Bobby Bones
Come on, Bobby.
Lunchbox
Transmitting across America.
Bobby Bones
Let's go. Amy, what do you have over there?
Amy
Well, so my daughter and I have been talking about college a lot because she's a junior in high school, and so it's just led to a lot of conversation. She was talking to me about my major and if I would redo anything. And I'm like, I didn't even know what I wanted to do when I was in college and just got me thinking about what I would redo if I could redo anything, and I would totally have a different major.
Bobby Bones
So your major was farm?
Amy
Well, no, I was first. I was political science till my junior year. And then I. Why that I don't know. I just thought I liked it. I wanted to go to D.C. i thought I wanted to work in that space, not in politics myself. As a politician, I just saw myself working in some capacity. Like my mom worked at the Capitol for a little bit and I would go up there and I guess I always thought that that was kind of cool. I liked the energy until I got to the upper level classes. And I was like, this is horrible. I actually do not like this at all. And I went to my guidance counselor and I said, what can I do? Because I've taken all these classes and I don't want them to go to waste and I still want to graduate on time. Ish. And she said, well, you can go get an agricultural development degree because you have to have an emphasis in something. An emphasis is just short of a minor. And so all My poli sci classes went to that. So I have a degree in agricultural development with an emphasis in poli sci.
Lunchbox
Interesting.
Amy
And I would totally redo that. Like, I would have done, like, a psychology major or something. That was, like, interesting to me, because I don't. I don't know that I was going to college for anything specific because I didn't know what I wanted to do. And here. This is my career, and I still want to do this. So if I could redo college, I would have learned more about us and our bodies and why we are our minds, why we are the way we are.
Bobby Bones
If I were going to redo, I think I wouldn't go to college.
Amy
Okay. Or that. Or that.
Bobby Bones
Now, oh, man, I am happy. I did. Nobody in my family ever went to college. Nobody ever graduated high school. So that's the reason I finished school. That's the reason I did it all, because no one ever had. And that was a goal for me. But not everybody needs college. I don't feel like to do what I've done, I need college. I started doing this when I started college, so I wouldn't redo it. But if I were to redo it, I don't think I would, because let's take away the factors of, like, I want to be the only one to graduate high school. I want to go to college.
Amy
That part school. But also, you didn't have a. And I know that not everybody has this experience, but I think most of us in this room did have, like, a college experience. Like, of college life. Like, you didn't have that. You worked and studied 24 7.
Bobby Bones
That's why I know sucked.
Lunchbox
Dude, the best years of our lives were in college.
Bobby Bones
Kind of sucked for me. It was.
Eddie
Yeah. That's interesting.
Bobby Bones
Getting back, I drove an hour and a half to work every day.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. That's why I'm saying, like, you would probably skip college, but, like, for some people, it was like, oh, college is. Was fun.
Lunchbox
I would never skip college.
Bobby Bones
I didn't need.
Lunchbox
I would do college again just the.
Bobby Bones
Way I did it. Oh, you just need a straight repeat.
Lunchbox
Oh, dude, it was awesome.
Amy
Yeah, I probably would have studied more.
Bobby Bones
What would you. But change? Because my change is gonna be. I wouldn't have gone.
Eddie
Yeah, okay.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Eddie, what is your change, man?
Lunchbox
I have to think hard about this, because, I mean, my major was good. It was radio, television, film. So I'm still kind of in it, you know? Like, I did want to be a reporter. Like, that's what I really Wanted a news reporter. Then when I graduated, it's just that didn't happen. And so, like, whatever. But I think I would've liked to take business classes. I did waste a lot of time taking classes that I'm never like, I took weather and climate three times.
Bobby Bones
Because you loved it so much.
Lunchbox
No. Cause I failed.
Bobby Bones
I failed two times.
Lunchbox
And it's like, so stupid. Why did I just quit the first time and just do business classes like finance?
Eddie
Oh, that's tough, man.
Lunchbox
I would have loved to go back and do that lunchbox.
Eddie
I wouldn't have double majored.
Bobby Bones
You didn't graduate.
Eddie
I know, but I did double major. I did speech, communication and public relations. Two different.
Bobby Bones
That's not the same thing.
Eddie
No, it's two different. And so it was so stupid because the counselor makes it sound so awesome. But I didn't get to take any, like, bowling or like, any stupid classes.
Amy
Oh, like, I did power walking.
Eddie
Like, that's what I'm saying. I didn't get to take any of those because I was double majoring. I'm like, why did I do that? How stupid was I? I should have been taking basketball. Like, my roommate took golf, got credit for it.
Bobby Bones
I'm like, come on, do you have the same passion that you wish you just would have finished the three hours and got your same passion? I thought his change would have been I took one more class and graduated.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
No. No, it wouldn't. I would have not double majored. That was just absolutely stupid.
Bobby Bones
You need three hours to graduate.
