Welcome to Thursday show Morning Studio.
Eugene
Morning, Bones.
Bobby Bones
Here's the question. The lifespan of one of these used to be three years. Now it's eight years. What is it? So since 2011, the lifespan of one of these has gone from three years to eight years. What is it? We're gonna play? Never gonna get it.
Eddie
No, you're not gonna get it.
Eugene
Not this time.
Bobby Bones
All right. Since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from three years to eight years. Let's bring on Eugene. Eugene's gonna have a chance here to win. Hey, Eugene. How's it going, buddy?
Eugene
It's going good.
Bobby Bones
How you doing? Yeah, real good. Appreciate you calling. Where are you calling from?
Eugene
I'm calling from Texas. All right, so Midland, to be exact.
Bobby Bones
Great. Eugene's gonna have a shot here. The question, Eugene, you get to answer by yourself first. But if you miss it, it does not mean you lost. Since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from three years to eight years. What is it? So think about that. Eugene, you get to go first. Back in 2011, we started this lifespan was three years. Now it's eight. What do you think it is?
Eugene
Lifespan.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Absence. I'll do it.
Eugene
No hint, huh?
Bobby Bones
Not yet. But the show's all going to answer, too, so you can have multiple, multiple chances here. But since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from three years to eight years. What is it?
Eugene
I'm gonna go with an animal. Where I would say a dog.
Bobby Bones
Okay, a dog.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Big growth. And dogs here. Okay. It's not a dog. That's okay, though. Strike one. We put them on the spot. We put them on the spot. Okay, Eugene, now everybody on the show has written down an answer. Amy, how do you feel?
Amy
Not good. Just being honest.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I feel great. 100. We're really good, Morgan.
Bobby Bones
I don't feel good at all, Eddie. I feel great.
Eddie
Like, I. I have this one. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Eugene, if you pick the person on the show that gets it right, you win. So you get to pick two show members here to represent you. Now, you've heard them. Who do you pick?
Eugene
Let's go with Lunchbox and Miss Amy.
Amy
Oh my gosh. Wait, Eugene. Eddie said he was.
Lunchbox
I don't think he heard you. Eddie.
Eddie
Eugene. I said I really know this one.
Amy
Yeah, what's up, Eugene?
Bobby Bones
Do you want to trade and switch to Eddie? Eugene?
Eugene
Okay, let's switch out. Let's switch out Ms. Amy for Eddie then.
Amy
Okay, Ms. Amy.
Bobby Bones
I love it. You guys have convinced us.
Eddie
Okay, Eugene.
Bobby Bones
Amy. Since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from three years to eight. What did you put, Amy?
Amy
Relationships.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so just being in a relationship. Marriage.
Amy
Okay, well, probably dating.
Bobby Bones
Dating could be anything. Got it. Eddie.
Eddie
Oh, this is easy. Dude, I have cell phones. The lifespan of a cell phone is way longer than it used to be.
Lunchbox
How long?
Bobby Bones
I'm not saying if you're right or wrong. I was just thinking, how long do you keep a cell phone?
Amy
I've. I've never had one for eight years, that's for sure.
Eddie
Eight years?
Bobby Bones
No, but three.
Amy
I have three. Yes, but we trade them out though.
Eddie
Because like they're upgrades. But if we kept the phone also.
Bobby Bones
It stays alive even with somebody else.
Lunchbox
Absolutely.
Bobby Bones
Interesting. Morgan.
Amy
I was also in the electronic range, but I feel like the phones go out but TVs don't. TVs stay for a long time.
Bobby Bones
Now Morgan's chosen the television.
Eddie
Interesting.
Amy
I have the same TV my whole childhood.
Lunchbox
Yeah, those were hardcore.
Bobby Bones
They weren't upgraded. We were kids. Yeah, there's always technology now. Back in the day, you just got to tr. She's like Lunchbox man.
Lunchbox
You guys were right on the right track. Cuz it's cell phone. Yes, it's cell phone.
Bobby Bones
What? Sucks for Eugene now he only has.
Lunchbox
One answer, but we nailed it, so it doesn't matter.
Amy
No, I don't think y' all did.
Eddie
I think we did.
Bobby Bones
I don't think he did either.
Lunchbox
I think we did.
Amy
You did.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox Is 100% sure?
Lunchbox
Yeah, we got it.
Bobby Bones
Where are you on the percentage, Eddie?
Eddie
100%.
Amy
Cell phone came to my mind right away and I'm like, that's normally not the answer. The obvious easy one.
Eddie
Sometimes it is.
Amy
Cuz it's called never going to get it.
Lunchbox
Never going to get it.
Eddie
So you decided to go with relationship.
Lunchbox
That was a terrible guess.
Bobby Bones
No, since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from 3 years to 8. What is it?
Eddie
Come on, baby.
Amy
Also, the smartphone came out in 2008, so.
Lunchbox
Okay, great.
Eddie
Yeah, but there's been a lot of upgrades on that.
Bobby Bones
Amy. Guest relationships. That's wrong. Okay, Morgan, you guess televisions. That's wrong.
Eddie
All right, this is for all of. Where's he from?
Bobby Bones
Midland, Texas.
Lunchbox
Midland, Texas.
Eddie
Let's go, baby.
Lunchbox
Big winner in Midland.
Bobby Bones
Is everybody in Midland on the edge of their seats right now?
Lunchbox
I wonder if he knows Mike Gonzalez.
Bobby Bones
Is that your friend in Midland?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. We went to college together.
Amy
I wonder if he's ever been to Big Daddy's Catfish and Chicken.
Bobby Bones
Hey, Eugene, ever been to Big Daddy's Catfish and Chicken?
Eugene
Never been to Big Daddy's Catfish and Chicken.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
Huh?
Amy
Are you even living life?
Eugene
I've been living here my whole life. I don't even think I've heard of the place.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
Google it. Order Cliff's Hamburger. That's my dad.
Bobby Bones
Dang.
Lunchbox
That's probably not even business.
Amy
Yes, it is.
Bobby Bones
Cell phone is.
Lunchbox
Come on.
Bobby Bones
Come on. Not the answer.
Eddie
Oh, my.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Thank you. So nobody got it.
Lunchbox
So nobody got it, then? I got it.
Bobby Bones
Eugene, you get one more shot here. So everybody write down your second guess.
Lunchbox
I got it.
Bobby Bones
Eugene, I'm gonna give you a second here. But since 2011, the lifespan of one of these items has risen from three years to eight. I'm gonna give this show the entire theme song amount to. Come up with a new answer, and Eugene will pick. Yes. That one of you forget it. Or no. That nobody gets it. Hit that theme song.
Eddie
No, you're not gonna get it.
Bobby Bones
Never, never gonna get it.
Lunchbox
Not this time.
Bobby Bones
No, you're not gonna get it. Never, never, never, never gonna get it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Oh, Eddie got excited. Hey, I think maybe I got it, though, too.
Eddie
I got it.
Lunchbox
I got it. We may have the same answer again.
