By the way, I was reading, I am always fascinated with if people are telling you the truth or lying. Like by looking at visual cues where they look away or like I, here's the story that came out today.

If you look at people when they're talking to you, if they swallow a lot while they're talking, they're trying to loosen up the throat muscles are probably lying. Whoa. Now it's not, nothing's in everything, every time thing. But that's one of the things you look at. What was that show we all liked on TV and that's what that guy did? He could tell right away. Do you remember? Pinocchio. Making a murder?

Stop, stop. Is that what it's called? Pinocchio? No. No, that's his nose. It was so good. But that guy could come in and like tell right away. I don't remember it was, but I used to watch that.

I saw this one pop up a few places. Ariel and Dolce were about to have a beach wedding in Mississippi. Huge thunderstorm rolls in. And obviously, if you're having a beach wedding, a thunderstorm's not your buddy. Yeah, it could happen. So the stranger had been watching the preparations from her home across the street. She's there by running because it's raining. They're covering themselves up.

She's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. They set up chairs. They went in her house. They had the ceremony in her house. That's amazing. Yeah. It's nice of her. Right?

Yeah. What a special memory, too. She tried to mop a lot after it was over. All the wet feet, you know? But I thought that was a good one there. Over to Ray Mundo with the news. The Bobby Bones Show. Big Three Stories.

on the cheek. You all hug? Yeah, we hug. Absolutely. Well, hey, congratulations. Double in there. Thank you. I'm always curious to know the conversations, Amy, you have with your kids. And you guys got in the old debate of pancakes versus waffles? Yeah. How'd that go? They went, pancakes and I couldn't believe it because they've had both pancakes and waffles and I just thought everybody chooses waffles over pancakes Okay around the room you go

Waffle? I go hardcore waffle Really? Oh you know it? Flapjack Yeah pancakes all the way Wow Lunchbox? Waffles Yeah Why? It's a no brainer

Morgan, you're 24 what do you think about that? I go waffle Wow, 80% waffle It's the older generation thicker Yeah like the holes The syrup gets caught and the butter in the, and then you take a bite. Pancake, it just rolls off.

Yeah. Mike D, quiet Mike, punk rock Mike. I go pancakes. There we go, Mike D. It's what I'm talking about. Wow. Okay. I'm going to waffle a little bit, but I'm going to say waffles. Okay.

Oh, boy. Okay, so we're a waffle group for the most part. That's funny, Ray. Yeah. Okay, waffle for the win. And they, but they like. They chose pancakes. I was like, okay, clearly we need to get you another waffle because you're confused.

How are they doing? They're doing good. Yeah. Yeah. They're great. they got their shots I told you the other day they're still wobbling around complaining about that do they ever ask about the orphanage

and like hey do we ever go back or is that just as the longer they're away from the orphanage the more it really isn't a thing no we still talk about the orphanage do they miss their friends yeah do they talk about friends specifically yeah yeah but it's it's it's

it isn't as much but we still talk about it because we will take them back and I don't want them to forget about it and I don't want them to forget their friends so I mean just one of those things that's going to be a part of their life. I'm not trying to take that away from them. Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.

I just wonder. Yeah. I know, yeah. Well, you think you'll take it back in 2019 to the orphanage? We know we at least want to wait a year, so that would fall in line with the timeline, but it just really depends if they're ready. Emotionally, they can handle it,

what it's going to be like. I just don't want to confuse them. I haven't seen them in a couple weeks. You guys been bouncing back and forth. Yeah, we should. What? Yeah, we should skit. Look at the old calendar.

Let me take a look at the calendar here. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. I saw this one this morning. Rachel LaPierre won $1,000 a week. Lottery. Wow.

Like every week she went $1,000. I'm jealous. Right? And so she's not kept a single check for herself. She's giving it to charity every week. She says this humanitarian organization, which she funds with a lottery winnings, aims to promote good deeds.

So every time she gets a check, she gives it. Wow. What? You want a thousand bucks a week. She got that mailbox money. Go ahead and lunchbox. I mean, I don't understand. Why even play the lottery then if you're not going to enjoy the reward?

Maybe it does bring her joy to give it away. What if the reward is actually helping other people? Right. But you've got to help yourself too. You can retire on that money. What if she feels like she's in a good place? Yeah. She can be in a better place.

Give one a month and take the other three for yourself. That's pretty nice. You know, and I'll pass that along to her. But anyway. Rachel LaPierre, $1,000 a week, and she donates it to help other people. I think that's pretty fantastic. Bobby Bone Show.

Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes us from Youngstown, Ohio. Miss Butler was going around town, breaking into car, stealing things when she hit the jackpot, found a purse with a wallet, ID in it. She was like,

oh, yeah, it has a checkbook. Started writing checks to herself. Went into the bank to cash them. Only a problem was the person's purse was, it was their bank, and they were inside. Huh. Well, yeah, that's a bonehead. Here's the thing that I find most interesting about this story is that Lunchbox paid her the respect to call her Miss Butler, the thief.

Yeah, I couldn't pronounce her first name. Smart. Miss Butler. But, yeah, she goes, so what happens? So the woman chased her down and tackled her to police a lot. Wow, wow, wow. Yeah, the woman whose purse was stolen chased her out of the bank. Wow, that's risky.

Yeah. She had a knife. I mean, Miss Butler's known around town. Oh, man. Miss Butler. Trouble. Not to be confused with my second grade teacher, Ms. Butler. Don't worry.

Nobody was. Okay. We didn't. I'm much, Boggs. That's your bonehead story of the day. Show. Ice cream costs $1,500. It's the most expensive ice cream in America.

Wow. The Bear extraordinaire. It can be found in a hotel in Manhattan, New York. It's the country's most expensive Sunday, $1,500 bucks vanilla ice cream using imported vanilla beans from Madagascar. They could just make that up, right? Yeah, of course. go buy some folders and be like, oh, we got this from the Great Swamp. No, no, no, Madagascar vanilla is a thing.

Okay. Would you know the difference? Yeah. Hey, come on. Just tell me. The ice cream's covered in white chocolate shell. It's hand-painted with colored cocoa butter. Mm-hmm.

It sits top three grams of black truffle crumble, which, by the way, an ounce of black truffle costs 95 bucks. Dang. That's mushrooms or something, or fungus? Kind of, it's fungus. I watched a whole special on it on a TV once and how there's, like, illegal. It's just like fake truffle. Yeah. It's a crazy thing.

Black market truffle. gold and silver leafing. But yeah, $1,500 bucks. Who pays for this? And do they laugh when someone comes in an order to show off?

Like, hey, Frank. He got out here just ordered $15 a Sunday. He fell for it. Yeah. Get the Madagascar. He winks. Get the Madagascar trouble.

They're laughing. Yeah. Straight from Madagascar. Yum. This is. Madagascar the Brooks. This is what? What?

