Bobby Bones
This is an iHeart podcast. Question. What's the best and worst way to communicate with friends? Obviously, it's messaging. Messaging is great, but it can also go off the rails. When I speak on a group chat, I want it to be easy without any issues. WhatsApp can help. You can message privately with everyone and you can edit messages, create polls, do pinned messages and send invites. Plus you can send photos and videos and they look better. It's time for WhatsApp. Message privately with everyone. Hey, it's Bobby Bones here. Have you ever tried planning a trip for a group? It can be challenging. One person wants a hotel with a pool. Another wants a vacation rental with a giant kitchen. And someone else wants free wi fi. You know, on booking.com you can find a stay that works for all of them. Hotels and rentals. Whatever you need. It makes the seemingly impossible group trip totally possible. Find exactly what you are booking for booking.com booking. Yeah. That's booking.com booking. Yeah.

I turned off news altogether.
Bobby Bones
I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of any. It's the rage bait.

Bobby Bones
Hear that? That's what it sounds like when you plant more trees than you harvest. Work done by thousands of working forest professionals like Adam, a district forest manager.
Amy
Who works to protect our forests from fires.
Bobby Bones
Keeping the forest fire resistant. Synonymous with keeping the forest healthy. And we do that through planting more than we harvest and mitigate those risks through active management.
Lunchbox
It's a long term commitment.

Good one. There's our winner, Eddie. Good job.
Eddie
Thank you, Bones.
Bobby Bones
We got this DM from Wayne. He said, hey, today is my wife's one year chemo treatment and we're big Bobby Bones show fans. I think he means one year anniversary. Or maybe first chemo treatment. Yeah, probably one of the two.
Amy
Or maybe her last.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it just says today's my wife's one chemo treatment. So whatever it is, it's serious, obviously. We were listening this morning to your show on 104.1 on the way to Greensboro. I have two questions. One, love the Friday morning dance party. If you ever need a guest pick or two, let me know. Number two. Oh, it is today. The first treatment's today.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
During the first treatment today, I put one earbud in my ear and one for her. No sooner than I put it in, she started singing We Danced by Brad Paisley. Nobody will ever tell us that music is not therapeutic. Thanks. Signed to Wayne and Christy. So I was thinking about this and obviously you guys are going through something right now. It's your first chemo treatment. And I did hit him back and said, hit me with some songs. You wanna do a couple dance party pics? Let's go.
Eddie
That's cool.
Bobby Bones
As long as it's not like polka or something.
Eddie
But that's what they want, you know.
Amy
I don't think he'd do that.
Bobby Bones
You know, if it's polka or John Tesh.
Eddie
John Tesh.
Amy
If he already appreciates the dance party, then he get. That's it.
Bobby Bones
I hear you. Yanni's pretty good. You never know.
Amy
And. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I appreciate you guys listening and we're thinking about you guys. That's a good song. Sometimes you forget that Paisley has like serious songs.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because I think of Paisley now. Just really. It's all the goofy stuff. Yeah, really good, goofy stuff. But like my association with Brad Paisley because of all the music through the years has been ticks and online and I think that has really overridden, like how good Of a musician. And he has one of my favorite songs of all time too. Whiskey Lullaby. But I just think I like the goofy stuff. Did you see the Brad Paisley world series thing that happened?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
So there's only been two 18 inning World Series games in history. A normal baseball game goes like nine, not like nine.
Amy
Okay, yeah, nine. That's my way of guessing.
Bobby Bones
And if it goes extra innings, it could go up to 10, 11, 12 if it goes. That's basically two games.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
So the two 18 inning games, he played the national anthem for both. There was one a few nights ago. There was one a few years ago, and that was 2018. He did the national anthem at both of those games.
Amy
Weird. That is weird.
Bobby Bones
The only two 18 inning games ever. Now he has played the national anthem four times in the world series. Okay, no.
Amy
Oh, does it stop there?
Bobby Bones
It's also weird. Yes.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
World Series game two in 2017, he played that national anthem. It went 11 innings. So extra innings. World Series game three in 2018 was the first 18 inning game. World Series game one in 2024, 10 innings, extra innings. World Series game three In 2025, 18 innings. All four times he's played the national anthem, it has gone extra innings.
Eddie
That's strange.
Bobby Bones
And the only two 18 inning games ever. He's been the guy.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
So what does this mean?
Bobby Bones
I don't know. Maybe he should play ticks before losing. Everybody, you know?
Amy
Yeah, it sounds like. I mean, they need sort of like a intermission halftime show too. Because those games are so long.
Bobby Bones
So long. The 18 game the other night, I didn't even stay awake for. Yeah. I was like, I don't care enough. The Cubs aren't playing. It's ending 11. I gotta go to sleep. I'll just catch up in the morning. Turns out it could have woken up. Still watch the game.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, now that makes sense. When I saw pictures about that game, I kept seeing pictures of Brad Paisley, but I didn't. I wasn't playing. Care about the game really. So I wasn't like reading about it, But I'm like, okay, now I understand why Brad was in so many pictures.
Bobby Bones
You thought he batted after Shohei.
Amy
Yeah.
Eddie
Do they stretch twice in an 18 inning game?
Amy
I mean, do they get to eat?
Eddie
Because you got to do that 17 stretch.
Bobby Bones
Do they get to eat?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Well, they can snack.
Bobby Bones
A snack? Yes, they have those. And you can also walk back into the clubhouse because it's a little hallway. Oh, but I don't think they stopped the game for a full meal.
Amy
Well, yeah, that would be.
Bobby Bones
All right. Well, we're at 14. The tables are set, tablecloths are on.
