Question. What's the best and worst way to communicate with friends? Obviously, it's messaging. Messaging is great, but it can also go off the rails when I speak on a group chat.

Eddie
Hey guys, it's Matt and Leah from.
Bobby Bones
The Grown Up Stuff podcast.
Morgan
Matt, did I tell you about the road trip I'm taking this weekend?
Bobby Bones
Yes, you keep talking about it. I've hear every detail.
Morgan
I even told you I'm getting my oil changed before I go.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you actually didn't tell me that one. But that's a smart idea.
Morgan
And my car gets the best with Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic motor oil because it maximizes engine protection. Pennzoil's a name you can trust to protect your car. And let's just say my car is revving to go.
Eddie
Have fun.
Morgan
Ask for Pennzoil Platinum at Firestone Complete Auto Care Pennzoil. Long may we drive.
Bobby Bones
Let's go. So went to New York, spent the night in New York, and was speaking at a podcast up front, meaning there are lots of sponsors there, and they want people to come out and speak about the podcast. So the sponsors then go, I like that podcast. I like that company. Let's buy the podcast. And so they invite me and Matt Castle, who played quarterback for the Patriots and the Chiefs. We do a podcast together, which is called Lots to say for the NFL. So the NFL says, hey, will you come speak for us? We're like, no problem. Because our podcast is doing pretty well considering it's less than a year old. And we go and we spoke for four minutes. I mean, we. We flew up, spent the night, spoke for four minutes, and we were done. It was.
Eddie
Did they wrap you at 4? Like, how did that work?
Bobby Bones
We didn't quite know what we were doing. They were like, well, you come and speak because there are all these sponsors. We're like, no problem. We'll be company people. And so we go up and a couple of the people that run the podcast division were up talking. First. They brought us out, and they're like, hey, so this show, why? And I'm like, well. And then they asked Matt, like, do you like football? Yep. And then, like, all right, there they are.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bones and Matt Castle. So then we walked off stage, and we were like. We got dressed, came and spent the night. I spent a bunch of money because I was up there. Bought food, took, like, some of my guys because we had to go and record a podcast as well while we were there. Because we had to work while we were there. Yeah. For no more than eight minutes total. Now, if that leads to, like, multi million dollar deals.
Amy
Yeah. Then it's worth it.
Bobby Bones
Great. But I don't think it's going to lead to multi million dollar deals. So that was. That was the New York trip in a nutshell. Here's me in a nutshell.
Amy
Look, so. But it's good. You got to do the other podcast, right?
Bobby Bones
It's fine. We could have done it here just the same. We. We were with Amani Tumor, who played wide receiver for the Giants. That was good. And so he came and we went to the NFL headquarters. It's where that guy went and shot all those people.
Amy
Which guy?
Bobby Bones
The guy that went in and killed all those people into that building. They were talking about how he walked right up, like shot out the glass and then got on the elevator and tried to go to the NFL but got on the wrong elevator. Went to another. Yeah, went to another floor and killed those people there. There's security outside of every. Every door there now. It's it. It felt though like if you get your house broken into, then you get a security system, that kind of thing. Cuz the guy just went and shot the place up and now they got cops everywhere. But another weird thing from that whole situation was I posted a video from being in the na NFL headquarters and there were all these mannequins and they had every jersey from every NFL team and had listeners being like, why are all the mannequins black? That ain't fair, bro. They were gray. Everybody looks for every reason to get upset.
Eddie
Oh my gosh.
Bobby Bones
They were all great. I had multiple people in my DMs going, why are all the mannequins black? Why aren't there white ones? Well, there weren't black ones or white ones. They were all gray.
Eddie
Because no one's gray.
Bobby Bones
Correct.
Amy
Nobody can get offended, right?
Bobby Bones
That's DM culture. I posted a tick tock yesterday about getting offended at the super bowl halftime show going mildly viral because I was just like, hey, everybody, every single thing doesn't have to be catered to you. And I said, I'd like to say first, I don't know, Bad Bunny's music. Can't say I love it. There's a chance I won't enjoy the halftime show, but I am a mature adult and I realize that everything is not for me. And I don't cry every time something isn't made specifically for me. And yeah, there's some little pushback on that one.
Amy
Is it. Is that store in the mall for Bad Bunny?
Bobby Bones
Do you know what I'm talking about store?
Eddie
That's the Psycho Bunny.
Amy
Oh, okay. Psycho Bunny.
Bobby Bones
It's like a golf, but like polo. So maybe not full golf, but a lot of golfers wear it. Yeah. Is it full golf?
Eddie
I don't know.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But it is like collared shirts and stuff.
Amy
Thanks for clarifying. I thought, wow, he's so popular. He has his own store at the mall.
Bobby Bones
I think he's even more popular than that store at the most.
Amy
Yes, yes.
Bobby Bones
And people are like, we're in America. Puerto Rico's America.
Amy
Yeah. It is.
Eddie
It is American.
Bobby Bones
And they're like, well, get an American artist. Well, in America, He's a top 10 streaming artist. He's literally a top. Again, I say this from somebody who's not a fan of Bad Bunny. I don't have anything against him. I just don't know his music. But to me, it is so childlike for people to be upset about this. And the thing is, the people that are upset about this just move from one thing to be upset about to the next.
Amy
They must, because they were the ones.
Bobby Bones
Upset about the male cheerleaders care about the Vikings. Like, their worth comes from screaming about things that really don't matter. Except people on the Internet, they look up to make it a culture war, so they want to jump in and also be a part of it. It's mostly the Cracker Barrel stuff, too. Like, all the people crying about Cracker Barrel. I bet you 1% have been to a Cracker Barrel since that. Loved it, like, as their second home. Shut up.
Eddie
People love just typing on those comments.
Bobby Bones
People just love. I mean, you can even do the Sydney Sweeney stuff when they're like, sydney Sweeney.
Eddie
Oh, the jeans.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You're stupid, too. Everything doesn't have to be something that you get upset about, but it's people who don't really have a. They feel like they don't really have a voice in real life. So they have to have this massive voice, and they have to get into this kind of tribal mentality.
Amy
Yeah. And I think those are the people. They should have their keyboard restricted or their Internet intake limited or just take it all away.
Eddie
The keyboard gets locked.
Amy
You are no longer allowed to know what happens in the world.
Bobby Bones
Well, and I tell you guys, it's not even real people for the most part. It's bots. It's bots and it's foreign adversaries. I will call them that in this situation who are making us hate each other even more. And so there was a story that came out from Gizmodo. A new analysis suggests that much of the outrage over Cracker Barrel's recent logo redesign was fueled by bots.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
And not public backlash.
Amy
But don't. Don't the bots have something better to.
Bobby Bones
Do besides the bots are hired to do? So what's their job?
Amy
Why'd they want to attack Cracker Barrel?
Bobby Bones
Because it's not attacking Cracker Barrel. It's creating something divisive within our culture. Yeah, because it even got to where the president is tweeting about it.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But bots affect all of that.
Eddie
So who's controlling the bots?
Bobby Bones
A few people that are paying for like, okay, Russia.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
It's just a blanket thing to say, but let's just say Russia, they have a whole arm of making Americans hate each other. Like, our job is to split culture. We want them to be so divisive that they're easier to.
Amy
Tear down to.
Bobby Bones
To. Yeah. To break the union.
Amy
So are we doing this to other countries? Like, are they having conversations with, like, America's trying to divide us.
Bobby Bones
We've done it with elections.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
We've affected elections in other countries. Yeah.
Amy
My friend's friend I just heard, she just told me the story about her friend that was working on that Cracker Barrel campaign. And they were. She was so excited to release it and then it all just went down. Like, she, she was like, it was so sad because she had been working on it for so long and they were so pumped to put it out and then she wanted to go hide in a hole.
Bobby Bones
Well, my point too was I didn't like the new Cracker Barrel stuff, but it didn't affect my life. So I'm not going to get on and be like, you suck. And you, you value America very little. And you don't. I found Jesus in the parking lot of a cracker. But people were doing that stuff. Like, so. So you don't change the logo because I found Jesus in the parking lot. I think you find a Jesus completely separate than what? The logo is branded by a company in capitalist America.
