Hey, everybody.

Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning studio. Morning. Lunchbox has some late breaking news about the IHeart Radio app, brand new. So he wants to share it with everybody. Go ahead. Man, I'm going to tell you what, guys. They have playlists on there, which is pretty freaking cool. Like on our road trip, my two kids or my three kids wanted to fight over two songs. I was like, guys, we can't do this.

And so we pulled up the app. Let me tell you, they had a Fourth of July playlist, and then they had a summer party playlist. We jam those for hours. And the kids were happy. It was, I'm telling you, you can watch it out. They got pre-made playlist. So you don't have to go.

Like I thought, okay, I'm going to go through and search every single song. Ha! They put it together for you. Pretty easy. Now they do a great job of that, yes, but he's just discovering this. It's been like our company. Forever, man. They've been telling us to say this like five years.

I'm sure. I feel like he's probably had to say it somewhere. Yeah, yeah. It's like been our company directive. Like a way up great. But he discovered it for himself. Yeah. And then brought it to us as new.

It's always better when you experience it for yourself. because it's more, I hear it the authenticity in his voice. No, I know he's. And the 4th of July playlist had new and old songs, which was like really good. Because then you show, hey, here's an old artist. Like, are they, and they always ask, are they still alive? Who asked that? My kids.

I thought you meant the app. I was like, now we're talking. That's a fun playlist. Are they still alive? Oh, that's. That'd be one I would listen to. And then everybody saw when it comes on, you're like, hmm, I wonder. Wait. Anyway, yes.

They've been doing this though for like seven, eight years, but I'm glad you experienced it. Didn't know that. I did not know they had a pre-made playlist, but man, it... What did you think the IHeart Radio app was? I thought you got to go in and listen to, like, our show or other shows on it, and then, like, you could pick a song and listen to the song. And then you'd go pick another song. A podcast. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, our podcast. Oh, you listen to live radio.

Yeah, I didn't realize that there was playlist, like they already. had songs queued up. We make one every week for the Friday morning dance party and we have for years. Do you know that?

We make one? We make one? Morgan does, yeah. Oh. And we put it on there? And we should start doing the list of are they dead or alive? That's a heck of a playlist. That's a heck of a playlist. chestnut over the weekend ate 70 and a half hot dogs in 10 minutes. Oh.

Which that wasn't even his record, but he won by far. He's the champion eater. He's famous. Like he's literally famous because he's the greatest hot dog eater of all time. So I asked Eddie, could you eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours and I offered it 500 bucks? So think about that because then we broke it down. Not in 10 minutes. Not how many can you eat in 10 minutes?

You have 24 hours. Can you eat 70 hot dogs in 20? in 24 hours. So that's 35 and 12 hours. Mm-hmm. Okay, so let's do it. So let's just say it's 36. It makes it dividing easier.

So that's 18 and 6 hours. So it's three, basically three an hour. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds easy. Three an hour. It's a little more than that. But yeah.

And I have to go ahead. Yeah. Like you can't count the eight hours that I'm planning to sleep. You don't have to if you want to make five. hundred bucks. I don't think about that. Well, stay up all night.

Yeah, I mean. Eating? Do you think he could eat 70 hot dogs? Yeah. Because it's not quite, if you stay awake every hour, it's not quite three hot dogs. It's like 2.92. But he is going to have to sleep, which is why I says it's going to be more than three. He doesn't have to sleep.

Right. I know. I know. You don't have to sleep. You could sleep. It's funny, both their minds are there. No, no. Because you'd even get hungrier while you slept.

Well, I would do this, Eddie. Just don't do it sedentary. Stay walking. Walk, walk, walk, walk. You're going to be burning. Oh, that's a great point. Walk while I eat. Yes.

You don't have to sleep. Walk for 24 hours. Just walk while you eat. Get on the treadmill. Go to the park. Eat some hot dogs. It's basically. You'll be burning energy.

Go to a baseball game. If he stays awake for 24 hours, because I just heard he doesn't have to sleep. Correct. It's basically one hot dog every 20 minutes. What hot dog every 20 minutes for the whole time? Basic, because it's three an hour. It's less than three an hour. A hot dog, guys, with buns.

I feel like you should. A bun, a hot dog. And Eddie was worried about his health. Right. But I'm going to tell you this. I would even, first of all, do you think you can do it? Now, do you want the math if he goes to sleep for eight hours? Yes.

Because I need to have a good night's rest. Yes. Okay. Let's give you sleep. You don't have to sleep. You don't have to sleep. You don't have to. They say.

You used to go to the bars and say out all night. That's true. I mean, our bodies do not respond well to that anymore. Okay, so you're left at 70 hot dogs divided by 16 hours. So that's 4.3 hot dogs per hour. Oh. While you're walking. That's one hot dog a little less than 18 minutes.

But what does the walking do? I don't understand that part. Because you're exerting energy. No, I'm not burning the hot dog. The hot dog's still on my stomach. But you are. Why do you think you need food in general? Energy.

Fuel. So why do you think I'm suggesting you walk? Maybe even just as friends. And your digestive system. Yes. When you walk, it does help your food digest. It gives you more room. Exactly.

Because Mike said something like, how many calories was that, Mike, that you figured out? Well, don't do that. Oh, we'll do that. Yeah, that's kind of fun. You just tell us. No, no. That was my health scare right there. Any one day isn't going to.

This is what I'm going to tell you guys. This is the deal I'll make with you before we even do it. Come on. So, Mike, you can tell him. Go ahead. 21,000. with the button. But that's 24, and 24 hours.

So you're talking about less than 1,000 calories an hour. Who gives a crap? Look at that. How many calories you do get in a day? I have no idea. 2,000. 2,000? You're eating more than 2,000.

Ish? A day. Hey, man, that's what you need. So this is what we can do, though, because, and I'm telling you, I don't think you would know the difference because they taste good. Every fourth hot dog, because you're worried about your health, we do an impossible dog. Ooh.

Interesting. So that... They do have those. No, and you wouldn't know the difference in the taste. 70 is definitely possible. Like, it's definitely possible. I don't know if I can do it. Because I've been eating well for the past three weeks.

And like now I... Perfect. You're primed and ready to go. Start walking now. You don't have to sleep. Good. I feel like my stomach has gotten smaller. Hey, a month ago, I could have eaten this easily. I feel like if I haven't eaten in a long time, my stomach's better for more food.

