It's hard to read the news these days without asking yourself, how did we get here? Fiasco is a history podcast for the co creators of Slow Burn. In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics. The 2000 election, which resulted in a high stakes stalemate, ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history. So if you're trying to make sense of the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Here we go.
Laura Layton
Come on, Bobby Bobby Bob Transmitting Across America.
Amy
Welcome to Wednesday Show Morning, studio. Morning. I was reading this story right when I came on the air. I love it. College football fans want to be buried at their favorite stadiums. This is from ESPN college football Instagram account.
Eddie
Well, that would be weird, right? For, like.
Amy
So it's not exactly that. Okay. Buried would be. They'd have to put the body somewhere. Yeah, it'd be like a graveyard outside the football. Like, I get it. But. At a Nebraska Board of Regents meeting over the summer, Barbara White had an idea. What? Passionate fans pay money to have their cremated remains stored or spread at the stadium. I'm all for it. It's ashes.
Eddie
That's better.
Amy
That's ashes.
Lunchbox
That's okay.
Amy
Who even knows? You don't even see out. You spread them out. I think you can make a lot of money doing that. And people would, like, die hard. Fans would constantly go, yep, I'll go to Nebraska. Hey, Ohio State guy. Hey. And then that's cool.
Eddie
But maybe they have, like, a plot in a room in the stadium, not like on the field.
Amy
Yeah, it's ashes. There's no.
Eddie
You don't want to spread those ashes.
Amy
Ashes don't hate people.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah, but I looked it up. I don't know. Then there's, like, co. Mingling. What of the ashes?
Amy
Ashes aren't having affairs with other ashes that aren't married. Yeah, I just think it would be like dirt sand. When they redo the field, which they do every year.
Courtney Thorne Smith
But Eddie's onto something with those rooms. Like, I think at a cemetery, it's a columbarium or something.
Eddie
Yeah, they have, like, a room for those things.
Amy
But here's the thing. Then that becomes, like, a really morbid part of the stadium, and you don't want that. You can put them anywhere. If they had season tickets in Row 3, 8, 9, and 10, you could spread some there.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Like a fountain.
Amy
And you don't even tell people. You don't want to tell people where they are, is my point. You don't want to have a specific place where everybody's ashes are. If you pay your money, they'll put your ashes out somewhere in the stadium. No one ever knows. Okay. I think it's. I think it's excellent.
Lunchbox
So you're not talking down on the field.
Amy
It could be, but depending on where you're going, depending on what level of donor you are.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's a good point. You want to get the 50 yard line also.
Amy
It could be after the season's over because they tear the field out anyway. Right. You guys are just going dead bad I'm going dead. Beautiful.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well then every season you get ripped up and taken away.
Amy
But it doesn't matter if it's an ash. You're going away anyway.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Why don't you just like donate a brick, you know, with their name on it.
Eddie
They probably already do that.
Amy
Guys are such haters.
Courtney Thorne Smith
No, because I just think this is weird.
Amy
I'm not saying it's not weird, but I think it's weird in a beautiful way.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Whatever. I guarantee you you're going to look into having your casket buried at casket. You want to get your body get buried.
Lunchbox
I mean, imagine they bury the people under the field, like in their casket. Now that is.
Amy
That's weird.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Do it at the end of the season. They rip up the field anyway.
Amy
No, no, no. Your ashes. You can't tell the difference. I'm saying it doesn't have to also be all the ashes. It could just be a handful you scoop and throw in the air on the 50 yard line. Yeah.
Courtney Thorne Smith
You get a teaspoon of ashes.
Amy
Now. Now you're regulating. I don't like that. That's not the American way. Disney's Haunted Mansion was shut down after someone scattered ashes on it.
Eddie
You've been in that one?
Amy
I don't know. I don't. Yo, I have.
Eddie
It's like you ride through and all the ghosts are in there.
Amy
Hold on. Is that the thing you stand in and it's that it goes up and down and stuff?
Eddie
No, no.
Amy
Cuz we have a friend who lives next door to somebody and they had the Haunted Mansion right in their house. Remember that? Yes. Was that the Haunted Mansion?
Eddie
Yes, the same. Same deal.
Amy
Oh my God. Oh my God. It was the craziest thing we've ever seen in their house. They lived on. On Disney.
Eddie
It was on the Disney. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
And they had the Haunted Mansion right in their house and you get in.
Courtney Thorne Smith
And like their own version of it.
Eddie
Correct.
Amy
Okay, yes, but it's that I was think. Okay, they were, they were so rich.
Courtney Thorne Smith
People live on Disney property.
Lunchbox
Who knew you could live on at Disney?
Amy
There's a neighborhood, 15 houses, and it's massive. It's not. It's super safe and it's not right.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Sure. It just sounds terrible.
Eddie
You're not next to magic.
Lunchbox
Can you imagine?
Amy
Welcome to Hater 100, everybody. Good morning.
