[Bobby Bones]

What does the house like to wear?

[Amy]

A dress.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, an address. Address. That was the Cory.

[Amy]

Now, do you say, hey, what's your address? Or what's your address?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably hillbilly. Me, Address.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh. Mexican means address. Okay.

[Amy]

I think I say address.

[Bobby Bones]

I think. Listen, there's a lot of similarities in Hispanic, Mexican, and hillbilly. There is? Yes. The Venn diagram. Except for, like, skin color, we're very similar, so. And even skin color, we get a little dark, you know? I'm saying Eddie Redneck. Of course. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, what. What's your address? It's. Address.

[Amy]

Yeah. What's your address?

[Bobby Bones]

No, yeah, yeah. I. That. You're right. I mean, you're not wrong.

[Amy]

Do you say caramel or caramel?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but caramel, though, because caramel seems like something you'd say if we went to Harvard.

[Amy]

Oh, caramel.

[Bobby Bones]

Like.

[Amy]

Like almond or almond.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody says almond. I quit the bit. Nobody says almond because now I know you've run the bit because not a single. Okay.

[Amy]

Pean or pecan?

[Bobby Bones]

Say tomato or tomato. Like, Nobody says tomato.

[Amy]

Everybody says. Everybody says tomato.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Tuesday reviews day. What did you watch in its entirety? What did you finish? Amy, I'll go to you first. Tuesday reviews day.

[Amy]

How to Rob a Bank. Because somebody here said that and said it was, like, really good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay. How to Rob a Bank is on Netflix, and it's the story of a guy who robbed banks. Right. And it tells you his. You hated it.

[Amy]

One star. One bank robber. One star. $1 bill out of five. Whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched it. I watched it because the guy said it was awesome. I did not think it was awesome as they said it was, but I did like it.

[Amy]

So much unnecessary information about the whole situation.

[Bobby Bones]

I.

[Amy]

Look, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

It just showed. It showed us wiener a lot.

[Amy]

I definitely was surprised when they showed his penis in the treehouse. But also too much time on some of his backstory in the treehouse. And all the things like, okay, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Thought that attitude again. I didn't think it was good as they did. These guys walked in acting like it was the Godfather. Well, I think it's always interesting how someone robs a bank and how they get away with it for so long. Me, too. But I thought. I think I gave it, like, three and a half to give it one. Seems a bit low. But, hey, it's your review, Amy, so.

[Amy]

You can, I guess Robin Banks is not my thing, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's good.

[Amy]

It is kind of crazy how to this day. Because that Was a long time ago, and to this day, people still rob banks all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I ever review the. On this show, the chief's mascot robbing the bank?

[Amy]

Yeah, I think he did. Because I.

[Bobby Bones]

That. That's a documentary on Amazon.

[Amy]

And honestly, I think that's what I thought I was watching.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you went to the wrong.

[Amy]

Remember you assigned me Chiefsaholic, and you.

[Bobby Bones]

Watched the other one. You watched the wrong complete one.

[Amy]

Well, I don't want it to admit that that's why it happened, but that's why it happened.

[Bobby Bones]

That's hilarious. Okay, well, you still have to watch Chiefsaholic.

[Amy]

Amy O.

[Bobby Bones]

Right. Because the Super Bowl. Yes, Chief, you'll like Chiefsaholic better. It doesn't show his genitals. There's that. Yeah. Chiefsaholic is about a massive super fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. It got pretty famous locally. And he would go to all the games, but he. How he would fund his lifestyle to go to away games. He would rob banks on the way to away games. Yeah. So wouldn't have been caught. Was good at it.

[Amy]

I'll have that for next Tuesday's reviews days or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. And then Mike D. I think your Tuesday reviews day, because I know what it is, is the greatest Tuesday reviews day of all time. And just at. How long it took you to do this before you say what it is, how many episodes of this show were there? 131 episodes. What? Can you guys guess the show? 131 episodes? I don't know. Something that has that many shows, except for, like, mash, West Wing, those type shows. Sopranos. Was that that long? I don't know if it's 130, but my.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I got one.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you have?

[Lunchbox]

Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

[Amy]

Oh, inside.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably. Probably.

[Lunchbox]

That has like, 15 seasons.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Mike, I watched an anime called Dragon Ball super and it's straight 131 episodes, not broken up into seasons. It took me six months to watch it. It's one season. It's one. It's just one continuous thing. They have, like, different story arcs throughout, but it never breaks down for seasons. That's how animes work. Are they done with it, though? It's. It's over now. Oh, I don't even know what that is, but I'm not gonna hate. I also watch things people make fun of me for. That's pretty nerdy, though. But I also. I watch nerdy things. It felt so good to finish it to hit that final episode. And I can go on my Crunchyroll, which Is the streaming site. I had to. To buy to watch it. You bought what? You bought a streaming site just to watch this? Yeah, there's this anime site called Crunchyroll.

[Amy]

Yeah, my. My daughter Crunchyroll.

[Bobby Bones]

Crunchyroll. My wife makes fun of me for it. She's like, oh, you're on Crunchyroll, huh? That sounds like an std. You got Crunchyroll. Is it itch? No. What? Okay, so grade it before I say anything else. I give it 4.5 out of 5. It is an almost perfect show. It's like such this. The big journey that you go through. I feel like a different person after watching it. Is it good? Because if it's so unlikable by anybody on the show, if we just will not like, it doesn't matter. That's one thing. If it's something that we would all be like, I don't want to watch it. But we'd watch it. You think we'd probably like it. We can put it on the wheel. Every person on this show would hate it. Oh, really? Yeah. I don't want to do 130 episodes of torture then. Yeah. Thank you for saying that, Mike. Well, we made Lunchbox watch, like, NCIS Australia. That was funny because it was, like, 12 episodes of torture. Yeah. Okay, so. And you rate it high that you like. Yeah, 4.5 out of 5. And it's called Dragon Ball super, not Dragon Ball Z. That's a different thing. Yeah, there's a different one. Of course it is. How stupid am I? And I'm gonna go back and watch that. That has, like, 230 episodes. Same family. Yeah, just different iterations of it. Okay, there's your Tuesday reviews day. Let's. I saw nothing. I was on the road all week, so I don't watch anything. I flipped through channels in the hotel room. I've not done that in years. Just flipping through channels. Anything good?

