Key Highlights and Discussion Points

1. Blake Shelton Interview: Ranch Life, Vegas, and Career Surprises

• Blake joins remotely from his Oklahoma ranch — The segment is a mix of sincere and quick-witted, with Bobby and Blake swapping jabs about their clothes and backgrounds (47:05-47:30).
• Blake’s ranch logo was designed as a gift by a friend and has stuck ever since.
• Vegas Residency:
  • Shelton is gearing up for more shows at Caesar’s Palace (Jan 15–31). He describes the venue as intimate, building up a unique performer-audience bond.
  • “By the end of the night...I literally recognize people in the audience. It's like you've been singing to them all night.” (48:30, Blake)
  • The Vegas format allows better pay not for higher rates but for cutting out travel costs.
    • “Artists do better in Vegas. It's a fact.” (50:04, Blake)
• New TV Project:
  • Teaming up with Taylor Sheridan for a reality competition called “The Road.” Contestants work to win over live crowds opening for headliners like Keith Urban — a challenge full of tough, real-world road tests.
• Music and Life:
  • Learned guitar from his uncle Darryl in Oklahoma.
  • “I never felt like [Nashville] was home. I just always wanted to be back in Oklahoma.” (53:32, Blake)
  • Despite his success, Blake still mows his own fields: “I thought I would actually contribute around here...with the big tractor out there with a cab, listening to the radio.” (54:07)
• Personal and Career Milestones:
  • “Austin” was career-defining, but “Ol’ Red” is most recognized live.
  • Was talked out of recording “I Wanna Talk About Me” (which became a No.1 for Toby Keith) due to negative focus group testing.
• Notable Quotes:
  • On haircare: “Whatever is available is what I use. I never travel with shampoo.” (55:17)
  • “Do you like the smell of gas?” — “Yeah, I do. It… makes me feel like a man. Like I did something that day.” (56:10)
  • “Stay Country or Die Tryin’” is a musical nod to his Alabama roots.
• Overall tone: Hilariously self-deprecating, blending practical farm wisdom with showbiz stories.

2. Easy Trivia: A Championship Upset

• Amy is sick, Scuba Steve subs in and is immediately eliminated.
• The rest of the crew—Eddie, Morgan, Abby—battle for the title.
• Themed rounds include travel, 2000s TV, answers starting with “I,” and TV family last names.
• Notable brain freezes:
  • Abby blanks on “Tanner” for Full House (07:20).
  • Morgan guesses “Jackson” instead of “Banks” for Fresh Prince.
• Eddie takes the win, becoming new Easy Trivia Champion.
  • “For the dirtiest championship ever… It never has, it never will [wait for anybody].” (09:37, Bones)
  • Playful gloating as he claims Amy’s crown: “I’m about to reach over...and get that crown off her desk.” (08:17)

---

3. Relationship Talk: Would Bobby Let His Wife Propose?

• Listener writes about his girlfriend wanting to propose, but he’s not ready for marriage and also feels uncomfortable being proposed to as the man (10:51).
• Bobby’s advice:
  • Investigate whether she’s really serious—preferably through her friend.
  • If it’s real, push for a pre-proposal “talk about the future” instead of just objecting to her proposing.
  • “I just don’t know that you say anything until you realize it is a real threat to happen.” (13:11)
  • The crew discuss whether they’d be comfortable being proposed to (most think it’d be “weird,” but not necessarily a dealbreaker).
• Broader tangent on when to talk marriage/kids in a relationship.

---

4. Listener Follow-up: Paying Family for Babysitting

• Claudine calls in with an insightful take: in her family, paying grandparents to babysit would feel offensive—a gift exchange and restocking the house is better.
• Bobby’s counter: It's not about “paying” the in-laws; it’s about keeping them happy so they're willing to help again. If someone's asking for money (even after the fact), the relationship—or a return favor—may be at stake.
  • “You can easily get a babysitter. But I guess that’s multiple days staying at the house.” (19:01)
• Quick digression: Bobby asks Claudine about giving birth to triplets and dispels sitcom myths with good humor.

---

5. Lightning Round: Fun Facts

Each crew member shares a fun or weird fact (27:12-31:06):

• Billy Bob Thornton has a phobia of antiques older than 1950 — “You’re a weird dude, Billy Bob.” (27:45, Bobby)
• Fruit Loops: Different colors, same flavor.
• Queen bees: New queens fight to the death to claim the hive.
• Chewing gum: Invented by accident while trying to make rubber from tree sap.
• Sold-out streak: Dayton Dragons, an Ohio minor league baseball team, have sold out over 1,600 games in a row.
• Flat Fact: Florida, not Kansas, is the flattest state.

  • Firefighter neighbor helps deliver a baby in a front yard in Indiana (39:08).

7. Morning Corny Jokes

• “Why did the skunk go to the bank and take out a loan? Because he only had one cent.” (45:36)

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

There's Eddie. There he goes to get the crown. Amy's sick champ is here. But to be fair, she only had two points. She was far behind. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

I probably would have won.

[Bobby Bones]

You probably would have won anyway. All right, there's your champion, Eddie. Anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. I found out some secondhand news about my girlfriend. I'm not sure what to do with it. One of her friends told me she wants to propose to me and she wants to do it soon. I don't know where this is coming from. Not only have we not talked about getting married after eight months of dating, I also don't feel comfortable as the man in the relationship to have her proposed to me. I don't want to break up, but also don't want her clinging to a hope. That really is the furthest thing from my mind. One.

[Blake Shelton]

Getting engaged.

[Bobby Bones]

Two, getting proposed to. What would you do, sign guy that's not ready to be proposed to? Well, that's that. First of all. That's funny. It's two layers, though. It's. One, not wanting to be engaged. That's the bigger one. The novel part is not wanting to get proposed to.

