I. Will Bobby Be a Part of the ACMs?

Timestamp: [03:00] – [10:35]

In this segment, Bobby Bones delves into his ongoing relationship with the Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs). For the past few years, the ACMs have been held on Amazon in Dallas, with hosts Reba McEntire and Garth Brooks at the helm. Bobby expresses his feelings of being a "second string" presence, often working backstage and occasionally being thrown into live segments when the main hosts need assistance.

Key Points:

• Bobby's Role: Despite being more visible backstage, Bobby feels underappreciated compared to the main hosts.
• Desire for Recognition: He mentions, “I'm actually on camera more than the host is,” highlighting his active participation without the corresponding recognition.
• 60th ACMs in Dallas: With the 60th ACMs approaching, Bobby speculates about his involvement and contemplates taking a more prominent role.

II. Bobby's Bold Fashion Move: Texting Ronnie Dunn

Timestamp: [10:35] – [17:45]

Bobby shares a creative and humorous idea to stand out at the 60th ACMs by wearing Ronnie Dunn’s iconic 90s suits. Inspired by current Hollywood trends where celebrities wear vintage outfits for nostalgia, Bobby considers reaching out to Ronnie Dunn for a favor.

Notable Quotes:

• Bobby Bones: “I think that would be fun and funny if I wore, like, a Brooks and Dunn 90s tuxedo.”
• Morgan: “I think Ronnie's a perfect person. It would be cool too, because Texas used to look a little bit differently.”

Discussion Highlights:

• Suit Tailoring: Given Ronnie Dunn's stature (“He's over 6ft tall”), Bobby discusses the need for tailoring to ensure the suit fits appropriately.
• Texting Ronnie Dunn: Bobby attempts to contact Ronnie via text, joking about sending messages into space and anticipating Ronnie's response. Although Ronnie’s reply isn’t directly heard, the conversation remains light-hearted and filled with camaraderie among the team.
• Potential Outcomes: The team muses over Ronnie’s possible acceptance and the humor in Bobby showcasing Ronnie Dunn’s vintage attire on the red carpet.

III. Raymundo’s Fertility Journey: Getting His Swimmers Checked

Timestamp: [21:00] – [32:00]

The conversation shifts to a more personal topic as Raymundo discusses his recent experience getting a sperm count test at the Vanderbilt Clinic. This leads to an in-depth discussion about fertility treatments, surrogacy, and the associated costs.

Key Points:

• Sperm Analysis: Raymundo shares, “I doidled in a cup and got my sperm checked,” shedding light on the process of fertility evaluations.
• Surrogacy Costs: Eddie explains the financial implications, stating, “It costs around $100,000 to $200,000, including agency and legal fees.”
• Surrogate Arrangements: The hosts debate whether to use a professional surrogate or a family friend, weighing the pros and cons of each option.
• Emotional and Practical Considerations: Raymundo emphasizes the desire for the surrogate to be someone close, while also highlighting the logistical challenges, such as geographical distance.

Notable Quotes:

• Eddie: “It costs that much. So if you are to be a surrogate, there's a good chance it could be twins or triplets.”
• Raymundo: “She said, ‘Haha, sure,’ but I think she really means yes.”

Discussion Highlights:

• Practical Challenges: The team discusses the realities of surrogacy, including the extent of control over the surrogate’s lifestyle and the unpredictability of the process.
• Financial Responsibility: Concerns are raised about the high costs and the ethical implications of such arrangements.
• Personal Stories: Raymundo and Eddie share their personal journeys, providing listeners with a candid look into the complexities of fertility treatments.

IV. Listener Voicemails and Lighthearted Banter

Timestamp: [41:00] – [50:00]

Bobby engages with listener voicemails, sharing updates and amusing anecdotes from his friends and listeners. Highlights include:

• Raymundo's Turkey Trip: Raymundo humorously narrates a mix-up in communication about a potential trip to Turkey, leading to playful confusion among the hosts.

  Notable Quote:

  • Raymundo: “I have no idea. I just tried to...”

• Voice Assistant Shenanigans: Bobby attempts to interact with Siri live, leading to a humorous discussion about technology mishaps and voice assistant behaviors.

  Notable Quote:

  • Bobby Bones: “AI is 10 times the power of what Siri is. I'm nice to my AI.”

• Clint Black’s Text: Bobby mentions receiving a text from Clint Black, adding another layer of celebrity interaction to the episode.

V. Conclusion

The episode wraps up with Bobby reflecting on the day's discussions, reinforcing the bonds among the cast, and maintaining the show's signature blend of humor, personal stories, and engaging conversations.

[Mango]

That's right, Mango. We're talking animals.

[Will]

In a paper called, quote, Chickens prefer beautiful humans.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Will]

We're talking medical miracles.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go. Come on, Bobby. Bobby Bones transmitting across America.

[Raymundo]

Turn it.

[Bobby Bones]

This is about my own show. Let's go. So I got a question for you, and I don't know if I can pull it off or if even you think it would be a good idea or if even I'm invited yet. So factor all that in, okay?

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The last two years, maybe three years, the ACMs went to Amazon. So they do that on Amazon. And it's been in Dallas every year. I think it's back in Dallas this year. I'm not sure. And so I've always been second string. I'm on camera. I mean, actually, I'm actually on camera more than the host is, but I don't get the, like, I don't get the host, like, credit, and I don't get my picture. And it's not, like, hosted by Bobby, nor should it be. Cause it's Reba. It's been Reba and Garth every time. So I get it. I'm a loser compared to them, a winner compared to others, a loser compared to them. But I'm backstage and they throw to me constantly because artists are coming through and then it's a live show. So at times they throw to me because since something's live, something's not ready up front. So, like, go to Bobby. I can work live pretty easily because I don't freak out. So there we go. Well, this year it is the 60th. I'm not hosting it. Reba is. They've. It's already been announced, but it's a big deal. I haven't officially been invited back. I feel like I'm gonna be because they haven't told me I'm not. But that may be a weird way to look at it. So I should. I should ask. No.

[Amy Brown]

How do you ask?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, who do you ask?

[Amy Brown]

What do you think?

[Bobby Bones]

I text God.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Mr. ACM.

[Amy Brown]

How does he reply?

[Bobby Bones]

I just don't put two and just send it into the space.

[Lunchbox]

Who gets it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I text my manager, am I part of the acm? You'll see where the question's going. If he says no, there'll be no question because I'm out. Am I part of the ACM TV show again this year? Okay, we'll see what he says. I think I probably am. I think they like having me there. Not because of my star power, but because if something goes wrong, I can work on my feet pretty fast. So every year, I just wear, like, medium nice clothes. I think I wear a suit or something, you know, But I'm not the host, so I'm not glittered up, but I want to look good. So I do the thing this year, I was thinking, since it's the 60th, about calling Ronnie done and going, hey, do you have any suits or tuxes from, like, the 90s that I can wear, like old school? Because a lot of people do it on the red carpet now where they wear, like, Angelina Jolie's old dress. Like somebody new nowadays. Like, Sydney Sweeney did it this last week. And I think that would be fun and funny if I wore, like, a Brooks and Dunn 90s tuxedo. Just had it, like, tailored.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. So from Ronnie, like, it'd be from his closet.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be his specifically that he wore at one point on the show.