[Amy]

Mario Lopez.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they didn't have that nars where he does the movies.

[Amy]

Every time I check into a hotel.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I will on channel. The first channel that loads up. Yeah. I watched Arkansas and Alabama play basketball, but that doesn't count. And I'd review that terribly. Although we. We lost, but we. We played pretty well. Bones. Researchers found a surprising number of people cry, almost all men, when they're watching sporting events like the Super Bowl. So we'll start with that. Amy, if you're with a group of people and you see a guy is watching the super bowl, say his team wins and he's crying. Your thoughts?

[Amy]

I Think it's okay. It's very rare. Could have been something he used to watch with his dad and his dad's no longer around and.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, well, you're really going deep.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's absolutely fine then.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just saying. You're just watching. Yes. Okay, great. By the way, I think that it's. Oh, I'm gonna say this before. We'll talk about this very loosely and lightly. I think Amy feels the same way. I do. If you're a dude and you want to cry, cry.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There's nothing. There is, there's no shame. I hope there's not a stigma that you hear. See on social media, think guys can't cry. So. But we're going to have a good laugh at it because some guys cry more than others and. But I think if for some reason you have an emotion, you should let that emotion manifest itself. Unless that emotion is like murder. Okay, cool. Everybody good? Good. Okay, now back to the part where we light heartedly talk about stuff. Okay, so that happened. So what if your team loses the Super Bowl? Different version. But they lose the super bowl and you're crying. How do you feel about that? Better or worse?

[Amy]

I'm gonna need it to be a very emotionally touching experience. Like this is.

[Bobby Bones]

You're sad. It's sad. Oh, you're dying.

[Lunchbox]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Okay. That's your level of it. Being normal or.

[Amy]

Yeah. Or like your dad's last. And this is what y'all used to do together. Like something like that. You can't, you didn't become a fan, you know, last week and then all of a sudden you're crying.

[Bobby Bones]

But okay, let's take away. Because I, I do think that's a funny theme that you have created to allow the guy to cry. Dad dying. Let's just say you're just watching a team that you love and there's no, you know, we're not going to put any super sentimental other than the time you've invested over your life watching it. If your team wins you and a guy's crying, you feel like.

[Amy]

I feel, I feel like that's okay. You're happy tears. This is really great.

[Bobby Bones]

I got a couple tears when the Cubs won the World series.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

In 16. I think you're 16. I'm bad at years 2016 because I, I, that my whole life I waited and there were people that lived to be 80 and never saw it. That was a big deal for me.

[Amy]

Big.

[Bobby Bones]

Got a couple tears. I got a worse one coming up though. That you will laugh at. But okay, if they lose or do you feel like that's just sadness? You're like, you're taking it too seriously. It's just a sport, like just a game.

[Amy]

I think I actually, in this last second just changed my mind and I think I'm okay with it because clearly I think there's other emotions that need to get out. There's something else going on and it's built up and this is your way to release it. So I'm okay with it.

[Bobby Bones]

From this University of Michigan study, when we watch sports, we empathize with the players, coaches, and other fans while thinking back to the emotions that we experience playing a particular sport. Research shows that people absorb the emotions of sporting events that get drawn in much like a good movie with heart wrenching scenes. I've never thought of it like that where you are. And again, I think now part of sports is the storylines of the players and coaches. Like, that's. We want to go so in depth. We want to know. We create heroes and villains and so. Okay, I can feel that lunchbox. If you're with a bunch of dudes watching the super bowl and you see a dude crying because our team lost, do you think that's weak, y'all?

[Lunchbox]

It's weak. Like, what are you crying for, dude, you didn't do crap. Yeah, you cheered him on. You can be sad, but crying look like a doofus. Like, I love. What I do love, though, is when they pan the crowd and they show people crying, like on tv. That's my favorite part because I'm like, loser, loser, loser. You don't cry.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I think if my team lost, I don't think I'd be a crier at all. I think I would just be like, this sucks. I mean, most of my team suck anyway all the time. And it's stupid and I hate it. But I love them. But it's like I'm used to losing. I'm just a. I'm just a loser. I am a loser and so hurts. And I feel rage. I don't feel sad. And then I feel sad. Later. I go through all the steps, but I cried watching the Royal Rumble. The wrestling. What? And what's the. We do the tik tok trend now.

[Amy]

We listen and we don't judge. Yeah, except for what made you cry during that.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, I'd like to explain to you what happened and I would like for you to listen and feel free to judge. Okay. I would like for you to judge, but be honest and don't do it for comedic reasons. Do it for judgmental friend reasons. Okay.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm watching the Royal Rumble, which is a big battle. I feel so lame even telling the story. It is a big 30 man. One man goes in, another guy goes in, and every, you know, a couple minutes, a new person comes in. The last man standing wins the whole thing. Okay, familiar? You familiar with it at all?

[Amy]

I'm following.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So they go. And it's like three hours long. And it's down to two people. It's John Cena, and he is making his very final Royal Rumble appearance ever. And if he wins, he goes to WrestleMania. And the other guy is J Uso. And so I don't really know Jay Uso that much. I know he's on a tag team, but I've not been an A plus wrestling follower over the past five or six years. I've been like a B minus. I watched the big ones. I watched some of the pay per view stuff, but I haven't. But I was a massive wrestling fan, younger. And so it's John Cena's last ever Royal Rumble because he's been a big actor and he only comes back occasionally. And he even says it. It's the whole thing. Even walking down the ring, he's like, this is my last one. So you're kind of emotional for him, for anybody finishing their last anything. And obviously John Cena is going to win. It's his last one. He's going to go headline at WrestleMania. And at the end, John Cena loses. Now, John Cena wouldn't have lost unless he said it was okay for him to lose. And he goes in and he's so. He's congratulating Jey USO because they're like, lifting this guy up to be the next champ. And the fact that John Cena was like, I'll lose to put this guy over, I just, like, had tears coming down my eyes. It wasn't even about him winning. It was about him, like, doing the greater good for this other guy that's newer and, like, putting him over when he easily could have been the Royal Rumble champion, which everybody expected. And I'm sitting there, I just got tears flowing out of my face. And I was like, you're such a goober. But it was more than wrestling. It was like this dude who could have won but wanted to help somebody else out instead. Your thoughts, Amy?

