Hey, so here we are Thursday after the show. Amy and I are in Austin now, which yesterday just Amy was. Everybody else is in Nashville, and we just finished it up. Long night for me last night, I did a book signing for a bunch of hours in Austin. It was pretty awesome. And today, too, I got to announce that my book was number one New York Times bestseller, which is cool. And I don't know how to bring it up. And I felt like a total douche afterward.

You're going to hear why. Because I'm like, hey, got a book. Look at me. I'm kind of cool. Thank you. And I was like, Amy, what did you do? And that makes me feel bad because my intention was not to make you feel dushy. Oh, I felt like a douche.

Because Amy's dad struggling with cancer and cancer surgery. And then I was like, oh, but you'll hear it. And I go, oh, I have the wrong priorities in my life. Okay, no. You have the right priorities in your life, especially for you. And you're sharing something that we all are excited to be a part of. I mean, hello. I'm in the book, too.

That's true. Did you get your cut? Huh? Did you get your cut? What? Yeah. For making New York Times bestselling? Yeah.

You're now considered the New York Times bestselling author. Comes by email or all? Whoa. Is that true? Amy's a New York Times bestseller author? Yeah, I would like for you to now refer to me as... No, Eddie, no. Okay, I was wondering, because Mike D would be too, right?

Yeah. That's right, Mike. We should celebrate. You guys are part of it, though, for sure. Yeah, so don't, yeah, don't feel, like, that's exciting. You share it. And our listeners, hello, like, they're the ones supporting and reading and buying it. And if it wasn't bought, it wouldn't be the top of New York Times bestseller list.

Well, you'll hear that story, but Amy talks about it a little bit, too. get to hear that coming up. Yeah, and I didn't, I don't know. You just asked what I did, and I was like, okay, I haven't talked about this. I'm just going to say it because I got to just get it out there because it's real. So I got to start thinking like it's real. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

It is real. Are the kids coming here? Are you going back? Well, I don't know. We're going to see how it plays out. Right now they're not supposed to. They're going to Colorado. So they're going to, they're finishing up school the rest of the week.

And on Saturday, they're supposed to fly to Colorado. I'll still be in Austin. but we'll see. They like airplanes? Yeah, they're good. They do good on airplanes. They do good on like packing. They've only taken two trips before.

They came to Austin once and then they went to San Antonio for their second trip. And now Colorado will be their third trip. So now they got it down. Like they pack without us. They're like, I went upstairs the other day. Totally packed for Colorado a week early, basically. I have no idea what's in those bags. But hopefully stuff that they actually need.

Eddie's kids came out. Because we were in Tampa last weekend. I was doing a comedy show. And, you know, he was going to go out. He was out there with a promotion. And so they were like, hey, come down. He was doing a deal with the station. He was going to come to the show because the station had made some winners

and his kids were there. And his four-year-old was excited to see his dad go out and play. But then when he went to play, he was asleep on the side of the stage. Yeah. I don't know if we put him to sleep bones or what. But when I got back, he was out. He was out. Rock star.

You know what, though, when I woke up the next day, because they both passed out in the car on the, the way home. And when I woke up the next day, they both woke me up and said, you guys were so good and that was such a good show, Dad. They thought it was cool? They really did, bones, and they'd never said that to me before. They've seen me once or twice before, but, and they really enjoyed watching you do your thing on stage and Mike, everyone, they just loved the whole thing. Yeah, he walked off. He was out. He was like a lump. Yeah, he was that. We put him to sleep. Yeah. So, okay, here we are. I got to go because I have to go

do I deal with Lauren Petrosky at Fox 7. Oh. Oh, tell her hey. I will. How long are you here? Fugs. I don't know. Yeah.

I mean, right now, Saturday or Sunday, I'm thinking, but it just honestly depends on my dad because he'll, he's ICU for a few days. And once we feel better about that, because it's in his throat, like swallowing is a major concern. Right. Because he can't. And breathe, like he's got a breathing tube and a feeding tube. So, breathing tube in his throat, feeding tube through his.

Well, and I knew it was going on. Yeah. And I knew that's why you were here, and I knew what was going on. But I didn't know. But even I hadn't really talked to you that much about it, because I just was like. You know who talking about it, your husband. That's who it was. Yeah, and he told me that.

And he said he just felt like he needed to give you a heads up. And I'm like, okay, I would have done that. But don't be mad at him. I'm not. I think he just wanted me to know in case that you were a bit sensitive to things, that that's why. Yeah. He was trying to save me frustration. by going, hey, what's wrong?

A hundred percent get it. I just think I was, yeah, again, that denial thing's real. And so I think I'm getting past that part. Like now that we're here and it really is happening and I'm witnessing it, I'm like, okay, got to just be strong and do what I need to do. And so I'll be here as long as I need to be here. But I have a sister who can do that too. And, hey, bonus, my dad has kids from his first marriage. So now we have, I have a half brother and half sister that can help.

That's good. And a girlfriend. You have a girlfriend, too? He does. Oh, life partner. Yeah. So, you'll hear about that. Lunchbox went to the hospital with his wife.

They're, like, for sure, about to have a baby, so they did some big things. Yes. You'll hear about that. We talk about a lot of stuff. I don't know. I'm a little bit of fried from last night and today. And then my saga on the dating apps. Like, I'm done.

But you'll hear about that. That I was definitely. I'm done. I'm supposed to go to this hall and oats and train show, and I don't have anybody to go with. Uh-oh. Okay, well, I mean, so go ahead and remove yourself from any chance of meeting someone. Do you have anyone, do you want to set me up with? What town is in and again?

I forget where you're going to be. Nashville. Okay. Don't act like that's a crazy question. It's not a crazy question because I'm in all the towns. Do I have anyone in Nashville that you could let me think, hmm, maybe? Yeah. Is it like a date or just friend?

Why would I want to go? I have plenty of friends. I don't even hang out with my good friends enough. You know what I mean? I don't have anybody for you to date because I'm friends with everybody already dated. That's true. You got to be friends with them because I dated them. All of them are me.

That's true. A lot of Amy's friends with people that I went out with this. She's like, I'll take them now. And I was like, okay. All right, listen, we got to go. I don't know. Thank you very much. We'll see here.

Doing good? I was good at a book signing last night. And in Austin, so was Amy, and I was signing books for a long time last night. It's pretty cool. It's crazy that people care. Like, to me, that's the craziest thing. That people will take time out of their day and come and say hello to me. I don't know why.

I don't know why. She swallowed the fly. I guess she'll die. You guys not that song? What is that? She swallowed the fly. She swallowed the cat. Just follow the fly.

I don't know why she swallowed the fly. Is that a nursery around? I guess she'll die. Yeah. Then it's like, she swallowed the tiger. Just follow the cat. Just follow the fly. I don't know why.

Did you know, because I wrote in my new book, I wrote a whole thing about being in North Hampton? No, you did? Well, yeah, because I was in the middle of a show last time, and some guys yells, yells, I'm going to shoot you. Oh, right, right, right. That's the show. where we had to shut everything down for a while and the cops came.

