Starting point is 00:01:52 Morning. During this show, Eddie and Abby go skydiving. They're driving like an hour north, so they have to leave during the next hour of the show and they're going to drive for an hour. They're going to be live. It's going to be live. I don't think the phone's going to be able to go down. with you? Yeah, I can't have it while I'm jumping.
Starting point is 00:02:08 But can he have it in the plane? Are we talked to him before he goes up or what? Talk to him before he goes up and then we'll keep on as long as the service goes. Even when you're going on the plane? Yeah, that's the plan, yeah. Okay, that's cool. And then we'll talk to him. As soon as he lands, we'll talk to him. Okay, that's today. You're not there yet? No, I'm nervous. I woke up nervous.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Okay, because it's getting close. It's getting today. It's today, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's go around the room here. His choice for our Bobby Bone Show movie club was rope. And when it comes down, picking out a good movie for us to watch, yeah, we basically lost all hope. Here he is, Eddie. I've been listening to a certain song on repeat, and I've never thought I'd be listening to this song like this.
Starting point is 00:02:45 It's Chris Stapleton's new version of the Star Spangled Banner that he did at the Super Bowl. He released it, so it's on streaming services. Dude, I listen to it over and over. My family's like, what are you doing? It's really good. I mean, I remember I'm playing it, but I guess I just remember going. Go back. That's Chris Stapleton right there.
Starting point is 00:03:00 I've listened to it probably over 100 times, and I still get chills every single time I here. Should we just play it at the end of this segment? Please. In its entirety. I don't want to play and stop it, so we can do that. Yeah, then I started. It's emotional. It really is.
Starting point is 00:03:11 Like, there's a part where, there's the high part, right? But we're going to hear it. And then every, you, but listen, when you listen to it, the crowd goes nuts because they start feeling. They're like, whoa, this feels good. Well, you release it as a song. Like, you can release that, like, on an album? He didn't put it as an album, so just released it as a single, like as a single song. You can make money off of that?
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah. So what are you going to do it? You should sing and get able to stream it. Yeah. I had no idea. this next guy told us he was in his first commercial on TV. Turns out it was only Instagram and he did it for free. Here he has lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Guys, I have a new defense against getting sick. I'm going to start microdosing. Well, no, no, no. It's not called do dozing, first of all. Microdosing is a term. Dosing. I'm going to do microdosing. Emergency.
Starting point is 00:03:58 Oh, no, not emergency. That's not microdosing. Like whatever the mushroom beans. No, no. People have been doing it like with mushrooms and acid. and hallucinogens type of things. Yeah, for like PTSD, a lot of health benefits. Right, and they say it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:04:11 They microdose and they. LSD. They do, it does wonder. So I'm going to start doing it to myself. But with emergency. Because it's supposed to. How do you microdose an emergency? Just take a little.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah, take a little. Just put a little in the water. You don't do it every day. Microdosing is not every day. Some it's like four days a week. You have like a schedule. Like one week, it's three days. But I don't think this is what microdosing is.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Are you drinking the whole packet? That's less than taking a vitamin a day. I mean, it's like not... No, I'm in a microdose. Just a little under your tongue? Yeah, a little under my tongue. I don't think you know what that means. Or really what that...
Starting point is 00:04:45 But I like it. You're just taking a microdose, basically. You're not really what they call a microdosing, but you're just taking yourself a microdose a day. Yeah, but I suppose that's going to help me to not get sick. I'd say you're going to microdose all day online. Yeah, microdose. All right, good.
Starting point is 00:04:57 According to AI, she has the most symmetrical face on the show. I don't think some of the other results were accurate, though. By the way, that was written by Abby. Oh. I know. I think that's what she's talking about. That was a hard segment. That was a hard segment. The worst.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And I couldn't believe scuba put it up on the internet too. Oh, God. Like he did it. Scoba Steve suggests and he put it on the internet too. He approved it. That's a tough one. Okay, here she is Amy. I really feel like the driver's test, like the actual one where the 16-year-old gets in the driver's seat with an instructor for the final test.
Starting point is 00:05:30 So that they can go get their license is sort of a joke. Nowadays? Or at least where we went, because my daughter is. It's been 16 since April, but she hasn't gone to take her final test until, well, she finally did it. And she was gone for less than five minutes. Her driving test was less than five minutes, the part of driving? Yeah, I don't even know. I don't know if they just drove down the corner and he's like, get him to do this, do that.