Courtney Thorne Smith
I'm just not a Disney person. Like I see all these families and they're all like excited about Disney and I'm like. The one time I went, I was like lowkey excited. I mean literally low.
Amy
Like You're. You're projecting. Okay?
Courtney Thorne Smith
I mean, I wouldn't live there anyway even if I could.
Amy
Yeah, you would.
Courtney Thorne Smith
No, it's pretty awesome.
Amy
Anyway, the haunted mansion. So someone scattered their loved ones ashes all over it. The key to this is not doing all the ashes. It. You take it like Amy would say a teaspoon. Yeah. You sneak it and you put some of the ashes there. But when you do the whole thing. Ah, then like, why did that person do that? Oh my good. So. But yeah, that's what it was. They said they shut it down.
Lunchbox
How'd they get their urn into the park?
Amy
It doesn't have to be in an earn. You take in a bag. Well, my mom died. They don't give it to you in an urn.
Eddie
Get you in a bag.
Amy
Get the ear. They give it to you in a little bag that's in a box and then you can put it in the urn. Yeah, easily.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Be like a voss.
Amy
When I take my crack places in a bag.
Lunchbox
Who says a voss?
Eddie
Amy just did you say.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you just do the whole segment. I was trying to listen to Bob.
Amy
And you said, it's hater 100 today and Amy is on it.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Y'all are hating cuz I said fuck.
Amy
You only said that for a fact because you don't say boss.
Courtney Thorne Smith
I honestly don't know why I said boss.
Amy
So go and have your tomato salad, we'll get started. Hello, Bobby Bones. I won the honor of hosting Thanksgiving. Ended up losing a television in the process. My sister and her husband don't seem to have any control over their three sons. During the fighting within the kids, my 85 inch television was knocked off its stand and smashed into the floor. My sister was ultra apologetic, but then tried to laugh it off and like, well, that's the holidays for you. I reminded her there were plenty of Black Friday deals on new televisions and they'd be on sale the next couple days. But she was really not having any of it. She made it clear it was not her responsibility and I was on my own to buy a new tv. Clearly this isn't right, but I don't know the best way to handle it. She says, quote, my insurance should take care of it, but I don't think it does, and I'm not sure that's the point. Signed TV Less Brother. So because it's your sister, this is a whole different dynamic. In a perfect world, in a vacuum, she would go, oh, my kids did that. I'm gonna buy you a new tv. That obviously is not happening for what? Could be a couple of reasons. One, she just may feel like, nah, it's at your house. Crap gets broken the end. And you're my brother too. She doesn't have the money for it. Either way, I don't think you're getting a TV from her. I think that is a loss. I think you can extend this and fight with her and it be a fight within the family. I think it's a loss, man. I think you can ask her, hey, would you mind chipping in a little? And that's going to be your decision. But because it's your sister, you can't. You. You're not going to be able to dig in and go, give me the tv. Or because she choose or because there's a reason she's not jumping in. It may be financial. It may be like, no, you hosted it. Kids break, everything at our house. She doesn't remember what it's like to not have kids. You're out of TV now. You want to be out of sister. Is the question at least for. Because that. That could. Because this will grow to much more than just a fight about a tv. It will grow to being estranged if you just. If you hold on to this. That sucks. You lost the tv. It was at your house. She should have had control of her kids. All these things can be true at the same time. I would ask her, this is me. I would say, hey, it really sucks. I don't have this TV anymore. Is there any way you could help me out with part of it and I'll pay for the rest? Like, go to her as a human, but don't expect her to pay for all of it. And what's do with. You know, do what she says there, but you're not getting the TV back.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, so I'm glad you brought this up, because I genuinely had no idea if homeowners insurance will cover this. And I guess it depends on what you have.
Amy
That's the thing.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, I know, but most everything I'm seeing here is it does cover electronics.
Amy
Great.
Courtney Thorne Smith
If they're stolen or broken. So it could be worth looking into.
Amy
We don't even know that he has insurance. Right.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Correct.
Amy
That was just saying. Look, your insurance will cover it.
Courtney Thorne Smith
I'm just curious for other people, because I would have never known. Like, I've been like, oh, shoot, my TV is broken. Okay. Or if, you know, I broke your tv, Bobby, I probably. I would want to offer to pay for it. And I'd probably just pay you. And how I'm Going to be like your insurance will cover it.
Amy
Deductible. Deductible though.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Okay, I can cover that part.
Amy
So what you do also is like you dress up in the middle of the night in all black and you break into your house and you steal the broken TV and you run out with it and you have it all in ring cam and then you were like, somebody stole my tv. Okay, that's another way. Then you go to jail for fraud possibly. Or you get a new tv. Right. I think it's just a. Let's be humans here. Would you mind helping me a little bit? Right. And if she says no, it's almost like loaning money to a family member. You can choose to just hold it over them and never talk to them again until they give it back or just go. I've learned a lesson about loaning money to a family member. And also 85 inches baller, let's go. That's how I know he's single.
Eddie
Big tv.
