Okay, I want to show you a picture Amy and tell me who you think it is. You know how everybody's been doing the 201610 years Instagram put up pictures. That trend.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So this is from Lo Cash and I was just scrolling through and this is from 2016 and lo cash has a bunch of songs, right? They have I Love the Things in Love, I love and they had posted this, and I was flipping through, and I saw a picture in their 2016, and there's a woman in between them. And I sent it to Eddie and I said, who's the woman? And we've been debating it. Can you name that woman?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
It's got to be somebody famous because they put it up as one of their main pictures. So I have a thought on who it is. Eddie had a thought on who it is.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah. But I'm wrong. And then I notice all the. They're at the World Series. Right. Because that's when The Cubs won 2016.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Yes.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Like, who would be at the World Series?
Mike
So I got a guess.
Bobby Bones
I think I have it. And I put the picture in chatgpt. And they won't tell you who person is. Did you know that? No, I didn't know that. It won't tell you who anybody is by a picture. I even did. I was watching television once, and I took all the old tv. Yeah. I took a picture of it and I said, who is this actor? They're like, we can't tell you who a person is.
Mike
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
They have limits.
Bobby Bones
Amy, guess who it is.
Amy
I really. I don't know, but I keep. I keep. I was like, is this her with, like, more makeup and different hair than usual, but where are her tattoos?
Bobby Bones
Who did you think?
Amy
Morgan Wade.
Bobby Bones
That's who Eddie said.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's what I guess.
Bobby Bones
I have a different guess. I'll wait.
Mike
Lunchbox Kim K. That's a good guess.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's a good guess. Dude, I didn't think about that.
Bobby Bones
That's not bad. That's not bad. I guessed Lady Gaga, and I think you're right. Oh, Lady Lady Gaga.
Mike
No way. That girl was a lot hotter than Lady Gaga.
Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
I see it now.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I think you're right. Lady Gaga's had so many looks like. I feel like I don't know what she really looks like, but I think you're right.
Bobby Bones
It may not be her. Mike, do you have. I got a new phone. My numbers aren't. Do you have Preston's number?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Maybe I have.
Bobby Bones
I mean, that's who. Immediately, I thought it was. Do you want to call him on.
Amy
Well, now that you've said it, I can't unsee it. That definitely looks like Lady Gaga.
Bobby Bones
We just put him on speaker. I'll yell at him.
Mike
Well, she was spotted attending a World series game in 2016.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, then we don't even need to make the call then.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That could be it. See, there he is. Let me Call him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, hit him up on speaker. I'll yell. I'll yell at him.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
What up, man?
Bobby Bones
Hey, Chris, it's Bobby. What's up, dude? Hey, we're looking at a picture that you guys posted from 2016. Who's the woman in between you and Preston? Oh, boy. No, it's. No, yeah, you're clothed. You have clothes on.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You're good.
Mike
You're safe.
Bobby Bones
Dude, it's at a. I was married in 2016. We're good. It's at a Cubs game. At a Cubs game. Yeah. Blonde. Oh, that's a Lady Gaga.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
There you go.
Bobby Bones
We were all debating who it was. How did you meet her? She was at the World Series. She was in the box with us. A funny story. She. She came up to me, you know, I had my wife there, and. Ladies, she's beautiful. She's just naturally beautiful. She's not really wearing any makeup or anything. She comes up to me, she goes, is that your wife? And I said, yeah. She goes, oh, my gosh, she's hot. I was like, so you can imagine the visions I had in my head that day was really weird. But, no, she was. She was a sweetheart.
Mike
And it was.
Bobby Bones
It was her and big Poppy, right? And look, Big Sean. No, no, this. There's a different picture where you're with Big Papi and. But, yeah, this picture on your Instagram was you two with her. And there was a Kim Kardashian guest. There was a Morgan Wade. Guess I did. Guess. Lady Gaga. But we were just calling. We want to talk to the horse's mouth. It was Lady Gaga, by the way. We're on. We're recording. So you're cool, right? All right. I should have said that at the beginning.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I.
Bobby Bones
All right, man.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Have a good. Eddie never calls me, so I didn't know. I'll get better.
Amy
What's up, dude?
Bobby Bones
All right. See you later, man. All right, y' all take care. All right, bye.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah, nailed it.
Bobby Bones
It's a good Lady Gaga picture, huh?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Did you know right away, or how did you know?
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't. I was just trying to place it, and they didn't tag anybody, and the Cubs thing threw me off because she's not naturally a Cubs fan because she's from New York or New Jersey or wherever.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
But I thought Morgan Wade at first, but there were no tattoos, so there you go. That's what's up. Hit me with voicemail number one, please.
Caller
So Lunchbox said that he would let his wife pose on only fans for $5 million. But I remember it wasn't too long ago. He has said that he is the breadwinner. He is the man, the man that always make the most money. So I guess it's me. That lunchbox wouldn't mind being a kept man, right? Love the show.
Bobby Bones
Thoughts?
Mike
Well, that is the only, like, dilemma is she would make more money than me. So I'd probably had to go out and find another job, maybe get a second job, work harder. But to get $5 million to show some, you know, pics of her and some underwear, that's no problem.
Bobby Bones
No, for her, it wouldn't be underwear. It would be only fans.
Amy
So you're willing to set aside your manly pride?
Mike
Well, no. I just said I'd have to get another job.
Amy
But you can't. Even when you're not gonna make that guy.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
No, you're not.
Mike
How do you know you won't?
Bobby Bones
Because in your main job, you don't make that. So you're gonna get a second job that makes that your track record. You would leave that to get that job.
Mike
That's true, but I mean, people like.
Bobby Bones
Day trade your track record. You have to spend money to make money. Day trading.
Mike
Hey, I'll do it.
Bobby Bones
Then do it now. If it's so easy to make 5.
