[Blake Shelton]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on Bobby.

[Amy]

Transmitting across America, this is.

[Bobby Bones]

Let'S go. Welcome to Tuesday Show Morning Studio Morning. More and more companies are paying people to sleep because it helps so much with scientific research. And so they're constantly posting for jobs for people to come in and sleep for either two or three days at a time. Not all in one, you know, 48 hours, 36 hours, but like eight hours a day, three days a week or here's a job, they'll pay you $19,000 if you will stay in bed for at least two months.

[Amy]

Physically.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh you can't get out of bed because this is from NASA. They will pay you $19,000 if you stay in bed. You don't have to stay asleep for two months. You just can't get out of bed. Yeah, that's impossible.

[Amy]

Can you?

[Bobby Bones]

I have a friend who did it. We had him on the show who stayed in bed for months doing the same thing right here.

[Amy]

They work out. Can they work out, move their bodies?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they can stay in the bed.

[Amy]

But as long as your fee is gonna set in.

[Eddie]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So they want to research how the body is affected by weightlessness, but a lot of that is just laying down. So if you can sleep like Lunchbox can sleep. He can sleep anywhere at any time.

[Amy]

Yeah, but can he lay that long?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I don't know if I can lay for two months.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he can. I think we underestimate ourselves.

[Amy]

We'll give you a little soccer ball.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I guess I could stand up on the bed.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you have to lay on the bed. You can't stand up. You don't have to be touching. It's not hands on a Harley. You just have to be touching the bed the whole time.

[Eddie]

He jumps up from there.

[Bobby Bones]

As long as he's got a pinky on it, it counts.

[Amy]

So what about the bathroom? Do they give you.

[Lunchbox]

You have to catheter.

[Amy]

Ah, no.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I think it's a deadpan, probably for both. They're not all good. I can ask my friend because.

[Amy]

Yes, please.

[Bobby Bones]

We had him on the show and he did this for two or three months and he got paid a bunch of money. I'll ask him. Hey, when you were doing the job where you had to lay in the bed and sleep in the bed, we're talking about a similar thing on the show. How long were you in the bed? Non stop. And then how did you use the bathroom? Were you able to get up? Or did you have to go on a bedpan all the time? And do they cover you with a curtain? If you could let me know, that would be awesome. Thanks, man. Boom. All right, there you go. That's story number one. $19,000 though, for two months work. Not a bad job if you can get it. I bet you can get that one.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Your kid wants a cup of coffee in the morning. Do you give them one?

[Amy]

How old are they?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great question. What if they're 10? No, what if they're 15?

[Amy]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. From the American Academy of Pediatrics, medical experts suggest children underage blank not drink coffee or Caffeinated beverages at all. Name that age. Children under the age of blank.

[Amy]

Okay, fine. Thirteen, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Solid 13. That's what I guessed.

[Bobby Bones]

Four.

[Amy]

Oh, interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Medical experts suggest children under age 4 should not drink coffee or caffeinated beverages. Older kids can handle small amounts, but even then, coffee does have negative side effects on children, including insomnia, headaches, the things that stimulants do. But they throw that number four out there like anything under four. No, it doesn't say you should give your five year olds a full Starbucks run. But that is from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

[Amy]

Okay, interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's now poor gold is falling out again. What?

[Amy]

You guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Gold suffered its biggest slide in four decades and silver posted a bad decline as well. Gold fell more than 12%. Amy got paid in gold once to do like commercials from the gold place.

[Amy]

Yeah, natural golden coin.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the time to buy gold, though. You guys are like, oh, like if you have gold now, yeah, that stinks a little bit. But if you're gonna buy it, now is the time to buy while it's so low.

[Amy]

I mean, it went up so high that like, I mean, I just got it a few months ago and it already gone up $1,000. So you're telling me it dropped 12%? So what's it down to now?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't have that number right now. I just saw that it failed.

[Amy]

Well, you can do the math. I saw something like 800 if it was at 5,000. What's 12% of that, Bobby?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Too early. Too early. Here's a sign that your marriage might be over sooner than you want it to be. According to experts, in anybody's wedding, did they smash the cake into the face of their person? Like when you get you cut in the cake, you smash it in their face. Anybody's wedding.

[Lunchbox]

I did it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's right. Lunchbox did do it.

[Lunchbox]

I did it.

[Amy]

His wife did not want him to do it.

[Lunchbox]

No, she didn't. But that's what you do at a wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

So they say when you. When your spouse says, please don't smash the cake and the other partner does it anyway for laughs, that is basically public humiliation. And experts say that it won't stop with the cake. Through marriage, that's a small sign of things to come. That means the spouse doesn't care about humiliating you as long as they get the shine. And it's fine with making you the easy laugh. I mean, I mean, that's pretty right on it.

[Eddie]

Sounds about right.

[Bobby Bones]

Do it like if you agree to do it, that's one thing. Like, hey, well, smack. But if one is like, hey, don't smack that in my face. I'm dressed up. And then you do it anyway, that sucks.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, no, it's called having fun. It's called having personality.

[Amy]

They know your partner's expense.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, but they know what a.

[Bobby Bones]

Bully says in school. It's called having fun. It's called giving them some adversity.

[Lunchbox]

They know your personality going into the wedding and going into marriage. They know that you're going to smash that cake if they like it or not. And you know what? It makes the wedding a lot more. People talk about it when they talk. Oh, man.

[Amy]

Remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

Never heard anybody talking.

[Eddie]

Remind us.

[Amy]

Y' all had those, like, light up things on the dance floor. That was memorable. Like, that's what I remember. Your wedding was like, the music was fun. You had the neon light up things.

[Eddie]

Your open bar. Dude, that was.

[Amy]

That was legit. Like, I don't remember a thing about you smashing a cake into her face.

[Eddie]

I do remember him crying at the actual wedding.

[Bobby Bones]

He did cry.

[Eddie]

That didn't.

[Lunchbox]

That didn't happen.

[Bobby Bones]

He did cry for her.

