[14:11–17:42]

[31:37–34:36]

14. Car Safety: When Can Kids Ride Up Front?

[59:27–60:56]

• Bobby and Amy discuss the surprising recommendation that children should wait until age 15 to ride in the front seat, based on new safety data.
  • Bobby: “I’m sure that data is absolutely true. It just feels crazy that you don’t sit in the front seat til you’re 15.” [60:22]

Transmitting across America.

[A]

This is a Bobby Bone show. Let's go. Oh. Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show Morning studio. Morning, Bones. I know so little about cars. I feel like this could happen to me. A woman took her car to get fixed because she kept on hearing a crackling sound. She could not figure out what the sound was. She could not find the sound. It was something broken inside the car. So she goes to the mechanics and it cost her $700 because they gave her a 60,000 mile tune up. I'm not even sure if that's a real thing. It's like, oh, you're at 73,000 miles. I think you need a 73,000 mile tune up. Like, who knows what they're charging her for? But when she brought the car back to the house, she realized what was actually wrong with it. Here's the audio clip first. Go ahead. What's your thoughts?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

That's inside the car.

[B]

Sounds like a. Like a fire crack. It does exactly what it is.

[A]

So what happened was she got it home and she realized the sound was a fireplace soundscape that she was playing through her speakers accidentally. Oh, my goodness.

[B]

Oh, yeah, this would happen to me.

[A]

They charged, charged her $700 to give her a tune up. And obviously they didn't fix it because there was nothing to fix. And I don't know if these are shady mechanics or if they're just like, we don't know what it is, but we think the best solution is just to give you a full tune up, whatever that is. Yeah, but it was that. It was like a Bluetooth going through her car. It was a crackling fire, and she thought it was something bouncing around inside the car. But there's no way they heard that. Right. Like, you know when you take it to the shop, you're like, here, listen to it.

[B]

Yeah, because it would have to be on correct.

[A]

I don't think they heard it. I think she just told them. So their idea was, we'll give you a 70, 000 mile tune up. That's what you need. Or, sorry, 60, 000 mile tune up. Crazy, huh? And I feel like that kind of thing. What happened to me once, I had to call repair tow truck type service to come out because my car wouldn't go. I was stuck in a parking lot and I couldn't get the key to turn over. I couldn't get anything to work. But the lights were on in the dash. So I thought, well, something exploded. That's why the lights are on. Turns out the car was in drive, meaning with no key on. So obviously it's not going to turn over. It's in drive. That's what. Yeah. And they came over and sat in the car and put it in park and they were like, here you go. I felt so stupid. They didn't charge you for the tune up or anything? No, there was. There was no 19,000 mile tune up for that one.

[B]

Yeah, I felt pretty stupid that time I called the people because I had birds stuck in my chimney. Remember the chirp chirp? I was like, all little birds. They're stuck in my chimney.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I just hear them all the time. I wanted them to get rescued. So I called the chimney place and they came over and turns out the screensaver on my smart TV was a nature thing and the birds were part of the screensaver.

[A]

That's so funny. That's this.

[B]

Yeah. But they didn't. I mean, of course I had to pay them to come out, but they didn't. They weren't like, oh, we'll do a chimney tune up while were here. But still it was pretty embarrassing.

[A]

Wow, that's bad. That's that. Yeah, just a house version.

[B]

Yeah. I, I now, no more nature screensavers allowed.

[A]

I have another clip I want to play you. Albany news anchor Heather Kovar was suspended after she went on the air. And I want to play you her doing the news. Now there's a couple stories and I don't want to jump to either story being the absolute truth, but here she is, she goes in, she looks a little disoriented. Here you go.

[B]

All right, thank you so much, Emma, for that report. You know, the exhibit is open until August, so you can still check that out. Discover Schenectady. You should really check that out. They do so many good things in Schenectady. The leaders there. They are hopeful that that exhibit is going to bring even more events and exhibits to the area in the future. And so moving on tonight is we have to tell you also, you know, like other news that's happening in the area and across. What is happening.

[A]

She sounds drunk.

[B]

Yeah, she sounds drunk on or she's.

[A]

Having a kills or she sounds. Something is up. Right. So people thought she was drunk. If I were just looking at it, I would have thought she was drunk. But I can read you the official story and we can speculate. Pure speculation. Albany news anchor Heather Kovar was suspended after she appeared disoriented and Slurred her words during a live CBS 6 broadcast. The unusual on air behavior sparked concern among viewers, leading station executives to remove her from the air and begin an internal investigation. Now, to me, with just my eye and seeing this one clip, she looks drunk. She even has the drunk voice isms. Like now. She, to her credit, had a great excuse, which also could be the truth. She explained she was extremely fatigued, having just returned from caring for ill father and firmly denied any suggestion of intoxication during a broadcast. Now, that's what you do. You go towards something that's happened to you that you can go, no, no, no, My dad's sick, my uncle died, I got beat up. Like something happened. To totally modify an argument because you never want. When someone uses a sympathy play like that, even if it's not true, it's hard to, like, win that one.

