Release Date: January 23, 2025

---

1. A Fight on the Basketball Court

The episode kicks off with host Bobby Bones and co-host Eddie delving into a dramatic incident from Eddie's recent basketball game. Eddie recounts a tense moment where a physical altercation nearly escalated into violence:

[02:33] Eddie: “...the kid on the other team who was humongous, he was two times bigger than our biggest player, and he lets go the ball and swings a punch, full swing, misses our kid by an inch. Like, if he would have made contact for sure, 100%, our kid would have been knocked out.”

Bobby and the co-hosts discuss the referees' decision to penalize both players by sidelining them for five minutes instead of ejecting the aggressor. This leads to a conversation about appropriate disciplinary actions in youth sports:

[04:09] Eddie: “The controversy in my mind was, how do you let that kid stay in the game? Like, he should have just immediately been ejected.”

Amy, another co-host, adds her perspective, emphasizing the need for strict consequences to deter future aggression:

[04:33] Amy: “If your takeaway from that is like, oh, if I punch somebody and then I just get to sit out for five minutes and I play again, like, what's gonna keep him from punching again?”

The discussion highlights the importance of fostering sportsmanship and safety in youth athletics, questioning the effectiveness of minor penalties in preventing serious misconduct.

2. Relationship Woes: Handling Suspicion Over Guys Nights

Transitioning from sports, Bobby addresses a listener's dilemma about his girlfriend’s growing suspicion when he suggests having a guys night out. The listener’s concern is:

[07:08] Bobby Bones: “...when I told her that it would be a great opportunity for me to get together with some of the guys for a guys night, her mood completely changed... she's implying that I'm hiding something.”

Amy offers insightful advice, exploring potential underlying reasons for the girlfriend's behavior:

[08:48] Amy: “Does she have any experience from a past relationship where a guy's weekend went wrong? So that's just triggering to her.”

The conversation delves into trust dynamics in relationships, suggesting that Bobby investigate past behaviors or experiences that might be fueling his girlfriend's suspicions. They discuss strategies to rebuild trust or assess whether the issue stems from jealousy or external factors.

3. Good News: Narrow Escape from a Train Collision

The “Good News” segment brings a heart-pounding story from producer Ed about Chris B. and Keem Young's near-miss with a train:

[20:24] Eddie: “...they pull up to a railroad track, and there's already a semi truck across the track. So they just pull up behind it... They get out of the truck, and they run. And they're five seconds away of getting smashed. And as soon as they get out there’s video of it.”

Bobby emphasizes the gravity of the situation, marveling at their quick thinking:

[21:45] Bobby Bones: “...five seconds, if they would have stayed in the truck, boom, they wouldn't have been around.”

The trio reflects on the importance of staying calm under pressure and the value of life-saving instincts, concluding with relief that no one was hurt.

4. The Sword in the Stone Challenge: Who Will Be the Show's Leader?

In a playful yet competitive segment, Bobby introduces the “Sword in the Stone” challenge, symbolizing a quest to determine the show's leader. The challenge involves opening a particularly stubborn jar, representing the mythical sword embedded in stone:

[22:37] Bobby Bones: “...which guy can open this and be the rightful king of the Bobby Bones Show?”

Participants take turns attempting to open the jar, employing various techniques. Despite multiple efforts, the jar remains unyielding until Scuba Steve triumphs using a combination of strength and ingenuity:

[27:31] Bobby Bones: “We are not. I'm sad I never got a chance. But you know what? I didn't deserve a chance... All hail Scuba Steve.”

This segment underscores teamwork, determination, and a humorous exploration of leadership within the group.

5. Amy’s Pile of Stories: Winter Tips and Password Security

Amy shares a collection of practical tips and anecdotes, starting with a USA Today list on items not to leave in cars during freezing temperatures:

[15:47] Amy: “Kids, pets, seniors. They're more vulnerable to cold weather... you may not want to leave them in if you're running in to do an errand.”

She continues with essential password security advice, emphasizing the dangers of using weak passwords:

[17:22] Amy: “These [weak passwords] take less than one second to crack, and you wouldn't go to bed at night with your doors unlocked.”

Amy also touches on vision boards and manifestation, discussing how focused thoughts can influence perception and outcomes:

[36:25] Amy: “...if we hold a thought for 17 seconds, that's when things start to manifest... positive thoughts, you're attracting more positive around you.”

Bobby adds his perspective, blending practical advice with a touch of skepticism:

[37:00] Bobby Bones: “...you are your environment. The people you surround yourself with, that's who you're going to be.”

6. Good News Redux: Returning Lost War Medals

The episode wraps up with another uplifting “Good News” story about Sandy from Michigan who discovers a collection of World War II medals mistakenly delivered to her address:

[41:12] Bobby Bones: “...she goes and finds a group on social media... they ended up finding the relatives of the person because the person was not alive anymore.”

