Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Lainey Wilson’s CMA Awards Hosting Experience

• Preparation & Mindset:
  • Lainey shares the intense mental focus leading up to hosting solo—meditation, grounding herself in the moment, and the pressure of representing country music on one of its biggest stages.
    • “The week leading up to it, I was just trying to get in the zone any way that I possibly could…to make sure I was actually in every single moment and not, like, skipping ahead.” — Lainey Wilson (03:03)
• Nerves Hosting Alone:
  • Initially, she says "great, let’s do it", but closer to the show felt the nerves:
    • “I really did say yes, that I’m gonna do this thing by myself. So, um, no pressure.” — Lainey Wilson (03:57)
• Handling Mistakes Onstage:
  • Admits to stumbling over lines and practicing “goldfish brain” (letting mistakes go)—something only she noticed.
    • “Nobody notices except for you. That's the craziest thing.” — Bobby Bones (05:17)
• Wardrobe:
  • Seven total costume changes; most were loaned, a few kept.
  • Her mom has been wearing some of her hand-me-downs—outfits with “glitter and deep plunges.” (07:57)

  • Lainey talks about keeping her relationship with fiancé “Duck” special, despite being in the public eye.
    • “It can get pretty sticky or dangerous when everybody knows everything.” — Lainey Wilson (10:15)

  • She'll be on the “Family Guy Christmas Special,” singing in her first animated appearance.
    • “I’d like to get into more of that [voiceover].” — Lainey (13:00)
• Macy’s Day Parade Performance:
  • She’ll perform on the ground, not on a float (“the big ones go on the ground”), and will sing live instead of lip-synching.

4. Fun Facts & Rumor Busters

• Bobby rattles off online “fun facts” about Lainey—many of which are false:
  • Does not hate being barefoot; doesn’t whistle well; didn’t travel with a blowup mattress; never taped bell bottoms for tailoring.
• She writes some melodies in the car but doesn't write lyrics while driving.

5. Grand Ole Opry & Country Roots

Thanksgiving Sides: Heated Debate & Humor

[Begins at 22:10]

• Listener Hannah (UPS worker) calls in: Wants to know everyone’s favorite Thanksgiving side.
• Bobby:
  • Loves fried okra, but “dressing” (stuffing) is #1 core side; mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, corn are also musts.
    • “Turkey is not that good. I love turkey when there are other great things with it, but by itself, turkey just isn’t that good.” — Bobby Bones (23:03)
• Amy:
  • Always brings ketchup for turkey (!)—“probably the only person at the table with ketchup” (23:51)
  • Dressing/stuffing, mac and cheese, sweet potato casserole/candied yams are favorites.
    • “You mix it in with some of your salty things on your plate and it’s just so good.” — Amy (25:33)
• Eddie:
  • Big defender of the roll (“It's the favorite part of the meal” 26:14); loves making turkey sandwiches out of it.
  • Prefers King’s Hawaiian or bakery style oven rolls.
• Lunchbox:
  • Rolls are #1—“have five of them, then you’re like, should I have eaten five? Give me a sixth!”
• Laney Wilson:
  • Loves green bean casserole—her wife's version uses cream of onion instead of mushroom.
• Bobby’s Dairy-free Thanksgiving:
  • Bobby can’t eat dairy, so brings his own dishes, tries lactaid but “it doesn’t fully work.”
  • Conversation devolves into strategies for surviving family holidays with dietary restrictions.

Bobby Bones. All right, so we're gonna get over to Laney Wilson, who did a great job at the cmas. Thank you to all the parturs who listen to the podcast every single day. Very appreciative of you guys. And so we will come back and do our version of this podcast, but first, here's our interview with Lainey Wilson on the Bobby Bones Show.

[Amy]

Now, Lainey Wilson.

[Bobby Bones]

Lanya, good to see you. Great job at cmas.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

What went on leading up to it? Like, what kind of work did you do pre that we didn't get to see?

[Laney Wilson]

Honestly, for me, like, the week leading up to it, I was just trying to, like, get in the zone any way that I possibly could, like, spending, like, alone time, doing meditations, doing all that kind of stuff to make sure that I was actually in every single moment and not, like, you know, skipping ahead and. Because I think that's when I could have, like, really screwed up.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your fear then?

[Laney Wilson]

It was, first of all, that it was gonna fly by and that I was just not gonna, like, be where my feet were. I wanted to make sure that I represented country music the best way that I could, and I knew that this was, like, a huge opportunity. And the truth is, it could have, like, really helped me or it could have really hurt me. And I didn't even realize that until it started getting closer to time.

[Bobby Bones]

When they said, hey, we want you to do it by yourself, but you're gonna do it by yourself. No, Luke, no Peyton. What were your thoughts?

[Laney Wilson]

I was like. I mean, at first, without even skipping a beat, I'm like, great, let's do it. Let's do it. And then as time, like, as it got closer, I'm like, I really did say, yes, that I'm gonna do this thing by myself. So, um, no pressure.

[Bobby Bones]

You did awesome job, by the way.

[Amy]

Yeah, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Awesome job.

[Laney Wilson]

I enjoyed it.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get to. While in the middle of it, appreciate it?

[Laney Wilson]

I did, and I did. And I think, like, I was just so bound and determined. I'm like, okay. When I'm up there doing these, like, 18 hits that I was doing, when I'm up here doing my performances or whatever, like, I do not need to be thinking about what I'm, like, about to be doing here in, like, five minutes. I just have to be exactly where my feet are, and I think that helped a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

What about Goldfish Brain? If, like, you stumbled on something, were you able to. And I didn't see you stumble on anything?

[Laney Wilson]

I did stumble a few times.

[Bobby Bones]

So listen, I've hosted a bunch of stuff, and I have to, like, move on, and, like, I'll beat myself up later. Because it will affect what happens in the future.

[Laney Wilson]

That's it. When you get, like, tongue tied, were.

[Bobby Bones]

You able to have goldfish brain and not think about any sort of tongue ties to just move to the next thing?

[Laney Wilson]

I thought about it a little bit after I kind of, like stumbled on a big X the plug thing. I said something about his debut record. I was like, debut country record. What in the world am I doing? Cause little things like that matter and probably it's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause nobody notices except for you. Yeah, that's the craziest thing, is nobody in the whole world would notice. But, you know. Cause it was, you know, you were.

[Laney Wilson]

Doing it and then also closing out the show. I forgot that I was hosting the show.

[Bobby Bones]

That's hilarious. Well, you also want, I think where you get the benefit here is you're freaking entertainer of the year. So you kind of.

[Laney Wilson]

And then literally, Keith Harvin was like, bro, you gotta close out the show. You gotta close out the show. I was like, oh, shit, I gotta bring us home.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you watch it back?

[Laney Wilson]

I haven't yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Will you watch it?

[Laney Wilson]

I think I will. And most of the time I will say, like, I don't watch any performances back. I don't. Because, like, what's done is done. And I know me, I'm gonna be like, should have done that different. Should have done that different. But I think when Duck gets home from duck hunting, I think we'll probably sit on the couch and watch it.

[Bobby Bones]

What did he say after the show?

[Laney Wilson]

He. He was like. He was like, you killed it. And I was like, you're partial. And he's like, no, but you really.

[Bobby Bones]

Both can be true, though.

[Laney Wilson]

But both can be true. I really do think that he was proud. He was like, I never doubted it.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's really cool. You did a really great job. I'm super proud for you.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, super good.

[Laney Wilson]

I feel good.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you. You win. What were you more ner. Maybe nervous isn't the word. It's the easy word. But were you more nervous about the awards or the hosting?

[Laney Wilson]

I didn't even think, like, I was so tied up with the hosting and with, like, making sure that. That, like, opening medley, monologue thing that I did and stuff like that. I was, like, hitting my marks that, honestly, I thought, I'm hosting this year, I probably ain't gonna win a thing. And I wasn't even thinking about that.

