I was listening to some more of that Savannah Guthrie interview. I'm now convinced that my instinct is wrong on what happened. I know nothing more than just seeing what everybody else is seeing and drawing my own conclusions. But Savannah Guthrie said no, we're convinced that it was a kidnapping and it was a absolute ransom note targeted. They know things that we don't know. So I no longer think that it was a robbery where she walked out and they just accidentally, for whatever reason stumbled upon her and had to kill her. So like to say that after watching that interview I was like, yeah, yeah, I'll just go ahead and say I was most likely wrong. Unless they're just. Unless she's just saying that to get them off the scent. And it really is what I thought.
Eddie
Tbd.
Bobby Bones
I always find a way to make me right. Yeah, no, so I did see that. It's completely heartbreaking. And the people that are convinced though that it's a conspiracy to draw our eyes to something other than Epstein, the war in Iran, it's just such a random thing to bet on. Like if you're in the CIA and you're like, we really need to create a diversion so people don't look at the war in Iran and don't look at gas prices skyrocketing with a war that isn't benefiting us at all. Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons or Epstein. That's not the. That's not.
Amy
So let's go with Savannah Guthrie's mom.
Bobby Bones
Let's go with the random news anchors, 84 year old mom. That's not it. Yeah, because you don't know what pop culture is going to bond itself to. The crazy thing that blew up as a story was the Kelsey's, the parents of Travis Kelsey doing home renovations. Did you guys see how that blew up on the Internet?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
So TMZ did a really dumb story and it's why it blew up. It was like Travis Kelce's mom is doing home renovations and everybody just started killing it. Like this is a story. This is the dumbest story ever. You're just doing anything with the Kelsey's because you know it'll get at least some clicks because of Taylor Swift. But it was such a dumb story that it turned into a massive story. You just never know what's going to go viral, what pop culture's again going to bind itself to. So for them to bet on the Today show anchor's mom being abducted to take over like it did.
Amy
Yeah. Who? Yeah, you wouldn't know.
Bobby Bones
You wouldn't know.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So that's what's up. That's not my story. I just wanted to lead with that. That I. I'm probably wrong on that. After watching that clip of her talk about that. Okay, what do you want first? Do you want. This woman was driving. She had a brain issue. She had a pothole. She's all good now.
Amy
She had a brain issue. So the pothole shook her brain.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she was brain dead. Wait, because of the pothole, she boom, back in. Yeah. Yeah. So.
Amy
Oh, like she was in an ambulance or something.
Bobby Bones
She fainted February 22nd while doing housework, was rushed to the local hospital, and due to the severity of her condition, she was referred to a more advanced medical facility where doctors performed a series of tests and ultimately declared her brain dead. After discussing with the doctors, her husband learned there was no hope that she would ever regain consciousness, as her brain stem reflexes were absent and her consciousness level was at 3 points on the Glasgow Coma Scale compared to 15 points of a fully awake person. The woman. Finally, the family decided to have her discharged and began making funeral preparations. On February 24, as the ambulance was driving on the road, it hit a large pothole, which created a powerful jerk. The husband immediately noticed that she had begun breathing normally right after the jolt, and her condition only improved from there. After they took her back to the hospital, she baffled doctors who had previously given her no chance of recovery. She has since returned home, is awake and talking to family members who were just preparing last rites.
Amy
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
The jolt from hitting the pothole is credited for shocking her back into consciousness, but people on social media are pointing out this is a one in a million anomaly. I would agree. This is something that you probably can't take every brain dead person and drive them through the streets of Nashville. We have potholes every year. Lots of potholes. So that's wild. From Oddity Central.
Eddie
How amazing.
Bobby Bones
I got my defibrillator hooked up in the house.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because when they send it to you, it is not together when.
Eddie
You mean it's not like in a briefcase thing.
Bobby Bones
It's in a box and the packs are together and you got to put.
Amy
You have to put it together.
Bobby Bones
I did. It was easy. It was easy.
Eddie
I should double check that.
Bobby Bones
But it wasn't put together and so I had to do all of that because it's in like a zip pouch, too. And I had to hook the. The pads and on A baby, you do one on the chest, one on their back. It's like a sandwich. Yeah. So we. We took the class, learned all that stuff. But those classes are pretty beneficial. Not just that one. We took, like three of them. We took a. And I say we. I think my wife knew the stuff, but I think it was for me. She just didn't want to say she was making me alone do the class.
Eddie
The class was just for you.
Bobby Bones
I think now looking back. Looking back, that that's what it was. And that's okay, because it got me because I felt like we were doing it together. But she also, when her niece was born, because she had graduated college, she had moved to Houston. And she was working in oil and gas and international commodities. Oil and gas. And she wanted to go get another advanced degree. So she moved to California. She could still do her job while getting a master's because her brother was out there. So she was staying with her brother while she was getting her masters. She'd already been in school for years when she did this. But they had a kid, and she helped with their baby a lot, all the time. So I think she knew a lot of the baby stuff because she helped with her niece so much. And it hit me the other day, because she knows how to do everything now. And I think she knew how to do most things already from that. That. Those classes, one of them, specifically, where the woman came over and just taught how to change a diaper. That's where I learned to put a diaper underneath the diaper that's on. So when you change it, let's say you pull the diaper out. Babies keep going to the bathroom. Sometimes whenever you change their diaper or they start again, or when you're, like, wiping them with the wipe. And. And I've learned with a girl, you can't wipe butt to vagina. Cause you'll put the poop in the vagina. You have to always go front to back. Yeah, that's better than butt to vagina. Vagina to butt. You gotta do front to back, always. So it's just wax on, wax off. But it's paint. It's Karate Kid paint, but only up to down. So there are all these things that I had to learn. I think she already knew, but that's how she got me there. But I learned the double diaper. I learned to swaddle. So swaddles now, though, they have Velcro clutch. I'm a good swaddler with nothing. I'm a great swaddler with the Velcro ones. And there's a difference that in a knapsack. I've just learned. I've learned so much. I learned a bit from that class, but now I've learned so much. But I did that class. We did the first aid, the safety class, which was adult cpr. The timing of it and that episode from the Office has really helped people because you do it to stay in alive. And you lock your arm with a baby. You do only with one hand. Or you do two finger, two thumbs.
Eddie
Two thumbs used to be fingers.
Bobby Bones
Now you do two thumbs.
Amy
And what's the song working? Nine to five.
Bobby Bones
Nine to five for a baby. Because they breathe faster. And then I said, okay, I'll practice going, okay, nine to five, whatever. No, no, no, no.
Eddie
Too fast.
Bobby Bones
Just a little faster. But we do those classes, and it has helped.
Amy
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
We did the hospital. It doesn't count as a class, but we went up and did a hospital to know. Because a lot of people, when they get there, it's their first time going to that part, and they're going, oh, my God. Oh, my God, she's in labor. Where do we go? And first you have to go through security, and they have to check all your bags. And then you gotta stand in front and do a little twirl over, like a infrared. Make sure you have some weapon hidden in your butthole or something.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Because they want to protect those hospitals. And so then you go and check in, and then you go to this floor, but you can only use this set of elevators. And here's where the nurse. So that was beneficial, too, because when we got there, we had an understanding of what we had to do before we had to go do what she had to do.
Eddie
They even tell you where to park.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And they said, when you get here, that's so important. When you get here, there are, like three or four spots that you park immediately right here by the door. If she's about to go into labor right this second, you still got to go through the process, but park right here. And then once you're in and you're settled, you go move your car. And so that's what we did.
Eddie
Yeah, I remember thinking that was weird, because the movies. The movies are like, oh, go up to the emergency room and rush out. She's having a baby. But no, park your car.
Bobby Bones
Well, we parked right next to the door because there are those three or four spots. And then an hour later, I came down and moved it. Yeah. You would think with every person that they declare brain dead. They try to shock them though, right? With them.
