[Listener/Caller]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to Tuesday's show, morning Studio.

[Eddie]

Morning, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to play the voicemail that lunchbox sent. He's sick. Lunchbox is not here today. He's sick a lot.

[Amy]

What are you gonna say more than anybody else here?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, and then we say that I'm never sick.

[Eddie]

It's allergies.

[Bobby Bones]

How long is the clip, Ray? That he sent in 10 seconds. Okay, here you go. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Not Gonna risk it. Man, I sell my crap. I don't want to take a chance. Don't want Bobby to kill me.

[Eddie]

Well, yeah, no kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

But he takes a chance all the time and comes in sick all the time.

[Amy]

Yeah, but that one's pretty bad.

[Eddie]

You know what's so frustrating about that is, like, I don't want Bobby to know. What about the rest of it? You're getting us all sick. Like, forget Bobby's going to kill you because you are going to kill him.

[Bobby Bones]

But I, I. I kill him because he's getting everybody sick.

[Eddie]

I know, but he doesn't think about that.

[Amy]

Well, is it because he's thinking that. Is it potentially allergies and he.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Would you. I don't think it sounds like allergies. I think that sounds okay.

[Amy]

Oh, he says, I don't want to risk it. Like, would be allergies or not. Like, we can't risk it one more time.

[Bobby Bones]

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Not going to risk it, Man, I sell that CR to take a chance. Don't want Bobby to kill me. So he's not here today. Eddie go after the bonehead.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

But what? Every. A lot of people have kids. Eddie has four kids. And Eddie. Eddie doesn't. He's always like, my kids get me sick. Eddie has four kids and he doesn't come in?

[Eddie]

S. No, I never get sick.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think the answer is?

[Amy]

Weakened immune system. Some.

[Eddie]

But you would think the more you're sick, the stronger your immune system is. Right.

[Amy]

But his just is.

[Bobby Bones]

His was so weak. It takes so much strengthening. So that's where we are today. There was a story, too, where there are all these eye drops that have been recalled. We were talking about a recall yesterday. All these eye drops are recalled because they may not be sterile. So you could be putting something into your eye that has bacteria or it's from UPI. More than 3 million bottles of eye drops sold at stores across the United States have been recalled because they may not be sterile. Pharmaceuticals earlier this month issued a nationwide U.S. recall of 3.1 million bottles of eight different eye drop products because of lack of assurance of sterility. The drops have been sold at cvs, heb, Publix, Walgreens, and it really doesn't say exactly the kinds. In a new store, you'd hope to hear the kind.

[Amy]

Yeah, I would just. I. If I. When I see stuff like that, sometimes I'm like, okay, I'm just gonna throw out whatever I have and start over.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, if it's a bottle of eye drops, obviously, if it's far more expensive, I'm gonna look for the number and try to put it on.

[Bobby Bones]

But dang, Richie Rich, just tossing out eye drops like that.

[Eddie]

Hey, like Lunchbox. Don't risk it.

[Amy]

Okay? I didn't know a bottle of eye drops was breaking the bank.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, lunchbox is not here, so fy, everybody. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been dating this girl for a while. I like her, but she refers to her pets as her children. I mean, fully committed. She talks about them like toddlers. Even jumps into conversations with our friends who have kids and saying, I've been through the same thing. I don't think there's anything I can do to change my girlfriend. It's clearly who she is. How do I keep my friends from going over the edge about something that probably isn't worth the blow up, even though they're so annoyed by her? Do I ask her to let it go? Do I try to redirect conversations? Is there a better way to handle this? Signed boyfriend of a fur baby mom. So she's gonna feel this way until she has kids? Our dogs now are going through a problem where they're like, why aren't we getting attention? And they're getting a little bit. But there's definitely. Yes. We're still. We have a newborn, still less than four weeks old, so I'm sure the dogs will get a bit more attention. But I think there are times where my dogs were absolutely the most important things. Like, no doubt. Especially when I was single, I took my dog everywhere, but I never refer to it as a baby. That's a weird thing.

[Amy]

No, Your dog was always your friend.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm like, my best friend.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

If we were talking about my kids and you said, oh, my gosh, Stanley does the same thing, I would be so annoyed with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I don't know that I would get annoyed, but I'd be like, that's really weird.

[Bobby Bones]

But if I did it a bunch of times and I really meant it, I think you would get.

[Amy]

And I would be, like, interesting. You have that type of relationship with your cat or your dog.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you say to him about her? I think it's just something he has to put up with. I don't really think it's anything that he can say to change it. I think she loves those animals so much, and I get that. I don't think there's really a conversation that you can have to go like, hey, stop talking about how can you

[Amy]

approach it with curiosity? Like here I would say to you, Bobby, I wonder, I wonder if when you compare your dog to, to their baby, if that's weird, if they get annoyed by it. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder if still I feel like that would, that would feel like an attack. I think you just live with it and be happy that she loves animals.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think she'll grow out of

[Amy]

it when she has kids, probably.

[Bobby Bones]

Or she's also like in her 20. I mean, I don't know. I feel like you get a more responsible. I listen, I never loved my animals less. But you can't take a baby and put it in a kennel for two hours because you're leaving. Or at least that I know of, you're not able to do that. So it's not the same. So I think you just, you just put up with it for a while.

[Amy]

Suck it up, buttercup.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And if she continues so much where you can't stand it, break up with her. Break up with.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But it's okay. I think it's a net positive. She loves animals so much. That's great. That's a, that's a key ingredient to someone who is the generous and empathetic and loving. So. Yes. But it, I can be annoying for sure. Good luck with that, buddy. Let us know when that doesn't work anymore. We have a segment we do called what's Wrong with People? What's Wrong with People? This first one. And so people were climbing Mount Everest, and it turns out that some of the guides were poisoning the climbers because when they had to call the helicopter to save them, that would cost money and they would all split the money.

[Amy]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

So listen to this from CBS morning. So this is an investigation. People were climbing Mount Everest. It turns out they were getting poisoned.

[Amy]

Lisa.

[Bobby Bones]

Nepal told the newspaper that guides would put baking powder into climbers food to make them unwell or give them drugs

[Amy]

to induce symptoms of altitude sickness. So they thought they were being affected by the altitude.

[Bobby Bones]

So this would then trigger emergency helicopter rescues.

