Key Segments & Highlights

---

1. Appraisal Showdown with Dr. Laurie (Antiques Expert)

Segment Start: [04:17] – [27:44]

Summary: Dr. Laurie, PhD in Art and Architectural History, returned to the show for a live Goodwill/antique store “pick and appraisal.” Each show member brought in vintage finds; Dr. Laurie gave colorful, insightful evaluations—some struck (modest) gold, others didn’t. The segment sparked laughs, disbelief over surprising values, and tips for would-be thrifters.

Notable Moments:

• Dr. Laurie’s Renoir Story ([06:26]):
  She recounted identifying a real Renoir painting, bought for $275 and appraised at $2.1 million:
  “It says, 'pour le monde, Auguste Renoir.' ...I go, oh yeah, it’s real... It’s worth $2.1 million.”
  — Dr. Laurie
• The George Washington Wallet ([08:05]):
  A family brought in Washington’s actual wallet ("worth maybe $3 million")—reinforcing her point:
  “I’ve been saying it since I started the tour in 1998. You have it, it’s in your house.”

Show Members' Finds:

• Amy’s African Lion Artwork:
  Turned out to be a lithograph print (“good reproduction print”) worth $150, purchased for $5.99.
  “So could she put it on eBay and make 50 bucks, you think?” — Bobby ([12:05])
• Eddie’s Pencil-Signed Print:
  Worth $350 retail, bought for $7. Dr. Laurie: “Michael Sloan is a very well known artist of these kinds of pieces. Retail value on this piece is $350.”
• Lunchbox’s 'Mayflower' Figurines:
  Actually 75-year-old Japanese reproductions—worth $100 for the pair, bought for $6; value dropped when Dr. Laurie noticed a broken finger.
  “Are you disappointed?” – Bobby
  “Yeah.” – Lunchbox ([18:26])
• Bobby’s Vintage Leather Football Helmet:
  Bought for $28, valued at $75 (“mice have been in here eating this…”).

Tips for Thrifters & Resellers:

• The back of paintings can reveal more than the front.
• Condition and completeness (e.g., unbroken sets, intact fingers!) matter.
• Resellers should “cross-list” items on multiple platforms for maximum exposure.
• Parts reselling is a huge business.
• Sports collectibles and vintage cards hold long-term value.

Memorable Quotes:

• “I tell everybody if you can get something for 10 and then flip it...and you’re gonna get a hundred percent, you’re doing great.” – Dr. Laurie ([18:22])
• “Just because it's yours, you think it's not valuable. But I'm telling you, it's out there.” – Dr. Laurie ([08:05])

2. Crime Stoppers: Amy’s Expired Driver’s License Fiasco

Segment Start: [31:34] – [37:12]

Summary: Amy’s vulnerability—confessing her license was expired—turned into comedy and mock drama. Lunchbox, ever the mischief-maker, called Crime Stoppers live on air to “turn her in.” The show debated whether real police would show up, Amy’s risk of arrest, and Lunchbox’s real motives.

Notable Quote:
“Lunchbox called Crime Stoppers on Amy.” – Bobby ([32:13])

• "Her name is Amy Brown, and she has been driving without a license. Her license is expired, and she has admitted to being on the roads without her license." – Lunchbox, in his tip-off call ([33:08])
• Amy was only “nervous” about being pulled over, reasoning:
  “If I had any previous warrants, then they could take me in. But that’s not arrest.” ([35:26])

Memorable Playfulness:
Lunchbox’s desire for a $5,000 reward and the show’s laughs at the overblown implications.

---

3. Knees-to-Feet Fitness Challenge

Segment Start: [37:40] – [49:37]

Summary: Inspired by a trending fitness feat—going from knees to feet, no hands—Bobby challenged the team. Only 8% of people can do it; many proved they are not among them.

Results:

• Bobby: Did it with ease (“You literally jump with your knees.” [44:46])
• Amy & Lunchbox: Failed—dramatic effort, minor injuries, and endless laughter.
• Eddie: Surprise success, underdog triumph (“It’s almost like God lifted me up in the air. That was crazy.” [44:34])
• Morgan & Scuba Steve: Nailed it.
• Abby: Tried valiantly but couldn’t make the jump.

Humor:
Physical struggle, collective empathy:
“Lunchbox, you tried, dude.” – Eddie ([42:37])
“My left—the lower lumbar is now in pain.” – Amy ([41:16])

---

4. Lunchbox’s Strangest Parenting Moment: The Great Sleepover Walk-Home

Segment Start: [53:24] – [59:35]

Summary: Lunchbox recounted his “craziest story” as a parent: His 7-year-old son, after sleeping over at a friend’s, woke, grabbed his backpack, and walked 2.2 miles home—before dawn, alone, dripping with sweat.

Highlights:

• Lunchbox and his wife, initially confused (“So they just dropped him off and drove away?”), realized the boy navigated via school waypoints.
• The team debated if bystanders should've intervened (“People saw this 7-year-old...at 6 am, wandering the streets and they just say ‘good morning.’ I was blown away.” – Lunchbox [54:20])
• Amy related to being stopped as an adoptive parent, reframing the “good Samaritan” dilemma.

---

5. Eddie’s 70 Hot Dog Challenge (In 24 Hours)

Segment Start: [60:14] – [81:48]

Summary: Could Eddie match Joey Chestnut’s legendary hot dog feat (but with 24 hours instead of 10 minutes)? He was confident but the challenge quickly devolved into chaos over “jumbo” vs. “regular” hot dog sizing, mathematical debates, and strategizing over calories.

Rules:

1. No vomiting, or he’s disqualified.
2. All hot dogs must be eaten on camera.
3. Minimum of 35 hot dogs, or pay Bobby $50.

Hilarity:

• Eddie: “We got a problem: Scuba got me jumbo wieners... This is not what we agreed to!” ([68:40])
• Amy did extensive oz-to-calorie math and bun calculations live.
• Bobby: “You should have figured this out before we started... It’s on both of you.”

Outcome:
Eddie ate only 20 hot dogs before vomiting and losing:
“My body just said, nope, no more hot dogs.”
“The smell of making a hot dog was making me gag.” ([81:17])

---

6. Abby’s Engagement Announcement

Segment Start: [85:02] – [91:22]

Summary: In December, Abby surprised the crew with her announcement—she got engaged! She shared the proposal story in detail: her fiancé asked about her nail color (big tip-off), played a playlist of their songs, and proposed at their first date spot.

Notable Quotes:

• “Okay, I'm engaged!” – Abby ([85:38])
• “I actually didn't think this would ever happen in my life... I love it. I can't stop. It's shiny. It's like my only diamond.” – Abby ([90:59])
• Sweet support from the team, Amy: “This has been something I think you've wanted for a long time.”

---

7. Bobby Bones’ Baby Announcement

Segment Start: [91:35] – [102:38]

Summary: Bobby and his wife Caitlin announced they are expecting their first child. After keeping the secret for months (and enduring endless speculation), Bobby shared the news with a mix of sincerity and trademark self-effacing humor.

Key Moments:

• Bobby: “We're going to have a baby. It's going to be our baby. But she's the one that's pregnant with it because she's the one that's been sick.” ([92:10])
• He recounted how “morning sickness” was actually “all day, every day” for Caitlin.
• Fans and friends speculated wildly; Bobby addressed random assumptions about IVF ("We didn’t do IVF, but if we did, who cares? Why would you even write that anyway, if we did, like, you don’t know that. You’re just assuming something." [100:58]).
• Lighthearted 'alternate captions' for the Instagram announcement:
  • “She let me do this to her.” (shot down by Caitlin)
  • “I think it's mine.” (classic Bobby Bones humor)

Quotes:

• “I've always said, I don't want to have to raise a kid like I grew up, and so we don't have to. And again, if it weren't for her, I don't know that I would have ever had a kid.” – Bobby ([99:35])

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• “How do you know it’s real? I’m the best in the country.” – Dr. Laurie ([07:40])
• “I'm just trying to make the road safer and a safer community for us to live in.” – Lunchbox, after calling Crime Stoppers on Amy ([36:59])
• “It's almost like God lifted me up in the air. That was crazy.” – Eddie, awestruck at completing knees-to-feet ([44:34])
• “So he literally got his backpack...walked 2.2 miles to my house.” – Lunchbox ([54:20])
• “I feel like a letdown. I'm really sorry, guys.” – Eddie, defeated by hot dogs ([80:57])
• “We're gonna have a baby. It's awesome.” – Bobby ([92:38])
• “I actually didn't think this would ever happen in my life… I can't stop [looking at my ring].” – Abby ([90:59])

Best bits of the week with Morgan Part two.

[Morgan]

She's breaking down the top seven segments.

[Bobby Bones]

From the Bobby Bones show this week.

[Show Announcer]

It's the post Christmas Blues weekend. I don't know about you guys, but this weekend always brings me some very down vibes because I'm sad the holiday is over, but also excited and sad the new year is beginning. So many mixed emotions when this weekend hits, but we're gonna try and uplift all of our spirits with the best bids. So the reason you're here on part two is to catch up with the Bobby Bones show, but since we've been off for the holidays, I'm doing a recap of 2025. These are the best segments of 2025 as we head into the new year. So you're going to get caught up from the entire year and part one. Part three this weekend is with Scuba Steve. We caught up on live, talked about all our holiday plans as if they hadn't quite happened yet, but we're in them and all the other fun stuff, as well as listener questions in part three. So check those out for some new content this weekend. And let's get started. Back in September, Dr. Laurie stopped by the studio and Bobby, Amy, Eddie, lunchbox, they all brought something in from a vintage antique store, and she had to appraise it. And it was funny because some people may have struck gold in a way. Obviously, none of them are gold, but others, not so much. And it was fun to watch and see her brain in action. So maybe we're all going to be thrifters in 2026.

[Bobby Bones]

Number seven on the Bobby Bones show. Now, Dr. Laurie, we have a PhD of antiques. It is Dr. Laurie, our favorite. She's in the studio.

[Dr. Laurie]

Hi, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Good to see you. Dr. Lori.

[Dr. Laurie]

Hey, good to see you.

[Bobby Bones]

What. What are you doing in town?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I was speaking at the Goodwill shop, Goodwill E Summit, where you can go and scroll and find all the stuff that, you know goes into donations and then gets onto Goodwill. And then I was taping for my YouTube channel in thrift stores and antique shops and such, because I show you what to walk by and what to buy. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's cool. And people have done really well following the YouTube channel and making money. You know, I've had some wonderful stories, people who have said, I hated a job. I followed your videos. And you know what, Dr. Laurie? I was able to quit that job and do this full time just by.

[Bobby Bones]

Going and, like, thrifting, but finding stuff to resell. Yeah, that's crazy.

[Dr. Laurie]

And watching my videos, I had one woman who got in touch with me and she said, Dr. Lurie, I needed a medical procedure. It was a lot of money. I couldn't afford it. And I watched the videos. I did what you said. I resold it. I did it the way you told me to do it, blah, blah. And so that was exciting. And educating a child, that's a big deal, right? So was able to save money doing this reselling. Some of it's a side Hustle. Some of it's just their full time jobs now. So it's cool. It's cool to have an impact like that.

[Bobby Bones]

And you have a PhD in this?

[Dr. Laurie]

I have a PhD in art and Architectural history from Penn State.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you study when you're getting a PhD in this?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I worked in museums because I was a poor kid in New Haven, Connecticut. And basically the idea was I wanted to be around pretty things, right? Because I didn't have pretty things. So I lived about. I grew up five minutes from the Yale campus and I used to go to the museum and you could just go in for free and look around. So I studied museum studies and art history. I got the PhD after getting a swimming scholarship at the University of Michigan. And so I always had to go on scholarships, whether it was sports or something, or smarts, whatever it was. And anyway, so long story short, that's what you study. You basically study the construction of objects and the history around it. So you have to know what's going on in a time period and why that object is important in that time period.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you had anybody? Or what is your most successful story of somebody bringing something to you and you got to reveal to them that the value was so much more than they thought?

[Dr. Laurie]

A gentleman. I was appearing on my tour in Virginia. A gentleman was in Rhode Island. He had purchased a painting in Boston. He paid $275 for the painting. And he said, I want you to look at it because everybody's telling me it's a fake. So he drives it from Rhode island to Virginia and I look at it during my, one of my appraisal shows. And I said, well, there's a dust screen on the back. That's the piece of paper on the back of a canvas. I rip off the canvas. I rip off the paper on the back of the campus. It says, pour le monde, Auguste Renoir. So by my hand I painted it. Auguste Renoir, the great French impressionist. So of course everybody's gonna think it's not real, right? Well, there's a studio address for the 1918 World War II era studio that he abandoned because of the war. There is a dealer's mark on it. And I go, oh yeah, it's real. And he just looks at me and he says, what do you mean it's real? I said, it's definitely real. It's a portrait of a woman leaning on her hand. Her name was Gabrielle, one of the very famous models of the French impressionist Renoir. And I said, oh. I said, so where'd you get it? I got it at auction. I said, well, you know, it's worth $2.1 million.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Amy]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh.