Bobby Bones
By the way, we're playing for a 250. Macy's gift card makes Macy's makes it easy to find something special for every relationship and every budget. Valentine's Day is coming up, Mace. Eugene, you do anything Valentine's Day.
Eugene
I. I am doing something. I am taking my wife out.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Good. You already got a plan.
Eugene
I got a plan.
Lunchbox
Good.
Bobby Bones
Well, if you win this, you won a 250 gift card to buy her something really awesome at Macy's. Because Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. Okay. Will the show get it, yes or no, Eugene?
Eugene
I'm gonna say yes on this one.
Lunchbox
Wow. He didn't even know our answers. He goes, yes.
Eugene
I love it.
Eddie
But he knows how confident.
Lunchbox
He knows how good we are at this game.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Macy's is the destination for getting everything you need for Valentine's Day. From your new look to your date night to your perfect gift. Experiences like date night are great, but how about something from Macy's? Get to your local Macy's this Valentine's Day. Or hit up Macy's dot com. You got a gift card for Eugene? On the hook, boys.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I don't think this item is available at Macy's, but the lifespan has expanded.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Amy, what do you have?
Amy
Computer.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
It is your laptop. It is your laptop, baby.
Amy
We have the same kind of a computer, right?
Bobby Bones
That's the same answer.
Lunchbox
Computer, dude. I know.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Lunchbox
I'm just saying, Morgan, good job.
Amy
I don't. Now I'm like, it's not electronics. Because if you think about electronics, they kind of go bad every once in a while now.
Bobby Bones
So maybe.
Amy
Maybe the quality has gone up in shoes. A pair of shoes.
Lunchbox
That is the dumbest there could be. Quality. Your shoes last seven years.
Amy
You just had to trade in a new laptop. You realize that, right?
Lunchbox
And it was nine years old.
Eddie
Okay, dude, you know when like, some. Some idea just comes in your head and you're like, oh, my gosh. I would have never thought about that, but it popped in my head for a reason.
Bobby Bones
It's the light bulb.
Eddie
It's the light bulb because we went from these old light bulbs that went out in three years, and then LED came out of nowhere. This thing lasts forever.
Bobby Bones
Could be it.
Eddie
It's a light bulb.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so you've heard their answers, Eugene. Now, do you want to stay with that one of them get it, or do you want to say none of.
Amy
Them do in our computer?
Eugene
I want to say none of them do nothing against them. I just don't feel like that's it.
Lunchbox
I mean, but just think about it. Change his mind when you go to the store sometimes. Now, those light bulbs do. Say, don't change your light bulb for seven years or whatever it is.
Eddie
I think eight to be exact.
Bobby Bones
Well, I'll say this. It's not computer, because electronics go out way faster than that. And actually, three, eight years for an electronic. No way.
Eddie
But is it laptop?
Bobby Bones
It's not. No, no, not that.
Lunchbox
Is it shoes?
Bobby Bones
It's more shoes, probably than electronics.
Lunchbox
Eddie.
Eddie
Come on, baby. I knew it again. This is all for Midland right here.
Bobby Bones
No, he's not picked. You won't get it.
Eddie
Oh, forget it. This is not for Midland.
Bobby Bones
It's for me, Eugene.
Eddie
No. In Midland. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Hey, Midland. Misery right here.
Bobby Bones
Guest a light bulb.
Eddie
Come on, baby.
Amy
It's probably.
Lunchbox
It's actually not bad, baby.
Bobby Bones
That Is incorrect. So Eugene is a big winner. First of all, he's going to get a gift card. Eugene. So we're going to give you a 250 gift card to Macy's. Anything else in your mind there?
Lunchbox
Yeah, now that you said shoes is on the right track.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't say right track. I said better than an electronic jeans. No, it's something that you. That you have possibly on you right now.
Eddie
A wallet.
Lunchbox
Wallet.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
Purse.
Bobby Bones
You're getting closer. It's not a wallet. Oh, it's in the wallet.
Lunchbox
Credit cards.
Bobby Bones
Cash. Cash. Dollar. A dollar bill.
Amy
Wait, what?
Bobby Bones
Dollar bills.
Eddie
Mine doesn't last.
Bobby Bones
$. No, it's not that you hold it. It's if they don't, they don't.
Eddie
The.
Amy
The dollar bill.
Eddie
Mine's gone within a week.
Amy
Circulation longer.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they don't get torn up. They don't.
Amy
They're more disintegrate.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, because it's so much more a cashless society. We don't use them as much, so they last longer because they're not being constantly handed off.
Lunchbox
That was a tough one. Yeah, I would have never gotten that one.
Bobby Bones
It is a dollar bill, but Eugene is our winner. Congratulations. You guys are all losers. Yeah, there we go. Another winner. And another group of losers. I'm never gonna get it. It's the anonymous. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband has a huge phobia of going to the dentist due to an accident when he was younger. When he was a kid, he would projectile vomit at the dentist every time he went. Well, here we are at age 40 and he hasn't been to the dentist since. And he has really bad breath. I tried telling him to go to the dentist, but he won't go. And it turns to an argument and tells me I'm rude. I'm pretty sure he has gingivitis. How do I get him to go to the dentist? I can't take his bad breath. Sign the wife of stinky breath, husband. Do you know what I did? I was all my teeth are either fake or capped. I didn't go to the dentist until my 20s. We really didn't go to the dentist with my family. And so when I finally started to have some success, I bought myself teeth that weren't crooked and weren't cavity filled. But you can't do veneers on your back teeth, so those are all capped. I've had many root canals through all the years of not having it. So I was eating a. Like a taffy. Yeah.
Amy
Like a chewy, sticky candy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And I Felt it pull one of my caps up a little bit and the smell that came out from underneath it made me want to vomit.
Eugene
Oh.
Bobby Bones
And I went, oh. And I felt it pull it. So I stopped doing it and I just peeled it off the tooth and pushed it back down. It should be okay. I think it's kind of loose. I gotta go to the dentist anyway next week for my tooth. I've broken off. Oh, man. My life has been one big tooth mishap after another. But I'm telling you, underneath those caps because when they put them on and seal them is like poop chamber. It's disgusting. So anyway, I could see where that. Can he, like, floss maybe I have gaps in my teeth too. Do anybody have gaps? I have a gap that I ever. I have to floss after every meal.
Eddie
I have to carry a floss in my pocket.
Bobby Bones
It's crazy annoying.
Amy
Yeah. In my back I. I like, cracked a little bit. So it's not just a gap. It's a chunk of the tooth is missing from the very back and that's problematic. I have to floss it a lot more than like after anything I eat pretty much.
Bobby Bones
You have to make him go to the dentist because this is long term health stuff.
Amy
Yes. Because gingivitis and things with your gums where you don't realize is that's attached to heart health or strokes. Like, it's not just about oral health. So maybe don't make it about him being sensitive about his breath and you're being rude.
Eddie
It's.
Amy
No, you're caring about his longevity and.
