Lunchbox
Turn it up.
Bobby Bones
This is the Bobby Bone show. Let's go. Hey, I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday's show. Morning studio.
Eddie
Morning.
Bobby Bones
Guy from Minnesota thought he saw an empty candy wrapper. He was at a diamond park in Arkansas. The one lunchbox went to and he thought it was a wrapper that was shining from the sun and picked it up. It wasn't. It was a 3.81 carat brown diamond.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, he's going to make a ton of money off this. It's the largest diamond harvested at the park this year. It wasn't a candy wrapper. The guy was trying to pick up litter. Next thing you know, he's got a diamond in his hand.
Eddie
It was gleaming from a distance. That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
David de Cook of Stewartville was strolling through Arkansas's crater of Diamond State park with his family. He noticed a shimmering object on the ground. Just going to pick up the trash. 3.81 carat brown diamond. That's. That's really cool. Fox 9 with a story lunchbox spent pretty much half day there. Didn't find anything.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
But he also, like took a nap on the ground and made Abby dig.
Lunchbox
Dude, it was so hot. There was no shade there. I didn't have water. I mean, it was treacherous conditions at that park. And I dug and dug and dug and nothing.
Bobby Bones
And nothing in the park. It's not like a bunch of, I would think, like worm soil. Like really soft worms.
Lunchbox
Right. It is very hard dirt and you have to dig and dig.
Bobby Bones
Did you have tools?
Lunchbox
Yeah. You had to get them up at the front. You could rent them, check them out, whatever. I don't remember if we paid for them.
Bobby Bones
Remember when Abby came in with all those rocks and we tricked lunchbox into thinking Abby found a diamond and he flipped his crap. I wanted half of it.
Eddie
That was awesome.
Lunchbox
Yeah. That wasn't funny. Yeah. I was trying to take a nap and she said, oh, I found it while you were napping. I'm like, well, that's not cool.
Bobby Bones
And then you wanted half of it even though you.
Lunchbox
Well, yeah, because I'm the one that drove.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Well, actually she drove.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Eddie
Oh my gosh.
Lunchbox
So what did you do, man? I was the entertainment and I provided her safety when we got booked into the horror hotel that we were gonna get murdered at by scuba ski Steve. I mean, what a terrible. What a terrible hotel. That was the best hotel they had.
Bobby Bones
In the whole area.
Lunchbox
No, it wasn't.
Bobby Bones
And an indoo pool and everything.
Lunchbox
It was beautiful. Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Do you want to go back into another day a bit?
Lunchbox
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Do it, dude.
Eddie
Look, this guy just found this.
Bobby Bones
Now you know what's going on. Now you understand you have to just look for basically slightly shiny rocks. You're not looking for a massive diamond that's in a museum.
Lunchbox
That is true. I was looking for big rocks. Like if it was big, I was like, that's it. But now I realize if it's bigger than a centimeter, it ain't it.
Bobby Bones
It also doesn't look like a diamond. It looks like a rock. They have to form. Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Let me think about that, man. Maybe I need to go back.
Bobby Bones
Why are you talking to that tone?
Amy
Oh, no, that's just thinking about it.
Lunchbox
Well, that's what I'm thinking about. Like, you know, this guy did. But if you go back right now, you're not gonna find it. He just found one. So you gotta wait.
Bobby Bones
It's not like the lottery and even the lottery's not like that. But just because he found one doesn't mean there are no others. They're not creating them every day.
Eddie
How have they not found all of them? Like, it's been around for a while, right?
Bobby Bones
It's massive.
Lunchbox
It is huge. Dude, I don't think you understand how big this place.
Eddie
I don't understand. So is it a big field? Like, what does it look like?
Bobby Bones
I mean, field wouldn't be how I describe it, but we went for field trips when I was a kid. It's just a bunch of dirt. I mean, it's not a field like a farm, right?
Lunchbox
It's just dirt, dude.
Bobby Bones
It's just dirt as far as you can see. Dirt, huh? Yeah.
Lunchbox
And there's a professionals that have their own buckets, their own sorting system. They have a. They corner off a whole area and they don't want you in it and it gets kind of testy. It's weird.
Eddie
That sounds fun. Dude, you need to do this.
Bobby Bones
They have territory fights, like games.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Like they set up and they put their buckets all around. Oh, sorry. We're digging here.
Bobby Bones
It Cost anything for you to go?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think it was like 10 bucks or 15 bucks. The park's got to make some kind of money.
Amy
But can you do that, though? Like. Like rope off your own section and say that someone else can't come and do it?
Bobby Bones
But if you're like. It's homeless people fight over, like, areas stand on. Yeah, I mean, you corners legally, but you. I guess you can stab somebody if they come into your section. Can't stop that.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
You're still stabbed, even if you get in trouble. You know what I mean? Ye. Yeah. We should think about it. Maybe it's a. Maybe it's a whole field trip. Amy loves field trips.
Amy
Yes. Let's all go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you guys all go. And let me know how it goes.
Lunchbox
It's the anonymous inbox.
Bobby Bones
There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My parents let me make my own mistakes. I guess that's worked out for me. But as I'm raising my own kids, I'm struggling with the fact that I've given my kids smartphones and now I'm watching them scroll endlessly, get moody when they're told to stop and lose interest in real world things they used to enjoy. I'm wondering if I'm helping them grow or did I just hand them the most addictive distraction of their lives? How can I give them freedom without setting them up to fail? Signed parents setting kids up to fail. Amy have a response for her?
Amy
Yeah, I mean, you can give them a phone. Just. You can build boundaries around it. You can have certain times of day restriction. It doesn't mean they just have rain of whatever they want and you've ruined their life.
Bobby Bones
Also, she didn't say their ages in this.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I'm assuming it's on the younger end. And I. I agree you can give a kid too much screen time. I don't have kids. But I will say that every generation, it's almost like people saying, that ain't country music, that ain't real country. Every generation, there are parents that say, I've given my kids too much phone. I've let my kid watch too much tv. I've let my kids. There's always some sort of technology that ends up dominating, and parents have to decide what's too much and what's not enough. I imagine in the 1800s, I shouldn't let them read so many books. They should be out milking cows all day. But I agree there's. There's a lot. But phones can get you in trouble because of the connections that young kids can make with people they don't even know.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like that's a big part of it. But yeah, listen, I also lose interest in real world things because of my phone. I love my phone, but I, I see it. I hear you as a parent. Eddie, your thoughts?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. It's a real thing, right? So, like, I deal with this with my 17 year old. I'll catch him for like 2 hours straight, just scrolling and scrolling. But Amy's right. Put limitations on it. I'm. I was always anti phone, you know, I was like, not a phone till he leaves the house. Now we got him a phone when he was 16. I like that he has a phone. He doesn't have free reign. We do have to have limitations. But it's a good thing. It's fine.
Bobby Bones
It's also going to be weird if you, the mom, are on your phone all the time and you're also telling your kid not to be on your phone all the time because you probably are on your phone all the time. We mostly are.
