Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bone Show.
Lunchbox
Let's go.
Bobby Bones
Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning, Studio.
Eddie
Morning, Bones.
Bobby Bones
What do you got?
Amy
Well, so how many times is. Too many times to have the waiter come by and ask for your food order before it starts to get awkward. So I went to eat with some friends, and we were catching up, so not really engaged with the menu. And our waiter had come by three times already, and we were like, oh, shoot, we're not ready to order. So by the fourth time, we still weren't ready ready, but we forced ourselves. We're like, okay, we have to decide. Don't go anywhere. And then we all just pick something. I never served. I was a hostess. I never was a server. So I guess I just didn't know if they have a number where you start to get really annoyed. And you were a waiter?
Bobby Bones
Generally two. So if I go to the table and I say, hey, you guys ready? And you're not.
Lunchbox
Totally cool.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I can even put myself as the person eating the meal. Oh, sorry. Hadn't seen the people in a while. We're just talking. They come back a few minutes later, hey, you guys. Oh, I forgot. We forgot. We know you already came by once. We weren't ready then, and we have forgotten because we are so caught up in conversation. But the next time you come back, we will have our order.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
And so you get two. Mostly because the longer you sit there and just jibber jabber and you have the right to that table, the longer you're going to be at that table to keep that server from turning the table when you're done to make more money through the night.
Amy
Yeah, no, I understand that.
Bobby Bones
So twice.
Kimberly Perry
Okay.
Eddie
You went four.
Lunchbox
Oh, man.
Amy
Well, we were.
Bobby Bones
Did you guys forget you were eating?
Amy
We're about to go five. But thankfully, we were all like, oh, that would be awkward. So we just ordered.
Bobby Bones
Had you guys not seen each other?
Amy
I mean, we were just catching up. I do think that the first time was a little bit, you know, out of the gate. We had just sat down, so. But that's fair to catch to include the first visit completely, you know, because we didn't even really had the time to look at the menu.
Eddie
The first is just drinks, though, usually, right? Yeah. Can I get your drinks first?
Amy
Yeah. And then he was like, let me know if y' all are ready to order. Do you need more time? We need more time.
Bobby Bones
Well, when I sit I'm ready to order.
Lunchbox
Wow.
Amy
Of course you are.
Bobby Bones
If I'm at the place and I'm. My butt's in a chair. I know what I want. Either I've looked it up online, or I look at the menu. Immediately my wife gets onto me because the waiter will say, all right, you guys ready? And I'm like, yeah, we are. And I've not checked in with anybody. But what I do is I go, yeah, we are. I'll go first, and then I'll talk a little slow to give everybody a second to, like, go through the menu. It is probably rude, but people will just sit all day and not order.
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
And I'm hungry. And also, I don't want to be there all day.
Eddie
So are you kind of the table manager? Because I am with my family.
Bobby Bones
You have to be with your family for.
Eddie
For real. I have to be like, four kids. Is everyone ready? Okay, junior, you're starting. And then I kind of direct the
Bobby Bones
table as an adult with other adults, I don't have to point at people. But if I go, yeah, we're ready. And then I start to order, everybody then feels the pressure to look down and figure something out.
Amy
I mean, if people have dined with you before, they know. But if you're at a dinner with somebody new, you still do that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, but it's not to purposefully put on pressure to be a jerk.
Amy
No. It's to purposely put on pressure to keep things moving along.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Eat.
Eddie
The purpose of going to the restaurant,
Bobby Bones
and we're going to have all meal to talk, so we're going to have that.
Amy
Better not go too long.
Bobby Bones
Well, as soon as the check comes, I'm ready to go.
Amy
If the check even makes it.
Bobby Bones
Well, sometimes I will go. The check doesn't even get to our table. Most of the time. I will lay my card on the corner of the table.
Eddie
Oh, man.
Bobby Bones
And just go, hey, you can take this whenever you're ready.
Amy
And he's like, but, sir, you've only ordered drinks.
Eddie
Fair.
Bobby Bones
All the conversation that needs to happen happens from the minute we sit down till we finish our meal. We're not going to hang out after. We're not going to do a whole lot of talking before. There's plenty of time to have all the conversation we need. That's how I feel about having a dinner.
Eddie
That's not what they do, like, in Europe, right? Like, don't. In Europe. Don't they just hang out for, like, hours?
Bobby Bones
What they do in Europe that I like is they bring You. The thing to put your credit card in. They don't take your credit card. They don't.
Amy
Some restaurants here do that too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, they start to do, but they're universally. And also. Huh.
Eddie
The little tray with a receipt?
Amy
No, no, like the actual scanner.
Bobby Bones
They scan your credit card in front of you. So they don't take your credit card back to a room where no one else is in the dark, where they have full access to your credit card with nobody watching.
Eddie
Yeah, that's weird.
Amy
My credit card got hacked the other day.
Eddie
It did.
Amy
And I have to change everything.
Bobby Bones
What happened?
Amy
I got a text from Chase saying,
Bobby Bones
it's safe in here. Tell us exactly what happened.
Amy
Okay. I got a text from Chase saying, did you make, you know, this 200 purchase to Poppy Garden or something? I don't know. I was like, I don't think I did that. But I was like, what if Poppy Garden is short for something else? And maybe I had some bill come through. So I research it, and then I click, nope, wasn't me. And then they immediate reply is, okay, we've canceled your cart. We'll mail you a new one within seven days. And I'm like, sometimes, though, because this
Bobby Bones
has happened to me a couple times, and I think my number has just been out there, like, on the dark web or something. I'm not sure. Sometimes, though, I don't want to say that it's not me because I'm still in the. Still using my card.
Amy
Right.
Bobby Bones
And I, like, want to let them get away with it for a minute so I can keep using my card just for a little bit. Like, I'm going to cancel it, but if you cancel my card right now, I can't use it for the next day and a half until I get another one.
Amy
My mind was blown on this part, though. Did you know if you have your Chase card, I have it attached to my Apple Pay. And then I was going through the line at the grocery store and all. I didn't have my wallet, so I was like, shoot, all I have is my phone. And I was like, my. My credit card's not. I haven't got my new one in the mail yet. But as soon as they assign you the new number, they update your Apple Pay.
