[Bobby Bones]

Wake up Wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, lunchbox, more game two, Scooby, Steve, Red habit trying to put you through M's riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby bone stone. All right, this is Amy's segment.

[Amy]

So according to experts, in order to have better communication with our kids we should be asking them some sock questions. S O C K specific, open ended, creative and kid friendly. And I have a list of the questions and as a parent I feel like this is great but I want to ask them to you, Bobby, like how your day went yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the point of this?

[Amy]

Like when your kid gets in the car, I think a lot of times as a parent your go to is like, so how was your day? And that's just like it's not enough. Like we can be more specific. Like I don't think it has to.

[Bobby Bones]

Be kid then I think this is just general communication because we are so vague we don't even care. We're asking open ended stuff. Fine.

[Amy]

Well as a parent, like we do care me when our kids open up.

[Bobby Bones]

And no I'm saying is the answer.

[Amy]

But when I think of you, you don't give a lot sometimes. Like if we're genuinely wanting to know about you and what's going on. Like if you're in front of the microphone and talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. But you know, at home maybe you could be like, so Bobby, what was the most challenging part of your day and how did you handle it?

[Bobby Bones]

So I guess I'll do yesterday because this day started. Yeah, yesterday, the most challenging part of my day. Well, thank you for asking.

[Amy]

No problem.

[Bobby Bones]

The most challenging part of my day. I think I'm in the middle of a vitamin D deficiency. Season one. I'm not getting any sun. When I did my physical, I had to go do my physical and he was like, you're way low on vitamin D so I'm not getting any sun. And now I can't drink milk. So like something's all. I think I'm having a vitamin D deficiency. Self, self induced. So I think that's the hardest part of my day. I went and got me some vitamin D capsules and I'm seeing if that's it. Okay, thanks for asking.

[Amy]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

So you would have never got that if you said how's it going? I've been like fine.

[Amy]

Right. So did anything surprise you yesterday?

[Bobby Bones]

I would Say, you know what? What surprised me was I was able to. We were talking about sleep earlier. I fell asleep early. I was looking at my sleep tracker here. I fell asleep early, but I woke up like three and a half hours later. So I was a little surprised how early I fell asleep. I'm reading a new book and that gets me, you know.

[Amy]

What are you reading?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty tired. I don't know the name's a book. We just did this on a different podcast. I don't know the name of books or songs, but I can tell you.

[Amy]

It'S not fourth wing because that's what.

[Bobby Bones]

How's that going for you, by the way?

[Amy]

It's good. I really like it. Like, I'm in, like now I'm gonna have to read all five books in the series. I think three of them are out.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you done though, with the book?

[Amy]

No, I'm not done.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Nope. I am reading the Life Impossible by Matt Haig because I read his other book, the Midnight Library, and so I'm reading this one.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Thank you for asking.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Any more questions?

[Amy]

Yes. Did you help someone yesterday or get help from someone?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, yeah, I help somebody, I think. I mean, I went to Sonic and I got me a water because I like the waters with nerds and cherries and fruit in it. And I tipped a Sonic car up a hundred bucks. What?

[Amy]

Wow, so generous. Okay, so you did help somebody. Okay. Did you have any interesting conversations with your friends or teachers yesterday? In your case, maybe a mentor?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't have a mentor.

[Amy]

Oh. A boss.

[Bobby Bones]

And I rarely have friends, so shut up.

[Amy]

You have friends.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? Okay, I'll give you an interesting one. It's going to be on the podcast today because we did. We have a show called Lots to say. It's Matt Castle, the NFL quarterback, and I used to play in the NFL for years. @ the very beginning, he was talking about all the teams he played for and he played for, got drafted by the Patriots, went to the Chiefs, Vikings, briefly with Buffalo and played with Dallas and started some games with the Cowboys. And so he was talking about of all the teams, the only thing he does team he doesn't have anything from is the Cowboys. He doesn't have a helmet or any of the jerseys. But every other team he had kept something from and he regretted that. I'm not kidding you. I saw a game issued jersey of his online and I bought it last week to give him as a gift. I had that at the house to give him as a gift. That day.

[Amy]

He Said that and you didn't know that?

[Mark Seale]

No.

[Amy]

Before you bought it, nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Complete weird coincidence. And I was like, how does this. So I had a game issue jersey that they put in his locker that someone had taken and sold it, and I bought it and gave it to him.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So that was the interesting conversation where that just happened to all have to fall like that. It's on today's episode where it was not set up at all. And I was like, oh, my God, this is crazy. All right, give me one more question.

[Amy]

Okay. What was the most interesting thing you learned yesterday?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I've been reading the last couple days about Canton's hierarchy of infinity, which there are different ways to measure infinity, which I never knew about. And so you would think infinity is only measured one way. There can't be a bigger infinity than smaller infinity. So I've been reading about that and it kind of broke my mind for a little bit. But then I go into chat GBT and like, explain it. Like I'm five. And then they do. And so now that's what I've been reading about, that infinity can be measured in different ways. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

[Amy]

Really? I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either. And how. But then I kind of learned his theory, and that's what I learned.

[Amy]

So because some infinities are smaller, does that mean that. But it's still going on forever.

[Bobby Bones]

It's exactly the paradox of an infinity that is bigger or smaller because an infinity goes on forever. But he proved that infinity can't be bigger. I can explain it to you off the air because.

[Nathan King]

Yeah, I'm lost.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay.

[Amy]

Like this. We. We had more of a conversation than we would have if I just said, so how was your day?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because.

[Amy]

And that's what happens when kids get in our cars. Like, and then we're sort of sitting there driving like, man, I wish they would open up a little bit more. But if you get specific and you stay open ended and you get a little creative, then. And kid friendly, of course, with you, we could go adult.

[Bobby Bones]

That sounds good.

