A little 15 seconds from everybody. Our video producer is up first. Here he is. Producer Eddie. Eddie, go ahead, buddy. Bones. This question's for you. Why are shoes so expensive. My son got these new Jordans for Christmas

and they were not cheap. But here's the problem. He doesn't want to wear him anywhere because he doesn't want to get him dirty. He doesn't want to get him scuffed. So I'm like, what's the point? You're buying shoes that are so expensive, but the shoes go on your feet and they're going to get messed up. I don't understand it. I feel like you're the

old man fighting with the clouds right now. I just don't get it. Well, shoes are a status symbol as well. You have certain nice things that you don't want to wear all the time. But this specific set of shoes. It's not shoes in general to him. He has other shoes, I'm sure. But he loves these so much, and it's such a status symbol that he only wants to wear them in times where he knows they will not get messed up. He loves them so much. He does. It'd be like having a new car and you know, people eat in it for a while.

Right. Why? Could you love it clean? It's, it's, you're proud of it. You want to show it off. You want it to feel. So that's why, but shoes are now a status symbol. It's, I love that he loves Jordans. Oh, he loves them. I don't like that he loves Jordans because they're so expensive, but he loves them. You can say no. He's a big shoe guy. Scoobis Steve is, and he buys a pair and then puts a pair up. He buys a pair to wear and then puts a pair away.

Yeah. Which is crazy. Even I don't do that. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I don't get it, but thanks for trying to explain it to me. It's just a status thing. It's like any new thing you would have that you don't want to get dirty for a while. Once he gets them dirty the first, then you wear some all the time.

Does he wear him to school at all? He does. Well, he hasn't gone to school yet, so he hasn't worn him to school yet. but we were going for a walk and he went and he never put him on for a walk. Yeah, not a walk. He put him on and then he saw some muddies like, Dad, I'm going back to the house. I'm changing my shoes. Exactly.

You should be happy he's doing that. He's not asking for other ones. You're right. All right. Up next here he is everybody at lunchbox. Speaking of Jordans, they were part of my angel wish list. I didn't get those. I didn't get my FIFA soccer ball.

But in the mail, I did get a running watch from a B-teamer. It was mailed to the studio and they said, Merry Christmas from a B-team. or didn't sign their name. And guys, I got it on my arm. Are you ready? Three, two, one. Wow.

Look at that watch, Eddie. Okay, so everybody that's listening. Wow. Lunchbox created an angel and put it at one of these places and acted like he needed Christmas gifts. A lot of listeners got upset that he did it. And on this list, he put shoes and even a watch similar to that. Yeah, the other one was a little more expensive,

but someone mailed me a running watch. So you are an angel, just not that. Yeah, it costs multiple hundreds of dollars, and I now have it on my wrist. And whoever that bee teamer is, I don't know why you don't sign your name so I can thank you on the air. You need the publicity,

but I really do appreciate it. And boy, that is nice. We can't. I know. We can't just take it. And look, and it's technology. But you got that all from you going, you wanted to fraud people to buy you Christmas presents.

It's not fraud. If people volunteer. No, you were getting and putting an angel up with other kids who are less fortunate. Correct. You're not a kid or less fortunate. But there's things that I couldn't afford on my list. You could. It doesn't matter.

Hey, is that a nice watch or what? Pretty nice. It's really nice. And guys, I don't know how to work it. It's technology. I have a really hard time. He has no idea how to work it. It's very expensive and you can't work it.

It's struggle. All right, up next. I don't. I just, that watch. I just. I feel guilty. Hey, me and you are watch guys now. I'm nothing.

Hey, we're watch guys. It's like so far our listeners are far too generous. I know. Here she is. Everybody, our co-host, Amy, everybody. Go ahead of you. So just wanted to let her we know about trip protection on your credit card. I know a lot of people had travel woes over the holidays,

and you might be getting reimbursements from different airlines, but say they won't cover something. Well, check your credit card because in the little fine print, you might find that your car. card has trip protection and you could submit receipts that way and possibly get the money through your credit card. Did you do that? Yes. I'm, well, here's what I'm doing. I'm applying everything to Southwest first and then I'll see what I get reimbursed for. And then I'm ready to file trip protection for whatever Southwest doesn't cover. That's cool. It's like renter's insurance.