[Amy]

That's beautiful. Do you think you'd be able to do that? I mean, because that's pretty. No, I'm Saying like what you saw done, like feeling that. I don't know, I'm just picturing like 20 years from now if you're having to like, hand over to some young.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, I can do that no problem. Yeah, I'm gonna do it before I. It's even time to go.

[Amy]

What do you mean? Why?

[Bobby Bones]

I plan on handing you this show real soon, so I'm out of here. What? No, that's not. Actually. That's what this bit's about, Amy. Okay, okay, it's yours. I'm outta here.

[Amy]

Okay, that's not what I meant. You'd have to hand it over to some young guy that, like, you see yourself in, like your time is up. Like, you know, and you've. Yeah, that's hard. Like, I'm. I don't know, I'm just trying to picture John having to do that. And maybe some of that is you processing. You may have to do something like that one day. Not now.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. I still see me as somebody doing it for me because I feel like I'm 19 in my heart, but I hear you.

[Amy]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought, I thought it was. I don't know, I got emotional. I thought it was super cool because I. John Cena could have said, yeah, I'm coming back, because he only came back for this and he's gonna. He'll wrestle a bit before he retires, but. And he didn't win and he. And he could have, but he passed it over to somebody else somebody knew that they wanted to put over.

[Amy]

I was moved make fun of you for that. I think it's really. There's nothing wrong with that. It makes sense.

[Bobby Bones]

The microphone is yours.

[Lunchbox]

You're such a goober, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

You.

[Lunchbox]

You cried over a scripted wrestling match like he didn't have a choice in what was going on. They don't say, hey, John Cena, let me write it. They told him, hey, this is what you're going to do. You're going to hand it over and that you're going to get paid millions of dollars to hand it over. That is so easy to do. You crying in a fake wrestling match, dude, you are 44 year, 43 year old man. It is so embarrassing. And we should delete this clip from the Internet. Like people hearing you crying over wrestling. Dude, you're not a five year old kid. You are an embarrassment to men.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you and I am.

[Lunchbox]

That's why you carry a purse.

[Bobby Bones]

I do carry a purse. That is correct too. I feel like John Cena could have had them Rewrite it, though. He's like, I'm not coming back. And. Because he definitely could have. He had all the power. He could have said, I'm not coming back unless I win, so. But I just want to know how everybody felt. Amy says it's okay. Lunchbox obviously agrees with Amy. I can tell by his tone, he really. He agrees with Amy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't expect to cry either, but I did. Now I'm thinking about going to WrestleMania. I'll be honest with you. I never. I'm thinking about going. I know. I know. I'm thinking about it. I don't even know the date of it. It's. It's in Vegas. But do you like movies? Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

That's different.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not. This is that. But this. This is a movie.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. All right, man. Enjoy that. Crying over a wrestling match. Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, WrestleMania is what day?

[Amy]

April.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not till next. Oh, wait. What month are we in? Nowhere in February. April, 19th and 20th. Two days. It's two nights. Two nights of crying. I don't know if I can handle it. I never been to WrestleMania. Oh. What? Hey, Morgan, you're a girl. What do you think? Am I weak?

[Amy]

I don't think you're weak.

[Lunchbox]

Obviously, it's something that, like, evokes some.

[Amy]

Emotion for you for a certain reason in your life.

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder why. I know. I know. I wonder why Amy said, I don't know if that's it, but you're. I think Amy's onto something. I think you're onto something, too. It is. Yes. It's rooted in something.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

And, I mean, is it a little bit weird?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

But it's not like, oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

If I was dating a guy and this happened, I'd be like, oh, I'm out.

[Amy]

See you later, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

The fact that you would even think you have to consider if you were dating a guy in this happened makes me feel like a Goober. Amy, go ahead.

[Amy]

This could be. You know, Lunchbox brought up your age, which I'm pretty sure. Yeah, you're 44, and you're turning 45 in April. This could be your birthday party, because, yeah, it's in April, and you could plan a whole birthday party at WrestleMania.

[Bobby Bones]

I sound seven now. Like Lunchbox said. I literally sound seven years old.

[Amy]

Well, it sounds like this is special to you.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you're going to cry at your birthday party. I don't know. Okay. A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're going to go, you're going to meet a friend and you order a drink and you say, I want it here. You're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks. Visit Bobby Bones here with exciting news.

Yeah, I got a text from my wife and she said hey, there was a guy that killed his stepson and they weren't able to Capture him and he's on the run. You need to come home as soon as possible. How close to your house was this news? Same area, community, like within 20 houses? No, not 20 houses, but I would say a radius of three miles. Really? Yeah. And so he. Do you know if he like, left in a car? On foot? They said on foot. And they had the description. They were leaving the details pretty vague because they didn't want if he had social media to know where the cops were zeroing in on him. So they just said, sweatshirt, shorts, tattoos, six foot tall, white dude. How long until they found him? Or did they? He was on the run for 36 hours.

[Amy]

Oh, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So everybody's butts just clenched in your neighborhood, right, not knowing anything? Does he have a weapon? What are they saying, he's got a gun on loose? Well, there was rumors of the gun, but then we found out that he killed the guy with a knife. So he was knifed? He not. Oh, he must have been real. That's some rage type stuff. So where'd they find him? Well, after about 24 hours, that's when they came out and said, hey, there's a reward of $2,500. That's how they found them. They offered cash? Yeah, I told baser, my wife, I go, hey, I'm going to go start checking culverts because usually these guys hide in a boat or some. An enclosed area under houses. So I checked under there with flashlights. I went to at least three or four different culverts, seeing if he just hold up there. And then he got busted because he was found in a cave and he lit a fire. And one of the people in the area saw it and called the cops. He was in a cave. Is your town, do they have caves? I mean, is it known for that? No, I didn't even really know these existed, but they're in the woods. I mean, probably where they make moonshine or something. There's all kinds of caves and place you can hide. Wow. Your wife, was she scared? Yeah. They said don't go outside. People really weren't going and doing Amazon deliveries. Yeah. And when I'm checking my car in the morning, I was, there's a little bit of a jump scare. I look underneath, look behind it. You never know where that dude's gonna be hiding. And they found him in a cave because he lit a fire. Yeah. How far was the cave from the neighborhood? How far did he get? He had made it on foot two miles from where the original stab happened. Like, I think if you gave me 36 hours. I'm. I'm gone. I think I could steal enough cars. The problem is the cameras everywhere. So I would have to, like, buy. I'd have to stop by Spencer's Corner and buy a mask. So I'd go and give me a black light poster and buy me a mask at Spencer's Corner, and I think it'd be tough to find me, but I do think I could hide. I've always said if I. If you gave me an hour, I could hide from the cops for 24. If you gave me an hour running, I could hide. You wouldn't. I think no cop could catch me for 24 hours. You ever see that thing on social media where they do that now? Where they try to hide in the. In. It's. The cops have a certain amount or the. They're real cops, but they have agreed to play this game to try to find the people that are hiding in the area. Have you guys seen that at all?