Eddie
I mean, speech, communication, public relations, and a minor in general business. I mean, I didn't take any blow off client. How stupid was I?
Bobby Bones
But did you blow off the classes that you were taking?
Eddie
Yeah. I mean, but still, you got it in.
Bobby Bones
You got a little blow.
Amy
Do you remember your gpa?
Eddie
I was passing. I know, I know that I didn't get.
Bobby Bones
How many times did weather and climate.
Eddie
I didn't take any of that. I didn't take any of that. I do not know, Amy, but I know that I didn't maintain a high enough GPA to get my scholarship renewed for a second year.
Bobby Bones
Which scholarship?
Eddie
Austin Livestock and Rodeo.
Lunchbox
How much was that?
Eddie
I was like fifteen hundred dollars. I want to shout out Chasco Contracting. Oh, yeah, they are the ones that sponsored me. And I didn't know this, but once the freshman year ended, they send you a letter and they say, hey, if you maintain this gpa, show us and we will continue your scholarship for a second year. And I'm like, why didn't they tell me that beforehand.
Bobby Bones
Why. Why'd you get that scholarship? Like achievement. Academic achievement?
Eddie
No, Austin Livestock and Rodeo. I just filled out all that.
Amy
Mom did.
Eddie
No, no. I filled out the scholarships. She filled out the college application.
Amy
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
I mean, don't be stupid.
Lunchbox
Come on.
Amy
Sorry, sorry. I forgot.
Lunchbox
So, Lunchbox, when you got accepted, you didn't even know you had applied there? Your mom had.
Eddie
No. She asked me. She said, what do you think about utsa? And I was like, I'd run a couple of cross country meets there. And I was like, that's fine. She goes, all right. And she goes, oh, you got in. I'm like, all right. I guess that's where I'm going.
Bobby Bones
Was there anywhere you applied and didn't get in?
Eddie
No, that was only an application she filled out.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Bobby Bones
I said, you.
Eddie
No, no, I didn't fill out.
Bobby Bones
You fill out any?
Eddie
None.
Bobby Bones
She did. The only one. Yeah.
Amy
I only applied to one college, and I didn't get.
Lunchbox
Yeah, yeah.
Eddie
My counselor in high. I mean, she was such a. She sucked, but she was like, it's just the same shame. You're just gonna go to acc. You know what I mean? You should be more motivated, which is.
Bobby Bones
A community college for everybody. I don't know what that is.
Amy
And there's not.
Eddie
And I was like, whatever. And I was like, my mom's gonna fill out the application. We're gonna be good.
Lunchbox
You know, my dad told me that I can go wherever I wanted. I was like.
Amy
But he knew that it was limited.
Lunchbox
I don't know if he knew or anything.
Bobby Bones
He knew parentheses. You can try to go wherever you wanted.
Eddie
Parents told me not everybody goes to college. College is not for everyone. You might want to just get a job.
Lunchbox
My dad said, if you get into any college, I will help you go to that college, knowing, I don't know.
Bobby Bones
That you wouldn't get into anything.
Amy
So where'd you apply?
Lunchbox
Ucla, baby.
Bobby Bones
Did you. Did you get in?
Lunchbox
Nope, I did not get in.
Eddie
You applied to ucla?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I was like, I want to go to la. That's where I want to go.
Bobby Bones
So you're.
Lunchbox
And I did a USC film school. Didn't get accepted.
Bobby Bones
Your dad was like, wherever you go, I got you.
Lunchbox
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
But he probably knew it'd be tough to get in somewhere good. Lunchbox's parents were like, you don't have.
Eddie
To go to college, man. Like, you can just work. It's okay to just get a job after high school.
Bobby Bones
Amy, what were your parents like?
Amy
I don't really remember My dad having any opinion. I lived with my mom, and I remember my sister went to Texas A and M. And so I like. So she's like, if that's where you go, that's where you should apply. But she didn't go to college, so she just sort of helped me a little bit. But I was like, okay, I'm just applying to Texas A and M and that's it. And then I didn't get in. And I was like, well, what do I do now? So then I went to Blinn, which was a community college that feeds. Yes, it's right next to it. It's in Bryan, which is right next to College Station. And I left Blinn with a 3.9 GPA. Got into a and M my sophomore year. Then I rushed and did the whole. The sorority thing. And then I lived my college life. But that just showed me if I, like, really hunkered down and applied myself. Like, once I felt that embarrassment of, like, I didn't get into college, I was like, okay, I'm gonna prove that I can do this. So I left. I got the three, nine. I got in, and then it's pretty solid.
Bobby Bones
Three nine.
Amy
Oh, yeah. No, I was on fire. And then once I got in, I was like, okay, I'm here.
Lunchbox
Party time.
