Hey guys, welcome to Monday show. Morning studio. Morning. Remember last week we had a TikTok of Craig
Morgan singing his Starbucks.
order. Here's a clip.
I'd like a venti
Americana
with extra heavy
whipping cream
and baby could you please
baby could you please
steam it for me?
Also she has to be like, what's happening here?
So Lunchbox did this.
Oh great. He went out.
The guy who can't sing.
We'll see. You be the judge.
You went to sing where lunchbox?
I went to White Castle.
All right, here we go. Lunchbox singing his order.
All right, welcome to White Castle.
Go ahead.
It's your order.
Oh, yeah.
I need, I need a small shrimp niblers.
Okay.
And don't, and don't you, and don't you forget, I need that small, I mean, so small, so small fry.
I can't even beat that.
Where are you drinking?
You having some of a drink today?
No, drink for me.
Just a shrimp nipples.
And a small fry
Okay, that's gonna be 621, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, you'll make everybody smile to you.
All right.
I don't even know what you ordered.
A shrimp nibbler?
Yeah, a small shrimp.
What is that?
I don't know, just saw it on the menu.
I thought it sounded funny to sing.
Shrimp nibbler.
Okay, so that was it.
And a small fry.
So how do we like that?
That's funny.
Okay.
He then decided to elevate it,
and he went to Starbucks to wrap his order.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
If you think you can't sing, let's see what you think about is rapping.
Here you go.
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, you know me?
I want that hot chocolate, Vinti.
But you can keep the whip for the next broski.
Oh, my God.
This guy's got bars.
That's what I do.
I drop rhymes all the time.
Oh, my gosh.
So you want to keep the whipped cream for the next brosky?
That's correct.
All right.
Anything else?
That's it.
$39, boss.
I'm out.
Are those your kids crying?
Oh, gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
That guy, he was like, oh, my God.
He's like, you got barred.
It's time to open the mailbag, but with new intro music.
Here we go.
You send an email and we read it all the air.
It's something we call Bobby's mailbag.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Love it.
You like that?
Yeah.
The email goes,
Hey Bobby Bones.
During the pandemic,
my husband started
playing games on his phone.
It's a war-style game.
He builds his army
and there's an alliance.
Every other Sunday, he plays for an hour.
But every other Saturday,
there's a 12-hour event.
And once a month,
there's a state versus state event also.
Now, I don't mind them playing.
I know he needs time
to hang out with his friends.
And right now he can do that,
but we have three kids,
ages five and under.
I'm a stay-at-home mom,
so I'm with the kids 24-7.
I don't mind giving him the hour every other week,
and I mostly don't mind the two nights a week.
But the 12-hour game, that's an issue.
I like to have him pick an hour or two,
and those be set times to play and be done after that.
I know he needs this time, but I feel like there should be some limits.
I've mentioned it before, but it doesn't seem to stick.
I'm starting to get frustrated with it,
and would love some advice that had to handle this moving forward.
Thanks, Carrie from St. Augustine, Florida.
12 hours is heavy.
That is a very long time.
I don't even know how you do anything for 12 hours.
No.
I mean, I lean toward the 12-hour.
If you're, if you have responsibilities, you can't do anything for 12 hours.
That's tough.
I think he should be able to play all the other stuff except for the 12-hour event.
I'd shut that down right now.
That's a long time.
I might give them one 12-hour event every three months and decide right now what it's going to be.
You get one.
You got to give me a week notice, but you can do one every three months.
That's fair.
That's like a business trip.
12 hours.
That is so long.
How do you enjoy?
I play NBA 2K.
What's the longest?
I play for an hour and I'm like, I'm tired.
Like, I'm done.
Sometimes when we get on, we haven't gotten on in a bit,
we can play for a couple hours.
Sure.
And even then we start to get fatigued.
I have a nephew who can play for eight hours and just get on and play these war games.
He will, when everybody else goes to bed at 10 o'clock,
he will stay up and play until sun comes up and then sleep all day and then wake up and start playing again.
It's amazing.
It's amazing if you like video games.
But the 12-hour thing's got to stop.
They can't be once a month.
I would say once every three months.
Give him his time to play games.
I don't think there's anything wrong with the one hour and the two hours,
as long as he's not missing things.
If he starts to miss baseball games,
the kids are young, so there's no baseball games.
But if he started to miss parenting responsibilities,
then I think that's a different conversation.
But I would say you can give him the 12 hours once every three months,
the one and two hour stuff, that's okay, as long as it's sporadic.
Eddie, you're a video game player as a dad, and you have four kids.
I have four kids.
I'm a gamer and I have to admit
I have to admit bones that
they set these games up to
be a little addictive.
Like these are addicting games and if you
don't watch it, you get consumed
in these things. I've had, I do Friday nights
mostly and Saturday nights and I'm talking
four hours, sometimes five hours.
And my next day is toast.
And I can't do that because I have to wake up with
the kids and do all that dad's stuff.
So look, I think he's
getting trapped in this stuff. So she
definitely has concern here.
She has like reason to be concerned for sure.
The 12 hour event, if you went to your wife and said, I'd like to play for 12 hours.
Get out of here.
She would have none of that.
No, 12 hour event is ridiculous.
Yeah, no way.
Not happening.
Not even once every three months?
Once a year.
And you got to earn each hour or something.
Okay, okay.
Come on.
That's, like, I'd be like her, what are we escaping from here?
What if he just likes the game?
And it is an event.
I guess that's true.
The event makes it.
What if he was like a big paintball?
and he was just once every few months
was going to leave and play a full day
of paintball with his friends at a tournament.
Same thing.
Or a softball tournament.
That would be 12 hours.
Okay, but he probably has to train
for the video game tournament.
Okay, now you're making things up.
You're inviting new stipulations.
New re.
That's probably true, though.
All I'm saying is, if it's a softball tournament
to be the same thing.
Okay, yeah, well, softball,
I guess you're right.
We view outdoor activities
and doing things outside different
than video games.
Who's we?
I do.
Okay.
Don't put me in that wee.
Okay, that's what I say, Kerry.
Good luck.
He shouldn't play as much as he does for the 12 hours, once every three months.
But he also can't be disappearing for other crap.
Like, again, if he, you know, is going to go to a big Pogs tournament up in Tampa.
Right.
He can't do that because he's dedicated it to that.
Thank you for your email.
Close it up.
We've got your email and we read it on the air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's mail pack.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Morgan, if they want to be in the mailbag, where do they send those emails?
Mailbag at bobbybones.com.
There you go.
It's the good news countdown.
Counting down the biggest good news stories across the land.
Let's go.
I got five good news stories starting now.
Number five.
TikTok is adding a new kindness feature to stop bullying, including one that asks you to reconsider before posting a comment that might be inappropriate or unconsored.
That's awesome.
So they are working towards stopping some of the bad stuff happening on social media.
There's also, on TikTok, you can put in the words you don't want to pop up in your comments.
Click those three little white dots.
You're on Instagram too and say, I don't want these words popping up if people are hitting you about something you don't like.
So good for TikTok.
Number four.
A man named Corey wanted to complete the world's strongest marathon by going 26.2 miles while pulling a one and a half ton
Ford Ranger behind him. Not only did he do it, he did it in a record time of 16 hours, 12 minutes.
