This is Paris Hilton, probably unlike you've ever heard her before. Here we go on the Bobby Bones show now.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Paris. How are you?
Paris Hilton
I'm doing great. How are you doing?
Bobby Bones
Pretty good. I was on my for you page this morning, and oddly, and maybe because they knew we were going to talk and they knew everything about us. I was watching the video of Jax, and you were standing with Jax as she was playing a song about you, which I thought was super cool. And I think some of the things that she said was, you know, I talked about your IQ and your advocacy. I thought that was really cool. Who. Who approached who about that?
Paris Hilton
Thank you. Jax came over to do my podcast, and then we just did some cute social videos together, and we've actually been friends for years. She wrote one of the songs on my last album, and I love her. She's just so kind, so sweet, so talented, and I'm so excited she's about to be a mom.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think, too, that showed a lot of what people are now learning about you in different ways. I think for me, what was really cool was when you were testifying on Capitol Hill, talking to Congress, and I think that was a lot of people's introduction to the. The version of you, like the real you that now you want people to see. Is that description a bit accurate?
Paris Hilton
Person that I always was, but it took time for me to become strong enough to be even able to speak about so many things that I went through. But then when I found out that there was hundreds of thousands of children every year from the foster care system being sent to these schools and being abused and dying in the name of treatment, and they had no voice, I knew that I needed to use my voice and do something about it. And I'm so incredibly proud of all of that work. And it's been the most healing experience of my life.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So after you did that, do you feel like there were some changes or at least there were some people that listened that were making decisions that maybe weren't listening before you Testified definitely this.
Paris Hilton
Is something that people have been trying to fight for so many years, but for so long they were ignored and not listened to or just, you know, swept under the rug. But when I came there and kept going back and forth to D.C. and speaking with all these senators and legislators and letting them know what's happening behind closed doors and then also bringing other survivors with me who, you know, had just gotten out of these places just to show that this has been happening for decades and it's something that people have just chosen to ignore for so long, but I come in and shine such a huge light on it that gets all around the world that they can't ignore it or act like it's not happening.
Bobby Bones
Where do you feel like the courage has come from? You mentioned the courage a few minutes ago that the courage that you have now to actually speak as yourself and for yourself for the first time. Where do you think the courage came from?
Paris Hilton
From life experiences. Everything that I've been through in life has made me a very strong woman. And also just finding out and doing so much research and speaking to so many other survivors and just hearing the horrible things that are happening and how it's boomed into this $28 billion a year industry and children are being abused and just. It's just been heartbreaking to hear these stories. So just to know that I can help be the hero that I needed when I was a little girl and make a difference in and these children's and their families lives gives me all the courage in the world.
Bobby Bones
You're an entrepreneur in many ways. And again Jack's highlighted again highlighted it in that video a bit just and not specifically, but the macro version of it. Like so many things that you're doing. Why. Why be so involved in so many things?
Paris Hilton
Success is something that really drives me as well as just creating. And I think also a big part of it is I have ADHD and I will literally hyper focus on things that I love. And I have so many different interests. And yeah, I love doing fashion, I love music, I love entertaining, I love making incredible products. I love using my voice to make a difference. I love just. I don't know, I just, I'm one of those people. I feel like you just, you only live once. You got to make the most of it. And I'm so proud of everything that I'm able to create and bring to the world.
Bobby Bones
Were you good at math in school?
Paris Hilton
Naturally math was with my adhd. Again, it was a class I did not enjoy at all. I was more into drama and art class.
Bobby Bones
I guess I asked that because, again, there's so much that you're doing and again, even making music. Right. It's not just because, again, you are now an accomplished DJ as well. And I think many, many years ago when you started to dj, people were like, oh, that's pretty cool. But now, you know, you do it on such a high level. It's not just, like, slamming songs together. Like, there is really a formula to being a really good dj. I guess that's why I asked a math question, was like, how does your brain work when you're mixing music.
Paris Hilton
That way? It just comes so naturally to me because I love music and I've loved music my entire life. And plus, just years of training of, you know, it's very technical when you're up there, but if you know it very well, you just can hear it right away. So it's just something that I've learned over the years, and I think it's something that would come naturally, but then if I'm in, like, a classroom as a teenager, I was just so bored and just could not pay attention. But if it's something I love to do, yes. And plus, with me, it's something that I would have to work hard to prove myself even harder. Just, you know, being a woman, being, you know, one of the first to, you know, kind of step into this arena. It's always been like a boys club. So, yeah, it feels amazing now to just be traveling and playing at the biggest music festivals all around the world for almost, like 15 years now. And I'm really proud just how people see that I'm the real deal.
Bobby Bones
Do you have, like, a practice, like a mixing station in your house? I have a pickleball court in the backyard, so I go practice pickleball in the backyard. It's close. Do you have one, like, near the kitchen that you just go practice on?
Paris Hilton
I try to just have everything at my house. So I have, like, next to my podcasting studio, there's a recording studio. So I have all my equipment there to record my album, as well as my whole DJ set up with my CDJS and all of my equipment, or I'm trying out new equipment. We'll bring it in. So, yeah, of course, I'm. I'm always practicing my sets and just figuring out my favorite transitions and what I love, and then also creating other remixes and different mashups of, like, my favorite iconic kind of songs from, like, the 2000s, but then bringing in, like, a more futuristic vibe and adding in like epic drops. So that's something that I love to do.
Bobby Bones
Your new podcast, since you didn't mention the studio, it's called My Friend Daisy A murder solved in DMs. So this is a true crime podcast. So this is a real story, right?
Paris Hilton
Yes, this is a true crime podcast.
Bobby Bones
So tell me a bit about the story.
Paris Hilton
Basically, I, my team and I saw this article about it in the Cut, and It's about this 19 year old girl named Daisy Dalo, and she was murdered outside her apartment. And the authorities could not, you know, make an arrest. They could not figure out who it was. And then her friends and family turned to TikTok and literally sparked a viral manhunt that helped track down the killer. And I thought that was amazing just to see this community come together and use digital activism to demand justice. And something that is important to me is giving people who a voice who don't have a voice. And I'm really just proud how hearing from the mother about how much this meant to her and all of her friends for Daisy to not be forgotten and for this man to be held accountable and just to raise awareness also against standing against domestic violence. And I just feel that women's voices are too often gone unheard. So this is something that's really important to me to just advocate for a world where every woman's story matters.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. The podcast is called My Friend Daisy A murder solved in DMs whenever. And I want to go back to you testifying to Congress again. I think one of the memes was that you were just talking in a normal voice, like you're talking with me here. Do you feel that people are a little surprised whenever you're not talking in the old Paris Hilton character voice?
Paris Hilton
Yeah, definitely. I think of people don't know me or they're first getting to know me. They assume, you know, the voice and the character that I played on the Simple Life is how I am in real life. But that's just a character that I created back then because this was the first reality show ever. And the producers basically wanted Nicole to be the troublemaker. Paris, you kind of play the blonde airhead. So. And I think also just growing up, you know, during that time, I always looked up to women like Marilyn Monroe and Pamela Anderson, and they had, you know, this kind of baby breathy voice. And also just with all of the trauma I had been through as a teenager, being abused at these schools, I think it was also a trauma response to that as well, where I kind of just wanted to create this perfect Barbie doll life. And then all of a sudden I get thrown, you know, doing the simple life, and then it becomes like this character that people get to know me for. So, yeah, I think it's just been a part of me for a long time, but it's not who I really am.
Bobby Bones
Did you feel a bit typecast for a while in your early adult life that it was hard to actually not have to be that person?
Paris Hilton
Yeah, for sure. You know, it wasn't until my documentary, this is Paris, where I, you know, started talking about everything in my life that I'd went through. That. That was the first time that people, you know, really got to see me and the person I really was. But before, I think that people just would kind of look at me as almost like this cartoon character. And then now can. People can see there's actually way more to me than I ever spoke about before.
Bobby Bones
Do you think being a mom. Being a mom out a lot of those layers as well?
Paris Hilton
Yeah, definitely. Just growing so much, and I am. My babies are my world, and they just bring me so much happiness. And I'm just really proud that I can finally be the person that I always was and always was meant to be. But now the world can see me for that because there's always been so much more to me, and I've always been underestimated and misunderstood, which I can understand. I was playing a character, and I think people didn't realize that I'm not a dumb blonde. I'm just very good at pretending to be one.
Bobby Bones
Three final questions.
Paris Hilton
Creating that blueprint as well.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I'm sorry to speak over you there. Three final questions. The new remix. If the earth is spinning with Sia, I love Sia. Whenever you do a new remix, do you go and say, hey, hey, I'm gonna do this? Like, how do you actually go through.
Paris Hilton
The process with this remix album? And anytime I do something, I will, a lot of the time just be at different festivals. Or I'll just like, text my friends who are DJs or producers. I'll send them the album and say, like, oh, I'd love for you to do a remix on bba. Or I want you to do this one for Chasen with me and Megan Trainor. The song that Sia and I wrote called adhd. So it's kind of just like thinking in my mind, my friends, which ones, like, which type of remix I want for that. That certain song and just contacting the person. Or also I have my team. They'll Send me a list of like other DJs and producers that they think would be great for, for these tracks. And then I listen to their music, see what I think and give them a yes or no. So yeah, it's just, just like a process of just going through and, and picking the perfect people that I think for each one.
