Okay, rides. When you said ride, that's what triggered. I'm stupid. I shouldn't have laughed at you. I apologize. Number four, lunch.

Bobby Bones
You're like, you know, show me stadium.
Lunchbox
No, I haven't. No, I have not said it.
Bobby Bones
You said stadium twice in that. And you guys try to stretch the stuff out so you can say, like, seven things and encompassing compasses. Answers.

Amy
Not my category. Okay, places.
Bobby Bones
You gotta wait in line.

Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
They'Re not the same because you.
Lunchbox
Can go to a bar.
Amy
Yeah, well, then amusement park. The same thing.
Eddie
That's what we said, right?
Bobby Bones
That's why. That's why I canceled the whole thing. Because you want. You said rides. It was like, because I didn't want to give it to you. There's no bar or club, by the way. They're both wrong.

Amy

Bobby Bones
The mail store.
Amy
Yeah. It could be like.
Bailey Zimmerman
It works.
Bobby Bones
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Amy
I'm panicking over here.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Morgan, you're on the board. That was worth double points. You have 18.
Amy
Hey, I'll take it.
Eddie
Oh, good job.
Amy
That's a big win. Okay, where else would I go and wait in line? Retail store was already in Amy's. That was another place. I was thinking, name a place where.
Bobby Bones
You wait in line.
Amy
You do wait in line a lot at the mall, but, like, that's retail. Okay, five seconds.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Where else do you wait in line? At a stoplight. Wow. Sitting in traffic at a stoplight.

Bobby Bones
Your number two aunt. Why are you so mad? Because she got theme park.
Lunchbox
No, no. Doctor's office. You don't wait in line. There is no line at the doctor.
Bobby Bones
You're arguing with the list. That's not a line. The pharmacy and doctor are the same. I didn't. Okay.
Lunchbox
You don't wait in line at the pharmacy either.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do.
Eddie
Yeah, you do.
Lunchbox
Then how is drive thru not aligned?
Eddie
She didn't say drive through.
Lunchbox
She did.
Bailey Zimmerman
Restaurant. Restaurant.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God.
Bobby Bones
What's happening right now?
Lunchbox
Fair and amusement park are the same thing, but restaurant is different than drive through that.
Bobby Bones
Neither one of them made it.
Lunchbox
That's crazy.
Amy
We've all been under a lot of.
Bobby Bones
Stress, but not drive through a restaurant. Didn't make it either one of them, which is hilarious.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. A doctor's office is this. I don't understand how It's a line. It's not a line.
Bobby Bones
Number two is an airport.
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh.
Eddie
It'S a line.
Bobby Bones
That's a line for sure.
Amy
That one is a line.
Bobby Bones
Number five is school pickup. Oh, he hates that one too. He hates that one, too. Why do you hate that one.
Lunchbox
I've never experienced that.
Bobby Bones
Oh, really? You were shaking your head angrily at it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, we literally ride a bus.
Eddie
Okay, why not?
Amy
The school pickup line is so stressful. I should have thought of that.
Bobby Bones
Next up, I'm scared. Generally, I just get scared. A bank. Why are you shaking ahead of that one?
Eddie
Who goes to a bank?
Lunchbox
Ding, ding, ding. Eddie, you guys always say no one goes to the bank anymore, but it's on the list.
Amy
Okay, I know y' all are probably gonna make an elderly person joke when my boyfriend still goes to the bank.
Eddie
We weren't gonna make.
Amy
I was like, why don't you just do online deposit and take pictures of the checks? He's like, I like to physically take the banks. The checks into the bank.
Eddie
And I was like, my father in law.
Bobby Bones
And at number. He's hated everyone. I'm scared of the rest of them. What's the last one at number nine Stadium? No, I'm kidding. Coliseum. It's just another version of it. Oh, car wash. Dang, you ate that one.
Amy
I almost said that.
Caller
Whatever.
Lunchbox
Go ahead.
Amy
When. When Morgan said Costco, I almost said.
Lunchbox
Carney'S allowed to speak, like, six sentences, and I start talking, and you just ring the butt. Like, I didn't even get.
Bobby Bones
Wait, let me finish. And then, yeah, concession stand. And we didn't say one.
Lunchbox
No, no. But he said, that's your answer for stadium.
Bobby Bones
And I also said, or concession stand. Neither one of them made right at the end.
Lunchbox
But I'm saying Amy got to talk about seven different things, and she never said ride. She said the fair.
Bobby Bones
She didn't say buzzer.
Lunchbox
I said it.
Amy
I said it after you said it after the buzzer.
Bobby Bones
Well, I wanted to not give it to her.
Amy
At least now we know the root of it is that. Which makes way more sense than the doctor's office.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. The root of it is she didn't even say ride during her answer. And after it was buzzed, she. She goes, oh, man. Cuz, you know, you go getting a ride, and it's like, oh, let's go back and give it to her. That was more of what I was mad about.
Bobby Bones
What was the final score, eddie? You had 0, 2, Morgan, 18, lunchbox 0.
Eddie
Got it.
Caller
It's the anonymous sin.
Bobby Bones
