Amy
Around the room Amy so calendar wise my ex husband and I we have meetings from time to time where we go over like what several months will look like and it just feels really good because yesterday we got all the way to June and maybe July. But I told him it just depended on some of our work stuff that we kind of what our summer vacation looks like, I don't know. But we had to there were some things where we had to work with each other like based on what he had and what I have and then what the kids have. And I just have a lot of gratitude for how we're able to handle it because I know I was talking to someone else. I know it's not that easy with her co parent and so I'm just thankful that we took the time and we carefully went through month by month and we, we were there for each other. Like hey this would be really helpful if you could take the kids this day, which I know normally is not your day, but I have this. And then like his girlfriend got him tickets to some concert one weekend which happens to fall on his weekend. But I was like well I'll take him that weekend. Like you know it's not that big of a deal. So I just like that we can be that way.
Bobby Bones
Do you find compromising Is easier the longer you do it.
Amy
Yes. I just think sometimes you have to. So this would be a tip too, is like sometimes if you're fresh off maybe not agreeing about something, like maybe have your meeting later. Because when you're in both and like, if vibes are good, both of you
Bobby Bones
as much out as you can, then you're.
Amy
Yeah. Like, you're, You're. You're just in a good place where both of you are willing to give. It's like a give take that feels good. And it's like, hey. Yeah. I mean, we were hanging up. He was like, hey, this is a really good call. Like, thanks for being so cool about it. And I'm like, yeah, thank you for being cool about it. And, you know, taking the dog this weekend when I need extra help with the dog. So I'm just thankful because I know that's not always the case. And sometimes we do have, like. We had another thing we had to work through recently where the vibes weren't so good, but we got through it and we sort of. A few hours later it resolved itself. And so sometimes you just gotta be patient. But that would have. If we had had a calendar meeting scheduled around that time. We probably have moved it because I think you need to do that when the vibes are feeling good.
Bobby Bones
I'm glad to hear that. Yeah.
Amy
So I just have gratitude for it.
Bobby Bones
Good for you. Me, I don't know if I have any one specific thing. I had a full day yesterday, but it was a good day. Arkansas ended up losing the basketball game, but it was double overtime. It's a tough loss, but I think I'm getting a little more mature because I didn't. I wasn't, like, angry. We lost a game in double overtime. We had two guys that couldn't play because of injury. We had three that fouled out. We're playing with walk ons. It's a really good game. We end up losing by two. Missed a shot at the end. And I was disappointed, but I was like, man, that was a good game. I never feel that way.
Ray
Is it you growing up a little
Bobby Bones
bit or is it Nats?
Ray
Yeah. Is it? Because they're really good, like the team and you know that.
Bobby Bones
You know, my team.
Ray
Yeah. You know, they are.
Bobby Bones
I think they're really good. Yeah. And I think we lost last night because again, we had players that couldn't play. And then we had a bunch of walk ons playing at the end. But still old me. It's the only time that I would ever see Rage is when we would lose something like that, and I would just, like, want to punch the couch. Like, humans don't make me that mad. But let's see. I was in therapy, though. What's today? Thursday. At therapy on Tuesday. And I was telling my therapy, I yelled at somebody at work, and I've never done that before. And I said, yeah, I yelled at somebody because it really got me going. I said, I wasn't. I wasn't triggered. I felt like they deserved to be yelled at. And he's like, how'd that make you feel?
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
And I said, very good. I said, because they needed that. I said, I never yell. I never even get to a place where I feel like I need to yell. Heck, most times, I feel like if it gets a little more tense if you talk like this, they pay more attention to you. It's like those super bowl commercials that are super quiet. Everybody's like, why is there no sound? Let's look at it. So, yeah, I yelled at somebody, and it was the first time in the history of my professional career that I yelled at somebody.
Amy
No, I mean, I'm shocked you yelled.
Bobby Bones
If I told you what it was, you'd be like, oh, I'm surprised you didn't punch him. Oh, Xbox.
Ray
What did you think?
Amy
Obviously not. They're not.