I was like the Bronx, too far. Too far. Too far. Yeah. A Instagram model Was attacked by a shark when she was doing photos That's awful

Yeah she was vacationing in some islands with her boyfriend Her family said hey we should go swim with these nurse sharks Oh yeah And so after a few minutes she got in the water Sharks posing with the nurse sharks And someone said hey go ahead and just lay back And float in the water Was it taking the Instagram picture?

That looked pretty Right? Right Yeah This five foot long shark Bitter he had my wrist in his mouth and I could fill his teeth sinking into my arm

I was pulled underwater for a few seconds and then ripped my wrist out of the shark's mouth the photograph shore covering her wound and raising her arm in an effort to stop the blood spreading in the water they gave antibiotics, flew her back to Florida like listen that's kind of cooler than anything you were going to do though

like if you end up being fine you got to tag by a shark and you have Instagram photos and you have a story to tell for the rest of your life think about your likes you're going to get yeah for that one right there and your Instagram model status

just went up that's true too yeah you know yesterday we're talking people complaining about will and Uber if we should keep it. Hey, Matt, how are you, bud? I'm doing great. How about yourself, Bobby? Good. Brought up that will at Uber. Someone complained they didn't like it. What do you think about that? Misery loves company, man. Don't, don't buy into it. I personally love it. The one on Tuesday with the engagement ring, the guy said Miguel and it was Frank. I mean, come on, dude.

How do you not like that? So you like it when we order an Uber car and try to send crazy things in it to other places? Absolutely love it because we've thought about it here. Like, we've cooked dinner and we're going to Uber this plate down the street to our friends just to see if it makes it. I mean, do it, dude. That's what we do. That's awesome. That's funny. That's awesome, man. Where are you living in Alabama, Matt?

I live near Montgomery, about an hour and a half away from Montgomery. Man, you ever look and you ever go, it's midnight Montgomery and think about that? Absolutely, man. Starts in Alabama, you know? Hey, I appreciate that call, Matt. Thank you for, thanks for that. They're saying that sleep divorce may be healthier to the relationship. And we've talked about something similar where just because tradition says you

should sleep in the same bed doesn't mean it's actually physically healthier for you. So they're calling it sleep divorce when you have to go, you know, honey, I don't think we should sleep in the same bed anymore. Eish. Maybe an uncomfortable conversation just because of the way we were brought up. But just because we were brought up a certain way doesn't mean it's the right way. So I'll go on. Sleeping apart from your partner is good for your body. physically you sleep more, you rest better, you perform better at work. It's better for your relationship. Snoring, partners moving, body heat.

Researchers found the people who slept alone oftentimes get 45 minutes a night more sleep, which is a pretty significant number. And most relationships reported higher level of happiness once they got past the thought of, oh, we're not doing it like everybody before us. You got to remember really, just because people have done it before us, That doesn't mean it's the right thing. It doesn't. Correct.

We get into a thing where it's all about tradition. Listen, tradition for the sake of tradition isn't good. Tradition for a reason that actually brings something to the table. That's good. Yeah. There's a lot of bad history out there. So, and you call us, if you and your husband or wife decided, man, we still love each other the same amount. Same percentage, maybe even more.

But we're going to sleep in two different beds or two different rooms. call. The phone number is 8777.77 Bobby. Amy, your thoughts. I mean, I think you have to do, yeah, what works for you. I don't think it's going to work for every couple, but I would miss sharing a bed with my husband. So how would your husband feel, though, if you said, hey, we're going to split this up. Oh, I'm so easy to sleep with. Okay. I mean, I'm not, I mean, I'm kick and move around a lot, but I mean, that's probably a little. Yeah. And then also my question would be, Do they mean like you find different rooms or you do like old school with twin beds in the same room?

I think it really means because of all the factors they lay out here, the body heat, the partner moving to the night, the snoring, that it's probably in that same bed where you can hit each other. I mean, it can be either. But I think it's really just a physical part of it, meaning you're not elbowing each other and keeping them awake. Eddie? I know.

Could you imagine if y'all came to my house and my husband and I got two twin beds? Yeah, I could. Brady Bunch style? Yes. That's what they did. right? It's what, they were the first couple to stay in the same bed. Oh, okay, opposite that. Yeah, I think the Munsters did it first, first. They were the real big one. Yeah. What do you think? I'm with you. I think it's a guy thing. I think guys would want it more than the woman because my wife would love to sleep in the same bed every night. Dude, if you offered that to me, I'm in. Give me another room, give me another bed, I'll sleep comfortable. It'd be great.

You don't want to cuddle? No, no cuddling while I'm sleeping. No. Yeah, I think that's pretty common. that guys want to have their space and their bit were bigger. We need more, generally speaking. Yeah. But, you know, someone like Amy likes to have that. But also, I mean, your husband has gone a lot. You know, maybe you value that time because when he's actually there.

So maybe we have that. You're right. We already are doing this study and we don't even know it. And you're so much happier when he's not there and you come in. You ever notice that? I stopped. I slept so good last night. You know, I think this is too, here's the thing I want to say, and that I can get off my part of this.

I think with this, though, it has to be like a dog in the bed, meaning you have to establish that early. If you get a new dog and you put the dog in the bed, it stays in the bed forever. Right. That's it. And it's tough to have that conversation. I try with my dog, like, no more bed for you. So in this relationship, I think you kind of have to go, we're in the same bed or we're not. As soon as you start dating.

As soon as you start, whatever, sleep in the same bed, it's like, hey, we're really going to commit to this. Here's how I feel about it. You should sleep in a different bed. Yeah. Because that divorce, ooh. You can't do that 12 years in. That's tough. That's like my dog.

My dog was like 10. I was like, all right, Dusty. For now on, you're going to sleep on the floor. He's like, uh-uh. No, no chance of that having. Sleep. Sleep divorce. Let me talk to Anna in Missouri.

Hey, Anna. Hey. What do you think about this? My husband and I actually just, I started sleeping in another bedroom because my dog was sleeping with us. And he was sleeping. on me, and I was just having a hard time sleeping, so we ended up both having a hard time sleeping, and it just kind of, I don't know, it worked out.

I've been in the other room for almost a month now, maybe, and we're all sleeping better. I think people hear this and go, if we're sleeping in different rooms or beds, the relationship must be worse. Don't associate those two. Like, nothing's worse, but you decide to sleep in different places. Also, don't they say that the heart grows fonder,

if you're not together? Yeah, it's usually a long distance. Yeah, well, yeah, it's a longer distance than normal. Yeah, hey, Anna, thank you for your call. That's good. I appreciate you. Laurie in Florida, you're on. Hey, Bobby.

