August 18, 2025 | Premiere Networks | Host: Bobby Bones

Episode Overview

This episode kicks off the week with the team returning from vacation, diving right into juicy personal dilemmas, music debates, and a lighthearted draft game. The main segments include a candid conversation about social media and relationships (featuring Amy’s real-life drama), a call-in clarifying North Carolina’s surfing scene, a heated debate over what qualifies as "classic rock," and a high-energy song draft with a twist. Throughout, the crew keeps things fun and honest, poking fun at themselves and each other.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Vacation Recap, Hurricane Updates, and North Carolina Surfing

• Return from Vacation: The team is back after a week off, feeling refreshed. Bobby jokes that when they leave, it feels like everyone does.
• Hurricane Aaron: Bobby updates on Hurricane Aaron, now a Category 4 storm. The crew discusses potential impacts and pokes fun at their lack of weather expertise.
• North Carolina Surf Culture: Curiosity arises about whether there's a surf community in North Carolina. Bobby and the team joke about their assumptions (mostly basketball and football) until listener “Carolina Roy” calls in to confirm that Outer Banks and other spots have real surf scenes.
  • Carolina Roy (Caller, 1:23:20): "My dad taught me [to surf] when I was 4 or 5 years old. I snowboard as well. It's a lot of balance and all that stuff."
  • Bobby (1:24:44): "Pound for pound, [North Carolina] is one of the best states for all things... summer, winter, ocean, mountains."

2. Anonymous Inbox: Amy’s Boyfriend & Social Media Drama

• Listener Letter: A woman ("The Social Media Secret") asks if it's a red flag that her boyfriend’s social media still showcases pinned posts from old relationships and doesn’t feature her.
• Amy Relates: Amy shares that she’s in a similar situation—her boyfriend doesn’t post her on his private account, which quietly bothers her.
  • Amy (00:33:55): "If you go to your page, it's like I don't exist in your life."
• Advice & Debate:
  • The team agrees that leaving an ex pinned is odd and should be addressed directly.
  • Bobby reiterates the importance of communication, highlighting that everyone’s approach to social media is different.
  • Notably, Lunchbox and Eddie brush off the significance unless it’s regular posting.
  • Bobby (00:38:10): "Don’t hold something against him that you haven’t communicated bothers you. He could just be being a dumb guy — but he also might not be."

3. Voicemail Q&A – Show Transparency & Family Life

• Behind-the-Scenes: Listeners ask if show members share "bits" (on-air segments) with their families. Bobby and Eddie admit they keep show content largely separate to avoid trouble at home.
• Old Gift Card Update: Lunchbox addresses a long-unresolved bit—a $200 Ruth’s Chris gift card from Chris Janson—which he still hasn’t used.
  • Lunchbox (00:46:10): “I have not used the gift card yet. Waiting for a special occasion.”
• Morning Corny: Listeners contribute corny jokes for Amy. One fan speculates Amy intentionally slows the game so the team can’t break the show record for correct answers in the “Investigative Corny.”

4. Is It Classic Rock? (Scuba Steve’s Segment, 00:57:30 – 01:09:30)

• Classic Rock Timeline Debate: Scuba Steve discusses whether '90s bands like Korn ("Freak on a Leash") and Godsmack ("Voodoo") now count as classic rock, given that their hits are almost 30 years old.
  • Bobby (00:59:36): “You have to almost, like, put off your judgment of it… Factually, it is classic rock.”
• Changing Genres: The gang observes how “classic” used to mean '70s/early '80s, whereas now sub-genres have complicated the definition—rock is now everything from Weezer to Creed.
  • Scuba Steve (01:04:13): “The playing field’s wide open.”
• Music Nostalgia: Some resistance comes from the idea that only certain sounds ( Zeppelin, ‘70s guitar) count, but Bobby points out how shifting musical textures redefine the landscape.

5. Raymundo’s Grown-Up Birthday List

• Bobby shares how Raymundo’s elaborate 40th birthday wish list (complete with a banana plant and Le Labo cologne) has become a running (and expensive) gag within the show.
  • Bobby (01:15:13): "It’s been a pretty expensive list, though. I’m at about a thousand bucks in already!"
  • Raymundo (01:18:32): “It’s like a teacher’s list and now the little twinge of my OCD wants to complete it.”

6. Draft: Best Songs That Start with ‘C’ (01:25:00 – 01:38:45)

• Game Rules: Each member selects songs starting with the letter ’C’ over three rounds; song titles must strictly begin with "C."
• Notable Draft Picks:
  • Lunchbox: "Chattahoochee," "Cupid Shuffle," "Country Roads" (but flubs the real title).
  • Eddie: "Can’t Help Falling in Love," "California Girls," "Cha Cha Slide."
  • Bobby: "Calling Baton Rouge," "California Dreamin’," "Coal Miner’s Daughter."
  • Amy: "Carrying Your Love with Me," "California Love," "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
  • Raymundo: "Country Girl (Shake It For Me)," "Country Grammar," "Country House."
• Memorable Exchange:
  • Amy (after Bobby groans at her Elton John pick, 01:37:33+): “That’s good, Amy. It’s a good one.”
  • Lunchbox (caught misnaming “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” 01:37:58): “Yeah, but you were strong there...”
• Honorable Mentions: "Crazy in Love" (Beyonce), "Crazy Train" (Ozzy), "Copperhead Road" (Steve Earle), "Creep" (Radiohead).

7. Parenting & Tech: AirTag Shoes (01:42:18)

• News: Skechers introduces kids’ shoes with a built-in AirTag slot; reactions are mixed.
• Team’s Take: Amy and Bobby think it’s useful for safety; some internet critics call it “obsessive parenting.”
  • Amy: "I don't know that I hate it... [It’s] just another way to know where they are."
  • Bobby: "The whole slot thing isn’t new, but people are upset because they built a hidden compartment. Why would you be upset?"
• Nostalgia: The Roos shoe with pocket returns to mind, but now with tracking—21st-century upgrade.

8. "Tell Me Something Good": First Responders Deliver Twins (01:51:05)

• Lunchbox shares a feel-good news story of Detroit medics delivering premature twins in a living room, later reuniting with the family for a celebration.

9. Parenting Logistics Meltdown: “Enough is Enough” (01:57:52)

• Eddie’s Rant: Eddie vents about over-scheduling chaos, juggling multiple kids’ practices and games, and refusing to Uber home to make a point to his wife.
  • Eddie: “Once we’re talking about Ubering from one place to another, we have to pump the brakes and say, this is too much.”
• Show commiserates about modern parenthood and impossibly busy weekday logistics.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Bobby (on weather expertise, 00:12:31): "By the way, we shouldn’t talk about weather. We don’t know anything. We’re just speculating crap."
• Amy (on social media & relationships, 00:39:11): “It's like I don't exist in your life… but still.”
• Scuba Steve (classic rock, 01:04:13): “The playing field's wide open… I was even looking at Weezer and Three Days Grace…”
• Lunchbox (on not using gift card, 00:46:10): “I have not used the gift card yet. Waiting for a special occasion.”
• Carolina Roy (caller, 1:23:20): "My dad taught me [to surf] when I was 4 or 5 years old. I snowboard as well. It's a lot of balance…”
• Eddie (on over-scheduling, 01:57:52): “Once we’re talking about Ubering from one place to another, we have to pump the brakes and say, this is too much.”