Were you there at the last show, Bobby? No, it wasn't. This was going to be my first one. Okay. Well, let's just not yell anything about guns, you know? Yeah, no, I'm not a big fan of all that.

I went number one later that year. Brooks and Dunn. Oh, no. That's a good guess. No. Alvin and the Chipmunks. It did. Not on the country chart.

Oh, yeah. On the cartoon chart. In the kid's chart, yeah. You know how they do the Chipmunks voices? Yeah, they speed it up. No, they don't. They actually record it super slow. So I would talk like this. Don't rock the Jeep.

That's how they record it and they take that and they speed it up. Sounds like a pain in the butt. Yeah, I read the, listen to the podcast, like how I built this. Wow. An album in the Chipmunk. Interesting. July 9th, I'm Jerry Dutty. Just heads up.

I'm going to be here. You can come to work and then go? Yeah, I'll just leave a little bit early. And I'll just play a bunch of songs for the last hour of the show. Do you know what the case is yet? I believe it's a homicide. Oh, are you serious? No, I haven't been in you.

There's no idea. I don't know these things, Amy. Wow, that'd be awesome, dude. I hope not. I don't want to get stuck in having to be there a lot. Who's done Jerry Duty on this show? I've been called, but I just said I had school obligations. because I'm still a student.

But you're not still a student. I haven't graduated. That doesn't mean you're a student. Oh, my goodness. I know a lot of people haven't graduated. They're not students. That's what I told them. Well, I told them that I was gone for a book tour, and they said, great.

Well, now you're coming in July. So I'm going to go and do my deed to the public. Good. A servant of the public. And so I'm going to go. I think I should probably be on the case, too, right? Like a little bit of me is excited about doing this. Yeah.

It's like plain clue. No, it's like plain God. like well I have all yeah but it's not just you it's not 12 angry jurors is that 12 I don't know and then two alternates yeah and I think you would get kicked off the jury because you would Instagram story from the jury box like oh guys this what's going on look at this witness vote do you think you did it yes or no pull on it's a gift of a judge in the gap a while I'm going so yeah I go in July 9th and a little bit he's annoyed but a little of me He's excited to go and do this.

Yeah, that's part of being an American. One day, you're going to... You haven't done this, Eddie. Well, no, but they asked me, I'll totally do it. But, dude, one day you're going to need a jury on your side and it's going to come back. Is that convinced them when I go, I've also been on jury duty? Of course. It's karma.

I'm one of you. Yes, I'm one of you. Please. Yeah, I'll let you know what the case is. Can I let people know what the case is? If you get picked, you may walk in there and they say, ah, you're out. Because before the trial, the two lawyers, they, they, pick people for the, it's crazy how it all works.

There's a whole show on it called The Bowl. Should I wear a mustache? Yes. Yeah, your disguise. Yeah, yeah. I want to go in because I really want to be, I saw a movie where these people had, they tried to get in these cases,

and so they would always try out for jury duty, and they finally got picked, and they were able to shift a case. Oh, weird. You ever see that? No. No. Well, what is it? I don't know.

I'm a study for this. I'm interested. Yeah. Okay, well, there you go. My jury duty July 9th, for those answers. Do I wear a robe too? No, no, it's just a judge. Oh, no, I don't do that.

The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd skinny. So some big stars got together to make a video to send out to fans that's warning them like, hey, don't give money or personal information or buy concert tickets from fake imposter accounts. So like Blake Shelton, Keith Irvin, Merrimorris. That's just to name a few of people that are like, whoa, if there's not a blue checkmark, if it's not verified, don't be giving up your information. Which, Bobby, you have fake accounts.

Yeah, and they ask listeners for money or just how they're doing, but it always sounds like they're foreign. They're like, how your day's going to days. Comma. And it's weird. They're either seven or they're in Portugal. So they're going and they're finding it. And people that follow me on Instagram go, hey, man, Mr. underscore Bobby Bones, X, X, X, X, X, is that you? And I'm like, no.

That's not me. It's got like four followers. Nope. And just know, too, that no one's going to reach out to you. and be like, hey, I'm a big fan, I got a secret account. It doesn't matter how much you love Randy Hauser. Randy Hauser is not reaching out to you just to go, hey, I got a secret account and just talk to my fans.

It's not a thing, but it's become a huge problem. Yeah. Chris Dapleton and his wife welcomed twin boys back in April, and Chris gave an update on how his family's doing. He said, it's like a baby times two, so they sleep a lot less than when they had one baby, but they're doing great. And he added that he's really proud of his two older kids

for being super helpful and sweet to their new baby brothers. So cute. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. They're home with something good. Buffy and Harry went out to dinner.

They come home after the storm and their 15-year-old Corgi is gone. Escape, scared of thunder, ran away, can't find it. Well, this guy, Matt, he runs a dog Twitter. He has over 7 million followers. Happens to find the dog. Post it online. 55,000 retweets, gets the dog back home. Wow. So he has a Twitter, though, that just finds dogs.

It's called We Rate Dogs. So he puts dogs online, and they rate the dogs, and he just happened to be the one that found it. Oh, wow. So it's not even a dog rescue service. He just likes dogs. Yeah. Do you remember that website Hot or Not.com?

Yes. Back in the day, you used to get on it and click Hot or Not. That's kind of a savage. So sad. I didn't get on. What do you mean? Get on. I tried to apply, and you had to be a certain hotness for them to.

You did? Yes. Wait, you got rejected? That's shocking. I don't think that's true. I promise you. Because how would you get the knots? Yes, you need ugly people.

No, you're not right about hot or not.com. That was a website anyone could upload. And it would tell your score. Yeah, you must have been doing something else lunchbox. I think you were trying hot or hot.com. They were like, no, neither. Got them. I didn't get him.

That wasn't a shot. That's funny that. No, stop it. This story comes to us from Louisiana. A 20-year-old woman. called a to go order at a Chinese restaurant went in and said she wanted no bell peppers. Well, the problem is it had bell peppers.

So she started throwing food, sauces all over the restaurant. Wow. Got in her car and rammed her car into the manager's car. How did she know whose car the manager was? She's a regular at the restaurant. Oh.

And then she drove off and she was arrested a couple blocks later. Numerous charges. Hit and run. Definitely. Vandalism. I mean, just think of the smallest of those charges, throwing food. You get so mad ordering your food You don't like it.

You start throwing food. Is there a name for that charge? I feel like that's just nutty. Like there's something going on. Yeah. Some people don't know how to process emotions properly. That's correct. But not all or outward like that.

A lot of mine is super inward and I hold them in. But yes, that would be accurate. Yeah, wow. And then she ran the car. Think of how angry you have to be to take a car and jam it to another car. Yeah, multiple times. Because you're hurting your own car.