Amy
Yeah. Because they need to digest. But I just feel like that's a really long time, you know, it's weird.
Bobby Bones
So game five was last night, and I think I watched it until the sixth inning, and Blue Jays were winning. They ended up winning the whole thing. The whole game. The Blue Jays are from where?
Amy
Blue Jays.
Eddie
Come on, you got this.
Amy
I've. Honestly, I don't know.
Bobby Bones
No, because it's not a new team. I just wanted to.
Amy
I know, I know. Like, the teams. I know. I. I know.
Bobby Bones
The blank blue team. The blank Blue Jays. Just take a guess. What do you think? The Blue Jays.
Amy
Milwaukee.
Bobby Bones
That'd be the Brewers.
Amy
Now that you say that, that sounds familiar.
Caller with Ankle Surgery
The.
Amy
No, that's Red Sox. No, it's white socks. Is it alliteration? Like B.
Bobby Bones
Blue Jays? No, it's not.
Amy
Okay, then. Indianapolis.
Eddie
She may never get it.
Bobby Bones
She would not get it. It's not a city in America.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
Right.
Amy
Well, so where are they from?
Bobby Bones
Well, that's the point of the game here.
Amy
Oh, are they over, like, kind of America? Like Jamaica.
Eddie
Jamaica.
Bobby Bones
So kind of America. Jamaica.
Amy
I mean, I know Jamaica is America, but you know what I mean.
Eddie
The Kingstown Blue Jays, somewhere over there.
Bobby Bones
Hold on. Are you thinking, like, Dominican Republic? Jamaica is not kind of America.
Amy
Jamaica's on my mind. Sorry.
Bobby Bones
They have their own Olympic team.
Lunchbox
I know.
Amy
I really. I was talking about Puerto Rico. Jamaica's on my mind because of Hurricane Melissa. Okay, keep going. They're not in America, but they're the Blue Jays. Oh, are they up in Canada?
Bobby Bones
Now we're talking.
Amy
Okay. Oh, Toronto.
Bobby Bones
Correct.
Amy
Okay. Now we got there. I just needed a little coaching, and.
Bobby Bones
So they're playing the Dodgers.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
And I want to say this. You're not going to be anybody that loves America more than me, but I couldn't be. I couldn't be rooting harder for the Toronto Blue Jays.
Amy
Okay. Oh, I guess it is the World Series.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
What's crazy, though, is that Buffalo is so close to Toronto that a lot of Bills fans were at the game, and I didn't realize that they're so close to each other.
Bobby Bones
The ride across.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So I've been rooting for Toronto.
Amy
And who were they playing?
Bobby Bones
Where did Brad Paisley play the anthem?
Amy
I don't know. I told you. I kept skipping past the articles. I just saw.
Bobby Bones
He's a massive Dodgers fan.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah.
Amy
All right.
Bobby Bones
So I'm rooting for Toronto.
Lunchbox
Los Angeles.
Amy
Dodgers got it.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
My brain can only handle so much in one moment. And like, I don't really care about baseball.
Bobby Bones
You would be pretty normal in America at this point is by far the third most popular sport. But the World Series ratings are up.
Amy
Where does it go? Football, Basketball.
Bobby Bones
Football, baseball, Pickleball.
Amy
Pickleball.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Amy
What do you think? The rating? So it's football one, basketball two, baseball three, baseball three, then hockey four.
Bobby Bones
Four gets to be a bit dicey. UFC is massive. Now that could be up there.
Eddie
Love ufc.
Bobby Bones
They're now selling and they're getting. They're across major, you know, networks and platforms. Golf is big, hockey is. But maybe even soccer.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Because there are now MLS teams and premier leagues kind of a thing. But you got to watch it at 2 in the morning.
Amy
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
But it's kind of 1, 2, 3, and then there's a drop off. But, you know, I'm more of a female figure skating guy.
Eddie
You've always loved that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that and pickleball.
Amy
You know what a question that popped up for us around the dinner table the other night, like with question cards, was if you could be in any Olympic sport, which one would you choose to compete in?
Better Picks Announcer 2
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Break dancing.
Amy
Really?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
You would choose breakdancing.
Amy
I thought you would go for one of them. That's like the most watched.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. I would make everybody watch breakdancing.
Lunchbox
Oh.
Bobby Bones
Because I would get in automatic bid. Because I have a championship, right?
Amy
Yeah.

Time offer I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group, even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it and when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big ol mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Now streaming on Paramount it is the epic return of Mayor of Kingstowne. From Taylor Sheridan, co creator of Landman, and Antoine Fuqua, executive producer of the Equalizer, comes an all new season. Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner returns as Mike McCluskey, an ex con fighting to keep peace inside and outside the prison walls of Kingstown. And now, with his brother Kyle behind bars, Mike must face off with a new warden played by Emmy Award winner Edie Falco. Trapped in an unrelenting power struggle, Mike's world unravels. His control over Kingstown is threatened by Detroit's legendary and formidable gangster Frank Moses, played by BAFTA award winner Lennie James. Frank stakes his own claim in Kingstown's criminal underworld by forging a new partnership with Crip leader Bunny Washington, putting Mike and Bunny's long standing friendship on the line. Caught between loyalty and survival, Mike must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly enemies, risking everything to protect those he loves in a place where trust is a liability and escape is not an option. Mayor of Kingstowne an all new season now streaming on Paramount.

Ticked Off Co-worker
There's a question to be asked.