[Bobby Bones]

How many wardrobe changes did you have? Do you know?

[Laney Wilson]

I think all together, it was like seven or something like that.

[Bobby Bones]

What happens to those clothes?

[Laney Wilson]

Well, some of them have to go back to where they came from, from the designers, and some of them actually got to keep so. Well, say. Yeah, Most of them are just loners. I don't know how that works with you. Do you. Do you, like, buy the suits or.

[Bobby Bones]

They'll usually give them to me.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys are different, though. Like, we dribble and pee and stuff.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, true. Very true.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, honestly, no. We're dirtier.

[Laney Wilson]

They don't want it back.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they don't.

[Eddie]

Why are you giving away our secrets?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, dribble.

[Amy]

Is that why y' all do it? So you can keep the clothes?

[Laney Wilson]

That's hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

I also had, like, in my contract when I was on certain shows to keep the clothes, but we can wear them multiple times and nobody notices. Like, your stuff is so dynamic.

[Laney Wilson]

You won't be able to wear it again.

[Amy]

I feel like your stuff could end up in, like, a Country Music hall of fame or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you saving stuff for that?

[Laney Wilson]

Oh, yeah. We got a big archive. I honestly need to get in there and figure out, like, what needs to stay and what needs to go. It's too much.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you saying Lanie Wilson needs to go through her closet and clean stuff out like everybody else?

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You're normal like us.

[Laney Wilson]

I just sent five trash bags home with my mama. My mama's wearing all my hand me downs right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Her mom's walking around in these CMA outfits with, like, the glitters.

[Eddie]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

She's at Walmart.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Amy]

The Deep plunges.

[Laney Wilson]

Oh, yeah. My mama loves dressing up, so I don't doubt it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny.

[Laney Wilson]

Don't doubt it.

[Bobby Bones]

How's everything else going?

[Laney Wilson]

Everything else is good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Are you tired right now, or are you coming off the high?

[Laney Wilson]

I actually feel good. I mean, I've sat on my couch for, like, four days straight, and that's enough for me. I'm like, okay, what next? So we're doing Macy's Day Parade.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you. That show is almost impossible to sing at because those floats, they move, and it's hard to sing. Are you singing or are you lip syncing?

[Laney Wilson]

We're singing, but we're doing it, like, down on the ground so I'm not on a float.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Laney Wilson]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you're one of the big ones, then? Because the big ones, they put on the ground.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, you know that.

[Amy]

No, have you done the flip before?

[Bobby Bones]

You know that?

[Eddie]

Stop it.

[Amy]

Like, have you done.

[Laney Wilson]

Have you not, like, been to the Macy's Day Parade?

[Amy]

Okay, well, this is good, then. You're getting like. Yeah. Because I always feel awkward for the people. I mean, it's cool. They get to be on the float, but I feel awkward for the.

[Laney Wilson]

I'm not trying to lip sing. I'm not trying to do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it'd be hard.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes. I mean, it would be my luck that my lips would not match up. You know, I'd be holding that note, and there's no music there.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you run out of acceptance speeches?

[Laney Wilson]

I do feel like I'm like, what have I not said? I mean, the truth is, I feel like I've. I've said everything, but just. Even when it comes to, like, my writing and stuff like that, I'm having to. I've written so many songs at this point, I'm like, okay, it's time. It's time to dig deeper, you know? What have I not talked about? What. What am I learning about myself? And so I think it, like, if I'm willing to be open and honest about, like, all of my feelings and stuff, which some. I keep a lot to myself, too, but can't tell all your business, Then you have none. Then I feel like I still have a lot more to share.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you learning that the more famous you get, the more you do want to hold back?

[Laney Wilson]

I definitely think it's very important for me to try to keep some stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you were all out there. Like, when you started, it was like, I'm lany. This is everything about me.

[Laney Wilson]

Y.

[Bobby Bones]

But now, are there things you want to keep, like, precious?

[Laney Wilson]

I do. I really do. And even though, like, me and Duck, you know, like, everybody. Everybody knows about us and our relationship, that's another thing that, like, it's really sacred to me, you know, I just want to. I just want to do it. Most married couples do and treat each other that way. And so, I don't know. I do feel like it can get pretty sticky or dangerous when everybody knows everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. When I was single, which was for a long time, I was like, everybody can know everything. But, man, when you get a partner.

[Laney Wilson]

And stuff, it changes.

[Bobby Bones]

It does, because stuff affects them. Like, if I would say something stupid, it would affect my wife.

[Laney Wilson]

That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

And so, yeah, I started. There started to be very precious parts of our relationship, too, that I never really even thought would happen to me because I'm like, I'm putting it all out there. It doesn't matter. But then if I can come back weird on, then I don't want it out there.

[Laney Wilson]

That's Right, that's right. I'm. I'm the same way. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So obviously you've acted, but you're doing the movie that's coming out. Yep.

[Laney Wilson]

Reminders.

[Bobby Bones]

Reminders of him. That's next year, right?

[Laney Wilson]

Yep. I believe it's coming out in March.

[Bobby Bones]

How long ago did you shoot that?

[Laney Wilson]

It was this summer.

[Bobby Bones]

How was that? How was it different shooting a movie than a television show?

[Laney Wilson]

I will say this was my first role where I was actually somebody that was not a musician.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you got to play somebody other than yourself.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Laney Wilson]

So that was a big thing.

[Bobby Bones]

But you didn't play yourself in Yellowstone. It was just a version of yourself. For sure, to be fair. Yeah.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, for sure. But this was, like, definitely not, you know, I mean, of course I found, like, parts of myself in the character in the movie because I think it's important to do that in general, you know, when you're. When you're acting. At least that's. That's what I'm learning right now. I'm brand spanking new at it, but, yeah, it was fun. I was there. I think we filmed like three or four days, knocked it out. And for Yellowstone, it was like a couple days here, and then you'd have to go back a month later and then a couple days there, and so this was much quicker.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you enjoy it more?

[Laney Wilson]

I enjoyed it. I don't know about more. I feel like it was just different. I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you seen it back?

[Laney Wilson]

I have not seen it back. I probably won't see it back till everybody sees it back.

[Bobby Bones]

So they don't. They don't send it for you to see or anything?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels like when a songwriter writes a song and they really don't. They don't get to hear it till it's fully cut on an album.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, that's how it feels.

[Bobby Bones]

That's about what it reminds me of.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, we'll see. I think it's gonna be good.

[Amy]

Amy, did your character have an accent? Like your accent? Yes. Because on Yellowstone, you were British.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes.

[Amy]

I mean, you were. Your. You were a singer.

[Laney Wilson]

You were.

[Amy]

It's like western. It's the vibe, like, for sure.

[Laney Wilson]

And my first. Like the first season that we did with Yellowstone, you know Kelly Reilly, who plays Beth on the show?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Laney Wilson]

She asked me. She was like, right when I met her, she said, is your accent real? And I said, is your accent real? Because she's British. But, yeah, so I kept the same accent. They didn't ask me to change it. I mean, this is it is what it is. I definitely will need a lot more coaching if I ever get a role where I have to just, like, be even keel.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes. I'll see actors talk in their regular voice and they're not American. Blown away.

[Amy]

Blows my mind.

[Laney Wilson]

It blows my mind.

[Amy]

The biggest one is that guy from Walking Dead, the sheriff from Georgia.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he's. I'm like, no, dude, you're from Atlanta. You're a cop from Atlanta.

[Amy]

Like, that always throws me. You also had your. You're going to be on Family Guy on Friday night, right?

[Laney Wilson]

That's right. Is that Friday night?

[Lunchbox]

It is.

[Amy]

It premieres on Friday. Yeah, the Family Guy Christmas special. And so that's your first animated.

[Laney Wilson]

So you were just being you. Yes. I mean, it was. I mean, I'm just singing a little song, so that was my first, like, voiceover type thing I did. I'd like to get into more of that.