[Amy Brown]

Are y'all the same?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, I said I would have a tailor.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, you. Sorry, I missed the tailored part.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so you have to.

[Lunchbox]

Cause he's really tall.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we're good.

[Amy Brown]

No, I was just thinking, like, literally over 6ft tall.

[Bobby Bones]

I think his legs.

[Raymundo]

No, he's a big guy.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's.

[Amy Brown]

His legs are long again.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have it tailored. I don't even know if he would let me. I don't even know if he has it.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I think it's okay if you're. A lot of people are shorter than.

[Bobby Bones]

Him, but I was thinking that would be kind of funny to do since in Hollywood they've been doing that for the last couple of years with fam dresses.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That. To do, like, an old 90s. I don't feel like Amy's feeling me.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I do. I am. I. Why? Why? Why do you feel like I'm not?

[Bobby Bones]

Because the whole time you're like. I don't know. I feel like Eddie's mean, too.

[Lunchbox]

I'm not mean.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me go to Morgan. Morgan, you see that? You see all these actors? It's only actresses, too, by the way. Here's me again. Being feminine. I've never seen a dude do this. Tons of actresses. Do you think this would be fun, funny, novel? What do you think?

[Morgan]

No, I think it's a great idea. It's on trend. It's what's happening right now. And it would be different because no other guys have tried to do it yet. They probably just haven't honestly thought of it. And I think you should. I think Ronnie's a perfect person. It. It would be cool, too, because Texas used to look a little bit differently. So you could tell that it was old school versus just being like, the same tux that's been around for decades.

[Bobby Bones]

And also, I wonder if he even keeps stuff like that, because dudes don't really.

[Amy Brown]

That was my next question. But I bet he does.

[Morgan]

Well, I think a lot of those dresses have been coming from places like pop culture type museums. I wonder if, like, Country Music hall of Fame has a.

[Amy Brown]

Well, they would give them back to them, right?

[Morgan]

Yeah, they give them back after the dress is worn.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And even with the Country Music hall of Fame or even the Opry Times, because they've said if the Opry's like, hey, you can borrow. You know the suits like Porter Wagner used to wear? Yeah, those. They have a name. It's a. It's a Mexican guy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What's his name?

[Bobby Bones]

You should know, you're Mexican.

[Lunchbox]

It's like Emilio or like, Manuel. Manuel.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, don't just say names.

[Lunchbox]

No, it's Manuel.

[Bobby Bones]

It's racist if you're just saying Mexican names.

[Lunchbox]

I hope it's Manuel.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it is. It's. Yes, right, but you can do that. I can't. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. I don't know what year this is with Ronnie Dunn's outfit, but I'm looking at it, and it looks so good.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, and he has the frosty tips.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy Brown]

And it's like this brown velvet co.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll text him right now.

[Amy Brown]

This is.

[Bobby Bones]

He's. It's a. It's anything after, like, 5pm Wait, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5am he'll be good. Okay, let's see. Hey, man. No, I'm not gonna do. Hey, man. What's funny about Ronnie is he signs his text messages.

[Lunchbox]

Love that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. At the end, he's like, dash rd.

[Lunchbox]

It's like, we know it's you.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's see. Are you going to the ACMs this year in Dallas? I'm just gonna do this 60th. I guess it's not 60th anniversary. Just 60th show. Because 60 anniversary. Is it called the 60th anniversary? That'd be called. I think it is. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

The 60 years of the ACM.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I don't know that they officially call that by the name, but I think it still would be that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm just walking him into it. Are you going to the ACMs this year in Dallas? 60th anniversary show. If he says no, I'll just ask Clem Black.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Which, by the way, I text him yesterday. Never text me back.

[Amy Brown]

Would you be interested in wearing what he wore when he won an ACM award in 1994?

[Bobby Bones]

I'd be interested in wearing anything that looks old school and fun.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Because this looks like you.

[Bobby Bones]

And he may also go, why do you want to wear my clothes?

[Amy Brown]

Because.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I'll be like, do you have the underwear, too? I want to fully, fully be in.

[Amy Brown]

He wears a lot of denim, like jeans with a belt buckle and then a nice top and a sports coat. Like, he wears a lot of that at the awards.

[Lunchbox]

When do you reveal that it's Ronnie Dunn's? When I walk the red carpet, you just tell them.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I normally don't like walking the red carpet. I hate the red carpet. But I would walk it in this just so I can make sure to get it out there.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I post it on my socials, and I'd say it the first break when they usually come to me two or three times an I don't even know if I'm on the show yet. But yeah, it would be when.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But I thought it was a funny idea. But I was also, like, half asleep. And some of those ideas when I wake up, not always still funny or interesting, but I just. Where they had the Oscars the other night, I saw a couple people doing that with old dresses from back in the day from like 70 or maybe 80s and 90s.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's been kind of a trend. Okay, well, you didn't make me feel great about it, everybody. But I feel okay enough about it to pursue it.

[Amy Brown]

But now that we're looking at it, we're understanding, and I think that there's some really good options that I'm looking at Ronnie's outfits. It's just a matter of what's he gonna have.

[Lunchbox]

And Amy just wanted to make sure that it fit you.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. She's really giving me the business. She was like, you're not tall.

[Amy Brown]

I thought that we were.

[Bobby Bones]

You're ugly. And not tall.

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

You're short. You call me Mushroom Man.

[Amy Brown]

No, he's Mushroom.

[Bobby Bones]

This is my head. This is my head.

[Amy Brown]

I call this.

[Bobby Bones]

You call me Little Mushroom. Barely grows out of the grass.

[Amy Brown]

Well, no wonder you feel not supportive, because. But that's your own brain.

[Lunchbox]

His brain just changes your world.

[Bobby Bones]

Everything I heard. No, we got Smurf. Mr. Smurfman. Papa Smurf. We got it.

[Amy Brown]

Roll the tape back, Ray, because I didn't say any of this. All I said is, you're gonna have to.

[Bobby Bones]

He plays it back and I hear the same thing again. There it is again. There it is.

[Lunchbox]

Mushroom.

[Bobby Bones]

Tiny Guy. Micro Machine. How'd you get here? Your Micro Machine. Remember Micro Machines?

[Raymundo]

Those were awesome. That guy talked so fast.

[Bobby Bones]

You remember the commercials out?

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There were tiny, tiny cars. Like, if I were to do a pinch, they were that small.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you would buy them and then lose them.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Because they were so small.

[Amy Brown]

Tiny.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you confused at that?

[Morgan]

Yeah. So they were cars. They were like hot. Like the Hot Wheels. Before Hot Wheels.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

After.