Right. I bet it feels good, though. And she was also charged with driving without insurance, so she's going to pay for it herself. Someone who makes those decisions probably makes decisions like I'm not going to get insurance. Like that to me seems pretty consistent. Well, how about that? I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

Hello. Good morning, guys. Good morning. What's happening with you? Nothing just heading to work Well, I'm glad you call What can I do for you? Well, I was calling in because you had talked about That you were doing the vegetarianism for a month And I just wanted to see how that was truly going for you It's okay

You know, I mentioned it a couple times, even yesterday I don't look forward to meals anymore I actually don't feel as strong either I was working out yesterday in a box And my boxing coach trainer friend was like Oh man, I'm kind of dragging a bit I just don't have the energy I'm not going to stay with it

But yeah, I'm going to go back to meat I feel, but not right now Interesting Yeah Yeah And I think, well I'm sorry, go ahead No, no, I just

I don't really feel as, you know Even as manly as I used to Wow I know I need some steak in your life I know Yeah Yeah see I've been a vegetarian

For 16 years So I don't miss meat at all Obviously at this point And I think like It's a life trial that you definitely have to put a lot more time and energy into in order to make sure that your meals are as balanced as you really need it to be.

Because, I mean, you're missing out on a ton of protein, obviously, by taking the meat out of your diet. Yeah, I haven't wanted to fist fight since. I'll be honest with you. It's just been a tough road. I think I'm going to just dabble with fish, you know what I mean? Start with fish? Yeah.

See where that takes it. See what that goes. I guess I'm going to be back to eating red meat. Like two weeks. Who am I kidding? Do you ever have a hard time sleeping, Eddie? Sometimes, yeah. When I'm thinking, stuff's in my head and I'm thinking about stuff.

Like, I have had a hard time sleeping over the past years. I've got to tell you, over the last couple of months, I kind of been rocking. That's awesome. Yeah, I think, one, I really like my house. Like, it feels like a home for the first time ever in my life. Secondly, got my sleep number just right. I got, I just feel comfortable for some reason. But I read these sleep and things you do.

dude if you can't sleep. And here you go. I'm reading this this morning. If you need to fall asleep, don't struggle so hard to sleep. Instead, lay in bed with every intention of staying up, but mean it.

Don't fake it or your body will know. Then when you really sense sleep coming on, just chill and lay down. Don't try to force sleep. Like the worst thing you can do to try to sleep is to force sleep. Wow. Which is so counterintuitive

because you want to think, oh wow, if I need to get to sleep, I want to make every, every, all my environment. Sleep, I'm going to get my cover. I'm going to close my eyes. I'm going to get my, but no, they said just sit up and watch TV. Yeah, like, we wake up early for this job, so you're supposed to go to bed early, but I can't,

I go to bed at 11. Crazy to me. Like, I've tried to go to bed at 7, 8, can't do it. So that goes along with you what you're saying. Like, you just can't make yourself go to sleep. Amy, what you think about that? I mean, I can't sit up and watch TV. No, I need to, I have to, I don't know.

I can't just chill. But, I mean, I guess I need to, because I definitely have not been sleeping. I didn't sleep last night. Yeah, but you have kids now, though, too. like new kids I put them to bed and I mean that's a ritual like you go

you go upstairs you read you pray magically you walk out and the next thing you know they're asleep I'm like how awesome is that to have someone like come

like can I just have someone come read to me pray with me and put me to bed if you ask nice enough I was looking at the story this woman had a lump on her face

and she was going it's kind of moving a little bit I don't know what happens with your skin. Yeah. Do you ever feel like a pimple moves or something a little bit? I mean, maybe I could see how that could happen, yeah. Well, she kept scratching it. It would move a little bit, a little bit, a little bit.

And then she goes to the doctor and they said, yeah, in your face, that's a worm. That's disgusting. I was kind of just picturing, like, you know, it being like a bump that's moving. But it was a worm? The 32-year-old woman. Oh, no. Where did it come from? Why?

She was bitten by mosquitoes in a rural area. she noticed a nodule below her left eye five days later it had moved kind of up 10 days later it had moved down a bit closer to her lip and they got into it as a parasite it's a warm in her face how about that good morning breakfast eaters welcome to the show so yeah i saw that thought i'd share that with you this morning love it lovely you got a chance to listen to the brett eldridge bobby cast i did i was in traffic today and listen to the whole thing so brett eldridge came over to my house and Brett has a ton of hits, you know. Here's the long way from Brett Eldridge. Go ahead.

What did you take from it? Mainly that you kind of just see these stars. And Brett's someone that's come in a lot, but we don't, again, don't know him like that well. But it seems like a fun, confident, you know, sure of himself kind of dude. And he definitely sort of opened me up to being like, you know, I guess all these stars that you see on stage. and even you yourself talking about entertainers and kind of things that you're craving and performance, anxiety and all that. Like, I kind of am looking at a lot of people differently that have come through the door that I think have this certain level of confidence that maybe they're just like a normal person. Here's Brett Eldridge talking about even anxiety a little bit.

I'll get to the point where I was about to go on stage and I would get short of breath. I think I was going to pass out. I have because I would thought, okay, I'm going to fail in front of all these people. I'm going to pass out or something, which we're not going to die from. passing out in front of everybody, and I'm probably not going to pass out, but I was telling myself that, so I was learning that. So I had all these things, and all these things, because you're about to go give all yourself, and you don't want to see yourself fail. So he talked about that. He talked about falling in love a little bit. Here's a clip about

Brett scared to fall in love. I'm almost kind of scared when I actually do fall in love. Like, will my love songs be as good? Because I write from a standpoint of how I picture and how magic it can be, and I know it can be magic. I mean, I know it's a real thing. But how, when I'm writing a love song, I'm describing, you know, what I, what I feel like I would love to have, which is the long way it's, you know, I want to get to know the heart of a person and a more depth way of seeing all the stuff that, you know, somebody might not ask him about. So you can listen to the whole thing. It's an hour long. Yeah, it's good, though. And even at the end, it's so cute when you're like, did we just become best friends? Like y'all, it was, I don't know,

y'all are having a moment. Yeah, I think we just kind of got each other. We're both weird dudes. But I didn't know that about Brett. I knew that about, you know that about, you, but it was interesting to see you be like, oh, wow, and you all to have that in common and made me think probably a lot of people are like that. You know, speaking of love, I deleted all the dating apps on my phone yesterday. You did? Big move. Yeah, I'll tell you about that coming up in a minute, but yeah, I just deleted them. Oh. So the last couple days, we've talked about me getting on these dating apps, and I got on, and I just deleted them yesterday. Okay, but why? It's only been, it's just been. Two days?

Yeah. 48 hours-ish? Yeah. Well, because it was weird to me to match with someone, and I'm not hating on it. Morgan No. 2, don't look at me like that. I'm not hating on it at all. I know that's how Morgan No 2 met her boyfriend, right? Yeah, that's right?

Mike D. met his girlfriend, right? Yep. And so I'm not hating, but here's what would happen. I would match with someone, and they would go, oh, cool, cool. Hey, so what's it like being on the radio? Or, hey, I listen. And so I just, I know. Yeah.

Okay. I mean. Or it's like, hey, no. Wow, so what do you do? And I would tell them, and they would be like, I'm just kidding. I'll listen to the show all the time. Oh, well, I mean, it just wasn't a comfortable environment for me. Okay.

Just because you can know kind of right away via communication, normally if you're meeting someone more organically, you may not know that they... Well, and I talk to my idea is. How do I delete this and, like, get my bumble coins back? I'm trying to get refund. And they were... I couldn't get my refund. I'm a bumble coins. But I got off all that stuff.

