You know, Eddie sold it his piece of crap? Oh, I saw on Instagram it, like he sold it, yeah.

He put a picture of where it lived. The Red Rocket. Oh, huh, interesting. Is that not what I said? No, it called a piece of crap. Oh, so what it sounded like? Mm-hmm. Oh, I mean, it was.

Yeah, I was. It wasn't running. Oh, it wasn't running at all? No, uh-uh. The last time I moved it was, I think November, and I moved it from the- August 27th. Yeah, and I moved it from the driveway to the front of the house. on the curb.

Okay, so we talked about this maybe on this post show pre-show. I know one of Eddie's neighbors and he came to me and said hey would you ain't get Eddie to move that car? I think he said

quote, piece of crap. Did he? Yeah, because that's what he calls it every time he drives by. Well, what did you get for it? Oh, dude, I think this was God sent, really. Out of nowhere, the guy knocks on my door

and says, hey, you're willing to sell the car? Did you put a sign on it? No, I was just sitting out there. I mean, I guess the paint chipping and all that kind of had the vibe that I wanted to get rid of it. And I told him, I'm like, Well, how about 500?

And it's yours. Take it right now. And he goes, he kind of laughed at me. I'm like, here we go again. And he settled. He's like, 300 is my final offer. I'll take it from you right now.

$300. The last offer I got, Bones, was the dealership, and they said I'll give you $200 for it. So I'm like, $100 more than that? Let's do it. Deal. So how did he get it out of the driveway? So he had a charger, battery charger,

so he jumped it. And he was like, I'm going to risk it. I got my wife with me. I'm going to drive it down the road. and if it breaks down, whatever, no big deal. But it started right up with his chargers. Sad day, though, man. I mean, I've had that car for 10 years.

Sad day. I was watching his answer. He was like, this is where my son put his stickers when he was two. He did. He's had that car. I mean, for most of the time, I've known you. Yeah, for, probably the whole time I've known you. The Red Rocket.

$300. $300, and it drove off, man. I got really sad. Like, really? Are you just kidding? No, I got really sad. And my wife was like, let's go celebrate. Let's take the boys and chip.

We got rid of that piece of crap. I'm like, that's not nice. That's not nice at all. I did a show in Durham, North Carolina. Or as I like to refer to it, because some of the people get upset with me if they live in Raleigh, because I go, the triangle or Raleigh, Durham. I just try to include everybody. So I go, and this girl has me sign her book.

And she said, hey, because people bring books to the show, and I love that. And so I'm writing a note. I said, what's your name? She says, Alexa. I say, man, because she's probably, 27 or 28 said man that's got to suck huh hey I looked at her face and she was like you don't even know

like you don't even know and I felt this bit of real life like I can't even use my name anymore because Alexa is the thing that it's penetrating all the households most of them a lot of people have an Alexa now and I was reading this story about Alexa Alexa became available in 2015

the name Alexa has become less popular because new parents don't want their baby confused with the largest computer engine of voice generated voice of all time. And it keeps dropping significantly year to year. Because who wants to name their kid something that everybody's yelling at a computer? I mean, I was going to name my kid Commodore 64, but then

that computer, you know? It came out. He ruined everything. The little MacBook Pro was going to follow that. Does anybody know why they name that thing, Alexa? Is there a reason, or is it just a name they... What I would assume, this is just me using assumption based on how I would look up a name for something like that, is to find a set

of sounding syllables that roll together that aren't using a lot of other things, meaning there's not Maleksa Jonsta. That's not a word. Falexanun. Alexa doesn't really fall into a lot of words. You can't confuse it with something else. That's what I would think.

Now, you can change Alexa's name too on it. You can go, hey, Alexa, you know, change your name in lunchbox, and you can change her name. Oh, really? Yeah, you can do all. You can change Alexis voice to a British man. I mean, and you can change voices, but I so kind of want to change her name

because I'm so tired around my house. All I hear is Alexa. I don't know that that's the right answer, but I would assume that it's because it sounds different. Like that, whatever the combination is of letters and words, they've had to put tons of research into it. Well, someone looks very smart.

Like, I mean, I believe you because what you're saying makes sense, but I mean, I just never, I always wonder how they come up with names for things. Like, do they all sit around in boardroom and just throw names out there? Like, ooh, let's name it Jackson. I would assume that what they do is a few people say, hey, here's the criteria we need to match, something that people don't say a lot already. And then let's find what names fall in that.

I'm looking on my. screen over here. It says after testing various names, the term, the team landed on a word, Alexa, that used soft vowels and an X, it sounded fairly unique. So I don't know if that's what I said, but kind of it's in the same spectrum of what I was

talking about. It's something you're not saying a lot, so when you do say it, that's really the only thing. If you were just to sit in a living room in my house and listen to me in my bedroom, you'd hear me talking to somebody all the time. It's Alexa. Your bestie. All the time. Hey, what's the weather? Hey, what's it? Like, allergies have been killing me?

And I'm like, hey, what's a pollen count? And she goes, grass pollen's crazy high. Like, I'm into the answer story. You see me talking to her because my allergies have been killing me. And I did Nettipot live last night. Did she tell you to do it? No, she didn't tell me, but a few years ago, I did Nettipot on Instagram on Instagram. Yeah.

Isn't that such a great feeling? But I do it on Instagram live now. And I pour it, you pour it in one nostril and it comes up the other side. And it feels like you're drowning just a little bit. Oh. But I had like, I looked this morning like 20,000 people. have watched me Netty pot. Oh, bored people.

Well, you would think that. But then Amy watches those pimple popper videos. That's true. At first I was doing it just to mean... I'm not the only one. There's millions people. Yeah, so I don't know when you're going to hear this, but for another like 10 hours or so. That... Are you going to Nettipot again tonight?

Probably. I may do another edition of Nettipot Live. I might tune in. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think I have any guests lined out for tonight's Nettipot Live. Tonight on Nettipot Live. Yeah, so yeah, that's a deal. Anything you guys would like to say. We just finished the show. Feel pretty good.

I mean... Yeah. I felt like it was a good show. I had a purifier. I had an air purifier that someone gave me as a gift. And as I was starting to have my allergies, because what happened was they started hitting me late week. And I thought, oh, am I getting sick?

Or am I tired? You can be run down? Or is it allergies? Well, then I left and I went to D.C., or I should call it the DMV. Yes. Maryland, Virginia. D.C., Maryland, Virginia.

And I also call it Raleigh-Durham. The triangle. Just cover all of it. Yeah. It kind of started to go away a little bit, which told me it was allergies. And I came back and they were like, the pollen count. This is why I think about.

I'm older now. So I just think about the pollen count. Happens. And fiber. Oh. Yes. I'm up to six now. Six, a setting.

Is that funny? That's a lot. I take six. Explain. I don't know what that means. I take six fiber capsules in the morning. Oh, my. And I take six fiber capsules at night.

Wow. Next thing you know, you're going to have one of those pill containers. Oh, I would already do Friday. If I could have someone separate them for me, I would already have that. But I'm not going to take the time to do that and then go back and eat the pills too. I go and just eat pills. You're getting old quick. They make little travel divider ones too, so it's easy when you're on the road.

Oh, that's cool. I just have a whole thing in Medamuse. I'll throw in my bag. But I go through a big old. You get it and you go, wow, this metamuse was huge. And then I eat it in like a week. You eat it. Yeah, that's what it feels like.

They don't stop you at the airport with a bunch of those bills? Uh-uh. I keister them in. Oh, do you? It's like reverse. It's not necessary. It's sort of ironic, but not necessary. That's sort of ironic, but not necessary.

That's smuggle them in my butttocks? It is ironic. Well, to keister metamusal. Yeah, yeah. It's ironic and unnecessary, but that's why I do it. That's kind of funny keystering metameter music. I write that down for my stand-up act. Okay.

I guess some credit, though, me and Amy. No, no, I'm the one who... Yeah, but... Just because you mention something and I come up with a funny bit, It doesn't mean you get credit for a joke. Okay, if you guys are at the show and you hear it. But I was already talking about metamusel. I didn't ask for credit.

How cool would that be, though, Amy? But that's the dumbest thing that he would ask for credit for that. Because all he literally, somebody said, do you get trouble with the airport? All I'm saying is that you tell the joke and you're like, Metamusal Keester, and they all start laughing. Oh, thanks Eddie, Amy. They helped me out with that one. That's it. That'd be funny.

We were having a conversation and I was inspired by the conversation that I started about metamusal. And then he's the one that said he put him up his butt. Fine. Which is funny. But you know, he always wants credit. I'd like credit once in a while.

Credit guy. He was taking pictures earlier. I was like, hey, take a picture. And he was like, give me that photo credit? Yeah. He wanted more than one picture. I'm like, I took about 10 of them. You know what your photo credit is your paycheck?

Dang. Photo credit that. You want less photo credit? Hey, dude's got to eat, man. I was saying? Yeah, you eat because you're paycheck. So yeah, you want less paycheck? Oh, Lord.

Oh, man. Oh, boy. Anything else? Oh, man. That would be like so obnoxious of every part of the show that anybody helped inspire come up with.

We all had to be like, I came up with this idea. I came up with this bit brought to you by Lunchbox's brain. Well, that wouldn't be cool if you had to say I came up with that one. It'd be cool if Bobby was like, oh yeah, Amy came up with that.

But sometimes I will. I'll be like, hey, Amy came to you know. Are we a part of your stand-up act? I don't know. I never heard it. Your new one, Red Hoodie. I briefly mentioned you for a second. What do you say?

I talk about buying. I talk about buying your daughter and American girl doll. Okay. Yeah. But not so much you, you, but more of the process of having to Google

something for an 11 year old girl. Oh. Yeah. That's funny. Do you give Amy's daughter credit, though? She didn't do anything. You're talking about her? That's not how it works. Okay, I just wondering.

I only have about, I say, 10 shows left. That's a lot, especially there's not that much of the year left. But it's not. And I've been basically touring standard for two years straight. Yeah, so did you decide if you're going to take 2019 off? I'm not going to.

You're really not because someone you really, like, trust in your circle told you you probably should. And I trusted their opinion for me to listen to it. But I may, I don't know. You got more jokes in you? Wow. Every day this dude comes in telling jokes. I know, but I mean, a different comedy tour every year. It came over the new metamusal.

Boom, like that. Is that the name of the next one? I have a whole metamusel. a couple of bits. Wait, I thought you came up with that one, Eddie. We're over that. He's not going to give me credit. No, you don't deserve credit, you douche. See, there you go. Go home with my head up high now.

By the way, when I call somebody a douche, I don't think it's that bad of a thing. Some people think, not a bad word, but they think it's a really... Inappropriate. I think it's inappropriate. Yeah, I mean some people. Some people think the world's flat. Yeah. Some people think we never went to the moon.

