This is the Bobby Bones Show. Let's welcome to Thursday's show morning studio.
Friend/Fellow Host
Morning.
Bobby Bones
So Karen Reed, she was acquitted. It was the murder case up in Boston, near Boston. Everybody remember that where. Oh yeah, boyfriend was killed.
Amy
Police officer.
Bobby Bones
Police officer hit by a car.
Amy
They were at a. They went to a party of other fellow police officers and so this is.
Bobby Bones
The first time that she's spoken publicly since the verdict. This is from CBS News. Here you go.
Eddie
I don't have a job. I don't have a home anymore. I'm just kind of in no man's land. Every waking hour, every hour, I thought.
Bobby Bones
About my freedom and if I could lose it.
Amy
Those feelings just don't disappear.
Eddie
When a jury foreman says, not guilty.
Amy
I do feel I've had this delayed reaction to the persecution. I can't miss him in a few.
Eddie
Weeks and say, just thinking of you.
Amy
Or can I drop by and see you? I've never been forced to deal with such finality. I've never had a death that.
Bobby Bones
That close to me. She said she's leaving Massachusetts as soon as possible, but she doesn't have any money yet. And why? Because there are laws that say you can't make money off of something if you're guilty. And only in some states they end up finding out that she can make money if she were to go to prison. Massachusetts doesn't have that law. So she could have made money off, like, the documentaries and stuff they were doing, but she didn't make any money from it. But she doesn't have any money. She's trying to adjust and get her life back. Thank God, if she didn't do it, which she didn't. She's not guilty, that she wasn't found guilty. Yeah, but I would think about. I'd be so obsessed with thinking I'm gonna spend the rest of my life in prison when I'm on trial, even if I didn't do it. So, yeah, she's back doing her thing. There's a wrongful death lawsuit still pending, but eventually. Right. They gotta go and try to find somebody else. Are they just giving up on it now?
Amy
Yeah, that's what I was missing.
Bobby Bones
So weird.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They were so attached to her being the person that. What, now they're just not investigating anymore?
Amy
Yeah. If it's not her, then who is it?
Bobby Bones
Somebody. It's somebody. Yep. So, yeah, that was weird. But rooting for Hope, she's able to bounce back. And I'm sure she will. I'm sure she'll be able to make money if she writes a book, if she does movies. But right now she doesn't have much. She's living. What baby names are headed for extinction? So these are the ones that almost aren't even on the list anymore once they go to, like, the public Social Security Bureau. I think I made that bureau up.
Amy
Sounds legit.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So here are the names that are declining so fast, I think they're about to fall off. Charlie. C H A R L E I G H. Charlie. This is a girl. I like that name.
Amy
I like Charlie as a girl.
Bobby Bones
McKinley.
Amy
Cute.
Bobby Bones
Trisha. Okay, that's just people putting letters together. Yeah, that's just people going, let's just say chat. GPT. Assign us a random name that. Prusha. Sasha.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Phil's foreign.
Amy
Kasha. Baron. Cohen.
Bobby Bones
Ezra.
Amy
I like Ezra. That's cute.
Bobby Bones
Those are the ones falling off for boys. These names are. I never heard some of these names. I can't even believe enough people name their kids this. That. It was on the list again. This is America. Killian. K Y L I A N. Oh, nope. ATHARV. A T H A R V. Down 373 spots.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, that's not surprising.
Bobby Bones
AARV.
Amy
So there's more than one Atharv.
Bobby Bones
Has to be Enoch. Okay, well, there was a Book of Enoch. Still the Book of Enoch.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Or is that.
Amy
Oh, is that in the Bible?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's not in the Bible. In the current Bible, but depending on what you read historically was. At one point they removed it.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Just depends. On. On Enoch was a prophet, which is why it's a whole. That's a whole side thing. Eddie's fasting today, so, you know.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, man. Tell me more.
Amy
Well, no, you tell us. You're fasting, aren't you?
Friend/Fellow Host
I'll pray.
Amy
Suddenly more spiritual.
Bobby Bones
Crew. C R U E. Yeah, I know a couple crews. Crews or crew? Crew Crew. And Huxley.
Friend/Fellow Host
I know one.
Bobby Bones
Hux, but is it Huxley?
Friend/Fellow Host
Yes, they call him Hux.
Bobby Bones
I get that the Huxtable name is down after old Cliff.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I get that. Makes sense.
Bobby Bones
Cliff got in trouble. USA Today with that story. But those are the names that are falling off the baby list. You can actually get drunk from eating pizza. Ever heard of this?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
Why are you so excited?
Friend/Fellow Host
Because I eat a lot of pizza. Tell me more.
Amy
Yeah, I don't think you have this.
Bobby Bones
People with auto brewery syndrome have in their gut a bacteria that takes carbs and turns it into what alcohol does to you. And you get drunk off carbs.
Friend/Fellow Host
So every time you eat, like, bread or like pizza crust, you're like. You get a little drunk.
Bobby Bones
Researchers have finally identified the culprits and biochemical pathways behind this bizarre condition. These findings could revolutionize treatment for patients who have been dismissed as secret drinkers for years. Because they would go in and, like, I think your husband's secretly drinking and it's why he's acting this way. Yeah, but it was in their body. Their. Their. Inside their guts. Like, about like a. Yeah. Gut bacteria would be what it is. It turns that into the effects of what alcohol has on you, which is.
Amy
Crazy to know that you haven't had anything, but yet you are impaired in some way.
Bobby Bones
Imagine. You get it. Nobody believes you.
Amy
Yeah. And you're like, no, all I ate.
Bobby Bones
Was bread and then pepperoni pizza, Officer.
Friend/Fellow Host
Then they stick you into aa, like, because you. They think you have a problem.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, I would say jail or. Yeah. In rehab.
Friend/Fellow Host
Because you've been lying. Because that's when people think you're a problem. Like, you've been lying about it.
Amy
You're in denial.
Friend/Fellow Host
I've just been eating pizza.
Amy
But that's when you say, okay, you're gonna stay by my side for 48 hours, and you're gonna see that I'm not drinking anything.
Bobby Bones
But I think you'd have to also eat those carbs in that specific time to prove that you're drunk without drinking alcohol. Like, if you just go watch and they could sit with you, like, okay, you're not drinking, but. But you're also not drunk.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You're saying you're getting drunk off of no alcohol. I want to see you get drunk off. No, out. Prove it, wise guy.
Amy
So I'm curious. If they were to blow into a breathalyzer, would they blow positive alcohol?
Bobby Bones
22 patients showed blood alcohol levels.
Amy
Yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
They would up after eating carbohydrates.
Friend/Fellow Host
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
So I don't know if they would blow it, but blood it for sure. Because, you know, they can also take blood and tell if you're drunk or not. I don't know if it would come out your mouth, but, yeah, study fines with the story, but there are people. But now drunks are going to be.
