Hello, Malcolm Glabel here.
Bobby Bones
We're here in New York City with T Mobile for Business recording another episode of Revisionist history about how 5G network slicing strengthens trust and connections across worldwide Internet industries. Slicing can be used for so many different things. We're here with our friends from CNN from Siemens Energy. The ways that it can be used, frankly, are limitless and are really, really built to think through. How can T Mobile understand the pain.
Eddie
Points that our customers have?
Bobby Bones
Smash those pain points and help you deliver very specific outcomes. Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm as the leading auto and homeowners insurer in the US State Farm is there how and where you need them. Whether that's in person, with a local State Farm agent, on the phone, online, or through their mobile app, State Farm can help you find the right coverage for your needs. Don't take a chance with insurance coverage that may not meet your needs. And don't settle for insurance that may only be halfway there. Stop living on a prayer. Get State Farm like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.

Here we go.

Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday Show Morning Studio Morning So we've heard stories where guys find out they're not the dad of the kid. And that sucks because they were lied to. Maybe the woman cheated, whatever, but this story is she had multiple kids and so there were four of them, all his, until he found out one wasn't his. And so then he went and checked and none of them were his.
Eddie
Oh my goodness.
Amy
How. How did that work out that way?
Lunchbox
She cheated on him.
Amy
Yeah, but I understand that part.
Eddie
But like, all don't look like you.
Amy
Like, did they. Or they have another one dad somewhere else or they're four different dads.
Bobby Bones
It didn't go into who the dads were specifically. He went to the hospital with a lawyer and found that a release form been filled out and that his name had been forged on it. And then all the paternity stuff started to come together. It doesn't say if they're individual to the same other person or. But that's a bad day for a dad.
Eddie
Bad day, man. And then what do you do? Like you, you still. You've been their dad for so long, do you continue just being their dad?
Bobby Bones
I think that's a common question. If you find out that one of the kids is not yours. And that does happen with guys where they find out and the kids like seven. And some guys still decide they want to be in the lives of the kid because they raised the kid, even though biologically it's not theirs. And there have been stories that I know where the guy didn't even tell the kid until later because that was the dad. This guy finds out none of the kids were his.
Eddie
Oh my goodness.
Amy
Did she know none of them are his?
Bobby Bones
I would bet she had a good, good clue.
Amy
Well, no, not clue or worried about. She might be concerned, but she doesn't know.
Bobby Bones
But if you're concerned and there, and there are multiple kids, you probably know.
Eddie
And then, Amy, you're concerned, right? And then you look at all your kids and they look just like the dad. That's not the day.
Amy
Well, yeah, I mean, that would be a giveaway.
Bobby Bones
But they're all, they're all the same race. If they were different race.
Eddie
Features, Features, you know what I mean? And then you're just like, oh my gosh, he kind of looks like Billy.
Bobby Bones
There's a story. One in three young people starting at age 11 admit to hitting their parents or like getting angry and throwing stuff at their parents. Because a lot of times we'll talk about should a parent whoop their kid? This is kids hitting parents. Age 13 is peak risk with 15% of middle schoolers reporting parent directed violence in the past year. This is from a child and adolescent psychiatry journal, a European child and adolescent psychiatry journal. Amy, Eddie, lunchbox. What if Your kid hit you?
Eddie
My son's 18. He's never hit me. My other son's 12. He's never hit me. I would never dream of hitting my parents.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I'd have been killed.
Eddie
Like, that wasn't even a thought.
Bobby Bones
If I heard my grandma, she'd pulled a shotgun or baseball bat or. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never would have been a thought.
Amy
I think it's definitely a cause for a closer look at their mental health. Like, what's going on? Do they have anger? They're trying to process, like, what's going on?
Bobby Bones
My 5 year olds hit me too young, though.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He doesn't get mad. I pushed my mom one time. I was 26.
Bobby Bones
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Eddie
Dude, what did you do? What happened?
Amy
Lunchbox.
Eddie
Did you knock her over?
Amy
For what?
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my.
Lunchbox
So it was Christmas Eve.
Bobby Bones
This is also not a young kid story, but okay, I'm into the story. I just want everybody to know. The thing was like 11 to 17, right?
Lunchbox
I know, but I know it didn't fall in the prayer.
Bobby Bones
You're 26. We're in though. Now we're live.
Lunchbox
I just wanted to let you know that it did happen.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You pushed your mom. Go ahead.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it was Christmas Eve at my parents house and we were having game night and it was getting a little heated and my mom kind of got in my face and was, you know, jawing, like, dancing, and I just kind of took my right arm and shoved her left shoulder.
Amy
She's tiny.
Lunchbox
She is tiny. She fell over a chair and so then I hightailed it out of there. I just turned around and left. Got in the car. No, no, no, no. Got in the car.
Amy
You just left?
Lunchbox
I just left, man, because A, you got to remove yourself from the situation. B, how is dad gonna react after I just push mom?
Bobby Bones
Oh, you thought you beat up by your dad.
Lunchbox
Yeah. And so I just left and I drove to my house and they kept calling me and I didn't answer, and I didn't answer. And finally around midnight, I answered when my sister called me. She's like, are you still gonna come to Christmas? It's okay. It's not a big deal. Like, we're all fine.
Bobby Bones
Did you just say I'm never part of the family again? You're moving away?
Lunchbox
No, I. I just thought, man, I'm not gonna go to Christmas tomorrow. It's gonna be awkward for a while.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
So, yeah, I gave my mom a good shove.
Amy
What an interesting way to handle an accident.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Running away. Oh, I'm all good for running away after accident so I can re. Gather my thoughts, but I'm not. I just would never shove my mom because of a game. Yeah, I know.
Amy
