[Amy]

Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the Bobby Bones show. Let's go. So let's say you're shoplifting, okay? And you're running out of there and you get out the front doors and you're like, well, I made it. Cause the people at store train not to run after people that shoplift. Except now drones get you.

[Amy]

Oh, wow. What did they.

[Eddie]

Yeah, what do they do?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they better throw a net because that's awesome. If they. They fly over and throw a net on you.

[Amy]

I was thinking, like, water.

[Eddie]

Like, Scooby Doo.

[Bobby Bones]

You can spray me with water all day. That ain't gonna stop me. But I want a net on the person with weights around it so then they can't get out. But flock safety, a company known for providing surveillance surveillance drones, is now expanding its services. Businesses such as retailers or hospitals or warehouses. They now can install flocks drone docking stations to monitor threats like shoplifting or trespassing. And so, for the most part, the drones are watching to let people know and then also to call police. But I want a big net, and then I want it dropped, and then I want that footage released. Like, when doorbell footage is put out. I want to watch that.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah, what if. Okay, if a net. That could be difficult. I know I said water at first. Not effective. What if it comes up right to your eyeballs and squirts in pepper spray?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. But what if you accidentally squirt the wrong person?

[Amy]

Oh, okay, true. What if you net the wrong person?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, then the person is like, oh, dang, I got accidentally netted.

[Eddie]

Right. Just get out of the net.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, if it's pepper spray, that one hurts for a while.

[Amy]

Okay. True, true, true.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's all. Everything's gonna be drones. But the cool thing about drones is they can save people out drowning in the ocean. They can drop off life preservers. Like, there are good reasons for drones. I think this is a fine reason for drones. I think the problem that people see with this is they think they'll actually be using the drones for surveillance, more so than just watching for shoplifters.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go to voicemail number one.

[Caller/Listener]

Bobby, I just wanted to know if you've ever tried out those sunglasses that can show you colors and then your colorblind thought, if you haven't, you might want to give them a try, Especially with baby on the way. It might be pretty cool to be able to see color. All right. Love you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

I have tried those, and what. What happens is my right eye doesn't work. No, it's not just colorblind. It has, like, 8% vision, so it sees almost nothing. And it doesn't work because my eye doesn't work. So I've tried them. It's very, very, very little. Whenever I do try them, you guys got me up here, I think, for Christmas ones, long time ago. And so unless they're a prescription, and then you got a prescription. Colorblind glasses. And then it's. Then once you put A prescription. It takes out the colorblind part. So, yeah, my vision has never been good, but I don't know the difference. Like, my right eye has never worked.

[Amy]

Yeah, you don't know any other way, so you don't know what you're missing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, Eddie was like, man, does it suck the other day, he was like, does it suck to not be able to see colors?

[Eddie]

Certain colors.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, dude, I don't know the difference. Certain colors or to have two eyes that work.

[Amy]

And what if that's giving you something else that, like, I'd love to know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, please tell me.

[Amy]

Like, it's one of your other senses. I don't know. Maybe you're heightened somewhere else.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I got this. Wait, is that what you're talking about? I think you're right.

[Amy]

Senses are, you know, touch.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me talk to Anna. Anna in Tennessee. Anna, you're on the show. Good morning, Anna.

[Caller/Listener]

Good morning, Bobby. I got a beef with the people that are freaking picking at Nicole and Keith. It's like, they got their individual lives, and nobody picks on us when we do something wrong in our lives. They're performers. Let them perform.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think there's a lot of. I'm sorry. Go ahead. I thought you were done. Go ahead, keep talking.

[Caller/Listener]

No, like, I'm going to their show, his show next Friday, and I just pray that all this stuff does not interfere with his performance because he is a true showmanship. So that's all. All I am is just want these people, leave them alone.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the problem is it's getting a lot of clicks. Right. So they're not going to, sadly, because it is generating a lot of clicks for a lot of different services. Where they're not right is they don't know our space, meaning the country music space. So I watched a clip this morning, and it was like, Keith Urban also gets flirty with the other girl in his band. It's Natalie Stovall, one of my dearest friends who's in runaway June, who's playing in his band, also playing fiddle. There's no flirty. That's just her being. They're like, the fiddle player never gets in the lead. Yeah. When you sing like that and you sing duets with him on stage, you do the Maggie Ball girl that they're saying, hey, this is the one that she played. She played like, three shows. And then also they're like, she didn't even show up to the latest shows. She's not in the band anymore. So people say a lot of things when they don't know a lot of things. They also aren't acting like they for sure know, but they just say a lot of things to see what gets traction. This is the problem with the Internet today. You just say stuff. And the things that are rewarded are often the craziest stuff because that gets the most interaction. You say something really crazy, something people are going to be like. I agree. I disagree. I like. So engagement is driven by being the absolute most salacious they could possibly be. You know what? They've been split a lot longer than what we know.

[Amy]

Well, there's oftentimes way more to the story than people realize. And it's not like. I mean, there are cases where a relationship may end up overnight, depending on what happens, but there are often times where, yeah, you have no idea what's been happening behind the scenes for one, two, three more years.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I agree. And this is a weird situation for me because I do have a bit of information, and I don't want to share people's personal information. Like, I know the parties involved. So I would love to be the guy that's like, I got all the information. I got a hot tip, but I can't, because I actually enjoy and have relationships and friendships in this mix. And it's just not what people think it is. And it's real. It's two really good PR teams. That's the nature of the business. It's two really good PR teams. I haven't seen any real PR that's absolutely going for the jugular of the other person, though. I will say that. But I did also say my idea, when I saw their finances pop up, they each make 100,000 bucks a month. I was like, well, that's not accurate. And now that story's starting to come out where it's like, that's not. Well, no crap. You think they make the same exact amount of money per month? And secondly, yes. And they both make a lot more than that.

[Amy]

Like, that's high, but for them, I feel like that's low.

[Bobby Bones]

Think about that. It's 100,000amonth. So that means each of them make $1.2 million a year. So that's way low. And secondly, you think with two people that don't have jobs that pay a salary to get the same amount of month, you think they make the same exact amount of money? No, no. And consistently, no, of course not. But that ain't our business. But, yes, I agree with you, Anna. It's. It's tough to watch and Constantly see wrong things and not just go, this is not true.

[Amy]

Do you see that video going around on TikTok? It popped up on my feed of, like, it's Keith, but I don't even know if it's a recent performance. That's the thing. Like, this could be from months and months ago, but, you know, it's like really close up on his face, and he seems very, very angry while he's singing, which could be passion.

