Hey, I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday Show Morning Studio Morning Bones. A combination of two of my favorite kinds of stories, Psychic stories and wedding stories. So a bride uninvited half of her wedding guests two weeks before the ceremony because her psychic told her that having more than 80 guests would disrupt the spiritual alignment of the union.
Amy
Oh, my. Is the husband, like, too late? Is it too late? Or the fiance?
Bobby Bones
A bride in Asheville caused chaos by slashing her wedding from 200 to 75 people just two weeks before the ceremony. I wonder if the husband knew she was so into the psychic. Right? Like you kind of know it.
Amy
Or numbers.
Bobby Bones
Do some people sneak around to psychics?
Amy
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure a lot of people keep it quiet. Especially if you work in their government.
Bobby Bones
No, from their husband, though.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You think there are people that sneak around to psychics? So she comes home and she's like, I just have this feeling we need to uninvite everybody.
Amy
Well, yeah. I mean, he's probably going to want an explanation. So she probably says, you know, my psychic told me. But I bet there are people out there that see a psychic and their partner has no idea.
Eddie
That's cheating.
Bobby Bones
If you're not. I don't. Yes.
Amy
It's being dishonest.
Eddie
It's cheating, man. Like, because that's. You're someone you're definitely not.
Amy
Yeah. Like, if you're making big, major life decisions based on your psychic and you're not including your partner in, like, oh. And they're like, well, why do you feel that way, babe? And you're just like, I don't know. I just do. But, like, really, you're taking advantage of psychic.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but the psychic part's weird. I don't want to stand up for a psychic because I think it's all bull crap. But what if you have a life coach and your life coach is telling you this type of stuff? And I think life coaches, for the most part, are Crocs, too, but not all. But is that still cheating? Or is it cheating more because psychic's weird?
Eddie
I think it's just the fact that you're not telling your spouse that you're getting all this feelings and information.
Amy
Like, do they know about the life coach?
Bobby Bones
Well, let's say they don't. Okay.
Amy
But a life coach is, let's hope, giving you tools, and you come to a conclusion, and they're Giving you step by step guidance. A psychic might be like, this is gonna happen in your future, so you need to do this. Like, you're basically like, the. The data they're giving is different.
Bobby Bones
But our life coach is kind of full of crap like psychics, though, for the most part. Otherwise. Otherwise they go to school and get a degree and be a therapist.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I think I have a different take on life coaches now that when.
Eddie
What.
Amy
One of my best friends is a therapist. Like, she has her major frustrations with that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I have a big frustration with it. Be a therapist if you want a therapy bee.
Amy
Yeah, Yeah. I guess I just also know some good.
Bobby Bones
I think your friends have good advice. I have great advice.
Amy
And my cousin is a psychic.
Eddie
Oh, that's true.
Bobby Bones
That's true.
Amy
I. I don't know. I. I just think that transparency with your partner about it is imperative.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'm still on the part where I think life coaches are crying. So apparently, she used a. An energy compatibility to decide who could attend the wedding, Cutting many who did not fit in the energy compatibility chart, including some of the groom's extended family and the bridesmaid's parents, who had already booked travel.
Amy
The bright. The bridesmaids. Oh, okay. The parents. Okay.
Bobby Bones
When the bridesmaid refused to attend without her parents, the bride accused her of choosing fear over love. It sounds like she's a David crush kind of cult.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
Like, the psychic has grabbed a hold of her. I'm not even sure it's not a life coach. You know life coaches are Crocs, right?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They're just people who think they give good advice.
Amy
I. I know some quality. I think that you can't. It's gray. It's not black and white. Like, they're all terrible.
Eddie
Elvis had a life coach. I saw an interview with that guy. He looked like he's shady.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I will say not all of anything is anything. So I stand by that. Not all of anything is anything but life coaches. If someone's like, yeah, I'm a. I'm a life coach. I'm like, oh, you didn't want to finish school? Oh, you think you can just give good advice? I mean, I've had some life experiences. I don't think I'm. I should be a life coach. I can give people some advice on certain situations.
Amy
Yeah. I think that some people have seen it as if I were a life.
Bobby Bones
Coach, I'd just say I was a psychic.
Amy
I'll be honest with you.
Bobby Bones
If I were a life coach, I would just say I was a psychic. Yeah, because then it feels like you're not trying to be a fake therapist.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Anyway, this part. This woman's crazy.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Crazy.
Amy
That's why I'm saying this woman needs a life coach. Do you think he's still gonna marry her?
Bobby Bones
I just. I, I, I, I would think if.
Amy
Your partner came to you and said.
Bobby Bones
Babe, I would think he knows she's nutty. If you're getting married to her, you've got to know their nutty tendencies. In this with just days before the wedding, about 30 guests that plan to attend disengaged. The bride wrote something on social media about honoring her truth. I don't know. She's nuts. What was that's from People.
Eddie
What was the chart she's talking about? Energy chart.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Find you one. It's called an energy compatibility chart.
Eddie
I need.
Bobby Bones
Laughs. I'm not even saying there aren't people who can't gauge other people's energy, Even though I don't know what that is. I'm never gonna say anything's everything's, everything's anything. But I do think, for the most part, all that's bull crap. And people just use it as a way to scam people out of money. Psychics, life coaches. But not my cousin Raymundo telling me to buy GoPro stocks. And I did, and I bought GoPro. Now I'm down all this money. Yeah, Bones had my foot in cast since Friday. It's been pretty annoying. I didn't take any pain medicine yesterday to try to gut through it, but I realized that was kind of a bad move. It kind of sucks. The pain medicine I took last night is definitely still, like, ringing in my ears right now. It also puts a bad taste in my mouth. You ever take pain medicine, Amy, and it makes makes your mouth taste bad?
Amy
I mean, I've taken it before. I don't recall any weird taste, though.
Bobby Bones
H. It can't be, like, spoiled oatmeal or anything I had this morning. I did eat some old oatmeal this morning, but I think it was the pain medicine, but it's kind of sucked. I had surgery on Friday on my ankle. I don't remember much about it. I went in, signed some papers, dedicated my organs if they wanted them. If it went wrong, they had to do the whole legal spill where it was like, if we mess up and you die, do you promise it's not our fault? And I was like, I promise.
Amy
But, I mean, you can't promise that. What if it is Their fault.