Bobby Bones
Hello, Bobby Bones. I just wrapped up a huge project at work with a teammate who barely contributed. I did all the heavy lifting, but I didn't mind him handling the communication. That is, until we presented the project. He took over the meeting. He talked over me. He kept saying things like I decided or I created. When I mentioned it to my manager, he laughed it off and said, oh, I'm mad. Do I gather proof and take it to my boss, let me know what I should do? Signed, ticked off co worker. No, dude, get over it. Yeah, just learn. Don't work with them anymore. No, this happens in life all the time. You're gonna do stuff. People are gonna take credit for your work. You gotta learn who you can work with or you can't work with. And matter of fact, as long as it went through, they're not even looking at who did the work. You and him, you and her. Whomever this was, you guys were teammates. You presented it. If it was successful, you both did it. You moved on, you kept your job. You just don't work with them again. But no, you don't want to be a tattletale. The worst thing in a professional environment is a tattletale, because nobody cares. Just get the job done. Don't care. Don't care takes credit. Don't care who did the most of it. But did you get it done? Yep. Awesome. Moving On. That'd be my advice.
Amy
Well, there's some things worth reporting.
Bobby Bones
I don't think so. Unless he grabbed his junk or something. Well, yeah, in a meeting. HR That's.
Eddie
That'd be bad.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that'd be bad.
Amy
But, yeah. Yeah, that type of tattletailing is okay.
Bobby Bones
That is okay. Yes. That's not even tattletal. That's just telling.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
I have. No. I have nothing to say except you got it done. Don't work with this person again. In life, you learn. Or even in marriage, everything's not 50 50. And sometimes people take credit for things they really didn't do, and sometimes you're going to do that inadvertently. So, no.
Amy
What if they don't have a choice? What if they get assigned to this person again somehow?
Bobby Bones
Then you know what you're getting yourself into with them. Yeah, of course. Mm. So, no, you do nothing. You move on with your life. That's my advice. You learned a valuable lesson, and now you move on with your life. And in life, people are gonna take credit for a lot of the things that you're doing. And you know what? You're probably gonna get credit for things that other people have done as well, and you don't even realize it. So don't be a tattletale. Just in general. Unless they grabbed your junk, then you can tell, and that's okay. Anything else you want to add to that?
Amy
Yeah, no, I was thinking the whole time. I'm not saying anything.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no, because also. But you don't want.
Amy
I mean, I understand the frustration.
Bobby Bones
You don't want to get, like, they're breaking into your house.
Amy
Yeah, but just in general, I'm not a. Yeah, Like, I would just have to. Yeah, I'd have to figure out how I'm gonna work through it if I have to get put in that situation again.
Bobby Bones
If they get, like, a huge promotion and a raise because of the work that they did in that situation, and.
Amy
Then I'm gonna be annoyed.
Bobby Bones
That usually doesn't happen in a group project. Usually the whole group gets the credit or gets penalized based on the lack of quality work. So get over it. Move on. Good job. Just be aware next time. Life lesson. All right, close it up. All right, lunchbox. What happened to you at the airport that you're so upset about?
Lunchbox
So I get to the gate, and all the seats are pretty much full. It's packed. And so there's, like, 20 wheelchairs just sitting there unused. Oh, my God. I'm just gonna sit in a wheelchair while I Wait, before they open the gate so you can walk down the jetway? No, and so you do have a point.
Bobby Bones
There are a bunch of open seats. But anyway, just to think, if you're sitting in a wheelchair, go ahead.
Lunchbox
So I sit in a wheelchair, and I'm just sitting there, and I mean, I'm maybe sitting in it for three to four minutes, and this guy comes up to me, he's one of the gate agents or where he's like, excuse me, sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to find another seat because those are for our. What do you call them, Disabled patrons.
Eddie
Okay, okay, that makes sense.
Lunchbox
And I was like, there's like 20 of them. He goes, yes, sir. They're saved for people that need assistance getting on and off the plane. And we have a plane pulling up. We may need to use them. Okay, you're going to need 20 wheelchairs for one plane. Like, come on. Like, what is the big deal if I sit in a wheelchair at the gate?
Bobby Bones
Well, I think the big deal is if 19 other people want to come and sit. Because you've started the sitting. It's not so much about you, but if other people can't find a seat, then the next thing you know, everybody's using those seats as the extra seats. There are no wheelchairs on the plane comes in.
Lunchbox
I just thought it was a little overzealous on this guy's part to kick me out of the wheelchair. Like, it's not like I was wheeling down the.
Eddie
The.
Lunchbox
The hallways and trying to, you know, just use the. I was just using it as a seat for, you know, 10 minutes until it was time to board. And he. He wasn't having it. No, sorry, man. Gotta move. So had to go stand next to the wall.
Bobby Bones
I don't think it was about you in that one wheelchair. I think it was about, if everybody did it, there would be no wheelchairs. That's all. I understand why you'd be frustrated.
Eddie
Have you guys ever seen a wheelchair and just, I'm going to sit on that?
Bobby Bones
I never have, but I didn't. I didn't explore that. I just. Because he has. Obviously he sees a chair, it needs to be sat in. Doesn't matter, right?
Lunchbox
If it's not being used. Yeah, why not use it? There's 20 of them just sitting there. That's 20 free seats.
Bobby Bones
And that's what they're worried about, that 20 people will take them, and then they can't. They don't have them.
Eddie
Like, they see him sitting there and be like, oh, well, I'll sit there too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're just using them. I didn't know these were extra seats. Obviously there weren't a lot of seats, but you were just kind of on edge anyway from the whole airport experience. From the travel trip.
Lunchbox
Yeah, Just tired, grouchy, you know, But I'm annoyed that there was no seats, and so I wanted to sit down.
Bobby Bones
Did you do the whole. He's mad at the company. He thinks the company's cheap.
Eddie
Oh, no.
Amy
Our company?
