[Voicemail Caller]

Come on Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Transmitting across America, this is the Bobby Bo. Welcome to Thursday's show Morning Studio. If someone rides their Venmo on their car, is there any way you would donate to it at all? 0% chance because you saw someone just. Just married?

[Amy]

Yeah, it had Kiwi on the back of their Jeep. Just married and then the Venmo account. So if you Wanted to contribute to, I guess, their honeymoon or they're just, you know, life is newlyweds together.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you ever do that at all?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

No. I've seen millions of those.

[Lunchbox]

It drives me nuts. Everybody does it now. Oh, it's my birthday, it's my graduation. Girls trip, like, stop the first person that did it. Creative. Cool, Great idea. Now everybody does it. It's so annoying. It's overplayed.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, why does it annoy you, though? It's not taking anything from you.

[Amy]

Yeah, you just ignore it. Let them drive by.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it annoys me. I see a driver, I'm just like, oh my gosh, you're so annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't you do it on your window to see if anybody will just give you money?

[Eddie]

Good idea.

[Lunchbox]

Not a bad idea.

[Amy]

He doesn't have a window bicycle.

[Bobby Bones]

You could ride it on your wife's back windshield. Yeah, and then just link your Venmo and then over the course of like a week, we see how much you've raised.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Even better.

[Eddie]

On the bike. He can have a cardboard sign on his back that says, need a car, Venmo me.

[Lunchbox]

Not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you're actually not on your bike in public as much as your wife is in your car.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

You can do both. But do this.

[Amy]

Do you think his wife is with his Venmo?

[Bobby Bones]

Would she let you ride the video?

[Eddie]

Okay, yeah, okay, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

So why are you writing it then?

[Lunchbox]

That's a great question.

[Bobby Bones]

How about this? New baby.

[Lunchbox]

That's it.

[Eddie]

So he's going to lie.

[Lunchbox]

Well, no matter what, I'm going to lie.

[Eddie]

No, you're not. You need a car. You need a car.

[Bobby Bones]

No matter what he said, he's going to lie.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Cuz I'm going to put bachelor party or I'm going to put something no

[Eddie]

one's going to believe. Bachelor party.

[Bobby Bones]

How about New baby? New baby could use help. Could use help.

[Amy]

She's not. He's begging. She's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Show your Venmo on there and then, then leave it up for a week and let's just see how much money you make.

[Lunchbox]

That is great. New Baby. People are. That's the heartstrings.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it is tugging right at them.

[Bobby Bones]

If I saw someone drive by with their Venmo on their car, I'd probably give them five bucks.

[Lunchbox]

You would?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think so. Like if I were not moving, like if I were stopped somewhere and saw it. Otherwise I'm not going to remember. I'm not going to remember Five minutes. But if you catch me right then I think I'd give him five bucks or ten bucks.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but, like, what if it's like. Eddie, let's say you pull up the stoplight and it's a girl girls trip, and it's a bunch of hotties. You can write on the subject line, I bought you a beer because you're hot.

[Amy]

Okay, yeah. If you want to do that, why

[Bobby Bones]

don't you do that on your window? Girls trip.

[Lunchbox]

No, I like. I think the baby's gonna get more. More traction.

[Bear Grylls]

Emotional.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The problem is you have a kind of a nice suv. How much help do you really need?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I mean, if you say new baby, they're gonna think it was an unexpected baby.

[Amy]

Well, maybe that's what the cardboard says on the back of his bike.

[Bobby Bones]

New baby. Okay, so get it out.

[Lunchbox]

Needs surgery. That's.

[Eddie]

That's too complicated.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that's going to do as well. I don't know. A m. We're terrible people. Do new baby need help? And this is a science experiment. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'll do this so people. Just so people don't, like, have a bad taste in their mouth from this. Whatever Lunchbox raises, you're going to double it. For me, not for you. But I will. Whatever you raise, I will donate to

[Amy]

someone with a new baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'll donate to an organization that helps people with new babies. Oh, okay.

[Lunchbox]

That guy that called in.

[Eddie]

You don't want to do that with a whole amount. Donate it to some. Someplace.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he's not going to give it to us. We've learned this, right?

[Eddie]

It's his Venmo, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, but it is science experiments if people do it.

[Bear Grylls]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Right on your window. I will let us know. We'll check back in a week or so. It's the anonymous in box. Anonymous in box.

[Lunchbox]

There's a question to

[Bobby Bones]

send it into the mountain. Hello, Bobby Bones. We've all heard about men going through a midlife crisis, but women always seem to get a pass. My wife just turned 50. She seems to be going through one. I'm all for expressing individuality, but since her birthday, she's dyed her hair three different shades of pastel, gotten piercings and a tattoo. At first it was fun and kind of hot, but now I'm wondering if there's something she's overcompensating for or. Or that she's trying to avoid. Any thoughts? Signed Nervous about nose rings? Amy, I'll go to you. You're a woman.

[Amy]

God, sounds like she's.

[Bobby Bones]

Lend me some of your woman knowledge.

