I do want to go to Abby first because we started yesterday. We sent her to the doctor. We sent her home. You went to the doctor?
Abby
Yeah, I did. I went to my doctor.
Bobby Bones
Did you go right after the show?
Abby
Yeah, they had an opening.
Bobby Bones
Nice. And what do they tell you?
Abby
I do not have pneumonia. I mean, she basically just said yeah, it is like a lingering cough because I've been really tired and everything, so they gave me a steroid shot.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I bet you feel like a million bucks today.
Abby
Yeah, I feel a lot better. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so you're good. You're safe. Ray and Scuba feel safe.
Abby
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yes. I always thought it was a runner's cough. So now you had your face covered yesterday. Being funny. I know what. It's. It's not any. Her voice hasn't changed. It's not like she's like blood curdling, coughing. It's just. It's like she went on a marathon run. Like, what you're going to. It's going to affect your respiratory breathing. She was sick, though, before the race, though, to be fair. Yeah.
Abby
Yeah, I was. It comes. It's like these coughing attacks. That's what happened yesterday.
Bobby Bones
Great. They just said Abby was outside coughing up along. I never like to hear because I don't want the hantavirus spreading around the room here. So. Good. You're good then.
Morgan
I'm good. Let's go.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Abby
She laughed at me when I said it could be pneumonia.
Lunchbox
Oh, she laughed.
Bobby Bones
I was like.
Abby
My co worker said it probably is. Well, she listened to my lungs and she's just like, no, you're good.
Bobby Bones
She told you go to YouTube to find some exercises.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's probably right.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so let's go around the room. Let's switch it up. Lunchbox. Go first, man.
Lunchbox
Yesterday I went out to the mailbox. The mail had come. And I'm going through the mail. Junkie, junk, junk. Oh, something to me. And I open it up and it is $20 from jury duty. I got paid.
Eddie
That's cool.
Lunchbox
They said it would take like a month. Took like a week and a half.
Bobby Bones
They send you cash?
Lunchbox
No, they send me a check for 20 bucks. That is awesome, because I'm always like, yeah, right. It's not really going to come. It's going to take a month. But you go out there a week and a half later and there's $20 in the mail. Heck, yeah. Pretty cool.
Eddie
You got paid.
Lunchbox
Now I gotta go to the bank.
Bobby Bones
Spend 20 bucks in gas getting to the bank these days. No, Morgan.
Morgan
Yeah. So I had my audiology appointment and I finally have a path to start following. I think I have vestibular migraines.
Bobby Bones
You've had a lot of stuff.
Amy
I know, man.
Geico Gecko
Wait, wait.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
You get migraines?
Morgan
Vestibular migraines can be connected to vertigo. Basically, they can trigger each other. They don't know which triggers each other, but one of them does. And so it's connected to the vertigo, but it's not a migraine. Like you would think. They're different. Vestibular migraines are like, your head feels really heavy all the time and you're kind of in what they call a vertigo hangover. But like, they did. They put tubes in my ears and poured hot water in them. Yesterday I had like the. You know when you see people's heads with a bunch of stickies all over and wires connected? I had that all over my face. It was like a whole two hour long appointment.
Amy
Why are you laughing?
Lunchbox
I mean, Morgan has come in here and told us six different things that she has.
Amy
Well, same with you.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
No, he's had nothing.
Lunchbox
According to all the doctors.
Eddie
They don't know what it is.
Amy
He's had ailments.
Lunchbox
No. But she comes in and she's like, I figured out the problem, why I'm getting vertigo.
Eddie
So that's how he's mad at him
Morgan
and he's headed down the road.
Lunchbox
And then two weeks later, it's like, I went to a different doctor and I know why I'm getting vertigo. And then two weeks later, man, now I know why I'm getting vertigo. It's just like I don't know what is right and what's wrong. But you are listening to everybody saying everything.
Bobby Bones
What if she continues to just learn?
Lunchbox
But which one is right, though? How do you know?
Bobby Bones
Well, what if one thing leads to the other? Like she does have something, but there's something even bigger that's affecting.
Morgan
All right, I'm like, your body is all connected and all the pieces.
Lunchbox
Well, she stopped eating food on Thursdays because of her vertigo, that she needed to stop eating food.
