[Amy]

The Bobby Bone Show.

[Eddie]

Comedian Devin Walker has announced his exit from Saturday Night Live. Amy, why? Why would I read that story?

[Amy]

Because he used to be our intern.

[Eddie]

You remember him?

[Amy]

Yeah, we've talked about him before.

[Eddie]

I know. Hold on. I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on.

[Eddie]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

There was an intern on this show that was on Saturday Night Live in Austin.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I need to see a picture of him again. Did we call him Devin? Because I don't remember. Yeah, he was intern Devon. I was friends with him. You were? Yeah, I still have his number.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was on snl.

[Eddie]

Let me read you the story. We've talked about this before.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember that.

[Amy]

We talked about it, I think when he joined and then now we're talking about when he has departed.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Comedian Devin Walker has announced his exit from snl. Can you bring that over here? Is that possible to walk that over here?

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

After Lorne creator teased a cast shake up, Devin Walker, 34, shared the surprising news on Instagram Monday night. Oh, yeah, I remember him. We used to have. We used to be an intern machine. We had a lot because they wouldn't let us hire anybody, so we'd have like 40 interns. Oh, yeah, I remember him. We called him Devin.

[Amy]

Intern.

[Eddie]

Yeah, intern. Well, that makes intern Devin. That makes sense. Yeah. So he compared his job on the NBC sketch comedy show to a relationship, admitted that it's toxic at times to me. Jobs in this industry feel like a bunch of little marriages he began. Some of them last for a long time if we're lucky, but most of them are fleeting, permanent until they are not. That's the deal. You know what it is when you sign up? The comic added he's happy he had the opportunity and he's getting ready to go overseas. Yeah. Anyway, that's congratulations to him. Three years on snl. That's awesome.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

He was just starting comedy whenever he was an intern. Really? Yeah. New York Post with that story. Did he ever get on camera? Was he just a writer? He was on camera, yeah. He's part of the cast. He was, yeah.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Eddie]

I just see clips he would do, like Shannon Sharpe. Oh, that's cool. They probably didn't use him enough. Yeah, maybe. I don't know. I'm like, super excited that he made it, but now he's leaving. It's like a weird feeling I have. I'm like, I'm so proud he made it. But it's also the announcement that he's leaving. Yeah. Congratulations to him. I wonder what he does now on the road. What's overseas vacation, I'm assuming. Oh, yeah, he does the iHeart podcast, too. He does. Yeah. Maybe I should get him on, like, the Bobbycast or something. That'd be cool. Be like, what up?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean by toxic? Get into those details.

[Eddie]

Also, just, like, how did he even get on there? He moved to New York City. Cause he was doing comedy in Austin and then moved to New York City. He was just doing a bunch of local clubs, met a bunch of cool people. A lot of the people he joined with were just people he would do shows with. So he knew people who knew people, then got an audition. He was funny enough to be recommended for the audition. I think he got, like, nailed it. Like, a spot on Comedy Central where he got some attention. That's so cool. Yeah. I want to be like, congratulations. But he just left.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It's weird. Dynamic. Yeah. The ideal age is to hit six money milestones. Here we go, everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna make us feel sad.

[Eddie]

Start saving for retirement age 27.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm what, 46?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Both of you guys. Retirement planners say if you start anytime in your 20s, you're doing great. Research shows that younger people are saving earlier now. Research shows that typical Gen Z workers started saving at 20, compared to millennials who started saving at 26. Gen X at 30. That would be you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And boomers at 35. But even the boomers, which were before you started saving earlier.

[Amy]

I know, but, I mean, the next best time is.

[Bobby Bones]

Is now. What's cool, though, is is I got my kids on it. Like, my. My oldest.

[Eddie]

They're saving for retirement. For your retirement.

[Bobby Bones]

They're already saving. Like, my oldest son has $7,000 in saving already.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

He's only worked for two years. Because we've. We've instilled this, like, all right, this is what you spend, this is what you give away to charity, and this is what you save. And, like, you don't know that. I know, but it's kind of like you teach your kids what your mistakes were, you know, and, like, so they don't do that again.

[Eddie]

Got it?

[Amy]

No, I think that's good. Yeah. My daughter, she's, like, trying to pick up extra shifts, and I told her, no more. Priority is school and then work. So we got. We got to cut back. She's. Because she's so tired and she's like, I need to save. I need to save. And I'm like, okay, calm down.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, who needs school though, right?

[Amy]

You also need to, like, finish strong your senior year. And you, your dad and I are providing certain things for you, so don't stress out. I think it's good you have this work ethic, but you have to know when to prioritize sleep as well.

[Eddie]

It's so great, though, that you have to pull her back from that instead of push her on that. Like, if you find somebody that's kind of lazy, that has a bad work ethic, medium work ethic, you can, for a short period of time, motivate them through reward or fear to do better. But motivation doesn't last. Motivation comes in spurts. So it's even with, like, people I hire, it is so much better to have to take people and go, like, hey, hey, you're good. Take a step back. You're doing way too much. And that is not beneficial to the overall product. Instead of going, hey, can you do a little more? Because that never lasts. So, yeah, that's pretty awesome that you have to pull her back.

[Amy]

Well, she's putting some in savings. And then also now new rule. Starting September 1st at the first of the month, for the remainder of months that she lives with us, she has to write us a check.

[Bobby Bones]

Parent tax.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, I guess she's not gonna be writing us a check. Like, what are you saying?

[Eddie]

You're charging her rent?

[Bobby Bones]

What is that?

[Amy]

It's not for rent. It's for car insurance.

[Eddie]

Adoption. Now she's gonna start charging her for all the adoption fees?

[Amy]

Yeah, the adoption fees. There were a lot of fees, right? They were. There were a lot of fees. No, it's towards her, like car insurance. It's her. We showed her certain things that she's going to start to be responsible for at some point, so she might as well get used to, understand. Oh, her cell phone bill, just, like, bits and pieces. Like, she's paying towards that. And so there's a set number at the first of every month that now she transfers to us. So I'm about to get paid September 1st.

[Eddie]

Okay, let's. Let's look at this. What? Amy's now asking for money, but she's also making her daughter work less.

[Amy]

No, she works enough.

[Eddie]

No, less working, but pay more money.

[Amy]

No, we agree her hours are fine. And we looked at what she would earn per month at her job based on her scheduled hours and what she would owe us at the first of the month, it is all doable. She'll have extra to spend on herself. She'll have extra to put in savings, and then she has to pay us. Well, if she's picking up more shifts and trying to, you know, adding more to the hours we already agreed upon. And that's where I'm like. And then she'll be like, oh, I'm so exhausted. And I'm like, well, you need to know how to balance, because she also has to study and.

[Eddie]

No, I hear you.

[Amy]

You know, it's like, also. But this is good.

[Eddie]

Also. We're gonna charge you more.

[Amy]

She can learn. It's not. I don't know how to put it. But it's not rent.

[Eddie]

You have four kids, and that has often been your excuse as to why you can't save.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, our day to, like. What is your day to day spending is like, outrageous. Just because we have four kids.

[Eddie]

When you see someone like Thomas Redd, who's having a fifth kid now, well.

[Bobby Bones]

But he's rich.

[Eddie]

Sure, but what do you think about the idea of having five kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, chaos. Like, chaos. Like, my house is so chaotic, and there'll be times where I have to tell my wife, like, I'm leaving for two hours because I can't take it.

[Eddie]

Wait, if it's so chaotic, doesn't she need you there?

[Bobby Bones]

No, because she doesn't care. The noise does not bother her. Me, my sensory overload. I can't take it.

[Amy]

So she doesn't ever be like, hey, I gotta leave for two hours. I can't take this.

[Bobby Bones]

For different reasons. Like, I'm just.

[Eddie]

What if you both did the same time?

[Bobby Bones]

Leave them there?

[Eddie]

You didn't know, but you both leave for two hours thinking the other person had it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, that hasn't happened yet. But it's just. It's just so loud, dude. It's like a. Four boys and I. If maybe we had two girls, two boys, it'd be a little different, but four boys? They're just animals. And they wrestle. All you hear is thumping upstairs, something breaking, and, like, I just have to leave sometimes. So five kids, dude, that's outrageous.

[Eddie]

Do you think. And I haven't asked them, but do you think they're trying until they get a boy?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they have all girls.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, that's a good.

[Eddie]

They have four girls. It just feels like that's a lot of doubling down. And if you miss, that's quite the commitment for a miss.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet that's got to be it.

[Amy]

Because what I don't think that's it.

