1. Opening Segment: Song Guessing Game

[00:30 - 06:00]

The episode kicks off with Amy introducing a playful song guessing game to Bobby and Eddie. The game, initially tested in a "test kitchen" (post-show podcast), involves Amy singing or exclaiming the first word or phrase of a song without any musical accompaniment. The participants must then identify the song based solely on that cue.

• Notable Interaction:
  • Amy: "Ain't."
  • Bobby: "Ain't No Sunshine when she's gone."
  • Amy: "It's Ain't No Sunshine, Amy. You're correct." [02:14]

Despite some initial confusion and humorous exchanges over whether certain word fragments count as complete words or song titles, the trio enjoys the competitive yet light-hearted atmosphere. As the game progresses, Amy shares more song snippets, leading to moments of both correct guesses and playful banter about incorrect answers.

• Listener's Concern:
  • "I don't care if she likes guys that I don't know. She's never complained about me liking a woman on Instagram. But should I care if my wife likes some fitness guy's picture on Instagram?" [07:00]

Amy's Response: Amy advises against creating unnecessary stress by assuming intentions behind Instagram interactions. She emphasizes the importance of open communication over baseless assumptions.

• Key Insights:
  • Amy: "If you go to her and you're like, 'I don't like it when you do this,' it's going to wreak of insecurity." [09:09]
  • She suggests that if the act genuinely bothers one partner, having a calm and honest conversation is essential, even if it might initially seem insecure.

Eddie's Input: Eddie reinforces Amy's point, highlighting that both partners need to assess their feelings honestly and avoid projecting insecurities without cause.

• Eddie: "If you don't have a problem with it, should you be asking other people, should I have a problem with this?" [09:18]

The segment concludes with practical advice to limit liking celebrities' photos to prevent fueling insecurities, stressing mutual respect and understanding in relationships.

[Amy]

Dude.

[Bobby]

Elvis, dude.

[Amy]

But Eddie won.

[Bobby]

It's embarrassing. Dude.

[Amy]

Eddie is our winner. Anonymous sandbox. Anonymous sandbox. There's a question to be had. Send it into the mailman. Send it in. Hello, Bobby Bones. Okay, so I have a bunch of girls I'm platonic friends with on Instagram. I'm sure my wife has many platonic friends she follows on Instagram. Their males. Now, I don't care if she likes guys that I don't know. For some reason, it doesn't bother me. She's never complained about me liking a woman on Instagram. But are we both being naive? Should I care if my wife likes some fitness guy's picture on Instagram? And should she care if I like a hot girl's picture on Instagram? Do you care if your significant other likes an attractive person's picture on Instagram? Signed Instagram boyfriend. Okay, here's my advice. It's not this. Don't create scenarios are going to bring you any stress that do not exist right now. Unless in your mind, you really do care and you're saying you don't care. One of those two things are happening, and it sounds to me like you do care. She's liking pictures. The great thing about Instagram now is unless you see it and you follow them, it's hard to find what they like. You can't really track what they like anymore. Or back in the day, you could go and click and see what someone liked and you'd go see all their.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's not a thing anymore.

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

Huh. Why'd they take that away?

[Amy]

Exactly. No, you. That's exactly why. Yeah, I was creating drama. Okay, so it sounds to me like you do have a problem with her liking dudes that are more muscular and better looking than you.

[Eddie]

So this is his way of kind of saying that but not saying it.

[Amy]

That would be my assumption as a dude. I would set it up the same way. Oh, I got girls and she's got. And it doesn't bother me. And I'm sure it does, but. But should it? What I would say to you is, if you go to her and you're like, hey, I don't like it when you do this. It's going to wreak of insecurity. But if there is a reason that you feel she shouldn't like it, meaning some infidelity, some lying, I think that's a different story. Also, if it does make you feel really uncomfortable, you should have the conversation. Even if there was nothing shady going on. But it is going to seem extremely insecure. But I don't believe that you're just sending this out of thin air, going, neither one of us have a problem with it. Should we have a problem with it?

[Eddie]

Right. Because also in general, like, if you don't have a problem with it, should you be asking other people, should I have a problem with this? Like, listen to yourself.