Bobby Bones
I have a question about fragrances because I know again, you, you've built an empire with fragrance. Do you just smell stuff all day long when you're in the middle of this?
Paris Hilton
Yeah, I just actually launched my 30th fragrance and it's called Iconic and I love perfume. I've been in the fragrance industries or this is the 20th anniversary. And yeah, the process is a lot of fun. Just sometimes going over to the perfumery and smelling all these different scents and notes and kind of having fun like mixing things together. But now just after making 30 perfumes, I am definitely a pro. So I know all of my favorite notes and which ones I want to mix together and just create these beautiful fragrances and then designing the bottles and coming up with the names and the campaign and what the photos are going to be like. So that's one of my favorite parts about that is just being creative and then seeing it come to life with this gorgeous bottle and this incredible scent. And I'm just incredibly proud. Just the success of my perfumes.
Bobby Bones
Final question. And again, everybody, my friend Daisy. A murder solved in DMS. Check out the podcast. It is a 10 part series that you can check out. I think it's a, it's true crime. So it's the true story. I loved and still do love. Stars are Blind. Do you still play that? Do you still, you know, are you still proud of it?
Paris Hilton
Thank you. Yes. That song is such a huge part of my life. It's so timeless. It's so iconic. I love that it brings so much happiness to everyone around the world. And I listen to it all the time. I was just on a cover shoot yesterday and they played it probably like 10 times. So people just anytime I'm around as well, or if I walk into like an event or a club or a party or anything, they'll always put it on. And I love performing it also at my concerts. It's always my favorite like finale ending song to perform and I can't wait to perform it at world pride in D.C. coming up next month and then also at out loud at WeHo Pride next month too. So yeah, it's, it's my favorite song in the world.
Bobby Bones
World Pride Festival in D.C. friday, June 6 Paris will be there. Yes, Paris, we really appreciate the time. Thank you so much. And thanks for advocating for the things that you do. You're making a big difference in a lot of lives. So thank you for our time, but mostly thank you for the time you're spending doing things bigger that's bigger than all of us. So I hope you have a great rest of the day and maybe, maybe one day I'll see you soon.
Paris Hilton
I would love that. And thank you for being so kind and lovely and I really appreciate you and I hope to meet you soon.
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
Bye, Paris.
Paris Hilton
Bye, honey.

Eddie
Get your Bobby Bones on.
Bobby Bones
Come on. So have you seen the tick tocks of people zooming in on Megan Maroney when Ella Langley wins the award?
Morgan
No.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Morgan
What? What happened?
Bobby Bones
So ACMs last week really haven't had much time to talk about it. I did not see it in person because I was backstage, but I saw a couple where Megan Maroney, and I'm not sure she's given her side eye or not, but Riley Green and Ella Langley had won for excuse me, you look like you love me a couple times, and the first time they get up and it looks like something's a bit off between those two. Between Riley and Ella Langley. Not even. Not even normal, but, like, off. Morgan, would you. Did you see their dynamics?
Morgan
No, I just.
Paris Hilton
Well, I like the thing that I.
Morgan
Thought was super interesting was she never.
Bobby Bones
Like, went to him the second time. She. Or maybe the first one of the times, she never went to him.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
What do you mean, went to him?
Bobby Bones
They both won and she talked the whole time, and he's just standing back there.
Eddie
Got it, huh?
Bobby Bones
I think it was the second time. I think it was second time, too. But I was not able to watch it all. And then somebody did. And again, I'm not gonna share anybody's business that I know, okay? So I'm just gonna share things that I've seen. It's a delicate place that I'm walking here, but I saw a TikTok too, where someone saw Riley at the airport and somebody with a hoodie right behind him. It looked just like Megan Maroney, like they were getting back in Nashville. That's what it looked like to me. I talked to Riley a bunch that night, too. He was backstage and we were talking about a podcast, and he was like, I've been thinking about taking a. Or, you know, wanting to do, like, outdoor podcasts. I like Riley a lot. I talked to Megan Maroney a lot the night before her, and I were in the, like, the dressing green room because all the artists that were doing the Brooks and Dunn tribute were together and she's freaking hilarious. And we were. It was just me and her and Cody Johnson for like 25 minutes just sitting back there talking. So, yeah, I spent time. I don't know Ella Langley that well. I don't know what the drama is. I can probably guess what the drama is. But yeah, no, they were zooming in on Maroney giving ol Langley the side eye. And like, the ACM did. Did the crowd footage.
Eddie
I don't know anything. You know me. I don't know anything.
Bobby Bones
I will agree. What you're gonna ask is yes.
Eddie
I don't know anything, but did Riley Green and Ella Langley ever, like, officially date?
Bobby Bones
No. Officially, no. Okay, well, no, officially, no.
Lunchbox
No, I'm saying.
Eddie
That's my question.
Lunchbox
No, not officially, but I'm just saying by the pictures of them holding the award, looks like two people that don't want to be around each other.
Bobby Bones
Pictures can be deceiving, though, because you can get anybody in any motion from the motion that they were. They. It seemed a bit off.
Morgan
So I guess Riley once answered the question about them dating. He responded with, ella's too smart to date me.
Eddie
I like it. Open ended. He didn't say no.
Morgan
An answer he had say yes prepared.
Eddie
I like that.
Morgan
That also compliments her, you know?
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Oh, my gosh. I just saw a thing on Tick Tock where they hug after they won, and she looks pissed. She looks.
Bobby Bones
It almost looked like she threw the trophy at him too. And another one, and he acts like he's like. Like about to miss it. There was just a lot of dynamic happening that night.
Morgan
Okay, that might be. I mean, I've been watching lots of tiktoks ever since you brought it up.
Bobby Bones
Like, she unfollowed Megan Maroney too, at some point. Ella Langley did.
Morgan
I saw that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I like Riley a bunch. I like Megan Roney a lot too. I don't know Ella. So I don't have anything good or bad because I don't know her. I'm rooting for him, whomever. I just root for everybody to be happy.
Eddie
That's what we want, happiness.
Bobby Bones
I just want everybody to be happy.
Morgan
Okay. It's weird because, like, she goes in right when she goes to hug him, she sort of has a smile. But when she breaks away from hugging him, she's a little copy. It's almost like she's, like, trying to fake it. And then while she's Hugging him. Something comes over her that's just like disdain.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she's up there and she's talking. I'm watching it now.
Eddie
Send that over, Amy.
Morgan
I'm sending it right now.
Bobby Bones
It's like honor people. She points. She holds the award up. Riley never talks. It's music event of the year too. So it wasn't even just like a riding thing. It's event. It's two people that come together. Anytime there's an event is two artists that like collab, that don't normally collab. And he never says a word.
Morgan
I don't know. Then on stage, they side hug. It seems normal.
Lunchbox
Side hug.
Morgan
Yeah. But they're on stage. He just got done talking.
Eddie
Oh, she did roll her eyes a little bit when she came out of that hug.
Morgan
That hug was nasty.
Bobby Bones
They were showing performances because they had to play that weekend too. In certain places. That song and their body language was like so away from each other. I mean, yeah, Pretty people.
Eddie
I know, right?
Bobby Bones
I'm watching her talk here.
Eddie
Yeah. So much.
Morgan
And then, yeah, Megan Roney's face when it cuts to her.
Lunchbox
So the camera knows what they're doing.
Morgan
Well, no, let me see. They're. They were just showing that. Well, yeah, they definitely zoomed in on her, but I don't know if that's the camera that zoomed in on her or whoever was filming it like on the tv.
Bobby Bones
Also, I've been in the crowd when that camera comes out many times. And you know when it's on you.
Eddie
Is it right up on you?
Bobby Bones
Well, it doesn't matter. It's almost like at a sporting event, you kind of know when the camera is somewhere on you. You don't yet. When you're a nominated for something or they're gonna come to you, it's right on you. Even if it's in the crowd, though, where I was, it's enough on you to know that you need to be again, perfectly nothing, clap and just let life exist. Because it's not worth making any little thing that'll be caught because the sleuths on the Internet are figured all out. Anyway, I saw that. That is a little dramatic, but I get it. I don't know what happened.
Lunchbox
Huh?
Bobby Bones
I mean, I literally don't know what happened. I got a feeling I know things that have happened prior, but I don't know what happened here.
Eddie
Yeah, this is great though.
Bobby Bones
I hope they make it, whomever they is. But that. That tick tock, though, did look like they I saw at the airport did look like Riley and And that's on them for being in public. They know. They know people are going to see them.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I could have swore it was her. Do you see it, Morgan?
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, it sure looks like her. If not her, he has somebody.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Somebody very similar. Yeah. So it could. It could not be her. Yeah. It's a weird place. Worst cities for allergies.
Eddie
Oh, Nashville, Tennessee.
Bobby Bones
We didn't make it.
Eddie
What?
Lunchbox
Austin, Texas, didn't make it. Las Vegas.
Bobby Bones
Okay. What is I going to guess? My cities?
Lunchbox
No, no, it's Las Vegas. I get them bad.
Eddie
That's not true.
