Release Date: January 29, 2025

---

1. Technical Difficulties and On-Air Issues [00:00 - 05:15]

In the early segment of the episode, Bobby Bones and co-host Amy address unexpected technical difficulties that caused the show to be off-air for approximately 41 minutes. Bobby humorously remarks on the situation:

"This morning can knock your socks off. I'm not even sure what I had ready to go, but we weren't." ([03:30])

Amy expresses her frustration and empathy towards the listeners affected by the abrupt interruption:

"I just feel bad that it keeps happening. It's like, what happens to, you know, what we put together and the work and what we have to talk about?" ([04:16])

The hosts discuss the challenges posed by their system in Sherman Oaks, California, which occasionally leads to emergency reruns instead of their live content. Bobby shares his strategy for maintaining listener engagement despite these interruptions:

"We got it. We know you're watching this watchdog group. Go ahead." ([05:27])

2. Listener Call: Betrayal and Financial Trust Issues [05:15 - 16:04]

The core content of the episode revolves around helping a listener, identified as "Feeling Betrayed Wife," who discovered her husband has a hidden credit card with a $30,000 balance. Bobby responds empathetically, emphasizing the validity of her feelings and the importance of communication:

"You have the right to feel that way. You have the right to feel. Anyway, mostly it's how you act to that feeling." ([14:08])

He advises her to consider her husband's possible embarrassment and the reasons behind his secrecy:

"If you're him, he loved you. He's probably wildly embarrassed about this." ([15:27])

Amy adds to the conversation by highlighting the necessity of working together to address the financial and emotional fallout:

"Yeah, now it's a, it's a you problem now, too. So you have to work together." ([15:01])

Bobby further elaborates on the path forward, encouraging forgiveness and joint financial planning to overcome the debt:

"You deserve the feeling. You got to figure out how to get past the feeling, not forget the feeling." ([15:20])

3. AI Girlfriends: A Controversial Topic [34:57 - 41:10]

The hosts delve into a hot-button issue regarding the rise of AI girlfriends and their potential to replace human companionship. Bobby introduces the topic with a startling statistic:

"A survey of 2,000 men revealed that 8 in 10 believed AI girlfriends could fully replace human companionship." ([35:04])

Amy quickly responds with skepticism and concern about the societal implications:

"That's too high of a number. Eight and ten. That's too high. Something's wrong with people." ([35:08])

The discussion intensifies as they debate the emotional and ethical ramifications of relying on AI for romantic relationships. Lunchbox vocally opposes the idea, suggesting it reflects deeper issues within human connections:

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard... This is absolutely disturbing and weird." ([37:19])

Bobby cautiously adds, acknowledging the technological advancements but questioning their impact on genuine human interaction:

"Technology over the past hundred years has slowly replaced a lot of human connection in a lot of human ways. This is just kind of the next step in that." ([38:29])

4. Good News Segment: Supporting Military Families [41:28 - 44:15]

In a heartwarming segment, Stacy from Colorado shares her husband's recent deployment to California to assist with wildfires. Bobby responds by offering support and a gesture of goodwill:

"I'm gonna send you guys like a, you know, couple hundred dollar gift card. And it's... How about this, Stacy? It's not even for you. It’s for your husband." ([42:57])

Stacy expresses gratitude as Bobby ensures that her husband receives the assistance he deserves upon his return:

"This is for your husband and your husband only. But you also get to eat too well." ([43:21])

5. Lottery Wins and Listener Engagement [27:01 - 31:08]

The hosts engage in playful banter about lottery wins, sharing listener experiences and personal anecdotes. Bobby jokes about scratching tickets and the excitement of potential winnings:

"I scratched the ticket on Christmas, thought I won a thousand because I couldn't count all the words right away. I scanned it on the lottery app. It said $1 million on the screen." ([27:15])

Lunchbox humorously tries his luck with Bobby, both failing to strike it rich but keeping the conversation light-hearted:

"All right, you can go get two more tickets. One day I'm gonna hit over a thousand dollars, which is exciting." ([28:06])

6. Closing Remarks and Future Episodes [44:25 - End]

As the episode concludes, Bobby recaps the segments and teases upcoming content, maintaining engagement with the audience despite earlier technical hiccups:

"That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast." ([44:27])

He reiterates the show's commitment to addressing diverse topics, inviting listeners to continue tuning in for more insightful and entertaining discussions.

[Bobby Bones]

Hi, I'm Arturo Castro, and I've been lucky enough to do stuff like Broad City and Narcos and Roadhouse.

