[Caller/Listener]

Bobby Bones transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bones Show. Let's go. Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday's show, Morning studio. Morning, Bones. She named her baby this. I'm surprised that. I guess America allowed it, because there are some names you just can't name a kid. They're like.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like when you get a jersey from NFL and you can do your own name, there are certain words you can't use. You can't do P, N, I, S. Oh, you.

[Producer Eddie]

You can't.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, there are a lot of words you can't do. That's just one of them.

[Amy Brown]

Or like, on a license plate.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah, you definitely can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

So her name is kaylee Zag. She's 22 years old from Central Texas. And. And she's now gone viral because she revealed her baby girl's name. Now, again, she loves boots. So she named her kid Luc Casey.

[Amy Brown]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

She.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, it's not normal.

[Bobby Bones]

If you named a kid McDonald's. Do you think they'd allow it? McDonald.

[Producer Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You do.

[Producer Eddie]

I think they'd allow it.

[Bobby Bones]

Sonic?

[Lunchbox]

Sure.

[Producer Eddie]

Fud Ruckers.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. Oh, you think Fud Rockers are the word?

[Amy Brown]

We went way back.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Lucas is a brand of boots lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know what that means.

[Amy Brown]

Like a really awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

The name inspired by Lucasi. Cowboy boots. Lucasi Lynn is the name.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, that's kind of cute. Casey Lynn.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But isn't that kind of just. You just add a middle name. Like, you can't name a kid Adolf now. I don't think. Oh, really? I think. I don't know. Maybe you just shouldn't.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, that's one of the names that was very popular back in the day.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then Hitler ruined it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Bad luck.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Or I guess you should probably stay away from Lord, too.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't do.

[Lunchbox]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Santa Claus. Legally, you can't do Santa. You can't do Nutella.

[Producer Eddie]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't do. You can do Jesus, but you can't do Jesus Christ.

[Producer Eddie]

Okay. But you can do Jesus.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because a lot of my delivery drivers are Jesus.

[Producer Eddie]

Absolutely, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

I have a friend named Jesus.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Back home, I often see that. And I'm like, jesus, bringing my food is awesome.

[Amy Brown]

It is blessed.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. You know, the two names I get Most Jesus. And I get a lot of Rons. Really? Ron.

[Producer Eddie]

I don't know a Ron.

[Lunchbox]

Me either.

[Bobby Bones]

And I. I think I get about a Ron a week that delivers me food.

[Amy Brown]

Do you think it's the same Ron?

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. Yeah. You know what? Is it the same Jesus?

[Amy Brown]

There's so many Rons.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I just never see the name Ron. And the two names that I get are Jesus and Ron.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, well, they're probably. They work your area.

[Producer Eddie]

Good point.

[Bobby Bones]

You do bring up a good point. I'm not gonna. You can't name a Messiah.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, I see that.

[Amy Brown]

What about Lucifer?

[Bobby Bones]

You can name a kid Damien. Lucifer, specifically. I don't know.

[Producer Eddie]

Probably not Satan either.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't Satan. It depends how you say it. You can't. And you can't name a kid Devil.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Gosh, that'd be weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That good. Anyway, I wonder what you guys thought about Lucasi.

[Producer Eddie]

I don't mind it.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, I wouldn't do it, but I. You know, and maybe if there's a nickname attached to it.

[Producer Eddie]

Luke.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but it's a girl.

[Bobby Bones]

But a nickname doesn't matter because you could say, well, my kid Devel. We just call him Little D. You can't. The nickname is not an argument. Yeah. Okay. So you guys are actually. You like Lucas?

[Amy Brown]

I don't. I'm not using it for myself ever. But it's not totally terrible. Well, I like it with the middle name. Would you say it was Lucasi Lynn?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

So cute.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think you can do. Yeah, this is my kid. Hitler William. Like, I don't think the middle name makes it. Accept it either is or is.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, lucasi should send them some boots.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, for sure, for sure. Like baby boots. But then she grows out of them and then she wants more.

[Amy Brown]

She gets a lifetime supply of boots.

[Bobby Bones]

If she's an athlete, she gets an nil. Deal.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, that'd be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

From Lucasi. Okay, so you're cool. Great. Hey, I won't judge. I just thought it was wild that it was allowed. I didn't know you could just throw brand names up there and be.

[Amy Brown]

What brand of shoes would you name your kid after? Well, if you had to pick one.

[Bobby Bones]

Brand, just going to be based on how I like the shoe would have to match if I like the word or the name of the shoe because did you know we say Adidas, but that's not how it's said. It's Adidas.

[Amy Brown]

Adidas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Puma would be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Puma. Puma. Bones. Yeah, Puma.

[Amy Brown]

Adidas. Adidas.

[Bobby Bones]

But Audi and Addie. That's a real name because that's Addison or Nike. Re. I think I'd probably go with something like. Like a. Like a Dior. That's like a name. A real name.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, like luxury.

[Bobby Bones]

Sure. But I'm also not gonna name any kid Nike just because of the name. Not even. Like I said, it's not even really about the shoe.

[Producer Eddie]

I see what you did there, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. That's good.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She's celebrating her own little pun.

[Lunchbox]

I get it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. There's a new TikTok trend, and it is sitting around and being bored. Which, if that's the case, I've been living it. I'm so hip. Just. That's all I'll do is sit around and be bored. Can't. Can't do anything. My foot's broken.

[Amy Brown]

Are they doing it for any specific reason? Like, is there a benefit?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, to just be bored and let your mind find something creative. Okay. There's a. It's a terrible trend when kids are sitting around bored. They find that it's the perfect time to take a video of themselves sitting around being bored.

[Producer Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

That's the trend.

[Bobby Bones]

It is to sit idle and free of distractions. But I will say this. Shout out to whomever started this trend, because it's way better than shooting hairspray in your butthole or whatever and then lighting it on fire. Yes. Because that seems to be what all trends are. It's. Somehow there's a chance you might die. Like, let's eat a Tide pod. Let's punch ourselves in the nuts as hard as we can.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

This is sitting around being bored. I commend you. And it's all I've done. I'm on my scooter today. I've graduated from crutch to scooter because I'm in a full boot now, and it's a walking boot, except I can't walk this week in it. I have to wait one more week to put any pressure on my foot from ankle surgery. But I'm gonna tell you, I wiped out on my scooter last night at my house.

