Key Segments & Highlights

1. The 12 Days of Bobby Bones Christmas

[02:32–12:52]

• The crew attempts multiple times to perform their version of "The Twelve Days of Christmas," with each person adding a lyric representative of their personality or show inside joke.
  • Bobby starts with "A Razorback jersey to wear."
  • Other gifts: "Two therapists" (Amy), "Three homemade salsas" (Eddie), "Four movie stubs," "Five losing lottery tickets" (Lunchbox), "Six rescued animals" (Morgan), "Seven angry callers" (Abby), "Eight bald heads a glistening" (Scuba Steve), "Nine protein smoothies," "Ten freezing studios" (Girls), "Eleven broken cameras," "Twelve alarm clocks blaring."
• Chaos ensues with missed cues, confusion, and banter about who’s supposed to sing when. Lunchbox and Abby especially have trouble with timing and lyrics, leading to repeated starts.
  • Quote, Bobby (04:09): "You've done this every year, and you didn't practice."
• After several hilarious failures and on-air ribbing, they finally make it through the song.

---

2. Food Trauma Stories & Listener Calls

[13:27–16:16]

• A caller recounts finding a human tooth in a breadstick. This launches the crew into sharing their own “food traumas.”
  • Bobby shares his aversion to pudding after overeating government-supplied pudding as a child and how he can’t eat Payday candy bars after eating too many as a broke teen.
  • The discussion branches into gross food finds and whether discovering a frog in a bag of salad would be as traumatizing as a tooth.
  • Quote, Bobby (15:03): "If you get a bag of salad ... and there's a frog in there ... that's actually extra natural."

3. The Wrong Sean Ryan Booking — A Serendipitous Mishap

[16:21–19:26]

• Bobby tells the backstory:
  • They meant to book Sean Ryan (“former Navy SEAL, monster podcast, 5 million YouTube subs”) but ended up with Shawn Ryan, a musician.
  • Rather than cancel, Bobby did the interview anyway out of fairness.
  • The musician ended up having an interesting story (was homeless, busking with family).
  • Bobby expresses excitement about Bobbycast joining Netflix in January.
    • Quote, Bobby (18:14): "I thought, man, I don't want to do him wrong. Let's bring him up anyway ... sometimes it turns out awesome."

---

4. Anonymous Inbox: "Is My Girlfriend Snooping?"

[21:41–25:43]

• Email from a listener about his girlfriend peeking at his phone over his shoulder. Is it "curiosity" or a sign of trust issues?
• The show discusses nuances of phone privacy, snooping, and psychological projections.
  • Bobby suggests: "If she's always looking, she's probably got stuff that's up."
  • Amy wonders if it’s just nosiness.

[30:38–32:34]

• The crew riffs on timing, “vibe," and Amy’s “senioritis” during this segment.

[Caller]

Christmas. You were talking about the girl that thought she had a rat in her food. I had a big table and one of the ladies at the table fit into her breadstick and she. I walked back over to the table and she was like, hey, I found this in my breadstick. It was a tooth, a human tooth. So, love you guys. Love the.

[Morgan]

Show. Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. I think I'm out on breadsticks the rest of my life if I'm eating a breadstick and there's a tooth in one. I have food trauma with a couple of things. Once when I was very young, we used to get government subsidized food so you'd go wait in line and you'd get the food. My grandma would take me, and we got this big thing of pudding. We didn't have a lot of food, so I ate the whole thing of pudding. I can't eat pudding to this day still. If I do, it's very little. Another one was when I was working at Hobby Lobby. I just had baseball practice. I was starving. The only thing because I was working the register was payday candy bars that I felt like was kind of nutritious because there were peanuts in it. And I had, like, seven for dinner. Can't do a payday. To this day, I have food trauma from that, but nothing compared if I had a breadstick and there was a tooth in it, a human.

[Amy]

Tooth. I'm just trying to figure out how. I guess maybe when they were mixing up the dough for the bread, like.

[Bobby Bones]

They'Re. Don't. You know, the tooth falls.

[Amy]

Out. They're facing a.

[Eddie]

Tooth. Yeah. Like. Or is it a kid baking the.

[Amy]

Breadstick? Or is it.

[Bobby Bones]

A. Like.

[Amy]

A. You know, some people have those. They have, like, a flipper. Isn't it called a flipper where you insert, like, just a tooth because you've got, like, a snaggle tooth or.

[Eddie]

Something? It could be an.

