Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Easy Trivia Showdown

[02:43–14:14]

• The crew, including Eddie, Amy, Abby, and Lunchbox, go head-to-head in a round of Easy Trivia with categories like Spanish translations, Famous Johns, '90s pop stars, blue characters, and rhyming answers.
• A highlight moment: Eddie nearly loses on a rhyming phrase, but pulls "easy breezy" just before time runs out.
• Amy playfully calls Eddie an "idiot" (03:32), then quickly apologizes, leading to a brief, good-natured group discussion about being too harsh on each other.
• The competition comes down to Eddie and Abby, with Eddie eventually claiming victory and the "championship" after Abby can't recall "Bridget Jones's Diary."
   Notable Quote:
   - Amy (referring to the pressure): “I can’t miss this. Eddie can’t win.” [13:31]

2. Building Thicker Skin: Listener Question

[14:14–19:43]

• A letter from "Sensitive Sally" asks for advice on dealing with negative comments and developing thicker skin.
• Amy recommends focusing on positive thoughts and shifting mental energy away from lingering on negativity.
  • “It’s not so much about building your thick skin. It’s just not letting those comments in and looping… I’m not going to let that stay here and rule my day.” [15:17]
• Bobby shares that he rationalizes negative comments by recognizing that happy, healthy people rarely spread negativity, and that thicker skin is built through repeated experience.
  • “A thick skin… is a development of circumstance over time… so don’t hold yourself [to] ‘I wish I had a thicker skin.’ It’s all experience.” [17:26]
• Humorous sidebar comparing Amy and Bobby’s different brain wiring and notetaking habits.

3. Is Lunchbox Lying About ‘The Price is Right’?

[24:10–28:36]

• Caller Summer shares her own experience being on "The Price is Right" and supports the possibility that Lunchbox is hiding the truth due to show confidentiality agreements or for a big reveal.
  • “He could actually have been on it and just not totally sharing the whole story yet.” [25:36]
• Bobby and Amy debate the possibilities—whether Lunchbox is keeping a secret because of show rules, or if he genuinely didn’t make it far.
• Summer describes winnings: “I won this horrible wall clock to get on, and then I won six bars of gold, a trip to Fiji, and a trip to Mexico… They do make you cash in your bars of gold like that day, though.” [27:55]

4. Tell Me Something Good – Heartwarming Stories

[28:52–30:59] & [40:06–41:32]

• Story #1: 4-year-old Easton Peterson passionately raises hundreds of dollars for a dog rescue (K9 Stray Rescue League), managing to clear out the shelter’s Amazon wishlist.
  • Bobby: “Not only did he raise all the money, he was able to like, clear their Amazon wishlist… which is pretty crazy.” [29:12]
• Story #2: Dad restores his late wife’s 1965 Mustang, found on Marketplace, for their daughters, creating a touching family tribute.
  • Amy: “Their mom, Tracy, passed away about 20 years ago, but both daughters are now, like, living their mom’s best life because their dad, Bruce, restored their mom’s old Mustang.” [40:06]

5. Fun Fact Round-up

[30:16–34:14]

• The team shares fun, quirky facts:
  • The color of your dinner plate can affect how food tastes and how much you eat (Amy).
    • “If you eat on a round white plate, it enhances sweet flavors, while a black plate brings out savory notes. And if you eat on a red plate, you reduce the amount that you eat.” [30:16]
  • One gallon of gas contains enough energy to charge an iPhone for over ten years—if only we could put gas in our phones (Bobby).
  • Price is Right’s skinny mic was designed to relax contestants (Bobby).
  • Before the 1940s, pink was considered a boys’ color (Morgan).
  • Chuck Lorre of Big Bang Theory fame wrote the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme but got no royalties (Bobby).

6. Alan Jackson Birthday Interview & Song Insights

[36:04–39:15]

• Bobby shares highlights from a past interview with Alan Jackson:
  • Alan doubted his own song "Chattahoochee" would connect since it is named after a Georgia river, but realized it had universal coming-of-age themes.
    • Alan: “I real[ized] that everybody had a Chattahoochee or something like that, so they related to it regardless of the title. I was wrong on that one.” [36:42]
  • Alan recounts his first TV break singing as a TNN mailroom worker and the challenges of picking setlists with so many hits.
    • Alan: “It makes me feel really bad sometimes…I know some people come to hear one particular song and you just don’t get to do it for them.” [37:34]
  • Wife Denise once thought “Where I Come From” was a dumb song, but it became a #1 hit (with the lyric "cornbread and chicken").