Eddie
And it was just the man in the.
Bobby Bones
Well, it was two things. One, the letters, the man, they removed the man. And then the inside, they were changing a bunch of, like, taking the walls down with all the crap on it.
Eddie
Oh, I like those.
Bobby Bones
Me too. No, I. Here's the thing. I agreed with all the angry people, but there was no reason to get angry over it because it doesn't affect your life and it really was dividing the country.
Eddie
It's a restaurant.
Bobby Bones
Yes. So intelligence platform Peak Metrics found that nearly half of the social media posts criticizing the company's new logo were bought, generated, including 49% of boycott related posts. So you have a business that has changed the millions and millions of dollars, a private business that has changed how they. They had to do so much research on it too. They weren't just going, we think this would look good. They did so much research with people that go to Cracker Barrel. They don't just make those decisions. And they were like, we can't, because everybody's gonna protest us. And it really wasn't in everybody. It was bots. The activity extended beyond Twitter to things like Truth, Social, Gitter, Gab4chan, and Rumble. Between August 19 and September 5, more than 2 million posts discussed a controversy, with a significant portion showing signs of bot activity. While real users initially voiced frustration, bot networks quickly amplified the outrage, creating the illusion of a larger movement. The report did not identify who was behind the bot campaigns, but suggested they were tied to ideological culture war accounts. And those culture war accounts are mostly foreign to divide their enemy, which is us. How do you beat an enemy? You divide. You ever hear the term divide and conquer? Yes, that's what it is. Ultimately, the findings imply that much of the online backlash was manufactured and that companies like Cracker Barrel may be better off ignoring such artificially inflated outrage. And I'm not saying that the outrage from people wasn't real, but it was lit by the bots, because then it turns into, well, if you don't agree with me on my other principles, you must also not agree with me here. So we hate each other. That's why I'm always like, bots, Bots. Don't believe them. Sounds like an LMFAO song.
Eddie
That's why you have that bumper sticker in your car that says bots. Bots don't believe them.
Amy
No, he doesn't.
Eddie
That'd be cool.
Amy
That's why you have that sign in your front yard.
Bobby Bones
Does anybody have a bumper sticker anymore at all?
Eddie
Yeah, my wife tried to put one on her car. I'm like, you're not doing that.
Bobby Bones
A real one or like a static sticker?
Amy
Like a school one?
Eddie
It was like a university one.
Bobby Bones
Oh, does it peel off easy? I guess.
Eddie
No, those never peel off.
Bobby Bones
Well, static stickers peel off a lot easier.
Eddie
They have magnets. Those are cool. I don't mind those.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I don't just come right off.
Bobby Bones
I don't know those.
Eddie
But, like, I don't know stickers that. Even the ones that think you think they come off easy after, like, a few years, they don't come off.
Bobby Bones
Guys, don't let the bots divide you. Because I'm not saying it from the story. I've been screaming that for months at this point. Like, any of the outrage online is seen as a small flicker, and they take advantage of that. And the next thing you know, you got cable news fighting for it. And it's only because they think that their audience is outraged when really it was bots. And so then the audience sees cable news they're like, well, I'm aligned with this cable news network, so I must also be outraged. Nobody was really mad about Cracker Barrel to the point of the total amount of anger that came out of people. They ended up getting that mad because they were tricked into being that mad because other people in their tribe were that mad. But they were only that mad because bots convinced them to be that mad. And the bots were foreign. Foreign adversaries.
Eddie
We're falling for it like idiots.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you also fell for, like, Craig Robinson is retiring from comedy. I did. I did. Yeah. That's one.
Eddie
Well, I mean, I thought that was a good story, then turned out it was fake.
Bobby Bones
You and Lunchbox same day the bots got us. Same day. I'd like to bring up something, and I think most of the times, I'm a defender of Morgan. Would you guys agree?
Amy
Yes.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. You think she's highly intelligent.
Amy
That's not. That's not where you're going. He's just offending, you know, in a lot of ways. Why do you have to bring that up?
Eddie
What he has said before about her. So go ahead, boss.
Amy
That's not being a defender, though. How he. That's not what he's talking about. He's talking about, if y' all start to attack, he'll defend.
Eddie
Right. Okay, good.
Bobby Bones
And also, I said that with no reason to say that other than I felt right.
Amy
You didn't say it out of defense.
Bobby Bones
I wasn't defending.
Eddie
Oh, right.
Bobby Bones
Morgan. When I said that, you guys didn't say, I think Morgan's dumb. And I'm like, no, I don't. I was talking. I think Morgan's highly intelligent. You guys were like, whoa, stop the presses.
Amy
So then you had to start defending.
Bobby Bones
You pulled the lever on the newspaper machine. Stop the presses.
Eddie
That's what was weird. It was just involuntary. Like, Morgan is highly intelligent. What?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay. It was. It was voluntary, but I understand. So Morgan had posted. I'd like to apologize in advance for where I'm going.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Apologies.
Eddie
She said that, or you're saying that?
Bobby Bones
I'm saying this.
Eddie
Okay, got it.
Amy
So this is. You're not defending her.
Bobby Bones
I will not be defending Morgan in this part of the show. All right.
Amy
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Well, this is where he goes, I don't need to be brought into stuff when I don't have a dog in the fight is gonna be my point here. So Morgan had posted on our Instagram. Her and her boyfriend did an episode of her podcast together.
Amy
Yeah. And you thought that was Gonna be awesome.
Bobby Bones
I thought it would be good for clicks. I didn't really think it would be great for her if she had done this with every boyfriend. There would just be audio up there, and they have to pull it down all the time.
Amy
There's a reason why she hasn't done it with every boyfriend.
Eddie
Because she thinks this is.
Bobby Bones
No, because she didn't have a podcast with the first boyfriend.
Eddie
That too.
Morgan
Yeah, I had a boyfriend. I had a podcast with one of them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the second one. Yeah, but he wasn't public. But you didn't go public with him. You already gone public with this guy before the podcast.
Morgan
That is true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I got a lot of truth in me right now.
Eddie
She's already offended. I can tell.
Bobby Bones
Well, no, she just. She came at me for no reason.
Amy
She came at you?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, on her Instagram post. Because someone had posted from Nancy BB2222. And she writes to Morgan, you know, the show gives you a hard time, but wasn't Amy married within six months? Yeah, she's divorced now, but she was married a long time. I'm happy for you. And Morgan jumps in and goes, and Bobby engaged in a year.
Morgan
That's just facts.
Bobby Bones
I think you're missing the point. Nobody here would have said anything about you being engaged within eight months. A year and a half, two years. What it was said was there were just multiple guys that were the one one right after the other.
Morgan
I have never said a single guy is the one. All I've ever said is that they were different. And in my defense, they were.
Amy
They were different because.
Morgan
No, hold on.
Bobby Bones
Why did you bring me into this? I didn't do. I didn't say anything.
Morgan
Point that I also made on the show. I said to your face, I said, and you were. And you got engaged in a year. I was making a similar point that I had already made on the show.
Bobby Bones
But what was that point?
Morgan
They were referencing the fact that you guys are always saying, I either move too fast or I always say, this is different, or yada, yada, yada. You guys say all kinds of things.
Bobby Bones
No, I think you're on two different trajectories here completely. Because I. I was engaged to my wife in a year. Yes, a little bit. We would live together because of COVID I think that sped up a lot of things, too. But I didn't have a girlfriend for years before. Years and years and years. It wasn't like I was bouncing one to the other, one to the other. And then it was, boom, I'm with This one, I'm getting engaged in a year. This is the one. Like, I think there's a drastic difference.
Morgan
Okay? And you can say that from that point of view. But also, I never have said anybody was the one.
Bobby Bones
Let's go to the other show members here.
Morgan
No, hold on. I've only ever said that they were different. And in my defense, they were because I came from an abusive relationship to enter a healthy relationship, and it was different. And then that guy cheated on me. I was like, okay, maybe it's not. Then I go to another guy who never cheated on me, and it was a safe relationship. It was different.