[Amy]

And the insurance payout guys would allegedly be split up by the guides, the

[Bobby Bones]

helicopter company, even the hospitals were getting in on it.

[Amy]

Yes. Investigators say that they have evidence of

[Bobby Bones]

several hundred fake rescues between 2020 and 2025.

[Amy]

Millions of dollars, dirty dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

They'd figured out a way to game the system. And so they're making people sick and then splitting the payment for having to rescue them.

[Amy]

But you're making people sick on a lifelong mission.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't Give a crap. Well, like they literally don't give a crap.

[Amy]

I can see that. Yeah, but what a bummer. You finally make it to Everest and then you get have to get helicoptered off because someone poisoned you.

[Bobby Bones]

What about all the people hearing this story? They got sick climbing Everest. They had no idea. They thought they literally got altitude poisoning or sick and they're going, oh, my God, that's me. I had to be rescued.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's wrong with people?

[Eddie]

What's wrong with people?

[Bobby Bones]

I have another one. This guy in Florida, he saw a guy and he's going to tell you about it. His car is like broken down. He's laying on the ground. So he pulls over on the highway to help him. Luckily, he drives a Tesla and has a camera. The other dude just started beating the crap out of him. The guy jumps up from the ground. He like, lured him in, hit it. I saw a car crash.

[Eddie]

I saw a door open.

[Bobby Bones]

So being a good person, any human being would see you would just pull over to check. As Hamilton parks his Tesla, the man, the red T shirt appeared to be lying motionless on the ground. Hey, are you okay? Are you okay?

[Eddie]

No response.

[Bobby Bones]

As soon as I opened that car door, he was off that ground. So he was waiting. This video from a camera in his car shows the man hop on the hood of the Tesla and he starts stomping on the windshield. Pulled me out of my car as

[Eddie]

I was falling backwards.

[Bobby Bones]

He was jumping off the roof on top of me. Deputies arrested Coleman for battery and criminal mischief for what he did to Hamilton and his car. He says he's grateful for the kindness of strangers who are making donations on his GoFundMe page for his auto and medical bills. You see in the clip, this guy jump up because again, the Tesla has the cameras and starts beating the crap out of him. I'm talking about in a headlock. And then the cops got there and he beat up a cop until they finally got him restrained.

[Amy]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

The guy was just trying to help. Yeah, that's from WESH 2 Orlando. What's wrong with people?

[Eddie]

What's wrong with people?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what do you have?

[Amy]

I saw a guy being interviewed about if his girlfriend were to get pregnant, what would he do? And he said, well, if she's pregnant with a boy, I'm staying. If she's pregnant with a girl, I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

Where did he say this?

[Amy]

Just on the being interviewed. And I was like, what is wrong with people? Like, I mean, he may just be

[Bobby Bones]

saying this without it happening.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, it was a hypothetical, but like, men really think that way.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's probably just being funny in an interview.

[Amy]

I.

[Listener/Caller]

He.

[Amy]

It felt like a big red flag.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not disagreeing with that.

[Amy]

It felt.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't see it. So it felt serious.

[Amy]

I feel like it felt serious to me to where I was like, man, Bobby just had a girl and that's amazing. And women are. Girls are awesome. Like, you'd be missing out. I just was thinking if I see my boyfriend on the news, like answering that question.

[Bobby Bones]

I was on the news now tick tock.

[Amy]

Well, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, that's the difference because you might be drunk in a bar. Okay, he wasn't.

[Amy]

It was the middle of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll give it to you. Go ahead.

[Amy]

It's the middle of the day. If I see. Okay, fine. If I see my boyfriend, I'm scrolling tick tock and I see a viral crib of my clip of my boyfriend saying, if I get pregnant with a girl, he's out, he's leaving me, I'm going to be mortified.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so say it.

[Amy]

What's wrong with people?

[Eddie]

What's wrong with people?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, do you have one?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I do. So there's a guy in Southern California that got arrested for breaking into cars at a cemetery during funerals. Like, so people were mourning the dead person. They get to their car and it's like, somebody broke into my car.

[Bobby Bones]

Who does that?

[Amy]

Oh, that's like the people that actually watch the obituaries to see what time the funerals are. And then they go to their homes because they know they're going to be busy and they rob them.

[Bobby Bones]

It's terrible. Say it.

[Eddie]

What's wrong with people?

[Bobby Bones]

What's wrong with people? Eddie says someone is graffiti ing his neighborhood.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're spray painting stuff. Street signs, you know, telephone poles. Even a house that's being built inside. They tagged it all with spray paint.

[Bobby Bones]

Are they writing any bad on it?

[Eddie]

They're writing a certain word and I don't even want to say the word just in case they're listening because we're going to catch them.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean?

[Eddie]

So me and a couple other dads, we have these shifts that we're doing. We're gonna stay up all night and we're gonna catch these guys. We think they're kids. Like, there's no way these are adults.

[Amy]

Are you worried they might be armed?

[Eddie]

No. Armed with a spray can? Like spray paint?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I wouldn't think they were armed.

[Amy]

Okay. I would be so nervous.

[Bobby Bones]

And you Guys are gonna stay awake through the night.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I have Friday and Saturday because I told them guys, I have a weird, like, work schedule. I can't stay up all night on the weekdays, but Friday night, Saturday night, stay up with some beers, watching the neighborhood. I'm down.

[Bobby Bones]

You're going to stay up all night long?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Drive around with beers. Maybe you shouldn't do that.

[Eddie]

Okay. Walk around with a flashlight, something. But I'm going to catch these kids.

[Amy]

If you walk around with a flashlight, you'll deter them.

[Eddie]

Oh, so hide.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to dress all in black.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if you're driving around, don't drive.

[Amy]

I mean, I wouldn't even drive on foot in black. But make sure people know that you're. You're. That's your shift. Because then they're going to come get you. Think you're the guy?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if you're not spraying things.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's just me and two other dads.

[Amy]

Okay, so.

[Bobby Bones]

And what are you going to do if you see them?

[Eddie]

Call the other dads. Be like, I got them. I got eyes on them. What do we do now?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think you should come up with a plan before you run into them cops.

[Eddie]

I mean, you got. Right. That's illegal to vandalize. Yeah.

[Amy]

Can you give the cops a heads up?

[Bobby Bones]

I would call the cops first before I would do any sort of like, Spider man dad group.

