Morning Studio.
Morning!
Well, well, well, we went on vacation for a week, sort of.
Like, we were gone for a week, but one of those days you guys were gone, too, is Fourth of July.
I do want to play this voicemail to start the show.
Go ahead.
Morning, studio.
Just want to say thank you for almost all week.
You guys gave us new content for Fourth of July.
Just curious, did you guys stay there?
late and do that. I wasn't all brand new, but it's mostly brand new, so I appreciate that.
Anyway, like to know.
Thank you very much. I appreciate you acknowledging that. So here's what happens. Most shows
they leave, they just go, we're going to play best of. We don't want to do that. So as much as
we don't have to, we stay late. We work extra days to make sure that even though we're gone,
you get new content. So Fourth of July, that was Monday. Everybody was gone off that day.
We had full new shows with full new interviews on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The only days you heard anything that wasn't totally new was Thursday and Friday.
Still, people were complaining online about it.
How?
I'm treating them too good.
I'm telling you.
I'm treating people too good where they're getting all spoiled.
And when there are two days of reruns, because that's our first week of vacation of the year in July.
And because there are two days of reruns, they're like, you go on vacation all the time.
This sucks.
I'm treating them too good.
So I appreciate that because, yes, we stayed and worked really late before we left to make sure that if you listen to the show,
we didn't treat you like other shows would treat you.
Yeah, that's right.
All the other shows, they treat you like crap.
They kick you on their way up the door.
They'd spit in your face and go on vacation.
Not us.
We hug you.
And you know what?
We hug you and you complain about us.
I was pretty fired up over that.
I was looking at the comments.
Oh, my goodness.
But yes, we are back.
And I'm happy to be back.
But I had a really good vacation,
which is something that I would usually not say
because I would usually not mean it.
But we had a really great trip.
And it's just fun going on vacation with my wife,
which I never got to do in my whole life
until I met her I married her.
So we went to Utah and Arizona
right there on the border
and I was talking to Mike D about it
and we were catching up on each other's vacation trips
and I was like Mike, Mike went to the beach
and Mike like me hates the beach.
And you didn't hate the beach, did you?
I did not.
It's because you have a wife that's awesome.
That's why.
And so he's like, how did you go?
I was like, it was good.
I said, we're pretty active.
And he goes, active.
Look like you're shooting a TV show.
I said, well, you know,
Early in the day, in the morning in the desert, we did very active stuff,
like riding bikes through the mountains or climbing stuff or what else do we kickboxed.
It's awesome.
I could tell you more about it later, but it was a really good trip,
and I think she had a great time.
And I come back, I don't know about refreshed and rejuvenated,
because I always am both tired and rejuvenated at the same time.
Yeah, physically I'm always tired, but I'm always ready to go.
So we're all here.
I'm here, Eddie's here, Amy's here at lunchbox.
is here. The whole crew is here. So we're here to give you
some more great shows today, hopefully, but
I don't have any new injuries. That was the first question.
Oh, that's good. You know, you're in the woods all day.
We used to hunt all day and we'd come back and we'd have to check ourselves for ticks
at the end of the day. With your socks or your legs that's been covered,
take a minute, check yourself for ticks.
I had to check myself for injuries once I got back, because I'm getting older.
Make sure everything was working. Yeah, so it's like, let me check my calf.
All right, that one's good. I'm going to check my elbow.
All right, that one's good. And so I did that. But all my
pictures are up. If you want to see,
we post, it's just amazing.
Like, I think even visually my best
vacation. Oh yeah, dude, it looked beautiful.
And people would hit me up, and they would be mean,
people aren't mean sometimes, after
they would go, why did you do reruns?
They would go,
you guys took a photographer with you?
How lame? No, we don't.
Either I take it to Caitlin, she
takes it to me, we prop it
up somewhere, or
we get someone to take it for us.
Not a photographer that you hired. Those are the only four options.
If you think we're flying with a photographer?
Crazy.
He's on the floor beside the bed with us.
Always.
I'm like, hey, Caleb.
Wake up to me.
He's got to get a picture of this.
Oh, I'm here, guys.
There's no, I don't know if you,
I don't know what kind of life you guys think I live.
But no, we don't take a photographer with us.
It would be awesome.
That would be so cool.
And like the climbing ones on my Instagram,
again, go to Mr. Bobby Bones.
The climbing ones, we had our guide take them.
He was like, I take them all the time.
He had a wrist strap on, so it wouldn't lose his phone.
climbing the mountains. So that's the
other one. The other one is people
were really nasty to Caitlin the whole time anyway.
But
people sent Caitlin ones like, can't believe you took a full time here and makeup person on the road
with you. Is that same person taking our pictures? Because I got news
for you. Ain't nobody there.
And she was like, why are people so mean
about this? Because she's asking me. And I'm like, you know, that sucks.
But in this way that it sucks, it's kind of a compliment.
Like they're like going... You take the best pictures.
Great makeup. Great hair and makeup.
She does it herself, every bit of it.
So that's what's up.
That's what's up.
But we're all here.
We're glad that you're here.
Amy returned with a cough, a big cough.
So I'm not going to really put a lot of pressure on her today because when she talks, she's like, yeah, I'm feeling.
Right, Amy?
Yes, I've been sitting here listening and I'm scared to actually talk because when I do talk, a cough does come out.
But I'm trying.
Like I came back with a hat from where we stayed.
Yeah.
Amy came back with the croup.
The cough.
Yeah.
The Middle Eastern
Kroop
All right, we're back
Had a little vacation
We're so pumped to be back
With you guys on the radio
Let's go now and 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
Bobby Bones
I'll keep it short and sweet
I just got a brand new phone
My friend was borrowing it
To look something up
Or walking down the street
She tripped
Fell
Drop the phone
The screen is shattered.
While I feel horrible that she fell down,
am I responsible for paying for my new phone screen?
Or is she?
Thank you.
By the way, did I mention, I'm 19 and broke.
Signed, 19 and broke.
Okay, very common thing here.
Somebody breaks up on yours.
Who pays?
I think it would be nice if your friend said,
oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, I will pay for that.
That would be awesome if she just did that
because I think that's what most people would do,
but she also might be broke as well.
Yeah.
And she can't pay for it.
You let her have the screen.
Yeah.
So you have to circle it back to the origin of responsibility.
And is an accident by her, by the way, is an accident.
You're responsible for paying for it, but it'd be awesome if she helped or did.
Yes.
But you are responsible.
Should she act?
But even though she's responsible, but can she ask for half?
Yes.
No, she can ask for help.
Okay.
I don't think I'd put a percentage on it because she may do 75, may do 100.
Who knows?
Okay.
But I would say, hey, I got to get a new phone screen.
Can you help me pay for this?
Don't do half.
Don't do it.
And she will say, yes or no, you are responsible for your own phone screen because you gave it to her.
And then an accident happened.
If she just grabs it and, ah, it's mine now.
I'm the king of the world.
Bam, slams it on the ground.
Then she does.
But yes.
So I say it stinks.
It's a bad situation.
So you say.
I say it's your responsibility, but it's okay to ask.
And if she, whatever she says, you have to accept.
Lunchbox?
The friend needs to pay for your screen.
Agree needs to, but isn't responsible.
If I lend Eddie my car and he wrecks it,
Eddie is responsible to pay for it.
So I lent you my phone, you broke it, you pay for it.
Cars have insurance.
Not all phones do.
So I mean, that's going to be part of it.
So Eddie would pay the deductible of the insurance.
That's fine, yes, but that's what I'm saying.
So your screen costs $100 and you don't have insurance.
But what if he just could not pay for?
I would say if I loaned Eddie in my car and he's like somebody backed into me.
I backed into somebody.
I don't have any money.
I'd be responsible to pay for it.
And I would just hope that Eddie could because I couldn't make him pay for it.
I wouldn't go to court.
You wouldn't take Eddie to court because he...
Then we wouldn't be friends anymore.
Well, that's fine.
I understand what you're saying, but I think...
That's fine.
You just ride it off.
All right.
Well, Amy and I feel like that you're responsible, but if she's a good friend, she will help you pay for it or maybe pay for it all.
Yeah.
But you didn't loan it to her.
When you loan it to somebody, it's still yours.
You're still responsible for it.
The end, you know?
Okay.
Thank you for the email.
I think we'll close it up now.
We got your email and we read it on the air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's mail pack.
Yeah.
I told you I got a text from a friend and they were like, hey, we're having a wedding.
We're getting married.
Here's the invitation.
Click the link.
I clicked the link.
RSP through text.
Got another text back going, you are RSVP.
And I was like, that was so easy.
One, cheaper for them.
Two, I have to mail something back.
I got to check.
