Here we go.
Welcome to Friday show. Morning, studio.
Morning. It's Dark's Day.
Ooh. Old Dark, Diggler will be in later.
Bentley. Dirk's Bentley will be in later.
Diggler. I was like, whoa.
Thank you very much for being here.
We'll go around the room and check out on everybody's lives.
That's what we do this time of morning up first.
Our video producer, Eddie, what up, Eddie?
Good morning.
Good morning.
So my 15-year-old son came to me and said, hey, I want to start watching Outer Banks
because all my friends at school have been watching it.
And I saw the first one.
I don't know.
I think there's two.
A season.
A season.
And I saw the first season probably two, three years ago.
I don't really remember it, but I do remember that it's kind of like they're a party crowd.
So they do stuff like hook up with each other and drink and stuff.
And I'm like, I don't know if I want my 15-year-old son watching this.
But he swears.
Dad, the entire school is watching this.
But I know Ray's seen it and I think Lunchbox has seen it.
Do you think it's okay for my 15-year-old to watch Outer Banks?
Lunchbox.
Yeah, he's 15 years old, man.
Ray.
Yeah, I mean, he's in high school.
He can definitely watch it.
Exactly what I'm saying.
Eddie's like telotubbies, right?
Like, exactly.
Is there any chance he can watch this without picking up me-me-me-bad habits?
Eddie, sometimes you're low.
overprotective?
Man, I mean, do I trust Ray in Lunchbox, though?
Well, okay, there's a site called
Common Sense Media, which Amy brought to us.
Yeah, I'm on it.
Come on, Amy.
That it's 12 and up, five stars.
12 and up, Eddie, 1915.
Oh, man, okay.
For outer banks.
Okay, hold on, there's two ratings here.
Parents say four out of five, so that's still really good.
Like, four out of five stars, and it's okay for a 12-year-old to watch.
Yeah, my son's 15.
And kids save five stars, of course.
I mean, is that he...
Well, I'm just saying...
There's a helicopter.
I remember watching this and being like,
ye, that's crazy.
He's also 15.
I know.
All right.
Thank you, Eddie.
Up next, lunchbox, everybody.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I got a question for you, Bobby.
And I need to know what I need to do.
You guys all got those Nashville SC jerseys the other day.
I didn't get one and I don't know why.
I'm the only one that in here that's a true fan.
I have season tickets.
And so do I need to threaten, like, send an email and say,
how I'm going to cancel my season tickets?
I think it was a mess up.
So for our listeners is a soccer team in Nashville,
the Nashville SC soccer club,
and they sent us all a Johnny Cash
jerseys.
Black jerseys. Like man in black jerseys.
They look awesome. They look awesome.
And I know nothing about it. I didn't think I got one.
I thought Eddie only got one. And I was like, oh, that's really cool.
I was a little jealous. Then we all had one.
And in typical fashion,
lunchbox. And somebody else didn't get one to.
Ray.
Did you ever get one, Ray?
No, I'm probably never going to get one because I told Scoob to drop it.
I've moved on.
One of you, it has arrived.
Oh, okay.
Hey, here we go.
It better not be right or I'm going to lose it.
Scoop would you bring it to me, please?
I am going to lose.
Because listen, the home opener is tomorrow.
Oh, really?
You see, that's what I'm saying.
Eddie doesn't even know.
It is the opening game of the NLS season.
Hey, that's cool, dude, we should go.
So they did send us this.
It's one they forgot to put in the shipment.
Let's go.
Who do you think it is?
Do you think it's?
I don't know.
Oh, it's got to be lunchbox.
You think it's Ray or lunchbox?
Got to be lunchbox.
Please be lunchbox.
I'm going to be so mad.
Like, because I have a, you know, you have those ticket people that you buy them, but she
give a ticket rep.
Yeah.
I want to send her an email.
But if you, if you.
And cancel your season tickets.
Yeah.
And be like, look, I don't know what's going on.
The disrespect is reaching an all time level, all time high.
Please be Abby's.
I mean, it's, there's no name on it.
So it's lunchboxes.
Let's go!
I didn't know who it was going to be.
Oh, man.
I just knew they had sent one up here.
Yeah.
Because he did not.
He wants his name.