[Amy]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Amy]

If it is about you and you go to her and go, I'm bothered by this. That's fair. If you are bothered by it, just understand it's going to come off as completely insecure. But you do have the right to share that. Now, again, if you see like she's been talking to dudes in her DMs, that's a whole different story. Yeah, but I would encourage you as long as. Not the shady going on. And she's like, let's say she likes a repped up dude, but she's super into fitness. That's okay because it doesn't matter if it's man, woman. Like, they're probably lifestyle things they have in common, but you're treading on thin ice. As soon as you go, I'm really insecure at what you're liking. Now if it were the other way around and she was like, stop. Here's the difference though, Amy, there is a Difference is that guys that like quote hot girls. Girls on Instagram show a whole lot more than guys do. There aren't guys walking around in, like, thongs.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

The girls are liking and, like dancing and percolating with their butt going up.

[Eddie]

And down and like, laying sexy on a boat.

[Amy]

Yes. It's a different culture, too. So before you go, well, your sex is toward one. It's. It's a different environment completely.

[Eddie]

I agree.

[Amy]

So be careful. If you think she's up to no good, you should probably say something. If you don't, you're going to seem completely insecure. But there's a fine line. So I also just don't believe this email. But what if she's up? What if he's up to no good? Like, if she caught him?

[Eddie]

Well, I mean, then that's for them to work out. I think they need to sit down and define what works for them.

[Amy]

Here's also what I'm going to say to you, proactive. Don't like any more hot girls Instagram pages. Even if there's no trouble about it. Don't like it. Just look at it. There's no. You get nothing by liking it except it fed more into your feed or it's a thought of if I like it, she's going to DM me.

[Eddie]

Exactly.

[Amy]

So I would just stop liking them.

[Eddie]

That happens to y'all. If y'all like a photo, the girl dm's you.

[Amy]

No, that's the thought process for a dude where it's like, if I put a comment or I like, maybe they'll see it and see something about me and message me. Okay, this is how I'm ending this. Dude, stop liking girls Instagram pages. It's not your girl unless it's like a close friend or family member. It doesn't matter if she likes likes fitness guys. If she's a fitness girl. That's all. I'm done with this guy. He's already made me mad and there's no reason to. Here's a voicemail from last night.

[Jessna]

Good morning, studio. This is Jessna and Georgia, and we have a morning Corny for you. Hey, Georgia. Knock, knock. Who's there? Normally?

[Amy]

Normally who?

[Jessna]

Normally, I don't eat this much. Happy Thanksgiving, guys.

[Amy]

We love this.

[Jessna]

And to your show.

[Eddie]

That's cute. Yes, it does.

[Amy]

Yes, it does.

[Bobby]

I don't get it.

[Amy]

Yes, it does. Okay. Hey. Knock, knock.

[Bobby]

He's there.

[Amy]

Take me.

[Bobby]

Take you where?

[Amy]

Take me out to the ball game.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

I mean, it's the same thing.

[Ray]

You're just.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it's cute.

[Amy]

It's cute because there's a kid doing it. If there wasn't a kid doing it.

[Eddie]

And it's Thanksgiving and normally you don't eat as much.

[Amy]

Okay, give me the next one. Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Hey, I'm calling to do a welfare check on Ray.

[Amy]

The last week, every time Bobby talks to him and asks him a question, he doesn't really talk, he just goes. And we hadn't heard his iconic.

[Jessna]

Yeah, I'm worried about Raymondo.

[Amy]

Is he all right? Ray, does he have a point?

[Ray]

No, the yip is just a timing thing. That's more business when you ask me for that. But the Y is part of usually a fun, happy bit. But when you just want something that's like behind the scenes technical, then I go yip you. Okay, but that's the difference between the two.

[Amy]

Welfare check. You okay?

[Ray]

All good. Definitely.

[Amy]

Okay. Kind of waiting for a yip, but couldn't get that there. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

[Eddie]

Thanksgiving's tomorrow, so maybe you're hosting, you're trying to figure out what is the best time to serve the meal. Well, the most popular time for families is between 1pm and 3pm and this mid afternoon time frame, it allows time for preparation in the morning so you're not rushed. And then you can enjoy post meal activities like football, naps and spending time together.

[Amy]

I feel like you can enjoy all that stuff anyway, regardless of what time you serve, it's too late. Anything after like one is too late.