This story highlights the power of community and the effort to honor and return valuable family heirlooms, reinforcing themes of kindness and responsibility.

[Eddie]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go. Welcome to Thursday's show Morning Studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not coaching your kids, right?

[Eddie]

I'm not coaching.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's not coach anymore. But you go.

[Eddie]

I used to be the Coach. But now I'm just the dad that kind of helps out if you need me.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you. Do you. Are you adding input, though? They don't. They don't ask for.

[Eddie]

No, no. They always just say, like, what do you think, Coach Eddie? And then I kind of tell them.

[Bobby Bones]

I still call Coach Eddie absolute.

[Eddie]

Absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

What happened at your last game?

[Eddie]

Bizarre. So it was a game, and these two players, one on our team and one on the other team, were fighting for the ball. It was like a jump ball, right? They both had the ball, and they're both pulling and tugging. And then finally the kid on the other team who was humongous, he was two times bigger than our biggest player, and he lets go the ball and swings a punch, full swing, misses our kid by an inch. Like, if he would have made contact for sure, 100%, our kid would have been knocked out. And the refs start blowing the whistle, and they like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then, you know, it's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Eddie]

So at that point, it's quiet. And the refs looks at both kids, says, calm down. You calm down, everybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone threw a. Like, someone actually tried to throw a punch.

[Eddie]

Dude, it was a full swing punch. A haymaker. And then he said. Then the ref says, both of you guys are out for five minutes. And he sits both of them out. And the kid on our team's like, what did I do? I was fighting for a jump ball, and he just sat him out. And both players got to play again. All us parents were shocked that this kid was able to play the rest of the game.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm surprised no parents ran on the court once. A fist was thrown.

[Eddie]

Yeah, nobody ran on the court.

[Amy]

Yeah, you think?

[Bobby Bones]

So the parents of the big kid, did you see them?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

How are they acting? Okay.

[Eddie]

So you don't kind of hear the dad just being like, hey, stop that.

[Bobby Bones]

So was he coming down on his son in a negative way?

[Eddie]

Just like that, though. Like, stop that. But he didn't run down to the court or anything to talk to his kid or anything.

[Bobby Bones]

So what was the controversy in your mind?

[Eddie]

The controversy in my mind was, how do you let that kid stay in the game? Like, he should have just immediately been ejected. Parents take him home, he's no longer playing this game, and then you can figure out what he's going to do for the rest of the season.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I agree with that. What's the age of the kid?

[Eddie]

11.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're kind of smart at basketball by 11, 12. Like, that's when you first Start getting smart at basketball where the goals are now. 10ft.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. It's full on basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I'm just thinking, like, if you. If your takeaway from that is like, oh, if I punch somebody and then I just get to sit out for five minutes and I play again, like, what's gonna keep him from punching again?

[Bobby Bones]

Now, he didn't hit him, but it doesn't matter if you throw a punch.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You should be ejected immediately.

[Eddie]

It was a punch that would have knocked this kid out, like, for two minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

And it wasn't. It wasn't your kid?

[Eddie]

No, it wasn't my kid.

[Bobby Bones]

What if it would have been your kid?

[Eddie]

I would have ran on the court just instantly. I would have ran the court and just pulled my kid and maybe even taking my kid home. Like, I don't do that. I want to play with the rest.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't do that. Don't do that. That's wimpy. Wimpy.

[Amy]

Wait, because your kid, though. Wait, are you asking him if he's.

[Eddie]

No, no. The one that almost got hit, if.

[Bobby Bones]

His kid would have got hit. You don't grab your kid and take him off.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You make sure he's okay, and you're like, all right. Sometimes in life, adversity happens. Pain happens. Now get back out there and play.

[Amy]

Unless you're injured, you didn't do anything wrong, so let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a question, too. Are you hurt or are you injured? If he's hurt. Okay, well, take a minute and then you get back out there. If you're injured, you can't go back out there.

[Eddie]

Because the kid on our team that almost got hit, he, like, emotionally, I don't think even could have played. He was just crying and very upset.

[Bobby Bones]

Surprised they didn't eject the kid. Lunchbox. If you were there and that have been your kid who was swinging, what would you have done?

[Eddie]

Nothing. I let the ref handle it.

[Bobby Bones]

What if the ref would have said, everybody stays in the game? Fine with me. What if you'd have been the other way and your kid was the one to get swung at? I yelled at the ref, hey, that.

[Eddie]

Guy needs to be out of here. But maybe the ref didn't see it. We all saw it. But we all saw it.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe he didn't see the swing.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. We all saw it because the. Once they were fighting for the ball, all attention was on them.

[Bobby Bones]

That swing after, like, nine, you go home at nine, you get pulled out of the game, and you probably watch the rest of the game. Without going back in the game. But as a young child in sports you have to learn lessons differently. Like you don't get to play anymore and you're out of this game, but you have to sit here and watch. They go home at 11.

