Key Segments & Insights

1. "Bathroom Confessions" with Lunchbox

[03:00–07:18]

• Segment: Lunchbox goes into a public bathroom, sits in a stall, and starts conversations with strangers to elicit “confessions.”
• Highlights:
  • Most interactions end awkwardly, often with confusion over whether he’s sharing confessions or just asking for advice.
  • Example prompts: Considering a threesome with his wife and sister-in-law; thinking his mom is attractive; receiving topless pictures from his sister-in-law.
  • “I want to invite my assistant line. But you’re asking for advice…” (D at 04:52)
• Team Reaction: The team finds the segment weird and uncomfortable, questioning its premise and its emotional impact.
• Quote:

  “That segment just kind of weirds me out a little bit. It doesn't leave me feeling good at the end for some reason.” – Bobby [07:18]

---

2. Parenting Mailbag: Bringing Extra Kids to Parties

[07:45–13:17]

• Prompt: Listener asks if it’s okay to bring an extra, uninvited sibling to a child’s birthday party.
• Amy: Strong "no," says it’s common sense not to do so. If there’s extra cost, should offer to cover it, but always ask first.
• Bobby: Agrees, suggests making rules explicit on party invitations; learning lesson for next time.

  “You would think that’s known. A rational, normal human would go, I can't just bring an extra kid to a party because there are resources at this party.” – Bobby [09:17]

• Eddie: Shares his own experience; sometimes brings uninvited siblings, but pays for their participation. Finds it annoying when extra kids appear at his own events.
• Lunchbox: Advocates setting boundaries by stating rules clearly and asking parents to pay for uninvited siblings; recounts his own “all in” party confusion.
• Humor: Debate about the meaning of “explicit” and whether to use that word on kid invites.

---

3. Amy and Eddie Meet Bobby’s Baby

[13:21–19:43]

• Backstory: Amy and Eddie tried to visit but were kept away initially due to pediatrician guidance (no kids, no one just off a plane, or sick).
• Emotional Reactions:
  • Amy is overwhelmed with happiness and sentimentality for Bobby’s journey to parenthood:

    “I can't stop smiling on the inside. Like, I'm still picturing you hold... you hold it like a little football.” – Amy [15:08]

  • Eddie notes Bobby’s natural comfort with the baby, admires his adaptation to fatherhood.
• Physical Description:
  • The team notes how tiny the baby is, with newborn clothes still “swallowing her.”
  • Joke about “for show” babies that look exactly like their dads.
• Heartfelt Moment:

  "Just even saying, dude, you’re holding your daughter is a crazy thing.” – Eddie [17:54]

---

4. New Dad Q&A: Bobby Answers Baby Questions

[19:43–22:42]

• Bobby’s Feelings:
  • Says his wife feels “micro-feelings” for every moment while he carries “macro-feelings”—focused on long-term responsibility and providing a stable home.
  • Candidly discusses old fears of not being able to provide, his mindset shaped by his own childhood.

  “My pressure, though, comes from a lifetime of having to provide, not only money, but also presence.” – Bobby [22:38]

  • Praises his wife’s presence, self-awareness, and healthy adjustment to motherhood.
• Team encouragement: Amy and Eddie reassure Bobby that he’s “good on the money” and should focus on being present.

---

5. Baby Anecdotes: Bobby’s ‘Big Mistake’ Before Birth

[27:26–34:00]

• Skin-to-Skin Prep: Bobby, hearing skin-to-skin contact is important, shaves his entire chest before heading to the hospital:

  “I shaved my entire chest… I want to make sure that she’s not skinning, like, some gross chest hair.” – Bobby [27:41]

  • Team jokily “parent-shames” him for the move, noting chest stubble would be more annoying, but Bobby stands by his choice.
  • Compares shaved skin to “massaging through a sweatshirt vs. with the shirt off.”
  • Ends up with itchy regrowing hair and an ingrown hair, but no regrets.
• Delivery Room Stories:
  • Hospital nurses called newborn goo “cheese.”
  • Bobby hears about “the husband stitch” (an extra stitch after birth, sometimes requested by dads as a joke) and finds it both inappropriate and hilarious later:

    “That ain’t the time.” – Bobby [33:17]

---

6. Health & Life Hacks: Gallon of Water Challenge

[34:22–38:33]

• Eddie: Gets inspired by TikTok to drink a gallon of water a day for seven days, hoping to feel more energetic, clear-headed, and healthy.
• Group Discussion: Everyone’s tried it, agrees the main hurdle is constant need to pee and inconvenience, not inspiration.
  • Amy introduces the TikTok tip: take a pinch of salt (Celtic or Himalayan) before drinking, to aid hydration.

  “Discipline is hard work.” – Bobby [36:41]

• Humor: Jokes about having to carry around a salt shaker.

---

7. Guest Interview: Avery Anna

[38:36–43:50]

• Background:
  • Moved to Nashville at age 17 after going viral singing in her bathtub during COVID lockdown.
  • Shared the emotional rollercoaster after viral success, adapting from private music to professional career.

  “If your next video only gets a thousand views rather than 2 million views, it's like, oh, if this gave me my success, could it also take it away?” – Avery Anna [39:55]

• Conversations:
  • Talks about comparisons to Megan Moroney, Taylor Swift, and others.
  • Explains her own artistic identity as fluid rather than defined by a single genre.
  • Candid conversation about “bathroom etiquette” on tour buses, acknowledges “girls poop too”—with potential for a comedy song.

[A]

Transmitting across America. Welcome to Tuesday's show, Morning Studio. Morning. So we're back with Bathroom Confessions. So Lunchbox goes into a public bathroom and records people, but not filming them.

[D]

Right, right, right, yeah. No film.

[A]

You sit down in a stall next

[D]

to them, and then I knock on the door, the stall next to me, you know, if I'm in the middle, stall one, stall two, whatever. And I just talk about life, ask them questions. If they want to talk to me about life. It's just sort of a moment to confess.

[A]

It's like a fashion. You're a Catholic? Yeah, it's basically that in a public bathroom.

[D]

But I'm not a priest. Whoa.

[A]

Oh, you're not? No. What bathroom were you in?

[D]

Airport bathroom.

[A]

In what city?

[D]

Fort Lauderdale.

[A]

Okay, here we go. Number one, stall four.

[D]

What's up? Install three. Same old, same old. I got a question for you, man. All right, so my wife, you know, she has a sister and I. I mean, I think her sister kind of digs me too. So, like, how could I ask my wife if we could try it, like, together, like, all three of us? Yeah. You don't think that'll like, ruin anything? How would you do it? I would do what?

[A]

I would.

[D]

Why not? That's not the way I roll. Yeah, but what? Like, should I text her sister first or should I ask my wife first? I don't know. Are you leaving?

