2. Listener Voicemail: First Date on Valentine’s Day

Timestamp: 08:01–14:51

Dilemma: Expectations for a V-Day First Date

• A listener asks if it’s typical to expect a gift on a Valentine’s first date.
  • Bobby and Amy discuss the unique social expectations placed on Valentine’s Day dates, particularly first ones.
  • Quote (Bobby, 08:14): "It should be treated with, you know, a little more romantic respect, even if it’s a first date, because you don’t go on a Valentine’s Day first date and not acknowledge it’s Valentine's Day."
• Bobby lays out his expectations for the man on such a date: dressing up, a small gesture like a flower, and chivalry.
• Malcolm and Amy debate what constitutes an appropriate romantic gesture:
  • Malcolm, 11:41: "How many flowers? Like a bouquet or like, just one little, like, oh, you’re my Valentine?"
• The trio humorously dissects what’s “too much” for a first date—from a single flower to an overwhelming bouquet.
• Safety is also discussed: Amy brings up whether it’s wise to let a first date pick you up at home, especially if you met online.
  • Quote (Bobby, 13:22): "Amy, don’t be inviting a dude in on the first date. You don’t even know the guy after the first date. Maybe."
• The consensus: Valentine's Day raises the bar a bit, but it shouldn't set unrealistic expectations for future dates.

• On Comfort Clothes:
  Bobby (06:36): "I don’t travel anywhere without a cutoff. And again, I'd like to say it's not for exposure of muscles, because I don't have those. Like, I'm in okay shape, but I just like to feel free. Free and easy. Down the road I go."

• On Valentine’s Date Expectations:
  Bobby (08:52): “You should dress up a little more. Not her—I'm sure she'll dress how she wants to dress. But the guy doesn't need to wear an untucked polo shirt and jeans on Valentine's Day.”

• On the Evolution of Friendship Terms:
  Amy (21:39): "You know how when you learn a new word and then you start to see it more places and you must have just skipped over it before and it not registered?"

We're here in New York City with T Mobile for Business recording another episode of Revisionist history about how 5G network slicing strengthens trust and connection across worldwide industries. Slicing can be used for so many different things. We're here with our friends from CNN from Siemens Energy. The ways that it can be used, frankly, are limitless and are really, really built to think through. How can T Mobile understand the pain.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Points that our customers have?

[Bobby Bones]

Smash those pain points and help you deliver very specific outcomes. Come on, it's time for the good news. Tell me something good. You want to go?

[Amy]

Yeah, I can go. My son finished his track tryouts and I'm just really proud of him. He was a little stressed that he didn't do great, so how he handled that was he just went for like a five mile run. So I was like, good for you knowing how to Burn off steam. But I'm proud of him for knowing that he just needs to train and work harder to get better. If he was disappointed in some of his performance, I'm glad that he's motivated to try to get better.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he make it?

[Amy]

Yeah, he's made the track team. They were trying out more so for like the events they would be racing in.

[Bobby Bones]

Were there some that he didn't make?

[Amy]

There were some where he just didn't. Like, a kid that he was beating last year was beating him. So I think that that was something that was hard for him to process.

[Bobby Bones]

But that doesn't mean he doesn't get to compete in them. He just lost in like a heat.

[Amy]

Yeah. He still hasn't been assigned, like, okay, so there's the track team and then there's all the different events. And so he's trying out for like, which event he's gonna be placed in for the team. And there were a couple of events where this one kid that he was beating no problem. Must have been doing some or growth spurt. Growth spurt. Something, something. Cause he was like, I mean, of course he was happy for the other kid. That's why I also love his heart, is because he wasn't like. He's like, wow, that's really awesome. He's gotten so much better and I need to work harder. And so I was like, oh, good. I just like a proud mom moment of like, you got this figured out.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Is he doing like long jump and all those other ones? No, no, just running.

[Amy]

Just running races. Like 800, 400 relay team.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, mine's a little weird because this morning my wife was awake when I was leaving, which doesn't happen a lot. But she reminded me, she said, hey, you have an entire, like, drawer of cardigans that you don't ever wear. Just making sure you know, they're there. And so I open them up and I found the one that she really. It's not that she hates it, but it's just so loud. I look like a British soldier when I wear this one.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Is that one?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah.