My husband and I sleep in separate beds every now and then, well, it's becoming more and more because I have restless legs really bad, and I kick him all the time. Do you love him the same, though? No. I'm sorry? Do you love him the same? Oh, my gosh, yes. Even more. I hear even more right there. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. At first it was hard because I felt like I was doing something wrong, but it got to the point where I didn't want him in the bed because I liked having all that room. Yeah. Again, it's like having your own bathroom. Amy, wouldn't that be awesome to have your own bathroom? Like, really? Oh, yeah. Like, if it could be like if you're in my bedroom, you go to the right and it's his bathroom and you go to the left and it's my bathroom, that'd be so cool. I mean, what if history told us we had to poop in the same toilet all the time? And then people were like, oh, if we're not doing this? that, then we must be hate each other. Yeah, divorce.

Dude, toilet divorce. Yeah. All right, hey, thank you. Hey, you guys can still hop on the phones. I love to talk to you about this. It's the interesting thing to me. Especially because I'm not sleeping in bed with anybody. Yeah.

And right now I'm like, oh, yeah. Get up, get sleep divorced. But really, I'd be like, come here, baby. Let's sleep beside you. Don't leave me, please. Don't let me please. Over to Morgan number two, who's been doing the skinny all this week. Bobby Boneshan.

Here we go. The latest from Nashville. drill in Hollywood. Amy's 30 Second Skinny. Kenny Chesney released a new song saying it captures the emotion behind the events that took place in the islands after Hurricane Irma and Maria. It's called Better Boat. Out and then I let it go. Ride the waves I can't control.

I'm learning how to build a better boat. It's a good one there. Yeah, really good. Casey Musgraves dropped the video for her single High Horse, and it basically shows her working as a desk cop. A desk cop. What's a desk cop? Like she's on the desk for PlayStation. Oh, a desk? Okay. I thought it was like you

police other bad desks. I don't know. It's what that's called. I like this song. I like this album. It was really good. That came out yesterday? Yeah? Yeah, like last night. What else? So there's movies coming out this weekend. Skyscraper featuring The Rock. That's terrible. Did you see the preview?

It's terrible. I don't know. what I saw it, whatever it was, like garbage. I like The Rock a lot, and I like action movies, but sometimes they just mail it in. Oh, yeah. I think this year he's probably made like five films in one year. Yeah, that's mailing it in, for sure. Do you know how rotten tomatoes that is?

Yeah, 51% positive. Pretty good for an action movie, though, I'll be honest with you. About a building. Does he play a skyscraper? No, I think he, like, he knows it really well or something. What else? Hotel Transylvania 3, Summer Vacation. Yeah, it should be a good one, huh?

Yeah. And then they're Sorry to Bother You, which has 96 positive on Rodgers. Sorry to bother you. So it's about this guy who can't find a job, and then he becomes a telemarketer and discovers, like, this huge, magical key to success. Raymond was a telemarketer. Absolutely. Yeah, you sold cable, right? Yeah, it was cable phone and internet.

So how would that work? I go, hello? Raymond O'Reem-Moo-speaking. Thank you for calling blank communications. How may I help you? Well, I was wondering if I could get it upgrade on my package here. Absolutely. Let me go ahead and pull you up.

What's your zip code? 3333, 3333. I see your account's in outstanding order right now. I'm going to go ahead and add two HBO specials. You're going to have those for two months. But then in two months, definitely call us back. We're going to charge you a lot in two months. That's the truth.

Did you like that? That's how you sneaked in. I loved it. It was sales and it was also talking, and you could be like personal. It was great. Oh, look at that. All right. All right, Morgan number two, thank you.

Thank you. Now close it out. That's Amy's 30 Second Skitty. Bobby Jones. Thank you. No. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Tell me something good. Peyton and Brian are six-year-old twin brothers. They were down in Orlando on vacation. They're at the hotel swimming pool when this mom and her little toddler come to the pool. Well, the mom goes to put the towels on the chair and the toddler jumps in the deep end, not knowing how to swim. He's struggling to stay afloat. the six-year-old twins jump into the pool

and save the toddler. Wow. Six-year-old lifeguards. Amazing. That's cool. What's the deal with the toddler? Listen, I don't have a toddler. And Eddie says they shoot off like crazy.

They just run. Run. And they mined their own so they can do whatever they want. If you're at a pool, like, do you hear this and go, oh, mom, you got to like, no. Yeah.

Or do you go, that's just the nature of the toddler? I mean, you have to keep your eyes on your toddler at all times. And especially by a pool, yeah, she shouldn't have turned around on them. What about leashes on kids? No, I'm serious. I know you go, but when I hear stories like this, I go, okay, so what?

So what's wrong with a leash? No, eyes are as good as leashes. Like, just keep your eyes on them and they won't go anywhere. Like, a leash is too much. They're not a dog. I don't know. Too much. Sometimes I want to leash you guys.

Sometimes at the airport, I get it. Like, I don't have to leash my kids, but I see other kids on leashes. And I'm like, you know, maybe they know that they have one that will go rogue every now and then. And they just, it's better safe than sorry. I was a big hater on leashes for a while. I mean, I Instagrammed a kid on a leash with a mom. Oh, that's right. I didn't put the kid's face on Instagram, but I was like, look at this.

This mom's got her kid on a leash. Mom follows me on Instagram. Had a little word with me. Oh, what did she say? Don't be doing that. Don't be putting my leashed kid on Instagram. Kind of awkward conversation there. I was like, I was like, well, huh?

Didn't do that again. No, I did not do that again. But I'm, I don't, I'm not for leashes, but I could see in situations like this where there are dangerous things around that maybe you leave some around pools and fires. I don't know about it. Okay, I'll think about it. Okay, there it is. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Better than I thought of me. That was the morning corny. She still drinking from that well over there. What? That joke. So much has happened today. For example, we're talking about sleep divorce, which, you know, don't let the divorce get you. It's really just splitting up and not sleeping in the same bed anymore because you actually sleep better.

They say 45 minutes extra. That's the average couple when they sleep in different beds. I mean, really, you basically get an hour of sleep extra. That's a lot. Like, sleep is the most important thing, more so than eating right or exercising and sleep. So I'm an advocate of trying it out, sleeping in different beds. You're also not married. That's true, but I'm an advocate.

You know what I mean? Hey, Carmen in Nashville, you're on. Hello. Good morning. Thank you for calling nonsense. What do you think about this? That's not nonsense. I did think it at first.

I do think it's a woman thing, but my husband and I've been married. 30 years and we just in the past year started sleeping separately because he's so hot. It's just, I can't stand it. Can't keep your hands off of me so hot? Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that too. But it's like a heater and I'm like, oh my gosh, I can't stand it. And he's one of those that will throw his arm over you and then he'll throw his leg over you.