Not the opposite. No. Doesn't your stomach shrink? And it's smaller. Like, I don't know if this. This is possible. One, I really don't know what's possible. You just said it's possible.

And then now you're saying it's not. Because I feel like I'd hurt myself if I do this. Yeah, pain is glory. $500. Would you, you wouldn't do it. You don't think you could do it. I definitely could not do it. I know I can't.

Do you think, do you think he could do it or do you just want to see him try to do it? I think Eddie could actually do it. Honestly. 100%. You're the closest thing to a competitive eater we have on this show. Yeah, that's a good point. And I'm not sure if that's an insult or a compliment. I don't know.

I don't know either, but I do like to eat. One hot dog every 13.7 minutes if you sleep for eight hours. Just think about it. It's something to think about it. I have to, I feel like... You might as well try. $500 in cash. I love a challenge.

Like, love the challenge, $500 in cash. Oh my gosh, it sounds amazing. I just don't know if it's possible. Like, I don't know if my body can handle 70 hot dogs. If you were making a side bet lunchbox, would you bet he could do it? No. Wow. No, because I'm going to tell you why.

The first few hours is fine. You're going to enjoy the hot. dogs, it's cool. It's sort of like the power hour where you take a shot of beer every minute for one hour. Those first 40 minutes, you're like, this is so easy. But by the end, you're like, it's already been a minute. That's what he's going to be like with the hot dog. It's already been 13 minutes and I got to eat another one. Oh my gosh. Yeah, but you're talking in minutes. Like this is, I can be hours. Like one hour, eat five. Yep. And then chill for a little bit. Is it all, are they all on standard buns? Yep. Good question. Yep. Okay. Standard bun. I don't know that mean standard bun in water, right?

No. Ew, no. I'm not trying to do. That's what Joey Chess does. That's for speed. That's for speed. You're eating the same amount. There's no need to make it worse tasting if you're not trying for speed. Oh my gosh. That would make it so much easier. No, I'm going to grill it and everything. Yeah, I would make it tasty. Right?

Yeah. There's no chance. I think he can. But are you being real? Are you just trying to make me? Oh, 600 Buccaroos. Gosh, it's sounding better. I don't want you to commit anything that you're not committed to. Anybody else want to add any money?

to it? I mean, I'll bet any $100 that he can't do it, so if he loses, he gives me $100. That's stupid. You don't have to do that. You're going straight, $600 from Amy and I. No, if you lose, you just quit, you don't lose anything. Right. I'll be seen as a loser, though. Yeah, but kind of are you. What?

Nothing. What did you say? Nothing's changed. Ray, can you think you can do it? No, and I'm with lunch. I would be willing to do the $100 bet. We're not betting. I don't want him to have some penalty. We're not doing that. Yeah. The penalty is I'm eating 70 hot dogs. I feel terrible when he quits.

Like, I could kill myself doing this. You really couldn't, but I do believe it's impossible. Amy? I think that he can do it. I just think we need to prepare his body for the calories and the sodium. Yeah, okay, good, good point. How do I prepare myself? I don't know.

We can research that. You pray, okay? That's true. You say a prayer. Guidance. You have 24 hours to think about it. Okay. Let us call my doctor, see you.

No, no, don't do that. No calling any medical professional. That's off the board Joey Chesnott. Don't do that? Off the board, no calling any medical professional. Oh boy. I don't know if I could do this. No, no, no, no. That's off the board. If you call medical professional, money goes down. I mean you call my lawyer.

No, and then money goes down even more. All right, you have 24 hours, let us know. Your call to the lawyer would be more than what you'd earn. No, no, they work like if I die. Pro bono? They're going to go pro bono hot dog? Yes. 24 hours. You're on the clock. Okay.

I'm going to be sitting by. Oh, Bobby Bones. My girlfriend's having a birthday next weekend. I want to get her something nice. She and I've been dating for six months, and I've asked her if there's anything that she'd like. I've asked her a couple of times, and she says,

anything is fine, some kind of at a loss. What exactly do you get someone who says anything is fine for her birthday? Signed, boyfriend birthday shopping. Now, you have three, three options. Number one is, do you want to set a precedent? I would recommend not taking this option,

but this is one that you can do. The precedent is if you say anything's fine, I'm going to get you anything. And just always expect in the future, if you don't give me guidance, I'm not going to be guided to the thing you want. So you get a flower. Anything. Because anything's fine. And then you'd be confused.

That's not the way I would go. But if you want to teach her a lesson, also I don't advise. No, I know, I know, I know. That's teaching her a lesson that you're an idiot. That's the lesson. Okay. Everyone does this, even not just with birthdays, but all guys will act dumber at something so we don't have to do it anymore. And this is a version of that.

But shouldn't he, y'all want to like- Option one's not the good option. But that's option one. Be bad at getting her a gift because then she'll never expect you to get her a gift when she doesn't give you the guidance to get her the right gift. If you don't use that here, you'll use it later at folding clothes. You'll be like, oh, I don't know how to fold. And she's like, don't worry about it. I'll do it myself.

Like that's a bit there. Number two is more macro than micro. Listen to what she talks about. You know when her birthday is. So listen to what she talks about when she's not talking about her birthday. This is something I try to incorporate with my wife. I hear her. And I try to listen anyway.

But sometimes when they talk a lot, you just hear, you know, you hear most. You don't hear all. So, I mean, that's on us. That's what our attention is. Like, you do, you hear most. But you're good at that. Yes, because I purposefully is human. I know, I feel like Bobby here's one thing.

And I'm like, do you like text yourself or email yourself or you just make a mental note and you remember? No, I have a folder on my phone. Oh, okay. And I will listen to my wife five months out on what she talks about, what she likes. And you go to add it to the folder. Absolutely. So then when it's time, I can go into the folder and go, oh, I can do this. We can go here.

So for anniversary, that's kind of stupid. but she was like, let's not do anything for anniversary this year because when our vacation comes up, we're going and we're taking her whole family. She was like, we're already spending a bunch of money to do that. So no gifts, nothing. And I was like, all right, fine by me. But really in my head, that's not where I am. But I was going to take her to watch Jurassic World to the movie theater because

that's all she wanted to do is go to the theater. But she already did that last week. She said, let's go to the movies. And I'm like, no, that's an anniversary gift. Because she'd been talking about the theater for so long. And I was planning like a night out of the movies. so I had to scratch that from a box. How's your anniversary gift?