[Bobby Bones]

I like your hat.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously. Howdy.

[Laney Wilson]

Howdy. Is Mini Pearl.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah. But Marcus King's wife, Briley King. This is her. Her hat.

[Amy]

Oh, she has the cutest hat.

[Laney Wilson]

She has the cutest hats.

[Amy]

Yeah, but she.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a. But that's a mini pro. Howdy.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, but she just got the.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, it's got the little. I don't know if you can say the little price tag on the back right here.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Laney Wilson]

Because she had the price tag that was $1,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Laney Wilson]

1,000.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no price. There's a. I was doing. I'm currently producing a podcast, and a part of it, it's about Mini Pearl.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

And how. What a lot of people. And I think we know. But a lot of people that would just, like, see her at the Opry or see her as the character. She was like, a classically trained vocalist, and she, like.

[Laney Wilson]

Same.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And she would, like, you know, play the character on stage, but she was, you know, very trained. Very stage. It was really cool that she had all these abilities, but she loved Nashville and country music so much and loved the Opry so much, I think, about you. I mean, because obviously, the Opry's been a big part of your life, too.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you remember when they invited you to be a member of the Opry?

[Laney Wilson]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

What was that story?

[Laney Wilson]

So I was. I was on the Voice and.

[Bobby Bones]

Reba, you weren't competing. You were.

[Laney Wilson]

No, no, I wasn't competing. I never made it on the Voice. Remember, I tried out, like, seven or eight times. I said, nah, girl. But I was just doing A performance. And then I had had a birthday a couple days before, and I thought Reva was coming up with, like, a little thing of cupcakes. And then she had this belt buckle and invited me to be a member of the Opry. So I will never forget that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's 100 years. It's crazy that the Opry has 100 years. Been able to, as they say, you know, keep the circle unbroken. Do you know how many times you played it?

[Laney Wilson]

If I had to guess, I don't know, maybe 40. Yeah, I feel like 40.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a weird thing that says you hate being barefoot. I find that to be weird because I consider you be a country barefoot person.

[Laney Wilson]

Who said, I hate being barefoot?

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I thought. So it's not true.

[Laney Wilson]

It ain't true.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I don't. I mean, I could get behind not wanting to. Like, if you're at a hotel. I don't rock barefoot on anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think there's being in a gross place, like a bathroom, on an airplane, barefoot. I don't like that.

[Amy]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying.

[Amy]

Well, but I mean, there's times where. Yeah, being barefoot.

[Bobby Bones]

But can I read you? Because what these fun facts that I just found about you are.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. She hates being barefoot.

[Laney Wilson]

That's weird. Now, I probably have mentioned in the past that I had plantar's fasciitis. It's not flared up right now, but I've had it in the back.

[Eddie]

That'll hurt if you're barefooted.

[Amy]

Well, no, she just doesn't want to see it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it hurt. It also hurts.

[Eddie]

You can't really see it.

[Amy]

Oh, you can't?

[Laney Wilson]

I can't see it.

[Amy]

Okay. Just kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

You think it's like a warp.

[Amy]

Sorry, my bad. I was thinking bunions.

[Laney Wilson]

You're thinking bun. You're like, why would you tell somebody you got bunions? I don't have bunions. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

She's shockingly good at whistling.

[Laney Wilson]

Absolutely not. I cannot whistle. Watch.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm telling you, when I read these, I was like, this stuff can't be true.

[Eddie]

You just made all that stuff up?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, let's see. Yes, she writes many of her lyrics while driving.

[Laney Wilson]

I do write some of my lyrics while driving, but not a lot of them. I mean, I might come up with, like, a random melody or something and put it in my little voice memo.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't like while you're driving?

[Laney Wilson]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

That's unsafe.

[Laney Wilson]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I just want to cover you there.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, this is probably true. You traveled with a blow up mattress when you were playing early on.

[Laney Wilson]

No, I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, in your camper? You know, blow up mattress or anything?

[Laney Wilson]

No, I mean, I had. I had a bed in my camper.

[Eddie]

Look at you.

[Bobby Bones]

Fancy. Hey, Flex.

[Amy]

That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

List. You used to tape your bell bottoms because you couldn't afford tailoring.

[Laney Wilson]

Tape them.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what.

[Laney Wilson]

Who came up with these?

[Bobby Bones]

I literally, before you walked in, I said, tell me something new about Lainey Wilson just to see what the Internet would say. And all this came up, bunch of lies.

[Laney Wilson]

False. False.

[Amy]

Well, I have a true or false, but it might be awkward.

[Laney Wilson]

What.

[Amy]

Is it okay?

[Eddie]

Is it about warts?

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you asking me if it's okay? I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay, true or false. You ran into Lunchbox in a parking garage and like, did you know it was Lunchbox or you just recognized his.

[Laney Wilson]

No, I knew it was Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

You asked the question in a way.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it was a weird way.

[Bobby Bones]

It was like, which one of us did you run into in a parking garage? Because she's so nice, even if she didn't know it was him, she's gonna stop.

[Laney Wilson]

That would be a question. I was coming out. I was going into the doctor's office, see, and you're coming out of the doctor's office.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you. And I said that. They're like, you can't say.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we didn't want you to say. We didn't want him to say anything.

[Laney Wilson]

About you being at a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, but that's your right to tell. He was like, she was coming out of the doctor. Like, don't say she's a doctor.

[Lunchbox]

But I'm like, everybody goes, you know me.

[Laney Wilson]

I'm. Yeah, I ain't wrong with that.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't think it was a big.

[Laney Wilson]

It was like an ENT or something like that. We both had your nose, throat problems.

[Bobby Bones]

She said, he said, you're with your fiance. And I was like, hey, who knows why they're in the doctor? That's their own business. We'll just keep doctor out of it.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, I think I had like, some bad double ear infection.

[Amy]

Well, that would have been. He could have said ENT and that might. Well, giving your specifics, we're like, you.

[Eddie]

Know, leave it out.

[Bobby Bones]

So we have. We have hipaa. I think if you'd asked the question differently, we could have got a different answer.

[Amy]

No, I think she really would say. She's not. We. I didn't lead the witness.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, she Even said, what doctor? I never said that. She. What doctor? It was so she knew who it was. Like, it was.

[Laney Wilson]

Were you at the same doctor?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, 100%.

[Amy]

Okay. See, because he brought this story in and then we just didn't know. We were like, I think she was just being nice and maybe said hi to you.

[Bobby Bones]

But stop, like, anybody that comes up to you. Like, what's up, person?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Laney Wilson]

Hey, how's your mama?

[Bobby Bones]

Lani, congratulations on everything.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing the CBS New Year's Eve Live. Is that that when you're on television, do you micro monitor your movements more? Because you know a camera's on you way closer.

[Laney Wilson]

I definitely feel like I, like, play.

[Bobby Bones]

To the camera, like, winks and smiles and stuff that maybe you wouldn't do at a festival show because people aren't.

[Laney Wilson]

That close, I do think. And. And you would probably agree that, like, the way that you perform has to be a little bit different. Just like when you're singing at a show versus when you're singing the song in the studio, you have to kind of just like, be able to bob and weave. Yeah, I think it's a little different.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations on everything. We're super proud for you.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

And you wrapped up the Whirlwind tour, right?

[Laney Wilson]

We're about to go do the Australian leg in February, but we've wrapped up the American leg.

[Bobby Bones]

How does an Australian. Have you done Australia yet?

[Laney Wilson]

I have.

[Bobby Bones]

And, like, our tickets over there, is it crazy they sell because.

[Laney Wilson]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you don't have any cousins over there?

[Laney Wilson]

No cousins. Yeah, but they're. I mean, they're like British Texans. That's what it's like, really. They like to have a good time.

[Amy]

It's great.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, any final questions for Lani?

[Amy]

Well, did you take dance as a kid?