Starting point is 00:05:54 And then turn around and came back. And she passed, which is great. But I know that she needs more practice. She can technically go to the DMV now and get her actual license. but we're going to require a little more driving with us. So that test isn't enough for you. Because it was like... I was shocked.
Starting point is 00:06:12 I didn't even go get on the highway. Like, don't you have to know how to get on the highway? My driving test, we did not get on the highway. Driver Zed, we got on the highway. Okay. Well, then maybe... The driver test, we didn't. Listen, I thought they were going to least me on 15 minutes. Can you imagine being a driving instructor? What's crazy, 16-year-olds all day.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Stressful. That's all you do. Get in the car with them. Okay, let's see if you can do this. Yeah, but I could see where you'd think it'd be too easy. Yeah. Well, and honestly, she came back and she parked and she parked like not on, like she parked on the line instead of like in between the lines. And then the guy was like, you know what? These are pretty faded. You're good. It's like, wrongy.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Everybody. You get a license. You get a license. All right, Amy, thank you. From Mountain Pine, Arkansas, his Bronco constantly needs work, but it looks cool. So that's a perk. Bobby Bones. Thank you. So here's what we're going through at my house. We have yard. And but the yard was mostly fenced in. where Eller are half husky, half hound couldn't get out. She loves to run. She loves the perimeter search. If she can make a break for it, she will.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Just to chase animals, but we just lose her. She's found little gaps in between gates that she can escape. So what we've done now is we've bought this. We haven't put it on them yet. We bought this system that is a electric fence with GPS, and you can, like, do your yard in GPS. And if they cross that, apparently, it says no shock. But how else?
Starting point is 00:07:31 What's it going to do reasonably talk to them? Hey, don't close here. Eller, you know better than it. No, but it says it gives them like a pulse. That's a shock. Yeah. I don't worry about Stanley. What I worry about Stanley is him falling into the pool and drowning because this fat bulldog.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Eller will just run away. So we have them. We haven't set it up yet. But this is what we're going to do over the next couple days that my house has set up this electric fence that they say is no shock. Apparently it just like makes a noise and reminds them. I'm going to tell you, I make a lot of noise to remind her stuff and it doesn't work. It's only a noise. we can't really hear.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Oh, like dog noises. I'm going to put it on me and walk through it. It's shocks what I'm talking about. It has to shock. But anyway, that's what we're posted, because I might need one of these. For us?
Starting point is 00:08:14 For who? Or for your kids? No, for my dog. She gets out and it's annoying. We're going to live with this. I will update you soon on it. And we've also done something really crazy. We basically built a sky bridge for our dogs
Starting point is 00:08:27 to get to the yard. It's so dog. Dogs, man. You guys don't understand. You just have kids. But dogs, man. We don't know. Okay, so that's that big show today.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Eddie go skydiving, Abby go skydiving. Lunchbox is JFK report. We reviewed the movie that Lunchbox made us watch the stuff. Oh, man. What a movie. What a movie. Time for the mailbag. You send me email and we read it all the air.
Starting point is 00:08:54 It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. One of my coworkers is really awkward and I felt a little bad that everyone in our office is either mean to her or ignores her. She's actually pretty nice, so I asked if she wanted to have lunch with me one day, and we now eat together a time or two a week. We even got drinks after work last week, as I'm getting to know where I'm realizing that I'm her only friend.
Starting point is 00:09:18 I think she's an interesting person, but totally different from my other friends. I'd like trying to set her up with some other people as friends, but I don't know how to play matchmaker for awkward but interesting people. Any advice on how I can help this girl out? Signed, friendly matchmaker. This is very easy. you just go with her. That's how you introduce her to other people.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Because, yeah, some people are an acquired taste, but then they're awesome. So you say, hey, I think this person and you would be friends, then you go, all three of you go. You make it happen. You go. So you're the person that kind of keeps it from being so awkward. They get to know each other. Maybe they hang out as friends after that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:56 That's the easy answer there. So you can set her up, but you need to go on those as well, basically as it's a try and It's not a third wheel. It's a triangle. You triangle, friend date it. And then eventually you can break off that triangle. That's how you do it. A little more effort. Good for you too for caring about somebody else in this way. I like that's what I'm talking about. Good for you. Because sometimes the weirdest people are actually the best. It's just they sound like you're speaking from experience. Well, I just feel like I'm so happy with my friend because I know I'm weird sometimes. And it's a different situation. So good for you. I like this at this email. you gotta put a little extra work in, but you can set her up and you go with her and be like, hey,
Starting point is 00:10:37 we're gonna all go. That's it, at the end. A plus, anything you want to say, Amy? No, I mean, I like that.