[Eddie]

You sure?

[Bobby Bones]

I hear dads talk about that all the time. Like, I'm not stopping until I get a boy.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, that. I think they're just.

[Eddie]

I don't think I would ever try happy for whatever. Regardless, If I had 1, 2, or 3, I don't think I'd ever try more just to hit it. Hit another sex. Because you could also not hit that.

[Bobby Bones]

Sex forever and ever.

[Eddie]

And then that's. Again, that's. If you wanted to try to have another kid. I get it. That's awesome. Have another kid. But man, to try just to hit another sex feels like quite the gamble. Because that means if you don't, you're probably gonna try again. Yeah. Like, you're bringing kids in just to have a certain type of kid.

[Amy]

But also they've already adopted. So if they wanted a boy when they just adopt a boy.

[Eddie]

Sure, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Amy]

Maybe. I mean, that would be a surefire way to go.

[Eddie]

Man, five kids seems crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It is crazy, man. Why? You know, my mom had like 13 brothers and sisters.

[Amy]

Same my dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's crazy. Yeah. Like, how did you imagine the mom yelling at the kids, like, what's your name? I forgot your name. Like a lot of kids.

[Eddie]

A couple things. One, that's a little bit the olden days.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then two, both Mexican.

[Amy]

Well, they were white, but they were in South Texas.

[Eddie]

See, Dilly.

[Amy]

Well, I gotta say, my dad was the youngest of. And some of them weren't. They weren't all biological. Like, she took in some kids too, but they. My dad considered them like siblings.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

And so I think like seven of them. Seven.

[Eddie]

Well, different medium counts.

[Amy]

Well, I'm saying that's how many people. Kids were in their home because seven were birthed. And then they had. She like, adopted some, but I don't think it was legal or anything. But my dad was the youngest. And I think I saw. I don't know that in. His dad died when he was a newborn and his mom didn't have much gas in the tank, really, as to be a parent him. And I think that. I don't know, I feel. I wish my dad was still alive so I could talk to him about it. But I think that that was some of his issues that I think he. I wish he could have worked through, but I think he had, like, some neglect because there's so many kids and he didn't get the. Some of the attention that he needed. And that's where he sought stuff elsewhere.

[Eddie]

You know, you Never knew your grandpa.

[Amy]

Me?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No. My dad didn't even know his dad. He died. My dad was like one month old, I think, when his dad died.

[Eddie]

I don't think I knew that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is that a story that I've forgotten?

[Amy]

Well, you know he got run over by a watermelon truck.

[Eddie]

I did know that, but I didn't know your dad was.

[Amy]

He was. My dad was an infant. My dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Christmas long dad.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Now, my dad, Amy's dad, got run over by a watermelon or grandpa. Amy's grandpa got run over by a.

[Amy]

Watermelon truck in Dilly, Texas, where they have a watermelon statue.

[Eddie]

Daily Texan. Where they have statue.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's like in the middle of town, they got a big watermelon. You can go take a picture with it.

[Eddie]

But it's not like a statue dedicated to your grandpa.

[Amy]

No, it's just that.

[Eddie]

That'd be a weird one.

[Bobby Bones]

You should make one of those, Amy. Go back and buy one.

[Eddie]

It's like a truck running over a guy.

[Amy]

Oh, but fun fact. My dad hated watermelon, of course. Hated it because in the summer when it would get real hot and some of them would just, like, rot, I guess there's a certain smell.

[Eddie]

I would hate it. Because the truck ran over my dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Amy]

Oh, well, that's what I thought you.

[Bobby Bones]

Were going to say.

[Eddie]

I'd be going through Phil, just chopping out, avenging the death of my freaking dad.

[Amy]

Tragic stories where he was unloading watermelon in his. Sort of on a hill, and the truck went out of the brake, went no longer in park, and it just knocked him over and then rolled over him.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry.

[Eddie]

That's crazy. Hopefully it was, like, quick.

[Amy]

Yeah, you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, hopefully it was super quick. Arkansas. Keith had his truck do that once. He wasn't behind it, but it sank in the lake.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, was he backing up a boat.

[Eddie]

And it wasn't all the way. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Those are terrible videos. I've seen those.

[Eddie]

Well, so this is exactly what happened. It was a ramp that didn't have long enough parking for a truck and a trailer after you backed the boat in. And we used to do it two man, where he'd back the boat in and I would be back on the boat. You back it out, Drive it up. But what happened was he backed it in. He's by himself running. One man. And you have to then go and take the trailer off and then unhook it and then park the truck beside the trailer. It's the whole Process to put in at this one launch spot. And he did it. And the truck wasn't. And it rolled right in. He jumped on top of it. And the people that were there saw him, like, on top of the truck, trying to get in. It just sank like. He's lucky he wasn't run over.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because he tried to save it.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they get the truck out?

[Eddie]

And they towed it out, but it was dead.

[Bobby Bones]

It didn't work anymore.

[Eddie]

Total dang flooded. Oh, I have more money markers here.

[Amy]

Oh. So it's 27.

[Eddie]

27 is when you should plan your retirement.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

When you should start.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Then what?

[Eddie]

To land your dream job. 29 years old. Dang. I landed mine at 17. 18. Small version of it. Yeah. But. Yeah. What would your dream job would have been, Eddie, had you not come here?

[Bobby Bones]

My dream job, I think early on was, like, probably making a. Making movies like Hollywood or something. Or a rock star.

[Eddie]

Ish.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

I don't think a rock star is a dream job. Yes, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

100%. Being a rock star is a dream job.

[Eddie]

I feel like that's like a sex symbol. A sex symbol is not a job.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, like, how about just being in a band?

[Eddie]

Like a success, Being a professional musician. Yeah, I think would probably be it.

[Bobby Bones]

That probably would have been it. Yeah, that probably would have been it.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Amy]

You stay at home, Mom.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that was.

[Amy]

I mean, that's what it was at that age for sure. And I've shifted.

[Eddie]

No, obviously.

[Amy]

No, obviously I've shifted, but yeah, I was quoted in my yearbook. I don't know. It was like my senior year. It's like, highlighted on one of the pages, like, where do you see yourself in 10 years? And I was like a housewife, I think.

[Eddie]

They asked me that question in my yearbook in, like, 11th or 12th grade. I don't know if it was 10 or 20. My answer was not here.

[Amy]

Oh, wow. Good answer.

[Bobby Bones]

And you did that. You got out of there.

[Eddie]

That's, you know, what kind of arrogant. You know, it's written in the. And I thought that was so funny. It's like, where do you see yourself? I'm like, not here. I don't know that I like that answer now. I think I should have been a little nicer about it. Yeah. But that was my answer. Lunchbox you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's easy. Real world, man.

[Amy]

Oh, I think he's sick.

[Eddie]

Real world. Do you have a. Do you have a goober in you?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm good. Probably shouldn't eaten the dairy. This Morning and ate some yogurt.

[Eddie]

And that's a little nasally right now.

[Lunchbox]

And so I would say Real World and then parlay that into the challenge. That was my dream job and it never worked out.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Real World does not exist at all anymore, right?

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Eddie]

No, I think in no capacity.

[Lunchbox]

Nothing. They don't film it at all. There's no more. Like, we do Real World. We get seven strangers, put them in a house. They don't do it.

[Eddie]

You know, what I was watching yesterday is pretty tragic. Was. I forget. Kelly Wolf. Scott Wolf. Anybody watching this on Tick Tock?

[Amy]

No. Oh, it's bad. I've just seen headlines.

[Eddie]

It's bad. I watched her have a mental breakdown in reports yesterday. I don't know why she recorded it and put it out. Who was she? So Scott Wolf was an actor from what show?

[Lunchbox]

Party of Five.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Eddie]

She was on Real World New Orleans. So they were married and there's been, like, restraining orders and they have kids. And so I was watching yesterday, he had the kids and he, like, brought them over, but she's recording with her phone and she's like screaming at him and telling the kids she loves them. And he's like, kids, let's just go. Let's just go. And then she continues to post and she's. It. She's having a. A breakdown, but she just keeps putting stuff up on the Internet and it's like, hey, this stuff happens to people, and hopefully you get the right help. But somebody needs to be there to go stop putting this on TikTok.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, like, like shut her account down. Like her take her phone and delete the app.

[Eddie]

I know it sucks because she's struggling. I don't know the dynamic because I'm not behind those walls. But from what I saw yesterday, the three. And then she posted another video on Instagram. I don't even follow this story. I. If you stay on one video for six seconds, it's gonna feed you every video ever made about it. And so I was down and I was watching it all. And so when it was a day, we should have been celebrating Taylor and Travis. I'm celebrating. Yeah. I mean, I'm watching the tragedy of. Of what's happening with them.