[Amy]

I don't know. I've never done anything like that drastic in a. You know, from my hormones, my normal hormones, it doesn't lead to piercing her hair dye. But maybe she's just. This is something she wanted to do earlier and she didn't have the confidence to do it, or she was too scared and now that she's lived life a little, she's like, oh, I want to kind of do this stuff that I've always wanted to do.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're saying, yeah, maybe she wanted

[Amy]

tattoos when she was younger, she wanted to color her hair when she was younger, and for whatever reason, it was holding her back. And then now I've heard late 40s, early 50s, you finally realize, like, oh, I don't, I don't need to worry about what other people think. I'm just going to go for it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's a time where there's a lot of reflection, there's a lot of questioning, there's some transitioning happening, at least with the body, the woman's body. Cuz I, I'm just thinking that too. With me.

[Amy]

Well, I know, but I was saying, like hormonally, it's never led to me altering. My mind's more just like you come

[Bobby Bones]

in with one of the cow things on your nose. We're going to be like, Amy's going through it.

[Amy]

That's what I meant. Like my perimenopause hasn't led me to do any changes in my body. It's more of just changes in my behavior.

[Bobby Bones]

I think a lot of times too, with men and possibly women, there's like an unfulfillment and a fear of what is to come. And all this could be happening, but I think it is probably investing the time to find out the root of why she's wanting to do all this. It may not be a midlife crisis. It could be, you know, was talking to Cheryl Crow on the Bobby cast and she had cancer and her oncologist was like, hey, you better use this as a point in your life to kind of reevaluate like what's valuable to you. And maybe she's had one of those moments too where she's going, yeah, I want to live out some of the things I've always wanted to do. My advice here is to just try to find out what the root of it is. It could be that. It could be she's just, you know, mortality is creeping in. So let's do some stuff. But it could also be that she wants to date a biker. It could be anything in between. But yes, there's something that is unfulfilled right now. I think you need to find out what it is. I think you need to walk alongside her. This feels a little too drastic in this short area. I'm not against any of it, but it seems like a lot quick. And that's where it feels a bit dangerous because you can't reverse some of that crap. Tattoos.

[Amy]

Well, I mean, you can, but it's

[Bobby Bones]

going to be forever expensive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So my advice to you is lovingly try to find the root of it and then you can go along with her. How cool would it be if you both got piercings and tattoos?

[Amy]

Color your hair.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Or you get a Corvette, you know, There you go. Good luck, man. Bones. All right. Country Music lyrics Ray, what's the first question?

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox had to call nine one one again. Oh, what's the story, man?

[Lunchbox]

We were driving, had the family in the car and there's a median in the middle. And I look over in the westbound lanes, there is a car sideways, axle is broken. Windshield wipers are going, it's not raining out. The car running and it's blocking half a lane of traffic. And I'm like, man, something's wrong. And I'm driving and no one something's wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, dude, you think something's wrong?

[Lunchbox]

So I told the wife, I was like, I gotta make a ue. And I was like, give me the phone. And I called 91 1. I was like, hey, we got a situation here. Wreck car. And they're like, is anybody in the vehicle? And so they made me get out and go look in the vehicle.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. There was no one in the vehicle.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they had you get out and go look in. So you were the first person to call then?

[Lunchbox]

I was the first one to call.

[Eddie]

There was no one there.

[Lunchbox]

No one there.

[Bobby Bones]

Weird door open, windshield wipers moving.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Axle broken.

[Lunchbox]

Axle broken. Front right, axle broken. Snap. It was turned sideways and it was blocking Half a lane of traffic. Like, it was halfway into the lane, and it was like the entrance ramp to the highway.

[Bobby Bones]

So then what happens?

[Lunchbox]

So then I call 91 1, I tell them where I'm at, and they're like, okay, did you see anybody run from the vehicle? I'm like, no, I just saw the vehicle. They asked me for the make, the license plate. They said, we'll get officers right out to you. And then me worried that someone was going to crash into it. I blocked the lane of traffic. I stayed there till the cops arrived.

[Eddie]

With your body or your car?

[Lunchbox]

The car.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

And people were still pulling up, like, getting. Going around our vehicle, getting up behind it and honking at it. Like, guys, it's turned sideways. I don't think it's going anywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Were your kids in the car?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Were they in the car while you were blocking traffic?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So someone could have ran into your car with your kids in it?

[Lunchbox]

They could have.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't get them out.

[Lunchbox]

It's safer to stay in the car.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you're blocking traffic, though, is it still safe?

[Lunchbox]

But, I mean, I had my flashers on so they would see me.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, the state trooper showed up or whatever, and he was like, were you the driver? And I was like, no, man. I just came upon the vehicle, and I thought, you know, something bad had happened. And he goes, all right, thanks for being a good citizen. No. And then they took over from there.

[Bobby Bones]

Key to the city.

[Lunchbox]

Nope. I drove off.

[Eddie]

That make you feel good when he said that?

[Caller Bobby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Being a good citizen.