7. Language: How It Sounds to Non-Speakers

[48:31–51:12]

• Bobby plays TikToks simulating what English, Spanish, and German sound like to non-speakers—nonsense syllables with the right cadence.
  • “So mostly that’s the sounds. They’re hearing us. That’s us without knowing what we’re…without knowing what we’re saying.” [48:58]
  • Crew agrees the "Spanish" simulation sounds authentic even though it’s gibberish to a Spanish speaker.

8. Other Notable Segments

• [53:11] Discussion of a niche business offering "wedding nannies" for $1,000 per event—babysitting kids for wedding guests.
• [46:32] "The Morning Corny:"
  • Amy: “Where do bees like to vacation?” Bobby: “Where?” Amy: “Singapore!”
• [51:12] "Bonehead Story of the Day:"
  • Man in Washington lights a fire in his apartment after getting upset at football, then demands a Dairy Queen Blizzard before agreeing to end a police standoff.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On sensitivity and thick skin:
  • Bobby: “I don’t know a single fulfilled person who talks negatively about other people. So that’s how I deal with it. It’s like somebody’s talking bad about me. Sucks for them. They must be having a pretty hard time right now.” [17:15]
• On The Price is Right mystery:
  • Summer (caller): “He could actually have been on it and just not totally sharing the whole story yet.” [25:36]
• Alan Jackson on ‘Chattahoochee’:
  • “I just thought that it was…a title of the name of a river… no one was going to relate to it... I was wrong on that one.” [36:42]

  • Amy: “I’d like to apologize for calling you an idiot.” [04:22]

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

Okay. Diary of.

[Bobby Bones]

Diary of a Mad Black Girl. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that feels weird. This one feels weird. Why? It's just weird. Like, I can't believe I won like that. I'll. I'll take the win and the championship. The. The championship season champ. But anyway, I'll take. Hey, I'll take it. Thank you, guys. Champion again. Thank you. Wow. Wow. Okay, there we. My mom. Enough thanking. It's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be had. Send it into the. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm exhausted from taking every little comment to heart. I know most people don't mean anything by, but my brain replays offhand remarks for days and I start avoiding people or conversations to stay safe. I don't want to become hard or cynical. I just want to stop spiraling over every word or comment. How do you build thicker skin without losing your softness? Signed, Sensitive Sally. You want to go?

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. I've had to do this a lot at times, and I think it's just where you put your focus. Like, it's easy to let the negative things loop. And so it's not so much about building your thick skin. It's just not letting those comments in and looping. You can acknowledge them and then be like, I'm not going to let that stay here and rule my day. Like, I'm going to think of more positive things and try to shift your focus. Like, every time it happens, you're rewiring to go another direction. And the more you do that, at least for me, it's been easier.

[Bobby Bones]

I have found that for me it works in a different way. And I think everybody is different in how they deal with this. I have found that if I can rationalize, let's say, negative comments, I don't know anybody that's healthy that is commenting negatively about things. If you go to, like, negative, even on social media, any of my friends that are like, working hard, fulfilled life, families, doing pretty, they never. They don't troll. So anybody that does, that's a type of person that's either really sad, really mad, really angry, really lost, really, really something that's not positive. It doesn't have to be bad. It can also be sad. So how I approach even people, let's say even in this town, like, industry, saying things about me. I don't know any super healthy people that are talking bad about people. I just don't. So I go, man, that sucks. They are not feeling good about themselves or taking it on other people. It's very much the bully mentality of back in school too. Like, there's a reason bullies bully. It's because they're sad, mad, hurt, whatever you want to insert. There so if it's like that, people talking about you in that way, it's hard to go up and, you know, separate the forest from the trees. But I don't know a single fulfilled person who talks negatively about other people. So that's how I deal with it. It's like somebody's talking bad about me. Sucks for them. They must be having a pretty hard time right now.

[Amy]

Yeah, sometimes though too. If we have a negative narrative already and they happen to say something that we're like, oh, shoot, maybe that is true about me. So, yes, I think that's really good advice, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, you never develop a fully thick skin. You have thicker skin because you've been through the circumstance enough times to realize that it doesn't affect you. But. But I don't know anybody that's born with a super thick skin. A thick skin or whatever that means is developed and it's an understanding of, well, all this bad stuff really doesn't affect me because I've learned over time it hasn't affected me. So a thick skin is, you know, a development of circumstance over time. But so don't hold yourself. I wish I had a thicker skin. It's all experience. So also everybody's not the same. And also people spiral in different ways. Amy spirals in different ways than I spiral. I spiral in crazy hyper focus ways. And she's all over the place. And it's just different. We just are different.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm all over the place.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't think you are? I wish I could be a little more.