[Producer Eddie]

Well, because you're flying in that thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, it's not even that. I. The pad where you put your knee is not that wide, and I went a little on the left. Well, let me tell you this. First of all, my wife left last night. She should have never left me at home by myself.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I ended up ordering, like, three dogs from Daddy's Dogs.

[Amy Brown]

Hot dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Producer Eddie]

Well, not real dogs, Amy.

[Amy Brown]

I've never been to daddy's dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

True. Labrador didn't come to the house. It's a good point.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so. And not that that's bad, but I was like, she's not here. I'm just gonna go hard. So I had three in my stomach.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I ate, like, way too much relish, so my stomach was killing me. And then I let Ella out right at dusk, and we have, you know, we live on a bunch of acres, so she usually goes, gets thirsty, comes back in about an hour, four hours. I don't know where she is. I can't find her. I just imagine she's escaped again. Here I am, you know, Hobbly Joe, Peg leg pirate, can't do anything, and I'm yelling in the backyard, and so I don't want to bother her. She's out doing something, like, something that's fun for a change for her at night, so. Okay, good. And then I get on my scooter, and I put my knee down, and I wipe out. And not only do I wipe out, I land on my bad foot, and I'm like, well, here we go again. More surgery.

[Producer Eddie]

And you're alone.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm alone. Oh, I feel like the lady in that commercial. Help. I'm falling. I can't get up. And I thought about texting her, but she's very pregnant, and she doesn't go out much because she doesn't always feel good enough to go out. And I'm like, I got a dog that's missing. My stomach hurts. I think I just re. Ripped my foot. And I'm just gonna lay here for a while. I laid on the floor for, like, two minutes. My foot is so bruised anyway from the surgery that I just prayed. I had a little moment. I said, dear God, that one's on me. I started with that because I wanted him to know that was on me.

[Amy Brown]

Like you owned it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But if you can, please make sure that I didn't hurt this bad enough to have to go and have surgery again. It was like someone stabbed needles into my foot. It wouldn't have happened. So I rolled back, then I took a bath. Here's the problem. I can't get out of the bath. I didn't realize that.

[Amy Brown]

Why would you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

Everything was going wrong. And my one comfort is a bath. And so I get in the bath, and I can't get it wet because they took all the stitches out, and they're like, it's not going to heal fully if it stays submerged. You can have water on it a little bit, but don't submerge it. So I got one leg out of the bath. Now, if you've ever seen my bathtub in an Instagram post, it. It's one of those deep bathtubs that stand alone. And so I got my leg out and I'm wet. I'm in the water and I'm like, I can't get out. So I got no wife to help me get out. My stomach hurts, my foot hurts, my dog's missing. It's almost a country song. It's close.

[Amy Brown]

Well, you should write about it.

[Bobby Bones]

It was almost. And so she finally comes home and I hear her come to the door, and I'm like, help. Oh, gosh.

[Amy Brown]

You were still in the tub.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, I got out of the tub. Okay, good.

[Producer Eddie]

Now you're shaking with cold.

[Amy Brown]

I was like, I was hoping you drained it at least.

[Bobby Bones]

So I was like, I can't find Eller, our dog, she's missing. And she's like, where did. Like, what do you mean? And we have a find my on her collar, and it said she was on our property, but she hadn't come home. So I'm like, she's either in the pool, she drowned, or she's been attacked by another animal in the woods. Cause she. She always comes home in four hours, always comes home in 30 minutes. She's like, okay. So she puts on her sweats, she gets a flashlight, and she's back basically in the woods looking for the dog. And then finally Laura just runs out.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, God.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, what did you. And then all night long I'm doing this. I don't want to bother you, but.

[Amy Brown]

What did you need?

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing. I just wanted her to know my foot was hurting real bad. I was like, you needed the love.

[Producer Eddie]

Is what you needed.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, oh, I don't need it. She's like, can I get you anything? No. Oh. Oh. And so eventually she was like, I'm going to go get. So she went and got some hash browns just frozen and put them on my foot.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, from the freezer?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Didn't have an ice pack ready.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you know what? Frozen vegetables. How that separates is so much better than ice anyway. Yeah. Like peas or the corn. Hash browns. Yeah. Heck of a night I had yet last night, but I am on a scooter and I've been bored for a couple days. So I've been doing TikTok trends, basically.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what's up. You Guys can call us if you want. 877 77. Bobby, how was your weekend?

[Amy Brown]

It was really good. Like, pretty low key. I was at the same thing your wife was at last night. God, it was good to see her.

[Bobby Bones]

Good to see her. You guys sat by each other and talked to each other the whole time.

[Amy Brown]

Well, it was good to see her. And I was, you know, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, she bumped into her.

[Amy Brown]

There was a sign seating, and I was sitting next to her, so that was fun to be able to catch up. And I do think, just my observation, she was enjoying the adult time away, the break.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like I'm a baby.

[Producer Eddie]

She left you alone a little bit.

[Amy Brown]

I'm glad. She didn't even have her phone out, so if you would have texted me.

[Bobby Bones]

She should have left a sitter with me. You don't leave your baby without leaving. Right.

[Amy Brown]

Like, her phone was in her bag. I think she was just like. I was thinking, gosh, if you had really needed her, I don't know, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Would have died in that bathtub before I would have ever called her. Because she finally felt good enough to go out. And so I had just gone down with the ship.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, good, good.

[Bobby Bones]

But I didn't. And I should be applauded for that. Celebrated. Because I didn't bother her.

[Amy Brown]

I was like. How do I say this gently? I think she was really enjoying her time.

[Bobby Bones]

I know she was. Yeah, it was good. Yeah. So you guys had a good time?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, we did. Except for.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you gonna say it? I'm not gonna say it.

[Amy Brown]

You can say it.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Amy Brown]

Well, who's gonna say it?

[Bobby Bones]

Because I wasn't gonna bring it up.

[Amy Brown]

Well, we're not gonna say exactly what it is. Let's just say that I didn't know everyone. So I was like, I'm gonna film this part too. So I film it, but I put it on Instagram.

[Bobby Bones]

When they said, don't put.

[Amy Brown]

I didn't hear that part.

[Bobby Bones]

They did something and said, don't put it on Instagram.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, to be fair, I did not hear that.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not a. To be fair. I thought every. Every other single person heard it. And you were with everybody else.

[Amy Brown]

Every single person. We don't know that for sure.

[Producer Eddie]

Was it something that normally you don't post? If someone said, don't post this.