She said no gifts. Yeah, Amy, she doesn't mean no gifts. No, no, no, she means no gift. I was also going to get her a gift, but that was like going to be our thing that we do because we always go to dinner or something. And it was like a Tuesday night, and I'd plan that.

But my point was she had mentioned she hadn't been to the movies in a long time. So I made a note, let's go to the movies on our anniversary with the gift. I'm not supposed to get her. Yeah, okay. So, but that's scratched.

But I would say keep a tally, keep a list of things that she mentions that you can always go back into to get and pull from. The third one is just go and look at her Google. If she like gives you her phone for any reason, you can check her Google searches. You can look at our social media and you can tell exactly what she's been looking at and find something there. Or like her cart on Amazon. You can ask her friend. But her friend's going to tell her.

That's a problem with friends. What? Your friend's like, what kind of friend is like, hey, by the way, your boyfriend? That's like, what? Bullcrab. No. The friend will be like this. Six months, huh?

He asked me for a gift. I feel like that's like a kind thing to do. Anyway, the answer here is pay attention on what she says leading up to it. That's number one. Number two is jewelry. Just get her jewelry. I was insane. Very basic jewelry.

Or if she likes massages, what about that? Sure, but that's like getting someone a gift card to Appleby's. What? That's like nothing, nothing. But it's like you didn't put a lot of specific. thought into it. Because you're right, everybody loves Appleby's. Yeah, I love it. Everybody, not just your girlfriend.

And that's a massage, a gift card to Appleby's, 50 bucks a foot locker. Like that's all that stuff. It's only six months. They've only been dating six months. Morgan's had many six months boyfriends. Right, Morgan? Why did I just catch straight?

Morgan didn't do anything. That was a true statement, though. I guess I just really like a massage right now. We're all being very selfish. I'm like that would be awesome. Now that I've laid out the answers, this is what I'm going to say. Start listening to what she says because Christmas is coming up, buddy.

So start thinking about that. If you have no idea, don't do the just get her anything crap. Don't get her a massage. You can get her on massage as with something. But I would get her something basic but nice. Okay. That's it. That's my advice.

And you may have no money. So you don't have to go and spend thousands of dollars. But basic and nice and a massage. Ooh, you could write her a poem. Oh, don't do that. Why? That's just cringy. If it's bad.

If it's good, it works. If it's bad. And not everyone's a good poet. I mean, you can go chat, GVT and I'm writing you a poem for her. Put in some details. Just listen. That's such a cliche thing, but cliches are for a reason for the most part. But I'll get her a little joy, a little necklace or something.

A little cross. I can't believe we've made it to six months this year. Are you doing a poem? Oh, God. This is the point. To live without. you would bring me a tear. Peter, close it up.

plug it up. I'm going to play a Tom Hanks movie clip. Name the movie. Here you go, number one. Stupid is. Stupid does miss a clue. Pretty easy, huh? Forrest Gump.

Here's another one. Pretty easy. Cast away. Good, good. Tom Hanks is 69 years old today. Almost 70 years old. That's crazy. I don't know what's crazier.

Brad Pitt being 60 or Tom Hanks being 70. Yeah, both crazy. Or us also getting older. Who knew? He was born July 9th, 1956 in Concord, California. Maybe our greatest American actor. There's a few. But of our generation, there's a few.

So I will play you with Tom Hanks' clip. We'll see who can last the longest. Amy, lunchbox, Eddie, ready to go? Ready. Clip number one from 1992. There's no crying. Me in baseball. I'm in.

I'm in for the win. Amy? A league of their own. Lunchbox? A league of their own. A league of their own. Correct. One Tom Hanks movie down.

Number two. Houston, we have a problem. I'm playing it again. Houston, we have a problem. I'm in. I'm in for the win. Didn't realize he was in this movie. What?

I mean, he's struggling right now. It's like, I know, it's like, I know I have it in my brain. Yeah, it's not. You've probably even seen it. Chase it down. Chase it down. Got it. What do you have?

Chaste it. Apollo. What did you write down? Apollo. Apollo. You just have Apollo? Yep, because I chased it down. And I know it's Apollo 13.

But I only wrote Apollo. It's fine. Thanks for being honest. Yeah. Good for you, for your honesty. You're rewarded with nothing. But we trust you next time. Okay, so good job.

Thank you. You're out, though. Lunchbox. Apollo 13. Eddie. Apollo 13. All right. Amy got no benefit whatsoever.

You might as well just lie. Okay, so Amy's out. Next one. I've delivered a million passages over 40 years in the air, but in the end I'm going to be judged on 208 seconds. I'm going to play it again. Name the Tom Hanks movie. Here's the clip again. I've delivered a million passages over 40 years in the air, but in the end I'm going to be judged on 208 seconds. I'm in. I hope this is the name of it. Is it just that name? Is it just that name? Are you in?

Are you on the toilet? Yeah, what are you doing? I'm trying to decide if I want to leave that first word in front of his name. I need an answer. Lunchbox. Captain Sully. Eddie. I wrote down just Sully.

The answer is just Sully. Take it! You are a big Tom Hanks guy, though. A long Tom Hanks. Never seen that movie. Is that a good movie? I mean, it's fine. I don't know. He was not that nice to me when I met him once. Oh, the real Sully.

Sully. Yeah. So I refuted. I boycott Sully. You know, he wasn't nice to a couple people that day. Yeah, yeah. Maybe he's having a bad day. Maybe. Maybe. Boy, that game went quicker than I thought.

You want to hear, you want to try three more Eddie? Let's go. All right, next. Reach for this. That's Toy Story. Correct. Next. Would have any face?

I have AIDS. Oh. Whoa. Philadelphia. Correct. Next. On the day of my judgment. When I stand before God, and he asks me, why did I, did I kill one of his true miracles?

What am I going to say? Oh, I just got chills. That's the green mile. Good. This is your category. The Tom Hanks? I think I've seen them all except like one or two. Next one?

