Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Dear everyone, leave me alone about how I hold my baby.
Lunchbox
What?
Amy
What are they saying?
Bobby Bones
Well, on my Instagram yesterday, Mr. Bobby Bones, the first picture that I posted is me holding the baby when I got home from our trip to Austin. I'm about to walk down the stairs. You know my fear in life? Walking down the stairs and dropping the baby down the stairs. I don't always hold the baby like that. That is safe, secure baby. Everybody's grabbing their phone.
Eddie
Yeah, I didn't notice anything different.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's Mr. Bobby Bones with an M. Mr.
Eddie
I think I have you in here.
Bobby Bones
And I'm standing at the top of the stairs, and I'm fully under the butt with the hand, and then I got ahold of the head. That is secure baby holding, because I am petrified. I'm dropping that baby down the stairs, and they're letting me have it online. Not saying it's safe. Mostly that it looks. It's not safe. I just look stupid.
Eddie
I mean, it's extremely safe.
Bobby Bones
It is so safe.
Eddie
And what's wrong with that?
Bobby Bones
I almost want to tie her to me just walking down the stairs. Like, fully strapp. Like bungee cords. When you put in the back of the truck. Yeah, Amy.
Amy
I mean, I don't get why people would have a problem. I mean, you're not doing any. This looks like, totally fine to me. It looks like you're like, yeah, it's like your precious cargo and you got it there.
Bobby Bones
And you're like, I ain't dropping. I have an irrational fear, all hands on deck, of dropping that baby every time I walk down a step. I walk down the steps funny because I'm so aware of the steps. Like, okay, stop.
Eddie
You do sideways. So your whole foot's on the step.
Bobby Bones
No, but when I hold her like that, I look down at the steps, which you're not supposed to look down at steps because it makes you step weird.
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
So anyway, if you go look at that picture, I appreciate in the comments there, you put justice for Bobby. That's what I would appreciate. Not you. You're good.
Eddie
No, I'll do it right now, man.
Bobby Bones
Thanks, man. So that was up there. There's also a picture that people do. Like, it's my wife holding the baby when I was hosting the I Heart Festival.
Amy
So cute.
Bobby Bones
And I'm on the screen while the wife's holding the baby. That. That's pretty good picture posted, that one. So that was up there. So I wanted to address that real quick. The other thing that I saw is. Reminded me of Lunchbox. Oh, this person went on the prices. Right. And they won a 2025 Chevrolet Trax 1 LT. I could be saying that wrong because I don't know anything about cars, but it was a nice car and the price is right. And so they did the five price tags game. And that's where you take. And you have to get all five of them right, and they go, only two are wrong. And then you switch those.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Okay.
Bobby Bones
When considering a price on the final round, she ignored her husband's suggestion from the audience because they showed him, and he was like, don't he do? She was like, I don't know. Don't he do? So she ignored it, went with her gut, and her guess was correct, not his. She celebrated on stage, snubbed the husband in the crowd, but everybody got a good laugh. That's from TV Insider. When you're up on that stage, which you were on Price is Right or Daniel was.
Amy
Okay, yeah.
Morgan
Just.
Amy
Yes, Daniel was.
Eddie
Yes.
Lunchbox
We all know.
Eddie
We all watch.
Lunchbox
I was up on the stage. Yes.
Bobby Bones
How easy is it to hear the people screaming at you?
Lunchbox
I mean, here's the thing. There are so many people yelling so many things. You have no idea what they're saying. Like, it's like. It's just a bunch of noise.
Bobby Bones
If you singled someone out, do you think everybody else would be quiet so you could hear that one person?
Lunchbox
No, because everybody is so excited because they want to be part of the game. Maybe if you said, hey, shut up. I want to talk to the lady in pink, maybe they would.
Eddie
That'd be weird.
Lunchbox
But, I mean, everybody is standing up and yelling and doing their fingers like this2512. I mean, everybody's doing it. So it's not that easy. But maybe she focused in and she had a way to communicate because it's her husband. I was by myself.
Amy
Yeah. I would see. I think spouses have that power and, like, kids and stuff. Like, if you're at something, it's like you get their attention and they hear you.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Sometimes I don't hear my wife. She talks, right? And I'm right there, and I. She's like, did you hear what I just said? And I'm like, I didn't. And there was no even other noise.
Amy
Okay, well, it was the woman Listening, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. So see, I guess I should clarify. Women can hear.
Bobby Bones
Did you look to the crowd to get any help?
Lunchbox
Yeah. When I was playing my game, I had two right, one wrong. And of course, everybody. Some people are saying one, the Jimmy Choo shoes are wrong. Some people are saying two, and some. I mean, everybody had a different answer. So, I mean, I just went with my gut of my high school soccer jersey said number two.
Bobby Bones
That was the. That. That's what it was.
Eddie
That worked.
Lunchbox
That was it.
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
Thought that story was funny. All right. Will you give me voicemail number six? I might have a slight controversial question as someone who has family members say
Voicemail Caller
they have anxiety and ADHD and stuff
Bobby Bones
like that are on, like Xanaxes and Adderall now that technology and everything so advanced, we're able to test for all this stuff that a lot more people have it.
Voicemail Caller
Genuine curious on that.
Bobby Bones
Love the show. I'm not really sure what the question is. I think maybe what he's asking is now that there is a more broad understanding of it, are there more people that have it? I think back in the day, like, legitimately have it. Back in the day when there wasn't probably as testing as thorough, as efficient. If a doctor thought you might have it, they just throw medicine at you. I think now there are ways that they can test. I think the tests are probably a little smarter, right?
Amy
Yeah. Well, I mean, I think it's on a spectrum. Like, they're some. Like, your anxiety is far more severe than at times that I've had it. I don't have chronic ongoing anxiety. I've had circumstantial where I thought I was having heart issues, so much so that I went to get an echocardiogram and paid a bunch of money to find out it was just anxiety. I was like, oh, cool. But it made sense that I had that at the time, and then I got through that season, and then it's gone. People live with it in different ways. And then I think it's sort of like when you pull up online and people start talking about their different disorders or ailments, and maybe you have one or two of the characteristics they list, and then you start to think you have it, too, when you really don't.
Bobby Bones
It's like a horoscope.