[Amy Brown]

I know, but I did. Bobby, I'm telling you.

[Bobby Bones]

And Amy left it up for half an hour, and my wife saw it, I think, and texted you, like, hey, that shouldn't be.

[Amy Brown]

She was like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. You're supposed to put that part up. Or they said, because there's other things happening to where they're going to reveal it. And I was like, oh, so I'm sure. And then I took it down. And then your wife texted me. She goes, I'm sure nobody saw it.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, hey, half an hour.

[Producer Eddie]

I'm sure a lot of people saw it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. So it was. Oh, it was good times.

[Bobby Bones]

Good. I'm glad you had a little struggle last night, too.

[Producer Eddie]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Makes me feel not so alone.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, no, I felt bad.

[Bobby Bones]

I laughed out loud. She was. She said, this happened and before they did it, they said, don't post this because we're gonna. And then she goes. And I looked at Amy's. Was up for half an hour.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, that's on you.

[Bobby Bones]

She said. I called her and said, take it down.

[Amy Brown]

I missed that part. I. You know, it happens.

[Bobby Bones]

They sold a 980 million Mega Millions ticket. So it's one of the big ones. It didn't hit a billion, so I wasn't interested.

[Producer Eddie]

So close.

[Bobby Bones]

When it hits a billion, that's when I'm like, I can jump in and play because now it's worth it. But one or more people in Noonan, Georgia bought the ticket. $980 million. The winning tickets, cash value is 452 million. The store gets a $50,000 bonus. You ever been to a store that gets the bonus?

[Amy Brown]

No, I don't think I've been in.

[Lunchbox]

A store where they have a check like saying, oh, we sold a million dollar winner. And they have big signs advertising it. So you'll buy that like, oh, maybe I'll get that lucky ticket.

[Bobby Bones]

Does it make you want to buy more since they sold one? Or law of average is never going to happen again? No.

[Lunchbox]

East side of town here they sell a lot of winners.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot winners or like Mega Millions winners. Because I think everybody probably has a bunch of winners if you have a bunch. Right. I always like people that go in, rob stores and steal scratch offs. It's my favorite thing. And they go and they think, well, let's get some stuff, but let's do all the scratch offs and make millions. But they don't work unless you beep them. It's like stealing gift cards.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. You don't activate it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. If you're at Kroger and you grab, you just say you grab all of them and steal all them and you run out and you're like, I can Buy so much at Bed, Bath and Beyond, except until you beep them. So now you got to go steal a BEEP system.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, great.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I've never heard of anybody.

[Amy Brown]

Doing that stealing a beep system.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be the move to steal a beep system first.

[Producer Eddie]

What is that?

[Bobby Bones]

The lottery machine, even for, like, gift cards. Oh, that. I think the lottery would be harder.

[Lunchbox]

It'd be impossible because they have numbers on every ticket and they can just put it in the system and saying, hey, these are uncashable because they're stolen.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they could probably do that with gift cards too, at the grocery store, because they all have numbers on the back of them.

[Amy Brown]

Sometimes when something hasn't been done, there's surely somebody's tried this already.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. That's. That's the move. If I were like, think of something new and creative, I would try to steal one of those beeps because all of those numbers are documented. Lottery ticket, gift card. And so you have to beep it to make it active. If I could steal a beep system and then I could steal all the gift cards.

[Producer Eddie]

But I feel like the gift card ones, they just scan it on the ones they scan the groceries on.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but they still have to be beeped.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, but this.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay, well, then in my house, I'm gonna have a whole grocery thing. I'm gonna have an entire checkout. Yes, I'm have a checkout. There was a story about Paris Hilton saying she's self made. And so I'll read you this. Paris Hilton says she's self made. Yes. I came from Hilton hotels, but I've parlayed it into such huge businesses. Everything I've done, I've done on my own. Paris would like you to know she's self made. In the interview, she says, ever since I was a teenager, I wanted to be independent. I don't want to have to ask my family for everything. And she goes on. Paris compares her situation to Kylie Jenner, who also claims to be self made. I think they're getting confused for working hard and self made, because I think they probably both do work very hard.

[Amy Brown]

And they created something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. From what was already made for them by who their parents were and the money they had. Neither Paris Hilton or Kylie Jenner is self made, but they have. But I don't want to remove how hard they've worked. I'm sure they've worked hard, but it's also really easy to take risks and work hard. And you have the greatest safety net in the history of safety nets.

[Amy Brown]

That's what. Maybe we need a new word for it, because. Yeah, it's sort of like the two things can be true. Like, yes, you work incredibly hard, and you've created all these things, and you've parlayed it into this and that and this. But you had this giant springboard.

[Bobby Bones]

Huge. And then if something went wrong, you got a net bounce you right back up. And you could also fly little private jets to your meetings to get your company started. Neither of them are self made, and I don't want to take anything away from the fact that they worked hard, but it is kind of irritating for somebody like me who grew up in a trailer park and has kind of made it going. That's not. Anyway, it's the same.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Like, when your kid grows up, if they dare try to say they're self made, oh, my God.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm grabbing them by the shoulders, being like, you didn't make this. I did.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Yeah. You tell him. Yeah, tell him. Tell her.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. We know what you meant.

[Amy Brown]

I know I meant, tell him.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, I think I said, tell him.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell them.

[Amy Brown]

Like, apostrophe. Tell him.

[Bobby Bones]

All right.

[Producer Eddie]

So dumb.

[Amy Brown]

What? I feel like I gotta do that because somebody would take my. And make it something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

And I can laugh.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Tell them. Tell them, Tell them. Tell them. You tell them. All right, let's go to. Let's go to. Now, Amy all of a sudden's a Beverly Hillbilly. You tell.

[Producer Eddie]

I reckon.

[Bobby Bones]

Brendan, Virginia, you're on. Hi.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, good morning. Bobby in the group.

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening, Brenda?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, my goodness. I'm running into Knoxville now. I'm traveling from Arizona. I had to travel to Arizona to take care of my brother's. He's passing away. He's dying.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

[Caller/Listener]

He's now in comfort care.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you drive?

[Caller/Listener]

Very, very. Does he drive?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Well, I know he doesn't. Did you drive?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, I drove from Virginia down to Arizona, Tucson. And I'm on my way back.

[Amy Brown]

Wow.

[Caller/Listener]

And I'm hitting Knoxville on Nashville right now. I'm 40.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, can I help you with something?