[Bobby Bones]

Implant. I pictured a fist fight above the bread. Oh, that's bizarre. I'd have food trauma from that. I. I waited tables for a few years, and when I did that, people would say they had hairs in their food. And I bet you 75% of them were people's own hairs, either that they put in. I don't think that was the majority of the hairs in the food or that came from them. And they didn't know it because someone would be like, I got this red hair in my food. It's really long. And I look at the food, and I'm like, oh, that's really. And I look up, ma', am, I want to see you have red hair.

[Amy]

Right? And, like, with red hair, you're in the minority.

[Bobby Bones]

Hair. And, like, one of 25 people have red hair and nobody in the kitchen has red hair. But no, I would struggle with eating breadsticks again. If I found a tooth, I don't have a problem. If you get a bag of salad from a place and there's a frog in there or a bug. Do you know why? Because what you're asking for is something natural. And if things die naturally, like, if they're grabbing with a big claw, a big salad claw, they're tearing all the salad up, and there's a frog that was living in the forest. I don't get grossed out by that. That's actually extra.

[Amy]

Natural. So you still eat the lettuce comes from the.

[Bobby Bones]

Forest. Well, the.

[Morgan]

Garden. The.

[Bobby Bones]

Amazon. Okay, the.

[Amy]

Garden. Yeah. I mean, you're.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably.

[Amy]

You're. You're not going to eat it, though.

[Lunchbox]

Right? I.

[Eddie]

Would. I.

[Morgan]

Would.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Because that means it was very.

[Amy]

Natural. You're just like, I'll rinse it off. I'm not going to clean it anymore at the company. Like, I'm not going to do.

[Morgan]

Anything. Cause it is what it.

[Amy]

Is. But I don't know that I'm gonna be able to eat that particular.

[Bobby Bones]

Bag. It makes me really want to eat the bag more. I really was in the mood for salad until I knew how natural it.

[Amy]

Was. Yeah, I know, but the frog. Did it suffocate in the bag? Like, does it have little. Now frog.

[Morgan]

Germs? You.

[Amy]

Know? Cause, like, when living things die, excretions happen and.

[Bobby Bones]

Stuff. Or when they live, how would they live? That's right. Next.

[Caller]

One. I just wanted to commend Bobby on his handling of the Sean Ryan mistake, because I thought he was really commendable for not getting upset over the mistake in the first place, and in the second place, for going ahead with the interview. I'm almost more interested in hearing that. Anyway, I'm so proud of him and just wanted him to know that the listeners are behind him and support him and are really grateful that he handled it that way. So good job.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby. Do you know this? Okay, let me tell you the.

[Amy]

Story. I was looking around, like, why do I not know what's going.

[Bobby Bones]

On? Great. So on the Bobbycast, which, by the way, is going to Netflix in January, super excited about that. But on the Bobbycast, we were booking Sean Ryan. Now, Sean Ryan has a massive podcast, also lives here, where we live. He's a former Navy Seal. He was in the CIA monster. Five million subscribers on YouTube. And so I told Morgan one, I said, hey, let's book Sean Ryan. That would be awesome. And he lives here. So fun to talk to him. And so the next day, she's like, we got him. I said, well, that's quick. The guy's super famous, and his podcast is. It has millions and millions every episode. She's like, yeah, we got him. Great. We set in the calendar, made sure the time was good for both of us. I was very much looking forward to it. Mike D. Who produces the Bobby cast, is like, we got a little issue here. I was like, oh, man. He canceled. He goes, no, this is not the Same Sean Ryan. So they booked a Shawn Ryan that spells his name different. So Sean that I wanted was S H, A, W, N. The other Shawn Ryan is a musician here in town named, who just got a call going, hey, will you come do Bobby Bones podcast? And he's like, heck, yeah, I.

[Eddie]

Will. He's.

[Amy]

Pumped. So he's like, scan or.

[Bobby Bones]

Something. Yeah. So wrong one. And I didn't want this guy to.

[Amy]

Feel.

[Bobby Bones]

One. He already set aside time and he's not somebody we would have normally put on the show. He's very, very up and coming. Who knows if he'll ever be coming? Doesn't matter. And I thought, man, I don't want to do him wrong. Let's bring him up anyway. And so it doesn't come out on the Bobby cast till next week. But I just didn't want him to think we were jerking him around. And then I told him, I said, hey, you have to know how this happened. I don't want to have you up and you not know what's going on. So I told him, I said, we tried to book the other Sean Ryan, but would love to have you come up. And he did. He was homeless for a while. This version, we did it yesterday. It comes out next.