Amy
Well, no, but it's like, oh, you know, I feel like everybody. Well, not everybody, but a large amount of people come online and talk about their anxiety, which it may not exactly be that or their adhd, and they may not actually have that. But they know it gets engagement or, you know, and then everybody starts to think they have it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I didn't really understand anxiety for a long part of my life. I just. I didn't discredit it, but I didn't have it, so it was hard to understand it. I have severe nighttime anxiety. I slept like three hours last night because I just wake up and my heart's pounding. I did have to break off a. Break off a piece of that Kit Kat Xanax last night. And then. Then I start to get anxious that it wasn't enough. So I get anxious.
Eddie
That's on. On anxious.
Bobby Bones
Then I get anxious on anxious on
Amy
a medication that's supposed to make you less anxious.
Bobby Bones
I know that's. That's the story of my life. I got like three hours last night. It's a pretty rough one, but I never understood it until I got it. And there's no reason. I say there's no reason. There's not like a real reason that I have it. It's like. Like I go to bed and I'm going. I. Oh, I'm for sure anxious about something. It is very sub. It's in me. It's underneath my conscious level.
Amy
When you're saying very sub, you mean subconscious.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah.
Amy
I don't know if that was the cool way to say it's sub.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's under my conscious level for sure. And I can fall asleep, but I wake up and my heart out of nowhere, and I just wake up like this. It's like when someone does in the movies when they hit you with one of those adrenaline pins. You ever see that?
Eddie
Oh, yeah. They come out of it.
Bobby Bones
I'm not convinced my wife's not adrenaline pinning me when I sleep. And so for years I would have this, and my doctor was like, hey, you don't. You're not anxious in the daytime because you keep your mind just running at nighttime, it kind of all hits you in a weird way. So you get it. So I hit it last night.
Amy
Well, it's good to have certain tools in your toolbox. And that's one of your tools.
Bobby Bones
What's my other tool?
Eddie
Screwdriver, obviously. Any one of those get a point?
Bobby Bones
Hammer. Hammer.
Amy
Well, we've talked about L. Theanine.
Bobby Bones
Well, I go to therapy a lot too.
Amy
Therapy? Breath work?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Breath work never works for me.
Amy
Well, if you continue to say that, it never will.
Eddie
What is that, like the breathing exercises?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Lamaze? No, Lamaze for anxiety.
Amy
Yeah. I'm like, well, with that attitude.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. I think I got a lot. I got a lot of. A little.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
A lot of. A little anxiety. A little bit on spectrum. You know, a little bit. A lot of things.
Amy
That's that one. Is that self diagnosed or.
Bobby Bones
Well, my doctor says I either have super ADHD or I'm a little bit on the spectrum.
Amy
Okay. Yeah. So either are great.
Bobby Bones
Yeah man. A plus
Eddie
either or what you want in life.
Amy
Well, because so many people are living with.
Bobby Bones
You know, I feel like ADHD is just said so much by that. I also just feel I hyper focus on things that I can't shake. Like I can't. I'm. I try to get off of it and I can't get off of it.
Amy
Well, again it's a spectrum.
Bobby Bones
I know. Oh yeah, yeah. And I think that's why more people. What I've been told by my doctor, my therapist, my psychiatrist is that the reason more people are on the spectrum is because they understand more about the spectrum. The spectrum has broadened and there's more understanding of it. It's not like people are getting a bunch of shots and all of a sudden they're getting, you know, name it. So it's that the spectrum of what they understand and how it affects people is so different and it has widened so much and that's a big part of it.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So I don't have an answer for you. I don't really understand the question but
Eddie
we just talked about it so thanks.
Amy
Hopefully we offered some clarity for whatever you were.
Bobby Bones
Is it over diagnosed? Absolutely.
Amy
Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say 100% but also it's. It's hard with all the things that are. We're overstimulated. I think we have a lot more that works us up these days too because we know. Know more. Not just know more about what's happening with our bodies, but we have more information about what's going on in the world at all times. And our felt like things stress us out more.
Bobby Bones
I also don't think of those things that I said that I have are things that hold me back.
Amy
I think that's why I said both are great.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. They equally allow me to do it's almost superpower. Like there are certain things that it's annoying about it. Like I don't sleep sometimes but I'm efficient and I get crap done and I'm able to be wildly creative while also being busy. I wouldn't be able to have that if I didn't have a little bit of the.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You know, just a little, little Spec. A little speck, you know, a little
Amy
speck of the spec.
Bobby Bones
Just a little speck.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
You guys can hit us up if you want. 877-77-Bobby. That's our number. 8777-Bobby. Back in a second. Dolly had to cancel her Vegas residency, and we've known she's been going through some health stuff. So she was doing the residency. Dolly live in Las Vegas. She put this on her social yesterday.
Dolly Parton
I have some good news and a little bad news, but the good news is I'm responding really well to meds and treatments, and I'm improving every day. Now the bad news is it's going to take me a little while before I'm up to stage performance level because some of the meds and treatments make me a little bit sweet. But I'm going to miss all of you that had tickets to see me in Las Vegas. Well, you get on to Vegas. You have a big time.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, mostly good news that she's getting better. I mean, no bad news, really for me, because I wasn't going to the show. So to me, I just hear all good news that she's getting better.
Amy
Honestly, when I read about it, I felt more than like, when I hear her say it, I feel better about it. She sounds good. Obviously, things are not where she would want them to be, but her voice is more upbeat than I had in my head.
Eddie
Do we know what's wrong with her?
Bobby Bones
No, no, not publicly, no. But I think if Dolly said anything, you'd feel better. I think if you're on an airplane, she goes, brace for impact. That's right. I think you're like, all right, that's it.
Lunchbox
We'll do it.
Bobby Bones
Dolly. This is going to be good. It's going to be a heck of an impact. Let's get it. Dolly.
Amy
That's a really good way to put it because when I read the headline, I was like, oh, no, I'm very worried. And I just heard her say the exact same thing I read, and I'm like, oh, hey, things are fine.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Hey, I just got your results. You have four weeks to live. Oh, thanks, Dolly. That's awesome. I got a whole week. Oh, my gosh, it's crazy. Where's Fu Manchu?
Amy
Maybe there's something to this. Like, just have your bad news delivered to you by Dolly and it'll hurt less.
Bobby Bones
Ray, hit me with voicemail number five.
Voicemail Caller
Hey, studio. I was just calling because I have a question with you guys being in the music industry and obviously with ihear and all the Things that you're able to go to. What is the last concert or event that you went to that wasn't industry related? I just went and saw Luke Combs in Columbus and it was his largest concert to date with like 97,000 people. Just curious. I'd love to know what the last concert you guys have been to that's not work related.