Eddie
Well, now we just have to hit him or something, right? With like a pot.
Bobby Bones
You start punching them, try something shaking them. So that was my story. I wanted to lead with Amy.
Amy
So did y' all see the story, the viral one about the kidnapped dogs that escaped and you saw them walking. Okay.
Bobby Bones
They went back home. Right.
Amy
It was really heartwarming. Right. Well, turns out it's not true.
Eddie
It was all a lie.
Amy
Yeah. So what many believed was a dramatic story about seven kidnapped dogs escaping and finding their way home together in China has turned out to not be true.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know it was in China. I just saw the story. And it was at the same time, that story where those people went in and broke into the.
Amy
The meat.
Bobby Bones
Meat. I don't think they were. No, they're breeding dogs.
Amy
I thought it was a meat truck.
Bobby Bones
No, no, there was a place in
Amy
America where there was a. Oh, yes, yes, yes. I saw them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Morgan
It was a testing place.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Not meat, right?
Amy
No, yeah, no, it was.
Morgan
They breed them to be tested on
Bobby Bones
or eating beagle meat.
Amy
No, no, no, no, no. Sorry, I was talking, but that story
Bobby Bones
came out at the same time and I got them confused a bit.
Amy
The original video was real, showing seven dogs walking together along a highway. But social media quickly filled in emotional and false details about an escape from a dog meat factory. What? What's wrong with the Internet? Why they gotta do that to us? AI generated videos, then supercharged the story, turning it into a movie style journey home. One I believed in reality. Reporting found that the dogs belonged to a nearby villagers and they were simply roaming because the German shepherd was in heat and it wasn't unusual for them to walk around for a couple of days. The German shepherd has now been put on a leash.
Eddie
You know what? Who cares if it's not real? Like, if it makes Amy feel good? Like, let's not ruin that for Amy. Let's just.
Amy
Yeah, like, don't tell me.
Bobby Bones
Don't message her back and go, this is AI Every time. But you, you believe it and you think it's AI or you think it's real? And I'm like, no, this is AI. Don't believe this. Remember the judge that was hugging the person who.
Amy
I loved that one.
Eddie
I never told you guys, but I felt I fell for that video too.
Bobby Bones
You did?
Eddie
Yeah. When you guys were arguing about it, I'm just like. I just kept quiet.
Amy
Eddie fell for it too.
Eddie
I loved that video, that one.
Amy
Honestly. I kind of wish you would have kept to yourself. That restored humanity for me that day. I was like, this is so beautiful.
Eddie
And even if it's not real, to even think that that's possible, like, it makes us feel better.
Bobby Bones
So you're okay with lies? Yes, as long as it's a positive lie.
Eddie
It's like when you tell a story, like, sometimes it's not all accurate. You know, like, sometimes people tell stories, they add a little something to make it crazy or whatever, and it's like, who cares?
Amy
I know, but in this case, it was completely AI generated. A judge and an inmate. Right. Like, nothing about that was nothing about it was real.
Bobby Bones
What was weird about this story? I remember being confused and just torn because I thought it was that beagle story. And I thought, these people went in to save those beagles, they kidnapped them. And now they're making a story about the beagles returning home to the. The breeder. And I'm like, I'm confused on what I should have been rooting for.
Amy
What's funny is none of those dogs in that video are beagles. They're like all mutt.
Bobby Bones
I didn't pay much on a German
Amy
shepherd, apparently, but yeah, I said, what. What you're talking about. That was pretty crazy. I mean, that was like a very calculated, we're going to break in here, set all these beagles free. Crazy. And who. Poor little beagles. And they're being tested on. I was like, what?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
What are you doing?
Bobby Bones
We all think that. We feel that, but if we actually investigated all the stuff that we use as a test on.
Amy
I know, but I do try to check for the label cruelty free. You know, not tested on animals.
Bobby Bones
Maybe we should do on this show, what do we say, 100 human cruelty free.
Eddie
We're not cruel.
Amy
I know, I know. I think about that sometimes, too. Like, I look around my house and I'm like, how do I know how that piece of furniture was made?
Bobby Bones
It's like, if I watch those animal documentaries, I probably wouldn't eat as much meat.
Amy
Oh, yeah. Oh, I know. The cows.
Bobby Bones
But I stay away from them.
Amy
They're like, we slaughter them in a humane way. And I'm like, what? I don't want to think about it at all. I was talking about this with my friend Chase the other day because his family was.
Bobby Bones
Chase Rice, the one we went to dinner with?
Amy
No, but he was there too. Chase Locke. You know Chase.
Bobby Bones
But you're hanging out with Chase Rice the second time?
Amy
No, no, no. He is the same. It's Two chases. And he's the only reason why I was with Chase Rice, because they were together, so. But his family runs a beef. Like a cattle farm. Like, their license plates say beef. And he was talking about how. And I'm like, you build these relationships with cows and then y' all just slaughter them. And he was like, yeah, to eat.
Eddie
You have relationships with them? Like.
Amy
Like, I would.
Bobby Bones
Like, why would you. Relations.
Amy
No, no, no. Like, I would. I would be, like, looking at the cow. Like, I get it. It's.
Eddie
I wouldn't even talk to them.
Amy
I know it's the circle of life, blah, blah, blah. But they're just so cute. And, I mean, yes, I'll eat a burger. I. I like hamburgers. And yet, it also just feels so wrong.
Bobby Bones
Two things can be true, but I stay away from those documentaries because I like to enjoy meat. But I know if I watch them and learned of the real process, I would enjoy meat less and probably have less meat. And I don't want to because I'm selfish. I enjoy meat, so I stay away from the truth.
Eddie
You think if we had to slaughter our own animal, we would. Like, just for hunger?
Amy
Yes.
Eddie
We would get over that.
Amy
For survival? Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
For survival. Yes. We'd eat humans for survival.
Amy
No, that one. I can't.
Eddie
You.
Amy
Allison. No, no, because humans had to do.
Bobby Bones
Humans have had to do it for centuries.
Eddie
I know, but I don't know about that.
Amy
I just think for me, that is where, mentally, I don't know that I'm. My will to live is that strong.
Eddie
It is, because we have real relationships.
Amy
I feel like I would vomit.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And then you would eat a human, a dead human, before dying. I would bet the farm on that. The farm that I slaughter cows on.
Eddie
That same farm.
Amy
Like in Miracle in the Andes. Like, I would just be, like, praying, lord, take me in the next avalanche.
Bobby Bones
If you had.
Amy
No. Cause I don't.
Bobby Bones
If you had young kids you need to take care of, and you're their source, you wouldn't. You'd be like, I gotta get back to those kids. Take care of those kids any way possible. See that?
Eddie
That miracle in the Andes frustrates me. Cause, like, the second they walked, like, it's changed everything. Like, who told them to all stay there and eat each other?
Amy
Well, they didn't. What?
Bobby Bones
Imagine you're in a plane crash. I don't think there's a lot of rational thinking.
Eddie
Let's just walk.
Amy
Yeah, but they don't know if they walk.
Bobby Bones
They could have died.
Eddie
You're going to Die sitting there anyway. You eat each other.
Bobby Bones
You just can't eat the brain.
Amy
And they didn't to be. I mean, it's not like they murdered their friend to eat them. It was people that were. That died anyways.
Eddie
I will say that if I had
Bobby Bones
to eat you, I'd eat the hamstrings first. I'd eat the loin.
Amy
Well, I liked it when they put on the plane and let the sun cook it like jerky.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think you would be fine. I bet you you wouldn't even know it was human if you didn't know it was human.
Eddie
That'd be so sad if I had to eat you. Like, I'd probably cry while I was eating.