[A]

I'm leaving. I'm done. Well, so I have a question. They're not confessing to you anything. You're asking them advice. This is called, like, toilet advice.

[D]

No, no, it's my confession. It's sort of like I. Sometimes. Sometimes they do. Sometimes it turns around and they do confess things to me, but I feel

[A]

like you weren't confessing, you were just asking for advice. There's

[B]

so bathroom.

[E]

Ask for advice.

[A]

Not a good title. We can work on that.

[D]

But.

[A]

Okay, let's try another one. I get it. Let's try another one.

[D]

Well, my confession is. I want to invite my assistant line.

[A]

But you're asking for advice, but it's

[D]

like I'm trying to get that. I'm confessing. I have these thoughts.

[A]

Okay, interesting. Next one up, Stall four.

[D]

What's up? It's stall three.

[B]

What's happening?

[D]

Is it weird that I think my mom's hot?

[F]

Oh, God.

[A]

Stall four.

[D]

No, no. You? I, I, I just. I don't know. I feel kind of weird about it. Did you ever think your mom was hot? No. Like, do you think I should tell my mom I find her attractive, or. No, like, I don't want a weird. Like, I, I, I don't know. I get the feeling you think it's weird. Is this something I should keep to myself? Yeah, man. Are you leaving? Did you leave stall four?

[A]

That guy had a big belt. Yeah, yeah, that's more of a confession. Let's try one more. Okay. All right. Go ahead, Ray.

[D]

Stall four. What's up? It's stall three, slow. How's it going, man? Good. How's it going, man? I got a question. Go for it. So my sister in law sent me a topless picture. She said, miss you, and I don't know if she meant to send it to me or if, like, that's her way of hitting on me. And I don't know what to do.

[A]

Like, the only reasonable explanation is to

[D]

send the topless picture back and say, you think so?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

But, like, don't you think that's, like, interfering with my brother's marriage or, like, Oh, you think so, huh?

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Are you leaving? Stall four. You still there?

[A]

A couple things. One, I think he's Irish or something. Okay. Two, everybody washes their hands. They gotta shout them out because every single person has washed their hands. Unless they're just creating camouflage to get

[E]

out of the room.

[A]

Were people on the cruise when you were on it? Were they like, oh, they were begging for.

[D]

They're like, hey, do Bathroom Confessions. They wanted me to do it on the ship. And I was like, guys, I can't do it on the ship because everybody will know. And also, those bathrooms on the ship, they were like Fort Knox. They were so enclosed, there's no way I could have heard someone through the wall. They were really nice bathrooms.

[A]

Yeah, that segment just kind of weirds me out a little bit. It doesn't leave me feeling good at the end for some reason. But that's Bathroom Confessions. And now we're good until, like, June.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[F]

Bones.

[A]

It's the anonymous.

[D]

Hello, Bobby.

[A]

Bones. My son recently had a birthday party, and we invited exactly nine kids from his class. Because it was almost 50 bucks ahead for the facility where we held the party. One parent showed up with the invited child and an older sibling we hadn't planned for and just assumed it was fine for both kids to say to stay. I understand the child care logistics can be tricky, but it also felt a little presumptuous. Is it ever okay to bring an extra sibling to a kid's party without asking first? Signed party parent. Amy, you want to go first?

[B]

Yeah, this answer is real quick. No. No, it's not okay to bring a child that you haven't asked about. No, you bring the child that was invited. If you're curious if the sibling can come. That's definitely a conversation beforehand, and it's definitely a. I'll. I'm sure there's an expense. So I know this is not part of the invite, but if he could stay, like, I'll gladly buy his ticket or whatever it is.

[A]

What should she have done?

[B]

I mean, I'm gonna probably just chalk it up as a, I gotta allow this to happen because I don't want anything to be awkward, and it's one kid, and I don't want the kid to feel really weird, but maybe have a talk with the parent after if I feel like it. Or just know that next year, if I invite that same kid, I need to be very clear about who can come, because I just don't feel like it's my responsibility to teach that other adult how to live life. Because this is so common sense to me, but I guess to some people, it's just not.

[A]

I would think the learning lesson would be as a fellow parent.

[F]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[E]

This is crazy. Yeah.

[A]

As a fellow parent, I would think the learning lesson would be to put on the invitation the rules of the party. If the rules of the party are it's costing money for every kid, so don't bring any extra kids. You would think that's known. A rational, normal human would go, I can't just bring an extra kid to a party because there are resources at this party. So. But next year it's, hey, only the invited kid can come. You put that as, like, a little asterisk. Yeah, that would be my thought on this. But, yeah, I don't think you say anything about it because that.

[B]

Yeah, it's like, I'm not. I'm not responsible for this person and how they choose to live life if they want to keep doing this to other people. Okay. But, yeah, I learned my lesson for next year, Eddie.

[E]

I've been on both Ends of this. So I've taken my kids to other people's parties before. I do it all the time. I don't ever expect them to eat their pizza or participate in whatever they're doing. I'll buy them their own ticket. But, yeah, like, I take.

[A]

Oh, so if you go to, like, Chuck E. Cheese.

[E]

Say we go to Chuck E. Cheese. Like, I will. Whoever's invited to the party. All right, Go have fun. The two other ones, I'll go buy pizza separately at another table. They can eat, they can play games. I can pay for them.

[A]

But they're not at the party, though.

[D]

Fair.

[A]

They're not taking your kids to the place. Correct.

[E]

But sometimes the parents will be like, hey, they can come join the party. It's fine. Like, we have plenty of food, and if that happens, cool. It's a plus. But I've also been the one throwing the party. And then here comes, you know, four kids that I didn't invite, and I'm the parent that's just like, all right, just get another pizza. Get another.

[A]

Is that annoying to you?

[E]

Yeah, super annoying.

[B]

Okay. Yeah. But you're saying that you've even done that where the parents see your kids. What if they're like. You're like, no, no, I got it. I already paid for their pizza. But they don't know. They see your other kids over there sitting by themselves. So they have to be like, o, okay, they can come join us.

[E]

It's kind of part of it, man. You know, like, if you're the one throwing the party, it's annoying.

[B]

But Also, dang, like, $50 ahead for a party. Legit.

[A]

What are you having at the Taj Mahal?

[F]

Right?

[A]

Lunchbox your thoughts.

[D]

Yeah, this happened to us recently. My kid turned 6, and we had a little get together, and we said, no siblings allowed. We put it on the invitation, and people still showed up with siblings. And when they went to check in, I was like, oh, no, you, the sibling, you have to go check in at that counter, told the parent, because that's where you pay. You got to say something. If you want to set a boundary, set a boundary. When they show up, you tell them you can pay over there.