[Amy]

No, I can be all over the place.

[Bobby Bones]

I do see your paper after a show. Well, what's on it right now?

[Amy]

So that is my adhd. I. Yeah, I know exactly what it looks like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it just. But it's. It's different. Superpower doodles. Like, if you look at my paper, it's my name. There's no doodles. But it's all blockly squared away. Everything is finished and marked off perfectly. But I'm. It's obsessive in the same way that yours is. Like, this is the difference in our two lives. Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, I have my name written out in block letters and then I have these random words written down. Oh, interesting. With eight exclamation points. I also have. Funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did you write oh, interesting with eight exclamations?

[Amy]

I don't know. I have my name again, Amy Brown. I have the number 33.

[Bobby Bones]

Why'd you write 33?

[Amy]

Is that Mexican?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, is that weird? Did you write Spanish?

[Amy]

I have the word 511. Abby.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Why'd you write Mexican with a circle and a line through it?

[Amy]

No, I didn't do that. But it's so funny. Like, I mean, we need to know what I'm writing down. Like, I don't even know what some of this stuff means where mine is.

[Bobby Bones]

So regimented and I can hold up my page and it looks like government redacted files, and my day is not done until it's fully redacted. Every single part of it has to be blocked out.

[Amy]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 stars.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine also has the word Mexican with a circle online. Weird. Okay, we need to talk about. I mean, I have a meeting after the show. All right. That's what we say. Everybody's different. You got to find your way that you have success with it and then go back to that whenever it starts to spiral out again. That's what I would say. Yeah. Yeah. And like, what. What. What was the eight exclamation points? I'm just really wondering what that was. Interesting.

[Amy]

Oh, no, It's. Oh, interesting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 exclamation points. And I even wrote, I outlined oh, interesting like multiple times.

[Bobby Bones]

And you don't remember a four?

[Amy]

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. All right. There you go. Close it up, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

What was that like for you to soft launch into the show?

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry, Jenna. I'll be asking the questions today.

[Amy]

I forgot whose podcast we were doing.

[Bobby Bones]

Nick Kroll. I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of SNAFU with Ed Helms on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast Podcasts. I'm Jonathan Goldstein, and on the new season of Heavyweight, I help a centenarian mend a broken heart.

[Amy]

How can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again?

[Bobby Bones]

And I help a man atone for an armed robbery he committed at 14 years old. And so I pointed the gun at him and said, this isn't a joke. And he got down. And I remember feeling kind of a surge of like, okay, this is power. Plus, my old friend Gregor and his brother try to solve my problems through hypnotism.

[Amy]

We could give you a whole brand.

[Bobby Bones]

New thing where you're, like, super charming all the time. Being more able to look people in the eye, not always hide behind a microphone. Listen to heavyweight on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's Ana Ortiz, and I'm Mark and Delicato.

[Amy]

You might know us as Hilda and.

[Bobby Bones]

Justin from Ugly Betty. We played mother and son on the.

[Amy]

Show, but in real life, we're best friends.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm all grown up now.

[Amy]

Welcome to our new podcast, Viva Betty.

[Bobby Bones]

Yay. Woo hoo.

[Amy]

Can you believe it has been almost 20 years?

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Amy]

That's not even possible.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're the only one that looks that much different.

[Amy]

I look exactly, exactly the same. We're rewatching the series from start to.

[Bobby Bones]

Finish and getting into all the fashions, the drama, and the behind the scenes moments that you've never Heard before. You're going to hear from guests like America Ferreira, Vanessa Williams, Michael Urie, Becky Newton, Tony Plana, and so many more icons. Each and every one.

[Amy]

All of a sudden, like, someone, like, comes running up to me, and it's Salma Hayek. And she's like, you are my Ugly Betty. And I was like, what is she even talking about? Listen to Viva Betty. As part of the My Cultura podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We have a caller on that's gonna present an interesting scenario. Lunchbox may have said he didn't get on Prices, right? Because they didn't allow him to say, like, he could have let us done a wild goose chase. She's gonna give us more information. Okay, let's go to her now. Hey, Summer, you're on the show. What's going on?