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

Because especially if you want to have like a dinner. I'm so. Well, you're not the one cooking so disciplined. On my times that I eat food. Noon to 1 is lunchtime. And if you're gonna have a Thanksgiving lunch, great. A dinner. Thanksgiving dinner is 6:00pm because if I eat a one, I'm not even gonna be hungry until like 9:00 at night. So I disagree with this.

[Eddie]

Huh. Okay, well that's the most popular time between 1 and 3, especially if you're cooking meals.

[Amy]

Well, we've learned being popular usually doesn't turn out for you good later in life, does it?

[Eddie]

No. Okay, thoughts on this? A church now has an AI Jesus for confessions.

[Amy]

Interesting.

[Eddie]

It's a Jesus hologram and you can talk to him. And some people have enjoyed the process, but others just question whether or not it's right.

[Bobby]

That's crazy. Like a hologram.

[Amy]

I don't know that it's wrong. And I think you know, even if you're talking to someone who's not human. Let's say there are these, like, websites you can go to where they, like, give you advice based on your. I mean, just the fact that it's AI and Jesus, those words right next to each other.

[Bobby]

Sounds weird, man.

[Amy]

That sounds weird.

[Eddie]

The church said it did start this sort of as an experiment to spark conversation about AI's role in faith. And some people have enjoyed it. They feel like they're having, like a closer interaction to God. And if you think that, like, God maybe even created this as a way for some people to feel more connected.

[Amy]

Of course, if you believe God created everything, God created AI, like, you can't argue with that. I would say that I'm having to think about this real fast in like 30 seconds. I would say that if you took all the teachings of Jesus and took all the stories from the Bible and because they all written down and they are in a database and you put them in a computer program and you asked and they gave you the answers based on that, it's. It's absolutely just fine. It's probably better than a human. Human could be having a bad day.

[Bobby]

And be like, ah, I don't care about your confession.

[Amy]

Right. But with all the teachings of the Bible, that. Right. The hologram thing would trip me out.

[Bobby]

That would be great.

[Amy]

I'll be like, trying to touch it. My hand goes through it.

[Eddie]

I'm not Catholic, so I haven't ever sat down with a priest to do, like a confession. But did they talk back to you?

[Bobby]

They do. And you're like, you have a screen in between you.

[Amy]

Wait, this isn't just confession, though, is it? I thought you just, like, going for, like, counsel, like, she's a confession.

[Eddie]

It's the AI Jesus Church.

[Amy]

We need Baptist churches too. They need it too. We need it to be preachers and priests. Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

Jelly Roll's nuvar in Nashville is going to be opening soon. It's going to be called Goodnight Nashville and the logo says Burgers, Spirits and Tattoos. So, yep, you're going to be able to drink and get a tattoo all in one spot.

[Amy]

So. All right.

[Eddie]

I'm Amy. That's my file.

[Amy]

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Tell me something good. We had a guy like this where I grew up who always took care of all the baseball fields. He was an older guy and, like, that's just what he liked doing. But he always made sure, like, the fields were mowed. And so in this town, there's a guy He's a veteran named John Farkarson. He lives in Oklahoma. He spent up to eight hours a day, especially in season, maintaining the baseball and softball fields. And so what happened was he has a family member, his granddaughter, who scraped her leg playing softball. I don't know if there was something like, in the grass. So he's like, I'm not gonna let this happen again. So again, he's retired. And so every day for eight hours, he goes out, tests the soil, mows the grass, rakes the infield. And he's done it for so long that finally the community's like, dang, dude, you don't even charge us for this. So they dedicated one of the fields to him, named it after him. Wow. Which is pretty cool.

[Bobby]

That's awesome.

[Amy]

That's pretty cool. They named the field after you. Yeah. But now you can't ever do anything against the law.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. I mean, really, like, there's a whole new pressure once they name something after you and you're still alive. But he deserves it. That's a great story. Caring about, you know, the community and doing it all for free for years. That's from kfor. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Celebrities just throwing their money away. I got few stories for you. Victoria Beckham reportedly bought an iPhone designed by Stuart Hughes. I'm not sure who that is, but it was handcrafted with 150 grams of 24 karat gold. The iPhone cost $33,000. All these are, like, crazy things celebrities bought. Next up, number nine. When Kim Kardashian and Kanye west were Together, they spent $750,000 on four gold plated toilets.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby]

I bet that's cool, dude, that's awesome.

[Amy]

Wow. You guys think that's a cool thing?

