We're hoping that Eddie finishes his walk from West Virginia to Tennessee. Physically, he's hurting. Mentally, he's exhausted, but today could be the day. We hope today is the day. We're rooting that today Eddie finishes his long journey.

I do want to go over and talk to Chris in Georgia. Chris, what's going on, man? Hey, Bobby. What's happening, dude? Hey, much to it, man. So my girlfriend recorded your show Breaking Bobby Bones and I had a chance to watch it last night. Awesome show.

Did you think you wouldn't? I feel like you were a bit reluctant by your tone. I was. I really was. After watching it, after watching the things that you're doing for the American public, really touched me. Which episodes did you see, Chris? The one where you were on the barges

and the one with the lady truck driver. So you watched this one. like the towboat and then the truck driver. Yeah, those were two, like, really touching people that, like, people that have really, really fantastic stories of, you know, struggle and fighting through it. And I appreciate that call. Chris, I'm glad you liked it. Thank you, brother. And I appreciate you admitting you were reluctant and still liked it because that's hard to do.

There you go. And then tell your, is it girlfriend? I think so, yeah. Tell your girlfriend. I said hello and thank you. We'll do. All right, buddy. See you later.

Thank you. All right, you're welcome. All right, we're going to check in with Eddie in a few minutes. He is starting his walk really early this morning. But before we get to him live, let's throw over and hear his journal from yesterday. Hey, it's producer Eddie, and day three is wrapped up. Man, 22 miles. It's 5.30 right now.

So I'm going to get some rest. But that leaves me with a total of 10 miles tomorrow to the state line. And I'm trying to finish that in the morning so I can be on the air with you guys. Also, too, you want some of my highs and lows. of the day. My high was that, yeah, we got on top of a mountain. That was literally my high and the low is that we had to cross a mountain range and that stunk. So there you go. That's my high and low. Let's go over and open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah.

Hello, Bobby Bones. So I have a bit of a predicament. I got hired onto a salary position at my new job three weeks ago. I was looking over my pay to date and noticed something interesting. My next paycheck is definitely wrong. I was paid double. They paid me twice the rate, but I did not catch it. Should I reach out and stop them from paying me way too much? The company definitely wouldn't suffer from a mistake like this. It's very financially stable. I haven't gotten the money yet. Should I hedge my bets and wait until after getting paid to say there's been a mistake, or should I let them know? Keep pimping. your joy, Tony Jackson.

Well, I'll go to lunchbox first because this has happened to you. Yes. And they gave you too much money in your account, right? Absolutely. I went to deposit checks in the ATM, and I they gave me an extra like thousand dollars or something like that. And I was like, I'm not going to say anything. So I bought me plane tickets

to Vegas. The company pays you too much. Yeah. And the company has done it on my paycheck numerous times, and I'm like, I ain't going to say nothing. Why would you say anything? So you did buy those tickets to Vegas. Yeah, because, you know, they come to you, oh, We need that money. Money's gone. Sorry. That's my line. That is his line. That's my line. So this person should just sit back, relax, and reap the benefits because they may never notice. And you are living the, like you didn't do anything dishonest. You just are living your life. They put that money in your account. So if they don't notice, good on you. So you're saying, keep the money. Keep the money. If we look back at money's mine, sorry, whatever you say. Money's gone. Sorry. Thank you. What actually happened with that money that was gone, sorry?

They took it back. Yeah. Yeah. They took it back. How long until they realized, I'm sure they were doing some sort of self-auded. It was like six months. And they came back to you and said what? Hey, we're going to need that money and then they just took it from me. But why didn't you tell the money's gone sorry? I did. It said, spin it. And they said, we're taking it back. Sorry. Yeah, they said, well, we'll get it one way or another and they took it. I was the sucker on that one. But would you do it again?

I would do it again because I lived life for six months with that extra money. But then you lost that money later. Right. But in the moment, I got to enjoy. I got to have an experience. If I had given it back right away, I wouldn't have gone to Vegas. Yeah, he got an experience out of it. Do you have a lot of credit card debt?

I got credit cards. I've got a lot of credit cards. I mean, like in college, I probably signed up for 11 credit cards because they would give away free t-shirts. And I'd go to sporting events like baseball. games. Oh, free t-shirt. Let me sign out for that credit card. I guess my point is it sounds like you live very in the moment, not worrying about what can happen to you later. Yeah, you know why? Because we're not guaranteed to tomorrow. Like you can say, oh, let me plan for retirement,

but why? We may not make it there. So why not have fun now? Like, why not take that trip that you've been thinking about? Oh, you know what? I got three days off. Let me go here. Let me go there. And if you have the money, spend it. Then I think you can make those. decisions responsibly, not, I might die, so let me spend everything I have. And I ask about debt because are you doing the credit cards? You're just buying all kinds of crap. I don't buy a lot of crap. I buy good stuff. But yes. And also like people like, oh, you know, you started college funds for your kids. No. Why? Because you may not be alive. Yeah. I mean, they might not be alive. Or they could get a scholarship. Oh my gosh. Or they might not go to college. They might not go to

college, exactly. So why start a college fund? I didn't have a college fund when I was a kid. Okay, so Tony, you're telling him to keep the money. And if they ask for it, say, money's gone, sorry! I think we know that's not what to do. It's not what to do. I would let them know because you're just going to get

yourself in trouble, meaning if you're holding on to it, wondering, you're always going to wonder. You're going to be like, are they going to take it back? It's just going to be some weird stress. It's just always going to be hanging over you. If you spend it, you're going to be like, oh, boy, I need to watch my money in case they take it back. They're going to come and get it. If they're a company that is, as you say, financially stable.

They're a financially stable for a reason. They know what they're doing with their money. They're going to come back and get it. Just tell them, hey, I think I've been overpaid. Will you look at this, please? Yeah, and you never know. That could play in your favor down the line when they're looking to give somebody a raise or someone they can trust with a big project.

Like, they'll see you as someone that has their best interest in mind. and then therefore they're going to look out for you. Tony Jackson, you have two of us here saying you should probably tell them there's been an error on my paycheck. Tell them because he signed the email what? Keep pimping that joy. Keep pimping your joy. Yeah, so like pimp some joy their way and tell them about the mistake. Because they're going to come and get about 98% chance.

Yeah. And if they don't, you're still going to be stressed about it. Yes, because if they don't, maybe you never get caught. But the rest of your life, you're always going to be that guy. What guy? You never get caught. That's pretty good guy. I just feel like you're going to get caught.

All right, so two of us say, tell them immediately. Lunchbox says, money's gone. Sorry. You make your decision now, Tony, after you heard us, talk about that. All right, thank you for that email. Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailbag.

Yeah. That's right. And if you want to email us, Morgan, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. We know it's early, but Eddie has started. his walk early this morning. Everybody say good morning to producer Eddie. Good morning, Eddie.

Morning, guys. How are you feeling? This is it. This is the last day of the walk if you can do it. I feel like crap, but I do have a short walk in front of me. And how short is short? Ten miles. Yeah, that's nothing. Yeah, it's easy. I never walk 10 miles in my life. I ran 10 miles once.

It was miserable. I feel in my mind, I'm telling myself, people do this at Disney World all the time or six flags. Yeah. I guess that would be a full day of walking around. Yeah, except for they probably normally haven't done 20 miles and 20 miles and 20 miles the day before. True, true. Well, today, Eddie, we're hoping you finished during the show. He's raising money for National Angels.

We're not going to keep you too long. We know you're kind of on a busy spot there. But as you're going into the final day of walking, like give me one word that has described the last four days. One word, amazing. Wow. This experience has been amazing. And like getting to walk America with your own feet, it's pretty amazing. Well, it's only one state out of 50, but still.

Well, to be fair, it's kind of going to be three states. West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee. Yeah. But you have walked all the way across Virginia. Woo! That's why it's amazing. And so now does he feel like the song is fitting? I'm carrying your love with me from West Virginia down to Tennessee.

