Bobby Bones
Come on, it's time for the good news. Tell me something good. No lunchbox for this segment, but we do have Brent, our program director and our friend from Bakersfield, California that was just dropping by. What are you doing in town?
Brent
We have meetings for an event. Big country industry event that happens every February or March, so we start planning it this week. That's exciting.
Bobby Bones
You can't have the meeting on Zoom.
Brent
You know, they, they do some of the meetings on Zoom, but they like to do some in person and I kind of like it in person. You know, you get to see everybody face to face. Sometimes I think that's better for coming up with ideas and collaboration.
Bobby Bones
I completely agree. But how long's your flight here?
Brent
I took a red eye Saturday night into Sunday, so, I mean, about four, four hours.
Bobby Bones
There's a nonstop Bakersfield in Nashville?
Brent
No, I had to fly out of la.
Bobby Bones
So you had to fly Bakersfield to la?
Brent
Yeah, drove. Drove Bakersfield to la. And then how long's that? About a little less than two hours.
Eddie
That's not bad.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you gotta drive two hours to
Amy
the airport and then get on a
Bobby Bones
flight and wait for an hour in the airport. Anyway, we're gonna make you come up with a tell me something good in just a second, okay? Okay. Amy, you wanna go first?
Amy
Sure. I have a Tell me something good and suck in one.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
So same event, my friend and podcast co host Kat, her baby shower was on Saturday. And so that was the good. It was a lot of fun. It was a couple shower and it was really great to celebrate her and her husband. It's their first baby, all that, Everything's great. Well, I was in charge of games, which, because it's a couple shower again, we kind of just did a little bit. Kind of what we did for Caitlin's baby shower. Nothing like too crazy game wise. But also I saw Bobby interact with some of them and I was like, this went over well with Bobby. It should be fine with like 20 guys.
Bobby Bones
There were 20 guys there?
Amy
Well, there was, um, it was her. She's from here, so they have a lot of family. There was probably almost 70 people there.
Bobby Bones
Wow, that's a big one.
Amy
Yeah, it wasn't.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like the wedding.
Amy
It wasn't my house. Yeah, yeah, no, her parents were. Took care of the venue and all that. So we were there and I. So it's kind of loud and I need. I could. I couldn't speak. Like I felt like trying to get everybody's attention. It just was. So I was like cringing and then everybody had fun with the games. That was great. But I had to read some stuff and I print. I'm the one that printed it out, but I forget my vision. So not only am I having trouble just keeping everybody's attention and speaking loudly, but like I can't see and I have to read. Well, I didn't take them to the baby shower because I didn't think I was going to need them, but I was like, why did I print it in this font or this font size? Like I needed to go up a size. So that was the Sucky part is that, you know, I needed to keep it, like, sharp. Like, this is it. And everybody. It had a good time. Like, games are good. Even people afterwards, they don't have to come up to you say anything. I feel like if the game sucked, they're just like, hey, cool. Good to see you. You know, but they're like, hey. This was actually. I wasn't expecting that to be fun, but I actually enjoyed it. Whatever. I just feel like it's. My vision's really gotten bad the last couple weeks. Like, something's changed. It was bad, it was getting bad, but now it's, like, getting worse. So then I'm like, is this. If it's progressing this way, it could be something, though.
Bobby Bones
We would say acute specific. That is making it temporarily weak. You could be getting bad sleep.
Amy
45.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that it's fully.
Amy
That's what they say.
Bobby Bones
I googled it. All right.
Amy
All right. I googled it.
Bobby Bones
I'm just trying to make you not freak out, because I wake up sometimes and my vision is like, oh, I have bad vision anyway. But my one good eye. I'm like, man, kind of sucks. But if I didn't get, like, the right sleep, if I didn't eat just right.
Amy
True, true.
Bobby Bones
I'm just trying to. You're not dying.