[Eddie]

Oh, really? Yeah, probably neighborhood watch.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'd probably be like, hey, we got people spray painting. We're gonna try to figure out who it is. But what do we do in case we find them?

[Amy]

That's what I would do. Because neighborhood watches are encouraged by police, so they want that. But yeah, I would want. That's a good idea, Bobby. You need to get a game plan. And I think calling the police to get the game plan is good.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I. Well, some neighborhoods have the sign. It's like Neighborhood Watch.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I used to get so jealous, though, when people would adopt a highway and I'd see their name up on the sign. I'd drive by and be like, dang, they got their name on a sign. Adopt a highway. Did you guys ever have that back in the day?

[Amy]

I was never jealous of it.

[Bobby Bones]

But you would see the signs, you drive by and be like, the next Miles adopted by. And you didn't get jealous that you weren't on one of those signs?

[Amy]

No, no, man.

[Eddie]

I never saw anyone cleaning up either. Like, I saw.

[Bobby Bones]

And sometimes I see trash on the road and those. I'll be like, that place sucks.

[Amy]

Oh, y' all would never see prison workers cleaning up.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not Adopt a Highway. Adopt a highway is like a company or a church, and their name gets to be on the sign. And then we celebrate them every time we drive by.

[Eddie]

I wonder how much that is. Now that you're older, do you want to adopt free? To adopt a highway, you just have

[Amy]

to point it clean.

[Bobby Bones]

You have to keep it clean.

[Eddie]

Oh, that makes sense. I thought they actually paid money to have that highway.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

And you can tell everyone from there on out, like, that's my highway. That mile right there.

[Amy]

We could do a section and then go clean it together.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm good. I'm good on the sign thing now, but as a kid, I was very jealous.

[Amy]

You can finally get something you used to be jealous of and have my own sign.

[Bobby Bones]

I have my own sign in my neighborhood.

[Eddie]

That's true. And you don't have to clean up

[Bobby Bones]

any trash in your neighborhood. Where I grew up. Oh, yeah. I have it in my own neighborhood. Welcome to Bobby's house. It's generally free for volunteers who perform the cleanup themselves with tools provided by the state.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I was always jealous when he drove by. Nobody ever did adopt the highway, huh?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Well, Scuba, what's up?

[Eddie]

Well, I have a street here in Nashville. I adopted Main street, you know, between, like, kind of where Nissan Stadium is right there.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean you adopted it? I adopted.

[Eddie]

I'm like you as a kid. I was always like, this is so freaking cool. You could adopt a street, and then.

[Bobby Bones]

Is your name on it?

[Eddie]

Yeah, it says Scuba Steve Radio, and it says 105, 9, the rock underneath it. I own, like, a mask. Massive part of Nashville going into. Well, it is my street, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, just like you. You clean it.

[Eddie]

I clean it four times a year. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I put my name on the street.

[Eddie]

And you actually clean it. Yeah. I go out there with my wife,

[Bobby Bones]

and your name's on the sign. Yeah. I'm jealous again.

[Amy]

I just suggested this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't want to do it. It is a lot of work. It's four times a year. Who has time for that? That's pretty cool, Scuba Steve.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man. Bones.

[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today. People who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that. Nice to know. Also, plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Eddie]

It feels good to get good news.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels good to Geico.

[Amy]

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] from Geico Subconscious News, I'm Tammy. Racing thoughts tonight. You just left for work and had a non specific feeling that something was happening to your place and it wasn't good. Dan.

[Eddie]

Exactly, Tammy.

[Bobby Bones]

It could be smoke damage, theft or just too much caffeine, but you can't stop thinking about it.

[Amy]

But with renters insurance through geico, your stuff is covered so you don't have to worry.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's great because the the weekend is coming up and it's chock full of social obligations that are ready to fill that void.

[Amy]

Oh boy, will they, dad. It feels good to worry less. It feels good to Geico.

[Bobby Bones]

Before we had AT&T business Wireless coverage,

[Eddie]

our delivery GPS wasn't the most reliable. Once our driver had to do a 14 point turn to get back on route.

[Bobby Bones]

A 14 point turn.

[Eddie]

An influencer even livestream the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Not good for business. Now with AT T Business Wireless routes

[Eddie]

are updating on the fly and deliveries are on time. And the influencer did get us 53 new followers though.

[Bobby Bones]

@t business wireless connecting changes everything. Can you name a song from Switch Foot if you can't sing it?

[Amy]

Switch Foot?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they don't sing the name of the band. We were meant to live so much.

[John Foreman]

Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Bobby Bones]

John Foreman of Sweet Switch Foot. So why did you guys get dropped at that fourth record?

[John Foreman]

We played a show in New York for the head of Sony and he walked out second song after saying a couple expletives and did not like us and thought we were not a good band.

[Bobby Bones]

So he saw you play.

[John Foreman]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And dropped you based off a song?

[John Foreman]

He actually, I think he walked out during a song called Dare you to move which ended up being.

[Bobby Bones]

No way.

[John Foreman]

One of our bigger songs. Yeah, we finished the show and we're, we're thinking, man, that, that went pretty good. Right? And our manager's like, no it did not. I Don't think it went well at all. And I think you guys got dropped and it ended up being the best thing that could have happened to us.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[John Foreman]

Because we were then relegated to this. Basically the farm team of Sony, which was red. That was a big turning point for us and I don't think it would have happened on Sony. So I, I, that's what I mean. It was a blessing in disguise.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the success story of Ment to Live meant?

[John Foreman]

To Live was a song. It still feels true for me. And when I say was, I feel like I should say is. It still is a song that feels like it resonates. There's several lines in it that feel more poignant now and almost prescient than it than when I wrote them. We want more than the wars of our fathers. That line every night when I sing that, especially now and being a dad, that feels, feels like a very poignant line. Meant to live did that for a lot of people where it, it resonated with them and it felt like that fist in the air kind of moment where they want to sing along with it.

[Bobby Bones]

Was there a television performance or was it MTV or was it a radio? Like what was kind of the lever that actually like popped that song?

[John Foreman]

Well, I mean, we did all of them. You mentioned, you know, we're talking about the BC boys on Letterman. Yeah, we did Letterman, we did Leno, we did mtv. There was one moment where the last minute we were added to a radio show at Madison Square Garden in New York City. And it was a last minute thing. And they said, hey, we want you to go out and play a couple songs just acoustic.

