Let's start with a little bit of controversy here on the show. Amy said that she didn't know it was going to be so controversial to have a cat.

What did you do? I bathed her. The kitten. I gave her a bath and I put a picture up on like a video online of her in Stashear's arms because she looks so cute, wet. And I mean, people started debating each other whether or not you should bathe cats and one woman or guy. I don't know exactly who they are, but they felt super passionate about the fact that you shouldn't bathe cats and she called me idiotic for doing so. And I was like, whoa, idiotic. I guess we had a couple cats growing up. We never

bathed them because they licked themselves. Yeah, that's what they were saying. And so, listen, I don't know. Did you look it up? No, I want to bathe my cat. I don't care. I saw some vets comment on there, or one girl that was in vet school saying it was okay to bathe the cat, and I saw

that as my permission to continue bathing the cat. Not all the time. But, I mean, every so once in a while, I mean, they go inside of a litter box. And then they come out and we're just supposed to be okay with that? I know. Good point. I'm bathing the cat.

You know, I'm being told to shower a little more these days. And I consider myself somebody who is clean. But I've been only getting about one a day sometimes. You a little stinky? I guess so. And I don't really get up in my armpits. But when we lay down, Caitlin's head, she's smaller than I am. And so, but she'll put her head on my shoulder, which puts kind of her in that spot.

And she's like, you need to go shower? Or she'll go, did you forget to put on deodorant? Because that could be another reason too. And when you live by yourself and you're just, man, live in footloose and fancy free. You don't have to worry about that. But now she's like, that doesn't smell good. So I'm having to shower a little more or re-deotorize a lot more.

Sometimes it finally do it like a mild workout. I think I can get away with it. I'll just put deodorant on. Just to see if she notices. That's like middle school, dude. Here's the thing. She notices. Yeah, they always do.

Of course. So let's look up if you should bathe your cat. Like what is the official rule on bathing a cat? What do you think it is, Eddie? No. I don't think you should. They can handle themselves. What if they get in, like, mud?

No. They lick it off? They can lick it off themselves. Watchbox? I don't think you're allowed to. I've never seen someone bathe their cat. I mean, because they're claws. They just get mad.

They rip your skin off. Yeah, plus they hate it. Those claws, they do get me. Okay. Here's what it says. This is from the National Cat Groomers Institute of America. Ooh. Cats do a good job of cleaning most debris from their coat,

but their self-grooming won't get everything out, nor will it make them smell any nicer. The National Cat Groomers Institute of America recommends a bath once every four to six weeks. Wait, way, way, this is the groomers association. They want business. So, but they care about cats. You're not saying take it in and spend money on it. Where else are you going to do it?

You do it yourself. Stasier, put it in the shower with her. How did the cat feel about that? She didn't really love it so much. We might try the kitchen sink next time. Speaking of your daughter, here's a voicemail we got about her. Hey there, I'm calling for the sake of Doshira. I saw Amy posted something about her nails on her Instagram story.

And Amy, I'm pretty sure you put the press phones on upside down. I don't want her to get made fun of or get me anything at school. So just wanted to reach out. And even if it doesn't get on the air, please tell Amy. Please tell Amy. She's crying. You got her crying. I put them on upside down?

Yeah. Oh. Okay. Probably the subject is so much ready to. No, I mean, they've already, that, they've already come off. Like, but yeah, they were on for a little bit, and they were flashy, let me tell you. But she really wanted them, and they're pushed on, so who cares, it's fine. But, yeah, I think, yeah, I thought they looked a little weird.

She's like, now that you think about it. Sorry. We have something to announce later on in the show. Lunchbox, upon further review, thinks his diamond, his rocks are worth money. Oh. Well, because we know. It's not a diamond. We know it's not a diamond, but he found something else, and he's like, I don't know how I didn't see this earlier.

Okay. Okay. So later on in the show, he went to the diamond mine. Didn't find any diamonds, but he's found something now he claims is very, very valuable and quite worthy of time to talk about today on the show. So I'm going to give him a few minutes later on to talk about this. It is 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.

Yeah. Hello. Oh, Bobby Bones. I purchased a new side-by-side UTV, which is a utility task vehicle, which is pretty pricey. I had some friends over, and one guy asked if he could drive it.

He decided to gas it and tried to spin it around. Oh, no. And he flipped it. Luckily, he was okay, but it did break some of the plastic on the side, probably around $200 worth of damage. He feels bad and keeps apologizing, but has not offered to pay for the damages.

Now I understand it was my property, and I decided to let him drive it, but if the rolls were swapped, I would offer to pay for the damages. Should I ask him to cover the damage cost or just consider it a loss and not let him drive it anymore? From Kyle R.

By the way, these side-by-sides are awesome. We went to buy one during COVID at Bass Pro because they have a similar one to what he has, and they were sold out in the middle of COVID. They had one there. We were trying to buy it. It was awesome. Drive it over on the property.

That's pretty cool. Then COVID left, and we were like, Yeah, we don't need it anymore. But if you did, it's really cool. It's like a golf cart, but basically a tractor golf car. His buddy wrecked it, $200. Amy, what would you tell him? I mean, I would say that it's a loss unless you feel comfortable asking for the money.

But it's a bummer that, yeah, he's not offering because, yeah, that's what you would do. It's what I would do. But if it's still, it's something you're probably going to have to invest in and be out the money if you want it fixed. Eddie? I don't think there's anything wrong with having the conversation of, hey, man, So we priced the thing out. We've got to get it replaced. It's going to cost about $200.

Do you mind paying that since you broke it and then see where it goes? If the guy's like, sure. You would have that conversation. Yeah. Do you mind paying it? Are you able to pay $200? You would have that conversation with somebody that's not a super close friend. Yeah.

You would. Yeah. And then you see where it goes. If he says yes, boom. All taken care of. If he says no, then you go, okay, all right, I'll take care of it. You can't afford it right now. You take it as a loss.

Good for you. I don't think I'm mature enough to do that. Really? Mm-hmm. I think $200. I would go, you know what, that's on me.

He flipped it. What's on you? You've done nothing. You've let him drive it. Come on, and I'm sure there's some sort of deductible that's like $500 or $1,000 on this thing. So you don't want to hit insurance with it.

That's true. I would probably just pay for it myself and just be more careful about who I let drive it. Yeah, it's a lesson learned for sure. Also, what's the idiot doing trying to do? I know, come on. It's not even your property. What'd you say?

They were probably drinking. Probably so. So two to one, Kyle, I think you have the right to ask him for it. I'm just telling you what I would do. I'd probably be like, oh. Because it'd be an awkward conversation. Yeah, it'd be really awkward.

You can, but I would choose not to personally. But if you want to hit him up, text them would be like, hey, the damage from that was $200. Would you mind helping out with this? There you go. If you have the courage and the maturity to do that, go for it. I do not. Ray, what would you do?

If they're already riding on it, you're comfortable with there being something going wrong with it. And that's exactly what happened. Oh. So you'd accept the $200. The minus $200 bucks? Correct. Yeah.

Would you feel weird, though, if he asked for the money? Um, I mean, just avoid that. Is it really worth it? I mean, if it was a major situation, that's one of those you kind of gloss over, right? 200 bucks, though. That sounds almost like, uh, super, like, what is it? Like, it's on the very outside of something? Superficial.

But it's not even very major. Okay. Thank you, Ramundo. Three to one, we'd let it go. Mm-hmm. All right. Thank you. Uh, that's the mail back.

Close it up. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby Mailbag. Yeah. They're doing a documentary on someone they call the Tender Swindler, who posed as the son of a billionaire, called himself the Prince of Diamonds,

and then conned women out of their life savings. Wow, on Tinder. Yeah, if you're so rich, why do you need people's money? Yeah, like, if I'm a billionaire, but I need a little bit of cash, because I'm strapped right now so I can get to my billions. I mean, is that the play? Yeah, maybe they somehow presented as, like, it's all tied up.

it's not what's the word fluid it's not liquid Simon Hyatt 30 was convicted of fraud in 2019 after scamming women claiming he was the prince of diamonds the son of a diamond merchant he was snaring women on Tinder and using their cash for dates his story will be told in a new Netflix true crime documentary by Felicity Morris that's crazy Morgan did you ever have anybody catfish

or maybe catfish isn't the word tried to deceive you when you were on these apps as something they weren't. Yes, I mean, I would meet people and they would look different than their pictures. That would happen. Significantly different? Like, they would probably use the photos that were like five years old, so a little bit. Just wonder what their move is with that. Do they expect that you get there and then when they don't look the same, you're just like,

we'll just give it a shot anyway. Yeah, I think some people anticipate that because they're like, oh, personality, but then they forget that most people, like you have to be attracted to them on some level, right? So, yeah, I think that's part of it. I think they just hope that their personality will win out over the photos. Or maybe they think they can get back in shape before you actually go on the date.

Like, I'll put this up there, and it really motivate me in those six days before I got to go meet her. And how do you react to that when you get there and they don't look like you thought they were? Most of the time I just go through the date and then I, you know, I'm like, hey, this won't work. So I'll go through the date, was never bad enough that I was like, okay, I just got to leave. So I just kind of put up with it

for two hours and, you know, wasted a little bit of my life. But did you ever go, you know what? I know he doesn't look the same, but I think I'll do it again. Go on a second date. No. That never happened. And there was, there is even sometimes, like, people put group photos in so you think you're going out with one of their friends and then another one of the guys shows up. No way. Oh, yeah. But I would think in those, because I was on dating apps for a while, too. If that would happen, you scroll to the second or third picture and there'd be more of a solo picture. Oh, no.