[Amy]

So I was just listening to Lunchbox talk about his experience with Price Is Right, and I was on it and actually won the whole show years ago. And it's super similar to him exactly how he explains it. I was actually number 36, and I think so it's possible that he still could have been on it and he's just not sharing with you guys, because as soon as you get off, if you win anything, they make you sign, like, everything. I'm sure in radio, you guys know how to, like, all the things you have to sign. So, like, if the president came on and spoke at the time that the show is supposed to air, you get nothing. So if the show doesn't air, you don't get anything. And so he could be kind of playing with that of like, oh, I don't want to share in case, you know, it doesn't air or he might still want to keep it a surprise. I don't know, because. So also, in the room where he talked to the producer or the. Whoever it is that you talk to, they did the exact same thing to me of, oh, so what's your name? What do you do? I was like, I'm Summer. I'm a teacher. Okay, great. And moved on to the next person. That's literally the only thing that they talked to me about. I was like, all right, cool, I'm not on the show. And I ended up being the first one called up. So just my thoughts is that he could actually have been on it and just not totally sharing the whole story yet.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think she brings up a great point, but do we think that he could have pulled that on us?

[Amy]

Well, he Was doing that weird smile thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I think that was him just trying to. I don't think he's capable of pulling that with us. Like, he's not that good. Could he have said, let's say he gets up on contestants row. Could he have said he got on contestants row but didn't win?

[Amy]

Sure, sure. I mean. And, Well, I mean, y' all are different because you're in public. Like, I could have told my family, but I don't know that I would say it in public, because, I mean, you can say it, but if it doesn't air, then it's kind of like it never happened. So being in public, he might not want to. To share in case it doesn't. Or he didn't want to share playing the long game. Oh, yeah. Or he could just do in the long game with y' all because it was really fun. I ended up getting to watch it with my whole fifth grade class. And no one knew that I even made it onto the, like, contestants row, much less one. And so it was. It was a much bigger fun surprise to be able to watch it with everybody and see it all together than them know that I was on it in the first place.

[Bobby Bones]

That's an interesting theory, but I. Okay, let's say he won. And let's say he told us on the air he's not eliminated from winning the prizes if it errors. Right. So he could tell us, and then it airs and he wins the prizes and he still gets the prizes. It's only if it doesn't air.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But will they hold the episode hostage because he says no. But if something happens where they have to, like, I wouldn't say bad weather, because there's not bad weather all over America. The president. Anything that cuts down anything that cuts a new. New story. Got it. But I think he wouldn't care. He would just want us to know we got on regardless.

[Amy]

Right, Alien.

[Bobby Bones]

But I. That is something to think about, though, Summer. So I appreciate that. Thank you for calling. Hey, what you win, by the way?

[Amy]

Let's see. I won this horrible wall clock to get on, and then I won six bars of gold trip to Fiji and a trip to Mexico, like, villas in Mexico.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you go on the trip?

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it cool?

[Amy]

They were great. They were totally legit. It was. Yeah. It was really fun. Yeah. They do make you cash in your bars of gold like that day, though. So you get whatever the. The value of the gold is that day. But I was like, I kind of want to have a bar of gold. Who doesn't want to buy gold just to have walking around? But no, they make you cash them in.

[Bobby Bones]

How much was the bar of gold worth?

[Amy]

It was right around a thousand, I think, at the time.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool. All right, well, thank you for sharing that with us. We appreciate that.

[Amy]

You're so welcome.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you later. That'd be fun to watch with your class. Although they're like, she wants to watch Price Right one random day. Okay, this is weird. It's time for the good news with.

[Amy]

Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Easton Peterson's 4 years old at his school, at his, like, pre K, they have a rescue that they raise money for. K9 Stray Rescue League. And so he's four and it's like he really wanted to do it and man, he did. And he went hard and he raised hundreds and hundreds of dollars. And it kind of became a story of this four year old raising money for dogs. And so it also became novel.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, here's a kid that's out hustling for money, so everybody wants to be a part of it. But not only did he raise all the money, he was able to like clear their Amazon wish list for items for that shelter, which is pretty crazy. And his mom and his dad are like, he's awesome.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah, that's great.

[Bobby Bones]

That's from Click on Detroit. Four years old as somebody. Eddie. Yo. This had four year olds. Yep. Four of them. Well, I've had four. Four year olds. Any of them like. No, they would never do that. Never. They wouldn't even think about doing that. They would think of hustling and making some money. Extra cash for ice cream, gum, candy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But no, but isn't that kind of on. Again, not a parent yet. But isn't that kind of on the parent. Look, I. I think the four year old, even in this story, got the idea from the parents. Right. There's no way the four year old thought of like, I want to do this. Then isn't that on you for your 4 year old's not doing it? Yeah, I guess so. Just making sure. Big shout out. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something, Bones. Fun fact around the room, Amy. Fun fact me.

[Amy]

So the plate that you serve your food on can influence how your food tastes or how much of the food you want to eat. Like if you eat on a round white plate, it enhances sweet flavors, while a black plate brings out savory notes. And then get this Your favorite color, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Red.

