Eddie
This is the Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Amy, do you think it's lame when I go we and I'm talking about a sports team that I'm rooting for?
Amy
No. I guess I'm used to it. But you're definitely not on the team.
Bobby Bones
But if I'm like, we really need to win tonight.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, you're, you feel a part of the team. It's a psychological thing. Like, I just feel very invested. I don't think it's lame. I get why you're doing it. You're heavily invested, but you can get.
Bobby Bones
While somebody's doing something and still think less of them.
Amy
I don't think less of, you know, not at all. I just think that you probably should relax a little. It impacts your day.
Bobby Bones
Now we're talking. Okay, now we're talking too much.
Amy
But I don't, I don't judge you for it. I just think that you shouldn't be as impacted as you are. I feel like, okay, if we lose, we lose. And then you move on. Just tell yourself that if we lose, we lose.
Bobby Bones
So if I'm like, man, if we don't win tonight, I'm gonna go crazy.
Amy
Yeah, like, because you don't win, and then it impacts you for days.
Bobby Bones
That's not the we part. It's the I've invested too much of.
Amy
But it starts with the Wii. You're. You're too invested.
Bobby Bones
So you do think a little less of me for weeing it.
Amy
No, I don't think less of you at all. I just think that there's a healthier approach.
Bobby Bones
Who do we all wee toward? Because you can't we toward every team you like. But you have to. Like, we, for me, would be Razorback football or basketball. It's like, wait, we really need this. Like, if we don't do this, that's my we, Eddie.
Eddie
Yours is we are the Dallas Cowboys. We are the Dallas Cowboys. And we had a bad season. Yes, 100%.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It sounds so lame when someone else does it, but, like, when I do.
Morgan
It, I feel that lame.
Bobby Bones
When Eddie's like, man, we had a.
Morgan
Terrible season, I'm like, you don't play for the team.
Eddie
I mean, who's going to be our next head coach?
Bobby Bones
I know. Our. Our. I know.
Amy
I know it's not your coach, but I get it.
Bobby Bones
I know. Lunchbox. Who is your college basketball? We are the Kansas Jayhawks. Do you we them? Oh, all the time.
Eddie
We lost.
Bobby Bones
We suck. With Hunter Dickinson. Till he's gone, we're not going to be any good. So any of that. Nothing that feels weird to you?
Amy
I cheer for Texas A and M.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you really don't. You don't care that much.
Amy
That's why I didn't say we. But good point. And I, I, I will Adopt more of a spirit when they're playing UT just because that rivalry is so old. But also, if UT is playing somebody else, I'll cheer for ut.
Eddie
Texas.
Bobby Bones
So then if somebody's saying we, you don't judge them. Go. Like you're not a part of the team, but you maybe go. Maybe you're a little too invested in that team.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Because you only get to we if you're out of your mind.
Amy
I like that y'all are a part of it. I think the we are part of the team. The we actually really doesn't bother me at the end of the day. It's just that when y'all are emotionally impacted for days, it's the only time.
Bobby Bones
I feel rage in my whole life.
Amy
Right. But that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know why people would ever feel rage. I don't go up or down too much. I'm always pretty in a way that I don't even think it's healthy. Like, I wish I could experience the highs and the lows a little better. Just generally. Because if you can't experience maybe I.
Amy
Wish I loved a sports team.
Bobby Bones
You don't. Because we're stupid.
Eddie
Amy, do you.
Lunchbox
We.
Eddie
Anything we.
Amy
Any we. My family.
Bobby Bones
That counts. Because you're in that. You're literally in that.
Amy
Do y'all, as men would do. We are pregnant. How do you feel about that?
Eddie
Oh, no, we're not.
Bobby Bones
No, we're not pregnant. Because I think that actually takes some of the credit from her from having to go through all that. She's going.
Amy
She's pregnant.
Eddie
She's doing the hard work.
Amy
We gave birth today.
Bobby Bones
No, no. You could say, like, if somebody's having a baby, you could say we're having a baby, but you can't say we're. We're delivering a baby.
Eddie
Boom.
Bobby Bones
It's all about the verb. Yeah, Morgan. Is we weird to you if you meet a dude and he's like, man, we gotta win tonight?
Amy
I feel like I'm just so used to it now. Like, especially with all you guys around. I hear Lunchbox say that all the time, so I don't know that I think anything of it anymore, but it is a little weird now that you've brought my attention to it.
Bobby Bones
I only punch things whenever we lose.
Amy
Like, what do you punch?
Bobby Bones
The couch? I'll just. I'll just punch it. Oh.
Amy
I think there's some underlying stuff that needs to come out. And it's coming out in that when we lose. Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Because you don't punch it for any of.
Bobby Bones
And I would see, like, murders and stuff. And, like, people would just go through rage and, like, kill somebody out of rage. Like, loves. Now I was like, how do they do that? I don't even have that part of me, but I do get it when we lose it.
Amy
We.
Bobby Bones
We. When we. We lose a game. Yeah. Yeah. That's all.
Amy
I mean, do you all ever feel like you could have done it better?
Eddie
No.
Amy
Do you get mad at the player coaches?
Bobby Bones
I could have coached better most of the time.
Amy
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I could be a special teams coach.
Eddie
Tomorrow, but not a player, right?
Bobby Bones
Nah. No, no.
Eddie
Like, you couldn't play better than your quarterback?
Bobby Bones
God, no. No. Then people be punching all the couches all across the country if I were doing that. Okay. Just wanted to check your pulse on we. As it is with guys referring to their athletic teams. Or it could be women, too, but only guys in this room. Bones, I scratched a lotto ticket today. My resolution is to hit. I did not hit today. Yes. I mean, sorry. So I want to hit for over a thousand bucks. I'm scratching 50 scratchers. I did not hit today. So no, no win. So I'm gonna toss this. Toss it. Is there a second chance on that? Yeah. I'm not chasing second chance. I'm not chasing second chance. 10:00am local time, Atlanta and Mobile. Eddie and I, the Raging Idiots, and Matt Stell are playing a show for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Atlanta on February 4 and mobile February 5. Tickets at 10am local time at bobbybones.com if you guys want to come to the show. We would love to see you guys there. I want to talk about my biological father for a second. Something I don't talk about a lot. I bring it up occasionally, but, I mean, would you mind telling our listeners or people that are new to the show, kind of my history, and I'll. I don't call him my dad, but with my dad, like, through. Through life.
Amy
Yeah. Well, he got pregnant with your mom. Your mom got. He got your mom pregnant at a young age. They were like 15, 16 years old.
Bobby Bones
She was 15 when she got pregnant. He was 17.