Bobby Bones
Got it. When I moved off to college, my parents even know I was going to college. They just always figured I would or something. And I remember just being like, all right, guys, tomorrow I'm leaving. And they were like, cool. And they were like, where? I was like, I'm moving to college. And so I packed up Subaru and drove. Just left.
Lunchbox
It's crazy.
Amy
You did all that on your own.
Bobby Bones
There wasn't. You can't do it. There wasn't. You can do it. There was just no conversation about it. And so, yeah, I was like, I'm.
Lunchbox
Leaving tomorrow, but how did you know to apply and all that? Like, your counselors. Would they tell you about it?
Bobby Bones
Counselors? I want to mount mine, dude.
Lunchbox
That's what I'm saying. Like, how did you even know that college was an option?
Amy
Didn't have, like, any guidance.
Bobby Bones
Surely I'm telling brochures in the office I can't, dude. Yeah.
Eddie
How did you know? Take the sats and stuff? I took mine, like, a month before school.
Bobby Bones
I took mine in seventh grade. My first one in seventh grade. Because they were like, if you want to get into a good college, this will be the test you want to take. And I was in gt, which was a gift. And Talented program. And so I think that's probably where I was told that you should start doing this young. So I took it in seventh grade, the ACT and I scored high enough. I got a scholarship in seventh grade for like a score like 23 or 24.
Lunchbox
In seventh grade you could have gone to UCLA, man.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if that's true or not.
Eddie
USC, Phil.
Bobby Bones
But I could have gotten in any Arkansas school paid for in seventh grade.
Amy
Probably would have gotten into a. M.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, out of state, who knows? Probably being in GT because there was an expectation that was put on me. But also I was like, I gotta get out of this place. So I don't know the. I don't know the real answer, but I would say probably that. But yeah, no, I just left. I was like, all right. But no. What's it like? It was. There was no attachment. Sad or happy. It's not like I'm like, wah wah. Or like, look at me. It was just, alright, guys, I'm off. I guess I'll. Let's see you. Want to see you. I'm going to college now. All right.
Lunchbox
Did they think like at first, oh, he's going to the store, like, you're just gonna.
Bobby Bones
It wasn't like dad for cigarettes and didn't come back. I don't think that was it. No, I don't. Honestly, I don't have a memory of anything other than, hey, I'm going to college tomorrow. Wow. And they were like, oh, yeah. Really? Yeah, yeah. So I'll be moving out. I lived on the couch. I slept on the couch. I took my clothes from underneath the couch, put it in the back of the Subaru. That's it. Moved down to the dorm, drove.
Lunchbox
Now, were you scared, excited?
Bobby Bones
Oh, God, no, no, More like business trip. Let's go get this. I gotta get it. Dang.
Lunchbox
At 18 business trip. That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
But is. Yeah, no, but I wasn't dreading it, but I wasn't excited. It was like, okay, I only got four more years of this crap and I'm done with school. Like, I'm going to do it. I'm done with school and I'll be the one that does it. And then one day when I have kids, I'll be like, look, people, people can do this. But no, no. There was no excitement. It was just like, time to go on a business trip. Let's finish this up and get out of here. Is. No, no, no. Not sad, Bow.
Lunchbox
No, it's just. Wow. It's crazy. It's just different than our stories.
Bobby Bones
But everybody's stories. Your story about your dad's hilarious.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
He's like, dude, you want to go to Harvard, you go for it, but I'll help you.
Lunchbox
But that was. It was so late, too, because I didn't know about college. So the reason I found out about college, because none of my family had ever gone to college. Like, extended family. Cousins never went to college. Aunts, uncles, they don't college. There's. That wasn't a thing for us. But when all my friends started, like, I remember being a senior, and they're like, wow, like, so and so is going to Texas A and M. Like, what? Like, how did you even do that? That's cool.
Amy
So you were applying to ucla, but.
Lunchbox
Like, no, no, no.
Amy
I hadn't passed the deadline.
Lunchbox
No, no, no, no. I didn't even know. Think about applying to anything. And then I. And my. That's when my dad was like, hey, you know, all your friends are all gone.
Bobby Bones
But you graduated, then applied for the first time. Yeah.
Lunchbox
So it was a transfer application.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
Yeah. I had no idea. Like, I was like, how do you do that? Like, you guys are going to Texas. Like, that's cool. How did you do that? Like, did we apply when you're, like, last year.
Amy
Right.
Lunchbox
Didn't know that.
Bobby Bones
So I'm fortunate that where you didn't have somebody explaining it. I'm fortunate that I was in a class somehow.
Amy
You knew. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'm. I would bet money that it was, like, the gifted and talented instructors that were, like, everybody that's in this class and only a few of us each year. This is how you go to college. I'm sure that was part of the teaching there.
Lunchbox
And so they may have said that in my class. I just didn't hear it.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy that you didn't apply until after you graduated.
Lunchbox
No clue. And I had taken SAT because I think. Lunchbox. You're right. I think you did have to take it.