Bobby Bones
But you can't use abusive and safe as words to, like, prove your point here, because that's not the point. The point is you brought me up in a year, and you're like. And they did a year. But I didn't go. The only reason we give you a hard time is because you've had these big boyfriend announcements on the show, and then you're gone, and then it's another one. And then we're like, wow, Morgan, you sure are moving fast. It doesn't. Those two have nothing to do with each other.
Morgan
Okay, well, I was just referencing timeline as what they were referencing, which is a similar conversation we had had on the show before and a similar thing that I literally said on the show. Nothing. I haven't ever said to anybody's face.
Bobby Bones
I just got brought into it for no reason.
Amy
Well, but she had said it to your face.
Bobby Bones
Not the same. But. No, not the same, because there's two. It's two differences. You meet somebody, you date them for a year. The whole point that we would argue with her was. And not me. It's Eddie and Lunchbox. And I would just kind of sit back, and then I'd stop them. They'd be like, well, you're going from one dude. It's like one big announcement after another after another after another.
Amy
So your point is saying. Because you didn't make that announcement multiple times.
Bobby Bones
My point is saying every person wasn't a big announcement because there were no big announcements. I didn't care about anybody else until my wife. And we were together for a year. I didn't have a girlfriend for years before that. And with. And the point of Morgan's was with. When you guys were given a hard time, it's like, it's one dude. Okay, that's over one dude. Okay? That it was this big, and it's not about the length of time. You can be together for six months and get engaged. Who cares? But we're going to be a little more. We're going to be a little more weary. If it's like, okay, now this one's the one.
Eddie
It's like the boy that cried wolf, like, after. And Morgan, you could agree with four times. You've probably come on and been like, this guy's different. Which to me.
Morgan
Yeah, which I literally, to me, it was like, you guys don't realize what happens to somebody after they've been in an abusive relationship.
Bobby Bones
Don't. Okay, you have to stop using the abusive relationship thing, because that's not. That's not the argument.
Amy
A story.
Bobby Bones
But it's. We're not talking about a story.
Eddie
But is that really why the only reason you said he's just.
Bobby Bones
She's using as a defense right now. That's unfair in this. No, hold on. You hold on. That's unfair in this argument. To go. I was in an abusive relationship because that's a sympathy tactic.
Morgan
It's not a sympathy tactic. I realized, like, after Eddie kept saying, this is different, and I kept saying, I was like, you know, I need to reflect on that. If I was. And I did. And I realized to me why I kept saying they were different because I had never experienced those types of relationships before. So when I was coming on here and saying, this feels different. This feels different. They really all did to me.
Amy
Not.
Morgan
Did I ever say that, hey, this is the one. This is the guy that I'm gonna marry. Not once have I ever said that. But I did say that each of them are different. And now I can tell you why I did.
Bobby Bones
But my point is, we would say, like, hey, don't. You don't need to go public with all this so early, because if it doesn't work, then it's just another big announcement with another dude. And all of a sudden it's gonna be like, one dude to the next. And you can go, one dude to the next, no problem. But it's like, don't announce it all. Like, give it some air. Like, let's see what's up before you do it again. That's the only point. And let's say this one doesn't work out, for example, and I hope it does, but it's like, oh, man, we just did this again. You just gotta be careful with this. Like, that's just me looking out for you, going, you don't have to do everything so public all the time until you're for sure. But anyway, I was brought into it. I didn't feel like, that was fair for me to be referenced out of nowhere in an Instagram comment and tagged. And I was like, wait, why am I being brought into this? I'm the one that defends Morgan all the time.
Morgan
Yeah, but I wasn't saying that out of, like, spite or to be mean or anything. I was literally just saying something that was in reference to the same conversation that we had on the show. Which is what? That comment.
Bobby Bones
But how am I supposed to know what that comment or conversation whenever that's just written normally in a comment?
Morgan
Because it had literally just been brought up on the show.
Bobby Bones
Okay, it's 4:00 on a Tuesday, and it's a comment on a podcast. How am I supposed to put all those context clues together? And it's not. And it's not even about the show?
Morgan
I'm sorry if you felt that way, but I never met any ill intent with it. I was literally just saying the same thing that I brought up on the show, which is what that was all about.
Bobby Bones
I think my irritation comes from just, like, looking out for it. It's like, you don't have to go public with the dudes.
Amy
Well, also, But I think, you know Morgan's heart. Like, she didn't. If you're hearing her, like, she didn't. Now I think she can see, like, oh, the difference in you getting engaged after a year. Like, you weren't just with a girl right before that saying, like, oh, this is different. You weren't. So I think now she can take that and see, like, oh, now the listener making that comment. There isn't a comparison. There's not a comparison to even my relationship being engaged after. Well, I got engaged after three months, married after six. And while that didn't work out, we were married 17 years, and I had known him since I was nine. Everybody has different circumstances. And I think Instagram comments and DMs. Oh, my gosh, are bots dividing us? Bots are dividing us.
Bobby Bones
Guys, it wasn't a bot. That was too specific.
Eddie
It was a real person.
Bobby Bones
That was a real person.
Amy
Okay, well, I'm just saying, I think I see both of y' all's sides, and I think knowing both of y', all, we can put this to bed.
Bobby Bones
No, I want to spend another 10 minutes on it.
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, it's fine.
Amy
We're not going to be divided, guys.
Bobby Bones
I felt like I was brought into something unfairly. I'm the one that defends her. And then she's like. And Bobby, I'm like.
Morgan
Like, I Didn't think that was bad.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, do I need to remind you why we say this?
Morgan
No, I don't. I mean, I'm pretty reminded all the time of how you guys feel, so. No, I don't think so. But I also really wasn't making that comment in to hurt anybody, to be mean, to be anything than just. Yeah, I think literally what I said.
Bobby Bones
And it was the emoji like this, like. Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, I don't know.
Amy
That's literally emoji.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Amy
I don't like D N o.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Morgan
And they were referencing, like, you know, they can't. That comment was in reference to say, like, they always give you crap about your relationships and stuff. And that's all that was about. And it was the same conversation we had.
Bobby Bones
We don't give you crap about your relationship.
Eddie
Yeah. We don't.
Bobby Bones
None.
Eddie
We root for you in your relationships.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
But what.
Eddie
We root for her.
Amy
We make Bobby. You do, Eddie.
Eddie
No, we do. When they break up, we're like, oh, that's sad. Are we really? Like, oh, that's so cool. No, it's sad for her. And then she finds another guy, and she's like, this is a one, guys. It's different.
Morgan
I literally have never said, this is a one. We have to stop saying that.
Eddie
This one is different. And then we're like, oh, here we go again. And then it's the same song and dance four times.
Bobby Bones
That's all we've ever said.
Eddie
No one is ever rooting against you, Morgan.
Amy
I will say that.
Morgan
Guess what, guys? Maybe my mistake was ever talking to you guys about my dating life. Maybe that was the mistake, and for that, I'm sorry.
Bobby Bones
I would say a little premature on some of them. Yes, I would agree.
Morgan
Okay, then. You know what? That's fine. But I'm also. I don't feel ashamed for anything I've ever shared. I think it helped a lot of people when they were in there dating and going through it. And I think that's been a connection with me and listeners.
Bobby Bones
I don't think you should feel ashamed at all. But when you get hurt over and over, people that care about you are like, hey, maybe you shouldn't go so early because it might end bad, because I've seen this happen. But it has every time.
Eddie
It might not. You're right.
Amy
Yeah. Like, what if it all works out?
Eddie
That'd be cool.
Bobby Bones
We're at a 0% success rate so far, and hopefully this one is the one that.
Morgan
And everybody is. Until they're married.
Bobby Bones
Yes. But everybody doesn't go wildly public with it. And I don't have to go, hey, maybe you should pump the brakes a little bit, because, well.
Amy
And even once you get married, I mean, have we learned anything?
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Amy
Just kidding. But I was gonna say. Well, I don't know if we're gonna talk about this or if we have already or have y'.
Bobby Bones
All.
Amy
What it made me think of, like, I gasp, like, whenever. When I saw, like, Keith and Nicole, I'm like, can anybody make it anymore? So that was sad to me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Anyway.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. That's a tough one.
Amy
That's a tough one.