Why would you even want to do that? How was there a record before? With the publicity he got from
doing the event, he was able to bring awareness to an organization dedicated to the eradication of
childhood sexual abuse. You know what? We talked about it. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Wow. That is a crazy,
That is a crazy thing to go and try
to run 26.2 miles
while pulling a big old truck behind you.
I can't even imagine.
When I ran a marathon, 26.2,
there was an old man running
with an American flag.
He carried it the entire way.
And when old, I mean like 80s, 90s,
he was old.
He still beat me.
Carrying this big old heavy American flag
the whole time.
That's funny.
Number three.
This little girl is getting her hair braided
by her father.
calls him super dad. She says she loves him. Here you go.
Guys, my dad is a great year child and he's my super dad and I love him. I'm going to show my
mommy. I'm giving it a braid. Superdad. That's awesome. Number two. Mr. Pugh, a third grade teacher
in Pine Grove Elementary, has started every single one of his classes by singing the theme song to Mr.
Rogers since they went virtual every single time. Here's a clip of him singing to his students.
It's a beautiful day to be in our class
A beautiful day for our students
Could you be mine
Would you be mine
It's a neighborly day at our school
A neighborly day for staying cool
Could you be mine
Would you be mine?
Not that bad of a voice either
That's pretty good
It's playing guitar there
Number one
A retired school teacher in Mississippi
named Vernetta Price
Has helped dozens of people
In her small town get vaccinated
By booking appointments and offering rides
She says she's not stopping until everyone who wants a vaccine can get one.
Either she takes them, they take themselves, but she will be there to make sure they get to where they need to go.
That was the Good News Countdown.

Financial stress is one of the things that we don't always talk about,
but it hits harder than we realize.
It's not just numbers in a bank account.
It's the anxiety that keeps you up at night.
It's the tension that it can create in relationships.
And that constant feeling of, am I doing enough?
There are moments where it's overwhelming, where no matter how hard you work, you feel like you just
can't quite get ahead.
And what you learn is that stress isn't just financial.
It's emotional.
That's why it's important to check in with yourself, because struggling and struggling with
money doesn't mean you fail.
It means you might need support in a different way.
Therapy can help you unpack the stress, the pressure, even the beliefs that you've carried
about money for years.
And with better help, you can get matched with a licensed,
therapist who fits your needs. Plus, if it's not the right fit, you can switch at any time.
You don't have to carry the weight alone. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help.

Morgan Number 2's 32nd Skinny.
Kenny Chesney announced he's releasing a deluxe version of his Here and Now album.
It will have four new songs on it and he will drop it on May 7th.
Justin Moore is releasing his new album straight out of the country on April 23rd,
and he talked about recording the new album all over Zoom last year.
This technology has allowed us to continue.
continue to work on new music and not really be just completely stopped as far as new music
and getting it recorded as concerned. So, you know, it's a blessing that we have it. I would
rather be in the studio, obviously. Dustin Lynch talked about his involvement in his clothing line,
stay country. My sketching is very bad, but I can articulate and I can collage pretty damn good.
So I've understand, you know, that's my strength. And then I've got to, and then I've got to,
got a great team behind me that brings those ideas into reality.
I'm Morgan number two.
That's your skinny.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
It's been a long time coming, but Melvin the Dog has finally found his forever home.
The Black Pit Bull spent nearly two years in a Los Angeles shelter before a family adopted
him, giving him the best birthday present ever.
He will soon celebrate his fourth birthday, and this time he gets a.
to do it in a new home. He's been there for 667 days. So I don't know what the odds are. This family
ever listens to me say this. But first of all, great job. You wouldn't adopt a dog that
wasn't a puppy. Secondly, you adopted a pit bull. Love that. I think pit bulls are only how they were
raised. I think they get a complete bad rap. Just happy this dog got adopted. And Melvin,
what a name. You ever know a human name Melvin? No. I knew one. I haven't thought of it since right now.
I knew him when I was in sixth grade. Melvin Swain. Melvin.
I thought about him on a long time.
That's a good name.
All right, there you go.
That's what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
On last week's show, we talked about writing letters to celebrities.
I wrote to Holcogan, Amy wrote to Patrick Swayze, Eddie wrote to Cameron Crow, the director as a kid.
Lunchbox wrote to Troy Eggman.
Anybody else write to celebrities?
We all in?
Okay, so we said, what if we do it as an adult?
Well, Lunchbox took it on himself to already do it.
Now, this is going to be a science experiment.
What did you do?
Well, I decided that I don't know if people even write anymore.
They just email fan clubs or whatever.
So I decided to write letters to three superstars as a kid and see if they'll mail me something.
What do you mean as a kid?
I wrote like I'm a seven-year-old.
Oh, wow.
Oh, you wrote the letter.
Is that your real handwriting?
No, I wrote left-handed.
Okay.
Oh, wow.
I wrote, so I'm right-handed.
So I took the opposite hand and I wrote a letter to carry Underwood the Rock into Oprah.
and I'm going to mail them
and see if they'll mail me anything back.
How long is the letter?
It's just like one page
but it's just big writing and sloppy.
Would you mind reading it to us now?
Would you like to read? Who would you like me to carry?
Oh, you did three different ones?
Yeah, I want to hear Oprah.
Carry the Rock and Oprah.
Okay, let's do Carrie Underwood first.
Okay.
Lunchbox has written a letter to Carrie Underwood.
And how do you know where to send it, by the way?
I figure I'll just send it to the record label.
I don't know.
I was just going to send it to the record label
and hope they get it to her.
I don't know.
Where do you send it to the rock?
To his studio? He has a studio.
Okay. And then Oprah Harpo Productions.
So you're...
Okay.
I'm just... I don't know.
Shot in the dark.
See what happened.
Okay. This is to Carrie Underwood.
Dear Carrie, I a big fan and like to hear you sing.
I hope to be cool, K-O-O-L, like you, win me older.
But a seven-year-old wouldn't say all that, would they?
When me older?
Like I misspell and I don't have proper...
Yeah.
My seven-year-old wouldn't.
He'd do better than that.
Okay, but go ahead.
I am Miranda and I-7.
Can you send me a picture for my wall, please?
I live at, and I give my address, and I put, buy Miranda.
That's good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just think it sounds like a four-year-old.
It's okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right, good.
Now, would you like to hear to The Rock?
Yes.
Mr. The Rock.
I a big fan and like you on TV.
I hope to be cool like you when me older.
Tooth Fairy is Best Movie.
My name is Greg.
Can you send a picture for the wall?
And I give him my address.
I am seven years old.
Buy Rock.
Signed Greg.
It almost sounds like Yoda.
Like a kid Yoda is writing these letters.
Or maybe he's from Russia or something.
You know?
Like English is not his first language.
And finally.
To Miss Oprah.
My name is Amanda.
I like you on the TV.
I want to be on TV when I older.
My birthday will be May 12th.
Can you come?
Can I have a picture for the wall?
I am seven.
I hope to be cool like you when I get older.
Bye, Miss Oprah.
Signed Amanda.
And you're going to mail them off today.
I'm going to mail them off today and I'm going to give them one month.
And are you going to write though in adult on the front?
So it's like your parents addressed.
Yeah.
Yeah, my parents will address it.
Obviously, a kid is not going to address the envelope and put a stamp on it.