[Laney Wilson]

I took jazz, tap, and ballet from the time I was, like, tiny to, like seven years old.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Laney Wilson]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I was wondering that the other day about you, so I thought I'd just ask you now because I'm like, I just didn't know once, like, your shows pick up and you start adding more elements and you are doing the award shows and whatnot, and you have to add more to it because I didn't know what your shows were like back in the early days. Which, speaking of, I saw you do post that clip of the fan that was at your Casino show, and you said, like, nobody was there. And she comes to, like, a lot of your shows, and you saw her and it was like, now a packed crowd oh, and you even got her name. Like, I don't know what those shows were like back in the day, but now you've got so many different elements to it. And I'm like, I wonder if she had to learn how to dance or she's already a good dancer.

[Laney Wilson]

Well, I don't even know if I'd say I'm a good dancer. I just like to dance. And I feel like I just can't help but move my body. So even when there were two or three people there, Emily and Aslan, her sister, I was still trying to break a leg.

[Bobby Bones]

I like to move my body, too.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah, I like to move my body.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a big body mover. Lanny Wilson, everybody. Lanny, congratulations. Happy holidays. Merry Christmas.

[Laney Wilson]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

All the things you say to people you like. I hope it's awesome, and we'll see you next year. All right, there she is. Laney Wilson, everybody. Let's go over to Hannah, who is listening in Illinois. Hey, Hannah.

[Laney Wilson]

Cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Bobby. What's going on?

[Laney Wilson]

Not much.

[Bobby Bones]

How are you guys today? We're pretty good. What can I do for you?

[Laney Wilson]

I was calling because I know you talked about it either last week on the podcast. I work for ups and I work third shift, so I listen to podcasts all the time. But I know your favorite side is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okra for Thanksgiving, so I was wondering.

[Laney Wilson]

What everybody else's favorite Thanksgiving side is.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

First of all, I like to say fried okra.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Be clear.

[Bobby Bones]

Not pick straight off that out of the garden. I like fried, and I don't know that it's my number, number one favorite that I have to have. I love it.

[Eddie]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

But if I'm just going to have turkey, I can't just have fried okra with it. I was talking about this yesterday. It's on. It's on my Instagram. I have been. I've been gaslit for a long time about Thanksgiving.

[Laney Wilson]

From who?

[Bobby Bones]

The world.

[Amy]

Only you.

[Bobby Bones]

All of us.

[Lunchbox]

What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Turkey is not that good. I love turkey when there are other great things with it, but by itself, turkey just isn't that good.

[Eddie]

You need to try my turkey.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear everybody says that, like, oh, wait till you try. But I'm saying, generally speaking, like, of the meats, turkey's probably low.

[Eddie]

A steak would be the best.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I'm saying, then why not have a better. Like, ham tastes better.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Ham is better.

[Bobby Bones]

Beans tastes better. Turkey now is that holiday, and if it's not there, it doesn't feel right. But turkey and I Was listening to a podcast, and they were just. They were just ripping on turkey. And I was like, you guys are so wrong. And the more they talked, I was like, I kind of feel the same way. I love turkey with the right things around it.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I'm not a turkey defender. I always have to dip it in ketchup.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Weird. I'm not going to judge you, but that's weird.

[Amy]

Yeah. I'm probably the only person with ketchup at the Thanksgiving table, But now there.

[Bobby Bones]

Are other things you can put ketchup on. But turkey feels weird. I'm like, it's not illegal, so weird's fine with me.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

But okra is not my favorite favorite side. If I'm gonna have turkey, obviously the number one side is dressing. But does that count as a side or is that just part of the main.

[Lunchbox]

That's a side.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're good.

[Amy]

Totally a side.

[Bobby Bones]

So that has to be number one.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

And then from there, it has to be mashed potatoes as, like, the cores. I'm not gonna enjoy the mashed potatoes as much as I'm gonna do the fried okra. But it. That has to, like, fill out the plate before I can do anything else. And cranberry sauce, then I'm good. Then I can add, like, the third. Okra is my number one. Third leveler. Corn, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, turkey. Like, that has to exist there before I can even allow the others to come into play.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm with you on stuffing or dressing. Like, that's solid.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you call it?

[Eddie]

What you call it?

[Amy]

We've got. We call it both, but I'll call it dressing because that's predominantly like what my parents would say dressing. And then Mac and cheese and sweet potato casserole.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Mac and cheese is interesting. Yeah, that's a good one. Think about it, because I don't really eat any dairy at all anymore. I can't. But I do like most Mac and cheeses. Sweet potato casserole is interesting because what about. I just like sweet potatoes or yams. Isn't that a sweet potato?

[Amy]

Or. Some people call it sweet potato casserole. Some people call it candied yams. I guess if I think of what my family really calls it, it's candied yams. So you're talking like, you know, the diced up yams or sweet potatoes.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's all the same with, like.

[Amy]

Sugar glaze and some marshmallows on top that are Burnt.

[Bobby Bones]

Love the marshmallows. It feels like dessert. It feels like. It feels like I'm naughty having dessert during the meal.

[Amy]

You mix it in with some of your salty things on your plate and it's just so good.

[Bobby Bones]

I like nuts on it, too.

[Amy]

Oh, no, nuts.

[Bobby Bones]

I like when they do like the little sprinkles and nuts. Do you want to. No.

[Eddie]

Yes. I've had that, like, pecan.

[Amy]

I understand y' all have had it, but it shouldn't. That shouldn't be.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's good, though.

[Bobby Bones]

And be like, you got to put ketchup on it and we didn't hate on you. Yeah, nobody's hating on you. I'm just saying I. When I.

[Amy]

Don'T want any nuts on mine.

[Eddie]

You see how you got grace with ketchup?

[Amy]

Maybe you could sprinkle your own nuts on. Make it with the nuts then.

[Bobby Bones]

I do like the marshmallows on it, though.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels naughty.

[Eddie]

Is the roll, like. Is the roll aside?

[Bobby Bones]

Because I believe so. Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's the favorite part. Part of the meal.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

The really.

[Eddie]

The warm buttered rolls.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think in this situation, a roll. And most times this is not the case. Roll greater than biscuit at Thanksgiving.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

You don't do a biscuit and probably.

[Amy]

You, like, use the roll to, like, eat.

[Eddie]

Grab some turkey or that gravy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I never put turkey in it. But the gravy for sure.

[Eddie]

The gravy with the green bean casserole.

[Lunchbox]

Like. Ah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's also the broom at the end.

[Eddie]

Yes, it is the broom.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the broom at the end where you sweep everything into a pile and you can use it so good.

[Eddie]

At some point I make like a sandwich out of it. Turkey sandwich out of my roll.

[Bobby Bones]

Roll's that important.

[Eddie]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't think about it, but rolls are very important. We tried to find rolls that didn't have butter or were made of butter. Impossible. So stupid. I started following. I'm such a loser. I started following somebody that just talks about food with non dairy in Nashville and she travels around and just doesn't.

[Eddie]

That's not a loser.

[Bobby Bones]

It's dairy free.

[Eddie]

It's just the life you have to live.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but even I get annoyed talking about it, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So did you find dairy free rolls?

[Bobby Bones]

She hasn't posted in a while. Oh, no. I feel it's possible. You can do sourdough.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But not the same.

[Eddie]

That's not the same.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd rather have nothing than have a fraction of it. And I feel like sourdough is not real. It's just a fraction of what the bread would be. It's not even.

[Eddie]

Are you prepared for all the butterfly.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, no, I won't eat it.

[Amy]

So that's why he's having fried okra.

[Bobby Bones]

Fried okra. And then we're taking. I have to take a couple dishes that I'll just eat when I get there. Which kind of sucks because I like to get there and eat other people's dishes. But I have to take a couple dishes with us to Oklahoma that I can eat during Thanksgiving.

[Amy]

Have you tried just for this one day, doing the lactaid?

[Bobby Bones]

I would do that. And I've done lactate and I've tried it. I've been practicing with it. It's like it's a tuba. I go in my room and I practice.