[Eddie]

It's funny because, like, he's a guy, right? And this is what girls go through all the time. So now he's thinking like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. This is different.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think this is what girls go through because girls are wondering if they're going to propose. Not I don't want them to propose because I'm. I have this role in the relationship.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's just the fact that he's like, oh, now he knows and he's not ready and like, he wants to do the proposing. It's just. It's a weird situation.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's tough.

[Eddie]

What are you thinking?

[Bobby Bones]

First of all, it's just weird that she's ready to get married. And she also, this friend may be full of crap too.

[Eddie]

Oh, you think?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It just feels weird. Would you ever want your girl to propose to you? Morgan, Would you ever pose to your boyfriend?

[Morgan]

No, I don't. I don't think so. I don't feel like I would. I don't know. I just naturally have always wanted to be proposed to, so I don't know that I have the desire to take that away from myself.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder why she does. I wonder what. What's in it for her? What she feels. She. Why she feels she needs to do the proposing. Maybe because he's saying he doesn't want to at all. Like, a little bit put him under the gun. But eight months is not that long to go. I'm not ready to get married. I think that's completely suitable to not want to get married after eight months of being together.

[Morgan]

It does alarm me, though, that eight months, they haven't even talked about it. Why are you dating somebody for that long? You haven't even talked about the fact if you want to get married.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's fair.

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't think that's fair?

[Eddie]

No. Eight months, I feel, is like, you're just living life, man. You're dead.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Anytime you're creeping up on a year, I think it's really. Yeah, I think after six months, you can. You don't have to put a date on it, but you should probably start to have those preliminary conversations. That's a long time to spend with somebody if you're not 16, if you're like, 23 plus. Yeah, you probably should start talking about it. And maybe it's, we don't want to get married for years. That's all. That's fine. But I think, yeah, that conversation probably should happen. Let's just do the part where he's worried about her proposing. Okay. I, I'm not sure she really is gonna do it. That would be crazy if all of a sudden you're at Outback and she gets down on a knee.

[Eddie]

That'd be weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be so weird. I would think it was a joke. If my wife had done that to me, I'd have been like, stop. What?

[Eddie]

You're funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Is somebody recording me? I would have thought that was a joke. I just don't know that you say anything about it until you. Until you realize it is a real threat to happen. That's like a threat. So I wouldn't say anything except I would ask this friend of hers, like, how serious is it? And then if it is super serious, I wouldn't say, I don't want her proposing to me. I would say, hey, I think we should have the conversation first about our future before she starts thinking about posing. Like, float that over to her.

[Eddie]

All through the friend, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would use that friend, especially because this is who you're learning it from. I would use that friend as the person to get information to her without it coming specifically from you to her. And if that doesn't work, then I think you just gotta grab the bull by the horns and be like, look, while you're having the blooming onion, don't propose right now.

[Eddie]

Look, I heard that you were thinking about this like this.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a reason to have the conversation and go, hey, at some point, we do. I do want to get married. And at some point, I can't wait to propose to you, man.

[Eddie]

This is tricky.

[Bobby Bones]

It is tricky. Would you. Okay, so I, I. If my wife proposed to me, I wouldn't hate it, but it would Be weird. Like, I wouldn't be like, I'm so against it, but it would be weird. And I may have a little issue initially with it, but then I would think it was novel, but it would be weird. What would you think if your wife did that? Get.

[Eddie]

Get up. What are you. What are you doing? No, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there any way you'd say yes?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, like, I would have said yes had my wife proposed to me.

[Eddie]

I would have said yes, putting myself in the situation that I was with my wife, you know, where we were dating, like, six years, and then she was like, you hadn't even talked about marriage. No, no, dude, it wasn't even.

[Bobby Bones]

You just living life.

[Eddie]

So if she would have proposed to me, then I would have been like, whoa, get off. What are you doing? You're embarrassing us.

[Bobby Bones]

So you wouldn't have said yes? No.

[Eddie]

But if I would have wanted to get married and we had already talked about and thought about and then she proposed, I'd say yes to that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if my wife had proposed to me, she would have got on a knee, proposed. I'd have jumped down on a knee to him and like, oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[Eddie]

Like, you do it first. What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, like, no, no, no, no. I'm. I'm also doing it. We're even here.

[Eddie]

Got you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think you use that friend to get information back to her that you should have a talk about marriage first. That's what I think. That's a weird one, though.

[Eddie]

It's a very weird one.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, what's up with you guys in your relationship? You guys talk about it?

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. I mean, that's. At this point in my life, that's something. That's definitely a conversation pretty early on.

[Bobby Bones]

But what's the conversation? Do you want to get married?

[Morgan]

It's like, yeah. Do you want to be married? Do you want to have kids? What's your. Like, what's your lifestyle? You're asking all those questions at the very beginning, and then, yeah, I mean, definitely, we've now had the conversation about us and, like, that we could see that happening for both of us together.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Eddie]

How truthful. Do you have to answer those questions?

[Bobby Bones]

Not at all.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's what I thought.

[Morgan]

You don't have to, but you should.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't close any doors with the answers. But you could leave them o. You could leave them open with things. You don't know if they're true or not.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yet.

[Eddie]

Yeah, well, because, like, the question is, do you want to have kids?

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. Yeah, I did that. Sure. Yeah.

[Eddie]

But, like, do you really want.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to have kids? I was like, yeah, of course. Who does. Who would say no to that? Because you're cutting off your options.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you figure out later if you really do. Like, we don't have kids yet, and I think we will at some point, but it's like when my. Do you have kids? Of course.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because if I say no, there's a chance she doesn't like me anymore.