[Lunchbox]

I was like, no. And then I was blocked. I was just, you know, blocking it. So no one came up on it and ran into it. You know, it didn't want people. Another accident. He goes, thanks for being a good citizen.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool, though.

[Lunchbox]

But now, question.

[Bobby Bones]

What's your theory?

[Lunchbox]

My theory was it was a stolen car, they wrecked it, and they said, oh, we're out of here strong.

[Bobby Bones]

What's your question?

[Lunchbox]

Was that valid, 91 1?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, 100. This is the one that's valid.

[Podcast Announcer]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Like, as you were explaining everything, I was thinking, yeah, you have to call 911 when you see this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's valid. Yeah. Good for you. It's a good citizen there.

[Lunchbox]

And how. How crazy is that?

[Bobby Bones]

What if someone would have been in it, like, struggling? Dude, you'd have made the news. Dude, do you wish someone would have been in struggling so you could have made the news? Like, hurt?

[Lunchbox]

No. Well, okay. Like a broken leg?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Broken leg, maybe like some contusions, but not dead.

[Lunchbox]

That's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

And you have to pull them out.

[Lunchbox]

That have been good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah,

[Lunchbox]

yeah. I was like, oh, I don't want to see that. I don't want to see that.

[Bobby Bones]

But you went in anyway.

[Lunchbox]

I went in it because they asked me. They said, is anybody in the car? I was like, I. I don't know. And they go, can you look, Scuba Steve?

[Bobby Bones]

You got to go dig this one out.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, I'm working on it for you.

[Bobby Bones]

All 911 calls are public. You go in, we'll get it. Do you feel good about us getting it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, I feel like a hero.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you told the story the real way.

[Lunchbox]

I told it the real way.

[Bobby Bones]

Then, hey, he almost saved a life. If one would have needed saved, you'd have been there. That's a good citizen. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Thanks for being a good citizen.

[Bobby Bones]

So I am a big fan of Bear Grylls. He had man vs. Wild, where he'd go out by himself and survive. He did Running Wild with Bear Grylls, which I was lucky enough to do that show a couple of times still on Disney plus, if you want to see it, went to Norway and fell off cliffs and helicopters. Crazy. He's such a lovely guy. He also was in the British special forces, so, like, he knows what he's doing. So super cool, super nice. And that show now is on Fox and he takes celebrities out. And I was asking him, like, what celebrity surprised you the most? So here he is, one of my favorite people, Bear Grylls on the Bobby Bones show now, Bear Grylls. During that two days, they feel like they can't do it yet they still are able to achieve it. And at the end, there's a real pride. Has that happened with many celebrities?

[Bear Grylls]

It's so true. It's the beating heart of what makes the show special. It's a beating heart of why I've always loved the outdoors. You know, we see total transformation of people every time. You know, it doesn't matter who you are. It's like the world is going to beat you down a little bit, and you're going to have to face some fears and you're going to have to work hard and dig deep, and you're going to be cold, you're going to be wet and hungry. But at the end, there's always that light in their eye and, like, a super sense of empowerment that, again, you can't cheat your way there, you can't buy your way there. No drug or Anything is going to give you. It's different. Humans tend to sort of push until somebody says stop. And I see it often on this show, like, you know, I mean, you are so great. You're so grounded and normal. You just laughed and off we go.

[Lunchbox]

But.

[Bear Grylls]

But sometimes I kind of see them looking, like, when their feet are instantly wet. And some I kind of see them half kind of looking around as if, are we going to. And I love it every time, isn't it? They never go, you know, we need. I need new booze. They always love it. They're always like, great. But it's like, there was always that often that moment of, like, really, we're really doing this. We're really crossing this river and you're. You're really tying the rope off this cliff to this little spindly root. And it's like, yeah, but it's good. It's strong. I've done this all my life, and we're good. And I will often back it up with a second one, but it. It never needs it. You know, I do it because we're always safer. I put a second line on them, but it's like the roots always hold or the, you know, the Little rock thread. Reviews on a tiny little bit of whatever works. And that's the fun part of it. Again, it's like you kind of wing it. And I think the guests, again, love that dynamic at the end because it's what makes them feel proud of themselves. It is legit, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you give me an example of one person that you were extremely proud of when it was over because you felt real growth from within them as you were doing it?

[Bear Grylls]

Yeah. I think on this season, like, you know, even Uma Thurman was so great. She was. At the end of it, she was literally hands aloft, going, this has been one of the best days of my life. We're gonna do this again. I want to bring Maya Hawk, my daughter. She's. She'd love it, like, with or without the camera, because we got to do more of this. And. And I love that. And even, like. Even, like one machine gun Kelly mgk, who's so sort of quiet and. And he was sort of nervous beforehand and quite kind of in, you know, and. And at the end, he was just. Had tears in his eyes. You know, he said, it's just. I've got Norwegian. So much Norwegian heritage going through my. My blood and my family. And I wanted to come back to this area. And I don't know, I love that sort of Connection. It's why I always feel the friendships we make on Running Wild are wonderful, and they're lasting, and they're different to, you know, if you do a movie with someone or you go on a chat show. You know, it's like you and me have seen each other at some difficult moments where we were both pretty scared, and. And yet you do it side by side together. And that's the power.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bones Show. If you want to hear that interview, the whole thing's about an hour long. Just go search for the Bobby cast. You can watch it on Netflix.

