Lunchbox
Morning.
Bobby Bones
So we talked about Kaylen Lowry, who was a teen mom who has a podcast, Lunchbox loves teen mom. He loves 16 and pregnant. His favorite shows, basically. But Kayla Lowry came to Amy to be on her podcast, and we were kind of having a little laugh about it. Like, she went to Amy, not Lunchbox. But then we started to wonder if it was a scam, because there are these scams that go around even to book people on my podcast or this show where they're like, bobby wants you to come on and he'll give you thousands of dollars. Which is not true. But this one didn't offer any money, right, Amy? They were like, come on the podcast. And no, no money mentioned at all.
Amy Brown
They haven't asked for money yet. I don't know if that's coming because it is her manager, quote unquote, John Walker. And we were testing it out, like, hey, what is he going to send back if I say, hey, I'd love to be on the podcast, send more info. And that's all I rep. And then I got a response from him that was pretty detailed and still didn't ask for money. So maybe it's real.
Bobby Bones
So how's the English in it? Because a lot of times in these scams, there's like a word or two that's just off or misspelled. Okay, did you check the email address it was from?
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
And does that check out?
Amy Brown
I mean, it could be her, could be not. It's a Gmail. Okay, so, I mean, but it says, like, know.
Bobby Bones
As long as it's not like, scammer South Africa dot com.
Amy Brown
Correct. It's not like, you know, John Walker, 2345 at Yahoo.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so what did he say back?
Amy Brown
Hey, Amy, nice to hear from you. Thanks for accepting the invitation. Let me elaborate you with some details.
Bobby Bones
First, let me elaborate you. Did he say, let me elaborate you? Because that's An English mess up.
Amy Brown
Yes. Let me elaborate you with some details.
Bobby Bones
First, I'm already feeling scammed now because of the English mess up. Go ahead.
Amy Brown
This interview series is all about our guest journeys and stories. And then he went on to say that it's going to be virtual held on Facebook. Caitlin would and I would co host together. And he gave me dates anytime between February 11 and February 28. Just let him know when I'm available. And then he included demo questions for my episode and they're very tailored towards me.
Bobby Bones
Give me a couple questions.
Amy Brown
You've been a huge part of the Bobby Bones show for years. Did you always see yourself getting into radio or was it something that just kind of happened?
Bobby Bones
Okay, next one.
Amy Brown
Your podcast, four Things with Amy Brown covers such a great mix of topics. Health, self improvement and just everyday life. What inspired you to start it?
Bobby Bones
That's very detailed. So that's someone.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Listen to this.
Bobby Bones
Maybe it's. This might be real, but there were two things. One, who hosts a podcast on Facebook? That's a weird thing. Like it's going to be hosted on Facebook. She would have a podcast on Facebook then, specifically.
Amy Brown
Okay, well, remember that time I thought Joe Rogan was inviting me on his podcast?
Bobby Bones
I remember that. I remember that.
Amy Brown
That was a Facebook thing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy Brown
But, but.
Lunchbox
And that was fake.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's fake.
Amy Brown
I think we knew that was fake from the minute it said. Joe Rogan would like to have you on his podcast.
Bobby Bones
What else is it?
Amy Brown
It's. You've been really open about your journey with personal growth and your work in Haiti. What first connected you to all of this?
Bobby Bones
This scammer has gone the extra mile. Unless. Unless it's not a scammer. I would reply again. How did they leave? What was the final question?
Amy Brown
Let me go down. There's a lot. Let me see. Final question is we always like to end with something fun. What's one thing you're really into right now? Could be a book, a TV show, a new hobby, anything. Thanks. In regards, John.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I guess. I mean, what was his final question like to go to the next email? Like, is he asking you? Reach out anytime.
Amy Brown
Oh, he just ended with the demo questions. But the before the questions he said, these are the windows available February 11th through 28th. You can let me know what date you're available. So now I need to reply back with the dates that I'm available.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Pick a random date. Who cares? Let's just see how far this goes.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It would be hilarious if we could scam him out of money somehow.
Amy Brown
Yeah. So I'm just gonna say February 11th. Let's go the soonest.