Bobby Bones
You can try different things to see what works.
Lunchbox
She said, that's working.
Morgan
And it was like my symptoms and my episodes have gotten better, but it's still trying to figure out why it's happening. I'm 32 years old. I shouldn't be having vertigo.
Bobby Bones
And so then why are you angry at her?
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm just. I feel like she's turning into Amy where she. Wait, what? Six different doctors and they all tell her different things and she starts taking pills for everything.
Bobby Bones
Old Amy, not. Not current Amy.
Lunchbox
Well, Amy takes. When was I this person, the candida, the.
Eddie
You would hold the blood.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I think we all have Candida for sure. A little bit of it. I don't know. Lunchbox.
Eddie
Are you just mad because she went to the doctor, and the doctor said, all right, here's your problem versus, like,
Lunchbox
well, this is the third solution she's had, at least for her vertigo. And so I'm just. I'm worried that she's just barking up different trees.
Bobby Bones
You're worried about her now? You're worried about her.
Amy
That's why she laughed. She's worried.
Bobby Bones
Interesting.
Lunchbox
So, I mean, just, hey, mark it down on the calendar. One month from now, she'll have a different doctor's appointment. They'll tell her she's having vertigo because of this. Just mark it down.
Bobby Bones
What if somebody went in for, like, a finger injury, right? And you go into the finger doctor, and the doctor's like, yeah, you got definitely something wrong with your knuckle here. We're gonna diagnose that, but I think you should go to a hand specialist. So then you go to a hand specialist, like, oh, this is why your finger hurts, because your whole hand is now bothered. It's in your hand. It's hurting your finger. But it could be larger than that. Now you have two diagnoses. You got a finger diagnosis, you got a hand diagnosis. And so then you go to a shoulder doctor. Oh, it's actually all rooted in your shoulder, and that goes down through your arm. It's affecting your hand into your finger. This is what Morgan's doing. She's just getting it diagnosed larger. So they are telling her what's wrong with her, but she keeps going to new people. They're diagnosing it more macro.
Lunchbox
All right? I mean, you have to worry about.
Morgan
It's kind of like an onion lunchbox. So you just peel back layers as you start to figure things out and understand.
Lunchbox
So who's the one that told you to change your diet for your vertigo?
Morgan
That's a functional nutritionist that I've been working with with also Long Covid, which is still connected with the vertigo. That's when it all started happening. So again, it's an onion. I'm peeling back layers to. To figure out the problem.
Lunchbox
All right?
Morgan
I'm just more, I guess, dedicated to it than you are. Like, you go to people and you're like, I don't know. They told me to look up YouTube. And you don't follow a road. I'm following the roads that they're taking me.
Lunchbox
Hold on, hold on. You're saying that I don't follow a road. I've been to at least eight doctors. I've had a going down roads. I've had a CT scan and MRI 2 ultrasounds. I mean, so saying I don't go down roads. I've been to so many doctors.
Bobby Bones
We had to get you to tell them you had a swollen testicle that I was like, we had to convince you to do that.
Lunchbox
I've been to so many doctors, and I was going to another doctor, and they said, bring your MRI in. And I couldn't even remember which place I went to get my MRI because I'd been to so many freaking places.
Amy
I think we know the root. The root is Morgan's getting answers. He's not correct.
Eddie
Okay, that's gotta be it.
Bobby Bones
Can you ask Morgan?
Amy
I want answers.
Bobby Bones
I forget why this even started.
Eddie
Tell me something good, Morgan.
Amy
Morgan was sharing her thing, and he was laughing.
Lunchbox
So now she's gonna do what? Like, what's.
Morgan
Well, now I have to go to a neurologist and get an mri, and I also have to get a full blown hearing exam different than the vestibular function test. I just. I'm walking down the path to try and get answers. Vertigo doesn't come with a lot of answers. Like, there's a lot of unknowns, a lot of things they don't understand. So I'm just walking down each one, trying to get answers, hopefully to find something that can help alleviate. Because one day I would love to not have vertigo.
Bobby Bones
Well, you're very lucky, because although they may not understand vertigo, Lunchbox does.
Lunchbox
I mean, I just looked it up. I mean, have you thought about. Oh, that's not a good virus to have to cause your vertigo. You know what causes vertigo? Herpes.
