What's happening, everybody? Today is our Christmas show. Merry Christmas, everybody. Morning studio. Morning. Which, by the way, we will have another new show on Monday of next week.

week. This is not our final new show, but today is the Christmas show, just so everybody knows. Let me bring in our phone screener, Abby. Abby, good morning. Good morning. I have a lot of things talk to Abby about, but let me start with this, because you were taken out the trash and you noticed something on your trash can, which was what? So there was just a little note taped on there, and it was typed on there, and it said, happy holidays and, you know, happy New Year from your trash man, Jason, and family. And then under it had his address. typed up and that's it. So I'm like, okay, does that mean he wants us to tip him? Yes, that's what it means. So we send him cash in the mail.

A card, cash, you could probably maybe put it on the trash can, although that's riskier. What are your thoughts on this? I feel like it'd be better if you put Venmo because then I just Venmo you right then. Okay, yes. I guess my question is, how did you feel about the trash man putting that note on your trash can? I thought it was, because people aren't going to tip him, I don't think, on their own. so I don't mind him putting it on. I don't either, right? And I only bring this up because for years and years,

lunchbox just come in complaining about this exact thing. Oh, I have the thing on my trash gang. Got it last week, and I just laughed. I said, I don't need to bring it into the show because they already know that I'm just going to rip this trash man asking me for a tip. What am I going to give him a tip for? He's doing his job.

It's the Christmas show. It's the Christmas show. It's his job. It's his job to pick up the trash. I should not tip him for picking up the trash. Then I got to tip the mailman, the delivery driver, the FedEx guy, UPS guy.

You have to tip everybody in your life then because they're doing their job. No, no, no. And if he didn't spend all that money, here's a question. How much money do he spend printing all those for every single house and putting them in a little plastic baggie so they don't get wet? Take that money and that's your tip. Save the paper. Save the plastic bags.

Wow. He's been doing this little rant for about five years now. Okay. And I just wanted to know how you felt about it before I went to, him to show you how he feels. No, I think it was fine. I do too. And you know what? If you feel like they do a good job and you want to tip them, then you can. He's just giving you the option. He's not saying if you don't tip me, I will never come back and pick up your trash. But it's a time of the year when everyone is a bit more generous than they normally are. And if he is your

main guy and your only guy, why not? Okay. Everybody listening. I have a Venmo. If you think we've been... But that's different. How is it different? If you think we've done a good job, this year. Find me on Venmo. Can I get my Venmo here? No, you can't give your Venmo here. So that way, if you guys are inclined, you're feeling a little more generous this holiday season, tip me, because I've done a good job all year. But what if... Okay.

Abby, I agree with you. I think this is great that he should have put his Venmo or his PayPal or his cash japper or something like that if he has one, because it does make it a lot easier. And maybe he hasn't considered that. So is there a way you could leave a note back that's like, hey, hey, I... Oh boy, she's a pen pal with the trash guy over the top of

Because I'm sure she's not the only person thinking, oh, I wish you had a Venmo. He may just not know. So she could be like, hey, for next year, consider or add a Venmo, because that would be super, you'd probably get way more tips if you do that. Well, Abby, I hope you give him a few bucks. Oh, I will. Yeah, I'm going to do it.

Lunchbox. Merry Christmas, buddy. Merry Christmas. Oh, ho, ho. Apparently if you tip him, you have to tip everybody. Yeah. You have to tip us. You have to tip us.

Yeah. Let's go over and open up the mailbag. You send an email every radio. on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I was out recently doing some Christmas shopping and I ran into a department store, not realizing it was five minutes before they closed. I knew exactly what I was going in for, but did need to ask an employee where to locate it. The employee was not helpful and seemed annoyed that I was asking for help. I got what I went in for. I paid. I left with a few seconds to spare. I didn't think it was

such a big deal. If the sign says they're open, I'm going to go in and shop. I'm going to I want to know your opinion. Is it rude to come in five minutes before a store's closing time? Signed Rebecca. So I did a bit of retail in my day. And when it would be 10 minutes before, I'd be like, please don't come in the store. But you know what? If someone walked in, they should walk in.

The store is still open. Aren't you prepared to stay a little late? Well, what you have to do is clean up after or reorganize shelves or close out. So yes. A lot of stores are 24-hour stores, the big box stores. We weren't. Hobby Lobby wasn't. So we closed at 9. If someone came in at 85, I went, oh, okay, I'm going to handle them. But then I've got to go and you have to fix some shelves, some, you know, displays. It's fine. Just don't linger for 25 minutes after the store's closed. Right. Yeah. If you're going in at that time, you best know what you need and get it and get out. There's also a difference in going into a store five minutes before closing in a restaurant, five minute before closing. Because a restaurant, you stay. for 20, 30, 45 minutes and eat.

A store, go and get out. If the hour says until 9 p.m., you have until 9 p.m. The end. We know that working there, especially at Christmas. We know that. A restaurant, if you come in five minutes before close. Not cool.

We get a little annoyed. We have the right to be annoyed, but you have the right to eat because it is open until an hour. But please just move. Please move a little faster because we have plans to go home to our families. I start crying.