Amy
That's how I know he's single. That's how I know he's single. 85 inch TV and just like prime on a stand or somebody's not knocking it over. Good luck with that. I think you want to keep your sister, be a human, ask her for a little help and then never host Thanksgiving again. Or like cover that fence with a gate. Like a little fence. Not. Not what you wanted to hear. But close that up. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Courtney Thorne Smith
So when it comes to top gifts for kids this holiday season, you think it would be games, something like that? Video stuff? No, it's clothing, shoes and accessories. Not only are kids asking for it, but parents are like sweet. This is practical cuz I have to buy you clothes and shoes anyways. You're growing, you need new stuff. And now at the win win, I get to get it for you for Christmas.
Amy
Can I present a theory?
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah.
Amy
I think kids, once they get to be about, I would say it's young and younger, 10 or 11. Like toys aren't really as much of a thing as electronics.
Courtney Thorne Smith
That's what also that falls under toys. Video games.
Amy
That's a toy.
Lunchbox
Whoa.
Amy
That's like life.
Eddie
Yeah. And my kids don't want clothes.
Courtney Thorne Smith
It is really.
Amy
But cool clothes.
Eddie
Yeah. There's like that, that brand with a whale on it. I guess they asked for a couple of those, but other than that they're all toys. Fudgy the well no, like Vineyard Vines.
Amy
I know that's ice cream, dude. It's a flavor. Yeah. Okay, so if toys are electronics, then okay, cool.
Courtney Thorne Smith
And my daughter in her stocking, she's asking for practical things. She asks for toiletries.
Amy
That's like, why are you not giving them to her anyway? Amy, your daughter wants deodorant. Mom, is there any chance I get some toilet paper? Amy, we need to have a talk after the show.
Courtney Thorne Smith
No, but I'm just like, this is awesome. I can just get her toothpaste and face wash and stuff her soggy.
Amy
Someone say, you should have already got it for her.
Courtney Thorne Smith
But speaking of kids, this is happening in Australia right now, and I don't know if it's going to make its way to America, but they are voting right now to ban social media for children under 16. And if a company, you know, doesn't enforce the ban, they could be fined up to 50 million Australian dollars.
Amy
A company. So I would say this. There are rules in the United States where If you're under 12, you should. And you didn't. That doesn't mean kids won't use it. Right. This is just.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, the companies, they want to figure out a way for the kids not to use it because they could get fined.
Amy
Also. Good luck getting 50 million bucks from.
Courtney Thorne Smith
A K. No, no, they're finding the company. They're finding the company.
Amy
Every kid now has 50 million bucks. You're never going to get kids off social media, but it is a good. It is a good line to draw to hopefully have parents at least consider when and how much their kids are on and where to. If they're out in public at an Australian Chili's, they probably let their kid be on their social media because they don't want to have a picture taking them at Chili's.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah, I was talking to some teenagers this last weekend about how we don't have. My daughter doesn't have Snapchat. And one of the girls goes, oh, my gosh, that would be so detrimental to my entire life. That's how I make plans with friends. That's how we communicate. It's not just about, like, snapping pics and, you know, but that's how they communicate. And I thought, oh, my gosh, have I been detrimental to my daughter's social life?
Amy
I almost threw my phone through the window because my TikTok was on a terrible algorithm. And I was like, why did this happen? And it just kept feeding me these, and I like to learn, but it was giving me, like, algebra, and I was like, why is it giving me, like, algebra equations? And I couldn't get it. Couldn't get it. Off. And so then I would just span. Get off real quick. Get off real quick. So. And it was doing. It was algebra to trigonometry to. And I was on stem. That part up on the top, that's science.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Technology.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Math, engineering.
Amy
And then I was like, let me go back to. For you. Oh, 90s wrestling.
Eddie
Okay, there it is.
Lunchbox
Back, maybe.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, speaking of throwing your phone out the window or out the window, whatever. Did you see the Jelly Roll through his phone in the water?
Amy
I did not.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah. So he's done with his tour. He finished up beautifully broken. It was 58 sold out arenas for 13 weeks. So he's been very busy. And now it's time for Jelly Roll to relax. And he's like, look, I got an unhealthy relationship with my phone. I love y'all. It's been great, but I'm taking a break, and I'm going phoneless. And by phoneless, he literally meant fullness. And he went and he threw his phone off a bridge into the water.
Amy
We love Junior, and nobody's ever called him that. I called Jelly Roll Junior. And so I'm not saying he did this, but this would be something that I could do where there are artists through the history of time that would take, like, a big bottle and it'd be, like, full of vodka, and they'd.
Ryan Seacrest
Go, go, go, go, go.
Amy
Drink it all down. Like, that's crazy. Turns out it was just water. Right?
Eddie
Right.
Amy
And so they're faking, like, the drinking vodka. I just take it and throw another phone in and be like, I'm done with my phone, but my real phone's still in my pocket. And then I'd be like, I stem TikTok accidentally right after that.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Oh, yeah, true. But I think he really was taking a break. He was actually FaceTiming with his wife at the time. Classic JR and then threw it off the bridge.