[Eddie]

Right. So you got to say yes to these things.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, good luck with that, buddy. Hey, let us know how that goes. But I would get it back to her through her friend, but not from you. That's what I would do. All right, close it up. Yesterday's show, Lunchbox told us his in laws were in town. They watched his kids for days while Lunchbox and his wife went on vacation. And then after they left and flew back home, Lunchbox's wife was like, hey, we should pay them $500. And so that was a whole dramatic bit on the show yesterday, but people are still calling about it. Hey, Claudine, thank you for calling the show. What's going on?

[Caller Claudine]

Hi. So, yeah, normally Bobby's advice is always. Your advice is always spot on. And 99.9% of the time, Lunchboxers worldview is just rock.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. So give me all your opinion. I want to hear about it. Okay.

[Caller Claudine]

Well, I have triplets. And, you know, the family was always really willing to help, but we live far away. I'm in Northern California. They're in Southern California. But both my parents and my parents in law were retired, and they would come up for. They wanted to see the kids. So the thing is that in my family, in the culture of family is this was a gift. It was a gift to. For them giving us to come up if we needed to go away for a little bit or whatever. And they would have been so offended if we had offered to pay for them for their time or whatever. Now if you. You make sure. You make sure you pay all the groceries, stock fully up, have everything you need. If you have cats, dogs, whatever, you have everything. They don't have to go to the grocery store. You could even leave money to go to the grocery store or to go out to dinner or something to. But you don't say, here, thanks for taking care of the kids. Have some money like we're paying you like your babysitters, because that would. They would have been offended.

[Bobby Bones]

I completely understand. I think that situation is perfect for you. My only point was with this situation with Lunchbox and his in laws was that the wife is asking him if they should pay her parents. And also it had to be discussed by somebody other than Lunchbox that they spent a bunch of money to fly across the country watch the kids. And it was weird they didn't talk about it beforehand. But if you want them to fly across the country again to take care of the kids for an extended period of time, you want to make sure that all their me, their needs and demands are met. So it's weird and I think they should have said it beforehand. But if it's actually being brought up, I think you need to do it if you plan to use them in the same capacity later because they may not be so available later. If you're not helping them and giving them what their needs and demands are. You can easily get a babysitter. But I guess that's multiple days staying at the house.

[Eddie]

Oh, a week is tough.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's not about paying them for their the work they did. It's about keeping them happy. So they'll come and do it again for another week if you decide to leave. Because that's their ask. If their ask was like seven Craig Bizio signed rookie cards and not 500 bucks, you get them that it doesn't matter what their ask is, it just so happen to be money. So. Claudia, I completely understand what you're saying, but my point to Lunchbox was you don't have to pay it. They didn't ask for it until now. But if you don't, they may not be so available next time if you want them for a next time.

[Caller Claudine]

Yeah, that's true. If they were asking when I was listening to the, to the segment, I thought they were, that this was just an idea that popped into her head like, you know what, we should pay them.

[Bobby Bones]

Might have been Lunchbox late, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't know. I know my wife, my wife is the one, my wife is the one that took them to the airport. And when she got back that night as we were about to brush teeth, that's when she brought it up. So I don't know if my in laws said something on the way to the airport. Something popped in my wife's head all of a sudden when she was driving to the airport. I don't know, but I was just like, man, that seems like a weird thing to do. You should love your grandkids.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they do love their grandkids. It does seem like a weird Time right after the airport. Because the conversation had to be had. Maybe your wife just heard them say, yeah, it was pretty expensive for us to come and just wants to help them.

[Lunchbox]

That could be it. I'm not sure how it all went down, but it was just something transpired from our house to the airport in that little, you know, 20 minute ride. So I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Claudia, can I ask you about triplets? Do you care if I ask about that?

[Caller Claudine]

Oh, sure, go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

That hurt.

[Caller Claudine]

Yeah, I was a cesarean. They make you, they, they make you do a cesarean to, to have them if. Because it's endangers the children if you tried to do it again.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I didn't, I didn't know that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, in a row would be tough.

[Caller Claudine]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I've just seen like, go ahead. It still hurts now.

[Caller Claudine]

They were, they're in college, so it's a different kind of thing.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

I just like on TV shows so many times they're like, it's a boy. And they're like, wait a minute, there's. Oh, my God, there's another one. It's a girl. And they cut, they're like, oh, it's twins. And they cut back to the room. You're like, oh, my God, there's another one. It's another girl. So my view of that is from like sitcoms where they're hiding behind them and you didn't see them and all of a sudden there's three coming out the natural way. So that's not really what happens.

[Caller Claudine]

No, no, we knew they were coming. We knew pretty early on.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I appreciate you listening and thank you for calling and you brought up great points and I agree with what you said. I think the specific situation is a bit different. But yeah, congratulations on those college, those college triplets. And thanks for listening, Claudine.

[Caller Claudine]

All right. Thank you for what you do.

[Bobby Bones]

Time for the good news with Bobby Bad driving in Baton Rouge. She was with the three kids and the tire blew and busy stretch the road so she pulls over to the side. She's on the shoulder but cars are kind of flying by and this guy stops to help and so kind of big dude, it's like hey, I got you to Marcus Cooley, safety, lsu. Hey, football team. Football player. Yeah. He explained that he'd been on the phone with his mom and he saw the family on the side of the road. Also a big dude who could help. And so he quickly changed the Tire did it himself. Made sure the mom, the kids could continue safely. She shared photos. It wasn't like I'm the safety for lsu, but people. People realized who it was. She said that to Marcus, told her he didn't expect it to go viral and he only stopped out of concern. But it did. And so look, it doesn't make me root for lsu, but I don't root against the secondary so much. You know what I mean?