[Caller/Listener]

Okay. So I wanted to let you know that I had a triple arthritis done on my left ankle last year, and those scooters are deadly. They need to get one of your sidekicks there, bump it up or make them better, because they are very dangerous. I had the same thing happen, and let me tell you, don't put it off. Go get your foot checked, because that happened to me and they had to do some tweaking.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't take the tweaking emotionally right now in my foot.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but it could be you're gonna make it worse.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I have fafo.

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Producer Eddie]

What's that?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll tell you about it tomorrow. Don't worry. I have fafo.

[Producer Eddie]

Is that an acronym?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay. I feel like I've heard of fofo. I was calling it fofo.

[Producer Eddie]

Well, you're saying something different.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, she's right.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, it's fofo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I. Fofo.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, is that like fomo?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not like fomo. It's not. It's fomo.

[Amy Brown]

That's funny. I never thought of you having it, but now that you say it, I do think you have it, because I sent it to my friend that I think has it.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, Brenda, listen, I'm sorry you're dealing with that with your brother. That really sucks. But I appreciate you calling. And you know what? I think the message need to be said. If you hurt your foot or leg and you got to get a scooter, be careful, because Brenda and myself both have wiped out on these things. Brenda, somebody's in the car with you.

[Producer Eddie]

Who's that?

[Amy Brown]

Who's in there?

[Bobby Bones]

Who is it?

[Caller/Listener]

The lady that traveled down to Arizona. She used to date my brother and used to. Is a great friend.

[Bobby Bones]

So am I on Bluetooth? Am I on Bluetooth right now? Yeah. What? What's up?

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. I can't drive.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's good. What's her name?

[Caller/Listener]

Her name is Linda.

[Bobby Bones]

What up, Linda?

[Lunchbox]

It's like she didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

What's up, Linda? Have you ever heard of our show, Linda before this road trip?

[Caller/Listener]

Darling, I listen to y' all offline.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I appreciate that. Well, thank you very much. I'm glad I got to talk to you. I hope you guys have a great rest of your trip. I know you're. If the situation is not great. So we're thinking about you guys, but I appreciate you calling.

[Caller/Listener]

Thank.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Producer Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye, guys.

[Caller/Listener]

Be careful.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Oh, I will. Don't worry.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Yeah, they are. Brendan. Linda.

[Producer Eddie]

Linda had a great laugh.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Linda came in with the old chipmunk from the. From. From out the outfield. Hit me with this voicemail.

[Caller/Listener]

Raymundo, Long time listener, part chewer. I love you guys. I'm just checking on Bobby after the LSU versus Arkansas game.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Caller/Listener]

Go Tigers. Okay, bye.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no need to do that. There's no need to Oomph. I'm numb. I'm numb. I'm numb.

[Amy Brown]

I even saw that, and I'm numb. Hurt for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't make me not numb.

[Amy Brown]

I didn't bring it up.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you know what's crazy about this situation? I don't claim to be any kind of Arkansas insider, but I know a bunch of the coaches that are interviewing for the job. Like, they're literally calling me, going, let me ask you some questions before I do interviews. And then I see, like, insiders putting stuff out that I know just isn't true because I'm literally talking to the coaches interviewing for the job. That's cool. And no, but I don't, like, jump in in the mix or anything. Only one time did I hop in. They were like, this guy is up for coach. And I was like, no, he's not. And everyone's like, you don't know crap. It's like, this is like, the one thing I do know. I know, like, three things. 90s sitcoms, the history and the state of country music and the Arkansas coaching search, but not through the Arkansas people, oddly enough, because I've tried to stay out. But, yeah, that's what's up. We should do that in the next couple of days.

[Amy Brown]

Do what?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, do you know ball?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay. I know. I'm trying to figure out what ball I know.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's a tick tock thing. Like, if you know ball, the original thing is it. It's like, do you know ball? It's like, do you actually know football?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you actually know basketball? But it's not now it's turned into what do you know? Really? Well, that people would be surprised to hear that you know ball. And so I got a few. So we'll do that. All right, thank you, everybody. Call us if you want. 8, 7, 7, 77, Bobby. 8, 7, 7,77, Bobby. Hit us up.

[Lunchbox]

Hello, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones. My fiance's brother has been having a tough time since losing his job. The plant he was working at shut down earlier this year. I feel for him and my fiance. We both feel for him. And she's been helping out financially, but it's affecting our future. I get that she wants to support him, but she's paying most of his bills and now wants to let him move in. And even if it means us having to cut back on spending and investing. I admire her kindness, but I'm worried this could ruin our relationship. How do I talk to her about setting limits without sounding heartless or like I'm putting money ahead of family signed budget versus brother in law. I'm going to say, first of all, you should be grateful for the situation before you get married because you're going to learn a lot about her and how she feels and her responsibilities toward her family at a time right now before you actually commit to her. And that's going to happen throughout your whole marriage. So in a way, this sucks. It happened to him and we'll get to that. The fact that this is happening before you get married, this is a great lesson on what's going to happen when you do get married. And now you're going to see if you like this or not. And it could affect if you decide to get married or not. Not that it's going to. You're going to call it quits because of it. But you see now that she puts her family above, well, herself. And that's always going to happen in your relationship. And I think that's something you need to know. And I think that's great if it works for both of you if you're the same way. So that's my first statement on this, is that you are getting a valuable learning lesson here about how she's going to be her entire life. And I think it's wonderful she's a selfless person. I do understand how it could be annoying for you, so I do want to say that as well. But you're learning about her in a way that you wouldn't have unless the situation presented itself. And it's eventually going to present itself. Secondly, this is definitely a conversation where you need to ask a lot of questions instead of inserting a lot of boundaries at first. And your questions are, hey, so I know he's doing this, like, what is our long term plan with this? I love that you want to help your family out, but how long do you think it's fair to let him stay? What is fair to give him before he has to be on his own? Because if you just start throwing out boundaries in a situation like this with somebody you're close with, when it involves their family, that begins to create a bit of a toxic environment in your relationship. So ask a lot of questions, but what you're doing is you're setting yourself up for the boundaries because I think there needs to be boundaries here. But you can't just go throwing out cardboard boxes to be like, nope, can't go past this. You're learning a lot, ask a lot of questions. And then from her answers, then you got to do the tough part and say, completely Understand, I'm with you. This matters to you. How about abcd? And you negotiate that? That would be my answer here, Amy.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. No, I think you absolutely can have this conversation. You can have it in a healthy way. I think that's really good advice about not throwing up the boundaries right away, because then she's going to get on the defense. But this is a learning opportunity for. Yeah. What it's going to be like. And you. You have every right to insert your thoughts on it, but understand her heart and where it's at and should there be limits? Yes, absolutely. Because, like, she might be a giving, loving person, but that can also go too far. Like, if she has some people pleasing tendencies or she lacks certain boundaries, that's where you can come in and kind of be the Ying to her Yang.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think so she doesn't get defensive. You ask a lot of questions first before you start giving a lot of answers.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Because this is about her.