[Eddie]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. But it doesn't fully work. It's mostly effective. And I don't want to be at somebody's house staying and I have bad stomach issues. If I was at my house. Stick of butter.

[Eddie]

But you're at your in laws, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but they have two bathrooms.

[Eddie]

You don't feel comfortable.

[Bobby Bones]

There's like eight people there. It's just. I can't. If I have to go to the bathroom sometimes I don't even have to go. My stomach just hurts so bad and I don't have to go. But I'm in there for like 45 minutes or an hour. So I can't dominate a bathroom. I just. It also hurts my stomach.

[Eddie]

No, I get that. That would be prior. That would be the reason. Reason number one. It hurts your stomach. Yeah, the bathroom, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

But there's only two in the whole family. But there's eight people and kids everywhere.

[Eddie]

It's okay. Hey, Uncle Bobby's in the that one. So stay away from that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like that to be reputation around the holidays.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

He's just gone and sits in the bathroom.

[Eddie]

He's in there. Leave him alone.

[Bobby Bones]

Favorite side lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's rolls. I. I love rolls. Like they are the best thing. I mean I eat them and you don't have to dip them. Just eating them is have like five of them. Then you're like, man, should I have eaten five rolls? Give me a sixth.

[Amy]

I didn't know what rolls y' all get.

[Bobby Bones]

I like the Hawaiian. I forget what they're called.

[Eddie]

Hawaiian rolls are good.

[Bobby Bones]

Kings Hawaiian. What is it?

[Lunchbox]

Kings of Hawaiian.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like Kings Hawaiian is really pretty good. A plus.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I just get the Raw ones that you put in the oven for and bake on.

[Lunchbox]

Fifteen minutes.

[Eddie]

Fifteen minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man.

[Eddie]

So good.

[Bobby Bones]

Hannah, we went really in depth here on. On your question.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you did. I loved.

[Laney Wilson]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was talking along with you guys.

[Amy]

I'm a green bean casserole type.

[Laney Wilson]

My wife makes it with cream of.

[Bobby Bones]

Onion instead of cream of mushroom.

[Laney Wilson]

So, like, I mean, I guess there's not much of a flavor difference, but still. I do like my wife's version.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like that onions. I don't like mushrooms. So both versions of that cream feels disgusting to me. Do I even. Would I even taste it?

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I'd say no, too, because I hate onions.

[Amy]

Green bean casserole is legit.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't mind an onion ring, though.

[Amy]

They're fried on top.

[Eddie]

They're fried onions.

[Amy]

And who knows, in some can that lives forever, So I don't really know that they're even real onions, to be honest.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Hannah, I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving point.

[Laney Wilson]

What? Like, hey, thanks, you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Do appreciate it.

[Eddie]

Thank you for the call.

[Laney Wilson]

I'm a podcast listener.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, thanks.

[Laney Wilson]

Have a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, bye. Bye. Lunchbox. What happened with Morgan?

[Lunchbox]

Well, she was stuck in the stairwell. Sometimes you come into work in the stairwell. Like, the little zapper won't work. So you're stuck in there. And so she needed someone to let her out, to let her in.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a digital key.

[Amy]

Yeah, a key fob.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And so she's yelling for help.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you just hear her?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't call anybody, Morgan, you started screaming, help.

[Laney Wilson]

That's not true.

[Amy]

I texted the group chat, and I.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that where somebody let me in? I saw it. Okay, so he didn't even hear a yell. It was a group. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't remember, really, to be honest with you. And I went over there, and I'm like, oh, you know what you want in here? So I started making her say great things about me. And let me tell you, Morgan has no sense of humor. She is so mad and angry about this, so I'm not gonna let her in until she responds the right way.

[Bobby Bones]

He recorded it. Here we go.

[Lunchbox]

Hello. Say, lunchbox is the greatest.

[Eddie]

What?

[Lunchbox]

All right, see you later. I didn't hear you. Wait, a little louder. No, say it like you mean it. No, I said, you know what you gotta say. Yeah. There you go. Welcome to work.

[Eddie]

This guy.

[Lunchbox]

And she was all mad and annoyed, and I'm like, morgan, I didn't hear.

[Bobby Bones]

Her being mad or annoyed. Her laughing at you.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she did say she was cold in there.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, she wasn't yelling help.

[Lunchbox]

She's like so annoying. That's so dumb. I'm like, morgan, you need to learn what is funny. Like that's funny, right? Am I, am I crazy? That's funny.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean it's fine.

[Eddie]

It's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's fine.

[Lunchbox]

She needs a new sense of humor if she doesn't think that's funny, but.

[Eddie]

She'S stuck in a stairwell so she just wants out of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like do it once. Haha. Let her out louder. It's like someone who gets on stage or in the middle of like concert. I can't hear you. The warm up person. Get louder. Like, dude, I got no more in me. You want us to get louder? What do you, what do you want? Like we already woo once. So Amy, is that funny?

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean I thought it was funny and she was laughing. Yeah, she was cold.

[Bobby Bones]

She's just like, come on, it is winter time here. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S Bobby Bones here. You ever tried to plan a trip for a large group? Everybody has their own idea of what the vacation should look like.

[Amy]

Hear that? That's what it sounds like when you plant more trees than you harvest. Work done by thousands of working forest professionals like Adam, a district forest manager who works to protect our forests from fires.

[Bobby Bones]

Keeping the forest fire resistant. Synonymous with keeping the forest healthy. And we do that through planting more than we harvest and mitigate those risks through active management.

[Lunchbox]

It's a long term commitment.

[Bobby Bones]

Yesterday I got a text going, hey, Tracy Lawrence needs turkeys because there was a like a refrigerator truck. All these turkeys went bad in it and he does a big turkey charity thing. And so I was talking with Morgan number one and we had, we got my SUV her and then we had kick off Kevin's truck ready to go and we were going to finish podcast because I had my NFL show yesterday and we're going to go because they said we need thousand turkeys so we're just going to go and buy them all. Then I started thinking if we go to a grocery store and buy all the turkeys, is that mean because people come and look for turkeys or no other turkeys, even if you buy it for charity?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I mean, I mean like if.

[Bobby Bones]

We walk in, I would be upset. If we walk in and buy all the turkeys and we're just walking out, I'm with all of them. Rude.

[Eddie]

I'd be like, what kind of jerk bought all the turkeys?

[Bobby Bones]

Right. I didn't want to be that jerk.

[Amy]

Yeah, Maybe if you spread it out just to not make it inconvenient. But they're turkeys for somebody, so it's.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying. You can't spread it out because we were all going to walk in there together and fill up all the carts and then go and dump them all and just take them over there. Would that have been.

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it'd been rude. I think it had been inconvenient because they would have gone there. But you're also giving them to someone so they're not like, you're just buying them to throw them out in the middle of the road and waste them.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that'd be a jerk thing to do.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, we plan to do it, and then in the middle of podcast, we got a text going. We're good, everybody. Already. The community already came together and donated, like, thousand turkeys, man.

[Lunchbox]

I was planning on doing it, too. Then you say, I was planning on doing that.

[Bobby Bones]

I actually have text messages of us organizing it.

[Lunchbox]

I was planning on that.

[Amy]

What about you, Eddie?

[Eddie]

No, I never got the text.

[Lunchbox]

No? No. I was just on the phone with people saying, hey, should we go get some turkeys? And then I found out they were full, so.

[Amy]

Oh, yours was verbal.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I had the moral question of, can we go buy all the turkeys? And then.

[Eddie]

It's a fair question, though.

[Amy]

Yeah. I think that's.

[Bobby Bones]

And not be jerks, because that would suck to go. And this is. I'll show you this.

[Eddie]

But there's no.

[Amy]

We believe you.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, because he's doing this thing where he's like, oh, he's going to do it.

[Amy]

No, but he wasn't.