Bobby Bones
Oh, I didn't know that.
Amy
Me neither. And I. Thankfully, I was. I was about to have to tell the grocery store person, never mind.
Lunchbox
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
With all the groceries up there, I
Amy
was like, I don't. I just realized that I don't have a way to pay. And she was like, no, no, I think it's. It'll update. She's like, just pull up your phone. Let's see if it works. And I pull it up, and sure enough, the last four digits are not the old one. It's a new four digits. But my card hadn't even come in the mail yet, but it saved me.
Bobby Bones
So you got good hacked?
Amy
Well, I was like, technology is amazing.
Bobby Bones
It's the anonymous inbox. Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be. Send it into the mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. I need some moral and maybe legal advice. Someone accidentally sent me 350 bucks on Venmo. The description of the payment had five party popper emojis, so it definitely felt intentional. Except I don't know who this person is. It's been a week now. They've never messaged me back asking for it back. So now I'm wondering if they never reach out, is this my money? At what point does accidental Venmo become a blessing? I love it. Sign broke, Girl on Venmo. First, I would worry it was a scam, but the scam would come with someone asking for it back. This person thinks that they sent somebody party money. I'm sure it was their contribution to a bigger party is what it feels like to me. Or a birthday gift. That's a lot of money for a birthday gift, so I feel like it was intentional. Where they messed up was on Venmo. If you send someone money and you don't have their number on your phone, it goes, are you sure you want to send this money? Type in the last four digits of the phone number. You don't have to. You can bypass that, which I often do.
Amy
Same.
Bobby Bones
But then the money's just out there. And I've paid people accidentally before and didn't get it back.
Amy
She should offer, right? Does she reach out to them?
Bobby Bones
The only way to reach out to them, though, is to send them a dollar and put it in the notes of the message.
Eddie
Oh, you can't message them.
Bobby Bones
No. There's not a DM version of Venmo. Yeah. So if you want. If your heart is bothering you because you're going, man, I don't feel good about this. You can send a dollar back and write in the message, did you accidentally send me money? And then if they don't respond, it's yours. As a matter of fact, you don't have to respond, just yours.
Eddie
So the $1 before sending the whole
Bobby Bones
amount back, $1 is just so you can send a message.
Eddie
Okay.
Bobby Bones
Because you can't send a message without sending money. The message is part of the money. So if it's bothering you, I would do that. And then if they don't, it's yours. They don't respond.
Amy
So you're like testing if it's a gift from the Lord.
Eddie
Blessing. The blessing.
Amy
Blessing. Yeah. Like, Eddie, if you send it all back, you're denying the blessing.
Eddie
You are. You don't want to deny the blessing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. What would you do?
Amy
I would. Yeah. I didn't know you couldn't message, but that's what I was thinking I would do. So I guess I would go your route and send something so that I could open lines of communication.
Bobby Bones
I'm almost positive you can't message on Venmo.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Without there being money sent. So if it's bothering you.
Amy
Yeah. Like, who did you mean to send this to? Because heads up, it didn't go to the right person.
Bobby Bones
And then if they don't respond, all good.
Amy
But I'm not saying it all back to you because 50 holders fee.
Eddie
Okay, okay. How long before you can spend it? Like, if they don't respond, 24 hours.
Bobby Bones
48 hours.
Amy
48 hours.
Bobby Bones
Because it's on their phone. It's up to them to look.
Amy
Maybe you say if you don't respond within 48 hours. I'm considering this a gift from the world.
Bobby Bones
That feels like a threat. Sounds like a kidnapping. Like. Yes.
Eddie
A ransom note. Yes.
Bobby Bones
You could just keep it. And I have a feeling that's what some people would do. What would you do, Eddie?
Eddie
Oh, I'd keep it.
Bobby Bones
Just keep it?
Amy
Yeah, dude.
Eddie
I think it's just awesome. Like, you get on your Venmo and you have money in there. Like, you can always play dumb. Be like, oh, I didn't. I never saw that. Like, that's crazy.
Amy
But yeah. What if it is some sort of a scam?
Bobby Bones
If it is a scam, they'll ask for it back in a different way. Or they'll ask for it back. Like they took a card that wasn't theirs or something and they sent you money and they want it back. So then the card's unhooked from the thing and now they're getting money back. There are lots of scams like that, but if you're just sending back what they gave you, you don't lose anything.
Eddie
Yeah.
Amy
My friend got a message on Venmo from. Well, I don't even know how she got the message. I don't know. Now I'm like, I. I need to her to show me I need her. Send me a screenshot. It was from, like, Sugar Daddy Daryl.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I know Daryl.
Eddie
That would be risky.
Bobby Bones
We went to high school together.
Eddie
Sugar Daddy Daryl.
Amy
Sugar Daddy Daryl. And, like, in his graphic, it says, like, text me. And it has, like. I don't know. The whole thing seemed weird, but she was like, do you think this is a scam? And I was like, yes. Yes. I was like.
Kimberly Perry
It was.
Amy
It's the co host of my podcast, Cat. She was talking about it. She was like, yeah. I was like, I probably wouldn't correspond because it's probably not even Daryl. It's like somebody in another country.
Bobby Bones
It also feels so invasive because I'm on my Venmo now. It feels so invasive to see the messages people are sending to other people with money. So all my stuff's private. And, like, I see Abby's Venmo up.
Amy
What are the emojis?
Bobby Bones
Abby sent some guy some. It don't matter who it is. And the message is Ray Charles.
Amy
Well, yeah, I can tell you the story. Actually, it's kind of funny. Well, no, there was.
Bobby Bones
Did you know people can see that?
Amy
Shoot. Can you see who she's paying?
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
Oh, but you can't see the amount?
Bobby Bones
No, you can't see the amount, but I can see who she's paying.
Amy
Okay, Abby, what's up? I always do private. This one time, no, we were in a.