[Bobby Bones]

He does that a lot, right?

[Amy]

He does that a lot. But my point is it is recent because they're like. And then all the comments are like, oh, he's crashing out.

[Bobby Bones]

He's not crashing out. He said, that is a recent performance crashing. But that is not a crash out.

[Amy]

You know, like the kids say, you know, but just don't believe everything you see.

[Bobby Bones]

No, don't believe anything you see. Oh, believe nothing. And anything you think you might want to believe, go and prove it. Search for it. Because nothing is the truth anymore. Because you can write anything you want On Facebook. On TikTok. You can be. You can say you're a doctor and not be a doctor. Talked about that yesterday. I think I'm a crash out, too. Over this.

[Eddie]

Over Keith and Nicole.

[Amy]

Yeah, please don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you guys can hit us up. 87777 Bobby Bones. Well, I think he jinxed us last night.

[Amy]

I already saw you blame me on socials.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't blame.

[Amy]

Yeah, you did. You said ever since Amy posted, this has gone downhill. Actually, after I posted that, they scored 14 points, they lost a game. I know, but Chiefs lost, I think, because I quit watching.

[Eddie]

Could it have been the interpretation.

[Amy]

Could have.

[Eddie]

Of her vision?

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't because it was perfect until she posted it and almost texted her to say, take that.

[Amy]

It wasn't perfect. When I posted, it was 00. It was the first play of the game.

[Eddie]

What did you say?

[Amy]

I just was like a red balloon with money because it seemed like, you know, out of the gate, they were just having momentum.

[Bobby Bones]

You jinxed it.

[Amy]

And then I thought. And then Travis Kelce scored, and then they were saying it wasn't going to be a touchdown, and then it was a touchdown. And I thought, that's what's up. And then they scored again. And then it went downhill.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So, yeah, I lost a lot of money on that one.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll get them next week.

[Eddie]

But you had a vision.

[Amy]

I. Guys, I'm not psych.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but she. Yeah, you are. But she countered that vision with the jinx.

[Amy]

I Didn't jinx it.

[Bobby Bones]

O. So you.

[Eddie]

Okay, okay. So you're saying the vision was accurate, but by posting, she read.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So I'm going to break two things to you. For one, my vision was not real.

[Bobby Bones]

For two, did you lie about what you saw?

[Amy]

No, my vision was real.

[Bobby Bones]

So your vision was real.

[Amy]

Okay, my vision was real.

[Bobby Bones]

You said your vision is not real. Now you said your vision is real. Exactly.

[Amy]

Sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I respect case. Your honor.

[Amy]

You know what I mean. I had the vision, but it means nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

It does.

[Amy]

I did it for you. Because you wanted me. You wanted someone to blame for your gambling.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't. I wanted someone to give me a good gambling tip. Well, that's what I wanted.

[Eddie]

Did you want money more or somebody to blame more?

[Bobby Bones]

I wanted money.

[Eddie]

That's what I thought.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want somebody to blame.

[Eddie]

No further question.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to blame anything on anybody. I just want to win and be happy.

[Amy]

And I wanted you to win and be happy. And I was so pumped. And then I.

[Bobby Bones]

And not only that, the Cubs lost. And I blame you for that, too.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know why. I don't know why. I just.

[Amy]

Well, I didn't post about that. I didn't jinx that.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. I think you jinxed everything.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That one you have nothing to do with it.

[Eddie]

Sounds like he just wants to blame someone.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. Now, that one. I just want to blame somebody.

[Amy]

Okay. I'll take it. Whatever. It's fine. Trust me. You're not the only one. I had listeners dming me. I lost $15.

[Eddie]

They did?

[Amy]

Yes. And I. I was like, oh, no. Shoot. I'm so sorry, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, you're blame somebody.

[Eddie]

I shouldn't tell you then. I lost 20 bucks.

[Amy]

You did. Okay. Well, guess what, guys?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you always get next week to make it up.

[Amy]

It's fun. Gambling's fun. Yeah, it's fun as long as it's not problematic. And it's not for y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Amy]

So it's fun.

[Eddie]

No, I think you're using the word wrong. We do it for fun, but it's not fun to lose.

[Amy]

Sure, but it's just. It's entertainment.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're just gonna need one.

[Amy]

So you're gonna send me into the room next week, too?

[Bobby Bones]

It's doubly good. We need a doubly good one. I'll probably send you on, like, Thursday or Friday for this Sunday.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And if you do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, and if you missed this one, probably gonna get physical.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I Have to not. I have to not only give you my vision, but then I have to just, like, not post anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because we would have won had you not posted, obviously. Yeah. So that's all. I just want to lead with that.

[Amy]

Whose fault was it really? Like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Homestore Pick six. And I think someone had told him that you posted that. I saw someone walk over and they had their phone up, and it looked like there was an Instagram story on it. And they were like, pat. He's like, oh, crap.

[Eddie]

Did you post during the game?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, because she posted it. Of the game. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Amy can't do that.

[Amy]

What do you mean I can't do that?

[Eddie]

I learned the hard way.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I won't do that. I didn't know I got a learning lesson.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a learning lesson.

[Amy]

I got excited, but then I was at my boyfriend's house, and he. He and his son, they were for the Jaguars because of their fantasy. Whatever. And so then we were all. So finally I left because I was annoyed, because they were getting frustrated, and because when I left, they were winning.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's they?

[Amy]

The Chiefs.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Amy]

And so that's when I left and I quit watching, and that's when things went downhill. So I blame myself for.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we accepted. We'll need it doubly good going into Sunday. Okay.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

AI. Romance. Is that cheating?

[Amy]

Yes. In some way? Not like physically, obviously, but it's a weird, sick, twisted.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm asking you, let's say you find out that your boyfriend has been, like, talking dirty to AI.

[Amy]

Yeah. We have a problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that cheating? I'm not saying is it a problem or weird. Is it cheating?

[Amy]

It is something.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it cheating?

[Amy]

Sure, we'll call it that. It's like a cheating with an asterisk.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go. It's not cheating, but what is it?

[Amy]

They're having a relationship with something else.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's like. Okay, let me ask you a question. If you walked in and he has a Teddy Ruxpin and he's having sex with Teddy Ruxpin. Now, hold on. Follow me here.

[Eddie]

Trying to visualize it. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Follow me. Follow me here. He's really giving it to Teddy Ruxpin right now. Is that cheating? I'm not saying it's weird.