[B]

Yeah, but I mean, did they. Did they do an alcohol test or.

[A]

I don't think they did one right after. No.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

The incident has fueled wider discussions about burnout mental health. Yes. That's a tough one.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I mean, if she's. If she's. She shouldn't have gotten sick and she hasn't slept.

[A]

Okay. But. But right. If she's saying that, you automatically fall to that, even if it's not true. Did you watch the clip? Have you seen the clip? Have you heard the clip?

[B]

I. I just heard it and I do feel like something's up. Like Xanax, anything.

[A]

You and her news director can't let her go on TV like that. No.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Like there's. It's on like five people. If her dad is. But if her dad is sick and she was caring for him, do you come back like that? I mean, I've been really tired before where. I kind of sound like that, but that sounds drunk. Like she's slurring. I don't know. You're not slurring. You're a little delirious. The tip here is, even if not true, if you throw in something like this, like, my dad's sick, my uncle died, my dogs die. It's hard to. It's hard for them to do anything.

[B]

Right.

[A]

It's pretty good. Yeah. So if not true, shout out her for excuse. Yeah. I thought she was drunk.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Especially because at some point she. She does the drunk ups and downs with her voice in that, like, there's a lot of news coming.

[B]

And speaking of the news that's coming up, and I have been such as.

[A]

And I have been. You're cute. I have Been so tired that I'm not in my right mind. But I don't do the ups and downs. No, not like that. Of the voice. So I hope she's okay. I actually hope that her dad is not sick, and if he is, I hope he's okay. Yes. I want to say everything I'm supposed to say, but if you just show me the clip, I'd be like, she had too much to drink or she's had some. Some medicine.

[B]

Well, she would think that, too. I mean, if she were to see that clip of herself later or somebody else acting like that, she would have a similar thought.

[A]

We're rooting for you.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And we hope you get to keep your job. Because she didn't say that F word or anything. No. Hello, Bobby Bones. I recently married someone who has kids from a previous relationship, and I'm struggling a bit to figure out my role as a step parent. I don't want to overstep and come across as trying to replace their mom and dad, but at the same time, I want to have a real relationship with them and not just feel like a house guest. How do I find the right balance between being involved and being respectful? Signed. Trying to step in without stepping on toes. I think we have somebody here who's kind of going through a similar situation, which is Abby. Like, her boyfriend has kids from a past relationship. How do you handle that, Abby?

[B]

So right now, it's kinda. I'm kind of in the same situation because it's like, I'm kind of just the friend, you know, that they like to play with. And at some point, you kind of have to establish, like, the communication the dad does with the kids to.

[A]

To say they have to listen to you kind.

[B]

I mean, more of, like, the motherly role. But I guess that's when you're married. We're not married. So I guess the stepmom title comes in. Yeah. Later.

[A]

Yeah. But do you spend a lot of time with him and them?

[B]

Yeah, I do, but he mostly takes on, like, the role. I kind of. I don't have that, like, authoritative, you know, like, oh, go to timeout. That's not where I am right now.

[A]

Do you want that role?

[B]

No, but that's. I'm just saying that's. That's more his job, and I kind of just step back.

[A]

What about the relationship with the mom?

[B]

I don't really communicate with her much. It's all.

[A]

Well, but does. Is there communication at all about her? About. From her, like, how you should be a part of that relationship?

[B]

Nope. Not really. Okay.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Yeah. Okay, stop there.

[A]

All right.

[B]

I think the time will come where he'll naturally maybe even come to Abby because she's living there, and maybe be like, hey, just so you know, like, I love your support on this. Or if you ever feel like you need to say something, like you have. I mean, I think that probably will just take a little bit of time. And like you said, maybe even the official marriage title would take care of that role. But at times I'm sure it feels like you are parenting. Yeah, for sure. But I am stuck kind of in an awkward position, too.

[A]

Sometimes it is a bit of a, you know, you're not the mom, but you're also not just a reckless friend who can do stupid stuff. Yeah.

[B]

There has to be bad purgatory.

[A]

It's like a parental purgatory.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I would say that there is not a right or wrong way to do it. I would say there's not a right way to do it. There are wrong ways to do it, but there's not a right way to do it. Because I think every situation is different, especially if you're co parenting. You know, I also think time and consistency is what really makes a difference here. So for everybody, not just the kids, but for the other parent, like if you have proven that you can be there for those kids, even if you don't get along like that, that's very valuable to the other parent, probably.

[B]

I look forward to my kids having like the girlfriends or whoever my ex husband ends up with, like for them to have another role model or someone that they can go to and have as a parent figure. I. The more the merrier. I mean, obviously we didn't want to end up this way, but our story is we're divorced and I hope we both end up with partners that will be excellent parents to our children.

[A]

I would encourage you, email or not to beat yourself up about having to figure it out because it will never be figured out.

[B]

Yeah, I think it's awkward because it is awkward.