They really do. Yeah. So my thing with douche is, a douche to me isn't a bad person. a douche to me is somebody who thinks they're a little cooler than they are. Like I'm a douche a lot of times. Like I'm super anti-duce sometimes too because I don't think I'm cool at all and sometimes I'm kind of cool.

But sometimes I think I'm way cooler than I am. And that's a douche. A douchebag is somebody who thinks they're way cooler than they are. Not a bad person at all. I have some friends that are huge douchebags that are the best people. Lunchbox. For example, is a douchebag a lot of times. I'm a douchebag a lot of times.

Eddie... My douchey? You just were. You know what I mean? Dang. I don't associate. I don't have a complete negative association with douche. Yeah, but I feel like I use douchy sometimes with girlfriends if, you know, they're talking about a guy and they're wondering if they should date him or something.

And, like, it'll come up like, oh, man, I don't know. I just feel like he's kind of douchey. But let's get down to the root of douche. Let's not. Yes, the origin of the douche. Should we? Because, I mean, hold on. It's actually.

Don't Google it. I know what it is. It's actually a cleansing. I'm not dumb. Yeah. So my, but I'm just tempted when I say it, I don't really feel like, it's definitely. not a positive thing. No, it's not. Okay. But I don't think it's a bad person. I think it's an

un, it's a trait that maybe isn't the most becoming, but I think we're all dushy in certain ways. Okay. And we all do dushy stuff. Oh, I do for sure. Okay. Okay. So douche, under noun, has two definitions. Go ahead. One being a shower of water. Okay. Two, the North American informal definition being an obnoxious person, in parentheses, typically used of a man. Yeah, obnoxious. Yes. I'm with it.

I am a douche. So, douche is showering with water? Cleansing. Yeah. Do you not know what it is? So every morning I doosh. No, you don't. I'm showering with water.

You do, buddy. Every morning. Every morning. I wake up. The first thing I do is I douche. So tomorrow, get out of bed, take a douche. Oh, man. I yawn, get up, oh, and then turn the water on, and I doosh.

Sure. According to your definition. I'm just, that's like the brief, like, okay. Hey, use that one to the comedy. I'd be like, that's from Eddie. I mean, Eddie, there's like parts underneath that that I avoided. Would you like for me to read them to you? No, I'm good.

Okay. Eddie's like, hey, baby, I'll be there at half an hour. I got to get my coffee. I got a douche real quick. I got to hop in the douche. So, Courtney, Amy. That's funny. I mean, sort of Bobby, when you're netty potting, you're douching your notes.

There we go. Okay. That's funny. I'm going to use that on the stream. What? Credit it hurt. Give me credit. But that's a funny thing. That's how a joke will come apart.

So you take that and you, and the joke's not always what's funny. A joke's saying it in a funny way when you're up there by yourself. Because I have some funny, except some hilarious ideas that I say them and I don't say them right and they don't get any laughs.

And then I work on the next time I say I'm a little different. A couple laughs. They go, let me fix it again. Change it. A few laughs. Sometimes you go backward again. And then finally when you get it, you go, oh, that's it.

Sometimes it takes the funny idea doesn't matter. it's how to actually say and where to put the pauses. That's all of that. That's why we'll never get credit, Amy. No, no, that's not good. Timing is so important. Yep. Like the pausing, the timing, the everything.

I mean. Thank you. It's an art. You're talented. Well, no. You could. Nah. Okay.

Okay. All right. Not going to argue with you. My point was I have 10 shows, but I'm doing six shows in Nashville. Oh, so you really have four on the road. Yeah, but I'm doing two a night in Nashville. Like, I do two Saturday night. This is coming up, two in a row.

I'm so bummed. I don't know why I wasn't registering that that was this weekend. I'm going to be gone. I'm so disappointed because I really wanted to come. It's all right. Because otherwise I'm not going to get to see this tour. Well, no, they're not all this weekend, right, Bones? No, two here.

And I'm playing a smaller theater because what happens in the Nashville shows is I go on. I work new material, so a lot of it just doesn't work. And I'm okay with that. Oh, so one of the other two of four this weekend? One of the other two? November. Oh, I'll come to that. Yeah, we have time.

Oh, thank goodness. I was, like, being, like, bummed. But I'll be, I'm doing Little Rock, which I'm pumped about. I guess it's like a road trip to that. Humongous. It's like 2,500 people in that theater. There's a big theater, and it's home. Mm-hmm.

That's sold out, so they're going to be pumped up. I'm really looking forward. I'm really looking forward to that show. Yeah, like, I want, I'm really looking forward to that show. That's exciting. And I never look forward. Do you think, like, some of your friends are going to come from? Yeah, that'd be cool.

They are. You ever seen anyone, anyone, like, perform at that theater? Never. Oh, no, yeah, once as a kid, it was, listen, to go to a theater, I was like, ooh, fancy. We went for a school field trip to watch the symphony. Oh, really? And I was like, holy crap, rich people come in this theater. That's it.

And there you go, you're playing it. And I get to play that theater. That's pretty cool. So, yeah, man, that's exciting. And then I do a show on Muskegan, a show on Iowa, and then Virginia Beach in, in, like, December 1st. So, anyway, who cares about that? But we got to go. Thank you for listening.

We're going to start the show now, and here we go Monday show. And we're going to go. We're going to go. Folks, it's your buddy and my. Mr. Bobby balls. Hey, look at us. We're back again. Everybody good?

Yeah. More studio. Morning. Look at us. All here on a Monday. Amy, hello. Hello. Lunchbox, hello.

Hello. Producer Eddie over on the video. Hello. Hey, man. Ray Moondo, our sound guy. Hello. Morgan number two, running the digital. What's up?

Look at us. All back here. You know, I think we had a moment last week that I don't feel was fully appreciated. What was that? Well, because I was on the road this weekend. I went to D.C. to do some comedy and then Durham, Raleigh Durham. And when Keith Irvin came in, he was talking about being the sound guy for Ben Folds. Oh, yeah.

Really, low-key, one of the coolest, geekiest moments on the show. By the way, Ben Folds is this guy. Hey, Morgan, too, do you know who that is? You ever heard this song? No, I don't like so. You never heard that song? That's good. No.

6 a.m. Day after Christmas. No? No, it's not ringing a bell. When I was in radio back in the day, and I would work the day after Christmas, I would play that at 6 a.m. just to make one person go.

Oh, wow. It's 6 a. Yeah, I would do that. Isn't that funny? Yeah, by the way, it's a sad, sad song. It is. Ben Fulton, my favorite artist, and Keith Urban said,

I did some engineering for him. What do you mean? So, when Ben was, this is in the early 90s, and I was living in this, well, squala house, somehow I got to know Ben through my manager.

and this was been 92, 1992. And Ben was writing songs over here at one of the publishing companies, Sony Tree, I think. And they used to give him the studio late at night to record his demos. And he called me up like 11 o'clock or not. He goes, what are you doing? He said, and just hanging out. He goes, he would come down and press some knobs from me because I need to. So I got my car, drove down.

And he went out and I watched him. He goes, okay, hit record. So hit record. And he played the drums, beginning to end, stops, fills, the whole thing. I'm like, what is going on? And he went grab the bass, and he added the bass. And I'm like, oh, here we go. And then he did piano and then guitar.

And I watched him build his track from the ground up. And it was amazing. So the two parts of the story that are amazing, one, I'm a huge Ben Folds fan. And two, Keith Urban was his sound guy. Like Keith Urban, the awesome legendary Keith Urban was just living in a tiny apartment going, okay, I'll come do anything you need to make a little money. He said that was such a cool story. Yeah, you're right.

Thought about it all weekend. Couldn't stop thinking about it. with it. Oh, yeah. I know. I was even texting Eddie. Remember that time? Yeah. And he was like, yeah, dude. That was like yesterday. I remember that, I remember that, man. Thank you. The Bobby Bones Show. Big Three Stories. It's producer, Ramundo.

That's Idaho. Eddie? Both of you guys need to check it. It's North Dakota. Oh, shoot. You guys are wet, North Dakota. Get out of here. Blackfoot Hills North Dakota.

Is it really? I don't know. I've never been. I've never been to either of Dakota. Well, let me eliminate Eddie. It is not. No. They're not men, I win.

No, you're not. There's no one. It's Idaho. That's where the mountains are. No, that's where potatoes are from. Uh-uh, because that's where that's Wyoming. Jackson Hole is a mountain, right?

No. It's just keep people ski there, I think. The answer is. Idaho. You do ho. Yeah. The answer is Idaho.

South Dakota. And Amy Ways. Easy trivia. There she is. Who's smart. There she is. Five for five, matter of fact. Thank you.

Sit, sit. Man. Take me to fifth grade. You feel bad about that? Yeah, I feel pretty bad. I mean, I guess I just don't understand that a lot of people go all the way to South Dakota for that place. I just, I thought that's where it was in Idaho. I didn't know there's mountains in South Dakota.

Amy's a big winner. The latest from the 32nd Skinny. Eric Church gave another taste of his upcoming album out on October. 5th with the new song Hippie Radio. Carry on my wayward son on a hippie radio. Florida Georgia Line also dropped another song off their upcoming album called Sit and Pretty. I'm going to be a hell of a few. I'm just fine as I'm sitting next to you, seein' pretty.

Reba McIntyre is back for the second year in a row to host CMA Country Christmas. Tickets for the Nashville September 27th taping go on sale today. I'm Morgan number two. That's the Skinny. The phone show. Come on. It's time for the good news. With Amy.

Tell me something good. Starbucks is trying something new, but it's not a fancy coffee drink. This has to do with their employees. They're testing out a new program that will let some workers work 20 hours a week and then spend up to 20 hours a week at a local nonprofit, but they'll still get paid. I saw that. Last week, I love that Starbucks is trying something like this. Yeah.

I don't know how they do this. Neither. And you know what? I don't care. I'll be honest with you. They got lots of money. Good for them. Well, they say when employees are engaged in communities and they feel connected,

they're going to stay with Starbucks longer. Okay. So they're looking for less turnover. Hey, good for them, though. Even if it doesn't work, it's an attempt to figure out something that gives back. Yeah. And all we can look at are people that are trying things. That's awesome.

Good story. Bobid Bones Show. Boney up the day. This story comes to us from Maryland. A 22-year-old man had to go renew his driver's license and take the driver's test. He's like, Mom, I'll borrow the car, I'll be right back. Only problem is he left his gun in there, pounded of marijuana, $15,000 in cash. So when he's on the drive with the lady, she sees the gun, she calls police.