[Lunchbox]

No, that never happened.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember Ray being so drunk you couldn't get to the wedding. That was the thing. His wife feeding him at the reception because he was so messed up. Yeah, yeah. Just a little something the science says about that, about humiliation. All right, There you go. Hello, Bobby Bones. Six months ago, my truck broke down. It's going to cost about a thousand bucks. I did not have the money, but a friend stepped in and insisted that he be allowed to take care of it to help me out. I was grateful, but also made it abundantly clear that I wasn't asking for the help and I would not be able to pay him back. He went ahead and took care of it. The truck has been fine ever since. Our friendship, however, has not. Over the last month, he started bringing up, he needs that money back. It's really uncomfortable. Should someone be obligated to pay someone back for a financial favor they never asked for? Signed. Tell me something good turned bad. That's interesting. If you definitely said, hey, I can't pay you back, that's on him. Yeah, he's coming back going, hey, I'd like that money back. But you told him up front, I can't pay you back. I'm not going to pay you back. You don't have to pay him back. That was more like a gift fix. That he did. And you don't Pay somebody back for a gift they gave you.

[Amy]

Yeah, I find it really odd that the person was insisting and was like, no, I got you. And if they heard you saying, hey, react. That they would circle back and then ask for the money.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably they were at a place where they thought they probably wouldn't need the money again. Now they need the money for something like, where can I get the money? It's like, oh, yeah, I helped him out. Probably didn't have the intention of going to get the money back, but then got themselves stuck in a little pickle financially, and now they're trying to find where they get the money back. But you don't owe him the money back. Now if you have 100 bucks something, you give 100 bucks to him. Be like, hey, man, I don't have it. I told you I didn't have it. I super appreciate it. I can give you 100 bucks. That's all I got. Like, there's a way that. But you don't owe him anything because you told him up front that you couldn't pay him back. This friendship might be over.

[Amy]

Yeah, this is weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, this friendship might be over because if you say, I can't pay you back, he's now going to have resentment towards you for not paying him back. Unfairly, you have it towards him because he said he wasn't going to ask for it and then asked for it. That's gonna be a. A tough snow pile to plow out of. You know what I mean? Yeah, good luck with that. But we say as a group, you do not owe him the money back. There you go. Close it up. This woman gave birth during her work shift at FedEx. And you're like, dang, she knows. Coming. She didn't know she was pregnant.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

An Iowa woman. Shift at FedEx ended in a shocking surprise when she gave birth at work. So that's the first. Wow. But she didn't even know she was pregnant. On January 26, she was finishing her shift when suddenly she felt sick, went to the restroom, realized she was in labor. Unable to move, she called for help. First responders from the fire district arrived, and the baby boy was born on the facility floor at 8:33am his name FedEx.

[Eddie]

No, I'm kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[Eddie]

I'm kidding.

[Bobby Bones]

He weighed 6 pounds, 8 ounces, 19 inches. Was taken to the hospital, reported to be healthy. She said she had no symptoms of pregnancy, but she's been pregnant before, so she knew what it was like to be pregnant. She did not know at all. She said she even gained very little weight. To gain very little weight and to have basically a seven pound baby, that's crazy.

[Amy]

That's really crazy.

[Eddie]

You think she's making that up?

[Bobby Bones]

No, because I don't think you have a baby on the floor at work.

[Amy]

What happened with my friend that had a baby that didn't know she was pregnant? She still was getting her period the entire time. And they said she had a. A deep set uterus.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Amy]

So it sits further back than other people. So she wasn't sticking out as much in the front.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. How much that baby weigh your friend had?

[Amy]

I don't remember.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a full six pound, eight ounce baby.

[Amy]

I don't think the baby was that big. There's a story in Florida of this white couple and they did in vitro fertilization and then they got the wrong baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Black baby came out.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Here, play the clip.

[Amy]

So Stephen Mills and Tiffany Score are suing Fertility center of Orlando after their baby born on December 11th didn't resemble either parent. Genetic testing confirmed the shocking truth. The couple's attorneys say they love this baby girl. They want to raise this child, but are living in constant fear that another family could step forward at any moment and claim the baby. The couple says they're desperate for answers. Who are the biological parents of their daughter? And was their own embryo implanted in another unsuspecting couple?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's crazy. Oh, I think that's crazier than the first one, cuz I've never heard of this one. I've heard of the first one happening before.

[Eddie]

Yeah, this one's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Amy]

Yeah, and like I was thinking too, if the baby had come out.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going tell you what I'm thinking.

[Amy]

Looking.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

No, no, hold on.

[Eddie]

Thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

Baby comes out and it's if. If I have a white wife and I'm white and it comes out black or Asian or Hispanic, I'm like, who. Who is she with?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Amy]

But this is in vitro.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I hear you.

[Eddie]

I'm still thinking like, yeah, bring me that dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Where is he? Y. Yeah. Who did it?

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Amy]

Okay. But also what's crazy is if you, if you, if the baby had come out looking like them, but still there could have been a mix up, they would never question it at all. And it might not even be their kid. But because there's obvious signs here, you.

[Eddie]

Know, so when you have this, like, is it sample and sample and they put it together, how does it work? Like, could the samples get mixed up in the lab somewhere.

[Amy]

The embryo was clearly mixed up. Like they implanted embryos that were not theirs.

[Eddie]

Right. So I'm saying, like, if someone in the lab trips over some tubes and.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they go, there's a banana pill on the floor as they're walking with their. Yes, yes, yes.

[Eddie]

Could that happen?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think it's that. Listen, like, Amy's saying what I would think, if you're asking me to assign a theory, it's that the full. The full embryo was meant to be put in person A and it got mixed up and put in person B. So that means person A got a diff.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we got to label that.

[Amy]

Well, I mean, but we hear the stories of like, oh, you're sorry, your right leg was supposed to be amputated, but we did the left.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it's one many things to me, when I had ankle surgery to make sure that wouldn't happen. Yeah, because they did, like four layers. Put it on the. Put it on the other foot. Make me say rote on the foot. Don't do this one.

[Eddie]

Probably because of all those stories.

[Amy]

Yes. I mean, there's a reason why.

[Eddie]

So are they keeping this baby?

[Lunchbox]

That's what I was going to say.

