What'd your boyfriend say about the super bowl party?
Amy
He said yeah, we should definitely have one. And then I told him that y' all were like oh, he's probably a fancy wine and cheese, a wine and cheese kind of guy. And then he replied, haha, I'm definitely a chips and salsa kind of guy or something. And then I said and what about beer? And then he listed out the beers he would drink.
Eddie
Okay, what'd he say?
Amy
He said modelo Pacifica. Oh, Mexican beers or Coors Light.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
And he said, I don't do craft beers.
Eddie
All right. Hey, I had him.
Amy
He had him pinned all wrong. That's right. Getting pinned all wrong.
Bobby Bones
So maybe he's not as stuffy as we thought.
Eddie
Maybe not.
Morgan
No.
Amy
And those were. That was a text exchange, like, during the show, like, while I was with y'. All.
Bobby Bones
So does he drink with his pinky up? Like. Like French?
Eddie
Does he drink out of the can, or is he poured in a glass? Oh, good question.
Amy
I don't know.
Eddie
We'll see.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you don't know? You really don't know?
Amy
I really don't know. I mean, I've seen him drink a Pacifico before out of the bottle, but, I mean, who knows? Maybe he pours it in a glass.
Bobby Bones
Are you guys going to watch the super bowl now? As a.
Amy
We are. And then last night. So that was the text. He was like, yeah, I'd love to do something. And then last night with his kids, they were like, oh, yeah. And they're so they're inviting friends over, and now it'll be a whole affair.
Bobby Bones
Modelo for all the kids.
Eddie
Yay.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And Pacifico, is he a puzzle guy?
Amy
Well, yeah, but not the way I do puzzles. I think he might be a puzzle psycho.
Bobby Bones
Oh, more. More. The way you do puzzles.
Amy
I don't know that he does more, but the way he does puzzles. Because I didn't know this about him because we had never worked on a puzzle before until I recently busted one out at my house, and he stopped by, and I was looking at the picture, as most people do.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Because you need to know where the puzzle pieces go. And he's like, oh, you're not allowed to look at the picture.
Eddie
Yes, you are.
Amy
No, he's like, no, you have to just put it together, like, based on what you see. Matches.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if in puzzle competitions, and I'm not sure they have them, but I would bet they do, because there's a competition for everything.
Amy
Apparently, how he grew up in his household, they were not allowed to look at the picture. And I kid you not, he put together more of the puzzle in that, like, 10 minutes that he was working on it than I had done in, like, two days.
Bobby Bones
But what if you never get to see the picture and there's just a bunch of pieces dumped out, so then are you looking for.
Amy
He'd be fine with that.
Bobby Bones
Just holes and colors that match.
Amy
He starts to build the edges based on the color, and he figures it out, and then he starts to go from there. He was quite quick. So I don't know if, because he was raised that way, it just gave him a different brain towards puzzles, but I was like, this is psycho. I have to look at it. I have to or I won't. Like, I want to know. Like, oh, this is that girl's yellow dress.
Bobby Bones
And then official rules on that, probably.
Unknown Male
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, if in a competition, you get to look at the picture or if it's different levels. Like, if you're in the upper level, the double black diamond level, you don't get to see a picture, and they just dump a bunch of pieces and you race.
Amy
Yeah.
Unknown Male
According to The World Jigsaw Puzzle.org, the World Championships, if you're an individual, you're given two puzzles of 500 pieces hidden in a bag. So. So there is no board or box, no picture, and you just pick which one it is, and you put it together.
Eddie
Ooh, that's tough.
Bobby Bones
What if they did, like Dex in Vegas, but they put two puzzles together in the same bag?
Eddie
Brutal, dude.
Bobby Bones
And you had to figure out, that's wrong.
Eddie
That'd be so mean.
Bobby Bones
That's like a Rubik's Cube finder.
Unknown Male
Who.
Bobby Bones
Like those kids that can. There's something in their brain that's different than what we have. The ability to have two puzzles. You don't know either of the pictures, but they're in the same bag, and all the pieces are mixed, Dude.
Eddie
My sister got me a puzzle that was called the impossible puzzle, And. And it was. They were all clear pieces and no picture. Like, it's. There's nothing. It's just. They're all clear. And I'm like, I don't. I put two pieces together, and I was like, I'm done. I got to quit. I can't do this.
Bobby Bones
So that's all looking at the shapes in the holes. Got it.
Eddie
Which is, like, you really just have to try every single shape and hole, like, until you find a match.
Bobby Bones
A puzzle is about getting to the final picture. I'm not good at that. I like to get there. It doesn't matter if it's a book, if it's a movie. I want to know what the ending is. I need the payoff I don't have. I probably would, but I haven't developed the patience for a puzzle. I think it could be extremely healthy, something to focus on, because whenever I was, like, super stressed or I would play video games, but it was because it would take my mind off of what was stressing me out. But Then I hurt my ankle, and it couldn't go upstairs anymore, so I stopped. I haven't played a video game in four months.
Eddie
Wow.
Unknown Male
Oof.
Eddie
You think you'll go back?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Kind of like my streak right now. But my boys aren't like, let's play. Cause now they're not used to me playing, so they're not playing. I love a streak. I mean, I do love a streak.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
The puzzle, I think. I mean, you'd probably get a little obsessed. Because I get obsessed, and I'm not like that.
Bobby Bones
I just want. I would want to be the best. I'd start training.
Amy
Well, then. Yeah. Then would you look at the picture.
Eddie
Or picture for you then?
Bobby Bones
Well, at first I probably would, and then I would get myself in shape to where I wouldn't need to, because first of all, your fingers. I probably don't have it in me finger wise.
Eddie
Oh, you got to warm yourself up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And then it's just getting back in the puzzle groove.
Amy
Yeah. I just didn't know there were puzzle people like that.
Eddie
The dolly one that you gave me, it had like a sticker on one corner, and it was bugging me because I'm like, I need to see what's under that sticker.
Amy
Oh, yeah. Like the box had a sticker.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Oh, that's smart. Well, sometimes on the back, it'll have a smaller image.
Eddie
I didn't, though. And it was driving me nuts.
Bobby Bones
Peel it.
Eddie
No, it was. It wasn't.
Amy
It was like, built in sticker built in.
Eddie
Like it's whatever.
Amy
Like 25th edition.
Eddie
Yes, that's what it was.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if you saw yesterday, but TMZ said they got a ransom note for the mom. The mom's name is Nancy Guthrie. So TMZ posted this.
Eddie
We got something in our email that looks like a ransom note for Savannah Guthrie's mother. Specific request.
Unknown Male
And they're very.
Eddie
Certain amounts of money. Very specific. And also they say at the bottom, there are certain things they're saying about what she was wearing and damage to the house. Clearly saying to verify it's us.