Bobby Bones
I would cry because you died. I would be thankful that I had some sustenance to get me through and that now you were in me and
Amy
you're part of you. We are one.
Eddie
Don't look at me when you.
Amy
We are one.
Bobby Bones
You're inside of me and I love you.
Eddie
This is so weird.
Amy
Very weird. How? How?
Eddie
Your dog's.
Bobby Bones
I think you would be able to eat a human. It's crazy, I know, but I've thought
Amy
about this a lot.
Bobby Bones
But you're thinking about it rationally right now. When hunger is kicking in, survival is kicking in nothing.
Amy
Yeah, but I've already told you, I
Bobby Bones
also think you can murder.
Amy
I.
Bobby Bones
Not in any situation.
Amy
Not to save my life.
Bobby Bones
If you're irrational, you can do things.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
You wouldn't do in your rational mind.
Amy
Yes, it could be rage.
Bobby Bones
It could be fear. It could be protection. I think you could murder.
Amy
Listen, quite honestly, I'm with you. I could murder.
Eddie
She's like, oh, I believe that.
Bobby Bones
Been there.
Amy
I could do.
Bobby Bones
Matter of fact, I have.
Amy
Like, no problem. I think that I could find the will inside of me to survive and do what I need to do for that. But eating someone, I just like my. I'm. Again, I'm not. I'm not that competitive. I'm sort of like, meh.
Eddie
Like, why wouldn't you just look for a beetle first?
Amy
You're in the snow. There's no beetle.
Bobby Bones
Nothing can live.
Eddie
I'm sure there's berries. There's some kind of.
Bobby Bones
Nothing's living because the temperature is so low. Yeah, nothing. You can eat rocks.
Amy
You're in a mountain with snow. What do you.
Eddie
There are birds that.
Bobby Bones
How are you gonna catch a bird?
Eddie
Slingshots.
Bobby Bones
How are you gonna make a slingshot? Also, you're injured because you were in a plane crash.
Amy
And also they first Ate what they had in their luggage and their bags and then stuff like that. So they. And they kept thinking, maybe we'll get rescued. And then slowly but surely, one by one, mostly the women started to die.
Eddie
The women died first. I don't remember that.
Amy
Yes. And I remember thinking, that tracks cuz I would die first. I think I really do. And maybe that's why I would. Cause my mentality is that. But I just really think. I just really think I would.
Bobby Bones
My mentality would be survive at all costs. Because this is for sure going to be a book I'm going to write and make a lot of money documentary off of this. I got to get out of this.
Amy
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Torture.
Bobby Bones
All right, there's Amy's story lunchbox. Your story? Yeah.
Lunchbox
The Gigalo Beach Killer, suspected killer, is expected to plead guilty to murdering seven sex workers. It's. This case has been going on for years. These women were turning up dead. And after 20 years, they figured out who it was, they charged him. And now that he is looking at a plea deal.
Bobby Bones
What's his name?
Amy
Gigolo Beach Killer.
Bobby Bones
The Gigolo Beach Killer.
Amy
The beach is called Gigolo beach, right?
Bobby Bones
I don't know, but it says sex worker, so I thought it was Gigolo.
Eddie
No, that would make sense.
Lunchbox
It is G I, L, G O. But I. I just read as Gigolo.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that I'm right because I don't see it.
Amy
I guess I thought it was like literally the name of the beach. It might be, but maybe you're right. It's. It's like a.
Bobby Bones
It's Gilgo. Oh, so we're. Oh, he. Oh, he was wrong in saying how he said Gilgo. The Gilgo Got it.
Eddie
So it's Gilgo Beach.
Amy
Gilgo Beach. And God, that's kind of crazy too. After that many years, they find him. Well, maybe one day we'll find Savannah Guthrie's mom's killer.
Eddie
Yeah. Oh, the killer.
Amy
This gives hope.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Remember that movie Tom Cruise where they would like, predict when people were gonna do stuff?
Eddie
Vanilla sky, maybe?
Lunchbox
No, it's Minority Report.
Bobby Bones
That's it.
Eddie
Okay. How did he know that?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I mean, the movie. I think I would have got there.
Eddie
Tom Cruise is in that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And they would go and arrest people, kick doors down because they. Based on what they.
Amy
I don't know if I saw it.
Bobby Bones
Predicted people would do.
Eddie
This is. This is different. It just reminded me of a TikTok video where this guy hires impersonators to come just.
Bobby Bones
I told you we talked about that.
Eddie
I saw one yesterday where he hired Tom Cruise to go in there.
Bobby Bones
A Tom Cruise impersonator?
Eddie
Yeah. And the guy's like, oh, what do you want me to do? Like you want me just do the greatest hits? Yeah, man. He's like, show me the money. The guy's just doing that in the living room.
Bobby Bones
He hires impersonators or clowns or comedians or he hires people to come and perform for him and the person thinks they're coming to a party and it's
Eddie
just him like, he's like, just do your thing.
Bobby Bones
There's a Mike Myers impersonator who showed up. So Austin Powers, I should say, he's Austin Powers. And he's like, you did the thing. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's like, oh, baby, yeah. And he looks at him like, he's like, yeah, just do the thing. I'm here.
Eddie
Tom Cruise was even jumping on his couch in the living room. Has nothing to do what you were talking about, but I thought it was funny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's good. What so lunchbox. What's so 20 years. They didn't. They didn't know who it was.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And then the cold case, it was reopened in 2023 and that's when they found the DNA through high tech DNA match like technology and he's married with
Amy
kids and oh my gosh, imagine finding out your dad is murdering sex workers.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Did he do it for 20 years or did he do it and then stop?
Lunchbox
I believe he did it and stopped.
Bobby Bones
So that was 20 years ago. He did a bunch and then hasn't that they know of since? Because I don't think a guy that does that more than once is probably doing it. We just haven't caught the other things he's been doing.
Amy
Right.
Lunchbox
It was between 93 and 2010 is when he committed the murders.
Bobby Bones
Wow, that was a. That's quite the span. Wow. Freaking 17 years. That's been years. He murders, then gets away with it. I just don't think a guy that kills for 17 years stopped from 2010 to 2026. Like all of a sudden you're like, I'm good, I'm full, I'm full. It's like dinner, I'm full. I'm not going to eat anymore. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And that's how the BTK killer got caught. He stopped for a long time, then was like, man, they're not giving me any love anymore. So then he came out of hiding.
Eddie
They crave the attention or Something the
Amy
news maybe about it.
Bobby Bones
It's weird, cuz btk this wasn't a big story though. It was a story, but I don't think it was a. Like a big famous story.
Eddie
Wouldn't BTK like write the news station?
Bobby Bones
BTK was different. His was for sure about the power of killing and also the notoriety he was getting from it like that. That to him is what felt good. Doing it and then being, I wouldn't say celebrated, but getting the notoriety from it. I don't. This isn't the same lunchbox.
Amy
Do you know what this guy's deal was like? Why was it. I mean, sex workers are already in a vulnerable situation anyways. So was it that or also was it like on top of it? He felt like he was doing some, like, you shouldn't be doing this job. You know how some sickos are like that. Like they're.
Lunchbox
They feel like, oh, like he's totally against.
Amy
Yeah, like I'm against this, but I. So I'm gonna.
Bobby Bones
Or it could just be a power thing where you can get them to a vulnerable place. They're already in a vulnerable job, but you can get them to a place. And then there are instances where people that are doing that don't have big support systems, so people don't even report they're gone.
Amy
Yeah, that's sad.
Bobby Bones
So you could, in theory, murder someone and it never even be known.
Eddie
No one will miss him.
Amy
That's sad.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that sucks. Eddie, you have a story.