He hasn't told you. He doesn't even think the song means that anymore. No. Tell Amy what you've come to think about this song. To Amy, as I'm walking and I think of a lot. lot and I started thinking about the song and I'm thinking like, all right, George is maybe a musician from West Virginia and he's moving to Nashville to start a career and he's leaving his love behind. So he's just telling her like, hey, I got to move to Tennessee, but I'm carrying your

love with me, which makes my whole theory make no sense and this is stupid. True. True, but now you've raised a lot of money for a good cause, so there you go. You guys can go to bobbybones.com and donate five bucks if you have it, trying to raise enough money. And listen, if we had 100,000, we'll go bonkers. The goal was 10,000. We were, you know, we're basically 90,000 now. So Eddie, keep on trucking. We'll catch up with you next hour. Thanks, guys. Can't wait to see you. There he is. Producer Eddie.

It will be a 53 song album featuring artists from all different genres.

The album will be out on September 10th with profits going to charity. and co announced a new EP called Honky Tunk Hippies. The project will be out on July 2nd. They also announced a new tour to go along with the new EP. Tickets go on sale for the tour this Friday. Chase Rice reimagined his latest project, The Album, was stripped-back versions of all 15 songs. It's the album acoustic version, and it's available now.

I'm Morgan number two. that's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Yeah, I'll make something good. So this guy named Jeff had been laid off during the pandemic, and his daughter was like, hey, I will help you with your resume. Where do you want to work?

And he was like, I don't know, Costco seems like it would be a good place to work. So it was her goal to get him a job at Costco. So she tweets out a whole tweet where she's like, hey, he's great. He's obnoxious working. He's painfully helpful. And so she kept posting it, and then people started to retweet it to get her dad a job. job. And so Costco reached out to her because it got so many retweets and they were like, hey,

let's talk to your dad. Everybody's tagging us in this anyway. People keep retweeting it. We'll at least give him an interview. So we went in for the interview. He aced his interview. He landed the job. And then she posted a picture of the employee badge. Obviously, the manager's the one that found the tweets and interviewed him. But now he's working at Costco and she changed her name on Twitter to read Rebecca Mix, Micks, proud daughter of a Costco employee. Wow. I love that. People keep on sending a message going, hey, that's awesome. Great job. That's a fantastic story right there. That is what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. Reading this story because I think Facebook or just my feed now of everything gives me a lot of wedding stories since I'm about to get married. Yeah. And this bride wants to have a peacock walk down the aisle with her. Why? She loves peacocks. Okay.

But they're like, if you have a peacock walk down the aisle, it's going to be like unleashing angry murder chickens and guests will be massacred. That's what they're saying because the peacock's going to get spooked. Oh. okay. I didn't know that. Especially because it's not, well, do you know which peacock spreads? The male one? The male, that's right. Yeah, because that's what they used to attract the females. And so she wants to have, but it reminds me of what we're going through with our dogs.

Like, we right now feel like our dogs will walk down the aisle. Stanley, who's a bulldog who is extremely loving, but he loves people and loves to run through people. Yeah. Eller, who, I mean, she's going to get fixed next week. but she's been going through heat for like a month. Pretty wild. So, like, adopted dog, yeah. Are you already practicing them walking down the aisle?

Not yet. We have two friends that are going to walk the dogs down the aisle on a leash. But they could still, you know, go berser up with all the people there. And so what they're going to do is when we have our rehearsal, we're going to walk them through with no people. And if they're just fine, we'll leave them in the wedding. Okay. But we are planning on having our dogs in the wedding.

Well, yeah. I feel like starting now you and Caitlin could just like, create an aisle in your house and start practicing it. Yeah, I just think it's mostly going to be about the people. Okay. I do. Eddie, do you think our dogs will be fine walking down the aisle? I have no idea how your dogs are going to do.

Like, what are you baiting them with? Nothing. Like walk and be in a wedding, buddies. No, dude. You need, the preacher needs like a dog biscuit or something. No, they're going to mall the preacher. By the way, these dogs aren't bad dogs. No, no, no.

Mall is probably the wrong word. But maybe, like, you know, Stanley will ram right into him, give him a bruising his shin. I don't think we can dog treat them, but I do think if they're led by someone who's strong and they're held back, they'll be fine walking down the aisle. Eddie, you worried about your suit not fitting you? I mean, here you are.

You're walking day number four. Do you feel like you've lost more weight? Yeah, dude, for sure. Especially, like, the app I have. I mean, according to the app, I've lost, like, 6,000 calories. So that's not good. But I also ate a cheeseburger last night, so I should be all right. Well, unless that was like a double bacon eater, you should still be good.

Yeah, totally. Yeah, right. So that's been the food you're putting into your body as you go through this rigorous physical. You're eating cheeseburgers? When you're done, you're just exhausted and you're starving. You're like, just give me a cheeseburger. I don't care. Eddie's walking.

Today should be the day he finishes his walk from West Virginia to Tennessee. Were you going to say something, Eddie, before I went to the walk? I don't remember what I was going to say, but Rod joined me for the walk for a second. Oh, cool. I mean, he thinks it's a stroll in the park. He brought me coffee and like a biscuit. I'm like, dude, I can't walk with all this stuff in my hands. Well, anyone can walk for a minute.

Heck, I walk into work all day. It's easy as pie. Yeah. But I'm not walking 100 miles. But I think he's saying, like, Eddie's walking at a pace where he can't hold coffee and food and still, like, keep the stride, right? Yeah. Picture the ladies at the mall, like early in the morning. that's how fast I'm walking.

Oh, you're doing the old power walk. Yes. I don't have weights on my hands or anything, or I don't have my fists up, but I'm powering through. All right, Eddie's hoping to finish today. The goal is to finish today from West Virginia to Tennessee.

All right, check in with you later. All right, dude. Well, the question is, from a lot of our listeners, did you ever go cash in that check from the cat scam? Yes, we took the check to the bank, so I do have an update. Oh, you do?

Okay, so let me reset it real quick. A long time ago, Amy said, We're going to get a cat for my daughter. She's highly allergic, so he found one that wasn't as allergenic or something. I don't know why you picked that cat, but you picked a cat. Yeah, it's supposedly a hypoallergenic cat, Valinese. You send them money? They go, oh, sorry, your cat died.

We can't send it to you. Yeah, like literally the cat that we were assigned died. So we get on the air and we're like, all right, track these people down. We need this money back. Then all of a sudden you get a check in the mail. Yeah, but, I mean, like a long, long time had passed. So then I sort of think, did they feel like somehow they got word that I think that's the girl on the radio that you're scamming? You better pay her back.

Because, I mean, lawyers in Louisiana were hitting me up, like, we'll go after them. So the question is what happened? Let's all make our guesses right now on foot. Eddie walking West Virginia to Tennessee. Eddie, what do you think happened when Amy took this check to the bank? The cashier got it. Try to put it through the machine and it went, eh-uh. Okay.

Lunchbox? No good. Absolutely not a good check. and Amy, Amy's emotions were, oh, I got a check to, dang, I was getting scammed again. I think the check went through fine. I think they probably realized that they don't want to get caught because now they're on Front Street here. And they said, we better send her some money. Like, we're just going to be out this money.

So that's everybody, Ray, what do you think happened? Just like you, check went through, but there's maybe a two-day hold so she hasn't got the money yet, but the check was accepted. Amy, you go to the bank. You have the check. Talk me through it. Well, we go. And I'm like, hey, anything's suspicious. about this check, like what's going on? This looks like a normal check. Everything, you know,

I don't even know if you do this with checks, but like, just like money, held it up to the light. Like, everything seemed so legit about this check. Like, I thought there wasn't a doubt in my mind that it wasn't going to go through. And, yeah, we gave it to the person and she ran it, and the money is safely in my account. Yeah. Yeah. I think they knew they better give real money so this saga would end on a national stage. I'm shocked. I know. I was a little shocked, too, because I had been worked up to think that it was a scam because so many listeners were sending me messages, like, do not cash the check,

which I'm glad I didn't just go, like, randomly deposit. Like, we took it in, and it was a whole thing. And I'm sure the bank thought I was a little crazy, but it's fine. We got the money. So now we're just on the hunt for a new cat, and I got, I have the deposit back to make a new deposit. But I mean, it's like impossible.