Bobby Bones
So if you hadn't heard, Savannah's Guthrie. Savannah Guthrie's mom went missing a couple days ago. And then they started saying the word homicide. Then they started saying kidnapping. Then they were investigating. And then TMZ said they got this email that was a ransom note. So that happened yesterday. And then Ashley Banfield, who is a reporter, was talking about this, and she said, and this is another twist that the husband of Savannah's sister. So that would be. The son in law of the missing woman is a prime suspect.
Amy
The last point of contact with Nancy Guthrie was when she was dropped off by her daughter at 9:45ish at night on Saturday night. Sunday morning 11:00am Church members reached out to the family. Hey, your mom wasn't in church. Not normal. She's always there. What's up? Family member or members goes to the house, calls 911 and the investigation begins. But they have towed Annie Guthrie's car. And there is some connection to Annie Guthrie's car and Nancy Guthrie's son in law. And my law enforcement source tells me Thomas Oscione is the prime suspect in this case.
Bobby Bones
So that's the son in law. This information has not been confirmed by the Pima county sheriff's department. But they always look at family first. And again, that was Ashley Banfield with that. What are your thoughts on that?
Amy
I mean, well, probably because it's fresh on my mind, I immediately go to the Elizabeth Smart documentary. And yes, family is. They're always first.
Bobby Bones
But in that documentary, they were wrong.
Amy
I know they were wrong. So that's what I mean. I'm not. I'm holding out. Like, I'm like, oh, okay. Well, obviously they have to take a look at him. And the daughter was the last one to go to dinner. Now, she's not the suspect, her husband is, but still they've towed her car. They need to collect information. This all makes sense. Maybe he is involved and maybe he's completely innocent.
Bobby Bones
Savannah Guthrie's pulled out of the Olympics, obviously. Yeah. Her mom's missing, but that's where it is. Now. When I saw the TMZ stuff, I was like, dang.
Amy
Which. They're investigating the validity of that note. Like, that's not. It's a. It's an alleged ransom note.
Bobby Bones
Correct. But even as TMZ said, there were things in that note that you had to be somehow inside to know. To know.
Amy
Right? Sort of. Well, I don't want to give me the way in case people are watching the Elizabeth Smart documentary. But there's. There was stuff that wasn't known in the public that then happened again. And it's like, okay, so this has to be the same person.
Bobby Bones
Thoughts, boys?
Eddie
Man, I can't believe that TMZ got the ransom note. If it's a real ransom note, like of all the outlets sent it to tmz. That's surprising to me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So maybe it doesn't feel as real.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
Maybe it feels like somebody just trying to Play a little prank?
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
It's not funny.
Unknown Male
But do they get in trouble for that if they send a fake ransom note? If they're not involved at all, yes.
Bobby Bones
They do get in trouble, especially if you use government resources to investigate the fact there was a ransom note.
Unknown Male
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, man, that's.
Unknown Male
So the brother in law. Like, that's shocking to me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I didn't really get all they were saying about why he could have possibly been involved.
Unknown Male
Right. They didn't really make. They didn't really give any details of if they had beef or if they were angry.
Bobby Bones
I need a sketch. I always feel better about a case if I see a sketch.
Unknown Male
Oh, well, I got a picture.
Bobby Bones
I don't have a sketch. I don't even want to see a picture. I need to see a sketch.
Unknown Male
And TMZ reached out to the brother in law. He has not responded.
Eddie
Right, Right.
Bobby Bones
I don't know that I would respond to either except to say I didn't do it. That's all I'm saying. Because you could say anything and they could twist it all up. But, man, I'm telling you, if I didn't do it and I was accused of it, I would be on Instagram going, what's happening? I didn't do this.
Amy
Well, unless your lawyer tells you not.
Unknown Male
If I didn't do it.
Bobby Bones
I think if I didn't do it, I would be saying I didn't do it.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
There's nothing that's going to happen to me if I didn't do it. That's going to happen because I said I didn't do it.
Eddie
You think that's better than staying quiet? Because, like, staying quiet to me is probably the safest, but still the safest.
Bobby Bones
But I think I'd be. I'd be doing a TikTok live. I didn't do it.
Amy
Are you, like, doesn't your lawyer advise you to say nothing?
Eddie
Say nothing?
Bobby Bones
I know my lawyer told me not to say anything, but guess what? I didn't do it. That's all I'm saying at this time.
Unknown Male
Also, if he's not coming out and saying I didn't do it, and we can't hear from him, maybe he did do it. Well, that's not. No, I'm saying, like, no, no. If he's not around, like, that's pretty. A big clue. If, like, the wife wakes up in the morning, her mother is missing, and her husband's not there, it's like, huh?
Bobby Bones
Is that what they said? That the husband was gone? No. Are you making that up? I'm saying you're making that up. Okay, got it.
Unknown Male
I'm speculating on like. Well, wait a minute. If he's not around, they're towing her car.
Bobby Bones
There's. There's been a lot of people that have been innocent whenever the press has said they're guilty lately.
Unknown Male
Yeah, that one. What was that one case that we saw just recently?
Amy
The bomb. But I mean, that was shooting.
Eddie
Oh, the shooting.
Unknown Male
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, yeah. No, no, no. Charlie Kerr.
Eddie
Wasn't that the school shooting?
Bobby Bones
No, those are two different things. Charlie Kerr got shot by a dude. And there's some shadiness behind that. But the other thing was the school shooting. Yes, they said it was Brown.
Eddie
Brown.
Bobby Bones
They said it was this person. Yeah. Brown University.
Amy
Yes. And we had a picture of him and everything.
Eddie
Dang, just terrible.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Unknown Male
So maybe I should be quiet about the brother in law.
Bobby Bones
What are you gonna say, Amy?
Amy
Well, now I just want to know more about the brother in law, and I can't find much about him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, give me a sketch. That's what I say. I can always tell by a sketch if they did it or not. That's all I need is a simple drawing. I saw road rage with my own eyes yesterday, and I documented it. It's on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones. I was on treadmill looking out a window because I was doing physical therapy on my ankle that I had surgery on. And I see this woman. I happen to have my phone, right? By not having to. I'm always on my phone, but I mean, it's. And I hit record. Just as she was going crazy in the middle of the road in a white car, she pulls in front of this silver SUV and she's like yelling at it from behind at a traffic light, and the SUV tries to go around her, and she backs up in the middle of the road and like blocks it and starts screaming at it again and goes forward and blocks it again. It was wild. I thought something. I thought I was gonna pull a gun on somebody.
Amy
Oh, yeah. No. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen and I need to know what started it, which I know. Yeah, you probably didn't see that part, but I'm like, there's. It could have just been random road rage, right? But. But the more I looked at it, I was like, is this personal? Did she know this guy?