Let's stop with weddings having to pay all this extra money for sending out
way too expensive invitations. It's so dumb. So I really enjoyed that text message. Easier for me,
easier for them, cheaper for them. So I think that's a tradition that we should do away with,
buying these stupid expensive invitations. And you know who keeps telling us? We need to buy these
invitations. The companies that are making the invitations. They're the ones keeping this in the
culture. So I have a list here from SWNS Digital. Top traditions that are out, that you should not do
anymore. Number one, that the bride can't be seen before the wedding. Now, I did not see Caitlin
and it wasn't a luck thing. It was a, I wanted to just be surprised by her dress in the moment.
Right? But most people feel like if you see the person beforehand, that's bad luck.
And that's where the tradition comes from is you don't see them because it means bad life.
That's pretty hard core to go straight bad life if you happen to put your eyes on them.
The next one, the bride's parents paying for the wedding.
They say you should do away with that.
I don't like that.
I mean, that's circumstantial.
I agree.
Yeah, but they feel like they have to, right?
The tradition is they have to, so they do.
And I bet a lot of parents are like, man, this really hurts us financially.
So I do not think that that should be the tradition.
That was awesome, though, dude.
I love that tradition.
I mean, and I got three boys, Eddie's got four boys.
I love that tradition.
Let's keep going with that tradition.
Yep, let's keep going.
Y'all's kids get married.
I paid for my own wedding.
I was cool with it.
I didn't want to put that on them.
Yeah, but you're in a position where you could.
I was an adult.
And if I couldn't, I'd have a smaller wedding.
Yeah.
That's the position I would have been in, have a smaller wedding and pay for it.
So next up, Brian and groom's guests sit separately.
That's kind of a dumb tradition.
You put, okay, you guys on this side, you on that side.
Why can they sit together?
Who cares?
Well, it's like, tells you who's there for who.
You can just look and see.
They're 10 feet away.
Are you there for each other?
And then what if one person doesn't have as many people?
Yeah.
You're there for both.
Walking down the aisle to here comes the bride,
which I see less and less doing that.
She didn't.
Although I feel like I should have walked down the aisle.
I've said this many times.
I really got screwed out of that.
I wanted my own moment in the sun.
I was going to do a couple twirls.
She didn't come down to that song, did she?
No, she came down to Jake Owen, Made for You.
Yeah.
And I remember calling Jake and going,
Hey, man, we're going to do Made for You, your song,
but you're going to be sitting there.
I don't want you to sing it.
Is that cool?
If we play it and we don't ask you to sing it,
And he just thought it was a weird request because
And Jake's a friend
And he was like, yeah, dude
But we're like we want to make sure that you don't feel like it's awkward
When your song's playing but it's not you
And it was played on violins and stuff
And we're like we don't want you to stand up
Be like, okay, I'll do it
I was made for you
Just enjoy the wedding
I wonder if he was humming it while they were playing
And the violins like, oh
To himself
And we wanted to give him a heads up
So if people wouldn't like stare at him
And be like, oh, that's your song
Yeah
So here comes the bride
I don't know that I've seen that in a while at a wedding
Dun dun da-da-da-da-da-you know that feels like that one's kind of going away
The bride and grooms guests sit separately
Something old something new something borrowed something blue
Who cares? That's fun
That's fun
What is that?
A good luck thing
Yeah
But nobody gets hurt
No time's wasted
And then a white wedding dress
Oh if I see something coming down to red
I'm like oh boy
She's at her fun huh
That doesn't mean that
I know but it's weird to think that you
Wear white because you're a virgin
I know
You know?
That's why you wear white?
That's why you wear white?
Yeah, that's what's what I mean.
Get rid of that one.
You're like, why you didn't wear a white tucks?
Yeah, that's why I didn't wear a white tucks.
Yeah, that's why I didn't wear a white tucks.
Yours is like pitch black.
Hang.
It wrapped himself in a black tar.
Definitely not one over here.
So, there you go.
Those are the things that people think should be out.
Go ahead.
I saw something the other day about a trend that's happening right now is
daughters wearing their mother's wedding dress, but not as it was.
Like they take it and they alter it to fit their style and vibe,
but they're still using, you know, the bones and shrug of it.
And so I thought that was cool.
So as like think of it now, women that are getting married, save your dresses.
Because who knows your daughter might want to wear it one day?
Yeah, and you're going to save money.
A lot of money.
Yeah.
That's an awesome thing.
All right, there you go.
Let's not do those anymore.
Eliminate one.
And it's never done again of all those that I said are kind of traditions going
out. Which one would you eliminate? The dumbest one. I would say the dumbest one for me, well,
I'd say that making people sit separately. Yeah, that's what I was going to say to. That's pretty
dumb. Why? No reason for that. We don't need to look and judge and be like, oh, yeah,
oh, I got three more people. Sucks out. Amy? I guess the, uh, seeing the people before.
Yeah. See the bride. Yeah. Because of bad luck. If you don't want to do it because of,
Just because it's like a little fun thing for y'all.
Like you said, you wanted to see Caitlin for the first time
as she's walking down the aisle.
And I didn't want her to see the chaps that I was wearing
until she was walking down the aisle.
She wouldn't let you wear it.
No, she wouldn't in the rebutlis.
So that whole thing was.
If you see each other before, then you can take pictures before.
And that saves a lot of time.
That's what we did.
We did our pictures quick, though,
because we were like, we don't want to have everybody here
and then be gone for a long time.
So we told the planner or another photographer,
we were like, all right, soon as we're done,
we got like 12 minutes.
Oh, no, you handled that the way you handle most things in life.
Where we were like out there and it was like click, click.
And Bobby's like, right, let's go.
I was like, her family, you three, here.
Go now, gee, I just didn't want to be gone the whole time, you know.
I know, but I had never seen it go that fast.
All right, thank you guys.

Scotty McCurry is thrilled by his success
with his country radio number one hits.
Yeah, it's been an amazing ride, especially these last few months and few years.
I remember a time not too long ago.
I just wanted one.
That was like my biggest goal in country music.
So to have four is just nuts to me.
I'm Morgan.
That's your skinny.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
We first shared this story a while ago about a 12-year-old named Brody, who came home from school,
and Brody was upset.
Only two teachers and two students signed his yearbook, and he'd also been bullied.
and that story went viral.
Well, Paul Rudd, who was in Ant Man, a ton of movies.
But Paul Rudd heard about this, and he sent him a letter.
And he signed an Ant Man helmet and sent that to him as well.
That's awesome.
Brody's mother, Cassandra, shared images of both the letter and the helmet on Facebook.
Paul wrote this in the letter.
It's important to remember that even when life is tough, the things do get better.
There are so many people that love you and think you're the coolest kid there is,
me being one of them.
I can't wait to see all the amazing things you're going to accomplish.
And then he signed his name.
Paul Rudd didn't have to do that.
That's really cool.
That is awesome.
You know, it reminds me.
I think we mentioned this too.
There was this guy that worked at Burger King like 25 years and never missed a day of work.
Oh, yeah.
And he's like, look what I got.
He was showing like the lame stuff they gave him for working 25 years.
It was like a pair of ear plugs, a Burger King hat.
I don't remember exactly what it was.
And David Spade reached out on Instagram and said him $5,000 bucks.
Yeah, amazing.
I mean, they definitely don't have to do that
And David Spade didn't share that story
He sent him 5,000 and just lived his life
And same here, Paul Rudd's people didn't share this
But loved it, love it for the kid, think Paul Rudd's awesome
That is what it's all about
That was Tell Me Something Good
All right, let's play the game that's so fun for me
And not fun for you
And by that I mean the show because it's a really hard game
It's called Never Gonna Get It
And let's bring back on Kate.
You may remember Kate from Troy, Idaho.
We played with her.
She did not win.
I promised her.
We'd play with her again.
Everybody say, hello, Kate.
Hey, Kate.
Kate, say hello, everybody.
Hey, studio.
There we go.
All right, so here's the question, guys.
It's a really hard question.
You're never going to get it.
All right, here we go.
Most Americans think age 12 is the right time for kids to start being able to do this.
Oh, easy.
What is it?
I'll read it again.
Most Americans think that age 12 is the right time for kids to start being allowed to do this.
What is it?
All right, how it works, Kate, you'll have the first shot here.
What do you think most Americans think age 12, that's the right age, let kids start doing this.
What is it, Kate?
Women are girls wearing makeup, but that's only capturing 50%, so that's probably not it.
Okay.
Cell phones, but we'd be.
parents do that earlier these days.
Ride their bike to school.
You got three so far that all sound pretty solid.
Most Americans think age 12 is the right time for kids to start being able to do this.
Kay, you got 10 seconds.
You're now on the clock, and let's hear your answer when you get it.
Have a cell phone.
Have a cell phone.
Solid answer.
Amy, when did you let your daughter have a cell phone?
Oh, she got one for her 15th birthday.
Eddie?
