[Amy]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, everybody? Welcome to Wednesday Show Morning Studio.

[Eddie]

Morning Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is about that Taylor Swift terrorist attack at a concert. They ended up canceling the concerts. You remember this, Amy? Okay, so it was in another country. It was in Austria. They finally have identified the person a 21 year old man has been charged with terrorism offenses for planning to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna, August of 2024. The suspect is accused of being a member of a terrorist organization, made explosives, tried to illegally purchase weapons. Three sold out shows by Taylor had to be canceled because they discovered the plot. Over 200, 000 fans were attending. But this guy was gonna go and blow it all up.

[Amy]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

He had received online instructions to make a shrapnel bomb to get it into the concert. And then she came out, she was like, I gotta cancel these shows because we got told there may be terrorist activity at the show. That's from CBS News. How about that?

[Amy]

That's so crazy.

[Morgan]

It was all one, one guy, 21 year old.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh yes. One guy was going to do it, but there were others helping him do it. But one guy was going in with the bomb.

[Morgan]

Gotcha.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was trying to buy other weapons. That guy sucks.

[Amy]

I mean, it just makes me think about all the different times now. This one we know about, but different plots against certain things that get intercepted and we never even know about that almost happened.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they probably intercept a lot of them and go. We feel confident this has been so intercepted. Let the show continue. Yeah, this one they probably felt like they didn't have a great handle on it. So we have to cancel the shows because we probably have it, but we're not sure.

[Morgan]

What a scary decision to make, you know, like I think we're good to go and then you're not.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, wouldn't you think with any, any mass gathering of people, somebody's trying to do something bad at every single mass gathering.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's why I don't want to go to a lot of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I just don't want to be around people regardless of like terror. I don't care about it. I do care about it, but mostly I just like, I don't want to be around other people for the most part. But yeah, that was a crazy, crazy story. And I just saw how that kind of ended. So an Amazon driver was forced to ditch their van after following GPS instructions that drove them straight into the water.

[Eddie]

That's so dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

The driver drove straight into rising water Sunday as they tried to navigate a six mile walking path where at least 100 people have previously drowned by trying to cross. The driver was trying to get to an island, like a small island to deliver the packages and the GPS to go this way. He went that way. And then you see the van.

[Amy]

Okay, I'm sorry. If a hundred people have previously, he.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn'T know that it wasn't.

[Amy]

He didn't know. But why don't we have like barricades up or something?

[Eddie]

If this is an issue, they probably just wash away.

[Bobby Bones]

Coast Guard officials warn drivers shouldn't try to access the 600 year old path. The unidentified driver was forced to ditch their van. New York Post. What if. I'm going to play little devil's advocate here because I've done this in a similar way where I'm doing it on my phone and I think I push car, but I push walk. I put the human.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it says, oh, you want to get over there? Human on foot, go this way. And he looked at those driving the van, all of a sudden. I agree. It reminds me of this episode of the Office where Michael Scott and Dwight drive in the lake. You guys seen that? I think my office references are getting old.

[Eddie]

I don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

I do. I'm starting to hit that time where sad time. I know they were fun for like 10 years, but I don't think people watch the Office at the same level they did even five to seven years ago. I think I'm gonna have to retire some of them. I made one to Amy the other day and I was like, I don't even know if Amy gets office reference.

[Amy]

But yes, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It's one of those time marches. What do I gotta do? New version of Gilmore Girls?

[Morgan]

I remember when I had to cut my Three's Company jokes. Man. References just weren't hitting.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, dude. I'll take him Mr. Furley any day. The next leader of North Korea could be a 13 year old girl. What if I were a 13 year old running a country? I don't even care the country. I'd be the worst. I would be, though. If you're 13, it would be.

[Amy]

But how is this even possible?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean? It's Kim Jong. You can do whatever.

[Amy]

Oh, that's how. Okay. I didn't realize.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. South Korea spy agency has told lawmakers it believes the teenage daughter of Kim Jong Un, the North Korean dictator, that the daughter's close to being designated as the country's future leader. Okay. And 13 now. Oh, man, that'd be tough. That'd be tough and awesome for 13. Oh, yeah, for her. Yeah. It'd be tough for everybody else.

[Morgan]

Imagine if you worked like every day with her. Like you're.

[Bobby Bones]

You're her assistant and you're 51.

[Morgan]

Oh my gosh.

[Eddie]

That would be terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

You're listening to a little pubescent dictator tell you. Oh, that's from the Guardian. Fruity coffee is the thing. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I'm not a coffee guy, but I do like fruit and pretty much everything. Fruity coffee. They're putting fruits or fruit syrups into coffee. Thoughts? Is that not a thing though? Because they're acting like this is a newish thing.

[Amy]

I have never put fruit in my coffee, but I'm trying to think like maybe a little blueberry syrup or something might be okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Or they're dumping blueberries or bananas and they're calling it a banana latte.

[Amy]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like coffee tastes so bad to me that I would like it better cuz I would just eat the banana and pour out the coffee.

[Amy]

Oh, the banana is going to be infused, blended in.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh no, I feel like they. Oh, I thought they just stuck a whole banana in the cup.

[Amy]

That would be really.

[Morgan]

They would have to make like a banana coffee. You know, like a mix.

[Amy]

Like a, like banana puree.

[Bobby Bones]

Not so bad then.

[Amy]

Or like banana syrup. Oh, banana flavored syrup, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's from Real Simple. And then finally, also not a peanut butter guy. Hey, peanut butter. But peanut butter products have been recalled in 40 states because of a foreign material.

[Morgan]

Oh great.

[Amy]

Well, which kind. Shoot.

[Bobby Bones]

Thousands of peanut butter items. Well, the problem is a lot of them are made at the exact same place. They just have a different brand on. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's.

[Amy]

But they. I need all the brands because I think I have three different brands.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there's 91 brands.