Amy
Okay. And then she had you. They were together probably your younger years, but then he left when you were very, very young. You don't remember him being present in your life at all. And there was drug and alcohol addiction in both of them. And he just has not been a part of your life at all. And then you were lucky enough to have a stepdad for a little bit. We talked to him every once In a while. He called. He calls in. He's Arkansas Keith. And that was the F figure role for what, years? You did have a dad in your life, but your other dad. No. Then I guess a few years ago, you went to go meet him for breakfast or something, and that's the only interaction you've really had other than one time you were having a family dinner at your grandma's or something, and he walked in and you were shocked.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that was a crazy part. Yeah, I remember that. I forgot about that other thing. He was like, you want to fight me? I was like, what? So all that now. Thank you for that. I have posted a video on my Instagram of me and my dad right around the New Year, and people freaked out about it, but it really wasn't my dad. It was a joke because it was Rivers Cuomo from Weezer. He was playing on stage, and I was right in front of him, and I was like, my dad. And I thought everybody knew that.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But one of our close friends last week came up and said, hey, that was. That was really cool. You post that video, you and your dad. I had no idea that it's a.
Amy
Close friend and had no idea that.
Bobby Bones
I see multiple times a week.
Eddie
He said. He said, you guys look identical.
Bobby Bones
And I thought to myself, is he kidding? And he wasn't. So I just want to come on and say, everyone, that was a video of Rivers Cuomo and Weezer, one of my favorite bands. He wears glasses like I wear. I wear them like he wears them.
Amy
And you wear them because he wore them.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And. And that. That was not my dad. That was a joke because we look similar and he's a little older than me. But, no, that was not a video of me and my dad as a video of me at a Weezer concert, like a small concert. And I posted it. Just want to clear that up.
Amy
Normally, when you show videos your dad, it's just you and nobody.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do like the joke. Like, hey, hanging out with my dad.
Eddie
And there's no one.
Bobby Bones
This is a chair. There's nobody sitting in a chair. Yeah. So I just wanted to clear that up for our audience. I did not. There is no video of me and my dad. That's one of the 90s alternative grades.
Eddie
When he said that, I was like, you posted a picture of your dad?
Bobby Bones
I also thought, like, where did he see this? Was it on somebody else's account? Is it Beverly Hills? Yeah, that's where I want to.
Amy
Yeah, I just figured people would know that was a joke. But you can't assume that everybody knows the full backstory.
Eddie
Correct.
Bobby Bones
So I can't. And I'll say this. The other thing that happened was. And I want to commend our listeners for being such a part of this joke that when Eddie and I were building the pickleball court in my house from scratch, we were just looking at YouTube videos. I came on the air once and said, hey, I'm only going to say this one time. We are not actually doing it. I've hired people to do it, but we're going to take pictures as it grows and gets closer to being completed and act like we're doing it. I said it on the air. I wanted everybody to be a part of that inside joke. And so listeners were great. They would get in and be like, you guys are doing such a good job. We actually didn't build a pickleball court. Right. And it looks great. One of our close friends came over to play pickleball. I'll just. It was George Burris, the singer, who is a really close friend of ours. He shows up and it's like, you and Eddie. I cannot believe you guys built this.
Amy
You think he was like, no.
Bobby Bones
No, he wasn't. He was totally serious. No. And I have to remember sometimes that when I joke about stuff that I need to sometimes remind people that it was just a joke. It was an inside joke.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
You know, didn't Gator say the same thing?
Bobby Bones
Gator was like, you guys agree? Yeah. Gator was like, wait, what?
Eddie
What are you talking about?
Bobby Bones
Gator?
Amy
These people really think that y'all built that.
Bobby Bones
You don't need to be rude. Like, you just crossed over into now you're hurting our feelings.
Amy
No, but it looks so funny.
Eddie
No, it's really good.
Bobby Bones
We're offended now.
Amy
It's like, resort style pickleball court.
Bobby Bones
Weezer's not my dad. We did not build a pickleball court. Just want to put that out there. Okay. I wasn't O Town, though. For the record.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay, cool. Raymundo, our audio producer, secretly recorded. Secretly recorded some celebrities doing stuff, and now he's like, can I release it? So.
Eddie
Sounds weird.
Bobby Bones
It does sound weird. But, Raymundo, please tell me the story.
Morgan
Yeah, I was at the hockey game. Me and lunch had it hooked up. We had our coaches convention in Nashville, and we were in a suite. It was really cool. Honestly, I'm never in a suite before. And we happen to be right next to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, and I'd never been that close to them. And they.
Bobby Bones
Nobody was really, but they're here. Keith's here all the time. You mean together?
Morgan
I'm not really in that room, though. And if I do it here, I'm working, so it's probably frowned upon. Okay, so it was just fair game.
Amy
What do you do?
Morgan
They're just out in the wild. And even when I was filming them a little bit, people would look at me and stare and give me a wave because I was. My camera was right at them, and I captured everything they were. And sometimes they would kiss in the suite. They would hug. He was rubbing her shoulder one time when he was performing. He was singing the anthems.
Bobby Bones
You could see her.
Morgan
She put her hand on her heart. She was so moved how good he was doing. There was a fight on the ice, and Nicole Kipman does this little fake punch, and Keith said, oh, you gonna hit me? I got awesome footage.
Bobby Bones
It sounds like you're a peeping Tom.
Morgan
So my question is, do I just keep that thing under wraps since we are in the profession, or do I release it and it could go viral?
Bobby Bones
What were you gonna say?
Amy
I. I don't know. I just feel awkward when he. When he's saying what he's doing, but I don't know. He was singing the American national anthem.
Bobby Bones
That'll be the national anthem? Yes.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And you think he's doing the Australian one?
Amy
Well, I don't know. I didn't know who I was playing who. And also raised. She had her hand on her heart. Because that's what we do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was, like, enamored with her husband.
Bobby Bones
Right. I would say that they were in public. Right. And what they do in public can be seen by everybody. But I would encourage you to not post it because for a couple of reasons. Selfishly, Keith's my friend, and I don't any. If somebody had something of you in public, drunk or, like, peeing on the sidewalk, I'd be like, please don't put that out of Ray.
Morgan
You can, but nothing's ever bad, though. Cases are good.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. Secondly, he'll then come in, or he may feel like. I don't know. That was kind of weird that Ray was recording me the whole time. And if it's a long version, we're trying to make a movie.
Morgan
Yeah, See, because I just kept doing it because I didn't think that they were actually gonna be standing out in the suite. You can either stay inside, which is actually Taylor Swift. She kind of goes out to the.
Bobby Bones
Outside of a suite.
