The Bobby Bones Show visited a previous segment where Eddie had brought attention to a woman who cleans their building and studio.
Although she doesn’t work directly for their company, Eddie had shared that she might need help since she had been dealing with an illness and unable to take off from work, so he asked what they could do to support her. Since then, listeners had been asking for updates, including one caller from England who left a voicemail expressing doubt that anything would actually come from it with Eddie in charge. The caller questioned whether there would be any real help, referencing Eddie’s past efforts and joking about his “year of being taken seriously.”
That skepticism carried into the studio, with Lunchbox admitting he had seen the initial video and thought it was a nice gesture, but hadn’t seen any evidence of follow-through. He pointed out that there was no GoFundMe, no visible support, and questioned whether Eddie had even spoken to the woman again. Eddie gave an update that he followed up with her. He hadn’t seen her for a few days but was able to talk to her recently and gather more information. According to Eddie, she has a doctor’s appointment scheduled for today, and after that visit, she should have a clearer understanding of her medical situation and what kind of help she may need moving forward. He didn’t want to rush into launching something like a GoFundMe without knowing the specifics, such as whether she might need surgery or to see a specialist. Instead, he wanted to wait until there was a clearer picture so they could set a realistic goal and provide the right kind of support.f
Eddie acknowledged that his past reputation might be causing people to doubt him, but reiterated that this situation was more serious and important to him.
