Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Price is Right: Strategies, Stories & Lunchbox’s Big Day

• Caller Experiences: Several listeners shared their own Price Is Right tales, confirming that priority ticket holders are guaranteed entry but not necessarily a better chance of being picked as contestants.
  • [03:44] David from Delaware details the chaotic audition process and producer interviews.
    • “Everybody, like I said, acting so crazy because they want to stand out and get on the show.” – David, [04:05]
• Debate: Does Arriving Early Matter?
  • David says early arrival mainly matters for non-priority ticket holders. Ashley adds that earlier entry helps producers notice you sooner, possibly increasing your shot at selection. (Ashley, [08:26])
  • “The earlier you get in there, the quicker the producers will see you.” – Ashley, [08:26]
• Viewer Advice for Lunchbox:
  • Stand out, but stay authentic. Several callers advise being your “big” self, emphasizing that the producers can spot who’s genuinely enthusiastic vs. those who are faking it.
    • “When they meet me, they’re gonna be like, this dude, he oozes like entertainment.” – Lunchbox, [06:30]
  • Callers recount not making it on stage but still having a fantastic experience—though Lunchbox insists, “No, it's a failure,” if you don’t get to play. ([09:47])
• Memorable Call-In:
  • Kelsey shares her story of making it all the way to the Showcase Showdown—only to overbid by $2. She calls it “hands down the best experience ever" despite the miss. ([23:03]–[27:45])
    • “When you see your name, you’re just like, oh my God. … Adrenaline kicks in.” – Kelsey, [24:31]

2. Bobby’s Radio Prankster Days

• Classic Prank Calls: Bobby recounts a college-era game to get on local sports talk shows and say “penis” on air as many times as possible.
  • “We used to call… and just try to say penis on the air. … We shut them down. They took no calls for weeks.” – Bobby, [17:02–19:22]
• Reflections: The prank wasn’t about the word itself, but about the camaraderie and outsmarting the call screeners.
  • “It’s not even about a penis. It's more than that… It just means more.” – Bobby, [20:32]

3. Why Bobby Limits Social Media

• Social Media's Double-Edged Sword: Bobby and Eddie discuss the influences and algorithm-driven echo chambers of social media, particularly on kids and teens.
  • Eddie notices his son’s angrier reactions and new opinions, shaped by “everyone online.”
  • Bobby notes, “It’s his first dose of the algorithm, feeding his bias.” – [34:21]
• Personal Rules: Bobby sometimes enforces a strict “no comments or response reading” rule to protect his mindset.
  • “If I’m not in a good headspace… I have a no looking at anything. No DMs, no comments, no Twitter responses, nothing.” – Bobby, [38:08]
  • Morgan chimes in with the “post and ghost” technique to disengage from feedback loops. ([38:23])
• National Trends: Conversation about new age restrictions and content filters for social platforms, like Denmark banning kids under 15 and Australia moving the age limit to 16. [33:07–34:27]

4. Show Updates & Trivia Chat

• Easy Trivia Rules Debate: A listener points out that Eddie won a trivia round after missing a question—a discussion that morphs into a playful argument over whether game rules should change to make the competition harder for him.
  • “Overall, I think I’m just smarter. A little bit smarter at trivia than you guys.” – Eddie, [12:47]
  • Bobby jokes about introducing “an added element… like a paintball gun.” ([12:03–12:16])
• Dancing With the Stars:
  • Bobby candidly discusses his whirlwind experience, from grueling practice to strict fairness on set and enduring heavy bullying online, and why being “bullied off” the show isn’t really a thing.
  • “That show is the most everybody’s equal show I’ve ever seen.” – Bobby, [41:39]
  • “I was so baby deer being born, because I had no clue what I was doing.” – Bobby, [43:31]

5. Pop Culture & Listeners’ Questions

• Britney Spears Memoir Claim: Discusses bizarre claims from Kevin Federline’s book, including Britney allegedly standing over their kids with knives. The team expresses skepticism about Federline’s motives (“trying to sell books”) and concern for Britney’s well-being.
• Ocean’s Eleven Prequel: The crew reacts to the news of a Bradly Cooper and Margot Robbie prequel—questioning the sense in not including the classic leads and noting the aging of Hollywood’s familiar faces (Dax Shepard, Bradley Cooper, Kris Jenner gets a shout for her “totally new head”). ([55:01–57:01])
• Have You Really Been to a City—If Only in the Airport?
  • They debate whether layovers count as “visiting” a city—ultimately deciding you can only claim a place if you venture outside the airport.

6. Personal Life & Aging

• Lunchbox’s Health Woes: Lunchbox updates the team on his ongoing pain, revealing he’s scheduled for “rehab” (physical therapy) after little success with medical scans.
• Eddie’s Drinking & Aging: Eddie reflects on how aging changes his ability to recover from even modest drinking, and the crew jokes about how quickly his weekly tally climbs—from “one glass” of wine to more as the story unfolds.
  • “I feel sometimes I’m just like, oh, my gosh, I know I look like crap today. And I look in the mirror, I’m like, not too bad. Because I feel terrible.” – Eddie, [58:14]

[Bobby Bones]

Hello, America's sweetheart. Johnny Knoxville here. I want to tell you about my new true crime podcast, Crimeless Hillbilly Heist from Smartless Media, Campside Media, and big money players. It's a wild tale about a gang of high functioning nitwits who. Who somehow pulled off America's third largest cash heist.

[Eddie]

Kind of like Robin Hood, except for.

[Lunchbox]

The part where he steals from the rich and gives to the poor.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not that generous. It's a damn near inspiring true story for anyone out there who's ever shot for the moon, then just totally muffed up the landing. They stole $17 million and had not bought a ticket to help him escape. So we're sitting like, oh God, what do we do?

[Eddie]

What do we do?

[Bobby Bones]

That was dumb.

[Lunchbox]

People do not follow my example.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen to Crimeless Hillbilly Heist on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Two rich young Americans move to the Costa Rican jungle to start over. But one of them will end up dead and the other tried for murder three times. It starts with a dream, a nature reserve and a spectacle, spectacular new home. But little by little, they lose it.

[Caller/Guest]

They actually lose it.

[Bobby Bones]

They sort of went nuts until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Let's go to Bobby Bones show.

[Eddie]

Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Welcome to part two of the podcast. If you are the first timer listening, we appreciate that. Part one is always the full radio show. Part two is us just we're able to sit and stretch out a little bit. This is full podcast. Did not go on the radio. We still have Lunchbox who is on with us in a studio in California. But I want to get to some of the calls. I don't want to make them hold for like two hours. So let's go to David in Delaware, Raymundo on four. Hey, David, you're on the show. What's up, buddy? Studio. Morning. Sorry, we didn't hear. We turned it up late.

[Eddie]

So do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Say that again, David.

[Caller/Guest]

Good morning, studio. So my wife and I, about eight years ago we went and did the Price is Right. We're from Delaware and we had shirts made up. We had. This was when True Terry first took over the show. And we had glasses, everything. We were trying to stand out. People act so crazy to get on the show. So the priority ticket means that you're automatically in the showroom for the show, taping the show. We got there at like 6:30. We had a priority ticket. So we were automatically guaranteed to get in a show. The other people standing outside or off the street, they don't have a ticket. So if people with priority tickets don't show up, then they take people off the street to fill the studio. So your priority ticket guarantees you to be in a showroom.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you feel like you getting there an hour early with a priority ticket gave you an equal shot to get in a better or a lesser shot?

[Caller/Guest]

The priority ticket guaranteed me to get into the showroom and then you go to a couple holding areas, you register, you know, like your name, where you're from and stuff like that. And then you go and when they move you to a second waiting area and then you, you meet the director or the producer for like a 30 second interview, he just goes through the line, where, what's your name? Where are you from? What do you do? And everybody, like I said, acting so crazy because they want to stand out and get on the show. My wife, they picked the person right in front of my wife, who was an X ray tech, and my wife was also an X ray tech and I'm an air traffic controller, Philadelphia. And he said, oh, he says, have you ever had two planes going right at each other? I said, all the time, you know, like joking. And he said, I guess he's not a good one. And then he went to the next person. I was like, wait, what? So he's guaranteed, he's guaranteed to get into the showroom with that ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So it doesn't matter how early he gets there then.