[Amy]

They've already bonded with the baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but then don't you wonder where and who. And maybe that embryo was never implanted in anybody. There's. So there may not be another baby out there, because I don't think there's two people both at the same time waiting for an embryo and the two people walk in the wrong room. I think they might have, for lack of a better explanation, just grabbed the wrong one and put it in the person that was ready for it.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, they've said, like, legally and morally, they want the baby to end up with their biological parents.

[Eddie]

If there's a black couple that gets a white baby, could you be like, all right, safe to say switch. This is the switch.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but I don't think it was a same time type thing.

[Amy]

But they have to have all of the. What I mean is they have the, the data of the mom and the dad that donate. They just have to. Don't they just test the baby and then they'll be like, oh, we can figure out the parents.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but the mom, they may not want the baby. They could have the embryos, like, in for five years from now. Like, they could have saved their eggs.

[Eddie]

And this story is crazy.

[Amy]

I think you would. You're like, I'd be like, wow, Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

You'Re sick, maybe you can't take a baby right now, but you're saving.

[Amy]

I see your point. Now I would just be thinking, like, wow, it's like a surrogate.

[Eddie]

There's a lot to think about.

[Amy]

Yeah, there's a lot. I guess it's far more complicated.

[Bobby Bones]

This in like the anonymous inbox. We just. Just assign something to it and ship it off.

[Amy]

Oh, this is so crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they. Listen, if I'm the judge and it comes to me and I'm the judge of life, it's now your baby until.

[Eddie]

You can prove otherwise, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, until there's no proof.

[Eddie]

What if, like, your DNA somehow shows that your baby is somewhere else with it?

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna have to test your baby and they're gonna have to test. I'm not chasing that. Those tests.

[Amy]

Oh, wait a second. A lawyer for the clinic says that it's privacy issues with genetically testing other babies born to patients at the clinic. Well, I think this. You need to waive that.

[Lunchbox]

How much?

[Bobby Bones]

But everybody has to waive everything.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't just say you have to waive that. I think they get money to raise a kid from the clinic and they keep the baby. Dang.

[Eddie]

Because even the baby's gonna want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, at some point. And I think you can do that later.

[Amy]

So back in 2024, this same clinic was fined for by the Florida State Board of Medicine because a routine inspection found that equipment didn't meet performance standards. So that was.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if that's going to affect anything. Well, they just might not have upgraded their.

[Amy]

Their labeling equipment.

[Bobby Bones]

Microsoft, you know, and I got. I got seven of those. Every time I open my computer, it's like, I'm not updating everything either. I hear you.

[Amy]

It's a crazy story if you're fined in 2024. She had to get implanted in 20. Well, I don't know when this baby was born.

[Eddie]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

Justice for the baby. It's got two parents that love it and want it. Case closed. Case closed. That. That's their baby. And also you have to pay now $20,000 a month in support for the first 10 years of the baby's life.

[Eddie]

The company does.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Promotional Announcer]

$20,000 a month.

[Lunchbox]

That's about right.

[Eddie]

I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? It's 250. $250,000 a year.

[Eddie]

Are you saying that's too little?

[Lunchbox]

They need to pay a lot. A lot.

[Bobby Bones]

But for the first 10 years. So you're talking about. That's ends up being a few Million bucks.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I mean, that's amazing. I take that right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Why were you g. Well, I guess I wasn't.

[Amy]

I was just thinking, like, they would need way more over time.

[Bobby Bones]

But a month? 20,000 bucks a month.

[Eddie]

A month?

[Bobby Bones]

But how a month? What's the total? We just keep yell for the first 10 years.

[Amy]

I know. What's the total per month?

[Eddie]

Don't look at me.

[Amy]

Like, how many millions of dollars is that?

[Bobby Bones]

10 months is 200,000. So you add the two, that's 240,000. So you can just make that 250. So four years will be a million. Eight years will be two million. 10 years will be two and a half million dollars.

[Eddie]

Give it to me.

[Bobby Bones]

That's quick math.

[Amy]

I know, but I think they need to pay more than that.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, you're not the judge. I am. Case dismissed.

This episode sponsored by BetterHelp Look, February turns the volume all the way up on relationship talk, flowers everywhere, couples content, what are you conversations, and this weird sense that you're supposed to have it all figured out by now. And it can really feel like everybody else has their love life locked in, whether they're married or dating or genuinely thriving solo. The truth is, most of us still trying to figure it out as we go. That's normal. Even the ones who look confident from the outside are usually just better at posting their highlight reel. That's where therapy can help. It's a place to get clearer on what you actually want, what's been weighing you down, and how to take some of that pressure off. Whether you're working on yourself, your dating life or a long term relationship, BetterHelp makes it easy to start. They match you with a fully licensed therapist using a short questionnaire so you can focus on your goals instead of doing all the searching. And if it's not the right fit, you can switch therapists anytime. Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult too, but it is worth it. And it almost always leaves people wondering, why didn't I do this sooner? Sign up to get 10 [e-mail] Bobby that's BetterHelp H E L P.com Bobby on the Bobby Bones Show Now Blake Shelton, how did you get on the Voice?

[Blake Shelton]

I got on the Voice because, well, I had done a a couple of shows before the the Voice. One Nashville Star I did one season of Nashville Star, which was on the USA Network, which was under the umbrella of NBC. And then I did another NBC show called Clash of the Choirs, which was just one they did one season. It was like one Week holiday special they did, and it was me and Nick Lachey and Kelly Rowland and Michael bolton and Patti LaBelle. And when I did that, I certainly was, at best, you know, probably a B level artist in country music. But as you know, you get on TV and all of a sudden, you just are in front of so many new people. And so some executives at NBC had caught their attention. And so then I was on NBC's radar. But that's still only part of the reason I was asked to be on the Voice. The reason I really got on the Voice is because Reba turned it down. And I was being managed by Narvel Blackstock, who was managing Reba and was married to her at the time. And Reba said, you know, she didn't want to. The only other show like that was American Idol at the time. And that was back when, you know, I think Simon and those guys would kind of, you know, give people a hard time if they sucked. And so Reba didn't want to be that, you know, on television, which is understandable. And. And so. And even though that's not even what we did on the Voice, Reba just passed on reality television, basically, I think. And they said, well, if she's on, dude, who else do you manage there that we might be interested in? And. And he mentioned, well, I have this new kid, Blake Shelton. And it rang a bell with Clash of the Choirs.