[Eddie]

What do you think about the rest of the season?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. I think if it's a second offense, a third offense, then you're talking about being suspended for a season. His last name wasn't like Jonathan Draymond Green, right? It wasn't anything like that.

[Eddie]

That was a swing like that.

[Bobby Bones]

That was his dad or anything like that. Dang, that's crazy. I can see why parents would get all flipped out over that kind of stuff.

[Eddie]

It was bizarre. I've done basketball for a lot of years and I've never seen that.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a feeling you're trying to coach while you're there. And you're not even there for sure. Even called yourself Coach Eddie. I know.

[Eddie]

No, that's what they call me.

[Bobby Bones]

Hello, Bobby Bones. This weekend my girlfriend has told me she's going out for a girls night. It's on Saturday. Great for her. Glad she's doing it. Things turned backward though. When I told her that it would be a great opportunity for me to get together with some of the guys for a guys night, her mood completely changed. Now she wants to know where we'll be going, exactly what we'll be doing and who I'll be doing it with. I told her we haven't decided on anything yet, but that doesn't seem to be good enough. Now she's implying that I'm hiding something. The whole thing has taken me a bit by surprise and I've never seen this side of her. How much of a problem is this? How do I defuse it? Signed guy that wants a guy's night out. Okay, there are a couple things that I would ask yourself first. Have you done anything to make her question you? If that answer is yes, then this makes sense. So if in the past you've lied to her about going somewhere you cheated on, or if any of that has happened and. And the answer is yes, this makes sense. And you got to build your trust back. Now, if you've selected no, where none of that has happened, there's a couple other things we need to evaluate here. People that are often accusatory, especially in a relationship, are often hiding things themselves. So if you've done nothing to be like, ah, yeah, I messed up, I gotta build my trust back. She's questioning you because she's probably up to no good. That could be one of the things. It's like in a relationship, somebody's like, you're cheating, and you're not. They're probably cheating. So that is one of the elements in play Number two is. Well, I'll go to you, Amy, before I give you all three of my theories.

[Amy]

Well, I was thinking, does she have any experience from a past relationship where a guy's weekend went wrong?

[Bobby Bones]

Great point. Great point.

[Amy]

So that's just triggering to her. So you need to just understand that for a second.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

And she may not be in her rational brain, but she can get there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay. So if you find the root of it, that. That. Here's the thing about that. That hurts a guy's feelings. Let's say that you and I are together, Amy, and you're mad at me because I'm going out, and I'm like, oh, why are you. Why are you mad? And you're like, well, Eddie. You, like, Eddie cheated on me back in the day. Talking about yourself. Then I'm like, why do you still care about Eddie?

[Amy]

No, it's not about caring about Eddie. It's. My nervous system is recognizing a familiar behavior, and I'm immediately taken back to those feelings. And so what I have to do is come to the present that I don't have any trust issues with you, and I need to rewire my brain towards trust and my nervous system giving my nervous system that experience for a guy's weekend to go positive. So therefore, I have that as a memory instead of the negative.

[Bobby Bones]

So the. These are basically the same thing. So number one, either she's cheating on you, or someone cheated on her in the past and she's feeling that. Right. The other one is your friends are idiots and they've done idiotic things because.

[Amy]

She wants to know who you're going to be with.

[Bobby Bones]

And if that's the case, think about your friends that you're going out with. If one of them is, like a troublemaking idiot who, like, goes to, you know, the clubs where people. You gotta go to her and be like, I know he's a moron, but we're gonna make sure he. That we're not moronic like that. So I would think it would be one of those three things.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're gonna have to find out where you are. It's like that chart where it's like, if it's yes, you go this way, if it's no. So if yes, you've done something shady in the past, that's why? She has the right to feel that way until you can earn your trust back. If. No. Well, why is she feeling this way? Is it because she has or she is and is worried about it? 2. Like Amy said someone did to her in the past. Or three. You have idiot friends. Or three and a half. You're also an idiot buddy. What if also, like, you're. You're the guy. You're that guy that we're talking about, and you go out and you make bad decisions, not even cheating, but like, you drink too much. You smoke too much. Too much.

[Amy]

Yeah. Good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Good luck. If for it's none of those. You got you. You have to do a relationship reset on situations like this because this is not a healthy place and it's going to be hard for you guys to move forward in a healthy way.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because that's just jealousy. But there's a. It's coming from a place. This is manifesting itself from somewhere in her. You got to figure out where that is and what that is.

[Amy]

Oh, I just thought of another option.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Her dad went ay on a guy's night.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, no, that's. That's too much. That's too much. Her dad. Her dad cheated on her mom, so now she.

[Amy]

On a guy's night. Oh, no. Guys weekend. And then it ruined her childhood. I'm just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'll give you. There's lots of 3C on that one.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's Amy's pile of stories.

