Announcer
Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show. Morning, stud. Morning, Bones. Did you do the bird test on your boyfriend?
Amy
The bird theory? Yes, I did. I just this. All you have to do is say, oh, I saw a bird today, and then see how much they engage, that they care. Like, what kind of bird, what color was it, where in the yard?
Bobby Bones
Or they go, yeah, so cool.
Amy
Yeah, that's pretty much what I got. But he did say, in his defense, that he was literally in the middle of working on his fantasy football something or another, and it was like, the worst time for me to ask. So had I asked another time, he probably would have been more engaged.
Bobby Bones
You're holding on to this bird fascination, though. Amy sent me a bunch of baby names that have to do with birds.
Amy
Yeah, like, they're cute too. There's girl names and boy names. Like, if I could have a baby, I would consider one of these names. And since I'm not having a baby, Bobby's the next best thing here.
Bobby Bones
You want to hear that? What they are?
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
They're boy and girl. Because we're not tipping off. But hawk.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, hawk is cool. It feels like it's trying.
Amy
Okay. Share the others.
Eddie
J. I mean, that's pretty.
Bobby Bones
That's a normal. Yeah. I give you the top five in each. Corbin. I didn't even know that was a bird.
Eddie
That's a bird. I'm good.
Bobby Bones
Gavin.
Eddie
That's a bird.
Amy
I like the Gavin.
Bobby Bones
I mean.
Eddie
Yeah, I know.
Amy
Here, I'll show you.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know there were birds, though. And talon.
Eddie
Oh, talon is. Is the. The thing that you hook. Like hawks hook with.
Bobby Bones
And I know what a talent. It feels like a. An avenger.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
My ex husband, who's in the air force, he flew C130s, but they were called Talon 2s. They're like a really cool aircraft.
Bobby Bones
Those are the five.
Amy
So hold on.
Bobby Bones
I didn't know Gavin or Corbin was a bird. Right.
Amy
I'm pulling it up for you. Okay.
Bobby Bones
The girl names Ren with a W. Yeah.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
Dove.
Eddie
Love it.
Bobby Bones
Birdie. Cute.
Eddie
Is that just a birdie?
Bobby Bones
Well, to me, it's either a golf term or like a really old lady.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And. And one like birdie or. Or a nickname. Sparrow.
Eddie
I've never heard that.
Amy
Yeah, Sparrow. I wouldn't. Don't go with that one.
Bobby Bones
You Sent it to me.
Amy
I know, but doesn't that. I know I sent it, but is this your list?
Eddie
Like that?
Amy
You know, I didn't, like, just list all the birds. I came across a list of bird names, and I thought, oh, these are good. But not. It doesn't mean I approve of every single one.
Bobby Bones
And Robin.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Which is fine.
Eddie
You know, Robin.
Bobby Bones
I just got titmouse.
Eddie
You ever heard you're a titmouse?
Amy
Ooh, tough to.
Bobby Bones
Why'd you just give away.
Eddie
Dang it.
Bobby Bones
We present to you tit.
Guest/Caller
Wait.
Eddie
Mouse is cool. Chickadees.
Amy
What is Gavin?
Bobby Bones
You sent it to me.
Amy
Huh? What is Gavin? When it comes to a bird, Amy, I'm asking myself, what's a bird?
Eddie
Gavin. A Gavin bird.
Amy
The name Gavin is a masculine name of Welsh and Scottish origin, meaning white hawk or white falcon.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so it's a meaning. I don't know. Yeah, we do have a name.
Eddie
You do?
Guest/Caller
Official.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Like the one.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We're not telling anybody.
Amy
That's cool.
Eddie
I knew it.
Amy
Sick.
Eddie
Sparrow hawk.
Bobby Bones
J. Yeah. Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You guys don't know it.
Eddie
No, we don't.
Amy
Probably best to just not.
Eddie
Yeah, it's probably best.
Bobby Bones
No, it's probably bad. Yes. And I'm not. And I will not tell you, because it's not that I don't love you guys. It's just that I don't love how sometimes things slip up.
Eddie
Get it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So.
Amy
So how long?
Bobby Bones
I don't even want to say right now.
Eddie
Well, I don't even know where you're gonna go with that. How long?
Bobby Bones
How long have you known?
Amy
No, no, no, no. That wasn't my question.
Bobby Bones
Go ahead.
Amy
How long after the baby's born, like, I'm wondering how long. You may try to hold on to the name without saying what it is.
Eddie
Where? On air?
Amy
Anywhere. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
18 years.
Eddie
Oh, it better be.
Commercial/Ad Voice
Like, when they can.
Bobby Bones
When they can vote. I don't know. It's all up to my wife.
Amy
You should do, like, total free range parenting, where you just, like, let them name themselves. Name themselves when they're old enough. Like, you're just the baby. You get to. Hey, free range.
Guest/Caller
You.
Amy
You name yourself.
Bobby Bones
Do, like, Elon Musk and just call it X.
Eddie
The numbers. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And then you just figure it out yourself.
Eddie
We did that with my first kid. Like, we didn't say his name until he was born. And then we came out of the hospital like. All right, family members, here is Gavin. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My dad, who's in his late 50s, just started dating someone my age. I'm 27, and he's planning on bringing her to Thanksgiving at my grandma's. He seems genuinely happy, but I can't wrap my head around it. I want to be supportive, but it feels uncomfortable to watch him with someone who could easily be one of my friends. My mom passed away a few years ago, so it's not jealousy, it's just weird. Do I fake a smile for the sake of the holiday or tell him how uncomfortable that it makes me signed stuffing my feelings? I really don't want to sound insensitive here. I'm going to risk it a bit though, and say, hey, this is very much a you problem. And you are possibly keeping Joy from your dad because you are uncomfortable with something. You deserve to feel uncomfortable. Your feelings are never wrong, it's just how you act on them. But this is not about you. This is about your dad. And so you know what, his wife passed away years ago. Not. Not just your mom, his wife passed away years ago. So you're not experiencing this alone, in a vacuum. I do absolutely understand. It's weird. Weird doesn't mean wrong. You have every right to your feeling, but I don't think you make it harder on him because you're uncomfortable with it. Amy.