Kimberly Perry
A sports bar or just eating out,
Amy
and I was like, I bet you can't name who sings this song. If you can, I'll give you $20. And he did.
Eddie
This is a strange.
Kimberly Perry
My fiance.
Amy
Okay. I was like, I want to hold up to my bargain, or, you know, my end.
Bobby Bones
Got it, got it, got it.
Amy
I didn't think he'd get it.
Bobby Bones
That's why.
Kimberly Perry
But that's weird.
Amy
Yeah, I always do private.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm just seeing a bunch of people sending a bunch. Like, they'll put, like, Eddie sent money to someone and put a pill as a emoji.
Amy
What is that?
Eddie
But you know what that was. I'm never honest with those emojis ever.
Bobby Bones
Hey, sure, buddy. Anyway, hey, thanks for the hookup, man. If it were me, I'd send a buck over and be like, hey, you sent me money. If they didn't respond in 48 hours, I'd be done.
Amy
I've started to get real specific in my venmos, because when I try to track it for different things later, like, I want to know. I used to just be like, well, pick a random emoji, whatever. Who Cares. But then some stuff or taxes or something. Like, looking back, I want to know specifically exactly what I was doing. So I'm looking through mine, and I'm like, wow, I'm getting really specific.
Bobby Bones
You didn't do drugs in yours like Eddie did? Eddie does a pill and a snow.
Eddie
Like, a what? A snowflake? Dang, dude. You knew what I was doing.
Bobby Bones
All right, there you go. Close it up, Bones. Amy found a list of places women will refuse to go on a first date. Yeah, I'm already triggered by the boy. I'm already triggered by this. So they think they're too good for the five places you're gonna list.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
First date. And I do understand the first day you do want to show off a little bit. It's your representative, not really you, that's going out on the first date. So number five, Olive Garden. Yeah, I'm triggered. I love. I love Olive Garden.
Lunchbox
What's wrong with that?
Eddie
It's great.
Amy
I don't know. This is a viral list from. Explain. Like, this is something that's going around
Bobby Bones
too good for Olive Garden.
Eddie
You're not. Yeah, I'm.
Bobby Bones
You're not good enough for me. Yes. Yes.
Amy
In. At number four, Chipotle.
Bobby Bones
Okay, well, that's. Oh. Oh, you feel that?
Eddie
I mean, Chipotle is not really a date spot. That's a lunch spot to me.
Lunchbox
You know what I mean?
Bobby Bones
Date or you want a lunch date?
Amy
Yeah, on a lunch date.
Bobby Bones
I love Chipotle.
Eddie
Chipotle's good. I'm just saying.
Bobby Bones
Date.
Lunchbox
Ooh.
Eddie
I don't know if I would pick.
Bobby Bones
If there's a single place that you tell me you're too good for. You're. Nope. I don't care what the place is, unless we're going to like the poop house, where there's just poop sitting around. That's not even a real place. Number three.
Amy
Chili's.
Eddie
Love Chili's.
Lunchbox
Come on, now.
Bobby Bones
Love Chili's.
Lunchbox
The skillet Queso.
Bobby Bones
Love Chilies.
Eddie
The little kiosk where you can play games.
Bobby Bones
I don't like this girl.
Amy
No, this is a viral.
Bobby Bones
No, but there's somebody who's not going to these places, and I don't like her. Number two.
Amy
Applebee's.
Eddie
Get out of here. Well, there's probably only one left in the world, huh?
Amy
No, there's a lot of Applebee's.
Eddie
There is one here.
Lunchbox
Yeah. There's one everywhere.
Eddie
One I used to go to close
Amy
down on a date night.
Bobby Bones
Okay. And the number one place that women don't Want to go on a first
Amy
date Is Cheesecake Factory.
Bobby Bones
That's nice.
Lunchbox
Why?
Eddie
That is.
Bobby Bones
That's classic. Have you seen the menu? All the options?
Amy
Oh, there's many. So, so many.
Bobby Bones
We're getting mad at Amy.
Amy
Feel like this is not my list.
Bobby Bones
I know. I feel like Cheesecake Factory, though, is a bit elevated.
Amy
Yeah, I mean, I, I didn't make it up. Maybe because it's, like, attached to the mall.
Bobby Bones
Are they all. I don't think they all. Oh, man. I don't know.
Lunchbox
The one in Houston is because, like,
Amy
California Pizza Kitchen's attached to the mall, and I would like that, I guess.
Eddie
No, I've seen one standalone.
Amy
Oh, really? Okay.
Bobby Bones
In California, not all cheesecake factories are attached to malls, but a vast majority are.
Kimberly Perry
Okay.
Bobby Bones
And they do it because they benefit from the high foot traffic.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
However, they do have freestanding locations and international sites. What if you go to, I don't know, Uruguay and, like, we gotta go to the Cheesecake Factory. I feel like that's an unfair list. What if you went on a first date, Amy, to any of these places? Do you have a problem with it?
Amy
No, I, I, I wouldn't. And we've gone over this before, and y' all are like, shut up. Yes, you would. But I just wouldn't because I'd be like, this might be a test.
Bobby Bones
I'm most offended by Olive Garden and Chipotle.
Eddie
Really?
Bobby Bones
I love, like, Chipotle.
Amy
What else are we doing? Like Chipotle.
Bobby Bones
No, let her talk.
Amy
Okay, here's my intrusion.
Bobby Bones
Now the truth's coming out.
Amy
Come on. Here's the thing about the other ones. They're, they're all more of a sit down. There can be a server situation. But Chipot, like, are we, there's more to the date. Like, we're going to Chipotle.
Bobby Bones
What if there's not?
Amy
Interesting choice then. And I love Chipotle.
Bobby Bones
But you don't think it's ceremonial enough
Amy
for the first date, which is pretty quick. Like, you go through the line, you make your bowl, you eat your bowl, you're out. Like, there's no server. There's no dessert option. There's no appetizer, like, at all these other places. Yeah. You can get the skillet queso, you can get a milkshake, you can get
Lunchbox
chips and guac at Chipotle.