[Caller/Guest]

We got there, I think at like six o' clock in the morning. But I think they started, they opened the doors at like 8 o' clock and they asked for everybody with a priority ticket to come with them. So, like, you show them and then you go in to the processing center?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I guess my question is, does it help if he gets there way, way, way early or if he just gets there on time?

[Caller/Guest]

No, I would probably get there at least an hour early. But he has a priority ticket so he doesn't have to. The waiting in line thing is for people off the street, so that's like a first come, first serve.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. You feel good about that Lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

That makes me feel really good. It makes me feel like I've been trying to say this and that. People that have been and obviously been doing it wrong the whole time been telling me how stupid I am. And once again, Lunchbox is the genius.

[Bobby Bones]

And I literally said, it's like standby. The people that don't have priority tickets.

[Lunchbox]

No, you did, but that lady called in earlier. Ah, you got two tickets. You got to have this. I've been twice, I've been there 12 times and I've never got on. I'm like, yeah, because you're not me.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you feel about everybody trying to be the center of attention? Everybody tries.

[Lunchbox]

Well, see, some people, it's fake. And you can tell it's fake when they meet me. They're gonna be like, this dude, like, he oozes, like, entertainment.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever guys ever thought Lunchbox oozes entertainment?

[Eddie]

Nope, not once.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, he oozes something, there's something, but I don't know if it's entertainment. It's like pus.

[Eddie]

Man. Now, man, I don't know. Now I'm thinking the tuxedo may be.

[Bobby Bones]

Too much.

[Eddie]

You know what I mean? Like, they're talking about air traffic controllers and X ray technician.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that he can't change. That he can't change who he is. Like, if you're gonna want to stand out, go as hard as you can to stand out. Like, if your goal is to stand out, don't mind. There's no such thing as mildly standing out.

[Morgan]

Every once in a while they may pick the zany guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, of course.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Because they pick people with shirts that have stuff written on them so they do something. So why not a tuxedo? Come on, guys. Like, this is it. I'm gonna be the only person in the history to be in a tuxedo.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that that's true, but.

[Eddie]

So they've had a lot of shows.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. David, I appreciate the call, man. Thank you. And we're wishing lunchbox luck.

[Morgan]

Thanks.

[Caller/Guest]

I'll be watching.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Well, I don't know if you can see it until like next year. If you can see it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's not on today. It's not on today.

[Eddie]

How delayed you think like next year?

[Bobby Bones]

I have a friend that went on and won. He won on the show. And I think it was like four months.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Four or five months. I mean, also think if they're taping the Valentine's episode tomorrow, that's February. Yeah, it's October, November, December, four. I mean, it's about four months. Then the Mardi Gras ones. March. Yeah. So, yeah. So they're taping probably for spring of next year. Yeah. Crazy. Okay, let's go. Do we want to do any more calls about that? I got another one from. Let's do one more. Let's go to. It says Ashy on the screen, but I'm gonna bet it's Ashley. Hello, Ashy. Hey, is your name Ashley or Ashley?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. Hey.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's Ashley. Okay, Ashley, you're on with us. What do you want to say?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. Hey. Well, I was just going to tell y' all we had the best time on the prices. Right. My husband Lance and I with a couple of our friends went out to the prices. Right. About a year and a half ago. And when we got there, they do have the priority seating and what they do, it is better to go in early. I was like number 42. Because the earlier you get in there, the quicker the producers will see you. And what they do, they have you sit inside and you have to watch an hour long prices. Right. Show because they want everybody to, you know, to know what they're watching and all they take up your phone, and then when you. I think they come back to row. I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you cut out. You cut out. Go ahead. They take your phone. Then what happens?

[Caller/Guest]

Okay, they take your phone, they sell it. You go inside the studio, very small, and when you sit, it's so loud in there, you can't hear them call your name. They have a cue card below the camera, and you have to watch that cue card to see if they call your name or not because it's extremely loud in there. We didn't get on stage, but we had a ball.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. It's good to know you got to.

[Morgan]

Watch all albums, so if anything, he's still going to have fun.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Will you have fun if you don't get on? No.

[Morgan]

She said it was a ball.

[Lunchbox]

Getting second place. Is that fun?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you have fun. If you only get to contestants row and don't get on stage.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's a failure.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

If you only get on contestants row, that's worse than not getting on.

[Eddie]

Like, you.

[Lunchbox]

Absolutely. Because you were right there to the stage. Like, you failed the stage, and you just let it go.

[Eddie]

Like, you still got to run down the aisle.

[Bobby Bones]

You had an opportunity, and you failed. If you get to contestants row, you had an opportunity, and you failed. If you never get on, you never had an opportunity, like, to have an opportunity and then not take advantage of it.

[Lunchbox]

So close.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's right within your grasp. Okay. Thank you, Ashley. Hope you have a great day. Appreciate you calling us.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you. Hey, Bobby, can I add one thing? Today it's my son's birthday. Can I say happy birthday, Trevor?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Let it rip.

[Caller/Guest]

Okay. Happy birthday, Trevor.

[Bobby Bones]

Happy birthday, Trevor. Hope you have a great birthday, buddy. All right, Ashley. See you later.

[Caller/Guest]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's walk through some voicemails here. Number one, Locked up. Sorry. Locked up like Akon or locked up like this. What happened? My remote can't go that fast from one to the other. Hold on one sec.

[Eddie]

Like his mouse.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, I'm back. What you need? Voicemail number one. All right. Yeah. Eddie's my favorite on the show, but I feel like I need to call him out on Friday's show. In the easy trivia, he actually got one wrong, but then somehow was still.

[Lunchbox]

In the game and still ended up winning the game.

[Caller/Guest]

Game.

[Bobby Bones]

He got the bumblebee question wrong, the.

[Lunchbox]

Transformer question, but then somehow somebody caught.

[Caller/Guest]

It that he was wrong, and he.

[Lunchbox]

Still won the game.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk to y' all later.

[Eddie]

No, I think everyone else got it wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody Missed that category.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So then everybody's back in for speed round, right? Sudden Death round.

[Eddie]

Because I do remember saying Bumblebee and all you guys being like, it was Optimus Prime. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I remember the question. So he did miss it, but he did get to stay in. So that part you're right about it was because everybody else missed it that round and we had to go to sudden death.

[Eddie]

It's the rules.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, I think. Look.

[Eddie]

Oh, no. What?

[Morgan]

Shut up, Eddie.

[Eddie]

What? I didn't say shut up.

[Morgan]

I know what you're like, oh, no, don't discontinue the game cuz I win all the time. Trust me, I know where this is going. And he was trying to set. Stop.

[Eddie]

We don't know where it's going.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you were setting it. You were like, what?

[Eddie]

I did think.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there needs to be an added element because Eddie's about to win the championship again if he does. But like, like. And this is not the added element, but I think it's. This is not it. But imagine you're answering questions and I've got a paintball gun trained on you and you miss it.

[Eddie]

Oh my God.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not just what you know, it's how you perform under pressure.

[Eddie]

No, we're not doing that.

[Lunchbox]

Well, paintball gun sounds a little rough, but.

[Morgan]

Well, if it's not that, then what is?

[Eddie]

What are you thinking?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, like, okay, there's got to be some added element because otherwise he dominates. It's stupid.

[Eddie]

Listen, listen.

[Morgan]

For whatever reason lately, I don't know, I mean, I've won before.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I hear you. You.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he's won so much more.

[Morgan]

Than overall in that big hundred question trivia thing. I won like, I don't know. What the heck? What is it, guys?

[Eddie]

Overall, I think I'm just smarter. A little bit smarter at trivia than you guys.

[Morgan]

No, because sometimes we go out on like really like.

[Bobby Bones]

But I would say he's right because he has the data to prove it. That's the only thing. He has way more wins at this game than anybody else.

[Eddie]

Now Tom Brady wants so many Super Bowls. Did they change the game of football because of Tom Brady? No, they just let him win it.

[Bobby Bones]

They aired up the balls a little more.

[Eddie]

Well, that's true, because he deflated him a little bit. I mean, you know what I mean? Like, you can't change the game just because someone's dominating.

[Morgan]

I don't want to change it. I mean, he, he's not full domination.

[Bobby Bones]

Not full, no, but pretty close.

[Eddie]

Doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like it either.