Bobby Bones
Stop being a baby. Like some stuff. You just have to stop being a baby about that. Some stuff. Some stuff. There you go to. You go to the therapist and you work through it. Stop being a baby. It's going to hurt. Sometimes in life things hurt. You just got to go through it. And if you projectile vomit, maybe you won't anymore. Because I don't think I have nightmares anymore after scary movies. And I didn't watch them forever because I got nightmares after every scary movie as a kid. So I'd never watch horror movies. But now I watch an occasional zombie flick. Look at me. I go right to sleep, all grown up. So, yeah, you can grow up, bro. And also grow up, bro.
Eddie
You can tell them like, hey, heads up. Like, when the last time I went a long time ago, I threw up.
Bobby Bones
I think there's embarrassment from him that he hasn't been. And I can tell you this from an adult that started going to the dentist with messed up teeth. There's. You make up excuses as to why you don't want to go because there's an embarrassment that you never went, and you think the dentist is going to judge you by looking in your mouth. So I would think that is probably part of it, too. So be sensitive to that issue. But, bro, you gotta go. Take it from somebody who didn't go. You gotta go, or you're gonna be so far behind in 10 years when your freaking mouth is rotting out and your heart's rotting out. According to Amy, it's good. Amy, stroke. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta stop being a baby, man. Go to the dentist.
Amy
I don't know how it's connected, but I just see headlines, you know what?
Bobby Bones
Same.
Amy
Like flossing.
Bobby Bones
Same. Gotta go. Gotta go, bro. All right, there you go. Close it up. Go to Alfred in Colorado, who has a question for us. Alfred, what's up, buddy?
Eugene
Hey, I just have a question for you. So me and my wife have been going through some financial issues as of late, and just trying to find a. Since Valentine's coming up, I'm used to spoiling her, and I just want to have some, like, kind of advice on what I can do that's not too expensive. I don't want to make her anything because I'm not in third grade.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Hey, does she know that you guys are in a bit of a financial strain right now, or is that a secret because of, like, something you're doing?
Eugene
No, we know we sell bank accounts and all that, but it's like our mortgage went up and everything just going up except for our wages. And. I mean, I'm working two jobs at the moment. She's working from home, and it's just a struggle right now.
Bobby Bones
Well, then, okay. So it's not so much about Valentine's Day, but I would like to say this. If you're in a relationship and you have a great husband, wife, partner, spouse, whatever the case is, and you're going through something, you both know you're going through it. I would think that she. Probably because you have built this expectation as somebody who does wonderful things at opportune times for her, to make her feel special. However, if you're going through something together, I would bet that her expectation of you in this situation is. I'm not going to say different, but is there's a different expectation. And what that special thing is, I don't think it's about buying anything, especially if there's not a lot of money right now. So I think, first of all, you need to wipe your brain of how am I going to get money to buy her something? I think if you bought her something in a financially strained time, I think she would kind of be upset by it because you don't have the money to do that. She's not demanding you do that. So wipe that. Okay. You don't want to make her a macaroni paper. I get it. You're not third grade. That doesn't mean that you can't create a meaningful experience even at home. Even with like cooking her dinner and making it extremely deliberate. Meaning this is the. What's your wife's name?
Eugene
Kathy.
Bobby Bones
This is, this is the Night of Kathy. And then everything that night is catered to things that she specifically loves. Like you're going to watch her favorite movie tonight. You're going to. You are going to make her favorite dinner that you're going to buy the groceries at the grocery store. You are going to have the Night of Kathy. And you're going to make a big deal about the presentation because that's what it is. The presentation of how much you love her. And it ain't about money when you don't have money. So don't make it about money. So that's number one. Got me?
Eugene
Gotcha.
Bobby Bones
Number two, I think she will love Night of Kathy. And you find three things. Her favorite food. It doesn't be a movie if you don't have enough time. You have kids. I get it. It can be a favorite episode of her favorite television show. Does Kathy love a foot rub? And it will be followed by a 15 minute rub on each of Night of Kathy's feet. I think if you present that, that is, that is so valuable because you thought about it. It's a gesture, an act of service. Kind of an act of service. Like, I think that's it, Alfred. So don't beat yourself up over the money thing. You'll have money again and you can do that. I think Night of Cathy is pretty much on the nose, man.
Eugene
All right, sounds good. I will start planning now.
Bobby Bones
However, however, it is the day of Alfred, because I have something for you. Alfred, can I give you a gift?
Eugene
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Okay. I'm going to give you a $250 gift card to Macy's so you can buy her a little something. Okay. Does that sound good?
Eugene
Wow. Awesome. Thank you so much.
Bobby Bones
And if she doesn't hear this, you got her the card. I didn't give you the card. Unless she's going to get mad about that.
Amy
Well, because she's me. Like, how did you get this card to Macy's?
Bobby Bones
You make the call, Alfred? I don't know about that, but I still want to get this. This is the Day of Alfred. So I'm going to give you a $250 Macy's gift card. Because for Valentine's Day, they make it really easy to find something special for anyone. For every relationship, every budget. You could get her a. Like a diamond bracelet. You could get her some YSL Berry Crush fragrance. I don't know what that is, but sounds good.
Eddie
Sounds really.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like I want to eat it, not smell it on me. Yeah. So Valentine's Day is here. What is it? Next week? The end of next week? Next Saturday. So we can get this to Alfred in time. Scuba Steve. Oh, yeah. Okay.
Lunchbox
We'll FedEx it right to him.
Bobby Bones
All right, Alfred, you do Night of Kathy. I'm gonna make this Day of Alfred, and I'm gonna give you this gift card. Deal?
Eugene
Deal. Awesome. Thank you so much, Robert.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you're welcome. Don't hang up, though. Okay? Okay. Well, all right. There he is. Alfred and Valentine's Day will be here before you know it. Macy's is the destination for getting everything you need for Valentine's Day, from your new look to your date night to the perfect gift for your valentine before it's too late. Look at Alfred. He didn't need this. I think it's going to be great for him. Experiences like date night, they're great, but, man, get with Macy's. Valentine's Day. Get to your local Macy's this Valentine's Day. Or hit up Macy's dot com. There you go. I feel like my advice was pretty good there, right?
Amy
Really good. Except for now. He's gonna be like, okay, now I'm going to Macy's because I have 250.
Bobby Bones
I wanted him to know it's not just about that. So if other listeners are going through that, you can do their night of whatever for sure. And make it a menu. Even like a print out a piece of paper. It's like, this is the Night of Kathy. At this time, we're doing this. At this time we're doing. It's just all about effort.
Amy
Yeah. And thinking of what they really enjoy. Like, did they do. You know, they love taking a B bath. Like, go ahead and draw the bath for them. It's on the menu. Like, they just walk in from work and it's like, hey.
Bobby Bones
Oh, talk, preach. Oh, you didn't say anything yet.
Amy
Yeah, just saying, like, yeah. Making that menu of things they love. Because everyone's a little different. Some people might be like, oh, I hate bats. But, you know, you just have to cater it to them. And it's. That's what's special.
Eddie
There you go.
Bobby Bones
There you go, alf. We're glad we could help, Bones.