Eddie
Yeah, I do. So do you know the. The start of Lion King? Whatever. So the guy that wrote that song, he wrote it and he says the translation is all hail the king. We all bow in the presence of the king. That's the translation of that lyric. Well, apparently there's a comedian who does a podcast who's been spreading rumors saying that. That's not what it says that it says, oh, hey, look, there's a lion. Oh my God. And so the author of the song, the creator, is like, I'm suing this guy for $20 million.
Bobby Bones
Well, the guy was up on stage, the podcast host, a comedian, doing his act, and they served him while he was on stage. And so they walked up and they're like, you've been served. And he's like, are you kidding me?
Amy
Yeah, it was a joke.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's it. And so other people have done a similar type of joke and he hasn't sued them. So I don't know what his beef is with this person. He's not going to win. Yeah, but yeah. No. Yeah, he got. He got served while on stage. I saw the pillow guy get served the other day.
Eddie
Who's the pillow guy?
Bobby Bones
Mike Lindell. He was doing an interview, and someone came up and served him about a lawsuit. And he's like. He's, like, pushing him away. Like that counts. Like, if you can't actually get to
Eddie
me, if you don't grab the paper.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And put it in my hand. She's like, you've been served.
Amy
But don't you have to. When you're being served, don't. Don't they have to say, like, bobby Bones. And you have to say, yes, and then they can give it to you?
Bobby Bones
Well, he was in the middle of an interview, so they knew it was him, like, with the tv. He's like, I'm on tv. I'm on tv. And he keeps shoving her away.
Amy
I only know this from tv, where I feel like you. They have to, like, answer the door and give your name, and then they give it to you. Like, as long as you don't acknowledge you are who you are, then they can't serve you.
Eddie
Talk about getting your day ruined.
Amy
Wait, but why did my pillow guy
Bobby Bones
get sued or a lawsuit? I'm not sure. I literally just saw the clip of him pushing her away. I've seen that comedian clip, too, where they serve him on stage, because I think he's at, like, the Laugh Factory or somewhere in Los Angeles. And they walk up to. If you're looking at the stage, the left side of the stage, and hand him the envelope, and he takes it, and he's like, I just been served. Mike Lindell did not take it. He just kept pushing that away.
Amy
Remember when we met him? When you were getting inducted?
Bobby Bones
Have you met Mike Lindell?
Amy
He's the Mypillow guy, right?
Bobby Bones
If we did, has Bobby met the celebrity? I would not know him.
Amy
Okay, so we were at your Radio hall of Fame induction in Chicago, and he was there at the. At the place with the guy with the mustache?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Why was he there?
Amy
Don't know. I met him.
Bobby Bones
Maybe he.
Amy
He was, like, at our table, guys. Well, you were there. I would assume it was a long table. I don't know why he was there.
Eddie
What's his name?
Bobby Bones
Mike Lindell. You'll recognize him because I remember being
Amy
like, you know, there's the Mypillow guy from the infomercials.
Bobby Bones
I think he's running for governor of Minnesota now.
Amy
Oh, interesting. I don't know. Maybe he was friends with another guy getting inducted.
Bobby Bones
Maybe. But Everybody else other than me, they're all like a hundred.
Amy
Yeah, well, he's older.
Eddie
He's older.
Bobby Bones
Like Jeremy Pivenold or.
Amy
No, I think he was older, but I mean, I feel like he dyes his hair and mustache.
Bobby Bones
That would do it then. Because it's dark.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
64. That's all.
Eddie
Wow. Four years older than Jeremy.
Bobby Bones
So he's Jeremy Piveno. He's not that old. I thought he was like eight.
Amy
Now everything's Jeremy Piven.
Bobby Bones
Well, I didn't expect Jeremy pimpin to be 60.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Amy
Me neither. I thought he was, but I feel like this guy looks older than Jeremy Fibon.
Eddie
He's got a mustache.
Amy
And Jeremy Piven definitely had 60.
Bobby Bones
Four is not old. Old. 80 is old.
Eddie
Old, yes.
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
70 is old. 80s. Old. Old.
Amy
I would think he was old. 70. Oldish.
Bobby Bones
I was looking at it yesterday because I'm, I'm aware that I am older to have children. It's 45 when Billy was born. So I'm very aware of that. As far as like, I'm conscious of it. It kind of makes me a little uncomfortable at times. I'm like, look at me, I got a newborn and I'm like, ah, with a walker. That's what it feels like. I see videos of like Larry David and his daughter and I'm like, how wonder their differences. Cuz Larry David's funny and Cassie David is very funny. She was with Pete Davidson for a while, but she's also an actress, like very funny. And he was 46 when she was born.
Eddie
Oh.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
And so that makes me feel pretty good. He's still kind of with it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
How old is he now? I don't know, because he. He's probably 70. 70s.
Eddie
He looks older, but I don't know. That's just the gray hair and he kind of.
Bobby Bones
He's older. For a long time he's been bald with those sides. 78.
Eddie
Oh, wow. He's older.
Bobby Bones
He's still on it for 78.
Amy
My dad was in his 40s when he had me.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Amy
But I was his fourth.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, you don't have to like, but. But you can just say that and I'd be like, oh, great.
Amy
I just thought of that. I hadn't thought of it.
Bobby Bones
Did you guys see how old the Howie Mandel is?
Eddie
Howie Mandel? I would put him at 70.
Bobby Bones
Oh. Why 70 if you're gonna go above that? I wouldn't have put him at 70.
Amy
Me neither. I was gonna say 59.
Eddie
Oh. Because of The Kelly Riffa thing?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's how I know his age.
Amy
Well, what happened?
Bobby Bones
They made a big deal about that. I didn't think it was that crazy.
Eddie
I think that's his shtick.
Bobby Bones
They were like, howie Mandel snaps at Kelly Ripa. And I was like, I'm in. They got me on the tease because you have to have a great tease now on clips or nobody stays. And so I was like, they got me, let me watch it. And she said, you look great or whatever. And he's like, oh, you think I look great because I'm 70? And she's like, but he was. It was shtick.
Eddie
It's his shtick. It's like when he came on our show and he, he heard somebody say something. Like, I asked him to turn the camera around. He's like, I heard you. I can't get the camera around. I'm not old. I'm not like, I know technology.
Bobby Bones
He was doing a.
Amy
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he's 70. Like he's with it. He is so, so 70. Okay. Nowadays, if you take care of yourself is dancing into getting old. 80s old. Now it also could be that we're getting older. So we see. We're playing the numbers game.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because 40 used to be old AF.
Eddie
Yes. That was an old person. But man, if you see kids now, like just driving, they look so little.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Like even in these basketball tournaments, you see like these kids playing basketball, like high school kids. I'm like, man, they looked like that
Bobby Bones
kid looks like he's 11.
Amy
Yeah. I was like, they're about to go off to college. Is that what we looked like? Cuz this seems irresponsible.
Eddie
And we tried to buy beer looking like that. It is.
Amy
I know, but I think, yeah, it's just our age.
Bobby Bones
But you see television, doctor or excuse me, Uncle Phil was younger than what Will Smith is now. Like, people just took care of themselves differently back then.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Also the Golden Girls, they were all like in their 40s and early 50s.
Amy
Oh, yeah. 45 now is not 45.
Bobby Bones
But only is it not 45. Because.
Amy
No, I do think things have changed and even for men. Like thinking of. I was thinking, Eddie, you know, we've talked about you going to Turkey to get a hair transplant, which I think you look great with a shaved head. It's fine.
Bobby Bones
You don't need to. But going to Turkey would be awesome.
Amy
But that would still be great. It's on the table. Oh, okay. Still kind of on the table. If you were to change your mind. But I'm Pretty sure Jeremy Piven had a hair transplant.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And that helps.
Bobby Bones
Seinfeld. Back in the day, he was bald.
Eddie
Definitely the front bald.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. He played George in the television show they were doing about Seinfeld. He was the character that they were casting as George.