Anonymous in There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby bones. For nearly 10 years, when our kids were. I stayed home with them while my husband was the primary breadwinner, and I handled almost all the housework and meals. It was a Reasonable expectation. I've been back at work now for almost three years, but I've never really stopped carrying most of the load at home. Last August, my husband was laid off, and while he's job searching, he's home most days. He still expects me to come home, cook, clean, and spend weekends catching up on laundry. I don't want to be ungrateful or start a fight every day, but I can't understand why he doesn't see how unfair this is. How do I get him to do more around the house without having to constantly nag him? Signed working wife. This husband has no awareness. You at least have to fake like you're doing stuff, even if you're not.
Eddie
Really doing it, at least.
Amy
But if you should do it, he should do it.
Bobby Bones
But it's not that. No, no. It's like you do a couple things and act like it took longer to do, or you do what we've talked about. Weaponized incompetence where you just can't get it right. So she helps, but he has no awareness. You can't. Even if you're looking for jobs, you got to do. Somebody's got to do this stuff or you have to pay for somebody else to do it. And if you're home, why are you spending money on somebody else to do it? Not good. So I don't like this guy right now.
Amy
Yeah, I feel bad for her.
Bobby Bones
He's in a bad season. She's in a bad season because of this. What is your advice?
Amy
Yeah, I would think. Okay, let's. If we've been nagging, maybe that was our go to originally. So let's cut that out and sit down and have an intentional conversation about this and come up with a plan. A plan you can both agree on for this season while he's unemployed. And then something may switch when he goes back. And y' all can divide and conquer because you're working now. It was the way that it was because you were in the house, and now you're out of the house. So we need a new plan. We have to evolve.
Bobby Bones
The plan I'm going to give you is this. We men are like cavemen. So if you just go to him and go, hey, it's really letting me down. You're just not doing work. I need you to, like, pick up more on the house. That's too big of a task. You've got to put up a sheet with check mark boxes of specific things that he's got to do every day.
Eddie
Like a child.
Bobby Bones
Yes. I don't think it's anything of like, let's have a talk where you're not.
Amy
But, you know, an intentional conversation might.
Bobby Bones
Be that you hang up a thing on a whiteboard on the fridge. Yeah, no, that's what we need sometimes, partner.
Amy
We don't. I saw some funny thing the other day, and they were like, you know, if you feel like you're having to, like, parent your guy, like, you're with a boy, you know, and if you.
Bobby Bones
I'm a little boy. Kayla.
Amy
If you feel like a. Like you get to be like a. A child in your relationship. You're with a man.
Bobby Bones
I'm a little boy.
Amy
Like, we want to be with a man.
Bobby Bones
I'm just trying to help them get through this.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And it's not long term evolution of role understanding. It's. You got to have a revolution quick because the house is getting dirtier by the day. You got to put up four chores that he needs to do in the.
Amy
Daytime and resentments building by the day.
Bobby Bones
Yes, yes. And that stuff doesn't change except through an evolution of change. You need a revolution right now. Put up a target sheet. He's got four check mark boxes.
Amy
Why is it, like, what is the deal? Like, why is it like, if this was reversed, the woman would just start.
Bobby Bones
Doing surface and stupid.
Amy
Like, we would just figure it out and we start doing and taking care of things.
Eddie
So, yeah, we don't.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what to tell you.
Lunchbox
We.
Bobby Bones
We just don't. And it probably hurts his pride that he doesn't have a job and she's the breadwinner and he's boohooing at home. Suck it up, buttercup. Right now. Here's your list of chores. You don't have to say it like that. You can just be like, hey, I put a list of so stuff. This is what I would do if I were her. Because you got to handle him gently, too. I'd say, hey, look, some stuff's not getting done around the house, so that's my fault. I put up a list of both of us for the stuff we need to get done each day. You got to hold his hand a little bit. That's it. Okay. Then you can deal with all the other crap. Long term therapy or something like that.
Eddie
It's all later.
Bobby Bones
There you go. Close it up. Okay, Amy, what do you have going on over there with audible?
Amy
Well, it's the sound reset challenge brought to you by audible. And audible's well being collection has everything to inspire and support you in every step. Of your wellbeing journey. Each week we're going to be challenging you with an assignment, one impactful step to reach your 2026 goals. Inspired by my conversation with Dan Harris and his book 10% Happier available on Audible, your week one challenge is to pay attention to your monkey mind.
iHeartRadio Announcer
Most of us are only kind of vaguely aware of the thinking process and if we can become a little bit.
Caller
More aware, AKA a little bit more.
iHeartRadio Announcer
Mindful, then we have more choice and freedom.
Amy
All right, so over the next week, spend time noticing your thoughts. Like what are they saying? How quickly do they jump around? What narratives are they upholding? As Dan says in his book, you can think of your thoughts like a waterfall and you get to be in the space behind it. Then see if you can find yourself some moments of boredom, like legit boredom, times that you can practice having no thoughts at all. Yes, that means off your phone, away from other people. It could be waiting for the crosswalk signal or washing the dishes. See if you can bring stillness to your monkey mind just by paying attention to it. To hear my full conversation with Dan Harris, head to bobbybones.com and for more of his journey with mindfulness, listen to his book 10% happier only on Audible.