Friend/Fellow Host
Like, no.
Bobby Bones
I got carbo, gut, bacteria. And one other story, because they're really trying to get us to care about the Winter Olympics. Have you seen the bobsled team for America?
Amy
What happened?
Bobby Bones
They couldn't even jump in the car.
Amy
No way.
Bobby Bones
They're all pushing it, running with it.
Amy
Well, you have one job to get in that thing.
Bobby Bones
And, like, one of them flies. His body flies over the top of the.
Lunchbox
And there was only one person left in the thing. And all three are sprawled out. It was so embarrassing.
Bobby Bones
It looked like it hurt.
Friend/Fellow Host
Like, was it a camera that caught him? That wasn't supposed to be like, no.
Bobby Bones
It'S just them recording their trials, their practices, because you Want to record it so you can see every little thing that you're doing? How to get better. Just game tape.
Friend/Fellow Host
This is not good.
Bobby Bones
And they're running. It just looks like a TV shot. And boom. One flies off, another flies off.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Bobby Bones
Are you watching it?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
U.S. bobsled driver Chris Horn survived a terrifying World cup run at St. Moritz after his three teammates failed to load into the four man sled. He raced alone, no added weight, no one to help break. He still reached speeds of 75 miles per hour. This poor guy's in there like. All right, guys, Guys, Guys.
Amy
Hey, where you at?
Eddie
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
New York Post without you. See it?
Amy
What a mishap. Oh, this is tragic.
Lunchbox
Oh, no. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm telling you, it looks bad. It hurts. Oh, no. That one guy that went off the right side immediately flew off. Since we're the host nation, we get a free team in every event, regardless we qualify or not.
Amy
Is this our free team?
Friend/Fellow Host
What do you mean? We're the host.
Lunchbox
No, we're not. We're going over that. Maybe.
Bobby Bones
Maybe the World Cup.
Lunchbox
Yeah, World Cup. We got in automatically.
Friend/Fellow Host
I was like, they're having this here.
Bobby Bones
Summer Olympics I'm talking about.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Since we're the host nation in the Olympics. Because network winner. We're never gonna. We hosted in Colorado once, right? Utah.
Friend/Fellow Host
That sounds familiar.
Bobby Bones
Utah.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I think you're right.
Bobby Bones
But in the Olympics, if you host and we're the host nation in two years.
Lunchbox
Right?
Bobby Bones
Two years for the summer.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We get to have a team in everything.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
I was watching a girl on Tick Tock do the trials for handball. She's never once played handball, but she was a college athlete and she said, I'm gonna try for handball. We get a team in everything because we're the host nation. And she's like, almost made the team. And handballs, where you, like, run with.
Lunchbox
It, that is a fun sport to watch.
Bobby Bones
But we suck because we don't play a lot of these events. But since we get a team and everything, we just take the worst or. Sorry. The best of the sucks.
Friend/Fellow Host
I mean, I don't know about you guys, but I'm excited for the Winter Olympics.
Lunchbox
I mean, I'll watch it. Like, I. I like it. I mean, I don't even understand why they ski and then they pull out a gun and shoot something. They ski. Oh, that one's cool.
Friend/Fellow Host
The cross country hunt.
Lunchbox
It makes no sense, but we don't.
Bobby Bones
Even know what it's called thing. Yeah. New York Post. It's crazy, huh?
Amy
Yeah, it is. That's feel really bad for them.
Bobby Bones
I got hit hard with that cell phone outage yesterday.
Amy
Yeah, same.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
All day, pretty much.
Bobby Bones
And I guess I didn't notice it at first because I had WI Fi, so I wasn't getting any calls. But you can get texts, and so nobody really calls me anyway. But I had a rough moment yesterday. I left the house, I had already ordered Sonic, and then I got there, tried to check in on my mobile app. No service, so I had to push the red button and say, oh, hey, it's Bobby. I got a mobile order. And they were like, what? Why are you calling us? I know. Confusing. Rough day.
Amy
I'm sure they had to deal with that. Like, you couldn't have been the only person a little helpless, though.
Friend/Fellow Host
Dude, I bet you it was hard for you. It was.
Bobby Bones
That was a hard one. I was gonna write a book about it.
Amy
As long as you're like, how often are you not near WI Fi?
Bobby Bones
No, I agree. And I never talk on the phone.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, almost never. So I didn't even notice until I was driving to Sonic and I said, oh, oh, no. And then I got there and said, oh, I still can't check in. So I pushed the red button.
Amy
I noticed right when I left work. So, yeah, I was connected to WI Fi. I couldn't tell. And then when I was leaving, tried to make a phone call, wouldn't go through, got my car, kept trying to call over and over, and I say, why, though?
Bobby Bones
Like a hack or something? I don't know. Like, no, I just am making that up. But for the whole system to go down for hours over multiple states, That's. That's Russia again. I don't know that I'm just making that. Or China. It's one of the two.
Amy
It kind of took me back a little bit. Back in the day when we didn't. I couldn't make a phone call while driving, you know.
Bobby Bones
It took you back? Oh, it took me forward to when the world is ending and it's the apocalypse and we're not able to talk.
Amy
Sure. There could be that too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You went backward. I went forward.
Amy
Yeah. I went back and I was kind of like, this is. This is nice.
Lunchbox
So what happened? This is the first time I had no idea there was a cell phone outage.
Friend/Fellow Host
It was only one provider, right?
Bobby Bones
It's Verizon. I have Verizon. Do you have Verizon?
Amy
Same.
Lunchbox
I have Verizon.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Last lunchbox, your phone was out.
Bobby Bones
Your phone Was out all day.
Lunchbox
No idea.
Bobby Bones
Last night, probably 7:30 or it came back, I was. The Arkansas Razorback basketball game was 8 o' clock last night. We got to stop this.
Friend/Fellow Host
It's too late.
Bobby Bones
It's a disaster for me because I will stay up and watch it. Luckily, we beat the pants off South Carolina. And so midway through second half, I was able to, like, just halfway check out. But these games are too late. Yeah, I know. The game came. The phone came back right before that. But I had a weird day yesterday. I take my car in this light wouldn't go off on the inside, and there was a broken tail light. But I go to this place, and every time I go in, they find something else wrong with my car. It's almost like an oil change. When you go in and they bring you your filter and it's green and stuff's growing off of it, and they're like, well, you need this and 72 new wiper blades. And you're like, really? Okay. But I go in and they say, you got a nail in both your back tires. And it wouldn't be weird if it was just that every time I go in, they find something else wrong with my car.
Amy
Well, so you legit have two nails in your back tires?