Morgan
And Nick and Keith Were right there. They almost seem like they were okay. If somebody filmed them, they were.
Bobby Bones
They're in public. They know when you're in public, you get filmed. I would just say because of your position and because of who your friends are. Maybe you second guess it. Maybe. Maybe think, maybe I don't put this out. Or maybe you take like a still shot or just like a three second clip if you're like, oh, Keith and Nicole, they. Because they really are that. That whole we love each other and stuff. That's real.
Morgan
Well, three seconds.
Bobby Bones
I got a whole minute and a half.
Morgan
How am I going to figure three seconds.
Bobby Bones
It's got a feature film and maybe.
Amy
Do like a nod to them of like, you know, you hope your relationship is just as healthy.
Bobby Bones
I wouldn't post the whole thing, though, but post like your favorite one. Greatest hit. They know if you're a celebrity and you're in public, you get filmed. But it does feel because of your position and our relationship and my relationship with them that it's. It's not wrong, but maybe not right.
Morgan
Well, one of the cooler ones is where she's doing the fake punch because there's a fight on the ice. But I don't want people to misconstrue and think she's almost punching Keith.
Bobby Bones
I don't think there'll be any domestic violence calls because of that.
Amy
But maybe just don't do that one. That's not the greatest.
Eddie
That's kind of the one I want to see, though.
Bobby Bones
I can't imagine it looks like she's punching him in the face. But I would say take a small excerpt if you want to post it. Be like, hey, saw Keith and Nicole. It was so cool. They're so nice. And like three, five, six seconds. Now, if you wanted to do it all, God bless you, go for it. But if you're asking me, I would say maybe consider your actions. Maybe it keeps you from getting invited somewhere in the future.
Morgan
Yeah, that's good. That's why I wanted to ask you.
Bobby Bones
You're friends with them.
Eddie
Do you want to just ask Keith Bones and be like, hey, Ray has.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to ask that question. No. Anytime you have to say someone has footage of you that just feels weird.
Amy
It's like a short film.
Bobby Bones
Credits my message. Amy, Amy, somebody's got footage of you. That's just a weird thing to say.
Eddie
You're right.
Bobby Bones
But thank you for asking.
Morgan
Yeah, and he did a great job with the anthem too, so props for him. It was bobblehead night, so it was.
Bobby Bones
A Keith Urban bobblehead night. Yep. Oh, that's. That's pretty cool.
Morgan
Anthem. Nick's there. Jelly Roll was in a suite. Man, this town's got a lot of country people in it, I guess.
Bobby Bones

Most times I'll be doing a cake announcement live on our YouTube page where I will open the cake and there will be an announcement on the cake and then we'll all eat the cake. But nobody knows what the announcement is.
Amy
It's written on it. We don't have to cut into it.
Bobby Bones
Correct? Oh, it's not like a baby announcement or anything like that.
Amy
Can you imagine a reveal?
Bobby Bones
My wife's not pregnant. But let's imagine she was. And that's. That was it.
Eddie
And she's not even.
Bobby Bones
She's not even here. No, no.
Eddie
She has to watch it on YouTube.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Honestly, you probably wouldn't be the dad anymore.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no. I'd be killed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Baby would not have a dad because I'd be murdered. So I'll be doing a cake announcement so you can go over and subscribe to the Bobby Bones Show YouTube page. I'll be doing it at 11:30 today.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And central time. But we'll have it on the show tomorrow. We'll put on the show tomorrow.
Eddie
Is that a happy announcement?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
But do you know what's written on it?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Oh, okay. I don't know if you were finding out too.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm the only one that knows what's written on it. Wow. Everybody, I had to order the cake specially. Specialty. Specialty. What? Both. So there you go. So we'll do it on the show tomorrow, 11:30 live on our YouTube page today. Bobby Bonesho go and subscribe to the YouTube page and then we will do a. Kate, don't worry. I've decided this is going to be a thing.
Eddie
Cake announcement.
Bobby Bones
I think it's a fun. This is like one of the quirkiest bits I've ever thought of. All the big announcements are going to be cake announcements now because I want to eat cake.
Eddie
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Bobby Bones
And so if we're going to announce something I'm ever written on a cake, and then we're going to be like, here's the announcement.
Amy
And then what kind of cake is it?
Bobby Bones
And then I yell at you guys, let them eat cake today. Cookie cake. Oh, my goodness. Let's go.
Eddie
Did you bring milk?
Amy
I can get behind this.
Bobby Bones
I can't drink milk. I got in trouble the other day. Trouble meaning I got myself in trouble. I now for the most part. And what they would call lactose intolerante.
Eddie
Yes, I've heard of that.
Bobby Bones
And so I can't really eat cheese or milk. I had some tearing in my lining, in my stomach, and I have not bounced back in a way that I can eat any cheese. I forget sometimes. And so I don't. Excuse me.
Amy
I just think like, you forget or you choose?
Bobby Bones
I forget because I've eaten cheese my whole life.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so I ordered some. Some Chipotle the other day to the house. It comes. I always get a little on top of it. How's that accent?
Eddie
Well, what did you say?
Amy
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so I had some little Queso on top of it. Which is okay. My wife goes, are you having cheese with a side of cheese? And I'm like, what's up? She goes, there's queso on it. And you're eating chips and queso right beside it. I'm like, oh, my God. I was death for 36 hours after that. So there'll be no milk with it.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Unless you bring your own. But you couldn't have because you didn't know today was a cake announcement.
Eddie
No clue.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Cake announcement today. One other thing I want to mention. I will get to it in the news in just a second.
Eddie
You're like, get another cake.
Bobby Bones
No, I can't do another cake. Can't do another cake. But we'll do the news behind me. The news, Mike. We'll do the news. Coming up in a second. These are the stories. You can call us if you want. 87777. Bobby. The question is, number one, do energy drinks work? New scientific study. And a surgeon does his own vasectomy. And I want to tell you about that. I got the news. Next. Residents in Florida, Georgia and Texas on the coastlines, they're being warned to stay out of the water due to hazardous ocean conditions. The National Weather Service has issued high surf advisories and rip current statements for multiple coastal counties. Apparently the water's just crazy like. Like this. What? Splash. And there's. The splashes are so big splash.
Eddie
That's what they sound like.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So they're like, don't get on the beach. And also here it's like, don't step on the ice. Cause wow, you fall down.
Eddie
Different sound, though.
Bobby Bones
Weather's crazy everywhere right now. It's so cold. How cold is it?
Eddie
Oh, how cold is it?
Bobby Bones
Everywhere I look, it looks like the squirrels are warming up their nuts.
Eddie
I'm gonna use that today with the boys.