Bobby Bones
Well, then they don't have surgery on you. Okay, so again, I don't remember much. They do a lot to you for just an ankle surgery. So there's a picture on my Instagram, and I'm in the bed, and I got a hair net on, it looks like. And I'm all. I'm all the way naked except for my underwear and a gown. I was glad I got to keep my underwear on because I had a. I had a heavy fear of them looking at my wiener while I was sleeping. But I came out and the doctor's like, all right, you are good to go. Don't let your foot go below your heart, basically, because it's gonna hurt like crazy. And so I gotta keep my foot propped up the whole time, so I'm.
Amy
Gotta keep that blood flowing.
Bobby Bones
It sucks because I tried yesterday to sit down at, like, the bar in our kitchen and let my foot hang. It hurt for, like, two hours. So it's been pretty miserable. I don't know what else to say, except I get it checked out on Friday. And if. Because they had to glue the hole together, basically, and put cadaver cartilage in my ankle. I think by Friday they can tell if it's taking. And then I move out of the. This big. Can you see my cast?
Eddie
No, I can zoom out.
Amy
What do you do if it doesn't take? You have to go back.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if it doesn't take. I don't know if that's even the term take.
Amy
Well, I think because you're putting a foreign somebody else's thing to your body. I get it. It has to do its thing. So if it doesn't. I guess I was just curious. It never occurred to me that it might not take.
Bobby Bones
What didn't occur to me either until right now.
Eddie
So they may have to go in and, like, read.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I shouldn't say that. All I know is I have to go back in Friday.
Amy
Maybe if it doesn't take, all you have to do is just, like, re. Glue again a little bit or just, like, massage it or talk to it.
Eddie
And does doesn't take mean, like, the cadaver is like, no, not gonna be in here.
Amy
Bobby's.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like a heart.
Amy
Reject it.
Eddie
Dang.
Bobby Bones
Because sometimes bodies reject organs. Wow. What if they reject this cadaver cartilage in my ankle?
Eddie
Would that hurt your feelings a little bit? Like, what, My body's not good enough for you?
Bobby Bones
You know, the only thing I thought about was I've had to like, lean on my heel a few times. And the doctor's been like, you can lean on your heel, but you can only put 20% pressure if you have to for any reason. It almost fell yesterday. And so now I'm wondering if, like, I reheard it, but I think I'm in my own head. But anyway, I've just been doing nothing. I laid around all weekend. It kind of sucks. It sucks to lay around when you don't want to lay around, but it's awesome to lay around when you can get up and do other stuff. But. Right. I'm gonna live. I just am not really able to leave my house yet. And the doctor was like, if you're taking pain medicine, you can't drive. And I couldn't sleep last night, so I took pain medicine, so I couldn't drive into work. So I'm working from home. There you go.
Eddie
Can you drive anyway with that big old foot?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because of my left foot, I could.
Eddie
Oh, yeah, good point.
Bobby Bones
I don't drive. I don't have a standard.
Eddie
Good point. You're not pushing a clutch.
Bobby Bones
So that's the update. Any other questions? Amy?
Amy
Yeah, I would just recommend you not be a rebel anymore. It sounds like.
Bobby Bones
That's not a question. That's not a question.
Amy
Well, it's a statement, because I am shocked. He's like, keep your foot elevated. And you're like, but I was sitting at the bar yesterday and I just.
Bobby Bones
Wanted to let my foot hang just for a minute.
Amy
I know, but then you said, every.
Bobby Bones
Time I go anywhere, I've got to, like, put my. Find something to put my foot in. And so it's annoying. I thought for five minutes, I'll eat something and sit in the chair. Sit in a chair like a normal person. It's killing me, Amy.
Eddie
Yesterday, he was like, man, I was at the bar and I put my foot down. Like, what are you doing at a bar?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I was at the bar of my house. My bad. So for all the messages, thank you very much. All the nice get better soons I have. I'm not dying. I know I'm not dying, but I don't think that I'm going to be mobile at all this week when I thought I'd be able to, like, bounce right up on Monday and go right back to it.
Amy
Well, so I take it based on this, like, there's no Dancing with the Stars.
Bobby Bones
I know. I can't go. The doctor thinks I'll get a blood clot in my leg if I fly. He said that he Said that's a fear. Yeah. To fly as quickly after a surgery.
Eddie
Okay, your doctors sound different than lunchbox's doctors.
Bobby Bones
I don't care what you do, let me know.
Eddie
Not my problem.
Amy
Flying could be fun.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. He advised against it because you can get blood clots when you fly and it being right after a surgery. So no, I'm not gonna go. Which kind of sucks because I was looking forward to that.
Amy
Yeah, just poor timing. Good for you, prioritizing your body.
Bobby Bones
Dude, I can't do anything. Even if I wanted to go, like, I can't. I can't do anything. It sucks. I feel like I'm just trapped in these chairs. I got this humongous blow up pillow that Katelyn got me. So when I sleep, she actually slept upstairs last night. And usually I sleep upstairs because she's been pregnant and can't sleep. But once I. Once I'm in the bed, I can't really get out without help. And she got this big inflatable pillow, and so it stays in the bed and my foot stays jacked up on it the whole night. But I like to sleep on my side. And so I'm trying to roll the pillow like halfway and hold it at an angle. It's a disaster in my house right now, but people have been through a lot worse. That's what I keep telling myself. I don't know how much worse because it feels pretty terrible. But yeah, that's what I have to cancel therapy today because I can't drive.
Amy
What about Zoom?
Bobby Bones
Also, I can't think. I'm not even thinking in straight sentences. So what good is it gonna do to go to therapy if I can't even think straight?
Eddie
Huh?
Amy
Good point.
Bobby Bones
What never stops you.
