[Bobby Bones]

Everybody wrote. Yeah, we have Megan on with us right now. Hey Megan, what's going on?

[Megan]

Hey, good morning, studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Megan]

I was hoping to get some advice from you guys, a couple weeks ago, there was a fire at my house. It was 11:30 at night. My husband and our 2 year old were both asleep. And a neighbor who I never met before happened to be getting home from the gym. He saw smoke coming from our backyard and came and rang the doorbell. I only knew because I got the notification on my phone that the ring doorbell was going. So I don't know how to thank this guy. I don't know if he's old enough to drink, but I know you guys have come up with reward ideas if you find somebody's wallet or Amy's ring, that sort of thing. So any idea how to thank a stranger?

[Bobby Bones]

You know how to get back in touch with him, right?

[Megan]

A neighbor gave me his. Another neighbor gave me his phone number. I've texted, but I have not heard back.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine this. Were you Megan, and you saw someone's house and there was a smoke coming from the backyard and you saved them. What kind of reward would you expect?

[Megan]

You know, not expect, as much as I'd like to know they were okay. So even a letter, honestly, there's no financial or even physical thing that would make me feel good about saving somebody.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you answered your own question there. I think we hold ourselves sometimes to a higher standard going, I really got to go above and beyond when. If it were the other way around, you would just want someone to say thank you. So I think if you can do that, write a letter, like with your hand and be able to get that to them. And then also a Starbucks gift card for 100 bucks. Because he may not, she may not. You said he, right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He may not need or be able to drink or. But everybody can use a little Starbucks, right?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I would say the letter is the main part of it. But if you're thinking, I don't know, I should do more Starbucks is kind of right down the middle. But you answered your own question. So don't think you have to go and buy them a car or throw them a parade. What they did was something they naturally felt they needed to do, the same way that you would do that because you would feel like it was naturally the thing you needed to do. That's awesome. I'm glad they did that. I hope you can get in touch with them. I feel like now they're kind of avoiding you.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, well, no, I don't know that they are, but I was thinking, like, what a blessing. I mean, he may not, like, I don't know what her text said, but did she clarify exactly who she was?

[Bobby Bones]

Megan, what'd your text say?

[Megan]

My text said that we're indebted to him forever. That if he ever needs help moving a sofa or a job reference, anything that he needs, he can come to us.

[Bobby Bones]

The job reference is kind of funny.

[Amy]

So he must be younger, like, and

[Bobby Bones]

he's out at 11 o'. Clock.

[Amy]

He was at the gym.

[Eddie]

He was at the gym.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

11 o'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock. Yeah. He probably wasn't even awake when you texted him. Look, you answer the question, write him a letter and give him a gift card to Starbucks and just say, hey, we're here if you ever need anything. We'd love to be able to pay it back in the letter. And then don't hold yourself so accountable because you would have done the same thing for anybody else.

[Eddie]

True.

[Megan]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Good. That's awesome. I'm glad that happened. Is everything okay with the house? Like, what was it?

[Megan]

We think it was an electric fire. The people have not. The fire inspector has not made it out there yet. We are out of our house for three months because there's some structural damage, but nothing inside was. Was touched.

[Bobby Bones]

Those electric fires are crazy out there.

[Megan]

Just in time.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't really predict them. Like, we could leave and something you plugged in a lamp could just go be a bad lamp. Bad plug.

[Amy]

Lamp timer.

[Bobby Bones]

You have timers on your lamp? Fancy.

[Amy]

Well, I don't, but in fourth grade, my friend Kristen's house burnt down from a lamp timer.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

And it burned down to the ground.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that because lamp timers were an old timey thing?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Does anybody have a lamp timer?

[Amy]

I don't know. Ever since fourth grade, I'm like, I will never have a lamp timer.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like our butter churn caught on fire once in the kitchen.

[Amy]

I think it was for, like, safety measures. Like, it would keep the lamp on for a certain amount of time and then turn off.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm familiar with the concept of the timer.

[Amy]

Like, I won't even have. Like, my son was once gifted one of those clap on clap offs, which was so fun. But then it terrified me. Like, what if it starts a fire?

[Bobby Bones]

But is that everything then you plug in?

[Amy]

No, I unplugged it.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you leave when you leave your house? You unplug everything Even to come to work? Everything is.

[Amy]

No, but I suppose I should.

[Bobby Bones]

Megan, thank you for your call. I think that's all you need to do. Thank you for listening and thanks for calling.

[Megan]

Thank you all right, bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Hey, you guys can call us anytime. 877-77. Bobby, you following the cartel stuff?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm really, really worried about people that have been stuck there.

[Bobby Bones]

It's on vacation.

[Amy]

Yeah, just in Puerto Vallarta trying to relax and have a good time.

[Bobby Bones]

So the Mexican military ended up killing one of the heads of the cartel.

[Eddie]

Well, Mencho.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I never know if I can say that stuff because I never know if I like bad. A bad word?

[Eddie]

No, it's just a nickname.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you, but I never heard the nickname bad words. So they. So people that are there are just. They would just say hunker down if you're an American. Like, just don't go out. Stay in it. Crazy.

[Eddie]

Their tick tock is all over it. Like all these that's around TikTok is. Are crazy.

[Amy]

Apparently he's also known as Lord of the Roosters.

[Bobby Bones]

Why Matt?

[Amy]

I contextual, like contacts from the nickname.

[Bobby Bones]

What's. What's Minjo?

[Jill Winterstein]

Minjo.

[Eddie]

It's like just a nickname off his name. Like his name is like something Jajenso. And so they just call it mention.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought a judge.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm making it up. But it's. It's a nickname off one of his names.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I have a Bobby cast. It's up as of today with Mariana Van Zeller. And that's what she does. She goes and she stays with the cartel and like travels with them.

[Amy]

And she was just so insane.

[Bobby Bones]

It's insane. She was talking about how once the Mexican military was trying to kill the cartel that she was with covering them, and she had to make a decision because they would have killed her because they thought she was with the cartel. And the cartel, they jump in cars, they drive off, and she's like, do we chase and run with the cartel or do we hide when the Mexican marines are coming to kill them? And so she had rolled the cartel.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. That's when I would get one of those orange vests that says news.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, they don't care. Cartel could put those on. There are no rules.

[Amy]

I don't know. There has to be a way. Sort of like when news people are

[Bobby Bones]

covering a war in America.

[Amy]

But I mean, golly, that's just. She's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

There are areas of war where news people can go. She goes and stays with the cartel. Like, embeds herself with them, which is wild. So I did a whole episode with her. It's on podcast audio, but also it's on Netflix. Today and just go search for the Bobby cast. But I asked her a question. I was like, you ever feel like you're gonna die? She was like, I understand that. It's always there. But she spends so much time gaining their trust that they. By the time she goes down and spends time with them, she kind of feels a bit protected.