Lunchbox
Tell me something good. The other night in Flint, Michigan, 911 gets a call. 91 1, what's your emergency? The guy's like, hey, I was just driving down the road and I'm pretty sure I just saw a body in the snow. And this is where I was if you want to go check it out. And lo and behold, it was an old man that was out for a walk, had a medical emergency and was just on the side of the road, and he was partially covered in snow. So the anonymous 911 caller happened to see him, called 91 1, saved his life.
Bobby Bones
Even with that call, they're lucky they got there in time because who knows how long he was out there? Who knows how quickly they could have got to him. But holy cow, would you have gone up to the body? If you. If you see what you think the body do you make that? I think I make. Listen, I like to be hero. I don't. I don't know.
Amy
I don't know. Because the last. What was the one that. The standby documentary.
Bobby Bones
Stand by me documentary. Stand by Me. No train. Oh, that's crazy. Leeches.
Amy
Karen Reed, Body in the snow.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you don't want to be accused of killing the person. Man, you were scared of some stuff, huh? You have some trauma. You have some trauma on podcasts.
Amy
I'm gonna make sure that they're okay, which is what this anonymous person did.
Lunchbox
I mean, did they. I mean, because the One time I found a body.
Eddie
Okay, now here we go.
Lunchbox
It was in the middle of the road. And at first I thought it was a garbage bag, right? And I was like, man, a garbage bag. And cars are going around it. I'm like, ah, it's a garbage bag. And as I got my turn to go around, and I'm like, that garbage bag has white shoes on. That's a body. And that's when I parked my car diagonally and I called 91 1. I'm like, there's a dead body in the road. And they asked me, sir, can you go up to the body? Go touch it and shake it.
Eddie
Touch it.
Lunchbox
And I was go make out with it.
Bobby Bones
His story gets crazy. Go make love to it and see if it makes a move.
Lunchbox
And so I was like, oh my gosh, I'm about to touch a dead body. And I got out of the car and I went up and I. Sir, sir, sir. And I'm like, ma', am, he's not moving. And all of a sudden, dude pops up. He's like, hey. And that is when his little canister of whippets went rolling. The duster thing, you know, you clean your computer. Went rolling down the street. And his Taco Bell cup was still sitting there. Didn't even spill. And he got up and walked away.
Eddie
I mean, Lunchbox is a hero.
Lunchbox
I am a hero. Because he was in the middle of the road.
Amy
He could have been run over.
Lunchbox
He could have been. I cannot believe.
Bobby Bones
I hear you. It just. He exaggerates every story so much that when he does have a good one, it's hard for us to believe.
Lunchbox
No, I've talked about this.
Bobby Bones
I know, I know. Also, remember when you helped deliver that baby in the post office?
Lunchbox
I didn't. I mean, I just held the lady's hand. Yeah, yeah, I just held her hand. I didn't really do much, but I'm telling you. And what's crazy is the guy. So the guy walked up the street, crossed over, walked back down the street, and he came over to me and goes, hey, did you see where my can went?
Bobby Bones
I believe this happened, and I just don't believe he was right in the middle of the road, like laying on the dot, dot, dot lines.
Lunchbox
No, no, he was literally, it was a two lane road and it was right here on the east side. You take the exit of Douglas and it's. You take a right.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
I had just gotten. I just gotten done with having drinks at neighbor's bar.
Bobby Bones
Perfect.
Lunchbox
With Amy and Jimmy and you were driving, not me.
Eddie
Okay? I was like this.
Lunchbox
Are you driving? Yeah.
Amy
Different Amy and Jim.
Bobby Bones
I'd had a couple. Don't talk yourself into trouble here, okay?
Lunchbox
You can go have a drink and not be drunk. Guys, right? You can do this. And I am telling you, the guy was laying in the road and I mean, I am a hero, just like this guy.
Bobby Bones
What's his name again?
Lunchbox
No, Anonymous.
Bobby Bones
Oh, Anonymous.
Lunchbox
Which is crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Get out of the. Get out of the car and check on him.
Bobby Bones
I. Yeah, I know.
Lunchbox
That's what I did, sir.
Bobby Bones
Make love to the body. Okay, you got it.
Derek Hough
Whatever you say.
Bobby Bones
There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in case you didn't know. Gonna talk with Derek Hough from Dancing with the Stars. Blonde haired guy. He won it many times. He's now a judge on Dancing with the Stars. His sister is Juliannehough. So we knew each other a little bit prior to this. I really like Garrett Cuff. So we're going to talk about the time his mirror ball was stolen, how many times he's won the show, all that. Here we go. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now. Derek Hough. Some people wonder if the pros are competitive and winning or if they're just there to make their money.
Derek Hough
Competitive, competitive.
Bobby Bones
Very good.
Derek Hough
And actually in the earlier seasons, even more competitive, I would say, because I feel like we came out of. I don't want me to be. When I said we, I mean, like the. The pros, we're kind of plucked out of the Latin ballroom competitive world. So we were competitors and we didn't come from like, you know, dance studios where it was like this camaraderie of like supporting your fellow dancers and classmates. We were soloists. I mean, you know, part we had partners, but it was like we were against everybody else. And that mindset of like, I'm against you, I'm against everybody, was instilled in us. So we were very, very, very competitive. And you see it, you see it a lot, honestly, in the earlier seasons, openly, you know what I mean? And so if you could see some of that openly, you can only imagine what was going on behind the scenes. But it made it fun. It made it really, like, intense. With that said, there's definitely competitiveness. Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
For sure. How many do you have? Mirror balls? Six.
Eugene
Six.
Bobby Bones
Are they all neatly stacked beside each other in a no seedy manner? They.
Derek Hough
Where are they? I actually have no idea where they Are right now. If I'm honest, I think they're in. They're like in a road case right now somewhere.
Bobby Bones
Because I take them, travel with them.
Derek Hough
I take them on tour, and I put them, like, in the lobby, you know, and just for people to come. Come check them out and look at you.
Bobby Bones
Ever broken one? Had to get it replaced.
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah.
Eddie
Oh.
Bobby Bones
So what do you do if that's the case?
Derek Hough
Oh, no. I've lost, like, two of them.
Bobby Bones
Wait.
Derek Hough
Okay. I'll tell you, this is kind of. Kind of funny, actually. In my earlier days, when I would go out and have them have fun, I think I had three at the time. And there was somebody at my condo.
Eddie
Where I was living.
Derek Hough
I was a bachelor, you know, the whole thing. And then I woke up, you know, the next day, and I was like, where's my. Where's my trophy?
Bobby Bones
No way.
Derek Hough
And I was like, wait a minute.
Bobby Bones
Somebody took.
Derek Hough
Somebody took my. Because I had, like, an after party at my house. There's a bunch of people there and stuff, and somebody took my trophy and. Or I think it was like. Honestly, it was. I think it was two of them. There's only one there. Like, wait, hold on. Luckily, there was, like, a card on the ground. It was like somebody's card.
Eugene
I don't know.