Yeah. So now I'm back. Any questions, anyone? I'm back. What was the last bit of communication with? the girl, the Ninja Turtle. She asked me if I talked about that on the radio. Oh, and what did you tell her?

I got off Bumble. That's smart. So you just like Irish goodbyeed? Yeah, yeah, I just, I deleted my existence. So like, you didn't say, FYI, I'm getting off Bumble, have a great life. No. You just feel like that was, bye. Yeah.

I can't believe, I mean, you didn't fail until you don't. Yeah, I failed. I'm going to keep failing, though. But you got to keep going. That's the whole premise of your book. so you should have stuck it out because there's going to be one girl on Bumble that doesn't listen to the radio.

No, it's not even just dead. I just spent too much time on it. So I was done. I'm done. It can be a huge time sucker and you really don't have time. No, I have time. It's a priority. I'm just done.

You two can say whatever you want. You can lockbox can figure out your ways. I'm done. I'm off that. Maybe one day I'll get on. We were enjoying it. I know you were. Yeah, it was a lot of fun for us.

I thought I was going to get to go on a coffee date with Ninja Turtle. Like a pre-date? Yeah. No, okay. Today's National Alaska Day. Do you know the state capital of Alaska, Amy? Oh, do you know what it is? That's right, it's Juno.

Yeah, that's maybe one rolling one's a note. Thank you, thank you. So, we'll go around the room here. I'll give you the state, give me the capital. By the way, if you're any one of these states and you're offended, don't be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Think of how hard it is. Amy, what's the capital of the great state of New Mexico?

Santa Fe. Correct. I wish you an Albuquerque. No, but I do love Albuquerque. Lunchbox. Yeah, I know one. What's the state? capital of Illinois.

Fun fact, that's where my husband was born. In Phoenix? Okay. That's not that fun. All right, here we go. Well, it's fun fact because, like, he never really lived there except when he's a baby. How about Alabama? In Idaho, Illinois, Indiana.

I know, Alabama. My family, those are my roots. Montgomery, Alabama. Correct. Wow, Montgomery. State Capitol game lunchbox. Yep. Give me one I know.

Can you give me one? Can I request one? Go ahead. Vermont. No, not. I know that one. I know that one. All right.

How about North Dakota? North Dakota. I don't think I can name a city in North Dakota. There's that TV show Fargo. I'll go with Fargo. I don't even know if that's in North Dakota. By the way, I love North Dakota. Been a few different places.

I think you've spoken of the Capitol before. I have. It's Bismarck, North Dakota. Love it there. Love it there. Eddie. You summer there, huh? Yeah, I do summer there sometimes.

Only summer. Never winter. Eddie, what's capital of Florida? Florida, that's easy. Tallahassee. Correct. Boom. Amy, if you get this one, you win, okay? Okay.

So sad. The Twin Cities, but St. Paul is the capital. And there's Amy our winner. There she goes. There it is. Hey, Vermont is Mount Pillier. Six pints. Hey, lunchbox, you got none the right.

I know, but you gave me the most random ones. That's the problem. If you would give me Vermont. Yeah, no one knows that. And you asked for Vermont. Because that's Montpelier. Texas. Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Amy's the big one here this morning. Thank you for that.

You want Kansas, Topeka. Dirk's Bentley will be in in a bit. It's like getting in a trivia game and going, you know what I know? Here's the question. Right, right. You want to know Nevada? It's Carson City. Okay, cool.

It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. I love this story. So these firefighters had a medical call. They go on the call. They're leaving it. It's in Charlotte.

And they drive by in their... There's this family with a kid, it's his birthday party, and they're having trouble filling the kiddie pool. And so they use some pots and pans to fill the pool. And these firefighters are like, oh, man, so they pulled over the fire truck and filled it. I love that. They're like, we got it.

And so they filled it with the hoses. They filled the kids pull up. Took about two seconds for his birthday. Yeah, isn't that a good one? Yeah. That's a good one. That was tell me something good. Folks, it's your buddy and mine.

Mr. Bobby Bones. Let's go. I'm a trams. across America. Over to Amy with our Morning Corny of the Morning. Here we go. The Morning Corny! What kind of markets do dogs avoid?

What kind of markets? A flea market. Well, don't ruin it. No, I thought of it, though. That's good. I didn't know it. I was thinking about it. What kind of markets do dogs avoid?

Well, flea markets, of course. There we go. Thank you. That was the... Morning Corny. Hey, speaking to that, Markets, I was reading the story about Best Day to have a yard sale. The best day? Saturday morning.

Friday. What? That's when dealers, collectors, retired people come out in droves. Most people don't realize that. Like a Friday afternoon, Friday evening. Saturday morning is second and obviously Sunday is third. Wow. But like a Friday evening.

Eddie, weren't you having a garage sale or yard sale? Yeah, we were. And we haven't had it yet. But my wife still has all the bags packed and the boxes in the garage. She wants to have it. So maybe we'll do it on Friday. Friday evening and then again on Saturday morning. Okay.

Imagine you're on an airplane because this happened. A jet blue pilot accidentally told air traffic control that his plane had been hijacked. And so... How do you accidentally tell... He pushed the wrong code. Oh, okay. It wasn't like verbally accidentally come out of your mouth, but I could see pressing in the wrong code. So then dozens of police surrounded a jet blue flight at JFK Airport.

And then a bunch of armed guys. guys go running into the plane and people on the airplane screaming because all these arm people running with guns up. That's crazy. That's like in America, too. It was later determined that the aircraft experienced a broken radio and then pilots after the wrong code had stopped communicating with air traffic controllers. Wow.

Is that crazy? That is so, like, pilots are probably reading that now and they're like, okay, when I'm pressing in a code, I'm going to be very cautious. Here's another one. Passengers capture a half-naked man running on the runway. in Atlanta. Like, what's happening to airports?

Are they just zoos? Like, if you're going to have a good time, apparently you go to the airport. Yeah. This guy, Jaron Jones, was identified as the man who sprinted toward the plane. He jumped a fence in Atlanta.

He ran toward a Delta Airlines plane, jumped on the wing. Man, this guy knows that a party. The video shows him. By the way, he's only wearing his underwear. He was arrested. Like, he had to be fried, right? Yeah, I don't even know

how all this is possible. on something. He scaled a fence, ran onto an active taxiway. Authority said he had sprinted toward the jet, jumped on the wing. That would be kind of fun, though, to get on the wing. I'm not going to lie to you. Do you think it was a dare? I don't know. I think it was probably, he's probably on something. You don't jump an airplane, a fence in your underwear and jump on an airplane without being on something. Okay.

That's a terrible dare. Or a bet. Go to jail. Federal crime for the bet. So, yeah, there's that. And by the way, let me pass this along. So I got the list yesterday, and my book went number one in New York Times. bestseller list. I saw that. Amazing. How about that?