Amy
No, no, I feel like that's sometimes when I show up with my best work.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But thank. Thank you for all the messages. You can see the pictures, Mr. Bobby Bones on Instagram. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I used to earn about the same. And for years I felt like we were a true team, building our life together. But a little while ago, she got promoted into a management role and she makes quite a bit more than I do. I was proud, really proud. But I'll be honest, over time, it started to mess with me more than I expected. The dynamic between us feels different now. She's more confident, more independent. She's even started taking over areas I used to handle, like our finances. I've always been the responsible one. I save, invest, think long term these days. We just put money into a joint account for bills, and the rest stay separate. On paper, that seems fair, but emotionally, it feels like I've lost my role in the relationship. Any advice on my situation and how to handle my wife making more money than me? Do I just get used to it, or will it always kind of sting a little? Signed, no longer the breadwinner. I'm gonna go first. I'm gonna go quick. This is gonna be a quick cut. Stop being a freaking loser. There you go. Because this was you for a while. Now it's her. So she's not doing anything. You're. You're creating this image of her because you're feeling insecure. So you got to get over your insecurity. This is better for the family. Stop being a loser. It's awesome. That's my whole statement, Amy.
Amy
I was gonna say you should be proud of her and want her to be involved. I'm jealous now. I do understand it. Feeling a little weird since your role and what you used to offer it has shifted. So I think y' all discuss that and how it can be more of still a team thing. Like, maybe you really enjoyed certain parts of the finance part of your relationship. You can still be involved even though you make less. And that's not.
Bobby Bones
You're not less of a person, bro.
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Stop being so. And that's awesome.
Amy
You still have added value. Like, I'm sure you can help around the house.
Bobby Bones
My thing is he's also creative. She's so more confident. She's so much more.
Amy
You want that?
Bobby Bones
Yes. Not only that, she is. I think he's probably creating that in.
Amy
His own mind, but I bet she is. It's impatient. It's like she's feeling empowered. Like, it's a. It's like a snowball. Like, she starts to make a little more, then she.
Bobby Bones
She's not a villain.
Amy
I know, but her being empowered is. Yes. Is not a villain.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
He needs to be excited and happy for her.
Bobby Bones
You're a loser, dude.
Amy
And then you.
Bobby Bones
Not for not making as much money, for letting this bother you.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
You're the same. Clarifying that you're in a relationship, there are times where you're gonna make more. Now she's making more. It might go back the other way. It doesn't mean that she's now less than you.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
She might hurt her. Get her feelings hurt, though, if she starts making more.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Eddie, you go.
Eddie
I mean, I don't understand why people complain about this. If my wife made a bunch of money and I had to just stay at home.
Bobby Bones
And he's not staying at home.
Amy
His goals just shift.
Eddie
I would quit my job, stay at home. I'd do the dishes, I'd clean the house all day, pick up the kids from school.
Bobby Bones
I'd love that.
Eddie
If that's what she's good at and I'm better at doing the other thing, I don't see a problem with any of this.
Bobby Bones
So what's your advice to him? Let's do this. Let's all give him a piece of advice. What's your advice, Tim?
Eddie
Eddie, Chill, dude. Enjoy it. Like, enjoy that. She's making more money than you.
Bobby Bones
The.
Eddie
The joint account, though I don't understand the. The separate account that they have.
Bobby Bones
I don't understand that they have one for bills. And then their relationship. It seems as if they've each had their own individual. I'm not going to money shame anybody for how they handle their money, but.
Eddie
I think that would help. That makes it worse if she has more money in her account.
Bobby Bones
But he's always had more money in.
Amy
Her account because she was making more.
Bobby Bones
Yes, but he's always had more money in his. Until this moment.
Eddie
Okay, I would just say enjoy it, man. Enjoy it. She's making more money than you.
Bobby Bones
Okay, here's my advice. Don't be so insecure. She's not doing it to get one over on you. She probably doesn't feel like she's getting anything over on you. She's probably proud of herself and you're going to make her feel less proud and self conscious of this because of how you're reacting. I understand it could be a little shake to the system, but this is awesome. And it may not always be this way. Be supportive. Be proud. She doesn't think less of you. You think less of you. That's where the insecurity comes from.
Amy
Yeah. And like where you put your focus, that's what is magnified. And you're putting your focus on this. So you're missing out on the. The part where you're proud of her and you should celebrate her. Now, y' all probably need to have some talks, but my advice is celebrate her. And then you. You move your focus that direction and you won't feel as less than.
Bobby Bones
Give him some advice, lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Look for a new job, man. If you want to get higher than her, you need to be hiring her to have respect in that household. You need to start applying for jobs that you know the salary is more than she makes. That's the only way we're going to solve this issue. If you want to. Are you. If you're happy not being a man like Eddie is, then, you know, just sit there and be like, oh, I enjoy it. I'm so proud of you. No. Look for a new job or go.
Eddie
To your boss, ask for a raise and tell him. Tell your boss, my wife makes more than me, man.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
You think that's cool?
Lunchbox
How do I help me? Yeah, you need to help me. I can't go home at night and, you know, have my dignity.
Amy
Oh, God. Say something else.
Bobby Bones
You see what?
Eddie
Don't put your hands up like, oh.
Amy
I can't go home and I have my.
Bobby Bones
You gotta beep that. Even beep that because it was too close guy. Get over it. She doesn't think less of you. You should not think less of you because you didn't think less of her when she was making less. I understand there's a bit of a role shift, and there may be a bit of a role shift back. Amy, you're dirty. Okay, close it up. 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. But when you get the opportunity this holiday season, Better Help. 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. They're fully licensed in the US this month. Don't wait to reach out. Whether you're checking in on a friend, you're reaching out to a therapist yourself. BetterHelp makes it easier to take that first step. 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.

Her most streamed song is Mama's Broken Heart. I do have some things we've learned about Miranda over the years. Number one, she notoriously hates beach balls at her concerts. And I was talking to her and she told us why.
Amy
Where it started was on the Kitty chesney tour in 2009 because I was doing more like her, which is like a, again like a deep whatever. I was sitting on a stool on the stage and a beach ball. Someone like did a volleyball spike like with this giant ball and it hit the mic and hit my lip and busted my lip. I was bleeding and I was like I'm done. So I started carrying a knife on stage on the drum riser. So now I have like a pink little razor blade.
Bobby Bones
She pops balls on stage. People really don't do them anymore at her shows because that became a thing for a while. She does not do encores for the most part.
Amy
I don't do encores. It's weird. Everybody know and you just go off the stage and then you're like Wait, I'll clap louder. And then I'm coming back. And then everybody's leaving to go their car. I'm just like. We just do our show, and then it's over.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but it's like, bye, y'. All.
Amy
I know you've got to get home. My sound guy's Todd, and I'm almost like, todd, roll the bean footage.