Yeah, you don't want your name why?
Because you don't like hanging out with our listeners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
People are annoyed.
Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
What's what I'm talking about?
So I told you, since you ordered yours different, it probably was just taking longer.
Hey, I take everything back.
I said about National City.
You guys are amazing.
He's going to cancel his tickets.
And why is he number two?
I thought it was like 2023.
I don't know why he's number two.
That was my jersey number in high school, man.
Oh, God.
Uncle Rico over here.
The last one number I wore.
In what?
Soccer.
Oh, okay.
Oh, boy.
Okay, well, there's your answer.
You guys didn't have a number in high school?
Yeah, but I don't wear it.
Yeah, well, what number would you want me to put on there, man?
I don't know, man.
Although I should.
Because I was, I'm always like, I don't know, number one.
But I'm going to do the lunchbox and ask for my old high school football number now on my jerseys.
Which is what?
Yes, absolutely.
89.
Why would you not do that?
And then people are going to ask me, and I'm going to be embarrassed to tell them why my number is 89.
That's cool, dude.
That's cool.
You look good.
Okay, let's go over to Amy.
Here she is Amy.
Let's go.
What's going on in your life?
Well, I experienced customer service at its finest.
I had to have some work done on my patio.
Nothing crazy, but worker came out, did a great job, paid them.
Then a few days later, I get a handwritten thank you note in the mail from the company
with a $10 Amazon gift card.
I was like, okay, I will definitely be hiring you again.
So you just need to be giving a gift card and...
No, but I just thought...
A, they didn't have to send a handwritten.
and thank you note for hiring them.
And then they certainly didn't have to include a gift card to Amazon.
So I just thought it was like locking in that, hey, if you ever need us again,
we're your people.
So what they did is they overcharge you by $10 every time.
I don't know that that's true, but that's funny.
I don't know.
I just thought it was really nice.
All right, finally.
From Mount Pine, Arkansas, he loves his Hyundai SUV, and he's the guy that most kids want to be.
Bobby Bones.
Thank you very much.
Hey, here's the thing.
I made fun of Eddie.
maybe yesterday when it was like
I'll tell you man
maybe I'm getting old
but they just don't put as much
deodorant in the old deodorant stick
come on come on talk to me
well I looked at my deodorant and I didn't see any difference
I went home and looked at it
oh but then my ritual every morning
is I love cereal like love
cereal I need it every morning
they don't put as much cereal in the cereal boxes
anymore they literally don't
it's two bowls and it's almost all the way gone
hey you better believe it you put me on this and I'm like
oh my god Eddie's on to something
dang right so I it's two bowls
It's two bowls and there's just enough money for a full bowl
so you go ahead and you cap it off.
You must be big bowls.
No, they're normal balls.
Hey, I'm not big deodorant.
It's normal.
You're not big deodorant.
You know, I'm not using a live deodorant.
Yeah.
We can tell.
But I'm jumping on.
Dude, they're getting this.
They don't put near as much cereal in the boxes as they used to.
And just a normal box.
And they think we're dumb.
We're not.
We are, but this one we catch.
Okay.
Yeah, we are.
We all pay more because it's like they're putting less, but they charge more.
I wish they would overcharge me and give me a $10 gift card of the prize in the cereal.
then I would be like, I love this cereal.
Time to open up the mailbag.
You send an email and we read it all the air.
It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.
Hello, Bobby Bones, a coworker, friend, and I both love Morgan Wallen,
and I purchased pre-sell tickets for us to go see him in May.
In Houston, I purchased the tickets in November.
It's now February.
I've not been paid back for her ticket.
She told me she'd Venmo me the money back for her half,
but Venmo wasn't working then.
Upon finding out this information, she offered to bring me cash, and she never did that.
I've been patiently waiting since November for her half of the money that she owes me.
I'm not sure to kindly say it.
We work together.
We're also friends.
It's awkward.
What do I do?
Thanks for the advice.
It's greatly appreciated.
Signed, money for Morgan.
Well, this is pretty easy because Vimos working now.
Yeah, it is.
I just sent somebody some five bucks.
So you send a request, and you go, need my money.
Then you play him that Rihanna song.
You better have my money.
You just have it playing at your cubicle.