If somebody robs your house or even your homeowner's insurance. Yes. Someone robs or something There's also little ways to get money back as well, but we don't know about it because we're not told by them because they don't want us using it. I didn't know about it until yesterday. Okay, thank you very much. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's a big watch guy, and I've never seen him eat a fry. Bobby Bone. Thank you very much.

Oh, wow. Thank you for the single clap. I clap for all you guys. You guys are so rude. I was thinking about the single fry. That was very much. Oh, you're talking about watch guy. So I did watch Harry and Megan, the documentary on Netflix over the Christmas break.

Oh, yeah. Seriously? I did and my wife was like, will you watch this with me? I didn't want to because I just don't have interest in that couple. Not really that interested in the royal family, but I watched it. And I actually found it to be not as terrible as I thought is pretty good, especially like episode 3, 4, 5. And I like him a lot more. I still feel like she's an actress.

She did go through a lot of rough crap. A lot of it, though, you're like, well, you know what you're getting into, but not fully. honestly. Mm-mm. And just how his brother, Prince William, was, like, working so hard against him. And he calls him out. Like, the office would, like, spread stuff

because, one, Megan would get more famous than the other people. Or it's pretty good. And I felt bad for her. I did. I didn't want to, but I did because there's some really difficult things that I don't think she saw coming. I also felt she was acting a little bit because she's a great actress. I mean, she's an actress, so she...

But, I like the docu series. I wish I could see the other side perspective. And I did come away not liking them less and knowing a little more about them. That's not a great review, but I did like it. You watch it? I watched some of it. And yeah, I was watching it.

I was like, why do so many people hate on them? I don't get it. Yeah, I just be neutral about it. Either don't like them. But there are people that are very vocal about being just so disgusted by them. But here's what they found out. What? We've dealt with this too.

That once they did all these thousands of, they went through all the messages, the tweets and the Facebook messages. It was really done by a small group of people. And they were like bringing in people to help them and do more. So they were doing all of this map. But it was like 80 people. Oh, wow.

Doing like 70% of all of the hate. How do people have time to do that? Exactly. What do you think has happened in our life? That's crazy. You know, it's just. Yeah, I know. And one day,

People's minds can be blown when that's finally out in whatever form it comes out. People's minds are going to be blown. It's using it will. Well, I don't know. We'll see. Okay.

Also, back to the show. I found fascinating the stuff about Megan's dad. Oh, what a dirtball. And I always watch a documentary knowing I'm watching their version of it. Yeah. But he did sell stuff about her. But what was crazy is she,

Megan tried to write him a letter and it's crazy that it got intercepted. and then the Daily Mail published it. Well, she wanted to not even write a letter, but they were like, you need to write a letter. So when she wrote a letter, then it got intercepted. It's like they wanted it. And then they started publishing stuff,

but they were also taking stuff out of it when they published it. Right. So it looked even worse for her. Yeah, but it's crazy. Someone intercepted her letter to her dad. But someone is probably somebody in the royal family in that group who probably caught it on the way out. But I think it was signed for in Mexico.

Or somebody was there knowing where it was going to get sent to. Yeah, that's crazy. Huh. Sorry, I don't know. And this is all because they tried to... That one was signed for. But still, it could have been somebody knowing it was going to be sent. Yeah.

This is all because they try to get away from the royal family. No, the dad parts, totally. Yeah, the dad parts. But this whole documentary is because they denounce the royal family or what? No, it's just their story. Okay. I don't know much about him. And Tyler Perry seems like a dude I'd like to be friends with.

Oh, my gosh. Yeah, hero. Hey. I don't know about hero. Tyler Perry? Yeah. He's a hero. I felt like he wanted to be friends with the royal family.

But still, I liked him a lot. in this. He seems like a nice guy. Because he jumped out and helped him. He didn't even know them. But he's like, you can stay at this house. There's no security. But the thing is, they didn't have any money for security either. And you can go, wah, wah, wah. But they weren't Canada. But as they didn't have any money for security, it was getting really dangerous for them because everybody was coming. Their photographers were getting their yard.