Lunchbox
Yeah, our company is cheap, and I don't understand it. You want to why? Because every time they book me on a flight and I Fly South West 99% of the time, and they never pay for the early bird check in, it's like an extra $20. Guys, I'm a star of the company. I am one of the head honchos, the big faces of one of the biggest morning shows in the country. You think you would pay the extra $20 so I don't have to be stressed out at, like, oh, my gosh, it's three minutes till it's time to check in. It's three minutes. Okay. Two minutes to hit refresh. One minute. One minute. Oh, where am I gonna get my boarding pass? C12. Oh, no. I might not get a window.
Eddie
That's so true.
Lunchbox
It's so true. My company just fork over there for 20 bucks and do the early bird check in. It's so annoying.
Bobby Bones
Who booked your flight?
Lunchbox
I have no idea. The company.
Bobby Bones
Well, maybe whenever you travel, just say, hey, would you mind paying for the early bird check in if you never asked for it? They're not gonna do it.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Eddie
If they say yes to that, dude, then next one, you got to be first class.
Amy
Well, Southwest, there is no first one.
Bobby Bones
But they are now doing. They're gonna sign seats soon. And leg. Extra leg room.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I will be requesting that now that you say I should request it, because I am like.
Bobby Bones
Or you can just pay the 20 bucks yourself and then, well, expense it.
Lunchbox
Oh, I could do that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Here's what's crazy, though, because then I'm getting on the plane and I am stressed out. Is there gonna be a window open? Oh, my God. And I got on the plane, and there's, like, four people in front of me, and I'm looking at the back of plane. There's only three windows left, and I'm like, I'm gonna have to jump in front of someone to get a window.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like a book. Keep going.
Lunchbox
And luckily, the lady in front of me, she wanted an aisle. She sat on the aisle. Dang. I got me a win.
Bobby Bones
Crazy ending.
Eddie
Wow, dude.
Lunchbox
Oh, my God. No, it's. That's stressful.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Well, what'd you learn?
Lunchbox
I learned that they are anti people using wheelchairs that don't need them.
Bobby Bones
Yes. I think generally we are as a society.
Eddie
Yeah.
Lunchbox
And our company's cheap. Two things I learned on this trip.
Bobby Bones
Did you get paid to go down there?
Lunchbox
No.
Bobby Bones
You just did it.
Lunchbox
Hey, goodness in my heart, man.
Eddie
That's sweet.
Lunchbox
Company man. You are company man.
Bobby Bones
Company man. Well, thanks for that. Hey, as an ambassador of the company, thank you for that.
Lunchbox
You're welcome.
Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Natalie Graybow is 80 years old from New Jersey. And most 80 year olds, you're happy if they walk to the mailbox and back. Well, this lady said, no, I'm gonna go out and set a world record. And she just completed the iron man in Hawaii, the world championships. The oldest person in the history, 80 year old woman.
Bobby Bones
So I think that's running a marathon. It's also swimming a couple of miles, 2.4 miles, and then cycling maybe 100 miles, 112 miles.
Lunchbox
At 80 years old, folks. That is crazy. Yeah, that is bananas.
Bobby Bones
A lot of energy on this one, huh?
Eddie
Anything else? Is that. What else?
Lunchbox
I mean, that's a world record, folks. 80 years old, that is nutty. Have you ever seen an 80 year old?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Sometimes. I don't know, but probably.
Lunchbox
And you look at them, you're like, man, I'm just glad they can walk.
Bobby Bones
She's ripped at 80, obviously.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that is.
Amy
She must have really done a good job of taking care of herself, like early on. Yeah, early on. Yes. Like that's where I am right now.
Bobby Bones
I read she didn't even learn how to swim until she was 50.
Amy
What? Okay, the swimming part, but she did other work.
Bobby Bones
Bananas. Yep. Yeah. No, it's awesome. 80 years old, I couldn't do that. Now, obviously I got a bad ankle, but if I've had a good angle, who knows?
Amy
This is the age, Bobby. This is our age where we have to start caring for ourselves or we're 80.
Bobby Bones
I'm having a surgery. You're trying to talk me out of it.
Amy
I know. Just like when you have your surgery, don't lay around because you don't want atrophy.
Bobby Bones
Okay?
Amy
Your muscle is going to deteriorate faster.
Bobby Bones
Thank you, Amy. All right, good story. Congratulations to her 80 year old grandma. Just became the oldest ever to do the Iron Man. That's awesome. That's what it's all about.
Better Picks Announcer 2
That was.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good, Bones. Amy, what do you have for us?
Amy
So I saw something called the 777 rule. It's a way for couples to stay connected. And in a nutshell, it involves a date night every seven days, a weekend getaway every seven weeks.
Bobby Bones
That feels a bit much.
Eddie
Yeah, it's expensive.
Amy
And a kid free vacation every seven months.
Eddie
I like that.
Amy
Who in the world can do this 777 rule? There was some. There was some guy, some famous person. I even know who he was, but I guess he got caught cheating on his wife. And part of you probably figure that.
Bobby Bones
Out if you get caught, you on your wife.
Amy
Part of their recovery or trying to make their relationship work was that he had to start doing the 7, 7, 7 rule with his wife. So it helps you stay connected so that you don't have that disconnect.
Bobby Bones
It helps you stay connected if you have money.
Eddie
Because.
Bobby Bones
Because think of both of them. You do the one weekend every seven weeks, but then you're factoring in that weekend still has to happen every seven weeks while you're adding in that one kidless vacation every seven months. Yeah. People go on like one vacation for one week a year.
Eddie
Is every seven months. Once a a year, though, I don't know.
Bobby Bones
Then the calendar gets weird because then you're five months into the next.