Bobby Bones
That's not Las Vegas. Didn't make it either. Wichita, number one. New Orleans. Oklahoma City. Tulsa, Memphis. Little Rock. Raleigh, Richmond. Greenville. Greensboro, North Carolina. Wait, Wichita, like Wichita, Kansas? No, I know there's like, Wichita Falls, Texas. Yeah, but that'd be Wichita Falls.
Morgan
I know.
Lunchbox
I think he would say this.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Morgan
Dang. I never had allergies until I moved to Tennessee.
Bobby Bones
They're bad. Here in Austin, they were really bad.
Eddie
So bad.
Bobby Bones
But I guess they're not the worst. The ten best cities. Boston. It's a lot of cold places for the most part, and elevated places should go there then. Oh, hey, do you want to do. Because we're live right now and it's its own segment, but we should cut this at like 15 minutes and come back and talk about Karen Reed if you want. I've watched it. I've read all about it. I've done the whole thing.
Eddie
I watched it, too.
Bobby Bones
I'm. I went. I went slow. I did red editing. I did everything.
Morgan
I went actually this weekend way deeper because my friend sent me this lawyer that breaks everything down on YouTube.
Bobby Bones
We should talk about it in its own. Its own thing, as. All I'm asking is, do you want to do that later?
Morgan
Sure.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to do it now because a lot of people haven't. Haven't seen it. And it's not even a spoiler, but unless you know the case, you're just not interested in it.
Morgan
Well, you know we love our Boston listeners, right?
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
Shout out.
Eddie
Boston, Massachusetts.
Morgan
Yeah. So that's where I've. I've gotten a lot of messages from Boston people. And she. They're like, this is all we talk about, I'm sure, and they have lots of thoughts.
Eddie
You did more research than the documentary.
Morgan
Yes. So did I. Oh, I didn't.
Bobby Bones
Well, I want to know, because anytime I watch a documentary. Well, the episodes, it was five of them, only 45 minutes, and I watched one a day.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
It's not bad.
Bobby Bones
Traveled. Yeah. It's easy. So I mostly want to know because any sort of docu series. It could be any docu series. It has an individual perspective and it doesn't mean it has to pick a side. But they have their vision for how they want things presented any documentary. So I never want to be totally overwhelmed by one side in a documentary. So I go out and I seek other sides that have created from a different perspective. And I think that's what I did. But we can do a whole separate.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And we'll put it at the end of this podcast. Basically, Karen Reed, they said that she hit her boyfriend who was a cop with her car and he ended up dying in the snow.
Morgan
That's why it's called Body in the Snow.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So there.
Eddie
You have to say it like that. Body in the snow.
Bobby Bones
We'll come back and do that. Don't give your old car to your teenager. From Newsweek.
Morgan
Why?
Bobby Bones
Handing down your old car to your teenager could be a deadly decision. A study found teens are 19, more likely to die in a fatal crash if their car is more than five years old.
Morgan
What I. My daughter's literally driving my car from.
Eddie
And my son's driving a 10 year old car.
Bobby Bones
Here's the problem.
Morgan
20 years.
Bobby Bones
This logic would be then give your kids only new cars for the most part. That's not.
Eddie
We're not doing that.
Bobby Bones
It's. Yeah. Because they're going to wreck it. They don't know how to drive it as well. And also you gotta go buy a new car. That costs money.
Morgan
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So. And you'd be like, well, you have to buy you a new car. Yeah. You know how to drive. So that's a dumb story. Wearable patches will now let you feel the virtual world. Researchers at Northwestern University have created new super thin wearable device patches called haptic patches that will let you fill touch in virtual reality or other other digital settings. The patch is flexible. It sticks to your skin like bandage and it can send different feelings like vibrations, pressure or twisting. The researchers are now making it. I know where I'd put it. The researchers are now working to make it even smaller and wireless for everyday use.
Eddie
Every day.
Morgan
Man. I mean, this is weird.
Bobby Bones
Mostly this would be. Yeah. Getting in VR world and playing games. Right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You get shot and it probably won't hurt as bad. It's like a real bullet. People loved ones in other countries deployed. You communicate a lot of communication with virtual reality. You could do a thing where you can't really touch but you could, in essence, I don't know, cyber touch. Like it. Like.
Lunchbox
Sure.
Bobby Bones
I mean, all this, that'd be cool. But we all know how it's gonna end. It's gonna be all porn.
Morgan
Yes. This is not good.
Bobby Bones
Yes. I mean, they're all. I'm trying to list all the good reasons they're gonna say it's for, but really, in the end, it's just gonna be dudes putting this on.
Lunchbox
Leads to bad spots. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think the one place it probably could do real good is surgeries from far away.
Morgan
I'm sorry, what?
Eddie
Surgeries from far away?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like, you're not there and you need, like an expert in India to do it. Like a. Who's an expert in, I don't know, some crazy part of your neck. And they can touch something and it be on and actually precision light cut. That's cool in a way that you. Because it's going to take them a day to get here.
Morgan
Huh?
Bobby Bones
I think that would probably be a way that it could be used to benefit humanity. I just put it on your wiener.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Or even just like a doctor's visit. I feel like they're always just touching your tonsils. You know, just put them right there.
Bobby Bones
And I guess if you could get that feel back. You put the patch because.
Morgan
Are you getting information?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So you put the patch on. On a. On a bump or a lump or something and the doctor can feel it based on that. Sure. There's a lot of medical. Yeah, but again.
Eddie
But mostly wiener.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah.
Morgan
Let's hope not.
Bobby Bones
I mean, there's no hope. That's probably why they invented it. And then they had to figure out ways to make it actually be good for the game.
Morgan
Yeah, but not y' all. Y' all.
Eddie
No, no, no.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't. I wouldn't put that. I think it'd burn it. It's not even, like, not worth the risk. Yeah. I'm not doing v1 of it. I'm gonna let that thing have a few different versions.
Morgan
Oh, gosh. People are gonna be like, going to the er. They're like, my patch.
Bobby Bones
My patch.
Eddie
Yeah. Got stuck.
Bobby Bones
Here's a voicemail from Ryan in Port Orange, Florida. Did a great job on tv. Just wanted to let you know, stellar performance. Had me laughing all night. Really enjoyed it. Could you tell me what is your highlight of the moment?
Eddie
And that shock ya?
Bobby Bones
That makes you sad? Make you happy? Did you? Everything in between. I don't know. Just wanted to see if you could tell us something we didn't see on tv. That is worth hearing. Can't wait to have you guys on the radio tomorrow. Thank you, Ryan. Sure. When I did the ACMs, they were like, hey, you're gonna go out like three or four times and do this stuff? And I'm like, what stuff? They're like, I do whatever you want. I'm like, well, is there any sort of roadmap? They're like, nah, just go and do your stuff. I don't really know what your stuff is, but. Got it. And so I also was on standby at any point, everything broke and that happened, and that never happens. And so I also thought if everything broke, they would have a camera that was mobile, that I could go and actually talk to people, which makes it a lot easier. But. But they did, and they were like, something's broke. You gotta go to the jib camera on the right, which means I'm in the corner of the whole room and I can't go anywhere. And they're like, you gotta be over there in 12 seconds. And I'm like, all right. So I walked down and they're like, go. There's no timer on anything. There's nothing in the prompter. And they're just like, start talking. And so I did. I just talked and.
Eddie
About what? What'd you say?
Bobby Bones
I said, my initial instinct with any situation like that is, one, don't freak out. Two, tease ahead. And as I'm teasing ahead, think about what I'm going to talk about. So I start teasing ahead. I'm like, hey. Coming up, Rascal Flats and Backstreet Boys are together. And at the same time, I'm teasing ahead. I'm also looking around my surroundings that it's close. And so I had told Tom, who is, like, part of my management team, hey, when this thing breaks, go get Lionel Richie. Because I knew where he was. And I had a bit planned for Lionel in my pocket. I had one of those hello name tags. Hello, I am.
Eddie
Yeah, that's funny.
Morgan
Oh, for. Like, hello.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
Yeah. This song, Amy.
