And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to gecko.

[Bobby Bones]

It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. All right. Around the room, Amy.

[Amy Brown]

So after terrible sleep for a few nights, like the worst sleep score I've gotten since I got my oura ring a few weeks ago because now I track it. I mean, I was getting the lowest scores ever. It was depressing. Last night I tried to set myself up for success, went to bed early, shut down, did all the things and I woke up this morning to my highest sleep score yet and it has just made my day.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, even if it's because you're exhausted from I heart Country Festival sov. I mean, I'm exhausted.

[Amy Brown]

Well, maybe, but either way, I was just glad to have that recovery. Like now it says my app says I'm ready to go. Ready to face the day. More ready than I've ever been.

[Bobby Bones]

No, face it up.

[Amy Brown]

Go get it.

[Bobby Bones]

I know I slept hard last night, but I woke up today feeling like garbage just because travel and we didn't get in until 2 in the morning on Saturday. Sunday morning, I guess Saturday night, Sunday morning. But just anytime we're away for multiple days is a bad day.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I mean that was the bad part. I just, I had to be intentional with my evening last night of winding down like I was in bed by 7:30 and then to wake up this morning with a 92.

[Bobby Bones]

I could have gone to bed at 3pm yesterday and I still feel like garbage today.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I feel like I'm trying to tell something good here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm countering you.

[Lunchbox]

He's gonna bring it down a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I can even bring it lower because we got in so late on Sunday morning or whatever and then I had basketball games at 8am I was back up at 6:30 the next day. I got three hours of sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

I can raise you on. I had to get up at, like, 6 o' clock because there's a baby.

[Eddie]

There we go. You beat me by 30 minutes.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so, like, I tried to, like, take a little. Little couple that I.

[Eddie]

That's brutal, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Today's a bad day. Yeah. Tell me something good.

[Amy Brown]

Cool. Hey, but Morgan's the one that taught me to look at the Triple Crown. Up top. I don't always get them. I've had them. But this morning, I woke up Triple Crown, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So mine's kind of like good. Bad news.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

Well, hold on. The bad news is that I've just had sensitive tooth back here. That's just. I've been putting it off. Right. Like, I'll deal with it later.

[Bobby Bones]

How long you've been putting it off?

[Eddie]

Two months. If I chew on the right side, it doesn't bother me. Right. So I just have to chew on the right side. But sometimes I'll get, like, a cup of coffee and be like, ooh, that's kind of sensitive. Well, they finally squeeze me in. I go today to get it checked out. I think I'm gonna have to get another root canal. But I'm just glad that I'm gonna go to the dentist today and all that pain's gonna just go away. Cannot wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that sucks.

[Eddie]

It sucks, but it's gonna be good.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucks.

[Eddie]

Okay, we'll see what they say.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man, I got a lot. Let's see. The weekend was amazing. Going to Austin. I got to see my cousin. He had a baby about a month ago, so I got to meet the baby, got to go to dinner with some of my boys. And then yesterday, I got to go to lunch with my whole family. My mom, dad, brother, sister, nieces and nephews, and spend a couple hours just hanging out at a restaurant and a playground. And so, yeah, I mean, great weekend. So I got to see a lot of people in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Our golf round ended up getting canceled because the rain.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we went in Thursday evening, supposed to play golf, like the CFO and some folks. And it was raining so hard in Austin. I wasn't that beat up about it, if I'm being honest.

[Eddie]

Because you hadn't played in a while.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a little. You don't want to go and be bad with a good group because it's just embarrassing. And then it holds everybody up, and they're like, no, you're probably the first time. I'm like, no, it's really not So I wasn't too broken up about it. So I think that was net gain that didn't have to play, but I did nothing. So the whole day was free. And so that's on. That was Friday and was supposed to play golf all day. And Arkansas softball was going to play in the day, so I couldn't go. But because the golf got postponed, the softball game also got postponed later that night. So did a client thing at 36 and went over to the Texas softball stadium to watch Texas and Arkansas play. It was so cold and we didn't have the clothes for it.