It's not like he meant to. And she's small, so, like, I. I guess you didn't even, like, wait to see if she was okay. You just.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's not like she hit her head or anything.
Eddie
She could have.
Lunchbox
I mean, she fell on her butt.
Bobby Bones
Chair.
Lunchbox
But she landed on her butt.
Eddie
It ain't like she was like, hey, note to self. Don't jaw at him after a game.
Bobby Bones
We do. And he gets rage. He gets rage. I know.
Eddie
This is.
Lunchbox
She was. She was up in my face.
Eddie
Dude, if you push your mom, what are you gonna do to us?
Bobby Bones
And it wasn't really worried about it.
Lunchbox
It wasn't really a push. It was more of a. Kind of a stiff arm, like a.
Bobby Bones
All right, she fell and she fell.
Lunchbox
And so there you go. I. I pushed my mom.
Bobby Bones
Now you feel better. Talked about it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I let that out.
Amy
We've never admitted that.
Eddie
Oh, never.
Bobby Bones
Talking about kids, like, I was 37.
Eddie
20.
Lunchbox
26.
Amy
I mean, if you were 26, you had, like, just moved out.
Bobby Bones
What do you mean?
Amy
You went to your own place? Weren't you living with them?
Lunchbox
No, not. No. Well, not at 26.
Amy
What age did you move out?
Lunchbox
Like, 24, 25.
Bobby Bones
Okay, right before that, it's the anonymous in box. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be. Okay, I got one for you, Amy. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm recently engaged, and I'm so excited. Except for one situation that has brought so much anxiety into my life. I have a sister who I'm close with. Not best friend close. She's older than me, and she's always kind of assumed she'd be my maid of honor. The thing is, I've already chose my maid of honor. My best friend of 12 years. It is not my sister. My sister does not know yet. How do I tell her the truth without making her feel rejected or embarrassed? Is there a right way to do it? Sign stuck between sister and best friend.
Amy
Okay, you got some options here.
Bobby Bones
All right?
Amy
This one's probably not ideal, because you didn't even bring it up in the email, but you could have two maids of honor. People do that. People do that.
Bobby Bones
I hear you. That's a. That's a cop out there.
Amy
Okay. Also, I don't know your sister's situation. If she's married, your best Friend is your maid of honor and your sister is your matron of honor also.
Bobby Bones
Kind of a cop out, huh?
Amy
I'm just giving you your options. Third option is the uncomfortable one. And that's where you have to tell your sister that your best friend of 12 years is going to be your maid of honor. And she's a bridesmaid. I'm assuming she's going to be a bridesmaid.
Bobby Bones
Do you. Yeah, I would. I would assume.
Amy
I would assume. So you can have her. I mean, you know, she could stand next to the maid of honor, but it's.
Eddie
It's.
Amy
It's those three options.
Bobby Bones
Do you have to say you're not the maid of honor, or do you just say, hey, here's my bridal party. My maid of honors and my bridesmaids are all.
Amy
I think, given the fact that she already knows this is going to be sensitive, it would be kind to have a just an honest, clear conversation with her sister.
Bobby Bones
How would that go? I'll be the sister.
Amy
Oh, my gosh. Clear is kind. Unclear is unkind. So you just got to, hey, it's me.
Bobby Bones
I'm your older sister. Can't wait to be made of honor.
Amy
Okay, Funny. You're funny image in that. So I've decided. Why you being weird?
Eddie
It's definitely weird.
Amy
You know, my best friend, she's my best friend. We've gone through so much of life together. You're my sister. I love you. She's going to be my maid of honor. I would still love to have you as a bridesmaid. And I hope that you will stand beside me on my wedding day and support these vows.
Bobby Bones
That's what you'd say.
Amy
I mean, something like that. Like.
Eddie
And then you're right.
Amy
I don't know. I would just be like, don't over. Don't use too many words. Then there's like word salad. And then you're, like, trying to protect her. Feeling like how she receives it is. As long as you deliver it in a clear, kind way, you're good. Keep your side of the street good to go. Know that you're being kind and caring towards her feelings. And then she's going to have to process those feelings on her own. You can't control how she feels.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Is that the way that you would recommend her doing?
Amy
That's what I would do if actually, honestly, I'm doing option one or two, just me. But if I decided that I just wanted one maid of honor, then that's the route I would go.
Bobby Bones
Can I give you A little advice about how to have an uncomfortable conversation that does not even reflect this story. So if you have news for somebody that is not going to be pleasant, one, you want to get to it immediately because you start hemming and hawing. I don't. Yeah, well, it's gonna. Yes. So you don't wanna do that. But here's how you start those conversations. I'm gonna tell you something that's not gonna feel good to tell you because it allows them to brace for impact and they know it's coming. And it also allows you to get to it quicker.
Amy
If it's your sister seeing me, like, who died?
Bobby Bones
Well, you're not waiting an hour. You walk in the room, say, hey, I'm gonna tell you something. This is going to be uncomfortable. I don't like to have to tell you this. And that actually gives them a second inside their body to go, oh, what's about to happen is not going to be good. And then what happens most of the time is they think it's going to be something way worse because you set them up for that. And that's why you tell them immediately. And they accept it so much easier because of how you set it up. It allows you to get to it quicker. You preface it by going, this is not going to feel comfortable. It's hard to talk about, but I have to tell you this. And they're like, oh, God, what is it all going to be? And then when you tell them that it's not trivial, but it's definitely not not trivial. So they go, oh. And they take it a little differently, maybe a little better. Any uncomfortable conversation I have, that's how I started where I go, hey, this is not easy to talk about, but here it is. Boom. Say it. You're not going to like this. I don't like having to tell you this, but here's what it is.
Amy
Boom.
Bobby Bones
Say it. It helps in a couple different ways.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So that'd be my advice. Or cancel the wedding.
Amy
Don't have a bridal party.
Bobby Bones
All right, there you go. Close it up. Here are my critiques of the halftime shows last night. I'll do the Bad Bunny one first. Which, by the way, is now the record most viewed halftime show ever, which that happens almost every year, but okay, this year, that's the most viewed ever. I didn't know any other songs, so it lost me. It looked cool, but I know any of the songs. So the good was it looked cool. My critique is I know any of the songs I don't know Much Spanish. The Spanish I do know. It's from living in Texas and having all Hispanic and Mexican friends and they have to talk slower for me to get it. So fine, whatever. It wasn't for me. I'm okay if things aren't for me. I watched the other halftime show. The good was I knew some of the songs, so some of them I knew. The bad was I could tell it was taped. It was recorded.