[Amy]

Blake Shelton.

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, exactly. I think that was actually said, like, what are you talking about? The guy from that Mr. Choir. That's right. And so it at least gave. They were like, all right, well, we do know who that is, you know, and at that point, the offer came in, you know, they had. Had already Christina Aguilera signed up, and that's all I knew of at the time, but I. I pushed back a little bit at first, and then finally, I think, you know, somebody in my life was like, who. Who do you think you are? Like, you got this opportunity to go be on the show with Christina Aguilera. Like, it's Christina Aguilera. If she's doing it, then who the hell are you to say no, you know? And it's like, you're right. Okay. I don't know what I'm thinking. And so we did it. And I remember that was when I met Adam and CeeLo, and Adam and I quickly became friends. We had the same kind of sense of humor, you know, and we both thought the show was just the dumbest. The dumbest sellout thing, you know, we could ever do, especially Adam was super worried about that part of it, you know, like looking like a sellout or whatever. And. But we both thought, you know, it. It probably wouldn't last anyway. And so let's. Let's do it and have some fun. And then next thing we knew, you know, it became this huge part of our lives. You know, it changed. Changed my life forever.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you find that it helped your music a ton?

[Blake Shelton]

Yes. Meaning just put it in front of so many more people and. And so when I say help my music, it helped it sell and. And helped my momentum, you know, at country radio. You know, all of a sudden it was like I had momentum that I'd never had before, you know, which was crazy to me, you know, because I remember before the Voice, you know, we would release a single and I was very inconsistent as far as, you know, what worked and what didn't work at radio. You can. It's fun to think about it now. It's like, you know, it came out with Austin, which is this huge record and in my follow up song that barely crack the top 20. And then we came with O Red and got a little momentum back and. And then had a few misses and. And it wasn't until the Voice that, you know that we had a run there probably 10 years, or maybe not quite 10 years, maybe seven or eight years. It's just every single we put out was a. It just automatically. The people didn't even listen to it. They just put it on the air. You know, I was. Just had that kind of momentum for a minute there. You know, was it weird to be.

[Bobby Bones]

A different level of famous? Because for me, when I started to do television, it was just different kinds of people that never recognized me were now coming up to me. But you was even a different level. Did you start to notice that in your life?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah, it was immediate. You know, as soon as the Voice started to air and there's a difference in being on TV and then being on a.

[Bobby Bones]

A hit TV show, prime time hit show. Yeah.

[Blake Shelton]

It was all of a sudden like, oh, now I know how if you don't have thick skin, I know how people lose their minds and, you know, freak out and. And these can't probably handle that kind of scrutiny, that. That many eyeballs, that much attention. You know, I liked it at first. I thought it was. I thought it was fun. I couldn't believe, like, you know, there was a paparazzi guy waiting outside our gate and. And. Or tried to go through an airport or whatever these people were follow taking pictures and Stuff. And at the time, you know, right when I did the voice is also right when Miranda and I got married. And so there was this extra layer of it just kept piling on, more reasons to have more attention, you know, and, and then it became, you know, not so fun after a few years of that and you kind of revert, start not leaving the house as much and you reconsider, like, well, I wanted to go to the store, but not today. You know, just send somebody else to go get whatever you need. And then, and then now I've kind of stayed that guy. You stayed ever since then? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Something we've talked about before is if you get a bunch of money and it's not your money, like on your check or direct deposit, do you keep it? Do you tell the company? So this happened to a guy and he got $1.1 million and he wouldn't give it back. So here you go. They deposited $1.1 million into his account and he refused to give it back. He was ordered to give it back and he refused. So a judge, he went to court and a judge told him, listen, you can either send the money back and I'm going to dismiss this case to the bank or you're going to keep the money. 1.1 million, but you have to go to prison for one year. What do you do there? You got 1.1 million handed to you. You can go to jail for a year and you get to keep the money or you give it back in, we start over. Nothing.

[Amy]

Amy, I, I am not going to jail.

[Bobby Bones]

No jail, no.

[Amy]

There's no clue what will happen to me in there. And so I can't determine whether or not that's worth a million when I get out.

[Bobby Bones]

Christopher Gambon, 46, was a tick tock that I saw this on Lunchbox. 1.1 million. Let's say our company puts 1.1 million in the bank. It goes to court, you don't give it back. But they say you can go to jail for a year to keep the money.

[Lunchbox]

I'm a millionaire. I'm going to jail. Like I'm going to be at one of those low, low security jails. It's going to be a powder puff prison. They're not going to put me in like solitary confinement. So for a million dollars, 365 days, I can make it 365 days to be a millionaire. Put me in jail.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you you don't get white collar prison for this. And you probably don't go to the penitentiary you probably stay in, like, county jail.

[Amy]

They do that for a year.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a long time.

[Eddie]

And that still doesn't sound fun.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not.

[Amy]

I feel like you're gonna get bust out somewhere.

[Lunchbox]

Well, it's not gonna be fun, guys.

[Eddie]

You said powder puff, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

You made it fun. You can't pick your prison, okay?

[Lunchbox]

It's tough to be a millionaire. Like, it's hard work to be a millionaire. And I want to be a millionaire. I would go to jail for one year.

[Amy]

You would miss, like, memories with your kids.

[Lunchbox]

One year, guys. One year. It would go by. Like, just think about how quick a year goes by.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, I paid you a million dollars to just be locked in a box with a webcam.

[Lunchbox]

Well, a box, like lunchbox in a.

[Bobby Bones]

Box for a year.

[Eddie]

That's your sell, dude.

[Lunchbox]

No, because I get to go out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, you get to go out to the yard.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe my backyard. And then you just get to go out for like 15 minutes.

[Amy]

Yeah. We would build a jail.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I'm saying.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Over a million dollars.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd be in it for a year.

[Lunchbox]

For a million dollars.

[Eddie]

You have to do it, dude. It's a great investment.

[Amy]

Yes, great. Yes, yes, yes.

[Eddie]

But. And no visitors, right?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you get visitors.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

You ever been in prison?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Now?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

They get to go visit their family on Sundays.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not often prisons. Conjugal prisons aren't.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, it's very rare.