I'm like, dude, I cannot sleep like this. And so would you say the relationship is actually better now? I feel, yeah, we're not arguing as much Because he would wake me up Every time he'd throw his arm over me Because, dang, I mean, it's like he raised it up And then just dropped it on me Yeah, like Hulk Hogan

He'd like tap his elbow and they'd go down with the elbow drop Yeah Body slammed at night, yeah So, yeah Well, thank you for the call I think as long as you can lose that thought of Well, this is how it's supposed to be That's not

Somebody just said you sleep in the same bed And then away it went But yeah, somebody tried out Let us know you've never done it in this sleep. I've slept in a different bed, but that's usually in trouble. Yeah. So I associated it with trouble.

Yeah. Oh, no fun. What if you went to your wife and just said, hey, I think we should sleep in different beds? She'd hate it. I'm telling you, she'd be 100% against it. Polls of the week. These have come. We've asked these all week on.

We've had some complaints about Will at Uber. Shall we keep doing the segment? 70% of people said, keep the segment. Yeah. And we listen to the people, right? We're a people show. Yeah, we are. We're only as good as our teammates.

Should Ramundo, our audio producer who sits in the glass room, chase his dreams and leave this show for Big Brother? Because they've contacted him again, right, Raymondo? Yeah. 65% of people say, oh, no. Your thoughts, Raymundo. Yeah, that's crap. If you get stuff in life, you just got to go sometimes.

Are you leaning toward leaving the show for Big Brother? Still weighing it, talking to a bayser. Yeah, talking to your girl? While lunchboxes away after his baby is born, who should take over the bonehead? Ramundo or Eddie, that's the question. 70% of people said, Raymundo. And then finally, how do you feel about grass clippings? 70% say, clean them up.

Of course. That's nature, you know? Yeah, man, it's grass. It's grass. Yeah, it's already on the ground anyway. Put it back in nature, the street. Yeah. Put it back.

Yeah, anything you'd like to say, Amy, about that. I mean, now that you bring the grass clippings back up, I mean, I thought about that a lot after we did it. Like, I had no idea of something that came from the ground and then put back into the ground could be bad. Well, listen, I have a problem when people throwing bananas. If you see a car in front of you throw a banana on the road, do you go, ooh, they're littering? Like, if they're driving, they throw a banana out, what you think? Do you go, ooh, littering? No.

It's okay. Applecore, banana. I feel the same way, but when I do it, I feel like I'm going to get pulled over. Like, they're going to confuse it for like a big Laffy Taffy rapper or something. Big yellow rapper. Yeah. Amy, I do, like, what's up? Litter commercials, that's bad.

I do litter commercials. Yes, I do. Yes, you do. I'm the face of littering. Yeah, yeah, I'm not littering. I'm on like billboards. You are. I saw you this morning.

Did you see me this morning? I did see you this morning. What I say? What I say. Guy said littering is no. joke, no bones about it or something like that. No bones about it. Yeah, and it's you staying there.

Unless it's a banana. That's right. Well, see, that's why I feel like I'm going to throw it out. I feel like I'm going to throw it out. Woo! And the coffee come and be like, sir, aren't you? You're the face. You get two tickets.

You should be leading by example. You know what's funny about that billboard? Is you're standing right there like in nature and like this country road? I'm like, did bones really go to a country road? No, it's a studio. Oh, that's what I thought. Yeah, because they wanted to put different things behind it. I'm like, no chance.

Unless that was shot right outside of his house, no chance. No chance. It was me, Cassidy Pope. Cassidy Pope. Saw that one too. Yeah. And then a football player for the Titans. And so we were the faces of not littering. What did you say exactly?

No, litter's bad, no bones about it. That's it. Yeah, a little pun there. No bone, get it? No bones because you're Bobby bones. Thank you very much. Hey, Amy, I got something for you. When you hear this, what do you think?

Hawaii. Okay, okay. Yes. I want to run something by you next. Are we going there? What do you say yes? I don't know. I just, that's the first of all.

That's the first of all. You're going to run something by me and you're going to be like, hey, what do you think about taking the show on the road? Yes, yes, yes. And doing it live from Maui. We'll talk about it next. Held on in a minute. A golden crowd's vents weren't working. And so people there were like, man, this stinks.

Much like the air conditioner in my house, which by the way, still isn't running early. Oh, my. I know. I've been working hard. And so the workers at the Golden Corral in North Carolina, they're all like, oh, it's hot. Why don't they work? Call the AC guy.

Turns out, the burglar was stuck in the vents. Oh, caught him. Yeah. And he couldn't get out. And that's also what was making the air not work. So the fire department rescued him, and they arrested him for breaking and entering. Isn't that funny?

I'm like, hey, something's not working. Just a man holding us down. No, it was a burglar up there. Yeah, he was holding this down. Got stuck. I saw the Emmy Awards. There's a lot of awards, but on the drama series, and I feel like the Emmy Awards aren't too cool for us.

When they announced these Oscars, I never even heard a half of these films. Much less seen them. But the Emmy Awards are TV shows. Game of Thrones. Seen it, saw it, love it. Handmaid's Tale. Love it.

Stranger Things. Good. The Americans. This Is Us and West World. I oddly have seen all those shows. Wow. Yeah. I guess because of Netflix now and all those, right, it's not just these network shows.

For the first time ever, Netflix has more Emmy nominations than HBO. Yeah. So I love Game of Thrones. I know you guys give me a hard time, but Amy's brother was talking about Game of Thrones to her, right? Oh, he couldn't believe it. When we were talking about TV shows, he said, well, I mean, of course you've watched Game of Thrones. I said, no, no, I never have. I tried to watch one episode, couldn't get into it.

And he went off for, I don't even know how long how I'm missing out on life. and then so then I told him he needs to watch Handmaid's tale and he's like actually it is on my list because I mean I think that shows amazing Yeah that's the only thing Hulu really has Is Handmaid's Tale That's it yeah or network shows if you missed it Yeah but network has those shows

Yeah that's not theirs Yeah that's what I'm saying Amy's always like yeah but you can watch Scooby-Doo I'm like I watch Scooby-Doo on anything I get on YouTube but watch Scooby-Doo Hulu original Scooby-Doo So but yeah that's the Emmy Game of Thrones has to win

Handmaid's Tale probably close You know, I didn't think Stranger Things The second season was as good as the first season. I didn't even finish it. Yeah. Maybe I didn't either not think about. That's how bad it was. I don't know that it's bad. I just didn't want to finish it, I guess, is what I'm saying. So there's that Emmy nominations.

Oh, I play this music here. Oh, yes. We're not going to Hawaii. Why not? I don't even like doing shows out of the studio, right? But what I'm thinking about doing is having a Liberty Louisle in my house. Okay. It's not the same.

No, of course it's not. I'm not paying for you doing a wine. Should I do a Labor Day party aim on like that Sunday, not the Monday? Mm-hmm. Like a, yeah. And have people show up in Hawaiian shirt. Grass skirts. No, I don't care about it.