[Morgan]

Does my 100 question win not stand for anything?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a once a year thing. It's. It's a different championship. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And you want it fair and square.

[Bobby Bones]

Different championship, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. There's that first voicemail. Raymondo Himo number two. My sister in law is very ocd and so she wrote down seven lottery numbers or tickets for my brother, her husband, to go to a gas station and pick. She wrote down all seven tickets. He went to gas station. And unfortunately the person that arrested her.

[Caller/Guest]

Has some trouble speaking English and couldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Quite understand what was going on. So my brother just said, all right, just forget it. Give me seven quick picks. Well, later that night, $127 million jackpot. The numbers that his wife originally picked.

[Caller/Guest]

One of them hit for $127 million.

[Bobby Bones]

And they did not get it because he switched to quick picks. Just want to get your thoughts on it.

[Eddie]

No. No way.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't believe it. No way. I also don't believe it, but I don't. But I don't believe this guy's lying.

[Eddie]

You just think the story is false.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I, I think that he's been told a false story. I think the story is probably. It's a fish story, if you will.

[Eddie]

Like fishing.

[Bobby Bones]

It has grown over time.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Or you know, like I thought my grandma had all the bones taken out of her feet.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

And at the end it was.

[Morgan]

I mean, she had some foot reconstruction.

[Bobby Bones]

And a toe that kind of had.

[Morgan]

All of her toes. All ten?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

All ten of her toes were.

[Bobby Bones]

Not stuffed with teddy bear stuffing, which is what you told us.

[Morgan]

Cuz that's what I thought. Her feet were so puffy. They honestly looked like they were stuffed. And for whatever reason, that's what I interpreted her situation. And it really was that she had some crazy toe procedure that it's rare to get it on all 10. And it was painful, but she definitely wasn't stuffed.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think that some of the numbers probably hit and we definitely could be wrong because we weren't there. But for that story to be exactly that story, again, it's crazier than Eddie being the President of the United States.

[Eddie]

And like the amount of money, like $138 million and the lady didn't speak good English.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a lot of things that had to go wrong.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And when you go to the do those, you don't even need the person at the counter to speak English. Because if you have your numbers you're picking, you go fill out the Scantron and you just hand it to them and they stick it in the machine.

[Eddie]

That's right.

[Lunchbox]

So that the clerk has nothing to do with those numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Again, I don't think the caller's lying. I think the caller's been lied to.

[Eddie]

Just heard a bad story.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right, next at number three, I.

[Caller/Guest]

Was just wondering, you guys always want.

[Bobby Bones]

Us to call your show, but would.

[Caller/Guest]

You guys personally call a podcast yourself? Just wondering.

[Bobby Bones]

Bite.

[Eddie]

No, probably not.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Morgan]

No, I haven't lately.

[Eddie]

You have before?

[Morgan]

No. She called this. I called the Bobby Bone show back in 2004.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's about outdoor places to eat in Austin. She called.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Morgan]

I had an hour commute to work. I was bored. They were taking callers. I couldn't believe I got on. I was so excited. When I got to work, I was telling everybody, and they were like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I hate the end of the story. Because she's always like. I was telling them. They're like, who's that person? I never heard of him. He must be terrible.

[Morgan]

Y' all were. Y' all were relatively new on the air, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but it just.

[Morgan]

So. It was like. They were like, what? And I was like, kiss fm. The Bobby Bone Show. Lunchbox Jill.

[Eddie]

I never heard of him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that guy won't make it. The story gets worse every time. $127 million lottery ticket that day, too. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well, it's just more of. The point is nobody was excited for me, and I was pumped. Like, nobody tells you, like, the nerves that go through your body. Like, I was full of adrenaline. Like, when I hung up, I, like, ready to conquer the day.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, now I appreciate people that do. I just don't think I would. I've called in the sports talk. Prank calling them before.

[Eddie]

Like, recently.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but we used to do it in. In the dorm, back to back. We. We would get on. We used to call 1037 the buzz, which was the sports station. And we just tried to say penis on the air. Like that was it. We didn't want to say anything because I was. The crazy part is I was. I had a radio job. It wasn't like I was a kid. I was already working in radio, so I didn't want to, like, violate FCC rules for them. I had a little kindness to my heart. And so we didn't want to say the F word or anything, but we would just Try to get on and say penis. And so there would be, like four of us in four different dorm rooms on the same floor. And we had cordless phones, so no cell phones. So we had cordless phones. We would all come and gather up in the room. My room, and be like, all right, boys, let's give it a run. So we'd all start calling in all four of us. And I'd be like, yeah, I just want to make comment on the new patches that the Red Sox are wearing. Man. Penis. Penis. Penis. And I just go penis over and over again until they would cut it off. So we'd get on one of us, and they'd get so mad, if you guys don't, we're going to trace your call. I knew they weren't going to trace our call. Also, it's not. It's not illegal to do so. That was the advantage of working radio, because I knew they weren't going to trace a call and knew there's nothing they could do. Even if we did. Even if we got on and said the F word, it's on them to make sure it doesn't get on the air. Not us. But we didn't. So then it started to be. Because we got on so many times, it started to be, can we get on back to back? And so someone would get on and be like, yeah, I just want to say the running back for the penis. Peace. Penis. Penis. They curse at us. And I'd be loaded up in queue. They'd be like, all right, let's go over to Chuck and Russellville, man. Randy, I tell you. Well, I don't like when those call guys call and ruin the show because they say that stuff and it runs. I know. I got you. Thank you for calling. What do you want to say? I just want to say penis. Penis. Penis. Penis. And so it got to the point where they would only put you on the air if they called you back. So you had to give them your number.

[Morgan]

So then they had you.

[Eddie]

Then they had the list of numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

Then they had a list of numbers. So, okay, they call and we give them our number, and they call us back and they think, okay, we got them. Because again, what are they gonna do with our number? They gonna show up to the dorm and prosecute us?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they call, and they'd be like, all right, let's take some calls today. All right, let's go over to. Yeah, Willie down in Ashdown. I just wanna say, man, Clyde Starner played a heck of a game. Especially when I was watching him run. I could just see his penis flopping everywhere. And they'd be like, they quit taking calls for weeks. We shut them down. They took no calls. Like, they turned the show into. It was a call in show called Drive Time Sports. There were no call ins for weeks. It was our crown jewel.

[Eddie]

That's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

There's somewhere. It's probably dead at this point, but I had a tape of, like, 30 of those. And we never went harder than the word penis. No pun intended, but it was just not. And they would get so mad. And when they would call us back, they were like, oh, yeah, we got them. No one's gonna give us their number. Did we hit him with Clutch Runner with the penis flopping? They gave up. You heard it. You heard it in their voice. It was just like. And they did not take a call for weeks. What an accomplishment. I have some pretty cool accomplishments, I'll not lie. Radio hall of Fame, youngest member ever. Pretty cool. When he danced with stars. Pretty cool. I think up there in that Mount Rushmore is getting Drivetime Sports to stop taking calls for about a month.

[Eddie]

It's fair enough.

[Bobby Bones]

Because we kept saying the word penis, and that is still funny to me. And I'm 45. Like, I was 19 or 20. I think it's funnier now at 45 than when I was 19 or 20.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That's pretty funny, Amy. Like, it's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I haven't saw Morgan's face light up when I was telling the story. Like, it's so juvenile. It's not even about a penis. It's not even about. It's just.

[Eddie]

It's way more than that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's. It's. Yeah, it's. Amy. It's more than that. It just means something, you know? It just means more. Penis is like the sec. It just means more.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's it, man. That was what. What a run we had.

[Eddie]

To me, my favorite part was just the defeat of them going, oh, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

You heard an Excel. Next.

[Eddie]

Hell, it's like, they got us.

[Bobby Bones]

They won.

[Eddie]

Whoever these guys are, they got us.

[Bobby Bones]

And when they finally went back to take. When they finally went back to taking calls, they were so timid because we had them. We didn't even call back. We would just listen every day to see if they would take calls. We knew we had them. We were in their heads so hard that they didn't take calls, right. For about a month. And when they started taking calls, they so gingerly put the calls, and they would, like, ride the lever to take the call down. We never called again. But we didn't have to. We had a lasting, a long lasting impact.

[Eddie]

They were on edge forever.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they still may be doing that show. I don't know.

[Morgan]

Let's call them.