Oh, I thought it would be super impressive and it might make its way to someone opening like, oh, this looks interesting.
Well, okay, you have a great point.
I would say make sure you don't misspell or leave words out though.
Right.
Like, don't do what you did here.
We're like, I, kid, food.
Like, just write their name.
Make sure it's all there so you can easily read it.
But if it does look like a kid, that's a good point, Amy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
And then every week we'll check in and see if you got something back.
This is kind of like when he sent the balloon up.
I didn't think anybody would ever get the balloon message.
And somebody did.
So who knows?
We might be meeting Oprah.
Oprah shows up.
She's like, where is little Timmy?
Oprah was Amanda.
Where's little Amanda?
You're looking at her.
Oprah, she's a hairy 40-year-old man.
Lunchbox just raises his hand.
I, Amanda.
All right.
We'll check back in a week and see how that's going.
It is now time for a trivia game we call Never Gonna Get It.
Because I don't think you'll ever get it, right?
But we have a caller on.
Leah, how are you?
You're in Albany, New York.
Good morning to you.
Hi.
Good morning.
How are you?
Really good.
We're going to play a game called Never Gonna Get It.
Up for grabs, a $50 marathon gas gift card.
Maybe get you a couple tanks of gas.
Maybe one tank if you have a big SUV.
And also for the show, you guys are playing for 20 bucks.
Cold Hard Cash.
Wow.
Woo!
All right, here we go.
The question is,
Abraham Lincoln was the only president
licensed to do this.
What is it?
Abraham Lincoln was the only president
licensed to do this.
What is it?
Now, as they're thinking, Leah,
I'm going to give you the option,
first of all,
you can win if you think
any of them will get it
or any of them won't.
What do you think, Leah?
Do you think even just one of them
will get the question?
Now, can I choose you
Or am I just choosing Annie and Eddie?
Well, Lunchbox is playing.
Morgan's playing.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with Eddie.
I never get it.
Like, never get it.
The song should be Eddie's never going to get it.
Eddie's never gotten it.
Oh, not this time.
Or any time.
But you're going to go with Eddie.
So you have to be licensed.
I'm going to go with Eddie.
Yeah.
Abraham Lincoln was the only president licensed to do this.
What is it?
I'm between two things.
I got it.
Lunchbox thinks he has it.
Eddie, how are you doing?
I've got something written down.
Morgan?
I don't feel good.
Amy?
I'm in.
I know some things about him,
but I don't know that you need a license.
Leah, you can change your answer.
Lunchbox thinks he knows it.
Amy feels pretty good about it.
Eddie, she picked you.
How do you feel?
I wrote something down.
Terrible?
That's about all I got.
Yeah.
I feel like Amy always says she doesn't know and then surprises me.
Okay.
So maybe I'm going to change it to Amy.
Smart.
Smart.
Okay, well, if Eddie doesn't have a...
I know that I have a better shot than Eddie,
but I don't know that I'm correct.
I know some of Abraham Lincoln's hobbies.
I don't know that you need a license, though.
I don't even know how I know these hobbies.
Well, probably team of rivals.
Huh?
His book?
I didn't read that.
Your husband did.
We talked about it.
Oh, well, so if he read it, it's automatically in my brain?
Yeah, osmosis.
No.
You lay next to him.
You get his...
Okay.
We're going to go around the room here.
Leah, you pick Amy?
Yeah.
Okay.
Don't go with me first.
Abraham Lincoln was the only president
licensed to do this.
I'll come to you last.
Lunchbox, what do you have?
Well, my first instinct was notary,
notary that stamps things.
And I was like, that's just dumb
because no one even knows that a notary is.
And I put make alcohol, beer,
like a brewery.
A brewery.
Yeah, you've got to have a license to do that.
To manufacture alcohol.
To manufacture alcohol.
Okay, Eddie?
If anyone knows anything about Abraham Lincoln,
he loved to fish,
so he was the first person to have a license to fish.
Morgan?
I don't know anything about Lincoln,
but I'm just guessing that he was ordained to marry people.
All these are good guesses.
Oh, a licensed, like, you know, priest, pastor or something.
What's up with you?
What do you have?
I'm bartender.
Huh, slinging drinks.
The tinned bar.
So one of you has make alcohol.
Yeah.
One of you has tinned bars.
Because I think you have to have a liquor or a license to, you can't just go be a bartender.
That's true.
That's true, Amy.
Right?
You have to have TABC.
Was that around men?
Texas.
Why are you laughing?
Can I say what my other one was?
It won't count.
Yeah.
He's a wrestler.
He was a wrestler, yeah.
But you don't need a license to wrestle.
He was a wrestler?
Yeah.
That's cool.
And wasn't a popular president even after he died.
Yeah.
But I also know he was a bartender.
So lunchbox, you say make alcohol.
Amy, you say tend alcohol.
You say fishing.
And Morgan, you say.
Marry people.
I got to go, if there was alcohol legal when he was president?
I don't know when alcohol.
was illegal. Yeah, it was legal. Okay,
because the prohibition thing, I don't know when that was.
That went away and then it came back. Prohibition was like an
introduction to no more alcohol, then it came back.
Got it. I think prohibition was after. Yeah, after him.
Got it. Okay.
One of you have the answer.
Oh, I knew it.
It's Amy right. It's us too.
Yeah, because anybody can make alcohol.
Not legally.
I don't know yet to have a license to make alcohol.
No, people make, my husband's friends make beer in their garage all the time.
I'm not saying you're wrong, but.
Yeah, you're probably, moonshine.
Well, that's illegal.
It's illegal.
Oh, okay.
Okay, never mind.
Well, whatever.
Morgan, your answer of Mary people is not right.
Oh, man, that's funny.
Now, Leah, you picked Daddy, but then you let him go.
Yeah.
Is she regretting that?
There's no way it's a fisherman.
I'm going to talk to Arkansas Keith the other day,
and he's about to turn 65, and he's like,
how you feel about turning 65?
He goes, man, I feel great.
I said, why?
He goes, I'm 65, I never have to buy another fishing license.
It's a lifetime license.
Oh.
So you do have.
have to be licensed. Oh. But in 18, whatever, did you have to be licensed? I mean, you got to eat.
Leah, do you want to go back to Eddie? Are you good staying off, Eddie? I'm going to stick with my
girl, Amy. Okay. Oh my gosh. Eddie, guess what? Pishing license? Yeah. That's the wrong answer.
Oh. Oh, he was the only bartender around. I could not believe I got this right. So lunchbox
said make alcohol. Amy says tend alcohol. Yes. Leah, would you like to switch over to lunchbox and go with
Make alcohol?
I mean, lunch
Lex could be right.
Or stay with Amy to tend.
No, I think you could kind of do anything back then.
I don't think you needed a license.
Then why would you need a license to be a bartender?
Well, that's a job.
To make alcohol.
And you're just saying words at this point, but I like it.
Okay.
Abraham Lincoln was the only president licensed to
Tend bar.
Oh!
Yes!
Wow.
Amy's going to.

You're fascinated by your own brain.
There's some things that I should know
that I don't know.
But I knew that.

And I don't know
really important things
that I'm supposed to know.

Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So last week, Bobby, you said if we came into work and knew we had coronavirus,
but we didn't say anything. That was a fireable offense.
If you come into work knowing you have COVID,
Don't tell anybody.