[Eddie]

No idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's just. Are you volunteering that.

[Lunchbox]

That was a little weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy speaks conjugal, right?

[Amy]

No, I don't want anything to do with that. But I'm just saying, like, I don't know. Yeah, Yeah. I don't know the rules for. If you go to jail for taking million dollars, which that's honestly four hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Of visiting time per month.

[Lunchbox]

It's not bad.

[Amy]

That's not that much. Four hours a month.

[Lunchbox]

That's an hour a week, guys.

[Eddie]

No.

[Amy]

That seems really sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, Would you do it for a million bucks?

[Eddie]

Go to jail?

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta go to jail. You're going to county prison right now. Yeah. I mean, so it's not comfortable.

[Eddie]

I'm assuming it's gonna be the worst. I don't care. The only reason I'm gonna say no is I don't want to miss a year of their life. These are four. I have four boys.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's. That's one of the big reasons you're gonna miss a year of stuff.

[Eddie]

Like, I have four boys. I'm gonna miss a year of all their lives. I don't. I don't like it. And I feel like I could, you know, like the money thing, yes, it'd be easy, but it's a hard decision, dude. But I'm gonna say no.

[Bobby Bones]

So if I were to break this down, let's look at it per day.

[Amy]

What's crazy is how much is it to keep someone locked up for a year? What's the cost of that? Because I'm like, now this guy gets to keep a million, and we're having to pay for him to go to jail.

[Lunchbox]

That's right.

[Eddie]

Nothing about that.

[Bobby Bones]

That's paid. But he is doing something that is considered against the law. So, I mean, he's.

[Amy]

I know, but they should just make him give the money.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah. Give the money back and go to jail.

[Amy]

Right, because you're wasting everybody's time and money.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, every day that you are in.

[Eddie]

Jail is what you're making.

[Bobby Bones]

$3,013 per day.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh, dude.

[Eddie]

But think there's gonna be some bad days in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, that's if you do 365 days. If you do per workday, 260 days. The average number of work days. 4,230 days a day.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. What are you talking about, Eddie? You would do it.

[Eddie]

There's gonna be bad days.

[Lunchbox]

There's bad days in the real world, too.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good point.

[Lunchbox]

There are bad days, bad days out here, man.

[Eddie]

Like this.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, $91,000 per month.

[Lunchbox]

91. Dude, you talk about wanting to make money, dude, your kids, you buy them all brand new cars when you get out.

[Eddie]

I'll tell you what I would ask them. I would ask them like, hey, guys, here's the situation. Like, what do you want me to do? You. You want me to go?

[Amy]

You're going to ask an underdeveloped brain that has no idea how life works.

[Bobby Bones]

Bring lunchbox out of this. Take him out.

[Amy]

No, no, I'm talking about his K.

[Eddie]

That's funny, dude. Underdeveloped brain.

[Amy]

Eddie's tiny children, which they don't have a grasp of, like, money and time. Of course, they're probably going to hear a million dollars.

[Lunchbox]

Exactly. Oh, yeah, they're going to say, go, man.

[Eddie]

But you could break it down to, like, remember. You remember the second grade? How long that was? That's how long I'll be gone.

[Amy]

So I googled, is there bad inmate behavior in a county jail?

[Eddie]

Yeah, of course there is.

[Lunchbox]

There's bad behavior in every jail.

[Amy]

Like, well, I mean, but there's also Rikers and then there's county jail. It's a big difference.

[Bobby Bones]

Rikers. And then there's where the, the stole all the money, lived here in town.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, Chrisley.

[Bobby Bones]

The Chrisley's one. Yeah. Like golf and.

[Amy]

Yeah. Marcus Stewart. Yeah.

[Promotional Announcer]

Man.

[Eddie]

You may not come out the same, though. Like, that's, you know, people go to jail and they come out differently.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Two million.

[Lunchbox]

You're going to be a millionaire.

[Eddie]

Two. Two million. I'm going to lean towards. Yes on that. Two million. That's a game changer.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a game changer. 1.1. Not.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, oh, my God, you're an.

[Bobby Bones]

Idiot because we're not taxing this in your money, in your account.

[Eddie]

Oh, I'd have to have the powwow for sure.

[Amy]

There's no taxes.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no taxes on it.

[Lunchbox]

And just think all the videos and pictures your wife will take, you'll be able to catch up on that year in a matter of days when you get out and every week.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm out. Amy's out.

[Amy]

I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox is in.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, 1.1.

[Eddie]

I've been thinking about it. Oh, 1.1.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No, I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

1.5.

[Eddie]

I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

1.75.

[Eddie]

I'm out.

[Bobby Bones]

2.

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

[Blake Shelton]

Wake up.

[Bobby Bones]

You wake up in the morning. This week's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic.

[Amy]

So you know what this is?

[Bobby Bones]

This is the Bobby Bone store. Now time for the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

[Amy]

Why shouldn't you fall in love with a pastry chef?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Amy]

He'll desert you.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the Morning Corny Tuesday reviews day. I watched the Elizabeth Smart documentary. My wife and I watched it. It's a movie, so it's not a series. 90 minutes about the girl in Utah. She was 14 years old. She was abducted. It's not a spoiler. She lived because she's also in the documentary. At the beginning. Her face is the thumbnail, the screen cap. So yeah, yeah, it's not spoiler. Although people were very upset with Amy. They said she spoiled the documentary.

[Amy]

They sure did.

[Bobby Bones]

It's.

[Amy]

I was like, have you not seen the news?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's, it's. That's a fine line. If it's news and it's recent news, like 2002, I think it's really good. But it's hard to watch at times because of some of the abuse that she suffered. So that part's hard. It's really hard. But it's also really good. And she did live. And it's so recent that I think a lot of people still remember. I remember it. My wife, my wife didn't really.

[Eddie]

I remember her name. Yeah, I don't really remember what happened or like, I didn't remember that she.

[Bobby Bones]

Was taken from her house, from her room. They found the screen cut, and she was gone. And she had a young sister who was in the room with her. And she lived. And they got her back, but it wasn't like they got her back in a week. So I give it four out of five Great Salt Lakes.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But the abuse parts. Pretty tough.