Bobby Bones
No, they replace the tires. How to get to two new tires, That's a problem.
Amy
No, I know, but I mean, you.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
You were like, show me.
Friend/Fellow Host
No, no, you didn't look it up. You were saying, show me.
Lunchbox
Yes, I would have said if they.
Bobby Bones
Did that they put the nails in them. If they're saying that, they're committing to that.
Lunchbox
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I dropped it off. Dropped my car off, Ubered home, and got home, and they called and said, hey, we got two nails, one in each back tire.
Amy
Your tire pressure was good, though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was great.
Amy
See, I have a warning for tire pressure right now.
Bobby Bones
And it's not just that. It's every time I take the car in, something is wrong with it. Something extra. So I don't know.
Friend/Fellow Host
I bet there's a note there that says, like, oh, this is the guy that doesn't check when we tell him something's wrong.
Amy
Right? They're like, just say there's nails.
Friend/Fellow Host
He falls for it every time.
Amy
He doesn't even look.
Bobby Bones
Has anybody ever worked at a car place?
Commercial Announcer
I don't.
Friend/Fellow Host
They're not gonna admit it, dude. I know they won't admit it.
Bobby Bones
If we had a voice changer, I'd put them on and be like, yeah, we Used to do that. We used to put nails in tire. Because once.
Amy
Oh, that seems extreme.
Lunchbox
I wouldn't.
Bobby Bones
You don't think people don't do that? Why shouldn't shady people?
Lunchbox
Because you're not in there watching to.
Amy
Go for two tires.
Bobby Bones
No, I agree, but it's so bold. You don't question it because you go, well, that's bold for two tires.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, that's what happened yesterday. And then I ended up getting the car back. They. They drove it back over to my house at like 7. It's night. It gets night at 4 o' clock now. They drove it over at like 7:15 last night, dropped it off. But I have two new tires. Except had to pay for two new tires.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, that's not good.
Bobby Bones
No. And that sucks. Yeah. Our phone number is 877-77-BOBBY. You guys can call us if you want. 87777 b o b b y. I want to play a voicemail here. Play me number six, please. Raymondo.
Eddie
Eddie doing the fast.
Bobby Bones
First of all, I think it's awesome.
Eddie
Second of all, I heard the lady.
Bobby Bones
Call in saying that.
Eddie
Not supposed to brag about it.
Amy
I mean, yeah, it does kind of.
Bobby Bones
Talk about that in the Bible, but.
Eddie
I don't think that Eddie did it in that sort of way at all. If Eddie's heart is in the right place, he didn't do anything wrong. Do your fast and let God bless you.
Bobby Bones
That's what I think.
Lunchbox
Bye.
Bobby Bones
This is the first morning of your fast.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Feeling good. Checking in.
Friend/Fellow Host
Feeling good, man.
Bobby Bones
Hungry?
Friend/Fellow Host
No, not yet. Dude. I ate a lot last night though. Like, I ate a lot because I knew I wasn't gonna be eating for the next four days. So I'm like, load it up, baby.
Bobby Bones
What'd you eat?
Amy
Kind of the next 20 days, but.
Friend/Fellow Host
Well, I mean, the water fast or whatever the liquid fast is. 4 days I ate my. Well, for dinner that we had King Ranch casserole, which is one of my favorites.
Bobby Bones
That sounds good.
Friend/Fellow Host
So good. Loaded up on that. Ate a lot of Fritos with that because it goes with Fritos, the big.
Bobby Bones
Scoop ones you guys want to do. What'd you have for dinner again?
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, I love it.
Bobby Bones
Can you give us some dinner music? Okay, Eddie, keep going.
Friend/Fellow Host
Okay. And then I had ice cream for dessert. I also had chips and salsa before dinner.
Bobby Bones
Chips.
Lunchbox
What?
Friend/Fellow Host
Chips and salsa.
Bobby Bones
Okay, There you go.
Friend/Fellow Host
And then I think, no, I ended with the ice cream, dude. I ate like half a tub of ice cream. And then we're good. Let's Go fast, baby.
Bobby Bones
All right. What'd you have for dinner, Amy?
Amy
Chick fil A. So my son got the sandwich number one, I guess, with pickles. And I got nuggets with Mac and cheese, and I cut the nuggets up, and I stir them into the Mac and cheese, and it's so good.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I had mozzarella sticks for the appetizer, and then I had some kind of salad that my wife ordered. I ate half of that, and I had a spicy Hawaiian pizza. So it's Hawaiian pizza with jalapenos. Some restaurant. I don't know what it's called.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like you had three different dinners.
Friend/Fellow Host
Mozzarella sticks.
Lunchbox
Well, that's the appetizer, because you got to keep the kids like they're starving when you get to a restaurant. So you just order something right away so they get something out there to have, something to not on before their main course gets there. And restaurant was a little slow and. Yeah. So that. And then my wife ordered a salad, and she didn't eat it all. And I was like, well, I'm not going to let it go to waste. Better eat that sucker.
Bobby Bones
And Eddie's honor.
Friend/Fellow Host
Thank you for doing that.
Bobby Bones
We had some ground turkey leftover. I basically just combined a bunch of leftovers last night. Did you know there's a setting on the microwave, and we don't have a new microwave, and you push it, and it just kind of figures out how long to heat it up?
Friend/Fellow Host
Oh, no, I don't have that.
Bobby Bones
I need to ask my wife what the setting is, but I was. Because I did. There were some black beans. We had leftover and some rice from when my wife made salmon.
Amy
And you ate leftover rice from the night before.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Friend/Fellow Host
What's wrong with that?
Amy
I just keep seeing everyone. We're not supposed to do that. It could be deadly.
Friend/Fellow Host
What? What's wrong with you?
Bobby Bones
I did it from one day.
Friend/Fellow Host
Amy, relax.
Amy
You need to ask for this to show up in your TikTok feed because it will terrify you.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to be terrified. I had some rice from the night before.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So I had that, and so I mixed it all up, and it was kind of like a little Mexican bowl. Also in honor of Eddie. Hey, thank you, man.
Friend/Fellow Host
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
In honor of Eddie. And that was it. And then I just tried to stay awake and watch the Razorback basketball game.
Friend/Fellow Host
Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Friend/Fellow Host
We need to know more about this setting. Setting, dude.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Let me ask my wife, because mine.
Friend/Fellow Host
Only has, like, popcorn and.
Bobby Bones
No, she said, I'll Just message her.
Lunchbox
Real quick.
Amy
So, like, it knows if it's frozen.
Bobby Bones
Hey, what's the setting on the microwave that you told me to push? That cooked my food so perfectly last night and heated it up perfectly. We're talking about it right now on the show. Thanks.
Friend/Fellow Host
She's gonna be like, I just told you to put one minute.