[A]

Do you feel like this is a little hypocritical of you? Who takes, like, your kids everywhere when they're not invited?

[D]

I've never taken my kids anywhere they're not invited. I ask to take them everywhere, and sometimes I do get rejected, but, you know, I. I'm gonna always shoot my shot. Sort of like the cruise. I asked Could I bring my kids on the cruise? You said no. Guess what? My kids weren't on the cruise, unfortunately.

[A]

Wasn't there, like, a number one party they took all of his kids to?

[D]

No, it was Chris Jansen. I won. It said all family or all in.

[A]

And no, I didn't say all family. His album was called All In. All In.

[D]

Yeah. That's what I mean. So that means all in.

[A]

No, that's the name of his album, and the.

[D]

The party was called all in because

[A]

that's the name of his album.

[D]

If you're gonna do a play on words, you got to be careful what you're doing. The play on words. And so I RSVP for all in. All in. My family will come to your all in party. And they didn't let me in.

[A]

So all weren't in. You're saying all weren't in.

[D]

So that's what I'm saying. You have to be explicit when you send out the invitation. Say, no siblings allowed, except.

[A]

Yeah, that'll work.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

That's the right word.

[E]

Isn't that, like, a bad word? Like, this song uses bad words can be, like, explicit lyrics.

[A]

It can be. Let's see.

[E]

Let's.

[A]

Let's look up explicit. Because it didn't.

[E]

It feels coming out of him.

[B]

It felt at the kids party. I gotta be explicit.

[A]

I'm on Lunchbox's team. By the way, before I read this.

[B]

Okay, I knew you.

[A]

Here we go. Explicit refers to information that is fully revealed, clearly expressed, and unambiguous, leaving no doubt about the meaning.

[B]

You're right.

[A]

It's weird being teamed up with you, but I'm with you.

[B]

You are, right.

[D]

Thank you. Welcome to the right side.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

Okay, Amy, open a dictionary every once in a while.

[B]

Hey, I. I am. Than to now know.

[A]

There you go. All right. Thank you. That's the mailbag. Close it up. We're doing the show today from the studio at my house. And so my wife just brought our baby down, and both Amy and Eddie, while I was gone, had texted my wife, and they're like, hey, I want to come over and meet your baby. And we had plans to do it both times, but then we went to the pediatrician, which they make you go within, like, the first two days of birth. Like, I. I should say the first two days you're home. So we go to the hospital, and the pediatrician put the fear of God in us, and she was like, do not let your baby be near anybody who gets off an airplane or who may be sick. Like, you Can.

[B]

Let's. Kids.

[A]

No, can't bring the kids is what my wife said.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay.

[A]

Because kids have a lot of germs.

[B]

Oh, that. That's right. Because my son wanted to meet the baby, too.

[A]

She was like, no kids, because they have a lot of germs. Nobody that's been traveling and nobody that's sick. And so both of you guys were like, we want to come over and meet the baby. And Amy was coming right off a plane in Austin doing the Podcast Awards. And my wife's like, the pediatrician just scared us. We. You can't come right now off an airplane. And Amy's like, I get it. Then Eddie and his wife were going to come over, and they both were like, we. We have. We think it's an allergy.

[E]

Yeah, I had a headache all morning. I just don't feel good about this.

[A]

So you guys didn't end up coming over, but my wife just walked down during that break and brought the baby down. Amy, thoughts?

[B]

I. I'm sort of have this feeling inside of me I can't explain, which is weird. It's like this.

[A]

Like, is that pre menopause you're talking about?

[B]

No.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

No, but watching you hold baby Billy, like, I. It's like this giddiness inside of me that's so happy for y'.

[C]

All.

[B]

And it's weird because it's not. Obviously, it's not my baby. I think the last time I felt like something like this, maybe when my sister had little babies, which was a long time ago, because her kids are all, like, 18, 19, 20, 21. But to someone that I've known and cared about for so long, like, watching you become a dad, I. I don't know. It's like I can't stop smiling on the inside. Like, I'm still picturing you hold. Like, you hold it like a little football.

[A]

No, she's tiny. Did you guys expect her to be so tiny?

[E]

Not that tiny, Mike.

[A]

No. Little football is crazy.

[B]

I mean, I don't know. I'm just overwhelmed with a lot of feelings for. For you and for Caitlin. I think for you, though, mostly right now, because growing up with you, like, knowing you since we were in our early 20s, and, like, we've all gone through the parenting phases, but not you. And it's like, oh, Bobby finally made it. Like, he's a. He's. He's. He's an adult now. Like, he's there. Like he's a dad. I know, but this is just hitting right. Like, it's like, seeing him be a dad and be a dad, especially now. I don't want to get completely sappy, but, like, you didn't have a dad, and, like, you're going to be an amazing dad to her. And, like, I know that, and I can feel it. And y' all are both going to be wonderful parents. It's just that. I don't know. Is there. Eddie, are you having any of the feelings that I'm sharing?

[E]

I know exactly what you're talking about.

[B]

Thank you. And I think it's feeling crazy.

[E]

I think what I'm mostly surprised at is how comfortable you are with a newborn baby. Like, I remember when I got my first newborn baby. I'm like, I don't know what to do there.

[A]

That was it. But I've had her for two weeks now.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

So that was how I felt. Whenever it was like, this is your baby. I was like, oh, do I touch it? Like, I don't want to drop it at this point because we've been in a bubble for the past two weeks. Obviously, we were back yesterday on yesterday's show, But I've had to do a lot with the baby. Bathe the baby, feed the baby, you know, ever be a part of all of it, Change the baby, all that. So I think I've gotten more comfortable with it to where. Yeah. Now my wife's just like, here, you take her for a second. No problem. Yeah, but she's so small. Like, her head fits so very easily into my palm where my fingers can go around her head. Like, she's so small that she can still wear preemie clothes. Like, if she wears newborn clothes that they're still a little big, they still swallow her a little bit. But you just met her for the first time. Thoughts?

[E]

She's so beautiful.

[A]

Yeah, but you have to say that about every baby.

[E]

No, it's not true.

[A]

It's like somebody with a new haircut.

[B]

Yeah, but it's not safe.

[E]

You know, like, when you hear songs sometimes and you're just like, that's a really good song. And then sometimes you're just, like, awesome, man. Good stuff.

[A]

Like.

[E]

Like. No, I really mean it. She is so beautiful. Like, and seeing you with her and seeing you carry your. I don't know. I'm like, Amy's thinking, like, your. Your life is changing, like, right now for the best, and, like, it's gonna be so cool. And just watching you with your daughter, like, just even saying, dude, you're holding your daughter is a crazy thing. And I'm Just so happy for you. I'm happy for you. I'm happy for you and Caitlin. I just think the whole thing is pretty amazing.

[A]

Do you think she looked like me when she was down here?