Morgan
Yeah, that's funny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so I had that ready going through, and I was like, just go get Lionel if it breaks. So Tom goes to get Lionel as I'm in the middle of just creating space. Killer. And he says, as Lionel's getting. Because I know Lionel. And as Lionel's getting up, because Tom goes, hey, Bobby needs you. The camera's broken. He wants to do some, like, last minute. And Lionel's like, great. Jerry Jones grabs. Lionel's like, lionel, let me introduce you. To my family right as they're getting up. So Lionel never comes over because Jerry Jones, like, grabbed him and just started introducing him to all, like, his family and stuff. Oh, no. So I went on for, like, a minute, which is an eternity when you don't know when it's ending. And it was fine. I think I grabbed Matthew Ramsey from Old Dominion. There was another time where they're like, hey, walk through the crowd. We'll give you two points of business. One of them was acknowledging a winner here. One of them was acknowledging something here. And it was a minute, 10 seconds, which is a long time for a live hit. And at about a minute, because I don't have an earpiece in. I have a producer behind the camera. She goes, at a minute. And so I'm about to rap.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
And I'm like, all right, so what do I do? I just start walking, and I do have a mobile camera, and this woman walks up in a full leopard print bodysuit, and I'm like, holy crap, real leopard. How about 100 of those versus one man or something like that, Whatever that meme was. Yeah. And I make that joke, and then I'm just in full roast mode, and I see a bunch of people in cowboy hats, and I'm like, then there's a group of people that's never worn a cowboy hat before tonight. So I'm just looking for anything to. To comment on. But that happened a couple times where they were just like, go. And that's really why they have me out there. Not just to go out into the crowd and show artists, which was part of it, but if something breaks or if they need more time, just continue to keep going. And so it was good. It was good in that I never. I don't freak out now. Like, I'm comfortable. I have three paths in my head. The path that I've created, that if everything goes right, when I go do this segment, this person's gonna be in this seat, this person's gonna be in that seat. And that almost never happened. Only once it happened the correct way. The second one is, if that doesn't happen, I can do this. And the third one is worst case scenario. So I usually have three plans in my mind. And most of them were plan one, some of them were plan two, only one of them was plan three. So it was pretty good. I did get a smucker's jar of jelly, and I was gonna have jelly roll assigned the jelly just to be funny. And so I marked off the smuckers because I didn't want a logo on screen in case they were like, yeah, you're bad. Once I got in trouble for handing out fake ACMs to people and they're like, you shouldn't give out awards. Oh, yeah, I did that at the show. I was doing that on the show. I didn't go, oh, yeah. I thought it was a funny bit. I was giving up for ridiculous awards. And so I was passing out fake ACMs for the prop ACMs, and I can't do that. So who knows? Because they don't tell me what to do. They don't tell me what not to do. They only tell me what not to do when I do it wrong.
Eddie
That's tough.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I go out and I have this muckers jealousy jelly roll. And he's trying to walk off before because as soon as the commercial comes on, everybody gets up and they're like, go, go, go. So I grab jelly and I'm like, hey, before you go, I never get to be a fan. Sign this jelly. And so he gives me the jelly and I'm walking through. And I don't really know where Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are, but I'm supposed to say that Keith Urban's winning an award later. And I see Keith back behind me and I go back and hug him and I give Nicole the jelly and she was really funny about it. And so I have this jelly roll signed jelly. I took it back from Nicole. I'm like, you don't have to keep that. And some photographer comes up to me, goes, hey, let me take a picture of that. And he takes it from my hand. I never saw it again. What they say? Stole it from me. The whole night I was looking for my jelly.
Eddie
It's on ebay.
Bobby Bones
He literally stole the jelly and ran off with it.
Morgan
No way.
Bobby Bones
The jelly roll signed Jelly. He's never signed jelly before.
Eddie
One of one.
Morgan
A photographer. I thought it was for, you know.
Bobby Bones
No, no. He dressed all in black. So I thought it was a TV producer because they all are in black because they try to blend in. And he grabs and goes, hey, when you take a picture of this, I thought it was a TV producer and they wanted something for like socials or. And I was like, okay. And so I go to walk and then all of a sudden he's gone with my jelly. So if you see Ed Smuckers smushed out, blacked out jelly roll, sign Jelly, that's mine. So that. That happened.
Morgan
That was funny.
Bobby Bones
Couldn't get it back.
Morgan
Maybe Message John Cheer, you know?
Eddie
Yeah, he was there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, he was there. But he wasn't like on.
Morgan
He's not like.
Bobby Bones
He wasn't like in the set.
Morgan
Oh, I was just like, do they have like a photographer group? He'd be like, who has the jelly?
Bobby Bones
He can go in the photographer Dark web. So that happened. I should do a whole. Just because a lot. The Brooks and Dunn thing was. It was really cool. The gal. I hosted it on Wednesday night, the night before. And it was cool because everybody came up and did one song. I told jokes, but.
Morgan
Oh, yeah, how did. How did the jokes go?
Bobby Bones
Good, Good.
Morgan
You didn't. You took it to the right line.
Bobby Bones
It's a. I'll talk about it in a separate. Separate deal.
Eddie
But my heart just stopped.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Eddie
I got an ebay. I did a Google search and said, ebay. Jelly Roll signed and it was a cd.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Jelly. Oh, Jelly Roll signed Jelly.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what I thought it was gonna say. But it's a cd.
Bobby Bones
The people that came up and played one song was. It was Laney, Eric Church, Keith Urban, Zach Top, Cody Johnson. And then everybody played Brooks and done. It was pretty awesome because they all did Brooks and Dunn songs.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think he's already. Yeah, it was really good. So there's some behind the scenes.
Eddie
Do the cowboys guys out there?
Bobby Bones
Nope. I only saw the cowboys because they were practicing when we were there on Wednesday or Thursday outside the hotel.
Eddie
How did they look? Good.
Bobby Bones
It was all rookie. I told you. I saw Dak.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then he goes, what was he wearing? I said, a sling. He was limping. He had an eye patch on, a boo jerk. All that. But yeah, it's good. Okay, thank you for the voicemail there.

Eddie
Say bye.
Bobby Bones
Nah. Well, just on the you. Yeah, yeah, keep the podcast going.
Eddie
We are clear.
Bobby Bones
And then Morgan on the YouTube just label it and it's re a D which is a weird way to spell read, right?
Eddie
I thought my captions was misspelling it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it almost looks like Karen Read.
Morgan
Yes, I was curious if it was which way it went.
Bobby Bones
It's read I would put well the.
Eddie
Whole name of it.
Bobby Bones
The title is Karen Reed Trial discussion. As the.
Eddie
Oh man, I have so much here. This is so Good.
Bobby Bones
And so if you guys don't know, if you go over to Max, it's called A Body in the Snow, the Trial of Karen Reed. And I'll read you what it says here because there's really no spoiler because it's a news story. On a cold January morning in a sleepy suburb outside of the city, a local police officer named John o' Keefe was found dead on a fellow officer's front lawn. Let me know when we're back up. Excuse me. And we'll do opening statements. Okay, so these are our opening statements on the Karen retrial. You want to go first? Amy, you have one minute.
Morgan
Opening statements.
Bobby Bones
Go.
Morgan
I. This type of situation confirms exactly why I couldn't. I wouldn't do well on a. A jury because whoever is the last person to speak, I'm like, oh, they. They did it or they didn't do it? Like, I. I just. I go back and forth all the time. I do find it suspicious. Like the suspicious. The. The police officer that got rid of his SIM card and stuff like that. And then also the other police officer that got rid of his dog. Those things are all just very confusing. And then. And then the woman that's like, how long does it take a body to die in the cold? Like, all that stuff is so suspicious.
Bobby Bones
Suspicious.
Morgan
But then you have Karen, who's like, I hit him.
Bobby Bones
I hit him.
Morgan
I hit him.
Paris Hilton
So.
Morgan
So I'm like, I don't know who to believe. I don't know what to do. There's just so much suspicion.
Bobby Bones
Suspicious. Okay, time.
Morgan
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I think you bring up a lot of great points. First of all, if I'm a juror, there was no way I was convicting her. Because even if she did it, the prosecution did a terrible job. They could not have done a worse job at without a shadow of a doubt her being guilty.
Eddie
Right.
Morgan
It's just some of the things that happen. That happened.
Bobby Bones
I was just giving you background. Background.
Morgan
We're not allowed to talk.
Bobby Bones
Sorry, I forgot my opening statement. There is no chance that she should have been found guilty in that trial. I'm not saying she didn't do it, but there's no chance. They bumbled and fumbled their way to losing that. And even the prosecutor, who runs out of time, he's up there and he's going. And 0.32. Your counsel, you have one minute. Point dot two. And the blood. Council, you have 10 seconds. And I think council, time. Can I have 10 more seconds? Okay, I'll grant it. She did it.
Eddie
And it's like, dude, that's so bad.
Bobby Bones
That's so. And I'll tell you if I think she did it or not, but there's no way they could have convicted her because they. And when they're reading the text, those cops were too close to the situation. They were too involved. It was too shady for that to be a conviction. You can't have people that are super involved with the people also be involved with the case. My time is up. I now cede over to Eddie. You have one minute.
Eddie
I think whoever made this documentary did a really good job at trying to make us confused at who we think did it.
Bobby Bones
That's a great documentary, then, because that means they're not pushing from one side.
Eddie
Yeah. I think majority.
Bobby Bones
I talked during your time. Sorry.
Eddie
No, you're good. I think majority of the time, you start saying, oh, they're trying to protect her, or they're trying to make these cops, you know, the. The bad guys or whatever. An inside job, if you will. But they did a really good job at keeping it neutral. Where, like, oh, like Amy said, one day, you. One episode, you're like, she definitely did it. The next episode is like, wait a second. That's not that easy. So I like that aspect of it. However, I have no doubt in my mind who did it.
Morgan
You have no doubt.
Bobby Bones
You have 10 seconds if you want to.
Eddie
No doubt in my mind.
Bobby Bones
Shoot your load now that she did it.
Eddie
Like, no. Would I have convicted her? I don't think I have enough evidence. I don't think I have enough evidence to convict her, but no doubt in my mind she did it. Okay, Judge, can I have 10 more seconds?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, go ahead. She did it. Okay. You're good. Yeah. Yeah. Prosecution totally sucked.