Transmitting across America. Hey, this is Intro is going to sound a little different because we were not on the air for the first 40 minutes of today's show. So as I'm doing this, we're not even on the air. I don't even know what's going on. A lot of days we're not on the air for some reason. And so today we weren't on the air for like 41 minutes, according to the email. Well, I mean, we're still off the air. Scuba, are you there? Is Scuba Scuba there? Yeah, I'm here. Yeah, what's up? Hello? So it wasn't that it was dead air for once. No, it was one of those things where we were able to catch it earlier. And so the noc, which is our system in Sherman Oaks, California, they then run an emergency show. So there was still audio from us on the air. So you may have been listening and had no idea, but we knew because it was different content. So a rerun. A rerun, exactly.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So no dead air, no commercials were missed. It just wasn't what we had we thought we were doing in the studio. Yeah. Which sucks. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. But yesterday we were off the air for a while. Yeah. And that's different. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's different. So here we are recording this after the fact. And so this podcast, you're really going to notice no difference. But it was like what I felt like we talked about in that section. I liked it. So I want to do it at a different time, maybe even tomorrow. So that's what we're gonna do. Just prepare yourself because the first segment tomorrow can knock your socks off. I'm not even sure what I had ready to go, but there we weren't. If you turn the radio on this morning, like it's a rerun, it ain't a rerun. Something happened again. It's crazy. They can't keep our show on the air. Is it? Cuz we're so good. You ever think about that? Like they can't just handle like the raw entertainment value.

[Amy]

I don't think that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's kind of a rude way to answer that question.

[Amy]

No, I would think that we are. It is good. But why would they want to mess up something that's good? It just gets unrelated.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they want to. I don't think they can handle it.

[Amy]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, it's too hot. Like sometimes you really want to have that piece of pizza. You haven't. You're like, this is a great piece of pizza. But you put in your. It's too hot. It's a wonderful piece of pizza. Maybe the best tasting ever. But it's a little too hot.

[Amy]

You can't handle it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Sometimes I gotta feel. I just think they can't handle it. I have a file that I keep of every time we go off the air. It's starting to really amass. Quite the collection. You need an extra hard drive for that file. Can you imagine? I gotta go. External hard drive just for all these. File all these. And thank you to the listeners that message us during the live show. And they're like, we can't hear you. I do not get annoyed by that, because that's how I know. So, yeah, that's what's up. Anything you want to say, Amy?

[Amy]

I. I don't know. I don't know. I just feel bad that it keeps happening. It's like, what happens to, you know, what we put together and the work and what we have to talk about? Like, we just.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we'll do some of it tomorrow. Some of it will kill. But there was like, 40 minutes.

[Amy]

I know. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Amy]

Do you keep a. Do you keep record of what we kill?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

You do?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean? Mike and I keep record of everything?

[Amy]

Well, I know sometimes you challenge us.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes you challenge us if we know what we're doing. We get that.

[Amy]

I didn't challenge. I asked a question once, and trust me, I will never ask again.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, we. Listen, we got it. We know you're watching this watchdog group. Go ahead.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I mean, you have the rejected segments, but then we have.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no. If they get killed, and we were gonna use them a lot of times it's just a timing thing.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Meaning it. The timeliness doesn't exist anymore, so it wouldn't even be a rejected segment. So. Anyway, that's the deal. That's why this one sounds weird this morning, because I'm just kind of like, I don't know what to do. I'll just come in, do me, and then we'll do us, and then we're all fear sometimes. Sometimes we're not. I don't know.

[Amy]

Cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

You're gonna do you, and we're gonna do us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then let's see what the heck happens.

[Amy]

Wait, you said that the other day that you were ordered another cake. Did you really?

[Bobby Bones]

I ate it.

[Amy]

Oh, okay. Sort of craving it.

[Bobby Bones]

I can get us another one, though. I do want to play this. Voicemail number three. This is from Alan Ray, if you don't mind playing that one. I thought you might want to take a chance at a New country star. Bring him on the show. He's 84 years old. He's been a fan of country music since the 1950s, and he's a star. His name is Ringo Starr and he's got a song out called Time on My Hands. And I'm sure he's got other songs out, but I thought you might want to bring him on the radio. What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me? We have Mike. Is there another date? They're confirming some things with management. I think he's maybe promoting something else. So I think they're trying to do it around that time, but there's still a shot we get Ringo. Yeah, that'd be cool. What month? We're looking to do it next month still. I think they're looking at when we want to air it. Well, okay. Well, hey, we can't promise it'll be on the air. We can promise it won't record it. We don't know if it'll ever make the air. Yeah, when we put it out. But, yeah, look, we're working on it.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks for that call, Alan. Hey, give me Carol from Massachusetts number two. I was just wondering if you could please bring back blind karaoke.