[Bobby Bones]

Just you.

[John Foreman]

Now that I'm thinking of it, it was very odd. William Hung, I remember William Hung was the ash immediately before us. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She bangs Americans.

[John Foreman]

Yeah, but you've got like Destiny's Child and Maroon 5 and all these people. Everyone's backstage. And so I remember walking on stage with just an acoustic guitar and playing meant to live on the acoustic guitar and having the entire Madison Square Garden singing along with me. And that was a moment where I thought, wow, they all know this song. This, that's, that's incredible. And those are moments that I feel like that is why I do what I do. Whether it's a arena or, or 14 people backstage. Or it could be I do after shows where the show will finish and I'll go to the parking lot in the back and send out a tweet or Instagram and say, hey, let's keep the night going. Where Multiple people are all singing the same thing. When I was in high school, going to the punk show or church or where, wherever, it felt like, oh, I resonate with this. I feel like I belong somewhere. And in that moment, msg, it felt like, oh, I'm a part of something bigger.

[Eddie]

The Bobby Bones Show.

[Bobby Bones]

If you want to hear that full interview, just go search for the Bobby cast on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcast. Bones. I have a bulldog named Stanley. He had a cut on his eyeball, and so we've been dealing with that. We didn't know if we're gonna have to go in for surgery. Do you know they have dog eye doctors? Not a vet. A dog ophthalmologist.

[Amy]

I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

I had no idea.

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

A dog ophthalmologist.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Eddie]

Because I have an optometrist.

[Bobby Bones]

For a dog.

[Eddie]

No, no, for me.

[Bobby Bones]

So I go and we take him in because the vet's like, we can't fix it. We go, like, no surgery needed, but, like, his second layer was cut, so they had to do some of this first layer to get to a second layer. And then I'm like, you only do eyes as a dog doctor. She's like, yeah, I'm a dog ophthalmologist. That's crazy that there are that many dogs that have eye problems that they can just have an office of just doing dog eyes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I asked what they made. Well, I mean, I didn't ask her. They make around $300,000 a year.

[Amy]

Not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good to be a dog eye doctor. It's one of the hardest veterinary special specialists to get into vet school residency. I just didn't know there'd be a dog eye doctor just doing eyes. I felt like that's pretty crazy.

[Amy]

That seems so specific. You'd think that.

[Bobby Bones]

Nor is there a dog foot doctor.

[Amy]

Yeah, like a podiatrist.

[Bobby Bones]

A dog diatrist.

[Amy]

Yeah. Paul. Paul, podiatrist. Yeah. Dang it. I tried to go there.

[Bobby Bones]

I went to the pediatrician with our kid. And do you know 17 year olds go to the pediatrician?

[Amy]

Well, as long as you're an adolescent. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're not an adult, you go to the pediatrician.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You can still go to the same doctor.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because when my daughter turned 18, she still is seeing her same pediatrician, but we had to sign over paperwork because now that she's 18, but she can still see her, and then eventually she'll. She'll move on. But she didn't because she was still in high school. Like, we didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I was confused because it was like three babies in there and there's like a 17 year old with a mustache.

[Amy]

Yeah. The waiting rooms are. Sometimes I'm like, do I want to wait in here? There's a lot of little children.

[Bobby Bones]

It felt a bit like when I was getting allergy shots because I was an adult man. And then there were a bunch of kids. It was me and a bunch of 12 year olds. Yeah, it was parents and their 12 year olds. Then me just in there and they'd be like, bobby. Then I would go back and get my allergy shots every week.

[Listener/Caller]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I didn't know you could be 17 and still go to the baby doctor.

[Amy]

Well, pediatrician. It's a kid. Baby, kid. I know Baby toddler.

[Bobby Bones]

When you walk in, the walls say baby. Oh, it's like the cartoon drawings all drawn. Fishes and fish tanks and all that. Wake up, wake up in the morning.

[Geico Gecko]

Trying to put you through M. Riding his wigs.

[Bobby Bones]

Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is?

[Geico Gecko]

This is the Bobby Bone story.

[Bobby Bones]

Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy]

Why did the old man fall in the well?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Amy]

He couldn't see that well.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, That was the morning corny. All right, Tuesday reviews day. Did you finish anything, Amy?

[Amy]

No, not a TV show. Movie. Special permission for a book.

[John Foreman]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Amy]

This book is so good. It's called Theo of Golden. And you. If you're paying attention to books, everyone's talking about it. And I'm so excited that I finished it. And it just is. It's so good. I can't stop smiling about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Fiction, Non fiction.

[Amy]

It's a novel.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's fake?

[Amy]

Yes, fiction.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that what a novel is?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. I didn't know. I don't know the difference.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a mysterious, kind stranger named Theo.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You liked it. What do you rate it?

[Amy]

5 out of 5? 10 out of 10.

[Bobby Bones]

We can't even make a new.

[Amy]

I forget what we do.

[Bobby Bones]

Five out of five.

[Amy]

Okay. Five kind gifts out of five.

[Bobby Bones]

Theo, a quiet, compassionate man, purchases 92 portraits of local people and gives them to the subjects, asking only for their stories in return. That's the plot.

[Eddie]

That sounds cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, read it.

[Eddie]

No, I'm not reading that. How long is it?

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. If I. I guarantee you, after Eddie finishes this book, if he truly thinks he'll ever donate an organ, he might just sign up.

[Bobby Bones]

It's only 400 pages. Eddie hasn't read a book in how many years?

[Eddie]

No, I read the Matthew McConaughey green lights.

[Amy]

Yeah, but how many years?

[Eddie]

Three years ago? Four years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

That's longer than that.

[Eddie]

Five years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. He says he doesn't read. I've given him some books. How many books have read in your life?

[Eddie]

Four.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's good. Well, I'm not shaming him.

[Amy]

Yeah, not at all.

[Eddie]

Perfect Storm. That's a good one. The one they made in a movie. I read that book.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. 2020 was green light. So six years.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Six years ago I watched. Is this thing on? Mike, have you seen that? I'm not.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that stand up?