Remembering how hard it was back in the day. Come on, man. It's Christmas. Let me out of here. You're all good. You can go into a store until they close the store. Feel good. That's it. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Fun fact Friday. Let's go. Amy has curated the most fun facts of the week, five to one.

Number five. It's crazy to me that we sent people to the moon before we decided to put wheels on suitcases. The moon landing was in 1969, but the patent for wheels on luggage, 1972. Well, I would say probably it's because there weren't as many people flying. There wasn't a need for making suitcases super easy to travel with. Why do you have to always bring the logic? No, no, no, that was fun before you said that. Okay. You're not wrong, though. That makes sense. Like, I was thinking, gosh, why did it take so long for someone to think this, but you're right. They probably just

loaded it on the plane. I'm sure once air travel became easier for the everyday person and more reasonable, they were like, well, these suitcases, they're not fun to carry all the time. Can you imagine having a suitcase without wheels now? No, I can't. Terrible. But some people might have it. One of my suitcase didn't have wheels.

It doesn't? It's like a big bag. I carry it. Trash it. Well, hers my back every time. I'm like, I'm never using this again. Number four. So when Oprah gave each of her audience members a free car, They all had to pay up to $7,000 in gift taxes. A lot of them sold the car and made the money. Okay. So they sold the car, paid the tax, and came out ahead.

But yes, they had to pay tax on it. Crazy. That's life. That's America. I know. Welcome to America, baby. You got a free gift. Pay tax on it.

Did you have to pay tax when you went on the prices right in Vegas? It wasn't enough. I didn't win enough. Oh, what did you win? A microwave. I think it's probably above a certain dollar. I took the cash, the cash equivalent. Yeah, we played the prices right in Las Vegas, and I got picked to go up there.

Then I won the, you know, the, what's that called? The showcase. Yeah, no, the contestant's, he was up on the row and he bid, and he got to go up on stage and play one of the games. And before we walked in, Amy Littenden said, if any of you guys get called and it's not me, I'm going to kill you. Oh, my goodness. I got up there. This story has gotten more dramatic every year. That's true.

I'm going to kill you. Yes, exactly what you said. I'm going to kill you. Exactly what you said. Okay. So Tom Hanks refused a predetermined pay for his roles in Forest Gump and saving Private Ryan. He said, hey, look, instead of paying me, I just want a percentage from the movies, depending on how well they do. And good thing he chose that because he got $60 million from Forrest Gump and $40 million from saving Private Ryan.

The interesting thing about Forrest Gump is he ended up paying into that movie at the end because they didn't have enough money to finish the movie or to fly and do the running. scene. Oh. It was in a whole different spot. Oh, fun, fun, fun fact. So he paid and so did Ron Howard. Was Ron Howard the director of that? No, different guy. The Zamekis. Yeah. Robert Zemakis. They both paid into it, convinced the movie company, made even more money on the outside. Wow, they were

investors. In their own movie. I like where you took this. Yeah. I'm really on today. I'm really going out. Number two. So one in five country songs refer to alcohol. One in three refer to tears and one in seven to mama. The mama stuff has to be old.

Why? I don't hear that many Mama's songs anymore. No, Mama's broken heart. That's one. That's old. I mean, Dustin Lynch... That's what's old. Momas broken heart is 15 years ago.

Meanwhile, back in Mama's... But that's two. There's been a thousand songs. Mama tried. That's really old. That's really old. That's really old. Notties.

Dustin Lynch had won Mama's house. Mama's house. But there's so few... It's not one out of seven these days. That's got to be an old old old. I mean, and we're thinking of ones where it's in the title. This is if they're throwing a mama in in any verbs I'm calling old pole

I'm calling old pole Number one When a male llama Tries to make a move on a female llama She'll spit on him if she's not feeling it Dang Humans do too right I don't know

With Amy. Tell me something good.

So this woman, Rita, she was eating at eye. Hop. Her server was Jasmine. They got to talking and Jasmine is sharing how she stretched pretty thin, but she still, you know, was exuding patience, kindness, professionalism, amazing customer service according to Rita. So she left her $40 for her $30 breakfast that day. That's a $10 tip, more than 20%. Well, then she asked Rita for her cash app username, boom, slid $500 into her account later on. Oh, wow. Yeah. If I'm a waiter or waitress during the holiday season, I'm definitely airing all my grievances.

Tell your whole life story. Yeah. Because I think everyone's feeling a little generous. A little giving. And I'm like, man, right, I'm stretched so thin. I'm making up kids. Not that she did that. No, no, no.

But I'm just saying, if I'm listening to this. And listen, I've worked in, you know, as a waiter before, I'm like, man, it's been a really tough. I'm just sliding those things in. Can I tell you part two of this story? Nah. All right. That's, no, yes, you can. So Rita decided to share this story on Facebook to all of her followers about Jasmine

and encouraged others to contribute if they could. Boom. Jasmine has received more than $10,000 from Rita's Facebook community. You know what? Now I think about it, I'm a little stretched in right now. So everybody can listen. Sitting up here right now, that's a great story. That is what it's all about.

Because I don't, footballs, baseballs, other types of balls. And then after that, toy cars like hot wheels are next because if they fall apart, little pieces become choking hazards. Something scary. And then frisbees and boomerangs come in next.