[Amy]

No.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe. Because I talk about it, it gets fed on my algorithm. It's. It's pretty cool, though. I think I'd be good at that. This. Whenever I was just moving to Nashville, I'd had some security stuff, and, you know, I got jumped at work, and whenever they were kind of saying, hey, you should live in certain places, they said, hey, there's this community. It's. It's a gated community. We feel like you should live there because the company was having to pay insurance on me that was a little higher because I'd had some security issues. And so I lived there because it was so safe. And, like, I'm there for, like, a few weeks, and dude kills his wife and then is on the run in the streets with a gun. Do you guys remember this? Oh, yeah. They wouldn't even let me out of my house, and. But I was like, no, I'm essential. I need to go because I'm covering the news. I come in and we play. Tell me. I mean, we just do stupid bits, play games. Yeah. Yeah. But they let me out. I pulled up the news story. A man is accused of fatally shooting his wife. 42 years old. He lived in this community, and he was gone for a day and a half as well. And they found him in the woods back behind the community. No fire. I think he just ended up walking out of the woods and surrendering. They locked down the whole town and searched through the woods, and they say, here it is. He walked out of the woods behind the back of his house and Was taken into custody at 6am on the next day, he just gave up. But then he was right behind his house in the woods. So that was crazy, because they were like, live behind these walls. It's safe. But it was inside the walls that the guy had, like, killed his wife and was running around with a gun as wild. I remember helicopters flying over, and I was like, man, what is happening around here? And cops are all over the streets going, stay in your house. You ever have anything like that happen to you, Amy?

[Amy]

No. That's not what I ever would have expected for you in that neighborhood, ever. That's like, just the stuff you move.

[Bobby Bones]

It was too unsafe. It was too unsaf. I moved.

[Amy]

It's like an episode of snapped. But the guy snapped.

[Bobby Bones]

There was another, like, murderer in that same neighborhood. Yeah, like a few years later, same neighborhood, man. But I don't like living around. I don't like living around rich people, man. They go crazy. I like being where there's normal crime. I don't like living around rich people crying. That stuff's nuts, Bones.

[Amy]

Question for you guys. Please help us settle a debate.

[Bobby Bones]

Is ant as in my Aunt Karen?

[Amy]

Is that ant or aunt?

[Bobby Bones]

How is it pronounced? Depends where you're from. And I went to a town. I went to a town. I lived in a town where there was a railroad track. And it was. We had white quarters and black quarters, and in the white quarters, it was ant, and the black quarters it was aunt. But the more southern and older you got, regardless if it's black or white, it turned into auntie. So there were like, three different versions of that where I grew up. So ant is how I say it, but that sounds like I'm talking about a bug. Aunt. It just matters where you're from.

[Amy]

So much more sophisticated. Aunt, auntie, Aunt. I don't know, but I say aunt. I'm with you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So there is not a right or wrong. It's.

[Amy]

It's no.

[Bobby Bones]

Where you're from. I think we probably all say aunt. Eddie, what do you say? I say aunt. Always have. Okay. What do Mexicans say? Dia. That's the Spanish word for it. What about Hispanic Americans? Gosh. Like me. I mean, that's. That was me, so it's aunt. I think just aunt. What?

[Amy]

Your uncle, you say something like tio. Fufo.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, tio, but that's. That's Spanish. So tio is the uncle and tia is the ant.

[Amy]

Right, but what's fufo?

[Bobby Bones]

That's his name.

[Amy]

I thought it had something to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. There is no right or wrong answer, caller. Thank you for the voicemail there. It just depends where you're from, how old you are. You know, age and region define that. Let's go to the next one. Jacob in West Virginia. Bobby, Bobby, Bobby.

[Amy]

New Orleans.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on.

[Amy]

It sounded like you were dissing the city. We are big fans of yours and you talk about our city like that. No, no, no, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

You shouldn't do that. I don't think you heard me correctly. I. I hated it that I couldn't eat the food in New Orleans. Hated it. It was miserable for me. All the people that were nice there were the people that lived there. The people that I did not like were the tourists who peed everywhere. You said that I did not like New Orleans on this trip because it was too many tourists. So this is an example of somebody hearing about an eighth of what I said and not hearing what I said when I said it. The people that were the nicest there is when I would go somewhere to eat or I would go and the people that were working or the police officers that lived there. Awesome. The people that weren't cool. The people that flew in from other cities and were like, drunk and urinating everywhere. Not cool. Also not cool. I have a white bread stomach now at this point. And if you go to New Orleans, you're gonna love the food if you can eat it. I can't eat it.

[Amy]

You can't take the Cajun now.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't take anything. So. No, that's Jacob.

[Amy]

I. I feel like maybe that was a no.

[Bobby Bones]

That's just what happens with my daughter sitting in my lap at night. That whole thing confused me. No, it's a woman. It's my fault. Okay. Okay. But no, that is an example of you not hearing what was being said. And that is what I said before. I'll say it again. Love. The people that live in New Orleans that are the locals. Did not like the people in New Orleans. I thought I saw a guy pooping in a trash can. I wasn't sure. He was either sitting on it.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh. Where? His pants up or down?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Couldn't tell. Why would you sit on a trash can? And it looked halfway, but was for sure a tourist where everybody was just getting trashed. So that's what I said. Thank you. There you go. You want to do one more? Let's do number two. Ray. Hey. I'm just looking for an update. Before Thanksgiving, Lunchbox had mentioned how surprised he was at how much money Songwriters can make. And you told him to write a song after the New Year's. I was wondering, whatever happened with that? Nothing. He didn't do it.

[Amy]

I don't even remember that.

[Bobby Bones]

I do.