It's just business. Chill business. To achieve truly great things, one must make truly great sacrifices. You will have to be free of any entangling. You see, my boy, show business is snow business, and the fans need to believe that you are always available. That right there is Elvis. Yeah, I didn't like him as a colonel. Oh, you didn't like him as a colonel?

No, we felt like he's a carnival man. Elvis Pressure. Is that a little bit like No Teeth Keith, Watchbox's mentor? Mentor, yeah, old coach, confident, friend. What, what? Confident. What? Isn't that what you call?

Like when you talk to someone? Confident? You know what I'm talking about when you... I don't know. What do you say? I don't know. How do you say it? Confidant.

Oh, confidant. Confident is if you have confidence. Confident is somebody that you... I thought maybe it was the same thing. Confidant? Uh-huh. Using a sentence. No teeth keys is my confidant when I need advice.

That works. Confident. That sounds weird to say it like that. It does. Sounds like it from another country. When you say it, it sounds weird too because now he's like, you put extra emphasis on dawn. Did it again. Confident.

Yeah, that's good. Yeah, you did that. Confident. A person with whom one shares a secret. Oh. No teeth key. Hold on, hold on. Yeah.

He was your confidant. He was your confidant. There's no secrets except for just he's amazing. There you go. And that's not a secret. That's not a secret. America knows. The world knows.

knows what amazing person he is. Oh, one more. One more with Tom Hanks. Go ahead. Oh, it was a million tiny little things. Except when you added them all up. They just meant that we were supposed to be together. And I knew it. And I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home, only to know home I'd ever know.

I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car. And I knew it. It was like magic. Dude, all these are giving me chill bumps. That's Sleepless in Seattle. That's correct. 1990. Good job.

Eddie's our winner. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clivert Taylor the fourth. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football,

Tell me something good. Last week, while visiting Crater of Diamond State Park in Murphsboro, Arkansas, a place that lunchbox has been. And Abby, they dug forever and found nothing. This couple discovered a 3.36-carrot white diamond. Wow. 3.3. Yeah. Scott and Jennifer Freitas of Tampa found the diamond after just three buckets of sifting. How many buckets you guys sipped?

Oh, like 10,000. Oh, 10,000 buckets? It was so tedious. I mean, I can't even tell you how many we sifted through because it was just, dirt and dirt. It's all over my face and I was sweating and I found nothing. Yeah. Abby, 10,000 buckets or is he exaggerating a little bit? I mean, that could be accurate. It was a lot. So they found this 3.36-carrot white diamond.

The diamond, which is a lot bigger than the park's average of people when they do find them, is estimated to be worth a bunch of money. The park, which is the only public diamond search site in the U.S. averages one to two diamonds per day. Wow, a day? A day. There wasn't any found weird there. You got to go back, lunchbox. Did you talk to everybody that was there? Yeah, I was talking to people like, hey, and there was people that had diamonds from over the years, and they had them in little boxes, and they were showing them.

I'm like, do you have that many diamonds? You haven't sold them? No, it's just for the memories. No, not for the memories. I mean, they could be holding them for like investments to some later. Or like an engagement ring. Or the memories. They've been there going there every summer.

Or the memories, yeah. For 40 years. Oh, my gosh. Does it make you want to go back? No. Oh, even they, them finally. I'll be honest. I drove by it on the way to Texas.

And I was like, man, what if I just swung over there and got it. 20 minutes. And got a diamond real quick. 20 minutes for a diamond. Anyway, congratulations to the couple. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. This is a crazy story, but all of these felt crazy to me.

This guy who's on a motorcycle, he stopped and took a selfie with a cub. And then he got mauled by the mom. Oh. By the cub. I'm like, well, that's great. No, no. If you could meet up. by a cub, that's kind of on you, it's a little bear.

But the mom got, he was riding his motorcycle, and so he gets a selfie with the cub, and the mom bear attacks him, drags him into a ravine. Terrible. And we don't do a lot of stories where people die, but if we can prevent other people from taking pictures with wild animals, PSA. Don't do it.

Dude, I got to say like all, it would be cool, though. All those stories, I feel like I would do that. Me too. Some of them, like the elk and stuff will be like, look at this. I'm on an elk. A buffalo. So that's why it's good you get this reminder. I think I do it for me though now that I talk about it.

So police and emergency services said in a joint statement that tourists had alerted them to the attack. That's crazy. Because he was gone and missing and they went searching for him. And they found a series of pictures on a Facebook page that he had. And he was taking a picture where the bear cub posted it. And then after that the mom bear got him. Yeah, here's the bear in the, and he posted a video. How beautiful it's coming.

towards me. Oh gosh. And that was up. And you see the bear behind him with a thumbs up. He's got his helmet on and a thumbs up. And then mom bear just got him. About to attack. Guys, don't take pictures with wild animals. Yeah. That's it. Noted. I know it sounds easy. I know. And you know what? And I may not listen to my own advice here all the time. I may just judge while I'm there. But this guy probably thought that's a small bear. And by the way, he's not hugging the bear. The bear's like five feet behind him. He's like, look. Boom, got him. So that's the first story I brought up. What was his name? Do we know it? Yeah, Omar. Okay, so yeah, remember Omar. Next time.

I didn't know Omar. I know, but I'm saying. Oh, you mean next time you think I take a picture. When you see an animal, remember Omar. Got him. Oh, Omar, okay. Oh, Omar. Like say no to the selfie for Omar.

Say no for Omar. There we go. Just say no more. Yes. We got there. Just say no more. And we're not laughing. At that.

No, but it's that way he doesn't die in vain. Pneumonic devices help me a lot of times. Just say no more. That's right. Here's another one. This is from the smoking gun. This guy, he's 50 years old, lives in Kentucky. He won $167 million in a powerball jackpot in April of 2025.

The guy is a convicted felon with a 16-page-long rap sheet. Then he hits it. Then he hits the lottery for 167. He can't keep that. Yes, he can. There's no lawsuits if you're a felon. You're out of jail. You get the money.

But he got arrested like two days after he won. Wouldn't you? Just the general? What did he get arrested for? Celebrated? So shortly after claiming his prize, his 77-year-old mom, with whom he said he'd split the winnings, he...

What did he do? It doesn't say he said he got arrested. I think he punched a cop and... That's a party. Like, not a party I'd like to be a part of, but that guy's going hard. Like, he's probably been partying hard. Did he punch the cop because he was drunk with his winnings?