Bobby Bones
Let's go around the room. Do we think this is a scam? But the only reason I think it's that it could not be is the extreme detail of the questions. The reason I think it probably is is, one, the Facebook thing where it's like, hey, we're gonna do it live on Facebook. You'll be a co host. No one says that when you're going on someone's podcast. And secondly, there was some, like, English language. It was like, 480 or whatever that was.
Amy Brown
Well, the first sentence is a red flag. Thanks for accepting the invitation. Comma. Let me elaborate you with some details first.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's not somebody. That's not somebody in America.
Amy Brown
I know. It's definitely starting to feel phony. And they could just go like. They could generate questions by typing in, Amy, Bobby Bone Show. Tell me about her and what are some good questions to ask her or something.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll go to Chat GPT. Okay, Chat GPT here. Okay, here's what I would type in a Chat GPT. I would say, give me some questions to interview Amy Brown from the Bobby Bones Show. Question number one. What inspired you to join the Bobby Bone show, and how has your role evolved over the years?
Amy Brown
That's literally what it says.
Bobby Bones
Number two, you often bring both lighthearted, fun and meaningful conversations to the show. How do you strike that balance? These are questions from AI.
Amy Brown
Oh, my gosh. Ask me another one.
Bobby Bones
Hosting women of IR country is such an impactful role. What's been the most rewarding part of sharing a spotlight on female artists and country music? Guys, this is Chat GPT giving me these questions. Wow. So you for sure got to set up a time. We got to see where the scam comes in.
Amy Brown
Yeah. Okay, so February 11th.
Bobby Bones
Set up a time, like, right after the show too, so we can be there. I don't think it'll get to that point, but set up a time. Yeah, February 11th. See if you can do it at.
Lunchbox
Like, 11:00am so this is 100 a scam, right?
Bobby Bones
I mean, it's 99.9. And who loves this most is Lunchbox. Who's gonna be so upset if Amy went on this podcast for real? Yep.
Eddie
I'm sitting over here going, yes, yes, yes. Thank goodness she didn't go to you, because that is annoying. Come to me first. I'm the teen mom fan.
Bobby Bones
He for sure would have been scammed. So the guy messed up by not going to lunchbox.
Eddie
Oh, I would have replied a minute.
Bobby Bones
Said I'm there and here's my credit card. Okay, so do that, Amy, and then let us know what's next.
Amy Brown
Okay. February 11th, 11:00am you say our goal.
Bobby Bones
Is to scam them somehow. Come on, like, let's. I'm gonna figure out a way. I'm gonna try to figure out where to get some money from them.
Amy Brown
Okay, I'm replying back good questions.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I love. Yeah, I love the questions. Thank you for being so in depth.
Amy Brown
Sounds like it will be so much fun. February 11th. It sounds great. Does 11am Work Central? Central, yeah, got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'm in.
Eddie
It's the anonymous in.
Bobby Bones
Hello, Bobby Bones. I work as an IT specialist for a national pharmaceutical company. I put in more than 50 hours every week troubleshooting company computers and networks. In my off time, I prefer to not have anything to do computer related. But all of my friends and family know I have skills to solve their tech problems and are constantly hitting me up to help them out. They expect me to do all this work for free and it's starting to annoy me. I have to figure out a way to draw a line somewhere and deal with these constant requests without seeming rude. Any ideas on how to best handle this? Signed, the family IT guy. So my friend Josie, who is our vet, people call her all the time about animal issues. I kind of feel bad for her. Even people that aren't friends of hers that just have her number, they just go, hey, my dog's sick. What do you think this is? She's like, man, I guess I'll have. But I could get where that would be annoying. Or being a doctor or a therapist, or being Morgan who has to deal with Lunchbox's IT stuff all the time. He calls her every night. How do I get my email to open? This is one of those situations where you have to understand this is what you do. And you do help out a bit, but you also have to draw a boundary so they're not doing it all the time. However, I'm sure you. I won't say take advantage. I'm sure you use the resources in front of you at times as family members who can do certain things. Like if I had a family member as a nurse, I'd be. All the time, all the time. So this is your job. Help out your family as much as you can, but just don't answer the phone at times. That's what I do. I don't want to hear from anybody. I won't answer the phone, then if I get a text saying what it is, then if I feel like I want to deal with it, I'll hit back.
