Bobby Bones
He just gets in his car and goes home. Mars drives home.
Lunchbox
There was no way I was going to figure it out by sitting here. So I just took a guess.
Bobby Bones
Get his car keys out. He doesn't even wait.
Amy
Take it. Lunchbox man being racist.
Eddie
He gets home and calls the answer in.
Bobby Bones
He doesn't even give us the answer. He goes, oh my gosh.
Eddie
All right, here's my guess on the phone.
Bobby Bones
Is it Mars?
Eddie
Meanwhile, Morgan's just thinking.
Female Guest
I really am.
Amy
I appreciate your sitting there.
Bobby Bones
Sorry, we're doing a bit.
Amy
It's great.
Lunchbox
Break.
Bobby Bones
We're doing a bit.
Amy
Can you repeat the question?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What's the smallest planet in the solar system? Not Pluto.
Amy
It's not Saturn. It's not Jupiter.
Bobby Bones
Five seconds. It's not.
Amy
Is it Uranus or Mars?
Bobby Bones
All right, go ahead.
Amy
I feel like it's.
Bobby Bones
I need an answer.
Amy
Mercury.
Bobby Bones
That answer is correct. It's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be asked. Hello, Bobby Bones. I have an issue with a few of my friends who are always late. Not five minutes late. 20, 30, sometimes 45 minutes late. first I brushed it off. Life happens. But after years of this, it's starting to feel less accidental and more on purpose. I'm always the one sitting at the restaurant alone, guarding the table, or standing awkwardly at the bar pretending I'm just early. Do you stop inviting people who are chronically late to things you're doing? Is this a lower your expectation situation, or do you set boundaries and cut them out of your life? Signed always on time? It's very much a lower your expectations and then don't just invite them places when they have to be on time.
Amy
Yeah, you don't have to cut them out.
Bobby Bones
They can be in things where it doesn't matter what time they arrive, but they're not coming to things where they have to be on time.
Amy
You could also. Have you had a conversation?
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'm sure people that are late, they know what they're doing. They just don't care enough to change it. If you're chronically late, you know what you're doing all the time, you don't have respect for the other people. So I have friends that are chronically late. There are certain things we invite them to, certain things we don't. If they're just coming over to the house, then we know they're probably going to be 20, 30, 40 minutes late. And that's an understanding. But if it's something where you have to be somewhere on time, they just don't get invited. It's on them. They're going to lose out. But you can't continue to be disappointed by the things they continue to do. They've given you every signal on how they're going to live their life. You can say to them, man, when you guys are late, it makes it really hard on me. And if they don't change, then you have to change. I don't think you have to kill them or anything, but there are certain expectations you have to have with people that have given you reasons to have those expectations. And yeah, they don't respect your time. They probably would grow up in a culture, though, where being on time wasn't the thing.
Eddie
Boom.
Bobby Bones
No, not boom.
Eddie
That's it. That's how we grew up. I remember growing up in the culture where, like, man, if you. You were gonna be somewhere like nine, if the party starts at nine o', clock, right. You get there different.
Bobby Bones
The party's different because there are multiple people there.
Eddie
Okay, fine. Dinner. Dinner. Meet us at the restaurant. Seven. No problem. We'll be there at 7:30, 7:45.
Bobby Bones
Dude, that's so disrespectful. That's so disrespectful.
Eddie
And never did we see it as disrespectful. It was just kind of how it goes.
Amy
So was everybody showed up that late?
Eddie
Yeah, sometimes people were early, sometimes people were later.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You don't live on an island. It's not island time.
Eddie
You know, you used to tell me the. The wrong time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I would do that with a lot of people. And then I just understood, I'm not having the people around anymore. If it's something where we have to be on time and they're not on time, they just will not be invited to come because it's not worth it. So they've given you a reason to feel that way. Act accordingly. Hey, cut them out of your life. I'm mad now. That's so disrespectful of people cut out. Seems a little extreme, but you have to just figure out what friends can do. What? That's the advice that I would give you. Now, if it's a work situation, you don't. They don't work there anymore. That's also that. But that's. That's friends. So that's what I'll say. Thank you. Close it up. I've got my Valentine's Day figured out, and I'm pretty happy about it. So we talk about it. And not every couple celebrates Valentine's Day the same. And it's hard because it's on weekend night. I think it's a Saturday night. Celebrate mine on the 12th this year.
Amy
Why are you doing it a little different?
Bobby Bones
Smart. I'm asking Eddie, do you know about our Valentine's Day plans? I don't. So we were going to dinner. Me, my wife, Eddie, his wife. Last week it got canceled, and so we rescheduled it to the 12th. And my wife said that counts as Valentine's dinner.
Lunchbox
She said that?
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Eddie
Whoa.
Amy
Does yours count?
Eddie
Hey, I haven't asked, but maybe I'll Ask her. Hey, we're having this dinner with Bobby and Caitlyn.
Bobby Bones
We're going to a nice place, but.
Amy
The 12th Valentine's on the 14th, so.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I.
Eddie
And the fact that your wife said that, that counts. I mean, she said it so is bought.
Amy
Oh, sweet. Bobby's gonna pay for Eddie's Valentine.
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh, that's amazing.
Bobby Bones
That wasn't part of the deal.
Amy
Yeah, but you know, you're probably gonna pay for the dinner.
Eddie
Are you?
Bobby Bones
I often do.
Eddie
Yeah, I know, but I often offer. I get my wallet out. I'm like, oh, okay. No, thanks, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Appreciate that.
Eddie
That.
Bobby Bones
Dude, it's a good point. Maybe I shouldn't pay for his dinner then, because it is Valentine's Day.
Lunchbox
True.
Eddie
Okay, well, if you don't pay, then it's definitely our Valentine's Day too.
