[Chad]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Bobby.

[Melissa Peterman]

Transmitting.

[Morgan]

Is.

[Lunchbox]

Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to Tuesday's show Morning Studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

I do want to start with the story of a hot air balloon landing randomly in a backyard of a family. They go in their backyard and there's a freaking humongous hot air balloon with people still in the basket.

[Amy]

Have you seen this? No.

[Bobby Bones]

So this was in California and 13 people are in this and the wind is blowing the hot air balloon.

[Ray]

All good.

[Bobby Bones]

And the wind just dies. And if there is no wind, the balloon doesn't go anywhere. It can go up and down. Yeah, because so listen to this clip ABC7LA with this.

[Melissa Peterman]

A hot air balloon carrying 13 people landed in the backyard of a Temecula home.

[Eddie]

Hi, everybody.

[Melissa Peterman]

The homeowner was watching television around 8:30 Saturday morning when a neighbor knocked on his door.

[Bobby Bones]

So I go into the backyard and

[Eddie]

I open the sliding glass door and there's a basket full of 13 people in my backyard. Balloon didn't catch on anything.

[Chad]

No one was injured.

[Melissa Peterman]

The homeowners say the hot air balloon pilot told them the wind died, forcing him to make an emergency landing.

[Bobby Bones]

I want you to see this. Because the fact that it a didn't hit the house and this balloon is gigantic. And when they walk back in the back and this basket is just full of people, it looks like AI.

[Eddie]

That does look so fake.

[Amy]

How? It's not like it's a massive backyard either.

[Bobby Bones]

It landed perfectly in the grass in Mrs. Gates house. No power lines.

[Eddie]

That is hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Everybody from the neighborhood's now taking pictures of it. They've all run over. How crazy is that?

[Amy]

That's nuts.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So there you go.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

If you're that family too, they're carrying

[Lunchbox]

it down the street.

[Eddie]

Now that is crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

There is a story about plastic surgery with dudes and a lot of guys are going and getting plastic surgery to get a larger chin because defined jawlines are more masculine. So I guess I don't notice guys chins.

[Amy]

So the chin sticking out more helps the jawline, I guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Eliminating double chins, increasing projection and sharpness. I guess I don't notice chin.

[Amy]

Well, you've got a good jawline, so it's probably something you've never thought about.

[Bobby Bones]

But again, I've never looked at anybody else's jaw and thought, that's a weak chin.

[Eddie]

You like my chin?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I have no thought on it. I don't look at it.

[Amy]

Yeah, but now that you know that it's perceived as I would, I could

[Bobby Bones]

understand that people would grow beards if they had, like, a wimpy face. It would hide, like, features.

[Amy]

What's a wimpy face?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. No chin.

[Eddie]

There we go. Start, start there.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, there's that. And then people with ADHD are more likely to become millionaires. So I'm going to play this. This is from a podcast. Sarah Pearl went on a podcast talking about why people with ADHD are more likely to be rich.

[Eddie]

Who's destined to become a millionaire?

[Melissa Peterman]

ADHD people. There's not a single substance in this world that truly comes close to what an ADHD hyper fixation feels like. They might have laundry piling up, dishes in the sink. They might be late to everything, but what an ADHD person has is obsession. Okay? They will out obsess you on anything and zero time distance between idea and execution. They are imploring, impulsive. When they want something, they go and get it. People with ADHD are nearly destined to become millionaires if they monetize what gives them dopamine.

[Amy]

Why is that? He laughing.

[Eddie]

Because Amy's listening to this clip and then she sees, like a bug on her shoulder.

[Bobby Bones]

She's not hyper focused. We have a different version of adhd.

[Amy]

She wasn't saying you hyper focus on when people are talking.

[Bobby Bones]

She hyper focus on the bug.

[Eddie]

She's like, look, a butterfly.

[Amy]

And when you have a particular idea or project in mind, you can focus on it.

[Bobby Bones]

You have distraction adhd, though. Is that a different adhd?

[Amy]

Yeah. No. But anybody with distraction AD can hyper focus on something and hyper fixate on something for sure. But that's a generalization about laundry being piled up and dishes in the sink. Because I like to keep laundry going and have things. I have my certain piles, but laundry is not one of my things.

[Bobby Bones]

And I keep waiting for Amy to run out of the room after a squirrel.

[Amy]

But yay for me, this is great news.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't feel like that described you.

[Amy]

She's describing, sir. If like. Yes, certain. It's a generalization.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I believe you don't fit in that generalization.

[Amy]

No, I think there are things that if I set my mind to something and I get hyper focused on it, I will absolutely dive all in.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that common for everybody though?

[Amy]

I don't know. I mean most ADHDers get hyper fixated on whether it's a food or an idea. But then, you know, self doubt will creep in and then you're like, well, I'm a loser. Why would I try that? And then you have to be like, you're not a loser. Go for it. And then you're like, oh, like you're

[Bobby Bones]

divided with all your mentals. Yeah, like you got one creeping and knocking another one out.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yes, yes. So some of it is believing in yourself and then having other people believe in you and then just doing it anyway. Like I got some, I mean, you know, a goal I'm working on. It has that has to do with my financial side and I'm dialed in. I told you about it. Your house and the couches.

[Bobby Bones]

Like remember?

[Lunchbox]

He's like, no, I know,

[Amy]

but yeah. And I am getting there and I'll get to where my goal is. So I think in that way, yes. And I have an idea for an invention. Don't worry.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay.

[Lunchbox]

Grandell. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Hello, Bobby Bones. Just had my first daughter in September. While I was pregnant, my sister was also expecting, but she kept her baby names a surprise. I told her the whole time I planned to name my daughter after our mom and my mother in law, Colette Coral. So Coco. I even had things made with the name. She ended up having surprise twins in August and named them Cole and Lettie. Also inspired by her mom's name. Now she's upset and constantly brings up how similar the names are, reminding everyone her babies were born first. I admit it can be a little confusing, but she never told me her name plans. Now I'm considering swapping my daughter's names legally just to keep the peace. But it feels like admitting I did something wrong. Do I change my daughter's name? Is it too late to change my daughter's name? Sign mom to Coco. A couple things. I would never change the name. I would not change the name.

[Eddie]

2.

[Amy]

It's not.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not so the same, right?

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Should we walk the names back here? Colette Coral with the name Coco. Like nickname. Yes, Coco Colette Coral. The other one over on the other side. Where they had twins, Cole and Letty.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah, that's. No, you don't need to change the name.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. I get the Letty, though, now. I didn't get it at first. Let Colette. I agree. Still. No, no, no. But I was like, twins are like Cole and Calvin.

[Amy]

No, I would. No. Nope, nope, nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I have three things here. Number one, do not change your names simply because they're not that similar. I'm all good at that.

[Amy]

And they're could both be inspired by an important person in both of your lives. Makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So don't change because of that. Number two, when it's too late to change a baby's name, aside from all of this, didn't your sister change her kid's name?

[Amy]

No, she just left the hospital without, like, after being there for several days without having a name. And it was their fourth child, so she's like, we don't ran out of names.