Amy
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I didn't. I didn't see it.
Bobby Bones
So, yeah, it was recorded. It looked like it was on America's Got Talent stage. Like, the stage looked cheap, but I knew some of the songs. It also felt like infomercial because they were selling stuff like merch beforehand.
Amy
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
That's funny.
Bobby Bones
So. But I had them both on just overall halftime. Not a good year for me. Just generally speaking. That's my official review. But who cares? Like, things don't have to be for me. I don't get upset if things aren't for me. But the NFL did what they were hoping, which was they're now. And this was all a business move by the NFL. They are going into South America. They are going into Spain. Like, it's an international growth. That's why they're doing nine games next year in other countries.
Amy
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
And also, he's the biggest artist in the world and he's American.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So not the greatest me year for the halftime shows, which some people still.
Amy
Don'T seem to understand that he's American.
Eddie
Yeah. It's easy, guys.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Puerto Rico, American.
Bobby Bones
So generally speaking. Yeah, not for me at halftime, but that's okay.
Amy
I still was. Even though I didn't know the words, like, I was still entertained. And something about his music just kind of makes you want to move.
Bobby Bones
I was trying to understand some of it. Lady Gaga. It's just so fast. Yeah, Lady Gaga was good.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So that's my official review. You didn't watch either one of them?
Amy
I watched Bad Bunny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Your thoughts?
Amy
Yeah, I was entertained. I thought I was good.
Eddie
The.
Amy
When he fell through the ceiling, I. I had. I was recording something, so I had that. And at first I was like, oh, my gosh, that's so cool. And there's, like, people in there. Like, I was thinking there was like a family inside there. And that's the footage. But that was obviously pre taped.
Bobby Bones
That part when he fell through was pre taped.
Amy
Yeah, but I didn't like, initially, I was like, oh, that's legit. They have this whole setup in there. And they're filming, and then he comes out, kicks the door, dust his shoulder off. And then I was like, oh, he, like, fell through there. They caught him and then went out. There's no family sitting inside the little house.
Bobby Bones
I mean, this is how out of touch I am. I know Bad Bunny most from wrestling because he was a wrestler for a while.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Didn't know that.
Amy
I didn't know that. I don't know why I would, but I just haven't heard that.
Eddie
That's interesting.
Bobby Bones
Well, he not like, he wrestled. You know how Jelly Roll did a stint?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think he had a slightly larger stint, but he was good. Oh, yeah. So Bad Bunny was a wrestler? I know him from wwe.
Amy
Interesting. Was his name Bad Bunny?
Bobby Bones
No, he was Bad Bunny.
Eddie
Like, Jelly Roll.
Lunchbox
It was just, like, a guest appearance.
Amy
I get it now.
Eddie
He wasn't like, the stone.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Stone cold Steve Austin.
Bobby Bones
Mike, you are a Bad Bunny fan. I loved it. Yeah. Knew all the songs, thought the performance was amazing.
Amy
Well, you're bilingual.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
You are bilingual, too.
Bobby Bones
But, yeah, that performance was for me.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
My wife liked it because she is a fan of Bad Bunny, but she's also 11 years old, younger than I am, so. Game was terrible. It was a terrible game. Like, it was probably the worst Super Bowl I've ever sat through.
Amy
I actually stopped watching after halftime, went home because it was getting late. Yeah, it was very. I mean, the first quarter. Wow.
Bobby Bones
We were in San Francisco for part of the week last week. San Francisco's an awesome city. And Eddie kept screaming, this is my city, guys. I kept taking pictures at, like, random corners because he was like, this is the greatest city.
Eddie
It's so cool.
Bobby Bones
It's a cool city.
Eddie
Like, it almost feels like New York. It's so busy, you know, like. Like, people walk everywhere, but then you're right by the ocean, and it's beautiful with mountains everywhere. Like, dude, I was in love with San Francisco.
Bobby Bones
Eddie rode in a Waymo, one of those Ubers that don't have a driver.
Eddie
Guys, that was crazy. It's almost like. Like, you know, you go to, like, Disneyland or whatever, and there's just, like, a ride where you have no control over. But honestly, I wasn't scared, like, not once.
Amy
I feel like if you're gonna ride Awaymo, though, they're. They're. They're a little more experienced there. So I feel like that if that's the place to try it, you know, you go where they have more experience.
Eddie
I will say, though, that, like, police officers like doing traffic control are getting.
Bobby Bones
Really upset with the waymos because they not recognize humans.
Eddie
Well, they were just like, go, stop. Wait, go, go. In the way was like, do I go?
Bobby Bones
Do I don't listen to humans?
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't weird.
Eddie
It was weird.
Bobby Bones
Where did you sit?
Eddie
In the backseat?
Bobby Bones
Could you sit in the front passenger?
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could. That was an option.
Bobby Bones
And then what was on? Because there's no driver. What was on? Like the dash. On the dash.
Eddie
You could do whatever you want. You want to play your Spotify, your whatever music, anything you want, it's yours. It's like you control the aux. So it.
Bobby Bones
I didn't want to download another app.
Amy
Yeah, I mean you're probably eventually going to though.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
To get the Waymo app. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Eddie was like trying to download the app and then he couldn't get one to come to him. And then he was like, ah, screw this. And so he did it the next day. It doesn't feel like I have too many apps.
Eddie
It's a lot.
Bobby Bones
It's like close. Sometimes you just gotta clean it out. I wish I could donate my apps because I would donate them. Bones. Between work, family and everything else, cancer screenings can get put off.

