He's always loved Elvis Presley, but I feel like the movie is reignited. his Elvis Love, our video producer, Eddie. Hey, thank you very much. You're welcome very much. I want to shout out my 9-year-old because he's awesome. He got a homework assignment yesterday, and it wasn't, it's not even due till Monday.
Starting point is 00:03:23 And he came to me last night before I went to bed and said, Dad, I'm done with my project. Check it out. I'm like, wow, I wish all the boys, like, just take note. I called all the kids downstairs, take note. Look what they did. Oh, they hated it. I bet they love him right now. But he's the old.
Starting point is 00:03:38 No, nine, he's not the oldest. He's the second oldest. I bet the oldest really hated that. Oh, dude, he was just like, oh, cool, dad. Who cares? Because the oldest, he's always late. His, all his projects, they're always turned in like a day late. Is your nine-year-old completely different, though, in that respect?
Starting point is 00:03:51 100% different. Like, on-time places. Yeah. He's the first one up in the morning. It's crazy how you can have different personalities. Yeah. And I don't know who we gets that from. I think me, probably.
Starting point is 00:04:01 No, I don't think. No, I don't know you. Yeah, I don't think you at all. All right, next up, he wants me to introduce him tonight. to the Miz. He's a big real world fan. Not really a wrestling fan, but it's all real world based. Yeah, real world back to New York. And I'll be with the Ms. tonight, apparently. I've never met him before
Starting point is 00:04:16 at the I Heart Radio Music Festival. Here he is. Lunchbox, everybody. I just want to say good luck to my wife. As this weekend, she ventures to go to her 20-year high school reunion and I want her to walk in that wherever it's at. I don't know if it's a bar, restaurant at the high school gymnasium. And I want
Starting point is 00:04:33 all those guys to be like, man, we had a dime piece right here in front of us all these years. and we let her get away and she married a celebrity. So, hey, good luck. Hasn't he said recently she's past her prime? Uh-huh. Well, yeah, but they still can realize, dang, we had that dime piece here and she married a celebrity, so she was pretty dang hot.
Starting point is 00:04:51 What is the dime piece? Yeah, what is that? So what's a dime piece? A perfect 10. 10, dine. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I don't speak that. What's the cooler compliment that they say, look at the dime piece or she married a celebrity? That's what he's trying to say. Married a celebrity. I think. But both are cool. Both are awesome. But yeah, I mean, it's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:05:12 20-year high school reunion, so have fun. All right, there he is. Next up, you know, we all mostly wore headphones for a living. And Amy's the only person who the last couple of years, she's never wavered from the $2 pair of corded Apple Airbuds from iPhone 6. All right. Okay, so butterboards are all the rage right now. So if you happen to be hosting something at your house,
Starting point is 00:05:34 I highly recommend you Google this and check it out. It's like a chakrudery board. Like a slip and slide? Meat and cheese normally. But no, you get like wooden block or board and you spread butter all over it. Different butters? You can do different butters, yeah. One butter seems weird.
Starting point is 00:05:50 I would just eat the butter. Well, what I've seen like on TikTok is it covers the whole board and butter, but then you can season it in different sections with like different herbs and salt and spices and whatnot. So in honey, make a sweet version of it and then serve it with different types of bread. And voila, you have a butterboard, which is all. Also a conversation starter because a lot of people probably haven't seen a butterboard. Yeah, I'm still working on NyQuil chicken. After that, I'll get to the.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Yeah, this is real and safe. Over there. All right. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, he likes a good virgin drink. And every weekday morning, he makes you think, Bobby Bowie. Wow. Yeah, we get better and better. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:27 So, I'm going to tell you about a little scam. And I almost, I kind of fell for it, but I stopped myself just in time. So I keep my personal email box extremely clean. I don't even check my work email. I don't know what's been over there. The only person who occasionally checks is Mike D. I'm like, hey, will you check that work email? My personal email, I don't like any junk.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I don't get anything. And if I do delete, flag, unsubscribe, a new scam is you'll get one of those and you'll unsubscribe, but it's set up perfectly like that. So when you hit unsubscribe, it takes you to a bad link. Oh, no. So the email is not to actually be read. It's to make you want to unsubscribe because it's annoying. When you hit unsubscribe, that link is actually a link.