[Nathan King]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, thanks. Those are sock questions. You can probably look those up. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Mark Seale]

Last week, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Ashton is going into labor. She's like, honey, we gotta go. You gotta drive me to the hospital. The babies are coming. Hurry, hurry, hurry. And they drive and they pull up in the hospital circular drive. And she's like, the baby's coming out. You gotta hurry up. Go, Go. He runs to get a security guard in a wheelchair. When the security guard gets to the car, he notices the baby's coming. He gets down, puts his hands down, catches the baby.

[Bobby Bones]

He's been waiting his whole life for this. That security guard's waiting his whole life for this moment.

[Mark Seale]

But then here's this crazy part. The umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck three times.

[Amy]

What?

[Mark Seale]

And the security guards, like, I've had EMT training. I know what to do. Uses his fingers to press on it, loosen it, unwrap the umbilical cord.

[Bobby Bones]

I try to do, like, I do my phone chargers and just leave it. I'll try to undo that. Sometimes I'm like, ah, too much work. I'm just gonna leave it plugged in. Crazy. That one. He had EMT training. Two that he had to, like, be. Get. Get in there. That's not his. In there.

[Mark Seale]

No, no, no. He's just there to protect the hospital.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, I mean, I'm talking about in there.

[Nathan King]

In there.

[Mark Seale]

Yeah. But the cool part is he did go to their room later and meet the baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Nathan King]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. They're very fortunate that it was him with that training that also didn't freak out when he got in there.

[Mark Seale]

And I should shout him out. His name is Marco Edmondson.

[Bobby Bones]

You butchered that a little bit, probably.

[Mark Seale]

But he's a security guard in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the hospital, so thank you to him at St. Francis Hospital. So he knows who he is.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Over to Amy with the morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

[Amy]

What do you call a fibbing cat?

[Bobby Bones]

A fibbing cat. What?

[Amy]

A lion.

[Bobby Bones]

A lion. Got it. That was the morning Corny. Morgan, your mom watched my comedy special?

[Amy]

Yeah, she did.

[Bobby Bones]

Did she, like, record it and then watch it back?

[Amy]

Yeah, she. She loves to record stuff. There's all kinds of things on her dvr, but she recorded this, and she's.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you know what?

[Amy]

I watched Bobby's comedy special yesterday, and I laughed out loud.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's very nice of her.

[Amy]

She loved it. She even gave me a rating on Am I gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm either gonna think she's lying or that she hates me. There's really no positive for me hearing a rating, because if it's really good, I'm gonna go, okay. She's lying just to be nice, and if it's bad, I'm like, well, she must not get the Jokes or she hates me, but go ahead.

[Amy]

Well, I did. I prompted her. I was like, if you give it a rating, what would you give? And she goes, five out of five safety pins.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I believe, I believe her.

[Amy]

Then she said it was fun to listen to the stories, like me working on the show and having met you a few times, getting to like hear some of the other stories, that she just loved it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, thanks for telling me that. And everybody that watching on cmt, thank you. We're gonna release it a different way. We just. I just gotta figure out how I'm gonna do that because I can't let it die now. Apparently people in Kansas love it. Morgan's mom. Yeah, Bones. You know, you often ask, hey, what can we invest in now that's gonna be worth a whole lot of money in the future?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

People flip LEGO sets like crazy because when they put out these sets, they're pretty limited as to what the theme is. So if it's like Lion King legos, there's only a certain amount of them. I got on this whole thing on TikTok because like memorabilia, where there are LEGO flippers that buy these sets and they set on them for like a year and then resell them at like 150%.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, not like 10 times. But Lego flippers are a thing. And people also will target and steal Legos. Thieves used a U haul truck to hit this place that stores and sells LEGO sets. They got about $10,000 worth of Lego sets. You don't really think about Legos as being like, you know, part of crime. But here is the owner of that place, Scott Nelson, talking about the burglary.

[Nathan King]

About $10,000 worth of Lego, a lot of high end retired collectible sets. I think they were literally in here under five minutes. But we're pretty sure that they had been in the store before. Looked how easy it was to probably take these particular items. This hasn't been an unusual thing in the LEGO community for the last few years. There have been smash and grabs targets, Walmar, all the big box stores, and now have all their LEGO locked up.

[Bobby Bones]

Legos are valuable. That's the thing I would tell you, like, if you must do this, buy Legos. And if you hold them for a year, like limited edition sets, you can sell them back for more because they're not making any more Legos. I mean, so much so that again, people are targeting LEGO stores. I mean, how sad do you have to be to target a LEGO store? You can't go to bank.

[Amy]

Maybe they Diversify.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think diversifying is really what these burglars are doing. They're probably just finding vulnerable places and going after them. So they're looking at, like, camera footage. They want to put whoever took the bricks behind bars. Katu, with that story there. Did you ever use Legos as a kid?

[Amy]

No, not at all. My nephew is so good though. Like, he. He'll dial in and he'll do this entire really complicated set, and his brain just works that way to where he can do it so fast.

[Bobby Bones]

What about Legos? Does a parent ever step on them? Do your kids ever get them?

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean, it's pretty painful.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that a thing in your house? Anything in your house?

[Nathan King]

All the four boys every day? Yeah. Well, we have so many Legos that used to be sets but are now all just pieces all over the house.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you can't even tell them now. They're all mixed up.

[Amy]

I need to actually see if my nephew has any of these.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they need to be sealed, though. Yeah, you can't use them.

[Amy]

Definitely. They're definitely not sealed. He. He gets it as a gift and starts putting it together right away.

[Bobby Bones]

A guy In Maryland won $50,000 in the lottery, but waited six months to cash it in. Just days before it would expire. He said, I just wanted to hold on to it, but I sure was excited about it. Lunchboxes are lottery expert. If you hit for $50,000, how long until you'd be cashing that thing in?

[Mark Seale]

12 hours max. Yeah, because, I mean, the drawing happens, and I assume the lottery opens at like, 9 the next morning.

[Bobby Bones]

You're saying from the night, you just can't get in?

[Mark Seale]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What if you want to scratch off at noon?

[Mark Seale]

As long as it takes me to get to the lottery office. 10 minutes, 12 minutes, 8 minutes, whatever. I'm going straight there. There's no. Oh, let me hold onto it for six months. Why? What's the point?

