Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Government Agents Paid to Watch OnlyFans? ([02:59]-[04:48])

• Topic: New tax law reportedly requiring some IRS agents to review OnlyFans content to determine if it qualifies as “pornographic” and thus affects taxable tips.
• Crew’s Take: Bobby jokes about what it would be like to tell his wife his new job requirement—"I don't think that's true." (03:05)
• Perspective: The group agrees the task sounds strange and jokes about agents volunteering for it.
• Quote:
  • Bobby: “If I went home and told my wife, hey, my job is requiring me to watch OnlyFans, I think she'd go, I don't think that's true.” (03:00)

2. Where Do You Keep Your Phone at Night? ([04:49]-[07:23])

• Discussion: Survey on sleeping with phones—nightstand (53%), on bed (20%), under pillow, or out of the room (11%).
• Personal Hacks: Bobby keeps his phone under his pillow sometimes to avoid waking his pregnant wife.
• Notes: Alarm clocks are discussed as a dying breed.
• Memorable Moment:
  • Bobby: “Who does? What kind of psycho keeps their phone in another room?” (07:19)

3. Lending vs. Gifting Money to Friends ([07:54]-[09:46])

• Caller Dave’s Principle: Never “loans” money, just gives it; if repaid, happy to help again—reduces bad blood.
• Bobby’s Levels of Lending:
  1. Loan to close friends/family, expect not to get it back.
  2. Semi-close friends, expect repayment and get irritated if not repaid.
  3. Wouldn’t lend to some people at all (e.g., Lunchbox, noted for not paying back).
• Quote:
  • Bobby: “For me, it’s always been if you loan money to a family member…you have the expectation you’re not going to get it back. If you do, that’s great.” (08:29)

4. Listener Offends the Crew with Generational Slang Comments ([10:09]-[12:59])

• Caller Aiden (17) asks how the show keeps up with “younger kid lingo," referencing the “six, seven” meme.
• Crew’s Reply: Bobby jokes that their jobs keep them connected to pop culture (and TikTok).
• Quote:
  • Aiden: “No offense, you’re a little older. How do you keep up with what the younger kids say?” (10:44)
  • Bobby: “To you we’re ancient.” (12:36)

5. Did Bobby Spoil a TV Show? The Great “Spoiler” Debate ([13:16]-[15:59])

• Caller Brad: Accuses Bobby of spoiling the winner of “Special Forces,” says not everyone catches up as fast.
• Bobby’s Argument:
  • If the winner is already doing press and social posts, “the show is spoiling itself.”
  • “No spoiling a competition show when the winner’s doing interviews…” (14:17)
• Crew Chimes In: Debate over what constitutes a spoiler and “agree to disagree” resolution.
• Quote:
  • Bobby: “To me, if the person is doing press as the winner… the show is spoiling itself.” (15:27)

6. Should Kids Go to College Close to Home? ([18:29]-[23:49])

• Caller Erin’s Dilemma: Daughter choosing between Oklahoma State (free tuition, close to home) and University of Arkansas (farther, but $ out-of-state waiver).
• Bobby’s Advice:
  • Going farther from home encourages independence (“at least an hour and fifteen minute buffer”).
  • “Don’t go to college where you live…hard to mature if the washer and dryer is down the road at your parents’ house.” (19:40)
  • “I wouldn’t take out loans—college is less valuable than ever unless it’s for a super specific degree.” (22:32)
• Quote:
  • “If you want the real college experience, you want to grow as a human being, don’t go to school really close to where you grew up.” (20:22)

7. Shock Bracelet to Wake Up Teens ([17:09]-[18:19])

• Caller Cassie: Shares that her boss uses a remote-controlled shock bracelet to wake her hard-to-wake son, which has started working as a deterrent.
• Reaction: Crew finds this both clever and a bit wild.
• Quote:
  • Bobby: “The thing I would worry about, though, is abuse of that app… but, yeah, that’s funny.” (18:05)

---

Notable Quotes & Funny Moments

• Bobby on IRS and OnlyFans:
  “I know I've been at the IRS for 11 years, and at times my job has been unfulfilling...I think she'd say it's time to leave the job.” (03:38)
• Eddie on College Choices:
  “You guys figure it out.” (23:09)
• Bobby on Slang:
  “I wear cardigans every day to work. But I do work in the entertainment space, and I think that's kind of kept me a bit younger.” (11:46)

---

Lightning Round: Additional Listener Stories, News & Banter

Residuals for Shows on Streaming ([27:24]-[30:11])

• Listener asks if Bobby gets more money from “Nashville” being on Netflix.
• Bobby: Hasn't noticed any money—explains syndication vs streaming deals for actors; small roles get little or no residual leverage.

Wild True Stories

• Caller Tiffany: Legally named “Baby Girl Day” until age 21 due to parental indecision. (30:22)
• Discussion on keeping deceased parent’s phone numbers in contacts. (31:34)

Odd News Highlights ([33:56]-[35:59])

• Raccoon gets drunk and passes out in a liquor store. Reminds Lunchbox of giving beer to pets in college (which Bobby and Morgan find odd and a little disturbing).

Viral Good Stories ([35:39]-[39:50])

• Army vet, 88, receives $1 million+ on GoFundMe thanks to an influencer after a conversation about his struggles with bills.
• Donation site “tip” debate: Bobby feels weird about tipping websites while making charitable donations.

Science Corner: Chernobyl’s Radioactive Mold ([43:18]-[48:10])

• Eddie: Shares a story of mold found thriving on radiation at Chernobyl.
• Expert (AI): Explains radiotropic fungus that uses melanin to convert radiation into energy.
• Applications: Potential for radiation shielding in space, biotech, or maybe even cures for disease (or, Bobby jokes, the next zombie apocalypse).

Holiday Season Tips ([49:02]-[51:28])

• Alcohol absorption: Carbonated mixers make you feel the effects of alcohol faster.
• Christmas lights: Best to turn off at night for safety, though Bobby likes the “spirit.”

Other Noteworthy Banter & Stories

• Listener Calls: Various light-hearted segments about baby names, parents’ contacts, train of thought on “domesticated raccoons,” and a lighter stuck in a man's stomach for 30 years.
• Workplace Holiday Party Recap:
  • Morgan and Lunchbox recount the office party—theme was “fur, blue, or silver,” velvet jackets, and some confusion over RSVP.
  • Bobby and Mike both express disinterest in large gatherings.

Tragic News: Ty and Daniel’s Car Accident ([60:14]-[63:23])

[Bobby Bones]

The Bobby Bone Show. Everybody roll?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If I went home and told my wife, hey, my job is requiring me to watch OnlyFans, I think she go, I don't think that's true.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a story says things just got harder for IRS agents. This is from Medialite. Some of the agents will now have to watch OnlyFans to make sure that they don't count as pornographic under a new tax law. So their job will be to watch OnlyFans. The issue comes from the no tax on tips law that was part of the act that went through and says any tips from prostitution don't qualify for the deduction. So these IRS agents have to watch to make sure that's not happening. And I'm telling you, if I went and said, yeah, we got some news for you. I know I've been at the IRS for 11 years, and at times my job has been unfulfilling, and I've talked about leaving, but you're never going to guess what they have me doing now. I think she'd say it's time to leave the job. I don't think. I don't think she. Irs.

[Eddie]

Oh, irs, you're done.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think she would like that. But, yeah, that's going to be part of what the new irs, some of these guys are going to do.

[Eddie]

You think you have, like, a chance to talk to your boss and be like, can I check with my wife first?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you have to ask before your job gives you the task. That's such a weird thing, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The IRS audits someone claiming the tips deduction, which is capped at $25,000. An agent will have to look at the content, watch the content and decide based on what they see if it is considered pornographic. And a lot of that only fans is. That's what they. That's. That's it.

[Eddie]

I bet there are some employees, they're like, I'll do it.

[Lunchbox]

Heck, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a college professor that everybody signs up for immediately. Yeah, you try to get in Mr. Johnson's 9:00am because, you know, he's really easy. There's a new poll that says people, and they give the percentage people asleep with their phones. And so your phone, Eddie, when you sleep, is where?