[Amy]

It makes my day.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. Love the show, love your positivity. Thank you for inspiring me to be a better person. Have a great day. Thank you for the voicemail. So we've been doing it, but only on the over the air broadcast because the music, even karaoke form, we can't play on the podcast. Now, the only thing we could play on the podcast is public domain. But Scuba Steve hit me up last night ironically and. And said, maybe coincidentally and said, hey, why don't we do blind karaoke public domain so we can sing the songs? Let's talk. Yeah, because it's like, again, hush little baby, don't we can possibly try that Yankee Doodle. Yeah. It's all songs that are 100 years old and free to use. So, Carol, thank you for that question. We are working on that and we have been doing it. But if you're a podcast listener, you haven't been hearing it at all. Yeah, you can watch it on the YouTube page, though. It's just different rules for everything. YouTube live performances go up there. So we'd encourage you to go search for obbyboneshow and subscribe to the YouTube page. But I understand if you're a podcast only listener that there are certain things where it can be frustrating. You don't get to hear. So sorry about that. Give me number four. Morning, studio. Morning, Bobby. I was just curious as to why y'all keep changing the format of the podcast. I'm a podcast listener. My wife's a podcast listener. And the names and the way they're uploaded just keeps getting changed. Like doing part one, part two, and post slash pre show is perfect. But now it's part one, part two, part three. Is there a pre show? Is there a post show? I don't know. I'm confused. Why do we keep changing it? Love you guys. Bye. Great question. There have been a lot of changes on us with how these DSPs, which I had to learn what that means. For the record, as a digital service provider, they're doing things like canceling auto downloads. They're doing things like if you've been subscribed to a show for over whatever year, they eliminate those. And so if you've been subscribed to.

[Amy]

A show and then what?

[Bobby Bones]

For a bunch of years, there's a threshold where they just eliminate those subscriptions.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's kind of been this new land of having to refigure out what works podcasting. Because any of the old audience we had that still listen, that was built in, some of they just stopped subscribing to the show, not because they went and clicked it, but because certain digital service providers said, we've hit this line. It's been this long. No more subscriptions. Or the auto downloads thing kicked us right in the nuts, right? Because people would auto download the show and they would just get it and it would show for us that people were getting it and listening to it. But maybe they suspected an auto download and it just didn't and people didn't. So we had to figure out what worked best for us. And we're still kind of in that experiment now because it's changing all the time. Part one and part two are mostly from the regular show. Part three is the post show and the pre show. But we found that if we just put post show on it, a large part of the audience was like, we don't want to hear leftovers. If it's just post show, that means it didn't make the regular show, which in reality, sometimes we want to talk longer about things that we put in the post show. So part three is usually. It's all, I should say, always, Right? If we do a part three, it's always a pre or post show. And so that right now is what we found to be most successful for us. In getting our streaming numbers back to the point before the auto download stopped, because, I mean, our show was downloaded over 100 million times last year. It's a massive podcast, which is exciting, but when they turned off the auto downloads we had, we lost like a million a month immediately. And so we're trying to strategically figure out how to kind of play in the new age of podcasts. Didn't used to be competing for everybody's attention over and over again because they were kind of on your team. They were subscribed, but it's not like that as much anymore. But that's a bit why. So I appreciate the question because I would have never thought to explain what we don't even understand yet. Anything else, Mike, on that one. That's it. Okay. But thank you, Al, Alec, for that call. All right, so here's the rest of the show from today. The one on the air, right? I mean, most of the stuff. We're gonna play. One on the air. Yeah. Okay. I'm so frustrated. Thank you all for listening. And here is the show. Hello, Bobby Bones. I just learned that my husband has a credit card with a $30,000 balance. He has been paying it down since before we got married three years ago, but I did not know about it. Now it shows up on my credit report. He hasn't missed any payments on it, but it's got a ridiculous interest rate, and now it's going to make it harder for us to be able to buy a home. I'm committed to my husband, but I feel like this is a betrayal of trust. Am I wrong? Shouldn't he have shared this information with me before we married? Signed, feeling betrayed Wife. So I'm going to agree with you on everything that you said, and as far as I understand why you would feel that way. You have the right to feel that way. You have the right to feel. Anyway, mostly it's how you act to that feeling. So, yes, I would feel like I was lied to. So, yes, feel. You're angry. Okay, we're all there, right? You're angry he betrayed you. The only thing that I would say. Put yourself in his shoes for a second. He loved you. He's probably wildly embarrassed about this. He thought maybe you wouldn't want to be with him if he told you this, True or not, and he didn't tell you. I'm not advocating for him, by the way, but I'm just saying think about it. If you're him, he didn't want to tell you this because he didn't want you to leave him. Maybe you wouldn't have married him in his mind if. If you knew this. It doesn't help the position you're in. It sucks. So I think you can have multiple feelings. Yes. I'll be so mad. But then I would go, this is the reality of what we're living in now. And I can be as mad as I want. It ain't changing anything because you ain't leaving him. You already said you're not leaving him. Like, that would be one of the actions that you would take from having this feeling. The other is you get angry, and you have to forgive, and you have.

