[Eddie]

It's the Best Bits of the Week.

[Morgan]

With Morgan Part two. She's breaking down the top seven segments from the Bobby Bones show this week.

[Lunchbox]

What's up everybody? Happy weekend and I'm happy to have you here. Thanks for hanging out on a Saturday with me. Or Sunday or Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, any day that ends and why. I'm just really happy you're here. Make sure to check out part one, Part three. This weekend with Eddie, we always kind of go off the rails. I always have a bunch of subjects written in my notes to talk about on these episodes, but for Eddie and I, it's like we just kind of hone in and go to town. We have some of the best conversations in real life and also on the podcast, which is kind of where they blur the lines and it's fun for me. So check those out. Now, the reason you are here is to catch up on the Bobby Bones show. There's been some questioning of how I rank part two of the best bits. So a little inside baseball before we get started. Okay? So one through seven. Yes, I rank them. This is part of my job. This podcast is part of what I do. But also I'm the show's digital director so I oversee all of our engagement, which means analytics on social media and seeing the stuff that's working. And from that, I'm using that to then rank segments because those are numbers. Numbers don't lie. That's how analytics work. So I'm going to use this as a teaching moment. If you would like to see something else in the number one spot, then make sure you are engaging to our stuff online. Our social media pages, Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok. It's everywhere. You can like, you can comment, subscribe, repost it. All of those things are engagement and that helps us understand what you're liking. So if you don't like my spot at number one, which trust me, is just as uncomfortable for me, then please engage with our stuff online. That'll help you and me at the End of the day. Now, I personally believe there's even more than seven segments that I could be doing because we do a lot of awesome stuff on the show. And you can check all of that out again by following us on social media. Everything is up there. And because my word of the year for 2025 is spicy, we're going to get a little spicy today. You're going to hear the imaging. It's going to count down from seven to one like normal. But I'm just going to jumble these. All segments are going to be put in whatever order and not paying attention to analytics. So let's roll with it. Coming in at this number 7 spot is some big personal news that I shared on the show this week. Let's just say it was a notebook moment and one that I will surely remember for a very long time.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's not.

[Eddie]

Different than the other question?

[Amy]

Good question.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it does. And I don't know what that means and what that's gonna look like, but for right now, yes, it feels very different.

[Amy]

But you haven't done, like, any of this stuff, like, way too early, like, fam. You've done family stuff.

[Lunchbox]

I did meet his mom and sister because they were in town. They were visiting. It was, like, an easy brunch. It wasn't, like, a big deal. Like, we didn't. They already had plans, and he was like, if you want to come, I'd love to have you, but there's no pressure and. Good for you. I know.

[Amy]

Good for you.

[Lunchbox]

It feels crazy. Like, everything feels very natural and normal. Like, it's just. It's meshing together so easily.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. Let us know. You know, I'm not going to prod for updates, so when there are updates, you let us know.

[Lunchbox]

I will. I mean, you guys can ask a question if you want to.

[Amy]

I don't want to ask me questions because I've been through this for too many times, and I don't mean I wish I do. Not just with you. Not just with you. Where we get invested, and then it hurts even worse when we have to get uninvested.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Amy]

So we'll just take it slow, me and you. We'll just take it slow, Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, we're going. We're going slow in the room.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two, time is precious and so are our pets. So time with our pets is extra precious. That's why we started Dutch. Dutch provides 24,7 access to licensed vets with unlimited virtual visits and follow ups for up to five pets. You can message a vet at any time and and schedule a video visit the same day. Our vets can even prescribe medication for many ailments and shipping is always free. With Dutch, you'll get more time with your pets and year round peace of mind when it comes to their vet care.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox is currently in a feud, and maybe not with who you think. It's not any of us on the show, but it's with his son's preschool. And honestly, he has a pretty good reason for this feud.

[Amy]

Number six, Lunchbox is feuding with his preschool. So I don't know much about it, except he wants to do a segment called are you team Lunchbox or team preschool? Now, I don't really know what's happening, but I feel like I'm team preschool before I even know what's going on.

[Ray]

Me too.

[Producer Eddie]

But.

[Amy]

But maybe not. Go ahead, Lunchbox.

[Scuba Steve]

So we got a message. They have an app on the phones and it says, hey, if you can keep your kids home today, we are short staffed. We'd really appreciate it. So many teachers called out sick. Cool. So my wife was like, you know what I can do it keeps the kids home, no problem. And then we get an email saying, oh, and by the way, we're not gonna refund you for the day that you're not there.

[Amy]

What?

[Scuba Steve]

And I'm like, wait, what?

[Amy]

Team Lunchbox.

[Scuba Steve]

Like, you asked us to voluntarily keep our kids home or come pick them up because you don't have enough teachers. But then we don't get the money back for that day. Like, we don't get credited that to our account. That seems bananas.

[Amy]

That is bananas. That's bananas.

[Eddie]

B, A, N, A, N, A.

[Amy]

That's. That's so crazy. They would think to not give you a refund because you're actually doing a favor. Like you're keeping them from having to do the work. And if they're not doing the work, they shouldn't be getting the money.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, they asked us because they didn't have enough teachers because it would be unlike the code is you have to have a certain amount of teachers per student. Like, and we didn't get money back.

[Amy]

I retract my I'm team preschool. If this is the truth. I'm team lunchbox. So did you say anything about it?

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I was just like, well, what do we do? And she's like, I mean, what can we do? How do you fight it? Like, how do you.

[Amy]

Did you just ask a question? Like, hey, since our kids. Yes.

[Scuba Steve]

And they were just like, oh, just. We've gotten some emails about, like, do you get your money back? I know, it's just a.

[Amy]

They should have said that at the beginning. I would say. I would have said this. I'll reply back, hey, I got you. But if you would have said that at the beginning, totally understandable. But we kept our kids out helping you guys to not have to do the work. We feel like an adequate resolution would be to at least if not refund us today, refund us half the day. Yeah, like, meet them somewhere, because that's wild.

[Ray]

How do you pay for daycare? Like, do you pay a monthly fee or, like a daily month?

[Amy]

They can prorate that crap.

[Eddie]

Yes, prorate.

[Amy]

Yes, prorate. Thank you. Yes.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. You backing you up with that? You said prorate. And like, it's like if an airline does something and they oversell or they need you to not fly, they give you a voucher or drink miles.

[Ray]

Oh, there you go.

[Eddie]

Drink tickets.

[Amy]

Drink tickets for the parents also as.

[Eddie]

Parents, like, if you're having to stay home, like, that could be costing you money from your job, depending on what's going on with your kids.

[Amy]

Well, they did volunteer, though. So it was volunteer. It wasn't like a school day that's not out where parents are screwed. So you have to.

[Scuba Steve]

Because it's not like a teacher work day.

[Amy]

Right. Because you could have just let your kids go.

[Scuba Steve]

Correct.

[Amy]

They didn't make you. But that's while they asked. And you're not getting anything for it because you are helping them.

[Eddie]

You want a voucher.

[Scuba Steve]

We. We were going above and beyond for you, so you should reward us.

[Producer Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah, Weird word, reward. I think just compensate.

[Scuba Steve]

Compensate. That's what I'm looking for.

[Amy]

Or just. You shouldn't have to compensate them as much because they didn't do as much.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, we paid them so we could watch our kids.

[Eddie]

Like, if you're an ongoing. If you're enrolled in school there and you pay month to month, then your next month should just be credited that.