Bobby Bones
I didn't have that written down.
Eddie
Did you see it was snowing like in Alabama on the beach?
Amy
Yeah, I did.
Bobby Bones
I did see some beach snow. That's crazy. I know. That is bizarre. A passenger clings onto the outside of a train as it's going 175 miles per hour because the door shut him out on a cigarette break.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, that's crazy. How long do you think you could hold? Not very long. A fare evading passenger clung to the cables of a high speed train after a lengthy cigarette break. Saw the carriage doors close on his luggage. Unwilling to be left behind without his bags, the man jumped onto the outside of the train when it pulled away While he was still smoking, the 40 year old held on to a bracket between the carriages as the train continued on the trip at 175 miles per hour. He then boarded the train without a valid ticket. Okay. He head boarded it without a ticket and then he walked out to smoke. Here's the thing, if you get on illegally, don't get off.
Eddie
Yeah. Stay in.
Bobby Bones
And then he held on a six hour journey. Was stopped by federal police after witnesses saw a guy holding onto the train.
Morgan
Oh my God.
Bobby Bones
He held on for 19 miles.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
He should get like a pass. Like a month for surviving. Yes, we're surviving. Yeah. That's from the Independent. That's crazy. Studies show that moms do 71% of the mental work in the home required to keep the family running, planning, scheduling, organizing the family, arranging activities. Mostly done by.
Amy
Excuse me, I'm thinking gifts. Gifts, like if it's anybody's birthday. Oh, yeah, holiday, whatever. Moms are taking care of most of that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, mostly done by the moms. I'm surprised it's so low, actually.
Eddie
I know, Me too. I would think it's 100%.
Amy
Well, it can't be based on your.
Bobby Bones
Family and your home. You're one sample.
Eddie
She does all that.
Bobby Bones
This. And researchers found that mothers typically do more of the housework as well. That's from the Journal of Marriage and Family. Thanks, Eddie, for giving us insight into your life.
Eddie
I mean, she does everything.
Bobby Bones
Do energy drinks work is the question they say. Not unless you're planning to run the 100 meter dash, say experts. I'm in the market for good, like straight energy drink.
Amy
What do you mean by that? Like clean.
Bobby Bones
I have clean. Like I. I like super coffee, but I don't like coffee. So there's only a couple flavors that I really like. But sometimes if I'm at the gas station, if they have like a mocha, I hate a mocha. Like, I like the vanilla. So I need another one. If they don't have a flavor, I like a super coffee. I need another one. I'm in the market right now and I've tried them all. I've tried a lot of them. But I just want you guys to know I'm in the market, okay? In case, you know. But they list some of them off Red Bull Monster and others are jacked up with as much caffeine as almost three cups of coffee, tons of sugar. But the combination of all that produces short, intense bursts of energy that only elite athletes can burn off in a safe way. The rest of us, the Mix can trigger a wire. Wired energy leaves you exhausted and shaky when it wears off.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Prevention.
Amy
I've experienced that because I used to drink a Red bull in our 20s. That's what we would drink before work most every day. It was a workout thing and crash.
Bobby Bones
Remember that? It would be like, yeah, have a Red Bull while you work out.
Amy
Yeah. It gives you wings.
Bobby Bones
I. I like the taste of Red Bull.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I will drink it occasionally. Have I mentioned in the market for like, a new one?
Eddie
You mentioned that.
Amy
Not me. I don't. Any part of any of that, really.
Bobby Bones
I don't like coffee, though.
Amy
I know, but I hate coffee. I don't. Some of those other chemicals in these drinks, too, or however they.
Bobby Bones
I like chemicals.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Chemicals. Pretty good.
Amy
Sure.
Bobby Bones
The right chemical. Right chemical mix. I'm down. A surgeon and father of three performs a vasectomy on himself as a gift for his wife. He says, quote, I am really brave.
Amy
Can you call yourself brave?
Bobby Bones
He did not. You know what I co signed from the New York Post? The plastic surgeon. He did it on camera. It's on Instagram. 4 million views as of right now. He said it was a strange feeling to touch and suture my own urethra. He uploaded it for educational purposes, which you can do. Just like if you go to YouTube, you can watch a baby being delivered.
Amy
Yeah, but do you have to click that? You're 18?
Bobby Bones
I don't know because I've never searched for it, but I know people on this show have watched it.
Amy
Okay. Yeah. I just didn't know if it was, like, blurred out, but I don't know.
Bobby Bones
If it were 18 and up. Doesn't that mean adult content? And I think that's beautiful. Not adult.
Amy
I know you need to be warned, like, what you're about to see that and then you can click in.
Bobby Bones
But I want to see that. If somebody gets kicked in the nuts, like, I want a warning, warning. If you watch this, somebody's about to get kicked in the nuts.
Amy
And also, back to bravery. I think you can say that you're brave, but I'm just saying if you're performing your own.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it on my screen. I don't want to see it.
Eddie
What did you see?
Bobby Bones
I don't want to talk about it.
Amy
Did you see the urethra?
Bobby Bones
He was laying in a bed with his. You know how they go, man, it sets you up. Yeah. He was probably two thirds of the way up with his scalpel and his Legs spread and he was going in. To which I started to scream. I don't want to see that. And after that, I saw nothing.
Eddie
Did he have a mirror or anything? Like, how.
Bobby Bones
No, no. He was looking down himself.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's brave. Hey, I'm gonna say it.
Amy
That's brave.
Eddie
He was right.
Amy
Yeah. Educational purposes.
Bobby Bones
While the procedure looked excruciating, the surgeon only visibly displayed discomfort once. Leaning back in his chair in apparent pain, he then gathers his tools and resumes the operation. While vasectomies typically last between 10 and 30 minutes. Doctor. The doctor said it took twice as long because he performed it on his own anatomy.
Amy
Sure, that'd be a little hesitant.
Bobby Bones
That would be a little brave. Oh, my God. Finally they say despicable woman catfished. Oh, I get that video. I was so close to, like, ruining my day.
Eddie
You're scarred now.
Bobby Bones
I got a flat tire this morning coming into work, and I almost watched the guy give himself a vasectomy. Not my favorite day. A despicable woman catfished her friend out of her life savings by pretending to be, like, a really attractive suitor. Not even, like, a random person from South Africa. A woman who cynically catfished a female friend out of her life savings. I wonder why they say cynically by pretending to be a pretty boy in love with her. Has been jailed. 33 years old. She convinced her victim to part with more than $110,000. After dangling images of an attractive male in front of her. She posed as a man who needed private treatment for blood cancer and took advantage of a friend who she'd known for 20 years. Oh, my gosh, bro, that is not a friend. She should have to watch that video. I just almost watched.