Bobby Bones
But do you want me to pay? What? Could you still count it as your Valentine's dinner if I paid? Amy, let me ask you before you.
Amy
Well, I mean, I guess he could, but he needs to do something else for his wife.
Bobby Bones
Oh, why? Why?
Eddie
If Bobby's already doing that with his wife and we're at the same dinner.
Amy
Table now, we're talking about if Bobby picks up the bill. Okay, then use that money to give your wife something else, because you already, like, return the Christmas present you got her. And now here we are, Valentine's Day, and you need to get her something.
Eddie
I forgot about the Christmas present. You're right, man. That's a good. Dude, that's awesome that your wife did that, though.
Bobby Bones
I'm almost positive she said, you can count it. Or maybe she.
Amy
Don't blame her.
Bobby Bones
Maybe she said, are you gonna count it? Either way.
Lunchbox
I heard count.
Bobby Bones
Oh, either way. I didn't even factor it in. And they changed the date of dinner.
Eddie
Big difference.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, man. I think that connection can be drawn. And, you know, she's pregnant, so she doesn't feel good a lot of times.
Amy
Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, if she's gonna get dressed and put forth the effort of, like, getting ready and going out, then, yeah, I would be like, yeah, let's do this. Don't. Don't do another dinner two nights later. You know, That's a lot.
Eddie
I love the idea. I love the idea. And if you pay, even better, dude, maybe. Maybe I get a roses afterwards and that kind of counts.
Lunchbox
You want Bobby to buy those, too?
Eddie
No, no, no, I got it. I got that. I got that covered.
Bobby Bones
I probably need to recheck, but I think the 12th counts as Valentine's dinner.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I guess that makes sense. You're still gonna do something else, though.
Bobby Bones
What?
Lunchbox
No, not. Darn.
Bobby Bones
You're gonna do it.
Eddie
It's over.
Amy
Do a little something. Gift giving is your love language.
Bobby Bones
You can't tell me what I'm doing and what my language is.
Female Guest
I'm not.
Bobby Bones
But anyway, I thought we got. I thought we kind of.
Eddie
That's pretty good, man.
Bobby Bones
Got a little bonus, you know what I mean?
Eddie
Really good.

It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. I don't know if he listens to the show, but want to shout out Kenneth Harrell in St. Louis. Dead. Bad weather, like a lot of the country did, and his roads were bad in his neighborhood, and they weren't doing much about it. So he just went and rented a skid steer and did it himself.
Eddie
Oh, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
Paid 500 bucks and rented the thing, which is a. It's a small construction vehicle. It's like a bulldozer, just a small one. And so he just paid for it and started clearing the streets.
Female Guest
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Like, they're not coming here, so I guess I'll go do it. Paid his own money. A local restaurant owner saw him doing it and was like, hey, would you come and, like, help out with some of the spaces there? So he did, and it just turned into a big thing. Like, they should go fund me for, like, a thousand dollars. Max it out a thousand, but go find me, like, a thousand bucks for him. He paid 500 for that and the work that he did. But a big shout out because he wasn't looking for money and he used his own money to Kenneth Harrell in St. Louis, who made everybody's life a little easier in St. Louis. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good bones fun that Friday. I'll go first. Despite the myths, your hair and fingernails don't keep growing after you die, because people have often said, your hair keeps growing. In that case, you'd open up, you know, whatever you're buried in, and it'd just be all hair. It would look like 80s hair band.
Eddie
Good point.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So it grows for a second, but it doesn't grow forever. You know what grows as you get older, though?
Eddie
Your nose.
Bobby Bones
Your nose. All people have huge noses. It'd be an honor to have a long nose because that means you lived a long time. Yeah. Noses and ears. All right, Amy, you're up.
Amy
Music lights up nearly all parts of the brain, including the hippocampus and the amygdala. The Area is tied to memory and emotion. So if you're looking to reward your brain, stir up feelings, trigger memories, maybe just help you feel good, not necessarily sad. Listen to music.
Bobby Bones
As part of David Hasselhoff's divorce settlement with Pamela bach back in 2008, when one of the things he fought for was the catchphrase, don't hassle the hoff. He won it.
Eddie
Never heard that either.
Bobby Bones
Haven't either.
Amy
Either.
Eddie
He doesn't use that more. Haven't either.
Bobby Bones
Speaking of yours about music, you know he's an artist, right? David Hasself.
Amy
I didn't know that.
Bobby Bones
It's massive in Germany.
Amy
Oh, I think that part.
Bobby Bones
That's not a joke, by the way. I was waiting for the punch. No, no, no. He's massive in Germany.
Amy
I think that part I did. Unfortunately for David Hasselhoff, all I know, he has other things going on in his life. Is he still alive?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That.
Amy
That'd be one I'd be unsure about if you ever asked me. But all I think about him is when he was drunk eating that hamburger, and his daughter recorded him. And it was so sad.
Bobby Bones
He's 73 years old.
Eddie
What was wrong with him eating the hamburger?
Bobby Bones
Was he saying he was wasted?
Amy
Yeah, it just was a really sad moment. And his daughter was recording.
Bobby Bones
Went super viral.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you want a David Hasselhoff? Fun fact?
Amy
Did you already have that?
Bobby Bones
Well, you mentioned that about Germany, so I have some stuff about him in German. Okay. So he's way more famous in Germany. In the late 80s, his song Looking for Freedom hit number one in Germany and became the unofficial anthem of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So we see, like, a lifeguard running down the beach or driving an 80s car. They see him as, like, a real rock hero.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Back in 1999, during Toy Story 2, they were almost done with the movie, and someone at Pixar ran The wrong command. Deleted 90 of the movie.
Eddie
Fired.
Amy
Can't you undo that?