Like, I don't know if these cats ever even really exist. Because, like, everyone I hit up online about it, I get nothing back. Your search for a Polanese cat Bollinese. Whatever it's called is like

my search for like an old Ford Bronco that's not a total piece of crap. Yeah. Because we're just kind of looking around for like a 68 to 73 Ford Bronco and they're either all pieces of crap or they're just like a million dollars.

Yeah. And you can't even, you can't find them. But then you see people online with them and you're like, how do you get that? Well, what it is, I sent a deposit into this place. They were like, trust us.

Yeah. And then they were like, it died. Like that's my favorite part. We were driving it to you and it died, man. Yes, because like it took them two weeks to reach back out to us because we got an update that the kittens were born and everything was great

and we were going to get the cat soon. And then they emailed us and they're like, oh, the cat passed away. We're like, when? They're like two weeks ago. Well, what took you two weeks? And they go, because it's so sad. All right, Eddie's walking.

Eddie, we think we're going to finish today? Absolutely, we're finishing today. There's no doubt in my mind. I mean, I really, at the beginning of this, thought I was going to have a whole week to do this, but somebody wanted me to finish on Wednesday. Yeah, here's why. I needed Eddie to finish on Wednesday because if for some reason something happened, like a bad storm like yesterday, and he wasn't able to finish,

I didn't need him finishing on a Saturday so we couldn't enjoy it as a show. Like a lot of people have donated to this. We spent a lot of time invested in it. And I wanted to make sure that he finished. And if we set Wednesday as a goal, worst case scenario Friday, he was going to finish. So that, hey, Eddie, sorry I'm being a responsible. Hey, who's your guy? Who never left you down?

This guy. Well, you've let him down for, I'm sure. He really doesn't let me down that often. What, once a week? There was that one time I was late for golf for like an hour and a half. And there was one time in New Orleans where we were leaving after our tour date, and I was like, we're leaving. Eddie's late everywhere.

And it hit zero zero. We drove to the airport. Eddie comes running out of the hotel. Like, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, well, also, too, there's conditions that are out of Eddie's control. Like Eddie can be, he's in control if he's on time to tour. But like weather, if there's lightning, has to take shelter.

Like there's other things that could slow him down. So I think Wednesday was appropriate, Eddie. Yeah, thank you. No, not thank you. Well, no. That's Bobby. That's to Bobby. She was honking at me.

She was honking me so I thought I was going to die. So I just said thank you. Okay. To God? We just heard his talk with God. That's what happened. All right, Eddie. We are going to let you walk for a little bit.

We'll check back in with you next hour, okay? All right, man. There he is, producer Eddie. We're trying to finish that walk today. West Virginia to Tennessee. Four days in the making. Basically a hundred miles through the mountains. Can he finish today?

So a TikToker tested out a dog shock collar and almost knocked herself out. So honestly, this thing is kind of weak. I'm not going to lie.

So I cranked it all the way up to level 99. So I'm going to see if that really does anything. I'm going to just go ahead and try to get... Oh! 99. Yeah. We go to level 10 on ours. Yeah.

And we don't even do 10. When we used to do it, we would do it at like 6 or 7. We did. Are you sure? I'm positive. I would never shock you guys on 10. Okay. Oh, probably I didn't.

Maybe once. I feel like there were times where I thought maybe something. was happening to me. So the hottest accessory this summer is temporary tattoos. So if you ever wanted to get a tattoo or maybe you want to be a part of this trend, I mean, they cost about $40 to get a good one and you can apply it on and they'll last for about two weeks and then you can wash it off. And then you're a part of like the whole tattoo trend. Well, and these aren't the ones that you stick on your arm and you peel the sticker back. Yeah, it's not like the one that you get in like cracker jar box or something. No, it's like a legit temporary. Temporary

tattoo, you can order them and get them put on, and it's pretty awesome. Well, they last a little bit, too. Like you said, two weeks. I would compare it to if you ever got a spray tan, which I will say I have many times. Yes, you have. Heck, I have another one tonight because I got to go shoot some stuff next week. But you can't just wash it off. You can scrub it over days and it can go away, but that's what these tattoos are. So when you get one, you're kind of stuck with it. So if you get a neck tattoo, just to be funny, it's not going to go away for a couple weeks. Yeah, searches for temporary summer tattoos have gone up by more than 450%. So everybody is definitely very into these. That's pretty cool, though, if you wanted to try one out and see how it looked.

I know. So should someone have to try one out on their neck? Or their face. I think they should have to wear one for two weeks before they actually get it. Oh, no. Okay, so I'm pretty pumped about this because Amy Grant was my first concert ever when I was a kid, and she is headed out on tour. It all started because she's celebrating the 30th anniversary of her album Hardin Motion, and that's going to be coming out July 9th, but she didn't want to stop there. She decided to hit the road this fall and she's going to 39 cities. So she starts in August and then wraps up in October. So you can check out like amygrant.com, I think, for cities near you. That is a significant tour, 40 cities. Yeah. I mean, that's so big that I

don't think she's going to be doing the classic country tour of Friday, Saturday, then come home. It seems like that's too many dates for that. Well, it looks like she goes in a row. Like she's like, for example, August 5th, 6th, and 7th. She's hitting up like three different cities in her. row. Yeah, that could still be a weekend, though. Anyway, it's significant amount. Yeah. The only Amy Grant's song that I can think of right now is baby, baby. Oh, yeah. But are there other ones I should know? Oh, yeah. That's what love is for. Love is for. Or what about every heartbeat? Oh, every heart beat. Yeah. Every day. Every heartbeat your name. Loud and clear they say my name. Yeah. Yes. I mean.

I'm like, I don't know any of the songs. And I'm singing along our greatest hits. And then in fifth grade at my talent show, I performed Galileo, and it was so good. I still know my dance routine, so I could bust that out. She should come in here if she's promoting a tour. She should. Mike Dee? Let's book her.

The last time she came in, it was a surprise for Amy, and all of that was about that surprise. Yeah, you blindfolded me. And then she had to kiss you on the cheek. No, but awkwardly, you did make me guess who was in the room, and I never guessed her, so it was awkward. Oh, yeah, let's have a redo. Let's bring her back in. And then your guests are first. We'll blindfoldy again, but you'll guess her first.

Yes. Okay, is that it? Yep, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

So this little girl, Vivian Meyer, told her mom, I want to shave my head, but she had a good reason for it. Now, she's lost three grandparents to cancer, and at nine years old, she told her mom, I'm going to shave my head in fundraise to raise cancer awareness. And she started off wanting $500. But at the buzz off for kids cancer event, Vivian raised more than $3,000. Man, that's crazy to shave your head.

Good for her. I mean, that's... I shaved my head once when I was in high school. It was our senior year. We were playing Magna Cove in a football game. We thought if we all shave our head in solidarity, we'll beat them. We didn't win that game. We took her helmets off the end of the game

We all got idiots Yeah I left mine on How is your head shaved Like terrible I have a huge head My mom cried Oh okay

When I came home with the shaved tape I just respect her so much I mean I mean to be at nine And know that But also yes Yes yes all that right She's nine

She's doing something bigger than herself She raised a bunch of money But even being A female Like your hair is more valuable As a girl Than as a guy Yeah

Takes us a lot longer I thought I wear a headband too to cover it up. I still had moles on my head. It was a whole thing. A headband? Well, yeah. Oh, like a sporty one? Yeah. Okay, I was picturing like a cute little top knot thing.

No, like a headband. Gotcha. And it was not a good look. Man, we lost. We all look like idiots. We pulled our helmets off to shake hands it afterward and they were laughing at us. Yeah, but you probably looked united. Hey, I've hated Magnacove ever since then.

Yeah. All right, there you go. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Here are your top three songs in country music this week. At number three, Chris Young and Kane Brown, famous friends. At number two, Dirk's Bentley Gone.