And so it was getting dangerous for them. So they had no money. Like when they leave the royal family, they get no money? They were not allowed to use that money. So that dude gave up billions of dollars, unlimited wealth. I don't know that that's the case. I think you have things you can use while you're alive, but I don't think you own it. But yes, but yes, well, for sure.

Oh my God. And that's the stupidest decision. Status and different things. A communication. Anyway, I don't even care that much about it, but I do, I watch it and I was like, dang, I feel bad. I did feel bad for her. I didn't feel as bad as some people because I'm just in this world.

And maybe I don't, I just am used to getting beat on all the time. So maybe I'm just like, yeah, that sucks. I'm sorry. Maybe I empathize a bit more than I should have. sympathized. But that's what's up. Harry and Megan I thought it's pretty good, and I had no interest in watching it. It's time to open up the mailbag. You send an email

and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag, yeah. Dear Bobby Bones, my girlfriend says I have way too many shoes for a country guy. She says I should have three to four pairs of shoes max. I own more shoes than her. I currently have 16 pair

of shoes. I'm a size 15, so shoes are hard to find so I get them when I can. I have shoes for everything I do. Two pair for work. I'm a heavy-duty diesel technician. Two pairs of crocs. Two pair of lace-up work boots for around the house. One pair of slip-on cowboy boots. One pair of dress-up cowboy boots.

One pair of competition shooting shoes. One pair of shoes for the gym. One pair for the boat. One pair of water. One pair of sandals. One pair of rain boots. One pair of slippers. One pair of camo throwaway shoes.

I don't think it's an issue. But she says, I need to reduce my shoe collection down to three pair. What do you think I should do? Signed country boy with a lot of shoes. I think you get a new girlfriend. Yeah. Sounds like her problem. Unless you're spending the money on things.

like food, rent. If you're not missing those payments, you have this income in your life. It could be one cent. It can be no sense and you can't buy it. Or it can be 10 million cents. You can buy a streaming service for a month, a pair of shoes, a dinner.

Like, that's the extra money that you get to go and choose to live your life with. And if you're buying shoes, that's great. You can be buying worse things. You can be gambling it. You can be doing, you know, if you're unhealthily gambling it, that ain't good.

Now, if you're healthily gambling, like I do at Drive Kings. Ah, yes, me too. It's totally fine. Yes, because I have set limits. That being said, I think she needs to relax. It doesn't sound like he's buying a lot of shoes.

He needs shoes for all these things that he does. Yeah, two pairs of crocs is like the most profitable thing ever. Your life is... How is that profitable? I guess not profitable. I'm just saying it's the most important because his life is so much better. The comfort he is getting... He was trying to use a big word.

I was, and I missed it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, oh, is the resale value on those? And if you're taking up way too much room in a shared closet, find another place to put them, put them in the garage. Find it, make a little, but no, this is not an issue. I love shoes. I love shoes. I like clothes.

And mine comes from obviously childhood trauma of not being able to afford shoes or clothes, having to get everything at a yard sale for years and years and years. So that is, like, for me now, that's what I like, because I like to feel, oh, man, this is cool. I didn't have this, like to have it now. But that could be anything with any of us. We have things when we were kids. We feel like we were neglected. So we like to have it now. I have a shoe.

Not a problem because I don't spend money that I don't have. But I have a shoe fascination. And I like clothes. Are those both from the childhood? Yeah. Oh, man. I find it to be very profitable. That was a bad word.

That was a bad word. And then I justify in a couple of ways. I wear them. And then I make sure that somebody else can wear them after I'm done. if I wear them for a while. What's up? You want to see my shoes? Well, Ed, you have someone now?

Yeah, dude. Those are super awesome. I make sure that either the friends here get the clothes. I donate them to certain places. You shouldn't donate that expensive a clothes. I do, though. He really does. I do.

I want somebody else to have it, too. Thank you, man. Well, not, don't you. You can have whatever you want. But, a guy, live your life. She shouldn't be regulating your shoes. I really think that. Amy, you?