[Bobby Bones]

Get back in with a penis just for old times.

[Eddie]

That'd be great, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like one of those 90 year old pilots that goes and flies the old warplane again that we do. And tell me something good, 93 years old, gets taken up in the warplane that he was in in World War II to tell me something good. It's me going, hey, man, I just want to say Bobby Petrino, I'm really rooting for him this year. Especially his penis.

[Eddie]

They're like, he's back.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Morgan]

That be funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's so funny to me. Okay. I got some good prank call stories, man. We used to do that stuff like crazy. Okay, let's.

[Morgan]

But we also love when people call. Even though it's like we have a delay a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

We have a delay.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So they can't do that to us.

[Bobby Bones]

And. And so they. Oh, here's another part. They can't do it to us. Secondly, our delay, it resets fast. We have like a double delay. They had a delay and so they started to use the delay like halfway through. So that's why it hurt worse. We hit them with the second one because they dropped the delay. They were back in raw time. We hit them again. They can't drop that one.

[Eddie]

It's just on.

[Bobby Bones]

It was just on.

[Eddie]

I can't do anything about it.

[Bobby Bones]

We hit them raw with the penis. Yes. Yeah, I know some of you hear that and go, that is not funny. And it is very juvenile, but grow up. Yeah, grow down.

[Eddie]

Grow down, guys. Because that's some funny stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Some funny stuff. It's some funny stuff. Okay. Okay, Kelsey made it to contestants row. Made it to Showcase Showdown. Okay. Okay, let's go to Kelsey Ray on line three. Hey, Kelsey, you're on with us. Lunchbox is on with us as well from California.

[Caller/Guest]

Hi. What's up?

[Bobby Bones]

You're on.

[Caller/Guest]

Oh, my gosh. Awesome. And you're at the prices, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. So you went on.

[Caller/Guest]

I did. This was about probably seven years ago or so it was. Me and my husband went to California for our anniversary and I was like, this has to be like the number one stop. We have to go to celebrate.

[Bobby Bones]

And did you do anything special to get on? Did you dress up? Did you. Anything crazy?

[Caller/Guest]

No. I mean, my husband says that I Acted a little extra. But I say I acted normal. But, no, I did not dress up any kind of crazy. We had shirts made, but it was nothing like, you know, dressed up as, like, some kind of character or anything. I do remember one guy, like, did some kind of, like, card trick, but, like, he obviously didn't get on. But I would say totally act yourself. That's what I did.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so Lunchbox himself is a lot. So he should just be a lot, right?

[Caller/Guest]

Be a lot. Be you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you got your name called. Did you hear them call over the top, or do you see a card with your name on it?

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, you. I kind of heard it. And then they actually have a card with your name, like, written on it. So you can see to in case, like, you can't hear it or whatever. But they do have it where you can see it when your name is called.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it crazy to hear your name or to see your name and go, oh, my God, I'm going up. And were you so, so nervous?

[Caller/Guest]

Yes. Oh, my gosh. When I saw that, I was like, am I reading this right? Like, this is me. And, you know, that's some, like, a show I've always watched ever since I was little. And so you. When you see your name, you're just like, oh, my God. And, like, it just kind of adrenaline kicks in. Then I just ran to the front, and you're just like. I was like, oh, my God. Oh, my God the whole time. So it was. It was so surreal to see.

[Bobby Bones]

And how many of the contestants row, like, bids did you do before you got up on stage?

[Caller/Guest]

I was the second to last person, so I pretty much did, like, two bids on contestant throw.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you won.

[Caller/Guest]

And then I won.

[Bobby Bones]

And what game did you play?

[Caller/Guest]

I got to play grand game. So you have to guess the price of the items that are under a certain amount. And so I think mine was, like, $7, so I had to guess the prices that were under that amount.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you win?

[Caller/Guest]

I did. I won.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you win there?

[Caller/Guest]

I won $10,000. Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Awesome. Okay. And then so now it's Showcase showdown time. Oh, no. You spin the wheel. You do the wheel. How'd you do on the wheel?

[Caller/Guest]

Yep, the wheel. I spun one time. I was the last person to spin. The guy that swore me got a 90, so I'm like, oh, here we go. I'm done. At least I get to spin the wheel. I get to do that. But I spun one time, and I actually landed on 95. So I got to head to the showcase.

[Bobby Bones]

Going to the showcase, were you again, were you super nervous or were you a little more calm now?

[Caller/Guest]

I was still pretty nervous because I'm like, okay, this is like the big deal prizes. So, like. And I was. Had my heart that I'm like, I want some trips. I want some trips. My husband was like, pass on the trips. Get the cars. But I was like, no, this is my deal. I'm gonna go. Go for my trip. So I was still pretty nervous.

[Bobby Bones]

And how'd you do?

[Caller/Guest]

I overbid by $2.

[Bobby Bones]

$2. $2.

[Morgan]

Dang.

[Caller/Guest]

$2.

[Bobby Bones]

$2. No way.

[Caller/Guest]

Yep, $2. It still haunts me to this day. I could have been on two trips and had some cash.

[Bobby Bones]

But what was the number you picked? Because I guess those will probably have, like, non square numbers. Like, not in an.

[Caller/Guest]

Yeah, I think it was. I don't really remember, but I'd say it was. I think I did, like, 21 500. And then it was like, 214 98.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Oh, that's what I'm saying. Like, that's how they get you on that one. Dang. Was it a totally cool experience? And how long until you got your money?

[Caller/Guest]

I want to say I got the check pretty quick in from them. I don't remember. It's been several years, but it was pretty quick. It wasn't too long, but it was honestly hands down the best experience ever. Like, I so want to go back one day. I always told my husband I want to take my son when he's old enough because I've shown him, like, my videos on YouTube, and he's always like, mom, I want to watch your Price is Right show. So I would love to take him, like, one day way down the road and go do that. Well, that would be so awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That is awesome. Well, thank you for the call, and, man, what a story. She missed it by two bucks. Cause it was some weird number.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, nobody died, buddy.

[Eddie]

I know, man. Big opportunity missed here.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bones trying to get Lunchbox working on his phone, and we're having to, like, direct him.

[Eddie]

It's working. We're good.

[Lunchbox]

No, we're good. Don't even. Don't even act like it's not working. It's. We have issues.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, we got Morgan Freeman trying to teach him how to use his phone. Darn it. Okay, lunchboxes in California, obviously, for you, for you guys that are watching on the YouTube page. You're just mere minutes away, Lunchbox from leaving and starting your day at prices. Right. Has the adrenaline. Are you a little tired now? Because you've been talking about it all morning like you woke up, didn't sleep very well. Is that hit you yet? Are you still fired up?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I gotta be honest. I'm exhausted. Like, I'm so freaking tired.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm trying to get this to.

[Bobby Bones]

Work, but I hear, oh, he's back on the phone. He's back trying to figure out the phone.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it's echoing, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Turn your headphones down.

[Lunchbox]

It's coming through my phone. How do I get it off my phone?

[Eddie]

Like, turn the volume down all the way.

[Bobby Bones]

Do that push mute on it instead of the volume all the way down. I did stop turning the phone over and over, making me dizzy. Okay, he's doing, like.

[Eddie]

It keeps going from vertical to horizontal.

[Lunchbox]

How do I get the mute? It's not working, man.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all right.

[Eddie]

But we're good, man.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll figure it out. You want to do stories, Amy, you.

[Morgan]

Want to go yeah. So did y' all see the Instagram? They introduced a new teen account with PG13, like, content restrictions.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw that, like the head of creative talking about it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

And then as I was reading an article about that, I scrolled down and saw that like, Denmark just outlawed. Anybody under 15 can't even have social media. And Australia is. Come December, nobody under 16 will be able to have social media.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably better. Social media is a tumor.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but we're just gonna make it more pg 13.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what we do, right? Yeah, we. We do anything for a buck in this country. Yeah, it's like super capitalism. And I'm big capitalist, but man, there's a time and a place to go. Hey, maybe we should chill a bit.

[Morgan]

Some states have tried to, you know, ban it, but it always gets overruled.

[Eddie]

I could see my son getting a little more angry at things if.

[Morgan]

What?

