[Commercial Voice]

Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody wants to be at the emergency vet, especially on Christmas. It's stressful, but it's also very expensive. The emergency vet, having been a bunch of times, is very expensive. One anonymous man knew this because he had done it and had to go and had to pay the big bill for it. And so on Christmas morning, he walked in. He didn't have a pet with an issue. He told the staff he was going to stick around for a few hours. And he had a stack of plain white envelopes, and every envelope was money. And he would pass it out to the people there because he knew one. They didn't plan to be there, so they probably didn't plan to spend that money. And. And it's a Christmas. And so we just handed out people with their pets in the emergency pet place money.

[Dad]

That is so cool.

[Amy]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That's someone who's been through it.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Dad]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Who knows? Because you wouldn't know do that unless you've been through it like that. The hospital staff said the lobby turned into a scene of pure emotion. There were tears, hugs. Some people were so moved, they tried to hand the money to the person sitting next to them to keep the chain of kindness going. That's not Starbucks. Just take the money. By the time the man had left, he covered the bills for 10 different families.

[Dad]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

That story's from MSN. We had to go with Stanley, my bulldog once because he got a chew toy stuck in his digestive system. I heard him open his mouth once, and it went squeak coming out of his mouth.

[Friend]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I had to load him up, and I was at the vet overnight for, like, seven to eight hours. And then they said, we can't get to him right now. We'll keep him. Because they had to go and surgically remove the chew toy from his intestines. And turns out he ended up passing it.

[Amy]

Oh, God, that's good. You're gonna be like, wait, what? He passed out?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Sorry, sorry.

[Amy]

I was like, we know he's still alive.

[Friend]

We know.

[Dad]

Stanley.

[Amy]

Yeah, he's still alive. So he just ended up. It went through the old system, and they had.

[Bobby Bones]

They had to take images of it every hour to make sure that it wasn't, like, stopping it where he would die. But the emergency vet is. It's terrible. You didn't plan to go there. You didn't plan to Spend that money and it costs a ton. And so there's that. I'd mentioned that Stanley, my bulldog, he has this thing where he sees poop and he runs and dives into it and we hate it. We've tried to get him to stop. So I got a shock collar and I'm not. I'm not shock collar guy. But I'm also not. You shouldn't do that. And there's a. We don't use the shock. We use the. It's just vibration. It scares the crap out of him. He doesn't do it anymore. He runs at it the first few and I vibrate. It's like whoa. And he just stops.

[Dad]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

It has helped dramatically. So for anybody out there going through it with their dog, we don't shock. And listen, you shock, you got a relationship with your dog. It's like spanking. I don't. I got spanked, but I don't think. Cuz I got it. It's right. I don't really have a relationship with it yet because we don't have a kid yet as it has a fine line. I think it's a fine line here. So I'm not going to judge you if you have it. But we don't shock.

[Amy]

Yeah, no. I will say last year I got one of those for my dog and it was a game changer. And now we don't. I don't even have to vibrate it or do the. No, there's also a noise too. I don't have to do that. I just show the remote and she is like, okay, all good here. I'm gonna sit down.

[Dad]

You know I have a water gun. But like I only had to do that one time. Now she just sees the gun and she's like, oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh yeah, we did that. Not for this. We had water. We would spray like out of a ball. But then we. Everything was wet.

[Julian Edelman]

Yeah, everything was wet all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

So we just kind of got annoyed with everything being wet.

[Amy]

Yeah, that didn't work. But the remote legit. Wait till. Stanley really like you just hold the remote. Yeah, you just go like you. And now I don't even need the exact remote. I just need anything that looks like the remote and she lays down.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess that's like a parent holding up a belt. Back in the day, it didn't matter which belt. Anyway, good story about that guy. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's time for the good news with Amy.

[Commercial Voice]

Tell me something good.

[Amy]

Well, this is cool. Glenda Akin is 84 years old, and she was just recognized by Guinness World Record for having the longest career as a female teacher at the same school. And it's at a Tennessee high school. She has been there 61 years as a classroom teacher and a librarian.

[Bobby Bones]

If she was. How old is she?

[Amy]

She's 84.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so just say you're eight. You can't be 18 to be a teacher. So if you say you're 22, you go to college, you're a teacher. And how long has she been there?

[Amy]

61 years. So her whole.

[Bobby Bones]

That's about it. So she pretty much.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Dad]

You tell me.

