Morning, studio. Morning.
Let's go with the big show up first.
He's the guy that pushes all the buttons that does all
the cameras so you can watch us as we do
the show on YouTube or Facebook. And he's also
funny at the same time. I don't know how he does it. It's Amidextreous.
Here he is. Our video producer, Eddie
everybody.
Amy, listen up.
I am now your agent
because I've gotten two emails
from Warner Brothers talking about
Holiday Harmony, is that your movie?
Yes.
Okay, well they're looking for you.
They say we desperately need Amy.
Does she have a PR company?
Why do they email you?
I have no idea.
Not her.
I don't know, maybe because they think I'm the agent.
This might be a scam.
They know how to get a hold of me.
No, it's got the whole logo on the bottom,
Warner Brothers pictures.
There was also a logo of that tooth,
the toothbrush company that was going to put the thing on the...
Oral B.
Or LB.
Yeah, so okay, talk about it.
What happened?
So they first emailed me and said, hey, are you interested in getting the main character, Annalise something?
I think she's the actress on the show.
But also, we're trying to get a hold of Amy because there's a lot of press to be done about this movie coming out this month.
Where is she?
I just ignored it.
Where is she?
Here I am.
Amy, have you been ignoring their emails?
No.
Dang, you're refusing to do press, Beyonce?
Wow.
Oh, I would love to do press.
That would be awesome.
Yesterday I got another email.
Producer Eddie, help us.
We can't find Amy.
Where is Amy Brown?
She needs to do press for this show.
It's how, listen, how did they even find me to play this role in the first place?
It sounds like, you know, people aren't communicating.
So, Bones, here's my idea.
Go ahead.
I'm the agent at this point.
They're emailing me about Amy.
What do I do?
Do I say like, all right, Amy's tough to get right now.
How bad do you want her?
No, I think you just forward it to Amy.
Oh, that's it.
That'll be good.
That's not really what an agent does anyway.
You find work, and then you get paid, and then you take 10%.
Oh, okay.
You didn't find it, nor is she getting paid for the press.
Yeah, but...
But thank you for letting her know.
Yeah, Amy, they're looking for you.
Go do some press work for this movie.
All right, up next.
He does the cringiest of stuff.
Sometimes on purpose.
Sometimes not.
Everybody clap your hands for lunchbox.
Here we is.
Well, I'm coming to you today because I need work to pay for something.
And so this is a nominal fee.
It's just a month per month's subscription.
It's $20 a month.
And it's my blue checkmark on Twitter.
we're talking about this yesterday.
Yeah, we talked about this yesterday, how Elon Musk wants to charge people $20 a month to keep that blue checkmark.
And listen, this is a benefit to the company for me to have a blue checkmark.
So I feel like it is their responsibility to pay the $20 a month because it's good advertising for the company and our show.
And people aren't out there posing as me, you know, scamming people.
And so it's a good look for the company if I have a blue checkmark.
So I need you guys to pay $20 a month.
I'm worried the company's not even going to pay for the Bobby Vone show when.
if that's the case.
Oh, yeah.
That would be the priority.
No, no, it's all of us.
I think they should pay for...
I'm not going to ask for the 20 bucks if I keep mine.
I'll pay for it myself and that'll probably set the precedent for everybody else.
Okay, well, you don't have to, but if the company then pays for it, then they're going to go, well, we own it.
And they already kind of do, but not fully.
They're going to go, okay, we're paying for it.
So, okay, now post this.
So it's up to you.
I mean, I'm sure you could get that 20 bucks paid for a month, but you're going to have to give up some ownership.
Heck, I'll pay for it.
But I can tell you what a tweet.
No, I ain't going to let you tell me what a tweet.
Hey, it's business.
My tweet is going to be, Bobby is great.
Bobby is awesome.
Bobby is amazing.
I don't want to do that all day.
I wish you would, though.
That made me feel good.
All right, up next, here she is.
She'll be starring.
She's got a few lines.
Well, that depends.
In Holiday Harmony, coming on HBO Max on Thanksgiving Day.
Here she is Amy, everybody.
Okay, so I had to go to the airport, and I was trying to get to arrivals,
but somehow I accidentally ended up in the rental car area.
But you were driving.
Yeah, I was...
Okay, got it.
You turned on the wrong road.
And I turned and I thought, okay, well, I'll just do a shortcut
through the rental car area and loop back around.
Well, the shortcut landed me with all the rental cars.
So then in order to exit without having to drive over those little spiky things,
I had to wait in line behind everybody else renting a car
and then convince the person working in the booth that this was my car
and I wasn't stealing a rental because I had no paperwork.
Did they think for a second?
Oh yeah, they had to go get
They had to get somebody else involved
I had to look for my
I needed registration, license
You have to prove your you
Insurance, I had to show all these things
And I'm like, this is my car
Well, hold on, we're gonna need to verify
We'll be right back
They can't actually hold you
Can you just drive off?
You got spikes.
No, there's gates and spikes.
No, no, no, the spikes are
The spikes are the other way
If you back out.
But it is scary though
Because I'm always like, do I pull forward?
The only thing's scarier is driving
To get an oil change over the hole
Oh, that is scary.
Both are really scary.
Very.
Yes, but you got out okay?
Yeah, but it was a 20-minute delay.
That's so much for a shortcut.
I know, right?
Just keep that in mind next time you try to detour through rental car areas.
Yeah, we wouldn't have done that.
No, I did not, but I thought it was funny.
They thought I was trying to steal a car.
From Mount Pine, Arkansas, he used to have long, curly hair,
and most would say his IQ is very rare.
Bobby Bones.
Thank you very much.
So we have a guy that has been on this.
show before and he's trying to catch the foxes in our backyard. So we have a decent size little plot
of land and six, seven foxes that live there that mess with the dog. There's all these dead
animals that they drag in. It's kind of gross. And we don't want to kill them. So we hired this guy
to come out, trap them and put them back in the woods. And there's been some difficulty because
these foxes are pretty tough to catch. They say sly as a fox, right? They do. So I think is Brian
Swanson from complete animal removal. He was on.
breaking Bobby bones with me. And again, he does it
in a way where the animals live.
And so he's trying to catch the foxes. They have cameras that they
put on the cages to see what
animals are coming in. And I'm going to have him back on, maybe Monday.
I'm not sure. Guys, there's
so many animals. Like, not just foxes?
Are there bears in your back? I don't want to spoil it, but I will
say this. I got a video of a bobcat.
Oh, yeah, dude. A bobcat. A bobcat.
That's amazing. And there are bigger, more
ferocious animals than even the bobcat.
Mountain lions? Well, I'm going to hold
and let him.
But I have videos of them.
A moose.
Zebras?
Chiraph.
To a bar.
Bobby's house.
But it's like a, yeah, it's like a hillbilly safari, for sure.
Because of all the videos we have of these animals in our, and there's a, he sent me the video of the bobcat.
He was walking up to the cage going, what's up with this?
And then walking off.
That's amazing.
Wow.
Because I don't live deep in the middle of the woods.
No, not at all.
So that's what's up.
But we haven't, we've caught a lot of weird animals, but no foxes yet.
Wow, man.
That's crazy.
Are ghosts showing up on the video?
Ghost dogs?
Amy, you're crazy.
Amy, come on.
We tell her she's crazy.
She's not just stood by it for years.
Time to open up the mailbag.
You send an email and we read it on the air.
It's something we call Bobby's mailbag.
Hello, Bobby Bones.
I need some advice.
We are empty nesters, and I love to have my nieces over.
I don't wear jewelry, but my husband bought me some earrings.
A nice ring.
And that ring has my initials on it.
About two months ago, my nieces came over to spend the weekend with us.
They left. They were gone.
I looked everywhere. I could not find the jewelry.
I had my suspicion that my older niece, who is 16, may have taken something.
I did not say anything.
This past weekend, we had a birthday party for my husband, and my nieces came to spend the weekend with us.
When I left, I noticed another piece of jewelry was missing.
My pink quartz crystal was gone.
Again, I have a feeling my niece took it.
Only my nieces slept and stayed where my mom.
crystals were. Should I let my sister know? Do I ask my niece or do I not say anything at all?
I'm confused. I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year and she will be coming over. Thank you,
a brokenhearted aunt in California. First of all, you put all the jewelry in the safe before they get
over there. Yeah, I'll learn from the first time. That's what we're going to do first. We're going to put
all the jewelry in the safe. Amy, you want to hit this one first? Well, I think that you go to your
sister. It's a hard conversation, but you just say, hey. Oh, man, she's going to be so offended
I know.
I mean, but do you go to the 16-year-old?
I mean, this is a really special gift that's from her husband
and then her pink crystal or whatever that thing is.
I just think that maybe there's a hard conversation that has to be had,
and I think you start with the mom because you don't want to go to the 16-year-old.
How would you say?
I'm the mom.
Say it to me.
I picture myself going to my sister.
And I feel like I'm close enough to her to be like, hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Sister.
Sister, this is very uncomfortable.
for me to say, but I don't really know
what is going on.
Have you noticed anything weird
with, you know, what's the daughter?
My honor roll student? Yeah, well.
Who just one church member of the year?
I definitely don't. I'm not accusing
at all. I'm just opening
the conversation of this ring is gone
and the last time I saw it was when
she was there. I knew when her mom died, she said
you were a worst of the piece of crap
that she was right. No, no, no, no.
That's not what I'm saying. Okay, never mind. I got to go.
Yeah, that's it.
Like, you know, it depends on your relationship with your sister.
That's for sure.
I feel like I could definitely talk to my sister about it, but I get it if you can't.
