[Geico Gecko]

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know. Today, people who switch their car insurance to geico save about $900 a year. Experts are calling that nice to know. But also plants can hear when bees buzz. My ficus just heard that. And finally, animal experts have confirmed that goats have regional accents. I'm getting a hint of Irish there.

[Lunchbox]

It feels good to get good news.

[Bobby Bones]

It feels Good to Gecko, it's time for the good news. Tell me something good around the room. No, Amy shed to leave. Although she did text me a minute ago.

[Eddie]

Said driving alone?

[Bobby Bones]

No, Stevenson's with her.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I said, how's it going? She said, driving. Nothing to report yet. He's nervous but excited. That's super fun to get to go, like, run in state at a university. Yeah, a big, like, D1 track and field.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Complex. That's awesome. Yeah. I hope he does well. Tell me something good. Let's go, Morgan.

[Morgan]

It was a really good weekend this weekend. I had gotten all my work done on Friday, so I just had Saturday and Sunday to do a lot of fun stuff. We went and played sand volleyball and made some perfume and cologne for our wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

You made perfume and cologne?

[Morgan]

Yeah. So there's a lot of people who get, like, special scents that they just wear on their wedding and then they'll wear it again for special things later on. And so instead of, like, just going to buy one, there's a place in town where you can go make your own. So we decided to go make our own.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Morgan]

Which was a fun experience.

[Bobby Bones]

What's that? Is that expensive?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean, it's definitely on the pricier side, but it was like 1:15 per person. But that's like you're getting your perfume with it.

[Bobby Bones]

So how big is the bottle?

[Morgan]

It's like you can do a bigger one or you can do the, like, a smaller one that just comes with it.

[Bobby Bones]

So I saw a cologne ad that actually made me want to buy cologne for the first time ever. Or at least think about it.

[Eddie]

Is it Johnny Depp playing guitar to the wolf?

[Bobby Bones]

That is a good one, that one.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good one, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It was Austin Butler dancing on top of a building.

[Eddie]

I think I've seen that one.

[Bobby Bones]

And I guess I didn't really want the cologne, but it's the first time I've ever thought about that. Looks fun.

[Eddie]

So you've never worn cologne?

[Bobby Bones]

I used to get Brute from Walmart.

[Eddie]

Not different. That's different.

[Bobby Bones]

But it was cologne.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but I mean, as an older, like, this is probably what, high school?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, junior high.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

As an older person, never. Not against it. Just never thought enough ahead of time to go buy cologne to wear.

[Eddie]

I love it. I think my dad, like, just always wore cologne. So, like, to me, that just meant, like, you're ready to go take on the day again.

[Bobby Bones]

It could have been something that was modeled to you. I didn't have a dad until I started to be a teenager and Arkansas Keith was not wearing colognes. The only thing that we would ever put on would be like deer pee to cover our scent if we were in the woods. And that was. You'd put it on the same way you'd put on cologne. Or at least you do. The two fingers on the neck, on the boot, bottom of the boots. That's pretty much it. I got a text from Arkansas Keith this weekend. He sent me a picture of him in the outfield at the Arkansas softball game.

[Eddie]

Oh, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

And he normally only goes to the baseball games. And he was at the softball game and he was like, are you guys here? And I was like, if we were there, we'd have told you.

[Eddie]

I love it.

[Bobby Bones]

So Morgan, what else you do, Morgan?

[Morgan]

Oh, we also went and tried a new restaurant and it reminded me of like being in Paris. Very European. And they had gluten free pasta and gluten free bread service, which never happened. So it was just like, everything was a good weekend and I got to actually chill. I slept like 10 hours. It's a cool part of the weekend. It was just like.

[Eddie]

It's amazing.

[Morgan]

I haven't had a weekend like that in a while.

[Bobby Bones]

What? What?

[Lunchbox]

Must be nice sleeping 10 hours.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But you take like two and three hour naps.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but that's not 10 hours.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you added it up, you're nice.

[Lunchbox]

I'm talking consecutive. Like that is.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear two or three hour nap and I think I react like you react to her going 10 hours.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, not two, three hour nap is after you get five hours of sleep. You know, I hear you.

[Bobby Bones]

I same. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So I mean, I'm just saying 10 hours sleep. I don't know when last time I did that was.

[Eddie]

It was crazy about my kids. Is apparently during the week my wife struggles to wake them up to school. Like they just don't want to get up. She's yelling at him, pulling them out of bed. But every Saturday morning they get up at like 6:30 in the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd say school is the factor that's holding them back from waking up.

