Got a couple calls we're going to take regarding me taking my car in and it's just third maybe fourth time where they found something extra wrong with my car. Shane in Georgia is on first. Hey Shane, you're on.

[Shane]

Hey buddy, how's it going?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good. What do you want to say?

[Shane]

So I originally called for your experience at the automotive shop, but this is for Lunchbox. I had a buddy of mine flip his razor over on Sunday, just a smaller rollover, cut his head a little bit and he we Flipped it back over, no problem. He's like, oh, I feel good. Monday, his back started hurting. Tuesday, he was an ICU at Grady with four broken vertebrae in his back.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, great.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, that's not good.

[Bobby Bones]

And I ate deadly rice, so. What a day, man. Yeah, we both learned something.

[Eddie]

We might lose both of you.

[Amy]

Risky.

[Bobby Bones]

It may be the freaking Amy and Eddie show.

[Eddie]

Nobody wants to hear that.

[Bobby Bones]

Shane, what were you going to say about the mechanic shop?

[Shane]

All right, so I've worked in a couple different shops local to west Georgia. And I'm not speaking on experience for myself because I'm not the type of person, but I've had texts. I was a lead guy at the last shop I worked at and I had texts come to me and tell me, you know, like a car would come in for a rotation, tire rotation, and they would come and say, oh, hey, these tires are at 60 tread. I'm going to mark them down at 30% and try to get them to buy some tires. Nine times out of 10, the. The chances of you getting two nails in both back tires at the same time are very slim, unless somebody's just mad at you and threw a handful of nails in your driveway or behind your car. But the automotive industry is very shady. You've got good mechanics out there that will not, you know, essentially rob you. They won't lie to you and tell you that, you know, if there's nothing wrong with your car, if it's broke, don't fix it. Like somebody come in for an oil change. I'd have text trying to sell them on stuff they didn't even come in for. And that was one that. That's why I learned at a young age to work on it myself. I bought a brand new truck as a teenager, fresh out of high school and had all the warranties. And every time I go to the dealership, they'd be like, hey, well, we got to fix this lights here. It's going to cost an extra 500. So I learned to work on myself. And then I got really into working on cars and I learned very, very quickly that if they're a flat rate mechanic, which means they get paid by the book, say an oil change calls for an hour, they get a percentage of that hours. And they would just. I mean, I've even as far as seeing them damage parts to a vehicle to get a customer, unknown customer, you know, customers come in me, hey, my car is making this weird noise over here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Shane]

And they would sell them a whole complete front end rebuild one the entire time it's just an uneven tire and it's making a sound on the road. You like a cup tire make a real loud roar and noise on the road. Not that sound on a whole front end rebuild. And a lot of times if I seen that, I'd stop it and buy. You know, we're not going to do this. I've even pulled customers to the side and told them, look, go somewhere else. You know, this ain't. This ain't wrong with your car. GM's notorious for lifter ticks. They've been the lifters in a, in a GM, specifically a 5, 3. Most of the time, if they don't pick, you know they're going to eventually.

[Bobby Bones]

I need a Shane in my life. That's what I need.

[Eddie]

And go. And he needs to go with you. Yeah, yeah, talk to Shane, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I need. I need to take my man, a man take care of me. Yeah, the two tires thing, kind of both tires. Seriously, Shane, I appreciate that call. Hope you have a great rest of the day. Thank you very much. And I hope your friend gets is okay. That's a crazy story. And now Lunchbox thinks his back hurts even more.

[Shane]

Tell Lunchbox definitely go get checked out.

[Eddie]

For sure I will.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man. Have a good day. Let's go to Savannah in Texas. Who's on Savannah? Yes, you are on. What's going on?

[Savannah]

Hi, how are you doing?

[Lunchbox]

Pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you want to say?

[Savannah]

So I was just wanting to let them know that it's probably really important to go get checked out. I ended up getting rear ended a couple of years ago. Ended up herniating the disc and it dissolved into. And it exploded out of my back into my nerves. So it's resulted in three spine surgeries.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you looking up over there?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I just realized that I got a text and it says, hey, this is officer Blank with the police department traffic unit. Realize I'm the one that is investigating your crash. Can you call me so I can understand what happened?

[Amy]

When did that happen?

[Bobby Bones]

How many days ago?

[Lunchbox]

That was on Sunday.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm like, dude, it's Thursday now.

[Lunchbox]

My question is, is that real? How did you miss what I'm asking.

[Bobby Bones]

You how did you miss that text?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Amy]

But how did you just find it?

[Lunchbox]

Because I was looking through my text just to see like my insurance. Like if I'm. I was gonna text them and say.

[Bobby Bones]

You ignored a cop then.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, like did the cops just text you?

[Bobby Bones]

Did you give them your cell yeah, but. Okay.

[Eddie]

I feel like they would call.

[Lunchbox]

They just text me.

[Amy]

Like, what I feel like texting might be. Text sounded legit.

[Bobby Bones]

If I get a call from an unknown number, I'm not answering it. If I get a text, at least I'm gonna look at it to see if I believe it's an exact number.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. And I gave a statement on the scene. It's not like I.

[Amy]

Well, he wants to see if it matches.

[Eddie]

I've never heard of that. I've never heard of a call.

[Amy]

When's the last time you were in an accident like this?

[Bobby Bones]

But how are they gonna get his number? A scammer. He gave it to the cop.

[Eddie]

Well, don't. When, like something like this police record or whatever, like, when it goes into the record, right? Like they make a police report. Don't people have access to that? And then, like, insurance companies can find it or, like, lawyers can find it.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna. I'm gonna text back. Is this real?

[Amy]

No, you can't.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a fair question.

[Amy]

How about we call it? We call the number.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's fair to go. Hey, just saw this. Sorry. I've been dealing with blinding pain in my back that has hurt my vision.

[Eddie]

That's good. That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Just wondering if this is real.

[Amy]

Oh, man. I kind of just call it and see if officer answers.

[Bobby Bones]

We can't do that on the air, though. Did you know what happened with him this week?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

He freaking secretly recorded a doctor and tried to bring it in and play it lunchbox.

[Amy]

You can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

You know you can't do that.

[Lunchbox]

Why? It's my medical information.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't record somebody else, though, and just bring it in.

[Amy]

Yeah, I got in trouble for that once, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Been doing this a long time. And he brings in hidden recording of a doctor.

[Amy]

Mine wasn't on air, though. I was an appointment with my mom. And so my sister and I would alternate going to appointments, and I was sort of the one. I couldn't regurgitate it all correctly. My sister was really good at understanding it all and then remembering it. And then I would leave appointments and I'd be like, I don't really know. So I was like, I better start recording them.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fine.

[Amy]

Yeah. No, no, no, it's not. They.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if nobody ever knows.

[Amy]

Well, they saw me and they made me shut it down. And I said, no, no, no. It's just family notes, malpractice reasons. Well, I get it, but I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're in a private place. If you're in public, you record whatever you want.

[Lunchbox]

I thought it was because it's my doctor telling me my medical information that I can do whatever I want with it. That's more what I thought it was more about.

[Eddie]

The doctor can't put him on air.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you can't just record him secretly and put it on air.

[Amy]

Okay, well, we could call.

[Bobby Bones]

Sexist of you, Eddie Y always.