[Amy]

But he was gonna write a song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And he didn't do it.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, hold on. I started writing lyrics, but then I realized you have to write, like, actual music. And I don't even know what that means. Like, you have to come up with, like, how it goes. Ding, ding, ding, ding.

[Amy]

Melody.

[Lunchbox]

That's what it's called. And I'm like, I don't know how you do that.

[Bobby Bones]

As we said, he didn't do it, so that did not happen. Thank you for reminding. We get a lot of these reminding bits, and for the most part, we just.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, songwriting is a lot harder than I thought. Man.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy lost the wheel. She has to read this book called Fourth Wing. 500 pages. But you have the actual book? Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

I went and got it at Target. It is huge.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh. Oh, you have it?

[Amy]

Yes. Oh, it's pretty big.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, the benefit of reading on an iPad is you don't get intimidated by the size of the book. Because there are a lot of times if I. There's a book I want to read and I see it's like that. Like I read the Steve Jobs biography. I don't think I would have read it if it had been a real book, because I'd have been like, no, too big a mountain to climb. That thing's huge. Yeah, no, it's pictures of dragons in there.

[Amy]

That's pretty thick. No, there's no pictures. But a dragon without its rider is a tragedy. And a rider without their dragon is dead.

[Bobby Bones]

When do they make love?

[Amy]

Somewhere in the world? Okay, so here's what I'm gathering. There's no human dragon intimacy. However, the dragons can be in their writer's mind, so they're part of, I guess, whatever's happening. I'm not to that part yet, but.

[Bobby Bones]

I do feel the making love.

[Amy]

Maybe I haven't gotten to any lovemaking yet, but I have gotten to a part where a guy mentions that his dragon is in his head at all times.

[Bobby Bones]

You started?

[Amy]

Yeah. Started.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I gotta get started. I mean, do I have a deadline? Because I was like, I better 2029.

[Bobby Bones]

Looks like I need that for that book.

[Amy]

No, no, no. But what is my deadline? For real with you?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't need to give you a deadline. Just do it.

[Amy]

That's not true. I've completely forgotten to do things before.

[Bobby Bones]

I trust You.

[Amy]

But this, I've got it with me right here. Honestly, I'm gonna have to carry it with me everywhere I go. Any free time, I gotta read it.

[Bobby Bones]

If you carry that thing with you wherever you go, you have massive biceps and a very strong back and big quads. So, yeah, good luck with that.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Better luck with that. My. I have apparently have zipper issues. I think I've always had kind of zipper issues. But, like, even when I got dressed up over the weekend, I have pictures. My zipper is just fully down. Oh.

[Amy]

Remember, not to bring up something sad, but at your mom's funeral, your zipper was down.

[Bobby Bones]

Really?

[Amy]

I had to come up to you because you were giving the eulogy. And honestly, I don't know if I noticed it when you were up there for the eulogy or if it was before. I just remember having to come up to you and being like, bobby, you're gonna want to sip your pants.

[Bobby Bones]

Do I have too much going on?

[Amy]

I don't. What?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, my eyes got too much. Like, that's what I tell myself. He's got too much going on up here.

[Amy]

Oh, you don't like it? Busy. I thought you had too much going on, you know, elsewhere.

[Bobby Bones]

That would be down here. That would be down there. Purvo. That book's got her voice already. She's already in. She's already in. I remember we were doing the Million Dollar show, and, like, people were like, here's ever. Not only that, in my comedy special, there's a point where it's down.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

And I didn't want to put the part in where we had to fix it, but it was down for, like, four minutes of the special, so we had to put it in to where we fixed it, or otherwise it just is down. And then all of a sudden, it's not down anymore. But we were dressed up in suits at, like, an NFL event, and, like, some random lady came up to me and was like, hey, your zippers down. Like some fancy lady. Old lady.

[Amy]

Okay, so you're thinking that your brain is so busy with other things, you forget to zip it up.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I'm just saying that, but something's up. Yeah, something's up. So that's my resolution. My New year's Resolute. My February 11th resolution is to zip my pants. But then some of my zippers break. I got, like, three pair of pants with broken zippers.

[Amy]

Maybe you're diagnosed that. Are you zipping too hard?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, maybe. So here's the thing. I cry at John Cena and My.

[Amy]

I have zipper issues and stomach issues.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna.

[Amy]

You're falling apart.

[Bobby Bones]

I texted my wife that a minute ago.

[Amy]

Texted her what?

[Bobby Bones]

You know, the stomach stuff. I was like, yeah, may have to have surgery. What did she say to that? She's probably like, because of AI. Yeah, I know. I come to her with stuff all the time. I think now it just. It's water off a duck's back, you know what I mean? So she was like, okay, good luck. We'll see if you forget about it by the time you get home. That's pretty much it. So. Okay, we're gonna come back and do the news. I got a story about a. A kid who. Maybe a young adult whose WI FI network made the plane stay down. Like on his phone. He labeled it as something.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, do. We'll do it next. Bones. A child was arrested by police at a hospital following reports of a person impersonating a doctor. Witnesses claimed the youngster attended the hospital on the morning of January 19th wearing scrubs and a fake ID. Amy, he was 13.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

You think he's one of those with like a little almost full mustache?

[Amy]

Well, maybe he was wearing one of the little mass surgical masks.

[Bobby Bones]

Because still though, yeah, 13 stuff. Police were called in. It's not been confirmed which part of the hospital the kid was on, nor if he had access to medical records.

[Amy]

Okay. I swear, too. At a basketball game, junior high the other night, there was a kid that looked like he was in college. So I don't know, maybe this kid looked older. Yes. Playing like every parent in the stands was like, what university is this kid from? Because, like, there is no way he was in seventh grade.

[Bobby Bones]

Listen, there were kids like that, too. When we played, there was always some kid who was way bigger, who hormones hit early.

[Amy]

So many.

[Bobby Bones]

But rarely is it a young person looking old. A young person faking older.

[Amy]

No, he definitely wasn't faking that he was older. He just looked older. I'm just saying maybe this 13 year old looks older.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if I. I would probably go fake be a ninth grade basketball right now if I could. Just for a night. Yeah, wouldn't that be awesome? Just going dominate. And then you get there and you realize you're not even that dominant. You're like, I'm gonna crush these kids. And then all of a sudden you get pushed around. That's what would happen. Manchester Evening News. Next up, an American Airlines flight delayed by a bomb threat over a passenger's WI FI network. Name. So you put your phone, you can make it say whatever you want as far as your WI FI network. And they had to delay it for more than three hours because the hotspot name was I have a ba home.

