Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a tough one. Amy is our winner, though. Congratulations. I was laughing because I was doing what this email is about right before I started or before I turn my microphone on, literally, I was singing that song. Here's to the boys back home. Boys back home. It's very loud in the room. Yeah, this email's about that. Hello, Bobby Bones. I have one co worker who likens herself to a budding singing star and is constantly singing around the office. I have to remind her several times a day to keep it down so I can concentrate or take client calls, but she doesn't seem to be getting the message. To add to the annoyance, she's really a terrible singer. I don't want to get management involved if I can help it, but she just won't take a hint and stop it already. How can I handle this without getting our boss involved? Signed America's not talented. Whoever sent this, like, relax.

[Amy]

Get the boss involved.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're going to look like the biggest tattletail. Right.

[Amy]

Because she's singing. People who hum and sing are happy.

[Bobby Bones]

The problem is, I can understand if you're taking a client call and someone's over the top of you. Here's to the boys back home. Back home. Yes. The only thing that you can and should say is something to her. Be like, hey, when I'm on a call, would you mind just not singing as loud? I don't think that will be super offensive if you go to the boss about somebody singing too much. You are a tattletale.

[Amy]

And include that they're aspiring to sing and that they're horrible at it.

[Bobby Bones]

Just, you have to pick your spots to go to your boss anyway.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is not one of those spots because you. You'll be a tattletail. You'll be a snitch. And the last thing you want to get is snitches get stitches, cuz. Snitches get stitches. Yeah, relax. You probably do something annoying too. And she's not reporting you. I can understand the client call thing, and I think that does warrant a. Hey, singing singerson when I'm on a call, would you mind just not singing so loud? All right, thanks. Other than that, you just gotta let it be.

[Amy]

I mean, can you just join in too? And then maybe it'll make the whole office a happier place. I get it. On the calls, you can't. But, like, can't you just, like, join her?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to encourage her. My wife, what she does is she just turns, like, the radio up and on if I'm singing in the car. If I'm like, here's to this, she'll just be like, well, okay. She'll just turn something else completely on.

[Amy]

Okay, so.

[Bobby Bones]

And I know what that means. Yeah, you can always. Yeah, do that. Turn music on at your desk when she starts. You can have a conversation. Do not get the. The boss involved for any reason whatsoever about this. All right. Thank you for the email, Bones. Eddie, what's up?

[Eddie]

Think my wife wants another kid, bro.

[Bobby Bones]

You have four.

[Eddie]

I have four boys, and I don't want another kid, but something is telling me that my wife wants another kid, and it's a daughter, specifically.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, you have four boys.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

To say that your wife wants a daughter feels different than wants another kid. You have a lot of kids?

[Eddie]

Well, that would mean five kids, dude. I can't take five kids. We can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think, though, she could want a daughter if he had seven boys or two boys. Yeah, because it's just different because it's all dudes. Why do you think this?

[Eddie]

Well, there's one of our neighbors, they have two boys and a girl, and the girl's about probably about 10 years old. And when the boys come over, sometimes the girl hangs out, but she doesn't really hang out with the boys, so she doesn't know what.

[Bobby Bones]

What to do.

[Eddie]

And my wife's like, hey, come inside. And they start baking cookies. Hanging out, like, doing board games. And it's Been happening for two weeks now. And I'm like, oh, great, here we go. This is my wife wanting a girl around, and I feel like she's gonna hit me with a question. Hey, should we adopt a girl?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, and it's adopt.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because her tubes are tied. We can't have any more kids. I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

And how do you feel about that?

[Eddie]

I don't like it. It cannot happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's two different answers. I don't like it and that cannot happen are two different answers. Which one is your answer?

[Eddie]

I don't like it. So, you know, it's like. It's like one of those things where, I mean, we had two boys, we fostered two more. Next thing you know, we have four kid. Four boys. And, like, it happened like that. So I can never say, oh, this will never happen. But, Bones, I don't like it. I don't like thinking about it. I just don't want that in my life.

[Amy]

But you. I think you initially don't like it, and if it were to happen, you'd love it.

[Bobby Bones]

And I remember when Eddie was thinking about fostering one kid, he did not want anything.

[Amy]

I think he said that exact same thing. I don't like it. I don't want it.

[Eddie]

I said it like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you warming us up?

[Eddie]

No. No, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you. Are you warming us up to letting us know you're adopting another kid?

[Eddie]

Bones, if this happens, I might walk.