Bobby Bones
Counting Crows was not work related. My favorite band of all time. I don't consider Brooks and Dunn a band. I consider them a duo. Counting Crow is my favorite band of all time and Eddie and I went and it was awesome. That was great because there was no us enjoying a concert. It's rare that we get to do that and rarely we go because we go to everything. So we're a little jaded, obviously.
Eddie
But that was a while back.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think that. I mean, I saw Amos Lee at the Ryman and that was really cool. I went to see Casey Muskrats at the Ryman too. That had nothing to do with work. I just wanted to go and like buy a ticket and sit and watch. So those would be the ones for me. You.
Amy
I took my daughter to Sabrina Carpenter. That's my last non work related concert and it was fun.
Bobby Bones
Did you see her dress at the Met last night?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
It was made of all film reel. It was pretty cool.
Amy
Oh yeah, she's very creative and yeah, as a mom, to be at a concert like that with your daughter. Sometimes it was a little uncomfortable due to Sabrina Carpenter's creativity on stage with some of her songs. But whatever. We just decided to have fun and it was so.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we were listening to all that stuff too when we were kids.
Amy
Well, I know, but having a visual.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
Like, you know, she brought out a bed and then a curtain and then a man.
Bobby Bones
Really? All that.
Eddie
Wow.
Amy
And it's like a silhouette and you like know what's happening and you're like, dang, you want to go get some M and Ms? I'm like, this is a good snack break time.
Bobby Bones
Selena Gomez had a pretty cool dress last night. It was not one of the big crazy ones. It was like a comic strip dress. It was very, very simple. But it was really cool because it was like a comic. What she like, she used to be in that show.
Morgan
Yeah, she wore it in Wizards of Waverly Place. So it was like a nod to that time on her show.
Bobby Bones
It's pretty cool. I didn't see all. I saw some Sam Smith look crazy. Some of them look crazy. Bad Bunny look like an old man on Purpose. He like really did all the makeup for an old man. It looked like there was an old basketball sketch or old commercial with where current players dressed up as old men and went and dominated people on the. On the court. Oh yeah, it looked like that. Like he was doing that. So that's pretty good. Last non industry event, Eddie, I took
Eddie
my son to go see Pearl Jam. That was amazing because Pearl Jam's one of my favorite bands ever. And the fact that my son wanted to go to that show and he enjoyed it and it changed his life because now he just loves Pearl Jam. And so that to me was awesome, but definitely not industry related at all.
Lunchbox
Lunchy be Brett Eldridge Christmas 2024. Went to his show, took my wife.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one.
Lunchbox
And you know, it's Christmas time and everybody talked about it. And so I finally took my wife out on date, said, hey, let's go see some Brett Eldridge Christmas.
Bobby Bones
I didn't count that one. And I've been every. Brett's one of my best friends. Does that count though, if it's not an industry but you're going cuz it's your friend?
Eddie
Yes. Cuz it's not work related.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's not work related. It's friend related.
Amy
You didn't have to go.
Bobby Bones
I didn't buy a ticket though.
Amy
Yeah, that's a good way to put it. Is like, what's the last thing you spent?
Bobby Bones
Money.
Raymondo
Yeah.
Eddie
You buy my Pearl Jam ticket?
Amy
You didn't?
Eddie
No.
Amy
Who did?
Eddie
Got it for free.
Bobby Bones
Rock station?
Eddie
Yep, Rock station.
Bobby Bones
Did your hands on a Harley and you want them?
Eddie
They just had extra tickets.
Amy
I mean, even Sabrina Carpenter, though, like, Bobby, you're. I went with your wife. You, your manager. Somebody had a link to friends and family. Ticket.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Cuz like it.
Bobby Bones
She's the same management company I am.
Amy
Okay. So. But we still had to pay. Like you got the link. But we still had to pay for our tickets. And it was almost like. Cross your fingers. Even if you go with the link, it wasn't guaranteed you would get a ticket.
Bobby Bones
Nickel a ticket.
Amy
No.
Eddie
Didn't somebody go to Taylor?
Amy
There's more than that.
Lunchbox
I went to Taylor.
Eddie
There you go.
Lunchbox
But that was.
Eddie
You didn't want to say that. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
No, no. Brett Eldridge was more recent than Taylor.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
He said, what was the last one?
Amy
Did you spend the money on Taylor?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
How'd you get the tickets?
Lunchbox
Our boss here like randomly mentioned it one day. I was like, yeah, I asked you like a year ago and he's like, really let me look and see what I can do. And last minute, he was able to give me tickets.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Dang, that's a big get. Because those were hard to get. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Mortgage.
Bobby Bones
You know, Taylor.
Morgan
Yeah. I went with one of my friends who's in the industry. It was like her ticket, so I did not get them through anything. I just went with her as a plus one.
Bobby Bones
What city did you go?
Amy
Here.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Morgan
Yeah, it was in, like, one of the suites. One of the record label suites.
Lunchbox
That's where I was. Record label suite.
Bobby Bones
Dang. That's kind of worked in. Yeah, yeah, it's kind of that. Nah, if you're going and you're like, with other people, they have a hookup. It doesn't matter. They're all good. What's a bad concert? You know? I'm just kidding.
Lunchbox
Oh, the worst concert you've been to.
Bobby Bones
Hey, you guys can call us. We'd love to hear from you, you know. 87777 Bobby Bones. Amy's a big Heather McMahon fan. You even went to her show, huh?
Amy
Yeah, she's h. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why does everybody wear cheetah?
Amy
I guess that's like her thing. Like, maybe she was wearing cheetah years ago. I honestly don't know where it started. I just knew when I was going I needed to wear cheetah and like 75% of the crowd was in cheetah as well.
Bobby Bones
When I told Amy I was Talking to Heather McMahon, she thought it was awesome. I asked Heather about how she got her start in comedy, and she lived down the road from Jeff Foxworthy, which is a crazy story. All right, this is Heather McMahon. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now. Heather McMahon, did you move to LA already, having done some comedy, like, in college?