[Amy]

It's cold out a lot of places in the country, so USA Today list of things you should never leave in your car when it's below freezing.

[Bobby Bones]

A baby?

[Amy]

Well, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

A dog.

[Amy]

Feel like that's a given. Loved ones does make the list.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, really? I was just kidding.

[Amy]

Yeah. Kids, pets, seniors. They're more vulnerable to cold weather. So even if it's a short amount of time is what they're referring to. You may not want to leave them in if you're running in to do an errand. And it may take longer than you think.

[Bobby Bones]

Seniors, I left my toast in my car, like 30 minutes. I forgot it. I came back and it was not as warm and delicious as it was. Yeah. Is that on there? My toast.

[Amy]

But other food items, eggs. Don't le them in the car after you get groceries. If they freeze, the shells crack and then they're not safe to eat.

[Bobby Bones]

Would not have thought that we had some. What's the app we used for groceries? Yeah, Instacart. And my wife was like, hey, get the groceries in my head. I'm like, I'll get them like 20 minutes. It's cold outside. They're not going to spoil, right? Eggs were in there. Never checked them.

[Amy]

Yeah, better check them. Same thing with canned food because the cold can make the food inside expand and it causes tiny cracks where bacteria gets in.

[Bobby Bones]

That has to be overnight or something, right?

[Amy]

Well, yeah. I mean, if it gets below freezing in there and swells up.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Aerosol cans, they can explode if they get too cold.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, my hair sprays outside right now. Guys, I gotta go.

[Amy]

Electronics, like phones, computers, tablets, they don't work if they get too cold. And lastly, medication, because some of them are unusable if it gets too cold. So when in doubt, toss frozen meds.

[Bobby Bones]

When in doubt, bring your Viagra in from the barn for them. In the barn? Yes.

[Amy]

All right, so if your password is on this list, change it now because this is equal to leaving your door unlocked.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it all 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. ABCDEFG, JKL, semicolon. All those?

[Amy]

Yeah. Are those yours?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but those were the ones that people that are lazy do.

[Amy]

I know. But people still have these. And yes, it's like going to bed at night. This is from Forbes. They all these take less than one second to crack, and you wouldn't go to bed at night with your doors unlocked.

[Bobby Bones]

I disagree. I believe if I try to crack it, it would take more than one second because for sure I typo abcdefg. But I guess if it's someone with a, you know, like a system, a computer, when they're like, they know what they're doing. Yeah, just like hack count and they're.

[Amy]

Going, okay, secret is on the list.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, oh, the same of my women's deodorant I have that I wear every morning.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

Look at this.

[Bobby Bones]

I got my secret. It's secret powder, fresh ph balance for a woman.

[Amy]

And maybe if you type out all of that, you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good point.

[Amy]

Secret, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Password, 1, 2, 3, four, five. And then ABC, 1, 2, 3.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good song, though. That's a good song, though. Yeah.

[Amy]

So change your passwords, people. And then if you're trying to eat more vegetables or you want to get your kids to eat more vegg. Veggies. This whole study was done where researchers spent 20 minutes reading kids fairy tales that involved magical fruits and veggies. And then the hero was either healed or saved because they ate these magical fruits and veggies. And then after the storytelling was done, they offered kids fruit, vegetables, cake, or cookies. What do you think they chose?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sure the vegetables. Yeah, I'm sure. But this same strategy is done to us on a much higher level. Like what with social media, news, any sort of misinformation, disinformation. It's the same thing. Tell us a story about something, give us some information, and we'll be drawn. 20 minutes, we'll be drawn to it, but not vegetables.

[Eddie]

We won't fall for that.

[Amy]

No, I mean, I might.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm be honest with you. I thought forever, if you ate spinach. You got big muscles like Popeyes.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought, too, that you ate carrots. It helped your eyesight. But why that happened is back in Maybe World War II, possibly World War I, I believe it was the British. You'd have to find out which. But the whole thing was they were trying to hide the fact that they had technology, they could see at night. So they just started the hey, if you eat carrots, you get better vision. To actually explain why they were doing better wartime shooting.

[Amy]

Because they're eating carrots.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. That's the whole thing.

[Amy]

We're good. We're just eating carrots.

[Bobby Bones]

That was that. That literally was it.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's crazy.

[Amy]

There's got to be a vitamin in there that helps your eyes, though, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Eating carrots does not help improve vision. I thought that forever.

[Amy]

Don't ruin this for me.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's what. That's the root of it. And again, I don't have the exact story, but it comes from one of the world wars where there was a certain country that started to say, if you eat carrots, it will help your vision. But why? They were saying that because they claim to eat a bunch of carrots. They were just hiding. That they had the technology to see at night.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy]

They're like, don't try to figure out.

[Bobby Bones]

They're like, it's just carrots. While we're winning the war, guys. Eat more carrots. Maybe win World War three. Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay. I'm Amy. That's my pile.