If you get a kid a boomerang, expect. A black eye. Yeah, expect that kid to not be happy. I feel like my kid. Hey, boomerang stink. Boomerangs, first of all, from like the 70s. And they never come back at first. They do not come back.

Yeah, no. And if they do, if you finally can get them to come back, they come back like a third of the way and fall down. So, no, don't get a kid a boomerang. That reminds you of your childhood? Well, I'd bought a couple boomerings. I was like, it's going to be awesome. And then you throw, and first of all, you're just like, you're throwing a rock. And you're like, well, crap, I got to walk out there and get it.

And then when you finally understand it, it doesn't come back all the way. And then when you really understand it, it goes back over your head and you got to go chase it again. I really just wanted to ask that question to help my segue into the next story, which is top smells that take us back to our childhood. Mowing grass. That's even a number one, freshly cut grass. The maintenance on golf courses for a long time where I weeded it to mowed. And also I had lawn care businesses as a kid from like 10 up. By a business, I just knocked on doors and said,

Miss Smith, can I mow your yard? So yes, that's a big one. Well, the other ones on the top five, along with the freshly cut grass, pencil shavings, your mother's perfume. Well, no. No? You know what I remember that? Not for me either.

One, my mom didn't wear perfume. Two, no. Yeah. Okay. crowns. You mean crayons? Crayons. Yeah, what? Yeah, go ahead. And certain meals that are being cooked, like if you smell that specific meal.

Like for you, maybe it's the fried chicken or chicken fried steak with gravy. Why do you love that? It's my favorite, but we didn't have it a lot. Oh, okay. Yeah. Boy, this, Amy just like dick and deep today. No, I want you to feel pain. This is the last show of the year, so I need you to feel pain here. Wait, what have I done to make you feel pain? Go ahead.

Okay, well, just a reminder that this weekend, December 19th, 1883 is finally premiering on Paramount Plus. That's the prequel to Yellowstone. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are in it. It's so exciting. Yeah, I'm moderately excited. Yeah, it looks good. I'm three episodes of this season of Yellowstone.

I think I will get into the prequel after I finish this season. Yeah, okay. And it's funny, I like Yellowstone a lot. But following succession, the acting is so corny in Yellowstone. Oh, really? Well, it's kind of corny anyway. Like, with Yellowstone, you have to understand it's kind of corny. They have characters that aren't real.

Right. Yes, but when you put those two right, the juxtaposition between those two, it's like high school theater versus Broadway. Wow, that's interesting. And I was thinking, and Caitlin goes,

are you noticing that these actors kind of look like they're just like junior level compared to the ones? We just watched, and I don't know anything about acting, but yes, you can. But that are we good. I look forward to that.

I think McGraw is a real actor. Yeah, and I've got a clip of Tim talking about working with faith. It took a bit to get to see Margaret and not faith. I mean, it was, you know, it was interesting to do that scene together because we felt like we were giving up a little bit of part of our life. And that scene he's talking about is a bathtub scene.

So he's like, well, now people are basically watching Tim and Faith take a bath. They're married all good. All right, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home there's something good. Amy Hernandez owns a chick-fil-A in Pennsylvania

and she wanted to do something special for her holiday party like people that are working. There's not a lot of employees because of the pandemic. I wanted to get them great gifts. So she bought TVs $1,500 Apple gift cards, and she gave a month's rent to one employee and a brand new Toyota Raff for. Wow.

It just continues to get bigger and better. Yeah, and it was a raffle. So everybody that worked there, by the amount of shift, you work, you got a ticket. And all those tickets go into a bucket. And she'd draw the ticket and those are the winners. What up! And they didn't even have it on a Sunday. Well, of course. They're not going to have it on a Sunday. That's right. And you know what she said after everybody got their gift? My pleasure. Great story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

Is there anything that you've asked for for Christmas or anything that you want? Well, I had a really amazing coffee maker on my list, but then I was like, well, I'll just order it real quick for myself. It already came in. I set it up. It's amazing. Did you thank yourself? I did. Do you wrap it? Yeah. A friend came over to use it the other day, or came over for coffee and ended up using it.

And I was like, she's like, when did you get this? I was like, it's my Christmas present. To myself. To myself. Merry Christmas to me. What about you? You know, I found that I have, I don't, I have a wallet and a phone and key. And I don't need a full backpack

And I don't want to wear a fanny pack So I need something kind of in the middle To put all my crap Like a man purse? No, I don't want a man purse But I've told Kaelin Like I need like a Satchel of something

Like a messenger bag? I don't want that muse boy That's like a... I don't know Yeah I don't want to look like a business purse I don't want a satchel I don't want to flip down

Okay So I just said I need something Because I'm carrying all the stuff all the time And I don't have room in my pockets for it Like I bring a couple waters into work So I've just kind of put that task on her find me something cool that I can put over my shoulder. I don't want to wear it as a fanny pack.

I don't want to wear a fanny pack on my chest. You know, like the crossover. Like cool guys do. I just need, so I think she's on the lookout for that. I mean, I have heard, Chef's Kiss. I got it all done there. That's the one I've got done. But we got some more Christmas shopping to do.

