Bobby
Hey, Ray met a guy that works at a barbecue place, and he said, come by sometime. He'd hook it up. Yeah, so that was his exact line. He goes, hey, anytime, man. I'll hook it up for sure. Where'd you meet him? Golf course. Oh, so you were just randomly paired with him?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby
And then you played a whole round?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby
So we got to know each other. Really nice guy. And he said he was a cook. And so that just got me to thinking. So say I go buy this barbecue place and he's gonna hook it up. Mm. What's he gonna give me, a 10% discount? Oh, that's a good question.
Eddie
No, I mean, it's free.
Bobby
Like, go by or. Do you have his number? I do, yeah. I would text him first and be like, hey, I know you extended the offer to hook it up. I'd love to come by and then see what he says. And he may go, come by, I'll get you free lunch. Something like that. I think that's what hook it up means. I hook, you Hook. Hook it up.
Lunchbox
Hook you up. Yeah. Not like a discount. Dude, you're good.
Bobby
So if you were to ever hook up tickets and you go, hey, I can hook it up. Yes. That's for sure. Free all the way around. Yes. Okay. If I can hook it up, that means I'm going to hook you up with something, not I'm going to get you a discount.
Lunchbox
One time.
Bobby
Unless I say hook you up with a discount specifically. Yeah, go ahead.
Lunchbox
One time, a buddy of mine, he texted me and my other friend, three of us, and he said, I got spurs tickets. Let's go.
Bobby
Okay. But he didn't say he's gonna hook it up.
Lunchbox
He just said, I got spurs tickets.
Eddie
Oh, that means.
Amy
So then what happened?
Bobby
That's an invite. I would feel like, that's an invite. So what happened?
Lunchbox
When we got there, he's like, all right, they're like 60 bucks each. And we're like, whoa, whoa. We thought you had. I thought there was. I thought this was on you.
Bobby
I would have thought that too, for sure.
Eddie
The wording is I got spurs tickets. Not like, hey, I got spurs tickets. They're 60 bucks each. Would you guys want to go?
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby
I think he needs to declare he expects you to pay for them.
Lunchbox
But he didn't use the words hook it up. Which I think when you say hook it up, that means free man.
Bobby
I got. And do you want to go? That means I have something and I'm inviting you to go with me. I could see where you were confused about that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we were both confused, me and my other buddy.
Bobby
Right. I would text him and say, like, hey, it's right from the golf course. You, you know, said I should come by sometime. I would love to come by. And the awkward thing is he's not front facing, so he's kind of back in the kitchen. So if I was to ask for him and he comes out and gets me a sweet tea, now he'll text a man. He'll know that's why you text him and you get an exact time. Okay. And then he'll just look for you.
Lunchbox
And then do you text? I'm here.
Bobby
Yeah, that's exactly what you do. The whole thing's kind of awkward, but.
Amy
I would also be prepared to pay.
Bobby
Just offering his first tickets, and it's a busy place, so, I mean, it's not like you could really time it out perfectly. If you want that hookup, you can get it. And I feel like he will hook it up, but yeah, you're right. There's probably a couple obstacles.
Lunchbox
Honestly, Ray, it sounds like a lot for a $10 lunch. Dude.
Bobby
That's why when he told me, I was like, hook it up, huh? The whole pig.
Eddie
A whole table for all my boys.
Bobby
What catering. I think he was extending something nice. I know. Hey, come by. I'll hook it up. Yeah, I still think about the time Lunchbox got paired up with Jamie Johnson playing golf and Jamie Johnson bailed on him.
Lunchbox
I think about that all the time.
Bobby
Anytime I see a tick tock clip of Jamie Johnson, all I think about is how Jamie Johnson did not want to play golf with Lunchbox.
Eddie
Yep, we did get paired up. And the guy said, oh, you're going to be playing with that guy out there. You probably know him. And I'm like, huh? And he goes, jamie Johnson, since you're in the industry. And I'm like, oh, okay. And so I go out.
Bobby
Did you know what he's saying?
Eddie
I looked it up in color. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby
And look like.
Eddie
So.
Bobby
Yeah, go ahead.
Eddie
And Jamie with. Was his buddy. So it was us three and we tee off. We. It was a par five, the first hole. We hit three shots, and then we're about to hit our fourth, and he goes, hey, man, you go on to. Go ahead. We're going to go back and start over.
Bobby
And I'm like, if I ever have Jamie Johnson on and I've thought about just having him on so I can hear that story. Because I bet he doesn't remember.
Lunchbox
Probably not.
Bobby
But the fact that he was like, I don't want to play golf with you. You just go. That's like.
Amy
Do people ever do that where they decide to start over? I mean, did they have, like, bad.
Eddie
No, they didn't have bad shots. They just say, hey, we're gonna head back and tee off again. You go ahead and go on. Not, Not. Hey, do you want to go back and tee off again? Right.
Bobby
We're all gonna start over. You go by yourself? Yeah, I've not heard of that happening before.
Lunchbox
Did you Talk to him before that happened. Lunchbox.
Bobby
We're in the business together.
Eddie
No, you know me. I just said, hello, blah, blah. And then we teed off on the first hole. It was literally nine or ten minute golf round with Jamie Johnson.
Lunchbox
I'm telling you, there's something on the golf course with Lunchbox. Like, people don't like him on the golf course. Like, I don't know what it is. I remember we played one time and this old man was like, so every shot I hit. Good shot, Eddie. God, that's a great shot. Ooh, good putt, Eddie. And then Lunchbox will hit a perfect one, laying on the green right by the stick. Nothing. You wouldn't say a thing to Lunchbox.
Eddie
That's weird.
Bobby
Do you find that people are turned off by you while playing golf?
Eddie
Sometimes, yeah.
Bobby
Is it because you're so aggressively angry, like, you slam your club and curse and.
Eddie
Maybe. But I think that's the sound of a golf course. That's what happens on a golf course.
Caller
Not.
Bobby
Not really.
Eddie
Oh, man. I did play, like, there was one time, and I was. I played with a father and a son, and the son was getting really mad, and the dad was like, man, I don't have a. A wedge anymore because we played the other day and I got mad and I threw it up in the tree and it got stuck. And I'm like, is that how I look and sound on the golf course?
Bobby
But every hole.
Lunchbox
Yeah, every hole.
Eddie
And, yeah, it was very awkward. So I can see how it can be awkward if, you know, when you get angry and get upset. But I do feel that when I'm out there that people don't really. They're not really receptive to me, if you know what I mean.
Amy
What's that about?
Eddie
I don't know. I'll tell them, good shot. They're like, thanks, I had a good shot. And it's like, nothing.
Bobby
Hey, what do you think it is?
Lunchbox
I think he kind of just. It's kind of rough around the edges, you know, and people are just like, I really don't want to interact with.
Eddie
So do you think Jamie Johnson got that feeling after, like, three shots?
Lunchbox
I don't know what Jamie Johnson was thinking. I don't know.
Bobby
All right, let's go around the room. Amy, you're up.
Amy
So did y' all see Kiefer Sutherland was arrested?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby
He, like, fought with his rideshare guy.
Amy
Yeah. So he got into. Yeah, Ride hail. That's what the artist kept calling it. I don't know if it's Uber, Lyft, whatever. And all it's saying is that he physically assaulted the driver. And they. The driver didn't need medical attention, but the driver called 911 and then he was arrested and taken to jail. They've reached out for comment. I just really want to know what happened because his bail was set at $50,000.
Eddie
Oh, that's a lot.
Amy
And he was in jail for a few hours. Imagine if you're in jail and 24 walks in.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Or Designated Survivor.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Do you want to beat him up or do you want his autograph? Or, like, how does like.
Bobby
No, I think you see, if you're someone who is bordering on being a litigious person, you see a rich person who just hit you and now you're gonna make some money. I think that's what you see.
Lunchbox
No, I'm talking about in jail.
Bobby
Oh, I thought you meant by the right. The right.
Lunchbox
You're in jail. Right. And you see Keter Sutherland walk in. Like, I know jail's a rough place. Do like, does he get roughed up in there or does he, like, probably.
Amy
In a holding cell?