[Amy]

To just work through it, come up with a plan. Yeah, now it's a. It's a you problem now, too. So you have to work together.

[Bobby Bones]

And I would assume. And I've just. I've been married three and a half years now, so I haven't put in 20 years or anything. But there are things that come up in both of our sides that the other one just has to learn to deal with that we didn't know about, maybe they didn't know about. This is a big one. And you can be upset and you should be mad, and I would feel like I was betrayed. But you have said you're not leaving him. So now how can you effectively move past that feeling you have every right to have and plan for your future at paying down this so you can buy a home? Because it is now both of your problem. And that's it. You deserve the feeling. You got to figure out how to get past the feeling, not forget the feeling. And then you got to figure out how to get through the $30,000 in debt that you didn't know about. And then I checked for other debts, too. That's probably not the only one.

[Amy]

35,000?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. $30,000 balance.

[Amy]

Oh, that's it. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it. That's a lot.

[Amy]

Oh, well, 35. That. I thought it was 35.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything over, like, nine feels the same until, like, 100.

[Amy]

I didn't mean it like. It's not a significant amount. I just meant, like, five every 5,000. It's like, oh, wow, this just got 5,000 less.

[Bobby Bones]

And the interest rate. I would go talk to somebody. You're probably smarter with money than he is. The great thing is he has not missed a payment. Right. He's embarrassed.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

He. He has not missed a payment, though. So it's not like you are with a guy who has tried to run and his credit is ruined because of it. So that is A small victory in this very small. You gotta work together. That sucks. It's not if sucky things happen in your life. It's when they happen.

[Amy]

Do you think it's fair?

[Bobby Bones]

How do you get through them?

[Amy]

For her to ask, is there anything else you haven't told me?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I think it's completely fair because you're betrayed. You have. You're extra sensitive to being betrayed again.

[Amy]

And you could even say, hey, I love you. I want to be with you. Let's work to figure this out. Also, is there anything else that I.

[Bobby Bones]

My lawyer, when I was up for murder, he's like, tell me everything, because I need to know. You need to. And I was like, that's really it. I remember that. Yeah. I mean, I was acquitted. I was not guilty. You're good. Figure it out. This won't be the only thing gets figured out. You know that now. But that sucks. And that's okay, too. It can suck. All right, thank you. Close it up.

[Bobby Bones]

It's time for the Good News with producer Eddie. Shawnya Bennett lives in Alabama. She's pregnant and she's with the baby's father. They're hanging out. She goes, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have the baby. The contractions are happening. Let's get in the car and go. So they start driving and they make it about a mile away from the hospital where she's like, the baby's coming out.

[Lunchbox]

Just pull over.

[Bobby Bones]

So the baby's dad pulls over into the Krispy Kreme parking lot. They call 91 1. Next thing you know, paramedics come down, the baby is born and Krispy Kreme's like hey, you had this baby in our parking lot. You get Krispy Kreme for a whole year. If that have been you driving, you'd have gone and got a donut. I would have been like, let me get the two cream filled. First of all, he wouldn't have been driving if you missed the story. When Eddie's wife had a baby, he made her drive to the hospital.

[Amy]

And then we had already gone four other times, but he was hungry, so they pulled. They also stop Muffin.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. For a muffin McMuffin. This story is not fair.

[Lunchbox]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm just saying, if it had been you, you'd probably went in as she was delivering, got a little something.

[Amy]

You're like, this is probably another false alarm. So can I get.

[Lunchbox]

Guys, we're getting derailed.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you would have also said, hey, get her out of the driver's seat first before you take. You let her have the baby. Not true. Great story. I have a friend who delivered a baby. Well, had their baby in a car. They got to the hospital parking lot, the baby came out, and I was like, well, what happened to the car? And he was like, it's a disaster. It's like a disaster inside a murder scene. Yeah, dude, it was awful, because that's the kind of stuff I want to know. Like, wow, that's crazy. And they were near the hospital, so obviously the nurses and, you know, anybody that knew what they were doing came out, but I was like, so what'd you do with the car? And he was like, well, we have it, but it is. Was like a explosion in there. It's funny you thought about that, because my mind did not go where. What happened to the car?

[Amy]

Like, I cut my finger the other day with a knife cooking. And then I ended up and blood on my couch, and I cannot get it out. And, yeah, it's like. It's like an inch big. Could you imagine?

[Bobby Bones]

That's like a million cuts in your finger. Anyway, good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Let's spill the tea. Let's spill the tea. This is just someone on the show tattling. All. All in fun, though, right? Everybody, not. Not a voice changer. This person wants to come forward themselves and be themselves.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I. I respect that. Morgan, you're up. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So I was having a conversation the.