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

That's your, she's your 100.

[A]

Don't be so hardcore about it. I don't want her to look like me. You don't have to, like, commit that hard.

[E]

The nurses call that a for show, baby.

[B]

Yeah. Like, there's no doubt that you're the dad.

[E]

You're the dad, dude.

[B]

That's good.

[A]

Yeah, of course. There's no doubt. I, I, I would.

[B]

Not all men have that.

[A]

I know. I would prefer, I would prefer she look like her mom more.

[E]

I think she probably will. She probably will.

[B]

Yeah. Like, yeah, I think the hair and like, the.

[A]

I see it in the eyes.

[B]

Yeah, I do too. In the eyes.

[A]

Very much so.

[E]

The hair, dude.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[E]

She's so lucky. You got your hair. She got your hair.

[A]

There's so much hair. Mike, thoughts? When she opened her eyes and looked at me, I was like, that's Bobby looking at me. That was crazy. I, I can only explain it that, like, my heart is smiling right now. That's what Amy said. Like, seeing you standing there with your wife and your baby, I just had this crazy snapshot in my head knowing you for so many years that it just feels like these emotions I've never felt. I'm so happy for you guys. I felt like you were all my children.

[E]

Yeah. For a long time.

[B]

Okay, that's weird. But, yeah, that's a, like our. Yeah, just like a smile all over the place.

[A]

Any questions? Give me a question that you have. You can ask any question about the baby. What do you have? Because I know you said you had so many questions.

[E]

I do have so many questions. And you answered a bunch. But I think my, I want to know, like, if you're like, what are you feeling? Like, what are you mostly feeling? Are you happy? Are you scared? Are you like, what is it?

[A]

I think my wife feels micro feelings for every moment, every second. She has taken to it like a duck to water. She loves it. She gets concerned. When the baby was had, like a, had goop in its eye, and she was like, I'm scared something's wrong with her eye. And it turns out, you know, she was born a little early, so her tear ducts weren't fully formed. Now they're pretty much fully formed. My wife feels for every little thing and is so, like, sad or happy, she has micro feelings. I think I have macro feelings where it's like, I got to make sure this kid's able to eat, go to college. Like, the pressure to me is that I was always scared of having a baby, like, at any time, because I wouldn't be able to afford the baby, because I don't think. Well, I know my parents were teenagers. They couldn't afford me, so I never wanted that to happen. So my feelings are mostly like providing, being present. Those are what I'm attached to, more so than every second of the day. And I also, I think, you know, in situations where people are emotional, people fall into different roles. And because my wife is very emotional all the time, I have to be the one that kind of takes a step back and can regulate myself, but can also be the voice of reason at times. If she's a, you know, feeling a little too much about something to be like, no, no, it's literally okay. I've looked this up. This is what it says. So all the positive things, for sure. But my feeling is more. It's more grand in that I got, like, 40, 50 years to take care of. Yeah. For this very small organism, more so than every five seconds. But we have that covered, too, for my wife. So, yeah, that's my feeling. Mostly. I just am, like, so happy that my wife, one, is feeling better and two, loves it so much because. And then also she's very present about how she feels because, you know, a lot of women go through different postpartum. You know, they call it the baby blues. And my wife is just always so present, like, what am I feeling? Why am I feeling it? Do I need to. Do I need to address this? And so she's so present. Like, I'm so happy for that. So. Yes, to answer your question, very happy. My pressure, though, comes from a lifetime of having to provide not only money, but also presence. Yeah. So that. That's. That's where it is.

[B]

You're good on the money.

[A]

Oh, for now. You never know.

[D]

You're good.

[A]

Why are you taking shots?

[B]

No, I. I just.

[E]

Hey, you have to worry about that.

[B]

I'm just like, focus on being present. You're good.

[E]

Like, you're good on that part.

[B]

Like, instead of making it two problems, make it one.

[A]

That's not the.

[B]

I. You know how they say you get to a point where, like, your money probably just starts making money? Like, that's. You're.

[A]

Like, you're good, but you don't know. I could have gambled it all the way. Oh, you're right.

[F]

I did.

Yeah.

[A]

We'll do one other baby segment today. So skin to skin is important when the baby comes out. You guys heard that? Yes, I was told that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

So before we go to the hospital, I shaved my entire chest.

[B]

Wait a second.

[E]

Come on.

[B]

Wait. What?

[E]

Stop.

[B]

Why? Then it's gonna get prickly. Ew.

[E]

And then you're giving your baby the wrong impression.

[B]

Ye. Yeah.

[A]

You guys are parent shaming.

[B]

Yes. Okay, tell us.

[E]

Go ahead. Go ahead.

[B]

Finish your story.

[A]

You guys are what you claim to. Not like parent shamers.

[B]

No, just friend shamers.

[A]

Go ahead. Okay. So I knew we were going in, and I have a. Like, a clipper that clips all the way down. And I'm thinking, well, if I'm going to do skin to skin, and we're about to head to the hospital, I want to make sure that she's not skinning, like, some gross chest hair.

[F]

Okay.

[A]

And so that's what I do. I take me go down. Yeah. And while I was in there, I did a little armpit and so I want her to have fresh skin, not through the hair.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

It. It'd be like giving someone a massage through a sweatshirt versus if they don't have their shirt on.

[E]

You have that much hair?

[A]

Well, no, but there's enough, though, to affect it.

[B]

I don't think. Think so. You're not an overly hairy shirtless dude.

[E]

You're not like Tom Selleck or anything.

[B]

Maybe that's because he.

[A]

What a reference. What a reference. I did trim it. No, I mean, yeah. Trimmed it just all the way off. And it was good. Except now it is itching so bad.

[E]

Cuz. Growing out.

[A]

Growing out. And now I got like a ingrown hair on my chest. Oh. Which is basically a pimple like thing. And it hurts so bad. So I don't regret it because I think the baby got pure skin.

[B]

You gave her a good experience.

[A]

Yeah. With no hair, but so I wore a. Like a sweatsuit with a zip with no shirt underneath it with all the way zipped up. Because they were like, you got to go skin to skin as soon as it's over, so you got to be ready.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I just unzipped it and tucked the baby's feet in and zipped it up a little bit and then had like, the baby on my freshly shaved chest.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And that was the decision that I made, and I'm happy about it. Except now it is definitely itching. It's itching a little bit. And they were like, do you want us to clean her off before she comes to your chest? Like bat. And I was like, is it. You know what they call it on a baby? Cheese?

[E]

What that.

[B]

Is it spelled like cheese?

[A]

I don't think that's a scientific term.

[E]

Just they just what they call it.

[A]

They're like, there's cheese on the baby when it comes out.

[B]

Like the goo.

[E]

Yeah, like the fluid stuff.