Amy Brown
Can you start acting like you don't know what the problem is? Can you be, I don't know. I've never seen this before. And then they. Then they're like, never mind. They're not good at their job.
Bobby Bones
I don't think they'll stop. And that also takes energy just to answer the call and have to do the whole song and dance.
Amy Brown
True, true.
Bobby Bones
So I would just ignore calls that weren't priority calls from people that aren't priority people because it feels like it's a bunch of second cousins and third uncles that are calling for this stuff. And then if they text you and go, hey, it's about this, boom, you hit them back. However, you are a great IT guy. So if you are in my circle, I would hit you up on had it problems. It's a good problem to have.
Amy Brown
Could he send them a bill?
Bobby Bones
It's your family. They're never going to pay it. You send them whatever you want. Send them 10 bills.
Amy Brown
I guess just have a conversation. Set a boundary.
Bobby Bones
It's a bit of balance, of understanding this is part of who you are and you should help. This is your skill and your village. And then also you'll have to figure out how to set boundaries. And some of those boundaries, at least for me, I just don't answer the phone. And then when I do get the text saying what it's about, if I'm like, oh, it's not what I thought it was, I'm happy to help. Yeah, boundaries are never comfortable. We encourage you to set them. Hey, put up a firewall. I'll talk in his language. Put up a firewall and only let people in if they have the right password. This ain't the little, bitty, itty, bitty, teeny tiny bowl.

It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little pink.
Eddie
There was something sentimental when you, when you send it. It was like, do I send the heart?
Bobby Bones
Now I don't like the color edition.
Eddie
It's extremely pink.

Mike
I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community, and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps.

Bobby Bones
Amy, what do you have?
Amy Brown
So I found a post from teachers sharing ridiculous requests they've received from parents.
Bobby Bones
Parents and kids. Sports are terrible. I can only imagine what the day to day is for a teacher who's dealing with parents. Okay, go ahead.
Amy Brown
Can you refrain from using the number 13 in your class? I know you teach math, but our family is very superstitious, and we don't want our son to have bad luck.
Lunchbox
What the.
Bobby Bones
Asking a math teacher not to use a number.
Amy Brown
Another one? Can you make sure my daughter is always the first to be called on? She likes being first.
Lunchbox
Man, this is terrible.
Bobby Bones
I bet that kid's a nightmare.
Amy Brown
Yeah, this one is amazing. Can you confiscate my daughter's phone for the week? She could really use a break from social media. But I don't want her to be mad at me.
Lunchbox
I get that.
Bobby Bones
That was funny. You don't be the bad guy.
Amy Brown
Right, right, right. Can you pass these birthday invitations to all the kids except for Ryan and Will? My daughter doesn't like them.
Bobby Bones
Is there still the rule where you have to invite everybody if you invite somebody in class?
Lunchbox
Unspoken rule at school.
Bobby Bones
Unspoken. If you have a party and you invite at school, in class, you give that. There was a rule, maybe unspoken. You have to invite everybody.
Lunchbox
I think it's unspoken, but it also ends, like, after, like, the second grade.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I was gonna say that must be elementary school, because we don't have that problem.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I didn't think in high school that was the thing. Yeah, no, I mean young kids.
Amy Brown
Also junior high sort of thing.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
Can you use a Sound machine during class testing. Silence triggers my son's anxiety.
Bobby Bones
What kind of parent thinks that a teacher is gonna do that? If the kid was by. Let's say it was a kid who had some mental health problems who was taking a test by himself. Okay, I could see that happening, but asking for a sound machine with other kids in the room, that's trouble. What else?
Amy Brown
Any chance you could buy an air purifier for your class? My daughter hates the way it smells and it exacerbates her asthma. Okay, and the final one. Would it be possible to get a Buddhist monk to come teach meditation and yoga choice? It would really improve the negative vibes around the children.