[Amy]

Other week with Lunchbox, and he was.

[Lunchbox]

Complaining about how the dishwasher at his.

[Amy]

House was broken, and he had to.

[Bobby Bones]

Hand wash dishes, and it was this whole thing. I Didn't think much of it until yesterday.

[Amy]

I see lunchbox coming into the office with a whole pile of dishes.

[Bobby Bones]

He brought it and did dishes in our, like, company. Dishwasher? Yes.

[Amy]

Did dishwasher in our kitchen?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead, Morgan.

[Amy]

It's more work than just washing it home.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead. So I see him walking in. I'm like, where are you going?

[Lunchbox]

He's like, the dishwasher.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, first of all, I didn't.

[Amy]

Even realize we had a dishwasher at our thing.

[Lunchbox]

So he goes in, and he just starts putting his dirty dishes in the.

[Bobby Bones]

Dishwasher in our work kitchen. Did you bring, like, dishwashing balls? They have.

[Lunchbox]

They have pods in the. The kitchen. If you look under the sink, they have the pods. They have everything for you.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's perfect because you brought dirty dishes. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You put them in, like, a little canvas bag or whatever you call a tote bag. Like a grocery bag, you know, like a reusable one. I just threw some in there and brought them into the kitchen. And it's perfect because you put them in at the beginning of the show. By the time we're done, they are washed and dried. You just put them back in the bag, and you go home. And I am like, this is amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't that seem like more work than just washing the dishes? Because I would think you can only bring, like, seven. Like, that's probably the number in about seven or eight dishes. That's it. And how long would it take you to wash seven or eight dishes? Seven or eight minutes. About a minute a dish. But he brings him up here to what? Does your wife know you do that?

[Lunchbox]

Well, she asked me to do the dishes, and I said, oh, yeah? Yeah. And I mean, listen, I have a lot of plastic dishes because the kids use plastic dishes, so they use three, four, five cups a day. So you stack the cups, stick them in there, guys. You can fit a lot of plastic dishes in a bag, and you bring them to the work. And let me tell you, saves money, because you don't have to buy dishwasher pods. And your water bill's cheaper now because now I got a dishwasher at work. This is amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

So are you bringing in dishes every day?

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna maybe bring them in a couple times a week. Now that I figured out that this hack. I'm like, this is genius. Why did I not think of this before? I don't know if we ever had a dishwasher before. This is great. We have one, and it is Working. And it's nice.

[Amy]

I don't recall ever having a dishwasher before.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know we had one here.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's right in there.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I would even seen it and thought I should bring my. It just seems like more work to bring the dishes up, load them, let them wash, unload them, carry them back, then load them back in the house.

[Amy]

I was picturing some glass plates, but I mean, if they are plastic, he can just toss them in the bag real quick.

[Lunchbox]

So easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Why not fix your dishwasher?

[Lunchbox]

Well, it costs money.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm familiar. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And you got to get someone out there. They, oh, you know, we can come out on next Tuesday. It's like, man, really? Seven days away.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, do your dishes for six days up here. And then they.

[Lunchbox]

I work on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Is this the. Is this the worst ever? Like, is this the weirdest one ever? I feel like things. He's like, tried to.

[Lunchbox]

Don't say it's stealing.

[Amy]

It is stealing. No, no, no. Because I don't think we are. Our job has nothing to do with bringing dishes from home and using the pots like you're actually using company stuff like, that's meant for if we host a party here or there's an event, and then they can easily clean things up in the kitchen.

[Bobby Bones]

What's weirder, him bringing the dishes in or. When Raymundo secretly lived up here and turn to come here, he was living, like, under a table. Raymondo's audio producer.

[Amy]

Well, yeah. When Ray lived here, that's obviously worse.

[Bobby Bones]

He was homeless. Yeah, but only because he chose to be homeless. And Ray, where would you sleep? We had tons of couches. It's a radio station, so the artist, green rooms, stuff like that. Would you move around so no one would ever see sleeping in the same place? No, we had an awesome lounge area. There were curtains or pillows, blankets, and nobody ever went in there. The lights were dim. It was perfect. And for you to change your mail to the building to where your bills would come here, was that difficult to do? And to make sure you got it, I only just recently did that. I was getting mailed to that address for 10 years, and it was awesome. To the radio station. Yes. Yeah, but then we moved buildings, so. No, no, you actually got a home. Not move buildings. Like, you actually went somewhere and paid rent. Getting mail to your work is awesome because the front desk people take care of it all, and they come and hand it to you. And what would you do for, like a shower, the gym, 24 hours. You had a membership at a gym. Yeah. The lunchbox does dishes. Ray used this place as a residence.