Amy
Yeah, no, I think it's okay to have this conversation with him, but Bobby's right. This is definitely something you're going to need to work through. And I. First thing I would want to do is ask my dad, like, hey, are you.
Guest/Caller
Are you.
Amy
Are you happy? And then I want to hear from him. And when. The minute he says yes, then I have to say, okay, I'm just letting you know this is weird for me and it's a little uncomfortable, but I'm going to try my best and like, let's go, let's go do this. Like, let's have a good Thanksgiving.
Bobby Bones
This is a you thing and it sucks. And we are not saying in any way whatsoever you should not feel weird or sad or the. The 11 emotions. Yep. Yeah, you're gonna have. Yeah, it's freaking herbs and spices, all of them in this.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And hey, how about dad?
Lunchbox
Hey.
Bobby Bones
Also a little shout out to dad for getting a 27 year old. This is second. Let's go, pops.
Amy
That is weird, though.
Bobby Bones
That's weird. Weird is not wrong. Always.
Amy
Yes.
Eddie
Is this person against the relationship or just the dinner?
Amy
Probably the age.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Probably all because her mom died.
Guest/Caller
Yes.
Amy
And I think that, yeah, to that point, if he was bringing a woman that was his exact age. She would probably still be uncomfortable because it's something new and it's not her mom.
Bobby Bones
I think she can blame it on the age. Yeah, I mean, I think she would probably feel uncomfortable that he's bringing someone that's not her mom. His.
Amy
Right. And that's natural and normal.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely, yes. You know what? If you weren't feeling that way, that would be. I would be surprised.
Amy
Right?
Bobby Bones
Let's go, pops. That's aside, but yeah, it's. It's about him. This is not so much about you. Don't even make it an issue if you bring guilt on him in any way after you have the initial conversation. If it's weird, that's. That's bad.
Amy
And what's up? Maybe you have a new friend.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you don't even know that's the case. So. Yeah, yeah. To. I don't. I want to be on your side because you listen to the show, but I can't fully be on your side except to say it'll be much healthier if you realize this is a you thing and not a him thing. Now she's like 19. We could talk.
Amy
Oh, that. I would be like, dad, this is sick.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
27 to get help.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Brains develop. Frontal lobe.
Amy
That's right. At around 25. So she's got two years of full.
Bobby Bones
Development in her brain. That's right. All right, there you go. Close it up. They have created an artificial tongue that can accurately detect a food's spiciness. Because people want to know how hot is it before they eat it. So they have an artificial tongue for that. Two things. One, I think it's pretty cool. But two, everything ends up getting used in a dirty way. And don't think I didn't think about that first.
Amy
Oh, that never crossed my mind.
Lunchbox
Of course it wasn't your mom.
Amy
About how everybody's taste buds are so different. So how is this one gonna know how you are?
Bobby Bones
Well, everybody sees things different too. But I think there are levels based on just a standard that's set. Like, because a level three spice for somebody may be a level five for you, but if it's set as a level three, you know how. How hot it is. So inspired by different proteins and how hot they were, they started developing this fake tongue.
Amy
Does it look like a tongue?
Bobby Bones
No, but it definitely could. Cuz it's like a film.
Eddie
It should.
Bobby Bones
I. They should definitely put a piece of rubber and then put the film over the rubber.
Amy
It doesn't need to look like a tongue.
Bobby Bones
And you should have it on, like, a Popsicle stick coming out of the back, and you stick it on stuff, and it tells you how hot it is.
Amy
Like, tongues are. I don't.
Guest/Caller
I don't.
Bobby Bones
You ever eaten a cow tongue?
Amy
No. I don't want to either.
Eddie
That's pretty good, actually.
Bobby Bones
It actually is pretty tasty.
Eddie
Pretty good.
Amy
When did y' all have one?
Eddie
We used to have it all the time.
Amy
Eddie.
Announcer
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why would you say it to Eddie?
Amy
Oh, he.
Bobby Bones
Hey. Hey, Eddie. You're. You're Mexican.
Amy
I have.
Lunchbox
Close.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, ours was. What's left?
Eddie
We gotta eat it.
Bobby Bones
Gotta eat it.
Amy
Yeah. Have you ever had testicles?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, a bunch.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
Those I don't like so much.
Bobby Bones
This is a joke, though.
Eddie
Really? The mountain oysters? Yeah.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what they're called.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It wasn't like, we sat down for Sunday testicles.
Eddie
You're right. It's always like.
Amy
Like Taco Tuesday.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Testicle Tuesday.
Eddie
My dad. My dad's joke was always, like, to eat. Eat it. And be like, well, I'm having a ball.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So researchers figured out an artificial tongue. They can just tell you how hot it is. And mostly it's a system that they can, like, put on the back of something to tell you, you know how there's, like, medium, mild, like salsa. It would just be. This could be used to give you a better indicator of how hot things actually were.
Amy
Sounds like a lot of work.
Eddie
I mean, it's not so bad to try hot stuff, though, right? Like. But say you're, like, at a Mexican restaurant and they had salsa out.
Amy
Take your little tongue with you.
Eddie
No, you just did a little dip, and you're like, oh, that's too hot for me. And then you're good. You don't have to.
Bobby Bones
But I'm not saying. I'm saying you're buying it from a shelf. You don't want to buy a whole bottle of something.
Eddie
You're gonna put the fake tongue in the bottle?
Bobby Bones
No, but the tongue will be able to tell all the products.
Eddie
That's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
The tongue is used to tell how hot things are for products?
Amy
I guess, yes. Do you take the tongue with you to a restaurant?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
The tongue is used, like, it's sold to, like, the companies, and the companies use it to monitor how hot they made it.
Eddie
Oh, it's not for personal use.
Bobby Bones
I mean, like I said, trust me. They'll build a fake tongue and. You know what I'm saying? Jesse Eisenberg. Am you familiar with him? Yeah, you would know him. He Was the guy that was in the Social Network.
Amy
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Curly hair.
Guest/Caller
Yep.
Bobby Bones
So he is donating a kidney.