Heather McMahon
Yeah, so I actually did stand up. The first time I ever did stand up, I was 16 and I roasted. I was at the junior senior prom and I roasted the senior class. So I had like a 30 minute set from that. I sent that old DVD to Jeff Foxworthy because he lived a couple of neighborhoods down from me in Atlanta. And I dropped it off at his house, and I see Jeff a lot. And Jeff said that he couldn't believe that I had the balls to do it. And he was like, you know, you sat in my living room and I. And I gave you advice and, you know, you never know what's going to happen. He's like, and damn it if you didn't do it. So after I graduated high school, they were shooting blue Collar Comedy Tour. They were shooting their sketch comedy show at the Alliance Theater in Atlanta. He gave me a writing assistant job that summer, and I learned so much. I went to Ole Miss. I was doing comedy. I was in, like, an improv troupe, you know, I got into comedy because I grew up on Joan Rivers, and if I could emulate her career, I mean, I'm obsessed with her. I got to meet her. She gave me her blessing in comedy. I feel very grateful for that.
Bobby Bones
The fact that she would save and organize all of her jokes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Was pretty amazing. Pretty amazing how attention to detail she was.
Heather McMahon
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you said, you get to meet her.
Heather McMahon
I worked at a restaurant, and there was a club right across from it. When I'd get off my shift, I'd go see Joan, and she would have these giant note cards on stage. I mean, she was in her 80s, had these giant note cards on stage, and she's ripping through jokes. And I would always, like, hang outside the back door. And she would come out and I'd be like, Ms. Rivers, I love you. I have a lot of photos with her, and she was so kind. So I moved to la. I'm sitting at this bar by myself that my buddy was bartending at, and I hear her. I hear her walk in the door. She. And she was the one who told me. She said, you need to go to la. You've got a commercial look. So she sits in a booth, and I'm like, oh, my God, Ms. Rivers is here. So I go up to the booth, and her assistant and me is like, do you want a photo? I was like, no, no, no. I've got a photo with Joan. I said, joan, I want you to know I followed your lead. You told me to come to la. I'm here, and thank you so much for giving me that advice. And I'm three days in, but I. Hopefully this works out. She's so kind. I go and sit back at. She wraps up her dinner. She comes up and she's like, I have a good feeling about you. She said, you have chutzpah. You followed your gut. You're gonna make it. Don't worry. You got this. So when she passed away, I was working at SoulCycle in West Hollywood. I came out. I had taken a class. So I come out of the spin class, the entire staff looks, like, ill. They're white as a ghost. And I'm like, what's going on? I thought they were about to tell me my entire family had died. They were like, you need to sit down. Jones passed I mean, and I was inconsolable. And I knew her very, very loosely. Right. Just as a fan. I mean, people sent flowers to my AP as if because she died. When she died, I was devastated. And so years later, after she had passed, they had a big auction at Christie's, and I didn't have any money. This when I was, like, first starting out, and all I wanted were these giant Tiffany silver dog bowls with her dog's name on them. I was like, this is so cool. Didn't have any money, didn't get them. And then she. They just did another auction last year for her stuff. And I'm on a flight on my way to my show in Tampa, and my. I'm like, honey, you got to get in there. Like, I. I can't. I can't do this on the plane. And my husband won for me one of her tour jackets.
Bobby Bones
Oh, wow.
Heather McMahon
And it's the first thing going in my new house. It's gorgeous. It's like champagne color with feathers. And I'm going to put it in a giant acrylic box. And I want you to walk in my home and be like, this is the house that Joan built. And I'm friends with Melissa, now her daughter, and she brings me on her podcast. And it is so full circle. Like, when I started doing the E. Ray carpets, it was because, you know, Joan did it. It's just I love her so much, and she was really my idol in comedy.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bone.
Amy
Come on.
Bobby Bones
If you want to hear that full episode, it's an hour long. Just go search for the Bobby cast on Netflix if you want to watch it. Or you can search on iHeartRadio or where podcasts are if you want to listen to it. But big thanks to Heather McMahon for coming on. What's the game, Ray?
Raymondo
All right, so I'm gonna give you two TV shows and one movie, and you're gonna name the one actor in all three.
Bobby Bones
We've never played it.
Eddie
Like, whoa.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so all the things we're trying to name the actor, there's an all of them correct example.
Raymondo
So the two TV Friends and Cougar Town. The movie is Ace Ventura, Pet Detective.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know that Monica was in Courtney Cox. Yeah, it was an Ace Ventura. That's crazy. That's who it is, right? Courtney Cox.
Raymondo
Correct.
Bobby Bones
Okay. All right, let's see. Everybody good?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Let's do. It's gonna be easy, right?

No, I think.

Raymondo

Amy

Eddie
So stupid.
Bobby Bones
No, you're eliminated.

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
Lunchbox
It feels good to get good news.
Bobby Bones
It feels good to Gecko. It is with much shame I share that. I was AI'd.
Amy
Ah. Tell us.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Selena Gomez didn't go to the Met Gala last night. That was an AI picture of her just on the red carpet. Like, just a picture. And I watched the walk up. I don't really feel that stupid about it because I just saw all the pictures. Did you get AI, too? Yep.
Morgan
I got AI'd right along with you. I thought that was real.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I wonder if anybody even. I wonder if Met Gala even happened last night. But I looked all the pictures, and that was just in the middle of all the other ones. I was trying to find it. I was like, I didn't see it. Well, I found it, and then I sent my wife the link, and I was like, hey, here's Slender Gomez. She goes, nah, she didn't go. She goes, whatever that is is not real. She didn't go. So that could be AI. And then.
Eddie
Yeah, gotcha.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't feel that bad about that one, because it's a simple picture, but still got AI. It's with much shame.
Amy
It happens.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but yours are, like, weird. It's like a woman finds a hole in the ground, walks in it, and it's like, just in time. The burglars didn't get me. The burglars are running over the top of her on top of the hill. You see it, Mike? I see it now. Yeah. What looks like AI in that? Hmm. I guess her actual body doesn't match the background. I can't see. You're not gonna really pay attention to that if you're just scrolling. Yeah, I just scroll him anyway. Who cares, Right?
Eddie
Sorry, man.
Bobby Bones
Got me. Happens to the best of us.
Eddie
It sure does.
Bobby Bones
All right, I got some stuff. Number one. Okay, so you know the podcast Amy was talking about where the girl's like. I'll just say, allegedly, I'm pregnant.
Amy
Love Trapped is the name of the
Bobby Bones
podcast, and it was the guy from the Bachelor. Yeah. And they didn't have sex, and then they go to court.
Amy
Yeah. It's a whole thing. She's done it to, I think, four men total.
Bobby Bones
She has more than this to him.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Wow, look at her.
Amy
Was maybe the fourth.
Bobby Bones
She's got a thing.
Eddie
Yeah, it's her thing.
Bobby Bones
Wonder if any of them still believed it until this happened. Like, if there were guys that were like, yep. She really, really has my baby.