[Bobby Bones]

A Prince George county man claimed a $50,000 pick five prize. And they waited because no one ever cashed in. And just days, like two days before it expired, he was like, hey, I won this. I would never be able to sit on this.

[Mark Seale]

But why would you want to sit on it? Dude, it's like the point of playing the lottery is to win money. It's not to wait six months to get your money back. It's like, hey, I won. Let's go get it. What's he doing?

[Bobby Bones]

The married father maxed the numbers. When the lucky player saw I won, he celebrated by jumping up and down and then put his stick in the drawer and didn't share the news with anybody.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

With anybody.

[Mark Seale]

That's stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

That's w. He didn't even tell me until yesterday. Said the winner's wife. Oh, my God. I'd be afraid someone would throw that thing out. Like, I would go and look at it every hour just to make sure it was still there and put. Until I put it in. Do you know where the lottery office is in town?

[Mark Seale]

No, because I've never had to go.

[Amy]

Yeah, but you should know, just in case you need.

[Bobby Bones]

You should manifest yourself, drive by it over and. I don't even believe manifesting, but you could just, like, drive by it over and over again. Figure it out, find out where it.

[Amy]

Is, like, and picture yourself walking in.

[Mark Seale]

Maybe I'll go in and talk to him. What's it feel like to cash in a ticket?

[Bobby Bones]

What's the biggest ticket you ever saw come in? Like, that's interesting. I don't know if they can talk to you, but that's interesting. The doomsday fish ended up washing up on a beach. Now, researchers believe. Well, the legend is a doomsday fish only washes up on the beach wherever if something really bad is going to happen. So this happened a couple years ago. It happened the other day. Here is some audio of what researchers believe about the doomsday fish.

[Amy]

Doomsday fish just washed up on a Southern California beach. It's an oarfish, which is extremely rare. But still, two have washed up in SoCal since August. In Japanese folklore, the doomsday fish was said to come before earthquakes. But researchers say there's hardly a connection between these fish showing up and the occurrence of earthquakes. Orfish usually live in the mesopelagic zone, which is one of the least explored areas of the ocean that's more than 3,000ft deep. And researchers say they usually only come to the surface when they're sick, dying, or disoriented.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So something had to happen down there deep, where they're like, we're getting the crap out of here. And then something so bad that they end up washing up. Like, it looks like a gar. From, like, when we used to fish, we'd see a go. You never wanted to catch a gar, but an or fish I'm not super familiar with, if you were to see it in the water, you would think it was a snake.

[Amy]

Yeah, it looks like a snake.

[Bobby Bones]

And so the one that has washed up recently was on a beach in Mexico. Hers was that last one in California. But that's what they think they come up for because there's something bad, bad happening down below, so they're trying to get out of town. So also, I'd like to say this. I'd like to apologize to everybody because I watched finally, the full clip of that plane landing because they. They put it up after the show ended yesterday. They lied to us. It didn't roll over because of wind. That pot. They hit the ground hard. Like, butt hit, and it went boom. Aflame.

[Nathan King]

It was on fire.

[Bobby Bones]

It was on fire. That was the crash. When we were told about it, they were like, icy Runway, very windy. It rolled over. No. When you finally got the footage of whomever was sitting in the car recording it from their phone, that thing lands and butt hits and flames. So the guy that was on the show yesterday, I wouldn't go to work either. It was like, I have a work trip.

[Nathan King]

Got to get on a plane to Mexico.

[Amy]

Backing out now, especially now that the.

[Bobby Bones]

Doomsday fish was in Mexico. Well, it doesn't. It doesn't wash up. North America. Yeah. Cuz that's Toronto. Yeah. That plane, they misled us because they made it seem like it landed icy Runway. Wind blew it over. No, no. It catches fire as soon as its butt slaps the ground. So I'd like to apologize to everybody. I now say it was a crash. Nobody died, though. Thank God. That also tells you, like, things can happen. And those planes are built in a way that most times when there's an incident, people are able to survive and nobody died. Nothing got. I mean, boom, Fire.

[Nathan King]

You see the video of the people getting out of there?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Nathan King]

Upside down.

[Bobby Bones]

Upside down.

[Amy]

The flight attendant's like, please hurry. Don't worry about your things. Just get out.

[Arturo Castro]

I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps.

[Amy]

You don't plant a garden and then just walk away and expect it to thrive. You are in there pulling out the weeds. You're pruning it, you're watering it.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to hear about Tom Brady's testicle?

[Amy]

Okay, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, good. So we do this segment on our podcast called Lots to say. And so Matt Castle was the backup for Tom Brady. And then when Brady got hurt, he played a whole season. So that was Matt's entry as Brady goes down game one. And then Matt Castle, starting quarterback, then goes to the Chiefs. On and on. But we do this bit called Goat Stories where we talk about people that we've worked alongside. They're like the goats in their world. And I told a real fun Ryan Seacrest story. And then he told a Tom Brady story. Here you go.

[Mark Seale]

This is my rookie year, and we're playing Tampa Bay at home. Third quarter in the game. He comes off and he's standing up on the sideline. I see him, he starts wincing. And I said, tommy, you okay? He yeah, I just got a lot of pain down low. We ended up winning that game. But we go into the locker room, his locker's next to me, and he's like, oh, my God. His left testicle was the size of a grapefruit. Did it look like a helmet? Trainer comes in, they go in, and I don't know what the heck they had to do, but he had a sports hernia that opened up and was leaking fluid down into that area. And he goes and plays in the playoffs. Now. I was like, what are you going to do about this? And all he said was, I'm going to put on two jock straps. Pretty wild.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a goat. How about that? It was so big. Like, he noticed it. And so they won a playoff game. They ended up losing a playoff game after that, but it was, like, super swollen. But that's his goat story, which I thought was hilarious. Yeah. The podcast is called Lots to Say so. Check it out. It's our NFL show with Matt Castle, but I did not expect to go deep into Tom Brady's testicle that day.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And that story can't be told unless you're right there looking at it. And their lockers right next to each other. I want to play a voicemail from Karen in Pennsylvania.