Bobby
Jail, though, it's not prison.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby
Yeah, big difference. I watched, I think, 1992 locked up on TikTok yesterday. No, not locked up. Scared Straight. And I watched like five, five minute clips in a row. And they take these kids in and this guy is going, there's like a 12 year old and he's like, f you, you little effer, if you ever see me again. And he's going at him hard. Right. That's the whole purpose of that show, Scared Straight. They take people in there and show them what prison's like. And this other guy makes him. Makes the kid hold his pocket and walk around.
Lunchbox
Oh, dang.
Bobby
They went hard on that show.
Lunchbox
Scared them straight.
Bobby
I mean, these little kids are just little punks.
Lunchbox
So they're trying to teach them a lesson.
Bobby
They're trying to scare them and try not. Well, yeah, they're trying to scare them into not making bad decisions because they will end up in jail.
Lunchbox
Okay. And then locked up, that is more.
Bobby
That's just people in prison.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby
So scared Straight. People that aren't in prison, but they're giving them a taste of what it'll be like if they continue to make bad decisions. And I think this was 1992. It was wild to watch that was on television. Like, they had a kid carrying a pocket. You know what a pocket. You carry somebody's pocket. That means you're doing. You're doing stuff to them sexually.
Amy
They're your b.
Bobby
And they were. Obviously. They weren't making the kid do the stuff, but they were just showing them what it was like. I couldn't stop watching. I watched 25 minutes of it. I went one TikTok clip to the.
Amy
Next on Prison Break. The.
Bobby
The guy's like, I'm Crazy Eddie. Whatever his name was. Crazy Calvin. He was up in his face. Sorry.
Amy
Well, I don't know. I was just thinking of the pocket holder that he had a nickname. A teabag or something. I think that's the first mouse, but yeah. Anyway, we don't really know what happened.
Bobby
You know what a teabag is, though, right? It's like if you were laying on the ground and I just hung my nuts on your face, that'd be a teabag. Like when you do a tea bag and a cup.
Amy
Okay, got it. Yep. You just dip it down.
Bobby
Yeah. What do you call that when you dip it down?
Lunchbox
What do you call it?
Amy
Steeping.
Bobby
Steeping. Yeah. Yeah. That's what a teabag. If you're teabagging someone. Like, they did that in college.
Amy
Well, I mean, now that you're telling me, it sounds familiar.
Lunchbox
You brought it up, Amy.
Amy
I did. So Kiefer, he hasn't been in trouble. He hasn't been in trouble with the law in more than a decade. His last arrest was in 2007, when he spent 48 days in jail following a DUI conviction.
Bobby
So.
Lunchbox
So they don't have details on what happened in there?
Amy
Not. Not yet. I didn't. I was hoping. I don't. If y' all maybe saw something else, but I.
Bobby
Look, I just saw. I beat up a ride share, Remember when Michael. Or beat up a ride share.
Lunchbox
He did.
Bobby
He did, yeah. Let me look that up.
Amy
I thought. He's a gentle giant.
Bobby
Let me say it. Allegedly for now.
Lunchbox
I just saw him yesterday.
Bobby
You did?
Lunchbox
Yeah. Where? Basketball kid. I see him all the time. Basketball.
Bobby
Eddie plays one on one against him every Wednesday.
Lunchbox
Yeah, me and Michael are.
Bobby
What is it? Every Tuesday.
Lunchbox
Here we go.
Bobby
From 2017. Load her up for me, buddy. We have slow Internet today or what? There we go. Thanks, Mike. Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Michael or has been cited for allegedly assaulting an Uber driver in Nashville, Tennessee.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I mean, it's a big dude.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby
The Incident was reported April 14 and or has been ordered to appear in court for a misdemeanor assault charge. He's best known for the blind side. Man, if there's somebody. I don't want to get assaulted By. It's Michael Orr.
Lunchbox
No, man, he's huge. Like, I wouldn't ever pick a fight with him.
Bobby
We are aware of an incident occurred involving Michael. Team spokesman Stephen Drummond said we have no further comment at this time. Yeah, I hope that everything's gone straight since then. It's been a while ago, but I just think about that when people beat up ride shares, I'm like, imagine you get beat up by Michael Lohr. That's a great story. And it's like somebody you don't get beat up by.
Lunchbox
He's massive.
Bobby
This happened in Nashville, but he's playing for the Panthers. At the time, I think he was still living here from when he played with the Titans.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby
Six, four, three. Fifteen.
Eddie
Oh, that's a big human.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby
You know what I think about with big guys? Like, they die earlier. Not even, like, just tall. Even. Like, I saw a clip of, like, Kevin Garnett doing an interview, and he was talking about how top people that are really tall just die earlier. Big people, their body's doing more.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
And they die earlier.
Amy
Big dogs.
Bobby
Yeah, big dogs die earlier.
Lunchbox
A buddy of mine, his dad is really big, and he said he's just had health problems for so long because of his size.
Bobby
Like, you don't see any 7 foot, 70 year olds. Pretty crazy. Studies consistently show that taller people die younger with shorter individuals living two to seven years longer, primarily due to increased risk of certain cancers and cardiovascular issues.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I was going to think that because, like, they're so long that, like, does the blood just take forever? The heart has to pump.
Bobby
The heart's got to pump.
Amy
But.
Bobby
But then you could argue, well, the heart's bigger, but just generally, I think that's why Asian people live longer.
Lunchbox
It's more compact.
Bobby
Like, people that are generally smaller in these countries live longer, have longer lifespans.
Lunchbox
That's interesting, Ray.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Congrats, buddy. I'll see you guys at 100, baby. That's why Chihuahuas live so long.
Lunchbox
Ah, Chihuahuas are the best.
Bobby
All right, Amy, thank you for that lunchbox.
Eddie
Yeah. There was a big fight at a Georgia prison over the weekend. Like, 13 people injured and three inmates dead.
Lunchbox
Dang.
Eddie
And what's crazy is one of the ones that died, he had just been transferred there. He was getting out on Wednesday.
Toyota Ad Voice
No.
Bobby
What was the fight about?
Eddie
They said gang related.
Amy
Wasn't it during visitations?
Eddie
Yeah. So, like, a lot of the visitors had to be escorted out, but it was out in the yard and they just started fighting. So the guy had been in for 20 years and was getting out today.
Bobby
That's so sick. So was he a part of the fight, though, or was he caught up in the fight?
Eddie
They don't say. They just said that they were sitting. They released the name of the three guys that died, and his family was saying he was supposed to get out.
Amy
When he was or was he the reason for the fight?
Bobby
There's a difference. Like if he's part of the fight. There's a difference that if he just got caught up in the fight and he was getting out Wednesday.
Amy
Right. Or if it's like, hey, we were supposed to kill him and he's getting.
Lunchbox
Out Wednesday, but he had just gotten transferred. So, like, you can't. You don't have that much time to start making enemy.
Bobby
Well, well, if you.
Lunchbox
Enemies are everywhere, as soon as you're there, you're just part of the.
Bobby
Yeah.
Amy
You arrive and they've got you on a list.
Bobby
Want to know about the list? How do you know that their name is.
Lunchbox
How do you know all that?
Amy
Just experience in life watching things.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
But they said the fight lasted about 90 minutes.
Bobby
You probably let him go stop the fight for 90 minutes.
Eddie
They were using non lethal things to stop the brawling. Like pepper spray and like bean bags and.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah.
Bobby
And they got. People just kept fighting. They're like, that doesn't hurt me.
Eddie
I guess so.
Bobby
Eddie, you're up.
Lunchbox
All right, so Heinz. Heinz is coming up with a cool invention that they had that they're releasing. It's called the fry box. All right. For the first time ever, some restaurants and some stadiums and venues are going to have a fry box where you order your fries with a little pocket on the side that comes with ketchup in it.
Bobby
Yeah, I like it. I also like Whataburger does. I like that kind of ketchup. That is a box. Yes. That way you can sit it in your car. I mean, it's all about being able to have it sit somewhere and not get super messy.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And you think, like, a stadium is a great place for it to all be there in one spot.
Bobby
Yes, yes, yes. So that's excellent.
Eddie
Oh, cute.
Lunchbox
Isn't that cool?
Amy
I see the way they're doing it now. I was picturing it in my head. That's pretty cool.
Bobby
Oh, it looks like.
Amy
Look at it. It's like a little. It's like a little pocket.
Lunchbox
Yeah, the little pocket with a ketchup in it.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Because the packets are the worst, right? The packets are like the worst. So.