[Amy]

Okay. That's literally what I was guessing in.

[Bobby Bones]

My head because oh man, what an idiot. Police boarded the flight 2683 bound for Charlotte on Friday afternoon and got on and said we need you to identify yourself. This is when I had a slumped in the chair and then turned my phone off and put it in the pack. Like in this the phone would have been gone.

[Amy]

I mean it's kind of cool that they're paying attention to that all the time. I mean I wonder if just like the word bomb shows up anywhere if they get a notification.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm sure someone just saw it on their. You search for networks? Oh, I don't think there was any sophisticated. No, this is just. I'll look for WI fi, I'll see if it's on. Sometimes it doesn't go on till 10,000ft where you can buy the Internet. And so sometimes though you depending on the airline you get it on the ground and all of a sudden I'm like trying to find aa.com wi fi and it's like I have a bomb. Yeah, I'm raising my hand up. Ding.

[Amy]

That's true. Sorry. I thought that they just automatically got notified if something like that came up.

[Bobby Bones]

But all passengers were eventually hauled off the aircraft and held inside the gate. They all had to get re screened at security. The entire plane groaned when they announced it. Oh, I'm trying to. I wish I knew. Did it. They should identify this person. They don't identify the person eventually cleared after a swept for explosives. Oh man, that sucks. Okay, so that's again from the New York Post. Studies show that your child probably isn't sleeping enough every night.

[Amy]

Your kids, Amy, I think they get plenty of sleep. We try. I mean I'm not but any certain.

[Bobby Bones]

Amount of rules or anytime they try to go to bed do they have a goal of sleep?

[Amy]

Yeah, I try to make sure they get 8 to 10 hours child sleep.

[Bobby Bones]

Experts agree that 5 year olds need 10 to 13 hours of sleep a night. Grade schoolers need 9 to 12 and then it continues to slightly go down from there. Middle schoolers 8 to 10 then once you get to be like upper high school just beg for eight basically. Is it? That's from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. We've been told it's eight hours our whole life. Do you think if we were always told it was four hours, our bodies would probably just adjust eventually.

[Amy]

I guess so. But we definitely need way more than that.

[Bobby Bones]

Sleep is so bizarre.

[Amy]

I thought you were gonna say overrated. I was like, no, it's not. You should try it.

[Bobby Bones]

I just think it's so bizarre that our body has to turn off completely, just like a phone. We have to recharge just like any device. We have to do what we do to our devices.

[Amy]

Yeah, but it's doing so much while we sleep. So it's not turned. We're not turned off. We're working.

[Bobby Bones]

And neither is our phone. It's not turned off. It's plugged in to the wall. I mean, we are basically a device and we have to recharge just like any device that has to keep going.

[Amy]

And imagine if you didn't charge your phone appropriately. It doesn't work. Right.

[Bobby Bones]

We are just a device. And that is what's weird. And then we have. We just go to sleep, and then you just blink and wake up and all the time is gone. And did it even really happen? Oh, don't even get me started.

[Amy]

Yes, it happened, according to you. Okay, so you can think all this stuff people can't believe in. Mercury retrograde.

[Bobby Bones]

No, there's no yes if you believe in astrology. Like, not for fun. I don't believe it. I just think about it. I do think time happens, but I'm going, I can't see it. I don't know it. A lot of people have faith in things they can't see and don't know.

[Amy]

No, I agree.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Boom. Got you on that one. Hey, you got a little whisker tone there, didn't you?

[Amy]

Well, I'm not. I'm just saying that there is no.

[Bobby Bones]

Factual evidence in astrology. If you're. If you're like, I believe in it. All the planets are lined up, right? Now you see this in the news. All the planets are lined up for, like, the first time in a bunch of years, right? And somewhere today, somebody's going, oh, I'm not feeling good. Because all these planets are lined up. So that means all the planets lining up affect somebody. Do you think everybody's affected by the planets or only you? And because you happen to be half. Not you, I'm talking to astrology weirdo. Or because you're an astrology weirdo and you're just having a bad day. So you have found that to kind of lean on.

[Amy]

I don't know. I think that there's energy and we're impacted by that. Like somebody could walk in this room right now with weird energy and not everybody's going to be impacted, but somebody might.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's not the same thing as Jupiter being a degree to the left. And so you're having a bad day, your hair didn't curl right, so it's Jupiter's fault.

[Amy]

Maybe it's the technology of your hair curler. Because they do say that Mercury retrograde messes with technology.

[Bobby Bones]

0% scientific evidence or data that astrology exists in any way whatsoever. You're telling me everybody born in a three month period has things in common?

[Amy]

Oh, I don't. I'm not talking about.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I know a lot of Aries.

[Amy]

Do you think that Mercury retrograde only works if.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what that means?

[Amy]

Retrograde Pisces stuff works. Like if you know your, your astrology sign. I'm not, I'm not an. I'm not speaking.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what you even mean.

[Amy]

I'm not saying I'm someone that believes that. I'm just saying sometimes you go off on all these things that may or may not be true, but there's no room for Mercury retrograde.

[Bobby Bones]

I believe when we sleep, time does go by.

[Amy]

But you also think we might be in a simulation.

[Bobby Bones]

I think, yeah. I mean, I think if you, if you believe you're going to heaven at some point, this is just a temporary body you're living in and this is a simulation just called a different thing. So. Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah, but we're not like laying somewhere in a cocoon.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't claim that's the truth. It's a theory. But I'm saying if there's a bigger part, and this is just a temporary thing, and if you're going to heaven at some point and there's a bigger thing controlling us, that would be another version of that. Just the term.

[Amy]

Is that true?

[Bobby Bones]

Boom. Got it with the true boys.

[Amy]

I'm not.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm standing by this. Astrology not real.

[Amy]

I've just heard people talk about it in a way that sounds really believable.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Bones, are you an Aries? What are you? Who cares?

[Amy]

I think you are.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, absolutely. Affects nothing. Unless I'm bored and want to like read and go.