[Bobby Bones]

Walk what, from my walk.

[Amy]

Walk where?

[Eddie]

Somewhere else.

[Amy]

Stop.

[Eddie]

There's no way.

[Bobby Bones]

Both five kids. Sounds crazy.

[Eddie]

Four boys is a crazy life. I'm telling you, my life is chaotic. You add a girl to that, oh, my gosh. Next thing you know, she's dating. She gets married. I can't handle that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's about a. To me, it wouldn't be about a girl as much as it would be a fifth kid.

[Eddie]

Well, that, too. That, too.

[Bobby Bones]

So which scares you most in the fifth kid or having a girl to raise?

[Eddie]

Initially, the fifth kid, because four boys. Again, like I said, chaotic. It's a crazy life. Some days I don't think I can handle it. And some days I go walk the dog, and I don't come back for three hours.

[Bobby Bones]

So you go for a walk. You walk for a long walk, But.

[Amy]

I end up the dog for three hours. You can just disappear for three hours?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then my wife said, where you been? I'm like, I've been walking the dog.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

But I feel better now.

[Bobby Bones]

Three hours?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Some days I'll Walk and walk, but. So initially you asked me the question. Yes, it's. It's the fact that having five kids, that'd be craziness. But then later down the line, you can't not. You can't not think about this. That dating, when you have a daughter and she's dating. I don't know if I can handle that.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba Steve's the only one here that has a baby girl.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I have two girls.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, as a dude.

[Scuba Steve]

As a dude, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you don't. Dudes don't understand girls. Well, we don't. That's why every guy's like, I want to have a boy, only I don't have a girl. Because we don't know what it's like to be a girl. And we're also. We don't have the depth enough as women do to go, like, I can raise a boy even though I'm a woman. Sure. Like, we're idiots. What can you tell Eddie about being a dude with a girl?

[Scuba Steve]

Okay, sure. But, dude, the one thing I would tell you is the love between a father and a son is amazing. But with a father and a daughter, like, she's my. She is my world. And I will say this. It's how you treat her. It's how she'll expect men to treat her. So I think you could do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Just.

[Scuba Steve]

It's how you raise the daughter, is what she'll do later in life.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's just do it. Let's commit right now.

[Eddie]

That sounds beautiful and all, but I'm not doing this.

[Bobby Bones]

And you've met my.

[Scuba Steve]

You met my child. You love her, my middle child.

[Eddie]

She's amazing.

[Scuba Steve]

Imagine having one of those around your house.

[Eddie]

Dude, I can't.

[Amy]

But he can. Until she starts dating.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what you're. So just sign a contract then 14 or so, move her on.

[Eddie]

You know those stories of when the dad comes out with a shotgun? Like, that would totally be me.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not scared mostly of having a fifth kid. You're scared of having a daughter. Both.

[Eddie]

I'm telling you, both. I'm scared of having five kids. Five kids. I cannot do it. On top of that, you're gonna give me a daughter. Can't do it, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, anything you want to say, Daddy?

[Amy]

I mean, he can borrow so sheer for a little bit if he wants to.

[Bobby Bones]

Stuff like, you know, hey, always remember you're stronger than you think you are, you're loved more than you know, have a blessed day. Stuff like that. And someone posted it. It started to go viral. And it's just one of those little acts that can go a long way for someone.

[Bobby Bones]

When someone does this with my food that I order and it comes in, I never think, oh, wow, I feel so positive about it. I think, oh, they're looking for a little bigger tip. They put a little extra work in and you know what? I meet them there and I will go back to the app and add another buck or so or 2 bucks if I really like the message.

[Eddie]

It doesn't make you smile a little bit like, oh, sweet.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Cuz they don't know me. They don't know how strong I am, so they don't know if I can be stronger than that. That's. That's like my brain taking that. But the other thing is too, the other day I ordered a cookie and a brownie and they sent me two cookies and there was a note in there says they were out of brownies.

[Eddie]

That's not a good note.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not what I didn't like.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, but what are they gonna do?

[Bobby Bones]

I still gave them an extra tip because they were like, wrote me a note and they were like, they were sorry.

[Amy]

What was fun about this is it happened in Leck and the one customer that posted on Social that got the nice note, all the messages started flooding in. I'm like, wait a second, I got a nice. Not Lita too. And they all recognize like, that's cool. The handwriting, the note. It was really sweet.