[Amy Brown]

Y' all can come up to with a solution together.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, sure. Well, he's probably going to come up with a solution of boundaries, but he's got to present it like she has.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like he needs her feedback before he starts throwing up boundaries.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, yeah. I would. I would appreciate a partner like that. Like, if I was doing something that was maybe potentially enabling to somebody else.

[Bobby Bones]

Or like, some definitely could be enabling. Great point.

[Amy Brown]

Right, Right. I would appreciate a partner that would call me out on that in a loving way and hold me accountable and be like, hey, maybe this isn't the best thing for them.

[Bobby Bones]

I call you out all the time. I don't get that response. I get. Shut up. What? Okay, you're stupid.

[Amy Brown]

That's as not. Not ever happened.

[Bobby Bones]

You're stuttering. All right, there you go.

[Amy Brown]

Because I'm like, what did you.

[Bobby Bones]

Good luck. Listen, be happy this happened now and not. Not after you got married, because you may not like how this all shakes out, but I think you will. This is just one of those things you have to get through as a married couple. That's it. Close it up. Amy is great at this game where I play a random sound and she can identify the sound. It's unlike any skill I've ever seen. And so I'm gonna give you a chance here to win a prize for this caller named Kim in Delaware. Kim, how are you?

[Amy Brown]

Good. How are you guys doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Hello. Doing pretty good. So I'm gonna let Amy listen to seven sounds a fall, and if she can name five of seven, Kim, you are going to win a grab bag of prizes. Okay.

[Amy Brown]

That sounds great. She's gonna do it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Thank you for believing in me.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

This is her thing.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Okay. I feel like you're setting me up a little too much.

[Bobby Bones]

No, this is your thing. Okay, here we go. Play the example. Clip. Ray. Easy. What is that?

[Amy Brown]

It's walking in leaves.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course it is. I'm telling you, this is it. We found her superpower.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Five is seven. Number one, Amy. What does that sound?

[Amy Brown]

Fire Crackling.

[Bobby Bones]

That is crackling fire. That is correct. All sounds of fall. She is one for one. Number two.

[Lunchbox]

Amy.

[Amy Brown]

That is raking leaves.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course it's raking leaves. Wow. Number three. This one. Level 10 difficulty.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds of fall.

[Amy Brown]

Sounds of fall. Not. Not winter sound.

[Bobby Bones]

The game has been since the beginning. Sounds of fall.

[Amy Brown]

Some sounds of fall. It's fall here, but it snowed earlier this week. You know, it gets tricky.

[Bobby Bones]

Is the category.

[Amy Brown]

One more time, please go. This is. I mean, you say level 10 and I'm trying. I mean, I'm somewhere between chopping an apple and chopping wood. So it depends.

[Bobby Bones]

Answer.

[Amy Brown]

Chopping wood.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Caller/Listener]

Chopping an apple.

[Producer Eddie]

No.

[Amy Brown]

Chopping.

[Bobby Bones]

It is a pumpkin being carved.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. That's where I kind of got the. That's. That's sort of. That's in between wood and an apple.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here we go. Next one up. Can you name that sound?

[Amy Brown]

Sounds of fall.

[Bobby Bones]

It's been the name of the game the entire time.

[Amy Brown]

I know, but that sounds like.

[Bobby Bones]

Do it again.

[Amy Brown]

Man. Sounds like you're digging for some empty jam in a jar.

[Producer Eddie]

That does sound like that.

[Amy Brown]

Scraping for that cranberry sauce. Sounds a fall. What?

[Bobby Bones]

Answer.

[Amy Brown]

I wish I would have gotten Carving pumpkins. I knew it.

[Bobby Bones]

Time.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know this one.

[Bobby Bones]

Stirring a drink. Okay, next up.

[Amy Brown]

Sorry. That sounds a fall.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up.

[Producer Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe she's not that good.

[Producer Eddie]

These sounds are crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe she came up.

[Amy Brown]

Stirring a drink is. Sounds of life.

[Bobby Bones]

It is.

[Producer Eddie]

Okay, that was the last one.

[Lunchbox]

She was the pumpkin. After that. She went even close to the pumpkin.

[Amy Brown]

Yes. I thought. Pumpkin.

[Producer Eddie]

Come on.

[Amy Brown]

[Bobby Bones]

What do you got?

[Amy Brown]

I need to hear it one more time.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Here you go. At least. What is that?

[Amy Brown]

It sounds like little rocks or marbles or something in your dominoes maybe. Do people play that in the fall? I bet people do when they're stirring a Drink. I need an answer, guys. I don't know what that is. Is it. Is it acorns?

[Bobby Bones]

Is that your answer? Yes, it's acorns. Yes.

[Amy Brown]

Do you blend a lot in the fall? You know, because that's, like. At first I thought it was a leaf blower, but at the end, it sounds like a blender.

[Bobby Bones]

One more time.

[Amy Brown]

Cannot be a blender because, like, what does that have to do. I mean, are you baking pies?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Caller/Listener]

Why are you making that face?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't make a face.

[Amy Brown]

Kitchenaid. Blender. Are you baking or is it a leaf blower? The end. This is leaf blower or blender sounds? A fall. I mean, stirring a drink was a sound.

You said blender, but I said kitchen.

[Bobby Bones]

But she thought about. And we have no idea what she thought. No, I. I'm gonna give you one more chance to win, Kim. Amy apparently is not as good as we thought. She let you down.

[Producer Eddie]

Tremendous.

[Amy Brown]

I would say some of these sounds of fall are year round.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. But that they're also in the fall.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Well, it's a little tricky because.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go. So I'm gonna do this one and Lunchbox, if you get this one, she wins.