Some only have group photos. See, that's just setting up for failure. Yeah, but at some point when you're communicating, don't you say, hey, which one are you? Yeah, but one of them lied. Oh. They lied about which one they were in the group? What?

Let's do a documentary on this. Yeah. This Tinder Swindler convinced a victim to open a line of credit in her name so that she could pay for her expenses and protect herself from her enemies, she eventually lost $200,000. So distraught, she had to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Oh, my.

He was eventually arrested and imprisoned, but was released after serving five months of a 15-month sentence. I mean, he must have been good. That's a nice little trick, though. He's not asking for their money for them. He's like, hey, you need to hire this company to protect you if you're with me. And he's also the company. That's next level thinking.

I've been catfish twice. one story you know about from when the guy was acting like the girl I never met him and that thing all played out on the air sadly to my well not benefit because it all happened on the air

it was a girl she was like I'm a guest jean's model turns out it was like a little bitty guy who was tricking guys for money I didn't even get him that much money later was on the news did you give me any money no I didn't get many I'd have any or maybe I would have

but before catfishing was a thing somebody tricked me and used to They were like, I'm going to come up to the radio station to meet you. And I was like, 18. And I was like, okay. And I would wait in my car after radio, but like, okay, she never came. She called like three nights.

I'm going to come meet you. Never came. So when she called, like, you all had a connection. Like, why did you want to meet her? I don't know. She wanted to request Mambo number five or something. And she was a girl. I was 18.

I was a loser. I was like, okay. But like three times she's like, I'm coming up. And she never came up. So Catfish 2, Bobby Zero. I didn't have the skills of the tinder swindler. Bobby Bonesh. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood.

Morgan No. 2's 30 Second Skinny. Kane Brown released his collaboration with her. The song is called Blessed and Free. Yeah, I'm already blessed. Yeah, I'm already blessed and free. Blessed and free. Yeah, I'm already blessed. Yeah, I'm already blessed and free.

Pistolani's announced a Christmas album. It's called Hell of a Holiday. Old Dominion talks about their song. I was on a boat that day. This character in our story is much like the world that we live in. You know, he's gone through a tough time and, you know, he's just trying to get past a tough time. So what better way to do that than to get on a boat and get away from it all? So you can't not enjoy yourself and get away from it all when you're on a boat, right?

I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So when this woman, Ashley Smith, was only eight years old. her house burned out. She lost everything as a kid,

and her parents were definitely more focused on, okay, we need shelter, we need food, what are we going to do to take care of ourselves? But as a kid, she was like, what happened all my toys? So now that she's an adult, she's created a nonprofit that focuses on getting toys into kids' hands

who've lost everything because of a wildfire. And so she just donated 20,000 toys to the children affected by the Caldor Fire. What's great about that is, is that there are groups that are out helping people get their life back on track. But I think a lot of that comfort stuff is lost because it's not felt as it's a primary need. Right. But for a kid, it is a need.

And since she experienced it as a kid back in 2007, she knows what it feels like. And so her mission is, yeah, let the other people take care of food, water, shelter, adult stuff. She wants to take care of the kid's stuff. That's awesome. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for Eddie, the oldest on our show. 42 years old versus Morgan number two

So because of that Money money money money An artist was given $84,000 By a museum And they said take this money And go make a work of art Oh boy That's quite the advance

This guy must be really good Big commission 84 grand And say go do your thing And you bring it back to us And we want to highlight you Highlight the art And so when he delivered the people

he was supposed to make. It wasn't what they thought it would be. Instead, the artist, Jen's Heng, gave the Museum of Art two blank canvases and said they were titled, Take the Money and Run. Oh, see, that's real art right there. I love it.

I mean... Argue that it's not art. Exactly, you can't. Tell the story and then put the canvases up. And it made this news. That's so cool. You know what's like the person who took the banana up against the wall?

Do you guys ever see that one? No. Or the person who did the invisible thing? Yeah. What was that? Nothing. It was invisible and they got paid for it, but it's art. And they sold like an NFT of it or something for a ton of money.

More money. A con man from Louisiana allegedly made over $300,000 by tricking airlines and believing they had lost his luggage on more than 180 occasions. Oh my. From 2015 to 2020, he kept pulling this. He's looking at up to 20 years in prison. Whoa. I mean, I haven't heard of that scam before.

So he never had luggage, but he would just tell him that it was gone? I would assume this happened. This is me just assuming, right? The story I tell myself about this guy is that he did it once because it really happened to him. And he was like, it was that easy? Let me do it again. Let me do it again. Yeah, and he's flying that much?

A fraudster made over $300,000 by convincing American Airlines United Southwest. They had lost his luggage on more than 180 occasions. JetBlue in Alaska also fell victim to Pernell Jones Jr.'s, fraudulent lost luggage claims over a five-year period. Wow. And now up to 20 years in jail. He had been submitting fake claims for lost luggage. He racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I mean, at some point, though, don't you go, I've just made six figures. I need to stop. No. Eventually, I'm going to get caught. It's not the way our minds work. We want more, always. The ploy involved him booking domestic flights using preloaded gift cards in order to avoid leaving a trace of his real name and address so he can make bookings under a fictitious identity.

What? He would then fly in or out of New Orleans Airport using a forged form of identification before claiming the airline had lost the luggage for that person that he made up. I mean, the fact that he flew like that is more scary to me. But I don't know that he ever got on a plane and flew. Oh, okay. It doesn't sound like he actually got on the plane. I don't know.

Does it? Well, if he did, that's what worries me as like why was he able to fly? Or make it through security. Prosecutors claim Jones became so. brazen in his money-making plot that sometimes he wouldn't even bother bringing a bag along with him. Exactly. He was still able to obtain a ticket for a checked bag and then file a fake lost luggage claim. And then sometimes for like 3,500 bucks. He's also charged with mail fraud. I don't see anything about him actually going up in a plane. Okay, well, maybe not up, but if he

made it through security. Do you know, I don't even know that he made it through security? But it just hit me how he did it. He would go to those kiosk and say one check bag. So you print out your little, But don't they check you there? Whenever I have to go through that, they also give you a ticket. Yes. Because it's on the thing. They just peel it off and you put it on your own luggage. Boom. And then he would just get the ticket and then walk away.

And I guess he didn't go through security with the ID until. Because they do say do you have a ticket? That's incredible. Wow. Which part's more incredible to you? The money or the fact that you want to jail for 20 years? Well, 20 years, it's a little harsh. Come on, man.

I mean, all he did was get some. I don't think so. You're messing with all kinds of things. $300,000. If you go rob a bank for $300,000. that's 20 years. Boy, that guy went hard. Yeah, you know.

Like, that's the kind of guy you ask, like, hey, what other stuff you're thinking about so we can stop other people from doing it? Like, you use this kind of person to your advantage. Like, we'll peel a few years off. Creatively think of some other scams. You know, that's what they do sometimes with terror activity. Yeah, and hackers.

They bring in, especially with things like terrorist, you know, domestic terrorist stuff. They go, okay, let's bring it some really creative people. What would you do? How would you get, how would you terrorize us? And then they kind of do, you know, You know, at one point in my career, last year, I hired people to listen to the show

and tell me how they would beat my show. I mentioned this on the air. Yeah. I paid two different people that I trusted to listen to the show for a month and then give me the game plan and how to beat me if I were to launch a new show against me.

Like I wanted, and they did, and I paid them in my company, I got kind of mad at that. But you know what? I did it because I felt like that's how I could figure it out. And just so you know, he did fly on those planes. He did? Yeah, upon landing, prosecutors say

Jones would then tell the airline it had lost his luggage. So you can get on planes that easily in it like that? Yeah, so he was going through security. He was going up and presenting a lost baggage claim. I'm surprised the ID would go through because you have to swipe that. Don't you have to, like they look at your ID? Not all the time. Yes, they always check your ID.

No, no, no, no, but they don't always scan it. But they look at your face. Is he getting a fake ID every time? Probably. Or, I mean, that, up it. That makes it scarier. Up it. We need more than 20 years.

You can't do this. People can't do this. You can't fool. But we'll pill some back if you tell us how. Because, like... Yeah, that's true. Luckily, his scam was, you know, luggage money. What if he was, like, wanting to do something crazy on an airplane?

I mean, oh. And can we not give him all the credit? He had a buddy with him. There was two of them. It's a buddy fire roster. Ransom errands. Finally, one more story about money. It's unfortunate but common when a family's fight over inheritance happens after a death.

This teenager got the money. and everybody else is mad at him. A granddaughter is refusing to split her inheritance with anybody or her sister. 19 year old is taking care of her sick grandpa for six months, so he left her $60,000. Wow. And everybody else is up, S. Creek.

She's 19 years old. But she was the one that took care of him. For the last six months. Okay, yeah, that's not a long, long time. But taking care of any elderly person, if you're the primary caregiver, that's a lot of work. It's a lot.

And if those other... Grandpa did what Grandpa did. You got to respect Grandpa's rights. And those other family members, they weren't there doing it. And that's what we call money, money, money, money. Thank you. I can't believe he got up in the plane. The story I read never had him going up in the plane.