[Malcolm Glauble]

The buttons kind of look a little military.

[Bobby Bones]

I love it. It's double breasted. It's got stripes down it.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Yeah, it is double breasted.

[Bobby Bones]

And you know, she just is not someone that is looking for attention. And so this is definitely an attention wearing cardigan. And so before I left, I was like, hey, you wake. She's like, yeah, I just hit her with a. Oh, my mama. Oh, my good. I look fly. So I did a little Dance in my cardigan. And she's like, shut up. Just leave.

[Malcolm Glauble]

To rub it in a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Just leave. So found a old British cardigan.

[Amy]

Well, she's the one that reminded you of the.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that she knew that one was in there. Or she might have gotten rid of this one and never told me. I don't really know if she does. The thing that has driven her the most crazy is the reemergence of my old Arkansas shirt. We did a bit once where we retired clothes that our wife wanted us to retire.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And so she's like, I hate the shirt because it has holes all in it. The hog is pretty much holed out. It's from probably 99 or 2000 the year, and it's completely eaten up. And it's even worse now. And I thought that we had gotten rid of them as far as they were burned or thrown away, but luckily Scuba Steve had my back and he hit it. And so, like, two years later, he's like, I still got that shirt. And so I wore it home and it was like a relative that she didn't, like, had come back from the dead. So. Yeah.

[Amy]

Does he still have my wedding bouquet?

[Bobby Bones]

I think I do, actually. It's still in the closet if you want it back.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Malcolm Glauble]

He gave him back the cowboy shirt, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Pretty awesome. I felt bad taking those things that you guys love so much.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I did love.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Thank you, Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

I wore it now, and it has a collar. My T shirt that I have a collar. The collar is only, like, connected at two places. And then both nipples are shown because there was, like, a logo over it. The back is almost completely ripped out. And I wear it now mostly just for effect.

[Malcolm Glauble]

What was so funny is when we were in San Francisco, like, we got all dressed up to do interviews and stuff, and then we went back to your hotel, and as soon as we went into your hotel, he goes in the bathroom. Like, I'm talking, like, seconds.

[Amy]

Wait, were you with him?

[Malcolm Glauble]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We had to go record our other podcast. Yeah.

[Malcolm Glauble]

We were all in the room, and then he goes in the bathroom and he comes out, like, seconds later. He's got his, like, torn up T shirt and shorts, like, just like that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't travel anywhere without a cutoff. And again, I'd like to say it's not for exposure of muscles, because I don't have those. Like, I'm in okay shape, but I just like to feel free. Free and easy. Down the road I go, yeah, lots.

[Amy]

Of Dirks A lot of girls are like that, though. Like, we immediately bolt in the door, like, throw on a T shirt, shorts, hair goes in a bun.

[Malcolm Glauble]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Us girls, dudes. Yeah, us girls, Eddie.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Yeah. So yesterday I went to get gas, and I'm going around my car. Cause I was, like, getting trash out of there, and I noticed a nail in my tire. I'm like, oh, my gosh, here we go. So luckily, there's a place, like, right by where I get gas that's like the guy charging me 5 bucks to fix a flat or something if it's, like, where it's supposed to be. And so I'm like, hey, man, I got a nail in my tire. And will you check it out? And he goes over there and gets his little pliers. He's like, dude, I can wiggle this. Like, let's just see if it's even. All the way in pulls it out. It was not all the way in. So it was in my tire, but it hadn't gone through where it's puncturing where air was coming out.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Malcolm Glauble]

So I was like, dude. He's like, you're lucky.

[Amy]

How thick are your tires?

[Bobby Bones]

So I guess there's a depth of rubber. And if it doesn't go to the depth of rubber, it doesn't actually pierce air.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

If you had taken that Jeep to the place where I take my car to get fixed that have found nine nails in it, you need a new.

[Amy]

Muffler, and they would have been punctured all the way through.

[Bobby Bones]

New Jeep. You just need a new Jeep.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah. That's good.

[Malcolm Glauble]

So that was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Play me. Voicemail number one, Ray.