I mean, you wear a grass skirt if you want. But like a, you're not going to make that mandatory. No. Will people come to a Labor Day luau? I think so. Yes. Yes. That might be my big.

Is you going to roast a pig? We should with an apple in its mouth. Eddie's the head chef. So. Okay. But I can commit to this. You need me to get a whole figure. I listen, you're the head chef.

I can commit to this now because that's September if you guys will come. Yeah. Yeah. Well, let's check the calendar, yes. I'm in. It's the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. I never know what that is. Like September 7th.

And then because after like third. What, Am? Sunday, it's September 2nd. That Sunday is, but that's, yeah. So that's right around my husband's birthday time. So could we also make it slash? Absolutely. Slash Amy tells a birthday party.

Okay, I may do that. Let's put that on the calendar, everybody. That's Sunday, because I'm telling you this fall and next year, you guys don't even know what I have coming up. Parties? No, like life stuff. Oh, no, we don't know. You don't even know. You don't even know.

Let me just say stuff's a brewing. Really? Oh, yeah. Big stuff? Big stuff. The biggest stuff, yeah. Bigger than you've done. Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. This is amazing. Yeah, I'll leave it there. You want to have your mind blown? Drew Carey doesn't need to wear his glasses. What a problem? Yeah. He got us.

Drew Carey no longer needs to wear his glasses to see. He had LASIC in 2001, but he wears his glasses because it's part of his image. 2001? 17 years ago. He said when he goes without them, nobody recognizes him because he's skinny too. Yeah. But here's the thing, maybe people don't recognize fat Drew Carey as much anymore because back in our day, fat Drew Carey was the guy. They've been skinny for a long time now.

Right? Yeah. But anyway, he says one time he went out to a bar in Cleveland, and he said, hey, I'm the host of Price is right. And the guy said, no, I thought Drew Carey host of Price is right. Dang. He didn't have a glasses on. One time, I went to a work event because all the work people came to town. And they had this big seminar, country music seminar.

And I didn't have my glasses on. And I went to one of my bosses that I talked to 25 times a year and see in person 10 times a year. I was like, hey, man. He goes, hi, how are you? And it's me, Bobby. He goes, Bobby Hugh. and it's like, I just, all I, I just don't have my glasses on. That's crazy.

I finally got how Clark Kent wasn't recognized as Superman. Yeah, I always wondered, oh, come on, glasses. Yeah, the glasses, no ass on your chest. Wear a suit and no one recognizes there? Yeah, finally got it. But there's Drew Carey. He doesn't need to wear his glasses. Okay, Labor Day Luwout, Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

It's on my calendar. Mark that down. A pig now. You got plenty of time. You don't have to. Oh, that's how you do a luau. That's what a luau is. I have to invite some people that got irritated.

that didn't get invited to my last party. Oh, no, that's a lot of people. Well, not everybody. Okay. Like John Party called and was like, he said, hey, we're buying back to the party. And I was like, my bad.

Always invite John Party to the party. I know. I know. I know. So John, first, yes. Lesson learned. Lesson learned, for sure. My big history guy.

I'm a big country music historian. I did a documentary yesterday by Charlie Pride. How was that? It was great. It was with PBS. Wow, it's cool. Yeah. And so I'm a big Charlie Pride fan.

And so I went and talked about it for a while. And so for me, like when we do on this day in country music, that's one of my favorite segments. The Bobby Bones Show. On this day in country music. On this day in 2017, our producer Eddie ate an entire box of donuts on a bet. That's right. And then got sick. That's right.

I did. That's terrible. I remember that day. I don't know why that bet happened, but Eddie goes, I need a dozen donuts. No problem. Yeah, you guys said I couldn't. I was like, easy I can do it. It wasn't that easy, but I did it.

You did it, and you felt bad for... Oh, two days. That was On this day in Country Music One year ago today I regret that Yeah

And he's still feeling it Yeah So in the studio today We're all here Amy is in Austin So she's sitting in our studio In Texas Her dad's been sick

And so Amy just give us a quick recap If someone's listening For one of the first times Like what happened with your dad Well he was diagnosed With throat cancer Had to have surgery

To remove the cancer over two weeks ago. And it was, hey, no big deal. In and out of the hospital, three to five days max. So there was some complications. And he has been in ICU for 16 days. Amy and I had a talk, and she was like, it's really not going to be a big deal.

I mean, really, you guys didn't think it was going to be anything, right? Yeah, we kind of, at this point, so two weeks post-surgery were supposed to start radiation. So we should be starting radiation right now. but we're a while from that. Like that now stuff just keeps happening. And there's a point the other day. It's so crazy to think we were at the hospital yesterday and we're like,

unbelievable that on Sunday, you know, he kind of had a crazy experience where he coded and went into cardiac arrest. All of this totally unexpected. We all just look at each other thinking, how is this happening? Why? This is not what we expected at all. But he is so strong and tough. And the nurses tell us that.

Like, they can tell he has a will to fight. A fighter. Even in his state of not really being totally there, they can tell he's a fighter. And we're just trying to power through and get over a few humps. Yesterday, he had a tracheotomy surgery. So a trache was put in his throat, which is so crazy to see. I've only seen that, like, on TV. I know.

And like the emergency ones, they take a pin and have to do it quickly. Like, I can do it, though. I think I've seen it on TV enough times. It's one of those things like CPR where you go, I can probably do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's so many things I see going on. I'm thinking, I can do that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen it so many times on TV. Really? Yeah. Let me say, I don't, are you comfortable with me sharing the story about the flowers that were sent up there? Yes, because, yeah, totally. Okay, so this has been a situation, and Amy and I've had a lot of off the year talks from.

I'm like, Amy, don't come to work. Like, this, We do what we do because we all are in a good place when we get here. None of this show, if you're new to the show, I'm the only one that's a radio guy. And everybody else is my friend over life that's coming to the show. And if anybody else in a bad spot, I'm like, don't come to the show. I've said, Amy, don't work. Go away.

Go take care of it. She's like, no, I want to come to work. It's a couple hours that she would just be sitting in a hotel room or, excuse me, a hospital room. And she likes to come and hang out with us. We're her friends. I think you want to be around your friends at a difficult time, right? I mean, that's part of it. And so, but here's the thing about us, is that the us thing isn't just this room.

It's the listeners of the show. It's a club. Like, we're all in the same club. The listeners, the people in this room. And so Amy mentions her nurse's name, right? Just her first name, too, right? Yeah. I said that my dad, at some point I must have mentioned my dad's at Seton Northwest Hospital in the ICU unit.

All the nurses are amazing, but I gave Jen a shout out. She's a nurse that's just really kind of been amazing for us. Yeah. Then guess what happened? So, yeah. So do you want me to say it or are you going to say it? No, you could say it. You can tell it.