[Eddie]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Write it down. Here we go. Now, thousands of peanut butter items have been recalled from 40 states. From the FDA, Ventura Foods LLC found pieces of blue plastic. The recall was initiated last April, but they have upgraded it to Class 2 this month. That means the use of or exposure to affected products may cause temporarily or medically reversible adverse health consequences. And then it says it could be serious from Kyro 7. Is that a thing though too? Maybe. It's so small, but if you open your peanut butter and there's a, you know, big blue he man action figure poking out. Maybe just a look before you eat it.

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know. I feel like it could be ground up and you don't know that it's in there then.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it ever in there?

[Morgan]

Yeah, because what else is grounded up in. In your.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, I mean there's insects in your ground up nut butter and we've.

[Morgan]

Talked about, like, you know, the. Say, like somebody dropped the plastic in there. Right. Like, how many times does somebody drop something in there and be like, nobody saw that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I don't want to tell.

[Bobby Bones]

Or like somebody's last day on the job and they pee in the T. Oh, I know.

[Amy]

We'll never know. Never, never know.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe this little blue things is the least of Arkansas. You ever hear the story about the person at a. I'll just say a taco place and his last day at work he peed and pooped in the canister?

[Amy]

What canister?

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

Is this somebody we know?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, not at all. It's just an urban legend that went around when I was like in eighth grade and I didn't know if.

[Morgan]

No, that's messed up, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know if it ever got to where you guys were in Texas.

[Morgan]

Well, probably local.

[Bobby Bones]

Think it was a local Arkansas.

[Eddie]

Keep that local.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. News. It's the anonymous inbox. There's a question to be. Hello, Bobby Bones. What is an opinion that you have that probably everybody else disagrees with, but you stand by it? Sign. Longtime listener. I have a few of these. Number one, Home Alone is not a Christmas movie. This is probably my most famous because I think, although Christmas is a very big part of Home Alone, I think you can make that July 4th as well. So that thing has been beat over the head a million times. Other things. Most political opinions that people have aren't researched, they're inherited. I think that. I think pretty much what you believe is what the people believe around you and what your parents taught you to believe. And that any research you're doing is just research you're doing to further prove your opinion is right. So I believe that. I think a lot of people would get on me for that because most people want to feel like they're actually researching with a. A non biased intention. I do not think that's true.

[Amy]

I got it. I was thinking a lot of people would agree with you on that, but I guess I see your point.

[Bobby Bones]

Most people don't want equality.

[Amy]

Don't want what?

[Bobby Bones]

Equality. They want advantage. Yeah, yeah, most people. I'm all for equality. No, you just want advantage for yourself. I feel like that's true. I don't think people would say that, but I feel like people feel that. I don't think social media is ruining us. I love my phone. I think social media is revealing us.

[Morgan]

Yeah, a lot of people disagree with that one.

[Eddie]

Yeah, a lot of people.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's Ruining us. I think what's going on ruining us as people revealing themselves as being real a holes and people that don't have a voice that are like, since I don't have a voice, I'm going to make my voice heard, but I'm going to make it hurt as loud as possible with the most hate filled thing I could possibly say. Because that's the only thing that gets attention or engagement is people being polarized, having polarizing thoughts. That's another one. I have like eight. Do you want to hear the rest? Yeah. Success does not fix insecurity. I'm the most insecure person in the whole world. I have not been fixed by my success. I think it just upgrades it a bit. I think most people don't want truth. This goes back to my political thing. They just want validation. People aren't searching for truth. People are searching to prove that they're right. It's really hard to admit you're wrong, especially when you've attached yourself to something for so long. I. E. Let's talk politics. I think the American dream is for sure real. But it is not as easy and real as media portrays it. And media portrays it to be pretty hard. But it's brutal. You do have a shot. But it's brutal. You don't have a good shot. And the shots getting less and less every single year. Then that's it.

[Amy]

Think I had like eight more.

[Bobby Bones]

That was like eight total. Let me count how many I wrote down. Hold on. That was okay. That was seven. Yeah. So that's what I would say. I think most people actually would agree if they thought about those two. But when I say stuff.

[Amy]

Except for the Home alone one, that's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

People never agree on that one.

[Morgan]

I feel like you say that one just to make it mad.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I just think you can take that and put it July 4th and it works the exact same way. The families for a July 4th trip. Oh, Kevin. And then all of a sudden, like, where's Kevin? And then all of a sudden Kevin is.

[Amy]

But you wouldn't have the thieves breaking in to get all the gifts.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you would. They're gone on July 4th. It's summer vacation.

[Amy]

Yep. There's no gifts.

[Eddie]

And then he can't use ornaments, but.

[Bobby Bones]

You just break into steel.

[Amy]

And then he can't go to the church.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a rich house and slip on the ice church. Why don't you just go down to the city hall? It's America.

[Amy]

The music is a big part of the movie.

[Bobby Bones]

And you don't think there's patriotic music to play in there. I'm just saying it could work.

[Amy]

I just don't think it works as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because you hadn't written it. That's my, that's my thought.

[Morgan]

Hey, that was harsh.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the one you guys go to. Yeah.

[Amy]

Because the other ones, like, I can kind of. Yeah. I think there's a time maybe me, 20 years ago would have disagreed with you on some of those.

[Bobby Bones]

But the ones that really. The one that really irritates people is that most political opinions are inherited because people feel like, no, I feel this way because I really feel it. No, no, no, no, no. Regardless of where you are, most, most things political or religious, you got from the people around you. And if you lived in Saskatchewan or you lived in Mumbai or you, You. It would just been different.

[Morgan]

Like you.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's what's up. That's how I feel about it.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think that's true. My sister and I were just talking about how, you know, we grew up predominantly. I grew up very conservative and still in a lot of ways, I am conservative and grew up told how to vote. Not from our parents really, but like at church services and just everybody that surrounded us. Like, I associated Christian with Republican point blank. And when I went to college and I was at Texas A and M and I met Christians that said they voted Democrat, my mind couldn't believe it. I. I really struggled because that was my bubble. Like, I just couldn't. I was like, oh my gosh, who's going to tell them they're not really a Christian? Like, instead of being like, oh, I just have having understanding that a political party shouldn't be tied to your faith.