Hey, would you mind coming over?
We're talking about some stuff.
And you keep it jammed up.
But you do Venmo and then you do email and you go, hey, the show's coming up.
That's easy too.
Like getting closer to the show.
Show's coming up.
So I've got your money for the ticket.
If you go send it to Venmo, that's fine.
Or here's my cash.
Whatever it is.
It's a very easy thing.
It gets even easier as you get closer to the show.
But I would start with the Venmo request because it's working now.
Yeah.
I'm not sure it wasn't even working then.
I'll be honest with you.
Amy?
Yeah.
I mean, this is always hard.
It's awkward, but Venmo request is awesome.
Because they get an email notification or a text.
It's like so and so.
I mean, I love the request.
Sometimes I owe people money and they do the request thing.
I owe somebody money now.
I just thought about it.
Oh, see?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, me.
$200.
No, I do not owe you jack.
I don't see the request as a rude thing at all.
I see it as helpful.
Like, oh, yeah.
And then you get to just press the button and pay the, it's so much easier.
So hopefully that's exactly what will happen for you.
If not, hold the ticket to hostage or.
Yeah, that'd be healthy for it.
It'd be even healthier than what she's worried about being awkward.
Totally.
Yeah, hostage ticket holding.
Very healthy.
You should offer someone else the tickets.
You know what I mean?
Unless you get paid.
Say, hey, I'm going to, Tommy.
He loves Morgan Wall.
And he's like, if I have an extra ticket.
And I realize you hadn't paid for yours yet.
So, boom.
I sent you Venmo.
I'm playing B better have my money.
I still ain't got anything.
So, tick, talk, talk.
That's it.
All right.
Thank you for the email.
It's as easy as the first couple things I said.
Not that last option.
Oh, hi, hijacky.
That was a joke.
Yeah.
Holding it hostage.
All.
Thank you.
We've got your email and we've read it on the air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback.
Yeah.
I send everybody away on Thursday and I say don't come back unless you got a fun fact for tomorrow's show.
Right, everybody?
Right.
Fun fact Friday.
Around the room with the most fun fact, Amy, your first.
In 1946, a trapped moth caused an early computer model to malfunction.
And that's how we get the term bug as a reference to software.
I didn't know that.
Oh.
Yeah, I got to...
What year?
There was a computer in 46?
It was a computer model.
Uh-huh.
So some sort of...
Those things used to be huge.
They'd be like,
this thing can send one message to another
and it'd fill up an entire room.
Like way back in the day,
we would take all that.
Like, like a generator to send an email.
Crazy.
But I didn't know moth.
That's pretty interesting.
Lunchbox.
How long before you had to go pee?
Like, when you, oh, I can hold it.
And it's like, oh, and then you got to go pee.
From the moment that you realize you have to be?
Yeah.
I don't try to hold it very long.
That's bad for you, they said.
I guess how long are our segments?
Yeah.
Why do you ask?
Because wood frogs in Alaska, they hold their peeve for up to eight months.
Why?
How do they not explode?
Did that drink any more water?
It recycles inside their body, and it keeps them alive while the winter is going on.
That would be legit.
If our food can just recycle inside of us.
Yeah, that'd be cool.
They'd be just like in every eat.
Yeah, it'd be awesome.
All right, Eddie, what do you have?
So in the ocean, there is enough salt to cover the,
The entire world with 500 feet thick salt.
Like, that's how much salt there is.
The entire world.
Isn't that crazy?
Like, 500 feet tall of salt.
Think of when you're cooking.
Like, oh, a little pinch of salt.
Dude, that's how much salt.
That would be if you took it out of the ocean.
How did you figure that out?
I don't know.
They have to guess.
They guess.
At some point.
No, somebody took the salt.
The ocean is.
Morgan, go ahead.
Roller coasters were invented to distract Americans from sin.
So businessman Lamarcus Thompson
hated that Americans were tempted by saloons and brothels,
so he built roller coasters for good, clean fun.
Well, it only distracts him for, like, I don't know, three minutes.
Yeah, very short.
Back in the brothel we go.
That's fun, fellas.
Quick trip to the saloon and over to the brothel.
Yeah, sure.
I need to drink every this ride.
Holy cow.