Eddie
You have to have one in January.
Amy
Well, it did say you don't have to hold it to, like, if you go on a date on a Saturday and it hasn't been seven days, and the next day that you can go on a date is like that following Thursday. And you're like, well, it hasn't been seven days yet. Like, you can. You can. There's wiggle room. But in general, 777, what's a rule.
Bobby Bones
In everyone's relationship right now? It can be as loose. Like I would say with us, we have Tuesday nights that we are for sure. And this was mostly when I was traveling a lot. And it's touring or traveling, doing TV or whatever it was if I was gone. We always had Tuesday nights from 5 to 9. It was in the calendar. And now I'm home a lot more. My wife's pregnant, so we still do it, but we don't have to commit to it because we're together a lot more. That was mostly just to make sure that I didn't let my schedule consume me. So we had Tuesday nights. That's kind of one of Our rules.
Gambling Problem PSA
You.
Bobby Bones
What about you guys?
Amy
We have a rule for myself.
Bobby Bones
Okay. Don't get defensive in your relationship. What do you get defensive about?
Amy
Everything.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Amy
Well, it's part of my. I don't know, it's like a protective thing for me. Like, I just sort of assume that the worst is being said. So I meet with, like, defensiveness, and I've gotten a lot better. But that's like. That's a rule. And I mean, for us, like, going out, it's hard with. Between the two of us with five kids, but we try to go on a date like, once a month.
Bobby Bones
Older kids, though, right? It's like babies.
Amy
I know, but they're like, well, when I do have mine and then his. They're very active, and there's a lot of activities and sports, and then it's hard, and then we're tired. So part of that is sometimes on us where it's like, do we really want to, you know, go out to eat tonight? But I'm glad he makes that a priority because sometimes we'll be like, hey, well, let's. Before we go to the basketball game for the kids, let's go try this new restaurant. And I'm like, oh, okay. I'm just glad he's better at that than I am, because I would be like, yeah, Eddie, I'm good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
We can't criticize each other in front of the kids. That's a big rule. Because. Because sometimes the kids will be like, well, dad says that you do this. And she's like, really? See, they heard that from you or vice versa. So if we're going to criticize each other, we're going to be like, can I talk to you for a second?
Bobby Bones
Do you do that? Can I talk to you for a second? Later. Handle it after. Later in the day. Got it.
Eddie
Like, earlier you did that. I really didn't like that. And I would have normally said, you're being fill in the blank, but I.
Bobby Bones
Didn'T do it in front of the kids. That's good.
Eddie
Yeah. That's healthy.
Bobby Bones
I'll learn about that one.
Eddie
You'll get there. Yeah.
Amy
That's the role I have with my co parenting relationship. Well, Ben and I have with our. In front of the kids, like, we're on calls. And the other day, we were on a call with our daughter, and he said something, and I go, ben. And I was like, just kidding, but I called it. Like, I couldn't believe he said something that he said. And then I. And then I had to backtrack but we've both done that in the last couple weeks or so. But then we've handled it well. We've called each other after and been like, hey, sorry I said that in.
Bobby Bones
Front of you guys. Say sorry to each other. Good for you guys. I still more glad we're still like, wow, wow, wow.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox it.
Lunchbox
Ours is kind of like Eddie's. It's like not blaming the other person. Like, the kid will come home like you for mom forgot or someone forgot to put this note in my binder. I'm like, oh, mom was supposed to do that. You can't say. They just be like, oh, we messed up.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Instead of placing the blame, like if they want a milk refill, it's like, I asked for milk. Well, mom was supposed to get no, we forgot to get you more milk. Sorry about that. But I, I slip up sometimes.
Eddie
It's tough.
Bobby Bones
You slip up and blame her.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
Because she's really the one that gets them out the door for school. Like, I'm already at work, so.
Bobby Bones
So it is her fault.
Lunchbox
It is her fault. And so I'm just like, I'm sorry Mom forgot to do that. And I'm like, I mean, we forgot to do that.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group, even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big ol mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone.

Bobby Bones
Okay, so I'm gonna let Morgan tell the story. I've not heard of iPhones doing this. If so, it feels creepy. So this happened to your sister?
Morgan
Yeah, she got the new iPhone.
Bobby Bones
What? Tell everybody on the show what that. What the iPhone did.
Morgan
So we were FaceTiming and she sat her FaceTime down while she was, like, putting on shoes to go take the dogs for a walk. And the FaceTime started zooming into her private parts while it was sitting there.
Amy
Wait, what?
Eddie
What? How?
Amy
Like why?
Bobby Bones
Exactly. Exactly. So what's happening here? One, is Morgan full of crap?
Amy
Was it looking for the face?
Bobby Bones
Two, well, it doesn't even. It's not supposed to look for the face on FaceTime. It's not like it's AI and it follows you. This is a camera.
Lunchbox
And you.
Bobby Bones
You're sure that her phone started zooming in on her private parts?
Morgan
I promise you. Because I. I was like, taylor, are.
Bobby Bones
You messing with me?
Morgan
Are you doing something over there? She's like, it is the new phone. Maybe there's a new feature on FaceTime. But no, I have not touched a single button. It was zooming in. Like, she turned around, it zoomed on her butt. She was turning face forward. It zoomed in forward. And I was like, what is going on? So I do know there's a. I looked it up, and there is a new feature on FaceTime that, like, follows center stage.
Bobby Bones
Is what the. That what it's called. Yeah, but it's not like center boobs or center butt.
Morgan
But yeah, I don't. I Don't know why it was doing that. It was the most bizarre thing I. And then it was funny because once I called it out. But you have to turn it.
