The Bobby Bones Show got a voicemail from a listener named Brody Horner, who shared that he and his wife had just gotten married in Mexico. They set up something called “After the Tone,” a phone number where people can call and leave voicemails for the couple. He said it would mean a lot, especially to his wife, if they received messages, and he shared the number in case anyone wanted to call.
The show noticed that Brody didn’t mention his wife’s name, only referring to them as “the Horners,” which led to the show acknowledging that the last name is a little unfortunate. They then decided to call the number themselves and leave a message. When the voicemail picked up, everyone took turns congratulating the couple. Bobby began by offering advice, focusing on taking marriage one step at a time rather than putting pressure on long-term expectations. He emphasized staying present and acknowledged that disagreements are a normal part of marriage. Amy shared a perspective she’s used before, explaining that marriage isn’t always 50/50. She described how each partner can show up with different levels of energy on any given day, and how communication helps couples support each other through those fluctuations.
Eddie followed by congratulating the couple and encouraging them to enjoy the early stages of marriage while also recognizing that it can become challenging. He stressed the importance of communication and staying united as partners. Bobby added that therapy has played a significant role in improving communication in his own marriage. Lunchbox ended on a lighter note, encouraging the couple to keep the fun and flirting alive in their relationship. He reminded them not to let marriage become routine or boring.