That makes it scarier. Yeah. But he wasn't doing it for that. He was doing it for the money. He was doing it for the money. But he has to create a fake ID every time because you have to pull your mask down for them to go, okay, that's you. Yes, and then.

And with each name he's using. And the cost of tickets, so I mean, is he really making that much money? Yeah, he is. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Voice mails, we get voicemails. It's the same number that when you call the show, just this line picks up and we encourage you leave us a message. 877 Bobby.

Guys, I'm about two weeks behind listening to the podcast, and I finally got to the point where Lunchbox does this celebrity bit next to a tour bus. You have officially topped the cringiness of Scott's Cots. Oh my God, Lunchbox. You're not famous, dude. just enjoy riding the curtails of Bobby and Amy. Scott's Tots is the cringiest episode of the office. Oh, for sure. Where he promises all the kids is going to send them to college when they're in like first grade,

then he has to go back and be like, sorry, I can't afford it now. So that's our Scott's Tots apparently. Congratulations. Thanks. And I don't know what curtails are, but, I mean, if anything, I'm riding my curtails. True. We're for sure riding your curtails. Here's number two.

Hey, Bobby Bone Show, first-10 caller. My husband is a Potterhead. And in fact, he has watched the movie hundreds of times. I even caught him watching with closed captions on so he could catch the names of all the characters and places. So maybe lunchbacks and Eddie should try that so they could pass their quiz. Just some advice, guys. Oh, yeah, good point. I watch everything with close captions on.

Still don't remember the names. I watch everything now, period. Why do you do it? Because I do it because I have four kids. It's so loud in order for me to listen to anything, I have to read it. It's a different set of circumstances. every time. One, it could be Stanley or a bulldog snoring if it's in the evening

and he's in our bedroom, just non-stop. Two, it could be, I may be losing a little bit of my hearing for wearing headphones my whole life. Oh, man, yeah. Three, our living room, the TV sound, we've tried everything, it's not perfect. Just different reasons. Yeah, it works for us. No, I love it. Mostly probably number two. Here's one more. Morning studio. I've been listening for a really

long time now since 2008 through iHeart radio and i had this thought that i think amy has just gotten funnier since she became a mom has anyone else noticed that her jokes are great now like she will insult lunchbox no problem really anyone on the show so just curious if anyone else has noticed that love you guys you're a bit more insulting now that's a mom that's true i just realized that leave us your voicemails if you want 877 77 bobbie it's mainly a podcast listener thing but if you're listening now and you can't get in, hit it up. The Babba Bow Show.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So a McDonald's worker supposedly got back at a rude customer by putting sweet and sour sauce all over the top of their McFlurry instead of caramel sauce. Okay, that's funny, but I don't like people messing with food. You can't do that. You can't do that. It does look similar.

And if a customer's rude, that stinks, and maybe they'll serve time for it in karma jail. But I don't like that. I don't like messing with food. Yeah, so when you worked in food, though, did you ever, I know you would never do it. But like, did you see other waiters or anybody? And if I did, that would have been the end of that. Because I'd beat them up.

No, I'm just kidding. I told on them. But no, you don't mess people's food. I don't care. Either you don't serve them because they're a jerk or you serve them the food that they ask for and let karma do their justice. Yeah, so the person, I guess, posted the video to social media to be like, ha-ha, look what I'm doing. Fired. Yeah, they were.

They have to be. But it's like, that's also kind of a bonehead because why would you put yourself out there? I was watching a TikTok of a guy who worked for, we'll say one of the companies like FedEx or UPS, okay? Or Amazon, like a delivery guy. And he was like, if I see this certain political flag, I don't deliver their package. Just take it back and be like, oh, you weren't there. And then somebody else stitched it, which means they did a TikTok on the same one. And he goes, okay, hey, I just found you.

Tracked him on Facebook because of their name, reached out to their FedEx manager, told him the guy got fired. Got it. Wow. Mm-hmm. Do you see that, Mike? He said... Oh, company name. Yeah, well, I said all three of them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said like a FedEx or an Amazon or a UPS or D-HL. Or, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, what else? So, how do you all feel? We're 90 days or less than until Christmas, but a hotel has put up a Christmas tree in their lobby.

And guests went to check in and they were like, oh, taking a back. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, hi, pump the brakes on Christmas. What hotel was it? Gossela. I don't know how to say it. If it was in the North Pole, it'd be okay. I'm just saying the closer to Antarctica, the more acceptable it is. Yeah. No, but I mean, when is everybody going to start decorating for Christmas on the show?

Because I feel like... I'm fine with it. Whatever makes you happy, how about it? It's too early, man. Okay, great. For you. You had a snowman up in your yard until March of last year. Okay, great. Everybody's got a reason. And it was Santa, by the way. Hey, everybody's got a reason. I feel like Eddie's the kind of person if he walked in this hotel and saw it, he would put in a guest complaint.

Totally. I would write in that comment box. Buh. Pick that down. It would be funny. But also, they're probably doing it for the exact reason we're talking about it. Just for reaction. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Good point. It should put one up in like July. Like, that would get real reaction. Well, yeah, they do. Some places do do Christmas in July. Never seen a hotel do one. Oh.

All right. Next. Alan Jackson revealed to Genebush Hager on the Today Show that he has a CMT disease that he's inherited. which stands for Charcot-Marie Tooth Syndrome. I thought you're talking about the channel. I was the C&T disease. Yeah, same letters. But it affects the signals that your nerves send to your arms,

your hands, your legs, and your feet. And he actually was diagnosed 10 years ago, but is just now talking about the condition. And yeah, he inherited it from his dad. And that stinks. And we hope he's able to fight through that and continue making music. But isn't it weird how the body has all these little things we have no idea about and anyone thing can mess you up.

Oh, yeah. Billions of, like, what is that again? Not the name of it. Like, what is it? It affects the nerves that, the signals to your nerves that allow you to move your arms, your legs. And he wanted to. The signals. We can hurt it.

We can mess up a signal. And he wanted to put it out there too because as he's performing, he didn't want people to think that he was drunk on stage if he's stumbling at all. But then he could get drunk on stage and just go as much. And then blame it on that. Oh. If he wanted to. Ah, that stinks. Hope he's able to.

like that and, you know, still go out and play music. All right. I'm Amy. That's my pal. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Oh, Todd, he's stressed out in life.

Things are just going bad. Had a stressful week. Going to go out and do some mountain biking. He puts his helmet on, gets on his bike riding. Boom, he crashes and hurts his chest. Paramedics respond, and he's in dire straits. Well, luckily, there's another. There's another mountain biker that rolls up.

Happens to be a doctor. Forms an emergency tracheotomy right there on the mountain bike trail. Put a hole in his throat. Put a hole in his throat because he couldn't breathe. That's a real deal. You know what? All that's awesome. Like the fact, too, that you're so lucky that someone comes out behind you that's also a doctor and could do,

because not all doctor, a podiatristian, I don't do an emergency. Trachioleomy? That being said, you used a term we've never heard you used before, so you must have been exposed to it recently. What is it called? Dyer Straits. Yeah. I don't know how I got that.

Is it on the paper? Not that I see on here. I thought that was just a band. Is that a real thing? It is, yeah. And did he use it correctly? He did? I think maybe I heard a news story about someone was in dire straits.

Maybe I was watching a date line something. Okay. And so I just heard it and I was like, oh, that sounds like they're in trouble. So I'm going to use it sometime. That's smooth, huh? Yeah, sounded good. You owned it. Dyer Straits, the definition is in a very bad or difficult situation.

Oh, good job, lunch. Bokevary word of the day. Hit it. You know those calendars? There's not hitting it. We don't have a sounder. Yeah, you know, we should have a sounder. Vocabulary word of that.

You can't even say vocabulary. Yeah. But hey, shout out Dr. Jesse Conan, who happened to be mountain biking and did that tracheotomy. Yeah, it's good. Got him out of the dire straits. Okay, now you don't have to do it again. All right, that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

Put your thinking caps on. Let's try to figure out the investigative morning corny. Here we go. A morning corny. What's the cutest of all seasons? Okay, we have 90 seconds, guys. All seasons. Spring.

Spring. Summer. Autumn. Winter. Winter. The cutest of all seasons. Cuteest. When a spring, summer and fall.

Not a holiday lunchbox. A season. But there are only spooky season. Oh, there's, there's a Cizzen Ramundo. Oh, that's my vote. He's kind of cute. Yeah, he's cute little guy.

I'm not voting for that. The cutest season. There's winter, winter. Season. What's the time left, Mike? Fall. Fall's not going to be it. Autumn. Autumn's a season? Autumn is fall.

I like Cizzen Raimundo. No, it's offspring. All right, do that one then. I like a personal choice of Cizzen Ramundo. Okay. Because I don't think it's offspring and I want to give our boy Susan a shout out. Why not? The morning.

I'm really getting into Only Murder in the Building on Hulu, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. And she's really good in it. Really? Yeah, I think that's her thing.

Her music's fine. Yeah, but acting is where she will. I guess maybe acting on music. Well, she's a Disney kid. Yeah. But she's good in it. They're all really good. To me, they're only 30 minutes.

If you have Hulu, the first couple episodes, you're just trying to figure out what it's about. But it's about these people who live in this apartment building. They don't know each other. But they all listen to this murder podcast. and then there's a murder in their building and they kind of come together and they start doing a podcast trying to figure out who the murderer is.

