Morgan
Hey so I saw Cheryl Crow comment on our Instagram yesterday and lunchbox was not a Cheryl Crow's house.
Amy
Oh really? Yeah, she's like that wasn't my House.
Morgan
It was her parents house or something?
Mike
Yeah, it was her parents.
Morgan
We start the time.
Amy
That makes sense.
Morgan
So it popped up in my feed lunchbox. Said he went to a, an estate sale at Cheryl Crow's house. And I was like, dang, that's crazy that she would just have people at her house. Morgan, will you read her message?
Amy
Yeah.
Mike
She said, ah, radio lunchbox, I love you and Mr. Bobby Bones from radio. Amy, the house is my mom and dad's and when my mom became very ill, they moved back to our hometown. And yes, I have collected what I lovingly call interest interesting crap for years and decided to unload. And we are actually selling the house lunchbox. You should buy it.
Morgan
Yeah. So it did feel weird that he was at Cheryl Crow's house.
Amy
Yeah, she was just like out running errands or something for the day while people shopped her home.
Morgan
I bought a brick and that. What? He bought like two bricks or something.
Bobby Bones
So there's that. I want to play.
Morgan
Ray, play. Voicemail number one, please.
Christy
Hi, this is Christy from Austin, Texas. My coworker has a question, but he's too shy to ask you guys even leave a voicemail. So I'm going to do it for you. Randall. Randall wants to know if Eddie has had a chance to look at a hot dog or eat a hot dog since the hot dog eating contest he did a few months back. So he just wants an update on that, but again he's too scared to call, so I'm doing it for him. Thanks.
Eddie
Yeah, Randall, a funny question because I was it like a week ago, two weeks ago, I had my first hot dog since the competition, which I guess. How long ago was that?
Morgan
You were outside when you vomited, so it must have been pre winter.
Eddie
Yeah, it was warm.
Bobby Bones
Had to be Follish.
Eddie
I was wearing shorts.
Morgan
Yeah. Eddie tried to eat what, 70 hot dogs.
Eddie
70 hot dogs. And I made it to 21 and threw it all up.
Guest
It was in July.
Mike
Yeah.
Amy
Oh wow. It was in July.
Morgan
Yeah. What I remember is watching Eddie's livestream and he was outside, so that's how I remember it was warm. When was I. When he vomited, man.
Eddie
And I thought I was, I thought I was, I was doing fine. I thought I was gonna do it and then, man, I took 21 down and it just like it forcefully just all came out.
Morgan
Did you have a few months where you couldn't look at a hot dog?
Eddie
Couldn't smell it?
Morgan
Yeah. How was it when you had it?
Eddie
Normal. It's almost like my body had Gotten rid of that trauma, thankfully.
Morgan
But therapy. You went to hot dog therapy? Just.
Eddie
Just time. Because my kids have hot dogs all the time. And I would be like, oh, I don't want to do that. Look. Then finally, the other day, it was like, I think last week my wife was like, I'm just doing hot dogs for dinner. Like, we don't have food. And I was like, you know what? I'm starving. Just give me one of those. And I ended up eating two.
Amy
Nice.
Morgan
I love hot dogs.
Amy
You're back.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
There's a place we go down to, Urban Market, which is near ish. Our house. They make great hot dogs. I don't know what it is about them. Maybe it's because most places, like, real restaurants, don't have, like, an adult hot dog where it's on the adult menu. And I go, no, aioli. I'm not a big aioli guy. I don't like mayonnaise. And isn't aioli kind of a mayonnaise?
Amy
Yes.
Mike
So.
Morgan
And who puts aioli on a hot dog?
Amy
Yeah, well, Urban Market.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
And urban, as in it's spelled H E R B A N, like, herbs.
Mike
Oh, I love this place on my list. They're good. Oh, yeah, I haven't tried it yet.
Amy
It's so good. That's where the people that took my credit card went. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Yes.
Morgan
And they ate on Amy's dime for, like, six months. It's not fancy.
Mike
Yeah, it's like a kind of a cafe vibe.
Amy
Stand in line.
Morgan
And it's got a grocery store in it, too.
Mike
Yeah.
Morgan
Stand in line to order, but they
Bobby Bones
had a hot dog.
Amy
It's like farm to table.
Morgan
And so if we ever order. And sometimes I'll drive down because you can't really get that delivered. Do you ever get delivered?
Amy
No, I always. I pick it. I mean, I pick it up to
Eddie
go, but it's not on UberEats.
Amy
It's. No.
Morgan
Nope. So, yeah, Good hot dog. Okay, let's go around the room.
Eddie
Amy.
Amy
So if you were planning on going to the wireless festival in Ukraine, what's that? Well, Kanye. What? Ye.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Ye. Kanye. Is it? Yay.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Yay. Yay. Was headlining, and the UK has denied him access to enter the country because of his remarks, like, his behavior.
Morgan
The two shows he did In California, like, 80,000 people there.
Eddie
Wow.
Morgan
Last week.
Amy
Oh, my.
Eddie
And this is, like, his return. Right. How long has he been not playing?
Amy
I don't know.
Morgan
He continued to play a little bit in, like, other countries. Right, Mike? Occasionally he'd pop up doing a festival or something.
Amy
Those countries must have been fine with him entering. But the UK says for the last several years, west has caused outrage for a string of anti Semitic, racist, and pro Nazi comments, and we are denying his access into the United Kingdom. As a result, Wireless festival is canceled and refunds will be issued to all ticket holders.
Morgan
So my thoughts on this is, yes, all the things that he said were terrible, and I do not agree with him in any way, but I wonder where it comes in. Because he did come out and say, I'm sorry and I had mental illness and. Right, Mike. He came. Yeah, like, maybe brain damage from his car wreck. Like, he said all of these things to go, dang, I wish I wouldn't have said that. I don't believe that. Like, where does forgiveness come in? Because he said literally the worst thing you could say Nazis. The worst. They were literally killing Jewish people because they were Jewish. The worst. But then he says, I had a mental illness and I'm not taking medicine for it. I believe there's some nuance here, and I'm not saying Kanye is forgiven. I'm not saying we should. I just wonder how people feel about this. What do you think? You're Kanye. I mean, I love Kanye's music, by the way. It's awesome.
Guest
He was putting out merch and stuff.
Morgan
Like, there has to be around him.
Guest
Like, you can't do that. I've stopped listening to him. I can't. I can't go back and listen to it. I'm done.
Morgan
What if he continues to say, I screwed up? It's from the car accident that I was in where I had brain damage and I. I was off my meds.
Guest
I think you went so hard on it for so long that it was too much for me. I can't look at his music the same way. And I'm just. I'm good.
Morgan
I feel like I wouldn't have gone to that show. I feel like it's going to take consistent years of him being like, I was wrong. I shouldn't have done that. And him doing things to actually build towards the communities that he was so nasty to for me to even consider, hey, that's a guy that I'll support because I can't support him now. But I do think there is a path to redemption for everybody. But when you do really bad things, it takes a really long time to get that redemption back.
Amy
They just said, overall, the decision was made because his presence would not be conducive to the public good.
Morgan
He Has a bunch of countries he's doing his tour in. He's going all over the world doing it, but, yeah, they did. 80,000 people, I think. Two nights in LA, played all the hits. Like, Lauryn Hill showed up. I was just surprised she showed up.
Guest
Yeah, I know.
Morgan
She played with.
Eddie
She did.