Oh, thank you very much. Welcome. Thank you. So I just want to say thanks to all the listeners out there who, I mean, I just wrote the same stuff that I try to say and pass along all the time. But that's a really crazy thing that I have a second number one New York Times bestseller. I never thought I would write a first book, much less have two. So, yeah, it's pretty cool, huh?

Love it. I got the call yesterday and I kept going, no, but what would have been better? What could I've done better? And they're like, no, no, no. like this is the top of the list and Mike D said next to me and all I'm going is like no no but who like who beat me because like how can I get better next time

and they're like no no no so yeah there's a thing well so did you do anything to celebrate even in your I signed books last night for five hours but like no little party in your mind like hey all that hard work not yeah because it is a lot of work

I will I will I will but yeah that's a thing right there so I'm pretty excited about that what else what did you do yesterday I was pretty much just at the hospital all day. Doing? Well, I mean, we haven't talked about it, but my dad has cancer.

So I'll just go and throw that out there. And he had surgery. So he has had to have tumors removed from his throat, his tongue, his tonsils removed, and his lymph nodes. And how'd that go? A lot longer than expected. Really? They originally thought it was going to be a two-to-three-hour deal, or at least that's what we were told. and then it was over seven hours.

So you just sat there for seven hours? Until he got out. Well, some of it I was working in them, but my sister, both my sisters were there the entire time and my dad's girlfriend. And then my in-laws came up. Yeah, we all just sat around and talked and hung out and tried to think of things of how to be there for him when he's recovering and what it's going to be like. He's got a feeding tube and he will. Yeah, he's in ICU for two days and then the hospital for a week, which originally they told us to be like three days. So I guess it's just a little more intense than we thought.

But after the surgery, he'll do radiation for six weeks. And I didn't think chemo was in the equation, but apparently yesterday they said it still could be. So we'll figure that out later. But, you know, it's not our first rodeo. And I think we're equipped and we know what to do. And yeah. Well, I feel bad talking about my dumb book whenever we're talking about your dad. No, my dad's girlfriend bought your book.

She was talking. That was one thing we talked about at the I had no idea. And she told me when we were in the way, I mean, we talked about all kinds of things. And she said, seven hours, I guess so, huh? Yeah. She was like, I was listening to some interview or watching some interview. She couldn't recall what it was. But she was very interested in what was being said.

And she's like, this just sounds great. And she's all about motivation. It's like her wheelhouse. And she said, I'm going to, whatever this is, I'm getting this book. And at the end of the interview, she heard Bobby Bone. So I don't know if she had the TV going. She was heard stuff. But she knows what you look like.

So she said, what? Bobby Bones, I know him. So she went straight to Amazon, and she's like 85 plus maybe. And she said, I went straight to Amazon. I ordered it and fail until you don't. Who said, can't wait to start reading it. Well, thank you. So I thought, and I mean, completely, like, I don't really speak to her.

I mean, I don't think my dad has been like by this book. She legit just heard you in an interview, loved what you were saying, didn't even realize it was you till the end, when bought it. So, hey, she contributed to you getting to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. My point is that my book doesn't seem like a thing. I'm sorry to hear about your dad and it being that long. Yeah. Yeah, it's okay. I think it's just, we'll figure out the whole journey.

He's 77 and, you know, he'll get through it. He's never really had surgery or anything. Crazy happens. So he's prepared to do whatever. it takes to kind of fight it, get rid of it. He's really optimistic and we'll just get over it. Well, we are all here for you. Or at least I am. I don't know what I'm sorry. I didn't know about that. I'm really sorry to hear about it. Yeah, I didn't know she was actually going to go into that. I was just like, well, I didn't either, but I was like, well, literally it's what I'm going to be doing

and it's going to likely come up. So, and I feel like for me, I was in a denial for a little bit because, you know, losing your mom to cancer and then your dad getting it and you're just like, what the heck? Like it's a weird that your, I mean, my mind has been in denial and yesterday it became very, very real. So anyway, and we, that's what we do here, share and we all get through stuff together.

So thank you. Well, I'm here for you. And I'm proud of you in your book. Two totally different subjects. I don't want to talk about that now. I know, but it's true. I want, I don't want you to feel weird about talking about other things just because,

I mean, everyone's always got stuff going on, you know? Well, okay. We will digress and move on to the next thing, and I don't know what that is yet. But is this where I'm going right here? Is this song or no? No, no song? I'm being told me no song now.

Are you being awkward now? No, I don't know what to do. We went way over. Okay. I didn't know we were going to get into that. Sorry. Don't be sorry. Okay.

That's what we do. The caller had asked about Lunchbox's baby earlier. Here's something. They went to the hospital yesterday, right? What? Yeah, we had to go to the hospital. not raising any alarms. We went to tour the labor and delivery floor.

You have to before you can go give birth. That way you know where to park, where to check in, the process, what room it is. And then where the recovery, like you're in one room, you give birth and you get two hours of like cuddle time. And then you move up a floor and you go to the recovery floor where it's a different room. And that's where you're for 48 hours. It got real. Yeah, did it really feel like the baby's coming? Yeah, because they're like, okay, so when you get here, you're going to get five green bracelets,

and you have to give them to people so they can come back to the room. You cannot, without a green bracelet, you can't come in and see the baby, and they start talking about how they make sure there's checks and balances so the baby doesn't get put with the wrong family. And I was like, wow, I'm about to have a kid. And there's all these other families about to give birth, all these women waddling down the hall, about to pop. Wow. So do they have room options? I was curious about this.

Like, do they say for this room, it's going to be this much, but you can upgrade to this. Oh, you can upgrade to the suite for $150 in night. That's right. You get your own fridge. You get a little bit more space, a bigger TV. You love that bottle service. Like, you're doing it? Yeah, I know.

What are you going to do? And if you upgrade to the suite, they bring you a candlelight dinner one of the nights you're there for you and the wife. Wow. That is amazing. See, I've heard it's pretty, I mean, I always thought if I ever got pregnant, I was going to upgrade to the fancy suite. So I've always been curious about that because I've heard it's pretty amazing.

Are you upgrading lunchbox? I'm thinking about it because the lower one, only the wife can order off the menu. You have to go down to the cafeteria. The sweet, husband, and wife can order as much as they want. Aw, we should gift that to them. Somehow we'll get lumped in to pay for the whole pregnancy. Listen, I know what I... It'll be like $10,000.

Here's your bill. Get pimping joy to pay for this. That wouldn't be a bad idea. That would be a good idea. What if you had a lottery and everyone bought a ticket and you'd drew one of them and they got to name the baby, but all the money went into the, like, the bill. And your baby's paid for. Oh, wow, that's a good idea.

Oh, that's not a bad idea. That way I don't have to start out my baby's life in debt. Yeah. I'll talk to the wife about that. The kid from This Is Us, Lonnie Chavis, the adopted kid. Yeah. You know what you're talking about? He has a big gap between his teeth.