[Bobby]

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be cool.

[Lunchbox]

And then, like, someone comes to your house and they go in and they see the golden toilet. They're like, dang, that's awesome.

[Amy]

I would think they don't need people to go into a bathroom to see that. They have really cool stuff, though.

[Bobby]

I know, but have you ever sat on a golden toilet?

[Amy]

No, and I don't really care if I do. Okay. Okay, next tip. Nick Cage paid $276,000 for a dinosaur skull. He later found out it was stolen and had to return it to the Mongolian government.

[Jessna]

Whoa.

[Amy]

He also spent $150,000 on a pet octopus, which he says helped him with his acting.

[Bobby]

What the octopus did?

[Amy]

Yeah. I don't know, dude. Kylie Jenner shared an Instagram picture of herself pushing her daughter stormi and a $13,000 Fendi stroller. And I'll say about that is $30,000 to Kylie Jenner is probably like, a dollar. And she could have also been gifted that because those brands gift them really expensive things to just show the brand. I'm not a Kylie Jenner apologist. I'm just saying they probably were given that. Don't think.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I guess. So if people see her with a Fendi stroller, are other people gonna go buy that?

[Lunchbox]

That's a great question.

[Amy]

I don't know. Maybe.

[Eddie]

I didn't even know they made Fendi strollers. Maybe they made it special just for her.

[Amy]

I saw that some of those things, like, fit. They make wallpaper. Who knew? Yeah. Are they, like. Like Gucci or.

[Eddie]

Yeah, like designer. Designer wallpaper.

[Amy]

Wallpaper and, like, plates. Yeah. I don't call it china, though. But, yeah, like, dishes. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I didn't know any of those.

[Amy]

I break so many of those. No chance. Next up, over the span of 20 months, Elton John spent $418,000 on flowers. During a lawsuit with his former manager, he said, I just like flowers. What?

[Eddie]

I mean, but, yeah, to him, like, what is that?

[Amy]

It's still half a million dollars, but on flowers, it goes away. Flowers die.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby]

Quickly.

[Eddie]

It's crazy.

[Amy]

You want the top five? Yes. Okay, let me do that. For the song. Number five on the crazy celebrity purchases. Tyrese, the singer and actor, bought his daughter an island when she was 8 years old. Wow. He didn't reveal the price, but he bought her an island at 8. Dang.

[Eddie]

Like, as an investment for her.

[Amy]

I don't know. To buy her an island.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

I'm sure he didn't let her go and just live on it.

[Eddie]

No, no, no. But it's like, hey, she'll have this. And when she's older, she can do what she wants.

[Amy]

Kendall Jenner spent $52,000 on a couch on her old blog. She said the knotted blue and purple sofa was all woven and really groovy. $52,000.

[Bobby]

They do make some nice couches, man. Like, have you seen the ones with speakers on it right by your ears?

[Amy]

I like the one with little ice.

[Bobby]

Chest where you flip open the table.

[Amy]

I think our nice is different than her nice, though.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I think ours is like, dude, nice. Number three, Jennifer Aniston said she wanted to get into cycling, so her friend Courteney Cox sent her a $12,000 Chanel bicycle.

[Eddie]

Chanel makes a bicycle number two.

[Amy]

At an album release party in Miami. Jay Z dropped $250,000 on champagne. I don't know how to say this. Armand D. Brignon. He did leave a $50,000 tip.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my goodness.

[Bobby]

What a party.

[Amy]

Jay Z and Beyonce reportedly bought Blue Ivy, a Barbie for her first birthday with 160 diamonds. The Barbie cost $80,000.

[Bobby]

Okay, that's a waste.

[Eddie]

I don't get it.

[Amy]

And at number one, Mike Tyson spent $2.2 million on a bizarre gift for former wife. And he purchased this 24 karat gold bathtub which he bought for his ex wife. The bathtub was thought to have been located in one of the many mansions he owned before he filed for bankruptcy. A bathtub? Those toilets we were talking about earlier, that's nothing compared to those $2.2 million.

[Bobby]

Gosh.

[Eddie]

Oh my gosh.

[Amy]

Are you looking at it?

[Eddie]

Yeah. It doesn't even look like copper. Yeah, it's just like baby copper.

[Amy]

Want to say it's gold? Gold. Prove I'm lying.

[Eddie]

Oh, copper is expensive too.