Eddie
I mean, I took it the last, like, in March of my senior year.
Bobby Bones
I mean, we only took the act. You did.
Eddie
I didn't. I took SAT once.
Amy
Well, maybe I took both. Just.
Eddie
I got a 10. 10.
Bobby Bones
Maybe you'd be better at one. Your secret skill is one and not the other.
Amy
I took the SAT three times.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy. You didn't apply until after graduation.
Lunchbox
I had no idea.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think another factor, if I think about it, was part of my environment in school. I was, like, captain of the Quiz bowl team. From the senior high team. So I was there in other kids that were smart or nerd or whatever you want to call it, however you want to define them, but they were all education oriented people. So you are your environment. And that was a big part of my environment. I think that's probably where I was exposed to it there. So I can't. Eddie's like 28. I can go to college.
Lunchbox
I mean, I mean I did.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I graduated six years later. It was a six year degree.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but that's on you for going six years. I'm saying you're 28, like looking to go to college for the first time.
Lunchbox
Yeah, because when I graduated that summer, like, well, they're like, well, you're gonna go to school at all? And I was like, well, there's one down the road. University of Texas, Pan Am.
Bobby Bones
Did you do that? Yeah.
Lunchbox
So I a couple classes there and it took me two years to actually get accepted to Sam Houston State, which where I eventually went to. But I would just apply and apply, get turned down, apply again. And then finally they said yes and I went. UCLA said no, though.
Bobby Bones
And film school.
Eddie
So, hey, were you a freshman in the Dorms like at 22?
Lunchbox
I never stayed at the dorms. I stayed in my parents house.
Bobby Bones
Oh. Because it was close enough to home.
Lunchbox
And then when I went to.
Amy
What do we call that? Was he an unconventional, non traditional. Non traditional student?
Bobby Bones
No, because he was two years older and he had been to junior College.
Lunchbox
I was 19, 18, 19, living at home.
Bobby Bones
Hey, give the guy a break over here. Okay.
Lunchbox
Well, unconventional though.
Eddie
I can't believe you didn't live in the dorms.
Bobby Bones
She's saying you're like the 35 year old. That's a class that you're like, that's not funny.
Lunchbox
It's not funny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, okay, we're done here.
Amy
No, it's like whenever you want to go.

There's a.
Bobby Bones
Question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I have a close friend who we hang out with all the time. What he doesn't know is that this friend and I briefly dated years ago, long before I met my husband. It wasn't too serious, so I never felt the need to bring it up. Now that we are all so close, I sometimes wonder if I should come clean just in case he finds out from someone else. But I'm afraid it can make things awkward or create tension. Should I tell him? Or is it better to let this sleeping dog lie? Signed, the Dating Secret Keeper. So here are the two things you have to weigh. One, if he finds out at a later time, how bad is that going to be? You know your husband. I'd feel pretty betrayed that you didn't tell me. Some men may not. I think you're gonna have to judge your husband's reaction to him finding out at a different time. Because I think eventually, at some point, it is going. Its head is gonna do whack a moop. Hello. It's. It's just gonna happen.
Lunchbox
Maybe not, Maybe not.
Bobby Bones
But I'm gonna say probably, somehow it will.
Amy
So you might as well get ahead of it.
Bobby Bones
Well, versus if. How mad will he be if you just tell him now? Because if you wait 2 years, 8 years, 12 years, it could possibly get a lot worse. If you tell him now, probably not gonna be fun. It's an uncomfortable. You have done this, though. So before you start to feel sorry for yourself in the situation that you go through, you have done this. The Dating Secret keeper. If it were me, I think it's going to be uncomfortable anyway. I think I just tell them immediately, as soon as possible, because it's gonna suck. And you might as well get suck over with. It's why when I work out, if I. If it's a day that I don't have something scheduled and I'm like, I gotta get something in, I will go do it immediately, as fast as possible, because I hate. But I want it to be over with as fast as possible because it's gonna suck. But I would rather that that suck is gonna happen regardless. I'd rather go out and get it over with. And all the time leading up to the suck, you're going thinking about it a lot. It's stressing you out, right?
Amy
So then you can really, every once in a while.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, absolutely. You did this, though. So don't feel sorry for yourself. But you have to tell them.
Amy
But you're right that everybody's different and how they'll respond.
Bobby Bones
I have a feeling the response will not be like, it's hilarious. I have a feeling that won't be the response. But it could be a level of hurt or anger even at the friend. Like how. How the friend not say anything. There's going to be drama. It just needs to be said now. But even if you get in like a pact with that other friend, like, we're never going to say anything. You can't trust anybody to nuts. You can't even trust him. This new friend, he's got something against you. Can blackmail you.
Amy
Oh, gosh, that went.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. You know the dirty pictures you took with him? He gets on. Sorry, I'm going to play this now.
Amy
I was like, I don't know. The therapist is an dirty picture.