Amy
The same way as it will a man.
Bobby Bones
Dude, that sucks.
Amy
That's terrible. No, I've listened to podcasts where this happens, where. Because when you're the friend, you're in and, you know, weaknesses make them, you know, do certain things. And then, like this one podcast I was listening to where a friend did this to a friend. Like, she would be with her, and then, like, trying to, like, text her from under the table as if she. When she's acting like the guy. And that way, the friend's, like, never gonna suspect that you're catfishing her because, like, you're with her and she's communicating with the quote unquote man.
Bobby Bones
And also you can live. Encourage her. Yes.
Amy
Yeah. And you're like, wait, what did he say? And then you know how to respond. It's crazy.
Bobby Bones
I'm A bit desensitized to a lot of news because we do a lot of news and talk about a lot of current events. That one hits me weird. I don't like it because that's like a friend robbing another friend of the money and making her feel like that. Oh, that's terrible. Okay. That I don't want to jump out. But you can hit the end of the news. Those were Bobby's stories. I do want to say this. Yesterday on the show, to even the shows surprise and knowledge, I announced, hey, we're gonna do a cruise. After years of me saying no, because there were just a couple reasons that I felt that I didn't want to do a cruise as a show or in or by myself. It was not even about not hanging out with you guys. I thought, first of all, it's not like a T shirt, where it's like, get you a T shirt. 14 bucks. That's a. That's a commitment. That's a. That's expensive. It's a vacation. It's seven days. Yeah. And so I was like, I never want to ask our listeners to commit to that because I don't feel that we're worth it. Being honest. Who wants to spend that kind of money to come hang out with us? Also, I get motion sick. Really bad. I've been assured as much as you can assure somebody that this is not the same as being on a fishing boat in the ocean. Because I get motion sick doing everything.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And the third part was listeners coming up to me if I'm touring or just out somewhere. And one of the first, second, or third things they say is, you should really do a cruise. And I say the same thing, like, I don't want to ask people to spend that kind of money to come hang out with us. And finally you guys broke me down. And finally I found a group of people that I could talk to. Not only that, and I can't announce it today, but there's going to be music coming with us. I can't say who, but when I was told yesterday, I was like, that's so legit.
Eddie
That's awesome.
Amy
Well, when can you say it wasn't.
Bobby Bones
Confirmed is why I can't say. Oh, if it was confirmed, I know who they're talking to. I know who they almost have. I know who they have. Something of what I know is gonna happen. And it's so legit. So I will say this. I know that it is. I'm not saying you have to come for me. It's been Quite a like let's just do it. But it doesn't happen until February of next year, 2026. There were over a thousand pre registrations yesterday. Which they told me was more than when William Shatner did his Star Trek.
Eddie
What?
Bobby Bones
I know, that's what I said. Really? So nobody feel like you have to come. I just, there's this. There's a little bit of guilt in me for going. We're doing this thing and it costs a lot of money but also I'm not making anybody pay it. And it's just if you want to come. I have to get over that. I have to get over any trauma I had of being poor as a kid and not being able to afford stuff when other people could. I think that's what it comes from too.
Amy
What if you look at it as if people liked to plan out.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely.
Amy
Experiences.
Bobby Bones
I should look at it.
Amy
An opportunity for an experience. And so many of our listeners have become friends. They live in different parts of the country and they can all be on a boat together.
Bobby Bones
Yes. And with us. So bobbybones.com is it still up, Morgan, for people to pre.
Amy
Oh yeah.
Bobby Bones
For the pre sale. Yeah. They spell it S A I L pre sale. That's funny.
Eddie
Oh, sale.

Eddie

Eddie
The lady at the doctor's office where I broke my arm. No way I'm going on the cruise.

What's going on?
F
Good morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Eddie
What the.
Bobby Bones
You're on.
F
I just wanted to. I just wanted to call. I re. Was a recipient of the diamond earrings a couple years ago around Christmas time.
Bobby Bones
I remember that.
F
And I just wanted to. Yeah, I just wanted to say thank you so much. I'm a child protection worker and that day was like super, super hard at work. And I called in and I got my earrings and it just made my whole entire year.
Bobby Bones
Can you tell that story again? Would you mind telling the earring story again for those that don't remember?
F
So I was having a bad day and I. You guys were talking about having a poker face for a gift that someone gave you around Christmas time. And so I called in and shared that my husband had gotten me a thermostat, like, for a furnace when I asked for diamond earrings, like, for like the past four years. And so. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so how did you. How did you get diamond earrings?
F
I called in and shared my story.
Bobby Bones
And then.
F
And then you and Then you gifted them to me.
Bobby Bones
Boom. Just wanted that to be out there. It was a wee thing. But in case listeners missed that part. Yeah. So we just felt bad that she got a thermostat.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
For Christmas. And so we're like, let us get you the earrings. Okay, so then what happens with the earrings?
F
So then I went on a cruise and I was out on the deck just sun tanning by myself, and there was this couple out there, and it was just the three of us, and they were listening to music. And I said, thank you so much for remembering music. And he's like, I'm so sorry for my music. Is it too loud? And I said, no, I love country music. And so then we got to talking and his wife was like, oh, your earrings are so pretty. And I said, well, funny story. And then I told her the story about how I got them, and she's like, oh, my goodness, I love Bobby. And she had actually brought your book along to read on the cruise. And she was reading it, and so we just connected actually over, like, your show and loving your show. And we hung out the whole week and it was just a friendship. Now that I can't wait to see them. But, yeah, sometime we'll. We'll cruise again with them.
Bobby Bones
Dang. That's crazy. I didn't know how that was going to end. So a lot of factors here that I enjoy. First of all, that she still has earrings because, you know, weren't cheap earrings. Happy to do it. Love it. Love that there's any sort of appreciation. Like, I love that number two is she met somebody who's also a fan, which is just cool. That person had a book of mine. Crazy. The story gets crazier and crazier. And then the fact that they were on a cruise and we're doing a cruise.
Amy
Yeah, that's weird.
Bobby Bones
Come on. Well, you sound, like, negative.
Amy
No, I don't. I mean, I'm just like. I'm thinking about all the things that had to happen for that to happen. It seems meant to be.
Bobby Bones
It was meant to be.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What is that from? Meant to be? I think from Everybody Loves Raymond or just.
Eddie
I don't know.
Amy
To be or not to be.
Bobby Bones
That is Shakespeare.
Amy
This is to be.
Bobby Bones
Meant to be. I think it's Robert Baronet.
Amy
He would do that.
Bobby Bones
It was an episode.