[Eddie]

They're like, let's hang out.

[Bobby Bones]

So now you have to wake up with them.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you wake up early on weekends?

[Eddie]

Yes, I have to usually because we have basketball tournaments that start like 8am that are about an hour away.

[Bobby Bones]

We're waking up early, but the baby's sleeping like nine hours.

[Eddie]

That's good.

[Bobby Bones]

She's almost Morgan.

[Eddie]

So one hour away.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, good Good weekend, Morgan.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I got an email from the city. City pools open this coming Saturday.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a big deal?

[Lunchbox]

It is time for swimming season, and I cannot wait. The kids love the pool.

[Eddie]

You can kill five or six hours there, dude, no problem.

[Lunchbox]

And they stay entertained the whole time.

[Bobby Bones]

What are the people like there?

[Lunchbox]

That's a variety. Variety.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, do they make a bunch of kid friends? I guess was what I was asking. Is there a bunch of kids?

[Eddie]

Oh, no, because there is a grab bag of people.

[Lunchbox]

Grab bag.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd like to hear more about that. But it wasn't really why I was asking. I was like, are there other kids from other schools that maybe they wouldn't get to meet?

[Lunchbox]

But they usually. I mean, do they really talk to the random kids? Not really.

[Bobby Bones]

So when you say variety, what do you guys mean?

[Lunchbox]

All kinds of walks.

[Eddie]

Yep. Like, you have to. Like the. The kind where you kind of have to watch your kids a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah.

[Eddie]

You know, like, there are some people that go to just swim laps.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. When they get mad at the kids for jumping around.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Should they get mad at the kids for jumping?

[Lunchbox]

No, it's a pool. It's a city pool, man. Like, get out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Are there dedicated areas to swim laps?

[Eddie]

Like, four lanes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So the kids shouldn't be in those four lanes.

[Eddie]

They shouldn't. But if they're jumping right next to the ropes, they happen to get wet, they get mad. It's a thing.

[Lunchbox]

Or you have the people that sit on the edge and the kids jump in, they get wet, and they're like, ah. It's like, well, don't sit on the edge. But they want to have their feet in the pool.

[Eddie]

It's like, right.

[Lunchbox]

You can't have your cake and eat it, too, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you guys ever see each other there?

[Eddie]

No, we got a different one.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

And again, we're not talking, like, in Austin, whenever. What was the natural Barton Springs like? People would go down there. This is, like, real. Like, regular pools?

[Lunchbox]

No, like, regular pools. Yeah, yeah, it's like regular pools.

[Eddie]

You ever go to Deep Eddy?

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm talking about.

[Eddie]

That's kind of what it looks like.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's natural.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it still had the ambiance of a regular pool. Barton Springs, that was like a creek.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, that was.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm thinking of Deep Eddy.

[Lunchbox]

A hole in the ground.

[Eddie]

Deep Eddie looks like a regular pool. That's kind of what the pools look like.

[Bobby Bones]

But it was natural, though. Wasn't it? Yeah.

[Eddie]

The water was natural, but the whole outside of it look like a regular pool.

[Bobby Bones]

Been a while.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And then, you know, kids, your kids like to sit on the ropes where they're swimming laps.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

They get yelled and they get yelled at.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but should they get yelled at?

[Lunchbox]

And you know what I mean, what's wrong with them hanging on the ropes?

[Eddie]

And what's stupid, too, is like, lifeguards who are like 16 years old are yelling at me too. Like. Like you can't pick them up. Put on your shoulders. I'm like, don't blow your whistle at me.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you were once a lifeguard. You should tell them, I've done your job.

[Eddie]

I was you.

[Lunchbox]

I know what I'm doing. Like, I can hold my kid on my shoulders. What's wrong with that? Or they say, don't throw them. What? Like, you know, you pick them up and throw 1, 2, 3. You throw.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that possibly not because of your own kid? Because if you land on somebody else, it could, like, break their neck or shoulder probably.

[Eddie]

I mean, their rules.

[Lunchbox]

I never thought about that. Others thought they were just anti fun police.

[Bobby Bones]

They probably have to be anti fun because of the real unfun, which is somebody getting injured severely at the pool.

[Lunchbox]

Dang. That's. That's kind of good perspective there, man.

[Bobby Bones]

If you poop in the pool, they shut it all down.

[Eddie]

Shut it down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

But I'm going to tell you what. I haven't seen poop in the pool in a long time.