They pull the car over, search it, find the gun, the marijuana, the scale, the $15,000 in cash. Well, and he said, Mom, I have to borrow the car. If he's got all that, why doesn't he have a car, too? Just go on a level deeper. Good point. I mean, still a car. Why not? You know?

Or buy a car if you have $15,000 in cash? Yeah. I'm lunchbox. That's your phone head story of the day. Yeah, a good one. Bobby bones. The Bobby Bone Show. Folks, it's your buddy and mine.

Mr. Bobby Bone. All right, so you feel your husband may be pulling a fast one on you? Yeah. What's happening? It's something a little fishy. Go ahead. So, you know how you said that. guys hang out with other guys doing things like video games or golf or fantasy football to really

bond and that's when they open up and get vulnerable right yeah i think for a guy it's hard to go hey let's just talk yeah we're not taught to do that so what we do is we find something a vehicle like for me video games the buddy yeah and then we play video games and inside of that you start to get comfortable and go hey how's life so that's now the real thing for if you're it's like the cover up for if you're hanging out with the buddy doing something like that it's gonna be a cover up Yeah, what do you mean? Go ahead. Okay, so my husband, though, he's at the golf course every single day. But not to meet a buddy so it can be secretly vulnerable and open up.

Like, he's by himself. And it's like taking a huge chunk. He's walking the course and coming home, like, really tired, blah, blah, blah. So I'm like, this is, you do this to yourself. Like, you're the one going golfing every day. And he said, you know, we could have had that time together or we've got to do this or that. And he said, no, no, no, no, no. This is professional development.

And I said, what? I guess he has like some golf games coming up with, you know, people in his field. And he feels like if he golfs better, that it's going to help him with his career. Love it. That's great. Great. So he needs time out on the course by himself doing professional development. It's almost like he's trying to tell me he's going to the office.

Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I've used this one. Yes, yes, yes. And that like when you're out on the course, that's when deals get done. Okay. And if you're good, then it's better for, you know, the deals.

And, like, you overall representing yourself. It feels like you don't believe him. No, I mean, I believe he's really going to the golf course, but I'm like, you really have to go every single day for however many hours. So what's your question? Like, is that a real thing? Like, is he really going out there? Is he just trying to get out of the house? Or is he trying to really develop a skill so that it's better for him professionally?

I will say both. A little bit, get out of the house. You have two kids, 11-year-old, 8-year-old. This is when they're at school. He's not trying to get away from them. Okay, you got one wife. Exactly. Also, golf is fun.

And yes. Alone? Yes. But it is, actually. If he has people in his professional circle that play golf, that's how you get in with them. And the biggest part of not just closing deals or getting jobs, but the biggest part of anything in life,

professionally, personally, is having people like you. That's it. And if he goes and plays golf and they're able to like each other, that closes the deals. I believe him, because I know your husband too. I believe him. Maybe he can scale back a bit. A bit.

Yeah. Maybe one day we could just do the driving range? No. Let him. How many days a week's playing golf? Oh, wait. He went every single day. Okay.

Well, then say, hey, can we balance this out? Can you do three to four days instead of five? You get a little, he continued. But he's telling the truth. Yeah. I mean, I could go and like, No, you can. Nah, that's not.

Yeah, no. Okay. or I could not. Yeah, I better. That's better. But again, you have to trust that he's not fully using this just to get out of time with you. Yeah. But he is telling the truth.

So it is professional development. Yeah, don't hold him back in his career. That's true. That's true. He's trying to better himself. Okay, I trust y'all's judgment. So if y'all say it is, then it is. Oh, yeah. I feel great.

Work off. More golf. This guy's good. Next days a week. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Bobby Bones. It's a Bobby Bones show.

Lunchbox, what do you have over there? I saw some girl post a big old thing online talking about, oh, my boyfriend and I, we've been together and we're talking about getting engaged and we went and looked at engagement rings. And I offered to pay for half of it. And he was totally offended by this. Would you be offended if your wife said, let me pay for some of that ring? Yeah. She would say, because basically what she's saying is, I don't think you make enough to afford my style and I don't know if you can support me. But the man's role is to be able to support the woman like, hey, I got you, girl.

Do you feel like you support your wife in that, hey, I got you, girl? Yes, because we have separate bank accounts, but I pay for the meals most of the time. Like, we go out to dinner every once in a while she'll pay, but most of the time I pay because, you know why? I bring home the bacon. Would you have a problem if she made more money than you? Yeah. We'd be getting that resume together for her. For a different child that paid less?

You would want her to make less money than you? Absolutely. How would I be able to go to my family or her family and be like, yeah? your daughter makes more than me. Like that'd be a little awkward situation. Why do you go to families and talk about that name? Like if you're, Bobby, let's, hypothetical, Bobby. Let's say you meet a girl.

You're going to get engaged. Let's be real imaginative here. Use your imagination. Think way out there. Yeah. And she said, I want to pay for half my ring. The engagement ring. What do you say?

I would say how important is it to you to pay for half of it? Like, give me a scale here. is if it's below six no it's okay but if it's really if it means a lot to you absolutely if it means a lot to you

I think it's not gonna crush your manly It's not Amy what what amount of manliness I'm just clarifying for lunchbox Yeah no I don't think so I don't think manliness or whatever that term means Yeah true

Is about worth It makes you look like less of a man If your friends find out Oh yeah you let her pay for half They're gonna be like Dude what's wrong with you Like you can't take care of your girl Like come on

That's what they think. That's what people will think about you. What do you think about this, Amy? I mean, I like your approach, Bobby, and the way you put it is how important, because you're taking into consideration if it's important to her. Maybe she just wants to be even with you on it, and that is something that's truly important to you. So I can see you doing that. Now, if it's just so that she can be like... I'm not going to invoice her, right?

Right. It would be like an agreement between the two of you. But what if it was simply so she could have something fancy? and nicer that you legit couldn't afford. If it meant a lot to her, I'm okay with that. Okay. There are times where I'm not going to be able to provide emotionally or physically or financially every need of another human.

Yeah. We have to understand that. We are never 100%. And I have to not have such pride. The pride's a huge thing, especially for men. You have to. Huge. If it were important to her, I'd be fine with it.

Okay. But it's not just about a ring. It's anything. Yeah. If it's something super important, I've got to adjust my experience. of importance. You're very considerate. Well, because I want considerations to my feelings, too. So it's not

this totally unselfish thing. I think that considerations for each other is a big part of a relationship, which will I've been a successful one for zero days. I'm zero days in running here. Okay, so the question is would you let your girl pay for part of the ring? Eddie?

It's tough. I see both sides, but I'm going to go with no. Okay, Ray Mundo, or audio? Yes, but nobody can find. You can call us. Ladies, men, whoever. You want to add this, you can. Our phone numbers, 877-77 Bobby.

Or you can text in to 26-229. Standard message and data rates apply. Text in your response to 26-229. They've got a couple numbers there. Maybe we can actually hear from someone that's already lived this. Like they were in this predicament. They went for it. They went 50-50.

And how has it affected their relationship? if at all. Or maybe not 50-50, maybe. Or whatever. 80 or 20-80. Yeah. He took the 80. Yeah.

We'll talk about that coming up. The Bobby Bones Show. All right, lunchbox set us back up here. So this girl is getting engaged and she was talking to her going to be a fiancé and she said, I want to pay for half the ring online. And he got very offended. So she posted online and said, is this wrong of me to want to pay for half of the ring? There we go. Josh in Oklahoma.

What do you think, bud? I got to say absolutely no, man. That's the one thing. that the guy's surprise her with. Well, I tell you, the surprise thing is going away, too. Where because, again, just for practical reasons, if you picked the wrong ring and she hates it, that's a tough one.

Yeah, but that's when you ask friends and stalk her Pinterest page. Great, but still, I'm saying a lot of people go shopping for rings together. Most people I know now I go shopping for rings together. Girls even know when it's coming, they get manicures, so their photo looks good on Instagram. Oh, boy.

I'm like, are you for real? I was blindsided by mine. My nails looked awful. And, you know, I agree with Josh that, you know, for him, that's the thing that works. But I think a lot of the guys are calling and they're basing it on a sense of pride. Remember, pride's a sin. Just saying. I'm just saying.

Is it? Absolutely. That's not pride. That's right. Don't forget that one. Hey, Rob and Tennessee. Good morning, guys. What do you think, bud?

my wife paid for about 40% of her ring that was about six or seven years ago when we got engaged can ask you this meaning once you get married didn't your money all become you guys's money anyway yeah I mean we it's all our money now and my wife's a stay-at-home mom I married at the time we were both in college and we didn't have we didn't have a lot of money so that's a thing too I mean if you're both broke two broke sequel kind of not broke there is no wrong answer on this by the way I know people are getting a little heated at this. There are a lot of things in this world to get heated about. This phone conversation is not one of them.

There is not a wrong answer on this. So because lunchboxer, Amy, or myself may disagree with your opinion that does not mean that you or we are wrong. Let's go to Amanda in North Carolina. Hey, Amanda. Hey, Bobby. Thank you for calling. What would you like to say? I was just going to say that me and my husband, we actually had to join our money before we got married.

So I guess technically I did kind of pay for my engagement ring. And like you said, once you're married, I mean, your money becomes together anyway. In you guys' case, me, I'm still TBD, folks. I don't know what I'm going to do. I got a girlfriend first before that all starts to happen. But I don't, I mean, I guess, right? Don't you just all put it together? I would assume so.

Lunchbox doesn't. I know, and that's my mentor. Yeah, keep it up. Yeah, lunchbox is my mentor. KIS. Yeah. Thank you for the call. Let me do one more.

Hey, Allie and Missouri, go ahead. Hi. Thank you for calling. What do you want to say? Me and my husband, we were broke whenever we got together also. So we actually went shopping together and financed it. We bought ours together. Let me end on this note.

And, Allie, I'm glad you're on the phone as I closed this segment with this thing. Here, I'm coming from a heart. As long as she's happy, if you're the dude, you're listening, as long as she's happy, who cares? If she's happier chipping in and getting a ring that she really loves and desires, okay, you win. If she's happier being surprised and you taking the traditional approach, okay, you win. As long as she's happy and you're not going way too much in debt for a ring. Like you got a house. You got to pay for a house.

Yeah, let's try not to go in debt for a ring. Yeah, but that's a thing. No, you're going in debt for a ring. Yeah. The end. You just don't go and pay cash for a ring unless it's, you know, a $50 buck ring. Most people are going to get a put on a credit card, getting a, you know, a Zales card or wherever you get your ring. That's what you do.

Or there's financing, yeah, I get it. Okay. All I'm saying is it doesn't matter what you do or where you go as long as it makes you both happy. And that's where we end this. But if you disagree with me, you're wrong. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Ali, how do you feel about that statement, except for the final part? I was kidding.