14, yeah, earlier this year.
It's a little older.
Yeah.
Okay, she's, Kay says have a cell phone.
Is it have a cell phone?
It is not.
Okay, good.
Okay, but one answer down.
Anybody have that is theirs?
No, no, my answer is the right answer.
No.
Oh, lunchbox you think you know it?
No it.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
I love it.
100%.
All right, so think about it.
Now we'll go to the show.
You guys, most Americans think age 12 is the right time for kids to start being able to do this.
What is it?
All right, you guys have your answers in?
Yeah.
Amy, how do you feel?
I feel okay.
Lunch?
Oh, I got it.
This is it.
Boom, boom, boom.
Lunchbox calls his shot every time.
You have to hit a homer yet.
Eddie?
I feel good.
Right in the middle.
Middle of the road.
You always feel terrible.
I know, but I feel good.
I thought of this too easily.
Morgan?
I don't feel good.
I don't have kids.
So I'm just winging it over here.
Okay.
Well, you are closer to 12, though, than these other three.
That's true.
Okay, Kate, pick one of these members of the show here, Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie, or Morgan.
and if they get it right, you get it right, and you win not only the Sonic $50 gift card,
but you win a signed copy of my book.

All right.
Go ahead.
Kate, who would you like?
I'm going to switch it up this time.
I'll start with lunch.
That's right.
Lunchbox, she's putting all the faith.
You can end this game quick.
Oh, it's over.
We can get right to this song.
Hey, what song's coming up?
We're going.
A good one.
A good one right now.
Hey, let's go to that.
Let's go to that.
Let's just hit the song because it's already over.
You're going to say it over the intro of the song?
Yeah, here we go.

Are you guys changing the answer once I put in the right answer?
No.
I don't think you can do it.
It's on a piece of paper.
Are you guys, who's shocked?
I'm shocked.
I thought he got it.
My answer is good, too.
I don't care what you guys think of him getting it.
I have the answer.
So we have three people, Amy, Eddie, and Morgan now.
Kate, you can actually go with all three of them, or you can flip a coin to see if you win the prize.
It's up to you.
Now, last time I tried going with everyone is, that didn't work for me, so I think I'll flip a coin.
Oh, well, that's not.
Let's see if anybody got it.
Amy, what you got?
Social media.
Eddie.
Yeah, I said social media.
Morgan.
I said have sleepovers with their friends.
That's incorrect, too.
What about put themselves a bit?
No, the answer would have been.
and babysit younger siblings.
Age 12 is when you finally can leave
and they can watch the younger sibling.
Yeah, okay.
No need to punch the table.
No, because I thought about that.
Okay, Kate, you ready to flip this coin?
Sure.
All right, give me some coin flipping music.
Here we go.
It's time to flip the coin.
Kate, pick it, heads or tails?
Heads.
She picks heads.
Amy, I'm going to flip it.
You yell from the floor what it is
for a sonic gift card.
A signed copy of Stanley the Dog
and his first day at school vote
number one's kid's book of all time.
Bye.
By me.
Flip it.
What she picked?
Heads.
I got a little sidetrack by doing the whole bit there.
Here we go.
In the air, it's down.
Oh, no.
Kate.
Amy.
Shoot.
Amy.
What?
She just said, hedge.
You're the only one that can see it.
Like, what are you doing?
Say one thing about Amy is that she has integrity.
I know.
Like, girl, it's just, no one can see.
Just say heads.
Okay, boy.
I don't know.
Kate.
Please call him boy.
So.
Kate, you.
You didn't win. I'm sorry.

No.
Okay.
Roll the dice.
Okay.

Boy.
Boy.
It's okay.
Because I had honestly called for another reason.
And I got.
No, that's okay.

Okay, here we go.

Ready?
Yeah.

Oh, my gosh.
Hold on, hold on.
You can't give it.
Boy, boy.
You messed up.
Yes, the other boy.
Because you told her I'm going to hold up my hand.
You didn't say hands.
I said hands.
Yeah, you did not say hands.
Okay, here we go.

We're going to update you guys on the new shows we've watched. For example, Morgan, you watched,
what's Man from Toronto? It's on Netflix with Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson. And it's so good.
It's like an action and comedy movie. I laughed out loud several times. Kevin Hart is basically
mistaken for this really intense dude and has to imitate him throughout the whole movie. It's a little raunchy,
but if you're looking for like a good comedy action movie,
it's really good.
All right, what do you give it?
I give 3.8 out of five hats.
Okay, we got to stop with the 0.8s.
No, we got to stop 3.7924.
It was so close.
Okay.
I mean, we got to go halves and fools, Morgan.
All right, 3.5 out of five hats.
Okay.
So, man from Toronto on Netflix.
Ray, you watch a Trace Atkins movie?
Yeah, it's called 13 minutes.
It's basically a 20-22.
version of Twister.
I feel like it was pretty budget, so
unfortunately I only give it one out of five
deep voices. Oh, dang.
One out of five? What? Deep voices.
I hope he's got deep voices. That movie
must have sucked. Is it a movie or a show?
Yeah, it's a movie. It's an hour and a half on
Amazon video. Okay.
And he chases tornadoes, Ray? Like what? I don't understand.
No, he just stands in or buy something. He lets him come to him.
He's a big guy. His family's
affected by him. Okay.
All right. Well, so that's Morgan
and Ray's review. I'll give you
one of the best shows I've seen in five years coming up.
You guys have your movie reviews.
We'll do that coming up next.
Had a week off, had a great vacation.
You can see a lot of my pictures on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones.
But let's go around and talk about the shows.
We watched and let's review them because every time I go on in my DMs,
they're like, hey, what are you watching?
It's good.
And I'll start with a show called Severance that I watched.
It's on Apple Plus.
Don't think I would have started it, but a friend was like,
hey, this is right up your alley.
It's like kind of future, kind of black mirror type show.
and Adam Scott is his name.
You know Adam Scott?
Yeah.
What was he?
He's in everything, but you can't name anything he's in.
That's it.
Yeah, parks and wrecks.
Yeah, there we go.
And so, they put this chip in your brain, and when you go to work, you forget everything?
You only know your work life.
Okay.
When you go home, you only know your home life.
So when you're at home, it feels like you're ever only at home when you're at work.
It's called Severance.
It's a best show I've seen in five years.
Really?
For me, it was awesome, and it was just Caitlin and I going,
I wish we watched another one
but if we run through it so fast
we don't want to watch it all today
it was that
it was better than binge watching
it was so good that
we binge watched it with caution
because we didn't want it to be over
okay so I started this like five months ago
I watched episode one maybe even half of episode one
I said eh I'm good
when did you watch it and say oh this is so good
Caitlin said it was so good right as episode three was starting
I was it
Listen, I was into it like 20 minutes into it.
And I was like, oh, this is for me.
I don't get it yet.
But I know this is like black mirror type stuff
where it's like they're predicting
what's going to happen in the future.
Like it's somebody going,
this is what's going to happen, so be aware.
I totally gave up on it, dude.
It's the best show I've seen in five years.
Okay.
Mike Dave seen it?
I started it, yeah.
I only seen two episodes, though.
When did you start it?
Like five months ago, like Eddie.
Oh, you guys got to get it.
I just forgot about it.
And I'm not saying it's a super new show.
It's a this year show.
Yeah.
But I didn't know about it.
Okay, so I'm going severance.
I'm giving that five out of five brains.
Wow.
Yeah, that's great.
Wow.
We started a show called Blackbird because we're never on Apple Plus because I'm like,
what kind of freak watches Apple Plus?
Honestly.
It's not Ted Lasson.
Yeah, I'm like, who gets on that street?
And so there's a show called Blackbird because we will Google what's good to watch
and then just look at the list of shows.
And Blackbird got like 98% and we're like, what is that on?
Oh, Apple Plus.
Okay, we went to it.
And there's only two, maybe three episodes now.
because it just started,
but it's a true story
of a guy who was a drug dealer,
trying to drug runner,
gun runner,
had guns.
He gets arrested
and goes to prison
and they're like,
hey,
you have all these years.
Now,
you can serve them
because he's a young,
really good looking guy.
Or we can put you in a max security place
and you can get this confession
from a serial killer.
Ooh,
that sounds good.
Oh,
and you only got like,
you know,
a little bit of time to do it.
And so,
again,
it just started.
It's like,
again,
on episode three,
we're into it.
We're into it.
That sounds real good.
Yeah, I can't give it
enough jail bars yet
because I've only seen two,
but we're watching that
and we love that.
And so,
and we've watched the first three episodes
of Only Murders
in the building on Hulu.
Yeah, those are good.
They're good.
Lovely.
Just a great, wholesome, fun show.
Not wholesome for kids
because they drop a bad word
every now and then.
But it's like, it's good.