Amy
You're ordering it all at once. You're not gonna go through and order your chips and guac and go sit down and get back up and order your bowl.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
I just feel like maybe that's the first stop. And then. Are we going?
Bobby Bones
No, we're not.
Amy
Somewhere else.
Bobby Bones
We are not.
Amy
It doesn't have to cost money.
Eddie
I'm telling you right now.
Amy
Are we gonna go for a walk?
Bobby Bones
We are not. Well, maybe, but it's not already determined. Because what you want to do is know if you like each other enough that you want to do something extra.
Amy
It's the equivalent of like, let's just grab some coffee on our first date. Let's feel each other out, see if we like each other and see if this is worth anything else.
Bobby Bones
Are you too good for that?
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
Sounds like it.
Bobby Bones
Like a drink, a coffee, a Chipotle.
Amy
No, I've just not heard of Chipotle being that filler. I've heard of like, oh, let's meet for a drink, or let's meet for a coffee. And this is that version, but with food.
Bobby Bones
Let's meet for a quesadilla.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay. If you don't feel like those are good enough for you.
Amy
No, they are not.
Bobby Bones
You. I'm talking to the per. Oh, the people out there.
Amy
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I don't feel like you should be listening to our show anymore. Then you're too good for us. And that's bottom line. We have something really special for you.

He's 16 now, but back when he was 12, he approached his parents and his grandmother and said, hey, I want to figure out how to help other kids in the community that are going through something rough, like they're in hospitals or shelters. So he had the idea of coming up with kindness kits. They've got games inside, other fun stuff, Rubik's Cubes, stickers, stuff that'll make kids smile. He started this back in 2021, and since then he has delivered over 16,000 kits he was doing out of his garage, but get this, he just moved to a warehouse. And he's got so many volunteers working for him that every so often they're delivering about 4,000 kits. Like, every few months, they're delivering 4,000 kits, which is crazy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's crazy how it started.
Amy
Yeah. And it stays pretty local in the Boston area for now. And he's going to be going to college soon, he said, and he hopes to take it nationwide.
Bobby Bones
That's it. That's great story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show.
Kimberly Perry
Now, the band Perry.
Bobby Bones
Good to see you guys.
Kimberly Perry
Good to be here.
Bobby Bones
I would like to say to your faces what I've said to. Not your faces. I think it pulled off the greatest coup ever. And I don't know if it got to you either strategically or not strategically. This was the greatest coup. And I want to explain myself. You were in the Van Perry, with the two brothers. That was vampiric. And you guys were massive. It's kind of hard to be the Band Perry without your brothers. Right. So you come back, you, your brother and your husband. Yeah. And then you drop your brother. Now that's a whole. And I was like, that's the most strategic, beautiful launch back to the Van Perry ever. Because obviously you want to tour under the Van Perry.
Kimberly Perry
Totally.
Bobby Bones
So was that if it was on purpose? Oh, my gosh. That would be genius level, like chess and checkers.
Kimberly Perry
I wish I could claim that because maybe it would issue job security forever and ever, but no, it just happened the way that it Happens. I mean, we chatted last time during my solo era, which was really special. I mean, I was pregnant. I had my son shortly after that project came out. It did not feel authentic to me to play band Perry songs live under the solo artist banner. And also, I just missed the hell out of playing with family on stage, whoever that family ended up becoming. But no, not strategic.
Bobby Bones
What three questions do you get asked the most? And then answer them so we can move beyond that.
Kimberly Perry
Okay, number one, like, where are your brothers? Where are they?
Bobby Bones
Where are your brothers?
Kimberly Perry
They live in California. Both of them married. Reed lives in Joshua Tree with the scorpions and the Snakes. He and his wife are raising five wild mustangs. That's a big question. Another one is, what is different about season two from season one, and what's gonna remain the same? It's very important to me that the nostalgic feelings that brought us to the country music dance in the first place remain in this era. Dan Hoff is producing our album. He recorded Pioneer. That's very, like, intentional, but country music is more exciting than it's ever been since I've been a part of it. Like, there's so many bold artists and bold song statements happen, and we want to contribute to that. I think those are the top two questions. And how is it working with your husband?
Bobby Bones
How's it working with your husband?
Kimberly Perry
How is it, babe, working with your wife?
Bobby Bones
Wonderful.
Kimberly Perry
Never been better, I think.
Bobby Bones
I think we play very different roles. I think I'm what you call ocd. So, like, all my cases on the road have cases. I'm always trying to organize all of our road life on the road. And Kimberly's the creative and always been the voice behind tbp. So I think I'm just here to one, learn the catalog. I come from a rock background where I'm like, this is commercial country, southern rock. Like, there is such an element of, like, when TVP kind of transitioned to larger venues outside festivals, larger arena tours with Tim McGraw, like, you started to see Danhuff take the music and go more. Hey, let's have some, like, chainsaw, some done better Dig two. I think that's where I. My music tastes and my music history align a lot with. So it's been really fun to just be like, these songs are killer. Like, I want to play them. And then the stuff we've been writing recording is awesome. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show. Now the band Perry, where did you elope to Vegas.
Kimberly Perry
We got married at midnight at the Wynn in our hotel room. Why That I was on the west coast doing meetings. Three days on the west Coast. We had a day off in the middle. And I suggested we do Disneyland, of course. And Johnny was like, let's just go to Vegas. Let's go do this. I had no dress. I mean, I had it got married in a neon skirt, u white T shirt, bare feet. And we had a little bit of a litmus test, though. I was like, if this is meant to be, everything has to get done. Like, we woke up that morning, we're going to Vegas. And we had this rule that, like, we wanted to go in a cool car. So if somebody would let us on tour vet get their black Corvette, if they would let us drive it from LA to Vegas. Because a lot of times they just let you take them in the city. If they trusted us to do that, like, that was one on the list that was like a check this is meant to be. And the other was to find a 24 hour efficient because we didn't really want Elvis to marry us. Like, that's cool. But we were like, let's have like a moment. All these pieces came together and I was like, let's do it. Let's go get married in neon tonight.