Eddie
What about that witness? The. The. The testimony of the. The guy. The.
Morgan
The snowplow driver.
Eddie
No, not the slow plow driver. The guy that really couldn't even say a sentence. He was so nervous.
Morgan
Oh, the. The.
Bobby Bones
Oh, the guy with no degree.
Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
In physics. The guy with chemistry.
Eddie
And he's so bad for him.
Morgan
When her lawyer was asking him about whether or not the body flew or.
Bobby Bones
Not, he's like, so it flew through the air. Possibly he's drinking water. So she, you know, she easily probably did it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Really?
Bobby Bones
I don't know that she did or didn't. I'm not even assigned to thinking that she did or didn't do it. I'm assigned to thinking the prosecution sucked so bad. And then how do you retry that, knowing that all your cops that were in it are gonna get brought right back up and embarrassed again. Cause that's exactly what happened.
Eddie
Oh, gosh, those text messages.
Bobby Bones
The text messages between one the DEA agent where she was like. She texted him, she goes, you're hot. And he's like, the friend of the guy who died.
Morgan
Really?
Bobby Bones
And he's like, so am I. I'm like, real. I'm like, what?
Eddie
He is.
Bobby Bones
So that part was weird. But the cringier part was when the copy. One of the head cops was having to, like, read when he called her the C word. Like, he's the one that's doing the investigation, like, 12 hours after they started. He's calling her a C word. She has no butt, saying she's hot, but has no A. Yeah, yeah, that was.
Eddie
That's so embarrassing.
Bobby Bones
But all that's gonna get brought up again in the next trial. And with that alone, there's so much, like, odd bias there that she'll never get convicted.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So she'll never get convicted. And the one thing I'm thinking about the whole time as it's happening is her legal bills. I'm thinking, like, yeah. I'm thinking, like, every hour that they're all just chilling, hanging out, I'm like, that's three people. Hourly. Hourly the whole time. I'm like, how do I get out of that? What's my budget on. On. And how did she get her money to do it?
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Also, I know eventually you kind of just have to get past that. Your. Your boyfriend died. I mean, your boyfriend died. It's tragic. It's. It's hard as viewers sometimes we're watching when they, like. I know they need to celebrate because her life is on the line now. And let's just say she is innocent. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
But when she's not innocent, she's not innocent.
Morgan
How do you know that? You don't know that.
Bobby Bones
Well, we can't say that because I said.
Morgan
Let's just say. Okay, fine. In my mind, I have to say she didn't do it. Right. I'm saying in my mind right now, if she didn't do it. Gosh, if she did. And they're celebrating the way they do. But sometimes when they, like, get in the car and they, like, high five and, like. Yeah. Like, it just all feels weird because I'm like, somebody's still died.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't feel that way at all. You don't? No.
Morgan
Because, like, I do.
Eddie
If your girlfriend died, like, I know you're fighting for your life, but at the same time you gotta feel sad for the death of your girlfriend.
Bobby Bones
But she said herself. She mourned it. Yeah, no, no, she mourned it. That's also three or four years ago. And now she could go to jail for the rest of her life. You don't think you're celebrating with your lawyers?
Morgan
Yes.
Bobby Bones
If you had a great day, I'd be like, celebrating. You're not. You're not eternally sad during the whole. During the whole case. You're not.
Morgan
I agree with you. What I'm saying is, as a viewer, it's just hard to watch the celebrations.
Bobby Bones
Oh, not for me. I was like, I'd be celebrating too. Like, we had a great day. And here's where I get a bit lost in the. I would say in the motivations of the people. Because you have pink team and blue team, basically, you have pink team that's pro Karen Reed and blue team, that's pro police officers. And it's just not that. Because they're like, justice for John. Justice for John would be finding the killer, not just making Karen Reed the killer.
Morgan
Right.
Bobby Bones
And they assigned so much of it. Like, the only way John can have justice is if Karen Reed is found guilty of murder. That's not justice for John.
Morgan
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
Justice for John is finding the person who did this. And they have completely shut off any idea it's anyone other than Karen Reed, which is so unfair to John. If you're really caring about John's memory, justice for John isn't. It must be Karen Reed. It is. We must find out who did it. And I feel like that's a really unfair way to divide teams because justice for John is not Karen did it. Justice for John is he died tragically. And how do we find out who did it?
Morgan
Yeah. And if his girlfriend didn't do it, he's not gonna want his girlfriend going to jail for.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And they're weaponizing justice for John to be just against Karen, which I didn't think was fair.
Morgan
Okay. Do you think now I'm saying she. In my mind, she did do it. So this is where I'm coming from. Would you like those phone calls where she's like, you're call me back.
Bobby Bones
You're. I didn't think those weird at all.
Morgan
You're hooking. I know they're not weird. But if she did do it, do you think she's like, oh, I better call him a bunch over and over and accuse him of being with another woman? Because if I just killed him or left him in the Snow to die. I wouldn't. I wouldn't do this. So I'm gonna do, like, premeditated.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm gonna say why, that all this wasn't premeditated. Because you can't pre. That the blizzard's happening. Yeah, it's like they're saying she backed into that car. Premeditated. You're acting like she did this all accidentally in the snow and then went home. And she wasn't out of her mind because it wasn't premeditated.
Morgan
Right. No, no, no. Sorry.
Bobby Bones
Hold on. Let me talk. Let me finish up. No, you're jumping in on what I'm.
Morgan
Saying, but you're answering what I'm saying, and I said it wrong. Overruled.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Eddie
No problem.
Bobby Bones
To be premeditated, it all had to be planned. Meaning all the circumstances would need to be static in how you've planned them for the most part. They need to happen, and you need to follow through with the plan. This was not planned, so it wasn't premeditated. So let's say she hits him, he's in the snow dying. She doesn't have a plan. She's not thinking clearly. To go and do. I'm gonna. Okay, first thing I'm doing is I'm gonna back into another car and bust a tail light. Now what I'm doing is call him over and over and over again so it seems like. No, she's out of her mind.
Eddie
Oh, I thought she would.
Bobby Bones
No, no, that. That is next level. Somebody who's planned it all. If it is premeditated, you've planned it all. There were so many elements of this that could not have been predicted. That there. I feel like there's no way. All of that was premeditated.
Eddie
So do you think she.
Bobby Bones
Premeditated. Not the word. All of that was planned after the accident happened.
Morgan
Okay. Thank you. That's the word I was looking for.
Eddie
Do you think she broke the tail light on that car?
Bobby Bones
Yes, absolutely.
Eddie
That's the only way she broke it.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. The fact that those cops were behind that tail light in that video.
Eddie
The flip. The flip.
Bobby Bones
And that dude was just standing there.
Eddie
And the fact that the prosecution reversed that image on purpose to make you think that it was the other side of the car. That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. It's so. It's so shady. The fact they didn't go in the guy's house, the dog bite marks on the arm. And you could go, well, maybe it wasn't a dog bite. They couldn't find DNA first of all, they had an expert because they got battle, the experts. There one goes, there's no DNA from the dog experts. And then the other one's like, no, this is very consistent with dog bites. I can show you the different parts. There's a bridge in the mouth of the dog and that cop got rid of the dog. That's freaking crazy. Same cop that got rid of a SIM card?
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
He drove to a military base through his SIM card.
Morgan
The dog cop and the SIM card cop are two different people.
Eddie
No, same dude.
Bobby Bones
No dude, you said that earlier. We told you that. And you kept going.
Eddie
Same guy.
Bobby Bones
Same guy.
Eddie
He's the owner of the house.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the gray beard, the bald dude. Okay, who is. And apparently they butt dialed each other over and over again.
Eddie
Six times.
Bobby Bones
Six times after the murder.
Morgan
So did you get that many people together in cahoots?
Bobby Bones
Well, I would say no, generally. But the fact that they were all connected to the police force, that if there is a line through which there is the police force and the line through could be many things. I think yes, they could been kahooti. But I think some of those people weren't lying on the stand because they never saw him. He didn't go all the way in the house because some people were like, we never saw him because he got.
Eddie
Hit by the car in the front yard.
Bobby Bones
I don't think he got hit by the car because even that expert said if he got hit by a car and like sideswiped, that doesn't happen. It doesn't even hurt you that bad.
Eddie
Well, they found his cocktail glass there, which they think is the one he had from the bar. And they said, well, the guy that was stuttering said that the car went 24 hours.
Bobby Bones
The guy that was stuttering was terrible. You can't use. He doesn't.
Eddie
Can't use anything.
Bobby Bones
He wasn't even an expert. He was just a guy on the stand because they were like, what, he.
Eddie
Works for the police?
Bobby Bones
But they were like, what degree do you have to talk about the physics of this? And he goes, I don't have an associate's, unlike criminology. And they were like, okay, we rest our case or whatever.
Eddie
I mean, the defense is good at throwing out all kinds of theories, like. Right. Like just to kind of make you think somewhere else, put your mind at a different place. Like, they did a really good job.
Bobby Bones
But they backed them all up. I feel like they backed them all up.
Eddie
The one that got me though was the Google search.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Eddie
Like I got so hook line and Sinker with a Google search. She the girl? What's her name? Jen. Whatever. A friend of the cops googled. At 2:40 in the morning. How long does a body stay alive in the cold?