So I'm gonna go,
those are my recommendations.
Mike, you watch Thor?
Yeah.
And?
I loved it.
You did?
One of my favorite
Marvel movies in a long time. And you watched Thor, Eddie? So my kids wanted to go watch Thor and I said,
all right, I'll go with them. Didn't expect much. Dude, it's so good. Thor loving Thunder is so good.
He's the worst one of all of them. He is so funny in this movie. I laughed so hard and they play
all Guns and Roses. Like, so, I'm watching my kids jam out to Guns and Roses. I'm like, this is the
best thing ever, dude. It was so, so good. Huh. You know, with Thor, I watched the first one
I thought it was pretty good. Then I watched the second one. I'm out. I don't know more Thor.
But it's that good.
Huh? Why do I dislike Thor? Is he the weakest of all of them?
I think he's underrated, but yeah, his solo movies haven't been the most well-received.
Okay, so there's Thor. Amy, do you watch anything?
Well, Grey's Anatomy just got added to Netflix, like at the end of last month.
And so now you can binge the whole thing on there. So I started with Season 1 episode 1.
Wait, have you ever seen it before?
Back in 2005.
Yes.
Okay. Interesting.
I probably just first started by I left off.
McDreamy, right?
Nothing. I can't remember. And it's all so good.
good, so I'd rather just start with season one, episode one, and work my way to season 18.
That's a lot of seasons.
That's like you're hibernating for the winter, or like you're running from the law or something.
I feel like they don't do that anymore.
Like, nothing makes 18 seasons.
Yeah, that's crazy.
All right, well, that's what we watched.
My three shows, Thor and Season 1 of Grey's Anatomy.
All right, keep us updated, Amy.
All right, oh, by the way, big announcement.
Tickets on sell Friday for my two shows.
We're doing two more here in Nashville of my residency.
comedically inspirational.
It's comedy.
It's basically an inspirational talk at the same time.
There's music.
Eddie and I The Raging Idiots are going to play a little set as well.
On Friday, Eric Dodd is opening.
I don't know.
Maybe an appearance from Sisson Ray Mundo.
Did you know he was opening Ray?
Did not? That's awesome.
Okay, so he's opening Friday night.
Dodd didn't even call Ray.
Come on.
Means he doesn't want Ray showing up.
And then Steve Mokler on Saturday night.
Very cool.
opening up and then we are, it's
really pumped about it. You guys get tickets on
Friday at bobbybones.com
if you want to come, we'd love to have you.
Bring the kids. No bad words. If you want to bring the kids,
it'd be super funny.
All right, a couple voicemails. This is
number one. I was just wondering
if Bobby could give some
tips for when he's
writing his
stand-up comedy because
I want to do some like stand-up
open mics and just
wanted his tips on when
he's writing.
Anyways, that's it.
Here's a tip, and I do this for writing comedy or this show or when I'm writing books.
But I go on to my notes app on the iPhone and anything, any thought that I have that I think, oh, there's a bit there.
Oh, there's something to write about.
I write it in my phones.
What do I have now, you ask?
Yeah, what do you have now?
Thank you for asking.
I have being Little Spoon.
Because I'm a little...
Oh, that's a skit.
Well, not a skit.
Okay, people.
A comedy bit.
Yeah.
Okay, a skit.
being Little Spoon, right?
I have that. I said,
and this is not the joke,
but it's like if being a little spoon
makes you think less of me as a man,
well, you haven't seen me much on TV.
Like dancing with...
Anyway, so find things that's even more,
less masculine than that.
So that, you know,
and so the whole joke's not there,
but I got the part to play with.
Executives wanted me to talk about
getting picked on or growing up poor.
Because sometimes I just don't want to talk about it.
And they're like, you know what?
The ratings go,
people love it when you talk about that stuff.
And I'm like, do you guys understand
what you're asking me?
No, but if you talk about how you're on welfare,
point one in the ratings immediately up.
And so I have like that,
because it's just a weird thing to talk about.
I have...
So that, that's what I would say.
I want to go through all my jokes here,
because they're not jokes.
Give it all the way, dude.
Well, it's not even jokes.
It's just ideas.
So what I would say, caller,
is just write notes in your phone
about things that you think are pretty funny,
even if they're one line or so,
and then go back and revisit them.
And it's terrible.
The first time you do comedy, it's terrible.
You go up and nobody laughs at anything
And you're like, dang, I suck
But then you keep doing it
By the way, I'm doing two more shows
Tickets Go on Sell this Friday
For my show is August 12th and 13th

Comedically Inspirational Show

Not anymore
Not anymore
Tickets go on sale Friday
If you guys want to come to Nashville
Just bobbybones.com
but we can't wait to do that.
All right, here's Alex from Anchorage, Alaska.
I got a morning.
Did the mama buffalo day to the baby buffalo
when they went to school.
My son.
It's all the delivery.
All right, I appreciate that.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
There's a new hangover pill that just hit the market.
It's only on sale in England right now,
but it's only a matter of time until it makes its way to the U.S.
and it's been in the works for 30 years.
So scientists, you know, they've worked out a concoction
that they think is really going to keep people
from feeling bad the next day.
It prevents you from getting drunk.
That's the only twist is that it doesn't really go
into your bloodstream as quickly as alcohol.
So if you're just wanting to be a social drinker
without the effects of alcohol,
then this drug is for you.
That's terrible.
Why would you ever take the pill?
It's, no one's going to take this pill.
That's why we drink.
Yeah, why would, why don't you just,
Instead of being a social drinker, be a social fake drinker.
I mean, if you have to act like you're drinking, do what I do.
I don't drink, but I get a mottel and sometimes I'll say it to the bartender away from.
Or just, who cares?
You ever get a hangover from doing that?
No.
Nope.
See?
You're good.
That's the weirdest pill.
I thought, well, if you take it and you have a hard night the night before, okay, I get it.
But if you take it because you wanted to drink but you didn't feel the effects of drinking,
none of that makes sense to me.
None of it.
All right.
I cannot see that being.
a successful pill. What else? Okay, well, Tom Cruise, have you seen how much money he could make from
Top Gun Maverick? No, but I would imagine he owns a part of that. His initial salary for the movie was
$12.5 million, but in his contract, he did agree to 10% of Paramount's cut, which it's made over a
billion dollars in the box office, and then they're streaming and DVD stuff. So he's set to make
about $90 million. Good for him. I was worried about him. Yeah, yeah, poor guy. Yeah,
I thought it's going to be struggling this year.
Christmas coming up, you know.
He's going to be all right.
Well, 12.5 for an actor like Tom Cruise, that's pennies, by the way.
You know, he's a $50 million, $60 million guy.
So when you go 12 to 90, that's significant.
But 50 or 60 to 90, although that's a whole lot of money, it's not as significant.
But I bet she makes more than that.
I can't believe Paramount agreed to that deal.
He probably wouldn't do the movie without having that in the contract.
Wow.
Yeah, that's a good one.
All right, what else?
Well, Luke Bryan took a fall while.
on stage this weekend, but it didn't really affect his performance at all. He just kept singing
while he was laying on the ground, and he even did some air humps while on the ground, so he also
kept dancing. I like that song, air humps, air humps, air humps, check it out. I saw it, and I love Luke
and I'm friends with Luke, so I would only say this because that's my guy. It almost looked like
when you smush your granddaddy long legs and they keep moving. Oh, wow. You know what I'm talking about?
And it's like the leg keeps going. You're like, he's down. He's pretty, but he's my guy.
He's going. He's going. All right, Amy, is that it?
Yeah, I made me. That's my file.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Stay home, it's something good.
Seven-year-old David Diaz, Jr. is eating lunch in the cafeteria and Bingenton, New York with his friends.
And he's sitting there eating when a kid, a table over starts choking.
And he's like, man, I watch the good doctor with my dad.
I know how to do the hemlick.
He jumps up.
Runs over, grabs the classmate.
Oh!
Boom.
Kids, okay.
All thanks to David Diaz Jr.
And the good doctor.
You know, I've never had to do the Heimlich on anyone,
but I think because I've seen it so many times I could.
Oh, yeah?
Is that the easiest lifesaver there is?
Is it the one you just wrap?
That's it.
And then you just push.
Rapping chunk.
And I'm sure there are real life people who know to do it really going shut up,
you guys.
You can't really just do it.
But I think, isn't that probably the life-saving
technique that we could do the quickest because we've seen it so many times.
And it has to be pretty easy if a seven-year-old's doing it.
Correct.
Like, name another one.
Mouth to mouth.
Mouth.
Again, I don't know that I'm doing it right because apparently now you're not supposed
to do mouth, you're only supposed to do chest compression.
Correct.
That when you poke the hole in someone's throat so they can breathe.
Oh, yeah.
I've never heard that.
You never want to do that one.