[Amy]

Huh. See, I feel like they're the type of people, they'd murder their own child if they had to.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really. I asked, I said, hey, what's up with people in the cartel in Mexico? She goes, their dads did it. Their grandpa's did it. It's like. And it's the. And there are a lot of towns that benefit from the money that comes in that people get to eat because of it. So it's far more 4 and 5d than we think, where it's like, make drugs are bad, only kill. And that's definitely a part of it. But she humanizes it a bit in that if you grow up and there are kids who aren't part of, like, the families of the cartel that she talks about, that they end up running drugs because they want to get to college. They don't have any money for college. So the only options for them to work is to put drugs in their backpack on a bike and go across different territories. And that's the only way that they can really make money to have a chance to get out. So they do that. It's crazy. The episode's up now. It's crazy. And she goes and stays. She even goes with these black market hackers and goes and spends time with them.

[Amy]

See, I feel okay about being with a black market hacker versus cartel Chapo.

[Bobby Bones]

She was talking about one of the hackers that she was with in another country. She was like, don't you feel guilty taking money from people? And I forget if it was Guatemala or if it was a country like that. And they were like, no, because I see in their bank accounts. And she said, well, okay, but everybody's money's different. She's like, some people even have up to $1,000. And $1,000 to them is like millions, right? So they're going, they have a thousand dollars. We don't feel bad because they have so little.

[Jill Winterstein]

Right?

[Amy]

Whereas that thousand won't go as far here as it will go there.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. What an interesting person.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, that's. But I don't know if you were keeping track of what was happening down now.

[Amy]

I mean, just bits and pieces of what I see people posting even People that are like, the tourists that are there that are getting on. Yeah. Like, either TikTok or Instagram. And they're like, well, I'm at my hotel. I haven't left today. One woman was like, I did decide to take the kids down to the pool for a little bit. And I was like, no chance.

[Bobby Bones]

We're doing it in a bathtub today, kids. All right, back in just a second.

[Amy]

Bobby Bone, come on.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a listener. Her mom called and she said, hey, my daughter's making bracelets for this charity. We buy some. So I bought them all, and so I have them here. She made everybody bracelets. Do you want to know? Let's see. This one says movie mic. There you go.

[Eddie]

Like for advertising, Like.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Why would I wear it?

[Eddie]

Makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

I just thought it'd be funny. All right, let's do some voicemails. Go at number one.

[Megan]

I am home alone with my three year old listening to Monday's post show and that knock sent me to my knees. I had to call you guys in real time because that scared my heart.

[Lunchbox]

I can't even.

[Megan]

I can't even. I can't even speak. What in the world, Eddie?

[Bobby Bones]

I saw a TikTok last night that hit me with that. Luckily, Eddie hit us with that knock yesterday. Something ak yeah, it says ak And I wasn't fooled by it, but I think I would have been fooled because what they had done, it wasn't a pure black screen. The one I was watching, something else was happening and they did that over it and it sounded like somebody knocking on the door.

[Eddie]

Did you have your. Your headphones on your AirPods?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's where it gets real creepy on the phone. I don't think I would have fallen for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, same AirPods in though. It definitely worked. Okay, next one.

[Megan]

Number two, Thomas Rhett Die Happy man just came on our local station and I do remember when he first released that song. I was on my way to work and you said that was going to make him a big deal and it did. Also than a year ago you said the next big thing was going to be Riley Green. And guess what? He is. You definitely know what you're talking about. And I love you guys. Take care.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, thank you for the credit. I think those, both of those, Thomas, right, and Riley Green, they're both such dynamic performers and stars and songwriters. That really wasn't a hard prediction. But I appreciate you giving me credit for that. I think you kind of look at both of them and realize they were next up to be monsters. But thank you very much.

[Eddie]

You're country music Nostradamus.

[Bobby Bones]

Used to be a lot more than I am now. Used to care a lot more. I don't care as much anymore how

[Eddie]

much thought went into those. Like you just kind of be like, I can see that happening.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know what the situation was. I was probably just talking about it. I shouldn't say I don't care as much. There's just so much more. I can't possibly know everything like I used to. The great thing about the landscape now is anybody can launch from anywhere. You don't have to be in Nashville. All you gotta have is phone. So it's impossible to monitor it to the level that I used to because I Can't see everything all the time. Therefore I don't have a finger on the pulse like I used to as much. So that's what I mean by don't care as much. It's impossible to care the same amount. I can't cover it all. Next one.

[Lunchbox]

Whenever Bobby is trying to play his

[Megan]

little heart out on Wheel of Fortune and struggling.

[Lunchbox]

One thing though, if you make it

[Bobby Bones]

to the final round, you still get to give three consonants and a vow to help you. Absolutely. It's going to be difficult if you're just trying to figure it out up

[Lunchbox]

there with the letters that are given already.

[Bobby Bones]

Love the show. Try it again. Yeah, that's hard. Of all the game shows I've often said, the one I would be the worst at is Wheel of Fortune because I used to play it a lot with my grandma and she was awesome at it and I'm bad and that's the one I get invited to do. So I'm gonna practice.

[Eddie]

You know what he's saying about the.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no idea. I just stopped listening.

[Eddie]

Okay. He's saying that once you get up there, you're gonna spin the wheel and you're gonna get more consonants and vowels rather than the way we did it on the screen where we were.

[Bobby Bones]

Just because it starts completely empty.

[Eddie]

It doesn't. It starts with those letters that they give you.

[Bobby Bones]

Not at the beginning of every round, does it? Yeah, every round. I thought, are you sure that's not true? I've been watching on YouTube, you start 100 empty. Yes. It's all. There are no letters.

[Amy]

That's. If you're doing that. If you get called up to the

[Bobby Bones]

front, that's the last. That's that one.

[Eddie]

Yes. Got it, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Got. Yeah, yeah. It starts with nothing because you have to make money.

[Eddie]

And then you start spinning the wheel.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm afraid I get up and spin the wheel and be like, I can't even spin the wheel all the way around.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you imagine? All right, number four lunchbox. Someone is unappreciative of anything they get for free.

[Megan]

You're going on a seven day cruise

[Bobby Bones]

for free and you get paid for it. Stop complaining. And if you want to get the executive sweet like Amy and Bobby, put

[Megan]

in more effort, do more stuff for

[Bobby Bones]

the show, all you do is complain. And if you don't want to go once you send Abby, I'm sure it should be appreciative of what she gets offer. You'll have a great time. Any response?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, I'll be Working plenty hard for the show, so don't worry about that. I'll be working a lot harder. And. Yeah. So. And Abby in my place, then Amy, so don't worry about that. And Abby in my place. They would put her in my place if she was on my level. She's not, so people would be disappointed.

[Amy]

I wouldn't complain.

[Bobby Bones]

That's his response.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, accept that.

[Eddie]

So. So Lunchbox did more work. Like, he's saying, like, more work on the show. He could. You think he could surpass Amy?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy has, like.

[Eddie]

What could Lunchbox do to surpass Amy? Sure. Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. This. Surpass is a weird word.