Lunchbox
Oh, luckily they had backups, but the backups failed. And they're like, what are we gonna do? Well, there was a woman on maternity leave that had a copy at her house, and that's how the movie Toy Story 2 was saved.
Bobby Bones
She had it on her personal computer at home, and she was on maternity leave.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one, Eddie.
Eddie
Okay, so speaking of animals, Animal crackers. There are 19 different animal shapes in the animal cracker zoo, which is crazy, because I feel like every time I eat them, I just have elephants and like the same ones, but there are giraffes, there's a camel. I've never seen any of these. A bear.
Bobby Bones
I don't think I've seen an animal cracker in a long time, though.
Eddie
Oh, we have like.
Lunchbox
Oh, they're so good.
Bobby Bones
I like them. Not too sweet.
Eddie
They're perfect.
Bobby Bones
And so they're how many?
Eddie
It said 19 total.
Bobby Bones
Huh. You know, the original animal crackers were meant to be eaten while standing them up.
Eddie
What do you mean?
Bobby Bones
Well, the original animal crackers were meant to be eaten while standing them up, not just snacked on. When Nabisco introduced Barnum's animals in 1902, the box even looked like a circus drain. Remember that?
Eddie
Yeah, I do remember that.
Bobby Bones
And that the kids were encouraged to play with the animals before eating them. So they were toys first. Like use them as toys and then eat like, I got you.
Eddie
So play with them first, then eat them. But that sounds just gross.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like play a whole day and then have them after. All right, Morgan.
Amy
Bald eagles take five years to grow in that iconic look. So they aren't born with a bright white head or yellow beaks. They're actually, when they're juvenile, they're dark and really intense. And then they kind of. They're called immatures and they look really patchy. And then finally, after they hit that five year mark is when they get the crisp white head and yellow beak, yellow eyes, that whole look, you know the sound.
Bobby Bones
Well, make a sound of a bald eagle, Amy, go. Yeah, not real. Hollywood puts those in. Eagles actually make lighter, weaker, seagully type sounds. But the thing we hear that's, that's all Hollywood movies.
Eddie
And you hear it bounce off the mountains.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Cuz they're a sea eagle. I didn't know that. I thought they were just like a regular bird.
Bobby Bones
Huh?
Amy
The sea eagle is a. Is known as the sea eagle.
Bobby Bones
A seagull sea eagle.
Amy
No, sea eagle.
Eddie
Not a seagull.
Bobby Bones
Seagull. Fun fact Friday, there's an episode of My Strange Addiction about this woman that would eat her toenails all the time.
Lunchbox
Yeah, she eats her toenails.
Bobby Bones
So he's upset because he eats his toenails. Let me play you this clip from that TV show, My Strange Addiction.
Janet
My name is Janet. I live in Hedgersville, West Virginia, and I'm addicted to eating toenails. I eat my nails every day. When I see, you know, any nails growing in, I just go straight for it and just start biting on them, chewing them. This toenail is so salty right now. It tastes so good. I have been eating toenails for about 26 years now. I started eating toenails when I was about 8 or 9 years old. When I do bite my toenails, I bite them till there's no more nails to bite enough to eat them.
Bobby Bones
Listen, I bite off my fingernails sometimes, so I'm not acting like I'm better than this, but I don't look forward to it because I just can't get enough. I bite them because I'm watching an Arkansas basketball game, and I'm like, oh, boy, hope we don't lose. But Lunchbox is upset because he's been talking on this show that he eats his toenails. But also you make a whole ceremony of it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'll be sitting there watching tv, and I will sit there and pick them off. I don't use clippers. I use my fingers and I rip them, and then I line them up across my thigh, and I just go down and I just kind of eat them in my mouth. Sometimes I just put them in between my teeth. You know what I mean? Like, play around with them in the mouth for a little bit, and then I start chewing.
Bobby Bones
Amy, what are you doing?
Amy
I just feel. I'm like, I've got. I know I've heard this for years, but something is just extra gross about it right now, and I want to bother.
Lunchbox
No, but I saw this, and I'm like, another shot at being on tv. And it doesn't come to me, like.
Amy
How did you submit yourself? Because she probably did.
Lunchbox
I understand. I didn't know they were looking for someone that eats their toenails. And maybe she has a leg up on me because I watched the clip and she was at the gym and she could go sit on the bench, and she was able to take her foot to her mouth and just bite it off. I couldn't do that.
Bobby Bones
She probably stretches, though, to be able to do that.
Eddie
She worked.
Amy
I mean, if she's been doing it consistently since she was 8, then yeah.
Bobby Bones
Do you look forward to eating your toenails?
Lunchbox
I mean, it's a good snack. Like, if I'm just watching tv, it's not a snack. Well, what is it then?
Amy
It's a gross, disgusting.
Lunchbox
So why is it not considered a snack? You eat things and it's a snack.
Bobby Bones
Eating it to, like, be.
Amy
There's no sustenance food.
Lunchbox
Oh, you don't think that's protein?
Amy
I don't.
Eddie
I mean, calcium.
Amy
It's hair. Whatever. Our hair creatine. Whatever. What's our hair made of? Because that's what our nails are made of.
Lunchbox
Oh, if it's creatine.
Amy
Not creatine. Keratin. Maybe a little bit.
Eddie
You actually eat it? Lunchbox. Like you ingest it?
Lunchbox
Yes, Eddie, I chew it and then I swallow it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Toenails are primarily composed of keratin. They also contain trace amounts of minerals like calcium, iron, zinc. Look, I was taking a vitamin D. Doing daily vitamins, but yes, another chance out the window.
Lunchbox
So congrats to her, but I was so upset.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
Congrats to her. Yeah. Anyway, I just want to. I want him to share that with you guys. I felt like it's a good morning for you guys to hear that. What?