Morgan
I was just surprised she showed up four hours late. Yeah, I didn't show up at all. Wasn't he late?
Eddie
Like, I remember, like, at Austin City Limits Festival or something. He was the headliner and he didn't. He showed up, like, two hours late. Oh, I don't know.
Morgan
I'm sure this is, like, I don't
Eddie
know, a few years ago, so.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, oh. Which yay.
Morgan
Said you just call him Kanye. Literally.
Amy
Okay, sorry. Well, I was trying to be okay.
Morgan
You think weird, like.
Amy
No. So Kanye. Kanye understands that words aren't enough, and he'll have to show change through his actions. If people are open, like, he's here for it. So for some countries that are holding their boundary or some fans that are holding their boundary, it may take time. And maybe through his actions, there can be more of a. Like, like you were saying, a redemption story here. But I think it's gonna take time.
Morgan
It's gonna take a lot. And I don't even know. And who cares about me, right? I don't even know if I would give it, but I'm open to anybody trying to work away from the terrible things they did. But the more terrible, the more work. And there's a lot of work because that's some terrible stuff. Like, the worst. You're right, Mike. He's putting out merch with watch on it.
Guest
I think if you wanted to, like, double down so much on it, it would have been different, like, if we just made one comment, like, okay, I understand, but he went so hard for so long. It's. It's too much.
Morgan
I guess there's just nobody in his circle that could. That could stop him either. No.
Eddie
Is there anyone in music that you've just completely boycotted and Mike said he's can't listen to Kanye now.
Morgan
Boycotted. Like, I, I, I mean, I love. I believe I can fly from R. Kelly.
Eddie
Right. And if it comes on, you're still listening to it, right?
Morgan
It doesn't come on.
Amy
Nobody plays it.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
When nobody.
Morgan
Where would that come on? I wouldn't chase it down anyway. Even, even if he hadn't done that, I don't know that I'm going to track down I Believe I can fly.
Amy
I guess the way I Would put it. Sometimes if it pops in my head, I'll sing.
Eddie
Okay, that's, like, coming back on.
Amy
But then I'm like, oh, dang, R. Kelly. Such a shame. Diddy.
Eddie
See, that popped on my playlist the other day, and I was just like, all right. I didn't even think about it.
Amy
No. It's such a bummer. It's a shame. Can't. I don't want to listen to it.
Eddie
Michael Jackson comes on all the time.
Morgan
Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson didn't do anything.
Amy
I think he's innocent.
Morgan
Michael Jackson. I don't. I. I don't believe Michael Jackson ever touched a kid inappropriately.
Eddie
Yeah, but people still say it.
Morgan
Okay, but I don't believe he did.
Amy
But did he? We know he did.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
He touched a kid.
Amy
No, no, no. But we know he was abusive to women and men. Yeah.
Mike
Chris Brown is another one for me. I can't listen to Chris Brown.
Morgan
I don't. Anyway. Yeah, like, I never have to wrestle with that because I don't listen to Chris Brown.
Eddie
It's like one of his big songs.
Morgan
Run it. Run it. It's before you. It was before you when he was
Bobby Bones
a pop artist, and then you're not
Morgan
young enough to like him as a normal. As an artist now.
Eddie
Okay. I guess. And you were in pop radio.
Morgan
Yes.
Eddie
Yeah, that helps.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, the story that. When that broke, that was huge for, like, Rihanna and Chris were everything, and
Morgan
I don't know about everything.
Amy
Well, we were playing them a lot and talking about them a lot, and it was shocking that he did that to her.
Morgan
Yeah, that's true. But I mean, I don't say it was everything.
Amy
No. No. I mean, there were.
Morgan
I think he was, like, a top five pop artist. Rihanna was. I don't know. Wasn't ever that level.
Eddie
Okay. That was big.
Morgan
But, hey, dirt bag.
Amy
I don't know that they had a nickname.
Morgan
Yeah, Dirt Bag. That's bad news, that picture. Still bad news. Okay. Thank you for your story. Congress demands release of 46 secret government UFO videos. Member of Congress is demanding the Department of defense head over 46 classified military videos that insiders say capture unidentified aerial and underwater phenomena. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who chairs the House Task force on the declassification of federal secrets, sent a letter to Pete Hegseth setting April 4 deadline. Sources who have viewed the videos say they include clear full color footage. They're for sure hiding stuff from us. They're for sure. Like, I'm not even, like, probably for sure for sure. For sure. It's crazy and it's a slow roll. And when will disclosure ever happen? I don't know. I was talking about it yesterday. I want to show you a picture with a guy named Drew McIntyre on the Bobby cast. But I want to show you a picture of Drew before I tell you who he is.
Amy
Okay. He looks big.
Morgan
He's.
Amy
He's looking very big because, you know, you're six one.
Morgan
How big do you think he is?
Amy
He is six seven. Six six.
Morgan
And he's wearing shoes. But yes, probably six. Six, six, seven of those shoes. 275 he was just a WWE champion wrestler.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Morgan
He lost it. But he's been world champion. He's been Intercontinental champion. But he's from Scotland. And when he was a kid, he, like, sent off freedom of information to the FBI to get a bunch of stuff. And he's way into. I hate to say aliens because it just invokes the thought of little green men, but he's into that. And we talked about that a bit yesterday. Crazy. Those Scottish people, man, they eat some crazy food. They probably say the same thing about us.
Eddie
What do they eat?
Morgan
They had something called black pudding. This comes out in next week's episode.
Bobby Bones
It's pig's blood.
Eddie
Oh.
Amy
What do they put it on?
Morgan
I don't know. I eat pudding. By itself?
Eddie
Yeah, pudding. Like in a cup, Right, Mike?
Morgan
Yeah.
Guest
It kind of looks like. Like dried sausage, but it's red.
Morgan
Really red because it's.
Eddie
Because it's just blood. Do they put sugar?
Morgan
Black pudding? Yeah, it's red. I didn't know that. I don't know, dude. I don't like.
Eddie
They must put some kind of sweetener in that.
Morgan
I'm sure there's some added elements. You don't drink the blood.
Guest
It's, like, so dark that it's, like, kind of blackish red.
Morgan
Whoa. They eat, in Scotland pig intestines.
Eddie
Okay. We eat cow intestines.
Bobby Bones
Oh, for sure.
Morgan
But it's just weird to hear no Mexicans.
Eddie
We eat everything.
Morgan
White people. We eat a lot of hot dogs. And, you know, I know what that is. That's a bunch of buttholes and intestines. I just got a better name. Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
But, yeah, there's for sure something going on. So they want these videos to come out. If it does come out, that there are things bigger, stronger, faster than us, do you think the world freaks out?
Amy
I think we've been. We're slowly getting used to the idea that it exists. And maybe that's the point. Maybe that's what they're doing is we. Because if they had just hit us with this stuff, I don't know that we would have been able to handle it. But if you're paying attention, then I feel like there's been enough the last couple years where you're sort of like, oh, okay. I'm not shocked by this.
Morgan
One of the reasons that these government officials say that we don't share stuff is because we don't want other countries to know what we have because they may have more than us or less than us. Meaning if we have found, we'll just say craft. It could be aircraft, watercraft, whatever it is. And we have their technology that we're trying to reverse engineer. And then China or Russia or any of our adversaries find out that we have less than they do, and we know less than they do, they may feel like, well, we're stronger than they are. We can now overtake them.
