[Bobby Bones]

Let's go around the room. Amy, give me something good from the last 24. You could even do weekend oh mine.

[Amy]

Is 100% my my power.

[Eddie]

Like yeah, I'd say that works.

[Amy]

I I feel like I have much gratitude for light. I don't have to light any candles. I don't have to huddle up by my gas fire. I don't have to worry about dying from, you know, gases.

[Nav Green]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

The mixture. The grab bag.

[Amy]

The grab bag of things. So I am just very grateful for that. And my cat sleep, like, because even when we were. My friends were kind enough to take me and my kids and animals in, my cat was confused. And like clockwork at 3am she would meow every night. So I wasn't getting good sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway, did you find that people didn't want to take you in because you had animals 100.

[Amy]

I was getting text messages, really nice ones from friends of like, please, like, feel free to stay with us. Only problem is can't bring the cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably allergic. People are allergic. No, no.

[Amy]

The. I. No, it was. People don't like cats. If they were allergic. That would totally make sense. But this was a. I'd be fine with it. But my husband really is like an anti cat person.

[Eddie]

Oh. You know, just doesn't like cats.

[Bobby Bones]

So they weren't gonna let you stay if you brought your cat?

[Amy]

Yeah. I think they were like, cats are fine. She has a fur coat and it. Cats really can fend for themselves as long as they got food in their litter box. Like, they. They are pretty good. So I just was shocked at how many people are cat haters out there. To be clear, Bobby and Caitlin were willing to take the cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, we have a bunch of places we could have put the animal. We have animals, and my wife's allergic to the dogs. So we have protocol in place on where animals can and cannot go. But that means there's a lot of places that they're able to be.

[Eddie]

So cat would be tough. I'll be honest. Oh, even for you, it'd be a little tough.

[Amy]

This is what it's like. Because say, Eddie's wife was like, hey, my friend needs somewhere to go. Eddie might be like, yeah, they can come.

[Eddie]

But those cats guys stink up a little bit.

[Amy]

You know, My cat doesn't stink.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they say your cat was okay in the house without you guys? Like, because we called Dr. Josie, who's our friend and our vet, and we said, hey, what's the deal with the dogs? Because she's like, Eller is fine. Colder. Because she's part husky.

[Camille Stewart]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Because she's.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, yeah, she's used to that thick, thick snow. Thick, thick coat. So we would leave her at the house a little more so she could run around. But she's like, Stanley needs to be where it's warmer. I wonder if cats were like that.

[Amy]

I feel like my cat's fur is so thick. She probably Would have been fine, but I just would have felt weird leaving her. And thankfully our friend that took us in, they have a cat. They were like, yes, but bring the cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Was your house all messed up from not being there?

[Amy]

Well, we just left in a hurry because I feel like it was around 5pm the night we were about to spend the night, another night in the cold. And then my son was like, mom, I can see my breath and I'm cold. And I was like, I'm a horrible parent. Because we had offers, but I just didn't want to inconvenience anybody. And I kept thinking, the power's gonna come back. The power's come back. We're gonna pack up and leave and then it's gonna come back. But it wasn't coming back. And we started to get news reports that it was going to be a minute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they put out a post. The company, the electric company is like, this is generally when people are going to get their power back dependent on zip code. And some people were getting it back that day, some people not for another week. Right.

[Amy]

So we were in the later category. And I thought, well, let's pack up, let's go. And it was about to get dark because it was 5 o' clock and sunset was at 5:09. And then like pack everything up because once it gets dark you can't. We're like, come out. No, but we have to like light candles to see. And I don't want us walking around the house with candles trying to pack. And then we set the house on fire. So I mean, obviously we had little flashlights too. But I don't know, we were lighting candles. That just seemed more like the vibe. Were y' all doing that when you were there?

[Bobby Bones]

No candles, but we did lots of fireplaces. Multiple fireplaces.

[Amy]

Oh, see, I just have one.

[Bobby Bones]

And then my wife would go, this smells way more like gas than it should. And I forget to open the fluent.

[Eddie]

Oh, the flap thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that was.

[Amy]

Oh, you have to open a flue for the gas fire.

[Household Member]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Household Member]

Or else you trap the gas.

[Bobby Bones]

The gas stays in.

[Eddie]

You want it all to go up.

[Household Member]

And you want it to go out.

[Eddie]

Out of the house.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're lucky. You got to get out.

[Amy]

Wait a second. I don't think. I don't have to do anything like that for my.

[Bobby Bones]

Must always stay open.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess ours is like a little piece of like a metal.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know what that is. Because when I had a wood burning fireplace with gas, like I would have to open that.