And the number one song, again this week, is Luke Combs forever after all. I think that's the exact same as last week, right? Three, two, one? Wow. Nothing moves whenever Luke Combs digs his heels in and wants to stay in a spot. You just don't take Luke Combs out of the top. spot. A big pop song right now is Duolipa Levitating.

And the number one alternative song from the Imagine Dragons. You know them? Yeah, I do. I love them. Thunder. Yeah, my kids love them too. And the guy wears athletic gear when he's on stage. Like, he just ran out. Like, dude, the gyms over there. Yeah, no, he did an Iron Man and then came on stage. A follow you

from Imagine Dragons. That's a good one. Yeah. I didn't know that I'd heard that one before. Yeah, that's a good one. All right, let's go over and get in the morning corny with Amy. The morning corny. Why did the bank robbers call their travel agent? Why did the bank robbers call their travel agent? It's a plan their getaway.

That's so dumb. All right. It's good, though. That was the morning corny. Remember that woman we're talking about that gave birth to 10 babies at once? And then her husband's like, hey, you guys stop sending her money. I never saw her pregnant. Yeah. Yeah, he hadn't seen the babies, nothing. Well, the first story was she was pregnant with 10 babies. Then the 10 babies came out. Then her husband was like, hey, guys,

like story three of this whole saga. Hey, stop sending all this money to me and to her because I don't even know these babies even exist. Well, now here we have it. Apparently she's in trouble because she was never even pregnant. Quote, the medical evaluation has shown there was no pregnancy. It also shows there are no physical scars to indicate a recent C-section. Seems like she was just trying to scam everybody. But 10 babies is, I have a lot of babies. She could have just scammed with like five, six. I don't know that five would have done it.

I think seven probably is where you go. Oh, we should probably give them a little help. Yeah, they might need a little money. You ever see Octo Mom anymore, Lunchbox? I haven't seen her lately. I've seen a couple pictures, but the kids are like 12 or 13. They're old now. She's one of those stories that I look back and go,

I still remember talking about that. Like one of those, before things really went viral, viral stories. Another one is the woman who said she was abducted in like the van. Oh, yeah. She was supposed to get married, but she was abducted by two Hispanic men in a white van and it really... Very specific. I think her last name was Fairbanks and she was from Atlanta.

And then turns out she wasn't at all. She made the whole story up. Like, just leave. Just deal with him later. But yeah, she made up a whole new story that went viral. Speaking of viral, our guy Eddie is starting to go viral, much to lunchbox's chagrin. He's out dominating, he's walking, we're going to check in with him live. We're hoping that he can finish his walk today. We feel good about it.

He's on the road. Eddie West Virginia to Tennessee. We'll check in with him next. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian University based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. They say higher education is outdated,

Let's go check with our producer Eddie, who is walking from West Virginia to Tennessee. Eddie, how many miles do you have left this morning before you complete this epic, epic journey?

Oh yeah, epic it is. I got phones. I have about three miles, man. I can smell. The finish line. He has three miles left and is basically 100 mile journey. Doing the carrying your love with me journey. And Eddie, I'm going to pull up the number right now if we can get a little towboard action, Ramundo. Because when I refresh it, Eddie, you have raised. Thank you.

$168,637. That's crazy. Wow, are you kidding me? $168,000. That's insane. Wow. That's amazing. So, the original goal of this walk was for $10,000. That's the dumb part. Wow.

Whenever it was about to get $100,000 last night, I was at the Opry and I was with Morgan number one. And she was like, have you seen the total? I was like, no, what is? He goes, it's $100,000. And I was like, wow. So I posted on my Instagram. I saw Morgan did an Instagram live with you that was posted on the show account and listeners just continued to pour in money, five and ten bucks at a time.

And now here we are close to $175,000. I mean, that's the goal right now. It's 175. If we can hit that. Oh, okay. Let's go. I think that's doable. Because Eddie's struggling right now.

I am. I mean, I woke up and I'm like, oh, let's get this done fast. And I did for about five miles. And then, dude, honestly, you know, my butt hurts, like more than anything. I know my feet hurt, but the address. The adrenaline killed that page. Every time I stop, my feet are throbbing, whatever. But my butt is killing me.

On Sunday of last week, he started walking from West Virginia to Tennessee, if you're new to the show. And he's about to hit Tennessee. He's about to do the whole George Strait walk. We're so proud of you. You're not there yet, three miles left. Would you say this is the hardest three miles because your body is in such bad shape? Well, I just got energized by that total number. So, yes, it was the hardest until I talked to your.

right now. So yeah. If you guys go to bobbybones.com, you'll see it up there on the front. Click that Eddie link. And then if you can donate five or ten bucks, we would be so grateful. Eddie's not keeping hardly any of this money. He's not keeping any of it. You can also watch them on the stream. So I'll let you walk for a minute. We'll come back to you, okay? All right, buddy. What town are you in, by the way, Eddie? I didn't ask that. I'm in Bristol, Virginia. That's right, because it's on both sides. That's it. You got to cross over into Bristol, Tennessee. Oh, but it's great, though, dude.

I hadn't seen a Chili's, a Long John Silver's. I'm walking in front of a KFC right now. I mean, I'm in civilization. Says their feet is frozen, no signal. I guess he's in and out of signal. Yeah, it dropped on us. Okay, go watch the Facebook page, though, Bobby Bone Show, and you will see, hopefully, Eddie, walking.

Let me talk to Marcia, who is in Virginia. Marcia, what's going on? Yes. Hi, I just wanted to call and say. I think it's really incredible what he's doing. and my husband and I are foster parents and we've been doing this a little over nine years and I think it's just incredible what he's doing.

Yeah, we do too. We're very proud of them. What started as a dopey bit turned into us helping a lot of families. Mostly it's Eddie, but you know, this show and the B team helping a lot of families that are foster parents with foster children. So heck of a job.

We're almost there. Hopefully in the next 45 minutes or so Eddie actually finishes this on the air. So thank you, Marsha. How long have you been listening to the show? Fairly, listener, but I think it's absolutely incredible. So we want to go ahead and donate to the cause. Oh, well, nice. We're going over there to Bobby Bones.com. Let me ask you this. Are you now going to be a

listener for sure? Like, are you committed now? I am committed. It's wonderful. We got the kids in the car. We're going to, uh, ready to go to daycare and it's incredible. All right. There she is. We love, we love new listeners. All right, Marcia. Thank you. Have a great day. You too. Bye-bye. All right, lunch, lunch, walk. You don't get mad at this. You know, I gotta be honest, I was against Eddie. Well, Eddie did make the news. No.

So this was when this thing started. This is news in West Virginia. And this is the first of probably many. Hopefully not. So this is Eddie making the news. W-O-A-Y in West Virginia interviewed him on the news about his walk. Here we go. Radio personality Eddie Garcia is on a mission.

He co-hosts the Bobby Bones radio show and is now walking from West Virginia to Tennessee and raising big bucks for a special charity. News reporter Chariston Clark caught up with Garcia to find out why this journey means so much to him. He decided, though, that if he was going to tackle this challenge, he wanted to raise money for National Angels, a charity that holds special meaning to him. I got on the radio one day, and I just was making a point that the George Strait song from West Virginia down to Tennessee, and I said, like an idiot, well, that's not that far. And so they kind of made me put my money where my mouth was and said,

all right, big shot. If you think that's not far, why don't you walk it? And that's when I decided, all right, if I'm going to do this, I'm going to raise some money for foster care because I'm a foster dad. It's so dear to my heart that it was a no-brainer to do this for them. So you hear he made the news. Is that drive you crazy? Yes.

Why? It's for a wonderful cause. I mean, he went for a walk. And so he makes the news for going for a walk. And raising money for a number. Well, not a walk. It's basically a hundred miles. A journey.

Through the mountains. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, we're back on the feed. We're back up. We're watching Eddie on our Facebook page. He's walking. Looks like it with a limp, but he's walking. He's coming up on Hardys. Put it on the news. Don't be a hater. So I used to wait tables. It was a really good job for my life, meaning I learned a lot about service. I learned a lot about how awesome or awful people could be because you're really just depending on the kindness of strangers.

combined with how good of a job that you do to actually pay your bills. And so in that job, I was a dishwasher and then I was a busboy and then I was a waiter. When I got to be a waiter, I thought I was big time. I was like, I made it. I was at the pinnacle of the service industry.