[Lunchbox]

I'd have to have a chain. Gender change.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, I don't think it's. I don't think it's better being female.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think Eddie's closed a lot of the gap. And you're a dude.

[Eddie]

I'm a man. Yes. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie closed the gap. On who?

[Bobby Bones]

On you.

[Lunchbox]

Not even close.

[Eddie]

You want to fight?

[Lunchbox]

No, there's no fight.

[Bobby Bones]

Who would win a fight Fight?

[Amy]

I do not want to fight.

[Lunchbox]

It's just statistics.

[Amy]

I mean, Launchbox is scrappy.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Come on.

[Amy]

And then Eddie's like, I gotta protect my kidney.

[Eddie]

I'm stronger and stronger.

[Bobby Bones]

I gotta protect my kidney.

[Eddie]

Oh, just in case I donate it,

[Amy]

you're probably, you know, getting a ball.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, when I say the name Bonnie Blue, what do you think? Bonnie Blue.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Amy]

Oh. She's the one where people line up to have sex with her.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. Adult content creator Bonnie Blue is claiming she's pregnant weeks after having unprotected sex with 400 men. I've been sick. A headache. When I say headache, I mean mega migraine. She explained Feb. 22. I have a clip here. Her real name's Tia Billinger. She decided to take a pregnancy test, admitting she was a little bit nervous, and she returned to the camera to show the results.

[Amy]

Say, that is a pretty, like. It's like half pink, half white. Kind of looks like a drumstick, actually, guys. Yeah, definitely pregnant. Like, fully pregnant. So I'm gonna have to chat gbt what to do next, because I actually not quite sure. Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're one of the 400 men. If you're all the 400 men, are you going, I wonder if that was me or are you, like, there's no chance? It comes back to me.

[Eddie]

There's a chance.

[Amy]

I mean, does she.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

She doesn't even know. And I would assume. Are they. I just saw everybody use Protection.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that is specifically unprotected. I would assume they all have been Tested though, for STDs before. It happens.

[Eddie]

Yeah. How long ago was that?

[Bobby Bones]

Weeks. They said weeks after having.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Amy]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Good luck to the happy couple, man.

[Eddie]

And then the baby's gonna be like, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think that alone will be what the baby wows about. I think her mom has a pretty wild story in general.

[Eddie]

Oh, like, what do you mean? What's. What's wrestling?

[Bobby Bones]

She did hundreds. She does it all the time.

[Eddie]

Oh, she does it all the time. I thought it was like a one time deal.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

Well, obviously there was a thousand and there's four.

[Bobby Bones]

She went to another country. I forget what. The country was near Australia and she was like driving around a bus doing it. And they kicked her out. Remember they put her in like.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's right. I didn't see that. I saw it on the news.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, there's. That's my story. I got a couple.

[Amy]

That is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to start with something like

[Amy]

how that story makes me feel. I know, because, like, I feel bad. Like, I don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike. Bali. Bali.

[Eddie]

Bali. That was the bus.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Bali bus. What do you have over there?

[Amy]

Who, what character is Zachary T. Bryan from Home Improvement?

[Bobby Bones]

The older brother or die Brian Older brother.

[Amy]

What was his name, though, on the show?

[Eddie]

Zach.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Brad.

[Amy]

Yes, Brad.

[Eddie]

Was that one of the kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Morris, Stay by the bell?

[Amy]

No, no, but his name is Zachary in real life.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's why you're saying.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So he's Zachary Ty Bryant, I believe

[Amy]

is Zachary Ty Bryant. So he was Brad on Home Improvement. So he just was sentenced 16 months from a 20, 24 DUI. But in that, like, I think he went in hoping the judge would have some leniency, but the judge was not in a forgiving mood at all. So he's got over a year behind bars. His probation was denied. And I guess I realized through it and a lot of other people that that's his third dui.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So he had two priors and if he gets a fourth one, penalties are going to be even more harsh. And so it's just so sad. Like, I still picture him being like that kid on tv, which obviously he's a grown adult now, but has a lot of the same features. You can definitely tell it's him.

[Bobby Bones]

He had a really cool haircut on the show. Yeah, they had cool haircuts, but they were also like my age, so I thought it was cool. But he had. He had the undercut for a while in the back. And opponent, you know, he'd cut it under.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Back. Yeah.

[Amy]

So hopefully this 16 months in jail will do something for him for rehabilitation or change.

[Bobby Bones]

He was. He was Brad Taylor.

[Amy]

Brad Taylor.

[Bobby Bones]

Then Randy was the middle one.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

And the youngest.

[Bobby Bones]

Mark.

[Eddie]

Mark.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember that as I get older, I feel worse for kid actors.

[Amy]

Mm. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Especially when you become a parent.

[Amy]

It's like, name one that's turned out okay, like Selena Gomez.

[Bobby Bones]

And she had. And has had her demons. Right.

[Eddie]

What about Jerry o'? Connell? I feel like he's kind of okay.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he's everywhere, man. They give him a lot of shows.

[Eddie]

Still working.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think that you can pick out some good ones. I think it's much easier to find the ones that really struggled because, again, all. All their identity as a kid is an actor. They're not going to school, having normal, learning, normal relationships, and then they get to the point where they're super famous, and then they can't actually meet that ever again. Their whole life is chasing that or their whole life is being this kid character as an adult. There's just a lot of. A lot of stuff to unpack there.

[Lunchbox]

The Olsen twins, they did pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

They stopped doing stuff.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they.

[Bobby Bones]

They were just like, we're done. We're out. And so we're going to do fashion. And they had a bunch of money and they just stopped pretty.

[Lunchbox]

So neither one of them act anymore or.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't think they act at all.

[Amy]

I mean, they have a clothing line.

[Lunchbox]

They have a sister that acts.

[Amy]

Yeah, she's killing it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I heard their clothing lines called the Row, I believe, is very expensive, and there are no brands. You wouldn't know it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I probably wouldn't.

[Amy]

Or, like, logos.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah. Sorry.

[Lunchbox]

What about no brand logo? What's that girl's name? Dakota Fanning. Was she a kid? Does she still act?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she's killing it, and her sister's killing it. Elle.

[Amy]

They're both gonna be in the Nightingale, which is the book I read earlier this year, and they're making a movie, and they're the sisters. So there's sisters in the book, and they're sisters in real life, and they're playing sisters in the movie.

[Bobby Bones]

You know who's had it rough? Amanda Bynes.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Tragic.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, it's just. I think the support that's around the kids. Maybe if I didn't think about talking about this, but I know people who were successful as children, but had really good success. Like I was talking to Hunter Hayes recently and he was a teenager when he hit. He was a. He was a four year old playing major festivals. Playing the. This thing.

[Eddie]

Accordion.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And so he got famous being a musician. He was on I think Star service on everything. But his family was right there with him.

[Amy]

Justin Timberlake.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He was on Star Search, by the way. You ever see that?