Starting point is 00:10:43 I love her caring heart. This is gonna be, it could be a game changer for her. Yes. Expand her network. Expand your network. Yes. I don't know what you said,
Starting point is 00:10:51 but yeah, I like that. Sounds good. All right, there you go. Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air.
Starting point is 00:10:57 Now it's about the clothes Bobby's mail back. Yeah. The bit, we don't know is coming and we're forced to do. It's called scuba Steve suggests or it's short three yes. Scuba Steve, our executive producer. What are you talking about today? So I saw a story about a record number of Americans living alone. 29% of U.S. people are by themselves at the house. And right now my wife is in San Francisco with the kids and I'm home alone. But that's not you in that
Starting point is 00:11:25 29%. No, no, no. There's people who like live alone like permanently. Me and before the last couple years. Always by myself. Yeah. It was awesome. For a long time. It's even awesome. It's awesomer now, but I like living by myself. I wasn't very sad. I was fine with it. Then I got married and I got acclimated to that lifestyle. Them being gone a few days, I'm cool. I can watch movies. I can do fun things.
Starting point is 00:11:43 But after a while, man, I'm so lonely. I'm so bored. And I just nothing for me to do. And now I'm over it. Were you looking forward to a lone time? And then once you got a lot of it, you're like, actually, I don't like it as much as I thought I would. Yeah, that grass is greener effect. Where you're like, man, I don't know, I can't do it. Eddie's same way.
Starting point is 00:11:58 He's got a house full of people and he's like, when they're gone, I start to miss them. Yeah, it's terrible, man. I drink a lot. My house is messy. I would be a mess if I didn't have a family. Oh, you're saying you do this when they're gone. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I was like, what's different? I'm a pretty clean life. I'm pretty clean life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, okay, so people are living alone. So what's the deal here? So my whole thing is to kind of kill two birds of one stone, me not being alone, but also me kind of developing a better relationship with everyone here in the show.
Starting point is 00:12:23 I wanted to go out with people individually over the next week, week and a half, to get to know you guys better, but also if we need to be alone. That's interesting. Go out with us. So now it's ready to segment. One-on-one? For him to hang out with us. Go out of Steve.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I like it. I like it. Week and a half, huh? Yeah. What if we just do this? What if it's, we're just cramming a lot in? Yeah. So what if?
Starting point is 00:12:46 Yes, let's do this over the next week and a half. But let's make sure you go with everybody over the next month. Okay. We'll make a point of it. And so everyone individually, get with Scoobo Steve and you have to go have a one-on-one date with Scoobest Steve. Gotcha.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Hey, lunch at the Vue. Well, so I can take your suggestions. I also have a list as well. I kind of came with some ideas if you want those. You did. Okay. What I thought. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:13:09 So I think the first and most important is Bobby Bones and Amy. You guys are kind of the king and queen of the show. So I feel like you guys are kind of dinner people. So I figure we go out to a dinner. You just want a nice dinner. Got it? Nice dinner. That's what you want.
Starting point is 00:13:21 You want a nice dinner. Go ahead. Yes. And then the next one, lunchbox. I feel like we should go to Chuckie cheese. Three kids, two adults. I'm your third adult. We can have a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:13:30 I can watch one kid. And also I'm missing my family, so I'm a little bit, like, sad. Yeah, you should do that now. So I want to borrow your kids. Okay, go ahead. Eddie and Mike D. I figured you guys like movies and old cinema. So you're not going one-on-ones, though.
Starting point is 00:13:43 You're also doing... I'm so confused. Yeah. I mean, I like to do one-on-ones would be great, but I feel like some of these people have similar interests, so let's kind of, like, knock it out and kind of make a little quick. Okay. I'm running short on time.
Starting point is 00:13:52 My family's coming back. Once they come back, I don't have the time to do this. Got it. Two weeks. Being selfish, got it. Yeah. Okay. You watch your old movie with Mike?
Starting point is 00:13:58 So old movie with Mike and Eddie, I found something showing here at an old theater, old 1920s theater. It's called Ziggy Sardust. Yeah. That's David Bowie. Yeah, yeah. I'm in. Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:14:08 All right. So we said this place called the Bellacourt. I think Mike likes that. There you go, boom. Two right there, done. And then the next one, they got larger group. Ray and Morgan liked this spot. That's like a hidden gym.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I won't say what it's called, but it's like near a river. You guys talk about it all the time. The food, the plastic cup drinkers. So I figure I get them together along with Abby, Kevin, Pitts, and Lauren. You just want to hang out with all of them. Well, they're kind of grouped together. It sounds like you just want to do fun things and you want us to pay for it. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:34 It's pretty good. I mean, it's a good idea. Or do you want to go with the isolated one-on-one? I think we should isolate one-on-one with everybody. That'd be cool. Yeah, that's why I was so confused. How many people is that? But he has all the free time in the world.