[Amy]

I would email that back. Honestly, I would email them back and say, hey, I've been thinking about this. Completely understand. But we feel like we should receive a discount on next month since we followed you guys recommendation to voluntarily keep your kids home. We did that so you guys wouldn't have the work. Is there any way you can give us. I would ask that in a very nice way. And I bet you they meet you somewhere and meeting is better than nothing.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, Because I mean, it's like to me, I hire a babysitter and the babysitter is the one that goes out to dinner. It's like, what? No, that's like. That's crazy.

[Ray]

Same thing.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's crazy that they're not giving you anything. Will you email them?

[Scuba Steve]

I'll email them. I ain't scared.

[Amy]

No, I don't think you're scared. Will you email them with. In a nice tone?

[Scuba Steve]

I'll have my wife write it.

[Amy]

Yeah. And let us know what they say. I will. It's super interesting. They would not give you partial credit when they don't have to do the work. And I get it, people are sick. But you still could have sent your kids and it would have been harder on them. They'd done more work. I need to have a word with that preschool.

[Ray]

Call them up, get them on the phone.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Lunchbox]

We got some life updates. Amy's daughter turned 18 and went to prom. Eddie and his son went to Kendrick Lamar. And Bobby has an update on his bulldog Stanley. So lots of life things happening this week on the show. And these are some really fun ones to hear about.

[Morgan]

Number five.

[Amy]

All right, let's do life. Amy, from your life. I saw that your daughter went to prom.

[Eddie]

She did.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's junior prom or I guess it's prom prom. Like when I was in prom, only the seniors went, but at her school you can be a junior or senior and go, so it's not her. To me, I'm like, okay, now it makes your senior year one, like not that cool. But I guess a lot of places do. Juniors are allowed.

[Amy]

We had juniors allowed, but we also had a very small school. Like my graduating class was like 60 and the class before us was like 38. So they needed the people to be there. Otherwise going to be seven people at prom. But she's also 18.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she turned 18 on Friday night and then had prom on Saturday night and then was wanting to go to the prom after party and then spend the night 18. Her dad and I were like, What? No. Like prom. There's just so many things we associate with prom and after party and spending the night somewhere. But then I talked to the mom that was hosting the after party, and I felt better about it. They were gonna have just like a bunch of candy and snacks. I was like, perfect. And the boys had to be gone by midnight, and then the girls were just gonna be spending the night. And I was like, this is so great. So she had an awesome time, and I had nothing to worry about.

[Amy]

Junior prom for us. If you went as a junior, you kind of had to get asked, but as a senior, you got to do the asking. Is that what it kind of was with her?

[Eddie]

She was asked by a junior boy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Which was so cool because she has never gone on a date date before.

[Amy]

That was her first date. Prom was her first ever date.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And he paid for everything. And she was like, I don't even know. She said that. She said, mom, he asked me, this is like a week before. She said, he was asking to make sure it was okay that he buys my dinner. And she was like. I said, well, would you tell him? She said, yeah. Yes. But then I had to tell her because where they were going, it was sort of pricier, is where she was actually a hostess for a while. And I was like. And when she would go there and she would get a discount, I mean, she would live it up. Steak, lobster. And I said, look, he's buying your dinner. You cannot do that. She goes, it's okay. I already know what I'm ordering. The. The. The kids pizza off the kids menu.

[Amy]

Oh, she looked ahead of time.

[Eddie]

Well, she already knew because she had worked there, and she knew that that was like a good priced item.

[Amy]

Did you tell her the rule, though, about ordering the more you order, the more.

[Eddie]

No. Oh, that's why I told her, you're ordering something cheap.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Amy]

You get your glass of water. Call that a day.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So that was our first ever date, was prom.

[Eddie]

Prom.

[Producer Eddie]

Wow.

[Eddie]

And he was awesome. They're just friends, though. And he was so great. He did come to her birthday party the night before, so that was the first time I met him. So I'm glad we got to meet him before the actual prom date date. But then at prom pictures, like, his mom was there. She's very involved, and it was really cool. She got. I. I don't know if he has a car, but his mom, like, was like, hey, I took care of it. I made sure they've got a car, like a Uber. She made sure they Got around and she was texting us updates. I'm like, this kid's mom's amazing. Apparently he wants to play football in college. I'm like, tashira, you don't like him. But I. And she might, but she's like, hey, we're just friends and I don't want to push it. But he. I was just grateful as a mom that he was very cool and sweet and a gentleman.

[Amy]

That's fun. That's good. She looked great.

[Eddie]

She looks so great. It's crazy.

[Amy]

Life. My bulldog has holes in him. And so, yeah, I got some crap online because my dogs sleep in two beds in their own room. And some people are like, I can't believe you keep your dogs in a room at night. And I'm like, you have no idea. These dogs look like princes because we don't have kids yet. And so. But he had some. I told you, he had some, like, rash or something that put these big blisters on him that have gone away. But now that he's better, the hair won't grow. So people think my dog has bullet holes in him. My dog doesn't have bullet holes in him. He's fine. You guys are idiot. Not you guys.

[Ray]

Yeah, the people.

[Amy]

The people. You're idiots. So I posted like, like proof of life pictures of him over the weekend just to show, like, when. If somebody has a hostage, we need to see they're alive before we continue. I'm posting proof, proof of life pictures of my bulldog on Instagram just to show that he's alive. Bulldog stay sick, though it is. He's on like three medications right now for his, like, a stomach. I have to wipe his butt all the time because he have to wipe his butt almost every time. Wipe it like a baby kinda. I do. I don't even mind it. Like, it's not even gross to me, but I do. Dude wipes. I was using them on me, but now I use them on him.

[Ray]

The flushable ones.

[Amy]

Yeah, we have a whole process. He comes in and I'm like, let's clean up. Comes in the bathroom.

[Eddie]

Well, that's good. Because the way their butts are. A bulldog's butt, it's kind of like up or visible, you know?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Well, he would sit against the wall and there'd Be a little pop there. And so as soon as he comes in, comes in, I'm like, all right, let's go. Clean it up. And he's like, all right. Bulldogs are tough, man. They are. Eddie life. I saw you went to the Kendrick Lamar show in Dallas because your son made straight A's.

[Ray]

Yeah. Earlier this year, I told him, like, hey, if you get all A's, I will take you to see Kendrick Lamar as his favorite rap, his favorite artist. So I'll tell. I'll take you to see him anywhere you want. Because he wasn't coming to Nashville, so he picked Dallas. And of course he got all A's. And I was like, oh, crap. I really didn't think he was going to do it, but he did it. So there we went. We went to Dallas this weekend, went to the show.

It was cool. But you know what? Like, a couple things I didn't expect. I didn't expect so many young people there. Like, I thought I was like, well, it's kind of rare that, like, taking my 17 year old or whatever. But no, there were a lot of.

[Amy]

People his age and probably younger with parents that.

[Ray]

And younger with parents. So, like, I felt kind of, like, cool. Like, you know what? It's kind of fun taking my son to his first concert. Like, it's his first real concert.

[Amy]

What was his. Oh, like ours.

[Ray]

I took him to the Beach Boys, like, a long time ago. He didn't really.

[Eddie]

That was definitely for you.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

You dragged him along to a concert.

[Ray]

So this was his real concert. And to see him get. Get pumped and excited and sing every lyric to a song, like, I got. I got choked up at one point. Like, I got, like, goosebumps. So I think, like, this is really cool. He's never gonna forget this. So it was cool for that reason. It was cool. I mean, the show, I liked it. Nothing too crazy.

