Summary

The Bobby Bones Show — Tuesday, November 18, 2025

Episode Overview and Main Theme
This lively Tuesday episod of The Bobby Bones Show dives into a mix of humor, pop culture, practical life talk, and spirited debates on everything from health anxieties (“fofo”), parenting dilemmas, the best time for Thanksgiving dinner, and last-meal foods, all peppered with relatable stories and quick-witted banter among Bobby Bones and co-hosts Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox, and Morgan. As always, Bobby and the team use personal stories to bridge big and small topics, making listeners laugh, think, and maybe reconsider dinner time traditions.

---

1. Understanding "FOFO": Fear of Finding Out

[02:28–08:35]

• Topic Kickoff: Bobby introduces “FOFO,” or fear of finding out, as the overlooked sibling to “FOMO” (fear of missing out).
• Personal Examples:
  • Bobby recounts childhood paranoia of having AIDS due to TV commercials, despite never having been sexually active at the time.

    "I used to always think I had AIDS, so I never wanted to get tested." – Bobby [02:54]

  • Amy counters with preferring to know the truth, especially regarding health, emphasizing early detection:

    "Early detection is everything." – Amy [04:39]

  • Eddie admits his version of FOFO is procrastinating health checks (“my body will take care of it”) and jokes about ignoring stomach aches.
  • Lunchbox’s version is frustration with ineffective doctors who seem to give up or direct him to YouTube.
• Group Encouragement: The team encourages listeners to face health fears and get checked so “you’ll be much happier later on.”
• Memorable Quote:

  "We encourage you to get things checked, because you'll be so much happier later on that you did." – Bobby [08:16]

---

2. Thanksgiving Dinner Timing Debate

[08:55–17:29]

• Prompt: Inspired by Martha Stewart declaring 2pm as the ideal time for Thanksgiving dinner.
• Personal Preferences:
  • Amy: 4pm—late enough for day snacking but early enough to avoid going to bed stuffed.

    "Feels right to me because I feel like...you haven’t reached your peak hungry." – Amy [09:19]

  • Bobby: 11am–noon, so he can eat twice ("second Thanksgiving" around 6pm). Cites family hunting tradition and his grandma’s schedule.
  • Eddie: 2pm, so dinner wraps before the Cowboys game at 3pm.
• Drinking at Thanksgiving: Bobby is “mind-blown” by how many families include alcohol at the holiday table.

  "My mind's kind of blown right now that people drink at Thanksgiving." – Bobby [15:51]

  • Amy jokes that it depends how “tolerable your family is.”
  • The group (except Bobby) shares stories of secretive or festive holiday drinking, eggnog, and more.
• Memorable Moment:

  "I'm never giving thanks correctly." – Bobby, reacting to his teetotaler family [14:09]

---

3. Parenting Dilemmas: When Should Kids Date?

[20:31–25:22]

• Listener Question: Anonymous parent asks what age is appropriate for kids (11 and 12) to have boyfriends/girlfriends.
• Amy’s Experience:
  • Had “boyfriends” as early as second grade—mostly talking on the phone and pretending at school.
  • Allows her own kids to explore age-appropriate relationships, but with boundaries (e.g., no unsupervised sleepovers once son dated his friend’s sister).

  "Let them sort of experiment with that...they can learn how to communicate and interact." – Amy [22:13]

• Eddie’s Take:
  • Prefers kids avoid dating young, remembers teenage heartbreak at 17.
• Bobby’s Counterpoint:
  • Suggests practice at minor breakups young can help buffer major heartbreak later.

  "If you would have gone through some minor breakups, maybe at 17, that first breakup wouldn't have been so hard." – Bobby [23:02]

• Consensus:
  • Harmless “boyfriends/girlfriends” at 11–12 teach social skills, but dating-dating starts mid-teens with supervision.
  • Amy tells an anecdote about a former “boyfriend” helping her years later—“You never know!”
• Important Note:
  • With cell phones, parents should monitor communication, as it’s different from the old landline days.

---

4. Endangered Baby Names

[25:43–28:48]

• Names Going Extinct: According to Bobby, names like Dale, Neville, Gary, Roderick, Galvin, Gladys, Brenda, Sheila, Karen, and even Lauren are on the decline.
• Funny Highlights:

  "I can’t picture a baby named Dale." – Amy [25:47] "Dale kind of rocks, though." – Bobby [26:00]

• Group laughs about their associations, and how some names still "feel" okay (like Lauren) but others sound like old-timey uncles/aunts.

---

5. Good News Stories

[28:48–30:26; 52:08–53:24]

• Story 1: A woman in need called churches for baby formula; most declined unless she was a member. One pastor went above and beyond:

  "Regardless of what the church has, like, I will help you." – Bobby [29:12]

  • That church is now overwhelmed with donations and positive reviews.
• Story 2: Grandma Wanda’s mistaken text a decade ago led to a lasting holiday friendship with Jamal. The story continues and is now even sponsored by Green Giant.

  "He ended up showing up for Thanksgiving. Well, fast forward—they are about to celebrate their 10th Thanksgiving together." – Amy [52:11]

---

6. The “Final Meal” Food Feud

[30:26–37:06]

• Game Prompt: What’s your last meal if you’re on death row? (single food item, based on survey)
• Top Picked Foods (in order):
  1. Pizza (Morgan's guess, top answer)
  2. Steak
  3. Hamburger/Cheeseburger
  4. Ice Cream
  5. Filet Mignon
  6. Cake
  7. Mac & Cheese
  8. Chicken Wings
  9. Chocolate Chip Cookies
  10. Lobster
• Memorable Quotes:

  "The whole thing about barbecue is... you didn’t like how it was written. Not barbecue, it’s maybe more specific." – Eddie [35:39]

• Amy Wins! Despite not eating most of these foods, Amy sweeps the round.

---

7. Viral Burgers & Dangerous Ticks

[40:08–44:46]

• Bizarre News:
  • Story of a man who nearly died after trying to swallow an entire burger for a TikTok. Bobby marvels at the risk people take for viral fame.

  "If you can pull that off, that's the greatest TikTok. You're gonna get so many likes on that." – Bobby [40:42]

  • Amy reveals she once ate an entire cake in Vegas for a cash bet.
• Serious News:
  • A New Jersey man dies from Alpha-Gal syndrome, a red meat allergy caused by the Lone Star tick.

  "I could be anti-tick. So what's the benefit of ticks?" – Bobby [44:12]

• Mini Debate:
  • Amy and Bobby’s AI assistant compete: “Are ticks useful?” Both say ticks supply food for other animals and regulate wildlife populations, but team agrees humans could do without them.

---

8. Review Roundup & Morning Corny

[54:03–56:38]

• Morning Corny: Amy delivers a groaner Thanksgiving joke:

  "What do you call Thanksgiving with a bunch of vampires? Thanks-giving." – Amy [54:03]

• Tuesday Reviews:
  • Bobby: "The Smashing Machine" (The Rock) — 3 out of 5 squared circles; well-acted, but story lacks punch.
  • Amy: “Diplomat” (all three seasons) — 5 out of 5 submarines.
  • Eddie: “Frankenstein” (Netflix, directed by Guillermo del Toro) — 4 out of 5 electric shocks.

  "You just feel sympathetic towards Frankenstein for the first time... how we treat monsters." – Bobby [57:10]

---

9. Bonehead Story of the Day

[57:33–58:48]

• Story: Two bored teens damage a golf course green with truck donuts, causing $160,000 in damage.
• Lesson: Bobby (a former groundskeeper) and crew commiserate with golf course staff and lament the cost and consequences.