Exposing others.
And spread people knowingly.
Yeah, it's fireball offense.
Okay, so would you stop being friends with someone if they exposed you to COVID?
If they knew and then they were with me and didn't tell me, yes, of course.
That's you having complete disregard for someone's health.
Yeah.
So you're not friends anymore.
Are you going to tell me you did this to me?
No.
She's setting me up while I did it.
No, but a study was done and 25% of people say they would unfriend someone if they exposed them to COVID-19.
I don't think exposing is bad because sometimes people have it and don't know.
But knowingly exposing someone.
I know.
I thought the percentage would honestly be higher.
But like also too, are you a little bit mad at the friend?
Even though, I mean, I guess they didn't know.
Like if Eddie came in and gave it to us and he didn't know he had it, then it's not his fault.
Right.
You'd still be friends with me.
Of course.
I think there are people that are being extremely careful and still get it.
Yes.
I think there are people who are being completely reckless and don't get it.
I don't think one absolutely has to do with the other.
playing the odds, if you're careful, you're not going to get it.
But that doesn't mean it's for sure.
But yes, you're all fired.
You can do that.
So you can now buy, now that's what I call music, Outlaw Country.
The weird thing now about people putting out these compilation albums is that for the most part, you can just go listen to them all separately anyway.
Oh, but there's a vinyl version coming out, April 16th, so that could be cool.
And it features like Miranda Lambert kerosene.
Is it weird they call Outlaw Country now just really?
popular stuff from people that...
Well, Johnny Cash is also on there.
Folsom Prison Blues Live.
So this is just actually good country music, and they're using the term
Outlaw Country to have a little edge.
The first song on the record is Chris Stapleton Traveler.
I don't know what's determining these
outlaw things.
Just people going, they have a little attitude about them.
Okay. Oh, that makes sense.
Yeah. It's not what it used to be.
But it's people going, well, they're...
Because Outlaw country...
If you were to pick people, now you'd probably take Cody Jenks.
You'd probably take Sturgel.
You'd probably find a bunch of people like that.
But they're not as mainstreamly popular.
So they go, outlaw country with huge popular country artists.
Also, Randall Amort's on there.
And Travis Tritt, he's on there too.
Yeah, he blocked all of us on Twitter for a while.
That's pretty out long.
So there was a study done, and Eddie and Lunchbox need to listen up to this
because apparently dads get more free time than moms, especially on the weekends.
So I guess dads need to kind of step it up.
When they looked at like the free time they got,
moms got about 30 minutes, whereas dads had about three hours of their own free time.
Not arguing that.
Yeah, nothing wrong with that.
Sounds like a good thing.
So it is.
But I mean, you see that as being true?
It's true.
Very true.
Why is that, Eddie?
It's just, I mean, the moms, my wife is the hardest working woman ever.
She gets no break ever.
That's why when it's like 9.30, she's out.
Well, why don't you give her the break?
I'm working, and then, you know, I get home, and she's got everything under control.
So I'm like, all right, I'm here if you need me.
He's got video games.
Is there anything more reassuring, though, than I'm here if you need me?
I didn't sound like it.
Yeah.
Okay, guys, step up your game.
I'm Amy.
That's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
So Raymond Schaefer, he didn't get to do his high school graduation because he went off to serve during World War II.
Here now 77 years later, class of 1943, he finally got his graduation party.
That's cool.
Isn't that cool?
Yeah.
So I think that's just super special to go back and recognize such an important day.
They go hard?
I don't know that they went hard, but there was a...
Maltow Mill?
They had a local high school market.
band participate. I mean, it was the thing, for sure.
Spike the prune juice? Yeah. That's awesome. That's a good story. That is what it's all about.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
This is for sure something that would happen to me. A woman climbed onto a dinosaur statue at a park in Washington.
Then got so scared the fire department had to come and rescue her. Oh yeah, for sure. That's me.
It looks good on paper. I like to climb up that thing. And it's not but like 15 feet up in the air.
It's also not 300 feet
Like she's up there and then she just won't come down
It's a T-Rex, pretty cool statue
But they created this dinosaur park to like create interests
And she climbs up there
Maybe to get a picture or something
She won't come down
Say they call a fire department
My kids do that all the time
Do what?
They climb a tree and they're just like
Will you help me get down? I'm stuck
I'm like now you got up there
You're getting down yourself
Will you at least stand there with your arms
Like you're going to catch them if they fall?
Yes but then they'll just eventually get down slowly
I mean it's just
You have to just cheer them on.
I did that on my Nat Geo show.
I'd get up somewhere.
Be like, oh, help me get down.
Let's go over to Amy with the morning corny.
The morning corny.
What did the DJ say to the vegetable farmer?
What did the DJ say to the vegetable farmer?
Lettuce turn up the beat.
Oh, that's good.
Let us turn up the beat.
That's a good one.
That was the morning.
Morning, corny.
This is Sally in Vegas, who's on the phone right now.
Hey, Sally, what's going on?
Hello, Bobby.
Hi, studio.
Good morning.
I was just wondering, hypothetically, if lunchbox realizes if he hypothetically hit the lottery,
does he know he'd have to split it with his wife?
Yeah, I mean, that's fine.
If I'm a multimillionaire and she was with me when I bought the ticket, I guess we can split it.
No, no, no.
She doesn't have you with when you bought the ticket?
Like, not physically with you, like married to you.
Yeah, no, no, I get it.
married. So, okay, that's fine, but we're multi-millionaire, so I won't really worry about that.
$1 million. I kind of, I don't know, but I'd fight that one. What do you mean you can't fight
that one? What do you mean you can't fight it? There has to be ways, like, maybe she doesn't,
like, maybe it's against her beliefs to play the lottery so I could take that to court and be like,
look, she doesn't even believe in the lottery. So she doesn't really. I don't think that's how it
works. And really, it's only going to become an issue if they were to split up. Well,
because the money. They split their money up anyway. Right. I think that he would deposit into into his
account, but if for whatever reason they were to get a divorce, she would actually have rights to it.
Let me walk you through if you win a million dollars. If you win one million dollars, you will
probably get $650,000 after taxes. That's pretty good. Right. That's great. Yeah. Let's just say
you get 600,000 because the math will be easier. Okay. You each get 300,000 into your accounts.
So a million has now turned into $300,000 each. Are you okay with that? No, I think I got a case here now
that I think about it because we do have separate accounts so I can prove that I used my money to buy it.
But I don't think that's how it works. If you're together while it happens, it'd be like if you work and
she stays home and raise the kids, sure you had separate everythings, but you weren't able to work
without her staying home to raise the kids. So that's a very valuable thing. Man. Maybe you could write up a
document for her saying, I promised. You could do that. Oh, I can a written contract. If you win the
lottery, she will not claim it. Okay. Run that by.
her. I will. I'll write that up and see what she says.
Stacy, or excuse me, Sally,
what do you think about that? I think it's fair. It happened
in Vegas, so I was just, and he
had to split it with his wife,
even though they were going through a divorce,
but they weren't actually divorced
yet, and he had to split it with his wife.
So I was just thinking,
hypothetically, how he would react to that.
See, this is so
wrong. They're going through a divorce.
Like, it's over. Like, and then
this money-hungry woman is going to say,
oh, I get half, even though she was already out the door.
Come on.