[Amy]

Yeah. Which obviously that's not gonna be happening ever again, Right. With anybody.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't one just a smaller version of the other?

[Amy]

Well, yeah. Well, I wonder, should we. How do executives feel about this?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, don't ask. Should we not ask?

[Lunchbox]

They don't need to. We don't need to go ask them how they feel. They have the dishwasher pots, and it's not even like the cheap, you know, like powder. They have the nice pods. It's great.

[Amy]

It's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Somebody run that poll, see if that's allowed. All right. Thank you, Morgan. That Spill the tea.

[Lunchbox]

Let's spill the tea.

[Bobby Bones]

A woman bought a stack of scratch off lottery tickets to give as gifts at Christmas, which is a fun gift. And so she's given her out. Bam, bam, bam, bam. She kept one of them in the stack just randomly. And she had a million bucks with that one that she kept.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not even like she bought one for herself and then just scratched it in one. She bought a bunch to give out, decided to keep one of the bunch she gave out. And that one hit the million dollars quote. I scratched the ticket on Christmas, thought I won a thousand because I couldn't count all the words right away. I scanned it on the lottery app. It said $1 million on the screen. The lottery is a Christmas tradition for a family. I give lottery tickets as gifts every year. I can't believe I'm the one who won. I'm still in shock. That's from upi. That is awesome. I did scratch another ticket at my quest this morning to win a scratch off of over a thousand dollars. And I hit. It's very exciting.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder how I'm gonna tell you guys when I really do hit. Am I gonna bring it up low key like this?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And just kind of trick and be like. Yeah, I was just. And then I'm. Today this 50 ticket, I hit two jumbos on the same ticket.

[Lunchbox]

Whoa. That's five times. Twice.

[Bobby Bones]

Just times five. And. But there were two jumbo ten. So I won 100 bucks on this 50 ticket.

[Lunchbox]

All right, that's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He wants me to lose so bad.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

That I think he gets nervous every time I scratch in here.

[Lunchbox]

I do. And every time you say I hit.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, I did hit. There's a this morning, 100 bucks for 50 ticket. I'm gonna go get two more tickets. One day I'm gonna hit over a thousand dollars, which is exciting. Lunchbox is going now because of these stories where people will go and ask, hey, what ticket should I get? And the person behind the. At the gas station, behind the counter and says, get this ticket. Then they hit. So you did what? You went.

[Lunchbox]

I went to the thing and I was like, hey, man, you know, I just tell them I want this amount of ticket. You know what I mean? Which one? Yeah, you just pick it. You just pick it. Because, I mean, well, I don't have the luck. You guys have the luck.

[Bobby Bones]

So the story we talked about on the show, someone let the gas station clerk pick their ticket. They won $500,000. There's a chance Lunchbox hasn't won because he has been picking tickets and his karma is garbage. That's right. Bad, not good. Here's number one. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

What's the most expensive?

[Bobby Bones]

$50.

[Lunchbox]

All right, give me a 50.

[Bobby Bones]

$1.

[Lunchbox]

All right, you pick it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we've only got one.

[Lunchbox]

All right, let's do 50. You grabbed it. You said good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, you said it's good. You went big, though. I hope you come back and see me now.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. All right. Thank you. Yeah, it's a million. I hope it's more than a million. I hope it's a billion. Okay, well, a million will do then.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't even commit to coming back. She was like, oh, you come back. He goes, that's what's up.

[Amy]

That's what's up.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you scratch that one?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did it win?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here's number two.

[Lunchbox]

How you doing, man? I just want a 20 scratch off. Yeah, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it.

[Lunchbox]

And I wanted you to pick it because I read on the news about all the time the cashier picks it and it wins. So I'm hoping you're the winner.

[Amy]

That's usually what happens.

[Lunchbox]

That's what happens. I don't want to have any say in it.

[Bobby Bones]

You scratch it?

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you win?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, one more. Here we go.

[Lunchbox]

Can I get a 20 scratch off? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

I'll let you pick it because hopefully it's lucky because when I pick it, it never wins. They've been hitting on the ones I picked up. Really?

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, because I read on, I read on the news some lady did it and she won 500, 000, so. All right. You're the good luck charm.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

Best of luck to me.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel good now. Did you hear?

[Lunchbox]

I Saved the best for last.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go.

[Lunchbox]

Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Nothing. Nothing. Like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, nothing. We get it. Nothing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, the news is fake. It's fake.

[Bobby Bones]

The news is fake.

[Amy]

Fake news.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll take my ticket in and give me a couple more. I'm gonna hit this year.

[Amy]

It's good to have confidence.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, it's not. I do it all the time. Doesn't work.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think I'll hit this year?

[Amy]

Probably, yes.