[Amy]

That's what made me think of him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I forget what song he was singing, but it's very country. It was like Achy Breaky Heart or something.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know what it was but he or like Two of a Kind, working on a Full house or something like that. What do you see? Justin Timberlake on Star Search. It was good, but he was in full cowboy.

[Amy]

Yeah, definitely. Country boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Love's got a hold on you. Alan Jackson. Yeah. 1992, an 11 year old Justin Timberlake performing as Justin Randall. That was his name? No, probably his real name.

[Eddie]

Oh, Timberlake's his stage name.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably right. If you're guessing of the two,

[Eddie]

huh. I think like Justin Randall would be his middle name.

[Bobby Bones]

You're exactly right.

[Eddie]

Justin Randall Timberlake.

[Bobby Bones]

You're exactly right.

[Amy]

You know what's popular?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought Timberlake just sounded cooler, so that'd be like a stage name. But no, you're right.

[Amy]

You know what's popular from the Olsen twins? That's free because obviously, yeah, their clothing line is very, very expensive. But there's something called the Olsen Tuck. Do you know what it is?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was on Silence of the Lambs.

[Amy]

What are you talking about? What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Mike? You get that one? Yeah. Thank you. Go ahead.

[Amy]

I don't want to know. But it's like when you put like a shirt or sweater over your hair and it's like your hair is tucked into your sweater and you leave it. There was that thing and it's called the Olsen Tuck and a lot of people are doing that. And so that's a way to do something the Olsen's are doing. That's not thousands of dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

The Olsen Tuck sounds like mangina.

[Eddie]

That's what you're saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Take your wiener and you tuck it behind you and it looks like you have a vagina. If it's a dude.

[Amy]

No, this is definitely very different. And you can do it in public and like look cute and does the

[Eddie]

hair itch and like make your body itch?

[Amy]

I mean, I guess, I don't know. Sometimes like when I put my hoodie on or like a turtleneck on. No, you Leave your hair in. I get Eddie's. Because, like, the hair's all on your neck and stuff. But it's a vibe, so try it. The Olsen Tuck.

[Bobby Bones]

And then give mangina a try later today.

[Amy]

Yeah, Let us know how it goes.

[Bobby Bones]

Report back about mangina.

[Amy]

Yeah. Ew. Was that really on Silence of the Lambs?

[Bobby Bones]

He, like, tucked it in.

[Lunchbox]

He's Buffalo Bill.

[Bobby Bones]

Buffalo Bill. Oh. Baskin does what it's told.

[Amy]

I guess. It's been a minute since I watched that movie.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that I've ever seen it all the way through. I just know the reference. That's me in most movies because I never really been a movie guy, but I just know that. And then I have. I know somebody who does mangina as a joke.

[Amy]

Are you saying that no one said anything? I've heard that. Isn't that someone kind of known.

[Bobby Bones]

I told you that. Yeah, yeah. I told you the story about angina. I'll not say who it is.

[Amy]

I know, I know. It's a great story, but it's really crazy. It's crazy things that they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay, wait.

[Lunchbox]

Back to your Jesse McCartney point. You never finished.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Jesse McCartney. Justin Timberlake.

[Lunchbox]

What's the guy's name?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think anybody said Jesse McCartney.

[Eddie]

I don't remember that name.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, he did say Hunter Hayes. I don't even know. Oh, he had good parents. He had family.

[Amy]

Yeah, he had good.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

Jesse McCartney, though. Child.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Child singer.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's trying to make. He's still doing his thing.

[Lunchbox]

So does Hunter Hayes still sing, or is he just, like, chilling?

[Bobby Bones]

No, he's got a new record that's coming out. He just did the Bobby Cat. We taped it. So. Yeah, he, though, got to the point. I'm not kidding about Hunter Hayes. So he had songs like I wanna make you feel. Yeah. Wanted, Storm Warning, and was a monster as a teenager. Like, out of the box. He's. And I told him this in the interview, so I don't feel bad telling you guys this. I think he's so smart. He has trouble communicating with people.

[Amy]

I wonder what that would be like in normal conversation.

[Eddie]

We would never know, Amy. Ever.

[Lunchbox]

Well, we got Morgan. She's highly intelligent.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no need to attack.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no need to attack. There's no need to attack. There's literally no need to attack for any reason whatsoever in that conversation. She's not even taking literally. She's over there working like on her laptop?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I. I didn't attack. I was just commenting.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you did attack.

[Lunchbox]

No, she may relate because she's highly intelligent.

[Bobby Bones]

You literally attacked because you always say she's dumb. So you just wanted to get back into that conversation.

[Lunchbox]

It was just. It was. It was a good transition.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't.

[Lunchbox]

Morgan, do you have trouble communicating because you're so highly intelligent?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I have trouble communicating with you.

[Eddie]

Oh, because he's not highly intelligent.

[Bobby Bones]

He is stupid.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that was good.

[Eddie]

Not stupid.

[Lunchbox]

You're stupid.

[Amy]

I feel like Morgan's about to come into a season of really showing lunchbox.

[Jill Winterstein]

What's up?

[Eddie]

Oh, like punch him in the face.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

That'd be crazy. She gets tired of him one day, just like Pop.

[Amy]

Well, that might be not allowed.

[Eddie]

Oh, you would allow that, right?

[Amy]

Well, not.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I'd put up.

[Amy]

I told you go to HR so fast.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd put up a thousand bucks for a boxing match if it was a legit one between the two of them.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you tried that.

[Amy]

He won't do it because he knows then Morgan would win.

[Eddie]

Morgan will beat.

[Lunchbox]

That's what it is.

[Amy]

It is.

[Eddie]

Do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie, you boxer.

[Eddie]

No. She'll beat me up. Yeah, 100%.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones.

[Ben Higgins]

Awkward time to ask this, but. Hey, did you download the trail map?

[Amy]

people sleeping in different rooms, on different houses, in different places, but just an

embracing of the is not of it all.

[Amy]

What if mind control is real?

[Bobby Bones]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Amy]

Can you hip hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Amy]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Ben Higgins]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Amy]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Eddie]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Amy]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted.

Listen to if youf Can Hear me on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, next up, lunchbox, your story.

[Lunchbox]

Man, this is a crazy one. There's this woman and dude. They were high school sweethearts. Mary got two kids back in 2005. Then 20, 21, he gets in a car wreck, suffers a traumatic brain injury. He lives, and she takes care of him. And now she's met a new dude. A new dude lives with him and helps take care of the husband.

[Bobby Bones]

I get it. That's a really unfortunate situation, and you figure it out the best you can. You still love the person that's been in the accident. They can't provide certain needs. It could be. It doesn't have to even be physical, but you made a vow, and you're taking care of them. And also, you also have to somehow go along with your life. That's. I don't hear weird. I hear that's very difficult.

[Amy]

I hear beautiful.

[Lunchbox]

Well, no, no. But the dude coming in from the outside, like, I don't know that I would be like, yeah, I'll take care of your husband with you. Like that.