Bobby Bones
Haven'T found Savannah Guthrie's mom. So surprised that it's still on. The children of Nancy Guthrie, which, by the way, she's 84, Savannah being one of them, put out another video over the weekend.
Amy
We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her.
Bobby Bones
This is the only way we will have peace.
Amy
This is very valuable to us and we will pay.
Bobby Bones
They said they would pay. There was also some language in there like return and celebrate. And obviously they're doing what the FBI is saying and saying the words the FBI saying to say. But that sounds like she's not alive and they just want her return. But again, that's just me.
Amy
Yeah, I, I guess I, I know when I saw that I had to watch it over and over because the very end it's like we will pay and it cuts off and the pay is kind of. And I'm like, did she just say we will pay? We will pay, we'll pay. So I guess tonight at 5:5pm is the deadline for $6 million. However, they don't have proof of life. They don't even know that these ransom notes are real. They're treating them as they are because there was a demand on Thursday. First four million and now tonight is six million. And one clue that maybe they're scammers is that they said equivalent to 6 million USD. And if you're domestic, you don't really.
Bobby Bones
Say USD unless you're domestic and you want people to think you're not domestic.
Amy
And then there's that, and then you.
Bobby Bones
Say that and then you mess up your verbiage on purpose so they think you're not.
Eddie
Yeah, that's. That's smart.
Bobby Bones
There was a guy that got arrested for sending a fake ransom note. So he's from LA and he sent the fake ransom note. His name, his last name is Hawthorne. No, I guess that's the town he's from. Hawthorne resident Derek Colella sent text messages to Nancy's daughter and son in law demanding payment in bitcoin. Investigators said the messages were traced to Kalela's home and he admitted to sending the texts. He is charged in federal court with transmitting a ransom. Da, da, da. That's from a family. But here's a guy trying to fake it. So, yeah, they don't know.
Amy
Obviously everybody in her orbit is a suspect. That's what they're. I mean, I'm treating everybody.
Bobby Bones
The reporter that we talked about last week that said that the son in law was the main suspect, she's doubling down. She's like, I've been in this business for, you know, 20 or 30 years. I have so many sources and contacts at the FBI. That is still what I'm hearing.
Amy
They searched their house. Annie, that's her, Savannah's sister and her husband on Saturday night, I think. And they were the. The daughter was the last person to see the mom. But that doesn't mean anything.
Bobby Bones
It's just they were also looking in the septic tank and saw that. They're just looking for anything. And I think if we read too much into anything at this point, we could possibly be chasing something that's not even, you know, one of the. Or who, I don't know. It's just so bizarre.
Amy
It's so bizarre.
Bobby Bones
It's like a movie and we're watching.
Amy
It unfold in real time.
Bobby Bones
One of the notes that she had read on screen, there was some verbiage that was like Silence of the Lambs. And people were like, this is straight from a movie. But what that is, I think it was Silence of the Lambs. But what that is is that's what the FBI tells them to say. I think they even took it from other hostage type situations or ransom type situations.
Eddie
So if there's no proof of life or anything, do you pay the ransom anyway and then just hope that they're real?
Amy
I don't think.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Amy
I mean, that would be very difficult.
Bobby Bones
I've never heard of a situation like this before. Yeah, in my lifetime, I've seen a million in the movies and on television, but I've never heard of a situation like this. And a lot of times they don't want situations like this to get a bunch of news because it encourages other people to do things like this. However, this one started with her mom's Ms. She's famous, and then her mom goes missing. So that became like a general interest story. Well, now she's not going to the Olympics because they can't find her mom and she's famous. Well, then it is snowballed into this. Now, did whomever is sending the ransom notes see this story and go, we could probably scam some money out of this? Or does somebody really have the mom? Like, we don't know.
Amy
Oh, some of the conspiracy theories I see online are crazy. I have to, like, click out of.
Bobby Bones
One, never look at the comments.
Amy
Well, it's not that I'm looking at the comments. It's like, certain videos will pop up because clearly I've shown interest in this. And then I'm like, what? This is crazy. I have to swipe out. Because if this crazy thought is even a tiny bit real, then the world is like, it's completely messed up. Far more messed up than I even have comprehension for.
Bobby Bones
That's the latest that we know of that. I'm so surprised that we're here on Monday and we still know nothing. We still. And they know a lot more than we do. Obviously. They're only sharing the things they think they can share in order to help this situation move along. So they may know. Exactly. They may have proof of life.
Eddie
Yeah, right. We just don't know that and we.
Bobby Bones
Don'T deserve to know that. No, it's not.
Eddie
It's none of our business.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, so there's the update there. Amy, what do you have going on during week two of the Sound Reset Challenge?
Amy
Week two is all about meditation. So each week we're going to be challenging you with an assignment, one impactful step to reach your 2026 goals. Now, inspired by my conversation with Dan Harris and his book, 10% Happier available on Audible, your week two challenge is to Try meditation. So yeah, this week we're going to all give it a try. See if you can meditate for 10 minutes a day or even just five minutes. Something is better than nothing. You got to find yourself a quiet space. You can sit or lay down. Just make sure that your spine is straight. You can set a timer and begin to breathe. Feel the sensations of your breath going in and out. If a thought distracts you, that's totally normal. Just notice it and then gracefully come back to focusing on your breath. It may not be easy at first, trust me. But just like fitness, the more you practice, the easier it will become. And if you already practice, maybe use this week to check in and see if you can go a little deeper. To hear my full conversation with dan, head to bobbybones.com and for more of his journey with mindfulness, listen to his book 10% happier only on Audible. All of this is brought to you by Audible. Audible's wellbeing collection has everything to inspire and support you in every step of your wellbeing journey.