Amy
Yeah. So that him being 60, that's also why it's shocking, because he's got a. Now he has a full head of hair.
Bobby Bones
The early maybe season one of the Office, Steve Carell was balding a bit.
Amy
Oh. Did he get a hairstyle?
Bobby Bones
It's thinner. I would think so if you look at season one of the Office and then season two, he comes back and it's just lush.
Amy
Yeah, Lush. And, yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of celebrities that have done it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Get it, Go for it. Let it rip, Chip. Sure. It's your body, it's your life.
Amy
Or go bald.
Bobby Bones
Do whatever you want.
Amy

Eddie
Do you know what I've gotten good at? Spying people that have the hair system.
Bobby Bones
Because you had one for a while.
Eddie
Yeah, I see it. I'm like, that's a hair system.
Bobby Bones
I am bad at that.
Amy
Yeah, I would be bad at that too.
Eddie
Like there was one, there was one person we had on our show a couple years ago and I told Mike, like, that's a hair system.
Amy
Really?
Eddie
Like, yeah.
Amy
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
You know what I'm good at spotting if somebody has one eye that is not opening as good as the other eye. Yeah.
Eddie
You're looking at it.
Amy
Is it getting.
Bobby Bones
It is getting a little better though.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Through the morning. It's still a little slothy, but it's better than it was this morning when we started.
Eddie
What's the cream?
Bobby Bones
Because it looked like she was winking at. She was holding a wink all morning like this.
Amy
Did you say what cream?
Eddie
Yeah. What, what's the cream?
Amy
Because dye. It's literally the brand is S T Y E. I. I went to Walgreens last night and bought it. Yeah. Well, I mean, I don't know if it works, but I was desperate.
Eddie
It's getting better.
Bobby Bones
It's getting a little better.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
It's probably also just because you kept it open.
Amy
Yeah. And I took some Aleve. I think any anti inflammatory. Like just. Yeah. And maybe just being more awake because I'm telling y', all, when I woke up this morning, I was like, yeah, it sucks. I think that Bobby would be like, yeah, get away. Like I would. I was going to have to wear sunglasses because I didn't. It's not pink eye, but obviously if it's pink, I would not come around to you because especially baby Billy.
Bobby Bones
But you started to feel it yesterday. Though on the show you said that like, I feel something growing in my eye.
Amy
Just. It was just like that.
Bobby Bones
It was like she was getting a boner in her eye. She just feel like getting bigger.
Eddie
You wouldn't understand, Amy.
Amy
Yeah, no, I understand, but that's just such a weird way to explain it.
Eddie
We see. We understood perfectly.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, you have a story.
Amy
Yes, I do.
Morgan
Did you guys see the video? It was of a Spring Breaker kid who was twerking on top of a Jeep.
Bobby Bones
I did not see that. One that missed my algorithm, thankfully. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
Well, it was going super viral and super sad ending to that story. That kid died from doing fall off the Jeep. Yes.
Amy
Was a Jeep driving? Yep.
Morgan
It was going very fast down the highway. The person who was driving was one of his friends, but got arrested for a dwi.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
They're like, it's forever.
Morgan
It was in Texas. In port. It's not Arkansas.
Bobby Bones
I know. Don't say. Let her try it. Go ahead.
Amy
What is it?
Eddie
We know it.
Morgan
Aransas. Wait, hold on. Is it Kansas? You have Kansas and then you have Arkansas. So is it Aronisas or is it Aransas?
Bobby Bones
That's it.
Eddie
We just called it Port A.
Amy
Port A. Yeah.
Eddie
Because we probably all had problems with it too.
Amy
No, we didn't say Porter was like the cool like, hey, I'm going to
Bobby Bones
Port A. I never called it. I was not there. I was only Austin.
Amy
Well, you didn't probably spring break.
Bobby Bones
I didn't. Well, I didn't go to Puerto Ricans.
Amy
We were in college. Port A.
Eddie
My bachelor. Well, South Padre Island College. But my bachelor party was important.
Bobby Bones
Dang. Dang.
Amy
Dang. It depends.
Bobby Bones
Dang.
Eddie
I never heard of spring break at poor day.
Amy
Yeah. But yes, of course. My sister's in South Padre island for spring break right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Padre. We call it Padre.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you call it Padre. We just got.
Eddie
Hold on, hold on. Your sisters at South Padre?
Amy
Yeah, they take their kids to Padre. Her in laws have a place there. So they go every spring break. That's where they go. Because escape Colorado and go to the
Eddie
beach with all the kids. Like, because it's crazy down there. Spring break.
Amy
Yes, they go every year. It's wow. It's a thing. But they're more in a quieter side of the beach because you go down more and it's not as crazy. Maybe because I was in College Station in like Port It. I don't know. Yeah, people did. Poor day.
Bobby Bones
That story sucks. Also, back in the day, in the 80s, there was a movie called Teen Wolf. And he would get on top of the van and surf.
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
And so people would do that because of the movie. And people died doing that. But that was a movie romanticizing car surfing and how cool it was. This is a drunk person, but also trying to get TikTok clout, I would assume, right?
Amy
Well, if they have video, did they
Bobby Bones
fall off on TikTok? Did it show that?
Morgan
I never saw that part of the video. I'm assuming people, if they got it, they cut it out. I just saw him, like, twerking on top of the Jeep and then. Yeah, there's. There were witnesses, obviously, of him falling off. He had a. He suffered a catastrophic head injury.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they got in a wreck.
Morgan
Yeah. Because they hit a test.
Lunchbox
He had a car.
Eddie
How fast?
Bobby Bones
Oh, they got in a wreck.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
You said he was going fast, but do you know how fast?
Morgan
No, they didn't say how fast. They just said incredibly fast. And then the driver got arrested for Jesus.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Eddie
My parents used to, like, I always wanted to go to spring break, like my junior year in high school, senior year in high school. My parents were always against it. And now I kind of understand. But, like.
Bobby Bones
But that's not going to spring break. That's making a really bad decision while it's spring break. I feel like you could make that same bad decision if you're drunk on a Friday night somewhere.
Eddie
Yeah, but spring break, I mean, lots of bad decisions during spring break.
Amy
Just since Eddie was hating on me for poor day. Like, poor day. Okay, so from college station to poor day, it's like four hours. But to South Padre, it's over six and a half hours. So that's probably why. Okay, I was just clarifying.
Bobby Bones
I don't even know what you guys are fighting about.
Eddie
It wasn't a fight.
Amy
Cause he. Because I said college four day, and he was like, college. College was South Padre. We're mature now.
Eddie
That's where it was.
Amy
That's where it's at.
Bobby Bones
Let's do some voicemails here. Give me voicemail number one. Ray, I noticed on your Instagram post of Billie, you're making sure to not show her face. Like, what is the strategy game plan, like, duration of which you're going to do that for? Is that a forever thing? I'm a dad of two. I show my kids faces. I know it's just personal opinion, but was curious kind of what your thoughts are there. Anyway, love the show. There really is no strategy right now. My wife's like, I prefer not to put her face on the Internet. I was like, great. But also, if you're not a public figure, it's different. If you're public figure, everything's elevated. Meaning I do anything and people are so nasty to me on the Internet. Even if I don't do anything that is opinion based that elicits a nasty response. People are very, very awful to me. And a little bit, sadly, I've learned to deal with that. My wife does not chase social media clout at all. She does not care. She's barely on social media herself. And so she won't get the benefit of people going, oh, and then liking all the pictures of it. So why would she want to deal with. If someone says something bad about our baby, her getting pissed off. So she's like, it's not worth it to me. So mostly that's it. There is no strategy or game plan or duration. She's like, I'd rather not put her up there right now. And I'm like, cool, you're the boss on this. Because it'd be different if it was just me. It'd all be up there. But I completely respect and understand what she's saying too. So there is no strategy or game plan or duration. And also if you're a public figure, there's just a level of scrutiny that comes to you that's unbelievable unless you're in it. So I understand you put your kids faces out there. It's just different though. You don't have people commenting on everything that you do all the time on Facebook, on every message board. So it's just not worth it to my wife. That's why I don't know that it'll be a forever thing. Could be a forever thing. But we haven't even talked about it like that. She's just like, I'd rather not put her face up now. And I'm like, cool, all good. That's it. I explained that properly.