[Lunchbox]

James Bennett is from Oaklawn, Illinois, and he was a World War II veteran. Got shot twice in the war. So he got a Purple Heart and he never wanted to lose it. So he put it in a safety deposit box and forgot about it. Well, he passed away and it just sat there. Then it went unclaimed, so it was handed over to the Treasury Department. And they've been hunting and hunting and they finally tracked down a relative and returned the Purple Heart.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they were hunting for a relative? Yeah, for the thing in the deposit box. Like, where did it go?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, the deposit box got. Deposit box got.

[Bobby Bones]

He really struggled with deposit box. Yeah, that's like that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they turned it over. The treasurer of Illinois and they had to go through records and try to find and they were able to find a niece that was related to him and got the Purple Heart back to him.

Because your well deserved me time should be all about you. Book a session [e-mail] a couple folks went over to Yellowstone national park and they got charged by a bison. Now the folks there and the signs there say don't go near the bisons but they wanted to get a picture of the, of the bison and so they narrowly missed being gored and charged. And I read these stories and the headline is Idiot tourists narrowly avoid being gored by bison. I would be that person in this situation. I'm not walking near the edge of a cliff, I'm not doing any of that down a waterfall. But if there's like a really cool animal that isn't normally aggressive, I might try to get kind of close to it to get a decent picture. They weren't trying to ride the bison, they were just trying to get somewhat near it and take a picture close to it. I'm not too good to say that. I wouldn't possibly be this person.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. And if you get way too close to a bison, may I recommend just getting really, really, really close to it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's a bad recommendation.

[Amy Brown]

No, no, no, no, you're out, you're doing. No, hear me out, hear me out. Whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

I just need like a warning on it. Like smokers when they get pack of cigarettes.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, the warning is I don't know exactly what I'm talking about. But my theory is bisons, I don't know if it's nearsighted, farsighted, whatever. They have that vision where they can't see.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but you don't even know what sided they are.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know what it's called, but, but I know that they can like walk right up to a tree and then not know it's right there because it's so close. So like they have that vision. So if you just walk up and stand, you know, like if you're scared, stand like a tree and they won't see you.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that that's true. I would like to say she didn't even know what sided they were because I don't know.

[Amy Brown]

I don't have vision problems really. I mean at my mid-40s I need reading glasses, but that's, you know, Other than that I don't, I don't really have issues.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I would like to say I would probably be one of those people. I wouldn't try to ride the bison, nor would I do what Amy says, like get so close they don't know what I. But I don't want to judge them because I think it would be cool to get a picture with a bison like 20ft in the background.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I just googled it and it says bison are nearsighted and have poor eyesight.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I just googled it. Still says your theory is dumb.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but you can bank on their.

[Bobby Bones]

You're going to get somebody killed.

[Amy Brown]

No, no, no, no. I'm saying that if you're in a desperate situation.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, don't go near the bison if you're in a desperate situation. Voicemail. Hit it.

[Amy Brown]

My 10 year old son is currently.

[Caller/Listener]

Has a Nintendo Switch which he does enjoy.

[Amy Brown]

But he's starting to ask about bigger gaming systems and that is on his Christmas wish list. What's the best gaming system for a 10 year old right now? Basically I'm trying to make a smart choice that won't turn into a money.

[Caller/Listener]

Pit or something too mature for him.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Caller/Listener]

Have a great day.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there are two. There's an Xbox and a PS5 and then there's if he wants to end up using like, like a mon. A control computer monitor that if he gets really good. But Those are the two right now, a PS5 and an Xbox. But the money pit is not going to be what you're buying. It's going to be from in game purchases.

[Producer Eddie]

So true.

[Bobby Bones]

Buying skins and the ability to beat levels and yes. So just know that you're going to spend all this money on a system but where the money is going to come from is him going mom, I just need $9 to buy the in game so be prepared for that. But yeah, those are the two systems that I would recommend and let. Let him pick. His friends are probably playing one more than the other. So whichever one because they're basically the same. All right, one more voicemail.

[Caller/Listener]

Me and my daughter love this broadcast this radio station. I want to also say I am triple negative aggressive breast cancer free, six years, no chemo, no radiation. And my name is Ms. Angela. Ms. Angela, they call me Ms. Angel. There is hope. There is hope. Thank you so much.

[Bobby Bones]

Congratulations, that's really great to hear. What if that was a real life angel that called?

[Amy Brown]

It sounded like she was calling.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, kind of like a hazy.

[Producer Eddie]

It's kind of like hazy like from heaven?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

No, but she's a survivor, so, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you mean she died?

[Amy Brown]

No, she survived.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Yeah. I was just thinking she was like, just a literal angel.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. I mean, they're alive, so they've survived.

[Bobby Bones]

What angels? They're not alive.

[Producer Eddie]

What do you mean, they're not alive?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they're not alive. They're not. They're not made of organic matter like us. No, no, no.

[Producer Eddie]

They're in the spirits.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Realm.

[Bobby Bones]

The spirits aren't alive as we are defined as a.

[Producer Eddie]

Would they call themselves a survivor?

[Amy Brown]

Can they get breast cancer?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe she did. It doesn't matter. So many you guys throw me in. So many weird. Okay, you guys can call us anytime. 877-77. Bobby. That's a phone number. That's our voicemail line.

Well, I mean, I'm sure I will.

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy Brown]

Be fair, but I didn't, because I remember when the. They let. They released the smoke.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but you don't know. You don't know.

[Amy Brown]

I can't think of it at this moment now, Pope.

[Bobby Bones]

Ron.

[Amy Brown]

Ron.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Amy Brown]

Once I started to say Ron, I was like, that's not right.

[Lunchbox]

Pope.

[Producer Eddie]

Skyler.

[Amy Brown]

What is it?

[Bobby Bones]

Pope Leo. Pope. What?

[Amy Brown]

[Bobby Bones]

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, it's a great one, dude.

[Amy Brown]

Classic.

[Bobby Bones]

The Sound of Music.

[Producer Eddie]

Never seen it.

[Bobby Bones]

You have an Above People, an old.

[Producer Eddie]

Movie that I'd love to see, but just have never seen it.

[Bobby Bones]

1965. Ordinary People from 1980. Movie. Mike, you ever seen that one? I've not seen that one. And Dodgeball.

[Producer Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm kidding on that one now.

[Producer Eddie]

That would be awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

And Life is Beautiful.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, dude, that's the one. I made you watch Amy, the Italian movie.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I had to watch it in subtitles.

[Bobby Bones]

What'd you think about it?