[Amy]

We could just call on the side he doesn't see on the air. But I'll be like, an officer answered. An officer answered.

[Lunchbox]

I said, hey, just saw this. Sorry I missed it. I was wondering, is this real?

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't you Google the cop's name?

[Amy]

I was wondering, is this real? Like, so now I'm looking at him reading it like, is the text real? Was the wreck real?

[Bobby Bones]

It's all AI. He AI'd us all. There was no banana peanut butter smoothie. He did that in his own car. That exploded to make the content.

[Lunchbox]

No, man, trust me.

[Amy]

I just thought of something really bad.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Amy]

I can't say it. Okay, that was a dirty joke.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

That's his Cialis and all over the top pervo.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what, like an 11 year old boy thinks we're idiots and even we wouldn't think that.

[Kyler]

What?

[Amy]

I only said it and then you knew exactly what it was.

[Eddie]

You responded.

[Lunchbox]

Nope. I said, I mean, the text. I know the crash is real. Oh, my God, he's going back. Because I didn't want this cop to think I'm crazy.

[Eddie]

It does sound a little crazy.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, the text.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

So funny. Hold on. Savannah. Thank you for the call. He has to go to the doctor today.

[Amy]

Oh, my eyes are watering.

[Savannah]

Oh, yeah, because mine ended up. I have permanent nerve damage down my leg now, so I actually got the disc removed. Then I had a spinal fusion, and now I had a spinal cord stimulator put in in October. So, I mean, your back's nothing to mess around with. It's. It is not fun. It's in and out of work, stuff like that. So I'll take the Internet.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but if you're in and out of work, you're home feeling miserable.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Eddie]

Did Savannah sue?

[Savannah]

I. I did. But after it was all said and done, I still had doctor's bills, and I really did not walk away with pretty much nothing after I had to pay those, so. But now it's a. It's. You know, that happened three years ago almost. And I'm still Suffering the consequences for someone's bad driving. And after that happened, I got T boned. And then, like, three weeks later, I totaled my car.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, wait, you got T bone? It wasn't totaled.

[Bobby Bones]

This. You had three wrecks? Yeah.

[Savannah]

And then like.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, God.

[Savannah]

Yeah. I live in San Marcos, Texas, so it's a lot of college drivers in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Was any of it your fault?

[Savannah]

One of them.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're sure that all three did not cause whatever you're going through? Just that that one did.

[Savannah]

It was the one. The first one where I got rear ended that that caused all the problems. But I'm pretty sure the other two being T boned and then the one afterwards just didn't help out my situation whatsoever.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree with that.

[Eddie]

I would think so.

[Bobby Bones]

How from the first wreck to the third, how much time in between?

[Savannah]

Between the first and the second? It was about a year and a half. And then about a couple weeks later was the. The last one.

[Bobby Bones]

How many wrecks have you been in your life?

[Savannah]

4.

[Bobby Bones]

What about that other one? Is that. Has that. Is that on the other side, like, the closer to us or before that first strike?

[Savannah]

Oh, way before I fell asleep at the wheel on i35, actually. Wait, what?

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Lola]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

We appreciate your honesty. Yeah.

[Amy]

What? Explain that.

[Savannah]

I was tired and I was driving home from Leander to San Marcos, and I just kind of dozed off and I hit the concrete barrier a couple times. Didn't hit anyone else, but I mean, it. It happens. You know, that happens. And I don't. Yeah, I don't. If I'm tired, I will not get behind the wheel after that.

[Lunchbox]

They.

[Eddie]

They say tired driving is drunk driving.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, Savannah, I sure hope you get healthy. Thank you for sharing your story, and I hope you have a great day. Be careful out there.

[Savannah]

I'm gonna try. Thank you so much. Y' all have a great day.

[Amy]

Also, she's brutally honest.

[Lunchbox]

Hopefully she wasn't driving and talking on the phone, bro. She was.

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna tell me that T bone and that one that she was didn't also hurt her back?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

All of them.

[Amy]

I mean, all of them, I think contributed in some way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

But the first one was the sleep of the wheel. That's the one.

[Eddie]

That was the one a long time ago.

[Amy]

Yeah, that was the first one. First one then. Then the one that hurt her back.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Did you get a response lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

No, but I type in the name, and I remember that name, and it does come up with the police department. And this officer is Acknowledged for community involvement and saving a woman's life at one point.

[Eddie]

Cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Any awards for timely texts, quick texting?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

You should add on there. Congrats, man. On that award you got a few years back.

[Bobby Bones]

I was looking you up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

It looks like you are real.

[Lunchbox]

And I should say, I know you're real. Should I say I know you're real? I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

Let us know if he responds.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I just can't believe they would text me. That's just so weird.

[Bobby Bones]

They do text. I think it's weirder if they only call and don't text.

[Amy]

Yeah. If you look to see if there's.

[Bobby Bones]

Also a missed call.

[Lunchbox]

Let me see if there's a missed call.

[Eddie]

There we go.

[Lunchbox]

Let me check. Hold on.

[Amy]

Because maybe he called, didn't get you, and then sent the text.

[Eddie]

Now you're thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't even know there was a phone out yesterday.

[Lunchbox]

I had no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

And it was all day. Okay, let's go around the room. Amy, you're up.

[Amy]

Okay. So I'm gonna show you his face. You'll probably be familiar. I don't know if you'll know him just by saying Timothy Busfield.

[Bobby Bones]

I know who he is.

[Amy]

Okay. So I know him from West Wing. I love that show. So good. Well, he's been arrested for child sex abuse in New Mexico. He allegedly. I. I'll just let me read it verbatim so I don't say anything wrong. But he's being held on two counts of criminal sexual contact of a minor and one count of child abuse. And he was directing a TV series in New Mexico, and I believe it's a 16 year old girl making these claims and he's fighting these allegations. The. What they're saying is for him to please be held until they can go to court because they have proof of decades long allegations of grooming and other abuse. And I'm like, what? So this might be a floodgate into other things. Or he's being set up and they're trying to build a case to keep him there.

[Bobby Bones]

I read that he passed a polygraph.

[Amy]

I saw that as well. He took an independent polygraph and he turned himself in.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I saw a video that, like, where he addressed that he was innocent and that he fight this.

[Amy]

And he's. He's married to Melissa Gilbert from the.

[Bobby Bones]

House on the Prairie.

[Amy]

Yes. And a ton of Lifetime movies. And she is standing by his side and supporting him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, listen, we don't know obviously, but when I read he took an independent polygraph that does at least make remind me, I don't know what's happening here.

[Lunchbox]

And also Amy was two brothers. I don't know where you got the female.

[Amy]

Oh, sorry.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Where'd you get the female?

[Amy]

I guess I just assumed and I also saw like.

[Eddie]

Was it on set? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

It was two brothers who acted in the TV show the Cleaning Lady.

[Amy]

No, I said New Mexico. Yeah, the TV show is called the Cleaning Lady. It's not the Cleaning Lady. That. Right, that's what you said, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's called the Cleaning lady.

[Eddie]

The show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

In 2022, he allegedly molested the boys who were 7 and 8 at the time of the alleged abuse while they were on set.

[Amy]

Oh, who's 16? Somebody else maybe they're.