Amy
I just want to say that it is not advised to eat toenails, because even though, yes, they are made of keratin, or however you say it, they're not. It's not really. It's indigestible. Keratin, they say, and can carry harmful bacteria, fungi, and dirt from your shoes. Then it's directly on your mouth, which could cause an infection, which could explain how he gets these diseases in his throat.
Bobby Bones
You had a yeast infection in your mouth?
Amy
Maybe they call it a destructive habit.
Eddie
And maybe it's infected your gut, dude.
Bobby Bones
And now your gut hurts. What if all of his problems are because he eats his toenails?
Amy
Oral thrush. That just sounds bad.
Eddie
He said he had that.
Bobby Bones
That was his. That was his nickname in college. That's what the.
Lunchbox
The infection in my throat was.
Bobby Bones
Oral thrush. Yeah.
Eddie
We didn't eat.
Bobby Bones
You got it from eating your toenail. We've diagnosed it. Amy, good job.
Amy
Yeah, no problem.
Bobby Bones
Two things happened here. One, we were all sicked out. And two, we diagnosed Lunchbox's illness. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me.
Amy
Shout out to America's vet dogs, because they just gave us army veteran Mark Patton a service dog, and he was deployed to Iraq, Kuwait. He suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries, loss of mobility. He has ptsd, depression, anxiety, and he waited nearly a year to get matched with his service dog, Shane, and it's going to completely change his life.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And the reason that that's such a big story is they cost so much. They're like 20 grand a dog.
Amy
This particular dog, they say they spend more $50,000 to breed, raise, and train each dog to work with these type of vets. So, yeah, I'm.
Bobby Bones
You totally minimize my story. No, we had bought, like, three or four from military folks from this show. And so. And then I'd also done some work with Purina and we had got vets dogs. And so hey, maybe inflation. Oh yeah, Maybe it was 20 grand five years ago and now it's.
Amy
No, I think we did. We got the dogs. No, we did get the dog.
Bobby Bones
Thanks Obama.
Amy
Maybe like it was over five years ago. So yeah, maybe a little inflation, maybe depending on. Because he has the list of things they have going on that the dog can tend to.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No, I, it's crazy the amount of money these dogs are and I'm sure dogs that have to be trained for different needs even more. But that's a great story. Big shout out to that organization because they really need these dogs and they deserve to have these dogs. And that's a great one. That's what it's all about. That was.
Eddie
Tell me something good, Bones.
Bobby Bones
Wake up.
Eddie
You wake up in the morning and.
Bobby Bones
You turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. His wigs. Next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? Morning corny. Let's go.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.
Amy
What kind of dough does a gamer use?
Bobby Bones
Kind of dough. D o u g h. Okay. Does a gamer use.
Amy
Yeah, nintendo.
Bobby Bones
That was the Morning Corny. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead Glory of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Indianapolis, Indiana. A 49 year old man was staying with his brother and it's cold outside and the gas lines are kind of frozen. He's like, don't worry guys, I got a blowtorch. I'll get in there and I'll thaw.
Bobby Bones
Him out the gas lines with fire. Make sure I'm hearing this right. Yeah, got it.
Lunchbox
So he crawled down in the crawl space, got the blowtorch and you know what happened next?
Bobby Bones
I would suspect nothing good.
Lunchbox
No. The house caught on fire.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, that's something bad. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And so the brother, the dog and him, they all got out but the house.
Bobby Bones
But nobody died.
Public Sponsor
No one died.
Bobby Bones
And this isn't one of those where you're changing it because we can't have deaths in the bonehead. But sometimes you'll lie.
Lunchbox
No, no, there's no lie.
Eddie
Just so he can do it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So if people die, he'll just be.
iHeartRadio Announcer
Like, and everybody lived.
Bobby Bones
But I look back at the story and somebody died.
Lunchbox
Or I'll just say, ah, you know, condition unknown.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
No, no, but they all escaped.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
But the house suffered a lot of damage.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I, I got Eddie a blowtorch.
Eddie
For Christmas, but I know better than that.
Lunchbox
Did you use it on your faucet?
Eddie
No, I use it on the driveway.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Worked, huh?
Eddie
I kind of sort of. Oh, like he fired the driveway, melted the ice. It's pretty cool.
Amy
Freak me out, I know.
Eddie
Better not to do that in a gas line. I'm not a bonehead.
Bobby Bones
There you go. You're not all right.
Lunchbox
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the DAY.

So if we go back to Christmas, this guy got a scratch off and he hit for a hundred thousand bucks. The story just came out. So they do scratch off tickets as gifts. And he got his. And he just got his 100,000 bucks. That's crazy.
Eddie
Nice.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. Just scratching one would be so fun. I invested so much money. Except it's not an investment. It's an. You have to be. That's crazy to me that you scratch off. I just wouldn't believe it even if I were in, like, Arkansas. Let me say this. If we're in Fayetteville and I get a scratch off and I hit 100,000 bucks, I'm looking around the room to see where all you suckers are to see if somehow you gave me a fake one.
Eddie
Who did this?
Bobby Bones
Yes. So there's that one. And the second one is this guy goes in for a gallbladder surgery and left with a vasectomy.
Lunchbox
Oh. Oh, that's the worst.
Bobby Bones
George thought he was going under the knife for gallbladder surgery, but later learned he'd been treated for a complementary vasectomy instead.
Amy
Oh, complimentary, Complimentary.
Eddie
It's like breakfast.
Bobby Bones
Oh. Oh, yeah. It's like Super 8. They got the complimentary.
Amy
Wait, so did his gallbladder get removed, too?
Bobby Bones
The original surgery was postponed today due to circumstances outside of his control. The small detail ended up causing confusion that made its way to the surgical orders, and now it's malpractice, and so it's a scandal. So, yeah, because he was delayed a day, stuff got mixed up.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
He was able to get the correct surgery while doctors pointed fingers as to who was to blame for the error of the vasectomy from oddity central.