[Amy]

I have a game suggestion and a question. My question is, what happened to the employee of the month segment? We haven't heard that in a really long time. And my game suggestion is Morgan vs. Mike D in Marvel trivia. Let me know your thoughts. Love the show. Studio.

[Bobby Bones]

We do employ the quarter. Now, we were doing employee of the month every month, and it was just all the time, and I was having to deal with that. So we do employ the quarter. So I'm sure, what, January, February. We'll do one in March. Perfect. And then Marvel trivia. Yeah. If there's ever something they're playing for or a shocker if they lose, we'll. That'll be a fun game. Appreciate that. Go James in Virginia. Hey, morning, Bobby. Money Studio. It's been a while since we've heard anything about Eddie smoking hot chickens at one point meeting with somebody from Costco or Sam's club who are interested in carrying his product.

[Amy]

I don't know if we ever got.

[Bobby Bones]

An update on how that meeting turned out or if he sold his recipe.

[Amy]

So, Eddie, what up with Eddie's smoking hot chicken?

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, I love Bob Boss family. You're awesome. Bye, Eddie.

[Nathan King]

Yeah, I mean, I did meet with Kroger. Not any of those other places. It was Kroger. We had a meeting. I told. I pitched my chicken to him, and they said, chicken's just not a good investment for us, so they pass on the chicken. And that really kind of just stopped my operations, man. Just kind of just.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't have an operation.

[Nathan King]

I took him a chicken.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we didn't have an operation. And I don't think you have the ip. Like, there's nothing. You own the intellectual property. You were just making a chicken.

[Nathan King]

Yeah, I guess the recipe I kind of own, but they didn't want the recipe. They do rotisserie chickens.

[Bobby Bones]

Whatever. That's basically what you were doing.

[Amy]

But you talked about maybe doing a rub. Yeah. You know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Nathan King]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But why do you take one.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

And just stop.

[Nathan King]

I didn't. I just stopped for the moment. That was last year. And then my dad passed away right after that, so like.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, hold on. I know.

[Nathan King]

No, no, I'm serious. Our meeting was Going to be the week that my dad passed and I had to call CRO Kruger from the hospital because they called me 10 times. Are we doing this meeting?

[Bobby Bones]

I said, but you had the meeting. The first meeting. This is the sec.

[Nathan King]

The follow up meeting on the rubs that Amy was talking about. And then I just had to say, like, hey, guys, I'm just dealing with something. I will come back full circle. And we never did that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. He never did. I can't let him use his dad as an excuse.

[Amy]

They called ten times.

[Nathan King]

They did.

[Bobby Bones]

And if that's true, they really wanted it. And then you'd be a. To not.

[Amy]

Not call them back. Once you're finished grieving.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Oh, no. Why? You're grieving. Who cares? No. No.

[Amy]

Well, sometimes it's hard. You have to, like, put things to the side. You don't.

[Nathan King]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I would do it. I'd grieve and I'd make the call.

[Amy]

It's a call that was all really sudden, like, Eddie, I like this conversation.

[Nathan King]

This is what I was going through right there.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, my mom died and I was like, I gotta keep working and I gotta grieve.

[Amy]

You process differently.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, if I had a rub, I'd process differently. Yeah.

[Nathan King]

I mean, let's call it a seasoning rub. Sounds weird.

[Bobby Bones]

But you never called him back.

[Nathan King]

I did call him back and say, hey, let's just, just. Just push things off a little bit. I'll get back to you when things are together and I'm working on a few things.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just slow roll, slow rocking. I'm totally working on anything. I'm working on a few things. You're not.

[Amy]

Like what?

[Nathan King]

Seasonings.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

You are.

[Nathan King]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Called like, Eddie's smoking.

[Bobby Bones]

He's going to make something up.

[Amy]

Seasoning.

[Nathan King]

What do you mean, make something up?

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Is Eddie full of crap?

[Mark Seale]

Eddie is full of crap, dude. Like, if you. Right, right when you get back from your dad's, like, you came back to work, so then you're done grieving, you call Kroger and say, hey, let's have that meeting. But here we are. I mean, I don't know. Your dad died four months ago and you're still working on it. So what were you gonna say in that meeting? Hey, I don't have anything for you.

[Nathan King]

No, I had something. We just. It was a whole presentation I had to come up with and I didn't have. I wasn't ready for all that.

[Amy]

Let's be clear. Grieving never ends.

[Mark Seale]

Hold on. So he wasn't ready for that. So his dad dying really saved him because he didn't have anything to present.

[Nathan King]

It's kind of weird way to look.

[Bobby Bones]

At it, but also when I understand. Interesting. Well, he's not doing anything. James. We appreciate that call.

[Amy]

He is. He says he's working on something.

[Bobby Bones]

Trust me, he ain't.

[Mark Seale]

Amy, it's dead.

[Amy]

I think he might be.

[Bobby Bones]

That.

[Mark Seale]

That.

[Bobby Bones]

That.

[Mark Seale]

That ship is sailed.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. He's dead.

[Amy]

That's hardcore dead.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a rough way to say that. Hey, dude, I'm sorry about your dad. That sucks. Guys like that just take bones from the New York Post. A doctor charges $6,000 per eye to change the eye color forever. An ophthalmologist. 3.4 million followers on TikTok has gone viral due to a specialization that changes people's eye color. The procedure changes the color of the eye by injecting pigment into the cornea, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, also referred to as eye tattooing. The process permanently changes the cornea from clear to opaque and covers over the natural iris color inside. So basically, the ink then covers up the iris. 6,000 per eye. One that's weird to an injection into the eye feels really painful. And can you numb that? Can you numb an eyeball and then 312 grand to change your eye color? Is eye color even that important, Amy?

[Amy]

No. I mean, not to me. I don't want to mess with my eyes. Like, I. What. What if something goes wrong and then now I can't see just because I wanted my iris opaque.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's how I feel too, about people that tattoo their eyelashes or tattoo their whatever, like eyeliner on. And again, that's safer because you're not going into the eye. But, man, it sure is close.