Starting point is 00:14:46 He's got a month, too. But he said once his family's back, he's not going to have time. So you're saying he has a month. but in his mind he has two weeks. Yeah, he figured out. It's his bit. He has to go. Yeah, he committed to it.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I suggested it. All right, over a month, we're going to, so it's July 12th. So let's say by August, August 15th, you had to go on a date with every single one of us. Okay. Amy looks really excited out of everyone. It doesn't be a date. You don't have to get naked.
Starting point is 00:15:09 But I already know where we're going. Amy, don't worry. It can be anything. It can be anything one-on-one, but it's got to be at least a half an hour. Huh. Okay. All right. And whatever happens, happens.
Starting point is 00:15:18 You know, what happens with us? Scuba stays with scuba. You put it like that. You know what I mean? All right. I like it, good bit. Okay, thank you. Update us as you do it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Okay, yeah. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. There's an 11-year-old kid named Shaden. I want to play you a video. He's knocking on neighbors' doors just going, hey, does anybody live with it? This is around my age.
Starting point is 00:15:41 I need friends. Here's a clip. I just wanted to see if you knew any kids around like 11 and 12 maybe because I need, I need some friends. Like, really bad. So people are like, well, we don't have a kid at your age. But there are some other kids down the road that at this age. And he's like, well, if I'm being honest, those are the ones that beat me up. So I'm looking for other friends.
Starting point is 00:16:02 So this one woman who went to the door was like, hey, let me help you out. Because the kid was struggling financially it looked like. And maybe that's why he was picked on. And so they raised a bunch of money from some school clothes, just some random life things. Which I'm sure would do a lot for his confidence. Yeah. And they were trying to just raise like $7,000. but they raised $37,000 for this kid.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Oh, wow. What's going to buy now? It's closing Hyundai. It's happening here. So, but yeah, it's awesome. It's just a bunch of people coming together, seeing something that they could help. And also this Shaden kid, just knocking on doors going, hey, anybody in there that wants to be my friend? That's brave.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Yeah. It's just brave to go cold call. I won't do that now, even if I know the person. I don't want to knock on the door. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Is there an issue?
Starting point is 00:16:50 Do you have it? No. He told me tomorrow. No, we set on the air yesterday today. So Lunchbox's JFK report is due today. Scoobah, what do you want to say? Mike C's seeing me on the email. I'm looking at it right here.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, that said, hey, be ready for tomorrow. Come here. Come here. I'm looking at my email. See if I got an email. I have the email. Okay, then come to my email and find it. But you could have deleted it.
Starting point is 00:17:15 You can look at my deleted. That's true. But then you look at his deleted. Yeah, you can trash it. Go ahead. At what time? What time did he send it? I'm looking at the email, 102 p.m.
Starting point is 00:17:25 They're just right there. You didn't even click on it. Also, you use the email version of the email, which is terrible. Got it. It's in there. You see the email that says your JFK assassination reports to do? He says, do tomorrow. He's speechless.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Wow. He's not talking. He can't say anything. Lunchbox, what's going on over there? Well, there it is. Did you just not scroll down? No, I mean, he usually, emails at like 7 o'clock at night
Starting point is 00:17:55 and so he So 1 o'clock in the day, it got lost? Yeah, it got lost if it's like later than the time. How many emails do you get? No, but a lot of junk comes in to this email. Like those pills. Like I got one. Introducing country music's newest badass.
Starting point is 00:18:11 No, we're not talking about that. I know we're talking about the fact that you. So it's, it's well a punishment. No. Yeah. Yes. Sorry, dude. You got to.
Starting point is 00:18:21 So, okay, here's the deal I'm going to make. Mike, you've got to remind me. No, no, no, no, he did. He sent it to you at a certain time in the email. So here's what we're going to do. This is the final. He will do the report tomorrow, but if it doesn't get an A, he then gets on the will of punishment.