[Bobby Bones]

So you missed out on all that?

[Eddie]

No, I'm just over. It's just. It's just too much. It's too much. I wish it would have been laid out differently, the Taylor and Travis. I wish that because there's some overexposure happening right now that she does her album gives us A few months break and then comes back and does it. There's just. I don't. It doesn't matter. The celebrity, whomever it is, if they're in my feed all the time, I get annoyed. I just become. It's just too much. And so they're everywhere and can't hate them for it. She's the most famous person. Well, top five most famous people in the world. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, who would be on top? Who would be.

[Eddie]

Trump.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Politicians.

[Eddie]

Ronaldo Messi.

[Bobby Bones]

He's pretty famous. They're pretty famous. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I put all them in a category. I mean, we don't really get the Ronaldo Messi because we're America and we don't really do football. We do. We don't do football. We do football. Yeah, but worldwide, but everywhere else.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But she also could be more famous than them. But I'm saying they're in that same tier. A category. Obama, the last couple of presidents. Not Biden, but the last couple of presidents. That's not Biden.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy that Obama's still more famous than Biden.

[Eddie]

Obama, first black president ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And was very young when he went in. You forget how young. Like, think about Bill Clinton going. He was in his 40s. Right. When's like 46 or something. I'm 45. That's crazy. I'm not sure how old he was, Mike, if you can fact check me on that. But Obama was 47. Yeah. When he was inducted. Inducted, Like a hall of fame, whatever you call it.

[Bobby Bones]

What's that called?

[Eddie]

What do you call it?

[Bobby Bones]

It's when he inaugurated, inaugurated, same thing.

[Eddie]

Got it. Inducted.

[Bobby Bones]

Inducted.

[Eddie]

Mike, George W. Bush was 54 when he was inducted. What about Clinton pulling it up. Clinton was 46.

[Amy]

46. He looked older. I mean, those are just.

[Eddie]

No, no, we were younger, so they looked older.

[Bobby Bones]

He had white hair, though.

[Amy]

I don't know that it was white. White yet.

[Eddie]

No, I think when we were like, everybody looked 100.

[Amy]

Okay, good point. It's like our perspective has shifted.

[Eddie]

Yes. Yeah.

[Amy]

He definitely just seemed older. Vibes. But also Everybody in the 90s seemed older. Like 40. Mid 40s. In the 90s is different than mid-40s now.

[Eddie]

Look at the Golden Girls. They were like 47, 50.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. They look so old.

[Eddie]

And they were playing old people. Yeah.

[Amy]

They were portraying.

[Eddie]

To buy your first home. Age 30.

[Amy]

Okay. So 27, 29, 30.

[Eddie]

I bought my first home at 23, I think. And I went to my general manager and I was like, should I buy a house? Like, is that I'm scared to buy a house because this job, everybody gets fired all the time. And I was like, I don't want to, like, buy. I never bought anything. I don't want to buy a house and get fired. What? It's not like they would have told me the truth.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because they can't be like, you know what? I'd recommend against that because we got some. Some budget cuts coming. And he was like, yeah, go for it. So I bought a house. It was crazy. It was awesome, though, to buy your first house, except for when you have to start fixing stuff, because then that costs money.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

I'm still. That still sucks. But at first, you're like, you go through that process of signing all those papers that is overwhelming the first time you sign all the papers on a house.

[Amy]

Yeah, but, I mean, I didn't read them all.

[Eddie]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody reads them all.

[Amy]

Somebody reads them all. Somebody out there.

[Eddie]

You pay people to read them before you go in the room.

[Amy]

Sure. But I bet there are some people that just cannot help themselves, and they have to read everything before they sign it.

[Eddie]

I don't want to be in. I don't want to be in that room.

[Bobby Bones]

That would take forever.

[Amy]

I know. I just feel like I don't know who those people are, but they're out.

[Eddie]

There to become Debt free. Age 41.

[Amy]

Debt free, including a mortgage.

[Eddie]

I don't think so, because I feel like a mortgage. Because as you pay a mortgage, you're actually building equity for the most part. Let me read this. There are different kinds of debt. Not all are bad like a mortgage, which can work like a huge piggy bank that gets more valuable. So I'm going to say except for a mortgage.

[Amy]

Okay, thank goodness.

[Eddie]

But even to say don't have a car payment is kind of crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's tough.

[Eddie]

It's kind of crazy. Cause as soon as you pay off your car, you just want to go get a new one. I mean, that's almost how it. My story's a bit different now, but as soon as you pay off a car, it's like, well, okay, now I can move up in the world. Paid this one off. Don't have a payment. So. Yeah, you have a car payment. Amy.

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Look at you.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job, Amy.

[Eddie]

Look at you.

[Amy]

Oh, thank you. Well, that was part of my shout out to Ben. This is part of my marriage.

[Eddie]

Shout out to ex husband. Oh, he paid for the car for you?

[Amy]

No, no, but we. I guess that is one takeaway from our marriage. He handled our finances and he paid things off. He was very diligent at paying things down quickly. And so by the time we divorced, we had our cars paid off and we divided assets. All good.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I remember we joke about going to Amy's house. There's just like a dryer, but no washer. There's like a fork, but no spoon.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he took the silver.

[Eddie]

He took half. Finally, these are ideal ages to hit the money. Stone the milestones to retire.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, come on.

[Eddie]

Age 58.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's.

[Amy]

That's way better at 50.

[Eddie]

Retirement experts agree that it's a little early, but if you have money saved, why not?

[Amy]

Yeah, why not?

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

But also, 58 now feels different than 58. I feel like a lot of people we know now. We know. I think that we know, like, the more you stay active and more you keep going and doing, the longer you'll live.

[Eddie]

Aren't you.

[Bobby Bones]

Your boyfriend?

[Amy]

Yeah. He's 52.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

He's 52. She's trying to convince him, stay active. He is very active. He'll stay active. Like, I don't. I mean, he does want to retire one day, but he's almost there.

[Eddie]

Hey, listen, no shirt. Luke retired to, like 40, didn't he?

[Amy]

Yeah. Shirtless sleuth.

[Eddie]

Yeah, whatever his name is.

[Amy]

Yeah. But he just started a new company. I mean, yeah, he retired for a little bit, but only because he had a non compete too. And then after that ran out, I think he just. I ran into him in the freaking. Where was I? Cayman's.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Amy]

Yeah. We hadn't talked in a while. I mean, I ran into him a couple months ago at the airport in the Cayman Islands. We started texting and communicating. He was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I'm back in business now, starting a company. And I was like, oh, that's great, because it was just funny. He was my youngest friend to retire.

[Eddie]

He was in Amy's wedding.

[Amy]

He was in my wedding also. That's the company I worked for before I came to work with y'. All. Like, I left that job to come here and like everybody that, I mean, he ended up buying into the company easy.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Amy]

So they were all family. But then I was like, what if I had an opportunity to, like, eventually, like, buy in a little bit? And then I'd be like, I would be retired, too.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd be loaded.

[Amy]

Whoopsie.

[Eddie]

The people that retire at age 40, 45, they rarely stay retired because what drove them to get to the point to retire is also still in them.

[Amy]

Which is why he's Starting another company.

[Eddie]

It's more like you have enough money to take a break.

[Bobby Bones]

Just a little break.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then pursue something else you're super passionate about. Yeah. So there you go. You guys get to tracking those milestones. Want to play a few voicemails, Ray, Give me number four on the list here. Hey, Bobby, this is Arkansas David, man. I was just giving you a call. Listen to your show every morning in Boston. Just wanted to call and let you know that. Don't sweat it too much, buddy, because Arkansas is going to do really good this year, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So woo pig and appreciate your show. Bob, you have a good one, man.

[Eddie]

Couple things. His name is Arkansas David in Boston.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting.

[Eddie]

Now he sounds like my family. Sounds that the juxtaposition of him in Boston is pretty weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Maybe he's just working there or something temporarily.

[Eddie]

Because I feel like that accent is so strong in Boston and his accent is so strong from Arkansas. Holy crap. Worlds collide.

[Amy]

You know what? This Arkansas David, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, Arkansas Keith, your former stepdad, he's retired.

[Eddie]

Yeah. He's like 67.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And he's still.

[Amy]

What age did he retire, though?

[Bobby Bones]

Because he's not working.