Yeah, no. This is not an issue to me. I don't understand. If you're not spending money you don't have and you're not using space, you don't have all good. And if you are using space, go move it to somewhere else. But also, since we don't wear the same size shoes, can I get your handbag hand me downs? No, because I like mine. But if you get tired of it.

No, I like mine. I like bags now too. I don't like pockets. Pockets are so 2018. Hey, I mean, we don't wear the same size shoe, but can I get your car hand-me-downs? You're tired of a car? No, that's very different than a handbag. Hey, Amy, you're throwing a handbag?

I'll throw a car. Why not? Well, I got to trade a car in. if I get a new one, so that's not really going to work. All right, that's the mailbag. Thank you. One of our most popular segments, because it's always so interesting. It's time for Fun Fact Friday.

Fun Fact Friday. Literally, it's just go find something that's super cool. Fun fact for the week. Of first, lunchbox. Super fun. Lobsters pee out of their faces. That is right. That's crazy.

How crazy is that? Yeah, that's crazy. So, the female lobsters, they pee on, or near a male to attract them. So they shoot pee out their face. And that is what the male is like, oh, that's who I want.

Yeah, humans are really the only people that hate pee. Really? Yeah, because dogs will go. It's like, they're marking and they're also like smell it.

We're the only people that are like, who pee-o. I think koalas pee on their babies. Everybody's peeing. Maybe. Let's let, hey, let's be turn-starters.

Yeah, we need to get on that. Eddie, come here. Take a shoes off. Oh, that's gross. But also, the males, you know, they fight, they pee on each other. They fight that way,

They shoot pee at each other. That's their fighting. Instead of claws or anything, ha, got you with my pee. It's a water gun fight. How awesome is that? That is probably the funnest fact in 2023. Well, I just started, but okay.

Oh. All right, let's go to Morgan. Morgan, what do you have? Well, speaking of pee, urine used to be used as a detergent. What's happening right now? Okay, go ahead. It used to be used as a detergent because of its ammonia content. It helps get out tough stains.

So if you want to use your pee for something else, just use it on stains. Eddie, come here. Okay. You want me to pee on your stand? Well, didn't plan to have two peers. Amy, what do you have? Ants sleep by taking around 250 one-minute naps throughout the day. Wow.

That totals just under five hours of sleep, but this allows for most of the colony to be awake and working at any given moment. But I was like, oh, I thought you might be into something like that. They take 250. One-minute naps. Which is crazy because lunchbox takes one, 250-minute nap. That's so long. How many hours is that? Well, 120 is 2.

Oh, boy. So 240 would be 4. Okay. So it would be 4 hours and 10 minutes. I was like, oh, that's a 2 hour nap. That's about right. But no, it's longer than that. Eddie.

Have you ever heard the phrase, I'll be back in a jiffy? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Well, they say jiffy because jiffy is an actual unit of time. A jiffy is one one hundredth of a second. So it's mathematically and scientifically, it's a, a real unit of time. So it's not just a name or word they said, hey, I'll be back in a jiffy. I always thought it was like old people turned. Me too. Isn't that cool? That's cool.

Walgreens grew from 20 stores to 400 stores during Prohibition. It really exploded during the 20s and only 30s because they were actually allowed to sell whiskey for medical purposes. That's what's up. So everybody wanted to go to Walgreens so they had the license to sell whiskey. Yeah, healthy and happy. Corner of healthy and happy. That's crazy. Everybody had a weird, like TikTok blew up because of the pandemic. Yes. Everybody was trapped.

Oh, I've heard some bad stuff about TikTok. I'm 50-50 on it getting canceled in America. Yeah. Like other countries involved in stuff? Yeah, I talked to somebody who works in tech, high tech. And he was like, yeah, they have to cancel it. And I'm like, but TikTok, it's a part of our life so much. He's like, yeah, but at a whole, I will get to it another day.