[Dr. Laurie]

Swear to God.

[Abby]

Hand to God.

[Dr. Laurie]

Hand to God. So he looks at me and goes, how do you know it's real? How do I know it's real? I'm the best in the country. How do I know it's real? All of the provenance stuff, all the background stuff was there. It was signed on the front. But everybody thinks these signatures are fakes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

And she had. Her second husband died. They moved to bo. He. She moves to Boston to be with her son. So it makes sense that it's in Boston. It was one of the last portraits of his very famous model. Things worth a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he ever sell it?

[Dr. Laurie]

He did not sell it. He. I think he still has it, and I don't blame him. He's holding out for the value of it. Oh, my goodness. It's a wonderful example. And it's something that, you know, all the museums and all the art historians don't know about. So there it is. It's sitting right there. People have the stuff. I've been saying it since I started the tour in 1998. You have it. It's in your house. Just because it's yours, you think it's not valuable. But I'm telling you, it's out there. And it's usually in those homes that you don't. You don't believe. George Washington's wallet came into my appraisal show with an 85 year old woman and her 103-year-old mother. It was the wallet he was carrying when he crossed the Delaware. And they're going, yes, we know. And they had all of the history, the family history of it. When you drove up to those women's home, those women live in a home worth maybe $100,000. The wallet was worth maybe $3 million.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Dr. Laurie]

So, you know, and they said, we don't want to sell it. We're very happy. We want it to go to a museum. We think it's a piece of history. It's in a museum today.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Dr. Laurie]

The stuff is around and people go, oh, no, it can't be valuable. And it's not on ebay. And all of this stuff and it's. It's stuff is out there.

[Bobby Bones]

So I gave the show the homework to go to. A lot went to Goodwill or I went to an antique place and we just, we wanted to see if we could Bring something in, and it'd be valued at more than we bought it for, much like you teach.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And also we read these stories that are similar where someone's, like, finding an old painting.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they go get checked out. It's, like, worth $3 million. Now, I know that's not normal or it wouldn't.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's not all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. But it does happen.

[Dr. Laurie]

Sure. It does happen.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Amy, I know you have a painting for sure. So can you tell me the story of the painting you have and where you got it?

[Amy]

So I went to Goodwill, and it was the only thing they had there, at least that I could see, that looked like it maybe could be or something. Like there were some other ones, like, maybe my trained eye, but this one, just, like, it had a signature. And then on the back.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, here we.

[Amy]

On the back, it had something tucked inside. And so there could have been other ones, but I just. That was the only thing that drew me to it was the. The envelope tucked inside.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay. I'm happy that you looked at the back, too, because the back can tell you a lot of information for your listeners, because the back, what kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

It says African lion on it. Is it a painting of a lion? Can I see it? So it's a painting of a lion. That's a cool lion, and it says Renoir. What if she hit it for, like.

[Eddie]

$1.1 million as Van Gogh?

[Lunchbox]

Renoir is good, fancy name, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, you don't have to be French to be fancy.

[Eddie]

Oh, Dr. Laura has her gloves on.

[Dr. Laurie]

What'd you say?

[Eddie]

Oh, you have your gloves on.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Amy, don't say what you spent on it. I'm sure not much, but we'll see what she thinks the value is. All right, Dr. Lori's in with us.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh. So here's what she's talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

There's an envelope.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. So basically, what you have here is you have a lithograph print. So it looks like a painting, but it's not. Amy, can you come back over here?

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Dr. Laurie]

I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you get scammed.

[Dr. Laurie]

But I want to show you this.

[Bobby Bones]

Somehow, Amy owes more money.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, let the. That makes sense.

[Abby]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, Amy's got the thing in her eye that she's looking at.

[Amy]

Blurry.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it because it's all the dots or Amy's old.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, one of the two.

[Amy]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Looks like somebody looking at diamonds back in the day. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, oh, here we go. AC paint strokes, but maybe they're not like full blown strokes. Maybe they are dots.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's dots. But having said that, it's signed in the plate, which means when they actually make the image, he signs the work in one place and then they just reproduce it on more pieces of paper. Got it. All right. So while you think it's a painting, it's a very good reproduction print. Okay. It's very good. And he's very well known. He dies in 2005. Retail value on this piece is about $150.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend on it?

[Dr. Laurie]

Includes the frame.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend?

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

Let me tell you what I spent.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, we have this little bio, which.

[Bobby Bones]

Is good, but she doesn't know.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she's looking up the price tag.

[Bobby Bones]

Stalling out.

[Amy]

I was looking at the Goodwill price tag. Yep. $5.99.

[Bobby Bones]

So could she put on eBay and make 50 bucks, you think? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ebay. Good job.

[Dr. Laurie]

You definitely put that on ebay. Because some people just say, I don't care about the artwork. I'm gonna put a mirror in that frame, and I'm gonna put it on my bath in my bathroom.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Amy. Good job.

[Eddie]

Good job, Amy.

[Dr. Laurie]

She also purchased a piece that was by an artist who is known for animalier, which is basically animal pictures.

[Bobby Bones]

Animalier sounds dirty. I'm gonna be honest. It sounds like something you do with an animal.

[Amy]

I do feel like I used, like, tips or stuff. I've heard you say before. Like, I. There's probably other stuff I could have gotten, but something about that or the envelope, I don't know. There was something that drew me to it, and now.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, that's good. And you probably, you know, a lot of it is the realism of it. Right. It did look like an African line. I've never seen one, but, you know, I guess they're good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I would think they'd look like.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

But that's how it is. Yeah. No, very. It was a good pick.

[Bobby Bones]

Who all got something? Who all brought something?

[Eddie]

Oh, I got something.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Eddie, do you want to go?

[Eddie]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Will you explain what it is first?

[Eddie]

Absolutely. Mine is also a painting.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Eddie]

But now after you did Amy's dot stroke thing, I think that mine is also a print.

[Bobby Bones]

However.

[Dr. Laurie]

However. Okay.

[Eddie]

Mine is signed by the artist, and it actually is made to a guy named Chris. It says to Chris. It has the date on it and the artist signed it underneath. I'll give it to you.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Dots or strokes, Eddie? That's going to be the question.

[Dr. Laurie]

There it is.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know that. That's.

[Amy]

Yeah. Let me know if you can use that little eye thingy.

[Eddie]

I mean, strokes would be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's going to the eye.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He's got the jeweler eye in. Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you see?

[Eddie]

I'm pretty sure I see dots. Oh, these are very fine dots.

[Bobby Bones]

100% dang. Chris got a dotted painting.

[Eddie]

Almost. Almost look like leopard dots.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Has anyone ever painted in dots?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, the pointillists of the late 19th century have painted, of course. Dots, Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Dr. Laurie]

Paul Signac and the crew, they're not as important as Renoir, but anyway, so this piece is pencil, signed and signed in the plate. You want both? This is all neither here nor there, but basically 1982 is when he got to sign it. Pencil, sign it. But he printed it in 1981. You want the dates to match. Not a bad thing. It's not a bad thing. It's a year apart and he just went like despondently.

[Eddie]

It's not good.

[Dr. Laurie]

No, it's not a bad thing. So Michael Sloan is a very well known artist of these kinds of pieces.

[Bobby Bones]

You've heard of him?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, very, very, very, very well known for this image as well.

[Eddie]

And that image is called what? A watchful eye.

[Dr. Laurie]

A watchful eye. So one animal is looking as the other animal sort of takes a drink. You know, this reminds me of my Pennsylvania backyard where all the deer are and all they do is like, eat every plant I put back there. So same kind of thing. Retail value on this piece is $350. Whoa. I know.

[Amy]

Oh, that's excellent.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's excellent. And the frame.

[Lunchbox]

You've got to be kidding me.

[Dr. Laurie]

Not great. The bad frame, her frame was really nice. This frame was like, eh.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you reframe it and sell it?

[Dr. Laurie]

You don't have to do a thing to resell it. You know, you could just go, hey, it's here. Too bad the frame isn't great.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, sell that on ebay.

[Dr. Laurie]

And you got it for $5.99.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

$7 after taxes and all that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

You know, you got to pay.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. And they asked me if I wanted to round up.

[Bobby Bones]

I rounded up to donate. Look at you guys.

[Dr. Laurie]

They're doing good work. All these thrift stores are doing good work. They're trying to help people in the community. So hey, round up if you can. Okay.

[Max]

Eddie.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's nice. Eddie.

[Eddie]

Hey. That is good news, Dr. Laurie. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think he could actually get for That I think he could.

[Dr. Laurie]

Get, I think on like, only eBay, I'd say 175.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good. That's solid.

[Dr. Laurie]

But you know, in the market, retail, if you got it into an art environment, market online, you know, one of those other websites, platforms, I would probably say closer to 350.

[Bobby Bones]

Go to the clearinghouse lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I got something.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my. Let me tell you what I got. These look like they were made on the Mayflower.

[Bobby Bones]

He's already selling Dr. Laurie.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

These are not. These aren't paintings. These are, I mean, beautiful Mayflower people. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Like figurines, like porcelain figures.

[Lunchbox]

These are legit.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

These are.

[Bobby Bones]

So is that the brand?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. So expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

Amazing how much you spend on them.

[Lunchbox]

I can't tell you yet. And there's no dots. Those guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, tell me those are.

[Eddie]

So you have only two.

[Bobby Bones]

Porcelain man, porcelain woman.

[Lunchbox]

That or the people from the Mayflower.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The original people on the Mayflower.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do you see there, Doctor.

[Dr. Laurie]

Let me teach you a little bit about time period first.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, go ahead. Is that me? Let me do that.

[Dr. Laurie]

So no, this is not Mayflower. Mayflower is the 1600s, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Sure.

[Dr. Laurie]

These are trying to look like the. The 1700. Oh, these.

[Sophie Cunningham]

But you're close.

[Dr. Laurie]

They're only 100 years off. So basically the idea here is that you have two Roco figures.

[Bobby Bones]

Boo Roco.

[Eddie]

You don't even know what that is.

[Bobby Bones]

A heck of a Disney movie.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, does rococo sound good or what?

[Dr. Laurie]

It's good. So basically that is the 18th century in France. Okay. These pieces are made in Japan. Oh. And they're not made in the 18th century. How old are they?

[Lunchbox]

When was 50 years?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, 75 years.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Dr. Laurie]

Close.

[Lunchbox]

Those are great shape for 75 years old.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Have you seen a 75 year old look that good?

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly. No. Okay, so they are in very good condition. And one of the telltale signs of a Japanese reproduction is this gold little element down here, which basically look like little strokes down at the bottom. So that's basically what you're looking at. And you have the pair. So anytime you have a set, you always want to maintain the set.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I thought.

[Dr. Laurie]

So you didn't buy just one and walk away.

[Lunchbox]

That would have been dumb.

[Dr. Laurie]

That would have been dumb.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, so retail value on these Japanese. 75 years old. Retail value on the pair, what do you think they're worth?

[Lunchbox]

I was thinking probably 500.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, well, you're off by about 400. They're worth about 100 bucks. Not bad. Not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you spend on.

[Dr. Laurie]

What'd you spend?

[Lunchbox]

$6.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Still a profit. What do you think you could get on eBay?

[Dr. Laurie]

60.

[Lunchbox]

Man.

[Dr. Laurie]

Still good. $6 make 60. I tell everybody if you can get something for 10 and then flip it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

You know, and you're gonna get a hundred percent. You're doing great.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you disappointed?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

Are you really? Six bucks to make a hundred. How could you be disappointed by that lunchbox?

[Amy]

You need to target grandma Chicago.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Getting grandma publishers right now.

[Dr. Laurie]

Exactly. And don't be surprised when you see, you know, the 25 and 30 year old ladies wanting these because they want really grandma's house. The 50 year old ladies don't want it to look like their mother's house, but the granddaughters want it to look like their house to look like their grandmother's house.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm gonna go last. And so there's a small antique shop near my house.

[Dr. Laurie]

Did your wife go with you? I know she likes auntie.

[Bobby Bones]

She does, but not this time. I've seen it before.

[Lunchbox]

Before.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is a vintage leather helmet from back in the.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Back in the football days, back when they played with leather helmets.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Dr. Laurie]

And so I appraised one. That was Johnny Unitis. Yeah. That one was worth a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, this one is.

[Eddie]

Well, don't put it on your head.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm showing you it looks small.

[Dr. Laurie]

See, I'm with. I'm with. I'm with Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't put it on your head. I want you to show. This is. This is actually the helmet.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's all they have.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Abby]

Wow.

[Show Announcer]

Amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gross.

[Amy]

Ew.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. I'm sorry. You put it on your head. Yeah, do that. Do more. You did.

[Eddie]

Okay. Oh, she's smelling.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if you could even, like, you're the expert. What do you think there?

[Dr. Laurie]

See the construction on that?

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't see very well. Yeah.

[Eddie]

What does it have on the inside, Dr. Laurie?