[Amy]

If you eat on a red plate, you reduce the amount that you eat.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It feels racist. What? Yeah, for sure.

[Amy]

No, they do all.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't judge my plates based on color. Yeah, I don't like that. That is weird, though, how our brain is affected.

[Amy]

And like, some restaurants, they know this. They'll serve food on certain plates because they pay attention to the science behind it. Or they'll paint the walls a certain color because it sets a mood. Like, it prepares people's brains for, like, however long they're gonna stay there and eat.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be stupid to paint your plates red than at a restaurant.

[Amy]

Yeah, because you want people to eat.

[Bobby Bones]

More, eat more, order more. If I was at a restaurant, they brought a bunch of black plates. That'd be weird. I've never seen a black plate. Me either. Maybe I've seen a red plate.

[Amy]

Oh, I've seen black bowls and plates.

[Bobby Bones]

You have?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I've seen black bowls.

[Amy]

Yeah, I ate out of one the other day. I'll send you a picture.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, good for you. I've just never seen a black plate.

[Amy]

Come to think of it, I did pick up on the savory notes.

[Bobby Bones]

No, stop it. Stop it. No, stop, stop. Yeah. Okay. There's enough energy in 1 gallon of gas to charge your iPhone for over 10 years. We just can't. We just can't put gas in our phones.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you imagine? But there's enough energy in 1 gallon of gas if you were to have a little gas 10 years, but then they explode and stuff. And the whole thing about fire.

[Amy]

Yeah. You're not even supposed to be on your phone when you're getting gas. What it says specifically, I do it. What?

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes I leave the car running.

[Amy]

I am way too freaked out that I'm gonna be the person on the news that blew up because I was on my phone.

[Bobby Bones]

I just don't think that's a thing. I don't think it's ever happened. I think leaving your car on is. Is bad news because there's heat and it's combustible, and something could. But I don't think just having a phone like a normal functioning phone that hasn't been dropped and shattered, and there's just not a spark that's coming out of a phone. What do you. I see you looking it up.

[Amy]

I'm looking it up because. Okay, you can't have a phone by a gas tank because it is a precaution against the real risks of static electricity and Driver distraction.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's the part, though.

[Amy]

The idea that a phone can cause an explosion is a myth.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm looking at the mythbusters episode. It's not in bad form or a fire risk to use your phone while pumping gas. Well, man, what is, though? If you go sit in the car, you know, if it's a winter time. Winter time, and you have a jacket or something, and you sit in the car and you get back out and you touch the handle and it sparks, you can get a fire going.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen that happen.

[Amy]

You touch the handle raw.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, because of the static electricity. Your jacket. Yes. What are you talking about, Amy?

[Amy]

Raw handle.

[Bobby Bones]

But how else do you. I put a sleep. Are you serious? Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you.

[Amy]

I love when they handle, like, over where they have the squeegee thing for your windshield. They normally have paper towels. I go. I grab a paper towel, and I wrap that around the handle.

[Bobby Bones]

And what?

[Amy]

I do not go raw.

[Bobby Bones]

If I have to go raw.

[Amy]

I have hand sanitizer.

[Bobby Bones]

Quickly. Yeah. How many people have touched that thing? Tons. And had their hands in their butts. Another thing you shouldn't do while pumping gas is take two pieces of wood and rub them together. Oh, because that's vigorously.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or smoke a cigarette.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, vigorously. Because that could get you in trouble there. Okay. Lunchbox on the Price is Right. You know how Drew Carey and Bob Barker have that little. Well, Bob Barker's dead, but have the real skinny microphone. Yeah. They do that on purpose because they used to have a big microphone, and people that never been on TV before got real nervous and would feel uncomfortable about. So they got a real sleek microphone to make you not notice it and you just feel relaxed. I mean, the skinny microphone is awesome. It is. It's so cool looking with a little ball on top. I think it's awesome because it's just existed for so long in that space, and that is awesome. Which makes the microphone like Bob Barker was awesome. Yeah. Kind of looks weird. Kind of looks like a. Like a alien antenna. Antenna. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, Morgan.

[Amy]

The color pink used to be for boys, so before the 1940s, pink was considered a strong, masculine color since it's a shade of red. Blue was more delicate and meant for girls, but marketing flipped it forever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I like pink. I like blue. I like light blue.

[Amy]

Yeah. Salmon.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like salmon color. I like straight pink. I've been wearing pink for years. I've been wearing pink before I was even cool. 20 years. I've been wearing pink a lot of times. It was when I was single. I was washing clothes. I think that's when I really got into pink.