[Eddie]

I saw it five times last year.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Eddie]

Yep. Somebody poop poop? Well, my kid was one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Accident?

[Eddie]

Not last year. A couple years ago.

[Bobby Bones]

What if it's like wet poop? Yeah.

[Eddie]

As long as it's.

[Bobby Bones]

You see little browns, everybody's out.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

The chlorine doesn't kill it immediately.

[Eddie]

They do. They have to shock the pool. But it takes like, you know, 12, 12 hours a day. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

We have to shock our pool sometimes for algae.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. Oh, same thing. Yeah, kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But when they blow the whistle and they're like, everybody pools closed, you just like, great. You know exactly why the pool's close.

[Bobby Bones]

You start looking around, trying to blame it on one kid who did it. Is there an age limit? Like, you can't be in the pool by yourself if you're not a certain age?

[Eddie]

Yes. Yeah. Well, for us to pass a test,

[Lunchbox]

I mean, you can like diving board, you have to have a wristband. If your parents, if you got to pass a swim test. But you can be in the pool. Because you can have your floaty on. You can. If your parents just put you in the pool.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have to walk through a gate of some sort or can just. You just walk right up to the pool.

[Eddie]

Now there's a gate with someone there checking.

[Bobby Bones]

You got it. So it's not just wild and free, right?

[Eddie]

No.

[Morgan]

So it isn't free, is it? You have to pay something to go in.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How much?

[Lunchbox]

It's like five bucks or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Bucks a person.

[Lunchbox]

Is that right? Yeah, maybe. Or you can buy a weekly pass or something.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, dang, Eddie. For all your kids, all six of you.

[Eddie]

No, it's not. We wouldn't.

[Bobby Bones]

30 bucks a day, kind of. My whole. 30 bucks.

[Lunchbox]

It must not be that way. Maybe it's two bucks.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's cheap.

[Morgan]

I was gonna say, is it like, better to get like a Y membership and you go to that pool instead?

[Eddie]

Same deal.

[Morgan]

Same situation.

[Eddie]

Yeah, same. Yeah, same deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you have a pool at your house if you could?

[Eddie]

We would love a pool. Yeah. We wouldn't go anywhere. The kids would be in that pool every day. I would be in that pool every day. I love the water. How often do you get in your pool?

[Bobby Bones]

Five times a year.

[Eddie]

Crazy.

[Lunchbox]

I would never have a pull up my house, though.

[Eddie]

Why not?

[Lunchbox]

The stress.

[Bobby Bones]

Danger.

[Lunchbox]

Danger, yeah.

[Eddie]

Worried about the kids?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

But they.

[Bobby Bones]

Not with that many, though.

[Lunchbox]

It doesn't matter how to swim.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Lunchbox]

They have friends over. I mean anything.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but if they have friends over, you got to like. All eyes on deck.

[Bobby Bones]

We have had. We have people come over and go to the pool. But you're asking me if I get in it? Never. I'm good.

[Eddie]

You did lapse for a while though, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Where you were doing, like, if I was working out a little bit when I. I had hurt my ankle. That's how I first. So that. That number's misleading then, because I didn't consider that part of the pool when I was doing rehab and I could not run or jog. I would do laps in the pool, but I don't want to be wet. I hated it. But you're talking about just for fun. Never. Never.

[Eddie]

It's not your style.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not fun. What am I gonna. I'm sitting in water, Right?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I can sit in water anywhere.

[Morgan]

You would love a game. We used to play in the water.

[Bobby Bones]

Get out, get dry polo. Yeah, get out, get dry and get on the Wi Fi. I love that game.

[Morgan]

Our dad was stand on one end of the Pool and they would have those squishy wet balls. And we try. He'd like, call out points and we jump off the diving board and we try and catch him. And whoever got like the most points, we would spend hours doing that.

[Eddie]

That's fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Not a pool guy. I would actually like to have ours filled in with cement and not have a pool. And not have a pool. Like put a basketball court there or something.

[Lunchbox]

No, just wait. Your kid will grow up and want to swim and it'll be the best thing ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're probably right. But for me, that I leave it. If it's take it or leave it. My wife likes it. She gets in it. But like, what's the use? But it gets green too much.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And that's because. Why, like.

[Bobby Bones]

[Eddie]

And they have to have like, someone come by every, what, like two weeks or something?

[Bobby Bones]

We have a pool guy that comes by twice a week, I think.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Lunchbox]

When you're home though, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, because he's one of my wife and the pool boy. Yep.