I mean, yeah, what do you do?
What do you say, Bobby?
You just ignore it?
First I look on her Instagram is if she's wearing any of my jewelry.
Like on her social media, just to see.
You try to get in a layer deeper.
And then I would also go, hey, sister,
anything you're stolen from your house?
Like, somebody, I don't know how far they live apart from each other.
Somebody's been stealing stuff at the house.
Or have any of the girls mentioned they borrowed any of my jewelry?
trying to get it back. Maybe that doesn't put it on the girls as hard.
If they go to them and say, hey, she said you borrowed something,
maybe not as embarrassed to give it back.
You know, it is uncomfortable.
And I'm sad that our mom said you're a piece of crap.
I know, me too.
You're really a good daughter.
I honestly had no idea to you.
Oh, good job, guys.
I don't think you go to the 16-year-old, though.
No.
No, no, no.
The first thing you do is you lock up the jewelry for next time.
The second thing you do is you go, hey, they came over.
We're missing a bunch of stuff.
Do you know anything about that at all?
Or you go straight metal detector and hit up the 16 year old's room
While she's at school
That's the next level
Not bad
You break into the house as the aunt
I don't know
I'm just trying to think of a way
I look on social media and see if I see any pictures with the jewelry
I search the house like crazy
Even ask your husband because you know how many times I've been like
Oh somebody stole something
Oh yeah
And then my wife's like
No it's in this counter
And I'm like dang it you're right
I do that a lot
Or I'm like somebody stole the car
I know I was parked here at the mall
Somebody stole the car call the cop
She goes
We were parked in C not B
Oh, crap.
I knew it.
That's probably my first instinct is to do that.
Then secondly, check social.
Then three, go to the sister.
Be like, hey, I'm missing some stuff.
Four.
Metal detector.
Four.
Okay, metal detector.
The cops.
Yeah, five, scared straight, taking the prison.
That's a tough one.
But eventually, you've got to have the conversation.
Check the boxes first.
Do some investigating yourself.
And make sure you didn't lose it at your own house.
Good point.
Because that has happened to me too many times.
All right, that's the mailbag.
On the phone, it's Steve in Alabama.
Hey, Steve, what's up, buddy?
What's up, man?
How you doing?
Doing pretty good.
What can I do for you?
So lunchbox is delusional.
Like, how do you not, why does he think that people always want to want money and things like that?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, because he wants it.
He then feels everybody else wants it, too.
He's not able to separate his desires from the fact that other people may have different desires.
I've got to understand that other people have different mindset.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a fire truck.
How delusional is that?
You wanted to be a literal fire truck, not a fireman, a fire truck.
That's weird.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wanted to be a fire truck.
I can't be a fire truck.
You know what I'm playing?
Well, lunchbox wants to be a millionaire.
Yeah.
And so, I mean, I don't understand why you say I'm delusional, though, man,
because if I offered you, I don't know what you do for a living,
but if I gave you a $50,000 raise, would you take it?
Yes.
Oh, wait a minute.
You can't be about money, man.
Oh, how dare you!
I mean, it's the same thing.
Hey, Yosemite, hold on one second.
But he's, I'm just crazy for one money.
And then he says, and he calls up to say he's different.
There's a difference in being someone who, that's all they want and the number one thought.
Because right now, do I really want a chicken fry steak with white gravy right now with mashed potatoes and green beans and fried ochre?
Right now.
I'm guessing yes.
I mean, I'm not thinking about it all the time right now, but I love it.
What somebody brought it to me right now and said here, which I eat it right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I'm not only thinking about it.
It's not my number one private.
But it's somebody gave it.
Heck yeah.
I'd be like, let's go.
But he thinks about it.
Everybody thinks about it.
Everybody thinks about how their life would be better if they had more money.
Yes, but his point.
When his car breaks down, he's like, number one on the list.
Okay.
It's number one on everybody's list.
That's you saying that.
Except for like Jeff Bezos.
He doesn't have to care.
Because he has money.
Yeah.
So it's not number one on his list.
If someone offered you a million dollars, but you couldn't see your family for three years.
Which family?
What do you mean?
Do you have multiple families?
No, you're home right now.
Your children and your wife.
A million dollars, three kids.
Think about it.
He is.
Three kids, no wife.
For three years?
For three years, a million bucks.
Three years, a long time, man.
You're thinking a lot.
Let's go two million.
Okay, two million.
Give me three million I'm in.
No, no, two millions to offer.
Two million bucks.
No wife, no kids for three years.
I'd do two million.
Yeah, because I'd come back in their life when they're like just starting school.
And so it'd be perfect.
Like, they're not going to remember this time.
anyway. Like you don't usually have memories before you're five, right? So they won't even remember me being gone.
Yeah, but there's like bonding and attachment. A lot of things that happen in these formative years that are important to you.
It's very true, Amy. And your child. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Okay. But I'll buy him a new bike when I see him.
What about three million, but you can't tell them why you're gone. You just disappear and come back three years later.
Okay. Okay. No, but they just know dad's missing. That's okay. Daddy left them. They'll just put up posters.
and then I'll come back
You're going to torture them like that?
No, the kids won't even notice.
But your wife?
The wife will get, when I'd show her the $3 million, she'll be like, oh, that's pretty cool.
What if she remarries?
Oh, like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Probably not going to find someone like me.
But next up, you know.
Yeah, and then he adopts the kids.
But you would do that for $3 million?
You're out.
I think so, yeah.
And just disappear and not give them any sense of where you are.
Yeah, for three years.
Because three years ago by like that, think about where you were three years ago,
Can you believe it's already been three years?
No.
It's like, wow, it goes by so fast.
I love how he answers all our questions.
I mean.
Like three years ago, you didn't even know Caitlin.
Right?
One, two.
I was just about to meet her.
See, that's what I'm saying.
Look, look how quick your life has changed in three years.
Everything goes by so fast.
No, to your point, look, your kids and your wife,
their life will change drastically in the three years.
I realized that when I got halfway through my point, Amy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Hey, Steve, appreciate that call, buddy.
Yeah. Hold on, Steve. Where is money on your list? Your priority list. Where is it?
It's not like that. My family's more important than money, dude. Your kids are more important than money.
And my kids are six years old. They will remember everything.
Yeah, you couldn't do it. If they were three, though, you'd be able to do it. They wouldn't remember.
No. Not that. I meet those time with them, man. Those special moments, those precious moments are important.
Steve, I appreciate that call.
fits they throw. I mean, that's just really
like... Steve, thank you. We really
appreciate you listening. Hope you have an awesome day.
You're delusional.
His parting shot. He jabs them
as he's hanging up. All right, there's Steve.
Thanks, buddy. Come on! It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Tell me something good.
About a month ago on TikTok, Isaiah Garza
went viral when he treated a
100-year-old World War II veteran William Good
to a trip to Disney World.
Like, oh, look at this. I'm going to surprise you and
take you on all these rides and everybody's like, oh, this is amazing.
Well, Isaiah Garza is added again.
He found that William's favorite football team is the Los Angeles Rams.
So he surprised him.
Tickets, got to meet the players, shake hands, take pictures, and even got an autograph
from his favorite player on his cemetery jersey.
Oh.
Or not a cemetery jersey?
I don't know what that means.
Are you sure that's the word?
I mean, I don't think it's cemetery jersey.
And you want to help him read that word?
Because I don't know what it is.
I never heard of a cemetery jersey.
Oh, centenarian.
Oh, God.
So 100 year old jersey.
Oh, his, because he's 100?
Centennial.
So he got one.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, well, Cooper Cup signed the jersey and the 100-year-old dude was over the moon.
I mean.
I thought it was his cemetery jersey like that's what he wanted to be.
A hundred, you know.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
So I guess he got the jersey because he turned 100.
Yeah.
Okay, that's what the...
Could also be confused for a cemetery jersey.
Because it's coming soon.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like a foreshadowed.
But William said he was on cloud nine
getting to go to the game and meet the players.
That's good.
It's good lunch, folks.
I like it.
Got there, man.
You got there.
We finished it.
We felt good, too, didn't we, everybody?
Yeah.
Okay, that's what it's all about.
That was tell me something good.
Somebody sent me a message asking for a model, for a shoot.
Oh, yeah, what do you need?
Well, I want to read you this.
My name is Jennifer from da-da-da-da.

I'm in. That's a scam. Yeah. I didn't a scammer. Is it a scam alert? That's scam alert, 100%.
Why? It says free model coach available fund request.
Nudity, no. Compensation paid.
Time 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
And the shoot is November 11th and November 12th.
How is that a scam?
They're not asking for anything.
They're just asking you to send some modeling pictures.
But they don't even know what, like, they don't know what they're getting.
Well, I think they're asking.
Yeah, you submit it.
And then they select.
This is oral be all over again.
It does feel a little bit that way, but I wanted to pass along.
Lunchbox, would you like to have this?
Absolutely.
I will send in my latest work.
I got a video of me and Bat Out of Hell, and I got some of my Zoom classes, or I can just do pictures.
What do they need?
Well, it's a model shoe.
They don't care about.
Probably photos.
Yeah, do you have any head shots?
Yeah.
You do have a head shots?
I do.
Modeling shots?
Yeah.
On the beach.
Great.
In the sand.
Ray, what about you?
You still modeling?
Yeah, I can, probably in a week.
I need to drop another 20.
You can drop 20 in a week?
In a week.
Well, I'm going to leave this for you guys.
All right.
I'll email.
For this modeling.
Keep me up to date on how the process is.