[Bobby Bones]

Waiters that write a little note on the check receipt. Yeah, I get like 4% more tip every time because there's like a Little effort.

[Amy]

You say 4% more.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Amy]

It just seems like a weird number to have to add.

[Bobby Bones]

Four is not that weird, okay.

[Eddie]

Oh, that'd be impossible.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, it's not that. It's just like, I think when they were averaging it out, if you did, like, your 20%, people just add a couple more dollars. So it ended up being around 3 to 5%. So I went for. You guys need to leave me alone.

[Amy]

No, I was just like. That would be something good, like, if you. If you decided. Oh, man. Okay. They wrote a note. I want to add four.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't think people add four on purpose. I think they said average when they did. The study ended up being about 4%.

[Amy]

Okay. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I like your story, though. Even though you took shots of me. All right. Is that it, Amy?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Amy, you just get pulled over, and so the cop comes up to your window, and he says to you, do you know how fast you are going? What would you say?

[Amy]

It depends. Do I really know how fast I was going?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you do.

[Amy]

Okay. Then I guess I say, oh, probably 80.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you give a specific number?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Like, I'm gonna be around that number if. If. If I really know. Because sometimes my honest answer might be like, I honestly do not know. But there is this particular spot on the highway where I'm just feel like I'm gonna get pulled over eventually because it turns to 55 real quick, and I know. I know I'm going 80 if I get pulled over.

[Bobby Bones]

And the cops like, hey, I. Do you know how fast you were going? I think, because I got pulled over. And I think in the same spot, there's, like, a part of the interstate that drops to 55 here. It's the only place I got a ticket in, like, the last, like, five, seven years, you know? You're speeding. I think I would go like, what? Holy crap. I was. Because I think I would be shocked that I was speeding, because I don't drive fast. And obviously I was. If they pulled me over, I said. I think I said that once, too. I said, oh, if you pull me over. No, that was when I was on my cell phone. When the cop pulled me over, he said, I pulled you over. You know, you can't be on your cell phone. Ah, I was on my cell phone. I'm in the wrong. My bad. And I, like, threw myself at the mercy of the court. I'm sorry, officer. I'll never do it. Again, so I have this guy here who tells you what to say if an officer comes up and goes, do you know how fast you were going? His name is Mike Mandel, a Duke Law graduate, former attorney. He. 10 million followers. And so here is the one correct spot response. Go ahead. If a police officer pulls you over, here's what you should do. First, watch out for questions like this. Do you know how fast you were going back there? If you say yes, you could accidentally admit to speeding. And if you say no, the cops can claim you're going any speed, which will make it hard to dispute in court.

[Amy]

So what do I say?

[Bobby Bones]

The proper answer is, I believe I was going the speed limit. That way you're neither confessing nor lying. You are kind of lying if you know you weren't going to speed limit.

[Amy]

Right, But.

[Bobby Bones]

But I feel you. Okay, so Amy asked me if I know how fast I was going.

[Amy]

Excuse me. Do you know how fast you were going?

[Bobby Bones]

I believe I was going the speed limit. Oh, I nailed that. Give me an Oscar. Okay, so here's also what not to say. That any. Any number. Like, you know, Amy, you're like, I don't know, 80. Like, no numbers, no specifics at all.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Because again, anything that you say, and I just made this up, can and will be held against you in a court of law.

[Amy]

That's true. Like, why admit to the crime?

[Bobby Bones]

So you just say, say it with me. I believe I was going the speed limit. Say it with me, Amy.

[Amy]

I believe I was going the speed limit.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't believe you. You didn't sell me. You didn't sell me on that one. I'm gonna try again. Oh, yes, ma'am. Excuse me. Hey. Yeah. You were swerving all over the road. You had a couple cones. It looks like you were eating. Do you know how fast you were going?

[Amy]

I believe I was going the speed limit.

[Eddie]

It's better.

[Amy]

I believe. I believe I was going the speed limit.

[Bobby Bones]

Now you sound like you're trying to hook up with a cop. Amy's like, I believe I was trying.

[Amy]

To put an inflection on, like, a question.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, hey, Lunchbox. Woo. Excuse me, sir, do you know how fast you were going?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, according to my speedometer, I was going the speed limit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so he's not even believing. So he lie lied. I think you have to believe because you really can't. It's like, allegedly.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I gotta go again.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Lunchbox. Not like I know his name. Yeah. Sir, do you know how fast you were going?