Eddie
Well said.
Bobby Bones
Let's go to the. Give me the number four, Ray. Good morning, Studio Bobby. If you could please remind everyone. Or I'd like to know when lunchbox will be on the prices. Right. So I can be sure to tape it. Thank you and have a great day. Look at my calendar here. Today's the 27th, so I think your first opportunity is Tuesday, the 31st lunchbox. Is that right?
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's right. And I mean on it is. I mean, I don't know what she means by on it, but you're gonna see me in the crowd because Carol in front of me gets on stage. So you're gonna see me. I'm gonna be on it.
Bobby Bones
Outside shot, though. He makes it. I think he gets down to the bottom row.
Eddie
I mean, the fact that now he's just kind of like. Let me clarify on it. Maybe now he's trying to.
Bobby Bones
He's acting weird.
Eddie
He is acting weird.
Amy
Carol isn't.
Eddie
You know, I never heard about Carol in front of him. Getting.
Amy
It's a new detail.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that I didn't hear this. I don't think I remember that. But the 31st, which is Tuesday, and then Thursday, the second will be the two days that he is supposedly in the crowd. But I do think there is an outside shot that he actually made it onto the row. What do they call that lunchbox?
Amy
Contestant row.
Bobby Bones
That's it. Contestant row. Oh, he act like he doesn't know, guys. And he's the expert.
Lunchbox
I'm like, I don't know that it has a official name.
Bobby Bones
It does. Contestant row. Yeah, that's it.
Lunchbox
Okay. I didn't know that's what it was called.
Eddie
Come on down.
Amy
Be casual.
Bobby Bones
He's like. I'm like, let's talk. What's the show called?
Lunchbox
Ah, I didn't have an official title of the show. Here we go.
Bobby Bones
All right, so that's Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Hit me with that number six. Ray, don't say it on the show, but NLR is obviously means no lie. Really? Come on. That one's pretty obvious. Later, guys. I can tell you unequivocally that is false.
Amy
Yeah, I've thought it was no lie, really for a long time, but it's not.
Bobby Bones
That is absolutely false. We do a bit on the Bobbycast, which today there's an episode with Chris Robinson up from the Black Crows, and I do ask him. I'm like, hey, dude, when you guys were killing it, because he. They were big. When you guys were killing it, There was also counting crows. There was Sheryl Crow. Like, you kind of had to be annoyed with all the crows, right? But I do this thing with every guest. I try to predict the three questions that are asked the most. It does two things for me. It allows me to ask that question again, but without being the cliche interviewer that asks them the same question everybody else asks. So that's one of the tricks that I incorporate to get answers from people that I know they're tired of talking about. And I can go, all right, let me predict three questions that you get asked the most. Number one, what's your inspiration? That wouldn't be one. But they'd be like, oh, yeah, that is one. And I'm like, well, what do you say to that? And they kind of think you're cooler because you asked them to.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I do that. Another thing that I'll do, if I'm asking a really. I would say a question that I want them to think about and expand on, I will go, I'm gonna ask you this question, blah, blah, blah question. I say, I know this is a hard one. So I'm gonna give you what I think the answer is first. And I'm not doing it so I can hear myself talk. I'm doing it to actually give them a second to think about their answer instead of having to react to an answer. But I do the three questions thing, and I try to predict the questions, but I have the questions. Mike found this. The questions that people Google about me. Can you predict the top three questions?
Amy
Amy, this is Bobby Bones married or what's his wife? Who's his wife? Something like. Something about your marriage?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, one of them. How did Bobby Bones meet his wife? Okay, I can answer that. When I was on American Idol, the person that did PR for American Idol that I was with a lot was from Oklahoma, and she went to college with Caitlin. Oh, I didn't know this at the time. When I went to Dancing with the Stars, that same PR person came and worked on Dancing with the Stars. Caitlin came with her friend from college to a live event because they needed table fillers, and she called her as a friend, hey, can you come fill the table? So Caitlin came as a table filler while she was in grad school out there. And I was saying hi to my friend from PR that was from Oklahoma, and she had her friend from college with her, who was Caitlin. That's how we met. So that's how I met my wife. Okay, you wanna take another one? Another guess?
Amy
What is Bobby's Bones net worth?
Bobby Bones
No, not on there.
Eddie
Not on there.
Amy
Really interesting, Eddie.
Eddie
I've Googled that before.
Bobby Bones
Internet's never right.
Amy
Eddie's, like, weird. I Google that every week.
Bobby Bones
He tries to Google it so much.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
How did Bobby Bones win Dancing with
Bobby Bones
the Stars number two? Yep. How did. It's literally how. There's really not.
Eddie
How is that possible?
Bobby Bones
I know. So that's number two. And there's one question above all.
Eddie
Oh, you didn't want to answer that one?
Amy
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
Tried real hard. Had a. A great group of listeners that voted with me, and then that with the people that just, like, Connected with my story. That's how. But tried hard. Yeah.
Amy
Number one, we haven't said it yet. Oh, is it new? Is it about your baby? No. Number one. Oh.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Amy
Why did Bobby get sued for a million dollars?
Bobby Bones
That's number one. Why did Bobby Bones get fined $1 million?
Eddie
That's a good one.
Bobby Bones
That is actually it. And that was. I grabbed a clip from the Internet and played the clip, and it shut down radio stations all over America.
Eddie
And because of that, we all have to take a class once a year on that clip.
Amy
Not just us. Like, everybody.
Bobby Bones
Everybody in the entire company has to take. Yeah. And it's a little more detailed than that, but that's what happened. I didn't do anything wrong. But yeah, yeah, it sucked. So that's one. Dates us two. Meet his wife, 30. Number four. I don't mind it. But it. It's also insulting at the same time.
Amy
Oh, how tall is Bobby? Is.
Bobby Bones
No. Why is Bobby Bones so famous? So there's both an insult and a compliment there. Interesting one that per these people who are googling it thinks I'm famous. Yes. Why am I think I'm famous, But it's also like, he's famous, but why you insulted and compliment me at the same time? I used to have a joke that I would do when I was doing stand up. It was like, when I first got married to Caitlin, people would be like, oh, she's a gold digger. And I was like, I had never been so complimented that you have money. That I have. Yes. It wasn't so much about her. Yes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I would be like. People would get on the Internet and say things about my wife. They'd be like, you know, she's a gold digger. And I'd never been complimented so much because that's awesome. And so. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Let's see the other two. What is Bob's real name? And then was Bobby Bones in O town. My real name thing is not hard to find anymore because my wife refuses to go buy bones. She.
Amy
Well, it was never. What do you mean, she? Hold on, Clarify. Because did she have to refuse? Because, like, would you ever even put that on the table for her?
Bobby Bones
No, never.
Amy
But she, like, she's not refusing to,
Bobby Bones
but people would call her, like, Kaitlin Bones, or she's like, that's not my name.
Amy
Right, right, right, right, right. But I'm just clarifying. It was never like, hey, will you. And she.
Eddie
I really want you to go by Caitlin Bones. That'd be weird.
Bobby Bones
True.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah. So. And then Was I in O town? Of course I was in O town, but it was way early. It was so early. It was really good to see the guys though. At the last million dollar show, we all performed together.