Bobby Bones
What kind of parents are you guys to your kids? Teachers. Do you have a relationship with them? Do you communicate? How do you communicate?
Amy Brown
I don't know, Email.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And do you, if you saw them, any of them at Walmart, would you know them?
Amy Brown
One of them.
Bobby Bones
Do you talk with them enough? No. Okay, I'm sure purposefully, right? Like she's 17 or your son's.
Amy Brown
Yeah, I mean, I would say more the guidance counselor on email the most, and then other teachers email. But no, my kids pretty much communicate with their teachers on their own. And also, honestly, Ben's better at going to the in public stuff. We actually. I take that back. I mean, I would probably recognize all of them, but I don't know that I would go up and talk to them. Like some of the ones that I've been on Zooms with because my kids have IEPs, which is like a special learning thing. No, but it's a special program in public schools that's really, really helpful, like for test taking. They legit might actually be able to go to another room and get a sound machine.
Bobby Bones
And that's okay. Them by themselves.
Amy Brown
Right, but those are the. That team of people. That's who I would recognize. But mostly it's just email and rare. My kids are doing great.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, your kids are younger. Do you know? Well, does your wife know the teachers?
Lunchbox
My wife knows every single one of them, dude. I don't know. One teacher.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's why I didn't ask about.
Lunchbox
It the other day I went to go pick him up because when I had to go to a dentist appointment and they're like, okay, what class is he in?
Amy Brown
I'm like, right.
Lunchbox
I have no idea.
Amy Brown
But that's where it's flipped because Ben will go to the in person stuff and I'm like, I'll do Zoom or I'll do a phone call. Or I'll do.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you're doing something. Eddie had to go pick him up. Has done nothing. And it's just a bunch of random stranger adults with kids and know the teacher.
Lunchbox
Who's his teacher? I have no idea what guide's in.
Amy Brown
I don't know. So if it says back to school or in person meeting, it says optional next to it. I'm like, optional. Ben's like, I'll be there. Like, good for you. Good for you.
Lunchbox
You need one of those parents.
Amy Brown
You're a good dad and.
Bobby Bones
And Ben and your wife.
Lunchbox
That's the rise of the two.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with lunchbox.
Mike
Tell me something.
Eddie
Or taking a trip down to Orange, Texas, where a woman was working the drive through window when a car pulls up and a mom has the baby out the window. She's like, huh, that looks weird. And she notices the baby's not breathing. So the manager reaches through the drive through window, grabs the baby, Boom, boom, boom. Hits it on the back three times. Baby started breathing again.
Bobby Bones
How'd the manager know to do that?
Eddie
Instincts. No medical training. Just said, saw the baby, saw the mother, looked like she was freaking out, knew something was wrong, grab the baby and bam, bam, bam.
Lunchbox
Interesting that the mom do that. Thought that holding the baby out to the manager.
Bobby Bones
The manager, restaurant. I feel the same way. Or that she was like, hey, can someone help? And someone's like, he knows baby cpr.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
No, but Nicolette Wilkerson was the manager. She grabbed the baby.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it was a woman.
Eddie
Did the boom, boom, boom.
Bobby Bones
Women have better instincts. Okay. Yes. Then we were total idiots. We thought it was an idiot, dude.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Lucky it was the manager and one. Just some teenager working the drive through window. Because they'd have been like, sorry, we don't take babies.
Lunchbox
No way, dude.
Bobby Bones
We'll take dollars, not babies to buy your milkshake. Yeah, I'm looking at the video here. No, I mean she literally takes her. It's. I mean, how to you say how? It's like they look small but not like infinite. I don't know.
Lunchbox
How big?
Eddie
Yeah, I think maybe one and a half. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
It just says baby now I'm watching it. She's like, can you help? Boom, baby up. She grabs it.
Eddie
Boom, boom.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
Was the baby choking? Is that what it was? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The mom gets out of the car to hand it to her. Hey, can you help?
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't just through the window. I thought they were like holding it out. Yeah, yeah. Great story. Big shout out. What's the manager's name?
Eddie
Nicolette Wilkerson.