Bobby
Okay, let me see if I can describe this because to me it sounded like you got a box and there was just a little portion of it in the box that was ketchup.
Expert/Assistant
This.
Bobby
Think of when you go to McDonald's when they put it inside that little holder. They scoop it. That holder.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
On the back of that sleeve there is a pocket that has ketchup in it.
Amy
It opens up.
Lunchbox
So you're.
Amy
Yeah, the people at the stadium, they're like, okay, fill the fries in and they're like, pump the ketchup in. And then you don't have to open.
Bobby
Or mess with anything built into the. Yeah, it's good.
Amy
You just.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm thinking.
Amy
Oh, and Heinz is the best.
Lunchbox
My favorite, though. My favorite are the ones where you go to the restaurant and you pump the ketchup in a little cup. Then you can bring like four little cups to your table. Yeah, that's my favorite.
Bobby
I just don't like that. Cuz I don't like touching things other people have touched. Like hundreds of people have. Just all over that crap.
Amy
Well, you can get a napkin and then use the pump. That's what I do at the gas station.
Bobby
Or you can use your foot. There are many things you could do.
Amy
Not for ketchup, but for the. Use your forehead with your foot, you know, or sleeve. Yeah.
Bobby
Okay, Morgan.
Amy
So a dog has won the first ever film award.
Bobby
A dog has won the first ever film award for what award?
Amy
Yeah, so Indy, the real life dog of director Ben Leonberg, plays the protagonist in the movie Good Boy, which is a horror movie told from the perspective of the dog. And so he got the best performance in a horror or thriller film at the Astra Film Awards. And it's the first time that's ever happened with an animal, has gotten an award.
Bobby
What's an Astra award, Mike? It's one of the side ones. Yeah. It's not a major one.
Lunchbox
Wait, wait, is that a union?
Eddie
The dog got best actor.
Amy
Yeah, he beat out Ethan Hawke, Alison Brie, Sylvie Thatcher, Sally Hawkins.
Bobby
But maybe the dog was really good in it.
Lunchbox
He was. Yeah, maybe it was a great performance. You got an award.
Bobby
The dog doesn't even know it's acting. Like, should you get an award for acting if you don't know it's acting? But they would spend like hours making sure the dog was comfortable and like, it would take that long to do one scene.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby
The dog doesn't always act together.
Amy
Maybe it's like the dog's trainer that gets the. Well, and there wasn't really a trainer on board. They were saying, like, they just had the camera in the right place at the right time, and they were coaxing him with a combination of everyday commands, weird sounds, physical gestures, and food.
Bobby
This dog's on the Truman Show. He's not acting. They're recording him and living his life. They're putting him in situations and then recording him.
Lunchbox
See, I bet Lassie would be upset about this.
Bobby
I had multiple Lassies.
Lunchbox
Oh, they do.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay, well, forget that.
Eddie
What about Marley and me or the.
Lunchbox
Dog that played Marley? Like, there are some dogs that Turner.
Bobby
And Hooch dogs don't know they're acting.
Eddie
That's what I'm saying. Like, really a dumb thing. They're just trying to get attention, and it works.
Lunchbox
You think Ethan Hawk's mad about this?
Eddie
Oh, yes.
Bobby
If they recorded Ethan Hawk not acting, they were just putting him in situations and recording him.
Lunchbox
Uhhuh.
Bobby
That's Truman show someone not knowing they're being recorded.
Lunchbox
So you think this is dumb?
Bobby
I don't care. Well, they said by the end of it, he started to associate the camera. Like, okay, it's time. Where they're gonna start filming me.
Lunchbox
So now he became.
Bobby
When they pulled the camera out, he was like, okay, I kind of know what we're doing now. So maybe he didn't know he was acting, but he kind of had association of the cameras out. Time to perform a little bit. It's a bit of ringing the bell.
Lunchbox
Pavlov. Mm. Yeah.
Bobby
If every time you see a camera, there's an expectation, and if you meet the expectation, you get something. You then understand the expectation when you see the camera.
Lunchbox
So is that acting?
Bobby
No, it's not. A dog doesn't understand the concept of acting.
Lunchbox
You think the dog watches a movie and is like, that's me.
Bobby
My dogs, they go crazy. If there is an animal of any kind on the screen, not even barking, just. It's just up there. Eller goes crazy. It's weird that you can see that flat thing and know that that's a window into other things because it's not three dimensional. And she goes crazy. She thinks it's an animal for her to play with. And then Stanley just does what Eller does.
Lunchbox
So just copies.
Bobby
He just. Yeah, he. He whines now at the, like. If, like, delivery guys. And he doesn't whine, but Ella will want to be like. And so he'll now see someone and go. And he howls like the sirens do. Stanley does. Like, a cop will come by or an ambulance driving by. And he'll start going, wow, that's cute. It's crazy. What were you saying?
Lunchbox
Oh, have you seen that TikTok where there's a dog sitting next to a cake? That's like a dog and the woman cuts through the cake?
Bobby
A lot of us are AI, though.
Lunchbox
Is it?
Amy
Huh?
Lunchbox
Oh, come on, man.
Amy
I'm not the only one that falls for it.
Lunchbox
I don't think most of the ones.
Bobby
That I've seen are AI, but maybe the one you saw wasn't. But I've seen a lot of those. Most of them I've seen are AI. And the dog looks kind of like the dog.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby
And they cut through it. They're like, what are you doing?
Lunchbox
I lied so hard.
Bobby
Most of them are AI. Yours may have been real. Could have been the first one that inspired all the AI. Speaking of AI. So remember I was talking about in St. Louis, maybe yesterday, all those monkeys?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby
In the city. No, I was asking Amy because she looked at me like, I don't remember this.
Amy
No, no, I do. Because then it led to us talking about the other monkeys that got.
Caller
Had.
Amy
Had the diseases and they got shot.
Bobby
So would you show me what a vervette monkey looks like? Because again, they're dead set on letting us know these are vervette monkeys. And I don't know if they even look like monkeys. Oh, cute. So they were on the loose in North. I can't see. I have no vision. You have no brain. I have no vision. We need people to patch us together. So they're all over St. Louis, and so they were making these efforts. Oh, those are real monkeys.
Lunchbox
So cute.
Bobby
They are cute, and they're not tiny. Huh? That's a real monkey.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby
So they could have just said monkey, but they were. They wanted to say vervet. So I thought maybe it was like a micro monkey or something.
Amy
But their vervette might be the coloring.
Bobby
Oh, I'm sure I just didn't. But they were acting like we either knew what that meant or it meant something that would change our perspective on what the monkeys were doing. No, those are just like, monkey.
Lunchbox
It's a monkey.
Bobby
So anyway, they started to try to find them, and people were posting videos, like, with them and holding the monkeys. But it was people making AI videos all through St. Louis. So reports started coming out that people had captured them, and they were posting pictures and videos of themselves with the monkeys. The Department of Health spokesperson Willie Springer says his office, along with police, they're having a challenging time because the people are posting pictures. They're not even real. They're doing A.I.
Lunchbox
Oh boy.
Bobby
They're like, look at the monkey I got that's hanging off of him. And it's AI Right now they say there's about four more out, but they're not exactly sure how many are gone. How do you not have a total inventory of how many monkeys you had and how many are missing?
Lunchbox
Yeah, you should know. Exactly.
Bobby
That's from the Associated Press. But hilarious. People are making AI monkey pictures and videos.
Lunchbox
Any chance some of these monkeys never get found? And then we now have monkeys in America, like wild monkeys.
Bobby
Oh, I thought you meant they'd be dead.
Lunchbox
No, no, no. Like pythons. You know, they're pythons in Florida because.
Bobby
Who knows it's got a mate with something, another monkey. So no. Okay. Unless they find another monkey, I don't think there's enough out there to create a whole new monkey habitat.
Lunchbox
Because I did see another TikTok in Florida where a lady was kayaking and a bunch of monkeys were jumping in the water. But I know that was fake because there are no monkeys in Florida.
Bobby
I have a feeling you didn't think it was fake till we just told the other one was fake.
Lunchbox
Now I think everything's fake.
Bobby
South Carolina reports 124new measles cases since Friday.
Lunchbox
Since Friday.
