Bobby Bones
The Bobby Bone show let's do a couple voicemails. This is from Nicole.
Nicole
I have a tip for Morgan. My husband also suffers from vertigo and when he gets slightly dizzy, he takes a pinch of cream of tartar and puts it under his tongue. Cream of tartar is just a spice you can buy in the store. It's a regular spice you cook with. Might taste a little yucky, but it does get rid of his dizziness really, really fast. And oh, 38 seconds. Is that good enough for you? Scuba Steve later.
Bobby Bones
Hilarious. She's also referencing Scuba Steve saying don't leave a three minute voicemail. She's timing it, which is also funny. But then also Morgan, she talks about something called cream of tartar. That's not tartar sauce.
Morgan
No, I've never heard of that before.
Bobby Bones
Worst condiment ever. By the way, if we're listing worst condiments. Tartar sauce, very bottom worst condiment. Cream of tartar. You haven't used that?
Morgan
No, I've never even heard of this.
Bobby Bones
I'm looking at it here.
Amy
Yeah, I've only seen it. It's like a powder.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, it's a spice.
Bobby Bones
Ah. Potassium betarterate. Known as potassium hydrogen tartrate. And then they give the formula, which matters none to me. But it is cream of tartar. I've not heard of that. Will you look, Mike, what its general.
Scuba Steve
Use is doesn't sound very natural.
Bobby Bones
It is because it's like beaten egg whites. And just because something and it couldn't. Right. You're absolutely right.
Scuba Steve
Whenever there's a hydro in it.
Bobby Bones
But you're talking about elements in the periodic table. Nothing's more natural than that. I don't know what chemicals are putting in. But because something says that doesn't mean it automatically is bad.
Scuba Steve
Right?
Bobby Bones
Okay, it could be. Cream of tartar has many uses. Baking, stabilizing, whipped cream, cleaning. It's a flavor enhancer. It helps to give desserts their rise and Prevent them from deflating. Are there a lot of chemicals in cream of tartar? Because Eddie might be onto something, but no.
Amy
Okay, think like, meringue. Meringue pies that you get the meringue. Cream of tartar helps you get the fluffiness.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
I wonder why it takes away dizziness, though. Like, what about.
Bobby Bones
Could also be, like, a meemaw's old remedy that really didn't matter but was a, you know, something that people believe, so it worked.
Morgan
You know what I did learn? Like, speaking of dizziness.
Bobby Bones
You're right, though, Morgan. There's no strong scientific evidence to support the claim. And using it for dizziness is not recommended without consulting a doctor first. Doesn't mean it doesn't work, but, yes, go ahead. I'm sorry.
Morgan
It could be, like, a home remedy. So when I got super nauseous when they were doing the treatments, they put an alcohol swab right in front of my nose, and that stops, like, dizziness, nausea, almost right away. Never knew that. Like, straight alcohol swab.
Bobby Bones
Is that real?
Morgan
Yes. And, like, it's. This was a nurse doing this. This wasn't like a. She literally was like, pull out the alcohol swab. They pulled it up and all of my. Like, because I was about to vomit, put it up against my nose, which they kind of had to shut up, shove it up there since I can't smell.
Bobby Bones
Well, let's take a Google on that one and see if that's one of the old meemaw tales.
Amy
It's a natural ingredient.
Scuba Steve
What, cream of tartar?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So my only point was not knowing if I was right or wrong, because things say stuff like hydrate, hydra, Hydration. A lot of those. Well, some of them are chemicals, but some of them are actually periodic table elements that are fundamentally what everything is made by alcohol. Well, if you do alcohol for dizziness, they're gonna say, don't drink.
Scuba Steve
Oh, yeah, that'll make you dizzy.
Bobby Bones
You'll be dizzy. Four shots of tequila, you'll be dizzy. But it worked for you?
Morgan
Yeah. Like, it was like, you know how you get those alcohol wipes that you'd use just so clean something off? That's what they put right in front of my nose. And she just held it there, and it stopped me from vomiting throughout the whole process.
Bobby Bones
While some anecdotal evidence suggests that smelling rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol may provide temporary relief from dizziness, there is no scientific consensus to support this claim. Doesn't mean it doesn't work. Just means they haven't tested it enough. To go. We think we know this is what this does to most people, but that's good to know for people that are struggling with it. Yeah.
Morgan
At least quick remedy. Like I said, it doesn't fix your vertigo. The vertigo is not going to go away, but it'll at least help the nausea in the moment.
Bobby Bones
Beth from Missouri is voicemail 4.
Beth
Morning studio. I was just calling to say thanks for keeping me company. Every morning I listen to you all live while I'm doing my early morning running, and it feels like I have friends running with me every morning. And then I listen to the Part 3 podcast later on in the day when I'm walking my dog. So I just wanted to say thanks for what you do and for keeping me company.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. I appreciate that. This is a part three of the podcast, by the way, for those keeping score at home, which I'm sure you do. When I say voicemail four, it's four on my list. So Ray knows that wasn't the fourth voicemail we played because someone will go, you said voicemail seven. Did what? You take away the other six? No, no, no. It was just. It was the seven on the sheet. Okay, I got some stuff. Do you want to know the Epstein stuff from yesterday?
Amy
Yep.