Or it could be man.
But imagine that you're getting divorced
and you're so bitter at the other person
and you're not divorced yet.
So what's his is hers and hers is his.
Of course you're so bitter.
Of course you're going to jab in there and go after it.
Yeah, lunchbox.
Let's say you're getting a divorce
and your wife wins the lottery.
Are you going to want half?
Absolutely.
Okay.
You money hungry, bitter man.
Does she play the lottery ever without you?
No, she doesn't even know how.
She gets like if we ever stop and I say, hey, run in,
she goes, what do I say?
What do I say?
I get so nervous.
I don't know how to do this.
Does she think she's robbing the place?
No, no, no.
What do you have?
She just, like when it's a big...
It is intimidating.
Yes, because there's a line usually,
because usually it's a big jackpot
when I make her go in and try to get the tickets,
but she doesn't know how to buy tickets very well.
So no, she does not play the lottery unless I instruct her how to do it.
Sally, we appreciate that call.
It's some good stuff for us to talk about here.
Okay, and thank y'all.
We love your show.
Thank you very much.
I know you think that you're going to win at least a million by the age of...
55.
What do you think the odds are you win a million in the next
years. Probably 13%.
Why 13? I would
think it would be about 33%
Oh. Based on
your logic. Because you're basically
40. Yeah. So 15 years.
Because it's a third of what you're saying. So why did you
pick 13? Yeah. No, no,
because 13 right now, I'm
not spending as much as hopefully I'll have more
money when I'm 50, so I'm able to buy more
tickets. And so my
odds are going to be a little bit lower now.
Hey, thank you for that lunchbox. You're welcome.
In-depth look at lunchboxes's life.
Do you have anybody that looks at your money?
What do you mean, like a bank?
Okay.
All right.
That answers that question.

Hey, doing well.
I'm going to give Amy seven of these.
If she gets at least five of them
right, you win, okay?
Okay.
She can even come to you and ask
if she's a little torn about it.
So I'll give you two people.
For example, this is number one here.
Who has more Instagram followers,
Blake Shelton or Luke Bryan?
Oh.
Blake.
Shelton.
You're jumping out like that.
Just going Blake immediately.
Yeah.
Blake Shelton has $4.2 million.
Luke Brian has

That was an example.
I think you guys need to talk about it together.

Okay.
Now, you're going to have your chance to either win a $50 gift card, Monica, or some crap from the back.
Okay?
And so if you win, we'll get your choice.
All right.
First up, number one, who has more Instagram followers?
Garth Brooks or George Strait?
Oh, what do you think?
I think probably Garth.
I would agree.
I know you love George, but let's go Garth.
I know.
I think Garth is just a little bit more.
has more of an online presence than George.
Like he does those Facebook lives.
He has like Garth TV or something.
So Garth.
The answer is.
Garth Brooks.
Garth Brooks, 1.7 million.
George Strait 1.1 million.
Wow, that's close.
I'm impressed.
One for Amy.
Okay.
Luke Combs or Thomas Rett,
who has more Instagram followers.
Oh, my.
I have no idea
Okay
Thomas Rett definitely has a lot
But I'm sure Luke Holmes does too
And Thomas Rett's wife has over a million, I think
I would definitely go Thomas Rutt
Okay, well that's what we're going to do
Wow, you're going to Thomas Rett
She says definitely
Over Mr. Right now, Country Music, Luke Holmes
Yeah
Okay
With the most Instagram followers, it is
Nice
Thomas Rett
How much does Luke have?
Thomas Ratt has 4.
7 million, Luke Combs is 3.6 million.
Oh, wow.
Next up, Dolly Parton versus Carrie Underwood.
Oh.
I don't know.
I mean, Dolly, like, posts, you know.
Gosh, that's a tough one.
I feel like Dolly's been around longer, but who would have more of a social media following?
Maybe, Carrie?
Maybe.
But so many people love Dolly, and she does.
She actually puts stuff up.
I don't know if it's her.
She'll put up a little, like, 9 to 5 memes.
Shoot.
Yeah, that's true.
I know.
Let's do with your pick.
Dolly Parton versus Carrie Underwood.
What are you picking?
I don't know.
Fine.
Carrie Underwood.
Oh, wow.
You fought for Dolly and you settled on Carrie?
I don't know.
Sometimes, you know, like I have to do the opposite of what I'm thinking.
Dolly Parton has $4.1 million.
Oh, shoot.
But the winner is.
I know not to trust my gut.
That's trusting your gut.
Is learning.
Not trusting.
Learning when your gut.
Like if I'm doing directions now,
if I'm driving somewhere.
Thanks, Socrates.
She's getting me.
Stop.
I'm spinning.
No, this is the thing I've learned about myself.
If I, my first instinct is to turn right,
if I'm going somewhere and I don't know where I'm going,
I turn left and ends up being the right decision.
You're like George Costanza.
Yes.
Confusing.
Lady Annabellum.
Oh, sorry, Lady A.
Lady A, yeah.
Lady A.
Or a little big town.
Oh, man.
I think a little big town, but that's just my...
You guys say Little Big Town.
Yeah.
The answer is...
Oh, Steve!
I've been trusted my gut right away.
You should have said, Amy,
is Little Big Town what came to your head right away,
because we should say Lady A.
The answer is Lady A.
Jason Aldean or Tim McGraw?
Oh, I...
I don't know.
Aldean?
What do you think?
Right away, I go to Aldine.
Okay, let's do it.
Is that your answer?
Yeah.
The answer is?
Well, lights come on.
Okay.
All right, if you get this next and right, you win.
Okay.
Well, she wins the gas card?
She gets the pick.
She gets the $50 marathon gas card or crap from the back.
She hasn't picked yet?
Mm-hmm.
Kelsey Ballerini or Shania Twain, who has more Instagram followers.
Chenaya.
Really?
I was going to say Kelsey, so.
But you know what we do with my gut?
We go the opposite.
So Shania.
You're going Shanaya.
Yeah.
All right.
The person with the most Instagram followers is?
There's a whole.
Oh.
Well, they both sing this song.
Kelsey Ballerini.
Okay.
Try to get us with that.
Okay, we're on the final one.
If you get this right, you win.
If you get this wrong, you lose.
Who has more?
Brett Young or Brett Eldridge.
I feel.
Which, they have the same birthday.
Did you know that?
No, they do.
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.
It just happened.
I thought about that.
I feel like.
Brett Young
Brett Eldridge
definitely took a hiatus
from social media for a while
and maybe that
Kurt is following
but
he is super popular
Oh
Wait let me think
I think I'm gonna go
I follow Brett Eldridge
I don't know if I follow
Brett Young so let's go with Brett
You can't just say Brett
Yeah
Nice
Why not?
Okay
Brett Eldridge
Brett Eldridge. How do you feel about that, Monica?
Let's go Brett Edelcher.
I'm scared to go with 80's gut.
No, no. I feel good about this one, though, because my gut instinct, if you really think about it, was that it was Brett Young.
Okay, all right, let's do it.
Like, if you break it down, I really was leaning Brett Young, so I'm going Brett Eldridge.
The person with the most Instagram followers is...
I want to be that.
Brett Eldridge.
And that's a winner for Virginia, Armonica and Virginia.
All right, Monica, now it's coming down to you.
You're going to have either $50 gas card from Marathon.