Bobby Bones
So if we don't share what we
Morgan
have, everyone is still going, I wonder what they have. If we go at them, will they have more than us? That's one of the reasons that we don't share the technology that we found.
Amy
That makes sense.
Eddie
You know those doomsday fish? You've heard of those? Yeah, the ones that keep coming up on shore and like, they're like. For years, they were never. It was a species that was so deep sea, they would never even come close to the shore. Now you start thinking like, well, why are they coming up? Is there something deep, deep, deep, where they're just like, get away from that.
Morgan
I looked into that a little bit, and they don't really have a good answer. But the. The plates, like the tectonic plates.
Eddie
Yes, yes.
Morgan
Have been shifting a little more in the last decade or so, which, if that is deep under the ocean, it literally can just affect the fish, the animals that are below. And so that could be a reason or it could be. There was talk of. I was listening to Congressman, I think Tim Burchett is his name, talk about how a government official, a military official, was telling him that there was something as large as a football field as long as it going 100 miles an hour underwater.
Amy
Oh, what?
Morgan
And that we don't have submarines that do any. First of all, not near that big. And second of all, max speed 40 miles an hour underwater.
Amy
So is it some sort of underwater aircraft that is made by the aliens?
Morgan
See, it's weird to say aliens because everybody giggles.
Amy
Whatever.
Morgan
I know, because it makes it the
Amy
unidentified yes beings things.
Eddie
Could it be another country Could Mike,
Morgan
what do you see?
Guest
It says that he believes that non human intelligence may have bases on Earth, like, underneath.
Eddie
But he's bases.
Morgan
He's in the committee. I'm drinking this Starbucks. My Dragon Fruit. It's so good. I know we talked about on the show, like, for those who think it was just an ad, like, I'm 70% down here and I'm trying to drink enough water too, but.
Eddie
But back to the ocean thing, which. Yes, I think that, like, the ocean would be a great place to get on Earth. And no one can see you.
Morgan
Yeah. Because we haven't explored the ocean. We don't know anything about the ocean, but.
Eddie
And I know that the cruise, we were only like, in the. Like close, you know, like barely in the Gulf, barely in the Atlantic Ocean. But out there there was so much traffic of.
Morgan
You're talking about surface.
Amy
No, no, no, we're going down.
Morgan
We're talking about down.
Eddie
I understand, but they've got to start somewhere. Like, I think they. Right. The theory is they come from space and then go down.
Amy
No, the theory is they come from.
Morgan
They come up.
Eddie
So they were there to begin with.
Morgan
They could have been or there could be. We don't know what's at the bottom of the ocean in the deep parts. It's unexplored. Completely unexplored.
Eddie
Right. I thought it was more of like, oh, they came and they were like, the ocean is so unhabited, uninhabited. That's it. It's so, like, unknown that no human would even see us going through the ocean.
Morgan
But there have been videos of things going into the water as well.
Amy
Right, but are they going into the water? Are they returning to the water?
Eddie
Right.
Morgan
Are they coming from the middle? Middle Earth?
Eddie
I always assumed that they're coming from outer space.
Morgan
That's an assumption.
Eddie
I assumed they're coming from outer space. And that's how they get to. Because if they come to on land, like, we're pretty much everywhere on land. Cameras, people. Everywhere on the.
Bobby Bones
We have cameras.
Morgan
We're seeing them fly around already.
Mike
And we don't know what they look like either. Like, you're assuming we know that they don't look like us or that they're a version of us too.
Amy
But to Eddie's point of if they were to come from above space. Space, then the reason why this congressman is saying unidentified human or whatever object or whatever it is, if the. If they are coming from deep down within Earth's core. They're from Earth.
Morgan
Yes.
Amy
So they're. They're not they're not. They're not aliens.
Morgan
That's why they don't say aliens.
Amy
Right.
Morgan
That's why.
Amy
That's why. I know. I was just putting that together of
Eddie
like, why so non human could. Like Aquaman.
Morgan
Well, you're doing fairy tales now.
Eddie
No, no, but that's a whole civilization underwater.
Morgan
Okay, sure, right.
Guest
Atlantis.
Eddie
Atlantis, sure.
Morgan
Atlantis was never real, but yeah. I don't understand the point you're trying to make.
Eddie
The point I'm trying to make is when we were on the cruise, there were a lot of vessels out there and I'm assuming transatlantic traffic. Boats. There are boats everywhere, and I feel like they would see anything.
Morgan
There are videos of things going into the water that are unexplainable, too. So if you're saying things are coming from space and we don't see them,
Eddie
I never hear, like, sailors saw this or sailors recorded all the time.
Bobby Bones
Recorded.
Eddie
I hear pilots saw this.
Morgan
Yes. So I still understand your point. Meaning things can't go in the water because we haven't seen them.
Amy
He's saying because when we were out on our cruise, he didn't see anything.
Morgan
So that's what I feel like.
Amy
So he's like, how is this possible?
Morgan
We can't even stop pirates in other parts of the ocean because the ocean is so big and vast and we're not everywhere. So it's for us to be able to think we'd see everything. And also that our eyes could even see if something was coming from above under. We don't see all around us right now all of the different cell phone.
Eddie
Yeah. Microwaves.
Morgan
Any of that.
Eddie
Cellular.
Mike
Different planes.
Eddie
Yeah. Which is crazy. Like, if we had a device to show all the waves that are in the air right now, we'd probably freak out.
Morgan
We freak out. Okay, let's go. Eddie, your story.
Eddie
Yeah, mine's really cool. So you know the game Rocket League?
Morgan
Yeah. Where you play soccer and you hit the ball into the net with the cars? Yeah.
Eddie
So, Amy, it's like soccer, but with the cars. Like, you control the cars and the car hits when you try to get in goal. In Vegas, they have real life Rocket League. It's in the desert. They have a course and everything, and anyone can do it. So next time we go to Vegas, which is probably iHeart Festival, we should go play Rocket League in cars.
Morgan
You act like we have the time to do that.
Eddie
You're right. It'd probably take a little bit, but how cool is that?
Amy
I have no desire.
Morgan
I don't have desire either, really, to,
Eddie
like, Try to hit a wall with your go.
Morgan
Car sick playing car soccer. I think that would be fun for some people.
Eddie
You're bursting my bubble. Get car sick. Do you get car sick when you drive or just passenger?
Morgan
If I'm driving a lot of curves, yeah. Like whenever we were driving the Hyundai's on the racetrack. I was driving. I got car sick when we were.
Eddie
What do you call that? When we were drifting?
Morgan
Yeah, well, I don't know that I was drifting. You people drifted without me. I was racing. I was trying to beat speed time.
Eddie
Oh, that's right. That's right. I drifted with a professional drifter.
Morgan
They wouldn't let me drift. I flip it. But I was getting carsick driving it because of how hard the turns were. I feel like Rocket League would be that.
Eddie
It's just funny. Like I remember watching playing Rocket League and being like, this is so dumb. Like, this is never realistic. But the fact that people are using real cars and playing Rocket League, it looks so cool. And there's videos of it.
Morgan
It looks awesome, Morgan.
Mike
All right, so there was a woman visiting Florida and she saw somebody struggling to swim in the ocean. And she ran in to go help him and she's instructing him to get on his back, let the waves carry him in and stuff. And she found out a couple hours later this man was a wanted murderer alleged for killing his wife and her lover.
Amy
And she saved him.