Okay. So I show up to the hospital yesterday and Jen comes up to me and thanks me for the flowers. And, you know, it's awkward because I didn't send her flowers. Oh, no. And now she knows. I didn't really know how to handle it because I thought, okay, so first I kind of check with my siblings like, hey, do we send Jen flowers? Or, and like, y'all didn't fill me in. So then she shows me the card and it said, Jen, thank you for Amy, love the world.

And so, I mean, I guess by the world, it just means like everybody out there. I don't know. They didn't say like Bobby Bone Show listeners, but I can put two and two together. And that was one of our listeners straight up, Pimp and Joy, and heard the hospital name, ICU and Jen. Because I didn't have any other details other than just her first name. and them thanking her on behalf of me for me. And so I couldn't believe it. I was just like so thoughtful and just shows, you know,

it's another reason why our listeners are so amazing. It's because they hear we're going through something and they know we're appreciative of someone and they go out of their way to send that person flowers from us. What? Tractor down. Isn't that crazy? That's like, we call our listeners of the B team.

Well, you know, none of us really pick first. We're never part of the A team so much. We're kind of the secondary, but we're happy with that. We're proud of that. And we stick out for each other. And so, you know, that's really cool. That's really cool. Did you cry?

I didn't cry. But it touched me and moved me and was super thoughtful, and it made Jen's day. Did you think about taking credit for the flowers and just moving along? You're welcome, Jen. All right, next up. I mean, when she thanked me for it, I was like, okay, what do I do? What do I do? This is awkward.

Listen, that's, if you're new to the show, that's really the, kind of environment we try to foster around here. We are, we're all one big old team, man. And when I say us, I don't just mean us in the room. I mean us. You're listening. You're part of the club, man. And the mystery person that sent those, thank you to whoever you are, because they didn't leave any of that info. It was the world.

The world. Yep. So, by the way, the Friday morning dance party in 15 minutes, Steve Mokler, who I think you're going to love coming up in about 30-ish, he's going to play live. That being said, this weekend, Amy, you're staying in Texas with your dad. Yes. Are your kids with you? No, we're trying to figure out if the husband and kids are going to come

because it looks like I'll probably be here through next week working from here and trying to juggle. My sister has been here over like three weeks, and she lives in Colorado now. She's got to go back and handle some stuff. And so we're all just looking at calendars trying to juggle. And it looks like next week might be my week. But I wanted to be here yesterday, ASAP,

because of the tracheotomy surgery. Well, everybody's praying for you. Everybody. Thank you. Yeah. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

7-Eleven has a partnership with the Philadelphia Police Department, and they ticket kids for good behavior. So the officers have these tickets, which are basically coupons from 7-Eleven, and the kids can go get treats from 7-Eleven. But they get pulled over for wearing helmets and recycling their trash. Oh, that's cool. It's called Operation. and chill and it's just gets the officers out and about and interacting with kids for doing good things. And also sets the tone of officers are good kids. Like cops are good. Yeah. Let's build the culture of they're not just here to give you tickets or get you in trouble. They're also here

to look out for you helping. I like that too. Not even for the free stuff. The tickets are given. But you know, like you've talked about your son before, whenever the cops would come up and give them a sticker. Yeah. It's all about a relationship. And now my son's like knows like the office officers are great and he can trust them. Yeah, I love it. In fact, if the officer goes by and doesn't wave, my son questions if they're real police officer. That's right.

That was Tell Me Something Good. The Friday morning conversation with Steve Mocler. I'm a big Steve Mokler fan. He came over to the house. We hit a bobby cast, but I never heard him actually play in here. So Steve Mokler's coming down the hallway right now. This would be interesting because he wrote Riser for Dirk Spentling. Yeah.

Well, that made him a little bit of money, huh? I'm asking that. Be like, how much money did you? make off that. So Steve Mokler is coming into the studio. I'm also curious about these shows. They drive around in a camper all over the country and they set up a palette and put Christmas lights up and they play shows

for their fans. It's camper tour and it's amazing. It's camper tour? Yeah, well, and he can talk about it. There it is. Hey, there he is. Come on in here. We're on the radio right here. Yeah. Come on in everybody. Look at you. We're just talking about you. We were talking about, first of all, the camper tour. Yeah, man.

Where you drive around. Let me get this straight, Steve Mokler. If you're just listening right now, Steve Mokler, in. You drive around in a camper and then you pull out like a pallet and you stand on it and you put Christmas lights up around you. That's it. And you play for fans. That's it. There's two pallets to be fair from Kroger. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, I need two. It's a big deal. Man, think of the overhead there. But how do you pick where you're going across the country? So we put a word out online and we just kind of say, hey, we're going to be taking offers and submissions for the next few weeks. And then once we get them all in, they're all

sitting there on a spreadsheet and we just, we route out where we want to go. And we just, we take the best offers and we also fill in between. So it's really an equal playing field for anybody. You can pay for that? Just a little bit. So they pay you to come to their house? Uh-huh. Will you do like a barbecue? Yeah. Let me ask you a question. Here's what I've been thinking about him. I've been thinking about having a Labor Day party at my house. Yeah. How much I get Steve for? Oh, you need to book him for the camber tour. Just make sure it's on his route. Like if he hasn't pulled out of National yet. Get the camper. I think we could swing it. I live. It's on the the way to everywhere. Yes, it is. I think that would be so fun, especially if we brought the palettes and

Let me hear some of this. Here's Steve Mokler, maybe you've heard Born Ready. I'm a fan. Thanks, man. I'm a fan. Thanks, man. I'm genuinely a fan of what you do. It's called Hard Not to Love It. You like this one? I do. You moved to town to write songs, huh? Yeah. Like, that was the deal. Like, you want to be a songwriter?

Wanted to be a songwriter. And I wanted to perform. But really, I've always seen myself as a songwriter first. I started playing guitar when I was 14 and as I learned a chord on the guitar I was writing a song that had that chord in it I didn't really realize until you know looking back on it that was pretty unique it's been a kind of awkward situation for me a bit here with this because Amy is great friends with your wife would you say she's one of your best friends here yeah she would say the same yeah and so it's like when do I bring Steve in I don't want there to be this sort of I'm only bringing it I think it's actually hurt you a bit that Amy's been friends with your wife yeah you think so I think

it feels like it's helped you think it's held your career back many of I'll be a millionaire at this point. I don't try to say anything because I want it to be organic too. I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding. Well, it feels right today. Thank you so much for having me here. I just liked the record and Steve came over to the house and we talked.