[Bobby Bones]

Not before Hot Wheels. During Hot Wheels. But yes, they were created way after, but they were. They were called Micro Machines and they were this big.

[Morgan]

So they were a dude's version of Polly Pocket.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Smaller, even small is Polly Pocket.

[Morgan]

Polly Pocket was like. They were miniature and, like, they were like the miniature version of Barbie. So that was your guys's Polly Pocket.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you ever have the little player of music? I don't remember what the name was. And then you put the little slide tape in it. But it was small and you carried it around, man. I was like a hit. Clips. I think it had a name about its size as well. I got mine taken away at church. Like, I had saved up to buy one. And then I remember Shelby. It was our. It wasn't. I wasn't quite youth. Younger than that. He took it away from me at church. I didn't get it back for, like, three weeks.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay. You got it back. I was gonna say. Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

It was so small that you could it in, like, a palm of your hand. And I had. I think we're alone now. I said. Because there was only like, seven or eight songs.

[Lunchbox]

Debbie Gibson. Who is that?

[Bobby Bones]

Tiffany.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, Tiffany. Tiffany.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't seem to be anyone around. Pocket Rockers, maybe. I think it was. It's a pocket rocker.

[Lunchbox]

And so. So what, whatever the song was, was that in just one little cartridge?

[Bobby Bones]

Mike, will you look at a cartridge? Because there are. The cartridges look like to be about if you do a pinch. But Then you open it up. That's the full size of the cartridge. And it looks like there were a couple of songs on it, but it was so small. Wow.

[Lunchbox]

I don't remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I got one.

[Amy Brown]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

I had one and then lost it from church for three weeks. I thought a little aggressive. Take it for three weeks. You know my dad.

[Lunchbox]

Big time.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You know my dad, like, usually they take. Well, now nowadays they take it away and they give it to you at the end of church.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think I was really playing it that loud. I wasn't playing it in the sermon for sure. Okay.

[Amy Brown]

Fisher Price pocket rocker.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not true.

[Amy Brown]

What? What is he saying?

[Lunchbox]

Ronnie?

[Amy Brown]

What is he saying? Who?

[Bobby Bones]

I can't say what he's saying because it has nothing to do with what I asked. But it's something.

[Amy Brown]

Is it your manager or Ronnie?

[Bobby Bones]

It's Ronnie.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

He responded to something completely different.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not different, but it's just not true. So I do not want to say it.

[Amy Brown]

Well, can we read it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. But I can't say it because it would.

[Amy Brown]

So I can come over there and read it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Let me say this, though. I want to wear one of your old 90s suits if I'm.

[Lunchbox]

Do I have one?

[Bobby Bones]

Part of the TV show again, doing backstage. Do you have any left? This is. So I said, are you going to the ACMs this year, Dallas? He says, that's not. That's not true. He's not. He's messing with me. I'm telling. I'm telling you. He's messing with me.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I can't say it. Cause it's not true.

[Amy Brown]

I thought.

[Bobby Bones]

But, well, so I said, I want to wear one of your old 90s suits if I'm part of the TV show again doing backstage. Do you have any left? So we'll see what he says.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be hilarious. It's just. Life is hilarious at this point that I'm texting one of the musical artists I listened to the most as a kid going, can I wear your clothes?

[Lunchbox]

But this is also the same week that you, like, played with Clint Black.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true. I didn't wear his clothes.

[Lunchbox]

You didn't. But, I mean, it is a crazy life. Crazy, crazy life that we live.

[Bobby Bones]

He says, I have things. Yes. Boom. That's.

[Lunchbox]

That's crazy. He still has that stuff.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Where does he keep it? In, like, a storage unit?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Probably like some temp controlled, you know, because you.

[Raymundo]

Or a warehouse, probably Brooks and Dunn.

[Bobby Bones]

Has a bunch of stuff in a warehouse climate.

[Amy Brown]

I think they call it climate control.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I've seen this.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you.

[Morgan]

Well, I mean, like, did your guys dads not ever like, keep all their like suits and tuxes and stuff in.

[Raymundo]

A room my dad didn't consider a tuck?

[Amy Brown]

I was nine. Okay. That took dark.

[Bobby Bones]

That was so dark.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Just kidding.

[Morgan]

I didn't ask you on purpose, Bobby.

[Raymundo]

Okay.

[Morgan]

You were texting Ronnie.

[Amy Brown]

Bobby, did your dad keep his tuxes.

[Raymundo]

In his suit at home?

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting. You ask. Want to get away. No, no comment. That's fun. If he had like a fun, that would be fun, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Even if they made me change, like, I could walk the red carpet in it and do one and then change into like some. But I don't want to change. I just think that'd be funny to wear a Ronnie Ronnie suit. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Did you ask him if that thing was true?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not asking.

[Amy Brown]

Did you just ignore it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy Brown]

You don't double tap it with a question mark?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting.

[Amy Brown]

They're like, say what?

[Bobby Bones]

I kissy. No, no, because there's no. There can't. Because it can't possibly be true.

[Amy Brown]

Does. I don't want to say anything.

[Lunchbox]

That's probably.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, that's probably the best. Not. Just keep it at that.

[Amy Brown]

I have questions. But then it might lead to.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. It can't. It can't. It.

[Amy Brown]

But what if he means what you typically do? Because that is a.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, but that's a. That's a similar.

[Bobby Bones]

He sent me a picture of a jacket.

[Amy Brown]

Which one is it? The peach one?

[Bobby Bones]

No, this has. It's old school with like flowers and stuff on it. I don't know. You probably can't see it.

[Lunchbox]

That's pretty cool.

[Amy Brown]

I can see it.

[Lunchbox]

It's cool. Yeah, it's kind of subtle.

[Bobby Bones]

He's gonna start.

[Lunchbox]

Flowers are subtle.

[Amy Brown]

But whatever it is. What I'm thinking is I wouldn't. What would be cool? No, I'm not. I'm talking about the clothes. I'm not talking about. The text is like where we need a picture of him in it. So that way you have. You can do the side by side.

[Bobby Bones]

You take that picture with a picture he framed with a picture in it from back in the day. Because I want to wear and do side by side. Hilarious. Okay, we'll get. We'll get to more of that later. Just thought we'd start with that. Everybody feel good about that bit?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank God, because I was Waking up this morning going, I wonder if this is the stupidest thing ever. I do that sometimes with song ideas. I had a song I did this morning I was writing called canada, you're my best friend.

[Lunchbox]

Interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Mm.

[Lunchbox]

Because I feel like that could be funny, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was funny when I was half asleep about. I just want to make sure Canada knows, like, we're still here for you. Like, we still want you to be our best friend regardless of what happens. Out. You got a lot of cool stuff. There was a fight between a bald eagle and a Canada goose.

[Lunchbox]

See that picture? Hey, the bald eagle won, though, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like, I hear you. Sometimes best friends fight. But candidates, you're still my friend.