[Lunchbox]

Turn it up.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the Bobby Bone Show. Let's go. Welcome to Tuesday Show Morning Studio. Morning. So, you know fomo, which is fear of missing out, but fofo. Amy and I know what it is, Eddie. What's fofo?

[Eddie]

Fear of figuring it out?

[Bobby Bones]

Kinda. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

It's close.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Fear of finding out.

[Eddie]

Oh, finding out.

[Amy Brown]

Yes. Void.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I. I used to always think I had aids, so I never wanted to get tested.

[Amy Brown]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

When I was, like, 12 and I see it on TV, it'd be like, everybody has AIDS.

[Eddie]

Okay, got it. Not because of something you did?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no. I was, like, in my 20s forever. Did anything? Like, I was a virgin forever.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah. Nothing from that, but it was just like, you might have AIDS. And I remember being, like, 11 or 12, being like, I have AIDS.

[Eddie]

Yeah. They weren't talking to you.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know, but I had such a fear my whole life of, like, finding out because I thought. Because all the commercials had convinced me that I had aids. And so that's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of fear of finding out. And then yesterday I was talking about much less severe than aids, but I was talking about I wrecked my scooter, and not my motor scooter, but I have. I've had ankle surgery, so my. I'm in a boot, and I can't put any weight on it yet. So I'm riding around on the scooter or my leg is. And I wiped out. It hurt. It felt like needles shoved into the bottom of my feet. And I don't want to go to the doctor and get checks if I mess it up again because I have fofo. Fear of finding out. Yeah. So you have fear of finding out in any way?

[Amy Brown]

I think I would. I want to find out. Like I said, I don't think I fear finding out. I mean.

[Bobby Bones]

You think you had aids?

[Amy Brown]

No, never thought I had aids.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't get you on those commercials, huh?

[Amy Brown]

But, you know, I think I do. Like everybody, I have a fear of finding out, but I don't want to avoid it. Like, I want to go in and just like, let's go ahead and tell me so that I can know what I need to do.

[Bobby Bones]

How mature. Because mammograms.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

STD checks. Cancer checks. Right. People will avoid it. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They'd rather just not know about a body issue and find out down the road.

[Amy Brown]

No, I'm like, full body skin. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is very. It's scary to go and get any of that done. It's scarier to find out later that if you would have got it done earlier, maybe it wouldn't be as severe.

[Amy Brown]

Early detection is everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Amy Brown]

So like, that's why I think with your fofo, you need to power through because if you, you know, injured.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't have aids. I'm good. No, no, I got checked though. No, I've been checked for all that. I'm clear.

[Amy Brown]

Let's talk about your ankle.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Amy Brown]

Calm down with the aids.

[Bobby Bones]

No, man. I was convinced they used to just say that stuff on TV they would like. It'd be like, you are your friend. One of you probably has it. And I'm like, well, well, I don't have friends friends. So it's got to be me.

[Amy Brown]

What were you watching?

[Bobby Bones]

Any all set comics. We watching Roseanne and the thing where the head. And then after the opening it'd be like, so who has AIDS in your group? And I' have a group. It's got to be me.

[Amy Brown]

I would always run to go do things during commercials.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

Run back.

[Bobby Bones]

Kids don't even know about commercials these days.

[Amy Brown]

They don't know.

[Eddie]

They have.

[Bobby Bones]

They have no idea what they're missing.

[Amy Brown]

I kind of am making my kids experience a little bit because I downgraded to all the like on some of our. My streaming stuff. I have the commercial kind.

[Bobby Bones]

So I have peacock with commercials. I think just because I bought the wrong package and I've been too lazy to go back in. But you can't skip through the commercials. It's like a little yellow dot that if you look at the whole timeline to see where it is, there's like little yellow dots placed that tells you where the commercials are. You can't fast forward it?

[Amy Brown]

No. Up in the top right hand corner, there's like a second, a countdown. Yeah. So you know you've got 60 more seconds of commercials left.

[Bobby Bones]

Whenever I watch YouTube TV, so that's my cable. That's how I watch television. So they do show commercials, but they'll show YouTube commercials in and they do. They put the countdown up there or they go. And I'm never at my remote fast enough. Skip the commercial for Bliss. I always want to hit Bliss, but I'm never. I can't get to my phone quick enough to change it.

[Eddie]

Yeah. What they're doing now is so amazing, is that if you like the product, you can scan your phone and buy it. Look right there. Have you seen that?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I haven't done that yet. It freaks me out.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't been quick enough yet.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you gotta kind of be quick Drama girl on that. And Pop it up and do it. Yeah. Because you only have, like, 30 seconds.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So anyway.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, big time. But mine's not because, like, I want to put it off. I just feel like my body will take care of it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's terrible.

[Eddie]

I know it's not good, that. But that's where my fofo comes from. It's like, okay, my stomach hurts. It's been hurting for a month. I think it'll go away. Let me just wait another month to see if it goes away.

[Bobby Bones]

And I understand that logic because I've probably done. I'm doing on my foot right now. But if that's a surgery and that's a, like, a tear attendant thing, yours could be something like aids.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

You can't just.

[Bobby Bones]

Cancer. Because we thought your thing might have been canceled. Like, Lunchbox has not had Fofo about his. But he keeps going to doctors.

[Amy Brown]

He keeps trying.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's the problem.

[Lunchbox]

I. I have Fofo of doctors being terrible because I've gone to so many, and everybody's like, yeah, I don't know, go see a different doctor. They just throw their hands up in the air.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, we don't believe it happens like that. They throw their hands up in the air and they're like, well, Gallica, geez.

[Lunchbox]

They literally say, I'm stumped. I don't have any idea.

[Eddie]

Stumped.

[Bobby Bones]

Anytime I've ever been to a doctor, and you guys can tell me your stories if it's different that I've ever been to a doctor and they didn't know, and I have been to doctors, and I have a main doctor, and he doesn't know. It's never ended with the well, guess we'll never know. It's always ended with, let me refer you to a specialist who will know. And if that doesn't work, I'm often referred to another specialist. It sounds like your doctors. You walk in and they're just like, don't know. And then you leave.

[Lunchbox]

One doctor said, nah, just look up some exercises on YouTube.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Because that means he's seen it. I don't know. I. I'm a doctor, but just not of the medical letters. Anyway, good luck, everybody out there with Fofo. We encourage you to get things checked because you'll be so much happier later on that you did. I have a pump on my boot. It's like a. Like a Reebok pump.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody ever. Anybody ever want a walking boot? Yeah's awesome.

[Eddie]

I did last year, but I Didn't have.

[Amy Brown]

Because it adds pressure.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it pressures. That's exactly what it does. Like it squeezes it in. So when you do have to put your foot down, like a lot of it's taking a lot of the pressure off your foot because it's going right into the. So I can't wait to dunk again. That's my goal.

[Eddie]

Yeah, dude, it's coming.

[Bobby Bones]

Be back dunking again in no time. Bones, Martha Stewart has said the perfect time to eat Thanksgiving dinner. So I'll ask you first, what is your perfect time to eat Thanksgiving dinner?

[Amy Brown]

I mean, I'm thinking like four o'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock. That's dinner, dinner.

[Amy Brown]

Three.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm not telling you. You're wrong.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, two.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no. Four o' clock is your answer.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that because that's the time that you guys always had Thanksgiving dinner.