Americans spent almost $100 billion a year on the lottery.
Now, that's a lot of money, but I don't like those stores that are like,
they spend $10 billion on chicken wings.
I'm like, what does that even mean?
Like, so here you go.
100 billion a year on the lottery is more than we spend on books, movies, music, video games,
and tickets to sporting events combined.
We spend more money on the lottery as Americans.
Books, movies, music, video games, and tickets.
You combine them all together.
It's still not as much that we spend on lottery tickets.
That's crazy, man.
Where if you read more books, you could actually make more money,
not have to buy lottery tickets.
But you had to spend money.
Once you read that book, you had to spend money to make that money.
No, you learn things you could do, like skills.
All right.
No, not all right.
If you say so, I mean, I'm not going to argue with you.
I just thought it was crazy.
We spent more money on lottery tickets and all those other things combined.
There's a lot of dreamers out there.
As a dreamer, you don't play the lottery.
As a dreamer, you chase your dream by doing the work and making a strategy to make it come true.
No.
That's a...
True.
No, that's called a grinder.
That's someone that wants to grind.
No, grinder's something different.
Okay, never mind.
Fun fact, Friday.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
There's a group in Tampa called the Rough Riders,
and they donate over 10,000 teddy bears to people who need a little love each year.
We collect teddy bears throughout the year.
We probably collect over 10,000, mostly from the community at large,
and we will sort the bears here in our warehouse at our facility in Tampa,
and we will redistribute them to children's hospitals, VA centers,
Assistant living centers, pretty much anybody in need of a teddy bear and little bit of love.
Are these guys the ones that are on horses?
Yes.
And so they're on...
I can see a bunch of guys on horses with teddy bears run through the neighborhood.
That'd be weird.
I mean, like, what the crap's happening?
They're on horses, and they're called the Rough Riders, because back in the day, President
Teddy Roosevelt, his cavalry was called the Roosevelt Rough Riders.
And that's also why they deliver Teddy Bears because of Teddy Roosevelt.
Thank you very much.
That is what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.

You're some of my best friends.
I just want to say, I love y'all, and you're the best.
Dang, either is a dare that somebody said,

It does sound like that.
Yeah, it almost sounds like somebody put them up to it.
Hey man, Colin act like you love these guys.
They're awful.
Or just like a really kind kid.
And Colton, thanks.
I appreciate that.
I always felt like the morning show
that I listened to growing up
was even though I never knew them.
Like I felt close to them.
Oh, yeah.
Like Tommy Smith and Big Dave
who I listened to growing up.
And also Bob Robbins.
But he played more music on the country station.
But Tommy Smith, they talked the whole time.
And I was like, man,
I want to be Tommy Smith's friend.
And then one day I met Tommy Smith
because he worked in the building
that I worked.
And I saw him in the hallway.
in Little Rock, because I worked Little Rock for a while.
He said, hey, he thought I was like an intern.
He was like, hey, would you give me some coffee?
Happened me twice in my career.
Once with Tommy Smith, once with Bob Cole in Austin.
They both thought I was an intern.
And they both asked me to get them something.
Wow.

the Bobby Bone Show here's one of our favorite moments from the last 10 years in Nashville
eddy claims that if you really love someone that going from west Virginia down to Tennessee is
not that far in distance I have decided that 10,000
to this charity, the National Angels, and I will walk from West Virginia down to Tennessee
carrying love on my back.
He's so talented.
I'm crossing the street, guys.
There he is.
100 miles.
You did it.
Tennessee.
Almost $200,000.
You made it.
Eddie, you made it.
How do you feel right now?

Oh, I feel good.
Hyundai is celebrating the 10-year journey of the Bobby Bone Show.
Live from Nashville.
You don't say love you show.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
The largest four-day workweek experiment has wrapped, and we have the results.
I saw it. Interesting.
Most of those companies are going to stay four-day work weeks, huh?
They studied all these companies for six months, and yeah, 92% of them say that they're going to keep the policy going forward.
And this part was interesting to me because 15% of the employees, now they're so used to it, and they love it, that no amount of money could get them to go back to five days.
That's Bullcraft because we know it could.
I saw that too.
They said no amount of money.
Yeah, it would.