And it was a great job, and you know what? I guess pretty good at it because I could talk to people, I can make them laugh. I was pretty good with drinks. I only spilled a whole tray on one table one time. I mean, just boboosh, everywhere. And I worked at a place called the DeSoto Club

in the Hot Springs Village, where I had to wear a full tuxedo to work every night. And it was such a pain in my butt to have to make sure that full tuxedo was completely clean. And so I would just do my danglest to not get any dirt and then just laid on the bed and then wear it again the next night. And so I was working and I was making money. But I was always okay if someone didn't tip me well.

I was like, you know what? Maybe they didn't have the money. Maybe I didn't do a good enough job. But some of the people that I worked with would go out and chase people into the street or parking lot. and be like, hey, hey, hey, you didn't tip me. In their tucks? Yeah, and full close.

They're like, did you forget to tip me? And they'd hold it up and be like, hey, right here, right here. And I go, you are crazy. You're going out into a place where you're completely vulnerable. I never saw someone chase someone for not paying a ticket, only for not tipping. Now, this waitress went out because people ran out on a bill, on a $70 bill. No, dash and dine. Yeah, dine and dash.

Which I would never go chase anybody for any reason whatsoever. but she is 20 years old waitress abducted and assaulted after chasing five people who ran out on a $70 bill the 20 year old suffered bruises and a possible concussion in the attack Oh my gosh

A waitress was allegedly abducted and assaulted by a group of five people after chasing them down when they walked out of that bill The incident happened 1115 June 19th at Nifty 50s in Turner'sville in New Jersey when the 20 year old waitress

was taken away in a vehicle for a short time after confronting a group she had served in the restaurant. Surveillance footage shows the woman being pulled into a white Dodge Durango as one person flees the vehicle before it pulls away with the waitress inside. I mean, wild. Wild that they didn't just go, hey, shut up. And they got in the car and drove off.

Wow, they grabbed her, threw in the car, beat her up. Get her out of the car. Totally. I was thinking maybe some teenagers that are trying to be like, hey, let's dine and dash. But these are just overall bad people. Here's the thing. I don't care what industry you're in. Do not chase after people if they're not stealing your kid or they're not hurting somebody you're around.

Yeah, because it's just not worth it. Because they do worse things than just steal your stuff. Like she's going to be dealing with that for the rest of her life. Like it's such a traumatic event and it was a $70 bill that yeah, they should have paid but... Well, I'm sure she won her $14. It's a 20% tip. I know. And I tell you what, I can tell you these people right here weren't going to give you 20%.

If they were going to tip, they were like a 7%er. to keep the change for $1.40. But that's a really sucky story. Totally. I just wanted to share it with you guys. I hope they're all in jail. Yeah, Amy, you tell them. I do.

Lock them up. The only problem is when they get out, I'd be scared that they're going to come back. You're always scared of people getting out of jail and getting it. I am. I am. That's why I'd just rather let it be. But what if everybody just let every crime be?

I know. I know. I'm not saying it's the right thing. You know what, that's true. I got robbed and beat up. I know. You know what, officer, I choose to let it be today. I know.

They're like, wow, is that like Pimp and Joy? Let it be. Listen, I know it's not the right thing. I just like to avoid confrontation. Let's check the tote board. Producer Eddie's walking West Virginia to Tennessee. We cannot believe how much money he has made. I'm watching these little balls go do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-do-d-do-d-do-d-do. The new number is.

And put Eddie up for this if you don't mind, because he's walking right now. There's no stream right now. There's no stream. There's no service. Eddie, are you there? Yeah, I'm here, Bone. The new number is $179,000. $804.

We did it. It got to $1.75. We got to $1.75. Listen. I mean, no. Anything over like 75 period, we were like, we can't believe it. We cannot believe it. We cannot believe you guys are this generous.

We are so grateful. We are now $180,000. Don't give me the itch for $200. Just don't give me that itch. I feel like I have an it. I don't want the it because we're too close to finishing. And I don't want to hit a goal and make it seem like we didn't hit our goal. Hey, Bone.

What? What are you feeling right there? Is that itching? I'm just great. That's what I feel. I feel grateful. That is just gratefulness. Oh, he's back on the stream.

Eddie, how many more miles do you think you have? I think I have two because scuba and I got a little system going. He honks for every mile that I have left, and I just heard two honks. He's walking two more miles. Did that start in the beginning? Because I'd have been like 100 honks. No. It just started.

Eddie, for four days, it's been walking. Nonstop, West Virginia to Tennessee, raising money for National Angels. Eddie, what hurts on you the most? I mean, it's always something different, but right now it's still my butt, man. The right side, my right butt cheek is burning. I would imagine it's because the slope of the road and most of your weight is going on that right side because it's kind of... I think you're right. Do you feel like your buns are a little tighter after this four-day walk?

Hey, it's funny you say that, dude. this morning I was feeling it. I'm like, hey, it's never felt that plump before. We have some voice smells. We're going to play for Eddie here. This is Ali in Mississippi. I know Eddie is walking, and he's in Virginia right now, and my family actually lives in Virginia,

and I am super, super proud of Eddie. I'm so happy for him. This is Patrick from Virginia. Oh, man, I'm calling in for Eddie. Man, he's doing a great job, and I know that walk down 19. downhill was probably just as bad as it was walking up those hills. Good luck to Eddie.

Good luck to the show. Congratulations on all the money you all raised, and I'm so proud of you guys. And I love what y'all are doing. Thanks again. Later. One more. This is voicemont number three. Good morning, studio.

I want to put on Susan who called us. She is the CEO of National Angels. This is a group that helps foster families. Hi, Susan. How are you? So good, obviously. So excited. What are you thinking as you hear Eddie walk 100 miles for your organization National Angels?

Well, I mean, it's just a dream come true. It's unbelievable. We are over here just really watching the numbers go up because what it says is that people care. about children, youth, and families in the foster care system. And it shows every single family and every one of the 430,000 children across this country, that they matter. We have a saying that every single child deserves at least one healthy adult who knows the color of their eyes and the passions of their heart. And today, that is what every single and over the course of the last four days, like this is what the world is doing for these kids. So I am just overjoyed, overwhelmed.

I've been sending voice memos to Eddie, reading off referrals. Like, I'm freaking out. It's so amazing to have this kind of support. I agree. I mean, I'm just amazed at how hard Eddie has worked in this. The effort, the passion that he has for not only being a foster parent, but for working with your organization. He didn't just pick this today or the last four days. He's actually been an ambassador and worked with you guys a lot previously.

So for us, for me, for this show, for the B team to be able to come together and do this, not for you, Susan, but for you and all the kids who need it. Like, that's what we feel like this show is supposed to be used for. And so we like you are thrilled. We're just so thrilled. And I look at the number right now. We're at $183,000. Oh my gosh. It almost makes me want to go, is there any chance we can get to $200.

But Eddie is so close to finishing. And I don't want to diminish his, if we don't hit it, I don't want to be like, oh, like I don't want to put anything there. that makes us go, oh, we're. Yeah, but if you think of it this way, we're already so far beyond the original bowl was $10,000 and now we're... Yes, I'll just say this. If you go to bobbybones.com and you want to get $5 or $10 to support Eddie and to support this wonderful organization, you'll see it up at the beginning.

He says Eddie's Walk for Charity. You can also go to our Facebook page. In the comments, we have pinned the top comment. Five or ten bucks will be fantastic. Susan, we'll talk to you again maybe later today or on tomorrow's show once we kind of all catch our breath, but we are very grateful for the work that you do as well. So let that not escape me. We're just so thankful that you do what you do. Thank you. Thank you so much. And on behalf of every child and family that will be impacted

because of these $5 and $10 donations, I want to just speak on behalf of them and thank you for caring. What will $183,000 do for you guys? Like really? Oh my gosh. Well, let me tell you, Bobby, that I was expecting $10,000. So this is a... is like the best situation to have possible because, of course, you know, most charities need the funding in order to serve and do what it is that they're called to do. And so for us, we're going to use this seed capital money to be able to reach and serve more kids. So just to give you kind of perspective, we operate in 16 states and in 22 cities across the country. But our goal is to reach and serve every single child, youth, and family across the country.