Bobby
Since Friday. Measles continue to run rampant in South Carolina. The State yesterday reported 124 new measles cases since Friday, bringing the outbreak total to434. The South Carolina outbreak began in early October. Georgia, Oregon, Virginia also reported their first measles cases of 2026. Last year, the US sold 2,000 measles cases, the highest number since 1992, all with unvaccinated people. The CDC recommends two doses of the MMR vaccine, which is 97% effective against measles. That's from ABC News. What's crazy is the vaccine is literally a top five invention ever in the history of the world. And it's become so pro, just black and white. Pro or anti vaccine. And it has created this. My mind is blown. My mind is blown by this. And my mind is still blown that we're protecting people that rape kids. The FC files, it's, it's. My mind is blown like they. The court said that those files had to come out what, December 19th of last year. I believe that's the date they did. And they put out 1% of them and they blacked out everything. My mind is blown that we are protecting child rapists. I just can't believe I can't believe it. There should be no political affiliation association with anything. If people rape kids, we should know and they should go to jail. That's it.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
I mean, this is a little bit on similar vein, but Sharon says so on Instagram. She posted a thing of like some of you would have would be people that would say where Anne Frank was hiding. And it shows.
Bobby
Yeah, it's just like the worst thing you could possibly do, just like in hell is, I guess, kill a kid. I don't know. Same. Kill a kid, rape a kid. Same. That's terrible. That's the worst thing you can do. Hurt a kid.
Lunchbox
Hurt a kid.
Bobby
It's the worst thing you can do. And the fact that we are protecting them, our government is protecting them. It's the craziest thing in my life that I've ever seen. But it's become so normalized because it's been such a slow roll. If you were just put in a vacuum, every single person in America would say the same thing. I was thinking about this last night. It is literally the craziest thing that we're protecting pedophiles. So anyway, there's that. Walmart is expanding drone service delivery. I have a theory about this too. Not about Walmart, but just in general. I love it. Make life easier for me. I'm all in. Right. And so I'll talk about this first. Working with the drone company wing, Walmart is rolling the service out to 150 more stores. Los Angeles, Miami, St. Louis, Cincinnati. They already do it in northwest Arkansas because that's the hub and I'm very familiar with it because we're there a lot and so they're going to start doing more. The drones can carry up to five pounds and travel up to 65 miles per hour. And this story's from Engadget. I think the CIA is involved in that. Just in general, like, they want this all to happen because the more drones that are flying over, the more normal it becomes. The more drones are flying over and the more normal it becomes. I can fly drones over all the time. We just think it's a Walmart drone service. Something can fly over our house pretty low with a bag on it. Doesn't have to actually be anything in it or like that's Walmart delivering.
Amy
So what? Just another way for them to spy.
Bobby
Theory, theory. But if I were the ca, that's what I would do. I would help. I'd help help these companies do this because it does nothing but help me. And the CIA is really not Supposed to do much on American.
Amy
That as I was thinking, like, could it be more like the FBI?
Bobby
Yeah, it could be total surveillance, but yes. All right. Boom. Over 400 over $40,000 worth of Pokemon cards were stolen from a game store last week. I mean, it's. Why that seems weird is because the word Pokemon, but if someone said over $40,000 in old baseball cards or football cards, you'd be like, dang. But because it's like a cartoon, people go, oh, that's hilarious. It's Pokemon. But they're just as valuable. I've never gotten to the Pokemon cards because I don't know anything about Pokemon. And also, I call it Pokemon until I hear people talk about it that actually know it. And it's Pokemon, right? Yeah, Pokemon.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby
How do they say it? And is it from Japan? Yeah. Because it's short for Pocket Monsters. It is. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Pocket. Pocket Mon.
Eddie
Who knew? That's breaking news.
Bobby
Short for Pocket Monsters, but that's not Japanese. I think they were thinking long term of making it worldwide. Huh. Mind's blown. Pocket Monsters. That's Pokemon.
Lunchbox
Amazing.
Amy
Well, so if it's short for Pocket Monsters, wouldn't it be Pocket Pokemon?
Lunchbox
Pokemon.
Bobby
Pokemon. But Pokemon. Pokemon.
Amy
Now I'm confused how to say nobody says poke it.
Bobby
I think.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby
I think it's okay. I think they just went with how it was spelled. Like, they shortened it and it was Pokemon.
Amy
I get it. I just was thinking, do people pronounce.
Lunchbox
Pocket differently in different places?
Bobby
Pokemon.
Amy
How much you got in your poke?
Bobby
The words were combined, and then you just read it like that. But I don't know. I didn't know it was Pocket Monster.
Amy
Me neither.
Bobby
Wyoming is the best state to retire.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah?
Amy
Yeah. Let's go.
Bobby
It seems too cold to me.
Eddie
Yeah, it seems freezing.
Amy
I don't care. It also seems beautiful and peaceful.
Bobby
I hear you. I don't like the cold. Quiet.
Amy
Unless you're on Yellowstone.
Bobby
I get why people go to Florida. Warm. No state tax.
Lunchbox
Oh, and the ocean, the beach. Yeah.
Bobby
That's the warm part of it, right? I mean, I. Sorry. My head is so. See it? Warm with beach boats. Yeah.
Lunchbox
So.
Bobby
But Wyoming seems like it'd be fun to go to for a minute if you don't like cold. But I don't want to stay there in winter. But the population of Americans age 65 and older reached about 61 million. And more and more people are moving to Wyoming. Secondly, it's New Hampshire cold, Vermont cold. Montana cold. South Dakota cold. All cold.
Lunchbox
Mm.
Bobby
New Jersey was the worst State to retire because of high cost of living. And then Massachusetts, New York, Alabama and Mississippi also right near the bottom from Fox News.
Eddie
You know what I find interesting though is you live your whole life in one city and then you retire. You made like all your friends and then you just move and have nobody.
Bobby
That seems weird, I think because there's retirement infrastructure built in certain places. Meaning there's a lot of retired people there. So it's other like minded old people. There are tennis courts, bocce ball. There's like entire areas in these places that are built for retired people.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby
And a community that gets built of just retired people that are there. But yeah, then your family flies down to sea, I guess. But yeah, that's why for the most part. And also when it gets cold, like your joints hurt and stuff, I'm already experiencing that. I'm done with the cold here. It sucks. I've hit my.
Amy
I don't think we've gotten that bad.
Bobby
I've hit my threshold. I've hit my threshold.
Eddie
It's gonna get colder.
Bobby
But it's been cold a couple times and I hate having to take the dog out at night when it's cold. I hate having to take the dog out in the morning and it's cold. I hate cold. I'm done. I would leave. I would move for three months of the year if I could beach. I don't care about the beach. But where I would go would have. Because you can go to beach. You go to North Carolina for the beach. It's cold there.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Yeah. But like you can Arkansas, like it's cold there.
Bobby
And I wouldn't go to Arkansas for those three months. I would go to the Keys, Florida or Texas. I don't want to go to New Mexico, Arizona because the time difference going back an hour.
Lunchbox
Should we move the show?
Bobby
Can't.
Lunchbox
Let's move the show to Florida.
Bobby
There's no state income tax here though either.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby
Or state. Yeah, state tax.
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby
Which is nice. There's not a lot of the colleges when they were doing and the portal is still open, but they do. It's not really nil. But they are paying players now from revenue share from the schools. They started to do and make images of people holding up money and going no state income tax in Texas. So I'd be like, here's why you should think. And then they would list it out because again, these players are going to where they can get the most money for the most part. And they'll list it out. If you come to Texas, and we give you half a million dollars after taxes, you're going to get 370,000. If you go to a state like, I'll just use Arkansas because there's a state tax. You only get $340,000 even though you're getting the same amount. So that's a selling point. That's why some players will choose to play in Florida, Texas, even Tennessee, because it's less money from their contract they're having to give up. And even though it'd be great to go play in California because the weather's great and if you're, you know, you want to be around, you know, media institutions, if that's your goal, too. The taxes are significantly higher out there. So all that is considered New York high, but high because it's the most desirable places to live, generally, because that's where everything is. New York and la, Chicago.
Lunchbox
Do you see that UCLA guy that died and left all that money to football?
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
To sports. Yeah.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It reminded me of you.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's like he dies, he's like, what am I gonna do with my money? Hey, will you just give it to sports so they can get better? I'm not going to be around, but let's give it to them.