I'm 50, I used to go, there's no chance. But I'm 50-50 on, they'll. Like it's bad for us or it's like they're doing something? Like, we won't get that it might not be. Yeah, I'm going to delete mine. No way, it's awesome. I love mine. They owe me some money. Hey, I'm going to until they can anymore. What?

They owe me some money. Should I cash that check? Yeah. Okay. Heck yeah. It's not going to mess with me later in the future? No. Okay, all right. No, not that kind.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, there you go. That's Fun fact Friday. Fun fact Friday. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Let me list to all the people here.

Kevin Hyde, Joe de Tomaso, and Joe's dog Minnie, they get in a boat, and they're going to go. And they're going to travel. They're going to travel all down the bank. They left North Carolina, and they were going all the way down,

except they went to drift somewhere in the Atlantic. They'd run out of food and water. There was a, like, a storm that caused them to lose where they were and just pull them out. You can't really fight the water. And so that's what happened. For 10 days, they floated out there. Miraculously, there was a tanker.

There was carrying fuel from Amsterdam. to New York. That's not a short trip. And think about how big that, just to randomly see a boat? Oh, yeah. So, luckily, the crew from the tanker used a cargo net and they threw it down, they guys climbed up the net.

One of them had the dog in his arm. They got back, and they took them all the way back, gave him some food. Luckily, they found them. And here's a clip of the captain saying that he was in tears and thank you God that the sailors were safe. He was probably the last ship that would have been able to

find us. And they found them, and they lived. And mostly I'm just happy for the dog. Why am I like that? Yeah, you always think of the dog first. Why am I like that? Because see, that's real life humans. But mostly I'm like, many, and many live in a movie, if you kill a dog, I'm destroyed. If you kill a human, I'm like, all right, what's next? It's fine. Move on.

I like how his tone went to... You know what I mean? He's gonna worry. I don't think that's what it is because I've been working pretty hard since. It's also a health thing for me where I want to...

In case I get called in, I want to be training for something. You never know what I mean. Called into what? Who knows, dude? Okay, anything? Service. Baseball.

Oh, wow. Don't know. Mailman. Who knows? Football coach. So, I don't... Marriage has not made... me any more relaxed as far as my body.

I just don't put the pressure on myself to get it back as fast. I know I'm going to get back to it, so I'm not ashamed of myself as much. Not perfect, but that's what I was saying there. I still, my pants are still a little tight. I ate a lot of pie over Christmas. And this time I didn't stop. That's it. You'll get there.

I love pie. There's a pie that they made. It was a pecan pie with chocolate. Oh, my. Awesome. First you're like, that's weird. And I kept sneaking over to the pie corner. That's what, pie corner.

Pie corner was awesome. Yes. Thank you, Hayden. I appreciate that. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So there's book clubs and supper clubs, but to get more specific, soup groups are getting really popular. I love soup. Soups and smoothies all day every night.

That'd be the name of my tour if I could. Soups and smoothies. Yeah. Yeah, it pretty much works the same way that a book club would. You have your soup recipe. for the week and everybody makes it. Maybe you have different groups across. You have people come over.

They would mail me a soup every week. I don't want to go hang out with people. It's not a membership, like, subscription. No, like the cheese club of the month. It's not like that. This is just stuff friends do. Soup groups. I'm good.

I'm good on friends. Hey, no, I made this white bean chicken soup the other day. I'm going to be making it again. It's so good. Sounds pretty good. I should form a soup. Golly, I love a soup. What's your favorite soup?

Well, here's an order of things that I love. Oh, boy. My wife. Oh, good. My dog and the Arkansas Razorbacks. And the dog can be inserted one or the other,

but never both because they're annoying together. Soup. Soup. Yeah. And then parentheses above all of that, America. Of course. Okay, that's all. Smoothies, too.

Good job. Well, a woman on TikTok has been going viral because she has this theory that men marry the woman that's in front of them once they're ready to get married. It's not that they have found the one.

It's just that once their brain decides, okay, I'm going to get married, whoever they're with, voila. Not true for me because my brain was never going to decide to get married by itself. Caitlin had to be exactly perfect. And then I had to have a couple talks like, don't be an idiot. Because I thought I would just never get married. Talks to yourself. Yeah, I'd be like, don't be an idiot, do you?