Mike
Million bucks, I'd have to read some books. Okay, but yeah, that would be tough. That would be a blow to the ego. But, man, $5 million. She does it for a year, then she's done.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
But that's not your money because you.
Amy
Guys have separate accounts.
Mike
We'd have to renegotiate, but she'd be negotiation.
Amy
This whole thing is backfiring on her.
Mike
She would have to pay more of the bills.
Bobby Bones
She's probably fine with that. She'd tell you what to do a little more.
Mike
Not really.
Amy
She already tells me.
Mike
She doesn't tell me what to do.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You've heard the audio clips.
Mike
Guarantee. She don't tell me what to do.
Bobby Bones
All right, give me number two. I'm pretty sure you got hustled to.
Caller
Buy two new tires.
Bobby Bones
Because unless it's slow leaking, it's plugging its own hole. And you can get those patched. So I think you got hustled.
Caller
That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we talked about that last week. I went in. It's a place I've gone in before. It was for a tail light. And they said you also have a nail in both your back tires. We need to give you two new tires. It just feels like every time I go there, they add something Onto it. That was the story.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I'm just surprised that you didn't ask, like, can I see the nails? Because that does matter where they're located. It doesn't matter. You can patch those up.
Bobby Bones
They weren't in the sidewall.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
They weren't in the side. So then you can just patch those up.
Bobby Bones
Dude, I think I got got.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
For $10.
Bobby Bones
I think I got got. Yeah, give me the next one.
Mike
I just heard Bobby say that it gets cold there and he hates having.
Bobby Bones
To let let his dog out at night.
Mike
It's cold. Let his dog out in the morning. It's cold. Why don't you have a doggy door? Dog can go do his thing outside, whatever he wants later.
Bobby Bones
We do have a doggie door that one of the dogs uses, Eller, but I have to take Stanley out and we have a pool, and he can't go out without someone being around him. People drown. If the bulldog decides to go, and for some reason he walks in the pool, he sinks. There's no swimming there, so. And he also has this habit in the past six months of running and diving into poop. He doesn't do that anymore because we put the collar on him. And I don't hit the shock. I hit the brrr. And now he's realizing that's not going to hurt him. It's now to the stage where it scared him at first. And so I'd hit it and he'd be like, oh, I'm not going over there. And now he's like, you know, I don't care so much. It doesn't really hurt. So I hold it down and it goes longer. But I know he's just going to be like, screw it. I'm going for the poop.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
He does like, a nosedive. How does he do it?
Bobby Bones
No, no, he does like, you know, when a dog starts scratching their back.
Amy
He likes to see it.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
He just like, that's so gross.
Bobby Bones
It's so gross. He hasn't done it for a few weeks since we put that collar on him. But I'm not opposed to now if it. He starts pushing through it, shocking him, I'll shock him.
Amy
That's crazy. He's being that stubborn. Because my dog, I swear to you, I just have to show her something that looks like the remote now. And she just lays down, like, she, like, sits.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's awesome.
Amy
Yeah. I mean, she even knows where I keep the little remote. If I go over to the jar where the remote is inside, like, she's in. You walk into the Jar. And she sits down like, it's gotten so great. I don't even have to do anything.
Bobby Bones
I just think there's a difference in demeanors of bulldogs.
Amy
Oh, for sure.
Bobby Bones
Every other dog.
Amy
Yeah. Your dog is.
Bobby Bones
Because he does not care. He doesn't care if people around him. He'll just go sleep. He just has no cares in the world.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
And he looks like he doesn't care.
Bobby Bones
He's just like, you tell me what, I might do it. I might not. I probably won't. But I think that's very much a bulldog thing. Amy, what do you have over there? Story.
Amy
So have you ever heard of anybody that is afraid of being too happy?
Bobby Bones
I think I had a period in my life where I thought if I have genuine happiness, it'll be taken away from me. So why have genuine happiness when I know it's going to be ripped out anyway? So. Yes.
Amy
Well, there's a term and it's called cherophobia. And it's a psychological phenomenon when people experience a genuine fear of feeling too happy, believing that a tragic event will inevitably follow.
Bobby Bones
And I think I very much had a full version of that. And I think I still. That creeps into my life sometimes. But I can confront that at times with logic now. But yeah, I've definitely had that for most of my life.
Amy
I didn't even. I read this. I didn't even think about how you've had cherophobia. It's so true. That's what it's called.
Bobby Bones
They need a better name for. It feels like you're just scared of chairs. Like you don't want to sit down.
Amy
Cherophobia.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Is it cheer?
Amy
Like cheer?
Mike
No.
Amy
C H E R O phobia. They downplay positive emotions and avoid joy and celebrations as a way to protect themselves from anticipated emotional pain.
Bobby Bones
That's exactly what I have. And still probably have a little. Yeah, mostly because growing up, if there is a lot of pain that becomes associated with every day and you don't want to go back to that. So anything that's good, you realize it's going to be gone because you have a day daily association with pain. So it's like, why get super excited when it's just going to go away anyway?
Amy
Do you think that's your most pronounced phobia or your most, like your biggest phobia? Cherophobia?
Bobby Bones
It's probably the one that I think there's been an evolution away from.
Amy
That's. That's true. Because when I read this, it's not like I didn't even think of you because I feel like ever since you got married to Caitlyn, you've evolved in that way somewhat.
Bobby Bones
I think I have a problem of never getting too high, never getting too low. But I also don't get real sad either, because you're not able to really just not feel sadness, only feel happiness. And you're not able to just feel happiness and no sadness. I think forever. I just created these. These walls, these barriers, this protection that, well, if I don't get so happy, it can't be taken away from me. But then also I just wouldn't get that sad either.
Amy
That's true.
Bobby Bones
So I would just always stay, you know, pretty even. And I think I still. I still deal with that.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
For sure.