[Amy]

I get your point. I don't know that I call it. I would call it, like, you need help.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Like, you have weird quirks. We should evaluate.

[Amy]

No, we're not. We aren't evaluating anything. We are not together anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying if you Walked in. Your boyfriend given Teddy Ruxman the business. Like, we are done. He had taken a screwdriver and he knocked a hole in the back of Teddy Ruxman, and he's just letting it happen.

[Amy]

I've got it.

[Bobby Bones]

He's going to town, and he pushed and he pushed play. And Teddy's also telling a story while the guy's just giving it to him.

[Amy]

We're done.

[Bobby Bones]

You're done?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

But what if he's like, no, I.

[Eddie]

No, but are you done? Because he's cheating.

[Bobby Bones]

But is it cheating?

[Amy]

I'm done. Because clearly there is it cheating. You're right. I get it. It's not. Fine. We don't call it cheating. It's. Yeah, you said perverse. It's disruptive to our relationship.

[Bobby Bones]

What if everything about him is perfect in every way?

[Amy]

Okay, that's nice.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, but he's supportive, he's loving toward kids. He is dependable. Everything. But he just has it. And he tells you, and everything is great, and you've been dating for three months, but you don't walk in on him and he's like, look, everything's perfect. But I love to have sex with Teddy Ruxpin.

[Amy]

Yeah, we're done.

[Bobby Bones]

Really? Even if that's like his. Why would you kink shame. Why would you kink shame everything? He's not doing anything wrong.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I'm not into that.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you kink shame?

[Amy]

Because I think that that's Something's wrong. Like, no, I, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Something's wrong with all of us.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, There's. It's on a spectrum. Sex. Teddy Bear is on the unacceptable end, is. Yes, he's.

[Bobby Bones]

He's.

[Amy]

Yes, he's perfect. I get it. He's perfect in every which way.

[Bobby Bones]

And the only thing is he bangs Teddy, you're out.

[Amy]

You're. You're telling me that that's. You file that under only?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, if it's the only thing. I'm not going to kink shame him.

[Amy]

So you would still date him?

[Bobby Bones]

It's not a person. I don't date dudes. But maybe I would if he liked Teddy.

[Amy]

Okay, I don't even know what the equivalent is, because I don't want to know what y' all would think if a woman was doing something to something.

[Bobby Bones]

That would probably, like. Probably like. Can we record that?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, we're weird. You guys are weird.

[Eddie]

That's kind of cool.

[Amy]

That's why. Well, I don't know what's comparable, because there's not. Yeah. No, there's.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd break up with him?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Huh. But there's no. Nothing else weird about him. Yeah, except he has sex with a teddy bear.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean, are you sure?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't think that's break up.

[Eddie]

I don't think so either.

[Lunchbox]

Are you guys crazy? If you walked in, you were bending a teddy bear, your wife would leave you?

[Eddie]

No, no, not walked in. But I told her like, hey, I love you. Like I love this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she's like once a month I like to give it to Teddy.

[Eddie]

Once a month.

[Amy]

You're. Trust me, both of Yalls wives are out.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Amy]

I mean if Bobby's wife is pregnant, she be gone.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but let me say this. There are guys that use like sex toys themselves. What's the difference?

[Amy]

I don't like that either.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but I'm not saying that. What's the difference if you're just using Teddy Ruxman as a sex toy?

[Amy]

No, no, that's sick.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not saying it's not weird or sick.

[Amy]

No, it's. It's. I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even deviant. It's not even alive.

[Amy]

I can't get past that. I can't get past that. We are.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a kink shamer. And I thought you're open minded and you're not. Oh.

[Amy]

Okay. Call me close minded.

[Eddie]

But I'll tell you what, it's not cheating though.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not cheating.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like the Teddy Ruck spin is not cheating. Falling in love with AI, that is emotionally cheating.

[Bobby Bones]

But I would say no, because if.

[Eddie]

You'Re taking away from your marriage or your relationship that you have for the A.I. man, they're cheating. You're cheating.

[Amy]

Also, what if Teddy is a gateway?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're not doing that. Teddy's not a gateway.

[Amy]

He's a gate. Not to other bears.

[Bobby Bones]

Bob Big burger. You got one of those, you move up to that.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's no gateway because we're faking. This is a fake scenario. So we get to define.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I don't want to stick around to see what's next. I'm sorry, I'm out. And I. And yes, Eddie's right. There is an emotional thing with this. Like what are you getting from this AI that you're not getting from me? Because I'd rather you ask me or request of me. Like, hey, I would just love if you would talk to me this way. This is how my AI talks me.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not real.

[Amy]

Yeah. So why are you needing to live in a fantasy world? What is wrong with reality?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not. But a lot of people live in fantasy worlds. And I'm like, I'm not even talking about AI. It can be people that game, people that even write. People that what?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Fan fiction writing.

[Amy]

I understand reading a book, getting lost.

[Bobby Bones]

In that in many ways.

[Amy]

We're not talking about that. We're talking about having a relationship with a computer.

[Bobby Bones]

You're typing on a computer screen to a person that's not typing back to you. It's nothing but a program.

[Amy]

Yeah, but the program is giving, fulfilling something in you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that could. You can meet that fulfillment with anything.

[Amy]

But you're having. No, now you're. Now you're talking about. If we're comparing the two, then you start dating a book. Are you dating a book?

[Bobby Bones]

You're not dating AI.

[Amy]

I thought you were in a relationship with AI. And the whole question is, if it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Cheating, okay, then I'm gonna write you in the book. Then what's the difference?

[Amy]

That is.

[Eddie]

That's cheating. You're cheating on your wife with a book.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, okay, let me. What if you walk in and I'm banging a book?

[Amy]

Yes, that's a problem.

[Eddie]

If you're not emotionally attached to the book, that's not cheating.

[Amy]

Yeah, but if.

[Eddie]

As long as your wife's cool with.

[Amy]

It, like, you're in a relationship with one of the characters in the book, then we have a problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Right, but that's not cheating. You can be mentally unwell and it not be cheating.

[Lunchbox]

Right. It doesn't have to be cheating. It's just weird. And I'm out. Like, if my wife is having weird conversations with AI. See you later.

[Bobby Bones]

You're just talking with a computer. There's not. There's not another human on the other side.

[Amy]

Right. I.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's built to give you what you need.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's not going to work for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. I get it.

