Wilmer Valderrama
This live check in is brought to you by State Farm. Por que elvie estarde tu familia ta mien mere se protecion. When we had our first baby, I had it all planned out, right? Everything. Apps, books, todo. Now that baby number two is here, I'm definitely going more with the flow. Hi, I'm Wilmer Valderrama, and I've learned that with family, it's not about being perfect. It's about showing up every single day. Breathe respira, change a diaper, and I guess, repeat like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.
Producer Eddie
It's time for the good news. Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
I'll go first. Caitlyn's parents and her grandpa came to town. I mentioned that in the regular show, but they came in on Friday afternoon. They drove in from Oklahoma and did Friday afternoon evening all day Saturday. They left Sunday morning. And the great thing is her parents obviously want to, like, be around Billy, hold Billy, do stuff with Billy. So I. I was off the hook on, like, doing that stuff. That was nice.
Lunchbox
Little reprieve.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Like, I'd have to do bath time. I don't mind doing bath time. Heck, I like doing bath time a lot of times.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
But it's.
Bobby Bones
They want to do it, have at it. So that's good.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I always like it when they're in town. I wish they lived a lot closer, but at least they live close enough that they can get in the truck and just drive over. So I think it's eight and a half, nine hours. And they love a road trip. Her dad loves a road trip. I asked him on Saturday night, I said, you dread the drive back home? He's like, no, why would I throw some podcasts on? Just get out on the road. I hate driving. So it was really great that they were in town all weekend and wish they could be here more. And it was really great to hear. Grandpa got to meet Billy because he hadn't yet. Because we haven't taken her to Oklahoma yet. So that's.
Amy
You guys hit the pool. Saw you guys. Somebody got.
Bobby Bones
It was either raining or way too hot. No. Oh, you saw Caitlyn's dad's Instagram. And that was a picture from a couple weeks ago.
Amy
Great.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
Thought I had inside information.
Bobby Bones
No, that's. But I think we also posted that picture.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
A couple weeks ago. Yeah. Amy.
Lunchbox
So on Friday, we talked about how it had been 20 years since I've been on the show, and I got a lot of really nice DMs from listeners. And I realized after the video went up that you had asked me how I was feeling about it. And it all felt so crazy that it had been 20 years that I didn't address the feeling, but getting the nice DMs. And even my sister sent me a text, like, talking about when it all started back in 2005, 2006, and meeting you at Culver's and being a listener. So, like, that journey of being a listener and then now being on the show this long, the feeling that comes to mind is grateful. So I want to. I just. In getting the DMs from people and having some of the conversations this weekend and reflecting, I have gratitude for how it all Played out and growing up on the show with y', all, I mean, thinking of all the different stages of life that we've been through.
Bobby Bones
She was 11 when I hired her.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Lunchbox
I know. A lot of growing up, but we've been through, like, so many highs and lows, not just with each other, but with. With our listeners. And that was what was cool to see through some of the notes that I was receiving. So it was just full of gratitude this weekend, thinking of the trajectory I was on. Like, coming up to you at Culver's and being like, are you Bobby Bones? And then giving you an ice cream coupon. Like, I just. I remember my Twitter bio. It probably still says this. I'm just not on there anymore.
Bobby Bones
Not on Twitter anymore.
Lunchbox
I mean, I have it, but I don't. I don't go. I don't post.
Bobby Bones
No even look. No.
Wilmer Valderrama
Oh.
Lunchbox
That's why I just am thinking, I assume my bio is this. Say hi to people. It could change your life because that's. I said hi to Bobby and it changed everything. Like, I. Who knows where I would be, but it wouldn't be right here. So to answer your question, I'm feeling grateful.
Bobby Bones
Our old boss Jay, hit me up today. I just texted Amy and she didn't respond. I said, no. You texted a teenage boy?
Lunchbox
Yeah, and he's probably gonna call the cops.
Bobby Bones
That's the guy. That's the kid who has Amy's old number. So I sent him your new number. I saw.
Lunchbox
He texted me. Yeah, he texted too. That was one of the notes. And I thanked him for just taking a chance on me and he fired back. That was all Bobby.
Bobby Bones
So can't argue.
Lunchbox
I mean. And then he said. I did. He did say it was all Bobby. I did see what he saw, though. And I'm like, I don't know that you did right away because you had to. You had to fight for me.
Bobby Bones
So literally.