Bobby Bones
Nicolette Wilkerson. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Fun Fact, Brighton. Super. Super bowl edition of Fun Fact Friday. Augo First. Phil Sims, quarterback of the Giants, was the first ever to say, I'm going to Disney World after winning the Super Bowl MVP in 1987. And now pretty much everybody has said it every year. And Disney pays for. Then they actually get paid to go to Disney World, which is pretty cool.
Amy Brown
Amy, more food is eaten on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day except Thanksgiving. It's the only day.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys. Are you at your stage in life? Do you like a Super bowl party?
Amy Brown
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Love it. Hate it.
Amy Brown
But I like it. I like it for the food.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Do you stay the whole game?
Amy Brown
No, I don't need to. Have I eaten? Then we're good.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, do you stay the whole game?
Lunchbox
Do I stay the whole game?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
All the way to the very end.
Bobby Bones
Do you have the party?
Lunchbox
I normally like to host the party at my house. Yes, we do. Bingo cards and all that with food and everything.
Bobby Bones
I've never once been to a party. You've hosted?
Lunchbox
Well, because my wife would say together. Really?
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
It's like kids and stuff.
Lunchbox
Yeah, those kids. It's. It's usually my kids, friends and their parents.
Bobby Bones
You come to parties? We've had.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
We've never once come to a party. You've never even been invited.
Lunchbox
Do you want to come to one of our Super Bowls?
Bobby Bones
No. God, no. But I'm saying I don't want. All I want to is to be invited one time.
Lunchbox
Okay, we'll invite you next time.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Eddie
On Super Bowl Sunday, Americans will spend $1.3 billion on beer.
Bobby Bones
I need to know how many Americans that is. I need it broken down. No, no.
Eddie
1.3 billion. I'm not talking billion dollars on beer in one day.
Bobby Bones
No, I hear you. If that's one person, I'd be like, that guy has problems. I just need it broken down. When it's like one of those real high numbers, like how much per person per beer.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Amy Brown
Well, just. Yeah, I don't know how to do it. By the people watching, but not everybody watching. Drinks.
Bobby Bones
The coin toss has resulted in heads 29 times and tails 29 times.
Amy Brown
That's interesting.
Bobby Bones
50. 50 straight up. Since the beginning of flipping the coin, who has the most Super Bowl MVP awards? Amy.
Amy Brown
Tom Brady.
Bobby Bones
Correct. Five.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
The super bowl halftime show. Did not feature big name artists until 1993, when Michael Jackson performed. Until then, I don't even know what they did. They even show it? Had no ideas. Have you been having parties for a long time? Do they even show it? Yeah, I have no idea, Morgan.
Amy Brown
All right, so in the mid-1960s, Lamar Hunt, who is the Kansas City Chiefs owner, he first used the term super bowl, later saying the name was likely in his head because his children had been playing with a Super ball toy. It's also claimed that the name came from the bull shape of football stadiums.
Bobby Bones
So Lamar Hunt gets credit for naming it the Super Bowl.
Lunchbox
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
The first super bowl ticket cost $12 in 1967. Super bowl tickets right now, I looked it up. Are currently listed on StubHub anywhere from the absolute cheapest at 5,000 to 55,000 in the stadium. And that's not a suite. In a suite, there are hundreds of thousands each, like, for a single seat. The Buffalo Bills appeared in four straight Super Bowls. Listen to this, Amy. Think of that. They went 1, 2, 3, 4, 91, 92, 93, and 94. Four in a row. Never happened. How many you think they won?
Amy Brown
None.
Bobby Bones
None.
Lunchbox
Good job.
Bobby Bones
They lost four in a row.
Amy Brown
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy to think about now. I remember it happening. Being a kid and being like, oh, that sucks for them. Jim Kelly, that sucks. But to go four years in a row and lose every time and they're not going again. I know, well. And then finally, commercials during the super bowl cost about $7 million this year for a 32nd spot. It used to be a thing too, where it's like, wait for the commercials. But now pretty much all the good commercials you see beforehand, it's not. It has the lore of Saturday morning cartoons. Back in the day, man, Saturday morning, wake up, watch cartoons now there's cartoons everywhere. You find them online all times a day. Yeah, Super Bowl. You already see the commercials. They make a big deal about the commercial before they even come out.