[Amy]

Those hip hop shows are weird because they don't do whole songs.

[Ray]

They didn't. But some of the main songs that he does, he did whole songs of those, so that was cool.

[Amy]

Like, when I went to go see Drake, it was like, baby, you're my everything. New song. Yeah, man. Lunchbox Live.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, man. I tried to get an outfit for iheart this weekend, and let me tell you, I am in shambles because I mean, I don't know what to do. And I'm texting my buddy Ryan and he just was scolding me. Burn it. That's terrible. You look like you're cleaning hospital rooms. So I don't know what I'm gonna do for this weekend.

[Ray]

What, you wear scrubs like an orderly?

[Scuba Steve]

No, no, I just went to the store and whatever was next to each other on the rack, I figured they put next to them each other because they match and isn't that how that works?

[Amy]

Like if it's usually on a mannequin.

[Eddie]

Not really on a rag, just like because they're hanging next, they're in the.

[Amy]

Same store they go to. Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, well, good luck.

[Amy]

As long as you wear bracelets, we're good.

[Ray]

And rings.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, no, I've never worn rings.

[Ray]

Really?

[Scuba Steve]

No, just bracelets. But I don't have any bracelets on tap. I don't even have an outfit, so I'm in trouble.

[Amy]

Used to give me crap for calling them outfits.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, that's what my wife called her. She goes, we gotta get an outfit. And I'm like, alright, whatever.

[Amy]

I'm just saying you used to give me a lot of crap from me saying I'm gonna wear outfit. No dude calls that outfit. Hey, look who came around.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Number two, Bailey Zimmerman stopped by the show and it's always fun when he comes in because he's got this huge burst of energy and hearing him talk about his life and what's been going on since he's really blown up and how he is learning to adult, all fun stuff. But my favorite part is that he tried the bop it challenge and this was so entertaining. If you want to watch because sometimes visuals are more fun, go to our YouTube page at bobbyboneshow.

[Morgan]

Number four on the bobby Bones show now.

[Amy]

Bailey Zimmerman. Bailey, we've been playing your song. I want to do this first before we just talk amongst ourselves. Here you have this new song with Luke Combs. I don't know how'd this come together? Did you make the call?

[Producer Eddie]

Yes. So the first time I heard it I thought, man, Luke Combs would crush this. But at the time I hadn't really met him yet and I didn't have his number. I was like, well, I can't just like, you know, get his number from somebody and then text him. So he invited me to play the concert for Carolina with him and then I met him and then we kind of like became, I would say we became Buddies that day. Like, it was like a connection. And then we sang on stage, and it was sick. And it, like, the whole show went great. And then he gave me his number. So then I was still a little nervous to send it to him because I was like, okay, is this the song? Like, you know, do you really love it that much? So I kept listening to the song and listening, and then I was like, one day, I was like, dude, I'm sending it. Just.

[Amy]

You nervous to send that text?

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah. So I sent him the text. I was like, hey, man. Like, I've been nervous to send you this, but I, you know, I really think you would crush it. And it's. It's just one, you know, one of my favorite songs that I've got right now, and I just think you crush it. So, hey, you know, here it is. And then he didn't respond for, I think, a month.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Producer Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Producer Eddie]

But I had this, like, insider that was telling me, hey, like, Luke hasn't said no, but he's been listening to it, like, a lot. And he's been showing a lot of people that come into the green room or and be like, hey, do you like this song? What do you think of the song? And he's like, man, he's just been loving this song. And then one day out of the blue. So I was like, you know, not a no. You know, he just not takes me back yet. So then he takes me back one day out of the blue, and he just said, this song rips. I'm in. And it was like, not. It was, like, anticlimactic for sure. But it was so, like, full circle moment.

[Amy]

That's a pretty funny story.

[Producer Eddie]

That's how it came together.

[Amy]

I wonder the whole time that you're meeting him the first time and you're becoming buds on that day because you did volunteer your time to go help, and that's super cool. Like, you did with me. Like, you volunteered your time to come. So we like you. We like you even before that. But I wonder your whole time, are you like, I'm just waiting for my moment. You're thinking the whole time, like, I got this song, and if I get close, close enough, then I'm gonna ask him.

[Producer Eddie]

I think it was more like, I've done a couple collabs where I didn't know people, and that's just not very fun. And it's never really authentic and real. So I. I'd already had this mindset of, like, okay, if I'm gonna do collabs, with people. I want to, like, kind of know them or be a really big fan of them or, you know, I can't just not know anything about him and then just do it because somebody told me that I should. So that was kind of my thing, was like, okay, I'll see if. Because I wanted to do the show anyways just to, like, do the show with him. And it was like a. I don't know, something about all that stuff that happened, like, really hit me pretty deep. And, like, it wasn't any of my family or anybody I knew, but just seeing everything, like, really hit me deep. So I was like, okay, this feels, like, really cool thing I can go do and, like, donate my time and, like, whatever. And it, like, I don't know, could help a lot of people and. Yeah, so.

[Amy]

And it did help a lot of people.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And then you got a song with Luke Combs about to play.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Awesome.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. So, yeah. And then I just met him. I was like, if we. If we vibe, then I'm gonna. I'm gonna send it to him. And then I felt like we vibed enough. He gave me his number. I'm like, we're vibing, baby. I'm sending it. I'm sending it.

[Eddie]

I wonder, though, like, is it just. It was Luke being like, okay, I'm just gonna sit on this song. I'm gonna spend time with it, and then I'll reply. But, like, you don't. There's no. What's up with, like, not being like, oh, hey, man, I got the song. I'm just listening to it. We'll circle back. He just leaves him hanging for a month.

[Amy]

But he probably knew there was an insider. Probably letting him know too.

[Eddie]

Okay, okay.

[Producer Eddie]

Like, I was mysterious.

[Amy]

Yes. A mysterious insider. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

On the Bobby Bones show now, Bailey Zimmerman.

[Amy]

So we have the leaderboard behind Bailey and the all time Bop it challenge. John party at number one with 25, Dirk Bentley at 18, Matt Carney at 16, and Kip Moore with nine. It was. It's a quick day for Kip. You feeling good, Bailey? You're locked in over there. He's doing his shoulders like they're getting rubbed, but there's nobody behind him. Okay, so he has the Bop it in his hand, and 25 is the record. Are you ready?

[Producer Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Guys, ready? Bailey Zimmerman trying to break the Bop it record. Go ahead, Bailey.

[I]

Bop it. Twist it. Pull it. Pull it. Bop it. Bop it. Twist it. Bop it. Twist it. Pull it. Twist it. Twist it. Twist it. Bop it. Bop it. Pull it bop it, twist it Twist it Bop it, Bop it Bop it Pull it, Twist it Bop it Bop it, Pull it, Pull it Twist it Bop it, twist it Pull it, Twist it Bop it, twist it, Pull it Pull it Bop it Pull it Bop it, pull it, Pull it Twist it Twist it Pull it, Twist it Pull it Bop it, pull it, Twist it Pull it Bop it, Pull it Pull it Bop it, pull it.

[Amy]

Score. 61.

[I]

61.

[Amy]

Flip that mic up.

[Producer Eddie]

My heart, I feel like we're talking.

[Amy]

To Tom Brady right now.

[Ray]

Wow.

[Amy]

How do you feel, Bailey?