[Dr. Laurie]

Like wool. On the inside is leather. Right. On the inside you've got reinforcements on both sides. And you can see that it's been in. And I. I don't want to say this because you put it on your head.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

But in here, mice have been in here eating this.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, that's. That's old school.

[Dr. Laurie]

So that is old school.

[Eddie]

Old mice.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes. Old dead mice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Dr. Laurie]

Anyway, so that's what you got. You have the original string, too. That's unusual that you'd have the little shoestring here. I think the string actually was a later replacement because that used to be leather in there. Used to be leather to attach it so it wouldn't fall off. Not that it's going to protect you much. I don't like the green at all.

[Lunchbox]

Packers.

[Bobby Bones]

Newt Rockne.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's not that I don't like the Green Bay packers, but. No, it's just that I don't like the green on it. So I think this particular piece, well, it dates through the early years of the 20th century. What'd you pay for it? You probably paid more in an antique store than they paid at goodwill.

[Bobby Bones]

Paid $28 for it.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, that's not that bad. That's not that bad. If you. The one that I appraised that was. Belonged to Johnny Unitis, was worth upwards of 1500 at the time. And that was some years ago. I would say retail value on this piece is going to be about $75.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to sell it. I bought it to actually have and keep myself.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah. Because they're hard to come by.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so.

[Dr. Laurie]

And the outside of it's in very good condition. Really.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't get to play much. I don't think I was.

[Eddie]

Whoever that is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's a bench warmer.

[Dr. Laurie]

I guess so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Didn't get hit. And I got the little stand with it, too. How about that? That's pretty cool stand.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, the little. The cool stand is cool. And actually the stand.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, can you imagine?

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

If the twist happened.

[Eddie]

She's eyeing that stand like it's awesome.

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, you know what it is? It's a girl thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Dr. Laurie]

Right. Because.

[Eddie]

Is that for hats?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what do we have?

[Dr. Laurie]

Aren't you a dude over there?

[Eddie]

I know.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, it's for hats. Okay, well, they. Somebody DIY'd it. Somebody spray painted it. It's Edwardian. It dates to like 1915 on the base. And then they added this part at the top, which is.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the stand go for, you think?

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, 20 bucks. 15 bucks. Okay.

[Eddie]

She went down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Difference is I'm gonna keep mine in my house and show it off. You guys going to show your little paintings off?

[Eddie]

No, we're going to sell.

[Bobby Bones]

You going to sell?

[Amy]

I might keep my lion.

[Dr. Laurie]

I like the African lion and I like yours, too.

[Eddie]

I'm selling it.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the Japanese figures that look like the Mayflower?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I think they kind of go with, you know, lunchbox's motif, doesn't it? What about You.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what motif means, but.

[Dr. Laurie]

I think that, I think they're nice. I'm upset that one of the fingers is broken. Actually her whole hand has no fingers. But oh no, we got to decrease value a little bit for that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like bad AI.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So is it below 100 now?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dr. Laurie]

AI, lot of mistakes. A little lower? Yeah, I'd go a little lower. I'm sorry. Don't be so upset. It's only six bucks. But you gotta look and make sure that the fingers aren't broken. But the rest of it really is quite good. And you were close with, you know, Plymouth, like Pilgrims?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I like the hat.

[Bobby Bones]

100 years or so.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So I had this thought when I was at Goodwill yesterday and I saw people going around and like filling up their cart with stuff and I was like, I wonder if this is what they, they're doing. Like they're buying it there and then reselling it somewhere.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, I'll tell you what they're doing. They're doing exactly that. They're reselling it in some places. They're cross listing it on multiple platforms at once. So you don't have to keep like, I'm going to post it on this platform and that platform and this platform. They do it one place and then it just copies it to all the different platforms. The ebay's, the Etsy's, the this ones or that ones. You know, when I teach my how to sell old stuff class, people are going, how do you do that? And there's a way you can do that. Not difficult, you just have to do it right. Everything's work, we all know that. But that's basically what it is. So they're filling their carts, they're going to post it on multiple platforms. Some people just want to sell stuff for parts. That is huge at Goodwill and all of the thrift stores and antique stores. Because a lot of times there are collectors who just want to use the parts. They just like to tinker with an old watch, for example. So they need the parts from something. So that's what they're doing. They're doing quite well. And so are the thrift stores. You know, thrift stores are a multi billion dollar. Thrifting in general is a multi billion dollar business.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a good story of someone coming thinking they have something really expensive and getting the harsh reality handed to them?

[Dr. Laurie]

I actually do. So I was in Fort Wayne, Indiana and a gentleman brought me a ball canning jar. It was blue, you know that maybe 8 inches tall and had the, had the metal top and, and on the side of says ball 1858. And I said, well sir, it's very interesting. It's in good shape. It's worth $8. And from the rafters in that order in that theater. He starts yelling at me, you're wrong. You're so wrong. What are you talking about, Dr. Laura? I thought you were an expert. You're wrong. That's the first bowl canning jar ever. I said, no. They all say, he goes, it's from 1858. I said, they all say 1858. So he really thought he had the first one because of the, the date that's embossed on the glass jar. He was mad.

[Bobby Bones]

Tragic.

[Dr. Laurie]

He was mad.

[Bobby Bones]

In my guts. That'd be tragedy. Thinking I came with a hundred thousand dollar jar.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's hard. It's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight bucks.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Feels like lunchbox was Plymouth figurines. He wanted to start yelling at her. You can go to drloriv.com or again go to her channel because she teaches you how to, how to actually do this as a side hustle or as a main career.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah, people love it. Or if it's just for fun.

[Bobby Bones]

How do people start?

[Dr. Laurie]

A lot of people find me by accident and go, I didn't know any of this. A lot of people start after they've made a mistake with something else. So they find out that they sold something too low and then they go, oh, before I keep doing this, I better find out. So. And you can start with just something that you don't care about in your attic or your basement. You know, you think I'm going to resell it. I want to remind everybody that sports collectibles are going to continue to be some of the biggest collectors collectibles out there and that you should really talk very seriously with kids and grandkids and whomever about fine art furniture and jewelry because it's always going to be valuable. It's going to continue to increase in value long term as well as the sports stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I got really into vintage baseball cards, the new as well. But I feel like vintage doesn't lose value where new is very much a lottery ticket.

[Dr. Laurie]

I agree with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Because players can either not be as good or they can mess up in their personal lives which sinks value.

[Dr. Laurie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

But dead people really can't do wrong. And so I've gotten into vintage baseball cards like 50s, 60s. Thoughts on that?

[Dr. Laurie]

Well, I will say my dad was a major league baseball player for a very short time in the 40s. And this year, I had the great honor of bringing his World War II baseball balls to the hall of Fame, which they accepted. So I was like, beyond over the moon over that. And because of loving baseball always, those 1950s, 60s, 70s players have more of an aura, of course, around them. And because we didn't have all of the social media and all the connections that we have now, you will see that it was much harder to source those pieces. So if you have those pieces, the value starts much higher. So you're going to see that those pieces will continue to increase in value, because, of course, they really are one of one, one of a kind, the newer pieces. You're right. When we know everything about everybody's personal life because of this connection we have with social media, you'll see that those pieces won't retain value as well. And so many people sell them as lots. But if you have one, you have the Mickey Mantle, you know, rookie card, you have those kinds of things, you're going to probably do pretty well.

[Bobby Bones]

We really enjoyed this. Thank you for coming by. Are you off on another.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, my gosh, I'm so happy to be here. I had a great time in Nashville and it's a great city. I got to come back more often and. Yeah, I just came from Houston. I'm on my way to Atlanta and I'm touring and people can bring their stuff to my appraisal tour or they can get them on my website. And just. If you have a question, I'll answer it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, DrLoriV.com and then check out our YouTube channel at DrLoriV. Any final questions for Dr. Laurie? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Can we get your number so we can text you pictures from Goodwill?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, he's gonna. He's gonna go and shop and just send her, hey, should I buy this?

[Lunchbox]

Should I buy this? Should I buy that for you?

[Dr. Laurie]

Lunchbox? Anything.

[Lunchbox]

Can you give that to me on air?

[Bobby Bones]

He had access to that.

[Eddie]

It's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

We would never. Dr. Laurie, thank you. We really enjoyed this.

[Dr. Laurie]

Hey, nice to be with you. Thank you.

[Show Announcer]

Around October, there was a whole segment that happened for several weeks. Amy's driver's license expired, and it turned into a whole lot more than that because Lunchbox told on her to Crime Stoppers, and Amy was near moments away from getting arrested. At least we think so. It was a pretty huge moment in 2025.

[Bobby Bones]

Number six, there's one thing on the show we don't like. Criminals.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

People that cheat the system, cheat the law. And if any of us were criminals, man, we would not be happy about it, would we, Amy?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Amy]

What's happening? Am I a criminal?

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Because of my license. Are you turning me in right now?

[Eddie]

Bring them in, boys.

[Bobby Bones]

So, wait, Well, I don't know. What do you want to say?

[Amy]

I don't have anything to say. I have. My passport's good to go.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, that's.

[Amy]

Of course.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you want to go to a different country, that's great.

[Amy]

So you're talking about my license?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's expired.

[Lunchbox]

How'd you get to work?

[Amy]

I drove.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox called Crime Stoppers.

[Eddie]

Let's go. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox called Crime Stoppers on Amy.

[Eddie]

Someone's.

[Lunchbox]

No, no. Crime Stoppers always says they pay for tips. Like, you always see the commercials and everything. And I've always wanted to get a cash reward for turning into criminal, and this was my opportunity.

[Amy]

Okay, so much for getting vulnerable with y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Eddie]

Oh, we would have found out how.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's different if you're vulnerable and breaking the law. Because if you're like, I just want to get vulnerable, am I safe? Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I murdered seven people. Well, no, we can't let you get away with it.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, I would never murder.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know. This could be.

[Amy]

No, I wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

You could be warming us up.

[Amy]

I know me.

[Lunchbox]

This could be a gateway.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so here's Lunchbox calling Crime Stoppers. Go ahead. Good morning. This is with Crime Stoppers.

[Dr. Laurie]

How may I Help you?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, ma'.

[Max]

Am.

[Lunchbox]

I would like to take a bite out of crime. I have someone that committed a crime, and I want to, you know, turn them in.

[Abby]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you tell me a little more?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Her name is Amy Brown, and she has been driving without a license. Her license is expired, and she has admitted to being on the roads without her license.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I actually have evidence to, like, submit into your file. I guess you do.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a license right now?

[Amy]

No, it's expired. To come to work today. Illegal.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Lunchbox]

So there you go. You have it on record that she admitted to breaking the law, and I just want to make sure you guys bust her. She leaves work around noon, 1200 Broadway. She drives a dark SUV, license plate.

[Amy]

Okay, I got that.

[Lunchbox]

And if you just wait outside our parking garage, you can bust her. She will not have a valid driver's license, and I can get a cash reward.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm not. I'm not a police officer, so I won't be able to wait outside her office.

[Lunchbox]

So, yeah, you can just Venmo me and you can just give me my $5,000 reward.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't know if it's going.

[Amy]

To be a $5,000 reward for.

[Lunchbox]

We gotta send.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I appreciate the tip, and.

[Lunchbox]

I'll keep looking at my Venmo to see if you guys send that money over.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's not something that's going to be, like, an immediate thing. So first they have to catch the criminal.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'm checking it right now. I still don't. I haven't seen it come through, but.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Well, I just refresh and I don't see it.

[Amy]

I mean, well, like I said, it's a process.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have to wait a little.

[Abby]

While for that to be.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. It still hadn't come through.

[Amy]

Be patient.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it might be a while. It might be a couple of weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you've been talking a little bit too long. I need to get paid.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Why are you so rude to her?

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

I feel like she's sort of just going along with him because she feels like maybe some, like, you know, is.

[Bobby Bones]

That, like, a waste of special resources? Well, because it's not. If it's 91 1, it is wasting time. But is this person just, like, send it home as a volunteer job?

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because Crime stoppers is not 91 1. It specifically says they are not 91 1. Like, if it's an emergency, you call 91 1.

[Bobby Bones]

But you made it so much about yourself, that we couldn't even focus on getting the criminals off the streets?

[Lunchbox]

No, no. She said that it was going to take a few weeks, but she couldn't wait outside the building.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it weird if someone's. Now a cop is waiting on you because he told on you?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Like that might actually happen. I mean, him doing a bit could actually get you arrested.

[Abby]

Yes.

[Eddie]

I mean, it sounded like she.

[Amy]

I mean, not arrested. I wouldn't get arrested.

[Lunchbox]

I think you just get a big ticket.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And maybe towed, because you can't drive away from that.

[Amy]

If I had any previous warrants, then they could take me in. But that's not arrest.

[Lunchbox]

But they can't let you drive away if you have an expired license. You can't just continue driving and they gotta take your car.

[Amy]

I would be respectful. I would say yes.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you feel about him doing that?

[Amy]

I mean, I just think he needs to find better things to do. But, I mean, I'm not.