[Amy Brown]

I feel like we've had it all over the place before. Just feels right to me because I feel like you still have like you can kind of snack during the day and you haven't reached your peak hungry. And then you do that and then it guides you through dinner and then dessert and you're not going to bed totally stuffed.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no right or wrong answer.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, well, that's my answer. Okay, what about you?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, if I'm snacking all day, I'm getting way too full. It's the bring me bread rolls thing at a dinner. If you bring me bread rolls, like rolls period, and I'm at dinner, I'm gonna eat all the rolls and get full. If you bring me chips and queso chips and salsa, I'm gonna eat all that and I'm gonna get full before the dinner comes out. So for me, I don't like a late Thanksgiving dinner because if there is snacking, I'm going to be so full of the snacks, I'm not going to enjoy the Thanksgiving dinner. Now that's because I have no self control. So that's me problem.

[Amy Brown]

And also, you're not the one in the kitchen stressing about getting everything ready exactly on time. So I feel like maybe that's why I also go a little later.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm stressing that it's not ready for me on time.

[Amy Brown]

True, true.

[Bobby Bones]

My preferred Thanksgiving dinner time is 11am.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, see, exactly my point.

[Eddie]

That's brunch, people.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, 11 to 12. Some like it's at 11, but really it probably gets extended like 11:30 and I'm only 30 minutes annoyed.

[Amy Brown]

So whoever's cooking is waking up at 4 in the morning not my problem. Oh, yeah, yeah, not your problem.

[Bobby Bones]

I have other problems. 11:00am I have a lot of problems. That's not one of them.

[Amy Brown]

You had eggs served at this meal.

[Bobby Bones]

And I completely understand that, but I did not insult you on your time for the record.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, well, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm challenging the time.

[Eddie]

Bobby helps at cooking the dinner too. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I chop up potato. I always have some kind of. Well, I kind of think it's busy work, if I'm being honest.

[Eddie]

Oh, they do.

[Bobby Bones]

Anybody could do it. Instead of me walking around like, anybody know this is gonna be done. They're like, we chopped this potato.

[Eddie]

Keep you busy in the corner.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I literally thought you just filmed yourself chopping and that was the extent of the chopping.

[Bobby Bones]

I've done that.

[Amy Brown]

Like a 30 second video. 30 seconds of chopping.

[Bobby Bones]

No. And you know what? You keep on insulting. I'm just going to take it because that's the kind of guy I am.

[Amy Brown]

I thought that's what you did though.

[Bobby Bones]

No, here's what I do. I do some chopping, I do some filming. I finish the chopping, I film all that. I finished chopping.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

There's definitely some filming because if I'm chopping something, everybody needs to know because I don't chop very much.

[Eddie]

And then after that you do some posting.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I do some posting. Eddie, two o'. Clock. Why?

[Eddie]

It's kind of between what you and Amy were saying. Like, you got to give whoever's cooking some time because usually it's a lunch thing. It's not going to be ready at noon and then the Cowboys play at 3, so we have to be done eating by 3 o'. Clock.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I like mine at like 11 noonish, so I can be fully hungry again by 6 or 7ish. For leftovers for second Thanksgiving. Yeah. Now. And there are sometimes like at Kailyn's family, they'll, sometimes they'll do. They have, they have many.

[Eddie]

They're like three, like different places.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Or maybe I'm getting Christmas mixed up. I don't know. Whatever those holidays are where families get together. Yeah, those, those are still new to me. But I think at Thanksgiving she has like there's like three Thanksgivings. There's like one with the extra family that would you call like. Yeah, yeah. And then there's. There's their main. There's their main one. There's the extra family and then there's one at like a barn with like extra. Other family.

[Amy Brown]

Extended. Extended.

[Eddie]

That's like the town? Yeah, yeah, the rest of the town.

[Bobby Bones]

So I like it. That's why I think that's part of the reason I like it that early. I think my grandma used to always have it done by like 11 or 12. And most Thanksgiving mornings we would hunt in the morning and be back in and then eat right away and you get back in around noon.

[Eddie]

You ever hunt the turkey?

[Bobby Bones]

No, not on Thanksgiving day. That's. No, that's freedom day, buddy. It also wasn't. It also wasn't turkey season. I don't think Martha Stewart says two o'. Clock.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, Eddie, look.

[Eddie]

Nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

But that also doesn't mean it's right.

[Eddie]

She's probably a Dallas Cowboys fan.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no wrong. There's no wrong. Some people that have it at 6pm that's wrong.

[Eddie]

That's very wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's no wrong. Except that one dinner, like if you're having it six, that's pretty wrong.

[Amy Brown]

I mean I don't hate it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

I guess it just depends.

[Bobby Bones]

What am I supposed to do? What I'd do all day driving by people's windows watching them eating it inside. Christmas music's already playing. I'm driving by people in their windows all celebrating and they're walking on the street stuffed. Yeah, Charlie Brown Christmas is playing on my radio.

[Amy Brown]

Well, we covered it all. We've got 11, two and four.

[Bobby Bones]

Martha Stewart has said there's no room for debating. Oh yeah, that's rude, Martha. We just had a room for debating and we enjoyed it. She said the feast should start at 2pm so guests can eat early, watch the game and keep the drinks and dessert flowing later. People drink at Thanksgiving?

[Amy Brown]

Oh yeah.

[Eddie]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Later. Morgan just nodded at me too.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys drink in Kansas Thanksgiving?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, we'll always put together a fun drink and everybody drinks on it all day. Festive.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm talking about alcohol.

[Eddie]

Ye celebration. You're giving thanks man. You have to drink.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, I mean is that a rule?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm never giving thanks correctly.

[Amy Brown]

Then that's when some people start at 11.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah yeah. Whoever's like to cook in the turkey drunk at Thanksgiving?

[Eddie]

Oh yeah, some people.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy Brown]

I guess it just depends. You can also just have like sippers.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know you can just have that. But is it, is it typical that someone gets drunk at Thanksgiving? I've never been at one of those. We didn't. Yes. I'm not anti alcohol in any way. Heck, I wish I drunk. I've never had a drink but I wish I drank. But we didn't have alcohol at Thanksgiving unless somebody snuck it.

[Amy Brown]

Well, also, it depends on how tolerable your family is, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

What do you mean? Of what?

[Amy Brown]

Like, is it exhausting to be around them? Because you may have another. An extra drink or two and is drinking, like, shots.

[Bobby Bones]

Whiskey or wine? Like, light.

[Amy Brown]

I think wine or drinks. Like, so everybody's not lining up in Jager bombs.

[Eddie]

I don't think so.

[Amy Brown]

Or maybe like a bourbon and coke or. Or like a Thanksgiving dinner.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I'm not judging.

[Amy Brown]

A Tuesday.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. Hey, look, that was all of our. Everything's. I'm not judging. So remove judgment from this. It's a shock that people having their turkey and dressing and, like, drinking whiskey. Oh, that's crazy.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's pretty normal.

[Bobby Bones]

I just haven't been around it. Yeah, all of you are nodding your heads.

[Eddie]

Like, what's crazy is, my wife's family, her grandma didn't know anyone drank, but everyone drank because it was at her house. So everyone would sneak drinks in the garage. So she'd always wonder, like, what's everyone doing in the garage? They're just hanging out.

[Bobby Bones]

Grandma, why is everybody so happy?

[Eddie]

Yeah, they were all drinking in the garage.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, my mom used to do that when we were little. Like, she would put wine in her coffee mug, and so it looked like they were having coffee, but it was purple coffee.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

Got him.