[Producer Eddie]

Wow. First. First way through, I was struggling. My heart was racing. Still. My heart is racing right now. But then calmed down for a second because I locked into the groove. But then sometimes if you're not on time with the pull it, it'll mess your groove up. Then you got to lock back in. And I thought I was still going to go, but then, you know, 61.

[Ray]

That's amazing.

[Amy]

More than doubled, John. Pardon the leader. Our new leader, Bailey Zimmerman, 61. There he is. Wow.

[Producer Eddie]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

On the Bobby Bones Show.

[Amy]

Now, Bailey Zimmerman. Bailey, I was watching your social media and you were lip syncing all the way in the. In. In your car, but that. It was a car. It was a sports car. Is that your car?

[Producer Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Now you are a truck guy, car guy, automobile guy.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

In your blood.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

What. What car was that?

[Producer Eddie]

I've got a Corvette.

[Amy]

Okay. So I don't think about cars. Is that like, is it super? I know what a Corvette is, but, like, why'd you pick that car? Is it souped up or something? Cool.

[Producer Eddie]

So I would say I bought a Corvette. The first reason being my grandpa kind of instilled in me just like, gm and that's like what we drive. And that's just all I've drove. I had a Ford one time and I was just like, ah, just not for me.

[Amy]

Feel like a trader.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Honestly. And, you know, he's not here anymore. So it just feels like, okay, I have to be gm. And the second reason is so you know how, like, in Miami, like, the dream is a Lamborghini or, like a Ferrari. But like, where I'm from in, like, little Illinois, it's a Corvette. So like, if they were like, loaded and they were making it, they had a Corvette. So I thought, okay, like, if I do something that is like, you know, a milestone thing or something that, like, you know, I work for, the first thing I'm gonna do is buy a Corvette. And then I did.

[Amy]

How often do you Drive it a lot?

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Do you have tickets? Do you drive fast?

[Producer Eddie]

No, that's the thing, you know, I. It's twin turboed. So like I put a twin turbo set up on it. And what does that mean?

[Eddie]

I mean, I know two turbo thingies.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. But it just like makes it go faster.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but you don't speed in it.

[Producer Eddie]

No, it just makes this noise. It goes like that and it lets off all the air when you don't use it. Because I don't use it to go fast. But when you like build up the air and the turbo and then it lets off, it like makes this cool sound and that's. I just love that. So I just love cruising around and I go whomps. So, yeah.

[Amy]

What about the jacked up white truck?

[Producer Eddie]

Yep.

[Amy]

You sell it? You still have it?

[Producer Eddie]

No, still got it.

[Amy]

You're never selling that one. That was emotional. That was an emotional.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Honestly, any. Any of the cars that I like, build, build, like kind of like the white truck. I was like so mad at my dad when I was younger, when I was like 16, because he always told me about all these cool cars he had or all these cool trucks he had, but he never kept them. So I always thought if I ever have the chance to keep stuff for like my kids one day or my grandkids, I'm gonna have something to where I can like give it to him. So, yeah, I'm gonna keep so many.

[Amy]

When you say build. When you build. So what do you do when you build a truck?

[Producer Eddie]

Well, used to, I would be in the shop with my brothers and we would. And my dad, and we would be doing it ourselves. And now I send it to sh and they do it for me.

[Amy]

Do they know. You know enough about it to know that if they don't do it right, you're gonna know they're not doing it right for sure.

[Producer Eddie]

And that's the thing is like, I know how it's supposed to be done, but nowadays we're very fortunate and blessed to where I can like send it off to them and. Yeah. So definitely know enough about it and have done it before, but. Yeah.

[Amy]

Whose idea was it to come out at the Houston rodeo in the jacked up truck?

[Producer Eddie]

That would be me.

[Amy]

That's. It was awesome.

[Producer Eddie]

Thanks. Yeah, thanks. I didn't. I didn't know super how it was gonna go over, but I thought, man, how I can't ride a horse and I didn't want to act like I can ride a horse fair.

[Amy]

That's why I don't wear a cowboy hat because I don't. I respect cowboys too much.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. And that's like the thing. So I was like, man, what can I do? And then I thought my thing would be a jacked up. And they were like, oh, you could go out in the SUV's or you could go out and this or that. But I was like, man, I think a jacked up truck would be sick. And then we just so happened to have, like, this crazy truck that's like orange and white and like the colors of the. It was just like, perfect. Yeah. Thanks. Thank you.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was great. I thought it was a super cool way to come out. Then I'm like, man, because stone cold at WrestleMania a couple weeks ago came out and a four wheeler, and then he wrecked it. He drove into this to the wall. Like you had. Did you have to be specific because you're in it. You're like jumping around, you know, your arms or whatever. Like, they can't wreck that thing. That's insurance.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. No, we. We got to get.

[Amy]

Okay. Very simple.

[Producer Eddie]

Good driver.

[Amy]

There were like 70,000 people at that show.

[Producer Eddie]

It was. Dude, I was so nervous.

[Amy]

Do you feel when there are that many people you have to perform that much harder? Because that's a trap sometimes.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, it. It kind of felt like just like, man, I really gotta. I gotta pull up, I gotta pop out. Like, I gotta, like, really show them, like, it. I've always had that mindset of if I have an opportunity and somebody gives me an opportunity, I have to go like, as hard as possible so I can, like, prove to people I can do it, you know, at this level. And I was just like, okay. But I was so nervous. The first song, dude, it was so crazy. I'd never been that nervous ever at.

[Amy]

A show because of the amount of people.

[Producer Eddie]

I think it was just like, man, I really got a crush. And, like, there's a lot of people here and I know what they expect out of me. And, you know, I've had. I've had some fall on my face moments, you know, the last year or so that are tough. So I felt like, man, I got to really come out this year and prove to people that, like, I know what I'm doing and I'm like, I belong here, you know? So it was a lot of pressure, but second song in felt good. Then we were like, let's freaking go.

[Amy]

What's up at the Gold? The Flying V? The guitar.

[Producer Eddie]

I don't know. I just saw it one day. I go to The Gibson garage a lot, just because growing up. So I played guitar when I was like. I think I was like 9, 10, and 11. I played guitar for, like, three years and so got into, like, Gibson and, like, Les Paul's, and I knew a lot about it, and I could, like, kind of play, but then I just, like. Like, just like, put it down and got bored and started doing something else. And then. So I think I sold it for a pair of, like, Jordans or something. I don't know, whatever. But so when I got back, like, when I got into, like, singing and stuff and needed to learn to play guitar, it kind of helped me, like, remember a little bit. So it gave me a little bit of head start. But I always remembered, like, wanting a Gibson Les Paul so bad. So Gibson here in Nashville was always so welcoming and, like, wanting me to come in. So I just would. Kept going in and kept going in and. Dude, I have so many Gibson guitars in my house, dude, it's insane. And I. One day, the V was just staring me right in the face, and I was like, that is freaking sick. That's a sick guitar. So I bought it, and then now I just play it, and it's fun. It plays so well. I've actually learned how to play live on the V. So it's like kind of like my main. My main guitar.

[Amy]

Do you do the thing now where you have so many? They came and switch them. They come and switch them out during shows.

[Producer Eddie]

It's so sick.

[Amy]

That's a ball. That's a baller level, dude.

[Producer Eddie]

When you do that same. It's so sick, man. They'll come out and, like, give me another guitar. And I'm just like, I'm literally in a movie right now. Like, I'm literally in a movie. People are just giving me guitars. I'm just playing this. It's. It's so crazy. It's. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It's awesome.