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't think he's working at all. But he worked part time then for a while because he worked forever at warehouser. Like 30 years.

[Bobby Bones]

What is that?

[Eddie]

Oh, it's a mill. Sorry.

[Amy]

And then. And then he worked for the water company and the. Well, the town. Right, too. Like landscaping and whatnot.

[Eddie]

A screen went down behind me.

[Bobby Bones]

It did.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I think it's just. I think it's updated.

[Bobby Bones]

It says restart.

[Eddie]

Keep going.

[Amy]

I have an idea. Maybe Arkansas Keith can, like mentor Eddie and lunchbox or something. Because Arkansas Keith had to plan for this lifestyle. Like, he already wanted to hunt.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but he did a 401k through his job.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Through his, like city job or whatever.

[Amy]

And then he lives. He like lives a simple, happy life.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know how simple. He called me the day and I forgot to call him back.

[Amy]

Like he. It seems like hunt.

[Eddie]

Depending on. Depending on the year.

[Amy]

Yeah. I feel like.

[Eddie]

Let's see if he'll answer.

[Amy]

Hangs with his friends, family, probably plays little cards.

[Eddie]

I don't think he plays cards.

[Amy]

Really? I picture him playing cards.

[Eddie]

Hey. Hey. Okay, so you're on. We're doing the show right now, so you're on. So don't say anything. You don't. So we have a couple questions for you. Number one, do you play cards?

[Arkansas Keith]

Yes, I'm Bam.

[Eddie]

Amy was determined that you were like poker, you were a card player. And I was like, I don't think he's much of a card player.

[Amy]

Bridge?

[Arkansas Keith]

No, not very much.

[Eddie]

What game do you play?

[Arkansas Keith]

I play a little poker with bj.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Arkansas Keith]

We like to play stud poker.

[Eddie]

Poker, too, but you don't. Okay, so. Okay. He plays a little bit of cards. Fair enough. What age did you retire?

[Arkansas Keith]

67.

[Eddie]

What? Amy's. Amy saying something?

[Amy]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Is that shocking?

[Amy]

I thought it was.

[Eddie]

She thought it was younger earlier, but.

[Bobby Bones]

He looks younger.

[Amy]

Yeah, you look young, man. You look good. Tell us your secrets.

[Arkansas Keith]

Well, you know, I was part time, though, from 55. I didn't really work full time at. I. Semi retired, I guess. At 55.

[Eddie]

Is that because the mill closed or the water plant?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What part?

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, the mill. The mill closed and I went to work up the water plant, and I had a chance to, you know, go part time up there at the Corps of engineers, so I took it at 55, so.

[Eddie]

And Eddie and Lunchbox have no money, say, for retirement at all. And they are in their 40s, mid-40s. What do you think about that?

[Arkansas Keith]

I think that's not a very good idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Eddie blames it on. He has kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Four kids.

[Lunchbox]

Keith.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, That's. That's. That could be an issue. But, I mean, there's always some little something. You gotta get started doing something, you know?

[Eddie]

Keith started buying gold. You still have gold?

[Arkansas Keith]

I do, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Really? Like gold bars, Keith?

[Arkansas Keith]

No. Gold coins.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Arkansas Keith]

US Money reserve.

[Eddie]

Because if gold goes up, value of money goes down.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. We've heard that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Arkansas Keith]

You know what I'm thinking around 2017, I give like 1700 an ounce for it.

[Eddie]

What's it worth now?

[Arkansas Keith]

It's gonna be around three.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's a pretty good investment. Yeah, it is.

[Arkansas Keith]

It really is. It's kind of a simple transaction between you and a private individual. So when you sell it back to those people, you get that price for it and no taxes.

[Eddie]

So you gotta make it sound like prostitution.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, that's kind of something to be said about it. You know, anything you get tax free is.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's like. It's just you and one person deciding to do an adult thing. Yeah.

[Amy]

Between you and the individual.

[Eddie]

How's everything going?

[Arkansas Keith]

It's going good, man. How about the Cubs? I was trying to get a hold of you today. Some guys are wanting to know what you thought their World Series chances were.

[Eddie]

I think the brewers are really freaking good. I think the Dodgers have more weapons. I think the Cubs don't really have the pitching depth, but I'm enjoying the year. I'm going to go up there next week and watch a game.

[Arkansas Keith]

You know, I'm saying they're going to go two rounds deep in the playoffs. They're going to get in as a.

[Eddie]

Wild card, and I wish they would. I wish they'd pay Kyle Tucker.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, well, these. These guys are. These guys here are from Chicago, and, you know, they're 8 up in the cuff, so they don't really see the big picture.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we. Yeah, we've seen the big picture for many, many years.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, we have.

[Eddie]

What you think about Ryan Sandberg dying? That sucked, huh?

[Arkansas Keith]

Oh, man, that just broke my heart, boy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's younger than me.

[Arkansas Keith]

He's younger than me. Prostate cancer, too. I'll get all these.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, any hunting, fishing.

[Eddie]

Eddie wants to know what you've been catching or what you've been shooting.

[Arkansas Keith]

Well, you know, it's funny that you ask, because it cooled off really good, and Farrell and I came up to Twin Creeks and camped out last night and put the floaties out and we're doing a little squirrel hunting. We're not having much luck squirrel hunting. We took our.22, so.

[Amy]

Oh, little.

[Arkansas Keith]

But I've been doing a lot of striper fishing there below the dam, and it's been really good, man. I've been catching a lot of stripers, so send me a picture today, man.

[Eddie]

Are you. Are you catching Shadow do that before?

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, yeah. He's using shed.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What does he do? Does he use a net for the shed?

[Eddie]

He used a net.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah. Same old routine, you know. You know the story. That's the way we do it.

[Eddie]

Routine is I drive the boat and he'd be like, slow down. I wouldn't slow down. And then I'd almost throw him off the boat and. And then he'd be like, stop, stop, stop. And he'd chunk the net and it was a whole disaster. That was like me. Ages 11 to 15.

[Arkansas Keith]

Yeah, you gotta have a good boat driver, that's for sure.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it wasn't always that. Wasn't that. Okay, well, we're going to go back to the show, but we just wanted to call and check in.

[Arkansas Keith]

Okay, man. Brad, you did good here in front of me.

[Eddie]

Yeah, talk to you soon.

[Arkansas Keith]

All right, later.

[Eddie]

All right, bye.

[Amy]

My boyfriend's going to a Cubs game. What if y' all are at the same one? When I got to look at the calendar. But soon when I got. I got. I don't know. The cup schedule.

[Eddie]

What is your calendar like a paper calendar at home?

[Amy]

No, I have. I'm on my computer. I mean, also, I don't know that I have it in my computer. I think I'll probably like just me, and I'll text him.

[Eddie]

You said when someone. When you look at your calendar.

[Amy]

I said, well, I got to look at. Maybe if I look at the dates, like, I could count.

[Eddie]

I'm just kidding. I don't care.

[Amy]

It's coming up. One, two. Oh, I guess se. Oh, Saturday.

[Eddie]

No, it ain't us, then.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. Saturday. Whatever game is Saturday, September 13th.

[Eddie]

That ain't us.

[Amy]

Is that. I think. I guess it's the Cubs. I'm pretty sure it's in Chicago.

[Bobby Bones]

They have two teams in.

[Eddie]

He's like, I think it's baseball.

[Amy]

It's not the White Sox.

[Eddie]

Let's go, Ray. Play. Voicemail, number three.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Hey, this is Tamara in Louisiana. Was calling to ask if Abby ever received her free massage that Bobbi was gonna pay for. And I just feel like she's gonna have a great experience, and I can't.

[Amy]

Wait to hear how things are going or when.

[Eddie]

Love the show.

[Amy]

Bye.

[Eddie]

So that's more of a Scuba Steve question, because we were gonna work with a potential sponsor, but I'm not sure how that went.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba, it's in the black hole of sales. You know what that means? So, yeah, we're. We're trying to get that deal to close, which then we get her the gift card to go.

[Eddie]

Okay, so then let's put a expiration on if they can't do it, because I want to do the segment regardless. We weren't doing the segment for the sponsor. We were doing the segment because Abby was like, I had a weird experience. And I was like, let's send you somewhere good. And then you were like, hey, if we're going to do this, we have a potential partner we could work with. So Today is the 27th. I'd ask Amy to look at her calendar, but I don't.

[Amy]

I have it right here. It's the 27th.

[Eddie]

Yep. If by September 8th, which is a little over one. No, it's two. Let's say the 10th. Two weeks from today. If we don't have an answer by two weeks from today, I'm just going to pay for it myself.