In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband Mike was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever.

Amy
What does your phone look like?
Lunchbox
You mean like all together or just.

Just from today.
Bobby Bones
All right, cuz. Altogether, this is embarrassing to say. I have 9834.
Eddie
That's all together.
Bobby Bones
He has over 9800 unread text messages on his phone.
Bailey Zimmerman
Wow.
Bobby Bones
I would go crazy. That's from the ACC Network. TikTok. Amy, how many unread texts do you have?
Amy
This is going to be.
Bobby Bones
She just responded to a text that I had sent her hours ago, by the way. Like five minutes ago.
Amy
Yeah, but okay, what happened with me is right now I only have 52 unread.
Eddie
That's awesome.
Amy
Which is so. Yeah, that's so good for me.
Eddie
That's great.
Amy
But here's what happened In December. I don't know where any of my texts went, but anything that I've texted with anybody before December is gone. So something happened. Like, I have no.
Bobby Bones
Amy's phone was. My Apple was too many. Yes.
Amy
So then it started over. So it's just been 52 from the new year.
Bobby Bones
Well, here's my full open screen.
Amy

Bobby Bones
No red. No email, no text. Everything gets looked at.
Amy
You have no red dots. No red dots on. Like, I have red dots on text. Email. I mean, you can see voicemail and settings. Red dots here.
Bobby Bones
And I haven't. I didn't clean this up beforehand. No red. No red. There could be an update on something eventually. There's an update on Netflix because I think it's like, a new episode or something is up.
Eddie
Yeah, that doesn't count.
Bobby Bones
But no red.
Eddie
I have no rest, no missed calls or anything.
Bailey Zimmerman

Bobby Bones
You don't read them all?
Eddie
No, no. And I just. I looked at it. If it's not a question that I need to respond to, I don't click on it. I just look at it. Be like, cool.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy, because you could click on it with the same effort.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah, but.
Bobby Bones
And then not have to worry about if you left anything unseen.
Amy
I have 81 voicemails, and I'm like, who's leaving me a voicemail?