[Amy]

Two jobs before you got into music. What were they?

[Producer Eddie]

So when I was, like, 13, my grandpa hired me at the family dealership in town called Speedy's Used Cars. And I was, like, pulling weeds at first out of the driveway. That was, like, my first job. And then he let me start detailing cars and doing that, and he taught me how to detail cars. And I did that till I was like, 16. And then when I turned 16, they wanted me to go get a different job. So I went and worked at this meet. It was called Mike's Meat Market. But then that's what it was, my whole life. And they would, like, processed deer during deer season. And then they had, like, a deli and, like, steaks and pork chops and stuff. And then they had, like, a grocery store, small town stuff, you know what I'm saying? So then it got turned into salt and strings butchery by one of my brother's best friends that, like, growing up. So then he hired me, because my brother called him, was like, hey, Bailey needs job. And, you know, will you hire him? And he was like, yeah, I'll hire him. So then I worked there. Doing what, man? A lot of stuff. Like, at first, I was cleanup boy, so I would clean up in the back, like, in the meat. You know, they had, like, the big grinder and then they had, like, where they would make, like, sausages and whatever. And, like.

[Amy]

So you cleaned up after they made after them?

[Producer Eddie]

Yep. So like, all day, then I go up and clean up during the day. I was usually in the freezer, like, organizing stuff or like, up in the deli. It was. I mean, it was like I did everything. I was a caterer sometimes. Yeah, yeah, Just utility, everything, whatever they needed. Did you learn about me skinning deer and. Yeah, yeah. Cutting. Cutting deer up and doing that stuff. And how long were you there? I think three years, two years, two and a half years.

[Amy]

And then what'd you do after that?

[Producer Eddie]

And then. So 2018 is when I quit doing that because I graduated and got offered, like, a job in West Virginia to go build this new pipeline. So I was like, yeah, that's what I really want to do. So then packed my truck, went to West Virginia, did that, and then that's what I did as the job. And then I. So I joined the union. So I joined the union in West Virginia, and then I ended up switching my union to the laborers union in Illinois, around where I'm from, because I moved back home. And then when you're in the labor union, I. What I wanted to do is pipeline. But then sometimes when there wasn't, like, jobs available or just nothing going on, you would go do, like, road work or building, like, railroad stuff or literally anything, like, whatever. I'm just like, dude, I just need to make some money, so give me a job. And then, yeah, so I was like, I. I was building pipelines, but then that kind of stopped. And then I was. I remember, you know, how. You know how the. They got to put the cones down the middle of the road when somebody's. You know, when they got to work on the other side? I was the guy in the back of the Truck, like, dropping the cones, dude, it was the worst.

[Eddie]

Was that nerve wracking?

[Producer Eddie]

It was kind of fun, actually. Cause you're like, yeah, because you. It's kind of fun because I got ADHD really bad, so I was just really focused on those lines. Like, it was fun. But then picking them up, the oil, you would go home and you'd have, like, oil stuck to you and like, oh, it was the worst. But setting them out was fun. I had. I actually enjoyed it. I won't lie. It was kind of fun. But then after that road job, I did some concrete stuff. And then my last job I had was actually this railroad, and I was. We had to, like, rebuild this railroad bridge so the railroad could go over the bridge, and we had to, like, rebuild it. And it was, like, crazy. And then that's what made me really want to be like, man, I really hate this, and I really hate what I'm doing, and I really want to try something else. So that's when I low key started trying to sing, trying to build trucks on the, you know, spare time. And then eventually, like, started singing on TikTok. And then now we're here at Bobby Bones.

[Ray]

Just like that.

[Amy]

How about. How about this house you bought? How you. How are you being a homeowner?

[Producer Eddie]

So it's really cool. I'm very blessed, first and foremost, Very blessed to have a roof over my head. Pretty big roof. Yeah, it's. It's. It's a blessing. And it's just a lot. It's a lot to take care of, and I don't know anything about it. So, like, like, so who do you call? I had so many problems with my house. I had, like. So I have this guy, and his name's Shonzy, and he is a legend.

[Amy]

Does he do it all?

[Producer Eddie]

And he just does it all. He, like, helps me out. He'll be like, hey, dude, that right there, you need to watch out for that. That could be like water. Look at this. And I'm like, okay. And he's like, teaching me all this stuff because I didn't have time to learn, but I needed a house. So I was like, okay. And then we ended up having insane problems with my house. It was.

[Amy]

I didn't get an inspection, so we did, but they didn't catch it or you didn't.

[Producer Eddie]

Basically, like, they just didn't catch it.

[Amy]

We had an issue like that.

[Producer Eddie]

It's the worst. And I'm just like, okay, whatever. I'm like, you know, all things that are bad are good. I Believe that. So I'm like, whatever. We had to redo the whole outside of my house and.

[Amy]

What do you mean outside? Like, the.

[Producer Eddie]

So there was, like. There's, like, wood in a lot of the places, and then there's, like, that wood wasn't sealed behind. So I had to, like, rebuild some walls. Redo the basic. I had to rebuild the whole entire, like, outside my house.

[Amy]

So he can do meat, he can do trucks, he can build houses.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Guys got all the skills, so.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Did Shaunsi teach you or you?

[Producer Eddie]

Well, I didn't do it because I've been on tour and I've been trying to get this new album, but he could.

[Eddie]

If you like. Yeah, if he wanted it was done.

[Amy]

It had to be done.

[Producer Eddie]

But definitely, yeah. Shout out, Shaunsy. Honestly, that guy is a legend.

[Eddie]

Shonzy.

[Producer Eddie]

So I've got this manager named Chief, and Shonzi comes of a world from Chief and all the bands that Chief has been with. So he's like. He's kind of been the guy for multiple people. And I just so happened, like, to get so lucky and get Shonzy when he didn't have an artist. So then now he's, like, with me and he, like, helps me keep my.

[Eddie]

House, be an adult.

[Producer Eddie]

Learning how to be an adult with Shaunsi.

[Amy]

Yeah, It's a TV show that's a series.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Bailey, man, it's good to see you, buddy.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, thanks. Thanks for having me.

[Amy]

She's been killing it. Your hair looks great. Never seen it so full. It's just so full.

[Producer Eddie]

And thank you.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You're just so happy.

[Amy]

Are you growing it? He's this energy. This is Bailey energy. Yeah, this is.

[Eddie]

It's just. It's like kid in a candy store sort of thing. Like, you feel like you're just living a dream.

[Producer Eddie]

This. Well, isn't this kind of a dream? Like, this is what we do for work. We just sit around and talk about stuff.

[Amy]

Or you play massive shows and.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, it's insane, but it's actually crazy.

[Eddie]

But at some point, sometimes people get to a point where they're, like, over it or they have a different attitude about it. But I love that you still have, like, it's all still a dream energy because you could go another direction. So I hope you never change because I love it.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, I would say that I almost went a different direction. I went through, like, a rough time like the last. Like, it was like last year, year before. I just, like, had this rough patch where I almost went the other way. And then I just, like, had this. I had this one day where I was like, okay, you got to choose to be happy, and you have to choose to, like, love this. And, like, right now, really, you're just not appreciating what God has given you. And, like, this is gonna be really hard for him to, like, show you what you need to do and, like, what you're meant here to be if you're just gonna be, like, negative all the time. And then now I'm not, because it's like, I'm honestly just grateful I'm alive and that I have an opportunity to be, like, on radio shows and talk about my, you know, stuff. And, yeah, this is, like a huge blessing. So definitely almost went there, but now we're back.