Bobby Bones
Yes, we're done. Roll that beautiful bean footage. She still geeks out over celebrities. She told us who. She still gets starstruck around.
Amy
Every time I'm around Faith Hill, I turn into a complete idiot. And I don't know why, but it's just Faith Hill. And I just. She's so pretty, and she's just awesome.
Bobby Bones
And she uses a code name when she checks into hotels and even sometimes at Starbucks. Now, she did not tell us her current name, but she did tell us a retired name that she used.
Amy
Pterodactyl. I had to change it because people figured it out. I was terror for, like, 10 years. Pterodactyl.
Bobby Bones
They wouldn't laugh at you as a cup. Let me. I would demand an ID if Pterodactyl came in.
Amy
Well, I'm sure somebody else checks in for you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like, yeah, she had an accident on the highway once where her trailer got detached and was loose on the highway.
Amy
One time, my trailer passed me on 40 and flipped, and it was terrifying. It flipped in the fast lane. I had just gotten a guitar signed by Merle Haggard, and that was the only thing in the trailer that got run. There's a hole straight through where he signed. I was flying to do my kerosene video, so this was, like, a long time ago. But that was scary, for sure.
Bobby Bones
But the trailer didn't hit anybody.
Amy
It didn't hit anybody. And only one thing got ruined out of all the amps and guitars and everything. My Merle Haggard guitar. But he's on another one, so I'm good.
Bobby Bones
One final clip here. She says she can go out in Nashville, and for the most part, people leave her alone.
Amy
I go to Walmart. I got losers and winners and.
Bobby Bones
People don't bother you?
Amy
No, not really. I kind of have this, like, R B, F. Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Resting blank.
Amy
I don't mean to, though. I just do my thing and drink Miller Light and hang out with my friends. Okay. But people just are sweet. Nashville's awesome. Nobody cares. I mean, everybody who's anybody, that's my hero lives here, and I see them out. I don't bug them. So.
Bobby Bones
Happy birthday, Miranda Lambert. It's Time for the good news with Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
There was a cop working security at a mall in Slidell, Louisiana. And he gets the call. We got a shoplifter at Dillard's. Female suspect. And so he goes, responds, sees the female. He starts chasing her. She runs out of the mall, jumps in a car, and the car takes off. He's like, man, I don't have my cop car. And a customer goes, hey, jump in. Jump in. I'll take you. And so they start chasing the suspect, and he starts radioing for backup. Hey, man, we're following the suspect southbound on this street. And they were able to get the shoplifters thanks to the Good Samaritan.
Bobby Bones
Feels like a bad idea.
Amy
I thought that you're supposed to just, like, you know, if they get away, they get away.
Bobby Bones
I think that's for the people that work at the store.
Amy
Lost control. What are they called?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but if some dude just pulls up in his Hemi, and it's like, get in. It's. It's been his lifelong dream to go on a chase. I think maybe we should let that one go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a good story, though, because in the end, nobody was hurt. Right?
Lunchbox
Right. And the Good Samaritan is going to get a citizenship award.
Bobby Bones
Give him a badge while you're at it.
Lunchbox
Why not give him a cop car?
Bobby Bones
We've gone zero to 100. Yeah.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
There you go. That's what it's all about.
Lunchbox
That was.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good. Now. Time for a Bobby bump show draft. The category is going to be songs that start with blank letter. Mike has spun the wheel. It is. There you go. Well, it's a fake wheel sound effect. But we've already spun the wheel. What do you have? N in. Okay, Amy goes first. You won the roll back stage the letters in songs that start within 20 seconds.
Amy
Okay. Go, Neon Moon.
Eddie
Wow, that is so good, Amy.

Lunchbox
Oh, bam. This is a tough one.
Bobby Bones
I have the timer going here. You have 10 seconds. No.
Lunchbox
I'm gonna go with Night the Lights Went out over Georgia.
Bobby Bones
Interesting. I. I believe that song is called that's the Night the Lights Went out in Georgia. We have to look. If so, we might have to poop you on that one.
Lunchbox
Well, poop it.
Bobby Bones
The Night the Lights Went out in Georgia. Well, but the. Yeah, but he did say it wrong. Does it matter? I think he gets that one. I don't think the. I don't think we enforce it that hard.
Amy
No, it's.
Bobby Bones
That's the. No, it's the. I think it's just the. It's just the. Oh.
Eddie
So but you, you have to write it down the way he said it though, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think that's fair.
Amy
So we can pick songs with the.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Because those not a real word.
Amy
That's okay.
Bobby Bones
I, I.
Amy
No, I just. This opens things up.
Bobby Bones
Does it? It wildly opens things up for you. There's so many that you didn't do because of the word the. Okay, so officially he has what? Mike. Night the lights went out in Georgia.
Amy
Okay, so what about.
Eddie
Amy. Stop. Like in playlists. The isn't. It's not. They're not all.

I keep thinking about the days that we had and I miss yeah But Nobody Knows by Tony Rich Project Nobody Knows I'm not getting crap. I just didn't want to get poop. That didn't make sense. I'm not getting crap. I didn't want to get pooped.
Eddie

Bobby Bones
Is that what it's called?
Eddie
I don't know.
Bobby Bones

Eddie

Bobby Bones
Okay, go ahead. Time to start it. Now, Morgan.

Lunchbox
Golly. How do we not know any of these?
Eddie
Let's speak for yourself.

Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Ready?
Bobby Bones
Yep.
Lunchbox
November rain.
Bobby Bones
Great one. Whoa. Maybe the best one.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
It doesn't matter. It's Guns N Roses.
Eddie
Good job, dude.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Nothing.
Amy
Nothing, Nothing compares to you.
Bobby Bones
Great one. Nothing compares to you. Is that your answer, Sinead o'? Connor?

Amy

Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Amy
Naughty.
Bobby Bones
Oh, boy, here we go. She's like naughty nuts.
Amy
Naughty by nature. That's the group, though. Not.
Bobby Bones
Can you read me Amy's first two songs? Yes. Neon Moon and Nothing Compares to you. That's a great first two songs. Yeah, but I think even a poop gets you through on the third one.
Eddie
So just do that.
Amy
10 seconds.
Eddie
You need to.
Amy
No, no.
Lunchbox
Yeah, just do poop.
Bobby Bones
Five seconds. Time.