Amy
Yeah, maybe my eyes are just watering.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're not dying. Allergies could be any of that. True. A really good thing that. Because Amy threw my wife's shower with some other friends, but it was at Amy's house, and a really cool thing that was done was everybody wrote a message inside of a baby book. Now, we didn't ask for gifts, so I guess that was the gift, but. And we're going through the books now and reading the books to Billy, and it's cool to see all the messages people wrote inside the books because we didn't look at them the next day. There were, I don't know, 40 baby books. So we didn't read them all. And. And our plan was not to, but to kind of read and discover them as we read the books to Billy. So that's been fun. We had Mike's wife's book out the other night, and Kelsey had messaged me like, that, see my book? I see my book on the ground. It made rotation.
Amy
So, yeah, no, that's a really cute idea, whether you're doing gifts or you want, like, a little extra special thing. But y'. All. Caitlyn was really specific. Like, we're. Y' all didn't register. Y' all bought everything, which is great, but then people want to bring something.
Bobby Bones
Well, that was it.
Amy
On the invitation, it said, in lieu of gifts, bring your favorite baby book with a special note.
Bobby Bones
And the note is really cool. I think that's what made it special because we're just now experiencing those notes. And that was before Billy was even born. So I'm glad it went well. I'm sorry for your vision, but I think it'll be okay.
Amy
I know. I was like, next time I need a little microphone and a speaker, like my own little setup. So that way I don't feel like
Eddie
I'm gonna borrow my karaoke machine.
Amy
I should have brought your karaoke machine.
Bobby Bones
Who knew it was going to be so large? I guess you.
Amy
May I? I did. Because we knew the head count, but it's. You picture that. But then once you. Once you get in the room, you're like, oh, shoot, this is bigger than I kind of thought. And then getting everyone's attention to do the glass with the knife. And then I. Please don't break, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
I did one for you last week, but you can do it again and talk more about it if you want. Do you know the one I did for you?
Eddie
I do. I think you did that. I got the okay to do yoga. Hot yoga.
Producer
Yeah.
Eddie
Talk to the doctor.
Bobby Bones
You want to elaborate on that?
Eddie
Yeah, the doctor. I mean, I didn't call her or anything. I do the portal, which is amazing. The fact that you have a portal and you can just text the doctor at any time, that's legit. So I just text her, like, hey, my friend wants to take me to hot yoga. Never done it before. Am I okay with this high blood pressure? She said, yeah, yeah. You're on your borderline high blood pressure. So if you were really high and this was consistent, I'd be worried about it. But you're good, so I'm looking forward to it. I can't believe we're going to do this.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So we have an afternoon session. It's just us. Scuba is the one that has made all the. All the plans. Right, Scuba?
Eddie
Yes. Yeah, that's me.
Bobby Bones
And then they know we're bringing cameras.
Eddie
Yeah, they know it's a whole content thing.
Brent
Yes.
Producer
Yeah.
Eddie
It's a close off session with just you and Eddie. Yeah, that's my question. Because we're not with other people now. Just you three.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I wouldn't mind doing it with other people, except we can't record other people.
Eddie
I get it, but I'd Be embarrassed.
Bobby Bones
But remember what I said. You'd be embarrassed. But everybody's embarrassed Our first couple of times. But then you realize after about your third time, there was no reason to be embarrassed because you're not paying attention to anybody who probably feels embarrassed right now. It doesn't matter.
Eddie
But, like, is she gonna say. Or he.
Amy
Who?
Eddie
I don't know. What if the yoga instructor.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Girl or guy? Do you know?
Eddie
I believe I have a call here in 30 minutes. I believe it's a guy. Okay. Is he gonna make me, like, touch my toes? Because I can't do that.
Bobby Bones
They don't make you do anything.
Eddie
Right, Right. But, I mean, there's no point in me even doing the exercise if, like,
Bobby Bones
I can't touch my toes.
Eddie
You can't?
Bobby Bones
I can a little more now. I'm used to saying that for my whole life, I've not been able to touch my toes. Maybe right now in the morning, but I can get there. But no, they don't make you do anything.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It's just. But that's why we want you to do it.