[Lunchbox]

That's how a lot of movies start.

[Eddie]

I've heard stories like that.

[Bobby Bones]

And now they're there a lot. Because when that storm hit, the ice storm that it crushed our pool, like, no crying on the yacht. I get it. But it's like it destroyed it physically. Like, tore it up our whole back areas. Still going through the rehabilitation process, but yeah. All right. Pools. Anything else? Lunchbox from you?

[Lunchbox]

No, that's it. That's the exciting news.

Eddie,

[Eddie]

you A lot of good stuff. So basketball, AAU tournament season is over. Thank good. Thank goodness. Like, it's over. We're done. We're gonna have our weekends back. That's huge to me.

[Bobby Bones]

For how long?

[Eddie]

Till next year. Till next December.

[Bobby Bones]

But what about baseball?

[Eddie]

Baseball's fine. Baseball is like Once a week, only one of my boys plays baseball. And then I don't think anyone's gonna be playing football in the fall. I think my son quit football. The one that was playing. Wow, great. I was waiting for him to quit because he's not a big dude. He loves it. And he'd get hit or he'd hit someone, and he'd have pain or whatever, and he's like, it's okay, Dad. I still love it. I love it. It's great. But I think now he realizes he's not going to be playing a lot more because his friends are getting bigger and stronger, and he's like, I just. I'll focus on basketball. So I'm pumped about that. That's cool. What else? Oh, I'm going to the dentist today to finish my whole root canal process.

[Bobby Bones]

What's left?

[Eddie]

A crown.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they had to get one fit. It's. Now you have to get it put in correct. That's a much easier day.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That should be a shorter day, too, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And way less injections.

[Eddie]

Okay, good.

[Bobby Bones]

They did the real work on you last time.

[Eddie]

That's the root canal.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the actual removing of the bad root.

[Eddie]

And again, TikTok. I don't know if they're listening or what, but I've gotten some cool videos of how a root canal is done that, like, now I can see exactly what they did. And, like, that's amazing. So maybe tomorrow I'll get one that, like, how a crown is done. Looking forward to that.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything else?

[Eddie]

So I think that's pretty much it. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Oh, and my son wanted another championship. Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

How do you keep space for all the trophies?

[Eddie]

Medals. They're medals. Yeah, but, dude, I'm telling you, these tournaments just rule our world. Like, every weekend, start from Saturday morning all the way to Sunday. And then sometimes there's, like, we have to work church around Sunday. Like, if it's early games, we got to go to the night church. Like, last week, we went to a whole church we'd never been to before.

[Lunchbox]

Really? Why not just skip?

[Eddie]

Yeah, just. Just don't want to skip.

[Morgan]

Don't they have, like, we can skip

[Lunchbox]

and they have online, too, man. I mean, that just seems like an extra hassle.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys act like it's a class.

[Eddie]

It's not required. We want to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Who is the one that prioritizes that you go at all costs?

[Eddie]

Oh, my wife got it. Oh, dude, if you were up to me, I'd be like, guys, let's just watch it on tv. Same thing on the way to the game.

[Lunchbox]

See, now the dream comes out. No, we really want to go. I just wanted to make sure we were.

[Bobby Bones]

For us, weekends are a bit different. They have been the last couple months because if there is no news, that is good news. We're just keeping the baby on a schedule. Arkansas won their regional tournament. So it goes regionals to super regionals. There were four teams in the tournament. I think it was Fordham, usf, Washington and Arkansas. And Arkansas won the tournament. No losses at all. You know, DeBoer, the coach at Alabama was there watching his daughter play because she plays at Washington where he was before. So I guess she stayed up there.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's awesome because my brother in law is the heading coach. And then they now they'll play the super regional this weekend against Duke. And So there's only 16 teams left in the whole tournament, the whole NCAA tournament. So it's top 16 teams left. If they win this, they go to the College World series, which is 18s. But they've never, Arkansas's never been. So they've been to this four times and never got out. So hopefully they're able to get out and beat Duke. Yeah, Duke's. Everybody's good. It's top 16 teams. I think Duke was ranked 12th this year overall.

[Eddie]

And what was Arkansas?

[Bobby Bones]

Five. Oh, so yeah, that was a good, good time. I had some good pizza. It's always hit or miss. No, from Craig's, the place that we went where I ordered it. It's not that same. Pizza's on Uber Eats now.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's the first time ever ordered it. But yeah, I did that.

[Eddie]

That's the pizza we had. So good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was really good.