Derek Hough
I was randomized. Let me call this person.
Bobby Bones
Hey, did you take my trophies?
Lunchbox
Yeah, we.
Derek Hough
We took them. And they're in. They're in, like, Koreatown, which is nowhere near where I live. In the bush somewhere at this address. I'm like, first, why did you do that?
Bobby Bones
Secondly, what?
Derek Hough
So I had to go find them and turn up. They were in the bush. Had to grab them, take them home.
Bobby Bones
In one piece.
Derek Hough
In one piece. They were fine, but I have broken them. I've lost a few. But you could get a remade. But they're like $5,000 a piece.
Bobby Bones
Wow. I did not know they were that expensive.
Derek Hough
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Something asking me about. And I was also very uncomfortable with it when I first started the show is all the touching. Because how I have lived my whole life is you don't touch people. Really?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, especially like that in dance. It took me a couple weeks to realize that's just a culture. That's what you have to do it in order to actually do any sort of performance. Yeah. Like, fundamentally, your hands have to be on the other person's body, all over their body all the time. When you're learning you're moving, it's a great. My mind was blown by all of it, because here's this girl, I don't know, in small shorts and a top, and she's like, put your hands right on my butt. Put your. Touch my hips. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't want you. Hashtag me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was very uncomfortable for me at first, but people all the time say, man, they're all touching each other. Everybody's got to be doing it with each other. You hear that a lot, right?
Derek Hough
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What's your response to that?
Derek Hough
Most of the time? No, it's funny, actually, I would say this. In earlier seasons, there was a lot of. There was a lot of stuff that would, you know, go on, I feel like.
Bobby Bones
But the touching is like. It's like. But then working at a bank and taking money, like.
Derek Hough
Yeah, yeah. No, no, here's the thing. Here's. I'll say this, the dancing part of it again, for a dancer. For a dancer, it's not. It's not intimate.
Bobby Bones
You know what I mean?
Derek Hough
It's not like, oh, like, this is like, get in here. It's not that at all. It's very clinical.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Derek Hough
You know, it's like, hey, get your. Get there. No, no, that doesn't feel right. Okay, good. No, no, get that. Get that hip up in here. And, you know, for me, I'm not thinking like, ooh. I'm thinking the mechanics of it and the, you know, anatomically, does that make sense? Does it feel good from a balanced perspective or from, you know, just that push and pull to create the speed and the dynamics? I'm thinking of the performance, you know what I mean? But I remember my first partner, Jenny Garth, and I was like this young kid, and I remember it's all on camera. And I remember us doing ballroom and I kind of like, all right, put your hip here. And she'd remember me. Like, she'd be like, woo. And again, for us, this is even like, what we're doing, you know, it's very clinical. It's very technical.
Bobby Bones
If people want to see you on tour this summer. Yeah, like, what's the deal?
Derek Hough
Performing live is, for me, number one, it's the best. I'm going back out on the road with the tour that I've done before called Symphony of Dance. It's a really special show. I'm so proud of this show. So much so that I want to do it again and go back out. We're going to change things. Of course. There's going to be different songs, different pieces, different things happening in there, of course, make it different. But also, it's. We're really proud of the show. It's a good one.
Bobby Bones
It's a good.
Derek Hough
The music, energy, this rock and rol.
Lunchbox
There's ballroom.
Eddie
There's.
Derek Hough
There's contemporary. There's a bit of everything in it. It's really fun.
Bobby Bones
Bones, it's time for another compliment battle. Let's go. I don't really need to offer money because it's mostly about the game, but $3, I'll forget.
Eddie
Okay, we'll take it.
Bobby Bones

Bobby Bones
There's a lot of knockdown in that before. What do you mean?

Oh, that's a good one.
Amy
You are.
Bobby Bones
Let's box. Over to you. Compliment battle.
Eddie
No, we believe you.
Lunchbox
Some would say you have a heart of gold. I mean, you went to an orphanage in Haiti, found these two amazing children, and gave them hope and a life here in America.
Bobby Bones
He said. Some would say. He didn't even say it himself.
Eddie
Any clapboard.
Bobby Bones
He said some would say.
Lunchbox
Yeah, you don't.
Eddie
So you don't say that.
Bobby Bones
Lunch. Why would you say.

Amy
Yes, I have. Yeah, you're a good dad.
Bobby Bones
Good dad. And that he doesn't care. You're like, it's a good dad. And that he.
Amy
It's got to be so freeing to just, like, not care.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay, third compliment battle.
Eddie
Go ahead.
Amy
I wish I didn't care so much. Easy to taking shots at him.
Lunchbox
I haven't really given up.

He does.
Bobby Bones
He's had tuberculosis. Yeah. He's had swollen testicles. Yep. He also had chlamydia. The throat.
Amy
No, it was like a yeast infection.
Bobby Bones
His throat.

Swollen testicles.

Eddie
Guys. Nice.
Bobby Bones
It's a battle of compliments.
Amy
That is a compliment.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
He handles diseases.
Amy
Some of those diseases would tear people down.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Eddie
Right?
Amy
He's here.
Bobby Bones
He's here. He had a yeast infection in his mouth, and he made it right. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Amy, you handle not being able to get pregnant like a champ.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness. That's bad. Oh, Amy, are you okay?
Lunchbox
No, she. Like some people that would tear him down, but she's still here.
Eddie
Is she crying?
Amy
No, she's just like, oh, I'm, like, laughing so hard.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
I might be tearing up from laughter.
Bobby Bones
So she doesn't cry, because that's kind of mean.
Amy
So that you don't cry.
Bobby Bones
He then went to the heart.
Eddie
Dang, dude.
Lunchbox
It's okay.
Amy
I did.
Lunchbox
Wait, wait. I. I handle something like a champ. She handles that like a Champ, how is that bad? I don't understand. Where's my oh, where's my oh, you guys didn't forgot to do that. Do I need to say it again? Like, she repeated it?
Bobby Bones
You getting a yeast infection in your mouth is the same thing as her having fertility struggles.
Lunchbox
I mean, I battled through it. She battled through it.
Amy
It's true.
Lunchbox
It's true.
Amy
We both have battled our own ailments.
Bobby Bones
Right, Eddie Morgan, who is the best here?
Eddie
Oh, my God.
Amy
I don't feel better after either one of them.
Bobby Bones
Honestly, I feel a lot worse about everything.
Amy
He is.
Bobby Bones
That's kind of awkward. Eddie, who's the better of the compliments?
Eddie
I'm gonna say this game is hard for Amy.
Bobby Bones
It's hard for Amy for sure.
Eddie
It's hard for Amy. But I think in this game, Amy, you win the battle.
Bobby Bones
I also vote Amy. Amy. Now you vote Amy.
Amy
Yeah, I think I was gonna go lunch until that last one. So, Amy, it's yours.
Bobby Bones
Amy's now one and one in compliment battles. Our winner, Amy, everybody.
Amy
And, like, I'm winning because I didn't go as low.