I think we were best friends after that. Did you feel that way? I felt a connection for sure. You know, Steve wrote Riser and then Dirkson ended up cutting it and making it a big hit. I bet you made some money off that, huh? Is that where you got that second palette from? That's where I got the second palette. Actually, we did buy a camper from some of the money that came from.

that song and we ended up I'm selling it to Travis Meadows who I co-wrote the song It's kind of a full circle moment That camper that Travis has out in front of his house Is the camper that you That was one we did our first hometowns tour in five years ago 72 Winnebago

Still in the neighborhood It's a 72 Winnebago Yeah it's got a hole in the floor Like my boots fell out of the bottom of it Yeah But now it's an air stream Like a cute little... Yeah so we're upgrading to an airstream this year

That's kind of been our dream from the beginning Was to get into one of those things They're so cool He had a bigger dream. Well, you know, three palettes. That's one of them. Three pallets in an air stream. Did you know he cut this name?

This song? What? The riser. Riser? Yeah. I've never heard him sing it. No. Summer Rise.

Listen to that. He's got a guitar. You want him to play some of it? Yes. Okay. Steve Mokler is here. Would you mind playing like a verse and a chorus of riser? I would love to me.

So if you're listening to this, check out Steve's latest. Do you have a whole record out now? Yeah, it's called Born Ready. It's just dropped a few weeks ago. Born ready. You got it, man. I actually sing it better than you. So if anyone wants my version, let me know.

We can do a Bobby Bones edit and get you on there, man. Oh, here we go. This is that riser. Hey, guys, so because of licensing rules, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can go to BobbyBones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision.

But I just wanted to keep you up, and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now. And thank you for listen to the show. and sorry about all the legal stuff. Mr. Bobby Bones. That, Steve Mokler, wrote that song. So you have it, and you cut this song.

But then when Dirk says, hey, I like to cut it, you go, oh, man, I can't do it anymore. Well, actually, I mean, I was thrilled when Dirk's won to cut the song. Travis and I were both blown away. It was an easy decision. Big fans of what he does. And, you know, at that point, you know, I think I had about 8,000 followers on Instagram,

so it wasn't going to reach as many people as if he's saying it. So it's been a really cool, really cool thing. Do you ever do that thing that I do where I set up fake Instagram accounts of myself and ask people for money? I've never done that. That is so frustrating. Yeah, yeah. Like Mr. with one extra, our Bobby bones. I'm like, hey, can I get a dollar or some iTunes cards?

I do that. It's awesome. Man, it's hard to make money in the business, man. Whatever you can do it? I'm kidding. I don't. But do you have fake accounts of you asking people for money? That has begun in the last few months.

It's so frustrating. Well, that's how you know you did it. It's encouraging to know that that that actually holds some value to pretend to be me. But it's really frustrating that people are getting taken advantage of like that. You know you're on the come-up when your identity gets stolen. Congratulations, my friend. Thank you very much. Good to be here.

That's true, too. Okay, listen, Steve Mokler is here. Got the record out. Got the song Born Ready. I'm going to tell you, so I listen to your record. And I think we're in this culture now of, and I say this in the best way. I think music now has become a bit more disposable because when we subscribe to a service,

we get it all the time. Back 10 years ago, we had to buy something so we spent a lot of time because our investment in that 10 bucks was in that piece of hard CD that we bought so we burnt it out. Now our investment is if we pay for a streaming service

and we get all this stuff so things move. So for me to stay on something just in my world means I really have, I like it. And so my point is I really like your record. It still is in my mix of things that I still listen to

and it's in a musical land to where we just go, let me see what's next. I'll take the song that I listen to all the time. This one right here. This crazy does song? Oh, man, thanks. It is so good, man. Thank you.

This is Gracie's favorite. She's fought for the song for a long time. Big fan of Gracie. Gracie's his wife, by the way. That's what crazy does. Yeah, you like this song or no? I love that song. What if you did that now?

I love it. No, absolutely love it. It's one of the most fun songs to play live. It's got a great energy, too. and I love it. It's called Crazy Duss. You have your guitar. Would you play that one?

I'd love to, man. All right, let me reset this up, everybody. Everybody listening right now, this is a guy that I think is really one of the more underrated guys around town. Just putting out the good songs time after time. Steve Mocler is his name. It's got a record out now called Born Ready. But this song right here is the one that makes him a heart tickle.

It does. Thanks, man. Steve Mokler doing Crazy Duss. Come on. Steve Mokler in studio. That's my favorite song on that. Thanks, man. at that.

You like that one or no? I love it. Okay, just making sure. I'm going to record it if I didn't love it. Oh, yeah, good, because I do. I like that. I feel like you're singing to me. Steve Mocler.

Pittsburgh guy? That's right. I grew up in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, just south of Pittsburgh. All of our listeners in Pittsburgh. Yeah, man. They're calling about you all day. When Steve Mokler coming on? I was like, relax.

I love the people, the 4-1-2, man. They got my back. You're a penguin fan? I am. I'm a bigger Steelers fan, but I was a kid, I was a huge Penguins fan. I wanted to be a hockey player and would draw the emblem and chalk on the driveway like every day

and play street hockey with my neighbors and stuff. So I grew up on it for sure. How big old boy are you? 30 years old. No. How big old boy are you? How big? You got to make me say my weight on the air? No, no, Gracie. This is one of the... Okay, so again, if you're just tuning in, I'm friends with his wife,

Gracie, and we work out together a lot. And one of the biggest complaints, she's like, oh, Steve, like, we don't even know if we could fit in Steve's jeans is the topic of conversation. I'm a small frame man. But he eats like whatever he wants. All kinds of pizza, beer, pasta.

Those are my favorites. She's like every day and it's so annoying because she's like, you know, we just can't, us girls, we can't eat that way. But Steve can anywhere. I'm into the frame, so I'm trying to get to. Yeah, no, you look good. That's not a thing. Yeah, yeah.

I often ask dudes uncomfortably how big an old boy are you. It's a tribute to just all the prank calls. But what are you? Five, ten? I'm six foot. Oh, that's on me. Six foot and 150 pounds. Oh, wow.

So you're as tall as I'm... Bobby's like goals. Like, that's what I'm trying to do. Because I was at 6 foot 152, I had to drop somebody for Idol. And they made fun of me so much. Well, because you got to 147. No, no, I did not. Now you're making up lies.

Was that your goal? No, stop lying. And then Amy started wearing my shirts to be funny. Yeah. And so she was like, let me wear your shirts. So I'm with you, dude. Man, you look great. That makes me feel better.

That's how I look. I'm happy with that. I don't think either of us could. play for the penguins, but we could be a music industry for sure. What are the same? Me and Steve Mowler are the same over here. You have a big announcement Monday? That's right. We're going to be announcing our hometowns and campgrounds tour.

You're going to do that now. Go ahead. Okay, so. Oh, no, now that's on Monday. I'd never make you do that. Which one of the stops may be Bobby's house. It may be. The seed has been planted. No, here's the thing.

If you want to come over to the house, because I may be having a Labor Day party at the house, you come just to come. Okay. But Steve was... You got room for the airstream back there? No, no, no, no. Just you and your wife. But, Amy, Steve played at your kids when they came?