Bobby
UCLA needs it, too, but.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
How much was it?
Bobby
It's millions. It was like 30 million or something.
Lunchbox
It was the most that I think the school's ever gotten.
Amy
30 million.
Bobby
We can look up the real number. It wasn't like a T Boom Pickens at Oklahoma State type money.
Lunchbox
How much was that?
Bobby
Well, there are people that leave hundreds of millions.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby
But this was a lot. And it was, to me, why it stuck out was it was sports. It was just sports. I did see the Magnolia baseball field at Baylor. You know who built it?
Amy
Magnolia Context clues. I know the.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, Chip and Joanna. They built it. So it's got like a bunch of antique stuff around there.
Bobby
I don't know if the bases are target collection, but it is like the Baylor field at Magnolia, something like that.
Lunchbox
That's cool.
Bobby
Which I thought was pretty cool.
Eddie
Yeah. The guy left 17.3 million to football and men's basketball. That's it.
Lunchbox
Oh, just those two sports?
Eddie
Yep.
Amy
That's still so much for something you're not even going to be here to enjoy.
Bobby
Yeah, but if you love it.
Lunchbox
But then the kids are like, all right, dad died.
Bobby
Like, yeah, I wonder if there were kids.
Lunchbox
Well, and.
Bobby
And who knows?
Amy
Maybe they got 20 million maybe for the kids. And this is how he Divvied it up. But if you. Oh, that would be. I would be.
Bobby
But I think he left all of it. I think that was all of his money.
Eddie
Because it says lane's pledge includes 11.4 million to UC, UCA, UCLA Health, and then also the Anderson School of management will receive 5.7 million. Rugby, 3.8 million, all from him.
Bobby
Oh, okay. He diversified. Then. I did the story when I read it, because I read the headline in the first paragraph, it just seemed like he was giving it all to football and basketball.
Eddie
And the center of Art performance will receive 1.9 million. Lane played rugby at UCLA and was the first coach of its women's rugby team.
Bobby
He was?
Lunchbox
Yep. Wow.
Bobby
Oh, he's really connected.
Amy
Yeah. Okay.
Lunchbox
That better?
Amy
Feels a little better.
Bobby
It's all the same.
Amy
But, yeah, no, I was thinking, like, if that was your family and that's what they decided to do, like, okay, cool. And you get nothing. Mm.
Lunchbox
That would suck.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Like Warren Buffett, you know, he says, I'm not leaving any money to my kids. But he sets them up, right? Not with money, but with education, with content opportunities. Yes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
Gives them the opportunity to make their own money. So if they leave all the money, but then he sets his own kids up and they've started to make their own money. I get that.
Amy
Yeah. They get to benefit from some good old nepotism. I'm sure it's fine.
Lunchbox
All you got to do is just say, I'm Warren Buffett's Warren Buffett.
Eddie
Come on in.
Bobby
He retired.
Lunchbox
Yeah. What's he doing now?
Bobby
Nothing.
Lunchbox
Playing golf all day.
Bobby
Retired. Yeah. The guy lived in the same house whole life.
Lunchbox
That's crazy.
Bobby
In Nebraska, I believe, is where he's from. Same house. Okay. I got a couple other things here. I have the top the 10 TV shows that are coming to an end this year. Tell me if you watch these good omens.
Amy
Nope.
Eddie
Never heard.
Bobby
Okay. It's coming to an end. It's a number one Outer Banks.
Eddie
Nope.
Lunchbox
Saw the first season.
Eddie
Yep.
Amy
Yeah, I used to.
Bobby
It is wrapping up this year for good. It's a teen adventure. It throws me off. I watched, like, the first five minutes of the first episode and thought, I'm too old for this show. Yeah, you did. It wasn't like driving a boat. And, like, kids, you know, if they start making out. I feel uncomfortable watching this. The Comeback on HBO is Lisa Kudrow's comedy. I know of it. I didn't. I never watched it. Yellow Jackets is ending. I watched the first two seasons. Liked Them. And then it just got too weird.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby
And I like weird. It just got too weird. Like, just give me some cannibals in the freaking woods trying to survive. I like that dynamic. But then it just got odd hacks. That's good. The Jean. Smart comedy. She's from Designing Women.
Amy
I like that.
Bobby
They're wrapping that up for good. Outlander. Never watched it. Have friends that love it. I need some time travel in that. Yeah. Queer Eye, man, that show's crushing to be on. I think it came back, though, right?
Eddie
Yeah, it came back. It was for a long time, then.
Bobby
Came back All American on the cw.
Amy
Oh, I watched that.
Bobby
Really?
Amy
Yeah, it's. It, like. It's like. Reminds me of One Tree Hill, Friday Night Lights type of vibe.
Bobby
It's wrapping up for good. The Boys, which is an excellent show. It's right up my alley, though.
Lunchbox
How many seasons was that?
Bobby
Maybe it's the fourth or fifth. It's the fourth. Yeah. It's awesome. It's if superheroes are real. Because you'd also have people that were, like, scheming and fraud.
Lunchbox
Yeah. They're like humans, too, right? Yeah.
Bobby
Yeah. Ridiculousness on mtv. Whoa.
Eddie
That's ending, huh? That's all they show now. That's crazy.
Bobby
That's from Screen Crush. I have 10 TV shows returning in 2026. Finally. And I did some of this on my Instagram story because I love some of these. Paradise is coming back on February 23rd. That show is awesome.
Eddie
Oh, I watched that show.
Bobby
Yeah, it's really, really good. So if you have Hulu, it's probably the perfect time now because get y' all lined up for whenever season two starts. I mentioned the Boys. That final season starts on April 8th. Scrubs Now, I'm assuming Scrubs came back.
Eddie
Yes. Is gone for a long time.
Bobby
Came back. Okay, so they came back and they're ending that. Ted Lasso coming back. Is going to have season four.
Eddie
What?
Bobby
No, I never watched all of season two.
Lunchbox
Oh, it's good.
Amy
I thought the last one was the last season, though.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I did, too. I thought it was over.
Bobby
Ted Lasso Season 4 comes mid to late 2026.
Lunchbox
Wow. I'm going to have to get Apple again.
Bobby
Hijack on Apple. That's pretty good. A little corny at first, but then got good. It has Idris Elba. Yeah. Idris Elba.
Amy
Oh, yeah. That was good.
Bobby
Mm. The Night Agent. That's the corniest show I've ever seen in my life.
Amy
But I like it.
Bobby
But it's still pretty good. It's so corny. They telegraph everything.
Amy
What does that mean?
Bobby
It's every trope. Well, you know, phone call. You can see the name. It's every old thing they used to do in television shows that we look back, it go corny. They do that in these shows. Oh, yeah. Euphoria, season three. I never watched that. I felt the same about it. Like, is teens making out? So I'm like, I don't need to.
Eddie
That was a good show.
Bobby
Yeah, I'm sure it's a great show. I just never jumped in because I felt uncomfortable watching teenagers do it. House of the Dragon, season three comes back this year. Your friends and neighbors, April 3rd, which is really good. John Ham.
Lunchbox
There's another one coming up, Season two. Oh, let's go, baby. I love that one.
Bobby
The Agency on Paramount. Plus, that show is awesome.
Amy
Oh, yeah, that was good.
Bobby
It's. I don't think I finished it, though. Type show with Richard Gere. Yeah. As the old. Yeah. Not as a main character, but yes.
Amy
I think I let that one fall off, man.
Bobby
It's.
Amy
I gotta go back.
Bobby
It's so good.
Amy
Richard Gere.
Bobby
Michael Fassbender's in that. He's the main character. Is it. It's CIA or FBI?
Amy
CIA, because he was. You know, there's people in Russia and.
Bobby
Yeah, it's good. The Diplomat, season four comes back on Netflix.
Amy
I'm ready for that one, man.
Bobby
Diplomat's a great show. The Bear and I watched season one and liked it. Never got back into it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I gave up on that one.
Bobby
WWE. Unreal. That's good. January 20th. I like that show.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby
Amy has an update from a friend about Lunchbox. He's taking Cialis now.
Amy
Yeah. So she said that it can be prescribed for what he's using. I just wanted to double check because my friend is a physical therapist specifically for the pelvic floor. And I wanted to get her thoughts on what Lunchbox was told. She even recommended some pts for him to call here so he can actually go get that done. And she was like, yeah, his prescription seems legit.