Amy
Never.
Bobby Bones
What?
Eddie
Never. Never.
Amy
Never.
Bobby Bones
Is there a song called Never Never?
Eddie
It's got to be a song.
Bobby Bones
Never. Should we put the artists with these songs? Sure.
Eddie
Yes. That would help a lot.
Bobby Bones
That would help. Mike. What do you see? There are a few songs called Never. Which one, Amy, are you talking about?
Amy
I don't know. Tell me.
Bobby Bones
Which one am I talking about? Which artist are you referring to? All right. Never by unknown. Okay.
Amy
Well, really? But is there anybody popular part Has.
Bobby Bones
A song called Never? Okay, let's go with that one. Yep.
Lunchbox
All right.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
You know why I did it?
Amy
Did what?
Lunchbox
I did it for the nookie. The nookie, the cookie. Nookie.
Amy
Does that start with a K or N?
Eddie
Either.
Bobby Bones
It's a silent K. And nookie.
Amy
Well, there's a sign. K and knuckles.
Bobby Bones
Okay. But nookie, there's not. It's in and it's nookie. Okay, Lunchbox. Good one. What's his. What's his. Total team night. The Lights went out in Georgia. November, rain and nookie. I believe he said that's the night the lights went out in that state called Georgia up there yesterday or something like that. All right, Morgan.
Amy
I feel like I'm making up song.
Bobby Bones
Titles in my head that I don't.
Amy
Even know that they exist, but I already honestly have Poop, so, you know, I don't feel super strong about this team.
Bobby Bones
What does she have, Mike? She has Never Gonna Give youe Up and Poop. Yeah, Never Gonna Give youe Up was great.
Amy
Oh, but that was, like, all I had. And now I keep thinking Never Everything.
Bobby Bones
I have two. I have two good ones.
Amy
There's lots of Never songs.
Bobby Bones
There are five seconds. Yeah, no, he said there were lots of songs called Never.
Amy
That's what I mean.
Bobby Bones
Randomly.
Amy
She could do Never by the other artists. Surely there's a song.
Bobby Bones
I. I think there's. Morgan.
Amy
Northern Lights.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
Northern Lights.
Bobby Bones
Northern Lights. Let's see if there's a song. Now we're playing, like, Scrabble where we put a word in and hope it is weird. Look it up. There is a song called Northern Lights. By who? Teddy Swims. Okay. Nice.
Eddie
That works.
Bobby Bones
We love that one. Eddie. Dude, I got Timer started again.
Eddie
Two to choose from.
Bobby Bones
He has nothing but a G thing and nothing on you. Pob.
Amy
Bruno Mars, you need another nothing.
Eddie
My favorite Beatles song is Nowhere Man. I don't know if anyone knows that.
Bobby Bones
Foreign.
Eddie
I'm gonna go Nowhere Man.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
By the Beatles.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We should put the artists up. Okay, so I'm the last one. I have two. And I have two that I. I have that are good. I know the words too. The first one is and I won't tell them your name. Oh, it's called Name by Goo Goo Dolls name.
Eddie
That's so good.
Bobby Bones
But I have a better one. No Scrubs. Oh, by tlc.
Amy
I don't want to know. Scrubs.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
I think I lose this one.
Bobby Bones
I'm going with tlc. You don't. You don't poop.
Eddie
I don't have poop, but, I mean, I have two unknown names.
Bobby Bones
Mike, Water. My. My second one's so weak, though. Yeah. Need you now. Nobody Knows. And no Scrub. Nobody knows about Tony Rich Project. Nobody Knows. That is like, literally nobody knows. I will put all these up. You can vote bobbybones.com vote for our songs that start with in. That was a difficult letter.
Eddie
I also had nothing left to lose. Matt Carney. But I don't know if anyone knows that one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, That's a good one. Okay. Bobbybones.com. go vote. So you went to a basketball game?
Amy
Yeah, it was kids playing and, you know, parents in the stand.
Bobby Bones
How old were the kids?
Amy
Like, 13.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
14. 12. Like, at that range.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And there was one player in particular, felt bad for him. We'll call him Larry. Not the best player. Right. So you already feel for him because he. He just, you know, fumbles the ball up. You can tell they're trying to put him in basketball.
Bobby Bones
Basketballs. Yeah. Just let it go. It wasn't very good.
Amy
I know that football is more fumbling, but I feel like when you mess with the ball and drop it a lot.
Bobby Bones
Fair enough.
Amy
Double dribble.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Okay.
Amy
Stuff like that.
Bobby Bones
I like how you just came in words. I respect it, but go ahead.
Amy
Yeah. Shooting a miss. Like, poor Larry. Well, there was this one dad in the stand, and it's not Larry's dad. He's some other kid's dad. But he would yell at Larry.
Eddie
No way.
Amy
Not like. Not like, larry, get it together. Not like that. But he'd be like, oh, my gosh, Larry. You know, like, unbelievable Larry. And even sometimes under his breath, like, oh, my God, Larry, get it together.
Bobby Bones
And you're sure he wasn't the uncle? The dad?
Amy
I know he wasn't because other parents around us were like, oh, gosh, this is awkward. Now, I don't know specifically who Larry's parents were, but even with him mumbling about Larry under his breath, like, what if Larry's family is nearby? Like, it just was awkward. And I just wouldn't, as a parent, gel out the other kid. That's like playing poorly.
Bobby Bones
If Larry's dad was an aggressor, I could see Larry's dad going over and punching that dude. Because parents get crazy at those games.
Amy
Yeah, they do.
Bobby Bones
I can't. If it's not your kid, don't be.
Eddie
Yelling unless you know the kid.
Bobby Bones
Like, well, I said that. I said.
Eddie
I'm saying if Larry's been part of the team for 10 years.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't think you can do that. You're embarrassing Larry.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Amy
Yeah. Poor Larry.
Bobby Bones
But Larry's also 12, Eddie. So he was two when they started playing.
Eddie
Maybe. Man, they start young these days.
Amy
I don't know why I picked the name Larry, but.
Bobby Bones
But I don't think there's a kid named Larry.
Amy
It. It just. It just was uncomfortable, and I felt bad for the kid, and then I felt awkward for the dad. Like, it just was so weird. Who behaves that way.
Bobby Bones
Did you find Larry's dad in the stands.