[A]

Yeah. Like it will never be figured out. And when you got it figured out, then something's going to happen and it's going to be totally unfigured out again. So as long as you're consistent and that you're doing things from a caring place. Yeah, I think that's the win.

[B]

That's the win. Yeah. Consistency, like Bobby said. And then you'll find a groove. But then something may happen that knocks you off, but then you'll find the new groove.

[A]

Yeah. Just that you care is all that matters. And you'll do things wrong, and that's okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. All right, there you go. Close it up, Bones. 22 year old, went back and enrolled in high school using a fake identity. Kind of funny unless something bad happens from it. Because I think I can only speak for dudes because I am a dude. We all think it would be awesome to go back and just dominate in sports, but I don't think we could go and dominate high school because I think we're too old to compete with 17 year olds. They, they're faster than us, they're stronger than us for the most part. But imagine we could go back and play junior high or like seventh grade football with what we have now. And it. Everybody thought we were the same age and we just got to dominate. And nobody was like, look at the older guy playing with kids. You just get to feel that, like, wow, look at you. That'd be awesome. Or play basketball against a bunch of fourth graders. But nobody knew you weren't a fourth grader and you just dominated. Just feel what it would be like to just, like guys would like to do that, to just feel supreme at a sport because most guys didn't get to feel that we were just normal or below average or didn't make the team or didn't play at all. And so this dude kind of a different story. But I think of that in my head, I'm like, man, that would be cool to go back and just be older and dominate, but. Officials in White Bear Lake, Minnesota are investigating after an adult allegedly posed as a high school student and enrolled at White Bear Lake Area High School. Using fake documents. According to a principal, students, staff and families helped uncover that someone over the age of 21 had fraudulently enrolled under a false identity. They're calling for the superintendent's resignation. Pretend to be 17 if this happens. And what I worry about, like, the actual worry with somebody weird doing this is that they're, they're trying to get with kids.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Like, that to me is like the real bad thing that comes from this. Like kids that are vulnerable to an adult and them taking advantage of that, in my mind, I go, I want to play peewee football. That's harmless. And yeah, I want to play quarterback. I want to play wide receiver. I want to play every position and just dominate because that, that is hard.

[B]

Like in your fantasy, whatever this is that you have. Are you that size? You're this.

[A]

No, I'm my size. I'm exactly me right now.

[B]

Okay. But they don't. And there, there's no questions asked on there.

[A]

No.

[B]

They just seem.

[A]

Because there are always a couple bigger kids that dominate in fifth or sixth grade. Oh, yes. Especially in baseball and in football. You're like that kid. There's no way that kid can be that age. It turns out they are. They just grew up faster than everybody else. Or they were held back. Yeah. Or. Or a mixture of both.

[B]

Okay. So I thought it's just like you had like your skills, but in a.

[A]

No, I don't want to be smaller. I want to be big. I want to. Amy, in my life, I've never got to just dominate in sports. There were certain sports I was pretty good at. There were certain sports I was average at, but I never was like the guy because my athletic ability, it had a ceiling and anything that, like, I don't want, I don't want to have to do this. But like in high school baseball, I, I was like all district, all region. I was defensive player of the year in our league. Like, but all that wasn't because of athletic ability. It was. It was because I was a very smart player and had to like, find every little shortcut possible to take every advantage of everything. And that sucks. Well, that's half of being a good athlete. I want to be a good athlete and do that. Yeah. Can you imagine me playing quarterback now against fourth graders? Oh, that'd be awesome. Dude. The score would be 100 to 0. I would just take off running every time. Keeper. Yes. So. And there have been adults that have done that to come back to play high school basketball for sure. There are those kind of stories. And I'm always a little jealous until they go to jail. There's a 17 year old kid in Florida. Another fabrication story, but a little different. He faked his own abduction and then went so far to shoot himself in the leg.

[B]

Oh my.

[A]

Yeah, I'm quitting that. Faking. When it comes to shooting myself, I don't think I could pull the trigger on that. Authorities in Marion County, Florida, say a 17 year old who claimed he was abducted last week fabricated the entire story. He texted his family saying he'd been kidnapped by four Hispanic men. Always, always dirty dog. Why they have to do that? Why do they target you dirty dog people? And in a van and it's always Hispanics have vans, Right? Unfair. I'm telling you, my whole family, only one of my uncles has a van. They probably have trucks, couple cars. Yes, normal. It's always a, a van with the Hispanics. That sucks. For you guys. You don't deserve that. He said that the van got him. There was a shooting, There was an Amber Alert that went out. Wow. Because he's 17, his family made emotional public pleas for his return. However, Sheriff Billy woods later revealed the teen's account was false. Investigators discovered that Speed had purchased a bicycle, tent and camping gear at the Walmart before abandoning his truck and then riding away. To make the hoax seem real, he shot himself with a handgun. That, to me, is not worth that price. Whatever you're trying to get from this, like to get away, if I got to shoot myself, no way that cancels it out. No chance. Detectives confirmed there was no kidnapping or attack. Noted the gunshot was self inflicted. Wood said the incident wasted significant taxpayer funded resources and pressing charges remains on the. On the table. 17. So that's. That's from Metro. That is a crazy story. All of it. And why do they always have to go to the Hispanic people in the van? I don't know, man. It's not the first time this has happened. No, it's not the first. I remember the girl that went jogging. She got kidnapped by some Hispanic people. What was her name? Lunchbox? Jennifer Wilbanks. Okay, there you go. The famous Jennifer Wilbanks. Turns out she was never abducted by Hispanics in a van. No van, no Hispanics. You know, justice for Hispanics is what I say, Bones. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