Bobby
I think it's legit, too. But she said it's all specs of it on him while he's sitting near us.
Amy
Yeah. So it can help with urinary flow, which he said his flow was fine. So is it just for the pelvic discomfort?
Eddie
I thought it was for the infection.
Bobby
Yeah. Remember? Because that was different. The pelvic was the stomach. He had an infection in his.
Amy
Oh, this is the. Okay, so that's for The. Okay. Well, she said. Hey.
Lunchbox
Hey.
Amy
So you're. Maybe you're getting a double because it can help with pelvic discomfort, but does.
Lunchbox
It still have the effects of does what it does.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby
And he's been staring at you a lot today.
Lunchbox
No, he's not. I'm not looking his way.
Bobby
No, I'm telling you, he's been looking at you a lot.
Amy
Are you constipated?
Eddie
Oh, no.
Bobby
Are you turned on? No.
Amy
Well, that was one of our questions because.
Bobby
No, dude, I don't even want to talk.
Lunchbox
It's so weird.
Bobby
Dude.
Eddie
Guys, it's science.
Bobby
Yep, it is.
Eddie
I'm sorry. I have an infection.
Lunchbox
She said, seriously, though, you know, you can take it at like, two o' clock every day. And that's daily.
Eddie
Yep.
Amy
Or before you go to bed, just into the night. As far, far away from us, a.
Bobby
Denver area gas station. I think they accidentally had diesel in their gas.
Eddie
Oh, no.
Bobby
Drivers across the Denver. Denver metro area are bringing cars to repair shops after diesel mixed in gasoline was sold at local stations.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
So it's the guy that was pump putting gas in the.
Bobby
From the Colorado Sun. State officials say the contaminated fuel came from a supplier in Reach locations, including Costco King Supers and Murphy Express. Vehicles shut down soon after. Fueling and repairs involved draining and cleaning the fuel systems. The company's alerted distributors. Over 200 complaints were made. Oh, that sucks.
Lunchbox
You know, I would probably do that a hundred times if it wasn't a different size. You know, like when you grab the diesel pump, different color. It's green, right? Usually green. But if you're not thinking and you just grab it and put it in there and put diesel in your car, your car's done. But they make it a different size, so it doesn't fit in your gas tank.
Bobby
Oh, I didn't know that. I never grabbed it.
Eddie
It's bigger.
Bobby
So you must have grabbed it before then.
Lunchbox
I did. I did. Not even thinking. I'm like, well, that's not going in. I'm trying to push it in. And then I realized, like, oh, that's the diesel pump.
Bobby
You got the Cialis pump.
Lunchbox
It's too big.
Amy
Yep.
Bobby
All right, that's it. Let's go take a break. Thank you, everybody.
Eddie
Bones.

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

Let's go to Tracy in North Carolina. Tracy, you're on the show.
Caller
Hey, Bobby. Yesterday, y' all were talking about the lottery in Texas. My mom won a million dollars a year ago. When she got done at the lottery office, she only brought home $427,000. And then she's got to turn around and pay $87,000 again in taxes this tax season.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Bobby
So then take it all out.
Caller
But, I mean, you don't get the millionaire.
Bobby
She got the lump. They probably took out a state or a. Some sort of. But they take.
Lunchbox
Right, I forgot about the state tax.
Bobby
Well, it depends on what state you're in. So you listen. It's awesome. First of all, I would say that's awesome. She won a million dollars. Except she didn't win a million. It's like when you make $50,000 a year, you don't go home with $50,000 a year. You go home with $38,000 a year. Same here. Sort of. Because as soon as you win a million, you're up in that upper tax bracket. But still, it. I don't know.
Amy
That sounds.
Bobby
It does sound like a lot. I know it sounds like a whole.
Lunchbox
Lot more than half a million gone.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
400,000 did she get also, Are you.
Bobby
Sure your mom's telling you swindled? But no, I'm just like, maybe mom didn't want her to know about all the money she still had.
Amy
Or like, if people reach out to her and they're like, this is a tax bill you have due. Wink, wink.
Bobby
How did she win the million dollars? Like, what is a scratch off?
Caller
Scratch off lottery.
Bobby
Scratch off is crazy.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's crazy.
Bobby
I can't believe people go and they see a $1 million winner. Aside from us talking about the money, what does she do with the money?
Caller
Oh, it's invested saved and invested smart.
Bobby
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Good.
Bobby
I feel like your mom's keeping a lot from you.
Lunchbox
The generic term.
Bobby
Yeah, I feel like, you know, mom didn't say exactly what she got. So she went in and they sent her home with how much again after the million?
Caller
427,000.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's a lot.
Bobby
I'm going to ask in North Carolina because again, every state has different rules, but I'm going to ask my assistant here. Hello. I have a question about the North Carolina lottery. We are talking to a woman who won a million dollars on a scratch off ticket. And apparently she came home with $427,000 and then had to pay $80,000 in taxes this year. Can you tell me why it would be that way or if maybe this person is a little misled?
Expert/Assistant
Absolutely. So winning a lottery prize like a million dollars is exciting, but the final amount you actually take home is quite a bit less because of taxes and withholdings. Typically, what happens is that when you win a large amount, the lottery automatically withholds a portion up front for federal taxes, usually around 24% or so for federal withholding. After that, depending on where you live, there might also be state taxes. North Carolina, for example, has a state income tax that would apply to lottery winnings. So if she ended up with around $427,000 initially, that means the lottery probably took out a chunk for federal taxes right off the top. Then when tax season came around, she likely owed additional taxes, maybe because of her total income bracket or because the initial withhold enough to cover her full tax liability. It's not that she's necessarily being misled. It's just that lottery winnings are taxed as income. And sometimes the final tax bill is a little higher than what was withheld.
Bobby
It can be a bit of a.
Expert/Assistant
Shock, but it's pretty normal.
Bobby
But does that those. Do those numbers check out? Meaning if you win a million, is there any reason that someone should end up with $360,000 overall?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Expert/Assistant
Let's break it down a little more. If you win a million dollars in North Carolina, typically the lottery will withhold that initial federal tax, let's say roughly 24% of a million, which is about $240,000. Then you've got North Carolina state tax, which might be another few percent. Let's call it around 5.25%, or about $52,500. So after those immediate withholdings, you might be left with something in the ballpark of $700,000. Ish. But that's not the end of the story because your total tax liability might be higher. When you actually file your taxes, you'll likely owe more federal tax because A big lump sum can push you into a higher tax bracket for that year. And depending on your other income deductions and how everything shakes out, you could owe another chunk of money when you file your return. Like that extra $80,000 she mentioned. In the end, it's totally plausible that a million dollar win might net out to somewhere in that $360,000.
Bobby
Doesn't make sense. And if we were talking about earlier, like, they don't take all the taxes out whenever you win the million dollars because that 20 something percent is not the upper tax bracket. And you're in the upper tax bracket once you have that. So they have to take out more taxes. You have to pay them later. I don't know, Tracy, I think your mom was holding something back from you. Just.
Caller
Well, I went with her to the lottery place, so I know that that's what they told her.
Amy
Oh, so she was there. I mean, and you're, you're just insane. That could be it.
Bobby
No, she, when she laid it out, that's not what she said. She said you should have like $700,000 by them taking out the first part of taxes. Like that's what you go home with. And then when you pay the rest of your taxes because you go up into like the 33% tax bracket of paying taxes. 33, 34%, it doesn't matter. I think it's awesome she won money. That'd be crazy to win a few hundred thousand, but man, 70% of all of it gone.
Lunchbox
Call it. You want a million dollars and you're like, no, I didn't.
Eddie
No, you didn't.
Bobby
We're probably wrong, but I would bet. I don't know. I don't know what I bet I wouldn't be back.
Lunchbox
Gotta think about this for a little bit.
Bobby
It just seems like if you win a million dollars, even if they take out a part of taxes, you're going to go home with more than $427,000 up front. But Tracy, what do. I don't know, anything. You were there. But I appreciate you sharing that. That's crazy. Did, did it feel like it changed your mom's life whenever she won?
Caller
No, not really. She just buys more lottery tickets now.
Bobby
Oh, wow.