Eddie
And you can reverse the vasectomy? I guess, if you really want to do that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
But then, I mean, it's not 100, though.
Eddie
It's not.
Bobby Bones
And then it's like, now you've had two surgeries on your junk. Remember when Scuba, like, blew his out?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah, because he went home and.
Bobby Bones
Like, did it right away with his.
Eddie
Wife, even though they told him not to.
Bobby Bones
I had a vasectomy. I need action. Caveman.
Lunchbox
Well, it was a euphoric. Moment. My wife would want me to do this.
Bobby Bones
And we just looked each other in.
Eddie
The eyes and there we were.
Bobby Bones
You're a caveman.
Eddie
Euphoric.
Bobby Bones
And then you hurt yourself, right?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I was hurt for, like, almost two weeks.
Bobby Bones
Because you weren't supposed to do it right afterwards. Just to wait. Of course.
Lunchbox
Yeah. Let it heal. But I did. Not worth it.
Bobby Bones
It's like having surgery on your elbow and get an arm wrestling match as soon as you get home.
Lunchbox
Is it worth it?
Bobby Bones
Can't do that crap. Would you. Would you change now in retrospect? No. Because, I mean, knowing how it's going to feel afterwards, I think the feeling.
Lunchbox
Of the first one supersedes the second one.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Eddie
I don't know what he's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
What do you mean?
Lunchbox
I can't say too much because, I.
Bobby Bones
Mean, it's a little graphic. It was worth it, though.
Lunchbox
It was worth it.
Bobby Bones
Yes. For a week of pain.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Because she. Because she was.
Bobby Bones
That's enough. I don't even want to hear anything.
Lunchbox
She looked into his eyes, man.
Bobby Bones
I don't want to hear his eyes. I'm trying to be PG with it.
Eddie
I'm still understanding.
Bobby Bones
No, dude, it's good. I think it's one of those better not to understand. I can tell you later. So some people came to your house and they were gonna fix your trees in your yard or what?
Amy
They were knocking on all the doors in my neighborhood for tree cleanup and pickup. And they were from Florida.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And they said they came up straight away to help out. And I was like, oh, well, that's really awesome.
Bobby Bones
Well, for work.
Female Guest
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, we used to. When I roof houses, we would go to states that had tornadoes or bad, like, hail storms because there were so many people that needed it. Everybody locally could not get to everybody that needed it. So you knew there was plenty of work. So, yeah, we would do that.
Amy
Okay. If there's plenty of work. I instantly thought of, like, oh. I mean, I ended up hiring a local company, like a guy that does stuff in my house. Anyway, they were able to still do the tree stuff, which not a lot of yard companies can. They're not equipped. But I was like, oh, dang. Are y' all taking jobs from the people here? But there's so much that it's hard to keep up. So it was. Yeah, I guess they just go where the work is.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If you want it to be done in a timely fashion, whenever it's a complete disaster, like it is here, everybody local is not going to Be able to do it timely. Mm. Because I'm sure, like, the guys that were doing our trees, they probably get asked about 25 people, but we work with them a lot, so they probably put us on the front of the list. But if you're person 8, 9 through 25, you want it done now.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
And also, they're working. I mean, it's people. They're not scamming you or like.
Eddie
No.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I don't mean. I don't think they are.
Lunchbox
That's what I thought. When they knocked on my door two days after it, I was like, scammer?
Bobby Bones
No, not. They could be. But that's not generally the case. It's people coming in town because they know there was damage, and that's the. That's what they do at home. And there may not be a lot of work right now. Right. Because we would do that all the time. If there'd be storms, like, we'd go into Tennessee or Missouri especially, and. Or north Texas and go, hey. We'd see where the damage was and. Or if even on a more local level, we drive to different lakes if there was storms like seawall, find seawall damage. Because what we do, we drive up in a boat, flat bottom, see destroyed sea walls, and go up and knock on the doors like, hey, do you know you got a seawall issue? We know put a bid in that kind of thing.
Amy
But I got bids. So I got a couple of bids because I really had no idea and ended up going with the guy that I work with. I trust him.
Female Guest
A.
Amy
But then B, he. He was.
Bobby Bones
Half.
Amy
My other bid was double, and I was like, well, I guess I. I don't know how to even know because I've never had anything like this happen in my yard.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's a mess.
Amy
So it just, like, I was surprised how drastic the quote was.
Bobby Bones
Was he, like, gonna give you a massage or something after?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No.
Amy
I mean, I feel like he just couldn't be.
Bobby Bones
He has a lot of work, and so he's. If what the work he's gonna take. If he's in such demand, maybe it's just gonna cost more to get him.
Amy
Yeah. I just was like, oh, it's quite the difference.
Bobby Bones
Eddie says his son wants to be just like him now.
Eddie
Dude, it's crazy. He told my wife, he said, I want to be just like dad, strong and fit. I was like. He said, what? He's like, yeah. He said, I want to be just like dad, strong and fit. So that's awesome to me. That My son sees me in that way. Good, strong and fit. Cuz I'm definitely not strong and fit.
Bobby Bones
Okay, you're saying that because those two laughed hard when you said that. They left a little too.
Female Guest
I'm laughing.
Amy
It's like, my kids will come and sometimes like, rub my arm. Whatever. They're like, mom, your arms are so soft. Like, but they mean and squishy. They say the word soft and squishy and I'm like, go away.
Eddie
That's rude.
Amy
I know, but they're not meaning it as rude. They kind of feel. But I'm like, ugh, I need to go lift heavy or something. But your kids see you as not soft and squishy.
Eddie
And then every day I kind of say, like, man, I really want to go to the gym today. I never really go, but I say it. So maybe in their mind, like, oh, maybe when we were at school, dad went to the gym, you know, so in their mind, I'm very strong.