Amy Brown
So before Michael Jackson's performance, because you were talking about that was the first one in 1993. Like televised halftime show.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Amy Brown
It was often uneventful before that, and featured college marching bands and flag spinning.
Bobby Bones
There's no way they put that on tv, right?
Amy Brown
Well, that was just. Probably not. But that was what was the entertainment.
Bobby Bones
At the super bowl, even at, like, college football games.
Amy Brown
But, I mean, some of that stuff is impressive.
Bobby Bones
I'm not saying it's not impressive, but I can't see people gathering around the TV like, hey, put your wing down. Come over and watch the flag spinning real quick.
Amy Brown
I guess. Did Michael Jackson do it?
Bobby Bones
Because Pepsi, it probably was a bunch of money put into sponsorship and then.
Amy Brown
They'Re like, oh, okay, we're on to something now.

But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season. Join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps.

A voicemail from Jillian was just doing.
Listener
A follow up on Amy's piano recital. It actually started because Abby was wanting to learn how to play the guitar. Amy was saying that she used to play the piano. Her deadline was in January to do her piano rec along with Abby. So any update would be really fun to listen to.
Bobby Bones
Thank you so much for reminding us. Amy loves a commitment. Amy yeah, piano recital. So how lessons been going?
Amy Brown
I totally forgot about that. But I'm thankful for the reminder because I still want to do it. I still want to take piano. So.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so. Well, that'll never happen But Jillian, that's not true.
Lunchbox
What's first, a three point shot or the.
Bobby Bones
Well, we can make her the three point shot. That's easy. But she said she was going to take piano lessons and come do a recital because Abby did guitar.
Amy Brown
Guys, I. I did shoot three pointers the other day and I may. I. I shot probably 10 and I made one. 10 shots. Only made one. So what's the math on that? Like 10%.
Bobby Bones
That's like the easiest math ever. When you do.
Amy Brown
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't. I mean in regards.
Bobby Bones
Because I can't figure it out. What's.
Amy Brown
No, I know that part. I'm saying in regards to the challenge.
Bobby Bones
Because I don't really remember the challenge yet, but we will go back to it. I just wanted everybody to be reminded that Amy promised she would learn piano over the year and did not. Next up, Ray, give me Tammy and Virginia.
Amy Brown
Good morning, studio. Don't want to put him on the spot, but I was just curious. Did Eddie keep the diamond bracelet that he got from for Christmas or did he return it and get something else?
Bobby Bones
Let's go. I love our listeners because we. They will come and remember things. Eddie, we did this game. You got drawn. Eddie was given a diamond bracelet by Scuba Steve per gift cards. Eddie, what's up with the diamond bracelet?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah. You know, you believe something that you can return diamonds back to the store. I just gave it a shot and they took him back.
Arturo Castro
So you.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Did you even give it to your wife?
Lunchbox
I mean, she's like, you know what I mean? I don't really wear that kind of stuff. So I was like, let's just take it back.
Bobby Bones
So you return your Christmas gift and.
Lunchbox
We got gift cards.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. How. How much of the gift cards?
Lunchbox
I mean, dude, like 800, 800 gift cards. So we've bought all sorts of stuff. I got a blender. What else did I get? An ice cream maker.
Bobby Bones
Scuba Steve, how do you feel about Eddie returning your gift?
Scuba Steve
I mean, he could do whatever he wants with it. I just a little disappointed you didn't give it to your wife because. Yes, she's saying she doesn't want diamond bracelets. It's just because she's not used to it because you don't give it to her. So you might as well. So she has an opportunity to have something nice for herself and you take it away and get stupid gift cards.
Bobby Bones
That's just my opinion. Did she see it?
Lunchbox
She saw them. And I did try to do the whole Christmas thing, like hey, look, I got you diamonds. She's like, I will never wear that. Not her style.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Lunchbox
Not her style to wear diamonds.
Bobby Bones
So it was on her, not you.
Lunchbox
Yeah, man.
Bobby Bones
Give me Stacy from Maryland.