Amy
Okay. A cleaner is going viral after sharing something that their client did. So they show up at the apartment to clean and they find this note to our cleaner. We hid 100 mini ducks around the apartment. We do this to ensure a job well done. Please leave all the ducks in this jar. And then they signed their names. So the result is there was 100 ducks. The cleaner found 76 of them, contacted the client, and ultimately quit because, like, I don't know, the whole thing just seems crazy and completely disrespectful.
Bobby Bones
So you say loser move.
Amy
I think it's a total loser move. I understand that you want a job.
Bobby Bones
Well done, but there's 24 ducks in places that didn't get cleaned.
Amy
Little nooks and crannies.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
And there were pictures included on the viral posts of, like, some of the ducks around the open, like a sponge, like sitting on top of the sponge on the kitchen sink. But then others were, like, tucked behind a little couch corner. I mean, it just seems like a little ridiculous.
Bobby Bones
It does seem ridiculous. And I also think if you have somebody come over to clean is one thing, but like a deep clean, like, if you're Having to move houses because I've had to hire somebody if we move to do a deep clean of a place, they have to scrub out. I'm never doing the ducks thing. That does feel like, here's some $3 on the table to the waiter, and every time you do bad, I'm picking up one of the dollars.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
It feels like that.
Amy
It is giving that energy.
Bobby Bones
Yes. So I don't like the feeling of it, but I understand. Maybe you've had bad experience with other cleaners. I don't know. I don't like the ducks thing. It feels douchey.
Amy
Yeah. Loser move.
Bobby Bones
How do you not find 24 ducks, though?
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's a lot of ducks.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot.
Lunchbox
Moving things tiny.
Bobby Bones
Actually, that company does not give me confidence.
Eddie
Oh, are they the little tiny glass ducks?
Amy
Yeah, I used to have one on my desk.
Eddie
I was picturing the big rubber ducks.
Bobby Bones
Well, I think some are big, some are small, or there are some around the open, some aren't.
Amy
They're the little, teeny, tiny ones. And yeah, I believe that if they didn't find them, it's just because they didn't clean every nook and cranny. But who does?
Bobby Bones
Well, I think you're hiring somebody. Yeah. To clean every nook and cranny. I just think the. Listen, if you're paying money, that's acceptable. It's fine. They were, like, hiding them in the plant, like inside of the plant.
Amy
Yeah, I know.
Bobby Bones
But, yeah, I think that's fine to do. It's just going to be hard to find people that are going to work for someone who treats their people like that.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And also yet at, like, duck 50 and they're not finding them as quick as they thought. They have to be like, oh, man, we're never getting paid for this. They were putting them, like, inside the refrigerator, like, behind bottles.
Amy
Oh, man, it did make me think, like, do you want to do something like this with my kids, though?
Bobby Bones
I. I like, again, I don't hate it if they're in trouble. Yes. But if you're hiring somebody and you want them consistent and to do good, quality work, they're gonna quit. Because this is again, it's like you said, it's the energy of someone when you're waiting. Who's that? Your dad?
Eddie
My dad? Yeah. Five dollar bills and be like, all right. That's just like, oh, you haven't brought my water yet.
Amy
Oh, I'd be mortified.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so loser move or legit move, Eddie?
Eddie
I think it'd be Fun. Like, even for the cleaning team, it'd be kind of a fun little game. They quit until you can't find those 20, and you're just like, this is so stupid. So I'm gonna say loser. I'm gonna say loser move, because it's impossible.
Bobby Bones
I also, I think to myself, how could they not find 24 ducks?
Lunchbox
That is a lot of ducks not to find.
Eddie
Well, because you're not looking in the planter. You're not looking.
Bobby Bones
But if there's four, I'm like, they didn't find 100. They got 96. I get it. 24. Are you even cleaning?
Lunchbox
They missed 25 almost of the ducks. That means they're missing 25% of my house that they are not cleaning. So I think it's a legit move. It's like a test. Like, when kids go to school, they learn something, they have to take a test on it. I hired you to do something. The test is, can you pass? Sorry, you're not good enough for the job. Legit move.
Eddie
I think some of these cleaning teams, too. Like, they have four houses they got to do in a day or whatever. If you're not finding those dust.
Bobby Bones
That's not an excuse, though, to not do a good job.
Amy
And in this case, it sounds like it was just one housekeeper.
Lunchbox
Sorry.
Amy
Like, one person not cut out for the job.
Lunchbox
She doesn't want to work hard.
Bobby Bones
I'm 6. 60% loser move. 40. Legit move. But I think if. And 90 is an A. If you find 90 of the hundred ducks, you're good.
Eddie
Full price. You get paid full price.
Bobby Bones
If you. Anything below, I start taking dollars off the table.
Amy
It's like, I want to know if the homeowners could even walk in their house and tell you where those 24 ducks were.
Eddie
Yeah, exactly right.
Bobby Bones
Go find all the ducks. You're like, oh, they probably couldn't.
Amy
Yeah, they probably, like, shoot. Where'd I put that one, Bones?
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
Jason Momoa. Okay, number four answer.