Bobby Bones
So they kept saying epstein files are gonna be released. I haven't said it on the show, and I said, I'm ready for it. Let's throw some people in jail. Let's know what's up. I don't want it to be partisan. I don't want any redaction. If you're gonna say your full transparency, be full transparency. Because if any of those things don't add up, it's not full transparency. That's why I said, I still believe it. So yesterday, maybe around noon, 1:00, and this is when I knew it was all gonna be a joke. Is all of these social media influencers were the ones that got to go on and get this binder that said phase one of Epstein files, and they're all, like, smiling, holding up their binders. So they released it to, like, influencers that have big followings. I'm like, this is total bullcrap. I don't even care what's in the folder, because why would you release it to social media influencers and not to whomever is substantial in the government? And then it's released to America. So. But then the more I read and the more I read, there were people on both sides pissed that they did this. What was weird, too, is all these influencers, they have, like a folder that says Epstein Phase one. And this is like one of the most heinous, awful things ever. And they're just smiling so big. They're like, look what we got. This is like a gift. It made it feel fake. It did. I was like, why do they have that binder that looks like a cheap binder? They were just giggling and smiling like, look, we're in the wide. So I figured then this was not gonna be what we were led to believe. So I can read you some of the story and I'm gonna read this one from the independent. Attorney General Pam Bondi released more than a hundred pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Almost all the information was publicly available already. So that's what they released as part of President Donald Trump's executive order demanding the government make documents related to the cases of national interest. Bondi said Wednesday she would release a lot of information. And that's what happened. As in Thursday, all the social media influencers got something in this big fat binder. The latest installment of the Epstein files included flight logs, a redacted contact book and evidence list made up of part of the investigation. Epstein, who died by suicide while in prison in 2019, spent decades running a scheme that allowed him and other people, including allegedly high profile people, to sexually abuse children. However, disappointment washed over because people believed that they were going to get more than they got. And then I'm going to scroll down here. They also say being named in the documents does not indicate wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else. The list of names includes alleged victims, accusers, and people connected to Epstein who were pulled into a civil or criminal lawsuit against his co conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell. So then they say the names included in the documents have been listed below. Almost all this was already out there, but where it got a bit tricky over the last couple years is there was so much disinformation of people going, we have it. And they'd post fake ones. And so when there are like 14 versions of it up, you really don't know which one's which. So again, from theindependent.com the names included in the documents, which. This is not breaking news. It is just a revisiting of the news we already knew there was nothing yesterday we didn't know, which is tragically disappointing. Want to see people arrested? Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's former girlfriend, convicted in 2021 of sex trafficking, connection to Epstein's activities, which, by the way, I'm surprised she is not Dead. She's in prison still. I'm surprised they haven't killed her. Just so she doesn't talk unless they know she's not going to talk. But, I mean, if you think Epstein killed himself, you're crazy. The cameras happen to go down, the guards happen to be gone. Next up, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, second son of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, brother of King Charles Bill Clinton, former US President Donald Trump, businessman and former US President David Copperfield, American stage magician Alan Dershowitz, public lawyer and media pundit Leonardo DiCaprio, actor and film producer Richard Branson. Some of these names who. I don't know who they are. Like John Connolly, New York police detective. We're not gonna know who they are, so I'm only gonna read the ones I think we know who they are. Stephen Hawking, a former Israeli prime minister. I'm not sure how to say their name. Ehid Barak, Michael Jackson. Kevin Spacey, Cate Blanchett, Naomi Campbell. I don't know who that is. Sharon Churcher, British journalist. Bruce Willis. Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico, Cameron Diaz, Tom Pritzker. I don't know who that is. Chris Tucker, RFK. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. I don't know who that is. Palm Beach. His Palm beach house manager. Now it's just getting to people. I don't know if they are. Yeah, I don't see anybody else I know. I think they're getting less publicly known. Dr. Tomlinson. Now, I'm just going to keep scrolling. Hold on. Before I'm done, I want to make sure there's nobody else that I recognize. Al Gore. And what they do say is sometimes people just could have been on the plane and taking a ride because they're not saying which ones went to the island, which ones went wherever. Some of them are on there multiple times.
Scuba Steve
So these are people that were just.
Bobby Bones
On his plane with him or on his plane. Yeah. And there are people like Clinton and Trump that have multiple. And. Oh, the Prince Andrew, not dude. Listen. What do I know? But nothing but that dude.
Scuba Steve
Which one was he?
Bobby Bones
He's the one that's in.
Amy
That's like, known that it's like. Like shady.
Bobby Bones
I hate to say something's known. So. So I. I don't say something's known.
Amy
But it is allegedly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. From. I'm allegedly here today, you know.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
If we're doing that game because I never want to get sued. I did see yesterday, too, where the Ole Miss student who allegedly slept with the dad of her boyfriend. The boyfriend and I came on Here. And I was like, allegedly, Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Didn't even say their names. And I was like, who knows? I might be making this up. Like, they're pissed and like they're suing people that were telling that story.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
Or at least they say they are. Like they were upset at barstool and Pat McAfee for talking about it. Yeah. I'm not sure who said what. Why. Why they said what. I just always like to cover myself with the allegedly. Hey, I think my new name should be Allegedly Bobby Bones.
Scuba Steve
I'm allegedly.
Bobby Bones
Because I know nothing. But they did. They. They released nothing yesterday. And then everybody starts to go, well, it looks like the New York FBI is holding stuff. It's bull crap. They're never going to release it all. I have no faith. They said day one that the new FBI director gets in, they're going to do it, and jfk, and they're never going to do it. So there you go. Any thoughts, Amy?
Amy
I'm trying to. I didn't circle back to it yesterday. I thought I would just, like, wait. So I had. This is the first time hearing that they gave it to these.
Bobby Bones
I knew when that happened, it was all a farce.
Amy
People with followers.
Bobby Bones
It was all influencers. Not that influencers don't have a place. Not that political influencers. And they were political influencers. They supported this administration, obviously, now that they don't have a place, but that's not who you give it to. And go. And then it just looked gross how they were all smiling.
Amy
Yeah, the picture is really weird.
Bobby Bones
It's really weird.
Amy
It's almost like we got the golden.
Bobby Bones
Ticket and it's like that ticket.
Scuba Steve
I mean, that's kind of how journalism is. It's weird. It's weird when you have something that no one else does. You get really excited that you're about to tell people or you have information.