Bobby Bones
I guess my final question is, you know, you put out this new song. Like, why this song?
Kimberly Perry
Psychological. Yeah, well, you know, I love a good Psycho girl love song. I mean, I felt like it was better Dig two's Kid Sister. We love Bold Moves here. Obviously, in the Bam Parry. I felt like of everything that we've recorded so far, this song to me was the perfect balance of, like, the poetry that I Love and OG Ban Perry songs. But it feels perfectly in 2026 country music. Everything is so exciting. These artists in this format are like, you know, swinging for the fences out here. And I felt like this was equal parts Bold Move, but also reminiscent of. If you loved our band from the beginning, you're probably gonna love this song.
Bobby Bones
Do you play all the hits on tour?
Kimberly Perry
Yes.
Bobby Bones
And you feel better about playing all the hits now? Yeah.
Kimberly Perry
Versus as Kimberly Perry. That just did not feel natural to me. Again, I'm so happy I made that album. But I was just like, this is. This doesn't feel right.
Lunchbox
Bones.
Bobby Bones
Eddie's kid paid for his own streaming service. I think that's cool that he did that.
Eddie
I felt bad doing it though, because, I mean, we've never had hbo Max. I've stolen it from my sister. And then recently it's. I've been getting this thing where like, are you traveling or do you need to log in again? And I, I've. I've texted her twice and be like, hey, I'm gonna say, you're traveling. Will you send me the code? But then now it's not working. So my son's like, dad, I really want hbo. Max. I'm like, dude, if you want it, you can pay for it. And then he did, and he's paying for it. But here's the thing. Now, like, like, do I get to use it? Like, he's paying for it, but do I get to get on it whenever I want and watch whatever I want?
Amy
No.
Lunchbox
Yes. It's your house.
Bobby Bones
Boom.
Lunchbox
Your house. Your. You get to use it.
Amy
Well, I mean, yes, you can, but then, I don't know, it just feels off.
Bobby Bones
What about. What's he using to watch it on his phone?
Eddie
No, he's got it on the TV. Two TVs.
Bobby Bones
Did he buy either one of the TVs himself?
Eddie
No, I bought this. And plus, dude, I, I, I pay for prime and all the other Netflix and all that, and he watches that whenever he wants.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
He's still the, though.
Amy
Yeah, I know. That's the, that's the thing.
Bobby Bones
I would say. Yes. I would say if he buys it, you get to watch it. But every time you watch it, you have to thank him. Oh, wow.
Eddie
Hey, thank you, man. Thanks for allowing me to watch.
Kimberly Perry
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Show some appreciation.
Lunchbox
It's kind of funny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Okay. That is pretty mature to go.
Eddie
Wow.
Bobby Bones
We don't have this service, and he's gonna pay every month for it.
Eddie
Every month. He paid the year because he said it was cheaper for the year. I'm like, I like that.
Amy
I just feel like if I started watching as the parent, I would feel like I should start paying for it, and then he would need to pay for something else.
Eddie
He doesn't pay for groceries, guys. Like,
Bobby Bones
he's your child. Yeah. Were you proud of him for doing it? Yeah, like a weird sense of that's cool. He's using his own money to. Because that's something that you don't really own. There's not. It's not tangible. Right. Like, if you're a kid, you buy cool shoes. You get to have them. As a kid, you're buying a streaming service. I was, like, buying a set of tires.
Eddie
I think it's cool. Like, the fact that he has his own job and he has his own bank account, and sometimes, well, just him and I will go out to lunch and be like, dad, let me get this. I got my own money. Let Me get this.
Bobby Bones
Dang.
Eddie
I'm like, that's really cool.
Amy
And he pays for himself or you too?
Eddie
Both.
Amy
Wow.
Eddie
And I let him.
Bobby Bones
That's generous.
Amy
Yeah, that's. That's really cool.
Eddie
So the fact that it really didn't surprise me that he was like, I'll pay for it. I'll pay for hbo. Max was like, I didn't surprise me, but I was like, wow, it's really cool. And then I thought, like, man, can I watch?
Bobby Bones
Is he normally generous with his money? Yeah. Is he a saver?
Eddie
No, no. He kind of makes his money and it goes.
Bobby Bones
Easy coming, easy come, easy go.
Eddie
That's the way he is. It's funny, though, because all my kids are different. I have a big time saver that won't spend any of his money, and then I have one that just blows it immediately. And then I have another one that likes to be like, oh, a little bit here and a little bit.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Eddie
They're all really different.
Bobby Bones
Anything on that with yours?
Amy
Oh, yeah. I have one that my daughter doesn't like spending any of her own money. She likes to spend money. She likes things. But she is a saver. Like, she will figure out a way to save her money. And then my son is very generous. It feels weird because I don't want to say that she's not generous, but she's just not going to be as giving. Like, Stevenson would even be, like to her, like, oh, here's $5. And it would be very difficult for her to offer up.
Bobby Bones
Up.
Amy
Like, if he needed $5, she would be like, figure it out yourself.
Bobby Bones
Do you guys ever take money from your kids? Banks, Piggy banks.
Amy
Like, if I need cash, I've done it before. Yeah. Do you tell them, yes, I would pay it back?
Eddie
No, no, no. One time the pizza delivery guy came and. And I was gonna tip him, but I had. I didn't have any cash, so I had to go and, like, steal $5 because they all have their wallets in the same drawer. So I just went in there and took five bucks.
Bobby Bones
And you replaced it when I have.
Eddie
Not yet.
Bobby Bones
It.
Eddie
No.
Lunchbox
How long was like two months.
Bobby Bones
How long ago was it?
Eddie
No, that was like four, five years ago.
Bobby Bones
Oh, so they don't even know? No.
Eddie
No clue.
Bobby Bones
Does that tell you they don't count their money and, like, they don't have a track of it then?
Eddie
Well, they have bank accounts and then they have wallet money. The wallet money is kind of. They. They forget what they have in there just because it's Concession stand money. Like, if they go to a basketball game, they take their wallets, but then they don't keep track of how much is in there. So I could probably steal money all the time.