[Bobby Bones]

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the Good News with producer Ed.

[Eddie]

This is straight out of a movie. It was a foggy morning in Washington state, and Chris B. And our Keem Young are driving in a semi truck, and they pull up to a railroad track, and there's already a semi truck across the track. So they just pull up behind it. They look over to the right. Here comes the train. But it's foggy, so all they see is a light. They don't know how close it is until the passenger guy goes, dude, it's so close. And they get out of the truck, and they run. And they're five seconds away of getting smashed. And as soon as they get outbones, there's video of it. The train comes and smashes the truck.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I see. I need you to explain this to me, though, because, 1. It sounded like a tugboat when you were doing the sound.

[Eddie]

Well, I was trying to do a train, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. So how do they end up on the tracks. Meaning the truck ahead of them was off the tracks.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it was stopped. It was waiting on a light. At a light.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they got up to it, and then they couldn't back up because there was somebody behind them.

[Eddie]

There were people behind them at that point. And then they really didn't realize how close the. The train was until they realized it was very close. And, yeah, five seconds, if they would have stayed in the truck, boom, they wouldn't have been around.

[Bobby Bones]

And if it were me, I'd have been like, why am I getting out of the truck? There's a tugboat coming. I would have heard that.

[Eddie]

And it was an Amtrak. So, like, the train had passengers in it, which is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm watching the hit. I'm. I'm watching. Wow.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The tr. Here comes train. I hear the train coming. Boom. And it hits the front part of it. It doesn't even hit the. The.

[Eddie]

Not the cargo.

[Bobby Bones]

It hits the cat trailer. It doesn't. The trailer.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it hits the cab.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

And so, like, what's a train sound like?

[Bobby Bones]

That would have been better. So it probably doesn't sound like that, but I would at least know what that is. Okay. Yeah. Good story that they got out. I mean, that's the good story. They lived, right?

[Eddie]

They lived. It's amazing. And no one really. No one got hurt, so. No one in the train got hurt.

[Bobby Bones]

And they told me something good. It's like they just jumped out of a truck. They didn't die.

[Eddie]

That's great news.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's great news. We'll accept it for today. Okay. There you go. That's what. But see, I say that's what it's all about, because it's like somebody doing something forward for other people.

[Eddie]

What it's all about, surviving is okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. We're about to have a show Sword in the Stone. Now, if I can get a little music, please. The Magical Sword in the Stone is a legendary story of King Arthur where a magical sword is embedded in a stone, and only the rightful king can pull it out, signifying their divine right to rule. And it's about to happen on this show. Amy, if you had to have, like, one of the dudes on this show, like, fight and protect you, who would you choose?

[Amy]

Let me think about this for one second. All the men I choose from. All the men.

[Bobby Bones]

All the men on the show. Very sexist. Because only men are up for the. Up for battle here.

[Amy]

Okay. I mean, I choose you.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

Was that tough for you, Amy?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Thank you. Thank you very much. I choose you don't know it for, but just to be even.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

So, Morgan, what do you have over there?

[Amy]

Okay, so I have a jar. This jar is something that I got back in the fall, and I have yet to be able to open this jar.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So she tried over and over again to open the jar, but it won't open.

[Amy]

She banged it with a knife.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't used a knife.

[Amy]

I've used rubber gloves. I've used so many different things, and.

[Bobby Bones]

I do not understand if I maybe I am just incredibly not strong. I don't know. Very strong. You're very athletic and strong, but this is our sword in the stone. Like, which guy can open this and be the rightful king of the Bobby Bones Show? So we're all going to take a shot at it. Wow. I put the names on the wheel just because I'll spin it. And whoever it lands on goes first. Because let's say Lunchbox goes first and he doesn't get it, then I open it second. He can go, well, you only got it because I loosened it.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I do that to my wife sometimes. Like, if I can't get it and then she gets it, I'm like, ah, loosened it. So there'll be none of that. The will will determine the order. We'll spin it. Eddie, you can't go.

[Eddie]

I was like, I'm not on that wheel.

[Bobby Bones]

And you are not divinely the king of the Bobby Bone Show.

[Eddie]

What if, though, I can open it with my left hand? Dude, I would dominate all you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie has a broken arm. Do you want to be on the wheel?

[Eddie]

Yes, but I need someone to hold it for me. No.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the thing about King Arthur. No one helped. You have to do it.

[Eddie]

I can't do it. I can't. So let me now put me on there because I can try my legs.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. You. You will be here. I don't know if I want my jam in between the yellow spot right here. Okay, so I will spin the wheel. Whomever it lands on will go first. And if you can open this jar, it is you, the divine leader. The sword in the jar.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Or the lid in the jar. Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. Spin that wheel. First person up is Lunchbox. Okay, now hold on. Don't open it yet. Don't try yet.