Amy
What do you know, Eddie?
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
To a stranger?
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
This has been Eddie's dream. And Jesse Eisenberg shocked some folks during an appearance on the Today show. This is from CNN with an announcement. And it wasn't just that he was donating a kidney, because that's a big deal and that's enough to surprise anybody, especially when a celebrity's saying they're doing it. But he was talking about it and he says, I'm donating my kidney in six weeks. And so they said, wow, what's the deal? And he said that he's giving it to a stranger.
Amy
Is it so that somebody else he knows can get bumped up a list?
Bobby Bones
It says nothing about that.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
He said he originally had the idea to donate years, but he never heard back from an organization he approached about doing it. And so he hit up another one, got tested not for a match, but just to see if it was healthy enough. And he's donating a kidney to a stranger.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, your thoughts? This is just something you've always said you wanted to do.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah. Every time I hear stories like that, I'm like, gosh, that sounds awesome. It'd be something I would love to do in the future at some point.
Bobby Bones
What do you think your best body part is? That if someone's like, I really need something. Donate. Like, what would be your favorite, the best part of you to donate if you could.
Amy
This feels like a weird question.
Eddie
Yeah, but think about it. It's interesting.
Bobby Bones
My brain?
Eddie
Yeah, I would say your brain for sure. You have a good brain.
Amy
What about the other parts?
Bobby Bones
You want to eat my testicles?
Amy
No, no, no, no, no. Guys, Bobby's brain doesn't sleep. Like.
Guest/Caller
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but.
Eddie
But he's smart.
Amy
Yeah. Quick, witty.
Bobby Bones
So you're saying it's so worn down. Amy's like you're doing a beat up car.
Amy
No pros of the brain, but there's.
Bobby Bones
You're saying there's more trauma in my brain than there is goodness.
Amy
What do we do?
Bobby Bones
It's just as is the.
Amy
What else donor recipient get.
Bobby Bones
What else on me would they get? And what would you donate from me?
Amy
Well, didn't you get voted like best thighs or something?
Bobby Bones
Not voted. We measured. I had the biggest thighs in the.
Amy
Room and that led to longevity. Yes, right.
Bobby Bones
But my thighs, I mean, I do. I listen, I'm pretty good at leg day, but I don't Think I'm going brain. Even now you're making me feel bad about my brain.
Amy
Your eyes don't come with the brain.
Bobby Bones
Right, My eyes.
Eddie
No, brain's a brain.
Bobby Bones
No, brain's a brain.
Amy
I just didn't know if like full head.
Bobby Bones
Amy keeps finding things wrong with me and it's really making me mad.
Amy
Don't take it personal. I'm just like, definitely not your eyes.
Bobby Bones
Don't take it personal. It's everything personal about me. Okay, Brain. I donate brain. You gotta. You gotta pick a good part of you. It's hard because you get a compliment, something about yourself.
Amy
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
What do you donate?
Amy
My hands?
Bobby Bones
Nah.
Amy
Why?
Bobby Bones
You have better things about you.
Amy
What.
Eddie
So you know what she's gonna say? You know what she should.
Bobby Bones
No, but I just don't think hands is equality for her.
Amy
My. Can. Can I can. I think. Can you go around the room?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Eddie, Mine would probably be my eyes. I've got a good vision.
Lunchbox
I've got.
Eddie
Well, I don't have good vision.
Amy
Are you kidding?
Eddie
Because I have these little like daddy glasses.
Bobby Bones
Eyes. Because they're pretty.
Eddie
No, man, because I. I like, I'm visual. Like I'm a camera guy. Like my eyes. I need glasses.
Bobby Bones
Yes. No, but that's why.
Eddie
But once you have the glasses, you're good, man. Like I'm a visual guy.
Bobby Bones
That's more of a brain thing then. No. Yes.
Eddie
You need your eyes to see, but.
Bobby Bones
Your eyes can't see. That's the difference. Oh, my gosh.
Eddie
I mean.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Well, I mean, I would say tongue, you know, because a lot of ladies have been experienced it and they really like what they stupid.
Bobby Bones
Can you imagine if he got his tongue? No, he probably rejected me.
Eddie
He had a yeast infection.
Bobby Bones
He did have a yeast. That was in my throat.
Lunchbox
That was actually in my throat.
Bobby Bones
But it touched your tongue. Don't worry.
Lunchbox
I'm telling you, this tongue has been in a lot of ladies mouths and none of them were complaining afterwards, I'll tell you that. So I think my tongue would be my A plus.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Amy, back to you.
Amy
Part of my liver.
Eddie
What's wrong? Liver.
Amy
Yeah, I think I have a good liver.
Bobby Bones
What on Eddie, you set your eyes and you can't even see.
Eddie
What do you mean? Dude?
Bobby Bones
I just. Glasses.
Eddie
I just need glasses. But once you have the glasses, my eyes are awesome.
Bobby Bones
Amy, Amy, you have great hair.
Amy
I have extensions.
Eddie
Oh, thank you for telling us.
Amy
Well, yeah, I mean, when my hair is short, I do think I have thick hair, though. Like, I just am trying to.
Bobby Bones
She's so negative, even about me in this segment. She's like, your brain. What about all your childhood trauma? Do they get that, like, you try to do a bit here.
Amy
That's why I said my hand.
Eddie
Don't people like your feet?
Amy
That one race car guy did. And then we have that Lister, Tony Stewart.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
And then a listener continues to offer me lots of money for your feet pictures.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so, Jesse Eisenberg, big shout out to you, Eddie, you could surprise us one day and be like, guys, I'm actually doing it. I'm donating a kidney.
Eddie
I know I could.
Bobby Bones
We're waiting for that. Okay, well, keep waiting, Bones. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. As seasons change and days grow darker sooner, it can be a tough time for many this November, Better Help is encouraging everybody to reach out, check in on friends, reconnect with loved ones and remind the people in your life that you're there. Just as it can take a little courage to send that message or grab coffee with someone you haven't seen in a while, reaching out for therapy can be difficult, too. But it is worth it. And it almost always leaves people wondering, why didn't I do this sooner? It's easy to forget the holidays aren't filled with joy for everybody. It can bring a sense of sadness. It can trigger some emotions for some people. That's why it's important to remember to be there for your friends, to be there for your loved ones when you get the opportunity. This holiday season, BetterHelp, I believe in it. It's super easy. It's convenient. It really does work. BetterHelp therapists work according to a strict code of conduct.