[Bobby Bones]

A wise man once said, never trust a politician that tells you how to vote or a preacher that tells you how to. Wait, hold on, I gotta remember this. Obviously, I don't have it right down. Never trust a politician that tells you how to pray and a preacher that tells you how to vote.

[Amy]

Right. Although I did. I did love a lot of people at my church, for sure. I just think that it. Sometimes we weren't in the right, weren't in the right lanes. And I think they had a good heart and they meant well. But looking back, I just am like, oh, yeah. I was conditioned to believe a lot of things. So much so that when I got into my own world, the real world, and I met more people, I couldn't even fathom that they were Christians voting a certain way. And so I just thought that that's that was just funny to me because.

[Bobby Bones]

I screwed that up. I'm gonna say it one more time. Never trust a politician that tells you how to pray or a preacher that tells you how to vote. I didn't make that up. That's pretty good though, right?

[Morgan]

It's really good.

[Amy]

No, it is good.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. Those would be my most popular thoughts that most people disagree with, but I feel like they only disagree with them because they're not thinking about them. If you think about them, that's. I'm not. I didn't discover a new star or anything. I just. I think. Of course I think them, so I think they're right. But yeah, you get it all right. There you go. Close it up.

[State Farm Announcer]

Living on a prayer. Yeah, that song gets everyone singing. And now singing it could send you on a flyaway trip for two to see Bon Jovi live this summer.

Eddie, she's getting engaged.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

She's gotten engaged.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Morgan, I feel like it's not either one of those. And it's something personal to do with you and your house.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, house.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Yeah, house. She's moving in her dude's house.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so she's moving out of her house.

[Eddie]

Yes. Into his house.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, read drumroll, please, ladies and gentlemen. Now time for Amy's big news.

[Amy]

I feel like, in a way, it's news that impacts all of us.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you guys like to change your guesses? Yes.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Morgan]

Okay, Eddie, Amy's pregnant. That'll impact all of us.

[Eddie]

All of us.

[Bobby Bones]

Claire Danes got pregnant at 44, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, something like that. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Cassie, Kelly, Charles Kelly's wife, got pregnant.

[Morgan]

In her 40s, so it happens.

[Bobby Bones]

And her Instagram, she was like, I didn't know I could get pregnant. She got pregnant. Okay. Lunchbox.

[Eddie]

Any guys, it's gonna affect all of us. Yeah, she's moving in with her dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, how would that be?

[Eddie]

I mean, that's a lot more stories. It's a lot, you know, emotional stuff. Drama.

[Amy]

Morgan, I feel like she has a new job. Like, there's something that's gonna take Amy's time away from the show. She's not leaving. But she has a new job.

[Eddie]

She doesn't have a new job.

[Bobby Bones]

She could. She's kind of been killing it.

[Eddie]

Amy.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And now. Okay, well, Amy's news.

[Amy]

I will say it does have to do with hormones.

[Morgan]

Oh, oh, like when you're pregnant.

[Bobby Bones]

You got another guess? Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Morgan]

Oh, when you're pregnant, your hormones, they're like.

[Eddie]

I know what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie]

It's official menopause. It's no more pre menopause.

[Bobby Bones]

Pre what?

[Eddie]

Pre. Menopause.

[Bobby Bones]

Menopause. And it's not manopause.

[Eddie]

She's in full blown menopause.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Like officially, clinically diagnosed full blown.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And now Amy's announcement.

[Amy]

Okay, so I will say I am in perimenopause. Very much so. And I have officially made an appointment for hormone replacement therapy. So I'm gonna get all my blood work done. I'm seeing a doctor. I completely changed doctors from someone that I've been going to. This first thing, complete ignorance.

[Bobby Bones]

Before you keep going.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for all of us. I know that was an announcement, and I know to you there is significance. We don't know what that. Yes, yes. But I'm just saying we don't know what that means.

[Morgan]

Explain it.

[Amy]

Okay. So I watched the documentary Balance A Perimenopause Journey.

[Bobby Bones]

Who didn't, by the way? Right, guys. Who didn't watch that one.

[Amy]

It made me realize, like, I need to take this more seriously. I have had blood work done before, but you need to stay on top of it. This was a few years ago, and if y' all recall, I got on some testosterone and. And even then, I wasn't really keeping up with it as I should. And then I decided just myself, to get off of it. And I should have really consulted with a doctor. And so anyway, I haven't had blood work done in a few years now, so it is time. I'm going to a hormone specialist. She's a doctor. I thought she would be more difficult to get into, but I just decided to make the call. Even if it was a three month wait. I just.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait question. Yeah, you've been to a lot of weird doctors that weren't even real doctors.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So it's just one of those. No, like, you would go. And they'd be.

[Amy]

They'd be like, no, she's an. Oh, she's a gynecologist.

[Bobby Bones]

They'd pull a hair from your hand and be like, oh, You're a little nutrients.

[Amy]

So this sort of happened, too, because Morgan was like, hey, I need a new doctor. Like, and I realized I wouldn't like what I say to you. Morgan. Yeah. You said you didn't like yours. You're like, I'm not recommending this person. I was like, you should ask somebody else. And then I was thinking, why would I continue to go someone that. That I don't really like that much, like, if I'm not even a recommender to a friend? So I decided two things here. I'm getting a new gynecologist. And double win for me. She also will do the hormone replacement therapy.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm raising my hand again. Okay, we're still kind of lost, right? To the general listener, we do not know.

[Amy]

Okay, sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

To the general male listener, we do not know what this could impact in your life or what they're going to extract from your body.

[Amy]

So, blood.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

They're going to draw blood, and then they're going to test my. What are my progesterone levels? What are my estrogen levels? What are my testosterone levels? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Then what do they do to make that different? And how will you.