[Amy]

Would it work for you?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so. But I wouldn't think it was cheating. I would just think it was, hey, there's something that's lacking that hopefully I can do a better job at giving, but it's not cheating.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I feel like it's the same. You're feeling the same feeling you would get if she was doing that with another.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance. No chance. Really?

[Eddie]

Like the betrayal feeling of like, oh, she's doing.

[Bobby Bones]

No, because she's talking with a computer. There's actually not a human and it's giving her exactly what she wants based on what she's describing she needs. It's not another human that's coming in to be like, I present this. And she's like, oh, I'm drawn to that. And I know that I am going around and doing physical things with another human being. That's not. I don't think AI is that. I think it's just a chatbot. So let's say you walk in and let's say you get. You're talking with Home Depot on the chat bot. And the Home Depot bots like, talking dirty back to you. I'll take this two by four and like, is that cheating one time or.

[Eddie]

Is she going over and over?

[Bobby Bones]

It shouldn't have to be at one time. It is or it isn't. Listen, there's not a right answer, by the way.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just.

[Eddie]

This is a fun conversation.

[Amy]

How doers get more done by using.

[Bobby Bones]

A two by four in the butt.

[Amy]

Oh, what?

[Bobby Bones]

That's. No, that's their new saying.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

New research shows that more than a quarter of adults have admitted to at least one intimate or romantic relationship with artificial intelligence.

[Amy]

How many?

[Bobby Bones]

One in four.

[Amy]

One in four?

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Amy]

All right, who is it? Who in here?

[Eddie]

It's not me.

[Amy]

Stand up.

[Bobby Bones]

Well.

[Eddie]

It would be Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

It says intimate or romantic now. I think I've had therapy type talks with my AI like, hey, I'm feeling this way. What would you recommend if you're a therapist? I think that's an intimate conversation.

[Amy]

Very different.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not. No, no, that's what this says, though. Intimate or romantic.

[Amy]

Oh, you mean intimate and that like. Yes. They're learning intimate facts about you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Because I think even it differentiates intimate or romantic.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't. There's no romantic AI talk. I have a Teddy Rexma for that.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

That's where it all came from.

[Bobby Bones]

It's all me. I'm sharing my story. Just seeing if you guys think of that. Yeah, it's easy to assume as well. These people haven't met anybody in real life yet. Or there's something that they. They feel like they can't get at all. And there's lonely. There's super loneliness attached. Well, that's good.

[Eddie]

If they're single, that's not cheating.

[Amy]

No, we had that. There was that couple. They were making the rounds on the news because the husband is. His wife was there and they were interviewing how she feels about his AI girlfriend and.

[Bobby Bones]

Which isn't a girl.

[Eddie]

It's a. Just a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even a thing.

[Amy]

Her partner.

[Eddie]

It's a computer.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a program that will tell you whatever you need based on what you say you need. So it's not even something that has a narrative. And they fall in love with the narrative. The only thing they're falling in love with is themselves and what their need is. That would be different if it were a person who has its own narrative and you're falling in love outside with that. That already exists. That has. You're telling it what to be. So it is that you're creating the thing that you're, quote, cheating with. And I don't think that's cheating if you're creating the thing you're cheating with.

[Eddie]

But how's the marriage.

[Bobby Bones]

But that. How's anybody's marriage?

[Eddie]

Well, no, no, I'm saying, like, how's the marriage with the. With the AI? Like, if. If the AI is causing problems for the marriage.

[Bobby Bones]

But what if it's cheating? But what? No, I don't think that's true. What if it causes problems that actually makes the marriage better? If you finally talk about why, that's a different conversation.

[Amy]

Yeah, but then you need to cut the. Cut it off with the AI.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, after some time cheating, right? Yeah.

[Eddie]

After you get fulfilled.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think. Listen, there is not a right answer, obviously. I just like to challenge everybody but my brain. I don't think it's cheating.

[Amy]

Okay. I just had a flashback to. It's weird, though, like, the 90s or whatever year it was where Katie Couric is on the Today show and they're talking about email and they're like, dot com, and they can't. And it's, like, crazy to watch that clip back because now it's like, oh, we just do this so casually. Like, it's not a thing. Like, is this clip in 30 years gonna get played back and be like, these people didn't even understand AI relationships. And we're all, like, thinking it's weird and it's gonna be the norm. No, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm the only guy that's like, bang a Teddy Ruxpin. Like, this guy was ahead of his time.

[Amy]

Right. I don't want that to be this, to be that. You know what I mean? Yeah, please don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I. The reason I think it is not cheating is because you're creating the thing that you are having the relationship with. You're not creating. If you are cheating, that exists and you're drawn to it. Based on what you're not getting. You are. It's like you're building a house to live in. You are building the thing that's giving you the fulfillment in whatever way, because you're AI. You're building it to your specs. It's like you get on to order a car, which I've never done, because I feel like, who wants to wait eight months for a car? You know? Like, that seems like the most ridiculous thing. Sounds like I want a Jeep, but I want to get online and build it exactly how I want it.

[Amy]

People with patience.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. Yep. I don't have the patience for that.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance. Because I may not want that car in eight months. It's like when Michael Scott's gonna adopt, and they're like, yeah, they said it'd be like, six months ago. Six months. I mean, I didn't want a kid in six months. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, that's that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's interesting. My wife told me I was giving grandpa learning how to do emoji vibes yesterday. She was like, stop posting all your Sora videos. It's like, you're like a grandpa learning how to do emojis for the first time. And I'm like, no, they're. They're funny. And she's like, but you don't like 11 of them. Like, you know? And so I was like, I'll just do a couple a day. Source. It's crazy, man. You can make whatever you want.

[Amy]

You telling us you have a relationship?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I have this one I'm working on with me and Teddy Ruxman.

[Amy]

Ew.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I wonder. Yeah, it's cool, dude.

[Eddie]

Those Stephen Hawking videos are going crazy now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, guys, those videos are going to be so real. Like I said yesterday, we're not going to know the difference in real and not. And people are already getting fooled by just a graphic on Facebook that everyone's going to be fooled by this. You could do a newscaster saying, there's a flood in Tupelo, Mississippi. 10,000 people have died, and it looks so real. Or scammers could go like, hey, we're raising money. Here's. Hi, my name's Sean, and I need some money for my Boy Scouts. We're all. We're all held captive. Okay, go fund me. Pay it. They make $10,000. You know, you're just not going to be able to believe. What I think needs to happen is we need to develop an AI that we all have on our phone when we look at something if it tells us if it's AI, like a counter.