Lunchbox

Eddie
I sent you guys a picture.
Amy

No, no glove. Everyone's under gloves, just waiting around.
Eddie
You can't get one of those things that they pick trash with.
Amy
Yeah, a little.
Bobby Bones
I think I. If you just leave your phone in there, all your dots go away.
Eddie
Oh, really?
Bobby Bones
It washes them all away. Yeah, I don't think I'm going in either, Bones. Claire Danes, the actress in Homeland, said she had a meltdown when she found out she was pregnant at 44 years old.
Amy
Oh, yeah. That would be hard to process if it's unexpected.
Bobby Bones
Claire Dane said she burst into tears after learning she was pregnant. Now, she had kids before, she just didn't think she could have any more kids.
Amy
So they weren't happy tears. They're just.
Bobby Bones
I think they were just confused.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Like emotional.
Bobby Bones
The actress, who's now 46, recalls that she was in convulsive tears at her OBGYN. It was pure meltdown. This is on Amy Poehler's podcast. She said, I did not know it's physically possible. I was 44 years old. She has a 13 year old, a 7 year old, and now she has a younger kid that I guess is almost two. Page six with the story. Amy, you've talked about possibly when you hear stories like this.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, it's like, okay, I could become a mom later in life.
Bobby Bones
Sometimes there's like, a woman in indonesia who's like, 91.
Amy
Yeah. This is a reminder to all of us women that it is indeed possible.
Bobby Bones
Mike, could you look up the oldest woman on record to have a baby naturally and see what that is? I just want to give Amy a little more hope. I don't know.
Amy
I don't know that I want hope.
Bobby Bones
You've said it on the show in the last year even.
Amy
Yes. Because I think, do I like the idea of creating a life myself and having a baby and not being something that I get to experience that so many other women have experienced that I don't think I ever will? Do I struggle with that? Yes. So sometimes do I think getting to experience it would be great? Sure. However, I don't know that that's what I really want.
Bobby Bones
You want it. You just don't really want it.
Amy
Right. Because I have. I'm. I'm raising children right now. They're teenagers. We are through that. I do.
Bobby Bones
What? You just brought it up a couple times, so.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Mike. The oldest confirmed case, she was 59 years old. Wow. You got plenty of time.
Caller
You're good.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
I don't know, guys. I don't know that I could handle it. I mean, we're talking about hormones.
Bobby Bones
What if it made you normal? It did the opposite.
Amy
It, like, levels out my hormones.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Everything about that.
Amy
Maybe. Maybe. I don't know. What is normal?
Bobby Bones
Exactly. I saw this for Lunchbox. There's a private island that's for sale for under $260,000. He's always wanted a private island that's affordable. What do you think about that?
Lunchbox
No, I. I saw this island. It looks nice, but it has no water and electricity. So I really wouldn't be able to accomplish much on this island. As much as I would love to have it and own it and live on it, it doesn't seem sustainable. I would die.
Bobby Bones
Need a generator.
Eddie
Yeah. How do these rich people have, like, power on their island?
Bobby Bones
So, great question. So there's somebody, and I don't want to say who it is and give their business, but they have an island that I know who's artist and they had to build the complete and like, to set the whole system, like they.
Eddie
Just generate power on the island somehow.
Bobby Bones
They had to build it all.
Caller
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Not a dam, but yeah.
Eddie
And then like a.
Bobby Bones
Well, super expensive.
Eddie
Gosh.
Bobby Bones
So this island's a 1.25 acre private island in Maine. It's at the market for $259,000 and you can have your own island. I mean, that's a flex itself. You just get on the boat and go walk over on your island and be like, on my island? All right, let's go.
Amy
Wouldn't you be a little scared, though?
Bobby Bones
Of what?
Bailey Zimmerman
What?
Eddie
Pirates.
Bobby Bones
I'm the captain now.
Lunchbox
Rolls up.
Eddie
What are you scared of?
Bobby Bones
They loot you.
Amy
Oh, yeah. I mean, you're just on this island with, like, nowhere to go if somebody comes.
Bobby Bones
Isn't that kind of what we are? We're all doing. We're all in different versions of islands.
Eddie
Oh, like our house is an island.
Amy
No, like, I can, like, our brains run to my neighbor.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Eddie
You went there?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, we're all inside our own island. That's deep. Really. It's all within us. Like, everything is within us.
Amy
Just. I don't know. Sometimes I'm like, why do I care so much? We're just like a speck of dust.
Bobby Bones
We are.
Amy
It doesn't matter.
Bobby Bones
We're just random organic tissue.
Amy
I just am overthinking everything. A lot of things lately, more so than usual. And I'm like, what? Who?
Bobby Bones
Who?
Eddie
What's crazy is when I go into, like, the wilderness, you know, like. Or like, I'm in the woods.
Bobby Bones
The wilderness? You mean your backyard? Like, trees in your backyard?
Eddie
Like, like my father in law, he has a ranch, and whenever I'll go for a walk just in the middle of the woods, and I'm like, like, man, there's no. Like, there's nothing to worry about. Like, we worry about so many things that, like, mean really nothing.
Bobby Bones
So you guys aren't nihilists at all, huh?
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
I don't know what that means at times where nothing. Well, in reality, nothing really matters because we're just tiny. Like, nothing matters. We're just tiny specs. I believe that there's some relief to that sometimes. Oh, it's awesome.
Eddie
But then there's the thought of, like, well, I gotta make money because the kids have to go to school.
Bobby Bones
Well, then that matters real quick. But yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah. Anyway, if you wanted to get pregnant, you probably could.
Amy
I mean, why not? Nothing matters.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
iHeartRadio Announcer
Now we're on it on the Bobby Bones show now.
Bobby Bones
Bailey Zimmerman, I want to say this. We've known each other for a long time, so I feel comfortable just going right to it. You're extremely jittery.
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh, yeah, Coffee.
Bobby Bones
Is coffee new to you?
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah, so I kind of like, have used it as just like a thing to help me quit a bunch of, like, you know, things I wanted to quit in life, and it's really worked.
Bobby Bones
So you're replacing something else with a.
Bailey Zimmerman
Not such a bad thing. You know, I'm like, dude, I'd rather be, like, drinking too much coffee than drinking too much tequila, you know? Oh, that's what it is.
Bobby Bones
You're trying to drink coffee.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah, like, like certain vices that I wanted to, like, get Rid of. I was just like, okay. How could I do that and kind of replace it with just something like.
Bobby Bones
A slightly lesser vice?
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah. So coffee is really good for me.
Caller
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why did you drive up here today?
Bailey Zimmerman
I drove my Cadillac. I just bought a Escalade V. Okay.
Bobby Bones
I know nothing about cars. So tell me what a Cadillac Escalade V is. Because I can picture a black Cadillac Escalade, like an suv, but what's that? What's the difference?
Bailey Zimmerman
So I have. Mine's white. Like, so what's cool about an Escalade V? So, like, there's the Escalade, but then my Escalade V is a supercharged six two. So, like, the motor is, like, faster.
Bobby Bones
Is there a time you would ever need a fast Escalade suv?
Bailey Zimmerman
It honestly is just the sound. I just love the sound of it. That's also why I bought my Lamborghini as well. I just wanted the sound to hear it.
Bobby Bones
Lamborghini car.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah. Bought one of the cars with the V10 in it. I'm kind of in these moments where I just keep thinking, like, I've seen this in the movies. So I kind of just started making decisions, like. Like, I saw in the movies. Like, in the movies, the rich, famous guy buys his mom a house and takes care of the people that took care of him. And then, you know, like, he has the crazy pool parties in the summer. I kind of referenced reference Nickelback a lot. Item at, like, I'd like to say, you know, just pool parties and having fun and making sure you're enjoying the fruits of your labor, but also, you know, like, taking care of everybody else. And I think I just like, yeah, dude. Like, so imagine you just wake up and you're just in this rock star movie. I guess I'm just. That's it. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You're playing arenas, dude. That's crazy. And it's crazy. I say that in a way of, like, celebratory crazy.