[Lunchbox]

According to My speedometer. I believe I was going the speed.

[Bobby Bones]

Limit, but he's got to throw in low elements. I'd be afraid to like throw anything extra. Just that they got you on body cam. I don't even know what that means.

[Eddie]

He's ad libbing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I. Everybody listening right now. What you say is, I believe I was going to speed limit. Like I think that's it. Say that. Can't say. You won't get a ticket. Last time you got a ticket around.

[Amy]

The room, Amy, like actually got the ticket or a warning.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I guess if you were like, I believe you probably got out of a few.

[Amy]

The last time I got pulled over was the same guy that pulled you over, the state trooper. You were on your phone. And then a couple months later he got me also holding my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Any ticket in any of the last few years? No, he just said no, not from him. I'm talking about in general.

[Amy]

Oh, no, not in the last few years. No. Nope, not a ticket for you ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you hit anything with your car at all? A different story.

[Amy]

The rims count.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Last time you got a ticket?

[Lunchbox]

I was about seven years ago. I got a parking ticket downtown. Then I went to court and I faced off with the cop, looked him right in the eye, said I was an illegal ticket and I won my case.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, guys, we're talking about speeding tickets.

[Amy]

I know, but these, we're just like, we're law abiding citizens.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, but he's like, I gotta. Are we the least speeding group ever?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy said a few things. You hit in your. In this studio, you hit like a pole, right? Like in the, in the radio station.

[Amy]

Yeah, in the. Yes, in the parking garage. I've hit a pole. I hit the gate like leaving the parking garage and popped a tire on the. I don't know how that happened. Yes. Remember I was actually in Ben's, my ex husband's truck. So that's why my depth perception was extra off because it was just bigger than I was used to. And I was trying to turn out of the gate at the old building and it went up on the tire. I think it was Valentine's Day. And I popped his tire and I was like, happy Valentine's Day. Like he had to come up there and fix it. I've hit a fire hydrant. Oh, oh. Like a basketball goal. But that's been happening ever since I was 16. Like hitting non moving objects is sort of my thing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what she's known for. Around the streets. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so our takeaway here, guys. If you get pulled over and the cops, like, do you know how fast you were going? You say, I believe I was going the speed limit.

[Amy]

I believe I was going the speed limit, ma'am.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you drinking? Travis Kelce proposing to Taylor Swift after the game. The bet is about 16.7% that it'll happen. Amy, thoughts? You think? Any chance Travis Kelce proposes to Taylor Swift after the Super Bowl?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

You can do a lot of these stupid bets. Yesterday we talked about bets that were just kind of stupid, but not really. These are more stupid bets. A quarterback catching a pass, you can bet on that. They got about a 5% chance of happening. Amy, how would a quarterback catch a pass in your mind?

[Amy]

Gosh. So it's pitched to him through the guy's legs. Hut. He gets snapped.

[Bobby Bones]

Snap. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

So then he gets it and he does a sneaky pass to what? The sneaky pass where he just, like, you don't even realize that he just sneakily passed it to some guy that ran by him, like. And you still think the quarterback has it. So the guys are trying to go sack the quarterback. Meanwhile, some other guy has it, and that guy is supposed to do something else.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm lost.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no, no. But then the quarterback becomes open because it's totally unexpected. You don't plan for the quarterback to be the one to run it in and then, boom, the quarterbacks open, and then they throw it to him and he runs across the finish line.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's a lot. Finish line's funny, too, since it's a goal line. I would say, let's say the quarterback takes a snap, throws it to a wide receiver who's back behind the line.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the quarterback can then run around the other side and the wide receiver can throw it to him.

[Amy]

Basically what I just said. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, in a way. Sure.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's one of them. Can a quarterback catch a pass? Yes. Will Kendrick Lamar mention Drake during the halftime show? That would be hilarious. They say it's about a 25% chance that that happens. Who will the MVP mention first? God, Jesus, or teammates?

[Amy]

God.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think God, too, because it's like, I like to thank God because God's like, over overarching. Because if you think Jesus, maybe you're not thanking God, you're just thinking.

[Amy]

No, if you're thinking Jesus, you are thanking God. They are one.

[Bobby Bones]

I get the Trinity, but I'm saying God kind of covers it all. But Jesus was a person Right.

[Amy]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

And maybe you're just thinking the human form of Jesus back when he was alive. I like to thank God. I like to thank Jesus.