Eddie
I was like, say it ain't so.
Amy
I know. I'm like. I had friends texting me. This can't be real. Is this the Bots?
Bobby Bones
It's true.
Amy
I don't know.
Eddie
I should check if it's. If it's bots or not.
Bobby Bones
The Keith and Nicole thing is weird.
Amy
I know, but they. They had a good.
Bobby Bones
They had a good 19 years. I talked to Keith last night.
Eddie
You did?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
It's hard.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. It sucks. It's weird because it's one of those things. I. I'm not going to lie. So therefore, I. There's not much. There's not much I can say.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think I can say that. I think you see both sides working hard in the press right now to get the narrative straight. Both sides.
Eddie
Well, because people are just gonna start assuming stuff.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Some of the assumed stuff is probably true. I mean, and some is not.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, that's. That was a shocker, huh?
Amy
Man.
Eddie
And I'm. I'm never gonna meet Nicole now.
Amy
Oh, you haven't yet?
Eddie
No, I never met her. Oh, it's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she's great.
Amy
She's really nice.
Eddie
Maybe she'll be around a little bit, but.
Bobby Bones
No, I. She's moved to Portugal.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
What about main residence?
Amy
Never mind. I guess I can't listen for. Well, I mean, but she'll be back because kids, Right.
Eddie
Don't know. Don't know. Emoji.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So, yeah, Keith and Nicole. That sucks. Morgan and her. Man. That's good.
Eddie
Morgan, I don't want you to feel like that about us. Like, we have conversations. That's what we do.
Amy
What would be help? Like, okay, maybe moving forward. It's already out. What's out is out. She feels as though this boyfriend is different. He seems very different. He's the one where she's claiming, I guess he could be the one. And so now let's just move forward with this relationship. And be supportive in it. Like, how can we best support.
Bobby Bones
We've been supportive in every relationship.
Eddie
We're also guarding our heart, too, by.
Amy
Eddie, stop. That's being dramatic.
Eddie
Well, I've never met.
Amy
You're not guarding her.
Eddie
I've never met this guy.
Amy
Yeah, exactly. So you don't need to guard your heart.
Bobby Bones
I would say, though, that my irritation comes from being protective of her.
Amy
Right. And then you felt like, whoa, I protected. And now I'm being thrown in.
Bobby Bones
Now I'm getting. I'm taking strays here. When I've been the only dude on the show that's been protective at all.
Amy
I think the takeaway here is, like, now we see the. The bigger picture. And strays likely won't get thrown.
Bobby Bones
No, they'll always get thrown around here.
Eddie
I mean, you have to.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's just kind of the nature.
Eddie
Of the show we do we mess.
Bobby Bones
With each other, then we gotta find. Then we gotta find.
Amy
I know, but see, that's what's.
Bobby Bones
We talk about, things we screenshot it to remember.
Amy
Isn't it more fun when we do get to mess with each other and people aren't like, really?
Bobby Bones
Yes. If we actually.
Eddie
Really what?
Bobby Bones
If we actually hated each other, we couldn't have this conversation.
Eddie
Like, you know how many times I could be upset about things like the kidney thing. I really do want to donate kidney.
Bobby Bones
Shut up, Eddie.
Eddie
Make fun of me.
Bobby Bones
Shut up. No, you don't. You suck.
Eddie
And I can be like, guys, you don't understand. I really do, but I don't. Even though I really do.
Amy
Someday, okay, Someday, okay, We will start support. How.
Bobby Bones
No, we're not doing this. We're not blanket supporting everybody. We have the right to do whatever we want. And the reason I think that we can fight a bit is because we know we'll come off of it. Like, these are real feelings.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But also because we genuinely don't dislike each other. We know in eight minutes, we'll be off this. On to the next thing.
Amy
Okay, but you can hear Morgan's side of it. And then you can be like, okay, I'm gonna move on now from this, but we can't.
Eddie
If they get married, we're done.
Bobby Bones
But my point was, even before the podcast, like, are you sure you should do this? Like, once you get engaged?
Eddie
You did say that. You did say that about the.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I've always been protective in that. And I am speaking against my best interests because that podcast is going to do great numbers, and it's on my network, and everybody gets paid more when a podcast does well. And I'm still like, I don't know if maybe we should pump the brakes just a little bit, like, make us less money for a minute and let's just be a little more sure. But that's just me, and that's just a feeling. And I've been through it and seen it a bunch of times. Not just with her and go. But it's her. She can do whatever she wants.
Amy
Morgan, how. What. How is the feedback from that episode?
Morgan
It's really awesome. And people have gotten an insight into him and now like him even more, which has been a cool experience. So I'm happy I did it. I'm glad that I shared. And, Bobby, I'm sorry. I really wasn't meaning for you to catch Straits. I promise. Like, that was not the intent behind any of that. I was truly just making a statement, and I shouldn't have. So I'll remember that. No strays.
Bobby Bones
I accept all your apologies. Everybody in this room, I accept your apology.
Eddie
Oh, good.
Bobby Bones
Yep. All of you. For everything you've ever done to me.
Eddie
Oh, all the things.
Bobby Bones
Right now, I'm just a blanket apology now. You don't. You don't need to apologize. But it's. We just killed a good seven minutes. That's good stuff. That's why.
Morgan
So more catching trays or.
Eddie
No, no.
Bobby Bones
Here's what else I have on my list, because I made a list of things. I wrote Morgan's IG comment. Go to pictures. Because I took a picture of it and saved up my phone. I keep everything in my app. I was doing a Bobby cast because I was like, how do you organize? I have, like, seven tabs that if I have a thought and I'm like, oh, I should do it, I just put it in a tab, and then I know when it shows up. I got 11 things to talk about. Here's one. Oh, I did Black Mannequin and Bad Bunny. I did that one already, right?
Eddie
Check, check.
Bobby Bones
Oh, the gross picture of me at night. That's another note I have.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't know how my wife even let me get her pregnant.
Amy
Y' all are me.
Eddie
That's a fair thought.
Amy
She's obviously attracted to you.
Bobby Bones
Not when you see this picture. She took a picture last night. She was feeling pretty good. Now she's had a rough bout with being pregnant, and there are a lot of people that have rough bouts. She said she's had a rough. And if she's feeling really bad and I'll be moving around in the bed, either late or early. I'll go sleep upstairs. And last night, she was like, I'm feeling actually okay. And so four nights, four to five nights a week, I'll sleep in our bedroom because it's. I love our bed. It's awesome. Our bedroom's great. But if she's not feeling good, I'll go upstairs, no problem. Especially in the morning. I pop so much when I roll out of bed that I feel like that wakes her up. Like, my knees. As soon as I bend my knees to roll up. Yeah, it feels like somebody's shooting cap guns at us. So I slept in the bed last night, but I'm on my phone way later than she is. She's not much of a phone person anyway. But we watched Task last night, and I was just thinking of Amy the whole time going, she's so wrong.
Amy
Wait, what?
Bobby Bones
How you hate the show. You said it's the worst show ever.
Amy
Nikki, now you are making up lies. That's just. I was gonna find a nicer way to say it, but. No, that's a lie.
Bobby Bones
I misinterpreted that. Then.
Amy
No, no, I can read you what I sent you. I said, no need to apologize. That was episode one, which, by the way, I got past episode one, and it has sped up, and it is better, and I'm dialed in. I just said it's stressful.
Bobby Bones
Save your apologies for another day. I don't need them anymore. But anyway, go ahead.
Amy
I'm not apologizing because I didn't say anything wrong. If anybody should be apologizing, it's you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I hear you. So I'm watching Taz thinking about Amy. Didn't like the show.
Amy
Shut up.
Bobby Bones
And the newest episode's awesome. And afterward, as kind of our show, we have, like, a show a week that we watch, and she's like, all right, I'm gonna go to bed. So I'm still on my phone. I'm over doing some tiktoks. I'm making some notes for the show. I'm sending Mike some bits, working on some YouTube clips, and my wife texts me a picture of me in the bed on my phone. And it's. She's just showing me how bright it is because I have it. I have, like, the. The blanket, the quilt, the comforter.
Eddie
Yeah. Comforter.