Bobby Bones
My real advice would be to immediately, immediately, immediately say it. And don't do a whole thing where it's like, I got something to say. I got something. You just say, stand him up. Sit them down. Whatever the case is. Sit on the couch. Like, hey, I need to tell you something. And the reason I haven't told you is because it just felt awkward and awkward and I want to get this over with. But a long time ago, like, Jonathan, I went on like three dates and it was so nothing. It's like when you meet somebody and you don't know their name and then you start hanging around them a lot. And then like a month later you still don't know their name, but you don't want to ask them their name because you kind of know them now. You guys ever do that? Oh, no, just me. Okay, well, so it feels like that situation. So you gotta just do it. Rip the bandaid off. Because eventually it's gonna the worst. It's gonna be worse the longer you wait. That's it. Do it. Or just hold on forever and hope it never comes out. But that's like a. It just sits in there in that gut. That's on you, though.
Lunchbox
This is stressful, man.
Bobby Bones
That's right. Just say it and get it over with. You better hope you didn't do it with them.
Lunchbox
Oh, she didn't say that. She did.
Bobby Bones
But if she. Because some people can just kind of date, but they still do it. Yeah. If you did it with them.
Amy
Do you have to say that part?
Bobby Bones
He'll ask.
Amy
He will.
Bobby Bones
Oh, for sure.
Lunchbox
Oh, 100%.
Bobby Bones
Has he seen you naked?
Amy
What if he's really. What if he's just like, okay.
Bobby Bones
And if that's the case, this guy's no longer going to be a friend anymore. It never should have been without it being set up front. So good luck. Let us know how that goes. Holy crap. All right, that's it, Bones. A voicemail from Kelsey in North Dakota.

Since you and Eddie are pretty good friends with Kip Moore, I see he's got an album coming out at the end of the month in February and looks like he's self producing it and has released some new music. Just wondering if you can tell us anything about what's going on with him or if he's coming into the studio to talk about new music in his upcoming album. Thanks, Bobby. Love the show.
Lunchbox
Something about a truck.
Bobby Bones
Kip Moore will be coming in the studio next month to talk about this. Eddie's probably a little closer to Kip than I am.
Lunchbox
Although I haven't heard from Kip in a few years.
Bobby Bones
I think even Kip's closest people can say that he just disappears. Kip will be in in February, so we'll know when you know. We haven't talked to him in a little bit, though, but I appreciate that call. Thank you very much. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Amy
Well, apparently 7 out of 10 men want better Valentine's Day gifts.
Bobby Bones
Interesting. I feel like I've been conditioned to have no expectation of Valentine's Day gifts.
Amy
Well, some men are opening up. They're getting vulnerable, and they're saying, we actually want to be a part of this day. And they're dropping hints like, we want to feel special, too.
Bobby Bones
I think guys just want presents. Let's be honest. And my wife does a really good job of getting me a gift for Valentine's Day. But I don't think guys care about feeling special in the Valentine's Day romantic sense. I think this is just their spot to go. I want a prize. I want a treat. Like, we're just getting you stuff.
Amy
I saw this place called Manly Man Company and they've got lots of Valentine's Day gift options for guys, like a beef jerky flour bouquet.
Bobby Bones
Those are always lame. I would recommend. Yeah, I would recommend. Not that that's lame specifically, but don't try to match in the theme of man, of what guys are getting girls.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Like, guys get flowers, but I would just get something would actually use, like, get your guy, like, I'll be extremely basic and sexist. Get him, like, tickets to a game.
Amy
Oh, I thought you say a video game.
Bobby Bones
No, I'll get it. Get him something that he likes. It's like, fun, you know, more than, like, Flowers made of whiskey handles.
Amy
So it's good to know.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but I would say the same thing. Like get your wife or your girlfriend a little thing of flowers if you can. As long as you didn't get them when they're way marked up. But like get her something that she'll actually use or, and like, not like a vacuum. Yeah.
Amy
Apparently multitasking is turning us into half wits. According to a neuroscientist named Dr. Dr. James Turner. He said the concept of multitasking is a myth because the human brain isn't designed to handle more than one task at a time. So when we do this, we take on simultaneous tasks. It reduces our memory, we have poor decision making skills and there's long term brain decline.
Bobby Bones
Never thought about it like that with the brain decline. But I don't think as much anymore. And now because my brain's declining, I don't know why.
Amy
Because you multitask all the time.
Bobby Bones
Exactly.
Amy
Yeah. But we've been, we've been conditioned to believe that, oh yeah, we can multitask. Or I'm a bad multitask. Multitasker. But the long term effects, now they're starting to see research that's like, oh, maybe multitasking not so good.
Bobby Bones
I've been conditioned to believe that I must multitask. I would rather not. I would rather focus on one thing. But I think a lot of us, in order to be good at a job, be a good parent, be whatever it is, you have to do two or three things at once and some of that half wet stuff. Okay. Welcome to the show. That's the life we live.
