[Bobby Bones]

Come on.

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

It's time for the good news.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Good news. I guess Abby's not sick. We were just talking about that before we went on. Abby's coughing like crazy. I don't know that it feels safe that you're coughing in that room, though.

[Abby]

Well, that's why I've been going in the other room.

[Scuba Steve]

Okay.

[Abby]

I don't remember. This was, like, before the half marathon, and I don't know why.

[Amy]

It's lingering.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Hey, guys. Coughs do linger.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's probably pneumonia.

[Scuba Steve]

I've never had pneumonia, but I don't

[Bobby Bones]

think every cough that lingers is pneumonia. And coughs linger a long time without it being pneumonia.

[Lunchbox]

She looks bad.

[Scuba Steve]

She does.

[Abby]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

She's always got Kleenex up to her nose. I mean, it looks bad.

[Abby]

I don't know what to say to that.

[Bobby Bones]

During the show, there were. We have 12 phone lines, and I would see them lighting up, and nobody was answering them. And I looked over, and Abby was gone. And I said, where's Abby? And Ray said, she's coughing up along. Outside.

[Abby]

Yeah, I am sorry about that. That was bad timing.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't care about that. If you're sick. This is how hantavirus got going, guys.

[Abby]

Oh.

[Amy]

Oh, my.

[Scuba Steve]

The one in the boat?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. She's in a glass room with Ray and Scuba Steve. They're all sitting just three feet from each other. She's coughing up a lung.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. It says lingering coughs. Usually pneumonia.

[Scuba Steve]

Usually.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you want to do here?

[Lunchbox]

Need to go to the doctor. That could be a serious condition, they say.

[Amy]

Well, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think the good news is that you're not sick right now. It's a lingering cough. Unless you. Is there any chance that you're contagious? No.

[Abby]

This started a week. How long ago is that? The race was April 25th.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

So nobody else has gotten sick.

[Bobby Bones]

If you were me, what would you do?

[Abby]

I mean, I probably go, but I can ask Ray.

[Amy]

If she was sitting right next to me, she would stay.

[Scuba Steve]

Abby, if you were Bobby, you wouldn't ever. You wouldn't go anywhere. You come to work every day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Bobby stays. Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

Pushes through.

[Amy]

So you need to ask that a different.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. If you were me, what would you do to her?

[Amy]

Oh, okay. Thank you for clarifying. Because if she were you. She's.

[Bobby Bones]

But I wouldn't get you guys sick.

[Amy]

But you would still stay.

[Scuba Steve]

I mean, you'd fight through it.

[Lunchbox]

And if it was me, you would have sent me home a week ago.

[Bobby Bones]

If it were you, it would be like a mutated disease.

[Lunchbox]

That's what I'm saying. It's weird.

[Scuba Steve]

And if it were you, we'd all be sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and you'd have brought it in and not told us anything about it for three days.

[Lunchbox]

No, usually I'm pretty up from some

[Amy]

form of a yeast infection.

[Bobby Bones]

You're up to.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, Covid. Covid, girl, let's calm down.

[Amy]

What? We all have had Covid.

[Lunchbox]

No, but you brought it all up.

[Bobby Bones]

She's also sitting far away from everybody else.

[Amy]

Yeah, so?

[Lunchbox]

That doesn't make it better.

[Amy]

Yeah, we're six feet apart, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, what do you. Abby, what would you do, dude?

[Abby]

I mean, I live with my fiance, and he is not sick. He hasn't gotten sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Raymundo and Scuba Steeds. And I'm gonna put it on you guys stays

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

just for the controversy. Goes.

[Amy]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

50.

[Amy]

50.

[Lunchbox]

Way to go.

[Scuba Steve]

Now you got to decide.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think it's controversial if she goes.

[Amy]

No, but he's saying opposite of Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, got it.

[Inner Balance Advertiser]

Got it.

[Abby]

Ray has his shirt over his face,

[Lunchbox]

and I saw the hell of that phone before I touched it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's.

[Scuba Steve]

Look at Ray.

[Abby]

It's just lingering. I can go to the doctor. I can go. I went before the half.