That's cool. It's funny, it's kind of goofy, but it's also like a murder mystery. But I recommend it. We're not done yet, but it's called Only Murderers in the Building on Hulu. Anybody what are you watching?

Okay, so I started watching a show called Ordinary Joe. There's only one or two episodes out right now and describe it. What's it about? Okay, so Ordinary Joe. It's a guy named Joe. and he's graduating college, and he's got three ways to go.

He's like, all right, do I go with the girl that I've been kind of seen and dating through college and go see where that life takes me? Do I go straight and go with this girl? I just met on graduation day. I kind of like her, or do I go have lunch with my family? And that could lead me to being a cop because my whole family are all cops. True story or fiction? No, fictional.

It's written. Okay, got it. So he basically has to just kind of, he's standing there and goes, all right, what's my life going to be in these three, if I take these three different directions. And then it's hypothetical. And the first episode is so good. It's like, oh, he plays out every scenario he thinks that his life could be.

What platform? It's on NBC. Oh, like TV. NBC TV. And it's live. So I think there are only two episodes now and it's going to come out weekly. Okay. So I guess that'd be pretty easy to find then.

Especially if you can talk into your remote. Mostly those shows are just on demand too if they've already aired. Like if I was in a boardroom at NBC and they pitched that show to me, I'm all in. I don't know if it's going to be good. I have no clue, but the first episode got me. Ordinary Joe. Have you watched it? 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Oh, Lord. Morgan, what did you watch? So there's a new show on Netflix. You could call it a documentary. It's called Top Secret UFO Projects Declassified. And I've always believed in aliens. I'm all about space and all of that stuff. And this whole series is them talking about finally all of the stuff we got in that new law that

got passed when the government had to release all of the information they had on UFOs, extraterrestrials, everything. And I'm not going to give anything away. But they're aliens. She doesn't want to spoil it. She's like, but they talk to them. They interview them. I'm just going to say there's so much that they've been holding from us. And they have all these specialists on talk about these instances that happened so many years ago, like in the 1950s. And now we're in 2021 and 70 years later. We're looking back on it finally for the first time, it's wild. Like the imagery is a little cheesy because obviously they don't have video of these incidents. Claymation. It's like Gumby. But they do like, they have these panelists on and they

talk about it. And so the panelist part, like if you're listening to it, it's so good and so interesting. If you're into aliens at all. I read a lot of those or I read the abbreviated version of them. And they said they really didn't find anything. Oh yeah. No, that's a lie. They're lying to you both. Okay. Eddie, your show is called Ordinary Joe. Your show's called Top Secret UFO Projects Declassified. And that's on... Netflix.

And mine's only murders in the building on Hulu. On Hulu. Hulu. Ha, bud. If I were to play this song right here, what game show would it be? Jeopardy. Yeah. Maybe the most classic game show music ever.

That's not... That's the theme song, is it? Oh, is that just when they're thinking? It's the waiting. No, no, it's the theme song. Is it when it comes out? Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

I don't think so, Eddie. They don't think it starts like this. Really? Yeah. But it is the what we know Jeopardy from. Okay. So, you guys write your answers down. Amy, lunchbox.

Eddie. If you miss it, you're out. Why do we do that? What? Because they're pretty easy. I like the good comeback story. Yeah, sorry. All right, here we go.

Name this game show. Amy. Price is right. Lunchbox? One of my goals in life is to be on the price and right. The price and right. Oh, the price and right? Price is right.

Okay. Interesting. Eddie? Price is right. Next up, name this TV game show theme song. What? I thought you said these were easy. Yeah, this is not easy. Oh, is that the whole thing, right?

Yeah, that's way harder than I thought it was going to be. Okay, we'll just play a seven then. Okay, fair. Thank you. That one's almost impossible. Especially because there's no more. Do we guess anyway? Yeah. You can still probably get it.

I got something. Amy? 10,000 pyramids. 10,000 pyramids is not right. Lunchbox. You're a $20,000 pyramid? At least that's a game. Eddie?

The shopping spree? No. It's will of fortune. Really? What? I know. All right, next up. Amy?

Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? Who wants to be a millionaire? That's a strong game. That's still on its indication? Oh, I don't know. I think so. We can do Who Wants to be a hundred-eer on this show

with one of you guys. I am down. But can we phone a friend and do all that? Can we ask, I'll phone you. You can, no, I'm hosting it. You can street shout out. Oh, I have a phone friend. You can phone a friend from in studio. Okay. Okay. Yeah, let's fall out to a friend. This is fun. We can do that next week, later this week or something. Today's Thursday. So either tomorrow, next week we'll play who wants to be a hundred air, but we'll have to figure out who gets to play. You don't want to do a thousand air? No, because I got to pay for this step. You guys act like the company's paying for these bills. I was thinking 10,000 air. No, I gotta pay for this up with my own money.

All right, next up. This one's pretty easy. On the count of three, everybody say it. One, two, three. Survivor. Good. We have three more. Old school.

It would be my dream to host a game show. I've tried. I've gotten very close to some of the big ones, but they've never hired me before. They've always, like, taking real celebrities. Because I'm a fake celebrity. Based on your track record, I think you have a good chance. I don't know.

Dude, I'm telling you, We've gotten so close and they're like, now we have to go with someone who's actually famous. Oh. But have any of those game shows worked out? Yeah. Are you glad you didn't get it? No, I'm not glad I didn't get it.

Oh, no. They were going to bring me in for the new version of the weakest link. Didn't get that. Had meetings about that. Then the one, no whammy. Oh, press your luck. And they have a really famous actress that does that. Didn't get that.

So, yeah, they're always like, you know, we're just going to actually go with someone who actually is famous. They tell you that? Yeah. They're like, they test well because people know who they are. Okay, can you name that one? Go, Amy. Love Connection? No, lunchbox. Newly wed game.

Eddie? Love connection. No. It's the match game. Oh, it's so close. You were so close. Right, we have two left. Name this game show theme or this show theme.

Amy? Dancing with the Stars. Lunchbox? Temptation Island. Eddie? Yeah, Bachelor in Paradise. Well, one of you is right. Dancing with the Stars.

Yeah. What's up, guys? You all didn't watch Bobby. Welcome to Dancing with the Star. Wow. Here he is to tango. Now tangoing. Badly.

Bobby and his partner, Shana. Bobby. Bobby. All right. Amy takes the lead. Last one. Here we go. You know this, Amy?

I mean. She put her pen away very confidently. Wow. No, but. Lunchbox. Newlywed game. Newlywed game. Incorrect.

I'm sure. Yeah. Eddie. It sounds so old school. I'm going love connection. No, that's not it. Amy? $20,000.

$20,000. pyramid. I'll give it to you. It's the $100,000 pyramid? Oh, yay. That game grew in numbers as it got older. I had the $10,000. There's your winner, Amy, who has donated it. Amy, could you have named this one right here? Yeah, Amazing Race.

Correct. Wow. Could you have named this one? That's old. You probably wouldn't get that one. Anybody else can hop in? How old? It's not on anymore. Fear factor? Yeah. Wow. I was just a deathmatch.

Oh, this one? Oh my gosh. What is that? That's like Hawaii. Oh. The voice. Oh, really? Two more.

Name this one. I got it. Big Brother. You watch that? This is my second season. I watched last season this season this season. You like it? This season so much better.

Last season was God awful. I thought I was like, why is Ray. What made you go back? What made you go back? Everybody kept telling me, all these Big Brother fans kept saying, just give it one more shot. Give it one more shot. So I did.

Would you be jealous if Ray went on? No, after watching two seasons A Big Brother, it seems like the most miserable show to be on because they are literally in a house for 100 days, it feels, and they have nothing to do. But they're getting famous. You can't name one famous Big Brother person. Johnny Bananas.

Nope, that's Real World. That's Real World Key West, then the challenge. Final one. Gotta be 80s. Supermarket Sweet! That's it. Okay. Lunchbox spent the day out at the Diamond Mine a couple days ago.

And if he would have found a big million dollar diamond, and he was quitting the show. But you found no diamonds. Found no diamonds. Hard work, though, too, huh? Oh, hard work, sweat, backbreaking stuff. I mean, you're just bent over in the dirt for eight hours. I'm like, not for me.

So what did you find that you come in so excited about today? So I was sitting at home and I was just looking at my, what were not, you know, diamonds were rocks. And I was looking. I was like, oh my gosh, guys. I have two rocks that we need to put up for sale because I have one that is shaped. like Abraham Lincoln's face on Mount Rushmore.

Oh. I need to see this. Yeah, yeah. That's Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore. You know, I mean, you can't look at that and say that's not Abraham Lincoln on Mount Rushmore. That's tiny. I can't see. It's like the size of my pinky mail.

It's size of a pea. It's gravel in the driveway. It's not life size, guys. It's not like Mount Rushmore. That's what makes it. Yeah, okay. And then when I hold up this one, the first thing you see, it's Woody the Woodpecker. You mean Woody Woodpecker?

Let me see. Where? Woody the Woodpecker. What did I say? I don't see him. You don't see it. Oh my gosh. Guys,

nose, his hair goes back like that. Yeah. Well, I do see it that way. Exactly. I don't know what you're looking at. I look like Woody the Woodpecker. Amy, Google Woody the Woodpecker. No, it's Woody Woodpecker.