Amy
Yeah, but you can re train your brain.
Bobby Bones
Nah, not me. I'm too late.
Amy
Nope. Blake Shelton said that back in the day he was known to hang when it came to partying. Like he could be the one that could like last all night. And now that he's become friends with Post Malone and hung out with him, he has next level party skills. He says, I used to think I.
Bobby Bones
Could go pretty hard back in the day.
Lunchbox
I, I, nobody I've ever met has.
Bobby Bones
Anything on Post Malone.
Amy
I mean he is, he is this.
Bobby Bones
He is living a stereotypical country song every day of his life. When I was with him in Dallas, we were rehearsing for something later that night and it was like, what'd you do last night? He was like, I went to the bar and they, I think kept the bar open for him till like 5am wow. And our rehearsal was at like 10. And I'm assuming he didn't just stop at 5. Like I felt like close it down and go right home and go to bed. So I think, yeah, I think postco's pretty hard.
Amy
The long term brain impact on halfway. That clip is from Blake Shelton talking to cmt. By the way, I'm Amy. That's my pile.
Bobby Bones
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
Lunchbox
This is cool. Carissa Fisher. She's 21 years old. She's a member of the U.S. air Force, but she used to be a daycare teacher. And she found out recently that one of her students, he's five years old now, is suffering from a liver disease and needs a donation. So what does she do? She went to the doctor, got tested, she's a match. And she donated a piece of her liver and now it's inside of Ezra. And Ezra's recovering and he's doing great.
Bobby Bones
Human body's crazy. First of all, great job by her selfless saving, changing a life. Human body's crazy one. Just imagine we get a cut and that thing heals itself. It happens all the time, every day, so we don't think about it much. It heals itself. Like cut heal. Watch this. I was going to show you guys how it worked. Oh, my gosh, no. But no. Like if I watch go. Ripped piece of paper.
Eddie
I thought you're doing a paper.
Bobby Bones
We can look at this all day.
Lunchbox
That will not heal.
Bobby Bones
It will not heal itself. The human body heals itself. It's wild.
Lunchbox
Well, you know, yeah. Cut is one thing, but a liver, you can cut a piece of the.
Bobby Bones
Liver and then it again generates, regenerates as a whole liver.
Lunchbox
Amazing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
A couple weeks later, you got your liver back.
Lunchbox
I don't know if it's that quick, but it comes back.
Bobby Bones
Human body's wild. That's a great story. Good for her. Great for him. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Fill in the blank. Amy. Women reach full emotional maturity at blank age 26, 32.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Men, 45, 43. Oh, I was closer. It is the exact age difference with me and my wife is what's hilarious.
Amy
Oh, wow.
Lunchbox
So you're both mature because we're like.
Bobby Bones
11 years and seven months closer to 12, but we're the same. She's still more mature than me, I'll be honest with you. But still, I was reading the story. So the big difference in emotional maturity between genders, revealing that women typically reach full maturity by 32. Men continue to develop until 43 years old. The research found that 80% of the world perceived men as retaining childish behaviors, such as a pension for fast food and video games, well into their adulthood. What would your explanation be if you had to make one? Amy, you're presenting at a scientific conference. Please tell us why men are far less mature.
Amy
Good question. I know that our. Well, for women, we mature faster, but I wonder why y'all hold on to these childlike behaviors.
Bobby Bones
If I were to be giving the same speech at the same time in a different room. I think a couple things are. One, I think women have children, which I think biologically, hormonally.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
So I think that's a thing. And also, whenever they say matures, like, I think there are different avenues of maturation. Meaning for me, I am a wildly mature person in certain parts of my life because I had to be as a dude, first of all, you're expected to be, like, masculine. Take care. I don't have all those. But as somebody who grew up without much means, I had to mature. I had to work early. I had to. But when it comes to, like, video games, dude, I'm 12. Or emotional maturity with, like, relationships, I'm probably 14 now. Because that wasn't what was told to me. Had to develop, like, as a kid, your dad or your male influences aren't, like, you really should get great at having really personal, emotional conversations. I think culture is a big part of why. I don't think it's just biology that makes women mature faster. I think. I think it's a standard, a cultural standard that's set on them. But again, I also think they're not factoring in the total 360 of mature.
Amy
And I just think generally women have more empathy and self awareness and cultural. All of that is called they should the eq.
Bobby Bones
And you don't enjoy fart jokes as much as we do, but because we're.
Amy
Not told by other guys, be immature and playful.
Bobby Bones
Anybody that says that can't mean.
Eddie
That means it's not natural.
Bobby Bones
You're trying too hard.
Amy
No, I'm fun.
Bobby Bones
Anybody that screams, I'm fine.
Amy
Also, like, I'm breezy. Yes, I'm. I'm mature. What? Wait, didn't work there. Because I am mature.