Amy
Oh, just one. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm really digging back deep. It was meant to be. I'll figure that out. Crap out. Don't worry. Thank you, Amber, for calling and, oh, yeah, I hope you're Having a good, I don't know, January. It's cold as crap. Is Iowa cold as crap?
F
Actually, it was, like, negative. Like, windchill last night was probably. Was, like, negative 30, negative 40. Today it's 24. And it's snowing, so it's actually beautiful today.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
F
We hardly have any snow. And so I am. Have always been from Iowa, and so I'm missing the snow. So I was really happy that some of the Southerners must have given us some of their snow.
Bobby Bones
Have it all. Have it all. Have the Arctic blast. Have it all. Thank you, Amber. Have a great day.
F
You, too. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Season five, episode four of Everybody Loves Raymond. The episode's called Meant to Be. And he has. He's trying to decide on which girl he wants to be with, and then they all end up, like, not choosing him because he's kind of an idiot about it, and he keeps going. It's meant to be to all of them.
Amy
Okay, well, there it is.
Bobby Bones
Meant To Be.
Amy
Season five, Episode four.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Thank you, Bones. On my Instagram story, maybe Thursday or Friday, possibly the weekend, I had posted that there was a missing loaf of bread the house. Now, I ended up having to take the whole thing down because I got scared for a minute, but my wife will make bread now. She'll make, like, a loaf. A loaf uncut. That's what it's called, right? Like a loaf.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So loaf of bread. I was, like, touching it because the bread wasn't. It was still dough. So she makes the dough, then she forms it, and I wash my hands. I did a video. I was like, look, she. I can't wait for this, because it's awesome. I love bread. I love toast. It's my new thing. Toast and orange juice. My current addiction. And so I did an Instagram story, and I'm like, check it out. Here's the dough. And she watched it, and she was like, what'd you do with the other one? I was like, what do you mean? There was no other doughy loaf? She said, no, no, there were two loaves there. And I said, I promise I didn't move it. And so she walks in there, and she's like, okay, either. And she said this. Either I have misplaced the doughy loaf, or someone stole the doughy loaf, meaning someone, possibly a dog. And so the first thing that I look at is we have dog doors that the dogs go out of to get outside. And the doughy loaf is probably. What do you think this is here?
Eddie
Foot a little bigger than a Foot.
Amy
A little bigger than a foot.
Bobby Bones
Okay. It's dough. And it was still, like, in doughy. How would you describe that?
Amy
Yeah, dough is like jiggly.
Bobby Bones
Jiggly good. Yeah.
Eddie
Dough.
Bobby Bones
There's no way that a dog could have taken that doughy loaf in its mouth. Eller. Because Stanley wouldn't have been able to get up to it. Stanley's a fat bulldog. Because it was up high on the counter at a point where Eller can't get. We thought. So then we start to think maybe she could have got up there, but there's no way she could have grabbed the loaf. And she likes to take. She's a resource guarder, so. And taking it out the doors. Because I looked at the dog doors and there were no markings of dough or it would have ripped a little bit going through. Because it was all. So it had ripped off going through the multiple dog doors. She has to get through to get outside. We're looking everywhere. Like, where could this loaf be? I'm looking at the dog doors. Nothing there. So then we're starting to get nervous. And Caitlin Google's what will happen if a dog eats bread? And if it eats enough bread, it can kill it.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Yes. So we didn't know this at the time.
Amy
If it's not cooked or.
Bobby Bones
No, just in general. Because I can tell you.
Amy
Golly.
Bobby Bones
Because it got really dramatic and people were asking, why did you take down the Instagram story? Well, for a minute, I thought the dog might die. And I didn't want me being like. Because I was doing.
Amy
Where's the mystery?
Bobby Bones
Well, I was doing, like, number one. Stanley first.
Eddie
Oh, suspect.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Possibilities. Loves to eat. Why not? Fat and short. Couldn't get there. And then two Ellers. Very athletic, loves eating anything. Probably the number one suspect. I was doing that kind of thing with some Dragnet music from the 50s, kind of a funny bit. So. Eating too much bread. So then we read this. Eating too much bread can make a dog sick and cause a number of health problems. And it goes through the stuff. Vomiting. Okay. That's everything I eat, basically, with my issues. Bloating. Bread is high in carbs, can cause bloating. Same for me. So far, we're all the same. We don't even know if a dog ate it yet. But we can't find the bread anywhere. There were just two big loaves, and now there's just one. Three seizures. Raw bread dough can cause alcohol toxicity because of, like, the wheat or the barley or whatever they are. Something that's in beer. Barley Yeast. Thank you. Something which can lead to seizures, coma. And then it starts to be where the digestive. The stomach can actually turn over and it can kill the dog. So immediately. First of all, it says, if this happens, your dog eats a bunch of bread. Immediately, you need to call whatever the pet poison hotline is. So we call. All of a sudden, it went from dun, dun, dun, dun. Suspect number one, Stanley. He probably didn't do it. He's too fat. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Eller. If it's gone, probably her number one suspect, also known for taking. So I'm like, oh, I should take all this stuff down, because in case the dog dies, I don't want to be doing jokes. And then rest in peace at the end. And so we call the pet poison hotline. And they're like, yeah, what's the problem? And my wife's like, dog ate a bunch of bread. And they're like, okay, like a piece of bread. She's like, no, a whole loaf. I was making it. It was raw dough. And how serious their voice got scared me. They're like, okay, here's what we're going to do. You need the dog to vomit immediately. And we're like, what? And she's like, yeah, here's what you do. First of all, if you have any peanut butter, put it on the bottom of the dog bowl and, like, smush it in there. And then pour 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide in it so the dog will lick the peanut butter and drink the peroxide. We don't have any peanut butter. I hate peanut butter. My wife hates peanut butter. It's kind of why we got married. Mutual. Hate to eat peanut butter. But we do have, like, broth, like, bone broth, because we do a lot of soups at my house. And so we're like, let's do it. We're now convinced Eller probably ate it but didn't take it outside because it was all jiggly. Thank you, but we don't know. And so they're like, she needs to drink 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, and then you need to go walk her for 15 minutes to get her stomach juggling. It's freezing cold, by the way, but I don't care. I'm gonna go out and walk her. And just to show her that it hurt for me too, I did it naked. I walked her naked outside. Oh, good.
Eddie
Just like her.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, just like her. And so she drank and drinks the peroxide. Although you can tell, like, when she was finishing it she was like, something ain't right with this poisoning.
Eddie
Yeah, didn't taste very good.
Bobby Bones
But at the same time, we don't even know if she ate it.
Amy
Khalil.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Amy
That's the worst.