[Voicemail Caller]

Hey, studio, quick question for Eddie. Why wouldn't you just go to the bank to get a loan out if you think an idea is so great instead of asking Bobby every time and to invest and whatever you want to do? Just kind of curious. Thanks. Love the show.

[Bobby Bones]

This has happened multiple times where I'm like, dude, if you believe in the idea, go get money out of the bank. Take a loan out.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Is. Is there like, checks and balances? Like, do they check your. Like, what do you call your credit?

[Bobby Bones]

Checks and balances is more of a government thing.

[Eddie]

Okay. Like. Like, like, can I just go and get a loan or.

[Amy]

Yes, they're going to check things.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah. And they're going to make sure you have collateral.

[Eddie]

There may be problems there.

[Bobby Bones]

But then why would I jump in?

[Eddie]

Oh, because it's a whole different business venture. You're not checking to see my past. We're looking into the future, my friend.

[Bobby Bones]

Say that to the bank. Just like, don't look into my past.

[Amy]

Look into my.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's look into the future.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember when Eddie wanted me to buy a house with them?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did you. Did I tell you what happened with that house?

[Amy]

I think you did, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. No one bid on it?

[Eddie]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

And then. So then they bought it and sold it for a bunch of money. Yeah, but you could have done that. You don't need me.

[Amy]

That's the update.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We never updated you guys. They sold it for so much money that quickly.

[Bobby Bones]

That quickly missed out because you lazy and didn't want to go buy and spend your own money.

[Eddie]

You missed.

[Bobby Bones]

I did not.

[Eddie]

You didn't invest in this.

[Bobby Bones]

I did not. I didn't want to.

[Eddie]

How quickly. Quick question. How quickly can you get money from the bank?

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of. What do you mean?

[Eddie]

Like, like, if I can, I can

[Bobby Bones]

get a bit of cash, I can go now. He's like, give me some cash. Sometimes I don't have a loan.

[Eddie]

Like, if I need 50 grand, how. How quickly can I get that?

[Bobby Bones]

I have no idea.

[Eddie]

Because, like, that seems like, that would take a while.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm assuming a couple weeks.

[Eddie]

Yes. That's too much.

[Amy]

Okay, let's call it one week.

[Eddie]

That's doable.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, that's a great call. Thank you for calling, asking that question. All right, give me the next one.

[Voicemail Caller]

Hi, this is Darcy in Idaho. I was just listening to the show, and I heard y' all give in a hard time to Amy for not being able to say crown. Well, I say crown the same way. The things we color with. I'm sure everybody has a word they can't really pronounce, so. Yeah, I just. I wonder what yalls words you can't pronounce are. And crown is one of mine. I cannot say that correctly. Cray crayon. Crying, praying.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I think you could. And Amy can, too. Just like Lunchbox can say ambulance. You guys have just chosen not to.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, we have not chosen not to.

[Bobby Bones]

If you are saying it, say ambulance.

[Lunchbox]

Ambulance.

[Bobby Bones]

No, say.

[Lunchbox]

If I.

[Bobby Bones]

If I say no. No, say ambulance.

[Lunchbox]

Ambulance. I have to do it like that. If I just say it, ambulance. I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't. You can, but you don't. And Amy could if she wanted to say crayon, but she's been trained through her whole life to say crown.

[Eddie]

Say it, Amy.

[Amy]

Crown.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

We all have these. But it's not that we physically can't change. It's that we choose not to change.

[Eddie]

What's yours?

[Bobby Bones]

I have a lot. I don't know. My accent's so thick. I say stupid stuff all the time.

[Amy]

But you worked on changing your accent.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but it's still a Southern accent.

[Amy]

I know, but you could hear. Able to do it proves we should be able to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You could say crayon all day long, every day if you wanted to.

[Amy]

That's how. That's how much I would have to say it for it to sink in. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And Lunchbox could say ambulance, but he says, I can't.

[Lunchbox]

I.

[Bobby Bones]

He wants a job as, like, a PA Announcer, but he's like, I can't say ambulance.

[Lunchbox]

It's. The thing is, I would have to sit there and consciously think about how

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to say yes for a long time. You would have to go ambulance.

[Amy]

So Crown.

[Bobby Bones]

I am Lance. I. I struggle with cavalry because I would say calvary.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a different but. Yeah, but I don't say I just can't do it. I just do it.

[Lunchbox]

Those are the same word, aren't they?

[Eddie]

That's a different word.

[Bobby Bones]

Calvin Cavill, like Flatland Cavalry is how to say it. But I was naturally Calvary.

[Eddie]

You guys say. I say the wolf funny.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you say every Spanish word funny in the middle. In the middle of your complete English dialect.

[Eddie]

See?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Wolf.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Wolf.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fine. Yeah, thank you.