[B]

An old man in New York was falling for a scam. He showed up at the Community Resource Federal Credit Union to withdraw $30,000. Luckily, the teller, she noticed that he seemed unsure about what he was doing. So she like started talking to him. She didn't just withdraw the money and give it to him. She called the police and officers soon learned that the customer had been misled by scammers and they worked with him to set up like a sting operation.

[A]

I bet they didn't catch them. They're always on like Uruguay. Yeah, right.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, they arranged a meeting with the scammers and they took them into custody. So I guess it does work out.

[A]

There were American scammers. Dang.

[B]

Yeah, they got charged.

[A]

We arranged a meeting with your scammer. We couldn't charge him with anything.

[B]

He was in India.

[A]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Oh, that's good. I bet you. And I'm just betting because I have no basis of fact on this, that these tellers are now trained a little bit on. Hey, if people come in looking to withdraw a bunch of money because it's happening so much to vulnerable people, older people, like, try to ask a couple questions that aren't out of bounds to see if you feel like they're being scammed.

[B]

Yeah. The article did say thank to the. Thanks to the teller's instincts and training, the effort.

[A]

That seems like something that they would need to be trained for now, which is a weird thing you wouldn't think about. Yeah.

[B]

It's just kind of crazy. Like he was actually going there to withdraw the $30,000.

[A]

Yeah. So sad. Cole Swindle probably told him to. He needed the money. Yeah. Cole Swindell. That a blue check mark? Obviously not the real one, but yeah. Great job by that teller. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, bones. This pillow cost a thousand dollars. That's crazy. Crazy. You get one for $1049 or get the pair for $1600. This pillow better have like every drug in it.

[B]

What? Like a. To help you sleep?

[A]

Yeah, whatever. Whatever you need. Like, it just does it.

[B]

Is it anti aging? What's the deal?

[A]

So the pillow is by eight sleep company. It's their new pod pillow cover. This cover is designed to slip over your existing pillows without changing their shape or firmness. And it uses silent hydro channels to circulate temperature controlled water beneath your head.

[B]

What?

[A]

You can pick an exact temperature, anywhere between 55 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit. And the COVID will maintain that temperature all night long. I wonder if 55 feels cold, because if you can keep the pillow cold, there's some value in that. Like last night our air was on so cold. And I have a sleep number bed that messes with the temperature. And so I was able to turn. I don't. I didn't get up and turn the temperature up in the middle of the night. I just went over and turned the bed up. It was awesome. Now that's also a bed, not a pillow. But I can't Imagine spending a thousand dollars for a pillow. You're not even sure if it works.

[B]

This is clever.

[A]

Yeah. This is something that you want to have for, like, a week to see, and there's no way for $1,000, but let's say $150. You want to have this for a week before you even buy that, much less throw a thousand bucks at it, like, off the jump.

[B]

Yeah. I'm trying to look at it right now, and I'm just like, wow, this is a lot of money for a pillow cover.

[A]

Yep. But it does run water. But it should be. Like, there's a button that pushes. Like, all right, there's your ambian. Maybe you need a little. Little melatonin. Okay. Rough night? Xanax. Like, it tells you what you need. That'd be awesome. Just by monitoring your brain waves that are on the pillow. Or. Or here's a nursery rhyme. Here's a nice story. Like, it should be able to read my mind to tell me what I need to sleep.

[B]

Do you have. Do you have to plug it in?

[A]

Can you imagine? You should get shocked to death. Oh, gosh.

[B]

It's hooked up to these huge machines that sit next to your bed.

[A]

That can't help you sleep. I roll around my pillow so much, I put my arm under it. Oh, for sure. I'm gonna get wrapped up in it. You choke on it.

[B]

How'd you. How. How do you pass? Well, you got a pillow.

[A]

He loved that pillow, too.

[B]

Yeah. Like, how dangerous is this? I mean, I'm sure it's fine, but.

[A]

Yeah, I'm sure it's fine, but when you guys are asking me what I was gonna put on my registry. A baby shower, maybe. This is one of the things.

[B]

Yeah. So when you do sleep, you actually get.

[A]

Yeah. Quality, because we're already buying strollers and car seats. I got a text from someone going, I heard you talking about your car seat. You sound so happy. I don't think I'm happier or not happy. I'm just, like, amazed at how much goes into this. Like, back in the old days, you just got in your covered wagon and took your baby and traveled across the free land. Yeah, but sometimes you'd lose the baby doing that.