[Eddie]

On the side, like by the lamp.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you. Can you reach it from your bed?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I can. I can roll over and reach it.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's on your nightstand? Yeah.

I think probably about half the time, mine's under my pillow.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, because if for some reason, my alarm does go off, which I'm often awake before, my alarm goes off, 90% of the time, I definitely want that alarm to be muffled so my wife, who is pregnant, is not woken up by the alarm.

[Eddie]

Oh, so it's purposely under your pillow, not that it slipped under your pillow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it doesn't slip under the pillow, nor do I put it there for the tooth fairy or anything like that. But my phone goes underneath the pillow a lot of the time, especially because I wake up three or four times in the morning. But most people, it is. When you go to sleep, where do you leave your smartphone? On my bed next to me. 20%. So people will put it on their bed. That's number. That's number two. Directly next to my bed, which is a nightstand. 53%. And I think most of mine is on the nightstand. But I'll tell you, the phones now have such a good charging rate. Like, you can charge your phone pretty quick. Yeah. And then you don't have to leave it charged, which allows you to put it under your pillow. For those needing a little hack, Morgan.

[Eddie]

Was even telling me it's dangerous to, like, leave it charged for a while.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It's not dangerous.

[Morgan]

It's bad for the device.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's sort of bad for the device. It burns out a little faster. But you know what's going to burn it out faster is when they upgrade the phone. A new iOS and they kill your battery. That's even. Yes. Next up is somewhere else in my bedroom. I can't imagine not having my phone within arm's reach, though. Like, some people will put it out of arm's reach, so they're not on it as much. But if someone calls or the. If the alarm goes off. Yeah, you got to get up out of bed. Have you ever seen those alarm clocks that have, like, the little. Well, they look like drones. And so when the alarm clock goes off, which are a thing of the past, by the way, alarm clocks. I know people still have them, but how many people buy an alarm clock now? That's. There have got to be alarm clock manufacturing centers that have gone out of business.

[Eddie]

Well, my kids still use them because they don't have phones like the little ones, like kids.

[Bobby Bones]

And then people who are still hanging on at hotels. Yeah, hotels for sure. But the, they would have these little spinny things and is when the alarm would go off, they would spin up like little drones and they would land in the room. But you'd have to get up out of bed, get out to turn them off because people would just snooze.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but that's, that's going to ruin your day.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, well, that's the point.

[Eddie]

That ruins your morning already.

[Bobby Bones]

But people would just snooze if they could hit it, and that wouldn't allow them to hit it because it had now spun off into a different part of the room.

[Eddie]

Can you imagine how upset you would be looking for that thing?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I think, you know that you're not a good wake up person if you have one. Like, you know, that's the means in another room. 11% of people keep their phone in another room. Who does? What kind of psycho keeps their phone in another room? So that's from YouGov. We also will grab your calls if you guys want to hop in. 877-77-Bobby. That is our phone number. If you guys want to jump in. 87777. Bobby. I do want to go over now. Talk to Dave in Colorado. Dave, welcome to the show. What's up, buddy?

[Caller]

Good morning. Mr. Bones in studio.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, buddy?

[Caller]

Hey.

I just wanted to give you my tip on the whole loan and money thing. So I kind of came up with a principle. I don't know, probably a decade or so ago, I never loan anybody money. I give them money. If they give it back, I'll do it again when they're in need. But that if you change your mindset, there's never the bad blood of somebody didn't pay you back, regardless of how much it is. And I mean, it saves friendships and family members. Is that simple mindset change?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. For me, it's always been if you loan money to a family member or a very, very close friend that's like a family member, you have the expectation you're not going to get it back. If you do, that's great. But there are people, though, that I would say I'm semi close with or that I've loaned money to. I had the intention of getting that money back, but there's also people I would never loan money to. So it's kind of three levels. Level one, I'm, I'll loan it to you. If you're like, hey, can I borrow, you know, 80 bucks? I think that was the magic number. Can I borrow 80 bucks? Yep, you got it. But I know we're level one. I might not get it back, but in my head, I'm not gonna be affected by that. Level two, you want to borrow 80 bucks. Okay, let's say Raymundo wanted to borrow 80 bucks. I'm not related to Raymundo, but I would let Raymundo borrow 80 bucks. But I'm gonna expect the money back from Raymundo, and if he doesn't give it back to me, I'm gonna be irritated. No interest, though. That's nice, right? Yeah. I mean, that's probably better than anybody.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Else in the room.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't see lunch giving me $80. So if I loan money the lunchbox, I'm not gonna loan money to lunchbox because he doesn't pay things.

[Eddie]

You're not gonna get that back.

[Lunchbox]

I've never asked for money.

[Bobby Bones]

There's three levels there. But I hear you, Dave. I think if you can afford it, that's great.

[Eddie]

You can't tell people that, though, cuz, like.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can't tell. No, I know. I know.

[Eddie]

That's just gonna be like, Dave's gonna give me money.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa, Dave. I think it means me.

[Eddie]

I don't want you to.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's kind of. That's kind of something you don't want to share. Like, if you're my level one, I don't expect it back because level ones may not give it back. Yeah, hit us up, guys. We'd love to talk to you. 8, 7. 7. 77. Bobby, get your phones on.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Get your Bobby bones on, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys want to be offended or no? What kind of moodie in.

[Eddie]

Not really, but okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Aiden.

[Caller]

Hi.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, buddy? We're ready.

[Lunchbox]

Morning, studio.

[Bobby Bones]

Morning.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, we've braced ourselves. Aiden, go ahead.

[Caller]

Okay. So me and my friend listen to. Listen to you guys, like, every day during work. And the other day, we heard. We heard you guys say, like. Like it was a question, like, what year did the astronauts touch down the moon? And you guys said, like, six, seven. And I've heard, like, like, other kind of, like, remarks like that. So I was just wondering how you guys, like, keep up with the, like, the lingo, like, the younger kids. What the younger kids say.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that is not near as offensive as what. What it said on the screen when I saw Abby. He said, no offense, you're a little older. How do you keep up with younger things? That's what's on my screen.

I don't know. We talked about six, seven. We. I don't know that we've ever done the six seven.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I think my thing with six seven is that is such a safe. I get where it's annoying, but it's so safe because it doesn't actually mean anything. Where when we were kids, we. Because we were. I was a 90s kid, like 69 was a thing. And that meant something that dirty. Yeah, like we had lots of like swing. We had lots of sayings that were always in nature a little dirty. We didn't make them up. But that was what called even something like, hey, that sucks.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like all that was rooted in things that are dirty. And so it just became normal kid vernacular with six, seven. I get it. It's annoying. And everybody goes crazy about it. I was like, how wholesome is it that it doesn't mean anything? Like you kind of don't mind other than kids are saying it all the time. So that was what, that I don't have kids. And so, you know, my job for the most part is just watch TikTok and then do the show. So I think if anything, I don't say a lot of the stuff kids say purposefully. I get it. I'm too old. I wear cardigans every day to work. But I do work in the entertainment space and I think that's kind of kept me a bit younger. I think I have a bit of Peter Pan as well in me. Yeah, I'm going to have a kid very soon, unless I've already had it. So I think that probably changes it. But I think they're probably. There are two things. There's that with me. I've never had a kid, but Eddie has like teenagers and that probably brings a little bit back to you because they're doing it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. And then, then the teenager shows the little ones and they're all doing it. Like the other day we were watching football and the score was literally 6, 7, and they're all like, oh, 6, 7, they start doing it. So, I mean. Yeah, it's all over my house, all those words.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's it. So, Aiden, I know to you we're ancient. How old are you, Aiden?

[Caller]

Oh, I didn't say that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you did. Because I said no offense. You have no. But that's okay. How old are you?

[Caller]

I'm 17.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you have a job. Good for you. What do you. What kind of job you have?

[Caller]

Yeah, I do carpentry and like drywall stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dude, that's awesome. You know what? AI ain't replacing that.

[Eddie]

Not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it ain't you got that? Takes hands. Not in our lifetime. Those robots are forever away. Aiden, I appreciate you listening, man. Thanks for the call. Yeah.

[Caller]

Thank you, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you later. I want to go to Brad in Pittsburgh, if you don't mind. Down there on six, please. Brad, you're on. What's up, buddy?