Eddie
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
One, it's so hot. And then two, if you've never done yoga, it's hilarious.
Eddie
What about grunting? Is grunting allowed?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're gonna grunt a lot.
Eddie
Okay. Because, I mean, I grunt just getting out of bed.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Scoop. But we also can't play music. Okay.
Eddie
So a silent class.
Bobby Bones
Well, because we can't record it and play it back to your point. Yeah.
Eddie
So it'll be a silent class unless
Bobby Bones
we only do London Bridges.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Royalty free.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. All Royalty songs from over 100 years ago.
Eddie
And.
Brent
Yeah.
Eddie
Is not royalty free?
Bobby Bones
No, they do good music.
Eddie
They do.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Can you do rain sound? Like. Like, nature sound?
Bobby Bones
You can do whatever you want, but a lot of times there's a theme when you go in. At least the ones that I'd been in.
Eddie
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
Like, they say, well, sometimes it'd be, like, fun 90s pop. And they play 90s pop music while you're doing. Sometimes it would nature sounds. It depends on the teacher and how much armpit hair they have. I mean, when you agree, kind of like the more granola they are, the more traditional they wanted it to be.
Amy
Yeah. I've had everything from no music at all to, like, Bobby said, hip hop.
Eddie
Those are fun granola. There's a guy that walks in my. My neighborhood, and, like, I just. I want to meet him so bad because he seems like such an interesting person. He walks with, like, yoga poses, but like, walks.
Amy
You know, like, he's, like, doing a walking meditation.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. And then he goes to the.
Bobby Bones
What if he just has a hand problem, dude. And you're.
Eddie
No, no. Cause it changes. It changes. He goes from, like, above the head to, like, out.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's good.
Eddie
Yeah. But then he hits the major road, and I'm like, how do you. How's he meditating? Like, there's so much sound out there.
Bobby Bones
I don't. I don't know if you can meditate while walking. I do.
Amy
No, there is a thing called walking meditation.
Bobby Bones
You're gonna get hit by a car. That's what that's called.
Eddie
He's gonna get hit by a car.
Amy
You don't have your eyes closed.
Eddie
It looks like he has his eyes closed.
Amy
Oh, really?
Eddie
And he has a man bun.
Bobby Bones
Dude.
Eddie
He looks like the most interesting guy ever.
Bobby Bones
He's our teacher. We find out.
Eddie
That'd be awesome.
Bobby Bones
I have a sneeze. It's so right at the edge of my nose. I can't get it.
Amy
Look at the light. Look at the light.
Bobby Bones
I can't. No. What does the light do if you.
Amy
If you have to sneeze? If you look up at light, it will make it. The sneeze will go away.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, I didn't want it to go away. I wanted it to come out.
Amy
Oh, well, isn't it all the same?
Bobby Bones
And now I've repressed it.
Amy
What if it goes away or comes out? It's the same.
Bobby Bones
No, she's saying you feel the same regardless.
Amy
Yeah. If you sneeze, okay. And then if it goes away, okay, it's same.
Eddie
But he. He stopped it from sneezing.
Bobby Bones
But if you sneeze, the reason you would sneeze is there's something foreign inside that's creating.
Amy
Now. I get that part. It might come back. But I'm just saying if it goes away and then there is that nice feeling after you sneeze.
Eddie
Yeah, Like a release.
Brent
After.
Bobby Bones
After Billy sneezes every time.
Amy
She's.
Bobby Bones
Because she'll never sneeze. Once she does three sneezes, then she'll go.
Eddie
It, like, feels good.
Bobby Bones
It's. The funniest sound was that you're telling me something good.
Eddie
I had a bigger. Tell me something good. But I mean, that's a good one.
Bobby Bones
No, no. I just wanted you to know we did that one. What's your other one?
Eddie
My big, big one is that my mom had surgery late last week and she is 77. So she went in and it was, like, supposed to Be a two hour surgery ended up being a four hour surgery, which was very stressful.
Bobby Bones
Just when do they tell you that there's gonna be a change in the middle of it before it starts?