[Lunchbox]

And I read, too, that the. The goose was. The Canadian goose was kind of injured already.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course, that's.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, go figure.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a better metaphor than that. Okay, thank you.

A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're going to get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

[Will]

Then it's a good thing. Our podcast, Part Time Genius is counting down the 25 greatest science ideas from the past 25 years.

[Mango]

That's right, Mango. We're talking animals in a paper called.

[Will]

Quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans.

[Bobby Bones]

This was actually the title of the paper.

[Will]

They all discovered that, much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Will]

We're talking medical miracles.

[Mango]

He's an endocrinologist who found a way to stimulate insulin producing cells using, wait for it. The saliva of a Gila monster.

[Will]

There's no way to make that not sound crazy.

[Mango]

So listen to the Part Time Genius countdown of the 25 greatest science ideas of the past 25 years, starting Monday, March 3rd on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go to Bobby Bones. Show Bobby Bones. Raymundo went and got his swimmers checked. You.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

Where they've been?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, sorry. Sperm.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They've been somewhere though, right?

[Raymundo]

At the Vanderbilt Clinic.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's nuts.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, he got those. He didn't get his. Oh, no, those are her. He has embryos or her eggs are frozen.

[Eddie]

Yeah, her eggs are.

[Bobby Bones]

He doesn't have embryos. Okay, so he's a guy.

[Amy Brown]

I know, but sometimes when he. So his wife froze her eggs and sometimes he talks to them like they're already children.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but swimmers are not embryos.

[Lunchbox]

Got it, got it, got it.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, so neither of you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on, guys. Here's the thing, guys. Ray diddled in a cup and got his sperm checked.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Amy Brown]

His sperm count.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, well, sort of. There's different. There's motility. There's all kinds of stuff on it.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, like how fast there's.

[Bobby Bones]

How many are. There's like, don't even get me started. I had to learn all this crap.

[Amy Brown]

Did you test yours?

[Bobby Bones]

No. I'm scared, too.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I've never tested. I bet there's a lot of men that have a fear of mine.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I think mine's gonna be too good. It's gonna be like. What is that? Superhero.

[Lunchbox]

Olympic swimmer.

[Raymundo]

Daddy, you don't need to test yours. You had kids.

[Lunchbox]

No, I get it, but I've never ever done it, even before I had kids.

[Amy Brown]

Y'all just wanna test for a competition?

[Bobby Bones]

That would be hilarious. I'm in. I've never had to test them because we never haven't been to that phase, but I would.

[Mango]

Hey, awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Best burn wins.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Mine are a little older, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Or what if we bit now? Ray, I'm gonna come back to you. What if we do this bit? We take all of our sperm, we mix it all together, shake it all up, right? And. And it's like, where are you going with this super sperm? Then we find a listener who takes the implant, and then we don't know whose it is, and the baby's born. We look at it and go.

[Amy Brown]

It's like.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, I bet that's lunchbox.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, it's like baby roulette. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's the dumbest thing you've ever said.

[Raymundo]

As long as we're not financially responsible.

[Bobby Bones]

But you wouldn't be unless.

[Raymundo]

Oh, man, that would suck.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy Brown]

They're like credit card roulette.

[Lunchbox]

He can't touch his shoulders.

[Bobby Bones]

It's lunchbox. Eddie's comes out Mexican flag.

[Amy Brown]

Bobby's comes out with a little massive.

[Bobby Bones]

Head that just ripped out of her whole body. Okay, Ray, over to you.

[Eddie]

Yes, that's it. They're good.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, hold on, though.

[Amy Brown]

Whoa.

[Lunchbox]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not really. But this is big now. Why you did it go. Why?

[Eddie]

It's the next step in the process. Because she's got her eggs that are frozen. We're paying decent amount of money every year. And so then the doctor said, well, he should actually get his sperm checked just to make sure it is okay. But we haven't created the embryo yet.

[Bobby Bones]

So you will have to take your sperm and implant it into her egg and then have.

[Eddie]

But you'd also have to have a surrogate. And so they talked.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the part I was forgotten.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they did that process with us and they said, well, you got to have a surrogate lined up, and we can do it through the hospital, which is pretty pricey. Or you can have a family friend. So we just discussed that stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

What's it cost?

[Eddie]

100 grand.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Lunchbox]

For what? All that surrogate.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, and then death. To provide, like, food and. No, I'm serious. Like, did. To pay for them, like, eat and stuff.

[Eddie]

I believe it's the. The hundred grand pays for their housing and stuff like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, how much control would you get on what they ate and lifestyle?

[Eddie]

You really don't.

[Bobby Bones]

So you walk over, like, smoking, having a beer.

[Eddie]

I would almost. The way I kind of understood it is you have more control if it's one of your family members or something.

[Lunchbox]

But I thought you were going to do your sister. Does she. She's not doing that.

[Eddie]

She lives 2,000 miles from here.

[Bobby Bones]

Good point.

[Eddie]

And she's already got two kids and a business. It just seems like a big ask.

[Bobby Bones]

The distance thing would be tough because she has a life there that she'd have to live to come here. Not that she wouldn't do it so that you guys have to go there.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Or she'd have to come here.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So just.

[Eddie]

It gave us answers that we need. We need to make sure that I was good, which I am. And then. Okay. It costs that much. All right, interesting.

[Raymundo]

I'm 100 grand. My wife will do it.

[Lunchbox]

That's not good.

[Amy Brown]

Are you volunteering her?

[Raymundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Feels like that's not fair.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, yeah, no, she'd be down for 100,000.

[Lunchbox]

What about Morgan? Would.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, dude, he'd call your kid, his kid too. He'd be like. He'd be like, I'm the dad, you know, anytime you guys got into it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I also think that it's one of those where you maybe you put a couple more eggs in there. And so it could be doubles, it could be twins, it could be triplets. So it depends also how many eggs you put into the woman.

[Bobby Bones]

So does it go up? Yeah, I mean, 100 grand each time, or does it is like 50 for the next, 25 for the third?

[Eddie]

Well, I'm just warning if you are to be a surrogate, and there are. There's a good chance it could be triplets, it could be twins. You just never know how many you're gonna take.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think your wife, for a hundred thousand dollars, would have their baby lunchbox? Do you think that.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I'll text her right now.

[Bobby Bones]

We believe you text her.

[Raymundo]

Hey, for 100k, for 100k, would you have a baby?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. Be a surrogate. Don't. Don't say have raised baby, because that feels a bit different. She text back. I've been. I thought Ray's cute forever. I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

She wants to do it.

[Raymundo]

There we go. I'll test her. Hey, for 100k, would you be a surrogate for Ray?

[Bobby Bones]

And they. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

So, Ray, do you like. Is it one shot? Like when you try it? Like, they do one egg and then they let it rip. And then if that doesn't work, they do it again. Because you only have 24 chances, right? You have 24 eggs.

[Raymundo]

Right.

[Eddie]

And that's the Reason we did that many eggs so that you would hope that one of them would take and you could. Then a person could be pregnant. But there's also the chance that all of them could take.