[Eddie]

No, just recently since he's just been more on social media. Like he just get. Has more opinions on things and he gets angry about them. And I'm like, we're like, where are you? Like, it's just everyone says. And he uses words like that. Like everyone is saying. I'm like, but who are you talking about? Like, just online people online.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like he's getting his first dose of the algorithm, feeding his bias.

[Morgan]

The echo chamber.

[Bobby Bones]

We all have, we all get it. It's his first dose of it. It turns people into extremists. Non extreme people turn into extremists. And I'm not saying like terrorists extremists, but like just your feelings on things, the. What you want to fight about online, how you feel. Like that's what, that's what happens. Yeah, they, the best thing they can do is divide us. That's divide and conquer. They want to keep us divided as a society. By the way, I love social media, but it doesn't sound like it. It's my favorite thing. But also I understand the boundaries, the illness that is social media. Like, I get it.

[Eddie]

It's just funny because even when he's like talking about sports, he's like, well, everyone says that this player is just no good now and let me. Like, who? Everyone. Like everyone online. It's just so. Everything he talks about is just like he takes, he gathers what like people are saying online and takes that as the masses telling them what they're thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

Last night on social media, I recorded my wife singing Brooks and Dunn because she was doing a Ronnie Dunn impression.

[Eddie]

She was awesome. Like, she can sing.

[Bobby Bones]

I Thought it was pretty good. I mean, no, she can sing, but that wasn't the point. It was just her, she's funny. And she was doing an impression of Ronnie where Ron. Ronnie, like he, he has like a room when he sings. He sang that song at our wedding. And she was like, I think I'm really nailing this. And she was being funny. And I recorded the. I hit video real quick and hit record. And it was like shooting down into the comforter so all you see is white, but I wrote on it. And people are like, she's going to kill you. Look, you don't think I didn't run. I had to like make a deal to post that because she doesn't like stuff posted really about her, with her. But I had to make her like a deal.

[Morgan]

What's the deal?

[Bobby Bones]

Just don't really like me sleeping in the bed right now because she's so uncomfortable being pregnant. So it's more like, I'll go, I'll give you four nights. Or I could just stay upstairs because I guilter about it too. I'm like, you know, I can't sleep. My own bed.

[Eddie]

It's my bed.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like I missed my own bed. And I was like, if you let me post this, I'll give you four nights. I think I started at three. I think we ended up at four.

[Eddie]

Negotiation.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's like, I'm not gonna look at the comments. She's like, is I? But deal. Because I keep her up. Or she is constantly awake being pregnant and then she feels like she's gonna wake me up. So it's a no win. But I would never post. She would. She would kill me if I recorded her.

[Morgan]

You would have no nights in bed because you did.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd be dead. No more nights, period. But yeah, she was singing and she did know I was recording her. The audio is not great. You have to turn it up. But it's on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones. And she's like, yeah, how do I. How do I sound? Because she even holds a note out like he does.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

But people are like, she's such a good singer. And she's like, no, I'm not.

[Eddie]

No, she is. She is. You can tell I know she was joking and I know it was all a joke, but under all that, I could tell, she's got a good voice.

[Morgan]

Dude.

[Eddie]

That's the first thing I heard. And then what's funny?

[Bobby Bones]

I know I sent her your comment. I took a screenshot of it and I sent it to her. I'll tell you what she said, because I literally. What's funny is we went, haha, that's good.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She went, lol.

[Eddie]

No, no, it was good. And then. And then we went for a walk in the neighborhood after I saw that. And the whole town thinks, yeah, give.

[Bobby Bones]

Us the impression that was funny. And the fact that in the middle of it she goes, man, I was really nailing it this morning, but I just can't get it right right now.

[Eddie]

So funny.

[Bobby Bones]

But yes. No, she knew. I had to. I had to bargain with her to put that up. But yes, that's the deal. Social media is terrible. It really is terrible. I love it, but it's terrible. Yeah, at times I should be on it less. I have at times implemented a no reading any sort of comments or responses rule on my stuff that I post. So it doesn't matter where I post it. If I'm not in a good headspace to, like, take it. I just. I have a no looking at anything. No DMs, no comments, no Twitter responses, nothing. I'm just a post and I'm blocking everything else out. Sometimes I'm like, I'm good with it.

[Morgan]

Post and ghost.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[Eddie]

Oh, Amy, I like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you make that up?

[Morgan]

I've heard it before. Oh, I can't remember where, but I've just heard that's pretty good. I think it was Carrie Underwood that said it. Oh, shout out Carrie Underwood. Yeah. Posting ghosts.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, your story, Morgan. So I haven't watched Dancing with the.

[Morgan]

Stars since you were on. That was kind of last time I watched, but I actually watched this last.

[Bobby Bones]

Episode because I saw enough clips. They did a dedication night and it was really cool because Mr. Feeny was on it like 98. Yeah. Danielle Fisher, who plays Topanga, did her dedication to Boy Meets World. And he was standing there, and that one got me super emotional. But then Robert Irwin did a dedication to his mom after, like, losing his dad, and that one made me emotional.

[Morgan]

And I've never, like. I haven't watched this show ever.

[Bobby Bones]

I only really watched it when you were on. So I don't know, what about these?

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it's a nostalgia of the Irwin family and Boy Meets World, but it was really cool. I think it's a good mix. And there's also, like, a villain, and the villain's been kicked off. And I. I don't post a lot about Dancing with the Stars. The only time I really talk about it is when the season is Gets reannounced because I don't watch every episode. I watch clips and I have friends that are still on that show as pro dancers, but I don't watch it enough to like, comment about it. But again, if I'm somewhere and the new lineup comes out, that's usually when my cycle talking about it comes back again. Like, I was a barstool doing a bunch of stuff the day it was announced. I did like five shows talking about it because they were like, what's it like? But I did a post because I saw where Hilaria Baldwin, who's Alec Baldwin's wife, much younger. They have like 72 kids. She's really pretty. But she has some dancing background. Like she has to. I know she does. I just don't know what it is. So if somebody doesn't mind looking that up. She was just not liked by the audience, by the other dancers. Like, not well liked at all. She has a background as an amateur ballroom dancer who competed in her college years. Okay. She definitely, you could tell how she moved. She knew how to move. And so she got kicked off and she was talking about how she got bullied off the show. I didn't think much of it, but I posted a TikTok and my TikTok usually just country music stuff. And I posted, hey, there's no such thing as getting bullied off the show. You can get bullied. Listen, I got bullied worse than anybody I've ever seen on that show, but I didn't get bullied off. You get voted off, you don't get enough votes. You get kicked off, you don't get bullied off because you can be bullied. That means a significant amount of people don't like you. But there can also be a bigger amount of people that love you for the reason that people don't like you. And when people don't like you, they're vocal. When people love you, they're not vocal. So you don't feel that. So you just feel the pressure of all the negativity. Because people that enjoy something don't go online to just be like, yeah, I love it. Like, generally we don't do that, but if something is like really bad, we definitely will say something sucks. So she was like, I got bullied off the show. And so I just posted a thing. And I was like, I just want everybody to know you don't get bullied off the show because I got the crap beat out of me bully wise by just the hardcore fans of the show. And I won like, people liked me, so I won. People just didn't like her. Very unlikable on the show and apparently was very demanding behind the scenes from certain things I've heard. And that show is the most everybody's equal show I've ever seen. And I've been on a few shows, Everybody. There is no benefit given to anybody who dances on that show as a competitor that the other people don't get for a couple of reasons, the most being it is a money. It is a show where money is won. There are federal laws against giving people an advantage on a show where you're competing for money, so there's no advantages given. You can't get more time. You can't get more of this or that. Everybody has the same rules. Everybody's given the same. And so, yeah, I just think everybody hated her, that's all. Yeah, she got bullied. But welcome to the club. That doesn't mean you lose. You lose because you don't get votes.