[Amy]

Like, if it was Tim Tebow, he'd be like, I like to thank Jesus.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. He has God 3:16 written on his eye.

[Eddie]

God. I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

No, John. It's John. I'm just kidding. Okay, so you can bet on that. Who do they think first? Another one is, will a coach or player cry during the National Anthem? There's always one or two. Like the last time the Eagles played, Sirianni, the coach cried even at the AFC Championship Game. And Chris Jones, the defensive lineman, cried. And that wasn't even the Super Bowl. So you can bet on that. The color of Gatorade. I don't think the bet. Go ahead.

[Amy]

I was just thinking. I don't think anybody from the Chiefs is going to cry. They're going to be like, we were just here.

[Bobby Bones]

They're annoyed. They're back.

[Amy]

And we were here the year before that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it gets. It has to be really emotional, like going out. They're playing the National Anthem. The Bombers are flying over. Like, I don't know that that ever gets so old. True. Here's one. Will I cry if the Chiefs lose and I lose a bunch of money?

[Amy]

You like you as in Bobby or just anybody? The best.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Me. Yeah. Me specifically. Okay. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you. Okay. So the favorite of Gatorade, the color to be poured on the coach. Okay, I'm just gonna ask you this. What do you think the favorite color is? Because I have the answer.

[Amy]

Hmm.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I would think it would be yellow. That's kind of the most generic.

[Amy]

Is it red?

[Bobby Bones]

It's purple. I should have said that.

[Amy]

Purple eyes first.

[Bobby Bones]

They have all those new flavors. Purple is the favorite right now for Gatorade. First celebrity cameo, Taylor Swift. Okay, Taylor is the favorite, but who do you think is a close second?

[Amy]

Donald Trump.

[Bobby Bones]

He will be there. Great. Guess not. Second. Second's a little unfair. They're faint. They're a celebrity now, but they used to play football.

[Amy]

Oh, oh, oh.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think she has anywhere she's going. She's just yelling.

[Amy]

I have it. Pay Manning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

See, I got there.

[Bobby Bones]

You did. I apologize for that. Great job.

[Eddie]

Where's that. That actor, the Eagles fan. What's his name?

[Bobby Bones]

Bradley Cooper.

[Eddie]

Bradley Cooper. He's got to be on there.

[Bobby Bones]

Not on the list is Taylor Peyton Manning. The Donald Trump. But I bet Donald Trump is Shown before the super bowl. And maybe they don't show him during the game so people don't know exactly where he is during the game.

[Amy]

That's what I was thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

In case there's anything.

[Amy]

Snipers.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

But everybody's going to be safe.

[Bobby Bones]

What team will Jason Kelce represent, Amy? And do you know why that's even a question?

[Amy]

Yes. Because he played for the Eagles, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. And why would they even ask it, though, if he played for the Eagles?

[Amy]

Because his brother is Travis.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Good job.

[Bobby Bones]

What team will he represent? Like, what color will he wear?

[Amy]

I think he's gonna cheer for his brother.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's not the favorite. He's the Eagle. They think he'll wear green.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Mm, I think so.

[Amy]

Can he get one of those cute outfits with some pansies?

[Bobby Bones]

No. I knew you were gonna say that. I was already there with you. I hate when people. I don't mind if it's a mom, sure. And she has two kids, but I don't know, there's something sexist about it. With a dude, I'm like, dude, just pick a jersey. You don't need to do one of those half and halfs.

[Amy]

What if he does a Eagles jersey and a chief's hat? Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he'll just go Eagles. If you're a mom, I don't care what you do. I think you do. You split the jersey, you do the cut in half. Okay. There you go. Those are more dumb bets. Do you think the Monday after the super bowl should be a holiday?

[Amy]

I mean, we. We could maybe double up one of these other holidays. That's in January, February. I don't want to take away from mlk, so not that one, but maybe President's Day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I wouldn't take away from MLK either.

[Amy]

But those are the ones that are early in the year where we do have the Monday off, so I would obviously leave that one alone. Take President's Day.

[Bobby Bones]

President's Day, stupid. Yes, I agree with that.

[Amy]

And marry it up with the super bowl, and boom, you've got it covered.

[Bobby Bones]

So you do both. You just take President's Day and put it on Super Bowl Monday.

[Amy]

Sure. I mean, if we're just picking a day that it's President's Day, make it the day after the Super Bowl.