Starting point is 00:07:05 to a place that steals your information. And when I hit it, it goes, are you sure you want to go to this site? And I was like, this is a brilliant way to steal someone's. And I said, no, I don't. But I remembered that to tell you guys about it. Thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:07:16 So if you hit unsubscribe, if you even unsubscribe, I don't know. If you hit that and it goes, we don't trust this website. Don't go to it. It's a new scam. There you go. A little PSA here.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Good to know. But I thought it was a brilliant one. They're going to get us. They're going to get us eventually. I'm starting to think I've already fallen for that one. Uh-oh. All right, guys, welcome to the show. Big guests today, a lot of games.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. Last week, my fiance got into a road rage incident with my boss. Ooh. That's not good. Ooh.
Starting point is 00:08:00 My fiance is not pleased to know that I'm working for a hothead. and while he's at the point where he can move on, it seems like a huge red flag to experience such unprofessional and flat out rude behavior from someone I work for. What should I do? Should I find a new job?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Keep this on the back burner? Go above them? Thanks so much. New to the West. New to this job. Let's go to the road rage expert. Well, Eddie, road rage is like crazy. Whoa, whoa.
Starting point is 00:08:24 He's like Mr. Nice guy. I'm like a highway vigilante. You're not a vigilante. It's not your job. It's not your job to shut people down or yell at people. Like if someone's passing people Real quick, I just get on the other lane to slow him down a little bit.
Starting point is 00:08:35 But that's not your job. I like that. That could awesome cause an accident. So I don't think you quit your job because of what your boss did in a personal setting. If he's not assaulting, like, I don't know. It just so happened. It was your fiance. If we couldn't be friends or work with people that did have road rage, I couldn't work with Eddie.
Starting point is 00:08:52 But he doesn't bring that into this room. No, I'm very peaceful here. Yeah, you're peaceful in every other part of your life. But what if he roadraged Caitlin? That's a good example. Then I would just beat him up and be like, all right, see tomorrow at work. and then we can move on Yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:09:04 Turn the page I guess it depends if he knew it was Caitlin or not If he didn't And he was just being road ragey I would be like well That's Eddie Okay But I don't think you go
Starting point is 00:09:12 And you look for a new job I think it's awkward And you have that talk Hey, here you have my fiance I had a little incident at work Sorry about that And you move on I just feel like
Starting point is 00:09:22 If the tables were flipped And it was The employee doing that To the boss The boss would be like I don't want my employee Doing that You're out of here
Starting point is 00:09:30 No you don't fire somebody for road rage when it has nothing to do with work. You never say like, man, you mess with the wrong guy today. I'm your boss and you're out. No, I've never said that, eh? Okay. Ever in my home. Ever, ever, ever being a boss? Ever. Never.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Never. Okay. I think if it happens out of work and it's not somebody drunk driving or it's a crime or you just let it be considered out of work. Man, he bumper tapped. I know. I don't, I can't. It's like the guy who punched the hole through the windshield a few days ago. The back windshield? I can't believe that happens. The people do that. Beyond a meet guy. Yeah. Don't bumper tap. Don't be road ragey
Starting point is 00:09:59 because you never know who's got a gun. Yeah. but I don't think it's something that affects you at work as far as you having to pick a new job. Just have that awkward conversation. Hey, I'm sorry that happened between you guys. He is sorry. And then just get out of there.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Get out of the office and go do your job. Don't quit. Anybody argue with that? No. You can't quit. It didn't happen at work. And he also, again, wasn't drunk driving. He didn't get a DUI.
Starting point is 00:10:21 It wasn't one of those situations. Okay, thank you. That's the email. Close it up. We got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about to close. Mailback. Yeah. It's time for Fun Fact Friday.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Fun Fact Friday. Amy, what's your fun fact of the week? Well, Jessica Simpson developed an addiction to nicotine because she thought Nicorette was regular gum. Crazy. She would just chew it. Oh, man. And then she was addicted. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:10:52 That's crazy. I wonder if it tastes better, if it tastes like a tingle. I never had it. I don't want to try because I don't want to get the nicotine fit. Yeah. Dang, that's unfortunate because she didn't know, right? No. Eddie, what you're fun fact?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Bones, how far do you think Russia is from Alaska? Now, be honest with me. 90 miles. Right? That sounds about right. Nope, it's 2.5 miles. There are pieces of islands that are so close to each other that one belongs to Russia and two and a half miles away, there's an Alaskan island. And sometimes the ocean freezes right there.
Starting point is 00:11:25 You can walk right across. Really? Yeah. To the other island. It just feels so far away, but it's like the Caribbean in Florida or like Cuba. Oh, yeah, exactly. You like throw a rock and land over there. It's like 60 miles or something.