[Lunchbox]

All right, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Give him the deadline right now.

[Eddie]

Which is kind of annoying, but whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's just been.

[Amy]

Let's look at as a gift for.

[Eddie]

Abby, because, you know, I can write off none of the stuff that I pay for on the show. Like it. There's no. It's literally just me using my money because I'm not an independent contractor. So you can't write stuff off for a job that you're fully getting.

[Amy]

Are you sure you can't do gifts for employees? Doesn't fall under.

[Eddie]

It doesn't. I'm telling you something. I'm telling you I've tried to work out every. Every freaking thing possible.

[Amy]

Anything I buy y', all, I write down.

[Eddie]

Well, you can write it down, but you can't write it off.

[Amy]

I don't know legally, what happens to it. I told to keep a lock.

[Eddie]

It stays written down. You could exp. So what you're supposed to do if it's for your job, okay, maybe that's. You're a full time employee. You're supposed to be able to expense it and the job pays you back for it. But that doesn't happen here. I've not been able to get one expense.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah, I can.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, lunch. I feel like lunchbox expense is everything different.

[Eddie]

My stuff is like, okay, I'll do prizes. I'll do bits for the show. I think if it's something like show related, they're like, yeah, cool. They won't even give me a credit card. It's my show.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not good.

[Eddie]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't Scuba have a credit card, but not you.

[Eddie]

And I give people credit cards. Like my personal. Like my D has my credit card. I trust him with it because we have to do a lot of work stuff. And I'm like, hey, can you grab this? No problem. There's a few people that have my credit card, but the. The company will not give me the. Why not? Why not? I'm not going to use. I would never use it. Who else has one? Scuba, you have one. Who else has one for the show?

[Bobby Bones]

I believe it's just me.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

For the show.

[Eddie]

I don't care. It's probably better I don't have one. I've talked myself out of it.

[Amy]

You just said you wouldn't use it.

[Eddie]

I wouldn't use it. I don't need it. All right. Do you want.

[Bobby Bones]

I can ask.

[Eddie]

I don't. I don't. Now that I say that, I think I was just irritated in the early years. Yeah, this is like irritation that just sat there for a while. Now I'm not irritated anymore. But I think the early years, they wouldn't give me one because they were worried I would spend it and use it. And now I. I think I'm just still holding on to that. Which, by the way, you want to do Scuba Steve social minute. Social media minute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, let's do it.

[Amy]

What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Whatever it is, sounds good.

[Eddie]

It doesn't sound that good. It's not entertaining at all. So Scuba Steve is doing a segment called Is it Classic Rock? Which I thinks a good segment on his Instagram. You guys check it out. It's probably. I haven't looked at your data. I bet that that's your most viewed video, even though you didn't do it. Exactly what I think was the most effective. Is it your most viewed Scuba Tick Tock?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm checking right now. It is. Yes, it's the most viewed. It has a thousand 23 views, which is. But what's crazy, the views aren't that high, but it has lots of comments. 79 comments.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I was watching your other video of you throwing the first pitch out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You got to stop with the logo up front. It's like two seconds of like a Scuba Steve logo. As soon as that video starts, it needs to be what you want people to see. No logos because people will scroll. I scroll past. It was like, let me go back and see what it. Because the first two seconds is like the Scuba Steve show. On social media. We all flip so quick through stuff. If it doesn't catch our attention in one second, we're out. So people are going to see that logo and not stop.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll take the feedback because I hate social media and so I do it reluctantly. It's almost like putting a cat in a bath. So any sort of advice you have, I'll take it.

[Eddie]

Okay. Well, I like the logo.

[Bobby Bones]

The logo's cool.

[Eddie]

And then you put that at the end.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

If they make it to the end. Because people won't even see your content because you've given them two or three seconds of some logo. Just existing people aren't going to wait for that.

[Bobby Bones]

That makes.

[Eddie]

It's the exact reason they take off intros of TV shows. True.

[Bobby Bones]

That makes sense. Yeah.

[Eddie]

The. The theme songs aren't long. So you have a society issue. Yeah, society sucks.

[Lunchbox]

Society sucks, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

They need to slow down and enjoy things a little bit. So then what? So then you're going back to what you mentioned about Tick Tock. How I didn't do it right. How did you envision that I. That I should do that?

[Eddie]

I would have put the name of the song on the screen too. Okay, so is it cla? Is this song classic rock and Then I would have put down is whatever. Whatever the song. Was it Touch Pill Stand?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it is.

[Eddie]

Days of the New Touch Pill Stand up. Days of the New Touch Pill Stand is a classic rock. And then you go, is this song good enough to be considered classic rock? And turn it up immediately loud. Okay. And then that's it. You're gonna get a lot of engagement.

[Bobby Bones]

Gotcha.

[Eddie]

It's a great segment.

[Bobby Bones]

Now that makes sense to going back to, like getting to it quicker because I say it versus saying it just to have it. Okay. This is good feedback and I appreciate it. So I want it and I'm receiving it. So thank you. The next one will be different.

[Eddie]

I don't feel like I'm being hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, dude. No, dude, not at all. I'm seriously like, thank you for this because I don't. I don't understand social media. I don't get it. You're more, I guess, in tune with it. So I. I'm accepting the feedback and I appreciate it.

[Eddie]

If you don't hook at them in one and a half seconds, they're off. Just think about. Not you scuba, anybody. If you're trying to be an influencer or have any sort of account that think about how you consume it. You just scrolling and if it doesn't catch you, you don't wait. You don't have patience to see if a video is good, if it's not great and it doesn't go, this is what I'm about to do. And then do it. You're like, eh, I'm good. And then if you swipe off real quick, the algorithm's not gonna feed it back to them early. You may eventually get back to it, but not early. So, yeah, good luck. Let's go. Voicemail. Give me number one.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Ray, I'm sure you've already gotten so.

[Amy]

Many voicemails about this, but I would.

[Eddie]

Love to know how Lunchbox is feeling.

[Amy]

Now that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey have gotten engaged.

[Eddie]

Do you still think it's fake? Lunchbox? Is it just a publicity stunt?

[Amy]

Love the show.

[Eddie]

Bye, Lunchbox. Are you okay? You keep coughing into the like.

[Lunchbox]

No, I hit the cough button.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I think other mic are picking you up.

[Eddie]

Oh, like, are you sure you have dairy? It's dairy. I'm sure. If you're okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm great.

[Eddie]

Okay. You're at your thoughts on the voicemail.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's. It's still fake. I mean, I mean, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had a kid just to go through the contract.

[Eddie]

I mean, I think that was different. I think that was Tom Cruise trying to look normal.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was some weird.

[Eddie]

Like, I don't think it's fake.

[Bobby Bones]

They weren't ever in love. Tom Cruise and Katie, who really knows?

[Eddie]

But I do think that all the stories we've heard about him auditioning for Wives man is a bit bizarre.

[Bobby Bones]

Is bizarre.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So I don't think it's fake. I do think that it's pro. It probably didn't happen as we have been told it happened, but I don't think it's fake. But, yeah, big story.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it just seems so. I don't know, it just seems so concocted, everything about it. I mean, he's finally. He's finally allowed to post about her on Instagram and a week later they're engaged.

[Eddie]

I do think that them doing this a month out from the album, it's a bit coincidental. Coincident? No, not gross. I think they're. No, I feel. I'm happy for them. But if you're going, hey, do. Do cynic eyes on it, I will be like, okay. My cynic eyes tell me that it's way close to the album. And they probably a have already been engaged for a couple of months and waited to do this as the album cycle, which I do think is real. And I do think that she probably dictated the terms of the propose. Her surprise. Of course. She's brilliant. She's marketing strategic genius, and this is a big part of her brand. Right after the podcast, like, it just all.

[Amy]

But you would just hope that this is one of those things that maybe she could just not have her hand in so that she could.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you hope. I'm just. I'm too cynical. I'm too cynical because I've seen how. How the. The sausage is made way too many times.

[Amy]

Yeah, true.

[Eddie]

All right, let me do one more voicemail here. No, no, no more voicemail. Let's take a break. We're gonna break everybody and we'll come back in just a few minutes. Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this. Attention passengers.

[Amy]

The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[Eddie]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control. And they're saying, like, okay, pull this. Until this. Pull that, turn this. It's just. I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny. I'm Noah.

[Bobby Bones]

This is Devin, and on our new.

[Eddie]

Show, no Such thing. We get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence.