[B]

Why do they call it cheese?

[A]

I thought that was gross. Is it.

[E]

Does it kind of look like cheese?

[B]

And Bobby's like, I'm lactose intolerant.

[A]

I can't do that. I can't have cheese.

[E]

That's funny, Amy.

[A]

It. I felt like they did a. I said, no. I like, whatever you guys think is best is fine. This is all Caitlyn too. Whatever is best is fine. I feel like they did like, a small wipe before they handed her to me. It was. But they gave her to Caitlyn first. And so. And we have a video of it. I'm not gonna put up on. On socials or anything. I shot a video of It. They allowed that.

[E]

That's cool.

[A]

I didn't know if they'd allow you to make videos in the room, but I just pulled my phone out, and when they handed it to Caitlyn, I have. I'm so used to saying it about the baby, so you're gonna have to give me a little bit of.

[B]

I think all of us, like, we know it's a her, but for so many months, we've been having to avoid that.

[A]

Except for Eddie.

[E]

Day one, that's not.

[A]

Do we need to do this?

[E]

We don't need to do it.

[D]

It.

[E]

We don't even talk about.

[A]

Wasn't even a thing day one.

[B]

I think it was a misunderstanding.

[A]

It wasn't because he knew what he did. I said it day one. Eddie said her.

[B]

And all the listeners caught on.

[A]

And the list.

[E]

Not all of them. Some of them.

[B]

Both the ones with ears.

[E]

I felt like, oh, my God. That was. That might have been one of the worst days of my life. Going home all day thinking about, are you idiot? Like, why would you.

[A]

Because Eddie said she. I think what it was.

[B]

We were talking about athleticism.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I was like, hey, my wife's pregnant. I think that's when we announced it on the show. Because if she was like, four months pregnant or something, and Eddie's like, yeah, she's gonna be such an athlete. And my wife, who never listens live, but it came up on her Instagram, like, the live. So she hit it because we. She knew we were talking about this, and she said. Eddie just said, it's a girl. She text me. And I was like, oh, no.

[E]

And then you texted me. And I'm like, Like, no, I didn't. And then we went back and listened, like, I sure did.

[A]

Yeah. And we had to scrub it. We scrubbed it from the side.

[E]

Terrible.

[A]

And then Eddie takes Kayla's like, I'm sorry. She's like, it's not a big deal. You did it on purpose. Yeah, that's so.

[E]

Yeah. To. To your point. Like, it's hard to say.

[A]

It's hard. Right? So when I say it, I'm just breaking a habit of us saying it for a long time.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But did skin to skin inside the jumpsuit? I'm not sure where that jumpsuit is now. It wasn't, like, gross because you're just cheese. You're just in the moment. Yeah. You want to know something else that I heard from the nurse? I. I think I can say on the broadcast part of the show. And I've laughed about it, but I Would not laugh about it in the situation. She said sometimes after a woman gives birth and they're sewing her back up, that sometimes she's been in there with guys and they've said, hey, why don't you put a little. One extra stitch in there for me?

[B]

Ew.

[E]

What are you talking about?

[A]

They call it the husband stitch.

[E]

They requ. They. They requested.

[A]

What's a joke?

[B]

Is it, though?

[E]

No, that's great. That's messed up. Like, not the time and place.

[A]

Have you ever heard that before?

[E]

Never.

[A]

I haven't either, but.

[E]

But they must. It must have happened at some point for them to even.

[A]

No, no. She said that. People have said that.

[E]

That is crazy.

[B]

Yeah. I mean.

[A]

Or saying it, like, before.

[B]

Like, I get it, but it's just creeping me out.

[A]

Even I. And my wife and I joke around a lot together. Like, we bust each other's chops a lot. That ain't the time. No.

[B]

You want to say what she said? Well, I don't know. That's between y'. All, But I think it'd be okay to say, which is so funny, to show, like, her personality.

[F]

How would.

[B]

She just texted you about being back at work.

[A]

No, no. Oh, I don't. No.

[B]

No, not now. That is hilarious, though.

[E]

Yeah, that's funny.

[A]

At some point, I'll be able. Yeah, my wife and I. My wife has a dark sense of humor. Like, I do.

[B]

Yeah. But it's just funny.

[A]

Yeah, my wife's funny, but so anyways,

[B]

y' all have that kind of humor. And even y' all were like.

[A]

Even I was like, yeah. I would never say that in that situation.

[E]

Crazy.

[A]

But I was. The other night, I was laughing. I was just on my phone because I get fed baby content now in my algorithm on Tick Tock. And I was. She was like, what are you laughing at? I was like. Thought I was watching a video. I said, I was thinking about that nurse when she told us about the husband stitch. She goes, you need to stop laughing about that. We've all gone through the stage where we walk around with a big bucket of water in our life. Like, I'm drink all this water.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Like a big jug. Eddie wants to be that guy.

[D]

Oh, gosh, here we go.

[A]

We've all done it. It's annoying. We've all done it, though.

[E]

I don't want to be that guy, but I saw a Tik Tok video where they said that if you drink a gallon of water every day, in seven days, you're going to feel different. Hydrated, obviously, but you're going to have a clear mind. You're going to. Your body's going to feel like, I guess the bones or whatever, the cartilage gets a. Gets full of water and it makes you feel better so your body doesn't hurt. There's so many things that are going to happen if I do this for seven days.

[A]

I think generally people are living dehydrated and there's something to that. But I think we've all walked around with a jug of water going, every day I'm drinking this. And then one, you pee all the time natural, right? Two, you just eventually give up because it's annoying taking a jug of water around.

[E]

They did say that after seven days you're gonna not gonna pee so much because your body's just gonna be used to it.

[B]

Yeah, so that's true. There is that period of time where your body's trying to acclimate.

[A]

The good thing about that is you do see how much water you're drinking a day when it's all in front of you. The bad thing is it just gets annoying filling up that jug. And then you, you have to talk about it all the time.

[B]

You're like, water, guys.

[A]

You're like, ah, yeah, yeah. You know me, guys, you're drinking my water. If you want to give it a run, you can. I think you'll last at most nine days. And that's because you're going to do it extra long because we're giving you crap.

[E]

Nine days, you think is my max, man. I was thinking maybe a month.

[A]

Yeah, I was thinking, I was thinking maybe a lot.

[B]

If you go a month, then you'll.

[A]

You're gonna be a hard guy.

[B]

Just do it.

[E]

So one thing is like, yeah, so that's my question. If I did it for a month, you think I just carry this? Not like it's just gonna be my life and how I live it.

[A]

I think for a season.

[B]

Yeah, because, like, I've definitely had those moments where I've been so committed and I've been so consistent with it. I'm not in that season right now. Like, I consume the least amount of water probably I ever have.