Our listeners get 10% off their first month at betterhelp.com Bobby B E T T E R H E L P.com Bobby I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear, no mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group. Even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it. No problem, just edit it and when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big ol mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone Waking up sore after a hard workout can be tough. Having the wrong bed to sleep in after that workout can be even tougher. Life brings changes. Your bed should be able to change too. That's why I recommend the Sleep Number Smart Bed.

Lunchbox
Homer is a bus driver in Donna, Texas, driving the kids to school. You know, and he sees a semi slowing down and it comes to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection. And he's like, what's going on? So he puts the red lights on, gets off the bus, and the semi driver has lost consciousness. So he's like, hey man, wake up, wake up, wake up. Calls 911 keeps the guy conscious until they arrive and they take him to the hospital and he's okay now.
Bobby Bones
Big shout out because I don't know that most people, myself included, would have thought anything other than that person's asleep because the truck was where in the.
Lunchbox
Middle of the intersection, semi going slowly and it came to a stop.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's.
Amy
I might be like, oh, I wonder why they had to stop.
Lunchbox
Ran out of gas and you keep.
Amy
Driving like, oh, that's weir.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. I probably would have done that unless it felt like it was dangerous and swerving. I'd probably been like, oh, that person's price. Like, they dropped their phone and now they're just having to reach down to get it underneath the gas pedal. Like, we haven't all done that. So then you slow. You haven't done that.
Amy
You have it on the highway. Like, that'd be scary to slow down.
Bobby Bones
This is an awesome story. I guess my point is to highlight this bus driver because I don't know that I would have reacted like that.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, shout out, Homer.
Lunchbox
And it's crazy. They just left the kids on the bus, you know, I mean, that's pretty.
Amy
What else are you gonna do?
Lunchbox
No, I know, but he opened the door, you know, the kids get out, I mean, run around the Road. Yeah, but kids sometimes don't listen, right?
Amy
Well, that's true.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. It was good that the kids listened, and he was able to save something.
Bobby Bones
Awesome.
Lunchbox
Good job, Homer.
Bobby Bones
And saved a life. Yes, we love that. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones.
Lunchbox
Weird.
Bobby Bones
When Amy suggested this segment to me, but then the more I thought about it, I thought, okay, I'm in. And I didn't read them all. I just read the first couple. So go 10 to one because you have what?
Amy
Yeah. These are the 10 most painful things that humans can physically experience.
Eddie
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
I saw 10 and nine for sure.
Amy
Yeah. But 10 and 10 still sounds pretty horrible. It's getting your arm chopped off.
Eddie
Oh, that's 10?
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
That's 10.
Eddie
It's going to get worse.
Amy
Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that some of this stuff is more painful than that.
Bobby Bones
And I wonder if you get your arm fully chopped off. Let's just say, because my Arkansas Keith works at a sawmill, and people would, like, lose fingers and stuff, right?
Announcer
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's exactly why. Yes. I would think if an arm got sawed off and it was quick, you'd probably pass out.
Lunchbox
Oh, gosh.
Amy
So my half sister's stepdad lost his arm in a, like, cotton machine.
Bobby Bones
That's pulling it off.
Amy
Oh, I know. I mean, I could text her and.
Bobby Bones
Be like, now you're good. Number nine.
Amy
You know how painful number nine? Number nine is a heart attack.
Eddie
That's painful.
Lunchbox
I think it hurts.
Eddie
Oh, wow. I thought that was just like, I'm going.
Bobby Bones
You know, I thought, I've had a heart attack once. I think it's panic attack or one indigestion. Like, bad indigestion.
Lunchbox
We're like, oh.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I think I met. Oh, I'm good.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Heartburn. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
Amy
Number eight, getting stabbed.
Eddie
Oh, I bet that's terrible.
Bobby Bones
Interesting. Does it. Does it say which parts of the body?
Amy
No, it just says getting.
Bobby Bones
Because if you stab me in the earlobe, I'm gonna be that painful.
Eddie
That's like, ears pierced.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Or the skin on the back of my elbow. If somebody's, like, really mad and they swing a knife at me and they only get the skin on the back of my elbow. I'm like, that didn't even hurt, sucka. But other places, I can imagine in.
Eddie
The movies when people get stabbed in the stomach, that looks bad because their face is always like, yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe, too, because they realize they're dying.
Eddie
Oh, that too.
Amy
You know that skin on the back of your elbow is called wenus?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
She gets stabbed in the wieners.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I bet if you got stabbed in the. Oh, bad too. Yep. Okay.
Guest/Caller
Okay.
Amy
7. Getting shot in the chest.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that. That seems like it hurts.
Amy
Getting hit by a car at 30 miles per hour.
Bobby Bones
Did they lift it up? It's 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. At 40 miles an hour, 50 miles.
Eddie
An hour all the way to 1.
Amy
Yes. I wonder if the faster, the less painful because it's just like it's over.
Eddie
You don't even feel it.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Now this was interesting to me because the number five is passing a kidney stone.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy
Or kidney stones, plural. And what's crazy is I had one of those full body scans and I have kidney stones, but I've never passed them. And so I wait for the day.
Bobby Bones
I'd like to ask a question that is fully uninformed. I feel like this is my feeling and then my question. I feel like it's way more painful for a guy to pass one than a woman because our holes are smaller and not meant for things to come out.
Eddie
Stop.
Lunchbox
No, it's true.
Eddie
It's the same size hole.
Amy
No, I don't think it is crazy.
Eddie
It's got to be the same.
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Do you think a baby could come out of your.
Amy
Bobby, the baby doesn't come out of the pee hole.
Bobby Bones
No, I know, but I'm just saying.
Amy
Just making sure.
Bobby Bones
No, no, but I'm just saying it's got to go that direction.