I will. I'll just say, hey, man, I'm really interested in. What do you need?
You ever done any modeling?
No, not any modeling.
Why'd you say it like that?
What else have you done that would have been closed?
I was just trying to think, have I done any modeling? No, I haven't.
Have you done any paid acting?
Yeah, paid.
Yes. Friday night lights.
Okay, you're an extra.
Yeah, I was paid.
I got paid for that. So, yes, I'm a thespian.
Do you feel like you just haven't been discovered yet?
And you could be a model, no problem?
Yes, I think I have the look if people want to,
put me in magazines or runways or whatever because you can transform.
You just put some clothes on.
I know I wear hoodies and I'm, oh, you can't be a model.
But when I dress up, people are like, dang, you should be a model.
It's because it's, no, nobody's models.
I look like the, I look like the mannequins in the freaking stores when I wear clothes.
Same skin color.
It's just because it's so drastic.
But that's what they want.
Like the, they don't want orange looking ray like oompa lupa.
They don't want spray.
Ray.
Dang.
No, no, but you're saying I'm pale, but you don't want spray tan people when
they're modeling. You want the clothes to do
the speaking, not the weird skin tone.
Well, I'm going to give you this.
Hit it up. Okay. See if you can do it. You should do
some shots. Eddie, can you get your camera
out? No, I'm not doing it. Dude, do a
modeling shoot with him.
For free? Yeah. Yes.
But you have to do, like, boxers. That's fine?
You need to do it like all the different stuff. That's cool.
It says no nudity
in the thing. Boxers aren't nudity.
Remember the time Ray went down to someone's basement? Some guy tricked
him into doing modeling shots and Ray was in his underwear.
That was decades ago. In his bed. In his bed.
In his bed and the guy gave him drinks
And it was for Express
And then it never came out
Yeah I mean I've changed a lot
Since then I learned a lot
Good
What'd you learn?
You don't believe Craigslist ads
And just when they say a business
Doesn't necessarily mean they work for that business
Express
Did you get paid for that one?
No
They said it was the potential to get put in stuff
So everybody's gonna try and do that
Well let us know lunchbox
You can't wait to see your career blossom
Guys if I have to leave this show for modeling
Sorry
I could be the next just
Del Bunchin.
Okay.
Interesting.
Probably not.
How many things could you leave the show for at this point?
Could you keep threatening us?
Let's see.
Lottery.
Acting.
Mm-hmm.
Modeling.
Reality TV.
Yep.
I think that's it.
And of those four, which is probably going to happen first.
Acting.
Second lottery.
Well, then the other two are gone.
Third.
The odds of that.
Yeah.
Are you laughing?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
Third would probably be
modeling and then reality TV.
Well, good luck, I'll give you this.
Thank you.
All right, let's play.
Luke Bryan knocking boots.
It's been good having you on the show
for all these years on lunchbox.
This is the start of it.
That's why you hired me is because you needed women
to go to the website.
I did not.
And they do not.

Hey, everyone.
It's Cal Penn.
I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and I-Heart Audio Book Club.
This week on the podcast, I am.
sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary,
massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science.
And what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth?
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat
and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
And it's like, okay, yo, yeah, yo, is this indulgent?
And I really thought about it.
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust
the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me, and I left it on the
mic.
That's great.
Because it served the story.
People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end.
It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

Today is November 2nd.
I have a game we were supposed to play yesterday on November 1st.
It's a good game. I want to play it today.
We also were going to tell you what was in Amy's mail if it's been illegal.
Now, we're not moving it to a different day.
We have to move it to later in the show because there could be kids listening at this hour.
Oh.
Oh, kids can't hear this?
It's probably not the most appropriate for children to hear.
Wow, what is this?
Yeah, so, yeah, I know.
But Amy was delivered something.
We've not talked about it for a year.
We will do it this morning.
It just won't be right now because kids are going to school right now.
So we're going to play the game instead.
Pivot.
Now we have Liz in Ohio who's on the phone.
You may remember Liz because she came on.
She did not win the Bobby feud.
And we said, Liz, we'll let you come play another game.
Oh, yeah.
Everybody say hi to Liz.
Hi, Liz.
Hi, morning, studio.
Morning.
All right, Liz, we're going to play famous first.
Since today is November 2nd.
You don't want to do famous seconds?
Eddie, why do you put the wrinkle in there?
I know.
We already had it all done.
For example, I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana
is the first line of what Garth Brooks saw.
Oh, yeah, I got it.
Go ahead.
Call him Baton Rouge.
I spent last night in the arms of a girl in Louisiana.
So, famous first.
This is cool.
So, Liz, you can pick a player, and if they win, you win.
Would you like Amy Lunchboxer Eddie?
Don't let you down this time.
You know, I was going to go with Amy this time because she totally did it last time.
But I know Eddie is very good at music game.
It's not just a music game.
Not a music.
And I also got it right.
Calling Baton Rouge.
Let her talk, guys.
Go ahead, Liz.
It's totally a music game.
It's the first person's a song.
No.
No.
It's a lot of first.
Yeah, who are you going with?
Okay.
Well, then I'll go with Amy.
Amy, you just talked her into it, so you have to win.
Yeah.
A lot of pressure.
All right, write your answer down, guys.
There are seven of these.
Who was the first person on the moon?
Famous first.
One boy.
Definitely not a song.
Could be.
First.
Let me know when you're in.
In for the win.
Let's go to Amy first.
Neil Armstrong.
Lunchbox?
Neil Armstrong.
Eddie?
Neil Armstrong.
Correct.
Question number two.
Who is the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean?
I'm in.
In.
I'm in for the win.
Amy?
Amelia Earhart.
Lunchbox?
Amelia Earhart.
Eddie?
Airhart.
Okay.
We'll take it.
Good?
Oh.
Question number three.
On what state's license plate would you find the slogan
First in flight.
I'm in.
In.
I'm in for the win.
Lunchbox.
North Carolina.
Eddie?
North Carolina.
Amy.
Lived there for five years, North Carolina.
Correct.
Amy had the inside track on that one.
In 1903, Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright
completed the world's first successful, controlled, powered flight
near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
Next question.
In what city were the first Olympics held?
I'm in.
In.
I'm in for the win.
Eddie.
Athens.
Greece.
Amy?
Athens.
Lunchbox?
Athens.
Wow, you're all right.
I almost went Olympia.
Good job.
Or Rome?
I thought that'd be one that made people would have guessed.
Nobody's missed.
We got three more.
Come on.
You guys are playing pretty good here.
What oil tycoon was the first American billionaire?
What?
Oil?
What oil tycoon was the very first ever American billionaire?
I know this.
But I'm in.
Oil tyk. Okay.
I don't know anything about oil, so I have no idea.
Lunchbox?
T-Boon Picken's.
T-Boon?
T-Boon? Is that right?
Amy, what do you think?
Big Oklahoma State guy.
That's the only thing I know. I have no idea what he does.
Rest in peace. Not right. Good guess, though.
Was he dead? I think T-McPings are dead.
I'll rest of peace, man.
Maybe you look that up, Mike.
Just in case. Eddie? I'm going to go with Rockefeller.
Oh, shoot.
Amy?
Is that oil? Is that oil ticket?
What do you have?
I don't know, billionaire? Billionaire.
I have Jerry Jones.
That's a good guess.
I mean, I'm no idea.
That's good.
The answer is John D. Rockefeller.
Yeah!
I have no idea who that is.
No, no.
Hey, old T-Boon Pickens died in 2019 at 91 years old.
Did Rockefeller become a billionaire?
Amy, don't know.
Just got a trivia question here.
Rockefeller.
The next one.
What institution of American music began with its first broadcast as the WSM Barn Dance in 1925?
What institution?
of American music began its first broadcast as the WSM Barn Dance in 1925.
I'm in.
I'm in.
I don't even understand the question.
Oh, my God.
I'll give it to you one more time.
Thank you.
What institution of American music began with its first broadcast titled WSM Barn Dance in the year of 1925.
Okay.
Lunchbox?
Dick Clark Rocking New Year's Eve.
Eddie?
It's 1925 and you're listening to the grand old Opry.
Amy?
The Opry.
Correct.
Not Dick Clark's, uh, okay.
I don't think old Dick was rocking so hard in 25.
I may have been around then.
Okay, well, here's what's up.
Lunchbox, you can't win.
I know, but you can play.
I'll still guess.
Eddie, if you get it right, you win.
Come on.
Walk this lady, this would be awesome.
And then Amy convinced her.
She was going with you.
Yeah, there is a lot of pressure on you to nail this one right here.
Sorry.
You're already apologizing?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, for putting her in this situation.
Take a deep breath, guys.
Final question.
Who was the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence?
The first person.
Got it.
Oh, man.
Amy's thinking about it.
We're doing famous firsts.
Amy, you got to come through here.
I know.
Come on, Amy, no pressure.
I know.
I'm like, okay, was he the first or was he just like the biggest, you know?
Are you in?
I'm thinking.
Okay, you have three seconds.
I have someone written down, but I'm like,
am I going to change it last minute?
No, you're in.
Okay, I'm in.
Lunchbox.
That's easy.
John Hancock.
Okay, Eddie?
John Hancock.
Amy?
Annie was the biggest.
John Hancock.
Well, but you didn't want him to guess that because you'll lose automatically.
Yeah, I got it, Eddie.
What can I do?
Eddie wins.
Yeah, I got it.
Bonus question.
The first and the largest was John Hancock.
There he is.
Eddie went seven for seven.
Is he good?
Liz.
Why do you know
I don't know, Liz.