Bobby Bones
What's wrong with you?
Morgan
I'm really glad that you're one. Google search.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
Let's go.
Lunchbox
Which kind of herpes?
Amy
Because a lot of us carry herpes.
Lunchbox
It says various herpes viruses are known causes of vertigo.
Amy
Okay, like a mouth sore is herpes.
Lunchbox
Oh, man, what a breakthrough.
Morgan
Yeah, I bet herpes can also involve a swollen testicle.
Bobby Bones
You know, that might actually just be a herpes.
Lunchbox
Yeah, let me Google that. Does swollen.
Bobby Bones
All right, Eddie, you're up.
Eddie
Okay, well, last night was crazy because I recently got this, like, air fryer, slash oven, you know, tabletop oven or whatever. And I found these cool, like, parchment paper sheets that go in the bottom so it doesn't get dirty, Right? So I was so proud of these sheets. I put one in. I'm heating up some pizza last night, I go upstairs, fire alarm goes off, and the way my house is with the smoke alarms, they're all connected, so they all start beeping all over the house. And it goes, fire, fire, fire. That's what it says. And so I'm like, oh, my gosh. All the kids are freaking out. One of them's running out of the shower, like, what's going on? I go downstairs, and my whole oven thing is on fire.
Bobby Bones
So one of the actual flames. Actual flame?
Eddie
Yeah, the parchment paper thing had caught on fire, and it was in the oven, and I panicked. Like, I didn't know what to do. I unplugged the whole thing and threw it outside. Oh, my God. Yeah, backyard. And then the paper just kind of, like, disintegrated and it was over.
Bobby Bones
Did you not chase it down with, like, fire extinguisher or water or anything?
Eddie
Because I didn't want to ruin them. It's a really nice air fryer.
Bobby Bones
Your whole house might have burned.
Eddie
I know, I know. But the fire was contained in the little. In the oven. So, like, I felt like I could grab it and it wasn't hot. Felt like I could grab it and just throw it out. But, man, it was scary. We almost lost the whole house.
Amy
So I guess now you know, like, your particular unit can't handle the parchment paper.
Eddie
Yeah, but it was at 400, and I put it low, so it was actually touching one of those barbs, you know, like the heat rods or whatever. So don't. Don't do that. I'll put the parchment paper under the pizza next time, not, like, at the bottom of the oven.
Bobby Bones
You learned a lesson.
Amy
You put it at the bottom of the oven.
Bobby Bones
To me, that didn't stick out because I don't know enough about it. Why would you laugh? Because you would expect the heat to come in.
Amy
Because I would expect what exactly happened to him to happen.
Eddie
Well, my wife said the paper is, like, fireproof. And I'm like, well, cool. I'll put it right on the very bottom where it's, like, close to those. Those heating rods. But no.
Amy
Yeah, but okay. Yeah, it's fine. You learned.
Bobby Bones
Is it because you got herpes?
Eddie
Google it. So, yeah, that was close one, guys.
Bobby Bones
So the good news is no house fire. And your oven is still good. Correct.
Eddie
And my smoke alarms are pretty awesome.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Amy
I love that they talk to us now.
Eddie
Yeah, but they freak out. They freak the kids out. The kids, like, one of them ran out naked from the shower. Like, what's happening,
Morgan
Mom, can I have Lingokids, Dad? Lingokids, please.
Eddie
When did we become the Lingokids house?
Amy
No idea. Last week it was dinosaurs.
Morgan
This week it's Lingokids.

Geico Gecko
Bobby 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
All right, Amy, you're up.
Amy
I did sprints this morning, and so we had Dr. Kellum in the other day telling Eddie that he recently read a study about how sprints will help produce testosterone. So I thought, I'm gonna wake up early. All I did was five sp. Nothing crazy. I didn't have a lot of time, but I did 30 second sprints with a minute and a half rest in between. And I gotta say, it felt pretty good. And I'm bumping up my testosterone maybe potentially with that. Obviously, I'm gonna have to do it more than once, but I'm excited because my blood work appointment is today. So I'll find out today if my testosterone has gone up.
Bobby Bones
Well, it won't be from those five sprints that you did.
Amy
Right. I know.