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

Let's book a doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you should go to the doctor.

[Lunchbox]

I just don't want you to be having pneumonia and not know about it and let it get worse, and then you're on a respirator.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not good because you look like crap, Abby. Like.

[Scuba Steve]

Shh.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you do, but I haven't seen you other than across the room here through a glass window.

[Lunchbox]

Abby, go stand in front of him.

[Bobby Bones]

So, okay.

[Abby]

I mean, should I go now? What are we saying?

[Bobby Bones]

Is there anything that you have to do the rest of the day?

[Amy]

No.

[Abby]

I mean, I can do it from home.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you go to the doctor today?

[Abby]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Like a minute clinic or something? Yeah, if you can't get in. Scuba, are you good with me cutting her now?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think we're good.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like the risk. She's probably not contagious if this is a lingering cough, but I don't like the risk, so. Okay, well, here's the good news. You get to go home.

[Abby]

Well, I'll Go to the doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right.

[Scuba Steve]

Bye, Abby.

[Abby]

Okay, thank you, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

I still like you the same.

[Abby]

Okay, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, that was literally happening when we hit the. To start this bit. So I just wanted to do it while I was fresh.

[Scuba Steve]

And that's a good one to start with.

[Bobby Bones]

Fresh in mind.

[Scuba Steve]

Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if anything.

[Lunchbox]

Good.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, she's gonna go get help.

[Bobby Bones]

Get help?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean go to the doctor?

[Scuba Steve]

Go to the doctor?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You should go on your way home. It's probably slow right now. Cause it's early in the morning.

[Scuba Steve]

She's grabbing the phone. Ray, can you make sure that's wiped when she leaves?

[Bobby Bones]

Why is she licking it?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

You look up and she's. Okay, let's do our. Tell me something goods, Amy.

[Amy]

Okay, so I saw this post and then I started to see articles about it, about how getting your nails done is no longer a thing. And I haven't gone to the nail salon to get my nails done since September of 2024. And I remember because I went in September of 2024 for iHeart Vegas, and now it's no longer a thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I think it is still a thing because people do it all the time.

[Amy]

I know, but it's slowly becoming like, not like a status symbol, at least. Like, you don't like people at the top, which I'm not saying I'm at the top.

[Bobby Bones]

So people like you at the top. Stop doing it in 2024.

[Amy]

No, no, no, no. I'm just following the lead of the people at the top. It's called counter signaling. When a status symbol becomes commonplace, the people at the top opt out to show they don't need it.

[Bobby Bones]

But is doing your nails a status symbol?

[Amy]

Well, I guess it once was. All I'm saying is this is how I like my nails. Like, I'll grow. I was excited, I think, a couple weeks ago. Remember, I had grown them out and that's fine, but I was just going to keep doing them at home by myself. Like, I don. Like going to the salon, but now I'm just taking care of them. They're very plain. And I have gratitude for people at the top that have decided that this is now the way to be.

[Scuba Steve]

Who are the people at the top? Like rich people?

[Amy]

Yeah, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay, so let me say this happened Illuminati. Well, I don't know. Some of them might be in Illuminati. Okay. The article said the same thing happened with designer logos Back in the day. And that's why some of you at the top is more quiet luxury. I mean I still like some logo things, but I'm not saying I have to copy them. But they have nice things that only the people that know nice things recognize they don't have to have.

[Bobby Bones]

Quiet luxury.

[Amy]

Bobby's familiar with familiar with it. His sweater for example is probably really expensive.

[Scuba Steve]

Quiet luxury.

[Bobby Bones]

Why am I getting thrown into the bus here? What's happening?

[Amy]

Wait, that's a compliment. I thought, whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy comes on, she's like, you know people are doing now not doing their nails. Well look here, I haven't done mine in three years.

[Lunchbox]

But then she takes a shot at

[Bobby Bones]

you and then she's like okay, he knows you got quiet luxury. Maybe that lunchbox is bears hood. He's quiet luxury.

[Lunchbox]

We don't even know it might be, I don't know. It's a gift.