[Eddie]

I've been working on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. We didn't compliment you, Darcy. Thank you. By the way, if you guys want to call us about anything, you can 877-77-Bobby. You can leave a voicemail. Eddie's big Kevin Costner guy.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, Costner.

[Bobby Bones]

That's Costner. But you just choose to say it wrong.

[Eddie]

No, I'm pretty sure it's Costner.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we asked him. We literally asked him. They said it's Costner. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Got a physical yesterday, so my insurance demands it and so I went and it takes a few hours. I really like my doctor. It's just such a process and they couldn't get blood out of my arm.

[Amy]

Are you hydrated?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that really could have been it. I'm not sure. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job at hydration, but I'm probably never hydrated exactly right. So I go and they're awesome at my doctor's office and they're like, okay. And they put the band on and usually the only veins I have are on My left arm to get to. My right arm's kind of weak, so they do left arm. And it's not that I'm scared of needles, and it doesn't even hurt that bad. So I put my arm out, and they're like, boom. I'm like, okay, we're all good then. We're all good. Once it's in, I don't even look at it, but it's all good. And they're going, man, we just. We can't get much blood. We got a little bit. They fill up with one vial. Like, are you out now? Now I think I'm dying. Like, they got some.

[Amy]

Because it should fill up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. The same road you just drove down, like, just. And they're. They're going, we're gonna have to pull it out and do it again. And I'm like, that's fine. Go ahead. So they strap me up again, and I say to them, I know what you're gonna have to do. They said, what? You're gonna have to go through my hand?

[Amy]

No, not the hand.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't want to do it.

[Eddie]

That hurts.

[Bobby Bones]

But I said, you're gonna have to do the hand. It sucks. So they, like, did my wrist, I think where they put the blood, you know, they stop it. That the blood, like, they wrap you up and they found a vein. It just is not good. I might have cried and peed a little. Like, I think it had a little liquid coming out the top and the bottom.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was just like.

[Amy]

It's an interesting response to that. Never had that happen before.

[Bobby Bones]

So got all the blood out, and I did ask him to test for my testosterone.

[Eddie]

Oh, you did.

[Bobby Bones]

Just to be fair for you guys.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Amy]

Not at all.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm curious about it. And, you know, we had Amy's gynecologist in earlier. If mine happens to not be good, I'm very happy to go in and try to get it fixed, because I know that is such an important part of just feeling good.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So they take all the blood, and then I have to go. I put on this gown, and they do all the EKG stuff on me. It's a pretty intense physical.

[Amy]

Is that intense of a physical required for our insurance?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I was there already.

[Amy]

You just went extra.

[Bobby Bones]

And my doctor's like, hey, if you want to do this stuff, we also can do it to check your heart.

[Amy]

Okay. You got the special package? Because I'm like, shoot, I upgraded.

[Eddie]

You got the. Let's try it for fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Well enough. It Was fun, but so I got the EKG stuff and he was like, all good. I don't have my blood results back, but I have a confession. And I thought about not sharing it, but I think at some point it's going to come out. They measured my height and made me take off.

[Eddie]

Goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

They measured my height. They made me take my shoes off and socks.

[Eddie]

Oh, no. You're taller than you thought.

[Bobby Bones]

I wish. And I didn't stretch and I was 6 foot point 3 inches in shoes. I'm still over 6:1.

[Amy]

This is to tell me something suck.

[Eddie]

But you're usually in shoes.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I said too. And I asked to do it again for a recount and they were like, no, we're good recounts. You don't need a recount. I really didn't stretch really high.

[Amy]

I didn't hang upside down.

[Bobby Bones]

I just should have prepared better. Dang. So I was like six foot and a third in shoes. I'm definitely six one, so I'm still gonna hold on to that. But barefoot, I was six foot and 3.3.

[Amy]

So you're six foot.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm six foot and a third in shoes, I'm six foot one.

[Amy]

But isn't it like if it's less than a half, you round down. If it's up above a half, you round up.

[Bobby Bones]

I prefer to measure and shoes, so you can do whatever you want. I asked to go back and measure and choose, and they said no. I did the thing where I held on and they did the body mass thing. And I was, you know, 6 foot, and I was like 172, which is about 5 pounds more than I feel like I should be. But I'm coming off an ankle injury. Coming off a baby, I feel okay about that. But I did the grip. They did the grip test to see if you're strong, you know, how your bones are doing.

[Amy]

That's very important for longevity these days.

[Eddie]

The grip.

[Amy]

Yeah, the grip. Grip. Grip equals how long you're gonna live from what I see online. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, boy.

[Amy]

How strong are you?

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay. Really?

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Amy]

I figure your grip is great.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Amy]

I don't know. Because I just feel like you're interested.

[Bobby Bones]

I come across as a strong grip guy or what? Yes, it was. They said, okay, you're. If you grip it to like 75, that would be good for your age. And I was way above 75, but I was. I was looking for like the hundreds.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, but that's the high achiever in you. I think you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

My hand hurts because I tried so hard.