[Bobby Bones]

No one? No, I was just kind of guessing the age and when she started. That's crazy.

[Amy]

And the school honored her lasting impact. And she describes her school community, part of her extended family, and, I mean. Yeah, long enough.

[Bobby Bones]

We had a teacher named Mr. Tolleson at Mountain Pine who was there, Arkansas. Keith had him as a teacher.

[Amy]

Oh, and then you had him?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Dad]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

He was there 50 years, probably, and he was really old by the time that I had him, but he was still a pretty good teacher. But once I saw him in a Walmart in Galveston, Texas.

[Friend]

Like, that's random.

[Bobby Bones]

Most random moment of my life.

[Amy]

Vacationing at the beach.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I didn't talk to him.

[Amy]

You didn't talk to him?

[Bobby Bones]

I was just like, Mr. Tolleson. He looked at me. I ran. I was a kid. Oh. But again, I'm from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. Central Arkansas. The one time I'd been to Galveston, Galveston, Texas, I'm in a Walmart and I see my geography teacher, Mr. Tolleson.

[Dad]

Yeah, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Name something more random that's ever happened to you. Exactly.

[Dad]

Can't think of it.

[Bobby Bones]

There's nothing.

[Amy]

Moment. But, yeah, that's pretty random.

[Bobby Bones]

That should be in Guinness for the most random moment ever. Running into your geography teacher at Walmart in Galveston.

[Dad]

I mean, it's already shocking enough when you see him outside of school anywhere in normal clothes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Friend]

But then in another state.

[Dad]

Crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

What about. Because what we did not have were teachers on social media. Because we didn't have social media when we were young, like seventh grade. What about kids now? They get to see their teachers probably in a different light than we ever got to. Because they have the ability to follow or see them on social media.

[Amy]

Yeah, I think that often. Because sometimes teacher accounts will pop up. I don't. I don't follow them. There's this one guy, his video went viral. Because Khloe Kardashian commented on it and he's. Yeah, he's like an attractive, good looking teacher, but he's like, makes these videos in his classroom where there's like, you know, single, I can cook, like, and then Khloe Kardashian, you know, Khloe Kardashian, like, made some comment and it went totally viral. And I'm like, wait. So I start watching all of his videos and I was like, wow. His students really see a different side of him.

[Bobby Bones]

Three dimensional human.

[Health Product Announcer]

Or like the.

[Amy]

The teacher that's going so viral right now for cheese and her sweet potatoes that I told y' all about.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't seen this one.

[Amy]

You haven't? I told you about it in December. I was like, wow. I feel like I was ahead of it because now I just keep seeing it everywhere. But maybe it's just my algorithm. But like, People magazine covered it. She films these videos of herself eating during her break. So like breakfast before school, then lunch break, and then after school snack. But she talks to the camera and she eats like, so weird. She's kind of like, silly. But I'm like, are her students, like, watching her videos?

[Bobby Bones]

And also, you have to think teachers can be anywhere from the young end 23 to even 48 and do social media. 52 and do so and like, want to have a social media presence.

[Amy]

Yeah. And be clear. Like, she seems really sweet and cool, but it's just like, if I. If that was my teacher, like, would it be weird that I'm like, watching her eat?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably way more normal than we think. Because it's all. They've been exposed to kids, their teachers have had social media. Are there rules where teachers have to be private?

[Dad]

No. I mean, some of our kids, teachers, they're not private. My wife follows them and it's kind.

[Bobby Bones]

Of cool to see she follows them. But they're not private.

[Dad]

They are not private.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't know, because you can follow somebody. If they're private, they can accept it.

[Dad]

Yeah, I'm not. I'm not really sure about that. But it is cool to see what they're like outside of the classroom. Like, oh, cool. That's a. She's a Cowboys fan. Awesome. You know, like, they do they have a personality outside of their classroom?

[Bobby Bones]

They shouldn't.

[Amy]

I know, it's like, I don't want.

[Bobby Bones]

We need our teachers to be robots. Back in the good old days, our teachers were robots. And if they did anything, they did in the smoking room.

[Dad]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They were in there secretly smoking it up. All right. That's good story. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

The Bobby Bone Show. Alright, here's a voicemail that should make somebody on the show feel good.