Mike
She tried. Yes, she was attempting. But he, he responded to her when she kept trying to save him and said that he was going on a long vacation. So it's assumed he was trying to take his life after committing the murder. He's still on the run. He's still not found.
Amy
Oh my.
Mike
Yeah, but she didn't find out he was a murderer until a couple hours later. So she was just trying to help a person.
Eddie
Weird.
Morgan
And that person didn't want to be helped. But now the person's running or he
Mike
already took his life. They don't know.
Morgan
Got to go.
Amy
So.
Mike
But yeah, so he, he had found his. His wife of 13 years with her lover and he killed them both.
Amy
What a weird story of like now before you help somebody, you have to be like, hey, before I save your life, you good?
Mike
Are you.
Morgan
Are you cool?
Amy
Are you evil? Did you just murder anybody?
Morgan
There's a former US Air Force Master Sergeant Alan Hayward James has pleaded guilty to a nine year, $37 million fraud scheme in which he manipulated it contracts to inflate costs and siphon money to himself.
Amy
37 million.
Morgan
He defrauded the military at $37 million.
Eddie
I mean, that's so gutsy. Like you're going to steal from. It's just people that do these kind of schemes. It's gutsy anyway. But like you're going to get caught, right? Eventually. But the fact that you go after like the government, that's crazy.
Morgan
I would argue that they do them because other people have instructed them how to do it and they never caught. I think most people don't get caught doing this. I think only most people.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
I would think most of these fraudulent schemes that happen, people get away with.
Eddie
But. But can they just stop though? Like, I think a lot of them just like, oh, we got away with that, let's do another one. Then that's when they get caught. When they do their fifth one.
Morgan
This guy was doing it for nine years.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
He probably never thought he'd get caught. There's probably some mess up. But I would think most of these that are happening by intelligent people know that they can do it for a long time and they don't get caught. And that's why it's such news when it does happen.
Amy
I mean, how do you hide that amount of money though? Like you're a master, so you're enlisted in the Air Force, so you're not even an officer and you have all this like, are you living a lavish life or is the money hidden somewhere? Because like, I don't know, the stolen
Morgan
funds were funneled through shell companies and fake salaries, even covering luxury trips for associates. Prosecutors say the scheme not only defrauded taxpayers, but undermine competition. 45 years in prison he's facing and he's got to pay restitution. But you ain't gonna get that money back.
Eddie
Money's gone.
Morgan
Yeah, sorry. Money gone. Mike, we. Hand me that sheet that I have those other topics on move down here.
Amy
45 years in prison.
Eddie
That's a long time.
Amy
I know.
Morgan
It's a lot of money, so.
Amy
It is a lot of money. I know. Just over here thinking. It's so interesting how some people get put away and some people don't.
Morgan
A Texas mother's been charged with medical child abuse after allegedly spending years fabricating her three year old son's illness to get him unnecessary surgeries and treatments. She should go to jail for 45 years.
Eddie
Why is she getting the like, what are the unnecessary treatments?
Morgan
Katelyn Rose Laura, 31, was arrested in late March on felony charges including injury to a child causing serious bodily injury. Investigators say she falsely told doctors the boy had cerebral palsy Seizures and severe feeding problems, leading to a feeding tube surgery he didn't need at one point. He was on 17 different medications. When separated from his mother in February, the boy was eating normally, had no need for a wheelchair. Investigators also are looking into possible Medicare Medicaid fraud.
Eddie
Oh, there you go.
Morgan
And GoFundMe accounts, NBC News with that. She was dang.
Eddie
Collecting money.
Morgan
Hurting the kid terrible. Hurting the kid more. I don't even care about the money. You.
Eddie
No, I'm saying that's the reason why she did it.
Morgan
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Eddie
Hurting the kid. That's terrible.
Morgan
Your own kid. That's wild. You still think you're going to go to Paris?
Amy
Oh, I want to. I've been trying to manifest it. Morgan gave me a little Paris book and a scarf for my birthday. And in the card she was like. To help manifest your trip.
Morgan
You don't have to manifest it. You can just do it.
Amy
I have the book out and I've got the scarf ready.
Eddie
You can literally just book it.
Morgan
But, like, manifesting something is something you really don't have control over, that you could hopefully influence and make it happen. You can literally buy tickets and go to Paris, right?
Amy
So am I gonna buy tickets and go to Paris by myself?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
Yeah, that's what I have to decide. Which I will. Maybe. That would be really good for me. I. Right now, I don't know anybody that can go to Paris this summer. Except for.
Morgan
Go by yourself.
Amy
My ex boyfriend who's already going.
Eddie
Well, maybe. Oh, he's going already.
Amy
They're going to France and so I was gonna be Bob.
Morgan
You can't go with your ex boyfriend.
Amy
No, I know, I know.
Morgan
I mean, you could, but you can't.
Amy
That's what I'm saying. Like, they were. This was a trip. I was gonna be included on the whole family. His whole family. Oh, and then I was gonna be bop on up to Paris because they
Bobby Bones
were going for three days.
Morgan
By yourself.
Bobby Bones
You're single.
Morgan
You have the money. Don't go for longer than that because by yourself, longer than that will feel like an eternity.
Amy
But that entire flight over there, big
Morgan
deal, you're by yourself. Not a bad deal. You'll go. You'll fly to New York, you'll fly seven and a half hours over. You'll sleep on the plane a little bit, and you'll go on adrenaline. Day one, you'll sleep through. Day two, you'll do a little bit. Day three, then you'll be ready to come home.
Eddie
You have one day in Paris.
Morgan
No. You have three days sleeping the whole second day. You don't want to be exhausted the whole time, so you'll sleep a lot.
Amy
Day two I've done that.
Morgan
I've done a trip by myself to foreign countries before. Multiple times. If you go and you're exhausted and you're there three days, your whole trip, you're just tired. It sucks. So you do want to get there and do a lot of sleeping to catch up.
Bobby Bones

Amy
You see what I got going on here?
Morgan
What is that?
Amy
This is my duolingo. I'm duolingo.
Morgan
And he's learning a new language. She learning French, too. Really?
Amy
I've got French selected, and you fill out this questionnaire when you join the app, and it's like, what do you want to learn French for? To be fluent or to, like, just travel there and be like, get by. So I'm on the travel learning section. So I'm like, they look at you
Morgan
funny when you try. I know, because I got.
Amy
At least I'll maybe know what they're saying.
Morgan
You won't. I studied French at college, and I know that's a long time ago, but they talk so fast, and I would try. And I remember being in a mall and I said, you know, bonjour, whatever. And the guy was like, dude, I speak English.
Amy
And you're like, perfect, thank you.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, because I know English and
Morgan
I know they know English, but I was trying. And so I took it as a bit of an insult that even me trying so hard was so hard for them to understand, even though I knew the basic building blocks of French. And he was like, ah, yeah, I don't know.
Eddie
Let's just get on with this.
Morgan
Yeah, he was working.
Amy
Yeah, well, maybe I can just say
Morgan
it's fun to learn, though. But they talk so fast.
Amy
Cafe.
Eddie
What is that?
Amy
Coffee.
Eddie
Oh, okay.
Morgan
What is that?
Eddie
What did she say? She said.
Amy
I said, cafe.
Eddie
Un cafe. That's Spanish.
Amy
It's spelled U N. But it's like the way they say, I don't know. At least the little voice on here is baseball.
Morgan
What's that?
Eddie
I didn't know if cafe was the actual coffee shop or the actual coffee.