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of. It's a part of it, yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's about it. It's very much an adult movie. Meaning it's not dirty, but it's like about the dynamics of a relationship. They're married, stuff goes on. He then does some stand up comedy. He's not good at it. He stumbles into it and, you know, relationship stuff happens. I give it four out of five Mike microphones. But Will Arnett's in it, Laura Dern's in it. Bradley Cooper's in it. Yeah, I was wanting more comedy and it really wasn't about that. It's. It's very adult relationship dynamic. But it was good. And it's. Is this thing on four out of five microphones? So don't watch it with your kids. Peyton Manning's in it.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

He actually accented a little bit.

[Eddie]

Not. He's so. He's not as Peyton.

[Bobby Bones]

He's not as Peyton Manning. That's cool. It's weird. It's pretty good. But it's weird because you just can't not see Peyton Manning doing it. Mike, you say anything? Yeah, I watched the new Robert Pattinson Zendaya movie called the Drama. So I heard there's like a. That movie is like not what you expect. It's not what you expect at all. It starts out as a rom com, takes a turn and then goes kind of thriller. Almost feels like a horror movie at times. Really? Yeah, I thought it was really good, but I think it's one that you either love it or you hate it. I think everybody in this movie would. Everybody in this room would watch it and have a different reaction to it. And it's called what the drama. What do you rate it? I give it 4.5. Out of 5 weddings. Is it only in theaters? Only in theaters. Hey, tell me in three Months hit me up then. Eddie?

[Eddie]

No, nothing. I'm almost done with some. A couple of shows, but nothing yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Amy]

I finished Paradise. That show is just the best show I have watched in so many years.

[Bobby Bones]

The best show on tv. Yeah.

[Amy]

It's so good. And every week I'm just. I'm sad now that I have to wait for the next season. So five out of five apple pies.

[Bobby Bones]

That's an interesting apple pie. It's an interesting call. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Paradise is awesome. It's on abc, so it's also on Hulu. Right. I mean, it's crazy that the network has a show that's that good. So. All right, there you go. That's Tuesday reviews day. We were talking about last Friday and fun Fact Friday. This guy that had hiccups for, like 30 years. Took forever for him to get rid of him. And that feels like fiction. Feels like somebody just made that story up. It's not. But then we had listeners call. Play this voicemail, please.

[Listener/Caller]

My mom has had the hiccups for over five years. On February 2nd, we celebrated their fifth anniversary. And it's like a bigger celebration than her birthday. She just woke up one day and nobody knows why and just started hiccuping. And I think. I can't remember exactly, but I think it's like two to 400 times a day. I just wanted to let you know that it's still a problem that doctors don't really can't explain. Yeah, I love your show. Keep doing what y' all do.

[Bobby Bones]

Her mom, as of right now, is five years into having hiccups. How do you even sleep with hiccups, though, right? Like, I feel like it would wake me up sometimes. I'm going. Wakes me up.

[Amy]

Maybe when she sleeps, they subside.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Five years.

[Eddie]

So two to 400 times a day,

[Bobby Bones]

what do you think?

[Eddie]

Like, on average, like, for an hour?

[Bobby Bones]

What do I think? You can literally do the math.

[Eddie]

I know, but I'm not going to do the math. But, like, I'm thinking, like, is it like every five seconds?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, two to 400, though, is. That's a big, big, big difference between the two.

[Eddie]

Because I'm wondering, like, does it interrupt you talking to people all the time? Like, you're in the middle of sentences.

[Bobby Bones]

You have hiccups all the time.

[Amy]

That's what happens when you have hiccups.

[Bobby Bones]

The 300 a day, though, that came. That's not that many, though.

[Eddie]

That's what I'm saying. So if it's spread out, like, I. I can Kind of see that.

[Amy]

Okay, but what if like I'm. Why am I picturing when she's sleeping that part of her system doesn't have. It's like only in her waking hours. So then it would be a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

That's 13 hiccups per hour, right. Five minutes.

[Eddie]

So I feel like that can kind of be normal. And you can live with that?

[Bobby Bones]

When I get hiccups, it's like every seven. Right. That still sucks. And it's crazy. Yeah, but it's not traditional hiccups. Once I look at it and do the math. Yeah. Oh, dang. That still sucks. Five years. Give me the next one, please.

[Listener/Caller]

This is late, but Happy birthday, Bobby. But what? Ray gave you a bell. He gave you a bell? Didn't you get him like a really extreme expensive pair of sunglasses and a plant and something else really expensive for his birthday? Anyway, happy birthday. But a bell?

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Ray didn't think about that. What do you want to say to that, Ray? Because I don't have any problem with this. Yeah, I was laughing here all by myself when I loaded this voicemail in. It's funny, I didn't really think of it like that. But yes, it was only $2. That does make me seem cheap. But did you have that bell with Arkansas hog on it before? This is a bell that he got from thrifting. And so I think anytime Arkansas wins, I ring the bell.

[Listener/Caller]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Although it's so old it might crack, it looks like it has a sugar cube as the thing that hits the bell. Yeah, there you go. Okay, we got Arkansas win. Ring the bell. All right.

[Eddie]

I didn't realize it's only $2, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was more of the thought that counts kind of with that one

[Amy]

and with Bobby, that's more important than the money.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know why I say that

[Eddie]

two dollar gift

[Bobby Bones]

and think about it until they said it. But by the way, you guys can leave us a voicemail anytime. 87777 Bob.

Did you see this at all? No.

[Amy]

All I saw was her going back to work and people wearing yellow to honor. But no, no updates.

[Bobby Bones]

They got another ransom note on the day she went back to the today show.

[Amy]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is from tmz. I'll just play you this from them. Hit that.

[Eddie]

The person who has been incessantly contacting us, although stopped for a while. Stopped for a while email saying, I know where her body is and who the kidnapper is. Give us. Give me half a bitcoin and I'll tell you. And this person has been really persistent knowing that if it's a scam, it's a federal crime. You have to assume that the law enforcement, they believe that this person is not legit. Otherwise they would have advised Savannah to pay the money.

[Bobby Bones]

So the person says they saw her in Mexico, the mom. And shortly after they talked about this, there was somebody that said they saw her in Sonora, Mexico. Eddie, you're from down there.

[Eddie]

I don't know where that is. I mean, I'm assuming it would be somewhere north, where New Mexico is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What I mean, for you from down there, like you literally from near a border town.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But not. But Texas border, not New Mexico.