Amy
No, I don't know who Larry's parents were.
Eddie
Oh, maybe he took Larry. You know, maybe he's the guardian of the day.
Bobby Bones
You're trying to make this right, Cuz.
Eddie
I've done it before.
Bobby Bones
You've yelled at other kids?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, like not by name though.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, I know. Like Henry's been on the team forever, so.
Bobby Bones
Okay, different names, different name. Big name.
Eddie
So if Henry messes up, I'll be like, Henry, come on, dude, let's go. I know Henry. He's been on the team for, you know, eight years, since they were little kids. So there are like maybe three kids in my kids basketball team.
Amy
Yeah, but I know, yeah, come on, Henry, let's go. Is very different than. Oh my God.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so what?
Amy
This was a little awkward, a little weird, and I, it stood out to me. I mean, actually even held on to this story for a little bit because.
Bobby Bones
You didn't want to put.
Amy
I'm not trying to put Larry on blast. Or, or, or Bob. Yeah, yeah, we'll name the dad Bob Arthur.
Bobby Bones
Okay then, then let's make a rule. And then any of our listeners who are listening, if they ever get into a situation like this, this is the rule you should follow.
Amy
The rule is like, just focus on your own kid.
Bobby Bones
Got it. Is that general across all?
Amy
I mean, I feel unless you're the coach.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
I find it very uncomfortable. Or you can make sure that Larry's not gonna hear you or Larry's parents are not gonna hear you. Then like, do what you want. Because I mean, I've been at games with my boyfriend before. He's been frustrated with like something another player is doing, but he'll do it in a, like only I can hear him kind of way. Like, oh my God, we gotta get number 12.
Eddie
Do you yell, do you yell at his son?
Amy
No, positively. But they have, yeah, like I'll cheer. They have a sound that, that they're.
Bobby Bones
Let's go, Willard.
Amy
No, but there's something my boyfriend does. He goes like. It's some noise of his kids know and they know to listen for it. And it's crazy because that noise would get lost in the mix with me. But every time he does it, no matter what's happening on the court, his son will find him right away and then he like, will give him some hand motion or whatever. But it's like. Do you have that?
Eddie
No. That's amazing.
Amy
Yeah, no, it's pretty legit.
Bobby Bones
Would you get annoyed when you were coaching your kids when other parents would yell down at their kids and tell them what to do, even though you're the coach.
Eddie
Well, I. I did get annoyed at first, but then what I would do. Strategically place them on the other side. We're like, they can't hear me anyway. So, hey, if you're gonna tell them, will you sit on that side?
Bobby Bones
No.
Amy
He's, like, supporting what the coach is doing. He's not trying to, like.
Bobby Bones
No, no. But Eddie was different. Eddie was coaching a team.
Eddie
Yes. I was the coach, and I wondered.
Bobby Bones
If there were parents that were contradicting what you were telling them and their kids, like, listen to the parent and not the coach all the time.
Eddie
And even me as a parent, I have to restrain myself from coaching as the parent, not the coach. Because of that, I'll sometimes be like, you know what? Just listen to your coach. Just listen to your coach.
Bobby Bones
That's it. That's the move.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. I'm. I'm not saying my boyfriend's not coaching.
Bobby Bones
We can tell what kind of guy he is. Secret sound. Run your own plays.
Amy
No, no, no, that's not it. He's not fumble shooting a miss.
Bobby Bones
Double dribble, double dribble.
Amy
He's not countering the coach. He's more reminding his son to freaking hustle.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so what we learned here is mind your business. Just mind your business, 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 ol mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Do you want to slay your holiday shopping this year? Pick up some massage envy gift cards.

And not only did the listener say that it could happen, it happened to a listener, and so we had to talk. And Amy's not known as the most aware driver. I'm not gonna say you're a bad driver. I would say sometimes you just get distracted, like you do in life.
Amy
No, it's my peripheral vision when I'm going really slow.
Bobby Bones
So much so her boyfriend won't let her drive his nice car.
Amy
Oh, well, it's because of y'.
Bobby Bones
All.
Amy
I'm convinced y'.
Bobby Bones
All.
Amy
You hear it enough, you start to believe it.
Bobby Bones
No, no, it's not hear it. We have seen you run into things.
Amy
Say it enough, and people start to believe it. And here's what happened. I needed to go run an errand, but I didn't have my car. I was at his house, and I was like, oh, well, I'll just take this car. And he's like, why don't you take. He has this old, like, 2004. It's his Tahoe from 2004, and he loves it. He'll never get rid of it, but, yeah, it doesn't. If it gets dinged here and there, it's not a big deal. So he's like, why don't you take the Tahoe? And I was like, what? Like, then it became a thing where I'm like, why do you want me to take the thought? Why can't it. Because he just got a new car this year. I was like, why can't I take that car?
Bobby Bones
Did your antennas go up immediately?
Amy
Yes, because, I mean, I went with him to pick out the new car.
Bobby Bones
Like, and it was just sitting there.
Amy
It's just sitting there. He's not using it. It's actually easier to pull out. Like, it. I'm sort of still speechless about it. Like, don't even get me worked up. Has he seen you drive like it was the thing?
Bobby Bones
Did he credit the show for giving him that attitude? Because I think she's wanting to blame it on us. Right, but he's just been with her driving.
Amy
No, no, he.
Eddie
There's no way that he quoted us.
Amy
He didn't, but I think you can't blame us. I said, so his kids are in the living room, and they they're like, dad, you're not gonna let. Like. And then I'm like. I look at him and I look at them and. And I'm.
Bobby Bones
I'm.
Amy
I'm angry, but.
Eddie
What did he say?
Amy
But the kids are there, so I can't really. Yeah. So I can't really tell him how I feel. But I am just perplexed because he was. At first, I kind of thought he was kidding. And I'm like, I'll stop giving the keys. And he's like. And he gives me the keys, and.
Bobby Bones
It'S to the top.
Amy
I'm like, okay, cool.
Eddie
What did he say?
Amy
So guess what. Guess what. I go run the errand in the Tahoe. Which is fine. Like, it has no sensors.
Bobby Bones
It's so old.
Amy
It has no sensors.
Bobby Bones
Tell me that's not so funny.
Amy
Cameras.
Bobby Bones
But it's not unfair to us, because he did not say. We led him to think that. Amy just doesn't want to believe that somebody independent of us also thinks that she's a bad driver.