[Bobby Bones]

So then you call it just America's Day, and you only officially say it's because the Super Bowl. But then you do that.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, that just seems like that way we're not adding an extra holiday, because, I mean, businesses need to do things and whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

17 million workers will be calling in the day after the Super Bowl. If somebody called into work, I'm not feeling good. They're full of crap. And who. It sucks for people that are really sick that have to call in and they're really sick, and, like, I know they're not gonna believe me. And they got the flu, and their boss is like, they're an Eagles fan. There's no way.

[Amy]

Yeah. I do think there was one year where I literally was sick the day after the super bowl, but I got. It was. You knew it was legit because you were hosting a Super bowl party the night before, and I was supposed to come, and I didn't even come to that. Like, I had to stay home because I wasn't feeling well, and then I wasn't there the next day. So that's the only way that you're. Anybody's going to believe you or were.

[Bobby Bones]

You committed to the bit. But also, Amy, if you were to call after the super bowl, we wouldn't be like, amy, party too hard at the super bowl because you're not really, like, a Super bowl person.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

We asked you about it, and you were like, yeah, first half school, you know.

[Amy]

Yeah. Halftime, for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Socializing. Yeah, that's cool, Raymundo, because we're going to the Super Bowl. We'll be there on Sunday. Who do you want us to get a picture with, Raymundo? AJ Hawk for my wife. She sees him on TV for Pat McAfee when I'm eating lunch and watching the show, and she thinks he's the most attractive guy, and they're gonna be down there, and you guys are going, and so why would you want us to get a picture with him for your wife?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me some brownie points to her of him? Well, yeah, I think she wants us one with him because it's weird to take a picture of somebody. It's different to ask if, like, with. Go ahead. I just think she's so. For whatever reason, I think it's funny because she's like, I've never seen this guy this attractive, and he played football. And I go, yeah, he was a really great defender. He was real. Everybody knew him. And she said, how is he? He is beautiful. His is his face. And I'm like, yeah. So, hey, bring a picture, boys. Okay, if we see him, we'll try to get a picture. Although, if. If my wife. Let's say she were in love with Bill Gates, first of all, weird. Secondly, she's like, oh, he's so hot. If you see Eddie, have him get a picture with. I'd be like, why are you. That's bizarre. But if we see him, Raymundo, we will get one. All right. Yeah.

[Amy]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Cassel every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. Between us, we have over 17,500 passing yards, multiple New York Times bestsellers, and one mirrorball trophy from Dancing with the Star. So where else are you going to find a show with that much athleticism and football insight? Based in Nashville, we're more than just your basic NFL show. We talk sports, but we talk pop culture and music and a little bit of everything because we got lots to say. I texted you and you text me back. Now, I don't know if you have the update, but, like, all the little thumbs up and heart and stuff, like, it's all colored. They changed it. And the. The heart's a little pink. It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm going to be honest, it was a little pink. There was something sentimental. When you, like, when. When you send it, it's like, do I send the heart now? I don't like the color edition. It's extremely pink. Listen to Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm obsessed with the story on TikTok. So there's this woman, and she was posing as, like a blonde haired, I think, kind of white woman. Definitely catfishing this dude. He's 19 years old, lives in Pakistan. So she's like, all right, I'm gonna go and go show up, gonna marry him. But she gets there and she's not what she said she was. Which is weird because if you're catfishing somebody and then you're showing up for true love, has there ever been an instance where you show up and you're busted and the pictures you've sent were not busted? And they're like, ah, what the heck, let's just go ahead and do it. I don't know if that would have ever have happened, but this American woman travels all the way. She's older too, but she goes and she knocks on the door of this 19 year old again she met online. He was like, you're not the person that I thought you were, so I'm gonna go ahead and reject you. Shuts the door, and she will not leave. Now she first she was like out in his front yard, out the parking lot, like, I'm not leaving. Here's a clip of her press conference. Because now she's having press conferences and she's like famous in Pakistan, where she's like, I'm gonna need some money. Go ahead. I'm asking for 100k or more. I need 20k by this week in my pockets in cash. That's a demand to the government. So she's asking for money and then money for her to return if they wanted to return. She's having press conferences. She's getting super famous. She's going super viral. She wasn't who she said she was and she showed up, but she just thought she has to be in her 40s, right. Mike and I, I believe she was posing as a younger white woman and she showed up and she's an older black lady.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you expect is gonna happen? Even if it's the other way around, if you're posing as an older black lady and the guy's like, I'm in love with you, and you show up and you're a younger white girl or Hispanic girl, if you're not who you say you are and you show up after all that time, what do you think is gonna happen? And then just to have the nads to go, alright, I'm going nowhere unless you give me $100,000. Pakistani authorities have now put her in a psychiatric hospital for evaluation. A guy claiming to be her son, like, hey, she struggled, but she's only going back to the US if she gets that money. But for me, way more than going to Pakistan, it's people who show up thinking the person's going to go, you know what, we had such great chats that it doesn't matter what you look like after you have lied to me for X amount of time, saying, you look like something else. And she got famous on TikTok. Do you guys fall into that trap on TikTok or no? No, I couldn't get enough of it.