[Eddie]

I think Eddie's salsa bit is funny every time. I think it's a better bit that he keeps saying it and can't stop or supposedly can't stop than just saying it once and it being funny. I've called before, I'm gonna call it again. We ask my boy Eddie.

[Bobby Bones]

Alright?

[Dad]

Oh, that's my dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think it's your oldest son.

[Amy]

Thought he sounded familiar.

[Dad]

Hey guys, it's not a bit like that's how I say salsa. I've never said salsa or however you say salsa.

[Friend]

No, just salsa Salsa.

[Dad]

Never said that in my life.

[Bobby Bones]

There was an extra effect on it as all we were saying while we were singing the song.

[Dad]

Oh, the 12 days of Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I also think there's something to his point of if you keep doing it, it stays funny if you just beat it to death. But it's like getting a haircut, you know, and then growing your hair out. There's an awkward stage always from when it's normal and then when it gets good again and you're in that awkward stage where it's not funny to us right now.

[Dad]

You don't think it's funny that I.

[Bobby Bones]

Say salsa one time?

[Dad]

So should I listen to my boy and just keep saying it?

[Bobby Bones]

Your boy sounds 15.

[Amy]

I mean, if it's how you say it, then that's what you have to stick with.

[Dad]

That's what I'm saying. That's just how I say it. Guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Be yourself. Hey, play this other one about Eddie.

[Eddie]

Eddie is what we would refer to as a snowplow parent, where you go in front of your kids and just move all the problems out of the way for them so they never have to experience any struggles. All right, have a great day. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's a helicopter parent that hovers, but is always hovering, watching, but from a bit of a distance. There's a Velcro parent which is right by the side, attached, stick to them. And then there's a snowplow parent.

[Dad]

Wow. So you just take all the problems away. That way they just have a normal life.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not a normal life.

[Dad]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

If you remove all the problems and a kid or a human never face it, Faces adversity. When they finally do face it, they'll struggle extra.

[Amy]

Yeah, they're not going to know what to do.

[Dad]

Oh, but I mean, you want them to have a good life, right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's why you let them go through hard things early. So when they hit hard things later, hard things don't completely reshape their path.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Dad]

Okay.

[Amy]

Sometimes the hardest thing to do as a parent is to do nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Dad]

Nah, I can do that easily.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's a work.

[Dad]

Just sit around, do nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

That doesn't seem like what you do. I think you're a good parent, but I think you're way in the mix.

[Amy]

Yeah. I wonder what made the. What he shared that made the caller do that, because I don't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

I think years and years of being.

[Amy]

On the screen, stories piled up. Data.

[Dad]

A lot of data.

[Bobby Bones]

They compiled five years of data. Okay. Thank you for the voicemails. You can always call us and leave a voicemail if you want. If you have it, tell me something good on a voicemail, let us know. We'd love to hear those as well. 87777 Bobby 87777 B O B. Harvard research reveals that couples who spend money on services that save them time and effort enjoy their relationships more. Those would be like house cleaning or even ordering takeout. Because what that does is it saves one or both of them from having to cook and do the dishes. I feel like do the dishes isn't counted in there as much. Your thoughts?

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean I think if that's part of your budget and you can swing that, that's. Yeah, that could be great.

[Bobby Bones]

According to a six week study, busy dual income couples who made time saving purchases on a given day reported being happier and more satisfied with their relationships. Even if you can't afford to outsource bigger house chores, this behavioral scientist says that even a little bit helps free up time to connect.

[Amy]

Hmm. So they're saying even if you can't afford it, do it.

[Bobby Bones]

What I feel like they're saying is if you can find a way to afford it. Gotcha. It's probably, it should probably be made a priority if it can be. If you're having trouble connecting.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like maybe when you are budgeting, like. Yes. Like you just said, make it a priority. Put it at the top of the list so that y' all can have more time to connect. I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me ask you a personal question.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

How many dinners a week do you eat with your boyfriend?

[Amy]

It depends on the week. Like on average, 1, 2. You mean like with the whole family?

[Bobby Bones]

How many of those a week do you have with your boyfriend?

[Amy]

I'll say one to two times a week. We try to. Either he'll come over with all of his kids or I'll go over with mine. It's rarely. Or if I am kidless that week because they're with their dad, all pop over for dinner, which is great because he is. He works full time and then he's got his kids and so he does have someone like that helps him with the kids and cooking. So I go over there and I feel like I can.