Eddie
Correct. It's not us, Amy. We've all been in the car with you, and it's been the adventure.
Amy
You've been fine.
Bobby Bones
But that's not what you should say to somebody after they've been in the car with you.
Eddie
You're still alive.
Bobby Bones
It's like, you're good. We didn't get in a red. Yes, it can feel dangerous. Also, I would like to say on. In your defense.
Amy
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
When we did the driving course, we did the test, Amy thrived. It's not, can she do it? It's her ability to focus. She loses it at different points. And when driving, she's hit poles and. And rails and basketball garages.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
She's left it running in the garage for hours at a time.
Amy
All true. I think you're right. When. And that is very common for people with adhd. When it's time to shine, you get it done. And that's what.
Bobby Bones
I probably lean on ADHD a little bit too much.
Amy
No. I'm letting you know that if I was able to hyper focus on that test and do really well, like, I can show up. What do you mean, do I lean on it?
Bobby Bones
Well, sometimes it's like something like if.
Amy
No, I don't know. I'm not blaming my driving on my adhd. I'm blaming my peripheral vision on that.
Bobby Bones
A sock that keeps falling in your. Like, it's my adhd. It's like every.
Amy
No, I wouldn't do that. When? Do how often? What? Oh, is this. Another thing we need to talk about. When do you think I. When do you think I lean on my adhd? When it's.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm just asking because I would.
Amy
I lean, but I don't. Do you think I do?
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
You wouldn't say that if you didn't think that there was something.
Bobby Bones
We're just doing content. I just.
Amy
I actually was sharing a positive about my age.
Bobby Bones
Do you think that she uses. Uses it a lot? Yes. Lunchbox. Do you think she used it a lot? Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Regarding what?
Eddie
We've heard you say it a lot.
Amy
That's fair. Regarding.
Lunchbox
Calls you out. You're like, oh, sorry, my adhd. I was. I was doodling or.
Amy
I forgot that's what happened.
Lunchbox
My adhd, you know, whatever the heck it's called. I don't know what you call it, but yeah, you do lean on a lot. Like Eddie. It's real.
Bobby Bones
It's real. It's. We're not saying.
Amy
So there's.
Bobby Bones
That they often.
Amy
They often go hand in hand.
Bobby Bones
She's Annie. It's a hard knock life for her.
Amy
Also, Lunchbox. I forgot my wallet in, like 2008. And we still bring that up.
Bobby Bones
He's. We're just using examples. And also, it's not that big of a deal, but it is. It is brought up a lot. Anytime anything doesn't go, like, in a way, you're like, oh, I think it could be because my adhd, that's not.
Lunchbox
No, I was actually back to tests in high school. You say, oh, that's why I struggle in high school. Adhd, it is real.
Bobby Bones
I feel like that's a real excuse. But. But I see what he's saying.
Eddie
That was a long time ago.
Lunchbox
And you go back just like the wallet, like.
Bobby Bones
But that's one instance versus, like, she was built.
Amy
No, when I go back to that, it's because I went through school.
Bobby Bones
You guys are crazy.
Amy
Diagnosed. I. I wasn't diagnosed with you on this until an adult.
Eddie
So do you understand your. Your boyfriend now? Like, a little bit.
Amy
Yeah. But can we go back to when I brought up ADHD just now? It was a positive. I was saying. I think I was.
Bobby Bones
And I was saying it in a positive way. Thank you for bringing it up again as you do a lot.
Amy
Fine. I it up again.
Eddie
No, we.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's. See, now you're distracted by what we were really talking about.
Amy
Okay. I. Yeah. Will ask him his true feelings about my driving and if they are Influenced.
Eddie
We just told you. We know he's seen you drive and he doesn't want you to mess his car up.
Amy
He actually hasn't seen me drive that much cuz he always drives.
Bobby Bones
He bought an old beater just for her to drive, but she doesn't know it. He didn't have one in 2004. He bought that in case she wanted to drive something. Okay, we're rooting for you, though. It's time for the good news producer, Eddie.
Eddie
Joel Marsh. He owns Noly's Pizzeria in Omaha, Nebraska. And he decided to do something really cool. He decided to start a program where people can eat for free. No reason. If you need to eat, you can't afford it. You struggle with food insecurities. Whatever, they'll feed you. And last week, they gave over $20,000 worth of free, free food. They had to shut down because the staff was exhausted. They had to restock. But they want to start back up. They have a crowdfunding campaign going on so they can keep doing this.
Bobby Bones
I saw a video on Tik Tok where there was a sign, and it was outside by a dumpster. And it was like, hey, if you're eating this food, like, you can come and all. You have to just walk up and say these words and we will give you food. Like, we don't want you to be embarrassed.
Amy
And I bet the words are like, not.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
They wouldn't give away that.
Eddie
It's not like, America.
Bobby Bones
I was digging. It's not. I was digging in the dumpster. Right. It's like, hey, how's your day going? Or something like that.
Amy
So I love Peter Pan.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's weird, dude.
Eddie
If it was, how's your day going? I mean, I'd probably get free food.
Bobby Bones
But I don't think it really is. I'm just saying it was something that is. Isn't specific to their needs. Got it. So it's not embarrassing. They used to. They used to make us stand. All the free lunch kids.
Lunchbox
Kids.
Bobby Bones
Oh. They used to make us stand on a different line in school. It was so. It was so embarrassing.
Amy
Yeah, we've evolved. Thank goodness.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If you're a free lunch, it means you can't afford lunch. So they would stick us in a different line, and so we'd go stand. But there would be times I was like, I can't do it today. So I just wouldn't eat. I was like, I'm not getting big fun of for being the poor kid that can't afford lunch, but I'm glad they don't do that anymore.
Amy
Yeah, let's hope.
Bobby Bones
Unless that was. Unless that was like a motivation thing, like a driver.
Amy
Look at you now.
Bobby Bones
Look at me now. Yeah, a good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning is riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. Now time for the morning corny.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.
Amy
What is a turkey's favorite dessert?
Bobby Bones
What is a turkey's favorite dessert?
Amy
Peach gobbler.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning corny.
Amy
Bobby Bone.