And so he was yesterday, he was talking about how people were picking on them because of the big braces between his teeth. Oh. And he says, like, braces can fix this. but like can you fix your heart though and everyone yeah everyone was like retweeting him I mean he's a lot smarter

than a lot of adults I know he's like yeah I'm happy I can handle this I'm not tripping but there are kids out there if you're watching this don't trip be who you want to be do who you want to do be you believe in yourself I don't think you said do do what you want to do whatever earpair fairy scene yeah yeah but I was watching like Michael Strahan send a message back like hey man I got a gap between my teeth too

like hang in there you can fix it if you want but You don't have to. You don't have to do anything. Anybody else see that on the internet? I miss that. I do like Michael Strainman's gap, though. I mean, that's him. Yeah.

That's what I know about. David Latterman had a big gap, too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's it. How about we, do you see the guy that is going to go to jail for threatening to post fake Yelp reviews? Oh, I saw a headline about that, but. Yeah, a guy in Dallas got three years in jail for threatening to post fake Yelp reviews about a company if they didn't give him $30,000.

Okay. Yeah, so he was, yeah, he's like, if you don't pay up, I'm going to ruin you. Then as soon as he got paroled, he made good on the threat, started posting reviews from his halfway house, and the judge sentenced him to eight more years of prison. He just could not help himself, you know? He would think, like, a little time in the slamer. So what's that called?

Is that called blackmail? Probably extortion. Oh, extortion, okay. More than blackmail? Because he doesn't have anything on them. Yeah, you're right. That's why I think. The Bobby Bones Show.

All right, so what I'll do, I'll give you the child actor, Tell me the TV show they start in. All right, okay. So the reason I bringing this up is Shaila Buff, turned 32 last week, and he has a biopic that he's making about himself, apparently. He's already making a biopic about himself. But he's young, right? He's 32.

Home alone! Oh, that's why Lunchbox is smarter than you two right now. Why? Because he knows if he misses it, who cares? He at least got a shot at it. He yells his name regardless first. He's smarter than you two. Who does that every time?

Yes, just gamesmanship, he's smarter than you two. Because he just yells his name. But he doesn't all. Always win. But it doesn't matter. He always gets a shot. He's not going to be beat by timing. So I should just be prepared to say my name no matter of that.

You want to pass the time. You don't need the internet for Best Fiends. You can play on a flight. You can play in a cave. Believe me, you will not regret it. So, download Best Fiends for free on the App Store or Google Play right now. Best Fiends, it's like best friends without the R. Best Fiends, it's a puzzle game. Morgan number two, aka Webgirl Morgan,

aka Webgirl Morgan number two, loves it as well. So there we have it. Best Fiends. I wanted to say a couple things. First of all, congratulations on the success of the record. Look at this guy here. Look at this guy. And who's clapping the hardest? And who's still clapping?

Dirk. That's a road thing. We all clap a lot in the road. Here's a question for you, because Bernie Man's a new song. It's the new radio single now, Bernie. I'm a little bit steady. Yeah.

What's the process of asking someone to be on your record? It's, you know, everyone I've asked is, like, Marin Morris has been on some stuff, El King, Brothers Oswald's one. It's just me asking, me texting them. But isn't it a little weird because it's a little pressure? It's a little, do you have to go, by the way, you can get out of this if you want? Totally. How does that work?

That's the first thing. It's an easy no, you know, just easy. You kind of just say no, say no, say no. Just, but if you wanted to, it'd be pretty cool. And, yeah, definitely want to make an easy out for whoever. I want them to be in for the right reasons because they'll, because they'll, love the song. I don't want them to be in because it's a favor or they feel pressure. I either love it or don't. And honestly, Burning Man, I love the song so much.

I didn't really, if it wasn't going to be a duo with those guys, it wasn't going to be, it was just going to be myself because I love the song. I hate to give up any of the verses. I told TJ that. I'm like, I like, I like, I like sing in. I like such a great singer and John just rips like guitar solo. But I wish I had my phone because they wrote me right back like within like three minutes of sending him. It was like expletives, yes, were in, say when you want to do it. And I love about, Everyone I've worked with so far, you know, like those guys, they walked in by themselves to the studio. There was no, like, team around them.

It's John's carrying his own amp in his guitar. And here comes T.J. With a bottle of something. And we sat in the studio for three, four, five hours. Long enough for everyone to get kind of deed up and then also get hung over. I mean, we're in there for a while. It was just playing with the music and having fun, and it really was just a great experience. What's deed up, man?

I was just trying to figure that out myself. I mean, I'm not that cool. Ten few drinks, sorry. But what's deed? Drunk. Oh, drunk. Why would you not say drunk? I don't even kids listen to your show and stuff.

Well, deed up made my brain go worse. Yeah, me too. Like, way worse. Like, way worse. I was like, oh. How do you do D YouTube? What are you all? It's a new thing. It's the Molly's yesterday.

And now it's all about the D. I mean, I just stopped him though. We don't really say the D. Yeah, we always said to talk about the D. Uh-huh. He's like, I'm in the studio with Brothers Oz and we're just, and we're just, you know, just a bunch of guys and an amp. Lots of D.

Just hanging out with the D. A bottle and an amp and some D's. What? Derek's Bentley's here. I'm glad you came about. I'm going to play Burning Man. I hope everybody streams it, downloads it. Congratulations.

What a great intro for that song. By the way, I saw you on a Pepsi commercial? Yeah. How about that? Yeah. I mean... Is that good? Is that national or is that only running in my county?

No, it's national. That's a big deal, dude. I don't know if it was like a regional Pepsi commercial. That's a big deal. Thanks, man. Yeah. I got some more spots of... Patches available for patches. You know, I got Pepsi and some twisted tea and some five-hour energy.

But Pepsi, they're investing. You're on. You're like, that's like Michael Jackson. And Britney's Fair Day. Like, MJ Brittany Dirk's. Yeah. He burned his hair making that commercial in the 80s or something. I think it's a public access thing. I don't think it's like the real, real channel. I saw you. I was proud of you too. I don't know. Yeah, I thought I was like, whoa, man. Pepsi. Where it's like back, remember when we knew Dirks when he was just doing? Remember when he called me back and stuff? I saw him on American Idol. I was like, oh, I see how it's. going out and have to wait outside there for about 10 minutes. You're a Pepsi guy.

He was good. I texted you that you did a great job. Total natural. Did you? Yes. I don't know about that. I didn't. I haven't heard from you since the summer of 19.

No, I said you're a total natural. Andy Dufran. Dirk's Bentley, lived the long life. The guy you were mentoring, the country kid. All of them. Yeah, but one guy you were like a greener. Caleb Lee Hutchinson. Caleb Lee Hutchinson.

He got second place. Did you have a point? Is it over? Yeah, it's over. It's been over like two months Is he going to go Oh my gosh My gosh

Sorry Is he going to be coming on the air You have some of that deed this morning or what What's that? You get some of that I don't know He's going to deed up right now Sorry

Oh God All right As always it's a pleasure my friend Savage It was going so good It was so savage And then I It was real savage

So So Brett Eldred Stoped by the house And did a bobby cast And then High Valley came by the house You may know High Valley from this song right here Or maybe this one Their brothers

They're Minnanites I didn't know what that was really It's kind of comparable to Amish Amish come from Minanites They live so far north of Canada And I mean it took eight hours just to get to the airport From where they live Yeah

So here is Brad one of the two brothers Talks about how their biggest dream as a band Is to have a crowd made a fan Here, let's do this. We were trying to, and Curtis and we were trying to sum it up the other day. Like, when we say family values in a Mennonite town, it's quite different. One of our biggest dreams as a band is to someday be the first country band ever to sell out an arena based on family tickets, where it's like, this is the price for a person, this is the price for a family,

and everybody's there together as families. So, I mean, they're... Aw. I just got goosebumps. It's super family with them. They talk about their family driving eight hours to get to the airport because they had to come to the Opry and watch them. They wanted to see their Grand Ole Opry debut. Playing the Opry for the first time, that was a big enough event that in 48 hours they got passports and drove to the airport and flew here to see us. What's driving to the airport?