Yeah, I feel like that's a true statement. Absolutely, don't go in debt hurrying. Yes, and if you're happy, don't worry about whatever else is doing. Don't worry about what tradition says if it's not your tradition or if you want to start a new tradition, right? Yes. That's right. And if you're both broke, don't get even broker. Right.

There you go. Yeah. Thank you, Al. Wait, diamonds are twine. Twine. I pick twine. Oh, you're saying, it doesn't matter if it's diamonds or twine. Oh, I'm going to pick twine.

Yeah, Ryan Hurd, shout out. Or how about tattoo? Bye, Ali. This is such a cool video. Here's a guy playing guitar on a street corner. And he's singing I Don't Want to Miss a Thing by Aerosmith. And Stephen Tyler sees him and goes up to him. And this guy's...

He sees Stephen Tyler walking up as he's starting to sing, so he starts to go, uh, starts to mess with words a little bit. Here's Stephen Tyler getting in there. The guy doesn't know the right guitar chords either. He's totally freaking out. Of course he is. And Stephen Tyler's walked out. And Stephen Tyler, again, this is on the corner of a street.

There are like eight people watching. It's so awesome to sing. And so I'm goosebumps. That's crazy. Yeah, me too. Jessica, are you there? Good morning. Good morning, Jessica.

So here's Jessica. Jessica's been snoozing our whole life. Every day, how many times did you hit that snooze button for the most part? We'll probably say an average of seven, depending on if I change that a lot. On if I change that alarm time. Seven snoozes a morning drives me up the wall. Like it makes my skin it. Amy, you would hit it about how many times?

I mean, my max would be four. But average, let's just say averages too. Okay, so these girls are hitting snooze. Instead of just, yeah, instead of just setting the alarm later and getting that full rest. Right, right, right. They said it earlier and they keep snoozing. Oh, yeah. Like when I would go to bed, I'd be like, oh, I should set it at this time so I can snooze a couple times.

Well, this is your fourth morning show, Jessica, out of five to come on. Have you hit snooze at all over the past four or five days? No. I didn't even over the weekend. And I did have to set my alarm to get up early. And how do you feel right now about all this? I feel great. This morning I definitely noticed the difference and I think the response to my brain.

Like normally I had set myself to, you know, the alarm didn't really mean anything. I feel it really meant something. And so I could just fall back asleep. even this morning, I was able to just lay there and it wasn't like I was falling back to sleep. My brain was like, okay, let's run through the things that we have to do today. Amy, tell me about you? Yeah, the alarm went off this morning and I got right up. It's like, I agree with you about the brain thing.

My brain was just like, okay, alarm went off. Time to get up. Like, there's, you don't even really think of another option. And I, too, this weekend, had to set an alarm both Saturday and Sunday and did not snooze. Which was crazy, because on the weekend, I didn't know if that counted. A lot of listeners were talking to me this weekend. I met a lot of listeners in D.C. and in Raleigh, Durham. And they said, hey, we're doing the snooze challenge, too, and I just feel better.

The first few days, you won't feel better because you're freaking out because there's change. Anytime you change, your brain's not wired to actually go through that process normally. It's going, what's happening? Why is it changing? Well, I can't fully. Once you kind of settle into it, I'm telling you, you'll get the last bit of rest is so important. And then you wake up and you're just ready to go. There's no debating.

you're not sitting there wondering, well, should I get up now? No, you just get up. That's it. It eliminates a thought. No more thoughts. I know. Okay.

It kind of makes me want to just eliminate it from my phone. Like, I wish there was an option I was seeing about this, to where your phone or your alarm didn't even allow you to snooze. Then you'd have any, and you could only set one alarm. So then you literally have no choice. You're so gung-ho right now. Now, White till it's over and you have to report back. Okay, well, I do feel, that's how good I feel,

and I'm super proud of myself. I love it. I'm proud of you too because I know it's and you did it over the weekend too. You didn't snooze. Jessica, one more day. You can do it, right? I could totally do it. And then you guys go back to living your life and we'll see what happens. 21 days to start a new habit. That's what it usually takes. Jessica, we can do it. You can do it. Jessica, I'll talk to you tomorrow. For me, the big trouble has been sleeping with my television off because my whole life I did. And then I stopped and it was really uncomfortable for me for the first four or five days. I haven't been in my house and slept on my TV on in two weeks now, which is a big deal for me.

Yeah. And so... Proud of you for that. It's not even a thing anymore. It's super uncomfortable at first, but it's not a thing anymore. Look at us. I know. When I was a kid, like, I never had a bedroom.

In case you're wondering about the TV thing, I never had a bedroom. So I stopped on the couch my whole life. And so the TV was always on and that was what was comfortable. But I tell you, in my house, I had a friend do some... Pick out some art for me, like paintings and stuff. Because I don't see colors. And so dark colors all look the same to me. So I can't match anything.

I can't even match my clothes. I have to have people in my clothes. match my clothes for me. And it does sound like, oh, you big weenie. But it stinks a little bit to not be able to see colors. Sometimes, and it's embarrassing sometimes too. Yeah. And like all jokes aside, I have one eye that just doesn't work.

They work together. They move. My right eye doesn't work. And I'm really bad colorblind with dark colors. But it's embarrassing sometimes when I can't tell colors. And I have to play it cool and be the jokes here and be like, oh, look at me, I'm colorblind. But so I had a friend who has picked out some, I put on my Insta story.

I got a couple paintings up. Got a red one. That looks good. I mean, they're all copies of things. I don't let's say paintings. No originals? Not like I bought an original Picasso. But it feels good to actually have things in my house, like home things.

Got a couple of like Nashville skyline things. I got an Austin 6th Street painting. This is one of the first times where you're feeling like, okay, I'm committing to this. Like I'm making it home. Yeah. Because I put nothing up in my house at all because I can't tell what it looks like. It can't tell. So, but I had a friend.

It was great. It's great. So that's kind of a big thing for me. Yeah. It looks good. A nice little bit of a good. I haven't yet, no. You haven't? Yeah. I mean... It really does embarrass me a little bit. I guess we sort of take it lightly because you do make jokes about it.

But yeah, when you really think about it, it'd be something... The hardest thing is if someone says, hey, I'm in a blue car, and I walk out and I don't know which car is blue. And there are bigger problems in the world. But I'm just telling you, these are little things. It's like, hey, come on, I'm in the blue car, and I walk out, and they're all blue. Except none of them are. And so I'm like, oh, no. Can you give me a make and model, please?

What's the last three digits of the license plate? It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Well, I love these stories. The college football player earned a full scholarship for his accomplishments off the field. That's the headline, his walk-on player. He plays at the University of Texas.

He's played in only two games. But according to the article, he's shown his teammates a tremendous amount of dedication and has always given 100%. Last week, he was asked to speak at a team-wide meeting about his recent humanitarian trip to Jamaica. And while he was up, and the coaches were like, hey, lead by example and share what you're doing because we think it's good for your teammates

to learn that you're also giving back. While he's doing this, the coaches surprised him. And they said, oh, by the way, you're on full scholarship. Oh, wow. Love it. And he was mobbed with his teammates by his teammates, and he's very thankful for the coaches to do that, which is pretty awesome. That's money, and they only have a certain amount of scholarships.

Yeah. And they recognized him for that. And he thought he was up there doing something else and then bam. And then they got him. Got him with that good stuff. And that's Tell Me Something Good. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobby Bonson.

Here we go. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. It's the 30 Second Skinny. Keith Underwood. Keith Urban brought out Carrie Underwood to sing their duet, The Fighter at his show in Nashville. You know what I liked about Carrie? She just rocked jeans and was like, I'm here.

It's like she had just finished dinner and Keith called her. I was like, hey, Carrie, would you mind stop by a few minutes and sing in a song, and she walks out and just demolishes it like she always does, and then probably goes back to dinner across the street. It's awesome, yeah. That's good. What else you got? Gretchen Wilson acknowledged her recent arrest in a Facebook post. She said she wanted to think her fans for their patience. She can't comment on anything. But to think her fans or think her fans? Think her fans. Wait, what? Like, think them for their patience. Wow, you say thank. It's so funny. I thought she... Or it's her accent. It's not funny. No, it's funny, because my accent's funny.

Okay. You wanted to do what to her fans? Think her fans. Wow. Why, you're saying the same word. Yeah, it's thank. How do you say, I'm thinking about something? Thinking.

She says I'm thinking about something. Okay, so you're thinking, but if you want to say something you would say to someone to appreciate them, you would. Thank you. That's the same word. That's so funny, Morgan number two. What's she say in her statement as she was thinking her fans? That she can't comment on specifics because it's still an open case, but she wants to respect the process. An open case?

What do you think this is? You were fighting over the bathroom. Yeah. Well, I like to thank everybody too for listening this morning. Look at you. That's funny. I'm the one that gets made it fun from my accent. That's funny.

I didn't realize I said it weird. Do you hear it now? Think or think? No, it still sounds normal. Say think. Think? Say think. Think.

Okay, so when you repeat after me, you say it right. Yeah. There you go. Look at you. You already learning. All right, what else? Taylor Swift brought out Tim McGraw and Faith Hill to perform Tim McGraw with Tim McGraw. I think it would be kind of weird for Tim McGraw to sing Tim McGraw.

Yeah. I thought it was cool. When you say me. Hey, Morgan number two, thank you. Thank you. It's a good job. Thank you. Thank you very much.

There you go.

Let's go.

Transmitting across America. This is the Bobby Boll. Over to Amy with the Corny. The Morning Corny. I answered my phone to someone sneezing, and then they hung up. Oh, yeah? Oh, annoying cold callers. Yeah.

That was the morning corny. I like that. That's a good one. Thanks. Hey, Jessica and Austin, how are you? Hi, how are you? I'm good. What's going on?

What do you want to ask? I just want to know. Have you always known you were colorblind? So when I was a kid probably five or six years old, the first time I went to the eye doctor, because I couldn't see anyway. One of my eyes, they called a lazy eye. Now, they still work together, but it just doesn't work. And so I had to wear a patch as a kid.

And they were also like, hey, let's check your colors. And they put this little grid in front of you, and there are all these dots. And apparently all the dots are different colors. Looked to me like a bunch of the same color of dots. Wow. And so I've always not been able to see dark color. any difference. And if you're just turning the show on, I was talking about I had some paintings in my house that had a friend put up for me. And it makes me feel good because I can't match

colors. I don't match them in clothes. I don't match them in really anything. Cars. I don't know. It all look the same to me. So yes. And the people say, hey, you should get the glasses and make your colorblind. But since my eyes don't work anyway, the glasses don't work. Because one eye tries to work and the other one doesn't. So it just makes me sick at my stomach. Could be why I get so motion sick all the time too. I think it plays a part for sure. So, yeah, Jessica, I'm just fully, I can't see very well. Wow.