Eddie
There you go.
Bobby
She's going to pay it all back. All right, well, we appreciate that call. Thank you so much for sharing that and hopefully we'll talk to you again soon.
Caller
Thank you. Bye bye.
Bobby
Bye bye. We weren't there. We don't know the whole story. But as told, I have a tough Time believing it is just that from what I know about what they do, what they hold, and what I've learned a lot about tax percentages in the past five, six years. Tina in Florida. Let's go talk to Tina. Tina, you're on the show.
Caller
Good morning, Bobby. How are you this morning?
Bobby
Doing pretty good. What can I do for you?
Caller
Well, I heard your comment this morning. Long conversation about gentlemen in a fancy car and a Lamborghini or what's sexy, what's not sexy. If you look around, you know, if a gentleman's in a car, there's nothing sexier than seeing a man in a beautiful pickup truck, in my opinion.
Bobby
When you say beautiful, does it be new, new and shiny? Or can it just be like a big, like, work truck?
Caller
No, big and new and shiny. Some of those pickup trucks cost more than any car put together. You know, you were talking about suburbans being a family car. If you look at some of those Ford F350s or the Dodge Rams, a man in one of those makes your eyes look that way.
Bobby
What I would assume based on this call is that she knows some guys that are really good looking or that she's attracted to that also drive the truck. Yeah, it's like when there's a name that you find not attractive, as in, like, romantic, but you're like, I really like the name. It's usually because somebody that you know and, like, has that name. And if you're like, oh, I don't like that name. If you're naming a kid or so, it's usually because maybe somebody you don't like growing up had that name and yet, or a villain, something you have a negative association with has that name. But I hear you. I think there are a lot of people that feel like Tina does. They want a dude in a big, big truck because of what that represents. Tina, I appreciate the call. Hope you have a great day.
Caller
Thank you. You too. Bye. Bye.
Bobby
See you. Let's go to Matt in Richmond, Virginia, who's on the phone? Hey, Matt, you're on the show.
Caller
Hey, good morning, Bobby.
Bobby
Morning. What's up, buddy?
Caller
Hey, good morning, studio.
Lunchbox
Morning.
Caller
I was wondering what your thought was on an NASCAR going to back to the Chase format and getting rid of the playoffs situation with the elimination races.
Bobby
I'm glad you asked that. I gotta tell you, I work for the NFL. I do an NFL show. I'm in. We do a show called 25 Whistles at a Sports Show. Baseball, basketball, football. Eddie's a big UFC guy. Heck, wrestling, all good. I Don't know anything about nascar. Like, I was not brought up around it. I probably know as much about NASCAR as I do soccer, so, like, I can wade ankle deep in it. Eddie knows more than I do.
Lunchbox
Oh, I just bet on it. I really like when he's saying those words. I don't know what that means.
Bobby
I didn't grow up around nascar, so I don't. Matt. I don't have an educated or knowledgeable answer to that. How do you feel about it?
Caller
I think it's a great move.
Bobby
Me, too.
Caller
Because the whole. The whole going from, you know, three races and then eliminating four drivers and then another three races, and then you go down to the final race and you have four drivers, and whoever finishes best out of that race wins the championship. You could have a driver that has never won a race all season long and win the championship if he runs well enough. But I think it's a great move that it has to be consistency. Wins the championship.
Bobby
I feel you. And I don't know much about that, but in golf, like, when they do the FedEx and they give away all the money, you cannot win a tournament the whole year. But if you score high enough in all the tournaments, you finish 2nd, 3rd, 2, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, and then you have enough points and you win, you can win the whole thing because you've not won a single tournament, but you've placed high enough. And some of those guys that won didn't maybe didn't make a cut. I hear you. I don't know enough about NASCAR to have an educated opinion, but now I do know they've shifted. I appreciate that because this is how I got my news from Matt in Richmond, Virginia. All right, Matt. Thanks, buddy. Bones, let's go talk to Tyler, who is in Tennessee. Hey, Ty.
Caller
Hey. Good morning, studio.
Bobby
Morning.
Caller
I wanted to call with a reminder that we are one month away from Valentine's Day. So Eddie and Lunchbox need to get their stuff in order.
Bobby
She almost sounds like a robot call.
Eddie
She does.
Bobby
I'm calling to let you know you have one month.
Lunchbox
It's like our wives. Like your reminder paid for this.
Expert/Assistant
Yeah, exactly.
Eddie
It's a service.
Bobby
Guys. Ty says you have one month till Valentine's Day.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby
Your thoughts, your feelings, Eddie.
Lunchbox
Mine is thanks for the reminder because I wasn't even thinking about that. So, yes, that's coming soon.
Bobby
Will you think about that? How will her saying that change your day today or your month leading up to it?
Lunchbox
Because there is something I've been wanting to do for Valentine's Day. So now I will jump on the planning process this week. Yes. I'm going to book whatever I've been thinking about. I'm not going to talk about it, but I'm going to book it.
Bobby
Okay. Lunchbox.
Eddie
It's not going to happen. It's a Saturday night that's going to be super busy everywhere you go. So maybe we'll do something on, like, the 16th, which is President's Day, or.
Bobby
What if you do something at home? What if it's a nice gift? What if it's.
Eddie
I don't do gifts. Like, gift. What am I going to get her? I've given her everything she needs. Like you, like me, three kids, a roof over our heads. I mean, so romantic. Like, gifts are not so. I already gave her a Christmas present. Like, so. I don't know. I don't. The Saturdays, that's tough.
Amy
Mm.
Bobby
I mean, but it doesn't have to be.
Eddie
But.
Bobby
But she's also giving you a month, right? And it's so you can.
Lunchbox
You want to resident.
Bobby
You make a reservation now at all these places where you're acting like you can't get in. If you do it now, you actually can get in.
Eddie
Here's the problem. You go out on Valentine's Day to a restaurant. Guess what? They have a set menu. They charge you extra money just because it's Valentine's Day. You go to that same restaurant two days before, two days after. Half price.
Amy
Okay? So if that's your problem, just plan something romantic at home. At home. Like, cook her something.
Bobby
Something appreciative. It doesn't even have to be like, you get in a tuxedo and deliver a piece of jewelry on a knee. Literally. It's just an acknowledgment like.
Lunchbox
Like you automatically think, dinner. I'm not thinking dinner. Like, dinner. I don't. We don't even do dinner.
Bobby
Really. I don't either.
Amy
Well, Eddie, I kind of want to know what your thing is.
Bobby
I think. I think a gift.
Lunchbox
A gift is nice.
Bobby
Like a token of appreciation. More so than a dinner. I just go where my mind takes me. When someone says, hey, Valentine's Day is coming up, I think, oh, I'd like to get my wife a nice gift for Valentine's Day. I don't think dinner. You think dinner?
Eddie
Yeah, I think, like an event, but it's, like, at the same time, I like, I'm tired of it being a woman's holiday.
Bobby
But you never do it. Holiday. You never do it. So what are you tired of? You never do that.
Eddie
That's why I got burned out. Like, I got burned out of always being the one that the responsibility is yours, yours, yours.
Bobby
But it doesn't have to be some massive undertaking.
Eddie
It kind of does. The way you guys calling. You got one month. Get something done.
Lunchbox
It's like, guys, you know what I realized? Like, my kids are watching me on Valentine's Day. And like, if I don't get my wife anything or like, treat her differently, they're not going to treat their wife representative like that. I just thought of this.
Bobby
You are representing men everywhere to your kids and what they. Hopefully they model you. Yeah, good.
Eddie
You can put an end to the cycle.
Bobby
You model for them. Yeah.
Amy
You can put an end to the cycle.
Lunchbox
Show them that you're not going to do anything.
Bobby
Everybody has a different relationship with Valentine's Day. And I don't care about that. But I'm saying if it is. If you want to do something, she's giving you enough time so it's not two days before and you're like, oh my God, I can't do anything because there's nothing left to do. She's saying, here you go, one month. If you want to do something, do it. You can set a dinner reservation right now pretty easily because nobody has booked anything a month out. You can remember to get a gift. You can do nothing.
Lunchbox
Sure.
Bobby
But don't be complaining about it when it gets closer because she's telling you now. But you're right, Eddie, your kids are watching you.
Lunchbox
They are. I realized last year, and not just.