It's not the, there's no duh. There's no duh. It's not Woody the Woodpecker. That's like saying Mickey the Mouse. No, it's Woody the Woodpecker. It's like Spider the Man. There's no Woody the Woodpecker. It's Woody Woodpecker.

I don't know where you were raised, but where I was raised, but where I was raised. is Woody the Woodpecker. Lunchbox and I must have... It's Woody Woodpecker, isn't it? Yes, Woody Woodpecker. Woody the... No, no, no, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Whatever you guys are saying, when you look at him,

you cannot help but see him right here, Amy Lutz. Bones, do you really see it? Yes, I do looking that way a little bit. So the profile. Okay, I see it. Yeah, it's the profile of Woody the Woodpecker. Okay, stop calling him Woody the Woodpecker. It's not Woody the Woodpecker.

So I don't know which... Lunch of the box. It is Woody Woodpecker. I don't know which one's more valuable. Abraham Lincoln from Mount Rushmore or Woody Pecker. Woody Pecker. Woody Woodpecker. Yes.

Woody Woodpecker. I mean, guys, I'm telling you. Woody Woodpecker rock, by the way. Whoa, I can't throw him, Amy. Do you have a list of other things that have sold? Yes, because I looked it up last night. I was like, how much money can I make? You know, low end, there was a jelly bean that had Kate Middleton's face on it.

$815. What? Her face, but it looked like her face. Yeah, it looked like her face. Okay. Kate Middleton. Yeah, that's low end. That's chump change, right? Got it.

A chicken nugget that looked like George Washington sold for $8,100. I've heard about that one. I'm looking at this chicken nugget now. It looks no more like George Washington than his dang rock does. Woody Woodpecker. Really? Okay. Cheetos.

You know, like the Cheetos. I haven't thought about Woody Woodpecker in guys 10 years. This is to me, this is the greatest segment ever. Go ahead. It resembling the gorilla herambi or whatever, you know, the Rambi. Harambe. Sorry, guys. don't know hair. That looks like the gorilla. That Cheeto does. Wow. It's so for $99,000.

No way. Okay. No way. I need to start looking for good things. Then the crowd jewel of them all. A McDonald's nugget, again, shaped like one of the Among Us crewmates at some video game, $99,99,97 sold. That was recent. That was just brand new. So you have, again, the- I have, I have, I have, I have, Abraham Lincoln, like, it looks like he's on Mount Rushmore, or I have Woody the Woodpecker. Woody Woodpecker. Let me see Abraham Lincoln. Pass it around here.

Be careful. But it's a rock. Be careful. Okay. Well, you don't want to chip it and then maybe his nose falls off. Yeah, exactly. His nose comes off and now it doesn't look like. You see it, Amy?

It does look like Abraham Lincoln, guys. Yeah. Let me see. But, but. But, but. But bones, it is the Mount Rushmore version. Yes. Not top hat.

Yeah, there's no top hat. It's just... It looks like Ricky Jervais. No. Maybe that could go for more. It looks like Ricky Jervais. Okay, and then this is... Let me see.

Which way do I turn it to get... Well, hold on. You got to... That way. Yes. There you go. To me, it looks more like... Wait, I don't know which way to turn it.

Well, now I'm struggling to know which way it is, Amy. That's it. That's it. Oh, stop. You don't see it, Buzz? Stop. It looks more like a llama. No.

Oh, a llama. Is there a famous llama? Lama Lama Red Pajama. What's that? It's a kid's book. Dude, put it up as both and see it. See if it gets twice. So what are you going to do? Put him up on eBay or like?

I'm putting him up on eBay. I mean, I see Abe. I saw the Abe too. Exactly. I'm telling you guys. And you see Woody the Woodpecker. Dude, I would chase Lama Lama Red Pajama. Amy, you need a microphone.

Amy's just walking around the studio. He's just talking to nobody. You know we're on the air, right? Everything's just hanging out right now. would make so much money if he got all four people from Mount Rushmore and lined them up. Oh, back to the diamond mind he goes. Oh, man. So I'm thinking, what do you guys think?

How much you think I should list Abraham? That's the big, big price. I think it's quite. That's way more. I'm telling you, there's something. I'm looking at Lama Lama Red Pajama, quite popular. Very popular. I even had spin-off books.

Lama Lama at home with his mama. Whoa, that's cool. Yeah, and there's another one. We read another one. Lama, something, I don't know what it's called. but yeah, mama, he gets sick because he has to stay home from school and then he gives his cold to mama

and he knows what mama needs. Rest is best. Lama, llama home with mama. Yeah. That's what is called? Yeah. Let's call, man. We got it. So what do you think, though?

I think you're going to get more for Woody Woodpecker, although it's going to be hard. You can have to have a drawing beside it. Oh, I mean, it's not that hard. It's not that hard. You put the photo next to it side by side and they're going to be like identical? What do you think, Woody?

You think it's the pecker or the llama? Eddie, is it the pecker or the llama? look at it. Honestly, guys, I don't see either. I don't see either on that one. What are you talking about? We'll post them. We'll post them. But I think you should list them.

Hey, what are the starting prices? Oh, I think, I mean, Abraham has to be at least a thousand, right? No, you want to start low to create a bidding frenzy. Well, but if you say 10 bucks, then you're going to get 23 out of it. Okay. Okay, so we'll do at least. 500. 500.

And I don't know what, I mean, I got to decide. Is this Woody the Woodpecker or is he Lama Lama Red Pajama. I think Woody would probably be worth more. It's a little more struggle for me to see Woody. Because I can see the llama. But I think maybe some old school cartoon people would want to get Woody Woodpecker. Okay. We're going Woody Woodpecker.

And we'll start that off at 100. And I mean, Woody Woodpecker was created, I think, in 1940. So someone that would be really into him might visually not see as well now. Oh, visually impaired. We're going for the visually impaired market. I mean, I'm saying like, blind folks. We got something for you. That's how it.

But elderly, like, I'm at 40, my vision is going. So if you're like 80, 90 years old, they might buy that from you. Do we even have an eBay account? Do you have one? I don't have one. I don't have one. Hey, Scoba, Steve, raised his hand. What do you think, Scuba?

I've got an eBay account. I've had one since the 90s. So I can put it on my account, if you like. I'll take a finder's fee or a cut. No, no. Just 5%. How about your finder's fee as an apology for putting me in that hotel? I'm not apologizing for that.

Okay. And you get no fee. I will take 5%. 5% is fair. It's fair. No, 5%. I did all the... A manager takes 5% too.

A manager takes 15%. An agent takes 10%. His 5% is putting me in the Roach-infested motel. Okay. With the water park with green water. We're past that. We're not past it. You ain't been there.

It'll be with me for the rest of my life. Okay, hold on line. He's scarred for life. If he puts it up and doesn't charge a finder's fee, will you never bring that up again? No. Okay, then you can't. Five percent of this.

Scoob, if you load it, it sells, you get 5%. Thank you. I appreciate it. That's his job. It was your job. Not to put it on eBay. It's his own account. Oh my gosh. Then create a show account. That's your new job. No, don't create a show account. I want anything to do with this.

I don't anything to do with money coming in. Okay. Here we want to bid? Anybody want to bid? No. No, Amy? No. Your kids will love it. Which one? I mean, you can teach him history by holding up Abraham Lincoln in your house. Hello, kids. Kids, you know, this is Abraham Lincoln.

More, ladies and kids. He goes by the name Honest Abe. He was born in a log cabin in Illinois. That's good. I'm surprised that you know that. He was our 16th president? I don't know that. Was he born in Illinois though?

Yeah, he was born in Illinois. No, he was born in the log cabin in Illinois. I'm telling you, I did a... Did you do a report on that? I did a report in middle school on it, and then I had to do a report in high school. Or was he born in Iowa? No, he was born in Illinois in a log camp. Abraham Lincoln was born in La Roo County, Kentucky.

I knew it. Oh my gosh. In a log cabin. No, you can I said Kentucky. Well, Lexfucks. Why is he confused? used. Did he just...

I'm going to him Lincoln was born February 12th, 1809 in Hogdenville, Kentucky. His mother was illiterate and his father was an uneducated carpenter and farmer. But then when did he move to Illinois? I don't know.

That's not the point of this. Okay. Thank you all. I guess my report in eighth grade and in junior year of high school was wrong because I just copied the same report from one page to the next. It was a lot of cabin.

See, told you. Who's right? I said Kentucky and you stopped me. Mike Dek, give me credit. Partial credit.

So cool. Well, that was a few months ago. Let's go to last week. His wife sends him to the store again. Will you go get me some milk? Sure, I'll go. He's in there. I mean, I do have some extra money.

Let me buy another scratch-off. It's a scratch-off ticket. He sits in the car, scratches it. He wins one million. million dollars. Partially, did you tell that story to irritate lunchbox? Of course. I kept looking over my shoulder to see what do you think. How is that to tell me something good?

That's like a, here, rub it in lunchboxes' face. That's good. You won a lottery twice? That's inspiration. Like, yeah, you should hear that and be like, oh, there's hope. I could win. Eddie's doing that to make me feel bad. So it's really, hey, let me make you feel bad about your life. Then I started thinking, what would we do with that money?

And what Ray did, the guy's name is Ray Boost Jr. What he did was he bought a house. It's already under contract. He went that week, looked at a house, and put a contract on it. I know that. I'll be buying an island. Okay.