Listener
I heard Amy mention on her podcast that she has a boyfriend, and we haven't gotten an update on the Bobby Bones show, so. So I was wondering if she wanted to tell us more about the boyfriend. Love the show. Love you guys.
Bobby Bones
Thanks, Amy. Amy, breaking news on our podcast. All right, go ahead.
Amy Brown
Me, you, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
I didn't make that voicemail up.
Mike
It's on my list of voicemail.
Amy Brown
I think you made it up. But you know what's gonna be played.
Bobby Bones
Trust me, I had a hundred of those.
Amy Brown
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And even Eddie hit me up a couple days ago going, hey, Amy said on a podcast she had a boyfriend.
Amy Brown
How does Eddie know you're. You're listening to my podcast?
Lunchbox
No, somebody messaged me.
Bobby Bones
Listeners are.
Amy Brown
Yeah, okay. No, I do not ship the brain. I said all my podcasts that I've been dating, and I just talk more, especially when I'm talking to, like, my friend Kat, and it's. It's like a safe space where I don't have a safe space.
Bobby Bones
It's what we're doing here.
Amy Brown
It's a safe.
Bobby Bones
Just address. Address the question.
Amy Brown
Safe.
Bobby Bones
Address the question.
Amy Brown
Okay. Well, how do you. I. I just felt like it would be more of. Like, this is a very special place to announce it, like, if you've already announced it. But I haven't really announced it. I mean, on my podcast, it's very different than the listeners of this show. I mean, it's the audience. If you want to talk about the numbers, it's very different.
Bobby Bones
If you've said it, you've said it.
Amy Brown
But if I've what? I haven't said it on social media.
Lunchbox
That's true. People and, like, have articles where they say, I heard this on a podcast. So now it's out. It's out.
Amy Brown
Yeah. But it's very different, Bobby, this.
Bobby Bones
Why are we taking the blame?
Amy Brown
I'm not taking the blame. There's so many.
Bobby Bones
Podcast again, please.
Amy Brown
It just feels like.
Bobby Bones
Sorry. Play the voicemail again, please.
Listener
I heard Amy mention on her podcast that she has a boyfriend, and we haven't gotten an update on the Bobby Bones show, so I was wondering if she wanted to tell us more about the boyfriend. Love the show. Love you guys. Thanks.
Amy Brown
Okay, so what do y'all. What do y'all want to know?
Eddie
Cat got the tongue?
Amy Brown
Bobby, what do you. What should we do?
Bobby Bones
What do we do? Whatever you've said on your podcast.
Amy Brown
I haven't said much on my podcast at all. Like, I haven't said details. This is not.
Bobby Bones
Look, I have to unleash Lunchbox, okay?
Eddie
This is what goes down Amy. So you. You guys doing it?
Amy Brown
Are we What?
Lunchbox
What is he talking about?
Bobby Bones
I'll let him out. Gotta put him back in the cage. I'm gonna check a whistle.
Amy Brown
I think we should carve out special time.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Lunchbox
What's the dog doing?
Bobby Bones
Oh, the dog is peeing on everything.
Mike
Come on.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Amy Brown
So shout out to this mom in Detroit. She has set up a little food pantry in her front yard. And it all started with her late son, Nikki Lee. She put out a box in his honor last March. Just one box. Now she's expanded to four boxes full of stuff that people may need. A bread bin and a fully stocked pantry. Inside of her home, she offers food hygiene products and naran. You know what that is? No, I had to look it up. But it is something that reverses opioid. An overdose or something. So it's some. If you need that, like, you can go there and have access to the Narcan. And it could be really helpful. Obviously, maybe in her community, that's a problem, and I just think it's really cool. She said, In January alone, 775 families benefited from the pantry.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. At least you would think of Narcan as well.
Amy Brown
I know. Very thoughtful. I mean, I wonder. I don't know. Is inspired by her late sons. So either way, she's probably been impacted by something like that. To have that in the forefront of her mind, it's just good for other people to hear because maybe other people can do something like this. And the motto is, leave what you can, take what you need.