Amy
So that's what they're gonna do.
Bobby Bones
No, but there were 13 of them. If you're one person and you're like, I got a story. When they give it to 13 people and they're all influencers, and they're all, like, holding it up like they just won something.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Not the same. I understand what you're saying.
Amy
So then for us to. Then we have to go seek out these accounts.
Bobby Bones
No, because there are people like. I think Congresswoman Luna last night had posted. She was like, screw it. I got the whole book. Now I'll post everything in Dropbox. Dropbox ended up being taken down. I mean, so many people Went to it. She was. I'll show you every page of it. And so she did. It's just regurgitated stuff that people already knew.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I really had hope yesterday was going to be the day they released that. And then we just see arrests. But also there can be people that were possibly just getting a ride somewhere on a plane versus what they called, what, the Lolita Express that would take people to the island. So I want to know who went to the island.
Scuba Steve
Right.
Bobby Bones
I want to see flight logs on who went there. But I now don't think we'll ever see the absolute truth. So yesterday there was a. You felt it in me. I was like, we're in. We're going to finally get something. And we didn't. So you want another weird story? Yes or no? Yeah, weird, no. Weird, yes. Weird, no.
Amy
Weird, yes.
Bobby Bones
We talked about Gene Hackman yesterday. Dying.
Amy
Yeah. And his wife and dog.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And his wife's body and possibly his two are partly mummified. Did you see that?
Amy
Well, I saw that it had been some time. Maybe they didn't know how long they had been deceased. So, you know, stuff starts to set in.
Bobby Bones
Some disturbing new details have come to light concerning the death of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy, and their dog. A Santa Fe detective told TMZ that Betsy was found lying on her right side in. In the bathroom with a black space heater near her head. Police think the heater may have fallen off the counter, possibly when she fell, if she fell. There was also an open prescription bottle on the countertop with pills scattered around it. But here's the disturbing part. Her body was decomposed and showing signs of mummification. Hackman was found in a mudroom at the kitchen, and police think he may have fallen suddenly because his glasses seemed to have been thrown off his body. He was fully clothed and his body was in similar condition to his wife's. The dog, a German shepherd, was found in a closet near the bathroom. But they now, if I'm correct, say it wasn't carbon monoxide poisoning, which is what my early guess was. And then it was semi confirmed, although inaccurate, because then people said, we think it could have been this silent killer, which is carbon monoxide poisoning, because you just feel like you're going to sleep and the next thing you know, you're dead and you don't wake up. The maintenance workers who found them said they hadn't seen them in two weeks. The front door was ajar when police arrived, but there were no signs of forced entry. As for Speculation they died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The fire department in New York Mexico gas company inspected the property and found no signs of a gas leak. At this point, they don't know how or why Jean and Betsy died.
Amy
Well, and so then there was the one dog that died, but then there was other dogs on the property. I think maybe one or two more that are alive.
Bobby Bones
Wonder if because they weren't in the.
Amy
House maybe, or, or but if it wasn't a carbon monoxide thing, then yeah, I don't know. I'm just like, what in the world happened?
Bobby Bones
That's bizarre because I'll go to conspiracy guy. Only because of TV, but TV's a lot of times based in what they know people can really do. I've seen a couple of shows where they can not saying this happened, but they can put a knife in between your toes full of something and it can inhibit or kill you. But then what they're putting in, they can put, then put drugs around you and it looks like it's an overdose, right? Because that can be like an OD of drugs in your system. But they do it in between your toes or somewhere that you can't, you almost will never look or can't even see a needle injection.
Amy
Whereas like if you've got track marks on your arm or they'll do it.
Bobby Bones
Between your toes and then do a different needle of the drugs into a place of your body, that you would have taken the drugs and then put the drugs somewhere around when the drugs aren't what killed you.
Scuba Steve
And they said there that the drugs were like her pills, just a pill bottle.
Bobby Bones
It didn't say drugs as far as like, like heroin or anything.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, it could have been a prescription. Like I was thinking like, oh, I have pills on my bathroom counter and if I were to maybe fall and it knocked over, you would think, oh, maybe these pills have something to do with it.
Scuba Steve
When they don't, you leave those open.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And out. She just leaves them scattered around.
Amy
I mean, I might, like, I don't know, I mean, on any given day, you may find me forget to put the lid on.
Bobby Bones
Okay, quick mid roll here.
Amy
Hey, y'all.
Maria Fernanda Diaz
I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz. My podcast when youn're Invisible is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life. I get to talk to a lot of people who form the backbone of our society, but who have never been interviewed before. Season 2 is all about community organizing and being underestimated.
Bobby Bones
All the greatest changes have happened when a Couple of people said, this sucks. Let's do something about it. I can't have more than $2,000 in.
Morgan
My bank account or else I can't get disability benefits.
Bobby Bones
They won't let you succeed. I know we get paid to serve.
Morgan
You guys, but, like, be respectful.
Bobby Bones
We're made out of the same things. Bone, body, blood. It's rare to have black male teachers. Sometimes I am the lesson and I'm also the testament.
Maria Fernanda Diaz
Listen to when you're invisible as part of the my cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Bobby Bones
I do want to read one more source in the Epstein stuff because I just want to make sure I hit two sources just so people don't think I am inserting my opinion in this or picking an entity that has an opinion. This is from the ap. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday released government documents related to wealthy financier Jeff Epstein. But the first wave of files posted on the Justice Department website had largely been circulating in the public domain for years and did not include any new bombshells about the sex trafficking case that had been a favorite subject of conspiracy theorists.
Amy
Well, then this is just stupid.
Bobby Bones
It's just stupid. Yes, that's true. That's true.
Amy
And that is my opinion.