[Dr. Laurie]

Am I.

[Amy]

Am I surprised by it?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Are you scared you're gonna drive out today and a cop's gonna arrest you?

[Amy]

I'm trying. I honestly was figuring out if there's other ways to exit the parking garage.

[Eddie]

Smart.

[Show Announcer]

Right?

[Amy]

And there's. There's not. There's one way out.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we think there's a chance a police officer will be outside today pulling Amy over?

[Eddie]

No, not today. She said about two weeks for it to process, but Amy, if you don't get this thing figured out, they're going to come after you. It sounds like she was serious.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think she even wrote it in her computer? The Crime Stoppers?

[Eddie]

Oh, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you do? Oh, yeah, because they have to.

[Eddie]

Yeah, man. Serious stuff.

[Amy]

I think she started playing along with them because he's like, not my Venmo yet. And they don't. They probably don't pay by Venmo.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course they don't pay by Venmo.

[Dr. Laurie]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Amy]

Why?

[Eddie]

Was he, like, interrupting her and stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's what I'm saying. He took the bit, made it all about himself when it was supposed to be out getting criminals off the streets.

[Amy]

And I'm sure they have, like, a wanted list. Like, I'm not on it. Crime suckers.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard you're up to eight now. After that call. You're up.

[Eddie]

They moved you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're ranked 8 on the list. Okay, so we'll just be watching and we'll see if you get pulled over anytime soon. And if you do, let's Say you do get pulled over and you get a ticket because of that. Will you be irritated at him?

[Amy]

No, I'll deserve it.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just trying to make the road safer and a safer community for us to live in.

[Bobby Bones]

You heard it here first. Okay. We'll be waiting to see.

[Amy]

I just think that we have to take responsibility for our own actions, your honor.

[Eddie]

Bobby's not.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not your honor. I'm not the judge. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Show Announcer]

And the good news is Amy didn't end up getting arrested. She's still in the studio with us daily, so you don't have to worry about that. In June, we did a fitness test that apparently only 8% of people can do. And there were some of our show that could do this while others not so much. And some may have gotten injured during this whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Number five. So only 8% of people can do this. Next fitness test we tried the one where you sit down Indian style.

[Eddie]

Crisscross applesauce.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Amy]

Woke or cross legged.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And from sitting there, you can't use your hands and you have to just get up.

[Eddie]

That was tough.

[Lunchbox]

That was bad, man.

[Amy]

It wasn't hard at all.

[Bobby Bones]

The next one is, again, only 8% of people can do it. And here's me doing it at the house. And so you go from your knees and all you do, you have to go from your knees. No using your hands, and you just have to hop up from your knees.

[Eddie]

Oh, you did it.

[Amy]

That looks more difficult than the.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah. Only 8% of people can do it.

[Abby]

How many?

[Eddie]

Okay, that's tough.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, boy.

[Amy]

And you did it.

[Sophie Cunningham]

No problem.

[Amy]

That was first take.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Was that first time? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It was easy.

[Amy]

Or have you even practicing?

[Bobby Bones]

You can't really practice that because if you do, you. If you don't get it, you're going to tear it.

[Amy]

I guess you do those jump ups all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that's not really something. Yeah, you can't really practice.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I thought about when I saw you do it on that video. I'm like, man, how did you not rip every muscle in your legs?

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody want to give it a run?

[Amy]

I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of pants do you have on, though?

[Amy]

Jeans.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

But they're stretchy, kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, you want to go first?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Hop on down. Somebody may have to catch her.

[Eddie]

Oh, so she didn't fall back or forward? Is that. Is that kind of the risk?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I watch People online do it, and they fall all over the place. I mean, if you guys need me to show you again. Oh, I heard Pops, everything.

[Eddie]

She's already, like, groaning.

[Amy]

Hold it and do it.

[Abby]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't hold them.

[Dr. Laurie]

This.

[Amy]

I already can tell. Like, I don't think my body can do that. Like, right now.

[Bobby Bones]

From your knees?

[Amy]

I don't have the momentum.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you forfeit?

[Eddie]

No, Wait, he was straight up. He was standing, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Oh, thank God. This seemed impossible.

[Bobby Bones]

So you want to go. You're on your knees, and now. Now you all want to just go. Knees, defeat.

[Eddie]

How do you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

Knees, defeat, go, okay. And go.

[Amy]

Knees, defeat, go.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Okay.

[Amy]

You have to.

[Eddie]

I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

And.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry. I don't know. I don't know what you want from me.

[Amy]

My body has to go.

[Bobby Bones]

You want me to count you down, or are you just waiting on you? I'm waiting on my body. Okay, here she goes. She waiting on her body to tell her what to do.

[Amy]

Are your toes tucked?

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You can tuck. Here we go. She's flinching and she's waving her arms. There you go.

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on. Knees to feet. Go. Knees to feet. Nope, nope. She still hasn't done it. Nope.

[Eddie]

Come on, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

She's really.

[Eddie]

Come on, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

She can't commit to trying. She does look like she's skiing.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Freddie said just.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Come on. Oh, dude. She got nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

She didn't even get off.

[Eddie]

She got, like, an inch.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, how did you. Came off the ground, did your hands. You can give up.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to do it. Go ahead.

[Amy]

I can do it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Bones, for real. How do you do that?

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand it.

[Bobby Bones]

I can get up and try it and pan it. You want me to try to do it? Yes, please.

[Eddie]

Hold on, Amy. I think you should just throw in the towel.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think it's over.

[Amy]

Sometimes you just have muscle memory, and I need to tap into it because.

[Eddie]

Amy, that first one, you didn't even get off the ground.

[Amy]

Your knees never actually let me see. I need a visual.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay, down to the knees. And so I just went for arms here. And then.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie]

You literally jump with your knees.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, your knees are feet.

[Amy]

Okay. Thank you for showing me.

[Lunchbox]

You had a little poppage, too.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I pop and also have myself in the face of my glasses.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty impressive.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy got one leg up and one leg never hurt.

[Amy]

That is now, but look what I can do.

[Bobby Bones]

What can you. Oh, There you go.

[Amy]

And also, I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to try again or no?

[Dr. Laurie]

No.

[Amy]

Because my left. The lower lumbar.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Is now in pain.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, there she is. Amy.

[Max]

Good job.

[Eddie]

Good try.

[Bobby Bones]

I need Lunchbox. You want to give it a try?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, man.

[Eddie]

Can you even stand on your knees, Lunchbox?

[Amy]

There's no.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I can't even bend down there. I think you might can get this one, though.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he could not do the cross leg. Amy's injured. Okay. From your knees, arm, swing into your feet. Go.

[Lunchbox]

Knees to feet. Knees to feet.

[Bobby Bones]

Knees to feet. Oh, no.

[Eddie]

Are you okay, dude?

[Dr. Laurie]

Are you okay?

[Bobby Bones]

He got one leg. Your other leg didn't even move. You didn't even try.

[Dr. Laurie]

I know, I know.

[Lunchbox]

I was concentrating, and I got one leg up, and I didn't think about the other leg.

[Eddie]

Do we need an ambulance? Are you okay?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that was a hammy, dude. That was almost a hammy. I felt that heavy get tight when I did it, too.

[Eddie]

Knees to feet.

[Dr. Laurie]

Do it again.

[Bobby Bones]

Knee to feet.

[Dr. Laurie]

Do the elf.

[Bobby Bones]

Knee to feet.

[Lunchbox]

Knees the feet, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you gotta get. You gotta get pumped.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go. Come on, come on. He wiped out again.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you still trying? I'm still trying to go. Let's go. Let's go, Mr. Cheese. New stuff beat. Let's go.

[Eddie]

Let'S go.

[Amy]

It's not possible, guys.

[Eddie]

He can't do it so hard. Lunchbox. You tried, dude.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, my.

[Lunchbox]

I got knee burned.

[Eddie]

Oh, man. I gotta try this, Eddie. I gotta try it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that hurt. I think I broke a toe.

[Eddie]

Hey, Lunchbox, get off the stage.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. I'm gonna need to go to my chiropractor. I'm not joking.

[Dr. Laurie]

Everybody's falling apart.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on.

[Eddie]

Hold on, Eddie. Hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's. Let's get into assault. We'll do it, Eddie.

[Eddie]

I'll just sit here.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, I got some odds. By the way, someone made odds for this. Odds to Bobby Boncho can do this. I did it on video, so I wasn't on. But Morgan is the heavy favorite, the only one to complete it.

[Eddie]

Okay, get out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Second up was Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't work, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Which he did not get. Amy was plus 500, meaning if you bet 100 bucks, you'd win 500. While you, five to one, didn't believe in me. They didn't believe in you, but rightfully so, because you didn't do it. True or false?

[Amy]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Does that mean I'm last?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie plus 900.

[Amy]

Wow. Eddie. Does work out with you?

[Bobby Bones]

Nine to one. They think that if you bet 100 bucks, you can make 900.

[Eddie]

Guys, I'm the. I'm the true underdog. You can make a lot of money off me right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you ready? Knees to feet. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Knee to feet.

[Bobby Bones]

Knee to feet. Knee to feet.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think you're allowed to rock.

[Bobby Bones]

You can use your arms.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

No, were you. Did you get, like.

[Lunchbox]

He's doing hip.

[Eddie]

Did you do a little hip motion when you jumped?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, a little. I mean.

[Eddie]

All right. Because, I mean, I need everything you.

[Bobby Bones]

Have to have some support.

[Eddie]

Here we go. Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Knee, feet. Here goes, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Knee to feet. Knee to feet.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. He got it. That's plus 900.

[Abby]

You're rich.

[Bobby Bones]

You're rich. Wow. I made you money.

[Amy]

Plus nine. Do y' all do this sort of thing with your trainer?

[Eddie]

Never done that in my life. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, just. Morgan, you're up. Can you do it?

[Abby]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan can do it.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

Now I need to try it.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

It's almost like God lifted me up in the air. That was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Morgan. I don't know, man. Did you get a little stretch in?

[Abby]

I don't know.

[Show Announcer]

Let me do some yoga real quick.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Downward dog.

[Lunchbox]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Make sure I don't pull a hammy little cat. Cow.

[Show Announcer]

Okay, so you say like, knees to feet.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I say.

[Eddie]

It was good. It worked for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Knee to me.

[Lunchbox]

What are you doing? How do I turn this camera on?

[Bobby Bones]

You gave Lunchbox the camera to shoot video.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you can use your arms. Yep, yep.

[Amy]

So, like, that's exactly it.

[Bobby Bones]

Moment. Go. Knees to feet. I don't know if I. That was actually kind of cool. She, like, leaned into it.

[Eddie]

That was cool because it works.

[Show Announcer]

Okay, so I'm supposed to, like, jump.

[Bobby Bones]

Instead of, like, rock backwards? Yeah, just jump. Go. Oh, yeah. She got it. Good job, Morgan.

[Eddie]

So, Amy, do you want to try.

[Bobby Bones]

Me and Lunchbox couldn't do it yet.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, I know. We were the guinea pigs.

[Amy]

I'm trying one more time.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks. All from our mistakes.

[Amy]

No, I had to try one more time.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy almost walked off with her headphones still in her ears. Well, you're holding your hip. You've already hurt yourself.

[Amy]

Da ba, da.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

What did she just say?

[Eddie]

I don't know what she said.

[Bobby Bones]

Knees to feet. Here she goes. Here she goes. Knees to feet. Knees to feet.

[Dr. Laurie]

What are y' all doing?

[Bobby Bones]

She's waving her Arms.

[Eddie]

Whatever.

[Show Announcer]

Don't think.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Just do it.

[Dr. Laurie]

Don't think.

[Amy]

I overthink it. I overthink it.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like. She's spasming right now.

[Dr. Laurie]

Again.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope, nope.

[Eddie]

No, Amy. You don't even get off the ground.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy. One leg moved and one laid there in paralysis.

[Dr. Laurie]

Wait, why?

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, what?

[Sophie Cunningham]

Is that why you want to try.

[Eddie]

It again and say knee to feet?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you're scared?

[Dr. Laurie]

No, my back.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, it's because you're scared. You don't have the confidence.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

At least fall down like you're gonna commit. Fall.

[Amy]

Maybe I need a wider seat.

[Eddie]

Maybe. Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, knee to feet.

[Dr. Laurie]

Knee to feet.

[Bobby Bones]

One, two, go.

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay, she's also shaking.

[Bobby Bones]

You're shaking. You're trembling.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Here you are.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever you go back, your legs start to tremble.

[Dr. Laurie]

What is the wrong with me?

[Lunchbox]

What is the.

[Bobby Bones]

What is the wrong with me?

[Eddie]

That could be.

[Amy]

Just doesn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't work.

[Amy]

I really can't risk hurting my back any more than I already have.

[Eddie]

Okay, Lunchbox, want to try it again?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy and Lunchbox, they did not do it. That's okay. Scuba, can you do it?

[Lunchbox]

Don't count me out.

[Eddie]

I think I can.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, I'll try.