Amy
Okay. I don't know.
Eddie
Is the same size.
Lunchbox
It is generally harder for a man to pass a kidney stone due to anatomical differences.
Bobby Bones
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.
Eddie
Women have larger P holes.
Bobby Bones
No. The only way out of us is that P hole.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
Or the other one.
Amy
So B hole.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I would think it would be harder for a dude.
Eddie
Okay.
Lunchbox
And it has to do with the urethra. The males. Urethra, whatever.
Amy
Yalls. Urethra is smaller, 20 cm long.
Bobby Bones
R, E, S, P, E, C, T.
Lunchbox
And the female's only four, so it has to travel longer for a male, so it's more painful.
Eddie
Okay.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
I just feel like all that down there in a woman is a little more elastic.
Amy
This isn't number. Like, maybe they didn't put these in order of pain because.
Eddie
Yeah, the heart attack.
Bobby Bones
If next one is paper cut, I'm out.
Eddie
Maybe reading it backwards.
Amy
If passing a guinea is more painful than. Than getting my arm chopped off, it could be, though.
Bobby Bones
Because you might pass out.
Lunchbox
You're right. My brother had kidney stones. And, I mean, the dude couldn't. I mean, he was in bed for, like, weeks. Like, he couldn't.
Bobby Bones
My buddy got his arm chopped off. Was doing a dance competition the next week.
Lunchbox
I mean, there's that one guy. He chopped his own arm off and was able to walk back to safety.
Bobby Bones
He broke it off.
Amy
Now we probably want to call my sister Kim.
Eddie
He broke it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's tough. Okay.
Amy
Number four, getting kicked in the nuts.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's probably one. I feel like this has been underrated. You guys have no idea. Getting kicked in the nuts, far worse than getting a shot in the chest while your arms getting chopped off.
Eddie
Yes, because the pain doesn't stay in that area. It's everywhere.
Bobby Bones
Imagine this. Imagine there's a boiling cauldron of acid. Okay, good. No, just. Just imagine it. And as you're getting dropped in the acid, somebody hit you in the head with a 2x4. Got it.
Amy
Got it.
Bobby Bones
And then someone shoots you in the chest and then points and laps. That's the same as getting kicked in the nut.
Eddie
That's it.
Bobby Bones
But you don't know.
Amy
No, you're right. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
All right, next at number three, childbirth. Not switch those two, but. Okay.
Amy
Okay, so I texted my sister. She's passed kidney stones, and she's now given birth. She said the kidney stone is much worse.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Amy
Wow. Because she gave birth with no medication, right? No, she had the epidural, so that's where it helps.
Bobby Bones
Probably a factor, too, is how big the kidney stones are. Honestly. Yeah, A bigger kidney stone, probably. Like, my friend had a kidney stone. Eight pounds, three ounces. That's a baby. Oh, my bad. I got that confused. I got that confused. I would switch, but here's the thing. I'm kidding. Because we don't know. A guy can never know what it's like to have a baby, and a woman can never know what it's like to get kicked in the nuts. Go ahead, guys.
Amy
These are definitely not in order.
Lunchbox
No, they are.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. For sure.
Amy
Okay. And number two, I mean, this sounds pretty bad, but I feel like you just pass out. Getting hit by a train at 80 miles per hour.
Bobby Bones
That sounds right. That's number.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So bad.
Lunchbox
Like, how do. How do you think that feels? What could be worse?
Bobby Bones
There's a whole song about that, too. I want to know how getting it with a train feels. Number one.
Amy
Number one, this just.
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Amy
This is the worst.
Bobby Bones
Give it up.
Amy
Getting burnt Alive.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's.
Bobby Bones
This is in order then?
Lunchbox
That's in order.
Amy
Well, yeah, that part feels right.
Bobby Bones
But the only two I would switch are the birth and the nuts. Other than that order.
Eddie
Did you ever burn your hand, like on the oven, like your whole body burnt? Oh, gosh.
Amy
So my dad got third degree burns all over his body because he was underneath a. A gas stove like oven thing at a restaurant, trying to like fix it, and it blew up on him and he had to get. He was in Colorado, in a tiny town. And so they had to, you know, starflight him to Denver or something. And when. By the time he got back to Austin, I was a little girl and I just remember he looked like a mummy.
Announcer
His.
Amy
But he was wrapped like head to toe and his face was like charcoal looking. And then white gauze everywhere else.
Lunchbox
And third degree is the worst, right?
Bobby Bones
Third degree.
Amy
Second and third degree. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So like first degree murder is the worst. The third degree burns. We've been through this.
Lunchbox
No, we had this talk the other day and now I was confused.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no, I think because of how deep it burns.
Amy
Yes. Like there was parts once he healed, like he didn't have hair in those areas because like there. And the skin was all discolored, like sort of pale pink.
Bobby Bones
Hey, thanks for that segment. That was good.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I want to go over to Janet, who is listening in New York. Hey, Janet, you're on the show.
Janet
I have a marriage rule that my husband and I have used for the past 27 years.
Bobby Bones
All right, give it to us.
Janet
Only one of us can be crazy at a time. And when the one is crazy, the other one has to support them.
Bobby Bones
Give me an example.
Janet
If you just get spun up about something at work or something uncontrollable, whatever is kind of creating a great amount of angst or stress or whatever, you get to get that out and the other person has to support you.
Bobby Bones
I feel that in theory, that's great. I just know that I can't predict when I'm feeling odd off or crazy. And so I know with my wife if she's ever feeling odd off, hormonal, hungry, who knows that sometimes crazy happens to me. Crazy, I mean, and that's. That's a cold front, meaning a warm front, then tornado happens type thing. So that's hard. If you're both feeling that way, how do one of you suppress that? If one do you call it. It's like dib. Like shotgun crazy. I call crazy. So you can't be.
Amy
I'm crazy first.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. Like how do you deal with that if you're both feeling a bit off?
Janet
It has happened that independently. We've gotten spun up about something and we actually timed it. Okay, when did yours start first? And when the other person came out, it was like, okay, can I go now? Yep, you can go now.