[Eddie]

I didn't even do anything.

[Bobby Bones]

We're gonna go 15 seconds. Ray, if you'll get a timer up he'll have 15 seconds trying to see.

[Eddie]

If there's a trick on this jar.

[Bobby Bones]

Three, two, one, go.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's. That's tight.

[Amy]

Oh, I think I heard his wrist pop. Guys, I'm telling you, I have tried everything with this.

[Bobby Bones]

Five seconds in, somebody's gonna tear his shoulder.

[Amy]

That's how I felt.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. That's.

[Eddie]

You ain't getting that off.

[Bobby Bones]

I told you. Oh, my God. Awesome.

[Amy]

Is it, like, super glued on time?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. It is not him. He is not the divine leader of the show. You. That almost ripped my hands off. Guys, this makes me feel so much better right now. That hurt.

[Eddie]

Ow. Knew it.

[Bobby Bones]

So Lunchbox will come off the wheel. Raymundo. Scuba. Steve.

[Eddie]

But you felt it move, right?

[Amy]

I mean, I thought I did before, but I almost tore my hands opening.

[Eddie]

There's no way I get that. That is so hard.

[Bobby Bones]

We will spin again. Do you feel like you loosened it at all? Yeah. Okay. All right, here we go. It is time to spin that wheel. Scuba. Steve, is he the divine leader of the jar?

[Eddie]

That's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba, do not open yet. We need to get our timers ready. All right, you'll have 15 seconds. Oh. Oh, he's getting a little sleepy.

[Amy]

He's getting ready.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Scuba's pretty strong. Yeah, he's got big hands.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he's strong. Weird.

[Bobby Bones]

15 seconds.

[Eddie]

There's no rules or anything, right? I could just do whatever I need.

[Bobby Bones]

To do to open bust it on the ground.

[Amy]

I do want to eat the jam.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And go.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, he's banging it. He's twist. Oh, now he's.

[Eddie]

Now he's using his shirt.

[Bobby Bones]

He's using a shirt to go over the lid.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh. He's going to do it.

[Amy]

He's turning a rubber mitt.

[Bobby Bones]

Beta. Wow.

[Eddie]

Hey, you're welcome.

[Amy]

Or lunchbox loosened.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not saying that. Scuba. Yes. You are the divine leader. You go, Morgan. Thank you. I can finally eat my jam. Wow. I should have banged it on the ground.

[Eddie]

Hey, that was amazing. I mean, I didn't think about that.

[Amy]

I. I was questioned the sleeve move, but maybe it did something.

[Eddie]

It's so strong.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a ground bang. Sleeve move. Strength. Scuba, what do you have to say for yourself?

[Eddie]

I mean, I know I could do it. I'm determined that whatever I try out in life, I work hard at it. I figure a way to figure it out. And I did it. I opened it, and I'm more manlier than Lunchbox than any guy on this show.

[Bobby Bones]

And what did you you yelled something at Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

I have no idea what he said.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I said a lot of things. Oh, a beta.

[Eddie]

And I'm an alpha.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Which we already know that you put.

[Bobby Bones]

A dent in the lid.

[Amy]

I mean, you, like, slam that thing up.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's from the ground.

[Eddie]

You guys, anything else for me to open or hold on to or touch?

[Bobby Bones]

It's you. You are the alpha.

[Eddie]

All right?

[Bobby Bones]

We are not. I'm sad I never got a chance. But you know what? I didn't deserve a chance. I wasn't picked by the Almighty.

[Eddie]

The Almighty.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Thank you. Thank you, Morgan. Enjoy your jam. Thank you.

[Amy]

I can finally have PB and J's.

[Bobby Bones]

All hail Scuba Steve. Hip hip.

Ever wonder what it's like to be on the phone with an NFL general manager as you finalize the biggest contract in NFL history. AJ I'm AJ Stephens, Vice president of client strategy at Athletes first, where we've negotiated $1.4 billion in current NFL quarterback contracts. Introducing the Athletes First Family podcast, the Quarterback Series, along with my co host Brian Murphy, Athletes first CEO, we're pulling back the curtain on how these historic deals come together. You'll hear directly from the agents who shaped the NFL's financial landscape, the ones who negotiated Justin Herbert's extension and Deshaun Watson's fully guaranteed contract that sent shockwaves through the league. This isn't just about the numbers, though. It's about the untold stories behind these massive negotiations and the relationships the NFL superstars like Dak Prescott, Tua Tungavailoa, and Jordan Love have with their agents at Athletes First. For the first time ever, the agents who orchestrate these deals are sharing the details of the negotiations and everything that led up to their clients signing on the dotted line. Listen to the Athletes First Family podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to Crumbs as part of the Michael Luda Podcast Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What do you have? Lunchbox. Oh, man, there's this guy in Florida.