[Bobby Bones]

We've used all three. We don't know anymore.

[Amy]

Yeah. So. Yeah, good question. I mean, I don't know psych a lot. Like, when a child starts to really understand and know their name, I would think at that, at that point, that would be the deadline when they can say it back. Right. Well, I don't know at what point their brain starts to understand. So that way you don't, like, cause any confusion. But I mean, kids are probably used to being called different things too, because there's nicknames, there's actual names, there's.

[Eddie]

But Amy, didn't your daughter change her name?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that was.

[Amy]

She did that on her as a teenager, and it wasn't legal. And should she want to now, she legally could do whatever she wants, but that's her choice. Like, for a kid, you just don't want them, like, confused.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm asking Chad gbt when's the latest you can change your child's name? But I want to say not my kid, because I don't get that confused. Not my kid. Just talking about it on the show. So that's the second thing is that. Let's find out. You can technically change it at almost any age. Usually have a few days. Yeah, but they're just saying.

[Amy]

But, like, cognitively it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Impactful in any way. I mean, maybe it's not because, you know, sometimes kids are adopted at an older age and people will change the name, especially if there was the kid is coming from a traumatic situation and just sort of, you know, a chance to rewrite their story a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Zero to two, basically no impact.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Kids don't have a stable sense of identity yet. They respond to tone and repetition more than meaning. You could switch names and they'd adapt quickly. No real confusion. Three to five years, mild confusion, quick adjustment. Six to ten years. This is where it matters. 11 to 17, high identity impact. Well, that would be weird.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be.

[Eddie]

Just change who they are.

[Bobby Bones]

The real takeaway, it's not about an age illegally. It's about identity cycle. Yeah. Their identity psychology. So it looks like 0 to 2. You shouldn't do that here with this email, though. Don't base. Don't change it off somebody else. And also, they're not that similar.

[Amy]

No, I. I would really. Just ask yourself what is really bothering me here, because this. Sure. This cannot be it. Sometimes there's an underlying reason of what's going. I dig a little deeper.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but it's about her sister.

[Amy]

Well, I know, that's what I mean. Like, is there.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

I'm saying, is there something deeper going on here with the sister, with you? Whatever. I don't know. It just seems like an odd thing to get all twisted up about.

[Bobby Bones]

The third one was the point I was gonna make was remember the friend that I had, they had a baby name. They wrote all the stuff on it. They told everybody their baby name, all their family, and then one of their family members had a kid after and was like, I like that name and name their kid that.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's totally different.

[Bobby Bones]

That's totally different. It's so. It's so screwed up. And I would. They. They'd be on minimally two year family suspension. I would not talk to them for two years.

[Amy]

Yeah, it looks like they did them dirty.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it looks like my friends who had the name had all the stuff made, had shared the name already. I think they're gonna have to change the name. I know, it sucks.

[Amy]

Well, they can gift, I guess all their stuff so that I would never.

[Bobby Bones]

How would I. I don't talk to them. I'm out. I'm out. You don't get anything. Heck, I might go rob them. Do the opposite. Oh, just break in the middle of the night, take some stuff. All right, there you go. That's the mailbag. Close it up. Okay, we have Chad here. Chad, you. You are a paramedic.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I don't want to say the wrong thing. What are you.

[Chad]

Yeah, you're good. I'm a paramedic.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom. We had you come up because Lunchbox and Eddie have been both Saying they had more testosterone than the other person. So you came up today and drew blood from them?

[Chad]

We did.

[Bobby Bones]

How did that go with them?

[Chad]

It was actually pretty simple. There was a competition about more or less hair on their arms.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they were already making a competition.

[Chad]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So who won that one?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Who's hairier arms?

[Chad]

He has more.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox Did.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

So you think that's probably an indicator?

[Lunchbox]

It just screams tea, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Is this one of the dumber things

[Lunchbox]

you've ever heard of?

[Bobby Bones]

Two people trying to compare their testosterone?

[Chad]

I'm not going to comment on that.

[Eddie]

Smart.

[Amy]

And so have you ever had, like, guy friends come in?

[Chad]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's very common.

[Amy]

Okay. So this does happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh. To see who has the most testosterone.

[Chad]

They'll say they want a full blood panel, but really they're just looking for the testosterone.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. But that's. That's healthy to just know your testosterone.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever have two come in and go, I got more than him. Do us both.

[Chad]

No.

[Eddie]

What did you say? Blood panel.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Well, what is. What does that mean? Could you test for all kinds of things?

[Chad]

We do usually, yeah. Today we just tested your testosterone and a complete blood count. So it tells us how thick or thin your blood is. And we drew an estrogen, too.

[Lunchbox]

He's got a lot of levels, too.

[Chad]

Yeah, we're doing that, too.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Amy]

Oh, nice.

[Bobby Bones]

So what is your business?

[Chad]

It's called get well Health. So we do, like, vitamin IVs, blood work, go to people's homes. We also have a clinic next door.

[Bobby Bones]

So for those listening, because we're all over the country, but in Nashville. Get well Health.

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it getwellhealth.com or what? Your website? Yeah.

[Chad]

We're in Austin and Tampa, too.

[Bobby Bones]

We're all. We're also there, too. Okay. So get well Health. We encourage you to use them, especially if there's a testosterone challenge between your buddies. And so how long does this usually take to come back?

[Chad]

We should know their total testosterone tomorrow. Free testosterone, which is. We could get more into that, but it's what's actually bioavailable that takes a few days to come back.

[Amy]

Oh. Oh, I was reading about this.

[Melissa Peterman]

Tell them that.

[Bobby Bones]

They're gonna make excuses if one comes back and they don't win. They're like, no, we want the.

[Amy]

But the. Like, if you look at it, I saw a comparison. Like your. Your. Your gross versus your net. Right.

[Eddie]

We want the net.

[Bobby Bones]

We just want a number. Chad, when you come back, you just declare a winner.

[Chad]

It's going to be the total. So I'll have it tomorrow.

[Eddie]

Okay. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you guys nervous?

[Lunchbox]

I'm not nervous at all, man.

[Eddie]

I'm a little nervous. Yeah, A little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

Not.

[Eddie]

Not necessarily about, like, low T, whatever, but, like, he's gonna come back and be like, hey, you need to go to a doctor, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, oh, you think you're dying? You think you. This is going to lead to you dying. Correct.

[Eddie]

Because, Chad, the whole reason to start is because I. I was telling these guys that, like, I wake up in the morning and I'm like. I sit in the side of my bed for, like, five minutes thinking, I'm not gonna make it through the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Amy]

So what would you.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't you think that's more of a mental illness? Like, a mental, you know, hipaa.

[Amy]

Wait, did they sign their. What were they signing out there, man?

[Eddie]

We checked in, like, we were at the doctor's office.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we did. It was like a reservation, but, like,

[Amy]

we wave HIPAA here. Like, HIPAA in this room.

[Eddie]

Stop. Not yet. Not yet. We don't know yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, but how are we gonna know that? Are you guys waiving your testosterone results so he can read them?