[Amy]

That's the beautiful.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's the difficult part.

[Eddie]

I wasn't thinking about that side of it. I was thinking of the guy sitting there brain dead, being like, I can't communicate. Like my wife. Like, what are you doing?

[Lunchbox]

That's another.

[Eddie]

See her dude every day. You don't want him helping.

[Bobby Bones]

You just think there's a maturity that you probably get through out of necessity if something happens to you. Like in all of their cases, let's say the guy that was injured. I don't know how he was injured. You say a car accident.

[Amy]

I feel like I've seen this couple.

[Bobby Bones]

If he is able to understand what's happening, because I don't know how severe his injury is.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

It says traumatic brain injury. It doesn't tell me.

[Bobby Bones]

There's probably part of him that's grateful is being taken care of, but there's probably also a part of him that loves her so much, he wants her to be happy, and he's not able to provide psychological, emotional, physical. So, yes, beautiful and difficult can be the same thing. Yeah, but I'm with you. Like, I feel like, that's a level that I am not to. But I don't think it's a level I could not get to in any of their places. All three of those are very difficult. Him, him, and her, they all have to be at a place and meet at a place of maturity and understanding and thankfulness.

[Eddie]

I'm going to be thinking about this one all day.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you watch a dude go mangina on your wife. I think you probably stay in your own room.

[Eddie]

Well, you have no control. If you're just.

[Amy]

Yeah, but they're gonna be respectful.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, what if start doing it in front of you?

[Eddie]

What if they're just, oh, I forgot, he's right there.

[Amy]

That's not gonna happen. It's not like it's like a dog.

[Eddie]

And then, like, you have.

[Bobby Bones]

Like.

[Eddie]

I feel. I feel like every couple should have this conversation today. Be like, all right, look, if I'm in a car wreck and I'm, like, brain damaged, I don't want. Just. I don't know, I don't want to be there. You know, like, you should have this conversation. Like, what are you gonna do with me?

[Bobby Bones]

But what if they did have it?

[Eddie]

And he's like, there's no way he agreed to that.

[Bobby Bones]

To what? Stay alive.

[Eddie]

Stay alive and be there as the three of you guys and have the

[Amy]

new husband help take care of him.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't.

[Eddie]

Would you agree with that?

[Bobby Bones]

Is that my only option, though? No, they may not have other options. He may not have other family.

[Eddie]

Oh, I think about so.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what to play here.

[Eddie]

And that would just be so hard.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely, I agree with that. And you have to be at a place of maturity to be able to handle all of that. That's a lot.

[Lunchbox]

That's a lot on your plate, find

[Amy]

two loves like that lucky, like Eddie.

[Lunchbox]

Like, are you gonna go home and tell your wife? Like, look, if I get in a car wreck, no other dude comes in this house.

[Eddie]

I think we're gonna have to do something with the will, like, or something. Like, we have to come up with an agreement. Because I don't like that. I don't like that.

[Amy]

I don't think anybody likes a traumatic brain injury.

[Ben Higgins]

You.

[Amy]

Let's say you turn about five years old.

[Eddie]

Okay, Like, I go down to five years old.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, you now have the functioning. You're functioning as a five year old, and you need help. Maybe even less than that, depending. Because I think he's also in a Wheelchair. So like there's other things. Like be needing help, being bathed. So not just you're not. You're mentally five, but you're physically maybe younger than that. So what do you do? Like, you need help and you also don't want her to like just live this life so lonely and spending the rest of her life caring for you.

[Bobby Bones]

All of them have had to sacrifice.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What's per. Finger quotes. Perfect. All three of them.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Even the other dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because you think he meets somebody that's perfect and it's like, oh, wow, you're still living with your ex husband who had that accident and he's going to live. Like all of them have to give something in order to get. Yeah. Very difficult.

[Eddie]

That's a tough one.

[Amy]

I mean, you're right. I wonder if people should have this conversation.

[Eddie]

I feel like we should. I feel like I'm gonna have it.

[Amy]

But once you turn five, you may not care as much.

[Eddie]

But what. What if you're just like, hey, if I'm gonna turn five, like just.

[Amy]

What's the doctor and Dr. Kevorkian.

[Eddie]

Doctor.

[Lunchbox]

He's not around.

[Bobby Bones]

Like euthanasia, something like go to Utah. That may. That may not be a thing. And also that costs a lot of money. Unless they're gonna do it like an old school vet.

[Eddie]

Well, I think it's cheaper than keeping me alive for the next like.

[Bobby Bones]

But this. The choice may not happen. There may not be able to be a choice, but it is a conversation too. If you want to be unplugged or not. Never unplug me. Leave me running.

[Eddie]

You gotta drip, drip, drip.

[Bobby Bones]

They may come up with something, but

[Eddie]

this could be you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, cool. Leave me. Buy me a second house. I got enough money. I got enough money. You do? You can do your thing, you can get. I want you to be happy, but keep me in a second house.

[Eddie]

You don't want to be there. That's the hard part.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think I'm mature enough at this stage because I haven't had these circumstances presented to me. Because this is forcible maturity.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

This is like, this is not. Somebody's ready for that before it happens. This is people having to make tough decisions as things happen. And I think it's very difficult. And I think Amy's right. It's really beautiful that they all three can do that. Because there's a sacrifice for all of them, everybody involved.

[Eddie]

There's two doing it. The third has no choice.

[Bobby Bones]

He really kind of like, he really depends on his. It Depends on his ability to communicate, because he could communicate. I don't like this. I don't want you to have this.

[Lunchbox]

Well, then she said that he's able to say hi, and that's about it. He doesn't. I have to tell him when it's time to eat.

[Amy]

But does he remember, like, that was his wife?

[Lunchbox]

She didn't say.

[Eddie]

All he can say is, hi, dude, this is not good.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then what do you want to do with them?

[Amy]

But he can still, like, he still lives, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you want to do with.

[Amy]

Do, like, fun things.

[Bobby Bones]

You keep saying it's not good, but what. What's the other option?

[Amy]

He. Death. Eddie just wants to die.

[Eddie]

I think yours is perfect, man. Put me in another home.

[Bobby Bones]

People may not have that money.

[Eddie]

Right. But if you do go to another

[Bobby Bones]

house, you don't know their situation or.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, have it. That's so expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

Kevork is dead.

[Eddie]

Whoever. Aren't there more of those guys?

[Bobby Bones]

That's easy to say when it ain't you. I. That's a really remarkable story.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I just saw it. I was like, wow. That is.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a wowzer for sure.

[Amy]

All right, go. Yeah. Have conversations with your significant other.

[Eddie]

Thinker, man. I've never thought of that before.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy, Morgan.

[Morgan]

So this is a crazy squatter situation that's happening in New York. So this guy was living in this $13 million Upper east side townhouse, and he had a housekeeper. Well, he died in November 2025, so about four months ago now. And the housekeeper has been squatting in the home ever since and will not leave.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting.