Eddie
Definitely wasn't me, man.
Amy
But one day, are you gonna tell us what it was?
Bobby Bones
As soon as the mics go off, I'll tell you privately, I don't give a crap.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Ray
All right, let's wrap it up.
Bobby Bones
So. But yesterday had recorded a Bobby cast for later for the band Perry. That was great. A very full day. I boxed yesterday for the first time. This can be good. My ankle's just a little sore after surgery, so I went and boxed. Got a new boxing coach, so I've been working with him and started day one. Wasn't completely start back at zero. Like, I still knew, you know, the number system, it was a little slow. Still speed bag, still difficult.
Ray
But the numbers are like the punches.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Ray
One, two, two, combo.
Bobby Bones
One, two, three, four, five, six. All different punches. Yeah. So it's good. I had a good day yesterday. Even though it was jam packed. I felt bad for Mike. He didn't even eat. It was one of those days where if you don't purposefully have food near your mouth and chew in your brief moment, you don't even get to eat. So I felt bad for Mike yesterday. I was like, mike, what did you eat for lunch? This is before I went to box he goes, that's nuts.
Ray
It's in your bag.
Bobby Bones
Really good almonds. Always have them with me. I had some nuts in a bar, but those days usually wind me down. And then we lost the game. I thought. But now I feel pretty good. I feel pretty good. Got decent. I got five and a half hours sleep last night. My Oura ring gave me a 75 score. Feel pretty good about that. That's it. Eddie.
Ray
I feel bad talking about food now that Mike didn't eat, but yesterday was awesome.
Bobby Bones
He's eating since.
Ray
No, I know.
Bobby Bones
I think he's good now. It's coming up.
Eddie
You don't really feel bad.
Ray
I do, because yesterday was my son's birthday, and I thought it was so cool that he asked me to make ribs for him.
Bobby Bones
That's cool. It means he really loves what you do.
Ray
Like, he could have anything. You want to go to Olive Garden? You want to go to this restaurant? No, Dad, I want you to smoke me some ribs. So when I got home, I started smoking ribs, and it was so cool to see him, like, enjoy those ribs and be like, these are so good, dad. Gosh, I don't know how you do it. And to me, I don't know. I just, like, that's so cool to me that, like, it's the only thing I think of. Like, tell me something good that happened yesterday. Although I went to a place, he also wanted to play mini golf. I went to a place where we need to go as a group. It was the coolest mini golf place I've ever been to.
Bobby Bones
Restrain. Amy.
Ray
Amy. I thought about you. I'm like, amy's been dying for a
Bobby Bones
group outing since 2016.
Ray
Yeah, it's an indoor, like, putt putt place, but it's got music. Bobby. They had the Arkansas game on, like, huge tv.
Amy
They have shovel right down the corner.
Ray
No, no, no. It's like, a little outside of town, but it's legit.
Bobby Bones
Is it over near the in and out?
Ray
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I saw. I saw before they opened it.
Ray
Dude, it's.
Bobby Bones
So it's the Tiger woods thing.
Ray
Oh, it's Tiger's place.
Bobby Bones
I think so. I think he's the big one of the owners of that.
Ray
Well, he knows what he's doing.
Bobby Bones
Awesome. Yeah. That's cool. Is it fun, though?
Ray
It was cool. It was so much fun. I could picture all of us going as a group. Amy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We'd end up gambling, which would be awesome.
Amy
That's fine.
Bobby Bones
And then we take all Amy's money because she'd want to Be a part of the group. I think it's cool that your son like of anything he could pick. He wanted to pick something that was something that you take pride in.
Ray
I agree.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty cool.
Ray
It was a special, special moment.
Bobby Bones
That's cool.

Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Eddie
Yeah, I mean, I guess buying in. It counts as today because today I have kept two humans alive for six years, which is pretty incredible because people talk about raising kids and it just shows you it's really not that hard to raise kids. You can keep them alive if I've done two for six years. But it also takes me back to a great memory, maybe the most sexist comment ever by someone that I've known. And his name is Eddie. Because six years ago today, Ray and him decided to bring Chick Fil A to the hospital.