[Amy]

They're going to give me a hormone replacement. Like, say if I have no estrogen, they're going to give me some estrogen.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you grow a mustache?

[Amy]

Oh, cool. I did the testosterone, and I never grew extra hair, so I'll shave your face.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you grow a wiener?

[Amy]

I mean, I shave my face for the peach fuzz, but, I mean, I do have different hairs that'll pop up, like, on my chin.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a goatee?

[Amy]

No, like, just a little hair, and I have to, like, pluck it. But that's every woman I know at some point in her life. I think that it'll impact y' all because it's going to help my mood. My.

[Bobby Bones]

I think your mood's been great, by the way.

[Amy]

Well, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't.

[Amy]

You don't see me all the time or internally. Like, what's really happening. Like, my. My joy, my passions, my desires, like, things I'm not into.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's keep the passions off. Maybe for podcast part two.

[Amy]

I'm passionate about lots of things.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, fair enough.

[Amy]

Yeah, fair enough.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if it was, like, the pool boy, you know, that type.

[Amy]

Thing, it covers it all. But you don't like your sleep, your energy levels, like, everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Question.

[Amy]

I just feel like I'm on the verge of some change. Like, it's gonna feel good. Like I'm Gonna feel awesome. And I'm putting a lot of hope in this basket for sure. But I feel like once I get my levels right, it'll be like, new me.

[Bobby Bones]

Hand up, hand up. Can I do this?

[Amy]

Yes. Men should do it, too.

[Morgan]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Even though we're not doing perimenopause.

[Amy]

Well, you could have.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. We have pre menopause, though, which you didn't hear. We have pre menopause.

[Amy]

Maybe that's what it is. Perimenopause.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so when does this happen? And when can we expect the results?

[Amy]

Oh, my appointment is in eight days.

[Eddie]

And then the hormones go in.

[Bobby Bones]

When?

[Amy]

I don't know. I guess I gotta do the blood work, and then I'll get the results. I'm just proud of myself. This is the kind of appointments I love to put off. They're the appointments I love to talk about and think about and, you know, want to be that person one day. And now I'm actually going, and. And I've made a commitment to myself that I'm going to stay consistent with it. That's why I wanted to find a new doctor, because obviously, for me, I go in for my yearly checkups. But maybe she'll say, hey, we need to do blood work. Yeah, once a year or once every six months. I don't know. I've just never been consistent with it. So this is my pledge.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it is a great example of being proactive about something that would be easy to put off.

[Amy]

Yes. And now we have the knowledge and awareness. Like some women, you know, even just a decade ago, they might have been walking through their 40s just thinking like, oh, well, life sucks. I guess it's just the way it is. And had they known like, oh, this is perimenopause, and I can go do something about it and be a little more proactive. They could change the trajectory of how they feel. It could save their marriage, save their relationships.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you projecting?

[Amy]

Am I projecting what?

[Morgan]

This could have saved your marriage.

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

That's crazy. That's what I thought.

[Morgan]

Oh, man, we're so late on this.

[Eddie]

We just missed it.

[Amy]

For me, it's too late. But for other people, maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so here's something I'd like to run by you. I think that's great, by the way, because I think it's a great example. Even though we didn't understand, there are a lot of women out there that do understand. And we asked really stupid questions, but they weren't meant as stupid questions. So forgive anything that we said.

[Amy]

I Don't feel like y' all are asking stupid questions. I don't. I'm the one experiencing it. And I still don't even really understand what's going on.

[Bobby Bones]

Never. Good. Then when you go into the doctor and they're putting stuff in you, if you don't know what they're putting in.

[Amy]

You, well, I know it'll be a hormone. My body already has made that. It no longer is making.

[Bobby Bones]

There is a place and I'm going to have my crack research team look this up as I talk. And I just saw it on TikTok. There's a place in northwest Arkansas. Obviously, I'm super partial to northwest Arkansas, and they have one of those full body scan things, like, for cancer, for. I don't.

[Morgan]

All that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you go in and I just saw it and I swear I want to swipe out of it, but I just saw it. And you go in and you do the whole thing where they go all the way down your body. It is called no commercial, no free ads. Because I don't even know if it's good. It's called Verilux in Rogers, Arkansas. And you go in and they do a full comprehensive whole body MRI scan. Question. If you do that, don't you figure, like, you're probably gonna die? Or am I the only one that thinks that?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Why would you go?

[Morgan]

No, no, I think it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it is good. It is for sure good. But I know if I go in, they're gonna find something and tell me I'm. So if I don't go, I'm not gonna die, Right? So, okay, this is the problem I have with making a will.

[Amy]

So something similar to that. Like, they're not. I just googled and they provide similar, but not directly the same type of service, but I do endorsements for something here called craft body scan. And I go in and I have the scans and that's how I know I have a kidney stone. They told me in my. That I have it and I'm like, waiting for the day and maybe it'll just chill there and not do anything. But I had to go in and be prepared. I know that I have a cyst on one of my ovaries as well.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to find a cyst on my ovary.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you don't want that.

[Amy]

It's just good for me to have the information. Like, I'd rather know if I get the information.

[Bobby Bones]

They even have an ovary. I'm going to be mad that's trouble.

[Amy]

That would be bad if you had an ovary. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I mean, I guess that I.

[Bobby Bones]

Need to go to this place because I'm just saying that because I'm not going to go to Atlanta. I'm not going to go to somewhere that has this. This is. We live in northwest Arkansas a little bit, so. Vera Lux, you know. How much does yours cost?

[Amy]

I mean, I have the prices for my commercials. Like, I know the deals, but I mean, as an endorser, I got my scans comped, but, like, it can range anywhere from.

[Morgan]

That's nice.

[Amy]

That's how it works, guys. You go experience it, see if you liked it, and then you agree to the endorsement. So I did, and I thoroughly liked it. So they have packages anywhere from like 200 to $2,000. It depends on what you get scanned.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I want to do a free one because then they won't find stuff. They'll be like, oh, he's our guy. We need to make sure he's healthy. No, I want to go. I want to go in my fake name, Herb Tarik.