[Caller]

Hey, what's up, studio?

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, man?

[Caller]

Hey, Bobby, you're. You're guilty of a spoiler alert. You gave up the winner of the Special Forces show, and not a lot of people have caught that yet.

[Bobby Bones]

I would disagree a bit because I'm seeing a lot of press from the winners, talking about them winning. That's kind of an event show. Like, once there.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we've talked about that. Sports events, and this wasn't live. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But when you see the person doing all the interviews talking about how they won, I just don't feel like that's a.

I don't feel like that's a spoilable show. Your thoughts, Eddie?

[Eddie]

I mean, it's not. I mean, I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

And I waited days.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike]

And it's.

[Eddie]

I don't know. The only thing I would say, though, is that it's not like a game that everyone's talking about. It's. There's like a. What do you call it? A niche audience that watches that. Not everyone is talking about that. So I would say that maybe I.

[Bobby Bones]

Feel like it's a competition show. There's no. There's no spoiling a competition show when there's a mate. When that's like a major event around the night. And also when they're doing press, you don't see people doing interviews about finales of TV shows giving up the. Here's the murderer doing an interview at the. On the last episode of Mad Men.

[Eddie]

What about, like, Dancing with the Stars.

[Bobby Bones]

Live event, competition deal. Yeah. Survivor, when it happens. Also, we didn't do it the next morning. I don't know. I stand by. That's not really a spoiler alert because they were doing promo with the person saying she won.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, your thoughts?

[Morgan]

I don't know that live shows can be spoiled.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I think, well, this isn't live to be fair.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But it's. It's created as it is to be watched in that moment. So that's where I refer to it as live. It's like a. I watch football.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Morgan]

And if you. The next day somebody's like, well, the Cowboys won. Is that a spoiler? I don't know. I just feel like there's a lot of things that we could call spoilers, and we kind of have to define what spoilers mean, and this isn't one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. To me, if the person is doing press as the winner of the show randomly on all the social media channels and podcasts going, yeah, I won the show.

The show is spoiling itself. So I hear you. I understand why you'd say that.

I'm not sorry, but I understand why you would say that.

[Morgan]

I also think, as a consumer, if you haven't watched something, like, if there's a season finale of something and I haven't watched it, I'm staying off social media or I'm not listening to things until I get to watch that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry that I maybe ruined it for you, Brad, but I don't think I'm against my principle here of spoilers, but I understand why you would say that. So can we come to the conclusion that we can still be friends but disagree on it a little bit?

[Caller]

Yeah, I agree to disagree.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, good, good, good.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I appreciate that. Hey, what'd you think of the season?

[Caller]

I. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to catch all of it yet. That's why I was like, oh, okay, well, I guess I don't have to watch the last two shows. I mean, who wins?

[Bobby Bones]

Great. Great point. Also, I'm thinking about this. In the headline of news articles, they write who won.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so? So I've seen some of them where they say spoiler in, like, parentheses. I've seen that it tells people not to read it, but so do we.

[Morgan]

Just have to say spoiler to everything now?

[Eddie]

I mean, everything's too much.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like tipping. Like, really, we gotta tip everywhere.

[Eddie]

It's too much.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I hear Brad. I completely understand. I'll be a little more sensitive about that. I'm glad you called and put me onto it. I probably could have been a little more sensitive. Yep. Nope.

[Eddie]

He says, yep.

[Bobby Bones]

But in the last episode, they, like, bury them alive. Whoa, dude. That's like. No, it's one of the.

[Eddie]

He hasn't seen it yet, but it's.

[Bobby Bones]

One of the things they show in the commercial. They show. You knew going into the commercial who were the last people left, too. Okay, thank you, Brad. Have a great day, man.

[Caller]

All right, you too, you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you later. Let's go to Cassie.

Cassie in Idaho. Cassie, you're on.

[Caller]

Hey, good morning, studio.

[Bobby Bones]

Morning.

[Caller]

So I have a story about my son's boss or my My boss's son is literally the most important or impossible, like 18 year old to wake up. And they've tried.

So many different things and they found this bracelet. It's like a metal bracelet he puts around his wrist. And she can shock him.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my goodness.

[Caller]

From an app on her phone.

[Eddie]

Let's go.

[Caller]

And so.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

Go ahead. I'm sorry.

[Caller]

She'll be at work and she'll call him and call him and call him, and he's not waking up. He's not getting ready for school or work or wherever he's going. And she pulls up the app and shocks him. And then recently, like over the last couple of weeks, he's actually woken up before his alarm because he doesn't want to be shocked.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing I would worry about, though, is abuse of that app. If mom's just annoyed at me at 3pm but I forgot to pick something up at the store.

But, yeah, that's funny. I didn't know that existed. Oh, I appreciate the call, Cassie. Hope you have a great day.

[Caller]

Yep.

[Mike]

All right, thanks.

[Caller]

You too.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go to one more call. Aaron in Oklahoma, who's on the show. Aaron, you're on.

[Caller]

Morning, Studio.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Caller]

Hey, Bobby. I was just calling because my husband and I are longtime Oklahoma State University fans. We both work there. It's our alma mater. So first of all, we feel your pain with losing. Yeah, we are really good at losing, and it sucks real bad. It's been a tough decade, so there's that. But my daughter Ella is in the car with me and we're on the way to Fayetteville, Arkansas, because she's doing a college visit to the University of Arkansas and she's trying to decide. Yeah, she's trying to decide between Oklahoma State and University of Arkansas. Well, got some. Pretty good. Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I was gonna say, what is she trying to study?

[Caller]

Well, she's not quite sure. She's thinking about communications, maybe sports media, something along those lines. She's a really good writer. She's really strong at writing and she's good at talking. So. But anyway, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I think both schools are great. How far away do you live from both schools?

[Caller]

So we live in Stillwater.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so wait, that's home. So, okay, she's got to go to Arkansas.

[Caller]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because, listen, I'm very biased toward Arkansas, so I didn't just yell Arkansas, but Oklahoma State's in Stillwater. You don't want to go to college where you live because you'll. It'll be Hard to mature if the washer and dryer is right down the road at your mom and dad's house. So if it's even now, if she just loves Oklahoma State and that's been her thing, go. That's awesome. Obviously, I'm biased. University of Arkansas, however, that being said, you're close enough. If you go to Fayetteville and this can be anywhere, this could be Ohio State, this can be wherever you go to school. You need about at least an hour and 15 minute buffer. So it doesn't feel like you can just go home on a whim, because if you can do that, you'll be home on a whim all the time and it'll be hard to graduate to the next level of your life. So. And it's further than that from Arkansas to Stillwater, I think it's three hours or so, which is the perfect amount, because if you need to get home, you can. But it's annoying to drive home, so you don't. So that it, that's, that's what I say about going to school, especially to go to a major school, like a massive school. If you're gonna go to a community college that's nearby because your grades weren't right or you can't afford it right now, do that. So you can go to whatever school you want. But if you're gonna go and you want the real college experience, you want to grow as a human being, don't. Don't go to school really close to where you grew up, because you will always be right back to where you grew up. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. How do you feel about that, Erin?

[Caller]

You're, you're not helping my husband and I's case at all, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's probably why, because you want her very close, and I understand that as a parent, but as once I was a kid, believe it or not, and I think you need to have that buffer. So it's harder to go home. Because if it's harder to go home, you have to learn to be an adult without mommy and daddy with you. So I'm sure you guys are loving, amazing parents. And if you called me and said, hey, we're thinking about going to Sacramento State or San Francisco, I'd be like, okay, where do you live? I want to hear how close you are. I think that's a big part of it. But, but also whoopig. For sure. I'm big Arkansas fan. But yes.

[Caller]

Yeah, she, she gets free tuition at OSU because we both work there.

[Eddie]

Oh, oh, man, that's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but. Yeah, man, that. Okay, but can you afford to send her to Arkansas?

[Caller]

Well, she's a really good student, so she got the. It's like a 90% out of state tuition waiver.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then you just guilted us and you.

[Eddie]

Out of state tuition waiver? Yeah, that's just the. Out of state. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That means she just has to pay 10%.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it means she's got to pay 90% of the. Out of state's gone. Right, but still the full tuition. Oh, no. Now you got money. Okay, here's my final answer on this. If it is not to your financial detriment and you can afford it.