[Lunchbox]

I'm not waving at all. Get it out there. Tell him how healthy I am. I'm not worried about it.

[Bobby Bones]

So. And again, you can tell them in private so you're not put the pressure on this.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

What? No, no, no. He can tell Chad that they waived their testosterone results.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they could say it on the air, it's performative, and then Chad's like, I can't read them because they didn't tell me in private.

[Amy]

Right, right.

[Bobby Bones]

But if they tell you in private, you can then give us the results publicly. Yeah, yeah.

[Chad]

Or they can just share, too.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. No, no, no, we can't come. That's the point.

[Eddie]

Because we fidget the numbers.

[Amy]

Actually. Does it need to come from Chad?

[Bobby Bones]

It has to come from Chad.

[Amy]

Yeah. Oh, I didn't know if he was emailing it and then we were reading.

[Bobby Bones]

Could come. He could just email it to me, but they'd have to be okay with that.

[Eddie]

I don't trust you. I want to get it from Chad.

[Lunchbox]

I'd like to hear from Chad's mouth.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's fine. My only point is, if you guys have control of it, you're going to fudge the numbers.

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't know how to fudge testosterone numbers, dude. I would just read the paper.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you just lift it. You just make it. Whatever it is. You just make it higher.

[Amy]

What's. Where does it. Where does. Where's a healthy range for men?

[Chad]

Like, an optimal level would be 900 to 1100. Ish.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Eddie]

Right?

[Lunchbox]

That's what I was thinking. I was feeling like I was 1050.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's like, super high? Like, is there an unhealthy high?

[Chad]

Our scale that we use goes to 1500, so I'm probably around 15. Someone who, like, might be abusing tests. They would be.

[Eddie]

Are you abusing.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. Trust me. Look at me. There's one thing I ain't abusing. Testosterone.

[Amy]

So if. If one of them comes back significantly low, would you recommend that they.

[Chad]

Yeah, and we can take care of that in our clinic.

[Eddie]

Okay, but if it comes, like. See, I've heard if it comes out, like, really high, you can have like.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you think you're gonna die, huh? You really think you're gonna die?

[Eddie]

I mean, I'm worried about that. That's what I'm worried about.

[Melissa Peterman]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's good. But good thing we did this then.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a story of Survivor. Remember who went on and found a heart problem? Jimmy Johnson, the old coach for the Cowboys. He was going to go on Survivor, but because of all the work they had to do to make sure physically could get on the physicals, they found a heart problem. Then he. It saved his life.

[Amy]

Also, Amy Robach on Good Morning America. Or back in the day, they were doing mammograms, and so she volunteered to do a mammogram just to raise awareness. They found breast cancer.

[Lunchbox]

So this could be good so we can inspire America. Dang.

[Amy]

But what is. What. What. Where do we want them to be with estrogen? Like, is one of them gonna have higher estrogen?

[Chad]

Testosterone and estrogen are directly proportional. So as one raises, the other raises.

[Eddie]

Okay, sounds right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably where I have 1500 estrogen. Like, I'm up there. I'm probably, you know, abusing the s. You know. Okay, so we will get the results. Go ahead, ask a question.

[Lunchbox]

I got a question. So, like, does the estrogen show more? Like, well, we have more feminine qualities. Like, like, does that ever come out?

[Chad]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, you're putting them. You're asking qualities.

[Lunchbox]

Because when Eddie drinks, he gets really feminine. I didn't know if that's like, his estrogen.

[Amy]

Estrogen show, like, the truth comes out, you know, like, hey, okay, so. But Eddie said he has fatigued in the morning. What are some other signs of low T besides fatigue?

[Chad]

Like, so, you know, we use the word libido, Right?

[Eddie]

That's not a problem.

[Lunchbox]

That's not a problem.

[Bobby Bones]

Screaming.

[Chad]

Get that out of the way real quick.

[Eddie]

We can move on from that one.

[Chad]

I mean, sleep problems. There's a whole hosted.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm telling you, dude, I'll lose.

[Amy]

Okay, look, I wish they would be honest about their libido.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't. I know. I don't want them to be honest. That's the one thing. I don't want to hear it.

[Eddie]

No, we are honest.

[Bobby Bones]

There's not talking about it at all.

[Lunchbox]

We haven't said anything that's inaccurate.

[Amy]

There's not any shame in that.

[Eddie]

I got a question.

[Lunchbox]

Is it good? Like, does it mean I have a lot of tea if I can lay down anywhere and just fall asleep?

[Chad]

Probably not.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it probably doesn't be a sign of love. Oh, no. Okay, so we'll get the results, we'll let him read them. Or he can give them to one of us to read. Whatever's the easiest. But you guys have to, outside of this room, tell him that's okay.

[Eddie]

Yes, sir. Done deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we will do it. But don't reveal anything else because you might be dying.

[Eddie]

Right? Right. If he comes back and says, like, you might have cancer, we're not talking about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, he's not gonna say that.

[Eddie]

Right, Right. So that's. That'll be our.

[Bobby Bones]

We're just doing testosterone. Okay, Chad, thank you.

[Chad]

Absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd they do with the needle? Pretty good.

[Chad]

They actually did. They both did really well.

[Amy]

Well, they said you did well. Like, they didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

They didn't even feel it.

[Amy]

Didn't feel it. Lunchbox says he has other nurses where he feels it, and it's like, ah. But with you, nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

He said he cries a lot when

[Lunchbox]

he does it, but I never said I cried.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we don't.

[Lunchbox]

Why are we making things up, guys? I never said that. I've said I'm uncomfortable when I have it in my arm.

[Mike]

Rage.

[Bobby Bones]

Testosterone. Or lack of, essentially.

[Chad]

Could be. Actually, could be high.

[Bobby Bones]

High from rage.

[Eddie]

This is a lot of rage.

[Chad]

Yeah, that's a good sign for you.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Chad, thank you and we will talk to you soon.

[Amy]

Finger quote psychic. And she can look into cheese and tell your fortune. And people are paying money for this? You can't tell me that. I don't know. The economy's bad when people are paying money to talk to a cheese psychic. Where's that money coming from?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like the worst spent money ever from the New York Post. She calls herself a cheese witch. Jen Billock. She is very much into tariff card reading and tea leaves. And she began practicing cheese. I can't believe people pay for this.

[Eddie]

So this is like instead of a crystal ball, I'm gonna look at the cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

I would rather get scammed. Have to admit that than I just paid a cheese witch. Like, what's more embarrassing? Yeah, I got scammed by someone. I clicked a link and. Or, yeah, no, I paid that money to a cheese witch to read my future. During a reading, clients choose four cheeses, which she interprets as symbols of the past, present, future, and a specific question. Using the textures and patterns in the cheese to guide her insights. She believes different cheeses produce different types of messages ranging from complex to noisy, clear and focused. But no, people are paying her to do psychic readings with cheese. Go ahead.

[Amy]

I mean, this sounds crazy and you've

[Bobby Bones]

done some crazy stuff, so. From you.