Bobby Bones
I know. So we called Josie, Dr. Josie, our friend, our vet. She has a great podcast called in the vet's office with Dr. Josey. And we're like, what's up? And she's like, oh, that's bad. Like, if she ate it, you got to get her to throw up. And she's like, if you can't get her to throw up with the hydrogen peroxide after you walk her for 15 minutes. Because she had the same. Without us saying what the other people said, she said the same thing. We didn't need a second opinion, but it was exactly the same. And we're like, okay. We also called this hotline. They made us pay 90 on the hotline, too.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Amy
The Pet Poison hotline costs way to.
Bobby Bones
Pay with the credit card.
Eddie
Wow.
Amy
Before or after you get advice?
Bobby Bones
Well, if it were after, we probably would have hung up. We gotta save our dogs.
Eddie
The number is click.
Bobby Bones
Yes. So. But Joseph said the same thing. She goes, if Ellar doesn't vomit, I have. And they live pretty close to us and there are legitimate friends. She goes, but I have a shot that does the same thing. It's just a little more hardcore. Like, I can inject her with this and she'll vomit like crazy. But again, we're both nervous that she really didn't eat the bread and we're putting her through all this without eating the bread and that we're just going to find the bread, like in a cabinet or something. And so I'm walking Eller. She doesn't throw up, but after like 15 minutes, she's starting to, like, lick her lips. Like, you can tell she's a little bit nauseous. She also, she's eyeing the hog because she's getting walked at like 10 o'clock at night. She's like, this is awesome. So we walk, we walk, we walk. Nothing. So we're like, let's do it again. They said hit her with the peroxide a second time.
Amy
I'm waiting.
Bobby Bones
I know. What's the, uh. For?
Amy
I have to do it again.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
Amy
I thought she has to drink the peroxide stand.
Bobby Bones
Maybe she didn't even eat the bread right. I know, I know. I'm feeling bad about this too, but we gotta see. And then I'm thinking we should. We need a peroxide, Stanley. Now I just want to peroxide everybody. Like, I'm like, let's just. Everybody. Just to make sure.
Amy
This makes me think at the time, I had to call poison control, but keep going. Because of peroxide.
Bobby Bones
Do you want to hijack the story?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
No. You do a family guy. Like, just a complete to the side.
Amy
No, I don't want to hijack it at all.
Bobby Bones
I literally don't care. Go for it.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so can we. Can we. Can we follow up this with that, though?
Amy
I'll earmark it.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. So we pull the bowl out, and now Stanley's watching us from the window, and we have. She won't. She will not drink. Now. She's smart because she's not doing the peroxide bowl again. So first we try it. We pour the bone broth or whatever it is, and then we put it. And she's, like, not having it. She'll eat anything. She's like, I'm not doing it. So we're like, crap. So we go in and we get some chicken that I had from my lunch earlier, and we're like, man, she never gets, like, grilled chicken. So we put the chicken in the bowl with peroxide. She looks at it, then looks at us, and I can see her considering it. Is it worth it to eat that chicken? Which I don't get to have to drink whatever that garbage was. And she commits to it, and she eats the chicken.
Amy
So you just put the peroxide on the chicken?
Bobby Bones
We put the. No, we put the peroxide. It never moved. So the peroxide stayed in the bowl with the bone broth, and the chicken was there. And dogs don't eat with a spoon and fork. So she just got right.
Eddie
Right. They don't.
Bobby Bones
And most of it came up at this point. She hasn't vomited. Josie's like, I'm coming over. And we're like, okay, cool. We're in the backyard. It's freezing. Don't forget to take your shoes off. And you get the front door because we're in no shoes house.
Eddie
Don't forget that.
Bobby Bones
Don't forget that. So walking Ella. Walking Ella. And Josie's probably two minutes away. And Ellar starts to go. The peroxide does not hit her. And I can. She's just. And I've been walking her, but we've only walked on pavement, on concrete, because when she does it, we have to look in the vomit to see if whatever we're looking for is there. So Caitlyn goes inside because Josie's about to pull up just to make sure, because I lock the doors all the time. When we're home, she goes, unlocks the door, and Elder hits the jackpot as far as, like, throwing up. And it's exactly what you think it would be after, I don't know, six servings of hydrogen peroxide everywhere. I mean, but luckily, on the pavement, there's vomit everywhere. And I'm like, oh, it's like, slot machine, right? I still can't tell what it is yet because it's very wet. And so I get a stick and I start to go through it. Freaking full loaf of bread.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Eddie
She ate the whole loaf.
Bobby Bones
She ate the.
Amy
Dude, this is good that you got it out.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Massive chunks of this bread. So a little bit. I'm relieved. I'm like, oh, man. Josie then walks out right about then. And, you know, she's a vet, so she deals with, like, animal wet stuff all the time. And so she's like a couple pictures of it. She was like, oh, thank God. That's at least most of it. If whatever's left, she'll be fine, but she'll probably throw up again. And she did. Like, a couple little chunks came out, but all the bread. All the bread was there, and she didn't die. And so a lot of listeners had been messaging me on DM going, what happened to the dog? Whoever. So first of all, it was Elder that ate the bread, and she almost died. And this is a public service announcement that dogs can't eat bread.
Amy
Yeah. That much bread.
Bobby Bones
A half a piece. Something's on the ground. That's fine. But if you ever had me either, I was just gonna let her chill. And there's something about their stomach turning upside down, because Josie said it too.
Eddie
Like, it actually physically, like, moves upside down, I believe.
Bobby Bones
So it can flip. Unless that's just a term. Would you look that up, Mike? But all that bread, man, came out, and we're pretty happy. She was sick for, like, the next day, obviously, because she drinks six things of hydrogen peroxide, but she got to a point in the cabinet, the counter that we never thought she could get to. She's reaching new heights.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
She's a goal setter.
Eddie
You were right. Athletic and suspects. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I've been doing this long enough. I can usually tell Kremlin I don't want to see him.
Amy
Golly.
Bobby Bones
But that was our drama. And that is why I did not finish that Instagram story, in case people were wondering.
Amy
Yeah, the yeast in the dough will ferment in the dog's stomach. Causing the dough to expand and potentially bloat the dog's stomach while also producing alcohol, which can lead to alcohol poisoning. And it's life threatening.
Bobby Bones
Does anything about flipping a stomach? Because I know they said that about it. When it fills with gas and fluid, a condition called gastric dilation Volvolis gdv. It can cause the stomach to twist on itself, cutting off blood flow and killing parts of the stomach.
Amy
It literally twists. That's crazy. That's why they. They say, like, twisted stomach. But I thought that that was just a saying of, like, or a band from the 80s.