[Bobby Bones]

My mind's kind of blown right now that people drink at Thanksgiving. Yeah, man. Do people drink at Christmas dinner?

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, same.

[Amy Brown]

Wait, wait, what?

[Eddie]

Yeah, you gotta have that cheer. Christmas cheer.

[Amy Brown]

Throw little cranberries in there. Well, like, festive.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I get why you put the cranberries in there, but why?

[Amy Brown]

Like, if you're gonna drink, they're red and Christmas.

[Eddie]

It just makes it red. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

And then you put some green things in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Cause my mind's kind of blown right now.

[Eddie]

Throw a peppermint stick in there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I get that people drink all that eggnog.

[Amy Brown]

Eggnog has alcohol, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that sounds disgusting.

[Amy Brown]

Well, I mean, you add the alcohol.

[Bobby Bones]

But does eggnog taste like eggs?

[Amy Brown]

More like milk. Like a thick milk. I'm not a big fan of eggnog.

[Bobby Bones]

But never had eggnog. Not even eggnog without. Because the name sounds gross. I don't really like eggs. Rarely will I even jump in a scrambled. So I'm not gonna drink. I'm not gonna drink what sounds like a liquid version of a scrambled egg.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So I never had it. Is.

[Amy Brown]

It's not my thing. But people that love it, love it.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be a Kansas thing.

[Amy Brown]

I love eggnog, but I didn't really try it until about two years ago. And I was like, oh, I've been missing out all this time with alcohol. No, I had it regular and then I tried it with alcohol and I was like, yeah, now I've really been missing out.

[Bobby Bones]

I can understand if you're drinking it with alcohol, eggnog in general, because alcohol itself, according to my sources, tastes bad. Like, a lot of it tastes bad. And you just do it because of the effect of it.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Amy Brown]

It looks like you can add a lot of different. Whatever you want. Bourbon, rum, brandy, whiskey.

[Bobby Bones]

You can put a book in it. I mean, it didn't matter.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There are no rules. Paper towels in it. Okay, well, my mind's a little blown by all the drinking you guys do at the holidays.

[Eddie]

That's what we do, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody does.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. All right. 87777 Bobby. That's our number here. I'm not sad. I'm not dejected by it. I know it sounds like that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the Anonymous inbox. Anonymous in box There's a question to be. Hello Bobby bones. My kids, 11 and 12, are starting to talk about having boyfriends and girlfriends and I have no idea what the right age is for that. I want to do the right thing, but also don't want to be the mean parent who doesn't understand what it's like for kids these days. If it's not that serious, how young is too young for my kids to have a boyfriend or girlfriend? What are the guidelines? Thanks. Sincerely, this topic scares me. I'm gonna check out this one.

[Amy Brown]

Amy yeah, so I mean from my life personally, I my first boyfriend was in like second grade and then third grade, fourth grade. I remember all my boyfriends too. It was. It wasn't really anything though. Like we just sort of talked on the phone and then we ignored each other at school. And then in high school I had boyfriends, but like my kids, same thing. Like my son, he's had crushes on girls and had girlfriends. I think you just, you know, let them do their thing, but you Gauge it. Like, obviously you have to be appropriate. Like, if they want to have their boyfriend or girlfriend over, we don't like, leave them alone or anything. Like, my, My son had his most recent girlfriend. They did just break up, but he was friends with the brother, too, and he used to go spend the night over there all the time. But then when he started going out with that guy's sister, sleepover stopped because. Yeah, we had to shut that down. So it sounds like you just have to go with the flow. Like, let them sort of experiment with that. I don't mean we're with you. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Age appropriate experimentation. They can learn how to communicate and interact and face the reality of, like, it's not probably not going to work out. Then they deal with the breakup. It's like good learning experience, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Any of kids same age.

[Eddie]

Yeah. None of them have had girlfriends that I know of, but I just feel like 11, 12, like, what are you? Like, it's a distraction. Like you're. You've got all this other stuff to do. I. I had a girlfriend when I was 17. She broke my heart. It hurts.

[Bobby Bones]

That was your first girlfriend?

[Eddie]

First girlfriend.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my goodness.

[Amy Brown]

I was like eight.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I'm like, I'm like, why was I going through that at 17, man. But before my heart apart.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I counterpoint you? Yeah. Imagine like Amy said.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You're. Because 11 or 12 boyfriend and girlfriends aren't real.

[Amy Brown]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

They're just like heightened companions. They're labeled companions of the opposite sex. Probably. And so if you would have gone through some minor breakups, maybe at 17, that first breakup wouldn't have been so hard for you.

[Eddie]

Like the breakups at 11 and 12, they could prepare you for the later.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. They warm you up.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

For rejection from the opposite sex. Yes.

[Amy Brown]

And Eddie, you can be an involved parent. It's also an opportunity. The parents get involved, like have open dialogue, communication. How's it going with them when they experience breakup? Then you walk them through that. It just, it's. It's another part of life. But you don't have to rush them growing up by any means. But you know.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

Like, I think, I think back to my fourth grade boyfriend, Omar San Miguel. You never know when these guys come in handy later because we went out in fourth grade.

[Bobby Bones]

Also, how you can prove you're not racist. Someone's like, you're racist. Nope. You say, Omar San Miguel.

[Eddie]

It's my first boyfriend.

[Miko Mini Plus Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

But then later in college, like, I was flying to see a friend in like Europe for The first time, because they were in college over there and I went for spring break. Who. Guess who was working at the Delta counter.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me guess. Omar San Miguel. Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

And guess what? Because, of course, I had the cheapest ticket possible over there. My first time going, I was sitting coach. Guess what Omar did.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, we don't have to keep guessing. He probably upgraded you.

[Eddie]

I hear you.

[Amy Brown]

Like, it was the coolest thing ever. And then, of course, on the way home, I was flying coach and it was miserable, but it still was like, wow, my fourth grade boyfriend. Like, you never know.

[Eddie]

Okay. Start dating in third grade then.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. You might fly first class if you have a boyfriend in third grade.

[Eddie]

You heard it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that Amy makes great points in that I think it's okay for them to have, quote, boyfriends, girlfriends, as long as it's not, like, boyfriend, girlfriend. I think that comes later.

[Amy Brown]

And I think another thing we didn't have to worry about, like, we had landlines. We were talking on the phone. Kids, if they have cell phones, you've got to monitor that. Because things do get tricky with, like, oh, let me just send a pic of me playing a video game. And then it's like, anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, guess what's next? I think most of us agree it's okay as long as it's okay, like, make sure their boyfriend girlfriend is age appropriate to their boyfriend girlfriend level, which is 11, 12. But it starts to get kind of like, you go on dates and stuff, like, probably 14, 15 with parents dropping you off.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, like, early stages. A couple years ago, my son went on his first date and they went to a play with the girl's parents, like, and it was really sweet. It was first time going to, like, a. You know, I was like, oh, wow, y' all are so cultured.

[Bobby Bones]

You're more blown away by the play than the first day. All right, thank you for the email. You want to hear the baby names that are going extinct?

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Yeah.

[Background Voice]

Dale.

[Eddie]

No more Dales.

[Amy Brown]

I can't picture a baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Dale Gribble or the guy from.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, King.

[Bobby Bones]

King of the.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, that's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, good.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's our little baby. Let's welcome to the word Dale.

[Amy Brown]

Dale.

[Eddie]

Dale Murphy.

[Bobby Bones]

Dale kind of rocks, though.

[Eddie]

Dale's cool, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of rocks. I'll be honest with you. I like Dale Neville. I don't really have a relationship with the word Neville.