Amy
Classic Junior.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Okay, I'm Amy. That's my pile.
Amy
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Okay, so Larry and Kelly Peterson. They first met when they were 10 years old at Spina Bifida camp. When. Yeah, they were kids. They dated in high school, then they broke up, lost touch for 10 years. Well, they reconnected on social media, fell back in love, and they're now married. Well, they were told they wouldn't be able to adopt. She can't have a baby biologically. But then she's like, oh, I was once told I can't Adopt either. But Larry was like, no, no, no, no. We're not giving up on this. So through a special needs adoption agency, they found out about a little girl named Hadley who had spina bifida, and they just adopted her.
Amy
Cute. Can I tell you the best part about this? A spina bifida camp for kids that have. I mean, really? Yeah. That's awesome. That again, you could say, well, that's pretty niche. But, yeah, kids with spina bifida need somewhere to go where people are just like them and are going through the same things and learning and succeeding in the same ways. That's awesome. The whole story is awesome. Yeah.
Courtney Thorne Smith
And they said that they want to share their story to encourage others with spina bifida who are looking to become parents. Don't let your disability, your fears, or other people's opinions hold you back from pursuing this.
Amy
Not the same, but my right eye doesn't work, and I found somebody.
Courtney Thorne Smith
It's not the same, but does her.
Amy
I said not the same. Does her right eye work? That works great.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Definitely not.
Amy
Yeah, so she doubles up. She's like missing eye dog sometimes. Like, I can't see on my right side. She's like, I got you. So there's somebody for everybody is all I'm saying. That's right. That is a great story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

Unknown Host of Fiasco Podcast
In the aftermath of a transformative election like the one we just had, it's hard to read the news without asking yourself every five second, how did we get here? That's exactly what we're always trying to figure out on Fiasco, a history podcast from the co creators of Slow Burn. In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics. The 2000 election, which came down to a recount in Florida and ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history. In many ways, it's the beginning of the story we're living through right now. So if you're trying to make sense of the present moment, check out Fiasco Bush v. Gore and find out how a statistical topic in the Florida vote count put the nation into an unprecedented holding pattern during which American voters waited with bated breath to find out whether Al Gore or George W. Bush would be the next President of the United States. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Amy
Sometimes you get a song in your head and you can't get it out. And for me, for the last four days, because we watched Sing over the holiday with my nephew, it's the Elton John song. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know that one?
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Amy
That's not Standing, which is. By the way, it's a jam. But again, I can't. I can't stop the other one, that. No, no scaffold stuff. I got both in little Coldplay. There's a video on my Instagram. My nephew and I sing it. He doesn't even know words. He knows, like. But he knows that part. But I just can't shake either one of them. What is it? Ah, still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they have something called Earworm Eraser, which can get a song unstuck from your head. Scientists created this sound, which supposedly, whatever it is, that you cannot remove because the worst ever in the history of earworms is Baby Shark.
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Amy
I mean, is there a worse? I think Baby Shark is a one. So it changes tempos, time signatures, music style, so this will not get stuck in your head. Here is. And it's like 20 seconds. The unstuck from your head. Earworm Eraser. Go ahead. I feel like it's gonna give me a stroke, though. Yeah, like, the earworm's gone, but bad things were happening.
Eddie
So what song were you thinking of before that?
Courtney Thorne Smith
I'm over simulated.
Amy
Yeah, no, that was this a lot. Yeah. Now I need a nap. I was thinking of. I'm still staring at singing all the way. Screwed with all of it. But, yeah, that's called the Earworm Eraser. Like, I heard, like, parts of the Simpsons on it. They just combined a bunch of songs. Sounds like it. It constantly changes again. Time signatures, musical styles. What? I'm sure in an hour you'll have a different answer. What song stays in your head the most? The quickest. What comes to mind?
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, I mean, gosh, this year for sure, it's been a bar song. Hearing it all the time, but it's all. It can always be. Someone pull me up a double shot of whiskey.
Amy
Yeah, he played the halftime of the Lions football game. He was good. Didn't know he had other songs. Yeah, like, I figured. I know he did, but I didn't know. Like, I was like, I wonder what is he gonna do his one song, like, over and over again? He was good and he played other songs. He didn't lead with his hit. And I was like, oh, I wonder if this is like a lead into the hit. And it wasn't played a whole song. I was like, that's pretty good song. Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty good. In your head, Eddie.
Eddie
Well, I have a song every. I wake up with a song in my head every, every day. And today was Power of Love.
Amy
Huey Lewis.
Eddie
Huey Lewis. Don't need money Back to the future.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Don'T take fame so every day you wake up to a different song.
Eddie
It's so weird. Every day I have a different song stuck in my head, and in the shower I sing it, and then I. I have to listen on the way to work.