With what? One million and then the $100,000. Yeah, so 1.1 mil. You're not buying, first of all, you're going to tax, so in the end you're going to have about $600,000 out of that. You're not buying an island with that. We'll see. Give me that money and we'll find out.

This is not an argument I want to get into every week. I don't even know where to go for me. I don't either. Eddie, great story. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good What's happening, friends? Let's do it.

Let's do the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. The search efforts for missing people can be very intense. So you love it when anyone will come out and volunteer their time. I mean, this is obviously a story with the Gavin Petto for a while. They were searching for her. But a guy was reported missing on Tuesday.

His family and friends couldn't find him. lost complete contact with them so they started searching for him well he had gone out drinking with some friends he had wandered into the woods got a little lost himself which was why it took him so long to reunite with them but what happened there were a bunch of people in the woods looking for him

and he didn't know what was going on so he joined them oh he helped for hours look for he was like well I'm here let me just help look for whoever you guys are looking for and so he looked eventually he noticed that one of them was yelling his name oh and he's like I'm right here and then authorities are like yeah that's you

they called off the search he went home well this is interesting and weird like they weren't yelling his name from the beginning there's a watch crew call him my name

that is so bizarre how bizarre how bizarre the whole thing speaking of the Brian Laundry search Gabby Petito which by the way

I'll say this dog to bounty hunter listen if he goes out and he finds Brian Laundry Like, thumbs up, national hero. Because he keeps it. Yesterday on TMZ, they were like, Dog the bounty hunter said he's going to pull up to a spot in an hour. And I'm like, why would he reveal that?

And I don't think he did. But it's like, dog the bounty hunter knows exactly where he is and he's going to get him. And he'll be there. According to the dog's GPS, he's there in 54 minutes. Heads up. Yeah. And I'm sure Brian Laundry's not sitting there on some Wi-Fi, you know, watching it.

Like on Twitter, that sounds? Oh, yeah. You refresh? So I keep reading the dog to bounty hunter stuff Which I don't think there's anything new on dog to bounty hunter Except yesterday he said he's going to find him in an hour Anybody find a new dog stuff? No.

But if he finds him like let's go More people the better they're trying to find this guy But investigators aren't ruling out that Brian Laundrie Could be somewhere along the Appalachian Trail in North Carolina The Florida man walked away from his home in mid-September After returning from a trip Without his fiancee Gabby Petito She disappeared

Her body was found in Wyoming Homicide listed as the cause of the death But again, they're not accusing him of anything yet. They want him. They want to talk to him. It's strange that he's gone. Do I think he's gone for a reason? Yeah, probably.

You don't run away like this unless something's up. But Dog the Bounty Hunter is rounding of hikers, survivalists, and others as he heads to North Carolina himself to track down laundry. So, yeah, but he's a suspect, right? I'm assuming everybody's a suspect. Yeah, for sure. But the point they keep saying is, we're not searching for him. because we have a warrant out for his arrest. We want to talk to him.

Oh, I'm sure they know something up. Okay, so that's just so maybe he hears that. And he's like, oh, they just want to talk to me. Maybe I'll go in. Maybe. Because I'm like, you are wanted. Yeah. Like, in my mind, he is a very wanted.

How does this guy stay hidden? I don't know. And do you take a bunch of cash with them? Did he put in a wig? Off the grid. Is he eating off the land? Like, is he eating berries and wild things and mushrooms? Even if you go to the middle of nowhere, there's someone.

there's a drone somewhere there's someone always there like you can't go anywhere in this country where no one's just not hanging out and they see him in Canada the Canada thing I knew was kind of a farce from the beginning it's a blurry TikTok video and it's a bald dude

with a beard that's every bald dude maybe he's wearing a wig or he shaved if I were him I would shave I'd wear a wig I'd go to Spencer's by a fat suit I mean I'd do all that yeah like I if I walked by someone that was had hair and no beard, I wouldn't think it was him. Like, every morning I walk in

and see scuba Steve, one eye, it goes, okay. Just to make sure but they can't, they can't find the guy. Wild. He might be dead. I mean, that's maybe why they can't find him because he went out and killed himself somewhere. And they don't get, but I was listening to a guy who lives near the Florida area where they think he is. Because there's like six places they think this guy could be. And he goes,

I don't think he's here, one, because he wouldn't make it. He goes, I've lived in this land for 30 years. years, like on the edge of it. And you don't go in here. The mosquitoes will kill you. If they don't, it's the snakes. And he starts listing all the animals. He says, secondly, if there's a dead anything, especially a body, there are buzzards. And he says, I haven't seen any buzzards. He says, so I don't think he's here. And if he is here, I don't know how he's surviving. And if he is surviving, well, never seen it before. But they cannot find them. Your theory, lunchbox? Well, I like John Walsh's theory about how

He planted his car there and everything to make it seem like he's there and he's somewhere totally different. So everybody is searching in that area when really he had a weak's head start and he is somewhere else maybe out of the country or across the country. But I think that makes more sense. And they did confirm that he went to the phone store and bought a burner phone. But his lawyer said, I believe that the FBI has that phone that he doesn't have it with him. And he has a worn out for his arrest for using Gabby Barry. it's credit card or debit card, and you spending $1,000 after she was dead.

He's a person of interest in her... Gabby Petito. What do you say? Gabby Barrett. The country music world's like, what? I was like waiting to correct. I was like, anybody going to correct this? There's too many Gabby's in my life.

Those are two Gabby's I know. The phone thing's interesting because he started, he opened an AT&T account. And then left that new real-life phone at his house. Like one day later. It's like open an account. left it there. In the burner account, I think, could have been his mom who had it and gave it to him. So I don't know. How they can't find him. I don't know. I feel like the government can

find everybody. And I can't believe you can't trace burner phones. Like, with all the technology, you would think you would be able to trace every single phone that is sold. I understand they, that's where they're buying burner phones today. That's why everybody buys a burner phone when you're doing illegal stuff, but it's just crazy. An Illinois man who woke up with a bat on his neck. Like, he woke up and was like, oh my goodness, there's a bat. Like, and bat They're small sometimes. Yeah, sucking his blood? Well, he died.

Basically. Because, yeah, I bit him. Raebies. Whoa. Right? Yeah, it was attached to his neck. An Illinois man who awoke to find a bat on his neck weeks ago died this month in the state's first human case of rabies since 1954.

Dang. And not every bat has rabies, right? I don't know. Like, I would think some do, but not all of them. I would think a lot of them do because even if you touch one, you have to get a rabies shot. Just to be preventative, yeah. They found the animal on his neck in mid-August. He declined treatment.

Oh, my. And a month later, he got symptoms of rabies and died. Man. The CDC and prevention confirmed the diagnosis Tuesday. That's a bummer. That is crazy. I didn't know he declined treatment. Treatment when I read this story the first time.

But that, yeah, that stinks. I had a friend. And it's not the same anymore. Listeners have told me, but who had touched a bat. Because bats look like almost big bugs sometimes. They're really cute, too. No, no, they are. From afar.

Oh, no. Close up, they're so cute. B.S. Have you looked at their little faces? They're very cute. They're very cute. Okay. Anyway, they had to, like, shoot them with shots all in the stomach for a long time. It's since then gotten better, but in the last 10 years, it was like multiple shots in the stomach.

Because of rabies? Yeah, and didn't we have a listener calling to talk about it? It's, like, super expensive to get all that done. Like, if you, and so that could be a reason if you decline it, too, if you don't think you need it. And then, because I remember we were challenged. I was like, what? There's no way it's like, did the callers leave was like $10,000 or something? Yeah, I don't remember, but I think we could have got to go fund me up for that dude.

Yeah. If it's like I might die of rabies, can somebody please help me? All right, that's the news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. On the phone, we have Lauren in Florida. Lauren, what's going on?

Hello, good morning, studio. Morning. Okay, so living in Florida, we got the whole scoop on the brand laundry thing, whatever his name is. First of all, did you see on the news dog going and banging on his parents? door. We did. Dog walk right up and was like, boom, boom, boom, yeah. And he kept going back. Last night I saw in the news. He kept going back and back. They don't show you that in news, but does he think they're just going to open the door and like welcome him in? I think he just wants the publicity. He just wants the publicity. But if he finds him, he deserves

publicity, you know? But yes, I think right now it's just him wanting to be in the headline as well. Yeah, he's gross. Sorry, but he's gross. No, so what they're saying on the news here, is the FBI does not want him helping because he can kind of, I don't know what the word is, hinder their, they're saying if he finds evidence and stuff, it could maybe not be used in court. So they don't want his help. It's like interference. I don't think he cares, does he? No, it's talking about any hundred.

He lives by his own rules. It's crazy to me sometimes. There can be something so solid. And if there's like one mistake, but it's like legit something that could convict somebody. but someone did something wrong, like, mishandled the evidence or whatever, and it gets thrown out. I mean, Eddie almost went to prison for extortion, but... Okay.

I know. That's crazy. Oh, I did it. But they used a light detector. That's not admissible in court. Lauren, that's not true, by the way. Lauren, thank you for the call, Lauren. We appreciate that. Sarah, have a great day, y'all.

Yeah, you have a good day, too. Let's go to Audrey, also calling us from Florida. Audrey, what's happening? Good morning, studio. Morning. So, in talking about Woody the woodpecker or Woody Woodpecker, I'm still not sure who's right about that. But do you know what kind of woodpecker, Woody is? Well, let's go to Amy, our bird expert, Amy.