[Amy]

Yeah, but what if there's something to it? I don't know I'm not gonna do it, but. Yeah, I've, like, held pills and then see if my arm will stay up and then do it. Does my body need it or not? But that's the energy from the pills.

[Eddie]

You've done that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. She was making decisions on what medicine to put in her body based on if her arm was strong enough when holding the bottle.

[Amy]

Strong supplements. Supplements.

[Bobby Bones]

Nearly 20 of Americans believe they're basically psychic.

[Eddie]

I mean, Amy, are you believing it now?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think you got. Is there something to your sports psychic ability?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Because you're nailing them.

[Amy]

I know, but I haven't been totally perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you believe your cousin is psychic?

[Amy]

I believe she has a gift that I can't explain.

[Eddie]

Why can't she just answer the question?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Do you?

[Amy]

I've told y' all from the beginning, it's hard for me, but I do. I do. She does have a gift. I. I can't deny that.

[Bobby Bones]

So what's the gift?

[Amy]

I do think she can tap into higher levels of consciousness than we do, because she tells me she can. And she's been right about certain things, too. And she's so, like. It's weird. Like, she didn't. It's not like she studied any of this stuff really. And she just, like, it comes to her.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, that would be how a real psychic would have. Things happen.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They wouldn't go and study. Yeah. What do you study? Psychic 101? No. You're just a natural psychic. And maybe that word psychic is thrown around like aliens.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I have a problem with people go. Aliens.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because isn't she more of also like a medium or whatever?

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. She can talk. Just talk. Dead people. Here's the thing.

[Amy]

She's also had encounters with UFOs.

[Lunchbox]

Wow. She's done it all.

[Amy]

But because she's open to it. Because. And that's whenever I tell y', all, like, some people that see them more than others, they have. Is it that higher level of consciousness? Is it the. The experience that's happening in other dimensions and stuff? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I would never.

[Amy]

I. I don't know, argue. It's hard because I love her. Okay. She is like, I love her. I do. I love her. And I'm not even saying it' true.

[Bobby Bones]

I have trouble believing it.

[Amy]

Like, even her mom, when her mom was alive. But her mom has since passed. I think when it first started happening, way back, because it's not. It first happened in her childhood, but she didn't know what it was. So she dismissed it. And then later in life, after she'd been through a lot of chaotic things and she got sober, that's when it, like, all, like, the veil was lifted and she really tapped into it, and she didn't have anything blocking it. And also, she wasn't trying to block it. Like, oh, this is crazy. But she leaned into it, and that's when more came. So anyway, her mom was sort like, what? But then her mom. There was too much they couldn't explain to her. Mom was like, yeah, she. She's got a gift.

[Bobby Bones]

Again, weird. But I'm going to make a comparison that hopefully these guys will look at and go, oh, it's possible. Okay. Because again, for me, it's hard to believe, but I would never say there's absolutely no way, because how can I prove it's. It's not true? But there are kids who are born and they're four or five years old, and they can play the piano like freaking Beethoven. Like, there's something in their brain. They're able to see and hear and move things in a way that our brains can't do it. 90 years old, and they can do it at 4 and 5 years old. Or they can come out and they can read a book once and remember the whole thing. Right. Some people's brains, there's something we'll just say unlocked that allows them to do things at a higher level than any of us. Why would this be different?

[Eddie]

I would say because the piano is not talking back to them.

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Eddie]

Like, they learn the piano. They've got this gift. They can.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're using the piano as one specific thing. I'm saying this is something that we can't do. We can understand how it's done. Why aren't there other things that we would go, well, we just can't do it and we can't understand it, so it could possibly be true.

[Eddie]

I mean, the dimension thing throws me off, like, talking to others, you know,

[Bobby Bones]

only because you don't know it. But it's like animals can see certain things because they have different cones in their eyes, right? Yeah. Like, so there are things out there that we. That we all can't see. There are people that can see things that we can't see just physically.

[Eddie]

This is a hard one for me, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I agree.

[Eddie]

Hard one.

[Bobby Bones]

All I'm trying to do is say that just because our brains can't do it doesn't mean other people's brains can't do it.

[Lunchbox]

Can I Say it's because dead people can't talk. So I don't know.

[Amy]

Spiritual realm.

[Lunchbox]

Like, she's like, oh, she talks to my. Her mom, who's dead. That's impossible.

[Amy]

I. Wait, hold on, mister. You want off for good Friday? What?

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't you get attacked by.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't say dead person's.

[Bobby Bones]

Talking about the dead person. Didn't you get attacked by a gh. In a closet?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got pushed in a.

[Bobby Bones]

By what?

[Lunchbox]

A ghost.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Believe in the spiritual world.

[Bobby Bones]

He's for sure of it. Like how he said a ghost choked him.

[Lunchbox]

Say, choked he.

[Bobby Bones]

Where the ghost touch you?

[Lunchbox]

Nowhere.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going draw a picture of a stick, man. Where did the ghost touch you? Show me the area.

[Lunchbox]

No, no.

[Amy]

It touched you.

[Eddie]

Was it really a ghost lunchbox?

[Lunchbox]

Dude, There is a ghost that lived in that house. And getting up to go to the bathroom, middle of the night, and it put me in the closet and I couldn't get out.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're really cold. Things that exist that you part. You can't see.

[Lunchbox]

No, but I couldn't talk to him. I didn't have a conversation with the ghost.

[Amy]

Yeah, because you had that gift.

[Bobby Bones]

The ghost physically touched you. Yes or no, did the ghost physically touch you?

[Lunchbox]

Man, that's a great question.

[Bobby Bones]

No. You're backing off. You've been saying three years ago, I don't know.

[Lunchbox]

But no, no. Like, it forced me in the closet, but I don't know if it was touching me or if just like, whatever made me go.

[Amy]

Like a gust of wind.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Like, I. I don't know if it was an actual ghost that touched me.

[Eddie]

But you've always said it was a ghost.

[Amy]

But you have to.

[Lunchbox]

There was a ghost.

[Amy]

If it's not touching you, did it use a stick? Like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

Also, can I make One more. One more comparison analogy, which is hearing. So you're saying people. You can't talk to dead people. And again, I'm not fighting for it. I just.

[Lunchbox]

You can't.

[Bobby Bones]

So there are certain frequencies that even we can't hear that the other of us can hear. You know, if we do that thing, it's like, raise your hand when it goes out.

[Amy]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And so with age is one of the reasons that it starts to get worse. But different humans can hear. Can literally physically hear different things that other humans can't hear.

[Amy]

I almost feel like the frequency. That's how she would sort of describe it. Like it's a different frequency. She's able to dial in to certain frequencies that we cannot and she's not saying she's the only one. She used cheese? No, not that I know of.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, then I'm still in.

[Eddie]

But back to the cheese thing, though. What's the difference between cheese and tarot cards?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't think there really is any, except there are more tarot cards. I think tarot cards are crap, too, because they're just. You're just shuffling a deck so you

[Eddie]

could do, like, stones. Different kinds of stones.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if I were.

[Amy]

Stones have energy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Here we go. Sandy. I was trying. And there we go. We're out. Bones, Eddie tried to get an Airbnb, and he got flagged, I guess, because you guys party too hard.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's what it said.