[Eddie]

I watch that show, and it just takes me straight to, like, you dancing there, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Being in a beating studio, it's crazy for me to think about how it was just an insane part of my life because I was doing the show every day I was doing that. I had no clue what I was doing. I was hurt. I was touring. It was such a. I remember somebody like one of the Property brothers, Drew, was like, hey, this thing is gonna happen, and then it's gonna be over, and all you're gonna have is, like, your thoughts of it. And this is before, obviously, I won. This is, like, week four. And he was a big reason I did this show because it was Drew that was on, right? And I remember talking to him, and he was like, do it, and you'll have fun. Because he had no experience dancing. And he goes, it'll be something, you know, Just. There'll be five years of great stories. And I was like, all right, cool. And I remember him coming back to me and going. Because he came up, and it was like eating lunch while we were all eating lunch up there. And he was like, dude, if you don't, like, just remember specific things, it's all. You're not gonna remember anything because it's gonna be such a blur. And I remember taking that to heart and just, like, remembering, like, where the lights were and, like, it. I have such vivid memories because of that and how nervous I was before every dance. And it is a crazy experience and how, like, intense that show is because it's live, and it's like, go that's what I remember. And there are millions of people, and you're just on. You're on millions of people watching you live. You mess up. It's there. And I was just. I was so baby dear being born, because I had no clue what I was doing.

[Eddie]

I remember, too, thinking that all the music is live. Like, they play.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, most is.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they play it. There's like, an orchestra pit and a band.

[Bobby Bones]

And for you, when you came, for sure it was live that night. It wasn't always live, I don't think. I think they played some track stuff.

[Eddie]

I was so shocked by that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I was exhausted. That was a rough few months, huh, Mike?

[Lunchbox]

It was wild. It was a while.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike and I would just live in an apartment. I drag in, try to sleep for a few hours. We go up and do the radio show, get back out to practice. It was awesome.

[Eddie]

By the time I went, Mike, they already knew. Mike. They're like, hey, Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

I went to every single show. So even me watching the show now, I'm like, oh, I just remember, like, sitting in that audience because they would put you in the section, like, with, like, your crew. Yeah. And that's just a wild experience that I was there every single time. I didn't even want to go on the show, like, all of this. Now, looking back, I actually. Whenever they offered me American Idol, they were like. It was a time when it was, like, got a brief, shiny penny moment where it was like, oh, this guy's different. And he's. He doesn't live in LA or New York. And I got offered one of the judge spots on Mass Singer or go and be, like, the fifth string on American Idol. But I knew with ABC that if I did good there, it could turn into other shows, which it did. And so I had to decide, did I want to go be on a show that was coming from, I think, master singers from, like, South Korea or Japan. Let me write on this somewhere on that. And it was on Fox, and Fox is real, but it wasn't as real as abc, which had other networks. And so I remember taking the American Idol job and CBS had a show. I went and met with Les Moonves, who was the president of cbs. Like, I was in his office before he got canceled.

[Eddie]

Well, how big was that office?

[Bobby Bones]

It was massive. And it was me and Scooter Braun and Les Moonves.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Scooter Braun flew me on his plane to la.

[Eddie]

What the.

[Lunchbox]

And we.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we flew from here to la. And then me, Scooter and Les Moonves had A meeting about a show. And I remember Les Moonves, who's the president at the time, saying, hey, when I hire a host for something, they end up doing 20 years. And he was like, Jeff Probst. He was like, talking about the other hosts, and. And it was like a music show that I had to commit to, but the show never got made, so I'm glad I didn't commit to it. I think that was why, too. It really wasn't a thing. It was like an idea.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

More so like a developing thing. And then I didn't do the Fox thing, and I did American Idol. And so when I went back to American Idol for the second season, they were like, we want you to do Dancing with the Stars. There's also a USA Network show they wanted me to host. This was like a time when it was like, wow, I'm getting all these offers. It's crazy, but you can only take one. And it was that show where, like, Travis Tritt and Shania Twain were the judges. Do you guys remember that? That was never really in consideration, but it was at the same time. And so I'd do American Idol. And then second season, I was going back to American Idols when they were paying me the second season, and they're like, hey, will you do Dancing with the Stars? And I was like, I don't think so. I don't know how to dance. And the taping schedule kind of rolled over, and Idol was hard taping, like, long days. And so I remember I called Charlemagne Charlamagne the God. And I was like, hey, like, it's kind of just losers that go on that show. And he goes, not really. He goes, there's people either going up, people going down. One of the two. Yeah, you're not going to see. He didn't use Timothy Chalamet as an example, but whoever used DiCaprio, you're going to see DiCaprio on there. But he goes, look, Wendy Williams, Michael Strahan. He starts listening to these people that did it. On the way up, he was like, do the show. And I talked to Drew, and he was like, do the show. And I was like, all right. Because Idol was like, you'll do a few weeks, and you'll be off, and you'll be back just in time for Idol. I didn't. I didn't come off. And then they had to decide whether to take me off the show or not. And I remember when it was a conversation, I was really irritated they were considering taking me off because I was killing myself to Just be somewhat. Even to just be competitive to get sevens. Because I had no history. Because you had people that really knew how to dance on that show. And then, yeah, we won the show. Definitely a we thing. I remember finding your things that you would write. You would write down all your dance moves around the apartment. There'd just be these papers with all your moves because you would try to remember it. I had to write every single move down and then try to remember the paper instead of. Because I had no experience on what even things meant. So I'd be like, right foot turned to the left six inches. Okay, take your left step. So I would have just documents of pages where I would just write it all down and then study that and hopefully take that with my body into the room. Crazy awesome. And everybody got mad at me the night after I won. Like, I shouldn't say everybody. A lot of the other folks from the show got irritated at me because I'm never late to anything. But after the show, they have a wrap party for the winners and all before you head to ABC to get a fly to New York to do the next Good Morning America. It's the champion. I like the other three people, and they're all at the private plane waiting. I didn't get to go to the party because I had to go to work. So I had to drive to the radio station. As soon as the show's over, I went. They're like, champion. I do, like, two interviews, and I'm like, I got to work or I can't go to ABC the next day, drive across town to the radio station. We do the show. It's midnight, and as soon as I finish the show, I go back to the plane, and they're all there like, what's up, man? I'm like, guys, I got a job. Like, none. You guys have a job. I had to go work.

[Eddie]

You weren't celebrating?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't. I didn't even get to go to my own winning party because I had to go to work. So, yeah, crazy time. I still have the trophy, too. It's awesome. It's not in the house anymore, but it's awesome. My wife doesn't like it in the house anymore, but it's awesome.

[Eddie]

Just those crazy times, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy times for sure. Okay, let's go. Who's got a story? Eddie, I got you.

[Eddie]

Let me send you a picture. I want to send you a picture of something I saw in the local news. There was a car that ended up on the roof of someone's house, and they have no idea how it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's in. It's in, like, face first. It like, looks like it fell from the sky and is going down into the roof.

[Eddie]

The two people in the car went to the hospital, but no life threatening injuries. I mean, how.

[Bobby Bones]

How did it get up there?

[Eddie]

They have no idea. Like, it's just.

[Bobby Bones]

It's so high, too. It doesn't look like it hits a curb and flips over into the roof.

[Eddie]

Amy, I'll send it to you too. It's literally the front of the car is face down into the ground, but it's on top of the roof. So for a car to go.

[Bobby Bones]

What's best guess, though? Because it had to hit something to go up. Because it had to come down.

[Eddie]

Had to.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there a bridge or anywhere nearby?

[Eddie]

I mean, they say investigators are still looking into how it happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's. It may die.

[Eddie]

No, everyone's okay. And there wasn't anyone in the house, so that's good. Some of the neighboring properties got. Had damage, so they had to. I'm thinking they had to have hit something at, like, fast speed and then enough to do a little Dukes of Hazzard fly in the air. Cuz, man, you go over like a railroad track or something, you don't get that much air.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's what I'm saying. Even a curb, like, not that much.

[Eddie]

Air for it to get that high. To actually have the front of the car going down into the roof. Man, that thing was skyrocketing.

[Bobby Bones]

They hit a kid's bike ramp. Didn't see it coming.

[Eddie]

I did that one time.

[Bobby Bones]

And a car.

[Eddie]

No, I actually. There were these kids in the neighborhood, and they were like, come on, do it, do it, do it. And so I did the ramp.

[Bobby Bones]

On skateboard?

[Eddie]

No, on a bike. And on a regular bicycle. And it was a curb. It was like the ramp was on the street. And I was riding in the cul de sac, hit the ramp, and it was all. I was supposed to land on a down slope in the grass. And, dude, that front tire went too far. And I rolled over. All I heard was on my neck. And the whole neighborhood go, ooh. I thought it was over. I thought I broke in my back. Everyone that was watching was like, oh, that was the old dude that got.