[Eddie]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

But really not a lot because again, we're so on a schedule. I did watch and I'll review it tomorrow. I did watch. We watched the end of that movie, Project Hail Mary.

[Eddie]

Oh, right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

It just took us five. Five sittings.

[Eddie]

Ryan Gosling is along.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's long.

[Eddie]

Dude, is that book really? It's all popular or something?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Why do you ask that?

[Eddie]

Because we were talking to some neighbors and Project Hail Mary came up and my neighbor was like, oh, I read the book. It was so good. I'm like, you too? You read the book?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they usually don't make movies out of books that aren't really popular. Really good, to be fair.

[Eddie]

Okay, that makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

And the movie was very long. And the reason why people Will always go. I preferred the book is because there's so much more detail in a book, obviously, and. And you spend probably a couple weeks of your life with the book as opposed to two and a half hours in a movie. Like they've got to condense a lot of the stuff and the nuance is a lot of times what makes the book so good that doesn't make the movie. And so I found elements of the movie to be not as satisfying because I read the book. But then I had to tell myself, don't be that loser. Don't be that loser. Just enjoy the movie. But I can review it tomorrow. But I'll get a. But it was good. I'll give the official review tomorrow. It could have been. Well, you know what I think was great about it is that a 11 year old would have loved it.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's clean, complete. I don't even know why it's PG13.

[Eddie]

They show a butt or anything?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe some language in there? A little bit.

[Lunchbox]

If there was.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember it, but possibly. Okay. They did drink, I guess they did drink at a bar a couple times. It could have been, ah, pg. So that feels like Dora the Explorer. But it was so clean and there was like the alien in it. It was a real life thing. I mean, not real life, but it wasn't. AI is a puppet. It's a puppet.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That made it kind of soft. Like, I think kids would like that movie. Yeah. I think Ryan Gosling has made it a point to make family friendly films because he wants movies that his kids can watch. Yeah. So that was like why he made that movie or wanted to make it. Official review tomorrow.

[Eddie]

Okay. Can't wait.

[Bobby Bones]

People are waiting. You know, they're going to bed tonight. Going. I can't wait to hear what Bobby says. His official review tomorrow. Go to the glass room. Amy's not here, so let's check in with them. Raymundo, tell me something good.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I was pretty much just in the sun all weekend on the back patio. I tried to golf, but I called the golf course and they put me on hold for six minutes. And I was like, well, I guess it's not in the universe for me to golf. I'll go another five months without golfing. So other than the golf, it was the perfect weekend. And it's just confirmed why I love being in the south more. I enjoyed being in Texas because it was always this weather. But baby, it's 90 all week. The heat is here. This is why I left Michigan. This is what I live for right here. The summers, like, the winter is over. Baby, My dad's like texting us. Oh, it was just above freezing today. What? That's why I moved. Like, don't text me about that. Like, I love this weather.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. Baby, baby, baby. Abby, give me a. Tell me something good.

[Abby]

We're headed to the beach this weekend. I'm really excited. Love the beach.

[Eddie]

Which one?

[Abby]

In Florida.

[Lunchbox]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the Florida beach.

[Eddie]

You know the ones.

[Lunchbox]

I don't tell you which one?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Are you worried about paparazzi getting you or.

[Abby]

I don't know. Well, it's my fiance and his kids and me, so. But I'm leaving early. Cause I have to come back to work.

[Bobby Bones]

But what town?

[Abby]

It's like Panama City, beach area.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Abby]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What's that drive?

[Abby]

It's only like six and a half hours, so it's really not bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, really?

[Eddie]

Seven hours average to the beach.

[Bobby Bones]

That's about what it is. A little rock. That's not bad.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Six and a half. You get a little rock.

[Eddie]

Okay. Yeah. Hey, man, if you put that pedal in the metal too, you get there a little faster.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, like, we're not stopping.

[Eddie]

You do that every time.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll stop. You got 45 seconds to pee. You have to do that with four boys.

[Eddie]

We'll do two stops for the whole trip. Unless somebody's really. And then we've done the bottle thing. Like, we'll pee in the bottle, then. Good luck.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. Oh, yeah, it's gonna. They're gonna miss.

[Eddie]

No, I know one time they did miss.

[Bobby Bones]

Or they're gonna spill after. They don't miss.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it's worth that than being. Getting there and it's already nighttime.

[Lunchbox]

You can just pull over on the side of the road and let them pee in the.

[Eddie]

We've done that before, too.

[Lunchbox]

But dude, we do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that also a disaster?

