The Bobby Bones Show – MON PT 2: Bobby’s Bad Sunday, Diet Soda Warnings, Amy Apology, and Raymundo’s Birthday at Garth’s Bar

Air date: September 8, 2025
Host: Bobby Bones & Team | Podcast by: Premiere Networks

Overview

This episode is a classic mix of Bobby Bones’ signature humor, banter, and slice-of-life anecdotes. The team covers a string of personal stories: Bobby’s misadventures in dog parenting and allergies, a viral new study on diet soda and brain health, Amy’s tongue-in-cheek apology to Bobby, and an inside look at Raymundo’s birthday bash at Garth Brooks’ bar. The crew also debates tracking technology for kids and pets, discusses wild relationship stories, tackles the ethics of keeping real human skin tattoos, and breaks down a disturbing true crime documentary "Unknown Number." As always, the group’s rapport keeps things light, even when they pivot to heavier topics.

Segment: [15:08]

5. Football, Coach Crushes, and Salary Comparisons