Bobby Bones
She was hanging out her car window.
Amy
Yes, you can say it.
Bobby Bones
Spit it out. You can.
Amy
No, I know I can't say it because bad words.
Bobby Bones
She Was, you know, she was saying the F word. She was saying back that blank up over and over. But she wanted to back up in a one way road.
Eddie
Hey, hey. But to her credit, the car did.
Bobby Bones
I would have too. I thought she was gonna pull a.
Amy
Gun on me so I would be like, okay, this woman is not stable and I need to go.
Bobby Bones
If you go to my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones, I posted it last night. I'm right in. I mean, I'm looking right at her, perfect angle. At one point, she's hanging like stunt rib cage out of the car window.
Amy
Oh, I was waiting for her to get out.
Unknown Male
This is awesome.
Amy
Like, I said her car door and get out and start like just kicking his car or something or maybe with a sledgehammer. I mean, I went through a lot.
Bobby Bones
Of scenarios, but she was making him back up in the middle of traffic. It just wasn't safe, even if you're that mad. So first of all, don't do that. And then she's going forward and backward in the road to keep the car from driving by her so she can keep yelling at him.
Amy
That was crazy.
Bobby Bones
Don't do that. I don't care what happened. If you want to get at somebody, if you know them, pull off and have a side conversation. She was risking other people's lives.
Eddie
Yeah, there were a lot of other cars.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, and also, let's say you're that mad, you don't know if the car behind you that you're yelling at has a gun. Because everybody has guns.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Pretty crazy. As soon as it came in, I hit record.
Amy
That video is nuts. I've never seen anything like it.
Bobby Bones
And it's so close.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Have you ever been that mad in traffic?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Me either.
Amy
No, I don't get mad in traffic. People get mad at me. But, like, I don't. I'm like, okay, you know, I guess you're having a bad day, but don't take it out on me.
Bobby Bones
You can see it on my Instagram.
Unknown Male
Wow.
Eddie
It's a great video, dude.
Unknown Male
I mean, that is so clear and like, I mean, just great. I mean, you can see her mouth.
Bobby Bones
Movie yelling back to back the F up very clearly. You ever been that mad, Eddie?
Eddie
No, I don't get mad.
Amy
Yes, you do.
Eddie
I don't get mad. I just get like, oh, you're not going to act like that.
Amy
You know, like, I see you cut them off.
Eddie
I see a car kind of not like her, but I. I see a car in my rearview mirror trying to pass all these other cars, I'm like, not by me. And so I'll kind of block the road.
Amy
Right.
Eddie
I'll do stuff like that. But I'm not mad, dude. I'm very even keel.
Bobby Bones
You get triggered. It's not really even killed to act like that.
Eddie
Just to say road rage. That is definitely not okay.
Amy
It's a passive aggressive road rage a little bit. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's up if you want to see it. Mr. Bobby Bones on my Instagram. And it's on TikTok as well. The asking price for the Breaking bad house was $4 million. Are you familiar with that house in New Mexico?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Pretty normal house.
Amy
Very.
Bobby Bones
Because they lived a normal life. That was the whole point of the show. He was a teacher, normal life. And then sold drugs because he got cancer, needed money and he knew how.
Amy
To make meth cuz he taught chemistry.
Eddie
Gosh, what a great show.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's good, huh? So that house they listed originally for $4 million in Albuquerque, New Mexico, they have now lowered the price to $400,000.
Amy
Wait, I know.
Bobby Bones
It's a big drop.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Apparently they were given bad advice that they could list this house. And because it was on Breaking Bad that someone was going to pay $4 million for it, the fame was going to lift it. That's not the case. It has now been lowered to $400,000, which is the actual market value because someone convinced the owner 4 million works. Probably somebody who wanted to get the commission off that. But it's pretty likely the house will still go for more than 400,000. But what I would worry about, and this could be happening at that house some, is that people would show up with their pizzas on top of it.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Because that's what Walter White did. And the pizza stayed up there forever.
Amy
They've had to deal with that.
Bobby Bones
They have, yeah, we tried to. Well, we were near the Brady Bunch house when we were in California.
Eddie
What did they say? Like 15 minutes?
Bobby Bones
Like Shelton 15 minutes, but like one mile from where we were. So our story is we didn't go, but we almost went. We love those stories of almost going. Yeah, we wanted to. We talked about it. We talked about it. My interview with Blake Shelton, it's an hour long. It's up on Netflix. Just search for Bobby Bones or the Bobby Castle. But if you don't have time to watch it and you want to listen to it, it is also as a podcast on the Bobbycast. So it's an hour with Blake Shelton. I want to go to Pam in Kentucky right now. Who's on the phone? Hey, Pam, you're on the show.
Caller
Morning, Studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Caller
Yes, I was calling regarding the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping. Apparently.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Caller
A new station in Tucson, they said this morning on our local news, got a ransom note. Also what appears to be.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so they may have sent that to multiple places. That doesn't seem as much like a prank. If it's going to multiple places from the same account, if there are multiple people doing it.
Eddie
If it's the same note.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
If it's the same coming from the same account, same note, that seems less like a prank. But also, that doesn't feel like. That would be the son in law. No, because if you kind of know who it is, the ransom is kind of wiped out.
Amy
And then if your wife's like, hey, babe, where are you?
Unknown Male
Yeah, exactly.
Bobby Bones
But no one's saying he's missing, though.
Amy
Well, true, but if you're holding someone hostage, aren't you? Oh, maybe you go put them somewhere.
Bobby Bones
And you put them in a storage room.
Amy
Well, then, as the son in law.
Eddie
You know, everyone knows that.
Amy
So now, if it's not a random person, the son in law knows she needs medication.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Correct.
Unknown Male
Yeah, that's true.
Amy
And the medication was left behind. Unless he had some filled elsewhere.
Bobby Bones
Amy's figuring it out now.
Amy
Or over time, he was collecting pills to keep.
Eddie
But there's blood, right?
Bobby Bones
They really thought this out?
Amy
I don't know.
Eddie
Am I making this up or was there blood?
Bobby Bones
There was blood in the house.
Amy
Yeah, there was blood.
Eddie
Blood. So, I mean, she may not be with us.
Amy
No, I don't know that it was that amount of blood.
Unknown Male
Right. I think it was just a trickle.
Bobby Bones
Death. Also, we don't know whose blood it was. Also, we don't know anything. Like I said, for me to make a decision, I need to see a sketch.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
The older I get and I get. I'm not 84 as she is, but the older I get and taking care of my dad, who was elderly, like, he bled pretty easily. Like his skin would break. Like, I cut my hand a lot easier than I did when I was 20 because my skin is thinner.