Amy
The Power of Love. That's a jam.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Oh, you know what I'm listening to a lot on my way to work? I listened to this morning is Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers, Islands in the Stream.
Amy
Why? Why that? I don't know.
Courtney Thorne Smith
It's so good.
Amy
I feel you. Because sometimes I just have different seasons of songs I listen to every single morning. For a long time, it was po, folks. I'd listen all the time.
Courtney Thorne Smith
What's that?
Amy
What do you mean?
Courtney Thorne Smith
What's the song?
Amy
Nappy Roots. All my life I've been po. But I really don't matter no more and they wonder why but. Yeah. And I was singing this to my wife, and she was like, okay, stop cosplaying how you used to live. So she would say. I'd be like, no, I feel this. I feel this. That was. But right now it's Praise youe, Fat Boy Slim.
Eddie
I want to praise you like I should.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Oh, I was thinking I just want to praise you.
Amy
No, that's Mary. Mary.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yes.
Amy
Good call. Yeah. Thank you. Good call for me. I like that lunchbox. It's hard for you because you don't really have songs in your head.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but one that does get stuck in your head a lot is, I get knocked down But I get up again Never ever going to keep me down.
Amy
And how often do you hear that that gets stuck in your head?
Lunchbox
Not that often. But I'm just saying when it does.
Amy
Or.
Lunchbox
Or Party in the usa. That's a earworm.
Amy
Catchy one. Yeah. So Anyway, if you need to hear that other song.
Eddie
I'm good. I'm good.
Amy
You good?
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah.
Amy
We can play that enough. Make it number one, though. Since we're on so many stations. We just play that all day. Morgan, what did you see?
J
Okay, so I went to the mall, and I was in the parking lot. I just parked my car, and I'm walking up to the mall, and all of a sudden I just hear boom. And I was, like, turned around. There was this truck that backed right into a car, and I was right there. Okay, so it happened.
Amy
So was anybody in the car?
J
Nobody was in the parked car that he hit, but obviously the guy was in the truck as he was trying to back in.
Amy
So then what happened? What did the truck do?
J
So then he proceeded to try and continue parking into this spot.
Amy
After he hit the car. He just parked right there. He wanted to park right there near him.
J
I don't know if he ended up parking there, because I kept walking. I wasn't really sure what to do. I kind of panicked, and I was like, am I a witness or do I just avoid that? I. So I kept walking, and I don't know if he ended up parking there. I don't know if he left a note. I don't know if he drove off. I have no idea what happened.
Amy
I can't believe you just weren't, like, cure or, like, nosy or a good citizen. Cause there's a bunch of lines here. You can do any of them. I can't believe you just kept walking.
J
I panicked because I was like, I'm.
Amy
About to be involved or something. Yeah, like, you're a witness and the mob's gonna kill you kind of.
J
Because, like, he probably didn't want to, you know, leave a note or anything. And I was like, I don't want to be involved in this.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Wait, why are we assuming you didn't want to leave a note?
Amy
Well, no, we're not assuming anything. We don't know.
J
Oh, I thought she just panicked. I went through every single possibility in my head as this was happening, and I just kept walking.
Amy
Okay, did you come back in the car and the truck was still there?
J
When I came back, the car was there, the truck was gone.
Lunchbox
Truck left, 100% left, drove off, saw you. He acted like he was still backing in. Then when he saw you, the coward, walk away, he's like, I'm outta here. That girl's not gonna sit here and be a witness. I'm gone.
Amy
Well, there are probably other humans around there too.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Yeah, it's not her responsibility.
Amy
Well, I don't know. I could argue that if you see an accident, it is somewhat your civic responsibility to make sure that. Yeah, yeah, I could argue with that. I could.
Courtney Thorne Smith
In a parking lot, a car denting, another backing in a parking lot in the mall.
Amy
Civic responsibility to make sure the person that got their car hit didn't just get screwed and not know.
Eddie
So what would you do? You'd say, hey, you leave a note?
Courtney Thorne Smith
No, that's when you get shot. That's where you die.
Amy
Okay, Both of you guys are worried about dying. That's what it's about. I would have got the license plate of the truck and wrote a note and put it on the car that was hit to say, hey, I saw this car hit your car, and this was a license plate of it, and this is the color and make of the truck. That's what I would have done. But first of all, I'd have hid till the truck got away.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Exactly.
Amy
Good job. See, but that's what I think probably should have. There's no chance that this. If you came back and that truck was gone. I'm not.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Okay, so the car was still there. Did you look on the windshield to see if there was a note?
J
I didn't see any. But I also don't know if this was, like, an employee that came and got their car, and I have no idea.
Amy
They hit and then we're like, oh, crap. And then they drove. Right, guys? Okay, not hit and run. Oh, like parking lot bump and run.
Eddie
Bones, that's a hit and run.
Amy
No, no. Hit and runs. When cars are both, like, going, and you hit and you move. This is like a parking lot fender bender. And then you bump and run. You get away.
Courtney Thorne Smith
It's a bump and run.