Liz, you were going with Eddie?
And Amy, like...
I was.
I was so...
I know.
For the wrong reason
but I had the right choice.
Oh, well.
Oh, well.
Amy talked you out of it.
She said, do not go with him.
Because I felt...
I only missed one.
Liz, here's the thing,
because I feel like you were
done a little wrong there.
We're going to play another game
at some other point
soon with her again.
Give her one more chance.
Oh, my goodness.
And if she gets to pick us,
maybe she should pick me.
But here's the thing.
Yeah,
because last time I think she picked Eddie.
and I ended up winning. This time she picked me
and Eddie won, so maybe she should go with lunchbox.
Oh yeah, do that. See what happens.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Liz. We'll play again soon, okay?
Hey, thanks guys. All right, bye-bye. And there goes Liz.
Down goes Liz.
And now a voicemail from last night.
Oh my gosh, I'm sitting on my couch just stumbling through Instagram
and I noticed that Caitlin is verified on
Instagram and Eddie is still not.
And I just wanted to point that out.
Love you, Eddie. I'm rooting for.
for you, but we need the details
on this, please. I have tried so hard to get
Eddie verified. What the crap! And also
we did not try to get Caitlin verified.
There were people posing as her, faking
profiles as her, and if you had been reported,
and they went to her page and just blue checked her.
We never requested blue checkmark for her.
You know, they requested, like,
news stories for me, so I had to
Google news stories about me and
sent it to them, and then they said, no, that's not good enough.
I sent them like 10 of them. There are artists
that have, like, 500 followers that have a
blue check mark. I don't get it. Lunchbox has a blue
checkmark. Yep. But you understand
that. I think he paid for that, though.
No, he didn't. I told you what happened with mine.
Someone from Instagram reached out
and said, hey, you want the blue checkmark?
I said, yeah. They said, boom, checkmark.
Now, I do get DMs that
say like, hey, you want to get verified? No, don't click those.
Okay, okay, all right, I was wondering about that. I was wondering about that.
And I did send a message off for you, Eddie. Don't worry.
Still waiting to hear back, though.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So everybody would like to just lay in their bed and
fall asleep right away. But the struggle is real.
Right now? Yeah, that'd be nice. Right now especially. Oh, yeah.
So that's why we share a lot of sleep stories. And researchers are saying that mood boosting
music and familiar podcasts will calm your brain's anxiety and it'll help you unwind.
And then the result of that is falling asleep faster.
I fall asleep to a podcast every night. It used to be the television and my wife, that was new to
her. She didn't fall asleep with the TV on. And so I was like,
Okay, let me try to find something more in the middle.
So I put my phone on the little table next to my head.
I play a podcast.
It's either, it's the same one every night of the two.
It's either Bill Simmons or Ryan Rosillo.
Their sports podcast, but also they both talk pretty calmly.
You know, listen, then I fall asleep.
How far do you get through it?
Great question.
Sometimes five minutes.
Oh, wow.
Sometimes if I'm hearing like segment three, I'm like, oh, boy, I'm not falling asleep.
Sometimes five episodes.
Like, it'll start to kind of get blurry in a way of, I start to picture my
myself in the podcast and that's how I know I'm falling asleep.
Oh, wow.
It's almost like inception a little bit.
Yeah.
Then I'm walking on the street with Bill Simmons.
I'm like, hey, man.
Now you know you're asleep.
Am I dreaming or is this real?
Yeah, but yeah, the podcast thing works for me.
Well, lunchbox's dream is for sale and it's only in St. Louis.
So, like, he could go.
Oh, I saw.
Wait, is this the house?
This is the house.
It is literally his dream.
It's unbelievable.
It's very expensive.
But also, what's in the house?
Tell him about it.
Okay.
Well, it's 27,000 square feet.
There's five bedrooms, six and a half.
baths, but the big thing is
there's an 18-car garage.
The bigger thing is... Awesome.
The garages are filled with
Lamborghinis. And you keep them. What?
They come with the house. There's also
a car wash at the house, mechanics
workshop, and a hydraulic lift.
That is awesome. Yeah, it only cost you 15 million.
That's the price. It is a bargain,
they say. The Lamborghinis
are in the garage. That is crazy. So why are they just getting
rid of their lambos like that? That's nuts. Maybe they're desperate. I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Or maybe somebody died and they're like, okay, let's just sell every, we don't want to take care of any of this.
Because I would imagine it's expensive to keep up a Lamborghini.
How about insuring a Lamborghini?
Right.
You spend all your money on getting it.
You can't pay for insurance.
But it is on the market at the right time.
Like, the lottery's crazy right now.
And if lunchbox wins, he could go get that.
Mm-hmm.
And if he grows wings out of his butt, he'll also fly over there and get a deal, too.
Carrie Underwood fans are saying that they may riot after the CMA.
if Carrie does not win, Entertainer of the Year.
That's not good.
But also, yeah, they should not do that.
I know.
She's won it.
I don't think this is her year for Entertainer of the Year.
She's won it before, I believe.
Right, Mike?
Yeah.
In recently, I know she won the ACM for Entertainer of the Year.
I don't think it's her year for this.
I think it's either Morgan Wall and Luke Combs.
That's who should win it this year.
But don't riot.
Yeah, I know.
I'm like, why is this our reaction to everything now?
It's like if you don't get what you want or it doesn't happen for you.
then they say here, or we, E-O-T-Y, or we riot.
And then another person said, she better win or else.
And I'm like, that's just the internet strength.
What is the or else?
People thinking they're strong because they're on the internet.
All right, is that it?
Yeah, but maybe that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
Over the past few years, the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs have become very good football teams.
And they've also become rival.
And for the most part, rivalries can be negative, but fans of the bills and the chiefs have turned it into something very positive by donating money to charity whenever the two teams play each other.
When the bills and chiefs played earlier this month, fans of the bills donated almost $10,000 to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas.
And even though the Chiefs lost the game, the Kansas Children's Hospital posted a message in their social saying, in our book, No Losers, a friendly rivalry is a touchdown.
because so much money went to a great cause.
So the two teams are so good this year.
There's a chance at meeting the playoffs,
which is what we hope,
because they meant the playoffs last year
as an epic game.
And every time they play each other,
both fan bases kind of race
to see who can donate the most money, the fastest.
That's cool.
Which I think is pretty cool.
I'm shocked that the bill's fan base is doing that.
Why, they're good.
They just don't do tables.
They're crazy.
They're usually drunk and crazy.
They're wild game day.
But everything leading up to it, though,
seems to be pretty good folks.
Yeah, I like it.
All right.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Checking the voicemail.
Here's when we got late last night.
Hi, I have a genuine question for lunchbox.
Is there anything that somebody else can do that would make him proud or happy?
It seems like he only ever wants good things to come to him.
And I've never actually seen him be happy for somebody else.
It's just jealousy and bitterness.
And he's just upset that it didn't happen to him.
So genuine question.
I'd just love to know.
What would make Lunchbox happy for somebody else?
Lunchbox, what has happened to Amy, Eddie, or myself in the past five years
where you've been genuinely happy for us for something that we've been able to accomplish?
Oh, easy.
Amy and Eddie both adopted children.
I was happy for them on that.
Bobby got Breaking Bobby Bones and he got the snake in the grass,
and I was happy for him on both of those.
You didn't have any jealousy?
No, I just was really hoping that we would get put on those shows.
So you were happy because you thought there was something in it for you.
Yeah.
I mean, I mean, but I was happy for you.
Right.
But was the root of that happiness because it could be for you.
Yeah.
Especially on the new one.
Yeah, snake in the grass where you say we're going to be on season two.
I didn't say that.
I don't even know if there's going to be a season two yet.
When do we find out?
I don't know.
Do we need to call someone?
I've called everybody I can call.
You did say, though, we'd be on future.
He didn't guarantee.
No, no, that's not what I said.
I remember hearing something like that.
What was the quote, Eddie.
What I said was if it comes back, or if it was rated high or something, I remember.
We had a good chance to get you guys on two or three.
I always said two or three.
Yeah, okay.
I mean, that's a lot of pressure to get ratings for season two.
I mean, we did it for season one, so I think we should be rewarded in season two.
I don't know the season two is coming out.
I have no idea.
It was a very expensive show to make, and it did well, but there's always that you have to judge.
I think they're going to put it on Peacock this month.
And maybe they judge after that.
I don't know.
Okay.
All right, let's go over to Amy and get in the morning corny.
The morning corny.
What did the turkey say to the turkey hunter on Thanksgiving Day?
What?
Quack, quack.
So he wouldn't get shot?
He's acting like a duck.
Oh, quack, quark.
That was the morning corny.
It's one of those deep.
You got to think it out jokes.
Don't eat me.
There's a mom.
She's charging her adult children rent to live at home.
instead of helping them save up for a deposit,
what she could do.
Like, live here and save money,
which she's not doing.
She's not charging them a lot,
but people are all upset at her
because they're like,
you're the mom,
you should let your kids live for free.
Now, they're not 40,
19, 20, 21, 22 years old.
They're in that range there.
And she is charging them about 200 bucks a month
to live at home.
So I do want to talk to you guys
because who lived at home
after the age of 18?
Me.
Hi.
Eventually.
All that counts.
All that counts.
All that counts.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm moving back in.
Briefly.
For a season.
So I'm going to...
For a little bit.
I'm just going to host this conversation because I moved out at like 17.
You're the opposite of us.
And I was like, got to go.
So, did your parents, after age of 18, Amy, ever charge you rent?
And if so, had you feel about it?
No.
But if my mom had charged me rent, I would...