Amy
Well, yeah, it doesn't just go like, fear. Like, I always think mine's probably their heights or spiders. I mean, that doesn't just go away.
Bobby Bones
But are those real phobias? Because a phobia to me is something that.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Affects your day, every day.
Amy
Yeah. So I guess maybe mine aren't, like legit phobias. Height, I do not wanna. Like, I'll go up an airplane. Fine. That doesn't affect me. But I'm not gonna go. I don't. I have no interest in being up high and looking off of something or climbing up like that freaks me out, so.
Bobby Bones
Me too. I hate heights. I don't know that it's a phobia for me. For me, I don't know.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
It's a phobia. Like, Amy, can you go out on the balcony and look down?
Amy
Yeah.
Mike
That's only six floors. I mean, six floors. I meant stories.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Oh.
Mike
But I don't know, maybe that's not high enough for you to be scared.
Amy
Maybe. I don't know. So maybe I don't really. Good point, Bobby. Like, maybe I don't have a. I just have, like, a little fear, a little scared.
Bobby Bones
I hate heights. I'm definitely afraid of heights, but I don't have phobia.
Amy
What's fear of money?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You're scared of money?
Amy
Fear of dealing with money.
Bobby Bones
Like touching money?
Amy
No, having money. What's fear of? Spreadsheets?
Bobby Bones
Having a job in the arts.
Mike
Yeah.
Amy
No, because when you're adulting, you still have to, like, look at documents and stuff. Like. Or open bills. Like, what's fear of opening bills? Because I have that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Fear of being an adult.
Amy
That's it.
Bobby Bones
Adultophobia.
Mike
Oh, that's a tough one.
Amy
Of being an adult, but also knowing you're Capable and you can do it. That's what I keep telling myself. I just had therapy about that yesterday.
Caller
What?
Amy
The knowing that I am capable and not operating out of fair. Out of a place of fear? No, but there's. No, she's not.
Bobby Bones
But you can do it, and then you do it and you do it totally wrong and you lose everything.
Amy
Well, I guess if the circumstance was that. But where I am, there's actual data to support the fact that I can do things and I can take care of myself. So there's proof. Like, we can actually look at it. And so I need to focus on the data and not the drama or I need to focus on the facts and not the story. Because my repeated story in my head is that I'm not capable. And sometimes, like you, Bobby, I have better. I'm stronger than other times. But it just rears its head and you're like, why is this coming back?
Bobby Bones
Next. Voicemail.
Caller
I wanted to ask Lunchbox a question. Do you pay the babysitters when they come to your house and watch your kids so you can have some time with your wife alone? Because your two kids or three kids or however many kids you've got that are at the bar that bartender was babysitting for you. Anyway, hope you have a great day.
Bobby Bones
I feel like, with that tone, she wasn't hoping he had a great day.
Mike
Yeah, it sounded like she didn't really like me. Yeah, I have three kids and I do pay the babysitter, but, I mean, they were literally sitting at the bar for maybe five to eight minutes. It's not like they were there for hours and they babysat while me and my wife went on a date. They were there for five to eight minutes, ate some orange slices, drank some water. Then when the food came out, they came back to our table.
Bobby Bones
So was it worth $2?
Mike
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
That means. Yeah, it was cool. That's all she's saying.
Mike
I mean, they had fun. They thought it was pretty. The kids thought it was cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, somebody stepped in and helped you out in a way they weren't expected to. Didn't have to. It was a service and.
Mike
But I had no bill from them to tip.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You can just tip without a bill.
Bobby Bones
You can just say, do you have Venmo? That's what I do all the time.
Mike
Oh.
Bobby Bones
But see, maybe you learn from it and the next person will receive your blessing.
Mike
Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You know how? I guess.
Mike
Go ahead. No, go ahead. Whatever. Like, no, go ahead, man.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
You know, like, whenever, like, the luggage guy delivers Your luggage. You give him five bucks.
Mike
Who delivers your luggage? What luggage?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Guys? The hotel. You stay at a really nice hotel and they deliver.
Bobby Bones
I don't ever give them.
Mike
They don't give. I don't give my luggage.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
When you have four kids, like, that's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
And there's no bill there, and you give them five bucks.
Mike
Like, I don't do that. I say, no, I can carry my own luggage.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
What about free valet?
Bobby Bones
You should tip the valet on free valet.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Right? There's no bill there, and you give them five bucks.
Mike
Where do you get free valet? I've never seen a lot of restaurants.
Bobby Bones
Most places now.
Mike
Oh, yeah. Someone valets your car. I see what you're saying. Yeah. I was like, well, if it's free, why would you.
Bobby Bones
What is free? A lot of places.
Mike
I see what you're saying. Yes, I tip a valet driver. That's a service that I do tip.
Bobby Bones
But how? There's no bill.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
There's no bill. Like the bartender.
Mike
Oh, sometimes I had to borrow cash. Remember, guys, the first time, I didn't even know how to valet. And I didn't know you could tip them afterwards.
Bobby Bones
10 years ago.
Mike
Yeah, yeah. But now you talking about the first time I ever. We went to a restaurant. We were going as a show for some event, and I didn't have cash, and I knew I had to pay. Like, it was. They were like, just valet. And I was like, I don't know how to do that. So I drove around the block for 30 minutes trying to find a parking spot because I didn't have any money to pay the valet guy. I didn't realize you could pay them after. And I could have borrowed cash from someone inside.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Got it.
Bobby Bones
But again, that was a decade ago.
Mike
I know, but he's saying. I'm just saying. But, yeah, I'll get cash. And I would tip a valet. I do tip of valet, because that's a service.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Valet is pretty crazy. You think about it, like, you just give someone your car, you trust them.
Mike
To be a good driver.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
It's like you always say about the credit card, you know, like, you give.
Bobby Bones
It to someone, they walk in the back in a dark room where nobody's looking at them. That crazy.