Amy
Really?
Bobby Bones
In an alley?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Kaylee Jo
Oh, wow.
Amy
Knives, everything.
Bobby Bones
No, no. We made a rule before. No weapons. Fists only. Yeah, that's cool. Eddie, you.
Amy
Yeah, like, so last night my brother called and usually it's like, oh, man, this is going to be a long conversation. Like, I'll call him back whenever I have time. But yesterday I was like, you know what? I have about 30 minutes. We ended up talking for about an hour and it was just a catch up. Like, I hadn't talked to my brother in a while. And it's just funny because the way he keeps it track of me is by watching YouTube videos and he Cuts. The first thing he says, do you have high blood pressure, dude? And you weren't going to call me? I was like, well. I was like, well, it's kind of. I told him all about the high blood pressure, and since he had a stroke, he's like, dude, you have to be careful about high blood pressure. And he's like, where are your headaches? And because, like, you know, I didn't tell him about it. He heard it on the show. He's like, dude, you got to take this serious. So he gave me a whole lecture on my salt intake and all that stuff. So we talked for a little bit. It was good to hear from him. And he says he's got about three days of vacation, so he's going to try to come down and see me at some point or maybe go down to Texas when we're all down there.
Bobby Bones
How's he doing?
Amy
He's doing really good. He's doing good. He's even. He lives in Pennsylvania, and we're all from Texas. And he moved to Pennsylvania a few years ago, and I don't know why. He just kind of wanted a change of scenery. And now he said, I'm kind of thinking about moving back. But nothing for sure. Just the thought is in his head. I'm like, dude, that's cool. Like, yeah, because everyone misses him. My mom's in Texas, my sister's in Texas. And everyone's like, he's so far away in Pennsylvania. So I don't know. That could be cool. But he's doing really well. Like, his body has recovered from the stroke, which is unbelievable. He says that once in a while he still goes numb. Like, the left side of his foot goes numb or the left leg goes numb a little bit, but for the most part, he's. He's back.
Bobby Bones
Can he be active?
Amy
Yeah, he's scared of running. He says, just. Because if it goes numb in the middle of a run, he eats it. But, yeah, I mean, he's pretty active. It's just amazing. Like, his strokeiversary, what he calls it, was two weeks ago. And it's just crazy. We talked about that. Like, just how crazy that time was when it all happened because he had a stroke. Then my dad died, and he's like, I just can't believe that I am where I am today. Like, and where I was two years ago, I was in a hospital, like, thinking, like, I couldn't move in my left side and thinking like, this going to be my life forever. And now he's good. So it Was a good conversation and he was talking to me how he talked to like some of his high school friends. They, they did a three way phone conversation which was interesting. He's like, I hadn't talked to these guys in forever. And we did a three, three fo. Three way conversation on phone. Some guy lives in la, another guy lives in Jersey. And I was like, that's cool. I need to start like calling my friends, old friends, college buddies, stuff like that just to kind of see how everyone's doing, man.
Bobby Bones
When three way calling was introduced to us, earth shattering.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We were young. You called two people at the same time. You didn't even need to talk to two people at the same time. You just did it.
Amy
Bobby, you there?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm here, I'm here. And you click again. Yep, got it.
Caller or Guest
It works.
Bobby Bones
Chrissy there.
Caller or Guest
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Hey, we're all on.
Lunchbox
Was this just a girl thing or did guys do it where they would call someone on three way but they didn't know the other person was on and so they could listen in on the conversation?
Caller or Guest
Oh, that's dirty.
Bobby Bones
You could do that. But you had to be so good at the execution of three way because as soon as it started ringing you had to hit and hold it down long enough toward connect to the other one but not hang up without there being a click and you had to beat them answering. So yeah, I guess guys did it too, but never was to like get the juice.
Lunchbox
Oh, ours was not nice.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Oh really?
Lunchbox
I mean sometimes it might be able to help out a friend like you
Amy
thought you're trying to like frame some or like say talk about them, set someone up.
Lunchbox
Oh, I'm not saying it was a common practice, but it was definitely done amongst girls.
Wilmer Valderrama
Dang.
Bobby Bones
You guys always find a way.
Kaylee Jo
Yep.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Caller or Guest
Yeah. Today at 2:15 my sister and her three kids land at the airport. They're coming to visit for the week. So just looking forward to that. Having cousins in the house and pure chaos and just more family time.