You can't do it had because...
I would have paid.
I know, but you can't do that because it's easy to say that now.
Okay, but she did not.
Right.
And when did you move back home?
Hmm.
during a season of I think I was just starting the radio show.
How old?
24, 25.
Okay.
And honestly, I took a pay cut.
And then I was in a transition of like also about to get married.
So my mom did me a solid.
Lunchbox.
Yeah, how's it going, Bobby?
You're up.
What do you think about this?
You lived home after age of 18.
What years?
Yeah, I moved back in when I was 22 until I was like 25 or 26.
Oof.
Oh, me.
Three or four years in your 20s.
That was a long time.
Did you live in your bedroom, your kid bedroom?
Yeah.
No, I actually lived in my brother's room.
My brother's kid bedroom, that's where I slept.
And the reason is because when I moved to this job,
I took a pay cut from Jason's deli and I couldn't afford rent.
And so my parents didn't charge me rent or else I'd have been homeless because
I wouldn't have been able to afford to live there either because I couldn't pay rent.
So they didn't charge me rent.
I got free food.
I didn't have a curfew.
I made the, you know, so I didn't have to.
You don't have to establish your dominance here.
You were 26.
You live with your parents through your 20s.
That's cool.
Not through my 20s in a little bit of a downfall of my income.
Four years.
Yeah, my income was down for about four years.
Eddie.
Yay.
Hey, Bobby, what's up?
How you feel about this?
Did your parents ever charge you rent after age of 18 and when did you move home?
What years?
So I didn't leave home.
When I graduated high school, I didn't really know I was going to go to college.
So I stayed.
And it was a deal.
My parents said, stay here.
get your basics done at the local college
and you can live at home. That way
money's being saved. So I wanted to
leave, but I just didn't know that I had to apply to
colleges and do all that. They didn't charge you anything?
No, so I lived at home until I was 21
years old. Then I got
accepted to Sam Houston State and I left and I never
looked back. How do you feel about this mom charging
her kids to pay?
So fine? It's terrible. I love it.
It's not terrible. She can do what she
want. They're still able to save money. There's nowhere they
could go live for $200 a month.
I'm fine with her doing this.
if she's doing it because they need to learn a lesson.
Yeah.
If she's doing it because she just needs some cash,
that's also okay because it's her house.
But I feel like she's trying to teach them something.
Like, guys, you can't just live here.
So, but if you do, it's going to cost you a little something.
And I also want to get you ready for what's about to happen.
Absolutely.
And that what parenting is about?
Yes.
Like my brother, he lived at my parents' house until he was 30.
And I told my parents, hey, you have to start charging him rent.
Or he's going to stay here forever.
Did they?
No, but he left eventually.
Until he was 30, man.
I will say my neighbors growing up, they still live at their parents' house.
Like they were in their 40s and 50s and they still lived there.
They never left.
They never left.
See what I'm saying?
Why?
Four kids.
And that's what happens if you don't charge them rent.
Maybe the mom needs jack up a price a little bit.
Like every year, like at an apartment, they raise it because they know you're not going to leave.
So they continue to raise it.
You can add your feedback over on our Facebook page, how you feel about this mom.
200 bucks a month, adult kids.
And you three were lucky.
You're blessed.
We're blessed.
Thank you, mom and dad.
Thank you.
You're blessed.
You're blessed.

everyone, it's Cal Penn. I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and I Heart Audiobook Club. This week on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Ray Porter, the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook Project Hail Mary, massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science. And what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth?
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these seconds.
And it's like, okay, yo, yeah, yo, is this indulgent?
And I really thought about it.
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me and I left it on the mic.
That's great.
Because it served the story.
People will say like, oh my God, I cried at the end.
It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

It's cool or creepy.
They turn their dog they loved into basically a bear skin rug.
Oh, that's creepy.
Oh, that's really creepy.
No, you don't do that to your dog.
Let me read you the story.
And I say this to our listeners, you're not going to find a bigger dog guy than me.
Work with shelters.
Have two dogs now.
I had a dog.
I was my best friend before for 13 years.
Like, love a dog.
when it's like okay who'd want to die in the movie the human or the dog the human every time
kill the human every time before you kill the dog so big dog guy let's talk about it
so a family lost their dog golden retriever that lived a long and happy life and instead of
burying him or having him cremated which is what i do with my last dog and i went to all the
backyards we lived in and spread the ashes they had them turn into a bare skin dog skin rug oh my gosh
A taxidermy place
posted the video of the finished product on Instagram
They said the family wanted him
Preserved as a Pelt
And he was finally ready to be home forever
That's weird
I'm trying to convince myself
And I think everybody mourns differently
And weird doesn't mean wrong
Right because I mean I have a
Cow skin rug in my house
Did you know the cow?
No exactly
I didn't but someone might know
Might have known this cow
No nobody knew the cow
It's a dog
It's just different
I know it's a dog
Yeah, it's just because we're not used to it.
Okay, what if someone had stuffed their dog after it died?
Weird.
That's cool.
No, it's weird.
But is it less weird?
Less weird, yes.
Less weird because you're not standing on it and rubbing your feet on it.
I mean, that's just weird to have your dog.
Guys, I'm telling you should see this because even the top of the dog's head is, I mean, it's like.
No.
When it's a bear skin, you see the bear.
Yeah.
And they're like petting it in the video and its paws have like.
No.
That's so weird.
I will say again, weird doesn't mean wrong.
It is weird.
I couldn't do it.
like it, it makes me feel creepy, but if that's
what helps them more, okay.
Can you imagine you spill something on the dog?
Oh, no, no, no, oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.
The head and the nose. Do you see it? Oh, this is terrible.
The nose is still there. I don't like that. The nose looks like it's squashed on.
You're going to step on that every day? No.
Oh, man. No. I think that's worse to remember your dog.
Be stepped on every day. Just making a towel if you're going to keep it.
And then think about it. The rug's not that big.
Where are you going to put the rug in the bathroom? It's not that big.
No, not the bathroom.
Probably just in a sitting room or something.
Or the dog's favorite room.
Oh, it still has the paws.
That's what I said.
It's like to the dad.
I'm watching them.
No, I just saw the person grab the paw.
I can't do it.
That's too weird.
Does anyone think this is something they would do?
Ray, you guys love your cats?
Yeah, we've thought about not that,
but we kind of want to stuff the cat.
I think stuffing's okay.
I think stuffing feels a little more okay after seeing this.
Yeah.
It's still weird, but I'm pro team stuff more than team this.
We'll put this up on our Facebook or Instagram.
You can go look at it.
It's so weird.
But we all agree, this is universally weird.
Does anyone want to say it's wrong?
No, it's not wrong.
No.
I mean, if the dog's already dead, there's nothing wrong.
But if they kill it just to do this.
That'd also be wrong.
That'd be wrong too.
Okay, make it sure.
Lobby's big.
Stories.
Anybody raking the leaves yet in their yard?
No.
Now, why?
Just leave them.
Too lazy.
Well, this story's not.
for you then. I used to rake leaves. I'd walk around with a rake, knock on the door.
Hello, Miss Smith. Can I rake your leaves today? Well, Bobby, I don't really have much money to do it.
Well, how much do you have, ma'am? Six dollars deal. I'd rake the crap out of those leaves.
And then hopefully, when she had more money, she'd pay me more. Man, I was hustling.
Fall, leaves, summer, mowing. Wow. It only snowed in Arkansas where I was maybe once a year.
when I knew it was going to snow.
What, you're plowing?
No, I never plow.
Building snowman?
No, but you could get salt cheap and you'd salt steps.
Oh, wow.
And I would almost never get paid for that.
But I knew that if the house is near me, if they felt like I took care of them in that,
they would then hire me to take care of them in other ways.
Dang, dude.
That was a deal.
Hustling, you know, to eat and get school clothes.
More surviving.
Like Reba said, I'm a survivor.
Anyway, so they say don't frantically rake your leaves.
If you remove them, you'll be missing out on lots of vitamins for your soil, and that's what's supposed to happen.
Leaves in trees, leaves fall from trees, leaves in trees then give vitamins to the ground, which grows more trees, which drops leaves back.
See?
Yeah, it's a circle.
So for all the kids out there, listen to what their parents and their parents are like, Mike, you got to go rake the leaves.
No.
Bobby said you're hurting the environment by raking the leaves.
Hit him with a circle of life?
Boom.
That's from IFL science.
If your nose is stuffed up, anybody got a stuffy nose?
Always.
Yours is allergies, though, huh?
Always, man.
Yeah, it's not like this all the time.
All right.
I was born that way.
That's his voice.
Yeah, that's his natural voice.
Yeah, but that's my voice because of my nose.
That's not nice.
That's his natural voice.
Experts say, 10 seconds of humming will allow the air in your sinuses to be cycled out in
exchange with clean air, and you need to do this if your nose is stuffed up.
Think of it as your body's natural decongestant as an alternate to sprays or vix rubs.
You don't necessarily need to be humming loud.
But if you hum, that's what that's doing, those muscles, that vibration.
That's really cool.
Probably not as good because I love some chemicals.
When I'm sick, nasal sprays?
When I'm sick, I'm not a big chemical guy otherwise, but as soon as I get a little bit sick, what do you got?
Is it unnatural?
Will it kill me sooner?
I need it because I got a little cold.
Like give it to me, pump it in me.
Give me all the chemicals you got.
So there's that.
You can hum if you can't get to any sort of.
My issue with nose spray is when I do it, I got to keep at it.
Like I do it once.
I'm like, I need some more.
No.