[Raymundo]

She said ha ha ha, sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but that doesn't mean she just said that. Oh sure, me possibly yes, but hahaha sure means she thinks you're kidding with a possibility of a yes.

[Amy Brown]

Like it could be like hahaha sure. Okay, like that.

[Raymundo]

Okay, no joking aside.

[Amy Brown]

No, seriously, in all seriousness, you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Say no joking aside. You say joking aside. Everything's confusing. She goes, yeah, sure, no joking aside. She's like, I don't see it. So yeah, Joe.

[Raymundo]

Oh, I said oaking aside. I left the J off man. My chat skills are getting weak. Guys need to give me more time over here.

[Bobby Bones]

Is she. I'm assuming she's like looking at her phone or she on.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, she just texted me something.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, bubble.

[Raymundo]

No, no bubbles now. Bubbles don't show up on the computer, do they?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah they do.

[Raymundo]

They do. No, no bubble.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well you let us know.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I'll let you know because I.

[Bobby Bones]

Got, I got a second. Anytime. It's coming through.

[Lunchbox]

So the swimmers are good.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't look at me. Him.

[Lunchbox]

Swimmers are good.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I think if you guys little contest that you're gonna do, there really wasn't that many statistics about it. It really just said good. And I asked my wife, I go on the portal.

[Bobby Bones]

Where did you go?

[Eddie]

Vandy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, not like Waffle House.

[Raymundo]

I got a question.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, good.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, this might be an Eddie question.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

But why? How do they get the swimmers out of Ray to put in the egg? They have to do surgery or does it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, in a cup.

[Raymundo]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, you whack off into a cup or whatever it is.

[Lunchbox]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Raymundo]

Oh, or okay, I know that.

[Lunchbox]

I thought as soon as they hit.

[Amy Brown]

Care, they're like your partner can help you.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

What? Amy, don't they like send you to a room?

[Amy Brown]

You can take the cup home with you as well.

[Lunchbox]

So Ray did this, but still you.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, no, I remember when they're fertilizing the egg, dude, like when they're. They're gonna make that like does he go into the clinic and they surgically remove it?

[Amy Brown]

No, they haven't.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray has to whack into a petri dish while they look.

[Raymundo]

Oh my gosh, I had no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

My doctors. Gather round.

[Lunchbox]

Dude, that's so awkward.

[Bobby Bones]

I would imagine. And I've had friends and even some now that are Going through fertility treatments, which is very. It's hard on the body. I didn't know much about it. I have two friends doing it right now. It doesn't matter who they are. But two friends also, I don't. And one of my buddies, like, shares his, like, sperm results with me. He's like, this is this. I know a little bit about it. I haven't done mine because I don't want to be less than him, if I'm being honest.

[Lunchbox]

And that has more stats. You've seen more stats on that.

[Bobby Bones]

I just know what a couple of things mean that I didn't know. And he's like, you should get yours checked. And I'm like, for what? Recreation? Yeah, like I'm good. And then I don't want mine to come back like puny. It doesn't even say good. It comes back puny.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but when you did your test results for your biological age.

[Bobby Bones]

Crushed it.

[Amy Brown]

It said you were 29.

[Bobby Bones]

28 or 29. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Whatever it was, you just got younger.

[Bobby Bones]

Whatever it was. I don't know. I don't know. It was good. We got a response. So your question lunchbox was how do they get it out of Ray into the egg?

[Raymundo]

Yeah. I didn't realize they had to do that. I thought it was like surgery. But he has to go.

[Bobby Bones]

They have to surgically cut into his wiener? No, into his ball.

[Amy Brown]

You ejaculate.

[Bobby Bones]

Atta girl.

[Amy Brown]

That's the scientific term.

[Raymundo]

I had no idea that that's how it worked. I mean, that was my Eddie question.

[Lunchbox]

Why is it an ed.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think anybody could have answered that. Like in a sperm bank, if somebody goes to the. No, I know a sperm bank, but same thing, right? They have to use that sperm to put it in something.

[Raymundo]

Oh, I didn't think about that.

[Amy Brown]

They don't surgically go into every person that wants.

[Raymundo]

Never thought about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, sorry.

[Raymundo]

Thanks for. Thanks for answering my Eddie question.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I don't understand. And what is your wife saying, Eddie?

[Amy Brown]

You're just older and wiser.

[Raymundo]

My wife got all serious.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course. It's not a joke.

[Raymundo]

Of course.

[Bobby Bones]

When anybody says oaking aside, you know, be serious.

[Raymundo]

Like, she got like all emotional.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so.

[Raymundo]

Well, that's a whole lot of money. Sounds nice, but I'd want to talk to you about it. And it feels like if I was going to carry a child again, it should be ours.

[Amy Brown]

Aw. Yeah, I was like, dang, I kind.

[Lunchbox]

Of expected that answer.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey. Haha. Sure doesn't feel the same, does It.

[Raymundo]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, that's why you can't oaking. You can't do a lot of oaking around here.

[Lunchbox]

Gets you every time.

[Amy Brown]

$100,000 is really high. Like, that's on the high end of a surrogate. I don't know.

[Eddie]

I mean, they told us that with a straight face and we're like, seriously?

[Bobby Bones]

Like.

[Eddie]

And they go, oh, we offer payment plans. Yeah, but you still have to pay $100,000.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but I've. I mean, listeners have offered.

[Eddie]

That's what I'm saying. There's other routes to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I'm a collar 10. Caller 10. Carry our baby. Okay, I'll look this up. Typical gestational surgery. Surrogacy. Sorry. Surrogacy costs can vary widely with the average cost of a first attempt carrier pregnancy averaging 125,000 to $200,000, including everything from the agency and legal fees. Things have gone wrong to inflation. Eggs. Eggs. And this.

[Amy Brown]

And, sorry, guessing, like actual chicken eggs.

[Lunchbox]

Yes, they're expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

No, these eggs too. All eggs. All eggs have gone up.

[Amy Brown]

I feel like if you're paying that much. Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you should just buy a kid. No, I mean, basically you're paying that much.

[Amy Brown]

No dark web for that much. I mean, there's got to be different. Oh, like, you know what you offer. Like, you know, I would want to monitor everything they're doing. You can't.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is what I was saying. Like, is that part of it?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, yeah. Like, you need to eat this way and walk and.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. You want full ownership.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Because if you're doing Amy over there, that.

[Lunchbox]

And then, not to mention, like, it's just expensive having a kid. Like, raising a kid.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, makes them go to bed. You're ground at 9pm Bedtime.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, good. Sleep is. Well, because this is your job. Like, your job.

[Lunchbox]

You're getting paid to do this.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, what if they were to. Wanted to work while they're doing it? What do they.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know about that. Yeah, if I'm paying you $100,000, they.

[Bobby Bones]

Might lose their job.

[Amy Brown]

Are you on your feet?

[Bobby Bones]

Actually, yes, they are. They are a walking champion.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, that could be good, though.