I would recommend she go more than 30 minutes away, more than an hour away. That being said.

I wouldn't take out loans. I don't think taking out loans is worth it anymore unless you're gonna go get a degree that is super specific to a super school. Listen, I went to school, went to high school as first kid to graduate high school in my family. First kid to go to college, graduate college in my family for sure. And to me it was a big deal because nobody had ever done it. But I think now taking out loans, I don't think college. I think college is less valuable than it's ever been. Generally speaking, I think it's as valuable in some areas. But generally speaking, I wouldn't take out loans because they're the, the, the college system now, the loans, it's predatory. Even. So anyway, I don't know. You got. Now I'm back to zero, Aaron. You got to figure it out.

[Eddie]

You guys figure it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm just saying, for. For her sake, I think it's better to go more than an hour away.

[Caller]

Well, yeah, yeah, she's. I think that that's kind of what she wants to do. We're just trying to figure out the difference between the free tuition and what we would pay. And we have a son in college up in Wichita too, so we're paying for him to go, and then next year hit her to go. So we're just trying to figure it out, but I. I thought I would just see, you know, I'm very passionate about what your thoughts were.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, thank you for the call. Good luck today. It's signing day, by the way. Oh, today is not for all students, for people signing for the Race Back football team, just in case you guys are wondering. Okay, thanks, Aaron. Let me know what you decide. Okay.

[Caller]

Okay. Love your show. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what's become attractive to me? And it's because I've self corrected and.

[Caller]

I guess I detoxified myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Accountability, like it has become mad attractive. So attractive to me and everything else in between. I've told my most embarrassing moment on this podcast before, which was me taking a in a Ziploc bag.

[Eddie]

So listen to Ellis Ever after on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, voicemails give me number one.

[Caller]

Bobby was talking about having a couple different roles on Nashville. I noticed that Nashville is on Netflix now. And so, Bobby, I wondered if you had gotten an extra residual payment or how that worked. When a streaming service buys a show that has already been on a network. Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

I've gotten no money, although I don't know, I might have. I don't know, I don't get my bills. I have a business manager. Is there anyone you can ask my business manager? But I'm sure it'd be so little, I don't know. And it's not residual so much from streaming services because what would happen is shows would get syndicated back in the day and that means I would continue to sell it to local television stations. Like Friends could be on a Fox affiliate in Massachusetts, in Boston and in Minnesota, it could be on an NBC affiliate because they would sell it. And so because they're selling it, then they're paying the residuals from that show going into syndication. Now once a streaming service buys something, it's just kind of a flat fee and it has it now. When it's an old show, it's probably a little different, but I don't know if I got any. I don't think so.

[Eddie]

Are you able to negotiate who's. Who's like when you're. When you're an actor?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so take me out of it because I'm not an actor.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, you know, you get asked to play a role, right? Like, I assume if you're Brad Pitt and you're going to be the lead in a movie. Yes. You negotiate like, all right, what's the deal? You gonna pay me up front? Am I gonna get residuals? Whatever. But if you're just like, like you guys, like Lunchbox did an extra on Friday Night Live.

[Bobby Bones]

An extra gets. No, you don't even get to negotiate.

[Eddie]

But if you have a speaking role, you do.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't really have a lot of leverage. In a negotiation, it's all about leverage. You don't really have the leverage. And if you go on, like in one of the episodes of Nashville, I had like five lines with Connie Britton. And if I went and said, you know, guys, I don't really feel like my deal is adequate, I think they would go, your five lines aren't worth us going to legal over this. We're just going to get somebody else. Yeah, but you can, like, in a movie, you can negotiate back end, meaning, let's say you're going to get your $15 million, but you want a percentage of the movie after it's made its money back. Like they do that type of negotiation.

[Eddie]

And that's risky, Right. Because if your movie doesn't do well.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's you. A lot of times people will do it if the movie doesn't have, like all the funding.

[Eddie]

So you'll take a little less to make it. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So they have that money.

[Mike]

Did for. Yeah, he didn't take a salary, just took money on the back end. But he still made $65 million.

[Eddie]

Who's that?

[Mike]

Thomas?

[Eddie]

Oh, well, yeah, for sc, that was a good move.

[Bobby Bones]

But he got paid nothing.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but now he's getting paid a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you don't know that.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

He had to believe in that project. But most people don't take nothing. They just as part of their deal, they get back in, like a revenue share off the profit. But you can't really negotiate it if you're not like somebody they want to.

[Eddie]

Five lines.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Mike]

No, no. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't have an answer. I don't think I've been paid for that.

But if I did, it's like 20 bucks. So that's what's up next. Voicemail.

[Caller]

Hey, funny story on baby names. When I was born, my parents couldn't decide to name me Tiffany or Jennifer. And so they put on my birth certificate Baby Girl Day, which last name at the time for my legal name until I was 21. Was on my birth certificate was Baby Girl Day. They ended up going with Tiffany when I was about 18 months old, but I was legally Baby girl day for 21 years. Have a good day.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the story. There's a couple things in that that are pretty funny. Number one is they never changed the name of the birth certificate. That's hilarious.

[Eddie]

Never got to it.

[Bobby Bones]

Her legal name was Baby Girl Day. The other part of this, the headline that was buried, is they finally went to her as a name at 18 months. So the first 17 months, baby girl. Dick. You're over one. You should have a name at that point.

[Eddie]

You should. Like their first birthday when they sang, what did they say on the song?

[Bobby Bones]

They do that. Happy Birthday.

They ended up going with Tiffany when I was 18 months old.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all. To not have a name for a kid, that's. That's crazy. All right, next up, next one, please. Your parents or your mom passed away.

[Caller]

And Amy's parents passed away. But do you still have their number in your phone?

[Bobby Bones]

My dad died last year.

[Caller]

I don't think I'm going to take.

[Bobby Bones]

It out of my phone.

[Caller]

Just saw it in my favorites recently and was thinking about it or seeing.

[Bobby Bones]

When you guys, or if you ever did anyway, let me know. Amy had to leave, so she's not here to answer that question on her part. I do not have my mom's cell phone number in my phone because she never had a consistent cell phone number. It was always like, her figuring out stuff, getting a new phone burner, not a burner to commit crimes. But she didn't have great credit, so. No. And I don't know that I would have moved it over if I did. Eddie, your dad died more recently than my mom. Do you keep his number in your phone?

[Eddie]

A little over a year ago, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

His number's still in there because you'd have to go and delete it from yours.

[Eddie]

I'm not gonna do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Right? Yeah. That feel weird. I did keep a voicemail from her for a while, and it stayed in my voicemails. And then it was like, you can save all this to a disc or something. Or not. Maybe not a disc, but like a hard drive. And I didn't and save it.

[Eddie]

How often were you listening to that?

[Bobby Bones]

None.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's really weird, like, still, what's. I mean, you know, your mom died a long time ago, but my dad, like, he still pops up in, like, memory pictures on my phone all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

He died in the last two Years, all the time.

[Eddie]

It just pops up, you know, so it's kind of hard to like, move on from that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's always weird stuff that triggers, like, the memories. That'd be tough. Cause that is on the nose. Like, here's a picture of your dad that died. Like, that's right on the nose. But it's weird because there are certain things that just happen. Like something on a commercial, a dog or something. You're like, it brings back a memory. And then if you have the capacity in that time to like follow that memory, next thing you know, you're back in it. Yeah, but it's always something very random.

But the picture. Yeah, I don't really have that. My sister, sometimes I don't. I'm not on Facebook, I guess I have an account, like a personal account. I think I have like 12 friends, so I don't usually use it, but I have an account because I have to log into stuff and I'll check it occasionally, just see what my sister's up to. And sometimes she'll post like pictures of my mom from back in the day because it pops up on her feed. But yeah, no, I didn't. I don't have my mom's cell because she never had one. Amy probably doesn't either, but yours makes more sense because your didn't happen. Your dad died pretty recently.

[Eddie]

Not long ago.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's go around the room. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. There was a break in at a liquor store. Came in, smashed a bunch of bottles, liquor all over the floor. Then they found the culprit passed out in the bathroom. It was a raccoon.