Bobby Bones
Time March is on, man. Dang.
Eddie
We get older.
Bobby Bones
Time. Pam, thank you for that. We knew the TMZ story. We didn't know the local news story. So thank you for calling us.
Caller
No problem. Love the show. My grandkids love it also. Every morning. All right, let's go into school.
Bobby Bones
Well, we appreciate that. Thank you very much. Hope you Have a great day.
Unknown Male
Thank you.
Caller
Y' all do the same.
Eddie
Bye.
Bobby Bones
Bye. It looks like another station got it too. Alleged ransom notes regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co host Savannah Guthrie, were sent to multiple media outlets and authorities, including TMZ and Tucson, Arizona news stations KOLD and kgun. Their name's K Gun.
Eddie
Oh, wow. Kgun, huh?
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
You gotta be careful with those letters. I used to work for KDIK is a whole situation.
Unknown Male
Oh, no, no.
Amy
What are these? I'm unfamiliar. Are they being sent electronically or written?
Bobby Bones
I assume they're emails. They are demanding bitcoin. Kold also kold. It's Kold and K Gun.
Eddie
Old. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
KOLD TV initially received an email which they forwarded to authorities and. And agreed not to report on it immediately.
Eddie
And so she was in Tucson in Arizona?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't know if it was Tucson specifically.
Amy
Her neighborhood is right outside of Tucson. This is terrible.
Bobby Bones
I mean, bitcoin is how you can also not be tracked. And it's down real low. So they probably get a good amount now and have it go up.
Amy
I was trying to figure out things about the son in law and in.
Bobby Bones
The last 10 minutes.
Unknown Male
Yes, your research, that is incredible.
Amy
All I figured out is at some point he's taught like sixth grade science. He's 50 years old, he likes to write, he studies lizards, he plays electric bass, and he's a maker of homemade pasta.
Bobby Bones
I'm looking at a picture of him.
Amy
This is all I know.
Eddie
A real picture?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I need a sketch. I see a real picture. I need to.
Eddie
That's not going to work.
Amy
Stop with the sketches.
Eddie
That's how you find it.
Bobby Bones
I can always tell if someone's guilty by looking at a sketch. Okay, a picture, not so much. But the guy kinda has a long beard and that's a little sus.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Anybody with a long beard, you need to look a second time at him.
Amy
I mean, lunge fox has a long beard right now.
Bobby Bones
No, no, that's not a long beard. That's a beard. You about to vomit looking at him or what? Holy Amy.
Unknown Male
Yeah, like Amy gagged looking at him.
Amy
No, no, no, no. It's like you do let it get out of control.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Unknown Male
You want me to do that?
Amy
It's not what I meant.
Bobby Bones
It was.
Unknown Male

Eddie
Room.
Bobby Bones
Amy, you're up.
Amy
So PepsiCo is going to cut the prices of Lays, Doritos, Cheetos, stuff like that by 15% because of customer complaints.
Eddie
Guys, this is huge.
Amy
So this is cool because your voice matters. They're listening to us.
Bobby Bones
People are probably buying less is why they're doing this.
Eddie
Well, yeah, because it's so expensive.
Amy
Yeah. And they're half full of air or whatever they have to fill it up with to keep it fresh. And the price cuts are rolling out just in time for super bowl weekend, it says.
Bobby Bones
According to their statement, the CEO Rachel Ferdinando says she spent the last year listening closely to consumers. And they've told us they're feeling the strain and that lowering the suggested retail price reflects our commitment to help reduce the pressure when we can. Listen, they're not just gonna drop a price because people are complaining or we complain about everything. I would complain. I'd call the earth and say, gas is too expensive. There's probably some buyer habits that are changing.
Eddie
It does sound good, though, to say, like, hey, we're listening to our customers, of course.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's good news, though. Regardless, that's good news because I get an email, I don't know. Every day from every streaming service going, we raise prices.
Amy
Like, finally, something's going down every day.
Bobby Bones
We're a frog, and they're boiling us. Explain that, Amy, you can get that. Oh, explain it to Eddie.
Amy
Well, they boil you slowly so you don't really realize what's happening, and then you die.
Bobby Bones
So a frog you can put in normal water and you can slowly turn the temperature up, and it doesn't know the difference, and it will die. It will stay in there and get boiled to death.
Amy
Yeah, it doesn't, like, try to hop out.
Bobby Bones
If you just drop it in hot water, it jumps out. It's like, us. We wouldn't sign up for any of these streaming services for a million dollars a month. But raise a dollar here, they slow roll us.
Eddie
Raise a dollar there, we're like, that's affordable.
Bobby Bones
We're the boiling frog.
Eddie
Okay, I got you. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Thanks, Amy.
Eddie
No problem.
Bobby Bones
All right, Eddie.
Eddie
So, yeah, there's this kid in Australia. He's 13 years old. Him and his family went out on paddle boards and kayaks, and they just drifted and drifted, and the current took them out there, and they could not come back. They were so far. They said they were two and a half miles away from the shore. When the kid goes, you know what? I'm swimming back. And he had a life jacket on. He swam about a mile, took a life jacket off and swam the rest, just without a life jacket. Made it all the way to shore and told him, guys, my sister and my mom are stuck out there. We need to send people out there. And they all got saved because he swam two and a half miles to shore. That's amazing, man.
Bobby Bones
To get just taken out to sea like, helpless, dude.
Eddie
You're just drifting.
Unknown Male
They said he swam for over two hours.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
It was nighttime by the time he made the shore.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Yeah, I saw. It was over two and a half miles, and I saw that he had abandoned his life jacket. They slow you down, let's be honest.
Eddie
But still, dude, I would at least carry it. I don't strap it to my waist or something.
Bobby Bones
That's gonna slow you down, right?
Unknown Male
He said he didn't think he was gonna make it. If he kept the life, he was gonna run out of time.
Bobby Bones
Because that water's moving against you, right? And you have to hit a certain pace just to beat the water. Otherwise, you could swim against it all day, and you're not gonna beat it. It's gonna keep moving you out, man.
Eddie
That's unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
I've never been swept away at anything. That'd be a crazy feeling.
Eddie
Dude, in Acapulco, I'll never forget.
Ad Voice
What?
Eddie
Acapulco. Huh? Acapulco. It's a beach in.
Amy
You also probably know it as Acapulco.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Eddie
Well, how do you say it, baby?
Bobby Bones
Acapulco. Acapulco. Acapulco.
Eddie
No, dude. Acapulco. And so. And dude, what's crazy is the way the current is there. And, like, I watched hundreds of people get sucked in from my balcony because it's so. It's such a sharp drop from the sand. Like, I would say about 20ft into the water, it just drops. So that means when the wave comes and crashes on the beach, it sucks people in. When the water goes back into the ocean, it sucks people. Like, people are just walking. Like, they're walking their dogs.