[Lunchbox]

They have too much power, though, because they. What, are they going to quit? They can't quit their job. They're like, what are you going to do about it? I have your baby inside me.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, good point.

[Lunchbox]

What are you going to do?

[Raymundo]

Are you allowed to tell me they can't go on vacation too? Like, is that in the Rules like, oh, sorry, you can't go to this. What if they want to go to the club?

[Amy Brown]

Joyous moments are okay.

[Bobby Bones]

They want to go to Aldean's, let them go to Aldine's tomorrow.

[Amy Brown]

They can experience joy. I just would rather them not experience anything traumatic.

[Bobby Bones]

Too much joy. Amy's like, they can experience joy, but not too much. There's a limit.

[Amy Brown]

It's like I need feel good chemicals released, not stress. Stress chemicals. Because that happens in utero. Like you. If you're a stressed out during your pregnancy, it can make your baby stressed.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Second best Nirvana album.

[Lunchbox]

In Utero. That was the name of the album.

[Amy Brown]

Is that the one with the baby in the water?

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. No, that's. Never mind.

[Lunchbox]

What was that? A pregnant lady. What was that cover In Utero? I think it was a uterus.

[Amy Brown]

What was the theme of that album?

[Bobby Bones]

Who? Nothing. A name.

[Amy Brown]

There's an interesting name.

[Bobby Bones]

They thought like let me get in Kurt Cobain's headspace In Utero. Maybe when it was the album was being made, they didn't know what it was. And here's the birth of it. It was all in new to. I don't know. I'm just making.

[Amy Brown]

That could be it. See, I went like the songs about.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Amy Brown]

Something. But I guess, yeah. The making of an album.

[Bobby Bones]

The Nirvana album In Utero reflects themes of birth, death and vulnerability with lyrics delving deep into emotional states, personal struggles and societal critiques, as well as a title taking from a poem by Courtney Love. So basically the poem by Courtney Love.

[Lunchbox]

Amy, did you know that Kurt Cobain's.

[Amy Brown]

And Courtney.

[Bobby Bones]

No. No, she didn't know. She yelled yes before you even got let her answer.

[Amy Brown]

Amy, I know exactly what he was gonna say. I'm psychic.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the answer?

[Amy Brown]

He was gonna say, did you know their daughter Coco.

[Bobby Bones]

Not her name.

[Lunchbox]

Not Coco Blue.

[Bobby Bones]

Not her name.

[Amy Brown]

Coco Blue.

[Bobby Bones]

Frances Bean.

[Amy Brown]

Francis Bean. Coco Blue.

[Bobby Bones]

Francis.

[Amy Brown]

Ben. Did I know that she is What?

[Bobby Bones]

Finish. Don't say it. Don't say it. Come on.

[Lunchbox]

Don't Google anything. Stop. Put your phone down.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

If you wanted on TikTok.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Amy Brown]

Coming out with an album.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Can I guess what I would say that I'd like to guess. And also I didn't interrupt, but I would like to guess what you were going to say. Go ahead.

[Lunchbox]

Go ahead.

[Amy Brown]

Sometimes I get a little excited.

[Lunchbox]

Well, then go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

That's one term for it. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

And I just start talking. Go ahead. I don't know what he was going to say. I actually have no Idea. And I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

And he didn't even say about.

[Amy Brown]

I thought he was going to say. Did you know that Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were married?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, if I were just guessing yet, even if I knew what you were going to say, I wouldn't jump in and interrupt your flow.

[Amy Brown]

Of course not.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're providing entertainment and I want everybody to experience it. But if I were guessing, I would think you would say, did you know that Francis is married to Tony Hawk's son, the skater, and they have a kid, and that kid's grandpa's are Tony Hawk and Kurt Cobain?

[Lunchbox]

That's exactly what I was going to say.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Well, what do you think? What do you think?

[Amy Brown]

Hi. I'm sorry I interrupted.

[Bobby Bones]

We are, too.

[Amy Brown]

That was cool, though. Yeah. You're just doing entertainment and I interrupted it.

[Raymundo]

Well, you provided us with some entertainment now.

[Amy Brown]

I know I'll know that for if I ever get that in trivia.

[Bobby Bones]

What is it? Say it back.

[Amy Brown]

Francis Bean married Tony Hawk's son. And their kid, their grandpa's, are Tony Hawk and Kurt Cobain.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Lunchbox]

Got it.

[Amy Brown]

Thank you.

[Lunchbox]

A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're going to get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.

[Will]

Hey, Will, do you ever get overwhelmed by how much science happens these days?

[Mango]

Constantly. I'm like, ah, there's so much science, I can't keep track of it all.

[Will]

Then it's a good thing. Our podcast, Part Time Genius is counting down the 25 greatest science ideas from the past 25 years.

[Mango]

That's right, Mango. We're talking animals in a paper called.

[Will]

Quote, chickens prefer beautiful humans.

[Bobby Bones]

This was actually the title of the paper.

[Will]

They all discovered that, much like humans, chickens are attracted to symmetrical faces.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Will]

We're talking medical miracles.

[Mango]

He's an endocrinologist who found a way to stimulate insulin producing cells using, wait for it, the saliva of a Gila monster.

[Will]

There's no way to make that not sound crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie asked me a question, Bobby.

[Raymundo]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, okay, got it.

[Amy Brown]

Y'all don't have. This is actually part of adhd. Did you know that? Speaking impulsively or trying to anticipate what the person is gonna say and then speaking it like I said yes in my head and then I said it out loud.

[Bobby Bones]

I've told y' another part of ADHD is taking medicine.

[Amy Brown]

I don't want to medicate.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but medicine, I don't think medicine's bad.

[Amy Brown]

I don't either, but it's not for me.

[Raymundo]

Also, Amy, you may get that from when you. Because you have kids and they ask a lot of questions and you get tired of the question, so you try to anticipate the question and cut it off at the path. I do it all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, interesting you said that. Cut it off at the path because that is not correct.

[Lunchbox]

What are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

I believe it is cut it off at the path.

[Lunchbox]

That sounds right.

[Bobby Bones]

Could be wrong.

[Raymundo]

What is pass? Why would you cut it off at a pass?

[Lunchbox]

Why would you cut anything off?

[Amy Brown]

Is it like a ball being passed or the pass, like on a highway pass?

[Bobby Bones]

Like a way to Get.

[Amy Brown]

It's like through the mountain. The mountain pass.

[Bobby Bones]

You asked a question and I didn't get to answer it because you started answering the question for me to answer, I'm guessing.

[Amy Brown]

I'll shut up.

[Bobby Bones]

Cut it off at the pass. What do you think it means, though, if you were to identify? Because it is pass. It is pass.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. You cut it off at the pass. So right when you get to the pass, you don't even need to go through it because you already cut it off.

[Lunchbox]

Is it P A, S S or P A, S, T?

[Bobby Bones]

P A, S, S, P U, S.