Well, listen, I'm not, you know, going to write a book on this. I don't think it's that sad. But it does make me feel, and especially when I was a kid, it made me really embarrassed and I'd make a lot of jokes about it. And frankly, it's why I were big, thick glasses is because I thought, well, whatever this quote weakness I have, let me go ahead and highlight it so other people can't. It's called the Eight Mile, where you make fun of yourself so others don't.

at this final scene in eight mile. Yeah. So Weezer was a nerd, Rivers Cuomo, and Buddy Holly was a nerd. I thought they were cool, and I thought, I'm just going to embrace my nerdness, and that's the deal. So, yeah, that's the deal.

Jessica, are you colorblind? No, my husband's colorblind. Yeah, look at us. But he didn't know until he was about 17 or 18. He just kind of always thought the world and looks like that. As did I. And I don't think if one I would have worked, worked all the way I would have ever known either.

See, it's all like black and white. It's all like Andy Griffith episode all the time, except in my eyes. Mayberry? Yeah. Always, Aunt B. It's all I see, Aunt B walking on everywhere. Hey, thank you for the call. I appreciate you listening.

All right, thanks. All right, bye. That's good. Hey, let's go over to Maddie and Maryland. Hey, Maddie. Hi, Bobby. Hi, Amy. Hi, hi, everybody.

Everybody say hi. Hey. Don't be rude to our guest. Everybody say hi. Come on. Hey, Maddie, did you come to my Washington, D.C. Comedy show? I did. I did. And I just wanted to call you really quick and tell you that, first of all, Mike D.

you were so funny and I got to meet you. And I just think that you're the sweetest thing ever. And then Lauren Dusky was so good. Yeah, she's my middle act, Lauren Dusky from the voice. And yeah, she's really good. Yeah. Yeah, my friend Marissa and I, when she kind of had a moment of like a breakdown moment because she was singing that song about her grandmother, we were like I looked at her and were just crying and sobbing. like, this is not what I was expecting. But it was so good. And then when you came on, obviously, you're so funny. Oh, thanks.

I mean, I know when I listen to the show all the time, but you were so funny and you had us rolling. And it was, we kind of went all over the spectrum of emotions. But, yeah, and then we actually waited after and met you and you signed our books. And it was really cool because you're just so genuine and you really wanted to take a second with everybody and just talk to them and get to know where they're from and their name. and kind of like, and you let us have like a tidbit of like, hey, this is why I listen. And I just thought that that was so cool.

And I was so nervous and I'm such an awkward turtle. So meeting you was like really, really scary, but you made it not scary at all. Like you were awesome. Well, thanks. I appreciate that. Listen, we all in this room know that we don't get to do the show without you listening. We know it. Like all that we get to do here is because of anyone that spends their morning with us.

And I feel like I represent our listener. Like I'm trying to get up and. I'm trying to do stuff and I'm trying to learn where I'm going, but me knowing where I'm going means to remember where I come from. So I'm just trying to represent everybody else out there. I'm your ambassador. That's what I think. You know, I'm the awkward guy that's ambasseting for all the other awkward folks out there.

You know what I mean, Maddie? Represent. I totally know what you mean, and I appreciate that. I need an awkward ambassador. Well, thank you very much. And not only that, when I do finally run for office, I expect all your votes. That's the catch. That's the catch.

That's right. Like, I'm in. You're from a small town. from a small town. You're awkward, I'm awkward. I'm representing you. Thanks, Maddie. Thanks for hanging out and saying hello and for the nice words. Hey, look you there. Tyler, Missouri. What's up, bud? All right, what's going on? Man, just hanging out. What do you want to ask?

I just wanted to know when Lunchbox was going to post pictures of his little one for us listeners to see. That's right. I wonder that. Amy wonders that. The whole world wonders that. Now time for A. Baby Box Update. When are we going to see a picture of that baby? Well, ladies and gentlemen, the wait will be over. Oh, this is the announcement? On Wednesday. What?

Yes. Wednesday is his actual due date when he was supposed to come into this world. And so my wife and I have been talking about it, and she's been going through pictures trying to find the perfect one, like, ooh, I want to show a good picture. And so we decided Wednesday would be an appropriate day because that was the actual day he was supposed to make his entrances, into the world, into our lives.

And so Wednesday, he will make our entrance, his interest into social media, into your lives. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. Have you already created him an Instagram account? What? Or are you going to create him an Instagram account? No, why would I create him his own?

Oh, parents do that. You don't even have to use it yet, but you get his name and you see if it's available and you save it. Yeah, there's a whole story in the news today about how parents are picking baby names based on the domain being a for Instagram or socials. Are you serious? Here, listen to this.

Research suggests young parents are choosing unique domain friendly names. It means their child will be able to have a self-named website when they're older and also for socials. That is incredible. But here's the thing, lunch, what you can do is without even using it, you can reserve it and just kind of park it in case you do want it or... I have two Instagrams for my kids. They don't use it, but they're... Really? I know it sounds nutty, but that's actually a valuable thing.

I would love to own the Bobby Bones, Instagram, and Twitter account. I don't. And I got on the things way early. I think I was a little ahead of the curve with social media. Oh, you totally were. I was just talking to myself out there. I was like tweet, hello, hello. Yeah, but some kid in Alabama was ahead of you.

Virginia. Oh, Virginia. Yeah. And he has at Bobby Bones, and I don't have it. That's so crazy. So I have Mr. Bobby Bones, and I hate that name. He barely posts. Because I'm not a mister.

I don't think I'm a mister to people. I'm not official. You're just Bobby. I'm not, yeah, who cares about me? I just wish I had at Bobby Bones, but yeah, man, dude, I would just grab the familiar ones. But by the way, back to the point at hand. Yeah, the point at hand is he's, get ready, world, he's going to come out on Wednesday. That's awesome.

Tyler asking, you shall receive. I appreciate that. We're really excited lunch. We listen to a show every single day, and we're looking forward to seeing it. Tyler, what are you doing today, bud? I am working this morning. Yeah, you're working right now? Nope, nope.

I am getting ready, getting my morning coffee, and start here in about 40 minutes. Well, listen, I appreciate you listening, and thanks for calling, bud. I appreciate you. Oh, I appreciate you. I always love it when people say it back, because that means it's the thing. It's catching on. When I go on stage, I always tell people I say, I appreciate you, and the whole crowd goes, you!

Like, my comedy shows, I like that. It's pretty cool. That always makes me feel pretty good. That's awesome. What I have here is the saddest number one songs of all time. Let's see how many of these that you know. At number five on the list. And this is the algorithm streaming for the number one saddest songs in history.

Number five is Still from the Commodores. Do you recognize that voice, Elaine? Do I? Yeah. Yeah. Still. Because I don't really know that song that well, but that is Lionel Richie singing for the Commodore. Okay, now I hear it.

Number four is Mr. Custer from Larry Verne, 1960. I don't know. Please, Mr. Custer. Sounds like the ice cream. It sounds like Mr. Custer's ice custard. Number three, here's one we know. Are you lonesome tonight? Are you lonesome tonight?

So good. Still good, right? Yes. Do you miss me tonight? The Commodore's three times the lady at number two. Listen, this is the language. Yeah, L'Anell. And then number one, these songs are all old, but...

The first time... Roberto Flack. Ever I saw your... So no contemporary one, so what I wanted to do is list you mine. These are my favorite saddest songs ever. Man, you tell me your favorite sad song and you don't talk about whiskey lullaby. You're out of your mind. You're out of...

This is... He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger. I love this Brad Paisley song. I get chills here in this song every time. Life is short, but this time it was bigger than the strength he had to get up off his knees. His best work, even. Wow. We found him with his face down in the pillow.

Allison Krauss in that too, just makes it sound perfect. That's for me. That's it. And then the dance from Garth. How sad are better left doom james. I could have missed the pain. How sad is this amazing piece of three and a half minute awesomeness? And the song almost transcends sadness where it's just a great song.

But once you get back into it, you realize why it's great because it's so freaking sad. And it's like, I'm going to go and do this last dance, even though I might have to go away. And I could have missed all this pain. But then I had to miss this moment and I'd rather have this moment and have it. Oh, are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? I'm so sad right now. I just want to go home.

And then John Mayer slow dancing in a burning room. Relationships ending. At this point, we're just slow dancing in a burning room. Dude. I had a sad morning this morning anyway. I can tell you in a minute. And then everybody hurts from R.E.M., which is always my course. Yeah.

Everybody hurt. Those are my favorite sad songs. And you know, just my favorite songs. I love sad songs. Like, sad songs are your happy songs. Sad songs, I just feel. Sad songs make me feel and I'm happy when I feel in any way at all.

Like any, you know, I like them. I like feeling. What are you guys? Your favorite sad songs, Amy? I went with Coldplay Fix You. So good. So I always thought this song was, just caused some sort of emotion in me.

And then when I learned that Chris Martin wrote it about Gwyneth Paltrow's dad dying, and like she just came home to him crying and so sad. And he was like, I'm going to try to fix you. I love it. I know. You know why I think sad songs resonate is because you have to be very vulnerable to share a sad story. Anybody can be happy. It's hard to be happy, but we all can be happy.

We can even almost fake happy. But man, if you can be sad and you can actually share, an authentic sadness, like these songs are doing, there is a relation that happens with words with another person's story where you just kind of feel that. You just feel that. Like, I don't know going to the Padraultra's dad, but when he sings that I think of all the ways that I wish someone would help me. I'd like to be there for someone. Like, let me be there. Let's move God. Come on. That's it. Let's go over to Eddie. Eddie, what's your favorite sad song?

When Johnny Cash died, they released this music video for Hurt. And man, I cried and cried. You're telling me, man. Because the music video is just flashing his whole life, this whole career from young Johnny to old Johnny and just watching him kind of get older and then he's gone. And so this was a 9-inch-Nell song. And Johnny Cash cut it. And I think you won a Grammy for it too. What have I become my sweetest friend? That's good.

Lunchbox, you have one? Oh, yeah. This one rips you up, though. Stand by M&M. You know? Like, it is so sad. Like, when you listen to the words, like, it's emotional. I can't, all I can do is say, I think.

Like, just listen how raw this is. Dude, I love Stan. Anyways, I hope you get this, man. Except it's a fiction. Yeah, I think it's a great selection. And it has lasted at the test of time where people now go, hey, I stand that. Which means I'm obsessed with that. It's all based on this song.

Because it's about a fan that's writing letters Eminem and then the fan drives off and kills himself. Yes. Man, hers. Anyways, I hope you get this, man. Hit me back. Just the chat. It's all of yours. The biggest fan.