[B]

Yeah. A little different.

[A]

They lived. Like, you sat in the front seat of the car. You know, you. You stood up on the back seats. You know, you're.

[B]

I mean, you have to remember, too. It's still, like, some of the stuff that you're gonna get roped into. It's a business, so you have to be like, do we really need this?

[A]

Ah, good, Amy, you know. Yeah. But be vigilant.

[B]

They all rope it up.

[A]

Yeah. They did the Taco Bell ultramarathon this past weekend. And so over a thousand people and they ran a 31 mile course. And they had to eat at Nine Taco Bells on the way. Okay. They were all in the course. And so they're running a 31 mile race. They have to stop and eat at Taco Bell constantly. And they had to order items like a Chalupa Supreme, a Crunchwrap Supreme, Nachos Belgrande. Can you imagine eating all that while running 31 miles?

[B]

No.

[A]

No. Everyone threw up, right? Like there's gonna be throw up. Something else they require to do it all.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, no, that's too quick. That's too quick. And do you run in a diaper? Oh, I guess you have to. Is there a diaper stop where you can actually put one on?

[B]

Some people have that situation happen on a normal marathon with no eating of, you know, chalupas.

[A]

They're required to do it all within 11 hours. They were in work and without on course performance enhancing drugs. No Pepto, no Alka Seltzer. That's a enhance performance. The official rules don't forbid vomiting, but for street cred, everybody tried to keep it down. Yeah, tough. That is a funny race. That is a dangerous race. That's like a beer mile, though, right? Like you drink a beer every lap. It's the same kind of thing. Because you don't get drunk from the beer Mile. It's. It's.

[B]

I would rather do quick Beer mile over.

[A]

Well, yeah, this is 31 miles. 11 hours. Well, this is 30. Wait, no, it has to be finished in 11 hours. Yeah. Oh, that's the max. Yeah. So it's a 31 mile run and you gotta stop at nine taco bells.

[B]

Yeah, I just. Yeah, that would not be good on my stomach. Did y' all see this one clip? It's probably not in your algorithm, but it is mine. It was funny. It was going viral because this girl was like my method of when I'm hiking or running alone and I pass a man, she, like, instantly acts like she's on the phone telling the person that she just pooped her pants. So that way he won't be attracted to her. Or, like, he won't.

[A]

Okay, she better be. She better be the hottest person ever to put a video like that.

[B]

I know, I know. She was ready, but she'll be like.

[A]

Guys coming on to me.

[B]

So no Sorry, sorry. No, not to avoid guys. She doesn't know who is a threat. Like, so she. If she's gonna get abducted.

[A]

Oh, like, not because.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not. Not because a guy might hit on her. It's because. So she won't get taken.

[A]

But that also means that every guy is trying to.

[B]

Like, you never know which guy it is, though. But that's method. She's like, almost.

[A]

No, no. Guys are trying to.

[B]

But it happens. It happens. And you have to have your methods. And this is hers.

[A]

I think she's just doing a comedy bit.

[B]

Well, it was funny. But then also it could work because he might be. If he was thinking about abducting her, it's probably something he doesn't want to deal with.

[A]

I think we believe way more stuff than we should because there is a video going viral where this woman is like, oh, I thought I was in the Chad Powers movie on Hulu. And they put Hawk to it in my place. And she didn't know it. Oh, I saw that. It's not real. She does videos like this all the time. But people are convinced that that's real. And she was replaced by Haktua. But she was never in the movie. She was just doing it. But I saw the news pick it up as actresses stunned as she gets replaced by Hawk Tua. No, that's the kind of video she does. How are we supposed to know when people are lying to us? We just want to tell you. I can tell you everybody's lying to you. So just. I approach life and I approach social media like that, where nothing is true until I find out that it is. I believe nothing.

[B]

How are we supposed to know if the person is real or AI?

[A]

Because if they have 10 fingers, I can't. AI doesn't master fingers yet.

[B]

Oh, really? I didn't look at his fingers. So there's this one guy, and I was drawn in because he hikes with his cat.

[A]

Like, I was drawn in. Amy's falling in love with an AI.

[B]

Yes. No.

[A]

You guys thought it would be me.

[B]

Okay. He is very good looking, but he's kind of like Bobby's AI where he talks, like, feminine, you know, like, I don't know, like, when he talks, you're like, the voice doesn't match the body. And like, what?

[A]

I was a woman.

[B]

Okay, well, whatever. She's a masculine woman, a feminine man, whatever. So he's. He's frolicking about in, like, these beautiful fields and I don't know, I've never been to Switzerland. That's What? I imagine fields and stuff being like, there, and he's got his cat with him, and I watched so many videos, and now I'm like, I don't think this guy's even real.

[A]

There's the AI actress, Tilly now, Mike, have you seen much on her? Yeah, people are mad about it. Yeah.

[B]

Up in arms.

[A]

Yeah, She's a fake person.

[B]

Yeah, she's an actress.