You're only supposed to do one a day.
It's a dicking day?
In each nostril, right?
Oh, it's like every 20 minutes.
Right?
You can't do that, man.
And then I'm floating.
I'm like, oh.
I worry about, can that like cause holes in your nose or something?
Or is that drugs?
I think that's drugs.
Yeah, you're thinking of the bad one, the white one.
Yeah.
Boy, we jumped.
Quickly, huh?
Well, I am worried about you, though, because every 20 minutes, I don't think that's good.
But he's not doing that.
Just no nasal spray.
Artificial intelligence, they say, can now talk to animals.
You're never going to convince me that this is actually happening because there's no way to convince me it's happening.
The animal can't, except for whatever program, go, yeah, this is true, they really got me.
Unless they're saying it through the program that they're trying to convince me works.
What if the program says it's going to make him, like, wag its tail and then he wags his tail?
Oh, now we're talking.
Right?
Now we're talking.
Like, may not talk back.
But maybe not waggetail.
Because they wagg tails
all the time.
If they're just happy or excited.
But if they do something like
lift their left leg
and then sit and roll over all in order.
Yeah.
You give me a three pack?
I'm in and believing it.
That's how they can convince us.
But I'm telling you,
here's the story from the Daily Mail,
a team of German researchers.
They have trained
in artificial intelligence
to communicate with animals.
The team used the AI
to decode patterns
in non-human sound
like the waggle dance of honeybees,
the low-frequency
noises of elephants and the clicking
made by whales, enabling
the AI to communicate and control the wild animals.
If they were able to actually, actually, actually do this,
that would be amazing.
Unless we figured out that, one, animals
all hated us when we thought they loved us.
Or two, they were plotting to kill us.
Yeah. Well, now I'm picturing AI, like, gathering
a bunch of whales together to do something crazy.
Well, I would just stand, like, in Arkansas,
because they can't get me there.
Yeah, landlocked.
No whales in Arkansas.
All the whales can try to kill me and attack me,
but you know where they're not going to get me?
Iowa.
Arkansas.
Yeah, you guys make fun of us
from Middle America
until the whales attack.
And then all of a sudden
you want to stay at our house,
don't you?
If your marriage seems a little stale,
do this.
This is from Beachbound survey.
Here's the problem with stories like this.
They just assume people have extra money.
Because they're like,
hey, if your relationship sucks,
you know what, fly somewhere
every few weeks.
Oh, right.
What?
Hey, buddy.
Yeah.
There's something called groceries.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's something called rent.
Child care.
Kids.
Studies have shown that 42% of Americans have fallen back in love with a partner after going on vacation together.
They say, go on an extra trip.
And yes, I agree.
By the way, I agree.
And maybe that trip, though, is 45 minutes and you're in a cabin for 70 bucks a night by the lake.
That's doable.
Because where I worked, Lake Washtaugh, we had cabins.
You could go up there and I worked at the marina.
You could rent a cabin.
Then I was like 50 bucks a night.
Inflation, you know?
It's a little more expensive now.
Now, that I understand.
But they're like, yo, get two plane tickets.
Fly somewhere you've never been.
Okay, Oprah.
We expect everybody gets this money.
But they say a trip allows you to feel young again
and eliminate the job and daily stressors
that could be bringing the relationship down.
So there you go.
So you just get away and act like ignore all the other stuff
that's really happening for a few days.
See, I can't help but think of when I do that
is like when I get back, it's just going to be the same thing.
Oh, me too.
I know.
This is how my mind works.
I hate it.
Me too.
Why you do not need to shower each morning.
Yeah, listen up, folks.
He gets off Facebook for one story.
Or ever again, they say.
Hygiene experts insist washing yourself is really unimportant.
Now, here's the story.
According to one hygiene, one hygiene expert.
Bathing every day is really not important and does not need to be done.
Professor Sally Bloomfield said the only reason we do it is to be socially acceptable because of body odor.
She said, you're okay not washing yourself, but you are going to stink really badly.
So if you're okay with stinking, then you're good.
There you go.
We're not.
Right.
I am not.
Let's fade.
I'm not okay with me stinking or other people in a close proximity stinking all the time.
Every once in while it's okay.
Like I have my deodorant with me.
I keep it in my personal.
And so this is a great deodorant, this native, but because it's pretty naturalish, it doesn't last a long time.
And it turns into, it goes from smelling great to butt in about 30 minutes, it feels like.
Oh.
Well, that's not a good endorsement.
No, they don't pay me.
No, no, I'm saying.
Like, you're like, it's so good for 30 minutes.
30 minutes, but a while where it goes from really killing it, because it's natural to, I mean, really, it's like, what kind of deodorant?
You want the new butt fragrance? No, no, no, no, it's my deodorant. It's gotten old. So I keep it with me in my bag here.
Great deodorant. Apparently, no aluminum. And isn't that what it's all about? Yeah. Not having the aluminum.
Here's the thing. I wrap my stuff in saran wrap still, but then I go, I don't want any aluminum for my deodorant.
Saran wrap or foil. Yeah, saran wrap is not aluminum. I was like, is that aluminum? I don't know.
I think he means oil.
Reynolds wrap. Reynolds wrap.
There you go.
There it is.
Thank you.
Wait, what's...
Is Saran the clear one?
Yes.
That I got it.
Wait, but it's different to wrap your food and foil and rub your armpits with aluminum.
I hear you.
But is it if foil is on your food that you're eating and putting in your body?
Yeah.
I don't know the answer, but you're acting like it's a huge difference.
If you're putting foil on your food and it's sitting touching your food for days.
Yeah.
I didn't think about that.
I just picture rubbing the aluminum in your armpits.
I hear you.
It's got to be worse.
I hear you, Eddie.
Thank you, Eddie.
All right.
There's a lottery.
winner who is trying to keep
$30 million in a jackpot so they won secret
from their wife and child.
What? Why?
Gosh, she'll take the money and run.
A man is keeping his $29.9
million lottery jackpot a secret
saying he is worried that his winnings
might make them lazy.
The man who is only identified by a
secret name went alone
to the lottery office to claim his prize. He wore
a bright yellow costume that covered his head in photos showing
him accepting the prize.
Quote, I didn't tell my wife and child if I
they would be too complacent.
It would not work or work hard in the future.
Oh my good.
That is from Bloomberg.
I get the child, but the wife?
That's crazy.
Yeah, that's weird.
Yeah.
The Powerball jackpot could hit $1.58 billion.
Is that tonight?
Yeah.
Wednesday.
Tonight.
Okay.
The fourth largest lottery jackpot in the U.S.
could sort of $1.58 billion.
Oh, my God.
That's, and I think if no one wins tonight, it goes to $1.6 billion.
What?
I think tonight it's at $1.2 billion.
Not that there's a $1.
a whole lot of difference to us. It's just a fictional number that we'll never see. Right.
Don't think like that. We're going to see it. Yeah, to us, it's like meeting Mickey Mouse.
Something we're never going to do because it's not possible. Same thing with this, but somebody's going to win a much money.
One point two billion tonight and if nobody wins, then $1.5.8 billion. Yeah, but I'm with lunchbox. Don't put that energy.
My energy has nothing to do with the lottery, guys. Nothing. I know you guys are big into energies.
You said that something big was going to happen. Yeah, but I didn't say we'd win the lottery. Here's what my energies do. My energies affect me.
in ways when I'm having a positive or negative mindset,
when I'm trying to do things that I can affect.
My energies don't affect the lottery,
or how many home runs the Phillies hit last night.
That wasn't you?
Nope.
Okay.
My energies do not affect that.
Okay.
As much as we'd like to say.
I'm just saying.
And then finally, just an update,
because Lunchbox wants us to pay for his $20 a month fee on Twitter for his blue checkmark,
which the company's not going to do.
But apparently, it's now going to be $8.
So you can now afford it.
Okay.
That's a little bit cheaper.
That should be easier for the company to pay.
Yeah, yeah.
You can handle it.
But yesterday, I guess Elon Musk was tweeting about it.
And Stephen King said, yo, I'm not paying this.
I'm out of here.
And he goes, how about eight bucks?
Quickest negotiation never.
And so apparently it's going to be eight bucks.
It's not starting right now.
I'm not sure when it's going to start.
And then they're going to start making us pay for videos and stuff.
Did you read all?
I mean, come on.
What happened to good old Twitter?
They got to make money.
And good old Twitter is actually pretty nasty.
So if it cleans it up and eliminates a lot of the
bots and a lot of the hate speech. I'm cool with it being a little more premium for people who
want to pay it. I have a Twitter. I don't post a lot on it. I post it sometimes. I just like to read
Twitter. But it's got to make money. It's been losing money forever. I used to love Twitter so
much. Well, like anything, once it gets popular and everyone goes to it, then everyone starts to ruin it
and then it is not popular anymore. And that's what's happening with Twitter. It's ugly. It's an
ugly, ugly place. I love it.
Yeah, that's why I'm going to go to...
I can't get enough of it.
All right, that's the news.
Thank you.
Those were Bobby's big.
Stories.
I guess a year or so ago, Amy sent me a note and goes, hey, this is weird.
I got this package, and it's weird, and I'm scared.
Let's talk about it.
And I was like, I admire your bravery.
And she came, and we were going to have a talk.
Chit-chat it up, chop it up, as they say.
On the air.
Yeah.
And then I was like, you can't.
I don't feel comfortable with it.
it. And she goes, okay. So we wait. And then she asked some questions. She's like, okay, I'm good to go now.