[Eddie]

We.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just like, we're gonna go. So me, Eddie, Georgia, Burge, Brandon, Ray went over. It was freezing.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's May. We didn't think it'd be in the 50s.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie got a foul ball.

[Amy Brown]

That was really weird.

[Bobby Bones]

We were standing out, about to go in, and Eddie's like, I'd love to catch foul ball. Freaking foul ball comes flying out of the stadium. I'm like, I need to go run get it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

And you can't keep them at those games, at softball games. And so Eddie runs and gets it. And the woman comes out. She's like, let me have the ball. And she knows who we are. And she's going in and she says, wow, this one's landed on the pavement. So I probably. They're not going to want it. Would he really want it or was he kidding? I was like, no, he really wants it. And so like a kid, they went, inspected it and she brought it back to me and gave it to Eddie.

[Amy Brown]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So he got. He got to get the foul ball.

[Eddie]

That's the good news.

[Amy Brown]

That's kind of crazy that you said that. And then he said, and the ball

[Bobby Bones]

comes flying over the top.

[Eddie]

I was like, the only thing I want out of this game is to catch a foul ball.

[Bobby Bones]

The weird thing was we're out. And dj, who's the hitting coach and the head assistant at Arkansas, had sent us tickets to get in. And we had five of us, but only had four tickets. So I'm at the front trying to. We were supposed to be on the list. So one ticket didn't go through to my phone. And so we're there, and this woman in a Texas shirt goes, hey, do I know you? And I'm thinking, we're in Austin. So it's. We're having the festival there. It's somebody that knows us from the show. And I'm like, there's really no way to answer that. Cause I feel like, yeah, you sure do. I'm famous on a lot of different. I was just like. I don't know, like, what? She goes, did you, like, do some sports stuff for Arizona Football? And in my head, I'm like, no, I didn't. And I'm thinking. I'm like, well, we did go to Arizona. We shot an episode of Too Much Access. But I was like, there's no way that's it. And she goes, I think I know you from that. You interviewed my son. And I'm. I'm like, so there's a. He won Rookie of the Year in the NFL this year. T. Mac.

[Eddie]

He plays for the Panthers.

[Bobby Bones]

Panthers. It's his mom.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

It was his mom.

[Eddie]

It was his mom.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was at the game, and she was like, yeah. And she got. She got him on FaceTime to sell was bad, so it was, like, awkward because they couldn't connect, but she was like, yeah. And so we talked to her for a little bit, and then we went. Arkansas won. They won the whole series versus Texas, which was great. So did get to go to a game. I didn't go to the Saturday game, which is the one that I was a little triggered about, but I did get to go to the Friday game. So it was good. And the festival was good. By good. It went off without a hitch. There were no issues ever. And that's good. And we've done this a bunch of times, and sometimes there are hitches. So, yeah, that was good. I didn't see a single performance. I didn't see a single song perform.

[Amy Brown]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, there's some good ones.

[Amy Brown]

They're really good.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard Kane killed. It was. Everybody has a different opinion. I heard Kane was a lot of people's favorite. Yeah, Kane Brown was.

[Eddie]

Dude, he was awesome. And then when Lauren. Elena came out with him because they were both playing, so I don't know how often they get to do that duet together. That what if? Dude, it was awesome. It, like, gave me chills to see them together playing that.

[Amy Brown]

And then he had confetti fall, and it was just like, this magical feeling.

[Bobby Bones]

What's wild about that is they went to high school together.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, Kane and Lauren.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They were in the same, like, high school choir together. And so my dressing room was right by Kane's, so talked to him through the night. Cause he was there a lot of times. Artists, the big artists, they don't come and watch the show. You know, they're doing their thing. They're on their bus. Sometimes they don't get there till 30 minutes before they've been up sound checking. But Kane was back there a lot, and then he was also, like, watching the shows.

[Eddie]

I would see him side stage, just standing there by himself, just watching the show, enjoying it.