[Bobby Bones]

But the gas needs to go out of your house.

[Amy]

Yeah, mine must already be hooked up. It's gotta be.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's gotta be automatic.

[Amy]

It's gotta be. But now you're making me change.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no hooked up.

[Amy]

I mean, it's already gotta be, you know, good to go is what I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

So then yours never closes. So it's cold coming through.

[Amy]

Because, listen, when I had. I've only. I've not been in this house for that long. And I switched out the fireplace as part of the renovation. So I haven't had this particular setup for a lot. Like, I don't use it often, is my point. So maybe I have a little more to learn. But I've never opened or shut anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's probably a you thing more than it is. You have a crazy new.

[Amy]

Yeah, but the people, when they came and installed it, they didn't tell me.

[Bobby Bones]

That, because I think that's known. It doesn't matter. Listen, I'm not the expert, okay?

[Household Member]

Yeah. Maybe you have a special one.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Let's just leave it with.

[Household Member]

There might be.

[Bobby Bones]

I wouldn't leave it at that. Because if you need it again, I don't want you to trap a bunch of gas.

[Amy]

Heck, no. But to Caitlin's point, similarly, I was smelling lots of.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're gonna smell some because it's a gas fireplace. Like, there will be gas.

[Amy]

I mean, I was running it for hours. And we're fine. So clearly it's going somewhere. Great.

[Eddie]

Great.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, good. I'm glad you're okay, and I'm glad you got a good story there.

[Amy]

I'm gonna hit the fireplace guy. It reminds me of the time when I had to call the fireplace guy because I thought birds were trapped in my chimney. And it was. I had set my screensaver on my TV to, like, a nature background, and it had birds chirp, part of the scene scenery. And he came and looked, and he's like, man, there are no birds stuck in your chimney.

[Bobby Bones]

Did he hear the birds?

[Amy]

Yeah, we all heard them. I wasn't crazy. Like, I had other people in my house. Like, Stevenson was like, yeah, what's that noise? But I just never had set it to a. Also, I had just hung up that tv. It was a new tv, so new screensavers. I just, you know.

[Eddie]

And nobody called you crazy, by the way.

[Amy]

New scenarios.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, I'm glad you have a good. Tell me something.

[Amy]

Like, my eyes are watering uncontrollably right now, and is it because my body's.

[Eddie]

That's what it is the gas.

[Amy]

Okay, so, yeah, tell me something good, Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good.

[Eddie]

Well, this is kind of, like, bad, but then it's better than I thought it was going to be. So I told you guys that I had a busted pipe outside. It was my faucet. I went out there, and it looked like a whole frozen waterfall coming out of the faucet. I knew it was pro. It was going to be a problem. So we called a plumber. He checked it out. It's a busted pipe. And I was like, oh, my gosh, this is going to be thousands of dollars. It ended up being $700, which is better than I thought. And there was no damage inside the wall, which I thought, man, that water was gonna be all inside the wall. We're gonna have to reconstruct the side of the house. Not the case.

[Bobby Bones]

So tell me something good based on expectations of it being really bad.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because I thought it was gonna be so, so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that looked pretty bad coming out of your house, dude.

[Eddie]

And then. And then, you know, we were out of town, so I didn't really know what I was dealing with, so my wife had to deal with it. But then I'd call the guy on the phone, and I couldn't see what he was talking about. My mind was spinning, like, it was gonna be so much money.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. I bet you we have $70,000 in damage on our property.

[Eddie]

At least.

[Bobby Bones]

No. And pull pool busted. It's completely drained. Oh, boy. Trees have crashed. Parts of at least $70,000 in damage.

[Amy]

I'm getting my tree quote today, so we should.

[Bobby Bones]

Ours isn't just trees. Like, again, our pool is completely busted and has drained itself out because of the pipes busting. That's.

[Eddie]

That is so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, it sucks. Could be a lot worse. At least we have power. Imagine being money and no power.

[Eddie]

No. If you told me $70,000, dude, I would walk anywhere, and I wouldn't stop and I wouldn't look back.

[Amy]

Pack your bags, like, see, I'm going.

[Eddie]

To go to the store and get some milk and never come back.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's the low estimate, too, sadly.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm just going to be thankful.

[Eddie]

Oh, is that you? Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I was just following up your story there, so.

[Amy]

Yeah, Eddie, you're 700 bucks. Not that bad.

[Eddie]

Not that bad. That's why it's. Tell me something good. Yeah.

[Amy]

Dang, Bobby.

[Eddie]

Sorry, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's fine.