[Bobby Bones]

I've read a bunch about this. There's just, it's such a serious charge and there have been so many people that have a. Done it and they've gone to where they should and some people that haven't have been set up for it. Some are saying though he's, he has other charges. So they're trying to get money from him because since he has a. This being in his history.

[Amy]

So the 16 year old girl, she is from 20 years ago. So the decades long, like she's one of the ones.

[Eddie]

No, it was when she was 16.

[Amy]

It was when she was 16. So that's the part I read.

[Eddie]

Because if she were 16 now and.

[Bobby Bones]

It was 20 years ago, she'd be minus four.

[Amy]

That would be difficult. So he was accused of sexually abusing a 16 year old girl more than 20 years ago. And that came out following his arrest in New Mexico. Okay, so that's where the girl came from.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the whole story sucks.

[Amy]

Terrible.

[Lunchbox]

And he was missing for three days. The, the like FBI or the marshals were looking for him. The U.S. marshals, they couldn't find him. But he was driving to New Mexico to report.

[Bobby Bones]

To turn himself in. Yeah, Yeah. I thought at first when they couldn't find him, he did what that football coach did.

[Lunchbox]

That football coach still hadn't been found.

[Eddie]

Still hasn't been found.

[Bobby Bones]

His body hasn't been found.

[Lunchbox]

Nope, nothing. Which, and then, and then there was three other football coaches in that town that had been charged with. Like they said, it's like a culture there.

[Eddie]

But you, but you're assuming that his body will be found. Like he may just have disappeared. He may have just gone somewhere.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't know what he did. It's probably pretty hard to go somewhere. We live in, you know, a place where there are 10 million cameras.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Amy]

Well, I was thinking, like, especially when.

[Lunchbox]

He went in a heavy wooded area with a gun.

[Radhi Devlukia]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And then. And then. Could animals have taken him?

[Bobby Bones]

Possibly. But living in a surveillance state, it's so hard unless you know exactly what you're doing to not be surveilled. But I did see the story about him. I hope it's not true. If it is true, I hope he gets the harshest punishment possible. People shouldn't be doing stuff with kids. But I did see he took an independent polygraph and passed. So for what it's worth, I think that just needs to be said.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And I got a text back.

[Eddie]

You did?

[Lunchbox]

He said, yes, this is real, but I got it taken care of.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

So I guess he doesn't need my statement.

[Eddie]

He's like, I texted you five days ago, dude.

[Amy]

So, like. So say, do you. Do you need a statement from me?

[Lunchbox]

I'm going to. I'll be like, are you sure you got it? Because I can give you a statement again.

[Amy]

Type it right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you wanting him to mess with the cop?

[Amy]

Oh, no, I want to know.

[Bobby Bones]

You're, like, dicking around with the cop.

[Amy]

Being like, no, I'm not.

[Bobby Bones]

You're like, hey, tell him to come save you right now.

[Amy]

That's not what I said.

[Lunchbox]

He'll fire.

[Bobby Bones]

Text him 911.

[Amy]

No, I thought he should follow up. He's like, I'm going to. I'm like, well, why would he. I'm just eager to do it now.

[Eddie]

He says he's got it. Cop says he's got it. Just leave it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I said, sorry about that. I can jump on the phone if you need me to say.

[Eddie]

I got lots to say now. I know. I want to look at my phone now.

[Amy]

Yeah, Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's what I'm saying. I. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, an update to the story that you were talking about yesterday with Kiefer Sutherland.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, this is bad.

[Bobby Bones]

So here's the thing. I don't know that he did it. I'm gonna read you the whole story. Police sources say Kiefer Sutherland threatened to kill the Uber driver that he was arrested for assaulting, supposedly because the guy refused to stop and let him out during a ride. We know a little more about Kiefer Sutherland's arrest. I think this is from TMZ for attacking an Uber driver, and it includes an alleged death threat. Police sources told TMZ that Kiefer was having dinner with a friend Sunday night. He called for an Uber black somewhere along the way Kiefer asked the driver, hey, would you mind stopping and letting me out? After the driver refused several times, which, by the way, this is me saying this. Why would you refuse? Yeah, guy wants to get out of a car, let him out of the car. You're almost kidnapping him. If he wants out.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe they weren't at the destination yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't matter.

[Lunchbox]

But Uber's policy. I don't know. Do you have to let him out, or do they get in trouble for just dropping off at a random spot?

[Bobby Bones]

If you ask to be let out, would you change it in the phone and be like, hey, let me out here? No, no problem. Anyway, regardless. That's not even what's crazy, the craziest part about this. So he wouldn't stop. Kiefer threatened to kill him.

[Eddie]

If you don't stop, I'm gonna kill you.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it happened a few times. Hey, stop. No. Hey, stop. Yeah. No, dude, stop. I'm gonna kill you, or I'm gonna kill you. In my mind, that's what happened.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's what the driver told police when he called 911 to report the attack. This still isn't the part that makes me go, hmm. The driver never claimed he suffered any injuries, but Kiefer was arrested on a felony charge for making a criminal threat. Interestingly enough, this all could have been a misunderstanding. TMZ claims the driver spoke either Russian or Armenian and needed a translator when he spoke to the LAPD because he didn't know English.

[Amy]

Oh, so maybe he didn't even. Did he not even understand let me out?

[Lunchbox]

That could be.

[Bobby Bones]

And if he can't understand let me out, how's he gonna understand, I'm gonna kill you?

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's a lot here that is not defined. So I'm not saying Kiefer Sullivan didn't threaten to kill him. I don't know. I wasn't there, but I can't go for sure he threatened to kill him because the guy didn't even speak English. And if you need a translator to talk to a cop to say, what happened to you? How do you know what happened to you?

[Amy]

Mm.

[Radhi Devlukia]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

That's all.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

He probably still did it. But I'm just. If I were his attorney, that'd be the case I'd present. Like, he didn't even know what happened. How can we bust. How can we, you know, accuse him of this? So that's the update to that story.

[Eddie]

I didn't know you can get arrested by saying, like, dude, Let me out or I'm gonna kill you.

[Bobby Bones]

It's now I'm kill you part. It's not the let me out part. You can say let me out all day.

[Lunchbox]

You can say let me out. That's not really threatening that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. All day story, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Okay, you remember we were talking about Greg Biffle? He was the ex NASCAR driver. He died in a plane crash with his whole family about a month ago. What's crazy is that somebody broke into his house on a couple days ago after.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, yeah, after all this. There's been a burglary in his house. They took $30,000 that they think was in a safe and they stole some guns, some memorabilia, and no one was home at the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody had to know that there was money in specific money because again, they supposedly got into a safe, into a backpack that had $30,000 in cash. Yeah. To guns and memorabilia. Like you're really not going to know where that safe is or how to get in that safe unless you know there's a safe.

[Lunchbox]

That's awful, isn't it?

[Bobby Bones]

I can understand if you just break in and steal. Oh yeah, it's terrible.

[Eddie]

Like they're gone.

[Bobby Bones]

You punched a one way ticket to hell. But you have, you have to have some inside information to even know there's anything left in the house.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Much less exactly where it is. Yeah. What's wrong with people?

[Lunchbox]

What's wrong?

[Eddie]

I mean, also too, like there is the, you know how you, these football players, they see them on tv, they know they're not home, they break into them. Right. Like they break and break into their house. Same thing. Like if you know that family and you see in the news, well, they're all dead. They're all dead.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It would be different though because I would just think someone would have already take. Been in the house, taken everything out because they died.