[Amy]

We're back, man.

[Producer Eddie]

Let's freaking go.

[Amy]

We're back. Bailey's got the new to country 2025 tour. Dylan Marlowe and Drew Baldrige on with. You can go to baileyzimmermanmusic.com and dates all the way until what's 9th? January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, September, all the way to mid September. Do you do your fingers for months like I just did?

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Do you know what month is? 11. 11's easy.

[Producer Eddie]

I usually just go back to. I just have to go to January. January, February, March.

[Amy]

You do fingers. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, that's what I was doing. Fingers.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

And then I'll look down and be.

[Amy]

Like, yeah, me same guys.

[Eddie]

Y'all don't know that August is 8.

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

And 9.

[Amy]

I know December's 12th and November's 11th. I know January and Fe.

[Eddie]

July 7th.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know the mids, like 6, 7, 8, 9 is when it gets a little tricky for me.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, what's six?

[Producer Eddie]

It's embarrassing. Six. June.

[Amy]

There you go. Yeah. I used to always use my fingers. I struggle with yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know months or any year anything happened.

[Producer Eddie]

It's embarrassing because it's so easy and it's only 12, but then I think we just make it super complicated when we, like, try to get in there and. And do this math.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Normally stuff's really difficult for me, but that one I can get. So I'm really proud of myself right now.

[Amy]

Nice job, Amy. Nice job.

[Producer Eddie]

Great job.

[Amy]

Thanks, Bailey. Great to see you, buddy. Congratulations. You guys go watch Bailey. Dylan, Marlo, Drew Baldrige. That is a stack show Bailey. Zimmermanmusic.com he'll be with us tomorrow night. Moody center in Austin, Texas for iHeart Country Festival. Watch on Hulu or get [e-mail]. we love you, buddy, and we will see you tomorrow night.

[Producer Eddie]

Hey.

[Amy]

All right. Bailey Zimmerman, everybody.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox is a thief. Yeah, that happens. He is a thief. Was it by accident or on purpose? That is what you're about to hear. And this poor sandwich shop man. They are the victim in this situation.

[Amy]

Number three, the question is, did lunchbox steal? Now, I'm gonna let him tell the story, and then we will. If we're the judges, do we put him in jail for stealing? All right, Lunchbox.

[Scuba Steve]

So my wife ordered some sandwiches from a sandwich shop online. Put an online order. We have five people in our family. She said five sandwiches, five bags of chips. And on my way home, I was supposed to swing by and get the sandwiches. So I walk in, and they're on a shelf. It has a bag, has her name. I open it up, and all I see was sandwiches and napkins. So I go over to the chips, and I get one bag of chips, two bags of chips. Five bags of chips.

[Amy]

Load a bag of chips in every bag.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, exactly. Get in the car.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Scuba Steve]

Drive home, undo the bag. I pull out the five bags of chips. I pull out the sandwiches, and there was five bags of chips underneath the sandwiches. Oh. And I was like, oh, well.

[Amy]

So now you have ten bags.

[Scuba Steve]

Now I have ten bags of chips, and I only paid for five. So did I steal?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Ray]

100%.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Ray]

You still.

[Eddie]

Not on purpose, but you can just easily take them back.

[Amy]

Yeah. So he stole. Yeah. Now, was the intention to steal? No. But you still stole. But why didn't you just look underneath the sandwich?

[Eddie]

I didn't think there was a lot of sandwiches.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, logical. I just thought the chips would be on top. You wouldn't put sandwiches on top of chips.

[Amy]

You don't want to crush them.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Scuba Steve]

Thank you. You don't crush them.

[Ray]

Good job.

[Scuba Steve]

I figure the heavy stuff's on the bottom, and then I look, there's just napkins, sandwiches. I was like, all right.

[Amy]

I don't hate the logic. But I check my food just to make sure, because they always forget either my sauces, my dipping sauces, or my mustards. So I always check.

[Eddie]

Just see if they're at the bottom. Yeah, yeah. But I know he did work at Jason's deli for a long time, so I think they probably. Y'all probably did sandwich's first chips on top.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes.

[Amy]

So. So you did steal.

[Scuba Steve]

So I did steal.

[Amy]

Now do you take the chips back?

[Scuba Steve]

That's the question.

[Ray]

We don't have them.

[Amy]

Did you? Well, did. Would you guys take the chips back? Yes.

[Eddie]

Next time I'm near there, I go. I'm not at that exact moment. If I've just gotten home and we're all eating. No, but I'll save them and go back. Why not like three days later you.

[Scuba Steve]

Show up, hey, I got these chips.

[Amy]

Why are you holding them for three days? But second of all, I think I'd have probably just not taken the chips back. But when I went back the next time, said, hey, I actually took extra chips. Can I pay for them? More so than take. If you're returning food. That's weird. That is in a bag. Yeah. Hey, guys, order this chicken sandwich. You guys want a bag?

[Eddie]

They're probably going to say, just keep it. Don't worry about it. But you can go back in and be like, hey, here's all these chips.

[Amy]

You know what would be the greatest gift to me? I don't ask for a lot, do I? Do I ask for a lot? No, I mean, I give a lot. Don't ask for a lot. But I would love. The greatest gift to me would be if there's security footage and they're trying to figure out who stole chips and there's a lunchbox grabbing bags of chips and they post it online going, if you know this chip thief, let us know. Heavens above. If you're listening and you want to give me a gift, please have this store do inventory and find out someone stole chips.

[Ray]

You know, when I worked for the news, though, we could call stores and be like, hey, do you have surveillance camera for this, please? Maybe Scuba Steve could call and ask for surveillance.

[Amy]

I don't think they're gonna give it to a random person.

[Scuba Steve]

Some random dude.

[Amy]

So I would imagine you just ate the chips.

[Scuba Steve]

I just kept the chips.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, I was like, look, man, that was an accident. My 6 year old was freaked out. Dad, you stole. Did we steal? Did we steal? And I'm like, no, we didn't steal, man. It was an accident.

[Amy]

You could teach him and do Scared Straight.

[Scuba Steve]

No, no. But I tried to explain to him that we didn't steal, that it was an accident, that there was a miscommunication.

[Amy]

But there wasn't. There wasn't. But you're lying.

[Eddie]

But the lesson in it would be to return it if you're trying to teach him something, because then he's going to like accidentally walk out with something really expensive. One day and be like, but I didn't.

[Amy]

Miscommunication. No, no.

[Scuba Steve]

But the great thing about a five year old guy, six year old, is five minutes later, they forget about it.

[Ray]

That's true.

[Amy]

They don't even realize unless they remember it. Like it's inside the fabric of them, which they may not remember it consciously.

[Eddie]

Like next time they see a chip, they'll remember.

[Amy]

My therapist tells me all kinds of stuff from when I was a baby. I'm like, I don't remember that crap.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow, your therapist tells you and you don't remember.

[Amy]

Yeah, I remember that crap from baby. When I was a baby.

[Eddie]

But what is your. How was your therapist telling you about it?

[Amy]

You weren't held, you were. Yeah, I'm like, yeah, like you weren't there.

[Ray]

How do you exactly tell him?

[Amy]

He's like, well, this is. Traditionally what happens is that people that have this kind of trauma, that you.

[Eddie]

Have your attachment style.

[Amy]

Your mom was 16, you know, when she had you, so you did. So. Yeah, I wasn't there. I don't remember that. But it still affects me.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. So in a few years, my kid may be in front of a judge. Hey, it was a miscommunication. They're like, no, you stole.