We come on the air. She goes, I can't. I've been given some advice by people with badges,
not to talk about it yet. I'm like, okay. And so we know that we've kind of dragged you guys
along that listen to the show, but we've also dragged along the people that work on the show.
Because Eddie doesn't know lunchboxes is no. No clue. So as you guys get mad at us,
just know the rest of the show's mad at us too. I've been very annoyed with you.
Amy, you can have it because we're going to talk about it now. But first, why do you feel comfortable
now talking about it without revealing what it is.
I think enough time has passed by and it's hopefully okay.
That's really the answer is time, right?
Time does heal all gunshot wounds.
Time and I don't know that I'll get in specifically to this detail because I don't want to,
but I will say let's just call it a turnover of people.
Okay.
To where I'm maybe not concerned that they're even.
Turnover with me.
Maybe they're not even.
Is there a new leader of some gay?
No.
But maybe they're not even.
Turnover people sounds like
I don't know
It's a yearsm
No
That's all I can do
Like somebody went on vacation didn't come back
Like somebody went for a swim with some fishies
Didn't come out for air
Okay so
When I tell you what it is
Don't ask me what we did with it
That's all I ask
But how do you bury a body that big
Come on what was in there
Okay Amy take us back in time
The day of you happening
and it happening. What happens? I don't know where you want me to take you, so I'm just going to leave it blank.
Okay. Well, we picked up, we pick up our mail from somewhere because we have it delivered
to not to our house. So we pick up boxes. It's very normal to get packages and whatnot. Get home with
the mail and realize that inside one of the boxes. Was it, were all the boxes with your name on it?
Yeah, but I think it was a mix-up because I think it was meant to be under someone else's name that
happened to be my same name.
Oh, interesting.
You do have a very common name, Amy Brown.
Okay.
Well, yeah.
No, that's your name.
Amy.
Yeah.
Your name's Amy.
Yeah.
For the sake of the story, we'll roll with that.
Okay, go ahead.
Okay, so then we open packages like normal.
La, la, la, nothing to see here.
Weird way to open it?
La la.
Except for, oh, this is a box of heroin.
Oh!
What on earth?
Oh!
When you say box of heroin.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and listen.
Box.
But I need to know.
Like, you open the box and is, describe what the heroin looked like.
Was it in a bag?
Google image wrapped duct tape.
I don't know.
Brand wrap bubble tape situation.
How big?
A big box.
Enough to where, if this went missing, someone's, listen, I've watched enough cartel shows.
Show me with your fists.
How big the package of heroin was.
Like a brick?
There's the bricks or whatever they are.
See?
I have bad vision.
Okay.
Can you show us with your hands?
Because I can't see that.
Well, so the bricks are like this.
So if you were to do a massive, like super cheeseburger from one of those truck stop places,
dang.
That's what she did with her hands.
It's a big cheeseburger.
Right.
And then the box was like, yay big.
The only way I can describe it is big enough to where if this package is missing,
someone's losing, most would say their job over it, but I've seen enough cartel shows that there's somebody's losing their life.
And what do you think it is initially?
Because I don't know what heroin looks like.
Well, there's someone at my house that kind of did know.
Listen, there's a lot of things running through our head of where this came from and why or how we ended up with it.
No, we didn't know immediately.
How many bricks?
It wasn't until later.
I don't remember how many I didn't.
So let's not get about specifics and numbers of bricks.
I'm not getting specific on really anything other than who knows.
Maybe it was multiple narcotics.
But from what the research we did that.
is what it was.
But not that I'm some expert and I don't, again,
this is just something crazy that you don't want it in your hands
because for me I felt like people come looking for this kind of thing.
Did you do the thing where you dip your finger in?
No.
No.
The cops do that.
Innocent people end up dying just because they happen to end up in the wrong place
at the wrong time with the wrong drugs.
Was it the kind you snort?
I don't know.
Inject, right?
Don't you inject?
I don't know why you're asking any details.
I don't either.
When all I know is that was what we determined.
And there was multiple adults involved.
Well, you think the going rate was for it.
I know you Googled that.
Oh, man.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't know the going rate.
I mean, you could have been a millionaire.
No.
You could have your own island.
Do you have a party?
No.
This is just something I wanted like far, far away from.
Far far away.
Listen, then the situation was because it was from a mayor,
place, we got a call that a bot, we accidentally ended up with a box and they need those
documents back.
Documents?
Wait.
The heroin documents?
Well, that's what we were very confused because we were like, this is not a box full
of documents, but I think that was their code for, listen.
So I don't know who's involved in this ring of how we ended up with this.
Guys, honestly, I feel uncomfortable still talking about this.
Right.
So do I?
Like, I'm scared.
Again, I'm not.
I don't want authorities to be like, I did the wrong thing with it.
I don't want the other people to think I went to the authorities.
So that is what happened.
So you're just doing the trash?
She said, don't ask her what she did with it.
She said, don't ask me what we did with it.
And I wasn't the one that handled it.
It was, you know, I passed that along.
But yeah, it was very.
Did you take a selfie with it?
No.
That would have been cool, but it would have been like, for sure, right?
Why not?
Check it out.
hashtag living life.
At the time, I think I was more scared than anything.
Yeah.
Or like, yeah.
And there was other things going on in life at the time that led to these other theories of how we ended up with it.
And then I thought that then once we got the call about the documents, we were like, oh, this is legit.
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong package.
And now we're going to die for it.
That's what I concluded.
Oh, my goodness.
That's scary because they say bring us the documents.
and you bring it back and that's when they...
But I'm not saying...
She's not saying what she did.
No, no, I'm saying...
No, I'm saying...
That is scary to think.
Just stop saying.
Yeah, just in general say no more.
But you know how there's...
You guys don't understand what I'm saying.
There's real life situations like this
or at least even in fictional shows
where innocent people end up
you know, paying the price for something
they literally just had nothing to do with.
Wrong place, wrong time, yeah.
I had nothing to do.
We had nothing.
My family.
I was nervous they had our address. There was all kinds of things.
Let me talk to John in Boston. He's an officer. Hey, John, what would you like to say about this?
Hey, John, how are you doing? Great. Pretty good. I appreciate you calling. Can you shed some insight here?
Yeah, so I work for a government agency in Massachusetts, and I actually work in a product. I've been doing it for a while now.
Large drug organizations, drug trafficking organizations. That's actually one of the main methods of how they get their product.
in the U.S. now because our borders, it's getting increasingly difficult to actually
smuggle stuff over the border.
So we see a lot of people in Amy's situation where they'll get home and they'll see a package
there.
And most of the time, they have a good handle on tracking of what the packages or where they're
going.
But they'll pick a random address and drop off a package.
And they'll think Amy's at work and they'll come over and scoop the package off the porch.
And a lot of times we get those calls and it's multiple.
kilos of cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, and it's actually pretty common.
They use USPS, you know, UPS, D.HL, all those companies, and they'll actually pay someone
to catch a package is what we call it.
They'll pay someone to Porch Pirate?
Yeah, yeah, they actually do.
Wow.
Hey, so.
Or they'll say, go ahead.
Yeah, I guess my question is, what happens if someone, let's say it was delivered
to my door, and I just take it in with all my packages?
so now I have it in my house,
but they know that a package should have been dropped off
and it's not out there.
It's probably in my house.
What happens to me then?
They write it off as a loss.
They don't break in or breath.
I was holding my breath on that.
I just have a free box of cocaine.
Yeah, they rate it off as a loss 100%.
Okay.
They're taxes?
Right it off.
So what are the odds?
So, okay, that's really, really comforting.
That is so comforting to hear that hopefully this box
was written off as a loss.
But have people ever, innocent people ever been harmed?
So not that I know of, no.
No, I mean, we've actually seen, I mean, everything across the game.
We've seen heroin, Coke, meth.
We've even seen money, you know.
People, they mail their currency back or tried to.
And although mailed currency to an address to pay off, you know, a drug debt.
And people open up the box and see this money wrapped, obviously, in a way.
that currency normally isn't packaged, and they'll call us up and say, hey, this is really
concerning, and it's legitimately a loss for the drug trafficking organizations.
There's just so much product that they mail out.
So if I...
This is really good to hear.
Let's say they drop off a box of the H in my house.
It's a big box, and I open it and I see it.
Should I call the cops or should I just throw it up on Craigslist?
Oh, yeah, 100% call you the local law enforcement agency, and they'll probably tell you
the same stuff on telling you that, you know, it's, they just pick, a lot of times they pick
random addresses or addresses where they think people are at work during the daytime, and then
they'll have their tracking information. And as soon as that package is delivered, they'll
have a runner go over and scoop that package right up. That's crazy. Have you, you know, you said
sometimes they'll pay people off. Like, what, uh, what about people that work in the mail business?
Are they ever on the inside? So I can't comment on that, but,
Yeah, I'm not, I'm gonna let that one.
We like it.
No comment?
I like it.
That's all we're gonna hold you to do is no comments.
I'm all about no commenting.
What's too late for?
You're really not.
It's absolutely the opposite of what you stand for is no comment.
I'm not gonna ask.
You stand for all comments, but in this situation, you're trying to be a little better.
Yes.
Hey, John, we really appreciate that call.
Thank you for spending a few minutes with us and shedding some light on that.
Because we kid, but Amy West scared for a long time.
And that's good for people to know.
And that's just interesting to see how that works.
So thank you.
All right.
All right. See, buddy.
And thanks for, you know, risking your life out there doing that.
That is the job that I do not have the cahones to do.
Man, this is crazy.
I'll tell you what, Amy, this is worth the weight.
Like, I thought it was going to be something letdown, but dang this is good,
even though you didn't answer my questions.