Ray
Oh gosh.
Eddie
When my baby was being born and we went out and had lunch and he was going to come back and say hello to my wife, we walk in the room and the doctor's like, hey guys, everybody out. It's go time. It's go time. And Eddie looks at this woman in the face and goes, well, where's the doctor?
Ray
It was the. I thought it was the nurse.
Eddie
And she goes, I'm right here.
Bobby Bones
That's. That happened in Barbie. That's so funny. That's happened in the Barbie movie where she's. He's like, I need to speak to the doctor. She's like, I am the doctor.
Ray
Right, right.
Bobby Bones
And he's like, no, that can't be
Ray
right at the moment.
Eddie
Yeah.
Ray
I just feel like the nurse was being a little pushy getting us out of the room.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy.
Eddie
And so six years ago, to this day, in the face and said, well, where's the doctor?
Bobby Bones
Happy anniversary to sexism.
Ray
She was sweet, though. She was just like, I'm the doctor.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Amy
Because trust me, that's not the first time she's had to deal with that.
Ray
Exactly.
Amy
No, no. I'm saying a lot of other people.
Bobby Bones
So funny.
Ray
Yeah. Forget the fact that I took him and his wife lunch. Like, me and Ray were doing a good thing, but that's what he remembers.
Bobby Bones
You literally said, where's the doctor?
Eddie
No, no, he said, oh, then where's the doctor?
Ray
Then where's the doctor? Because I thought she was the nurse. Like, we got to get out. She's having the baby. And I was like, okay, cool. Where's the doctor? She's like, I am the doctor. Like, got it.
Bobby Bones
Got it. I know this is years ago, but
Amy
a little bit still, I know the reason why this. I know for sure this happens. This doctor, like, posted a video of how a lot of times she has, like, she'll be delivering news to patients about stuff, and the patients will reply back to her. Well, how do they know? And she'll be like, who's they? I am they. Like, who?
Ray
Are you still doing that?
Amy
Yeah, like, they. They. That's more times.
Bobby Bones
Because five years ago was a different year. So different.
Amy
More times than not, they don't think that she's the one making the decisions.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy, man.
Ray
That was five years ago.
Eddie
Six years ago.
Ray
Six years ago. Wow.
Bobby Bones
You said, where's the doctor?
Ray
Do you remember that, Ray?
Bobby Bones
I remember it. But also, in your defense, she was dressed pretty casually. Yeah.
Ray
Like a nurse.
Eddie
She had scrubs.
Amy
You mean like scrubs?
Ray
Yeah, just regular scrubs.
Amy
Okay. Yeah, but doctors wear that, especially when delivering a baby.
Bobby Bones
I'm not giving you the benefit of the scrubs.
Ray
The doctor usually had, like, a white coat, you know, like, with a name on it. And I'd be like, oh, doctor. But I literally was just like, well, where's the doctor?
Bobby Bones
That's one of my new favorite stories. Just talking to Eddie's wife again.
Ray
Stop, stop, stop. Just move on. Stop.
Bobby Bones
I told her, too.
Ray
I'm like, stop bringing up those stories when we're out to dinner with them.
Bobby Bones
They're the greatest stories, and I feel
Ray
like she loves telling them because she
Bobby Bones
never gets to tell them because we laugh so hard. And a Lot of it is just her confirming things that she's already confirmed that Eddie will, over time, slowly eat away at and go, well, that's not true. Well, that's not true.
Ray
She told you, Amy?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. No, one of the two. I won't even share the other one. If you don't want it to be shared, that's fine.
Ray
I don't even know what you're talking about.
Bobby Bones
But the one was when Eddie's wife was going into labor and he made her drive, and then he made her stop at McDonald's.
Ray
We hadn't eaten breakfast.
Amy
I know. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And she's just like, every part of that's true.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That I had to drive. This is her. I had to drive, and I had to stop at McDonald's to get him food. And as I was going to give birth to the baby, we had gone
Ray
to the doctor four times already or the hospital four times already.