Bobby Bones
And whoop.
Eddie
They all just go. And it's a road. It's like a washing machine. It just makes them go, like, over and over. It was unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
There'd be big rumors of undertow where I grew up, but no one ever got caught in it. Not that I knew.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, watch out for the undertow.
Eddie
Where would you go?
Bobby Bones
Well, we had a bunch of lakes. We were like. And then we had dams. We were right by dams that release water.
Eddie
And you see that water circling.
Bobby Bones
Well, there was also a cold water line. The water was, like, 43 degrees. The cold water. And you can see cold water, warm water. And you chase that also. Because the fish would also be. Yeah. Would also be running from the cold water. And so you find that water line. You could see it very easily. So. Yeah. Glad they're safe.
Eddie
Unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Unknown Male
Yeah. Back in early December, there was a mom in Utah. She has four kids, and she thought the world was ending. And she's divorced, and she was. Had the visitation with her kids. She boarded a plane for Europe, went missing with the kids. And they find out. She. They arrested her in Croatia, couldn't find the kids. She had dumped them at a Croatian orphanage because she thought the world was Ending. And finally they are on their way home to their dad.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they had a dad?
Unknown Male
Yeah, the dad. They were divorced, and so she had the kids, and when she was supposed to drop them off at the dad's for visitation.
Bobby Bones
Why run off with them if there's a dad to leave them with? Like, if you're gonna run off, all right, that's your thing. Don't like it. You're leaving your kids. But if you're gonna run off, okay, don't take the kids with you. If there's a place they could be left. It's like people that murder suicide. Yeah, like, I don't want you to do any of that, but let's leave the murder part out.
Eddie
Yeah. You want to end it? End it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Unknown Male
Yeah, yeah. But she thought the world was ending, and so she needed to get to Europe with her kids to be safe.
Bobby Bones
I wonder why she thought that. Like, what scam did she fall for?
Unknown Male
No idea. But then she dumped him in a Croatian orphanage.
Bobby Bones
That's somebody who said the world's ending. Either they used religion to get her money, or they just got her money.
Amy
Mm.
Bobby Bones
I feel like they. Somebody got her money. Because that's usually who convinces you the world is ending. People that want your money. That guy that was in. I forget what country in Africa who was like, yeah, the flood's coming. Oh, you guys need to donate. I could build ark.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
End of the world. End of the world didn't come. And he had a brand new car.
Eddie
Oh, he never built the ark.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if he built the ark. He may have built it for much cheaper than all the money he got. Then he disappeared. Yeah, that sucks.
Unknown Male
But they found the kids, and after two months of being gone, they are on a plane home with her dad.
Eddie
I know, it's just.
Bobby Bones
But they spent some time in a Croatian orbit.
Eddie
Right? Right.
Unknown Male
Because they didn't know where the kids were. They arrested her in Croatia, and they couldn't find the kids.
Bobby Bones
There was no dude with her.
Unknown Male
No dude, just her.
Bobby Bones
Morgan, what do you have?
Morgan
Okay, so there's this guy in Utah. His name is Skip Boyce. He's a former construction business owner. And on January 10, he decided to walk into his bedroom door, lock the door, and began his year of isolation project. For a total of 365 days, he is staying in that room. He said goodbye to his wife and daughter. He's doing everything within the confines of that room.
Bobby Bones
This was basically the idea of lunchbox in a box that I talked about. He Beat us through it. Yeah. Lunchbox in a box. And to pay him a bunch of money. This guy didn't even want the money. Here he is giving his latest update. I'm Skip.
Eddie
I'm isolating for 365 days.
Unknown Male
So far, I've isolated 22 out of those.
Bobby Bones
I'm live on YouTube 24.
Eddie
7. I never said that the isolation year was going to be easy. And it isn't.
Unknown Male
Today feels hard, mostly mentally hard, but.
Bobby Bones
I'm working through it.
Eddie
I appreciate you guys. I'm Skip with the isolation year.
Bobby Bones
Am I watching him live? Mike? That's him live.
Amy
Yeah, that's got to be so, I.
Bobby Bones
Mean, but he's not walking around throwing a ball up. He's on a phone. I don't know if he's doing an interview or.
Amy
Oh, he can.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he has a phone.
Amy
He can talk on the phone.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Morgan
So like, his rules are he can't leave the room unless it's a medical emergency or there's like an unsafe building condition or required evacuation. He can't have visitors inside. No hangouts, no drop ins. Only if emergency access is needed. No drugs, no alcohol. He's tracking all of his food. He's also doing workouts and he's doing a full livestream. So there's like nothing staged. You get to see everything that's happening all the time.
Bobby Bones
This is great. Listen, I don't know. It's family dynamic, so I don't know about that, but I'm saying this is great. This guy wants to be famous. This is it. It's already making the news. He now has 14,000 subscribers. He had none and he just started this thing. He said, I will be on a call with cnn. So news organizations are interviewing him. It has weight up there as well.
Amy
What's the point?
Bobby Bones
To lose weight. His life in order?
Morgan
Yeah, he really wants, like, to really.
Amy
Reset everything.
Morgan
He wants to have better health. He wants to have a better mindset. He wants to not be distracted from things.
Bobby Bones
I told my wife, hey, I'm gonna chill in a room for a year.
Eddie
She would not be happy.
Bobby Bones
She would not be happy. And she'd be like, no, that's what you did. Ages 20 to 35, you never came out of your room. Yeah, his name is John Hawkins.
Unknown Male
No, John Hawkins just subscribed.
Bobby Bones
Oh, is that what it is?
Morgan
Yeah, his name is Skip Boyce. Skip boy.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm glad you saw that. Good point.
Morgan
Yeah, he wants to change his.
Bobby Bones
His PayPal's up. You can pay him.
Amy
So how does he I'm.
Bobby Bones
Send him a dollar.
Morgan
Okay.
Amy
How does he.
Bobby Bones
Maybe I'll send him 10.
Amy
I see he has, like, a toaster and a fridge, but how does he get groceries?
Bobby Bones
Is he.
Amy
Yeah. Can his wife, like, drop them off or something?
Bobby Bones
Good point. Probably. But I wish he had to grow his own in a garden. I don't.
Morgan
Look, the door says airlock, so I don't know if that means, like, the door can't be opened. Like, maybe there's a.
Bobby Bones
No, that's a door. That's not airlock. That looks like a small bedroom, wooden door.
Amy
It's like a closet door.
Bobby Bones
What's his name?
Morgan
Skip Boyce.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm sorry. I should ask that better. What's his handle? Oh, the isolation year.