[Amy]

Things returning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think that's when I really dedicated myself to wearing pink. Dancing was banned at Baylor until 1996.

[Amy]

I mean, visit it, was it really? Or they just didn't change it in the actual.

[Bobby Bones]

It was banned at Baylor. You heard the. You heard the law.

[Amy]

So wordy. I guess if you were in a sorority fraternity, maybe if you're off campus, you could dance.

[Bobby Bones]

All I know, Baylor Baptist, right? Yeah. I mean, I went to. I grew up Southern Baptist, but we were. They didn't enforce that, really. Not that we were dancing at church anyway. But there wasn't a you can't dance type thing. Yeah. Chuck Lorre. You familiar with him? Yeah.

[Amy]

This is a Saturday Night Live guy.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he created Two and a Half Men in the Big Bang Theory. Okay, that. That.

[Amy]

That's what I meant.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He wrote and performed the original theme song to the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Oh, cool. Wrote the song, sang the song, and never received any royalties. What? Why not? I don't have the answer to that one. I just. Fun fact. Man, that's a good song. Have you gone? I've not gone. Go ahead, Bobby. You have two Labubus, or do you have more than that? Oh, yes. I thought we're being dirty. Yes, I have two. Oh, you have two Laboo dolls. I have one red at one for the. For Halloween. Let me give you some background on that. Laboo boos. So the creator of the Labubu is Casein Lung. That's her name. And it all came from a book, three books that she wrote called the Monsters. So they're characters in the book, and they're also elves. Everybody wonders like, well, what are they? They are elves because the book is based after some Nordic folklore and that's. It's an elf, in case you're wondering. I would. Well, you can tell people now with your Labubu. Maybe the least fun fact of the day. Yeah. No one was really wondering. Yeah. I haven't stopped listening, and I tuned out. Yeah. Today is Alan Jackson's birthday, 67 years old. And I was talking with him and he said he was wrong about Chattahoochee. When he wrote song, he thought no one was going to relate to it. Chattahoochee? Well, Jim McBride and I wrote that, and I just thought that it was, you know, a title of the name of a river in Georgia that I grew up on. Around and. And nobody, unless they were from that area, were even gonna know what in the world I was singing about. I guess the song was really more than that. It was. It was a growing up kind of coming of age song in a small town. And I real that everybody had a Chattahoochee or something like that, so they related to it regardless of the title. I was wrong on that one. That's the number one song I think of. Oh yeah. When it's. When it's Alan Jackson, it's Chattahoochee. He used to work at tnn and that was the old television network called the Nashville Network. And the people that he worked with knew he wanted to be a singer. That led to his first break of. Of like being on a singing show he was working on. I worked at TNN in the mail room. The people that worked there with me knew I was aspiring to be a singer and songwriter. And one just standing around backstage when that show was taping. They said, hey, we need somebody else to sing going into commercial. Because that. They pull people out of the audience to sing. Just a guest audience member just to sing going into the commercial. And they asked me if I wanted to sing. And so I jumped up there. That's crazy, huh? That's amazing. Like, we need a warm body that can sing. You go, and that was Alan Jackson. He has so many songs, so many hits that he can't put them all into a show. And he doesn't like letting the fans down. But here he is talking about that. I mean, it's tough. It's tough. I mean, I've had 60 or 70 singles, you know, that have been either one or five or top 10 hits. And it makes me feel really bad. Sometimes I'll see a fan out there holding up a sign of a particular song from 20 years ago that I hadn't sung in a long time. And it makes me feel bad. I know some people come to hear one particular song and you just don't get to do it for them. So I try to just pick the biggest ones and the ones that have affected the most people or that I enjoy as well. And with all those songs, I'm always curious, like, what do you open with? What do you close with? I usually kick off a gone country because I just. It's just a great opening song and a good track for that. And what do you close with Chattahoochee? I do like a running little set of Five o' Clock and Chattahoochee and then I come do Some Mercury Blues. Sometimes at the end. Oh, come on. Mercury Blues. That's my jam. Oh, I love it. That is my favorite one, I think. Mercury Blues. If I had money, Tell you what I do. I go downtown by Mercury. Or two. I'm crazy about a Mercury. So good. Yeah. And it was on Home Improvement. Was.

[Amy]

It was.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. They did a whole music video on Home Improvement about a Mercury. Yeah.