Bobby Bones
I like that because there is an absolute boundary of. Here's the line when I got crazy, and it's before yours, so I'm going to go. And then when I'm complete, you shall go. I like that.
Amy
That reminds me of the advice I shared at your rehearsal dinner. Do you remember?
Bobby Bones
We can't stop talking about it. But hold on. Of course I remember. But for those that don't, over there.
Eddie
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Would you mind telling them?
Eddie
Remind them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I remembered, of course, because for all of us who do, but for everybody else who doesn't remember, just share with them.
Amy
Okay, so you guys are gonna love this.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna stop thinking about it since.
Amy
It'S so good now. This is not the same thing, but it reminded me of it. And it's from Brene Brown and something she does in her marriage of a lot of times. You know, her marriage is 50, it's 100. So, okay, fine. If you look at a marriage as, yes, you've got 100%. But, you know, one day, Bobby, you know, Caitlyn calls you and she's like, I mean, I can barely keep it together. Like, I'm. There's so much going on. I'm spiraling. I think I've got about 10% in the tank. Then, Bobby, you get to come in and let her know where you are. And if you're having a solid day and you're like, hey, I got you. Because I've got 90%, boom. Together, we're 100. Like, whatever you need. Just, I can help you. However, you might be having a day where you're, like, shooting. I'm at 10% too. So together as a team, you're operating at 20%, which is no good. And that's when you work together and you look at the calendar and you're like, okay, what do we have? What can we move around? What can we cancel? Do we need to cook dinner tonight? Let's throw. Like, if we got fresh food, throw it in the freezer so it doesn't go bad, and we'll just order food or we'll go out. Like, make life as simple as possible that you can so you can survive the next 24 hours or whatever it is to get back to 100% instead of exhausting yourselves, like, oh, shoot, well, we had dinner plans with, you know, Cindy and Kurt.
Bobby Bones
Here's one thing. One thing we're bad at at this show is coming up with contemporary names. When we're doing the story. Like, it doesn't matter what the story is. Like, we're launching names that weren't even names when we were kids. We're picking names off, like, the Munsters and Brady Bunch of 1700s or comic strips.
Amy
Right, right. But you're like, oh, we don't. You know, we're supposed to go out with Cindy and Kurt, but it's really not that big of a deal. So you can cancel on Cindy and Kurt, you know, just to, like, so y' all can have. Maybe you need to take a bath. Maybe you need to read a book. Maybe you need to go to bed early. Like, whatever you can do to, you know, refuel so that you can survive the day or the week or whatever. And so it's just a. It's a percentage communication thing with your partner.
Bobby Bones
I like it, and I haven't stopped thinking about it since the rehearsal dinner.
Lunchbox
I see how you haven't forgotten that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And so for everybody else that didn't remember that, I'm glad that you could be reintroduced.
Guest/Caller
Yeah.
Lunchbox
That was incredible.
Bobby Bones
Words to live by.
Lunchbox
Very short and sweet.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, hey, not really what she's known.
Amy
For, but I feel like for. For me, that was concise.
Guest/Caller
Yeah.
Amy
Like, I delivered that in the most concise way that I possibly could.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Janet, really appreciate that you've been married for how long did you say?
Janet
27 years.
Amy
Okay. Well, she knows what's up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Good for you.
Amy
Like, happily.
Bobby Bones
Well, 22 of those. That's usually what someone says today.
Guest/Caller
Yeah.
Janet
But, yeah, mostly.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Janet, we really appreciate you listening. Thank you for the call and hope you have an awesome day.
Janet
Thank you. I hope you all do, too.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group, even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it. No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big old mess, it just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone.

Bobby Bones
Lunchbox has been going to the doctor. He's got this pain and it's like on his left hip. Where would you say it is? Lunchbox?
Lunchbox
It is if you go to your belly button and go about 6 inches to your left. Right there above the waistline.
Bobby Bones
Okay, everybody feeling that?
Lunchbox
Got it.
Bobby Bones
So he's got this pain that has been happening over and over again. When does it hurt the most?
Lunchbox
Just when I'm moving. Like if I stretch, if I get out of bed, get off the couch. I mean anything, it's anything. It's just a constant pain. It's been there for about four months.
Bobby Bones
Does it hurt right now?
Lunchbox
If I pull my arm up, it hurts.
Amy
But like on a scale of 1 to 10 because you didn't look that.
Lunchbox
No, no, no. It's not like I'm in dire pain right then, but I can feel it. It's an annoying pain, but if I try to go like run 50 yards, it's like a sharp pain.
Bobby Bones
Okay. He needs a nice start with all the smiley faces and he's got to pick the one that he feels.
Amy
Yes. The level of pain.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Okay, so we've been talking about this because he went to the doctor, they said nothing. You went back to another doctor? They said nothing. He went back to another doctor.
Eddie
What?
Lunchbox
They say, oh, yeah, just do some. It's probably your pelvic floor. Just google some YouTube videos.
Bobby Bones
The fact that you're going to doctors, and over and over they're just telling you to Google and YouTube stuff. Are you going to real doctors?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I'm going to real doctors. I find them on Google. And so then I made. They said, oh, maybe it's just gas. I'm like, I've had four months of gas. They said, yeah, you should go see a gastroenterologist. Gastroenterologist. I don't know how you say it. Yeah, so I made my appointment and I went, so wait, so then you.
Bobby Bones
Went to that doctor?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I just went to that. The gastroenterologist this week.
Amy
Gastro.
Eddie
Is that what it is?
Amy
Gastroenterologist.
Bobby Bones
So what'd the gastroenterologist tell you?
Lunchbox
He comes in and he's like, here? Yeah, I don't think it has anything to do with your colon, but we'll give you a colonoscopy next week. I'm like, wait, wait, what? And he's like, yeah, I. I don't think it's anything to do with your colon, but might as well get in there and give you a colonoscopy.
Amy
Did you tell him that some listeners had thought it could be diverticulitis?
Lunchbox
Yeah, and he told me that he's a doctor and they're not and that.
Bobby Bones
It'S a great point.