[Amy]

And is Aries personality type the type to argue with?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm an eight. I'm a challenger because I'm an Aries too, so I'm nothing. We're nothing really alike. That's true. We're friends, but we're not really the Same people.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I think it depends on your houses and your moons.

[Bobby Bones]

See, here we go. Here we go.

[Amy]

I know nothing. I know nothing. Obviously. I just.

[Bobby Bones]

None of us know anything too. That's also the weird thing. Everybody's an expert all the time on everything. In reality, we know nothing. Most people don't want to argue about inflation. Don't even know what inflation is. I like saying inflation, though.

[Amy]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Inflation. People want to argue about astrology.

[Amy]

Or my cousin could argue with.

[Bobby Bones]

About astrology. The psychic cousin.

[Amy]

Yes. She knows everything about your houses and your moons and what time you were born. Like, she'll ask you exactly what time you were born and then put together this whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

And here's what I'll say to that. I can't prove she's wrong.

[Amy]

Right. I know. That's what's so.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can't prove right now that.

[Amy]

I have stomach issues. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

A soul, or I'm actually a real person. You can't prove it.

[Amy]

You are a real person.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a physical being in front of you. You have no idea. You can't prove that.

[Amy]

I can't prove, though, that we have souls.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have faith that astrology is fake.

[Amy]

Okay, yeah, maybe. I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, boy. I do have faith. I'm gonna start doing the Metamucil two week challenge, which is gonna be good. So you've been traveling and, like, sluggish. You're way down. You could be that your digestive system maybe isn't at its best. So I'm gonna do it. I have it here for your. What do you call it when you dry? Dry scoop it?

[Amy]

Yeah. You just want to go dry.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I'm dry scoop it.

[Amy]

What is it recommended? I think it's recommended to put it in.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Water. I actually put in water. Okay. But I'm gonna try the Metamucil two week challenge because I need to feel lighter. I need to feel more energetic. I gotta get Digestive Health going if you guys want to do this with me. Metamucil.com learn more and sign up these statements that I'm making. I have to say this when I make statements like this have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. We figured these products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. But I'm in. And I wonder. Can I dry scoop it now?

[Amy]

Yes, try.

[Bobby Bones]

Do it. Do it.

[Amy]

What's the. What's the scoop size? Because then that'll determine if you can.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, the scooper. Is down in it right now, and I don't feel like digging for it. And getting the stuff on my desk can be that deep, right? I'm. Dude, I'm knuckles deep in it right now. You can't feel it. Hold on. You got me. What? I'm gonna chug it. Good luck. Me.

[Amy]

Wait, you're just throwing it back dry. You're not even gonna use the scooper?

[Bobby Bones]

It's in the thing. I have to go. Have to pull it out. He's drinking it like a cup.

[Amy]

Okay. What's the flavor? Orange.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks orange. Oh, he. Man, you got a scoop full. You have, like, a milk mustache.

[Amy]

But it's Metamucil. When you add water, it's gonna become really.

[Bobby Bones]

He started talking, and all the powder came out.

[Amy]

I think it's, like gelatinizing in your.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, man. That was funny. Oh, man. Yeah, that's tough.

[Amy]

But it's pretty good. When you host a radio show to go dry on powder.

[Bobby Bones]

Put that one in water.

[Amy]

You should talk.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't recommend dry. What's it doing in your mouth? It actually doesn't taste bad. It's like. This is orange or something. This is.

[Amy]

It's orange.

[Bobby Bones]

It is. It tastes pretty good. I'm gonna do it for two weeks, but it's the only time I'm doing it dry. I spit. I spit stuff everywhere. All right, I'm taking a break. We'll come back. Those were Bobby's big stories. A lot of my friends, they can't even get their day going without stopping by Starbucks for me. Love Starbucks. Love to get a chai tea. And if I'm ready, if I really need a big day, I'll get that double shot of espresso ready to go. But the great thing now at Starbucks is, is that if you go and you decide you want to hang out in Starbucks for a little bit, they're now doing ceramics, like glassware. So if you're gonna go, you're gonna meet a friend and you order a drink, and you say, I want it here. You're gonna get it in a mug or a glass. There's also a condiment bar. It's back. Now you can add the finishing touches to your drink so you don't have to go, well, I need a little more of this. I need a little less of this. You can do the perfect amount of cream and sugar. You now have even more reasons to stay a while at Starbucks. So you go to Starbucks anyway. Next time, stay a while at your next Starbucks. Visit Bobby Bones here with exciting news.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Tulsa, Oklahoma. A man broke into one of those escape rooms, you know what I mean, where they lock you in a room and you can't get out. Got to figure out the clues. We broke into the building and he got stuck in the escape room.

[Bobby Bones]

It's hard. Wow. Does he have to figure out how to get out? I've never done an escape room. They're fun. They're not just like, like there's just like an emergency way out though. No, they lock the doors and you've got to find the clues. That's hilarious. So he broke in, then had. Okay, well, a dog is upside down on Wednesday. He's got to figure out the code. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

He has to figure out the riddles.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so let me back up a second. So tell me. I'm familiar with what an escape room is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You've done it.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

When you go in, are there people that you don't know?

[Lunchbox]

I did it with a group of everybody I knew. So we had the whole thing to ourselves.

[Bobby Bones]

And what's in the room, it's just different.

[Lunchbox]

Like, numb. I mean, every room is different. We did a jail cell and they had numbers on the wall. They had, like, mirrors. They had. I mean, just all sorts. And you just have to figure out what do I need to be looking at to get out of this room?

[Bobby Bones]

Is it a riddle you have to figure out or is it stuff you have to put together?

[Lunchbox]

It's riddles. There's puzzles. There's everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you usually do well at this?

[Lunchbox]

I've done it one time and usually they give you.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you win?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

That's all I wanted to know.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we got out.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. Not we did you. Oh, you don't work together.

[Lunchbox]

You work together as a team.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I wouldn't. I'd take it all in the corner by myself and figure it out and leave everybody else behind.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Unless you wanted to be in my tribe. Yeah. It's fun.

[Lunchbox]

It's so fun. I just did it with the coaches convention and it was amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you see how if a guy breaks in, he wouldn't be able to get out?

[Lunchbox]

100%. If you're by yourself, there's no chance. You need a bunch of minds going.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, that's a challenge to me. Do you don't think I could go and buy myself and figure it out? No, you can figure it out. You don't think you can figure it out?

