All right, we're gonna start with a pretty cool guest. Here we go on the Bobby Bone Show. Now, Jackson Dean, give me a quick story about don't come looking. It can be like the first time you played it, the first time you played when everybody sang back, like, this is, you know, first number one for you. Give me something about this song. Absolutely. First time I ever really heard him sing it back. And it wasn't just this one that they sang back. It was, you know, trailer park, fearless, don't take much wings. All my stuff. I was in Spokane and this little. It was like a 600 person shack and it looked like it was like a 200 person shack on the outside. Maybe one of the hottest shows I ever played in my life. Like walked off stage and projectile vomited after the show. Yeah. And it was. It was me and Brandon, you know, Brandon, my guitar player. It was me and him. And it was awesome, man. They, they. I'll never forget. I was standing there, guns and roses, cut off T shirt and try. I couldn't take. I wanted to strip so bad. But. But yeah, we were all right on the edge of Spokane, the Nashville north out there. And they sang every word and. But yeah, man, it was. We've had a lot of great times to that song. And you know, you just go up to the mic and if I don't come back and you drop and then they take it. Take it. That's awesome. Makes you. You want to run through a brick wall. Go on the Bobby Bone Show. Now, Jackson Dean, heavens to Betsy. What do you want our listeners know about this song? That song is a lot coming at you. It's one of my favorite written songs that I've done. We went so hard on the musical part of it because it's all that the man died with. It's all unspoken love and everything that he never got to say and that I'm proud of. And I just hope everybody that hears it loves it. And yeah, buddy. Jackson, dude, you're awesome. You know, I've been saying it to you for A long time. But I appreciate the time coming on and hope you have fun on those European dates, man. See you soon. Thanks, brother. I'll see you soon. Merry Christmas. See you, Jackson. Anonymous S box. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mailman. Hello, Bobby Bones. My fiance is planning our wedding. We both seem to be leaning towards making it an adults only wedding. I know there are only some friends that will have issue with this, but it will be an issue. And seriously, no kid wants to go to a wedding. And we don't want to deal with the drama that can come with bored or loud kids. Obviously, we get the final say, but I'm curious what negativity can come from friends and family when you tell them the kids have to stay home. Signed, adults only. Annie. I did have a childless wedding. Child free wedding, however you want to say. That wasn't dramatic at all because I think people just know and understand me that when I say something, it's not hurtful or not hurtful. It is just a way that we have decided to go and that's the way it is. I'm different because I'm not a people pleaser. It sounds like you are a bit emailer and so we're gonna work with that. You are a people pleaser. So I'm gonna go to my people pleasing friend. Amy. How would you handle this?
- [06:24]
Amy
I'm working on it. I'm not a bad thing. Yeah. I just think that you have to do what's best for you and that's what I would encourage you to do. And people understand.
- [06:33]
Bobby Bones
How did they say it, though? Because you have a heart. You have a heart.
- [06:35]
Amy
I think that if there's someone that has kids in your life and you really care about them, there are exceptions to the rule that you could include their kids and that's okay. Like my daughter was at your wedding.
- [06:46]
Bobby Bones
Oh, only if they're in the wedding.
- [06:47]
Amy
That's true. So you might have, you know, ring bearers, flower girls, stuff like that, where they could be in the wedding. If not, then you just say, hey, I know this is difficult and maybe if they're traveling or you have to make arrangements or you have to get a sitter, but ultimately we decided this is what's going to be best for us and I hope you can still make it.
- [07:03]
Bobby Bones
No, Jonathan has to come with us. Oh, see, she's pleasing already.
- [07:12]
Amy
I would just be like, okay, well, sorry, we're not doing kids, so I. If you can't make it, I totally understand that.
- [07:18]
Bobby Bones
One of the hardest things in life is creating and holding boundaries.
- [07:22]
Amy
And that was me holding it right there.
- [07:23]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we had to work with you to get there.
- [07:25]
Amy
Yeah.
- [07:25]
Bobby Bones
But that's okay.
- [07:25]
Amy
I got there.
- [07:26]
Bobby Bones
You did get there. Just in general, it's hard to create boundaries because they're uncomfortable. To create a boundaries because something is uncomfortable or can be uncomfortable. So you create a boundary, you stand by it. They don't have to like it. They do have to respect it. And just say, we have found that it's going to be easier for all involved if there are no kids. We've decided no kids, so we're not getting any kids. I'm really sorry.
- [07:44]
Amy
That's it.
- [07:45]
Bobby Bones
The end.
- [07:46]
Amy
I hope you can figure it out.
- [07:47]
Bobby Bones
And then say, that's what you get for having kids. Like end with that. It's your fault. Like throw a little jet child free. Weddings aren't normal, but they happen. So it's going to be met with an abnormal response of probably people not being happy about it.
- [07:55]
Amy
But look at it as a night out.
- [07:57]
Bobby Bones
And also, you have so much money. You only have so much money to spend. You can use that too. We only have so much money to spend on the wedding and if kids are coming, we don't have. We can't pay for all that food. So we've decided to invite more adults that we couldn't get in and no kids will be there. Yeah.
- [08:09]
Amy
I really feel for local people. It's not going to be that big of a deal. It's the out of towners and the.
- [08:13]
Bobby Bones
Kids that really wanted to go. Oh, yeah, fourth graders everywhere.
- [08:17]
Amy
They love wedding day.
- [08:19]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Good luck. Set the boundary. Boundaries are hard, but they're hard because they're worth it. They're healthy. And you know what? It's not fun to eat healthy food, but you know what's good for you? Healthy food. Boundaries are healthy. Create your one. A voicemail from Brandy.
- [08:32]
Amy
This message is for Amy.
- [08:34]
Bobby Bones
I want to thank you so much for advertising about the craft body scan. My husband and I got it done in October. They ended up finding a lump in my breast. So now because of the craft body scan, they were able to find that.
- [08:47]
Amy
I had breast cancer.
- [08:48]
Bobby Bones
I just love Yalls show. I listen every morning. Thank you again, Amy.
- [08:53]
Amy
Oh, my gosh. Wow. That's amazing.
- [08:55]
Bobby Bones
Can you tell me what that is again?
- [08:56]
Amy
Well, so you can go in and you get a full body scan and it'll show results at craft body Scan. It's a place I've gone and done.
- [09:04]
Bobby Bones
It myself in every, like major City. Mid City.
- [09:07]
Amy
Yeah, there's. There's a few different cities. I do it here in Nashville, but they're in other markets as well. And you may not have any symptoms at all whatsoever. That's the crazy part. And then something will show up on the scan, and then they can look further into it. Thankfully, all my scan showed was. Well, I had some cysts on an ovary, but my doctor said they were fine. And then I have some pending kidney stones, but nothing's passed, so we're good.
- [09:32]
Bobby Bones
I wonder if it's easier for a kidney stone to come out of a woman than a man, because it's. The hole's bigger.
- [09:37]
Amy
Oh, I don't know.
- [09:38]
Bobby Bones
Good call. Well, if a kidney stone's gonna come out of you, it's gonna come out of your pee pee hole. And it's very, very painful. Sometimes I'll use a laser and bust it up again, but the holes is different. Should I explain that? You off the air, huh? Okay. Yeah.
- [09:50]
Amy
Cuz I don't understand.
- [09:50]
Bobby Bones
Woman hole, big man hole. Woman holes bigger than the man. Okay. How do you think a baby comes out? You think a baby come out of your pee hole? That's a different hole.
- [09:56]
Amy
He's thinking of a different hole. He thinks kidney stones come out of a different hole.
- [09:59]
Bobby Bones
Out of the pee hole.
- [10:00]
Amy
Yes.
- [10:01]
Bobby Bones
What do you think? A woman.
- [10:02]
Amy
I don't.
- [10:03]
Bobby Bones
No, no, Bones. No, no. We need to talk about this off air because you are.
- [10:06]
Amy
You are very wrong.
- [10:09]
Bobby Bones
But in the end, though, it's got to come out. Woman pees out of the big hole.
- [10:13]
Amy
And guys.
- [10:14]
Bobby Bones
But eventually it does.
- [10:15]
Amy
We're gonna all talk about this at the end.
- [10:17]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We need a big meeting after the show. Yeah. Yeah. But I guess my point is that big hole, though. I feel like that. Because the big hole. You're crazy. It says no. Generally speaking, passing a kidney stone is not considered easier for women than men. I would have thought so. I thought all your bodies were like Stretch Armstrong through the history of time, more so than men's. Because we've never had to pass anything. True.
- [10:39]
Amy
Right.
- [10:40]
Bobby Bones
I understand the different holes. We do pass something big sometimes the back.
- [10:46]
Amy
Okay.
- [10:47]
Bobby Bones
No, we need a hole. We need a conference on this. You know what? We need a whole hole. I thought that women's bodies were a bit more elastic because of. Through time. You guys have had to. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I need to learn about that.
- [11:00]
Amy
Yes, Maybe. Maybe. Yeah. I still think, like.
- [11:04]
Bobby Bones
Because I don't think it comes out of the baby hole, like in the same Exact. Like. It's like.
- [11:07]
Amy
But even that's super painful.
- [11:09]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but it'd be. Listen, if it was out of the baby hole, that'd be much easier than an RP hole. I would just think RP hole is so small. You ever seen one, Mobby? Okay. Okay.
- [11:21]
Amy
All right. So. Yes. What do we have coming up in the pile?
- [11:24]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, whatever.
- [11:25]
Amy
Okay, well, we'll talk about partner envy. Speaking of men and women and our.
- [11:28]
Bobby Bones
Differences, I thought I envied women from being able to pass the kidney stone. Better.
- [11:31]
Amy
Go ahead and I'll tell you what that is. And then a major reason why you're going to want to lift weights and eat some protein today.
- [11:37]
Bobby Bones
All right, thank you very much. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
- [11:42]
Amy
All right, let's talk about partner envy, because a new study just came out saying that men and women are jealous of each other when it comes to certain things.
- [11:51]
Bobby Bones
So it's specifically what they can do as a woman.
- [11:53]
Amy
Yeah. Or that you get to do as a man. Like, women are jealous that y'all have all these social advantages, or at least perceived social advantages.
- [12:02]
Bobby Bones
There are, sadly, that they're still enough. Yes.
- [12:05]
Amy
So we envy that.
- [12:06]
Bobby Bones
Probably peace standing up. If that's not on the list. Oh, that's cool, because that's. It's awesome. I wish you women knew how awesome it was. One to pee standing up, pee anywhere. It's pretty. It's pretty cool.
- [12:13]
Amy
Yeah, no, I. We're done. I'm jealous of that.
- [12:15]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You would trade a pinky for it. I'm telling you, it's that awesome.
- [12:18]
Amy
Let's see. How do I put this one? I guess you're, you know, biological freedoms.
- [12:22]
Bobby Bones
I know what that means. Oh, like hook up with anybody.
- [12:25]
Amy
I get, like, y'all don't. Y'all are not fine.
- [12:27]
Bobby Bones
But nobody would ever hook up with me, so I don't. I didn't have that freedom.
- [12:30]
Amy
Yeah, like, women have to carry the baby at times, which, you know, I.
- [12:36]
Bobby Bones
Would say for me, that's what guys should be jealous of. Not having to carry the baby. Well. Oh, I'm kind of happy about it. I'm glad I don't have to do that. Oh. Oh, no, I'm not happy about it. They get to bond with it and we don't.
- [12:45]
Amy
Well, that is one of the things that y'all envy. It doesn't say here specifically about carrying the baby, but it just says motherhood.
- [12:51]
Bobby Bones
Because that can never be put back on you. Like, okay, well, then prove it. So there's no no, we're live. We can't beep it out.
- [12:57]
Amy
And apparently y'all are jealous of women's physical attractiveness. That could fall in there.
- [13:04]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [13:04]
Amy
And then our traditional roles, like, for some men, if y'all want to stay home, you may get.
- [13:10]
Bobby Bones
I mean, a trad wife. We don't want to be trad wife. You may get.
- [13:12]
Amy
I know, but here's the thing. Some men do stay home and they raise the kids and they do other things and the wife works, and then they get shamed for it and they shouldn't.
- [13:21]
Bobby Bones
I feel that. I don't know any husbands, though, that are like, can't wait to be a trad wife. None.
- [13:25]
Amy
And I don't think they say it that way, but.
- [13:27]
Bobby Bones
But I think there's a lot to being, by the way, a traditional wife. But none of my guy friends that have one want to be that. It's that they've kind of established together. That would be. Yeah, I don't really want it. I don't. That's a. I can't cook. I told them guys, the kids just can't cook. You can always order out. I can't be a trad husband. I was like, maybe be a trad husband. I just can't do it.
- [13:49]
Amy
Yeah, no, you can't.
- [13:49]
Bobby Bones
Okay, that's it.
- [13:50]
Amy
New research says that if you want to keep your brain sharp, eat protein and lift weights, you got to keep muscle on. They found that older adults, like, as they started to age, it was muscle that indicated whether or not they were going to get dementia or not.
- [14:06]
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's interesting.
- [14:07]
Amy
You know, muscle mass.
- [14:08]
Bobby Bones
I was watching a lot of the footage from when Mike Tyson was fighting Jake Paul, and they would do this thing, and I've seen it before, but never really knew why. They put this thing on their head and they. On their neck and they lift weights. They push their head back and forth with heavy weights. Right. And I was like, I wonder why that is. I know it makes your head, neck stronger, whatever, but they get punched in the neck so much. Oh, like, not on purpose. No one takes a neck, but they get punched in the neck so much that. That's why they do that. Well, you don't think about that. I never once thought about that. So I've been doing every day I have one of those at the house, just in case you get punched in the neck. Well, now I'm also doing brain. I thought maybe that'd help your brain, too. Go ahead.
- [14:41]
Amy
Yeah. Well, if you need a reason to lift some weights and Eat some protein today while avoiding dementia. That'll give you enough of a reason. Which speaking of protein, I saw that Grubhub did the whole, you know, what did we order the most of this year for 2024 when it comes to takeout and protein top the list. Like, we're very into chicken also.
- [14:58]
Bobby Bones
Chicken.
- [14:59]
Amy
Chicken, cottage cheese, espresso. And get this little fun fact cottage cheese cheese is having.
- [15:05]
Bobby Bones
What retirement home are they going into to get this data? Like is. Cottage is fine. And every once in a while but like as one of the top three.
- [15:11]
Amy
Well, I think a lot of people are ordering it because they're making like all these things with cottage cheese, like pancakes and protein this and protein that.
- [15:19]
Bobby Bones
It, you know, whatever happened to like just Chipotle? Like that's what, you know, that's number one probably.
- [15:24]
Amy
Well, espresso, this is the interesting thing about that. That was a top thing ordered. And in June of this year, when Sabrina Carpenter's song Espresso was at the top of the charts, they saw a spike in how much espresso was being ordered. Isn't that crazy? We were all being influenced.
- [15:39]
Bobby Bones
I wasn't, I wasn't. I don't feel like it's that crazy. I do feel like if we're. If it's. Yeah, yeah, I'll accept that answer. Mostly because I don't have an opinion. I don't care.
- [15:46]
Amy
Yeah. And then the most popular type of cuisine, Mexican.
- [15:50]
Bobby Bones
Hey, it's not that. What do you mean, man? Hey, I saw a guy on Tick Tock because I love Chipotle, one of my favorite places because I can eat healthy there and I can eat healthy in 100 different ways and never be boring. And the guy was going, I ate chipotle 500 times last year because his. He got his grubhub or his ubereats and it wasn't a Chipotle ad because his like business manager had called him because he's some sort of. He works in the fitness world. And he was like, that can't be right. And then he went lunch and dinner five days a week. Oh, I ate chipotle 500 times. Wow, that's a lot. And he feels like, I feel you can eat Chipotle all the time and it never really be the same thing twice. And it'd be good. By the way, Chipotle doesn't pay me. I wish they would. I don't even get gift cards. But Chipotle's a plus. And you can do healthy and you can also do not Healthy if you want. Yeah. But yeah, Chipotle's awesome.
- [16:41]
Amy
All right, maybe that's my pile.
- [16:43]
Bobby Bones
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good. The Detroit Goodfellows are back continuing their 100 year tradition called no Kitty Without a Christmas. And so they're going to be giving out boxes, 26,000 boxes to kids. So they have presents for Christmas. I remember growing up, I still remember it vividly because it made such a big deal. It was a big deal for everybody. The church groups would come and bring us gifts because they knew we weren't getting presents and the gifts were terrible, but that didn't matter. I remember once I got a paint by numbers duck picture and I was like, this is the worst and most awesome thing ever. I was like nine. And we have any money, so we weren't getting any Christmas gifts. If so, it'd be very little, like socks or, you know, something. But they brought me a duck painting by numbers. I had the most fun doing the stupidest thing ever. It was very special to me. And so when I hear stories like that, it makes me feel good. So good for them. Whoever organized that and those guys that volunteer. That is a plus stuff right there. Good job. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. The show is sponsored by BetterHelp. What's your favorite part of the holidays? Is it getting all the family together? Is it the food?

Is there any chance. Because I've had, like a stomach bug for like two weeks, is there any chance I could have got it from my dog or my dog could have got it from me? Honest question.
- [21:42]
Amy
Probably not. Very, very unlikely.
- [21:44]
Bobby Bones
I didn't think so either because there's a lot of little neuroviruses going around.
- [21:48]
Amy
You know Stanley has been having diarrhea.
- [21:50]
Bobby Bones
I know, but that's my fault.
- [21:51]
Amy
That is your fault.
- [21:52]
Bobby Bones
Did you hear why it was my fault?
- [21:53]
Amy
Tell me.
- [21:54]
Bobby Bones
Okay, here's the thing. I've been training those dogs at night to go to their exact place to sleep. Stanley has no problem. Stanley, for the listeners, is a bulldog who's like five years old. He does not need accompaniment. Or every once in a while you think he wants love, but he just wants food. Like, he's a solo dog. He's fine being by himself. I love him, but he does not. Eller, the dog that is like five different breeds and we got her off the street, she very much needs people around her all the time. So we're trying to train them. At night, when I go, okay, bed to go both to their respective beds and just stop and go to bed. And I've been doing that with treats. So treat enforcement. Is that how you say? And so Stanley does. He doesn't need treats. He's just like, okay, just goes and lays in the bed. Ellar, not the same, Struggled for a long time, but now she does. But I would give him the little treats for, like, if you do a good job, little ones, as you would know, because you're our vet, Stanley can't eat just anything.
- [22:48]
Amy
He cannot.
- [22:49]
Bobby Bones
So for like four or five days, I was giving these tiny treats, and I think that's what caused him to explode.
- [22:52]
Amy
I think so. Because he was having diarrhea. You went out of town, he was getting a little bit better, and then you came and the diarrhea got worse.
- [22:59]
Bobby Bones
There's no need.
- [23:00]
Amy
Being the Sherlock Holmes that I am, I had to realize that maybe it's.
- [23:05]
Bobby Bones
Something Bobby's doing and loving him. Yes. If loving my dog gives him diarrhea, then okay, then so be it. So a human, for the most part, can't get a virus from a dog.
- [23:15]
Amy
There are some diseases, some bacteria and viruses, but the average flu or norovirus no.
- [23:20]
Bobby Bones
Okay, so then what's wrong with me?
- [23:23]
Amy
Hard to say exactly. Quite a bit.
- [23:25]
Bobby Bones
Go to my therapist. Quite a bit. Okay, so I asked our listeners, I said, what do want to know? Because this is free questions, free consultation, and I have a lot here. Okay, number one, how do I keep my dog's ears clean? It's a constant chore.
- [23:40]
Amy
We should be doing routine ear cleanings every single week. The owner, you should get an ear cleaner from your vet. Do not buy any ear cleaner off the shelf. They are not all made the same. And then you honestly just pour that solution into their ear canal so that it pools in there, let them shake it out, wipe up the excess with a cotton ball, and voila.
- [24:01]
Bobby Bones
It's just a pour in.
- [24:02]
Amy
Pour it on in.
- [24:03]
Bobby Bones
So Josie has told me that I should be brushing my dog's teeth. I've never once in my life brushed my dog's teeth. And I've had dogs my whole life. And you think, and you say that we should brush our dog's teeth. But now my dog's teeth, they've gotten so bad, we have to, like, put them under to get their teeth cleaned.
- [24:17]
Amy
Yes.
- [24:18]
Bobby Bones
You do understand it's hard to brush a dog's teeth, right?
- [24:20]
Amy
I do understand. It's better when they're puppies. Like, if you can desensitize them and get them used to it, great. That makes life a lot easier for you. I realize not every dog, and certainly many cats don't like their teeth brushed. Wait, a cat? We're supposed to brush our cat's teeth too?
- [24:33]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, right, With a real toothbrush or is it like a special toothbrush?
- [24:36]
Amy
They have little tiny cat toothbrushes. They're very cute.
- [24:39]
Bobby Bones
What about the things that we buy them that says toothbrush, but it's like a thing they chew on. Does that not count?
- [24:43]
Amy
The greenies, they're okay. They're not going to do the same thing as brushing. They're better than nothing, but not the same as brushing.
- [24:49]
Bobby Bones
So how often, realistically, should someone make sure their dog's teeth are cleaned?
- [24:54]
Amy
As a veterinarian, I should tell you every single day. Realistically, I do it probably once a week.
- [24:58]
Bobby Bones
Every day. Lunchbox doesn't do every day. Correct. I didn't do it today. Got it.
- [25:03]
Amy
I was wondering what was smelling.
- [25:04]
Bobby Bones
Got it. Okay, how about this? What can I do for a dog that has chronic ear infections? This is also something that happens with Stanley. So how do we fix that?
- [25:13]
Amy
There's a variety of reasons why they can have chronic ear Infections. I recommend you go to your veterinarian. A lot of times it can mean they have an underlying allergy. So it can be a food allergy, it can be an environmental allergy, and your vet can help you treat that underlying issue. So they don't get recurrent ear infections.
- [25:27]
Bobby Bones
So it could be an. Literally is an allergy. Like we would have an allergy and something would be affecting us.
- [25:31]
Amy
Correct. Stanley has a food allergy. And so if he eats treats that he shouldn't, not only does he get diarrhea, he gets ear infections.
- [25:39]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Stanley has a food allergy. He wants to eat all the food. That's not an allergy. He wants to eat all the food all the time. Are water additives for your pet's teeth a good alternative to brushing?
- [25:50]
Amy
They are not an alternative. They are not the same as brushing. Brushing is always better. But if you cannot brush and you want to supplement with additives, it's. It's. It's okay.
- [25:59]
Bobby Bones
Dr. Josie is here. Another question. I was bitten by a stray dog on my walk this evening. Minor puncture. Should I be worried?
- [26:06]
Amy
I recommend you probably go to urgent care. Yes. You should be seen by a human doctor. Dog bites and cat bites get infected and they can get really bad.
- [26:17]
Bobby Bones
So you're saying they shouldn't go to the vet? They show up at the vet having bit. What do I do?
- [26:22]
Amy
Please don't.
- [26:23]
Bobby Bones
Okay. Dr. Joseph is here. More questions with her in just a second. You can follow her. Dr. Josie, vet. And then also it's season two has just started up in the vet's office. We'll come back in just one second. Here we go on the Bobby bones show. Now, Dr. Josie questions from our listeners. How to help with my cat that has anxiety.
- [26:40]
Amy
I would say there's all different kinds of enrichment you can do. There's something called Feelaway, which is almost like a glade plugin that we plug into our walls. But it releases pheromones, relaxing pheromones for cats. You can get it on Amazon.
- [26:52]
Bobby Bones
The glade that you plug into the.
- [26:54]
Amy
Wall, it looks like that. Oh, and it really wants for me. Does it do anything to our pheromones? I wish. No, it doesn't. But it's really amazing. Like, if we have a cat at the vet that is really stressed and then I spray feel away on myself, they like, love me. What about Meow Iwana? Oh, Meow Iwana. Like catnip? Yeah, yeah, sure. Catnip's great. Oh, it's a good enrichment. No, no.
- [27:16]
Bobby Bones
Did she do meow.
- [27:17]
Amy
I wanna sell. They sell meowy. Wana go for it.
- [27:22]
Bobby Bones
Foods that if your dog accidentally eats that you should get them into somewhere, even if it's like an emergency. Vet quick. Is chocolate still one?
- [27:29]
Amy
Yes. Chocolate one especially dark chocolate is worse than milk chocolate.
- [27:33]
Bobby Bones
How much, though? If it's like a little pebble on the ground?
- [27:35]
Amy
Yeah, it depends on the size of the dog. Like if Stanley ate a tiny little pebble of chocolate, he's going to be okay.
- [27:39]
Bobby Bones
Okay.
- [27:40]
Amy
And then raisins. Grapes.
- [27:43]
Bobby Bones
Why grapes? Because that happened to us once.
- [27:44]
Amy
That's a great question. We don't know 100% why you can have a dog that eats one grape and goes into full throttle kidney failure. And you can have another dog that eats a bush bushel of grapes and they're totally fine. So it affects their kidneys. We're not entirely sure exactly why.
- [27:58]
Bobby Bones
Grapes, man. That's crazy. How many times? This is from Shandalou. Should you feed your dog once a day, twice a day, or three times a day? Like we eat?
- [28:07]
Amy
I like to feed them twice a day. I think three times a day is kind of a recipe for disaster. The more it's going in one end, it's coming out the other. So you gotta take them out a lot. Once a day, I just don't think is enough. So twice.
- [28:20]
Bobby Bones
I'd like to compliment my dog Stanley for losing weight. Big deal.
- [28:23]
Amy
I will also compliment Aiden.
- [28:25]
Bobby Bones
Stanley, please tell the story. I will tell none of the story. You go ahead.
- [28:27]
Amy
Stanley was a bowling ball. And I said, well, I was talking to Caitlin. I was like, listen, we gotta get him some pounds off this guy. And she was like, it's all Bobby. It's all Bobby.
- [28:37]
Bobby Bones
We didn't. Stop blaming me for everything. Go ahead.
- [28:39]
Amy
And so anyways, then I came back a few months later and he is looking very svelte. He's like a little supermodel bulldog.
- [28:46]
Bobby Bones
Hips, waist, he's got it all.
- [28:48]
Amy
He looks amazing.
- [28:49]
Bobby Bones
They gave me the goal of I think five pounds. I think he had lost like almost six. And I was like, let's go. You did good, buddy. And then my wife's like, he didn't do anything. You just fed him less. And I was like, whatever. I saw. What? He still lost the weight. What's the most common dog name? Like, so many people are naming their dogs and are there like human names where every few years it's a different name?
- [29:08]
Amy
Yeah, yeah, I guess there's cycles here in Nashville. We have a lot of Nashes. We have a Lot of Lolas. Lulu's like, I'm trying to think what other boy dog names?
- [29:19]
Bobby Bones
Like the old school dog name? Spot.
- [29:21]
Amy
Like, yeah, no Spot.
- [29:23]
Bobby Bones
Little Rascals. Spots.
- [29:24]
Amy
Out.
- [29:24]
Bobby Bones
No Spot.
- [29:25]
Amy
Scruffy. Those are kind of out. We're getting some really like quite clever names now.
- [29:29]
Bobby Bones
So are some of the names a little like you're like, I can't believe you named your dog this. That's stupid.
- [29:34]
Amy
Yeah, sometimes.
- [29:35]
Bobby Bones
Probably don't want to say that because they're probably a client.
- [29:37]
Amy
Oh, yeah, don't say the name.
- [29:40]
Bobby Bones
What's the most rewarding part of your job?
- [29:42]
Amy
Ooh, the most rewarding part is I feel like I make an impact in people's lives. People really love their animals and being able to make sure their pets are healthy and save their pets lives directly impacts the humans lives that I work with. So I love that part.
- [30:00]
Bobby Bones
What's the hardest part about it? What's the most grueling part of it?
- [30:04]
Amy
The most grueling part of the job? I think one aspect is there's a big misconception that veterinarians are in it for the money. You go to the vet, you will and spend up, end up spending a lot of money. But the reality is that we are doing the exact amount of training as a human doctor and we make a fraction of what they make and we're in just as much debt as they are. And so, you know, you hear people say, oh, it's a scam. The vet charges so much money. But you know, medicine costs a lot and sadly we have to charge. Otherwise we would do it all for free, I promise, if we could.
- [30:37]
Bobby Bones
Which she does a lot for me for free, by the way. I just call her, hey, do you have a bunch of friends that just call you and then what? And maybe I shouldn't say friends slightly more than acquaintances, but not friends that you that go, oh, I'll just call Josie and get free vet advice. When? Probably maybe once, but not all the time.
- [30:52]
Amy
Yes, I will get a Facebook message, a DM every single day.
- [30:56]
Bobby Bones
That would be kind of annoying. Everybody wants to use you for that.
- [30:59]
Amy
Not from the same person every single day. No, no, just random people.
- [31:01]
Bobby Bones
That person, no more animals for them. If that's the case, they should not get any more animals. Dr. Josie is here in the vet's office. Season two is out right now. We'll come back with Dr. Josie in a second. Follow her at Dr. Josievett on Instagram and we'll do a little more after this. Here we go on the Bobby bones show now. Dr. Josie, how far are we from actually being able to communicate with our animals better than now? Like some sort of system? Like, you know, like.
- [31:26]
Amy
Like buttons, something?
- [31:27]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I do. Oh, that's a great question. Those dogs on TikTok, they hit a button, they go hungry. Video game, give Eddie a raise. You know all those buttons. You ever see those pads where they're really like, I want to go outside. Are those real?
- [31:40]
Amy
I mean, yes, they're real. The animals are pressing on them, but I don't think the dogs know, like, ooh, I'm hungry. I'm gonna press this. But no.
- [31:47]
Bobby Bones
Dang. So you think they just wait for the right thing to happen and they just only record that and post that?
- [31:51]
Amy
They just. Yes, A. And then B, they know, like, okay, this button is this color, and when I press it, I get a treat. Do they know the color or maybe. Or is it the order? It could be colors. It could be orders. Any. Any sort of routine like that.
- [32:03]
Bobby Bones
What should we look for if we're looking for a new vet or if you move and you gotta find a vet, like, what's. What makes a good vet in your mind? If you were looking for a vet?
- [32:11]
Amy
That's a great question. I would say I think it's fair to go in and do a meet and greet just to establish care. Like, you want to meet that person, you want to feel comfortable with them. If you want, you can take a tour of the treatment area. So don't be afraid to say, hey, I just want to make sure that this is a good fit for both of us. So I think that would be the best way to do it.
- [32:30]
Bobby Bones
What's the biggest animal that's ever been brought in?
- [32:33]
Amy
I, in vet school, did a dental on a tiger.
- [32:36]
Bobby Bones
Wow. A real tiger?
- [32:38]
Amy
A real tiger. From, like a zoo? From the zoo. I. Well, when I say I wasn't, I did it. I was a fourth year student, but I gotta help scale tartar off its big canine tooth.
- [32:48]
Bobby Bones
Wow. So I'm assuming it was out and not just chilling.
- [32:50]
Amy
It was. My head was, like, in its mouth. I was like, dear God, let this anesthesia work.
- [32:55]
Bobby Bones
What was that like?
- [32:56]
Amy
It was amazing. Really amazing.
- [32:58]
Bobby Bones
Like, the head had to be so heavy, huge. Like, I have a huge head. Like, fizz. I mean, both. But physically, I have a huge head. I've had one my whole life. When I was a kid, my mom had to cut slits on my shirt to get my head through them. And so. But that's nothing compared. I'm assuming it's not the same, right. As a tiger. Much bigger.
- [33:12]
Amy
No, much bigger.
- [33:13]
Bobby Bones
Dang. That's so cool.
- [33:14]
Amy
Yeah.
- [33:15]
Bobby Bones
How big were the paws? Like, so big.
- [33:17]
Amy
Massive.
- [33:18]
Bobby Bones
What about the smallest animal you've ever worked on? I had.
- [33:22]
Amy
Someone asked me to work on their sugar glider bat. It's like a little monkey bat type thing. I don't know how to work on sugar gliders. I had to get on YouTube, to be totally honest. It had a little upper respiratory infection, but we got it taken care of.
- [33:36]
Bobby Bones
Has anyone ever brought anything in that's actually not an animal?
- [33:39]
Amy
No. People bring their children a lot for you. Not for me, but they'll just, like, they want to wear the stethoscope. They want to be involved in the. In the process.
- [33:48]
Bobby Bones
Like a snake.
- [33:49]
Amy
Oh, well, that's in Hannibal.
- [33:50]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I'm saying, like, a snake would be a weird one.
- [33:53]
Amy
But I'm saying, like, not a mammal.
- [33:54]
Bobby Bones
A grasshopper, or, like, you know, things that we haven't talked about. Because grasshopper wouldn't count. But let's see. What.
- [34:01]
Amy
Oh, like, my sister has spiders. Bearded.
- [34:03]
Bobby Bones
Good, Good one. Good.
- [34:05]
Amy
A bearded dragon. And it got sick.
- [34:06]
Bobby Bones
So that'd be a weird animal, but an animal, right?
- [34:08]
Amy
Yes, yes. So those are primarily going to be seen by vets that do exotics. Okay. Which is not me. I tend to do fluffy, fluffy things. So reptiles and birds really need to go to a vet that does exotics.
- [34:22]
Bobby Bones
Anybody brought a spider in, Like a big tarantula?
- [34:24]
Amy
Not to me, but they do bring them in.
- [34:26]
Bobby Bones
But that's not a thing. You can't do something to a spider.
- [34:28]
Amy
Yeah, yeah, you can. Oh, yeah. There's medicine. We have medicine for fish where we can anesthetize the fish and do surgery on them in the water.
- [34:36]
Bobby Bones
On a fish?
- [34:37]
Amy
Yes.
- [34:37]
Bobby Bones
That's amazing. If I had, like, an injury and the zombie apocalypse was happening, you could do surgery on me, right?
- [34:43]
Amy
I could.
- [34:43]
Bobby Bones
It would just be just a bigger version of what you've done. Yeah, that'd be awesome.
- [34:47]
Amy
I am capable.
- [34:48]
Bobby Bones
And she lives close.
- [34:49]
Amy
Boom.
- [34:50]
Bobby Bones
So she'd be in the. We've all we debate here if, like, the world ended, how we get to whose house is we gonna be at? Like, you don't think I'm grabbing Josie and her husband? You're out of your mind. And we're all going to your house. Not all of you are. We only got so much room and so much food.
- [35:01]
Amy
Okay.
- [35:02]
Bobby Bones
And so.
- [35:02]
Amy
Oh, well, good for you. I'm working on my gardening. That's why. So that I'll get picked to be.
- [35:07]
Bobby Bones
On somebody's team, that's literally Wyoming's trying to keep gardening. So if the world does end, she has a skill.
- [35:12]
Amy
Yes, well, a skill that would be useful in the end times. I have skills, but we'd be honored to take you. Thank you.
- [35:19]
Bobby Bones
I saw you had. I'm gonna play a clip here. This is from Dr. Josie's podcast. She had on Dr. Amy Addis, who treated Cher's dog, which has got to be weird if celebrities come in. Oh, yeah, Ray, hit that clip.
- [35:28]
Amy
Income.
- [35:28]
Bobby Bones
Cher yelling, what did you do to my dog?
- [35:32]
Amy
And Cher had her hair and rollers, white face cream on, and she was wearing a bathrobe. I explained what was wrong with her.
- [35:40]
Bobby Bones
Dog and that it was giving the second injection. And, you know, at this point, you.
- [35:44]
Amy
Shouldn'T be contagious any longer.
- [35:46]
Bobby Bones
She said, contagious? Nobod told me contagious.
- [35:48]
Amy
And then she flipped open her bathrobe, and she was there in her total.
- [35:52]
Bobby Bones
Body nakedness to ask me if the rash that she had on her belly was the same thing that the dog had.
- [35:58]
Amy
And then she thought about it for.
- [35:59]
Bobby Bones
A second, and she said, no. I think I had this before. I got the dog closed up and left. It's crazy because it's a share question, and then she's naked. But I asked the same question. Like, I got sick, dog got sick. Is that the same thing? But I'm not sure, but that's a pretty crazy one.
- [36:14]
Amy
Yeah. You see, her dog had mange, and that is contagious to humans. And she had a rash on her and thought she might have mange. I actually see a lot of cats that get ringworm, and on cats, it's kind of hard to diagnose, But I'll see on the human, they'll have, like, a big ringworm lesion on their hands or their arms, and I'll be like, ooh, from the. From the cat.
- [36:33]
Bobby Bones
Will you ever. If they don't ask but you see it. Let's say I walk in and I'm like, here's my cat Fluffy, and she's got a ringworm. And I don't say anything about mine, but I have one on my arm. Will you go. And you have that on you, sir?
- [36:43]
Amy
I will say that looks very suspicious. You should probably go to your doctor. And I'm, yeah, you probably have ringworm.
- [36:51]
Bobby Bones
Dr. Josie went to Mexico, brought a dog back home with her, and she has a. She's a vet, so she can do that. How's that dog? Awesome.
- [36:58]
Amy
She's thriving. She's doing amazing.
- [37:00]
Bobby Bones
How's her English?
- [37:01]
Amy
English is great. She just got her visa.
- [37:03]
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Nice. That's awesome. It took a long time.
- [37:05]
Amy
It does. It was a process.
- [37:06]
Bobby Bones
I worked with a green card for a while, but now she's got her visa. It's a great thing. So if you guys want to listen to Dr. Josie's podcast, go and subscribe to in the vets office with Dr. Josie. She has on not just celebrities, but she does have on a lot of celebrities, but she also has on, like, I saw. I think her name is Nikki Varva. She's a dog trainer, and she was talking about, after Covid, all those animals that had gotten used to just being home, and their people left, and it was like mayhem because they didn't know that life.
- [37:30]
Amy
Yes.
- [37:30]
Bobby Bones
So they were just like, what do I do now?
- [37:32]
Amy
We saw that tenfold in the vet's office. These animals were so used to being with their owners every single day that when people started going back to work, the separation anxiety was through the roof. So it's been a challenge to treat.
- [37:48]
Bobby Bones
Final question about holidays. And. Okay, we got trees. Dogs can run into trees, break stuff, eat stuff, holiday foods that they should for sure not be around. Like, give me some holiday advice here.
- [37:58]
Amy
A really big one that I think people don't always think about is candles. So a lot of times they'll have a lot of open candles, and tails will hit the candles and candles fall over, tails catch on fire.
- [38:09]
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's like the dog killing everybody else, not hurting itself.
- [38:12]
Amy
Yeah. It's like a murder suicide.
- [38:14]
Bobby Bones
Dang. And that's. You've seen that happen where a dog's tail knocks over candles.
- [38:18]
Amy
Absolutely. Our cats, they love to pop. Pop their little paws and push things off the countertop.
- [38:23]
Bobby Bones
What's the most expensive dog not to buy, but to keep up with. If you buy one, just so it's like, I'm gonna. I can't wait to get a zone, so. And it costs a lot of money, so I'm gonna get it. But then all of a sudden, you're like, do you even know how much you got to pay for this dog once you have it? What's that, Bobby? I know, Okay? I know. Yeah. I tell people, don't get a bulldog.
- [38:40]
Amy
A bulldog, a French bulldog, an English bulldog.
- [38:43]
Bobby Bones
I love my bulldog. But don't get a bull. If you're out there listening and you're debating it, don't get a bulldog.
- [38:47]
Amy
Unless you have a trust fund for your dog, I would advise against it. They are so cute. And I love them so much.
- [38:53]
Bobby Bones
He's awesome. I love Stanley, but I. And I had a good friend go, hey, because he had two bulldogs, he was like, don't get a bulldog because they. There's so much. They're like inbred for years. Right. And is that not true?
- [39:04]
Amy
Yeah, I mean, it's just their confirmation, like their tiny little nose and they can't breathe. It's just. Yeah, it's a recipe for spending a lot of money.
- [39:15]
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I can tell you that for sure. What about pugs, though? Cause, like, pugs kind of have the same.
- [39:19]
Amy
They do. Yeah, pugs also anything with that, like, smushy face, which I love. They're so stinking cute. But you'll probably be spending some medical bills.
- [39:27]
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
No, no, I don't buy any of it. I just, you know, supply the money. Yeah. Excuse me. You know, like, you know, typical. If you're gonna say it, they'll say it. You don't have to say what? You don't dance around or whatever. You just. That's. Yeah. I don't know. Supply something. But if you're gonna say it, say it. So, like, my wife uses my credit card to buy the gifts.

Like, I'll just say for my kids, they have one big gift and there's after that there's like. No, there's a limit. Okay, but what about people that aren't like in laws? Yeah, in laws. So are some of them tiered? Do you have favorites you spend more on than others? No, no, not the in laws. They're all equal. But there is a cap on the in laws. And then brothers, sisters, way lower.