[Amy]

What if you taught him the lesson of we actually took these chips but we're going to pay back in a different way?

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, we can do that.

[Amy]

Like, we're going to see a homeless guy. We're going to make sure to.

[Scuba Steve]

We could give the homeless guy a bag of chips.

[Ray]

Sure, that's fine.

[Amy]

Or you give him a few bucks or whatever. Be like, hey, since this happened to us, pretty fortunate for us, this happened to us.

[Eddie]

It didn't happen.

[Scuba Steve]

No, it did happen to us. Like it was happening.

[Amy]

No, no.

[Scuba Steve]

I go in there trying to.

[Amy]

You also steal everything.

[Scuba Steve]

So I didn't go in there with the intent to shoplift chips. I literally looked in the bag, didn't see chips. And I was like, well, I paid for chips, I'm getting my chips.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Ray]

So if he gives it to a homeless man, is he Robin Hood? He stole from the store to give to the poor.

[Amy]

Some would say, let's box a Robin Hood. I don't think he did. He was forced to do it. So I don't know if he's really Robin Hood, but I think you could teach your kids, like the old premise of, you know, pay it forward.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Amy]

Like, yeah, we kind of messed up and grabbed extra chips, but we're gonna make sure we pass that along to somebody else.

[Eddie]

Okay, is Robin Hood? This just popped in.

[Amy]

Don't get me started. Because I don't think Robin Hood's a good dude.

[Eddie]

I don't think so either. But is. Is he Robin Hood because he was a Robin, like Robin people or.

[Amy]

Well, it's not Robin Hood.

[Ray]

Robin.

[Eddie]

I know, but that's Robin short for Robin Hood.

[Scuba Steve]

Like I'll be Robin people.

[Eddie]

Yes, lunchbox is a Robin people. I don't know. It just.

[Amy]

They think it's from the name Robert. Like the old ink.

[Eddie]

Yeah, okay. Sorry.

[Scuba Steve]

Does he wear a hood?

[Amy]

Robin Hood? I get him and Peter Pan mixed up a little bit as far as their clothes. I think they both were green. But he might have a hood.

[Scuba Steve]

See, I mean, Robin. I wear a hood.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he's had a hood in some things and some things he doesn't.

[Amy]

And some of like the other versions of Robin Hood. His name is Robert. So I think that's basic, like other countries.

[Eddie]

Okay. I was just picturing him robbing the wealthy neighborhood.

[Amy]

Robbing.

[Eddie]

What are you doing?

[Producer Eddie]

Robbing the hoods.

[Amy]

I'm robbing hoods all over. All over.

[Ray]

That's funny, Amy.

[Amy]

He's Robin. He's robbing neighborhoods. So he's robbin Hood. Okay.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan.

[Lunchbox]

Number two, Eddie is trying to lose some weight with the help of a tone. This is all because a story came out about something with this tone being able to help you lose weight. So we did a weigh in. He weighed himself and Amy helped. And now he's been testing out these waters all week. We'll see if it actually works.

[Amy]

Number two, we're about to have a weigh in with Eddie. Now. Why you ask? Well, he's gonna lose weight. Well, how you ask? By listening to a tone? Because we read. We heard that if you listen to this tone for 15 to 20 minutes a day, it actually makes you lose weight.

[Ray]

That's amazing.

[Amy]

It's stupid.

[Ray]

You don't have to do anything so cool.

[Amy]

So play a little bit of the clip. Ray.

[Ray]

You hear that? It drives me some weight.

[Amy]

I know we're not all I want to run like Amy said last week. I just want to run. So Eddie, every day from today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. He's going to do it Friday, Saturday and Sunday at home. And then Monday we're going to re weigh you. And the one thing we're going to agree on is that you're going to do nothing that you don't normally do.

[Ray]

Correct.

[Amy]

So you're not going to have 10 pizzas but you're also not going to starve yourself.

[Ray]

I'm just going to live my life the way I've always lived it.

[Amy]

And every day for 15 minutes, you're going to walk around listening to this sound. Yeah.

[Ray]

And it's cool that I walk around right while I listen to it, not just sit at a chair.

[Amy]

Yes. Because that's what they say to do. And what we're actually gonna do here, as soon as you weigh in, you're actually gonna start walking. You'll do it today. Love it. Like right after this segment. So there's a study. The team has found that sound waves can influence genes involved in bone formation and wound healing and now weight loss. And this is a 14 Hz tone is close to the highest pitch that most humans can hear. And after the sound exposure, there are certain parts of your body that react that helps weight loss.

[Ray]

If this works, I mean, we're gonna change the world.

[Amy]

Everybody's walking around all the time listening to this song.

[Ray]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay, so official weigh in. Eddie's now walking up to the scale.

[Ray]

Oh, boy. This is gonna be the hard part.

[Amy]

I would not wear your shoes. I would not wear your shoes or your jacket or your hat. And I'd take off your pants. I just do it nude. So we get a real weigh.

[Eddie]

And then when he weighs in next time you need to wear the same stuff.

[Amy]

Just T shirt and jeans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Take your wallet out. Okay. Eddie's now removing everything from his pocket. It is now time to step on the scale. Eddie's total weight is scale.

[Eddie]

What just happened? It was saying numbers and then it goes.

[Amy]

You need to listen that tone a lot.

[Eddie]

Do you think cuz it's your socks are on. Cuz sometimes. No, no. We. But. But we need the exact. And it's disappearing. Can you take your socks off, please?

[Amy]

You think socks affect the scale?

[Scuba Steve]

It's 196.

[Amy]

Is that some kind of Amy scale, like hip?

[Eddie]

Guys?

[Amy]

196 point. Hey, take your socks off. She's about to go crazy. Oh, my God. She's.

[Eddie]

Guys.

[Amy]

What do the socks matter?

[Eddie]

I don't know. It's something about the scale. Sometimes they're designed to be barefoot.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, the 0.3. The difference.

[Eddie]

196.2. Okay, Eddie, can I try one more thing with you, please?

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Can you tap it with your toe?

[Amy]

Eddie, can you lick it?

[Eddie]

Tap it with your toe. Okay, now step on it. Thank you.

[Amy]

No, Eddie, you have to let it go all the way off before you do it.

[Eddie]

Keep singing.

[Amy]

Because you're. Oh, my God. Have you guys never used a scale? Tap it. Now they broke. Now they broke it. We had to wait.

[I]

Why are we.

[Amy]

Why are we all done? Now you can get on it. Because it came. Zero. Zero. Stop.

[Eddie]

Is the battery low?

[Amy]

Look, There you go. Thank you.

[Eddie]

We got it.

[Amy]

One night. That's basically.

[Scuba Steve]

That is what we have, guys.

[Eddie]

It said.

[Amy]

You guys made me want to quit this show.

[Eddie]

It said 0.6, and it said 0.2, and we're settling on 0.3. But I will say it could fluctuate by those points.

[Ray]

Hey, 200.

[Amy]

I need you to go back and not breathe in when you step on because you're pulling in 0.1% oxygen into your.

[Producer Eddie]

Okay.

[Ray]

Yeah, that was a lot for point two.

[Amy]

196.3. Amy.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

You saw your.

[Eddie]

I saw it with my own eyes.

[Amy]

So Eddie is now going to put some headphones on, and for the next 15 minutes, he's just going to walk around the building.