And we'll do our gift giving segment about an hour from now, where we bought a gift for somebody on the show, one person. They can open it. It's a $50 limit. and if they like it, they keep it, if they don't like it, they can go to our pile of gifts that we have here and choose one of them. A little hurtful?

Yeah, it could be fun. Very entertaining. Greatness. But that'll happen in about an hour. All right, let's go over to Amy and get in the morning corny. The morning corny! How does Christmas day end? How does Christmas day end?

With a why. Okay, that's a fake laugh. No, it's not. Christmas Day? What? That's how... I thought that was funny. Huh.

What was funny about it? Nothing. And then you get it. Okay, fine. You looking up another one? Go ahead. Five seconds, so we have to go. Brett Elders is coming up.

Uh-oh. We can't make them wait. Clock's running. Just read whatever you see. Go. Why did no one bid for Rudolph and Blitzin on eBay? Why? Because they were too dear.

What does that even mean? They were two deer Two dear? No way you read that right Why did no one bid For Rudolph and Blitzen on eBay? Why? Because they were two deer That's funnier than another one

Yeah we don't even get it Two deer I don't get it You said you said read the next one you see it I know but I don't get it There's something we're not getting Two deer Two deer

Because they were two deer Bid one bid One why did no one bid for, I'm trying to think of... If you're too dear, you won't bid? Because they're two deer? I don't know. Hey, we're just going to play a song. Oh, that was a disaster.

Have I done the... What do you call the elf that won the lottery? Have I done that? What do you call them? What do you call them? Wealthy. That's good. That's pretty good. Let's end with that. Oh, dang. Okay. On the Bobby Bones show now. Brett Eldridge.

All right, let's address the elephant in the room, Mr. Brett Eldridge. And I don't know if this got back to you or not. And maybe you're upset with me, maybe you're not, I don't know. Were you upset that I revealed that maybe there's not bourbon in your glass every single show and that sometimes you just don't want to drink? On Christmas, actually, there actually is bourbon in my glass. No, I just don't always drink a lot of it. Every show, that glass has bourbon in every Christmas show.

I swear, on that. I'm not saying in the past, I haven't had it where, you know, it wasn't always bourbon. But on Christmas shows, it's bourbon. It really is. You ever got drunk? Like from drinking bourbon. Do you ever get a butt? I don't drink.

Do you ever drink and go, who I should stop because I'm starting to feel it? Oh, yeah, absolutely. And it shows, yeah, it's like if you start feeling a little bit just too loosey-goosey, you just got it, you got to get away from the glass for sure. Brett Eldridge is on with us. His Christmas record is out, and it is amazing. I say the only Christmas records that I listen to are yours and Casey's.

And I think that's it, huh? Dan and Shea's new one's pretty good. Yeah, but I haven't spent any time with it. It's too new. Oh, I've spent some time with it. It's great. But so is Brett's. He's the one on here.

We're starting a feud. Brett Eldridge is on with us. His album, Mr. Christmas is out. And do you record this in Nashville, or do you go somewhere cold? I go to New York City. But I go in the middle of May. So there's not, I mean, because, you know, you know how you have to get all the packaging, and all the photos and all that stuff together

by the time Christmas comes around. So in the middle of May, I was putting on a tux going to the studio, walking down the street in New York. It's quite an interesting experience. But if you can get your mindset to go there, I was in the spirit as much as I could be. Because you are the Christmas guy,

do people expect elevated gifts from you? Like, one, you're big artist. You make a great living. You're a big superstar. And two, you are all about, Christmas. So I'm assuming that when Brett gets Christmas gift, it's got to be a plus. Yeah. And I take that pressure. I don't take it lightly. So I'm always trying to look for something interesting and make it unique and make the packaging nice. I can't wrap for crap. So

I'm not a good rapper. So I don't do the rapping, but I do pick out the gifts and try to find things that that means something and are pretty cool. It's the most expensive gift you ever got somebody. Oh man, I don't even know. That's a good question. Next year. Have an answer for next year. All right.

I was looking at your Instagram and you had posted, and this is not Christmas related, but you had posted a poem basically about mental health, anxiety. How do you decide what's going to be, because that was a poem versus if you're going to, to use that inspiration to make a song like creatively why make it a poem and not a song um that i wrote that like last week or week or two ago that poem and i when i was in boston just kind of having a just down kind of gloomy day you know the this time of year can be tough at times and and so i wrote

that poem and i was um i was like man this just feels relevant to my life right now and just all of us really going through these kind of emotions. I want to get it out there. And it also leads to another song, actually. It has nothing to do with the song, but I have a song that will be coming in the future that has that kind of sentiment to it. And I'm always trying to tackle the subject

of allowing yourself to feel instead of pushing it all away and allow yourself to not be okay and that's okay kind of stuff. And so that's kind of where. I was with it. So if I were to take that poem and make it a song. I actually don't know how that works. That's a really good question. I don't either. If you just write it on Instagram, I mean, you didn't, you know, it's... I mean, that's a great question. I don't know the answer to that, but hopefully, I mean, I'm sure you do a great song. Brett Eldridge, Mr. Christmas is the new Christmas album. There are multiple Christmas album.