[Amy]

Do you know who Valeria Lipovetsky is?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

She, I, I, I get a lot of her stuff. I don't follow her, but she pops up. Her husband coined her this generation's Oprah. Her husband did successful online like she's got millions of followers and she started this whole thing after making a video of getting her nail like saying that she's given up getting her nails done. And since then there's been so much discourse about whether or not getting your nails done is a sign that you're truly rich as it means your time is too valuable to waste in the salon every couple of weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, there you have the good news is rich people have annoyed have coined Amy. Cool.

[Scuba Steve]

No job Amy.

[Amy]

No, I'm saying like woo.

[Bobby Bones]

The good news coined I'm naturally it

[Amy]

just from the top down. Whatever. I just have gratitude that cuz sometimes I'm like I see nails and I'm like I maybe I should go get mine done. And now. Nope.

[Scuba Steve]

So how do you treat yourself now? Like you know, like back in the day. Back in the day it was like oh, I'm going to get my nails, I'm going to treat myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well what do you do? He's asking now what you do.

[Scuba Steve]

So what do you do now?

[Amy]

Well considering getting my nails done was never a favorite thing of mine since I haven't done it since September of 2024 because I just don't like sitting there for that long. Maybe a little one of those. I wish there was more access to those little airport chair massage things like where can we just get more of

[Scuba Steve]

those around the trampoline park.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, you go to the trampoline park.

[Bobby Bones]

Those things are not good for you. They make you worse. Once you hurt. It hurts so bad, you get up and you're like, oh, why did I do that?

[Scuba Steve]

And then why would you even pay for them? Because every, like, two minutes, it does a demo.

[Amy]

Okay, let me just sit there for the demo.

[Bobby Bones]

W. It almost feels like if I eat too much pie, because I'm like, man, that's some good pie. And then I eat way too much, and I finish, and I'm like, why did I eat all that freaking pie? That's what I feel like. I have to do one of those chairs. I'm like, that chair looks fun. Let me put a couple bucks in. I get out. Why did I do that chair?

[Amy]

Okay, well, now. Now I need to clarify. I'm not talking about the big massage chairs you get in those. Wreck me every time I have to go see a chiropractor. I'm talking about the little chairs. And you go and sit down and, like, hang, and then a person massages you for a dollar a minute.

[Bobby Bones]

I never done that.

[Lunchbox]

Never done that.

[Amy]

Wait, you've never done that, even at the airport when you've been delayed?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, what about the casino? I've seen people.

[Lunchbox]

That's hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did you eyeball me?

[Amy]

Quiet luxury. You don't have to do that. Okay, so what does that mean?

[Lunchbox]

I don't understand. I. I just don't. I. I don't really see that many places where there's a chair where someone will massage you for a dollar a minute.

[Scuba Steve]

The mall. I've seen that.

[Lunchbox]

I've seen it.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen that in Austin.

[Amy]

The massage people with the.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, maybe one in Vegas, too. But it's never open because we always have to go home at 5 in the morning on that stupid flight after. I heart.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, I've seen people at, like, the blackjack table, like.

[Amy]

Yeah. I wonder if those types of masseuses.

[Bobby Bones]

Massage therapists.

[Amy]

Massage therapists. Did they have to have the same.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I would assume they have to have certification.

[Amy]

Yeah. I didn't know if there was, like, you get a table certification or you

[Bobby Bones]

get a chair, but he's asking what you do to treat.

[Amy]

Well, now, that's what I mean. I would do that.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not doing it, but you're not.

[Amy]

I know. You're right. What do I do? That's a valid question.

[Scuba Steve]

Do you get massages?

[Amy]

Like, occasionally. Okay, I'll get, like, a lymphatic. Yeah, sure. Lymphatic.

[Bobby Bones]

Lymphatic massages aren't massages, though.

[Amy]

That's what's a real bummer, is because they touch you like this, all they're

[Bobby Bones]

doing is moving water in your body, like, so it's not. I did one of those one time because my wife was like, you should do one with me. And then they just, like, are pushing the water.