[Amy]

Was Alan Jackson on the episode?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, he came and he played. Yeah. Stupid. You guys are so stupid. I can't believe you didn't know. It's a random 90s television reference. And he had one song that he thought his wife thought was stupid, but it went on to be a number one hit. Denise. One time I. I wrote this song that she told me it was stupid, and it went on to be a number one, so you never know. And what song was that? If we can ask. I mean, where I come from. That's the one. We're going back in time. That's the one. Denise said that was stupid. You said cornbread and chicken in it. It's dumb. There's never been a number one with the word cornbread in it. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Amy]

All right, so there's a dad. Bruce. Bruce. And there's his two daughters, Kelsey and Mariah. Now, their mom, Tracy, passed away about 20 years ago, but both daughters are now, like, living their mom's best life because their dad, Bruce, restored their mom's old Mustangs. There's a 1965 Mustang which he found on Marketplace, and he confirmed that it is the Mustang that belonged to their mom, Tracy. How crazy is that, all these years later?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's cool.

[Amy]

I'd love for that to happen with my 1985 Ford Bronco.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's just about something you had, though. It's not like your mom's. Yeah, but you just want yours back. Kids to do that.

[Amy]

Yeah, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Or do you know. No, I think she just wants it for her. Like when you said that, that was for you.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. A little different. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess it's a good point. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You just want your old car restored.

[Amy]

For you for this story to work. What you're saying is, I need my mom. 1984 Buick.

[Bobby Bones]

Or your kids end up getting your Bronco, but instead you went to you getting your old.

[Amy]

Okay, well, it's just cool that he found it on Marketplace, you know, and was able to confirm, I guess, with the VIN number. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you gonna call it Zen. Zen number Totally different thing.

[Amy]

Yeah, I knew that was wrong though. Okay. VIN number and the daughters are just so excited. They said before winter hits they're gonna be driving around town local spots in their matching Mustangs that have been fully restored thanks to their dad and a family friend named Jake.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell me something good.

[Amy]

So you know what this is?

[Bobby Bones]

This is the Bobby V. Over to Amy with the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy]

Where do Bees like to vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

Where?

[Amy]

Singapore.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. Pretty good. Yeah. There you go. That was the morning. Corny. Hey, you got a voicemail here. I want to play.

[Amy]

I was wondering if Raymundo still has his truck. That case Matthew decked out for him. Love the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Yeah, Raymundo had an old. Is that a Bronco Blazer? No Blazer. Yeah. And Chase Matthew, the artist came in and totally made it. It looks awesome. Put all the crazy stuff on it, in it. You still got it? Yeah. It's still got the rack, it's got the light strip, it's got hydraulics. There's a woofer in it, a tweeter. It's good. Why would I ever get rid of that thing? Still run good. 200,000 miles and it is still on the road, baby. I had that same vehicle when I was in college. I just can't. My wife said every day she goes, I can't believe you still drive that thing. But it really does. It was. It's lipstick on a pig, honestly. Wait, what you just said, why does it run? Well, it does. That's not a pig. It gets me from the country. I don't think you understand. Lipstick on a pig. Lipstick on a pig. The whole guts of it is a pig. And what Chase Matthew did is lipstick made it look really nice. Yeah, but the car that you said runs well. It does. It gets me from place to place. I would never give one of y' all a ride. You wouldn't even put us in the car to drive us somewhere, but you would drive it. I'll drive. I'm fine with driving it, but, I mean, the. There's just issues with it. It's not great, but, hey, I got massive wheels, pretty cool lights that turn a bunch of different colors on it. It's back to being a pig. If he wouldn't drive us in it at all. Do you drive your wife in it? No, she's. She's ridden that thing once or Twice in the 10 years we've been together, I think. Well, there's your update on that car, Bones. There's this account called World Languages on Tick Tock. And so people that don't know English, how they hear English, and I would do. How I hear, like, Chinese and stuff, but that would get in trouble. But we hear if we don't know the language, there's a certain. We hear it a certain way, right?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So here it is with an explanation how English sounds to non English speakers. What you will hear now is just an audio that Simulates the phonetics of English so there are no real words or sentences that make sense.

[Amy]

Glory of slent, wibbish province though ogle, glad, harnish, gledim, shanter, blue vrendel, swarth, keys, dalip, blockson trolley, flibbish croons, wither, nog, charnip, cretle, strably fentoling, broabe, fleb, clintua, grebish, yarp, flunderstrows, gleebe. Then dow, jimmish, blort, crinkly shaven, wibble, sward, British glomp, turvletto, grebish, chined.

[Bobby Bones]

So mostly that's the sounds. They're hearing us. That's us without knowing what we're. Without knowing what we're saying. Because then I have a lot of languages. Like, here's how Spanish sounds to people that don't speak Spanish. I don't. That sounds. To me. I'm gonna be honest. That sounds like Spanish. I don't know Spanish. That sounds like when you guys are talking in Spanish around me, but to you, I'm sure that's what we heard. English. Yeah. They're saying nothing. What? They're saying nothing, but. Oh, that's crazy.