This is Stan. Karen Fairchild from Little Big Town, put something up on Instagram, and I was right. I wrote, I hope you're on you back. Your biggest fan, this is Stan. And I don't know if anybody even knew what I was talking about.

Did she get it? I don't know. I have no idea. I don't wish to check that out. But it was like last week before. Anyways, I hope you get... Why did this song touch you lunchbox? Man, it's just like

someone can care that much. And then when it's like, I'm going to drive it off the bridge. It's like, oh man, dude. Like, I didn't know you would loving that? Like, that is like, how do you love something that much that you're willing to drive off the bridge just because they didn't sign your poster, man? Got them. That's true.

That's true. That's what touches you. That's right. We all get touching different ways. Some of us not at all. There you go. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show.

Hey, how about this? Amy's son learned something at school, right? You felt wasn't good for the house. Yeah, I'm assuming you picked it up from someone at school. Yeah? Yeah. Mm-hmm. And I'm like, yeah.

We don't do that, buddy. So what happened? Well, he came home and was like, Mom, what's this finger mean? Oh, no. That's how we brought it up? Yeah. That's so funny. He just was like real nonchalant about it, and he straight up, like, pointed that finger, y'all, the middle finger, in the air.

And he was like, what's this finger mean? And I was like, okay, buddy. Well, first of all, it's not a nice gesture. And then with my kids just now learning English, it's the whole thing. What's gesture mean? And I'm like, well, when you use your hands to motion something, what's motion mean? I'm like, oh my gosh, it's like a rabbit hole trying to explain. So really, we just concluded with we don't do that.

Let's not do that. And then so he starts holding up all the other fingers like, what about if I do this finger? And then this finger, like his pinky and his, you know, and then like, you know, hook them horns or I love you or whatever, those things. So we just kind of went through, you can do all those hand signals, but just not that one. So he came home and said, what's this finger mean? Yes. Yeah. That's a great question.

Straight up. Isn't it funny, though, too, how if you just travel 5,000 miles, that finger means nothing. Oh, is that right? Oh, really? I thought it was universal. Me too. You go to a different culture, and the middle finger means nothing. Different hand gestures mean different things.

Oh. Or just eating dinner in some cultures. Like, you eat, in America, we don't burp or fart. But if you don't burp at some dinner tables afterwards, a sign of disrespect because you didn't enjoy the food. Wow. It's just where you are geographically in the culture that you're taught. Those, even words, even, for example, the F word, which I don't curse in my real life. But that sound, just those sounds put together here means of the bad.

But you go to somewhere they're speaking in French or German. And unless they know the English version of it, those sounds together mean nothing. It's just where you live in the culture that raised you. So what's this finger mean, Amy, really, though? I'm always fascinated with words and how. a sound a few miles away doesn't mean the same thing to somebody else

you know good or bad so does he get to do it at all can you do the finger like this finger here the ring finger no we don't yeah I was like just don't do that and don't act like you're doing that because if you do that to someone it's not nice just like you wouldn't want to say something

and then I tried to explain it simply for him like you know would you ever call someone a bad name is that nice and he said no that's not nice I said well exactly so let's not do this gesture. I did a photo shoot where, and you tell me what you think, I did a photo shoot once, because for some reason, I have this reputation as being like the bad boy radio, which I'm not. I'm just me, but I'm not a bad boy. And they're like, hey, do middle fingers. And I'm like, I don't do middle fingers. Like, I don't flip people off. What? And I said, well, what if I do my

ring fingers? And so I did my fingers with my hands up, but I did my ring fingers up instead. But even then I feel uncomfortable putting that out. Yeah, that's weird looking and awkward. I could see that. Yeah. Not even because that's weird because it's too close to it. But is that, is that But I thought it was funny that it's like I'm not really a bad boy, but I'm just almost bad. Yeah. So where is that picture? It's in my computer. I've never posted it before.

Because I just feel weird. I don't flip people off. I don't curse. Right. I'm such a bad boy, right? Yeah. It's like, hey, bad boy. I don't drink.

Yeah, so how do you fall into that bad boy cat? What are your characteristics that make it bad? It's just I've done radio my own way. You push the limits? The limits of what's been acceptable, not any sort of obscenity or. Right. You're not blue. But I'm not talking about dirty. You have to think when we came over here, how we did a radio show with normal people that love country music, but listen to all other kinds of music, and we put hip hop on and we talk about things.

People are like, that'll never last. No, every show is doing it. But at the time when I came, it was like, oh, you're not supposed to do this. You're the bad boy. I'm like, no, I'm the normal person. Like, this is why people will, at least for now, listen to our show is because we represent them. Like, we're a normal person. and so that made me a bad boy. I'm not. Yeah.

You're really not. I'm not. I don't claim to be. You're not. No. I don't claim to be. I've done things different my whole life, but at a necessity more so than, oh, I'm going to show them. That's all. So do I do this finger?

What's the finger mean? That doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean anything. If I hold up the ring fingers. It means you want to get married. Oh, is that what I mean? Put a ring on it. What do you think about that, Morgan, number two?

If I went like this to end, just did my ring finger up. It looks like you're flipping me off. That's right. You think I'm a bad boy. But really, I'm just begging for someone to marry me. It's the whole thing. Three injured after a teen steals an ambulance from a Rhode Island fire station and crashes. Here's the thing about this story.

I would kind of understand if you get an ambulance that's sitting out running. Like, I wouldn't do it. But if there's an ambulance just chilling and the keys are in it, I'd be more prone to walk up and go, oh, it's available. If I were an ambulance stealer. I wouldn't go into an actual. fire station and still one? What kind of psychopath does that? That's crazy. A teenager, it's more of like a joyride thing, right? I know, but you get in the joy ride if it's just sitting there. A lunchbox, you feeling me on this? Oh, it sounds so fun to get in an ambulance

and turn on the sirens and just woo-woo, it would be awesome. But would you ever go into no, because aren't the firefighters in there? Like, how do you get away with that? Three people were injured after a teenage boy stole an ambulance. Yeah, and a firefighter jumped on and tried to stop the vehicle. He was only 13. Wow. I thought it'd be like 16 or 17. He was only 13 years old. Video released show the police department and the 13 year old

running to the garage bay. He drives the ambulance out of the garage, striking a police cruiser and driving across the street. Listen, luckily, nobody got seriously injured. But I was just thinking about that going. Listen, I wouldn't steal anything anyway. But I'm more of a, if an opportunity presents itself, maybe I do it kind of guy.

Right. Perfect time would be in a hospital when they had just dropped a patient off because they run in and they leave it sitting out there in the little driveway. That's when you could take it. The wedding traditions that are dying at death, how modern couples are shunning rings, shared names, and even bridesmaids. So all these millennials are changing things.

And new research says that they are taking their husband's name still some, but they're also putting their name on as a hyphen. A lot of them are. And some of them, they're just keeping their own name. And I said before, I have no problem with that. Yeah, you just have to figure out what you're going to do with your kids. Keep them? No.

When you start having kids, then if you keep your own, I guess you just hyphenate for the kids. Or they just all get my name. Hey. Exactly. Now you're talking. That's really the key part. No, I'm just saying if she wanted to keep her name, I have no problem with that. And then we probably, you know, if we have two kids, we do dibs.

One and one. You can name the first one. I'll name the second one. Those are your kids have different last name. James. That's not going to be confusing at all. Yeah, yeah. His and her rings are becoming a thing in the past. Speeches from best men are becoming a thing of the past.

Those speeches, they're never that good anyway. Oh, no. They're always kind of embarrassing. Why? Because they usually get up in their drunk. Oh, sure. Say stuff they're not supposed to say. They just go on and on and on and on.

But, yeah, if you're in a drunk, Gretchen Wilson posted a message. Oh. On her Facebook, about her airport dilemma. Her arrest? Yeah. She didn't share any details since she said it's still an open investigation. But she said, I like to thank my fans for their patience. For what?

They're just waiting. You just had to fight with somebody over a bathroom over the pooper on an airplane. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. There was a big old traffic jam out in L.A. on the 105. There was a tanker truck that caught on fire so people were stuck for hours just sitting there, not moving. There was a food truck on the highway and said, you know what, we might as well just open up and start giving away food.

Oh, wow. Right on the highway, they opened up and started giving away britos. Like, if you're going to be stuck in traffic, might as well have some breakfast. Love that one. That was Tell Me Something Good. Folks, it's your buddy and my-Mr. Bobby Bone. Amy has an eight-year-old son. He comes home and goes, hey, Mom, what's his finger mean?

And he shows her with the middle finger. So that was a whole conversation. And a little bit you had to laugh. Oh, yeah. I mean, I was like, yes, of course. Just trying to explain it to him, too, is comical. I just hope he really doesn't do it to people. Jennifer, North Carolina.

Hi. Hey, so what did your... What did your... You have a little cousin? Is that what it is? Yes. So, when we were both younger, she learned the D word from hearing it somewhere. And she said it, and she was told, you know, no, that's a bad word.

You can't say that word. and about five minutes later she's sitting in the living room rocking back and forth singing it changing the tone you know just singing that word and that word only

in different like sing song sounds and she was you know she was reprimanded again and she's like I wasn't saying it I was singing a song about it great point great point

my goodness yeah great point that's funny hey Demi a Tennessee C. How are you? Good. How are you? Good. What do you think about this? It's pretty funny because kids pick up everything that they hear and you don't really think about it until you hear them say something that they've learned. My two and a half year old said it in the back of the car. What do you say what word? I mean don't say the word, but what's it

start with? It is a D word. Okay, D word. Got it. And he said it and knew how to use it in a sentence because he learned it from his great grandmother who has road rage. Oh. So then what happens? What do you tell them? You have to laugh because it's a two-year-old, and I tried to say it while not laughing, and that's not a good word. And then he also said it at daycare,

and his daycare teacher contacted me and said that he was saying it in school. Man, what a... That's funny. Thank you for the call. But it's hard not to laugh, right? Like, really you want to laugh. It is because you hear them say it, And it's funny because they're two and a half years old,

but then you have to catch yourself from laughing because you have to teach them not to say it, even though it's hilarious. Little kids doing anything adult is funny. Even saying bad words, but you can't. You can't do it. There you go. Thank you for the call.

I appreciate you. Man, you know what today is? Because we talked about it earlier in the show. It's Big Day in Country Music history. The Bobby Bones Show. On This Day in Country Music. And you know what they call me? Yeah, country music's youngest historian.

On this day in 1990, Garth Brooks, puts out possibly the greatest record of all time. Songs like unanswered prayers. Friends in Low Plays. Thunder rolls. Two of a kind working on a full house. Eddie, can you name that record? No fences.