[Morgan]

Will not come out. Has been like. Police have been called, attorneys have showed up. Somebody. They even hired a locksmith to get into the house, and she ran at the locksmith and, like, charged him, and then both sides called the police, and the police made the locksmith leave.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm always so intrigued because this person's not going to leave the house. They have created their own prison, because if they leave, the minute they leave, no longer there. They're done. Now, I get it's an awesome house, but they've created their own prison. I just feel like I would go black market, buy somebody to go in and beat them up and get them out. I just feel like that's what I would do, and I hope it doesn't come that this has to happen, and then it does happen, because I really. I didn't do it in the future, but I think I could just hire somebody to burglarize the house and beat them up and get them out of there. And I had nothing to do with it. Oh, looks like the house is empty now. Like, that's where my mind would go. That's crazy. So what do they think? Like, how does this play out?

[Morgan]

Currently, the estate has sued her, and they're trying to get the house back, But I don't know what's going to happen because I don't. I don't know what the laws of squatting are in New York. I'm shocked she's been able to stay there for four months.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you understand why she's protected? Does everybody understand why she's protected, at least for a while?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let's say you're renting a house for me, and I wanted you out, but at least you still had nine months left on your lease. But I'm like, I want them out because I want to sell it now, make some money. This dude does not. He cannot stay there. He doesn't own this house. He's squatting. Okay, well, let's get him out. You got to go through a process, and it is wild to think that someone can just squat and get it, but it's to protect people. It's not to protect the squatters. It's to protect the people that are living somewhere that are unfairly being thrown out of places. And part of that coverage is protecting squatters, which is crazy.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, well, there's a woman in Maryland. She's been in this $2.3 million mansion. She went to jail. Jail. They went to court, all this. Served a couple weeks in jail. She's back in the mansion.

[Bobby Bones]

But when she's gone, why don't they just move in, change locks?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

That was dumb on them.

[Bobby Bones]

But is it because she's claiming it's her house?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So again, squatters win in this situation because it's to protect people that aren't squatters, that are being unfairly evicted from places.

[Eddie]

So what's stopping this? The literature. The literature to say squatters. The definition of a squatter is someone living in a place that is not theirs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So you have to go through a process to prove that they're literally squatting. Right. So it's eviction court. You really aren't here. Because if you just went. I own the place. You're staying in my place. Squatting. I promise. Okay, we have to kick him out. He owns it. Even though you say you're renting it, you gotta.

[Eddie]

But there's paperwork right Rental paperwork.

[Bobby Bones]

I could. I could create fake paperwork.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody can. It's just. It's a protection. But it's crazy how much it allows people to do what Morgan's talking about.

[Morgan]

But, like, isn't there laws against breaking and staying somewhere you're not supposed to be? Right, so, like, you're. If you don't own the home.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, but let's do this scenario again where Lunchbox is staying at a place, renting it from me. He broke in. He really didn't. He's staying there. He's renting the place for me. But I'm like, nope, he broke in. Kick him out. Okay, we'll kick him out. He lost all his protection because I lied. So it is to protect people, to give them enough time to prove they don't belong there, to protect people that do belong there that are being unfairly kicked out. I hope that I communicated that properly, but it is. That law exists to protect people from being unfairly kicked out. It doesn't. And by doing that, it protects people like squatters that are there illegally.

[Morgan]

So how do you. I mean, you have to change that law then, right? That separates the two.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a changing law. You have to go through a process to get someone out.

[Morgan]

But, like, so why. I've never understood umbrella laws like that. Like, when they put a law in place and it does a bunch of different things. I. I don't understand that. Like, how are we protecting squatters under this law?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the law automatically protects squatters because it's protecting people for being unfairly kicked out. Yeah, because you have to prove both ways. Either you're being unfairly kicked out, or you're there and you aren't supposed to be there. Like, there just has to be proof. So there just has to be proof. And sometimes proof takes time. And a squatter can be there illegally while time's happening.

[Morgan]

That's just crazy to me.

[Bobby Bones]

It's crazy. Also, by requiring legal eviction, the law avoids confrontations between property owners and occupiers. So it prevents violence. Now I'm reading more about it. Due process, which I was talking about. The legal system treats squatters as tenants in a dispute, requiring court intervention for removal. Because you could easily lie about somebody that's not squatting and say they are squatting, gonna kick down their homeless now, even though they had an agreement.

[Morgan]

And I get that side of it. It's just also crazy because a true squatter is probably gonna do damage to the place.

[Amy]

Right.

[Morgan]

And then you're gonna have to deal with the other side of that.

[Bobby Bones]

All that. All that sucks.

[Amy]

Yeah. It's one of those things where you're like, there's gotta be a better way,

[Eddie]

but there's gotta be.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, yes, I agree. But I do think if you've gotta pick a side, I'd rather protect people from being unfairly homeless. If you have to pick, then kick everybody out. I'd rather some squatters win temporarily than people be unfairly kicked out and be homeless.

[Amy]

Right.

[Jill Winterstein]

It's true.

[Morgan]

It's just crazy. Those, like, umbrella laws are crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

We thought someone had broken into one of my. I guess I lived in a condo here in downtown Nashville. And didn't lunchbox go to the ceiling?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Was living in there.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Live on the air.

[Bobby Bones]

That's kind of stupid. Now, looking back, very safe. Looking back, that's pretty stupid. Yeah. Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelsey, they own a restaurant, a steakhouse called 1587. 15 is Patrick's number, 87 is Travis's number. And they're getting sued by a shoe company called 1587. So they're saying, like, hey, that's our name. You should not have your name. So really, they're not suing for money. They're just suing that they don't have that name on their restaurant because that is their shoe name. And they think it's going to be distracting to people trying to buy shoes.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. I can. I can understand if that is your brand, if you're 1587.

[Eddie]

1587.

[Bobby Bones]

If that is your brand and then someone else has popped up with it, if you have, like, ownership in all 50 states.

[Lunchbox]

The only problem is they didn't file for the trademark till a month after the restaurant opened.

[Eddie]

That's not the problem. The problem is.

[Bobby Bones]

That seems like a problem, though.

[Lunchbox]

That's the problem.

[Eddie]

But that's not the problem. The problem is that 1587, the shoe company, does have a trademark, and they had it before the restaurant. However, it was for a shoe company, not a restaurant also.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a thing.

[Amy]

Yeah. You filed a category.

[Bobby Bones]

When I owned Make America Great again, I only owned apparel. Like, I didn't own restaurants. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

So it. It's probably. I don't know what they're gonna do, but it seems like it's a non. It's gonna be a non issue.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there's some court costs are gonna have to happen because lawyers got to get paid to do this.

[Eddie]

That's true. Gosh, that sucks that you're just. You have a Restaurant and you thought you crossed all the lines. You like, you know, made sure whatever, cross your t's, dot your.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think they crossed t's and dotted I's, though. If they didn't Google 1587. Is that a company?