Oh, what about the EpiPen?
That sounds easy.
Yeah, but the problem with that is you do it to yourself.
So, and that's just,
You don't want to do it to somebody else.
Because you go and stand with the append.
They're like, whoa, bro, I'm scratching myself.
That's all I was doing.
That's good.
That's seven-year-old.
That's awesome.
Good story, lunchbox.
That is what it's all about.
That was tell me something good.
All right, let's go over to Amy and get in the morning corny.
The morning corny.
Why isn't there a professional hide-and-seek league?
Why isn't there a professional hide-and-seek league?
Good players are too hard to find.
That was the morning corny.
Our phone screener Abby went on vacation by herself.
She was like, what do I do?
And Abby, who convinced you to do this?
Eddie and Scoobo Steve.
Okay, so before you give us your, what you call your highlights and your sketchy lights,
are you happy you went by yourself?
I am.
I had a great time.
Okay.
I don't know.
How she said it?
I'm not convinced.
I feel like there are a lot of stories.
Oh, no, I really did.
How many highlights do you have?
Five.
Okay, let's go.
Let's count them from the bottom up.
Your number five highlight from vacation by yourself, Abby.
Okay, so I saw an artist walking on the street, actually.
Like a painter?
No, a singer, a country singer from Nashville.
Who was that?
Priscilla Block.
And did you go talk to her?
I did not.
I wasn't sure if it was her at first.
Because we were just walking on the street.
Then I was like, wait a minute, was that her?
And then I went to her Instagram.
and she was...
All right.
That's why it's number five.
Number four?
Abby's highlights?
I was on a fireworks cruise on like a catamaran,
and I was just taking pictures of the ocean,
and then I turned around,
tripped on a bench, and I fell,
spilled my drink everywhere,
my phone went flying, everybody saw.
So that was awesome.
Wonderful.
Wait, that's not a highlight.
I think she's confusing what highlights means.
I mean, these are like the main points in my trip.
Okay, so...
I guess highlights and low lights, I don't know.
Memorable moments.
Okay, we'll just call these Abby's Big Five.
memorable moment.
I don't know what this are.
Number three, Abby.
Okay, so I met this guy in Miami.
It was really cute on the street corner.
And I was like, oh, where should I go?
You know, I was lost.
I didn't know I'd do what to do.
We kind of walked to a park and then we split ways.
Well, I saw him in Key West the next day.
He was at the same bar I was at.
And I was like, oh, my gosh, hey.
He followed you.
Hold on, hold on.
Go ahead.
No, I don't think he, I don't know.
Yeah, air tag.
Go ahead.
Oh, and then we kind of hung out, watched the sunset,
and then we had plans to sing karaoke because he brought it up.
He was like, we should sing karaoke at a bar.
And then he got my number, and then I never heard from him.
He ghosted me.
Oh, no.
Wait, did you kiss him?
No, no, I didn't.
You watched the sunset in a different state, in a different state, and you didn't kiss him?
He had a buddy with him, so then I kind of turned into a third wheel.
But then I kept running into him all.
the time, but I didn't, I didn't let him
Wait, so he
he
ghosted you and then he kept seeing
you, did you guys ever talk again? I don't think he saw me,
I saw him and avoided him.
So did you follow him?
No, my key was just small.
Yeah, he didn't follow you, you follow him.
She air tagged him, yeah. My bad, I had it all wrong.
Yeah, you did.
Number two, Abby.
Okay, so this was awesome. I was
driving through the Keys and it was noon
and I heard my national anthem on the radio play.
That is awesome.
So, for our new listeners, Abby is our phone screener,
but she also, you know, has a dream of being a singer.
So she recorded the national anthem,
and a lot of our stations wanted to play it because they played the national anthem.
And you heard it randomly?
Do they know you were there?
I don't think they did.
I really don't.
That's amazing.
That's really cool.
That's like artist's first song on the radio type moment.
It was really cool.
Oh, I freaked out.
I actually took a video.
I am dragging.
That's awesome.
I was going like five miles an hour, so.
It was fine.
And then there was a flag on a flagpole on the side of the street.
And I was like, this is so crazy.
It was really cool.
Oh, like a U.S. flag.
Yes.
No, there's U.S. flags everywhere.
That's not that crazy.
No, there is.
No, I liked it.
I liked it.
On the side of the street.
Your number one, Abby, your number one big moment from your vacation alone.
I met people at a bar.
They invited me on their boat the next day and we went to a secluded island.
And it was amazing.
Oh, gosh.
Tell us more.
Wait, what really happened?
Yeah, tell us what happened on that island.
No, we just went to like this.
Who are these people?
I don't know.
I was in a bar to started talking to some people, and I was like, man, I just want to go to like a sand bar out in the middle of nowhere.
It's clear, the water's clear, and they were like, we're going tomorrow.
So I jumped on that boat.
Just went?
I did.
You know they are now, right?
Oh, yeah, they're cool.
It was like a family.
They're really cool.
They're hit?
No, they're really cool.
kids or are you talking like a family of dudes?
So it was two daughters
about my age and then their parents.
Okay, that's safe.
Yeah, we trust you.
We're okay with that.
All right, so that's Abby,
our phone screener.
All right, in the next segment, like three minutes or so,
Abby, our phone screener,
she went on vacation by herself
for five days and she came back with stories.
She has her highlights and we heard those.

Hey, everyone.
It's Cal Penn.
I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and I Heart Audio Book Club.
This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's
audiobook Project Hail Mary, massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science.
And what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth?
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat
and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
And it's like, okay, yo, yeah, yo, is this indulgent?
And I really thought about it.
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betrayed.
the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me, and I left it on the mic.
That's great.
Because it served the story.
People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end.
It's like, yeah, dude, me too.
Listen to Earsay, the Audible and IHeart Audio Book Club on the IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Abby is our phone screener.
She went on vacation by herself to Florida for five days.
So what I'd like to do is go around the room and everybody say one thing about Abby.
So our audience knows her a little bit before she gives us her five sketchiest moments from the trip.
I'll go first.
Abby is from Kansas.
She was born and raised in Kansas as a went to KU, big Jayhawk fan.
And that's my fact about Abby.
Amy, what do you got?
She's the sweetest person ever.
Yeah, very sweet.
I mean, she went to a Brooks and Dunn concert maybe two weeks ago and she got me a
shirt from merch of Neon Moon
because she's like, I know Ronnie doesn't play this at your
wedding and I got it from the concerts since you weren't there.
I thought that was the nicest thing ever. Super sweet.
Eddie? Okay, Abby likes to have fun. Like,
she doesn't sit at home and like, oh, I'm just going to spend it all day at home.
No, she likes to get out and do fun things.
Would you just say that? Is it generic?
No, it's real. She does. She tells me all the time.
Lunchbox? I would say
awkward. She's very socially
awkward in situation. No, she really
is. And she'll admit this, right? Abby, you're socially awkward.
I would sometimes, maybe.
Yeah, absolutely. So in social situations,
She doesn't really know how to act and she fidgets and she's always trying to move around because she doesn't know what to do and she's delusional.
Okay.
She's been single for 99% of the time that we knew her.
She struggled because she was like, guys, keep ghosting me.
She had a boyfriend for a little bit.
Now she doesn't again.
I think that's it.
Abby, you're what, 30?
31?
31.
Okay.
So now their audience knows Abby.
Abby, let's do your five sketchiest moments from your solo vacation that Eddie and Scuba told you to do.
Number five.
Well, I kind of grouped the guy that ghosted me as one of them.
Okay.
That whole thing was a sketchy deal.
But it seems like you followed him around after he ghosted you.
I did not.
We happened to be at the same places.
I really didn't follow him.
So Abby, it was weird.
Abby met a guy.
They watched the sunset.
They talked about karaoke.
He never called her back.
But somehow she saw him every day from then on out.
Interesting.
In a different city.
Yeah, that was weird.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
All right, Abby, number four.
Every time I sat at a bar by myself, an older gentleman would just come and sit by me and start talking.
Like, it was very, very strange.
It was never anyone my age.
They had to be very, very weird.
This guy said he was the main or one of the head entertainers in QS.
And I was like, what does that mean?
Did you look him up?
I looked him up and I couldn't find anything.
So did he entertain you?
I asked him, he's like, oh, I'm too embarrassed to say.
I was like, uh, what?
And then he looked around all dramatic.
He's Spider-Man that rides around on a scooter, like back and forth.
He's one of, because they have street performers, like on Mallory, Mallory Square there, you know, during sunset.
So Spider-Man tried to say what's up, but you wouldn't give him time of day?
Yeah.
No, not really.
He wouldn't ghost you?
He may webb you.
Hey.
He got caught his web.
Yeah, and then I saw him riding on a scooter and he waved at me.
He was funny.
So you met a celebrity.
I did.