Morgan
Let me see if I can find it.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
The isolation year.
Amy
Okay. At first, I was, like, thinking it was gonna be how we were gonna do lunch walks, like, in a box. Like, you're. You're cut off from everything, which were. That would not be good for his overall health. They say isolation is the worst thing that you can do. But it seems like he still has access to the world, so he should.
Bobby Bones
Be phone and computer and send him 10 bucks.
Morgan
It's on PayPal, though. Are you on Venmo?
Unknown Male
So can he sit there and talk through the door to his family?
Bobby Bones
He's on both. Okay, probably because you can talk on the phone. Right?
Unknown Male
But I'm saying then that's not really.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, he's gonna get super famous for this. He'll probably make a bunch of money too. But you're giving up a bunch.
Eddie
Yeah, a whole year.
Bobby Bones
I gave him 10 bucks.
Morgan
He said his kids are grown.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they're out of the house. Let her rip, Chip.
Eddie
That's fine. He can talk.
Bobby Bones
His wife's probably happy he's doing it then, right?
Amy
Heck, yeah. She's probably in perimenopause. Get out.
Morgan
He really wants to.
Amy
Like.
Morgan
He's trying to force himself to avoid bad habits and incorporate healthier ones is.
Amy
What he's trying to do.
Eddie
You don't have to do all that.
Unknown Male
Well, I was gonna say, how are you gonna have good habits? You can't cook anything.
Morgan
He's reestablishing discipline and rebuilding the habits around health, focus, and accountability.
Bobby Bones
I think it's eliminating the bad habits more than building good ones in this stage. I watched Amy. There's a show called Unreal on Netflix. It's a wrestling show, and it's behind the scenes of wrestling. So they're going, this is my real name. I've told you about it before. This is my real name. These are all the names I've gone by. And they show you how they create the storylines. They rehearse for them.
Unknown Male
Oh, my gosh. Mike just subscribed.
Bobby Bones
Great. They pull off the storylines, all this. And so Jelly Roll's episode was last night that I watched. And Jelly Roll was a wrestler last year. And I just thought he did a couple hours of training. He moved to Florida and trained for months.
Amy
He did.
Bobby Bones
He lost, like, 30 pounds. It shows him going. They rented two houses beside each other. So, like, his crew went down and he, like, worked and wrote songs, but he had another house. And every day he was training in their facility so he could learn how to be a wrestler for this storyline that. The storyline took a few weeks. I think it was really cool because I just thought, have you seen that episode yet? I haven't got to it yet. I just thought he went down and, you know, was like a celebrity who got in a couple matches. But no, he trained hard and got below 300 pounds. I think because of this. He lost, like, 20 pounds as part of that.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
It's really cool. I thought it was kind of cool to see Jelly Roll in it. I thought it was going to be just a short clip based on. I knew what his role was, but no, he went and trained every day and, like, had to learn to fall and was doing, like. Had a helmet on, was falling off stuff.
Amy
Yeah. Because, like, I just thought. Remember when he landed on that table?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, he was on the table or the Logan Paul landed on him.
Amy
Okay. So it wasn't. That was real choreographed. Like, he worked hard to make that.
Bobby Bones
He just learned how to do all that. It's really good. That episode's really good, even by itself.
Amy
Right. I'm just saying it's not as simple as, like.
Eddie
Correct.
Amy
I'm on the table, and then it's gonna crash on the table.
Bobby Bones
Well, if it were that simple and I were on the table, I'd probably flinch, pick my knees up. Last minute for sure. Cause I wouldn't have faith that it wouldn't hurt. Yeah. But it's good. That's a really good show. Cool.
Amy
I mean, I'm not gonna watch it, but.
Eddie
Cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because you watched the first season.
Amy
Is that what I watched?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And you came out not loving it.
Amy
No, I had moments. I got emotional. I felt like maybe I was going to go to WW Raw or whatever it's called. And then. And then it went away.
Bobby Bones
As it often does.
Amy
I was. I Mean, I was into it.
Bobby Bones
Episode three. I'm taking part in a challenge tomorrow night at a theater in San Francisco. I'm doing a thing with a team at Barstool. Some of my friends that work over at Barstool. And so they posted yesterday that I was going to be on a certain team. And some of our listeners were super supportive. Even some of the Barstool people were super supportive. But they were like, our celebrity person is Bobby Bones on this team. And I got hit with a few who's. Which happens when they're like, who is that? And I was thinking about why it bothers me. It doesn't bother me. For me, I thought about this long and hard because I don't often get bothered by comments. But it says rbobby Bones will be the celebrity guest for Brandon Walker, Francis Mariano and PFT commentator on the the Dozen trivia in San Francisco. And somebody was nice and said, I will not stand for the Bobby Bones slander in these comments. And I said, thank you. Someone else said, this is so cool and exciting. Can't wait. Goes on and on. Then B. Carey goes, who? And there are a few who's. I get it. This fractured culture of fame and trust me, I do not think I'm famous. I think I'm pretty well known in rural parts of America and slightly known in metropolitan parts. I don't think I'm famous. It bothers me because I think they see it and go, oh, maybe this guy isn't famous and nobody knows him. Why do we hire this guy? Why do we get this guy? I think that's the root of it. That whole moment with it, it wasn't about me being offended. It's what if the people that I'm playing with are like, oh, we thought this guy, like, had a fan base. I guess he doesn't. I think that's.
Amy
Oh, like that they'll second guess.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
Choosing you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
I don't think they're worried about that in the comments.
Bobby Bones
Here's a funny one. Scottbird ca Round one question to the team, which is the Experts? This team's called the Experts. Do you know who your celebrity guest is?
Eddie
That's funny.
Amy
Who is Bobby Bones?
Bobby Bones
Ever heard of the guy standing on the stage with you? Wait, so, yeah, that's what's up. Let's do some voicemails here. Ray, give me voicemail number one.
Caller
Hey there, Bobby. This is Callan.
Bobby Bones
I got a joke for you.
Caller
What did the traffic light say to the car?
Bobby Bones
Stop looking at me.
Caller
I'M changing.
Bobby Bones
All right, next up, number three.
Caller
So a friend had a girlfriend. They dated for about a year. Well, about a month ago. He paid for a little over $2,000 for school tuition. Then she ended up breaking up with him because they didn't quite match. Should he ask her for the money back for the tuition?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Caller
Any advice to give to him? Love the show and really appreciate anything you guys give to me.
Bobby Bones
Amy, your thoughts? Were you listening? Because you're on your computer.
Amy
No, I'm not on my computer. I'm commenting to someone on this page about you.
Bobby Bones
Let's just listen to the voicemails. But. Okay.
Amy
I had a good.