Bobby Bones
So four people coming in?
Caller or Guest
Yeah, four people.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah. Where does everybody sleep?
Caller or Guest
That's a good question. I think I need to buy. My sister will sleep in the guest room and then the kids will sleep with my kids in their room. But I only have four beds in there so I got to get two air mattresses that will fit in the room because I have a queen size one. But now that my youngest kid has a bed, the queen mattress won't fit on the floor in there. So I got to go buy like two Twin air mattresses. Air mattresses? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Are there sizes of air mattresses?
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But if when you're buying air mattress to sleep on, you're not buying pool air mattresses. These are actually in home like sleeping air mattresses, right?
Caller or Guest
Yeah. Yeah.
Kaylee Jo
Okay.
Caller or Guest
Let me tell you, they have gotten real nice.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Caller or Guest
There's some that you don't need to plug it into the wall. You just turn this little lever and bumps it up. Yeah, it's like a built in battery.
Bobby Bones
There's one of those that we have for Caitlyn. Got it at first when she was pregnant. Those are medicine balls. Those air balls. Big. I forget what they're called.
Amy
Yeah, the ones you sit on or
Bobby Bones
whatever, but turns it up. There's another one, a little cheaper one. You just hand pump it back in our day.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yeah.
Amy
You had to squeeze it with your
Producer Eddie
teeth a little bit.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Caller or Guest
Oh, that was terrible.

Hello. Hello.
Producer Eddie
I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I sat down with a lone Cohen, who leads research and development at ufc, to discuss the complexity of using technology to analyze fight data. With kick to the head, it makes contact with the outside of my arm, which I brought up. In our world, that's. That's a blocked strike. Yeah, but teaching a computer what exactly that means and when and how, like when my arm is up, that's a block. When my arm is down and hits my shoulder, that's not. It's those nuances that proved incredibly difficult for machines to be able to handle for a very, very long time. That is until IBM entered the octagon. Listen to the full conversation@IBM.com Smart Talks. This is Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers

But nothing prepares you for that moment when you're building a crib and you realize you're building a future. Familia is everything to me. The laughs, the chaos, the unconditional love.

Be present and lean into the people. They've got your back. It is fruta. Like a good neighbor. State Farm is there.
Bobby Bones
Let's take this call from Kaylee Jo, if that's okay. Raymond. Hey, Kaylee.
Kaylee Jo
Joe, Bobby. Good morning. Good morning, studio.
Caller or Guest
Morning.
Bobby Bones
What's going on?
Kaylee Jo
Hey, guys. I was just calling for a Team Tennessee portable series for you.
Bobby Bones
Hey, hold on one second. You're like cutting out.
Kaylee Jo
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Hey, question. Is this our phone line Scuba? Because this happens sometimes.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Now this is, this is the art of technology. Unfortunately, this new system that we've had for the last couple of years, it's like based on like IP address, Internet stuff. Because I've tried to get it fixed for the building and this is just the way it is. Unfortunately.
Bobby Bones
Like, we had a caller.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Oh, I know.
Bobby Bones
We're doing an interview. I was trying to get information to make some money. And it was like, oh, I know.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Yeah. The old school system, the telos.
Kaylee Jo
Can you hear me better now?
Bobby Bones
Oh, there you are. Kaylee Jo, it's not you. I'm just venting because our system is so Internet based that for a second you were chopping, but it wasn't your phone bars, so. Okay, back over to Kaylee Joe. Kayla. Joe, what's going on?
Kaylee Jo
Okay, so Team Tennessee. The boys finished Division 2. They were again undefeated in district and state champions. We went four and two in the World Series and placed fifth overall. And our boys were awarded the 2026 World Series Sportsmanship award.
Bobby Bones
Is that the team I made the video for? We all made the video for.
Kaylee Jo
Yes, this. That's why I'm calling you back. I had to give you an update.
Bobby Bones
Love it.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Cool.
Bobby Bones
So 4 and 2, did they have fun?
Kaylee Jo
Oh, yeah. We had a home run hit for you like you said. Connor Mosley came out with the home run for it. The boys played with every bit they had. They gave it their all. We made a lot of fun memories and, you know, being there was an accomplishment in itself. Our. Our goal for the boys this year was state champions. We knew they had it in them that just. Or honestly. Yeah. District and champions. But to be in World Series and just to make that memory that these boys will never forget was something incredible to witness.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's awesome. I'm glad they had fun. Why did they get the sportsmanship award? Were they all handshakes and butt pats and the other teams weren't?