No fences, it's correct. Not a boy. 1990. This is Gart's biggest record ever, like 17 million albums sold. And Garth is the greatest. Yes, he is. Arguably, in my mind, I'm a Garth guy. Amy's a George Strait guy.

All the way. But I love Garth. We can respectfully. Yes. And if you would ask Garth, he would say George Strait. Well, George is the king bones. Yeah, but Garth is the greatest. Yeah.

You know, exactly. Well, I know you feel passionately about that, but I did, I, I, if you were to, oh, man, but a Garthbrook's concert is so good. It's so good. It's so good. But, I mean, I'd probably choose George all the way. No offenses is Garthbrook's bestselling studio album, 17 million copies. By the way, just before we.

get into this. Garth Brooks is the best-selling solo artist of all time. Not in country, and all solo artists surpassing Elvis. Amazing. 148 million albums sold. Garth Brooks, the guy who gave me the chair that I'm saying in. Yes. Yeah. He comes in this studio. I love that guy. Okay, so here's what we're going to do. We're going to play blind karaoke to Garth Brooks songs from this record. It came out in 1990. It came out on this day in 1990. So those four songs are in the hat. And who wants to go first? Lunchbox? Oh, yeah.

You want to start off with the best. That's fine. Now, blind karaoke means you don't have the words in front of you. You go for about a minute and a half and you see how good you do. We rate you on that. Oh, boy. What do you have? Thunder rolls.

That felt good Dang Your words were from from all other verses. Oh, okay, okay. But much like America, it's the perfect melting pot. Yes. I like all the words from all the places in the same spot.

It's a strong performance. Thanks, Bones. Yeah. Good job. Blind karaoke. I had to think back way back on that one. Amy, you have two songs left. Okay.

You have the ballad, unanswered prayers, which meant. That's really in your wheelhouse, vocally. It is. Or, friends in low places. Are you ready? Draw one of the two, Amy. I'm nervous. I'm not going to be able to think of like the first line.

There you go. And you have? Unanswered prayers. Okay. Do you want Eddie to point you in? I think I... Oh, she's got it. I can feel it or you can...

No, no, you get it. Go with your heart. Okay. Go with your heart. Here we go. Blind karaoke. Amy has no words in front of her. She can't see them.

Are you ready? Yes. Unanswered prayers. Just the other night. at a hometown football game my wife and I ran into my old high school flame and as I introduced her

the past came back to me and I couldn't help but wander the things they couldn't be just the other night I hope to help My wife and I went into My old high school plane And as I introduced

The past came back to me And I couldn't help but think of The way things could have been Okay, here we go Sometimes I thank God For on answer prayers. Remember when you're talking

to the man upstairs. And just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Because of God's greatest gifts. Yeah. A run answer prayers. Oh, wow. Wow.

Wow. Wow. I got to say, here's what I enjoy about that. What's the second part of that? Don't worry about it. Here's what I enjoyed about that, Ann. It's that you got pretty close to getting the first verse completely right. Yeah.

And when you realize you didn't know the second verse, you just changed the key of the first verse. It's okay. It's saying it again. And in real life, no one would even notice. You just commit to it. I really want to put emphasis on that football game. Yeah, definitely. I felt the football game.

I was feeling the football game. But what really happens? Because tell me if you trigger my memory, would I be able to know it? Yeah. She was the one. I wanted for all times. And each night I'd spend praying That God would make her mind

And if he'd only grant me The wish I'd wish back then I'd never ask for anything again That's second verse Sometimes I think God But you're right It's my wheelhouse It's your wheelhouse

Well I do have to award someone The championship I think you've all done Amy you did great Thank you It's tough though to compete When you have a slow song And you don't nail it nail it

Yeah, I forgot. We're picking a winner here. And I didn't have weather sound effects because that was amazing. That's true. And Lunchbox, I thought your weather sound effects were fantastic. Yes. Yes. And you knew almost none of the words, but you kept on.

Oh, I got 3.30 in the morning. That part you didn't know. That's right. That's right. That's part you didn't know. And Eddie, the best singer of the group. Yeah, thank you. And you did know most of the words, too.

The passion was there. So all of you guys, you definitely get a clap. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All that clap. All that clap. All that. All right. Who gets the biggest clap with the ball.

If I have to pick a winner for, if I have to pick a winner, Amy's not it. Oh, yeah. I know, I know, it's down the tune. It's you and me, lunchbox. If I have to pick a winner. Come on, baby. Come on, baby. Lunchbox is the winner.

Yeah! Fantastic job, though. Wow, wow. I was watching TV this morning before we came on the air. So I was against about 4 o'clock, and I just found myself crying. And I don't cry. when celebrities die. But with John McCain,

oh, wow, yeah. I don't even know. Like, I never met John McCain. But, and again, I don't cry when celebrities die because I didn't really know them. Celebrities seem to be this almost fairy tale on television, good or bad. They're either a hero or a villain,

and you can't touch them, so they just don't seem attainable or real. But John McCain was such a hero, and I had tears in my face this morning sitting in my bed working on the show and I just laid my computer down and I watched them talk and I watched a lot over this weekend

but it really hit me this morning and I got off stage I had been doing comedy in Durham, Raleigh Durham and it got off and had a great show and then they said he had passed away and he had, you know, his wife and I just announced

they took him off support support yeah and so I just... So hard I know I keep thinking of his wife and Megan, his daughter and all the family I mean, this guy personifies what a hero is and was. And I'll read you some of the stuff here.

By the way, public memorial services for Senator McCain are set. He will lie in the state of the Arizona State Capitol on Wednesday, which is his birthday from 1 to 8 p.m. And then there will be a memorial service at North Phoenix Baptist Church. He will then lie in state at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Friday. visitors will be able to pay the respects to the longtime senator from 2 to 8 p.m. that day. On Saturday, a private national memorial service will happen at the Washington National Cathedral at 10 a.m. He'll be laid to rest at the U.S. Naval Academy Cemetery in Annapolis, Maryland. And he has asked President's Obama and President's George W. Bush to speak and give eulogies.

I love that. Yeah, man. And I'm watching it. And I didn't know the guy. but man what a hero in so many ways I mean he was flying they shot him down he was held in a PLW camp

for years they found out that his dad and you may have heard the story by now but they found out that his dad was a big deal and so they said oh we can release you but he knew that would be for propaganda purposes so he didn't leave the POW camp he said I'll be the last one to go

yeah let all the it's so for years Which is pretty amazing. Because other guys wouldn't get let go. I would be like, let me out. Figo fail me now. I know. I'm out. I feel the same way too.

But. His captor soon learned he was the son of a high-ranking officer in the U.S. Navy and repeatedly offered him early release. But McCain refused, not wanting to violate the military code of conduct and knowing that the North Vietnamese would use his release as a powerful piece of propaganda. He served in the military from 1958 to 1981. From 67 to 70s. He was shot down and captured by North Vietnamese forces.

He was held as a POW for more than five years. He was shot down, first of all, shot down. And then he was a POW for more than five years. And then came out of that and gave his life for our country again. Again, not just once fighting for us. He then came and served us. And so, yeah, man. I'm getting a little choked up. I'm not talking about it, which is crazy. I'm not the guy that cries about people they don't even know, but he was such a hero.

His military credits, three bronze stars, two Purple Hearts, two Legion of Merit Awards, a silver star, and the Distinguished Flying Cross. There's this clip that was on the internet where he was running for office back in. I believe it was 2008, and someone in the crowd said, hey, I don't trust Barack Obama. I think they referred to him as an Arab, and John McCain's like, Whoa. And this is, even though he was a competition, it was a competition. They were running against each other. Yeah, he could have used that to his advantage. Absolutely.

Absolutely. I got to ask you a question. I don't not believe in, I can't trust Obama. I have read about him and he's not, he's an Arab. He is not. No man. No man. No man.

He's a, he's a decent family man, man, citizen that I, I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues. And that's what this campaign is all about. He's not. I mean, we don't see that anymore. Mm-mm. We don't see that right now. The decency, yeah.

Yep, we don't see it now. And anyone that you hear say that Senator McCain was not a hero, they're absolutely 100% incorrect. So rest in peace and, you know, what a great life he lived for all of us. Serving? Just serving. and fighting for us and then again

serving us so yeah man I mean know what else to say if there is anything else to say yeah Amy you did a good job with that lunchbox I love that clip too incredible

I mean he's like a definition of a hero yeah yeah yeah yeah and I love that he asked Obama and George W Bush I love when I see even though it's in times of sadness, I wish it was more so in times of just all the time,

seeing different sides unite, and it's showing people you can work together, we can be together on this, but really when it comes to, yeah, if you're fighting for something in the political side, you kind of just have your stance and you work for it, but doesn't mean you have to hate each other and all other aspects of life.

That is not the current culture. No, I know, but maybe this can, you know, shed light on that, and people can be like, oh, wow, look at those people, coming together. They really don't hate each other. You know, Obama and George O'B. Bush don't hate each other. John McCain and other Democrats don't, I just don't see them genuinely hating each other. The beautiful thing about our country is you can disagree, but you can work through disagreement. You don't have to agree on things in order to be civil.

Yeah. And we're into this super polarization now. Rest of peace, John McCain, you were a real hero to us and to many others that come for many, many years to come. Hey, I guess I want to talk about dumb injuries for a second because, and feel free to call us, there's a woman she was out, I believe it was her wedding reception. Yep. And she's dancing and she breaks her feet and her ankles

and all the things, right? Yeah, she hurt herself pretty bad. Both feet. Broken bones. I think sprained ankle. I'm not sure all the details. What about that? Like you go, it's party time, baby. You just got married. Click, click, boom, boom, snap, pop, pop. Yeah, things were all great for newlyweds, they just got married. They were partying it up when they're dancing.

She jumped a little too high for her high heels, fractured a left foot, broke bones and her right foot. And she was like, well, I just kind of kept dancing for a bit. Now she's in two casts. We're talking about dumb injuries. Well, you're really not doing anything to even get injured, but you get hurt because this moment she's dancing after her wedding at the reception, and she breaks both ankles, tears some ligaments. All she was trying to do is a freaking macarena. And there she has it. She's in heels. And so how you dumbly injured yourself and what made me think about it was.

So I played, I did a stand-up show in D.C. And it was this humongous, amazing, beautiful theater called the Warner Theater. And it was the third time I had sold it out. So it gave me a skateboard. And the skateboard has a hoodie on it and it says third sellout. That's cool. I'm never going to write it because I will do what she did and tear all the muscles. I love it.