Amy
Yeah, I think so.
Bobby Bones
Did she ever have babies?
Amy
No, I don't think so.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so Then never mind.
Amy
I. I'm not done with the whole podcast.
Bobby Bones
But breaking news.
Amy
Yeah, this is. Drum roll. Yeah. Blew my mind.
Eddie
You got AI'd.
Amy
Okay. No, I did not. Y', all, we are so lucky. Got. Bobby got married in what year?
Bobby Bones
No, that's not true.
Amy
Stop. Stop it. What year did you get married?
Bobby Bones
That's not true. Almost. Almost married. Five years.
Amy
Five years, okay? Because guess what? This girl has been in Bobby's
Eddie
orbit circle.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And listen. No, Bobby, you're. She seeks her teeth. She would have seen you sunk her teeth in and tricked. Y' all would have just, like, passed each other in the hall. She been like, I'm pregnant.
Bobby Bones
No, because I wouldn't have had sex with her, because I didn't.
Amy
I know.
Eddie
You wouldn't have sex with anyone.
Bobby Bones
Right? And then I would have been like, well, I didn't have sex with you, so you're not pregnant with my baby.
Amy
Okay, but this is her thing. Like, you would have been like, all I did was pass you in the hallway. And she would have been like, well, but because she comes up with these creative ways, they're wondering how to get pregnant. Okay? Bobby was on her podcast in 2023, which is so crazy. Who even knew she had a podcast?
Bobby Bones
I don't even know. She is.
Amy
When I was telling you about her, we were like, okay, yeah, we don't even know who this girl is. So we talk about it on the show, and then I get an email from one of our listeners, Jessica, and she said, hey, me, after hearing you mention Love Trapped on bbs, I thought you would find it a fun fact that Bobby was actually a guest on Laura Owens podcast. She's the pregnancy scammer. Her podcast is called Nobody Told Me. She's accused four men of impregnating her. Bobby got lucky. She didn't set her eyes on him.
Bobby Bones
And I don't remember doing this podcast.
Eddie
So you were a guest on hers. Okay.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
September of 2023.
Amy
Because. But the thing is, it's so weird, is, like, you don't really do a lot of podcasts, so I wonder what made you do that one.
Bobby Bones
Probably not PR team saying, you need
Amy
to do this podcast because she had a co host. And obviously at that time, I don't know that we knew about her. Crazy.
Bobby Bones
I don't remember doing the podcast, but there was a time where I was just bouncing around doing whatever, maybe promotion for something, but I don't have a book out.
Amy
Then the title is Bobby Bones. You can turn your Life into whatever you want it to be. And I'm sure you were like, the world is bendable.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, probably same crap.
Amy
And it's just so crazy. It's like you have a one degree of separation.
Eddie
And what does she do?
Bobby Bones
What if she told me I got her pregnant through a podcast?
Amy
Exactly. Exactly. Cause I assume it was on Zoom.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it had to be, because I don't remember her.
Amy
So it was a Zoom conception.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's a wild coincidence.
Amy
A zoomception.
Bobby Bones
Don't remember doing the podcast. Don't remember her.
Amy
But shout out to our listeners who connect those kinds of dots, because what in the world? Like, what are the odds that you would have been on a podcast of a girl that is now the subject of a podcast about her scamming men into thinking that they're gonna be dads? But the.
Lunchbox
She's undateable now, right?
Amy
Yes, 100%.
Eddie
But somebody's gonna date her.
Amy
I think that there's a redemption could happen. Like, she could get help.
Eddie
Is she really pretty?
Amy
She's pretty.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah, she'll find someone.
Lunchbox
I want to be real pretty.
Amy
Eddie's like, meh.
Eddie
Somebody will probably date her.
Amy
Isn't that a little fun? Fact.
Bobby Bones
I got a message too. This is from Underscore. Bethany13. Hey, Bobby. Amy was on Harvey Weinstein's podcast.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Geico Gecko
Amy.
Amy
Okay, that's not the same thing.
Eddie
Oh, is that true, though?
Amy
It's not the same thing.
Bobby Bones
And her and his other guest was Bill Cosby, and Amy sat there the whole time. Whoa.
Amy
This is nowhere near the same thing.
Bobby Bones
You know who produced the podcast? Jeffrey Epstein.
Eddie
No way.
Amy
Okay, if you think that. That's what I mean, it's crazy. You were on her podcast. I would not be like, oh, my gosh, you were on the podcast. If it was something like that. This is a totally innocent thing. She. She didn't. She just, like, lied and messed with people's emotions. Right?
Eddie
It's a joke.
Bobby Bones
It's a joke. Now can she go, you're not really on the Harvey Weinstein. I don't think the Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.
Amy
I'm like, not even Jeffrey Epstein had a podcast.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I did get this Message from underscore. Bethany13. Hey, Bobby, I'm a first grade teacher in a small town in Ohio and have been doing a March Madness book tournament for the past six years. My class and I read 16 picture books that competed against each other as our favorite book. This year, your book, Stanley the Bulldog and the First Day of School was voted as the number One favorite tournament winning book. My students fell in love with Stanley, and the messenger book gives.
Eddie
Wow. You won the whole thing?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
What year did that come out? Stanley the dog?
Bobby Bones
Well, this. This happened this year.
Amy
And what year did the book come out?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
September 2023.
Bobby Bones
What are you saying? I don't know if he did her
Amy
podcast as part of his book tour.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't know.
Amy
I guess. You didn't do a Stanley the Dog book tour.
Bobby Bones
It came out in 2022. I didn't do a Stanley the Dog book tour.
Amy
No, you did for the. Did you do for the other ones?
Bobby Bones
Man, did I. I would go and sign for 5, 6 hours in the city. It was crazy. It was awesome. But, yeah, they'd be like, you should speak for an hour and then sign and the signing for five, six hours. And I was like, I can't speak.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
I want to make sure I can get everybody before the store closes. But, man, we were bouncing. We're bouncing around, weren't we? I remember that trying to do the radio show. It's really. It was really great, but we just didn't expect that. And now I feel bad because there'd be like, no talk. But I'd be like, I guess if I talk, they're gonna close the bookstore and everybody can't get in. But, no, I did not do Stanley the Dog made a bunch of toddlers.
Voicemail Caller
Okay,
Bobby Bones
question. And this is an Eddie question about what Abby's doing, but she's been doing something peculiar.
Eddie
Yeah, Abby doesn't realize that I have a camera to the green room on my computer.