[Lunchbox]

So.

[Eddie]

So we. We booked it online, and then we even talked to the people, the renter or whatever, and he was like, yeah, this is what the place and this is what it has. And so we were going back and forth through email. So once we booked and paid, he called, and he was like, hey, just a heads up, I got an email from Airbnb that says you guys are flagged for, like, partying. Like, you guys are a partying account. You've had crazy parties in the past. And we're like, no, we haven't. Like, we're six people. We have four crazy kids. So apparently on Airbnb and account, it says that this. These people like to party.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it because you leave the house in disarray?

[Eddie]

I think it's because we're loud. Like, four kids. You know, they have. You know, if we have a place that has a pool, the kids go to the pool and they're loud, and probably the neighbors complain. That's what I would assume.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever get or don't get your full deposit back?

[Eddie]

We've done it one time where they kept the deposit because they said that we ruined bed sheets.

[Amy]

Oh. What? What?

[Eddie]

No, I didn't. I guess one of my kids maybe did.

[Bobby Bones]

How much is the deposit? Is it more than bed sheets?

[Eddie]

It wasn't a deposit. I think it was a fee that we had to pay. It was, like, 150 bucks for, like, the whole bed setting or whatever, but that was it. And. And the only time we've ever done Airbnb is when we go to Texas to visit my mom. And it's just a house that we get with our family. We don't invite anyone over.

[Bobby Bones]

If you had a house, would you like to rent it out to you, your wife, and your four boys?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

You'd be fine with that.

[Lunchbox]

Totally.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you gotta take care of it.

[Amy]

Could it be a mix up? Like a different.

[Bobby Bones]

No chance. No chance.

[Eddie]

I don't think so. Like, our kids are loud.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Our kids are loud. And I'm. I'm just assuming that some neighbor at some point complained and then they wrote it down and one of them.

[Bobby Bones]

Does one complaint get you flagged, though?

[Eddie]

Well, maybe we've had multiple complaints.

[Amy]

Okay, well, between the loud kids and the bed sheets, didn't you like, leave

[Bobby Bones]

a truck in a sink or something? Thing like toys?

[Eddie]

Oh, in my house?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Yeah. I don't know.

[Eddie]

An Airbnb?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, I mean, that was the toilet, right?

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh. My youngest. My youngest son, we finally hired a plumber and they removed the toilet. There were Legos, trucks. There was a PlayStation controller down there.

[Bobby Bones]

Where?

[Eddie]

In the toilet?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Yes way. Yes.

[Amy]

That's. How big is your hole?

[Eddie]

He had thrown everything possible in there.

[Amy]

The. The toilet hole.

[Bobby Bones]

There was a PlayStation controller in the toilet.

[Eddie]

Wires, all kinds of things. When the guy lifted up the toilet, they're like, oh, my gosh, there's a whole set of toys in here.

[Bobby Bones]

And do you know which kid did it?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Oh, yeah, of course. The youngest, the baby. Well, he's seven now, and that's fun

[Bobby Bones]

to just stick things in that hole and flush it to him.

[Eddie]

It was like, there is a magical hole in the bathroom where things just disappear and he would just flush things down the toilet forever and ever. Until one day it just didn't work. And then we had to call the plumber. No, I never told you guys that.

[Amy]

Yeah, you did. That's right. Not the controller.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember the controller.

[Amy]

I remember the controller.

[Eddie]

That was the guy. I was like, this is the first. Never seen that one before.

[Bobby Bones]

So did he stop doing it after he got like, what do you say to him?

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're like, no. More like, that doesn't happen. And then he was like, oh, okay, okay, got it.

[Amy]

You made him pay the bill because

[Eddie]

we didn't know stuff was going down there.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't know there was a missing game controller?

[Amy]

Well, you just assume the kids, like, it's hidden somewhere. You can't find it like a couch because you just think it's missing. I think it's like down the toilet.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

That's wild. Lunchbox. Your kids ever do that flush crap? No.

[Lunchbox]

They did drop a golf ball in there a few weeks ago and it was with. There was stuff in the toilet and they were playing with a golf ball and they dropped It. So then you had to decide what do you do? And so I had to get tongs and a. Like a spaghetti. Like, you know, those little spoons that you do spaghetti with and kind of finagle it out of because it went down the pipe and you had to get in there and I was able to extract it.

[Amy]

Interesting. They just leave stuff in the toilet and play with golf balls.

[Lunchbox]

I know they were going to the bathroom, playing with the golf ball, and they stood up and they dropped and it bounced in the toilet.

[Amy]

Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you for the clarification.

[Bobby Bones]

Is this only a boy thing? Obviously I have a girl.

[Eddie]

I don't know if girls do this or not. I don't know. It doesn't sound like a thing. A girls.

[Bobby Bones]

Girls would do, like, flesh stuff. Like, watch the magical hole that it goes down. What are you doing with the Airbnb? Are they still letting you stay?

[Eddie]

So the guy was just like, you know what? We trust you all. You're a family of six. Have fun. So we're like, cool. So he vibe. He didn't. He ignored the warning. But that's just crazy to think that our account just has a big old warning now that just lives there.

[Bobby Bones]

You understand it though, right?

[Eddie]

I get it, I get it.

[Lunchbox]

But.

[Eddie]

But it seems like we're party animals. It sounds like we're having ragers. You know, we should have.

[Bobby Bones]

If you guys are listening right now, call our voicemail line if your kids ever flushed anything crazy down the toilet and leave us a voicemail. I would love to Hear those voicemails. 8, 7, 7, 7, 7, Bobby. That's our number. 8, 7 7, 7, B O B B Y. Hit up the voicemail line. Let us know what your kids flush. That'd be awesome. It's a Bobby Bones show interview, in case you didn't know. I do think I've seen every episode of Reba and not when it was live. I saw a lot of them then, but then when it was airing on, like, cmt, tbs, I think I've seen every one of them. And her best friend on Reba is Barbara Jean. What's her best friend? But she married her ex husband. But that's Melissa Peterman. And then she played Brenda on Young Sheldon. And now she's back on Happy's Place, which is on NBC. It's also on Netflix now, too. So Melissa Peterman. Super cool. I didn't realize that we had spent some time together when we did Reba's in D.C. the Kennedy Center Honors. We both were part of that. So I talked to her about how she got her role on Reba. Super funny. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now. Melissa Peterman, you and Reba go back to Reba. Is that when you guys first started? Did you know each other pre Reba, the show in, like, 2001?

[Melissa Peterman]

No, we did not. The first time I met her in person was the first day of the table read for the show.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you didn't audition for her or with her?

[Melissa Peterman]

No, I didn't. When I auditioned, the show was still called Sally, I believe, because they didn't know she wasn't attached yet. So at that point, I was auditioning for this show, Sally, and I believe by the time I got to like that callback where you're in front of network at that point, she was attached to it. And I thought, oh, my gosh, please let her be attached to it, because I just feel like it will.

[Bobby Bones]

She's.