Bobby Bones
But it's supposed to be something you turn on. Maybe she didn't know she turned it on. Yeah, it's still weird. It's like going up on her. On her stuff.
Amy
But then when Morgan. Morgan said when she called it out, it stopped.
Bobby Bones
Are you sure?
Morgan
I swear this happened. I promise you. Because both her and I were in shock that it was going on.
Eddie
Could it have been hacked?
Bobby Bones
Well, this whole feature, this center stage, is supposed to be eye contact. Like, if you move, it stays with your eyes. Not with your boobs.
Eddie
That could be seen as eyes.
Bobby Bones
No, not if they're covered. They don't look like eyes if they're covered.
Eddie
Computer is like, is that eyes or not?
Lunchbox
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
What do you think happened? What's your best guess?
Eddie
I.
Morgan
My best guess is that it just couldn't quite figure out and it. We got unlucky that it was zooming on those two areas. But I know, I know that's the. My best guess, though, because otherwise it doesn't make any sense. Unless somebody did hack it. And as soon as I brought to attention, you know, then it stops doing it.
Bobby Bones
Do you ever think people are, like, people are in your phones? Like, I cover myself up with napkins. Like, if I got a pee or something. Oh, all the time. I put my phone down, I cover with a napkin so people can't watch me pee.
Eddie
Sometimes I'll open up, you know, unlock my phone, and then the little camera light will be on, and then it just shuts up.
Bobby Bones
A little red light. Yeah. Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, like, what was that? Why was that on? Same.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys ever get that?
Lunchbox
No.
Eddie
Maybe you just don't notice.
Bobby Bones
Maybe you guys aren't, like, sexy and hackable.
Eddie
People are looking at our phones.
Bobby Bones
People waiting to get us on center stage. They can see our junk. Do you ever wonder about what people did before you could sit on the toilet with your phone magazines? Yeah, we literally lived in that time, guys. But I'm saying, like, that was a weird. And if you didn't take anything in.
Eddie
With you, people had baskets with literature.
Bobby Bones
Because it stayed there.
Eddie
And they'd be like a book of jokes. Like, oh, pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Kids these days don't know what it's like to go to the bathroom without their phone. Morgan. That's weird. Has it happened since?
Morgan
It hasn't happened since just the one.
Bobby Bones
Time Eddie Went, where were you when you had your phone up?
Eddie
I was, I was at the coffee shop. Starbucks.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so the guy's working there. What's he see on your phone?
Eddie
So you know how, like, when you're listening to music and you pause it, the artwork of the artist or whatever, still on your phone? And so I order my coffee and the guy's like, are you. Were you listening to Blink 182? And I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. He goes, wow, wow, that's cool. And I was like, what? Like, what does that mean? Like, was he. Couple of things. I'm like, was he surprised that an older guy like me was listening to One Blink 182?
Bobby Bones
Do you feel like you're an older guy?
Amy
Wait, so was it. What, was he younger?
Eddie
Yeah, he was like a young, like, hipster dude.
Amy
Okay, okay.
Bobby Bones
And.
Eddie
Or was he just like, no way he was listening to Blink 182. I don't, I don't understand what that whole comment was. And I just answered it because he.
Bobby Bones
Asked, so do it again. Do his what?
Eddie
He said, so I ordered my coffee and he's just like, are you listening to Blink 182? And I go, yeah. Wow, that's cool.
Amy
I mean, I think you can tell with the initial question. Are you listening to.
Bobby Bones
Oh, if the emphasis is on you, yeah. Like, was it like, are you or are.
Eddie
Are you?
Bobby Bones
Listen, I think the power of the you matters.
Eddie
It was more of just like a question, like, but, but I don't understand. I don't understand why you'd be perplexed that I'm listening to Blink 182 though.
Amy
What were you wearing?
Eddie
Workout clothes.
Amy
Hat or no hat?
Eddie
No hat.
Amy
Okay.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So what are you saying?
Eddie
Cuz I'm bald.
Amy
Looked older? No, you look older without a hat.
Bobby Bones
Blink 182 is old. They're all.
Amy
I thought so too. I don't know.
Eddie
It was bizarre, man. And I didn't know whether to be offended or not. I'm like, well, maybe he just thinks maybe it's his favorite band. I thought too, maybe it's his favorite band.
Bobby Bones
Oh, like, that's cool. Somebody else also enjoys Blink 1, right?
Eddie
But everyone likes Blink 182. I thought it was a weird one, man. I left with my coffee being like, what was that about?
Bobby Bones
Should I be offended right now? So they say more Gen Z's are refusing to take the last names of their husbands. Your initial thought, Amy?
Amy
I wonder what that's about. Just independence.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Not falling into tradition for tradition's Sake.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
Only.
Amy
Yeah. And makes it easier. Also, changing your name is such a process.
Bobby Bones
If you were to get married again, how much would it matter that your kids have the old name that you had? Would you change your name again?
Amy
If I get married again? Yes, I would change my name.
Bobby Bones
Dang. You did, like, five of them. That's a lot of names.
Amy
No, I wouldn't have five of them.
Better Picks Announcer
3.
Amy
I would remain Amy Brown, but. But legally, I would be my married. Whoever I married.
Bobby Bones
But Brown's not your maiden name. Did you ever go back to your maiden name?
Amy
No.
Bobby Bones
Is it because your kids.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Amy
And also paperwork, you know.
Eddie
So.
Amy
Yeah. But mostly my kids.
Bobby Bones
I told my wife she could keep her last name when we got married. I was like, you don't have to change it.
Eddie
And what'd she say?
Bobby Bones
No, she decided to come along.
