Main Discussion and Highlights

1. Bobby’s “Tell Me Something Good”: Dog Training & Valentine’s Day (00:41–05:53)

• Stanley the Bulldog’s Training

  • Bobby shares updates on his senior bulldog Stanley going to daytime training sessions due to a forthcoming baby.
    • “He's not the best listener, and I'm definitely his alpha to where he mostly only listens to me … And so I really didn't want to send him off to training, but I was encouraged to. And the only deal that I made was he doesn't stay overnight.” [01:04]
  • Despite health scares and surgeries, Stanley seems to be doing well, which Bobby frames as something positive.

• Valentine’s Day: Bobby’s Wife Wins

  • Bobby planned a low-key Valentine’s due to his wife’s pregnancy and uncertain health.
    • “Now, purposefully, I did not plan something on the 14th…because she's…pregnant. And so I was like, I'm not going to plan anything on the 14th because I don't want to plan anything, pay for it, and then us not go…” [03:36]
  • His wife surprised him with a Goldbelly order of dairy-free cheesecake bites (Chicago) and cookies (New York), plus a shirt.
    • “She won. She won. I'm not even gonna say I lost on purpose. I didn't lose on purpose, but she won. It was great.” [04:41]
  • Bobby humorously notes he sees everything as a competition, unlike his wife.
    • “Although she doesn't look at things as competitions, which is weird, because I do. I look at everything as a competition.” [05:27]

• The team debates whether the gesture is just kind, a tactic for tips, or both. Amy insists it made her smile regardless.
  • “Did it make you smile? Did it make you happy?” – “Yes.” [07:15–07:17]

  • “That’s crazy that you don't think anybody won. I live my life off of wins and losses.” [13:07]
• Eddie explains the key was genuinely listening and communicating to understand each other’s points.
  • “She wasn’t being heard correctly by me… I think she didn’t understand what I was saying… So the fact that we both had to communicate and understood each other, we know how to work it out.” [14:00]