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh, yeah, you're doing it. It's crazy.
Bobby Bones
You're doing an arena tour, dude.
Bailey Zimmerman
It's crazy. The kid in the trailer's doing the.
Lunchbox
That's.
Bailey Zimmerman
That's so wild. This was my biggest dream ever since I started. And I played the first, you know, three or four or five shows and got that taste. And then I saw what can be done, and, like, I was just like, I want that bad.
Bobby Bones
Were you nervous about tickets selling?
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh, yeah, of course. I've been nervous about every single tour, though. I don't think that'll ever go away because I always Want to, like, really deliver for my fans. And I also have that thing where I'm like, am I delivering enough? Am I doing enough? Am I like, you know, is the show big enough? Is there enough pyro? Is there enough this? Is there enough? My team's about to kill me this year. My budgets, bro.
Bobby Bones
Because you want to make the show so good.
Bailey Zimmerman
I just want to make it. I want them to go home going, that is the sickest show I've ever seen. Oh, my gosh. And so, yeah, dude, it's been, like, everything I've dreamed of. So I've been, like, overboard this year. Like, oh, yeah. And I was so nervous about the tickets selling because I was just like.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, like, you're trying something bigger, so. And you have a lot of tickets, you know? Yeah. You don't have anything to compare it to because it's new world for you.
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
How'd it go?
Bailey Zimmerman
I think it went amazing. I think it was, like, 70% day of tickets. Oh, yeah, we sold out a bunch of good. But it seems like everything's, like, gonna be sold out. And how weird is it that you're, like, a country artist now and you're, like, selling, like, lots of tickets and you're, like, doing the big thing, and I'm like, really freaking weird, and, like, how is it? And I always. I would say, imagine, like, yourself right now. Close your eyes. You know, close your eyes with me, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Here.
Bailey Zimmerman
Eyes are closed.
Bobby Bones
I'm ready.
Bailey Zimmerman
You're in your bed, and your eyes are closed. And you posted this video last night, but you're just like some random kid in some small town of, like, 800 people in your mom's trailer. And you wake up, and you're like, phone, now open your eyes, right? We're awake. And your phone is, like, blowing up off, and it's, like, almost buzzing off the table, and you grab it, and your TikTok says 800 and something. Thousand notifications, and your song's, like, gone viral. The part of your song that you wrote, super weird, but good. So then all of a sudden, you're just like, you quit your job day of, go figure out how to record the song. Fast forward. You keep doing videos. You keep doing that. You're. You're like. You ask your mom for 1500 bucks. You go to the studio, you record the song, you put the song out, and it streams, like, millions. Like, first five days, 10 days, whatever. And then all of a sudden, you're in Nashville and you're living, and you Just signed a record deal. Then all of a sudden, Morgan Wallen calls you. He's like, hey, did you want to go on a stadium tour for two years? And I'm like, yeah. And then I go do that, and then I go do my own tours that sell out and I put out songs, and then, like my first album, you know, religiously, the album breaks records. Imagine all that happening. That's happened to me. To you. And that's exactly how it feels. And it is crazy, bro. Like, I'd wake up every day and I'm like, dude, like, pinch me. This is crazy. Like, really, really cool.
Bobby Bones
You can watch that full one hour interview with Bailey on Netflix, and it's still up as a podcast on the Bobbycast podcast as well. Just go search for the Bobbycast on Netflix or iheartradio wherever you get your podcast. If you go back and you listen to Tuesday's Bobby Bones show podcast, Amy's son Stevenson was in here with us. You guys didn't have power. So he was just up here because there was heat.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And so I was like, hey, you can sit in the room with this. And then we got him on for a little bit. We were talking about driving. And so Jar is on who lives in Tallahassee. Hey, Jara, you're on the show.
Caller
Morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Caller
Okay, Amy, I have a question for you. I noticed you were very hesitant whenever Bobby asked him that. He's 15 years old. Why hasn't he gotten a permit yet? And you kept deflecting and saying, oh, he can drive his bike, he can drive his scooter. And part of me feels like it's because you're afraid of his driving. But according to Bobby and the rest of the studio, you aren't the best driver around. So why are you so hesitant about him driving?
Amy
Okay. I know that's their opinion. I really am a good driver. We have.
Caller
I.
Amy
We did a driver's test and the instructor said I was the best.
Bobby Bones
Super controlled environment, though.
Eddie
And she knew the instructor.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yours is more of a distraction.
Amy
Issues I have in a car are with non moving objects when I'm going like one mile an hour. Like, it's.
Bailey Zimmerman
That's.
Bobby Bones
I think your issues are you get distracted really easy and you're focused on other things.
Lunchbox
Things.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Amy
No, it's my peripheral vision.
Bobby Bones
No, it's. I watch you all day. You can't stay focused on one thing just right now.
Amy
Okay, so back to the original question. Because I can stay focused. We are per. A lot of people's advice that we have received delaying this part for him. There's a lot of things he's behind on, even in his grade. Like he's 15, but he's in, what is he in eighth grade. So his peers are not getting ready to drive at this point. So his education, just emotionally, mentally, he's delayed given his circumstances, like growing up in an orphanage till he was seven. Coming here, we're delaying a lot of things. And it's good because he's just not quite there yet, maturity wise. And I think that that's obvious. And I was trying to deflect because I'm like, oh, this is still a question we get. Because he knows he's 15 and he knows other people.
Bobby Bones
He knows he's 15.
Amy
But he knows that his sister started taking, you know, driver's ed around that age. And they, they were just at different levels at different times because she's matured a little faster than he did. Does that make sense?
Bobby Bones
I think you could have literally just said, I'm the mom, and we'd have been like, yep, yep, we got it.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But I appreciate you explaining it like that. Jara, what do you think?
Caller
Okay, I definitely appreciate that. I do have another question for you, Amy, to follow up with the whole car situation.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Caller
Every time you post on your Instagram stories, your car, you have a service engine light. Oh, so are you ever going to get that fixed?
Amy
Yeah, actually. Actually did have an appointment at the dealership on Tuesday, but because of the snowstorm, I wasn't able to take it in. However, they've already told me that, that it's not a big deal like the service. It's like my oil needs to be changed, so they're going to change that and then it will be fine. But I wasn't able to go in because they were closed because of the ice. So thank you for noticing.
Eddie
How long has it been, that light been on?
Amy
Oh, it's on for various.
Bobby Bones
I think she bought it possibly with it on. As long as it's been on. It's so funny you noticed that jar because. Yeah, it's on. It's on so much I don't even notice it anymore.
Amy
Oh, people notice it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I get dms and I'm like, okay, people, so you can. I can switch it off. And sometimes if I remember before I post something, like, I'll try to go, you know, switch the screen to something else.
Bobby Bones
The fact you have to change your screen. Jara, that's awesome. Thank you for asking that. Any other question no, that's all.
Caller
Thank you so much for taking my call.
Bobby Bones
All right, we'll talk to you soon. Thank you very much. There she is, Jara from Tallahassee bringing the hard hitting questions this morning to Amy.