Bobby Bones
Abby, do you know this?
Amy
I do now.
Bobby Bones
Anything you want to admit?
Amy
No, I just go in there sometimes to, like, cough or blow my nose and just, like, kind of relax.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, she's doing something. Because I'll look at the camera and I'll be like, oh, wow, there's someone in the green room. And she's just walking in circles in there.
Amy
What? I'm not walking in circles.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what I see.
Amy
I'm, like, blowing my nose, kind of pacing and then watching the tv, looking out the window.
Eddie
Yeah, maybe it's like our getaway or something.
Bobby Bones
You having a breakdown up here?
Amy
I don't know. I didn't know there was a camera in there. Well, I didn't know, but I didn't know.
Bobby Bones
She goes in there just to fart and thinks that.
Eddie
Abby, just be honest with us. Are you farting in there?
Amy
No, no, I just told you what I'm Doing?
Bobby Bones
Why not go to the bathroom if you're gonna blow your nose and cough and stuff? Well.
Amy
Cause I don't wanna be too far away from here like I need to be.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I mean, you're coughing in the green room where guests are coming. Well, in a Kleenex, Eddie has audio.
Amy
Just letting it rip, you guys. That's not what I'm doing. I promise.
Bobby Bones
All right, let's go around the room, Amy.
Amy
Okay, so.
Eddie
Come on, Amy.
Morgan
You got this.
Eddie
You got this, Amy.
Amy
We're good. We're good. Spirit Airlines obviously shut down. And this one pilot for Spirit Airlines, he was supposed to have his retirement flight. You know, it's like a really big deal, and the company folded before he got to do it. So he ended up having to take a Southwest flight home.
Bobby Bones
He begs, guys, can I hop in
Eddie
there, Please fly this thing?
Amy
But Southwest Airlines employees, they. They did something really cool. They gave a send off for him, and they used their airline to celebrate him. He was on the flight with his son, and I just thought it was, like, really sweet. The son informed Southwest what was going on. Like, hey, this is my dad. He's a pilot. He was supposed to have his final flight with Spirit, and then the company shut.
Bobby Bones
Does he get his money, though?
Amy
That's my question. From retirement. He's worked long enough at Spirit to where he can retire, but then if the company folds, has he lost retirement?
Eddie
Exactly.
Bobby Bones
I don't have the answer there, but we were talking about that yesterday, right? Like, you have to root for your company to stay afloat, so you get your retirement. Unless that money goes into some sort of account, like an escrow type account.
Amy
Yeah, I just thought it was really cool of Southwest to organize an impromptu retirement party for him at the gate. And that must have felt really good because he didn't get it from Spirit.
Eddie
But I wonder if an airline can let him fly one. Like just a one day contract to have your retirement flight.
Amy
Well, Spirit has no money, so how would they do that?
Eddie
No, no, no. Another airline.
Bobby Bones
Like, he has all the credentials, but Southwest says, yeah, you can fly this just one flight.
Lunchbox
Well, they did let him do that. They did the cannon salute and everything. Like where they do the water.
Bobby Bones
And I mean, Eddie wants him to fly.
Eddie
I mean, that's the whole thing, right?
Bobby Bones
Barrel roll with a bunch of passengers in there.
Lunchbox
And he gave a speech on the plane, and then when they. He came out into the gate, they all clap for him. And, you know, Southwest did a pretty good job.
Bobby Bones
Like a ball player that goes signs A one day contract. Yeah, exactly. He actually gets to fly the plane.
Eddie
The one flight. Because, I mean, that's what it is. Your last flight. This one he just wrote as a passenger.
Bobby Bones
I did say where. Spirit Airlines says a lot of their ticket holders were reimbursed.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
Well, a small percentage of refunds are still being processed. Customers who paid with cash, a travel voucher, or Spirit loyalty points are in a trickier spot. How can you pay with cash?
Amy
You show up, you go to the
Bobby Bones
airline, drop a stack.
Eddie
Here's $100.
Bobby Bones
I would think they sold drugs if someone walked up and just dropped a stack of cash. Like, I'm not gonna pay with anything. Or they're up to something fishy because they didn't want it to be known.
Amy
I saw a tip from someone one time on Instagram saying that they buy all their airline tickets at the airport and you get a better deal. Like if you go.
Eddie
Like the old days.
Amy
Like if you go up to the counter and you're like, I need a flight to da da da instead of doing it online, it feels risky.
Bobby Bones
Cause what if they don't have enough flights? What if they're sold out?
Amy
Well, I'm not saying it's day of. I'm just saying they drive to the airport.
Eddie
What, like a month in advance?
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
They drive to the airport, they're gonna fly two.
Amy
No. But I have no idea if that tip actually works. But I just wanted to shout out Southwest Airlines for making Captain John Jackson's retirement situation a little bit celebratory.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Yeah, there's this 14 year old boy in California. He has an E bike. Yeah. And so he was doing wheelies out in front of his high school. And he'd been cited before for reckless driving on this thing. And he has. He's been in trouble with the law, hit an 81 year old man and killed him. And now the mom is facing manslaughter
Bobby Bones
charges also because of what the kid did.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Eddie
Because he ran over the old man in his bike.
Lunchbox
Yeah, on his E bike. And it goes up to 56 miles an hour. And so it's.
Bobby Bones
That's a fast freaking.
Lunchbox
So it's classified as a motorcycle. And he's supposed to have a license and be 16. His mom's like, no, no, he's fine, he's fine, he's fine. And so now she's charged also.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
I see some of those motorcycle bikes around our neighborhood.
Lunchbox
It's crazy for the kids.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because it's not just an E Bike. It's a bike with a motor on it. It sounds like a motor, but it's a bicycle. And it's. Ah. So it's not gas because it's. I don't know what it is, but it looks like a motor. It feels like a motorcycle.
Lunchbox
Correct, Correct.
Eddie
Well, we have an E bike or like a motorcycle. E bike for my kid, but that doesn't make any noise.
Bobby Bones
This one makes noise, so that's gotta
Lunchbox
be an E bike for your kids.
Eddie
Yeah, like a little motor. It's like a little motorbike, little dirt bike.
Lunchbox
It's crazy to me.
Bobby Bones
When Katelyn and I are on a walk, these kids on these, they're like. It's like a. Not a full motorcycle, not a little dirt bike, but it's like a bike that goes.
Amy
Flies by a lot of the kids home. It's dangerous. But I know I say that as a mom that has. My son has a scooter, so I get that both are considered dangerous.