[Amy]

Well, your lymph. Your lymphatic system, it's running. It runs. There's, like, arrows, directions that the. The circulation and the blood and the water is all flowing in your body. And what they do is they massage it in massage arrows.

[Bobby Bones]

They just kind of get pushed. Dude, I'm telling you, it's like, guide it. Yeah. It's not even a real massage. I'm just like, let's go push something.

[Amy]

Well, this is. Lymphatic massage is what opened up Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not saying it doesn't work. I'm saying I was led astray. I thought it was a massage.

[Amy]

Right. It's just called, you're not gonna leave there.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I'd rather be in the chair at the airport. That, like, wrecks my back.

[Amy]

Right.

[Scuba Steve]

You're not gonna feel. When you leave there.

[Amy]

I feel really great.

[Bobby Bones]

No, the same.

[Lunchbox]

That's quiet luxury.

[Amy]

Lymphatic massage.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't think it's really a luxury. It doesn't feel good. It doesn't do anything. Oh, for me, it's mostly a health thing.

[Amy]

Oh, you don't feel like. Like your stomach's flatter. Like you're.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't let him touch my stomach.

[Amy]

Well, that's a problem because that's a major area where the lymph flows.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's what Caitlin said. Lump to your stomach. I was like.

[Amy]

No, you said.

[Bobby Bones]

You said I didn't like it anyway. Because I wonder.

[Amy]

You didn't feel a difference because you didn't let them go through the entire lymphatic system. Like, it touched my stomach.

[Scuba Steve]

Hey, way to stand your ground.

[Amy]

Yeah, but let's. We need to open this up. Why don't you want them to touch your stomach now?

[Bobby Bones]

That's, like, three reasons. One, I had way too much pie before I went in.

[Scuba Steve]

Right. So you're embarrassed.

[Bobby Bones]

So I was embarrassed. Two, I don't like people touching my stomach. And also, if I touch my stomach, I flex it, and then they can't really rub it.

[Scuba Steve]

Have you seen the tickle monster on TikTok?

[Bobby Bones]

That dude's gonna get shot.

[Scuba Steve]

He goes up to people, tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Bobby Bones]

That dude's gonna get shot. You don't get shot. Have you seen Tickle Monster?

[Amy]

I haven't.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, just randomly tickles people with Tickle Monster.

[Amy]

Tickle Monster, she says on her phone.

[Bobby Bones]

So it gives it to her later.

[Scuba Steve]

It will.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't like, my stomach is. I have like weird scar tissue in it for my surgery and I'm. I have like self esteem issues, so I don't. Like, people touch my stomach.

[Amy]

Okay. Can I say something to you?

[Bobby Bones]

They're not going to push my scar tissue out of my stomach.

[Amy]

It will. Look, the type of lymphatic massage if you're going to the right person, which if you're with Caitlin, you are. It can help with the scar tissue.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't. It hasn't. I even get in that chair backward at the airport.

[Amy]

And why are you so confident? Like, how are you saying it won't and it doesn't. You've never tried it.

[Bobby Bones]

I've talked to my doctors and they're like, unless you want to get the scar tissue removed, there's really nothing you can do for that part of your child.

[Amy]

Maybe they're not familiar with lymphatic massage or. And even around the scar tissue, you might have water build up. She can release that out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I just don't want to touch my stomach. I'm self conscious of it. I've been my whole life. I got a huge scar going down. It's a whole thing, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah, but you are.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm what?

[Amy]

You persevere. You. I don't know, like, you break barriers all the time. You can't challenge yourself to get a little.

[Bobby Bones]

Little tummy touch. Nope, I don't like to touch my stomach.

[Amy]

But like, prove to yourself you can do it. Like, make it a competition.

[Scuba Steve]

Why do you want this to happen so bad?

[Amy]

Because I think it would help you.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyway, lymphatic massages, don't be fooled. It's not a real massage. Cause I was fooled.

[Amy]

But it is helpful.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can agree it is helpful.

[Amy]

Yeah, but just not for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. Yeah, it didn't work on me.