Amy
Bobby, go rub his. Go see if he feels soft and squishy.
Bobby Bones
He doesn't.
Eddie
I'm not soft and squishy. Well, my stomach's a little soft and squishy. You want to feel my arm?
Bobby Bones
I mean, you can bring it over here. I felt your arm before.
Amy
Feel it. No, don't flex. It has to just be casual.
Lunchbox
He's just watching TV right now. That's how I watch TV with his.
Bobby Bones
It's been bigger, but it's okay. Oh, well, we used to work out really consistent. Heck, I haven't worked out in three months because of my ankle surgery. Yeah, so it used to be harder.
Eddie
I think the fast got me a little bit. You know, I. I mean, I didn't eat for 20 days.
Amy
Ate some of your muscle.
Bobby Bones
You want to feel me without working out for three months?
Eddie
Absolutely.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
What in the world?
Eddie
Dang, that's still hard.
Lunchbox
Is it?
Eddie
That's still hard.
Amy
Has it been bigger?
Eddie
Going to fast.
Bobby Bones
I don't think The Fast in 20 Days did that to you.
Amy
Oh, no muscle.
Bobby Bones
Are you not losing deterioration can setting so pretty quickly.
Eddie
Protein intake wasn't there.
Bobby Bones
Dude, he was eating beans.
Eddie
Stop.
Bobby Bones
You didn't go on a fast for three weeks and lose all your muscle. You're not Gandhi. Okay, all right.
Amy
Okay. So cool.
Eddie
Eddie, I thought that was cool.
Bobby Bones
That should make you feel good.
Amy
Like literally Amy.
Eddie
They said Amy's strong and fit.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Yeah, I guess they did.
Bobby Bones
Ray, one of your friends was talking about me. Yeah, she was just asking. She goes, not necessarily how you've become successful. She Just said, what does he do that makes him so successful? What did you answer?
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
The easiest way for me to answer was. I just said, he compartmentalizes. He wouldn't. While he's at the Bobby Bones show, he's not going to be worrying about stuff at home. Oh, my. I need to work on my pickleball court. He would never do that while he's at work. So whatever he's faced with, he's working on in that moment. How did this come up in conversation? She was just wondering. She's like, you're next to him every day. How is he literally that successful? What does he do? And I said, he compartmentalizes.
Amy
Okay, you do compartmentalize. But working next to you every day, I have a different thing, but I don't. I wanted to.
Bobby Bones
Is it soft and squishy safe space?
Amy
I. I wanted to, like, it's.
Bobby Bones
There's no such thing as a safe space in this room. You know that.
Eddie
So I don't want to.
Amy
I think that this make. I think we do fake safe space.
Bobby Bones
We promise you're safe, and then we attack.
Amy
I think even you might agree. But something I've noticed over the years, because, I mean, 20 years of different. Watching you take on different things. So starting off with you, just watching you do radio, but then even in Austin, you became a rapper.
Bobby Bones
I was kept.
Amy
That was one of the first times I saw this. It was like, it didn't matter. You just. You were a rapper. You didn't like, second guess it. You just went and did it, and you made it like, no, no. Nothing anybody said was gonna stop you. It was like part of your. This has always been your part identity. This is what you do. We come to Nashville. Now you're in country music. You just do it. You start a band. I have a band. Of course I have a band. I'm a musician. I have a band. I make music. I write music. I'm a writer. I'm a comedian. And now I go do comedy shows. But it's like all the evolution of all the things when I've watched you pursue them, you pursue them as if that's what you've always been. And it doesn't matter. Like, because my brain second guesses stuff that I want to go do. I'm like, oh, I'm an idiot. Like, I'm not. Why would I go do that? That's not who I am. You know, your brain doesn't do that. At least I don't think my. What I've taken in watching you over the years is there's no way your brain does that. Your brain does not have that option. It just, like, it's straight ahead. Like, you know, duh, I'm a comedian. Duh, I go on a comedy tour. It's obviously what I do. And then you go and you sell out, and you do, and you keep doing it, and then you go to the next thing, like, oh, of course. I'm a mentor on American Idol. You know, like, it's just.
Female Guest
Am I close?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No. I think. Sure. That's your perspective and your opinion. So you're not wrong. I think there are two things that successful people, the ones that I know that they have in common. Number one is the ability to keep going. That's the hardest because it's all. That didn't work out at first. And sometimes it's always that didn't work out. And number two is an irrational confidence in yourself.
Amy
I think that's where I'm at.
Bobby Bones
And I have a wildly irrational confidence in myself that I can do anything I want.
Amy
Like, I'm gonna write a New York Times bestseller. I'm gonna write an author.
Bobby Bones
There's no reason I should have started writing a book. But I was like, who? If other people can do this, why can't I do it? Like, I have an irrational confidence in every single thing that I do. But if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to do things that are irrationally that. That are abnormal.
Amy
Yeah. I could have summed it up in irrational confidence. I didn't know exactly what it was called, but that's just what I've witnessed over the years. I'm like, he just goes for it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I think.
Amy
And not that there haven't been failures, but it doesn't matter. Like, you just are.
Bobby Bones
Yes, I'm irrationally confident that I can do anything. I think if I ran for president, I would be president.
Amy
But then you also have this side of you that's like, ugh. But nobody's gonna read it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, for sure. That is a big imposter syndrome that always lives within myself. Always.
Amy
But the irrational confidence trumps it for sure.
Lunchbox
Yep.
Bobby Bones
I believe I can do anything in the whole world. If I had to quit this job today and I had to go be an investment banker, I'd be number one. I could be a head coach of a college football team. And two years, I have no doubt.
Amy
Yeah. It's almost like it feels delusional.