[Amy Brown]

He was watching Luke Bryant and. Yeah, I thought that that was interesting. That doesn't happen a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Especially the bigger artists that are well established also. You've seen everybody a bunch of times because you live here and you know them. But they were going. They had come from Miami and that F1. I don't know anything about F1. Like, you think I know a little about NASCAR, wait till you question me on F1. Kim Kardashian's boyfriend races.

[Eddie]

Oh, he does?

[Bobby Bones]

Lewis Hamilton. I think he's the most famous racer.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'd say he's the only one I know. So. He was also in the Brad Pitt movie F1, so.

[Eddie]

Okay, I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's probably the most famous crossover driver.

[Eddie]

Crossover? What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, he crosses over into people who don't know racing.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure there are. I said.

[Amy Brown]

Because he's dating Kim K or.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I already knew who he was. He wore Rolexes on both hands.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, yes. I know this guy now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The only people that I can literally think of are him and Schumacher.

[Eddie]

That's another racer.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, is he the one that's. And he didn't get in a wreck or a skiing accident. He's on like.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I just know the name.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see. On December 29, 2013, Formula One legend Michael Schumacher. Oh, he's not even current.

[Lunchbox]

No, he's not. Yeah. But he's.

[Bobby Bones]

He suffered a severe brain injury after falling and hit his head on a rock while skiing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Despite. Despite wearing a helmet that broke the impact, he suffered critical trauma, was placed in medically. In a medically induced coma for six months. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. The only two that I know are Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher. So I think he's.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, maybe. Are you talking about Mick Schumacher?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm talking about Michael Schumacher.

[Amy Brown]

I know, but there's a Mick. I'm googled.

[Bobby Bones]

You're thinking of Mick Jagger.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

No, there's a Mick Schumacher, and he has 3.5 million followers. And on his page, there's little cars racing around. So is this.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not familiar with Mick Schumacher. Is it MIC or M I K or M I C K?

[Amy Brown]

He's M I C K Schumacher.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you it's probably a descendant a kid. It is. It's. I'm looking at him. Mick Jr. Schumacher.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Is he the son?

[Amy Brown]

I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, he could be.

[Amy Brown]

I was just Googling.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's the son. Right.

[Amy Brown]

So he's IndyCar dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy Brown]

That's so weird because y' all know everything about every sport.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Car racing.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is, I don't know, nascar, though.

[Amy Brown]

I know. So I'm just comparison here for a second. Like me hearing y' all talk about F1 and where you're like, I don't know. That's. That's how I feel when y' all are talking about anything basic like football.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you know, a little more. I bet you know more about football than we know about F1.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's the starting quarterback for the Chiefs?

[Amy Brown]

Patrick Mahomes.

[Eddie]

Okay, there you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys?

[Amy Brown]

Prescott.

[Eddie]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. I named two drivers in the history of F1, and I didn't even know that you named two that are contemporary,

[Amy Brown]

but there's more football than there is.

[Lunchbox]

I know there's a lot of racers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I watched, like, a bunch of them on ESPN walk down their version of the red carpet, and it was like this. They look 12, by the way. And it was like this dude with his girlfriend, and everybody's, like, freaking out. They're massive worldwide stars. It's almost like soccer players to me.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of them cross over into the world that I know. Like Pele.

[Lunchbox]

Pele. That's who you go with.

[Eddie]

Ronaldo.

[Lunchbox]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Messi. No, I know Messi. Ronaldo. I know Mbappe. I know.

[Lunchbox]

Neymar.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know Neymar for sure. But it's few. But Esteban Ocon, Carlos Sainz, Nico Hulkenberg,

[Eddie]

those are all drivers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Max Verspin don't nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I know. Lewis Hamilton.

[Lunchbox]

But Max Verstappen is really. He's the star. One of the stars.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I believe you. You could just make noises and go, that's the star. And I'd be like, not going to argue with you about that.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So my point was, Kane had done multiple shows, flown to iHeart Festival, and it was flying back to Miami to do more shows. Did. He must have been paid so much because F1 massive. It's hard to even get tickets to go. It's hard to be a celebrity because worldwide celebrities want to come and they were just paying him to do show. After show, after show. But he crushed it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Just made so much money.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It's pretty cool.