[Eddie]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw that he was passed out.

[Lunchbox]

Passed out. It's so funny. It reminded me of like a college and post college when you give dogs beer, which is probably really bad, but you know. Oh, you have a beer. We thought it was so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

You give dogs beer?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Reminds me of Guardians of the Galaxy. The raccoon. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We never gave dogs beer. Although I wasn't a beer person. I wasn't around beer. Really?

[Lunchbox]

Didn't you, Eddie, like if your friends at a party had a beer?

[Eddie]

We had a Chihuahua. And see. Yeah. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Eddie]

A bottle, cap of beer and she would like, tip over.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you do that? Did you stoop in college?

[Eddie]

No, we were just dumb. Dude. It was me and my brother. We're just dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

The raccoon. I looked at it drunk in that bathroom. It looks like you were to walk in. It's a dead. It looks Like a dead raccoon?

[Eddie]

Yes. Yes. So I guess the raccoon, like, broke the bottles and then started drinking.

[Bobby Bones]

The raccoon went crazy then probably licking it off the ground.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Did you guys see that? Raccoons are gonna be like, the next domesticated animal.

[Eddie]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Says who?

[Morgan]

The trend is going that way. Cause they're becoming.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't stop that trend.

[Lunchbox]

That's so dope.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop that trend.

[Morgan]

They're becoming more friendly with people, and people are feeding them. So it's like the same kind of domestication process that there was one, like.

[Eddie]

Five or six years ago that came to my back door. And if I would have just left the door open, they would have just come in. My wife's like, no, do not let it come in. But I was tempted to be like, why not? He looks friendly.

[Bobby Bones]

We had a lot of raccoons. They are very dirty. They have lots of bacteria.

[Eddie]

They're so cute, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Bad. They're garbage animals.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they love garbage.

[Bobby Bones]

Nighttime, if you see the little lies, it's bunch of raccoons up in your garbage.

[Morgan]

All right, Morgan, there's this army veteran named ed Bombas. He's 88 years old, and he works full time at this supermarket in Michigan. And an influencer named Sam kind of goes around doing really good things. And he showed up talking to this guy, and he had shared that he has to work five days. He had to come out of retirement to do it because he had to pay his wife's, like, medical bills and all this stuff. And super crazy. He literally, the influencer just bought a bottle of water and tipped him $400. But then he. Which was super cool.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Morgan]

But then he went online and created a GoFundMe account, and the Internet rallied together. You guys wanna guess how much the Internet ran?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I hate doing this. Cause I'm gonna guess way more. And then when you say it's lower, it's still a significant amount, but then it takes the steam out of it. So I'm gonna do this. $1,000.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot. That's a lot.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Morgan]

But it's much higher than that.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank God.

[Morgan]

Yeah. The Internet rallied and came together for $1 million.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't have guessed a million.

[Morgan]

I think as of this morning, too, it was at 1.18 million.

[Bobby Bones]

To help his wife with medical bills.

[Morgan]

Yeah, like. Cause he had all these. And he hasn't been able to pay a lot. He hasn't even been able to get a house after it. And she's since passed, so he's just trying to pay off medical bills and work, and he's 88 years old.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you think, Eddie?

[Eddie]

Why'd you go, dude, that's just a lot of money. I mean, a lot of people coming together to support.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so it's a positive dude.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, a million dollars. Yeah. And I'm sure he needs it, but.

[Lunchbox]

But does he need a million?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, who knows what he needs?

[Eddie]

He's 88. Not a million medical bills right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Right now. Oh, yeah, for sure. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Yeah. $1.25 million.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Eddie]

So if you're this guy, like, William.

[Bobby Bones]

Agman, top donation, $10,000.

[Morgan]

Like, that gave me goosebumps. I have goosebumps right now.

[Eddie]

But if you're this guy and you, like, get all the money, right, and you pay off everything that you owe, all your medical bills, you got, like, 750 grand left. Can you buy a Ferrari?

[Bobby Bones]

You can. Like, it's. Your money wasn't given with.

[Eddie]

That's a great point.

[Lunchbox]

Like, are you allowed to buy, like, fancy stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

You can't afford a yacht with that, but you can buy whatever you want. It's your money.

[Mike]

Dang.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Lunchbox]

But also, you got to think maybe this going to work kept him alive because he's 88. You know, if he's just sitting at home by himself.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now that's just speculation.

[Eddie]

He might still work.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's how much some of these people have donated. The top donors. William Ackman, who I'm not sure if he even knows a guy, donated $10,000. Blake Murray donated $5,000. Hassi Harrison, 3,500. Joseph Henderson. 3,000 people are donating thousands of dollars.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you. This might make me sound like a bad person.

[Eddie]

Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't think this makes me sound like a bad person, and I hope it doesn't make me sound hypocritical. Okay. Mm. So there I saw on Twitter, and I don't really know the guy. I just follow him on Twitter because he does, like, Arkansas sports reporting. His name on Twitter is Jackson Collier. And Jackson had put up a. It wasn't a GoFundMe, but it was one of those type, and he's like, hey, I'm raising money for prostate cancer. Whatever. He doesn't have it, but it's like. It's like no shave November. And he's like, I'm trying to raise, like, 3,500 bucks or whatever. So I saw it. Don't know him, but I donated 500 bucks to the page, right? And so I donate it, and it goes through, and then he goes, would you like to tip the site? I'm like, I don't know the site. Like, it's not a. It's. That's not a living organism. The site.

[Eddie]

What site? The GoFundMe site or the actual.

[Bobby Bones]

The site. I also don't donate to Wikipedia, and I use it all the time. And they're like, hey, can you spare a dollar fifty for Wikipedia? Yeah, I use the crap out of Wikipedia. I never pay for a dang thing. So I did not tip the site because that, to me, just feels like I'm throwing money at a computer. Like, it. I am my robot.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Doesn't the site take some money?

[Bobby Bones]

Some don't. If they're, like, raising money for, like.

[Morgan]

A good cause, I think GoFundMe, I think the reason why, because I saw this, too, and it made me investigate. And I think they do it because they don't charge anything. But at that point, I just say, like, charge $5 for every donation or something, and then you don't have to have 10 tips or whatever, like a credit card fee.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to find what the site is, and, Mike, I want to look up this site specifically. But I did feel a bit hypocritical because it was. I paid the 500, and then I was like, all right, cool. Hope that helps them. Oh, do I want to add a tip for the site?

[Eddie]

The site.

[Bobby Bones]

If they had showed, like, a person who's, like, building the X's, the ones and two, zeros and ones, whatever.

[Eddie]

This is Billy. He created the site.

[Bobby Bones]

Billy could really use some Christmas cheer. I think I'd have thrown 20 bucks.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that is weird. That's kind of weird.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's just.

Do you see it, Mike? Not seeing the link now it's down, because when I saw it, I saw it, like, yesterday or the day before when I did it. But Twitter kind of sucks because nothing's live on Twitter. It just kind of feeds you random crap. If you keep scrolling down, you'll see it. I think there's a picture of his face with, like, a little bit of hair, and he's like, dude, I'm doing no shave November. I don't so much care about that. But then he was like, here's why I. And I was like, oh, okay. If you, like, I'm motivated. I'll donate. Here it is. I Got it. The site is donor perfect. You ever heard of that one?

[Eddie]

Nope.

[Lunchbox]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's got 2,200 of his $5,000 goal.

[Eddie]

And you don't know the guy, But.

[Bobby Bones]

I never met him personally.

[Eddie]

You don't know him?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I like. We have. I mean, he looks young, too.

[Eddie]

He does look young.

[Bobby Bones]

And he wrote it's no shave November, which means once again, I'm shaving to. I'm not shaving to raise money and awareness for men's health. We raised a lot of money last year. I think each of you donated. This goal is a bit larger, but the message and the impact is the same. Prostate cancer is dangerous, but it's treated. I once again. And then he talks about how it's affected him. I don't know if that my story to show there, but. What do they take?

[Mike]

Any looks like they do.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're trying to get me double.

[Eddie]

So they take a fee and they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Trying to get me on the front and the backside.

It doesn't matter. But yeah, if you guys want to help this dude out, 10 bucks at a time.