[Eddie]

Yeah. That defense is going to be good to Mark Cooley.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job, buddy. Thanks for helping out. That's a good story from wafb. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. What's the most interesting fact you have? Let's go around the room. I'll start with this. Billy Bob Thornton has a phobia of antiques and refuses to stay in the same room that has furniture earlier than 1950 in the room. You're a weird dude, Billy Bob. From another. From another weird dude. You're a weird dude, Billy Bob.

[Eddie]

Both. Both Arkansan.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true.

[Eddie]

You and Billy Bob.

[Bobby Bones]

Uh huh.

[Eddie]

Remember that Sling Blade?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Eddie.

[Eddie]

So what's your favorite fruit loop flavor?

[Bobby Bones]

Red. My favorite flavor of all things is red. It doesn't matter the fruit.

[Eddie]

So when you eat Fruit Loops, you like the red one?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they all taste the same. But I think. Because I think they're just color. But I like red. It makes me feel better.

[Eddie]

Well, that's my fun fact. They are not different flavors as most people would think. No, they are one flavor. They're just different colors.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think with cereal, I would have imagined that. That's a lot of little flavorings to put in every little circle.

[Eddie]

Too much work.

[Bobby Bones]

But I do like eating the red ones the most. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

When a queen bee dies, they got to get a new queen, right? So they hatch a bunch of little ones and then they all fight and the whoever survives is the new queen.

[Eddie]

That's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a UFC tournament.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they just sting each other. They start stinging. Bam, bam, bam, bam.

[Bobby Bones]

Do they fight to the death or do they like, tap out? Do you know? Are you sure? Are you just saying that?

[Lunchbox]

No, it does. It says when they fight each other, the winner succeeds by sting all of her rivals to death.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Eddie]

And I wonder if the queen's a female.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Queen.

[Eddie]

Okay. I don't know. Don't know how these bees.

[Bobby Bones]

Never seen a queen bee with a wiener in all my times. Never. Morgan.

[Morgan]

So in the 1800s, a man named Thomas Adams was really fascinated by how Native Americans chewed tree SAP for fun and to brush their teeth. So he tried to turn that SAP into a new kind of rubber, but he ended up with this strange chewy substance instead. Well, he thought people might like it, started selling it. That's how we got chewing gum.

[Bobby Bones]

Weird. You took us to a good place too. Yeah, like, I wondered where it was going.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it could have gone Jurassic Park.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one. That's a good one. The longest streak of sold out games in sports is for a minor league baseball team in Ohio called the Dayton Dragons. They've sold out every game for the past 25 years, which is a total of more than 1,612games in a row.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

It's got to be a lot of people just buying tickets and not going though. It's got to be because that counts. Even if you have a season ticket, that counts as someone buying a ticket. Even if they don't show up.

[Eddie]

That makes sense, but that's pretty crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

We gotta send Morgan to Ohio. We're gonna do a day trip. Mike, do we ever look and see what flights were? Depends when you want to send her. Well, not right now, but like, what's. How cheap can I go?

[Eddie]

Like, I mean, if you plan ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Well, I don't want to consider like December. I'm talking about like the next couple to few weeks. Probably 150, 200 bucks if total weeks. No one way. Oh, well, she has to come back. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

We're not going to leave her there.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yeah. Okay. Let's look and find it. Because I want to plan this. Because if not, it'll be like our other segments we never get to. And like seven months later, a caller reminds us on voicemail. You guys never did this.

[Eddie]

Where she go in Cleveland.

[Bobby Bones]

Cleveland.

[Lunchbox]

Can I tell you? It's going to be tough though. She's only going to be able to be in the city for like four hours.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a day trip.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I mean, I don't know what you're able to do in four hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Why only that amount of time?

[Lunchbox]

Because that's when the flights, like if you're going to leave the earliest in the morning and like be able to get back that night.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you look all airlines?

[Lunchbox]

I did Google flights and I typed it in and it was like you would leave it like 8 in the morning, get there at like noon, and then you'd have to be back on a plane at 6.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a 5am flight.

[Eddie]

There goes your Google search.

[Lunchbox]

I'm just telling you what.

[Morgan]

Let me do some research. I'll look into some things and let me do some research.

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably better. And then finally, Florida is the flattest state in the United States. Flat?

[Eddie]

Oh, I guess. Yeah. It's surrounded by water.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you think would be the Flat estate?

[Eddie]

I mean, I really had never thought about that, ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Kansas has the reputation for being the flat estate, but it came in seven. Fun fact, right? We're going to play the Bobby Feud. Now, rarely do we have two big games in the show, but I want to give this caller Tabitha another chance to win some shoes for her husband because her husband's birthday is coming up. So here's the voicemail.

[Caller Claudine]

My husband's birthday is coming up, end of August, and I was wondering if there was a chance I might be able to play a game to maybe win a pair of Bobby's shoes.

[Bobby Bones]

So instead of that, I'm gonna buy him new shoes. If she wins, this is her second game. If she doesn't win this one, though, she's out. Okay, Tabitha, welcome back to the show.

[Caller Claudine]

Good morning, Bobby. I'm glad to be here.

[Bobby Bones]

There she is. Everybody back. We're breaking a lot of rules today. Now we're gonna play the Bobby Feud and Lunchbox. Morgan and Eddie are going to play the Feud. The question is top 10 TV couples of all time. Now what you're gonna do, Tabitha, is pick the winner. Who has the most points at the end. Is it Lunchbox? Who will go first, Morgan or Eddie?

[Caller Claudine]

I am going to go with Lunchbox.

[Bobby Bones]

He does go first. Slide advantage. And pretty good at TV stuff. Pretty good. I don't know. There's a clear favorite in this one.

[Eddie]

Tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Top 10 TV couples of all time. Tabitha is playing for shoes. Lunchbox. Tabitha is your partner. Go ahead. You're up first.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man. Come on. Hey, Tabitha, your husband is getting shoes because you know who would get shoes?