[Amy]

You mean the restaurant? Yeah, yeah. Because like, if they wanted to trade market, you would think they would run. So, like, when I've gone into meetings like that, the lawyer has a database. I mean, you can even look it up as a person. But I've sat there and watched them go through the database and pull out. Okay, we got this here. This here. This could be problematic. You're gonna file this way. I mean, you think they would feel like it could have been avoided, gone through that process?

[Eddie]

You probably could have just by double check in.

[Bobby Bones]

And even if they checked and there are different, like to trademark something, there are all these categories. There's a million categories. And so they look at it and they go, well, there's a shoe company, but we're doing restaurants. We should probably still reach out and say, hey, we're gonna do restaurants. We'll give you $20,000. Just an agreement that you're not gonna come at us for legal fees for anything. Like, there's a million ways to do that. But yeah, it's crazy, but they. What was the thing about the month?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, so they did not. The sneaker company. Okay. Did not apply for the trademark until October last year.

[Bobby Bones]

For restaurant. No. Even for shoes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, until last October. They did not apply for a. Oh, I thought.

[Amy]

I thought you said they did, Eddie.

[Eddie]

No, for any. No, they had not applied for any

[Lunchbox]

trademark until October a month after the restaurant opened.

[Amy]

So that probably triggered them like, oh, we need to.

[Bobby Bones]

That's their fault.

[Amy]

I get that. That's their fault, but you would think they would be able. They're. They're operating business. They're like, look, we've been doing business as like this company for this amount of time.

[Eddie]

That doesn't matter.

[Bobby Bones]

I can. Well, yes, it does, and I can agree with you, but because they're two different types of business. Because if it were another shoe company that it started, they were like, we've already been going. Right. That your point is completely valid.

[Eddie]

But I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's a restaurant and they wouldn't matter anyway, I guess is their point.

[Amy]

If people get online and Google like 1587, it. Like, it. It's confusing because then a restaurant comes up instead of the shoes.

[Bobby Bones]

I think everybody's wrong. I think everybody did wrong here.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So what happens?

[Amy]

Because even if, like, as a. So for apparel, they would have to. They would have to file the trademark. But before. So you. You have trademark pending, like, it doesn't mean that they're registered. So you have to submit tags and everything to show it has to be a brand too, not just, like a slogan. Selling it. Like, you can sell the stuff before you get the trademark, but you have to, like, for my podcast, working on things like feel, if I want to trademark feelings, I have to submit proof that I have feeling things, like, on a website and I've been operating as this business so that then they can grant it. Or, like, if you've got a shirt, you need to show them what are the tags on the shirt, like, the sales tag, so that way you can get approved. So they should have. I'm sure they were like, oh, dang, we never thought to do this, but

[Bobby Bones]

you think it would be two different categories.

[Amy]

I know that part is weird to me.

[Bobby Bones]

Who cares? Hey, not my problem. You know?

[Eddie]

Hey, not my problem.

[Amy]

1587.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like they both messed up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's a wash.

[Eddie]

So they'd just be like, shake hands.

[Bobby Bones]

Get off my time.

[Eddie]

We're good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a wash. Get on my timeline.

[Amy]

Yeah. Cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm. What are you looking around at?

[Amy]

Just, like, what's next?

[Eddie]

Still crazy that you can just, like, exist and then you get sued. And even if you're right, you still have to pay.

[Lunchbox]

Legal.

[Amy]

I got sued once for that Legal zoom. I got, like, a letter in the mail from an online lawyer.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they sue you or they just threatened you?

[Amy]

Well, I guess they threatened me, but it was when I lived in North Carolina and I franchised with the Cupcake Bar in Austin, and so they were the Cupcake Bar. And since I was franchising, I just took the name, and I was in a teeny, tiny town in North Carolina. This was sort of my hobby. My side hustle. Like, it was. I was on air doing the show with y' all from my house, and then my husband would be working all day or deployed, and I needed. I wanted to, like, meet people and get out and do stuff. So I started the Cupcake Bar. What they were doing Austin, brought it to my tiny town. Well, in Raleigh, North Carolina, there was a cupcake business. They weren't a cupcake bar. Different. They weren't even doing the same concept, but they sold cupcakes, and they were called the Cupcake Bar. And they were doing business in Raleigh, and they had that. And Southern Pines was an hour away. So I just remember I got this thick envelope in the mail and I was in trouble and I had to change the name. I had to change my name. I drove out. The thing that threw me though is like, I. We did the research and when the Lori from Austin, the girl I was franchising with, she flew up to North Carolina and we drove out to these. Their house and met with them and we're like, hey, are you cool with. Like, they acted all cool. And then a couple months later, I got a fat envelope in the mail. They weren't cool with it. I guess they talked to a lawyer and they're like, no, no, no, no, no. So then we had to change the name to Carolina Cupcake Bar. And so that's. That's the way I got around it.

[Bobby Bones]

But there's a girl that I know, and I know her because we had the same college professor. And so we follow each other on TikTok, but. And she's people magnitude. A story about her even today, similar situation viral Baker Chloe Sexton claimed she was threatened with lawsuit over the name of her cookie company. The TikTok star behind Chloe's giant cookies allegedly received a. Do you know Chloe?

[Amy]

I know this story. Yes. I've seen the people campaigning for her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

For her legal fees.

[Bobby Bones]

Allegedly received a cease and desist after she announced her appearance on Gordon Ramsay show Next Level Baker. So she started to get on stuff. So then they were like, oh, I think we'll sue. And so she was threatened with a lawsuit over the name Chloe's Giant Cookies.

[Amy]

And like, Chloe's her name.

[Bobby Bones]

She alleged that a company with a similar name sent her a cease and desist November 2025 after she announced she was going to be on Gordon Ramsay show. She rose to fame selling her baked goods through social media where she also opens up about her personal life. It's just a whole thing.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, her mom had brain cancer. It's like this whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Younger sister's way younger, so it looks like her daughter, but it's her younger sister.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They live in Memphis, I think.

[Amy]

Yeah. I've seen some people that like, adore, obviously adore her, like, spreading the word about her story. And we're like, we're friends.

[Bobby Bones]

So I get like her friend messages just as like the people she knows.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, look, you're like, really friends on Tick Tock.

[Bobby Bones]

We are. Oh, like we've talked off, like in messages, like, oh, yeah, Ms. Robinson. Oh, yeah, Mr. Does.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Robinson's awesome. You know, so that kind of thing, but I've never met her in real life, but I get her friend messages.

[Amy]

Yeah, I have seen her stories blowing up right now.

[Eddie]

I got served when I was 18. Papers.

[Bobby Bones]

For what?

[Eddie]

Hitting a hit and run in New York City. It wasn't me, though. It was another Eddie Garcia.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, you were in what state when they gave you the papers?

[Eddie]

Texas.