Lunchbox
Did you check for damage?
J
No, I'm telling you, I stayed far away.
Amy
She was doing everything she was given. Hoop didn't pollute. She thought she was preventing forest fire. Like, she did everything possible to not be known by the person that was backing in.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, so that brings up another question of what you do. Like, if you are the one that hits a car and you get out and inspect it and you don't see a dent at all.
Amy
I leave it now.
Lunchbox
Oh, there's no one around. I never see a dent.
Eddie
So one time I had golf clubs, they fell on a car, and I left a note, and they called me and they said, we appreciate you leaving a note, but don't worry about it.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Did it ding it?
Eddie
Yeah, it was a scratch on it.
Amy
So Once somebody hit me in a movie parking lot, and I came out big on the back bumper, no car next to me. Note. I read the note, and it was a kid who said, hey, I backed into your car. I know you're not here. My parents didn't raise me to not leave a note. Here's their number if you want to need to call my parents.
Eddie
Nice.
Amy
And I called their parents, and they were like, yeah, he came home and said he hit your car. And I was like, that's what I'm talking about.
Eddie
That's a good kid right there.
Amy
And that kid President Ray, and I hired him, and now here he is. I would think, Morgan, no one's going to kill you. I would think you just. Next time, keep an eye, see if the truck leaves. If it does, try to get the license and leave it. You can even know yourself.
J
I like the license because it's the. Anonymous. I do have this, like, really scary fear because it was just me and this dude driving the truck. And, you know, I just.
Amy
Daylight.
J
It was daylight. But I also had this feeling that hopefully there was cameras because it's a mall parking lot now.
Amy
That also could be a thing.
J
So I was hoping that maybe the car could go for that, but I. Yeah, I just panicked. I. I worried that I was gonna be in a situation where he was gonna get mad at me for trying to do something.
Amy
We didn't have to go stand and point out at the dent, like, you can be three, four layers over. But we learned something from this. Right, everybody? Yes. The proper protocol is watch and see. You don't have to watch right next to it. You keep walking. See if you get the license plate if it drives off. Make a note. License plate, make, model. Although I'm not even sure what that means. Make, model.
Eddie
I think it's like, the brand.
Amy
And I know kind of which one's make. The brand. The brand, sure. Are we.
Lunchbox
Yeah, the brand.
Eddie
No, the brand is the mate.
Amy
You didn't even know for sure. Quick Note. It's almost 2025, and the day one of 2025 is a Wednesday. The second is a Thursday. The third is a Friday. First three letters, 22, 25. WTF. Whoa. 2025. What the.
Eddie
But what does that mean?
Amy
What? Who knows?
Eddie
Do we even know?
Amy
Just letting everybody know.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Wow.
Amy
Everybody is like, look at this. 2025. What the. WTF? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, WTF. There you go. I decided to share that because that means absolutely nothing, doesn't it?
Eddie
Not yet.
Amy
Nothing at all. Not yet. Okay. Lunchbox was Accused of being a porch pirate. What happened?
Lunchbox
So it was over the Thanksgiving holiday, and one of our neighbors that we are friends with, they live a couple blocks over. We knew they were out of town. I was out walking the dog, and I look and I see a package on their front porch. I'm like, well, they're gonna be gone for a few days, so let me just go grab it. So I walk up, get it, and walk on with the dog, and I get maybe a house two houses away when I hear, hey, hey, hey, I saw you take that package.
Amy
Oh, no.
Lunchbox
And I'm like, what?
Amy
Do you not know these people?
Lunchbox
I don't know the guy. And he's like, I know you don't live there, and I saw you take that package, go put it back. And I'm like, no, no, no. Like, we're friends. Our kids are friends with their kids, and they're out of town. He goes, you're not the homeowner. I saw you take that package. Do I need to call the police?
Amy
When did you start to get mad back?
Lunchbox
And then I'm like, no, no, no, no, we can call them. I know you.
Amy
Oh, I love it. Challenge them. Call the police.
Eddie
No, not the police.
Amy
No, no.
Lunchbox
I said, we can.
Amy
I thought you were going to call the police.
Lunchbox
I said, here, we'll call the homeowner. They'll tell you they're out of town, man. And then I know them. He's like, call them.
Amy
It sounds like an elf when you see Santa. I know him.
Eddie
Best part.
Amy
So did they believe you?
Lunchbox
They're like, okay, call them. And they got on. We got on the phone with the homeowner.
Eddie
So embarrassing.
Lunchbox
And they backed up my story. And the guy was like, okay, I just saw it. And I know that people steal packages, and I didn't want you to get. Be a victim.
Courtney Thorne Smith
Well, yeah, you gotta appreciate that.
Amy
I was gonna ask you, what are your thoughts on that? After the whole situation went down?
Lunchbox
Man, it was pretty cool. I mean, I thought I was. I thought I was doing something nice, you know? See, here's the thing. I try to do something nice, and this is what happens.
Amy
You get met with.