[Amy Brown]

I think I ended up liking it. Right?

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, you loved it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, you can't tell her. She loved it.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, I was trapped. I watched it. I remember on the bus that we took to St. Jude one time, like, you. You. We were on your, like. Like a tour bus thing. So it's kind of cozy, but I had nothing else to do.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you watched it?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, and so it's hard to gauge if I really liked it.

[Producer Eddie]

You loved it. It's so good.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me your four favorite movies.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. The three have always been and they will always be, and it is Pretty Woman, Dirty Dancing, Steel Magnolias.

[Bobby Bones]

Easy.

[Amy Brown]

I never waver from that. The fourth one is a little bit of a grab bag, but today I'm going Elf.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Because the holiday season.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, it's holiday season. And it's just such a good, like, perfect movie. I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

My fourth changes a bit sometimes, too. Like, I got three solids, which is man on the Moon with Jim Carrey, and he's playing Andy Kaufman. Truman show with Jim Carrey. Oh, you don't love Truman Show.

[Producer Eddie]

It's a good movie. But you got two Jim Carrey.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Producer Eddie]

So the third one's Mask.

[Bobby Bones]

The third one is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And I don't consider Jim Carrey to be one of my favorite actors, but my three favorite movies have serious Jim Carrey in it.

[Amy Brown]

Wow, that's what you like?

[Bobby Bones]

Not funny Jim Carrey, but serious Jim Carrey. And then my fourth is Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. It's a good one because it was my favorite movie as a kid. That's Phone Booth. It's time travel. But also learned so much about Socrates, Joan of Arc. Like, I wanted to learn more about them because. Or so crates, as they call them.

[Producer Eddie]

Genghis Khan.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because Bill and Ted went back in time and learned, and so I loved it. Keanu Reeves is in that. So I love Bill and Ted. So those are my four, Eddie.

[Producer Eddie]

Mine's Forrest Gump. I have Shawshank Redemption, Field of Dreams. Like, if it's ever on TV and I'm skipping channels, I'm gonna stop and watch it. And then my last one's Goodwill Hunting.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Producer Eddie]

Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Just saw it for the first time about a year ago.

[Producer Eddie]

And you.

[Bobby Bones]

It was good.

[Producer Eddie]

It's awesome.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Is Andy McDowell in that?

[Producer Eddie]

No. Mini driver.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah. Same person.

[Producer Eddie]

Different person.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but same for you. You wouldn't convince me if they walked in. There's a difference in those two. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's easy. Braveheart, Dazed and Confused, Old School. Showgirls.

[Producer Eddie]

That's not true.

[Bobby Bones]

He's lying about showgirls.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I don't like it. I like it.

[Amy Brown]

The first three are good.

[Bobby Bones]

The first three? Yes. Yeah, he's just trying to get us to be like you. Like showgirls. Hey, Movie Mike, what about you? You're in a movie expert. Your favorite four Dark Knight. Is number one. Has always been my number one. Broke the mold on superhero movies. Good. Number two is Twister, the movie I've seen the most. I've seen it over 50 times. Old twister. Old Twister. Can you quote it back as it goes? Yeah. Okay. And then number three is Spider Man 2. My favorite superhero of all time. Inspired the tattoo I have. Yeah, Spider man tattoo. I do have Spider Man.

[Producer Eddie]

I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

On my arm right here. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the reason I got that. And then my fourth one is the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Favorite movie as a kid. That was good.

[Producer Eddie]

So a lot of them are kind of our childhood teenage years movies.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine aren't.

[Producer Eddie]

Not yours. Yours are like college time, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Or a little after. Mine are always like, yeah, yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Because there's nothing like recent in the last five years that we're like, here's the thing.

[Bobby Bones]

They don't make movies like they used to.

[Producer Eddie]

They sure do.

[Bobby Bones]

There's one thing I know. Movies and music. They don't make them like they used to. I'm curious to get your thoughts on this, because there's a woman and she was with her boyfriend for a long time. They break up. She's now 34, but she's suing him because he stole her childbearing years. Never really thought about going for money for this. And also, you know, she has the decision to stay with him the whole time. It's not like he held her hostage for all of these years. But this is from the New York Post. A 34 year old woman who was dumped after a decade of dating says she wants financial compensation from her ex for stealing her childbearing years. Said she believes her former flame should now pay for IVF or egg freezing or just the equivalency of that in cash after leaving her high and dry. Quote. Here I am, 34, eggs twitching, ready for marriage, ready for the parenthood stage of life. But I'm unexpectedly single and emotionally devastated. I am tipping into the furious phase of the grief cycle and he owes me big. I want him to pay. I'll go to you first. You being the woman here.

[Amy Brown]

No, I think this is ridiculous.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank God. Me too. I'm glad we could agree on this.

[Amy Brown]

If you thought for a second I was gonna agree with her. No, obviously you're devastated and you're acting like it. Like, yeah, you just need to pass that phase of grief and we need to get to the acceptance stage. This is your reality. This is what's happened to you. And it's not his fault.

[Bobby Bones]

It's their fault.

[Amy Brown]

Unless he like, held her.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I said.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the only thing. If he held her hostage for 10 years, well, then he just needs to go to jail. This is in a. Hey, let's debate if there's money being owed. But you stayed in the relationship with this guy for 10 years. You stayed in the relationship and he could have lied to you, and that's terrible. And, And a lot of this wasted time. I'm saying wasted time is his fault. But a lot of the waste of time is your fault too, because you chose to be with someone who did this. And it doesn't sound like from this he was abusive. It doesn't sound like he was manipulating you in any way like that. There comes a point, and I think Eddie can attest to this, where your wife gives you an ultimatum.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah. When we were dating, she was like, look, either you propose to me or I'm leaving. And that was the first time I'd ever thought about, like, oh, yeah, marriage.

[Bobby Bones]

And you'd been together six years. First time you ever thought about it?

[Amy Brown]

First time.

[Producer Eddie]

Yeah, we were having a good time. Like, we were just together. Didn't think we would had to get married at that moment, but in her mind, she was ready.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There is nothing that leads me to think that he owes her any money. We also don't know if she wasn't the reason he broke up with her. Like, something could have been wrong with her.

[Amy Brown]

Well, it sounds like a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, yes, yes. So I'm glad that I wanted you to go first.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I wondered how you feel.

[Amy Brown]

I would.

[Producer Eddie]

You never know.