[Amy]

Cause you didn't allow. You didn't trust the process.

[Bobby Bones]

Correct. I don't trust a lot of people.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna get Amy one of those chairs for her birthday.

[Amy]

No, no, the one where I lay.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, the one where.

[Scuba Steve]

The one with the trampoline for it.

[Bobby Bones]

The one that hurts you.

[Scuba Steve]

A free one. That'd be cool.

[Amy]

I don't want that. No, you have to.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your good news? I feel.

[Amy]

Oh, my good news.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you drunk today?

[Lunchbox]

She didn't do her nails.

[Amy]

My good news is you don't do your nails.

[Bobby Bones]

And rich people said that's good and

[Amy]

now that's what's in. Don't you know that that trickles down to what's in style? Somewhere in the top tier they decide.

[Bobby Bones]

$13,000. Those chairs cost $13,000.

[Amy]

If you buy me one of those, I will be so mad.

[Scuba Steve]

Well, that's why they're. That's why you have to pay for them.

[Bobby Bones]

But dude, that is a commitment for a bit.

[Amy]

And, and I know how you like to come in.

[Bobby Bones]

I do love bits. But $13,000?

[Amy]

I mean, I'm gonna come home to one of those chairs.

[Bobby Bones]

I just know that's about a thousand dollars too much for the bit.

[Amy]

I'm sure you could find one on Facebook Marketplace for less.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, probably could. Who knows what was happening in that chair though.

[Amy]

Gosh, I don't want. You're right. I don't want a used one.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox do you have a tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

I do have a tell me something good. Yesterday got off work and I look outside Grace guys, the wind is a storm was rolling in. I jumped on that bike and I started riding and the drizzle started coming down. I'm like oh no, I'm about to get drenched. But I made it home and it didn't pour on me. It just a little bit of drizzle. Then it stopped raining so I made it home okay and I'm just going God I hate this. This is so stupid. Why did I ride my bike? Why do I ride my bike? But the rain God said don't worry, we're not going to get you that way. Just a little cool off. And I was good so I felt good.

[Scuba Steve]

Do you have a weather app?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. And it said it was supposed to rain at like 3 o'. Clock.

[Scuba Steve]

You should get one that's like an actual radar that kind of helps you give me give you an idea of like if it's gonna Rain or not,

[Lunchbox]

I just go to the Apple one. Like the, I just smell the air,

[Scuba Steve]

I smell that dirt.

[Lunchbox]

But you know, I'm talking about how the Apple one, you just go to weather, click on it and it says at what time? It says what percentage.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, but if you have like an actual radar one, it shows you like where the, the storm's moving, you know, how much time you have.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a pretty good one. But if I had a Jeep, and that's why I have mine, or if I was riding a bike needed to get from A to B, I would definitely invest the $99 into one of those apps that are a little more specific.

[Scuba Steve]

It tells you exactly when it's going to rank.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, really? I really didn't realize that. I really thought that Apple one was really good. I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It's pretty good, but it's not what they specialize in, so it just does a pretty good job.

[Lunchbox]

Got it. So you're saying I had to pay $1.99 a month?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm not saying anything. But you can buy like apps or you can download better free apps that have commercials in them.

[Lunchbox]

Because I've gone to weather.com and I don't know if this is new, but it's not. No, they wanted to charge me money to see the hourly. I'm like, what?

[Scuba Steve]

On the website?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, gotta make the money somehow.

[Amy]

I was like, well, do they want a donation or. For sure you can't see the hourly.

[Lunchbox]

I tried to click on hourly and it said if you would like to upgrade, you can pay. And I was like, no, I'm out.

[Amy]

Oh, you can go premium on the weather Channel. There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Eddie.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. So my seven year old, he made the all star baseball team.

[Bobby Bones]

Mike's looking at the hourly right now.

[Lunchbox]

Then why didn't. Right.

[Scuba Steve]

Did you pay for that, Mike?

[Bobby Bones]

I did not. I'm looking at it right now.

[Amy]

Oh, maybe it gives you a few

[Bobby Bones]

freebies, you can upgrade to premium. But I think you get 15 minutes a day of the hour. You already run out your time.