[Eddie]

He'll be able to retire.

[Amy Brown]

And for him to be like, he's so nice and normal.

[Bobby Bones]

So the thing that I think about most with him, and I would say Kane and I are pretty. Are relatively as far as friends in the industry go, we're closer than I am with, like, normal, friendly, acquaintance people, because we will make a point to do something together occasionally originally. So. And we text a little bit. But the thing that I think about the most is before that, he brought your son a birthday gift way back in the day.

[Amy Brown]

Like, he heard on the show that we were talking about Stevenson's birthday coming up. And I believe you said something like, oh, what does he want? And I said, oh, he really wants a hoverboard. And then that was then the morning. Fast forward to the afternoon. Cain's assistant is dropping a hoverboard off at my house.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Yeah, you still have that?

[Amy Brown]

And Kane. Kane went, yeah, he still has it. And Stevenson still talks about it. Like, he won't ever forget it. Like, even Stevenson had a race this weekend. And he loves this some jersey Kane Brown did once that. It says, like, KB and it's black and white, and it says Brown on the back, which our last name is Brown, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Amy Brown]

So Stevenson, I didn't think about that.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't think about that.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought he just wanted a Kane Brown. Got it, got it, got it.

[Amy Brown]

Right? So it's a Kane Brown jersey, but he takes it to his track races, and that's what he wears is like, over his sleeveless thing. Cause it's like this cool jersey that says Brown. But he's always like, I can't find my. My Kane Brown jersey. My Kane Brown jersey. And I didn't get to be at his race this last weekend because I was out of town and so. And his dad was out of town, too. So our friend took him and she sent the picture she sent me. He's wearing that Kane Brown jersey. And, yeah, I feel like Kane Brown, that's who he now associates, because that was such a special time. And this was. He was way younger then. It's like, who's your favorite country singer? He'll probably forever say Kane Brown, because that was such a nice thing that he did for him. And apparently Cain went to the Costco and bought it himself and then gave it to his assistant later in the day. It wasn't like he called his assistant was like, hey, can you go pick

[Eddie]

up a hoverboard for Kane went to Costco, but it does.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, like, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, just him thinking about it.

[Amy Brown]

Yes. Like, even if his assistant had done it, but it was like, I assumed his assistant did it, and she was like, hey, just so you know, like, yeah, he heard on the radio, he went to Costco, got it, and now I'm getting it to you. And I was like, okay, that's really, really sweet. But yeah. Y' all have a relationship. I don't have one with him like that. Obviously. I see him at work things or when he comes in here, but it's like when he's. Some artists, this doesn't mean they're nice or not nice at all. But someone like him who's blown up at the level that he is, like, playing F1 to the interview, he's like, oh, hey, good to see you. And then after the interview, like, we're done. We're talking to other people. Before he leaves the room, he makes sure to turn back and look at everybody working. And he's like, hey, thanks, guys. He's like, yeah, thanks, Amy. See you later. And it's. It's just little things like that, that show you, you know, I mean, he had places to be, but he wanted to acknowledge everyone in the room and say thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Yeah, good, dude.

[Amy Brown]

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to gecko.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything else from the festival? That was good. I so I had like a 45 minute break and it's Unisex bathrooms.