500 miles. And it used to be, now it's all paved. It used to be grout, 150 miles of it was gravel. Yeah, it's considered an eight-hour drive for most. Like, on Google maps, it would read. You drive eight hours to get to the airport? You drive fast, but Google will tend to get a passport. Isn't that crazy?

Wow. Like, you talk about, this is, that's real country. Yeah. They're real-life country boys. So one other one I wanted to play was they had no idea what organic was. Because that's all they knew. There was no such thing. Right. There's no pesticides.

They lived on a farm. Yeah, they grew all their stuff. Yeah. I hadn't heard about organic and paying more for organic. And then when they explained to me what it was, it literally was our backyard. Just paying extra for it. You were hearing organic. You're like, what is that?

But really, what they were saying was that this is what you're used to. You're going to pay more for what you're used to. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know what organic was until I was probably 18. They had no radio station until they were in, like, teenagers. They were just farmed a table naturally. Completely. It's amazing. It's episode 128 of the Bobbycast with High Valley. I love that. I hope you search for it on IHeart Radio or iTunes.

There you go. It's a Bobby Bones show. Amy, tell me about your neighborhood. I mean, it's really cool. Like, it's very diverse, a good mix of people. Probably a good mix of, you know, people's income, what they do. Great restaurants. Like a lot of young people moving there, a lot of young families. But also, you know, you could get shot.

Or drug deals likely going down one block over, stuff like that. And through the last couple of years, you've shared these stories with us. And sometimes on the news, your neighborhood pops up, like, infinite. We'll be like, oh, look, there's where Amy lives. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's cool. But cool comes with a price. Definitely.

So what happened to you? Well, I was walking down the street with my son, and I had groceries in my hand because we walked to the market sometimes. And a car pulls up next to him and is like, hey, excuse me, excuse me. And I'm thinking, probably needs directions. I'm just going to go ahead and leaning to get close and be like, oh, what do you need? And I lean in and he goes, you married? I said, yes. And he goes, oh, you like to get high.

Oh, good follow that question. I said. I mean, yeah. Like, that's not what I was expecting the next question. I said, no. He goes, dang. Okay. And then he drove off.

And I'm thinking, my son's right here on my bike. And my son's like, Mom, Mom, what did he ask you? What did he ask you? And I'm like, nothing, buddy. Don't worry about it. But then the more I thought about it, there's no way I should have gone up as close to as I did to his car. Because he pulled over on the side of the road.

And I went up and, like, had my hand on the window ledge and leaned in. And I was like, can I help you? Almost like, I'm supposed to be talking with this guy. I mean, what if he, like, pulled a knife or forced me in his car or grabbed me and then pull me through the window? And then my son just left there, my groceries strung out on the floor. All these scenarios went in my mind later where I thought next time I'm going to be way better prepared. I'm not approaching the window. If a man pulls up and is like, excuse me, I'm going to be like, yes, how can I help you from far away?

If your son wasn't with you, would you have gotten high? No. Would you have told him you weren't married? No. Good question. No and no. I wonder if that's ever had ever had. Work for him.

He just pulls up to some woman. Obviously. Right. Do I look like? You want to get high? I mean, this can't be the first time he's done it, Bones. No. But he could be over.

He definitely, no, no, no. He was definitely slick about it. It was not his first time. But I was thinking, do I, am I doing something that's making me look like, you know, I'm just going to, like, abandon my kid and hop in. Were you walking in yoga pants? Shorts, yoga shirt. Workout shorts?

You got to take your shot. Shoot or shoot. No, shoot your shot. Shoot your shot. Anyway, y'all just be careful when you approach cars because after I approached, I was like, this just wasn't safe. Next time, though, do it and tell us how that goes. That would be interesting. Yeah, I want to know the rest of the story.

The Bobby Bones Show. Amy, would you like to be Megan Markle and be a princess? Oh, I mean, I think about that sometimes and yeah. She thinks about this. What about it is appealing to you? Because I just, I don't think I would like it. I mean, yes, I agree with you in that. I don't think overall long term I would like the everything that comes along with that

because it just seems really demanding and there's pressure and just all the things. But I mean, for like a minute, I just kind of wonder it would be like to hang out with the queen and be a princess all the sudden. For a minute, but for me it's not even the pressures. It's if you have everything all the time, nothing's worth anything anymore. meaning if you're given all the excesses all the time, what's even a value? Because you have everything. So that to me is what it gets to.

I'm reading the story, though, about Megamarkle where she can't even eat in public anymore because you can't have stinky breath, you can't eat messy food, like our whole life. And also, you have to think she was an actress. She'd been chasing this craft forever. It fulfilled her. And now she can't even do that anymore.

Yeah, she was an actress so she could be famous. And now she is super famous and she's got everything. People bowing down at her feet everywhere she goes. is the life. Everything is free. You travel first class, private jets. I mean, come on, people. I would be the princess for that. I understand why you would think that because it's like, I don't have this stuff. It would be cool to have this stuff. And you get to go to all the, you can go anywhere you want now. Before this, she couldn't go to a certain place because she couldn't afford it, couldn't do certain. She can do anything she wants in the entire world. And that is

amazing. I was watching this YouTube video of Michael Jackson when he was alive, and he didn't even get to go to grocery shopping because he was so famous, he couldn't go and try to do anything that normal people could do. Oh man, it's so terrible. We get to have someone to shop for you. So what they did is they rented an entire grocery store and hired people to walk around and like they were normal shopping, and they let him walk through and see what it was like to actually grocery shop. And I was super sad for him. Oh my gosh. Because he never got to experience that. She'll never get to experience any sort of normalcy again. And I get it seems fun. And on the surface, you go, oh, people would be loving me, and I get all the free cookies.

But in the end, it doesn't seem appealing to me. It's sort of like George Clooney, you think he can go shopping? Yeah. Maybe. Some places. No chance. Yeah, I think in some places. That's probably why he lives in Italy.