[Bobby Bones]

Ross.

[Lunchbox]

When Rachel buys them for him. Ross and Rachel, great couple from Friends.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Ross and Rachel. Number one answer. Have you a point? Yeah. All right.

[Eddie]

What else you got?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, don't you worry about what I got, man. I got something that's gonna blow your mind. I mean, this is such a good cup.

[Bobby Bones]

What's your answer?

[Lunchbox]

Cory and Topanga.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Corey and Topanga. Good job. Good job. Good job. Number six answer.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I think his name.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, get it.

[Lunchbox]

This is where you get in trouble is you don't know their names.

[Bobby Bones]

Eat it up.

[Lunchbox]

I'm gonna go the. The Tim the Tool Man Taylor. And his wife.

[Eddie]

Can you do it without the name? Kind of needs the name, huh?

[Bobby Bones]

You can try Tim the Tool Man Taylor and his wife. All right, you do have seven points, though. Strong first round for you. Morgan, over to you.

[Morgan]

I'm gonna go with Jim and Pam from the office.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Jim and Pam. Two points. Number two answer.

[Morgan]

Okay. I was on the same level of Lunchbox and Friends, but I was going Monica and Chandler.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your answer? Yeah. Show me Monica and Chandler. Number four answer.

[Blake Shelton]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Morgan]

But now this is where I start to struggle because I also did a similar thing to Lunchbox and I couldn't remember the wife's name. But it's the Taylors. Coach Taylor and his wife. Friday Night Lights.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's see if that's on here. Coach Taylor and his wife. Everybody loves the Taylors. All right, three. One round. Lunchbox. Seven. Morgan, six. Eddie.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna go. Hank and Peggy Hill from King of the Hill.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Hank and Peggy Hill. Kind of a punt. Hey, no points.

[Eddie]

Kind of a punt.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Points are not doubled. They're three rounds total. Lunchbox, you have the lead right now at 7. What do you got?

[Lunchbox]

Ricky and Lucy. I love Lucy.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Lucy and Ricky.

[Eddie]

Wow, Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

That was awesome, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Not awesome enough.

[Eddie]

Not on there, Morgan.

[Morgan]

I'm really struggling to come up with their, like, first names, but it's the. The Banks and stuff. Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Mom and dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me mom and dad from Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

[Amy Brown]

I can't come up with their.

[Morgan]

Their first names.

[Bobby Bones]

Who else is there? We have only four off the board. Ross and Rachel at one. Jim and Pam from the Office at two. Monica and Chandler, friends at four. And Cory and Topanga at six. Lunchbox, the lead right now. Seven points, Eddie.

[Eddie]

All right, let me get some points. Give me Zach and Kelly. Saved by the bell.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, good one.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Zach and Kelly. Number three answer worth six points.

[Lunchbox]

Good, dude.

[Eddie]

One more, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Give me Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow.

[Bobby Bones]

Steve and Laura.

[Eddie]

Dang it.

[Bobby Bones]

Family Matters. That is incorrect. The Lunchbox has the lead right now going into round three, where points are tripled. Half the answers are off the board but half are still sitting there ready to be scooped up. Lunchbox's head is in his hand. He's struggling. His face is a little red because.

[Lunchbox]

It'S a great TV couple. But, man, outside of tv, I don't know if we like this guy anymore, guys. Do I really pick him?

[Eddie]

Yeah, do it.

[Lunchbox]

Go. Give me Dan and Roseanne.

[Bobby Bones]

Dan And Roseanne. The Connors from Roseanne. We don't like the guy anymore.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I, I, I pivoted mid talk.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. I would say I like them a lot, actually.

[Eddie]

Wrong with them.

[Lunchbox]

I pivoted.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Morgan, you need a point, or Lunchbox is going to stay in the lead.

[Morgan]

Yeah. This is one of my favorite couples. I'm hoping it made the list. It's Lorelei and Luke from Gilmore Girls.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope, didn't make it. We didn't even go to the board there.

[Morgan]

Don't watch Gilmore Girls.

[Bobby Bones]

That's correct. Didn't make the list.

[Lunchbox]

Eddie, Eddie, this is you, man.

[Bobby Bones]

If you hit this, you win.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you can also talk it out.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

You can also talk it out. We never throw games for listeners, though. There's integrity.

[Eddie]

We do not do that. I just, I don't have anything like. What I do have are the names of some of the ones they missed. So I don't know if lunchbox saying Tim and his wife the Toolmate.

[Bobby Bones]

You can say whatever you want now because they can't play. So you can talk it out completely.

[Eddie]

So I know her name is Jill. Okay, so I can go. Tim the Tool Man Taylor and his wife Jill. They were a sweet couple.

[Bobby Bones]

I see what you're saying.

[Eddie]

And he got it wrong. But I don't know if he got it wrong because that just didn't. Wasn't even there.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have anybody else on your list?

[Eddie]

I have no one else on my list.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well, then your answer has to be that one. Unless you have anybody else.

[Eddie]

Give me Tim the Tool Man Taylor and his wife Jill.

[Bobby Bones]

Tim and Jill Taylor. Yes. Yes. No. Guys, that was a poor outing.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that was rough.

[Lunchbox]

Can we make some guesses now?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Margin.

[Bobby Bones]

Homer, hit it. That was your number five answer.

[Eddie]

Oh, great.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

And then Dylan and Kelly.

[Bobby Bones]

That on there. Margin homer, though. Anybody else solid. Any Chad Michael Murray or anything?

[Morgan]

I clearly watched a lot of different.

[Amy Brown]

TV than you guys. It's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You had Eric and Donna from that 70s show. Meredith and Derek from Grey's Anatomy.

[Morgan]

I had that, but I didn't know their names.