Bobby Bones
I agree with that opinion. I'll have that opinion.
Scuba Steve
You can say that, right?
Bobby Bones
I said, hey, allegedly, this is stupid. Nope, just stupid.
Scuba Steve
You can say that. Safe.
Amy
I'm not reading this from any other source but my own.
Bobby Bones
Stupid. Stupid. I honestly believed there was a part of me that believed I was suckered into it, that we were going to get some, maybe not all, but some real information and there would start to be justice served.
Amy
Justice served. Yes. For the survivors that have had to endure this for so many years.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Anything you want to say on that lunchbox?
Lunchbox
I don't think we're going to hear anything because there's too many people close to, like, Donald Trump is on that list. Right.
Bobby Bones
It's like seven times, I think.
Lunchbox
Right, right. And so he is not going to implicate himself or anyone around him if he knows of people that were there because he. He was around Epstein, he saw some people, I would assume, that were there. And he's like, I'm going to protect them. So it's all, I'm going to do this. And we're not really going to do anything because there's too many people that are still alive that can get in trouble. And I think everybody has friends in high places. These people are well connected, so we're never going to find out.
Bobby Bones
And I would say it's not just Trump based. I mean, Biden might have gone through the same thing where Biden wasn't. Because Biden's 210 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He needed. But I'm sure he knew people.
Amy
Oh, for sure.
Bobby Bones
It's rich, successful people protecting other rich successful people. It's billionaires protecting billionaires. But to be fair and to semi counter that point, what was released yesterday by Trump did have Trump's name in it.
Lunchbox
Right. But you said that's already common knowledge. We've already known all that. So my whole thing is they come out and say, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do this to get everybody excited and then they don't do anything. So it's like, is it all just smoke and mirrors, like to get you excited? Like, oh, see, we did release it. We told you we're gonna release it. And most people maybe not catch that. That's already been public knowledge.
Bobby Bones
Some of that public knowledge though, like I said, was a bit disinformationized because people would release all the different ones too to kind of cloud it. So you really didn't know who was on what. And by the, by the way, that seven number, I said it may not have been seven, it could have been six, could have been nine, could have been three.
Amy
But say, say all the numbers just to make sure.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, 1, 2, 3, 0, even 110. Yeah, I feel like I do a lot of reading on this, but also I think part of it too was the new FBI head said, day one, it's coming out in the campaign. It's like day one. So I think that's why people are upset. You saw people that are in, on the, on the right side yesterday upset too, going, oh yeah, where the heck. It's just not a partisan thing. So all right, there's that.
Lunchbox
And I think. Can I go to Gene Hackman? I think I got a theory.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I think those pills. Allegedly.
Amy
Theory, allegedly.
Lunchbox
Because assisted suicide, I believe is illegal in New Mexico. And I think he was older. And so I think, I mean, just the pills. They tried it on the dog to see if it would work. It worked. And then they took the pills together.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
But I would say that. Okay, my counterpoint to that is maybe the dog was if cysted, a suicide is legal. You can do that legally. And there's nothing illegal about both. That's not assisted. That's you guys killing yourselves. That's not assisted. Assisted is when a doctor comes in and gives you something, and if it's legal, then the doctor could legally do it without there being any of this. How did they die?
Lunchbox
That's a great point. I just wonder. I'm just trying to figure out where they got the. If the. If My theory about those pills is, who did they get to prescribe those pills? And they said, these should work. And so they try it on the dog first.
Bobby Bones
You don't even need a prescription, dude. You can get pills from anybody if you don't.
Lunchbox
That's a good point.
Scuba Steve
What were the pills? Do they know?
Lunchbox
They don't know. I just had a theory, because once they said it's not carbon monoxide, I'm like, the pills are there.
Bobby Bones
I would counter that theory and say it is not that because they. It didn't matter if it was legal or not, because everybody ended up dying.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They all just could have had a death pack and we all die together. Assisted suicide doesn't have to be legal to do that. And assisted suicide is. A doctor gets to come in.
Lunchbox
That's true. That's the Kevorkian guy or.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I mean, he was one. Yeah, he died long time ago. A few years ago. I don't know. Yeah. Assisted suicide is when you get to go to a place where they come and they administer this and they do allow you to die, and then they go, this is legal. We did it. So I don't think that's it, but I appreciate the theory.
Scuba Steve
Question about just lunchbox. Did you come up with that yourself or like, how did you know that assisted suicide was legal in New Mexico?
Lunchbox
I had read that somewhere, but I. But once I saw that, my first thought was, man, Because I didn't even read the carbon monoxide at first. When I just saw the headline that they both died and that assisted suicide was legal in New Mexico, I was like, dang. She was like, 30 years younger. She had a lot of life to live.
Scuba Steve
Oh, she was.
Bobby Bones
Died in 2011. What states this work in?
Amy
Yeah, I just looked it up. Washington, Vermont, California, Washington, D.C. colorado, Hawaii, New Jersey, Maine, and New Mexico. And this is all different years. Like, Washington was 2008. All the way up to New Mexico was just 2021.
Bobby Bones
I'm processed at suicide. Like, if you are in so much pain and you want to die and you want to die in a way that is humane, that's a lot more.
Amy
States than I thought.
Bobby Bones
And you are of clear mind. Okay. If somebody else is do it, you're going to do it to yourself, Montana.
Scuba Steve
Yeah, I just don't know if I could do it to anyone. I know, I'm not, I'm not asked to.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you don't have to make the decision.
Amy
Physician assisted doctor.
Scuba Steve
Oh, that's the only way. Not a wife the way.
Bobby Bones
Yes, that, that's just suicide. Yeah, that's just suicide or murder. Yeah, assisted suicide is with a doctor. Yeah, yeah. No, you don't have to do it. Don't worry.