[Eddie]

That's so awkward.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a bit awkward, but you have to walk back there, and it's a huge bathroom. You don't really see anybody peeing or pooping, but you hear. You could, if. Whatever. It's one big bathroom. And there are other bathrooms you can go to outside of our room, but it's the big. And it's also, like, the big holding area. So my dressing room, Kane's dressing room, and then a big holding area. And I heard somebody singing, and they were just, like, getting loose. And I was like, who is that looking there? It's George Burge, who is literal close friend of ours. And he was going to sing with Luke Bryan because Luke's on George's song Ride, Ride, Ride. And I didn't know who it was. I look in at George, and George's like, I gotta go sing. I was like, I'm come watch you. There's a family in there. And I started talking to the family. I didn't know who they were. And so I'm just hanging out for a few minutes before I go watch George Burge and just talking about, like, normal life stuff. And someone goes, hey, you had a baby. And I was like, yeah. We start talking about that. And the woman that I'm sitting next to was like, you care if I pray for your wife and baby? I'm like, no. So she starts praying for all of us. And so we have a little moment there. And then I didn't know who she was. And then Raelynn walks in, and I think it was either Raelyn's mom or Raelyn's grandma. If Raelyn's mom is named Rachel, it's Raelyn's grandma. If Raelynn's real name is Rachel, it's Raelynn's mom.

[Morgan]

Yes, it was her mom, because I talked to her, too. And Raelynn's name is Rachel.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't think it was her grandma. I literally thought it was her mom. But then someone was like, rachel is not Raelynn. So then I was like, well, if there's a name in the middle, my mom was a teen mom, so why couldn't. So it wasn't like she was old or anything, but so she was so nice. Then Raelynn walks in, and so we're talking for a little bit. And I missed George's song because I was just talking with everybody, and this guy I was sitting across from, he was talking about how his kids were in a band, and he was dressed nice, and he was like, yeah, my sons I was like, oh, your sons play? I figured they were like, it was like Luke's bassist or something. Luke Bryan's bassist, or, you know, Samantha band. And I was like, what band are your kids playing? And he said, jonas Brothers. And I was like, oh, they play it. And someone goes, no, that's literally Kevin Jonas, their dad. That's great. That's the dad of all the Jonas brothers. Dang. And I was like, oh, I've heard of this.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we know who they are.

[Bobby Bones]

I know that. So apparently he's Raelyn's manager, But, yeah, it's a really good festival. I'm exhausted.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, my feet hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's just a sleep thing more than anything else. All right. Morgan, you ever tell me something good? Yeah.

[Morgan]

So there was a moment at the festival when Lunchbox, Eddie and I were on at the daytime village stage, and somebody had given us front row seats to the festival to give away. And it was really cool. There was this woman out in the crowd, and Eddie and Lunchbox chose who, like, we gave the tickets to, and she's holding up this, like, little stuffed animal, and we just. Lunchbox was like, yeah, them.

[Eddie]

They.

[Morgan]

They have matching hats on. Choose them. And we give them and take us. And they're like, bawling. They were so excited. Come to find out, Lunchbox had met them like, six years ago, and she had, like, lost her son right before coming to the festival that year.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, no, no. I met him that day. And the last time they had been to the festival six years ago was the last time she saw her son because he passed away a week after the festival.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, wow.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And so.

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't know that? No, when you picked them.

[Lunchbox]

Right, I knew that.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, but got it.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan did not know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it, got it, got it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. But it was like a really cool moment because they were so excited to get to go. And then later in the night, I saw them during Luke Bryan, and they were just totally geeking out, having the best time in the front row, and it was somebody have that full experience.

[Bobby Bones]

I never went to the daytime stage. Not my fault. Not. We tried. I had some stuff to do at the daytime stage. We had a car that was take us over with passes to get us back into that area. The car never showed up. So we're just waiting. So then by the time we order Uber, they don't have the passes to get us to the right places. We missed all of it. People were like, why weren't you at the daytime stage? We tried, buddy. Yeah, we tried to get back there.

[Eddie]

We had trouble getting there, too. I mean, we couldn't get a ride to save our life.

[Lunchbox]

Uber kept canceling on us.

[Morgan]

I got an argument with an Uber driver for, like, 10 minutes on the phone. He kept telling me he was in the location. I was like, I'm standing where you say you are and you're not here. And he, like, wouldn't cancel the ride. And finally, Lunchbox was about to, like, take my phone, and I was like. He hung up on me. So I guess we're not going.