I'm pretty sure he was drunk and maybe he got in a fight with his girlfriend or something. He was down in Florida. I believe is where he got arrested. He went down to Florida without telling his parole officer. I can guess he. Oh, okay. So he may have that money, but he may be back in the pen. He spent most of his times in his life in county jails in Florida and Kentucky.

He was a persistent felony offender with a 35-year criminal history spanning at least nine Kentucky counties. His rap sheet involves violent assaults, drug trafficking, bribery, smuggling, weapons charges, even implicated his mom in a drug scheme. Oh, my. He won $167 million. That was a lottery winner. Did they give the, did the wrong person get blessed? Yeah.

Did they miss it by one? Those lottery gods. But if this helps lunchbox any, it's like. Yeah, the karma. That bad people can actually win. It's got to be nice to people to win. I'm not true. Good point.

Right. Remember what's his name? Nomar. This is a no mar. This guy's name is James Farthing. A 50-year-old from Kentucky. He won $167 million. Wow.

He probably got arrested. That's crazy. Promptly, though, but he's been arrested so much. That's just a normal part of his day. Do they say when he gets out? It doesn't say that what he did was significant that would keep him in for a long time. But if you have such a long history, they keep you in longer because you're an idiot and you keep getting arrested. Did he choose the lump sum?

It doesn't say anything. I was reading a story, though, about the $2 billion winner a few years ago. And he's like in his 30s or something. And he went two billion bucks. So he took the lump sum. which was like one point something billion. Then after taxes, it was like $860 million. So he had $860.

I'm just doing rough math here. And he bought like a $40 million mansion, a $20 million mansion, bought all these massive houses, bought all these crazy cars. And I know what you're thinking, but it ain't true. He still got tons of money. Yeah.

So rich. Well, it's investments too. I don't know that he invested anything, but he doesn't even need investments. Yeah. Like he has that much money. That he did all that. He spent all that on all the.

properties and he still had like $500 million left. I remember that, dude. Yeah. Yeah, lucky people. So, someday, man. What's up? Why do the guy with all the criminal history win the lottery lunchbox? I'm trying to figure that out.

Oh, you have a theory? I've thought about it and I think maybe, man, but he bought the ticket because he said he'd split it with his mom. Maybe his ticket. Maybe the lottery gods are saying, look, man, it's time to go straight. struggled for so long you were doing all wrong. This is your one chance. And two days later, we'll pay you $167 million to not commit crimes. Right. That's a job I'd like to have. Yeah. And then he couldn't even do it. Two days later, he's committing crimes, allegedly. What if you commit a crime? What if this is it? This is how he wins.

Because you've tried other things, other winners have done. You go and commit a crime and then buy a lottery ticket right after. Okay. Try it, dude. Well, it says he had an altercation with a police officer. So I'm going to try that. Let us know how that goes. And get back with this. This bride put all the plus size. That's what they say plus size. Wedding guests at one table. Okay. I saw this.

This is crazy. Did the news article dub it the Weight Watchers table or she did? What does she think? So, okay. That's crazy. Yes. So I'll give you the story that. I'm glad you've seen this from the New York Post.

Under the guys of body positivity, a bridezilla set all of her plus size guests, including chunky, close relatives at a table labeled Weight Watchers. Oh my goodness. She did that. She labeled the table that. Yeah.

I don't think we'll watch for sponsoring it. I don't think they were all in the way watchers. No, I just didn't know if that was part of the article. I want to hear more. Thank you for asking. I'd like to give you more. What a bad person. Okay, I don't know if she's a bad person,

but this feels like the texture of something that feels like a bad person, right? Yeah. Or like somebody who says, suckable to be around. Yeah. Okay. My sister sat me at a table specifically reserved for overweight people at a wedding reception. The bride's older sibling,

a 32-year-old woman virtually known as Basic Dash D donut 2903. Okay, that's also funny. Her name's Basic Donut as a screen name and her... I'd have a new screen name to write about being put at the way of watchtable.

But yeah, I hear you. I hear you. After assisting her little sister in perfecting all the big day arrangements, the outraged sister was stunned to learn she had been sequestered to the heavyset seating area. What? This is so crazy to me.

Igor, give me it. Quote, I go to find my table and I swear to God, the little name card says wait watchers, wrote basic donut 2903. Not a cute table name or a funny inside joke, just wait watchers. I thought maybe I misread something. This is so absurd. It's almost inhumane, which is why it seems funny because it's like something in a comedy movie, not real. Right. Like, I almost am like, was she trying to get national attention?

You know, like, I'm going to create something. What's funny about that? It's not funny at all. Like I just was thinking, was she trying to do something that would land her a news story? I pulled my sister aside and asked her, what the heck is this about? And she literally laughed, noting that she is the only member of her immediate family who's plump. She goes, oh God, don't be so sensitive. I just thought it'd be more comfortable if people were the others like them.

What? It's a body positive thing. This is terrible. This is terrible. Man. It was the bride's way of turning a positive into a negative. thought. So is the bride like fatphobic or something? No, she said she wanted to feel more comfortable because like if you're the with their own kind, she's saying, yeah. With their own kind, she's saying, yeah, like,

if you're a bunch of skinny people at a table, are you sitting there going, oh man, I feel out of place. No, you just sitting there going, I'm living life at a wedding and you're having a good time. You don't need to worry about how somebody, like, I can't even wrap my head around this. And then, and then the person that's marrying her is like, this is normal. Let's get married. Or did he was, he was even aware that she had a Weight Watchers table? assumption, I'm going to do full assumption here. Because it's not too late. He doesn't know of the Weight Watchers table, but he knows

that she's like that. Because you don't marry somebody that does a Weight Watcher table without knowing they're like that. And like that can mean a bunch of things, but like that. That is one of the craziest stories I've read in a long time. They had a like an obese table.

Did they have different food or anything? And that she, and that she doth it. They rolled in like a trough. Like she did everything insulting is completely. Completely. That's crazy, dude. It's so absurd.

She disguised it under body positivity. It's just like, because she wanted them to do it their own kind. Right. That would be like, could you imagine if someone put, like at their wedding all the certain races at each table? Because I want you to feel. I want the same thing. Same thing. I mean, they're like a kids table.