[Amy]

Ain't expensive like gold? I bet you go over less than $2.2 million.

[Eddie]

I know, but that's just. That's something, you know. They steal copper off your house sometimes.

[Bobby]

He had a tiger too, right?

[Amy]

For a while.

[Bobby]

Oh, man.

[Amy]

A bonus when Lady Gaga paid $50,000 for a ghost detector. This one isn't the most expensive one, but I thought one I would bring up.

[Eddie]

Oh, it's not actually even tangible.

[Amy]

Says you. The detector. He says you. Well, I mean, she's afraid of evil spirits and has her hotel room scanned for paranormal activity.

[Bobby]

Did you ever find anything?

[Amy]

Can you just say, I don't know, tbd, the Buzzfeed with all that information. Good story though, man. What's the craziest one of all of those? What's the one when I go, you just heard 10 of them, do you go, oh, that's the stupidest one.

[Eddie]

A 2.2 million dollar bathtub and the Barbie.

[Amy]

But I feel like the bathtub is the stupidest. This is what I say about the bathtub. You could probably melt that down, sell it back for that same price. Some of the stuff though, Yango goes up in value. Some of the stuff, you. It dies immediately. The value dies immediately. Half a million dollars. Flowers.

[Lunchbox]

Flowers.

[Amy]

That's gone immediately. Dang. Yeah, the bathtub. At least you can sell back for maybe even more.

[Bobby]

Okay. Flowers.

[Eddie]

I stand by the bathtub.

[Lunchbox]

I know the Barbie because the diamonds are going to fall off and you're going to lose them. Like when the kids playing with It. They play rough and they. The diamond fall.

[Amy]

Play with that doll. It's probably one of those.

[Eddie]

And you can probably repurpose that. Think of how many necklaces and earrings and whatnot you can make out of that Barbie.

[Amy]

Yeah, I want the bathtub.

[Eddie]

No, because I'm going to sell it.

[Amy]

Gold goes up in value. I'm going to sell it. Later. We'll do wife gripes. What would your wife gripe about publicly if they were to come on the show? What would they say is the, like, one of the difficult things about you? Lunch. Why don't you go first?

[Lunchbox]

My messiness. I would say, like, I'll go get, like, a chipotle bowl, and I'll take that little foam top. There's whatever. And leave it on the counter and never throw it away. Like, I'll throw the bowl away because I eat it. But the top, I just leave it on the counter. I leave my cup there, my shirt there. I just leave these things everywhere. I don't like to clean up.

[Amy]

What about dirty clothes? What do you do with them?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, they go in the bathtub.

[Amy]

Oh, I forgot about throws them in the bathtub.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but didn't she join in on that?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, she has joined into that.

[Amy]

She can't beat them. Join them, though, right? Because I don't think she ever wanted to throw dirty clothes in the bathtub. Like, he does. What? I forgot about the dirty clothes in the bathtub. That's so bizarre.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. So that she can't really complain. Like, in our room, I don't have dirty clothes anywhere because I just throw them in the bathtub.

[Amy]

But why not the hamper? Is it because the bathroom.

[Lunchbox]

I don't have a hamper.

[Amy]

Okay, well, why not get one for $12 at Target?

[Lunchbox]

Well, because I'm not 12.

[Amy]

What? A hamper? Well, I have a hamper.

[Bobby]

Sure. I do, too.

[Amy]

And it has a split thing. Mine and Caitlyn's on each side.

[Bobby]

Oh, that's cute. Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah. So that's not a child thing. I think a child thing is throwing your dirty clothes in the bathtub. But that's you. Now we're doing wife gripes because we came on at husband gripes and I got some DMS going. That's not fair. Like, what do you guys do? That sucks. Eddie.

[Bobby]

Yeah. I don't. Listen, she'll say like, oh, my gosh, I've told you that five times. Or she'll be like, you know that you have to take the kids to school today, right? Like, oh, yeah. Is that today? I've told you that 10 times. That's her big gripe. And also, too, before I go to bed, I take all my clothes off and leave it right by the bed. And they kind of stay there. So the whole week. And she'll purposely not pick any up. So by the whole week, I have a bunch of clothes right by my bed.

[Amy]

Have you thought about the bathtub?

[Bobby]

No, no, I don't have a bathtub. I just have a shower.

[Amy]

In your whole house? Yeah.