[Amy]

Heavy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yep. So I did that. And then I watched season two of the Night Manager. It's been over ten years since season one, and Tom Hiddleston's in it. Season one, excellent. Four and a half. This one was really good. It also has Hugh Laurie in season one. So if you're gonna go watch season one, Hugh Laurie's in that season, and he plays like the. The main bad guy. So season one, I get four and a half. Season two, I get four. It's still really good. It just missed some of that je ne sais quoi. But it was still good. It was still good. I give it four out of five boxes of weapons. So there you go. Night Manager, season two. All right, Amy, anything to review?

[Amy]

Yeah, I watched the rip, which.

[Eddie]

Yeah, come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Act like Matt Damon on Netflix.

[Amy]

Yes. Would y' all all read that, right? I couldn't remember your scores, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Who cares? Just tell us yours.

[Amy]

No, no, really. What are we all like?

[Eddie]

Tell us yours.

[Bobby Bones]

No, tell us yours, because we're not letting. We're not affecting you.

[Amy]

Okay, guys, two. And that's me being generous.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't watch it. You were distracted.

[Amy]

Two out of five bags of money. I watched the entire thing. No distraction.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. I think I gave, like, a four. Four and a half. You're crazy.

[Amy]

I watched it with my boyfriend and his sons, and we all laid there. I was dialed in. I. I mean, some parts I was a little stressed out, so that evoked some feeling. And then it was cool to see Matt Damon and Ben Affleck together. I mean, I think that's where I.

[Bobby Bones]

Get the two from, but the two people, the two. You're crazy. That was so much better than that. Who saw the rip?

[Eddie]

I did.

[Bobby Bones]

Me. Okay, what'd you give it? Four out of five? I gave it four out of five, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Four out of five.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

I think we gave it the same thing. Like money bags or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you only watch, like, the first 10 minutes?

[Amy]

No, I watched the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you think it was a tick tock and you just swipe?

[Lunchbox]

Did you fall asleep?

[Amy]

No, I watched the whole thing. Like, it was just not for me.

[Eddie]

So what was so bad about it? To you, Ben Affleck.

[Amy]

And I mean, some of it just seems so ridiculous. Like, so ridiculous. I don't want to give anything away. Like, I have thoughts, but then I, you know, I have to monitor what comes out of my mouth so that I don't give anything away or crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, There you go. Hey, did you watch that Amazon new show to shoot them up? The movie? Yeah. What's it called? The Wrecking Crew. You like it? It's really good. Like as far as like a straight to streaming action movie. Like one of the best ones I've seen on Amazon.

[Eddie]

Is that momoa?

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Moa and Dave Bautista.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And we thought about watching it and my wife was like, I can't watch that. I said, why? She goes, because Batista was a wrestler. And I said so she goes, you made me watch Roll Rumble. And then you made me watch Unreal, the Netflix series, because I can't take any more wrestling.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So we didn't watch that because he was a wrestler.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They play two brothers who are kind of strange and then their dad dies. So they get back together. What'd you give it? 3.5 out of 5 islands. That's not that high for like a streaming action movie like this. I think that's really high. Like the threshold is probably the four out of five that we gave the rip. Like, that's the best. An action movie like that could be right below that. Let me give it a two.

[Lunchbox]

Come on.

[Bobby Bones]

Saw the lead singer of Three Dog Night died. Now. Amy, do you know any songs from Three Dog Night?

[Amy]

Not. Not that I know of.

[Bobby Bones]

You will know them. I just didn't know if that rang a bell at all. His name is Chuck Negron. He was 83 years old. I know it because growing up Arkansas Keith, it's really a. Like one of the things we would bond on. It was always like the Cubs baseball in the 60s. Like, I know all about the 69 Miracle Mets and how they beat the Cubs. Oh, that's a tough one for him to talk about. And we listen to classic rock all the time. I think a lot of my. I think vast music knowledge comes from listening to Cool 95 Good Times, great oldies. And don't, don't, don't. If I were the king of the world. I tell you what I do. You know what song?

[Amy]

Jeremiah was a Bullfrog.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, that's one of their songs.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

[Amy]

He was a good friend of mine.

[Bobby Bones]

That was one. And they had. Well, I never been to Spain, but I really love the music. You know that one?

[Amy]

It's not registering just off that. But maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that.

[Amy]

I'm. That's. I'm recognizing that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I never been to sing it.

[Eddie]

Get it?

[Bobby Bones]

No, nothing.

[Amy]

The doo doo doo part you did.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the part.

[Amy]

That's the part. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I was going hard at the other part. And then they had another song that was like, oh, no, I've been singing too hard. They had like three hits, but. Yeah.

[Amy]

And what was the title of the band?

[Bobby Bones]

Three Dog Night.

[Amy]

Three Dog Night.

[Bobby Bones]

Did they. Was it Scuba? Did they have one? One is the loneliest number.

[Eddie]

Oh. Oh, that's a jam.

[Blake Shelton]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, this one. Mama told me not to come. Mama told me not to come.

[Amy]

Dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't know where to do.

[Eddie]

That. Doesn't sound familiar.

[Bobby Bones]

It does. I'm telling you, I'm nailing them. I couldn't be nailing them harder. Would you pull up? Never been to Spain. Cause I never been to Spain. But I really love the music.

[Eddie]

You.

[Bobby Bones]

Know, I just can't sing it, I guess. I think I'm doing B minus on that. You thought maybe I was him, the lead singer. He died. He was 86 and big. 83.

[Amy]

83.

[Bobby Bones]

Big shout out to Arkansas Keith because I know all those songs from him. Shout out. And I would often gain favor by knowing the song within one or two notes because I can name them quick on Cool 95. Be like, hey, that's good. And I'd be like, dang, a father figure likes me. Yeah, that's right.

[Amy]

That was bonding.

[Bobby Bones]

That was new stepdad vibe. Yeah. Like when I had new stepdad, I was like 13 and I was like, how do I get somebody to like me? I was like, memorize songs on the classic rock station. Within two notes. I'd be like, that's the Hollies long cool woman. He'd be like, dang, you're almost my son. I'd be like, oh.