[Lunchbox]

But also, I can't believe these people don't have alarms that alert the alarm companies that say, well, no one's there.

[Bobby Bones]

To turn it on. They all died.

[Eddie]

They're all dead.

[Lunchbox]

But when they left for vacation, you would think they turned the alarm off.

[Eddie]

Well, maybe somebody went in there.

[Bobby Bones]

The cops have probably been there.

[Lunchbox]

You're probably right.

[Amy]

Oh yeah. And other family.

[Bobby Bones]

I heard it was Keefer Sutherland. I just heard alleged.

[Lunchbox]

Not.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not true. Just a little jokey joke. Okay, lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Back in 2011, Ellen Greenberg was a 27 year old schoolteacher. She was found in her apartment, 23 stab wounds. They originally said murder, then they said no, suicide. Suicide. And it's been not talked about for years. And her family is saying, there is no way that is suicide. That is a murder. And now the US Attorney General is taking over the case, and they asked for all the information. So I don't know if they got a tip or. But this is gonna be like one of those documentaries. It's like, oh, my God, what do we wait so long? How do you. How do you stab yourself 23 times and it'd be a suicide?

[Eddie]

There was a singer that did that. Stab himself in the stomach over and over and over. Killed himself.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, what singer?

[Eddie]

Elliot Smith.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. He's probably on drugs.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If I were just guessing.

[Eddie]

Well, that's just the. That stood out because you think like, yeah, how do you stab yourself over being on drugs?

[Bobby Bones]

I'd want to know if she was doing a bunch of drugs. Because if you're on so many drugs, probably not feeling anything.

[Shane]

But.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they originally said.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a new story when she died?

[Lunchbox]

At first, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Or is it only a new story now?

[Lunchbox]

No, it's been a new story. And they've been just like their family, I guess, has been still out there saying, hey, like, she was murdered. She was murdered. Someone look at this. And now the U.S. attorney General's office has asked for all the evidence, and I guess something happened where they are now investigating it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you know, we started. I think it's the first episode, so I can say we watched like, four episodes of his and Hers.

[Amy]

What do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to give it an official review yet.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

It's just.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Eddie]

The teaser's good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a little corny. I don't like when they play music over intense scenes. Why do you need to supplement the scene if it's real and it's good, you don't need to have a violin playing in the background. It just feels corny. Now. It may have been shot a little corny at times purposefully. Like, they end an episode and it zooms in on someone's face and they're just staring out at them. That's corny. I'm not dying to watch the next episode, but I think we finished four and there are only six. So we'll finish it.

[Amy]

Yeah, you might as well go, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

His and hers on Netflix. Anybody else watching it? Mike? No, I like John Bernthal. Second favorite actor. Jesse Plemons, John Bernithal, Keanu Reeves. Hall of Honor.

[Eddie]

Dude, when you hover over that, you know, you. The picture or whatever. It shows you the teaser. I'm like. I'm like, ooh, I want to watch this.

[Bobby Bones]

I was watching people tweet about it last night, and they were like, oh, my God, you're never gonna believe it. I was like, shut up. You don't. We don't. This is America. Of all of our faults right now. And trust me, there are many. We live in a pretty good society that protects spoiler culture. Like, people just don't get on the Internet and say all stuff ended.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

People can ruin everything, and generally they don't.

[Eddie]

So you're saying that's a one good thing?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's like one of the good things right now that you just don't get online and everybody's spoiling everything.

[Amy]

Well, things like with that, though, they were flirting with it a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they were just.

[Lunchbox]

You gotta watch.

[Bobby Bones]

You never believe. And I expect that anyway when it's a murder, because the whole thing and the teaser says, like a cop and a reporter on two different sides of a murder. Yeah, like.

[Eddie]

Like there are two sides to every.

[Bobby Bones]

Story to his and hers.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You finished it.

[Amy]

I did. I gave it three and a half out of five.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was surprised that you didn't rate it higher. Not for any other reason that it was Netflix. They do really good at those kind of series. And my second favorite actor of all time, but I'm watching it. I kind of get it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I told Caitlin as we started it, I said, Amy said it was okay. I said, but to be fair, Amy said she missed a lot of it while she was watching it, so maybe she missed some good stuff.

[Amy]

No, I got the gist.

[Bobby Bones]

It's okay. Not an official review, but I thought I would love it a lot more.

[Amy]

I have things I want to say, but I don't want to say because.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't say good, Amy, say good.

[Eddie]

We just talked about the good thing about our country.

[Amy]

This is what I mean.

[Lunchbox]

Don't ruin our country.

[Amy]

We have to keep something good.

[Bobby Bones]

Keep it good. Morgan, your story.

[Amy]

There's an 81 year old grandma and she wanted to get close to her grandkids, so she started playing Minecraft on the Internet. And One of her grandsons, 17 years old, started battling cancer. So she decided to create a YouTube page called Grandma Crackers after playing Minecraft with her kids. And the channel was created to cover medical expenses for her grandson. And they raised over like $35,000. She has over 100,000 subscribers of people watching her, and now her grandson Is cancer free.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. That's a pretty good one. That's like telling me something good there.

[Lunchbox]

It's pretty funny if you listen to the audio. She's like, oh, what was that? Is she good?

[Eddie]

Is she good at thinking?

[Lunchbox]

No, she's not good.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she's not good at all.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she's like, oh, I'm gonna go.

[Kyler]

Oh, I better know.

[Lunchbox]

Like, oh, little turtle, I don't need you right now. I'm gonna come get you.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I died.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I died.

[Lola]

How did I die?

[Bobby Bones]

You subscribed to her feed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I saw the news story. I sent it in, but he's like.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched her on Tuesday.

[Lunchbox]

I did actually watch it on Tuesday. I saw the video.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Ray, play me voicemail number one, please.

[Shane]

Bobby, See you a day late. On the advice, we were stuck between two names, Lucky and Goldie. We ended up having a girl. So Goldie coast is what we went with Goldie for Golden hour. And the coast, that's what. What we love. But I appreciate the advice, man. And we didn't want to give her a boring name like Amy Morgan or Abby, you know, we want her to have some real personality.

[Eddie]

Take care, guys. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So lame.

[Bobby Bones]

Congrats on the name.

[Amy]

That's cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Once somebody says what they name their kid, you're going to hear, no. No scrutiny for me. If you're like, what do you think of these names? And you're inviting it. I think I'm happy to lend whatever perspective I have, but I ain't going to scrutinize anybody's name. At least not to their face.

[Eddie]

You can go home behind their back. You'll never believe what they named our kid.

[Bobby Bones]

What name did I say?

[Lunchbox]

I don't remember his options.

[Amy]

Well, Goldie and Coast were two of them.

[Bobby Bones]

One was like, sand pumpernickel Horizon.

[Eddie]

Indy was one.

[Amy]

Indy was one. And I think you chose that one. I think.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, congratulations, man. That's good for you.

[Lunchbox]

Hope she.

[Bobby Bones]

You said girl, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah, Goldie Coast.