Amy
I'm so mad I missed one of the questions on here because eclair. Eclair in French is eclair in English, and I got confused because I kept looking for a different word that's like the pastry. Yes. It's not different.
Morgan
Of all the words you can learn, you're trying to learn eclair.
Amy
I'm not learning eclair. This is the traveler's guide. Eclair, croissant, cafe, teacher, Tea. No tea.
Eddie
What's the bathroom?
Amy
I haven't gotten the bathroom yet. Oh, you just get there. Si vous play. Bonjour. I don't know.
Morgan
Bonjour. They don't really say bonjour. It's so formal.
Amy
Bonsoir. I don't know. I think one morning. Good evening. I. Guys. I don't know. I just downloaded it. I'm on, like, day two.
Eddie
You should learn. Have you seen my wallet?
Morgan
I lost my phone.
Eddie
I lost my phone. I accidentally hit that car.
Morgan
Somebody scammed me.
Amy
Help. That's funny. Maybe I do need to learn how to say help.
Morgan
Eddie thinks he got offered World cup passes, like credentials.
Eddie
I got an email. I got an email, and it's. I don't know, it looks legit, but it says you have till Friday to claim your FIFA World cup credentials. And I'm like, this is crazy.
Amy
Did you see tickets have gone up to, like, $10,000?
Morgan
Yeah. I mean, even to buy them. If you can buy them from the World cup, they're very expensive. But if you're buying them, you know, secondary, you can. Some of Those tickets are $50,000.
Amy
Oh, my.
Eddie
Are they coming to Nashville? What's the closest.
Morgan
I don't think they're playing in Nash.
Amy
I don't know, Atlanta or something.
Morgan
Okay, Atlanta. Because they get to keep Mercedes Benz on the stadium. The rest of them, they have to remove all the names of the stadium. Yeah.
Eddie
Wow.
Morgan
New York, Atlanta. I don't think they're coming to Nashville. But what's crazy is the World cup and the Olympics are happening around not the same time, but, like, both in America.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
I'm out. I'm not doing big crowd stuff.
Eddie
You're out of what? The Olympics.
Amy
Any of that. Like, I'm not competing. No, no. But it would. Would y' all go to that and feel. I would go to that stuff and feel terrified, and I don't want to go.
Morgan
If I wanted to go, I would go and not be fearful, but I don't. I'm not a soccer guy anyway. Even the Olympics, I'm not gonna go to California. The Olympics feels like a mess just in general to have to fight through, but LA does like handle massive events really well, so it'd probably be a little easier in la. But the Olympics, they're having it all over North America.
Amy
Oh, it's scattered.
Morgan
And the World Cup I think is too.
Eddie
That is North America.
Morgan
The World cup is because the Olympics in America, they're doing softball in Oklahoma City. So. And then they do soccer in the Olympics too.
Amy
Okay, well, that I would maybe go to. I'd hit up a soft. An Olympic game in Oklahoma. I don't want to go to like. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to go to like,
Eddie
you know, I go track and field.
Amy
There's.
Bobby Bones
Can you pull that up like site.
Morgan
Because I'm. It's in la, but I think they're having.
Guest
You want the World cup or the.
Morgan
I don't know.
Eddie
I'm confused.
Guest
I have the World Cup.
Morgan
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Do World Cup.
Guest
World cup is Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Louisiana. Miami, New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seattle.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Eddie
So just America.
Morgan
Big shout out Kansas City for getting.
Eddie
Yeah. Arrowhead, I guess.
Morgan
Yeah, yeah. But they have a. They have a really good like followed soccer team. But yeah. Probably Arrowhead's only stadium big enough to fill.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah. Like, I think they have a nice soccer culture there, but I don't think you need a soccer culture really because I think the culture will come to you in the World Cup Olympics.
Mike
So the 2028 Summer Olympics are going to be in Los Angeles, California with some preliminary soccer matches and a few specific event softball Canoe Solemn are planned for cities across the US and Oklahoma City. What cities are New York, Columbus, St Louis, Nashville, San Jose and San Diego are the decentralized events.
Morgan
Imagine this. You've been training your whole life. You live in China.
Amy
Yeah.
Morgan
And you're like, we're going to the Olympics. Where are you going? Columbus, Ohio. And big shout to Columbus.
Bobby Bones
Not a big city.
Morgan
So you finally think you're going to come to see Los Angeles and you're doing some random event in Louisville.
Amy
Do you get to go to the big ceremony and then you travel to.
Mike
If you win. So the preliminary soccer matches are in those cities.
Amy
I mean, opening, like do you get. Because I feel like that's the whole experience. You're not. Yeah. To be at the opening.
Morgan
I would imagine. Yes, you'll get to do the opening. Unless you're. Unless your matches are. Because some of those matches are before the Olympics even start.
Amy
Oh.
Morgan
And so I think timing is probably a big Part of it.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
If you're like the next day, if you know you're playing in Jackson, Mississippi the next day, I don't think you're
Eddie
gonna go do the beautiful Jackson, Mississippi.
Morgan
Yeah. You're in Mountain Pine, Arkansas. Can you imagine?
Guest
Yeah.
Morgan
You made it.
Eddie
Wow.
Guest
Congrats.
Morgan
You're going to Olympics. Where are you at? Hot Springs, Arkansas.
Eddie
Did it say what's in Nashville? Because that'd be fun.
Mike
That's the preliminary soccer.
Morgan
So they're going to play here in the football stadium.
Eddie
Okay.
Mike
Yeah. And then softball and what? Salam Canoe Salaam is going to be in Oklahoma City.
Morgan
I don't know what that is. It's not slalom. That's all I think about is skiing.
Mike
It's spelled like that. S L A L, O, M. Slalom.
Amy
Maybe it's the skiing, but in a
Morgan
canoe, I would think if it's slalom.
Mike
Let's see.
Morgan
Salam feels like something religious or short for salami. Or salami. Yes.
Mike
They navigate through 150 and 300 meter rapid course, passing between red upstream and green downstream.
Morgan
My point is, I don't think that the FIFA World cup is reaching out to you to try to give you credentials.
Eddie
Oh, well, here's the thing too. It's in my personal email. So like, I don't do any kind of like business on that. It's literally just like my, my kids
Amy
school, you're getting scammed.
Eddie
So. But it's so specific, like with everything that I need. Here's another theory I have too about that. I also have gotten emails from another Eddie Garcia who uses my email for petsmart like a lot of other stores and he lives in California. So I'm wondering if he legitimately applied for these and forgot, like, oh, no, this is not my real address. So what if it's real?
Morgan
What if they just know every Garcia likes soccer so they just send it to all Garcias as a scam?
Eddie
I mean, I could have gotten targeted for that.
Amy
Sure.
Morgan
Also, I have a note here that CEO of Whataburger wants to meet with Eddie.
Eddie
Yeah. Scuba hit me up.
Morgan
The CEO of actual Whataburger.
Eddie
Whataburger. And he was like, Scuba was like, when are you available? The CEO wants to meet you. And I'm like, dude, let's do this. Why do you think he wants to meet me?
Morgan
Well, you're a big water burger guy, but Scuba, is this the real CEO?
Eddie
Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Debbie
And it's a woman.
Eddie
Her name's Debbie. Why would she want to sex me? Why would she want to see me. That's very sexist of me.
Amy
Dang.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
Yeah.