Bobby Bones
That's like eating broccoli once. Like, oh, my God, I am so healthy.
Amy
I know. It's just all related to testosterone. My. Tell me something good is that I'm thankful my. My follow up blood appointment is finally here. Cause I've been waiting to see if my testosterone yam pellet is producing me some more testosterone. But then also, I was proud of myself for getting up like 15 minutes early to do my 5 minute or my 30 second sprints. With a minute and a half, I would say to do that whole thing, it's about a 10 minute session. Sprint for 30, rest for a minute and a half, sprint for 30, rest for a minute AND a half.
Bobby Bones
A 30 second sprint. I don't think is a sprint hard.
Lunchbox
No.
Amy
What? At the end of it, I'm like,
Bobby Bones
yeah, yeah, you can be dying.
Eddie
I think that's a lot.
Bobby Bones
Right? But that's. That's extreme.
Amy
But my. How long should I be doing?
Lunchbox
100 meters max.
Amy
Well, how far is that? How many seconds is that?
Bobby Bones
No, probably about seven, six, four.
Amy
Oh, so you think I need to sprint for less seconds? Say more.
Bobby Bones
It's not about less seconds. It's yes, if you sprint that long, you're begging to have your hamstring pulled. But I don't think you're sprinting. I think you're going faster and it's taking your breath away. But a real sprint is going almost as hard as you can.
Amy
I feel like I was going pretty much as hard as I can.
Bobby Bones
I'm not doubting you aren't going hard.
Morgan
Okay.
Amy
And here I based that workout off of something I Saw a year ago, which, to your point, I quit doing it because my right hamstring started bothering me. But, you know, I've started stretching the last few months, so maybe my hamstring's in a better place. But I saw a doctor on a podcast saying, for women, you need to exert yourself for 30 seconds, like, as hard as you can go for 30 seconds, and then rest for a minute and a half. Whether it's lifting weights or some sort of endurance training like sprints, that is really beneficial. And just doing the 5. 5 exertions is adequate for a woman. Obviously, you need to do other types of workouts, but if you're looking for something quick, like, that can be really great for older women, more mature women. I don't know what geriatric women.
Bobby Bones
I don't want you to think. We don't think you're not working hard. 30 seconds is probably not intense and a little too long.
Amy
Okay, so like, on a treadmill, I'm at a nine.
Bobby Bones
That's fast. Yeah, that's fast.
Amy
Like, I pump it up to 9.30seconds, and then I'm great.
Lunchbox
Good.
Bobby Bones
That could be it.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, so a treadmill. So you do know you're maintaining. I didn't know if you couldn't tell you were maintaining the normal speed. I thought you were doing it around the block.
Eddie
Yeah, I thought you were outside.
Amy
I'm not gonna go in the dark.
Eddie
That's what I thought.
Lunchbox
Well, that's what I was saying. So maybe 30 seconds is okay. I was thinking you're outside and you think you're running as fast as you were at the beginning, but you're pretty much slowing down.
Amy
If I didn't have the treadmill, I wouldn't trust myself. I'd be like, if you're on a
Bobby Bones
nine, that's hard work. That's good. Just be careful with your hamstrings. That's why adults don't do it.
Amy
Yeah, I'm glad you reminded me of that, because it was a year ago that I heard the podcast about the doctor saying that. So I was doing more of those sprint type things, and then all of a sudden, my hamstring went out, and I couldn't even jog anymore. I mean, then I went, no running. And then I think November Stevenson did his half marathon for Haiti, and I joined him on a mile for that. And I don't even know. I think that was adrenaline, because I was like, I'm helping Stevenson raise money for Haiti, but I just. I can't. It's Crazy to me. I used to be a hardcore runner.
Bobby Bones
Which part's crazy? The mental part or the physical? Because physical. Understandable. I used to be a hardcore business.
Amy
Just that I thought. Either I thought I enjoyed it or I truly did enjoy it. Like high school, college, and college is when I ran the marathon. Like I used to go run four miles for like with music and be like, I meet up with my friends, hey, let's go run Town Lake for the six mile loop. Like that's what I used to like. I can't imagine doing that.
Bobby Bones
I ran yesterday. I hate running, but I'm only running to get my ankle better.
Amy
And how was it?