Bobby Bones
It's a good story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. And you made a psychic prediction weeks ago that the Eagles were going to win the Super Bowl. But she didn't know it was about the Super Bowl. She said my garage had this water explosion, but for some reason, add this thought, this. This premonition. I needed to move everything out. So she did, and then, boom, the garage blows up. Now she has a cousin that is a psychic.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's not funny.
Bobby Bones
You're the one that's convinced us to respect it.
Amy Brown
I'm not saying respect it. I said I had this weird, like, gut feeling to get Rid of all this stuff out of my garage the day before.
Bobby Bones
No, we never expected your cousin.
Amy Brown
No, well, I'm not blood related to her. And we've been over this, so it's not like in my Arkansas cousin.
Bobby Bones
Anybody that we're just close to over a long time, that's your cousin.
Amy Brown
Okay, okay, okay.
Bobby Bones
So Amy's like a mighty psychic. So we had her go into my room, sit in a dark room for five minutes, gave her no. No place to go. There was no arrow pointing to what she needed to come back with. And she comes back and goes, I just kept seeing an eagle. And she didn't know the Eagles had even won that playoff game, and they.
Amy Brown
Had not a clue.
Bobby Bones
And now they're in the Super Bowl. And this is Trucker Joe here. Number two. Hey, Bobby. I'm gonna show you how much I trust Amy. I just put a hundred bucks on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. Have a good day. Amy could be a Muppet baby making our dreams come true. So, the other thing is a listener messaged in after Amy said that and said that Amy might be psychic. And this one's dark.
Amy Brown
What?
Bobby Bones
Because that American.
Amy Brown
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
That American Eagle flight that crashed into the helicopter.
Lunchbox
Bones, I didn't even think about that.
Amy Brown
Okay, that's not. That's not Amy.
Lunchbox
How did you see the eagles?
Amy Brown
No, this is supposed to be fun. That's not fun.
Bobby Bones
It's not fun or not fun? I'm just saying that's what a listener said. And I was like, I think about that. And also, that's just random.
Amy Brown
No, I saw an eagle soaring towards the sun. It was beautiful.
Bobby Bones
With the pig skin at hand.
Amy Brown
Maybe. I don't know. Maybe. All I know is that I emerged from there and thought she walked out of my office.
Bobby Bones
This is how psychics talk. I emerged from the chamber.
Amy Brown
Yes. And I was like, guys, I feel like the Eagles are going to win the Super Bowl. And then y'all were like, what?
Bobby Bones
Well, you didn't even know they won the playoff game. And that's. That's why we were surprised. Okay?
Amy Brown
I had no clue anything. I just thought, that's what I'm going to go with.
Bobby Bones
And the next voicemail. Ray.
Listener
Hey, studio. I love the show. I just wanted to share a morning Corny for Amy.
Amy Brown
Why did the whale blush?
Listener
Because it saw the ocean's bottom.
Amy Brown
No.
Bobby Bones
Very cute. There you go. That's kind of cute. Okay, now time for Amy's Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.
Amy Brown
What do you call a surgery on leap Day.
Bobby Bones
What do you call a surgery on leap day?
Amy Brown
A hopperation.
Lunchbox
Like leap.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning. Corny. Leap day is not about jumping.
Amy Brown
Yeah, you leap a day, you jump a day. You hop a day.
Bobby Bones
A leap year. They add a day.
Amy Brown
No. What?
Eddie
Yeah, they add a day.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's the dumbest joke ever.
Amy Brown
Okay, well, why do they call it leap? It seems like you're skipping over something.
Bobby Bones
I'll forgive you.
Amy Brown
Is it? Fine. Whatever. I mean, I didn't write it.
Bobby Bones
You're psychic. No, you can't doing that now. She can't start blaming the writers. Okay, thank you, guys. Appreciate you guys being here.
Amy Brown
I have so many leap day jokes. They're all like that.
Lunchbox
Yeah, get rid of them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we have. It's because an extra day causes the dates to leap forward.
Amy Brown
Okay, there you go. Operation it works.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy Brown
Just like athletes wear jumpsuits on leap day. And most people eat it. IHOP on leap day.
Bobby Bones
And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first time.