[Eddie]

We should try to get one of those machines.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a little sore today because I really needed to hit the 100. I think it's like 98 or something. So I guess good for. For my age. I'm not trying to compete with my age.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway, that's my physical. It's good. I'm healthy. My blood's not back yet, so who knows? All that could come back. I could be dying tomorrow. But all the stuff that I did was. Was good. That hand. That blood through the hand crap, man, that is not. You ever done that?

[Amy]

I think I've only had to do it once, like a long, long time ago. And yeah, it was the worst.

[Bobby Bones]

Should we do that just so everybody can feel it?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, just bring someone in?

[Eddie]

Yeah. No, no, We've all felt it.

[Bobby Bones]

You had both of the hand.

[Eddie]

Oh, I've had it for sure. Right in the back of the hand. Yes. Does not feel good.

[Lunchbox]

I'll say. I've had it too.

[Bobby Bones]

Just to cover your basis.

[Lunchbox]

I've had it hurts really bad. Ow.

[Bobby Bones]

Does you guys insurance make you have a physical every year?

[Amy]

Don't we have the same insurance?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but if we don't do it, we have to pay more.

[Bobby Bones]

The real story, I think, is that I think my premium with the company is very, very much higher because if I die, then they lose tons of money because the show's named after me. It's my show.

[Eddie]

Doesn't seem fair.

[Lunchbox]

I think that'd be your life insurance.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not. I have to have security all the time because of the company. No, If I die, the company feels like they lose a ton of money because I'm on this is Me. I'm a bottom line to them. 200 stations, all these podcasts that I host. So that's a dollar amount. So they have to make sure I'm healthy enough so they. Their insurance premium on me is lower.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Doesn't really make us feel good.

[Amy]

So we're all.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not to. No, it's not to make you feel good or bad. I'm just telling you that's why I have to do the extra stuff.

[Amy]

So who do we reach out to to find our value?

[Eddie]

Yeah, Yeah. I don't feel very valued at the boss.

[Lunchbox]

Be like, hey, excuse me. Do I need a better physical?

[Amy]

Is it hr?

[Bobby Bones]

This has been something for a while. When I started to like, get like death threats and had people like jumping me and stuff, they Were like, we have to one put security with you because we can't get insurance on you as an entity, not as a person, because it looks like people trying to kill you. It's a whole weird thing. I think that's why mine's a little more intense.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

But yours should be a little more intense than theirs.

[Amy]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

See? Why?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, why? All I do is high five the doctor.

[Eddie]

You're good, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox walks in, signs it, checks in. All right. You look alive. All right.

[Eddie]

Hey, I've never heard that before.

[Amy]

I'll look into this.

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

I've never told you that. No, it's not something that I'm bragging about.

[Eddie]

And the company's never like, hey, you need to get your physical.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, well, I real talk.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If something happened to you and you died. I think because we're all just seen as bottom line numbers.

[Caller Bobby]

Right?

[Eddie]

But we're all human.

[Bobby Bones]

But that doesn't matter in the company. We're not humans. We're bottom lines.

[Lunchbox]

They wouldn't.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're in Employee identification number.

[Eddie]

Yeah, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

We're human to the people we know, and it's great. We have great relationships, I hope. And. But to the company, to the business, we're a bottom line. We're as important to the business as the bottom line that we create. I think if something happened to you,

[Eddie]

it's gonna be tough to fill that bottom line.

[Amy]

Well, probably. Brandon Ray, slide right in, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Amy's already got us. Amy's already got a successor.

[Lunchbox]

Already got the replacement. No, no, we need someone that says salsa.

[Eddie]

Yes. He's a white guy.

[Amy]

We have a token Hispanic.

[Bobby Bones]

Which one? Mike D. Is he the token? Then what's Eddie?

[Amy]

Well, Mike D. Was here first.

[Eddie]

What's token mean?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude. I think Raymundo can be the token at this point. He's not even his fan.

[Amy]

Or Raymundo.

[Bobby Bones]

He just created a fake name.

[Amy]

I was just following up on Lunchbox, saying we needed someone to say salsa,

[Lunchbox]

but I didn't say token.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the. What's lunchbox?

[Amy]

A token of the token Zany.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the zany guy.

[Amy]

Yeah. I'm going to say crazy things like,

[Eddie]

so who would fill his spot?

[Amy]

Cheerleader.

[Bobby Bones]

Who fills his spot immediately?

[Amy]

My wife has to cook. Lunchbox will be a little more.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot harder. A lot harder.

[Amy]

That's okay with being ridiculed all the time. I have second hand embarrassment for him, but he, like, doesn't get embarrassed. You have to find someone that's just okay with it being obnoxious.

[Eddie]

Okay. Well, anyway, that was fun.

[Bobby Bones]

I had a physical yesterday and it was intense. It was three and a half hours long.

[Amy]

I mean, Ray could maybe do lunchbox a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

I've thought that before too.

[Quiz Question Reader]

Yeah, I mean, I got high teeth.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have to be him.

[Amy]

So that's like an easy.