[Lunchbox]

Here, I'll hold the mic for you.

[Eddie]

Well, remember, Scuba could have been in the NBA, so.

[Bobby Bones]

But buddy. And he has huge feet.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's got trying.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Let's see.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

He dropped the mic. He dropped the mic.

[Dr. Laurie]

What in the world?

[Eddie]

Wow. That was amazing.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox today.

[Dr. Laurie]

Can't do it.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't done anything physical in like.

[Eddie]

Three years to pick up my kids.

[Bobby Bones]

Holy crap. Last shot, Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

What kind of weird skill do you guys have?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, a wise man once said, knee to feet need two feet. I think he ripped his hip out.

[Amy]

Like, what is it with our bodies?

[Lunchbox]

There's a lot wrong with my body, I'll tell you that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so no lunch, no Amy Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

That is so funny, dude.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

Ken Raven got the mun. You got the muntahl's again.

[Eddie]

He looks like he's getting tased.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby, do you want to try it or no? I don't want you to hurt yourself.

[Abby]

I can try. I'm not going to lie. I saw your TikTok last night and I tried it.

[Dr. Laurie]

I couldn't do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to give it a chance? You don't have to if you're not ready.

[Eddie]

If you're having.

[Dr. Laurie]

I can drive down here.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunch is still trying it.

[Abby]

I honestly tried, like, Five times. And I was getting really mad.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not even trying.

[Eddie]

It's like he's getting tased.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel his right when he goes up. Yeah. Somebody shoots him.

[Eddie]

He falls down.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Lunchbox]

I get to my toes, but I can't get my heels.

[Eddie]

Hey, Lunchbox, try taking your shoes off.

[Bobby Bones]

For those that are listening.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no.

[Eddie]

It looks like your shoes are getting.

[Bobby Bones]

You're trying to go.

[Lunchbox]

Is that what it is?

[Bobby Bones]

On your knee, on your knees to up on your feet. Lunchbox and Amy could not get. Everybody else could so far. Abby, you really got to fire it up. Now, remember, if you can get this over Lunchbox, you now. Hey, you're his mama. You know what I'm saying?

[Lunchbox]

No, that's not even close to true.

[Bobby Bones]

Knees to feed. Abby. Abby, hold on. You're going the wrong way with your momentum. Abby's arms go up whenever she jumps. Your arms, they need to go back, and then. Yeah. That's when you jump. Yeah. You're going the opposite way. Go. Oh, you commit. You can get it. You gave up.

[Eddie]

Come on, Abby.

[Bobby Bones]

Go, Abby.

[Max]

Get this.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby. Abby. Abby.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Abby.

[Amy]

Abby. Abby. Abby. Abby.

[Dr. Laurie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Okay.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Dr. Laurie]

One more time.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Last chance.

[Amy]

Y' all have no idea how hard it is for those of us that can't do it mentally.

[Eddie]

No.

[Amy]

Okay, well, she's closer.

[Bobby Bones]

All you athletes, good job.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, Abbey, Lunchbox. You guys take a step back. All athletes, take a step forward. There we are. Good to see you guys.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week.

Another big moment from the fall was a big Parenting moment for Lunchbox. It was him being proud as well as scared out of his mind because his kid went to a sleepover and then showed up on his front porch at a crazy hour. And Lunchbox shares the entire details of this and I'm still shocked by this story.

[Bobby Bones]

Number four, Lunchbox says this is the craziest story of his parent life. All right, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, so Friday night, my 7 year old went and slept over at someone's house for the first time ever. And he was so excited and I mean, it was great. Didn't hear anything from the other family, so it was going great until 6:40am on Saturday morning, my wife wakes me up and goes, hey, do you hear that? And it was ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. I was like, that's the doorbell. And we go downstairs and our seven year old is standing at the front door dripping sweat. And I opened the door and I said, what's up, bud? He goes, well, I woke up, it was light outside, so I thought it was time to come home. So he literally got his backpack without telling anybody at that house, walked out the door and walked 2.2 miles to my house.

[Eddie]

Oh my goodness.

[Amy]

How did he even.

[Eddie]

2 miles?

[Lunchbox]

2.2 miles.

[Eddie]

I thought it was like a neighbor like down the street.

[Bobby Bones]

How did he know how to get home? Was there a straight line?

[Lunchbox]

No. So he went from their house back to school.

[Bobby Bones]

School to our house, school to house. Right.

[Eddie]

That's kinda smart.

[Lunchbox]

And he knows how to get to their house from the school at 6am he had.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you confused For a minute?

[Lunchbox]

I was like. When I saw him and I saw no vehicle, I was like, man. So they just dropped him off and drove away. Like, that's messed up. And then he was like, yeah, I knew that it was light out and that I had a soccer game today, so I thought it was time to come home. And I was just like, bud, did you not see anybody when you were walking? And he goes, oh, I did. And they said, good morning. And I said good morning back. What? So people saw this 7 year old with a backpack at 6am Wandering the streets and they just say, good morning. I was blown away.

[Eddie]

That's a good point. Like, no one called the cops said there's a kid like walking with a backpack.

[Amy]

Okay. But you know what makes me nervous is like, yes, we should call the police. But also, sometimes when people call the police, the parents get arrested.

[Eddie]

Well, you know what? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

But here, here's the thing.

[Amy]

And lunchbox did Nothing wrong. And neither did the parents where the kid was spending the night.

[Lunchbox]

Right. They didn't do anything wrong. They were all asleep. And he just woke up. It was light outside and he just grabbed his bag and left. And it was just like. And then he said, I saw lightning. So I ran part of the way. That's why he was dripping sweat.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Who are you upset at?

[Lunchbox]

I think I'm more upset at the people that were just out walking or running or whatever they were doing. And they saw the kid and they didn't even check on them. They didn't say, hey, man, like, it looks a little weird on a Saturday morning at 6am A kid with his backpack.

[Eddie]

Hold on. But what about your son leaving to walk?

[Bobby Bones]

But also, is it a neighbor, neighbor neighborhood? If it's a super neighborhood where the streets aren't super crowded and I see a kid walking, I'm thinking he's just going from house to house. That's probably what I'm. If it's a highway, I'm like, that does not make sense.

[Amy]

Right, True.

[Lunchbox]

And then I don't know where on the 2.2 miles he saw these people. Did he see him in the neighborhood? Did he see him when he was on just a street?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you call the parents?

[Lunchbox]

We texted them immediately and they were like, we woke up five minutes ago. Because the young, I guess their youngest son woke up and was like, I don't see him anywhere. And she's like, that's not funny. And then she turned on the lights and he was gone.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine what they went through as a heart attack. At least when you found out, you knew he was all. Wasn't bad.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And she said they were looking in the. Out in the yard, in the alley. They were looking everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Balloon Boy Part 2. Yes.

[Lunchbox]

They thought maybe he sleepwalked. So they were about to call us and say, hey, does your son sleepwalk? And she was like, I just got our alarm disarmed two months ago. Oh, my gosh. Like he just walked out the front door. Walked out the front door, 2.2 miles.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it a neighbor, neighbor neighborhood?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

But then he had to go on some greenway like.

[Eddie]

Like trails.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Smart kid.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

He found his way home.

[Bobby Bones]

He Bear Grylls did all the way home.

[Eddie]

So does he get in trouble at all though?

[Lunchbox]

Like, no, I haven't had the talk with him like, hey, man, like, great job. Like, I'm super proud of you because you knew your way home. Like, that was so impressive. But bud, next Time tell an adult where you're going. I haven't had that talk because it was just like, I'm still like in shock when I open that door and he's standing there dripping sweat.

[Bobby Bones]

Like his dad. Even that. Yeah, you sweat all the time. Even when you're right. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And it was just like, man, he was like, my legs are a little tired cuz I ran most of the way.

[Bobby Bones]

It was lightning. I also run when it lightnings.

[Eddie]

Dude, that is a crazy st. That is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. I think if it's a neighborhood, you can't be mad at anybody. If anything, be happy that your kid was smart enough to get home.

[Lunchbox]

No, I am happy about that. That is cool. But I just, I can't imagine if I. You see a kid with a backpack at that early in the morning on a Saturday, you don't stop him and say, hey, man, is everything okay?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't want to be the. I don't want to be the creepy person that stops a kid.

[Amy]

I know. Well, I know, but I'm thinking back to when I first got Stevenson. When my kids first came to America. Stevenson was seven years old. And he would learn how. He learned how to ride a little bike. And we would go on little walks and he would be riding the bike. And he's Haitian, so he's black and I'm white. And I can't tell you how many times he got stopped. Like, I would be walking near him with the dog, but people would think I'm not the mom. So they would stop him straight up. And he was that age. And they'd be like, where's your mom? Are you by yourself? Like, this doesn't seem right. And we were in a neighborhood, neighborhood, like.

[Bobby Bones]

And they felt like a creepy white lady following him.

[Amy]

They thought, no, I don't think. I think they just thought I was walking my dog. And he'd be like, oh, that's my mom right there. And they'd be like, oh, okay. I guess this is one of those adoption situations. But like, they would always ask, like, I was shocked how many people were very concerned. And he was 7, 8. So I guess in my mind I'm picturing. I'm trying to picture what a seven or eight year old looks like. And it is weird when they're out by themselves.

[Bobby Bones]

I ain't stopping a kid unless there are cars driving by. If it's like a kid in a small neighborhood, I'm just thinking, he's going five houses down.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I'm not being the one that's like, white van. I don't want that pointed at me.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I love my white van. I'll never change. I'll have my white van forever. Dang it. It's the best bits of the week with Morgan. Number two.

[Show Announcer]

In July, when the world is eating so many hot dogs, Eddie was put up to the challenge. So Joey Chestnut, who is a world champion for eating, ate 70.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes. Well, it was then challenged to Eddie to see if he could eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours. And you're about to hear some of how that challenge went down. If you want to watch the entire thing, we have a whole bunch of videos on our YouTube page at Bobbybone.

[Bobby Bones]

Show number three, Eddie starts his hot dog eating in just a few minutes. Here are the three rules. Rule number one, you cannot throw up. If you throw up, it's over.

[Eddie]

Can I throw up at the very end? Like, say I hit 70?

[Bobby Bones]

You can do whatever.

[Eddie]

I went.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Okay. You can't throw up. You can butt up.

[Abby]

What?

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, I'm gonna need to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you go to the bathroom. Gotcha. Yeah. All hot dogs must be eaten on the live stream.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to stream as much as you possibly can, even if you're just sitting there. So that's number two. Number three, you have to eat at least 35 hot dogs. If not, you have to pay me 50 bucks. Yeah, I think you're gonna struggle with 35 hot dogs.

[Eddie]

Nah, 35, I think, is the one that immediately I was like, oh, I can pass that line.

[Bobby Bones]

If you win, you get the $800. Oh, my gosh. 600 from me, 100 from Amy, 100 from lunchbox. What will you do with that 800 bucks?

[Eddie]

Thought about donated to charity maybe? Yeah. Hey, you know, I thought about that for a second.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

He's donating it to charity.

[Amy]

No, no, guys. Keyword. He said, I thought about that.

[Eddie]

So we'll see. If I get there, man, it'd be cool. If I get there, you know, a lot of children will get some money.

[Bobby Bones]

What else are you thinking about doing with it?

[Eddie]

Probably putting some futures bets on the Cowboys.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you just waste your money, though?

[Eddie]

That's not waste. This is our year, and If I put $100 in our season, now the offense only 100.

[Bobby Bones]

You have 700 after that. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then I can spread it out in other bets.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you did 800 on the Cowboys and then you won, you know how much you would Win Payday. Okay, so that starts for those listening on the podcast. We will start our second part of the podcast with Eddie eating the hot dogs. That'll be the podcast. We'll sit and go through stuff while he eats the hot dogs.

[Eddie]

I mean, I could maybe hit all 70 in the first podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

First hour, because it's. It can be done. Chestnut did it in 10 minutes.

[Eddie]

Chestnut did it. But then he also told me that probably can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I was thinking about your strategy of just a little bit. And you're gonna be so grossed out by hot dogs if you're just holding a hot dog the whole time.

[Eddie]

Dude, I think I'm already grossed out by hot dogs just by cooking the first batch.

[Amy]

I feel like they smell really good.

[Bobby Bones]

They're out there now on a little table.

[Eddie]

You smell them?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they smell good. I got, like, a little cold thing happening and. Or one of my ears is all. Because I took my nose and I went. And one of my ears won't unclog.

[Amy]

I wonder what that's about.

[Eddie]

Allergies.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, right.

[Amy]

Your ears get clogged because allergies.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, like. Like you're on an airplane.

[Bobby Bones]

Not as clogged. But my sinuses are a little stuffy, and then one of my ears is a little stuffy. Is that a thing? Stuffy ears? Yes. Ear infections, but only one. Well, I don't know if it's infected.

[Eddie]

Well, that's what happens.