Bobby Bones
And now the Morning corny.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.
Amy
How do fleas travel?
Eddie
Something back.
Bobby Bones
How do fleas travel?
Amy
They itch, hike.
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's fine.
Lunchbox
There you go.
Bobby Bones
They itch, hike. That was the morning corny. Amy got her power back, which is big news because it was out for what, five days or so?
Amy
Six or seven? Yeah. It almost hit the full week mark. So I spent half of it living in the cold and then half of it at a friend's house.
Bobby Bones
So where we are, still a lot of people don't have power. They're saying it's going to be till February 8 for some people.
Amy
I know. I don't even know how to comprehend that. And they're having too, and it's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, the ice storms hit us hard and people are still dealing with it here. But I did see that Amy had her power back, so that's gotta be so exciting.
Amy
Yes, it was quite the relief. And you just have a whole new level of gratitude for something simple as your heat and hot water.
Bobby Bones
When we didn't have power because we were out for three days, I remember thinking, man, when I get power back, I'm never gonna take it for granted. I don't know, six hours into it, I'm like, I forgot all about it.
Lunchbox
Woo.
Bobby Bones
Power, baby. I'm like, just running hot water for the sake of. Yeah, man, but it's rough. I do want to play this. Voicemail.
Caller
Hey, I was listening to the Thursday podcast about Bobby pushing that guy's truck.
Bobby Bones
Do you think maybe he could have.
Caller
Wanted a selfie to thank you online? Like, hey, this stranger did something cool, or was it because you're Bobby Bones? Just curious.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. I haven't seen the picture pop up and I haven't been tagged anything.
Amy
Yeah, and you were very dirty.
Bobby Bones
Very dirty.
Amy
Very dirty. So maybe he was like, people aren't going to believe this. Can I get a selfie? Like, was he dirty or just you?
Bobby Bones
No, just me.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So if you missed that story, guy was stuck. And again, ice everywhere. And so stopped to help him. I couldn't get the truck out. Just myself with him driving. My wife, who's pregnant, gets up in the front seat, she's driving another dude's truck. We're both pushing and I'm having to push from directly behind because I can't get to the side because there was a tree and I don't want to get pinned. I die. That thing swings a little bit. So I just. I'm just eating mud. Eating mud. And at the end, he got A selfie and jumped in his car and drove off. I didn't expect anything, but it was very quick. I was like, hey, can I get a selfie? Yeah. So all good. I hope he was able to. I hope he hasn't even thought about it once since. But I haven't seen anything.
Amy
I'm sure he has. I feel like I would think about it anytime I looked at my tires. I feel like. Remember that time I got stuck?
Bobby Bones
It's probably like heat, but when I get heat back, man, it's gonna be awesome. And then you get it back and it's just life on. I have a friend who lost heat, power, energy, all that stuff. And they took a picture of the tower of the. The pole, excuse me, above their house with Chat GPT and it told him what was wrong. He drove over to a worker, worker came and fixed it.
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh wow.
Bobby Bones
They got the power back because it was in an area where the power had already been fixed, but there's one out again. So he took a picture of the pole. Chat GPT said this is what to do. He told the, the worker here nes and he went up fix it and he had power back.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
No way.
Bobby Bones
Very quick. He had to get them to drive back to the. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Eddie
Did he like play chat cbt to him like.
Bobby Bones
No, he just told him, he just said, hey, I think this is what's wrong. And the guy went over, wow. Went up and fixed it. I fixed a hot water heater with Chat GPT, took a picture of it.
Amy
Well, I figured out how to open my garage with it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I told Amy, I said, hey, all you have to do is take a picture of anything with ChatGPT and say I can't figure how to get this up or down or what to do. It will lay out for you step by step on what to do.
Amy
The layout for mine wasn't hard by the way. I was like, I'm an idiot. But it still gave me step by step, which was helpful.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you guys can call us if you want. 87777 Bobby. That's our number. 8777 B O B. What are some stuff you think could get stuck in kids noses pretty easy.
Amy
My sister got a peanut stuck once.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one.
Amy
We had just gone to the zoo and she saw elephants doing it. So she did it and my grandma had to take her to the er.
Bobby Bones
Oh wow. Er, what else? A Lego Lego is probably number one.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Lego small marbles, pen caps, erasers, little pieces of paper. But this kid Got a full lock pad stuck in their nose.
Amy
What.
Bobby Bones
So what they think is because they were. There's some called bull demon King. You know how bulls have those hooks coming out?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Had pushed it up there and it was open. So you can make it look like that bull ring. Okay. And then couldn't get it out. So they called the fire department. Fire department couldn't get it out because they thought if they yanked it, it would injure the kid's face or tear the kid's septum. So they had taken him into the emergency room and apparently they had to cut than the lock with shears so they could pull it out. The boy was calm the whole time through the operation and he's fine. But I'm talking about it the whole. It's in there. It's one of those combination ones. Not the ones that you turn with the full knob that's got the three little flickies. You gotta put the flickies on the numbers.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Haven't heard that one before.
Eddie
And I knew it was a boy seeing said it.
Amy
Oh yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why so.
Eddie
I mean, girls don't do that.
Amy
We're not gonna do that.
Bobby Bones
Not really a girl thing. Let me take this call from Mark in Louisiana. Who's on the phone. Let's go over to Mark. You're on. Mark. What's up, buddy?
Caller
Hey, good morning, Bobby. Good morning studio. Oh, man, I love you guys. Thank you so much. I can't say I'm the longest listener to the show, but I have been. I probably give it for at least five to 10 years. Love the program and everything.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. What do you want to say? Yes, sir.
Caller
So I have a question. I know a scenario if I might present to y'. All. So. All right. My. So yesterday. Yesterday my wife and I, we celebrated our child's second birthday. She's officially going to be turning two tomorrow. So we had the birthday party at our house and. Oh, my. What is it? I'm sorry. The. So I sent out the invitation to a lot of my family and friends. I mean, we had a pretty good turnout to it, but a decent amount of my family didn't come and come to the party. I give a scenario or give a. Put it out there. So I have seven, six siblings, two of which live out of state. Only one of my brothers showed up to the party. In addition with my mom and my wife and I were kind of salty over it. Whether the reason would have been good or not. They gave their reasons why they didn't come. We are a little salty about it. And I guess in a nutshell, like, is there a reason acceptable that you would miss something like this?
Bobby Bones
So a couple things. One, anybody that doesn't live within 55 minutes or so, I think they have a free out for a second birthday. So anybody lives over an hour out, that's too far. If anything, even mild is in the way, I'm going to understand. Out of state for sure. Unless you live right on the state line and then it's within 30 minutes.