Eddie
No. So they said. So when she goes in, they were like, okay, it's gonna. It's gonna be a two hour surgery. So just a lot for two hours. Okay, great. That two hour time came and went. And then we start asking, like, what's going on? She okay? They're like, no, everything's fine. They're just still working. And then like hour three and like, what's going on? Everything okay? Yeah, they're still working. There's not. No reason to be alarmed. And, like, that's two hours more than you thought. But anyway, what you worry about at 77 is how she's gonna. How about how her body's gonna react to surgery? And like, man, she got out of surgery. She was out of it. She was out of it for almost the whole day because the surgery was really early in the morning. And then, like, just the. The two days after that, it was just up and down. She would wake up some days and be like, hey, I feel good. She would walk to the kitchen, and then some days, her knees wouldn't even. Would buckle. Like, they couldn't even hold her up. So the last couple days have been really hard just to kind of monitor mom and how she's doing. But, dude, she's doing great now. I would say yesterday was amazing. She did everything on her own.
Brent
She.
Eddie
She was in good spirits. She was talking normal. Because that was something that was really scary. Like, after surgery, she wasn't making any sense. And then the day after surgery, still not making any sense, asking for my dad. My dad's been dead for two years, so stuff like that. So we're calling the doctor. Like, what's going on with that?
Bobby Bones
Anesthesia.
Eddie
Yeah. So apparently older patients that go under anesthesia, they have this thing called post op delir delirium. And this is. This is kind of a 5050 deal where, like, most of the time they get out of it. Most of the time, you know, you kind of like, just tell them, like, no, mom, dad's dead. You know, like, it's daytime, it's breakfast time, it's dinner time. Then it usually goes away, but half of the time it doesn't go away. And they just kind of live like that, and they end up, you know, having amnesia. And so we were. That stresses out too. But now she was making sense. On Sunday, like, she's she's making sense now. So everything is good. That's my Tell me something good. She made it through surgery, everything was successful and she's on the road to recovery, which is awesome.
Bobby Bones
It's good.
Amy
That's good. Yep.
Bobby Bones
Scary.
Eddie
Scary.
Bobby Bones
Better.
Eddie
Much better.

Mine is going to be that we are so close to college football starting as I have my first college football coach interview today. That will be on 25 whistles. We're talking to Colin Klein, who's the head coach of Kansas State. So it's been just a such a beast to have to figure out content to do when there's no sports going on.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I'm such a big college football fan and when we start getting our coaches on that kind of is the indicator that we're getting close. So that's my Tell me something good. Had a fine weekend. We didn't do much, it rained and I don't know, we just hung out with the baby and baby napped and I did watch a bunch of movies I think I watched three of course and the Odyssey but which yeah, mentioned earlier but I watched The Odyssey and three more.
Eddie
You're a film guy.
Bobby Bones
Mr. Cinema. But I'm JV movie Mike.
Eddie
JV.
Bobby Bones
What else am I gonna do?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, it's. So, what about the video games? Like, have you just abandoned video games?
Bobby Bones
Well, mostly because the video games are where the baby naps. So, Caitlin, the baby are up. Or the baby naps.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And then the video games are right there. And so I also just haven't felt the end. I forgot the room where my three TVs are. The ground is all baby mat.
Eddie
Oh, no.
Producer
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think that's probably why, now that I think about it. Yeah, definitely.
Eddie
I got.
Bobby Bones
My chair is not even able to roll in front of the screen right now because it's baby mat.
Eddie
Your gaming chair.
Bobby Bones
I know. So, yeah.
Eddie
You're growing up.
Bobby Bones
That's. Tell me something sucked. I didn't think about that. Really. Brent, what about you? Give me a. Tell me something good.
Brent
We are about two months away from my oldest daughter getting married.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Paying for that one.
Brent
I am.
Producer
Yeah.
Eddie
Wow.