[Bobby Bones]

Those who lack expertise, lack the expertise. They need to recognize that they lack expertise.

[Eddie]

And then as we try the whole thing out for real. Wait, what? Oh, that's the run, right? I'm looking at this thing.

[Amy]

See?

[Eddie]

Listen to no such on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick?

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Well, it really depends on who you talk to.

[Bobby Bones]

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and.

[Amy]

Left a woman behind to drown.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News, it's Teddy Escapes, Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president?

[Eddie]

Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic.

[Bobby Bones]

Death and how the Kennedy machine took control.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

[Eddie]

The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs.

[Bobby Bones]

Violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines.

[Eddie]

And beyond the drama of America's royal family.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

Hey sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro tell you how to manage your money again? Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part. When you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now when you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates. And I would start shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months you can have this much credit card debt. And it weighs on you. It's really easy to just like stick your head in the sand. It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment free money advice, listen to Brown ambition on the iHeartRadio app. Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hola, it's Honey German.

[Eddie]

The Bobby Bones show, yesterday, about, I don't know, 1pm, started to feel pretty bad. Amy's been sick. She was gone for like a month. Eddie was out for a bit and I was like, oh, no, I'm getting it. And so I sent Eddie a text and I said, what were your symptoms? And you said, like, headache, chills, Feel.

[Bobby Bones]

Like I got hit by a truck.

[Eddie]

I started to feel That a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

I fought it, though.

[Amy]

Oh, what? Yeah, you. You have a superpower.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you cured?

[Eddie]

I don't know if I'm quite cured yet. I went to bed at like 4:30. That's good. I felt terrible and. Which is why, if you're watching this, we're in my home studio today. Because I was like, I don't know how I'm gonna feel. And if only have a couple hours, we'll come in, do the show, and I'll get out and go right back to bed. I feel a little better because I went to bed early. Been hydrating. I think I fought and won.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you think? Amy got me sick. I got you sick.

[Eddie]

I don't think you guys got.

[Amy]

I came to the studio, but I never saw you.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox got.

[Eddie]

But did you get sick during your vacation?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Okay, so then you got sick on vacation.

[Amy]

Well, sure. I don't know. When I came in contact with whatever I came.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It had to be on vacation then.

[Amy]

Yeah, like Sunday, I guess.

[Eddie]

Which means you wouldn't have given it to Eddie because you were already on vacation when you got it.

[Bobby Bones]

But wasn't she contagious when she walked in the building? What if she touched doorknob that I touched?

[Amy]

I think I only saw Mike D. And we had glass separating us.

[Eddie]

Big diff. Big, big time difference there. I think you probably got it from your kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably.

[Eddie]

I think Lunchbox always has it. Whatever he has now, he has something else today.

[Lunchbox]

I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

He blamed it on yogurt or I ate yogurt.

[Lunchbox]

I had dairy this morning. It's bad move when you're trying to talk. Gets kind of caught in your chest. That dairy is bad for you.

[Eddie]

Why'd you have it then?

[Lunchbox]

It's all I had. Wife hadn't been to the grocery store, talked to her.

[Eddie]

I don't know. It's too. It. It's too, like in there. Yeah, it's every day.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's been like that for a couple days.

[Eddie]

Years.

[Lunchbox]

How would you know? You haven't been here, Eddie.

[Eddie]

I do.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm always listening. Always. I'm always monitoring the show.

[Amy]

What.

[Eddie]

What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, even when I'm at home sick, I can watch what. What the studio is doing.

[Eddie]

Did you. Yeah, I know. Amy did. She would text me during the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, man.

[Eddie]

She'd be like, the show's too funny. Dang it.

[Amy]

Did you think that I said, y' all sound good. Oh, which is.

[Eddie]

She said, I said so much is good.

[Amy]

I'm like, oh, kind of a bummer because I'm not there, but yay, Yay for y'. All.

[Eddie]

Anyway, I think I'm like 75% good. As soon as I'm done today, I'm going back to bed.

[Amy]

But smart sleep is the best thing you can do for yourself because you don't get. I don't know how you do it. Like, I wasn't sleeping and that was hindering me getting better. And I'm like, how does Bobby do this? Like, I think here, I figured it out. I had a lot of time to.

[Eddie]

Think about it in that one speech. You figured out?

[Amy]

No, on my time off I thought about this. I just haven't shared it with you because I forgot. But I did text you that. Like, I don't know how you do it. And then I was thinking about it and I was like, oh, I know how he does it. It's because your body is constantly in that, that's your normal state. So like you're one of those people. Like, if you ever finally just like chill or rest, you'll probably get sick. Sick.

[Eddie]

It happens every vacation. Because really, if I. Yeah, if it's like a two week vacation. Yeah, I get sick every, every time. It annoys my wife because she knows, she knows I'm gonna get sick.

[Amy]

So that's how he does it. He's in a constant state of fight, flight, whatever. Probably your fight. You feel like your body's fighting all kinds of things all the time. Fight, flight, freeze, whatever it is. You're in a survival mode of sorts. And that's how you do it. You just keep. I think that's.

[Eddie]

I don't, I don't want to medal for it though. That's not.

[Amy]

I don't want to give you a medal. I hate part of my personality.

[Eddie]

I'm not like, I'm Mr. Guy that doesn't sleep. I. I don't. That's not me.

[Amy]

No, no, no. I hate it for you. I guess I'm just, I'm saying that's how you do it. Like without crashing out, as the kids say. Cuz, like I wasn't getting sleep and I was losing my mind.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it sucks sleep and water, man.

[Amy]

And you're a high functioning, low sleep person because of the survival mode.

[Eddie]

Imagine if I got real sleep, how funny it'd be.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dude, you'd be awesome.

[Eddie]

Oh my God. Can you imagine if we did the show at 3pm? I'd come in here, be freaking Chris.

[Bobby Bones]

Rock, but then you'd Be sick all the time.

[Eddie]

3:00Pm I know what would happen if I had no parameters on when I had to wake up. I would get back into what I think is a natural sleep cycle for me. Going to sleep at 4:30am, waking up at noon or 1 and missing out on most of life because everybody else gets a lot of their stuff done in the day and act action activities. I'd miss all that. And then I would be way more involved in video games. Oh yeah, that's where the action is at night. All overnight, my wife has really been giving it to me hard on video games.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you still playing?

[Eddie]

I only play with two people and that's Steve and Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

We have a league that we play.

[Bobby Bones]

Everyone else is out of the league.

[Eddie]

Well, that's what we've really been to. Three. Consistent.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And so yeah, we play. We play. We only play one game, college football, and we only play with each other, but we don't play against each other. We only play against each other like once every couple of weeks because it's the only time the schedules line up that way. But like I'm Arkansas and Mike signs is Oregon and Steve is Florida State. And so the schedules only have us playing every once in a while. But you play your game whenever you can get to it and it goes to the next game. And. And sometimes though, if it gets to the finals or like to the college football playoff, what happens is there's money involved. We gamble each season and so we stream the games. And so I have a stream. I don't like stream so people can watch. It's just because you have. Once you get into the money games, you have to have your stream up so people can make sure you're not cheating.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

So you have to be able to watch it. And so I'll be watching Mike Signs or Steve play on my phone and my wife's like, are you watching your friends play video games? And I'm like, yeah. She's like, I'm biting my tongue right now. And I'm like, why? She goes, because you're watch. You're watching another adult man in his.

[Bobby Bones]

40S play video games, but because you're making sure they don't.

[Eddie]

That's what I said. Like, we're gambling on this. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, you're monitoring more than watching them play a game.

[Eddie]

I've tried all the excuses, okay?

[Bobby Bones]

So it doesn't work.

[Eddie]

Doesn't work at all. She does not think. She's like, it's kind of gross.

[Amy]

Gross.

[Eddie]

So yeah, that's what's up. Is somebody hitting, like, a microphone or something? Something keeps rattling. Do you guys hear that? Mike, you do, right? I do, yeah.

[Amy]

Well, what is it? Because I don't know. Is it me?

[Eddie]

Probably, if we. If we had to.

[Bobby Bones]

It was Eddie earlier, but it was me earlier.

[Eddie]

It was Eddie. I'm watching Eddie. He's not touching anything. I can't see.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I don't think I'm touching anything.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not even moving. Yeah, could be lunchbox.

[Eddie]

It's not Lunchbox. He's not touching his mic.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but it could be him breathing. It could be the dairy in his throat.

[Eddie]

Well, the dairy makes other noises. We know those dairy noises.

[Amy]

Eddie's.