[Bobby Bones]

Hurt on the bike lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I saw Kevin Federline came out and said that Britney Spears, man. This Britney Spears, it just gets his phone.

[Bobby Bones]

His phone's now farther away. Yeah, it's like a cinematic angle now. I Like it.

[Lunchbox]

No, here's the point.

[Bobby Bones]

See the mouse and the keyboard, like, really given depth to the picture.

[Lunchbox]

Here's the problem. I can't figure out how to turn the volume off. I think when I accepted the invite to the video that I said, you could have access to my microphone or my phone. And so it won't. When you turn all the way volume down, it goes right back up. Like, it won't let. It won't stay off.

[Bobby Bones]

So you move the phone further away from you.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because of the echo. Because I didn't want the echo coming back. It's so annoying because I can't figure it out. I'm sorry. Yes, I did. But I was able to connect on video, which I'm impressed with that. I did it on my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But anyway, I saw that Kevin Federline, he said two things about Brittany. He said that she called and reached out to Justin Timberlake the night before their wedding. And then also that she used to stand over the children with a knife in her hand as they slept.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw both of those. I took the Justin Timberlake call as like a. Hey, before I get married, I got some things I want to say. Is that how you took it?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I kind of took it as like, man, what are you. Like, why are you calling him the night before? Like. Like she missed him. Like, she was hoping he would say, you know what?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll take you back. Yeah, okay. Yeah, maybe that could be it, too. I didn't have a fair interpretation. Mine was just like, she was calling because before she got married, she wanted to say some stuff. But yeah, and then the knife thing, I don't really know what the point was of that. Like, just to prove she's like, listen, the whole Free Britney movement, bad movement, I think we realize now. Bad movement. Everybody's like, you got Free Britney. You got some people. There are reasons they can't be as free for their own safety. It feels like the Free Britney movement might have been a little premature.

[Eddie]

It's funny that people go that hard on a movement when they have no.

[Bobby Bones]

Idea what's that everybody about anything on the Internet.

[Eddie]

Because obviously we had no idea what was happening.

[Bobby Bones]

And you were leading it. You had a sign, Free.

[Eddie]

I was there, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Every time, building. I know. What'd you take about the knife stuff? Like, what'd you think?

[Lunchbox]

I just thought that. I mean, it just makes me think Britney is really bad off and that she has just always been really bad off. And they did a good job of hiding it. And now with Social media. And just, like, with her being on her own that we all just see behind the curtain. I don't know why Kevin Federline said it. Like, I don't really get. Oh, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's a book.

[Lunchbox]

That's. I forgot. He's trying to sell books.

[Eddie]

That's when we get all the good stories.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, that's why he even writes the book is Britney Stories. Nobody cares about Kevin Federline, the dancer. It's. What can you tell us about Brittany? But, I mean, why do you think she was holding the knives? I took it as. And again, I didn't read much more than a headline and maybe a half paragraph that she's holding the knives to, like, protect her kids in case anybody came at them. What? Did you take it? Why was she holding the knives, in your opinion?

[Lunchbox]

I don't. I felt like the way he was trying to set it up was like she had crazy thoughts about, you know, going. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Just the way I. I don't know. So. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

And so that's how I read it is. He was saying. Yeah, she was, you know, she had these thoughts about, you know, like, chopping her kids up. Yes. That's what I thought he was trying to imply. And I was like, maybe he was.

[Bobby Bones]

I do not know. I guess my initial instinct as a mom is not gonna chop up her kids.

[Morgan]

Well, I mean, if she's already has some mental health issues and postpartum, like.

[Bobby Bones]

But also that mental health issue could be that people are gonna attack her kids.

[Morgan]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, all that's, you know, derived from probably some sort of mental illness.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but what it. What did he say? That she would stand above them.

[Bobby Bones]

Over them.

[Eddie]

Over them.

[Bobby Bones]

At the edge of the room.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

With a knife.

[Bobby Bones]

Knives. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I don't know. Like, you're protecting.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know anything. Unless in her mind, like, somebody's trying to get them and she's like, why she has knives? Or that she's one step away from it.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Either way, it ain't good, but. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think I'll buy that book. I don't think I have any interest in a Kevin Federline book. Morgan Story.

[Morgan]

I sure did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you very much. Eddie did yours.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I did mine.

[Bobby Bones]

Arwen, Amy did yours. Lunchbox did his. Okay, I'll do mine. The Ocean's Eleven prequel. They're talking about that Bradley Cooper and Margot Robbie are going to star in the Ocean's Eleven prequel. Underrated movies. And they are rated really good, even great, but underrated as far as just how freaking good they are. Oceans has a new film. No George Clooney, no Brad Pitt, no Julia Roberts. The Ocean's Eleven prequel has been announced and it'll be directed by Lee Isaac Chung. One of my favorites. Oh yeah, he did Twister.

[Eddie]

One of the best.

[Bobby Bones]

He did Twisters? I don't know what he did. He did. Oh, he didn't do Twister. No, the second one. Oh, Variety. I don't know. They act like that was a big deal.

[Eddie]

You know what's cool though is I remember watching Oceans, Ocean's eleven when it first came out and they do have a kind of pre story because there's a reason they all know each other. And I've always wondered, I'm like, oh, what is the history that they have? And now like years later they're actually making a movie. That's kind of cool because Brad Pitt and George Clooney knew each other from a past some high school years.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know what the plot is? Because I mean, if they're not in it. It's weird though. Yeah, it has to be something completely different.

[Eddie]

Oh really? Playing a version of them, like a younger version, which I think.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that you'd be much.

[Eddie]

Younger than him at this point.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Bradley Cooper's like 55 or like 50 now.

[Eddie]

Good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you seen what he looks like recently? No. His face is weird.

[Eddie]

Oh, really? Dude, that's everybody you know who looks really different is Dax Shepard. Like I saw him on a tick tock clip and it's like he just looks. I mean we all are getting older, but I mean he looks like he's.

[Bobby Bones]

Different or like plastic.

[Eddie]

Just both. Like got older and then tried to maybe fix some stuff, you know Kendall Jenner?

[Bobby Bones]

Not Kendall. Kris Jenner. You know she got her facelift. I wrote on Twitter, that's not a facelift, that's a new head. Somehow she got a new head. It's awesome.

[Eddie]

I would do that.

[Bobby Bones]

God dang. 70 something and she looks like she's 40.

[Eddie]

It's pretty amazing.

[Morgan]

How do we see a new Bradley Cooper 20, 25 and then who's he dating?

[Eddie]

Hadid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Gigi Hadid.

[Morgan]

That would give me a recent photo.

[Eddie]

I thought I saw him recently talking about the Eagles and he looked normal to me.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh man, he looks like he has got zombie. Like he's a zombie in his eyes. May just be a bad picture. Yeah, man, that's what's up Lunchbox. You have any thoughts on that?

[Lunchbox]

No, I, I, I did see, Eddie, you were talking about Dax Shepard. He does. He looks older. He definitely looks older. I saw a clip of him. I don't even know what he was doing. I guess he was on some podcast. Oh, he was interviewing Charlie Sheen.

[Eddie]

That's what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

He is older.

[Eddie]

That's what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, dude, I got gray in a beard here.

[Eddie]

I know, but I mean, he looks how I feel, you know? Like, I feel tired and he looks tired.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not saying he looks like he's had a big facelift?

[Eddie]

I don't know. I can't tell. It almost looks like, who are you talking about?

[Morgan]

This picture where he looks tired.

[Bobby Bones]

But you saw him in a video.

[Eddie]

No, he was in a video. He was interviewing. Like, Like, Lunchbox said Charlie Sheen and I had to do a double take. Like, I want to make sure that's Dax Shepard because it sounds like him, but it didn't really look like him.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think you look older?

[Eddie]

I do. I do look older. I know I look older, but I feel worse than I look. Does that make sense? I feel sometimes I'm just like, oh, my gosh. I know I look like crap today. And I look in the mirror, I'm like, not too bad because I feel terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

So your insides are terrible, but your outsides are just bad?

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, I feel tired. Just at the end of the day, I feel like.

[Bobby Bones]

You can fix that.

[Morgan]

Do you still drink a lot?

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Like, do you drink at all?

[Eddie]

I drink, like, during the week. I'll have a glass of wine. Weekend, I'll have about three beers, max.

[Bobby Bones]

So one glass of wine a week.