[Melissa Peterman]

She's sort of like everything she does sort of works and turns to goals and, like, I just wanted her to do it, and I just wanted to meet her and. But I never auditioned with her. Nope, I did not.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your process like, even auditioning for Sally? Because she's told that story before about how it wasn't about her until, you know, she accepted it. So was that initially just a large casting where you went in with a bunch of other people that look like you and, you know, had. Had your characteristics?

[Melissa Peterman]

Yeah, I mean, you know, I went in and to me, it's. It sticks in my mind because it was one of those auditions where the. The script was really funny. I love the idea of this character that they were create. Creating of the. The other woman, the new wife. And I just. But I didn't quite know how to attack it. You know, I was like, gosh, I usually, you know, when you. You know this, when you have. When you get it, you're like, oh, I see who this person is. And it wasn't until I was. I remember sitting in the parking lot about to go in, and I just went, oh, I got it.

[Amy]

It.

[Melissa Peterman]

I got it. I have. I. I have to play her that she has no idea that they are not best friends. I. I have to play that. I have no idea that whatever insult or anything she throws, it's like, I don't. I wouldn't. It doesn't register with her because I have to think that, of course we're going to be best friends. We have so much in common. You know, we like the same guys. Or whatever it was. But I just go, you. She has to be. She can't fight back. She has to just know, like, oh, she. We're going to be best friends anyway. So I just remember having that click

[Bobby Bones]

and go, oh, do people often think you're from the South? Yeah, I did. It's funny, until I started researching you,

[Melissa Peterman]

I just met somebody actually yesterday somewhere that was like. So wait, you weren't from Texas? I'm like, no, I just. I did my Barbara Jean. I just did it.

[Bobby Bones]

I was talking to Melissa Peterman about what it's like to work with Reba again on Happy's Place, and they did the show Reba together. She was Barbara Jean and why that reboot of that show never happened. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Amy]

Melissa Peterman

[Bobby Bones]

with Happy's Place and with Reba coming back, and you guys are all together again. How long ago did this bubble up as an idea and did you think it would manifest itself into, like, version

[Melissa Peterman]

two of you guys after the Reba show ended? Immediately. I feel like we knew we wanted to do something together again. You know, she. I think she made up jobs for me sometimes just so we could hang out. You know, she took me on the road, and I did stand up. I opened for her and for her and Kelly Clarkson, then her and George Strait when they were on the road, which was such a wonderful experience. But, you know, we were sort of always looking. It was sort of out in the world. We'd love to, you know, some time would pass, we'd love to do a project together. And some came and went. Some were like, you know, and the reboot was always sort of in that world, too, like, could we get a reboot? And, you know, that never seemed to come to fruition, whether it was like, who owned the rights, who was going to do this? So that didn't come. You know, Reba and I always trust her because she's so great about this business and she has such a great perspective of, you know, when the time is right, it'll happen. When the project's right, it's yours. I had no idea it would be this many years later. But there were some ideas that were floated. They weren't the right ones anyway, so Julie Abbott, Kevin Abbott's wife, who is our original showrunner, the first show and the showrunner on Happy's Place, came to Kevin with this idea about sisters of someone finding out they didn't have a sister. So Kevin took that and ran and brought it to Reeb and I. And we loved it. I mean, I don't know way my love happened, but I. I loved it too. And sort of that's where it was born. It was Julie Abbott, Kevin's wife, who has been, you know, part of. We've all known each other for. Since the original Reba show.

[Bobby Bones]

What is Reba like to work with professionally?

[Melissa Peterman]

She's a great example. You know, she is prepared, she treats everybody with respect and she likes to have fun. You know, she doesn't need to do this right now and she wants to do it because she really, she loves it. She has so much fun. You know, Reba, she's lovely and she makes sure, like my fav. The goal is that anybody who leaves that set, they walks away. They walk away saying, I had a great time, people treated me great, and I want to come back. And she does that. And it's, you know, it's really fun watching her and Rex together. You would think that you would get tired of, you know, seeing how much in love they are and how cute they are, but I'm not yet. And they really are quite fun together. And he's great.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, congratulations on getting renewed for a third season again. That is such a big deal. I bet it's so fun to do Happy's Place because it's new.

[Melissa Peterman]

You need to come out to a lot. You need to come to a taping or be on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I. I guess that was not

[Melissa Peterman]

the reaction I was hoping for.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I just have been. Hollywood is so. And I'm not comparing you to this, but everybody in. Anytime I do any meetings, and I was talking to someone about this recently. I was talking to Tom Bergeron, who I love as a host. Right. And. And he's the greatest guy. And I was like, every time I come and do any meeting in Los Angeles, they promise me the world. They tell me they're going to make me the biggest thing ever. They're going to give me millions of dollars right there in the room and. And then I walk out and I never hear from anybody. And so, you know, I just have that association with anyone in Hollywood that's like, you should do this and I just should react like this. Oh, thank you. That's so nice of you. But I have this reaction. Yeah. You know, right.

[Chad]

It's.

[Amy]

I get it.

[Melissa Peterman]

That was a proper reaction. But no, you are beloved by Reba. I, I would, I would like us to, like, I think. You know what? Don't believe me, but you should.

[Bobby Bones]

Fair enough.

[Melissa Peterman]

Bones. Alright.

[Lunchbox]

Bobby's on the mic.

[Bobby Bones]

So you know what this is? This is the Bobby Bone store. And now time for the morning corny.

[Ray]

The morning Corny.

[Amy]

What do you call a truck full of bison and a buffaloed.

[Bobby Bones]

A buffaloed buffalo.

[Ray]

That was the morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. On Tuesday, we review things we've watched. Tuesday reviews day. I will go first. I watched a movie on Netflix called BlackBerry. It's been out a while, but it just was on Netflix. And it's about how the BlackBerry was invented, created its story, its rise and its fall. And you would think, kind of boring. I liked it. It. I give it four out of five Canadians. It feels a little absurd at first. I give. I did like it. And I learned the whole thing. I never had a BlackBerry. I wasn't cool enough to have BlackBerry back in the day. And the thing that separated it was the. The keyboard on the bottom. And the thing that killed it was the keyboard.

[Eddie]

It's.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, if you like learning stuff, it's good. And then again, the guy from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Glenn Howerton, is in it and he plays this really absurd. True. And you're like, this is not real. Then all of a sudden you're like, man, this guy's awesome in it. So four out of five Canadians. Amy.

[Amy]

I also watch BlackBerry. Yes. And I give it four out of five keyboards on a phone like it. Yeah, I liked it a lot. And I. It's one of those where you want to Google during and after and to

[Bobby Bones]

see if everybody made money.

[Amy]

Yeah. They look like in real life, three main guys. Did you Google what they were worth?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, but I don't want to say because Me neither. Yeah.

[Mike]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's pretty crazy. One of them, I was like, I know, I know.

[Amy]

I was like, okay, this is so interesting. And yeah. How something can be. I mean, obviously know the. The rise and the fall of it.

[Bobby Bones]

It was a massive part of culture. I mean, it.

[Chad]

It.