[Lunchbox]

I was on the phone.

[Bobby Bones]

So Morgan said, tracy's man, show us the call. You have a call log on your phone?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got a call.

[Bobby Bones]

Tracy' manager sent me a text this morning. Tracy needs your help. And then I asked Morgan, hey, do you have my credit card? Can you make the first run? I can't get out. I have the NFL podcast. I can go after two, and we'll load my car and we'll get kicked off Kevin's truck. And so anyway, I have it. If we wanted to, like, I just wondered if it would be wrong of me to take all the turkeys was my question. Not that I needed to prove anything.

[Eddie]

You know, I think that the grocery store probably has a ton, right, like in the back, not just what they have out for everyone to see. I would think it's Thanksgiving time community came together.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody needed it. WKRN with that story.

[Eddie]

Here's what's crazy though. Like when you go to the grocery store and buy a frozen turkey today, it is dirt cheap because it's frozen and so it's gonna take forever to thaw out. So they drop the prices. So at this point, if you're gonna buy a turkey today, it's gotta be thawed out and the prices are pretty high. So it's pretty expensive.

[Amy]

Like to buy even yesterday ways to thaw it out rapidly.

[Eddie]

It's just not safe like there is. But like you risk a little bit of.

[Bobby Bones]

You can buy a flamethrower on TikTok.

[Eddie]

Have you seen?

[Bobby Bones]

I saw it do.

[Eddie]

I saw.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought about it and I don't need a flamethrower for any reason whatsoever. The only thing I could do with a flamethrower would be stupid. And I almost bought it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, see, there's a thing I use to like smoke little wood pellets and I could use a flamethrower.

[Bobby Bones]

So I did think about it for a second. Now you have a reason I would get a flamethrower. It looks awesome. Awesome. There is a Virginia high school football coach who this is as of last night, who went missing. This update was last night, so they don't have him yet. Okay, so the whole story. And he's like a winning football coach.

[Lunchbox]

They're undefeated.

[Bobby Bones]

Virginia high school football coach who went missing last week is now wanted for possession of child sexual abuse material.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

And using a computer to solicit a minor authority said yesterday.

[Eddie]

Well, that's why he's missing.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. No crap.

[Lunchbox]

Well, no, no. But when it first came out, when the first.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he was just missing, it was.

[Lunchbox]

Like, oh my gosh, the community. We gotta find this guy, this coach, undefeated season, he's gone missing. And everybody's like, oh my God, we gotta find him.

[Bobby Bones]

And I did search parties.

[Eddie]

I saw the last he was seen is like wearing sweatpants walking in the woods.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I'm like, well, we know where you went.

[Bobby Bones]

46 year old Travis Turner of Appalachia, Virginia has been missing since Nov. 20, is now considered a fugitive. Police obtained 10 warrants for Turner on Monday, including five counts of possession of child pornography, five counts of using A computer to solicit a minor. He's a physical education teacher and head football coach. They are 12 and. Oh. The Wise County School District said Tuesday it's aware of the charges against Turner, who has been on administrative leave since the incident began. Well, not just that he's been on human leave. He's been gone. Then he went and killed himself.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's my guess. It's like he went into the woods and you're. We're going to. They're going to find his corpse here in a few days.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw a guy.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, why else joke about how.

[Bobby Bones]

We overvalue our football coaches? And it was total satire. And he was like, I don't care what kind of picture he's got. He's 12 0. We need him on the sidelines. And it was actually like, quite intelligent in the way of that's how we value our coaches. And it was way over the top. But he was like, this is how messed up we are. We'll let extremely flawed people and we celebrate them because they're good at football. And again, that's not what's happening.

[Eddie]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was a pretty. A pretty under understood, neededly understood message that we celebrate a lot of these guys who can just coach a football game even though they're awful, awful, awful people. But that's not this case here specifically. I don't even know if he did it.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I don't know if he did it, but his actions lead me to believe he did it.

[Amy]

Well, and they say they found stuff on his computer.

[Lunchbox]

Like, they were going.

[Bobby Bones]

The police were like, tucker Carlson, though, talk about how if you have a laptop, he's like. He's like, I don't even own a laptop. And I'm not saying this happened because they can put stuff on your computer if they want to frame you for anything.

[Laney Wilson]

Who?

[Bobby Bones]

You know his dad was CIA. Tucker Carlson.

[Amy]

Yeah. Sorry, who? Who? I mean, who would do that to this guy?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, I'm not saying it's done specifically. I'm just saying that what Tucker Carlson was saying was, I don't own a laptop because anybody that wants anything on you, it has the power and the capability. They can put anything on your computer. And the next thing you know, they lead you to your computer and like, oh, we got this up. Time to go to jail. He said, they do that all the time, man.

[Amy]

I was listening to a podcast yesterday where this guy died. He got shot. And when they're investigating and trying to figure out who shot him, some Woman came forward with some bogus story about how she met him online, but then she was disgusted because he was asking for like child pictures or something. Well, turns out all of the her claims were completely false. She wasn't a credible witness. Like nothing. But still, you've got this dead person and that story's now out there of heart of the investigation. So some people will never get that out of their mind.

[Bobby Bones]

That'll be the first thing ever Google search to. It's probably gonna pop up.

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Some people will forever be like, oh, man, he had. He was requesting pictures of children.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So this story here, Tucker Carlson has publicly stated he does not own a computer or laptop because of his concerns that the CIA or other government agencies might hack or plant illicit material on his devices to discredit him into how it can be done.

[Laney Wilson]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

And so again, when this story comes out, it's easy to go. Yeah, he ran, probably did it. But then again, I just, I never want to go. Yep. I don't know, maybe it's the older version of me. And I've seen too many people be pinned for things they haven't done that. It's like, I kind of want to give everybody the benefit of the doubt until it's proven a little something called, well, innocent until proven guilty. Oh, yes, I've heard of that.

[Amy]

I feel like to start investigating him anyways though. And looking into a teacher's computer, they had to have small town reports. I agree from probably students, but I.

[Bobby Bones]

Just, I'm just not rushing anymore to be like, yep, get child porn probably, but not for sure.

[Lunchbox]

Well, not for sure.

[Amy]

And Tucker is also in a place of privilege where he can have enough people around him that can have computer. Like how some people can't operate without a computer.

[Bobby Bones]

My point wasn't that it was only that, oh, I know, it's able to be done.

[Amy]

Tucker is like able to protect himself in that way. But he is high profile to where. Yeah, I could see someone wanting to.

[Bobby Bones]

Or they could do it to anybody. They could do it to anybody. It's not high profile. They wanted somebody out of a position.

[Amy]

You could do it. Yeah, you could do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You could hire somebody to do it. It doesn't have to be CIA. You could hire somebody to do it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but how would they get my computer?

[Amy]

They would hack it.

[Bobby Bones]

They hack it.

[Eddie]

Hackers.

[Amy]

They're not gonna come, like physically, they're not gonna bother it, but they're gonna enter it.

[Eddie]

You know, when you're connected to the.

[Bobby Bones]

Internet, that's what I just said CIA or other agencies or hackers would hack in and plant illicit material in your computer.

[Lunchbox]

But that means I'd have to click on a link right before they can get in my computer. Or they can just right now get on my computer.

[Bobby Bones]

They could probably right now just get on a computer. Yeah. How good they are. They don't have to Trojan horse their way in. That is how some people give access. I had a friend who was a private investigator and he Trojan horse the crap out of people.

[Eddie]

I've only heard a Trojan horse. Don't know what. Really.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what that means.

[Amy]

War.

[Bobby Bones]

They sent the Trojan horse, the big, big Trojan horse in here. You go, have this, have this Trojan horse. But inside was actually people. But they allowed the horse in. The people come out, kill them all.