Debbie
It's one of those things where, like, even before I knew Eddie, I'm sure he's been a massive fan of Whataburger, and for six years, we've been trying to do something with it, and just, like, I don't know what we're waiting for. So she reached out and she said, hey, I'm gonna be in town. And I guess her daughter is a massive fan of this show, and so she wants to come by and see the studio and that kind of stuff. So Eddie is also a fan of Whataburger, so it just makes sense.
Morgan
Yeah, let them come up.
Debbie
Yeah, they're coming.
Eddie
Yeah.
Morgan
So actually, she wants to come up and see the show, and then you're also here.
Amy
Scuba. Did Scuba pitch Eddie to meet her or she wanted to meet Eddie?
Debbie
Well, there's been many conversations where they've
Morgan
come by a few different times. No, what I was told is Eddie said the CEO of Whataburger wants to meet him.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what Scuba told me.
Debbie
And she does. Yeah, she really does, because she. She loves your passion for the brand and wants to see you.
Eddie
That's me, man. Yeah. Yeah.
Debbie
And. And see the studio and that kind of thing.
Eddie
You think I should hit her with, like, I can be the face of Whataburger.
Morgan
Not if you don't want to be disappointed.
Eddie
What does that mean?
Morgan
They're never going to choose you as
Eddie
a face of Waterbury. Why not?
Morgan
Two reasons. One, your face.
Eddie
What's wrong with my face?
Morgan
And two, they would get somebody, like, actually famous. No.
Eddie
Sometimes people. Well, it's a bad example, but sometimes they use normal people, but not as
Morgan
the face of Whataburger. They would want to get someone like a Hemsworth.
Amy
Not. He has since been canceled. I know, but we're not Jared from Subway.
Bobby Bones
But Jared from Subway had a whole story.
Morgan
Like, he.
Bobby Bones
I have some weight.
Amy
Oh, yeah, he lost weight.
Morgan
No, you don't. Jared from Subway went from a guy who was extremely overweight to losing, like, £100.
Eddie
They could make that up.
Morgan
But they didn't make that up, though. Like, you don't have a story.
Amy
Start your story.
Eddie
I did not want to use him as an example, but perfect example of.
Morgan
But that's not a. That's not a perfect example, though.
Amy
It's actually not, because Bobby's right. He had a. He built a story. Like, if you were going to Water Burger, you know, twice a day every week, and you had this whole Thing and it changed your life.
Eddie
Okay, let me start brainstorming.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
How did Water Burger change my life?
Morgan
Let us know what you come up with. One in ten Americans suffer from compulsive buying. Scientists define this disorder as uncontrolled urges to buy with significant adverse consequences. Doing things such as buying to improve your mood, buying for buying sake, or getting into financial trouble with all your buying counts as compulsive buying. The American Journal of Psychiatry. Thoughts?
Amy
I see how that happens. I definitely feel better after I buy something, but it's short lived. And with my maturity I have realized that. So I try not to seek my dopamine from that. However, it. I slip up every now and then, but I don't have that. Whatever that is. No, I'm in a season of saving.
Morgan
You know where I slip up most is on Instagram. They. They offer me some good deals like sweatshirts and stuff.
Amy
Well, they just make it too easy.
Morgan
And then I feel good on a buy. Makes me feel good.
Eddie
Are they good shirts?
Morgan
Yeah, for the most part. Like, I bought. I don't know why, I don't even like peanuts or Charlie Brown, but I bought like a Linus oversized sweatshirt. It just looked comfortable. And I bought it and I wore it the other day and I don't know, pretty good, but I don't. It hurts me because I don't really wear anything to work unless it's a cardigan. So I don't buy a bunch of clothes anymore. Shoes I do a little bit. I'm not as shoey as I used to be, but shirts, what do I. I just wear cardigans and T shirts all the time. So they cut down the clothing buying.
Amy
Yeah, I've been trying to just wait, re. Re. Wear things as much as possible. I used to shop a lot more and now I'm just like, whatever. I used to think, oh, I wore that last week, I'm not gonna wear it. And now I'm like, it's a Friday. And I'll think, oh, I wore that Monday. Okay, I'm gonna wear it on Friday. I don't care anymore.
Morgan
I mean, I wear things two or three days in a row sometimes. Yeah, no, because I know. Who cares? They're editing video clips anyway. There's no difference.
Eddie
Yeah, who cares?
Morgan
When I get home though, I change immediately.
Eddie
Yeah, you're cut off.
Morgan
Cut off with shorts.
Eddie
Okay, quick.
Morgan
Every day. There are home tests now to test your cellular age.
Amy
Oh, this I will buy.
Morgan
You may think you know how old you are, but longevity experts say that that's not necessarily the case you were born on X date, but how many times have you celebrated your birthday? But it's what's happening other than chronologically. That is your cellular age and cellular level and that is your true age. There are direct to consumer test kits that determine your biological age based on wear and tear of your body. Saliva based instead of blood based. Dr. Douglas Vaughn, the director of Longevity Institute at Northwestern University School of Medicine says biological test kits can figure out health data.
Amy
So where do we get it?
Morgan
NBC News has a story, doesn't give a link. Ranging from 300 to 500 bucks. Some experts say the test walks a fine line.
Amy
How much? 300.
Morgan
500.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
Amy, I can tell you right now, you, you're younger than your cellular age is younger than your real age.
Amy
Yeah, but I want to know what my cellular age is. Hello, Phone. Give me a link.
Morgan
She's not pushing a button. She just wants it to hear.
Eddie
It'll come later.
Christy
It will.
Amy
It'll show up in my algorithm. No doubt.
Morgan
A California gas station is charging 9.99 a gallon.
Amy
9.99.
Morgan
The very remote Gorda by the Sea gas station. A Big sur is selling a gallon of gas for $9.99 and it would be $10 or more. But the digital numbers on the gas pump don't go higher.
Eddie
That's what I was going to ask. Yeah.
Morgan
He claims he's not gouging. He's not making any money off the high prices. He says the whole central California coastal town runs off gas generators, not electricity, which is the reason his prices are so inflated. Also, the tanker truck that fills the pumps comes from 100 miles away. The town is usually listed as having the highest prices in the country because of how hard it is to get to ksbw.
Eddie
Ain't no good.
Morgan
Ain't no good. I'm just so happy I have electric cars.
Eddie
We're close to five here. Like, we're so close to five.
Morgan
I saw it was like 489 or something.
Eddie
Yeah. And it goes up like every day like a couple cents. Crazy. And I've never been that kind to like look at the gas prices or comment about the best. But I'm that dad now, like driving the car and like, look, honey, look at that. We went up two cents but because it's climbing fast.
Amy
What are you looking at me?
Eddie
What do you got?
Morgan
Okay. Nothing. What? This story's not.
Amy
Oh, I thought you were showing me something.
Morgan
No.
Amy
Oh, it's only probably gonna get a little Higher, Eddie.
Morgan
I know they don't open the effing straight.
Amy
I know. I was just looking at my phone and I was like, okay, it's 10:36 right now.
Morgan
Any other crazy tweets? That's what I was looking at you about.
Amy
No, I was checking the time because I'm kind of scared.
Eddie
For 8pm why is the straight closed?
Morgan
Because they don't want us using it.
Eddie
I come to you guys for all my political news. Do you?
Morgan
Well, they've closed it. I mean, I wonder what chat GBT would say the real answer to that instead of me giving misinformation. They're not letting us use it. They're letting other people use it.
