Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Never Gonna Get It Game & Listener Interaction (03:00–07:00)

• Game Setup: Bobby poses a riddle to Ricky, a caller: "If you do this at all, stats show you'll most likely do it on a Wednesday around 7pm. What is it?"
• Host Guesses: The show's team guesses include “TV cheat,” “grab a drink,” “go to the gym,” etc.

2. Are Any Show Members Actually Bobby's Friends? (06:45–12:30)

  “None of you were there for me… Not one. Only my friend Nick texted me.” (08:53)

• Experiment Idea: Bobby muses about firing everyone to test true friendship:

  “I want to fire everybody and see if they stay my friends. In one year, if they’re my friends, we’ll bring them back.” (09:04)

3. Thermostat & Home Comfort Discussion (11:01–12:30)

• Thermostat Debate: Bobby references US Department of Energy advice to set winter thermostats at 68°F, preferring a chillier room but warning against letting it get too cold.

• Hosts’ Reflections: They agree such relationships are “weird but not wrong,” focusing on the dynamic of being a stepmom to someone older than yourself.

5. Update on Bobby’s Sealed Prediction (18:00–20:20)

• Listener Email: A woman asks if she and her husband (currently separated but not split) should “fake it” through family holiday gatherings.
• Advice: Both Amy and Bobby weigh in.

  “If you have kids, you do fight through it and show up… If you don’t, you can get out of crappy events. You’re an adult; stop worrying what other people will think.” – Bobby (30:09)

• Team Reaction: Warm congratulations and excitement. Abby admits:

  "It's surreal because I actually didn't think this would ever happen in my life." (37:18)