Bobby Bones
That's precisely it. That's precisely it. Okay, there it is. Another compliment battle. Everybody, it's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. Last week, a pair of maintenance workers at Lewisgill Hospital in Blacksburg, Virginia, made an emergency trip during the winter storm, added to worst to help feed a newborn baby who had not eaten. So Tyler Stanger and Tyler Underwood were both working at the hospital, and so they were asked by people at the hospital for a specific type of baby formula because there was an infant being treated. And the request came while the area was in icy and dangerous road conditions. But what they did is they went through the snow and the ice to get to Walmart, had to go to a different store to find something else for the formula. Basically, they had to make a concoction because his baby needed specific kind of food and formula. And so then they brought it back to the hospital. It's crazy. The hospital didn't have it. Yeah, but the fact that they went through the storm, went to Walmart, went to another store, gathered all the materials, and got it back to the baby. It's pretty cool. They should get a raise. I demand Tyler Stanger and Tyler Underwood get a raise. I'm not going to fund it myself, but I demand the hospital or. Or, like, commendation or a bonus.
Amy
A bonus sounds good because they didn't.
Bobby Bones
Have that in mind when they were doing this. They were just going out to help the baby. Yeah.
Eddie
At least a parking space right above and beyond.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But for more than a day.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Like, it can't be like princess for a day. It's gonna be like princess for a month if they get that job. So. Officials say the actions of the workers and the other staff involved showed compassion and teamwork that wasn't necessary to work there, but was really great of them to do. That's from People magazine. So big shout out to those guys. That is what it's all about. That was.
Lunchbox
Tell me something good.
Bobby Bones
Wake up. Wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Mike D's riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Bone Store. 90 seconds up on the board, guys. It's time for the investigative Corny. How many corny jokes can we get?
Derek Hough
Right?
Bobby Bones
Here we go.
Lunchbox
The morning corny.

Bobby Bones
You should be happy with that.
Lunchbox
I don't. How did you get that?
Bobby Bones
I would have never got.
Eddie
No, I need to. I don't know. It just popped my head maybe.
Amy
I think you said bumble and then you were going down the Alphabet. Maybe Bumble.
Bobby Bones
No, that's a tough. We got two. Be proud of that one, boys. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead. Story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Florida. An 18 year old got in an argument with her mom. She didn't want to clean her room, starts yelling at her mom. I'M not going to clean my room. Mom says you're not leaving this house till you clean your room. So the daughter goes in the kitchen, grabs a pork chop. Whap. Hits her across the face.
Bobby Bones
It's weird. Of all the things, all the weapons that could have been in the kitchen. Knives. Well, even lesser than stabbing.
Lunchbox
Forks.
Eddie
Bowl.
Bobby Bones
No, Even lesser than stab. Yeah. Yes. Even a paper towel roll. There are just many. You guys went hard. Dang. She grabs a pork chop, of all things. So does the parent call the cops on the kid if she gets hit with a pork chop?
Amy
She must have, because how else is this in the news?
Bobby Bones
That's true, but I'm saying generally do.
Eddie
I mean, I've never gotten hit by a pork chop.
Bobby Bones
If your kid hit you with a pork chop in the face, would you call the cops? No, she called the cops.
Lunchbox
She called the cops, had her daughter arrested for assault.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Amy
Sorry, did you say how old her daughter was?
Lunchbox
18.
Amy
Oh, my gosh. So this must not be a first. Yeah, it's two adults, offense type thing. Like the daughter. If it's the first time, I don't think you call 911.
Bobby Bones
Also, if it's the first time, I don't think they grab a pork job and hit you in the face.
Eddie
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
Okay, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead. Story of the day, Bones.

Between work, family and everything else, cancer screenings can get put off. But screening is an important way to take control of your health for the people who count on you. Over the years, we've heard from listeners sharing cancer diagnosis stories, of loved ones affected, and how early detection made a difference. Detecting cancer early is crucial. Every screening matters, and Pfizer's making it easy to take the first step. Schedule your screenings@pfizerforall.com screenings sponsored by Pfizer. All right, some voicemails.

Number one, lunchbox is cheating somehow. Guy who can't sing, he doesn't know who artists are. He doesn't know anybody, doesn't know people's names, doesn't pay attention to stuff. But when y' all start playing games, he's winning every time. Now, what in tarnation Telling you, you better do some investigating. Okay, bye.
Lunchbox
I have no idea. I don't even think I win that much. So I don't know what Tar Nation he's talking about, but I remember random things. Like, I have a great memory, so I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't cheat. I never cheat. Wouldn't cheat. Cheating's not fun.
Bobby Bones
I think a couple of those are lies.
Lunchbox
And you guys are sitting right here. How would I cheat? You're looking right at me.
Bobby Bones
I don't. I don't think you cheat. But cheating is fun for you and you would cheat. But I think we kind of enforce not cheating, right?
Lunchbox
So there is no.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm saying you said you don't.
Amy
Like to cheat, and that makes it not fun.
Bobby Bones
You would.
Lunchbox
I would cheat if I could.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but you're not cheating.
Lunchbox
But I'm not cheating because you guys are looking right at me.
Bobby Bones
There you go, number two.
Caller
Hey, Bobby, I was wondering if you could tell us where and when you will be at the super bowl festivities. I live just a couple hours from the city and was hoping. I'm going, but I especially wanted to go if I could find where you guys were. So let us know on air. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
We are not going to be at the game. We're going to come back from the game. But we're going up to work on Thursday, Friday. And I don't think it's. It's not a public thing where we go, we interview a bunch of people and you have to have, like, credentials to get in. So there's. It's not. You know, where I will be is Thursday night. I'll be at that theater doing the trivia game. And you can come to that. But I. It's not my event, but I think there are tickets. Let me look that up. Because I'm. I'm doing the. It's called the dozen Trivia with one of the barstool teams. You probably look that up. Mike, could you look that up? It's Thursday night in San Francisco at a theater. Yeah, that. That'll be the one public thing that I think I'm doing. Otherwise, I just give you Eddie's room.
Eddie
Unless I do that, is all this stuff going to be, like, in San Francisco or Santa Clara?
Bobby Bones
Like, how does that work? Just go. The games in Santa Clara, but all because it's 45 minutes from there.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So because it's so hard to get out there, the stuff Thursday. Friday is mostly in San Francisco.
Eddie
Got it.
Bobby Bones
I can get you that in a second. I can tell you the theater.
Eddie
Not my room. Not my room.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. We'll see. All right, give me the next one.
Caller
I was trying to follow up with me going to la. I remember you guys talking about she might go and try out for the Price is Right. Just trying to get some more information about that.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah, let me answer this first. It's at the Thursday, 6pm the dozen live show at the Fillmore doors at 5 Pacific, show at 6 Pacific. So, yeah, I'll be on. And these teams exist. They have a whole league. And I think I know Boston Rob is there's. I think there's four teams. And Boston Rob is one of the celebrity guests on one of the team from Survivor. I'm one of the guests. I don't know who else is is right now, but that's what's up. Amy, Lunchbox thought you were going to prices. Right?