[Eddie]

I don't know a Neville.

[Bobby Bones]

N E V, I L, L E. That would be Neville, right? Yeah. We had a couple. Reba with Narvel Oh, I know. Narvel.

[Amy Brown]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Also that's an original name.

[Eddie]

Narvel. Never heard that one before.

[Bobby Bones]

Neville. We had a coach Neville's. Oh yeah, just retired at Mountain Pie. Shout out coach levels. But somebody drove their truck drunk into our baseball complex or like four fields at once. Drove, almost hit kids. He jumped in the truck, pulled the guy out, beat the crap out of him.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

He jumped in the truck as it. The guy was driving into the. Like drove into the fields. It was crazy. Gary, Gary, here's our baby Gary. Just imagine if you can see a baby name to this. More so that. Because like we can name Gary's Gary the Vox. Gary Sinise. Gary Sharon.

[Eddie]

Who's Gary Sharon?

[Bobby Bones]

Is that not the lead singer?

[Eddie]

Extreme.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that later was Van Halen.

[Eddie]

Possibly.

[Bobby Bones]

Possibly Roderick. I kind of like Roderick.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know a Roderick.

[Bobby Bones]

We know Rod.

[Eddie]

Is he his full name Roderick?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's Rodney.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's what I thought. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Roderick is dead. Galvin. Didn't know that was even a name. Gladys.

[Amy Brown]

Gladys last night.

[Eddie]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Gladys. Here's our baby. Here's a baby girl. It's Gladys.

[Eddie]

It's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be weird. I'm just trying to picture it on a baby. Brenda.

[Amy Brown]

Brenda.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's an older name.

[Bobby Bones]

It's 90210.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Who was Brenda? 902 Walsh.

[Lunchbox]

Come on.

[Eddie]

Okay, I'm sorry guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't be stupid.

[Lunchbox]

You idiot.

[Bobby Bones]

You stupid idiot. Sheila.

[Eddie]

I thought you were doing Prince.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Wasn't that Sheila in that song?

[Amy Brown]

Sounds like it, but Karen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's going to go. Yeah. Oh, Sheila, is that song. Here's one I was surprised by. This is the tenth one going out. Going out of popularity because they're in like the thousands place. Lauren, that feels like the most relevant name of all the names. Like people mid to young still named Lauren. Surprised that that's a thing. Why are you confused?

[Eddie]

I'm thinking like I don't know any younger Laurens, but if a baby came.

[Bobby Bones]

Out and they're like, this is our baby, Lauren Smith. I'd be like, okay, yeah, Lauren doesn't feel like Roderick. But if. Yeah, but if Dale came out, I'd be like. I'd be like, you really named your kid Dale?

[Amy Brown]

Maybe that's why Lauren's a 10.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I would assume that Dale would have been name after like their uncle or they were a NASCAR Uncle Dale.

[Amy Brown]

Short for something like.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What Dale? Dale Earnhardt. One name. It's time for the good news with Bobby. I Was talking on our podcast last week about the woman who was calling churches going, hey, I got a baby here. Can I get the formula? And almost all the churches were like, nah, we can't help you. Or are you a member of the church? Nah, we can't help you. And then I've even seen some of the pastors, like, go up and, like, fight against it publicly. It ain't a good look. I think what they should have just said is, hey, yeah, we messed up on that. We'll get better. Yeah, terrible look. But the one church, because there were a few. There was like, even a mosque. It was like, yeah, we got you. Come. How much do you need? Immediately, we'll help you. But one of the pastors, Johnny Dunbar, at Heritage Hope Church of God, they continue to get all these donations because he. And you hear them in the tick tock. He's like, yeah, what do you. I'll buy it myself. Like, just tell me where you are and what you need. Regardless of what the church has, like, I will help you. And so they're still getting all of these donations from people all around the country because so many churches said no. And you can hear him. And when she asks, it's just like another human asking a human. It wasn't about the church. It wasn't about anything other than somebody going like, yeah, I got your back. What do you need? It was awesome. That clip was on. I was disgusted at the other churches, but, yeah, they keep pouring in, and now they're pouring into the church's food pantry. And the Google reviews from the church are like thousands and thousands of five star.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

It's awesome. That's from Sunny Skies. I love the story. Big shout out to Johnny Dunbar at Heritage Hope Church of God. That's what it's all about.

[Better Picks Advertiser (Alternate)]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. The best food for your last meal. Now rank her at thousands of people. You're on death row. What do you choose as your last meal? So it's just one food item. Okay. Amy, Morgan, Eddie, you guys are in this game since Lunchbox finished last last time. Morgan, we rolled the dice. You're first. What's your food?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, this feels easy. I'm gonna go with pizza.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me pizza. Number one answer.

[Amy Brown]

All right. I mean, I don't eat this, but I think everybody loves this. It'd be a steak.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me steak. Number two answer is steak. Okay, you're on death row. What food do you choose as your final meal?

[Amy Brown]

Also, something I don't consume, but everybody.

[Early Bird Advertiser]

Loves is a Cheeseburger.

[Amy Brown]

Hamburger and fries.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me a hamburger. Cheeseburger. Number three answer. Well, for the record, everybody, Morgan does not eat meat, so you don't have to say it for now. On something else I don't eat. Something else I don't eat. Yes. Feels weird.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, I'm gonna go with barbecue. That's different than those other two, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Show me barbecue. Hey, guys, I have an issue with number five. It's different. It is different. Are you sure? I searched it. Yep. Okay. I wouldn't know it was different, but. Okay, just so everybody knows, to me, one of them is very similar than the other three, so I feel like everybody's in the same footing. Okay, Eddie, go ahead.

[Eddie]

Interesting. I'm not gonna go chasing that just yet. I might later, but now I'm just gonna go Mexican food.

[Bobby Bones]

Just straight Mexican food.

[Eddie]

Straight Mexican food.

[Bobby Bones]

Show Mexican food. Got it. Amy.

[Amy Brown]

Pasta.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Amy Brown]

I had that. What do you mean, what? Eddie, you went Mexican food.

[Bobby Bones]

Pasta.

[Eddie]

That's not on my list.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we're now back around either.

[Amy Brown]

But everything I had on my list is taken.

[Eddie]

This is the last thing I want to eat. I'm gonna die.

[Bobby Bones]

Double points up.

[Miko Mini Plus Advertiser]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

You're on death row. What food do you choose as your final meal?

[Amy Brown]

Okay, I'm gonna go with chicken wings.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me chicken wings. She doesn't eat those.

[Eddie]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

That's number eight answer worth 16 points.

[Background Voice]

Okay.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Those are, like, kind of the same. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go with the grilled cheese. There's gotta be some vegetarian.

[Eddie]

She eats those.

[Bobby Bones]

I do like those grilled cheese. Eddie, over to you. You have no points. Points are doubled, though. Off the boards. Pizza, steak, hamburger, cheeseburger, and chicken wings.

[Eddie]

I'm gonna go a little more specific on the Mexican food, so give me tacos.

[Bobby Bones]

Tacos. Oh, my.

[Amy Brown]

Tacos.

[Bobby Bones]

You're so stupid.

[Amy Brown]

I don't know, guys. I don't really know what to do because, like, what's similar to the other things, because I keep trying to think of what that could be.

[Bobby Bones]

You're on death row. What? What food do you choose as your final meal?

[Amy Brown]

I'm gonna go really crazy here and say ice cream.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me ice cream. Number four answer worth eight points.

[Amy Brown]

Okay. Oh, man. Someone. Since ice cream's on, there is cake.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me cake.