Amy
Okay, look, and guys, here you patients must have a terminal illness and a prognosis of six months or less to live. Physicians cannot be prosecuted for prescribing medications to make them die faster. Okay, so I didn't realize that you have to have a prognosis of six months to live. You can't just decide one day.
Scuba Steve
Oh yeah.
Bobby Bones
But if you do decide one day, you just do it yourself.
Scuba Steve
Sure.
Bobby Bones
And we hope you don't. But yes. And that's not illegal if you're dead because what are they going to do? Put you in jail?
Amy
What if you're told, you know you've got a terminal cancer but you could live three years? You could. If. Unless they tell you you could go to Europe.
Bobby Bones
They do it in Europe. More than that. They're a little more free in Europe about that. But I would, for me, I don't know, unless I was in the situation, I'd be holding on because I'd be like one maybe in the next eight days they come up with some or do like some of the, like Andy Kaufman, travel around the world, try to find all the different ways the stones.
Scuba Steve
All over your body.
Bobby Bones
But yes, I don't think it assisted suicide because there was no one there to go, hey, I helped them in assisted suicide, which is legal. And I don't know that either one of them had a condition that was known. But it is weird. They're all dead. It did sound to me like carbon monoxide poisoning.
Amy
Cuz the dog, poor little dog.
Bobby Bones
We were watching a show the other day and I don't think I'm alone in this thought. Kill the humans on the show before you kill the dog.
Amy
Mm.
Bobby Bones
There's a dog and the dogs like at risk. I'm like, if somebody shoots that dog, I'm pissed. You shoot all the people. I don't give a crap. Like, do not hurt the dog. Like my priorities are way out of whack when it comes to dogs versus animals. I'm like, animal. Animals like have good hearts because they don't know the difference in Good and bad. They just live. It's humans that have the bad hearts.
Scuba Steve
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And doing bad stuff. In what was the Will Smith movie where legend and I am legend. It was him and the dog. Will Smith, I'm wishing you the best, man. Good luck with that movie. Do not touch the freaking dog. An axe wielding man attacks a couple's car after getting rear ended. This would be my luck. I accidentally rearing someone and dude jumps out with an axe. Wild video shows a man in Memphis, Tennessee, repeatedly striking a couple's car with an axe. The victims told police that after they accidentally struck the suspect's vehicle, he began yelling, went and retrieved an axe, and smashed their front and back windshields before driving off. See, hopefully this guy understood that. That they either a were being reckless and negligent and they hit him because they're idiots. And that's why he did it, because he shouldn't have done it anyway. And not somebody who accidentally ruined someone all of a sudden like, oh, oh, man, that sucks. And then some guy gets out with an ax. Like, I'm two points more okay with the guy taking the ax to their windshield. If they're big fat idiots. I still don't like it and he shouldn't do it. But if, like, somebody is a moron and rear ends you and it's like, that's what you get. Or they're like bumping you because some road rage thing or any of that. Well, you got an axe on your windshield. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes. But if you accidentally rear end somebody and somebody jumps out with an axe, that sucks. I mean, it still kind of sucks, even if you're an idiot, but better an axe and a gun is what I say.
Scuba Steve
When I was like, 18, I'll never forget, I was in my Jeep and I got rear ended and I was like, what the? And I see these two guys in the back. I get out, I'm like, what? Like, what happened? I thought it was just a regular accident. And the guys were like, what are you gonna do about it? And there were two big dudes. And I go, nothing, Nothing. I got back in my car.
Bobby Bones
We left once. I was driving into the parking lot of a restaurant near my house. It was this place I went every day called Galaxy Cafe. And I had a car from a car dealership that they had given me to drive for like three months. And I'm just sitting there waiting for someone to pull and take a parking spot. And in front of me is this massive white truck. And they turned their reverse lights on. Because they were going to try to get a spot. There wasn't even a fight over a spot. I'm just in line. Back right into me. And so big truck. So I know whoever gets out, I ain't going to win this. Regardless. Big dude gets out, big son gets out. And they go, why'd you hit me? And I go, I didn't hit you. Because a little bit I was mad because now they're putting it on me, but also a little bit I knew I was about to get my butt kicked, right? And I had to weigh that. The old scales of justice were confused. Like, what do I do? And I was like, dude, I didn't hit you. Like, you literally backed into me. And he goes, no, I didn't. Luckily, there was a Mexican restaurant right next to Galaxy Cafe where there was an outdoor patio. And somebody stands up and goes, I saw the whole thing. You backed into him. And the guy's like, okay. And gave me his insurance. But they were going to. I think they were going to either intimidate me or beat me up. I was already being intimidated or both. And I was about to get beat up, but I literally did nothing. And they got out and wanted to blame me for, like, driving into the back of their massive truck. What sucked was that was the dealership's car. And I had to go to them and go, wasn't even my car. Sorry about that. There's a bounty that's been placed on anyone who dares to leave. A negative review of a ramen restaurant. The owner has placed a cash bounty on the heads of those who rip his restaurant online. The cash reportedly will be paid to anyone who successfully identifies those who complain about the restaurant or the customer service on Instagram. The owner said, if you write a stupid review, we will find you. We will beat you up.
Scuba Steve
It's funny.
Bobby Bones
It's from Anime Galaxy. In addition, those who blow in the unhappy customer service, those who blow in the unhappy customer service with personal information, location, or willing to take action will be paid 100,000 yen, or 662American dollars. That almost feels illegal that you say you can go beat up somebody. Like, here's the reward for beating up somebody.
Amy
Yeah, this doesn't seem right.