Eddie
Good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. But I was like, I don't care. You can literally keep your name if you want. Her thing was the same. She was like, eventually, we'll have kids, and we kind of want them to have the same name as their parents. For a split second, I consider taking hers. Legally, I didn't. But for a split second, I considered it because I don't even use my real name that much because I have a stupid stage name. So I was like, we could. It never really leaned. I was really gonna do it. But I did think about it.
Eddie
So if tradition was to change your last name, you would have no problem with it?
Bobby Bones
None.
Eddie
Oh, interesting.
Lunchbox
You're weird.
Amy
See, these guys, they could never.
Lunchbox
No.
Eddie
That's tough, man.
Bobby Bones
I don't think anybody should be changing their names. I think we're. I'm fine. Everybody keep their own name? Yes. But could you marry somebody that wouldn't take your last name?
Eddie
Yeah, that's fine. But if you asked me to change my name, oh, I'd have trouble with that.
Amy
But if she was like, yeah, no, I'm not taking your last name. You'd be.
Eddie
I'd be like, that's okay. That's fine.
Amy
For real?
Eddie
Yeah, but. But that's weird. Like, it's fine if she doesn't want to change her name. But does that make. Like, how do we communicate that to other people?
Amy
Well, who cares about that? I'm worrying. What do you do with your kids?
Eddie
Yeah, they gotta take my name. The kids take mine.
Amy
Well, why is that?
Eddie
Because I'm the man of the house.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Eddie
But I don't want her to change her name just because. That's true.
Bobby Bones
But the kids have to have your name.
Eddie
Oh, they need a name, so might as well.
Amy
But what if she's like, well, they can have mine now.
Lunchbox
That doesn't make sense, does it?
Bobby Bones
Yeah, if we had that issue in my marriage, it would have made more sense to have taken her name because she, like, knows all of her family and has a rich history with her family and to pass that down where I really don't. Yeah, so it would have made more sense for that reason.
Amy
It's not too late.
Lunchbox
It is.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's way too late.
Lunchbox
Ship has sailed.
Bobby Bones
Paperwork. I learned in a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of these girls say that they don't want to be. They're not property, so why should they have to change their name?
Amy
Yeah, I get that, but I still.
Bobby Bones
It is kind of a weird thing from hundreds of years ago where it's like the man owns the woman. So you now have my name.
Amy
Yeah, we've evolved quite a bit. However, some stuff I just like, like I, I, I will change my name if I get married again because just to feel that for me, I like that. And plus, yeah, I mean, I'm not using my maiden name anyways. It'd be good for me to move on from my first marriage name.
Bobby Bones
But your kids still have that name.
Amy
Yes, but by the time if I were to get remarried, I don't know, they'll be a little bit older and I'll still be Amy Brown professionally, which I wonder if that bothers my ex husband and like, if he gets remarried.
Gambling Problem PSA
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What about his new girl?
Amy
I don't know. I thought about that. Like, if he gets remarried camping on her name.
Lunchbox
Dang.
Bobby Bones
What if you just fight for it one on one?
Amy
No, I'm not. I'll be like, fine, you'd lose it. I, I'm not fighting for it. I'm just lazy, so.
Bobby Bones
Or like Jenga for it. Like, we did one Jenga match. We stream it live on our YouTube channel for the name. No, no, there was a story. That woman, we talked about her, she bought a billboard and she was like, hey, looking for a husband. It was marylisa.com. yeah, there's an update. She says she's got over 38, 000 applications, 38, 000 and over 8, 000 messages. But she has officially over 38, 000 people who have applied to go on a date with her.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Bobby Bones
There are some, quote, really great guys in the mix. And she's excited to go on dates, though she's taking things slowly by contacting only a few men. At a time. Daily Mail. Problem is if you don't contact these guys are gonna like, you're gonna contact them three months later, they're probably gonna be with somebody else. But the other problem is you put up on a billboard and that's weird, right?
Amy
But hey, it seems like it worked.
Bobby Bones
She's very normal looking.
Eddie
Yeah, that's weird.
Bobby Bones
It doesn't look like someone that you would think would struggle having a guy come up to her and be like, hey, I'd like to go on a date with you.
Eddie
So getting started, well, that's just what she looks like.
Bobby Bones
I know, but it ain't that hard to get first dates if you're a pretty woman. It's actually very easy if you're an attractive female to get first dates. You can be crazy and never get a second date. But all but it's very easy for attractive female to get a first date. And she's way more attractive than you would think someone would be that would do this kind of billboard. Now if it were like her tick tock account or something, I get it. Because it would be a reason for it.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So anyway, so big shout out to Lisa@marylisa.com shout out. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie.
Eddie
There's a family road trip tripping from Colorado to Mississippi. And they're in the middle of Arkansas, hardy Arkansas. And a lug nut comes loose in their car. Car wheel starts wobbling, wheel comes off completely. They're like, oh my gosh, we're stranded on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. The dad calls 91 1. Here comes Sergeant Dan Gallagher shows up. Wow, what do we got here? We got problems. We need to get this car towed and we need to get you guys to a hotel cuz you're going to be here for a while. But he doesn't just say that. He drives them to the hotel, goes to the front desk. Your money's no good here. He pays for the hotel for them to stay in town while their car gets fixed.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty cool. Only in movies or television shows do I see where someone's broken down. They have to stay like a whole weekend.
Amy
Yeah, yeah. Like it's a Hallmark movie for sure.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's like it's late Friday and their car breaks down. So they're stuck till Monday and they end up meeting someone or they panic or they get murdered. It's either like hallmark or like, okay.
Eddie
I hope they don't get murdered.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Also I'm a little Offended that you said Hardee's middle of nowhere. I mean, it's a small town in Arkansas.
