A caller named Brie from North Carolina called into the Bobby Bones Show with a major announcement. She shared that she has decided to donate one of her kidneys to someone in need.
When asked what prompted the decision, Brie said it was partly because Eddie had previously talked about donating a kidney, but ultimately backed out. She explained that she had already been thinking about becoming a donor for about 10 years, and now felt like it was as good a time as any to move forward. The show was surprised, but supportive, joking that while Eddie may not deserve credit, the conversation itself may have created awareness. They asked Brie about the process, and she admitted she doesn’t yet know the details. She plans to begin researching the testing and evaluation steps and said that if she qualifies as a match, she intends to go through with the donation. She also shared that she has already discussed the decision with her husband. Bobby asked Brie to call back and keep them updated on the process, including what testing is like and how everything unfolds.
Eddie told Brie that if she has second thoughts at any point, that would be okay, clarifying that sometimes timing matters. The others joked that he was projecting his own experience onto her. Despite the teasing, he maintained that the act of donating a kidney is a beautiful thing and that simply talking about it raises awareness for people in need. Brie said she often thinks about children who might need a kidney and said that’s a big part of her motivation.