[Lunchbox]

Just slide around the most socially awkward person in the world, a very anxiety ridden everybody, and you think he could take my spot.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not about doing exactly what you do. It doesn't have to be someone that does. Eddie's is a skill set. Eddie runs all the cameras. Eddie does all the video editing. It's a skill set.

[Lunchbox]

Being entertaining.

[Bobby Bones]

Just somebody with a different perspective that can be entertaining.

[Amy]

Yeah, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Anyway, like.

[Amy]

Like when. Wait, Ray, the weather guy, you know, like he can be a little zany.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy Ray. How's the weather today? Crazy Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Here in town, it's Crazy Ray the weather guy. Pretty rainy and wet. It's kind of nuts out there.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Careful when you get kicked out of

[Bobby Bones]

the building when you're driving.

[Amy]

Hey, so hold on. Just a little improv.

[Lunchbox]

So we just need a woman that rambles to take Amy's spot.

[Eddie]

Right, Abby?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Abby can ramble in.

[Amy]

Sure, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Well, everybody, this segment was never supposed to go this way. You guys can call us if you would like. 87777. Bobby. That's our number. Back in a second. We got a manager of a fast food chain who's facing charges for putting the fries in his mouth before serving them.

[Amy]

What? Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Punch him in the face. Punch him in the face. That guy needs to be punched in the face. Yeah, and go to jail. The investigation began with the review of a video incident. It's posted to Facebook, was first on Snapchat. Police say that this person, it was a woman too. I never would have thought that.

[Amy]

Oh, I definitely was picturing a man.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too. This is like stupid stuff a guy does.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So she put the fries in her mouth before serving them to a customer. In April, both the customer and the restaurant owner told police they wanted to pursue criminal charges. Yep, pursue them. Heck, I'd make them stand on one of those lines where you have to be like, identify which one. Even though I knew who it was, just to make her stand up there and be like, that's her. And then I have them turn the lights on and they'd see me pointing at her.

[Eddie]

Oh, nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they keep the lights off so you can't See who it is. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then you're behind, like a mirror or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But then they'd know it was me. I'd be like, that's her. I'd make them all put fries in their mouth to watch, to see if. Yeah. Haven't put. Have her put fries in her mouth. Let me see if that was her.

[Amy]

So was this just like her thing or was it retaliation? Like, was the customer rude? So she's like, I'll show you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm glad you asked. Thank you very much. She's charged with distributing food from a harmful substance in a schedule for arraignment. The victim was an ex girlfriend of Santos. Wow.

[Amy]

Oh, lovers quarrel.

[Eddie]

Is that what it's called?

[Amy]

Something like that, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, if you're the ex girlfriend, you probably don't go into a restaurant where the ex. The ex works because, you know, there's a chance.

[Lunchbox]

I don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not victim blaming. I remember say that I'm not victim blaming, but if it were me, I should say, and now we're going in to eat. And it was whomever I was with ex working in there in the kitchen. Ain't no way.

[Eddie]

Maybe she didn't know she works there.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe so.

[Amy]

But I bet she's my. Like, I'm just letting it go. Like, go and just don't deal with that person ever again. Clearly there she's unwell. So, like, don't go back. You press charges, you're just asking for more trouble down the line.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a story, too, which I don't think is much of a story, but this guy was making dinner, bought a bag of lettuce, and there was a live frog inside of it. Oh, I don't feel like that's gross because what's natural?

[Lunchbox]

Frogs.

[Amy]

How does it stay alive?

[Lunchbox]

They don't look at it.

[Eddie]

It had been a dead frog, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it was alive.

[Eddie]

Like, barely. That's bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know how fresh that is? Then that's also a plus. That's super fresh.

[Eddie]

Probably got it yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. At first his housemates thought he was joking, and then the frog was hopping around inside the bag. They named it Greg. They released a frog to a local pond. They played Crazy Frog, that song as a send off, and the grocery store apologized. But I'm telling you, I get it. People can be weirded out. But if it says fresh, it gets no fresher than a frog in the bag.

[Eddie]

Would you still eat it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

I clean it and eat it. I sure would. This is what I Would. Do you know how they put. I don't drink, so I'm gonna mess this up. A worm and a bottle of tequila.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

In my lettuce bags and salad bags, there's always one frog.

[Eddie]

Like the worm?

[Quiz Question Reader]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Find the frog, and then when you

[Eddie]

take a shot of the tequila, you're like, eat the worm. So when you do the bag, you're

[Bobby Bones]

like, oh, we let the frog go.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, we don't do that. The worm's probably dead, right?

[Caller Bobby]

It is.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. It's sitting in the bottle of tequila.

[Amy]

All right. Frogs have been known to survive in sealed lettuce bags for at least 48 hours to four days. Though their survival depends on the presence of any small ventilation holes and refrigerated conditions.

[Bobby Bones]

Justice for the frog. Did nothing wrong.

[Eddie]

You're right. Four days is not a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fresh. Fresh. What are the. Woolworths makes fresh bags of salad.

[Amy]

Farm to table.