[Eddie]

AI, it's a good idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but then they'll develop AI to counter that. Yeah, yeah, it's getting weird.

[Amy]

Bones.

I started trying to get pregnant about four years ago now.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

We were getting a little bit older.

[Amy]

And it just kind of felt like.

[Bobby Bones]

The window could be closing.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

Bloomberg and iHeart podcasts present IVF the Kindbody Story, a podcast about a company that promised to revolutionize fertility care.

[Amy]

Introducing kindbody, a new generation of women's health and fertility care.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

Backed by millions in venture capital and private equity, it grew like a tech startup. While kindbody did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patients.

[Bobby Bones]

You think you're finally like with the right people in the right hands, and then to find out again that you're just not.

[Amy]

Don't be fooled by what all the bright and shiny.

[Jonathan Goldstein]

I'm Jonathan Goldstein, and on the new season of Heavyweight, I help a centenarian mend a broken heart.

[Caller/Listener]

How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

[Jonathan Goldstein]

And I help a man atone for an armed robbery he committed at 14 years old.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I pointed the gun at him and said, this isn't a joke. And he got down. And I remember feeling kind of a surge of like, okay, this is power.

[Jonathan Goldstein]

Plus, my old friend Gregor and his brother try to solve my problems through hypnotism.

[Bobby Bones]

We could give you a whole brand new thing where you're, like, super charming all the time, being more able to look people in the eye, not always hide behind a microphone.

[Jonathan Goldstein]

Listen to heavyweight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Vanessa Grigoriadis]

Power struggles, shady money, drugs, violence, and broken promises.

[Better Picks Ad Voice]

It's a freaking war zone. These people are animals. There's no integrity, there's no loyalty. That's all gone.

[Vanessa Grigoriadis]

In the 1980s, modeling wasn't just a dream, it was a battlefield.

[Bobby Bones]

Book, book, book. Like deals. Let's get models in, let's get them out.

[Vanessa Grigoriadis]

And the models themselves, they carried scars that never fully healed till this day.

[Amy]

Honestly, if I see a measuring tape, I freak out.

[Vanessa Grigoriadis]

The Model wars podcast peels back the glossy cover and reveals a high stakes game where survival meant more than beauty. Hosted by me, Vanessa Gregoriadis, this is the untold story of an industry built on ruthless ambition. Listen to Model wars on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go. Voicemails. We got three left, right? Hit that one. That first one. Number. Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

Was there ever any conversation, like with your parents or whomever that you know, if you were a girl, what your name would have been? For instance, my sister, who just turned 51, my parents would have named her Monty, of all things. God forbid. Thank the Lord she was a girl and they named her Stacy. That is all. Love the show. Have a great day.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there was never that conversation. There just weren't many conversations. No, but for us. No, you, not if I was a.

[Amy]

Boy only they argued over what I should be as a girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because my dad wanted Candace and to call me Candy for short. And my mom said no, which, I mean, Candace, there's nothing wrong with that. But I mean, she just like the whole Candy thing. He was pretty stuck on that. So luckily I got named after my aunt Amy. I do think if I was a boy, I maybe would have been named after my uncle Lane, which is like Morgan's name, and I would have been Lane or Lainey because I have a lot of cousin like girl cousins that are that after my uncle Lane.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Candace is a fine name. I think Candy's tough.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, I mean, half of that's fine, but just make sure to call you Candace.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But when you're Candy, you've committed to a different lifestyle. For sure.

[Eddie]

But your dad wanted Candy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he wanted Candy.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably because he was inspired by somebody named Candy at some point.

[Amy]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. That's true. I shouldn't have said that. Should I have said that?

[Amy]

It's okay. He's no longer with us, so you can say what you want. He would have laughed at that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, good. Probably.

[Amy]

Or you'd have been like, yeah, it was 1987.

[Eddie]

I'll never forget Candy.

[Amy]

I guess it would have to been before 81.

[Bobby Bones]

The club has got hot lobbies. We win every Tuesday. Hit the next one.

[Caller/Listener]

Damn. Alert. I was at work today and received a phone call on my work line saying they were the county sheriff's office in the county that I worked in, saying that I failed to appear in court for jury duty and that legal action were going to be taken if I didn't go to my car and go to the sheriff's office immediately to sign paperwork. Anyways, they ended up getting my phone number. And luckily people at my work were like, let's call the sheriff's office and make sure. And thankfully they answered and gave us the info that that was in fact a scam. So game alert.

[Bobby Bones]

Scam alert. Got it. That sucks. But everybody be aware. That's one. There's so many now. All right, next.

[Caller/Listener]

What people suspect happened is that the tandem instructor didn't tighten his leg straps all the way or he was messing with his leg straps or something because he was attached to the plane. And so they think that because of his leg straps, he fell from his container. The container would still be on the tandem passenger. That's it. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

So then you connect the container to the passenger on the plane and then he fell out while it was still connected. This is yesterday's podcast.

[Eddie]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchboxes would have been connected on the ground.

[Eddie]

Yeah. In the bathroom.

[Bobby Bones]

When they walked the plane everywhere I did.

[Lunchbox]

So I just thought when we walked to the plane, I mean, you're already connected.

[Eddie]

Like, yeah, just picture the walk into the plane.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, because it wasn't that far of a walk from there would be.

[Bobby Bones]

Like three legged race, dude.

[Lunchbox]

Because like Amy said that, that we did at one point connect on the ground. And I just thought, then we walked the 10ft to the plane, got up and we went.

[Bobby Bones]

If it was only 10ft to the plane, that's a very dangerous Airport with a building 10ft from the Runway.

[Eddie]

It's like, right there.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it wasn't a far walk.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, we were out in the middle of nowhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would bet you weren't connected until you.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. Amy was actually with him when he did it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I just. I thought because we did it down on the ground, like, where we connected, and I didn't realize that was practice. And then we.

[Bobby Bones]

But got it.

[Lunchbox]

Tomato, tomato.

[Amy]

Memory schmemories.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, memories, man. Our brain lies to us all the time. And the further it gets from things, the more it's not only lying, it's wrong about the lies it's told us before.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

Well, every time you remember something, if you remember it a little bit different, that's the way you remember it. And then it just gets further and further, like you're saying filed away.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go around the room, Amy.

[Amy]

So I saw this article about George Clooney talking about snorting cocaine back in the day and that they had it at taxi on the 70s.

[Bobby Bones]

On the show. Yeah, he was on Taxi.

[Amy]

Yeah, well, he was talking about being on Taxi. Fact check that, Mike. I'm pretty sure he said Taxi.

[Eddie]

I mean. Yeah, ER was the first.

[Bobby Bones]

First, I think Roseanne. He was on Roseanne before Er.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay. Well, just.

[Eddie]

He was on Taxis.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe he was.

[Amy]

He. Maybe he was just working on the set.

[Bobby Bones]

Tony Danza, maybe?

[Amy]

No, this is a George Clooney story.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

And he's talking about how they were like, hey, you should try this.

[Bobby Bones]

Shaking her off. Mike's like, what the. Can you just find the story?

[Amy]

I have the story.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, go ahead.

[Amy]

Okay, let me see. George Clooney is opening up about his experience with drugs and alcohol. I used to make jokes about how I did too many drugs, but the truth is, it was never a big issue for me at all. And look, there was an episode of Taxi where they were all doing blow at the time.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like, no, he wasn't on the episode. He was watching it.

[Amy]

Oh, I.

[Eddie]

Watching it.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Eddie]

Were they doing that on the show?

[Bobby Bones]

Like Jeff Conway? But they were doing it like Judd Hirsch. I'm not. I'm going for memory here. So Bobby was Brit, Mary Lou Henner was one, obviously. Andy Kaufman, Danny DeVito.

[Amy]

But they. They were. This is written into the script, like they were acting it out.

[Bobby Bones]

If they were. And I don't remember the episode, but I did watch most Taxi episodes. They were probably just alluding To. But any finishing story about George Cloney being a part of Taxi.

[Amy]

So they. What he learned from this episode of Taxi, I guess, which I thought he was in at the time, it was like, no, this isn't like heroin. It's not addictive. But then later they're like, wait a second, this is pretty bad. And we're. When he started doing it and trying it, I guess whatever it was cut with was a baby laxative. So they would like snort it and then immediately have to go to the bathroom. And I'm like, that sounds like zero fun.

[Bobby Bones]

There's something called Latke's Cookies, which, in an episode following the death of Latkes grandmother, he inherits her cookie recipe. He intends on going into business with this recipe, but there's a catch. It contains a special ingredient. I don't know if that's weed or cocaine, but I don't know.

[Amy]

Wow. Okay, well, so you threw us off.

[Bobby Bones]

With George Clooney in that.

[Amy]

But do you see how if I don't know all of the people in Taxi and what George has done, how it would be like, look, there was an episode of Taxi.

[Lunchbox]

Said watching an episode.

[Amy]

He didn't say. He didn't say watching. He said, I thought you just said that there was. I said, and look, there was an episode of Taxi where they were all doing blow. Like I thought. This is behind the scenes. Not on camera. He's on set and they're doing blow. That's how I read that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, my bad. Yeah, that show.

[Amy]

It doesn't matter.

[Bobby Bones]

Like back in the day when Timothy Chalamet was on Gilligan's Island.

[Lunchbox]

Shut up.

[Amy]

Shut up. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. The main takeaway here is it was cut with baby laxative.

[Bobby Bones]

I imagine it gets cut with anything that can make it look like there's more of it. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

It is cocaine Cookies. That's that episode. Cocaine Cookies. Thought it'd be weak as weed brownies, but cocaine cookies.

[Amy]

Okay, so there you go.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Thank you for the story.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Good job. Very entertaining.

[Amy]

George said, everyone quote, I don't even.

[Bobby Bones]

Know what the purpose of the story was now because it's been so derailed.

[Lunchbox]

Very confused.

[Amy]

He said everyone would do a line and then take a.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Just more evidence that Taylor Swift told Travis when to propose, when he was allowed to propose. She was on Jimmy Fallon. And she said he had had the engagement ring for a long time before he actually proposed. And he put a lot of work into designing it. And he Just kept it and kept it and kept it until he finally proposed.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

That means she told him, this is what I want. Get it designed by this jeweler, and then I will tell you when you're ready to propose.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't hear that. I hear, first of all, that part of the story was way. When they first started dating, she showed him, like, a ring designer, not to say, I like this ring, but that he remembered that.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Which I think that's pretty typical of anybody that has awareness. Secondly, I don't hear what you're trying to say. That he told her when to propose by any of that. That you said she.

[Lunchbox]

He had it for a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's kind of normal for guys to hold a ring until it's perfect.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Why would you. Maybe I'm crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, we go yes on that. But please continue.

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand why a guy would have a ring for a long time before they propose. Wouldn't you get the ring and propose? Like, that seems like the most logical transition. Why get it and wait six months? What's the point of waiting six months when you already have the ring?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you want to wait for whatever the perfect situation is.

[Lunchbox]

I know, like, her album coming out.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not saying one, that this isn't tied to anything. I don't know. But I think there are guys even that I know, that held the ring for months before they proposed. So I don't think that that story says what you're alluding to, that she told him when it was okay to propose. I think there's probably an indication of, like.

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, he's smart, too. What if she wasn't like, hey, my album's coming out. Do it here. He might be like, oh, her album's coming out.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. But I would disagree with that.

[Amy]

Why? Why?

[Bobby Bones]

He's a.

[Amy]

You don't think he's smart?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think he's fine.

[Eddie]

He's smart.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's fine.

[Lunchbox]

Is he highly intelligent?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Oh, easy. I think Lunchbox just loves talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Like, this is all he talks about now.

[Lunchbox]

Is it all I talk about?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, every time.

[Eddie]

It's like, Lunchbox. What do you got? Another reason why Travis and Taylor are fake.

[Lunchbox]

Supposedly, they're the biggest couple in the world. So when a new story comes out. Yes. It's gonna. You're gonna read it, and I think it's relatable, and we talk about it.

[Eddie]

When are you gonna just say it is, like, real, like, it is what it is when they get married. When is that time?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. I still don't feel it.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's fair. And you have every right to feel how you want to feel. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you for respecting my feelings.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. You got it, buddy. Morgan.

[Amy]

There's a hotel in Las Vegas where.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

You can enter for a chance to go stay for the weekend. It's haunted, and if you find paranormal activity, you document it. You stay the whole weekend, you can win $5,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I saw that. Now, what do you have to do as far as documentation to prove that something's paranormal?