[Eddie]

We made it. Eventually.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I saw, I saw, I saw.

[Lunchbox]

Anything else?

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.

[Lunchbox]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

[Eddie]

This is really cool. Students at UC Berkeley are now having parties. Crazy ragers with no phones. They say, guys, just do us a favor, keep your phones in your pockets, whatever. Just enjoy the party. Talk to people, be social. Because they did a survey and they found out that 78% of undergrads believe their phones. They distract them and they don't. Let them have deep thoughts and have communication with some of their students. So they say, let's have parties where we don't have phones and we just talk.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like that would allow kids to get even. Even more wild.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

However, I'd still be afraid if I was getting more wild, that one person kept their phone and recording me. Oh. Cause I probably keep my phone for just in case a good TikTok popped up. Need to record.

[Eddie]

Interesting. So you believe that with no phones, there's no evidence of anything crazy going on, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Let her rip.

[Bobby Bones]

Let her rip. But then, two, I wouldn't fully let her rip. I'd be the one that kept the phone in case someone was really letting it rip. So you should always be weary of people like me.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause I'm still trying to get it. I do almost purposefully, almost every day. I do one hour with no phone.

[Amy Brown]

Where do you put it?

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. I mean, on the count. On the.

[Eddie]

You have a.

[Bobby Bones]

Lock it up. I don't need to lock. No, no, I don't need to lock it up. I just will go, okay, it's three o'. Clock. I'm just gonna go do no phone for an hour separate. I kind of get wound up sometimes on Twitter. Twitter's accessible. It is my favorite. I'm still there a lot because it does give good news, but it is nothing but rage. Bait. Because people want to get paid, so they do the most, they incite the most anger. So they get engagement, which then makes money for them, but then you're just enraged, so. But I do an hour a day with no phone, pretty much, so. Good story.

[Eddie]

I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

There's an off duty police officer named Frank Stefano. He plays in adult hockey league, and he's there for his game. Got the gear on, warming up, hitting some shots, when all of a sudden, panic breaks out across the ice. The opposing goalie, cardiac arrest, unconscious, laying on the ice. Well, Frank skates over in his gear.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom, boom.

[Lunchbox]

Starts giving him CPR that says, hey, go.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me the.

[Lunchbox]

The machine, the aed. They go. He brings it. One shock, two shock, boom. Gully's back alive.

[Eddie]

Wow, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder what you remember from that. If you're the guy or the girl that has to be brought back to life. Because I'm telling you, I don't want to, like. Because I might have to use this one day. If that happened to me, I come back and be like, yeah, I die. I died. I died. I met Abe Lincoln. I'd have so many stories. And you couldn't prove I was lying, could you?

[Eddie]

No, No, I couldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I followed the light. And it's crazy. You never believe who I talk to.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Who else you talk to?

[Amy Brown]

Well, save it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Don't say anything now.

[Bobby Bones]

It depends what angle I wanted to go. Oh, because Babe Ruth. That's cool. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or would I go to, like, the Dalai Lama? Or would I go to, like, Jesus?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because some people do that and they're like, jesus told me to do all this. And it's like, Jesus.

[Lunchbox]

I. I think Jesus gets the most clicks than Babe Ruth.

[Amy Brown]

I think Pearly Gates.

[Bobby Bones]

But I feel like that'd be blasphemous to say Jesus.

[Eddie]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

But people do it.

[Lunchbox]

But they can't prove you wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but in my heart.

[Eddie]

And then what if it really happens? And you really.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my. That's my point, too. If it does happen, you guys won't believe me, right?

[Eddie]

We're gonna be like, dude, we heard you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You already did this bit. I know. Yeah. That's a great story, though. They saved him the ad to have that defibrillator around. Valuable. Like, we bought a small one for our house. And because they came and did like baby CPR and stuff. They're like, you should buy a defibrillator to save everybody's life. And we were like, okay, we're scared we'll buy one we probably wouldn't have otherwise, but I think it's good to have. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

[Geico Gecko]