[Bobby Bones]

I just had McDreamy, Claire and Phil Dunphy from Modern Family and Carrie and Mr. Big from Sex and the City.

[Morgan]

Oh, how did I miss that?

[Bobby Bones]

Those are your top now. That means Tabitha did win. Now, Tabitha, I did it for you.

[Eddie]

I told you I would.

[Bobby Bones]

I told you you made. Oh, my gosh.

[Lunchbox]

You had to wait longer than you expected. But that's what I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Awesome, Tabitha. Thank you for being on the show. Glad we could give you a second chance to win that and I hope you have a great day. I hope your husband has a great birthday.

[Caller Claudine]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you so much.

[Caller Claudine]

Good job, Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

You're welcome.

[Bobby Bones]

It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

Jasmine Mix of Indiana was visiting her parents, drove over, hanging out, and she's like, man, I'm kind of having contractions. I think we might need to go to the hospital. This baby may be coming. So. And her husband walk out of the car and she's like, guys, we're not going to make to the hospital. So she lays down in the front yard like, guys, this baby's coming. And what do they do? Run next door Because a firefighter lives next door, said, nathan, Nathan, we need your help. My daughter's having a baby in the front yard. So Nathan runs over there, then here come all the neighbors and they come out in the front yard and watch her give birth.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a blog party.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no, it really was. And they had a baby girl right there in the front yard.

[Bobby Bones]

Yard. The front yard.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's. I mean, yeah, they couldn't move in the house, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Shout out, Nathan.

[Lunchbox]

No, you don't want to move in the house. It's nasty, man. All that stuff that comes out, leave.

[Eddie]

Hey, it's Amy Brown with the Bobby Bones Show. All right. In our house, a top pick for back to school lunches is Boar's Head. It makes packing lunch so easy because my kids don't complain and their lunch boxes come home empty, which is huge. We're big fans of the maple honey ham. They love that it's got the perfect hint of sweetness. My fridge is never without it. And their American cheese. It's a great combo. On some days though, we keep it simple with a sandwich and other days we may mix it up, throw in some oven gold turkey or ever roast chicken for wraps or snack boxes. However I use it, Boar's Head just tastes better. Boar's Head has been dedicated to crafting premium deli meats and cheeses for more than 120 years. Premium whole cuts of beef, pork and poultry salad spices sourced from around the globe. Boar's Head uses only the finest ingredients and time honored recipes, preparing every product with the utmost care. So if you want to level up your deli game this school year, check out the Boar's Head counter at your local deli. You'll taste the craftsmanship in every bite. Boar's Head committed to craft since 1905.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's not here. I will start. Why did the skunk go to the bank and take out a loan?

[Eddie]

Why did the skunk go to the bank and take out a loan?

[Bobby Bones]

Because he only had one cent.

[Eddie]

Got it. Got it. I had to think about that one for a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay, good. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't love it.

[Blake Shelton]

You didn't love it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's okay. It's okay. Can't hit home run every time, Eddie.

[Eddie]

I was going to tell you guys a time traveling joke, but y' all didn't like it.

[Blake Shelton]

Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one.

[Morgan]

Morgan, how do you organize a space party?

[BetterHelp Representative]

How you plan it.

[Bobby Bones]

Plan it.

[Eddie]

That's pretty good. I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Why did the cop Sit on the toilet.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

To do his duty. That's funny. That's funny.

[Eddie]

Pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

What's a balloon's least favorite genre of music?

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Pop.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Eddie]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Raymondo hit that. That was the morning corny on the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Blake Shelton. Blake. What's up, buddy? Hey, Bobby. I don't know why.

[Blake Shelton]

That's just funny. I don't know why.

[Bobby Bones]

I just feel like there's always something, like he's ready to pounce on me with something.

[Blake Shelton]

That's not true. I'm beyond that phase of my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't believe it. Hey, how many of those animals behind you did you kill?

[Blake Shelton]

I bought all of these at Cracker Barrel. They were having a little clearance. Look at our clothes. I know that this is on the radio, but for the people at home, we both have our own patches.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What's your patch? Mine's a Chicago Cubs patch, though. What's your patch?

[Blake Shelton]

I've got my ranch logo I thought I'd match for the interview today. I got my cap and then the patch on my shirt. Looks like I work here, don't I?

[Bobby Bones]

What's the deal with the logo? Did you have somebody come in and design that for you or. Where did that logo come from, man?

[Blake Shelton]

I got a friend that used to do merchandise for me named Joe Borsky. He lives there in Nashville. And one year, just as a gift, he made me a box of caps and had somebody draw up this logo, and I loved it so much. That was, like 15 years ago, I think, and I just kept it. And now it's like, look behind me here on the wall. It's everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

I want to talk about your Vegas residency. What are you going to do there?

[Blake Shelton]

I'm going to sing.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, what's your thing? Like, what's your thing gonna be? Like? Because these Vegas residency shows are awesome because it's in a. It's. I wouldn't say a small. But it's intimate because you're right on the stage. Like these. These places are built for amazing, really personal shows. So what. What are you going to do at yours?

[Blake Shelton]

Well, you know, we did it earlier this. This year, pretty much last year, but I think it was February and March. We did a short residency at the. At the Coliseum there at Caesars, and. And. Which is where we're going to be doing it again. And it's funny because when I signed on to do it, something in my brain, my mind was like, wow, the Coliseum. Like, it's going to be huge. You know, it sounds so big. I'd never been there before and. And then what? You know, then I found out later it, you know, it's like you just said, it's a smaller theater. I don't know how many exactly. It holds maybe three or four thousand people. I really don't even know. But I, I loved it for that reason because it is more of an intimate performance. By the end of the night, I mean, I literally recognize people in the audience. It's like you've been singing to them all night. You know, who's. Which couple's in a fight and who's already drunk and like you're. You're that close to them and, and a lot of actual conversations and things, you know, end up happening from, from the stage, which you can never do, you know, in an arena or, you know, at a festival or something. So for that reason, it's been one of my favorite experiences as a. As an entertainer that I've had in a long time, you know, since back in the day of playing like a, you know, a small acoustic show or something where you're really that intimate and you can tell stories and people listen and respond. It's pretty cool.