[Morgan]

Well, now you told everyone.

[Amy]

Oh, I think they would want me to find something so then I could be proactive.

[Bobby Bones]

I want you to find death for your commercial. Hi, everybody. Amy here. And you know what? I went in. They told me, I'm dying in a week.

[Amy]

No, they told me, oh, wow. Early detection. This is now going to save your life.

[Eddie]

They say early detection is key.

[Amy]

It is.

[Bobby Bones]

What if they find it mid detection and it's on the backside of mid.

[Amy]

Hey, all the more reason for somebody else to go ahead and get a scan.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, okay. I like to do this. What yours called Craft.

[Amy]

Craft.

[Bobby Bones]

I see this one, too.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you should do it like Amy, though. Get it comped.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the same.

[Morgan]

No, because.

[Amy]

Nope, nope. Here's what's going to happen. Bobby's going to do it, and they're going to be like, oh, we'd rather hire Bobby to do our endorsements. And I'll be like, great, thanks. Nice working with you.

[Eddie]

So you said he can't go to your location.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Amy]

I'm just kidding.

[Morgan]

You should go.

[Amy]

They have.

[Bobby Bones]

They're the same type of. Same type of thing.

[Amy]

Before Valentine's Day, they ran a couple's heart and lungs.

[Bobby Bones]

How does that help me? You want to go time machines, get your divorce fixed and I go pre Valentine's Day? You're not giving me any help here.

[Morgan]

They just scan the heart on Valentine's Day.

[Amy]

Heart and Lungs.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, that's.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

They scan your heart. You're not in love.

[Morgan]

What? You're heartbroken.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

No, but some people, if they have heart disease that, like, runs in their.

[Bobby Bones]

Family or all this, we're. We're telling jokes in a way to make something serious. Something you'd want to hear us talk about.

[Amy]

I would want to know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And by the way, I've never been paid by any of this. Okay. Good luck. We can't wait to get all your horse changed.

[Amy]

My what?

[Bobby Bones]

Short for hormones.

[Morgan]

I was like, what did you just say?

[Bobby Bones]

It's just a short word for hormones. Guys. Give it the lingo.

[Eddie]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay.

[Eddie]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie met a waitress.

[Morgan]

Bartender.

[Amy]

Sounds weird.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. No, I was at a bar.

[Morgan]

I was sitting at the bar.

[Bobby Bones]

He said, it does at first, which is why I said it like that. But it's really kind of cool. What's the story?

[Morgan]

Yeah, so I'm sitting at the bar, you know, and she's serving the bar, by the way.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good point. I mean, he's got four kids. What's the dad doing sending a bar by himself?

[Morgan]

Yeah, they were having parties at school, so a co worker was like, dude, it's right after work. And I'm like, yeah, man, I'll go.

[Bobby Bones]

Have a beer with you after hours at a bar? Yeah.

[Amy]

During the day.

[Eddie]

So busy. Can't volunteer.

[Morgan]

No, guys, it's the weekend. All right?

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Morgan]

So I'm sitting at the bar, right? It's not the point. Sit at the bar. And she's talking about, like, yeah, this is my last week at work. I'm like, well, that's cool. What are you doing? She's like, I'm moving to Thailand. Like, whoa. You're moving to Thailand to do what? She's like, it's a program where I can teach kids English, and I'm single. Like, I don't have any ties to Nashville, so I'm. I'm moving next week to Thailand.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be so cool. Not to Thailand, but just to be the. Have the freedom to just go. Go somewhere that you're so not uncomfortable, but it will not be comfortable because you know nothing about it. Like, that's kind of inspirational.

[Morgan]

That's what I thought.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That is so cool.

[Morgan]

And I was a little jealous, and I started thinking, like, if I could just go anywhere, like, right now, no ties, where would I go?

[Bobby Bones]

Or. Or if you could. Don't say it like that, because they're gonna go, like, you want to leave Your kids.

[Morgan]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Just say. What? Just say you're 20.

[Morgan]

Yeah, 20 years old and single. Where do I go at that moment? I just want to move to another country.

[Bobby Bones]

Where would. What would you do?

[Morgan]

I'll go to Fiji, the island of Fiji. You know, just go and be there for.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, she has a plan to work.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You have to have a plan to work.

[Morgan]

I mean, I can find a job there at a little local restaurant or something, you know, I would think you.

[Bobby Bones]

Want to be out on the boats, out on the waters.

[Morgan]

Okay. Help a fisherman.

[Amy]

Fish is water, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It's an island.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. So feed. You'd want to go to Fiji and just live. You get to come. You're coming back in a year, by the way.

[Okta Announcer]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I'm not there forever.

[Andrew]

Cool.

[Eddie]

Eddie, was she hot?

[Morgan]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

You know she's hot or not.

[Morgan]

Conversation, man.

[Eddie]

Don't be st. Was she hot?

[Morgan]

She was awesome. She's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I'll accept that.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

That is so trying to trap you. I think that's really cool that people can. Can do that. I. I didn't have. I. I. I had the ability, but I was in such a structured path for what I felt would be for my career. Like, I started really young, but that would have been so cool to be able to do that. If you were to do it right now, Amy, if you could, what would you do? Where would you go?

[Amy]

France, because I've never been. I want to go.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome.

[Amy]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can tell you it's awesome. What would you do for a year?

[Amy]

I teach English.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's a great thing. Yes. Yes.

[Eddie]

Because you know English.

[Amy]

I mean, barely.

[Morgan]

Don't they already kind of know English there, though?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that. You can learn it better.

[Amy]

Maybe I do.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if that's. Yes, but I don't know.