[Amy]

So feels weird to laugh at that, but yeah.

[Eddie]

That was funny, though. It's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Another big announcement, although this one's happy. Luke Bryan is added to our I Heart Country Festival in Austin. So we're very excited about that. So I heart country Festival. Saturday, May 2nd. Luke Bryant is now added to the lineup. It is going to be awesome and fantastic and every other single word. You can look [e-mail] but Ticketmaster.com to get tickets.

He's coming now. If you have tickets, you're in, right, Scuba, Correct.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Just the addition of Luke Bryan.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

People already bought tickets. Now you get a re.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, Rebuy.

[Bobby Bones]

Why didn't you. It was like new tickets going. Yeah.

[Amy]

Re up.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, so Luke Bryan's going to be there. That's cool. And then today, I think is Eddie's last day of his fast.

[Eddie]

Oh, this is it. We've reached the finish line.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Which is. I do. Honestly, it's been pretty good. Like, I've proved to myself that I really don't need a lot of food, which is weird. I've never lived my life like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk us through the fast. Because the first four days were just.

[Eddie]

Water, coffee, and I tried red wine the first day. That didn't work, like, because it burned my stomach. So it was just water and coffee for four days. And then the last day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Thank you, Amy.

[Eddie]

The last day was my son's birthday of the four days. And I had two pieces of steak.

[Amy]

Well, also, didn't you have bone broth?

[Bobby Bones]

So it was a three day fast.

[Eddie]

Bone broth, but that's liquid.

[Bobby Bones]

So it was a three day fast.

[Eddie]

Sure. Three day water fast.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. And then you did day four fast parentheses with steak and bone broth.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

It just sounds like a Tuesday to me. But okay.

[Eddie]

No, bone broth is just water. It's liquid. And then after that, I had this strict fruit and vegetables and nuts and legumes diet. That's it. Which has been crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I can vouch. When we went to California because we went to interview Blake Shelton, Eddie, when he ordered chipotle, he didn't have any meat in his chipotle.

[Eddie]

Nope. I had lettuce and beans and pico.

[Amy]

So you went through the line and.

[Bobby Bones]

You'Re like, we ordered it to come to the house.

[Eddie]

And. And then. And then we had another one where I had a chicken broth. Like, I ordered chicken broth. It was crazy. And last night I had cucumbers. That's what I had for dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

It was.

[Eddie]

Dude. And I'm not hungry.

[Amy]

Wait, hold on. But back it up to the point of the fast.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

How's your spiritual life?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was spiritual to talk about that.

[Eddie]

Right. Because we're asking.

[Amy]

We're asking you well, I'm like, so in your. Since you weren't eating as much food and you had more time, was that spent in prayer? I'm asking. You're not bragging.

[Eddie]

I'm going to be real with you, so thank you. The, like, the only time I really had to pray because, like, I have four kids, was after work. I'd sit in my car for 30 minutes, like, that was it. And then I get home, and every dinner, I'm like, guys, I'm gonna go upstairs while you guys have dinner, and I'm gonna go pray. And they'd be like, what? You don't have dinner with us? I'm like, fine, I'll have dinner with you guys for a little bit, and then I just get busy.

[Bobby Bones]

You forget to pray?

[Eddie]

And I would pray a little bit before I go to bed, but then I was like, man, I don't have time for this.

[Bobby Bones]

You would do 30 minutes in your car.

[Eddie]

With a heater.

[Bobby Bones]

But a half hour is a long time.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, put the little Bible app on, and I would listen to a little verse.

[Amy]

Oh, that's good.

[Eddie]

Pray a little bit. Yeah.

[Amy]

So normally, what would have been your lunchtime?

[Eddie]

Yes. Correct.

[Amy]

You dedicated to sitting?

[Eddie]

That's my only alone time.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you fall asleep ever? No.

[Eddie]

Oh, good. No, man, I was in it.

[Bobby Bones]

Anytime I try to do any of that, like, meditate or if I just dedicate time to being still, I fall asleep.

[Amy]

Even if you just do five minutes?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I tend to.

[Amy]

Yeah, you probably set higher goals than that, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I tend to drift off. Congratulations. Hey, you did it. That's pretty cool, man.

[Eddie]

Good job. I proved to myself that I can do it, as.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you lose weight?

[Eddie]

Yeah, tons. I don't know how much I've lost, but, yeah, I can feel it. My pants are loose for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that something that you want to continue doing?

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Eddie]

After. I mean, I think tomorrow I'm gonna get a pizza. Like, pizza, ice cream, Oreos.

[Bobby Bones]

Finish today, and then tomorrow you'll cancel it all out with one meal.

[Eddie]

I'm just gonna have one meal. Let her rip. And then see what happens.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Amy]

Back up.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you guys can call us if you want. 877-77-Bobby. That is our phone number. 87777-B, O B, B Y. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead.

[iHeartRadio Announcer]

Story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Florida. There were some guys at a bus terminal waiting for the bus when one of them was taking a nap, just getting a little snooze. And someone came up and goes, hey, sir, are you okay? Are you okay? He's like, yes, I'm just taking a nap. And he took the ketchup packets he had in his hand and whapped through one wap. Threw two through three ketchup packets at the guy, and he called police cuz it got two ketchup stains on his jacket.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the most random story.

[Eddie]

Who's the bonehead here?

[Bobby Bones]

Is it us for listening to that?

[Eddie]

Possibly.

[Bobby Bones]

Are we the bonehead?

[Eddie]

So one guy throwing ketchup packets.

[Bobby Bones]

One guy's just asleep at a bus stop. Yeah. Okay. All good guys, like, hey, don't miss your bus. He wakes up and throws ketchup packets.

[Eddie]

And then the other one calls cops. The cops. Because he has ketchup on his shirt.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he has two ketchup spots on his jacket. So he's.

[Bobby Bones]

That word calling the cops? No, like, don't. Ah, whatever.

[Lunchbox]

All right, man. So the guy got arrested for assault.

[Amy]

Because of ketchup packets.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what we're saying. Amy, it's.

[Amy]

No, I know that he called the police, but I didn't know that he got arrested for assault.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. Yeah, I would figure if he threw ketchup packets at him, but it's actually assault and battery.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we're the bonehead for listening to this.