[Lunchbox]

I'm saying literally it popped up and I, I was like, no, I'm not paying for it. So I clicked out. So I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Air quality is good. 28.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so sorry. Your kid made all stars.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah, my seven year old, he made the the league all star team. So every team in the league picks three players to make the all star team.

[Bobby Bones]

That's really cool.

[Scuba Steve]

And he made it and he's got an All Star game in like two weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

That's really cool.

[Scuba Steve]

Which I'm assuming they're all going to like have different, like the same jersey, but then wear their different hats. I love it when they do that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's really cool. I never made All Stars as a kid.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Which is like eighth or ninth grade. Yeah. I didn't get to be pretty good until. Because I didn't develop physically until like 10th grade. Once I played high school ball, especially baseball. I made all the all district, all region, all those teams. But I now never as a young kid, I just wasn't strong and I wasn't good enough.

[Amy]

That's crazy. That's starting to make me wonder like how I made All Stars, because I did.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're like eight, right?

[Amy]

Yeah, I was younger, but.

[Scuba Steve]

Oh, because you were a switch hitter.

[Amy]

Yeah, I was a switch hitter for sure. But still I was on All Stars, but I wasn't a starter, obviously.

[Bobby Bones]

But were you a starter on your team?

[Amy]

Like when I was on the Red Sox, yeah. During normal season. I don't. I don't know. I played for the Mets, the Red Sox.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that an all star lottery by any.

[Scuba Steve]

How are you?

[Amy]

But my. My friend, my neighbor Jill, her mom, Susan Nemsky, Shout out. She was our coach. And she. She used. Growing up, she always called me Famous Amos. And I feel like maybe she somehow finagled me getting in because we're neighbors. Because looking back, I don't think I should have made all stars.

[Bobby Bones]

I never made it as a kid. I was always jealous because I was okay, but I never made. I never got to be on the like travel All Stars again when I got older. It was fun and cool, but yeah, I was always jealous of those kids. That's really neat.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah. Yeah, I'm proud of him.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's cool. You're going to be hitting the road.

[Scuba Steve]

No, it's not a travel team. It's just for the year. It's just like they just have one game and then they all play the game and then that's it. He's an All Star for this year.

[Amy]

Oh, like that.

[Bobby Bones]

But other dads and coaches see the kid and it could possibly help him on next year.

[Amy]

Our big tournament was in Slidell, Louisiana. Mm. Yeah, I remember. That's the trip where I saw my dad's girlfriend kinda in lingerie. I'll never forget.

[Scuba Steve]

Were your parents still married?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, then why did you see your dad's? Okay, good question. Aside from that, why'd you see her on lingerie?

[Amy]

Well, because we were at a hotel in Slidell, and my dad left his wallet in the car. And he asked me to go get his wallet. And I went to get the wallet, and his wal dropped on the ground and opened up to a photo of some pictures she had taken.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't her in person in it.

[Amy]

No. I don't think she would ever take her time to go to that tournament.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if she was like, at the hotel or another hotel room.

[Amy]

No. But I was like, why would my dad make this his wallet photo? Because you flip through your wallet. That was back when you used a wallet a lot. It's the 90s. There's cash.

[Bobby Bones]

We're familiar with the wallet.

[Amy]

I know we all had one for those that aren't cash credit.

[Bobby Bones]

I think everybody understands.

[Lunchbox]

Everybody knows what a wallet is.

[Amy]

There used to everybody. There used to be. You'd keep all your photos, like your kids photo, your family photo, and your

[Scuba Steve]

girlfriend's photo, your lingerie.

[Amy]

My dad had. I mean, they were living together. It's not. They just weren't actually married yet. Because my parents were still married, but. So it was his girlfriend at the time. And she was like posing all seductively in a little nightie. And I'm like, why? Why? That's why I'll never forget Slidell, Louisiana.

[Scuba Steve]

It was before phones. Like, that just would have been in his phone.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

You know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Lunchbox]

That's legit.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Scuba Steve]

And that wouldn't be weird if he had a picture of his girlfriend in his phone.