[Amy]

Yeah, but it's a little different.

[Bobby Bones]

It is different, but it sure is close. If there's a mess up, it pokes you right in the eyeball. But I don't think I would change my eye color. I don't even have good eye color. Mine's just like, blue, green or something.

[Amy]

Yeah, people do contacts. I mean, that's just like a safer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't want to get injected in the eyeball.

[Amy]

Safer.

[Bobby Bones]

Vet Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco bought a $35 million home in Beverly Hills. And this is why he does stuff like tortilla cheap chips leading to a bathtub full of nachos. When you have that much money, you got to do crazy things in order to impress the other person. But they went all in For a Spanish style house with seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms for $35 million. The resort light grounds comes with structures including a library and a grand swirling staircase, a glass greenhouse, solarium, a fitness center and a pool. It's been owned by other famous people, but $35 million for the house.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

You think they have a mortgage?

[Amy]

I don't know. I wonder what their financial people advise them. Depending on rates. Probably not, because the rates are so high. I would imagine if rates are really low, they may say.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's they? Yeah. Wash your legos. They say. From Reader's Digest. We're talking about Legos. Recently, parents, they say, wash your kids Legos because germs can linger on plastic for months. And these things can harbor different bacteria and diseases. And you don't have to scrub each piece by hand. You can disinfect them by putting them in a mesh bag on the top shelf of your dishwasher and washing them like dishes. Just run normal cycle. Okay, Reader's Digest, again with that story. There's a whole story from career builder about annoying co workers. What makes a co worker annoying? Okay, the top reasons. Okay, go ahead. You're fired up. Give me one. No, what makes a co worker annoying.

[Amy]

If they don't pull their weight.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, can agree with that.

[Amy]

That would be annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What makes a co worker annoying?

[Nathan King]

Someone that kind of bothers you while you're trying to work all the time. Like, talk to you.

[Mark Seale]

Lunchbox suck ups.

[Amy]

Oh, oh, oh. Someone that eats stinky food.

[Bobby Bones]

See, I feel like you're all taking shots at each other. But veiled.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

No, he or she is a downer or is always negative. Is number one. I think we have one of those. Number two, they're incredibly nosy and love to gossip.

[Mark Seale]

That's Eddie. Look at that nose.

[Nathan King]

He is.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that could be. No, it's not physical nose, but I think that could be both. Both of you. The next one. They bring smelly food. That's Eddie.

[Nathan King]

Eddie, that's boiled eggs.

[Bobby Bones]

They leave common areas a mess and don't clean up. That's Lunchbox. They blame others. That's Lunchbox.

[Amy]

Both of them. A little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

I would say everybody probably does it a little bit. This is like, who does it the most? Okay, who does it the most?

[Amy]

Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

And then pass the buck when it comes to responsibility.

[Amy]

Go.

[Nathan King]

And Amy, answer that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Amy, answer that one.

[Amy]

I. I don't. I think he does what he's supposed to do.

[Nathan King]

Do you. What is that?

[Amy]

I think if y'all are looking to.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm not saying. I just asked what you thought.

[Amy]

I. Well, I think that the elephant in the room right now would be.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no elephant with me. Okay.

[Amy]

I think he does exactly what he's supposed to do. And when there's something like technology, he needs to ask for help, which he does.

[Bobby Bones]

From Guinness World Records, an 87 year old man in Oklahoma just scored the Guinness record for the largest brick collection. He has 8,882 different bricks. So it's not like a house built of 10,000 bricks, but it is 8,882 different bricks. Who knew there were that many different bricks? But he's from Tulsa. He's been collecting bricks for the last 40 years and he says each brick tells its own story. That's a lot of stories. That's a lot of bricks. He's a retired mathematical engineer and real estate developer, so. Smart guy. He has a storage facility full of all these bricks. Dang. And then finally, a child shoots and kills two home intruders in self defense. From wsaz, a child shot and killed two men during a home invasion in Kentucky. According to Kentucky State Police, Troopers were dispatched to the home 4:30am Saturday. There was reports of a shooting. When they arrived, they found two men with gunshot wounds. Jeremy Allen, 51, and Roger Smith, 44. They were both pronounced dead. Police said the two men had broken into the home with the intention of stealing firearms. During the break in, a juvenile living in the home saw the men holding firearms acting in self defense. Police said the child retrieved a handgun and shot both men before escaping through a bedroom window. Police did not give the exact age of the child who was shot or who shot the alleged intruders. Wow. They say child, so I'm thinking 12 or under.

[Amy]

Well, then it's a juvenile.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think that's anybody under 18 though, because you go to juvie at nine.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. I didn't know what makes juvie because when you first said child shot intruders, I'm like, were they four?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I, I would think it's nine or younger, but I don't know. But also, don't break into somebody's house, like play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[Amy]

And obviously if those people are breaking in to steal firearms, it's a home that maybe they're used to having around. The child knew how to use it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like that's what you get. That sucks. People had to die. But if you're breaking in somebody's house and you're a threat, good for this kid for knowing how to use a firearm and protecting himself and possibly his.

[Amy]

Family members psychologically at such a young age to have to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

The age at which child can be sent to juvenile detention varies by state. In general, children under eight are not considered mature enough to be held criminally responsible. There are exceptions for serious offenses in Florida. No one under seven can be arrested, charged, or adjudicated unless they've committed a forcible felony. There's always an unless. So you can't at seven unless. So that's crazy. Yeah, that sucks. The whole story sucks. But I'm glad that kid knew what to do. And then he wasn't found. And then something bad happened to him. That's the news. Those were Bobby's big stories. This guy forged his grandparents death certificate to get off work. They didn't really die, but he proved to them they were dead by their certificate. I can't come in. You guys ever do anything to not go to work? Not here?

[Amy]

Of course not.

[Bobby Bones]

Because if you guys are sick, stay home. I have no interest in anybody. If you look if you're not even good. You having a bad day? I'm good if you stay home.