Bobby Bones
Experts say you can make your jeans more comfortable with this little trick. Put your jeans on. Gently spray lukewarm water on the parts you want to stretch. After you do this, do a few lunges and squats. You'll notice they are stretched. They fit better. It's also to not wash your jeans a Ton. And avoid putting them in the dryer. This significantly changes the comfortability and fit from first for women to 25. 25, Amy.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, they say the less you wash them, the better, but sometimes I'm just like, ugh, I really want to wash my jeans. But they also say you can stick your jeans in the freezer if they have like a weird smell. Like, say you go out to eat and then they smell like the restaurant. You can stick them in the freezer for 24 hours and the odor will go away.
Bobby Bones
Risky for me to spray water on pants because I'm gonna hit right in the middle. It's gonna look like I wet myself.
Amy
Well, you gotta have time.
Bobby Bones
I know. I know how this is gonna work.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Two Southwest passengers get a private jet experience after learning they're the only flyers on a 165 seat plane.
Scuba Steve
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Two college students, it's funny. Booked college and had the anomaly of the incredible result. They got them on a Southwest flight. The pair detailed their accidental fly rolling adventure in a video with over 4.8 million views. On TikTok, we were just giddy. While checking their bags at a Salt Lake City airport, a Southwest employee had reported to them that, well, you basically have a charter plane because nobody else is on it. That's pretty funny. The pictures are funny.
Scuba Steve
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. A bunch of seats. And then finally, as far as the stories go, and I saw this video on TikTok and there was no audio so I didn't bring it in. It's so bizarre. This fisherman caught what looks like an alien. Have you seen this thing? It's not a fish.
Amy
Well, a lot of creatures from the ocean look like aliens.
Bobby Bones
I'm telling you. Whatever this is. Has anybody seen this thing?
Scuba Steve
I've seen it.
Bobby Bones
I'm not saying it's for sure an alien. There has never been a more alien type thing pulled from the water that I've ever seen.
Scuba Steve
It's a very weird looking fish. I wouldn't even call it a fish. Doesn't look like a fish.
Bobby Bones
Would you mind sending Amy a link to this?
Amy
Yeah. Because maybe I have seen it. I saw a pretty crazy looking fish, I'm telling you.
Bobby Bones
You ever see Squidward's head?
Amy
No.
Scuba Steve
That's a good one. That's a good description.
Bobby Bones
It looks like from spongebob. Squidward is.
Scuba Steve
He's got the big name.
Lunchbox
That's spongebob.
Bobby Bones
He's. What is he? Octopus. Squidward Tentacles.
Amy
So I think he's a squid.
Bobby Bones
Octopus. Oh, my gosh Morgan.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
I'm an idiot. Thank you. Squidward's a Squidward.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Tell me what. Tell me about that.
Amy
Okay. I have not seen this before.
Bobby Bones
Why are you coughing?
Amy
Because it. I don't know. It's just like a picture. I know, but it's gross looking to me.
Bobby Bones
A fisherman catches a bizarre alien, like, sea creature.
Scuba Steve
Apparently the guy, he's like, Russian. And that's what he does. He fishes weird things and takes pictures of them. And people follow him for that.
Bobby Bones
That is okay. He wins.
Amy
Weird.
Scuba Steve
It is weird. It's a weird looking thing.
Bobby Bones
Hilarious that we're like, what is Squidward? And Morgan goes, it's a squid.
Scuba Steve
Idiots.
Bobby Bones
Idiots. I think he is an octopus. Who? Squidward? No way.
Scuba Steve
Squidward's a squid.
Bobby Bones
He is. Okay, but is a squid an anthro?
Morgan
It could be part of that family.
Bobby Bones
Pomiferic octopus. Who is Squidward from spongebob?
Scuba Steve
Hey, let's be real. He's not real. He's amazing.
Bobby Bones
He has eight arms and legs. I don't think squids have eight arms. But still, for us not to go first to squid with the name Squidward, that's on us for being idiots.
Scuba Steve
Spongebob is a sponge.
Bobby Bones
Spongebob is a squid, but a sponge, but like a living. Like a reef sponge or whatever they're part of.
Morgan
The squids have eight arms and two longer tentacles.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Morgan
Well, so I do think they're all part of the.
Bobby Bones
Not really something I feel like fighting about.
Amy
So they're in the cephalopod family.
Bobby Bones
Squidward was created and designed by marine biologist and animator Stephen Hillenburg. He first appeared on television in the pilot episode. Although his name has the word squid in it, he only has six tentacles. Squidward is an anthro. Palma. Sorry, screen's moving. Anthro palm. Orphic octopus. Which is probably somewhere between an octopus and a squid, but who cares? We should have just said squid because his name is Squidward now. Anyway, about this. This ocean thing.
Scuba Steve
Alien.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, dude. This looks like an alien head, doesn't it? With two big eyeballs.
Scuba Steve
Well, you know, and you always said, like, aliens could come from the ocean, too. We don't know. And this thing, it definitely looks like an alien.
Bobby Bones
It's the.
Morgan
It has two big brains.
Bobby Bones
It's the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It looks like the aliens from Mars Attacks. That movie. I don't know if you remember back in the day. 90s maybe. Mars attack from the 90s. Mike. Yeah, 96. There's them. What's going on this weekend, Amy?
Amy
Well, Mike, I get my kids back today, so I gotta. I get them back on Fridays after school. So sometimes it's like a. Okay, who you talk to? Friend wise. What do we have going on? Trying to figure out what all they have. So I'm excited to see them. And then I'm doing a walk in the morning for like a colon cancer walk. So I'll be up early.
Bobby Bones
Like to raise, like to raise money.
Amy
Yeah. Awareness.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Mostly because it's just increasing in like younger and younger people. And it's crazy because it's one of those cancers that if you catch it early, it could totally. Your survival rate is very high. It could save your life. Early detection and if. And so many people just think, oh, I'm too young to have this. It must be a hemorrhoid or something like that, when it actually could be colon cancer. So fun run, but I'll be walking.