[Eddie]

On average, like on a Wednesday? Kind of my day.

[Bobby Bones]

On the weekend, average, three beers, average at once.

[Eddie]

Oh, Saturday night, I don't drink on. Maybe I'll have a glass of wine Friday night, but I'll drink. No, no, no. I won't drink on Sunday at all.

[Morgan]

He's like.

[Bobby Bones]

And then, yeah, it's multiplying. It's a gremlin.

[Eddie]

Your gremlin is depending on what's happening, you know, going to a party.

[Bobby Bones]

On average, how many glasses of wine a week?

[Eddie]

Two, on average.

[Bobby Bones]

That just jumped a whole hundred percent.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you said one. Now it's about 10 seconds.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not saying that's even. That's a bunch more. But it went from one to two. How many beers a week? Three now. Really?

[Eddie]

Three. Okay.

[Morgan]

And then two glasses of wine a week and three beers yeah. So one drink a day, so five drinks a week.

[Eddie]

Sure. But it's not. I'm not consuming them daily.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you.

[Eddie]

So I don't know, it's. I mean, it's.

[Morgan]

Well, my question behind that is just. Well, as we age, like, I don't know about you, but a drink just hits me different than it used to. So multiple drinks might be also hitting you different to where it impacts. Like, I've seen other people talk about it online too, that it's sort of like, this used to not happen to me. Like when I was this age, this was no problem. But now something like in your 40s, it starts to hit you different and you have like two to three days of recovery after maybe even just two drinks the night before. So I'm just wondering if that could be contributing because it sort of happens to people like that. It's like they never felt that way and then suddenly they're like, wait a second.

[Bobby Bones]

Minus sleep, same. But I don't drink, but I don't get sleep. It's 40% worse than it was even three years ago. Like, my body just doesn't react the same with limited sleep.

[Morgan]

It was like to be able to go, go, go.

[Bobby Bones]

Like 42 or so I started to go, oh, I can't, I can't do this at the same pace because I would get sick quicker. Beside hit the wall so much earlier. So. Yeah, dude, we're just getting older, man.

[Eddie]

I think two allergies kind of get me because like some days I'll wake up, like, I feel like I have a hangover, but I didn't have anything to drink.

[Bobby Bones]

I only had three glasses of wine the night before. It's slowly multiplying.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Alright, that's it. Lunchbox. Good luck.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you. Man. I need a, I need a. I need to get my energy back. I'm getting tired. I've been.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't get it right now. Don't fight for the energy right now. You're gonna burn out again. Keep the energy low. Go get your tuxedo on. Keep the energy low on your drive over to where you're going, that's when you start to turn it up a little bit. And don't be, don't, don't shoot out of a cannon right when you get there, warm it up a little bit because you will hit a second wall. You've already hit one, you'll hit a second wall. It's hard to bounce back from that second wall. First of all, you can fight. Get that second Win. It's hard to get a third wind. That's the hardest wind.

[Eddie]

Third.

[Bobby Bones]

Third win is the hardest win. I love that song.

[Eddie]

Third.

[Bobby Bones]

Third win is the hardest.

[Eddie]

You got this, though, Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I know I do. I mean, it's crazy. October 15, 2025, the day that changed my life.

[Eddie]

Oh, I had to look up the day.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't realize that. Hey, before we go, I got a couple Eddie things. One's about Lunchbox. Want to make sure Lunchbox is here. You are starting to get really concerned about Lunchbox. Yeah, because.

[Eddie]

So, you know, a couple days ago, I came to you guys, told you that I saw him in the parking lot sleeping in his car before work. Whatever. He says, I wasn't sleeping.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm surprised he was in a car.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

And not his bike.

[Eddie]

And I'm just like, why are you sitting in your car before work? Like, are you just getting some extra sleep or whatever? Well, that's. That's whatever. Then the other day, I heard him on the phone. I think he was talking to his wife. Sounded like he was talking to his wife. And I heard the words, I think I'm just gonna have to go to rehab. I'm not kidding, guys. He said, I just can't take anymore. I think I have to go to rehab.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox, anything you want to say to that?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, so. I mean, there's something wrong with me. Like, I told you.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Morgan]

Can't be rehab real.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead. Is.

[Lunchbox]

I have this terrible pain in my left side. Like, it's a sharp pain. Like, anytime I run or exercise, it is, like, debilitating. Like I cannot figure it out. And, like, I can. I'll play soccer or whatever, and sometimes I can run. And then after the game, five minutes after sitting down, I can barely walk back to the car. Like, I'm in so much pain. And so I have no idea. So I went to the doctor and did a CT scan, and they didn't. He. And he said, oh, I don't see anything. It's, you know, whatever. And so then I'm going to rehab. Now I'm going to physical therapy to try to figure something out, man. Because it is very uncomfortable.

[Morgan]

So physical therapy, rehab.

[Eddie]

That's not what it sounded like. It sounded like, I can't take anymore. I have to go to rehab.

[Morgan]

Well, he can't take the pain anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the other thing? Settle a debate for me.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was talking to a friend of mine, and he was going to Charlotte. And I was like, oh, dude, I was just in Charlotte. And he said, you were. I'm like, yeah, I had a connecting flight there. He's like, oh, that doesn't count. You weren't just in Charlotte. And I was like, yeah. If I'm physically there, even though I was just there for an hour to get from one plane to another, I was physically in Charlotte. He's like, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So I think that once you're in. Even if you're just at the airport and you went to a city, like, if I connected in Frankfurt, Germany, I went to Frankfurt. I've been there.

[Morgan]

I've sort of wondered this. So way back when I went to Kenya, we stopped over in Ethiopia and had a major delay. Major delay.

[Bobby Bones]

Same thing, Same type of thing.

[Morgan]

But we were in the Ethiopian airport for, like, seven hours.

[Lunchbox]

Boom.

[Eddie]

You've been there.

[Morgan]

I never left. But have I been to Ethiopia?

[Bobby Bones]

I'd like to give an opinion on this.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you, like, officially been within the boundary? Yes. Can you claim it?

[Eddie]

No, dude, you were there because you.

[Bobby Bones]

Haven'T been in the city. You've. You're. You're basically in a hub. If you leave and you drive into the town.

[Morgan]

Okay, yeah.

[Eddie]

So if you're driving, say you're road tripping and you drive through Charlotte.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you've been through Charlotte.

[Eddie]

You went.

[Bobby Bones]

You never left the walls of an airport, but physically.

[Morgan]

But you've been through Charlotte. I don't think if you're driving through, you can say, I've been there.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been through Charlotte. That's at least different. You've seen buildings, you've driven through. You've seen the streets, you experienced the traffic.

[Morgan]

But if you're at the airport in Charlotte, you're only seeing a building. You're in a building, and you can.

[Eddie]

See downtown from the airport.

[Bobby Bones]

If we're just talking about the airport, like, could you win an argument? Yes, I've been inside of Charlotte. But a lot of times the airports aren't within the city limits either, too.

[Eddie]

This seems like this one's outside of Charlotte a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

So I would say you can't officially claim it on your list of places you've been, unless you've actually been.

[Eddie]

So when you're at a party and someone's like, you guys been to Charlotte before and, like, been there?

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. You haven't.

[Eddie]

Oh, man, I disagree.

[Bobby Bones]

You got laid over there, but you haven't actually been in Charlotte.

[Eddie]

That's too much info. I guess too much.

[Bobby Bones]

Then your answer is no, because I've been in Amsterdam, but I never left the airport, so I don't claim it of the places I've ever been. Yeah, so because you're just in a. You're just in a hub. It's nothing about that city.

[Eddie]

Amy, I think you should say you've been in Ethiopia.

[Bobby Bones]

It is pretty cool. Although this is not a hill I'll die on because I don't care enough. But I don't claim places that I haven't been out of the airport.

[Morgan]

Addis Ababa. Been there.

[Eddie]

Excuse me. Say that again.

[Morgan]

I think that's the capital of Ethiopia. I think that's where I was. Addis Ababa.

[Eddie]

Addis Ababa.

[Morgan]

Addis Ababa.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we are done. Thank you guys for being here. We hope you have a great day. Lunchbox, good luck and we'll check in with Lunchbox tomorrow. Otherwise. Yeah. Appreciate you listening to the podcast. We'll see you guys. Bye.