Or no money at all once they get fired if you don't go back to five days.
True.
But, yeah, almost every one of the companies found that their productivity was higher.
People get in more rest.
Helped.
For that four days, they were more dialed in and focused because they knew they had to get a lot done so they could get that fifth day off.
Okay.
Pretty wild study.
I can't wait until they go to the three-day experiment.
Yeah.
It's a constant experiment until we put everything in one hour.
We don't have to work in a hour.
Yeah, we didn't go to work and get paid.
Wow.
Yes, okay.
A TikToker is sharing a customer service hack.
I personally haven't tried it myself,
but we all know how exhausting it is to call
and then immediately get put on hold
or you're trying to talk to an automated system
and they don't understand you.
Well, apparently, if you hit zero pound, zero pound,
that'll take you right to a human.
I've tried zero.
Sounds like a scammer.
Yeah, it's risky.
This is something that I feel like
is not going to end up good.
Sometimes zero has taken me there.
Yeah, if it's like, hey, push for whatever, you hit zero operator, sure.
Yeah.
But zero pound, I feel like I'm getting charged like 1999.
Every time hit pound.
We have to do it.
Zero pound, zero pound, zero pound.
So if anybody has a customer service call, they can try that hack today to see if it works.
So Zach Bryan met a young guy at the airport.
His name is Wynne Williams and he was carrying a saxophone case.
So he goes up to Zach, hey, I'm a fan.
I hope to catch one of your shows, but couldn't get tickets to the show in Aspen.
So Zach said, hey, if you come to my show with that saxophone, you get on stage, you perform, you got tickets.
What do we learn here?
Walk around with a random instrument case.
Get free tickets.
Even if you don't play it, just find Zach Bryan.
Well, yeah, but then he's going to ask you to play.
And you're going to be like, oh, crap.
Don't get up there.
Be like, oh, man, I forgot my re.
How many strings.
Good thing for a win.
He took him up on it and he killed it.
I told you guys about the Green Day concert I went to where they brought people up to play.
Yeah.
And the guy just did not know how to play guitar.
He was terrible.
Couldn't play guitar.
Like the drummer, the bass player,
the bass player, and they got,
Oh, man.
It's a disaster.
Hilarious.
But yeah, good for that kid.
Ben Rector met his, I think,
sax player on Instagram.
He was like, yeah, I'm a big fan.
I play Sacs University of Nebraska.
So Ben took him out on the road with him.
That's cool.
Love that.
Yeah.
I mean, I have no need for once.
If you're a, I don't need a sax player.
Sorry, dude.
It'll message me, but that's pretty cool.
All right, is that it?
I'm Amy. That's my pile.
That was Amy's Pile of Star.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Tell me something good.
Look who's back.
Back again.
Say hi with a snowman is back.
Tell a friend.
It's a thing.
What was all that?
Was that part of the story?
No, no.
I ad-lived that because it's back for the third year in a row.
It's something with the Colorado Children's Hospital where kids in the hospital,
they design their perfect snowman.
and like whatever they want to see on a snowman,
they draw a picture of it.
And the hospital reaches out to volunteers in the community
that build those snowmans.
Snowmen.
Snowmen.
Snowmen.
Snowmen.
Or snowmen.
Or snow women.
And it encourages people to be active in the community.
It gets kids out of the house to help build the snowmen.
And then they send pictures and videos to the kids in the hospital and say,
here's your snowman.
That's awesome.
Yeah, I love it.
It's just you threw us off guard with the M&M deal at the beginning.
Well, yeah, because it was back.
I mean, if it was.
this time. Just try to hit it this time. Go.
Look who's back. Back again.
Say hi with the snowman. It's back.
It's just too many syllables.
It would be like, look who's back.
Back again. Snowman's back.
Tell a friend.
No, but it's called. You got to commit, though.
The hashtag on social media is say hi with a snowman.
Yeah, do you have to say that though on the entry?
Like the hashtag?
Well, how else are you going to know what's back?
You're saying the story.
I'm going to say, oh, this thing.
Go. Three, one. Go.
there's a thing back
Oh my God
Guess who's back
Oh snowman's back
And then I go to
The hashtag later
Is what you're saying
You did it yeah
But how cool