[Eddie]

So are all the no shave November.

[Bobby Bones]

Processing fees on donations? Okay, so there's his only donation base. I didn't know. I didn't. I didn't donate to the website.

[Eddie]

The people that grow their mustaches.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to hell.

[Eddie]

You're good.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Eddie]

The people that grow their mustaches, they're also raising money. They're not just growing their mustaches.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you can do both. I think the original idea, though, is because you can also dump a bucket of ice on anybody too.

[Eddie]

Yes. That's for what?

[Bobby Bones]

ALS Ice bucket Challenge. Yeah, I think that became a thing, but originally it was to raise money. Then I think it was just to raise awareness. People just do it for awareness. So you could do it for both. But his was raising money.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

We throw the link up. Is our Facebook stream up? Can we throw it? Can you send Morgan the link.

[Lunchbox]

To the old man or the other guy?

[Bobby Bones]

No, the old man's good. He can buy yacht.

[Eddie]

Got a million, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy Jackson Collier needs 2,500 bucks to hit his goal. That'd be awesome. Little Christmas money there. Little Christmas cheer. Yeah, there you go. We can put it on Facebook. Watching right now.

[Morgan]

Yeah, we'll put it in the comments.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be awesome. If you guys did 10, 20 bucks or so. That'd be cool. All right, Ed, you do your story.

[Eddie]

No, I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Eddie]

Tell me about Chernobyl. I Never watched the documentary, so I don't know much about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Chernobyl. Was that facilitate the nuclear facility? Mm. There was it they in Europe in.

Hold on.

[Eddie]

I'm not testing you, by the way.

[Bobby Bones]

I really don't know country I've never been to.

[Eddie]

Russia.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

It looks cold from the pictures I see you.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it. You say it's got to be like Ukraine then. Is it like. It's right there. Is it Ukraine?

[Mike]

It's in Ukraine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it is in Ukraine. Like Ukraine proper can't pronounce where it is, so it feels like. But it's close to Russia because although they were cold.

[Eddie]

Yeah. The pictures I see is just snow everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

So wait, is Russia fighting at Chernobyl? Are they like fighting for that Chernobyl land? I might even be wrong about that.

It's at the very top of Ukraine, right by.

What is that near that other country?

[Mike]

I think that's all Russia above it. Russia's huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, what's that right above it? Right? Oh, Belarus. Belarus. Belarus, yeah, it's right by Belarus.

[Ryan Seacrest]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude. I got lucky with Ukraine. I'll be honest with you. It's just in that area.

[Eddie]

Okay, so what happened? Like, it was a big nuclear, big explosion.

[Bobby Bones]

They basically mismanaged it.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And it exploded and killed everybody.

[Eddie]

Okay, so that was a long time ago, 80s?

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

86. Wow.

[Eddie]

Okay, so. So.

[Bobby Bones]

So not that long ago.

[Eddie]

86.

[Bobby Bones]

Unless you're like 19, that feels like 100 years ago. But for us, we were alive, most of us.

[Eddie]

So what's crazy about this is that I was reading that there hasn't been any sign of life in. In that area at all for like a million years.

[Bobby Bones]

That stuff stays in the air.

[Eddie]

Yes. The radiation has killed all life. Wild an wildlife doesn't go near it. Whatever. There's a scientist that keeps going back to the site just to kind of research what it's done to everything. And they've found mold. They found like black mold that's actually feeding on the radiation. Where science is kind of freaking out over it because the fact that something living like mold is attracted, is attracting to the radiation. It's not like growing and then moving away from the radiation. It's growing towards the radiation.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're thinking it's probably created from the radiation as well. In the air.

[Eddie]

Oh, see, that's not what they're thinking. They're thinking it's just. It existed, but it's coming from the ground. And it's actually. I guess they've Always thought that that radiation killed life. Now they're thinking that maybe it doesn't kill all life and there is some kind of life that is actually feeding off radiation, which it could change everything. Everything.

[Bobby Bones]

What if it's like that super medicine that cures cancer?

[Eddie]

Correct. They're thinking this could be something.

[Bobby Bones]

But it could also be like a super radiation that kills everybody times 100.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or that turns us into zombies if we touch it. Like all dead people come alive again. It could be both of those.

[Eddie]

It could be anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask about that.

[Eddie]

I thought you'd find that a little interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. Hello. I'd like to ask a question about Chernobyl.

[Expert/Guest]

Hey there. Absolutely. Feel free to dive in with your Chernobyl question. I'm all ears and ready to chat about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie was just talking about a bacteria or what was it?

[Eddie]

Mold.

[Bobby Bones]

A mold that was found near Chernobyl. That's the first time they found any kind of living organism in that area. Can you give me more information on that?

[Expert/Guest]

Oh, yeah. That's actually a super interesting topic. So what Eddie's probably talking about is a type of fungus that they found in the Chernobyl reactor area that can actually thrive on radiation. It's called radiotropic fungus. Basically, these fungi use melanin, kind of like the same pigment we have in their skin. And they convert radiation into chemical energy, almost like how plants use sunlight. So it's a wild example of life adapting in a place we wouldn't expect.

[Bobby Bones]

Are there any ideas of what that could be used for positively that fungus?

[Expert/Guest]

Yeah, absolutely. It's actually a pretty fascinating area of research. Scientists have been looking into whether these radiation absorbing fungi could be used in a few different positive ways. One idea is that they could be used in environments with high radiation to help shield or protect.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I'm sorry. Keep going.

[Expert/Guest]

Oh, no worries at all. I was just going to say. Yeah, they're exploring some cool ideas like maybe using those fungi for radiation protection in space or even on Earth in high radiation environments. And some folks are even looking at whether the melanin from these fungi could have medical or biotechnological uses. So it's kind of a neat little example of how life can adapt and how we might use that adaptation in some clever ways.

[Bobby Bones]

What's crazy about that is that's something that they figure out. This is just an example like. And they do put in a spacecraft and the spacecraft. Spacecraft is able to get through these radiation belts.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because there is now a barrier that could keep the radiation from getting to the humans in there. That'd be kind of crazy, huh?

[Eddie]

That would be cool. Is that what's keeping us from getting to the moon? Radiation belts.

[Bobby Bones]

We've been to the moon. Don't be stupid.

[Eddie]

Just checking.

[Bobby Bones]

There is that. What's the Van Allen. But that belt, that's full of radiation.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot of people's argument as to why we've never been to the moon. Because again, we talked about in yesterday's show how crappy and old those spacecraft were. But yeah, radiation, that's a big part of it. But yeah, either that. Yeah, the Van Allen radiation belt. Either that or it's gonna kill us all. One of the two.

[Eddie]

I mean, life is pretty crazy like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that's kind of like a fungus is kinda the HBO series on the video game.

[Mike]

Oh, the Last of Us. That's what I thought of.

[Eddie]

Fungus.

[Bobby Bones]

Fungus turns people into zombies. Oh, well, we're celebrating the breakthrough.

[Eddie]

Lovely.

[Bobby Bones]

Little do we know in like a year we're gonna be fighting off friggin zombies. Holiday parties are coming up. If you drink carbonated beverages before you drink alcohol, you'll get drunk or faster. Did you get. Is this common knowledge?

[Eddie]

No.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't know that.

[Eddie]

I didn't know that.

[Lunchbox]

I just learned that.

[Eddie]

What about like a vodka soda while you're drinking that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't really have the answers.

[Eddie]

Well then I don't know why I'm asking.

[Lunchbox]

That has liquor in it, dude.

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, I know, but still there's.

[Bobby Bones]

Carbonate carbonation in the liquor. If the liquor is carbonated, does it work the same way?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Does it get you drunk faster?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, carbonated drinks make your body absorb alcohol quicker. This causes you to feel the effects a lot faster. Stronger than usual. So avoid. If they say if you just want to drink and get drunk at a normal level, do the juices and not the carbonated liquid. Although if I were drinking, I think I'd want to get drunk.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't that why you drink?

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, maybe you don't want to get really drunk that quick.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you drink though if you didn't want to like get drunk?

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Socially.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Social thing.

[Lunchbox]

Some of them just the taste of it is good.