[Amy Brown]

Nice.

[Bobby Bones]

Your number six answer is cake.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's huge.

[Amy Brown]

Well, then why not? I mean, we all love cookies. Cookies.

[Miko Mini Plus Advertiser]

Uh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, she's heating up. Your number nine answer is cookies.

[Eddie]

Did she take the lead?

[Bobby Bones]

She has now taken the lead.

[Eddie]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

This just 38 points. Still a lot lot on the board. Well, three, but a lot of points.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, well, Morgan kind of said this earlier, but then she couldn't cuz it was like part of the burgers, but like someone just literally might want french fries.

[Bobby Bones]

French fries.

[Amy Brown]

Or not.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, points are tripled. Now the score is Amy, 38, Morgan, 22, Eddie, 0. Eddie, you're right. Risk of going home.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

We have pizza at 1, steak at 2, hamburger cheeseburger at 3, ice cream or milkshake at 4. Any cake at 6, chicken wings and chocolate chip cookies at 8 and 9. So you got 5, 7 and 10 left. Triple points. Morgan, you're up.

[Amy Brown]

I feel like we don't have this category yet and a lot of people like it.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

I'm gonna go with sushi.

[Bobby Bones]

Sushi.

[Eddie]

Big guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, Eddie, here's the deal. You can still win, or if you miss this, you don't even get to play the next game because you get sent packing.

[Eddie]

Okay, so here we have to have something about barbecue, because the whole thing about barbecue is. You didn't like how it was written. Not barbecue. It's maybe more specific.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me ribs Belgium.

[Eddie]

It's not barbecue. Did you buzz me before I even said what?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you're going down a terrible trail, Amy. You can win this thing. Oh, you already won.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, sweet.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to get some more of these, though?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, go ahead. So I feel like Morgan said steak, and maybe that's the one where something similar. Number five is similar to steak. So is it like, you know, is it a specific piece of meat? Like a filet mignon?

[Bobby Bones]

Show me filet mignon.

[Eddie]

Shut up.

[Bobby Bones]

Does she have the answers? How does she do that?

[Amy Brown]

I don't know. I just thought it would kind of meet my dad.

[Bobby Bones]

It is.

[Amy Brown]

It's a type of one.

[Bobby Bones]

She's already won, so they're matter.

[Eddie]

But man, how did she get that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I also thought, well, that feels like it's not steak. That's why I brought. Raised my hand at the very beginning of it. But Mike, what was the difference when you looked it up? You said it was a specific type.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah, it's a type. And that's.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm familiar with it being a type.

[Amy Brown]

Well, I know, but I just had to, like, channel my dad. I was like. Because I don't. I'm not a stake fake person either.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, okay, but anyway, you already won regardless.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, but how many are left?

[Bobby Bones]

Two.

[Amy Brown]

Two. Okay. Chips and dip.

[Eddie]

Just chips and dip.

[Bobby Bones]

At number seven was Mac and cheese?

[Amy Brown]

No, I had that.

[Bobby Bones]

And at number 10, lobster.

[Eddie]

No Mexican food.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought lobster would be gotten.

[Eddie]

Honest, I don't think I've ever had a lobster.

[Bobby Bones]

Our winner is Amen.

[Bobby Bones]

This is not funny. It's not funny, but it just sounds like something we would do as a bit on this show maybe. So this guy, he tried to swallow an entire burger in one swallow. As a joke.

[Eddie]

He choked.

[Bobby Bones]

He didn't die.

[Eddie]

Okay, good.

[Amy Brown]

I thought he did.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I, I, I wouldn't have even. No, he didn't die. He didn't die. He panicked, attempted to spit it out, collapsed. He appeared to be choking. He was like doing the airway thing. He was taken to the hospital. He is still at the hospital. They, they stabilized him. Oh, let's remove the sadness from it.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, if you can pull that off, that's the greatest TikTok. You're gonna get so many likes on that.

[Eddie]

I just don't know how that's possible.

[Bobby Bones]

Swallow a whole burger. Yeah. And like, has he ever tried anything like that ever? And it worked, right? That doesn't feel like something you would try the first time in front of your friends. But wouldn't. Wouldn't your mind be blown if you saw someone take a whole burger and went, watch this because I can swallow like six pills at a time.

[Eddie]

Impressive.

[Bobby Bones]

And I, yeah, I'm pretty when I do six pills. And I can dry pill it.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, I would.

[Bobby Bones]

I can Dry Pill 6.

[Amy Brown]

This is unnecessary. Don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly. So this guy with the burger, I'd have been like, dang, that's crazy. I would have thought he, like worked it out like it's some trick. Like he's slowly been stretching it out.

[Eddie]

Out.

[Bobby Bones]

It's from the Daily Mail. But had he pulled that off, that's a million likes on Tick Tock.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't, don't. But had he never tried it before and he tried it, wanted to try it right then, like, what was that environment of friends? Like that?

[Eddie]

He's like, oh, yeah, well, you know how it starts. It's how it starts here. I bet you couldn't, I bet you.

[Bobby Bones]

Couldn'T swallow that whole burger in one bite. I think I'd have just been like, no, it's like once somebody bet Amy. To eat a whole cake. A whole chocolate cake cake.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. And I did. It wasn't in one bite though.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a whole cake.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy Brown]

They paid me, I think like a hundred. Like 150 or 200 in Vegas.

[Bobby Bones]

She ate a whole cake?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

They brought it to the table?

[Background Voice]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

How big was the cake?

[Amy Brown]

I was big. I felt sick after, but it was before I was in my young 20s. My first, like, job job that was a lot of money. Like a lot. So I was like, okay, I'm up for the challenge. Cash, no taxes. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get your money? Yeah. And you ate the whole cake?

[Amy Brown]

They paid the hit up. Paid the piper.

[Bobby Bones]

You're the piper.

[Amy Brown]

I think I met up with y' all after. Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

It's good to know you're the piper, though. I was wondering who the piper was around here.

[Eddie]

I heard about him.

[Bobby Bones]

So here's one. This one is not funny. This one to me is scary. And it has to do with eating a burger as well. New York Post has a story. I didn't know this was a thing happening in the States. They say a healthy 47 year old new Jersey airline pilot became the first person known to die from Alpha gal syndrome, which is a severe red meat allergy caused by bites from the Lone Star tick. So he got really sick after eating a steak during a camping trip. That's all he did, is eat the meat and then collapsed and died weeks later. His death was initially ruled sudden and unexplained, but blood tests later confirmed of Alpha Gal syndrome. Researchers traced the cause to prior tick bites that were mistaken for chigger bites. The case, published by the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, highlights how many physicians know about the condition. So the whole thing is, I don't think the meat did it then I think he got it from the tick.

[Amy Brown]

So he previously was able to eat meat, no problem. But then when you get bit by this tick, then you have the allergies. So he had eaten steak, camping or whatever. He got really, really sick. Like almost died then. But they didn't know that it was because of the steak. So then later, fast forward, he's eating a hamburger and the red meat from that killed him.

[Bobby Bones]

So the bite gave him the severe allergy.

[Amy Brown]

That's how I took it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, you're right. I just didn't understand how the meat was in play because I read the guy about the guy trying to swallow the whole burger.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I laughed.

[Amy Brown]

It's sort of like, you know, you're not allergic to something, but then the tick bite makes you allergic. And now. But you don't know it, so you keep, like. I'm, like, thinking, golly, he got so deathly ill from the steak. It's to maybe you just eliminate meat from your life. But they didn't know that was the cause.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, what's the use of ticks?