[Bobby Bones]

They had such a big share of all cell phone market, and then all

[Amy]

of a sudden, number one phone in

[Bobby Bones]

the market, the iPhone comes along. I think we kind of know how this end. The iPhone comes along and it's like, oh, crap up. And just cut the legs out.

[Eddie]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

So eight out of ten combined.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. How about us double combined up? All right. Did you watch anything else?

[Amy]

That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Movie Mike, did you watch anything?

[Mike]

I watched a documentary called Sky King on Hulu.

[Bobby Bones]

About what?

[Mike]

It's about that ground agent who hijacked a plane.

[Bobby Bones]

A ground agent to. Hi. I don't know what that means.

[Mike]

It was like in 2018, he was working and then just decided, I want to steal this plane. Took it on a JoyRide for like 90 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

And he called in. He's like, tell my family I love them. I just want to.

[Mike]

Oh, there's almost 90 minutes of audio of him just having conversations with air traffic control. Why he did it, all the emotional stuff he was going through.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you ever see the clip on YouTube or anything? No.

[Eddie]

That sounds so good.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it also breaks my heart because I remember watching the YouTube video and listening to him talk to the air traffic control guys.

[Mike]

It's crazy to watch because they have his family on who have never heard that audio before and like their emotional reaction to hearing it for the first time, it's.

[Eddie]

It's hard to watch that stuff.

[Amy]

Wait, and what's it called again?

[Mike]

Sky King.

[Bobby Bones]

It makes me emotional just you talking about it, because listening back to it, you could tell that one he was sad. He wasn't going to hurt anybody. He was just like, maybe I told my parents I want to be. Make them proud of.

[Mike]

And then at the time it happened, they had no idea what his intentions were, so they were treating him like he was a criminal, like a terrorist,

[Bobby Bones]

like he crashed the plane into something.

[Mike]

But the entire documentary is just super emotional.

[Bobby Bones]

What you give it.

[Mike]

I give it a four out of five just because it's hard to give it more than that because it feels kind of wrong. Because it's. It's really well done. But the entire thing is sad.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to be in the right mind.

[Mike]

Yeah. So it kind of puts you in a place after you watch it. But I think it's a really impactful story.

[Bobby Bones]

I haven't thought about that. That YouTube in a long time. Was it like Seattle or something?

[Mike]

Or like Washington?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, all right, Eddie.

[Eddie]

No. Started a few shows, but haven't finished anything.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Keep your mouth shut. All right?

[Eddie]

Yes, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I watched season three of Hacks, and I really like that show, but, man, I felt like season three was just kind of. Maybe I'm over it. Maybe it's been too long. So I give it three and a half late nights out of five. It was just.

[Chad]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Are they doing four now? Is it the final season?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, that's roughly loosely based off Joan Rivers.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, like Gene Smart. That's the Joan Rivers type character. I really like season one. I like season two. Season three, to me, was the same. Yeah, it's hard to stay good, but yeah. Morgan, anything?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I watch Happy Place on Netflix. I love a good, like, sitcom type show. And this one was so funny to me. It was nostalgic. Reminded me of Reba because Melissa Peterson's also on it and I enjoyed it. There was like, 20 episodes, and it was such an easy, fun watch. So I give it four out of five drinks.

[Bobby Bones]

So had Melissa Peterman on earlier on the show. She's so funny, right?

[Morgan]

She's hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Barbara Jean. And Reba, she was so funny. And that whole thing is on Netflix. If you want to go watch that or listen to the podcast, just search for the Bobby Bone Show. All right, There you go. That's Tuesday reviews day, everybody good? Yeah. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Glory of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Houston, Texas. A woman was driving through a school zone. So she slows down. The truck behind her, mad. She slows down, pulls up beside her. What are you doing? You need to learn how to blink and drive, you idiot. You need to speed up.

[Bobby Bones]

In the school zone.

[Lunchbox]

In the school zone.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Lunchbox]

Lady keeps driving and notices the truck is following her. At the next stoplight, she sees the guy getting out of the truck, and he goes to the back of the truck and he pulls out. What does he pull out, guys?

[Eddie]

A gun.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna think it's not a gun because you're setting it up for a gun. He pulls out a Dalmatian, a machete, a plunger. Say, okay now. Yeah, we're on it. Go.

[Lunchbox]

He pulls out a machete.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Amy]

I win.

[Eddie]

Good job, Amy. That was a fun game.

[Bobby Bones]

You nailed it.

[Amy]

A wow. I really am.

[Lunchbox]

I'm so impressed.

[Amy]

I have to say.

[Lunchbox]

Good for you. And he went up and tapped on her window and said, get out of the car. You don't know how to drive get out of the car.

[Bobby Bones]

So I wonder what is. What the idea was if she did get out of the car and he had a machete, because he gonna actually chop her up.

[Amy]

No. Maybe a little like Zorro. No. You know, just on the surface type cuts. Like.

[Lunchbox]

Like a warning slice.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because I'm assuming she didn't get out of the car.

[Lunchbox]

She didn't get out of the car. And he eventually went back and got in his truck, and she wrote down the license plate. He got arrested.

[Amy]

He's very passionate about the school zone.

[Bobby Bones]

No, he was not passionate about the school zone.

[Lunchbox]

He was mad. She's mad.

[Bobby Bones]

She was slow in the school zone, Bone.

[Amy]

Oh, I thought he was mad at her.

[Bobby Bones]

For girl, that I would kind of understand. Like, you shouldn't do that.

[Amy]

I thought he was sort of vigilante, being a bonehead.

[Bobby Bones]

That would make slightly more sense. You still don't do machete?

[Amy]

Sorry. It was silly of me to try to make sense.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, he's got the knife right up to her window, and he's like, get out of the car.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it for everybody out there. Don't get out of the car. Yeah, yeah.

[Eddie]

Don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

He also has her kind of blocked in, so she can't go anywhere. Yeah, no, no. Yeah. No.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know. I know. That's. I don't know why he's passionate about

[Bobby Bones]

not slowing down in school zones.

[Amy]

I don't know why I was trying to give him a slice of goodness.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they got pun. Okay, Lunchbox. There you go.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day?

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan said she rode with Lunchbox in his car. Why?

[Melissa Peterman]

We.

[Morgan]

When we were going to Atlanta, I rode with him because we were driving, like, 30 minutes away. We live right next to each other, so I didn't want my car in the parking lot while we were gone for the day.

[Bobby Bones]

You went all the way down to Atlanta?

[Morgan]

No, like, we had to go meet up in a parking lot to get on the bus.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Morgan]

So you just rode with him?

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. And then how was that?

[Morgan]

There was no room for me.

[Melissa Peterman]

His.

[Morgan]

His car was like a pack rat.

[Eddie]

What car is this? His wife's car?

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Morgan]

That he drives most of the time, because I don't. You don't have another car?

[Lunchbox]

Correct.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But this is also a very similar story that we heard about his other car before it died, too. Why? What was in it?

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. There was, like, fast food bags. There was lunch boxes.

[Amy]

There was balls everywhere.