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Eddie
Right. Whoa. She's definitely part of it then they.
Bobby Bones
Clarify, but they didn't know because they don't clarify the battle of the experts. The other one said, nope, not same operating system would not have done that with a different operating system.
Eddie
People whenever like a certain.
Bobby Bones
But you're using one so you have to use both if you're going to use one.
Eddie
I know, but whenever a party brings in an expert, it's like, are they really an expert? That's like, let me bring Bobby Bones here. An expert in.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'd have to have some sort of credentials in that though the other guy didn't. The expert the prosecution brought in was terrible for that. But they both brought in somebody that were. That were specialists in Internet like forensics.
Eddie
So you do think she googled at 2:40 in the morning. How long does the body.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Stay alive in the cold?
Bobby Bones
I do. And she misspelled. I was so embarrassed for her. She missed it every time. Ho like three times. That's like crap out of done. I the more I don't think she did it. I don't think she did it.
Eddie
I think, I think it was an accident.
Morgan
I think I don't know.
Bobby Bones
And she also said she never said I hit him. The only people saying that are the same people that are all in cahoots.
Eddie
To begin with did say did I hit him? Did I hit him? Did I hit him?
Bobby Bones
That's different than saying I didn't even say that though.
Eddie
I wouldn't even.
Bobby Bones
Because again you're freaking out. And according to your logic earlier, if it's totally premeditated and she was able to do all this stuff and think about it and she would have never said anything like that but because it was a total freak out the whole time there's all kinds of stuff spraying around.
Eddie
And then no one saw the body in the yard except her because she knew where it was. She was the only one that spotted it.
Bobby Bones
There was a big lump in the yard. That part was weird. Prosecution sucked. I don't think she did it. And you're right though.
Eddie
She's not going to jail. Like they can't convict her.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No way.
Eddie
They can't.
Bobby Bones
Too many cops are doing too many weird things for it to be a conviction.
Eddie
But if they don't convict her and they can't ever find the Killer or who it. Whoever it is. I mean, I'm still gonna side on my decision.
Bobby Bones
What decision?
Eddie
That she's the one. I think it was an accident. And then she freaked out. She didn't know how to deal with it, so she started saying. All right, that's why she went home by herself for a few hours. Did all the.
Bobby Bones
They were all drunk, though. Everybody was drunk. That was very. They met, they counted the drinks. Everybody had. They were all wasted.
Eddie
She says she had like five drinks.
Bobby Bones
But even if she did it and didn't know, that's not second degree murder, right?
Morgan
Yeah, no, it's not.
Bobby Bones
So. So she didn't do it in your mind, like they're saying, like they're trying her.
Eddie
I think she was an accident. Right. That was the initial one. What was the initial arrest?
Bobby Bones
But also his DNA would have been all over that car.
Eddie
There was a little hair.
Bobby Bones
No, there was one single hair in the same spot where that tail light was.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And they were like, how does a single hair stay there?
Eddie
They transported like 40 miles.
Bobby Bones
Exactly. And they were. They were right behind it. Yet they had nothing on her. Did nothing on her. So there's no way she's guilty now. She might have done it, but there's no way she's found guilty ever.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Can I ask a question?
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox
Eddie. So you say she did it, right?
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
So can you tell me. I mean, I haven't seen it all, so I don't know. Why did the cop get rid of his SIM card and the dog then? If you are presenting the case and you're saying she did it, but he did all this shady stuff, why did he do that?
Eddie
According to his testimony, he had some unwanted caller that he was trying to get rid of, some stalker or something that he just decided to get rid of the phone, get rid of the.
Bobby Bones
SIM card the day before they came to get the phones. Right.
Morgan
And he did it on a military.
Bobby Bones
Base where nobody can go through the.
Eddie
Garbage per his testimony.
Bobby Bones
Right, Right.
Eddie
But I'm saying again, though, like, like, like there could be all kinds of texts in there, conversations of them just talking that could be taken the wrong way.
Bobby Bones
Why would you throw your phone away the day before if you have, you.
Lunchbox
Know, they are looking at you and they're going to come, like, looking, and why get rid of the dog?
Bobby Bones
And why get rid of the dog when you.
Lunchbox
Yeah, like, how often do you get rid of a dog when it dies?
Bobby Bones
I didn't die.
Lunchbox
No, I'm saying.
Eddie
That's what I'm saying.
Lunchbox
But when do you get rid of a dog? Usually when it dies. Not when a police investigation is going on. You don't all of a sudden just get rid of your dog for no reason.
Eddie
There's just had a rehome her testimony.
Lunchbox
Right, but why would you rehome it?
Bobby Bones
But.
Morgan
But also very convenient. I did just confirm. I think maybe there's confusion about these guys because they're both named Brian, but they are two different police officers. There is Brian Higgins and then Brian Albert. Brian Albert.
Bobby Bones
Albert. Albert's the only goatee, and he's the.
Morgan
One that got rid of the dog.
Eddie
And the SIM card.
Morgan
They both have goatees. Guys, I'm looking at them.
Eddie
Okay? One of them has part on his hair.
Bobby Bones
Oh, dude, that's weird Hairdo.
Eddie
One that stay flirted.
Morgan
Okay, the flirt, flirty one got rid of the SIM card.
Bobby Bones
No, because they had his phone. They had his phone. How would they have his phone and SIM card?
Eddie
Are you looking that up because.
Morgan
Yes, I'm looking at them on Court TV right now. There's Brian Albert and Brian Higgins. They look similar. One of them's bald, though. When the bald one is the homeowner.
Bobby Bones
That got rid of the dog. Her phone is probably how they got those.
Morgan
Yeah, yeah. I'm just. I'm just clarifying for anybody else that's listening right now, that's like you're two different guys.
Eddie
You might be right.
Bobby Bones
But still, they both did it. They bought one got rid of a phone, one got rid of a dog. Two things that were they needed in this case.
Eddie
Her testimony is just weird because she has no idea what happened. She thinks he went in the house and then never came out.
Bobby Bones
She was drunk.
Morgan
Yeah, but, Eddie, there's plenty of times where you've had plenty to too much to drink and you're like, I don't know.
Eddie
I don't remember what happened. I was dreaming that I was in the bathroom.
Lunchbox
But you've never blacked out like you. You do things all the time like, that happened.
Eddie
No, for sure I have.
Bobby Bones
But I think the fact that she questioned it openly made me feel like she was telling the truth. Because if you were lying, you wouldn't be like, I was drinking. I don't know if I did or not. If you were lying, I would not even hint at the fact. It could be a possibility that I didn't remember. But if you were telling the truth, there's nothing to hide in the truth.
Eddie
And they were fighting earlier that day.
Bobby Bones
No, but I'm countering what you just said. And you just, like, scooted past that.
Eddie
Yeah, because they were fighting earlier that day.
Bobby Bones
They fought all the time. And who doesn't? They weren't even married.
Morgan
I don't think they were that serious. If she was texting that Brian guy.
Bobby Bones
Dude. That Brian dude was not hot, by the way. They're like, you're.
Eddie
Of course there's, like, stuff going on.
Bobby Bones
But I want to. But I want to say again, because you're like. She was like, I did it. And she never said, I hit him.
Eddie
I said, did I hit him? Did I hit him? Did I hit him?
Bobby Bones
And she did I hit him? I don't know.
Eddie
Did I hit him?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Eddie
Did I? Did I?
Bobby Bones
And if you did it.
Eddie
Yes. If I said that, you'd be like, why do you keep saying that?
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't. I would think you were in a state of freaking shock and your boyfriend's dead. Yeah. If I were premeditated, even if I were mid meditating, like, it happened, and now I got to figure out, I would not say anything about hitting him. That would be the absolute worst possible thing you could do if you had your wit. No, no, no. At that point, she's not. It's five hours later.
Morgan
Bobbi just coined it. Bobbi just gave it a name. That's a good name for it. Mid meditated.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because if she's figuring it out as it's going, you don't go back and even include you in any part of it because you're doing things to not include you. You're thinking about it already. If you're. According to your theory, you break your light on purpose. You're making those calls on purpose. You don't go back and be like, did I do it? You just go and be shocked. Because you're playing a game anyway. You're just playing a role.
Eddie
But what if you think there's an but, you know, possibility that there's cameras and they might see her did it, but she wants to make it look.
Bobby Bones
Like it was actually used, that it was. You were drunk.
Eddie
Right. But then you still are saying, like, did I do it? I don't know. I don't know. Did I do it?
Bobby Bones
If she were.
Eddie
I might have done it.
Bobby Bones
If she were lying, I think she would have said nothing. Because you don't say anything. You're just shocked. If you're telling the truth, like she is, you show your vulnerabilities in it, which she did. She had nothing to hide. So she's saying, like, I don't know. I was Drunk. Who knows what happened. You don't do that if you're lying.
Eddie
I see what you're saying.
Bobby Bones
You're the guy that hung the jury. It's a guy like Eddie who everything is, like, right there. And he's still like. No, I'm. I'm married to the.
Eddie
But what would you. What would you say as a juror?
Bobby Bones
Not guilty.
Morgan
Because you can't say that with a. There's no. There's no reason.