Starting point is 00:11:38 Yeah, that's still close, though. It's very close. It's way close. All right, let's go to Ramundo. Ramundo. Yeah, you should always brew your coffee and make it at a temperature you can drink right away because within two minutes, you lose 70% of the coffee bean flavor. So you see somebody sucking on it all day?
Starting point is 00:11:54 Pretty much flavorless. Or I guess if it's so hot, they have to let it sit. Right, that's not smart. Never thought about that. I did not know that. Okay. Morgan. The Golden Girls were supposed to have a different theme song. The show's producers wanted to use Bet Midler's song Friends,
Starting point is 00:12:09 but the rights to the song were too expensive. I don't know that song. I don't either. Oh, Ray. Got a clip? But you got to have a frame. Two things. One, kind of a jam. That could have worked.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Never heard it, but kind of a jam. And two, I like how Morgan calls for a clip. Ray, clip. Ray, clip. That's funny. Thank you, Morgan. Turn that up. It's our new theme song now.
Starting point is 00:12:36 That works though. That one works. Oh, yeah, I like that sound. And finally, my fun fact. George R.R. Martin is the guy that invented, created Game of Thrones, wrote it. Made tons of money. Massive, right? He doesn't really spend a bunch of his money.
Starting point is 00:12:51 He did buy two houses on the same street in Santa Fe, New Mexico, one to live in, and another house right beside it to put all his toys and collectibles. Wow. That's splurgeoning. Because you know the guy that wrote Game of Thrones got a lot of collectibles. Uh-huh. Fun fact Friday. Yay!
Starting point is 00:13:06 Come on! It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So we're going to go back to the end of last semester before summer break. This girl is at the University of Tampa and has to fly home to New York for the summer. Well, she has this pet beta fish, Theo. And when she gets to the Southwest ticket counter, they're like, oh, yeah, yeah, you can't fly with the fish.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Sorry, it's not going to work. Well, then two Southwest employees tell her, We will take care of your pet fish over the summer, and when you return to college in the fall, we'll give it back to you. That's crazy. Yeah. You should have hired them to take your fish for it died. Still be here.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Yeah. But I'm like 60 bucks richer. That's pretty cool. But shout out to. Yeah, Ishmael and Jamie, they returned the beta fish, Theo, safely to Kira, and she's now back at the University of Tampa. Fish is all good all summer long. It's like it got a little summer vacay.
Starting point is 00:14:00 That's pretty cool. Yeah. They also had something fun to talk about. about at work. And those beta fish are hard to kill. Although, wasn't that the guy you had? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:09 No, I've heard that too. They're hard to kill. But Amy did it. Yeah, she did. Well, my tank got a disease. The snails were a bad idea. Now you're blaming it on the tank. The snails maybe released something into the tank.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah. I don't know what happened. It's tragic. Both snails died. The fish died. And it wasn't all at one. We're just happy it didn't spread to the humans. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Right. But hey, Theo's alive. Yes. And well. Those agents are amazing. That's really cool. Southwest, they documented it all on their Twitter, took pictures, update, so it was a very

We also have Rich Eisenon, who was a former ESPN SportsCenter anchor from back in the day. Also has the Rich Eisen show now. So pretty cool. But yeah, just go search 25 whistles wherever you podcast.
Starting point is 00:22:11 It's a sports show. That's what's up. Here's Amy's pile of stories. The Wall Street Journal did a big write-up on how old band logos are trending right now for young people. and they talked to a dad that was so excited when his 17-year-old daughter brought home a Rolling Stones and a Metallica shirt,
Starting point is 00:22:29 but then he got super annoyed because she couldn't name a single song. That's when he locks her in the room and you play what you think is their biggest, most influential album. Just listen to all of it, then she can wear the shirt. I don't even care if you know three songs.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Listen to the full album and then we'll talk. Also, I don't care anymore. I'm annoyed with me at this point. I've been saying this forever now. The people are saying it too and I'm like, I don't want to be on that train. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:52 I know, it's a whole wall-in-dram. Now it's a whole thing. I like it when it was only me complaining. But yeah, I'm kind of a loser now. Well, a poll found that the most popular band logo shirts are ACDC. Check, have that. I have an ACDC sweater, like a crew sweatshirt type thing. It's a little thicker than that.