[Bobby Bones]

You never know with you. Your wild card.

[Amy Brown]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'm always pretty logical. You're always. We go, let's see what happens.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Producer Eddie]

Except when you talk about aliens, dude. Not very logical.

[Bobby Bones]

That's extremely logical.

[Producer Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

I listen to Neil Degrasse Tyson going, yeah, for sure. There's things other than us, just scientifically speaking, mathematically speaking. But you guys go out and believe you little green men. Or there's not. Whatever you think. The gender reveal parties, like these over the top gender reveal parties been very popular. Social media people are asking, hey, you guys going to do one? No, obviously we're not going to. Like, would I if I had just created a baby by myself in my.

[Producer Eddie]

Own womb, didn't have a wife?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I might have the greatest gender reveal party in the history of time. I would have a spectacle that'd be A great video. It'd be the greatest. It would go viral. But that's not what my wife's about. But now more and more couples are choosing to keep their gender reveals private. Some people are just waiting until the delivery room, which I. I can't imagine that. I can't imagine that.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You just have to be so prepared, and I guess you compare with randoms. That doesn't matter. But I don't know.

[Producer Eddie]

I.

[Bobby Bones]

For me, I can't imagine that we have friends that did that, but it was always, like, their third kid. Not their first. None of my friends, I'm sure people have done first.

[Producer Eddie]

We thought about doing that with our first. But then one of the ultrasound visits, they were like, oh, there it is.

[Amy Brown]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there it is. They were very, very, very careful through all of our visits to be like, okay, before. I say before. No, do you already know? Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah. And so, yeah, it'd be the. I'd have, like, skydivers.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, skydivers.

[Bobby Bones]

Be like bottle service.

[Producer Eddie]

Like with the smoke that comes out of the skydivers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. And then they land. And you know how when you get bottle service at the bar, they have the sparklers and everything? It'd be all of that.

[Amy Brown]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It'd be. If I'd be on a float in a parade and.

[Producer Eddie]

You sure you haven't talked to your wife about this? Like, that'd be kind of cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I'll probably get punched if I even made the joke about it. Yeah. It's time for the good news with.

[Caller/Listener]

Producer Eddie something good.

[Producer Eddie]

Candy Roy lives in Colorado, and her husband's a truck driver. And for the first time in his truck driving career, he's not going to be home for the holidays.

[Bobby Bones]

So she's like, this is so sad.

[Producer Eddie]

I bet a lot of truck drivers deal with this. So her and her children, on Thanksgiving Day, what are they going to do? They're going to make a bunch of meals. They're going to go to the local truck stop, and they're going to give out meals to all the truckers that are passing by.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cool.

[Producer Eddie]

Their goal is 200 meals. That's what they've. They did a little crowdfunding, so the community kind of gave money. They have enough for 200 meals.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucks for them. But they also know that sucks for them, so it must suck for other people, too. So they're gonna go out and try to make it less sucky for other people. Like the truckers that are working not with their families. Man, That's a good one.

[Producer Eddie]

Turkey gravy, all the fixings.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. Wake up in the morning. And then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, Lunchbox, more Game 2, Scooby, Steve, Red hat, trying to put you through. Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Vaugh. Now. Time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy Brown]

My friends keep telling me to stop telling Thanksgiving jokes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

But I can't just quit cold turkey.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning corny. Yeah, that's pretty good. I didn't know. I didn't know. I didn't think that was gonna be pretty good. That's pretty good. Pretty good. All right, hit me with that voicemail.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, just wondering, did Amy's psychic cousin predict that Bobby was gonna have a baby this year?

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks. I don't know. It's been a long time.

[Amy Brown]

We, you know, had a reading from her for the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I feel like listeners now just invent things that she said right when they hear something is coming up. Yeah. Like, I hurt my foot. Didn't Amy, psychic cousin say you were gonna have surgery on your left ankle?

[Amy Brown]

She definitely did say Lunchbox was not gonna get a new car. And he hasn't.

[Producer Eddie]

Oh, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

No, but that's different. He cannot get one to prove her right.

[Producer Eddie]

Why would he do that, though?

[Bobby Bones]

But that's different. But if she says something that he's not going to do any psychic. You cannot do it to prove the psychic. It doesn't matter.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

We haven't had Amy's cousin anti her, so he's like, unless they've worked out a deal.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, side deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby bone show bonehead. Story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from. From Wisconsin. Back in February, the government was thinking about banning TikTok. Well, this one 20 year old was like, I cannot live without TikTok. And his local congressman voted to ban TikTok. So he went in the middle of the night and burned down his office.

[Amy Brown]

Whoa, what, like now?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think back then.

[Lunchbox]

Back then, he just. He just pleaded guilty. He pled not guilty. And he was like, you know what? Actually, I did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy was more blown away at how late he was than him actually burning down the office.

[Amy Brown]

I was just like, okay. Okay. Well, he took time to think about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Still decided to do it.

[Amy Brown]

Still mad so I could. I was respecting the patients.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So I'm Assuming you go to jail for a long time for that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he is facing up to 40 years in prison.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang, they never ban Tik Tok. It's never going to be banned.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but he voted for it, so.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not justification.

[Producer Eddie]

So he took the vote out by.

[Bobby Bones]

Burning the house, his office.

[Producer Eddie]

Not even the office.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

So we got a call and the guy was all upset because Amy didn't remember Kyler's name. Who keeps track of every game we play all year. Hit that.

[Caller/Listener]

Amy, refer to that guy that keeps.

[Bobby Bones]

Track of the games. His name is Kyler.

[Caller/Listener]

Just please remember his name.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, he spent so much time.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably keeping track of all that stuff.

[Caller/Listener]

Just remember his name.

[Bobby Bones]

So we thought that was Kyler calling in as somebody else being upset that Amy didn't know Kyler's name. Then we get this call, Tyler from Ozark. I'm listening to Tuesday's post show talking about me.

[Caller/Listener]

And then you guys double checked and.

[Bobby Bones]

They'Re like, oh yeah, that was Tyler.

[Caller/Listener]

I just wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

That was not me.

[Caller/Listener]

My voice doesn't sound like that. Go back, listen to it.

[Bobby Bones]

I would never call and refer to myself as a third person.

[Producer Eddie]

That's.

[Caller/Listener]

That's weird. See ya.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so now we know that was not Kyler. We fact checked incorrectly and Kyler, we apologize. That's it for the show. We will see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