Lunchbox
And he literally said. He goes, yeah, I don't think it's anything with gastro, but, you know, we'll go in there and just take a look anyway. Like, wait a minute. I came in here for you to give me a solution, and you just bait and switched me. It's like I got conned into signing up for a colonoscopy.
Amy
No, no, no, no. Okay, listen, this could be one of those things where, like, I knew of someone once where they fell off a horse and broke their collarbone.
Bobby Bones
And.
Amy
And then when they went to the doctor, they found a tumor right there by the collarbone, and they wouldn't have found it unless they broke their collarbone. So what if they go in for the colonoscopy lunchbox doesn't feel like he really needs that at this moment. But what if this is the thing that leads you to finding the other thing?
Lunchbox
I see what you're saying, but the doctor is the one that said, oh, I don't think it has anything to do with your colon.
Amy
That's what I'm saying. Like, the pain, whatever they find has nothing to do with the left of your belly button. It could be something totally different, but they discover it because of this.
Bobby Bones
This.
Amy
You have to do it.
Lunchbox
Oh, I'm like, I'm very confused on how we went from. Hey, it has nothing to do with your colon. You're fine. You need to go see a different doctor, too. Oh, but we're going to do your colonoscopy. Like, what? Like, if it's not my colon, why am I doing a colonoscopy?
Amy
Because it could be good to discover what's hiding.
Bobby Bones
I would take a tube and go up every hole in your body.
Lunchbox
Whoa. I don't know about that. So, yeah, I. I don't know. That's interesting.
Eddie
Weird.
Lunchbox
I just want to be safe.
Bobby Bones
Go in the hole in the front. The back. Go. Yeah, yeah.
Amy
You're middle 40s. It's time. Have you ever had a colonoscopy?
Bobby Bones
You ever had a full, whole, whole search?
Lunchbox
No. He said that, you know, you start getting colonoscopies at 45. And so he goes, but we'll just get it out of the way. Why not? And I'm like, what? Like, huh?
Bobby Bones
I support this lunchbox's impressions of every one of his doctors. Feels like he goes to the all.
Eddie
The three stooges, and they're all lazy. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
What do you know?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I mean, does it not sound that way when he tells you after he presses on the area and it's like, yeah, I don't think it's your colon, but we'll get you in next week for a colonoscopy.
Bobby Bones
But we don't know how it sounds because we just hear an impression you're doing of him.
Lunchbox
Right. But, I mean, when someone tells you, hey, it's not this, but we're still gonna have you come in for this procedure. It's like, they just want my money.
Amy
No, you're gonna need to get one at 45. Anyway, he's saying, let's just go ahead and knock it out now get a colonoscopy.
Bobby Bones
It's not that hard.
Lunchbox
Do it.
Bobby Bones
I've had one.
Amy
You're doing.
Bobby Bones
It's weird. The day before when you're having to drink whatever concoction and, you know, clear everything out, that. That stinks. But it's fine. You go in, you put a little dress on, you lay in the bed.
Eddie
They put a dress on.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, one of those little gown.
Eddie
Oh, got it. Got it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I wore a dress. They gave you an option. You wear a Gown or you go for. Yeah, I wore a prom dress. I'd always wanted to. And so then you wake up, and the next thing you know, you're wheeled out of there. When do you have your colonoscopy?
Lunchbox
We set it up for next week, like on a Tuesday. So.
Amy
So he's not gonna be here?
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Lunchbox
It's not like. No, no. They do them all day. Man, you're gonna be good.
Amy
You can't come to work also, it's.
Bobby Bones
Not like a froyo place. You can't get it at any time.
Eddie
Why can't he come to work?
Amy
Because he's gonna be going to the bathroom. Oh, all the time.
Lunchbox
No, literally, they said, oh, we got 8:00am we got 10:00am, 1:00pm, 2:00pm I mean, I'm like. Like, it only takes 15 minutes. Real quick, in and out.
Bobby Bones
15 minutes?
Amy
Yeah, but it's 24 hours of prep before that. 15 minutes, like, but also, yes, you have to get there. They have to sedate you. It's not like.
Bobby Bones
I don't know he's gone to a single doctor. When hearing all these stories, I know.
Lunchbox
I'm concerned, and I, I. He was like, did you get any imaging done? I was like, yeah, here's my CT scan. I had it on a disc. You know, he goes.
Bobby Bones
He's like, here's my kids pictures.
Lunchbox
We don't have a CD rom. I won't be able to look at that.
Eddie
You had it on a cd.
Bobby Bones
He brought up a floppy.
Eddie
I burned it.
Lunchbox
That's. That's common practice in the medical industry. I'm learning this.
Bobby Bones
We're rooting for you.
Lunchbox
Well, these doctors aren't. I'll tell you what.
Bobby Bones
I don't think that you are translating what and how they're saying to us in the way they're saying it, honestly. But I hope they find out what's wrong.
Lunchbox
Thank you. Because, I mean, I'm giving you two word for word and inflection. Perfect.
Bobby Bones
I have. My surgery is next week, too.
Amy
For sure.
Bobby Bones
For sure.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And my doctors have all said, you have an actual issue and we should get it fixed.
Eddie
None of your doctors said, like, I.
Bobby Bones
Don'T know, what the heck, let's just cut in there and see what we find.
Amy
You don't really need it, but we're gonna go ahead and put some cadaver tendons in you anyway.
Bobby Bones
How would you like a third ankle?
Amy
Oh, no. It's cartilage, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
So what do you have to do to prep for your surgery?
Bobby Bones
I'm not sure. Yet. But I don't know.
Amy
Well, how can we support you?
Lunchbox
You can't.
Bobby Bones
I don't need support.
Eddie
Can we get you, like, get well soon Balloons?
Bobby Bones
If you show up with balloons and a teddy bear when it's an. When it's an outpatient procedure at the doctor's office, you just chase me home in the car. Okay. Lunchbox. We're rooting for you, buddy. I know it's been a lot of process.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Good luck. And I don't think you realize what you're getting into. If you just think you're gonna go and walk in and walk out, it's gonna be a pretty tough 24 hours leading up to it. Oh, I would have had it scheduled on a Friday. Like, I'm doing mine.