[Eddie]

And he did something awesome. A spite house. He owned a sliver of land, like in between all these houses and all their backyards back up to it. And they're like, look, man, we'll pay you like millions of dollars so we can extend our backyards because you're never going to be able to fit a house on that land. He goes, oh, I won't. So he goes. He draws up plans for a 15 foot wide house. Really tall city said, nope. So he made it 10ft wide, 19ft high, and it towers over their backyards. So it is on this little sliver of land. There's not really any yard. And it's high up, casts a shadow over their pools. And he lives there.

[Amy]

What happened to this guy?

[Bobby Bones]

So funny.

[Amy]

Like this is.

[Bobby Bones]

But this makes Lunchbox so happy. A guy that would do this.

[Eddie]

That's so mean.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me explain what the land looks like. I grew up in a trailer for a decent part of my life, and it looks like where a trailer goes, man. It looked literally like.

[Amy]

That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like a lot. A trailer that would be in a lot in a trailer park.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Except he's built it really high and it shadows right over the backyards of these people. I don't know why he's so mad, though. Because they offered him a bunch of money. Okay, you don't want it? I would like to use it to build a little house there. Cool. Build your house. But why build it? To make everybody else mad. Like, what do they do to him to hurt him.

[Eddie]

I told him he would never be.

[Bobby Bones]

Able to fit a house.

[Eddie]

And he said, when people sell me.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't do something. But that's not like you can't achieve a dream or run a mile that they're going, there's not enough space there for you to really build a house as compared to the other houses here.

[Eddie]

So just sell the property.

[Bobby Bones]

Personal.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did he take it so personal?

[Eddie]

Because he believes in. Don't tell me I can't do something.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they were saying it's okay. Got it.

[Eddie]

It is so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

There are no rules against how tall you can make a house.

[Eddie]

I thought there was.

[Amy]

Well, they said no to it. Seems like they said no at one height. And so then he went no.

[Eddie]

He went. He wanted to go 15ft wide and they said no. That's doesn't match the code. So he made it 10ft wide and really tall.

[Bobby Bones]

A 19 foot tall house looms over the surrounding backyards and pools, casting literal and figurative shadows over the neighbors who oppose the construction. Quote. I think the fact that my home was featured on Zillow Gone Wild, that's the thing.

[Eddie]

I didn't know that was a thing either.

[Bobby Bones]

And there used to be a for sale sign in the yard drew a lot of attention. But make no mistake, the house wasn't built for comfort alone. It was built to send a message. He who once tried to buy land is happy. And his neighbors are annoyed at the massive modern structure.

[Eddie]

At least he lives there.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I don't even know if he lives there. I think it's like a summer house. I don't think that's like permanent residence.

[Eddie]

Is that not funny? No, it's not funny.

[Amy]

It's annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

I just need more information because that's not like telling someone you'll never make it in life. It's going. This land really isn't big enough to build a house according to the other houses in the neighborhood.

[Amy]

Would anybody here act this way other.

[Bobby Bones]

Than no, I wouldn't want to spend the money despite I don't mind spiting somebody that makes me mad. But now I'm not going to spend. This guy probably spent. Oh, he bought the property for $700,000 as a second investment, and then he probably spent another four or five hundred thousand dollars building it on a strip.

[Eddie]

A very tiny strip.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

But hey proved him wrong. Said there would never be a house on that property.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we heard they said he couldn't do that. It's a Disney movie. I'm an option. The rights for this one.

[Eddie]

You enjoy your pool.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry, Shadow's blocking it right over the poise, right over the neighborhood. Oh my God.

[Amy]

It's horrible.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're a neighbor and you want to spide it, what is your BB gun the windows at night when nobody's there. Like, do you make it difficult back? I don't.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm saying, do you. Do you match spite with spite?

[Amy]

No, I guess now. Now if you want to move, you're gonna. You're put your house on the market value. I know that's annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

The fact that that's the story you want to talk about today is hilarious. It makes him so happy. Let's go check in with Amy.

[Amy]

Amy all the time Amy all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy all the time.

[Amy]

So this neuroscientist popped up in my feed talking about how if we hold a thought for 17 seconds, that's when things start to manifest. Because in the 17 seconds, it starts to multiply. He's the neuroscientist. He can explain it better than me, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you have a clip. Thank goodness.

[Amy]

It's actually fascinating. This is Jeffrey L. Fannon, PhD, neuroscientist.

[Eddie]

When you have energy that is vibrating at a particular frequency, within 17 seconds, other energy like that will be attracted to it. So if I'm having a positive thought or a negative thought, then what happens happens is that energy is attracted to it. I have other thoughts that are like that thought. So if you do that 17 seconds.

[Amy]

17 seconds for 68 seconds.

[Eddie]

Then momentum begins to occur.

[Amy]

So let's say that, that I'm normally. All of our emotions have a frequency to it. So if I'm in despair or anger.