[Bobby Bones]

Frog to table.

[Eddie]

I didn't know Woolworths was still around.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't my town regionally. We didn't have Woolworths, man.

[Eddie]

Woolworths was nice.

[Bobby Bones]

We had Piggly Wiggly and then Food for Less. And then there was also Kroger, but it was Piggly Wiggly and Food for Less that we mostly were at. I'm not sure if the pig still runs.

[Eddie]

There's a Piggly Wiggly by my house.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there is?

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your grocery store?

[Amy]

Heb.

[Bobby Bones]

Texas, for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Heb Rocks, too.

[Lunchbox]

There was Albertsons.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, there was.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't have Albertsons. In Arkansas, where I lived, we didn't have Albertsons.

[Lunchbox]

Albertsons. Apple tree. Heb.

[Bobby Bones]

Kroger was everywhere. Pretty much, right?

[Amy]

Safeway.

[Eddie]

No, we didn't have Kroger's.

[Lunchbox]

We didn't really have Kroger till we came here.

[Amy]

Our Safeway.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a Kroger by my house in Austin. Well, on Brody and Slaughter.

[Eddie]

No, that was Albertson's.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it was a Kroger.

[Amy]

Maybe it was new.

[Lunchbox]

That must have been new.

[Eddie]

You sure? Where I got the muffins from?

[Amy]

You mean right there.

[Eddie]

Chocolate chip muffins by Galaxy Cafe.

[Amy]

Indian Slaughter.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that not a Kroger?

[Eddie]

That was Albertsons.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I might take that bet. I might take that bet.

[Eddie]

We gotta check it.

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah. Heb A plus. Piggly Wig was fun because. Just because there was a pig on it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the pig's face.

[Amy]

It says there are no physical Kroger grocery stores in Austin, Texas.

[Bobby Bones]

But do they know where I live? On Slaughter. Bobby's neighborhood.

[Amy]

I know, but I know where.

[Bobby Bones]

That wasn't a Kroger.

[Amy]

I mean, I.

[Lunchbox]

No, not that I know of.

[Eddie]

Pretty sure it was an Albertsons.

[Bobby Bones]

Well. Hey, hey. Hand up. I was wrong. I was wrong. Bobby Bone show Bonehead story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Ohio. A 19 year old man called his friends like, hey, let's get together for a soccer game. We'll meet at the local park. And someone's like, hey, they only have one soccer goal there. Don't worry about it. I'll put the other one on top of my car and I'll drive it to the field. My problem is he didn't tie it down. He was just driving down the road, soccer goal on top of the car, whoosh, flies off, hits the car behind him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, physics got him or what?

[Amy]

Yeah. Why would he not understand that it was gonna fly off?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it was so heavy, just when he picked it up, he thought it would just stay heavy even while the car was in motion.

[Eddie]

Because his goals are heavy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. I like, also, you can't really rationalize a bonehead. I've learned.

[Amy]

True, true.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Want to go over and talk to Bobby who lives in Louisiana? Hey, Bobby, you're on the show. Good morning.

[Caller Bobby]

Hey, good morning.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, buddy?

[Caller Bobby]

I was just calling. Not much. I'm super excited. I proposed to my girlfriend yesterday and she said yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice.

[Caller Bobby]

I gave her the engagement ring. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Yeah. That's all. I just wanted to share that information with you guys. Hopefully that makes you a little happy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I got a little tickle on my belly. I like that. So what happened? How'd you do it? What was the deal?

[Caller Bobby]

Well, it. We've been living together for a while, taking care of my great aunt who's 97. We moved out of my apartment and we moved in with my great aunt over here in Tallahassee in St. Tammany Parish. And we've been taking care of her. I say she's been taking care of my great aunt. Like I said, She's 97. You know, cooking, cleaning, making meals, making sure she gets her medicines on time, going to doctors appointments, etc. Etc. And we've just been talking about getting married. And one day we went and got the ring and she tried it on and I. And I bought it and the ring was ready. She was sitting in the truck. Funny Thing was, I get in the truck and I hand her the ring and I. And I just said, hey, will you marry me? She said, I would have married you without a ring. Well, $8,000 later.

[Eddie]

Known that.

[Amy]

Good to know.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. That's funny. But yeah, you did. Right. Hey, looks like you got a good one too. A solid one. Who's. Who's been there when times weren't always the easiest.

[Caller Bobby]

Absolutely. She's. She's a gem. She's. She's absolutely. It's. It was absolutely a God thing. If I can say that on the radio.

[Bobby Bones]

No reason you can't.

[Eddie]

You got it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Caller Bobby]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Congratulations. Yeah, we like it. Thank you. All right, man, that brightened us. All right. See you later.

[Caller Bobby]

Thank you. Y' all have. You'll have a great day.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. We love it.

[Eddie]

Are you happier?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think a little bit. I am. I think he could have left out the $8,000 later, if I'm being honest. I just like. I like the story and then, you know.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because I think she was kind of just. That's like a saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

She didn't mean it.

[Amy]