Bobby Bones
Is quilt a Southern thing?
Amy
Well, a quilt. I don't think I would call a blanket on top of the bed or the comforter a quilt.
Bobby Bones
It's definitely a comforter, but I think I go quilt first.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So that's probably a good. It's not a quilt. It's a comforter. I'd like to apologize for saying that, guys.
Amy
Yeah, okay.
Bobby Bones
You guys accept my apology.
Eddie
We accept your apology.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
I'm not offended.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. She takes this picture of me and you see how bright it is underneath the COVID It's like a sun ball coming out. And that's it. But I look like an old lady. I got old lady. I got weird chest hair. My. My neck is down, so my chin is like hanging out. It's just. I'm disgusting. Nobody told me how disgusting of a physical being I am until I saw this picture. And so, I mean, look, this is the worst picture of me ever taken.
Amy
I'm not throwing any strays.
Eddie
What do you see? Describe it.
Bobby Bones
It's not a stray.
Amy
Bobby already described it.
Eddie
You just.
Amy
And also, lighting is everything.
Bobby Bones
I'm like this, though, like, lighting creates.
Amy
Shadows and things that aren't actually there.
Bobby Bones
It's not even a triple chin. It's like a third neck.
Eddie
Oh. Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
It's so the neck doesn't end. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And it's like weird. Ch. Like, my chest hair is like doing a dance. Like a weird dance so you can.
Amy
Shave your chest hair.
Bobby Bones
I. I know. I. I've done it before.
Amy
Something.
Bobby Bones
I look disgusting. And I saw this picture and I was just like, I can't believe she let me put a baby in her.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
What.
Amy
So wait, why did she take it?
Bobby Bones
To show me how bright it was. When I think I'm covering up all the light.
Amy
That makes sense.
Bobby Bones
And it's like a fireball under the.
Amy
It's very, very bright. You're like a full on, like, lamp over there.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I wrote that. The gross picture of me at night. And I have one more. I ate oatmeal in the bath this morning.
Eddie
In the bath?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's pretty. Pretty good.
Amy
Hot oatmeal or overnight oats that are cold.
Bobby Bones
Hot oatmeal.
Amy
Hot oatmeal in a hot bath.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Yeah, that's kind of. That's kind of weird. The hot and hot.
Bobby Bones

I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group. Even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big old mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone.

Bobby Bones
It's a good morning. I. I was. I've been Traveling the last couple days, so I kind of got, like, travel allergies, and I have allergies anyway. But then when you travel and you don't sleep a bunch, I'm just kind of like. So I was like, I'll take me a hot bath. Love taking a hot bath. Bubbles, nuts. It's morning.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's really more of like, nice stretch out. Yeah. And so I was like, man, I do. I just heated up some oatmeal, too. And so I had hot oatmeal in the hot bath. Hot on hot worked.
Eddie
I wouldn't think that would work.
Bobby Bones
Hot on hot Crime. Pretty good this morning, but those are all my notes for this podcast so far. Those are where you are. The Keith and Nicole stuff's weird, though.
Amy
I know. Just reading about it.
Eddie
I woke up so sad today, and I was like, why am I. Why do I feel sad?
Bobby Bones
It's. That's not it. Stop.
Amy
Not because of Keith and Nicole.
Eddie
No, his task. Oh, I realized. Task.
Bobby Bones
Amy hates that show.
Amy
No, I don't.
Eddie
That's what I was gonna say. I can't believe you hate that.
Amy
No, it's.
Bobby Bones
She voted at number one, most hated show of 2025.
Amy
No, no. I got everybody watching it. We're all watching it together. It's probably gonna take me longer now.
Bobby Bones
She started a fan club.
Amy
My kids.
Bobby Bones
I'm leaving the Facebook, My friends, kids.
Amy
They're all like. Everybody's in. They're like, well, nobody watched Ask. Unless we're all watching.
Eddie
Did you warn them, though? What, that it's so bad?
Amy
No. First, they didn't even. They hopped in on episode two.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
Because that's not a shit. Yes, you can. Because we recapped them because we weren't going to rewatch the boring episodes.
Eddie
There's no way you recapped them on every level.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because also before episode two starts, they give you a recap.
Eddie
Yeah, but they're always missing stuff out.
Bobby Bones
All they're doing is. All they're doing in that recap is recapping on the parts of the storyline they're going to follow up on this episode.
Eddie
Correct. Assuming you already watched it. So you don't need all the little details.
Amy
We gave them the details. They're 13, 15, and 17. Also, my son. You can. It's fine.
Eddie
So never did they say, who's that? Because that's what I hate about.
Bobby Bones
What does he do?
Amy
Yeah, no, they did get.
Bobby Bones
Is he a good guy or bad guy?
Amy
Exactly. Well, but then there's the.
Bobby Bones
Just don't spoil anything. I wouldn't even talk about anything. But anyway, I'm glad you come along.
Morgan
Thanks.
Amy
Whatever.
Bobby Bones
Ray, would you play voicemail number two?
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I would like to know if Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's divorce is the divorce that Ray had in that envelope. Inquiring minds want to know. In our history, you've had two envelopes. One that Ray said and then one that I had made a prediction. This is not the prediction envelope. This is one before that. I ended up opening it and reading it. Ray. No, it's not what I predicted in the envelope. It is not. And would you like to say about. We don't want to say who, but would you like to say the. The latest on the couple that was in your envelope? Yeah, the couple that was in my envelope. They've definitely been spoken about over the past couple months, but they're not getting a divorce.
Eddie
But.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so that's a bit misleading. So they've been spoken about because they're famous? Yeah, I mean, they've just. It's. But they've been in the news. Are you sure? Yeah, but not in a bad way. Not in a bad way at all. Okay, got it. I felt like that's what the indication was. Like they've been spoken about, and you predicted they'd get divorced, so I think my understanding was you were indicating there's some negativity surrounding them. Nope, not negative at all. And honestly, I. I didn't know it was going to be this negative of a thing that followed me around for the next five years. I wish I never predicted it in the first place, because now every divorce that happens, it ties to me. Amy's divorce, Carly, you know, all these. Carly Rae Jepsen. Who are you?
Amy
Carly Pierce.
Bobby Bones
Carly Pierce. Oh, and then. And then the list goes on and on. And, you know, Kelsey Ballerini, all them peoples. Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
So they're all tied into Ray because he made a prediction. Interesting.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I just didn't know that country music community was gonna fall apart like that over the next couple years.
Eddie
That's not on you, dude.
Bobby Bones
All right, it could be like, maybe those couples have heard about Ray's envelope, and they're like, I think it's us. We might as well just go ahead and go forth. And then it's revealed it wasn't. They're like, dang it, why do we do that? All right, let me see what else I got here. How long are we gone before we take a break? 36. Oh, crap.
Eddie
Gosh, Maybe I woke up sad. Because of Keith and Nicole. And it's not Task.
Bobby Bones
Hey, you want to know this is not Tuesday reviews day. I think the last episode of the Peacemaker is the best Peacemaker episode I've ever seen. Mike, it's fantastic. Season two is so good. I don't know if you guys watched Peacemaker with John Cena.
Eddie
We don't. Is it. It's all done.
Bobby Bones
Season one's fully done. Eddie, you'll love it.
Eddie
Okay, then I need something because this whole waiting.
Bobby Bones
Watch Peacemaker.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
If you have hbo, Max, because that's what Task is on you. If you just watch it.
Eddie
Me and my wife. Yeah, your wife will like it.
Bobby Bones
Does she like Marvel stuff?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, she likes the Marvel stuff.
Bobby Bones
It's Marvel stuff, but it's a little kitschier.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
A little more humor into it. Some of the Marvel stuff's funny, but I think you're. Yeah, you're. Your wife's funnier than you are.
Eddie
She is.
Bobby Bones
And I think she'll like it. But you just have to get past, like, the stupid costume he wears, because that's part of it.
Eddie
Is he a superhero?
Bobby Bones
He is.
Eddie
Okay, good. I was either. I was thinking either that one or was the white rabbit.