[Bobby Bones]

Hope she's healthy and everything's rocking for you. I was watching a tick tock yesterday. It's some dude who just had a baby, and he's like, I'm gonna teach you some dad tips. No. And it's the most basic things. He's like, how to pick up the baby. I was like, I watched the whole video. He's like, baby's necks are weak. I mean, he's doing this video for people like me that have no idea what they're doing. He's like. You take your hand, you slide it under. When you pick it up and he's like. And then you do the dad Tap. Kind of funny.

[Amy]

What's the dad tap? I missed it.

[Bobby Bones]

Once you pick it up and you get it into your arm, you pat.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

At the back.

[Amy]

Cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. While you're holding it, I probably have it. Not that it matters, but he was a British guy, too, so I felt. There it is. Dad advice.

[Amy]

Oh, wait, let me see. I think. Can I see it when you play it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lola]

If you're a new dad, then these videos are for you. Lola and I have decided to start a dad tip series. Every morning when we wake up on the morning shift, we're going to try and share one dad tip so that we can help new dads today. It's. How do you pick a baby up? When I first became a dad, I had no experience with babies, and so I had. Had no clue what I was doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Same, bro.

[Lola]

And so I'm going to show you how I go about it. I'm not saying it's perfect. I'm not an expert, but I always try to protect her little head. Now why do we do that? Her neck is really weak and so she always needs support. So that's something to know.

[Lunchbox]

Never take your hand.

[Bobby Bones]

They picks her up. So I watch the whole thing.

[Eddie]

That's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm learning. I got a pretty funny idea in mind. I don't know if it's funny, but I have a pretty. I think I'm going to review children's books because I have like a hundred. And so I think I'm going to review children's books. That's cool.

[Amy]

When you read that, like, you'll read them and then you'll. But, like, just you.

[Bobby Bones]

You think the baby is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, the baby can't talk anymore.

[Eddie]

Are you asking, like, are you going to read the book to the baby?

[Amy]

Yeah, like, are you going to.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to read the book to the baby and then review the book.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. This is my review of Goodnight Moon.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good one, man.

[Eddie]

It's too simple.

[Bobby Bones]

Writing was a little sloppy.

[Lunchbox]

Let me tell you, the kids love Goodnight Moon. That's one that they really enjoy.

[Eddie]

Didn't make a lot of sense.

[Lunchbox]

What do you mean?

[Eddie]

No, I'm just like. A lot of these books are so dumb, you know, and simple.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of holes in the plot.

[Eddie]

It's funny. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I was thinking about doing that because when my wife had her Baby shower. That's what we asked for. So she asked for, instead of gifts, it was just bring a book. And so we have like a hundred books or something.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you're gonna get one every month. It's really cool. From Dolly Parton. She mails you a book every month.

[Amy]

Oh, you have that? You have to sign up.

[Eddie]

Sign up. You're not gonna sign up for that.

[Bobby Bones]

I already have a million books I don't need anymore.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Eddie]

The imagination library.

[Lunchbox]

It's amazing. So every stage that they're at, they send a book corresponding. Like, what they think, the level of the kid. I mean, the kids love it, I'm telling you. And they go to the mailbox, they check it.

[Kyler]

I got a book.

[Bobby Bones]

Woo.

[Lunchbox]

But then when they stop getting books in kindergarten, kind of heartbreaking. They get kind of mad at dog.

[Eddie]

Tell them. That's the Bobby.

[Amy]

You could just go put a book in the mailbox and then be like.

[Bobby Bones]

What if you just faked that Dolly was continuing to send books? Yeah, you go put one in there and be like, you got. I think there's another book from Dolly.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you could do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Wake up early in the morning.

[Eddie]

But he likes that. They're free.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they're free, man.

[Eddie]

Yeah, he'd have to pay for that book.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, all these books I got are free.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's true.

[Amy]

Well, they were gifts.

[Eddie]

Dude, have you seen those? Those cool things that they put in neighborhoods where, like, you take a book, leave a book.

[Amy]

The little library.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we. Do you say it like a baby. On purpose?

[Amy]

No, I said library. A little library.

[Lunchbox]

But the only problem with those are people put books from, like, 1970. Like, they put their old crappy books, and they're like, not always.

[Amy]

I've seen good ones. And then they've turned into little pantries. To pantry.

[Bobby Bones]

The library.

[Amy]

We turn into pantries.

[Bobby Bones]

We go to little pantry.

[Amy]

Whatever.

[Eddie]

Anyway, those are cool.

[Amy]

Yeah, those are cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie said we were nominated for an Iheart Podcast award.

[Eddie]

Did you know that? Yeah, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

We're nominated for music podcast, so Best music podcast, the Bobby Bones Show. We're not really a music podcast.

[Eddie]

I know, but that's the category.

[Amy]

When you said that just now, I was like, oh, the Bobby cast.

[Eddie]

Nope. The Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Because that one's. That's one. That is a music podcast one before the Bobby Cast. I've won one for that. But also, it's like if we did our own awards, and then it was like, craziest guy with the craziest voice lunchbox. Like, I'm nominated for an award. It's like, yeah. I mean, you're part of the, you know.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Song exploder. Switched on pop. All things considered in one song. Those four actual music podcasts.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm confused.

[Bobby Bones]

Ours is not. They just want to put us in somewhere so we felt confused.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I saw it on the list. I'm like, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

The winner of the top award will be determined by fan vote that will take place February 22nd through February 22nd.

[Eddie]

I think the awards are south by southwest in Austin, March 16.

[Bobby Bones]

Look, do I think that we should win that award? I do not.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

For best, we're not a music podcast. We play some music on the actual radio show, but there is nothing actually in the podcast about music.

[Lunchbox]

We talk about music. We talk about, like, artists occasionally, but.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S not a music podcast. I bet you 10% of what we do is about music.

[Eddie]

Ray trying to sing that song. Those games are kind of fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but again, you're talking about 10%.

[Eddie]

So you don't think we'll win it?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think we should win it.

[Eddie]

Oh, so if you do win, is that what you're gonna say when you get the award?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna turn it down.

[Eddie]

Hey, we shouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd do like Garth did when Garth won and he gave it. Left it up on up there for Hootie.

[Eddie]

Yeah. We want all songs considered to have this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we don't deserve this, so we're gonna leave this right here for song exploder. Okay. Is there anything else I want to do before break? I don't know that there is. Let me see if there's anything else I'm going to do. Keep a list of podcast only bits. Let's do one more. No, I'm good. I got to that Verizon outage.

Want to go over and take a call from Kyler in Missouri, who listens to every game we do on the show. And every year at the beginning of the year, he calls in and gives us just total percentages, Wins, losses, et cetera. Hey, Kyler. Welcome back to the show.

[Kyler]

Hey, good to be back. How's it going?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good. I feel like his voice gets deeper every year. Yeah, like he, you know, gets a few hairs down there. Every year, a few more Kyler.

[Kyler]

So better connection this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm going to let you just kind of take it away. So do you want to give us some stats on the year of 2025?

[Kyler]

You got it. So we'll start with Ray and Scuba. They both went 0 for 1.

[Bobby Bones]

They both played a single game and lost.

[Kyler]

Yeah, Scuba played for Amy and easy trivia whenever she had a yeast infection. And he lost.

[Amy]

He lost.

[Bobby Bones]

We had two yeast infections last year. Amy and Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

That's crazy. That's very sad.

[Amy]

His is the one that's sus.