Mike
That's wild.

Eddie (Lunchbox)
I should have remembered. Amy's brain was all messed up.
Bobby Bones
Give me my money. Give me my money. Thank you very much. All right, there we go.
Mike
I got a question.
Bobby Bones
Good game.
Mike
John Denver. Is his name really John Denver? Did he just name himself after Denver, Colorado?
Bobby Bones
That is a great question.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
And I really want to know more about this Purple Rain thing.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Very curious.
Mike
Like, I have no idea. Just maybe when you said John Denver and he's from Colorado, I wonder if that's his real name.
Bobby Bones
John Denver's real name is Henry John Duesendorf Jr. Oh, Duesendorf.
Mike
I did name it after Denver Dussendorf.
Bobby Bones
But changed his name in the mid-90s because he loved Colorado.
Mike
There we go.
Bobby Bones
And is there any way to see if Purple Rain.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Purple name is after the Vikings?
Bobby Bones
No. Princess Song. Purple Rain was not named after the Minnesota Vikings.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Good try, dude.
Amy
But it got him there.
Bobby Bones
It got him there. There you have it. The anonymous inbox. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband recently bought a new big screen TV that cost over $800. He did not talk to me about it first. It's not that we can't afford it, but it felt like a big decision that he made alone because we share finances, we budget together, and. And we usually discuss purchases like that. What bothered me the most is that it made me feel left out and disrespected. He thinks I'm overreacting because it's, quote, just a tv, but to me, it's about communication. Am I being unreasonable for feeling upset, or is this about more than the tv? Signed. Why? Feeling left out. Well, first, I think this is the perfect opportunity to create some sort of universal family house rule on, hey, if either one of us spend this money, we let the other person know, like, without being any sort of trouble. Obviously, you've already had this conversation and he's reacted this way, you've reacted that way. But I think this is the perfect reason to get into it. I get it. You wanted the tv. I shouldn't get upset. But for both of our say, can we create a rule, anything more than this amount we talk about. So I think this is the perfect opportunity for that. Secondly, you're never unreasonable for feeling a certain way. It's always how you act on a feeling. So if you feel that way, it's probably rooted in something that's been happening in your household. So you have the right to your feelings. And it is about more than the tv. Obviously, I'm not there. I don't know what it's about, but I think this can be an opportunity to create a rule. What do you think?
Amy
Yeah, I think it's about, well, respect. You feel disrespected, and this is an opportunity to right the ship for both of y' all so you don't end up doing it to him or you hold resentment. If you don't bring it up, you're not being unreasonable at all. And it is about more. So go ahead and address it.
Bobby Bones
What's the rule? And, you know, how about that now that you don't have a husband anymore, you might buy whatever you want.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
Isn't that cool now?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Whatever you want.
Bobby Bones
Crazy you go to the gas station to buy whatever you want.
Amy
Yeah, like, no limits. All the spending is. I'm responsible for everything.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Yeah, that's kind of cool.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's really cool.
Amy
It's nice to have a partnership. So, I mean, it's, there's positives, minuses.
Bobby Bones
Did you have, did you have a rule when you were married?
Amy
Yeah, especially early in our marriage when we didn't have as much extra spending type money. I remember I was freaking out one day because I got a smoothie. And after it was all said and done, it's like $8. And I was like, oh, my gosh, she's gonna see that transaction. Because, like, can't believe that marriage didn't last. No, this early on. And we were trying not to, like, spend extra things, so. But it was that smoothie that led to a bigger conversation of like, okay, let's be realistic, like, what dollar amount do we need to actually discuss? And do we need to discuss an eight dollar smoothie? Probably not. But we picked a number and it, you know, it grew over time. It started maybe a hundred dollars, then it was like, okay, if it's anything over 250. And then it just grew from there.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, you guys have a rule?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah, I think the same with Amy. Used to be 100 for a long time, but now everything's so expensive. Like, I can go to the grocery store and not spend 100 do dollars. So it's 200. Now is when we call each other and be like, hey, I gotta buy this. This is like 250 bucks.
Mike
Is it cool?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Can we do this? She's like, yeah, sure. Like the other day I went to go get medicine for my kids, and the medicine was like, you had to.
Mike
Call to get.
Bobby Bones
Medicine?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
They were like, the medicine.
Bobby Bones
Can I buy this penicillin? Honey, the kids really need it.
Caller
I'll clarify.
Amy
My rule is like something that, like, yes, if it's life or death, go for it.
Bobby Bones
I'm not kidding.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I called my wife be like, is it okay if I buy this 150 bucks? She's like, just buy it.
Bobby Bones
The medicine.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
The medicine for our kids.
Bobby Bones
What if she just said, no, No, I don't think they're good. I don't think it's worth it. So, yeah, it's okay to discuss it. It's obviously about something more than the tv. Although that is a pretty expensive TV to buy without asking. So, yes, have the conversation. But it gives you an opportunity to create a rule for both of you. You guys can email us anytime.

Caller
Oh, my gosh. Hi, guys. Good morning, studio.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Morning.
Caller
Okay, so I have. I need some advice and I have been losing sleep over it. So I finally decided to call in with all of your guys's baby shower talk. A little bit of background. I have, I currently have three children. I had three kids within four and a half years. We had a baby shower, like your traditional baby shower, one on each side about 10 years ago. It was wonderful. We legitimately got everything we needed. Well, we moved into a new house last year and I got rid of everything because we were done having babies. I just kind of gave it to everybody that still just kind of needed stuff, paid it forward. Well, we just got surprised with our fourth baby almost five and a half years later.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Wow.
Caller
So, yeah, a little bit of a surprise, but it's a good surprise. We're excited. It took a little bit to kind of wrap our brains around it, but we're excited. So we had a sister in law on my husband's side and then my sister on my side, like, let's throw you a sprinkle. After my husband and I talked to her, like, well, we feel silly.
Bobby Bones
What's a sprinkle?
Caller
Say the word. Silly.
Amy
It's a type of shower that she's already had her other baby showers. So this is more of like a sprinkle because Typically, I don't know, you can share exactly why. Well, that makes sense. But you're like more sprinkling celebration instead of a full blown baby shower.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's not full water. It's not a full shower because you.
Amy
Don'T need all the things. But she gave away all her things.
Bobby Bones
Got it. So are you feeling weird about asking for stuff?
Caller
Yes, because we got rid of every. They already gave us stuff and it was so wonderful and we chose to get rid of it and so to have another one like, oh, well, thank you for getting us more stuff. We got rid of your other stuff. It feels, it's, it feels very selfish, but I will say so. We originally said no. We said thank you. Like, that's so nice. We're gonna handle it. You know, God's got a plan for us. We're going to go and do it. Thank you, though. Well, holy cow, do things change in 10 years? I didn't have to buy anything new with my third, but now I have to do all this research again because everything's changed. All the stuff that I had 10 years ago doesn't even exist. Car seats, strollers. So we're re going through all of this and I made like a hidden registry so nobody can really see it, but I can see it and I can start ordering things off of it as I want. Well, they keep kind of asking, are you sure you don't want a sprinkle? Are you sure you don't want this? And we do still feel very awkward about it. But now going back and looking, it's like, this is a lot.
Bobby Bones
Amy, you want to go? I have a thought. But you.
Amy
Well, okay. I think if they are offering and they're even insisting at this point that you should let those that love you, love you, love you. And I will say with Bobby's wife, it's not something that was like she didn't feel comfortable right away about a shower. Like, I just kind of brought up one day like, hey, what's. Have you thought about a shower? And she was like, no, we don't, you know, And I was like, no, I think that you should consider doing it. And it took her a second, but then she was like, you know what? Actually I would love it. And I think she just had to give herself that permission to not take that away from those of us that do care about her and wanted to celebrate her and Bobby's baby.
Bobby Bones
So what do you say to her? Let them. I think if there is weirdness about, you know, everybody getting back together, It's a fourth kid. It's not a big deal. You can even do, like, an online situation, like, hey, we're raising. We're doing an online sprinkle. Sounds weird to say that for Kara. If you guys want to donate to this, like, gift cards or Apple Pay or Venmo, you can do that. I mean, if you don't want to have one, there's a version of it where it's not everybody has to get together and give you gifts and sit around a table and, you know, share your college experiences. You know, we talk about.
Amy
Well, that's definitely something to consider. But is it. Is it that. Is it gathering the people or is it the.
Bobby Bones
It's both. Like, if you gather, they're going to bring gifts. So it's time and money.
Amy
Yeah. And I think people want to get together.
Bobby Bones
I don't disagree with you, but I'm saying for her, if there's like, a middle ground where she's like, I don't feel like a four. We haven't a fourth kid. We've had showers. And I feel guilty getting everybody back together. I think you could do like a. Hey, Kara's having a raising money for a virtual sprinkle, and I think her closest friends would donate toward it. If it's about that. If she feels guilty about getting everybody back together and having a party.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But I think Amy has a point. You should let them show their love for you and don't feel guilty about that, because they won't if they don't want to. So do it.
Amy
Like, I'll just say this because it's fresh in my mind, and it just happened. Like, those of us that were hosting, like, the. The fun we had putting it all together in the hours leading up and, like, just how exciting it was, the way things came together and how cute it was. Like, even our group text about it, some of the girls were like, oh, man, it's gonna be sad not texting about this every day because it brought us joy. So when whatever the circumstance, it may not even be a shower, it could be. You know, people want to rally around you and support you during a difficult time, and you don't. You feel weird accepting it. It's like you're robbing people the opportunity of taking care of you or bringing joy to their lives in a way. So let's just, you know, I know it's hard, but maybe don't take that away from them.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, do them a favor and let them buy you stuff. Kara, come on. We're on the same side here. I just. I feel weird when people do stuff for me. So I think that's why I come from. Hey, we can find a compromise. Like, I don't. I don't like anybody doing anything for me. So I'm like, oh, everybody. Nobody wants to be here. Nobody wants to buy me anything. And I'm forcing them to. So that's where mine comes from. But Amy's probably the healthier one here.
Caller
Yeah. No, Bobbi, that's 100% how I feel. Normally. I love throwing the showers, I love throwing the parties, I love doing all that stuff. But when somebody says they're gonna do it for me, I feel odd. But I don't want to feel odd about it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I think they won't do it unless they want to allow them to. You also need the stuff. Everybody wins. So who cares if it's your fourth kid?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
First kid, fourth kid. Like, if. And they don't have to give you stuff if they don't want to. Like, send us the link, we'll be first. You send us the link, we'll be the first ones to donate to your sprinkle. And you can. Then you can send it out like, look who donated to the sprinkle. And then that's a conversation piece. And I was like, wow, okay, we'll jump in.
Caller
Oh, that's silly. But okay. Your guys's, your guys's opinions on it.
Bobby Bones
Let them do it. Karen.
Caller
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Okay, see you later. Thank you for calling.
Caller
Thank you, bones.
Bobby Bones
Dolly turns 80 today. What do you think her most streamed song ever is?
Amy
Oh, I will always love you.
Bobby Bones
Or number four.
Amy
Okay. Islands in the Stream.
Bobby Bones
Number three.
Amy
Okay. Oh, nine to five.
Bobby Bones
Number two.
Mike
Whoa.
Bobby Bones
It's like we're doing the countdown.
Amy
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So which one?
Amy
Jolene, number one.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, she hit it. Four, three, two, one. Nice.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Good job, Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Jolene, number one from 1974. I've been lucky enough to spend a bunch of time with Dolly. We've been lucky enough to have her on this show. She had 11 siblings, which is crazy by itself. Just again, in a vacuum to have 11 siblings. I guess times were different back then. Dolly was born in 1946 in a one room cabin on the banks of the Little Pigeon river in Pittman Center, Tennessee. 11 siblings. And she talked about how she didn't get a lot of attention growing up unless she was playing music.
Dolly Parton
I have a sister and two brothers older, so I was fourth one down. And then there's eight younger, so I didn't get A lot of attention, but I saw I could get it. And I was one of those kids that needed a lot of attention. And I knew mom and Daddy loved us all the same. But we didn't get picked up unless we was getting our butt busted or, you know, or sick or something. So that guitar and my music was my first entrance into getting the attention that I needed. And I'm still at it.
Bobby Bones
Did you have all those kids back in the day so they could, like, work the land? Is that the reason they had so many kids?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I mean, my.
Amy
I think so.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
My mom had 13 brothers and sisters, and they were migrant workers. So, yeah, that was their reason, for sure. Wild.
Bobby Bones
It just sounds so expensive.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Dolly told us she doesn't like to fly, so she travels on the ground. On a bus is absolutely most she can.
Dolly Parton
I don't like to fly. I get motion sickness. I don't like that helpless feeling that I can't get out if I want to. I travel by my bus when I can. And when I do fly, we usually fly private jet. It's really hard doing commercial anymore just because it's so such a zoo. I just take my bus anytime I can.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's so cool.
Bobby Bones
I was asking her about her tour bus and what food and drink she.
Dolly Parton
Must have on the bus, but usually they usually just. I just need water or, like, fruit. Like a fruit plate, like cheese and fruit. But that's more for people that come in and out. For myself, I just have mostly what I want on my bus anyway.
Bobby Bones
And we talked about back in the day. And there were times in her career where she was way more internationally famous than she was famous in the United States.
Dolly Parton
But, see, I've been at this a long time. And I've been famous in Europe for years and years and years because of the songs that I used to sing and write. Like Coat of Many Colors. And people related to that. They knew that I was brought up in a family of 12 children, you know, kind of a mountain Cinderella story. So it wasn't uncommon. A lot of my music was playing more overseas than it did here for a long time, you know, from my early records. But it's nice to be loved by anybody, anywhere.
Bobby Bones
Happy 80th birthday to Dolly Parton. If you were super famous, Amy, in Norway.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And you got a call like, wow, you have completely taken over Norway. They are obsessed with you. They love you.
Amy
That'd be great.
Bobby Bones
Would you move there?
Amy
I don't know if I would move there because I'd have to move a lot of things with me.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
But if they just adored you were to them, who's the most famous person here? The Rock that really people don't feel polarized about.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
If you were the rock in Norway, would you move to Norway?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That'd be cool.
Amy
I suppose I would visit, but I don't think I'm gonna move, man.
Bobby Bones
I think you gotta move. I think you gotta move. Like in Ireland, all of a sudden. In Ireland, you are like the. The bee's knees.
Amy
Yeah. I don't think I would move. No.
Bobby Bones
I think I'd have to. I'd have to consider it.
Mike
Yeah.
Amy
I don't know. Because that's just not like, my lifelong goal is to be known that way.
Bobby Bones
You do this for a living?
Mike
Yeah.
Amy
Yeah. But I've been doing this since I just was like, well, that'll be fun. Let's try it out. And here we are 20 years later.
Bobby Bones
Well, happy birthday to Dolly Parton. Has Amy called any of you guys big dog yet?
Mike
Big Dog?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
No, no, no, no. That would be weird.
Bobby Bones
You hadn't hit him with that yet.
Amy
No, not yet. Because I just. I. I feel like I need permission to try this out. I didn't want to know.
Bobby Bones
You can't tell people you're gonna call. You just gotta. Yeah, what's up, Big Dog?
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, tell them why you want to use it.
Amy
Okay. So I saw this girl post on social media about how when she started talking to all the men in her life saying, big dog, it changed every relationship. Here's the clip.
Caller
If you want to get things done, work the system, just throw out a big dog.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Big Dog.
Caller
Oh, Big Dog's here. What's up, Big Dog?
Amy
Her name is Rachel Samples. And I. I went to the comments of this, and there are so many comments of guys that are like, yeah, that would make my day. That made my day. Like, so I'd be like. I could walk in and be like, hey, Big Dog, get that commercial done.
Bobby Bones
For a big dog.
Amy
Yeah. All right. Oh, Scuba Steve hands me something. Oh, thanks, Big Dog.
Bobby Bones
I think a lot of dudes. And there's a Tiger woods meme where he's calling somebody big dog. That's what you say when you don't know who the person's name is.
Mike
100.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he. Like, dudes do that. Hey, what's up, Big Dog? That's it. That's. If you don't know their name.
Amy
Like, if I pass, like, a. A boss in the hall or like, the. I just passed the head of this cluster, I could have been like, sup, Big Dog? But then that would be. That would.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
And let us know how it goes.
Amy
Like, oh, yeah. You know, actually, I saw Gator yesterday. I really liked his sneakers. Like, I could be like, big dog with the sneakers.
Bobby Bones
It can't be so performative.
Amy
Big.
Dolly Parton
She.
Amy
She was like, hey, Big dog.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you're. You're doing Big Dog.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Gonna be like, hey, cool sneakers, Big Dog. Hey, what's up? And did you go to something else?
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
You can't really have a gap around it where you're looking for feedback in that gap.
Mike
Yeah. You're looking for a response when you go, big dog.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
That's good advice, Big Dog.
Bobby Bones
So, like, comment on. Comment on my hat. I'm walking by.
Amy
Oh, I like that hat, Big Dog.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. See, if you just go, no. No deal.
Amy
Okay. Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Sounds like Randy Jackson.
Amy
Give it a try.
Bobby Bones
That's a no for me, dog. That's different. This is Amy's own thing.
Amy
Different. This is big, Big Dog.
Bobby Bones
Try to do it a few times.
Amy
What about an email? Can I be like, oh, yeah, if.
Bobby Bones
I. Email is different because what. Email feels like you're trying to create.
Amy
A moment because it's, like, written, Big dog.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, like, you spent time. You wrote it, you looked at it again. You still like, if you're just big dogging somebody, it's just like. That just happens. It's like, appreciate that, Big dog. Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
And it's not any louder than any other word.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
The inflection's got to be the same.
Bobby Bones
And you can't do it with us because we know what you're doing.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So other guys, like, about to head over the day. Have a good day, Big Dog. And just. Just keep walking. You can't stop and, like, look around.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
But you can't do it in email because that. That's not natural. It'll not feel natural. It's not gonna feel natural anyway. It's gonna be hilarious. But try three times.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Whenever. And then give us an update after you do the three times. But you can't, like, giggle, because that's what you're gonna do.
Amy
No, I can keep it together.
Bobby Bones
You can't keep it together.
Amy
Yes, I can. I can keep it together long enough to just be like, hey, okay, leaving for the day.
Bobby Bones
You see, I'm a random dude that you see in the office. You're leaving for the day, and you set some random.
Amy
Because there's some random dudes in office. They really are random. I don't know.
Bobby Bones
But if, you know, if, like, you would talk with them anyway. Rick Murray, our head of sales. You see Rick Murray in the hall. You talk. You talk with him. Go ahead.
Amy
Okay. Actually, I do have a question for him. So I could be like, hey, question for you. Ask the question. And then I'll be like, can you just.
Bobby Bones
Question for you, big dog.
Amy
Okay, question for you, big dog.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
So weird. He's gonna be like, what?
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
You just can't laugh.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Just try.
Bobby Bones
Okay, it's one more time.
Mike
Sorry.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
All right.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Amy.
Amy
Oh, hey. Question for you, big dog. I can, I can, I can. I promise I can. I will be able to do it. I just need to know specifically. It's almost like you have to give me my targets because it has to.
Bobby Bones
Just be as part. I would have something before and after the word so you don't laugh. So if you are doing. Hey, question for your big dog. I got this thing. You got to go to the next thing.
Amy
Next thing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
No gap.
Amy
No gap. All right. Big dog.
Mike
Yeah, Like Rick.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Question about screws, big dog. What time you think we'll be getting out?
Mike
Yeah, exactly. Just something like that. You don't have to really want to know. It's just something.
Bobby Bones
Try to record it because you'll know you're gonna do it. Okay. And if you can't record it, that's okay. But if you can record it, record it and bring it in.
Amy
No, I should be able to record it. I might need some time. I don't know that I have three big dogs in me in, like, one in one day.
Bobby Bones
No, I don't think you have them in a day. It could be a month.
Dolly Parton
Oh, okay.
Amy
Just over time.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Take your time.
Amy
Just collect my big dogs.
Bobby Bones
Use them wisely.
Amy
Does this only in platonic male relationships? Or, like, should I test out calling my boyfriend big dog?
Bobby Bones
That may end different. We don't want that recording.
Mike
Yeah, we don't want to hear that.
Bobby Bones
Let's go to angel in Arkansas is on the phone. Let's go over and talk to Angel.
Caller
So we've been talking a lot about food this morning and fasting, and so one of my guilty snacks growing up was popcorn and cherry Kool Aid. So my question for everybody was, does anybody have a weird food combo or a snack that's kind of unique or different that they like to go to?
Bobby Bones
You know what's interesting is I've never heard of popcorn and Kool Aid, but it does sound probably pretty good, because I'm assuming that the Popcorn tastes like the Kool Aid.
Caller
Yeah. So the Kool Aid kind of just disintegrates the popcorn, and it just is, like, the best. So growing up, that's one of the. The snacks that I felt like I always went to that just was kind of like a comfort food. So I know a lot of people have weird and strange cravings or food combos, so I was curious if anyone had one of those.
Bobby Bones
Mine isn't. I don't think weird, but as a kid, I just think of this. When you said Kool Aid, and we drank a lot of Kool Aid because it was super cheap, but we had. We take the ice tray, and you fill water and put Kool Aid in them. And that's how you had popsicles.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Oh, yeah, that's.
Bobby Bones
You did. I remember that you did toothpicks in the ice tray. You made Kool Aid and then you poured it in the ice tray and you put toothpicks in it. And then that's. Those are popsicles. I don't know if that's a poor person thing.
Amy
Only little mini popsicles. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
No need to call us mini. You know, we're people, too.
Amy
No, I'm like, that's cute. I like it.
Bobby Bones
No, that was a full popsicle for us.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's all they could have.
Mike
Yeah. One mini in their mind.
Bobby Bones
No, not at all. What do you. What'd you have?
Amy
Oh, growing up, all the time, I would stir together peanut butter and honey and just eat it straight out of the bowl. Like peanut butter honey. Like, we'd whip it up. You'd spoon it and spoon it. Yeah, you do. Like a bowl full of peanut butter. Stir the honey in. At my cousin's house, that's where I learned how to first do it. And she'd. She'd wake us up in the middle night. She's like, you want a snack?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I was like, yeah, that sounds really dirty.
Bobby Bones
It also feels like that would be good as peanut butter. Like, peanut butter honey on something.
Mike
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I. I don't like peanut butter.
Amy
No, just spoon it. And then I was a big Mac and cheese with ketchup. Oh, I'll still do that.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Oh, that's weird.
Mike
No, no, it's different. That makes me want to vote.
Bobby Bones
That's gross.
Mike
O.