[A]

Girl, there you go.

[B]

So you'. You're motivating me. You're encouraging me because I need to. I don't know that I. My body needs a gallon, but I could stand to do it a lot more than I am. You could be.

[E]

I'm gonna do it.

[B]

Look, you're already motivating us.

[E]

Yeah, I'm gonna do it.

[A]

Just remember Remember this. Inspiration is easy. Everybody gets inspired. Motivation, pretty easy. Everybody gets motivated for a minute. Discipline is hard work.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

If you can become disciplined at drinking that gallon of water over a 30 day period, I think it'll come natural for you. And I think you will be a healthier person because of it.

[D]

I give him two days.

[A]

Now I hope to do more. Just because we gave him credit.

[D]

I mean, he proved wrong. He didn't even do the fast right as I did.

[E]

I did it for 21 days.

[A]

Because now we got to jump in and say, that's not true.

[E]

I did the fast for 20 days.

[A]

But you didn't fast. But you also didn't even if you ate the steak, which you did.

[E]

Yeah, that was birthday.

[A]

But then the rest of your fast wasn't really a fast. It was like. Like you're just adding treats.

[E]

Modified.

[A]

Yeah. Well, guys, I'm do the water.

[E]

And here's the thing. Will you guys let me know? Because it says my skin's gonna start glowing in like three or four days

[A]

when you start to look hot and I can't resist myself. I will let you know.

[E]

Okay.

[B]

Have you all done a thing where before you drink your water, you get a pinch of salt and put it in your mouth?

[A]

No. Why am I. I don't carry salt around.

[B]

No, no, no, no. It helps you. Helps the water go to your cells and do what it needs to do. Hear me out.

[A]

I'll probably take a puckerful assault with me more.

[E]

I go, no.

[B]

Speaking of tick tock, I also saw this. And because I'm not getting adequate water.

[D]

Tick tock.

[A]

Nobody spoke of tick tock.

[E]

I saw it on Tick Tock, the water thing.

[A]

Sorry, that was a long time ago. Got it.

[B]

It was like 60 seconds ago, but so I just googled it because I have been doing this little trick and it's something you just take it Celtic or Himalayan salt, put it in your mouth before you drink your water, and it'll improve your hydration by helping your cells absorb the water. Because otherwise, sometimes when you drink water and you're peeing it right out, your cells aren't getting the benefits of the water.

[E]

It's a pinch. A pinch of salt.

[A]

That sounds great. Sounds like a Disney song or something. But I also am not going to carry salt around. Yeah, that's like, same shit. I have a salt shaker every day.

[B]

I'm just saying at home, like, I've been like grinding out a little bit of salt on the counter and then putting on my tongue.

[A]

I do it And I grind it down. I snort it.

[D]

Whoa. Yeah.

[B]

However you want to get it into your body.

[A]

Let' on the Bobby Bones show now.

[B]

Avery.

[A]

Anna, you moved here at 17?

[F]

I did.

[A]

Was that. If I'm doing the math, was that around Covid?

[F]

It was right after Covid, so I moved here.

[A]

Did you finish high school during COVID

[F]

I did Zoom online.

[A]

And you just knew you wanted to move to Nashville?

[F]

No, I didn't. I didn't even know this was a possibility for me. I didn't think I was that good. I always loved music, and it was. Music was more of like. Like, breathing, like I said. For me, it was a very private thing, unless I was singing in church. And when I went viral for singing in the bathtub during COVID And then I got in contact with my managers, and I signed a record deal and I moved, like, after I signed a record deal, in that order, within the span of six months, I got in contact with my managers October of 2020, and then we, like, started releasing some music. And then I had, like, every. Now, in hindsight, had, like, every label in town wanting to meet with me, and I met with, like, I think we did, like, 13 Zoom meetings. And then I signed with Warner.

[A]

What's it like to go viral?

[F]

Looks fabulous when you're on the other side of the screen and when you're looking at all the millions of views and likes, and it's really cool because it gave me my career, really did. So I'm really grateful for what it is. But the adrenaline dump after going viral is. Is a big thing, too. That was challenging that I wasn't anticipating.

[A]

What do you mean by that?

[F]

It's interesting to go from music being something that you do for fun to all of a sudden, it's your livelihood. And when you go viral, it's instant gratification. It's very stimulating. You are kind of on, like, a cloud nine. And then if your next video only gets a thousand views rather than 2 million views, it's like, oh, if this gave me my success, could it also take it away? And that thought was something that I struggled with a lot in the beginning, and I was very conscious of what I was posting and trying to still be as good as I was when I was mega viral. And I don't know, you kind of just learn the longer that you do it, that it's just. It all comes in waves. And what's genuine and authentic will always work for you. And if you're trying to be something else, if you're trying to be viral, if you're trying to. To be commercial, if you're not, if you're trying to be artsy, if you're not, it's just not going to work. You just have to really go with your gut and say what you want to say and not just. Just say something to say something.

[A]

Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[B]

Avery, Anna,

[A]

do you get the Megan Maroney comparisons all the time.

[F]

Yeah. Which is so fun. I especially did in the beginning, but it's so funny because we're two completely different lanes.

[A]

And so blonde hair. Really?

[F]

That's the blonde hair. The song's about the X's.

[A]

It is, but it's the vulnerability and the blonde hair.

[F]

I'm honored to be compared to Megan, and I've been compared to. To Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks, and I feel like people find a hard time, like, pinpointing, like, who to compare me to. So I've heard, like, a lot of different things.

[A]

I feel like Megan Maroney is the best young songwriter that's an artist.

[F]

She's very, very classic songwriter. She embodies a lot of that classic country, and it's very poetry. Like, it's gonna rhyme. It's gonna fit. It's gonna be like a system. Yeah. She's really a genius, and she's a marketing genius, too.

[A]

Very specific.

[F]

Very specific to her. Yeah.

[A]

Which I think there's a real art to that.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Because you could be so specific and think, well, no one's gonna understand this.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Or you could be very specific and have the confidence to go, someone's gonna find their story in my specificity.

[F]

Right. Totally.

[A]

Which I feel like you do that, too, though, when I say that. I feel like you do that, too.

[F]

I'm very songwriting, my songwriting. I also am not, like, married to one sound. I feel like Megan is, like, she has created her sound. I have, like, five different sounds, and I think that's. It's a strength and a downfall for me because I don't really have, like, I wish that I was more calculated than I am, and I wish that I could be, like, this is the sound for this album. It's going to be this one genre. I'm gonna wear this one color. But I just don't function like that. And I think if I did, I would feel like I was in a jail cell. It's funny because it's harder for people to figure out, like, my brand and, like, what my specific sound is and my style.

[A]

What is your brand? If I were to Ask you.