Bobby Bones
Somebody is still saying guilty. Somebody is still saying guilty. They're not like. Well, we don't know. Jury gets hung because you have people saying guilty and people saying not guilty. So you have somebody. One, two, three.
Morgan
Right. That's Eddie still.
Bobby Bones
Yes, because there's no reason for him to think guilty.
Morgan
Because honestly, we don't. I'm not saying I know who did it. I'm saying I don't know. But there's no way I could have said for sure she's guilty. So.
Bobby Bones
No way. I agree.
Morgan
Yeah. Eddie's the guy that's like.
Bobby Bones
Eddie's the guy.
Morgan
Yeah, you're the guy.
Eddie
She's guilty.
Bobby Bones
You're the guy. You have no reason to think that if you're looking at the evidence, she. Listen, she might have done it. And I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm saying.
Morgan
Right.
Bobby Bones
She has to be found not guilty.
Eddie
There's no other evidence. No other evidence of a dog attacking. No other. But nothing. It's all hearsay. The. The one evidence that we do have and I. Hearsay.
Morgan
There's marks on his arm.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, and.
Eddie
But.
Bobby Bones
And there's a. No, no. And there's an expert that specializes. That wrote books on dog bites.
Morgan
And then there's a dog missing.
Bobby Bones
And there's a missing dog.
Lunchbox
The dog is gone.
Eddie
Lunchbox you haven't watched.
Lunchbox
I know, but just hearing.
Bobby Bones
But the dog is gone and there's an expert brought in to go. These are dog marks.
Eddie
There's also an expert that brought in and says these are not dogmas.
Bobby Bones
No, that's not true.
Morgan
Then what are they?
Bobby Bones
No, no, the expert did not say they weren't dog marks. The expert said that their test showed. Not that there wasn't DNA, but they didn't find any. They found pig DNA. So you're wrong on that, too.
Eddie
You would get DNA from bacon. Her nails could have bacon in them.
Morgan
No, the dog could have eaten a.
Bobby Bones
Bacon in the face. Eddie's the guy that hung the jury.
Eddie
But see, where did they come up with bacon? In a treat like all Of a sudden, like.
Bobby Bones
So would you say where it came up with. It's because she said there was pig DNA. Did you watch this?
Eddie
No, I did. What I'm saying. No, stop. What I'm saying, like, the defense is so good at being like, okay, bacon, bacon. Think, think, think. Oh, treats have bacon in it. Like, could have been. Could it have been pepperoni?
Bobby Bones
It could.
Eddie
That's a good lawyer. Doesn't mean that she's innocent, but it.
Morgan
Doesn'T mean she's guilty.
Bobby Bones
But none of us are fighting that she's innocent. We're saying she absolutely had to be found not guilty.
Paris Hilton
No.
Bobby Bones
And you're screaming she's guilty. And every point that you've made, we've countered it with actual reasonable reason as to why that shouldn't be the reason you think she's guilty.
Morgan
But this is what's happening in America, guys. Everybody's divided over this case. People think she's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you have to make sure it's like, you know, pick dumb people.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Did you just call me dumb in this situation? Yeah. No, because she might have done it. But there's zero chance you can find her guilty. There's no chance. Because everything you're using as a reason, there's an actual expert that goes, well, that's not true.
Morgan
So let me ask you this, Bobby. Do you think on the Google search.
Bobby Bones
Thing, I mean, she probably did it, but. No, no, I know, I know, I know. Yeah, yeah, but. But she's not guilty.
Morgan
Because I was trying to think, what if we were in that situation? It would suck so bad to be accused of killing your boyfriend when you didn't do it. And now everyone's like, yeah. Oh, terrible. So anyway, but the Google search of the. How long does it take a body to die in the snow? And like, how if you use the same page, like, you know, if you don't go to a new page, the tab that. That's a thing, like, you can.
Bobby Bones
It is for a certain operating system. And the guy. The second guy said that is true. But the operating system she was using on her phone is not that operating system. Where that would be.
Morgan
Okay, okay, okay. So she was Googling that before for sure.
Bobby Bones
Based on the. Based on what the guy said, is that the prosecution said, I mean, if you open a tab, and when you open it, that's the time it's used. Right. And if you do it at, you know, 6:00am but you open it at 2, it's still going to show the 2.
Morgan
Right, right.
Bobby Bones
But the second guy was like, yep, that's true. Except they're not using the operating system where that comes into play.
Morgan
Okay, I got confused on that part. That's nuts, Eddie. You have to admit that's nuts.
Eddie
Oh, the one Google search was what got me on. Like, okay, maybe she didn't do it.
Bobby Bones
Multiple Google searches. But she misspelled it every single time.
Morgan
I mean, you think they were just sitting around like, hey, guys, how long does it take a body to die in the snow?
Eddie
She said that When? The girl. When Karen asked her.
Morgan
Yeah, but she didn't ask that till.
Eddie
Hours later at 6 in the morning. I know. That's why the whole TAB thing made sense to me.
Morgan
Yeah, but Bobby said that the TAB expert operating system.
Eddie
The expert who's an expert.
Bobby Bones
But you're using the expert as your argument, and the expert that came on. No, you just never know who to believe. The expert came on and said, the guy's right. He said the first expert was right. But. No, no, hold on. He said the first expert was right, except for he did not calculate the operating system being used. And this. And then the prosecution didn't say, no, you're wrong. I said, you're right.
Eddie
I understand. But the expert, who. Whatever side brings them on. That's what they say. Like if there's an expert.
Bobby Bones
That's why you bring them on.
Eddie
I understand. So who do we believe? That's why I just. These experts, I just like, whatever. Can't really. I can't really believe the experts that the defendant brought in. And expert who the prosecution brought in.
Bobby Bones
You can argue that the expert is not being an expert with the right perspective, which is what they did, and they. They were correct.
Morgan
You don't need an expert to.
Bobby Bones
But the dog expert didn't say anything about the defense expert being wrong. The dog expert the defense brought in said that was a dog mark. The other one that said that when they tested it, they didn't bring it in to say it wasn't a dog mark. They said they tested it for DNA, and they didn't say there was no dog DNA. They said according to their test, they couldn't find any.
Eddie
That was a twist. The defendant that the lawyer made. Just genius. The defense lawyer is awesome. He's really good. Alan Jackson. He's legit. Anyway, the fact that his name's Alan Jackson is legit too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she probably did it. But. No, but it's not even the point of it. The point of it is, in America, you cannot convict somebody.
Morgan
I know.
Bobby Bones
If you're not without a Hundred percent. Without a. Any doubt. And there's so much doubt in the fact you're still convicting her.
Eddie
No, I didn't convict her.
Morgan
I just said she did it.
Eddie
I'm not a juror, guys. I'm a viewer of this. She did it.
Morgan
Yeah, but if you were on the jury, would you be like in your deliberations being like.
Eddie
I couldn't like. You're right. I can't. I can't prove.
Morgan
Okay, so now you're.
Eddie
But I know in my heart you're.
Bobby Bones
Going your heart by based on one documentary.
Eddie
Yes. Yes.
Lunchbox
It's interesting by that you still think she probably did it.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't watch it.
Eddie
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
No, no, I will. I bet.
Bobby Bones
I. I don't. If I were betting money, see, this is. What would the odds be she'd be a favorite.
Paris Hilton
No job.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I think it's probably. I think it's probably inside. I think it's probably inside job.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I do. I think there's probably a fight. Somebody got. He got beat up on the. Because explain all the bruises on the face. Because if he got hit in the arm, why was his face so bruised up? And get pun. You know, why was it? It doesn't make sense. I think probably there was a fight, he died, and they had to come up with a story. That's. If I were having to bet money on it, that would be the favorite. But I wouldn't put her doing it.
Morgan
And all of that was.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Morgan
Mid.
Bobby Bones
And man. You know, when that tail light was broken, they were like, oh, we got the luckiest freaking thing ever.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I mean, just because just outside perspective is them being inside. They know how to get rid of evidence. They know to go to a military base to get rid of the SIM card.
Bobby Bones
They know you're right dog.
Lunchbox
Why go to. If you're just trying to get rid of it, Throw it a dumpster. It doesn't matter.
Eddie
Why military base?
Lunchbox
Because they can't search the trash there.
Bobby Bones
Search the trash there, and they know that.
Lunchbox
So if you want to just be normal and get rid of your phone, you just throw it in a dumpster right down the road. But we were gonna go extra mile, go military base.
Bobby Bones
I just felt too. That whole justice for John when that only meant Karen Reid was found guilty was a bit of a misdirection that was also strategically planned. Meaning the people that did it. If we go justice for John, it has to be her. It's not justice for John. You got to find the real person. It has to Be her for justice, for John. I think that was a strategic decision as well. And that's what you would do if you would weaponize that towards one person, not towards just finding it. Especially if you're the one who did it. Yep.
Lunchbox
So either way, is her life over?
Bobby Bones
No, I don't think so. I think she could probably make a lot of money off of it. Now she has to go, but she has to get tried again.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they're in the mood.
Morgan
They're in it right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
So hopefully the prosecution's better, but they.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the problem is there's only so much money for the prosecution. It's not like you hire crazy.
Eddie
They're doing it right now.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Right now.