Bobby Bones
For sure, it is delusional.
Amy
And then until it's not, and then you do it, and you're like, okay, because I'm delusional.
Eddie
You always shocked when you do it, like, when it happens.
Lunchbox
No, because you expect it.
Bobby Bones
There are. There are times where I'm like, huh, look what I did.
Eddie
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Well, after I'm done, like, after I get away from it, yeah. I'll look back and, like, writing books. I don't know how to write books. I didn't know how to write books. And I was just like, I'm gonna write a book. And so I wrote a book, and it did really well. And I wrote a second book. I did really well. And now that I'm far away and I'm not writing books, I'm like, dude, why did I think I could just write books and just fly to New York and, like, go into these places and be like, can I try to convince you guys to buy my book? And a lot of people said no. Everybody said no at first.
Amy
Well, and that's the thing with the irrational delusion or the. Or the irrational confidence and some of the delusion, you still are extremely proactive. It's not.
Bobby Bones
You're.
Amy
You're not just like, oh, this is just gonna happen, and you will it. Like it. You chase it. You go for it. But you.
Bobby Bones
I also do the work. I put the work in to get it done.
Amy
And you act as if it's happening, which is a method.
Bobby Bones
I believe the world is bendable. I believe you can do anything you want. If there aren't physical limitations on it. I believe you can do it. I don't think I can just dunk tomorrow or ever, unless. But there is a way for me to dunk, and this is how I look at life. I can't dunk. I'll never be able to dunk in the way that most people would consider dunking. I can get a trampoline and dunk. I can't dance. I'm never gonna be as good a dancer as some of those people. But can I go and win a dance show?
Eddie
Sure.
Bobby Bones
I'll do it in an unconventional way.
Amy
Yeah. Delusional.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I told Shauna second week of that show, we're gonna win this thing, and I have no idea how, because I suck, but we will win this show. She was like, you're out of your freaking mind. And so, yeah, the two things is you don't stop and irrational confidence. If you have those together, I think you can do whatever you want. But I do have wildly irrational confidence. But I've also done so many things That I probably shouldn't have been able to do that. Now I really believe I can do anything. So that would be. Or compartmentalize, as Ray would say, which.
Eddie
Is different in a way.
Bobby Bones
Like, if you don't believe you can do big things, nobody else will either. And if you haven't done big things, why would you believe you can do big things? Because you have no record to show you can do big things. So you have to be irrational about stuff, even delusional. But, yeah, that's what I'd say. That's good. I agree with you on all that. You said irrational delusion. That was like two words.
Public Sponsor
That was a little hard.
Amy
I meant irrational confidence. I combined the two. I meant irrational confidence. But, yeah, I'm glad you received what I was saying. And you agree.
Bobby Bones
It's funny you bring up the rapping. I was voted, what, second best rapper in Austin, Texas.
Amy
Well, that was the first time I saw it in action because I was.
Eddie
Like, how's Bobby gonna become a rapper?
Female Guest
Yeah.
Amy
I was like, what the. And then he has a name and he's like, outperforming shows and he's winning awards. And I'm like. But that's where I saw. He's like, oh, this guy just, you know, this early on in our relationship where I was like, okay, I think I'm seeing how he is. And then what. But I didn't fully understand until I got here. And then also when I was doing work myself. Because you can adopt that thinking for yourself. Like, if you're someone. It doesn't come naturally to me, but I, in certain things, have adopted it. Like, I just have to act as if this is who I am until I become it. Whereas Bobby was, at whatever age. I'm not sure it was wired into him or he.
Bobby Bones
I think I had to have that to get out of where I was. Like, I never saw anybody graduate high school or college. Yeah. So why would I think I could do that?
Amy
Very well. Could have been at that moment, whatever age that happened to you early in childhood. Whereas mine. I wasn't exposed to that thinking till an adult. And it's not naturally wired in me, but Bobby's just.
Bobby Bones
Mine was shoved in me.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Wired and ready to go.
Bobby Bones
Like, I got it forced upon me. Do you have any answer to that? What would you have said before?
Eddie
I mean, I was gonna say psycho in the. In the way of how you. Like, work is just. I mean, you're just gonna work, man. You're gonna work, work, work until it's done. And what's really impressive, too, is that, like, how you learn about something. If you're going to do something, you kind of learn how it all works. I don't know how you do it, if you read books or what. Or ask people, but you always have this knowledge of, like, all right, I'm going to go into this world, I need to know how it works. And you figure that out. Or I would be like, oof, I don't know how that is. Like, I don't know how that works. I guess I'll ask someone. But you figure it out. And. And to me, the work ethic is really what I've just seen. Like, in a psycho way. You just work.
Bobby Bones
Why do you psycho so much? That's twice. Because I would.
Lunchbox
And he emphasized psycho.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Because it is kind of, I would say, dedicated. It's unhealthy at times.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, for sure.
Eddie
You know, the way you work so much and how you prioritize work over other things, but that's how you got a lot of your stuff. Work, work, work.
Amy
Compartmentalize it.
Bobby Bones
That one feels a little meaner than Amy's.
Amy
And what'd you say?
Female Guest
What?
Amy
You go, eddie, what? You didn't finish your sentence, Eddie, what do you think? Before Amy. No, I finished it. I finished it in my head before Amy hijacked the whole thing.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, I was gonna say before Amy. Accurately nailed it. Described what I. Isn't that funny how your mind did that?
Amy
Yes, yes. I'm well aware of what my mind does, so I have to always. This is another thing that I got from Brene Brown. Let's assume the best. That was me not assuming the best, but in general, just assume the best.
Eddie
But, Bobby, you don't assume the best.
Bobby Bones
Nope.
Amy
No, I meant in what other people are like. I automatically.