Bobby Bones
That's okay. We can do it after.
Amy
It's okay. I just. They need to know how good you are at trivia, Ray.
Bobby Bones
Well, don't even say that, though, either, because if I don't perform. No, just listen to the voicemails. This is what you do. You get lost in something else while we're doing something else.
Amy
Well, this seemed important.
Bobby Bones
Ray, would you play the voicemail again so Amy can hear it?
Caller
So a friend had a girlfriend. They dated for about a year. Well, about a month ago. He paid for a little over $2,000 for her school tuition. Then she ended up breaking up with him because they didn't quite match. Should he ask her for the money back for the tuition?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Caller
Any advice to give to him? Love the show and really appreciate anything you guys give to me.
Bobby Bones
You in?
Amy
I'm fully aware of what's happening now. And no, he can't ask for the money back. He's an idiot. He's the one that chose to do it. That's his problem. He learned his lesson. Don't do that again. I mean, he.
Bobby Bones
Man, I think. I don't think he'll get it back. I think I'd still ask. Yeah, If I'm bitter, I think I'm like, hey, I want that money back. And then if she says no, you just miss it. I don't think he gets it back. And if they broke up, but if she dumped him, too. I think I'm asking hard.
Unknown Male
Yeah.
Amy
Like, how do you bring that? Like, so you're dumping. So should she stay with him just because he paid for her tuition, or.
Unknown Male
Did she stay with him just in time for him to pay and then she was. She was already gonna be out, so I would go to the bursar offices and withdraw her?
Bobby Bones
I don't think you can do that.
Eddie
You can't get your Money back.
Bobby Bones
Right, But I don't think you can just withdraw somebody if you have no relationship with them legally.
Amy
Well, we walk in there and say.
Bobby Bones
If that were the case, you just withdraw people randomly.
Eddie
That's trouble.
Amy
So I was her boyfriend and I paid for this and she broke up with me. So I want my money back.
Eddie
Here's the receipt.
Amy
I mean, I guess you're right. He could ask for it back, but he can't expect it back.
Eddie
He's not going to get it back. There's no way.
Bobby Bones
All true. I would still ask for it back. Especially if I'm bitter about it. Like, I just paid your tuition and you just broke up with me. I would like that $2,000 back.
Amy
How long did they go out?
Eddie
A year.
Bobby Bones
Why is he jumping in, paying that tuition? They haven't dated a year.
Eddie
Right?
Amy
Yeah, that part seems a little.
Eddie
But even like the guts to like, like, let him spend money on the tuition.
Bobby Bones
Well, maybe she doesn't have it.
Eddie
Still, that's a lot of money.
Unknown Male
She knew she was having doubts about the relationship and before he paid for it.
Eddie
Oh, man, if anyone gave me that much money, it's like, oh, that's a lot of money. We've only been dating a year.
Amy
I mean, some women are dirty. They're dirty.
Eddie
She said it.
Amy
They. I. Guys can be too, but they are also.
Bobby Bones
We don't know the story. We're assigning things. Who knows? He could have cheated on her and then he paid for it and then he also dumped her.
Eddie
You're assigning things.
Bobby Bones
I know, but I'm saying you guys are assigning it. So I'm saying I'll just meet it on the other side.
Amy
I know I generally like, I want to support women. I. There's obviously cases in which they take advantage, play the game, and they know what they're doing and they take advantage of it. And some of them, I heard a story the other day about, and she played the long game and then she got dirty real quick at the end. And I'm like, oh my gosh. I don't know how people are able to do that, but they have a need that needs to be met and they're willing to do whatever it takes to get the need met.
Eddie
Wow.
Amy
Not everybody's like that. I mean, and it's not just women. Men do that too. Humans, you can do it. Even in a non romantic relationship, you can do it. And it could be a business type deal. Like, some people are just shady. Saw this girl on Instagram last night. I have no idea. If she's saying what she's true. And she ended up marrying the guy, so it's fine. But she said shortly into dating him that she lost her job, and he was like, transfer all your bills to my cards. I got you what? They had just started dating, and he started paying for all of her bills.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That feels like a version of a love bomb.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Instead of gifts, it's bills.
Amy
Oh. Like, yeah. I'm like, too early on. Like, I'm gonna take care of you.
Bobby Bones
Like, I'm doing all this for you way up front. I feel like that's the kind of guy that decides, I'm over it. Cuts them all off his car and doesn't say anything about it. And all of a sudden, she starts to get all these notices, and then.
Amy
She doesn't have any. Good point. I just thought, wow. But she said they're married now. These are just things that she's. She. She was telling women, don't ever settle. Don't ever settle. There are men out there, though, that'll pay your bills. Like, dude. Like, no. She was listing all the things. That was just one of the early things he did for her. And then now it's like she goes, I wake up every single morning and look up, and there's my coffee every morning. She doesn't have to get out of bed and be there.
Bobby Bones
I make my wife a hot tea every morning. Also, she's pregnant. I wasn't doing that when she wasn't pregnant. I'll be honest with you.
Amy
What do you. How do you think. How will that continue? As she's postpartum?
Eddie
Tbd.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we'll see when we get there.
Eddie
Tbd, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
Eddie
I've trained my kids to bring us coffee on Saturday mornings. It's pretty legit.
Bobby Bones
Wait, so without even asking?
Eddie
Yep.
Amy
They know how to make it, or you have it on a timer?
Eddie
No, they know how to make it.
Bobby Bones
You got a Keurig?
Eddie
I have a Nespresso.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
What's the difference?
Eddie
It's fancy, a little fancier.
Bobby Bones
Dang flex.
Eddie
Yeah, it makes, like, foamed coffee. You know, like Bobby.
Amy
We used to have one here at the studio because Luke Bryan gave it to us.
Eddie
You remember?
Bobby Bones
I never used the cute little espresso. I never used it, though. Is it pod is your thing? Pod?
Eddie
Yeah, they're pods, but they're. They're different and they're hard to find. You got to order them. Like, grocery stores don't have them.
Amy
Well, that's it's awesome. That's pretty legit.
Eddie
And they already know, like, a little almond milk. That's how much you put on there. It's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
Ray. Play. Next. Voicemail.
Caller
I just want to give a shout out to my amazing daughter. She's graduated high school early, working two jobs, trying to save up for her schooling. Keep up the good work. Serenity.
Bobby Bones
Serenity.
Eddie
There you go. I like that.
Bobby Bones
What do you call Serenity as a nickname? Ren. Because that's too many syllables. Sarah Wren.
Eddie
Sarah.
Bobby Bones
Sarah's not a name.
Amy
Nitty. Serenity.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. That nitty's one I'd go with. I. Definitely an option.
Eddie
Seren.