[Amy]

I'm going on a first date on Saturday. I'm a single mom, and it's literally the only night I have to go on dates. So do I have expectations from this man? Like, am I expecting a little gift for a first date? Should he bring it up? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You let me know if you're going on a first date. And I think there could be a lot of Valentine's dates that are first dates. Actually, it's a reason for a guy to even go, hey, do anything on Valentine's Day? It's a slightly easier bridge to get to asking somebody on a date. So I don't think it's crazy that it's a first date, But I do think there should be. It should be treated with, you know, a little more romantic respect, even if it's a first date, because you don't go on A Valentine's Day first date and not acknowledge it's Valentine's Day. You don't have to do stuff that's like third date worthy. But yeah, it's Valentine's Day, so.

[Amy]

Like some flowers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And you should dress up a little more. Not her. I'm sure she'll dress how she wants to dress. But the guy doesn't need to wear an untucked polo shirt and jeans on Valentine's Day. At least tuck it in and wear something at least khaki colored jeans. You have to level it up a little bit all the way around. Okay, so because it is on Valentine's Day. And I don't want to get into the debate of is Valentine's Day stupid? Because yeah, sometimes depending on where you are in your relationship or no, it's not if it is something that you both care about. But yeah, it's elevated expectations from the man. Valentine's Day, even if it's not your thing, should be the day where the guy opens the doors, should do all those chivalry type things when then you.

[Amy]

Go out with him again on a normal day, and then what?

[Bobby Bones]

But Valentine's ain't normal.

[Amy]

I know, but it happens to be your first date, so you're setting the.

[Malcolm Glauble]

The bar.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she should understand, though, this is not a bar being set.

[Amy]

Okay. This is just a day.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a bigger day.

[Amy]

It's a bigger day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Malcolm Glauble]

That's confusing.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. But that's what you get when you go on a Valentine's Day date. The weird thing about going out to dinner on a Valentine's night is you have to pay ahead of time. A lot of times it's like you have to buy a ticket to get a seat. So let's just say I was booking at a local Sonic. We'll say Sonic has a big, fancy Valentine's dinner with inside tables and waiters. I would go a. I'm gonna get a reservation. They're like, okay, it's gonna be $100 to just hold the table. And that a hundred bucks goes towards your dinner. But they don't want people making reservations and not showing up on the busiest night. So just to go out to eat on Valentine's Day costs money before you go to eat. But you do end up spending that money anyway. It's just to make sure you're fine.

[Malcolm Glauble]

That's kind of cool. What? The fact that that money goes to the dinner and it's not like a.

[Bobby Bones]

Fold and you lost it.

[Malcolm Glauble]

That'd be terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Or it's just a lottery. You get there and see if you're drawn to get a table.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I put us in. I sure hope we get chosen for the table. But I think the expectation is it's going to be slightly elevated. I think where the expectation then comes is a slightly lesser expectation if you go on a date, too, because all the things from date one, Valentine's Day date probably aren't gonna happen on date two. Hopefully that's still the kind of person he is, but I don't think it's the same. You have any problem with that?

[Amy]

No, I just worry about, you know, she needs to know the expectations. I worry about what she's thinking life is gonna be like with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't. No, no, no. We don't need to be thinking about that on the first date. What life is going to be like with him.

[Amy]

You don't think about that on the first date.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Like the wedding, what the wedding's gonna be like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think you can have thoughts of, oh, if there are some possibilities. But I don't think.

[Amy]

But I mean. Yeah. Showing up with, like, flowers or a little box of chocolates because it's Valentine's Day. Yeah, that's fine.

[Malcolm Glauble]

How many flowers? Like a bouquet or like, just one little, like, oh, you're my Valentine.

[Bobby Bones]

All is fine.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there's a difference.

[Amy]

You can't go too hard, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, agree. But yeah. Yeah. It's what you can put in your hands.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Rose petals. Rose petals to the car.

[Bobby Bones]

So I think there's a couple things. If you just show up with one flower, that's awesome. If you show up with six flowers, that's awesome. Three's weird. There's, like. You don't even want to do in between. You want to do the simple gesture of I got you a flower or I've got you flowers. But to do, like, three, that's odd. You want to go, got a bouquet's weird. Cause it's not really a thing.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Like a whole bunch.

[Amy]

A bouquet's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Not that you hand somebody when you're taking them on a date. It's not.

[Amy]

Oh, it's not. That's what they sell at the grocery store.

[Malcolm Glauble]

The.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, the mixtures. That's what you give somebody to put in their kitchen or their house or deliver. Yeah, yeah. But I'm saying if you show that flower on a date, though, you take with you.