[Ray]

Can I put my clothes back on, please?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Ray]

Good.

[Amy]

Please put your clothes back on. So we'll start right now. Eddie's going to walk around and. And we'll send them back. We'll keep going with the show, but starting today, and then we'll do a reway on Monday.

[Ray]

Okay. And what do I have, like a file that. Is Ray gonna give me a file to listen to? Is that how we're gonna do it?

[Amy]

That's a great question. Yeah, I sent you the file.

[Producer Eddie]

And then you can.

[Amy]

Oh, you put in your phone. Just put in your email. Hit it. Let's do it in some.

[Ray]

Okay.

[Amy]

Some earbuds or AirPods.

[Ray]

Making it easy, man. It'll lose weight.

[Amy]

Yes. This guy can come in so skinny day.

[Morgan]

It's the best business of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Lunchbox]

This happens to everyone. You buy online. It gets to your house. You're like, why did I buy this thing? It's so stupid. And that is what happened in the segment. Everybody admitted when they bought something and they regretted buying it. Or as I like to say, regurgit buying it. You know? No, Regerts is the thing. Go look up the pop culture meme.

[Morgan]

Number one around the room.

[Amy]

The thing you regret buying. This is PSA for our listeners. But also, we just like to get a good laugh in the thing you regret buying. I'll go first. I. And this was expensive, and I regret it because it's stupid. I don't ever use it. I bought the Apple. The headset you put on that. Everything's and one day it'll be really cool. And the technology is there, but right now it's just too much. It's the Apple Vision Pro. It has a battery still attached to it. One day we're gonna have glasses that do this and it puts up stuff and it's fun to watch game, but it's just too much.

[Ray]

But you liked it for a little bit, right?

[Amy]

Again, the technology is awesome. I just can't. It's just too big and too much. I regret buying it. I should have waited two generations before it because I spent so much money on it. I almost never use it. Things you regret buying. Lunchbox.

[Scuba Steve]

I hate to say this, but my wife's engagement ring.

[Ray]

What?

[Scuba Steve]

It costs a lot of money. She rarely wears it. So I feel like it's kind of like, why did we buy something that is going to just not be on your finger all the time? So we told her that it seems like it's a waste of money.

[Ray]

What about your wedding ring? Because you don't wear that cheaper, though.

[Scuba Steve]

What was that, $25?

[Amy]

I mean, mine was rubber. One was.

[Ray]

Well, yeah, even. But the real ones are a little more than 25.

[Amy]

This is my. This one I wear all the time.

[Ray]

That's not the one you did at the wedding, though.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I was stupid on that one. I bought mine. Wait, mine was stupid?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, but I mean, I'm like, my wife wanted this one. Oh, it has diamonds. It's so sparkly. It's so cool. And she picked it out and I go buy it. And now it's like, ah, Whenever we get dressed up to go to something, she'll put it on, like day to day. Shame wearing that thing. So it just sits in a bowl on her little dresser. And I'm like, that's a waste of money, guys. Like, I hate to say it. The engagement ring is a waste of money.

[Amy]

Would you say that to her and record it without her knowing and bring it back in?

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, just.

[Amy]

Yeah, just run about. But have it be like, hey, we were talking on the show about things we regret spending so much money on. And I said, I regret spending so much on your engagement ring. And then just feel it out. And then if she's like, well, they say, well, since you don't really wear it, you think we could trade it for a smaller one that you would wear and take some of that money and try that.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Amy]

See what happens.

[Scuba Steve]

All right, I'll give it a go.

[Bobby Bones]

Good luck.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, yeah. When you. When I. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Scuba Steve]

That's the first thing that popped in my head when you said it.

[Amy]

Give it a go.

[Eddie]

Any things you regret buying my face fitness membership.

[Amy]

Oh, this is. What is that a reoccurring payment as well?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I'm gonna cancel it.

[Amy]

So tell us more.

[Eddie]

Well, I've been paying monthly money for someone to give me workouts for my face because I quit getting Botox and now there's so many free things on YouTube. But I thought having access to the membership was gonna get me all kinds of things. Really. It's just, like, more busy work, and I don't even know if it's working actually, so. And I ordered all these things. Like, I got these rubber gloves so I can massage inside my mouth and massage my tongue because apparently that plays a role. And I ordered those balls that I like rub on my.

[Amy]

What even is your life? Amy's sitting around with gloves, rubbing the inside of her mouth, paying 9.99amonth. Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so I did. I just feel like it was not. It was a waste of money.

[Amy]

So that's.

[Eddie]

So don't. Don't do it. Just watch the free stuff on YouTube.

[Amy]

I don't think anybody was going to do it, but we weren't thinking about it.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, but.

[Amy]

Okay, good. Thank you for sharing that, Eddie.

[Ray]

Ping pong table, man, I thought my kids were going to love it. We were going to have ping pong tournaments every weekend. We probably played for two weeks. And now it's just in the corner of my garage.

[Amy]

That's a big waster. I had one of those at one time. Got a big Arkansas Razorback one, too. Never played. But I would also say, anybody, that if you're not playing competitive pool and you're like, I want to buy a pool table, it ends up just being somewhere you throw your clothes. Same thing with a treadmill. If you are so inspired, you want to buy a treadmill, but you really haven't, like, been on a treadmill at the gym a lot to know that you really want to use one. You already use one. You ain't going to use it. It's going to be where you hang your clothes off of.

[Ray]

And they're not cheap.

[Amy]

But I only say this because I've done all those. Pool table, treadmill, bought all that, and then just stole my clothes on it the whole time. Morgan, you want to close it out? You have anything?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, this is like. You know when you see, like, kind of an infomercial, you're like, that'd be so cool to use. There was like, this. This Little strawberry thing that was supposed to take the top off the strawberry and pull it out.

[Amy]

It's like. Like the literal strawberry. You bought a little.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like, you get a strawberry, you get this little tool and it takes out the stem and pulls it out. Guys, I bought it. I used it one time. It never actually worked in the way that I wanted. And I was like, why did I buy this stupid thing? It was supposed to make my life easier.

[Amy]

You reminded me I bought that thing to check for cameras and hotel rooms. I've been to like four hotels. I keep forgetting it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you have to take it.

[Amy]

I think in theory it's a great idea, but my wife reminded me because I was looking for an Internet jammer last night online, and she was like, why are you looking for an Internet jammer? I was like, well, I saw on tv, I'd love to go to place and jam the Internet. And so. Yeah. And she was like, this is gonna be like when you bought that hotel thing where you look for cameras. I was like, oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah, we're stupid.

[Ray]

When we were in la, I'm like, dude, where's that thing? I want to scan my room. He's like, I forgot it.

[Amy]

I forgot it.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Lunchbox]

That is all for the best bits this weekend, everybody. Thanks for hanging out. Hopefully you enjoyed the inside baseball and the top seven segments from the show this week. I'm excited to have you guys back next week again, check out part one, part three this weekend with Eddie. Super fun stuff, but, you know, I'll give you a little hint. If you don't like relationship stuff or hearing about how Eddie and his wife met and how he knew she was the one, then don't listen to part one. And if you want to check out a new podcast this weekend, mine is called Take this personally. We had lots of great reviews on that this week. It was so fun to see all of you guys share how the podcast has helped you. The whole goal of it is to help people feel less alone in some of their hardest struggles. So that is what we are doing over there. And as always, like I've mentioned here, follow the show obbyboneshow, all the things subscribe on YouTube. That would be awesome. Okay, bye.