Or we have crap from the back, which there's a pillow with my face on it that they pulled out here.
And I mean, heck, I'll sign it if you want.
There's a game of Telestrations, a game we love.
Which is fun.
And then a hat that says TCHDWN, meaning touchdown, I guess.
Would you like the Marathon gift card or the crap from the back?
I would like crap for that
She liked that
Would you like me to sign this pillow
Yes please
Okay
Where are you going to sign it?
I'm nervous
I'm not my neck
It's two Monica
To Monica right
Yes
To Monica
You are
Delightful
All right
Here it is Monica
We're going to mail it to you today
There you go
Good
You're running your chin too?
That's his neck, Eddie.
It looks like you have a goatee now because of your signature.
That's rude.
That's rude.
Give it up for Monica, our big winner.
And Amy, our big winner.
Nice job.
It's time for the good news.
With producer Eddie.
Tell me something good.
31-year-old Matthew Wondra has a rare genetic disease that causes him to have muscle tones that are weak and eye problems.
So he rides a special bike.
He loves to ride.
His dad gifted into him like 20 years ago.
And it got stolen out of just nowhere.
And he was really bummed about it.
And his sister saw that he was bummed.
So posted on Facebook, guys, have you seen this special bike around?
It's got three wheels.
It's like no bike you've ever seen.
It's got stolen.
Can you please someone help?
Finally, some girl by the name of Vanessa Duckett says,
you know what, why are we even wasting time looking for this bike?
I will buy him a new one.
Stranger doesn't even know him.
Spend a lot of money to get him his bike.
Who would have stolen that bike?
Obviously it's for a bike with someone that has special needs.
Yeah.
But where are you going to sell that?
Don't know.
It reminds me like Pee Weirman when he got his bike stolen.
Like, why would you steal a bike?
Well, that was a tricycle.
That was a cool bike.
It could be some punk kids.
That's who stole my kids' bikes one time.
And then Amy confronted them on the street.
Weeks later, yes, I saw them riding it through the park.
And I straight up ran after them.
Probably shouldn't have done it.
Ran into a police officer later in the neighborhood told me that that was not smart.
But you actually ran after them and got them.
Oh yeah.
I ran after them, confronted them.
There was people around because it was the St. Jude Marathon.
So I felt safe.
still probably wasn't smart.
And I just said, those are my kids' bikes.
Where did you get those?
And they said, our friend gave them to us.
Our friend gave them.
And I was like, no.
And then I said, you see those two kids over there?
And I pointed to my daughter and my son.
I'm like, you see them on their feet?
They're on their feet right now because they don't have bikes.
And so then they came over and they left them there, gave them back.
And they walked away.
And one of the boys, I ended up, I would see him around every once in a while.
And I started to make sure just to talk to him.
Because I felt like maybe he just needed a positive someone to like not, you know,
hold anything against him. So I would always check on him, how you doing? One time he asked me for
money, so I gave him a few bucks. Like, I just tried to stay on his good side also too, because I
didn't want them to come. I didn't want them to come retaliate. He knew where you live. But still,
I mean, yeah, justice was served. That's a good story. Do you have her name again, Eddie? Yes,
her name is Vanessa Duckett. Vanessa Duckett, that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good.

According to a survey, more people are sleepwalking through their careers.
Most people have no sense of professional direction.
They show up.
They go to work.
They don't really sit down and figure out where it's all leading.
And when they reach 30, they go,
oh, I should really start to figure something out.
Like, that's the age where it starts to click with people.
Like, oh, well, I'm getting older?
Like, I've got to figure out a career.
I'm going to walk with you down your life, Amy.
Okay.
Because I always knew what I wanted to do.
Always.
I couldn't understand people who didn't.
And now I realized I was the minority, but I wanted to be on the radio and I wanted to be on TV and I wanted to tell jokes.
That's it.
And I've pursued it and I'm doing it.
I feel grateful that I've always known.
But I don't feel like that was the case with you.
No.
No, I know.
I never had aspirations for radio at all whatsoever.
When you were 10 years old, you wanted to be what?
A veterinarian.
My uncle was a vet.
I loved animals.
made sense to me.
So when you were in kindergarten
and they were like,
what do you want to be
when you grow up?
You'd write down a veterinary.
Yep.
When you were 20,
what'd you want to be?
A housewife.
Talk to me more about that.
I know.
Goals.
Actually, I'm quoted in my high school yearbook
saying that's what I wanted to be.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
I know, but looking back on it,
I'm like, guy, why didn't I have?
I just didn't know what I wanted to do
and I knew I wanted to get married
and I knew I wanted to have kids,
which leads me to what's the next decade?
30.
When you were 30, what'd you wanted to do?
I wanted to be a mom.
Like, I was in radio with you.
At 20, I was in radio at, but my mid-20s, I was, starting my radio career.
But did I know that I would still be with you to this day?
Absolutely not.
I just thought, this is crazy.
This is fun.
I'm going to keep doing this for a little bit.
But I thought once I got pregnant, I would quit the show and go be at mom.
For those that are new to the show, Amy had never been in radio.
I met her at a restaurant and then brought her on.
And she always told me when I have kids, I'm out.
Yeah.
I knew that.
That was this an understood thing.
Yes.
When I'm pregnant, when I get birth, bye.
And then I never got pregnant.
So, and then when we adopted, we adopted older kids that were in school.
So then it was like, well, what am I going to do all day?
And by that point, radio had turned into a career.
So that's the decade I'm in, I guess, now.
Well, here you are at 40.
I'm going to ask you this one.
What do you want to be when you grow up today?
Delilah.
With Delilah.
Yeah.
And how do you see that happening?
Well, I think that, I mean, obviously I'm here on the morning show, but I do think I need to do something to put me more in that.
I mean, she has her own show that she started in one market and then syndicated it at night.
And she had like something special that she did connecting with listeners.
She would take calls and really listen to them and then offer advice, not as an expert, but almost as like, you know, she would just empathize with them and be able to offer them like mother.
motherly advice like hey you know not not I'm better than you and this is what you need to do but just she's comforting right
and she has a lot of compassion and grace so I'm I'm into that and then now she's in like I don't even know how many markets and so we can sing your song right with
oh sorry with Amy no not you don't sing your own that's not Delilah singing oh sorry let the singer sing her
okay go ready with Amy so I know that I have my own podcast but some of that is like learning how to connect with
my podcast listeners in a different way,
and then maybe start to fill in for some people.
I'm here for it.
Here locally, like, you know, if someone needs to take a two-hour day break,
I fill in for them and I practice.
I've tried to get you to do that forever, so I'm here for it.
Yeah, so you might hear me doing that everyone's while.
And then we'll get, Eddie and I'll go, with Amy.
We probably shouldn't steal the exact melody.
Yeah, I've changed it around a little bit.
Like, Amy.
With Amy.
On the Bobby Bones show now.
Dr. Francis Collins.
Dr. Collins, it is such a pleasure to have you on.
How are you today?
I am just fine.
It is great to be on your show with you, Bobby.
I'm a big fan.
So terrific to have a chance to talk about whatever we're going to talk about.
You are the director of the National Institutes of Health.
What does that mean?
That means I'm the guy who oversees our nation's investments in biomedical research.