Bobby Bones
I think Michael's getting. Definitely getting there. But I'm not pushing it. Pushing it every time. I just try to run 15 seconds faster. But I'll run a mile before, I work out a mile after and just try to do 15 seconds faster than last time. And so I did it at 8:45 yesterday. That's where I've gotten to on my. Still not what I would consider fast. But if I push it, I'll end up hurting my ankle again.
Amy
Yeah, you don't want that.
Bobby Bones
So I won't run today. Tomorrow I'll do it again. Do a mile before, do my workout, do a mile after, try to hit 8:30. I'll probably cap out around 8 and just start doing that regularly. But Micron's like 50 miles at 6 minute paces. It's crazy. But I'm not a runner. This guy runs like crazy.
Amy
Mike and Stevenson, y' all should go for a run.
Eddie
Do a long run.
Amy
Yeah, he wants to. So speaking of his. The half marathon he did in November for Haiti. This November, he wants to do a full one.
Bobby Bones
Well, you need to get Abby on that. She's taking our money. Doing the same thing over and over again.
Geico Gecko
Dang.
Amy
But I'm like, maybe he needs to get with Mike. Mike D. I mean, does Mike like running?
Eddie
You like running with people?
Bobby Bones
I've never run with anybody before.
Amy
Oh, Stevenson. He doesn't need to talk.
Bobby Bones
Perfect. So I did that. I didn't think about that. Did that yesterday. It was the two month appointment for the baby. So we did that. And like they keep this baby book where they put down how much height, head weight, all the stuff. You guys probably know about it. If you don't. I'll tell you about it later. I'll give you guys some advice. But she's like 80%, 85% in everything. Large kid.
Amy
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Not a large. Still small. I Don't even know how big baby's supposed to be, but we looked at all the percentiles and it's like 85%, 85%, 88%.
Amy
So she's in the healthy range for her age?
Bobby Bones
No, large, I guess.
Eddie
I don't know.
Amy
Percentage. 80. That's a lot.
Eddie
The higher the number, the. Yeah, the more rare it is, right?
Lunchbox
80th percent.
Bobby Bones
You got it, you got it. Hang in there, hang in there.
Lunchbox
80th percentile means you're in the top 80. Like there's only 20% of all kids that age that are bigger than you. Oh, so you're bigger than 80% of the kids.
Eddie
That's good. Lunchbox.
Amy
But I feel like that's good.
Bobby Bones
Like, oh yeah, it is healthy.
Amy
She's going to be a star.
Bobby Bones
Well, I don't know. It's not on me. Who knows? I don't know. Not going to put any sort of pressure.
Lunchbox
She's already training her.
Amy
No pressure.
Bobby Bones
But she does an 11 minute mile. Yeah, yeah, 11 minute mile. So that was good. I talked about in the other part of the podcast, I had to go and get some medicine, but it's amazing how much everybody is so smart about a baby's needs. Meaning I mentioned that the baby had acid reflux really bad. And I had 72 people telling me exactly what the problem was.
Amy
And they were all different.
Bobby Bones
And they were all different and they knew exactly. And it's like you should do. It was like with my wife and on the Bobby cast that her and I did, she has been on chemo now for a long time. The chemo pills, the low grade and she has an autoimmune that's really bad. And people were like, why don't you just go to a homeopathic doctor? And my wife's like, I've been, I've been. And people keep going like, just go all natural and try that. She's like, dude, I've done everything. I mean we've tried every. We went through a process, like a years long process. But I would say if someone suggests, why don't you just do this? We tried it, but everyone is so a matter of fact and so sure about their way. Like, if you just do this, you're better. You don't even know what she has. And she's like, people will be like, why don't you just do this? That would solve it. And she's so the Internet's really smart.
Amy
Very.
Bobby Bones
They think they are. But yeah, baby's good. Got some medicine. Healthy. Ran A mile. Arkansas won their first game of the SEC tournament, which was good. They beat Mississippi State, 3, 0. They're playing Lexington, Kentucky. Lexington, Kentucky. They play Alabama today. So everything's good. We're rocking.
Amy
Rockin'.