Bobby Bones
You guys on the Pod Meets World drama. Or is that just on my TikTok feed?
Morgan
Oh, boy Meets World.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Pod Meets World is the podcast and.
Morgan
It'S the Boy Meets World cast.
Lunchbox
They're fighting.
Bobby Bones
Well, Topanga and whatever the girl's name is, the red haired girl that came in later, it basically was all Topanga unfollowed her on Facebook and then it turned into a whole fight after. It boils down to Topanga unfollow her on Facebook. But they've been going at it like, her name, what her name's like Maddie. Do you know?
Morgan
Can't remember her name.
Bobby Bones
Matten.
Morgan
I know what character like she plays. She played Sean's girlfriend for a long time and they're one of their roommates. But yeah, it the. I think the drama is also around Ben Savage, who is not friends with.
Bobby Bones
Them anymore, who doesn't talk to any of them at all. And like the guys are like, ben, just stop talking to me. Yeah. So Maitland Ward is her name. I thought Topanga crushed. Like, I thought she went on and they were getting into it pretty good and I thought Topanga had great points, never lost her cool. She was like, you just want to use this for clicks. But yeah, I spent like two days on Pod Meets World. That's the name of the podcast for Boy meets.
Scuba Steve
Are both of those girls on the podcast?
Bobby Bones
No, Topanga is.
Scuba Steve
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
But Maitland, I think I've been talking about it. And then they pulled Maitland on that podcast to talk it out, not to like attack her. It was my kind of awkward. I was in. But yeah. Topanga stood her ground, and Maitland was like, you know, I was really starting to get famous and you weren't treating Topanga like. Wait, hold on. You think I was jealous? I was on the COVID of Maxim at the exact time. Like, I was blowing up, so you're not gonna put that against me. It was great. It was great. And also, I liked Penga, so she was rocking. It seemed like somebody I'd be friends with. Anything Morgan from that. Do you remember?
Morgan
Yeah, no, it was just more that. It's crazy because, like, we ran into them at iHeart Fest being like, oh, it's so cool. But the Boy Meets World, like, Ben Savage is a huge part of that, and he wasn't with him, and it was just weird. So I'm glad that they at least finally kind of addressed that awkwardness because I feel like it's been such a white, like, elephant in the room with all of the stuff with Boy Meets World.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because his brother on the show is the one who would talk about him and Ben Savage used to talk. And then one day, Ben, just midway through, never spoke to them again. Yeah, we're waiting.
Amy
Y'all are in.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
It's such a good show, though.
Scuba Steve
When we break up, who's, like, gonna not talk to us anymore?
Bobby Bones
I mean, I prefer now to not talk. What?
Amy
Stop. I don't even like talking like that.
Scuba Steve
What?
Amy
What?
Scuba Steve
It's hypothetical.
Amy
I know, but it's just stupid.
Scuba Steve
I feel like Lunchbox, like, would just go MIA If I hit the lottery.
Lunchbox
You will never hear from me again. I will never talk. I have nothing to say to you guys.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
Fair enough. There you go.
Amy
Call me.
Scuba Steve
He's Ben Savage.
Bobby Bones
I think you heard it here first.
Amy
Okay, see why I didn't want to talk about that.
Bobby Bones
But why?
Scuba Steve
It's not a big deal.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
I don't like hearing that none of us will ever talk again.
Bobby Bones
Seasons, man.
Amy
This has been a very, very, very, very, very, very long season.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Lunchbox
I mean, do you talk to people from your old granite job?
Amy
Yes, I do.
Bobby Bones
Really? How often?
Amy
Well, Luke is one of my dearest friends from high school.
Scuba Steve
Chris, when's the last time you talked to Luke?
Amy
Oh, probably a couple months ago.
Scuba Steve
Oh, wow.
Amy
And, yeah, and then Chris, he did accounting there. I see him in Colorado, cuz he goes to the same place where my sister lives, and every summer and winter, we're like, hey, but if he didn't.
Bobby Bones
Happen to be in the same place. Right.
Amy
But we do. We do still talk, though. You didn't say There was rules around how you talk.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, there is.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
And then if we happen to be the same place, I'll talk to you guys.
Scuba Steve
But if not, I'm not gonna ignore you guys.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
No, but I mean, we'll reach out.
Bobby Bones
My name's not Bobby. I don't know who you talking about.
Amy
Okay, well, yes. So just to answer your question, yes. Yes, I do. Lunchbox. I'm sure you still talk to somebody from Sam's Club. 259.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox talks to every high school person he ever met.
Amy
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
During the show on tv.
Amy
Why would he not talk to us?
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, it's just different. I mean, I don't talk to him as much as I used to. I thought we were going to talk a lot more like Mark and I, when we were. When we worked at Sam's club, you know, 64, 16. He sat there and we were sitting there in the carts and outside, and he was like. He looked at me, goes, you think we'll be friends in two years? I said, heck, no, we won't be friends in two years, dude. Like, once we leave here, we'll never talk to each other. Ended up. We were roommates for, like, three years. He, like, we lived in a house together. And then he got married earlier than I did, and we kind of just. We don't talk as much. Like, once every six months. I'll text him back, hey, man, what's up?
Amy
But that's okay. I mean, but that's not talking.
Lunchbox
Like, we used to.
Amy
Once a year or something. That's not.
Bobby Bones
You also don't have to talk to your friends for them to be friends.
Amy
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
That's what I mean.
Bobby Bones
Like, we can talk about friends without talking ever. So you guys always been friends, but there you go, man. Never talk.
Scuba Steve
Maybe that's how Ben Savage feels.