[Amy]

I'm just kidding. I don't know what.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I was in a. A store once buying clothes. And I don't know French, but I studied French in college, which doesn't mean I know French. And so I'm Bobby, and I was just trying as hard as I could talk about a shirt. And I was really struggling. And the guy goes, dude, I know English. And he was totally French, But I was like, oh, thank. But I was really trying.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Be cool, Lunchbox man.

[Eddie]

If I. If I moved to a country, it could be anywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I'm just trying to think. I've never been. I mean, I never thought. This is A possibility I've never thought about.

[Bobby Bones]

You get a year the world right now. Right now.

[Eddie]

I'll go to Australia. That seems like. Like, the pictures online look really cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cool.

[Morgan]

Like, it's right by Fiji, so we.

[Bobby Bones]

Can hang out, drive on the wrong side of the road, but it's cool.

[Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know anything about it. I've just seen pictures.

[Amy]

What would you do?

[Eddie]

I worked at a little restaurant on the beach. I mean, because they already know English. English I was going to, but then I was like, they know English. So I. I would just work at a little shop and just. I don't know. It would be. I think. I think it would be cool. Don't know anything about it. So we'll go there.

[Amy]

Bookstore.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool, too. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's magical. That's like a storyteller.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think you would probably learn the language a little more if you were. Yeah, totally. Just engrossed in all. I. You guys are gonna laugh at mine.

[Eddie]

Oh, don't even say it. If you say it, I'm gonna lose.

[Bobby Bones]

It for a year. I'd move to Fayetteville.

[Eddie]

Stop.

[Bobby Bones]

And I would teach.

[Morgan]

You got the question right. Anywhere in the world.

[Bobby Bones]

But I've been a lot of places, right? No, no, no. Like, for, like, a week. No, no, no. This is what I would teach.

[Amy]

English.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I would teach. I would teach at the University of Arkansas, and I would have. I would. You know what I would do? I have season tickets. Everything. I would go to everything. I would go to every softball game, baseball game, basketball game, obviously football games. I would go to gymnastics. I would just. I would have live right by campus, and I would just go to all the games, and I would teach.

[Eddie]

So you go back to college?

[Bobby Bones]

I would teach television, podcasting, radio, and that would be what I would do for a year.

[Eddie]

And what a waste of a year.

[Morgan]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

But I've been to all the places. You guys have told.

[Morgan]

You haven't been to Fiji.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I have. I'm good. I don't like water.

[Morgan]

You have been to Australia, though.

[Bobby Bones]

And I've been to France.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I seriously been to Fayetteville. 5 million, and I love it. And I would want to go there for a year and just teach and be a part of the system.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Amy]

Okay, y', all, we can't hate on.

[Eddie]

No, no, we absolutely can hate.

[Morgan]

There are no rules.

[Eddie]

There's no rules about not hating.

[Amy]

Literally no rules.

[Bobby Bones]

And, I mean, at that point, there's no Rules about hating. He had a good point.

[Amy]

We all chose somewhere far away. But like, we could have like. I. How cool would it be to go to like, Montana and work on a ranch, Right?

[Eddie]

Oh, stupid. You're stupid. You're idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a stupid, ugly idiot.

[Morgan]

Would be kind of cool, right?

[Amy]

So, like, that's just Bobby's Montana.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And I would go and teach at the place that I love the most. And I'm a doctor. They've come. A doctor.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. Have fun, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I would. But mostly I would just go to everything. I would go to every game. I'd go to some swim meets.

[Morgan]

What?

[Eddie]

No. Why?

[Bobby Bones]

I got a track.

[Eddie]

Boring. What?

[Morgan]

Hey, you're hating on his dream.

[Eddie]

[Bobby Bones]

And I'd be like, woo. Ooh, pig sui. It'd be awesome. That would be. That'd be a really amazing. I'm thinking about going back and just teaching anyway for a couple weeks a year.

[Morgan]

Oh, so you can do it anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

But I can't for a year because I can't go to all this.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

Wait, you're thinking about doing that or they've asked you to do that?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm thinking about it.

[Amy]

So if you think about it, what's.

[Bobby Bones]

My motto in life?

[Amy]

Oh, yes. You're already a professor.

[Bobby Bones]

I can do anything I want.

[Amy]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I literally. The world is bendable. I can do anything I want.

[Morgan]

But. But that mean we're going to Fayetteville too.

He had strep throat and if you saw the pictures online, his throat wasn't the thing that was swollen, it was his eyes. It looked like if you've seen Hitch, whenever he has an allergic reaction, his whole face swells up and all of us were like, that's, that's not strep throat, that's strep face. Yeah, it was the whole face. So I wanted, I do want to play the audio of Lunchbox being sick. So would you play that, Ray? I'm looking better. My lips are swollen. My eyes are swollen.

[Amy]

Really tall. It's not good. Strong throat.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you playing that up a little bit?

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Eddie]

That is literally how I sounded all I saw.

[Amy]

That's okay. So I. That's what he posted.

[Eddie]

I couldn't, like, I couldn't talk.

[Morgan]

What day was that?

[Eddie]

That was on Saturday morning.

[Morgan]

Oh, my goodness.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Because I couldn't have the volume up whenever I saw his post. I just had to look and. I know. I mean, that just sounds so much worse.

[Eddie]

Well, I. I guess I wasn't breathing as well as I thought I was. Like, I. I mean, like I said I was. Every 30 minutes, I'd wake up when I was sleeping because I was like, oh, I'm not comfortable. But I guess it was because I couldn't get air.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's not the reason the world hates him.

[Morgan]

Oh, that's not.

[Bobby Bones]

No. He got sick. He's got a reason. He thinks the world hates him.

[Eddie]

Survivor season 50 guys, they tease this thing. They're gonna hide immunity idols in all 50 states. If you go find the immunity idol, guess what. You get to go to Los Angeles for the live reunion special, meet all the cast, hang out with Jeff Probst, everything. And when did they do the reveal for Tennessee?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna get.

[Eddie]

February 14th. When I sounded like this.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, did you also hurt?

[Eddie]

Oh, I hurt, okay. I couldn't. It was miserable.