So we have 430,000 children in the foster care system. And so we will not stop until we keep opening up chapters so we can reach and serve more kids. So we're going to use this money for capacity building to allow us to reach and serve more of incredible families like Eddie. Susan, thank you. We will talk soon. Eddie, keep on trucking, buddy. And we'll check in with him in a few minutes as well. Every time Susan talks, I get goosebumps because it's so, like, I can hear the excitement

and her voice and just knowing the impact that this type of money is going to make that, you know, because Eddie's out there doing all the work and our listeners are showing up. But, I mean, this type of money, I mean, Susan, I know that, you know, normally you'd probably have to like do all kinds of events or different this or that, but I just love that our listeners are showing up like this. I love it so much. It's just incredible, Amy. And I'm thankful for everyone at the show and I'm thankful for every person who has donated.

It's just so incredible. And it shows people that you can make a difference. And you might think, like, well, what's $5? What can $5 do? Well, when it's combined with 3,000 other people who are also giving what they can, man, that's where the power is. So let the novelty not be lost on everyone that we will change incredible people's lives with this money. Susan, thank you. We'll talk to you soon.

Okay, guys. All right, let's talk to Eddie real quick, Raymondo, before we jump out of here. Eddie, did you hear that call? Listen to her, man. I love Susan. She knows what's up. How you feeling? You're almost there.

Dude, I'm a little over a mile away, and I got good. I still have goosebumps from that phone conversation. So either that or I'm overheating and I need more water. Dude, I'm almost there, man. I'm pumped. Okay, Eddie is getting closer and closer to the finish line. You can watch them on our Facebook page.

Search for the Bobby Bone show. Thousands of people watching them right now. We're probably 20 minutes out, 25 minutes out, something like that for Eddie finishing the finish line. Here's the challenge I'd like to do. I'd like to, what country artists is listening right now that are calling donate? These rich folks, $1,000. I don't know. I mean, because sometimes they listen when they're dropping their kids off at school, but nobody's in school right now.

That's right. Well, wait, come up. Let's see. All right, Eddie, we'll talk to you in a minute. Susan, we'll talk to you in a little bit. You guys can go to bobbybones.com. if you want to help raise money. We're five, ten bucks.

It's all we ask. Thank you. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Anita Sanchez was excited about her upcoming wedding and she wanted both her sons to be able to walk her down the aisle. The only problem is her 17-year-old Sergio has leukemia

and he wasn't going to be out of the hospital in time. So he wasn't going to be able to go to the wedding. So the staff at the hospital in Los Angeles said, hey, we got this. And they made a little ceremony of them. put up lights, made a bouquet out of paper. One of the nurses was with the bridesmaid, and he got to walk her down the aisle. And then at the real wedding, that video played of him walking her down the aisle,

and she got married. So I wonder if that video played and then went to her other son. Then her other son walked, yeah, her down the aisle in the real life. Wow, that's a good story. Dang, they went, I'm looking at the pictures now. They went the extra mile there. Shout out to those guys. Shout out to that mom, too.

Hey, shout out to the search. Shout out to everybody. Shout out's all around. That is what it's all about. about. That was Tell Me Something Good. I think we're going to finish this walk in the next 20 minutes or so. Eddie is on the phone right now walking from West Virginia all the way to Tennessee, just like

the George Strait song says, hey Eddie, I have good news and have bad news. Thank you. What's up, Ben? I got it. Who are you talking to right now? Officer Willis. Oh, well, listen. I'll sit.

Yeah. Don't worry. He's not writing me a citation. I think he has a gift for me. I see him pull over. You were now beside you. And since you spent most of your time in Southwest Virginia, a sticker for Southwest Virginia.

Thank you so much. I appreciate that. Sir. Thank you. He gave me, bones. He gave me a couple of badges, one for me, one for you. And then a sticker that says, West Virginia, South Southwest Virginia.

Don't confuse us. I wouldn't. Hey, Eddie, did he give me a badge? Like a real police badge? No, no. It's like a patch, he thinks he gave us, he thinks you gave us a badge. Can we arrest anyone with you?

Okay That's the Patsy says Hey tell him Tell him we said thank you And then we appreciate what he does Every single day All right We say, hey Bobby says thank you

We appreciate everything you do every day Bobby I love the show All right man He loves us bones He says the big fan I saw him Thank you pulling you over I guess you're walking

But I saw him pull up beside you And I was like oh no Tell him to turn on the lights For the last mile or two Oh he looked Beo Yeah He actually said that

For going so slow I'm hard to catch up to Okay Go to the Facebook page I don't either Bobby Bones show Searching on Facebook All right the good news or the bad news Eddie

Oh Let's go bad news first Are we at Mike? Are we back? The good news is That so many people are trying to donate Eddie Okay, that's great news Yeah

Go ahead What's the bad news? It crashed the site Yeah Oh no We can't get anything Oh no that is bad news We can't even get on the site

Like, so many people went to it, completely crashed it. We were at $183,000. We were trying to get $200,000, and all of a sudden it went completely offline. They're working on it, though. Okay, okay. So I think you should, I think you turn around and go back to West Virginia. I knew you were about to say something stupid like that. I saw you as I'm watching you on the stream on our Facebook page.

I saw you pulled over to the side and you had to start stretching your butt and your cap. It looked pretty painful. Yeah, well, anytime I see. like a curb on the road or whatever, I stretch my cap out. Because, yeah, that tightens up, man. And I've really been worried the whole time that I'm going to get a cramp in my leg. And, I mean, I'm less than a mile away, and it hasn't happened. I'll knock on some kind of wood here, but I don't have any.

Okay, keep walking. We will check back in with you in a few minutes. You're now in a neighborhood, it looks like. Yeah, dude. I can see downtown. Like, it's five blocks away or something. Well, knock on someone's door, ask for some breakfast. Eddie is.

in Bristol, Virginia, really close to crossing the border to Bristol, Tennessee. We're hoping to do this live on the air coming up in the next 15 minutes or so. I wish we were all there at the border with like ribbon. I know. You get in the car now. Go, Amy. Just go. We can get there.

Okay. How long are it take me? Six hours. Oh, never mind. Gosh. You know, I don't even want to admit to something kind of that I was thinking, which clearly I wasn't thinking because I thought, why would it take so long to drive to get there? He's only going 100 miles away.

But he's not ending in Nashville. He's ending at the border of Tennessee. But I kept thinking like, why are people having to drive so far to get to him? It's only 100 miles from us, but it's not. Yeah, but then you start thinking that, obviously. Then my brain caught up and I was like, okay, yeah. All right, well, check in with Eddie in a second. You can leave him on, right?

Let's go ahead and do the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. Eddie, are you worried you'll have any sort of injury, like afterward? There'll be long term. Maybe. I don't know. I'm telling you, I'm pretty numb. I know there's pain in there, and I just, I mean, I'm sure I've got something. Maybe, like, people have said planter fasciitis, maybe.

I don't know how bad that is, but I could have that. Lab analysis of subway tuna sandwiches fails to identify tuna DNA. Oh, we've had surprised. It's more like tuna flavored sandwiches. Yeah, I think we've known that the tuna is not real. It's just something you have to accept. Did we really expect it to come out 100% tuna? I don't think so.