Lunchbox
You get met with, hey, you're a robber, you're a stealer, you're a porch pirate, whatever you call it. And I'm like, man, I'm just trying to help out the community. This is why I don't do a lot of nice things.
Courtney Thorne Smith
I mean, if he shows up with, like, his hoodie and his way he's.
Amy
Normally dressed, it makes Sense. That's why he doesn't do nice things.
Eddie
That's it.
Amy
He's often penalized by doing them. And so was the neighbor embarrassed when it was all said?
Lunchbox
No. He was like, all right, all right. I just, you know, I'm just looking out for my neighbors.
Amy
I don't hate that either. I feel like this is just a bit unfortunate. Although I know how I am. And as soon as I'd been like, call the cops. I'd be like, yes, please do call them. Please do. I'll sit right here. And I would have sat down in the middle of the road and just been like, please, I will wait. Please call the cops.
Courtney Thorne Smith
You would do that?
Amy
Oh, for sure.
Eddie
Why not?
Amy
Yeah. Be hilarious. And I start recording it.
Eddie
Put on TikTok because you're not in the wrong.
Amy
Yeah, call the cops. I'm right here. I'm still standing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you weren't stealing.
Lunchbox
I wasn't stealing. I was doing the friendly thing of not really.
Amy
You really weren't stealing?
Lunchbox
No, no. I really knew the neighbor and I really called the neighbor and I really gave them their package when they got back into town. I even delivered it to their house.
Amy
Dang. Basically Santa Claus. But that's why you don't do charity stuff. For the most part. That's right. Mostly my voicemails from last night. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Hey, Bobby. I love you, brother. My grandson's saying you don't exist.
Amy
He's accusing being AI, which, hey, you. And I know you're not. You're the best, Bobby. All right, you stay in there. Don't worry what people say, because I love you and the veterans love you. Go out bus shops. See you, Bobby. I am not AI would probably I'm not AI. But I appreciate that. And if that's the biggest insult I'm getting right now, I love it.
Eddie
That's not bad.
Amy
Next up, this is Brianne from California regarding your gift exchange. Please, I'm begging you, make the rule be that you have to spend the whole amount of the gift card on the person. This always gets so cringy, especially with Lunchbox. It's not going to be fun to listen to if somebody get it's 1000 and they don't actually spend it on the postage. So please, please, please make that just a hard rule and we can enjoy this exchange this year. Yeah. Coming up in a few weeks, our annual gift exchange in Macy's has been so awesome about it, they're going to sponsor it. But what's going to happen is we won't know the amount on the gift card. We draw a gift card, one of the gift cards will have 10 bucks on it for you to buy a gift for your person that you drew. One will have a thousand. So someone's only going to have $10 spent on them and someone's gonna have a thousand dollar gift card.
Eddie
That's awesome.
Amy
We haven't totally formulated the roll rules yet, but we will. Next few days or so, we'll figure it out.
Lunchbox
I need that thousand. I need it.
Amy
But if you get it. No, no, I'm saying we know you won't spend all of it.
Lunchbox
I need to spend on me, man.
Courtney Thorne Smith
But you're not gonna get to request what you get, right? I mean, what if Bobby goes? I mean, Macy's, there's so many things. What if he gets you, like, awesome new set of dishes or stuff for your wife?
Amy
Well, I start with the letter I. Oh, it does? Yeah. We responded.
Courtney Thorne Smith
I forgot about that part.
Amy
James in Virginia, go ahead. Morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. I never ask anybody to do anything for me because why bother? But I do have a ask from you, Bobby, to send me your first Christmas card. I'm an avid listener. I love the Five Bones family. That'd be so awesome. It's sequel. I frame it. Bobby Bones first Christmas card. Anyway, God bless y'all. Happy holidays, everybody. Bye. Appreciate that, James, always like when you call. I don't have any Christmas cards yet. I'm not a Christmas card guy yet. But when I get one, I'm gonna send one to James. Nice. All right, thank you. You can always leave us a voicemail if we can't get through. 87777. Bobby.

Unknown Host of Fiasco Podcast
In the aftermath of a transformative election like the one we just had, it's hard to read the news without asking yourself every five second, how did we get here? That's exactly what we're always trying to figure out on Fiasco, a history podcast from the co creators of Slow Burn. In our first season, Bush v. Gore, we examine an unmistakable turning point in American politics. The 2000 election, which came down to a recount in Florida and ended with one of the most controversial rulings in Supreme Court history. In many ways, it's the beginning of the story we're living through right now. So if you're trying to make sense of the present moment, check out Fiasco, Bush v. Gore and find out how a statistical tie in the Florida vote count put the nation into an unprecedented holding pattern during which American voters waited with bated breath to find out whether Al Gore or George W. Bush would be the next President of the United States. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

All of them.
Amy
Oh, my God. Okay, got them.
Laura Layton
All of them.
Amy
That was the morning Cory.
Courtney Thorne Smith
They're all planted in the ground. Yeah, it's sort of like a riddle.