Kaylee Jo
Yeah.
Producer Eddie
Nice.
Lunchbox
Pretty much.
Bobby Bones
All right.
Amy
Yeah, that easy.
Bobby Bones
Nailed it. Go out there. All right, Kayla, Joe. Well, thank you very much. Tell them we said we're proud of them and hopefully do they stay together as a team or do they age out? Like, what's happening with them now?
Kaylee Jo
Majority of the boys will move up together. Now the next stage will be kid pitch. So the majority. I think we have at least 10 out of the 12 that will move up. So this crew will stay together for a long time. And you'll be hearing them. You'll be hearing about these boys from Adams, Tennessee for quite a while. I guarantee it.
Bobby Bones
All right, let us know next year. Okay?
Kaylee Jo
I certainly will. I appreciate Yalls video so much, and I wanted you to know you were the grand finale in my video because you were so hyped. And as soon as the boys saw it, they said body bones. They were pumped. And I really appreciated you doing that for us. It meant a lot.
Bobby Bones
You're welcome. You're welcome. Well, Kayla Joe, hope You have a great week. I really appreciate you calling.
Kaylee Jo
Thank you, guys. Y' all have a good week, too.
Lunchbox
I think she said happy birthday.
Amy
Happy birthday. Lunch.
Caller or Guest
Okay. I couldn't. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Thank you, Kayla, Joe, Scooby, Steve.
Matt Rogers or Bowen Yang
Do you.
Bobby Bones
I. I want to jump out of the building.
Caller or Guest
Oh, I'll go with you.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Can I hold your hand as we jump together?
Bobby Bones
I just want to jump off the ledge and. Just drives me crazy.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Oh, yeah, it does. And the real answer is that we've just downgraded to save money. And so this is what we get.
Bobby Bones
Downgraded to what?
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
Well, because telos was the old school
Amy
system of the phones.
Tech Support/Phone System Guy
I'm sure you're familiar with that. It was a stronger connection. And so this has a few variables. It's the Internet, either on our end or their end is what affects the calls. And that's why sometimes they sound amazing, even better than the telos. But then there are moments like this where it sounds like, yeah, I just want.
Bobby Bones
I just want to jump out of the building.
Amy
It would sound better if you just called them on your phone.
Lunchbox
Yeah, like what we just don't have. It's not. It's not just like a normal.
Bobby Bones
Let's just call a call from Eddie Sauce. A line.
Amy
Yeah, My burner phone speaker.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, we're gonna go over now to a game of celeb on the head between Amy and I. And so we're not gonna tell you who's on our heads. We will tell you at the end, though, if you don't get it here,
Amy
but here you go.
Bobby Bones
This is that. Go ahead. Okay. If you did not catch it, Amy's was Bono, and mine was Ray Romano. And people in the comments section on YouTube were very upset at two things. One, that Amy did not know Ray Romano was white, and it led me astray.
Lunchbox
Well, no, but. Because you got clarification.
Bobby Bones
No. Then you said, just very tan.
Lunchbox
I feel like he's tan.
Amy
So what the question was, like, I
Producer Eddie
said, is he white?
Bobby Bones
And he goes, no.
Amy
And you were like.
Lunchbox
She said, sorry, I was.
Bobby Bones
And then you guys had to go like, no, he's white.
Amy
Right?
Bobby Bones
And then he's very white tan. And he's not even that tan.
Lunchbox
Is he not.
Bobby Bones
He's Italian.
Lunchbox
He's Italian, but he's not that tan. Italian people are sometimes tan. Anyway, his darker features and where people
Bobby Bones
were kind of busting my chops was I said Bono had short hair, and he does, but they were, like, early in his career, he had long hair, but that's not the question.
Amy
Yeah, that was like in the 80s. Yeah. When he had a ponytail.
Bobby Bones
She's like, does he have long hair? I was like, no.
Amy
And he really doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Right.
Matt Rogers or Bowen Yang
I looked.
Amy
He hasn't in the last like 10 years.
Bobby Bones
I looked. He doesn't. But I didn't know. And I said no. But I think at a point he may have. But people are like, no, no, he had long hair in the 80s, so there's that.
Kaylee Jo
But that's it.