[Eddie]

What a coincidence.

[Bobby Bones]

So who had it first?

[Amy]

He did.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he gave it to you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

That's us.

[Eddie]

We gotta look into this.

[Lunchbox]

No truth to that rumor.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you both have a yeast infection in 2025?

[Amy]

Wait, there's no rumor?

[Lunchbox]

Mine was in my throat. Exactly.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Amy]

There's no rumor.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's true, right? You both had a yeast infection in 2025?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

And you sure Lunchbox had it first?

[Lunchbox]

Amy, that's why we say there's no truth to the rumor.

[Amy]

There's no rumor. I'm not even acknowledging that's a rumor.

[Lunchbox]

There's no rumor imply.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he have it first?

[Amy]

Yeah, he had it first.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Okay, Kyler, Ray, and Scuba. Steve with a 0% winning percentage. Okay, next up.

[Kyler]

You got it. All right, next is Morgan. She went 10 out of 63 with a 15.9%.

[Lunchbox]

Gosh.

[Amy]

I won 10 games. That's what I see in that.

[Shane]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Pretty solid for me.

[Eddie]

Out of how many?

[Bobby Bones]

63 games.

[Eddie]

Hey, Morgan.

[Amy]

Okay, that's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I'm not sure how many people are on the list, but. Okay, there's Morgan. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Kyler]

And then we got Abby and this one, I kind of like it because she went seven out of 31 for 22.6%. But last year, she only went three for 26 for 11 and a half. So she almost got twice as good as last year. So therapy's paying off.

[Amy]

Therapy's paying off.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby spent money to go to a therapist to help her play games better because she got so nervous. Proven. It's data. Data says because. So two years ago, she. You say she was at 11% win.

[Kyler]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And then last year, she was at 22. Abby, good growth there. Double up. Nice job.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Kyler, next up.

[Kyler]

All right, so on President's Day, Bobby, you lost presidential trivia. And then you played around two, but there's only five questions instead of seven. And you won round two, but you only gave yourself a half of a point, so you ended at 23.5 out of 31 with a 78.3% win.

[Bobby Bones]

So 31 games. I won 23. 23 and a half.

[Eddie]

That's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

78 correct. Did they go?

[Kyler]

Yeah, which is good, because last year you only played.

[Lunchbox]

Let's see.

[Kyler]

Last year, you only played four games, and the year before, you only played 10 games. So you've really stepped up your game playing.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Appreciate that.

[Kyler]

Which is fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Thank you very much. Okay, does that mean they. The rest of you scored more than 78%?

[Eddie]

Nah, there's no way.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, you had the. No, they just. There's no chance.

[Kyler]

They just played way more games.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Kyler]

Oh, the five that didn't play very many games. And then Eddie, Amy, and Lunchbox played the most games. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so of the three, the three real players. Love it. The three real players. Who's in third? Third.

[Kyler]

You have lunchbox with 40 out of 173 with a 21.1%.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. Abby won more percentage than Lunchbox did. Yeah, but no, I mean, that's it.

[Eddie]

That's the percent percentage there.

[Kyler]

Abby was at 22.6, and lunchbox is 23.1.

[Bobby Bones]

Barely handled. Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

He barely got her.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought he said 21.

[Lunchbox]

Trying to. Don't downplay my accomplishments. 40.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys are basically the same. Abby and Lunchbox are basically the same at game plan.

[Lunchbox]

Not really.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so at three was lunchbox. Go ahead.

[Kyler]

All right, number two would be Amy at 57 out of 184 for 31%.

[Bobby Bones]

Nice job, Amy. How do you feel about that?

[Amy]

Feel okay?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't feel. You don't look good. Not happy about it.

[Eddie]

She thought she won.

[Amy]

No, I definitely didn't think I won, but I need to do better this year. I need to do better.

[Kyler]

You were in the lead in, like, the first half of the year.

[Amy]

Really? Did. Did we get any. How did you do the. The big. The big question game, you know, where we all had to answer a hundred questions.

[Kyler]

Yeah, I have. So after I'd say Eddie's. I have like nine bullet points of just like random notes.

[Eddie]

So we'll get there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we'll get over there. And then Eddie.

[Kyler]

And then Eddie went 60 out of 173 for 30 point. 34.7. And this is four years in a row that he has won the most games.

[Amy]

Okay, well, hey, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, you closed in.

[Amy]

That's so close. So 20, 26.

[Eddie]

That's your year.

[Amy]

I gotta get it together.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's a four time champion. Four years in a row.

[Eddie]

It's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

34.7%. Amy with 34%. Lunchbox with 22%.

[Eddie]

I will say I'm surprised by the results. I thought I was gonna actually lose for the first time.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. 78%.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. I mean, yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Almost every game you play, you win.

[Bobby Bones]

Not all.

[Amy]

That's kind of why you don't play them.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, oh.

[Eddie]

Is that why you choose not to plan? Because you just.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, mostly because, you know. Michael, do the work. I'll see him, we'll patch him up. You know. You know. Yeah, it didn't matter. Okay, what are your bullet points there, Kyler?

[Kyler]

All right, so that was. Those stats are only for like games that you all played against each other. So whenever it's just like one person playing for a caller, but they're not against somebody else on the show. I didn't count those. It's only verse each other.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's good.

[Kyler]

So Bobby, you beat Jesse the radio guy in the 1 second of song challenge. So that's a honorary mention.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember that when he came in, that was a strength. I really showed him how the unks do it. Yeah, go ahead.

[Kyler]

And then Eddie lost a single game on Cinco de Mayo.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

On his own day.

[Kyler]

On your own day percentage. Because it was just by himself. But he did lose that game.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's like George Washington losing on the 4th of July.

[Eddie]

Dude, it's not my day, guys.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Kyler]

Ultimate easy trivia 100 questions. And she won by five points.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Domination.

[Kyler]

So I don't know really how to put that into. Just noted with everything else.

[Lunchbox]

Just a little.

[Kyler]

But it is noted. Yeah. One of the fun facts, Amy this year won a feud with only one point.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I remember that one.

[Bobby Bones]

What was it?

[Amy]

I don't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

We played a Bobby Feud. I. I remember like thinking, mate, this one sucks because nobody got anything. You got one point.

[Amy]

Oh, sweet. Okay. Yeah, I recall that now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kyler]

Let's see. One game that Amy won was the acronym game, but it was just to see if Lunchbox knew. O, O, O.

[Bobby Bones]

So we were playing a game just to set him up to see if he knew what it was.

[Eddie]

Out of office.

[Lunchbox]

When I thought Scuba was rubbing it in my face that he was out of the. That he was on vacation. Ooh, I'm on vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

They meant out of office. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Kyler]

And, Bobby, you played against Amy, Eddie and Lunchbox combined on a country music lyrics game and won twice.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, nice. Yeah. They would call that in the 80s, a handicap match in wrestling.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you're handicapped. Because you can. You're only one playing three.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Or two. Yeah. All right. Anything else there?

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Kyler]

And then in 2022, I only did games one. I didn't keep track of games played and games one. But in 23, 24, and 25, I did. So the three year combined stat.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie]

I love this.

[Bobby Bones]

Cumulative.

[Kyler]

Yes. So you got Amy at 142 out of 508 for 28%. Lunchbox, 143 out of 500 for 28.6%.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom.