Bobby Bones
No, she's like telling you she. She heats it.
Amy
Good.
Bobby Bones
When she heats, it's perfect because she heats it, then mixes it. And I never do that, but I forget the setting. But I pushed it. And I'm telling you, it is heated all throughout. I don't even know if it's like a new microwave thing. Everybody might have known about this setting for 10 years, and I didn't know about it. Okay, so she'll hit me back.

Lunchbox
No.
Amy
That makes sense.
Friend/Fellow Host
Sounds cool.
Bobby Bones
There are buttons on the microwave I've never even explored. You know, Amy says she does curiosity walks where she goes and walks around new parts of her neighborhood. I feel like I could do this with a microwave because there's like all that's like 10 buttons. I never push those buttons.
Amy
Curiosity settings.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so it's called Sensor reheat. I put a full plate in of leftovers that I made like a little Mexican dish out of. Just hit Sensor reheat, the whole thing.
Friend/Fellow Host
And it was good. Perfect.
Bobby Bones
That warmed up perfectly. Nothing even cold in the middle of it. So try that at home. Although there are probably 30% of the listeners right now that are going, yeah, moron, everybody knows that button. Let's go to Alexa in Austin. Hey, Alexa, you're on the show.
Eddie
Hey. Morning.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Eddie
So, Bobby, you were mentioning earlier about every time you go to the dealership.
Bobby Bones
It feels like, not dealership. I want to make it. Make this. It's not the dealership. It is a place that works on cars, so they have.
Amy
They have their maintenance area.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I just don't want anybody to think it's like the Hyundai dealership.
Friend/Fellow Host
It's an auto shop.
Bobby Bones
It's an auto shop. Yes. Yes. Go ahead, Alexa. I'm sorry.
Eddie
Okay. When you. When you go to the auto shop. My dad used to be a mechanic way back in the 90s, and he said. He did mention to me one time. I remember that not everywhere, but in some places, it does happen, where maybe they might run up the time or tell you that there's different issues with your car that maybe aren't as important, but it's like. It's like upselling with, like, sales. It's a really easy way to kind of get someone to pay the auto shop more for something that they might not really have to deal with. So whenever I go to the auto shop, I always come back with a list of things, and my dad's like, no, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine. So there might be some truth to that, but that's just me, one person with my one story.
Bobby Bones
You know, I need, like, a husband to go with me and just make sure everything's right.
Amy
Maybe you could send it to her dad.
Bobby Bones
Taking advantage.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's a good idea.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't even think about it. Except for the three or four times that I've been there, there's always been something extra that's, like, broken or wrong.
Amy
Have you considered going to a different auto shop?
Bobby Bones
Nah, this one's close.
Friend/Fellow Host
My house, it's convenient.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but, yeah, I imagine they do that. I was just hit with two tires yesterday.
Amy
What if you say next time you go, hey, every time I come here, there's always something, I said that last time.
Friend/Fellow Host
You did?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Friend/Fellow Host
And what did they say?
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
They're like, no, well, go somewhere else.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we have a lot of broken stuff. Yeah, they hit me with two tires. Let's go over and talk to Josh. This is about Lunchbox's car wreck, when he was like, I feel great after the car wreck. Hey, Josh.
Josh
Hey. Morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Josh
Yeah, I've worked in the medical field for over 15 years, and I just wanted to say that no matter how you feel after an accident, like lunchboxes that you should always go get checked out. What happens in that situation is your body just becomes flooded with adrenaline because it's in a situation that's dangerous and it wants to get away. So you might not actually fully be feeling the effects of any damage to you. So it's always a good idea to go get checked out just to make sure when you're. When you're in a situation like you were in. And also, second part, if you don't get checked out so close and you are injured, the insurance companies are a lot harder to fight later on down the road if something is wrong.
Bobby Bones
How do you. How do you feel now?
Lunchbox
I gotta be honest, last night and this morning, my back has been very uncomfortable. The lower back.
Bobby Bones
Do you think it has anything to do with the testicle? The stomach?
Lunchbox
I would say that's more the wreck. And I took Advil.
Bobby Bones
We told you.
Lunchbox
And I was like, man. And I didn't want to say anything because I was like, man, my wife is going to be like, I told you, you should have gone to the doctor. I told you to.
Bobby Bones
After she.
Lunchbox
Hold on. And then I didn't want to tell you guys because you guys told me that, but I've been sitting over here just trying not to move my back because it hurts this morning.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, play it up, play it up. No, no, no.
Friend/Fellow Host
I like the voice.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No, no, no, Let us have it. Start crying.
Lunchbox
No, I can't do that. But it has been uncomfortable since last night. You look uncomfortable, and I know, and it. So it does hurt. So I.
Bobby Bones
Which hurts worse, though? The swollen testicle?
Lunchbox
No, no, the bat.
Bobby Bones
I got it.
Friend/Fellow Host
The bat.
Amy
Wow. So it's taken first.
Lunchbox
Like what he said. And I even googled it this morning.
Bobby Bones
He's on you.
Lunchbox
I even googled it and it said. Yeah, because, like. And he's exactly what he said. Google said this morning about how you have all this adrenaline and then it flushes away and the hidden injuries, they pop up. So, I mean, we really told you.
Bobby Bones
You're really playing it good, though.
Lunchbox
No, no. So I had already made it in my mind that I was gonna have to stop by the ER on the way home and have him look at my back.
Amy
Er.
Lunchbox
Well, where else do I know?
Amy
Where does he go?
Lunchbox
Hey, where should I go? Should I go to the ER or what do I do?
Josh
I mean, I would definitely recommend the ER just from the standpoint of depending on the type of injury. Again, going back to the insurance company and getting them to pay for it in the event something More serious is at has happened you. I mean, the ER is always going to be kind of the best bet. And I get that, you know, oh, it's a couple days after the accident, but still, I mean, that would be personally different. What I've seen over the years, what would I would say to do.
Lunchbox
Okay, and this dude sounds really smart.
Bobby Bones
That thing you're doing at the end of your sentences where you're like, that's good. Keep doing that. Because it sounds like it hurts.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, dude, it really does.
Bobby Bones
We have to scrub the Internet from when he goes, I'm great. Never felt better.
Lunchbox
No, I did. I felt good those days, but had all that adrenaline. I'm telling you, last night, it started like, oh, this is not comfortable. And I woke up this morning still not comfortable. And I've been trying to be real chill and not say anything because I want to be tough, but it hurts. So. See, I don't like confessing this stuff to you guys like, I confessed.
Friend/Fellow Host
Dude, forget your pride, man. Your body hurts.
Lunchbox
It does.
Bobby Bones
How much money would you like?
Lunchbox
No, no, there's not. It's not money.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yes, it is.
Lunchbox
No, it is.