[Eddie]

Good point.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, like, yeah, I think I'm about.

[Bobby Bones]

To declare our show anti tick. It's something that's been controversial, but thinking about just declaring us anti tick.

[Eddie]

I'll jump on that because.

[Bobby Bones]

And I know, guys, I'm not asking you to commit. I know this is a very controversial subject, but I think this. I could be anti tick. So what's the benefit of ticks? Should I ask my assistant? Yes.

[Amy Brown]

Oh, well, I could tell you, but.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you just don't like her.

[Amy Brown]

I have it right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you looked it up.

[Amy Brown]

It's exactly what she's gonna do, but faster.

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't. Why don't you walk out of the room?

[Amy Brown]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

Walk out of the room? No, Walk out of the room, stupid. It's not to leave.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Gonna make her more jealous.

[Bobby Bones]

You leave, I'm gonna ask her, then you come and tell me your version, and we'll see who was better at it.

[Amy Brown]

Okay, Go ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Walk out of the room.

[Amy Brown]

You want me to do the whole.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, good morning, Just walk out of the room?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Do that.

[Lunchbox]

When you come back, you walk.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead. Make sure she's not listening. Everybody scoot. Make sure she's not listening. Yo, put her in your office. It's soundproof. Okay. And then I'm gonna ask my assistant.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

We were talking about ticks in the last segment. There's a disease called alpha gal syndrome, which sounds like something from Mean Girls.

[Eddie]

The movie Alpha Gals.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Sounds like my dude can't get. But this guy was very healthy. He was camping. He got bit by what's like a chigger and got alpha gal. And then what it does is you become allergic to meat. He then ate red meat, and it killed him.

[Eddie]

But it was a tick, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh, it was a tick. You're right.

[Eddie]

It wasn't called the Lone Star tick, I think you said.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. Good, good catch on that. So we were then debating, what are ticks even good for? Absolutely nothing is what I think. And I think we're an anti tick show. I think. Yes. So Amy started to get mad because I was gonna ask my assistant, who is my phone, and she was like, well, I Can tell you as good as she can. So she's preparing her statement. I'm gonna ask my assistant first, and then we'll let Amy come in. But she's gonna go on and on. I can tell you right now, she's gonna try to win by just rambling on and on.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're gonna time them both as long as my assistant goes, as long as Amy gets. Okay?

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, here we go. Hello. Good morning. We were talking about ticks and tick borne illnesses and the alpha gal syndrome, which a tick killed a guy basically because of the red meat that he ate. So then I started to wonder, what are ticks even good for? And then I said, absolutely nothing like a joke like war, but nobody got it in the studio. That being said, are there any reasons, good reasons that ticks exist?

[Background Voice]

Good morning. And yeah, that's a classic little joke. The absolutely nothing line is always a good callback, even if it flew over everyone's head this time. As for ticks, well, they are definitely not our favorite creatures, but they do have a role in the ecosystem. They serve as a food source for some animals, like birds, reptiles, and even other insects. They're part of that whole food chain, even if we mostly think of them as just a nuisance. So, yep, they do have a tiny ecological role, even if it's not a super glamorous one.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you say they're worthy of being alive?

[Background Voice]

You know, it's kind of one of those philosophical questions, right? Like, every creature out there has its little niche, even if we humans might not love them. And tick, they're definitely hard to love. They're part of the bigger picture of nature. So I'd say from an ecosystem standpoint, yeah, they have a place, even if it's not a place we particularly enjoy. But whether they're worthy of being alive is kind of above our pay grade. Nature just works in mysterious ways with the question asked.

[Bobby Bones]

You got one minute.

[Eddie]

One minute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

You can bring Amy in if she does a whole. Good morning. She needs to stop.

[Eddie]

You know she will.

[Bobby Bones]

She's a hater. She's an absolute hater of technology.

[Eddie]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's been in my office soundproof. She's gonna now come in. And the fact this is a contest is so stupid too. There she is, the anti AI. How you doing?

[Amy Brown]

I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

So you'll have one minute.

[Amy Brown]

A whole minute.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you. Yeah, so she didn't need a minute at first, and then I asked a follow up, so you can finish.

[Amy Brown]

You can Ask me. Follow up.

[Bobby Bones]

I will.

[Eddie]

The same follow up.

[Bobby Bones]

I will. I'll ask you if you need it, but I want to give you a full man it. Okay. Amy, I hate ticks. Why do we need ticks?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, well, I'm glad you asked that question. Did she ever say your name? So ticks seem useless, but they can actually play a specific role in the ecosystem. They feed on wild animals like deer, mice, rabbits. And this is like a. Like they feed on them and then they spread disease to these animals, which is population control. You like, otherwise these animals be multiplying like crazy. Not only that, a lot of animals rely on ticks as a food source for themselves. So they get to eat ticks. If ticks don't exist, then a large part of their diet is no more.

[Bobby Bones]

So would you say the world will be better without ticks?

[Amy Brown]

Oh, good question. I think that while they are bad for humans, they do play an important role in our ecosystem.

[Bobby Bones]

Time. I mean, that's pretty good.

[Eddie]

That was really good. You did it just like her.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, except for a lot of the like.

[Amy Brown]

I'm sorry, she doesn't laugh because she doesn't have a personality.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, and I also said, you know, ticks, what are they good for? And then she goes, oh. So went over the head. That joke went over the head of everybody in your studio.

[Eddie]

Yeah, she kind of made fun of us a little bit.

[Amy Brown]

What'd you say?

[Eddie]

She was like, oh, I got it. Even though they didn't get it hit.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's pretty good.

[Lunchbox]

So who won?

[Amy Brown]

Do you want to ask me more?

[Bobby Bones]

Still AI won, but I like, AI.

[Lunchbox]

Did not do the animal control. They didn't say anything about killing other animals. That was new. That I learned something new.

[Amy Brown]

We need population control.

[Bobby Bones]

You know who says that? Dictators.

[Amy Brown]

What?

[Eddie]

Oh my.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly. Amy's trying to be John Henry right now. And you know what's going to happen exactly? Who? You know the story of John Henry.

[Eddie]

Amy, go research quick.

[Amy Brown]

Don't. Don't ask her. Ask me.

[Eddie]

Oh, good morning.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not going to ask you while you. You're just.

[Amy Brown]

Is what she's doing though. She's looking it up. She doesn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't know. John Henry was a still driving man.

[Amy Brown]

John Henry, they die.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not really. He was a steel.

[Amy Brown]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. He's his American folklore.

[Eddie]

Hello.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you give my studio aud my studio here, the story of John Henry and how it actually correlates with AI.

[Background Voice]

Absolutely. Hello to the studio as well. So the story of John Henry is this classic piece of American folklore. Basically, John Henry was a legendary African American steel driving man. He worked on the railroads, driving steel spikes into rocks to lay down train tracks. And the most famous part of the story is that there was this new steam powered hammer that came along and John Henry basically raced against it to prove that a human could still do the job better than a machine. In the end, he won the contest, but he died from the effort. Now if you think about that in terms of AI, it's a pretty interesting parallel. John Henry's story is kind of this old school metaphor for the human spirit trying to stand up to new, new technology. And these days you can think of AI as that new steam powered hammer. There's always that question of what happens when machines can do certain jobs and how people fit into that picture. So it's a neat way to think about how these old folk tales kind of mirror the conversations we're having now about humans and technology. Neat.