[Lunchbox]

Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so the study says men that spent too much on a wedding ring ended up in divorce a lot more. So the question is, would you be willing to risk it all for the ring of your dreams? Or even bigger. Bigger ring, flashier ring. Do you want the study first?

[Amy]

I need the study because, like, what's the tie to it? Is it, like, so expensive? Like, he literally couldn't afford it?

[Bobby Bones]

The study, which took place in 2014, found that men who spent 2,000 to $4,000 on engagement rings were 1.3 times more likely to end up divorced than people who spent 500 to 2,000. I think the dollar amount maybe doesn't matter as much as the ratio. The percentage women who received expensive engagement rings also experience higher rates of divorce. That number's gone up on the rings, though, because now it's 2026 inflation. But, yeah, they say if you buy a bigger ring, and I think it probably at all compares to how much is being made.

[Amy]

Yeah, Like, I want relative to my partner to buy what he can afford.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you?

[Amy]

I do, I do. I don't want that. I think where we get in trouble at Times is if it's causing stress.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but what does it mean afford? Is it three months salary? You know, cuz that's just made up.

[Amy]

I know that's what they say. He can pay for it with no stress.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that mean? Did this. Does he need to have it all?

[Amy]

Did this stress you out?

[Blake Shelton]

No.

[Amy]

I understand that financing may need. I guess I don't really want actually, actually I don't want him to have to finance that. I'd rather him save till he's ready and then we make a decision. So then you don't enter your relationship with stress and debt. Also that what I can be like, look at my ring. That's not. Diamonds aren't that important to me. They're just really not.

[Bobby Bones]

Now you've been married once so you probably have a different perspective of like what, what. What's important.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

And so what do you say to people who think man, I need a big awesome cool ring?

[Amy]

I would ask yourself like why do you. Why do you need it? And if you're getting pressure from her, why does she need it? You know, like I would just get what you can get at the moment and later in life if you want to upgrade, you can. But I don't want to enter my relationship with stress so that I can keep up with somebody else.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a lot of guys too that get painted in the corner of. I need to really go harder than I can go because I don't want her to have something she's embarrassed of.

[Amy]

Okay, here, here's my thoughts.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, give it to me. Break it down. She's gone into whisper mode, boys.

[Amy]

Because I too, I understand that and I don't think I would want but no offense to anybody, if they have something super teeny tiny, that's okay. I would rather just get me a really cool band like I. My mom's gold band. My sister took the diamond off it after my mom died.

[Eddie]

But I'll.

[Amy]

When I was married I would wear my mom's just gold band on my wedding finger. And my husband sometimes like where's your diamond? But to me a simple band is really can be really pretty and I would rather have that. So I mean maybe there's a compromise or something you could do that's different and unique and special as opposed to like.

[Bobby Bones]

What about. Because I know there's also people that judge like lab grown diamonds.

[Amy]

Oh yeah. Who cares?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so you don't care about that?

[Amy]

I don't care about that.

[Eddie]

I mean can you tell the difference?

[Amy]

No, Yeah, I think so. I mean, I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know what a diamond.

[Amy]

I mean, I don't even think, honestly.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, pine limes and a crystal and a diamond.

[Amy]

To me, like, I've ordered different little diamond bands to layer with my. When I. When I was married and had wedding bands, I had it stackable with other diamonds. Some real, some not. Some with just bands I ordered off Amazon that I would stack to make it more of a fun, stacked, layerable thing. And some were real and some weren't. And I could not tell the difference.

[Bobby Bones]

What if you go with your girl and a lot of people go and look at rings with their person and she's like, I love that one. And it's just way out of your price range. I think a guy feels pressured to get that thing.

[Amy]

Well, shoot. I think she needs to also be considerate.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not, though, because she just picked. She literally just said, that's the one I love.

[Amy]

Does she know your finances? Like, I don't know her, but those are my questions. Like, if she picks something that's way out of your range, like, what do you do? I don't know, pick up an extra job here and there. Talk, ask. I don't know how you make that happen if it's so out of your budget. You have to either tell her or figure out a way to make it work. But then now that's where the stressor comes in.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, then what you have to think about, too is if you're her and if you're paying off a ring that then becomes both of you guys. Payment once you're married.

[Amy]

Seen a lot of girls post about that. And they're like, what the. Wait a second. Like, they get married and then they learn, like, what's this? Payment? And they're like, oh, yeah, that's for the ring I got you. And they're like, what? Now that we've joined accounts, I'm now paying for my ring.

[Eddie]

That's where you go like, you wanted it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. If you're a dude, you could be smart. If you're marrying a girl that has some money saved up, has a great job, go for a bigger ring because, you know she's helping pay for it later anyway, without even saying that.

[Amy]

Where you get real lucky is the hand me downs. The inheritance of, like. Cause I have my. When I got divorced, I kept that ring, and I still. I have it. And my thing is, one day maybe Stashira will get to use it. So lucky forever she dates.

[Lunchbox]

Hold on. You're gonna give her a jinxed ring for hers? That seems weird.

[Amy]

No, we'd reset it. Don't be ridiculous.

[Bobby Bones]

But also, had that ring not been given, she wouldn't even. Stisher wouldn't even be here. So I don't know that it's so jinxed.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

You wouldn't have had your kids. She wouldn't be here without that ring.

[Amy]

So true.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's just perspective on both of us. I think we were talking about recently.

[Amy]

I know, and I think that it would be more like, let's take the diamond off and reset. I mean, think about, like, when my mom passed away. That's what happened. Like my sister and her husband are. They're a perfect example. He had no money when he proposed. He went to James avery, bought a $40 band, proposed with that, and then they've built up over the years. And then when my mom passed away, we divided up a ring. I got the gold band, my sister got the diamond, and she had it set into a new setting, and that's what she wears right now as her wedding ring. Like, they've just done that sort of thing. Just wasn't a big deal to them. So I really think it's your personality and what matters to you of what to show people.

[Bobby Bones]

So we should judge people with big rings. I'm in.

[Amy]

No, they may be able to afford it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm in. All right, we're done. That's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show theme song written, produced and sang by Reed Yarberry.