A lab test commissioned by the New York Times failed to identify any tuna DNA in a series of subway tuna sandwiches. That means one of two things. Either it's so heavily processed that the tuna could in isolate a genetic tag or there's nothing there that's tuna. Either way, I'm fine. Just make me taste tuna. Just make it taste like tuna. A bison injures a woman in Yellowstone National Park. A bison is injured. A hiker in the park. How the bison hurt the woman is still unknown, but she had significant.

significant injuries. Quote, we're not clear how the encounter with the bison occurred. Park officials won't identify the woman. She's been flown to the hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Bison injure one or two people in Yellowstone on average a year. If I were guessing, I'm just guessing, don't know the answer. I bet she tried to take a picture with one. A selfie? And maybe not, but if you saw bison, it was right on the side of the trail, would you not try to get a little picture close to it? 100%. I'm not too good to admit that. No, I'm not. Eddie saw a bear. man if that bear would have let me get close to it I would have taken a picture with it

okay there you go that's the news thank you guys those were Bobby's B stories we think in the next segment Eddie will finish West Virginia to Tennessee we believe it so if we go away pretty quick we'll come back and Eddie should be crossing the finish line as he started in West Virginia he will end in Tennessee it's basically a hundred mile walk we gave you guys a link to donate but I mean in the best way possible you crash the site. We have no idea what's going on. The whole site is down. You can't donate.

They can't make more money. I mean, it's the greatest problem to have. I mean, I guess there are greater problems to have, like being too hot, being too rich. Yeah. But this is a pretty good problem. It's a pretty good problem, yeah. All right, keep checking that link if you can. We'll check in with Eddie next.

No, I see the sign. You're talking like 300 yards away right now. Okay, don't cross it. The site's back up. Okay, Eddie, the site apparently has been crashed the entire time. Don't cross it yet, okay? Okay, okay, I'm not moving. We are going to cross this segment, but the site we've been raising money on has crashed.

Again, what a lovely problem to have. However, okay, I'm getting the numbers. I still see $0 raised. It's back up at least so people can donate. So the donations are back up. Are we sure? Positive. Okay, try to go.

I mean, try to go donate if you can. We were at like $185,000. We were trying to hit $200. I think we would have had it, had the site not crashed. Eddie is about to finish his journey. For those that are just turning the radio on for the first time, let me explain to you before Eddie makes that walk. And you can watch this right now on our Facebook page.

Just go search Bobby Bone Show. You will see the live stream of Eddie crossing the line. But months ago, Eddie made an offhand comment about a George Strait song, Carrying in your love with me. Where's the sign? Oh, we're listening in. Oh, I got you, I got that. Okay.

Take a picture, I believe it. We're listening in on Eddie finding the sign. Well, I see the big sign, but there's supposed to be a plaque on the street that I can't find. But that doesn't matter. I see the border. Okay. So Eddie says that's not very far to carry your love. We said, then do it yourself, wise guy.

And he goes, why would I do that? This is the radio show. I just say funny stuff. He said, if you raise $10,000 for an organization that I work with, National Angels, I will do it. We put that on the air. And you guys turned 10 and quickly it was 50. Hyundai donated $10,000 to $60. We couldn't believe it when it got up to $100.

100 last night. My eyeballs were humongous when I saw $100,000. Woke up this morning is $150,000. Recently, the last time we checked before you guys crashed the site, it was at $185,000. We have no idea what it is right now, or even if it's $1 more because the love you guys have shown Eddie and shown this show has crashed the site.

Eddie, how far are you out from the site, from the sign? I'm like 20 feet away. I'm right under the sign, but all I'd have to do is cross the street to get into Tennessee. Are you ready to cross that line? Yeah, let's go. Count us down, Eddie.

All right. Wait, there's cars. Hold on. All right, here we go. Five, four. I want to make the car stop. Two, one. And I'm crossing the street, guys.

There he is. One hundred miles. You did. I win. Tennessee. Almost $200,000. You made it. Eddie, you made it.

How do you feel right now? Oh, I feel good. Oh, I feel good. Now, really, how do you feel right now? Oh, dude, I feel great. Look, there's a Tennessee flag on a light pole. I want to climb it so bad and grab it, but I can't. How?

Physically, how are you right the second? Oh, dude, I feel great. I feel no pain. I'm probably in a lot of pain. I don't feel it, though. I'm sitting down for a second, though. He's taking a break. We're watching him right now.

There are over 14,000 people watching live on the stream as Eddie walks across into Tennessee. Don't sit too long because you might not be able to get back up. That's a good point. I'm like France. Yeah. So Eddie, what's the plan now? You just finished. What do you do with the rest of your day?

Oh, I just told scuba, hey, man, bad news. I might fall asleep on the way home. Well, yeah. You deserve it. So I'm going to get some Gatorade bones, grab something to eat, and then we're going to head back to Nashville, dude. I miss you guys. I miss my family, so I'm ready to get back. Almost 15,000 people watching the live stream right now as Eddie crosses over into Tennessee. We are extremely proud of you for doing this walk, for putting your feet where your mouth is,

for raising a bunch of money, just for doing what you do, man. It's four days. You're away from your family. We're very proud to have you on the show. Very proud that you're a friend and very proud of the work you've done. Thanks, Bones. Thank you. Thank you to all our listeners, really, everyone that donated. But everyone that followed me along the way and encouraged me. There are about five to ten people here that brought signs and watched me walk across.

That's so cool to me. And we're not even on the air there. No, we're not. No, so it's awesome. Yeah, so there are a bunch of random people going, why is this random guy walking through our neighborhood? Yeah. Hey, Eddie, let me talk to Scoobie, Steve, for a second. You got it.

Hold on. Hey, what's up, man? Scooba, to you. You did drive the entire time at one mile an hour, and that, too, is a feat in itself. Yes. Yeah, thank you. Are you sore? My right butt cheek is sore.

My right shoulder is sore. I mean, God, I really could do the massage. Oh, we need to get... But the Hyundai was nice and comfortable, though, so I appreciate it. Also, thanks to Hyundai for giving us to Tucson, for helping us out with some other stuff to make sure we could be safe. What are you saying, Amy? Oh, we need to get Eddie a massage. Like, we should arrange that.

Well, scuba. In scuba. Yeah, both of them. No, no, we'll give him one. Oh, that's a little bit. what we're going to do. Oh, there you go. All right. This is what the audience wants to see in here. All right guys. Eddie, congratulations. Scuba, nice work. And we will talk to you guys soon. Thanks, Bob. I miss you guys. Probably on the post show. Yeah. Something like that.

There he is. Eddie, our champion, the people's champion. He's still there, I guess. All right, Eddie. Bye, buddy. All right. See you, man. There he is. Eddie walked all the way from West Virginia to Tennessee. We have no idea how much money we made. Morgan, any luck? Let me see if it'll pull up. No, it looks like he's going back to Virginia. And he walks back to double. Turn around and go back. You're going the wrong way, Eddie.

Yeah, I don't. We're trying. That's what we have. Justin to Missouri is on the phone. Justin, how are you, bud? Hey, Justin, you there? No luck with Justin Ray. I got him selected.

Yeah. Hey, Justin, you there, bud? All right, we'll let him go. Let's go over and talk to Bill. Bill's been sitting on hold. Appreciate you holding, Bill. What's going on with you? Hey, Bobby. Morning, Studio.

Morning. I just wanted to call and let you guys know. So I'm a daily podcast listener. I've been listening for a long time. But this morning, I had to download the I Heart Radio so I can hear Eddie cross that finish line live. I'm a former foster child myself. And so I just think everything that he's done to raise awareness and raise this money is just awesome. And I want to tell him he's my hero.

Well, we will tell them that. I'm sure I'll talk to him as soon as the show's over today. But that's very nice of you to say. And thanks for listening and thanks for hopping on live, man. That means a lot to me. Yes, sir. Hey, can I give a shout out real quick to my wife and kids? Yeah, go ahead.

Hey, Amber, I love you. Cooper, Mackey. You're too young to hear this. But one day, maybe you'll think I'm a little cool for being on the Bobby Bond show. All right, Bill. Have a great day. Thanks, guys. If you missed it, Eddie did cross the finish line this morning.

It's big. We played, we had the champions. We played carrying your love with me. And I looked around the room and everybody's pretty pumped up, except for lunchbox. He was kind of, this dober was hanging a little bit. His head was, and he admitted to me that what? I was cheering against Eddie this whole time.

I wanted Eddie to fail because I was sick and tired of him getting all this hype for going on a walk and everybody's telling how awesome Eddie is. Eddie's getting all the attention. And I'm like, really, he's just walking, guys, like calm down. So I wanted him to fail so everybody could be like, Eddie's not that cool. Eddie's not that, but he proved me wrong. He did it.