[Amy]

No, but it makes me think of that. Do you remember that girl? I just had to google her name because I forgot it. Rachel Dolezal. She was white, but she was pretending to be black. And she was even a chapter president for the naacp. Like she was an activist. Oh, I remember that for, you know, black people like she. But. But portraying that she was black herself when she was born to white parents.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of her features were a bit darker though.

[Amy]

Yeah. And her hair, like, she was able to pull it off a little bit. But she was definitely Caucasian.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I couldn't pull it off. No, you can. You know, I. Amy, I saw. I forget which platform. Maybe Netflix, maybe Amazon. The Scamanda documentary. Were you the one telling me about Scamanda?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So now they have a documentary about it. Can you remind me what Scamanda did? Did she steal money from people? She said she had cancer or something.

[Amy]

Lots of people. Yes. She said she had cancer. And I mean, she would go speak at churches. She would. She got free trips, money, donations, all kinds of things. I mean, she would go into hospitals and straight up somehow get herself hooked up to an IV and like, take selfies and be like, another round. Like, she was very dedicated to her lie.

[Bobby Bones]

Was she going to, like, get like, the Hangover IVs? Like, people go and they get super hungover. And then.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, did she take pictures and be like, I have cancer?

[Amy]

She would legit. Go check herself into the ER for whatever. No way. Yeah, yeah. And then I guess act as if she had cancer. And then, you know, they would start doing that. I mean, she. She took the lie very, very far and scammed people out of a lot of money.

[Bobby Bones]

My assumption is at first it's about either money or attention, and then later it is about money or the other one.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So let's say at first it's like you're somebody who just needs some attention or love or something. So you're like, I'm going to fake like I'm sick and then get everybody's. And you're like, wow, I like it. I would like more of this. And then as soon as you put up a GoFundMe, she shaved her head too. Oh, my God.

[Amy]

Yeah. So, like. And she had a. This was when blogging was very, very popular. So she had a blog and people were dedicated to her updates and they'd praying for her and helping her out in various ways. But in her blog, she would get very detailed about what she had. Like, she would use all the medical terms. Like, she. I guess she spent a lot of time researching and googling. Or maybe she had like a nurse.

[Bobby Bones]

Go be a nurse or a doctor.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, she would use all this language that made it seem like, oh, I mean, she obvious. Obviously no one would question her because of how detailed she was with everything. And then it just started to unravel and it got real weird. So I. I encourage people to watch the documentary. Documentary. Or you can listen to the podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm looking at a picture she posted too. She's like, in A hospital bed. She may not be at a hospital, but it's a hospital bed. And she has, like, some sort of medical pack thing on her head. All these patches on her. Like, they put on sticky patches to hold all the IVs and monitors. That is crazy. She's got the nose thing going around where it goes in to give you the oxygen. Like, I'm donating money to her now.

[Amy]

Right. And so she would go in and out of remission. She'd be like, the cancer's gone. It's gone. And then, you know, because she would appear to be doing okay, and then suddenly, at some point, she'd be like, oh, my gosh, I hate to report this. I have terrible news. My cancer has returned.

[Bobby Bones]

You think that's because she was broke or because she wanted the attention again?

[Amy]

Probably. But, I mean, I. Good point. I don't know her exact motives.

[Bobby Bones]

And how did she get caught?

[Amy]

There was someone that started to question what was happening. I believe it was a reporter or something that started just doing some digging and then just started. You know, it was sort of like a sweater.

[Bobby Bones]

The thread started to pull in medical files, though.

[Amy]

Well, that's where it got a little bit tricky, because, yeah, you can't call and inquire about it, but somehow this person did and started to figure it out, and it's like the. The string started to pull on the sweater, and it completely unraveled on her.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, big shout out to the person who named her Scamanda. Like, whoever's writing the very first article or writes that, it's like, good, man. She's scamming people. That crazy Amanda. Scam. Amanda Scammanda. Oh, my God. Scamanda.