[Eddie]

Barely.

[Kyler]

Then Eddie at 181 out of 489 for 37%.

[Eddie]

Dang, dude. I mean, look at the difference.

[Lunchbox]

I got a question. Does he keep track of, like, never gonna get it? If we get it right, even if the caller doesn't win, do we get credit for a win on that? How does that work?

[Kyler]

I don't keep that one. That one's too any, like, gray area stat. I just don't acknowledge because then I don't want it to be.

[Bobby Bones]

Fair enough. Controversial.

[Shane]

Yeah, it's not.

[Kyler]

It's not a straight fact. Yeah, I don't want any gray area.

[Eddie]

Kyler, do you give us anything for investigative cornies?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Kyler]

No.

[Lunchbox]

How.

[Shane]

No, no.

[Kyler]

How would you do that? Yeah, like, if you get four, right. You guys all get four points.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be cool.

[Eddie]

She gets the point too, because she delivered the joke.

[Bobby Bones]

Then we're all even. Then.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, then that's.

[Bobby Bones]

Then we're all just even.

[Eddie]

Good point. That's why I'm not doing Kyler's job.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang. So, Kyler, what kind of job do you have? Can you tell us?

[Kyler]

Yeah, I'm a job site superintendent. Like, I just built the. We just built a new boys and Girls club in Springfield, Missouri. It's a senior for 10 or a center for teens. And then right now I'm building a new First Baptist Church.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Kyler]

Yeah, I just. I see the job from the time it's a field until it's a finished building with occupancy.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever come to Nashville?

[Kyler]

Oh, yeah, we've been a few times.

[Bobby Bones]

Next time you come, you should hit us up. We trust you now. You come up. Come up on the show.

[Kyler]

Oh, heck, yeah. Yeah, I was DMing with Scuba on TikTok, actually. He's like, hey, you got to come be on my show. Do a grip strength deal or something. That'd be fun.

[Bobby Bones]

A grip strength scuba.

[Lola]

What are you?

[Bobby Bones]

What are you? Dm?

[Eddie]

And dude, he's the same one that is. You're the. You're kind of the grip strength guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the same person. That's really cool.

[Eddie]

He does this thing on TikTok and we follow each other and he always comments on my. Is it classic rock? And he does this thing where he squeezes a thing and does. Challenges people for their grip strength.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it'd be kind of fun to come in and we do. Wait, are you. Are you an Internet personality, Kyler?

[Kyler]

Yeah, I've got. I've got a decent following on. On some stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

So he goes around and grips people.

[Eddie]

I think he has like 400,000 followers.

[Lola]

What?

[Eddie]

Yeah, Kyler, he can confirm that he's.

[Bobby Bones]

A guy slow playing.

[Eddie]

You're famous.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he does have. He has 486,000 followers.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

He has one video with 10 and a half million likes. He has another video. He's more famous than lunchboxes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, stop.

[Eddie]

Kyler. What are you squeezing, dude? What are you gripping?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just saying on video, on viral videos, it's a.

[Kyler]

It's called a dynamometer. So there's a lot of, like, relation between, like, overall health and grip strength. Like, you were to take a dynamometer into, like an old person home. More than likely the person that squeezed the hardest will, like, they have the longest potential lifespan. So there's. That's kind of how I got into it. And then I started testing my guys on the job site, like put my concrete guys versus my electricians or whatever, and it just turned into a fun, fun challenge.

[Amy]

He's got to bring the grip of monitor here.

[Bobby Bones]

We need to do the thermometer.

[Amy]

What's it called?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Kyler]

A dynamometer.

[Amy]

Oh, dynamometer.

[Bobby Bones]

I like grip omometer.

[Eddie]

If I'm being honest, it makes more sense.

[Amy]

Oh. I mean, I'm watching his page now and yeah, everyone's just squeezing as tight as they can.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. His name is KYLER Ennis on TikTok and he had again, the video he has up first has 10 million streams and then.

[Amy]

What's this?

[Bobby Bones]

Pizza.

[Amy]

One of you with 3 million.

[Kyler]

I called a bunch of places trying to see who could make me the best version of a Ninja Turtle style pizza.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude's that good on the Internet, Tyler, that's amazing. I've seen.

[Kyler]

I wanted to get like the cheat the best cheese pool pizza possible.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're all freaking out because he's famous in different ways to all of us.

[Eddie]

Hey, we're not all freaking out. There's one person that hasn't hadn't said anything like dead silence.

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm looking at his face.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you jealous of Kyler?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

It's really not that interesting.

[Amy]

See, it actually is. Oh my gosh. There's one of them.

[Kyler]

I sometimes wonder why there's followers too. I don't think it's very interesting either. Just sometimes things hit, you know, you.

[Amy]

Almost have a million views of you laying like the buc ee's beaver is holding you and you're eating the like. And it has almost a million views.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me compare a couple of things here. Kylo Rennes on TikTok has 486,000 followers. Lunchbox has 13,000 followers.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't ever. I try. I don't ever really post over there.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

We got a celebrity on the phone.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, dude.

[Amy]

Hey, Kyler. Destiny.

[Lunchbox]

I don't even see the.

[Bobby Bones]

We should go to his studio, right? He's more famous than we are.

[Lunchbox]

Stopping.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. She has another one with a million. What are you doing in front of the police station, Tyler?

[Eddie]

Are you getting paid for these TikToks, like, big money.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you do it on Instagram too?

[Shane]

So.

[Kyler]

Yeah, my Instagram. I'm just trying to. I'm trying to really grow that. I've only got like 40,000 on Instagram. Then I've got about a hundred thousand subs on YouTube, but none of my videos ever get any views. So I don't know. I don't even know how I got that many subs because my views are trash on there.

[Bobby Bones]

That is extreme sub. 100,000. That's. That's a lot.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Kyler]

Just. I had just a couple videos that. I think there's one of them. I think it was actually that COP1 on YouTube got like 24 million views. And so that got. That got a lot of subscribers pretty quick.

[Amy]

Oh, he did the grip and monitor. Firefighters versus Police. That one has a lot of views.

[Kyler]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you find with the grip thing that people with bigger arms have stronger grips or does that have nothing to do with really how big their shoulders or arms are?

[Kyler]

It really. I've tested like some IFBB, like bodybuilders, and they pulled about like 140, 150 pounds. And then. Which isn't. It's better than average, but nothing crazy. And then I'll test. I test this one guy, he was a. A bull rider and he was like probably 6 to 170 pounds, like real skinny. And he pulled over 170 pound grip. Really?

[Shane]

It's.

[Kyler]

It's crazy. You just never. You. I've tested, I don't even know probably over a thousand people at this point, and you still can't ever tell who's actually going to be good at it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's pretty interesting, I feel like, because I. We used to do drywall and we used to do seawalls, so we have a bunch of care and especially sea walls. We have to carry those buckets up. I feel like those guys that do that every day, like, they would develop such hand strength, like grip strength, but they weren't big dudes. That's crazy. All right, well, it's. This is a big get for us here.

[Eddie]

We have a celebrity on the show, flipped us around.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even about us anymore. It's about him. All right, hey, Kyler, when you come up, come up, like, next time you come to Nashville, hit us up. Bring that in. We'll shoot some content on it.