Amy
It is not.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that feels gross. That doesn't match. I don't even mind salty sweet. But that's like, I like Mac and cheese, and I like ketchup. I don't think that goes together.
Amy
That's salty. Salty.
Bobby Bones
That's.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah. And cheesy.
Bobby Bones
Why you being so seductive in your things? She'd wake me up and go, hey, you want to do it? You did do. You're doing that. You are.
Mike
You are. You're talking like that.
Amy
Because even salty.
Bobby Bones
Salty. You hit us with salty.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Salty. Your cousin. You're blaming it on your cousin, too.
Bobby Bones
Salty.
Amy
She would say, like. She'd have to be like, hey. Hey, you want a snack, Eddie? Whatever.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
We would do watermelon with chili powder.
Bobby Bones
I've had that.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah. So, like, that was like a summer thing. Like, we get watermelons, cut them up in cubes, and then there was like, a thing called Lucas, which was like. It wasn't exactly chili powder. It was like a concoction of some kind of weird chili powder. Salt, lime, whatever. And we put that on there. Delicious.
Bobby Bones
We would do salt sometimes on watermelon.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah.
Amy
Cantaloupe.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Same deal.
Bobby Bones
Which is good. Yeah.
Amy
Or pepper.
Bobby Bones
Maybe the chili. I only did once I got to Texas because it seems like a Hispanic Mexican thing.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
I mean.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That Lucas was from Mexico.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Lunchbox. Anything.
Mike
I mean, the only thing. I mean, I don't even know if it's weird, though. SpaghettiOs. And you put pepper in there and parmesan cheese. Oh, my God.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Sounds pretty good.
Mike
That sounds like it was delicious.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Sounds normal.
Mike
I don't know.
Amy
He's like, I don't know. This is gonna sound weird, but it's like pasta with sauce and cheese.
Bobby Bones
Here's the.
Mike
Here's the thing.
Bobby Bones
Ice cream with chocolate sauce.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
It's pretty normal, man.
Mike
That's why I said, I don't know if it's that many weird.
Bobby Bones
Oh, here we go. Peaches with ice cream on them.
Mike
Ah, man. That was good, though.
Amy
Did you do cookies and milk, too?
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. Cookies and milk.
Mike
My cousin would wake me up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And say, you want some cookies? Open your lips.
Amy
Okay. All right.
Bobby Bones
All right, angel. Thank you for the call.
Caller
Absolutely. You have a great day.
Bobby Bones
All right, bye. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning. His wigs. Next bit, and Bobby's on the mic, so you know what this is? This is the Bobby bone story. All right, time for the morning corny.
Mike
The morning corny.
Amy
What vegetable is always cold?
Bobby Bones
What vegetable is always cold?
Amy
A chili.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That was the morning corny.
Mike
All right.
Bobby Bones
Voicemail.
Mike
Go.
Caller
I just got back from running 39.3 miles in two days at Walt Disney World. I did the Goofy challenge, which is running a half marathon on Saturday. Which is 13.1 miles. And then running a full marathon on Sunday, which is 26.2 miles. And I listen to the Bobby Bone show the whole time. So thank you guys for running with me this weekend with my 39.3 miles. Bye.
Bobby Bones
That's a lot. Good job. Congratulations. The Goofy challenge. Sounds fun to go run around Disney.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I saw a TikTok where a girl signed up to do a half marathon. But what she realized, what she signed up for was at a park, you just run a small circle over and over again. And there were only like six other people doing it. And her friend showed up with signs and they were like, where's everybody else at?
Eddie (Lunchbox)
That's terrible.
Bobby Bones
It's pretty funny. Hit me with the next one.
Caller
I wanted to call and talk about Amy's curiosity walks that she brought up. And going the same place all the time is incredibly boring and dull. So I just take a different route all the time and explore kind of a new area, look at some really cool houses and then head back home. Didn't know there was a name for it, but yeah, you should give it a try. If you like to walk, it's a lot of fun.
Bobby Bones
It felt to me like when Amy was describing this, where she'd go, just walk and follow squirrels, walk into the woods. Walking about like, she's gonna get shot.
Amy
I hit up a new neighborhood.
Bobby Bones
I didn't even know that sounds like you're robbing.
Dolly Parton
But I was like, what?
Amy
They had like this beautiful pond and I just, I had no idea it was back there at all.
Bobby Bones
Sounds so curious.
Amy
Yeah. And there was geese.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
Wow, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
That's cool. Wow. All right, thank you for the call. You guys can call our voicemail anytime. 877-77. Bobby.
Amy
Bobby Bone Show.
Bobby Bones
Bonehead. Story of the day.
Mike
This story comes to us from Oklahoma. A family went out to dinner. Mom and dad had a few beverages. They're walking out of the car like, I don't think we can drive. They looked at their 12 year old son, said, hey, man, you get us home. Tossed him the keys and the 12 year old got pulled over.
Bobby Bones
You've been training your whole. Well, you've been watching on tv. A lot of people drive. It's time for you to drive. The move probably is. Call an Uber. Everybody gets in the Uber and goes home and you come back and you get the car whenever everybody's sobered up. I don't know what you would have done in 1987 though, if I'm being honest. Luckily, we're not in 1987 right now. Yeah, but.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
They were halfway there.
Bobby Bones
When I was 12, I was driving a bit. We'd be in the woods and I'd drop Arkansas Keith off. We'd be hunting and he'd be like, drop me off here. Drive the truck over there.
Amy
Yeah, I feel like that. The woods is different.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie (Lunchbox)
It's not a road.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no, I hear you. What if you're a cop and you see a child driving a car? You gotta pull that over, Right?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Nobody got hurt, though.
Mike
Nobody got hurt. He was just kind of going over the lines and not able to maintain the vehicle. All right, so I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
Bobby Bones
We'll see you guys tomorrow. Hope you have a great Monday. Goodbye, everybody.