Eddie
This is the.
Morgan
Let me just ask, boy.
Eddie
Which straight is this? South America.
Bobby Bones
So you know nothing.
Morgan
You literally know nothing.
Amy
This is over in the Middle East.
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, it's a straight over there. Straight.
Morgan
I'm not saying you know nothing is a bat. Like, you're an idiot. I'm saying you're coming from.
Eddie
No, yeah, I don't. I don't read those.
Amy
But yeah, apparently if they don't open it tonight, into civilization is going to be bad. And we'll know by 8pm which time zone. I.
Morgan
Probably Eastern.
Amy
I'm. I assume D.C. because that's where he was posting from.
Morgan
Yeah. Or Florida.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Amy
Oh.
Mike
Can I admit something? I saw something the other day talking about how, like, they were gonna. Iran was gonna take out a bunch of our, like, tech companies and banks and stuff. So I panicked and went and got cash from the atm. That's the first time something online has ever, like.
Amy
Like, panicked me.
Mike
Enough that I would drain your account? No, but just enough to, like. Because I was having, like, the last of us vibes where I was like, we're gonna need cash. That's the only way we're gonna be able to function. And go, like, panicked. It was the first time ever that I really felt it. I was like, I'm just gonna make sure I have cash on hand.
Amy
It's not a bad idea.
Eddie
Because isn't that, like, part of. I mean, it would be a huge issue if everyone took money out of the bank at the same time.
Amy
Well, yeah, because they need that. It is 8pm Eastern, by the way. Just kind of very bizarre behavior, you know?
Morgan
Yeah.
Eddie
And that's why our gas prices are
Morgan
up, like, roughly quarter, maybe. Wrong. That of oil travels through the strait, and so it is definitely a big part of it. It sits between Iran and. I don't know how to say this as A country, Oman. So it's the straight of H O R M U Z. Yeah, I don't
Amy
know how to say it either, but Hormuz. Hormez.
Morgan
It is a very important oil route, and because about a quarter of oil passes through it, there's no oil going through it. If it's shut down to us, we're not getting the oil. Oil's more expensive. So. Yeah.
Amy
And this morning at like 7:06am Our President sent a very dire warning on his social media. Sending a message and making a declaration that's going to be the end of a civilization.
Morgan
That's like a war crime, which is. I don't think it'll happen. I literally don't think it'll happen. I think you just end up saying, oh, we compromised, we negotiated. I got what I want. Even if he didn't, I think that's what'll happen.
Eddie
I hope so.
Morgan
I mean, he was saying yesterday in a press briefing, he could nuke it. He could wipe it out in a day.
Amy
I kind of. Yeah, just. Can it be tomorrow and we can know what's going on?
Morgan
Do you see all the people fooled by the AI picture of the pilot that they saved?
Amy
No. What? What. Which picture?
Mike
Did I fall for it.
Amy
What was the picture? The found pilot?
Morgan
Yeah.
Mike
Was it them on the helicopter?
Morgan
Total AI.
Amy
Okay. We need a new. There has to be a.
Morgan
Well, they're not going to show everybody's faces. All the SEAL team.
Amy
I understand that.
Morgan
And everybody's face was right in, like, going. But even Greg Abbott was like, this is a great picture. It was so easily AI so, like, what do.
Amy
What do we do? Like, there needs to be a AI banner. You know, like when we were kids and we would get proofs of our softball pictures, our baseball pictures, school pictures, you know.
Eddie
Watermark.
Amy
Yeah, like a watermark. And there needs to be like a AI stamp. That.
Morgan
That's the point of AI. They don't want you to know. It's.
Amy
I know they want.
Debbie
It's real.
Morgan
It's marked on Twitter sometimes.
Guest
So you want to be reposted.
Morgan
It.
Guest
There was like a little.
Amy
A watermark.
Morgan
At first it wasn't marked, but then enough people do community note on it that it ends up being marked. But there were Congress people. The governor of Texas were like, great picture. Love it. It was obviously AI.
Amy
Yeah. You can't. Government people need to. We can't react too quickly to things these days because then you're going to look like you don't know what you're talking about. I Can look like that. Like AI.
Mike
The point is to confuse us so when stuff does come out, we don't know what's true or what's not.
Amy
Yes. Isn't that kind of the point?
Morgan
Almost cartoonish though, meaning.
Amy
And then to Bobby's point, like showing their faces like, hey, yeah.
Morgan
Now that I think about it, everybody was too good looking. The face was perfect, perfectly lit. Yeah. The flag was in the perfect place. Everybody was like celebrating a helicopter clean. It was to me so obviously fake. I couldn't believe it. Now the incident wasn't fake. They went and I. Thankfully to those Iranian people, they helped us. Once he went down, he had to climb. He climbed like 6,000ft to a higher place and then. And then hid for like 36 hours. And then we got there and saved him. Like shout out to our guys for going and do. But like the Iranian people helped out. Like they blocked traffic for a while. Like it was crazy how that part of the country isn't as aligned with who we feel is adversarial to us. And so they helped.
Amy
I can't remember what this is called in Afghanistan, but in the Hindu Kush mountains, whenever. The lone survivor, I can't think of his name right now, but he was a SEAL member and he was in a shootout with the Taliban. Everybody else in his unit died and he was the lone survivor and he was hiding in the mountains. And the villagers that lived in these mountains, they're afraid Gan people. And they knew who he was, but they said regardless of who he was, part of their culture is, if someone is in need, you help them. And they took him in and they helped protect him from the Taliban. And it's got a specific name of what it is in their, in their culture, but that they're like, this is what we do. Like, to them, it would be a sin to not help the person that needed help, no matter who that might be.
Morgan
I was reading some of the story about the rescue of the pilot, our soldier, and from what I read, there were some of. There were some of our equipment we couldn't get back up once we went in. And so, you know, we do. If we can't get it back up, we blow it up. We blow our own stuff up.
Eddie
So no one else can.
Morgan
No one else can have it. What was great was we. It didn't matter the cost of the equipment. Like, we go, we get our guy. Like, that's.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Super cool.
Morgan
And so we got our guy. But then I saw the picture and I was like, obviously this is fake. Everybody knows this is fake.
Bobby Bones
It showed like, every.
Morgan
All the SEAL members faces. Like, then.
Amy
Yeah, that's true.
Morgan
Then you have all these politicians, like, retweet it going, great picture. Wonder, like, are you guys this. Maybe they're just old. It's just. They're just old.
Mike
I think that's where I first saw it was because somebody like, the feed on for the show is like, so scattered. There's so much in it. And I think what I saw was people reacting to politicians sharing it. And that's how I even saw the photo, was because politicians were sharing it. It wasn't in my feed otherwise.
Morgan
Yeah, there's a. I saw Waymo this morning. Did you guys see those driving around ever?
Amy
No.
Eddie
Driverless.
Morgan
I don't know because it was dark when I was driving in. But I saw it and it was at a light and that thing was spinning on top of it.
Guest
Yeah, they're driverless now. Here they are for like, the last couple weeks.
Eddie
Wow, cool. Cause I saw one a couple days ago with still someone in it.
Morgan
Can you order a driverless one here?
Guest
I haven't tried, but I've seen them. I don't know if they're still like, testing them without people because I haven't seen anybody in the back. I've just seen solo Waymos.
Eddie
You need to try one. Because I really want know what you think about it.
Morgan
Yeah, Waymos for those that don't know. And I've never been in one. I've only heard the news stories about them. And you guys have been in them?