[Amy]

What did you find out? My dad's alive and I took like two weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

That's exactly what happened here. So he requested time off and his supervisor was like, what for? And he's like, well, my grandparents died bereavement.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then the supervisor said, can I see their death certificate? So I'm thinking this guy wasn't a good worker anyway. Because if any of you guys said anybody died, I wouldn't be like, I'm gonna need to see that death certificate.

[Amy]

Yeah, that'd be crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm thinking this guy probably had some issues in the past. Anyway, so then he forged the document for his grandfather on his laptop and there was a QR code. He made the whole thing. You go to it like he went through all the effort. Wow, he forged a death certificate. Can be fined $10,000 or jailed because that's a government document, so. Ever lied to get out of work? Let's say back in the day? Lunchbox. I feel like you got a few of these.

[Mark Seale]

I mean, I always lie about being sick or I have a project at school or something like that. But one time I called in sick with this girl that we worked at Walmart together, and she just told him, oh, my grandma died. And then they said, okay, give us the funeral home, we're gonna send flowers.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that was their way of saying, get us the Death certificate. And do you think they trust. Do you think they were checking her or they trusted her and were being nice?

[Mark Seale]

I think they were being nice. We were sitting there going, oh, my gosh, what do we do? What do we do?

[Bobby Bones]

What do we do? What did you do?

[Mark Seale]

She just gave him a funeral home in her hometown.

[Nathan King]

They got flowers like, what are these for?

[Bobby Bones]

Who's Gertrude? Eddie, you have anything?

[Nathan King]

Well, I called in sick and what I did was really bad. I've never. I've never talked about this, but I was working for the news station and I called in sick because I got offered to shoot a wedding and I was on call, so I took the job and I went and I shot a wedding. I was in the news van and everything and.

[Bobby Bones]

You took the news van?

[Nathan King]

Oh, yeah. Because that was with me. Like, that was my car when I was on call. So I went to the wedding, parked it right in front of the venue, and everyone's like, wow, the news is covering the wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's funny.

[Nathan King]

But my job thought I was sick.

[Amy]

Amy, I've not.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you.

[Amy]

Yeah, I can't think of anything.

[Nathan King]

Are you just saying that?

[Amy]

Yeah, no, I really have not. I have not.

[Bobby Bones]

When you worked at the weight loss place in college.

[Amy]

No. Why would I do that? Because I'm making. I get paid by the hour. Like, if I didn't show up, I wasn't gonna get paid.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but that's most jobs, I mean.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know, but that's why I had a job and I wasn't working a lot of hours, so I had no reason.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, anything?

[Amy]

Yeah, both Buffalo wild wings and my sheep job that I had.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the Buffalo wild wings excuse?

[Amy]

They were both the same. I called in sick for both of them, but I was actually hungover and I was sick from alcohol poisoning. Not actually like sick sick.

[Nathan King]

That happens.

[Amy]

Yeah, but that's sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's self induced sick.

[Amy]

Self induced sick. Yeah, but still sick.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. Yeah, that's self induced sick. Yeah. No, I would fight through all those things and go to work.

[Nathan King]

Yeah, of course.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Nathan King]

Never do you.

[Arturo Castro]

Oh.

[Nathan King]

Did you think about ever doing it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Mark Seale]

Did you ever have the urge to be like, man, you know what? I could go to the beach or I could go to the lake, go on a. You know, anywhere.

[Nathan King]

No, that didn't sound like Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't have any friends. I think you do stuff. You call in stuff you have friends and stuff you want to do. Yeah, I know. I guess, like, Amy, I never called in to lie. I didn't even, even if I was hurting, I would go to work. I would do the opposite. Everybody's dead. I'm going in anyway. I just turn my head around backward and go in if I'm sick. Go in, go in. Ray, you have anything? Yeah, I mean mine was just school. Back in middle school, a friend's parent died and they said, hey kids, if you, any of you guys are grieving this take off as much school as you need. Open ended grief. Yeah, so me and a buddy, I mean the whole week we would just go to his parents house every day in the afternoon and just said, oh yeah, we're grieving, we just need some more time off.

[Amy]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

That's kind of dirty dog though. But you were young, you haven't done that here.

I started to live a double life when I was a teenager, responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses.

Snakes, Zombies. Public speaking, the list of fears is endless. But the real danger is in your hand. When you're behind the wheel, distracted driving is what's really scary and even deadly. Eyes forward. Don't drive distracted. Brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.

[Bobby Bones]

We're gonna do a special scam alert now. Tax season's coming up. Scammers are gonna be crushing. Like, this is. This is their money making time. And so they want you to believe they're the irs. And so here are some things. Number one, there are reportedly text messages going out that say they need, if you get it, to click a link to receive a $1,400 payment from the IRS. So the scammers are using recent news and the best lies. There's always a shred of truth. In late December, the IRS said it was sending 2.4 million in total to people who didn't get all their federal stimulus checks during the pandemic. So they're using that news story as a way to lure people to clicking the link. But those payments are happening automatically. And the link in the text takes you to a fake site that looks exactly like the official site. The IRS is saying again, the only way they contact anyone is through the postal service, never through texts or emails. Now what I would say, first of all to that, that feels so old. Like if you're only reaching out through mail, like hardcore letter mail. But I'm glad they're saying that because then people know. But we could probably got to change that system too. Oh yeah, I don't ever open an envelope.

[Amy]

Seems like I would think that was scam now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, even like Christmas cards, I don't even open those. I'm like, this could be a scam. CBS News with that story. So two things. One, remember, IRS never gonna ask you to click something. No emails, no texts. And then two, and this is not a commercial. But, like, LifeLock is awesome if for some reason you do click something. And I think the bones. LifeLock.com. bones. I don't know. Who knows? That sounds like a good one. Promo code. Bones over there. Lifelock's awesome, but that's a scam alert. Looking out for you guys. All right, this whole story is about technology addicts having withdrawal. I think if I were an addict, I'd have withdrawal when I put my phone away. That's why I don't think I'm an addict.

[Amy]

But you don't put it away long enough.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure, I put it away for days before literal days.