Brent
And I mean, look, my wife Julie is. I mean, she's doing a lot of the planning with Gracie, and they just tell me what to pay when, but it's crazy. I mean. And she. And her fiance. I mean, her fiance is great. He took Julie and I to dinner.
Eddie
You, like, be honest, Brent.
Brent
No, I do. They're just. They're both. They're both young. I mean, I'm not saying anything. I haven't said to that. I mean, because they're both 19.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Holy moly.
Eddie
Wow.
Brent
They started dating when. Yeah, they're middle of high school. So, I mean, they've been together three years. And.
Bobby Bones
Are you more.
Brent
They're getting married this October. No, I definitely.
Bobby Bones
I didn't think you were.
Amy
No, because if he was, he wouldn't. He would be like, this is so great. This is everything we've wanted. But right now he's like, they're young. If he was Mormon, I don't think. Is there a comment about you being young?
Bobby Bones
No, I think. Nor I. I didn't think he was, but I have Mormon friends and they all get married really young.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
And he lives west coast, so maybe. I thought maybe. I just didn't know Brent was Mormon.
Brent
No, no. Yeah, we're Christian, but, yeah, we. Yeah, we're getting ready. They're getting married at a friend's family's property, so we're doing that. And just all the things you don't think about because it's outdoors, so you have to get restroom trailers and. Yeah. Figure out the catering and I mean. And my. She's 19. Like, she wanted no salad at the. I was like, okay, they're going to be adults.
Eddie
We're not.
Brent
We're not doing chicken tenders and fries for everybody at the wedding. There's going to be salad. Sorry.
Bobby Bones
That's fun. That's fine. It's fun.
Brent
Yes. So we're excited.
Bobby Bones
They're 19.
Brent
They're 19.
Bobby Bones
Crazy. I don't know about that, but what are you going to do?
Brent
Well, and that's what Julie and I talked about. You know, they don't need our permission. You know, they're. They're both adults. So, you know, we can choose to be supportive, or we can just, you know, give them lectures all the times that they're not ready. But, you know, I mean, like, Gracie is amazing. I mean, she's studying to be a teacher, and, I mean, she's always gotten great grades. And, I mean, she's really responsible. Like, that's. That's all on her mom. Like, I mean, it's just awesome. And Logan's great. Logan's kind of studying to become a contractor.
Bobby Bones
Did he ask you?
Brent
He did. Yeah. So how'd that go back in March? Yeah, he took.
Bobby Bones
When he was 15.
Eddie
Yeah, but that was your chance to say no, Brent, right there.
Brent
Well, okay, so even that, I kind of got wrong because, I mean, Julie and I talked about this going into it, and I was like, okay, do you want me to tell them, you know, they should wait a year? Or, like, what do you want? And we were totally on the different. Because I was like, should we just be super supportive what they want to do? Because, I mean, it was in my daughter's head. She wanted to do it this fall. And so, yeah, so Logan's like, you know, are you okay with this fall? Do you think we should do this spring? And I said, we support you no matter what. And, like, as soon as we left the dinner, Julie was like, I thought you were gonna tell them maybe they should win.
Bobby Bones
I was like, well, did you know he was going to ask you leading up to it? Was your daughter with you as well when he asked that?
Brent
No.
Bobby Bones
So it was you, your wife, and him.
Brent
Yes. And he took us to dinner, and he wanted to be super respectful. He paid for dinner and. Yeah, no, he's a very respectful young man. I mean, honestly, we hit the jackpot with him. He fits in great with our family. He loves to play games. Like, we love to play games. Yeah, he's a hard worker. He's awesome.
Bobby Bones
You're right, though. What are you gonna do? Say no. And they're adults. Yes, they're adults. And hopefully you've raised a really responsible adult that is gonna make a lot of decisions. Hopefully, most of them are right. And the ones that aren't, hopefully you learn from. And, yeah, if you feel like he's good, I got to support it.
Brent
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, that's one year away from your son.