Number three, Abby.
Let's go.
Okay.
So I'm trying to just go listen to some live music.
There was a bouncer there.
And he's like, hey, you want to hook up later?
I won't tell your husband.
What?
I'm like, what?
Did you?
I'm like the bouncer?
No.
That's a good line.
No, that's not a good line.
Abby number two.
Okay.
Oh, in Miami.
I forgot this one.
I was at a bar just watching the sunset.
And this older guy tried to buy me a drink and get me to go on his yacht.
Dang, man.
What?
Okay.
Abby, stop.
So I'm like you have trouble with guys.
I mean, Abby is just so beautiful.
All these guys were just falling over her.
I mean, yachts and boats.
I believe her, I'm not even saying that.
I'm saying, was the guy creepy?
Yes.
He had a yacht.
He could have been my grandpa.
He was an older.
And you didn't want to, you just, okay, I agree.
I didn't even entertain it.
Okay.
Okay.
And, uh, what superhero was he?
Yeah, he was not.
That was Bruce Wayne.
Okay.
And your number one creepy.
Oh, the yacht, man.
I don't know that I could have said no to that.
Yeah, the yacht sounds awesome.
You gotta check it out.
I never even been on a yacht.
Okay.
Number one.
I don't know if this is really that creepy, but like a married listener, I ran into him.
And he kept talking to me and he was like, oh, my wife and I love you.
And he kept backing away.
And he's like, I promise I'm not a creeper.
And at the end of the conversation, he was like 20 feet away.
I was like, it's fine.
You don't need to keep backing up.
Well, here's what I'd say.
Abby calls every man a creeper.
Uh-huh, everyone.
We've just heard, so I don't know that I disagree so much.
I'm afraid to go up to her today.
No, I wasn't scared of him.
Well, Abby, you are the one that if a married man helps you lift your luggage on the airplane that is inappropriate.
So he's like, oh my gosh, Abby's going to talk about me saying I was being inappropriate because I talked to her and I'm married.
Is Abby perpetually single because she thinks every guy's a creep?
Yes.
But why does she think every guy's a creep?
They're just always three times my age and I'm just not interested.
They're always 90?
Well, dang, that's trouble.
That's a-two times.
That's a tough one.
I agree with you there.
Excuse me, Mish.
Would you like to have a drink?
Let me take out my teeth.
Maybe we can share a soda with twish straws.
Let's go.
Hey, you guys can call in if you would like.
877 Bobby.
I'm going to do the news in like 30 seconds.
Amy is in a studio in her home because she got sick on vacation.
That would probably be her thing that stunk from vacation.
We can do that.
What stunk on vacation?
Oh, that's good.
Yeah.
Do I have one though?
Yeah, yours is pretty good.
One, something that stunk?
No, your vacation was pretty good.
I'm trying to get anything stuck.
Oh, yeah, I got one.
Okay.
Yeah, I got one.
I got a big one.
Okay.
We'll do that coming up in a few minutes, but now the most important segment of the day, your big stories.
Bobby's Big.
Stories.
A Georgia mom has slammed American Airlines for losing her 12-year-old daughter.
When she flew alone from Tennessee to Miami, Monica Gillum 39, blasted the airline after Kimber was not escorted off the plane and disappeared.
The youngster had been flying solo.
from Chattanooga to Miami last week to see her father.
The mom forked over an extra $150 for her to be chaperoned through both airports
and a cabin member who had a badge would be walking her.
But when she got off the aircraft, they smiled and waved and away she went.
I'm assuming they found her at some point.
Yeah, they found her.
That's in Daily Mail.
I tell you, what do I know?
What do I know, right?
Let's say it.
What do I know?
Nothing.
I know nothing.
But when I'm 12, I can navigate through an airport.
12, I'm pretty smart. By 6th grade, I can just follow signs.
When I was 12, I was paying taxes.
That's working a job. I feel like the Miami airport's big.
You're probably right, but I'm saying when I was 12, I had to grow up a little earlier than most folks.
When I was 12, I was rocking it, though. Let's go. Next up, consumers spent an average of $133 more each month on subscriptions than they realize this according to a study.
We added up all of ours, and when we added them up, we realized we need to cut a couple.
Really?
Yeah, we're going to cut the one with the 1883 on it.
Paramount?
Yeah, we don't watch enough there right now.
That's a tough, though.
That's a tough decision.
We never go over to it.
And right now, there's not a show that makes us go to it.
And if there is, we'll hit, read, subscribe, but it's just too much.
Was that the only cut?
Yes, for now.
You probably would have cut Apple Plus, but then you found that show.
Yes, we found severance, and then we started watching Blackbird.
So yes, but we are making the move.
But even Hulu, we're on Hulu a little bit, but only murders in the building is there.
All a subscription service needs is one really good show.
And they got you.
And then they got you, and then you just forget until you add them up again, like the study says, yeah.
It's $133 per month.
You subscribe and Amy to anything that you put.
probably don't watch as much as you should.
No. I already went and did a clean out several months ago,
and I feel pretty confident with where we are.
But we were definitely wasting a lot of money, that's for sure.
We also have cable, too.
So by the time we have cable and then start to add up the services.
I can't leave it.
Yeah, cable's important.
Yeah, it's got sports.
I don't have cable.
Yeah, well, a pin of rose on your nose.
Next up, science proves that being hangary is real.
For the first time ever, a new study has linked hunger to a person's emotional state.
The study suggests that increased levels of hunger increase a person's anger and irritability.
Yeah, the sky's blue.
Yeah, the ground is flat and it hurts when you fall on it.
Duh.
When people get hungry and they get angry.
This is real.
Okay. Yeah, that's a dumb one.
Do you want your home to smell like a bowl Lucky Charms?
Well, General Mills just released a line of cereal-inspired candles.
I don't know, does this candle make you sick like the Lucky Charms did?
Yeah, I made a lot of lucky charms.
If a whiff of Lucky Charms is enough to transport you to a simpler time,
you can now access the aroma on demand.
As Food and Wine reports, Target is now selling a line of cereal-scented candles from General Mills.
Cinnamon Toast Crunch will be a good one.
Yes, that'd be real good.
They have that one.
They have a honeynut Cheerios.
Ain't nobody buying that.
That doesn't smell like anything.
Ain't anybody buying.
If you get to go pick from here the five they have,
cinnamon toast crunch, that's a good smell.
Yep.
Lucky Charms, a pretty good smell.
Tricks smells too sugary and I love sugar
But Tricks is like all
It's all the fruity
Yeah little balls
Yeah
So I'm gonna pass on that one
Coco puffs pretty strong
And honeynut Cheerios
Eh
Those are the candles
You can put in your house
And make it smell like that
A Florida woman hid
Her mom's body
And a freezer to keep collecting
Disability benefits
That's crazy
Police say
This is from Local 10 News
A Florida woman hit her
93 year old mother's dead body
in a freezer in order to keep receiving those checks.
Officials obtained a warrant Thursday for the arrest of Michelle Renee Hoskins 64
for failing to report the death of her mom, Marie Hoskins.
Officers found Marie Hoskins' body inside of a chest freezer after a welfare check.
Yes, it's crazy and it's sad, but I absolutely get it.
The money part.
If you're depending on that money to get by and she's passed away and you didn't kill her, right?
I don't think she killed her.
No.
That's a whole different level.
If she kills her, that's a different.
But she died.
Like, I understand.
I wouldn't do it.
But I'm not in a state where I would maybe have to do it.
Even if you knew your mom was in the garage and the freezer, like, all the time.
She's just, like, every time you pass.
But again, I have to pay bills and buy groceries and let's say, let's say, I don't know this is true, but I have a disability.
And I can't or something.
Like, I get why you would do this.
You do a lot of things whenever you can't afford stuff.
It's a weird story.
and a sad story, but I understand it.
Some crimes I don't understand.
Some of the...
I'm like, I don't know what people do that.
People hurt kids.
Like, that's not on my head.
I can't find that in me to even understand.
Do I get why someone robes the bank?
Yeah.
Any money?
Yeah.
Like, I get why she would do this, but that's sad and that sucks.
Minions, I mean, it made over $123 million bucks over a four-day opening.
Massive.
Just one of the biggest.
movies ever and now people are doing something
what they call it, gentle minions. And I saw people doing this on TikTok
and it was so funny. So what people are doing
mostly really funny teenagers, they get really dressed up and they go to
the minions movie. And they're in ball gowns and suits and
tuxes. And so they go and they watch it. But every time the
minions come on screen, they go crazy. So it's like
they're watching it. But whenever the full group comes on, they're like
the whole theater.
That's really funny.
And so if you gentle minion it up, some movie theaters are saying, please don't.
Because you're bothering other people?
Can you imagine you go in and you're not part of the gentle minions?
And there's a whole theater full of gentle minions.