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

You have to take photos and videos, and I believe they send you in with ghost equipment, so you're also recording with that ghost equipment.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

Whatever that technically equipment is, I'm not sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you just stay at this hotel normally? Because this. This is a really cool PR move to get people to talk about the hotel.

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

It's on the old strip, so it's on Fremont Street. I guess it's been around for a long time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I assume you can stay there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty cool. Because people talk about it. What's the name of it?

[Narrator/Host of IVF the Kindbody Story]

Yeah, it's called El Cortez Hotel and Casino. And it's. Yeah, I mean, it's 66 bucks a night, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you actually might get killed by something.

[Amy]

66 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

The chances of you getting murdered by anything goes way up, Eddie.

[Eddie]

All right, so the headline reads, woman calls off engagement after learning fiance gambled with and lost her grandmother's wedding ring.

[Amy]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

Okay. But here. Here's the story. So I read the whole thing, and what happened was, like, three months ago that they're engaged, and the. The husband's. Or the fiance says, hey, I'm gonna go gamble with my friends. We're gonna play poker. And she finds her grandmother's wedding ring in his pocket. She's like, what is that? He's like, oh, I take it to poker games. It's for good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang.

[Eddie]

Okay. So she's like, okay, that's weird, but whatever. No big deal. He goes, comes back, still has the ring, and then three months later, he proposes to her with the ring. So this is awesome. Grandma's ring, no problem. Then one of his buddies was like, that's crazy. You almost had to propose with a Cracker Jack ring. And she's like, what does he mean by that? Well, turns out that he did lose the ring at one point, gambling, but he won it back. And now the fiance Is like, no, you lied to me. I can't believe you gambled with my grandmother's ring. You even lost it at one point. That's lying to me. So she called off the engagement. I think he's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no, I don't. I feel about like that like Amy does about Teddy Ruxman.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

If he was willing to gamble something so important to her, win or lose, that says a lot about his character or his undiagnosed addiction.

[Eddie]

Okay, I see that it's a red flag. I see that red flag for sure. But everything's a. Okay, the ring is back. You. Now is the time to have the lesson of don't do that anymore. If we're going to get married, this is gonna stop.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, did he learn his lesson? Because that's pretty scary.

[Bobby Bones]

I would also think he's done this with many other things.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

That aren't the ring. Yeah. This isn't a one off. And it's not the first time. Knowing people who have this problem, whenever they get caught doing something and they're like, no, no, I'm good now. They got caught and it's usually like the 93rd time. And there are other things that aren't known. Some things that they were able to fix without people knowing. That's a bad one. I, I, man, I feel like we're.

[Eddie]

All, we, we got past the bad part. We can all learn. We can all grow from this.

[Amy]

Bobby's like, I love how with this one, you're like, that's bad. It's a no go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But the difference is, is that this is an indication about his life pre and post. And this is other to say he's hiding. No. Sure. Yeah. You think his addiction is. His habit's going to stop. Just, sure.

[Eddie]

People can fix themselves.

[Bobby Bones]

No, buddy. And he's been lying for a long time. And I'm sure he's done this many other times with many other things. You, you don't just gamble. Somebody drink once when it back and you're like, no, I'm good now. That was just a one off. I don't know that I totally kill the relationship, but it is. It's on life support. Big life support.

[Eddie]

She called it off. It's over.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, big. That's a big lie. Cuz. If you catch me having Secretary Rex, I'm like, yep, I'm doing it.

[Amy]

Plushophilia.

[Eddie]

Excuse me?

[Amy]

Plushophilia.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that why Taylor Swift songs. Is that Mike? Is that like track two, Plushophilia.

[Amy]

It Would make you AKA a plushie. It's when you have a relationship with a stuffed toy.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have a relationship.

[Eddie]

Well, that's that.

[Bobby Bones]

What is it? If it's prostitution with a stuffed toy. No, it's not a relationship.

[Amy]

Sexual or romantic attraction to a stuffed.

[Bobby Bones]

Toy as I'm holding my flesh ophilia.

[Amy]

Wait, did you get a new labo?

[Bobby Bones]

This is my Halloween labubu. Now you guys know what to do with them.

[Eddie]

Oh, God. Is there a hole?

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't admit that.

[Eddie]

Wait, so there's an actual thing to this?

[Amy]

Like, it's called fluffilia.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Amy]

Well, I'm just saying, like, the plushophilia should be a red flag.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I. I agree. It can be a flag, but it's not cheating. It can be a pinkish flag, but.

[Amy]

It'S a sign of what's to come.

[Bobby Bones]

But if everything else. No, because that might just max out at that. This gambling. I've seen too many people with gambling addictions.

[Eddie]

Yeah, gambling's tough.

[Bobby Bones]

That it. It ends up going. If it's not a ring, it's a house, it's paychecks, it's. Other people suffer because they've g. You've gambled their money away. If I'm just hooking up with a doll, nobody gets hurt.

[Eddie]

That's what Amy's saying, though. Like it's a stepping stone.

[Bobby Bones]

Like it's not. We said we made up the scenario.

[Eddie]

You can go to something else.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have a one on one with that plush doll. I've per. I've never seen somebody do that with a doll, but I've seen people, like, lose everything gambling and lie about it. Yeah.

[Amy]

So many adults develop strong emotional attachments to objects, especially those associated with childhood memories. Soft toys often serve as a link to simpler, happier times, helping to counter feelings of loss or separation.

[Bobby Bones]

A Michigan man said he was disappointed to see someone else had won the lottery. It was a $5,600 prize. And then he was like, dang, I've been playing for so long. And turns out I looked at his ticket. He won. He was the one that won half a million dollars. UPI. There's.

[Lunchbox]

You said 5,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry, 500,000. There's a guy I know that works for Barstool. His name's Big Cat, and they do these 50. 50 lotteries. I tell you this on the air. And so they do these things at, like, Cubs games. He's been doing it for a decade. And you go and you buy a lottery Ticket. And they're called 50 50s because 50% goes to charity and 50% goes back into everybody. And he's playing. He won $50,000 the other day. He's been doing it for 10 years.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

He hit. He's got a whole montage of him losing over the years, and then he hit for $50,000.

[Amy]

Do you still do those breaks?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't do them anymore, no.

[Amy]

I don't know what made me think of that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what did make you think of that?

[Amy]

I don't know. It just popped into my head just now.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but why?

[Amy]

Because you're talking about sports, barstool betting. Long time winning stuff. Long time winning, losing. I don't know. And then in my mind, I was like, oh, yeah, did Bobby. Does Bobby still do those?