Kimberly Perry
Oh, wow.
Eddie
And they would never know.
Bobby Bones
Bones. All right, let's play a television game. Raymond, no. What? You got that? All right, so I'm going to give you two best friends on a sitcom. You guys are just going to name the sitcom example. Zach and Screech.

The students at Amelia Earhart elementary in Lafayette Louisian. Oh, no, it's Lafayette, Indiana, are enjoying a cool new way to get hands on books, thanks to a volunteer with a heart of gold.

So he donated a $9,000 book vending machine that gives kids for good behavior, being safe, being responsible, a shiny gold coin.

Dang. I thought you would get that one, because you're gonna know it, and now you're gonna know it.
Lunchbox
Well, I'm gonna know it too.
Bobby Bones
Now you're New Orleans.
Eddie
He shot a man in Reno just to watch him.
Bobby Bones
Shot a man in Reno.
Lunchbox
Just should have got that one, man.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah.
Lunchbox
It was over a gambling debt.
Eddie
I mean, they didn't say that, but maybe
Bobby Bones
that's what you think.
Lunchbox
That's what I think.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. That's wrong. But they don't say that.
Lunchbox
That's the context.
Bobby Bones
Did you just make that up?
Lunchbox
That's the context.
Bobby Bones
Clues. Eric Church references two Bruce Springsteen songs by name in a song. Springsteen, I'm on Fire and what other song? Eric Church references two Bruce Springsteen songs by name in his song Springsteen, I'm on Fire. And what other songs?
Amy
Springsteen.
Eddie
I'm in.
Lunchbox
Springsteen.
Amy
I don't even know any. I don't know Springsteen songs.
Lunchbox
I know one.
Amy
I'm in.
Lunchbox
I'm in for the win.
Eddie
I'm not 100.
Bobby Bones
Amy.
Amy
Union man.
Bobby Bones
That'd be a good one, but I don't think that's one at all.
Eddie
Is that a Springsteen song?
Amy
I have no idea. I just made it up.
Bobby Bones
I said I like it. Like if Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
I first thought Hometown, but I think that's an Eric Church song. So I put Born in the USA
Bobby Bones
let's back up a second. Hometown. You think Homeboy?
Lunchbox
No, Hometown. Like my hometown at the Pizza Hut.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay. So he does have a song called Homeboy, but then you know what that song's called?
Lunchbox
No, I don't.
Bobby Bones
Sing it.
Lunchbox
Pizza Hut. My old girl.
Bobby Bones
Give me back my hometown. Is that what it was?
Lunchbox
Oh, that's it.
Bobby Bones
Is that Pizza Hut?
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's a Pizza Hut one.
Bobby Bones
That's a good one. Anytime you put Pizza Hut in a song, it's pretty good. It's very strong. If you can do Pizza Hut to be your old song. No, not right, Eddie.
Eddie
I believe it's Born to Run.
Bobby Bones
Somewhere between that Setting Sun, I'm on Fire and Born to Run.
Lunchbox
Oh, man. You want to hear something cool about Pizza Hut?
Eddie
I mean, I kind of want to hear this.
Bobby Bones
Let's vote.
Amy
Yes, we do.
Eddie
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
That would be 2 to 1. So you got it.
Lunchbox
You know the brothers. You know how they started Pizza hut? They borrowed 600 bucks from their mall, and they bought some old equipment and rented out an old building that was abandoned. And that's how they started Pizza Hut.
Bobby Bones
How'd you know that?
Lunchbox
I read it somewhere.
Bobby Bones
Same place you learned about the gambling debt in the song. It's all I just worry about. It's like, no, no.
Lunchbox
I just read it somewhere and I was like, that's pretty crazy.
Eddie
They were just like, was that Wichita?
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
That's cool.
Lunchbox
600 bucks.
Bobby Bones
Brothers Dan and Frank Carney found a pizza hut in 1958 in Wichita, Kansas by borrowing 600 bucks from their mom to open a pizza parlor while attending Wichita State University. Bam. Nailed it. Dude, that's like one for 19. Good job.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I've met them.
Eddie
You met the brothers?
Lunchbox
Yeah, when I. When we go to Wichita and do station visits, I met them.
Eddie
Well, are they downtown? Like, what?
Lunchbox
I went to a Kansas jayhorse basketball game with them.
Bobby Bones
With them?
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
That's amazing.
Bobby Bones
Like, okay, is this like when you're with Halle Berry?
Lunchbox
No, no. I wrote in a limo from Witcha to Lawrence.
Bobby Bones
With them? Yeah. In the limo? Yeah.
Eddie
We've never heard this.
Bobby Bones
How do you not have pizza? Then? One of the guys is 94.
Lunchbox
Maybe one in there.
Bobby Bones
Maybe the other guy's dead.
Lunchbox
Maybe it was the kids.
Bobby Bones
Okay, see, this is the thing with the stories. Because one guy is still alive, but he's 94. The other guy's dead.
Lunchbox
I know, but I'm saying.
Eddie
How long ago was this?
Bobby Bones
Last night.
Lunchbox
Maybe it was their family member, like the younger generation.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Lunchbox
But it was someone to do with pizza because it was their tickets.
Eddie
As the manager is the local manager.
Lunchbox
Maybe it was Domino's.
Bobby Bones
It was annoyed.
Lunchbox
Hey, but I got my Fun fact, right? All right.
Bobby Bones
The fun fact was. Right. Thank you. Okay, last question. In Heads, Carolina tells California by Jodi Messina. What city does she have people in?
Eddie
I'm in.
Bobby Bones
And heads, Carolina tells California by Jodi Messina. What city does she have people in? By the way, Amy has zero, Lunchbox has one, Eddie has four.
Amy
She has some people in a city
Lunchbox
and I have some people in.
Amy
Oh, bam. Thank you for. Lunchbox just gave it to me.
Eddie
I think you said it before he did, though.
Lunchbox
I'm in for the one.
Bobby Bones
No, Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Des Moines.
Amy
That's it.
Bobby Bones
It's not it. What do you have?
Amy
Des Moines.