[Lunchbox]

Because you're the luckiest person.

[Bobby Bones]

Not lucky. I just keep at it. Okay, thank you. Thank you to everybody who helped. Lunchbox. Lunchbox. You went in, you were sick. Obviously got all the people sick, too.

[Lunchbox]

I get those people sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's sick because of you, right?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Sound just like him. Yeah, it's the same sound. Steve's gone because he's sick.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, here we go. Blame me for everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Every gas station attendant.

[Lunchbox]

If you guys need someone to blame me, I'll take all your scapegoats.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you'll take all of our scapegoats. No, no, no. That's not what that is. You're the scapegoat.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, is that what it is?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. I'm the scapegoat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're the scapegoat. That's okay. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle.

[Bobby Bones]

AI girlfriends are becoming a thing. And 8 in 10 men think they could replace real girlfriends in the next ten years.

[Amy]

That's too high of a number. Eight and ten. That's too high. Something's wrong with people.

[Bobby Bones]

Or has something been so wrong forever that this is what's fixing it?

[Amy]

No, I. I guarantee you. How many men do we have around? Let's pull them in how many of y'all would be okay with an AI girlfriend?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm married, so let's just for.

[Amy]

A minute pretend you're not.

[Bobby Bones]

That's tough.

[Amy]

Actually, I'm worried because I feel like you might be okay with it.

[Bobby Bones]

So this is from the mirror. Many people often admit they find dating hard, with many struggling to meet the one. So it's no surprise that with technology advancing so quickly, a lot of people are turning to artificial intelligence to help boost their love life. So 8.

[Amy]

I just. I can't. I can't get on board with this. For us as humanity, we can't do this.

[Bobby Bones]

A survey of 2,000 men revealed that 8 in 10 believed AI girlfriends could fully replace human companionship. And 81 would even consider marrying one if it really. Okay, that's weird.

[Amy]

No, no, the marrying thing is weird. Well, no, of course. Like, you don't have to get vulnerable with an AI girlfriend or wife. No wonder so many men are finding this appealing. Like y'all, y'all. Y'all are avoiding true connection.

[Bobby Bones]

They also say, and I'll be. I'll be timid with my words here. The robots that men can use.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

On same page.

[Amy]

Disgusting.

[Bobby Bones]

They think that will be. Those will be prevalent by 2050. Okay, well, so if there's an AI, like a computer pro, like a, let's say a very lifelike doll that could say things, have conversations, and then also provide physical needs, most men would just be like, all good.

[Amy]

Yeah. Sounds.

[Bobby Bones]

Does that mean we as men.

[Amy]

Yes, sounds trash.

[Bobby Bones]

Are we just so, like, simple and stupid?

[Amy]

Well, yeah. I don't think that most men that we know are going to be into this, but I do see how if it becomes more popular and more acceptable, then it will be tempting for people to just disconnect and, and opt for that.

[Bobby Bones]

No kids. Like I'm saying, that's a bad thing, right? You wouldn't be able to unless you.

[Amy]

Start to have your own little artificial intelligent babies.

[Bobby Bones]

Also just computer program kids.

[Amy]

It's like, how many kids do you have?

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox? How do you feel about eight and 10 men think they could have an AI girlfriend in the next 10, 15 years?

[Lunchbox]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Like, I don't know what men. They must be going to cabins in the woods and finding these men that have no friends or live in their parents basement because there is no chance. If my friend came to me and said, hey, man, I'm just gonna let you know I got an AI girlfriend, hey, he would not be my friend anymore. And I would get him some psychological help immediately. This is absolutely disturbing and weird and.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I think more than somebody in the cabin in the woods. It's like young people that they're predicting for the future.

[Lunchbox]

No. If my kid. No. Oh my. So you're telling me my kids gonna have an AI girl?

[Amy]

It probably will be more acceptable when our kids are older.

[Lunchbox]

It's never acceptable to have an AI girlfriend period, ever.

[Amy]

But I mean, just where we're headed. And then, gosh, now we're with this unrealistic expectation sometimes because of other things, like to be careful with what you're saying, like the doll. Like, sometimes women, it's like we can't live up to certain things or fantasies and whatnot. And now you've got this do that'll basically do whatever. It's like, what? No.

[Bobby Bones]

She started to convince me. No, slowly Amy's convinced because the first I was like, no way. She.

[Amy]

That. How is that convincing? No, I'm just saying, like, that's just so sad and like, there's no way, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, technology over the past hundred years has slowly replaced a lot of human connection in a lot of human ways. This is just kind of the next step in that.

[Amy]

But there are pros to technology because it's also brought closer.

[Bobby Bones]

I just told you one of them. You're going to have these robots.