Lunchbox
He has an electric scooter.
Eddie
What I'm saying they're pretty cool.
Amy
Dude, are you judging me?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm judging you. I don't understand why kids have those. Like, what? The electric. Like, the whole point is, when your kid pedal your bike or use your scooter, use your leg. Like, why do we need electric ones? I'm very confused by it.
Amy
Oh, he rides it to school.
Eddie
Mine's like a little dirt bike. It's like a little motorcycle he gets to ride in the yard. It's fun.
Bobby Bones
Like, that's what people said 50 years ago about others. I mean, kids are like, why are you wearing shoes? Everybody used to be barefoot when I was a kid.
Amy
No, I mean, I get it. He has a helmet. He doesn't. He can. He goes a certain speed. He's very responsive. If he wasn't as responsible as he is. And I get it, you have to look out for other cars. But he's very cautious. The distance is not that far. He's always on a sidewalk. I feel pretty good about it.
Bobby Bones
That's good.
Amy
And that's a decision we had to make was.
Bobby Bones
Well, kids are supposed to pedal and use their feet. And kids, when we were kids were. But now, before a bicycle, were they
Amy
just supposed to run and walk? Yes, yes, I know. But to your point, what I'm saying
Lunchbox
is I don't understand why the kids need them.
Eddie
They don't need them.
Amy
It's fun.
Eddie
They really don't need them.
Amy
And I know, I see ER doctors say, you know, five things I would Never let my kids do. And e bikes. E scooters. I mean, trampoline's one of them too. Do you let your kids jump on a street?
Lunchbox
I don't have a trampoline either.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
Wow. Man, you're really safe.
Amy
You're a good dad.
Eddie
Yeah. Good parent, dude.
Lunchbox
I mean, what's amazing to me is Eddie's the biggest helicopter parent ever, but he puts him on an electrical.
Eddie
You guys call me a helicopter parent. I've never called myself.
Bobby Bones
It is like my kids got an e bike. A switchblade.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but. But he can't stay at home by himself when he's 18.
Eddie
No. You know where he rides his bike in front of the house? Where I see him. Like, he's not going to other neighborhoods.
Bobby Bones
Like, I don't know which about within the neighborhood.
Amy
My son can literally have a permit to drive. Like, he's 15.
Bobby Bones
You don't let your kid get out of your sight with the bike.
Eddie
My seven year old now.
Bobby Bones
Oh, seven. Seven.
Eddie
He's little, dude.
Bobby Bones
No way he gets a bike at seven.
Eddie
He's got a little. It's like a little dirt bike. It's electric. Dirt bike.
Bobby Bones
7 is. Feels a little young. I don't know though.
Eddie
But he wears a helmet.
Amy
Okay, but wearing it in the yard.
Bobby Bones
But I don't know. I'm not. I'm just saying 10 in my mind feels about right.
Eddie
Seven, dude. He's. He loves it every day when he gets home from school. He loves to ride around the cul de sac.
Bobby Bones
And when I was seven, I'd love a machine gun as well, but I didn't get one.
Eddie
Oh, you're on his side now?
Bobby Bones
No, I just. No, I don't really have a side.
Amy
Okay, but lunchbox, do you see the point? Like, my son's 15.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah, but still, you even said the distance isn't very far, so why can't he just use the scooter like it's meant to be used?
Amy
Like he was his takes his bike.
Lunchbox
There you go. I just wanted to.
Eddie
What are you fighting? I'm curious what you're fighting for. Like, safety.
Amy
You're saying he's lazy. Is it a safety thing or is he lazy?
Lunchbox
It's safety. No, but it is a safety thing. But that's what I'm saying. Like. Like my brother got his kid one for Christmas. He's nine years old. And I had seen him around my dad's neighborhood when I was there for Christmas. And my dad and I were like, man, it's crazy. All these Kids are getting these electric bites. It's so crazy. That irresponsible kids shouldn't be wearing, you know, they shouldn't be having those. And my brother comes over and his kids like, oh, guess what I got for Christmas? The electric bike. And we're like. And we made fun of my brother. We're like, how fast is it going? He's like, I don't know. Like, what do you mean you don't know? And he goes, he's nine, he's good. His friends have it. And I'm like, do you know what nine year olds are doing when their friends have electric stuff and they're not
Bobby Bones
in front of you crazy. It's coming from him who lets his kids run off and do whatever.
Lunchbox
Oh yeah, my kids ride their bikes.
Bobby Bones
No, no, we're talking about you just let them out of your sight for hours at a time. Right, right.
Lunchbox
I'm just saying it's different than riding an electric thing that goes 30 miles an hour. That's it's ours.
Eddie
Doesn't go 30 miles per hour. I don't know, like 10?
Bobby Bones
I have no idea.
Eddie
It's 10, maybe downhill 15.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
I'm just pay parent shaming. I'm shocked that it's coming too because he's like, free range kids go do everything. We'll see you tomorrow. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I don't mind them climbing trees, riding a bike, but when it gets as
Eddie
long as it's not electric.
Lunchbox
Correct.
Amy
Climbing trees.
Lunchbox
How high though, however, how high they want to go.
Eddie
What if they come up with an electric rope that gets you up the tree faster?
Bobby Bones
No, it's electricity. You have electricity in your house. They get to use it to like. Yep.
Amy
What about climb up on the roof?
Lunchbox
They've been up on the roof and that's all good. They go up on the roof with me.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
It's not like with you, you're picking and choosing.
Lunchbox
Yeah, they go up on the roof when we, we put Christmas lights up and stuff. They're up there with me.
Bobby Bones
The same argument could be said about phones. Right. We didn't need phones. We were kids. It's dangerous kid to have 12 year old to have a phone. I'm just saying technology evolves. Kids get more technologically advanced. The things that kids, adults use are more technologically advanced. This is the same argument that was had years ago for different things, but the same argument could be used for phones that are used for electric bikes. Yeah, kids didn't have them then, why do they need them now?
Amy
Yeah, I will say I Know, this is weird, but I wouldn't. If Stevenson had asked for an electric bike, I would have said no.
Bobby Bones
What if you wanted a chainsaw?
Amy
But he asked for an electric scooter because he has a bike and he rides both pretty equally. I even told him with the scooter, I was like, I don't want this to replace the bike because you love riding your bike. And I do like the fact to launch the point that he's, like, pedaling and working. But some what I don't like about the kids with the electric bikes is I see them going down roads where there are no sidewalks. They shouldn't be. They're not obeying the laws, and they're just weaving in and out. Like, it's crazy. Where I've seen them, like on Franklin or Old Hickory by Target, Like, I'm like, what, what, what? There's no way their parents know that that's what they're doing with their bikes.