Amy
Yeah. And something that's helped me too with my kids is like, being honest with them. Of like, hey, sometimes I have to watch how much I'm scrolling. And so I'm. You hold me accountable, I'll hold you accountable.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it sounds like a disaster. Yeah. Okay. You are doing a good job because you're even wondering if you're doing a good job. That's what I'll say there. All right, thank you. Close it up. Add the stores that don't exist anymore that were awesome back in the day. Let's see how many you can name. Amy, what stores were awesome way back in the day, but no longer are even on the planet.
Amy
Toys R Us.
Bobby Bones
Great one. Number three. Toys R Us was so legit in the mall. Toys R Us, did they. Did your mall have one?
Amy
No, ours was sort of a standalone.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Amy
Like, yeah, yeah. Rest in peace.
Bobby Bones
The Giraffe. Jeffrey the Giraffe, I thought was so cool. That's Toys R Us, right? Jeffrey the giraffe. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Now, Toys R Us, to be fair, that the IP that, that like they call intellectual property. The brand, somebody still owns it, but those stores aren't around anymore as they used to be. But that's. That makes the list at number three. Can you name another one? Amy?
Amy
Yeah, was. I mean, there's no, like Radio Shack anymore, man.
Bobby Bones
Radio Shack was so legit. Radio Shack comes in at number eight. Founded in 1921. Radio Shack. If you needed batteries or cords that's where you went. Also in the mall. Well, at least the Hot Springs mall. So I don't know about you guys malls, but we had a Radio Shack and it was so legit. In the mall. Yeah.
Amy
Next up, Amy, Every Friday night, Blockbuster.
Bobby Bones
Number one, Blockbuster Video, founded in 1985. The fact that they did not buy Netflix for $1 million. Hilarious. And just made one bad decision after another. They didn't Bend. There's that one in Bend, Oregon. But mostly, I think they sell more merch. Like, they sell more T shirts and stuff that say Blockbuster than they do actually rent videos. Like, that's how they make their money. But yeah, number one, Blockbuster Video. Anything else come to mind?
Amy
Well, this one's sort of recent and I used to love when I got the big coupons in the mail, but Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Bobby Bones
Oh, it didn't make it, but that was a good one.
Eddie
That's.
Bobby Bones
Are they all gone? Gone, gone?
Amy
I think so, yeah. I think they still have an online presence.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but. And probably a brand. Right? Because some of those places will just do, like, sections of bigger stores now, like Bed, Bath and Beyond. Inside of a Target, they'll have like a small section instead of a whole store. Okay, so no Lunchbox. Let's go over to you. How many can you name? Any places that don't exist anymore that were awesome.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Sears.
Bobby Bones
I think Sears still exist, doesn't it?
Lunchbox
Gone. They gone.
Bobby Bones
Mike, can you fact check that? I think there's still a few open.
Lunchbox
Every Sears I know of is gone.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know if they're gone or not. Final, final answer. There's still eight locations.
Amy
Oh, eight, wow.
Bobby Bones
You know, I'm going to give it to Lunchbox. It didn't make the list, but if there's only eight left, like, they're struggling to stay alive, but yeah, Sears. That's a good one.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Anything else?
Lunchbox
Yeah, make the.
Bobby Bones
What's up?
Lunchbox
Kmart.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't make it, but that was a good one. Yeah, Kmart was always like the Pepsi to the Coke. Like, it was good, but it wasn't quite as good as Walmart. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's still four Kmarts. Wow. Lunchbox.
Amy
Technically, isn't there one Blockbuster somewhere?
Lunchbox
No Mervyn's?
Bobby Bones
Nah, no Mervyns.
Amy
Oh, I liked Mervyns.
Bobby Bones
Technically, there are three Mervyns. Okay, Eddie, any that are on your list? Stores that are still we know of and we love but don't exist anymore.
Eddie
Yeah. This place was awesome. Circuit City.
Amy
Oh, that's like Radio Shack.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Circus City was super legit. Didn't make the list.
Eddie
Oh, not on the list.
Bobby Bones
No. Huh.
Eddie
What about Wieners? Is wieners on there?
Bobby Bones
I don't know what that is. I don't know if you're messing with me or not.
Eddie
It's a real store.
Amy
It's like. It's like Bells.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Whoa. Bells. Is that gone too?
Bobby Bones
Are you guys doing regional things? I never heard of this stuff.
Amy
Maybe. Maybe this is just stuff in Texas.
Lunchbox
There's the stuff in the stores I saw when I was a kid.
Amy
Yeah, we had Mervyn's Wieners, Bells.
Bobby Bones
Wieners Butts.
Lunchbox
Solo Serve.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Number two on the list was KB Toys. Also in the mall for me.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, I remember that.
Bobby Bones
Do you know what KB stood for, by any chance?
Eddie
Oh, Kibbles and Bits.
Bobby Bones
Incorrect.
Amy
Different brand kb.
Bobby Bones
If you don't know it, you won't know it because it's Kaufman Brothers.
Amy
Never would have gone there. I was gonna say Candy Bear, but yeah, misspelled candy. That's why in the world.
Bobby Bones
Candy with a K. Something called Discovery Zone. I'm not sure what that is. Anybody. It had like, play zones and tunnels and slides and ball pits.
Amy
I think we had one of those in Kansas. I remember going to something very similar to this.
Bobby Bones
Chuck E. Cheese bought most of them. Yeah, the Limited two.
Amy
Oh, yeah. Limited or the Limited two? Both great.
Bobby Bones
Was that like tween girls? Yeah, because I never went in.
Amy
Limited two was. So there was a Limited, which, I mean, if. If some of my friends could shop at the Limited in high school and I'd be like, God, your mom takes you there to shop? You're so lucky. Because my mom didn't take me there. And then when they came out with Limited 2, I was. I missed it, though. Like, I didn't get that, but, like, I wish I would have when I was younger because they had the cutest stuff.
Bobby Bones
Sharper Image.
Eddie
Oh, that's gone.
Amy
I thought that was still around.
Bobby Bones
I think it's just like an airports. Yeah, like you buy on a magazine or something. Payless at 7 did a lot of Paylessing.
Lunchbox
Oh, Payless, man. That was one that grandma took us. Get shoes. Payless was a. I didn't realize they were gone.
Bobby Bones
Radio Shack today, Sam Goody Music land is at 9.
Eddie
Music store.
Bobby Bones
Just in general, music stores are tough. And then at 10, Sports Authority went bankrupt. In 2016, out competed by Dick's Sporting Goods. Do you guys ever get nervous about going to the Dick's website? No. Okay. Just asking.
Eddie
You do?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Just in case something else pops up.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I just kind of get nervous about that. But, yeah, number one for sure on the list. And I think we all kind of agreed with that one, right?
Amy
Blockbuster.