Bobby Bones
Okay. We have. My wife watched it. Like I said, I haven't seen that.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
She loved it. But Peacemaker's awesome, right? Yeah, I love it. Morgan, Mike, both of you guys.
Morgan
Yeah, I really love it.
Bobby Bones
It's a good show. Yeah, my wife watches it with me. She loves it.
Eddie
Why don't you jump on Morgan's mic? You have your own mic.
Bobby Bones
I'm not. I'm on my mic. I think the last episode was the best. And every episode's good. I think it's the best episode I've ever seen of that show. Yeah. John Cena is a really good actor. He is really good. His arms are cartoon big, though. They're not even like, wow, that dude's got big arms. They're cartoon sized. I don't know how he gets shirts to fit him. Obviously they tailor them, but it's like they only have to tailor, like, the sleeves. They get a XXL, they have to do 4x on the sleeves.
Eddie
Who's a better wrestling actor, Rock or John Cena?
Bobby Bones
Different. I've only seen Cena do roles like this. Right. Pretty much.
Eddie
Which is the one where they go on vacation. Like a couple's vacation.
Bobby Bones
Vacation friends.
Eddie
Yeah, that was pretty good.
Bobby Bones
That Cena.
Eddie
Cena. It's comedy.
Bobby Bones
He's good at comedy. Like really dumb. Like slapstick comedy. He's great at it. So. Yeah, that's why I think it's different. I've seen the Rock in a bunch of stuff where he's not being funny.
Eddie
Dude, the one that, where he. Look, he's a wrestler or something.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so let me. Let me tell you about this.
Eddie
That one looks awesome.
Bobby Bones
All. So he's not. He's a UFC fighter.
Eddie
Oh, UFC fighter.
Bobby Bones
So I went to dinner with Ariel Hawani. You familiar? Look him up. You probably recognize him. He is like the biggest ufc, boxing, even wrestling. Got like a channel all over. Tick tock, YouTube. He crushes like he's the guy. And he was talking about that and he had the guy. Is the guy still alive? Mark Kerr? Yeah. Let me see.
Eddie
How do you spell Ariel?
Bobby Bones
A R. I'm pretty sure he is because I think he's in the movie as well. And I think he said that he had him on his show and so he's got like over a million Instagram followers. He was talking about he saw the movie and the documentary. He had watched the documentary years ago and then watched the movie because he's called the Smashing Machine.
Eddie
Smashing Machine, that's the name of the movie, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Comes out this week. And he recommended watching the documentary first and then the movie with a rock second. Okay. And that's like his main thing. But I had dinner with him. He was awesome. Wonderful guy.
Eddie
I can't.
Bobby Bones
You don't recognize him?
Eddie
Well, I can't pull him up. I need a spelling.
Bobby Bones
A R I E L I T T L E M E R. Say.
Eddie
The last name again.

Eddie
Let me see. Does he have cauliflower ear?
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
If so, I didn't notice it. And I sat right beside him on his right.
Eddie
That's the. The best thing to just like look at cuz it's so crazy.
Amy
Ew, I do not like looking at cauliflower ear.
Bobby Bones
Do you know you recognize Nick Wright? N I C K. I mean W R I G, H D. Yes. Yeah, we went.

Bobby Bones
I don't think he does either.
Amy
I'm looking.
Eddie
So he wasn't a fighter or was. He was a fighter.
Bobby Bones
I don't think he was a fighter.
Eddie
Oh, he's just a comment. A commentator.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie
That's really cool. Dang. What you guys talk about, dude, that's like. Those are your. Those are your people to talk about sports with.
Bobby Bones
We didn't talk a lot about sports. Oh, that's cool, because everybody does it.
Eddie
That's like, when we had dinner with Rich Eisen, we didn't talk about sports at all.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no sports. I went to a really. It was a really Italian restaurant in New York called, like, I don't know, El Rios. I didn't know what's on. I couldn't read the menu.
Eddie
Oh, it's, like, authentic, where you can't read it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I can't eat dairy, so I didn't want to be the guy. Because we're all packed into this place, like, back to back. There's, like, 30 tables, and when there should be, like, six. And so you're leaning up against somebody else at a table right next to you in this place. It's like one of those. And you know who was sitting, like, four tables over? Bryant Gumbel and Matt Lauer.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
Whoa.
Amy
Say what's.
Bobby Bones
I did. I said nothing.
Eddie
Amy.
Bobby Bones
I said nothing. They were just sitting over there, like, having a conversation.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. My agent is also their agent.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And that's who got us all together because we all didn't know each other, and I was in New York, and those two didn't know each other either, and they both went to Syracuse, so that was a whole conversation. I was like, I'm gonna check out on this one.
Eddie
Yeah. Don't know much about. We played the fair once.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. And then I didn't know what to order, so I just ordered a tuna.
Eddie
That's good, right? As long as there's no butter on it, Right?
Bobby Bones
There were no sides that came with it.
Eddie
That's not good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. They don't like. What sides do you want? So I just got a slab of tuna. Huh. Is it good? Not particularly, because I didn't know what to put with it. I didn't. I just. I didn't want to be a fool and order something and Then not eat it.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so I was just like, I'll have the tuna. How would you like it cooked? Medium. Okay. Is that it? Yeah. What would you like? And they are all having their chicken parm. Can't eat the parm. Everything's like parm, parm, parm.
Eddie
You have to ask her. Ask the server about butter. Dairy.
Bobby Bones
No, I just knew the tuna would have nothing. So yeah, that was the dinner. Okay, let's see what else we got here. Do you want to do? We're talking about Nicole. The 10 celebrity marriages you may have forgotten about.
Amy
Sure.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Trying to think you wouldn't because you forgotten about him.
Eddie
I did forget about him.
Bobby Bones
Can you try to name one? What are you, what are you, what are you reading over there?
Amy
I was looking at Brian Gumbel cuz I couldn't remember if he had, you.
Bobby Bones
Know, like his brother.
Amy
Yeah, Greg. Greg. I just read about him. He. I didn't know if he had issues like Matt with women.
Bobby Bones
Gumball.
Eddie
Gumball. Why?
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, no. You're saying. Okay, you're not comparing the two Gumball brothers. You're just saying Bryant Gumball with Matt Lauer. I think they were just the network together.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I do. I don't see, I don't.
Amy
Well, because I remember Katie Kirk. I think she talked about him. I don't know if it was a news article or when I read her book.
Bobby Bones
Gumball or Lauer?
Amy
Well, she talked about both, but I didn't know what she said about Gumball.
Bobby Bones
And does Gumball have anything.
Amy
It said that some of his behavior during his time with her was characterized as having an attitude and potentially sexist undertones.
Bobby Bones
But no me too type stuff.
Amy
Not that I can read right now, but I was thinking, oh, what a. I'd be like, what are they talking about over there?
Bobby Bones
Probably just friends from the network days.
Eddie
Just, just probably talking about normal things, old colleagues. What did Matt look like? Because he's not working right.
Bobby Bones
He ain't working.
Eddie
Full beard.
Amy
Yeah. I was picturing like, like David Letterman.
Eddie
You know, when they stopped working. It's just like I'm going full homeless look.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I don't remember if he had a beard. He definitely is older. He is older. That's been 10 plus years, right? Since that.
Eddie
Oh, has it been 10 years?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I'm always shocked. I'm surprised Bobby Petrino hasn't Coach Arkansas in 12, 13 years. However long that is. So I don't, I don't remember how long, Mike. 2017. Yeah. Almost 10 years. Eight years since that. Yeah. So he's definitely a lot older. He's probably in his 60s. Yeah, they were over there.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. He's 67. Wow. He's almost 70. Yeah. So it looked like an older guy, but I. I wouldn't have recognized him because the place was packed and my agent was like, okay, to write Matt Lauer and Bryant Gumble.
Eddie
Don't be obvious.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, nobody's. It's so crowded in those places, you could be obvious and nobody's going to know. It's all like, clank, clank, clang. Just loud, packed. Not for me. New York's not for me.
Eddie
Who did we see at dinner when we were walking out that time we were with. With Eisen.
Bobby Bones
Oh, we saw from the Matrix, Lawrence Fishburne. By himself. Eaten by.
Eddie
By himself.