Lunchbox
And we didn't even talk about it when you got back. Like, it didn't happen.
Bobby Bones
That's not why she went.
Eddie
Did it not happen?
Amy
I wasn't there for prices.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Amy
Yeah, I already forgot, honestly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, me too.
Amy
Because that was like.
Bobby Bones
And it's been so hard to schedule stuff and on the holidays. And then we had. It was right at the holidays. How funny would it be, though, if in May, like, Amy's like, all right, let's watch our prizes. Right Episode.
Eddie
She wins it.
Amy
And it airs. Yeah. No, that's definitely not what I was doing. I kind of wish that's what it was, but it wasn't.
Bobby Bones
Okay, no update there.
Lunchbox
You're not lying, right?
Amy
Nope.
Bobby Bones
Lion's not fun and she wouldn't do it. Lunchbox did go and he did not make it. But he will be in the crowd in the April episodes, I think March.
Lunchbox
31St and then your birthday April 2nd.
Bobby Bones
There you go. All right, next up, I just wanted.
Caller
To share hope and encouragement to Nashville. We live in Austin, Texas. My husband works for Austin Energy, and he, a crew and a bunch of materials left for Nashville at 4am this morning to go and help. If you see one, say some encouraging words to all the line workers working around the clock and from all over, we're in it with you.
Derek Hough
Bye.
Bobby Bones
Hey, thanks. Line workers going hard. We have been struggling. We went three days without power. That's nothing compared to some folks that still don't have power. Amy lasted another two days, maybe three days more than I did, and then.
Amy
I got it back.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox, what's happening with you?
Lunchbox
27 hours. But half my neighborhood still doesn't have power.
Bobby Bones
You can have credit for that, though.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I do take credit for that because I feel bad for those families that are a few blocks over, but.
Bobby Bones
You'Re taking credit like it's happening to you.
Lunchbox
Well, they do come over and hang out like they were hanging out.
Amy
He also still doesn't have WI fi.
Eddie
Oh, that's.
Lunchbox
Or cable.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Amy
Or cable.
Lunchbox
And then a neighbor, like, three down, though. I guess the wire to their house got severed. So we all have power and they don't.
Bobby Bones
It was here. Amy, were you talking about stolen valor, where they were like, yeah, we don't have power either. And I was feeling soft for him, but it turns out they had a generator the whole time.
Amy
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Kind of feels like what he's doing a little bit.
Lunchbox
What do you mean? I was 27 hours, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Yeah, that's 27 to be exact. That's true.
Lunchbox
It was. It was 27 hours, and it was.
Amy
Well, I think it's because, honestly, when I was thinking about that more, I think it's because it's awkward to be like. Like, it's almost like they couldn't find the right time to say how they have a generator, you know, because it's like, oh, just like an extra. Well, we're good. And then I don't. I think she felt like she needed to. To get it off her chest. So then, like, 10 minutes later, she's like, oh, well, we haven't even had to leave. We have a generator.
Bobby Bones
You just don't say you don't didn't have power then. Like, it. You say they didn't power. Technically, you say, yeah, it went out, but we had a generator.
Amy
Like, say if you don't say it right away, then just.
Eddie
Just.
Amy
I don't know.
Eddie
It's getting hard, though, because it's become an icebreaker. Like, hey, what's up, Tom? Like, hey, did you. So did you guys lose power? Like, it's the first question.
Bobby Bones
It's your dream. You love an icebreaker.
Eddie
And then you gotta be like, no, man. I was one of the lucky ones.
Bobby Bones
You and Mike never lost a dang thing. We had a generator guy come over three weeks before the ice storm, before we even knew there was one coming this way. Gave us a quote, agreed to it. Then the thing hit. We didn't have a generator then. It's delayed coming in. I think we should be getting ours installed in late February. But the irony is, we had already said, yes, we need to generator just didn't. Wasn't there.
Lunchbox
Hopefully the price stays the same.
Bobby Bones
It's just that. Well, we already paid. We already agreed to the price.
Lunchbox
Okay. You know what I mean? Because how they.
Eddie
Why are they.
Lunchbox
What is it called?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, but they're not sourcing them from in Nashville.
Amy
So, I mean, if you needed it now.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Then they may be from locally.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
Okay. But.
Lunchbox
Because sometimes they do that like a gas. You know, like if you're fleeing.
Amy
Yes.
Lunchbox
They put it for like, that's what it's called.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I saw some high school girls. I don't know what was in the bags, but they were brown paper bags. And there was probably six trucks lined up on one street. And you know, these girls probably. I mean, they could drive. So call them 16, 17 years old. And they were going around from truck to truck, like handing the little bags. So I imagine maybe they had baked some cookies or put some little snacks in there. But I just thought, well, that is impressive.
Bobby Bones
I just feel bad for those guys. Cause they are getting paid and get paid overtime. But also. It's just so cold.
Amy
It's so cold.
Bobby Bones
They're just so cold. That sucks. But, yeah, good for Mike and Eddie for never losing power.
Eddie
Yeah, man. You know, we're one of the lucky ones.
Bobby Bones
I felt bad. There was one day I got a little sweaty inside. I'm like, I can't. You guys. You want to be part of the group. So you turn your air all the way down. The AC cold. Next voicemail.
Caller
How do you guys have so many unread everything? Like, it's stressing me out. Just hearing you guys having unread things. That's insane.
Bobby Bones
That's insane. Fully agree. I have none. But yeah, we went through it. One of our stations, I think, like U.S. 135, they did a fun graphic. It was a picture of all of us and it had us listed all the things that we had on social media. It was good. And it made me look at it and go, I cannot believe they.
Amy
Well, it's easy.
Bobby Bones
All these things.
Lunchbox
It really is easy.
Eddie
It's super easy. The.
Amy
The short answer is I would just always feel stressed by it.
Bobby Bones
It's totally unraveled.
Eddie
It's actually easier than reading all of them.
Amy
Right. And like, y' all are getting secondary.
Bobby Bones
But who knows what you're missing?
Amy
Stress.
Eddie
Not worried about it from us.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, like, that's the Right. But that's like all the things you've missed because you weren't paying attention. All the emails you haven't Read all the things. Yeah.
Lunchbox
I mean, what could be that important? If it was important, if it hit me up again.
Eddie
Usually the way it works is they'll email me, I don't see it. And then later in the day like, hey, I sent you an email. Will you check it? Got it. Then I'll go look for it.
Amy
Problemo?
Bobby Bones
Next one, Ray.
Lunchbox
Hey there.
Eugene
My name's Alec from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Back in the day, I remember you guys had somebody that invited you all out to do your show from like his mansion. And he said that he was the secret billionaire and had a second life from his family.
Bobby Bones
Just curious whatever happened to him.
Lunchbox
Thanks.
Bobby Bones
Love the show. That guy was so convincing. We haven't heard from him since. It wasn't real, but we definitely. We don't wore the roses collars, so that to us that was real.
Eddie
Meaning we don't do fake collars.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, you hear war the roses, they actors. So we don't hire actors. And that guy was a really convincing that I thought it could be real. Didn't you guys?