[Eddie]

That doesn't sound like a Texas border. No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. The sender, as you heard, is suggesting that Nancy is not alive anymore. The mom.

[Amy]

Do you know how much half a bitcoin is worth?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably 33 to $34,000.

[Listener/Caller]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Bitcoin itself struggling right now, but yeah, it's basically $34,000.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

So that happened. It's this. I don't know. What do you do if you're her and you get this and you have millions of dollars?

[Amy]

Yeah. So I'm like, is it worth it

[Bobby Bones]

to throw 34,000 bucks at, like, a

[Amy]

lottery ticket and then see what you get. And then.

[Bobby Bones]

How about her? She goes back to work yesterday. You're never moved on. It's only been two months, and you're never moved on. You may compartmentalize and be able to do one thing, but you're never moved on. And then this happens the day you go back when you're trying to compartmentalize to the level that I. I hate this for all the Guthries.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

You think the guy's just messing with them? I think somebody knows something. I do think somebody knows something. And they want money for the kn. For the. Yeah. For passing along what information they have.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think that's what it. After two months, I would just have to be like, okay, let's pay this and figure it out. And if it's a. It's a loss, it's a loss. Like, at this point, they do have a lot of money, I would assume. But also, even if I didn't, it's like just some of the peace of mind I would get from knowing that these ransom notes are real or not real.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, my assumption would be they're being told by law enforcement, FBI, whomever, not to pay the money. There are instances where people have bucked the system. The Elizabeth Smart case, when they were like, you know, we're told not to release this image, and they were like, screw this. We're putting the image out there because we can't find our daughter. And luckily, they did. I'm not saying, look, what do I know? Nothing. I just see stuff and talk about it. But I think me as a human, I think that I'd probably start bucking the system a little bit if the system was telling me not to do certain things, and I'm not getting the result that I wanted. So I felt terrible for her yesterday.

[Amy]

So terrible. Yeah. Your first day back of maybe a tiny bit of normalcy. Just a tiny bit. And then, bam, another ransom note.

[Bobby Bones]

Another story, which I do not know if you kept up with this one either. Do you know who won the basketball championship last night?

[Amy]

I do not.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know who was in the title game?

[Amy]

I do not.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, take a guess on who you think was in the championship last night.

[Amy]

We're talking men's basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

Men's basketball.

[Amy]

Okay. Well, because I've been hearing about female basketball. Women's sports, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, women just had theirs on Sunday. Do you know who played in that one?

[Amy]

Heard about it. Heard about. My sister was telling me About.

[Bobby Bones]

Try either one.

[Amy]

I can't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

You have four teams up for grabs here. Yeah. Two in women, two in men. None of them cross over. They're all four different teams.

[Amy]

Iowa.

[Bobby Bones]

Iowa did not make the championship.

[Amy]

Oh, dang. Okay. Shoot. That was my one.

[Bobby Bones]

Pick another school.

[Amy]

I don't know, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. South Carolina. Women's. In women's.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

They played UCLA in women's.

[Amy]

The coach. The coach is, like, really popular Don Staley. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So UCLA beat South Carolina for the women's championship. Last night was the men's. Okay, and who was in that one?

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Amy]

South Carolina.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. I just said they didn't cross over.

[Amy]

Oh, they didn't cross over.

[Bobby Bones]

Tom Brady went to this college.

[Amy]

Oh, he did. He did. He did.

[Bobby Bones]

Where did Tom Brady go to college?

[Amy]

Meets me. Was it somewhere in Boston?

[Eddie]

Mm.

[Amy]

Mm. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you don't go to college where you play pro ball. Most of the time, you don't just move up.

[Amy]

Okay. Did he go somewhere in Florida?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, now you think of Tampa Bay.

[Amy]

Yes. That's all I associate him with. Where in the world did Tom Brady go to college? Just give me a hint, because I do want to guess.

[Bobby Bones]

They have helmets that are. I'm pretty colorblind. But they're blue with yellow. But this is a basketball team. But it's the same colors, obviously.

[Amy]

Blue with yellow.

[Bobby Bones]

Blue, right, guys? Yeah. No, no.

[Amy]

Okay. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

It's also their mascot of this team that ended up winning the championship last night is in a superhero, is a marvel. Avenger.

[Amy]

I have no idea what college that is.

[Bobby Bones]

That's an Avenger, right?

[Amy]

That's a call.

[Bobby Bones]

Technically. Not really. Oh, he's not an Avenger. Hugh Jackman plays him a wool Wolverine. Now, what's the school?

[Amy]

The Wolverines.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, what's the school that are Wolverines?

[Amy]

The Wisconsin Wolverines.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they're the Badgers. They're the Badgers.

[Amy]

The.

[Bobby Bones]

You're in the same area, though, of Wisconsin, Ray.

[Amy]

Oh, Michigan.

[Bobby Bones]

The Michigan Wolverines. They are the champions. And they beat the Huskies from.

[Amy]

The Huskies from. Not the Buckeye State. The Huskies.

[Bobby Bones]

The

[Amy]

Houston Huskies. I know. That's not right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cold.

[Amy]

It's cold. Yeah, because they're Huskies.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's cold up there.

[Amy]

The. Oh, North Dakota.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a small state.

[Amy]

South Dakota.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. That's a big state. Oh, northeast.

[Amy]

Oh, oh, oh. Delaware. New Hampshire.

[Bobby Bones]

Yukon. You would have got there.

[Amy]

Yukon.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. University of Connecticut.

[Amy]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

So Michigan beats University of Connecticut for the championship last night. We got There, hit that clip. Ball knocked around, flung down the floor. Caravan trying to track it down.

[Eddie]

And he will. And it's over.

[Bobby Bones]

Hail to the champions. Hail to Michigan for the first time.

[Amy]

Good job.

[Bobby Bones]

Michigan was really good this year. So they're the winners. I got other good news. We did some bad news, some mid news. Now we have good news. Tattoos may protect against skin cancer.

[Eddie]

Ooh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

So many times we hear tattoos are giving you cancer, and I'm like, I'm fully tatted up like a biker. That's serious.

[Amy]

Is that if you have them all over your body.

[Bobby Bones]

So. New research suggests having a couple tattoos may protect people from the deadliest form of skin cancer. A study from the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah involving 7,000 people finds having two or more tattoo sessions decreases the risk of both invasive and stage 0 melanoma. Researchers were surprised by the findings, but say they will do more research to understand why it lowers the risk. Participants with just one tattoo session were more likely to have melanoma.