Eddie
Yeah, that's what they said. Middle nowhere.
Bobby Bones
It's. No, it's not nowhere.
Eddie
Hard. Do you know where Hardy is?
Amy
Middle of nowhere is just the saying.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't like it. I'm offended. I'm from Arkansas, and I think Arkansas somewhere. And for all you people that don't. Up yours.
Lunchbox
But it's not near a big city. Right?
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
It's like northeast Arkansas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Shout out to that town. Small town people. Take town. Take care of each other.
Eddie
Sergeant Dan Gallagher.
Bobby Bones
Big shout out to Sergeant Dan Gallagher. Hardy, Arkansas.
Eddie
Apparently, there's a lot of people living Hardy, so you matter.
Bobby Bones
I want everybody out there. Hard to know. You matter. All right. That's what it's all about.
Better Picks Announcer 2

Lunchbox

Gambling Problem PSA
Nothing.
Bobby Bones
Ask it again. Ask it again. I know.
Amy
After dark, but it's a little.
Lunchbox
Come on, skull.
Amy
What do skeletons do at wild parties?
Lunchbox
Rattle their bones.
Eddie
Shake, rattle and roll, roll, shake.
Lunchbox

Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
What?
Amy
That one Guy pass around a joint.
Lunchbox
What?
Eddie
There's no way.
Bobby Bones
There's no way we'd have guessed that. It's like too early in the morning.
Amy
For that, what you said.
Bobby Bones
And then I were like, well, we can't do that one.
Eddie
That was borderline after dark. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Borderline. Yeah.
Amy
That wild.
Bobby Bones
I apologize to all the kids listening.
Eddie
Yeah. Sorry, guys.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Amy
Sorry.
Bobby Bones
Dang lobby bone show bonehead story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes us from Pennsylvania. A man called 911 told him, hey, I'd been kidnapped by five guys. They stuffed me in the truck in my Porsche, drove me out to the middle of nowhere and set it on fire. And luckily some strangers saved me before I only, you know, burned to death. I only got.
Bobby Bones
That's quite the elaborate story.
Eddie
Good story.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
I only have minor burns on my arm.
Bobby Bones
Wow.
Lunchbox
The only problem was there was cameras. They caught him lighting his Porsche on fire for the insurance.
Bobby Bones
His story was too detailed.
Amy
Golly.
Bobby Bones
The first thing that leads you to that being a lie is how detailed five guys stuffed. Why was he trying to get the money back he owed?
Lunchbox
He couldn't make the payments on the Porsche, so he was trying to get the insurance on it.
Amy
Oh, gotcha. That insurance man, like in a relationship.
Bobby Bones
What are you talking about?
Amy
Well, this just makes me think of a dateline I listened to the other day of a husband that basically threw his wife in the ocean.
Bobby Bones
Well, that was for life insurance. This is for. He owes money on a car payment.
Amy
I know, but like the things people will do for insurance.
Bobby Bones
This is a car payment.
Amy
No, but he wanted the insurance money.
Bobby Bones
He wanted to pay off off the car.
Amy
I know, but you, you, you. I hear you rational.
Bobby Bones
You're dark right now.
Amy
No, I'm not dark. I'm just going to be a little suspicious if I ever get married again. And we have insurance.
Eddie
That insurance money, man, makes you do crazy things.
Lunchbox
This guy.
Bobby Bones
It's car insurance.
Better Picks Announcer 2
It does.
Bobby Bones
Okay, Lunchbox. Thank you.
Lunchbox
I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.
Bobby Bones
All right. A voicemail from yesterday.
Caller with Ankle Surgery
I had had to have ankle surgery on both ankles. That is the worst for credit break. Not to freak you out, but if you think that you're going to dancing with the afterwards, you're definitely not, like putting it down and the blood rushing.
Lunchbox
Awful.
Caller with Ankle Surgery
And also get a Neely. You need a Neely, not crutches. It's going to make the whole thing so much better. Okay, bye.
Bobby Bones
A Neely is that thing you put your leg on like a little bit oh, yeah. I got too many stairs in my life, I guess. There's a house. I get stairs here coming into work. It's stair central. I don't think Neely's are good for stairs.
Amy
We have elevators here at least.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't use those. Oh, man.
Amy
But you might if you have a surgery.
Bobby Bones
No, situation. I'm a man. I got a surgery next week. I haven't decided if I'm gonna go back yet. A lot of people are saying I get a blood clot and die.
Amy
Moving the surgery. No, no, that's what you said.
Bobby Bones
I know.
Eddie
That's where you left us with.
Amy
Yeah. You were like, I'm gonna see if I can move it.
Bobby Bones
But I haven't seen yet. I've just been thinking about it, that's all.
Amy
Well, the best time to call is earlier. Like, the longer you wait, the less likely they're gonna be able to.
Bobby Bones
I understand the reasoning. I just haven't decided yet.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
What I want to do. Next one up.
Caller with Ankle Surgery
I just recently had foot surgery and had to travel from Montana to Denver. Just get one of those little knee scooters. You won't have to wait in line for security. They'll move you to the front, and they'll move you to the front of the plane. It was super sweet, and it was super easy.
Bobby Bones
Sounds like any one of those without.
Amy
A surgery sounds like you're good because.
Bobby Bones
You don't have to officially have to show them that you had a surgery. You just show up on one of those things.
Amy
So are you gonna be good or are you gonna get a blood clot and die? I'm confused.
Bobby Bones
I get a blood clot.
Amy
Can you fly or not? Fly? Like, she seemed fine.
Bobby Bones
I recorded an episode of that last word show. So probably gonna blood clot and die.
Amy
Famous last words.