[Lunchbox]

No, not by any.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, multiple arms to put stuff together. I could see that. I don't think you do. Depending on the game because they are different themes. Like, you can be on a rocket ship. You can be in a jail cell. You can be in a house, just.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, like a jail cell.

[Bobby Bones]

1.

[Lunchbox]

You wouldn't have been able to because we had three people in one cell and three people in another and we had to work together to get each other out of the cells.

[Bobby Bones]

So if it took more than one human body, I don't think I could do it. But I think I got the brain of nine. Challenge.

[Amy]

Oh, nine.

[Lunchbox]

I'll set it up.

[Bobby Bones]

Toddlers. Nine toddlers. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

When you want to go? I'll text my people at escape room.

[Bobby Bones]

He has people at escape room. Okay. So he. He can't get out. So how does he get out?

[Lunchbox]

Wait till the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, really? So he tried the whole night?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I think he finally went to sleep, though.

[Bobby Bones]

What? What an embarrassing story. Okay, I'm lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

That's your bonehead. Story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Voicemails number one. Hey, Amy, I'm in my late 30s, and I've been taking Adderall since, like, late teens.

[Amy]

And I was wondering what made you.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop taking it and how you feel, Amy?

[Amy]

Well, I stopped because I feel great on it whenever I first start taking it. I've been on and off for several years, and when I have to start to up the dosage, that's when I'm like, oh, I really don't want to do that, because I was on the lowest dose possible, and then. Which was 10 milligrams at least for me. And then I had made it up to 20, and I allowed that, but I would only take it every once in a while, and then I was gonna have to up from 20, and I just was like, I can't do this. I'd rather stop. It's. It starts not working, and then it has negative effects on me. Like, I didn't feel like myself, and it's just not worth it. I'd rather be natural and just embrace my. My adhd. Now, there are certain things that I do to try to get under control. There's little brain hack exercises that I do that help me get things done. And you can take natural herbal supplements and stuff. Like, there's mushrooms I'm dabbling in, like, just legal.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Oh, got it, got it, got it. Okay.

[Amy]

Legal.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, there's, I don't know, methamphetamine I've been toeing through. Go ahead.

[Amy]

Yes. So I'm trying to research just natural ways that I can help get under control, but also embrace the parts of it that are beautiful and different.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have any left?

[Amy]

Any lines?

[Bobby Bones]

Mane? Any Adderall left?

[Amy]

Oh, yes, yes, yes, I do.

[Bobby Bones]

What did she call? What did you call the other thing?

[Amy]

Lion's mane is the mushroom I'm taking.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. Got it. Yeah. And so what do you do with the leftover? And what could you sell it for street value?

[Amy]

What? I have no idea. And I don't want to sell it illegally.

[Bobby Bones]

Just asking.

[Amy]

I did. There was something I needed to do the other day, and I. I thought, you know, if I just go to my bathroom right now and I take an Adderall, I will get some stuff done.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought you were gonna say I just go and sell it, make a few bucks. My mind went somewhere different.

[Amy]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what street value of Adderall is.

[Amy]

No. But I did think about taking it, and then I was like, no, no, no, no, not worth it. I finally feel normal. It took me a minute to get it totally out of my system and just find my groove. And I think I found my groove.

[Bobby Bones]

Grooving, baby.

[Amy]

I didn't want to derail it for one productive day.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's go to the next voicemail. I just wanted to say to my soon to be ex husband, Mason, you, dude, you suck.

[Amy]

You cheated on me.

[Bobby Bones]

Why? While I was pregnant with a girl that you worked with and then left us. You suck. And if all that's true. Yeah, you suck. And I can appreciate her calling our voicemail lines to leave that. That. That is a random one. I, like, makes me realize I'm glad I don't have that drama in my life right now.

[Amy]

It's a lot to process.

[Bobby Bones]

That is a lot. So, Mason, if true, as she said, and I quote, beep you. All right, next up, number three. I was listening and hearing about Lunchbox Call.

[Lunchbox]

I wanted to bring his kids and his family on the cruise y'all are doing next year.

[Bobby Bones]

And I hate to break it to.

[Lunchbox]

Him, but if you look on the cruise ship's website, the topshelf countrycruise.com, it says no passengers under 18 years old.

[Bobby Bones]

So I hate to break it to.

[Lunchbox]

You, Hunter Box, but you gotta go.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell your kids the bad news. Great point. Didn't know that. Makes it even easier. You could not bring them on. Anyway. Thoughts?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, yeah, I know Bobby told me I couldn't bring them on. This was before we. I never looked at the website to look at the age. I just looked at the boat and showed them pictures and they were super excited to go and. Yeah. And their dreams are crushed now.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, no, that's. It's okay. Well, don't show them a voting machine either, because then they have to be 18 to do that.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Voting machine. Doesn't look as cool, though. Like, I mean, I showed them the boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I was like, that's on you, but that's on you. You didn't know if, one, it would be allowed because it's a work event, and then two, it legally is not allowed.

[Lunchbox]

Now I find out it's not legally allowed. I didn't know that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And then finally, let's go. Number four, Jacob from West Virginia. I'm sitting here live watching NFL honors.

[Lunchbox]

And just thought it was really exciting that the first couple shots they showed.

[Bobby Bones]

Of the crowd and the people in there getting honored. There you are right there in the midd. You and Eddie. Let's go, guys. I'm so excited watching it and get to see you guys, too. I love you guys.

[Lunchbox]

Longtime listener.

[Bobby Bones]

Can't wait to meet you guys someday. I appreciate that. They put us in the second row, right in the middle. They put us there because they had to pull me to go backstage. It wasn't even that they wanted us on tv. They don't know who I am. They know people, for the most part, don't know who I am. It was mostly just, we need to keep them here so we can keep them close. And I just happened to be behind Joe Burrow and they kept going to Joe Burrow for jokes. And so you see my head, you see, like, part of Eddie's head. And then we're just laughing along, but we could see that. We knew the camera was there because it's like right up on him. We just didn't know how much we were in the shot. Turns out we were in the background of the whole shot. But I thought we did a good job of being backing actors. Yeah, pretty good, man. We reacted, the jokes hit. We reacted. Never looked at my phone, which I love to do. Pretty proud of that. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. That's it for the show today. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody. Let's go.