[Eddie]

And so that's like the virus.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You allow it in your computer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Cool.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man. It was just a weird story because when you first read it, I was like, wow, dude, how did he go missing in the middle of an undefeated season? Then it comes out. The police were on their way to his house to talk to him when he headed for the woods. And they were like, oh, he's not home. Okay, we'll turn around. And now it comes out, his wife posted like, we just need him home. And then the charges come out. She took down her post.

[Bobby Bones]

She did?

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

I know she was defending it for a bit. I don't know. If she continued to defend it, I would too. Meaning, like he. She didn't know.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That version of that person.

[Amy]

Yeah. If you think your partner is innocent.

[Bobby Bones]

Imagine you do get framed for that. That's the worst thing you could get framed for. Yeah, it's the worst. I guess the real worst would be actually with doing it with kids, like messing with kids. But second would be that right there.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy]

Well, I'm thinking, yes, you're right in that order. But it's tricky because if, like you didn't do it, it's the worst.

[Eddie]

The idea of just being framed is.

[Amy]

Yes, the worst.

[Bobby Bones]

And how many people are. Are in our prison system now that actually didn't do it a lot.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think because of even like we talked about the Karen Reed stuff. It didn't have to be getting framed be corruption or even political motivation. We got to make this person guilty. So I can be the mayor of town. I'm freaking attorney, but I want to be mayor. I need this high profile win.

[Eddie]

It's like when Lunchbox thought that I did PPS on his computer. I had nothing to do with it. But just because he thought I did.

[Bobby Bones]

That like six levels. That's justice system.

[Eddie]

In some cases it was not a good feeling. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Eddie]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's how the justice system responds.

[Eddie]

Exactly. And that's how they respond. And now everyone sees me as someone.

[Bobby Bones]

Who'S going to put PBS on computer.

[Eddie]

Even though I didn't do it yesterday.

[Bobby Bones]

Walking and they were like, there's PPI computer guy.

[Eddie]

And I said I didn't do it. I was cleared of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And didn't matter though.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Because the headline when you google you.

[Eddie]

Is you understand what we're saying, right? Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

No, I get it. No, I understand. There are people that are innocent that have been proven guilty and there's people that are guilty that have been proven innocent. I get it. It happens. I'm just saying like OJ when he gets in the Bronco and starts running from the police, I'm kind of like, ah, you know what I mean? I'm pretty sure you did it then. If you're doing that like that seems.

[Bobby Bones]

If you don't feel like you're gonna get a fair trial, I probably run. Although he probably did it. But he did not lose though. He did not lose his case. Michael Jackson was never proven guilty of touching kids. He settled a civil case. And we think of Michael Jackson generally. Our world does is somebody who touched.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, what you got over there?

[Amy]

So cigarettes are having a resurgence.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate that I see people like cool people. I hate it that they smoke so much now it's starting to be cool again.

[Amy]

Well, where it's showing up is, let's see, like movies, TV shows. About half of all movies it says here that made their debut last year included appearances of cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products which is up 10% from the previous year. And they're seeing like a rise in people smoking now after a years long decline, youth especially. So now people are freaking out that smoking rates are going to reverse because they already are and just could get worse.

[Eddie]

When they smoke in movies, are they like doing like a back in the day scene?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

No one smoking?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

And then there's like Lorde and Addison Rae and Sabrina Carpenter. They were recently photographed wearing a corset made out of Marlboro packages. So it's also just cigarette related stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

Or it has, it's happened so many times that I've seen it even without the story and be like, oh, they're starting. They're trying to make smoking Cool again.

[Eddie]

I thought that was done.

[Bobby Bones]

Oz really settled in on vaping.

[Eddie]

Dude. That vaping's bad, dude.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. So many kids vape. It's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

But what's also crazy is that hot take unpopular opinion, but probably factually accurate. Smoking is probably just as bad as all the processed food we're eating.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, some people link it to that or fried. Like I heard a doctor once say that he would smoke, take a drag out of a cigarette before he'd eat like something fried. And I'm like, a lot for the fried.

[Eddie]

One drag, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't. Okay, but that's. You're not just eating one bite of something processed.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

We're stopping a gas.

[Eddie]

I just think about that because it does sound crazy to think that cigarettes could be as well.

[Amy]

It's almost just like what we've normalized. And not because alcohol is also under a category of being carcinogenic, but it's so readily like so available, so accepted. It's one of those things that we've just written off as like, oh, with alcohol's okay, we're giving it a pass.

[Bobby Bones]

Because the government chose. They chose to make marijuana illegal. It was like, well, which one do we do? What, what political reasons? My. I've not had either. And I think marijuana is so much better, if you're gonna pick, than drinking, like so much better. But we chose for different reasons to let alcohol be the thing that's accepted. And I do think all the bad food is just as bad as smoking.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah. So roughly one in three cancer deaths in the US are linked to cigarette smoking, according to the cdc.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder what my assistant would say about that.

[Eddie]

Cigarettes and processed food.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Hey there. My Internet's bad. That was kind of weird.

[Amy]

She just woke up.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like she was smoking when I hit her up. Hey there. How's it going?

[Eddie]

Hey.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good. We're talking about cigarettes and how bad they are for you. And I made the parallel of eating a lot of processed food and that because I don't like cigarettes, I've never smoked. I hate that people are smoking. And there's been a trend of young people smoking on social media and in movies.

[Lunchbox]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

And I said, well, hot take. I think eating a whole bunch of processed food is probably very similar to smoking. Could you add to that in one way or another? Absolutely. I think that's a really interesting comparison to draw. I mean, both smoking and eating a ton of ultra processed foods can have these long term negative health effects that Kind of sneak up on you, you know, like smoking might lead to lung issues, heart issues over time, while a heavily processed diet can lead to things like obesity, heart disease, diabetes. So it's a fair point that in a way both are kind of these slow burn health risks that people might overlook.

[Amy]

Colon cancer.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And the things that we don't even know processed food's doing to us because it's affecting parts of our bodies that have nothing to do with eating. So we just don't assume it's coming from all the bad food we're eating.

[Amy]

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll still eat it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, me too. Even though.

[Amy]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

But I know smart people who smoke. And I'm like, what are you thinking? I'm like, I know everybody has their thing. And I'm like, I. Yeah, I do too. I have my things. We all have our things.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Good story, Eddie.

[Eddie]

There's a lady in Ohio, for the last 12 years, she's been rescuing deer. She loves deer. She sees an injured deer, she brings them in, helps raise them. Well, she just got killed by one of her deer.

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

How?

[Eddie]

One of her deer, just like they got. They were enclosed in one area together and it was a male deer. And male deers, when they get their horns, they just kind of become the animal they're supposed to be. And then they just.

[Amy]

A horn went into her, which is.

[Eddie]

Crazy cuz like they do say like, you know, she died, she died doing what she loved. I guess that kind of falls in this category, you know?

[Laney Wilson]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Getting gored by a deer is what she loved. Right?

[Eddie]

But she did care for deer.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be like working at a school and being murdered by one of the kids there. Well, you know what, he's a teacher. He loved doing what he loved. I don't know that that actually fits in that.

[Eddie]

Right. I saw more like the crocodile hun, you know, getting killed by stingray.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

[Eddie]

That's what he loved doing.

[Amy]

Yeah, but that's still terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'm like, I'm trying to figure out when I'm convinced.

[Eddie]

Little closer.

[Amy]

When does the saying really make sense?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, let's say I were singing a really high note, hard as I could. I was a great singer.

[Eddie]

Doing what you love.

[Bobby Bones]

Had an aneurysm, boom, down.

[Amy]

And you were 89.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I could be anytime.

[Amy]

That's better.

[Eddie]

Anytime. And you go, Bobby, man, he loved to sing.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't stop singing like you're gonna.

[Amy]

Have the aneury anyways, no matter what. But you might as well do it while you're singing.

[Eddie]

It's probably singing the dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I was going real hard. I was really trying to hit that note, and I was holding it in the crowd. They're freaking going, oh, it's crazy. So I'm just pushing it. Then I'm like, oh, okay. I'm being accepted and loved. And boom, bop. Well, dang.