So walk me through. You have Mr. Christmas. The last one was called away. Glow was the first one, and then Glow Deluxe, we had like four or five more, and then, and now Mr. Christmas. Are you putting out another one next year? Are you already working on that? I probably won't put out another one next year, but I'll, I might add some stuff to it. I might do some duets or something. I don't know. I haven't really figured that out, but, you know, I plan to do this until I'm, you know, I was doing the Rockefeller tree lighting a couple of years ago when Tony Bennett was in the dressing room. next to me. And he was 93. It was 60 years older than me. I was thinking, oh, my God, he's still singing these songs 60 years older than me. So I could, you know, if I'm fortunate to live that long and do this that long, I could do this for a whole other 60 years. That sounds

insane to me. So, you know, I plan on making more of these big band records. And, and, and so I'm just getting it going. I'd like to propose two business opportunities to you right now. Yeah, okay, okay, Shark Tank. Let's go. before we wrap this up. One, not so much for me, but just for you, just looking out for you. I think for the next album, Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Not bad. I was listening to that the other day.

It's classic. You ever thought about doing that one, or is that a little too kitschy for you? It's a little too kitschy. And you know what the... But the reason is when I heard the other day, that voice, I don't remember who did the song. I'd love to actually know who did this song. But the voice, I mean, you can't top... However, that character of a voice is going on that song, it's just, I'll never be able to do that.

All right. Oh, for one. Okay. The second one actually involves both of us. Okay. You know, we're not going to be young forever. Heck, someone said we already aren't. But that being said, when you mentioned Tony Bennett, and he's an old fella and he's still making music, and he's still alive.

But he has Alzheimer's, right? He's just hanging it up now, but he's had a good run. So when we are into it. our good run, we open up a theater in Branson. I do the jokes. You do the songs. Oh, I like this. And then everyone, it's like country music. Oh, yeah. Residence. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, we love Vegas, but we're going to be old, right? And so, yeah, yeah. But we do comedy and music in Branson and with all of our, all of our people. Just think about that. We get our own, like, giant cabins and we get to eat at the buffet every day for lunch.

See, you're at next level. See, this guy's already thinking about level two. I just want to sing songs and do jokes, and he's like turned this into an empire. Okay, just something to think about. I'll check back on this in 20 years. Okay, good call. You guys check out Mr. Christmas from Brett Eldridge.

Brett, good to talk to you. Good to talk to you, my friend. Y'all take care of. Merry Christmas. All right. Merry Christmas, go back. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. Charity Galloway recently took in a stray dog and named it Butter. She made a shelter next to her house with an electric lamp to keep the dog butter warm. Well, one night the electric lamp sparked and the shelter went up in flames. Butter then ran outside Charity's bedroom

and just started barking like crazy. The barks woke her up and so she gets up and she sees the part of the house then catch on fire. But thanks to Butter, Charity was able to get her two kids out. They got the firefighters there before the house went completely in flames. Firefighters.

were there, but they were like, hey, without this dog kind of warning you about this, you'd have lost everything. So, now they've got butter back to its home, except the butter was named Cooper. Oh. No longer butter. But all of this helped Butter get reunited with the family. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. And so the dog's original owners recognized Butter as Cooper, who ran away over the summer and

has been gone that long. Wow. And now Cooper's back home. And Butter saved a house. He lives two lives. It's a cool story. My dog definitely wants. wouldn't do that.

I thought we just run away. We don't think. No, trust me. I love round him enough to know. All right, that's what it's all about right there. That was tell me something good. You guys ready? Yeah.

We're going to celebrate Christmas here? Yes, sir. Well, every year, in some former fashion, we exchange gifts, and this year we've added a new twist. It is going to be the Christmas gift exchange Mystery Box Edition So we all drew somebody's name We bought them a gift

We will give them the gift They'll open it on the air They'll say what it is And then they can choose To keep the gift Or To go to the mystery boxes Because on the stage here in our studio

There are 10 boxes Inside of those 10 boxes Are everything from Well I don't want to tell you But some of the gifts Are valued at over $50 There's also a wheel up here. I like that one a lot.

On the wheel you can win up to $250. Oh my goodness. There's a $250, there's a $150, there's a $75 and a $25. So we can say a box or wheel or... Inside one of the boxes there's a coupon to spend the wheel. Oh! We all got to spend the wheel. I thought it was going to be like step right up.

Inside the box, inside of one of those boxes there's a coupon to spend the will. And you could win up to $250. Wow. Man, I want that coupon. Yeah. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to take one of these $1.00. Oh, yeah, put another $500.

No. What I'm going to do is I'm going to turn this into two spins. Yeah. So if it lands on this, you get the next two spins added up. I love that. So I guess that could be $500 lunchbox. Let's go. By the way, the company doesn't pay for any of this.

I do. I just want everybody to know. This is great, man. This is just me trying to, you know. For the record. I love Christmas. my people. I love this. All right, up first. Let's just go down the list here. You know what's, Mike D can't go to the boxes and neither can I. Because you guys know. Because we know.

And then let's get also Amy to scuba Steve. Okay. So Mike, you can go and open yours and Amy's getting hers to Scuba Steve. All right. But Mike, you have to keep yours. I will keep mine. Mike D, our head writer on the show, if you hear a game.