[Bobby Bones]

What if you didn't have that happening?

[Eddie]

I would have been on that idol because that idol was located 1.1 miles from this studio right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh?

[Eddie]

In a park that I have been to over a hundred times since I have lived here in Nashville. I know it like the back of my hand. And I would have been there digging in the dirt with that idol in my hand. My ticket to Los Angeles. And the day the search happens is when I am infected with whatever I had. When I couldn't talk, I couldn't move. I was in pain. And once again, the world is out to get me. The world hates me. My chance to go to Los Angeles, be in the crowd. Jeff Probst, meet me and be like, you know what? We need you on season 52.

[Bobby Bones]

So you think you getting sick kept you from not only finding the idol and hanging out at a celebration of season 50 that they would have wanted you on 52.

[Eddie]

Correct. They would have seen me. They would have met me. My energy, they have been like, look, man, we've already. We're in the middle of season 51 filming. But 52, you're our guy. That was the vision I had of what was going to happen. Oh, my gosh. It just wrecks me. Why the world is. Every time I try to get a step ahead and then I just get knocked down again.

[Bobby Bones]

You sound like, well, chumbawamba.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Top dumping.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You get knocked down to get up again, but when you get up, it's too late and the idol's already been found.

[Eddie]

It's already been found.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I mean that. Do you not agree with me that that's the reason 1902. Wait.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. But yes, we think that's very unfortunate.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh. I. I had signed up on the website, getting the emails about, hey, it's coming. Two days till the release of the where the clues are. One day. Are you counting down with us? And I'm like, yeah, I'm counting down anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't count.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And none of you thought it'd. God, it's not a word. None of you thought it. You didn't think to go and look sick or you were just so sick.

[Eddie]

I was so sick.

[Bobby Bones]

It didn't matter.

[Eddie]

I think they would have. I mean, it would have been bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I couldn't have done it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry that happened.

[Morgan]

Or are you saying. Are you saying that if you found it and they were like, you're the winner, and then you were like, aaron Burr. They'd be like, oh, you can't be the winner.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it did sound like the milk commercial from back in the day. Do you remember that? Aaron Burr. It's like, was he calling a radio station Aaron Burr? It was a question about the gunfight. And Aaron Burr is the one that ended up shooting and killing Alexander Hamilton.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's like, caller eight and he's got a cookie in his mouth. I'm like, what's the answer?

[Morgan]

Because he didn't have milk to wash the cookie.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he kind of sounded like this right here. I'm looking better. My lips are swollen.

[Amy]

It's not good. Strong throat.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't help but laugh.

[Morgan]

I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm sorry that happened. I am sorry that happened. Dude, that's not terrible.

[Eddie]

Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

Is he? Is he? No, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

What is Mozart doing?

[Amy]

Decomposing.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty good. That was the morning Corny Lobby Bone show. Bonehead story of the day.

[Eddie]

This story comes to us from New Jersey. What is more fun than doing donuts in your car? Doing donuts on ice Of a frozen lake. A dude drove his truck out there in the middle of the lake doing donuts and then.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there goes the lake wasn't frozen enough.

[Eddie]

Yeah, there goes the truck down into the water.

[Bobby Bones]

He get out.

[Eddie]

He was able to climb out, get on the roof, and jump back onto the ice. But all you see is the tip top of the truck still stuck in the ice in the middle of the lake.

[Amy]

Why would you ever do that?

[Bobby Bones]

We don't live in a cold weather climate. I wonder, is anybody.

[Amy]

Ray?

[Eddie]

Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray was so young. Did they let you know on the news if the ice is thick enough to go on the ponds? Yeah, those will get thick enough, but none of the Great Lakes will get thick enough. He wasn't on a great lake. Right. He wasn't on, like, Huron. You would know after about a month. It's good. But does the news have a. Okay, the lakes are now, because it's been cold for so long, safe to get on? No, you just throw a rock on it, throw a stick on it. Then you have a buddy go stand on it. Then you're like, all right, it's good to go.

[Morgan]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like that's probably not accurate.

[Amy]

And the weight of a car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Over to Andrew, who is in Illinois. Andrew, you're on the show.

[Andrew]

I was listening last week. I produce an independent audio drama, like a fiction podcast. And I heard Eddie doing his voiceover audition last week, and my man's got chopped.

[Eddie]

Stop.

[Andrew]

So I. I was just wanting to know if Eddie would. I've got, like, one character. It's in, like, two chapters of the podcast. And I was gonna say, Eddie, you did such a good job on your audition. I'd love for you to voice a character I'm in.

[Morgan]

Like, I'm it. Well, let me do some research on this character. Dude, let's talk. This is awesome.

[Amy]

Does he get paid?

[Morgan]

Well, we'll talk about that later.

[Bobby Bones]

And also, I would say, who cares? You get to just get a reel.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Because experience is good for him.

[Andrew]

That's what goes on the resume.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

You don't even know if anybody listens to this podcast.

[Morgan]

It doesn't matter.

[Eddie]

It's probably. No, not even real.

[Amy]

I'm thinking based on. It goes on the resume. He's. You're probably doing it for free.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's being a hater, too. Yes. No, you just hate it.

[Amy]

No, I think that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you just hate it. Instead of being encouraging, you started going, is it getting better?

[Amy]

I'm encouraging. No, I mean, it is.

[Bobby Bones]

You know why? Because she wants to do it too.

[Amy]

I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, she does.

[Amy]

But I'm happy for Eddie.

[Eddie]

I mean, so ridiculous.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, do you have any. I know. Everybody take a breath. Andrew, would you mind telling us a little bit about this podcast?

[Andrew]

Yeah. So we peaked at number three on the Apple fiction chart and we stayed in the top 40 for the entire run of season one. So lunch people are listening. It's kind of a coming of age sci fi story set in this fictional town called Milton that's surrounded by these dark woods called the Void. And so Eddie's character would be the local weatherman. His name would be Dan. Dan the weatherman.