Bobby Bones
Blockbuster Video. People have no. If they had no idea, they had no idea. Bones, it's time for the good news with lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Back in 2016, there was a rainstorm in Colorado Springs, Colorado. After the rainstorm left, there was a bunch of trash on the side of the road in the neighborhoods. And Luke and Tiffany Scott were like, we got to do something about this. So they started Old Colorado City Trash Fairies. And they go around and collect trash once a month. And their latest one was at a park, and they collected two tons of trash in one morning.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
Two tons, £4,000.
Eddie
A lot of trash.
Lunchbox
That's a lot of trash. It must have been a big park.
Bobby Bones
Adopt all the highways. And I was always like, man, I'd love to adopt a highway, have my name on the side. And then I went and looked it up once. I was like, 17, I was like, I'd like to adopt a highway. They were like, you got to clean this thing, like, once a week. You have a crew. And I was like, no, just me. They were like, okay, but are you gonna do it? I was like, I don't know. I don't think I am. I'm out.
Eddie
Was it like a mile stretch?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And mine was, like, a bad one where, like, a lot of cars, all the good ones were taken. Yeah, that's pretty good. That's good. Awesome. That's what it's all about right there. That was.

These spots are filling up fast. This experience will be unforgettable. Topshelfcountrycruise.com There was a guy that works in our building, and I was driving down the road and I see him on a billboard and it's for hair loss. And then all of a sudden he had a bunch of hair on his head. And I was like, holy crap. Did you guys even know that billboard was going to exist?
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
No. Okay. Have you seen it?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So we talked about that and I was blown away. Raymundo says another billboard has been inspired by someone on this show. Raymundo. So I was driving down 65. I have a pretty long commute in the morning, and I see it's a huge billboard and there's like a motorcycle image sticking out the side of it. So it's the billboard and then even an add on to that billboard. And on the billboard it says, think twice, save a life. And then it's this huge motorcycle. And I'm like, that billboard is basically speaking to Amy. Look twice and before you cross over into other lanes. So that billboard was inspired by our very own Amy because she almost hit a motorcycle and they knocked her side view mirror.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I'm not saying tdot listens to the show, but they listened to the show. That was a week or two after she did that. Amy, your thoughts? Did you inspire that billboard?
Amy
Yeah. I mean, maybe it's to the motorcyclist because the motorcyclist was the one that was zigzagging in and out of lanes, not in the proper highway lane. Like, I don't know how to describe it. It wasn't my fault. Like, maybe it's because of the cyclist. Motorcyclist.
Bobby Bones
No, a motorcyclist would not be a cyclist.
Amy
How do you.
Bobby Bones
That'd be a bike.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, it's their fault. I'm. I'm done taking the blame for the story. I told y' all.
Bobby Bones
No, you're not. Listen, I got bad news. That's not how this show works. Secondly, for those that did not know, Amy's driving, and all of a sudden, someone comes up on a motorcycle beside her and, like, punches her side view mirror and doesn't knock it off, but snaps it back. It scared the crap out of her. And we said they wouldn't do that if you probably didn't almost hit them.
Amy
Yeah, and I'm not saying I didn't almost hit them. I really don't know. But I know that they were riding the. The line or whatever you call it. They were doing something illegal that is not legal in the state of Tennessee. So that billboard is for them.
Bobby Bones
It's only legal in a couple states, so. Most states, you can't do that. Okay, go ahead. Finish your little joke. You're gonna make here. Think twice.
Amy
Well, think twice, look twice. Do whatever you need to do twice before you maybe ride the line that.
Bobby Bones
Just says, avoid this car and the picture of Amy's car.
Amy
Whatever. Whatever. They. They assaulted my car.
Bobby Bones
I don't think that would be called assault. I think assault's on a human.
Amy
They vandalized property, Something like that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I mean, it felt like assault. They assaulted my nervous system because I was.
Bobby Bones
Fair enough. Fair enough.
Amy
When they hit it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, question for the room. Would you say. And I am asking this. I'm not telling you what your answer should be. Would you say Amy is a bad driver?
Eddie
You just want to say.
Amy
Be honest.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Be honest.
Amy
Don't do the whole, like. No, no, we're not doing the whole thing. Somehow, you know how somebody just takes on a role somewhere?
Bobby Bones
You didn't just take on the role. You've hit multiple things and almost in.
Amy
In, like, this is 20 years of stories where I have come to y' all and shared with y' all vulnerable moments between me and a fire hydrant or me and a gate.
Eddie
Amy, how many times? How many times you get the bird?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. How many times you do get flipped off?
Amy
A lot. Okay. But that. To be fair, that was the six weeks that I was living In Houston, Texas. And they are. They are aggressive there, and they're angry.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so would you say Amy's a bad driver? Yes.
Lunchbox
Listen, I took road trips from Nashville to Austin with Amy, and I would let her drive some, barely. And I could never nap because I was too scared to let her, like, be alone on the road. So, yes, I'm gonna say Amy is a bad driver.
Amy
Feed into the narrative.
Bobby Bones
Okay, it's not an narrative.
Amy
It is, and it's a. Yes, it's a narrative. Everybody has had a little. A little bump here and there.
Bobby Bones
So I want to pass this around, though. So if I say Amy's bad at blank, what would you say? Lunchbox driving.
Amy
No, no, just natural to that.
Bobby Bones
Amy, you'll get your turn. You hold. You take a breath.
Amy
Okay, go ahead. I'll stop.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, Amy's bad at not losing things. Okay. And I would say Amy's bad at paying attention.
Lunchbox
There you go. That's it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because I think paying attention also affects the driving. No, no, we're gonna go around the room. Amy, relax. Relax. Amy, you can go now. Okay. Lunchbox is bad at blank.
Amy
Well, I would like to say what I think I'm really gonna go.
Bobby Bones
Here we go. Okay, go ahead.
Amy
And it'll clear up everybody's thing with me. I. I am bad at depth perception.
Bobby Bones
So seeing which. Which affects your driving.
Amy
Yes. And that's. That's a disorder. Like. Okay, let's. Lunchbox is bad at being tidy.
Eddie
Okay, that's good.
Bobby Bones
Eddie. Lunchbox is bad at keeping his cool. Oh, yeah, Rage Man. That's a super.
Amy
I feel like that's a superman.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Rage. That's. That's not a narrative. We've seen it. Rage man has come out. I would say Lunchbox is bad at holding in his bodily gases.
Eddie
That's fair.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Lunchbox, what are you bad at? You fill it.
Lunchbox
Bad at saving money.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Eddie is bad at blank.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Amy
Amy, follow through.
Eddie
Well, that's rude. That's a narrative.
Bobby Bones
See, Lunchbox, Eddie is bad at thinking for himself.
Lunchbox
Oh, he needs Bobby to say something so he can agree with it.
Eddie
That doesn't make sense.
Bobby Bones
Dang.
Amy
Don't. Lunchbox.
Eddie
I mean, that's cool. Calm down, Rage Man.
Lunchbox
How is that bad?
Amy
Wait, wait, wait.
Lunchbox
I don't understand. Okay, like, you asked me what he's bad at. What's he bad at?
Amy
Who's next?
Bobby Bones
Bobby.
Eddie
Bobby, go.