The National Institutes of Health is the way in which
discoveries get made and clinical advances occur. And it's my job to oversee all of this in a
$42 billion a year medical research investment, which for the past year has been all about COVID-19,
as you might guess. And we have made some real progress with vaccines and other things.
Well, this is why I'm glad to have you on, because this is the guy to ask about vaccines.
I've had one shot. Eddie's got a shot. Lunchbox has got a shot. Now, we're the inside the two-shot system here
because we didn't get Johnson at Johnson.
So can you explain to me what the difference is in these three vaccines
and if we should look for any of them specifically?
Well, let me first say they are all wonderfully effective and safe vaccines.
So the bottom line is you should take whatever one gets offered to you as soon as it gets offered
because this is how we're going to get past this terrible COVID-19 pandemic.
Yeah, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, those are two shots.
They're based on something called Messenger.
RNA. The Johnson and Johnson is one shot and is based on an adenovirus approach, but they've all been
tested in trials of at least 30,000 people each and been shown to have safety records that are
really quite impressive with no hint of any real troubles there and a highly effective way of
protecting you against getting sick or dying of COVID-19. And that's what we are all waiting for.
And now it is here. So I know people may be a little resistant about, wait a minute, that they rush
this, did they go too fast? I'm the guy who's been overseeing all of this at the NIH. Let me assure you,
I've never seen anything done better than this in terms of the way in which the trials were conducted
and the strength, therefore, the conclusions about these being safe and effective. So roll up your sleeves,
America. It's time to get past this pandemic. Dr. Collins is such a big deal, guys. This is a bigger
get than Matthew McConaughey. You know, we had Matthew McConaughey. This is a bigger, better interview in
my mind. I know we were all like, we got Matthew McConaughey. This is a better interview. I have
so many questions. Okay, here's the next one for you, Dr. Collins. So in the next year,
two years or so, we're going to try to have a kid probably, right? And so my fiance who has
one shot has been like, I'm going to get the shot, but what does this mean if you're trying to
have kids? Is this going to affect anything? It is not going to have any effect. So let me do a little
myth busting here, because there's a lot of myths that are out there being spread around on social
media. This vaccine does not cause infertility, first of all. By the way, second of all, it also
won't give you COVID-19. The vaccine doesn't actually have the virus in it, just a particular
protein that your immune system can recognize is what it's all about. Other myths, no, it does not
have chips in it that Bill Gates or Tony Fauci designed. They wouldn't get through the needle.
So, yeah, everybody, please, look at the CDC if you're looking for information about all of this.
It's all up there. CDC.gov is the best place to go if you really want the facts about what we know about the vaccines, their safety, their efficacy. That's the place to look.
What about people, because I get hit a lot with, they didn't spend enough time. They rushed this vaccine. I don't want to get it if it's done so quickly. What do you say to that? What do I say to that?
Well, I know people are concerned because they heard about this thing called Operation Warp Speed, which maybe wasn't the best choice of a name for the project. But would you rather have Operation Slowboat? I don't think so.
People were dying. We wanted to go as fast as we could to develop these vaccines to save lives.
But let me tell you, because I'm right in the middle of this and have been now for the last 15 months,
what we did was basically figure out where are the downtimes where nothing happens in between the various phases of vaccine development.
And those sometimes take months. And we figured out a way that we could get rid of the downtimes,
but not compromise at all on the rest of the rigorous testing to be sure the vaccine was safe and effective.
In fact, I think people who look at this would say these are probably vaccines that we know more about than almost any others that have ever been tested.
Plus more, the technology that was used, people think maybe it just got invented overnight when COVID-19 burst on the scene back in January 2020.
This is all based upon technologies that have been developed over decades that were ready for this moment and got brought forward and they weren't.
So basically, you took all the time where they were just chilling out.
doing nothing waiting for things, but you did everything they would normally do anyway during a
vaccine. I'm just trying to understand this, that it wasn't rushed with you just crammed things
into a space where it shouldn't have been crammed. You just were extremely efficient at finding the
vaccine. That's exactly right. So first of all, one of the new technologies made it possible as soon
as the Chinese released the actual letters of the viral genome, the code that that virus uses
to replicate itself, to start making the vaccine right then. Sixty-three days.
later, which is a world record, we're ready to start the very first phase one trials.
But then usually there's a big gap between phase one and phase two, not this time.
And then there's a big gap between phase two and phase three.
Not this time.
Those were like days instead of months or years.
And then the other thing we did, which is really important, Bobby, is we figured that some of
these vaccines might actually work.
So let's actually start manufacturing doses even before we know if they're going to work.
We'll have to throw them out if the vaccine is no good.
But if it's good, we'll have them ready to go.
Once the vaccine gets approved by the FDA, people can roll up their sleeves and get started.
And that's how we got started in December, as opposed to what otherwise would have been months waiting for a factory to be built.
And maybe we'd have the vaccines by the fall of 2021.
We didn't want to have that risk of waiting.
So all of this was very carefully planned.
And it has made it possible in 11 months to do what usually takes five or 10 years.
I like that answer, honestly, because I had no idea.
I mean, to me, it was just a block of time where it came together quick,
and I'm going, hey, I'm still trusting people that know more about something than I do.
But to actually hear it laid out like that, I'm like, well, that makes sense.
And also technology is getting better, too, obviously.
So everything should be moving at a bit more rapid rate.
Okay, I'm pretty confident with that answer.
Like I wouldn't be.
We have the director of the National Institute of Health, Dr. Collins, on with us right now.
I start questioning him.
And I'm like, no, I don't know, Dr. Collins.
Okay.
My fiancé and a couple of other friends, they have a little red circle on their shoulder
from that shot, like a little rash circle.
Do you know what that is, or is that just eating the wrong food?
Well, it's certainly the case that as with any injection, like a flu shot or a tetanus shot,
you can get a local reaction after the needle where it gets a little sore, it may turn a little red.
You may even feel for the next 24 hours or so a headache, maybe even a little chilly,
a little feverish.
When I had my second dose of Moderna, that's the one I got, I felt pretty beautiful.
for 24 hours just because of the effect. But you know what? That's not a side effect. That's an
effect. That tells you this is working. My immune system has recognized that it has a challenge
on its hand. This vaccine is saying, come on, get busy. And it did. And I can tell it did.
And now I feel quite well protected because I know my immune system has in its file cabinet,
the antibodies that it's going to need if I encounter that virus in the future. And that gives me a great
sense of confidence that maybe I can actually see my grandchildren in a few more weeks, which would
be really nice to be able to do. Yeah, I had some friends. I didn't get sick at all. I felt nothing
after my first shot, I had the Pfizer, and had some friends who after the second one for 24,
36 hours got really sick. Is there a reason that some people are getting sick and some aren't? And should
I root to get a little bit sick? Like, is that a good sign? You know, my wife just got her second
dose and she got Pfizer. And she didn't have a bit of a problem. She was just,
fine. And I was like, boy, you're lucky. And she was like, well, did it really work? Am I okay?