Amy
Oh, yours is on a Friday?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it has to be.
Eddie
That's smart.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I was like, I can't do anything except on a Friday after work because I have a job.
Lunchbox
He told me one o', clock. So I thought, okay, no big deal.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Mine said, can you do a Tuesday or Wednesday? I said, I cannot. I can only do Fridays. And they're like, gotcha. We'll give you the last surgery on Friday.
Eddie
Perfect. It's good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
It's responsible.
Bobby Bones
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's time for the Good News with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.
Eddie
Sixteen members of the U.S. naval Academy, class of 1975, decided to raise some money for charity. What did they do? They got on their bikes and they rode 1200 miles from Florida all the way to Annapolis.
Bobby Bones
Bicycles.
Eddie
Bicycles. It took them 30 days to do it. They're all in their 70s. They're not young. They rode their bikes, and when they got there, there was a huge party because it was their 50th class reunion. So friends, family, they shot cannons. It was a huge thing. And best of all, they raised one. $160,000.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome.
Amy
It's legit.
Bobby Bones
1200 miles is a long way. Yeah. My wife did a charity bike ride once, and I don't know how far it was. It was all through the state of Texas, and you had to spend the night, like a tent or something? This is. Not that I'm not comparing the two, but the reason I think about it is you know how whenever you see, like, a bike race or even a run or a swim, and everybody's all clam together at the very beginning and they're, like, off. So she was in that and somebody, like, hit her and she flipped over, like, head over and Broke her wrist, shatter her hand. And they were just like stuck in like Waco or something. And so she had to finish like the next 200 miles with. So she has like bolts in her hand still from the race.
Eddie
Yeah, that's like Tour de France stuff right there.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
When all of them tumble over like that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was for charity.
Eddie
That's good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah. And I'm not comparing the two, but when I think of these bike races, I think about how you get injured. Also, when I did triathlons, I didn't know how to change a tire and I remember thinking if my body I get a flat, I'm done. So yeah, yeah, just like I just have to just quit it because I don't know how to change a tire. And yeah, shout out to these guys. Also one more thing that comes to mind. 1975.
Eddie
1975.
Bobby Bones
That's 50 years. I know, man, we weren't even born then. But still that's.
Eddie
No, I was not born then.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you weren't?
Eddie
Nope. I knew you were going to say that, Amy.
Amy
I mean, yeah, I said it, but I mean everybody was singing it.
Bobby Bones
That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Bone wake up. You wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. This wig's next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the now time for the morning corny.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.
Amy
What did the alien say to the cat?
Bobby Bones
What did the alien say to the cat?
Amy
Take me to your litter.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning corning.
Amy
Get it? Like leader.
Eddie
Well, he loves aliens. He likes.
Lunchbox
That's right.
Bobby Bones
On his island.
Amy
Honestly, I was like, this joke is kind of dumb. Bobby liked it.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bone show story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Bath, New York. A 33 year old man was at the bank drive thru and it was taking longer than he wanted it to. So when they finally little said, hello sir, how can I help you today? He lit a cigar, stuck it in the little tube and sent it into the bank. And so when the employee opened it. Oh, smoke all in their face. And they had to be treated for smoke inhalation.
Eddie
What?
Amy
Really?
Eddie
That's too much.
Lunchbox
No, no, they did.
Bobby Bones
They said this guy's a moron. But smoke inhalation coming out of one of those little tubes?
Eddie
No chance.
Bobby Bones
Someone's being a tad bit dramatic.
Lunchbox
They said the bank teller had to be treated by emergency personnel for smoke.
Bobby Bones
Did the bank teller, open it and start huffing it, because there's no way. Again, I don't want the story to be shifted, because that guy sucks.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But also, it looks like someone's trying to get a few paid days off work.
Amy
Yeah, well, we don't know.
Eddie
Well, you get an idea.
Bobby Bones
You're right. Mostly we don't, but yeah. Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones.
Bobby Bones
My wife's new code word for hey, would you get up and get me some food? Is. Wherever I am in the house. I get a text going, hey, do you know if the kitchen's open?
Amy
Is it open for business?
Eddie
I would hate that.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's annoying.
Bobby Bones
It's funny to me because it's.
Amy
I don't think it's annoying. Why would it be annoying?
Eddie
Because you know what she means.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, and she could just be like, hey, go make me some toast.
Eddie
And you're like, yes, ma'.
Guest/Caller
Am.
Amy
Yeah, but she's being.
Bobby Bones
She's being funny.
Amy
Funny. Yeah. She's got whimsy.
Bobby Bones
There's some whimsy there. And sometimes It'll be like 9:45, and I'm, like, half asleep. But you're like, hey, if I'm even in the bed. Because sometimes I sleep upstairs. Hey, can I ask you a question? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. Yeah. What's up? Do you know if the kitchen's open?
Eddie
And then what do you say?
Bobby Bones
Last time I checked, they all went home.
Eddie
Everyone's gone.
Bobby Bones
She's like. She's like, is there any way you could call, like, just anybody? Like, you don't have to call the main chef, but even just, like, somebody who works in the kitchen. And I'm like, well, like, what. What. What food do you desire? Kind of. It just depends. And she's like, I did toast with some butter and maybe some orange juice filled up to the brim. Yeah, I can call someone, Open it up.
Guest/Caller
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So it's funny. Cause she easily could just say, hey, would you go make me food now? What? She's pregnant, right? That's what you do. You just get pregnant. You just go do crap for people. But, yeah, that's her latest that I.
Eddie
You know, my wife tells me and drives me nuts. She says, do you want to do the dishes tonight?
Guest/Caller
No.
Lunchbox
And I'm like, no, I don't want.
Bobby Bones
To, but I will sometimes. She'll say, do you want to sleep upstairs tonight? And I'm like, no, I don't. I definitely don't. So if you would like me to tell, right? Because I do not want to sleep upstairs because that bed sucks in the guest room. And then she's like, well we should get a new bed for the guest room so you can make it comfortable. And I'm like no, that means I'm up there even more. Then that means it's gonna be like my place. We're done. Bye everybody. The Bobby Bone Show Theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry.