[Eddie]

Bobby died doing what he loved, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Died doing what he loved. He's really. I think that that works.

[Eddie]

I think it does, too. And what's crazy, too, like, reading the story. Like, I had a deer growing up that used to sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't almost die?

[Eddie]

Stop. No, no, no.

[Amy]

But we had a deer slept with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Laney Wilson]

Why? What?

[Eddie]

No, it's true. He would sleep in my bed, and, like, he had. I wake up, there'd be a hoof on my face. Like, it was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

It was so cool.

[Amy]

Why have we never heard this story before?

[Bobby Bones]

We have been doing this show for a long time.

[Eddie]

You've heard this story before.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, let's go to our. Basically, our librarian or historian, Mike D. Have you ever heard this story? He has told a story before, and we'. We reacted the same way we did every time. We never heard the story. At least we're consistent with our reactions.

[Amy]

That's cute, though. So is male or female?

[Eddie]

Male. But then that's what I'm saying. When he got older, we couldn't even get close to him anymore. We had to just like, all right, you're.

[Amy]

How did he get in your bed?

[Eddie]

What do you mean? He was a baby. He was a fawn.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

He was a little fawn. He had little dots on him, and he'd just sleep in my bed.

[Lunchbox]

That's like the friend I had, the husband and wife. They had a deer that would come in their house, and it was a male. He'd sleep on the bed. And they. I mean, just reh. It was a hurt deer. And we had them on the show. We had them on the show.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We had people, too, that had deer that would come in the house, but they wouldn't sleep in the bed.

[Amy]

Tell me how to get them in my house. Because they come. They're my yard all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

You could do corn and do the trail. I mean, if you really. But you don't know what's going to come in, then.

[Eddie]

Yes. And then you're the new story.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

Well, no, I mean, obviously, I'm going to limit it to females.

[Bobby Bones]

You would probably have to find it or get a baby deer. Keep it in a pin.

[Amy]

I have baby deer. They sleep in my yard.

[Bobby Bones]

Keep it in a pen and. And domestic. You can't really domesticate a deer.

[Eddie]

Well, the deer.

[Bobby Bones]

The deer we found got hit somewhat.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the mom got hit by a car, and the little fawn was running around.

[Amy]

I don't want to, like, take it away from its family or its natural habitat. But, like, if it wanted to come in and, like, hang by the fire for a minute, especially in the winter, that'd be cool.

[Eddie]

Hang by the fire?

[Amy]

Yeah, like, the fire. Like, I build a fire and they come warm up.

[Eddie]

She wants to be Snow White.

[Bobby Bones]

What's wrong with you? She's like, how do I make this exact scenario where deer have human characteristics and enjoy a fire and watching a Netflix movie.

[Amy]

At night with him to sleep? So why wouldn't one curl up by the fire?

[Bobby Bones]

Because you didn't have the deer from baby.

[Eddie]

This was a baby?

[Amy]

Yeah. Babies come to my yard with their.

[Bobby Bones]

Parents, with their moms, and then you don't spend time raising them.

[Amy]

Okay, so what I need to do is find a little.

[Bobby Bones]

What you need to do is move off this. Not worry about having a deer in your house. That would be.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, you should try whatever.

[Amy]

I'm gonna make it happen.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, Miami's gonna be the story.

[Eddie]

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

[Bobby Bones]

Then dad's gonna come hunting for the baby. Gonna walk in on Amy and the baby?

[Amy]

No, Obviously, I need it to be.

[Bobby Bones]

She died doing what she was loved.

[Amy]

Bonus.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Are you ready for the Winter Olympics? Who's ready?

[Bobby Bones]

We kind of suck at Winter Olympics. Not my favorite. America kind of sucks. We don't have as much winter as.

[Eddie]

Like, Switzerland or when I go to snowboarding, that. We're pretty.

[Bobby Bones]

We have things. We have things we're good at, but we never win them. The whole metal count.

[Eddie]

Dude, Nancy Kerrigan. She was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

She didn't win the goal.

[Eddie]

She never did. I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Christian. Yeah, that's her name.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Well, they lit the flame yesterday. The torch started in Greece, and it is making its way to Italy. They lit it yesterday, and now the journey is on its way. And it'll be. The cauldron will be lit in February for the Winter Olympics.

[Eddie]

I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Where is that again? Germany.

[Lunchbox]

It's going to be in Italy, but they start it in Greece, and they have to make the path all the way.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you Say the word Germany at all.

[Lunchbox]

No, journey.

[Bobby Bones]

I said journey is making the journey.

[Laney Wilson]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's it.

[Lunchbox]

I think that's pretty cool that they take it the whole way.

[Eddie]

They do that every. Every Olympics.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen it run by.

[Eddie]

What, like you're just driving?

[Lunchbox]

It went to national grocery store.

[Bobby Bones]

I was in France and we saw it come by. That's run by. I was at work. Yeah. Was the Summer Olympics like two years ago or something?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's about right.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's every and the summer. Where was the Summer Olympics?

[Lunchbox]

I was in Paris.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I saw the freaking thing run by. It was a big deal. The cops, like, blocked the street and everything. Yeah, yeah. Hell, I don't know, dude.

[Eddie]

How do they keep that torch on?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Like, is this a great question?

[Lunchbox]

Does it, like, it ever go out?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they're like propane tank, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Before it has gone out. But I think they also keep multiple flames going. So if one goes out, the Olympic.

[Eddie]

Spirit isn't dead like a. Like a candle?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, multiple. So if one goes out, it's not like the Olympic spirits did the U.S. let's see. How do we do in the last Winter Games?

[Eddie]

I think we do pretty good, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Norway was first. If we're getting beat by Norway at something, it ain't for us.

[Eddie]

It's always cold over there, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And they're small. We did. We did finish. Looks like second, but second's eighth. When it comes to Olympics, Norway topped the medal table. 37 total, 16 golds. Followed by Germany with 27 medals, and then the United States, 25. Yeah, it ain't for us. We don't have enough winter. We don't have enough land. That's cold all the time.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, they live in cold.

[Lunchbox]

But, I mean, some of those competitions are really cool. Like when they're on skis and they're going. And then they have the guns, they have to stop and shoot things.

[Eddie]

You like those? You like the process?

[Lunchbox]

It's like I have no idea what they're doing. Like, what is the purpose of that? But I do enjoy it.

[Eddie]

The curling is awesome.

[Laney Wilson]

No I've ever gone to the curling place.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a minute and a half.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that's what I. The curling is fun for about a minute and a half, and then you're bored with it. It was cool like when we first exploded, like, 10, 15 years ago, and we're like, oh, my gosh, this is so crazy now. It's just like, okay, it's kind of annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you saying.

[Amy]

Have you all ever done the curling here?

[Lunchbox]

I've been to the place to drink some beers, but never done the curling.

[Amy]

Yeah, you know, when people post about it, it looks. I've never gone. I went curling and it was hard.

[Bobby Bones]

Seems cold.

[Lunchbox]

It's so hard.

[Eddie]

It's nice, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I hate cold. I. I hate cold so much.

[Eddie]

Does Scott Hamilton still do the announcing for that?

[Bobby Bones]

For curling?

[Eddie]

No, for figure skating.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. How? I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

Great, great question.

[Bobby Bones]

How to know that?

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Lunchbox]

What a random question.

[Eddie]

Well, we just. We just talked to him like two weeks ago.

[Lunchbox]

I know, but I. I don't know who that, you know, who the announcers are.

[Amy]

I mean, he still has done things in the past. I know. For the Olympics.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not going to hate on you for the question, but he was the.

[Eddie]

Voice of like, like figure skating forever.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't realize.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Scott Hamilton still announces in a scheduled to broadcast of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

[Eddie]

Awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, not a dumb question. I just had no idea you're asking the person who is dumb.

[Eddie]