[Eddie]

Or worry, all of those are lower, denser frequencies.

[Amy]

Yeah. And then you would start to attract lower frequency. Well, we want to be high vibes. So when you have the positive thoughts, you're attracting more positive around you because everything does have the energy. Just like, you know, when an energy vampire walks into the room and like sucks the life out of everybody, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Feel like that just makes me tired. Like. Yeah, I don't know that the guy's wrong. It's a little Huba Jubu for me.

[Amy]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like energy attracts energy.

[Amy]

Honestly, the videos, black and white, I have no idea what decade this is from. This is way back. But even neuroscientists today talk about the energy and the frequency. So something's been talked about for a very long time. And I think it's just a reminder, whether you believe it or not, just to focus more on the positive things. Because if you keep looking at despair and negative, then you're going to continue to see negative and despair.

[Bobby Bones]

The manifestation in life has been an odd thing for me to come to terms with because I don't believe you can just think about something appended on a board. However, that is not exactly what all that is. I think I was reading as part of a book, a guy was. And again, I'm not Hubu Jubu. Manifestation and things come to life. I'm very practical. You got to do the work. But they can exist. I do believe they can coexist. Where the manifestation stuff to me comes to life is when you say it, you are it. It attracts not energy, but people that also either want to help you, either want to be a part of what you're doing or aren't anti what you're doing. Because the more you're about something, the more attractive you're going to be to other people who are about either that thing or something. And it builds an environment where you can thrive. I think you are your environment. The people you surround yourself with, that's who you're going to be. The person you're married to, your friends, everybody at arm's length all the time, your church group, the people that you are with are who you're going to be. And if you want to be a high performer, you must surround yourself with high performers. If you want to be a great parent, you need to surround yourself with Great parents because that is a culture and cultures are extremely strong. Strong and extremely valuable. I don't know that he's right or wrong. Probably is right. I just don't commit to Hooba Juba because I can't like touch it, you know?

[Amy]

I know, but I mean there's just something so too what you think about, you bring about. And also one thing we can all relate to is when you're thinking about a particular car or a color of car and then you start to see that car everywhere. Well, those cars have always been there. It's just that now that's what your brain's fixated on. So you're more likely to see it. So therefore, if you have a vision board, you still have to work towards what's on there, but you're more likely to have encounters and connections with people that help you get there faster than you would if you weren't focused on it.

[Bobby Bones]

You need to be around people that will get you to where you want to go.

[Amy]

And guess what I have on my vision board this year?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know. I guess I just like for you.

[Amy]

To tell me a horse not put it on.

[Bobby Bones]

How would I guess that? The whole world I think her to go, I have a horse on my vision board. But I got us there quicker.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Amy]

A few years ago I had a horse on my vision board and then my dog got a hold of my vision board and she ate one corner, the bottom right corner. Guess it was in the bottom right corner, the horse. So I knew that year it wasn't meant to be. But here we are.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate meant to be. Don't get me going.

[Amy]

Go ahead to be because my dog ate the horse off the board. But I just want to. I don't know, I don't know how it's going to come about. I'm not wanting to own a horse. I don't have that type.

[Bobby Bones]

So you don't know why you have a horse on your vision board?

[Amy]

No, I know. I said I guess I don't know how it's going to come about.

[Bobby Bones]

Or do you want a horse?

[Amy]

I don't want to own a horse yet. But I think you want to borrow a horse. Maybe horse races. No, no, no.

[Eddie]

That would be fun.

[Amy]

Maybe like I start to come into relationships where, oh, you've got a horse. Oh, you can take your kids out here. Oh, you can ride, you can do therapy, equine stuff. Because I don't have the resources to care for a horse right now.

[Bobby Bones]

So when a kid Talks to Santa. He needs to tell Santa the exact present he wants. I feel like you need to be a little more communicative to Santa. Exactly what you want.

[Eddie]

This is.

[Amy]

This is a fun, fun game.

[Bobby Bones]

Not for anybody but you.

[Amy]

Because we're all like, it's a fun game. I like to play with my vision board. It's sort of like, I don the role of the horse yet, but I can't wait to find out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

How does this not seem exciting?

[Eddie]

We don't really know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

We don't know what you're talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. This lady named Sandy in Michigan got a big package in the mail. She opens it up, cuts it open, and there were a bunch of war medals, World War II medals. And she's like, this. This is not for me. She starts looking through them. There's two Purple Hearts, an airborne patch, campaign ribbons. It's like, these seem like they would be the utmost importance to somebody, but they are not me. And so she goes and finds a group on social media, and it's like, hey, I have these medals. Can you guys identify them? And they ended up finding the relatives of the person because the person was not alive anymore. But finding the relatives through the social media group and got them to them.

[Amy]

Oh, that's awesome. I feel like some people might see that and be, like, not important to me, so I'm just gonna, like, throw them away.

[Bobby Bones]