Odds are he wrote it. He's got a snowman bag. All right, taking up the wrap in it. We have dinner and a movie dice. Looks like a movie game. Okay. Oh, I thought it's a. And then in the bottom here, it's like a blanket.

Try to unwrap it. It didn't look good at it. Scoba, you can already start unwrapping yours. Okay. It's like a film slate. Oh, it's a film slate blanket. Or a towel. Yeah.

No, but you put it in your mouth. You stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. It doesn't feel like a tongue, though. It's intimate. You can do that without a mouth. It doesn't have to feel like the tongue. It's the process of, like, you know,

helping your soothe your cat, but like with your body. That's right. You like it, Amy, right? I do. Okay, Eddie, you have a hat and some coffee. Would you like to go to the mystery box? where you could have a shot of $500. Bobby, Mike D, I really appreciate your gifts. I think they're so thoughtful and so nice.

You're rubbing it in my face and you're wearing it in the studio. But you've decided to change this hat and you're coffee, and I'll take that coffee too, for

a mystery box. That's right. It's a hard decision, but I made it. And you've chosen number nine? Correct. Eddie, here's a deal I'll give you right now. Oh my goodness. I've got a visa gift card for... It's always a deal. For $47. Now, it was it 50, but I wanted to make sure it worked.

So we spent three bucks this morning? I'll give you this gift card to not go to the box. Oh, man. So the gifts that Mike got me all totaled $50. But you didn't get to choose those. And you're giving me 40. I have a $47 Visa gift card. Bones, I love your offer

but I'm going to pass. Are you sure? Yes. Okay, Eddie go to the box. Come on. Come on. Bobby, you a big Cowboys fan? Nope. Yeah. Wond my butt with this later. Oh my gosh. Eddie. Dang, it's really light. That means you got it. That's the ticket to spin.

It's really like. It was the one I had in my mind. You're right. It could be good. It's really light. It feels like there's nothing in here. That means it's a gift. Oh, it's something. What is it? Really?

No, it's something in the box. Oatmeal crumbles. But. Apple oatmeal crumbles. But that would be here. It's taped. It's not really oatmeal crumbles. Hold it.

Piece of paper that says, Spin the wheel of gas! Let's go! Merry Christmas! I have the worst luck in the world. Eddie, on this wheel. Yeah. There's 75 bucks, $150 bucks, $250.

Oh, that's what I want right there. And there are also some $1 ones. There's also a, two spins, which means if you hit that, you get the next two spins added together. Okay. We're ready? Is there another spin one up there? Is that it?

I'll spin it for him. Ready? Yeah, Bobby's spinning for me. Alright, Bones, when you're ready, dude. Are you ready? When you're ready. Let's spin that wheel! Come on, one dollar.

Come on. Come on. Oh, one dollar. The one space away. That's one away from 250. One dollar, Eddie. Dude, you need to feel my heart right now. Like, it is pounding.

You gave all this way for $1. Oh, that's it? That's right. That's it. It's one spin. Oh, what? You get a dollar. You know what?

Good job. Money's money. I'll take the dollar. Okay, I'll bend moat to you now. You're binmoing a dollar? Yeah. I think the fee is more expensive than that. Amy.

Yes. Oh, that is awful. You have chosen box number five. Yes. Now, I will make you the same deal. Oh. Would you like a $47? gift card? No, I want the box. Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure. Would you like a $47 gift card and maybe a spin on the wheel? Oh! Now he's talking. Is it because 5 is the corn? It's up to you. I don't know. I just like the excitement of the box. She's taking the box. Box number five. She's passed up $47 and a

spin on the wheel. What's it feel like? Is it heavy? She's got box number five. She got a gift card. Something. I don't know what this is. Like there's something. There's something shaking. So it's not a piece of paper. Beauty begins with truth. That's true.

What's true? What's you get? What'd you get? What did you get? What did you get? What is it? They're going to hate me. They're going to hate me.

What did you get? They're just going to hate me. I mean, it is what it is. A hundred dollar gift card. Dang it. It says. It's like the... I don't even want to say it.

Wow. And Merryest Christmas to me. Hey, you know what? As a special Merry Christmas. No, don't even. You can keep your lick thing. Oh, thank you. Because I don't even want to put that my car.

Okay, scuba has given me a picture. And in this picture, there's a shipping cart, and one of the carts is circled, and it says here, which I'm guessing that's where my gift is. Oh, my goodness. I ordered this a long time ago, and there's supply chain demands, 2021. There's a lot of shortage of truckers in the road. road, so unfortunately your gift will come in

next year. Do I get to know what it is? No. I want you to wait until you get it. Because if it were I'm trading it for a box. You don't want to trade it for a box. You're going to get this and it's probably going to be the greatest gift you've gotten in a long time. And nobody else would want it except for you. Nothing Arkansas related.

From an electronics company. Okay, so I'm just going to, okay. What? The calculator. We need to know. Ti-94. Okay. Thank you, Scoob. I have no what I'm thinking you for. You will be.