Bobby Bones
I would say Eddie is bad at taking the lead. He's such a type B, and it works for him 98 of the time. So I would say Eddie is bad at taking the lead.
Amy
That's sort of a lucky.
Eddie
It's kind of what he said. I can't think for myself, basically.
Bobby Bones
No, I think it's different. He's saying directly. You need me to tell you something, which is not true. I'm just saying you are such a. You. You'll go with the flow all the time. And it's like, hey, what do you want to go eat? Eddie? Like, I don't care. Wherever you want. Just. No, just pick some more, man.
Eddie
But that's true. I really don't care where we go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay. Okay, let's do me now. Oh, Eddie, what are you bad at?
Eddie
Oh, math.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Like, fair enough. The worst. Yeah, I guess that's your numbers. Yeah. Okay. Bobby is bad at Amy sleeping. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good one. Thank you, Lunchbox.
Amy
You're real bad.
Lunchbox
Bobby is bad at being wrong.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. I'm right a lot. Thank you, Eddie.
Eddie
Can I say nothing?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I love that. I love it.
Eddie
Bobby's bad at nothing. Guys.
Bobby Bones
Hey. This guy stinks for himself. I like it. I like. Exactly.
Lunchbox
He had to ask you first if he could say that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I mean, he thinks for himself. He has to.
Lunchbox
There we go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Now give me a real one. I'm bad at what he's bad at. Let's see.
Eddie
Being late to things. Yeah, you're bad at being late to things. You always have to be on time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. In an annoying way.
Eddie
Boom.
Bobby Bones
It feels like your tone means an annoying way. No, I'm asking you. That's right.
Eddie
Oh, it is an annoying way. Because, like, I guess my type is just like, I'll get there when I get there.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Eddie
But not you. You got to be there early or on time, and it's annoying.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I would say I'm bad at being too rigid. Like, it is, so it shall be, and I will do it that way.
Amy
You're bad at being bendy. Hmm.
Bobby Bones
Hmm.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
Because, like, if you're.
Bobby Bones
You made it weird.
Amy
No, because I, I. That's how I say it. Sorry. I'm not trying to make it weird. It's just, like, I want to be bendy and breezy.
Bobby Bones
You know, I don't. I don't exactly, but I don't. I don't want to be that. Yeah. Yeah, I don't.
Amy
But why? Like, there's no part of you that just sometimes wants to just be, like, breezy.
Bobby Bones
A very, very small part of me, but I can't really just be it a Little bit. I am who I am, but you have to also. I'm bad at surrendering.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
I'd never surrender. It'd be me. I'm holed up in a bunker. Me with a knife, fighting the whole army.
Eddie
No white flag for you.
Bobby Bones
I'm out. If there's no WI fi, I'm out.
Amy
I'm not talking about, like, an actual war. I just mean in your little day to day things, just surrender.
Bobby Bones
Amy, we're proud of you for the billboard, though. I think that's great. That's great. When it all comes down to it, that's what we're looking for.
Amy
Yeah, Bones.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the Good News with producer Eddie Old.
Eddie
William Rogers used to be the choir director at Maryvale High School in New York. He taught from 1962 all the way to 1998. Well, he was turning 85 last week, and his family's like, hey, why don't we just take you to a choir concert? You like choir? They show up. Hey, I know those people. They were all his former choir students, and they performed a special concert for his big birthday. They all sang songs, and even William at one point walked up there. He's like, let me conduct a few.
Bobby Bones
That's cool. If he could really still do it, it's cool regardless. But if they know he can't do it, don't put him up there. Conduct. Right, right, right. I'm watching him here. He's. He's good. This is a. This is 85 year old dialed in.
Eddie
He still has the move.
Bobby Bones
Still has the move. Well, I don't know what the moves are because I don't know. But, yeah, he has it.
Amy
Yeah. I often wonder. I. I don't know, like, when they're doing it, I'm like, are they doing any.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
So they're doing something.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. Okay, everybody.
Amy
I know they are.
Bobby Bones
Yes, they are.
Amy
It just looks like a bunch of back.
Eddie
And what are they doing?
Bobby Bones
So I'm telling you, first of all, they're keeping. They're keeping the tempo too. But then they're also bringing in groups, right? So they have the stick. And let's say it's horns, tempo, tempo, tempo, tempo, horns, tempo, tempo, tempo, strings. Or that Amy just yelling, yes, yes, they are doing something.
Amy
Okay, got it, got it, got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, cool.
Eddie
They probably sang all the classics, too. Row, row, row your boat.
Bobby Bones
You know, I bet that's not a classic.
Eddie
They did the one where you start and then somebody else comes in later.
Bobby Bones

Amy
What do you call a lazy kangaroo?
Bobby Bones
What do you call a lazy kangaroo?
Amy
A pouch potato.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one. Okay, that was the morning corny. This lady who used to work under President Bush says that they built all of these massive underground bunkers because when the world ends, all the rich people get to go there. And I don't know how rich you got to be. That's what I started thinking. Like, what's the level where they let you in on the secret? But I want to play you a bit of this here. Hit that. So we have built an extraordinary number of underground bases and supposedly transportation systems. Some of these are documented as part of the national security infrastructure. I think there are many more. We system automatically went through and tried to estimate our guess how many underground bases both underground in the United States but also underground under the ocean. And our estimate was 170 with the transportation network connecting them. Okay, so apparently according to her there are all these underground bases and bunkers and anybody who's rich or anybody in the government gets to go. How come there aren't construction workers leaking this out?
Amy
Oh, because I mean I would imagine they had to sign something or they get murdered.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so a couple things. One, do we believe they spent $21 trillion for basically this underground city for rich and powerful people.
Amy
Do we believe it, Amy, of taxpayers money or just.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What do you. What do you mean?
Amy
Oh, I thought maybe they invested like the wealthy people they paid for it.
Bobby Bones
No, because I don't think that you buy your spot there. I think eventually you just get anointed to get to go. So she is a former Bush administration official, Catherine Austin Fitz. She claimed in the recent podcast interview with Tucker Carlson. Government secretly built over 170 massive underground bunkers in the late 90s and 2000s. And it was shelters for elites in the event of the or a global catastrophe. $21 trillion. And the bunkers are all connected by transport systems. Basically it's a bunch of towns connected. What do you believe?
Amy
Dang. I mean why would she come out and say all that? It wasn't true.
Bobby Bones
Whistleblowers are a thing.
Amy
She's just making it up.
Bobby Bones
Maybe also people just looking for clout, making stuff up. That's the thing. Do you believe it?
Amy
Kind of believe it.
Bobby Bones
I think I probably believe it. Kinda.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like a couple. I don't know if I believe that it's that big. Again you're telling me they built all of this and not a single construction worker, not a single tractor driver, not a single came out and said anything to their buddies drunk one night.
Amy
Yeah. Or their. Their wife and then their wife got mad and.
Bobby Bones
Right. So that I guess for it to be that robust, I would think somebody would have said something. But then again would we have believed them? You know, she was somebody who was in the administration or everybody who built it, they killed. That's not theory.