Eddie
Ryman at the Ryman Special night.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so there's that. It turns out letting a grudge go does the body good. A new study shows that dropping grudges and choosing to forgive can actually boost your overall well being. That's from vice.com researchers looked at something called dispositional forgiveness, which is basically how naturally inclined someone is to forgive across different situations. The more forgiving people are also likely to feel optimistic and purposeful. Hey, speaking of this, there's two things that I do that this is not connected at all. One is I was with my therapist and he said, hey, you've tried meditation and you probably haven't tried it hard enough because it's not working. And I would agree with that. Like, I've tried it, but I really haven't dedicated myself to do it to a level that I'm getting anything from it. And that's probably on me because I haven't put in the effort. I don't think it doesn't work. It's worked for centuries for people and for me to go like, it doesn't work on me, it just means I'm not trying hard enough at it. That being said, he's like, how do I. What if you do an abbreviated meditation where you just let go of everything that you're upset about and people you're upset just for three minutes, you have a meditation where you release all grudges. He's like, I think if you do this enough, you'll start to actually realize how important it is to not have these negative connections to things and people.
Amy
Well. Cause to clarify, would you say you are one to hold grudges?
Bobby Bones
I would say I'm one to not forget.
Amy
Isn't that.
Bobby Bones
No, because holding a grudge, clarifying, holding a grudge would mean that I constantly root for bad things to happen or I possibly could affect bad things happening to people. Oh, I don't do that. But I for. I don't forget. And so I just don't have anything to do with them anymore.
Amy
Got it?
Bobby Bones
But holding a grudge, no, I have a couple. But I would say my thing is I just completely disassociate, disconnect from them in every way possible. But, like, I don't root for bad stuff to happen for them. I think holding a grudge is that.
Amy
Okay, that's good. Clarification because I guess people probably look at it differently. I get that.
Bobby Bones
So that is something that I've been trying. It feels pretty good.
Amy
So for three, do you set a timer?
Eddie
Three minutes, and then after three, you're just like, I'm back.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, everybody again, I set a timer. No, I just kind of.
Amy
But like, when.
Bobby Bones
Eyeball it.
Amy
Okay, well, during your session, do you. Are you picturing, like, specific people and, like, letting them go?
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't do it during my therapist.
Amy
During your meditation, during your three minutes, like, you have. For a second, you picture specific people and like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I don't know that it's worked or if having a child has helped, but I had a big grudge toward Matt Jones, Kentucky Sports Radio. And Matt was a friend for a long time. And I feel like Matt did a couple things that really pissed me off. And I was like, I'm out on this dude. Like, I respect him and what he's built has been. Is fantastic. So everything about him except for a couple things that I feel like he's done. So I had a grudge. And he went to Eddie at the super bowl and was like, hey, man, like, we told Bobby not to hate me.
Eddie
Yeah, we talked to Bobby.
Amy
You had a grudge or you had a. I think.
Bobby Bones
No, I wasn't rooting for bad stuff, but I was like, I got nothing to do with that. Right. That being said, people were going at him pretty hard, I think. I think unfairly on Twitter. And I posted, I was like, you guys are the Kentucky fan bases eating each other because they had a really bad season. And I was. And they were going after Matt. And I was like, you guys are out of your mind. So I reposted something and I was like, you guys are like, killing your own. Nobody has been more dedicated to Kentucky Sports. Nobody's been more. And I posted this thing in favor of Matt, and so I posted it. Matt texted me. He was like, man, I really appreciate you posting that. I was like, dude, you didn't deserve that. Like, you deserve what I'm giving you, but you didn't deserve that. And he was like, you know, it'd be cool if we could, like, you know, be friends again. And so I hearted it. Where in the past, I just would have ignored it.
Eddie
Oh, you just.
Bobby Bones
And I wouldn't have written. I wouldn't have written that. I wouldn't defended him because I don't
Eddie
respond anything to that. You just hearted it.
Bobby Bones
No, but that's a response.
Amy
So what do you say? You mentioned something A second ago. You don't know if it's the. I don't know if it's becoming a dad.
Bobby Bones
It could be either more than three
Amy
minutes, like something softening you, something.
Bobby Bones
It could be the work that I've put in at going, it's not worth it to me to hold on to these things if it is detrimental to what I'm doing. Or it could be that I had a child and I'm like, nah, who cares? Everything else kind of secondary.
Eddie
So are you guys back?
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. But we're back to the point where he has texted me a couple of times. I just ignored them completely.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
In the past. No, it's not okay. Because that was the old.
Eddie
Because I. I prayed for that.
Amy
Oh, that was the old.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that was the old. The new is I. I. He didn't need me to defend him, by the way. He didn't need it. So I didn't do a great service to him. But I felt like he was being unfairly criticized because he is like, Mr. Kentucky. Nobody loves that team more than him. And they were going after. And like, Boogie Cousins was going after him. Boogie Cousins, an idiot. He was a great basketball player, but an idiot.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
And he was like, people don't listen to Matt Jones. And I was like, dude, because you're good at basketball doesn't mean you're good at understanding everything happening inside of a program. It's like Michael Jordan because he played basketball as a great owner.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
He kind of sucked at being an owner. So anyway, I defended Matt Jones. He didn't need me defending him. I don't deserve a medal for it, but I did. I don't. I didn't hold on to that. I just felt somebody.
Amy
That's great.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then he text me, and I text him back.
Eddie
I like it.
Bobby Bones
And then I hearted it. I'm good for now. Like, I'm all caught up.
Eddie
Baby steps.
Bobby Bones
But I don't. I'm not a. I don't think I'm a grudge holder. See, with that, I think I would have also piled on if I was a grudge holder.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And been like, hashtag justice for Boogie for no reason. Just like that. Jones sucks.
Amy
That's good.
Bobby Bones
So. Yeah. But I don't know what. It could be both, actually.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It could be the fact that I've been working on it. There are some people those.
Eddie
Screw them, like, forever and ever.
Amy
Well, I'll keep meditating.
Eddie
Yeah. Put them in the three minutes.
Amy
Put them in.
Bobby Bones
True. I put them in the three minutes. I like, it's like the prayer list at church.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I got a list of grudges that I go to. I'm like, all right, what are you doing this weekend?
Amy
Well, oh, tomorrow I am doing a colon cancer awareness walk with my ex boyfriend's fam. Like, my son and I are going just to support. I mean, I was already going when we were dating, so obviously I was even helped. Like, I helped design the T shirt whenever.
Bobby Bones
Breaking up doesn't mean you broke up with colon cancer research.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
Thank goodness.
Amy
And so Stevenson and I will go to that.
Bobby Bones
You mean your mom?
Amy
Yeah. No, I mean, it's. Yeah. And yes, his wife died from colon cancer at a very young age, so they're very passionate about raising funds for research and awareness for people just to go get a colonoscopy because she died way too young. Like, and it could have been. The thing is, if you catch it early, it's preventable. But doctors, they were like, oh, I think you're very active. You have a lot. You have three kids. It's probably hemorrhoids.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Really?
Amy
Yeah. And so there's just things that got missed. And then by the time they found was a little too late. And she suffered for two years and then died at 44, which is way too young. So I think, as a family, him and his kids, it's a goal to, with the Colon Cancer Coalition, have this walk. It's a walk she put together while she was. During her cancer journey. Before she died, she. Nashville, did not have a walk, and she brought it here.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Amy
And so she was the first one to do that. And so they've continued it on since she passed away, so that's. I felt like I'm not gonna not go to that. Like, that seems so. Stevenson and I will do that tomorrow. And then other than that, that's it. I think I'm resting my eyeball.
Bobby Bones
You know, your wife's coming to my house today.
Eddie
Yeah. How do you know that? Like, I don't even know what she's doing. Like, you know everything.