Cizzing is scissoring it. What's what I'm talking about? Dang him, too. How'd you think I was going to get into this? Now, I had to keep it down. If you're just turning the show on, Ray can either keep the gift

or trade up for one of the boxes on stage. Oh my gosh. Are you serious right now? win too. Abby, you have a gift from Lunchbox and Lunchbox has one from Ray Mundo. Yeah. Okay. You guys go ahead and open your gifts and I'll come to you and we'll figure out what they are. I want you to get them opened. All right. Lunchbox put mine in my own

Ray's got it open. Ray, what you got? Yeah, and it's now in bubble wrap. This is taking a moment. Ray trades in it now without even seeing it.

I'm being very careful with this. This is delicate. Oh my gosh. If it is what I think it is, this is sick. And I'm definitely not turning it in, but I'm still going through the bubble wrap. So hold on me real quick. Lunchbox, what do you have over there?

Lunchbox's got his gift from Ray Mundo. It's very quiet. It's a blue and white box. And it says, Clear Rear, the butler. Oh. So it's a butt cleaner? I'm trying to figure it out.

Oh, it's a bidet. Oh, it's a clean bomb club. It's a clean bomb club? That's what it says. Nature calls clear the rear is the premium answer. What is that? Is it a bidet? It's a bidet.

Okay, lunchbox, you keeping it? Let me tell you, guys. I've been to Vegas. I've used those bidets. But, man, I look at those gifts up there, and I got it. Is there anything over $100 up there? I'm just telling you you have a chance to win up to $500. Whoa, there's more spins.

It's probably going to have. every color. Why would I ever give this up? That is my name. It's on my birth certificate. No, it's not. Are you keeping it? Yeah! All right, Ray's keeping his. Abby, you have a gift from lunchbox. Thank you, Morgan. You're welcome. Can I go straight to the box? I'm just kidding. I'm getting nervous. I don't care.

your singing. You want to get better at singing. I'm trying to look out for it. You want to make a career. You want to get yourself played on the radio. That is going to help you. I mean, actually, it could help. Working your breath control. Okay. Okay, Abby, are you going to keep singing for dummies or go to the box? I'm going to go to a box.

Man. That's heavy. Hold on. Would you like to trade for a $47 gift card and a $50 gift card? Why do you have all these gift cards up there? Man, that's 97. But if you don't take that one, you have to give that one to Abby. And she'll get two gifts.

But she'll get hers and she'll get that. What? She gets two gifts! No! It's what you pay. Oh, no! So you can have $97 in gift cards. Or you can have that gift, but you have to give that exact gift to Abby.

Man, because then it's like going to be a trip to the Bahamas. His mic's not on for some reason, guys. He's just yelling. A trip to the Bahamas. And I'm going to give it to Abby, and I'm going to hate her even more than I do right now. for rejecting my gift. Going once. Going twice.

Oh, I'm excited to see what's in box number four for Abby. And then I knew if I said, hey, at lunchbox, you have to give that to Abby, though, if you lose. I knew I'd reel him right

I'll tell you what, I'll give you a chance to trade that box. You can trade box 10 for what, one, six, and seven, the only ones left.

But why is he doing that? I mean, but one of them's torn. See, the last time he told me I should take 10. He tricked me again. This is your chance. You led me astray. This is, you can either take the spin of the will or you can have one, six, and seven. The other three left. I can have all three of them? Yeah. Man, guys. Oh, that's a tough one.

No, I got a spin. Okay, I got to spin. Go ahead and take that number 10 box. Don't tell me it's something good. In box one was a $20 scratch off inside of a can of corn and a $50 visa gift card. No! No! I avoided it because it was the biggest one. It was obviously the corn. Number six was a kettle. Number seven was corn. Number seven was the corn.

Corn. All right. So lunchbox, you can go and pull that out. You can see the coupon. I got it. It says spin the wheel of cash. Let's go.

Let's turn this mojo around. Get in a better move, guys. So on the wheel of cash, you can win anything from, I mean, you really could win $500. I know. That's why there's a $250,

there's a $1.50, a $75, and a $25. At this point, I want him to win. There's also a lot of ones. Let's go. Are you ready? I'm ready to spend the We'll, baby. Come on.

I mean, that hung on there. Like, is like, oh. I mean, what? Can you make a video of just that? Can we save that from that? Of course I can. Oh, my goodness. Literally just that.

I hate that. That's Christmas. I can't believe that. After all that, you got yourself $1. That is amazing. You got that close. He had every chance. I mean, he was offered like,

$300 in things. He just never took anything. No. See, this is the lesson, Lunchbox. What's the lesson, Amy? Well, let me say this. He bought Abby a mean book. No, no, no, no. No, no. That was not mean. That is a honest attempt to help her improve her singing. Why not get her a book like, learning to sing by Luciano Pavarotti? Tapping into your full potential. Because she's a beginner. She ain't Pavarotti. Okay.

Mike, will you want to give that dollar? There you go, buddy. There's a dollar. Merry Christmas. I hate my life. I mean, I just. You hate your life. You have three healthy children, a beautiful life. This is what happens. Like, nothing good happens to me.

Actually, a lot of good things have happened to you. The lesson for sure, bones, is that greed gets you every time, huh? That's it. And if it doesn't get you immediately, it gets you worse later. There you go. There you go. Bobby goes, I really think you should take 10. I really think you should take 10.

