Listeners of The Bobby Bones Show lit up the voicemail line this week with everything from beauty questions to behind-the-scenes curiosities about the show. One caller brought up an old “rejected segment” that Amy once tried to talk about: the time she went eleven full days without washing her hair. At the time, Bobby shut it down as boring, but this listener insisted that every woman would absolutely want the details.
Amy admitted she used to push her wash days as long as possible and even had to “train” her hair to get there, but things have changed. Thanks to newer hair-care advice circulating online, she’s learned that letting your hair get too dirty can actually harm your scalp. While the old trend encouraged going as long as humanly possible, the pendulum has now swung back toward balance. Amy says she’s settled into washing her hair every three to four days because that seems to keep things healthiest. As for how she survived those original eleven days? She laughed and said it took a whole lot of dry shampoo and according to the studio, she practically had dreads by the end of it.
Another listener called simply to say how much Bobby’s laugh brightens her mornings. She said it makes her whole day better, and the compliment genuinely made Bobby smile. He joked that he wishes more things were funny to him so he could laugh more often, but when something does hit him, the room agrees it comes out sounding a little like a hyena.
A different voicemail came from someone curious about whether members of the show try to run errands early in the day to avoid being recognized. The team had a quick answer for that: absolutely not. They made it clear they’re not famous in any real sense, especially not in Nashville where actual celebrities walk around without much fuss. Bobby recalled that the only time he got recognized more than usual was when he accidentally dressed like a giant Arkansas billboard complete with a hoodie, shorts, and bright red shoes, making it pretty obvious who he was. Lunchbox said he goes out any time of day, and Amy agreed she doesn’t adjust her schedule at all. The only slightly strange moments happen when people pull out their phones to secretly record Bobby and his wife at dinner, something she had to get used to after they got married. Eddie added that his kids always ask who people are when they stop him to chat, and he has to explain that he actually has no idea, they’re listeners of the show.
The final voicemail of the day brought what the caller called “constructive feedback.” She believes the show’s AI voice definitely sounds like a male personality with a feminine tone, and she had a heartfelt request for Amy: during the Investigative Morning Corny, when the guys get the joke right, please just move on instead of cheering because it slows everything down. Amy agreed she needs to work on that, and the rest of the show confirmed they’ve been telling her the same thing for a while.
At the end of the segment, Bobby reminded everyone that the voicemail line is always open. Whether it’s a question, a compliment, or some tough love, they’re happy to hear it anytime at 877-77-BOBBY.