Bobby
Valentine's Day, every day and how you treat your wife.
Lunchbox
It's true, man. My therapist told me that a couple years ago.
Bobby
It just now resonated.
Lunchbox
Well, no, no, no. I just thought about it because of.
Bobby
Valentine's Day took a while. Thank you for that, Ty. I appreciate that. We still have her. She leave us. All right, Ty. Okay, thank you. Bye bye. A newborn in Texas weighed 13 pounds. That's crazy. My wife is super pregnant right now. And we do the thing where you go in and they measure. Even then, I can't imagine a 13 pound anything coming out. It's double me from when you were born.
Amy
I was 6lbs 8oz or 8lbs 6oz.
Bobby
Little dyslexia here.
Eddie
Oh, here we go.
Bobby
Little Wednesday morning dyslexia. One of the two, Markie Smith, gave birth to her son Canyon just days before Christmas at a hospital in Arlington. They had to get it out by C section and I guess they were surprised. They thought maybe it'd be Around a nine pound baby. And even that's a large, large baby, but it came out 13 pounds. The average full term newborn weighs seven pounds.
Expert/Assistant
It's.
Bobby
It's basically two. Yeah, she had twins and one baby.
Amy
So based on that average, I guess I was. Probably.
Lunchbox
One of my boys was 10.
Expert/Assistant
10.
Lunchbox
Every time I go bowling, I show them the bowling ball. This is how heavy you were.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby
Local 12 with that story bio or.
Amy
One of your biologicals?
Lunchbox
10. Yeah, yeah.
Caller
Huh.
Lunchbox
Our second one.
Bobby
Do you know how much your adoptive ones weighed? No, I didn't know if you had that.
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby
That information there. Let's go to Alicia in Texas. Alicia, you're on the show.
Caller
Hey, Bobby. Morning, studio.
Lunchbox
Morning.
Caller
Hey, listen, I just want to know what do you think about the NFL being scripted? What are your thoughts on that?
Bobby
The NFL is not scripted.
Amy
Like. Like wrestling? Is that what she means?
Bobby
Oh, you're cutting out. You're cutting out. Start over.
Caller
Yes. They've got videos on it. They've got. They've got some footage, they've got some audio.
Bobby
Of what? Like tell morning. Okay.
Caller
The game. The Broncos game.
Lunchbox
Come on.
Bobby
The Broncos didn't even play last week, Bobby.
Caller
I heard it on Instagram. You know how we are.
Bobby
Okay.
Caller
You know how we are with social media. I'm getting ready to cross the bridge onto Corpus Christi. I don't want to get a ticket, so I just wanted to know what your thoughts are.
Bobby
Okay, thank you. The NFL is not scripted. To run an operation like that, you would need thousands of people abiding by a sacred rule of. We're just not going to talk about it. Somebody would leak after a hundred.
Amy
Who's Daryl Baker Jr. Nobody. Okay, well, is that who.
Bobby
Nobody.
Amy
It says here, Tennessee titans. Daryl Baker Jr. Stirs the NFL as scripted pot.
Lunchbox
Oh, that was whistleblower.
Bobby
Stirs the pot there. I'm telling you, it's not even about the NFL. An operation that big, over six decades. Yeah, seven decades. If it were scripted, you would for sure know it was scripted.
Lunchbox
Yeah, there are a lot of players that could see say anything.
Bobby
That's what I'm saying. There are coaches, trainers, and thousands and thousands of people. Yes, the NFL is not scripted. It's too big of an organization.
Eddie
Oh, my gosh. He said he was joking. Like he said, oh, my gosh. I followed the script all season, guys. Before every game we're given a script and people believed him. And he's like, guys, obviously it's a joke, you idiots.
Bobby
Some people don't get to the end of videos. I Appreciate you calling because she probably saw it immediately and called in and was like, I got to share. But yeah, you got to get to the end of these videos. Yeah, NFL, definitely not scripted.
Amy
That'd be crazy.
Bobby
If it was though, it'd be called sports entertainment then. Like wrestling. Wrestling scripted, right.
Eddie
People would still watch.
Amy
They sure would. Because wrestling is very popular.
Bobby
But wrestling has storylines. Wrestling has soap opera type storylines.
Amy
We have storylines inflate gate.
Bobby
The one thing Amy knows, that was the storyline.
Eddie
It was deflate gate.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was the opposite is deflated.
Amy
Whatever.
Bobby
And Flay gave probably something else we don't even know about.
Amy
Exactly. I mean it's a show. Think about it. It leads up to the big show.
Bobby
It's definitely entertainment. It is entertainment and they do make it to be a great product. But it is not scripted.
Amy
But the shadiest sport. Okay, so wrestling, take it out because that's scripted. But the shadiest non scripted sport is basketball.
Lunchbox
Yeah, boxing's a good one.
Bobby
Boxing.
Amy
Oh, I thought that was predetermined too.
Bobby
You thought boxing was predetermined?
Amy
Well, they're all in a ring, like anything in a ring.
Bobby
There have been instances probably of judges being paid or influenced.
Lunchbox
Sure.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
But not the fighters.
Bobby
No, but boxing, they have a board, they have a commission. It's supposed to be on the up and up, but I would say that's probably the most crooked sport.
Amy
Okay, so now a sport with a ball. Basketball, right?
Bobby
Yeah, but there's sure like there's been a referee that's been in trouble. But I mean if you have subjective umpiring or reffing, it could probably be influenced heavily. Where baseball has home plate.
Lunchbox
There's definitely been cheating. Cheating in baseball.
Bobby
But okay, you know what?
Amy
But boxing, okay, so, but big picture here is football is real.
Bobby
Yes.
Amy
It's not.
Bobby
I would say yes.
Amy
She was very confident whatever she saw on social media.
Bobby
What's the guy's name?
Amy
Oh, oh, the guy from the Titans. Daryl.
Eddie
Daryl Baker junior.
Bobby
Let's go over and talk to Tony Real. Hey, Tony, you're on the show in Denver, Colorado.
Caller
Hey, morning, studio.
Eddie
Morning.
Caller
So regarding the coming out of surgery and speaking a different language, a number of years ago I had heard something about this happening and I was actually having surgery planned. I had a knee surgery and abdominal surgery at the same time. So I was going to be under anesthesia for a while and I told my wife before I went in, when we were in the pre op area, I said, hey, when I come out, I'm only going to Speak Spanish. And at the time, I was reasonably fluent in Spanish. And she's like, no way. You won't remember, et cetera, et cetera, like Bobby said. And so I go through my surgeries, and I'm coming out. I'm starting to wake up. And of course, I had completely forgotten, but the guy in the recovery bay next to me was a Spanish speaker, and I heard him speaking to his family. I'm like, oh, that's right. I'm only supposed to speak Spanish. So when the nurse came in, and it was the same nurse we had before, I went in, kind of like the familiar face thing. And so she comes in, and she's like, oh, you know, how are you feeling? And I'm like, oh, Tango in the Water and Miesta Margo. And she's looking at me going, okay. And, you know, not quite sure what to do. So she's like, okay, how's your pain? I'm like, oh, no. You know, and so I'm just going with it. So she makes her notes, and she walks out. And then she comes back a little later, you know, checks in with me again. Same, same story. And so she goes out, shuts the curtain. I hear her say to another nurse, she's like, oh, my God. I don't know what's going on. I had this guy before surgery, and he and his wife were speaking perfect English, like, they're as white as can be. And now he's only speaking Spanish. I don't know what to do.
Bobby
As wide as can be.
Caller
3. Yeah, but this was a number of years ago.
Bobby
You're not as white. You're not as white as could be anymore. Yeah, the story was this guy who didn't know Spanish came out speaking Spanish. And my thing was you could play a prank on somebody, but you'd have to remember. But also, this guy knew a little Spanish, obviously, so this was like, ocho nun uno, and he's as wide as can be. We appreciate that story, Tony. Thank you all for listening to part two. We really love and respect the part two ers more than just the part one ers who just listen on the radio. And you know what? They're never gonna hear this, so it doesn't matter. We actually only kind of like them. We really love part tours, but don't tell any of the part oners that. But again, they'll never hear it unless they're here. So thank you for listening to the podcast. And we'll be back tomorrow. Feel like that's good. All right, bye. Everybody. This is an iHeart podcast.