Bobby Bones
I'm much more positive this year, though, in case you forgot my word of the year. Well, it's. Oh, yeah, I'm still. But I'm still remembering it. Like, I'm just more positive about it.
Amy
So you're. You're digging in.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I am not always more positive, but I challenge the negativity a lot of times. It doesn't always manifest itself in complete positivity, but I do. When it does happen, I do go, man, do I really want to be negative about this? Because it's gonna be the same result regardless. I'll be positive. Sometimes I'm like, I do want to be negative. I've just seen it happen too many times. But sometimes I'm like, you know, What? This could work out.
Amy
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Love that.
Bobby Bones
Look at us all growing.
Amy
Because just like the world is bendable, your brain is moldable.
Lunchbox
Oh, is that Bennet Brown again?
Bobby Bones
Mine's pretty much in.
Amy
No, that's just kind of dug in there. Neuroscience.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Ray. Yeah, good stuff. I'll have her listen to this. Thanks, buddy. There it is.
Eddie
The answer.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Eddie
What's up, guys? I keep getting DMs, like, I'm talking about, like, 20 DMs of people telling me about their kidney stories that they want. Either they need a kidney or they know someone that needs a kidney. And if I'm willing to help. Dude, I don't know what to do.
Bobby Bones
Like, do you ever respond to them?
Eddie
No, but I'm thinking maybe. Maybe I'm the guy that repost those DMS and be like, is there anyone out there can help?
Amy
Maybe.
Bobby Bones
So this was all rooted in Eddie saying it'd be awesome to donate a kidney a long time ago.
Eddie
A long time ago.
Bobby Bones
But then he's like, I want to do it. I want to do it, I want to do it. They were like, great, get tested. Go do it. And he's like, nah, I don't really want to. So then it became a bit where Eddie would always say he wanted to do it, but never do it. Callers were calling in, but now you're that guy. God may have put this on you.
Eddie
Okay, great. I love it. But what do I do? Like, I don't have 20 kidneys. So even if I did want to donate a kidney, like, I got 20 DMS in my inbox.
Amy
Well, so, yeah, reposting them or putting them out there, that can't hurt. You're contributing to the efforts of finding a match.
Bobby Bones
You have one.
Eddie
One kidney.
Amy
He's not going to do that. Let's just take Eddie off the table.
Lunchbox
Yeah, he's off the table.
Eddie
Currently. Not right now.
Bobby Bones
Stop saying currently, because that makes us come back to it.
Eddie
Right now is just not the time.
Amy
This is the year of him being serious.
Eddie
Yes, I'm being serious.
Amy
He's not going to do it. Then he. You need to be. You've now put yourself in this category of, like, you know, a catalyst, like the voice of helping people find kidneys.
Bobby Bones
So, okay, it could be that.
Eddie
Is it a HIPAA violation, though, to be spreading somebody else's?
Bobby Bones
Not if they sent it to you.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
If they can find a kidney, like, I think they're good.
Bobby Bones
Can you imagine how popular you would become, like, if you started to be the kidney Guy. And you were matching people.
Eddie
I love it.
Amy
I know.
Eddie
I mean. I mean, there's, like, I'm not a hero. Like, it's not about me.
Bobby Bones
You've done nothing. You can't even convince us you're not a hero because you're not. Right.
Eddie
But it's not about me. Even if I do the kidney guy thing, right? Where I just repost all these kidney things.
Amy
You're like a matchmaker.
Eddie
Yeah, but it's not me, you know, I'm just. I'm just the hero. I'm not a hero. It wouldn't be me.
Bobby Bones
We do have this voicemail, too, because Eddie said he was thinking about donating part of his liver. Here you go. Play number two.
Amy
Eddie donating a liver. I actually donated my liver about seven months ago. They took 70% of it, and it's already fully regrown. Recovery was about eight weeks. So it was a little rough at first, but now I'm completely back to normal. So I just wanted to give my two cents about that. Hope everybody has a great day.
Bobby Bones
Thank you.
Amy
That's legit.
Bobby Bones
That you could do. You could just be the organ donating guy. Do some of your liver.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then be liver and kidney guy.
Eddie
70% and it's already grown back.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Amy
Sane.
Eddie
But also, how do you just live on 30%?
Bobby Bones
Well, don't ask me that. I don't know the answer.
Amy
But you're not like.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Amy
It's growing that fast. You're. It's turning over.
Eddie
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Is that something? You'll know.
Eddie
Stop. I'm just. I'm going to. This is my year. Being serious.
Bobby Bones
Possibly.
Lunchbox
Seriously.
Eddie
I think that's really cool. And I mean, I would definitely think about it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God. You're thinking about.
Amy
I mean, the liver seems doable.
Eddie
It's totally doable. The kidney, you got two, and you give one away, you're left with one.
Female Guest
Except for.
Amy
I wonder if there are rare circumstances in which, like, your liver's supposed to grow back and then it just, like, doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Well, don't say that to him.
Eddie
Forget it. I'm out then.
Bobby Bones
The liver is the only visceral organ that regenerates.
Eddie
It's the only one.
Amy
Unless there's a malfunction.
Bobby Bones
That's probably with anything. Okay. I think you should actually consider.
Eddie
Do you.
Bobby Bones
That you could change lives by doing this. All this may have happened for this reason.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Well, so that he now can be.
Bobby Bones
Share of information.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Matcher. And he needs to donate something, though. So he's not a hypocrite. Like you don't see, you know, the greatest color football, color analysts. Most of them have played. Eddie needs to play. He needs to get in the game.
Eddie
I need to at least play in the game a little bit. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Think about that.
Eddie
All right?
Amy
I mean, but I wonder. Your liver has to be in top tip top.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it does. I think it's me in pretty good shape, dude.
Eddie
My college years.
Bobby Bones
He drinks.
Lunchbox
Oh, here we go.