Starting point is 00:18:37 There's a lot of chances. Can this be his final reminder? Do I have to email him? No. I'm not emailing him. He can't blame that anymore. I'm looking at the email. I mean, because you have to understand.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I had the stuff to do. We all did. Right, right. That's double. I mean, that's double the homework. You've had this for a month. Man, I've been busy. We've known that.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. For a week. He will do it tomorrow last time, but if he doesn't get a collective A, he gets on the wheel of punishment. Wow. You guys could give him an F if you wanted before it even starts. Yeah, I'm thinking about that. But you have no idea how good it's going to be. Boom.
Starting point is 00:19:08 We do. We have an idea. Dang, man. I literally did not see that email, man. Like even Scova said. But we talked about it on the air yesterday, too. Yeah, I know. I know.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I'll pivot from that. We'll do a quick segment here. But just know that's going to happen tomorrow. Do you want to talk about JFK? Give me a little cheat sheet, little cliff notes. What are you talking about? Sure. Jamie Fountain Kennedy was our third president.
Starting point is 00:19:34 He's known for a lot of things. First president to climb Mount Everest. If you want to write this down. Because there's ever only been two presidents climbing on Everest. You already messed up one thing. I know he's not the third president. Oh, I'll probably mess up. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Because that was Adams. No, it wasn't. Oh. Jefferson. John Adams is number two. Oh, well, I thought there was another Adams. Kennedy was three. Oh, well, then maybe I was wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Yeah, you were wrong. Other things about Kennedy, Eddie, want to help him up with anything? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was... The third nipple. He was the first present with three nipples. He won two triathlons. Did you win them both?
Starting point is 00:20:09 I think he won both of them, yeah. Amy? Triathlete. It's tragic. He died skydiving. That was terrible. Amy, that's not... You know what's happening? Yeah, Amy, what?
Starting point is 00:20:19 Amy. Amy, you know that I know that he was assassinating. Oh, that's true too. What was he skydiving when he was assassinated? Did they assassinate him by not putting a parachute in his? No, because you guys said some guy named Wilkes Booth shot him. That's right. Yep.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Hey. What else? John Wilkes Booth, for sure. And then there's something. But the whole controversy is did Wilkes Booth do it? Mm-hmm. So I don't know. I don't know anything else about him.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And what theater? Just know that the theater. I know that one of his relatives. It's still in politics and it's running for president. That's true. Nephew, I believe. Really? R.F. Robert Kennedy Jr.?
Starting point is 00:21:02 I don't know. I mean, it has to be like nephew 12th removed. I don't think it is, actually. But, okay, so you have that tomorrow, okay? Yeah, I'll write it down. If he's the third president, it is very distant. It's a very distant relative. It's a very distant relative. It's a old nephew, too.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And if it's not an A, by the panel, he has to be on the wheel of punishment. Have the will ready tomorrow, too, just in case when he fails, we'll go right to it, okay? Man, this does take me back to school, though. Like, I'd be like, oh, man, can I get some extra credit? And then I wouldn't get it done. And then I'd be like, hey, can you give me a little bit more time on that extra credit? And then, oh, man. It's like nightmares.
Starting point is 00:21:39 You want to wait until Friday? You're going to have an extra day? No. Why? Why would he get an extra night? It doesn't matter. I'm not going to do it good. You got to get A's.
Starting point is 00:21:48 I've gotten A's in high school? I don't know, from us, though. And you got A's in high school? Like, a couple classes. First, we've heard of it. Okay, we're going to play this. Lunchbox did not do as a report, but we'll give them a chance before the end of the week. As part of the Bobby Bones Cinema Club, we had to watch a movie called The Stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:05 Lunchbox had put it in the hat. We drew it randomly. We watched it was hour, 27 minutes. And the whole premise of this movie is that there's a yogurt and it kills people. It takes over people's brains. It takes over their bodies, man. Yeah. So everybody wrote a three-line review.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I'm just going to go through some of the reviews here. Let's do it. Okay, review number one. The stuff should have won an Oscar. Was it cheesy? The answer is yes. But you found yourself cheering for the good guys. You immediately ran to your fridge to throw out all your yogurt.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Add that to my must-watch list again. That had to be you. He's such a bad actor. Okay, okay. That was the first one of. Okay. This is exactly something I would imagine lunchwalk's liking and watching over and over. He has some bizarre movie interest.
Starting point is 00:22:49 This movie is so dumb and very weird. I can't believe I watch the whole thing. thing. Rude. Here's the next one. I thought the commentary on consumerism was interesting and I was actually a fan of the practical effects even though they looked very 80s.