[F]

I. I am just me. And it's hard to. I think it will take me releasing more music to really establish that and paint my own lane. It's been very adamant that, like, I should just pick country or pick rock or pick.

[A]

That's old school indie.

[F]

You know what I mean?

[A]

That's old school.

[F]

It is old school. But it's funny because you'd think that that would be old school. And especially with the Internet, like. I mean, people listen to all genres, and so I'm just Arizona girl that likes to sing sad songs.

[A]

This is a question I don't know if I feel comfortable asking, but as. As a guy, when we would have a bus and there's seven or eight, there's. There are bathroom rules. You don't go on the bus.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Do girls have that rule?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

You do?

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[F]

Yeah.

[A]

I didn't know because you guys aren't gross like us.

[F]

Well, girls poop, too.

[A]

I know, but I didn't know. Guys are just.

[F]

Guys are gross. Guys are gross. Luckily, my crew hygiene was good. Girls, I would say guys are dirty and girls are messy. And those are two very different, you know, types of clean.

[A]

Have you thought about writing that song? Girls poop too.

[F]

Girls poop too. I could totally write that song. I know just the people to call.

[A]

That is. I think that's a number one.

[F]

Unless you're touring, though.

[A]

I just think it's a number one. Sometimes I hear it and I'm like, girls poop too. That's a hit. Bones, we have something really special for you. A chance to win a trip for two to our I Heart Country Festival in Austin, including airfare, hotel and a meet and greet with Russell Dickerson.

If you're like me and have kids

[C]

between the ages of 2 and 8,

[B]

you know that not all apps are Created equal. My 4 and 6 year old will

[C]

just explore like little screen time Magellans, clicking any and every button until I've

[A]

received 10 notices of apps and in

[C]

game coins they're trying to buy in reality.

[B]

I just want something that still gets

[C]

them excited, but also has them using their brains. And that is why I love lingokids.

[B]

It's an absolute blast and perfect to

[C]

keep them engaged in thinking.

[F]

just keeps on turning,

[A]

Riding this wigs next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what?

[F]

This is.

[A]

Now. Time for the morning corny.

[D]

The morning corny.

[B]

What do you call a group of baby soldiers?

[A]

Infantry.

[B]

Infantry, yes.

[A]

In honor of the baby that was the morning corny.

[B]

I wonder if now that you're a dad, you're gonna start liking my jokes more.

[A]

No jokes. I won't for sure. But I am starting to get dad bod a little bit already.

[E]

Yeah, it hasn't even been that long.

[B]

What does that even mean?

[A]

I haven't been able to exercise well. I've also had ankle surgery they're coming back from.

[B]

Right.

[A]

But for the past two, even three weeks, I've done nothing except sit at the house and eat and be with the baby and my wife.

[E]

And let me ask you this, is your wife like. Hey.

[A]

No, the opposite, actually.

[E]

Really?

[A]

Yeah. She's had a baby bro. Yeah, Just a little bit. I'm gonna try. I'll try to squeeze out of it, but, yeah, dad bod right now. All right, There you go. Did we close that? It was so funny.

[E]

Yeah, we did.

[B]

Yeah, we did.

[A]

I didn't mean to cut your joke off and give you the answer.

[B]

No, I'm glad you know. That's good. You were just showing off your new dad skills.

[A]

Thank you. Tuesday reviews day. So while I was gone, I watched one, two, three full seasons of man and High Castle. They're 10 episodes each. I watched like, 30 hours of this show. I'm not gonna recommend it to anybody. The concept is amazing. I think the show's pretty good. But also, it could be because I love that uto dystopian type stuff.

[E]

Is this the Nazis?

[A]

So it's in another world where the Nazis and the Japanese end up. They won World War II, and so now they have split America and they're running America from two different sides.

[E]

Such a cool, crazy concept.

[A]

Yeah. And I like the show. I've watched three seasons. There's one more left. My wife is ready for something else to not be on the screen because it's been all basketball and all man high castle. And she's not saying, hey, let's watch my stuff, because she's so baby focused. Well, I just have to, like, fill in. I do all the errands around the house and then fill in with the baby. And she's mostly baby, so. But she's like, I can't have the attention span to, like, watch a show. But she's watched a lot of Nazi and a lot of Japanese stuff. I'm gonna give it a three out of five through three seasons. I'm gonna grind through season four just so I finish it. But that's my Tuesday reviews day. Hey, Mike, did you review before we left Project Hail Mary? Not on the show? No. Okay. You went and watched it? Yeah. I loved the book. You didn't read the book. I know I read the book, but did you read it before the movie? Yes, Right before the movie. A couple weeks. I finished the book. Okay, so then you had a high.

[D]

I.

[A]

You needed a good movie then.

[E]

Yeah.

[A]

What'd you think? I loved it. It's the best movie I've seen this entire decade. What? What year? Yeah. 2025. No, it's 2026. 26? Yeah. We're halfway through. We didn't record this segment earlier, and we're four months. And it's the best movie you've seen of the decade? Yes.

[E]

Wait, no. Decade? 10 years.

[A]

Yeah. You get that. All right. I read that because Ryan Gosling is in it, and there's not really any cursing in it that it's PG 13. But it easily could have been PG. Yeah, easily. I think kids of all ages could watch it, enjoy it, but also adults will love it.

[E]

Yes, I like that.

[B]

When is it coming to our homes?

[A]

Great question. Probably three months because it's doing so good in theaters. Yeah, it's like the highest grossing original movie in a long time. Amazon produced, right? Yes, Amazon, mgm. That's it.

[B]

Dang. Might have to go to the movie.

[A]

Oh, are you gonna say those words? What do you rate it? I haven't given a movie a perfect score in over two years. It's a five out of five. Spaceship. Wow. Five out of five. Because I love the book just a little bit more than the movie. But the movie is so cinematic and immersive that it matches anything that you loved in the book that's not in the movie. And the thing about people going, I love the book more than a movie. They should. Because you spend weeks with the book. You can get into so many more details with the book because it gives you that Runway. So for Mike to say that he loved the book just a little more than the movie, that's massive. Because the book. It's a long book, so obviously they fit a lot more in there. They had to water it down just a little bit to make it digestible in a visual form. But, yeah, it's really good project. Hail Mary. Ryan Gosling. He is a science teacher and ends up having to go to space. Yeah, That's.

[E]

How did he do?

[A]

Fantastic. Yeah. And it's just him basically the entire movie. So he's a really good actor. What other movie comes to mind when. If I say just him and I got it. What? Cast Away. Yeah. Tom Haynes. Just him.

[E]

Yeah.

[F]

Yep.

[E]

Which was so entertaining. Just watching one dude stuck on an island.

[A]

Dang. So Mike gives it five out of five. I can't wait to see it.