Bobby Bones
There is no way she gets convicted unless they find some new. Some. Some new hard DNA. Those cops just decked around so much. And the cop that was in the investigation was sending texts about her while in the investigation. That alone should get it thrown out. Like, how are you leading an investigation, but you're also talking crap about the person you're investigating. That alone. I'm out. I'm like. I'm sure I'm out this. There's no way he can do his job that way if he feels this way.
Morgan
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Mike, what do you see? Oh, this was happening right now. Oh, my screen's messed up. Let me pull it in. Okay. Then we'll get off this. Jackson has shifted gears. Which one's Jackson? Alan Jackson.
Eddie
Is that a lawyer? Yeah, Alan Jackson.
Bobby Bones
But Jackson's such a normal name. I don't know.
Morgan
We are. There are two Brian's, so we gotta.
Bobby Bones
Jackson presented a photo of the injuries of o' Keefe's arm and questioned whether Buchanan saw bruising from his waist to his shoulder. Buchanan described what was pictured as lacerations and abrasions. Jackson was asked about the seizure of the suv. He asked about the discrepancy of the time of the seizure. He said he did not take action to correct it, so. But also, the guy, the main cop, was suspended and they're investigating him federally.
Eddie
Is that new?
Bobby Bones
They said at the very end of the documentary, like, he's been suspended since 2024 and he's being investigated. And you're investigating a cop in the middle.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So, anyway, we'll see what happens.
Eddie
It's a great story, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Morgan
You're welcome.
Eddie
For bringing that to our attention.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I mean, she might done it, but you can't convict her.
Eddie
I mean, I feel like she did.
Bobby Bones
But I feel like she didn't.
Morgan
But then why are all these other. If she did it, why is it reacting weird?
Bobby Bones
Shout out, Turtle boy. By the way, Turtle boy. Dude. Shout out, turtle boy. Hopping in there.
Morgan
He's made it his entire identity, sir.
Bobby Bones
Hey, it's your brand. Make your money off of it, boy. Baby. We go back to the betting odds there, because there are betting odds up where?
Morgan
Where?
Bobby Bones
So if you scroll up to the top there. I don't know. Mike's putting it up here. Let's see. Karen Reed. Guilty on at least one charge. Yes at minus 380, which means big favorite. But the yes could no, Involuntary no, even dui.
Lunchbox
Oh, you can get a DUI without getting busted. Any kind of charge like that seems crazy to me. Like, they don't pull you over if you just admit to drinking and driving. Two years later, it's like, oh, yeah, we're going to give you a D.
Eddie
I don't think they can do that.
Bobby Bones
But she. It is. These odds. I don't know who this is. Did they just make these odds up, Mike, or. Okay, then never mind. This guy's an idiot.
Eddie
Turtle boy.
Bobby Bones
Nah. Oh, a frog girl. The enemy. Okay, we're done. Hey, lunchbox, by the way, before we wrap, check your bitcoin.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It has gone up tremendously.
Lunchbox
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Is crushed.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Lunchbox
Let's check it out, man.
Bobby Bones
What I would do if I were you is I would sell it.
Lunchbox
Oh, I thought you say buy more.
Bobby Bones
No, you don't buy it when it's at the highest point of the year.
Lunchbox
Oh, I don't know. Never done this before.
Bobby Bones
It's at a one bitcoin. Well, so one bitcoin doesn't mean you have that much, right? One bitcoin is at 102,000 right now. And I think you bought it in the 80s when I told you to buy it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's down.
Bobby Bones
It's not down.
Lunchbox
No, no. Today I'm just. Whoa, man. I've made a hundred dollars.
Bobby Bones
How much you put in their total?
Lunchbox
Here we go again. Let me see. How do I figure this out? Oh, I. So I put in 528 bucks. And how much or 520? It's at 628.
Eddie
That's pretty good.
Bobby Bones
It's over 20% gain. I'd sell it before you lose anymore.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I've gained 20.9% on there. I'm +108.71. Today's return down 955. So dropping a little bit, but we can't. Can't bail that quick.
Eddie
What are you gonna Do.
Lunchbox
No, we're gonna hold, man.
Bobby Bones
Okay. All right, we're done.
Lunchbox
Well, look, my experts say. They don't say anything.
Bobby Bones
Well, the tariffs are what's driving bitcoin right now, and a lot of things not coming from China.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's not good. But I thought we got a. I saw a headline that we made a deal.
Bobby Bones
The 80% different, but yes.
Eddie
Oh, man. What?
Lunchbox
Nvidia. Oh, Nvidia is on fire.
Morgan
Guys, which way up?
Lunchbox
We are flying. Nvidia. We are. Plus $984, boys and girls.
Bobby Bones
Overall.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's 23% increase.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but that's basically what bitcoin just did. And you didn't act like the 20% was much different.
Lunchbox
Well, no, but Nvidia went way down for a minute, and now it's back. I was a little nervous. Bitcoin, when I bought it, it only went down, like $6, so I wasn't too stressed. This one I was kind of stressing about kept me up at night.
Bobby Bones
I say sell, get our money back. If it's two out of three, you have to sell.
Lunchbox
Amy, let's keep it, man. Look at Amy.
Morgan
My experts look at the ebb and the flow.
Lunchbox
Yeah. See, Amy, look. My experts. Amy, say buy. No, none of them say sell.
Eddie
What's the expert?
Morgan
But Bobby does really good at this stuff.
Lunchbox
This is 69 analyst ratings.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they're 69.
Lunchbox
87. Say, bye.
Morgan
So 12. You want to sell?
Bobby Bones
I would sell. I would sell. Mostly because he doesn't give money back to anything ever.
Lunchbox
No, no, I do.
Bobby Bones
It's like he owes us. He owes us for the pallet. He owes any money for a. For a golf thing. You do.
Eddie
You owe me $10.
Morgan
My money back.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you get one third of all of it.
Lunchbox
Well, we got to pay taxes, but.
Bobby Bones
That happens at the end of the year, and the taxes is on.
Morgan
That would be my responsibility.
Bobby Bones
And the taxes are only on the positive of it. So if we make 200 bucks divided by three or whatever we're making here, so do 200 bucks divided by three. 70 bucks each, basically. Taxes on $70. We'll give you 15 bucks, and you get to keep the change.
Lunchbox
I'm just telling you, I don't want to get in trouble with the.
Bobby Bones
How much is in their total?
Morgan
The erse.
Lunchbox
In our whole account?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
No, no. And just. Nvidia.
Lunchbox
Nvidia. We are at.
Morgan
I've decided I would like for Bobby to take over my finances.
Eddie
He's not gonna do that.
Lunchbox
No, no, no. We have $5,253 in Nvidia. We own 43 shares of that sucker, so that's awesome.
Bobby Bones
How much? 5,200. So.
Lunchbox
Guys, we are. We can't sell. Amy, Amy, just trust Amy. Don't. Don't give in.
Morgan
I'm consulting.
Lunchbox
Amy, we are having so much fun with this.
Bobby Bones
This is not fun.
Morgan
We never got the other day when it was low.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but it was.
Lunchbox
But. But you want. He wanted to sell.
Bobby Bones
Then what are you.
Morgan
What are you calculating over there?
Bobby Bones
Nothing. I'm just saying, how much we get back?
Morgan
How much will we get back?
Bobby Bones
I mean, 1800 bucks or so per person, but.
Lunchbox
But I'm making you money right now, Amy.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what his. What numbers he's saying, so I could actually do a calculator lunchbox.
Eddie
Why don't you just cash them out and then you keep doing it like it's it so much.
Lunchbox
I like it as a group.
Bobby Bones
We don't like being in a group with you because you don't give us our money.
Eddie
No, dude, no.
Lunchbox
I do.
Morgan
Wow.
Eddie
This is like our pallet money. Give us our pallet money.
Bobby Bones
Give us our palace. It's 1733.
Lunchbox
We're still working on the pallet.
Eddie
No, we're not working.
Bobby Bones
You have money already, so give us the money you already have.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh. See, you guys are getting angry.
Eddie
Why. Why is he not responding to that.
Bobby Bones
Annual Eddie money for a golf thing?
Eddie
$10. Just give me $10.
Lunchbox
Oh, well, I mean, yeah, sure.
Bobby Bones
Okay. We want. We want our pallet money.
Lunchbox
I guess I forgot. I mean, Eddie, he hadn't mentioned the golf thing to me at all.
Eddie
So why now I have to mention it to him?
Bobby Bones
I mean, why not our pallet money? By the end of the week, we're taking our navy out.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
And you guys don't even want. I mean, you guys.
Morgan
Okay, but you guys.
Lunchbox
Why are you guys bailing on.
Morgan
Can you agree to give us our pallet money?
Bobby Bones
No. No, we're not bailing. You can keep making money with it, but we want our pallet money that we've made so far.
Lunchbox
You guys are.
Eddie
Or we're taking you to court.
Lunchbox
Why are you so angry?
Bobby Bones
We're not angry. We don't know.
Lunchbox
It sounds like. And there's a lot of anger coming from that side of the room.
Bobby Bones
We want.
Morgan
Hire Alan Jackson.
Eddie
We are going to hire Alan.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to hire a fre loan shark. I'm not hiring Alan Jackson.