Bobby Bones
No, my wife told me your wife was coming. She said, eddie's wife's coming over today. See the baby. She didn't call her Eddie's wife. She actually was friends with her name.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I said, oh, yeah, that's cool. And she said, is Eddie still gonna be here? And I said, no, we're gonna wrap before that. And I have some other stuff I have to do, so Eddie probably won't be here.
Eddie
That's What? I told my wife too, because she's like, are you gonna be there? I'm like, probably not if we finish early. Like, I'm not staying.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
For you to come see the baby. I've met the baby.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Twice.
Eddie
Twice.
Bobby Bones
What's. What's up this weekend?
Eddie
Sports. Baseball starts this weekend, and then we got a basketball tournament, but pretty sure I think we're done with all the basketball stuff by like five o' clock on Saturday, so we'll have a night to watch, you know, some March Madness. And I'm out.
Amy
What do you mean you're out?
Eddie
Oh, you're not watching basketball anymore?
Amy
Oh, cuz. Arkansas.
Eddie
What about all. Oh, and you lost.
Bobby Bones
I lost all my teams too, last night.
Eddie
You lost your Calcutta team?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I lost everything. Oh, I'm broke. I've lost it all.
Amy
The show Morgan recommended this week, the Madison. I started that. It's good. It is, Yeah. A little slow at times, but also, I think that's the point. It's like, you're like, taking in some of the scenery and the fly fishing and the mountains.
Eddie
I kind of want to start the Mandalorian just because the movie's coming out. So I kind of want.
Bobby Bones
You'll like it. I never watch Mandalorian, but I never like Star Wars.
Eddie
I know you're so against that.
Bobby Bones
I'm not. No, no, no, no, I'm not. I.
Amy
He's not against it.
Bobby Bones
I'm not against Star Wars. There's much. There's so much.
Eddie
Let's start with the movies. Watch the movies.
Bobby Bones
No, that's the point. I don't say. Start with the Mandalorian. You don't need to know all the Star wars stuff.
Eddie
Really?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's the only reason I haven't jumped in, because I think it would interest me. But there's. I'm so far behind. It's like, why would I start.
Eddie
There's a lot of Star Wars.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I can't keep up. So. Lunchbox weekend.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I'm gonna be praying for you and Matt Jones, just like Eddie's been doing. I mean, you guys passed that over like Eddie.
Bobby Bones
What.
Amy
What do you mean?
Lunchbox
You were praying for them.
Eddie
So. So when we were at the Super Bowl, Matt came to me and was like, hey, man, will you do me a favor and just kind of like, talk to Bobby? Like, we're just not, you know, something happened with our friendship or whatever, and I said, cool. So I told Bobby, but every night sounds stupid, and I know this is why he's bringing it up, but Every night I have a list of things to pray for. And that night I prayed. Like, I just.
Bobby Bones
Why is that stupid? That's not stupid at all.
Eddie
Well, because he's trying to.
Lunchbox
Praying about your relationships.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, why not a friendship that was once a friendship?
Bobby Bones
Why do you care what he about? Why does it bother you what somebody else prays?
Lunchbox
I mean, that is just very weird. I have never prayed that two people. I have no. Like, Eddie doesn't know Matt Jones in Friends.
Eddie
I do know Matt Jones very well.
Amy
It was kind of. Eddie was like, I prayed for that.
Eddie
I did. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I'm like.
Eddie
And I've never said that. So for him to say, like, yeah, we had this thing was really cool. To be like, this is awesome.
Amy
But I get Eddie Lunchbox. Think about it. Matt came up to Eddie at the super bowl and said, hey. So it would make sense that Eddie would be like, oh, man, this sucks. Like, yeah, I hope that there's some restoration here in some way like that.
Lunchbox
If anybody ever came up to me and said, hey, can you get like, I want to get back in Bobby's good graces. I'm going to go home. I'm going to go. Never going to go home and pray about it.
Eddie
But you're not me, though. And here's another thing. What does this have to do with your weekend?
Bobby Bones
He didn't have anything. Nothing.
Lunchbox
I. I just thought it was funny how no one said anything about Eddie praying for that.
Bobby Bones
Cuz nobody thought it was that weird.
Eddie
Yeah, it's not weird, dude.
Lunchbox
So, Amy, do you ever pray about other people's friendships?
Amy
Depending if I was in a situation where maybe someone came up to me and said something and then I knew, like, my friend,
Lunchbox
she has no. She's saying no. She's trying to stumble her words.
Amy
No, I was trying to not use the word grudge because Bobby has said it's not necessarily a grudge. But if I knew my friend was like, oh, now this person's out. And now I'm in this awkward situation, I'm like, oh, that would be really cool. Like, maybe things could soften here between these two people. I. I could see myself saying a prayer for that.
Bobby Bones
But also, why are we being judgmental about what people pray for? No idea at all.
Eddie
No idea.
Bobby Bones
1%.
Amy
Yeah. I don't know.
Eddie
Lunchbox, you want to answer that?
Lunchbox
Yeah, because it was hilarious. It was just another. I mean, oh my God, I'm back. Like, let me suck up to Bobby and say, I'm praying for you.
Eddie
How would that be? Sucking up to Bobby. I wasn't praying for Bobby. I was praying for their relationship.
Lunchbox
But that's praying for Bobby. Like, Bobby's not praying about it, but you're praying about it.
Eddie
Okay. And sometimes so concerned about it.
Amy
Would pray about, I'm with you. Like, when I first heard it, I was like, oh, that's funny, Eddie. But then now that I.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Amy
No, but then, now that I just said, when I'm thinking about it, Eddie was caught in the middle of him coming up to him.
Bobby Bones
It's not like Bobby wasn't me just telling a story. But even then, I'm not going to judge what he prays for. And I.
Eddie
And I did too, when that happened was like, I don't know what to do. Like, do I tell Bobby? That's Matt told me that. Kind of a weird thing. So like, I just felt like. I don't know, just felt like doing it. And it wasn't long. I didn't pray for 10 hours about it.
Amy
Yeah, it's just like a short. It can just be.
Bobby Bones
But also, it doesn't matter what it is. Why would you judge somebody for what they pray for?
Eddie
Weird.
Lunchbox
I mean, I. I just felt like, because it's hilarious.
Bobby Bones
I got nothing else, so I'm gonna do that.
Amy
I think at first it was sort of like, wait, is that even for real?
Eddie
No, it's being serious.
Amy
Yeah, you are. And now that I know you are, it's like, okay.
Eddie
And sometimes I pray for stuff and it's like I don't even check up on it. Like, I don't know if anything ever happened with that. And the fact that he was bringing that up, like, wow, I hadn't thought about that since.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it triggered.
Eddie
When was the Super Bowl? I mean, that was a long time ago.
Bobby Bones
February month.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
When?
Eddie
Yeah. So when you said that, I was like, that's crazy because I remember praying about that.
Bobby Bones
Also, he didn't say does it every night. He like, did it one night. Yes. Me again. Just checking up on Matt and Bobby's relationship.
Amy
Dear baby Jesus said it.
Lunchbox
The way he said it, it made it sound like it was an ongoing prayer. My prayer. I pray about
Amy
the way he said it. It was almost like I couldn't tell if he's being sarcastic or not.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. Cuz he said, I've been praying.
Bobby Bones
She's not agreeing with you.
Lunchbox
No, she is. No, no, I've been.
Amy
I'm literally not agreeing with you.
Eddie
Lunchbox. You want to hear something crazy? I. I've prayed about. I've prayed for you before.
Bobby Bones
No way.
Lunchbox
I don't know why you haven't prayed about me talking to another friend which was.
Amy
Was it the.
Eddie
I have actually. No, no. Some between us.
Bobby Bones
Oh yeah.
Eddie
Yeah. I prayed. I pray for that some between me.
Bobby Bones
Didn't he have a pink eye too?
Amy
Oh, I will you pray for my
Eddie