[Lunchbox]

Or it could be Eddie's fever acting up again.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I don't have a fever anymore.

[Eddie]

Mike, if you had to make a guess, maybe Amy's mic stand. Yeah, because she's, like, moving around, hitting it.

[Amy]

Oh, well, I like. Sorry. I'll stop.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you are shaking your foot.

[Amy]

I don't realize I'm doing that.

[Eddie]

I know, but you fought us when we said it was you.

[Amy]

No, I think I said, is it me?

[Eddie]

And then we said, yes. You're like, I don't think so.

[Amy]

Okay, I'm. I'm not moving anymore. And I shall remain still.

[Eddie]

Thank you. David Spade reveals a scary encounter with an autograph hunter who followed him home. He revealed on the Fly on the Wall podcast he had a scary encounter with autograph seekers after they followed him to his home. David Spade says he he armed himself with pepper spray and considered showing his gun to scare them off. He says they're not really fans. It's a business. And they followed him home.

[Bobby Bones]

David Spade has a gun. I'm surprised by that. I wouldn't expect to see him packing.

[Eddie]

Interesting. Maybe he doesn't and just says it to keep the next autograph people come into his house, but maybe he does. I don't know. I don't know who's got what. I know I got guns. Bring it, Mother.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, come get that.

[Eddie]

I don't want anybody to bring it. I don't want anybody to bring it. Stay. Keep it. Don't bring it. Don't bring it. Keep it. Please keep it. Yeah, that's scary stuff. Apple's iPhone 17 event is scheduled for September 9th, and I would say most of the events have been duds recently because the upgrades have only been, like, something in a camera. Something small. Right, Mike? The last couple to three. Yeah. Like, call waiting. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought we already had call waiting.

[Eddie]

Well, we're going back to the way you think it used to be.

[Amy]

How was it? Like, what? Like, you just click over.

[Eddie]

No, I think it was a joke. No, there was one where they added. Where, like, it shows, like, your voicemail as they're leaving the voicemail, and they were like, oh, yeah, check out this new feature. Yeah. Oh, you can also answer a voicemail. Yeah. Like, if they're leaving a voice. That's happened to me before where I'm like, hey, leave. I'm like, hey, just call into. Hello? What the. Huh? Who am I talking to? Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Cleanup is nice, huh? How long has that been around? Because I just started using it.

[Eddie]

Cleanup.

[Amy]

Or you hit the eraser Cleanup. Like, say someone's in the. In the background of a picture.

[Eddie]

Oh, I don't use that.

[Amy]

And you want to remove them. Like. So when I took Sashir to the Gracies, we have a really cute picture together, but there's this half of a woman, like, in the way or like, kind of just in the photo. And I was blowing it up to frame it at our house, and I thought, oh, this woman. And then my boyfriend was like, just use the cleanup or whatever, and he showed me, and I was like, what? What? This is a magic. It's like a magic eraser. I just touched the woman, it highlighted her, and she, poof, disappeared.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

Soon we're gonna be able to do that in real life. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Just erase people.

[Eddie]

There's a whole black mirror episode where if somebody. You can, like, block them in real life and you don't even see them anymore. Wow. That's what we're going.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool.

[Amy]

That. I mean. I'll show you the photo. You can't even tell.

[Eddie]

No, we believe you.

[Amy]

No, I don't. But it looks so good.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you started cleaning up your husband in pictures? Ex husband.

[Amy]

No. Why would I do that?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Just if you want a picture that's like, oh, don't want him in there without him.

[Amy]

No. Clean up a part of our life.

[Eddie]

I hear you.

[Amy]

We have a great relationship right now. I say right now because it hasn't always been that way, but it's good.

[Eddie]

If you just are quiet. She'll keep talking. I like it if. Okay, so the event, the Apple iPhone event, is September 9th, and the reason I think they are excited about this one is they're thinking it could be the Foldy iPhone finally. It's funny because all this stuff is things that Android had, like, five Years ago. Every time they come out with something new, they just stole it from them from, like, five, six, seven years ago. The thing that kept Android from dominating was they don't have the, like, infrastructure. The Apple being able to communicate with your laptop, with your phone, like, all that. That's why Apple's so great. The cloud.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And Android is not connected to any of that. I mean, if somebody is in a group text and they're Android and everybody else, an iPhone, it's. It takes the whole text to the side. There's like a green in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Random green Test. Is that 17? Does that mean 17 years of iPhone or.

[Eddie]

I don't think it means years. It's just the versions, but I don't think they do one a year. Starting 2007. Yeah, I don't know. 17 and 7, 4. So we're not quite there, but, I mean, that's almost. That's close, right? Pretty close. But, yeah. But I don't think it's specifically on the year Lunchbox. You didn't win last night, Powerball.

[Lunchbox]

No, I won six bucks.

[Eddie]

So that means. That means we get.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, you get nothing. I said if I win the Mega Million jackpot, if I win the big money, if I won the 700 and whatever million dollars, nobody hit, that's a good sign.

[Bobby Bones]

We wouldn't see Lunchbox here if you won, right? Obviously, he wouldn't come.

[Eddie]

He might come in late, pee everywhere, be like, f you guys. Like, he might show up just for that 815 million.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh.

[Amy]

I actually do.

[Eddie]

Is that what it was already? Just went up even more. Tonight's Powerball jackpot with an estimated 815 million. If you went. What was it already? It was like, six when we talked about it. Now it's at 850. There is a new app, and this is right up your alley. Lunchbox. It is called Jackpocket. Familiar?

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm about to find out.

[Eddie]

Okay, so Jack Pocket is where you can get your lottery tickets. So it lets you order Powerball or Mega Millions tickets. You can even order scratcher tickets and scratch them on the app. And so, yes, I. It works with the. With Powerball, it works with Mega Millions. And we have a code if you want to do this. Bones. It's Bobby Bones. No, it's Bobby Bones now.

[Bobby Bones]

They changed it back to Bones.

[Eddie]

They did? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We went back to what we initially talked about.

[Eddie]

As you can tell, this isn't a great advertisement, but I did see it and thought, this is perfect. I think I'M going to buy some now. But if you sign up to the Jackpocket app and you put in the code. What is it, Scuba?

[Bobby Bones]

It is Bones.

[Eddie]

Bones. You have to go to the promo and opt in. You get $5 in free lottery credits. So that's if you do the code. If you don't do the code, you don't get anything free, but you get in. But the code is Bones on Jackpocket, which I think I'm gonna do that today because it's easy. I just don't want to go to the store sometimes and get a lottery ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a pain.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think that's the best part about this. So I'm gonna sign up here. What?

[Lunchbox]

I'm not gonna be mad.

[Eddie]

No. Why would you be mad at something? There's nothing to be mad about. That you didn't win. No, no, no. No dairy.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Amy]

No need to say what you're thinking now.

[Eddie]

I want to hear you never once said no. I'm just.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just a little confused on why jackpocket.com went with you instead of me.

[Eddie]

It's. I don't think it's jackpocket.com.

[Amy]

He'S on jackpocket.com.

[Eddie]

I know. It's an app.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it says, get the app. If I go to jackpocket.com and it.

[Bobby Bones]

Says he wants the keyword to be lunchbox, that's what he wants.

[Lunchbox]

Well, yeah, I was just confused. Like, I mean, if there's a lottery player in this, like, circle, it would be me. But I. I'm. I. I am glad that they are part of the show. I'm just. I just maybe a little hurt that.

[Eddie]

You don't get to voice for Jackpocket. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just saying. I mean, I. I did. I mean, I did buy a scratch off yesterday. I haven't scratched it yet, though. But I did buy a 10 one because I went to the gas station, and they were cash only, which was crazy. Cash only, gas station. And I was like, oh, the whole.

[Bobby Bones]

Gas station was cash only?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's pretty interesting.

[Eddie]

And I was like, is that because their machines are broken?

[Bobby Bones]

Could be.

[Eddie]

Like, their Internet was down.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't ask them, and I was like, well, you know what? Now that I got my cash out, I might as well buy me another scratch off.

[Eddie]

Might as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you buy Lunchbox? Can you buy a lottery with debit?

[Lunchbox]

Never try that. I believe debit you can credit. You Cannot.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Sometimes I believe he's right. Sometimes, though, they don't even let you on debit.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They did not. Yeah, because I went and bought some the other day, and it was debit, and I said, came to my car and they said, no, there's an ATM right there, so. Yeah, but Jack Pocket put in Bones. I guess you get five bucks free lottery.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty good.