Bobby Bones
That's cool.
Eddie
That was crazy.
Bobby Bones
Rich. Stop and talk to him because he'd had him on the show before his show. What?
Amy
Okay. His ex wife, Brian Gummel, I guess he.
Bobby Bones
Amy's deep diving on Gumball over there.
Amy
This is from the New York Post.
Bobby Bones
I knew she was into something because she was really attentive. Yeah.
Amy
But from the New York post in, like, 2001. So this is his. Must have been his first wife. He was married a couple times. He admitted to adultery, and she says he slept with more than 50 women during their 27 years of marriage. And I'm like, what, is she keeping, like a tally book? One, two.
Eddie
Did he have to admit to all 50? That's.
Amy
I don't mean that's her bombshell allegation. He called it notorious and stupid gossip. But I mean, if she's saying 50, it's either more or less.
Bobby Bones
Well, it doesn't have to be.
Amy
It could be. It's either more.
Bobby Bones
It probably is, but it doesn't have.
Eddie
To be so much that it felt like 50.
Bobby Bones
Or it could be that it's none at all and she just wants to paint him in a divorce fight. Those things get nasty.
Amy
Oh, true, true.
Eddie
But all you have to do on that one, Right?
Amy
He admitted to adultery.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but three, maybe.
Eddie
Yeah, you can say three. 50 is a lot. Dang, dude.
Bobby Bones
Listen, here's the thing. It's probably true, but I don't want to paint the brush of absolute truth when I don't know it and I don't know them.
Eddie
We need more of that right there.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Anyhow, I don't want to say anything because I don't know, people love to just say things even though they don't.
Bobby Bones
Know, like, I'll admit it's probably true, but I'm not gonna fight for it. Okay, 10 celebrity marriages you may have forgotten about. Here we go. This one you probably remember because. Well, I remember because he was on my show recently, but Drew Barrymore and Tom Green.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
They were married. So that to me feels a bit refamiliar because he was over on the Bobby cast. Dennis Rodman, Carmen Electra. Remember that? Yeah. So those are the two that you probably remembered. Here are some they say that people don't remember for the most part. Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher from Star Wars.
Eddie
No way. Princess Leia.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I didn't know they were married. They were married from 83 to 84. This one, I know her. I don't know if I know him. Uma Thurman and Gary Oldman.
Eddie
Yeah, you would know him if you saw a picture.
Bobby Bones
Probably would see a picture. Slow horses. That's him.
Eddie
That's it. That's it.
Bobby Bones
Is that show back as of today? I think the new season's back. That's the show. Amy hated that show.
Amy
I thought it was a little slow.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I actually didn't remember if you did. I was just making the joke again.
Eddie
Quote, Amy, quote. That's your quote. Little slow.
Amy
No, I just need to.
Bobby Bones
I really didn't remember if she hated it or not.
Amy
No, I didn't hate it. Actually, I think I liked it. I just haven't gone back to it. And I think because at some point I got a little bored.
Bobby Bones
It's. It's great. If you like task, you like slow horses. Okay, cool. Yeah. Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson. I think that's kind of come back into our. At least our periphery because of Ryan Reynolds with Blake Lively and all the drama that is. So then you kind of hear about some of the Scarlett Johansson stuff. Renee Zellweger and Kenny chesney.
Eddie
Remember that?
Bobby Bones
Four months in 2005.
Eddie
That was weird.
Bobby Bones
That's weird.
Amy
They divorced because of fraud, Something like that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Or the fraud who. Who frauded who?
Amy
I don't remember. I just remember the word fraud.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I think in the divorce filings, I think. Think she said something that is that of what Amy said.
Eddie
Like, okay, it's not like stealing goods. It's more just like I was deceived.
Amy
Something like that.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Nick Cage and Lisa Marie Presley from 0204.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, that's. That's weird.
Bobby Bones
Nick Cage and Patricia Arquette from 95, 2001. I get Patricia Arquette mixed up with the mom from Everybody Loves Raymond. Patricia Heaton.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Both Patricia's Carrie Fisher again, and Paul Simon. They're on the list again, but I think they're just doubled up here.
Eddie
You can use them both on both sides.
Amy
They got married twice.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, sorry. Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher. Carrie Fisher and Paul Simon.
Eddie
That's it.
Bobby Bones
James Gunn, who is the Guardians of the Galaxy and Superman. Director, also created Peacemaker, directs that. And Jenna Fisher from the Office. Oh, Pam. Huh? That was 2000. 2008. I didn't know that. I know her husband now. All right. I mean, I know him. We spent a weekend together once. Sounds weird. Her husband, now he's not famous. No. Like a director. He's in an episode. He plays. He's in that when they. Jim and Pam have the baby. He's like, plays a side character.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
But me, him and some friends stayed in a house at Augusta for the Masters one weekend and went to watch that. He was 4. It was me, him, Roddick and John Legend.
Eddie
That's crazy, dude. At the Masters.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was a good one.
Eddie
What a story.
Bobby Bones
I was like, I'm not gonna name drop. I like name dropping.
Amy
I like when you've told that story a long time ago.
Bobby Bones
I have.
Eddie
You have.
Bobby Bones
But I like when people come on the show and name drop. It's more entertaining when people name drop. Like, you're gonna tell a story, but keep out the names that we're, like, interested in. I hate when people do that. If I'm gonna be a guest on a show, I'm gonna name drop like crazy because I know that's for the audience of that show. That's more entertaining. It's not about a flex. Who gives a crap? But if I have stories and it involves people that they may know, I'm gonna drop the name every time because I think the audience deserves that if they're listening to it and I like it when they do it on this show. Somebody comes in, is like, yeah, I got the story. I was hanging out with this other artist. Tell us who the other artist is. I'm big pro. Name dropper for media, for the sake of the story. Yeah. If you're in, like, real life, it's 50. 50.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Sometimes I want to know the story and, like, who it is. Like, give me the.
Eddie
But, like, if people know what you do, name drop away. Because they want to hear the stories.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Mario Lopez and Ali Landry. 2004 to two weeks later, she found out he was a cheater.
Eddie
Mario 50 or more.
Bobby Bones
I Think they got married and they divorced. Yeah. And then Paul Abdul and Emilio Estevez. Whoa.
Eddie
That must have been like 80s.
Bobby Bones
92 to 94.
Eddie
Okay. It wasn't 80s.
Bobby Bones
One of the things about Emilio Estevez I found interesting from that Charlie Sheen documentary is he was kind of famous for. Charlie was.
Eddie
Yeah, he was Breakfast Club. Right.
Bobby Bones
He was the guy. Like, he was the guy. And Charlie had tried to go buy of Estevez, and he's like, I ain't working. I'm gonna do my dad's name. Which was fake name machine. Like, he tried to be Charlie Estevez, but his name in high school it showed was Carlos Estevez.
Eddie
That's crazy. Carlos Esteban.
Bobby Bones
Did you watch that?
Amy
Which. What?
Bobby Bones
A little slow. It was a little slow.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
The Charlie Sheen documentary.
Amy
Oh, no, I'm not. I'm not interested.
Bobby Bones
Really?
Amy
I feel like you told me. I feel like I got the gist.
Bobby Bones
I don't think you get the jest. If you're not interested, don't force yourself to watch it, because you won't like it if you're forcing it. But in episode one is slow. Because even I was like, so can.
Amy
I just skip to episode two?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you need that. Episode one.
Amy
Okay. Yeah. I definitely forgot when you mentioned that he had aids, I. You had aids or hiv. Hiv? I. I didn't.
Bobby Bones
Did Charlie Sheen has hiv?
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, I didn't know.
Amy
And now Bobby brought it up on the show.
Eddie
I don't remember.
Bobby Bones
We talk about a lot of crap. I know. I hear you. We always are. Like, we talked about that. And someone's like, yeah, it was a big part of my life in 2018. And we're like, I don't know. So, yeah, he was talking about. He had a menu, and he was like, listen, when you've had the whole menu. Because he's just talking about women like crazy. He goes, how you flip it over, you see what's on the other side.
Eddie
That's right.
Bobby Bones
Talking about dudes.