And they just go crazy whenever the group shows up.
So the movie does massive numbers.
Movie, Mike, did you see minions at all?
Or do you plan on seeing minions?
I'm going to see it this week.
You should go in gentle minion it by yourself though.
Oh, I want to. So bad.
One man, gentle minion.
You kicked out of there.
A boy who saved their father says they learned CPR from the sandlot.
Two twin 10-year-old brothers, along with their friend, managed to save their father's life using a technique they learned from this classic movie.
Okay, I got him. I got him back.
Everybody moved back.
Come on, screen, pull through.
You're right.
You're right.
Never mind, never mind.
It's squint.
It's such an awesome scene.
He saves when, I mean, Squintz.
I mean, squint and Wendy Peppercorn, it's awesome.
Squintz was always my hero.
It kind of looked like an adult squint now.
Yeah, you do for sure.
But yeah, that's what happened.
Briden Hessick credited the Sandlaw for teaching him CPR,
which he performed on his dad after he had blacked out while performing routine breathing exercises in a backyard pool.
So the dad wasn't okay.
They flipped him over.
He saw it on the movie.
Wow.
I'm a big Baker-Mayfield fan.
It wasn't always when he's at Oklahoma.
But then he messaged me and was like, hey, listen to you all the time in Austin.
And I was like, that's my guy, big fan.
That's my dude.
So I've been a big Baker fan now for a long time and saw that Baker went to Carolina, super pumped for him,
and I hope they win a lot of games.
I'm going to be a Titans fan first.
I didn't grow up with an NFL team.
I grew up in Arkansas.
We did not have an NFL team, and most people in Arkansas were Cowboys fans.
So where are you?
So because of that, I was not a Cowboys fan.
That's ridiculous.
been a Cowboys fan. So I just didn't have a team. I wandered aimlessly. I liked the Bengals because
they had Boomer Ossiason, who was a left-handed quarterback, and I was a left-handed quarterback when I was
younger. And then I just kind of floated off into nowhere. But now it's Titans because I live here
and then now, hey, Panther up. What do they say? I don't know. Whatever. I'm with you, Baker.
The pirates. Mega millions jackpot grows again ahead of tomorrow's draw. $440 million.
I'm out lunchbox. Yeah, me too. I'm not.
Man, I was about to say it.
Like, guys, this would be it.
We come back from vacation.
I've lost too much money.
No, no, listen.
Story goes on vacation.
Stress reliever.
And they come back, super rich.
That's a terrible story.
I mean, that ain't very good headlines.
Stress reliever?
Box 8 Cleveland has the whole story about that.
Are you playing at lunchbox?
Yeah, I'm by 100 tickets.
Oh.
200 bucks.
You're going to spend $200?
Have to.
Wow.
It's almost 400 million.
It's like almost 500 million.
And it's the biggest.
been in like over a year.
Don't they always say that though?
It's every story.
I feel like I hear that all the time.
Since the last one.
You guys have been laughing.
I'm going to go on permanent vacation.
That would be death, I think.
A permanent vacation.
Oh.
Yeah.
You don't want that.
And finally, gas prices are dropping.
Thank goodness.
Gas prices are coming down after months of record highs.
AAA spokesperson Andrew Gross said that Americans can expect the trend to continue.
The national average is now 26 cents lower than the.
The record set on June 14th.
So, gases going down.
And that is from Bloomberg.
All right.
I think that's your news.
You want to call us you can.
877, Bobby.
All right, we're back after a week off of vacation.
Thank you guys for being here with us today.
I thought we'd go around the room and share the worst thing about vacation.
And how that comes up is Amy, because Amy's not in the studio with us.
She's a home.
Amy will let you start.
Go ahead.
Well, I mean, that's saying.
The worst part of my vacation was getting sick on the last day.
I had actually a really great vacation and it was awesome until the day traveling home.
And I started to feel really, really bad.
And now here we are.
And I just have a cough and it hurts.
But hopefully I'll be better soon.
Have you checked again for COVID?
I have.
And it says I'm negative.
Negative.
Negative.
Thank you.
What's a horse when he's negative for COVID?
Negative.
That's funny.
Yeah, thank you.
Okay, well, keep checking because sometimes it takes a few days to hit you.
Okay, so that's Amy's.
What did you do on vacation, by the way?
Do you want to share?
Yeah, we went to Colorado and did the Young Life family camp.
So I also could have gotten sick because that was probably around 100 kids.
Yeah, that's probably it.
Yeah.
But, I mean, it was the coolest thing ever.
We did so many awesome things that I've never done before.
And it was just really fun.
And your kids play the whole time, and it's like they go off.
I wouldn't see them for hours.
And I was like, this is the best vacation ever.
All right.
Lunchbox, worst thing that happened on vacation.
We went down to Florida to go to the beach.
And the second day we were there, my two-year-old after a day at the beach is getting in the shower.
And he takes a step in, slips, falls backwards.
Boom!
Bust his head wide open on the shower.
Go to the ER.
You had to go to the ER in a foreign state.
Yeah, in a town or state.
Yeah.
So he went to the John Hopkins down in St. Pete, three staples in the head.
And they say, oh, and by the way, no swimming until the staples come out.
Oh, no.
And so our vacation was spent at the beach sitting in the sand, not getting in the water.
The whole family?
Well, yeah, because you can't tell the two-year-old, like the two-year-old doesn't really understand.
He starts throwing a fit if the, you know, three-year-old gets to go in the water.
And so it's just like, man, this is terrible.
So other kids who didn't have stitches didn't get to get in the water?
No, no, we get in the water to our ankles and then be like, oh, can't go any deeper because, you know, you can't get your head wet.
And it's just like, this is terrible.
So you have sand on it.
So the vacation was a lot of sitting around in the sand,
building sand castles, doing nothing, not getting in the water, not swimming.
The whole trip was planned around.
So it was awesome.
Eddie?
Yeah.
So we also went to Florida and we did the whole beach thing.
But somewhere in the middle, I said, hey, let's go to do like an airboat gator tour or whatever.
So my wife gets online.
She books it.
We get there.
And we're five minutes away.
And I said, hey, are you sure we're going to see gators out there?
She's like, well, the airboats.
thing didn't say gators, but I'm assuming it's the
Everglades, there's gators. We get there
and the guys there on the boat, and we say, hey,
so we're going to see a lot of gators, right?
Because the kids want to see gaities, like, we may see
one or two, but it's mostly a historic
airboat gator
Everglades ride, and we're like, no, we want to see
gators. So we had to cancel it.
We drove an hour out to go do it.
But then on the way back, we saw a real-life
gator in a canal. We said, boys,
we just saved $500, and there's a
gator. You drove, and your car just drove over
water. It was about an hour and
10 minutes and we were upset when the guy said we were probably going to see like one little baby
Gator maybe.
500 bucks for how many people?
For the whole family.
Six of us.
It was a private airboat ride.
$500.
So I was already upset about that.
And if we were going to see Gators, I was like, wow.
I had to cancel those all the price down.
So then we canceled it, but we saw a real live Gator anyway.
We went to Utah and there's a lot of pictures of because the first half of the day we'd go
and do very outdoorsy, adventurey stuff.
And the second half a day, we'd just hang out and chill.
But we're in the desert.
the desert in like Utah, Arizona right on the line. And our first night, the air conditioner
went out in their hotel room. Oh, just done. In the desert. In the desert, right. So I call and I'm
like, hey, R.C's out. And they're like, oh, we're so sorry. And we've been traveling all the
first day to get there. We already unpacked our stuff. And they're like, okay, it's like 1130.
Like, we'll come over and we'll just move rooms to this other room, you know, all the way across
and we're like, oh, man, can you just bring some fans or something? Like, we're low maintenance.
So they brought some like Dyson fans and put them down.
And so they came and the next day they fixed the AC.
And then we got back to our room.
AC was not fixed.
So day two, no AC.
So we had two of the three nights with no AC.
But then we left, they like gave us half off all of our hotel stay.
Let's go.
We didn't even know.
Wow, that's what I'm talking about.
They said you get one free gator ride in Florida as well.
Exactly.
So we did that too.
So it wasn't anything terrible, but that was the kind of annoying thing is that we kind of
woke up sweating at night in the desert the first night.
Yeah.
And then we just turned fans on.
us, but I'd wake up so stuffy. I couldn't breathe because I had the fan right on my face.
I'd wake up. Good morning. But it was a lot of fun. Glad to be back. We did some new shows
last week, meaning July 4th was a holiday, so that was what it was. But the Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week, we did all new shows, had Luke Bryan in, did a whole thing. So those were all new
if you missed them on podcast. But we appreciate everybody being here. We're glad to be back.

Hey, everyone, it's Cal Penn.
I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and I Heart Audiobook Club.