[Eddie]

No.

[Amy]

Is this where that saying comes in?

[Eddie]

With like, easy come, easy go.

[Commercial Announcer]

No, trust me, it ain't easy come.

[Bobby Bones]

It ain't easy calm. It is easy go.

[Amy]

More money, more problems.

[Household Member]

Oh, that could be it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's all good. I just. Kaylan was like, the pool's completely empty because I left for a couple of days. Eddie and I went to California to go and do some interviews. And so I was like, it is. Then I got home and it's completely drained.

[Amy]

Where'd it go?

[Bobby Bones]

Into the backyard.

[Eddie]

That's. That's really bad.

[Household Member]

What are you thinking?

[Amy]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness. We were talking about logs. Dude, you didn't throw logs in there. Remember? Amy was talking about her boyfriend.

[Amy]

It's not that it keeps it from freezing, but it'll keep it from. Well, it helps absorb some of the stuff. So, like, if you have pool tiles, it'll keep the tiles from cracking because the log takes on some of the things, so it'll still freeze, but.

[Eddie]

So the crack in your pool was.

[Bobby Bones]

So bad that all the water, it's all out, bro. And it's basically like flooded back there. That's not good. No, I know it's not good. Yes, yes, I'm familiar with the not goodness of it, but I'm in a.

[Eddie]

Bad mood for you, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not in a bad mood about it.

[Eddie]

I know I am because I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

Do anything about it.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

It's one of those things you can't control. It's annoying. Amy, I'll send you a picture of the pool because again, I have a pool. I never thought I'd have a pool. That's what. There was one kid in our whole town that had an above ground pool and he was like the rich kid. So the fact that I have a pool is crazy in itself. But if you look at that picture I sent you, that's ice on the bottom and it's completely. That's like when it's five, six, drained.

[Amy]

Okay. I texted about my fireplace. I have a vent free unit.

[Eddie]

Ah, okay.

[Household Member]

There you go.

[Amy]

Y' all were worrying me. I'm like, I poisoned us.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean, event free unit?

[Household Member]

It means as a special connection that takes the gas out.

[Eddie]

So it was special.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you are special.

[Eddie]

Wow, Amy. There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

I think my. Tell me something good is going to be. We got Internet back yesterday, finally.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't have Internet. You don't have to like.

[Eddie]

No, that's good things.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

You see the pool, Amy?

[Eddie]

We just moved on.

[Amy]

Well, I texted you, just sent me the picture. What am I. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, it sucks.

[Eddie]

I can't imagine going out there and looking at that and there's just being no water.

[Household Member]

Being like, where'd that go?

[Amy]

Well, it's like, what is in there is, like, frozen, and it's like concrete.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Household Member]

Did he send you a picture of his Internet, though? That's pretty cool. He got.

[Bobby Bones]

I have Internet back. And so I was able to watch Roll Rumble.

[Eddie]

Oh, good.

[Bobby Bones]

So there was no football, but there was a lot of sports, so I was able to watch a lot of sports Saturday. Yeah, I guess I got Internet back Saturday. So I watched Royal Rumble. It wasn't that good. It's my favorite event. I like it better than WrestleMania. And it wasn't that good. They had it in the Middle East.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. During the day, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, because it was so late there. It was in Riada. How you say it, Mike? Yeah, I think so. Saudi Arabia. Is that where that was? I didn't know it was in the Middle east, though. So it was like 3 o' clock in the morning by the end of it there.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Little overrated, that was. And then I watch Arkansas. I could be by Kentucky, and that sucked.

[Commercial Announcer]

Dude.

[Amy]

I most texted you during the game when y' all were coming back, and that guy dunked after, like, three technical fouls. And.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, guy. Pretty quick.

[Amy]

30 seconds.

[Bobby Bones]

Why were you watching it?

[Amy]

My boyfriend had it on, so. But. And I almost texted. I was like, that dunk was crazy. And then the fouls, like, everything. It was just a really crazy, like.

[Bobby Bones]

It'S a crazy game.

[Amy]

The 10 minutes I saw was a little nuts. And I thought, oh, yeah, they're coming back. Like, this is all the energy. And it was cool. But then I thought, I don't know what's gonna happen. I don't want to text you. And I don't. I don't. Even though it was a. It was a high, but I know what my text to be, the reason why.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it would have been in my mind. Yeah, it would have been.

[Narrator]

Trust me.

[Eddie]

My text has many times been the reason why they've lost.