Bobby Bones
Show story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Syracuse, New York. A 27 year old woman decided, oh, you know, it'd be funny to play a prank on Halloween. I'll post a piece of candy on Facebook and say, guys, check your candy. There's needles in it. And so people start freaking out. Oh my goodness. Police respond to her house because of the post. Turns out she didn't even go trick or treating. She put the needle on the candy herself.
Bobby Bones
I would think people would think that was a joke. If the needle was massive. Let's say you put a massive needle into like a very tiny gummy bear. Like, that's funny.
Eddie
Funny?
Bobby Bones
How is it funny? Like if it's one tiny gummy bear and you put a big needle in it. That's just so absurd that. That would be funny, man.
Eddie
I would totally believe that.
Bobby Bones
No, you wouldn't. If it was. If it were like just the needle. I'm talking about syringe and needle and everything.
Eddie
Oh, okay, that's great.
Bobby Bones
That's.
Eddie
That's ridiculous.
Bobby Bones
If it's a small gummy bear, you put the needle through the syringe coming out of the back and you're like, guys, watch your gummy bears. You never know what's in it.
Eddie
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
Like, I need to see the picture. If it's a small needle that you can barely see for sure, but if it's like one of those Blink 182, all the small things, you know, then that's a whole different. That's a joke. Have you seen the picture?
Lunchbox
I haven't seen the picture.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay. Well then I don't feel like. Let me see. Oh, yeah, that's. That's a needle. That's like the one.
Eddie
It's like a sewing.
Bobby Bones
That's not the one. That's not funny.
Eddie
That's a sewing needle.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
So not funny.
Bobby Bones
Okay, but there was a funny way to do it. She just didn't embrace the joke fully. No. Yeah. No, she literally. It looks like a bag of the hair bows. Yeah.
Eddie
Oh, the gummy bears.
Bobby Bones
And she put a really small needle in the hair bows. Yeah. That's not good. We almost had a good one. That's not good.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
All right. A couple voicemails. Number one, I'm not sure if we ever got an update, but I was curious about when Bobby bought the drone to check out what was above his neighborhood. I don't know if he saved the world, but just. Just curious about that. We did have a drone flying over our house all the time, and so I would do videos of it, and I bought a drone to go and track it. And then it got to be winter, and it got to be cold. I didn't feel like being outside. But the drone doesn't come around anymore.
Eddie
You haven't seen it.
Bobby Bones
We look. No more drone. So whatever experiment they were in the middle of, they stopped doing or they. Or they completed.
Amy
Who's they?
Bobby Bones
Who knows?
Eddie
Whoever.
Amy
Like the city or.
Bobby Bones
Or the government or extraterrestrials.
Eddie
Or them.
Bobby Bones
Could be any of them. I do not know. But there are no more drones.
Eddie
The ETs wouldn't have a drone drone.
Bobby Bones
It may not have been a drone drone. It may have been, like.
Amy
Could have been a little spaceship they live in.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Amy
They could be really tiny and didn't think about that.
Bobby Bones
Exactly. And you're stupid for not thinking about that, because that's what everybody thinks about. Right, Right. Also with the drone. I don't know where that drone is. I bought it, and I don't even know where it is.
Eddie
I bet that wasn't cheap.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't, now that I think about it. Where is that?
Eddie
You got to find that thing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, so there's that. And here's how you know that wasn't a bit. There's no good ending. People were asking me, are you doing a bit? Is this, like, some. If it was a bit, I'd have had a start, a middle, and an end, and we'd have concluded the bit.
Amy
I also can confirm it's not a bit, because your wife posted about it, and she doesn't do bits with you.
Bobby Bones
She doesn't. She hates doing bits. Bits. Not her favorite thing. All right, next one.
Lunchbox
This year's Amazing Race is composed of Big Brother contestants.
Bobby Bones
I wonder if he's watching it, keeping.
Lunchbox
Track, or if he was even aware of that.
Bobby Bones
I'd just like his take on it. Have a good one. I'm assuming he means Lunchbox or possibly Ray.
Eddie
You know it's Lunchbox because Ray watches.
Bobby Bones
Big Brother more than Lunchbox, but Lunchbox is Amazing Race more. So Lunchbox, you go first. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I haven't caught up on Amazing Race yet. I was a little behind some things that I've been trying to catch up on. So Amazing Race is in the portal. It is sitting there waiting to be started. But right now we are binging the challenge, trying to catch up on that Ray anything.
Bobby Bones
Well, hopefully they're not choosing people from this year is A lot of them were out of shape. The endurance competitions were pretty bad. So maybe go for if you're going to do a Big Brother, see if they can lift and run and do stuff like that before you pick them. Amazing Race, you don't have to be in great shape, do you? There's sprinting, there's the competitions to see if you can get time off and get to the mat on time. But Lunchbox isn't mostly about physical ability in Amazing Race. Thought it was just like being smart and getting places.
Lunchbox
It's a combination of both because there are activities where you have to run or you have to do, like stacking hay bales or. You know what I mean, like put a puzzle together and you got to run from place to place to get the puzzle pieces. So it's different things. It does take a lot of smarts. You don't have to be the most physically gifted to win. But if there's a race to the mat, man, if you're the slow one, you out.
Bobby Bones
Did dumb people ever win Amazing Race?
Lunchbox
Ooh. Not that I'm not. Not really dumb people.
Bobby Bones
No. So intelligence is key in that more than anything else.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And knowing how to drive stick because they go overseas. And you'd be shocked how many stupid people go on this show and do not know how to drive a stick shift. Unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
Would that be your advice to anyone going on Amazing Race? Learn how to drive stick?
Lunchbox
Yes, 100%. Learn how to drive a stick shift because it gives you a leg up when you're in these foreign countries and learn how to read a paper map.
Bobby Bones
Here's the thing. I love a leg up. It's one of my favorite things, getting a leg up up. Because once you got that, you're good to go. So that's what I do. All right, we're done. Thank you, guys. Hope everybody gets a good leg up today.
Eddie
That sounds so weird.
Amy
I don't know how to drive stick. But I mean, I don't know, you.
Bobby Bones
Can'T even drive though, legally, so what's the difference?
Eddie
And you hit things all the time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
No, not all the time. Yeah, whatever.
Bobby Bones
We had that talk. All right, thank you everybody. I hope you have a wonderful day. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye, buddy. This is a Bobby Bone shoe.