But I wasn't that happy that he did it because I wanted him to fail. Why not let that inspire you to do something big instead of you wanting him to not do something big? Why not instead of tear down, and this is just a general rule, I think, for folks, why not instead of tearing down what we hate? Why not build up what we love or we go do something? That's a good question. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think about that.

I do. I did, I built myself up. Like, I love myself. And I was just like, man, everybody's calling in, oh, go Eddie. I was like, goodness, give me a break. So you would have liked it had he injured his calf and had to pull out. Yeah. But then what about all the money that was raised for national annual? Hey, that's what we, you guys would have to decide what to do with that. That would have been on, hey, he could have gone back when he got healthy or whatever. I don't know what would have happened, but the money still would have gone to the organization, but Eddie wouldn't have finished this walk and everybody would be like, oh, man. Well, what was the hardest, part for you to stomach. Was it him

getting on the news? Ah, him getting on the news and then just every voicemail seems to be allowed, Eddie this, Eddie that. I'm like, hello guys, there's still other people around here. When he finished, was that tough to swallow? Yeah, that's that, yeah, I was so, you know, I saw those cars.

I was like, ooh, maybe there would be just so much traffic and we'll never be able to finish. But there was a break in the traffic and he was able to cross that line. I was like, well, now everybody's going to be, for the next two months, all we're going to hear about, oh, Eddie, what? Oh, gosh, Eddie, Eddie, you're so amazing. It's going to get real annoying, real fast. So I think we should probably limit the phone calls for the, like, we can have them for the next couple days. And then after that,

like after Friday, no more calls about Eddie walking. Like, what if you had done it, though? Oh, calls for days and days and years. Yeah, pat me on the back. Let's go. So no calls after Friday about Eddie's walk raising roughly $200,000. Correct. Correct. Like, there has to be a time limit. Like, we got to quit living in the past. Like, he did it. It's over. But don't you always talk about you being prom king and like no it was almost nonstop yeah that's pretty cool isn't it yeah because that's not a lot of people can't do what i did being prom king a lot people can't do what edie just did a lot of people go for walks every night i see grandma and grandpa in my neighborhood walking every night not a hundred miles i don't know how they're walking they walk they walk every night

well there you go i do you feel better now that you admit i do i feel good now that i can like let that out and everybody knows because i can't be the only one out there that was cheering for eddie to fail. Why would other people do that? I think actually you might be the only one. I don't think so. Was anyone here cheering for Eddie to fail? Ray? Not to fail, but if he would have gotten hit by a car. See? I was not what I'm saying. Hold on. These are his... Well, I don't know what's wrong with these people. Go ahead. You want him to get hit by a car? I wanted him to finish, but going a hundred miles, I could have swore there was going to be some sort of injury that he didn't twist his ankle, that he wouldn't have been able to get out of bed one day. I kind of

wanted something like that and it to be delayed a day. Push back. Our schedule thrown off. Eddie did it according to his plan, which was pretty epic. And he timed it out before he even went. So I got to give him props on that as well. But yes, if he had gotten sideswipe by a Mack truck, that would have been kind of funny. But like, but he's okay, right?

Yeah, he's okay. But I mean, I couldn't finish the walk, man, didn't make it. He got mauled by a bear. Well, lunchbox wanted him to fail. Ray wanted him to get hit by a car. Morgan, anything you want to admit? No. When I did the live with him yesterday, I had tears in my eyes. I was really happy for him. So, no, I don't want him to get hit by a car.

I wanted him to finish. You guys are insane. Yeah. Wanting him to possibly die out there and never come back to the show. No, to clarify, I don't think he wanted him to die. He just wanted him get hit by a car. Just clip. But I'm telling you, you got a good shot of dying if he get hit by a car.

He did it. He finished. Listen on the podcast. How do you feel right now, Amy? I mean, I feel great. I'm super proud of Eddie. I know that all this money is going to make a huge difference. And you know what I was just thinking about our listeners, too?

Like in the past two weeks between Pimp and Joy and building homes for heroes, like building Sergeant Majetic a house, and then Eddie doing this walk for foster care families, like our listeners have showed up in such an enormous way. Like all together, it's what, we'll just call it like $350,000. At minimum. Which is so crazy. Like it's just beyond me, like how our listeners show up for, to help others out.

And that's what it's, that's, to me, that gives our show purpose and meaning. So I am very proud of him and I'm so grateful for our listeners for both campaigns. The, you know, yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, who can say that their listeners have done something like this? Proud of you guys. Yeah. Yeah. You always come through 100%. We love you for it.

We don't ever ask for it for ourselves. But, you know, our goal here as a show is to give back in every way possible. If it's to make you feel better when you drive to work with your friends, which hopefully are us, or if it's to build someone who served us in the military and was injured a house, or if it's to help foster children, or if it's to, you know, on and on, you guys always come through. Always. St. Jude. Yes.

Always. You are the best. I say it over and over again. You are the best. You are the B team. You are just the absolute A plus when it comes to groups. And I'm very proud to walk alongside you guys. Bobby Bone Show.

Bonehead. Norrie of the day. This story comes us from Alberta, Canada. Husband and wife, expecting a child. Let's do a gender. reveal so they get an explosive device, they go out in a field, and they burn over an acre of land. No. Anytime there's fire. It's illegal now. Like gender reveals with explosives needs to be illegal. Oh, I thought you said it was illegal. Yes, I agree. If you can crash or you can boom, you shouldn't have a

gender reveal. Right. It needs to be just more of like a, or a balloon. Yeah. Although there was that one person who had their gender reveal on the balloon and the balloon floated off and they couldn't quite catch it. And it floated off and they fell over the fence, hurt themselves. Yeah, okay. Well then, so yeah. Now we eliminate balloons. Yes, cake and anything that's on the ground. Yeah.

No fire. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Another video of a UFO has surfaced. It's all the time now. Where this time? Well, this time it was taken using an infrared camera on a police helicopter.

The September 2016 video shows an object. not visible to the naked eye, moving at high speeds against the wind. So they're looking at it. They don't know what it is. Police say there is a slight possibility that it was a drone. But since the helicopter couldn't keep up with it, it would have had to be one that you can't buy. Yeah, like super special.

Or some government drone. Yeah, maybe. But then maybe the police would know about it. I'm just saying there's a lot of stuff happening here that we don't understand. Yeah. But I don't think police always know what the government. government is up to you, but... Well, they should.

Yeah. What a show today. We cannot believe it. Thank you guys so much. Eddie completed his walk from West Virginia to Tennessee.

Amy, what's going on today?

I'm interviewing Little Lizzie. You know our friend from Austin. That's her Instagram handle. So she's coming on my podcast. So I'm excited to sit down with her today. What about you? I have a suit fitting. I have a haircut.

Suit fitting for your wedding? Yeah. Okay. I have a dentist appointment at three. It's a pretty crazy day. And I can't do anything after three because I have to go in for some pretty serious dental work. So I can't schedule anything after three. Yeah.

I don't know if it's like HIPAA, but I was there yesterday. He told me you're coming today. Am I supposed to know that? Interesting. You can get on to him for that if not. I think he was just casual. Like, I see Bobby tomorrow. I'm like, okay.

Oh, my doctor's not being casual with people too. Hey, guess who can I? Look at the bumps on his. Well, Dennis is different. Plus, like, I think you needed to get in one day and I helped you get into him. Yeah, but you still shouldn't know that. Yeah, he's a great guy. If you recommended me to a doctor, they couldn't go, well, since you told me.

I already know a mutual doctor we have and he would never tell me. Oh, I hope I just didn't get our dentist in trouble. Yeah, he probably did. All right, there you go. He's being barred right now from whatever that is. See you guys tomorrow. Have a great day. Eddie, congratulations.

We are giving Eddie the day off tomorrow. Obviously, we'll check in with him on the phone though tomorrow to see how he's feeling. Otherwise, we're good. Bye, everybody. Bobby Bones!