[Amy]

I literally had it typed out because I was like, dang. Because I really was entertained by what was happening, and that's not often in sports. And then I just slowly deleted and put my phone down.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you. Riyadh is, how you say it, the capital of Saudi Arabia. I guess I'll remember that now. I didn't know what the capital would be. It's Pretty. They built a. Like a arena just for the event. And so the big thing was they were coming in and having an arena, a wrestling event where slave labor had built an arena. I don't know if that's true or not. Yeah, it looked empty. Yeah, it wasn't full, especially during the first half of it. It ended up filling up later. Probably made people, threw them in jail.

[Eddie]

Are they trying. Are they trying to, like, expand it?

[Bobby Bones]

Saudi Arabia, I think Saudi Arabia paid a bunch of money for them to come more than they're trying to expand into Saudi Arabia. I think Saudi Arabia paid a bunch of money.

[Eddie]

Makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The lunchbox yours?

[Household Member]

Yeah. So last week I told you my floors were down in my downstairs. And now it is official. My boys have moved back into their room. They have their own beds. It's not three boys sleeping on one mattress on the floor. Their beds are. We built the beds this weekend, and they are sleeping in their own beds. And it feels amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Or everything's good.

[Household Member]

We got power. We don't have Internet or cable that is still out. And yeah, so that's. We got heat, we got power. Half my neighborhood still doesn't have power. So I feel bad for those people. So it's a little awkward when they walk by and they're like, oh, do you have power? Yeah, we got power. Oh, we still don't have power. Sorry, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It is weird that you can have a house, because that's happening everywhere. A house with power. It's almost like a tornado hits. It can hit one or two houses and then leave two houses right next to it completely untouched. So the power will come on. You'll see a couple houses, couple down, couple more on. And then if you have the neighborhood and you have, like, the one house that doesn't have power, they're not going to rush to come back to you because they're working on some other place that has multiple homes with no power. So, yeah, it's a wild situation we're living in right now.

[Amy]

Then there's the generator people, which is fine. We went to dinner on Friday night and ran into these people, and they were talking about, oh, yeah, we haven't had power. We don't have power. And, like, we're talking five minutes and we had all lost power at some point. I still didn't have it back at that point. And then somewhere in the conversation, she's like, oh, well, we've had a generator.

[Bobby Bones]

The whole time that's not. Not having power.

[Amy]

Yeah. She's like, they have the kind where it kicks in right when the. Because it's hooked up to their gas line or whatever. And I was like, wait, you just sat here with us in misery for five minutes?

[Bobby Bones]

Stolen valor.

[Amy]

She goes, oh, I should clarify.

[Bobby Bones]

You're doing a GoFundMe for them so they can have like.

[Amy]

I was thinking, oh, maybe they're in a hotel or I don't know where they are. She's like, well, technically, we haven't had to leave.

[Bobby Bones]

There's videos of outside of hotels because a lot of the hotels have opened up to people with animals, even if they don't normally take animals. And then outside the hotels, just dog poop everywhere.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, disgusting. People pick up after your dogs.

[Bobby Bones]

Just dog poop central, man. Yeah, Rough. There you go. That's. Tell me that's a weird way to end. That too, is also on something sad. That's. Tell me something good. Thank you, everybody.

It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

As a birthday present. Wendy in Ohio got a bouquet, but not flowers. It was 60 Ohio lottery tickets. And so she got it. She's a little scratch. They were all $2 tickets. So $120 spent on the lottery tickets. In total, two bucks each. Do the math. She had for $20,000.

[Eddie]

Wow, that's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wendy says she immediately freaked out and she wasn't with the friends when she was scratching them because there were 60. She's not going to sit and scratch in front of everybody. So she took him home and scratched them. And they called. Everybody was like, I want $20,000.

[Eddie]

You gotta double check that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, dude, that's awesome. That's from people. Good story. That is what it's all about.

[Eddie]

This is in the middle of the winter storm, and there's an infant baby that needs to go to the hospital. Parents are freaking out, so they call the ambulance to come pick up the baby. The baby's in the ambulance, but the ambulance on the middle of the road starts getting stuck, spinning, cannot go anywhere. So they call a snowplow driver. His name is Joe estes. He's about 10 minutes away. He says, I'll be right there. And he starts plowing the roads while the ambulance falls behind. And that's the only way they can get to the hospital to save the baby.

[Bobby Bones]

They just follow the snowplow as he.

[Eddie]

Plowed the way to the hospital.

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. But man, the driver had to be like, snowplow, can you go any faster?

[Amy]

They do go pretty slow.

[Eddie]

It's kind of a limit.

[Bobby Bones]

That's cr. That's great, though.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. Good job. That is what it's all about.