Is he red-bellied? Woodpecker? He's not. Oh, I don't know then. Want-won. I don't know. That's the only visitor. That's the only woodpecker that comes to my feeder.

Woody is a pilliated woodpecker. Oh, Googling now. And that funny laugh that he makes, that's the sound that a pilliated woodpecker makes. This real loud, sort of laughing kind of call. Cool. Cute. Thank you. Well, we appreciate that.

So now you know. Now we know. I know way more about Woody Woodpecker than ever thought I would. So the woodpecker goes to la-da-da-na-na-na-ha-ha-ha. And when I was walking in the woods the other day, I thought I was playing a clip in the cartoon. It was a dang woodpecker. Hey, thank you for the call. Audrey. Have a great day. All right. Have a great day.

She brings that up because Lunchbox found a rock that looks like Woody Woodpecker. He wants to sell it for. What's the opening price? $1,000. We're going to get that up and see how much it goes for. We'll see. Can we put a picture of Woody next to this rock and put it up on like our Instagram or Twitter? And don't forget about Abraham Lincoln. We can't. We won't forget about Abraham Lincoln.

He will not. All right. Let's talk about how you got famous for just a second. Michael in North Carolina is on the phone. Michael, what is your story? It's about my sister, actually. She went to McDonald's on the Monopoly game and said she won the Monopoly place and they gave her a bunch of free food

and called the news media. And when she got home, there were like 10 news crews at her house and she couldn't produce anything. She just kind of made it up. What? She didn't really win Monopoly and she said she did? That's hardcore.

Wow. Yeah, she just kind of made it all up. Did she admit to them she made it up or did she just not come out? No, she admitted she made it up. She just wanted the attention. Oh, my. Mission accomplished. Take it for her.

Mission accomplished. They don't ask you for proof? I guess not. Wow. Oh hey, thanks for that call, Michael. All right, thank you. Bye. That's a weird story. That's so weird.

Let's hear Eddie's story because Eddie did get wildly famous for a day. Yeah. What happened? I thought it was going to be longer than a day, but I was working news. I was a cameraman, and it was on a Sunday. I'll never forget it. It was a marathon. And I go out there and I'm shooting video of the marathon.

And I just put the camera on the tripod and I shot a wide shot of the actual marathon. I sat back and just kind of looked around. And then I see a me. meteor in the sky, like a fireball. And this is 9 o'clock in the morning. So it's daytime and the fireball just goes across the runners. And I look at my camera. I'm like, did I get that?

And I rewind it. And I'm like, sure enough. So I run back to the station. And I say, guys, I caught a freaking meteor on camera. And the people, I mean, there are only three people working on the weekends. They're like, cool. Thank you. Give me the tape and go back to work.

So they did nothing. Monday morning, the news director is like, let me see that tape. And he says, oh my gosh. This is amazing, Eddie. So he starts sending out to all the media outlets. Everyone picks it up. I get calls from CNN, ABC, NBC, NBC, CBS, BBC, Al Jazeera, all of them. They call me at home and say, Eddie, come back.

Everybody wants to interview you. And you did all those interviews? Yeah. Here's the clip of Eddie on, which one? CNN. Okay, here you go. Take a look at this. It is a fireball today over Austin, Texas.

A cameraman, his name is Eddie Garcia, of our local affiliate, News 8, Austin, was filming a marathon. when the mysterious object streaked out of the sky. CNN spoke with him about his amazing video. When you see something like that, you don't really know what it is. And you just kind of, you stare at it for a little bit, and then you just wonder for the next five minutes, what was that? And for me, I wanted to make sure that I got that on tape, and I sure did. He certainly did, and everyone is playing hard.

You sure did. You did. The funny thing is you did nothing. And good for you. I'm into it. You know what? It comes out year after year, like, oh, me. meteor caught on camera. They're all doorbell cams. Not a cameraman like me. It was so cool that the

Astronomical Society gave, they found the meteor like, I don't know, 300 miles away, and they gave me a little piece of the meteor. Yeah, and then you asked that guy and he said it was fake. No. The weird part about it is you did nothing. No, I shot, I shot video. I think it's great luck. You didn't know it was coming, but you did nothing. Like that could have, had you stayed in that field, that could have propelled you to other like camera jobs. Yeah. That would have been the start of my resume tape for sure. Yes. Up on level one.

Do you remember me running your house? They turn the TV on? I'm tired talking about it. I mean, it's fine, but I'm also bored talking about it now. Okay. All right. I guess my 15 seconds are over. Yeah, again. Let's, I have some more calls, though. Let's see. Carl and Georgia up on line one. Carl, what's going on, buddy?

How's it going, sir? Good. What would you like to say? Well, I was famous for a day because we had a robber break into our shore. And instead of taking a normal response, we decided to offer the guy a job and had no idea that the story was going to go absolutely viral and end up on CNN and today's show. Wow. Pretty much everywhere across the world. The guy robbed you and you offered him a job because you're like, hey, you must be going through hard times?

Yeah, exactly. It was on Easter Sunday. And I don't know, it just felt like the godly approach. the situation and he broke in, I think it was like, it was a Saturday night or Friday night, threw it rot through our door and stole the cash register and ran right back out, didn't harm anybody. No, I know. He's talking about this. I remember this story.

Hey, wait, so whatever happened to him? So we had anonymous tip. We did find out pretty much who the guy was. And he has a pattern of doing this. One of his friends reached out to me and was like, look, You can't save this guy, unfortunately. And believe it or not, he ended up getting picked up in Thomasville, Georgia, for the same crimes. Unfortunately, the guy just doesn't want to do right, it sounds like.

Well, man, good for you. For reaching out and trying to make a difference in that guy's life. Like, you did more than, I think, 99.9% of other people would have done. So, yeah, nice. And then him being on CNN and the Today Show and other people hearing that inspires other people to look at things differently if something bad happens to them. How do you think Ray got a job? You got squatted, living here at the radio. radio station. I was like, hey, come and produce the show.

Yeah. Hey, thank you, Carl. Appreciate that call, man. He's not a good guy. We love the show. Take care. See you, buddy. Let's go. Randy in Texas is on the phone right now. Randy, how were you famous for just a minute? I ended up getting caught up in some crimes. I was real bad in my younger days about five and a half years ago, and I was with an older woman who decided she wanted to hire somebody to kill her husband.

What do you mean you were with an older woman? Like dating? He was seeing her. Yeah, we were dating. She had a husband. They'd been split up for years or whatever. And I don't know, we were on drugs and everything. And she just had this wild idea that she was going to call somebody and try to hire him to kill her husband.

What happened? How were you famous? Well. Well, the FBI and the Texas Rangers, they ended up catching the case. And we were on the run in Florida for some other charges. And I went to Dale on some local charges. and next thing I know I got the FBI and the Texas Rangers pulling me out of the county jail to talk to me about this. And I guess she had called somebody to try to hire them to kill her husband and was going to offer them like $100,000 from some kind of life insurance policy or something.

I don't know. So whatever happened with you, are you calling us from the pen right now or are you good? You straight. No, no, man. I got out about a year and some change ago and I'm actually doing super great, man. I got a great career. I just had a baby about a month ago. I got married in June in Vegas.

I'm doing super good now. That's good to hear it. You keep up with the old lady? No. Oh, my ex. No, man. What's she up to now? She married some lesbian and lives in South Texas somewhere.

But so, y'all, this story got picked up on the news. What a wacky story. Hold on. That's how you had some fame is because, this was like a nationwide story? I don't know what's happening. Yeah, it was our nationwide news. It was crazy.

It was on ABC and all kinds of stuff. Well, we've always wanted to know. Sometimes we have stories where people hire hitmen or they seek them out. So I guess now it's interesting to hear that y'all were on drugs and you thought it was maybe okay idea. How is she not in jail? What do you mean? If she tried to hire a hitman, how is she not in jail right now? Well, she went to jail and they only gave her five years because.

because she told the feds that I was part of it, and so they gave her a lower sentence. She actually got out before I did, and I really didn't even have nothing to do with it. Oh, you didn't really have anything to do with it? No, I didn't have anything to do with it. But, like, do you Google someone to a hitman, or how does she find the person she's going to reach out to you?

Well, she reached out to one of her friends in North Texas, and he ended up having some charges he wanted to get off, so he just went straight to the cops and was like, hey, this is trying to hire me to kill her husband with us. Shame it to the wrong person. He said, what's up? He went to the cops and I was like, what's up? I'm trying to get out of these charges.

Did they let him, did that help him at all? Did some of his charges get? Oh, yeah, he got, he got off all of his charges. Wow, wait. That's crazy. All you have to do is be lucky and get a phone call. It sounds like a pyramid scheme because then someone, then someone could go to that with her. She could do that with someone.

Yeah. It never ends. It's like paying Peter to pay Paul. Rob Peter, yeah. Yeah, whatever. Well, listen, let me say this about you, my friend. It sounds like, you made some bad decisions early, but it's not where you start, it's where you end.

And I'm proud that you've cleaned yourself up, that you're working, you got a baby, you sound good, and you realize now all those mistakes that you made. I think for you as a person, that's pretty freaking cool, man. Oh, yeah, it's amazing, man, and I don't regret my past. I made some bad decisions, but it made me the man I am today, and I don't regret it. I probably regret some of that. But that's just me. That's just me.

No, but he can't. It's the past. If you're dealing with that, you can't live that way. That's right. He needs to repair and move on. That's right. No, I get it. All right.

Well, is there anything else? Randy, is my favorite caller of like the month. Randy, just, yeah, keep doing what you're doing to make sure that you stay the course. It's probably not asking the questions, though, right? Probably be done with the questions with Randy. We just never know what we're going to get. Well, you can call back any time. Randy, how'd you meet your current?

How'd you meet your current girl? Wife. Well, I knew her a little bit before I went to prison, but after I got out, I was in the halfway house, and I just was on Facebook, you know, for the first time in like five and a half years. And I just started going crazy and talking to girls and everything. And I ended up talking to her, and we hit it off. And it turns out we're kind of soulmates. Nice. What's prison like?

Oh, dude, it's terrible. Really? Because sometimes people like, yeah, not that bad, but it sucks. No, I went to the feds. And I was in, like, a medium facility in Oklahoma for, like, two and a half years. But I got transferred to a maximum facility because I got in too many fights. And then as soon as I got there, it was, like, a crazy eye-opener because everybody's stabbing everybody. And it was just wild.

Everybody stabbing everybody. That song sucks. So with, like, things they brought in or they make shanks or what? No, they make them in there. They cut them out of their beds. They cut them out of their locker. It's happening. They're legit knives.

They sharpen them to where it'll cut the hair off your arm. How many did you stab? Just like one. You expect zero, right? Does that... Sorry, we're just... We're fascinated because clearly we don't have a lot of friends. Did he have a phone?

Did you have a phone? I want to know we had a phone. Do you ever have a phone? No, I didn't have a phone, but there was a lot of people that had phones, but you could get like six months extra time if you get caught with a phone. So I was a chance. Did you, is keystering real? Like people push it up in their butt and bring it to you?

It's super real. It's super real. Super real. What was the biggest thing you thought would get keistered in? I've seen somebody carry in a 10-inch knife. 10-inch? How? This is the greatest call.

Let me just pause for a second. Friends, you've been listening to this show for a long time. Some of you have since we've started this thing. We've been doing it for a long time. This might be the greatest call we've ever had. I'm sweating because I'm nervous. Me too. Me too. Okay, listen, we've got to go because Scoob and Steve says we're out of time.

But Randy, you're our guy. You are the guy. You call in any time. I almost want to give Randy my cell phone number. I'm not going to. But I almost want to give me my cell phone number because this is A plus material right here. Randy, I'm proud of you. You've shaped up. You're living your life. Sounds like you're living an honest life. Keep up the good work, my friend. Yes, sir. Y'all guys have a great day. All right, you too. Bye. I'm just going to say before because we're way over time. I'm just going to say, when I said, how many people did you stab? Really thought it'd be a zero. Yeah, you thought. I saw it in your face.

But he was trying to survive. He goes, just one. Hey, it's not that bad man. Just one. I mean, that's just, listen, that's a scared straight call because if you're a kid listening right now. I don't know. Oh, that's right. It made it sound pretty.

Stop. What? No way, man. He made it sound like, hey, stay on the straight and narrow. You don't want to go to prison because people are getting stabbed every day. Everyone has a knife. I'm exhausted. We'll take a break, come back.

Bye. If for some reason you're just now turning us on, I implore you to go and check out our podcast from today. We had possibly the greatest caller of the past, well, at least year. Today's September 30th. I would at least give them caller of the year. But top caller in the history of the show.

That's tough because I forget, I forget we've had some good callers over the years. But that's really a great one we put up in the Mount Rushmore of calls. He called because we're talking about how were you famous for a second. And he goes, well, I was dating an old lady. She tried to kill her husband. We were like, well, how about that? And then he goes, well, then I got put in prison because she kind of said I had more involvement than I did. And then we're like, well, look you there. And he's like, well, then she ran off with a woman. And then we're like, okay, I stabbed

someone in print. We're like, okay. Then we started to get nervous. Like, we were going to get put in jail for knowing this stuff. It's just search for the Bobby Buncho podcast. Listen to that. It's like, it's a call, chef's kiss. That's what you want when you do a show like this. Today, throwback Thursday. Let's go. Bobby Bones Show. Throwback Thursday.

I bring it up because today in 1991, Roping the Wind by Garth Brooks, became the first country music album to debut at number one on the pop chart. Debuted number one on the pop chart. It was also number one in the country chart. Yeah, no duh. Whereas other two previous albums, no fences in Garth Brooks also held the two in five positions at the same time on the country chart. Think about that he had one, two, and five.

The only person I've seen album-wise do something similar is Chris Stapleton. And that's not pop. He didn't do the pop thing. But to be sitting up so high on the chart like when he put out from a room and he also had traveler. Stapleton kind of had this going on. But the top five radio hits

from Rope in the Win that came out on this day at 1991 at number five rodeo. Yes. It's a roar of a Sunday crowd It's the white and the knuckles The gold in the buckle He'll win the next go round

At number four, Papa Love Mama Mama It was a looker, Lord out she shine Papa was a good and rough and yellow sky Papa loved mama Mama love meadow Mama's in the graveyard Papa's in the pin

The jam It's a jam At number three One of my Mount Rushmore Of Garth songs, The River Yes, I will sell my best It doesn't matter what's happening in your life This relates in some way

This is the always relatable song There's always crap happening These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destiny And number two, shameless And spending four weeks at number one The biggest radio hit from that record Is what she's doing now

Really? Yeah It's what she's doing now They stare me apart On this day in 1991 That's the deal That record came out Number one on the pop chart Which is crazy

We're wearing that blue and black striped shirt Black jeans Cowboy hat Did you have to Google that? I would recreate it in my bathroom mirror And stare at myself Back in the day Hey?

True story Oh Eddie was Eddie knows that Garth record cover The back of it What song goes on what record? I was in the fan club My parents even spent $150 to get the tour jacket that year.

Oh. $150. My parents are like, okay, this is the only present you're getting for Christmas. That's it. And so you had the Garth Tour. Yeah, I did. I remember going to a funeral, and he was all shiny with, like, diamonds on it. You wore a Garth Tour jacket to a funeral?

Looking back now, I should have done that. But I remember my cousins being like, what are you doing? I'm like, dude, it's my new Garth shirt. Like, my jacket. We're sorry about Uncle Tony, but come on. Bobby Bone Show. Boney Up the Day. This story comes from Iowa.

A 23-year-old man was driving to the store and he was going 103 and a 65. When he gets pulled over, they're like, hey, what are you doing? He's like, it's an emergency. I am going to get sanitary products for my wife. What's the guy's name? Yeah, I can't pronounce it. Okay. Justice for that guy.

He's lying. Well, is he not telling the tree? Listen, I don't know. And it could be emergency. Okay. We'll call him Peter. Justice for Peter. Dangerous. You know what? He should get off of the morning, a stern warning.

Yeah. How fast was he going? 103 and a 65 because he had to get pads for his wife. Okay, it's not necessary. Interesting pads would be the turn. Well, sanitary pads is what they're called. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got the point the first time. Did he hit anything?

Didn't hit anything, but he put lives at risk and worse. Yeah, but you know what? Every time Amy gets on the road, lives are at risk too. Did he get in trouble? Yeah, he got his license suspended and a $400 ticket. Oh. Dang. Just as for Peters, what I say. All right, is that it?

I'm lunchbox at your bonehead story of the day. For $1,000, who would try out wearing a bulletproof vest and letting someone shoot them? No. Can't do it. Not having. $1,000. No. Nope.

Okay. $5,000. Nope. Lunchbox? $5,000 is a lot of money. Bulletproof vest and someone gets to shoot you. Man, I just worry about them missing the bulletproof vest. I thought about it, but no.

No, we can't do the five. I mean, you put 10,000, I think I could do it. 10,000 bucks you put the bulletproof vest on, let's not shoot you. Oh. Police are investigating a report of a shooting after an unidentified man received treatment. They said that he and family members

were trying on bulletproof vests when he allowed another person to shoot a minute when he tried it on. Quote, something like this is definitely not a good idea. We don't know much about what happened because he wasn't saying. But a bulletproof vest is not a careful. Catch-all.

While bulletproof vests are a good safety tool, they are not 100% effective and will not stop a bullet all the way every time. Oh. Factors such as distance, the bullet's caliber, and other things will affect the bullet's impact on the vest. He's in the hospital. Yeah. Not happening. They should probably change the name of that. Maybe.

Proof. Reproot. What do you call? Repellent. Bullet may be going to go through. Maybe not. Yeah. Vest.

Or like cops only, and this is not for sure. Yeah. Yeah, bulletproof is really bulletproof? What about you? How much? Zero. Never? A million.

Oh, my gosh. Sign me up. You can all take a shot. An island. All of us. Then what if you die, lunchbox? Was that worth it? My family's a millionaire.

Okay. Sometimes when you get shot with a bulletproof vest, just the impact of it hurts you pretty bad. So. So I hear. A TV shows me, then. I believe everything I see on TV. Yeah, that's crazy. that bulletproof vests aren't really bulletproof all the time.

I just thought they were. Okay, you guys have a good day. We'll see you tomorrow. Elvie Shane is in. He sings that song, That ain't my boy. That's it like that. We'll see you tomorrow.