Amy
You're telling us you're going to go through all this?
Bobby Bones
The guy wants money for every reason.
Friend/Fellow Host
He always says, like, my name's going to be on the building.
Lunchbox
Hold on. I didn't say I wouldn't take any money.
Bobby Bones
But you got to ask.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah. What do you want?
Bobby Bones
Hey, you should just go to, like, Morgan and Morgan or something instead of er.
Friend/Fellow Host
Good one.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
I got to get my back looked at first so I can go to Morgan.
Friend/Fellow Host
You can do it the same time. Same time. You can call Morgan and Morgan and be like, I'm in the hospital right.
Lunchbox
Now and they'll come meet me there.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, dude, we don't even have a deal with Morgan and Morgan. But I just see the billboards up there everywhere.
Lunchbox
But, yeah, so I will be stopping at the ER after this.
Commercial Announcer
Yeah, keep doing it.
Lunchbox
No, no, I'm telling you guys, it is. I can't really.
Friend/Fellow Host
Is it hard to walk?
Lunchbox
It hurts, like, to move and bend over and stuff. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So your quality of life.
Amy
I like your kids. You can't pick them up.
Bobby Bones
You can't pick up your kids.
Lunchbox
Right. Last night they wanted me to slam them on the couch. I said, guys, I can't lunchbox.
Friend/Fellow Host
Is it hard for you to get into a car? Just like the memories? Is it hard to sit in a car?
Lunchbox
What are you, emotional trauma, Eddie?
Bobby Bones
You're right.
Lunchbox
Getting In a car is very traumatic now, like, sitting in the. If I'm on the road, I'm.
Bobby Bones
Ah, that's tough. Do you know who hit you yet?
Lunchbox
I do know the gender of the individual that did hit me on the road.
Bobby Bones
We're doing a gender reveal for his accident.
Lunchbox
Y.
Bobby Bones
Bring the cake in. We'll cut it, see if it's big.
Lunchbox
I had a listener reach out that said they saw it, that they exit. They were exiting the exit, that I was pulled over on the side of the road, and they saw they had come from the other way, and they saw a guy sitting in the other car.
Amy
Oh, so that's a male.
Friend/Fellow Host
That's the gender. Got it.
Lunchbox
It was a male. They were sitting in the front seat. The airbags deployed, and I was like, that's exactly the wreck. And they were like, yeah, it was a dude. So I know it is now a dude. That's all I know.
Friend/Fellow Host
That's all you know?
Bobby Bones
You don't know?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
It was a Jeep, right? Like some kind of Jeep SUV from the video?
Amy
Yeah, like a smaller Jeep.
Lunchbox
I mean, it looked like a little car after it got done with the Toyota.
Bobby Bones
Are you going to the emergency room today?
Lunchbox
I really am. Okay, like, no joke.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, do that.
Lunchbox
No, no, guys, that. That voice is real.
Bobby Bones
It hurts.
Lunchbox
It does hurt.
Bobby Bones
Are you on Cialis right now, too?
Friend/Fellow Host
No. Please say no.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you always.
Amy
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
So your back hurts and you're taking Cialis right now?
Lunchbox
Yeah, and Advil, Calis and Advil.
Bobby Bones
Can you mix Calis and Advil?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Amy
We should Google that.
Bobby Bones
It's our.
Amy
It's our medical person still.
Bobby Bones
Josh Lunchbox is taking Cialis, and right now he's on it. And Advil. You think that's okay with his back issue?
Josh
Oh, I'm not claiming to be a doctor here. So I. I would say, you know, that's up to Lunchboxes.
Lunchbox
I thought he was a doctor.
Bobby Bones
No, I said he was working in the medical field.
Lunchbox
Oh, so he's an accountant.
Bobby Bones
Who cares?
Amy
According to Google, it's generally safe to combine the two.
Bobby Bones
But what about his back injury and the Cialis? You got to think that that's not helping. Like, there's some real tension down there now in a place where there doesn't need to be tension.
Amy
Oh, wait, now it says, but you should definitely check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Lunchbox
Well, they weren't open. Like, doc, hey, Doc. It's 4:00, doc. I take Advil. No, they don't. They're not aware.
Bobby Bones
I think it's about your back injury. Can you take Cialis if you have a back injury?
Lunchbox
I don't know. And I didn't care. I was. I mean, I just said, oh, there's Advil sitting on the counter. Let me take some of that. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
With Cialis?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was right next to the Cialis bottle.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Thank you, Josh. Appreciate that.
Lunchbox
Wait, what does he do in the medical field?
Bobby Bones
Josh, do you want to share what you do in the medical field?
Josh
Yeah, I. I'm imaging tech, Radiology. So I'd be the guy taking your X rays if you came into the er.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Friend/Fellow Host
He's around it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he's around it.
Bobby Bones
That works. All right, Josh, have a great day, man.
Josh
All right, you, too. Thank you.
Eddie
Bye.
Bobby Bones
You guys call us if you want. 8, 7, 7, 7, 7.
Lunchbox
Bobby?
Bobby Bones
Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband still has a lot of nostalgic items from his childhood. Baseball cards, action figures, bobbleheads, old video game systems. I know those things mean something to him. I don't want to hurt his feelings or erase his past, but we're running out of space. It feels like we're holding onto boxes of memories that never get used or displayed. I don't want to come across as controlling or dismissive, especially for what matters to him, but I just don't know how to have the conversation without sounding like I'm asking him to give a piece of himself. Is it reasonable to ask him to let go of some of it, or do I need to let this go instead? Thanks. Why? Feeling torn?
Amy
I mean, I think it's reasonable to ask for some sort of a solution. And then you also, depending on his answer, might need to let it go.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I don't think the solution is get a storage unit. I think that's the easy. But that's this money that you pay all the time. Like, they really got a business over there in the storage unit, because you. It's basically just a trash. One step above the trash, you may never get back to that stuff, but you're putting it there just in case. It's like junior varsity hoarding. If you're putting stuff in a storage unit.
Amy
But not always.
Bobby Bones
No. But a lot of times, yeah, because, like, I have stuff in a storage unit that I go, if I don't get to it in a year, it leaves. Because I don't want to pay a storage unit bill, which is going to end up being thousands, Thousands of dollars for 10 years for stuff I'm never Going to look at. So I would say do not allow that to be the answer because he's never using it. I would ask him, hey, we're out of space. Can you cut 30% down? What I would do first is say, can you get rid of all your stuff and let him. Oh, and then go, okay, let's compromise 60%. No, that's too much. But the whole time I'm like, I'm aiming for 30%.
Amy
Interesting tactic.
Bobby Bones
And then get him at 30%. And if you can get rid of 30% of the stuff because again, he's never going to use it. He's never going to look at it. But he probably wants to have it there just in case he needs to. Like there's something about that time of his life that makes also, you could slowly get rid of one little thing at a time and he'll have no idea.
Amy
No, he needs to be a part of it. These are his cards.
Bobby Bones
No, I hear you.
Amy
Well, how would you feel if that was done to you?
Bobby Bones
I'd never notice.
Amy
Oh, interesting.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
If you're like getting rid of one thing a month, one little thing. If there's like boxes and boxes we ain't noticing.
Amy
What if one day you go to look for like one specific car that's worth a ton and if she doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Know what she's gonna be in a box, if it's worth a ton, it's not gonna be in a random box and a bunch of crap. Oh, like I have stuff in safes at the bank. If it's worth stuff, I, it's somewhere that it's valued. If it's just in boxes from the old days, I would ask for him to cut back some and if he doesn't, you could probably go to the bottom and just remove stuff and get rid of it one day slowly. Yeah, I don't think he would ever notice. But don't do a storage unit cuz that's money spent, money lost. Ask him to get rid of it, he'll throw a fit. Ask him to do a half of it, he'll throw a fit, settle on 30. Even though that was your goal the whole time. And that clears a little space out. That's what I would say, dude. Good luck though. Because guys are. We're just oddly attached to crap. Dumb, crap, crap, dumb, stupid stuff. Yeah, yeah. Like I got a 1990 Jerome Walton rated rookie. It's all bent up, but I keep it because it made me feel good.
Friend/Fellow Host
Oh, that's cool. Keep that one, dude.
Bobby Bones
That's what I'm saying. Like, I don't need it. It's worth nothing.
Lunchbox
All right, there you go.
Bobby Bones
Close it up. Lunchbox was wearing some Red Clay Strays merch that they brought us when they came to play the show a long time ago. He wears all the merch. What are you wearing right now, by the way? So we're losers.
Lunchbox
Sore losers. Merch. Yeah, absolutely.
Bobby Bones
You were wearing Red Clay Strays like a hoodie?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was a hoodie. They gave us all hoodies. And I was like, this is the best band ever, because they actually gave us something we can use. And I was wearing it around town. And I didn't realize the Red Clay Strays were so popular.
Bobby Bones
I mean, they won ICMA this year when they came in, they weren't yet. They were, to me, a band I found on Tick Tock. And I was like, these guys are so good. They're so good now that, yeah, they're massive. You didn't know?
Lunchbox
No, I didn't know. But I'm at the grocery store and the cashier was like, oh, my gosh. They have such great music. I just love them. I'm like, all right, cool. And I have nothing to say because I don't know anything.
Bobby Bones
You can't name a song.
Lunchbox
I don't know any. I don't even know. I don't remember what they look like. And then I'm at the dog park, and the girl goes, oh, my gosh. Have you ever seen them in concert? They put on a fantastic show. They're coming back to Nashville this. This year, and I cannot wait. And I'm just like, no, I've never seen him live. She goes, oh, you have to go. And she just starts talking to me. I'm like, I just got the hoodie. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I think even you, who doesn't like music, just generally speaking, I think even you would like their music.
Lunchbox
Like what? Like, what does it sound like?
Amy
They perform multiple songs.
Bobby Bones
They did a whole set in here.
Friend/Fellow Host
When she asked you, have you ever seen them live?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You've seen them six inches from your face.
Lunchbox
And then at basketball practice, one of the most like, oh, my gosh, that band, probably my favorite artist right now. That is who I'm listening to all the time. And I was like, three times in one day. Like, when did these guys get so big?
Bobby Bones
They've been getting big for a while.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Again, they won cma, I think, for Group Vocal Group of the year this year.
Lunchbox
Okay. Yeah. So Red Clay Strays guys taking over the world. Apparently they are the hottest thing in the planet.
Bobby Bones
We can play Red Clay Strays now. Why don't we play? Well, Wondering why?
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, I think you want that one.

And you can just do the QR code if you want to date her.
Amy
Yeah. So it's her way of working smarter, not harder to find a husband. And so it pretty much the shirt says something like, you know, like what you see or feel anything or whatever. Then they can scan it and they have all her info. So it's like she's a walking billboard for herself.
Bobby Bones
I think the idea is great but do you know how many creepy dudes.
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Are going to be QR coding her and hitting her up?
Friend/Fellow Host
I felt something. You don't want that.
Bobby Bones
I, I think it's a brilliant idea in a vacuum. But the vacuum doesn't usually have weirdo creepo dudes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Walking around. Has she had any success, do you know?
Amy
Not that I know of. I just saw it and I was like, well that's clever. I mean, you know, we've heard of people actually making billboards but to put a QR code on yourself, that's bold, hot or not. Well, that's up for you to decide.
Bobby Bones
Would you say that guys would think she is physically attractive? Because you can kind of tell. Because I can tell if a dude's hot.
Amy
Well, let me go look again. Let me look.
Bobby Bones
I think to the people that put up billboards, don't have a lot of luck with that. I think it's fun we talk about it. But I think again there is the quantity of people messaging somebody on a billboard going, you like what you see the quantity of people. There's going to be so many weirdos. Hopefully she doesn't have too much personal information on her website when you go to it with that QR code.
Amy
Yeah. Let's hope she's not like, here's my address.
Bobby Bones
If you were like somebody that had a good head on your shoulders, successful and you're a woman, you saw a guy with this, would you do this?
Amy
I mean, I don't know. It just depends. I mean what y' all say all the time. If there's an initial attraction, like if I felt something or I Thought he was really cute. I might. And I'd be like, oh, what a fun personality.
Bobby Bones
This would be cool for, like. For a movie.
Lunchbox
Movie.
Bobby Bones
Like promo or something. You didn't know. You know that teacher that looks like Kevin James? We talked about that. Yeah, that movie's finally coming out, I think in February. It is Kevin Bones. I'm not gonna act like I even understand the pregnant woman's body. My wife is very pregnant, and so she's getting really bad indigestion. And what the doctors tell her and what she's found out by researching it is a lot of people get indigestion at a high level when they're pregnant because the baby has a lot of hair. That's one of the factors. So because of that, she has to do things to limit her indigestion, because I think it burns her really bad. And they say if you sleep sitting up or more of a slant, that helps. Now, if our bed is slanted, that means I also have to sleep slanted. So we have this slanted mattress now, or it's something we put on top of our bed that is so slanted. I feel like I'm seeking an airplane seat.
Amy
Oh, wow. Like a. Like a wedge.
Bobby Bones
It's a wedge. So I was upstairs last night. I tried, and I want her to be comfortable, and I think it's helping her, but it's. It's like a. Like a. Yeah, like a wedge salad.
Friend/Fellow Host
Like a hospital bed is kind of what I'm picturing.
Bobby Bones
Well, there is no button. It's always up.
Friend/Fellow Host
It's always like that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Permanent, so.
Amy
Oh, can you cut it in half?
Bobby Bones
Well, that's what I said, and she said no.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
You have to cut it all the way in half. But then it goes on top of the bed, and there's. You have to, like, do two sets of covers and.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I'm sleeping slanted. Well, I tried to sleep. First night I did, and I didn't sleep very well. Second night, I fell asleep and woke up, and I felt like I was, like, leaning up, and I was like, I can't do this. So I went upstairs.
Friend/Fellow Host
How do you get out of the bed? Like, do you tell her, like, I can't do this.
Bobby Bones
I'm going, no, very quietly. But I'm used to getting out of the bed very quietly because I wake up at an ungodly hour. And so the first thing I do while I'm covered up because I. Everything pops on me is I take and I kind of get semi fetal and I pop under the covers because if I just turn my leg. Oh, well, that was my foot hitting.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
It did pop. It popped as well, but also. Also kicked the chair.
Amy
I thought, oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
But they're so loud in the morning. The pops will wake her up.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So while completely covered, I get somewhat fetal and do pop, pop, and then I slide. Because if I pull the covers at all while she's covered, it's like someone's pulling the covers off of her. So I don't want to manipulate the covers at all. So I lift the covers up with my left hand because I sleep on the right side of the bed. Lift the covers up, and I slide and I put my feet down. My knees are already popped. I try not to unbend my elbows because they'll pop too. And then I. I leave my shorts and sweatshirt outside the door because I know I'm going to be cold. And I get out, I WD40 the door once a week because it goes. Sounds like home improvement. And so that doesn't make a noise. And I put the clothes on and I go into the living room. Wow. It's a process not to wake her up.
Friend/Fellow Host
It's like mission impossible.
Bobby Bones
And I definitely don't want to wake her up now that she is pregnant because I think it's hard for her to sleep. Her heart rate is all. We wear these rings that it attracts your everything. And she has trouble sleeping through the night a lot of times because her heart rate is so high, because her body's, you know, creating a human.
Amy
Sleeping elevated is really good for you, though.
Bobby Bones
Not for me because I don't sleep. I wake up.
Amy
Oh, well, I mean, just because you're not used to it yet, but you'd be less. Do you ever wake up and are you puffy?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't think so.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Amy
Well, maybe.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't even look.
Amy
I started sleeping elevated and it just helps. Like when I wake up, like, I don't have the puffiness because your head is draining. Like while you sleep, your brain is draining and things are flowing down. And so when you're laying flat, it just drains out. And that's why when you wake up and you look in the mirror and you're like, oh, I look puffy. And sometimes you. Like an hour later you'll look different because everything's drained down. But if you sleep at a slant, then it doesn't get stuck in your face.
Bobby Bones
A lot of times I'll sleep upside down. The closet, like a bat. Really? You guys ever try that?
Amy
No, that's a little different.
Lunchbox
You open the closet on there.
Friend/Fellow Host
Hey, what's up?
Bobby Bones
But that's the stage we're at now is she's having trouble sleeping. So we built a slanted bed, and I'm having trouble sleeping.
Amy
You built a slanted bed?
Bobby Bones
I'm having trouble sleeping on the slanted bed.
Amy
So you built it?
Bobby Bones
Well, we put it on there. It feels like we built it. We built a slant.
Friend/Fellow Host
Sounded good, though, when you said it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it did.
Amy
It sounded like you were actually.
Bobby Bones
It was just something we put on top of the bed that had a slant on it. You get it, Bones. So since Lunchbox got in the wreck, does he have no cars? Did he get a car?
Lunchbox
Does his wife not have a car?
Bobby Bones
What's the whole story on that later part?
Josh
Tour.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so for those that don't know, Lunchbox's car broke down, like, two years ago. He never got another car. He started riding his bike to work, and he was like, why do I need a car? So then you were driving the family suv?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I was driving the family suv. Got in a very serious car wreck. Lucky to be alive, escape with no injuries. Car was going 60. Nailed me in the back.
Bobby Bones
I saw someone comment if it was stop and go traffic. How did you get hit by Somebody going 60? Were you at the very back of the stop and go traffic?
Lunchbox
Yep. Huh.
Bobby Bones
The odds.
Lunchbox
Okay, I know the odds. Like, it was literally, like it was just starting to bottle up, and I came upon it, and then boom. Boom.
Bobby Bones
So what's the deal on the car?
Lunchbox
Car is so my wife. That is her car. So we will be getting a rental.
Bobby Bones
So that's it. That's the one car you guys have. And it's beat up.
Lunchbox
It's beat up.
Bobby Bones
So how. How are you guys getting anywhere?
Lunchbox
I. It's drivable. It pulls a little bit, right?
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah. That's not good.
Lunchbox
I. I know it's. It's not great, but it does pull a little bit.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Lunchbox
But talk to the insurance and working on getting a rental, hopefully today or tomorrow. They are setting it up at the rental car place, and I go pick up a rental car.
Bobby Bones
Do you want to hear Lunchbox's 911 call?
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So we're able to go and contact them and get it. And so this is the call of Lunchbox after the accident.
Amy
Hit it Friday, January 9th. The time is 4:20pm, 91 1.
Eddie
What's your emergency?
Lunchbox
Yes, ma' Am. I was. I was just in a wreck.
Eddie
Okay, where are you located?
Lunchbox
65 northbound, right before the Moore's Lane exit.
Eddie
Okay. Is anybody with you?
Lunchbox
No, I'm by myself.
Bobby Bones
Oh, man.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Eddie
Okay. And where was your vehicle hit?
Lunchbox
I got rear ended. It was like I was slowing down. Like, it's kind of, you know, stop and go traffic, and, I mean, the car hit me just boom, right in the back. I mean, didn't even. Didn't hit the brakes.
Eddie
Okay, what kind of vehicle do you have?
Lunchbox
It's a Toyota Highlander, and I'm. I'm pulled over on the right shoulder.
Eddie
Do you have any injuries? Are you okay?
Lunchbox
I get. My back's just. I mean, I wouldn't say injury. It's just. I can feel it's a little tight, a little sore, but.
Eddie
Was anyone else injured in maybe the other vehicle? Have you spoken with anybody?
Lunchbox
I don't know. Their. Their car became disabled right when it hit me, and it's about 100 yards back, and it's still in the middle of the lane, and I. I don't know if they're okay, but I haven't. I can't see them.
Eddie
Okay, we're going to send over EMS right away.
Lunchbox
All right, thank you so much.