That's the only thing that's appropriate. Like that's the only time that you can like segregate as like adults from children. Oh, man. I'm kind of for kids' rights. Or like, if you imagine sexuality or something? Like, people have lost our minds. All the gay people here. Yeah, yeah, that'd be nuts.

But it's her sister. She did it to her sister too. So, yeah, she's lost her mind by doing that table. But she also put her sister at the table, which is like double bad. And you don't even know. You go through the whole ceremony thinking, like, everything's fine. You're at this wedding. And you don't even know till the reception when you're like, oh, I wonder where my seat is.

Why does this table only have five chairs? And then she told the sister, like, you've been too sensitive. Yeah. What's wrong with you? Oh, that's the worst thing you say to anybody. at any time, but... Relax. Yeah, there works.

Could it be that maybe this table is away from the dance floor? That way when the camera is shooting, they're not taking up every picture. I can't. You understand what they're saying? You can't justify. And that's a stupid justification.

However, I would say that you're... You don't have the table anyway. Regardless of where the table is, if you don't have the table, the table's not close for in the pictures like you don't have the table

yeah because I'm thinking that maybe they were thinking if we look back at all our pictures and we don't want the bigger table but the bigger table shouldn't exist as my point regardless close middle or far away yeah and you're drawing more attention to the bigger table and it was her sister and it was her sister

well if her sister is bigger she has to be at the bigger table that would be like if she excluded her sister from the bigger table it'd be like why did your sister get special privilege and the fact that she named it wait Watchers. Yeah, yeah.

That's bad. Like, that dude is marrying her, again. He's in for a treat. He is in for a treat. That is for sure. Unless he's equally as obnoxious. If it was his idea, they found the perfect.

They're perfect for each other. All right. All right, here's the voicemail. So I've been busting my butt. It worked. And I think I'm going to ask for a raise. I already make decent money for the job I do. But I think I deserve more.

I do really well at my job. I don't break anything and I don't ever get complained about. So I just want to know what do you guys think I should do? Do I have the awkward conversation with my boss? Please give me some advice. Love the show. It is an awkward conversation if you have to have it. But this is what I would suggest you do.

Number one, when you have the conversation or if you're going pre-conversation, like have proof, like be prepared with proof for what you do that would constitute you getting a raise. have specific examples of your value. In the end, you will only get a raise if it costs more to replace you. That's the truth of it. You'll only get a raise if they're like, well, if he ends up leaving, it's going to cost us more to get somebody new than it would be to keep them.

So what you need to do is have proof, first of all. Secondly, know your number. Never go into a raise situation and say, I think I deserve a raise. What do you think? Okay, I think no. I think a nickel. So go in with what you know is your number. So you're going to notice here a lot of things are very direct.

So go in with your value, go in with your number, and also be very confident, but don't be cocky. If you're cocky, again, if it's on the fence and I can hire somebody cheaper to do exactly the kind of work that you're doing, again, it's business. So I'm probably not going to keep you. So, but be confident and that this is what I do and this is why I deserve it. So have the conversation. I would even send an email to go, hey, I'd like to have a conversation regarding a raise. Here are the points I plan to bring up. And yes, they can plan against you and go, well, I'll counter this.

But if they want to do that anyway, maybe you start looking around. So you just need to be very direct and express why you deserve a raise. but just know it when you open that little box up, there's a chance. And I hope you ask for it. You should ask for it. But there's a chance, though, they're like, no. And then you got to make your next decision.

Do you go back to work? Tell between your legs. Do you look for a new job? Like, that's a part of it. So if you don't ask for a raise, you're never going to get a raise. You may get a cost of living raise because that could be standard

in whatever the company you work. If you don't ask for it, you're not going to get it. And yes, it's very awkward. But it's not as awkward for the purpose. having the conversation from the giving the raise as the person asking for the raise. Oh, totally. Because I have that conversation four or five times a year. You may have that conversation once every three years, once every four or five years.

So it feels way more awkward to you. That would be my advice as somebody who has had to have these conversations. I mean, anything you want to add to that? I just agree with having a number before you go in. Yeah. Know the number. No, the number. And then just say it with confidence.

And then pause. You don't have to like over explain or say anything else. Like just say the number and be confident in it because that's the scary part. You need data. And also know if it's cheaper to hire somebody else than your place, that's a risky run. Yeah. Because it's not your cousin. It's not your dad.

It's a business. And as Eddie read in the book The Four Agreements. I haven't read that yet. Oh, I gave that to you. What does it say? Tell me. Well, you know the part about nothing your business is personal? You remember that part?

No, no, no. No, not at all. Okay. Hey, good luck. Except for it feels personal. It sure does. It does. I know.

That was the part of the four agreements that I struggle. I just like, God. Oh, you read it? Yes. A long, long, long, long. Yeah, she was like five years old. But I'm a sensitive creature, whoever, who's emailing.

Yeah. You're probably not as sensitive as me, so you're good. Yeah. Email. This is what I want to do. This is why I think I deserve it. Let's have the conversation. Prepare them for it.

and be very direct. Not me, not angry, not defensive. Be very direct. And you also might get a no. But you might get a yes. But you might get a yes. And nothing in business is personal. It just feels that way.

All right. Good luck, buddy. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay at home, it's not been good. There's a guy in Minnesota that's trying to help people in his community. He was like, how can I give them money in a fun way? So he started doing things online called Lute,

drops. And he has known as Mr. Minnesota loot drops. He tapes money to the bottom of something and then he leaves clues online and lets the community go search for it. And no one knows who he is. That's fun. I saw on TikTok a guy that, and he did this for his own financial reasons too, but he made this book. And in this book, it gives clues to where he's hidden all this stuff, like a Michael Jordan rookie card, like emrolled, like all over the country. And you have to buy the book. And the book's like 1999 or something. But then it gives you clues to where and go and find the things.

I thought it was a pretty good idea by him. Like he invested the money and put all this expensive stuff on places. And then he sells the book to people to find the clues. And like it's confirmed? Like he really puts stuff somewhere. That's a great question. He just makes it all. He just wrote a book.