Amy
Maybe not the fake one, but I'm there. I'm with you. Hey, Ray, can I ask you a question? Yo, Ray Mundo is our head audio engineer. Sits in the room, pushes all the buttons. Ray Mundo had a fascination with Sam Hunt. Like, loves Sam Hunt. Sam Hunt was sent him Christmas gifts. But we hear you've changed and you're not Sam number one anymore. Is that true?
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Amy
I mean, Sam slowed down on the music production, but you loved him. Like, he's a person. Like, you were, like, trying to be friends with his brother just to get close to him, right? No, I'm down with Sam. Like, he's always been my boy. It's just he changed up how he dressed a little bit. He didn't really tend to go to more to the trendy stuff anymore. Now he's more of a hunter type. And he's in the woods a lot. He's not on the social medias a lot. So you're out. I'm not out, Soldier Sandstone. No, no, no, no. I'm. If Sam came in right now, I'd fall on the ground. But I'm saying he's. We've all changed. We've all gotten older. So, yeah, I mean, yeah, I would be open to. There's other music I listen to. He's not the only guy I listen to. I hear you. I hear you. But I've heard that it's not Sam anymore. It's now fully Morgan Wallen. No, not fully, but I dip into Wallen's music. But not music like you have, like. Oh, no, no. I love Wallen's music, but I don't have any of his gear. I don't wear clothes.
Eddie
Like, nobody's been thinking about buying his clothes.
Amy
I've had ads that have popped up on my email. Okay.
Eddie
Just making sure.
Amy
Race, selling out. Sam Hunt out. Morgan Wallen in after all. Remember, first it was Kip Moore.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
With Sam Hunt.
Eddie
Oh, dang.
Amy
Now it's Morgan Wallen. We're here for you. We just. Let's just be open. Let's share our feelings. Yeah. I mean, I've looked at chains before and Wallen loves the Vols. That's the thing. Sam's like a Georgia guy. I'm Vols too. Just like Wallen Mullet. Me and him are both the same there. Do you look and see what he wears? And you want to wear clothes like him now? I've never did the mullet or anything like that. No, he doesn't have the mullet anymore, though. He doesn't. Yeah. He's got great stuff. Hoodies. He's. He's into that. Me too.
Eddie
The vests.
Amy
Vests. I could do that in the winter time. Especially now, this colder out. Anyway, I just. There's a little. This little note. Sam. Sam Hunt was raised guy. He still is.
Lunchbox
A big deal.

Summary of "Weds Part 1: Someone On The Show Was Almost Arrested" – The Bobby Bones Show (Released December 4, 2024)
In this episode of The Bobby Bones Show, listeners are treated to a blend of heartfelt stories, engaging discussions, and humorous exchanges among the hosts. Skipping the promotional segments, the core content revolves around unique listener stories, insightful debates on contemporary issues, and lighthearted banter. Below is a detailed overview of the key topics covered:
[02:39 – 05:50]
The discussion kicks off with a compelling proposal from Barbara White at the Nebraska Board of Regents, who suggested that passionate college football fans could have their cremated remains scattered at their beloved stadiums. This idea sparks a lively debate among the hosts:
Amy champions the concept, emphasizing its sentimental value:
“Passionate fans pay money to have their cremated remains stored or spread at the stadium. I'm all for it. It's ashes.”
[03:03]
Eddie and Courtney Thorne Smith weigh in on the practicalities, exploring options like designated columbarium-like rooms within stadiums and ensuring that the memorials remain tasteful and unobtrusive.
Lunchbox humorously considers the logistics:
“So you're not talking down on the field.”
[04:37]
The conversation underscores the balance between honoring fan legacies and maintaining the stadium’s primary function as a sports venue.
[07:00 – 11:06]
Amy shares a heartfelt voicemail from a listener who lost an 85-inch television during a chaotic Thanksgiving gathering at his sister’s home. The sibling dispute arises when the listener’s sister claims insurance should cover the damage, leaving him uncertain about his next steps.
Amy offers empathetic advice:
“I think you can extend this and fight with her and be a fight within the family. I think it's a loss, man.”
[10:29]
Courtney provides practical insights regarding insurance coverage for electronics:
“Most everything I'm seeing here is it does cover electronics if they're stolen or broken. So it could be worth looking into.”
[10:37]
The hosts discuss navigating familial responsibilities and the importance of communication in resolving such disputes.
[12:04 – 17:22]
The conversation shifts to holiday gift ideas, debating the merits of practical gifts like clothing and shoes versus popular toys and electronics.
Courtney highlights the practicality:
“When it comes to top gifts for kids this holiday season, you think it would be games, something like that? Video stuff? No, it's clothing, shoes and accessories.”
[12:24]
Amy proposes a nuanced view, recognizing the evolving preferences of children:
“I think kids, once they get to be about, I would say it's young and younger, 10 or 11. Like toys aren't really as much of a thing as electronics.”
