Summary
We start talking about the average number of days that Americans get a good night sleep that Bobby would kill for. Bobby also talked about a clip that went viral from the BobbyCast about a celeb eating their placenta. Then, Husband-and-wife duo MacKenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge better known together as Thelma & James stop by. Bobby talks to them about music, marriage, and how they make it all work. They share the story behind the duo’s name, how they first met through songwriting, and what it’s like creating music together after 12 years as a couple. MacKenzie talks about balancing her music career with acting on the hit TV franchise 9-1-1:Nashville including the intense 15–16 hour filming days and how she landed the role of a doctor on the show. Bobby competes against Amy and Eddie in another round of Name the Celebrity on your head! Can you figure it out before they do?

| 0:24.2 | point. It's like, oh, we're learning how to sleep, but the world is falling apart. Yeah, because |

| 1:14.9 | That's great. |
| 1:16.3 | I just ordered an eye mask to put over my eyes at night because I realized some lights |