Eddie
No dang.
Bobby Bones
So a lot.
Amy
But yeah, maybe. Maybe just put them all together and gas it.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Amy went hard on earth. Golly.
Unknown
I.
Amy
That would be tragic and terrible.
Bobby Bones
Welcome into one of the places. Wow.
Lunchbox
So I Believe.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, go ahead.
Amy
How is it that crazy that I thought of that? I mean, I'm a little worried, too.
Bobby Bones
I just thought, like, individually, they would just, like.
Amy
Yeah, but that would be very, very. But then that would be a lot of people going missing and then loved ones being like, wait, where's, you know, John and Joe and classic John again.
Eddie
And Joe.
Bobby Bones
So when Genghis Khan. When Genghis Khan died. Genghis Khan, the great conqueror. When he died, they. They buried him, and they had a group of people go and bury him, but they didn't want anyone to know where the grave was, so they buried him in this place. And everybody who was at the funeral, they killed. And then the people that killed, the people that were at the funeral, they killed.
Eddie
Well, then that cycle never ends. Did everyone.
Bobby Bones
It doesn't. It doesn't. Because the people who were, like, third back didn't know where the funeral was. They were just told to kill the people who killed the people who killed the people.
Eddie
My goodness.
Bobby Bones
Ever heard that?
Eddie
Nope, I never heard that.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. I'm not even sure if it's true. I mean, I've heard it. I've heard it many times. It's probably true, because no one knows where he was buried.
Eddie
And how long ago is Genghis Khan? Like, who's gonna prove that?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you can't.
Eddie
It's a long time ago, but.
Bobby Bones
But that's been the legend for a long time, and no one knows where his body's buried. So I'm just saying that could be the same thing, right? Everybody who built it, you get killed or you die in an accident down there. Anyway. Do we believe it? Amy, you say one through ten. What do you believe? On what level?
Amy
Four.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Lunchbox one.
Lunchbox
She sounds cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
No, she's a former administration person. I give her an eight.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
Like, I can't believe I'm saying that, But I'm an 8 believer.
Bobby Bones
I think this is definitely happening where they're building these bunkers for people that are rich. And my goal is just. I want to be invited. Like, I never want to be invited to anything. This is the one thing I would accept an invitation to. So I'm still gonna put it at a four. I'm with Amy. Like, I don't think it's this. I think it's something.
Amy
Did you see she also talked about maybe you said this, and I. But the secret space program, she didn't.
Bobby Bones
I did not see that in the story.
Amy
Okay. I don't know Now I'm trying to read about it because I was trying to see what Tucker Carlson said, but remember that one time we met him in a green room? You were going on.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. And he was a guest, too.
Amy
Yeah. And he was in the green room.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And the governor of, like, New Mexico was US 3. What a group. It was me, the governor of New Mexico, and Tucker Carlson. Just chilling. I forgot all about that. Okay. I don't know if I believe it, but that sucks if so, because I don't think any of us have been invited.
Amy
Yeah. Unless you're just not allowed to say.
Bobby Bones
Good point.
Eddie
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
There we go. Bill Belichick's girlfriend competed in Ms. Maine USA.
Amy
Oh, finished third. Oh, okay. Good for her. Third. How old is she again?
Bobby Bones
24.
Amy
I get confused because he's so. He's so old. But at 24, that's, like the right age for pageant people.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Because I was thinking, isn't she too old for pageants? But she's not.
Bobby Bones
Jordan Hudson placed at the 2025 Miss Maine USA pageant. The New England native, 24, came in third. I would think that it hurt her. The. Bill Belichick is her boyfriend. Because that is a massive distraction. And I would think if the judges. Because I went and judged Miss USA once on the big. We didn't know we were doing, they should have never let us judge it. We were. No clue. But I'm thinking on the state level, they do know what they're doing, and they bring in people that probably are qualified to do this. And I would think that it hurt because can you imagine the distractions of that, of Bill Belichick girlfriend being in the Miss USA pageant? So I would think that even if she. I don't know what her talent was attracting old men. She gets on the stage. She gets on the stage. Hello.
Eddie
This is how you do it.
Bobby Bones
Grandpa's from everywhere. Start coming through all the doors with their walkers.
Amy
That's hilarious. Thank you, Bill. I saw Bill was there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he was. Yeah, of course.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Your girlfriend's there. You're gonna be there. Okay, so she lost to Shelby Howell, who previously placed his runner up in the competition in 2024.
Amy
Okay, but so she. I saw. She did it last year, too, same competition, and she got second, and then this year she got third. So she did. To your point, maybe, Bill.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, no, no.
Lunchbox
The winner got.
Bobby Bones
Winner got second last year.
Amy
Oh, I thought that that was her.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Hudson, who lost to Shelby Howe. Oh, maybe you're right. Hudson, who lost to Shelby Howe. Who previously placed as the runner up. I'm kind of confused by the thing, but maybe she was second last year. This.
Amy
Yeah, because she. I know she competed last year, too. And I'm like, how many years do.
Bobby Bones
You even do a talent? Because I don't know that they do one of them. They don't do anymore swimsuit or talent or something. They've been eliminating these.
Amy
You think they'd keep talent and eliminate swimsuit?
Bobby Bones
But.
Amy
That'S just me. I mean, I think your talent thing is 5:30amT.
Bobby Bones
Time, 4:30pm bedtime.
Eddie
Wouldn't they want the promotion, though? Like, yeah, all the press that Bill Belichick's girlfriend's in it.
Bobby Bones
But the judges, they're getting it. The judges for this aren't the television executives. So the answer is yeah. If it were the national, yes, yes. But statewide, no dang interview. Swimsuit, activewear, evening gown. Oh, yeah. No talent.
Amy
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. She just bosses people around as her talent.
Eddie
Did you say activewear?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what that means. What do you wear?
Eddie
Lemons?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. Like. Or maybe when they asked her a question, did Bill, like, yell out, we're not answering that?
Bobby Bones
No, I think he was fine with it. And she was the one who said, I'm not answering that. So congratulations to her. I guess you finished third. Yeah, it's pretty good. When do you age out of that? Do we know? Is there an age? Is it like college where you can only, you know, play ball for five years? Basically four in a red shirt. You got to be 18 or older.
Amy
18 to 28.
Eddie
Oh, she's got four years left.
Bobby Bones
Great. She'll be on another old man by next year.
Amy
That's for Miss America, so I assume same.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of sports, on Friday after the show, we had our Home run Derby. It was Morgan and Lunchbox. They were competing for CMA Fest tickets that are sold out. And first of all, we should never let Eddie be the guy that organizes.
Lunchbox
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
Every film was lost. We kept being told to go to different fields.
Eddie
That was rough. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I was gone pretty much all week, in and out, because I had to go to Texas for the ACMs. I was like, you know, if Eddie's taking charge on this, great. We had a field.
Eddie
Dude, the field was ready to go. It wasn't even locked the day before I checked it. And then Ray got there before all of us, said, hey, bad news, it's locked.