Bobby Bones
No. What?
Lunchbox
Hold up, hold up. How did you come over.
Amy
The way you.
Bobby Bones
How in the world is that?
Amy
That's gotta be in the song.
Bobby Bones
Guys, relax. It is in the song, but it's not the one. Eddie, what is it?
Eddie
She's got people in Boston.
Bobby Bones
I got people in Boston. Ain't your daddy still in Des Moines?
Lunchbox
I had the wrong line, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Five for five, guys.
Eddie
That is pure domination right there.
Kimberly Perry
Yeah, it is.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Why?
Eddie
It's country music.
Bobby Bones
Why don't you say it at the beginning then? Like, I expect you to win because you're better.
Lunchbox
No, I'm not gonna say that.
Eddie
You'll never say that.
Bobby Bones
If you expect that, then, Eddie, good job. Good win there. Thank you. Happiest cities in America, or do you want the bottom?
Lunchbox
Bottom's more fun. 1.
Bobby Bones
There's three Ohio cities. Shout out Ohio. You guys don't deserve this.
Eddie
Those are bottom.
Lunchbox
Cleveland.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Akron at 10.
Eddie
Oh, Akron.
Bobby Bones
Dover, Delaware at 9. I found it to be quite enjoyable.
Eddie
We've been there.
Bobby Bones
I found it to be quite enjoyable. I was so surprised it was that close to Philadelphia. Fort Smith, Arkansas, at 8. You suck. Not Fort Smith. The person who made the list. Augusta, Georgia, at 7. It's just everybody jealous they can't get on the golf course.
Eddie
Yeah, exactly.
Bobby Bones
I mean, we can't either, so it's not like we can. Toledo, Ohio, at 6. Huntington, West Virginia, at 5. Cleveland at 4. Unfair. Shreveport at 3. Lost a lot of money on those boats down there. I get being angry at that one. Number two, Memphis.
Lunchbox
Oh, hey, I understand that.
Eddie
No, no, I love Memphis. Dude, you are full of history.
Lunchbox
You ever stay the night in Memphis or you just drive right back?
Eddie
No, I stayed the night. Gone to Grizzlies games. My kids love it. We go see Sun Records.
Bobby Bones
You ever been to Olive Garden there? No. Got my car broken into twice. Same one.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Eddie
That's crazy, man.
Bobby Bones
And the least happy city is oh, man. Ah, the lease.
Lunchbox
Baltimore, Detroit. Oh, close.
Amy
I thought it.
Eddie
I thought they were in the up, up and up.
Lunchbox
Yeah, I kind of redid it.
Bobby Bones
They have. They're rebuilding downtown.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Maybe people aren't happy about that. The noise, the construction noise. Happiest cities. And most of the happy cities that I've noticed when they do these lists are like smaller suburbs of big cities at 10. San Jose, California.
Lunchbox
That's a good city.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it is good. It's bay.
Lunchbox
It's beautiful.
Bobby Bones
It's bay. It's not. If you don't like San Francisco, which I do. You still get that vibe? Gilbert, Arizona, at 9. No idea. Irvine, California at 8. I don't. I don't know where that is.
Amy
That's by Orange county, kind of. Right?
Bobby Bones
I don't know where that is.
Eddie
Don't know.
Bobby Bones
Amy's right. Scoop is dead. Did you guys hear Scuba? Just in my ear.
Eddie
No, just you. He does that to you all the time. I can see.
Bobby Bones
I never know. Charleston, South Carolina, at 7. Overland Park, Kansas. Morgan, where's that?
Amy
It's Kansas City, right outside of Kansas City. It's really cool. It's a really nice suburb area.
Bobby Bones
Oh, rich people. Of course they're happy.
Amy
Of course they're happy.
Eddie
They're good. They're good. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Fargo, North Dakota at 5. Hey, look, shout out North Dakota, but too cold.
Lunchbox
Ain't no way south.
Bobby Bones
Burlington, Vermont. Sounds like a coat.
Eddie
Burlington Coat Factory.
Bobby Bones
That's why. I wonder if that's where it's from.
Eddie
Maybe.
Bobby Bones
Number three. Scottsdale, Arizona. Love it. You want to see some exotic cars? Like fancy cars, Rich cars, rich people. That's there. Oh, Burlington, New Jersey. Bismarck, North Dakota too.
Lunchbox
What?
Bobby Bones
Good for you guys. Way too cold there for me. Number one happiest city is Fremont, California.
Lunchbox
Never heard of it.
Bobby Bones
Scuba, that's in the San Francisco Bay area.
Lunchbox
It is a beautiful city.
Eddie
It's other side of the bay of San Jose.
Bobby Bones
What's your relationship like with San Francisco since you live there?
Eddie
I love that city, man, the best.
Bobby Bones
I know people talk crap about it because it's had a downfall post Covid,
Lunchbox
but even that, it's just such an amazing city as far as the culture,
Eddie
the food, the people, the sights. I still have family there.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I. I live there tomorrow if I could.
Eddie
Yeah, man. I fell in love with that city when we went.
Lunchbox
So beautiful.
Eddie
The fact that people are riding mopeds around and scooters and like, it's just awesome. The hills and everything. I used to live in the city
Bobby Bones
and it Was just.
Eddie
It was such a vibrant, cool city.
Lunchbox
The hills loved them.
Bobby Bones
The hills were hardcore. It came in the best shape of my life. I. I love them. You, let's say you get to go live in any city right now. Where, where do you go? Scuba. San Francisco. You would go back there? Oh yeah, for sure. If I could live. Yeah. In like the. Near Golden Gate Park. Somewhere over there by the.
Eddie
By the ocean.
Bobby Bones
Count me in, dude.
Amy
Amy, I am all over the place with my answer.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it's okay. I just wonder where you are today.
Amy
Today I'm. I'm gonna stay here.
Bobby Bones
You don't have to move, by the way. You can pick here too. Okay.
Amy
Okay, then I'll stay. Cuz that I feel like I need to be put. Stay put. Right now in my mind, I'm all over the place. I'm like, oh, I'm moving to a tiny town in Colorado with my sister. But then I'm like, no, I want to go to New York City. It's like polar opposite.