[Eddie]

Well, stopping just takes a long time. Like, literally stopping for two minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

If you stop on the side of the road. There's not a lot of options of what they can do to waste more time.

[Lunchbox]

That's exactly why we do it. There's no dilly dallying. You get out, you pee in the grass, you get back in the car.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not looking at gummy worms or dicking around in the bathroom watching the.

[Eddie]

But you look at the ETA and it'll kill like five minutes of time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Well, that's fun, Abby.

[Abby]

Yeah, I'm excited.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba Steve.

[Scuba Steve]

Yes, I'M also a bottle peeler. Eddie, I think it's totally fine. We did it all the time. Pete and Yoohoos, Gatorade bottles.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean with the kids? Not with you with the kids.

[Scuba Steve]

No, I've done it as an adult and as a child.

[Lunchbox]

As an adult.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? I could see it because you're probably not going to be a sloppy.

[Eddie]

No, there's no bottle big enough for an adult.

[Scuba Steve]

But even, but even as kids, my dad be like peeing this Zima bottle right here.

[Eddie]

And I'm like, all right, I just finished it.

[Scuba Steve]

But you, you're right, you do lose 30 minutes depending how long the kids go and they want to stop and look at stuff, get gas. Could be a line. It's just a pain in the butt. Just let's roll. Let's go. Let's get there.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, do you have any. Tell me something good?

[Scuba Steve]

Yes, my. Tell me something good. Is that all? This week we are doing dance rehearsals, like dance recitals for my daughters. It's their first recital this coming weekend, so I'm really excited to see that come to fruition.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

She enjoy it?

[Scuba Steve]

My daughters love it.

[Bobby Bones]

They work hard at it.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, I don't know if they work hard at it because I went to go watch one of them last week and they're just kind of like bouncing around and stuff, but they enjoy it. The older one does tap and regular dance, so she's a little bit more excited than my 3 year old. But it'd be kind of cool, a little emotional moment to see daughters get older and get to the next level.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, that's interesting. I, I don't know that world because I don't have girls. And that is one reason I'm glad I don't have girls, because I just do not. See, I mean, I understand it's your kids, so you're excited, but man, I

[Eddie]

think you would love it.

[Lunchbox]

Like my sister used to. She did. I mean, what is it called? Dance or tap or something for one like a couple years and we'd go to those things like, oh my gosh, it's so boring.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, yeah, I wouldn't want to go to it if it was just like watching some random kids dance.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, I would encourage you not to go watch some random kids.

[Eddie]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

If I could just like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Blanket recommendation not go watch random young kids dance.

[Eddie]

Have you watched 8 year olds play kid pitch baseball?

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty bad.

[Eddie]

That's so boring too. So walks yeah, well, scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fun.

[Scuba Steve]

Thanks, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Abby, when. When do you drive down to Florida?

[Abby]

Friday. Friday after the show, and then we'll get there pretty late.

[Bobby Bones]

Dog disappeared in a snowstorm. Was out with the owners. Owners lost the dog. Storm got so bad, they couldn't find the dog. Eventually, they had to retreat back because of the severity of the storm. Luckily, these other hikers came up after the storm had subsided a bit and found the dog.

[Bobby Bones (Ad Voice)]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Dog ran off. Rich says his golden doodle Charlie was rescued. It ran off while exploring when the snow hit. And so they went and looked and looked and looked. They had four wheelers. ATVs. Had a drone company looking for this dog. Could not find it anywhere. Vanished in heavy snow and temperatures in the 20s. And so it got so bad they had to stop. They couldn't see with the drones anymore. They couldn't drive the four wheeler safely. So the storm stops. They start looking again. They couldn't find it, but other people did. The following day, Jada and Colin Symanski found Charlie while hiking in the state park.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

During a snowy outing. You know, that family was so relieved to get their dog back. That's from Cowboy State Daily, one of my favorite publications.

And one kid walks up to the truck, looks at all the ice cream choices, turns around and walks away. And they're like, hey, hey, where you going? Kid, he's like, I don't have any money. They said, don't worry about it. An ice cream truck will give you free ice cream. And they gave the kid free ice cream. Someone took a video of it, put it online, and donations have come flooding in. And now they just drive around and give away free ice cream. They don't have to charge anybody because all the donations.

[Bobby Bones]

What I like most about that story is there was no intent of that going viral or being seen by anyone. It was just some people going, hey kid, we got you. And then it's awesome when it happens like that. That's, that's cool. It's a good one.

[Eddie]