Eddie
That was a joke.
Bobby Bones
In many parts of your life, you're. Yeah, you're. But also very immature.
Amy
I can be very, very immature, guys.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're pretty mature all the time.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, for the most part. I did win a scratch off this morning.
Lunchbox
You did?
Bobby Bones
Ray, breaking news. Hit me with the Breaking news. So my new year's resolution has been to win a thousand dollars on a scratch off.
Lunchbox
Come on, man.
Bobby Bones
And I'm gonna scratch every. Almost every day, but sometimes I just forget I scratched. And this is my first winner of the year on a 50 jumbo bucks went up to 5 million dollar ticket. I have won $100.
Amy
Wow.
Bobby Bones
So it is not the thousand dollars we were looking for.
Lunchbox
It's okay.
Bobby Bones
But it is. It's something.
Lunchbox
And you're going to stop when you hit a thousand dollars, not when you get up to a thousand dollars. Right.
Bobby Bones
And, oh, up to doesn't count. I want to hit a thousand.
Lunchbox
There we go.
Bobby Bones
Because Lunchbox plays all the time and has never. So that would be just the funniest bit. Like, I want a thousand dollars on the crotch off.
Eddie
I've won 250.
Bobby Bones
So when I win 300, that's going to be, oh, my goodness, a record there.
Amy
So you're doing it just to annoy him?
Eddie
Yeah, basically.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, basically. Let's be honest, it's just a bit. Yeah, yeah. It's just a bet. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

Bobby Bones
Dumb debate of the day. Amy, you're up.
Amy
Yeah. Do you keep your apples in the refrigerator or in a bowl? On the counter?
Bobby Bones
People put their apples in the refrigerator.
Amy
Well, I do.
Bobby Bones
I guess if they're sliced, I would.
Amy
No, like whole apples. Like, right when you get home from the grocery store, put them in the refrigerator. Because that's what I do. And my friend thought I was crazy. She opened up my fridge and she's like, you keep your apples in the refrigerator.
Bobby Bones
That feels crazy to me. I mean, okay, let's just.
Amy
Oh, wait, I was the norm. Am I? Am I not?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Well, we're gonna find. We have a very accurate polling of representation of America in this room here. I'm gonna go count. It's either counter or refrigerator. I go counter.
Amy
Refrigerator.
Bobby Bones
Eddie.
Lunchbox
No, Amy, you're crazy. They go on the counter, not the refrigerator.
Amy
Morgan, you're not crazy. They go in the refrigerator.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Amy
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
I never would once think to put them in unless they're already sliced.
Amy
Well, they're gonna last longer if you put them in the fridge and then they' crisp.
Bobby Bones
I'm not trying to keep them to July. Like, I got an apple there. Lunchbox.
Eddie
I've never seen an apple in the refrigerator. It is on the counter.
Lunchbox
Boom.
Bobby Bones
Raymundo. If there's ever one on my counter, I throw it away. Way too acidic. I would say counter. They're not a fridge item. Okay. You just confuse everybody. But okay, Abby.
Amy
Definitely, definitely the fridge. The fridge, for sure. Maybe female thing.
Bobby Bones
Maybe it's a gender thing.
Amy
We know more.
Lunchbox
Oh, they're smarter.
Bobby Bones
Nobody said that. Nobody said, you know, I have a.
Eddie
Female in my house, and she keeps them on the counter.
Bobby Bones
I own a female. My basement. And she says, okay, let me run this one by you.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Butter. I've seen people leave their butter on their. It stays the fact that people don't keep it in the fridge all the time. I didn't know that was a thing.
Amy
You have a cute little, like, butter tray where you can keep it out. That way, when you cook with. It's easy to butter.
Bobby Bones
Fridge. That would be my answer. Fridge, you.
Amy
I do both. I have fridge and a little butter tray.
Bobby Bones
Then that would be count. If. If it's any counter. It's counter.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Crazy.
Lunchbox
Hold on, hold on. You're saying the butter is living outside the refrigerator?
Bobby Bones
Mind blown.
Lunchbox
No, that's crazy.
Bobby Bones
It's fridge, right? Yes.
Lunchbox
It's in the fridge. 100.
Eddie
It doesn't melt on the counter.
Amy
No, that doesn't.
Bobby Bones
Won't melt. It's room temperature.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. It's more spreadable, I guess, if the.
Bobby Bones
Counter is out in the sun.
Amy
Morgan, mine's always in the fridge. Unless we're having, like, a meal at a dinner table and then it's out.
Lunchbox
Makes sense.
Bobby Bones
So it's. Amy, you might be the weird one here.
Amy
No, I'm not. My sister does it, too.
Bobby Bones
Abby.
Amy
Sorry. Fridge.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Butter.
Bobby Bones
We're all fridges. Oh, no, Ray.