Eddie
Yeah, they.
Morgan
There's no driver. And they just. They. It's an Uber, but with no driver. But there was a story a Waymo had to be rescued from the flood waters in San Antonio over the weekend after it got stuck. There were no passengers inside. Officers attempted. Attempted to help Renavigate, but they couldn't. So news for San Antonio.
Amy
This is how messed up my brain is. Like, I just got sad for the car for being stuck.
Morgan
Poor car.
Eddie
Oh, you didn't think like, wow, thank you.
Amy
No, I know. I did think that. I was like, wow, there are no humans. But then I had this thought of, like, I was sad for the car.
Eddie
The car.
Morgan
Help me.
Bobby Bones
Help me.
Amy
Because it's a Waymo. Because it drives itself and it had like. It says, I need to. I need intervention.
Eddie
Tell my family I love them.
Morgan
Help my family.
Amy
Oh, gosh.
Morgan
All right, that's it. Do we got everybody's story? Lunchbox is not here today. Sick. So everybody. Everybody got the story, everybody. Good. I mean, anything else up with you?
Amy
Yeah. No.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
No, no. I'm telling you, I'm just gonna keep. I think I probably have to take a Xanax tonight at 7:00pm let's go. Maybe 8:00pm Central, so I can just go to sleep. So I don't know what's happening in the world.
Eddie
Oh, gotcha.
Morgan
I've been completely medicationless for, like, six weeks.
Amy
Well, yeah.
Morgan
About to get back on it, though.
Amy
Maybe tonight is the night.
Eddie
Oh, you want to do it with Amy?
Amy
I know. And now Morgan's got me, and now I gotta go to the bank. Sorry.
Eddie
No, don't do that. Don't do that.
Amy
Well, just a little bit. I do have my.
Bobby Bones
You should do.
Morgan
Have just a little bit anyway.
Amy
Yeah, I have my gold nugget.
Eddie
Man, my cash doesn't last at all. Like, I leave my wallet in the drawer by the keys. And the kids, the wife.
Amy
Wait, the kids have access to the cash?
Eddie
Well, I just leave my wallet there
Morgan
and then it's the kid's cash and piggy banks. That's his money, dude.
Eddie
It's just terrible. And then. And then I'll be like, where's that $10 I had? And then my son will be like, oh, I needed it for lunch. Sorry, Dad. I took it the other day, like. So, like, all the money I made on the boat. I made like 250 bucks on the boat.
Morgan
You gotta hide it better.
Amy
Oh, I still have that cash. And it's hidden. I keep mine hidden.
Morgan
Well, where exactly?
Amy
I'm not. I'm not saying.
Eddie
By the gold bar.
Amy
No.
Morgan
Which is located in the freezer.
Eddie
By the.
Amy
I'm not telling you where the cash is, but I do. I still have my boat cat. I call it my boat cache.
Morgan
All right, that's gonna wrap it up for today. Thank you, everybody. New Bobby cast up today with the lead singer of Switchfoot. So you can check that out on podcast or on Netflix. What about you?

Morgan
Dream big.
Eddie
Keep working, kid.
Morgan
Dream big.
Amy
And Kat, my co host, is a therapist. She taught me about seagulling. And turns out we find out in real time that I've been seagulled before and I'm dirty.
Morgan
Sounds like somebody just pooping on you. What? I think I was a seagull. Like, flying over and just pooping on
Eddie
you or stealing your food.
Amy
Kat reveals the crazy reason why she didn't go to the University of Alabama. It's so crazy to me.
Morgan
Why don't you just tell me that?
Amy
Okay. She said she had such anxiety as a high schooler and she already had body image issues and she started to freak out. That's really the. That's where she wanted to go. And she ended up going to a much smaller school in Mississippi, and then she did her grad program at Vanderbilt, but she was so dead set on going to Alabama and last minute pulled it because she heard that during sorority rush, they sit you on a dryer and turn it on and then circle your fat where it jiggles.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
Yes, I've heard.
Mike
Confirmed.
Morgan
I've heard of that. And a bunch. With a bunch of sororities I had.
Amy
I mean, I was in a sorority at the same day. I have never heard that in my life. Like that. That's. And I. I just thought it was crazy that she made a decision. And she's very. Education schooling, like, she's. She loves school. She loves learning. She was always like the number one best in class. That's just what she loves. And she was so excited to go there. And for her to pick a different school based on being put on a dryer and having your fat circled, I just. I'd be like, dude, maybe don't rush.
Eddie
What does a dryer do? It shakes your fat and then you kind of see what's.
Amy
Yeah, you see what jiggles and then they circle it.
Eddie
We should do that here.
Amy
Morgan, are you confirming?
Mike
I didn't have that experience. It was very popular in southern sororities, and we had two girls come from the same, like, Tridel. From southern schools to our Tridel and talked about it literally happened to them. And they had proof and it was crazy. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. I just thought that that was like a. I would think, well, surely that's not gonna happen. Or maybe I just wouldn't rush and I would go to the university I wanted to go to.
Morgan
I think now it's more of an urban legend. It used to happen back in the day.
Amy
Yeah.
Mike
I don't think they can get away with it as much anymore. It used to be like, we started on this show.
Eddie
Yeah, let's do it.
Amy
A hidden.
Eddie
I mean, I know where it is.
Morgan
The more jiggle, the better.
Amy
You know where to jiggle.
Eddie
I don't need a dryer to tell me where it is.
Morgan
All right, we're done. You guys have a good rest of the day. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.

Guaranteed Human.
Host: Bobby Bones
Show Team: Amy, Eddie, Morgan, Mike, with guest input and Scuba Steve
Main Themes: Celebrity encounters, canceled concerts, UFO disclosure, pop culture, scams, manifesting dreams, and viral news commentary
In this lively and candid episode, the Bobby Bones Show team tackles a wide range of topics: Sheryl Crow playfully calls out Lunchbox on a mix-up about her house, the UK boots Kanye West from a festival and triggers a discussion on accountability in pop culture, Congress pushes for the release of secret UFO videos, and Amy dives into manifesting a solo Paris trip. The hosts swap personal stories—from hot dog trauma to cash hiding tactics—while reflecting on everything from gas prices and AI misinformation to Olympic venues and compulsive shopping.
On forgiving public figures:
"When you do really bad things, it takes a really long time to get that redemption back." —Morgan [08:15]
On secret UFO tech:
"If we have found, we'll just say craft...and we have their technology that we're trying to reverse engineer... we don't want other countries to know what we have." —Bobby Bones [15:59]
On solo travel to Paris:
"You don’t have to manifest it. You can just do it." —Morgan [27:21]
On AI photos fooling officials:
"There needs to be an AI banner...like a watermark.” —Amy [50:15]
On cash around the house:
"I leave my wallet in the drawer by the keys. And the kids, the wife... And then my son will be like, 'Oh, I needed it for lunch. Sorry Dad.'" —Eddie [55:48]
The episode is a classic Bobby Bones Show blend of humor, honesty, cultural commentary, and everyday absurdity. The team weaves together headline news, personal anecdotes, deep dives into pop culture dilemmas, and even the existential threat posed by AI—serving it all with plenty of playful banter and audience relatability.
Closing Thought:
If you listen, you’ll experience fast-paced conversation, compassionate debates, genuine curiosity, and lots of laughs—the heart of The Bobby Bones Show.