Starting point is 00:23:01 But the story fell apart quickly. The production was terrible and Moe is one of the most unorthodox characters ever. I did find the movie at a cult following, so I didn't think lunchbox was intentionally trying to pick a bad movie. Scova seed. Yeah, that's for sure Scova.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Is that you, Scova? No, that sounds like Mike. That sounds like Mike. Got it. Oh, yeah. It definitely was a metaphor for a lot of, I mean. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:20 But as a kid, I had no idea that was all involved. It was a little better than rope. Special effects were horrible. I never want to see ice cream, shaving cream, or toothpaste again. I give it a 1.5. They call me Moe because I always ask for Moe money out of five. I will say that I paid three bucks for it. I watched it.
Starting point is 00:23:40 And I was so happy it was only an hour and 20 minutes. Because I broke it up into two parts. It was much easier to do that. One of the parts was the toilet. Like that was what broke the time? No, I just watched my laptop on the door. I'm going to be there anyway. I have to admit, I laugh multiple times watching this movie.
Starting point is 00:23:58 The storyline is crap. The acting is terrible except for chocolate chip Charlie. This goes down as one of the worst, cheesiest 80 movies I've ever seen. Generally, not really a beloved movie by the group here. Here's one. Three lines, W-T-F. Those little lines. That's the review.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Yeah, that was mine. That's mine. Oh, yeah. So let's talk about it for a second. called The Stuff. I actually made notes as I was watching the movie. Here are my notes from watching this movie from the 80s called The Stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:27 This movie was actually made in 1985 and the cover is a guy whose face is being stretched and yogurt is coming out of his mouth. Now it starts with this old guy looking at the ground and he goes, well that there is moving. He puts his finger in the ground and licks it and goes
Starting point is 00:24:43 Hey, Michael, come here. taste this that's how it starts that's how it starts and then they're just eating the stuff from the ground they're like it tastes so good and that's what happens
Starting point is 00:24:58 it's basically like an alien from underground that gets spread all out of the country put into yogurt once you eat the yogurt you get taken over by it and then that's what's up the dog that got that was mean because he eats the stuff and Moe was like
Starting point is 00:25:15 hey dog why is your master afraid of you? And I'm like, it's a freaking huge Doberman. Even if he didn't have the stuff. So the dog got eaten up by the stuff. Chocolate tip, Charlie was a real hero in it. Oh, he's awesome. I didn't know where he comes like beating up, fighting Mo.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah, hey, but then chocolate chip. Then he ends up, yeah. Then talking to him. No, wait. Spoiler, work. It's 85, bro. That's 85. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:36 When the dude is in the bed in the hotel and gets attacked in the face by the yogurt, he's in the bed, staying there, and all of a sudden the yogurt starts attacking him. It exploded out of the pillow, man. Yeah. And they have to like burn it off his face. Yeah. Pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:25:49 That was pretty cool. And then chocolate chip Charlie's head exploding. I have that as another cool scene. Like what did they use? Because they did whatever it was, shaving cream or whatever they used in making the movie. There was a lot of stuff. Oh, I was reading about it. And they said whatever the concoction was, it was so disgusting.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Like the actors even had to go and like take breaks away from it because it smelled so bad. It was a foam made of blended fish bones. I also had to take break lifting the movie. It was so bad. Same reason. Yes. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It was so bad. I could see where if I were nine, it's not scary, though. I thought it was going to be a scary movie. I mean, there was funny and there was scary because the whole yogurt thing for years after that, you don't eat yogurt. And the whole purpose of the movie is just because everybody tells you you should eat it and everybody in America is eating it. It's the new thing.
Starting point is 00:26:35 It's on commercials. It doesn't mean it's actually the best thing for you. Yeah. How many cups of yogurt do you give it? I give it two out of five. Two because there is a bigger message to it. that I think could be easily missed. I'm going to give it two out of five, Amy.
Starting point is 00:26:49 One. Okay. Eddie? I'm going to give it one. I mean, I did like the special effects of the big foam. Well, I feel like we could have done that here. Right. That's a lot of foam.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I feel like it's very low budget. Oh, I give it four out of five. Morgan? One and a half out of five. Hey, movie, Mike, your final thought on the stuff here? I thought it was ridiculous. I love the part where the kid just randomly gets in the car with Mo. He's like, who are you?
Starting point is 00:27:11 Get in the car. All right. And the kids' parents are all murdered by the yogurt. He's like all chill about. about and stuff. He's like, oh, that's my dad and my brothers. We're all good. And then he just leaves him hanging out on his own. He gets stuck in the truck. Like, oh, yeah, you're in here.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Scooby, do you have a review of the stuff? So for me, my four of you or just the rating? Whatever. I don't remember I wrote it down, but my thing is 3.5 out of five chocolate Charlie chips. Wow. Why? Why'd you like it so much? I just, for you like the... lonely? Well, I'm lonely.