Bobby Bones
Not only was it locked, then there was recess while we were playing.
Eddie
Yeah, that too.
Amy
Kids were Every time, like, you're like. If there was filming, it was like, we filmed that way. Film that way. There's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you can't put kids in the video.
Eddie
But the kids loved it, though.
Bobby Bones
They watched a little bit of it. Yeah, they did.
Lunchbox
They were big fans.
Bobby Bones
And Eddie put us on, like, the nine year old field.
Eddie
That's where my son plays six year olds.
Amy
But also, isn't that the only way that there was gonna be a. What do you call it? A home run over the fence?
Bobby Bones
Possibly. But I think now Scuba and Mike will take over control of everything.
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, I surrender those duties for sure because.
Bobby Bones
No, no, we're taking them. You're not surrendering.
Eddie
I was stressed.
Amy
I mean, Bobby, you're not on our group text because we spare you.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
From that.
Eddie
No, but I copy and pasted everything.
Amy
I'm sure you did, but I'm just saying, like, he misses all of our interaction where we're like, really? Yeah.
Eddie
Who's in charge here?
Amy
Yeah. Like, you can't be serious right now.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox one. So congratulations to Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Eddie, thank you for believing in me. Ray, thank you for believing in me. All these other idiots thought Morgan was gonna be able to hit it farther than I was. Hit it out more times than I did. I don't know where you guys were living, but also, Ray, we have a clip from my cousin. He wanted to say something to Morgan. Morgan, what's up? This is Lunchbox's cousin.
Bobby Bones
I just want to say thank you so much for not being very good at softball. I can't wait for my family to enjoy those tickets. Don't worry, though, if your parents want to send me some money, I'll be glad to have a couple beers on them. Once again, thanks for sticking it up. I really appreciate it. Morgan, your thoughts?
Amy
That's just rude. I mean, I don't know why we have to be a bad sport about it. You won. Congratulations. You had great skills.
Bobby Bones
I didn't show up.
Amy
But we don't have to be rude about it.
Bobby Bones
It was raining, too.
Lunchbox
It wasn't. There was nothing rude about.
Bobby Bones
The groundskeeper was on the field also. Everything was weird about it. Yes, the groundskeeper, he was great, though. He let us, like, kind of finish, but then he's on, like, raking because again, it was raining. So I wanted to make sure the field didn't get too muddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
We had tournaments later that day. That's why.
Bobby Bones
There. So there's the whole live stream on the Bobby Bone Show YouTube page also. There is a full edited video version of it over on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones. But Lunchbox is the winner. I think you deserve your. Your flowers.
Lunchbox
My name.
Bobby Bones
You did win.
Eddie
How many homers did he hit?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
I have four and 11 pitches, man.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, you only hit four.
Bobby Bones
He only hit a lady finish his last round.
Amy
Oh, that's true. I guess you would have hit more because Bobby hit like.
Bobby Bones
I wasn't playing. I wasn't playing. He did like 3 and 10.
Amy
I know.
Bobby Bones
Then he only needed one more swing.
Amy
I know. I just feel like you've been practicing. No thing. You're just.
Bobby Bones
I'm not part of this. I'm not part of this. No, I've been. I played softball. I did train so I could go play in the celebrity softball game, which I was MVP of. That.
Eddie
That's right.
Amy
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Bobby Bones
But I haven't played in a while. But it's not about me. Don't make it about.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's about me. I'm the home run champion. Morgan is not. That's what we. That's what we need to concentrate on.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Concentrate on him. Look at him.
Lunchbox
Look. It's all about me right now. Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
Let's not deflect.
Amy
It's just like every single one, he hit it over.
Lunchbox
Not every single one. That's the lie.
Bobby Bones
That's not true. Okay. I'm not making it about me.
Lunchbox
It's about me. Let's me and Morgan not being able to do it. Let's talk about that.

Now this is from Advanced Life course Research, which is a scientific publication. Emmy, what do you think the science is behind pregnancy being contagious?
Amy
Well, my first thought is sometimes our, our periods sync up. So then if we're on the same period cycle and then we're on the same ovulation cycle and then bam.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I love a good bam. I love a good bam. But she had us walking somewhere very clinical and then she just was a bam. Experts say it's because once we see someone else make the plunge, we're more likely to do so.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
The possibility of having a job raising kids seems a lot more doable since your co worker just showed you a blueprint.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And they wrote bam. A veterinarian warns against seemingly harmless activities with your dog because a massive parasite was found in a woman's pelvis. So they found a cyst twice the size of a tennis ball in the pelvis of a pregnant woman who was rushed to the hospital. They successfully saved the 26 year old woman. And as they go through the story, they found out that mostly it came from letting the dog lick her face.
Amy
Oh, yeah, we have to stop.
Eddie
Oh, you guys let your dog do that?
Bobby Bones
No, not anymore.
Amy
We as a society need to stop.
Bobby Bones
I used to actually lick it back. I have a wife who frowns on that now. Dogs should not lick faces, especially around the mouth or eyes. As a matter of health. Dr. Amy Warner, a resident veterinarian at a pet insurance company, says to the Daily Mail, humans are not infected by the adult tapeworms within the dog, but instead ingest echinocus eggs. I'm sure I said that Wrong past and dog feces by accident. If a dog has fecal soiling on its mouth or coat and then it licks someone, there is potential for transmission. To avoid contracting the disease, Warner recommends keeping your dog away from raw meat and livestock and getting the pooch dee warmed regularly and New York Post. Okay, I'm looking at the worm. Yeah. Because they don't really know what poop is. It was like, Amy, I got into all this trouble on our show 25 Whistles because I went on this whole thing about how horse racing is not a sport because the athlete at least needs to know it's a sport to be a sport. Horses don't even understand the concept of a sport. They can't hold the trophy. The jockeys aren't the winners. And if every horse was even and then we graded them on jockeys, that would be the sport. But the horse doesn't understand what a sport is. So how can there be a sport if the competitor doesn't know what a sport is? Oh, like we don't celebrate the race car, we celebrate the driver. True.
Amy
Okay, but if the horse didn't have the jockey on it, would it know, like, what. Exactly what to do, or does the jockey guide it?
Bobby Bones
The jockey does guide it, yes. Okay, but if the jockey was celebrated, but the Right. Exactly.
Amy
Right, yeah. Well, so the jockey should be the winner.
Bobby Bones
Well, the jockey does, but the horse is the one that celebrated. You don't breed jockeys.
Eddie
I guess you could.
Bobby Bones
So. And it was met. I was not met. Well, by. By the horse racing. And I was like, it's not a sport. I don't think every sport needs to have a ball. But if you don't have a ball, then there needs to be something about your sport, like running. I think running is a sport, like. But it's rare that there's a non ball sport. An animal is the athlete. The animal doesn't understand what an athlete is or what the sport is. And if you don't understand what a sport is, how can you compete in a sport?
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So you're just an animal that's being trained to run fast. So that was the whole thing. Right. So I go on this whole thing and I don't even know where I was going with that. But I was talking about horse racing is not a sport. And.