[Amy]

Yeah, that part.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a legit name.

[Amy]

That part is definitely interesting. So, you know, I don't want to spoil it for anybody that may want to watch the documentary or listen to the podcast, but I just feel for her family and friends and people that were just straight up lied to. I mean, there's people that were. They would drop off food, help take care of her kids, like, send her on trips to places. Like, she would do stuff, I believe, with the American Cancer Society. Like, they'd fly her to New York.

[Bobby Bones]

And she's committed, but, I mean, she was in.

[Amy]

Yeah, she was.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucks. I wonder how many times I've been scammed and don't know it, because I'm sure people are pulling this off as well. Not even about this, but if she went this far, I imagine I've been scammed in Some ways we probably all have. And you know what? I'd rather get scammed a couple times and help. Let's say out of 10 times, I'd rather get scammed twice and be able to help eight people than help nobody because I'm worried about always getting scammed. Does that make sense how I said.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, I get it. Well, there was that one time you send somebody $500 by accident.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that was. She thought I was scamming her. Right. I venmoed somebody by a listener was like, hey. And they weren't even asking for money. I enjoy helping people. And so I was like, hey, let me just say 500 bucks because it'll help that bill or whatever. So I sent her the 500 bucks. I never heard a thank you back. And I was like, well, that's weird. Maybe I got scammed. And then we searched for it, and I sent the wrong person the money. And the person that I said I was sending the money thought I was doing, like, radio lie guy, where he's like. He gets on the radio and lies. And so everybody thought they were getting scammed, Even the person who received the money, they were, like, waiting for me to ask for it back. Yes. Okay. That's a lot of commitment, though. We just. Let's acknowledge that. I hate it. I hate that she did that. And I hate that whatever happened in her life that made her want to do that. I know, but that's kind of person who's working for you, you know, they're committed. You don't want that specific. But I can. I can respect the commitment. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. I'm gonna help you tame your stress a bit and sleep a little better. Because experts say that if you call a close friend or loved one in the 90 minutes before you go to bed, and I guess as long as you're not in a fight or something, that comfort. That voice again, tames stress and allows for deeper stages of sleep, like being around. What about, like, your spouse, though?

[Eddie]

This is right there, Right there.

[Bobby Bones]

It's stressful, like, but they say if you call, like, a really close friend or like a parent, a relative within 90 minutes of sleep, and it's a good conversation, it will help you sleep better. Thought that was pretty good. For people that are. Are struggling sleeping. Do you do melatonin at all?

[Amy]

No, I can't do melatonin. Nope. For whatever reason, my chemical makeup does not like it.

[Bobby Bones]

What does it do to you?

[Amy]

I actually has the Opposite effect. And I'm more restless, and then the next day, I feel horrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure you get that mixed up with your Adderall, which will keep you up?

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't take that anymore. I don't take it.

[Bobby Bones]

You did.

[Amy]

I know. Yeah, but I mean, no, because I've. I've. I tried to do, like, smaller doses of melatonin or maybe a melatonin blend where it has these other things and just a little dabble of that, but no. If I don't fall asleep in the right amount of time, then I end up tossing and turning, and then I feel horrible the next day.

[Bobby Bones]

Melatonin does not affect me in any way.

[Amy]

So it just says nothing to you?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing. Like, I've tried it, and then I've, like, tripled up, like, done experiments with myself over the weekends. Like, let me see if I can do five of them.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It really does. Nothing. And I. The other things that I've tried, I've tried, like, the vitamins that make you, like, supposed to. Nothing. Nothing.

[Amy]

Oh, I do magnesium now.

[Bobby Bones]

I try. I did that. It works, like, two days, and then I'm really. Caffeine doesn't even work.

[Amy]

Have you tried magnesium?

[Eddie]

What. What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you doing yoga?

[Amy]

No, but there's a. There's a powdered mix called magnesium, and it really relaxes you. That's what it's called. I thought that if I believed it.

[Bobby Bones]

It may help a little more. It would have a bit of the placebo effect.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't. But I don't.

[Amy]

Okay, well, maybe if you try magnesium anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Call somebody you're close to if you're having a stressful day so you can go to sleep and sleep better. All right. Thank you. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones.