Starting point is 00:27:39 Nothing else to watch. But it kind of reminds you of the killer clowns of outer space. Yeah. At that cold classic kind of movie film. So I enjoyed it. It was cheesy. but it was good. Okay, the stuff overall average about 1.8 cups of yogurt. Yeah! We do think that it wasn't it. You didn't do it to be mean to us.
Starting point is 00:27:54 I didn't. I'm telling you, that was a childhood classic. The Bobbybone Cinema Club will draw another movie next week. Oh, boy. We'll watch it again. All right, lunchbox, thank you. You got another one to put in there, though. Oh, I got to write one down.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Yeah, yeah. A box of Moonlight. I went to watch that one. It kept showing the guy's wiener. That's the winner. Oh. Yes. Here are some number ones.
Starting point is 00:28:12 The number one pop song is Taylor Swift Karma. The number one hit. Hip-hop song is Siza Snooze. Like you lose when I'm with you. And the number one country song is Old Dominion, Memory Lane. That is their ninth number one song.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Congratulations to those guys. Here's Amy's pile of stories. You would think that the number one thing that couples fight over when they're home and they're trying to watch TV. Dogs. Oh, are... Wow, man. Anything else? Dishwasher. No. Well, I started with
Starting point is 00:28:52 money as general and then I realized maybe it was more specific for something we do. And it's like, who's going to the dogs out and then I hate the dishwasher. So that was my three, yeah. Okay, well, these are all TV related arguments and you would think the number one is like, hey, what are we going to watch? But that's not it. Okay, I'm going to list. She's the top five. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Spending too much time choosing what to watch. Well, there's so many options. That's problematic. When you have five streaming platforms in every show and you don't really have a plan, like let's just pick something to watch. There are movies, there are shows, there are series, there's documentary. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:29:25 So you just fight over. with myself. I said I. So I get that one. They keep talking while you're trying to pay attention. That's not really an issue for us. Okay. Asking too many questions about what's going on.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Nah, not an issue. Deciding. The only time I ask questions, if I get on my phone and I hate having to do this, she's like, you know, if you're going to miss stuff, if you're on your phone, you're going to miss what's happening. It's a really important time. Yeah, no problem. No problem. No problem.
Starting point is 00:29:50 Oh, my phone. Hey, how did he end up with the red hair? She's like, exactly. She's like, I told you. Yes, okay, go ahead. And then this is where deciding to watch comes in at number two. Like, you want to watch something that then they don't and you're going back and forth, which how do y'all, y'all have a system?
Starting point is 00:30:05 We just trade. We trade or she's been right so many times. If it's a tie, I just go with her. Because I don't think she's ever been wrong. The only show that we started watching that I wasn't super into, and I think it was an attention span thing. We just started on episode three was the Anne Frank story that's on like Nat Geo-Hulu. A small life.
Starting point is 00:30:24 Yeah, it's about Meep who. was taking care of Van Frank and making sure they had food. I know the story really well. And I think the reason that I can't just be like I'm ready to watch it is I know how it ends. And I'm so sad. And I hate Nazis. And I hate Hitler. And it just all disgusts me.
Starting point is 00:30:40 And it just, even though it's in history and it makes me so sad, even though the show is really good. I think that's why I'm not into it. Now that I talk it out loud. I just don't like how it makes me feel. I hate Nazis. I'm with you on that. Yeah. Godly.
Starting point is 00:30:55 All right. What else? Well, the number one thing that we argue about watching TV with others is the volume. One person thinks it too loud, the other person thinks it's too quiet. I have to turn it up really loud. I think because I have headphones on all the time. Although I pass my hearing test, best hearing they ever heard. And so I turn the subtitles on, though.
Starting point is 00:31:11 The captions all the time for everything. It doesn't matter what it is. It's got subtitles on. Yeah. It's that issue in my car, though, with my kids, they think I listen to the radio too loud. We have headphones on all day every day. They're like, what are you trying to ruin our ears? But honestly, like, I can't hear it.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's going to be the other way where kids are like, turn it up. Right, right. What else? Well, speaking of TV, our home improvement shows making our homes boring. According to a new study, home improvement shows like those on HGTV are causing all houses. They're causing all houses to look the same. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:42 I didn't know if I heard that. Yeah, the building roots. Amy's sister's show, yes. Because these shows tend to focus on like what's wrong with the house and people then are afraid to take risks and they're decorating, which means homes are starting to lack. any uniqueness. Why are you angry? No, do you roll your eyes? Yes, and she did it.