[Amy]

But did. Did you have access to it? Like, could you. When you put it away for days, like, could you have gone to get it? Or was it.

[Bobby Bones]

But that doesn't matter. If you're taking off drugs, sometimes you can't go get drugs. You still have the same withdrawal symptoms. Phone addiction is running your life. And they talk about how technology addicts suffer the same withdrawal symptoms as heroin addicts. There's no way.

[Amy]

Wow, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

There is no way.

[Nathan King]

Like shakes and all that. That's what they do, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Lee Fernandez, an addiction specialist at uk, an organization that offers inpatient rehab treatment for people struggling with drug issues, alcoholism, and even behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, and the Internet, says in the past five years, he's seen a significant rise in phone, technology and social media addictions. And those who try to quit can suffer from withdrawal symptoms that are as serious as those experienced by drug users trying to quit heroin. Wow. Such as shaking, sweating, and insomnia. I think that's just them throwing a fit. I don't think that's them actually going through. There's no way. There's no way.

[Amy]

What if there was no way? Why would he be saying this? He's witnessing it for clicks.

[Bobby Bones]

And it also. The word is, those who try to quit can suffer. When those little words give you a lot of freedom to say whatever you want. It's like when they have certain products that are like, can promote young skin, can and promote. There's nothing attached to those words. Those are just words that they put. So people think that it's a cure for something sneaky. So when he goes. Those who try to quit can suffer from withdrawal symptoms that are as serious as those experienced by drug users. I'm thinking there's somebody getting off heroin who's also giving up their phone.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

And the guy's like, oh, look, we told you. And that gets clicks. That's why we're reading. There's no way maybe one person ever. But you read stories about people getting off heroin, like having to lock themselves in a room, screaming, sweating. I've never seen anyone. Except when you take a kid's phone away.

[Nathan King]

Ah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a different scream. So I'm going to call BS on this. Only because he used the word can suffer.

[Amy]

Maybe we just don't know a severe phone addict or Internet gambling.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to say gambling or Internet is even a bit different than someone just on social media, because gambling can be an addiction you don't even need your phone for. You just could be an addict having to go to the casino, having a bookie. Like, that's a part of your life. I think that's a. That feels more substantive than someone that can't get off TikTok.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know, but maybe we just don't. We don't know anybody that has it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think this is complete BS that there's. There's no chance that it's anything close to someone getting off heroin.

[Amy]

Yeah. I would definitely put in a different category, but I still think that people may have. If they're getting like. Like a lot of hormones are being released in their body every time. Like, they get a like. That's what I found interesting about that. Did anybody else start that apple cider vinegar that we talked about? That show? So how they do it. Oh, yeah. So how they do it on that. It's. It's a scripted story, but, like, she gets these little hearts and emojis that come out, like, every time she gets a like or a comment on her stuff and she's getting a dopamine hit and she feels it in a different way than, like, anybody here in this room would like. It was just obvious that that fed her problem.

[Mark Seale]

I mean, that's also. The chief's a holic. You watch that. You know what I mean? The guy. And I mean, when he would post something on Twitter and he would just get all excited because all that commented.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I just think it's different than injecting an actual drug into your body, like, significantly.

[Amy]

No, I. Yeah, I get you, but I'm just saying that was a good visualization, seeing how they did it. And she had a mental disorder. But the.

[Bobby Bones]

So she faked she was sick.

[Amy]

She fakes that she had cancer and healed herself through food and started this whole blog and she got a couple million followers, I think, on Instagram.

[Bobby Bones]

Did she fake she had cancer or was her start of her story.

[Amy]

She never had it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no. You're missing my question.

[Amy]

Sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Did she ever have cancer outwardly, even though she was faking it, or was her start was a. I used to have cancer and this is how I beat it. Like, was part of a process ever with people publicly that she had cancer, or was it just. I had cancer and this is how I beat it. This is what I did.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm trying to. I mean, I think out. Lou, she was like, I have a brain tumor.

[Bobby Bones]

Have. So it was in current tense at first.

[Amy]

Yeah. But, like, she never did, like, Scamanda and had herself. Well, I take that back, because she would have her boyfriend drop her off at the hospital for treatment.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Okay, so she. In her store. Her lie, she had it. I didn't know because it would be much easier to do that lie.

[Amy]

You mean just writing about it if.

[Bobby Bones]

You did it all in past tense? Because you don't have to know. She had perpetuate.

[Amy]

She stuck a port in her chest.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah.

[Amy]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, the other part's just a scam. That's crazy in a scam.

[Amy]

Yeah. So she. I think he. She forgot her computer one day, and that's how he found out.

[Mark Seale]

Don't tell everything.

[Nathan King]

Uh.

[Mark Seale]

Oh, goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you spoiling the show? Oh, my God. What are you doing?

[Amy]

I did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you spoiling the show?

[Amy]

It's a true story.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but we don't come on and just scream.

[Amy]

I know. Sorry. You started asking questions, and then I got on a roll. I'm addicted to telling y'all how to shut down.

[Bobby Bones]

She's going through a withdrawal. Oh, no.

[Amy]

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we'll move off that. A treasured Banksy owned by mark Hoppus from Blink 182. You familiar with Banksy the artist? You ever see that documentary, like, Stop at the Gift Shop or whatever it's called? Exit through the Gift Shop. Yeah, it's.

[Nathan King]

No, it's crazy good about Banksy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Nathan King]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember being really good. Right? Yeah, it was good. He is going to auction it off. It could fetch $6 million.

[Nathan King]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

A painting by street artist Banksy with an environmental message and an estimate of up to $6.3 million going up for auction with the. With some of the proceeds benefiting the Los Angeles wildfires. Mark Hoppus is putting it up.

[Nathan King]

Well, it's cool that it's a Banksy. And it's cool that Mark Hopless had it too. His office.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he bought it.