Bobby Bones
So on the 5th, she has to drive. It's like a punch card.
Ray
No, no, no. The thing is, she's only had. She had only had C sections. So when she was like, I think I'm having contractions. I'm like, you don't know what that is?
Bobby Bones
But still, why would you not drive? Is my question. Even if it's the 80th time, why would you not drive?
Ray
I don't. I don't think I was. Honestly, how can I let her drive?
Bobby Bones
You said that at dinner, too, and she said. No, she drove. Said she was white knuckling the steering wheel. I remember that. Her exact words.
Ray
That'd be weird of me to let her drive.
Bobby Bones
That's what I'm saying.
Ray
Yeah. I don't know about that, because as
Bobby Bones
sexist as you are, obviously you would want to drive.
Ray
The man should drive.
Bobby Bones
Dude, that. Where's the doctor story? I don't even know you, man.
Ray
I remember that one. Yeah, I remember that. I was really embarrassed.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If you're embarrassed, that means you don't have hate in your heart.
Ray
No, I don't have hate.
Bobby Bones
You can have stupidity in your brain, but that means you don't have hate in your heart. Dang. That's crazy. Okay.
Ray
Thanks, Lunchbox.
Eddie
You're welcome, man.
Bobby Bones
Six years. Congrats on the kids. But that just. That story was mostly. Oh, the story is the one. Sexism. Yeah. Yeah. All right. There you go. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. You know what I had for dinner last night? What Pizza again. I think I'm sick. For the last eight nights, the same exact pizza from the same exact place. For those who don't know, I can't have dairy, but I found a place called Blaze, Not a commercial. They make a pizza with really great vegan cheese. It's not a vegan pizza because I like pepperoni and they put hot honey on it. I've had it six in the last eight nights. When Eddie and I went to dinner, I ate a pizza because they made that vegan cheese. I just didn't have it for so long. So I'm in a big pizza kick. I think that's why I get these pizza stories. This guy Will in Washington, he is an award winning pizza maker. He hand tossed and baked 80 pizzas to feed those in need across his community. He personally loaded 60 hot pizzas into his vintage 1941 delivery truck, hopped on a ferry and delivered them to Mary's Place, an emergency shelter in Seattle. But he didn't stop there. He baked another 25 the following day for the Salvation Army. He owns two pizza shops, paid for it, and is just doing the work and donating it.
Amy
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
So big shout out to Will Grant in Bainbridge Island. His pizza shop isn't in here. I'd shout it out. Yeah, but look up Will Grant in Bainbridge Island's pizza shop. That's from Kitsap Daily News. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the Good News with Amy. Tell me something good. All right.
Amy
There's a cashier at a Publix in Georgia. His name is Michael Master Angelo and he's intellectually disabled. And he has people that will come to his line because he's so awesome. And they will wait 40 minutes just to make sure they check out with him. He's known for greeting every shopper like an old friend and bringing just unmatched positivity to the store. Something his manager says, this cannot be taught. This just comes naturally to him. And he's had a fundraiser going and he hit a personal goal for the Special Olympics, raising more than $31,000 in just six days at his register.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he was raising it for other people?
Amy
Yeah, for the Special Olympics.
Ray
Wow, that's cool.
Bobby Bones
That's so cool. I'm glad we're highlighting this because I love an awesome story like this. However, I ain't waiting 40 minutes. I don't care if it's Santa Claus.
Ray
Your favorite cashier of all time.
Bobby Bones
I only 40 minutes. I just don't go to the grocery store with thought of I have an extra 40 minutes. So all these people that are waiting and donating like you should also be highlighted. Yeah he and them because I'm in. I'm gonna get my beautiful beans. I'm gonna get out self checkout.
Amy
Well they're obviously wanting to. Yeah. Support his castle.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome.
Amy
That's what I'm saying to somebody else. They might not be able to donate to his personal cause.
Bobby Bones
That's great. I love that story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

This episode delivers a blend of life lessons, hilarious moments, and heartening tales.