Amy
Well, because, I mean, we were talking about animals. Poop.
Eddie
You say you don't even know what poop is.
Unknown
Yeah.
Amy
And then you go, thank you.
Bobby Bones
That's what it translates to. Horses don't know what a Sport is. Or a trophy. And if you're like, you won. They're not like, I did. Wow. Let me go tell my friends. They don't even know what winning is.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And if you don't even know what winning is, do you win?
Eddie
But in the cartoon cars, like, the cars know that they're winning, like Lightning McQueen.
Bobby Bones
That is a great point.
Amy
How is that a great point?
Bobby Bones
It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. But I say that to move on.
Amy
Yeah, well, I don't. I don't know that I'm ready to move on because I feel like the jockeys are feeling a little. Or people in the horse industry are probably a little disrespected. It not being a sport. I think it's a sport.
Bobby Bones
It's not a sport at all. It's a sport if the winner of the game in the sport doesn't know. They would just want a sport or the concept of a sport. How can it be a sport? Name another sport where the person winning doesn't even know what they're doing.
Amy
Why don't we just alter the. Okay. Is bull riding a sport?
Bobby Bones
If the bull knocks the bull, the rider is.
Amy
Well, then why don't we just change who wins?
Bobby Bones
But we're not. Now you're having to change it to be a sport. I'm saying, as it is now, it's not a sport. It is a very. It's difficult to train a horse to run fast.
Amy
So the jockey gets a trophy, right?
Bobby Bones
No, the.
Eddie
Sure.
Bobby Bones
But the jockey is not the one that's celebrated the most.
Amy
Just the horse and the owner of the horse.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Jockey rides another horse three races later.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Back in like the 20s, main sports were boxing and horse racing. Talk about a terrible time. Boxing's a sport. No ball. But what a terrible.
Amy
Gymnastics is a sport, no ball.
Bobby Bones
And also it's like a sport. You need to, like, be able to, like, root for your team. Like, the horse may run three times a year.
Eddie
Like, who won the Derby? Silhouette. What was the horse's name? Do you remember?
Lunchbox
Don't even remember.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
But we definitely don't know the jockeys.
Bobby Bones
Who won the Super Bowl.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, the Eagles.
Bobby Bones
Correct. The Eagles did.
Amy
Okay. See, but yeah, I've already forgot that.
Eddie
People know that.
Bobby Bones
People know that.
Amy
I'm sure if I really thought about it, I'd recall. Especially since I. Yeah, the Eagles.
Bobby Bones
You would. But the horseshoe wouldn't.
Amy
Huh. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, I got crushed for that. And I, you know, Home Alone's also Not a Christmas movie.
Amy
Yes, it is.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's. That's fine. I'm happy to have these thoughts that nobody agrees with. Marriage is a shield against depression.
Eddie
Just another theory of yours?
Bobby Bones
No, it's a new story. News story. Thank you, though. From Nature Human Behavior, a research publication. Unmarried people are about 80% more likely to have symptoms of depression than those who are married. The divorce, meanwhile, have almost 100% higher risk of depression. Humans were created to be connected to people, and the relationships we have can bring us more positivity than we bring ourselves at times. Thoughts?
Amy
Yeah. I mean, I think a lot of people are lonely, but you can be in a marriage and be really lonely, too.
Bobby Bones
Sure.
Amy
So just depends. And we had that article last week or whatever where it's like, how many people are stuck in a relationship and they're not going to get out?
Bobby Bones
Hey, marriage not a sport. No ball, no ball. And next up, an average American driver has a collision claim for insurance Approximately once every 17.9 years. Meaning if you started driving at 16, you're likely to be involved in a crash around the age of 34. During a typical driving lifetime, you're expected to experience three to four accidents. Overall, drivers that have commutes in busy cities typically will have five or six in their lifetime. From the National Safety Council. So, Amy, how many times have you filed insurance on anything on your car?
Amy
Minimal number since I've been 16.
Bobby Bones
In the past 10 years.
Amy
In the past 10 years? Like, none.
Bobby Bones
Come on. You're out of your mind.
Amy
I'm not out of my mind. No, no, I'm not out of my mind.
Lunchbox
Oh, you just pay cash.
Amy
Y' all are acting like. No.
Bobby Bones
Some of these give them hush money at the scene.
Amy
Some of these things, they're not worth filing because my insurance would go up worse. So I pay cash for the little dental. That.
Bobby Bones
Fair enough. Fair enough. South Carolina petting zoo worker is killed by a kangaroo after stepping into its pinned roughhouse with itw. This would be a sport, fighting kangaroos?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The brother of a South Carolina petting zoo owner was apparently beaten to death by a kangaroo after going into the pen to roughhouse with it. Guy had to be drunk, right? I mean, I don't know that he.
Lunchbox
Goes in there and rough houses with it a lot.
Bobby Bones
I would imagine he gets drunk a lot.
Lunchbox
That's probably true.
Eddie
Maybe.
Bobby Bones
But again, this is me inserting that part of the story. I'm not sure. Eric's slate was discovered inside the facility just before midnight.
Lunchbox
Okay. Yeah, that screams he had a history.
Bobby Bones
Of stepping into the kangaroo enclosure and roughhousing with it. The kangaroo was still in its enclosure at the family owned farm. I still maintain that I could beat up a random kangaroo because I'm playing the numbers game as well. And people will send me these jacked up kangaroos. Yeah. But odds are I'm not gonna get one of those jacked up kangaroos. I'm gonna. There are just the odds I can get a baby newborn kangaroo that I would smoosh immediately, that I would get one of the biggest, strongest ones. True or false? True. Yeah. So my point is, if you were just to go lottery ball. Okay. Kangaroo, four, seven, three, six, nine. You'll now fight Bobby. I will beat that kangaroo up. I'd bet on myself 100 out of 100 times. That being said, where this guy was an idiot is he did it in a cage. He wants to move around. He got trapped. Oh. It's also probably for more reasons than that. One of the reasons that he was idiotic, he did it in a cage. Why are you gonna go into their home and fight them in their home where you're trapped?
Eddie
So where would you fight yours?
Bobby Bones
Out in the open?
Eddie
Just in the field or in the ring with ropes.
Bobby Bones
And then I have to stick my head out. He has to stop, has to let up. Yeah. I'd fight mine out in the open so I could run. Okay. That's the news. Oh, hold on. I gotta ring the bell. Forgot to ring the bell. What's the bell mean?
Lunchbox
A thousand followers.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The only one that knows he remembers everything.
Lunchbox
Because I pay attention and I'm worried about that thousand dollars I want to get.