Caller or Guest
All right.
Lunchbox
Don't worry. I cringe at the fact that I said that he wasn't white.
Amy
So I know it's funny, but I
Lunchbox
have to live with that.
Bobby Bones
You do have to live with that.
Lunchbox
Thank you.
Caller or Guest
There you go.
Bobby Bones
That's what it's all about.
Producer Eddie
It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good.
Caller or Guest
A woman and her 100 pound dog, Sable decided to go hike a mountain in Pennsylvania. They get almost to the top and the dog is in distress, needs help. So she has to call the volunteer fire department. They come up and they carry the dog four hours down to the bottom of the mountain.
Bobby Bones
So they couldn't get a vehicle to the dog.
Caller or Guest
Right. And so they had to put it on a stretcher and carry it for four hours.
Bobby Bones
Well, yeah, if I take Stanley, my bulldog, on a walk about a block, that happens.
Amy
Stretch your time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, about a block. And so then I have to carry him back about a block. So now we just go about half a block and then turn around. But that's a whole different situation.
Caller or Guest
Is this a bat? I mean, can I just say bad idea by the lady.
Bobby Bones
I don't know what kind of dog that is.
Caller or Guest
It's a senior dog, 100 pounds. And you're trying to hike it up a mountain.
Wilmer Valderrama
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I would imagine they've done it before, though, if I'm just guessing that she knows this trail and this dog has done it before. And I'm looking at the dog and it looks like, I don't know, kind of like a mix.
Lunchbox
What. What makes a dog senior?
Bobby Bones
Probably over eight, over eight.
Lunchbox
Okay. So like my labradoodle is over eight or nine and I would think maybe I could take her on a hike like that. And she's about 80 pounds.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. A dog is considered senior, 7 to 8 years old.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And it's a pretty large breed, obviously, like lunch was saying, I would think that she's done this similarly and nothing bad happened and the dog probably was just not in a good place.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm not going to hate on her for taking her dog for a walk. That's what we're doing now. We're hating on people for just too
Caller or Guest
far up a mountain. Seems a lot for 100 pound dog, man.
Bobby Bones
How much you weigh?
Caller or Guest
I 170.
Bobby Bones
You go up mountains?
Caller or Guest
Yeah, but I'm different.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Caller or Guest
Built different.
Bobby Bones
All right, there you go. That's what it's all about.
Producer Eddie
It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.
Amy
Tom McK is from California, and he works at a senior living community. But here's the deal. He is celebrating working 50 years at this place without taking a single sick day.
Bobby Bones
I felt bad for him because, you know, he still went in sick sometimes.
Lunchbox
Well, he must not have, because you can't work at a facility like that.
Bobby Bones
You're telling me he didn't get sick? He had to have.
Lunchbox
I don't think you would want to put vulnerable elderly people.
Bobby Bones
Well, you may not have worked with them. He may worked in the kitchen or something.
Lunchbox
Oh, so he's managing their food.
Bobby Bones
You guys are making this worse and worse. I would just think 50 years. That's great. I was a big perfect attendance guy a lot of my life. 50 years.
Amy
That's a long time without calling sick.
Lunchbox
I mean, maybe he. If he ever got sick occasionally, it was on the weekend when he was good for him.
Bobby Bones
I just feel bad for the days he wasn't feeling good. I know because I'm a street guy.
Caller or Guest
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
You know, he's nine years into this.
Matt Rogers or Bowen Yang
I can't.
Bobby Bones
I can't end the street. What's his name again?
Amy
His name is Tom McKivick.
Bobby Bones
50 years on the job, never missing a day. That is what it's all about.
Producer Eddie
That was. Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
I'm U.S. transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. We all seem to be in a rush these days, from work to driving our kids around. But when you're behind the wheel, please do not speed. A few minutes saved by going faster is never worth the risk. So follow the speed limit, enjoy the drive, maybe bring some snacks for the kids.

This is Hoda Kotbi from Joy 101 with Hoda Kotb. You know when you walk in a room and you take a big whiff and it sort of smells like home? Well, cleaning isn't just about making a house look clean. It's about how a home feels afterward. And fragrance can change the energy in a room. Fabuloso is known for that. Bold, unmistakable fragrance. A fresh smelling home can feel more vibrant, joyful and welcoming. There's something so satisfying about walking back into a room after you've cleaned it and noticing the scent make your world more fabuloso.