Bobby Bones
I still haven't shaken off that. Not going to bed till 3 o' clock in the morning on Sunday morning. Saturday night after we flew back from my heart country. I haven't shaken that yet. Like, I'm older, you get the harder it is to do that crap.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like I'm not fully back on my. I don't have a good schedule anyway, but like, I'm hurting a little bit still from that you.
Morgan
Well, probably should you have the baby too?
Amy
I feel like today I felt. It's the first morning where I felt. Which maybe that's why I woke up and did some sprints. But I feel like today I'm feeling you are back to normal, you.
Eddie
No, no, I'm not normal.
Bobby Bones
It hurts, right?
Eddie
I'm still really lingering hurt. Yes. I don't know when I'm gonna feel better.
Amy
Did you drink at all, Eddie?
Eddie
Yeah, of course I did.
Amy
Oh, see, I didn't. I haven't really had much since the cruise, to be honest.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, she went down.
Amy
Yeah. That wrecked me bad, saving up her.
Bobby Bones
So you're still hurting from the cruise? I'm hurting from the weekend.
Amy
Like, the cruise was late February, early March. And I think Eddie or we were somewhere side stager Elizabeth, who we work with, she was like, oh, here, I got an extra drink. Do you want it? And I was like, I don't think so.
Abby
I just.
Amy
I can't. I don't know what it. I mean, even just one drink, it would be fine. But it happened to be vodka, which vodka?
Morgan
What was.
Amy
Is the main ingredient in the lychee martini that I had on the boat? And that was just. Yeah, we don't want that trouble even saying lychee. It hurts.
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

Last one Wednesday, three generations of the same family graduated together at Utah Valley University's Class of 2026. And not just mom and daughter, which happens. And that's still really cool. Grandma, mom and daughter, Diana, Melissa and Hadley all received bachelor's degrees. They finished the same semester. They did not plan on the timing happening. It came as a surprise when they kind of compare their schedules because one of them had one class they had to get in. And so Diane has Been working toward the degree for 40 years. She stepped away for work and responsibilities back in the olden days. You know, you guys have to do back in the old house. And so they all. That's really, that's a really crazy picture. It's like a picture that that family will love forever. That's a really cool picture. I haven't seen the picture but I'm sure they all took one together. All three in their gowns. That's awesome. That's from People magazine. That's what it's all about. That was Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with am Something Good.

So after seeing a Facebook post about a local woman desperately in need of a life saving transplant, Carissa Smith of Sisterville, West Virginia donated part of her liver to save someone that she had never met.
Bobby Bones
Just scrolling. Huh.
Amy
Scrolling Facebook she was like, I think, I think I want to get tested. She's a school based probation officer at Tyler Consolidated High School and she registered as a living donor through the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. After she got tested, she got approved. She found her match, underwent surgery earlier this year and all is well. They removed half of her liver.
Bobby Bones
Just scrolling saw it and was moved by it. That's. I have a guy, I would say kind of a friend, I know him, but his wife was at a Starbucks and saw a flyer for somebody that needed a kidney and she was like, huh, she don't need a kidney.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
To that person. And now they have, you know, like they'll see each other during the holidays. They're not like super, super close, but they make a point just like see each other, but it was just from a random like picture in a Starbucks.
Amy
That's cool that they get to see each other. Karissa said she still hasn't met her recipient. The recipient's been battling illness for years and has two children. She hopes to connect with them in the future, but it's just really special that she just saw on Facebook and decided to do it.
Bobby Bones
Eddie under his breath went that's really cool. I don't know if he wants us to acknowledge. He keeps saying it.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Every, every donation story he's always.
Bobby Bones
And then he's like, why do you always come back to me? But under his breath he's like that's really cool.
Eddie
So cool. Like you guys talk about like scrol,
Bobby Bones
you know, it's cool. But you're the one that's always said you're going to do it and you never have done it.
Eddie
No, I. All I've said is like that one day, that'd be so cool to do. Like I would love to do that someday. And like, you know, I'm not scrolling. I get to hear all these stories every day at my work all the time. Livers, kidneys being donated. That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
You're right.
Amy
Your moment will come.
Bobby Bones
It won't.
Lunchbox
It won't.
Bobby Bones
You will never half of it.
Lunchbox
You'll never do it.
Amy
But your liver will grow back.
Eddie
That's half of it.
Lunchbox
But it grows back in like a few weeks.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