[Amy]

But if you think of online dating, we used to think that was very weird. But it does bring you together with people that you may otherwise never meet.

[Bobby Bones]

But 20 years ago, you could never meet someone online. That's crazy. No, no, no, I would never.

[Amy]

I know, but it's still human to human.

[Bobby Bones]

Not, not until you're together. My only point is the same conversations have been happening for different reasons over the past 70, 80 years.

[Amy]

No, this is a very different conversation.

[Bobby Bones]

What about Lunchbox? Like those Instagram pages of those AI models. They're not real, but they're all like, they look real.

[Lunchbox]

People are idiots that follow them. They're, they're, they're, they're sad.

[Bobby Bones]

But you've looked at them, been like, she's so hot. Like on this show, you've looked at them.

[Lunchbox]

I can say they're hot, but to follow them and look at their pictures, it's like it's not even real. Like, if I looked at the picture, I was like, oh, yeah, that person's. You know, you could say they're, they're hot, but then you're like, oh, it's not real. Okay, move on.

[Amy]

But what about In a magazine if someone's airbrushed filters. It's not real.

[Lunchbox]

That's okay. They're real people. They're real people. They're, they're actual human. They have skin like they are real.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask you this, Amy. What if, if you met a guy and he was like, yeah, it's, he's perfect. But you found at one point that he had had one of those robots and was like doing it with a robot? Yeah.

[Amy]

Well, he's not perfect for like a month. I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you still stay with him?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

But if he was like, I just had one.

[Amy]

No, no, it is not. No.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if it, what if he admitted one time he did it with a robot?

[Amy]

No, no, no, I can't, I, I, No.

[Bobby Bones]

So in case he has. Don't say anything. So if you met somebody who has. Just don't say, don't admit it. Don't admit it.

[Amy]

Right. Don't admit it to me. I'm not as open minded, I guess. Maybe there's some people that be. Okay, no, I have. Okay, what about my mind in a lot of ways?

[Bobby Bones]

What about if he had been to like the Cat house, whatever it's called.

[Amy]

What?

[Lunchbox]

Bunny Ranch.

[Bobby Bones]

Bunny Ranch.

[Amy]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know what that is? I don't want to say, but yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, I've heard of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You go there and they're. What if he admitted to that one time with his buddies, they went to the Bunny Ranch.

[Amy]

Yeah. Well, let's hope he doesn't ever want to go back.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so that's okay.

[Amy]

But those are real people.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, That' where the line was.

[Amy]

Well, I don't like that line. Like I'm not, I'm not pumped about this.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not saying what are you happiest about? Or.

[Amy]

But I mean, at least they were real.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Amy]

And he was with his buddy.

[Bobby Bones]

See, I would think maybe the robot would be even better than the real. Cuz you're paying for the real and that's real. And robots is like, they pay. It's like you're going to Dave and.

[Amy]

Buster maybe, I don't know, whack a mole. Wait, wait, maybe I don't know what the fun. Oh, they pay.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you think they make money?

[Amy]

I thought it was like the mansion, you know, everybody just party.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you party. So, okay, now that you know that it's a bronze.

[Amy]

Ew. Why did you do that? Why did you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. Is that over the line?

[Amy]

It's my first question. Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, all the buddies went and I wanted to see what it was like.

[Amy]

Okay, and what did you think it was like? Okay, see? And then if he's like, oh, I was disgusted. I'd never go back.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to be like, it's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. I want to go over to Stacy in Colorado for a little personal. Tell me something good. Oh, my gosh. Is right. Stacy, you're on. Good morning. Morning. Go ahead. How are you?

[Lunchbox]

We're good.

[Amy]

Morning, studio. Morning. So, yeah, my husband was deployed to California for the wildfires and they're coming home today.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's great. Hey, what, what has he said? Like, yes, like, what's. It's hard to say, like, what's the vibe? Because we know the vibe that it all sucks and it's tragic. But what is he saying about what's happening and why he gets to come home?

[Amy]

They just didn't need their services anymore. He was out there for three weeks, so they're coming home today.

[Bobby Bones]

Is he so exhausted? And what does he do? What are his arrangements when he goes? Because I, I'm so indebted to police officers, firefighters, people that. Yeah, like, what has he been sleeping in?

[Amy]

So they slept in the truck a couple nights. They slept in a horse arena. They did get a hotel like every other night. But, yeah, definitely not ideal. But they kind of just try to house them up where they can.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. And what part of Colorado do you live?

[Amy]

Colorado Springs.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so what's your favorite restaurant in Colorado Springs that you and your husband love to go to?

[Amy]

Oh, I don't, I don't know. We've got a couple.

[Bobby Bones]

We.

[Amy]

There's like a Indian restaurant, a Thai place, a bistro that we've got by our house. But here's what. You don't need to do anything.