[Bobby]

I don't have. My kids have one.

[Amy]

Take them up there, put them in the bathtub.

[Lunchbox]

Wait, wait. So you have a hamper, but you don't use it, so.

[Bobby]

No, I do. Like, for, like, if I get home from work and I take my clothes off, put in the hamper. But right before I go to bed, I leave it right by the bed.

[Amy]

But the point is, he's not walking it to where a hamper could be and throwing it in the bathtub.

[Lunchbox]

That's true.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so yours is not. Why do you think that is? Why don't you?

[Bobby]

Listen, I just forget things. I have bad memory, dude. I don't know what it is.

[Amy]

I think we all claim to have a bad memory, but when it's important, it's a priority. We don't really have a bad memory.

[Eddie]

You have to put systems in play. Like, that's part of just adulting. I relate to you, Eddie, but I've had to make sure have checks and balances. So I have to, like, make lists and take care of, like, every day.

[Bobby]

When I get home, I'm like, what do we have today?

[Ray]

Do I.

[Bobby]

We have practice. Like, what do I need to do today?

[Amy]

And another one being, keep a calendar.

[Bobby]

Yeah, that too.

[Eddie]

Cause, like, you know, multiple times of, like, not remembering to pick your kid up from school.

[Bobby]

That's what she says, too. She's like, it's in the calendar.

[Amy]

Raymunda, what'd your wife complain about for you?

[Ray]

For me, it's not tidiness or cleanliness. I'm up on that. It's the stuff where her dad's really handy. He built our dang house. And I don't really know how to do a lot of that stuff, so she's hard on me for that other stuff. I eat loud.

[Amy]

You eat loud?

[Ray]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Apparently.

[Ray]

She'll be in the other room and she'll be like, I can hear you chewing that. What is that? Oh, I don't know. Cornflakes. They're loud. I'm sorry. You want me to swallow them? So it's that and then it's also when I'm on my phone, when I'm on Instagram, I don't want to hear it on volume one or two. I want it full blast. I'm into my phone. I want to experience it.

[Amy]

And she'll be like, turn it down.

[Ray]

From the other room. And she hates my phone.

[Amy]

That's a good one. I think my biggest. If you were to ask my wife. And she'd have a list like all of our. We're just scratching the surface, right, boys?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I got more. Now you guys talk. I got other ones.

[Amy]

So we're scratching the surface here. But I think my number one from her wife gripe would be if we're watching a show, we're watching a new, like, series. For example, I'll say we from. We watch from. Great. I like to, as it goes, guess everything that's gonna happen. Like, have a hundred theories on what's happening with the show. Just so when it ends, I get it right. So I'll guess I'll be like, oh, I bet this person's a dude. It's gonna be a. And it may not be right, but I'll have, like 17 of them just.

[Eddie]

Say I'm out loud.

[Amy]

Yeah. By the third episode, just so I can claim that I knew what happened at the end whenever it was them. Or I'll, like, call the killer. And that's from. Is not that kind of show. But I'll be like, jonathan's a killer. And she's like, okay, but you just guess a minute ago. The dentist and then before. So I'm trying to cover. I'm trying to cover all the basics.

[Eddie]

So you cut. You turn TV watching into a competition.

[Amy]

Well, we both try to figure out, like, we both.

[Eddie]

Yeah. So why isn't she screaming it out?

[Amy]

Because she's not petty like I am, and I want it I Every option.

[Bobby]

Or does she play fair? Pick one and stick with it.

[Amy]

Mostly that. And sometimes she'll be like, oh, I want to hop off this one and hop over to this one. But by this point, I've got every single character that's walked on the screen. I've claimed them just so you can be right. And I figured out every single. And then when it ends in a way that I picked. I told you, she said that was fourth out of 19 and that annoys her, so. But I do not eat frosted Flakes. Loud, Ray.

[Ray]

Yeah, that. And then there's also. I mean, it's basically any cereal. What I mean, there's really not a silent cereal, so just skip that meal. I guess.

[Amy]

Maybe it's just your ears. Because think about this. You like your Instagram jammed up really loud and you like your cereal loud.

[Bobby]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

Don't you like your TV loud?

[Ray]

That's just how I always ate growing up. So I didn't know you were supposed to, like, keep your mouth closed. That's maybe more a manner thing.

[Amy]

Are you Tarzan?