Eddie
Too much.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Lunchbox
You don't like.
Bobby Bones
I don't visit that.
Amy
Visit that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no, but wherever. So you'd stay here?
Amy
I'll stay put, Eddie.
Eddie
Key West, Florida.
Bobby Bones
Oh yeah, that's his new library.
Eddie
I mean I'm in love with that place. Take me to Key west today. And I believe my family would love that too. Like they would love to move with
Bobby Bones
me, but that was secondary in your whole explanation.
Eddie
Well, for sure they have to follow me. Morgan.
Amy
Oh, Denver. I would move to Denver in heartbeat.
Bobby Bones
The mountains are close enough.
Amy
You can go adventure. But Denver's a big town. Everybody's really nice. I love Denver a lot.
Bobby Bones
Lunchbox.
Lunchbox
Austin, Texas.
Bobby Bones
Back home.
Lunchbox
Back home. See ya.
Bobby Bones
You don't have to see.
Amy
I always thought I would go back.
Kimberly Perry
Always.
Amy
Like that's my home too. And now I don't.
Eddie
Well, you don't have family there really, do you?
Lunchbox
Yeah, that's the difference.
Bobby Bones
You don't have to like. Well, Eddie said it and let's just rub stamped it. Rubber stamped that. I was just kind of like, you don't have family. Like you sure don't. Stupid.
Lunchbox
That was the difference.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lunchbox. Your parents are both alive and mine are dead.
Bobby Bones
You guys go hard today.
Lunchbox
No, Eddie didn't. I was just.
Eddie
No, I was just stating like that's probably why you don't have family.
Amy
I. I feel the compassion, first of all. I'm joking. I get it. And lunchbox. I get it. Yes. Like, I think it makes sense. Like you have family there. So that's exactly it. But I would have thought, even if my family wasn't there, I always felt so strongly about Austin that I would return no matter what. And now I. I go every May for our country festival, and it's good.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I would go back to Fabo. Not back. I'd go to Fayetteville and have season tickets. Everything. I said this a million times.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
After everything, so.
Amy
But honestly, it's cooler there than people think I ever thought.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Because it's. There's, like, three cities. They're all near each other. Three towns.
Amy
Yeah. What's the Walmart?
Bobby Bones
Bentonville.
Amy
Bentonville.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's great. I don't want you guys to come,
Amy
so I'll say, too, I'm gonna go to Kansas. Coming up.
Eddie
Cool and cool.
Amy
No, I'm gonna go do my own little retreat on a cattle farm in Kansas.
Bobby Bones
By yourself?
Amy
No, no, no, no, no. Our friend Chase or my friend Chase, but y' all know him. They. His family has a beef farm there, and I'm gonna go. His mom said I could come anytime. Like, his brothers, they work it, like, full time. But I want to go have that experience, like, on horseback and with cows, and I'm gonna like Kansas. I feel like that's another place that's, like, similar to Fayetteville. Like, you're saying, like, it's underrated.
Bobby Bones
No, I didn't say it was underrated. It's awesome.
Amy
No, I feel like people think certain parts of Arkansas, they don't understand how beautiful they are. Like, there's a lot of.
Bobby Bones
You said that. Like, people don't.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
All I said was awesome.
Amy
Here's my thing. I will admit I think Arkansas and Kansas, in my mind, aren't that.
Bobby Bones
Shut up. Shut up.
Lunchbox
Oh, God.
Bobby Bones
I don't like where we're going. I don't like you right now.
Amy
Misinterpretation. They are beautiful. Like, that's on me.
Eddie
Yeah. Okay, but you're saying everyone thinks that. It's not.
Amy
I think a lot of people.
Eddie
Interesting.
Bobby Bones
Okay, now that's you being mean again. Okay. Anyway, they're beautiful. Get us out of here, Ray. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead. Story of the day.
Lunchbox
This story comes to us from Pittsville, Wisconsin. 911 got a call about a medical emergency in an apartment building. They respond. They have the patient in the back, and some guy comes out of his apartment naked and is like, huh? Amblance sitting there, jumps in the front and takes it for a joyride.
Bobby Bones
The fact that he's naked, you know, he's drunk. Or on something. What if you're the patient in the back and you look up and you're like, well, okay, I guess I'm going to the hospital. What the heck?
Lunchbox
But the paramedics were in the back with the patient.
Bobby Bones
Oh, they were? Yeah.
Lunchbox
And they. He drove it for like 45 minutes through different counties, leading on a high speed chase before he crashed.
Amy
Oh, that's terrifying.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, it was much funnier until the crash and the chase.
Lunchbox
Well, no, no one was hurt.
Bobby Bones
Oh, okay. All right. There you go.
Lunchbox

Main Theme:
A lively, fast-paced episode covering everyday dilemmas (like accidental Venmo payments), viral trends (worst first date restaurants), parental debates, heartfelt good news, and classic pop culture/game segments—all with the show's trademark humor and camaraderie.
The show dives into real-life quandaries (accidental money on Venmo: keep it or return it?), viral discussions about “bad” first date spots, and the ongoing debate of parental boundaries—specifically, does it make Eddie a "bad dad" to use streaming services his own son paid for? The episode features a candid interview with Kimberly Perry of The Band Perry, fun games on TV best friends and country lyrics, and their regular “Tell Me Something Good” segment full of heartwarming stories.
[02:59-06:47]

Memorable moment: Joking about possible scams with “Sugar Daddy Daryl.”
[15:35-20:18]
Amy shares a virally circulated list of restaurant chains women allegedly reject for first dates.
The male cast is “triggered,” defending every place.

Shoutout to 16-year-old Connor Wright, who began delivering “kindness kits” (games, toys) to local hospitalized and shelter kids; now up to 16,000 kits and operating out of a warehouse.
“He started this back in 2021, and since then he has delivered over 16,000 kits...which is crazy.” — Amy (25:37)
Bobby: “That is what it’s all about.” (25:45)