There's a lot of variability, Bobby. It doesn't correlate with whether you got a good antibody
response or not. It's something to do with just the way your immune system is wired and whether
it's like ready to really pull out all the stops when it encounters a challenge or whether
it's going to be a little more casual about taking care of business. It really, though,
everybody who's heard about these side effects, they last maybe 24 hours. Would you rather
be kind of sick and chilly for 24 hours, or would you rather get COVID-19 and end up in the
hospital or the ICU or lose your life? I mean, that's the balance we're trying to help people
to understand. And I know there's still people a little on the fence here. I hope those who are
listening right now, really give it a serious thought about whether this is the time to roll up your
sleeve, too, and join this effort to get this terrible pandemic behind us. Can I stop wearing a mask
once I'm fully vaccinated? You know, we don't think it's time yet to stop.
wearing the mask because it is still possible, although we don't have enough data to be absolutely
sure, that you could be vaccinated and you could still carry the virus somewhere in your nose
or your respiratory tract, having no symptoms, which means you might then be infecting other people.
So until we have more rigorous data about that, which is going to take a few more weeks,
still recommending that people wear the mask when they're outside around other people.
And certainly, if you're inside, wear the mask, even though it's a low risk, it's a kind of
thing it's a love your neighbor saying. It's not about protecting yourself in that situation.
It's about whether you might unwittingly be a super spreader and putting people around you at
risk. And who would want to do that? So wear the mask, wait a while longer. We're going to get through
this. Eventually, we'll be in a situation. We can take those off. Now, if you're in a small gathering,
maybe invite another couple to dinner at your house and they're immunized and you're immunized,
then everybody can take their masks off and have a nice time together. But if you're in mixed company,
where some people are not immunized, you still ought to wear the mask to protect those people
who are still at risk.
Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, is on with us.
I want to ask a question that isn't extremely about COVID, but I know that you're a devout
Christian, you write books, which is extremely interesting in what you write on about the
intersection of science and faith.
And so the language of God, tell me what this book is about, because it sounds like
something I'd be interested in.
Well, thanks for asking.
I grew up as an agnostic and ultimately an atheist, and then I went to medical school and had to wrestle with questions about life and death and realized I hadn't really thought this through.
And to my surprise, as a scientist and somebody who was interested in genetics, for heaven's sake, I realized that the atheist perspective was the least rational.
That was sort of denying the possibility of God when you don't have complete data.
And ultimately, over a couple of years, guided by beginning to understand the Bible and reading a lot of other commentators like C.S. Lewis, to my surprise, I became a Christian. Now, people said, your head's going to explode. You can't be a scientist and a Christian, can you? And you know what? Over 40 years, I've never had a problem with this at all. I think science is a wonderful way to understand how nature works, kind of a glimpse of God's mind. But science doesn't answer a lot of questions that I'm interested in. Like, why am I here anyway? And is there a God? And does not
care about me. And to be able to bring those things together in a harmonious way, which has happened
down through human history, except for maybe the last hundred years, seems to me like something
we should try to recapture. And so I wrote this book about how, for me, science is a way of
worshipping because you're understanding the creator. And when I study DNA, which is what I did
as the leader of the human genome project, I'm studying a language. And for me, God's the creator.
That's God's language. So, yeah, that's what the book's about.
And a lot of people were surprised that that perspective could be put forward.
But there's a whole foundation now called Bio Logos, B-I-O-L-O-G-O-S, that has become a meeting place for people who have that same view.
And so people are interested, go and have a look at that.
You'll see a lot of really interesting and respectful conversations going on.
Wow, the language of God.
That's really interesting.
Well, then my final question is, why am I here?
Well, that's between you and God.
So you better get on your knees and see if you can get it.
answer. I'm still looking for the complete answer myself. But once in a while, I get a glimpse here and then.
Well, Dr. Collins, we appreciate your time. And I think that, listen, I'm in. I trust science.
I got hit with the vaccine. I'm getting my other one first week of April. There are a lot of people in or around
my circle that aren't fully in. And I think for them to hear this, this will provide a bit of confidence in the
vaccine. Mostly the question of how do this come together so fast? Had no idea. I feel like I'm pretty
dialed in and I had no idea. That was really what happened.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you for all the hard work you have put in.
It has been a busy 2020 for you for sure.
And thank you for coming on the show and explaining, you know, they say explain like I'm five.
I feel like we're all five years old and you're the teacher.
So thank you for doing that with us.
Thank you for the chance.
And again, everybody, please look at the evidence and roll up your sleeve when you have the information in front of you.
I think that's what you'll want to do.
We are going to get through this.
Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health.
Thank you, Dr. Collins.
have a great day.
Thank you, too.
All right.

This story of the day.
This story comes to us from Australia.
Police were sitting inside the police station around 2.30 a.m.
when they hear a car peeling out.
And they're like, what is going on?
They walk outside.
They smell burnt rubber.
Someone was on top of their parking garage practicing doing donuts.
They not know it was the police.
parking garage? There was alcohol
involved and they said they were practicing because they wanted to be
a stunt person.
But did they know it was the police? No, they didn't
realize that. They just found an open parking lot.
They were drunk.
2.30 a.m.
All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story
of the day.
Did you watch the last Blockbuster?
Yes, on Netflix. Is it good?
Yeah, I mean, it's just interesting.
Kind of just to see how big
blockbuster was. I mean,
it's pretty crazy. It's so much a part of my childhood.
And like you would spend every weekend, like getting excited about going to Blockbuster and picking
out what movie you're going to watch. And now there's only one of them left.
Blockbuster was fancy in Hot Springs, though. We went to the junction outside of Mount Pine.
That was an original video. Hometown video. So when we drive all the way into Blockbuster.
I only have a Blockbuster account, but we went to hometown video and got ours. It's about
a third of the size. And we knew the guy working the front. And we ended up being our football coach later.
It's a small town. There you go.
Yeah. And so, but is it mostly about Blogbuster back in the day or about the last one that's in Washington State?
I mean, both. And there's like comedians, some that I don't really know for sure, but they kind of bring them in for commentary and like make little jokes and stuff.
But you know that Blockbuster had a chance to buy Netflix and they passed? Wow.
Big miss there. I sure did. That is such a bummer. And then Netflix was only sending out CDs at the time.
On DVDs. Yes. And so also, whenever Netflix started,
mailing those out, Blockbuster eliminated their late fees.
Because if you turn it in late, you used to get charged a fee.
Well, they were like, okay, we won't charge you.
Keep it, whatever, you're not going to, there's no late fee.
And I think by doing that, they lost $250 million in sales overnight.
Dang.
That's when one of the late fees they were collecting.
And then bombed.
I know, and then it just was like, no point.
Audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is 65%.
What would you give it?
70 something?
No, we do five.
You know how our ratings are going to go?
I did it because they did.
Okay.
I give it, what is that?
Three.
Membership cards.
Out of.
No, not stars.
Amy,
have you ever done this segment with us before?
Have you ever reviewed a movie?
You have to find something in the...
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I give it three Blockbuster membership cards out of five.
There she is.
Can I say one more thing that blew my mind?
It's when Blockbuster was really doing awesome.
They were opening a new store.
every 17 hours.
Wow.
If you were to break it down like that.
Pretty cool.
Pretty popular.
Let me shout out
because in our green room
to comply with CDC
and keeping our guests safe,
HomeMedics sent us a bunch of masks
and PPE
and people coming in and out

Everybody's COVID tested
but also a big shout to HomeDics
for hooking us up
with all the stuff
in that room to make sure
everybody's super safe.
That's how we do it here.
Shout out to them.

Have a great day.
We will see you tomorrow.
Goodbye, friends.