[Bobby Bones]

Do I do them physically, things online.

[Amy]

Or do you don't buy anything from there anymore either?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't buy anything, no. Still involved in a way, but I don't buy anything. Yeah. Adults over the age of 40 are sharing things, are too tired to deal with. Going above and beyond with no recognition. Going camping, going to a place that doesn't have a parking lot, going out to eat. They're not having a parking lot. If there's a restaurant and there's, like, just street parking, I'm gonna go somewhere else.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I ain't trying to find street parking. We went somewhere this past weekend. Have you been to Farm Farmstead? We went over there. Nate. It was all street parking.

[Amy]

Yeah, I went to street parking this weekend too. It was fine. I would go back for the street.

[Bobby Bones]

Parking or for what you did for the food.

[Amy]

Oh, like, it is what it is. There's no other place to park.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That sucks. We went and luckily we found, like, a field, and I just parked in the field and then we walked down there.

[Amy]

Oh, so you're too. You're over that?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm over that. I'm over going camping, too.

[Amy]

When's the last time you went camping?

[Bobby Bones]

I've been over for a long time. I want to go camping.

[Eddie]

Camping's fun.

[Bobby Bones]

What? What's fun about it? I'm an adult, being in the outdoors. Like, I love. Hey, take a walk.

[Eddie]

Like, waking up and, like, the birds are chirping and, like, it's kind of cool starting a fire.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You know, if I want to get a hotel room in, like, Montana and then walk outside.

[Eddie]

You can do that.

[Bobby Bones]

I can do. Yeah. Yeah. I'm over it, though. I'm not saying it's bad for you, but for me, a lot of camping growing up. I'm good. Let's see. Pubic hair wigs are the newest craze. Huh?

[Lunchbox]

You wear a wig made out of.

[Bobby Bones]

Women are reportedly paying up to 245 bucks for tiny wigs that they glued to their pubic area for a more natural look.

[Amy]

Stop. You're joking.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's a story here from Oddity Central. The popularity of pubic hair wigs has skyrocketed in recent months. Both young men and women are flocking to specialty online stores and marketplaces. Can't you just grow. Just grow it? I guess you have with hair, too, huh?

[Amy]

But I think I don't know what's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's a weird one. You want to do the four things not to say to a dyslexic person. Do you have that one?

[Amy]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy had this thing that she had sent me that was like, these are four things you don't say to a dyslexic person, which would be like, you're too smart to be dyslexic. That was one of them, right?

[Amy]

Yeah. So Eddie and I have been diagnosed as dyslexic. So just make sure you don't say these things to us, okay? One, you just need to try harder. If you try harder, this won't be.

[Eddie]

Such a big deal about dyslexia or just anything in life.

[Amy]

It's just not how dyslexia works. This is specifically for dyslexics.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Amy]

Okay. Oftentimes, we're trying much harder than you realize. Two, it's all in your head. If you could just get past that and get over yourself reading these.

[Bobby Bones]

Who says this stuff? This feels like something in the 80s they should have put out, not now.

[Amy]

This is the one you were mentioning. Bobbi, you're too smart to be dyslexic. Dyslexic individuals can be incredibly smart and still be dyslexic and struggle with their reading fluency and comprehension. And then the fourth one is, you're going to grow out of this when you get older. That's not true. With proper intervention, you can make it so reading isn't as challenging, but if you're dyslexic, you're going to always be dyslexic.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you go. There's four things that I will stop saying to you guys.

[Eddie]

Thank you. And stop. Stop putting a spotlight on how bad I can read, too. Like, that hurts my feelings.

[Bobby Bones]

Who are you talking to you.

[Eddie]

You did it, like, on Friday or something when we were reading our script, and you're just like, gosh, he can't read.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's not what happened. This is totally revisionist history. You, as soon as you finished, you were like, I'm awesome at this acting.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, well, you didn't even read the script. Right. Had nothing to do with you and your dyslexia.

[Eddie]

You said you looked at Amy. You're like, gosh, you can't even read.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't say it like that. I said it out loud to you, too. It wasn't about you.

[Eddie]

Just, like, my feelings because I already struggle hard like, no, stop.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not doing the thing.

[Eddie]

What thing? That I struggle with dyslexia Hard on me, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Not doing it. You know that's not what it was. And you can read just fine. You read all the time.

[Eddie]

I do not. For fun, when I have to read.

[Amy]

You figured it out. But I would. I do think that, like, your brain is more exhausting after reading a page of something than Bobby's.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know my brain.

[Eddie]

I'm exhausted after reading.

[Amy]

Bobby, you're not dyslexic.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You don't know the struggle, dude.

[Amy]

And it's sub. It's happening on a subconscious level. It's not like Eddie's like, oh, reading this page is so hard, but his brain is working and harder than.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know how my brains work. That's unfair for you to interpret.

[Amy]

No, I'm pretty sure. Bobby, this is a compliment on your brain. I'm pretty sure you can read a page and have full comprehension. Eddie might have to work three times.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm. Maybe I'm dyslexic. I just don't want to share it because I.

[Amy]

No, we had.

[Bobby Bones]

We all got tested, but what if I cheated? I used to cheat in the vision test on my driver's license all the time.

[Eddie]

How would you cheat?

[Amy]

How do you cheat on the dyslexia test?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, first, the driver's test. I use my good eye in both holes because they don't really watch you when you take the test. They kind of do, but not really. They're like, looking here. Which way is it turning? Looking. What do you see? And so my left eye is my good one, but if they did it on the right eye first, I just move my head over. I don't think I can see good enough to drive, guys.

[Eddie]

Oh, don't say that out loud.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have Your license.

[Amy]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Girl.

[Amy]

Not yet.

[Eddie]

You're still driving illegally.

[Amy]

I mean, I have a license. It's just expired.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not having a license. Well, no, you have the piece of plastic.

[Amy]

There's a difference.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, you have the piece of plastic. You don't actually have, but there's a difference.

[Amy]

And I've had one. Yeah. Since I was 16 and, like, I never got one legally. That's definitely different.

[Bobby Bones]

No one's arguing that point. The point is you don't have a. Like, a license right now.

[Eddie]

You're driving illegally.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You may have a piece of plastic that. That used to serve as.

[Amy]

Yeah. The date is just expired.

[Eddie]

That means it's no longer valid.

[Amy]

My passport's up to date.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we're done.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]