[Bobby Bones]

So the pre sale is starting today. Eight shows from January 15th to the 31st. It's a second Las Vegas residency. So starting at 10:00am Pacific time today, if you go to Ticketmaster.com Blake Shelton Vegas now, these Vegas residencies, like, that's quite the paycheck, right?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, they're pretty good. I mean, just to be totally honest with you, and here's why, Bobby. It's not that you get. Get paid, you know, way more than you would, you know, for whatever else you do, but the fact that you're. That's home base and you're not loading up, you know, 15 trucks every night and going to the next town and buying airplane tickets and hotels, the whole thing, you know, the fact that you can just set up and play at one place over and over again, you know, artists do better in Vegas. It's a, you know, it's a fact.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did two nights.

[Blake Shelton]

I know you're trying to stir up.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not. I did two nights at the Wind doing stand up and it was. The pay was like two and a half times what I normally make.

[Blake Shelton]

I was just like, was it. Was it that or was it. Well, you don't. You probably when you come in, are you doing stand up? So you're not bringing no overhead. So much production.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it wasn't. Wasn't boring. I mean, your answer was kind of boring, but the question wasn't meant to be boring. So, yeah, talk. This TV show you're doing, like, what is it? The road? You go out and this is with Taylor Sheridan, who did all the shows that we watch. He's got a hundred shows now. So this is like life on the road, that type of thing in a competition series where artists try to make it.

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, you know, it's more about trying to capture the audience in a live performance setting at a place where they have no idea who you are, they've never seen you before, and they're there to see Keith Urban every single night. And they don't know who these artists are that are opening for Keith. And it's the job of these artists to try to capture the attention of these crowds and win the night. People that are there in the building, in the moment are the ones that are voting on this competition. And every night is a different venue somewhere across the U.S. and, man, it was. It was so fun to film. We've already filmed the entire season, and it was a blast. I think it was a lot harder than. Than any of us thought it would be on. On the artists, because they're all developed artists. I mean, they're. They're people with experience and. And that play on the road some, but they're just not necessarily big names, you know, And. And when you. When you roll into a town and you. And you send out a, you know, a social media message that says, come out and see Keith Urban tonight for free at this bar, you know, you can hear tires squealing before you lay your phone down. You know, people lining up, and when they get there, they don't realize they're going to have to sit through, you know, 12 acts before Keith gets on stage, you know, and that's a tough situation to put them in. So it was a lot of fun to see how they handled.

[Bobby Bones]

Who taught you how to play guitar?

[Blake Shelton]

My uncle Daryl up in Ada, Oklahoma. He's. He's still there today, kicking around. I've got that very first guitar that he taught me to. To play guitar on snow Aria. And I still have it. Have it now. He.

[Bobby Bones]

He.

[Blake Shelton]

He was a guy. He knew, like, probably, you know, seven or eight chords, like all the, you know, the common ones that you'd play in country music. He taught me what he knew, and then I kind of took it from there. I didn't take it very much further from there a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you Think had you not gone and been on the Voice, you would still be here in Nashville living full time?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I had. I had moved to Oklahoma before that. I moved to Oklahoma in 2006, and the Voice came along in 2011, I think. Yeah, I. I lived in Nashville for 12 years, and I just never. I never felt like it was home. I just always wanted to be back in Oklahoma. So I think at the time that I moved back to Oklahoma, I'd had four or five hits, you know, enough that I felt like I had my foot in the door and I could get away with not living there, you.

[Bobby Bones]

Know, what do you do every day?

[Blake Shelton]

Just now I was mowing, believe it or not, which is. That's why I have on the work shirt. Just getting ready for, you know, fall coming in, a lot of brush hogging and things like that. The ranch is starting to look a little raggedy, so I thought I would mow today.

[Bobby Bones]

You're still mowing. You're not like the foreman. You're actually on it.

[Blake Shelton]

Trust me. There's plenty of times where I'll go, hey, go out there and mow that. But today I just thought, man, I need to actually contribute around here. So I was actually out there doing it. It's. It's not like I was mowing on, like, a push mower or something. I had the. The big tractor out there with a cab and listening to the radio and stuff. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, a couple questions, and this one is meant with full sincerity. Do you. No, I just. Because I know you're gonna think I'm up to something. I'm not, but. Okay. Do you have a skin care routine? Do you take care of your skin?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I don't. In fact, I probably should at my age, but I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

What about. Really?

[Blake Shelton]

All I have to say about what.

[Bobby Bones]

About when you, like. Like when you wash your hair, do you have, like, the dual body wash hair wash, or do you have specific, like, fancy hair products?

[Blake Shelton]

No, I don't have fancy hair products at all. I think, you know, whatever is available is what I use. Like, I never travel with, like, shampoo because I know there's going to be some hotel brand in the hotel, and that's totally fine with me. I tell you what I do like to do once in a while is I'll get on Amazon or whatever and order a bottle of, like, you know, like Dinner X or Selson Blue, whatever they. They make, because I love that tingly feeling on my head. You ever. You ever use any of that stuff?

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Selson Blue I haven't even thought about in 15 years. So you've, like, reintroduced me to what?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, yeah, if you could. That's because it's probably got stuff in it you should never. Yeah, I don't know that I shouldn't say that. But it tingles. The tingle is hard.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you like the tingle? Do you like the smell of gas?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, I do. It does not bother me if gas gets on me when I'm at the gas station or whatever, you know, I feel like it's like. Makes me feel like a man. Like I did something that day, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Let me give you a couple generic music questions that I think our audience would be really curious to know. What song do you feel like was most instrumental in your success?