It's not funny.
Bobby Bones
Go. Chicken noodle soup. Do it.
Eddie
Do it, Morgan.
Bobby Bones
Name the famous Jason.
Amy
I don't have anything else. Jason's Deli.
Bobby Bones
The Deli. Jason's Deli. No, Eddie.

Bobby Bones

Eddie

Bobby Bones
Jason Siegel.
Amy
Who's that?
Bobby Bones
He's a How I met your mother. All the Muppets. He just writes the Muppet movies.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie
Yeah. Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Amy
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Okay.
Bobby Bones
Big tall guy.
Eddie
Jason.
Bobby Bones
That was worth nine points.
Amy
Wow.
Lunchbox
Pretty good.
Eddie
Jason Johnson.
Bobby Bones
Did you make that up?
Eddie
Yes, I did.
Bobby Bones
Jason Johnson. All right, three left. Amy. Okay, you have 11 points. The 6 and 8 and 10 answers are on the board.
Amy
Jason Isbell.
Bobby Bones
Solid. He's probably not on country singer. Jason Isbell. All right, points are doubled.
Amy
Morgan, I don't think I know any other Jason's off the top of my head.
Bobby Bones
I can tell you. Everybody knows these Jason's. There's nobody crazy on.
Amy
I'm, like, walking through so many. The one that I was, like, thinking of, I don't think his name's Jason.
Lunchbox
I think.
Amy
I think it's like Jensen and not Jason, but Ackelman. Jason Ackelman.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what you're saying Ackelman.
Amy
I think he's in, like, Vampire Diaries or something.
Bobby Bones
Jason Ackleman.
Amy
I think it might be Jensen.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, you need some points here. You're in last place.
Eddie
This is the second round, though, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. There's only three answers.
Eddie
I know. I got you Jason Hiddleston.
Amy
Who's that?
Eddie
I have a strategy.
Amy
Oh, you're skipping to third round.
Bobby Bones
You don't need it doesn't matter. I'm not questioning your strategy. Jason Hiddleston. Amy, last round points are tripled.
Amy
Jason Derulo. Did you already do that? Yep.
Eddie
He was so excited.
Bobby Bones
She thought she discovered the new world.
Lunchbox
I did.
Amy
I forgot Morgan did it. I even have it written down that she did it. I just couldn't. I don't know, guys. I was going through the Alphabet.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you actually said that one.
Amy
I was trying to go through the Alphabet, Morgan. Yeah, yeah. I. I keep going to fictional things, and I know they're not on this list, but that's what keeps coming into my head.
Bobby Bones
Name it. Jason.
Amy
Jason.
Bobby Bones
Who are you?
Amy
Jason. Jason.
Bobby Bones
Ha.
Amy
Jason. Jason Bourne.
Bobby Bones
I. Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
Very creative.
Amy
It's a visual character.
Bobby Bones
Is that his name? I didn't say it had to be a real person. Jason Bourne is played by Matt Damon in all the Bourne movies. Show me Jason Bourne. We'll see if Eddie's strategy paid off. Dude.
Eddie
For the home run. Because I knew they would never guess this, but Amy brought it up. The guy in the mask. And I'm like, oh, I know his last name.
Bobby Bones
The who?
Eddie
The guy in the mask. Jason. It's Jason Voorhees. Give me Jason Voorhees. The killer. Come on.
Bobby Bones
For the win.
Amy
I think Bobby would say Amy. Be more specific.
Eddie
No. Come on, dude. Give it to me. Give it to me. Jason Voorhees.
Bobby Bones
Did you have another guess?
Eddie
If it wasn't Voorhees, a home run or nothing.
Bobby Bones
Show me Jason Voorhees.
Eddie
It didn't work.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I didn't.
Eddie
My strategy did not work.
Bobby Bones
You two are tied. Do you want to tie? It doesn't matter. Or do you want to me give a hint?
Eddie
It's me and. Me and Amy.
Bobby Bones
You're out. You've lost. You will not play next round. Got it?
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, I'll give you a hint. Ready? Hint. Number one.
Amy
Are we just buzzing in?
Bobby Bones
Just say your name. Football player. Former football player.
Amy
Amy.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
I don't know. Jason Kelce.
Bobby Bones
Correct.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
So good. Next. That's worth six points. Next one. Singer, Acoustic guitar. Amy.
Amy
Jason Mraz.
Bobby Bones
Correct.
Amy
Okay, I just need hints.
Bobby Bones
Next one. Okay. Short actor, bald 90s.
Amy
Oh, that's not Jason Statham. Does he play George?
Bobby Bones
Also? Britney Spears is.
Amy
He's in Pretty Woman too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
His name's Jason.
Eddie
Britney Spears is what?
Bobby Bones
Ex.
Lunchbox
Ex husband.
Bobby Bones
Not the same guy. Same name though. Okay.
Eddie
I was like, really?
Amy
Wait, is what Jason Federline?
Bobby Bones
No. Jason Alexander. Jason Alexander.
Amy
Jason Alexander. Yeah.
Bobby Bones