Eddie
And that's different, right?
Amy
Like, that's dangerous.
Eddie
I saw a kid get hit, you know, on one of those car hit him. Like, he was crossing a major street. That is completely different than riding around on your. In your neighborhood.
Bobby Bones
Like, that could also have it on a bicycle, too, if your kids got a bike out on the street.
Eddie
Correct.
Bobby Bones
It is. Okay. Moving on, Eddie.
Eddie
So scientists are now saying, like, this is serious. The city of New Orleans at the end of this century could be completely underwater. So they're saying New Orleans is four years, huh?
Bobby Bones
And 74 years.
Raymondo
Yeah.
Eddie
They're saying the city is at a point of no return. They should start trying to relocate that city immediately.
Bobby Bones
Would never. Will never happen. Would never happen.
Eddie
But not in our lifetime, I guess.
Bobby Bones
I'm talking about the relocation. The only way people are going to relocate is if that city goes underwater.
Eddie
But, like, do you have to wait? Like, they're telling you have 70 years. You can slowly start, like, all right,
Bobby Bones
first of all, if you're an adult, probably be alive in 70 years.
Eddie
Yeah, but, like, the city should start thinking, like the government should start.
Bobby Bones
Well, they're all going to be dead, too. I don't think there's going to be any sort of movement. Maybe if they start building new things, they, you know, start to invest in a different part of that area and still call it New Orleans, like, a little more nor. Yeah, but yeah, they're not going to re not going to move that city.
Eddie
That is crazy to think that a city that we know of today that's like, like just thriving New Orleans is like, awesome. That by the end of the century, it can be completely underwater.
Bobby Bones
They've said that about California, though. Parts of that forever for 200 years.
Eddie
But they have the data how they're seeing it kind of like slowly creep. And they're saying, like, the oil industry is kind of like messing. Messing with the erosion on the shoreline. Hurricane. Every time a hurricane comes through, it kind of lifts that sea level up. There's so many different things that's making it happen, but they're warning them, and nothing will happen. You don't think it'll ever go underwater?
Bobby Bones
I'm saying it won't. The people will not move. Nobody will do anything unless they're forced to do it right then and right there. People just can't move, though. You're talking about money. You don't have money just to move.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
City's not gonna. They don't have money just to move buildings. Money's not free. Yeah, they could start building more north, but if it's not prime real estate where they can make money in the next five to 10 years, then sell that building in 10 years. They ain't gonna happen.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Cute thought, though. All right, Morgan.
Morgan
Okay, so this is like straight out of a movie. It feels like. Has anybody been watching the Hanna virus stuff going on in the Atlantic Ocean?
Bobby Bones
The cruise ship? And so they're not letting it dock.
Amy
No.
Morgan
So there's 150 people on board. Three people have already died. Seven are potentially, like, sickened from it. They now know at least, like, how this possibly happened. There's two different ways. One, that they contracted the Hanna virus from feces, urine, or saliva of infected rats or mice.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
Oh, have you guys seen this hantavirus stuff?
Lunchbox
No, I've seen it. But the guy that's on the boat still, he was crying.
Bobby Bones
He's like, let me off the boat.
Eddie
No, I've not seen this.
Amy
Can you jump?
Lunchbox
He's out in the middle of the ocean.
Morgan
Well, so, like, they're stuck on board. Nobody will let him dock because they don't know who's all infected and they don't know how. And there is a potential that it infects other people. It's a, like, public health problem.
Amy
Oh, my.
Morgan
So they're. The other way that everybody's super worried is because it can be person to person, which they think somebody potentially came on the ship with it already. And now that's why they're not letting people get off, because they don't know how to do it safely. And in a way to make sure that it doesn't go past whoever's on the, on the ship.
Bobby Bones
Where did that thing start? It wasn't in America, right?
Morgan
No, it's. It departed from Argentina and it was supposed to go on this like weeks long Atlantic odyssey voyage. And then they tried to dock in West Africa. They wouldn't let them. And now they're looking to try and dock. Let's see, the cannery islands and trying to screen all the passengers to allow them to leave. But as of right now they're not able to.
Eddie
I mean at some point the ship runs out of fuel, right. And like all that like it's got a dock and like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you can stock up also get a little tug.
Eddie
Yeah, a tugboat can pull you somewhere.
Bobby Bones
So I mean you could run out of gas. Yeah, yeah. Well, we're not leaving from Argentina so don't worry about the hand on us.
Eddie
No, no, we're good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're good.
Eddie
Good.
Bobby Bones
I saw, I've been watching the guy who's like let me off the boat. Let me off the boat. His name is Jake.
Morgan
Well, there's like they have no idea when they will ever be able to get off at this point right now there's no resolution besides understanding where it came from.
Bobby Bones
But I got a lunchbox story. South Korea holds a power napping competition.
Eddie
Oh, you dominate.
Lunchbox
Dude, I'd crush those people.
Amy
How do they know they're. I mean I saw them doing it but like do you have to prove you're asleep?
Bobby Bones
It measured how well people could sleep through distractions and things like mosquito sounds, a little tickling. The winning Guy was an 80 year old man. A 37 year old office worker came in second. Yeah, I think they just like monitor your like you know how the rain will tell you. Sleeping lunchbox could be pretty good. That one.
Lunchbox
I'd be really good. I don't think. I mean tickling may. May wake me up. That may be a little weird, but I don't think I'd hear a mosquito bugging me.
Bobby Bones
People were asking if at iheart country I ran into whom I didn't want to run into. I did not run into them. So all good.
Eddie
Thank goodness.
Bobby Bones
Let's just say I think they knew better. Let's just say.
Lunchbox
Did you see that? Was that person there?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
Okay, so they weren't allowed in.
Bobby Bones
I didn't. No, that wasn't the case. Oh, I didn't see them. I don't know. Maybe they were. I don't know. I did not see them though. But that Nothing happened. Good. So I didn't have to throw hands. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, thankfully.
Bobby Bones
Thankfully. All right, that's it. Thank you, everybody. We appreciate you being here. We're gonna see you tomorrow, everybody Feel good about coming in tomorrow?
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
So far, great deal. All right. That's all she wrote. We'll see you tomorrow, everybody.