Eddie
Fridge, lunchbox, fridge. I mean, I didn't even know butter could be, because, I mean, it gets all soggy.
Bobby Bones
You're the only one.
Amy
Well, no, I have both. But, like, the little butter tray would be out.
Lunchbox
Oh, that's a good one.
Bobby Bones
Ketchup fridge, for sure. I think I just keep everything in the fridge.
Lunchbox
But what about.
Amy
We don't keep apples in the fridge.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I don't. You're right. I'm an idiot.
Lunchbox
Bones, restaurants have ketchup out.
Bobby Bones
I know what they. Again, that's why I'm asking. I go fridge at our house.
Amy
Fridge, frame, fridge.
Lunchbox
Eddie, fridge at the house.
Amy
Okay, Fridge.
Eddie
I don't even have ketchup at my house.
Bobby Bones
Ray, fridge. Okay, so we're all fridge. Yeah. Restaurants have stuff out. Yeah, for sure.
Amy
Okay, guys, the USDA says that butter is safe at room temperature, but if it's left out for several days, then it can turn rancid.
Bobby Bones
What about ketchup? What does it say about what you're supposed to do with ketchup? Because both are probably acceptable.
Amy
Like, ketchup bottles. Says refrigerator after. No, no, but restaurants, to Eddie's point, ketchup is just out.
Bobby Bones
And is it? You only put in the fridge after the seal's broken, Then it has to go in.
Amy
The ketchup is generally considered safe to leave on the counter for up to a month.
Bobby Bones
What?
Lunchbox
Wow, that's crazy.
Amy
And so restaurants are probably turning it over faster. Like, they go through.
Bobby Bones
For sure.
Lunchbox
You know what I found out they do, Bones? Restaurants is they have, like, say, the Heinz ketchup bottle there on the table, and it just lives at all the tables. They just refill that same bottle. They don't get new bottles and, like.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And they get it in a humongous. Yeah, the restaurant. We didn't get them in little bottles. We literally got humongous tubs.
Lunchbox
Mind blown.
Amy
Really.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Amy
They just go and refill everything.
Bobby Bones
That's different. I'm gonna play you a nostalgic clip from the 90s. It's a sound. Identify that sound. For example.
Eddie
Oh, in for the win.
Bobby Bones
That's very short, but you got it. One more time, please. You can say it.
Eddie
Seinfeld.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's the Seinfeld in between scenes at the beginning. Now, Morgan, you're the youngest here. That one may have been tough for you. Did you know it? Yeah, no, I did.
Amy
I recognized it, but couldn't place it.
Bobby Bones
And, Eddie, you're the oldest here, so.
Lunchbox
I knew that one.
Bobby Bones
No, I know you know that one, but, like, some of the, you know, more current stuff, maybe you don't know. Okay, here we go. Write your answers down. Number one, name that nostalgic sound. Here it is again, and one final time.
Lunchbox
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
I'm in, man.
Eddie
How specific do I need to be?
Amy
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Lunchbox, your answer.
Eddie
Nintendo.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
I have Nintendo Mario Brothers.
Bobby Bones
Morgan.
Amy
I had Super Mario Eddie.
Bobby Bones
I wrote down Mario Brothers because the answer Super Mario. Oh, Mike, what do we do with Amy's? I'll take Amy's. We're gonna take lunches. Okay, well, yeah. Well, no, you can't have a lunchbox. You didn't say Mario.
Eddie
I said, how specific do I need to be?
Bobby Bones
But I'm not answering your questions in the middle of a game where you have to answer questions.
Lunchbox
Because that's like, when he eats the mushroom, right? Like, it's.
Bobby Bones
But you can't guess, like, multiple things, though. Is thinking about Amy. She's like. Like, Nintendo Mario video games, controllers, cable tv.
Amy
I wasn't guessing multiple things. I know that those are both exist together, but.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so the answer is Super Mario.
Amy
Well, then I don't get it.
Bobby Bones
You do get it.
Amy
Oh, okay.
Bobby Bones
And you accept it. You love it.

This is a Tell Me Something Good from one of our listeners on our voicemail line.
Listener
Hi, Bobbi Bones show. I had to share with my favorite morning show. I officially survived my first day as a registered nurse all on my own. As a registered nurse, you have a lot of weeks of preceptorship where you have like a trainer with you. Anyways, I worked really hard to be here. I'm 27. I've been at this for the last five years, and I finally feel super accomplished. And I can actually say I'm very proud of myself. Took really good care about my patients today. And yeah, I just had to call and share that.
Bobby Bones
We love it. Great job. To many more days of taking care of your patients. There are angels among us. And they are nurses, teachers. Yes. And Arkansas Razorback athletes.
Lunchbox
Oh, oh, okay. All right.
Bobby Bones
Sure. Those are the athletes. I believe there are angels among us. We'd all agree with all that. Yeah. Thank you.
Amy