You got a box up, man.
Wow.
Bring it in.
We have it. Bring it in.
Oh, seriously?
No, I'm kidding.
Oh, can you imagine?
Spin the wheel.
Like, why would we spin the wheel?
Let's see if it's real.
That's funny.
Oh, it was heroin.
That's what it was heroin.
heroin. I would have known meth. I don't know heroin.
I don't know. I haven't seen any drugs. Like, we were just on Google.
Yeah. Two things that are always accurate. Well, three. Google, WebMD, and
Wikipedia. Wikipedia. All right. All right. We'll be right back.

Hey, everyone.
It's Cal Penn.
I'm the host of Earsay, the Audible and I Heart Audio Book Club.
This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Ray Porter,
the narrator of Andy Weir's audiobook,
Project Hail Mary, massive sci-fi adventure about survival and science.
And what happens when you wake up alone very far from Earth?
I really had to make a decision because I caught myself getting that frog in my throat and starting to get teary as I'm narrating some of these sections.
And it's like, okay, yo, yeah, yo, is this indulgent?
And I really thought about it.
I was like, no, at this point, it would kind of be betraying the trust the author and the listener have in telling this story if I don't go through it.
But there's places in this book that deeply emotionally affected me, and I left it on the mic.
That's great.
Because it served the story.
People will say like, oh, my God, I cried at the end.
It's like, yeah, dude, me too.

Hey, Ray, does your mom drink a lot of coffee?
I don't think she really ever has, honestly.
Really?
She's been on the show with this before,
so that's why I felt I could ask about it.
The story is drinking two cups of coffee daily while pregnant may lead to shorter kids.
That's funny.
He has a twin brother that's really tall.
I don't know.
I was just asking.
That was great.
No, I was just curious about science.
You just picked a random person.
Yeah, I just drew it from a hat.
Right.
Even small amounts of daily caffeine consumption by pregnant women, the equivalent of about two cups of coffee a day may lead to shorter offspring.
So if you don't have that 5-11, 6-foot, 6-1 self, it could be your mom drinking much coffee.
Wow.
Higher maternal caffeine intake during pregnancy was associated with offspring shorter stature, especially up until age 8.
And sometimes it never got bigger and better.
Sometimes it did.
Loyalty inspectors.
What do you think that is?
It's a new business term and it's a job.
that people have now, but loyalty inspectors.
What would you say they do for a living?
They inspect people are loyal?
Yeah, okay, but that would be the...
Yeah, well, that's good.
That's good.
They spy on people to make sure they're not cheat.
Okay, I like that.
But I would say for businesses, though.
Yeah.
Like how much loyalty they have to the business.
Like their company.
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
So a new online profession is making headlines.
Attractive women will attempt to seduce husbands.
Oh.
To provide proof of their faithfulness.
Yeah, that's, it's terrible.
They'll hop in the DMs on Instagram, whatever they're using, and go, hey, what's up?
And they don't just go, hey, let's make sweet love.
They're like, hey, they just start flirting.
Or they say something.
I get a comment.
Or, hey, those are really cool shoes.
What kind of shoes are they open a conversation?
And then from there, you go down the slide.
That's really mean.
Is it mean?
How much are they making?
They make, I'm glad you asked.
They are usually young attractive women who charge between $25 to $40 a mess.
message, which is a lot, to test the wives' husbands.
Yeah.
The women's husband.
Hired by the wife, right?
Yeah.
Obviously.
I guess you could do it the other way too.
You know what?
We should do this.
We should go in.
No, no, no.
We should be the guys going into women's DMs to see if they're loyal.
Are you the guy?
That's not going to work.
That's not my job.
And if we send lunchbox in, it's not, I mean, that's not good date.
Well, first of all, nobody's going to reply.
Right.
And we have that same risk, too.
but I think our wives may kill us
if we say hey guess what we're doing
we're starting a new business
we're gonna hop into some deep
oh what a
oh my gosh can you imagine
I go home like hey I got an idea for business
I'm gonna just start DMing a lot of girls
being like hey baby
but trust me
it's work
it's all in the up and up it's work
and then finally a 19 year old
and a 56 year old get engaged
oh my goodness
and they are making headlines
is the man the older one and the night
isn't said that
the grandma the lady is the older one
I got him.
You all thought it was the opposite way.
I did originally, but then I thought, you know what?
Occasionally this happens.
The first interaction when they met met, he was 10.
She had hired him to move some potted plants.
And then he would often drop by the divorced woman's house to play in help with yours.
No.
I went to work for her that summer.
That's what that Garthbrook song is about.
Exactly what it is.
The two described their early relationship's friendship, but when he turned 17, he started to develop feelings.
Oh, she looks old, too.
She does.
He already Googled it.
Yeah.
She looks like a grandma.
My official reaction is...
Oh, he looks, and he looks way young.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I mean, he's 19, but he looks 15.
Here's my official reaction.
They're 19 and 56.
They love each other.
There's nothing.
There's nothing weird.
There's nothing.
There's nothing.
I'm going to say illegal happening here.
Just because it's weird doesn't mean it's wrong.
It's hard for me to say that.
Wrong.
I'm okay with it.
It's weird.
It's weird.
But I'm not going to spend a lot of time being like,
I can't believe it.
but that's, it's bizarre.
Yeah.
Maybe he didn't have like a mom or grandma.
And that's,
and he's attracted to that,
yeah, that feeling, that sense.
Yeah, maybe she's taking care of him, nurturing.
Yeah.
19 and 56.
That's weird.
That is a tough one.
And yeah, you know if it was reversed
and it was a 56 year old man that was like,
well, put him in jail.
She used to come to my house to pot plants at 10.
Okay.
Yeah, that one I might say it.
Now I might go, that's wrong.
Yeah.
Even though it's illegal.
Exactly.
It's not illegal.
I might go, that one is really wrong.
Because I would have felt like the guy took advantage of her and probably did stuff earlier than they're saying.
But for some reason and totally unfair, I'm just like, yeah, it's weird, but.
She's a grandma.
Yeah, she's, she's, I make cookies.
She's nurturing him.
A little something that happened last night.
I mentioned some of the show yesterday.
I'd gotten into, I won't say trouble, but I'd gotten into a little bit of controversy because I'd done some comedy at my
last show and I did a bit where I was like, hey, look, if I was hosting the CMA Awards, this is a
monologue that I would do. And I think Luke and Peyton Manning are doing an awesome job, but even before
they announced them, I was like, they've never let me host it. Maybe this is the year, but I've said
that for like five years. And so I said, this is what I would do since they'll never let me host
and I do this comedy bit. And it's like five minutes, five or six minutes long. And I'm talking
about artists. I'm talking about myself, talking about the awards. I'm making fun of everything,
but not in a way that's malicious, or I don't think so, but not purposefully malicious.
I like roast. I think roasts are hilarious. And so we didn't allow any phones in to record because we're practicing a lot of this stuff to eventually maybe shoot a special. Not this bit specifically. But so I felt comfort. I felt comfort and just being able to do it. Well, somebody recorded it is leaked out. And so I got on TikTok last night and I said, hey, look, I know people are threatening to cancel me for these jokes, but they're just jokes. I don't, you know, I've said before, I think eventually we're all going to be canceled. Then what do we do? I'll start over. And secondly, some people got upset. And, and,
and like wanted to beat me up,
which I thought was weird too.
Who tries to beat up an adult?
Unless you're drunk at a bar.
Right.
And so I posted this on my TikTok,
which is Mr. Bobby Bones,
and I put a clip of the comedy show.
Just one joke that I felt safe with putting up.
Dan of Dan and Shay,
he was not upset with the joke I said about him.
You can see that up there.
People like, Dan was not upset.
That's why I felt comfortable in putting that joke up there.
So we'll see what happens.
But if they're like, we're going to release the tape,
then I'll just put out the whole tape.
edited. At least if I'm going to get canceled, I want it to look good.
Instead of bad audio from
corner stage, you know. But you can see that on my
TikTok, Mr. Bobby Bones. Oh, and I watched it again
last night. Yeah. And I showed my wife
and I forgot one of the jokes in there. And I was like, oh, that's a good one too.
That was a good one too. The fact that he's doing that makes me go,
I know. Maybe I was over the way.
What did your wife think? Well, my wife gets
uncomfortable anyway, but she goes, oh, it's just a normal
like hosting, like it's a funny. It's a joke.
Just think it was funny, though? Yeah, yeah. She like, she
She laughed. She laughed.
Did you think it was funny?
Oh, yeah. That was something I was like, oh, yeah, that's funny.
That funny.
And she was like, oh, I don't think that person's going to like that one.
Yeah.
They probably didn't.
We all thought they probably didn't.
All right.
Anyway, that's on my TikTok, Mr. Bobby Bones.
Thank you guys.
Bobby Bones show.

Story of the day.
This story comes with us from Minnesota.
A 38-year-old man was at a corn maze walking through the corn.
and oh, I got some corn in my shoe.
So he bends over to take the corn out of his shoe,
and the gun on his hip, boom!
Shoots him in his leg.
You know, back in the good old days, we had something called a safety.
Yep.
Ah, yes.
So when you got corn in your shoe, you didn't shoot yourself on the foot.
That's the exact reason.
I remember being sat down by my papaw?
He said, son, someday you'll get corn in your shoe.
And you'll bend over to get it out.
That's why you keep the safety on.
I never had a papaw.
Oh.
But I did use the safety.
Okay, so that story's not true.
No, it's not true at all. I did use the safety, yes. Is that it?
I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day.