Eddie
Yeah. But, I mean, I have boys and kind of, like, I feel. It's funny, like, I look at them now, and I know which ones are going to get married early and which ones are going to get married later. Or maybe one that's not even going to get married. You know what I mean? I can just kind of see the way they interact with people or just kind of how they are emotionally. I kind of know how they're going to be. But a question for you, Brent.
Brent
Yeah.
Eddie
When they're planning the wedding, and since you're paying for it, do you ever tell them, like, that's too expensive, like, let's go cheaper.
Brent
I mean, we. We definitely told her, like, what we could afford. Yeah. Like, we. So we said, hey, here's what we can do. And so, yeah, we try to stay within that.
Amy
She was trying to save you money without salad, but.
Eddie
And then your friends, your friend's place.
Brent
Yeah. So, I mean, we. We definitely got lucky that we don't have to pay for a venue. Yeah. But. Yeah, just then. But then all the other things you don't think about. So you have to bring in a dance floor and, you know, you have to, you know. Right. Bring in bathrooms and just all those different things.
Eddie
But you do an open bar.
Producer
We.
Brent
We are not.
Bobby Bones
They can't even drink.
Brent
Yeah.
Eddie
So that's a good point.
Brent
We'll probably do champagne for toasts, and we've talked about maybe putting wine on the tables for the adults, but. Yeah, I mean, all their friends are the same general age, so. Yeah.
Eddie
We're not crazy.
Amy
Oh, that's kind of nice.
Eddie
Think about that.
Bobby Bones
The cops all come because they hear this. There's a raid, and. Yeah, they raid and arrest everybody for underage drinking. Or even better, Brent tips them off before the actual wedding. So they arrest them before the wedding. They can't get married.
Eddie
That's the play right there.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's exciting. Yeah. I hope it all goes great. Thank you. What's the weather situation at that time of year?
Brent
So we've looked. I mean, it. It's. I know I could find something. It shouldn't rain like, we should be good. Like October, outdoor Saturday, it's Bakersfield. Doesn't rain a whole lot anyway. But we should be good. And it shouldn't be too hot. Triple digits are over at that time, so we should be good.
Bobby Bones
That's exciting.
Brent
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What are you going to wear?
Brent
That's. That's one thing I have not figured out yet. So I'll have to go find a tux or a nice suit or something. And we're still figuring out the father daughter dance. She told me she wanted to do Kane Brown, backseat driver, so maybe that's what we're gonna do.
Bobby Bones
Is that her only choice so far or. She changed songs.
Brent
You know, we haven't, like, fully decided. I mean, I asked her, do you want to do, like, go somewhere? Like, do a choreographed thing? I mean, if you thought that would be fun, I would do it.
Bobby Bones
Or she like, dad, that's lame.
Brent
Yeah, that's lame.
Eddie
Brent, you should have. You're connected. Like Bobby had Ronnie Dunn at his wedding. You should have Kane just come sing it.
Brent
Just right.
Eddie
Like, no problem.
Brent
Text him. Hey. Hey, buddy. What are you doing? You want to come to Bakersfield in October?
Bobby Bones
Congratulations. How long are you in town?
Brent
It's a Wednesday.
Bobby Bones
And so you do all those meetings till Wednesday?
Brent
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you do your morning show while you're out here from here?
Brent
No. So my co host is doing it alone these next few days.
Bobby Bones
How do you feel about that?
Producer
Good.
Brent
She's. She's great. I know. So, I mean, we're. Our situation is, you know, I do what Ray does here and like, I do the board, and so I know she's a little nervous about pushing the buttons. Cause she doesn't normally do that on our show, but she's great. She'll do a good job. I mean, she's already texted me a few times this morning, like, hey, where's this? We're good. She's good.
Bobby Bones
Tell her wrong a little bit. So then she messes up and respects and appreciates how much you do.
Brent
You know what? That's the play smart.
Amy
Yeah. Freak her out.
Bobby Bones
Then she'll really appreciate you. Okay, everybody. Good. Congratulations, everybody. Congratulations.
Producer
Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Good job.
Eddie
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Amy. Meh. Brett.
Amy
Amy. What?