[Bobby Bones]

You're John Henry, but you're gonna die. Keep running out of the room trying to figure it out and Google it real quick.

[Amy Brown]

I don't need to run out of the room. I can stay right here.

[Bobby Bones]

You're just using a different AI to fight this AI guy.

[Eddie]

That's true. You don't have the info in your head.

[Amy Brown]

She doesn't either.

[Eddie]

I know that.

[Amy Brown]

She's like, but she's not real. She's computing it. And she stalls whenever she's looking stuff up. She's like, ha. Good morning studio. That's her. She doesn't even haha. Ask her if she laughs. Say you want to hear her laugh, please.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not going to insult her. She went to sleep.

[Eddie]

Good night. You know what I don't like?

[Bobby Bones]

Good night, baby.

[Eddie]

She knows us and she doesn't like us. She thinks we're stupid now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

She's like, oh, hi studio too.

[Bobby Bones]

It's only because what I tell her when you're not around. It's time for the good news, Amy.

[Amy Brown]

So remember like 10 years ago when that grandma thought she was texting her grandson and she said a text to a random guy inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner and he was like, hey, can I still get a plate? His name's Jamal. Her name was Wanda. She was like, of course grandma's got a meal for anybody. So he ended up showing up for Thanksgiving. Well, fast forward. They are about to celebrate their 10th Thanksgiving together. And Green Giant is going to sponsor the meal to honor their 100th anniversary and their decade long tradition. So it's just a really cool moment of traditions. And the crazy thing is it's still happening.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember when it happened, it was crazy. The fact that it's still happening is crazy. I wonder if they're like kind of over it, but they know every year they get this press and every year somebody like, like, you know, sponsorship.

[Amy Brown]

I mean, I don't think they're over it. He's walked through a lot with her. The loss of her husband. She went through breast cancer and recovered. I mean, I feel like he's part of their family now.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Eddie]

He's in it now.

[Bobby Bones]

I know them by. I'm looking at the picture. I know them under their faces. I've seen this story every year. Yeah, no, it's a great story because it was just an accidental text.

[iHeart Radio Announcer]

Huh?

[Amy Brown]

Yeah. She just thought she was texting her grandson and ended up being Jamal.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. Classic. That's what it's all about.

[Better Picks Advertiser (Alternate)]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. This week's next bit and Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby. Let's go over to Amy for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Amy Brown]

What do you call Thanksgiving with a bunch of vampires?

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy Brown]

Thanksgiving.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning corny.

[Amy Brown]

You know, like friendsgiving.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I swear to God. We get it every time. We know we get it every time.

[Amy Brown]

Like Thanksgiving with a bunch of friends is friendsgiving with a bunch of vampires is Thanksgiving.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, we get it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. We just didn't laugh.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I didn't have time. I would have, but Ray hit the button so quick. I probably would have given you. That's why Tuesday reviews day. I watched the Smashing Machine with the Rock. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

It's where he's like really big. He's a UFC fighter.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's. I think he's less big.

[Eddie]

Oh, well, I think he's just shirt off and like big.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's the story of a guy who was like one of the original MMA fighters because he was fighting in Pride in Japan. Right, Mike?

[Eddie]

Yeah, no, not that good.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm such a casualty to mma. Ufc. Anyway, so I didn't really, eh.

[Eddie]

Really.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the Rock did a really good job in the movie, but I. I didn't feel like it wasn't like a Rudy. Like I didn't know who Rudy was and.

[Eddie]

But you like football.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not even Football. It's like, I like a story. Like, I like, like. I don't know. It wasn't much of a story. The story lacked a climax. There was nothing like, okay, here, this. There's nothing. It just. It just kind of slice of life of this dude who had some hard times, struggle with addiction, and it's kind of like, all right, yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I give it three out of five squared circles because they don't fight in the cage.

[Eddie]

Squared circles.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a ring. No.

[Eddie]

Octagon.

[Bobby Bones]

No, they don't fight in that. I really thought I would love it. And I. I came away going, okay. Yeah, I'm glad I watched it. But me. So I give it 3 out of 5. I realize why I didn't make any money now. There's nothing dynamic about it. There's nothing. Yeah. Amy, you? Anything?

[Amy Brown]

I finally finished Diplomat, so now I've watched all three seasons.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me that season wasn't crazy.

[Amy Brown]

So good.

[Bobby Bones]

Like this one.

[Amy Brown]

Five out of five submarines.

[Bobby Bones]

That show is awesome.

[Eddie]

Gary Russell.

[Amy Brown]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything, Eddie, from you?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I watched Frankenstein on Netflix. It's a movie. New G. Yeah. Brand new. Guo del Toro directed it. I loved it, dude. I thought it was really good. I love the story of Frankenstein and the fact that it was new. Frankenstein looked different. He wasn't just the flat top monster with a. He had long hair. He looked awesome. And I give it four out of five. Electric shucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Mike, what's the movie that's coming out with her? Like there's a Frankenstein woman. Bride.

[Eddie]

The bride.

[Bobby Bones]

Bride of Frankenstein.

[Eddie]

The bride.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like that's Lady Gaga playing her, but it's not.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's not. I thought it was Lady Gaga because I saw it on a preview.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, is it Lady. I think it's Maggie Gyllenhaal. That sounds about right. I think it looks like what Lady Gaga normally looks like. And we just think that looks like Lady Gaga. I think her. Her and Jake Gyllenhaal are in it.

[Better Picks Advertiser]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's cool.

[Lunchbox]

But this.

[Eddie]

That's. This isn't it. But I didn't. I was wondering, though, why did it come out after Halloween? Because it came out the week after Halloween movie, Mike.

[Bobby Bones]

Doesn't have to be a Halloween story.

[Eddie]

It's Frankenstein.

[Bobby Bones]

It's way beyond. Oh, I don't think Frankenste a Halloween story.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

It's so emotional. It's so good.

[Eddie]

It is really good, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you saw Frankenstein too? Thoughts it like you just feel sympathetic towards Frankenstein for the first time. And it has some, like, really poetic lines. I'm like, man, he's making me feel emotional. Like how we treat monsters.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you shouldn't treat monsters like that.

[Bobby Bones]

When you guys treat me bad, I want you not to think about that. Exactly. Bobby Bone show Bonehead.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Two 17 year olds were out driving around. It's 2:30am like, man, we are so bored. There is nothing to do. What can we do? Hey, there's a golf course. Why don't we go drive your truck on the golf course? So they went out there to the second green and did donuts all over.

[Bobby Bones]

It on the green. Which, by the way, as someone who worked on a golf course for years, if you want to go tear up a golf course, like, that sucks. But if you want to go tear up a green, it sets the place back months and it's the most expensive. Like, it hurts me a little bit.

[Eddie]

Like, as an older person now that plays golf, I'm like, that's just terrible.

[Bobby Bones]

Even when I see people, like, swing a club off a green on a video, not even as an old person, but as somebody who did maintenance on a course, I'm like, oh, man, that sucks. Yep.

[Lunchbox]

So they caused $160,000 in damages.

[Bobby Bones]

Shout out to all the golf course superintendents out there that are having to deal with things like this and anybody.

[Amy Brown]

That works in turf management.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, the pa.

[Amy Brown]

I took turf management in college. And that's one of the things we studied was golf courses and how they hire very specific people that know how to take care of that type of grass.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's called a golf super part of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

All right, I'm lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

I did a whole interview, it's an hour long with Phil Rosenthal, who has that show on Netflix. It's called Feed Phil or Don't Feed Phil or he's got. And he's also got a cookbook.