[Amy]

Saying anything.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's like the English thing. No, not even. They're really not saying words.

[Amy]

Right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy pointed at you two and goes not even to them. Same with us, Amy. Okay, we hit the Spanish one again. So that, to me, sounds exactly the same as if you guys were talking Spanish around. That's amazing. Like, I can.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

With you guys, I can pick out a word or two. Yeah, yeah. Because for a decade or so, I was like, the one white guy you hear local. You'd be like, yeah, gringo, Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. German to non German speakers. That just sounds like you're talking Germany. It really does. How Australian English sounds to non Australian English speakers. Evil at heiress DNA. Trey Lufthansa. Why is Keith Urban talking here? But that's interesting. And now let's do the English again and realize there are no words here. But this is how people hear us when they don't know what we're saying.

[Amy]

Garneth, glory of slant, whibbish province though ogle, glad harnish, gledim, shanter, blue rendle, swarth, keys, Dallas blocks and trolley. Flippish croons.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of. A lot of issues. Yeah, it's just globbish, globish, gleeb. It almost sounds like the guy from the Muppets. The chef. I remember that. Swedish chef.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that accounts fun. That's at World languages on Tick Tock. But the Spanish thing to you sounds exactly like the English thing. Exactly. I mean, yeah, it just sounds normal, but no words. What's crazy about the English thing is like, I feel like all those should be words that we just don't have because they do sound like English words.

[Amy]

They didn't really sound like English words.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they do.

[Amy]

No, they don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'll let you two fight about that. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead story of the day. This story comes to us from Washington. A 40 year old man was upset on Sunday night, mad about football, so he lit a fire in his apartment. A real one. Not like lit a fire under somebody's butt. He lit a real fire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then he barricaded himself inside. What? Gotta be a Cowboys fan. It doesn't say. And police arrive and there's a standoff and he's like, the only way I'm coming out, the only way I'm coming out is if you give me a Dairy Queen blizzard.

[Amy]

That's all I needed.

[Bobby Bones]

He was on something then. What night of the week was it? Sunday. Okay, definitely. Probably a Cowboys fan. Bad loss. Bad luck. It was a bad loss. Probably. Would a blizzard made you feel better? I mean, sure. It really makes you feel better. So what? That's something. If you're a cop, you probably do, right? You give him one. So he comes out. Yeah. So he got a blizzard and he came out and they arrested him. They arrested him. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. You can hire a wedding nanny for a thousand bucks.

[Amy]

What does she babysit kids that come to the wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

Depending on the length of the event and how many kids her team is watching. She charged a thousand bucks to come to a wedding and set up like a wedding daycare. That's a great idea. Yeah. And it's so niche that you're like, well, is that even needed? But if she's like the only one doing it, and there are that many weddings, and there are young kids at weddings that are just crying and spitting and stuff. Is that what they do? I'm learning. They cry and spit. That's what they do. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty good, huh? She says that she has a background in nutrition, child development, CPR certification, general knowledge of what needs to satisfy the kids and keep them well behaved. But she watches them at a wedding. That's a great idea. That's a great, like, you know, tributary off the river. I feel like this could be a normal thing. Like there. I don't know, is the thing as a parent, when you get invited to a wedding but they say no kids, you kind of get, like, offended. And it's difficult because, like, well, now we got to find a babysitter, but if they have a name, you get offended a little bit.

[Amy]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Why? Because it's not your event. We're a family. Like, like, close. Like, say, like, you know, I had no kids wedding. I know. I got offended by that. Yeah. But, like, really, it's stressful thinking. Like, man, I got to get a babysitter for the wedding. No, they have a nanny there. That's cool. You got to get a babysitter for any. Anything you go to with just your wife. Correct. Yeah. Yes. But just takes a little extra stress off. It does cost a lot. Again, a thousand bucks for the wedding. Like the person who's paying for the wedding.

[Amy]

Do the kids have to get dressed up like they're going to a wedding? Or they can just be in their pajamas.

[Bobby Bones]

Not in here. Okay, probably not. They're not part of the wedding. They show up in little tuxes.

[Amy]

Well. Cause I didn't know if it's like, it's a wedding where kids are already allowed, but if you want your kid to go be with the nanny, but it can also come out and dance if it wants, or it can get food.

[Bobby Bones]

She sounds like me talking about a kid thing. Well, I mean, like, that was a good idea. We're done. We'll see you guys on Monday. Bye, everybody. This is the Bobby Bones Show.