I'd be like, well, are you calling me an idiot? So no, I do not subscribe to that theory at all because I was just fine, never get married. getting married. Well, here's the clip before talking about it. I came across this photographer. She's obviously been at a lot of weddings and she observed that the men were marrying the woman in front of them at the time that they were ready to get married. Implying that that wasn't necessarily that man's soulmate or that man's love of his life. It was just the girl he was dating at the time he was ready to get married and settle down. I'm sure that's happening a lot too. And I feel like

it can happen with women too. Like they're just marrying the guy that's in front of them because they want to get married. But I do not think that is a universal rule. Right. So, because I definitely didn't and I never felt like I was ready to get married for the sake of getting married. All right else. Like any guy on the show right now is he'd be like, well. No, man. Hey, their mouths are being shut over there. All I know is they're not saying anything.

Nobody. Not a single person even raised their hand to say something. So I'm going to just get off this. Charles Kelly is celebrating six months sober. He shared this on social media. I was thanking his wife, his bandmates and his fans who have also been very supportive of his song, which is a goodbye letter to alcohol, called as far as you could.

Yeah, Charles Kelly, one of the leads of Lady Innebellum, lead singers. So, all right. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Valerie Cameron arrived at Salt Lake City International with a few minutes to kill, so she hung out at the airport.

She read a book, she listened to music, she put some lotion on her hands because they were dry. been flying and she took her wedding ring off which she says she almost never does she put in her lap so because she never does it she kind of forgot she did it then she answered a phone call and they were like okay you can board now and the ring just fell out the airport floor the worst the worst she called a friend she goes hey could you check with the airport so the friend did airport's like nat i ain't seen a ring i mean that's needle in a haystack as they'd say Valerie had not had her wedding ring long but obviously she loved it she her husband her daughter I went to the jewelry that store together to get it. And a week later, when she was going to go look for another one,

because it was a special ring that was only one of a kind, she got a text. I wanted to turn the ring into lost and found. Wow. And she was like, oh, man, because it could have kept. It was a big ring. Yeah. For sure, it could have kept it.

They don't know who the stranger is. They don't leave a note and say, hey, I turn this ring in, which I know you'd hate lunchbox. Yeah, I don't understand. When you find something, you want to leave your name just in case the person wants to contact you, go to the news. Anything. Anything.

Yeah. So you get a reward. Well, they don't know who it is, but the ring's been found and she's all good. Because if this goes, you know, it may tell me something good, people hear it, and then they set up a go-fund me for this person, like, oh, they did such a good deed, and then they make $100,000. It's like, wow. Love it.

You're good man. Amy, you've been looking for your class ring from Texas A&M for years and years. Still no luck, huh? No luck. Nothing. At this point, do you think somebody stole it? Because they broke into your house, right? Yes.

Yeah. And they stole Air Force Academy Ring. Potentially that's when my Texas A&M. ring went missing or I lost it. It's like you're not so sure. Well, you've lost a lot of things. Right. But I know that I lost it in Southern Pines, North Carolina. That I'm probably if they stole it. Do you think they like sold it, melted it? I don't know. What do you do with jewelry? Pond it. Yeah. I just don't understand them punting. I, like what happens? Yeah. Like do they, what do they need it? I get if they pawn it, but what would a Pond Shop?

Want a class ring. You have to ask a pawn shop. What? Why would you buy a class ring? Because they do. They believe it. Right. Right. Why would you buy it though? Right. Metal? I don't know. I guess. I just can't see that. Oh, so you can't punch something. You're gonna go get a fight and you know you need something. Like, boom. Oh, no. Maybe. Hey, go get the class ring we just bought from the woman. Maybe you need to corroborate your story. You know, you following me here. So like, you say you went to a certain college and you didn't. So you go to the punch shop. Oh, you got to be Amy, though. That's funny.

Well, maybe they don't ask to look at the engraved part of the inside of the ring. And you're like, oh, yeah, class of 03. Well, anyway, the guy turned. in the ring at the airport. That's good. That's good. That's good. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the fourth.