[Amy]

You take with you on the date.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, if I meet you at the door and I'm like, boom.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Boom. Boom.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Amy, let's go on our date. I may have five roses for you.

[Amy]

And I just bring them with me in the car.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you bring it. Oh, thank you. And you get out of the car.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Or if it's one, you bring you the car.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Malcolm Glauble]

You think that's weird, Amy?

[Amy]

I don't know. I guess I'd be like, come in, come in. Let's put these in some water. And then.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm trying to eat. Let's go, baby. Okay. Well, didn't expect this to be happening so soon.

[Amy]

Okay. To the Kitch.

[Bobby Bones]

And don't end up letting some guy in your house when you've never even been on a date.

[Amy]

So we're letting him pick her up at her house on the first date? Because that's probably not going to happen either.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that happens.

[Amy]

Okay, so you'll let him know where.

[Bobby Bones]

You live, but cannot go in?

[Amy]

He cannot go. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, don't be inviting a dude in on the first date. You don't even know the guy after the first date. Maybe.

[Amy]

Okay, we're acting like if you met him online, you don't really know him. What if it's like, y' all do know each other and this is the first time he's asked you out?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, that's different. Okay, if you know him. Most first dates, you don't have a history with the person or it's like.

[Amy]

A friend of a friend.

[Bobby Bones]

Man. You show up with, like, 40 roses to the door.

[Amy]

Yeah, see, that's too much.

[Malcolm Glauble]

So she has to take him inside.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's gonna eat. He's gonna, like, peel your skin and eat you.

[Amy]

Oh, great.

[Bobby Bones]

If that's the case.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Good luck. Hope. Your Valentine's Day.

[Amy]

Yeah, good luck. Especially if you let him in your kitchen.

[Bobby Bones]

You think it's okay if you've never been on a date?

[Amy]

I was thinking you don't know him.

[Bobby Bones]

And he knocks on the door and you're like, come on in. Hey, while you're here, make yourself comfortable. Take the pants off.

[Amy]

I was thinking, yeah, it's a first date, but I kind of might know him. Because if it's a first date from the Internet, I'm probably not having him pick me up at my house right.

[Bobby Bones]

On Valentine's Day, though.

[Amy]

Maybe that's his tactic.

[Bobby Bones]

He's gonna wait 364 years to tactic you?

[CVS Representative]

Days?

[Amy]

300. 364 days.

[Malcolm Glauble]

The Valentine's Day.

[Amy]

You said years.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, did I say years?

[Amy]

Yes. It's okay. I'm not going to change my policy.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you should. It's special day. It's a special day. All right. There you go. Good luck on that date. I hope it goes awesome. You can set your expectations after date two because Valentine's Day, first date's a fairy tale.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Malcolm Glauble]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. There you go. Tell me something good. That's what it's all about. Thank you. That was. Tell me something good.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] this segment is sponsored by Pfizer.

[Bobby Bones]

There are a million reasons not to get a cancer screening. Life gets busy. Work, family, kids. And it's easy to let these things fall to the bottom of your list. Cancer is one of the hardest health challenges that humanity faces and lots of us here on the show have been affected by cancer. Amy with her mom so what I want to share with you today is that early screening is crucial in the fight against cancer. More than half of people don't take the time to get checked out. Well, Pfizer is fighting to change that. They have launched a new experience on their website to get people the help they need.

Speak to the doctor. It's time for the good news with Bobby Me. Something good. This guy Tim Washburn in Tulsa, he knits beanies all year long to make sure that the homeless have them when it gets cold. All year long that's what he does. He knits and he donates. Five years ago I made a small donation of his leftover hats to the homeless and he was like, man, people really can use these. So now it's a year long mission. So he sells his colorful creations at craft shows to buy more, takes all that profit money and then makes more and then gives them away. At the end of the year he's given away over 700 hats. I bet that dude has some strong hands.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Oh yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like he's just always knitting, knitting with his fingers. But also I bet you how old is Tim? Does it say? I bet if you're. I don't know if he's old, but I bet if you're old, knitting is good for you.