[Amy]

Week. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. He was homeless for a while, moved to Nashville, was in like a. He was like busking homeless with his brother and dad. So it ended up being good. But we tried to book Sean Ryan the Navy seal, and we got Sean Ryan the musician by.

[Amy]

Accident. Nice. Okay, now. Now her call makes.

[Lunchbox]

You. It's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be had. Send it into the.

[Bobby Bones]

Mailbag. Hello Bobby Bones. My girlfriend has this habit of reading my texts over my shoulder. Anytime I'm texting a friend answering a work message, she just leans over and watches. When I brought it up once, she laughed and said, I'm not snooping, I'm curious. I don't have anything to hide, but it still feels like my personal space gets invaded every time she does it. I don't want to make this a bigger deal than it is, but something about it feels off. So is it harmless curiosity or is it pointing toward a bigger trust or boundary issue? What do you think? Sign Phone Privacy Panic okay, so the first thing is, have you been busted in the past doing shady stuff on your phone? If the answer is no, let's go this way. It is a bit weird. If the answer is yes, then it Makes.

[Amy]

Sense. I feel like it's no. Unless we're not getting the full truth. I feel like he hasn't. Because otherwise, if you were to ask her that, she'd be like, well, you know, we have trust issues because of so and so. But she was like, oh, I'm just, you know, being.

[Bobby Bones]

Curious. So we're not going to say there's any trust issues. And that was my point, is that if we're gonna go, no, you haven't done anything shady. That's where we're gonna live for the answer here. Because if you have yes, then. Dude, come.

[Eddie]

On. That's.

[Bobby Bones]

It. Okay, so I would think that if someone is really looking at your phone all the time, they probably have stuff on their phone they don't want you to.

[Amy]

See. Oh, she's.

[Eddie]

Projecting.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. Because she really just could be.

[Amy]

Curious.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. But if she's always looking to see what's up, she's probably got stuff that's up. It doesn't have to be cheating, but there's probably stuff that's up. That would be where I would advise you to spend a little your time being. Having.

[Amy]

Awareness. What if in her last relationship there was trust.

[Bobby Bones]

Issues? Could.

[Lunchbox]

Be.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. Definitely could be. But that's. That's her not answering honestly. Then if we're using her answer. I'm just.

[Lunchbox]

Curious. I.

[Caller]

Know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah. So let's remove all the trust issues from. From you or her past. If she's just curious, she probably doesn't want you to.

[Amy]

See. Wow. My brain did not go there. Mine went to, wow, she's just a nosy.

[Bobby Bones]

Bee. And I don't think that hiding your phone automatically means you're up to something. For example, people used to tell my wife, bobby has his phone upside down all the time. Like, that's. That's weird. Do you know why I keep my phone upside down all the.

[Amy]

Time? So you don't get distracted by.

[Bobby Bones]

It. I'm gonna be doing the show. I keep it upside down all the time, unless I'm waiting for something because I don't want to get distracted. So when I'm home, I keep it down. If I'm talking to her, I keep it down. It's not because I'm hiding a text message from anybody. So there are certain parts of that that just aren't accurate. Like it's not one size fits all. Another thing is, there were times where I would hide my phone for my wife, especially if I had ordered her a present. Like once at Christmas, we went to Oklahoma for Christmas, and While we were gone, I had them build an outdoor fireplace for her, and I got an email about it as she was. As we were looking at an email together. It comes on the top. Hey, you're outdoor fire. And I'm like, she saw it. So there's also reasons to hide your phone. But, bro, I think she's. I don't say up to no good, but that's. That's Snoopy. And if she's trying to look here, she's probably gonna look at your phone. You're not around too.

[Amy]

Well. She's gonna need to know the code and.

[Bobby Bones]

Stuff. She probably knows about looking at you when you type it.

[Amy]

In. What if he has facial recognition.

[Bobby Bones]

But you still can't do the code? I guess you'd have to see the code, though, huh? I don't know. I don't like.

[Eddie]

It. You know those.

[Bobby Bones]

Filters. I don't like.

[Eddie]

It. You're seeing the ones where, like, you can't look at someone's phone because it, like, blacks it out. You have to be looking.

[Amy]

Right? Oh, yeah, Bobby has.