[Eddie]

But you don't have to go to the store. You can do it from your phone.

[Amy]

I guess I could do scratch and lunchbox. Like, anything. Like, any endorsement for the show in any way, shape or form is helping. Like, that's what helps pay all of us. So.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm not mad. I. I said I'm not mad, Amy. I said I'm just a little, like.

[Bobby Bones]

You'Re part of it anyway, you know?

[Amy]

Right, Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Even though it says bones. And maybe you'll.

[Amy]

They'll use your voice at some point. Because I do stuff often and it's me. It's my voice. But then I'm like, enter promo code Bobby Bones. Or enter promo code Bones.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's about the show.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's about.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you know what? The show lunchbox. If you play through that and win it, you could be like, yeah, the guy. The guy.

[Eddie]

They'll put you on a billboard, probably. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They do have pictures on the bottom of their website. If you go down, it has people.

[Eddie]

I'm getting on right now, as a matter. I mean, I'm logging in, I'm looking.

[Lunchbox]

At people like, oh, this guy won $20,000. This couple won 1 million. This chick won 150,000. Dude with sunglasses. 1 million.

[Amy]

That could be you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, here comes some girl. $50,000 in the new York Lottery.

[Eddie]

Dang. Dang.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, this lady looks kind of like a Grandma, maybe won 20,000 in the. I'm gonna say Colorado Lottery.

[Eddie]

Because this is all the actual. The same lottery. It's not like they're doing it within. I think they're just like an in between.

[Lunchbox]

Right.

[Eddie]

So you're buying Powerball. What's the other one? Mega Millions.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Set my account now. I, I, I think back to this.

[Lunchbox]

Dude in the jacket. He's from New Jersey. He won 50,000.

[Eddie]

Are you in? Did you sign up?

[Lunchbox]

No, I just got to the website right now. I haven't got.

[Amy]

He's got to get. If he gets the app, he's got his phone out. He's got to turn his phone on.

[Eddie]

Why did you go to the website.

[Amy]

To look it up?

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't have his phone.

[Amy]

Because you were talking about it.

[Lunchbox]

I don't do phone at work because I'm nervous about it going off. And then the wrath that comes with that of punishment.

[Eddie]

Your computer goes off every morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's no wrath.

[Eddie]

Like. But it's. Yeah. Never. There's no. No.

[Lunchbox]

There's punishments, though, sometimes.

[Eddie]

No, nobody's phones.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's goes off every morning.

[Amy]

That's not true.

[Eddie]

And Lunchbox's computer goes off.

[Amy]

True.

[Eddie]

He walks in every morning and turns his computer on and goes bang every time out loud.

[Lunchbox]

Well, Amy did have her phone go off, like, a couple months ago, and you said she was gonna get a punishment, and then nothing ever happened.

[Amy]

Cool. Thanks for bringing it up.

[Eddie]

I don't remember. When was that?

[Amy]

I don't remember either, but I already. Oh, fine. Okay, I'll watch. Unreal.

[Lunchbox]

No, that's good. No, that was for a game you lost.

[Amy]

I know. Okay, I'll watch it again.

[Eddie]

They put him a password, I think. I set up an account.

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna buy tickets right now.

[Eddie]

I'm in. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, he's over there. Been setting it up this whole time.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you get tickets to Powerball Mega Millions in your local state games.

[Amy]

So through that. So you. You can. Right now. Because you downloaded the app, you can play what we were just talking about that Mega Million.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Oh, sick. You don't have to go to the gas station.

[Lunchbox]

Who are you? Come on, teenager.

[Bobby Bones]

You sound like my kids.

[Eddie]

Bet.

[Bobby Bones]

Sick.

[Amy]

Yeah, Word. I'm gonna crash out.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, in smart order, you can set up a calendar, like an automatic withdrawal where it'll buy your tickets on that day. Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, do that lunchbox you'll never miss. That's perfect for you.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's what's up from Big Wave 37.

[Lunchbox]

Great app for people who lose track of time and miss chances to play their favorite games. And Berta in Minnesota. There's no way that girl's name is Berta.

[Eddie]

You don't think that's a real name? She.

[Lunchbox]

She looks young. Yeah, that's what I was saying.

[Amy]

Maybe her name is Roberta and she goes by Berta.

[Lunchbox]

I just thought.

[Eddie]

Scratch offs. I'm gonna do a scratch off right now.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you do that?

[Eddie]

You just like monopoly? Secret vault 200x price, $20. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Add.

[Eddie]

But then I wonder how they kill it at the store.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good question because it's going.

[Eddie]

To have a number on it, right? Let's see.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe the lottery has virtual tickets and they buy virtual tickets.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I got to figure this out Off. Okay, that's what's up. It does say Powerball 815 million bot play now. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get your scratch?

[Eddie]

Pick your own numbers. You do a 52 super pick. Whoa. Covers every special ball.

[Bobby Bones]

Do it.

[Eddie]

Each standard number will be chosen. 1. What's a super pick? Whatever it is, I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds awesome.

[Eddie]

Huh? Okay, we're gonna go. Thank you, guys. We will see you tomorrow and Friday on the show Zach top will be on. And zach top will have his guitar and perform. Also, Morgan, I saw on your podcast you had a listener on.

[Amy]

Yeah, this week I had on Sarah neininger. I always scared to say her last name, but she created a charity called action in africa when she was 15, and now she runs it. It's a multimillion dollar nonprofit.

[Eddie]

How did you know about her?

[Amy]

She messaged me and was like, hey, I've been listening to your podcast. I feel like what I do and my story could really fit. And I looked into it and I was like, this is perfect. And she was awesome. She was a really good guest.

[Eddie]

Dang. All right, check it out. See, I'm looking at the states you can do.

[Lunchbox]

Did you know that puerto Rico can.

[Eddie]

Be playing our lottery in our lottery? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't know that. That's weird.

[Eddie]

The lottery one is Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, a bunch of states. Some states you still can't do. Well, Puerto Rico's America, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

American territory.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, if it's gonna be, you.

[Eddie]

Can vote for the president. Puerto Rico. No. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think so.

[Eddie]

I do.

[Lunchbox]

Well, we disagree.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody's right.

[Eddie]

Let me ask my assistant. You want to go to my assistant?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Can you vote for the president if you live in Puerto Rico? So if you live in Puerto Rico, would you say. Would you say that again? Sure. Absolutely.

[Emily Tish Sussman]

So if you live in Puerto Rico, you can't vote in the u. S. Presidential election. Puerto Rico is a u. S. Territory.

[Eddie]

And while residents missed it. You're right, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Man, finally. I got.

[Eddie]

So.

[Lunchbox]

August 27, I got something right. Bobby got something wrong.

[Eddie]

I missed the crap out of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't forget the time. Right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got it.

[Eddie]

Man.

[Lunchbox]

That is crazy.

[Eddie]

Puerto Rico. I really thought you. I really thought they had. Man.

[Lunchbox]

I may get that tattooed.

[Bobby Bones]

Text your wife.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I will. I'll text her right now. Hey, guess what? I got something wrong.

[Eddie]

I missed that hard. I would have missed really hard.

[Lunchbox]

I got a question.

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Lunchbox]

So if they're a territory, right? And this may Be a dumb question. This may be an Eddy question.

[Amy]

Just stay on top.

[Lunchbox]

Why don't we just. Why don't we just make a mistake?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Puerto Ricans. Okay. Puerto Ricans can vote in the presidential primaries in caucus for the Democratic and Republican parties. The territory sends delegates to the party's national convention. So they do. They do get to take a part in the process. And they vote as delegates. I would have missed. They can vote in presidential primaries. They participate in non binding straw polls. They do vote for governors, legislators. They cannot vote in general election in November, but they can vote in the election. That's crazy. They can do one, but not the other.

[Bobby Bones]

That is weird.

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

So you're kind of right.

[Eddie]

I don't. I wasn't right. But I wasn't all the way wrong. I was only like a partial wrong. I wasn't right at all.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't say. That's 50. 50 lunchbox. You might want to erase that.

[Lunchbox]

You're giving too much credit. I was right. He was wrong. That's it.

[Eddie]

Well, no, you can vote for president in the prelims.

[Bobby Bones]

Primaries.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the prelims.

[Bobby Bones]

Like ufc, the prelim fights before the main event.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And they do send people to the conventions to help nominate the presidential candidate from that side. So. But yeah, that's. That's wild. All right, we're done. Check out Morgan's podcast called.

[Amy]

Go ahead Morgan, take this personally. With me, Morgan Huelsman.