Eddie
Yes.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But he was like, I never did it when I wasn't, like, super drugged up. It was just, like, part.
Amy
So I'm sure he wasn't always fully protected and stuff.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
But also prostitutes.
Bobby Bones
Oh. All.
Amy
So, yeah. Drugs. Who knows? Yeah. He could have gotten hiv.
Bobby Bones
Man, that crack looked good, though.
Eddie
What crack?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
What do you mean, look good? What do you mean, look good?
Eddie
Let's try the menu.
Amy
Amy. No, that isn't.
Bobby Bones
He would talk about cook. I mean, just how it made him feel.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Like, of course drugs are going to make it's not the feeling the drug gives you that's bad. It's what you'll do and what you give up and what you lose out on because of the drug.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So it's never the bad thing, because there are other things that make you feel good, and those aren't all bad. Medicine makes you feel good, makes you feel better, but medicine doesn't keep you addicted. I mean, Afrin is that woman who did after for 20 years and finally quit.
Eddie
No, but every time I've got an Afrin or like the doctor says, get Afrin, they like, stop after a week, though.
Bobby Bones
She was like, I was 20 year addict.
Amy
Wait, what's Afrin?
Eddie
It's a nose spray. Nasal for just congestion. It clears you right up, but apparently it's addictive.
Amy
Does it also give you a little buzz or like. No, like a high. You feel good for a sec.
Bobby Bones
I think it makes you feel a certain way for a second when you start doing it, but then you start to feel bad if you don't get it.
Amy
Oh.
Bobby Bones
So when I say, like, crack looks good, not the. Not what happens after you come out for your high. Because that ruins lives. I've seen it firsthand in my life.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Meth, though. Not crack. Like, dirty meth.
Eddie
You've seen meth?
Bobby Bones
Dirty meth? Yeah. Not even rich person meth. Like, crystal meth is rich person meth. Quality chemicals. Like, the meth that I was around was generic Sudafed. Yes. Bleach in a camper. Like, we'd have friends. Not my friends, but, like, adult friends that we would know. All of a sudden their camper would just catch on fire. Now, looking back as an adult, it's like they were cooking meth. That's why their campers would catch on fire. But at the time, I was like, man, a lot of campers catching on fire. It must be that time of year. But yeah, I mean, he was like, man, crack, you just felt like you're the strongest, greatest, most loved person on earth. Who wouldn't want to feel that? I think everybody wants to feel that, but nobody wants the effects of the drug to happen to them.
Amy
Yeah. I think I've heard heroin described as like, a warm hug.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And then it's a dragon. I chase it, right?
Eddie
Yeah. Keep chasing that drag.
Bobby Bones
I keep chasing the dragon. Oh, man, we really got to nothing. I have all this other stuff on my list. I'm going to Austin this afternoon to do a at the Paramount, my favorite theater of my life. Like, the one that meant the most. I'M doing.
Amy
It's Lionel Richie.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna do a stage show with Lionel. Not. I'm not singing hello. But it does say show. I was looking at the thing tonight. We're doing two hours, one hour, just me and Lionel talking. And then an hour is like audience stuff. I'm just. And I'm going to moderate that. But I'm doing an hour long interview. So where the whole Bobby the crew is going down to shoot it and we're all going down to.
Eddie
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
The trade. I would have done it for free. And I am doing it for free because they're not paying me. But they said hey, because they had. Lionel was doing four of these theaters. He did Robin Roberts in New York. I think maybe Jimmy Kimmel in Los Angeles hosted that one. Sebastian Manow in Las Vegas and me in Austin and dude, heavy hitters. That's pretty cool. I'm by far the lowest of that. But it's pretty cool that to be on matter.
Eddie
It's awesome.
Bobby Bones
And they said, hey, will you come do it? All the other places, all those people live there. But they knew Austin's like a home to me.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And they said, would you come down to Austin to do it? And I was like, yeah. They said, we'll pay for your flights, whatever. And I said, don't. You don't pay for anything. But can I record it and keep all the content? Like for sure. And so we're setting up multi cameras and recording that for a Bobby cast in a couple weeks. Probably. Maybe we have to beat that. It depends on when they want it out for the book. But we're gonna go shoot that tonight.
Eddie
It's so cool.
Bobby Bones
It's so cool. Lionel's the greatest. He's awesome.
Eddie
When you go, have you seen the Houdini hole in at the Paramount?
Bobby Bones
Yes. You've seen it? Yeah, yeah, I've played it a couple times. They showed me that.
Eddie
Tell Lionel that.
Bobby Bones
No, because he'll be like, oh, I did. My first Houdini hole was 1976. You ever have a menu? I flipped it over, I got in his Houdini hole.
Eddie
I needed more.
Bobby Bones
And we're like, wait, no, no, no. Lionel. You want to know a crazy thing about Lionel Richie is that he started the Commodores at 19 years old with his college buddies.
Eddie
How do you know that he's got a book out the year.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Was 1965. Yeah, 19 years old. And he was in the commodore for like 15 years or so and then broke off in early 80s to go solo.
Eddie
What's a Commodore song that we think is a Lionel Richie song? I feel like there's some big ones that I've always thought were Lionel Richie songs, but they're not.
Bobby Bones
Let me just look at all the Commodore songs because I don't want to be wrong.
Eddie
Maybe Sunday Morning. Easy. Like Sunday Morning that might be Commodore.
Bobby Bones
The biggest one that you may not even know as Lionel Richie, though, to be fair, is she's a brick house.
Eddie
Commodore.
Bobby Bones
Commodores.
Eddie
Good one.
Bobby Bones
But that to me, doesn't sound like Lionel Richie. But he.
Eddie
That's him singing, right? He does the lead.
Bobby Bones
Easy like Sunday Morning. Yeah.
Eddie
I always thought that was a Lionel Richie song.
Bobby Bones
Three Times a Lady.
Eddie
One.
Amy
One, two, Three Times.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Jam. Yeah, Those Night Shift. I don't. Let me see if I know. Night Shift Forever.
Amy
Is that it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, hold on. This is Commodore. I don't know.
Eddie
Different song.
Bobby Bones
Amy, now you're. You're. All night long. All night. Yeah, there's that. So I'm gonna go do that tonight. I mean, I'll be back.
Amy
That's fine.
Bobby Bones
The show tomorrow, so. Yeah, we're gonna go down and record that Hope. Yeah, that should be cool, huh? Yeah, awesome. Like, in multiple ways. Like, it'll be great seeing Lionel again. And they're so nice. His wife is so nice. His wife and my wife talk. And like, when we announced that we're having a baby, she reached out to Caitlin. So, like, we know them a little bit. I think they talk more than Lionel and I talk for sure. But it'll be good to see them. But also that they just allow us to record all this and just have it known it. Put it up on the. All the Bobby cast stuff goes up on a channel. It's at Bobby bones channel on YouTube. So we have the Bob show and then we have. At Bobby Bones Channel got Dave Ramsey up, which was on the show today. But. Okay, I think that's it. We good on everything, Mike? We are good. All right, so thank you guys for listening and we will see you guys tomorrow. And I hope you have a good rest of the Wednesday. And that's all. Goodbye, everybody.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn more@electricforall.org this is an iHeart podcast.
Episode Overview
This episode of The Bobby Bones Show features candid recounting of Bobby’s whirlwind work trip to New York, open discussions about social media backlash and internet outrage (including the now infamous Cracker Barrel “controversy”), a behind-the-scenes look at Morgan’s recent podcast episode and her defense of relationship choices, plus a segment on the surprising breakup news involving Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, with Bobby offering rare personal commentary after speaking directly to Keith. The team closes out with humor, celebrity-spotting escapades in New York, and recommendations for TV shows. Throughout, themes of internet culture, public perception, friendship, and empathy run strong.
[02:52 – 04:55]
[04:55 – 14:04]
Bobby describes posting a video at NFL HQ featuring gray mannequins, which led to DMs accusing the NFL of “making all the mannequins black.” He clarifies repeatedly:
“They were gray. Everybody looks for every reason to get upset.” – Bobby, 05:44
Conversation expands into internet outrage cycles, referencing the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show and how people stir up controversy over trivial issues:
