In 2023, Bachelor star Clayton Eckerd was accused of fathering twins,
but the pregnancy appeared to be a hoax.
You doctored this particular test twice in so much, correct?
I doctored the test once.
It took an army of internet detectives to uncover a disturbing pattern.
Two more men who'd been through the same thing.
Greg Gillespie and Michael Mancini.
My mind was blown.

they've all dated the same prolific con artist,
they take matters into their own hands.
I vowed, I will be his last target.

He's going to get what he deserves.

My next guest, it's Will Ferrell.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
He goes, just give it a shot.
But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore,
it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down,
it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know,
the cat, just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.

Thursday show, morning studio.
Morning!
All right, let's go around the room and check in with everybody.
If you're out there listening,
thank you for listening.
I hope you're having a great morning.
Unless you're listening on podcasts,
Then I hope you're having a great midday or afternoon or night.
Eddie's at first.
He's been going to training camps of football teams.
And this year, his team still won't be the champs.
Lauren writes these, dude.
She hates the cowboys.
I don't know if she makes fun of the cowboys or your bald head, everyone.
Okay.
All right, here he is.
Eddie!
Look, guys, I'm not bragging, but I think I'm more famous than lunchbox.
Oh.
I'm telling you, I'm not bragging.
It just is a fact.
Reaction to that lunchbox.
Go ahead and keep dreaming, dude.
Go ahead.
So it was my son.
birthday last week. So I said, you know
what? I'm going to bring you some lunch.
So we picked up some subway. We went
over to lunch. We sat in the cafeteria.
And I'm telling you, there
was a line of probably 10 kids
wanting my autograph. I mean,
they were ripping up napkins with pencils
like, producer Eddie, can I get your autograph?
At one point, I had to say, guys,
you brought this up, though, it's a little cringe,
as they would say. The fact that you brought it up
so you signed 10 autographs?
I'm just telling you what happened.
Yeah. But I mean, they want autographs?
But you're like, I'm more famous on lunchbox?
Is that part to me, he's like, well, because I knew it was making mad.
Okay, so that's the reason I removed the cringe tag.
Of course, it's to make him married.
Okay, okay, okay.
And my question is, lunchbox, you ever gone to your kid's daycare and have they asked you for autographs?
Dude, my kid is three and one.
They don't know what radio is.
They're kids.
I went to my niece's school and the lady at the front office almost choked on her breakfast.
What happened?
Did you hit her?
No, I was going to have lunch with my niece, Kennedy.
and I walk in the front office and lady goes,
can I help?
Oh my God.
You almost killed somebody with your fame?
What did you do?
She almost choked on her breakfast.
Wow.
And my wife had to say, can you swallow your breakfast, please?
And she was like, oh my God, Cindy, come here.
Cindy, come here.
And they flipped out.
I mean, it was like the Beatles had walked in.
Wow.
But just to the receptionist.
Yeah, I almost, you had a bunch of kids that are like eight.
That's what was weird.
Like, eight-year-old, nine-year-old.
They knew who they just saw one person freak out and then they're like, well, I think we should get some guys off the guy.
Maybe. Maybe he's a. Even one of my son's friends who I coached this.
Or his son paid his kid to give him $10. Hey, when I show up, go up and act like my dad's famous.
Man, that ain't going to happen. I didn't do that. I didn't do that. Finish your story there. What were saying?
I said one of the kid, one of my son's friends who I coached in basketball, he was telling the whole line like, hey, he was, he was my basketball coach. Yeah.
Did it make you feel good?
No. It actually. Did it make you feel good that your kid maybe thought you were cool?
because of that and not my dad is a loser.
He had a big smile on his face.
That's cool. So that's cool.
That was cool. But then he said too, like,
remember, it's my birthday. I'm like, you're right, you're right.
No more autographs, please. I had to stop the line.
I'm so like, I don't understand how I feel right now.
It was weird.
No, no, this is this whole thing brought out because it's weird to bring it up.
And I'm like, that's what a losery thing to bring up.
No offense.
But also, if you're only doing it because to irritate lunchbox, that's hilarious and it's not
losery at all.
I think I did irritate him, though.
No, I mean, I can just go over the examples in last week.
just, I mean, I was on the shuttle at the airport and there was a guy and a girl and they were like,
I think that's him.
And she was like, no, how crazy would that be?
And the guy pulls up his phone.
He's like, look, that's him.
And she was like, that's no way.
We're going to have to listen to the show.
Like that, are you sure?
And I was like, I was just sitting there like, yep, they know it's me.
Okay.
They were intimidated to say anything, but they were looking at pictures on their phone to make sure it was me.
You too, just a battle of fame over there.
The kids at the school knew it was me.
Lights can't shine bright enough for you too, you know what I mean?
Wow.
You call the scene anywhere and he rides his bike everywhere.
Here you is lunchbox.
I found out, guys, that I might have been a water buffalo back in the day.
In my past life, I don't know, but for some reason...
Do you believe in past lives?
Not really, but we were at the zoo in Colorado and their water buffaloes were all the way on the other side of the pin,
laying down in the shade, all of them.
and I just start going,
and they all stand up.
Why should you were making it a noise?
Like you were their god?
Exactly.
Like I was their god, I was calling them,
and they come meandering over to me.
So you think you know that
that is somehow inside of you
because maybe you were a water buffalo before?
That's what they sound like?
Amy, I don't know.
He never even heard one, but he knew how to talk to them.
I knew how to talk to them.
And you guys, listen, here's me at the zoo.
That's
Talking to you
Where are you though?
I was the first person
No way
I thought that was a buffalo
That was me
Hold on
Let me hear it again
He might have been a buffalo
Everybody
Play again
Dude you're
That
You were a water buffalo or something
It's talking to you
That sounds like a real buffalo
That's you
That's you?
Yes
You got that guy to come all the way over here
You finally found your talent
Your skill
That's his thing
That's it
It was so crazy
It's like whenever
Joey's hand
is an exact hand replica
and the guy in Vegas.
And he's like, we're hand twins.
And he's like, yeah.
So he goes, no, this is,
we're going to make a lot of money doing this.
He is a water buffalo impressionist.
Wow.
It was crazy.
I mean, he came all the way over to,
and it was just so like.
Did you make love?
No, no, we're going to make love.
But I felt like that guy
on my octopus teacher, you know what I mean?
How you know, like,
we thought they were going to make love.
Wow.
That's cool, though.
I like, you do sound like,
that's a good job.
That's good.
Can he do it live here?
You have to ask the man
Yeah
His own talent
Hold on
I gotta be in the mood
I don't know
We're prepared
For a bunch of
To do what?
No no
I was just
I saw them
And they were laying down
The wall
Start crumbling
Because water buffalo
Are coming
From all over the land
Go ahead
MIR
It's pretty good
It's early in the morning
You know
It's off strong
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
But here
I listen to it again
No no
No no we're good
Wait
Hit it
I know
That's good
That's good
That's good
All right
That's good
All right moving on
She owns
A lot of pair of boots
And her sister
Has a show
called Building Roots. Here's Amy.
Oh, which the season premiere
is this month on the 17th.
And then I'm, no one cares.
My episode's on September 24th.
Oh, cool. The Sunday we go out from my heart.
On HGTV.
That's cool. They're doing a whole episode from Nashville.
What time is it?
Oh, busy.
It doesn't matter what time it is.
I thought it was going to rock her.
I thought it was going to the rocker.
Yeah. All right.
So, I'm just feeling a little sore because I had a
major slip at my house.
I was running with weights because I was excited.
I found them.
My friend was over, Gracie.
We were working out.
Running to show them there.
Look what I found.
We had already started the workout and we needed little hand weights and ankle weights and I couldn't find them.
And I was like, wait, I know where they are.
So I run to get them and I run back and I'm like, never give up.
Never give up.
And then I slide on a mat that we had laid down on the hardwoods because normally we're on the floor.
You slept like a pratfall?
Yeah.
Like it was like a banana peel.
Three stooges?
Yes.
Like my feet were like roo-r-r-r-r.
And then the.
Matt just slid and it was, luckily, I had to see my chiropractor after and he said that I'm very lucky I was carrying the weights because it kept me from putting my instinctually, you put your arm down to catch yourself and he goes, that's normally how people hurt themselves.
Or your wrist or it jams the shoulder back up in there.
Think about you having a date with a broken wrist.
Oh, my, I'm Amy.
Right, I know.
But the ankle weight and the other hand flew up and when I landed on the ground, it landed on my face.
It was right here on my like around my orbital bone.
I was Googling it to, yeah.
I was so scared I was going to have a black eye, but we're good.
And I'm sore.
I am sore and very tender, but I got adjusted.
My shoulders were uneven.
Like when I stood up, my left shoulder was way higher.
But all this to say, if you fall, try not to stick your hand down.
That's instinctual.
I know.
But like they say, if you're in a car wreck, like be a loose.
Yeah, exactly.
How do you do that?
You don't?
You tighten up.
That's what humans do.
Don't they say that people that are intoxicated have a better chance of survival because they're loose?
What was your friend's name?
It doesn't matter what your friend's name is.
All right, Ray, go ahead.
From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, he uses a Sharpie to black things out.
And if he messes up, he'll pal.
Bobby Bones.
Thank you.
That's true.
I'm pivoting.
I'm calling an audible.
Blue 13, Blue 13.
Audible on my story this morning.
I just got a DM that I'm going to read here on the air.
Come on.
So my other thing was about a song.
I'll get to it tomorrow, Monday, Tuesday.
This is from Next Level Travel Advisor.
Yes.
Stop it.
On Instagram.
So this is the guy that messaged Ray and said, hey, I'll send you on a trip.
All you got to do is post about me, whatever.
He wrote this.
Hey, Bobby, thanks for the segment today.
Sorry, I didn't reach out to you.
If you needed anything, hit me up.
By the way, I don't.
did not ask for Ray's social security number.
We don't need that.
Clickbait.
Ray went on a whole thing and then we followed him into the cave.
Because that was the scam that we were worried about.
And we're like, why would you give your social?
And he's like, we never asked for that.
I mean, I'm pretty sure we did.
Our passport number, something very important.
Okay, but there's a big difference.
So if you have to go, like if you have to use your passport and put the documentation down.
I believe it was that.
No, no, you said social security number.
I mean, they're all the same.
They're not the same.
A picture of your passport and your social, Eddie?
But they're not the same.
No, different.
I would say a picture of your ID is more important than your social.
I mean, am I an idiot?
Yes.
Yeah, you're pretty much an idiot.
Your social is like your one.
Okay, I'll give it on the air.
Let me know what happens to me.
All right, do it.
Go ahead.
Please.
Greatest bit ever.
Wait, did it?
Oh, my God.
If you did that as a bit, employ the month for six months.
Come on, right.
Life luck.
I think they're all.
equal. I mean, I'm sorry I didn't get the exact
one, correct? But I guess his point is...
So would you rather give your driver's license number out?
Drive license all day. Every day. Every day.
Yeah, take it. Don't give all your social.
I'd rather give my home address than my social.
I'd rather send a nude to everybody in the mirror show.
Hey, Ray, but anyway, he did not ask for a security number.
So I just want to cover his base.
My bad on the semantics. No, not semantics.
Big difference. Yes.
When you're talking about, like, a company.
Yeah. So he's not going to give it out?
On the air? I don't know.
That's a fun.
be the funniest bit ever. Even if you gave
it out, like, unorganized.
We had to, like, figure that in order. There's so many combinations.
Yeah, who cares? Yeah, that's tough. Who cares?
But, no, it's like, price is right. Only one, only two of the numbers
are mixed up. Oh. Okay.
Next level, travel guy.
He replied back to me and said that they're going to Alaska in two weeks on
Princess, which is the name of a boat. You tell me you're busy?
No, but he said that he knows my sister.
and I've always been talking about going on Alaska and cruise and he's got a lot of different
companies.
We don't do ads for this guy.
No, no, I know.
I'm talking to our listeners.
This is not a, this is just us talking about, we thought Ray was getting scammed and then
Ray said, I gave him a social and we're like, you got scammed.
But now we're all going to go.
That you did not, he did not ask for your social.
No, but I mean, we're building him up.
He's a pretty big business right now.
Ray's like, I don't know my age or my social.
I don't remember what he asked.
Same thing.
Yeah, same.
They're numbers.
All right.
But like if he says I can go, can I?
No.
What?
Can I go? No, I'm not your dad and no, we have to work.
Next summer. Next summer.
Yeah, dad. Okay, if John says it's okay to stay home, can I...
No, no.
All right, that's it. Thank you.
Let's open up the mail bag.
You send an email and we read it all the air.
It's something we call Bobby's mail bag, yeah.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
My girlfriend and I just moved into a new apartment.
On the day we moved in, our downstairs neighbor stopped us on our way in and ranted
about how awful the previous tenant was
and how they made life
living very difficult for him.
We unfortunately gave him our number
and told him to text us if he had about a problem.
Big mistake, he sends us messages every day
complaining about the noise
or our parking job or our guests
or anything he could think of to complain about.
It's gotten to the point of harassment.
We don't know what to do about it.
We've told the landlord,
he suggested we change our phone number
and ignore him, but that's not really an option.
What should we do?
We are being reasonable.
We're trying to be good neighbors,
but this guy's obviously suffering
from some issues. Signed, harassed neighbor. I knew at the beginning of this when that neighbor was
complaining, he was just a complainer. I felt like a, um, there's really nothing, you can do two things.
One, you can ignore or two, you can get back at him. Oh, yeah, no. But that's it. Those are the two
options. But then you, this is like, this is your home. Getting back at him is only creating more drama.
But also, if, if it's to the level of harassment, I'm right. Yeah, he says that.
It's gone to the point of harassment.
I get it.
It's probably annoying as crap.
You can move.
But again, you're letting him dictate your actions.
I would just ignore him.
Yeah, you ignore it and then it goes away.
Yeah.
Because maybe he's looking for attention.
Even if it doesn't go away, I'm still ignoring it.
Oh, get a new number.
Absolutely.
You can do that.
Ignore it that way.
But I just ignore it.
You're not doing anything wrong.
As you can see, the common denominator is this neighbor that sucks.
Which is a real bummer because you could, they could, you could have gotten the other end of it and had such an amazing neighbor experience.
Like, I'm jealous of some of my friends that have amazing neighbors.
I do, I have some great ones.
Don't get me wrong.
But, I mean, they're the same age.
They have all kids the same age.
They all, it's so easy.
They all hang out.
Kids are running in and out.
I don't have that in my neighborhood necessarily.
And I, some people do.
And it's like, I want to move to one of those neighborhoods purposefully.
You can always write a message on a brick.
And throw it in the window.
No.
But be generic.
I'm like, there's more where that comes.
Just try to create a relationship.
Maybe you create that good relationship with him.
I haven't a relationship with a dude.
Maybe he needs love.
Ain't getting it from me.
I don't have time to go and raise some dude from childhood.
Yeah.
That's basically what he is.
Intellectual.
There's a seven-year-old emotionally, intellectually.
What's that movie called?
Man-Called Otto?
Michael Buck.
Man called Otto.
Tom Hayes?
I never saw it.
Kind of like that where, like, he's just a moody, moody, but they showed him grace
and they ended up being really close to everyone.
Yeah, good point.
I cried a lot.
Well, then watch the documentary a man called Otto.
That's a movie, man.
I would just ignore it, honestly.
He's never going to be happy.
I would give him love.
Taking the church.
Thank you.
That's the mailbag.
We've got your email and we close Bobby's mail bag.
That's what they call it.
Dad Rock.
Dad Rock, the definition from the Oxford Dictionary,
rock music that appeals to an older generation
or that is heavily in.
influenced by that of an earlier era.
So there's classic rock and we were younger.
And now there's dad rock that we listened to.
So it's, are these bands already dad rock?
I'll list you the band.
I want you know about it.
Dad rock yes or no.
Number one, Lincoln Park.
No, they still rock.
Here's numb.
You can still rock.
But people that are 23.
Definitely dad, dad rock.
Right?
Like, are mostly just dads enjoying how it usually.
because they're not a lot.
I'm thinking if the kids are still listening to this.
They do.
They're not.
Oh, man.
They're not listening to this?
And it's even more dad to be in denial that it's not dad.
That's really dad.
So in lunchbox, you go no?
No.
I go dad rock.
Dad.
Sadly, yes.
How about Fall Out Boy?
Sugar, we're going down.
Oh, no.
Here we go.
Fallout boy, Dad Rock?
Dad.
Dad Rock.
No, man.
They're still kids.
Pete Wentz, right?
They're not kids.
However, they're still putting.
out songs on pop radio that are hits.
They have a song. They did
We didn't start the fire.
It was all with the...
Yeah, they did a whole new version of it that came out like
three weeks ago.
Okay. With different lyrics. And it's pop
music, that's what the kids are listening to.
So, but that is getting played.
So let's go. I don't even know if we have that, right?
Do we have their version of that? We insert the fire?
It was a
Lucy Lucy Jews, Matt. Everybody
gets that. You know that song?
Yeah, yeah.
Come on. I want dance down.
I know the original one.
Yeah, I don't know.
The new one I just heard once, and I was like, that sucks.
But they did a new version of like the last couple of years.
Okay.
Okay.
So what do you think?
No, because they're still making...
Boom.
Yeah, they're still making music.
How about some 41, end too deep.
Come on, I'm going to go pure dad rock.
Pure.
It gets no purer because they're not doing anything anymore.
The only version of them that exists is whenever dads now were young then.
Amy?
Dad.
Eddie?
I'm pretty sure.
I play this in the Jeep with my kids and they're like, what is this crap, Dad, Dad Rock.
100% it takes me back to like American Pie Days. That's Dad Rock.
How about System of a Down?
Yes or no.
Amy.
Dad.
This is me denying it. Oh, no.
Yeah, I can't deny it.
It's Dad Rock. I hate to say it's down. Dad Rock.
You?
I think it's Dad Rock.
Dad Rock. I don't even know who that is.
System of a Down? No.
I think I've heard that song maybe, but I'm...
It's like Rage Against the Machine.
And I didn't pull a clip up, but is raging against the machine?
Not Dad Rock? No.
She's like one of the greatest bands of all time.
And you're not a dad?
Like, Zach Delaroca, one of the greatest rock singers ever.
Yeah, come on.
Come with it now.
Bulls all parade!
I feel like you're going Uncle Rico on rock.
That's dad rock.
No, we're going to add on dad rock.
Okay, my chemical romance.
What you got?
Dad.
Dad rock, man.
Dad rock.
You know, I'm not even a classified as dad rock.
They have much rockier, harder things like when they started.
It's dad pop.
Oh.
Okay, but still dad.
Oh, I just offended Mike D who's a punk.
Come on over, Mike D.
Go ahead.
You're offended at what?
This is like all my music.
741, my chemical romance, Blinkin 82.
Yeah, but is it dad rock?
I don't have kids.
Am I, do I listen to Dad Rock?
But you don't have kids to be a dad rock.
It's like Millennial Rock.
Mm-hmm.
How about Dad Pop?
You feel like My Chemical Romance is more Dad Pop than Dad Rock?
I would say more Dad Pop.
Okay, well
Is that it?
No, there's like 100, but I'm tired of feeling sad
I'm be honest with you.
Yeah, me too.
Because this stuff like
three days of grace
I, hey, everything about you.
Remember that one?
Yeah, I remember that.
Or like Muse.
Oh, Muse.
That's not Dad Rock.
I think it is.
Deftones, that's harder, but still.
Like Morgan Deftones,
you know, ever heard anything?
No.
Not even a little bit.
Yeah.
This is like our workout playlist, man.
You tell me we're working out to Dad Rock.
Oh, no.
Dad Vod.
I hate me right now.
This is Fallout Boy, and this is their song.
What's it called?
We didn't start the fire.
Same name.
So, Billy Joel covered.
Yeah, but changed.
It's a fine line between totally goofy and fun.
I think it falls on fun.
Interesting.
It is.
It's fun.
First you're like, oh, I don't know, because I like the old version, too.
So what were the old version versus?
The 80s stuff.
We play that right?
Okay.
So it's like 80s stuff.
I like it.
I do too.
And at first I was like, oh, don't do it, don't do it.
Oh, no.
Hey, he said Tiger Woods in there.
Yeah.
Fukushima Japan.
Yeah, that's pretty cool, dude.
I like that.
You hadn't heard it though, huh?
Uh-uh, never heard that.
Me neither.
I like it.
So I'm not going to classify them as dad rock.
Yeah, because they have a new song.
Current rock that as soon as they're done, though, goes immediately to dad rock.
Okay.
It's time for the good.
news.
So there's a gas station clerk in Kansas City, Missouri.
He's sitting behind the desk, the counter, and he's like checking people out.
He sees an old man walk in.
He's got a lot of money in his hand, and he's on the phone.
He goes over to this Bitcoin machine.
It's almost like an ATM machine.
And he walks up there, and he's like, okay, put 100 in?
Yeah, he puts 100 in.
He's talking to the person on the phone.
He's putting $100 bills over and over.
So when the clerk goes, this, something's not right.
He calls the police.
The police get there.
Turns out he's on the phone with a scammer,
and the scammer's telling him to deposit more money into the machine.
So the cops get the phone, start talking to the scammer.
Scammer freaks out, hangs up.
They get a hold of the old man's daughter.
Yes.
Turns out he had already given thousands of dollars to that scammer.
But he had more money in his hand that he was going to give.
And it wasn't for that clerk kind of looking out for the old man.
I guess it could have been way worse.
I just heard there's a Bitcoin machine somewhere.
I didn't go get in it.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
I mean, I've seen them on, I've seen them before.
Like, I've seen them on the internet where you go, it's like putting in and getting stuff
out like at the chips.
Yeah, it's like cashing out your Bitcoin over there.
It's good for that guy.
Got guy working there.
That was terrible.
Was aware, help to do.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.

You doctored this particular test twice in so-ins, correct?
I doctored the test once.
It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case.
I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for.

Let's go over and talk to Lauren in Oklahoma. Hey, Lauren, good morning.
Good morning.
Hey, so you're in Oklahoma.
That is the home of Sonic.
Did you know that, Lauren?
Actually, when I was in sixth grade, we kind of prank called Sonic to ask them where they got the name.
And I guess they came from the Sonic Boom.
I didn't know that.
That's a weird prank call, though.
And how about an educational prank call?
They wanted to learn something.
These are the kind of kids I like that they're calling places going, excuse me, Dairy Queen.
Tell me about the Queen of Versailles.
What?
So here's the thing.
I'm going to give you a chance to want a $50, something.
at gift card right now. We're going to play the Bobby feud.
Pick Amy, Lunchbox, or Eddie, to play for you.
Lauren, any of those three?
Oh, my goodness.
All right. I'm sorry,
lunchbox. We're going to go with Eddie.
All right, Eddie. Let's go.
You're representing her?
You're going to go hungry.
We rolled the dice, and Eddie will go first as well.
The category is, according
to the new Harris poll. These are the most
polarizing foods in America that Americans
hate.
Solarize.
Americans hate.
This food.
What are they? Talk 10 answers on the board.
I don't even understand.
Eddie, you're up.
I'm going to go with olives.
What's food?
Do Americans hate them?
Number one.
Show me olives.
Number eight answer is olives.
Gosh, I should save that one.
That's eight points.
I think Americans hate ranch dressing.
Ranch dressing.
Show it to me.
Had Amy over to you.
Sardines?
Show me.
Sardines.
Lunchbox, what food do Americans hate?
Tomatoes.
Tomatoes.
Oh, boy.
Those games impossible.
I love tomatoes.
Well, yeah, but it's polarizing.
Some people love them, some people hate them, right?
No, I said hate.
That question is what the food of America's hate.
My wife loves olives.
Not everybody.
Why are you yelling?
Yeah, what's because you don't understand something.
No, no, that's what I'm saying.
He's like, well, I love tomatoes.
Like, well, my wife loves olives.
I love olives, too.
Yeah.
Oh, got it.
Go ahead, Eddie.
Americans hate what?
Give me onions, bones.
But people love onions.
It's polarizing.
I hate onions.
That's what I'm talking about.
But I love onions.
I hate.
But that's not the point.
It's just Americans.
Most Americans hate them.
You have a yellow card.
Lunchbox is now yellow carded.
Show me onions.
I think onions are pretty loved.
Really?
Because I hate them so much.
And everybody's like, you're stupid and ugly.
Amy?
So do I.
Show me a game.
Okay, we don't get it.
Whatever's happening, we don't get it.
I think I got it.
Lunchbox, what food do Americans hate?
Spam.
I like spam.
Show me spam.
Eddie?
Triple the points.
Triple points.
Give me mustard.
Is that a food?
That's a custard.
That's a custard.
I'm going to win with eight points.
Amy?
There you are.
You're going to be the only one to get one right.
Bologna.
Show me.
Bologna.
Lunch box?
Mushrooms.
Oh, that's a good one.
Joe mushrooms.
For two points.
No, that's a lot.
That's the third round.
Okay.
What's two times three?
Two times three, Dumbo.
What's two times?
Eddie has eight points.
No way.
That's only the second answer.
What's two times three?
There's no way.
Do the math.
Hey, you've already got a yellow card.
He's about to get red carded for sure.
I keep arguing.
But keep going.
Guess another one.
No, argue this.
This is good.
Two times three is six.
I'm going to need to see the list.
Go ahead.
Is that possible to see the list?
No.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm not sure about that.
Oh, it's easier.
If you're a vegetarian, you know what you hate?
No, that's too many, that's not enough Americans that are vegetarian.
Me?
Yeah, I was going to say that.
Let's see.
Mushroom.
No, you didn't give me a timer.
No, you did not count me down.
It took a 70 seconds.
Ray buzz you.
No, no, no, stop.
You didn't do any countdown.
There was no countdown.
That is not absolutely fair.
Now we're doing quadruple points.
Nobody got to know.
We got to do another round.
You can't just take my turn away.
You didn't count down.
Okay, three seconds.
Steak.
Americans hate steak?
Me too.
Candy.
We're going to quadruple points.
Eddie, I'm just not going to let you win because nobody got anything.
So if you quadruple points for this one, go ahead.
This is crazy.
Let's see.
It's got to be a veggie.
There are eight answers still left on the board.
Americans hate what foods.
Go.
Bones, give me.
Cabbage
They hate cabbage
Cabbage is terrible
I don't think about cabbage much
Because you hate it
Show me cabbage
Amy
Hot dog
Hot dogs
Lunchbox
Yeah it's polarizing
Oysters
They taste like boogers
Show them
For the win
Oysters, boogers
They are boogers
I had some
They taste like boogers
They're not boogers
Are you picking boogers or oysters?
Oysters
Because boogers is not a food
Show them oysters.
You tried to take it away, and I still came back and took it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Scova, is he on something?
Hey, how's that lady taste now?
Hey, I told you you're going hungry.
Hungry, hungry, hungry.
Hey, Lauren, Lauren, hold on.
And I can't let Eddie win, but the real rules, you would have won.
Correct.
So you do get the gift card, Lauren.
But Eddie, you don't win.
That's okay.
It's all about Lauren.
Because if I would have played by the rules, Eddie would have.
one, but I just don't want to let the game retire with only
I get it. What else is on the list, please?
Yeah, anchovies one, that's two.
Black licorice, black licorice.
Antobies one, though. Sardines and anchovies are not
the same thing? They're not? I don't know what anchovies are.
Okay, anchovies. I think it's a fish.
Black liquorish. Yeah, it's a little fish.
Oysters.
Boom! Beats.
What I thought about those? Brussels.
Okra.
What's got it open?
Blue cheese.
I don't know what that means.
What?
How do you know the blue cheeses?
You don't know what blue cheeses?
Steak.
How do you...
Coconut is the...
No, no, no, blue cheese.
You said you don't know what that...
It's just a cheese, huh?
I don't... I've never had it, I guess.
Blue cheese?
It's got like blue in it.
Like when you get wings?
It's white, blue and green.
You get like either ranch or blue cheese or red.
Oh, I don't ever get dipping sauce.
But it's also a cheese.
It's not...
That's a dressing.
But there's blue cheese.
Like, when I eat my wings, I just eat my wings.
I don't.
dip many things. But they bring sauce with it.
They ask you if they want ranch and I'm like, no, I'm good.
But I've never had a bite of blue cheese,
I don't think. I don't know what I'm...
Well, Lauren, you're going to get this.
Okay. So you're going to get the prize.
Stay on the phone, please, too as well.
She's like, what's happened? I know. I feel that way too.
I feel like this show is drunk right now.
Lunchbox wins. Lauren wins. Everybody wins.
Yeah, let's play that song!
Didn't you already play it?
No, we didn't play it, me. Except all the listeners.
The listeners did not learn.
All right, go ahead.
Shout out to the oyster house in Boston.
I had some oysters.
They were terrible.
And they stay there.
And they stay there.
Not saying their place was terrible.
I just don't get oysters.
Why are you like giving somebody reviews on yel?
No, no.
I just don't get oysters.
The restaurant was great.
Their clam chowder, it was, mm.
Delicious.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
This guy's on something today.
We had Lauren on in the last segment.
She won.
We all lost, but she won the game.
She lost.
Lauren lives in Oklahoma.
Hey, Lauren, so you were calling us to actually talk about your anniversary, right?
How long have you been married?
11 years on Friday.
Okay, congratulations.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
I'll be married at third of my life.
Good for you.
That's see you third and three.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you got married 22.
Do you feel like that was a good time to get married, a good age to get married?
No.
I wouldn't recommend it.
But technically on paper, like when you sign the, I almost said that certificate.
The marriage you should have your age.
Yeah.
And I had to sign it as 21 because it was two days before my 22nd birthday.
So my husband always thinks that he just has to give me one gift.
And I'm like, no, you have to come up with two.
Got it.
Yeah, birthday and anniversary.
Yeah.
So what is your, what is your question about being married or what advice are you looking for or going to give?
So I guess, is that lunchbox at like eight years now?
Oh, okay.
kind of up there. Maybe is it seven?
Eddie is actually
18. I just celebrated 18
last week. Eddie just talked about 18 years.
That's crazy. Wow.
She asked a question about me. Let's not make it about it.
18 years, though. She was asking who was the most.
No, she said, what is lunchbox at? She didn't say anything about
Eddie. Lauren.
So the question is for
Eddie and Amy just because
how long they have or had
been there. No, Amy's divorced. Let her talk.
Just let her go. Just let her go.
Let her talk. Go ahead.
What year for y'all was the hardest?
Like they say the first year's the hardest or the seven-year itch or like 10-year.
That's a tough question.
That's really hard.
I know Bobby doesn't really take to what the norms are, so it may not affect you.
But it can maybe help other people to be like, hey, you can still get through the seven-year itch or you can still get through that 10-year home for.
Let me ask this in a healthier way instead of what year was the hardest.
Sounds like she's having a rough year this year.
Well, it sounds like she's just at 11.
she's like, okay, I don't want it to go in a bad way or I don't want it to just be like we're going through emotions.
So what can we do?
So then the question I'm going to ask is I feel like what she wants to know is what is something you have to overcome because you get into your pattern so much.
You stop paying attention to some of the romantic priorities.
Like what what can she do to reprioritize herself and her marriage?
Okay.
I think that's a good question.
The other way, we're all going to get murdered.
We're all going to get in trouble.
Yes.
So, Amy, what is your answer to this?
So our marriage timeline is a little different because Ben was in the Air Force and was gone half the year all the time.
And then some of ours was circumstantial.
I think after he got out of the military, quite honestly, that was a huge shift for our family and his identity.
and I mean, he would even speak to this,
but I also didn't know how to support that.
I didn't recognize certain things that were happening.
And then so that ours is a,
if there's a situation that happens such as that,
I don't know if you could put a year on that.
That could have happened to us at year three
or could have happened to us at year 15.
But for us, I think it happened around year six or six, yeah.
So what did you learn from that though,
that she can hear from you
and possibly inject it into her life?
Okay, when one of you,
and around that same exact time is,
close to when my mom was diagnosed with cancer and she died.
And we moved, made a move.
So you've got big life events that happened, change of job,
a move, a death in the family, something like that,
knowing how to best support each other and check in and see how you can show up for them
and they can show up for you.
We did not do a good job at that at all whatsoever.
Eddie?
Yeah.
18 years, by the way.
18 years.
18 years.
18 years.
The guy's been married for 18 years.
I'm starting to think, you know, like, when?
Lunchbox would make out with your marriage right now.
now. Because it's 18 years old. It's legal.
It depends. It depends if it's graduated. It just turned 18. So it's still got a year to go.
Oh, so after. No, we graduated. Maybe they graduated early.
That's so weird. Go ahead. Go ahead. So in my marriage, we had like a bunch of, you know, certain
things that happened that kind of caused turmoil. So they would be like, you get married, you deal with
in-laws. That was a problem. After that, you have kids. That's a problem. You buy a house. Oh, my gosh.
How do we decorate the house?
That becomes a problem.
Start a lot of disagreements in there.
I think the key, and I know everyone says this, but it's communication.
If you communicate it, get ahead of it and say, look, this is bothering me.
What do we do about it?
And then talk about it.
I don't want to communicate because I want to get a fight.
Yeah, but you have to talk about it.
I know.
I'm supposed to do.
As long as you understand.
I need to get my B.H check too, but I don't.
I'm a human.
I'm telling you, it helps things when you talk about.
I know.
I know you're right.
So it's easier in the long run to, or it's easier in the moment to avoid it, but in
a long run, you're doing yourself a disservice.
But that's then why we should all be exercising X amount of hours in.
I mean, I'm just saying it's much easier we should.
We have to be the buffalo.
Just saying when all those things happen, because it's not one thing.
It's not the seven-year it's.
It's a lot of things that happen.
Got it.
That causes problems in your marriage.
So you would tell her.
Just talk about it.
Talk about it.
Let your husband, your spouse know how you feel about it.
Then figure it out.
Lunchbox.
Don't take anything so serious.
I mean, that's the problem.
People start taking things so serious.
Like when you're dating and stuff, you're just having fun and you know, you get married and all of a sudden, oh no, you start getting mad about little things.
Like, why not go back to the dating when you were having fun and like the little stuff didn't bother you?
Quit getting so tied up and everything being so serious.
Just have fun.
Who cares?
What would you tell her about it's 11 years?
She's again starting to maybe be bored.
Okay.
I got an idea.
Here, leave a card at home with a hotel key in it and say, hey, I'm here.
Come see me.
Boom.
And that could be a part of it.
Have you done that?
Who?
Lunch fox.
He's not going to pay for a room.
No, I'm not paying for a hotel room.
Like it's from like our promo team here.
You read it in a book?
Where did this idea come from?
What would you do?
You're asking me what I would do.
Yeah, to avoid, we'll call it the 11-year-age.
Okay, I think that it's just being involved in each other's lives and knowing.
Like, codependent behavior is huge in relationships.
Oftentimes, that's something we dealt with a lot.
I can only speak to my own experience.
And there's just a lot of unhealthy patterns that we didn't address our,
on and then they morphed into a much bigger problem.
My advice is don't get married until you're 39.
But she's already married.
I'm just telling you. I'm just doing my, I can speak to my own experience.
Yeah.
You know?
Out of the two years bones, which one though is the worst?
The first.
Why?
Not if you're deployed half the year.
True.
I mean, for me it was the hardest because I never lived with anybody.
Adjustments?
Yeah.
I mean, I'm sure.
Probably because you've gone 39, 40 years.
Yeah, it was probably the hardest for her because here, here I am.
like I am who I am.
Yeah.
Good or bad.
And so it's mostly just like figuring out the dance of all cohabitation.
And for me, trust.
You know, she's with like a damaged deer.
And so she's constantly raising a damaged deer in a big part of my life.
You're the deer.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like with like relationship wise, I don't have that.
I don't have understanding on a lot of the intimacy,
even, not even like
lunchbox is talking about,
but just intimacy between humans.
I struggle with that
because of how I grew up.
So she's, yeah, she's nurturing
a damaged deer back.
So I think her answer
would be the first year
is probably the hardest.
Mine is bold and awesome.
She's pretty.
It's a great year.
So obviously we're not experts,
but I'm curious if any of this was helpful.
Well, like back to what Lunchbox is saying though,
real quick.
Like, he said just have fun,
don't take so serious.
Like, why do we take everything
so serious when we get married?
But sometimes things get,
Things get serious, like kids and bills and life.
You can't just joke about that?
You can joke, but the joke it ain't going to make it better.
I think it's a personality thing more than anything.
But yes, Lauren, how do you feel about that?
I want to say, for the record, I'm not deba boarding in the marriage.
I didn't want it to come across that way.
We actually renewed our vows last year in the Bahamas.
So I was just trying to see if there was anything to what they say about the first year is the hardest,
seventh year's the hardest, the 10th years, the 10th years, if there's any correlation there to.
Oh, no, I think those numbers are just a sign.
Yeah, they also have the five-year fizzle.
They just find a word, alliteration.
Five-year fizzle.
The two-year tumble.
The six-year sucks.
I don't know.
There's a lot.
All right.
Congratulations.
Eddie, congratulations.
Thank you, man.
And Lauren, we got to get her a gift card to Sonic.
She's been on hold there.
So thank you.
Right, can we play a song or no?
Nope.
Okay, well, there we go.
That's Joe Biz, baby.
Use Amy's pile of stories.
How much to finances factor into a relationship?
Well, communication of them a lot.
But I don't know.
Well, according to a new report from Credit Karma,
Jen Ziers and millennials fight about money with their romantic partners, like once a week, which is crazy.
I got married older.
So when I got married, I was, they met Caitlin was 39.
We don't, we still don't have kids.
We will at some point.
She is not pregnant right now, so don't start those rumors on Facebook either.
So I can understand if you're young and you get married and you have kids quickly and you're still figuring out your job, your career.
how that's a big, it can be a problem, it can be some uncomfortable growth.
But for us, she, you know, she went back at her master's degree, was working in tech and oil and gas.
And so we don't really fight about it.
The second argument, so money's first, second is.
Taking out of the trash.
Now, now that we, you know, there.
I did it yesterday.
Nope.
It's not being present or being on the phone too much.
Oh, that's number one for me.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's number one.
And spending time together.
and then after that comes in chores.
But the money thing is so important to young people
that they're starting to research their dates job
to see how much money they make
before they go out with them.
Their dates job.
Yeah, like those that are younger and dating.
That's not a thing.
You shouldn't do that.
We shouldn't?
No.
Now, we should also normalize how much we make.
So everybody say how much they make.
Go, maybe.
Okay.
So another survey found that 75% of people said,
Hey, happiness at your job is the key to happiness in life.
I would agree it's a big part of it.
Happy work, happy life?
Yes, that's the same.
Interesting.
For it.
No, he's doing happy wife.
Happy life.
I know, but the title of the study that I read was...
I do happy work, happy dork.
Happy work, happy life.
Almost rhyme.
Kind of works, though.
Almost rhyme.
Okay, this might save you money.
Google Flights is adding a new feature to help travelers figure out the right time to book.
You can turn on a price tracking feature as well that's going to notify you when
prices drop significantly, or it'll say, hey, this is the time you need to buy. Go, which I think
is like so helpful because they can fluctuate so much. I naturally turn every notification
off as soon as I download anything. It doesn't matter what it is. It could be an app that just
tells me the good notifications. Do you want notifications? Nope. I'm trained to go. Nope. I don't want any
notifications on anything because I just, I get annoyed with all the things on my phone. So other than the
notifications part, I'd be good for that. So college football coaches, they were asked to name
their favorite singers and country stars dominated.
Yeah, probably because it's a bunch of white guys in their 50s in the southeast for the most part.
Yeah, I mean.
And there's one country artist in particular that was number one overall.
Stapleton.
Eight different college coaches say this guy is their favorite.
Stapleton.
Older.
Oh, George Strait.
I mean, it's a lot of school in Texas, too.
And George Strait, Texas is a guy for sure.
Down the Nile Flames.
Kirby Smart said, LeBrien.
Hey, everybody.
I want to want to.
I got, I got a water.
Yeah.
Georgia, obviously.
Who did Sam Pittman say?
I don't have him.
Arkansas coach.
He's probably a George guy.
I don't have.
No, I bet it was a country.
I bet it was like classic rock.
You're probably right.
Other ones on the list.
These guys got six weeks.
Coach Lee from Vanderbilt, Beethoven.
That guy's smart.
Eric Church and Luke Holmes.
They come in second time.
I'm Amy.
That's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stores.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Back in 2017, there's this mixed breed dog named Scout.
He broke out of the animal shelter, put him back in.
He broke out again.
They were like, how's he getting out of here?
Broke out again.
They're like, where's he going?
Well, they found out my dog, I know where, if Eller leaves, I know where she likes to go now.
She has this one part of the fence she likes to go to.
There's another dog back there, and she's not always there, but a lot of times she's in that spot.
So they started going to this dog is the same spot every time.
Turns out this dog had been going.
and sneaking out of this place and into a nursing home.
And then just sleeping on the couch in the lobby.
Aw.
And then the old people started being friends with the dog.
I don't even know where it was coming from.
That's pretty cute.
So you got a dog who's escaping and just find somewhere warm and fun to go to.
And then he's like, this couch's awesome.
And people keep petting me.
And he keeps going back.
And then you have the people there.
They're like, this dog is just showing up.
So everybody was winning.
And so now the dog goes and like basically stays there.
Yes.
pets at nursing homes
as long as it's okay for the people
to be around the pets, it's so