[A]

Fully. Oh, my gosh. Fully AI actress. I mean, I'd cast her for some roles. She's, like, approachable, likable. Like, she's perfect. She's. Yeah, yeah. Perfect. Doesn't say no to anything. Yeah, she'll.

[B]

She nails everything bones.

[A]

Raymundo, you're gonna sing us the opening line to classic country song. Yes. Give us the example. Crazy. I'm crazy for feeling so lonely.

[B]

Okay, that's crazy.

[A]

Crazy. The difficulty is going to be these are very famous songs, but him singing it's going to make it harder than if he just spoke them. Okay, we got five here. Yep. All right, get it. I got rice cooking in the microwave.

[B]

Okay, I'm in.

[A]

I'm in. I'm in. Who knows? These may all be so easy. Hopefully his wonderful singing doesn't affect it. One more time, Ray. I got rice cooking in the microwave. All right, five seconds. Do we need Thailand artist? Just the name of the song. Oh, okay. All right, Time. Lunchbox. Boot scooting boogie. Amy.

[B]

[B]

I'm in.

[A]

[B]

Same.

[A]

Okay, good. Next. I hear the train a coming. It's rolling round the bend. I'm in. What's the name of the song, though? One more time. I hear the train coming. It's rolling round the bend. The band.

I early for. Do you want to sing it again? Yeah, give it a run. He said I was in my early 40s with a lot of. Listen, Amy. You got to listen to. I'm sorry, Ray. Can you do it one more time? We need that again. He said I was in my early 40s with a lot of life, but for me, it'll throw you off, dude. It makes it so much worse. All right, five seconds. Amy got mad. He goes, no. All right, that's time.

[B]

Oh, my gosh.

[A]

No.

[B]

He said, I'm your answer. It's timber girl.

Baby, when I met There was a piece unknown it's like this. It goes. Baby, when I met you There was peace unknown and the diamond with the fine tooth comb I was nothing. There was something going on.

He won Dancing with the Stars. Okay. Yeah, I don't think that's that big of a story. Would you. I think. I think. I mean, I think it'd be a good story for your five o' clock news and maybe even your ten o' clock news. Probably not gonna see it there, but have a good day. Haters, man. Haters. That was a rough one there, Bobby. That was a rough one. Yeah, that's a rough one. I did like that you went to our Atlanta station. That was referenced on the bull in Atlanta. The guy had no idea how it was. All right, next up, Austin. Yes. Then I called Austin.

[B]

News desk.

[A]

Yes, ma', am. This is Nico Jackson and do I have a story for you that your listeners are gonna love. Oh, great.

[B]

Mr. Jackson, we appreciate that. People get involved.

[A]

Bobby Bones is going to have a baby. Well, he's not having a baby, but his wife is pregnant and that's huge news. Oh, okay.

[B]

Well, was there some, like, was there anything that makes this unique?

[A]

Yes, yes, it makes it unique because Bobby's 45 years old now and they got married a few years ago and this is their first baby.

[B]

Well, that's so nice, Mr. Jackson. We appreciate you calling us and letting us know. Listen, my other lines are ringing, but we just want to thank you again. For your help.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Can you just like other stories get. Feel free to give us a ring.

[A]

Thank you. Yes, thank you. And tell Bobby congratulations. Right. Okay. She's very nice. Oh, sweet. She really thought Mr. Jackson was a real person, like an old, old man. And she was handling like that. And I think. You know what? Shout out to her whoever that was, for handling Mr. Nico Jackson, like the 90 year old here.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

In your mind, Is Nico Jackson 90? Yes, he is. He's old. He's an older guy. He's an older feller. Just kind of, you know, lived his life, and now he just doesn't have much to do, so he's just hanging around his apartment.

[B]

Who's talking, though? He's talking about he. Like, you could say I'm. I'm old. Yes, I am.

[A]

You know, I didn't think about that. Okay. So anyway, my brain. My brain's not as fast as it used to be. The news didn't care. But two. One of them believed Lunchbox was an old man. So that's, his impression, may be getting a little better. All right, thank you, Lunchbox. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good. There were two NYPD officers on patrol in New York City. They're driving, and they notice a guy just waving at him like, hey, over here. I need help. So they pull over, like, what's up, man? He's like, my wife is about to have a baby in the car. So they go, we need backup. There's a baby being born. We need backup. Two more officers arrive with medical supplies. And they didn't wait. They didn't wait for ems. They said, let's go, baby. Let's push. And the baby came out. They delivered a healthy baby girl.

[B]

Nice.

[A]

On the side of the road, the cops have to train in baby delivery. They have to. But do they have to, like, go and do a practical, like, at the.

[B]

Police academy, or do they have to.

[A]

Go into, like, a labor. Like a room. Yeah. And see it? Because you can't get. You can't get a taser unless you've been tased. You can't get pepper spray unless you've been pepper sprayed. But you can deliver a baby without having a baby. But can you deliver a baby without ever having seen a baby being delivered? Like, do they make you do that?

[B]

Well, all I know is I better be getting my delivery paid for if I'm now, like, the demonstration for police officers.