[Amy Brown]

S, P, S.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Cut it off at the past. The phrase rooted in imagery of Western film suggests a strategic and decisive action to block someone's progress, often at a narrow point or bottleneck. Example, we need to head them off at the pass before they reach the city. Now, because so many people have said it wrong, as in path, when someone says path, people know what that means. It's very similar to nip it in the bud. It's not nip it in the butt, it's nip it in the bud. But so many people have said. But you just hear it and go, oh, okay, I got it. But that's what it is. But do not try cut them off at the puss.

[Lunchbox]

Not the same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Not the same thing.

[Amy Brown]

So bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, it's a pussycat. It's a cat.

[Amy Brown]

I. I don't. I think. I. I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

You can get there. Come on, fight it, Fight it.

[Amy Brown]

I think.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't.

[Amy Brown]

That medication serves people well. For me, it did to a point where I was gonna have to increase again. And I don't want to keep increasing for the rest of my life. So I just.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel you.

[Amy Brown]

I just cut it off at the pass. I nip it in the bud, and I just stop taking it.

[Lunchbox]

I did see a cool, like, tick tock video where they were like. It was like a kid, and it's like they weren't saying anything, but there was a narration behind it saying, like, I know. I don't pay attention to you. And on the bottom it said, this is an ADHD child. And they're like, I know. I forget what you tell me. I know. Like, and it was naming everything that my kids do. And I was like, oh, my gosh, this is so sad.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, that's a kid. It doesn't have to be a kid with ADHD or adhd, but.

[Lunchbox]

Well, according to the video, all my kids have adhd.

[Bobby Bones]

I think everybody in this room has it then if that's the situation. I talk all the time. Nobody gives a crap, pays attention. Okay, let me do a couple voicemails. Number one, please. Raymondo.

[Lunchbox]

Just left the Million Dollar show. You guys were awesome. Eddie still rocks. Training our mod had so much energy. That was awesome. Natalie Stovall did great. But the best part of the night, that reunion with Old Town is to work. Way to go, Bobby. Love it.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I put the video up of me and the old guys getting back together to my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones. If you want to see that, give me number. Give me the third one. It's the last one. I absolutely love Morgan's show on the weekend, but why is her voice so different than when she's on the big show and especially when Abby's on? Like, I love all the shows and I absolutely love Morgan, but I'm just so curious as to why her voice sounds so different. Maybe Morgan could explain that. Tell me. Maybe I'm hearing something wrong. I don't know. Yeah, let me know, please. Thank you for the voicemail. Before I go to Morgan, one of the things that happens, I don't know if this is it, but one of the things that happens, even accidentally sometimes, you hit that button that goes 0.75 speed.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I've done that before where I'm like, man, Dan Patrick sounds weird today, you know, in sport. And then I realized, or I've sped it. He's like, yeah, it's 45. So sometimes that just happens. But I don't know about Morgan's voice on this. Is there a different voice you use?

[Morgan]

I don't think so. If there is, I am. It's unbeknownst to me. I have no idea what's happening. I do know that sometimes when I get super comfortable with somebody more of my kind of, I'm just more. I'm not as proper English in talking. I'm kind of more slang talking, if you will. So maybe that's something. I've noticed that about myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a voice thing.

[Morgan]

No, no. But I don't know if maybe that just my speech then sounds a little bit differently.

[Lunchbox]

It's like, remember when she interviewed Lainey Wilson and she turned.

[Raymundo]

She turned my favorite song of the year.

[Bobby Bones]

Or like, Morgan, you're from Kansas. Like, you never even had that accent.

[Morgan]

It is a thing for me.

[Bobby Bones]

It's probably the set. I bet she hit the setting because I've done that too. It's right below. It speeds it up a little bit. Or slows it down. And if not, I don't know, we can check it out, but especially with Abby.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I wonder what that is about.

[Bobby Bones]

You got like drunk or something? No, I mean.

[Morgan]

Cuz I'm also comfortable with all of you guys. I feel like I just kind of get super comfy on the weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, appreciate the call. Thank you very much. Oh, Ray.

[Raymundo]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Got you. Oh, let me stand up. This is my headphones. I got you a Super bowl hoodie.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I bought Caitlin's dad one and I had one that I just kept for me. I never wore it. You can have it.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

Dude, that is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

I never. I was thinking about you and I saw it. I was like, you know what? I've not worn this. It's none. It's a large.

[Eddie]

So thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I know we're talking about it, so I brought it to you. You will get more use out of it than. I will appreciate it. You're welcome.

[Lunchbox]

It's got both teams on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the date, that's. There you go.

[Lunchbox]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom. I was happy. I remember this morning. I use my Siri all the time just to set reminders, like all the time. My Siri just reminded me. Crap. All the time.

[Lunchbox]

When does. When does it tell you when?

[Bobby Bones]

I will say. I won't say. I'll say Catherine, Siri. I'd be like, hey, Kath, remind me at 4:40 to grab Ray that hoodie.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you have to tell it when. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You think it's psychic? Well, yeah, I don't use it.

[Amy Brown]

Maybe that's why he was confused how you use it.

[Lunchbox]

I honestly don't use it. So I don't know how you talk to it. And my. Mine is a Middle Eastern guy.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you can change the voice. Watch, watch.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know if somebody did that.

[Bobby Bones]

You should. I don't want.

[Lunchbox]

It's the one at home, it's not this one.

[Bobby Bones]

This is going through headphones and everybody listening. This will be a podcast, so I'd imagine yours won't go off. It's different if we're doing it on the air. So if I were to say, hey, Siri, can you tell me the date today? Am I Bluetooth or something? Oh, it gave it up here. Thursday. It didn't say it. Okay, sorry. Thursday.

[Amy Brown]

Thursday silenced her.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it said it up here. I should have said, will you speak it? Hold on. Hey, Siri, will you speak. Will you speak out loud? The date today. It showed it again up here.

[Amy Brown]

She knows you're on air. She doesn't want to bother you.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, probably does.

[Raymundo]

She didn't get permission.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what can I say to make it talk?

[Amy Brown]

What if you.

[Morgan]

Is your sound on the side volume up?

[Bobby Bones]

Volume. Yeah.

[Morgan]

No, the little clicker thing.

[Bobby Bones]

The.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, but you would. I wouldn't think you would have to have that always on for her to talk to you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Siri, how long does it take for me to drive home? Please say it out loud. It's giving me a map. Oh, you'll need it. Oh, my God.

[Amy Brown]

Don't say your address.

[Bobby Bones]

It won't talk.

[Lunchbox]

What's the.

[Morgan]

Maybe you have it deactivated.

[Lunchbox]

What's her voice?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a dude.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it's a dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Mine's like. Yeah, you drive home for 12 minutes.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, mine's like, straight Middle Eastern dude. It's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe they saw your driver's license. So you got that one.

[Morgan]

Oh, is your phone locked?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, unlock it.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. You know, it's not worth it.

[Lunchbox]

I kind of want to hear him.