Lunchbox
That's right.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it is. Thank you guys for listening to the podcast. Listen, there's a bunch of shows randomly added to the podcast now. I'm working on that. We're going to fix that. We're going to make sure this podcast feeds a lot cleaner. I get frustrated, too, when there are so many things in that podcast feed. So give me some time to clean that up, and it will be easier to navigate. So I see your messages. I got you kind of. I don't have full control over it, but I will make sure that how it is now is not how it will be in a few weeks. So let me work on the podcast feed for those that get annoyed that there are so many different things up there, so many different shows other than that. We will see you guys on Monday. Hope you guys have a good weekend. Goodbye, everybody.
The episode begins with a voicemail from Nicole, who shares an unconventional remedy for vertigo. Nicole explains, “My husband also suffers from vertigo and when he gets slightly dizzy, he takes a pinch of cream of tartar and puts it under his tongue.” This suggestion sparks curiosity among the hosts, leading Bobby Bones to delve deeper into the topic. Bobby points out, “Worst condiment ever. By the way, if we're listing worst condiments. Tartar sauce, very bottom worst condiment. Cream of tartar. You haven't used that?”
The discussion evolves into the nature and uses of cream of tartar. Scuba Steve remarks, “Use is doesn't sound very natural,” prompting Bobby to clarify its chemical composition: “Potassium betarterate. Known as potassium hydrogen tartrate.” The hosts debate its legitimacy as a remedy, with Morgan sharing a related experience where an alcohol swab helped alleviate her nausea during medical treatments.
Bobby emphasizes the lack of scientific evidence supporting the use of cream of tartar for dizziness but acknowledges that “it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.” The segment concludes with a reminder to consult medical professionals before trying such remedies.
A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to Bobby Bones' reaction to the release of the Epstein Files. Bobby expresses disappointment, stating, “I haven't said it on the show, and I said, I'm ready for it. Let's throw some people in jail.” He criticizes the method of releasing the files to social media influencers, noting, “they were releasing it to social media influencers and not to whomever is substantial in the government.”
The hosts explore the contents and implications of the released documents. Bobby reads from an Independent report: “Attorney General Pam Bondi released more than a hundred pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Almost all the information was publicly available already.” This leads to a broader discussion about the lack of new information and the perpetuation of public disappointment.
Scuba Steve and Amy join the conversation, highlighting issues like disinformation and the politicization of the releases. Lunchbox adds, “Everybody has friends in high places. These people are well connected, so we're never going to find out.” The segment underscores a pervasive skepticism towards governmental transparency and the effectiveness of such releases in bringing justice.
The hosts transition to discussing the enigmatic deaths of Gene Hackman, his wife Betsy, and their dog. Bobby Bones shares disturbing details: “There was an open prescription bottle on the countertop with pills scattered around it... her body was decomposed and showing signs of mummification.” The conversation scrutinizes the official reports and speculates on possible causes, including carbon monoxide poisoning and assisted suicide.
Amy and Lunchbox contribute theories and express confusion over the unclear circumstances surrounding their deaths. Lunchbox posits, “I think those pills... they tried it on the dog first. And then they took the pills together.” However, Bobby counters this by distinguishing between suicide and assisted suicide, emphasizing the legal complexities involved.
The discussion touches upon the emotional aspects, especially concerning the dog, and the broader implications of mysterious deaths in high-profile cases. The segment reflects the hosts' intrigue and frustration over unresolved investigations.
The episode features a collection of bizarre and intriguing stories shared by the hosts:
Ramen Restaurant Bounty: Scuba Steve narrates a story about a ramen restaurant placing a cash bounty on individuals who leave negative reviews online. Bobby comments, “It's almost illegal that you say you can go beat up somebody,” highlighting the absurdity of the situation.
Southwest Flight Experience: Bobby recounts a tale of two college students who accidentally booked a Southwest flight and found themselves as the only passengers on a 165-seat plane, resulting in a “private jet experience” praised by TikTok viewers.
Alien-Like Sea Creature: The hosts discuss a video from TikTok showing a fisherman catching a creature that resembles an alien more than a typical fish. Bobby humorously compares it to “Squidward’s head” from SpongeBob SquarePants, sparking a lighthearted debate about the creature’s classification.
These stories add a mix of humor and intrigue, showcasing the hosts' ability to engage listeners with diverse and entertaining anecdotes.
The conversation shifts to the ongoing drama surrounding the cast of "Boy Meets World", referred to as Pod Meets World. Bobby Bones explains the conflict between Topanga and Maitland, highlighting the tension that arose from social media interactions and personal disagreements. Morgan reflects on the awkwardness and the lack of communication with Ben Savage, expressing relief that the issue was finally addressed.
Lunchbox and Scuba Steve contribute thoughts on the interpersonal dynamics and the challenges of maintaining friendships after fame. The segment underscores the complexities of relationships within celebrity circles and the impact of public disputes on personal bonds.
In the closing segment, Bobby Bones addresses technical issues related to the podcast feed, acknowledging listener frustrations about the inclusion of unrelated shows. He assures the audience, “We're going to fix that. We're going to make sure this podcast feeds a lot cleaner,” expressing his commitment to improving the listener experience.
The hosts partake in light-hearted banter about personal friendships and hypothetical scenarios, maintaining an engaging and personable tone. The episode wraps up with Bobby Bones encouraging listeners to tune in next week, promising a more streamlined podcast feed.
Nicole [00:35]: “Cream of tartar is just a spice you can buy in the store. It's a regular spice you cook with.”
Bobby Bones [05:27]: “But they're just [influencers] smiling so big. They're like, look what we got. This is like a gift. It made it feel fake.”
Bobby Bones [19:43]: “It's just stupid. Yes, that's true.”
Lunchbox [20:25]: “You will never hear from me again. I will never talk. I have nothing to say to you guys.”
Bobby Bones [22:40]: “But if you do decide one day, you just do it yourself.”
Amy [35:15]: “So I think they're all part of the cephalopod family.”