Amy
Second birthday for sure.
Bobby Bones
Second birthday too. Kid doesn't remember.
Eddie
No, no, nothing.
Bobby Bones
Kid doesn't remember. Now, I think I would be upset if I had been super supporting my siblings. Kids at 1 and 2 years old. But again, you can't hold them to the standard you put on yourself because you're just going to be disappointed if you do that generally in life. So do you have any. It feels to me like maybe there are some issues that aren't just about this birthday party. Have you been beefing any resentment towards your family other than this issue?
Caller
Um, outside of the ordinary? I wouldn't say so. I mean, every family is going to have their issues.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Caller
Like their problems. And especially with me and my family. So me and my brothers, we have our own business together, so we see each other like pretty regularly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Caller
Then they probably see each other jobs together, doing different things, but I think all together. And even one of my brothers who didn't show up, this is actually the second time they didn't. He didn't come to their first birthday party last year. And part of that is also resentment saying like, oh, two years in a row.
Amy
Well, so to Bobby's point, how far away does this brother live?
Caller
So he does. He does bring up the good point.
Bobby Bones
I guess that's what I'm gonna say. Mark, just a couple factors here. I get it. You love your kid way more than they do, even though they do because they're family. A two year. A two. A two year old birthday party, that number two, that kid's just not gonna remember that. I don't think it's a big one.
Amy
Yeah, like, I think we need to take a big deep breath and exhale and let this go. Like you don't need to be holding you and your wife. And then the more y' all co. Ruminate over it together, that's something I've learned. Like sometimes it's good to vent, but then especially with your. When you're living with your venting partner and they have the same feelings, y' all actually can potentially make it all worse by ruminating over it together so y' all could both release it together.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it's something that you need to focus on because you're still in these relationships every day with your brothers. Yeah. And it's gonna make those working relationships and life relationships poor for something that I. I'm gonna probably get some crap for this. But the kids, too. It's important. But it's the kids, too, and focus.
Amy
On, like, oh, you had a good turnout. Like, it was a great day. Like, what are. What are we happy about from this party? And then just if they show up in other ways in your life, like, Bobby asked if you had any other resentment or issues, and you were like, no, not really. This is in my. In my opinion.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I just think this is not something that I would use as a reason to disrupt what y' all have going.
Bobby Bones
Yep. I agree, Mark. And there's gonna be other reasons to get disappointed. Save it for that.
Amy
For sure.
Bobby Bones
Save it for that.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Emmy brings up a good point. Don't exacerbate the situation because you and your wife are together, both talking about it and getting each other fired up, because that's.
Amy
I've. That happens. And the more you do that, then the worse it will get, and you'll be like, we need to feel validated, which is probably why you're calling us.
Bobby Bones
We're not gonna validate you. I know. I know. It's tough love, Mark. But it is definitely love the kids, too. You had a good turnout. Don't let it ruin what already else is good in your life, which is your relationship with your family. So punt. Save it. Because if you around somebody a whole lot in your life, eventually they're gonna disappoint you. It's just a numbers game. If you have a roommate that you or your best friend, you're around them a whole lot. You're with them a lot. They're human. They're gonna disappoint you. Save that disappointment for another time. Don't use it here, because then you'll be out. You'll be out of it. All right, Mark, that's what we got for you.
Caller
I do appreciate it. Can I ask one. One other thing along with you? Make it quick.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, let it rip.
Caller
All right, so. So my wife and I, we've been married for six. I'm sorry. Seven years, actually. Seven years this Thursday. And so I wanted to make a request, if it is possible. I have, like, so many pimpinjoy T shirts that I'VE ordered over the years, but my wife has only been living here in the United States for about four, and I don't have as nearly. She doesn't have nearly as many Pip and Joy T shirts. I wanted wondering if it's possible. Can I get. Could I possibly get a free one from y'?
Lunchbox
All?
Bobby Bones
Probably, yeah. Put you on hold. Yeah, why not? Yeah, I have one. Yeah, no, let's put you on hold. We'll get your size and I'm sure we can do. Do you better than that.
Amy
And happy anniversary.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Happy anniversary. But get that year right. It's just.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, that's important.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Amy
He corrected quickly.
Bobby Bones
He did. I know, I know.
Eddie
You know, the wire stumble will get.
Bobby Bones
You depending what kind of movie what she's in. Yes, Mark, we got you, buddy.
Caller
Thank you, Bobby. Thank you all. Hey, everybody on the show. I love you guys, man. Y' all take care and thank you for the advice.
Bobby Bones
Yes, sir. Don't hang up. We're gonna get you here. All right. There he is. Mark, let's go one more. Let's go to Jeff in Virginia. We're talking about the kid who got that lock in his nose. Hey, Jeff.
Caller
Hey, how's it going, Bobby?
Bobby Bones
You're on the show, man. Appreciate you calling.
Caller
Hey, so I just calling about what's getting stuck in my kid's nose. So he was about three or four years old, got in trouble. We put him in timeout, didn't realize he had some carrot sticks in his hand. And he decided to shove one up his nose, which once it went up there, it turned sideways.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, it breached.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Caller
So. So, yeah, so we spent a little while trying to get it out ourselves and. And his nose just kept filling up with blood. And so he ended up taking them to the er. Took about four doctors. They had them wrapped up like a burrito and they finally, finally were able to get it out.
Bobby Bones
Well, did they go in and like snip it, break it so it could come out in smaller pieces? Like, how do they do it?
Caller
No, they ended up going in with basically a little claw that kept grabbing little, trying to get it turned, turned back the direction, correct direction, and it came out. The. The whole piece came out.
Bobby Bones
They sent a tiny bunny in to chop that to eat it. Jeff, that's crazy. Hey, can I ask you a question? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, but what'd that ER bill cost you?
Eddie
Oh, gosh.
Caller
Oh, thanks. Thankfully, my wife has phenomenal insurance. So it was you know, 200 copay, plus, you know, a couple doctors, little doctor fees, so thank God.
Bobby Bones
That's good.
Eddie
Thank God.
Bobby Bones
I appreciate that. Call Jeb. Hope you have a great morning.
Caller
Hey, you too. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
All right. See you, buddy. Hey, by the way, if you guys want to call us about anything, you can. And if we don't answer, it goes to voicemail. You can also leave us a voicemail. 8, 7, 7, 7, B, O B B Y. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead story of the day.