Hilarious. I don't have the confirmation personally, but I believe it. Okay. Because he was the one talking about. He's like, yeah, I've hit all this stuff. And he was what's, but he's doing that for. money after it was fun, but this guy's doing it just for helping the community. Yeah, and he's not even rich, he says.

He's just doing it because he thought it's a fun way to give money back to his community and it brings the community together. Mr. Minnesota loot drop. Taping money. So wherever you sit down, people, whenever you're summer. No, I don't need to grab it under tables. Look underneath tables. Look under benches. That's good one. That's what it's all about.

That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say. Yep. That's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Brown, who broke the explosive story on Jeffrey Epstein in 2018.

The Morning Corny! Why does James Bond love to barbecue? Is James Bond love to barbecue? Because he has a license to grill. That was the morning corny. I have to think about that. James Bond is so old. Licensed to kill.

Yeah. Yeah, no, I got it. I know, got it. I mean, that's all. That man came out in like 90s. I mean, I know it like came out again. Ooh, maybe before the night. You got any wisdom of lie jokes over there, the honeymooners, or what are you got over there?

Well, Eddie got it. Licensed to Kill, the actual movie was 1989. Dang. Morgan didn't even know what that is? Morgan wasn't even born. And the morning and you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turn.

And you're here, Eddie and me lunchbox, Morgan, too, school, Steve Reddavit's trying to put you through. Mike D's writing his week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic so you know what this is. This is.

All right, let's go to the voicemails. I wanted to get your all's opinion on my wife falls asleep as we're watching the shows. And so I'll finish the episode. What's sort of the cutoff before you cheated on your wife? Two episodes, three episodes, or if you just go the whole show. Thanks, love the show. That's a great question. There's a nuance to that question.

I appreciate that. If my wife and I are watching a show, which we have and she's falling asleep, if there's half of the show left or if I'm falling asleep, one of us will go, I have to tap out, turn the show off. If there's more than half the show left, we will turn the show off. We kind of have a rule. If there's like 10 minutes left and the person's falling asleep, the rule is, hey, I'm falling asleep,

you go ahead and finish this episode. I'll watch the other 10 minutes tomorrow or the next day. So there is definitely the equator. When you go over the equator, you can go ahead and finish it. But if it's in the first half of it, we don't. We stop the show completely. So that'd be my answer. Yeah, you can't go to another episode.

You can't keep going. So you're awake enough to tell them like, hey, I'm falling asleep. Oh, yeah. With she often is able to go, hey, I'm falling asleep. Right, you're gone. Yeah, yeah. Same thing with me. I don't fall asleep.

So I kind of counted her to watch me, which is very selfish. But I kind of count on her to watch me if I'm falling. But also apparently I start twitching when I fall asleep. So she kind of knows because I'm twitching. But I would say in a relationship, there's an understanding of at what point you can continue and finish the other personal catch up. You can't do a whole other episode or two episodes. Like, that's against all rules. Go with Rick in California.

Lunchbox's wife watching Traders Season 3 without him. I don't know if this makes a difference. That show premiered January 9, 2025. So it's been out for six months. He probably should have expressed a desire within the last six months that he wanted to watch it, don't you think? It's just my thoughts. No, I think in lunchbox, if you guys had the deal to watch the show regardless of when it came out, it's a together show. Yeah, because we were in the middle of Survivor, and we usually do one show at a time,

and Survivor was coming out every week. We were watching Survivor and maybe something else catching up on Squid Games. So there was no talk of it being out. We're like, when it was coming out, we're like, oh, it's about to come out. But then we didn't really mention it after that. and she went ahead and watched it without me. I don't care if it was out a year ago. Dirty dog. Yeah, get fired out. She did dirty dog me.

Get fired out. She did dirty dog me. It was so rude and inappropriate. And I'd love to take his wife's side on this because I like to be in that position. But no, that's on her and she did you wrong. She did. Really dirty. Like very disrespectful. Are you guys now back on the same place? I mean, we're on the same place because I still don't have a show that I can really revenge watch without her yet. You'll find one. So you're looking for a show that she wants to see so you can jump ahead.

I really am. I want to get in there and watch it and then be like, oh, sorry, you watch that. But there's not one right now. You like that show? I never watched Traders. It's really good. It's so fun. Just the dynamic of, the first season was really cool because they did reality people with normal people.

So people that never played reality shows. And I mean, they were getting their feelings hurt when the reality people would lie to them. And then they brought all reality show. And I don't even know what the third season is because I haven't seen it. My wife could tell you. Good point Yeah, it doesn't matter if it came out five years ago or a week ago If you watch it together

You should talk about it before one starts the season Yeah And her excuse to you was Oh, I just, you know, I didn't think you wanted to watch it What? Let us know what you revenge watch I can't wait, man Me either man

I'm coming I'm coming, that's right On the Bobby Bone show now Trisha Herewood Are people used to you where they don't in your hometown here now, they don't, I won't say bother. That's not the word. They don't make you extra busy if you go into town. Yeah, it's really interesting because, because Garth and I do everything ourselves,

it's not rare to see us at the grocery store. And I think that's when people, like, if you never go out and do stuff, I think that's when you do it becomes a bigger deal. But it's interesting to me, he and I can be, we'll just take the grocery store for an example. We can go there a hundred times and 99 times, it'll be chill. And then that one day, it'll just be autographs and pictures. and I don't know why that is.

I don't know if it's, sometimes it's like, man, my friend, Deb says she sees you guys in here all the time and I've never seen you, can I get my picture? And then that kind of starts the ball rolling, which probably that happens to you too. And most of the time people just want to tell you they love your music. Or with me, they'll want to say, you know, hey, I'm making this recipe for blah, blah, blah. And my husband's a diabetic. Can you recommend? So there's a whole lot of different questions now.

Amy on my show, we were talking about you on the air and she said, talking about something from the Bluebird. And she said, you know, Tricia said that when she started that she was just kind of told to sing these songs and that, and I'm paraphrasing, so you can tell me if I'm wrong. And she said, but, you know, now this new album, this new project she has, she's actually writing some of the songs. And I was like, I did not know that. How accurate is that? The writing part is accurate. I wasn't told to sing the songs, but I was not a confident songwriter. So I picked every song I recorded. And so I don't look back and go, man, I would not have recorded. She's a love with a boy. When I was in college

at Belmont, I had a guy tell me that I was not a songwriter. I believed it. And so when I did write some in the early 90s and I never recorded anything that I wrote, but I just didn't, when I went to work with Garth Fundus, I never said, hey, I'd like to write something for this project. It just never occurred to me to even say it. He wouldn't have said, no, you can't. But I didn't believe in myself. And so anytime anybody would say they wanted to write with me, I'd be like, oh, you don't want to write with me. I'm not really a writer. And something just happened where the switch flipped a couple years ago. And I was like, this guy who bless his heart, you know, probably doesn't even remember he said it. Didn't mean anything to him. But apparently it's.

stuck with me, but I just kind of said, that doesn't have to be the truth just because somebody else said it about me. And it just kind of opened up this whole new world. So it's not a, doesn't take anything away from, I mean, I feel so lucky I have found the best songs in the world, like the song remembers when and Walkway Joe and she's in love of the boy. But it's just another level that I kind of got out of that shell and was like, that doesn't have to be the truth. And it's opened up a whole new world for me. I'm loving it so much. Never intended to make a record of it. It was really therapy. It was like songs in my younger self. And I never thought I make a record. Did you ever give up the big dream while you were here? No, I never did. I mean,

I thought, I always believed that this is what I was supposed to do because I didn't want to do anything else. I didn't have a backup plan. I didn't have a, well, if I can't be an artist, I want to be in the music industry, that would have been torture to be in the music industry and not doing this. This was all I ever wanted to do. I actually, during my demo days, one of the guys that heard me sing, this was in the 90s when, or the 80s when Paulette Carlson was the lead singer for Hi 101. She was leaving the band and they were auditioning singers to take her place and I got asked to audition. And I did. And I made it to the final couple of people and they flew me out to Denver to meet the manager. And when I, when I got home, I thought, I don't know if they're going to offer this to me or not, but I feel like if I take it, I'm stepping into a successful group that no one's going to be able to be Paulette Carlson or make people forget that such a successful group. And then I'm also kind of saying, well, you believe. believed in yourself your whole life that you could be a solo artist, but now you're going to give up and do this. And so I sent a letter and said, I'm going to take myself out of the running.

Wow. And I did. And I don't know if they would have offered it to me or not. I think the way they tell it, they rejected me, but I don't think that's, but that's not what happens. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes to us from the open seas. A 39-year-old woman was on a cruise and she has to post pictures on Instagram. Look at me all dressed up and she has all this fancy jewelry on. And her employer's like, huh, that kind of looks like the jewelry that she reported got stolen from our store. And they bring in the pictures.

Yep. She had stolen $100,000 worth of jewelry and got busted, posting the selfies on the cruise. Dang. I mean, you have them so you can wear them. That's what you're supposed to do, not post them? So when the cruise ship got to port, guess who was waiting? Authorities. I wonder if she told them.

I wonder if she knew the cops were going to be there when they got off. Or if it's like you call and it's like don't say anything about it because she may throw them overboard. That's jewelry. It's like swallowing something if you get pulled over. Yeah, it was diamonds, silver and gold. Like if I knew the cops were going to be there waiting for me when it ended, I would chunk it all overboard and be like, I don't know what you're talking about. So they probably said nothing to her. Nothing to her.

Then when they pulled in, she's like, I wonder why all the cops are here. probably to protect us as we get off. I can't believe she wore it on social media. Probably even think about it. Probably just wearing it. And didn't think I'm wearing something I stole and we'll get in trouble for it. All right, there you go. I'm Lunchbox.

That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Does anybody on this show like good news? Yes. Yeah. Great. Lunchbox has good news for us. And he set it up with who likes good news. And so I would like to brace everybody.

When we talk about the palette, it usually turns into a fight. Oh, boy. And if it's good news, then I know, I hear you. Is this about the palette? It's about the palette, but he says who wants good news? Lunchbox? I mean, who wants good news?

We do. We do. We do. I mean, last time, did I have good news for you or did I have good news for you? He had good news. By the way, for everybody listening, we years ago, like literally years ago at this point, we all put in like 70 bucks and bought this Amazon returns palette. We didn't know what was on it.

No one does. And then you get it and you sell it individually. years go by. And we made like 50 bucks. Something like that. Yeah. So, and it was a huge fight. Lunchbox, go ahead. Yeah. Well, I told you I got the email about someone wanting to buy

all the remaining stuff on the palette, right? So you guys want good news? You want good news? He's got it. He's got like a bag of Pigley-Wiggly. Does he have the envelopes for us again? He's got more cash. Oh, payday?

Oh, payday? Heyday. He's throwing out envelopes to everybody. Kuma! Oh, guys. Hold on, don't say what it is. Don't say what it is, Amy. Oh, my gosh.

You're ready. Get ready for some good news. Okay, we're all always... They're not envelopes. They're pieces of paper and they're stapled. That's right. And I've opened it, and there's $1. Wait for it.

And 50 cents. Why is it only $1.50? Because I never heard back from that person once I emailed him, but I did sell the, like, mosquito sprayer, big gallon jug for $9. So we each got $1.50. So why did you do, do you want good news? Guys, this was my point.

Well, I mean, it's good news. It's good news. You got a dollar. We did get money. Hey, click bait. No, we sold another item. No, but you did remember when the guy wanted to buy it all? Well, I never heard from them.

Well, I thought you guys were going to think it was that. And I was not wanting you to get excited about that. Click, click back box. No, click bait. More money. More money in your pocket. We do appreciate the $1.50 you gave a little jingle. I mean, it's money.

That keeps the lights on. That's it. It's barely. A candle. It buys me a candle. Another sell. Okay, let us know. We don't need that whole production, though, every time.

Why don't you just drop it off? Be like, hey, guys, here's three bucks. Come like that. No, no, it's more exciting when you guys unstable. Not when it's $1.50, because then we go, like, I saw Amy's face when she opened hers, and I knew mine was destined for seven as well. Well, I just was like, okay, he stapled up these little things

for all of us for a dollar. He spent more money packaging it than he did. Between the paper and the staples. Okay, well, everybody check. Thank you, lunchbox. You're welcome. Guys, everybody say thank you. Thank you.

No. Keep it. Yes. Just say thank you. That was worth $2 in sadness, the negative way. And I got made $1.50 out of it. Yes. Bye everybody.