[Nathan King]

But that's cool. Like, you get like, oh, this used to be Blink182, guys. And it's a Banksy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's like a double.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. I'm looking this picture of Mark Hoppus. I thought it was me. He does kind of from a distance because it's far away. I thought it was me with the glasses. Well, he has the glasses on. Yeah. And he's just like a normal white dude. Like, there's generic as can be. Yeah, that would be cool. I really want a Bob Ross. They're so expensive, though.

[Nathan King]

There must be so many, though, right? Because he did one every episode.

[Amy]

Like, how much?

[Bobby Bones]

30,000 on the low, low end.

[Nathan King]

That's expensive. Oh, yeah, that's really expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

I got in an auction for one on, like, that golden app, and I was like, I might get with this for, like, $5,000. And I was in, and all of a sudden, with one minute left, went to like, $47,000. And I was like, I quit. I was like, I'm out. No chance. But that would be awesome to have.

[Nathan King]

A Bob Ross and then find the episode that he painted it on and be like, this is my painting being made on tv.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of them aren't in the episodes. It's just his art.

[Nathan King]

Correct. Because he would do two versions as well. He would do the first version and then he would recreate it on tv.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I'm thinking of the ones. Because I would think anything that was on TV still counts as on tv. Cause I didn't know that. I was thinking just the ones. He wasn't for TV at all. Like, he just painted. He's obviously just a painter, so those count as Bob Ross's too. I didn't know that. Fun fact about the two.

[Nathan King]

Yeah. He'd always, like, come up with it first and then be like, all right, now that I know what I'm gonna do, I can recreate this on tv.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be so legit to have a Bob Ross.

[Amy]

Maybe we'll pitch in.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't.

[Nathan King]

No, don't.

[Amy]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

100 bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We bought you 1% of a bob Ross. You have to get the other 99%. OK. Lobby bone show. Story of the day.

[Mark Seale]

This story comes to us from Kitsap County, Washington. A car was driving down the road when she accidentally cut off a truck, and she said, sorry. Sorry, truck wasn't having it. Pulls up in front of her passenger, leans out the window, pulls out a roman candle, lights it, and start shooting fireworks at her car.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

You shouldn't do that. It's different. It's only funny because it wasn't a gun, and he led us to think it was gonna be a gun. But also for sure, their wrist got a little burnt with sparks.

[Amy]

Yeah. Still dangerous.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I'm saying they took a little bit of that, too. If you're lighting a roman candle and you're holding it out of your car and the wind's blowing, you're getting a little burn back on your wrists. So I don't like it, but it was a half step down from a gun. Nah, that's a whole step down from a gun. What happens then?

[Mark Seale]

She had dash cam video. So they have the license plate of the truck, and they were able to track them down.

[Bobby Bones]

It's very dangerous because a person can wr. Wreck their car. I don't think the roman candle is going to hurt the person if it hits them.

[Nathan King]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

But they can wreck their car because of that. Okay, I'm lunchbox.

[Mark Seale]

That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

We were sitting here yesterday, and we got an amber alert on our phone.

[Nathan King]

Yeah. What do you guys do when you get that? Because I go into detective mode. Like, especially if I'm about to hit the road and I get that amber alert, I'm like, all right, I'm looking for an Oldsmobile.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it matters where it is. I mean, if it's right near me, I'll probably think about it a little longer. But I think they're playing a numbers game where they're sending out everywhere, and they're just hoping someone sees it and basically looks up and sees the person. Right. Because it went to everybody's phone in the room. I'm not sure if you guys got it.

[Amy]

Yeah, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

But Eddie claims he goes and searches for the lost kid. Absolutely. I can't claim that, because I would be lying.

[Amy]

No. I'm like you. I look and I have the information, and I'm like, okay, if I happen to come across this. But a lot of times it's a county over. Or.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And it was yesterday. It was like a county over east Tennessee or something.

[Nathan King]

But. But that is. But when they sent it to you, that means that they could be coming your way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy]

I think it's good to be aware.

[Bobby Bones]

Totally.

[Nathan King]

That's why they sent it to you. Like, don't ignore that they're sending it to you so you could be on the lookout.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think, though, it's a numbers game to where they want to send it to so many people that someone looks at it and in the next 30 seconds, sees the person. Because I don't even. I don't know if it makes me a bad person. I don't remember it after I read it and think about it for a second. Unless it's, like, hitting me three or four times, like, Amber Alert, and it pops up as, like, a headline on some news feed that I have, I'm subscribed to. I don't really remember anything.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But I definitely don't go searching. I don't think you do either, if I'm being.

[Amy]

We talked about it at dinner last night because, well, my daughter hadn't been on her phone much, and, well, this is what happened. She pulled up her phone for the first time. She was like, oh, there was an Amber Alert. And I was like, yeah, that was a while back. She goes, yeah, they're long gone now. She put her phone down, like. But I like that she's paying attention to it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And then it made my son go look. And he's like, we need to make sure. Sort of. He's sort of like, eddie, like, we need to make sure we're on the lookout for this. And my daughter's like, what do you.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember about it then? Private eye.

[Nathan King]

Yeah, it was a little girl, I think she was maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I think. And maybe five years old.

[Nathan King]

What kind of car as an Oldsmobile. And they said that, like, I followed up on it when I got home, and they caught the dad. The dad. They were looking for the dad.

[Bobby Bones]

You actually followed up on it?

[Nathan King]

Of course, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I. I retract part of my making fun of you. So think about it long enough to look it up.

[Nathan King]

So Amy's daughter is wrong. She was not long gone. They caught her dad. She's the girl safe, and the dad's arrested for aggravated kidnapping.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I think we should take 20% of our laughing at Eddie back if he actually followed up. Because I didn't even follow up. I didn't think about it after, like, one minute.

[Amy]

I know, but it's not like he dedicated his day to driving.

[Bobby Bones]

But if he kept thinking about it, though.

[Nathan King]

Look, if I'm on the couch, I'm not gonna get up and be, oh, I gotta go find this girl. Like. But if I'm on the road, I'M looking.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll believe you.

[Nathan King]

Absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll believe you a little bit. All right guys, check out the show podcast. Yeah. Two year old found safe the Bobby Bone show theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry.