[Morgan]

There was Trash. There were clothes. I'm not kidding. Like, this looked like he lived in his vehicle.

[Bobby Bones]

Once in his old car, someone opened his trunk and, like, spiders started coming out of his trunk.

[Lunchbox]

True story.

[Bobby Bones]

Because there was just so. It looks like a hoarder.

[Eddie]

Well, when he says, like, he recycles stuff, but all the cans and bottles were in the trunk, so they never

[Bobby Bones]

made it to the recycling center yet.

[Amy]

He would say yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Yet. He would say, yet. Yeah. So it's pretty gross.

[Morgan]

Yeah. When I went to get in the front seat, he's like, just throw stuff in the back. And I was literally chucking stuff in the back to just sit in the front seat with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Your response?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, it's tough when you have three kids. There's a lot of balls, a lot of food. It gets eaten in the car, which means a lot of trash, because kids leave a lot of trash behind. And you have different clothes, outfit changes and.

[Bobby Bones]

And yours.

[Lunchbox]

Some of mine, some of theirs. You know, I mean, who knows what's all in there but their artwork. You know, they get home, they get in the car from school, and they leave their artwork in there, and then it piles up. Listen, when you got a family of five and you're coming and going, it just adds up over time. And, you know, after a week, you notice, like, man, we're getting buried in this car.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. Family of five. But this was before you had a family of five. This has been consistent even in your car.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Maybe it was hereditary.

[Bobby Bones]

It was just all garbage. Like, you had to kick. Take the floorboard out of stuff and throw in the back seat just to sit in his car.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Before. Family of five. Would you guys agree with that?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I'm just. I'm very. I won't throw anything out. Like, I could just.

[Bobby Bones]

It's called a hoarder.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, I could just. In a parking lot, like, some people just dump it out. You know, they just leave the trash there. I don't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

No. You know, I've never seen a parking. Somebody just dump out trash in the middle of a parking lot when.

[Amy]

Why is that the only other option?

[Eddie]

At a park, you know, when you pump gas, you know how they have trash cans right there? That's a perfect place to dump your trash.

[Lunchbox]

I've never even thought about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, take it out right where the track. Like, while you're pumping, in that a minute and 45 seconds while the gas is pumping, you don't grab, like, cups and garbage and put it over Never

[Lunchbox]

even thought of it.

[Bobby Bones]

Where it's annoying is if the gas station trash can is overflow over the top. Because it happens when they don't take it out. And then you got nowhere to put it. That sucks. Yeah. It's Morgan. It's nothing new.

[Morgan]

I know. I'm just shocked that at this point in his life, there isn't a little bit more. Especially with his wife. Like, they share that car.

[Amy]

So imagine the house.

[Lunchbox]

Why?

[Bobby Bones]

His house is the same.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Could you imagine that? Maybe it's my wife fault, too.

[Bobby Bones]

It's your wife fault?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Quit my mind.

[Amy]

They must be the same in that area. Cause I can't imagine her being that way. But it's gotta be.

[Bobby Bones]

My theory is she's too.

[Amy]

She's too. She's got other things going on.

[Bobby Bones]

My theory is his force was too strong and took her over. Because I don't think she was that way.

[Eddie]

Like, she gave up on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's like, how.

[Amy]

Like, just how are you gonna fight it? Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Well, if she's picking up after three kids, that makes a fourth kid that she's picking up after.

[Bobby Bones]

But he's the one that's passed that down to the three kids.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Because the kids aren't expected to take their trash out of the backseat of the car and throw it away.

[Bobby Bones]

Or the house.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, they are. But, you know, sometimes they forget. And when you're going somewhere, like if you're eating a snack on the way there, and you say, get your trash, and you tell them to get the trash, and then, you know, a day later, you look back there, man, they left that banana peel. They didn't get it.

[Bobby Bones]

But what about your house?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they pick up sometimes. I mean, it's a mess. I mean, it happens. Ask Eddie.

[Amy]

Do they have chores?

[Eddie]

My house is pretty clean. Yeah. And I made a big deal about. For years, I've been like, all right, we're here, we're home. Grab all your stuff. If I see one piece of trash left, someone's in trouble.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we're going down two different roads. And I don't think the kid road is fair. Because I've seen people's houses with kids, and I've seen even Lunchbox's car with no kids. And it's just gross anyway.

[Amy]

Yeah, right.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray lived with them. Ray, when you and Lunchbox lived together.

[Ray]

Yeah. There were definitely dust bunnies. And there would be so many. Sometimes when you'd put your feet down from the couch, you just see all these dust bunnies go across the floor,

[Amy]

and they would lift into the air.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't have any kids?

[Ray]

No, we had two dogs. And it was a small space for two guys with animals.

[Bobby Bones]

Messy.

[Ray]

It was filthy. I mean, for a year, we never vacuumed. We never dusted.

[Amy]

Wait, that's sort of on you, too, though.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Ray]

I didn't live down there. I just was in my room.

[Amy]

But your room was full.

[Eddie]

What about the dishes, Ray? Was there a problem with the dishes?

[Ray]

I never ate there, so I never did dishes. But, yeah, the sink was always full.

[Bobby Bones]

So you just went and slept in your room and that's it?

[Ray]

Yeah, that was just my quarters. The other layer, I would only go to the bottom floor when I needed to get to my vehicle.

[Eddie]

Ray had a refrigerator up in his room, like, everything he needed. PlayStation refrigerator.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Ray]

I just. I didn't feel comfortable down there because it was so filthy.

[Amy]

Well, so lunchbox is the adult, but do you. Do you have chores? Like, do y'. All. Do you require chores of your kids?

[Lunchbox]

Not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Do your kids require chores of you?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, they do. Tell me, dad, our car is the messiest we've been in.

[Amy]

Did you have chores as a kid?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, interesting.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Chad]

Like what?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, like, take the trash out of the yard.

[Bobby Bones]

That didn't skip down to you.

[Lunchbox]

Feed the dog. You know, things like that. Clean your room.

[Eddie]

What was your house like as a kid?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, it was a mess.

[Amy]

So I think this is all just.

[Lunchbox]

It's hereditary.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but you just learn it.

[Amy]

Some people break the generational message.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I think environmentally you've taken it. I don't know that it's passed down.

[Lunchbox]

Right. I mean, it's sort of like lateness, if you get that from your parents.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not heretical.

[Lunchbox]

It's hard to break. Like, that's how you've lived your life.

[Amy]

Like, you can break it.

[Lunchbox]

No, I understand, but you've lived your life for so long.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want your kids to be gross when they get older?

[Lunchbox]

Man, I don't even consider it gross.

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan, is it gross?

[Amy]

Yes. We've all seen.

[Morgan]

There is possibly an animal hiding in there for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

We for sure saw spiders in his own car. Okay, well, I'm glad you got to experience it. I thought she said she went to Atlanta with him. I was like, oh, my God. You're in that for four hours.

[Eddie]

What a nightmare.

[Bobby Bones]

What a nightmare.

[Morgan]

30 minutes. I was like, there's not a lot

[Amy]

of room in here for me.

[Bobby Bones]