Bobby Bones
You're running with a harp?
Lunchbox

And he gets near the river. He's worried. Ah, man, I'm not gonna be able to make it. Drops the harp and jumps in. Only problem. It's icy and cold. He had to be rescued.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
It feels like there was, like, four really bad decisions altogether. Just trying to steal a harp Feels like that would be difficult. Yeah. Then running. Jumping in the icy river. Okay, There you go.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
This is always dangerous when you guys record stuff and just leave it up. It gets sent to me, and then I have to decide if I'm gonna. I haven't listened to it, but.
Eddie
Oh, you're gonna love it. You're gonna love it.
Bobby Bones
What is it, man?
Eddie
You just don't leave stuff on a computer.
Bobby Bones

Eddie
Like, it's good stuff. It's Lunchbox. He's struggling. You have to listen to this.
Amy
It's on a computer.
Bobby Bones
He's recording commercials, and I guess he just left it up.
Amy
Oh, he left it up on the. In the POD production room.
Bobby Bones
Is this something that we. I want to deal with.
Eddie
You want to hear this?
Bobby Bones
Okay. It happens to everybody. It happens to Amy, too.
Amy
Yeah, it does.
Bobby Bones
All right, how long is it? 40 seconds. And what kind of commercial is he doing?
Eddie
Yeah, I don't even know. It is. It's so distracting. There's one word he cannot get.
Bobby Bones
Okay. It's QC Kinetics. Okay, here we go.
Lunchbox
And this is critical. The sooner you start, the faster inflammation will ease. The sooner you'll slow down osteo. Oh, my God. The sooner you'll slow down osteoarthritis.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God. The sooner you'll slow down osteoarth. Geez. Big words, man. They can't put those in my spots. The sooner you'll slow down. The sooner you'll slow down. Osteo. Osteoarthritis. The sooner you'll slow down. Osteoarthritis. Oh, my God. The sooner you start, the faster inflammation will ease. The sooner you'll slow down. Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis. The sooner you'll slow down osteoarthritis progression. That doesn't sound natural. The sooner you start, the faster inflammation will ease. The sooner you'll slow down Osteoarthritis. Oh, my God. I can't say it.
Bobby Bones
You got it a couple times.
Lunchbox
Here's the thing.
Bobby Bones
You just didn't have confidence. No.
Lunchbox
Hearing it back. I did get it a couple times, but I was so, like, I was saying it wrong so many times that I was like, I didn't say that right. And I guess I could have stopped it and went back and listened to it, but I was like, oh, I didn't say it right. So I just kept going. Oh, my gosh. That word was tough.
Eddie
So what's your rule? No big words in your commercial spots. You said that in there. Like, we can't put big words in.
Lunchbox
It was just a big word.
Bobby Bones
Nothing over five letters.
Lunchbox
Yeah, that was. That was way too big. And it's. I. I didn't know. Like, I was just like, man, I can't get. Get that one. It took me a long time to get it.
Bobby Bones
Say it now.
Lunchbox
I can say it individually.
Eddie
What is it?
Lunchbox
Osteoarthritis.
Caller
Nailed it.
Eddie
And it's not a natural.
Bobby Bones
Say it in a sentence.
Lunchbox
Ah, man, I really hope I don't get osteoarthritis when I get older. That doesn't sound natural.
Bobby Bones
B plus.
Amy
Yeah. Because you're, like, taking a beat. Osteoarthritis.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Give it a run. Do it again.
Lunchbox
All right. You know what I mean? Eddie, with his older age, he has to really worry about osteoarthritis. Osteo or osteo.

Bobby Bones
What?
Lunchbox
I think I said arthritis.
Bobby Bones

Lunchbox
Okay. As Eddie gets older, now that he's in his 50s, a major problem for him is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And he needs to get to QC kinetics and they can help him with that. Is that right? I didn't say it right.
Bobby Bones
It is fine. Yeah, it's pretty good. But Eddie's also not in his 50s. What do you think the hardest part about this job is? That people don't know. Just around the room. What do you think the hardest part of this job is?
Amy
That people don't know pronouncing things.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, that can be it.
Amy
That is a struggle for me because.
Bobby Bones
We'Re not acting like this is the hardest job in the world.
Amy
Not at all. No. I'm very thankful, but I do have a speech impediment.
Bobby Bones
Okay. So yours would be saying mine's wr.
Amy
Any words that start with a W and R or back to back. Like, it can be a lot. Like, where I have to say it, and then I feel stupid.
Bobby Bones
Lunch rocks. Ah.
Lunchbox
The toughest part of this job is that we have to be in a good mood. We have to put on a good mood all the time.
Bobby Bones
You don't.
Bailey Zimmerman
You do.
Bobby Bones
Like, you don't do that thing you do. Is that.
Lunchbox
But that's what I'm saying. Like, people don't understand. Like, we have lives that things are bothering us outside of here, and they. They're like, man, why are they in a bad mood? It's like, guys, you have bad. You go to work in a bad mood. We can be in a bad mood too.
Amy
Honestly, he's on to something. Like, sometimes the hardest part might be, like, there's some good stuff.
Bobby Bones
No, but the difference is he's not in a good mood. He's always in a bad mood. A lot of the time he doesn't.
Amy
I just mean for the sake of, like, not secrecy, but privacy. There's stuff that a lot of us don't share because it's private, but, man, it would be good. See, that's hard.
Eddie
That would be my hardest is, like, I say a bunch of stupid crap, and then I go home and, like, you know, my. My son's like, hey, did you talk about this? I'm like, dang it. Like, why did I even say that? So remembering things not to talk about.
Lunchbox
Is hard for me.
Amy
Yeah. Because their friends talk to him at school.
Eddie
I forget that everyone listens to the show. He goes to school, and his buddies tell him what I said.
Bobby Bones
Mine's probably having to have energy in the morning. I am not a morning person in any form. Hate mornings. I think I would wake up 11 or 12 normally, then probably take a nap, and then I'm still not good on my own natural schedule. Till probably 4pm but again, we're not complaining.
Eddie
No, no, no, not at all.
Lunchbox
No, no.
Eddie
We're just having to choose something. That's hard.
Bobby Bones
That's right. Yeah.
Lunchbox
And putting up with you guys.
Amy
So, like, real world.
Bobby Bones
Can you say his word?
Amy
Osteoarthritis.
Bailey Zimmerman
Oh, no problem.
Lunchbox
You can't say real world.
Amy
It's, It's.
Bobby Bones
We just saw an expert at work.
Eddie
You need to start doing those commercials. Oh, yeah, that's fantastic.
Bobby Bones
Good point. We should get them over to Amy.
Lunchbox
That's.
Bobby Bones
She takes this commercial because of that.
Amy
Remember when I was an endorser? For what?
Bobby Bones
West Western Coffee?
Bailey Zimmerman
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You also make too big of a deal about it like he does. You can say it, but when you pause.
Amy
No, I, I, I overthink it. And then I get nervous.
Bobby Bones
That's what he did.
Eddie
Because he said it right a couple times.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
But when we get in our groove. But you never know when you're gonna have the West Rock Coffee.
Bobby Bones
When.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
It's not that hard.
Amy
It doesn't sound right. Bobby said it. No problem.
Bobby Bones
All right, we're done. You guys, thank you for being here. We will see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
Amy