Bobby Bones
Can I ask you a question? I don't want you to take offense to this at all. Just genuine. When you're calling 911 now, do you know that we have access to it? And so do you do a bit when you call? Yeah. Because you're doing even sound effects with her. You're like. And they were going to. Boom. It hit me. Do you know?
Lunchbox
No. That's literally what I said. I. I don't understand.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no. I just am asking if you're being performative, because, you know, anytime you call, we track it down.
Amy
And then you're also, like, between every sentence.
Lunchbox
Oh, man, that's my back hurting.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. No, I completely see why you would react the way you did.
Lunchbox
Like, she was asking me. I. I felt like she was asking me, like, what happened? And I was trying to explain. Like, I was sitting there and boom, I got hit in the back.
Bobby Bones
Like, you didn't even mention your smoothie.
Amy
I know. He was like, I'm driving alone. And I'm like, no, no.
Lunchbox
I don't feel like that was 911 material. I don't think she needed to know about my smoothie. Like, if she would have said, hey, was there any explosions in your car? I said, yeah, man. My smoothie. Banana.
Bobby Bones
Strawberry.
Lunchbox
Right now, peanut butter banana. Yeah, it was. I mean, it is so gross, man. So. Yeah, I. I don't think I was. I'm telling you, like, it was just like I was trying to move around. I was just like, ah, that does kind of hurt. You know, just testing out to see how my body felt. You.
Friend/Fellow Host
You have a good point. Because, like, in the past, we've had calls, and it's been like, I am. There's someone here. Whatever.
Bobby Bones
This one's more like, yeah, he's doing a bit.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm surprised he didn't go. That was your bonehead story of the day.
Friend/Fellow Host
He even threw in kind of like a. Let's just say.
Lunchbox
No, I didn't.
Friend/Fellow Host
Yeah, you said something like that. That you would normally say when you're doing.
Lunchbox
I said. I said, I don't know. The car is 100 yards back because it became disabled when it hit me. Like, she asked me if anybody else was hurting that car.
Bobby Bones
We're glad you're okay.
Lunchbox
I. I didn't know.
Bobby Bones
We're glad you're okay. I just. I genuinely wonder if you're calling 911 because you do so much that you know we're gonna go track it down so you perform a little more.
Lunchbox
I didn't even think I was performing. I thought I was just talking.
Bobby Bones
You were.
Lunchbox
I was kind of in. What do you call that? A shock, That adrenaline, like, whoa. Like, oh, my gosh, what just happened?
Amy
Yeah, that. That I believe for sure. But also, when you. Any chance you get an opportunity to call 91 1, do you get a little excited? Like, are you, like.
Bobby Bones
Because you love calling nine one.
Lunchbox
It's really cool.
Friend/Fellow Host
Ooh.
Bobby Bones
Like a rush, you know, you're taking Cialis. It doesn't feel the same when you call 91 1.
Lunchbox
No, I'm not taking Cialis for that.
Bobby Bones
But you are taking Cialis.
Lunchbox
I am on Cialis.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Are you on it right now?
Friend/Fellow Host
You're not on it.
Lunchbox
I am on it right now.
Friend/Fellow Host
Why would you do that?
Amy
That's the thing. It's not like your body knows, like, oh, this is only supposed to be used for this.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
It said, take this once a day.
Bobby Bones
Take it after the show, after work. Take your Cialis when you're not around us.
Amy

Friend/Fellow Host

This story comes to us from Michigan. A 44 year old man went to pick up his son from school last week. And they're like, sir, it's 30 minutes till dismissal. You're gonna have to wait till the school school day's over. So he went outside the school, fired his gun. No, no, it gets better. So he was in front of the judge, you know, facing the charges, and he started sticking his fingers in the ears going, I can't hear you. Sorry, can't hear you.
Bobby Bones
He has a mental problem. Yeah, like he's not. Something's not right.
Lunchbox
No, they don't say anything about that.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm just judging it based off of what you've shared.
Amy
Right.
Lunchbox
And then he told the judge to get a real job.
Bobby Bones
He's either under the influence of something a lot of the time or he needs some psychiatric help.
Amy
Anyway, you think his time in court, he's Been detained somewhere and unable to be under the influence.
Bobby Bones
But I don't know. They held him the whole time until court. Did they?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, they did.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they did. Well, so there you go. Unless he's in Rikers.
Amy
Yeah, true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Friend/Fellow Host
They get stuff in there.
Amy
I mean, you don't even want to know how.
Bobby Bones
Well, I just said it, so you don't want to know.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
There's a huge suspension bridge in northern Michigan. You can walk across it. It's called Skybridge. And right now in northern Michigan, it's very snowy. So you walk across it. It looks awesome. There's a lot of snow underneath you. You don't want to fall off. For sure. You don't want to drop anything off it either. This guy's proposing and he drops the ring.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
Can you imagine how helpless you're feeling as that thing starts to slip out? When I take a bath, I hold my phone with all my might because if my phone falls in the bathtub, my day's over. It sucks. I can't imagine how secure I would keep a ring.
Amy
If you're on your phone a lot in the bath, I feel like we need to get you a little loopy or something.
Bobby Bones
I don't draw my phone in the bathtub, but we.
Amy
It's clearly something you do a lot.
Bobby Bones
I'm on my phone every day in the bathroom.
Amy
Yeah. So in this case, yeah. If you're on a bridge with a ring, like tie that. Tie a string around it.
Bobby Bones
That's for sure what I thought about. If I can focus on holding my phone and making sure I don't drop it in the bath. You gotta hold that ring with all your might, buddy.
Amy
Didn't you get nervous?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Friend/Fellow Host
Well, sweaty hands.
Bobby Bones
I get nervous in the sweaty hands in the bathtub. I don't take a cold bath. I take a hot bath. So he proposed. His girlfriend said yes, but he was fumbling and he dropped the ring. The bridge is over 100ft up. Big ski slope underneath it. So they go off the bridge, they go down to where it is. They spent two hours searching. They had a metal detector. They gave up around 10pm Completely dark. But an employee at Boyne Mountain Resort named Pat Harper said, hey, I'll go back out and find it. Goes out nighttime. Spends about 30 to 45 minutes, finds it.
Amy
Wow, that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
At night, in the snow.
Friend/Fellow Host
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
That's from sunny skies. Big shout out to Pat Harper.
Amy
Yeah, the employee that went out.
Bobby Bones
But bro, you gotta hold that ring with all your might. I want you to picture me. Anybody that's going through this, picture me in the bathtub holding my phone. That's how I want you to hold your ring when you're proposing. Like this. All right, that's it. Thank you everybody. Hope you have a great rest of the day. Megan Maroney is on tomorrow's show. She'll be in studio. We'll see you then. Bye everybody. Bobby Bones. Yeah, the Bobby Bones Show Theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry. You can find his Instagram @reedyarberry.