[Bobby Bones]

Giraffe Nap is a unique upright sleeping capsule that they're putting in offices in Japan designed to let tired workers nap without lying down. Inspired by watching exhausted commuters in Japan, the capsule supports the upper body, knees, feet, and butt to help users sleep while standing. Research shows upright napping can be beneficial without the grogginess of lying down. What if that's the thing that we just have not gotten right? That we're supposed to sleep standing up? And all of our beds are where we lie horizontal, and we need to be vertical. But it never felt as comfortable, so we never did it. And it was hard to do because you have to be standing up. Right. To stand up, you have to support yourself. This actually removes the need to support yourself. What if that, like, fixed 80% of our illnesses and we just didn't do it and didn't know or the government knew and they were doing it with their leaders. With our leaders.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, there's certain people, but they were.

[Bobby Bones]

Keeping it from us.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And so they're behind the beds.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the beds have been around for A long time. Because that's the only way you could fall asleep. You could. That's the only way you could relax was to let your body down. But if there was a way to relax while standing up, you had enough support up through your body. What a secret they've been holding for us. I'm getting angry at something that doesn't exist right now. Research shows upright napping is better for the body in a lot of ways. And this Spacia. Futuristic Spacia and the nature inspired forest. It takes up minimal floor space. I don't know, I'm just reading words. But this would be cool to have 400 bucks a month to lease. And they're putting it in a bunch of offices in Japan. That's from Japan. Today, Giraffe nap takes about. That's a funny name, too, now that I think about it. Giraffe nap. Because you're standing up tall.

[Amy]

Do they sleep standing up?

[Bobby Bones]

Giraffe? They do. I think so.

[Amy]

Okay. I guess I just didn't know why they call it this. Because, like, I saw this.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good question. There is an elephant that sleeps standing up. It's either giraffe or an elephant.

[Amy]

Well, but I saw a video drone video, and I don't. It looked like AI. So don't quote me. They were elephants sleeping, and they were all on their sides, and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. Like, it was so heartwarming. But then I was like, is this even real?

[Bobby Bones]

You can't say, don't quote me and then say it may be AI. That's not a quote. That's just you falling for I'm saying misinformation.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

How do you want me to say. I say it, that's how.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't know if this is real or not.

[Amy]

Yeah. So don't. So if you don't go tell anybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Giraffes can and often do sleep while standing up.

[Eddie]

I don't think I've ever seen a horse lay down.

[Amy]

Yeah, either.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't lay on their side. I've seen cows on their stomach and.

[Eddie]

With, like, their hooves out.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't that how a horse lays down? Honestly, I can't think.

[Amy]

I see them, like, bend their knees and then beep, beep, beep, lower to.

[Bobby Bones]

The ground, like, on their side. Horses sleep both standing up and laying down.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at a horse in a stall and they're laying. Like, if you were laying on your belly like this.

[Show Announcer]

Yes.

[Amy]

Like, imagine your arm, your feet, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Buckling okay, what this room makes me think about in Righteous Gemstones. And the final season, he develops a praying pod and he puts it in malls all over. And it turns out people were just going there to whack off.

[Amy]

And that's why they take off.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why they had to take them all out.

[Abby]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

Because he was like, we're doing pray in pods. And we thought it was going to be a great idea. And people would go and take a few minutes at the mall and they had to pull them all out because people were just going there whacking off.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

This is so funny.

[Amy]

My. You know, I had my. I was watching.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you guys know that?

[Eddie]

You see that? I haven't seen that.

[Dr. Laurie]

No.

[Amy]

But I. I do want to start to watch that show again because you're reminding me of it. But, like, you know, my Amazon just started playing shows after I finished the. Another show, and it was about the Duggars. Have y' all seen the Shiny Happy People, I think is what it's called.

[Eddie]

Oh, I've seen that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't watch anything to do with the duggers.

[Amy]

Well, it just started playing. No, it's a sort of like a peek behind the curtain. It's not a show that is part of, like, TLC or anything. It's a documentary. And one of the daughters is being interviewed with her husband. And as an adult, she never got paid, ever, because the contract was with the dad. And the dad kept all of the money. His adult children that were working their butts off being filmed never got paid.

[Bobby Bones]

Was he a duggar?

[Amy]

The dad? The daughter was the duggar daughter. And the dad is a duggar.

[Bobby Bones]

Was a duggar.

[Amy]

Yeah. The dad.

[Abby]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

And probably she never challenged it because it was her dad.

[Amy]

You don't. Because in their religion. Correct. You don't challenge the leader of the house or the head of the house.

[Bobby Bones]

Seems like the dad needed one of those pods now to kind of take some steam off.

[Amy]

Oh, no. He had 19 kids.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah, that's true. Well, that's what he was podding.

[Amy]

They're busy.

[Bobby Bones]

That was his pod. Okay, Eddie, you know the rules.

[Eddie]

I'm ready.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll get to it in a little bit. Thank you, guys. It is now time for Eddie's hot dog eating challenge. 70 hot dogs in 24 hours.

[Eddie]

Go, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

We have the screen flip to a bunch of hot dogs. And ketchup on a hot dog. Looks disgusting.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well. Oh, you. That's not how you eat it.

[Bobby Bones]

Ketchup on a Hot dog looks disgusting.

[Amy]

The mustard looks disgusting.

[Bobby Bones]

See, I'm a very much pro. Mustard. If you're voting for me, what else.

[Eddie]

On your dog you do? Relish and all that stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

I really only need mustard. That's all I can do. A little relish. That's fine. Sometimes I'm in the relish mood. Mostly I'm not. And then chili's fine.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's too much.

[Lunchbox]

Chili is good.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate onions. I can just go straight ahead with a hot dog and mustard. That's it. How are you gonna have yours today?

[Eddie]

Just plain. Dude, I'm not adding any more calories than I need to. Like, even if ketchup is 2 calories, I'm not doing it.

[Bobby Bones]

What we'll do now is. Let's set up the table. Scuba. If you guys want to come in, I'll just keep rolling.

[Eddie]

We got a problem, though.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the problem?

[Eddie]

We got a problem.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the problem?

[Eddie]

So Scuba got me the hot dog wieners.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you call them hot dog wieners?

[Eddie]

That's what they are, right? They're wieners.

[Bobby Bones]

Hot dogs.

[Eddie]

The hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. Not the buns. The buns are separate. He got the buns, too, but he gave me the wieners, and I. I looked at it, and he got me jumbo wieners. Jumbo hot dogs. Like, this is not what we agreed to. It says the word.

[Bobby Bones]

Shouldn't you have gotten your own, then?

[Eddie]

Jumbo on them.

[Bobby Bones]

Those are pretty thick.

[Dr. Laurie]

Look at that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba, why would you buy the jumbos?

[Eddie]

That's what hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all.

[Eddie]

They are.

[Lunchbox]

Like that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there are no chance. What I would do is. I would. They are shorter, but look.

[Eddie]

Here, read this.

[Bobby Bones]

What I would do is, I would have, like, one or two of these and, like, ask Abby nicely to go and get you some regular hot dogs from, like, the gas station.

[Eddie]

We already bought all these, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I. I would be upset. These are fat.

[Eddie]

They're fat hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

If you eat three of these, that's probably four real hot dogs.

[Amy]

Bobby, can you read me the ounces on the. Please? I'm gonna do some quick math.

[Eddie]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

The ounces fat or give it.

[Amy]

I can read it quickly.

[Eddie]

Lots of ounces.

[Bobby Bones]

You might have to hand this to Amy. Yeah, Because I don't know where to read nutrition information on hot dogs.

[Show Announcer]

I got it.

[Amy]

Okay, so we're looking at serving size one, lean, 15 ounces. And there's eight.

[Eddie]

I know for sure there are skinnier hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the normal sized hot dog right there. That's not the normal one.

[Eddie]

That's normal then.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know why you're being aggressive. This is just not the normal size hot dog. Amy, what do you see?

[Eddie]

What to buy them because I'm upset and whatever.

[Amy]

Okay, I'm. I'm. Let me. Nobody get their.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I know what you're.

[Amy]

Hot dogs in a link in a casing.

[Lunchbox]

I see what you did there.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Don't get your ground up pork in a link.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

These could be considered average. Just give me a sec.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate it when a girl tells me my wieners average.

[Eddie]

Yes, dude, that's the last thing.

[Amy]

This is Ostermeyer beef franks, but they do clearly say jumbo on them.

[Eddie]

I. I will say, though I did request beef, you know, just to be safe, and he got the beef, so that's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, maybe they're only jumbo because they are beef.

[Eddie]

You can't do regular beefs.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I mean, again, this sounds like something. If I were doing the challenge, I would take care of it myself. I wouldn't have relied on somebody else to bring the material. So it's on you as much as it is him.

[Eddie]

Okay, so what?

[Morgan]

You're.

[Eddie]

Okay, how about we do this? I'll start. I'll start with the jumbos. Like, my whole strategy isn't. Anyway, is three an hour, right? That's the big number. That's kind of the goal. If I do more than three an hour.

[Bobby Bones]

Awesome.

[Eddie]

I can take three of the jumbos. Take one for the team, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you should take one for the team because you can't use it against you not getting your goal. Amy, what are you seeing over there?

[Amy]

I found wieners. Classic. So not jumbo. Okay, these are fine.

[Bobby Bones]

They're fine.

[Eddie]

What's the ounce on those? Yeah, big difference.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Amy]

We're not okay. We're not. Okay, guys. Sorry. The number count got me. There's eight count in here at 15 ounces. A classic wiener package is a 10 count. So two more of these and it's coming in at 16 ounces.

[Eddie]

Oh, huge difference.

[Amy]

Well, is it? Bobby, do the math.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know what you just said.

[Amy]

Okay, this is.

[Bobby Bones]

My point is you guys should have figured this out before we even started this. Both of you. I know. No, it's equally on you.

[Eddie]

Why don't we do this then?

[Dr. Laurie]

Okay.

[Amy]

Let me get my calculator.

[Eddie]

Why don't we negotiate?

[Dr. Laurie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

No negotiation. This is straightforward. You gotta eat the number of hot dogs.

[Amy]

Okay. Each dog in a jumbo is 1.875. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Ounces and a regular, they're 1.6.

[Amy]

And then. Yeah. Yep, that's right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so.

[Eddie]

So we're talking about one point.

[Bobby Bones]

What you're gonna have to do is eat these until we get new ones. Okay?

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I'm cool with that. Which means we're gonna have to have Abby go to the gas station across the street. I'm sure they have hot dogs over there.

[Eddie]

Gas station wieners.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you guys should have organized this. It's on both of you.

[Eddie]

Those are even bigger over there, by the way. Eddie, you are always complaining about something. Whenever we do any sort of bit, any sort of challenge, any sort of anything. It's gotta be Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

That is fair.

[Eddie]

It's trying to eat 70 hot dogs. You can't talk to me and be like I'm being unfair.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you both messed up. You both messed up. These are jumbo.

[Eddie]

Those are the smallest ones they had at Publix. And they were buy one, get one free.

[Amy]

Okay, we got the deal.

[Dr. Laurie]

It's.

[Amy]

Guys, we're gonna do one more quick equation here.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, what do you see? I'm looking at the size and calories. It looks like a regular hot dog is 120 calories. One of these is 140 calories, right?

[Amy]

No, one of these is 170.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness. That was 170.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, 170. Yeah. It is more. It's significantly more.

[Amy]

Okay, so in 0.275 is the difference per dog, but times 70, so that you're talking 19.25 extra ounces.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Eddie, you have to eat these until they bring the other ones back. Okay, but this is on you as much as Scuba. You both messed up. And now our segment's slow and we're live.

[Eddie]

No, I'm gonna eat. I'm gonna eat, but I'm gonna start eating.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you start eating.

[Lunchbox]

Here you go.

[Amy]

We could.

[Bobby Bones]

So, also, Abby, can you please go get some hot dogs?

[Eddie]

Homeboy's had these for two days. You could have realized that. Homeboy didn't look at them till yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, and again, that's on Eddie, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's 100 on Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not. Because you bought them.

[Eddie]

He made me go get them, so I had to go get them. I found the best. I mailed you. And I found the smallest.

[Bobby Bones]

It's on both of you.

[Eddie]

I'm taking zero blame.

[Amy]

What if I just hear my Challenge.

[Eddie]

To shut up and do it.

[Amy]

Okay, what if I just, like, cut.

[Dr. Laurie]

The tip on my challenge each dog?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to manipulate any dog. I want to cut any tips off anything. Oh, that'd be cool, because when I get circumcised. Any hot dogs here?

[Amy]

Oh, dang. You beat me. That's better.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're going to have to eat a few.

[Eddie]

Yeah, so let's shave it off the number then.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. We're not shaving anything off. We're not cutting tips off. We're not shaving off the numbers. You both messed up. Scuba shouldn't have got jumbo. You should have looked at the package, and they're not been jumbo Jumbo on it.

[Amy]

But we talked about this on the show the other day. Make sure to get like you get, like the smallest normal dog.

[Bobby Bones]

They could have been pencil thin.