[Bobby Bones]

I can be social. Yeah. Alcohol tastes good.

[Eddie]

Some of it. Like a pina colada. Yeah, I guess.

[Morgan]

Cocktails.

[Bobby Bones]

But even then, if I'm gonna do that, I want to get drunk.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Otherwise I'm not drinking.

[Eddie]

But you see, you're not their levels of drunk. Right. Like there is the. You never Been on an airplane and it's all quiet until they serve drinks. Then it starts turning into kind of a little cocktail hour and everyone's talking.

[Bobby Bones]

And yeah, I've been on airplane.

[Eddie]

There's that level of drunk of drinking, you know, the. You got the buzz and it's a good place to be. Then you get a little more drunk, you're a little crazy, you're a little louder. And then there's the, I can't function because I'm so drunk.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you like the first one?

[Eddie]

Just the buzz. I just like taking off the edge of whatever is awkward, you know, because once you have like a couple, like one beer, everyone's kind of like, hey, what's your name, man? Let's have small talk.

[Bobby Bones]

You do that without drinking.

[Eddie]

I know, I know, but everyone else kind of joins you when they do that.

[Mike]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it safe to leave Christmas tree lights on all night?

[Eddie]

No, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from Real Simple. Holiday lights may look magical, but they can be dangerous too. Experts say it's best to switch them off before going to bed. Modern LEDs are safer than old school incandescent bulbs. They can overheat or overload outlets if they run too long. For an easy upgrade, a smart plug can shut everything off. I kind of like it though. If it's night, I like it to be on because if I wake up in the middle of the night, I like to have the spirit.

[Eddie]

Same dude. You go down for a glass of water and it's like, ah, the tree's lit.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you never know, Santa gonna be around there. The younger generation detests the news media. That's from the Associated Press. I did watch a bunch of news last night. I say that, but I was just mostly just flicking through.

[Eddie]

Was it elections last night?

[Bobby Bones]

It was, yeah. Special elections. So I was watching that till pretty late last night.

[Eddie]

I opened Google or something. They're like election day. I'm like, what?

[Morgan]

Yeah, it was in one of my area, I guess the district. Different district.

[Bobby Bones]

You probably lived in that area. I don't live in that area. I was not in, but I was watching it very close. A Chinese man lives with a functional cigarette lighter in his stomach for 30 years. Stomach acid doesn't eat that up.

[Eddie]

Eventually I think it does. And did it have lighter fluid in it?

[Bobby Bones]

67 year old guy began experiencing abdominal bloating and pain about a month ago, but thought he just had gastroentinitis. He went to the hospital and they couldn't figure it out. His condition sounds like lunchbox they kept.

[Eddie]

Telling him to Google it.

[Bobby Bones]

They kept saying, not funny. Do some pelvic floor exercises. They kept sending him to YouTube. So they went and they performed an emergency.

Like stomach surgery. Doctors noticed a strange, smooth, blackened cuboid corroded by stomach acid deep in the man's stomach. However, attempts to remove it failed due to its smooth, slippery exterior. The medical team decided to postpone their removal of the object so they can investigate its nature and origin. Which when asked if he had any idea what it could be, he then remembered an incident.

[Eddie]

Ah, the lighter.

[Bobby Bones]

In the early 1990s, when after a night of drinking with some friends, he swallowed a plastic lighter as a dare. He had never told his family about it and always imagined the lighter had passed through a system a long time ago. Wow, you're digging deep in the memories for that one. Or you've always had a hunch that could be it. It's one of the two I. And then do you remember anything? Well, there is this time in the 90s, like, that doesn't. That doesn't happen like that.

[Eddie]

Right. And that's great. Like, you. You don't eat a lighter. Like, if I ate something, I would check every single time I go to the bathroom to see if it came out.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And this is like this big.

[Eddie]

A big old lighter.

[Bobby Bones]

Like if you make a C with your hand, that's the size of it. Just about. After confirming the foreign object with cigarette lighter, the medical team assessed the best removal method. Surgery was deemed too invasive. But the endoscopy also had a low chance of success because of the smooth texture. So they opted for a condom like technique, completely encasing the foreign object. Like basically putting a condom on it and then pulling it out. Wow. Oddity central safe surgery.

[Morgan]

Do you guys think you could swallow something like that? Because I can even swallow like little pills.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I know. I struggle with the pills too. No, I don't.

[Eddie]

Like, what a liar.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm pretty good at swallowing pills. I can dry swallow two, two or three at a time.

[Morgan]

No, I have to like, throw my head back to like, force myself to put something down my throat.

Don't make it weird.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the one doing the gestures over there. I didn't do anything. I did nothing.

[Morgan]

So do you think you could swallow a lighter?

[Eddie]

A lighter? No way, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, a lighter's big.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know, I get it.

[Eddie]

And that would hurt on the way down. That would hurt your throat.

[Bobby Bones]

I get it. I don't think there would be a dare that'd be worth swallowing It. If it's life or death, probably gun to my head. I could probably swallow lighter, but what's the guy swallowed on dare? Wait, what they were drinking?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably carbonated. Probably had some carbonation with Holiday party. Yeah. All right.

[Eddie]

X ray didn't catch that. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That, like, not the first one. Hey, was there a holiday work party?

[Morgan]

Yeah, last night.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you go?

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How late did you go?

[Morgan]

It was from 6 to 9. I left at like 8:30.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody else go?

[Lunchbox]

I did.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? Is it a.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, I just.

[Bobby Bones]

Where was it?

[Lunchbox]

It was at a restaurant downtown.

[Morgan]

This cool restaurant?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it was really cool. Good food.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't even know there was a holiday party.

[Eddie]

Really? No work emails?

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't checked my work email in three years.

[Lunchbox]

But there's a problem though.

[Mike]

What?

[Lunchbox]

I think Eddie owes the company some money.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

Because they wanted a headcount so they could pay per person. Eddie rsvp? Yes.

[Eddie]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Showed.

[Eddie]

Now, let me tell you about that. I didn't. I never RSVP'd. I got an email that said, we got your RSVP. And I'm like, I never RSVP'd. So somebody must have checked that for me. But I never personally said I was going to that party. I don't know how I got on that list.

[Bobby Bones]

Was I on the list?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see a list? A physical list has a list of.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody that was said rsvp and if they included their plus one.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you. Plus one?

[Mike]

Oh, I.

[Lunchbox]

Plus one.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you. Plus four?

[Lunchbox]

No, I couldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Plus five, I guess.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

Did you eat enough food and drink enough drink for me.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you take home?

[Lunchbox]

No, they wouldn't give you to go boxes. They had a dessert table left over.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, why do you laugh at that?

[Morgan]

There was one moment. So they were walking around with appetizers.

[Lunchbox]

They had a whole thing of sushi.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And he like went to reach for the whole plate like it was his. And I was like, lunchbox. That's everybody's. You can't take the plate.

[Lunchbox]

Cause the waiter walked up to me and said, sushi. And I was like, oh, yeah. And I thought he was giving me the plate, and so I went. And I was. And he goes, oh, just take one. I was like, oh, take one.

[Eddie]

It's one roll. One little roll.

[Lunchbox]

No, it was one of those long ones with sushi on. I don't know what you call it.

[Bobby Bones]

Sushi. Sushi roll.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, it wouldn't roll.

[Bobby Bones]

So then it was sashimi. Yeah, sashimi.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, thank You. I don't know. That's.

[Eddie]

Thank you, Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

I said it before sashimi.

[Eddie]

You said. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Then I just confirmed Bobby was right because I was there and I saw it.

[Eddie]

I didn't hear you. Sorry, dude. My bad.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't hear you.

[Eddie]

I think it's the low booming voice.

[Bobby Bones]

He's my high man now. I never know if you guys can hear Scuba, because sometimes he talks to me in my ears, and he's telling me something. If it's like a commercial over this something, whatever it is, do this pickup or something.

[Eddie]

You guys ever talk crap about us?

[Bobby Bones]

Right now he's talking to me without you guys hearing? No, because it's confusing because I never know if he's talking. Just a mirror to you guys.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So the party, though, Good? Great.

[Morgan]

It was really good. Everybody was dressed up. They had a little theme. You had to wear fur or blue or silvers.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on.