Starting point is 00:32:01 No, I'm just kidding. Like she's personally offended. It is interesting now. I'll send this article to my sister and be like, hey, spice things up. Yeah. Well, that sounds like do it naked. I'll be honest with you how you said that. What else?
Starting point is 00:32:11 Luke Combs surprised patients at a children's hospital in North Carolina with tickets to his show this weekend. And here's a nurse giving the good news to a kid in the hospital. Request a lot of awesome country songs. as we jam out to country music. Okay, so I hope next Friday you don't have any plans because we would love to send you
Starting point is 00:32:33 to the Luke Colm's concert. Oh. Hey, kid, you got a fast car. That's cool. That kid, that's awesome. Yeah, his mom was saying that her son was speechless, which is probably why you can hear him.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Don't say that the Dan and Shea song. Don't get that mixed up with Luke. That was Amy's pile of story. Okay, we get a free Eddie. Eddie and Abby are heading up. They're going up north, about an hour to skydive, jump out of a plane. This might be the last time. Wait, wait, what?
Starting point is 00:33:02 The last time, what? I'd jump out of a plane? I just want to leave the last. Because Eddie's leaving right now. Are we going to hug? I just want to touch you one final time. We should say goodbye. Just in case.
Starting point is 00:33:11 One final touch, okay? Hey, I just want to tell you guys, I love you all, right? Abby, anything you want to say to us? Yeah, thank you for everything. You're welcome. It's been fun. It has been fun. We don't make it back.
Starting point is 00:33:21 But no, we're going to do great. All right. You guys have good time. Thank you, man. We'll see on the other side. And there they go, Abby and Eddie to skydive. We'll check back in with them in an hour or so. It's time for the good news.
Starting point is 00:33:31 With lunchbox. Stay home, there's something good. If you live in North Tata Wando, New York, you probably see 23-year-old James Porter walking down the street pulling his lawn equipment. He has a little cart, and he has his mower, and he drags it everywhere. Why?
Starting point is 00:33:49 Because he's blind, but he's an entrepreneur. He has a lawn mowing and snowblowing business. and one guy was driving by, sees him walking all the time, goes, man, that cart looks like it needs repairs. Does he have a cane or a dog? No, it doesn't have a cane or a dog. Well, if he's blind.
Starting point is 00:34:04 It says nothing about a cane or a dog. I know, but I'm just asking how he's moving around. Maybe he's legally blind, but he can still see a little bit. He is legally blind and cannot operate a motor vehicle. So that tells me he's blind. Right. Well, not needing a cane or a dog. So you can see a little bit.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Can I tell you the one? You can. Go. Yeah, yeah. using a cane, that is maybe the most impressive feat in the history of the world. I agree. Because not only are you like feeling for things, but the sound of things and what you're hitting. Yeah. And then, you know, people have to learn how to use that in necessity.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Yeah. But it's, yeah, it's very hard. I mean, to be out in public, there's like on a public street, like, I can barely not get hit by a car. And they, that's the most unbelievable thing of everything. I know. But that and getting a package overnight. You still obsessed with that? Still obsessed with that?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Okay, all right. But back to James. So, you know, he's like struggling because his mower's kind of broken, the wagon's kind of broken. And this guy, Paul sees him, was like, man, this ain't right. Let me go ahead and buy him a new mower, buy him a new cart. And then he put the word out on social media and drummed up a bunch of new business for him. He just saw him and bought him all that stuff. Yeah, he says the work ethic is the reason.
Starting point is 00:35:14 And here's Paul talking about it. He's doing this pretty hard job towing a trailer with a lawnmower to wee wagon everything on it. And that's not easy, you know. So I see he must be a pretty hard worker. And he got a free mower out of it. That's pretty cool. And he's blind. And he's blind.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And this dude got him a lot of new business because he posted about it on Facebook and social media and said, hey, guys need to hire this man. I'm looking at him now. I think he's blind like I'm blind. Oh. If I didn't wear glasses. Oh, so it's kind of like a half blind. Like I can't get a driver's license. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 But not half blind. Legally blind is what we call it. Okay. Yes. Yes. Yes. Okay. Is that it?
Starting point is 00:35:51 That's it. That's what it's all about. That is what it's all about. Wait, you said that. Let's tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