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 the Way forward is electric. Learn more@electricforall.org Picture this me, Reese Witherspoon in London, ordering fish and chips so often they might start wrapping me in paper. I'm traveling with my Wells Fargo Autograph Journey card, so I earn rewards wherever I book travel five times points with hotels, four times with airlines, three times on restaurants and other travel, and one point on other purchases. Imagine getting rewarded for eating a toad in the hole. Wait, what is a toad in a hole?
Bobby Bones
Visit wells Fargo.com autograph journey terms apply. If you're trying to declutter, there's a ifs and butts rule. When you're thinking about getting rid of something and you hear yourself go, I'd like this if it wasn't itchy, or I'd wear this to sleep a little longer, or if I lost a little way, or if, if, if. That's when you know you should give it away. If you if and butt it. Are you good at getting rid of stuff?
Amy
I've gotten better at it, so, yeah. I would put myself in the category of, like, good discernment on whether or not you keep it or not.
Bobby Bones
The only way I keep if I'm in that mode is if I am absolutely 100 dedicated to it. If there's even a 10, like, I don't gone. Gone out the house.
Amy
Last year, I saw a psychologist talk about, you know, like, giving your items a performance review like you would at work.
Eddie
Oh, that's cool.
Amy
And if. If. If they don get a good performance for you, they're fired. Like, you know, when you buy something that's technically, you're hired to do a job for you.
Bobby Bones
Because a lot of my stuff, I'll be like, I'm not gonna. I want to buy this, but it's too nice. I'm not gonna wear it until the right thing, and then it gets two years later. And, like, I don't never even wore it. The review is incomplete. I get rid of that stuff with tags. There's, like, place near our house. We'll get stuff with tags on it. Because I'm like, I'm not gonna use it. Somebody can, so let me donate it.
Amy
Okay? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
If it doesn't scream, we had a good life together, it's out the house. Whenever I'm in the mode, it is out the house because I will. Stuff will accumulate like crazy. I'm not a clutterer. You are.
Amy
No, I'm not.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox is Mr. Clutter.
Lunchbox
Oh, I'm a clutter. Let me tell you. I have seven Kansas Jayhawk hoodies. And, I mean, why do I have seven of them? I don't know. But I can't let go of it because I got it 12 years ago. It's faded, it looks worn, but guess what? Still gonna wear it.
Bobby Bones
The only thing I have that has holes in it. My underwear. Because for a dude, it's so hard to, like, have good underwear. Correct. It fit. They don't.
Amy
It's not that hard. Order the same pair.
Bobby Bones
No, it's not always the same.
Eddie
The material's different.
Bobby Bones
Material. You know, sometimes they change material. Sometimes it's just a good year. It's like wine. You know the 1998 Fruit of the Looms? Really?
Eddie
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
They produce those. Chef's Kiss, but that's the rule. But if you're decluttering, if you get it, if. Or if you get a butt, just get rid of it if you can, because obviously you're looking to make some room anyway. Do you spring clean?
Amy
I don't know that I'm like, I have a set calendar in this springtime. But, yes, when seasons turn over, whether it's spring, summer, winter, I do, like, an audit.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I think when I have to move clothes because I have cold weather, like, sweaters that take up the whole closet. Whenever I have to move that to, like, the other part of the closet, little shelf, I'm like, okay, I'm ever gonna wear this? That's when I do my performance reviews.
Amy
I got some clear plastic bins. That way I can see in them, and I know where they are. And I've got them in my Container Store. Yeah, I got them at Home Depot.
Bobby Bones
Organized Container Store.
Amy
No. So the. The stuff that I feel more sentimental about, like my marathon t shirt from 2001. You know, like, I ran Motorola marathon. Like, I. I don't need the shirt, but I want to keep it. So that went into the plastic B attic. So I've got stuff like that that I don't have to keep.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Good performance review.
Amy
Well, that was a special you want.
Bobby Bones
To wear in flex occasionally.
Amy
No, I would never. I would never wear it.
Bobby Bones
It's a memory box thing.
Amy
It's a memory box thing. But there's other shirts. Like, I have sorority date night shirts in that box. Like, why do I need.
Eddie
When you want to forget that night?
Amy
Like, there's stuff like that where I've had to audit, but they don't. They don't get donated. They go into the clear, sentimental box. So I always know where they are in case. I mean, what if My daughter. She's not.
Bobby Bones
She's not. Yeah. I got two for you here. This woman had a stroke after cracking her neck. You know how people take their. The bottom of their hand, they put it on their chin, they pop their neck. So she was driving home from Walmart. She kind of felt a pain in her neck, so she stretched it to the right and then she cracked it. And then she had a stroke. Oh. She was rushed to the hospital by her husband. Turns out she had a stroke from cracking her neck.
Eddie
Terrible.
Amy
What was the stroke coming and this just expedited it?
Bobby Bones
Possibly. I don't think we have a way of knowing that, but possibly.
Amy
But also, yeah. I do not pop my own neck.
Bobby Bones
She said she got over the counter pain medicine for the next five days she was seeing a doctor. Then it got much worse. And then she popped her neck. And then a bright light flashed in her eye. She lost her vision. Her vision came back after 15 minutes, but the right side of her body went numb. She could not speak clearly. Her husband rushed her to the hospital where doctors said she suffered a stroke. The neck crack tore an artery, which caused a blood clot to travel to the brain.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So it did cause the clot dissolved on its own. Luckily, she did not need surgery. She has made a full recovery from Oddity Central. But she was cracking her neck, tore something and had a stroke.
Eddie
Oh, wow.
Bobby Bones
That is crazy. Another one. And I thought the picture was AI when I saw it. You see the picture of this woman and behind her she's doing a selfie. And behind her is a snow leopard. And the snow leopards not mean and mad, but ain't happy. The snow. You can see the snow leopard's teeth. I thought someone had made that picture, like, look at me in the snow. Nope. Chilling photo shows skiing tourists taking selfie with rare snow leopard moments before a mauleder face. Whoa. It's so close to her. If you were in your chair now to lean all the way back to flat and put your hands back, that's about where the snow leopard was.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
And you could see it. It was wild. Again, I thought it was AI. So she was left seriously injured after the attack. This skier moved dangerously close to the wild animal while trying to take a photo on her way back to the hotel. This is from Daily Mail. Video footage taken moments later shows the woman trapped underneath the leopard. Look at the snow leopard.
Amy
Oh, wow. That's crazy.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like I said. Doesn't that look AI?
Eddie
Yeah, it looks fake.
Bobby Bones
And again, it looks like it's posing for the picture, but I think it's just getting ready to pounce and eat her. Oh, the skier was saved. Her life was saved because she had a helmet on. On. You can see in the picture that she's wearing it. What's the number one rule of selfies? Because there are two rules.
Lunchbox
Number one, don't get close to the edge.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Lunchbox
Number two, don't get close to animals.
Eddie
Don't do it with animals.
Bobby Bones
Well, don't do it with animals. Also, don't take a picture with animals. Do it with animals and get you sent to jail.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what I meant.
Bobby Bones
She lived, but she got.
Lunchbox
God, I mean, that is so close.
Bobby Bones
That's so close.
Eddie
Have you seen the one where the girl is skiing and there's a bear, like, just running behind her while she's skiing, but she's flying down the hill?
Bobby Bones
I thought that was AI.
Eddie
It might be, man.
Bobby Bones
Honestly, any of those that I see where the bear's chasing people, I feel like that's all AI. Okay.
Eddie
It might be.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you don't know.
Eddie
I have no idea.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, there you have it. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning. Like these. Riding his wigs next. Bobby's on the mic.
Amy
So you know what?
Bobby Bones
This is. The Bobby bone. Amy has told me the Cornies all this week will be Valentine's Day themed.
Amy
Or, like, love couples.
Bobby Bones
Okay. All right, here we go. Morning Corny.
Lunchbox
The morning Corny.
Amy
Why did the cute couple end up in prison?
Bobby Bones
Why did the cute couple end up in prison?
Amy
They stole each other's hearts.
Bobby Bones
That's a bad. That's a bad one.
Lunchbox
Morning, Courtney.
Bobby Bones
That's just a bad one.
Amy
God, you never know with you guys.
Bobby Bones

Amy
He likes it. You don't.
Bobby Bones

Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Give us another one. That was like D plus. You got start off the week with a new theme. Okay, go ahead. You gonna do it with the music? Are you demanding the music?
Amy
Yeah, I'm demanding the music.
Bobby Bones

Eddie
I want to hear this.
Bobby Bones
Do it. Say it as is and we'll bleep it.
Amy
Okay.
Eddie
All right.
Bobby Bones
Do you want. Do you have After Dark pulled up already or do you want to just. We can just go with the normal. She kind of threw this on you here.
Amy
Well, I've been working on it. I've been putting it together.
Bobby Bones
I need you to commit to this. And now the Morning Corny After Dark.
Amy
How did Burger King get Dairy Queen Queen pregnant?
Bobby Bones
How did Burger King get Dairy Queen pregnant?
Amy
He forgot to wrap his waffer.
Sponsor/Announcer
That was Morning Corny After Dark.
Lunchbox
We'll bleep that.
Bobby Bones
But that one wasn't even that bad. It was still bad enough.
Amy
It's After Dark, though. Like, some of these are.
Bobby Bones
Can you go hard?
Amy
I can't waste them all.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
I've been working on putting these together, but let me see.
Bobby Bones
We'll bleep it.
Amy
I mean, they're not that. They're not that bad.
Bobby Bones
Ray, hit us with one more.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And now the Morning Corning After Dark.