Bobby Bones
So we went up another thousand followers in the Bobby Bone Show YouTube page. So we ring the bell. 304,000. There it is. Thank you very much. Go and follow us if you don't mind. Bobby bone show on YouTube. Now you can hit it, Ray. Those were Bobby's big stor. Bobby Bone show bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This might be an Alzheimer, guys. Alzheimer. This story comes to us from Mount Fiji. A 27 year old man decided to climb the mountain. It gets all the way to the top. But he lost his crampons that stick into the ice. His what? Crampons. They're like. They're foot clips.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we wouldn't have known that. You just tossed a word at us. We had no idea what it was. Yeah, it sounds like crayons and tampons. And I was like, which one did he mean to say? Got it. So they're Called crampons.
Lunchbox
Yeah, and they stick to your shoes so you can walk in the ice. So he wasn't gonna be able to get back down. Had to call emergency people to evacuate him. Five days later, he's like, oh, man, I left my cell phone up there. I gotta go get it. So he climbed up to the mountain, got altitude sickness, dizzy, nauseous, had to call for help and be rescued again.
Amy
Oh, my.
Bobby Bones
Crampons. Huh?
Eddie
Crampons.
Bobby Bones
All that.
Lunchbox
Guys, he had to be rescued from the mountain twice in five days.
Bobby Bones
I know. What a weird name for something. A crampon. Did they not think this sounds too. So much like tampon?
Eddie
I mean, that's what I thought when you first said it.
Amy
Like, where do I put this?
Bobby Bones
Funny, you said frame. He's like, al, this hurts. They're like, no, man, put it on your feet. He's like, man, I don't know how people climb with this thing. This thing hurts bad. Yeah, man.
Lunchbox
You guys lost the whole thing.
Bobby Bones
No, no. That guy was an idiot. The guy was an idiot for sure.
Lunchbox
He went back for his cell phone.
Bobby Bones
I know I've probably done that, but I just think, like, yeah.
Amy
Cause, like, what is he supposed to do?
Eddie
Leave it.
Lunchbox
Get a new one?
Amy
Or maybe if somebody else is hiking, you say, hey, can you grab my phone?
Bobby Bones
Well, you just leave it. You don't put your crampons back on. And can you only wear them at one time of the month, right? Oh, my gosh.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day?
Bobby Bones
Here's a voicemail from Pedro in Texas. Hey, good morning, studio. I just went to the I Heart Country Music Festival. I'm telling you guys, you guys killed it. Bailey Zimmerman, awesome show. And it was nice to see Lunchbox not in a hoodie. There you go.
Eddie
That's true. You didn't wear one.
Bobby Bones
That's later. Later, Graham. That festival, like, a week ago. But we appreciate you calling. Sounds like he was driving from it, though, is the weird thing. He's like, I'm leaving right now. Yeah. Lunchbox was not in a hoodie, so we appreciated that. I think it's because somebody else addressed him other than himself.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I didn't pick out a hoodie. I didn't have my much say in what I wore, so it was a hoodie. I had a hoodie in my bag.
Bobby Bones
Just in case you needed to go.
Lunchbox
Full formal and got told, hoodie's not going to work.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or somebody told him that. Cma, we're done. Thank you. Guys for hanging out. Paris Hilton was on the show today and not really what I expected, but in a great way. I guess maybe I just expected the Paris Hilton that we've grown to know, meaning kind of, you know, the airhead ish type character, but really not that at all for the most part. But then she would kind of laugh like the old Paris Hilton because she'd be like, yes, actually, I'm glad you said that she would do that. So go listen to that up on the podcast for today. Just search for the Bobby Bones show and there's a billboard in town that people think may have been inspired by Amy. Amy doesn't think that, but some people do think that. Go check it out.

Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, Hes Yu Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy. I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you want once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody. Find out if therapy is right for you. Visit betterhelp.com today.

Timestamp: [03:11]
The episode opens with Bobby sharing an astonishing story about a listener from Minnesota, David de Cook, who stumbled upon a remarkable find at Arkansas's Diamond State Park. What initially appeared to be an empty candy wrapper turned out to be a 3.81-carat brown diamond, marking the largest diamond harvested at the park that year.
Bobby Bones: "He was trying to pick up litter. Next thing you know, he's got a diamond in his hand."
[03:25]
The conversation lightens as the crew reminisces about their own unsuccessful attempts to find diamonds, highlighting the sheer luck involved in such discoveries.

A significant portion of the episode revolves around a billboard that some listeners believe was inspired by Amy, one of the show's regulars. Amy recounts a personal incident where a motorcyclist almost collided with her car, resulting in damage to her side-view mirror. Shortly after, a billboard appeared featuring a motorcycle and a message urging drivers to "think twice, save a life."
Bobby Bones: "So, I'm not saying Tdot listens to the show, but they listened to the show."
[21:40]
Amy Warner: "I'm done taking the blame for the story."
[23:00]
The discussion delves into whether Amy's experience influenced the billboard's message. Amy clarifies that the incident was more about the motorcyclist's reckless behavior rather than her driving skills.
Amy Warner: "They assaulted my nervous system because I was... when they hit it."
[24:09]
The segment concludes with playful banter about whether Amy is a "bad driver," emphasizing the show's lighthearted nature.

Transitioning to a more competitive segment, Bobby narrates the chaos surrounding their recent Home Run Derby competition aimed at winning CMA Fest tickets. Hosted by Lunchbox and Morgan, the event faced several hiccups, including field access issues and unexpected weather interruptions.
Lunchbox: "They kept being told to go to different fields."
[45:26]
Despite the setbacks, Lunchbox triumphs, claiming victory with four home runs over eleven pitches. The team celebrates his win, though Amy expresses disappointment and encourages sportsmanship.
Lunchbox: "Morgan, what's up? This is Lunchbox's cousin."
[46:58]
The segment highlights the camaraderie and humorous dynamics among the hosts, culminating in Lunchbox's well-deserved win.

Eddie: "This place was awesome. Circuit City."
[13:25]
The discussion not only celebrates these defunct stores but also reflects on the changing dynamics of retail and consumer habits.

Interspersed with the main topics, the "Good News" segments bring uplifting stories to the forefront. One such story features the Old Colorado City Trash Fairies, a group dedicated to cleaning up neighborhoods after natural disasters.
Eddie: "They collected two tons of trash in one morning."
[16:36]
Another inspiring tale is about William Rogers, a dedicated choir director who, upon reaching 85, is honored by his former students with a special concert celebrating his lifetime of teaching.
Bobby Bones: "If he could really still do it, it's cool regardless."
[30:14]
These segments provide a balance to the show's often humorous and light-hearted content, showcasing community spirit and individual dedication.

Throughout the episode, the hosts delve into various other topics, ranging from debates about whether horse racing qualifies as a sport to discussing the contagiousness of pregnancy in workplaces. These diversions add depth and variety to the show, keeping listeners entertained with a mix of serious and humorous content.
Bobby Bones: "Horses don't know what a sport is or what the sport is."
[57:29]
Bobby Bones: "He was going to make a ton of money off this. It's the largest diamond harvested at the park this year."
[03:28]
Amy Warner: "I agree there's a lot. But phones can get you in trouble because of the connections that young kids can make with people they don't even know."
[09:20]
Lunchbox: "That's a lot of trash. It must have been a big park."
[16:39]