[Eddie]

You wouldn't hit 70 no matter what.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, not the point.

[Dr. Laurie]

Wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Abby, can you please go?

[Eddie]

All right, well, I'm ready, dude. I'm ready to eat some dogs.

[Lunchbox]

There are grocery store right below us. They should sell hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

They should, but it is a whole.

[Eddie]

Foods and no deals. No buy one, get one free.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even a deal. It's like, are they tofu? Are they not big? Right? If you go to. You want good, normal hot dogs, you have to go to a good, normal place.

[Lunchbox]

Well, there's a Publix two blocks, Abby, you can go to.

[Amy]

Yeah, there is.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you need to take pictures and send them, please, to approve it. Yes.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Here.

[Lunchbox]

Now, they're not gonna be grilled, Eddie. Are you gonna be mad about that?

[Eddie]

I'll eat. I'll eat whatever I have here that I already grilled, and then the rest will do later.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Here you go. Catch these.

[Eddie]

Come on. Oh, God.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. All right, get to eating. But you only have to eat three. I would eat like, three five now.

[Eddie]

No, I mean, maybe I might hit five. I just. I'm just saying three an hour is kind of my. My scope.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, and who's gonna run your cameras?

[Eddie]

Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie's walking up to the table. Eddie, another one. Six down, baby. We heard the magical tune, and you are only 40 minutes in.

[Eddie]

That's a lot. It's a lot of dogs. More than I thought I would do in the first hour.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you feel?

[Eddie]

I feel fine. I feel good. I just. I feel it. My stomach getting a little fuller, and it's not.

[Amy]

Oh, we should have measured it.

[Eddie]

Oh, gosh. I should do a before and after picture.

[Bobby Bones]

You gonna take a break or no? Keep going.

[Eddie]

I think I'm gonna take a little break, wait for those other dogs to come in.

[Bobby Bones]

How you gonna cook them, though? You eat them cold?

[Eddie]

I might just throw in the microwave.

[Bobby Bones]

You can definitely microwave a hot dog. That's what we did all. Every time growing up, we do that. One of the most common ways couples meet is also the least satisfying and leads to marital troubles. This is a study. What do you think the most common way the couples meet is, Amy?

[Amy]

And it's not satisfying, and it leads to trouble. Social media dating apps. Okay, apps.

[Bobby Bones]

Tinder, Hinge, Bumble. They've amassed hundreds of millions of users. They're becoming very popular, and dating apps are arguably the best way for first dates. And it also turns out that a lot of people who date on these apps and get into relationships get back on the apps before they're not out of the relationship.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Which makes sense.

[Amy]

Well, I also know success stories from them too, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but because there are so many people.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

They're gonna be. Oh, what are you doing over there?

[Eddie]

I'm just writing my name in case.

[Amy]

Someone confused that drunk off of a hot dog.

[Eddie]

If I'm taking all this stuff home, I'm gonna make sure my kids know what everything is. That way they don't grab stuff. Challenge. Yep. All right. You know we're having hot dogs tonight, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you? Oh, yeah. You said your family was gonna, like, in solidarity. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Was that. We have friends in town too, so, like, there's, like, probably 10 kids that are.

[Bobby Bones]

You have friends in town and you're doing this?

[Dr. Laurie]

Dude.

[Eddie]

The crazy thing is, the last time these friends came into town to visit us, I had my hair transplant. My.

[Bobby Bones]

My hair system. Your whole life is just.

[Eddie]

Yesterday. They're like, you're eating. Eating 70 hot dogs. Your job is crazy.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Every weekend, Eddie has something to do.

[Eddie]

They thought that was funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you're done eating hot dogs for now.

[Eddie]

I think I'll take a little break. Yeah, the stomach's getting full.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, I'm gonna save this.

[Amy]

I'm kind of hungry.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we've shut the pod. Let me. Don't shut it off yet. Have you shut it off already?

[Dr. Laurie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let's say bye on the podcast. Thank you, everybody, for listening, Eddie. Good luck. Bone for those that missed it. Eddie only ate 20 hot dogs out of 70. Massive failure. Vomited on the live stream. I was watching him. He was at home walking. You could tell he was suffering and was like, I don't know. And then away it went.

[Amy]

Yeah. Don't you think it's better, though, that he threw up instead of just giving up?

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like a little bit throwing up is giving up. Like, you let your body control it. Like, you had a conversation with your body, and you're like, you know what? I give you permission to throw up.

[Eddie]

I had a conversation my body, and I told my body to get ready for all these hot dogs, and it wasn't ready.

[Bobby Bones]

No. You said you ate terrible food to send it down as a message that more terrible food is coming. That may have been the worst strategy I've ever heard. We offered Eddie $800 if he could eat 70 hot dogs in 24 hours. And he ate 20. We went strong. We streamed for, like, three hours up here from the show after we finished, and we did all kinds of, like, cup challenges, and we had more people watching the stream than we've ever had watching the stream. So thank you to everybody. We gained, like, 2,000 followers on YouTube. So all that was great. The one thing that wasn't great was really your performance.

[Eddie]

The reason we were streaming.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your thoughts, Go ahead.

[Eddie]

My thoughts are. I. My. My mind was ready to win this thing. Like, I was willing. I was determined to win this thing. The problem that I ran into was that my body was not getting rid of these hot dogs. So when I got to about 15, I was like, nothing's moving in my body, so how am I gonna fit more hot dogs? And I just. The clock just kept on ticking.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, did it move faster than you thought?

[Eddie]

Yes, much faster. Because I started thinking, okay, now I'm at the point where I need to hit three an hour. I couldn't even get one when I could. When I was struggling to get one down, I knew I was in trouble.

[Bobby Bones]

I text Eddie and I said, hey, how's it going? Because we had left. We left here 12:30 or. Yeah, around the 12:30 or 1. And we were going to eat lunch, but Eddie had been eating lunch since about 9 that morning. And I text him, said, how you feeling? And he said, I have hot dogs in my throat.

[Abby]

That's disgusting.

[Bobby Bones]

And not from the swallow down. I think from the build Back up.

[Eddie]

Coming back up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So then he vomited.

[Eddie]

That was it, man. Like, I was working on my 21st, and I was close to getting my 21st, and my body just said, nope, no more hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

The 21st hot dog is like, your 23rd birthday means nothing.

[Eddie]

Correct. But no, I really was about 90% done with that hot dog, that last bite when it all came out. But you know what, though?

[Bobby Bones]

I would do like a little clap, but I don't feel like it's clap worthy. You thought you could do it. You said you could do it. You didn't do it. Saved us money. Made me money. He owes me 50 bucks. I do.

[Lunchbox]

That's amazing.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If he didn't do 35, he had to pay me.

[Amy]

For me, saved money is made money.

[Abby]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Money is made money.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I feel like a letdown. I'm really sorry, guys.

[Lunchbox]

Did you feel bad all weekend?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I really didn't eat till like Saturday late morning. I kind of had like a bowl of fruit, but that was it for the whole day. And then I had a little dinner at night. But man, I'm still not back to where I can eat a full meal.

[Bobby Bones]

But even now, no, I don't even.

[Eddie]

Want a full meal.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you like hot dogs now? No at all. Like, will that always be like tainted?

[Eddie]

Let me tell you, more than the room in my body, the smell of making a hot dog was making me gag on Friday. I never thought I would get to that point.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, big, big loss.

[Eddie]

Big loss.

[Bobby Bones]

Big L, big L. Free 50 bucks for me and we'll move on to figure out what the next challenge is.

[Morgan]

It's the best bits of the week.

[Show Announcer]

This is a newer development. Just happened at the beginning of December. Our phone screener, Abby, had some huge relationship to share with all of us and she kept it until that very moment. So it was very exciting for everyone to hear.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two. All right, drumroll me. Please. Have a big personal announcement.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Amy]

Making sure my headphones are on.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw you doing something over there.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, they. Sometimes the. The sound goes out, but I want to be able to hear this.

[Eddie]

You don't want to miss this.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh boy.

[Bobby Bones]

So, uh. Oh, the announcement is.

[Dr. Laurie]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not me that has the announcement.

[Lunchbox]

Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.

[Eddie]

What?

[Dr. Laurie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Let's watch. The announcement is Abby, what do you want to say?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, My gosh.

[Dr. Laurie]

Abby.

[Abby]

Okay, I'm engaged.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby.

[Dr. Laurie]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

My gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at that.

[Abby]

A ring.

[Dr. Laurie]

I have a diamond.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us everything. Tell us everything. How do you do it?

[Dr. Laurie]

Congratulations. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

So let's go. What? She's obviously kept us private and secret until now.

[Max]

So tell us.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell us. I don't know anything. So tell me everything.

[Abby]

Oh, man. Okay, so it was Saturday that it happened, and he was acting, like, pretty normal, but he was doing, like, subtle things throughout the day that. Now that I look back, well, for one thing, he asked kind of about my nails. Like, I took my nail polish off, and he's just like, so, what color are you gonna do? I'm like, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You weren't onto them when he asked about your nails?

[Abby]

No, not at all. But they looked bad, so I'm glad I did do them.

[Bobby Bones]

Does he ever ask about your nails ever?

[Abby]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And that didn't put you onto it at all?

[Abby]

No, just because I took it off, and then I was like, good thing I took my nails off. See, they look better. I just need to paint them. And then that's when he was like, oh, what color? So, and then he was playing, like, a playlist that he has songs that, like, make remind me of him. Of me that he was playing, like, in the car. And I was like, oh, okay, interesting. But then he was like, okay, get ready for dinner. Like an early dinner at, like, 4:30. And I'm like, that's so early.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Abby]

Anyway, come to find out, he wanted me to be able to see the ring, you know, like, because it gets outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he was like, do you want to take a guess where we're going? And I actually guessed where we were going because it was our first date spot. But I don't know why I thought of that. So anyway, we're walking and we're.

[Bobby Bones]

Where was your first date spot? Like, on a hill or something? Or a restaurant?

[Abby]

No, it's a restaurant.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Abby]

Yeah, in 12 South. And so I remember, like, the first time I saw him on our date, like, because we met on a nap. And so the first time I saw him, he was standing by a trash can. And so I always remember this, like, moment when I walked by. I'm like, oh, I remember meeting you for the first time. And I guess I brought that up a lot. And so we get to that spot, and he, like, pulls me off to the side, and I'm like, oh, this is weird. And he, like, gives me a hug, and then he starts Saying all this. And then I just, like. It was a blur after that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, basically, like, knew as soon as you realize what was happening, but I'm.

[Abby]

Like, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just started going, like, blacking out. And then he was like, so Abby. And then he, like, got down on one knee and he's like, will you marry me?

[Dr. Laurie]

And I'm like, oh, my gosh.

[Abby]

And I, like, freak out. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to do with my hands. And then there was a couple, like, walking by, and they're like, you want your picture? So they took our picture. And he didn't put the ring on yet. Like, we're standing there and he has the ring in the box, and I'm just, like, standing there. I didn't know what to do. And then he's like, abby, you gotta let me put the ring on.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's awesome.

[Abby]

That was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

If you try to think back, do you know what he said?

[Abby]

It was kinda like, you know, the past two years, we've made some amazing memories. And I know this spot right here is a special spot for you.

[Bobby Bones]

When did it hit you this is happening?

[Abby]

Basic when he was like. And I want this spot to become even more special. And I was like, oh, oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Pretty good.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Abby]

And then when he went. So Abby. And then I. Yeah. I'm like, oh, man, this is real.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome.

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Eddie]

Did you say yes right away, Abby?

[Abby]

I did.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, immediately fell down and started flopping.

[Dr. Laurie]

Before she knew what was going on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

So. So.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you got? Do you still go to dinner?

[Abby]

Yeah, we did.

[Eddie]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you got to make calls and texts and facetimes and stuff.

[Abby]

Yeah, we didn't. We just went right into dinner and then we went up to the. He made a reservation, but he was like, do you guys have more of, like, a special spot? Because we just got engaged. They're like, oh, that's awesome. So they put us, like, out by the fire. It was kind of out on the outdoor patio, and no one was out there the whole time. And then they brought champagne.

[Bobby Bones]

They did?

[Abby]

Yeah, like a glass of champagne.

[Bobby Bones]

Did your parents know it was going to happen?

[Abby]

He asked them like, two months ago or a month ago. So, no, they didn't know when it was going to happen. But he did ask them.

[Bobby Bones]

He played it right. Like, ask forever ago. Because then everybody kind of forgets.

[Eddie]

And then.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know when he asked them?

[Abby]

No, I didn't at all.

[Bobby Bones]

So do you Call them while you're sitting at dinner. Like, are you just furiously, like. Like, calling all your friends?

[Abby]

I waited till I got home. I was like, let's just.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know how you waited.

[Abby]

I know. I don't either. Well, I was so. I couldn't believe it. I still, like, can't I look down? I'm like, wow, that's so cool. Yeah. I got home, and I FaceTimed my mom, and it was so funny because her jaw was, like, on the floor for five. She just didn't. She was like, oh, I like your shirt. It's, like, shiny or whatever. And I'm, like, holding it, and I'm, like, closer to the camera.