[Ray]

Well, when I'm by myself, why does it matter if I close my mouth while I eat?

[Amy]

You're not by yourself anymore again, are you Tarzan?

[Lunchbox]

This is another room. But your Instagram thing, that is annoying. My wife does that and it drives me nuts.

[Amy]

Mine mostly. I keep it on mute unless I'm in bed and accidentally hit it. And not that it's loud. She's like, why do you have the boy? She'll be asleep and I'm just scrolling. It's fine.

[Eddie]

So you're not even listening to anything. You're just watching. Like, how do you know what's going on?

[Amy]

Why do I care what they have to say? I just watch. And now they put subtitles on everything.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Amy]

Yeah. Sometimes they hit a little speaker, so it's like.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're reading a book.

[Amy]

Yeah, not really.

[Eddie]

Doesn't count.

[Amy]

No, it doesn't count. It's time for the good news with Lunchbox. Tell me something good.

[Lunchbox]

Ari is 12 years old and she likes to make money by babysitting. She likes to take care of kids. And her aunt was like, hey, if you learn the Heimlich maneuver, I bet you you'll be more marketable. You'll make more money. So the McKinney Fire Department was putting on a class, so she went, learned how to do the Heimlich maneuver. She gets home three hours later, she's like telling her eight year old sister, let's go walk the dogs. Yeah, let's have a piece of candy first. And her 8 year old sister starts choking on the piece of candy. And the 12 year old dislodges the candy. She learned it three hours ago.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Lunchbox]

That is incredible.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's pretty cool. I think if I were 12 and I learned it, I'd be hoping somebody would choke so I could use my skills.

[Eddie]

She think that's why she's like, here, have this candy.

[Amy]

Only take a couple sucks and then just swallow. No, we don't really think that. But if I were 12 and I learned it, I'd be like, oh, I can't wait to use this Great story. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Ray. Play that voicemail.

[Jessna]

I'm 14. My favorite show right now is Outer Banks. My mom is kind of iffy on letting me watch it. She may let me watch it every once in a while or something, but I really just want to binge it. So I was wondering if y'all think it's okay to let 14 year olds watch that show or if anyone of y'all, any of y'all watched it. Ooh, nailed it.

[Amy]

A couple things. First of all, congratulations on your voice being 14 and strong and that voice. A deep voice. Yeah. Secondly, Amy, 14 Outer Banks.

[Eddie]

I think I would be okay with it based on my kids. So that's really what it is. Parents have to know each child is so different. And I did just look up commonsensemedia.org, which is something I use a lot as a parent when it comes to movies and TV shows. And it says 15 and up is what they say.

[Amy]

And the kid's got a deep voice, so I'm for it. Right?

[Bobby]

Yeah, why not?

[Eddie]

He may be a more mature 14 year old.

[Amy]

Just say, this is not real life, kid. And if you do this, you're grounded. Yeah. Play your mom.

[Eddie]

That's okay. Also, it's like it gives you an opportunity as a parent to have tough conversations about stuff they're saying.

[Bobby]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, that was tough, though, right? Outer Banks? No.

[Eddie]

But if something.

[Amy]

Yeah. All right, give me the number three, Ray. I have a morning corny for Amy. Why do chickens only make one sound? It's because they can't think outside the bowl.

[Eddie]

Wow. Okay. See, I can't tell you.

[Amy]

That ain't good.

[Eddie]

It wasn't terrible.

[Amy]

That ain't good.

[Eddie]

But I think I know how. How y'all feel now.

[Bobby]

Is it outside the box?

[Amy]

Doesn't matter. Let's go to Amy now, see if she can beat that. If we play a bad one. Her seems so much better. All right, go ahead.

[Ray]

The morning Corny.

[Eddie]

What do you call Santa when he takes a break?

[Amy]

What's that?

[Eddie]

Santa Paws.

[Bobby]

Oh, boy.

[Eddie]

Santa Paws.

[Amy]

Paus.

[Eddie]

No pause.

[Amy]

I don't know. Let's go back to the chicken, guys.

[Bobby]

I get the chicken, though.

[Ray]

That was the morning cor.

[Bobby]

It's got to go for books.

[Amy]

And that is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. That is the end of the first half of the podcast. The end of the first half of the podcast. You can go to podcast too. Or you can wait the podcast to come out.