This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter,
the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary,
massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science,
and what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth?
I really had to make a decision because I caught my son.
getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
And it's like, okay, yo, yeah, yo, is this indulgent?
And I really thought about it.
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener
have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me and I left it on the
mic.
That's great.
Because it served the story.
People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end.
It's like, yeah, dude, me too.
Listen to Earsay, the Audible and IHeart Audio Club on the IHeart Radio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Let's talk to Sarah in Louisiana.
Hi, Sarah. Good morning.
Good morning. How are y'all?
Doing pretty good. What can I do for you?
So I was calling. I listen to y'all every morning on my commute to work.
And my boyfriend and I have been talking about moving in together.
Our plan is to move in together pretty soon.
We live two hours away from each other right now.
now. So moving it together is a big step in our relationship. So I was just calling to see if y'all
had any advice for living with your significant other. Yeah, I have a lot of patience. I mean,
I think living with them before you decide to get married is the move because you learn a lot
about somebody if you're living with them. You think you know if they're staying over some and
you're going back and forth some, but you don't really know how they live whenever you're with
them 24-7. Like, where do they, they're already closing the floor?
their bathroom habits.
Oh, yeah.
And what they actually do, where they put stuff in the bathroom,
how they sleep all the time.
It's just have patience and you will figure it out.
I don't think, you know, unless he is a stabber in his sleep,
you're going to break up.
You're going to find anything that,
but it's just have a lot of patience.
You know, does he stay over a couple days at a time already?
Or do you stay with him?
Yeah, we usually stay in between each other's places every now and then.
And I also have a job that's two hours away from him.
So I have two different jobs.
So every now and then we get to stay with each other.
So we kind of have gotten a taste of being together, but just not 24-7 living with each other yet.
Well, it's also space, right?
Closets are now a thing whenever you live together more so than when you just stay together a couple days at a time.
You know, you're probably going to want the bigger closet.
I mean, or are you going to his house?
or your house? What are you guys doing there? Are you buying a new place?
We're looking to rent a new place.
Okay. Just have patience. I mean, he's going to pee probably all over the floor or some that he doesn't do when he just stayed.
Guys are disgusting. Here's what I'm going to say. Be ready to still love him even though you find out new disgusting things about him.
Because I consider myself a clean, easy to live with guy. And even I sometimes pee on the lid.
don't clean all the toothpaste out of the inside of the sink
when it gets down there and gets crusty.
He's going to make a mess when he shaves.
Absolutely.
Sometimes I'll shave and it'll be on the floor and I'll just leave.
And I won't know it, but I'll come home.
You'd be like, hey, I think there was an animal that died next to the sink.
You should check it out.
And I'm like, what?
And I walk in, it's all my whisk.
I'm like, ah, got me.
It'll be good.
It'll be awesome.
And just be prepared to be more disgusted by him, but love him more.
Okay?
Okay.
Eddie, anything you want to say to her?
No, I mean, I'm with you, but I'm, I also, too, think that just testing it out before you get married is a good thing.
Amy, anything you want to say?
I mean, tips for living together, you're just going to have to, as things happen, just be open to talking about it and maybe set any expectations you have.
Like, if you go ahead and have some of the talks before it happens, then you know expectations.
Like, these things Bobby's saying, go ahead and talk to him about it.
Hey, I would love it if when you shave, you could go ahead and clean up your beer.
My wife said that to me and it didn't have money.
Didn't change anything, did it?
You know, and then you got to talk about, you know, paying bills.
Is it 50-50?
Is it based on how much who makes the most?
All that stuff.
Here's another thing.
Some of that awkwardness will have to be addressed
and now that you didn't have to address
when you were just staying with each other.
And maybe it's not awkward,
but it's like, we're going to split the bills 50-50.
Everything.
Bill's right.
Well, but you ran the air longer.
Some of the roommate stuff now comes into play.
It's going to be awesome, though.
After all that.
Yeah, we don't know.
It's going to be great.
All right, Sarah, good luck.
Thank you for calling.
We appreciate you listening.
Okay, thank you all.
All right.
My wife is very easy to live with.
I don't think that I am sometimes.
I wake up early.
I try to be quiet way early in the morning.
And I try hard.
But how quiet can you be?
No, that's very difficult.
Whenever it's before the sun comes up and I need to shave and do push-ups.
Do you do push-ups?
What?
Here's the story I was teasing before the break here.
An influencer had to be wheeled through an airport
after she experienced horrible pain from holding in her farts.
Oh, yes.
The 21-year-old was at a music festival with her boyfriend.
She began to experience deep pain in her stomach
because she was too embarrassed to pass gas in front of her boyfriend.
And it hurt her so bad then she could have.
walk and she had to get in a wheelchair and they had to roll her through the airport in a wheelchair.
I mean, talk about embarrassment now. This is a national story. Oh, yeah, true. Everyone knows now.
She tried to hold it in for him. Now we all know. A trap gas is not a serious illness, but it can be
mistaken for something more severe. It is usually caused by an underlying condition like irritable bowel
syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome. It doesn't usually come from holding inflatuance, but you could think
you're having a heart attack. Yeah. But you're holding in a fart. I, I don't, I don't, I try to
keep the romance with my wife. I don't fart on her. On her? Or with her around. I mean, sometimes
it's actually, she says when I sleep, I'm like a motorboat, but I don't know about that. I don't know,
I don't know about that, but I am just like, you know, I'm going to try to preserve some sort of
romance. I don't, like, I won't hold it in if it hurts, but I'm just not going to sit on her
lap and give her one, you know. What do you do? You leave the room? Yeah. That's weird. Or, no, I just,
I mean, yeah, I don't, just don't.
It's not weird.
Maybe this.
Maybe I just don't push hard.
Like to make noise.
I get you.
I get you.
You know, I just try, again, to preserve some sort of romance.
But she, by the way, is not embarrassed by any of that stuff.
And she doesn't really fart or anything on me either.
But I'm always like, I don't want to come in.
I don't want to be near if you're using the bathroom.
She's like, that's what humans do.
She's like so much more mature than I am in all these ways.
All right.
All right. So there's that story.
The most expensive fries returned to New York.
There's a restaurant there, $200 a plate for these fries certified as the most expensive fries by Guinness.
And $200 is a good price for the most expensive fries.
$10,000, nobody would buy them.
But you got four drunk dudes at a table.
They may buy the $200 most expensive fries.
Hey, man, let's try.
We should get this.
I got $20.
I got.
How much you got, Trent?
We'll Venmo you.
Right.
But that's the deal.
They include chipper bag potatoes,
Dom champagne,
cage-free goose fat.
Oh, wow.
Truffle oil, it goes on and on,
but for 200 bucks,
you can get you a plate of these fries.
All right, there you go.
This story comes to us from New York.
A 25-year-old man was driving without a seatbelt.
Police pull him over, and he's like,
nah, ain't going down that easy.
He jumps out of the car, runs,
jumps on top of a train platform
and he's like, they're going to catch me.
So he jumps from the train platform
to the top of a building.
He makes it.
Only problem is he hurt his leg
and he had to call for help.
I'm surprised he didn't die.
Jumping on this stuff.
I mean, we see it in movies all the time
and I'm like, that would never happen in real life.
Poor guy sprains his ankle and it's like,
all right, uncle, I'm out.
All right, lunchbox.
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Thank you guys for hanging out with us.
It's the good news countdown.
Counting down the biggest good news stories across the lab.
All right, here we go.
Number three.
A girl in New Jersey just graduated this month as valedictorian of her high school class, which is great.
And valedictorian at her local community college.
Both the same time.
She actually got her college degree before her high school diploma.
So that is some hard work paying off right there.
That is awesome, Daniela.
Let's go.
Number two.
Six teenagers in New York.
York got their high school diplomas last month, then stripped off their robes and rushed out of graduation to go put out of fire.
Someone's garage went up and they're all volunteer firefighters.
Luckily, they stopped the fire from spreading and no one was hurt and they got back in time for the graduation party.
That is crazy.
All right.
Number one.
According to Guinness, an 86-year-old woman has become the world's longest serving flight attendant after 65 years of doing.
the job. Here is Bet Nash talking about why she got into the business and not wanting to retire.
I wanted to be a flight attendant from the time I got on the first airplane. I was 16 years old.
The pilot and the flight attendant walked across the hall and I thought that was for me.
Even when I think I might retire or something, then I come to work and I think, oh, I couldn't, I couldn't do that.
You know, at first I thought 86, but then you hear her talk?
She sounds alert. Yeah. Doesn't sound a day over 84.
No, that she?
She works for American Airlines, but she started with Eastern Air way back in 1957.
Never heard of that.
Yeah, old Orville and Wilbur.
The first clue for them.
Yeah.
And Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
She was a flight attendant on that flight.
That was the Good News Countdown.