[A]

No, but that's not always the case because you'll go to a hospital, and they'll bring in other people just to watch, because that's part of.

[B]

It's a teaching hospital.

[A]

Yeah, but sometimes they just have, like, new intern doctors in there.

[B]

Yeah, I still want a deal.

[A]

I mean, you bring up a good point, though. Like, if you're the officer that delivers the baby, do you get a bonus? Like, that's. I think that's just. That's the serving part of protecting and serving. Man, that's a. That's a really unique one. You want a bonus as the cop, and you want a discount as the pusher.

[B]

Yeah. As a pregnant person.

[A]

Like, how much do doctors get paid to deliver a baby? Hold on. We got too many questions. Okay. Police are not generally required to train for baby delivery, though some departments have begun offering more comprehensive training that does include childbirth assistance. Okay, now your question. How much do doctors get paid to deliver a baby? But aren't those, like, OB GYNs?

[B]

Yeah, I don't know. Is it part of their usual. Or is it, like, per capita? Like, per baby head?

[A]

Because on our end, it ain't cheap to. They get a commission. They get a commission per baby. Now, I think it's part of the overall deal. Like, they're your doctor. They don't make more.

[B]

Yeah, I have no idea.

[A]

Doctors do not get paid a flat rate for each delivery.

[B]

If they hit a certain quota, do they get more?

[A]

Their income is derived from their annual salary as an obstetrician, which averages between 270,000 and $300,000 per year, with pay influenced by experience, location, and whether they work in private practice or hospital setting. Dang. Okay, so no pay for the officers. Okay. And the. The doctors don't make more. It would be nice to get, like, a punch card. Like, after their tent, they get a free smoothie or something. Yeah, something. Yeah. Like, we've done 10 babies. I'm going to Tropical Cafe to get a free smoothie. Yeah, right.

[B]

You know when I got my wisdom teeth out, you know how I was a part of the study and, like, they paid me $75 to get my wisdom teeth out. Like, I didn't have to pay the large bill, and then I got money on top of that. So that's what I was thinking.

[A]

Like, if you did a study for having a baby, you would get no med.

[B]

You're giving birth. No, I'm saying if you volunteer to work with, like, you know, the people that are training you, maybe get a deal.

[A]

I hear you. Oh. Sort of like the haircut thing. Like, when you go to a Person that's learning how to do haircut.

[B]

I don't think.

[A]

I don't think I want a deal.

[B]

That might be a better example. Remember that place in Austin where you could go get a massage from someone in training? In a room full of other people, you get a really good deal. Did you ever go there?

[A]

No. I should be. I don't know that that was a room that you go to. Special room.

[B]

I went. It was awesome. I feel like it could be like that. I don't know. I'm just trying to think of ways to make it more affordable for people.

[A]

Okay, well, we'll run that up flagpole and let you know what comes back. Either way, these officers a. Good job, guys. Yeah, good job. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning and you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on. Turn two SC to put you through. M's riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V over to Amy for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[B]

What do you call a flying primate?

[A]

What do you call a flying primate?

[B]

A hot air baboon.

[A]

Oh, that's funny. That's good. That was the morning corny. Not a good one. All right, hit me with that voicemail. I'm gonna leave the gap. Morning, studio. Morning. I just wanted to give a big shout out to Mike D. He doesn't get enough love for all the great games that he writes. And I know a lot of people say that games are their favorite parts of the show, so. So keep killing it, Mike D. And thanks for all your hard work on the show. Have a great day. That's your wife. That's what I thought. I really know Mike does do a lot of work behind the scenes. That was not his wife for sure. Right, Mike? No, But I maybe paid that person. Yes. Next up, I was just wondering if.

[B]

Eddie remembers what day Valentine's Day is back on Valentine's Day, he said he wouldn't forget.

[A]

And I just want to know if that's fact or crap. You can do it. You're my favorite on the show. Don't let me down.

[B]

Bye.

[A]

Why did I say these things, like I said on Valentine's Day, that I'm gonna remember the day? Yeah. Do you know the day of Valentine's Day? February 14th. Are you serious? 17th. No, no, no, no. I mean, are you. Is this like. Are you doing, like a bit no. Why would I do a bit? Dude. Dude. Usually what happens every year is around Valentine's Day, you're like, guys, don't forget. In two weeks, it's Valentine's Day. It naturally burned into your head what day Valentine's Day is, even if you. You didn't have a romantic partner. Nope. Like, has an American culture. Fourth of July. Got it. Well, because that's the name of it. July 4th. Yeah, yeah. Christmas, December 25th. Got that. What about Halloween? That changes. It's the Thursday. Right. Or is it October 31st? Wait, one of them changes. Bro, he's broken. I didn't know this was a thing with him. Which is the one that changes, though. So Halloween doesn't change. Okay. October 31st. Okay. Yeah. You're confusing Halloween with Thanksgiving. That one changes. Changes. Right. Thursday, the Thursday, the last Thursday of November.

