Lunchbox is back on high alert, this time over a full-blown Price Is Right conspiracy that he swears the entire Bobby Bones Show is hiding from him. And like any good detective (in his mind), he’s gathered what he believes is airtight evidence.
According to Lunchbox, he “busted” Amy and Scuba Steve whispering behind some curtains during CMA interviews. He claims he overheard Amy listing off dates she’d be in Los Angeles, and immediately, his mind did the math: LA trip + Amy + secrecy = she’s going on The Price Is Right. And to him? That was enough to crack the case wide open. Everyone else, however, is… not so convinced.
Bobby pointed out the obvious: how does anyone not know Lunchbox is nearby? He’s the loudest person in the entire building. But Lunchbox stands by his eavesdropping skills, insisting the curtains provided enough cover for his stealth operation. Then, in his mind, the plot thickened. Later on air, Amy casually mentioned she had “a trip to California” coming up, though Lunchbox swears she said “LA," and nobody reacted. To him, that silence was suspicious. Eddie even admitted that he immediately thought Price Is Right when she said it, which only added fuel to Lunchbox’s conspiracy fire.
For context, this all stems from Lunchbox’s own attempt to get on The Price Is Right. He took multiple days off work, sat in the audience for three tapings, and even got kicked out of one, yet never made it on stage. Afterward, the show joked about sending Amy to try her luck, and Lunchbox feared they actually meant it. Now, he’s spiraling.
He’s convinced the entire team is secretly shipping Amy to LA, filming an episode, and planning to reveal it only after Christmas break so he won’t be “angry” during the holidays. In his head, the staff has formed a covert operation to prank him with a grand Price Is Right reveal. Everyone else? They’re mostly amused and also refusing to clarify anything. Bobby told him the truth wasn’t a conspiracy, and that even if Amy was going, nothing would be taken from him. But Lunchbox insists the secrecy is the problem. He wants to know why he wasn’t told, why conversations were whispered, and why nobody is confirming or denying his theory.
Amy kept quiet. Bobby said they’ll discuss it “first show back after Christmas.” And Lunchbox… absolutely hates this.