[Amy]

I keep your brain going to get into knitting because of that. Well, I'm older. I mean, my 22 year old niece just started knitting and I'm like, what? You're ahead of me. Like, I just think it's a fun thing to do. Like, it can be very therapeutic and calming, but, like, to your point, good for your brain as well.

[Bobby Bones]

Knitting does not seem fun to me. No, I don't.

[Amy]

When you get to make it and give it to somebody, that's fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you knit us all hats for next time winter comes?

[Amy]

If I learn how to knit.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Well, do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Commit to it right now for us. Do it for us and make us. There are five people in this room.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Beanie.

[Bobby Bones]

We want beanies by the time winter comes around next year.

[Amy]

Should we start with, like, a mini scarf? It just seems like going, oh, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Don'T want a mini scarf.

[Malcolm Glauble]

We want a full size.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're scarves, make the scarf commit. Okay, beanies.

[Amy]

Okay, beanies.

[Bobby Bones]

Beanies all around.

[Amy]

Beanies all around.

[Bobby Bones]

Like next October, mid October. So we want new, fresh beanies. We're giving you a reason now to start.

[Malcolm Glauble]

She's writing it down, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

[Amy]

It might.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. There you go. That's what it's all that was. Tell me something good, Bones. Come on. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Amy]

I have an octogenarian shout out.

[Bobby Bones]

What's an octogenarian?

[Amy]

Someone in their 80s.

[Bobby Bones]

Why is it an octogenarian?

[Amy]

We all have. They're all. Every decade, every age has a thing going.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Oh, generian is like Generation Octo is 8.

[Bobby Bones]

A person who is from 80 to 89 years old.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You act like we knew that. I didn't know that. Oh, am I stupid for not knowing that? No.

[Amy]

Let me tell you how you know.

[Bobby Bones]

When you thought it was like somebody worked on octopuses? Veterinarian.

[Amy]

But you know how when you learn a new word and then you start to see it more places and you must have just skipped over it before and it not registered. Well, my son is being tutored by an octogenarian. And he put that in a text one day. He was like, talking about him and his wife. He's like, oh, just two octogenarians. And I was like, google sounds dirty.

[Malcolm Glauble]

It does.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy]

So I was like, oh, that's how he refers to and his wife. Well, then Savannah Guthrie's mom. She's 84. And some of the new news articles about her, they've referred to as an octogenarian. So now we all know what it is. And my story is about lynn Harris, who's 83 years old. He's an army veteran, and he's been volunteering at St. David's Medical center in Austin, Texas. Shout out. That's where I was born. And he's a baby cuddler for level four nicu.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Wow, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You need to pass a lot of background checks to be a baby cuddler.

[Amy]

Yeah, because his nickname is Uncle Lynn. Oh, is that his nickname at the hospital?

[Bobby Bones]

Why is uncle associated with creepy, though? You know what I mean?

[Amy]

I know, I know, I know, I know. He worked as a medic at VIA in Vietnam, and now he helps calm infants by talking to them and providing.

[Malcolm Glauble]

What? It gets worse.

[Amy]

I just can't trust y'.

[Malcolm Glauble]

All.

[Bobby Bones]

But you didn't say anything to us.

[Amy]

And providing gentle touch. And he saw.

[Malcolm Glauble]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

And what?

[Amy]

He celebrates when the babies are healthy enough to go home.

[Bobby Bones]

He's so old. I didn't matter to me. I'm sure it's great.

[Amy]

It's awesome. And for two decades, he has been volunteering at St. David's if Uncle Frank.

[Bobby Bones]

Was like, I don't know, 47, doing.

[Malcolm Glauble]

This with a mustache, it'd be weirder. Yeah, I should change it to, like, Grandpa Frank, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I agree. Grandpa feels safer.

[Amy]

Grandpa Lynn.

[Bobby Bones]

Great Grandpa Lynn, or whatever. Great feels even safer. Safer. A quadrigenarian.

[Amy]

A four. That's us. We're quadrigenarians. A.

Yep. Sexagenarian.

Five's gotta be quint. Quint?

[Amy]

Oh, just kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

Quin Quadrant. I don't know. I'll never use these terms.

[Amy]

Hey, you never know.

[Bobby Bones]

If I see it, I'll at least know what it means. But it feels like way too many letters when you can say how many. Fifties. Yes.

[Malcolm Glauble]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

[Amy]

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 4. 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts. That means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric.