Lunchbox
Yeah, I never thought it was real. He told me I wasn't invited because I kept doubting him. He kept saying, well, everybody butt lunchbox.
Bobby Bones
Well, what was the risk in just going along with it?
Eddie
And what did we change?
Bobby Bones
He was lying. Great content for the show. If he wasn't lying, then we knew a billionaire. Yeah, but I was never gonna go out there.
Eddie
But like, what have you did say like, all right, we'll go. What's he gonna do then? Ah, no, you can't anymore. Cause I'm lying.
Bobby Bones
I think I said we wanted to go and he was like, come on. And then we never just.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
But who knows? He also might not have been lying because we haven't heard from him since. He probably was. I'm a cynic, naturally, so I was cynical. But he probably was. But yeah, I don't know. I don't. We don't have a good answer. That's how you know it wasn't like a contrived bit. We'd have a close to it if it was, but I haven't thought about that guy in a long time. Man, he had us going down.
Eddie
That was cool.
Bobby Bones
We had another guy that called that won the lottery secretly and told us that whole story.
Eddie
Yeah, he had a voice change.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, he did.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Remember his voice was so.
Bobby Bones
No, no, no, no, not that guy. We had a guy that we talked to on the show whose fan. This was like a month ago, two months ago. Oh, he called and talked to Us. He's like, his family doesn't know he won the lottery. I don't remember that Mike. Remember that guy?
Lunchbox
I still don't get a lot of.
Bobby Bones
People calling secretly 1. Crap.
Eddie
It's pretty funny, because I think they just called just to make Lunchbox mad.
Lunchbox
I think that's what it is. It's very frustrating.
Bobby Bones
This guy, I believed, though, because he wasn't bragging about billions or millions. He said his kids didn't know. Yeah, I don't know, but there's your voicemails. Thank you for leaving all those. Who knows what's real or not, man?
Amy
It's hard these days.
Bobby Bones
Don't believe anything. Don't believe anything.
Amy
Not a dang thing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, call us if you want 877 77. Bobby into our voicemails. Thanks, Bones. If you're wanting to go to the super bowl, ticket prices are dropping. So last week, they were about 6,100 bucks at this time. Now they're 4,400. They're gonna drop to about 2,500. We're going out there for a couple days. We're gonna leave before the game. We're gonna do some interviews, and kickoff. Kevin's a big Patriots fan. He's flying out there with us, and then he's like, I'm just gonna come home. We're like, you're a massive Patriots fan.
Amy
Why wouldn't he stay, Right?
Bobby Bones
He's like, I don't want to buy a ticket. It's $6,000. I'm like, dude, it's gonna drop way down.
Amy
Well, so what would be an appropriate.
Bobby Bones
Wait till halftime.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll be giving those away.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
100 bucks.
Bobby Bones
Our thing to him was, you've never been to a Super Bowl. You're already going to be out there. Your team is in it. Put it on a credit card. And that's usually not what I say to people, ever. No, but I say it here. I do say it here.
Eddie
This is once in a lifetime.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. We've already paid for the flight out there, and it's your favorite lifetime team. You're already there. Just pay for the ticket on a credit card.
Lunchbox
I mean, it's only a couple more steps and he's in him.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
So that's what's up. I think his. Yeah. Even if you have to go alone. Yes.
Eddie
You wouldn't go alone if it was.
Bobby Bones
Your favorite team and you were already out there.
Amy
I don't know, guys. Y' all are asking a lot of me right now.
Bobby Bones
You're.
Amy
I'M having to act like I'm a big.
Bobby Bones
Like if Robin Roberts.
Eddie
Robin Roberts was speaking. You were right there, correct?
Amy
I was so close.
Eddie
Yes.
Amy
Okay. Okay, fine. I get it. Yeah. I mean, you could use like an artist I love or like a performance.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, I think tickets will be around 2,500 bucks, which is super expensive because it is the Super Bowl. But how often do you get to go to a Super Bowl? How often is your own team in the super bowl and you're already there.
Amy
So, like, let's say George Strait really is playing his final show ever. Like, it's for real. For real.
Bobby Bones
He's never going to play his final show. That cowboy has come back so many.
Amy
Times you say he. He is riding away for good. And I am so close. Heck yeah. I'm going. You're right.
Bobby Bones
That's from Forbes. A 16 ounce can of beer. What's that?
Amy
That a normal.
Bobby Bones
Is that normal? Two cups?
Eddie
No, it's not normal. It's a little tall. Like it's like a tall boy, but like a little smaller.
Bobby Bones
So it's not as tall of a tall boy.
Amy
Okay, so a normal Coke can is 12 ounces. So a. A 16 ounces. Four more.
Bobby Bones
So how much does that normally cost? A 16 ounces can of beer?
Eddie
Just one?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. $4 at the Super Bowl. $14 for one of those $10 knockouts.
Lunchbox
Yeah. a stadium, it's more.
Eddie
More.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know. Is that way more more, though?
Lunchbox
No, no, it's not that much more.
Bobby Bones
No.
Eddie
Like if I went to the Cowboys and I bought one of those, probably be about the same for a beer.
Bobby Bones
It's 14.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why not just get super wasted before you go? You do, but then I guess you can't experience the same. It's not the same.
Lunchbox
That's why it's tailgate.
Bobby Bones
That's from Forbes. But we told Kevin he just needs to stay and go alone if he has to. I would go alone if it were my team. Although I don't have an NFL team, but if Arkansas.
Eddie
Wait, you do have an NFL team.
Bobby Bones
I mean, not a lifelong one. That I would spend 2, 500 bucks on a Super Bowl. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It's different. All right, we're done. Bye, everybody.

Episode Summary: Never Gonna Get It! + What To Do For V-Day If You're Broke + Compliment Battle! + How To Get Over A Fear Of The Dentist
Bobby Bones and the crew deliver a high-energy episode filled with playful games, real-life advice, and wild stories. Main segments include “Never Gonna Get It,” creative Valentine’s ideas for those on a budget, personal stories about dental fears, a hilarious (and sometimes awkward) Compliment Battle, insightful listener calls, and a lively interview with Derek Hough of "Dancing With The Stars." The mood is fun, occasionally irreverent, and empathetic.

Flint, MI Rescue [20:58 – 24:45]; Little Things [37:39 – 38:24]

The show balances humor, personal vulnerability, and practical life advice. The crew is unafraid to tease each other, dig into awkwardness, and veer into semi-chaotic tangents. At its heart, the episode mixes entertainment with real talk and empathy, keeping listeners engaged and occasionally emotional.
You'll hear guessing-game mayhem, laugh-out-loud “compliments,” wise (and sometimes blunt) advice on relationships and health, plus behind-the-scenes glimpses into the friends' lives. There’s also inspiration from real-world heroes and a pop culture cameo with Derek Hough.
Skipping the ads, this episode is a prime example of Bobby Bones Show at its playful, heartfelt, occasionally rowdy best.