[Amy]

What? Well, I have two tattoos, so I've had two sessions.

[Bobby Bones]

It could be as simple as. People with several tattoos are better about taking care of their skin. Like correlation and causation are two different things.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I think there is a certain amount of time. Yeah. That you keep your tattoo out of the sun to.

[Bobby Bones]

And also people. Yes. To keep it from fading. I don't mean to cut you off. That's what you were saying, right?

[Amy]

Pretty much, yeah.

[Eddie]

So not just right when you get the tattoo.

[Amy]

Cause you gotta keep it. I was thinking straight away in the first, like, you know, when it's still fresh. But I guess maybe they wanna protect it at all times.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it does fade. That's why I have my Arkansas tattoo on the bottom of my forearm.

[Amy]

Mine have bled out of the sun.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

Mine have bled like real blood.

[Bobby Bones]

Like when the Virgin Mary bleeds.

[Amy]

Like the, you know, in ink bleeds. So it used to be, you know, and that's why I've talked about getting them removed. And it's just. Gosh, it's such a process. So I keep putting it off. But like, joy looks like jog. Dang.

[Eddie]

That's sad.

[Amy]

Because the ink just. It's either my skin is stretching or the ink is bleeding. And so that's why I tell anybody if they're considering getting just a one word tattoo or a letter or something, do single needle because it's less likely to bleed out. It will continue to look like that word or that letter.

[Bobby Bones]

My state of Arkansas, fully blacked out. Tattoo still looks like Arkansas. But people don't know what states are. So if I'm wearing a T shirt, random people will come up and be like, you from Wisconsin? I am not. Why would you. And I don't realize it's a tattoo at first. Or are you from Iowa? They'll just say different states. I'm not. I'm from Arkansas. Oh, I saw the state on your arm. And so I do check it regularly to make sure it's still got those defined borders.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's there. And I don't go on the sun at all. So I want to thank all the listeners who sent really nice gifts. No more, please, for. For the baby. I have so much. I'm donating a bunch of it because I have so much. I'm very thankful, though, for all of it. We kept a bunch of it, and some of it, I just have, like, doubles and triples of things. So we're donating. We've also been donating a bunch of diapers. Just that out of just buying them, because we realize how. How hard it is to keep up with diapers. Like, it's so expensive. I would have never learned this had we not had a baby. So we just donate diapers for the sake of. People need diapers. I never knew the need of it. And I can't imagine cloth diapers. Oh, my God. Oh, my goodness. So I'd like to thank all the listeners that have sent stuff. Thank you so much. You know, you talk about something on this show and things come up. I was talking about the Starbucks energy refreshers the other day, and Starbucks sent us a bunch of them. We all have our favorite flavor now, too. So big shout out to Starbucks. Here's the thing. I am not so much a coffee guy. I know you guys are. I love the energy refreshers at Starbucks because now they are putting, like, caffeine in them.

[Amy]

Yeah. You're not a coffee guy, but you're a caffeine guy.

[Bobby Bones]

I am. I don't. Here's the thing about me and caffeine, though. I don't need it, but I like it.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I can drink it in the afternoon and not feel weird about it. Like, it doesn't keep me up. So thanks to Starbucks. I mentioned that I was drinking these, and they sent all these up, and the new energy refreshers are available today.

[Eddie]

Yours is pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's, like, colorful. What's my favorite color that I wear? That's not red.

[Amy]

Pink.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

And that's what that is.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think mostly it's because it's a version of red, but this is the dragon energy drink and so they taste good in the afternoon. For me, they're awesome. What do you have?

[Amy]

So my daughter turned me on to mango, strawberry, anything from Starbucks a long time ago, so that's what I went with. But now it's got the added caffeine. So this is like what I've always loved with a little bonus, like a little strawberry on top.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Starbucks new energy refreshers are available today. To order now, your favorite Starbucks refreshers come with, like Amy said, an added boost of caffeine with the new Starbucks energy refreshers. Designed to uplift, these drinks help power your day in moments that matter the most. Go try the new energy refreshers at Starbucks today. Or you can order on the app. You know what we do sometimes we order on the app and then go in. You can also order on the app and drive through. Can just go, hey, I ordered on the app. We also have one that doesn't have a drive thru near our house. You ever see those?

[Amy]

Yeah, it's straight pickup.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's straight pickup. There's really no going in. It's awesome. They have like a screen. It's kind of like at the airport when they're looking for people to board. You know, you're in that group that doesn't quite get on the boarding.

[Amy]

Yeah. With the weight.

[Bobby Bones]

The standbys. Yeah, but it's not standbys. Like everybody's drink up there. But big thanks to Starbucks because I mentioned it. And they sent them all up for us. But the refreshers are there now. There you go. Boom bones.

[Listener/Caller]

This is Deb from North Carolina. I just wanted to know what the pups thought of new baby Billy. Anyway, congratulations.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't a lot. Stanley does not at all. He does not care. He's my bulldog. And then we have a Eller who's half husky, half hound. She's a rescue and she's just curious about everything. But everybody's good and normal for the most part. You know, we did here smell some stuff. So you're used to the smell, but everything's going. Everything's going good. I told my wife Lunchbox was sick today. She was like, were you around him?

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't bring. I said, I won't. I sit so far away from him. Like we want to build a studio just for him and all his illnesses. And he just sits in that studio all Right. Next one, please.

[Listener/Caller]

Good morning, studio. This is Joy from North Carolina. I was calling. I forgot to ask if the show could wish my daughter avian A happy 10th birthday. I called last year and I asked the show to wish her a happy ninth birthday. And you guys did. And I was so surprised because I was like, I know. You get a thousand voicemails. It was funny. It was just so funny. I was gonna call back and share that. So, yeah, if you guys could, I would love it and love the show. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom. Happy birthday. And the reason we're doing is because we did it last year.

[Eddie]

Tradition.

[Bobby Bones]

We want to keep it consistent. There's a picture on my Instagram of me with John, the lead singer of Switch Foot. And my Instagram is Mr. Bobby Bones. The reason it looks like that I don't touch people. And sometimes it's awkward to people when I don't touch people. Because if you look at every picture that I've taken, it all started with. Honestly, I don't want anyone to say that I, like, touch them weird.