[Bobby Bones]

Dan.

[Morgan]

Dan the weatherman.

[Bobby Bones]

You think he'd do that?

[Morgan]

Easily do that?

[Bobby Bones]

How much, like, does he need to play, like a specific type of weatherman? Like high energy weatherman, or is he just playing himself?

[Andrew]

He would be himself. This would be. He wouldn't be like on camera weatherman. This is kind of behind the scenes. So just being himself, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Just doing this and adding it to your VO resume.

[Morgan]

My voiceover resume?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Or your voice acting resume, dude. Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I'm thinking reps too. Like practice other characters.

[Bobby Bones]

So the question, first of all, is this paid?

[Andrew]

So the way I do so it is a truly independent production. And what I do is I just take 20% of all revenue and I divide it up amongst the cast. So he would just get put into the revenue share.

[Morgan]

Just get thrown in the pie. I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

And then what's his workload?

[Andrew]

He would be in two chapters for season two. It would literally be. I mean, you guys obviously have a studio. So I would send him a script with some notes and then he could just do it and email me the.

[Bobby Bones]

File, like a couple pages. Like, how much?

[Andrew]

Yeah, I mean, 20 minutes tops for both chapters.

[Amy]

Not bad.

[Morgan]

That's perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

You feel like you want to do this?

[Morgan]

Dude, I'm so feeling like I want to do this.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Amy, your thoughts? You've had a second to just recalibrate.

[Morgan]

Come on, Amy, be yourself now.

[Eddie]

Go ahead and hate Amy. It's just a joke now.

[Bobby Bones]

She already did hate. I'm asking her not to hate.

[Amy]

No, sorry, no. Well, I'm gonna do what I want to do.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you already did.

[Morgan]

You're positive Amy, though?

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm saying I'm happy for you. This is great.

[Bobby Bones]

You screamed money and then. Is there a role for me? That's what you did in the first 10 seconds of this call.

[Amy]

Let's just say there's a fish. Maybe I've always wanted to be a fish. So just keep that in mind.

[Bobby Bones]

I Don't know if they have it.

[Eddie]

This is not a fish one. It's not about you guys in Milton or Melton, wherever. This story of sci fi. There are no fish.

[Amy]

Wait, so it's a coming of age story, like whatever that means.

[Morgan]

Dan.

[Bobby Bones]

Dan, as a young boy is learning in life that he's experimenting Dan, Dan the weatherman with learning the weather, but also women and men. It's. You're coming of age.

[Morgan]

I didn't catch that part of this. Is that right?

[Amy]

There's probably younger characters in the near. The weather.

[Morgan]

Amy, when you were talking about holiday harmony and all that, you didn't hear me jump in and be like, I want to do that.

[Eddie]

Actually, you did.

[Bobby Bones]

No, actually, you all auditioned for it and Amy won, but you didn't get mad.

[Morgan]

Oh, on the show. Yeah, we read. Yeah, a few lines.

[Bobby Bones]

Wasn't that what you guys read lines for?

[Eddie]

Or that.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you just get. No, I think.

[Amy]

Yeah. But I was definitely. Already had the part. Like.

[Morgan]

I am definitely being offered the part right now.

[Amy]

You are. And that's.

[Eddie]

Yeah. For something no one's ever heard of, man. Don't worry.

[Bobby Bones]

But nobody's ever heard of anything until they hear of it.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

Can you give me the name of this so I can look it up?

[Bobby Bones]

No, because we're not allowing good hate. We're not.

[Amy]

Just love.

[Bobby Bones]

Just love.

[Eddie]

We were number three on the fiction something.

[Morgan]

It's a chart, man.

[Bobby Bones]

What number are you right now?

[Eddie]

I'm probably number five.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're not. You can't. You're not. You're not.

[Eddie]

You have no idea. You just make up a chart and you're number two on it. I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Andrew, what I'm going to do. Yeah. Is I'm going to put you on hold and get your contact information. Hold on.

[Eddie]

Andrew, have you ever heard my voice? Like, what do you. Why did you call for Eddie?

[Amy]

Because Eddie's auditioning.

[Andrew]

Eddie took his shot. He did the voice. He did the audition?

[Amy]

Yeah, he did.

[Eddie]

Oh, my God.

[Morgan]

Thank you, Andrew.

[Bobby Bones]

Andrew, I will get your information. We'll get it over to Eddie and I would love to hear, once this is done, the final product.

[Amy]

I would like to clarify. All I was pointing out is Eddie might be doing this for free.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you put your fingers in there and rubbed them together for money. Yeah.

[Eddie]

You did that.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody could hear. So I want to point out exactly what happened.

[Amy]

I was trying to see if Eddie would ask the question and then I.

[Bobby Bones]

Just said, is there a role for me? Before Eddie could even have a conversation.

[Amy]

I said, you said, it sounds like maybe you want in on this. And I was like, yeah, you're probably right. So I got a little saw.

[Morgan]

With our own eyes, we witnessed it all.

[Eddie]

The truth.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't change it.

[Morgan]

No, man. The way you ask questions, though, I gotta start doing that.

[Amy]

What do you mean?

[Morgan]

Like, I was just like, I'm in.

[Eddie]

Sign me up.

[Morgan]

And you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. How much work? Where's the money coming?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm also not saying you need to get paid a bunch or you need to do a limit, but you just should know what, right? What you're getting into.

[Morgan]

I didn't even ask, like, what the story was about. I didn't even know what the character was. I'm like, sign me up.

[Bobby Bones]

What if you're Epstein's best. What if you're Epstein's best friend, right, and you're playing it. That's what you don't want. You got to ask those type of questions.

[Morgan]

You're so good at that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Hey, Andrew, stay on hold, okay?

[Andrew]

Yeah, thanks.

[Amy]

Okay, Bye, Andrew.

[Bobby Bones]

No, don't suck up to Andrew now.

[Amy]

I'm just kidding.