Starting point is 00:23:08 But it says Highway to Hell on it. And it's one of their big songs. I love ACDC. Oh, yeah. Like, even when they had Ballbreaker, which was way later, post-super famous ACDC, like, knew it all. Listen to it all. And I just feel weird about wearing a shirt. this is Highway to Hell on it, even though that was the name of the torn song.
Starting point is 00:23:24 So you don't wear it anymore? I've never put it on. I bought it and it's old and I can't... Because hell's a place. Yes, it is. So it wouldn't be a bad word. You could wear it, just wear it. Dude, who cares?
Starting point is 00:23:37 It's rock and roll, man. Yeah. Listen, yes, I'm the bad boy of country music. However, I'm not the bad boy of real life. Oh, that's true. I'd wear it in real life. So I don't know. It doesn't feel comfortable to me.
Starting point is 00:23:47 So what else? Aerosmith, Queen, Pink Floyd, and Green Day. It's called the Green Days. get a cool logo. Yeah. All right, what else? Okay, credit card skimmers. They're cropping up at gas stations, particularly 7-Elevens across the country and even ATMs. So here's what you need to do to protect yourself. Try to only use a chip card in the reader if you can. Just boop, use the chip. Check the card reader for a fake top plate. So it'll take some investigating, but it's worth it. You can use Apple Pay or Google Pay or cash. And then also if you're ATMs, they put teeny tiny little cameras there. Scammers,
Starting point is 00:24:21 do to try to get your pin code and make sure you look for a camera. Here's the thing. When I'm getting gas, I don't have all this time to launch full investigation. Oh, you got to call the Department of Justice here. DOJ, I'm going to launch full investigation, full scale. I'm going to need to. No, you just have to look for a few things. But you say the skimmer on the outside of, they have those that aren't skimmers, though. They have little things that go outside of that plate. You slide your card in. And I've seen them before. And I'm like, does this skimmer? And then they're like, no,
Starting point is 00:24:48 that's just part of the gas pump. You're paranoid. Yes. So fine. But I still want to use Apple Pay at the store. I'm like, am I doing this right? Oh, I feel so old when it's time to bring up my wallet and find my credit card and hold my phone up to it. That's definitely something that ages me.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Yeah, and I do it, but I'm always like, is this even crap? So all that sounds good in principle, but I don't think people are going to be doing it. All right, what else? So Riba was on our show earlier this year, talking about what she would like to see happen with her show, Riba. We've been really trying hard to do a reboot on the Riba show because I really want to work with the people that I got to work with during that six and a half years. So hopefully that'll happen one day. And here's Riba on GMA talking about how it's not going to happen. Unfortunately not.
Starting point is 00:25:38 I thought we were getting really close. But nope, not going to be able to do it for right now. But we'll kind of keep seeing if we can get in there somewhere. So hopefully one day it's a good show. I guess it's not a survive. Oh, that is. What is that? That's a song to Reba that also went viral.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Oh, I'm over my. I don't know that. Okay, I get it. I get it. I get it. We're slow. Sorry, man. Just like Reba, too.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Right on it. Did that it, Amy? That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay at home. It's something good.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Guys, I need you to stick with me. We're about to go on a wild, long ride. Okay. Carl Allen B when he's a teenager, he's in high school. He doesn't have the resources to go to college. So he starts working at an auto parts store. He's like, man, I really like this car stuff.
Starting point is 00:26:27 So at 19, he says, you know what? I'm going to open my own car shop. So he opens a shop and it just provides for him. Until he's in his mid-30s, he's like, I'm going to go back to college and get my college degree. And he's taking a biology class. And he's like, you know what?

Starting point is 00:26:43 So he started taking med school classes. And then he graduates, goes and does residency. and now he is 51 years old and he was just hired on as his first job as a doctor. Wow. You know if there was a group project, everybody wanted to be in his group because he was a non-traditional student
Starting point is 00:27:00 and they work a lot harder. Oh man, let me tell you. Because they care. Intro to Earth Systems in college, we had to take a test individually and then we got to take it in a group, right? Well, I saw the two non-traditional students. I got in their group,
Starting point is 00:27:12 so I was like, man, the test average, so I didn't even study, and I'd get an F on my test and an A on theirs. See, good. This guy's living in 2040 right now. Let me tell you. That's important thinking. Wait, if he got a C, does that mean they get a C?
Starting point is 00:27:24 No, no, no, because they would get an A on their individual and then they get an A on the group. They would get an A. You average the two. So I'd just get an F on mine and then the group, they'd get an A. Boom, here you go. Never had stoned it. He thought of that years ago. Yeah.