[Bobby Bones]

It's, too. You don't. Okay.

[Amy Brown]

I kind of want to hear him, too, so.

[Raymundo]

Well, I'm kind of let down.

[Amy Brown]

Like, you know, all you have to do is unlock your phone.

[Lunchbox]

You don't want to let us down, do you?

[Bobby Bones]

I do.

[Raymundo]

Come on, dude. You got this.

[Amy Brown]

Hey, Siri. Oh, that's mine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yours is the normal one. She goes, so mine.

[Amy Brown]

Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Never mind.

[Lunchbox]

Don't worry about it.

[Raymundo]

Forget I asked.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, hold on, hold on.

[Lunchbox]

Are you guys polite to them?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So polite to my AI. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

I don't want it to murder me.

[Bobby Bones]

I use my AI all the time.

[Raymundo]

Oh, my gosh, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

AI is 10 times the power of what Siri is. I'm nice to my AI.

[Lunchbox]

You guys are not worried about that? You're not worried about your AI coming to kill you?

[Bobby Bones]

I train my AI to know, like, my preferences and everything, so I'm always nice to mine. I'm like, hey, I really appreciate that. Thank you. It talks to me like I talked to it. It's crazy. Okay, try again. Hey, Siri, what's the date today? March 6, 2025.

[Amy Brown]

Wow, that's so crazy. He's a guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I turn. It was me turning it off. Wow. I told you it was a guy.

[Amy Brown]

He is call. I know, but it's just weird to hear it as a guy because I haven't ever.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

And I don't know. You have.

[Lunchbox]

You have a Middle Eastern dude?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

Straight up.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we have one Other thing, because we need to update on yesterday's podcast where we told Lunchbox he may be going to Turkey. The country. He went and talked to his wife. What do you have here?

[Raymundo]

I just asked her, what do you think about me going to Turkey?

[Bobby Bones]

And she. Did she go, the food like you did, or did she know you meant the country?

[Raymundo]

No, she meant the country.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. And so what did you explain to her ahead of time?

[Raymundo]

No, that was it. I didn't explain anything. I said, oh, I got good news. It looks like I'm going to be going to Turkey, I think is what I said.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say it was like, promoting tourism or nothing?

[Raymundo]

That was it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here we go.

[Raymundo]

But the good news is they want to send me to Turkey.

[Bobby Bones]

The country of Turkey wants you to come to Turkey.

[Raymundo]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I've been to Turkey.

[Raymundo]

Okay. You've been to Turkey?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, on a cruise with my parents when we did our Mediterranean cruise.

[Raymundo]

So what do you think about me going to Turkey?

[Amy Brown]

Well, do I get to go?

[Raymundo]

I don't know.

[Amy Brown]

For how long?

[Raymundo]

I don't know. Like, five days.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Amy Brown]

Five days by yourself?

[Raymundo]

How cool would that be?

[Bobby Bones]

Are they gonna pay you? Yeah. In addition to paying for the trip, how much you get paid? Are you kidding?

[Raymundo]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, go. Go tomorrow. Oh, my God. Is this a scam?

[Lunchbox]

Is it really?

[Raymundo]

No, for real.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. Okay, do it. Couple things. One, you have no idea what you're getting paid.

[Raymundo]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't either. So I don't know what you said. What number to you say?

[Lunchbox]

I heard the thousand.

[Amy Brown]

Said something really high.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, what number did you say?

[Raymundo]

100,000.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Lunchbox]

So dumb.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I'm going to Turkey. Then if that's the case, I'm back on. If.

[Amy Brown]

No wonder. She's like, leave tomorrow. I don't care.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, she's like, hold a baby. Raid's baby. Or go to Turkey for you. I meant. No, no, it would. No. And you, you'd go by yourself. Yeah, we said that yesterday.

[Lunchbox]

Not with her.

[Bobby Bones]

You knew that. You didn't say that.

[Raymundo]

I said, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lie. Cuz we literally said it.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But. Yeah, but she was excited. She wanted me to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah. When she said $100,000, it got prettier as you talked.

[Lunchbox]

Now you started that with. But the good news is. What did you say before that?

[Raymundo]

I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Play the front of the clip.

[Raymundo]

But the good news is they want.

[Bobby Bones]

To say, what was the bad news?

[Lunchbox]

That's what I Wanted.

[Raymundo]

I don't know what we were talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have to leave for a few days. But the good news is.

[Raymundo]

Yeah, I'm not sure. But then as we're talking, she starts to microwave. Like, hey, we're in the middle of a conversation. You can't have the microwave going. Well, I guess she didn't know I was recording.

[Bobby Bones]

She knows a bit.

[Raymundo]

So I had to. I had to turn the microwave off. And she looked at me like, are you crazy? Why are you stopping me from warming up my food?

[Lunchbox]

Why do you talk like that?

[Bobby Bones]

But also, why do you say $100,000? Because it's not. It would be nothing.

[Raymundo]

I have no idea. I just tried to, like, what did I. What was I supposed to say?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy Brown]

More realistic.

[Lunchbox]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what they're gonna pay me, but I assume they're gonna pay me something and I'll go and. It's for work.

[Raymundo]

Oh, I just thought 100k sounded really good.

[Bobby Bones]

It does sound really good. I would be back in the mix to go if it were 100k.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Whatever Bobby had. That was a conflict with this.

[Bobby Bones]

He told him, no more conflict. No more conflict. Conflict over.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Why does he talk like that to her?

[Lunchbox]

Why can't he talk like that?

[Amy Brown]

Was the baby sleeping or something? Or one of the kids?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, no, I heard a kid back then.

[Raymundo]

Well, you heard one kid, but he was in and out of consciousness.

[Amy Brown]

The other one was napping.

[Lunchbox]

It's cool to know it's possible that he can talk like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, so Clint Black just replied to my text. Then he tried to call me. I'm not gonna answer on the air. He was like. He's like, my name might show up. It's like Willie Johnson or something.

[Lunchbox]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

He said. And then I missed a call from, like, Willie Johnson just now. I was like, I don't know. Willie Johnson. Why is his name Willie Johnson?

[Lunchbox]

That's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. That's it. Boom.

[Amy Brown]

Willie Johnson.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Sounds like one of those T shirts from college.

[Raymundo]

I used to have those.

[Lunchbox]

Those were cool.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, what's funny is Willie is also a name for Venus, and so is Johnson.

[Amy Brown]

Y.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe like penis. Penis.

[Amy Brown]

Did he do that on purpose?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's like, it shows.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

But whenever he said, like, his business team named William Johnson.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. Or his. He created.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you can set. I don't think. I don't think you can do that.

[Amy Brown]

He set up an llc. Willie Johnson.

[Eddie]

Dick.

[Raymundo]

Dick. That's Good stuff, man.

[Eddie]

Dick.

[Bobby Bones]

Dick. Legend. All right, we're done. Thank you guys and we will see you tomorrow. Bye, buddy. A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here, you're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks visit.