[Lunchbox]

And I'm not gonna be a part of his page.

[Eddie]

Why not?

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you not? Because he'll tag you in it. You'll get more followers.

[Lunchbox]

All right, maybe, Yeah. I don't think about that.

[Eddie]

Why are you hating on him?

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, no, he didn't do anything to upset you. He did nothing except volunteer his time and keep track of our stats.

[Lunchbox]

A little shady on the stat. Keep him, but that's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Shady as in you think he's incorrect.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like, when I win, you know, never gonna get it. That's a win. Not getting credit for it.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't know that you win that more than anybody else. I don't think you do. Okay.

[Amy]

Wow, you're handy.

[Bobby Bones]

Who, Kyler? Yeah.

[Amy]

Around his house.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, he's got a wife. He's got a wife. I see her in the video.

[Amy]

People like the DIY tips and the. He has a lot to offer.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, there's a pregnancy test One on there. Okay. Like he has a woman.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Kyler. Hey, we appreciate you. And, yeah, next time you come up, come all the way up in the studio. We'd love to take the test and meet you ourself.

[Kyler]

That would be awesome, man. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Kyler, hope you have a good rest of the day, man.

[Kyler]

All right, you too.

[Bobby Bones]

See you later. Yeah, that'll do it for today. Do you have a new podcast up today?

[Amy]

Yeah, I do. It's our couch talks where we do listener questions and emails, and we're talking fear and using your voice.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, fear of it. Well, fear of speaking up.

[Amy]

Yeah, fear of speaking up. Some of that has to do with me, but we got a voicemail from a caller that was talking about it and specifically my concern on retaliation.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like you have gotten a lot better at that, at speaking up. But also, you're more scared of being retaliated against a little bit.

[Savannah]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I clarified.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what happened to make you think this. Something had to happen in your life, that you always feel like someone's gonna retaliate against you.

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know. Mine's more alike.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it when you had meth at your house?

[Amy]

I'm not gonna. No, it's happened before that.

[Eddie]

Could it be the shows that you watch?

[Lunchbox]

It is 100% potentially.

[Amy]

But, you know, it's just like, I'm not gonna ruffle feathers with the Uber driver or the doordash person or the. No, just keep the peace. Like, I'm not gonna. I'm always gonna give a tip. I'm always gonna give a good review. Like, it's not that. But if it's like, someone's safety is at play here, like, I'm gonna speak up or like, the time I got my kids bikes back.

[Bobby Bones]

You did that?

[Amy]

I confronted those kids, but they were kids, and I did not know that they were dangerous at the time, so.

[Eddie]

And the cops said.

[Amy]

A police officer reprimanded me. It was like, yeah, glad you got the bikes back, but don't ever do that again. And I was like, okay. So then that probably added a little more fear of, like, okay, now I'm not gonna confront children, so I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I would confront more children, just less adults. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that'd be my specialty. Do you need some children confronted? I'm personal.

[Eddie]

I got you.

[Amy]

I did. I was proud of myself. I did go to the car wash the other day and confront them.

[Bobby Bones]

More kids?

[Amy]

No, adults. The car wash. I went back because I. I noticed something was off on my car, and I wanted to.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you guys understand why she kept saying car wash? I felt so lost when you said.

[Amy]

I went to the car, I went to the car wash. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to give us context.

[Amy]

Okay. So I went to. Through the car wash, like, where the machine does it.

[Bobby Bones]

We're familiar with the car wash. And I came out.

[Eddie]

It's got these brushes, big, big brushes.

[Bobby Bones]

You go in, your car's dirty, you come out, it's not dirty anymore. You know, that kind of car wash.

[Amy]

And immediately after that, I went to the grocery store, and I guess in my brain, I know what my rims look like, even though I don't really pay attention to my rims, you know? But I'm getting in, and my driver's side rims, like, something looked off. And sure enough, like, the. In the center, there's, like, this paint, and it's gone. So I go around to the passenger side. It's there, and I think it registered to my brain. It's not like it's been that way for days, because I think my brain just would have picked up on it, even though it's not something I painted. Does that make sense?

[Bobby Bones]

Your brain's been struggling a bit. But anyway, go ahead.

[Amy]

No, this was. I felt like this just happened because I just went to the car wash. So I drove back, and I wasn't accusatory at all, because, again, don't want to get retaliated. They know they have my driver's license. Like, I don't need them coming after me. So I was very kind, but it was me practicing, like, speaking up for myself and just at least out of curiosity, getting answers.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you say?

[Amy]

I just said, how have y'. All. Have y' all ever say it like that?

[Bobby Bones]

They're stuttering. I'm not hearing a lot.

[Amy]

But I was like, hi. Have y' all ever seen this happen before? So I'm curious if this has ever been a thing. I don't know. So I'm just asking questions.

[Eddie]

You seem nervous telling us.

[Savannah]

I know.

[Eddie]

I'm assuming you're really nervous.

[Amy]

I was. So there was a power washer guy. When I entered the car wash, there was a guy that power washes, and he was only on the driver's side. And so I thought, perhaps, could his power wash have hit my tire and it been on a higher level, and maybe it took it off? Cause I said my passenger side is fine. So they pulled the videotape.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

And they have footage. And his power Washer never really hit my rim. So there went that theory. And then I said, well, perhaps could the chemicals on the left side.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, she's Karen reading it. She's hiring expert witnesses to come in and deliver.

[Amy]

Be stronger than the chemicals on the right side. And he was like, gosh, I don't know. We've just never had this happen. And I said, okay. And I carried on and I went on my way, but I was just proud of myself for doing my little investigative work because.

[Bobby Bones]

So nothing happened from all that.

[Amy]

I got nothing from it other than I practiced speaking up and asking questions in a kind, thoughtful, non accusatory way. Because sure, maybe it could be from wear and tear.

[Eddie]

No, like you hitting something.

[Amy]

No, no, this isn't a hit.

[Eddie]

No, you scraped something.

[Amy]

No, you didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at the videos of Amy driving around town.

[Amy]

I think we'll find the center of the rim point being. I practiced. Like, normally I would have left the grocery store and never gone back to the car wash, but it was on the way back home, so I was like, might as well pop in there and just ask them questions.

[Eddie]

Did you feel like an idiot when you were done?

[Amy]

No, I actually was proud of myself because I. I would have felt like an idiot if I was rude and accusatory. Yeah. But I didn't. I practice speaking up because what if they pulled the video footage and they're like, oh, dang, you're right. He straight up power washed that thing right off.

[Bobby Bones]

They definitely could have.

[Eddie]

He's got like a face like, I'll show her.

[Amy]

Yeah, so practice.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. Anyway, check out Amy's podcast.

[Amy]

[Eddie]

See Terms this is Radhi Devlukia from A really good Cry I absolutely love being outdoors. Even if it's just stepping outside for a bit of fresh air between meals or taking a mindful walk to clear my hand head. But the one thing that can really ruin that is when my feet feel cramped in my shoes. So I switched to ultra running and honestly, it made such a difference. What I love most is their signature Ultra Fit Comfort Balance strength. They have this roomy toe box that lets my toes actually spread and move naturally. And I personally have some wide feet so I really appreciate that. I feel more grounded and balanced with every single step. It's like my feet can finally do their job using all those little muscles that make me feel stronger the more I move.