[Bobby Bones]

That. I didn't put a new one on whenever I got a new phone, but I did have one on, like, the last phone. It was.

[Eddie]

Awesome. Yeah, it's so.

[Amy]

Cool. Yeah, it's like a screen.

[Bobby Bones]

Protector. And people would be like, bobby has this on his phone. To my wife, she's like, dude.

[Amy]

He. Yeah, but it's also just for privacy, like, even on an.

[Bobby Bones]

Airplane. Yeah. Because I would be. I'd be mildly concerned if she's always looking over your shoulder. I don't think it's a red flag, but I think it's a pink flag, and you need to do some investigating. That'd be my answer there. I think she's up to no good if you don't know the truth. All right, there you have it. Close it up. It's time for the good news.

[Amy]

With producer.

[Eddie]

Eddie Michael Greeny. He's a New York City police detective, and he's on his way to work, where he sees this car just going fast down the shoulder. He's like, that's just weird that it's on the shoulder, going so quickly. Something must be wrong. So he pulls the car over in his cop car, and he gets out, and the dad's like, help me. Help me. My son. He's choking in the backseat. I'm trying to get to the hospital. So the detective opens the back door, gets the kid out of the car seat, starts pounding the kid's back, and whatever was lodged in its throat came Out. And the coolest part is there was also a nurse in traffic who saw everything go down and went to check on the baby, said, hey, everything's good to.

[Bobby Bones]

Go. Gotta be a tough decision to make to either drive your kid fast while they're choking or to just sit with the kid and try to get them to not choke, you.

[Eddie]

Know?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, I think about that. I don't know if I would draw. I would just probably keep just pounding the.

[Eddie]

Kid. Do you mean like the.

[Bobby Bones]

Dad? Yeah. Is it like a super.

[Eddie]

Baby? Did it say 8 month.

[Bobby Bones]

Old? Also? Not quite beyond just normal baby. Yes. Got it. Yeah. Good story. Good job. Good job, guy. And how it's weird how that worked.

[Eddie]

Out. Really weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There you go. That's what it's all.

[Ad Voice]

About. That.

[Eddie]

Was. Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones. All right. Some.

[Caller]

Voicemails. My dad and I just went out to eat and we used the gift card. We were wondering, do you guys tip on the entire amount of the bill before the gift card was used or the amount left over after the gift card was used? Love the.

[Bobby Bones]

Show. I know that. I understand the question, but you tip on what the bill was 100%. Like you do.

[Amy]

100%. No, I agree with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Fully. And you could be like, well, no, I got a gift card and I completely understand that, but the server does not make money off of the gift card that was purchased, so they would be working for free. So if you do go to a restaurant with a gift card, you tip on what the full bill.

[Eddie]

Is. Yeah, but you could tip with the gift card.

[Bobby Bones]

Right? You.

[Eddie]

Cannot. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

No. They cannot accept money from a gift card. That is not money that can be given to a.

[Eddie]

Server. Didn't realize.

[Bobby Bones]

That. Have you been doing.

[Eddie]

That? I thought I.

[Bobby Bones]

Did. Like, take an extra 10 off the gift card for yourself. It doesn't work like that. Yeah. So that's good to know. For the holidays. All right, next up, you guys.

[Caller]

Are based in Nashville, and I was wondering if you heard about the. That they had arrested somebody for inappropriate behavior with a client and is now charged fully because he admitted it. I know. Recently Abby was sent to go and get a massage. So I was just wondering if that was the same place that she had went to. And I would love to hear your.

[Lunchbox]

Thoughts.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks. I don't know about this story, and I don't even know if that means inappropriate.

[Amy]

Behavior. It says here a 37 year old man was.

[Bobby Bones]

Charged.

[Morgan]

Oof.

[Amy]

It's. It's.

[Bobby Bones]

Not. Yeah, keep it.

[Amy]

Clean. It's not good at all. Very the most inappropriate thing you could do during a.

[Bobby Bones]

Massage. Most. Chop a head.

[Eddie]

Off. No, that would.

[Bobby Bones]

Be. That would be like killing.

[Amy]

Somebody. Imagine what you would do physically during a.

[Bobby Bones]

Massage.

[Amy]

Okay. In a. At a spa. Oh, wow. We've been to this spa. 100, Bobby. I know you.

[Eddie]

Have. You.

[Amy]

Guys. We.

[Bobby Bones]

Have. Why did you keep saying 100? She's freaking me out. That's why. She's hit me with.

[Lunchbox]

100. I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Know. Jamie's very intense.

[Amy]

Today. This is terrible. That's.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy. Oh.

[Amy]

Wow. We've definitely been there. A lot of us probably.

[Bobby Bones]

Have. I'm reading the story now. I see why you didn't jump right into that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This did not happen to Abby or where Abby went. Abby had never had a massage, I think is the crazy part of the story. Ever. She had one and she hated it because the person was creepy. Right. So we had her. Abby. We had you. Stop thinking about that.

[Caller]

One.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. But then you liked it once. You went the second time. Yeah, it was awesome. It's.

[Eddie]

Great. But now she heard the story and it's freaked out.

[Bobby Bones]

Again. Well, you can't judge every based off of one.

[Morgan]

Bad.

[Amy]

Yeah. And even I'm reading this and knowing the spot, like, I would still. Unfortunately, for this spot, I would still. I've had wonderful experiences at this spa, and they're probably wonderful people that work there. He just was. Somehow snuck his way in and is a terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Human.

[Morgan]

Morgan. I go.

[Amy]

Here. Yes, frequently. That's what I'm.

[Eddie]

Saying. You guys know this.

[Amy]

Guy? No, I never have. I've had guy masseuses, but, I mean, I've.

[Bobby Bones]

Never. There's no picture of the guy, though, is.

[Amy]

There? There's.

[Bobby Bones]

His. Yeah. Look him up. See if Morgan recognizes the guy. Is that him? You ever had this guy.

[Caller]

Morgan? Where's a.

[Bobby Bones]

Photo? Well, walk over to Mike's.

[Morgan]

Screen.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. I mean, he did. Yeah, he, like, did bad, bad.

[Eddie]

Stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

No. You don't know that.

[Amy]

Guy? Just. No, I've never had him before, but I have had male masse and, like, I've had, I guess, male providers.

[Bobby Bones]

There. Yeah, I don't do. I don't do male.

[Eddie]

Masseuses.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah. I do male physical therapists, and they basically do the same thing, just.

[Eddie]

Harder. Depends on what they're working.

[Bobby Bones]

On. Yeah, I guess it's just a word. Like, I want a dude to give me physical.

[Eddie]

Therapy. Not a.

[Bobby Bones]

Massage. Not a massage. Even though it's the same thing. Wow. That's crazy. That was not Abby's Situation or experience. Give me another voicemail. My name is Joan from.

[Caller]

Minnesota. My birthday is next to Tuesday, December 23rd, and I would love nothing more than to hear Amy scream a joke. That was the funniest thing I had ever heard, and I can't stop thinking about it. Have a great day and a merry.

[Lunchbox]

Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Lucky for you, your vocal cords are already worn from the song we sang earlier. And what we do is Amy screams the joke and then screams the answer. And it is funny. But then she had a commission.

[Eddie]

For a while because she's screaming so.

[Bobby Bones]

Loud. Screaming the.

[Morgan]

Joke.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You feel okay? Can you give us.

[Amy]

100%? Yeah. Is there. Does she. Is there a particular theme for her.

[Bobby Bones]

Birthday? Let's do Christmas. What sucks for this person, Joan from Minnesota, is her birthday's on December 23rd. You know, she just gets lumped in with.

[Eddie]

Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah, we're gonna scream the heck out of this joke for you. Okay. You.

[Morgan]

Good?

[Bobby Bones]

Mm. Ray, do you have the scream A joke. Yep. All right, get.

[Lunchbox]

It. Amy yells a joke. Amy yells a joke. Amy has a joke to yell to.

[Amy]

You. What do you call Santa when he takes a.

[Bobby Bones]

Break? You have to wait till the. How many times we done.

[Lunchbox]

That? Oh, my.

[Eddie]

Good. Well, we haven't done.

[Bobby Bones]

It. You were not focused.

[Amy]

100. Yes, I.

[Lunchbox]

Am. You gotta.

[Bobby Bones]

Get. Let the music finish. All right, here we.

[Lunchbox]

Go. Amy yells a joke. Amy yells a joke. Amy has a joke to yell to.

[Amy]

You. What do you get if you deep fry.

[Eddie]

Santa?

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Amy]

What? Crisp.

[Bobby Bones]

Kringle. Crisp Kringle. Got.

[Lunchbox]

It. Amy yells a joke. Amy yells a joke. Amy has a joke to yell to.

[Bobby Bones]

You. Little clunky, but we got there. It was like earlier when Amy was doing the song and she jumped on at number two. It gave me number one. I know your thoughts already. Out of here. You have.

[Amy]

Senioritis. No, not at all. I think I.

[Morgan]

Just.

[Amy]

We. We don't yell the joke a lot. I thought. I thought if I overlapped over the music. It's like a.

[Bobby Bones]

Vibe. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Vibes are and.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones. So a porch pirate stole a woman's cat. And not just a porch pirate. An Amazon delivery driver dropped off a package and took the.

[Amy]

Cat. Just like the cat. And took the.

[Bobby Bones]

Cat. The cat. Porch pirate was caught on camera. Here's the cat's owner talking about what her camera.

[Amy]

Caught. I thought he was just petting her for a second. I had to rewatch it a.

[Morgan]

Couple of times because it is hard to see. It's dark. Annie doesn't carry her very Nicely. And I see her little tail.

[Amy]

And I'm like, oh, my God. I couldn't believe what I was.

[Bobby Bones]

Seeing. So she reported to Amazon. They said they're investigating it. She reported to police, but they told her it could take weeks or months before they have time to look into it. Yeah, this is where you let vigilantes do it. You put the video up. Who is this? Also, why still somebody's.

[Amy]

Cat. Yeah. Did he think it was a.

[Bobby Bones]

Stray? It was on her porch. Who thinks it's a stray.

[Amy]

Porch? I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Know. You know, it is a one way ticket to at double hockey.

[Eddie]

Stick. Straight.

[Bobby Bones]

Down. Yeah. You steal somebody's pet, maybe she.

[Amy]

Puts it out there, he returns.

[Bobby Bones]

It. But that's from ABC7 out of shame or.

[Amy]

What? She's like, hey, no questions asked.

[Bobby Bones]

Just, oh, I got questions. Why'd you steal my cat.

[Eddie]

Loser? Yeah, but you tell them that. So they show.

[Bobby Bones]

Up. But then I ask when they show up, no questions asked, and they show up. Here you go. No questions. I got a question. How dare you? That's what I would say. How dare.

[Amy]

You? Next up, what I was just thinking and now the story in my head, he's like, sorry, I thought it was a straight. My little girl is asking for a cat for.

[Eddie]

Christmas. Oh, what do you do.

[Bobby Bones]

Then? You get your cat back. That's what you.

[Lunchbox]

Do. There's.

[Bobby Bones]

No. What do you do then? Oh, you don't steal someone's cat from a porch. You don't steal a cat from a.

[Amy]

Porch. I know you don't, but then he knows where you.

[Bobby Bones]

Live. A woman asked Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay, to send a video message for her son's wedding. And people didn't think he'd send the video message, but he did, kind of. He showed.

[Amy]

Up. He showed up at the.

[Bobby Bones]

Wedding?

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's.

[Bobby Bones]

Crazy. Isn't that insane? The groom's mother asked the singer for a video message to be played at the wedding. And he went one better. He showed up and the only people that knew were the groom's parents. Surprise guests saw him walk into the wedding venue wearing a white beanie hat to perform and he did All My Love. At the piano, the couple danced All My Love. I don't know. Is that a Beatles.

[Eddie]

Song? I mean, there is a Beatles.

[Bobby Bones]

Song. Yeah. I wonder. It's such a generic title, though. I wonder if it's that song. Guest took a while to notice it was actually him. But he didn't want to ruin our wedding day, so he asked loads of questions. Once he had gone and he went up, just played and they danced. That's crazy. Chris Martin shows up at your wedding and played. I did say it was controversial. I think Chris Martin's one of the best lead singers of all.

[Amy]

Time. Why is it controversial of all.

[Bobby Bones]

Time? Because I was with music nerds, and they were like, no way. He's lame. I'm like, no way. He's one of the greatest.

[Lunchbox]

Ever. What makes him lame? Like, why would he be.

[Bobby Bones]

Lame? Yeah, why would he be lame?

[Eddie]

Eddie. No, I was just saying all time, like. I mean, everybody likes Chris Martin. Coldplay. But best singer of all.

[Bobby Bones]

Time. Coldplay gets a bad rap as being, like, cliche and cheesy. I don't think.

[Amy]

So. I like.

[Bobby Bones]

Them. Yeah, me too. I don't like the endemic stuff that.

[Eddie]

Big. That's what I.

[Bobby Bones]

Like. I like the piano. Like to make you cry, like, all my life, all my love. I don't know what he played there, but that'd be crazy if he walked into a wedding. There's another story, too. Harvard researchers say the amount of time that you stare at your spouse is how much you love them. Well, you can just say your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, Partner.

[Eddie]

Partner.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy. Yeah, Partner.

[Amy]

Amy. Partner. How long you stare at.

[Bobby Bones]

Them? When researchers study couples and discover that couples who are deeply in love look at each other about 75% of the time while talking and are slower to look away when someone comes into the conversation. In normal conversation, people look at each other around 40% of the time, but you look at them more while they're talking. So it's possible to tell how in love people are by measuring the amount of time they spend looking at each other. This is from a book by Tracy Cox called Super Flirt. And she uses the Harvard research in this book, which I guess is just maintained eye contact. Because I can see if you're with someone a long time, you probably talk and look.

[Amy]

Around. Yeah. Or don't even pay.

[Lunchbox]

Attention.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You just yell from the other room. Yell. Just. Just getting out. Hello. And you just yell stuff from. But that's interesting. You should. I wonder if it would be weird if today I went home and I just stared at my wife eyeball to eyeball for 100 of the time while she's talking. While we're talking to each other. I wonder if she would even.

[Eddie]

Notice. It's worth a.

[Bobby Bones]

Shot. If I'm talking to her, she's talking to me. I am up puked.

[Amy]

Puke. Obviously, she won't notice because you're always looking at her because you're so in.

[Bobby Bones]

Love. That's it. I'm already.

[Eddie]

There. You don't.

[Lunchbox]

With Bobby, tell me something.

[Bobby Bones]

Good. While driving home from spending Thanksgiving with her mom. She's 18 years old. Her name's Ebony. She says her truck started to fishtail near Tahqua, Oklahoma. The vehicle slid into a ditch. The vehicle caught fire as she struggled to get out. Jesse caught her and his wife drove up on the wreck. Jesse rushed to the truck, pulls her out. The teen said she felt instantly safe and she became weak. Moments later, they carried Ebony to his car, drove her to the hospital for care, and. And she's a little bruised, but otherwise okay. And had he not been right there at that time, who knows what would have happened? So big shout out to Jesse Cotter and his wife who came up on the wreck. He runs down trucks on fire, pulls her out. It's like a movie. News on six with that story. What a great story. That is what it's all.

[Ad Voice]

About. That.

[Lunchbox]

Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Lakeland, Florida. Three people were printing fake money, and they're like, how can we make this work? Got an idea. So they got kids from the neighborhood, drove them to the toy store and said, guys, go in, buy one toy, bring us the change. So they did this over and over. Then they started reviewing surveillance cameras, saw the car they were getting out of, track the license plate, got.

[Bobby Bones]

Them. They didn't go to a different.

[Ad Voice]

Store?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Toy store with.

[Lunchbox]

Kids. Same.

[Bobby Bones]

Store. They probably got away with.

[Eddie]

It. So the kids, they get in trouble at.

[Bobby Bones]

All? Kids? I don't know their.

[Amy]

Kids. Yeah, I don't think you can get the kids in.

[Bobby Bones]

Trouble. And also, the kids, if they go to court, they're like, your honor, we're.

[Amy]

Kids. Yeah, we gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

Do. We're kids. We didn't know. Yeah, it's just dumb. They're dumb because they kept going to the same.

[Amy]

Place. Yeah, you need to.

[Bobby Bones]

Diversify. Also, movie money is how to do it. That stuff is so.

[Eddie]

Real. It looks.

[Bobby Bones]

So. It looks so real. Then you don't even look if I don't.

[Eddie]

Know. The only thing is, it says in props we trust instead of in.

[Bobby Bones]

God. Who looks at.

[Lunchbox]

That? No.

[Amy]

No. I think cashiers are trained to look.

[Lunchbox]

Now. Well, if it's $100 bill. Yes. But if it's a 20, you just like, I'll put in the.

[Bobby Bones]

Till. You probably think and props. We trust. I guess they change the money.

[Lunchbox]

Again. Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the.

[Bobby Bones]

Day. You're gonna be able to buy these remote controlled spy.

[Amy]

Pigeons. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. And nobody's gonna know because we can tell if a drone's flying over our house. Anybody can. Even though they do fly pretty high. But these pigeons, they look exactly like pigeons. And also, if they're not right in front of you, they're just in the air. They just look exactly like pigeons. So a company is about to put out these remote controlled spy pigeons, complete with GPS cameras, tiny solar power backpacks that you can't even really.

[Amy]

See. The pigeon is wearing a.

[Bobby Bones]

Backpack. It's built into the.

[Amy]

Body. I know you don't see it. I just am picturing, like, how cute is.

[Bobby Bones]

That? Operators can steer the PJN1 bio drone.

[Amy]

Pigeons. Oh, bio.

[Eddie]

Drone. What does that.

[Amy]

Mean? Dude, this just sounds.

[Bobby Bones]

Legit. This is.

[Eddie]

Crazy. So does it flap its wings like a.

[Bobby Bones]

Pigeon? So let me tell you two things. There are two versions of this. There is the fake pigeons that you can buy, or they have now started to develop the pigeons. Normal birds that have cameras built that, like, they've inserted them into actual.

[Eddie]

Birds. Oh, like real.

[Bobby Bones]

Birds. So it's two. Yeah. And you can also steer. Much more expensive, I would think. But also, these pigeons, you can kind of tell them where to live, and they live normal lives while quietly collecting.

[Eddie]

Videos. Not.

[Bobby Bones]

Good. You talk about a surveillance state, everybody. Yeah, we have no idea. It's from Motor Biscuit. Is that story. But pigeons, that can be completely controlled, both fake ones and real ones. And you can fly over people's houses. You probably land in their backyard. They have no idea it's a bird. You can watch whatever. Peeping Tom like crazy. Yeah, but that's your.

[Eddie]

Thing. How are they going to let that. Like, that can't be legal, right to have one of.

[Bobby Bones]

Those? How are you gonna find that people have it? Yes. People have illegal things all the time.

[Amy]

What? Bio drone pigeons are.

[Bobby Bones]

Real? Those are the real.

[Amy]

Ones. Were developed by a Russian neurotechnology.

[Bobby Bones]

Company. Yeah. Have you not seen the Las Vegas when they do the CES with the birds that you can fly and they all.

[Amy]

Have. Nah, it's not my.

[Bobby Bones]

Algorithm. No, it's.

[Eddie]

Mine. Consumer electronic. Yeah, like seminar, show.

[Amy]

Whatever. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Conference.

[Amy]

Yes. Oh.

[Eddie]

Expo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Okay, now you're just saying words of A collection of.

[Amy]

People? No, no. I've gone to Vegas for an expo.

[Bobby Bones]

Before. What do you think about a.

[Lunchbox]

Shaman?

[Amy]

Little. It's interesting to me. But also I approach with caution because I've heard some pretty crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Experiences. A self proclaimed shaman convinced her victims that their jewelry was.

[Morgan]

Cursed. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Gosh. And required an.

[Amy]

Exorcism. An exorcism because of the.

[Bobby Bones]

Jewelry? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. She's like, I would need to take this.

[Lunchbox]

Away. This is.

[Bobby Bones]

Cursed. I should take this away from you. Right.

[Amy]

Right. This is why you proceed with.

[Bobby Bones]

Caution. 44 years old, she posed as a shaman. Can't you just say you're a.

[Amy]

Shaman? I think.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Like, I don't think that's like an official degree you get. Is.

[Amy]

It?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. To defraud her victims, convince them to part with their jewelry because it was cursed and only brought them misfortune. You know, she was doing them a solid by taking it from them. Your jewelry is cursed. I'll take it and I'll hold the cursed jewelry. But then she. What they would do is they would go look for rich people on the streets and she would say, hey, I will get rid of the evil spirits in your jewelry for a fee. So that's what they did. According to the Telegraph, one victim paid her over $673,000. Another woman paid $65,000 to get rid of an illness. And she died of her illness. The authorities believe she obtained more than $11 million from their victims in total. That's so much money, man. I wonder what jewels they got, what jewelry they got. You know, the first time it worked, they had this woman and her daughter was working with her too. They had to be like, can you believe.

[Eddie]

This? It's actually.

[Bobby Bones]

Working. We.

[Morgan]

Can'T.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. Can you believe they're giving us this money? That has to be a shocking thing. That's from Oddity.

[Amy]

Central. You know, they're like, it's very important when you show up for your appointment, wear all of your nicest.

[Bobby Bones]

Jewels. We'll tell you which ones have the demons inside of them. That's it. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. Bobby Boom. Come on.