Yeah, well, I mean, yes. We all had to... Everyone had guitar. Like, Walker Hayes was there, and Eric Pasley and Steve. And so they all had guitars, and they all... Oh, and my friend Django. I played the Miley Cyrus... Party in USA.

It was a hit with the kids. I love that song. You still know what? I don't. I had to look it up. I had to look it up, and it was a pretty rusty, performance, but we got there. Everybody's still calling about that performance.

Still talking about it. That's awesome. Yeah, they're like at Amy's Kids Homecoming. Steve Mochler is here. Which my kids love Steve. They call him Stephen. I love them too. We saw them the other night, and Stevenson saw the airstream, and he was like, I want to ride in that. I was like, well, you can't ride in it while it's moving. It's like, it's kind of dangerous. It flaps around.

No, you can't. You have to attach to the truck, and it goes back and forth like crazy. I used to ride in ours all the time. Did you really? I don't think you're supposed to. Oh, well, okay, so what? Did it get pretty wild in there? Like pots of pains flowing?

I live wild. Oh, yeah. Talk about it. That's like the crazy thing I've done in my life. It's writing in a moving camper shell. Camper, a camper. Okay, listen, Steve Mocler, we could be here all day. Let me encourage everyone to check out Steve's record, Born Ready.

That song Born Ready. I like Crazy Does my song. That's what Crazy Tho. Maybe you know suitcase from back in the day. I'm big fan of yours. Thank you, Bobby. I like that one. I love that one.

Glad you came back. I got great hair. Thank you. He has, oh, great hair. I think he said gray. There's a couple in there. There's a couple grays in there. Ask him how big old boy is.

He goes, I'm 30. I mean, is that an incorrect answer? You know, I guess. It was not. What's your favorite color, banana? No, it's not the same. Big old boy are you? He must be talking age.

A big old boy, okay. All right, Steve Mokler, good to see you. By the way, thanks for having me. Have any handle here. What's your handle? Oh, at Steve Mokler. M-O-A-K-L-R at Steve Mokler. I like you. Thank you very much for coming in.

Thanks so much, man. We'll see you soon. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones Show. The story's sad, but it's also a kind of reminder. I enjoy things, and so I thought I'd share it with you guys. They call him the great Garrett Underpants, the kid from Iowa.

Why did they call him that name? Because he hates wearing pants. Or hated, yeah. Did you say, so he died, right? Yes. So did you see the story, though? It is sweet. Oh, my gosh. It's precious.

Like, it's heartbreaking because, you know, we've lost another child to cancer, but the way his family went about it and his funeral plans and what he wants is so precious. Before he died, he asked for five bounce houses at a memorial service, one for each year of his life, Batman, his favorite superhero to be there, snow cones for everybody that was there, fireworks at sunset, and he wanted to be cremated and made into a tree so he can live in it when he's a gorilla. I know.

Right? Like in a sad as it is sad. Because it is sad, but he wanted snow cones for the people that came to his funeral. Yeah. And they, yeah, they made it, they're calling it, which is what we called my mom's funeral. We were very intentional about calling it a celebration of life. And I feel like that's what they're doing is they don't want people to come and be sad. They want people to come and do what Garrett wanted.

I bet you it's a very special moment when those fireworks are going off. Yeah. It's actually tomorrow is that celebration of life. So, yeah, shout out to the great Gareth. Jared underpants. I also don't like wearing underpants or pants. No pants. You'd be like no pants.

Yes, yes, there it is. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Okay, so you know how sometimes you like today is whatever, whatever day? Well, FYI, it's Friday the 13th, but that doesn't really bother me, and that's not the main thing. But it's National French Friday. So I want everybody to share their favorite French fry because I'm definitely getting some. There's a Chick-fil-A right by the hospital, and I've been not. having it because I try to eat, you know, a little bit cleaner, not fried foods.

But this is giving me my excuse to finally go get waffle fries. Well, I'll start with this. I love McDonald's fries the most, the best. But I think these days, because I do, I'm the same as Amy. It'll be a national ice cream day. And I go, well, it is national ice cream day. I should have ice cream. Yeah.

Then the next day is national pie day. And I'm like, well, you know, it is national pie day. And so all of a sudden I got all these days when I'm just eating garbage. Yeah. We can't do this. I know, but this one I like because that Chick-fil-A's been calling my name. I like ice cream and pie too. I go McDonald's.

Amy goes Chick-fil-A. Lunchbox? McDonald's. Eddie? Burger King. Amy, do you have the list? Did you see the list? Oh, I don't. Is there one? Yeah, there is. So what they had is a French fry list?

Okay. Because everybody has a favorite French fry. Yeah. And so they put out this list here of the top 10 French fries ranked by Americans. Arby's at five. Oh, the Curlies do rock. Oh, they're really good. Oh, they're really good.

Yeah, Wendy's at four. Yeah, Wendy's pretty good. Listen, French fries are just pretty good. I mean, period. It's hard to make a bad french fry. I wouldn't have put Wendy's that high on the french fry. I think their meat is really good. Oh, yeah, their burgers are good.

I love me some meat. Five guys at number three. Oh, good stuff. I don't know if I had five guys. Yeah, it's good. Burger King at two. That's it. I'm talking about crispy.

Wow. I don't think I've ever had a Burger King French fry. Well, it's National Friday. Have all you want, Ann. Yes. I'm probably going to have to find a Burger King because, you know, I've got to celebrate. And McDonald's is number one. Wow.

Anyone else you got over there. Okay. Well, if you want to have a happier day, try not to look at social media first thing in the morning, particularly anything negative. Like so many people these days are waking up and checking social media before they even get coffee. And then they're inundated with this negativity, and it's just put you off to a bad foot, similar to turning on negative news. Stay away from that.

Just turn on the Bobby Bone Show because we keep it positive. There you go. Well, most time. We keep it. We keep a real. Yeah. But you're not really, we're doing it. You're not plugging us.

I mean, they're actually listening. This is it. Yeah. Yeah. All right, what else, Sam? Did you see what Bill DeBare did yesterday? Mm-hmm. Okay, so Bill DeBair, they did a promotion, and they wanted to get people to come show up.

So they offered a special sale where kids could get a bear for the price of their age. Oh, it's pandemonium, by the way. Panemone. Yeah, if you're four years old, you could show up with your parents and get a bear for $4. Today? Which is crazy town. Dang it. I don't think.

There were 1,500 people lined up in New York City. I totally would have been one of them. Yeah. Like, by 11.30 a.m., which isn't even. And you haven't even hit lunch yet. They had to end the promotion due to mass chaos and safety concerns for people because they were running out of inventory and parents and kids were getting all worked up. Yeah, I mean, come on, $4 bear.

By the way, at Walmart, all the stuff bears are just sitting there. Nobody even wanted one. It's terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, and there you go. That is it? Yeah, that's my bio. There you go.