[B]

Yeah, same. I like the book as well.

[A]

You read it?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Eddie, do you feel left out?

[E]

Yeah, I do. I do. Especially since Mike read it in two weeks before he watched the movie. That's pretty. That's amazing.

[A]

I don't want to be a book. I'm not a book shamer. Because you just don't read. And if you don't read that. I don't read.

[E]

But I can read. I'm not like.

[A]

We're not saying you can't read.

[B]

Yeah, we know you can.

[A]

I'm not even shaming you for not reading it, but I would not recommend you to read this book as a book to get back into it. Oh, really? It's. It's very long.

[E]

Next level.

[A]

I've bought you books that are, like, 40 pages that you won't read. I would start with those. It's also really science heavy. Yeah. And your book is.

[E]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

But you can handle some science. But I just wouldn't start with the book because it's so long.

[E]

You sound like I'm an eighth grader. I wouldn't read this one yet.

[A]

Tuesday reviews to Amy.

[B]

Well, if you'll allow me to talk about Age of Attraction, even though there's still one more episode left.

[A]

Guys, we can't break. We can't do it. Next week.

[B]

Okay. Okay. Let me just say this. I thought I had watched the whole thing.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

And then I realized, wait, they're saving. They save one. It's Netflix. I thought Netflix always put everything out at once.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And this they did in chunks. And they've saved one final episode for March 25th.

[A]

That show I watch on TikTok, I've never watched an episode, but I see on TikTok, I just want to know how old the people are. And there's a part where they have to reveal their age. And there was one dude, he was like, I'm 60. And I was like, you don't look over 35 years old. Black dude, really good looking guy.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Eddie, your skin, like, the darker your skin is. Yeah. Here I am over here looking all Polish and 100.

[B]

No, like my kids. I'm always like, oh, y' all are gonna age so well.

[A]

Okay, so next week. Well, you can review that.

[B]

Well, literally, it airs tomorrow.

[A]

Okay. But next week, Tuesday reviews day.

[F]

You want me to review it on.

[A]

If we do Thursday reviews day, we'll get to it.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Bobby Bone Show Bonehead Story of the day.

[D]

This story comes to us from Thurston County, Washington. A guy was on his motorcycle going over 100 miles an hour. Police try to pull him over and he's like, not today, officers. Fleas ditches the motorcycle running. He's like, I'm getting away. I better ditch my clothes so they can't find me. Only problem is they got a canine and they followed his clothes right to him.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[A]

So because his clothes had the scent of his body, but he wasn't able to track him.

[D]

No, no, no. He just got down to his underwear. But he got rid of the shirt and pants, thinking, oh, this is going to get rid of the cops. Well, they used that scent and he followed it through the grass and found him.

[B]

Interesting.

[A]

Then do you get naked? Is the question.

[B]

I think they would. The dog could still sniff you out.

[A]

Do you find a body of water?

[E]

But where do you go?

[A]

Like, what's the move?

[E]

Because if you get naked, like, where do you go?

[D]

Exactly.

[B]

Why?

[A]

But then if you're in your underwear, where do you go?

[E]

Nowhere.

[A]

No, that's what I'm saying. Like, what do you do then? In that case, you have to find a shower.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

And clothes.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. Feels like he didn't have this all lined up.

[E]

You can find someone, be like, give me all your clothes.

[A]

And then that's another charge.

[E]

That's true.

[D]

I'm lunchbox. That's Your boathead. Story of the day, Bones.

[A]

I wear a O ring. Not. It's not an ad. They've never spent any money with us. I wish they would. I love it. For me, it very much monitors my sleep. And if I'm waking up and I'm like, oh, I feel terrible. And I look at it and it's like, you got. No, you got six hours. I'm like, dang, I feel good. Like, it can.

[B]

Hell, yeah.

[A]

Yeah. But there's a woman. Her name is Maeve O'. Neill, 19 years old, freshman at George Washington University. She knew she was sick, but she didn't know how bad it was. So she saw a spike in her respiratory rate and her resting heart rate and her body temperature, because she had a ring on. She went to the er, they immediately put her on oxygen. She was in respiratory failure. And they. It's called, like, Lemire Syndrome. It's rare. It's a life threatening condition that usually starts with a bacterial throat infection, like tonsillitis. And it goes on and on about the medical part of it. She spent days in the ICU, like, fighting to live, plus another 10 days on the infectious disease floor. She needed surgery to place tubes on her lungs to allow them to heal. She's now made a great recovery, and it was because her ring told her it was more than what she thought. So, again, this is not a commercial, but it kind of, I guess.

[B]

Yeah, I'm, like, sold.

[A]

Well, it's like the Apple watch. When people are like, my Apple watch told me that I was about to poop my pants. I'm like, that's cool because it got me to the bathroom.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So the. The fact that these Apple watches and these rings can tell things about us by just being on our wrist or our finger. Wild to me, because they're not inside of our bodies. They're literally just. I don't know what they're doing, literally. But to me, they're just measuring by feeling, like, your heart rate pulse through your finger.

[E]

But when you go to the doctor, though, don't they start with, like, all right, let's take your heart?

[A]

Yeah, but they do so many other things during that. If you just went to the doctor and that's all they did, I'd be like, well, how do they know that all they did was check my pulse? But they do that, and then they do other tests as well.

[E]

Yeah, I just think they know it's serious when the temperature is like, oh, you're running a real high high fever. That's the problem.

[A]

She had bought the aura ring to take her health a bit more seriously, but it did more and basically it saved her life. New York Post with that story.

[E]

What's the. What's the damage on one of those things?

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

Like, I don't know, dude, Let me look it up, okay?

[E]

Cuz, I mean, it ain't cheap. I'm like you, Amy.

[B]

I don't know. I know. Let's go get one. Like, maybe it's 150.

[E]

I hope I can do 150. I have to call my wife to get an approval.

[A]

Is it 250 or. Oh, I did. I said Rs ring price.

[B]

I looked at some at Best Buy over Christmas and then I just didn't get it.

[A]

I'm seeing between 350 to 500. Oh, Aura Ring 4 starts at 3:49, while the previous started at 299.

[B]

Maybe I was looking at the.

[E]

The mood ring.

[B]

Sora ring.

[A]

She's looking at a mood ring.

[B]

A knockoff.

[A]

All right, that's it. We're done. Thank you guys. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.

Imagine never buying gas again. EVs are easy to charge as your phone and perfect for everyday life. Now, most Americans only drive about 40 miles a day, and most EVs go 200 to 400 miles on a full charge. That's plenty. And with fewer parts, that means fewer repairs and fewer surprises at the mechanic. Anyone who has made the switch says the same thing. Once you go electric, you don't look back. The way forward is electric. Learn [e-mail] this is an iHeart podcast.