[Amy]

Right. But think about it. That's the one you put in your little computer.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably like, third flip, though. It wasn't on the top flip.

[Amy]

Well, it was when the wallet fell. That's what it landed on.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'll go quick on mine. Congratulations, Eddie.

[Scuba Steve]

That's cool. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I ordered a bunch of these posters for one of my studios a long time ago. And it was like three months. I got cool ones, like, say, by the Bill, some old school Weezer ones. I got them all in yesterday and they were all in good shape. I was pretty happy with that. Just took forever. Other than that, the baby slept all night, which I talked about. Another part of this was gonna be mine. Cause she was not sick, but she's dealing with a bunch of reflex reflux. And it's just miserable. Cause she'll be napping and it'll burn her. And then she's. Ah. So. But she slept all through the night. And that is a major win at this season of My Life. So those are my Two there. All right. You good over there?

[Abby]

Mm.

[Scuba Steve]

Anything else?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. There you go. All right. That's what it's all about.

[Amy]

Is there something wrong?

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

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

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. After learning about federal cuts to cancer research, rowan Reeve, a 12 year old metro Atlanta ran a lemonade stand to support the cause, to make money so they could do more cancer research. Made $22.25 now. Rowan has also been undergoing treatment for brain tumors since 2021. He gave the money that he worked so hard for to the hospital where he receives care, saying he wanted to help other kids. That story got out. They were sharing it on social media. An anonymous donor. They don't know who it is. $100,000.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

To the lemonade stand.

[Amy]

$100,000.

[Scuba Steve]

That's so cool.

[Amy]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. His neuro oncologist, Dr. Toby McDonald, says the reaction reflects the way that Rowan inspires people. He was first diagnosed with cancer at age 8. Surgery, radiation, chemo as part of his treatment. And he says he wanted the funds to go to the hospital because he felt like the hospital needed the money more than he did. That's from dick Sarto and 100,000 bucks. They don't know who gave the money, but that's a really great story. I wanted to share it. That's what it's all about.

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Nova is a four year old girl. She lives in Beaverton, Oregon. She's hanging out with Granny while mom's at work. They're hanging out at Granny's apartment. Granny's walking and Granny falls.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom.

[Lunchbox]

Granny hits her head on the counter. Down she goes. And Nova's like, something ain't right. So she goes next door and knock, says, hey, can you call 91 1? Granny fell. Granny fell. And so the neighbor called 911 and they came and Granny just was a little disoriented from her hitting her head. Maybe a slight concussion, but she's a okay, thanks to nova.

[Bobby Bones]

Would your 4 year olds be able to do that?

[Lunchbox]

No, they don't know what nine is.

[Scuba Steve]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

If you fell though, and hit your head, what would they do?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's a good question. I don't think my 4 year old know what to do.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you think?

[Lunchbox]

Go outside and play baseball?

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Amy]

What? No, I just forget about the whole thing?

[Lunchbox]

No, no, but my, like my, my 7 year old would probably know what to do. My 4 year old I don't think really would know what to do. A four year old doesn't know 91 1.

[Scuba Steve]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What would yours do?

[Scuba Steve]

My sevens. My youngest, he'll probably just go to the neighbor's house and be like, yeah, seven, though.

[Bobby Bones]

That makes sense. This is a four year old.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Four year old wouldn't know what to do.

[Scuba Steve]

I don probably just sit there and be like, mom, Grandma.

[Bobby Bones]

I had cut my thumb a little bit with a knife the other day and my baby came up, said, do you need a band aid? And put it on me. And it was a butterfly. And she completely patched me up.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Yeah. She's only seven weeks.

[Scuba Steve]

Seven weeks advanced.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know if that is.

[Amy]

What is it? She's Mensa.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, we haven't tested her, but, you know, who knows? All right, that's what it's all about.

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

That was. Tell me something good.

[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. 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.

[Public/Geico Advertiser]

It feels good to get good news. It feels good to Geico.

[Bobby Bones]