Bobby Bones
You're. You don't need to. Congratulations.
Amy
Oh, yeah. No, mine wasn't. Yeah, just like, yay. I have bad vision.
Bobby Bones
No, you threw a heck of a party, though.
Eddie
No, that's. The party's a good one.
Producer
You did.
Brent
You organized all that stuff.
Amy
Well, I mean, there was other hosts too. Yeah, I was in charge of games.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Producer
Disney and Starlight Children's foundation are helping kids around the world see Toy Story 5. And I'm not talking normal kids. I'm talking kids getting medical treatment that are stuck in the hospital, can't go to the movie theater. So what'd they do? They linked up to 400 different hospitals around the world and brought Toy Story to them. Set up special screening rooms, magical places. They even had the characters show up and greet the kids and have fun. And they gave them away. 18,000 toys about Toy Story 5 to these kids.
Bobby Bones
That's really cool. I like mascots, though. It doesn't matter the mascot. I just love a mascot. As an adult, I love a mascot. Can you imagine being a kid? The Toy Story characters show up.
Producer
Yeah. And then when you're in the hospital, you know, you get those boring gowns. It's like, oh, this is so cool. Cringy. Oh, no. They donated 34,000 Toy Story 5 gowns to the kids so they can dressing style.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty neat. Good job by them.
Producer
Oh, wait. You think it's over?
Bobby Bones
I thought it was over.
Brent
I thought.
Bobby Bones
I really thought we were about to end it.
Eddie
Okay.
Producer
No, no. You know those people that play Woody and Buzz and all them, They're A listers, right?
Bobby Bones
The people that play them. Tim Allen.
Producer
Yeah. Oh. They set up video calls with the kids with the A listers. So they chimed into the little screening, said, hey, enjoy the movie. Really hope you guys get better. Keep fighting things like that. Bam. Now they're done.
Eddie
Okay. Okay. All right. They're done.
Producer
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm afraid if I get on something else, he's gonna do it again.
Producer
See, I would pause you guys, like, wow, that's amazing. But it just kept going and going and going.
Bobby Bones
That's cool for those kids. An aside. So there's nothing to do with that. That's an amazing story. Was Toy Story 5 good, Mike? Really good. One of the best movies of the year. That's crazy that that a 5 could still be that good.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
Usually by about three, it's over. Home Alone. Three not sucked.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Four wasn't great, but five was good. What happened in. What was the theme in five? It's essentially Jesse's story. So kind of like what happened in part one, but from Jesse's perspective. Is Jesse the cowgirl?
Brent
Yes.
Eddie
And who plays Jesse?
Bobby Bones
John Cusack.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Will boys like it? Yeah. Even though it's about. Because, you know, as a kid, boy, you don't want to watch anything that's girl.
Producer
Hold on. John Cusack plays a chick?
Eddie
No. Joan.
Brent
Joan Joan, I don't know who that is.
Bobby Bones
It's a great story. Anyway, sorry. That's what it's all about. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
Eddie
There's a marching band from Mississippi, and they're gonna go on a huge trip to Honolulu, Hawaii. They're gonna go see Pearl harbor and all that stuff. But while they're in Hawaii, they go to Waikiki. They're in the beach, and one guy named Griffin, he's a band member, he hears someone screaming, like, 300 yards away in the water. There's a dude drowning.
Producer
Hey.
Eddie
So he gets his buddy Mason. Let's go save him. So Griffin's a lifeguard back home. He goes in the water, doesn't think twice, saves this guy from drowning. Here's the crazy part.
Bobby Bones
That was already crazy. They're on a trip and he saved somebody.
Eddie
I know. It's even crazier. The guy that they saved was the travel agent that booked the whole trip. Isn't that crazy?
Bobby Bones
That's funny.
Eddie
He's. He was so grateful that they saved it, he goes, you know what? I want to book your next one for free.
Bobby Bones
His fee. Not the whole. All right, good one. That's what it's all about.
Producer
That was.
Bobby Bones