[Blake Shelton]

I would have to say Austin, just only because was my first single and it was a big record for me, and I think was. It kept me hanging around. Even times when I, you know, would have singles come out and not do well. It was still. I was still getting a lot of work and stuff because I was the guy that sang Austin. But I also think that O Red has been very important. I mean, I have a, you know, a bar and grill chain now because of oh, Red. And. And it's definitely a fan favorite. But Austin, I. I think I would.

[Bobby Bones]

Have to say, what song, when you perform live, does the audience know from the first couple of notes and go crazy?

[Blake Shelton]

Oh, Red. It's just got. I don't know what it is about that intro, but they're. They. They're ready for it and they recognize it.

[Bobby Bones]

Which of your number one songs were you most reluctant to put out? And you were proven wrong.

[Blake Shelton]

There's a song called who Are you When I'm Not Looking that I was very nervous about. It was such a soft ballad that I was just afraid, you know, I was gonna lose my momentum. And I loved the song. I just wasn't sure if it would be a hit or not.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it true in 2001 you were gonna release I Wanna Talk About Me and Toby ended up getting it.

[Blake Shelton]

I had recorded the song was written from. Bobby Braddock wrote the song for me because I used to go into the studio when we were working on my first album, and I would always have these stupid raps that I would, you know, make up about whatever that day. And Bobby said, oh, you want to, you know, you want to sing a rap song? I wrote you a rap. And so we recorded the song, and it was going to be on my album. And at the time, it was I was on giant records and. And they did some of those focus group testing things. You know about that stuff, Bobby. And it was like they wanted to play like four or five songs for these groups. And. And the testing came back that on I want to talk about me, it was so terrible that they said not only do we not want this to be a single, but we don't even think you should put it on your album. It's that horrifying of a song. And then of course, you know, Toby recorded it and I think had a two month number one record on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Final question.

[Blake Shelton]

Really nail.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. They suck, Bobby. They suck. Yeah. Especially if it's anything different. It's almost like I think it was Henry ford was like if you ask people, they would just say they wanted a faster horse instead of the car. And that's a bit of what I feel about focus groups. Like they're only answering questions based on what they already know, not on what.

[Blake Shelton]

That's exactly it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Blake Shelton]

They like what they know. They don't know what they like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay. Tell me about state country or die trying.

[Eddie]

I've got this thing where I. I.

[Blake Shelton]

Can'T get past some of those old alabama records. And. And I'm. And I'm quite a bit of a. Of a copycat sometimes when I make my records because I. I always want to end up putting something on my records that's like something my heroes did, you know, And. And for me, that always goes back to maybe, you know, Travis tritt or alabama or earl thomas connolly or mark carley, some of these people. And I come up with these records that I think, oh, they would have done that and stay country or die trying is. Is a little. Little bit of that. Especially the. The intro of the song is. Is I always think, you know, I imagine that I was in alabama when that song comes on.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

[Blake Shelton]

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby bone show bonehead Glory of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from redmond, washington. A man was having some car trouble so he took it into Luke's Automotive, dropped it off. They said, hey, we'll get to it tomorrow. Don't worry about it. Locked it up in the garage. And he got home. He's like, man, where's my cell phone? I must have left my cell phone in the car. So he goes back to the business, but they're closed. So he gets a rock and smashes the front door of the business to get in.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I get it. You need your phone. Yeah, I mean, I get it. I do get it. But it's just when you have to destroy something to get there, you're gonna get in trouble. I think you just make a bunch of calls and then also go, I left. Oh, yeah, that sucks. But you can't do that. You can't. Okay, but I get it. Like, I get it. I just want everybody to know. Like, this one I get. I understand. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you watch the video? The. I think it was Southwest Airlines. And the woman goes up and freaks out, slams the guy's computer. No, I can't stop watching these. And you know why? I think I know why. Because these and the golf course fights, I never feel like people have guns.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you don't take a gun to a golf course.

[Blake Shelton]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

You don't take a gun to an airport. You can't. You don't take a gun to a golf course. That's why when they start fist fighting each other, I'm never like, oh, God, this. Somebody's gonna die.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but they have clubs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you're not gonna die, because everybody has clubs. Everybody's equally weaponed out. But Orlando International Airport, a woman caused chaos at a Southwest Airlines gate. She failed to secure a standby seat the first time, then the second time, then the third flight, and then she verbally attacked an agent. She was saying bad words to him, calling him names. What was funny was his reaction to it, because you see it from the cell phone of somebody that's sitting back behind it, and she's just giving him the business, and he's doing the best job he can. He's like, it's also. It's not his fault. She got three flights in a row. She didn't make it flying standby because standby opens up if there are.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it didn't open. She didn't get it. And she starts to, like, slam his computer. And then he just was like, I'm out of here, man. Just walks off. Walks, like, out of his little area, walks to the middle of the airport where everybody walks and she follows him and screaming at him and he's walking away like, ah, this is not for me.

[Eddie]

That's so smart.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not for me. She returned to the gate and toppled the already damaged computer that she'd already hit and continued to stalk the agent as the incident ended. It says it's unclear whether she was arrested. If she wasn't, she will be now. Yeah, yeah. It's wild and I get it. She's probably having a terrible day because she couldn't get to where she wanted to go. She's probably. Her blood sugar's probably low. There's probably a lot of things happening here.

[Eddie]

Angry.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I don't mind watching these meltdowns in airports because I know nobody's gonna die.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations, Hesi Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy.

[BetterHelp Representative]

I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people. So if you're human, that's like a good indicator that you could benefit from talking to somebody.