[Amy]

Even a guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody. Like, if I put my hand on their back or something. Especially women. I never want to be weird guy.

[Amy]

I get the women part.

[Bobby Bones]

So I just cut it. All right? So I put my hands in my pockets for 99.9% of pictures. And I was standing up there with John, the lead singer of Switchfoot, and he's like, you don't touch. And I was like, I don't touch. And so then I was being funny and I lean into him and. And put my. And that's. People are like, why is the picture so weird? That's why.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's funny too. Because he's laughing, you know? Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't touch people. Even pictures. If you look in our studio when guests come, we have a couch now. Shout out Wayfair for sending us this couch. And I sit on it and we don't touch for a couple reasons. Germs, secondary. But I don't want to be the person who, like, get touching me weird. Nope. Eliminating that right away. But it does make for awkward picture takings because people assume you're going to touch them when you take a picture. I don't touch anybody. Especially Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's smart.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife's watching right now. I never touched him. He is out sick. You guys can call us if you want. 877 77. Bobby Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Glory of the day. Lunchbox is at 6. So doing the Bonehead today.

[Eddie]

Eddie, there's a guy in Florida?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I do it like lunchbox. Oh, okay. Eddie. Yeah, do the same.

[Eddie]

This one comes from Florida. There's a guy in Florida who checks into a hotel. He says that he's going to stay there for two nights. And so two nights. Come around, the front desk calls him, hey, are you checking out? Nope, I'm staying. Well, you got to pay. Nope, I'm not leaving. So they say they got to call the cops. Cops show up. He's in an inmate uniform. So they're like, oh, my gosh, this guy escaped prison? Nope. Turns out he was just in prison a couple days ago, and he kept his uniform. So he stole it.

[Bobby Bones]

He was squatting in a prison uniform.

[Eddie]

Correct. So he gets charged for trespassing because he wouldn't leave the hotel and theft for stealing the inmate uniform that he had in.

[Amy]

But if they don't give you your change of clothes, what are you supposed to wear?

[Eddie]

Good question.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't take it from you when you leave.

[Eddie]

There's no way they let you leave with your uniform.

[Bobby Bones]

What's funny is, this is the story. It's not that he decided to stay at a hotel, because you know what?

[Amy]

He probably became really comfortable in that, and that's what he was used to

[Bobby Bones]

being in, like, me and my cutoffs.

[Amy]

So. Yes. So he wanted maybe. Yeah, he did get his change of clothes, but he still snuck that out with him. So he had his comfort outfit.

[Bobby Bones]

You would think you'd have to turn that stuff in, though.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

That's his blankie, his teddy bear uniform. So what happened? Does he go back?

[Eddie]

So, no, he goes to jail. Yeah. But he's got his uniform, so he's good to go.

[Bobby Bones]

He just walks right back in. Right. That seems like not a lot to take you back to jail.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, just be like, oh, my bad. Here's the uniform.

[Bobby Bones]

But he was squatting in the hotel. It wasn't just about that. Like, he wouldn't leave the hotel. But still, that's not enough to send you back to jail.

[Amy]

I don't know if you have priors, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, using lingo you saw on one show. All right, there you go.

[Eddie]

I'm Eddie for Lunchbox. Where your bonehead story of the day?

[Bobby Bones]

I was talking to John, the lead singer of Switch Foot. I've been a fan for a long time, and I was with my wife, and I said, hey, do you know Switchfoot? And she said, yeah. She goes, I know a lot of Switchfoot songs. She's like, 11 years younger than I am, 11 and a half or so. And I said, what do you know? And she said, walk to Remember. And I was like, no, I think you're talking about the wrong. Wrong band. And she was like, no, you. And I said, I don't know you. And so we listen to you.

[John Foreman]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So our Switch Foots are different. My wife Switch Foot and my Switch foot are completely different because that's where she was. She knows, you know, she's probably seven songs deep on you guys, which is significant for any band. And I was. I didn't even know you guys were in the movie A Walk. I don't think I've ever seen A Walk to Remember.

[John Foreman]

Yeah, Yeah, I know. It is funny because we. We had a ton of songs in that movie, and yet that movie feels like it represents a totally different cross section than, say, the songs we played, you know, two nights ago in Jersey. Like, the songs that we would. I don't. We haven't played you live in a long time. But, yeah, I still love those songs as well. It just feels like a different band almost.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there a type of person that knows you for a different thing? All.

[John Foreman]

I mean, that's the funny thing. So I'm in this other band, Fiction Family, that nobody knows about, with Sean Watkins from Nickel Creek and a couple other guys. And this guy I'm singing in Switch Foot, or I'm singing a solo show, and this guy comes up to me and he's like, are you in a band? And I'm like, I think I know where it's going, you know? He's like, fiction Family, right? You know? And I'm like, yep, that's me. You got me.

[Bobby Bones]

It's funny how even with people that will come up to me, they'll know me. I can tell by their age and their age, their age and their sex what they know me from.

[John Foreman]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if it's a dude and he's in his 40s to 50s, he probably listens to, like, my NFL show. If it's an old lady, she saw a man dancing with the Stars.

[John Foreman]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If it's like a family American, like, I can tell when they're coming up what they know me from. And I just thought it was wild because I've. Again, I've been a fan of you guys forever. I did not know you were in the movie. And my wife knows you just from that. And she's like, I'm a massive fan because of that.

[John Foreman]

That's fun. My daughter, probably. Yeah, she would know you from dancing with the Stars.

[Bobby Bones]

She would apologize to her for the.

[Eddie]

For that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. For me, yeah. Most people that didn't know me before Dancing with the Stars didn't really enjoy me on Dancing with the Stars.

[John Foreman]

That takes some cojones, though, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[John Foreman]

My wife's always like, you could do that? And I'm like, no, I wouldn't. I don't think I ever would ever

[Bobby Bones]

ask you to do it.

[John Foreman]

I.

[Bobby Bones]

If.

[John Foreman]

If they have, I blocked it out. I don't think I. Like I said, that takes something special, and I don't know that I have it. So hats off.

[Bobby Bones]

If you want to hear that full interview, just go check out the Bobby Cast wherever you get your podcasts or you can watch on Netflix. And a big thanks to John Foreman from Switch Foot for coming on.