Oh, yeah. Because they probably don't think he's super famous or cool. Yeah, they've never seen Notions 11 over there. No, ER? E.R. Roseanne. It's all that story. I was looking at the story, because there are.

a bunch of these out here. Amy, what happened in your neighborhood? Did something else happen where they're like on the news? Oh yeah. Cop cars like crazy. So I guess there's a carjacking and- Okay, this is what it was. This is an Amy's, we just talked about this yesterday where the guy was looking for a dollar. So this is the story I saw. Near your house, there was a carjacking and there were cops everywhere, right? Yes. Yeah. And then so like 10, 10, 12, I don't know. My husband happened to see some of it and there was a helicopter flying above. Then during the car chase trying to get the suspects, two cop cars ran into each other, causing an accident. Like, then two of the three suspects, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old were arrested before the crash

of the officers, both had guns on them. This is blocks from my house. Crazy, right? Amy, you have to get out of there. Yeah, I know, but also my neighbor, it's also really quaint and awesome. And Brothers is awesome one of those next door. That's true. Both of you all need to get out of there. And they're like the nicest.

Yeah. So, yeah, I guess. I mean, car thefts happen all over town, you know? But every day we come on this show, it's something new in your neighborhood. Yeah, man,

the carjacking suspect had an AK-47. Whoa! Wow. Yeah. Yeah. And, Amy, you sleep at night, good? Like, you go to sleep and you're like,

I feel so safe and warm and it's I just Yeah I make sure my doors are locked I set my alarm You know And then I hope for the best I let them die small

What they may I just you know I feel like I have read That one of the biggest mistakes You can make is leaving your door unlocked And so I just try to make sure We're all covered there It does make me think about the time

I stole those bikes Or not I didn't I approached the kids that stole my kids bike and ask for them back. And then later a police officer told me that that's like a really poor decision on my part because the kids could have been armed because the juvenile issue in our neighborhood happens to be so bad that they formed a special task force for them. Man, one of the female.

In the car gas? Yeah, one of the suspects, which is, you don't really see that very often. I think she was a girlfriend of one of them. All right. Well, there's that. By the way, if you go to Bobby Bonescom, a few tickets left in my name, Northampton show coming to D.C., Little Rock, Bakersfield. Love to see you guys, Bobby Bonescom.

Bobby Jones. Hey, Brad and Florida. What's up, buddy? Hey, doing great. Just wanted to say thank you all. I commute an hour from Gainesville to Ocala. I've been working numerous cities over the years for Lowe's, and nothing's like what you all have going on between the different personalities, you, Eddie, lunchbox, Amy. It's just great chemistry with the right amount of confidence. commentary with the right amount of music and that positive twist with I see you to something good.

You all have it. It's perfect. You asked a listener earlier as to his opinion. You all got it right. Don't change the thing. And thank you all. You all drive with me each and every day, 50 miles, brother. Holy cow.

I mean, it's like we fed him the perfect thing to say, and he called the show. Like, did our bosses make you call and say that to use in a later promo? Yeah, that would be great. No, really, don't change the thing. in this crazy day and age and there's so much negativity, you all make me smile from all the way down I-75. Thanks for that. Hey, let me ask you a question real quick, so they got you here.

You know, we all have stories going on in our lives. You know, Amy's got the kids, lunch, Eddie, myself. Whose personal storyline, like, are you following? Like, I can't wait to hear about this. What do you want to hear? I'm looking forward to seeing lunchbox, whether it's a boy or girl. I love what Amy's done. It's, I mean, what she's done is a miracle.

I love hearing about that. It's just, you know, I'd love to hear about you having a girlfriend one day. Boy, me too. Yes, I would like to hear that relationship. And, of course, I'm going to have to clue in on some social media there and try to find her picture and look a little bit more into it when I have time. I'm a busy guy, but no, I love hearing about y'all. Oh, well, thanks, man. Hey, can I send, can I send a book?

I don't know, do we have books to give away? Can I send you a book and sign it and send you a note? Do you mind? That would be fantastic. I mean, with that least I can do. Holy cow. The Bible Bowl show. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

So if you're planning on hosting a Fourth of July party, I have how much it's going to cost per person to eat at your house. Kind of like at a wedding. You do the meal per person. Okay. Go ahead. $5.51 per person. So on average, people have about 10 people, be about $55.

Now, I've been thinking about doing something at my house. Not so much on Fourth of July, but on the sixth or, you know, that weekend. Oh, okay. I just wonder if anybody's around to come. Let me check. The sixth. What's that Friday night? The Friday is the sixth. I'm back Friday night, so it could do something Saturday?

Oh, okay. Well, I base all my plans around what you can do. No? Yeah. No, no. Oh, I thought you said, will you base? I was like, no, you don't have to. All right, what else you got?

Okay, so if you lose your cell phone, I have a way for you to get it back. Pretty much on your lock screen, you need to put your information. How someone can contact you and reach you if they found your phone. And that makes sense because you can just hit the side button. You don't have to put in a code. Nope. And you can call them from your phone. They can just see like the message that you leave them.

Like, hey, if you find my phone, email me here. It's pretty good. So it increases your chance by like three times. So that's how to get it back. And lastly, I have rules about dating that are outdated. Oh, I probably do all these. Because I like to keep people in the know when they're dating. And since you're so lit.

Go ahead. Yeah. Yes. Okay. So the three date rule, apparently. that doesn't really exist anymore. What's the three date rule, though? You don't have to wait for three dates to make a move on someone that you're interested in.

Oh, to make a move. What about my rule, the 30 date rule? Okay, okay. I don't know about that. Okay, that's funny, though. Okay, going out on a real date is outdated. Like Netflix and chilling? That's not thing.

No, no, no, no. Don't do that early. No way. Not literally Netflix and chill. No, no, but literally Netflix and chill with Amy B, Netflix and chill. But they said if you have them over to just, watch Netflix, that's a date. But that's, hey, Morgan number two, let me bring you into this.

You're 24. You know, I've been dating recently. If some guy said, hey, we just started dating, come over to my house and watch Netflix. What does that mean to you? I mean, I would think it's more of a hookup than us dating. Exactly. Me too.

And we're both young and cool. Well, you can leave room for the Holy Ghost. Also, listen, listen, here's this. If a girl gets asked out on a last minute date, like last minute, should she say yes or no? If we're not playing by the, let's not think too much about it and say, just do what you want to do, then yeah, go if you want to go. Look at you're so progressive. That's part of this, because it's outdated to say no.

They say, if you want to go, go, go for it. That's right. Listen, Morgan number two and myself, we're just young kids trying to figure it out in the world, right? Morgan number two. Right. Except for Bobby's 38 and mortgage 24. Why are you going to do that? I'm just clarifying.

Last two quick things, allowing the other person to pay, you don't have to. I always pay. Yeah. But, I mean, that's outdated. She could, you could let her pay maybe. Old-fashioned, if you will. Go ahead. And then lastly, no, not kissing on the first date.

Sometimes kissing is a great way to figure out if you have chemistry with someone. Kiss away, they say. Morgan number two, did. Did you kiss your boyfriend on the first date? I did. That happens. From Bumble. Amy, don't be touching on.

Wow. No, I'm worried about her. Like, you don't, when you meet someone on the internet, should you kiss him on the first date? Amy, you just contradicted how cool you are. Okay. Never mind. Kiss away. You good?

Yeah, maybe. That's my pile. Bobby Bonds. And that's the way we do it. Hey, Dirk was in today. Shout up to Dirk's tomorrow, the Friday morning dance party. Thank you, everybody, for being a part of this show with us. Check out the Bobbycast.