It's pretty good.
Lunchbox
Not bad way to bleep those.
Bobby Bones
You can hear them on the podcast, though. That'll be on part one and we'll do more part two.
Amy
Well, okay. Yes. And then I feel like you want to do them today or do we sprinkle them in because it's Valentine's Week After Dark.
Bobby Bones
We can do a whole set of them today on the podcast.
Amy
Podcast, yeah.
Bobby Bones
We can't do. We can't do After Darks every morning.
Amy
But now I feel like I. I wasted two good ones.
Bobby Bones
You didn't waste them because we got enjoyment out of it.
Eddie
Yeah, we liked them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay. But when I look at my compilation as a whole now, it's lacking.
Bobby Bones
So let me then do better and fill it up more.
Amy
I'll fill it back up with some more.
Bobby Bones
Because we enjoyed that, guys. We enjoyed that. Right? All right, there we go. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead. Glory of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Clearwater, Florida. A 32 year old man wanted to impress a girl, take her out, got her in the car. He's like, don't worry, I'm gonna stop, buy you some flowers. Goes in, buys some flowers, gives them to her, drives her to the bar. Let's go in, have a drink. Goes in, hey, let me pay my tab. Only problem is he used counterfeit money. Bartender notice like, oh, yeah, thanks. They called Cops. He got arrested while he's on his date.
Amy
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
I'd like to rewind. Amy, ever been on a date where a guy goes, don't you worry. I'm gonna go in and get you flowers? Like, I feel like even that order is off. Like, you have the flowers and you give them to them at the date. Or if you stop and you have to go into the gas station or the grocery store, you get the flowers while you're in without announcing, I'm gonna stop and get you some flowers.
Amy
Don't you worry. I got you. Yeah. No, that's never happened to me.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I didn't. It just didn't feel like the timing was right. Even the flowers part.
Amy
Nor have I been out with someone where they've been arrested on our date.
Eddie
Oh.
Bobby Bones
What about if you've ever been out with someone who used counterfeit money?
Amy
Not that I know of.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Because really good counterfeit money is hard to come by. Right, boys?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
All right, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
Let's go and talk to Rex, who lives in Ohio. Rex, you're on the show. Say, I got a question for you. Yes, sir? Wanted to know why bluegrass isn't considered country music.
Amy
Or is it.
Bobby Bones
Bluegrass was born inside of country music, so it is the same way that rock was really based in blues. So bluegrass probably the 40s or. So bluegrass was the early version of country music. The country music kind of came from. Bluegrass has just acoustic instruments where country music then turned into more commercial sounds, electric guitars, etc. It is country, though. It actually is more country than what's country now. But as country has evolved, bluegrass has pretty much stayed somewhat similar. So it is. I. I think that's probably the best answer there. It is country music. It's just the early part of country music. Oh, okay. I just noticed on the CMA Awards, they. They never even mentioned bluegrass, and nobody plays it on the radio neither. They do give bluegrass awards out. They didn't make the television version of the Grammy awards, But bluegrass does have categories, and, yeah, they didn't play it, but there are at times people like Billy Strings who make it super commercially popular. Derek Spentley is a big bluegrass guy, Put out a whole bluegrass album. But bluegrass is country. It's just a very, very much older version of country that stayed as country changed. Do you feel like that's. That's a good answer for you? Yeah, I guess that works. Well, that's it. The same way that blues is the formation of rock and gospel is kind of the reason that soul ends up happening. Country music comes from bluegrass music. So I hope that ends. Yeah, well if I'd fact check all that, but yeah. Well, I appreciate that. Call Rex. Thank you very much. Hope you have a great rest of the day. Yeah, bye. All right, see you later and we will see you guys tomorrow. All right, Bye everybody.

Credit stop if you cancel any lines. Qualifying credit required. Honestly, honestly, honestly, no one wants to think about hiv. But there are things that everyone can do to help prevent it. Things like prep. PREP stands for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis and it means routinely taking prescription medicine before you're exposed to HIV to help reduce your chances of getting it. Prep can be about 99% effective when taken as prescribed. It doesn't protect against other STIs though, so be sure to use condoms and other healthy sex practices. Ask a healthcare provider about all your prevention Options and visit findoutaboutprep.com to learn more.

Host: Bobby Bones
Cast: Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox, Morgan
This Monday episode of The Bobby Bones Show is packed with amusing banter, pop culture commentary, and candid storytelling by Bobby and his crew. They debate the Super Bowl halftime shows, share wild family stories (including an infamous Lunchbox moment), handle listener dilemmas, play “Bobby Feud: Famous Jasons,” and sprinkle in quirky bits like decluttering tips and Corny Valentine's jokes.
The tone is relaxed, comedic, and conversational — much of the humor is self-deprecating or bantering in nature. While some segments touch on more serious news (Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom), the general style is light, friendly, and rooted in the camaraderie and distinct personalities of the hosts.
This episode blends the best of The Bobby Bones Show: pop-culture debates, relatable listener advice, wild personal confessions, and the usual fun and games. Whether you’re interested in the halftime show controversy, want a laugh from “Morning Corny,” or are curious which celebrity Jasons make the cut, there’s something here for everyone, all delivered in the show’s trademark quick-witted, playful manner.