Amy
I like Seren. Sir S. Wren.
Bobby Bones
Right. Because that's actually a name.
Amy
Not everybody can have a nickname.
Bobby Bones
Serenity. That's four syllables. That's too many names to call that by our name every time.
Amy
Serenity. Catherine.
Bobby Bones
That's still only three, but even Catherine. You probably call it Cat.
Amy
Steph.
Bobby Bones
You probably call Catherine Cat, though.
Amy
Okay, so you're right. It's probably Ren. Hey, Ren. Ren, Seren.
Bobby Bones
Okay, here we go. Popular nicknames for Serenity include Ren, Renny, Hey, Nitty, Made, shouldn't, and no.
Eddie
Seren.
Bobby Bones
That's almost not a nickname. So Ren. That's two. That's half of it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Not a bad name, though. Just too many syllables if you ask me.
Amy
Ren.
Bobby Bones
Next one.
Caller
Hi, Bobbi. I heard you say yesterday that NASCAR drivers are indeed athletes. And I've also heard you say that jockeys. Horseback riding is not a sport. They are not athletes. I'm gonna need you to explain further, and thank you.
Bobby Bones
All right. I sure will. I don't think you have to be an athlete to play a sport. You can be an athlete and it not be a sport that you do. I think NASCAR drivers, I think that's one of the only sports that don't have a ball. It's hard to be a sport without a ball. NASCAR makes it. Horse racing. You're putting your life and the ability to win that race on another living thing. The horse is the reason the trainer and the jockey. The jockey could be a great athlete. Jockey could not be an athlete. Doesn't matter. So horse racing, not a sport for the jockey? You could say that. Is horse racing a sport for the horse? Okay.
Eddie
He's the real athlete.
Bobby Bones
He's the athlete there.
Unknown Male
That's true.
Amy
Like polo is because there's a ball.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely.
Unknown Male
Because you gotta actually hit the.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. There's a few elements here for the most part, it's gotta have a ball to be a sport. There are a couple things that I'll allow into the category. Race cars is one, and that could be NASCAR, that could be F1. So I want to cover all race cars. Horse racing is not a sport unless the animal is the person. We're talking the animal is Tom Brady. But even then, they don't even know they're doing it. They don't understand the concept of winning. If you don't understand the concept of winning, does winning even count to you?
Ad Voice
No.
Bobby Bones
It's like putting ants in a race and declaring one champion. They didn't know they went through that race. They don't even know why the walls were built. They just found a hole. So, no, but you can be an athlete and not play a sport. I know a lot of great athletes that don't play sports. Some that have played sports in the past, some that still don't. There are certain things, like I think to be a great hula hooper, you got to be a good athlete. Hand, eye coordination, athletic ability, strength, I think to do that. But I don't think hula hooping is a sport.
Eddie
What about gymnastics?
Bobby Bones
That'd be a sport only because I can't do it. If I could do that, then that wouldn't be a sport. I can't do that. So that's one of the ones that are a sport that doesn't have a ball. I'd enjoy it if they had a ball a little more.
Eddie
They're tossing the ball while they're spinning on the bars.
Amy
Speaking of Tom Brady, have y' all seen how people are saying he's acting like a 16 year old girl?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, his Instagram stories. He's like laying on the couch like just another Sunday.
Amy
He's like, is this what Sundays are? He loves attention, but his faces are very like, just like, yeah, teenage girl. That's kind of funny.
Bobby Bones
He loves him some attention. Don't we all though me saying that that's our currency's attention. But yeah, it's weird for Tom Brady because he wasn't like that his whole life leading up to it.
Amy
Well, yeah, now he's not getting attention like he used to, so he's got to find it somewhere.
Bobby Bones
And that's with up close soft selfies. Instagram stories. Selfies. Yep. All right, that's it. Thank you guys for hanging out with us. We'll see you tomorrow. Tomorrow on the Bobbycast, Derek Hough will be on today. Blake Shelton. So check out the podcast or you go to Netflix and watch it. Amy, what's on your podcast? What are you guys doing this week?
Amy
Oh, today we do, like, a little intro together, but ours is. We talk about. It's a little bit of a repeat with a little bit of something new. Because of the ice last week, we weren't able to record. We normally do. So we have some new stuff that we did on Zoom.
Bobby Bones
What is it?
Amy
Let me pull it up to tell you exactly. The episode is called Meeting Ourselves where We Are, which is us having to accept that we were having to record on Zoom. And that's not ideally how we wanted to show up, but we got it done, and then we threw in an old episode about f bombs and feelings.
Bobby Bones
Do you not know what you guys do everywhere? Do you record your way out? I guess.
Amy
Well, this I recorded last week. I just didn't have the title, but I didn't know. I know what we recorded when on Zoom.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's amazing.
Amy
And how we were having to accept our situation, and it wasn't ideal, and our producer was going out of town, so we normally would have done it this Monday and it would have been right on time. We don't record that far out. But he had scheduled a vacation three months ago, and we were trying to get ahead, and then the ice storm sort of ruined that. But I like what we did in the beginning, so in case anybody else is in a situation where they have to just go with the flow and accept the situation.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot. I feel like you filibustered a little bit there. What. What's your podcast is called?
Amy
And also I do the title and description, so, yeah, I do know what we talk about.
Bobby Bones
Well, I was asking if you recorded them a while ago and you do them in order, then I would understand if you're like, hey, I don't know. But if you ask me, like, anything I did in the last four days, I can tell you exactly just from memory.
Amy
Yeah, we didn't do it in the last four days.
Unknown Male
Oh, take that.
Amy
No, I do know that you did.
Unknown Male
It five days ago.
Eddie
That's impressive, though. Guys, I can't tell you what I did yesterday.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you can. What do we talk about on 25 Whistles yesterday?
Eddie
Oh, Kevin. Kevin. Not going to the Super Bowl. We talked about Royal Rumble.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Eddie
He opened up a helmet. Joe Burrow helmet.
Amy
How do you keep it straight, though, Bobby? Because you talk about so many things on so many different shows, you get.
Bobby Bones
No straighter than me.
Eddie
Look at him. Mr. Straight.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I walk down the road they're like, dude, you're straight. I'm like, you better believe it. You can tell, huh? Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I just wonder because usually I would know the last episode, but if you recorded five or six at a time, like Bunch recording, then you wouldn't. I didn't know.
Amy
Yeah. Because we were getting ahead for his vacation. We had been recording bunches, and then we got. I don't even wanna tell you what.
Bobby Bones
Okay, good. All right. So.
Amy
Okay, good for moving on.
Eddie
You don't have to. You're good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're good. You've said it.
Amy
I've said enough.
Bobby Bones
I've said enough. Okay, we're done. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
Amy
Bye.