[Bobby Bones]

They tracked the wrong Eddie Garcia across the country? Yeah. Boy, what a generic name. Yeah, and my same thing with Mike, like, time they pull Mike into every room and go, you're a felon. Like, to the airport, internationally. Going on TV lots. They're like, oh, Miguel. Nope, can't go through. And Mike's like, I'm not the one who did it. Yeah. When we came back from Costa Rica, they were looking for a guy convicted of murder. And they're like, not him, not me.

[Eddie]

It was a lot. I don't know. But I had to call. And once I got the papers, everything, I called the law firm. I'm like, hey, I think there's a problem. They're like, yeah, you're a New York City cab. You work for this cab company. I'm like, no, man, I'm 18 years old. I live in McAllen, Texas. Never been in New York City.

[Amy]

Wait, who did you. Eddie, did you do a. Who did a handshake recently that said. And we brought up Jerry Maguire, like, strong as oak.

[Lunchbox]

Me.

[Amy]

You. Okay. I thought it was Eddie. When Eddie started talking, made me think that.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Why? What's the point?

[Amy]

Well, handshake deals, like. Yeah. I mean, you were able to get out of that particular situation.

[Eddie]

That's pretty easy.

[Amy]

When they did, it just popped into my head that, like, I drove to those girls house and I thought we had a deal. And then the. The stuff showed up in the mail, and I'm like, well, I guess we didn't have an understanding because I wasn't trying to infringe on their territory. I was doing something totally different. I'm like, I'm just trying to, like, make friends. So it may. I wanted to remind Eddie or whoever made the handshake deal, that lunchbox there's. Who'd you make a handshake deal with, the devil?

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Maybe it was me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I was trying.

[Eddie]

It was you, I think.

[Amy]

Yeah, exactly. Handshake deals don't work. That's why I wanted him to sign.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, verbal agreements often don't work either. Depends where you are and how it was done. If there's a witness, A lot of stuff and everything needs to be signed.

[Eddie]

There's another time, too. I rear ended someone, and the law firm company called me.

[Bobby Bones]

They got the wrong Eddie Garcia.

[Eddie]

No, that was really me.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Eddie]

And they called me and they said, hey, we want all your assets. Like, what do you have?

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

Nothing. I literally have nothing. I'm dad's car. My dad bought this house. Like, I don't have anything. And they're like, dang, okay. All right. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Never heard from again.

[Eddie]

Nothing happened.

[Bobby Bones]

A new survey found that most Americans use AI for personal tasks, not work. It seems so far, people are mostly working with chatbots for stuff like creating workout plans or mixing cocktails. That's from the Daily Iowan. I can tell you, for me, I use it all the time for taking pictures of things going. How do I get. How do I put this together? How do I get this to work? It's great. Chad, gbt. Take a picture of it. What I do. Recently, our alarm. There was some. Some thing on our home alarm. There was, like, an issue with it, and I couldn't get it to set. It had some notification that I wasn't familiar with. I said, what is this? Oh, it looks like there's that. Go up into this. Dude did it all.

[Eddie]

Boop.

[Bobby Bones]

Set it up. Ready to go. It's great.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Something wrong with my car. Take a picture of it. Hey, what is this? I take it in. No, just do that. It's awesome. You can take pictures and take pictures of stuff. How do I work this? How do I fix this? The hot water heater. Fix a hot water heater the other day with chat. GPT. Yeah, it's great. I don't mix drinks, though.

[Amy]

That's how I sometimes have to help with homework.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I take a picture of the worksheet.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah. You just take a picture of the worksheet, and then it'll give you. Well, that way, so I know I'm doing right. And I also needed to give me step by step, essentially, if it's a really complicated math problem and, like, say Stevenson's working through it, like, I don't. I'm like, teach me how to explain this the where it makes sense. Because it's like, sometimes I know how to do it, but I don't know how to teach it, you know, and it'll give me play by play of exactly, like, how to break it down to where he would understand.

[Bobby Bones]

I got the food in just now. I just got a text.

[Eddie]

The brisket's in. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

If you Want to come over later? We can shoot a video on it.

[Eddie]

You want to go just straight over there?

[Bobby Bones]

I can't. I have, like, lunch. My NFL podcast to do right after this. I then have an interview with Melissa Peterman. Do you know who that is?

[Morgan]

Reba?

[Amy]

Yeah, actress.

[Morgan]

Yeah, the blonde.

[Amy]

Oh, well, then, yes, I do know.

[Eddie]

Not Reba.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

But she's on.

[Bobby Bones]

You think Melissa Peterman is Reba?

[Eddie]

You never know, man.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Talking about Timberland.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah. She's so funny.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I am boxing.

[Amy]

Happy place.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa.

[Eddie]

You're boxing? What time are we gonna do this?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just telling you, I'm not home until at least 5:30.

[Eddie]

Oh, boy. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

When I leave in the morning, I don't. Most days I don't get to go home until later.

[Eddie]

That's a. That schedule right there would stress me

[Bobby Bones]

out one at a time. We're also having to get stuff done because I'm. Listen, they tell us next week on the cruise that we're gonna be able to connect.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they say. They say we're gonna have Internet.

[Bobby Bones]

And I do believe them, but we've just been in a lot of situations where either doesn't connect. That great. Doesn't. So I just want to get. I need to get everything done here live. Nothing to chance. Commercial. So just. The days are a little longer leading up to the cruise. Okay. Is that. I'll end with this. Yeah. So if you want to come over

[Eddie]

this evening, I'll let you know, because we have golf practice, so I want to make sure that if I can get out of that, I'm there.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't have. Now it's your kid.

[Eddie]

Well, we'll see. We'll see what the situation is.

[Bobby Bones]

Studies have found that swearing makes people stronger and short for, like, short physical efforts, increasing both physical strength and endurance because it allows them to really go for it. After swearing, people push themselves harder in many types of physical challenges, from American psychologist to research journal. Something that I find interesting because we spend a lot of time in this room if we're all here, and if I have a rule, no cursing, because it could actually go over the microphone. We were in my other studio, and we were not on the air, and Amy threw out an F word.

[Amy]

I did.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because you were talking about that attorney who was like, don't effing say anything. You were just quoting him. But you saying that that felt funny.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. When he whispered in his ear.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It just felt funny because I don't hear any of you curse.

[Eddie]

No. And it's gotten to the point now where I feel weird cursing around you. Only because that's just the rule here.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't. I also don't curse.

[Eddie]

You wouldn't care. No, like, if I said that, but it just feels weird to like, even curse around any of you guys. Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox didn't think that he cares.

[Eddie]

No, he curses.

[Bobby Bones]

He curses out the door sometimes. That's right. It can track in on a microphone.

[Lunchbox]

Makes you feel good, stronger in short bursts. That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. That's gonna do it for today. Thank you guys for listening. I have a new Bobby Cast up today with Mariana Van Zeller. It's cartel, it's hackers.

What if mind control is real?

[Bobby Bones]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Amy]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Amy]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Ben Higgins]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Amy]