[Dr. Laurie]

She's like, oh, my gosh.

[Abby]

So that was cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you so excited?

[Abby]

It was fun. Yeah, I'm really excited.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys have an idea of when you want to get married?

[Abby]

Not really.

[Dr. Laurie]

No.

[Abby]

There's no.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no rush. That's just the question you ask.

[Abby]

Yeah. Probably like, end of next year or 2027.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no rush.

[Abby]

But, yeah, we haven't. But, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Congratulations. That's really cool.

[Show Announcer]

Yeah, I know.

[Amy]

I'm super happy for Abby.

[Dr. Laurie]

I never thought.

[Abby]

So cute.

[Amy]

Like, typical Abby that she's like.

[Abby]

And then I blacked out. Yeah. It's like, easy trivia all over again right there in that moment.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. No. This has been something I think you've wanted for a long time. Like, you didn't know for sure it was gonna be this guy, but you finally found him.

[Abby]

Yeah. He's like, how do you feel? I'm like, well, it's surreal because I actually didn't think this would ever happen in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you keep looking down at your hand over and over again?

[Abby]

Yes. I love it.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Abby]

I can't stop. It's shiny.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Abby]

It's like, my only diamond.

[Bobby Bones]

Now she can put a picture up. Cause you've been hiding it from us to deliver it now. Yeah, now she can put a picture up. Congratulations, Abby. We're super happy for you.

[Abby]

Thank you.

[Amy]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

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

[Show Announcer]

Number two, another huge personal update in 2025, Bobby and his wife Caitlin had something to share in September.

[Bobby Bones]

Number one, I'm so happy for you.

[Dr. Laurie]

I literally just left a voicemail that. It makes me so happy. Whenever people I love want to have a baby and then they get pregnant.

[Bobby Bones]

And now you're having a baby. Oh, my gosh.

[Dr. Laurie]

Congratulations. I don't even want to leave my name because I sound crazy, but it's Haley from Missouri.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. Thank you, Hayley. Great call. Yes. So we finally got to announce yesterday that my wife is having a baby. I'm not going to be Mr. We're Pregnant Guy. We're going to have a baby. It's going to be our baby. But she's the one that's pregnant with it because she's the one that's been sick.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, we're having a baby, and it's crazy. And it's been the secret that's been the hardest to keep because it's been a long secret, and it's different than a normal secret. Like, I got secrets so deep in me that I'm never gonna share from people. But this is a weird one, because you know you're gonna share it at some point. It's like when you gotta use the bathroom really bad. And the closer you get to the house, the more it starts hitting you.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, as we were getting closer to being able to tell, I'm like, oh, I gotta tell somebody. So, yeah, we're having a baby, and she's having the baby.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But we're gonna have a baby. It's awesome.

[Amy]

I think it's okay for you to say we're having a baby.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I just have seen her go through it.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I feel guilt with going. Because I ain't doing crap.

[Amy]

Yeah. I think as long as you don't say we're pregnant, you're not.

[Bobby Bones]

I can say we're having a baby.

[Amy]

Yes, because it's. That helps, you know? Not that anybody would think you're not the dad, but you are having a baby.

[Eddie]

Dude, when you say. If you say we're pregnant.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Amy got me a book that was like, we're pregnant. Did you know that's what the book was called?

[Amy]

Oh, well, that was more so for you to know the stages of the pregnancy.

[Bobby Bones]

So much about pregnancy and stages. Oh, I bet. Yeah, it's been wild.

[Amy]

So, yeah, sorry. I should have crossed that out and been like, caitlin's pregnant, and here's what you need to learn.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's wild. You know, it'd be our first kid, and we're very excited about it. But it has been a bit because she's been very sick. Like, here's the thing. They might call it morning sickness, but they forgot to say sometimes you're sick for 24 hours a day for two months total, and you can't get out of Bed.

[Amy]

Yeah. I've often wondered why it's called morning sickness. Are you mourning your life?

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, are you just like mourning getting pregnant?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because it's so painful.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a good point. We had so many great messages and you guys can call us as well if you want. 8777 Bobby, congratulations to you and your wife.

[Eddie]

That's so awesome to hear. I've been a father for about three years now.

[Bobby Bones]

It's quite the journey. It's. It's amazing. Genuinely, I want to say congratulations to.

[Eddie]

You and the Mrs. And good luck with the Bobby. It's the best thing you're ever going.

[Bobby Bones]

To do with your life.

[Amy]

Take care.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you very much. We posted on Instagram yesterday, about 3 o', clock, we really didn't have a time or a set plan and my wife came down and was doing an interview with Clint Black. She came down and hung out a little bit and she was like, let's just go ahead and post it. I think for her it was good just to get it out there.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you know, we're in it now. I'm not gonna say exactly where we are on the stage and not gonna reveal the gender or anything, so make it easier for me and don't ask. But I think she was just ready for it to be said. She was getting a lot of weird DMs. So was I. Like, your wife hasn't been on your social media. Are you guys getting divorced? Oh, gosh. And like that, however that started. No, she just. We went on vacation and we took her family on vacation. Her mom and her dad and her sister and her brother in law. And she wasn't in any of the pictures. And so people were like, you didn't have your wife in any of your pictures. Are you guys going through a divorce? And I'm like, do you think if I were going through a divorce, we would take our family on vacation?

[Amy]

Good point.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah, we're gonna do it. Well, I mean, we did it, but now we're gonna do it. We're gonna have a baby. I had a few other ideas for that caption on the pictures that we posted yesterday and we ended up just putting like a baby emoji and a heart. And my wife and I, we collabed. But I had some ideas. Number one was we both were gonna hold our shirts up and be like, one of us has got a baby in us.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's funny.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's good.

[Amy]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

Number two was gonna be like, she let me do this to Her.

[Amy]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

Getting in the bag. Too much, dude. Too much.

[Lunchbox]

What's wrong with that?

[Amy]

We don't need that.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Amy]

That's weird. Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Funny, though.

[Eddie]

Funny.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't like that one. What's next?

[Abby]

Were those the two?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I had a few more, but if you don't like that one. And she was like, we could do whatever you want, but. But I'd prefer not to make it, you know, a comedy act. And so we settled on the baby head and the heart.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I just remember when I texted you about it because Caitlin had told me, and then I texted you, like, oh, my gosh, congratulations. And then you were like, what? Like, you reply back your little comedy sketch. He goes, what? Caitlin's pregnant?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. Another comment was, she didn't like this one. I think it's mine.

[Eddie]

That's a good one.

[Lunchbox]

That's funny.

[Eddie]

That's always a good one, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's an old trusty. That's an old trusty one there.

[Amy]

It's always a bit.

[Bobby Bones]

It is a bit.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It isn't. I'm telling you, it ain't a bit. I got a lot of great calls and texts, and I'm not a person when there's really good or bad news that calls anybody, I'll text. But I really admire people who call because. And I didn't want to really answer them because I feel awkward. Like, I feel like they don't even want to talk. They just feel like they have to call. But I got a call from couple people yesterday, and they were like, just want to say I saw it and I gasped and I don't know, I just called you. And then I feel like they're on the phone way too long with me. Like, they don't really want to be on the phone with me, so I'm, like, trying to get off the call the whole time. I'm like, thank you. I'll tell her. And, you know, if. All right. It's just I'm bad on the phone. Got the future baby, got an offer, a scholarship at Purdue yesterday.

[Abby]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Already?

[Lunchbox]

Already?

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm friends with Coach Odom, the football coach there, and he was like, hey, whatever it is, boy or girl, scholarship offer to Purdue right now.

[Eddie]

Done.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And call me and let me know that. So.

[Amy]

I mean, Caitlin's so athletic. I bet.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Abby]

You too.

[Lunchbox]

You do. But, like, what are you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

No, she's way more athletic than I am.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yes.

[Amy]

I feel like you didn't let me finish between the two of you. Your baby, she'll be normal, is gonna have skills.

[Bobby Bones]

It'll come out about even.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If it gets My wife's athleticism, it's on because she. Her whole family, they are. They're just gifted, just superb athletes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So that's what's up.

[Eddie]

How you feeling?

[Bobby Bones]

It's been. We've been in this for months at this point. It feels good to just finally reveal it.

[Amy]

I think the way you put it of, like, when you have to go to the bathroom, and the closer you get, like, the worse. You just have to go. Like you just want to get it out. It's got to feel so freeing that.

[Bobby Bones]

The other analogy is running on a treadmill. Like, the closer you get to that whatever mile mark, you're like, I can't do this much. Like, you really start to go, I don't know if I can do this much longer as you get closer to it. But, yeah, it feels. Feels great to say it. And, you know, my initial pitch was to not even announce there was a pregnancy, just to have the baby exist.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa, that'd be crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It would just start showing up in pictures. And my wife was like, I don't think so. I have to hide for, like, nine months. And I'm like, yeah, but what a bit, huh?

[Amy]

Then there would be all these things of, like, who's the surrogate? Or where'd y' all get that baby?

[Eddie]

Major rumors.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but we would have pictures to post. Where'd you get the baby? That's a funny one.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, that's what I mean. This baby just appears.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's the bit. That's why it's awesome. Just an appearing baby. So, yeah, it's. It's awesome. I don't even know. I really have no idea.

[Amy]

Are you scared?

[Bobby Bones]

Not yet.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She'd been so sick. She was so sick for so long that it's mostly just, like, no time to think about anything else except try to get her better.

[Amy]

I don't know that scared maybe is the right word, but just like.

[Eddie]

No, it's the right word.

[Dr. Laurie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Nervous.

[Eddie]

I remember being terrified. Nervous.

[Amy]

Scared. Yeah. You'll probably. As you get closer, I'm sure there.

[Bobby Bones]

Will be anxiety that comes in, but I think the most anxious that I've been was, like, pre all of this. I just. I don't know. I was always scared, and I don't know. I think part of me was like, I'm never gonna have a kid or I may not have a kid, and I'm okay with that, because I didn't want to have a kid and be poor because I grew up as a poor kid with no resources. And so we don't have to worry about that. You know, that's a selfish thing. And there's gonna be other hard things, but to me, that was always the fact, like, I don't want to have to raise a kid like I grew up, and so we don't have to. And again, if it weren't for her, I don't know that I would have ever had a kid. So, yeah, I really don't know how to talk about. I'm probably gonna say a lot of things wrong because people get offended at everything when talking about people being pregnant and stuff. There was one comment yesterday. Let me read it here. And I didn't go into the comments purposefully and got a lot of them. And this. This comment was like. And again, I'm gonna say a lot of stuff wrong. So if you're offended by what I say, I didn't mean to. But also, kick rocks.

[Lunchbox]

Both.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Like, I apologize in advance if I say something that's offensive, and I don't mean to be offensive, but this person wrote, glad you had success with IVF from a fellow IV effer. And I'm like, we didn't do ivf. And also, there's nothing wrong with ivf. A lot of my friends have done it.

[Eddie]

But why would they assume that?

[Bobby Bones]

No idea. No idea.

[Eddie]

That's a weird one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Did you come in back?

[Abby]

Bizarre.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't. I didn't come. It was on the Bobby Bones show page.

[Amy]

Well, I don't think your response was so.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I'm just saying over the next few months, I'm going to say stupid things. Yeah. Because I don't know enough about this.

[Amy]

Yeah. But I feel like. Was that an example of just someone else saying something stupid?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, you might. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

So, I mean, whatever. It's just someone making an assumption.

[Bobby Bones]

But why would you even assume that? Oh, well, you know, what about. Because she's 33. It's not like, you know, I don't. I don't know if there's. Is there an age thing when people get older? Is it more of a. Because she's not older yet. She's not. What's a geriatric pregnancy? Weird word, by the way.

[Amy]

So weird. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You should be, like, 80 and pregnant.

[Amy]

A man definitely coined that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you should be. Yeah. So, yeah, we didn't do ivf, but if we did, who cares? Why would you even write that anyway, if we did, like, you don't know that. You're just assuming something. Yeah, but that was the only thing that I saw.

[Amy]

You know what assuming does?

[Bobby Bones]

Mm.

[Eddie]

I've heard.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'll grab some calls, we'll take a little break, come back. It's really nice to be able to say it and not hide it anymore, so. And I've been dropping little Easter eggs here and there, if you guys have been paying attention. So, like, what?

[Lunchbox]

Stroller talk?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dude, it was all over stroller talk. You knew?

[Amy]

Oh, so maybe I wasn't noticing it.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably not.

[Amy]

Cause I'm like, well, sometimes we talk about stroll. And you kept saying over and over, I know nothing about strollers.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I know nothing about strollers.

[Amy]

Not yet, it didn't. I don't know if that was an Easter egg. Now I'm curious.

[Bobby Bones]

What were the eggs?

[Eddie]

So are you buying the Lamborghini stroller?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Lunchbox]

I still don't think so.

[Amy]

No, no, please don't.

[Bobby Bones]