[Eddie]

Did you dress up Lunchbox?

[Morgan]

He was dressed up, guys.

[Eddie]

Blue and silver and velvet.

[Morgan]

No, he was in velvet.

[Lunchbox]

I had a velvet.

[Eddie]

What, like velvet what?

[Lunchbox]

A jacket?

[Eddie]

Red velvet.

[Bobby Bones]

How did you get a velvet jacket?

[Lunchbox]

I had it for him a couple years ago when I hosted the Folds of Honor Christmas event.

[Bobby Bones]

And you bought it back then?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I bought it back then. And I was like, oh, man. I had to go through Instagram, find the picture, find what outfit matched. Okay. That goes with that. So I just put it back on.

[Bobby Bones]

What people from the company. Were there any executives that we know?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like Rod and Gator? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Rod went.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Rod doesn't go to anything.

[Eddie]

He doesn't?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, with us.

[Lunchbox]

He goes to a party.

[Bobby Bones]

He's off.

[Morgan]

He loves a party.

[Bobby Bones]

He's often everywhere. That's true, huh? Yeah. They give gifts away or anything?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So what did you guys do, just eat and talk?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did Abby sing or anything?

[Lunchbox]

No, she didn't sing. She showed her ring off to everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good. Hey, Abby, are you doing the Christmas group again?

[Morgan]

I don't think so. This year I have too much going on. And like I said, if I commit to something, I want to be able to be there all the time. And it's like, every night.

[Lunchbox]

Sounds like she got fired.

[Morgan]

Plus, around Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get fired?

[Lunchbox]

Sounds like she got fired. Wasn't invited back.

[Morgan]

Rude. No, he asked me again. I just. I. I said no. I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Everybody good?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So you really didn't rsvp, huh?

[Eddie]

I really didn't.

[Lunchbox]

That's weird, because the sales girl last night was like, man, I was just talking To Eddie earlier, when he was sitting there with McKinney. He said he'd be there.

[Eddie]

No, I.

[Bobby Bones]

You even said you would be there.

[Eddie]

To somebody specifically said, I'm not going.

[Lunchbox]

She said, you were having. You were Hanging out with McKitty yesterday afternoon, Guy.

[Caller]

And you.

[Lunchbox]

She said, oh, so you're going to be at the party? He said, yeah, see you tonight.

[Eddie]

Or something like that. It's all lies. I said, probably not. Probably not. I'll be honest with you.

[Morgan]

I don't know how somebody RSVP'd for you, though.

[Eddie]

You were there, though, weren't you? You heard me say, I'm not going to the party.

[Morgan]

I did hear you say that, but I did see your name on the list.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you guys sat at dinner with a bunch of people from work for hours and found that to be enjoyable.

[Morgan]

It wasn't. You're just standing. It was like a cocktail hour vibe.

[Bobby Bones]

Even worse.

[Eddie]

That enjoyable.

[Morgan]

Yeah, it's fun. I like socializing.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not judging you. That just feels miserable.

[Morgan]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's awesome.

[Lunchbox]

I will say that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even that I dislike anybody.

[Lunchbox]

It was a lot better that we were able to have a plus one. Yeah, because then you literally are just talking to people from work that you just saw two hours ago.

[Eddie]

The plus ones weren't a thing of the past.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I just. That just doesn't sound like something. I don't like, really leaving the house. But then also I do occasionally like going to dinner with, like, close friends.

[Lunchbox]

But you got to think it's free food, free drinks.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm good. I'm good. I have plenty of food at home.

[Lunchbox]

No, not this kind of food. Man, this food was good.

[Eddie]

Just see me.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you go, Mike?

[Mike]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you want to go?

[Mike]

Maybe I missed that email.

[Eddie]

You didn't get it?

[Mike]

I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you hear about. I know you did. Eddie Morgan. Did you hear about Tyg and Daniel the wreck?

[Morgan]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Tyg and Daniel, friends of mine, friends of some of us here, they used to work on the radio station in the afternoon, and they went to Tulsa. They do a morning show in Tulsa. And so Daniel. Have you seen his car?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I saw it on Instagram. Dude, crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody hit him so hard. So it was him and his dog. Killed his dog?

[Eddie]

No, he loved his dog.

[Bobby Bones]

And not only that, he. He's, like, hurt. He's not, like, going to die or anything, but he's, like, hurt. Not terrible, but he's still, like, his bells wrong. I reached out to him last week and then I hit a tide yesterday or two days ago, and I was like, hey, like, what? Because it's hard if you ask somebody, hey, what can I do to help? That's such a generic question. Or, hey, let me know what I can do. Nobody ever hit you back. But I was like, hey, what does he need help doing?

[Mike]

Because.

[Bobby Bones]

Just let me know. And he's like, no, he's okay. But like, physically he's not the best right now. But it was totally like, he's destroyed because his dog died in the car wreck.

[Morgan]

I can't imagine you're getting injured in an accident and then you also have to deal with a grief of losing.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh, that car is smashed, man. My whole back was completely.

[Bobby Bones]

You see it, Michael? I did.

[Mike]

I listened to their whole segment.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they did a segment on it. Yeah.

[Mike]

Which was crazy to me to hear.

[Bobby Bones]

Was he on? Yes.

[Mike]

And he sounded just completely normal.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he kind of sounds like he's been a wreck anyway.

[Lunchbox]

You know, he's.

[Eddie]

Daniel.

[Lunchbox]

Daniel.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. What. What did they say?

[Mike]

I mean, Ty talking about him getting that call of Daniel being in an accident and him having to go to the scene. Like, they called him, like the police called him. Like, we need you to come down here. He thought he was going there to identify his body, basically.

[Lunchbox]

God dang.

[Morgan]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

They think he was dead.

[Mike]

Yeah. They didn't tell him what, like why he needed to go down there and he thought he was dead. And then he.

[Bobby Bones]

Because Daniel's not married or anything.

[Eddie]

No.

[Mike]

And then he had his. He had two dogs in the car. So his like, puppy survived and his older dog died. And then. Yeah, Tyke had to go deal with that too.

[Bobby Bones]

Daniel's on the air? Yeah. Is he on? Is he working every day now? Do you know?

[Mike]

They said he would be there probably at the. Ms. Here and there to go to appointments and stuff, but yeah, they did the show with them, I think a couple days ago.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, car was completely annihilated. Like, lucky the Daniel didn't die.

[Eddie]

I'm be honest, when I first heard about this, I didn't know if it was a prank.

[Bobby Bones]

Same.

[Eddie]

Because that's what they do.

[Bobby Bones]

They do. They screw with us all the time. They screw with everybody all the time. I respect it. But I for sure thought they were messing with us.

[Eddie]

They're the kings of pranks.

[Bobby Bones]

So. They once had an egg in our studio.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They came to me and like, hey, hasn't smelled at all in there. And I'm like, no, no, it's good smelling dice. The last like two months, it hasn't smelled like. No. And then they go back in there like, man, we put this egg in here like two months ago. Can't believe it doesn't smell.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wow. This car is messed up.

[Morgan]

So what, like, what happened in the accident?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know?

[Mike]

It was like standstill traffic, so he was completely stopped. And I guess the person who hit him, like, didn't see the traffic was completely slowed down, so probably just hit him like rear ended him.

[Bobby Bones]

Rear ended him for sure.

[Eddie]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

But it looks like not a slam on your brakes and then rear end. It looks like just running through.

[Mike]

Yeah, they didn't get into too many details as far as like that moment he said it was just like Flash didn't even know.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh. So yeah, there's. That's that.

[Eddie]

I'm glad he's okay, in case you.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys didn't hear about that.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, but Mike, I just wanted to say you were on the email for the Christmas party.

[Mike]

Okay. Missed it. Sounds like a nightmare to me though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, me too. And our company tries to trick us sometimes. I'm not even on those emails, but they'll send those emails, like, click here, I'll try to scam you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they try to like, teach us how not to be scammed by scamming us.

[Eddie]

And then they tell you you've been scammed, you fell for the trap, and.

[Bobby Bones]

They take your money and don't give it back. Then you buy cryptocurren from them and then. Yeah, all right, we're done. Thank you guys. We will see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