[B]

Yep.

[A]

Okay. Yeah. Okay, good. What does Easter change? Easter changes. Okay, That's April.

[B]

Or sometimes March.

[A]

Sometimes March. Yeah. Okay. And Valentine's Day is February 14th. How much would you bet on that? Five dollars. Oh, you really would bet five bucks? Five bucks, max, it's February 14th. Okay, good. I thought you were doing a bit now, man. Is that just Calcula? No, I don't think so.

[B]

No, because I have that.

[A]

And you know the date.

[B]

Yeah. Yes. Known the date since, well, we started celebrating in school.

[A]

I think it's more of, like the date, really. Just doesn't matter to me. Okay, what's nine times six? Okay. I can do that with my fingers. That's 54. Sit. My little trick. If you get. Give me nine times. Whatever. Okay. I don't do nine, though. But eight times seven, that's trouble. Oh. Oh. So only nines you can do on your nines is the hand one. Yeah. I don't know. 8 times 7? 8 times 6? 8 times. No. 8 times 7. Go. Just give me your best shot. This is how I do it. Okay. Eight times five is 40. Plus eight. 48. That's six, seven, eight, nine, finger. He's going. Fingers. It's 74. Nailed it. Take another shot at it. I got it wrong. Did you say 74? 64. 64. 64. 64. I just want one more eight times seven. 64. Lunchbox. What's eight times seven? 65. Oh, my gosh. That's not 65. How's it on five? That's not times five. Oh, 56. You got me so confused. On what? He got me so confused. I started to think Lunchbox was right for a minute. I was like, is I wrong? No. Eddie has got me so lost that I am like, wait a minute. Hey, welcome. What is my brain, 74? And then what did you say? Like, you got me 65. No, I wouldn't do it at 5. Oh, you wouldn't? You got me so confused. I was like, what? That's my head, dude. Okay. Isn't that crazy? Bobby Bone show, story of the day. This story comes us from New York City. A detective with the NYPD was at a club where there are some dancers, and he had a crush on one of them. So he's out in the parking lot, and he sees another one of the dancers, like, hey, give me that dancer's phone number. The girl's like, I'm not gonna give you her phone number. Leave me alone. He's like, give me her phone number. She's like, leave me alone. And that's when he flashes his gun. Said, you ever been shot? Oh, my goodness. I thought he's gonna flash his badge. At most. I didn't know he's flashing gun.

[B]

I thought he's gonna flash something else.

[A]

Oh, interesting. See, we all went different places on that one. And, yeah, here's the thing, guys. If there are guys listening to this and you're going to one of these clubs like Lunchbox is talking about with women that are. There will be delicate with our words. They don't have a crush on you. They never have a crush. Also, if you go to Hooters, they never have a crush on you. They don't have a crush on you. They're. They're doing their job. And we all have that buddy who thinks that they have a crush on. Oh, I had a buddy that thought he was, like, dating one.

[B]

What? Dating?

[A]

Yeah. He would drive because we. I was going to school in Arkansas. He'd drive all the way across the state to go to a place called Platinum plus in Memphis. Oh, no. And he went every weekend for, like, four weeks and was like, yeah. I'm like, but do you talk to her ever? No, no, no. But she's so dedicated to her work. Yeah, no crap, buddy. That's what she does. Yeah. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Kids riding in the front seat. What age, Amy?

[B]

Oh, I mean, it also depends on size, but I think it's, like, 12.

[A]

Crazy because we were growing up, you just sat in the front seat, put a seat belt over you, and let it rip. And so now we have two car seats that we bought, and we got a stroller, and, like, I'M learning these things. And they say kids should not sit in the front of cars until they're 15. Okay, 15, 15.

[B]

It's a little. It's a little weird.

[A]

It says, do you think your middle schooler is ready for a ride in the front seat? They most likely aren't because of their size. Kids should not sit in the front seat of cars until they're 15. Studies show that children 14 and under are up to six times more likely to suffer serious injuries if an airbag is to deploy. In children 15 and older, however, airbags reduce the odds of serious injuries by almost 70%. That's from the Oregon Health and Science University. I'm sure they're right. I'm sure that data is absolutely true. It just feels crazy that you don't sit in the front seat till you're 15.

[B]

I know. And it most definitely depends on size. Like, you can use your judgment as a parent because, like, if you have a.

[A]

Judgment's not data. We get into that a lot where it's like, I just use my gut.

[B]

I know, but like, my son's 15 and he's pretty.

[A]

Put him in a car seat.

[B]

Pretty small.

[A]

What if you said, we're gonna get in a car seat today? Because I just read a story that.

[B]

Said no, but I mean, he's pretty small, whereas my boyfriend's son's 15 and he's like 6 foot. So it's very different. Like they're, they look like totally different aged kids, but they're the exact same age. So you just have to use your judgment as a parent.

[A]

I don't have any. Yeah, so I put a baby up there. No car seat. Yeah, you're good. Just tie them in tight and let it rip. We're done. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bone show.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back.