Bobby Bones
We're not gonna take that. No, we're gonna take that. That's Twisted Sister.
Eddie
I got it.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. Amy, your story.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, Amy, let's hear your story.
Bobby Bones
You earmarked a certain story.
Amy
Yeah. So remember the time we were at I Heart country in Austin, and I was married at the time, so my husband with me and I had traveled with a little bottle of hydrogen peroxide to, like, gargle for my teeth or whatever. And I don't know that you're supposed to do that, by the way. This was years ago. And I had a. Then I transferred it to, like, a water bottle so it'd be easy for me to, like, throw back and swish and then spit out. Well, he got up in the morning and was thirsty, and he thought it was a bottle of water, and he chugged it. And it was hydrogen chugged, so we had to call Poison control for Humans.
Eddie
Did he throw up?
Bobby Bones
Well, she walked on for 15 minutes. Yeah, of course.
Eddie
And I had to swift.
Amy
It was. It was actually. It was burning like he was in pain that it was not good because he didn't. It's like it took it. He had just woken up, so he's still kind of like half asleep, trying to register very thirsty. And then just like. And I was like. And he's like, what is this? What is this? And I was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. That's hydrogen peroxide.
Bobby Bones
Am I crazy to think I would know if I were drinking peroxide and, like, a swallow, even if I were chugging it?
Eddie
It depends, though. Like, how. What kind of chugger you are? Some people just chug, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm not aggressive.
Amy
Oh, he's aggressive. And it was first thing in the morning. He just wanted to hydrate, and he probably had been drinking.
Eddie
Sure.
Bobby Bones
There's the update. Thank you all for asking. The dogs are okay. It was Eller. She learned her lesson. Except not. She doesn't know English So that's tough. That's tough to teach a lesson when a dog doesn't know English. But thank you all for all the messages and those that had no idea. Do not let your dog get into your bread. Your massive thing of bread. And that's the more you know. All right, thank you. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead story of the day. This story comes to us from Orlando, Florida. A man used to work at Disney World. He got fired. And he was like, oh, they want to fire me? I'll show them. So he went in their computer system, hacked into their menu and some of the QR codes. He changed them to, like, Boycott Israel and different racist websites. Wow. Next level.
Eddie
I wasn't expecting that.
Bobby Bones
Me either. And you hack into something that's automatically felony. And, I mean, that's. Listen, I'm not saying it's a good idea. I wouldn't have thought about that. That's like, next level, like, changing QR codes. I don't even. I can't even get a QR code to work on my phone half the time, much less change it. Yeah. So people at the resort, when they would go to order, you know, a hot dog, it would take them to Boycott Israel, things like that. He admitted to it. Now he's facing 10 years in prison. Wow.
Eddie
That's a bonehead for sure.
Amy
Because he admitted what? He admitted to it.
Bobby Bones
It's not like, bready bunch. You don't get, like, bonus points if you admit to something. You know what, you know what you did wrong and. No, but think of the skills that he could have used in a good way. Yeah. That he ended up using in a way that got him fired. That's crazy. Okay, I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day. A Starbucks barista was attacked, bitten by a monkey that jumped through the drive thru window. There's like three different. Three different headlines here. Like, if it's just Starbucks barista attacked you, like, tell me more or someone gets bit by a monkey. I'd like to hear more of that. Somebody jumped to a drive through. Get me some of that. Yeah, three and one. It's like your greatest hits. But this employee needed stitches and vaccinations last week as a customer's pet primate leaped into the service window, ran up to her, grabbed her arm, and then just started biting her.
Amy
Oh, my gosh.
Bobby Bones
The attack reportedly ended when a coworker grabbed the animal and threw it back out of the drive through.
Amy
Good for that coworker.
Bobby Bones
I need to see the security footage. I Know there's never been a greater need for security footage than right this second. Think about that. Monkey jumps through. You're the one working. All of a sudden it's biting. You're like, oh, my God. But think about this. You're the other employee who sees a monkey jump through and bite your employee. What do you do? Grab your phone, Save your employee, laugh. Like, I can see me doing all three of those.
Amy
Yeah, hopefully you could do them simultaneously.
Bobby Bones
Also. I'm like, is this a joke? Like somebody pranking me? Like I'm looking around. Friday, January 10th, 8:30am, mobile police department. They were called, there was an incident. And the monkey looks. It's like a little spider monkey type thing. It almost looks like if a possum and a monkey made sweet, sweet love. And this animal. So it's little, it's little. It's. How else are you gonna throw it back through the window? Because that was my initial thought, was, how do you chunk an orangutan back through a window? But it is called a night monkey. And so in the car, the night monkey has this little like blanket on its head.
Amy
Oh, gosh. Most monkeys are cute, but this one's not cute.
Bobby Bones
It's cute until it bites. I think if you go to a friend's house and you see this, you're like, oh, tell me more about the.
Amy
Monkey flying at me. I'm not into it. But like other monkeys, if they come flying at me, I might be like, okay.
Eddie
Oh, is this in America? I forgot to ask you.
Bobby Bones
Mobile.
Eddie
Oh, boy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Where we're gonna be a couple weeks.
Eddie
Watch out for monkeys.
Bobby Bones
Maybe we can meet the monkey. The monkey is like in the passenger's lap as they're driving through the drive through as where of course you'd put your monkey if you're driving through the driver's lap.
Amy
I wonder what made the monkey do that because obviously this person's gone through drive thrus before.
Bobby Bones
Probably had the cup. The little, the little.
Amy
A pup cup.
Bobby Bones
Pup cup. And they know there's one in there.
Amy
He's like, I need the whipped cream.
Bobby Bones
I need the pup cup. The employee the monkey attacked who asked that she remain unnamed. Sustained bite marks on her hands and lacerations, one to her ear. She had to get stitches. She shared images of the injuries. Oh, I'd have done 10 TikToks on this. Yeah, I'd have shown images of ever. Can you imagine the millions of views you're going to get? You know what? I'll be bitten by a monkey for what I'M going to get on TikTok from it. The customer, who they later identified as Tammy Elaine Gardner, came into the restaurant to check on the employee. And see, now you're scared they're going to put your monkey down.
Amy
I know.
Bobby Bones
So maybe just run. Just leave town with your monkey. Again. That is from. Hmm. How do you say that? Lagny app. Mobile. Yeah, I don't really know how to credit that, but monkeys jumping through windows, man, that's pretty cool. It's right next to a Lowe's Home Improvement. I looked on the map.
Eddie
Oh, okay. Okay. Same shopping center.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's right near one. Yeah. Yeah. All right, that's it. We're done. Hope you have a great day and we will see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