You almost won 250 bucks. I know, but I would have had how much $100? But before we went to the break, you were going to pick two. I know. That you, you. And I took you both directions. Yeah. places, bad places. I was just taking your places.

You were like, I gotta go with my gut. It's gonna be two. My sucker number. And then... I didn't change my number for 22 years. No, I didn't. I didn't. My junior year, I kept my jersey entire year so I could have number two again my senior year. Bobby Boneshow. Bonehead. Norrie of the day. This story comes from Nicholsville,

Kentucky. Police responded to a noise complaining at a house, talking to the homeowner, and he goes, I wasn't make any noise. I was just shooting my gun. And he proceeded to shoot his his gun twice into the couch by the cops were there. I would bet this is a guy too that shouldn't have a gun. Meaning a lot of the times we have gun stories.

They're like, and he also had a felony and was not able to have a gun. Is this saying anything about that? No, but then they did find a marijuana grow operation. See, my point is, it's never just a person who's only dumb thing as a gun. This guy. Usually being dumb with guns is part of a bigger issue. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story the day.

Because we were knee-deep in Christmas festivities this morning, we did not get to the news. But we will get to it now. Let's go. Bobby's Big. Stories. A guy gains more weight drinking alcohol for a week than he did eating KFC for a month. Whoa.

That shows you. That shows you if you're drinking a lot of beer, that's worse than eating a lot of bad food. Connor Visser, the founder of I Can. I will, an organization that uses celebrities and influencers to promote mental health is doing experiments on his own body to test weight and the health impacts. And so he ate nothing but food for KFC for a month. He gained about two pounds every three and a half days. However, he drank a minimum of eight to 12 drinks every day.

And after seven days, he's already put on more weight than he did for that entire month of KFC. Tell me about eight to 12 drinks. What does that mean? That's a lot. That's a lot. I don't, I'd pass out for sure. Yeah, I don't do that anymore. This is a drink to me.

No, I think he means actual drinks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like a whole beer. If it was 8 to 12 gulps, he'd be fine. So eight beers a day? Yeah. Could you guys pull that off? Uh-uh.

No way, man. It's so gross. We got families. Yeah. Could you back in the day day? Yeah, totally. Every day, though. Every day.

Probably. Hobby Lobby will offer full-time pay of $18. $0.50 per hour to its employees, beginning January 1st, 2022. In addition to the 1850, Hobby Lobby will continue to offer, and they list a lot of benefits as well. This is from Fox Business,

but I looked it up. When I worked with Hobby Lobby, $6.15 an hour. Oh, wow. Yeah, I worked my way up to $6.15 an hour because I was pretty good at my job. Although I wasn't there, I worked probably four to five days a week,

but my schedule was a little weird because I was also playing Legion baseball. So I was traveling playing baseball. but they were very accommodated in my schedule. So any day I didn't travel and play ball, I worked. So still five or six days, probably four to five days. But there were some weeks where I didn't work at all, and some weeks where I didn't take a day off.

It's nice of them. You know, me, always on the grind. But when I worked my way to the register, living life. What was minimum back then? Like four? No idea. I don't know.

You know what? Me? I didn't even look at this. I just worked hard. Looked at the check when I got it. I knew I was putting in my hours. And I was going to end up making more money if I just worked hard. Another FedEx driver has been accused of dumping packages

that were supposed to be delivered to customers. Oh my goodness. Don Trail Weaver has been slapped with larceny and littering charges after a witness saw him pulled to the side of the road and then do a dozen packages in the woods. Fortunately, another driver was able to recover the packages and get them to their final destinations. Over 70 to be exact.

What? FedEx says this kind of behavior is unacceptable. From W-L-O-S. And are you already making excuses? 59% of Americans think New Year's resolutions will be harder to keep in 2022 than 2021. More than two-thirds of Americans plan to spin less on New Year's this year than last year. 81% of Americans, that just goes on to a bunch of stats.

I don't give a crap about it. But I will say, here's my tip about New Year's. Everybody wants to make a resolution because there is a break and it's a reset, right? And do we stick with them for a whole year? No. But even if you do it for a little bit, right? That's good. That's good. But here's what I would recommend.

make your New Year's resolution to January 31st. That's the end of it. And if you get to that point, you should celebrate that like I did it. And if you get to that point, you feel good about it, then you can roll it over to another month. But you never accomplish anything big by making your only goal, that end goal. You've got to, not just resolutions, anything you want to do, run a marathon, move up at Hobby Lobby, anything you want to do, you have to set tiny goals to make big things happen.

When I run, I hate running. And I don't even run right now. But when I do run, I've done a couple triathlons of, you know, sometimes I run around 10 miles once. And for me, that's forever. But I couldn't run a mile at a time. I had to run tree to tree or tree to stop sign. Because if I'm like, I have to run three miles from here, I would be disheartened. I'd be like, this stinks.

I'm never going to make it. But when I'd see that tree, I could run to that tree. Set that date for January 31st. And then if you finish it and you feel good, great. You don't have to do it anymore. But if you do want to keep going, keep going. Also, here's the resolution you should make before New Year's. watch me on New Year's Eve night on CBS hosting Nashville's New Year's Eve.

We can do that. That's when you can accomplish. Turn it on. Easy. Yes. All right, that's the news. Thank you. That's right.