I'm going to put it up in my office because it's really cool. It says red hoodie tour. But I made me think, like, if I get on that, all my ACLs and MCLs and GCLs, they're They're all gone. They're all gone. All the CLs are gone. Hey, you're on the air, Katie and Virginia. Thanks for calling. Thanks. What would you like to say? I had a dumb injury. I was trying to open my closet door one evening, middle of the night, and it got jammed. And so I was pulling on a real hard. The porcelain door knob broke off in my finger and severed an artery in my finger. Oh. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. We all just made noises for like six seconds. Gr. Ah, Katie, you're good now? Everything come out all right?

It did. It did. Eventually, yeah. I remember going to the hospital and the driver was so freaked out. I had to turn the hazard lights on with my toe. Man. I appreciate that call. That makes me feel uncomfortable.

Oh. Carly in Ohio. Good morning. Hi, Bobby. Hello. What would you like to say? I go to Belmont, and it was rush week for Greek life. And I had done one stair.

shattered my entire left foot and had to have it reconstructed this past January. He's fell down a stair just chilling, just walking. This one, walking back to my door. One stair? One stair, not stairs, one stair. One stair. Oh, man. So like a step.

I had a friend who stepped off a curb and tore his Achilles. Oh my gosh. It's like dropping your cell phone. Our body's like the cell phone. Like I can take my cell phone and drop it over and over again and nothing's going to happen. But if one inch, if I drop it one inch from the ground, just the right way. it all shatters. Yeah.

High school football participation falls for another year in a row. More students are participating in high school sports, but for the second straight year, there's a huge dip, and for many years in a row it's been dipping for football. And I was a huge football player, like played all sports, baseball, football. I guess all of them would be too. But still, we had two sports. We had a basketball team too, I guess.

But I was a big football player. taught me adversity, it taught me teamwork, it taught me hard work. I don't know that I would let a kid because we're learning about brain injuries now, and it's just now starting to come out. We're learning more now in the past two years than the past 60 years combined. If I would let a kid play from the hitting on the head and the brain rattling around and everyone getting CTE from it, if I would let him do that. Lunchbox, you have a son now.

Yeah. Would you let him play football? I'd let him play football. I just feel like he's not going to play long enough where he's going to get the CTE. I know they say it starts in kids, but I figure they'll play a couple years, and he'll move on to something else. Yeah, my husband said he'll let our son play. And I'm like, what? The manly thing to do is let your kid play football.

The smart thing to do is to research what happens when your skull hits another skull and your brain shakes in your head. And then make your decision based on that. Not just on what society's been telling you is manly. Do you hear that husband? No, no, no. Then if you want to do it, fine. We're talking about how you get injured in a really dumb way. because they gave me a skateboard at my last show because it was another cell out, which was really great.

And I'm never going to ride it because I'll tear all the muscles, but I'm going to keep it. That'd be cool. And then this woman's dancing at a wedding. Her wedding. Yeah, and she just rips all of her ankles and tendons. She jumped a little too high in her high heels. Hey, Amber and Kentucky, you're on. Hi, Bobby.

What's up? Tell me something here. So in high school, it was late at night. I got ready for bed, and I realized I forgot something in my car. Well, it had just finished raining. I opened the door, and the way that I had gotten into the car was really dumb. I put my foot on the edge of the door, flip, and fall straight on my bum, and crack my tailbone. Oh.

I mean, you can laugh a little now, right? Just a little. I mean, taking a donut hole to high school, wasn't embarrassed to. Oh, no. Once playing high school football, I, like I was a wimp, right? Was a wimp and a wimp. Let's make no... I'm a wimp.

I'd hurt my neck. I got hit really hard. And I hurt my neck and I had to wear a neck brace to school for about a week and a half and they called me Myrtle the Turtle. Have you ever told you guys this story? I've heard of Myrtle the Turtle.

Everybody at Mounted by night school. Oh, look, it's Myrtle the Turtle. And I had this huge neck brace and I couldn't turn my head so I turned my whole shoulder like this. Come on. Yeah. And you'd have to still go to practice.

So you go stand and watch practice. Oh, you would go stand there with your... I'd have to. Oh, Murtle the Turtle on the sidelines. I felt pretty dumb there though. Hillary, our phone screener. She answers the phones. if you call the show by any chance, she'll be the one that says hello to you.

Our 25-year-old phone screener, she answers when you call the show, Hillary. Hillary went to watch Keith Urban this weekend. How was it? It was probably the best show I've ever been to. Really? It was awesome. I say really like I don't believe that. I believe that. Keith Urban does a fantastic live show. So you have, what do you have here, a list of your favorite moments? I have my top five moments from the Keith Urban show. Okay. I did not get to go. I wanted to go, but I was out of town working.

So number five, I'm going to live vicariously through you, number five. All right. He performed one of my all-time favorite songs, Stupid Boy, and he did it acoustically, and it was really cool to hear him do an acoustic song because the show is so high energy. Here you go. Oh, this is just a song. So he did it broken down. Yeah.

Sorry, I thought that was a clip from the show. All right, what else? The TSU marching band actually showed up at the end. They performed wasted time with him. TSU as in Tennessee State University. Is this it? Yeah. A literal clip?

Does he sing or they just do it like this all the time? They did this for a little bit and then he came in and sang towards the end. That's going to be a thrill for the marching band, right? Oh, yeah. Are you kidding? Does he singing this clip? Not in this one. They just did the marching band.

All right, what else? Cassie Ashton, she came and performed Drop Top with him. Yeah, and I'll tell you, this Cassie Ashton, I think, is the biggest unknown star in country music, period right now. There are two of them. Cassie Ashton and Teneal Towns. who I look at and go, okay, it's not a matter of if they're going to be stars, it's when are they going to become stars. They're both so good.

Remember these names. Cassie Ashton and Tenil Towns. And she sings a hook in Drop Top from Keith Urban. She loves dropping with a drop top down. I'll play some of this. On trees fading with a drop top down. On trees fading like a summer flame. Crystals on the dash.

Everybody's saying. Are we ever going to get to her part, or are we just playing the Keith Thurban part? Who put these clips in? Come on, you're killing me here. We just trust that she comes along in the song at some point. And she definitely is amazing. And what else? Number two, Nicole Kinman and Reese Witherspoon showed up on the stage.

No audio for that, but it was just really awesome to see both of them on the stage together. I was seeing that all over Instagram and I had such a promo. That you weren't there? I wasn't there. Or they were another friend. All of the above? Yeah? Yeah.

What else? And then Carrie Underwood, she came and sang The Fighter with Keith. Well, I wish I could have won. Did Lark and Poe opened that show? They didn't, but they came and sang a song with him, and they were awesome. I never heard of him before. They're awesome, yeah. Well, thank you.

Hillary, I appreciate you. Shearing her Keith Urban experience, which I wish I would have got to go. You didn't go to any of the shows in town, huh? No. Like Beyonce was there? All our friends went to be on today said it was awesome. Keith Urban was Friday night. And everybody went and said it was awesome.

And then Taylor Swift was Saturday night. So amazing. And everybody went and said it was awesome. Journey and Def Leppard. When? Saturday night too. 20 years ago Saturday night? No, Saturday night.

Oh, oh. Who went to that? No one. Oh, okay. Yeah, we're like so lame. I was working. I was working too. Where were you working Saturday night?

Taking my daughter's hair out on Friday night and getting her hair done on Saturday night. That's not working. Yeah, that's working. I can't leave her. Like, yeah, taking her braids out is work. 100%. Yes, you're right.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So I was checking out Bloomberg on Twitter, and they were posting something about 24-7 meat vending machines becoming more popular. So it's, well, I mean, it's refrigerated. But think about it. Sometimes you may just really want to cook a steak, but you don't have it.

Well, with these vending machines that I was of grocery stores, you could go up, pick which kind of cut you meat you want, put it in the vending machine, put your money in, boom, out pops your meat. Why can you just go to the 10 foot more into the store? I'm saying if the store isn't open. I don't know why they would become popular, but you just saw it was a thing. Like, grilled steaks, 24-7, go to your meat vending machine. Speaking of you and food, I was watching that, what's the name, Nile de Grasse-T Tyson?

Oh, yeah. Is that how you say his name? What's the name? Oh, yes. The astrophysicist. Yeah, and he was talking about microwaves and how safe they are. How there's absolutely nothing to the fact that they take away nutrients from your food. I found it crazy that he felt comfortable using the word how safe they are.

Okay, but he's an astrocyptychist. I use the astrophysicist. Whatever. And I'm sure he has a lot of credentials. But, you know, I'm still. Amy doesn't have a microwave in her house. She will not have one. She doesn't let her husband have one.

He wants one. Someone gave him a free one. They gave it away. All I'm saying is if he's saying it, you're good. What else you got? I feel like he should focus on what he's good at. Oh, boy. JK, JK, JK.

He's really smart. So, hey, Bobby, being funny is a sign of a higher IQ, which, duh, me know that you're funny. Or lots of pain from your childhood. Funny people have higher levels of general and verbal intelligence. Not only that, this is the part I wanted to share with you, but being funny is also linked to having more dating success. Well, that's statistically an average. accurate. Both men and women are attracted to a person who is funnier. Yeah. Here's the thing. Women go, I just want a guy that's funny. But what they do is they forget to mention that part in parentheses where they go, I just want a guy who is parenthesis, good looking, well off, parentheses end, and funny. Yeah. Yeah, but you had your funny DM moment with that girl and you were funny and then she was funny and then we don't. Yeah. Now we don't know the rest. But the funny continue?

There's been an update, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Are you going to tell us one day? I'll tell you now kind of. Because again, I don't want to get to sharing. too much because I kill everything. It's not fair to Yeah, it's not fair to her. And I don't want to get but we've moved in a direction of at least considering getting together. What are I going to do though? Yeah. Well, I don't, Bobby. I don't even know how to go on dance anymore. Try dinner.

Do you even, I know, I know. Do you even pick up, hey, Morgan number two, you're 24. Let me ask you this. Do you, do people still pick up people on dates or do you just meet up now? I don't think it's bad for you to pick her up. I think that's a good idea. And it's not there. But I just wonder, it's, because psycho killers. Yeah. But I feel like y'all had a mutual friend already so she can sort of trust you.

If it was like a straight up online thing, then it's probably smart to meet. I never met her though. That's the thing. Isn't that of things? I never met her. I just only stalked her. I mean, looked at her Instagram.

Stocked her. That's what you do nowadays, right? Yeah, it's not even stalking. It's called normal. Yeah. Yeah. What else is in? Okay.

So there's an app called tip yourself and it allows you to put money in your tip jar. Anytime you do something that you're proud of yourself for, like going to the gym, avoiding an impulse buy, or making coffee at home instead of buying it, then you can transfer money to your little tip yourself account and watch that accumulate. So it's tip yourself.com if you want to check it out. Yeah, until you just spend it. I got enough over in this account, I'll go spend it. Yeah.

I don't think that's silly. Unless it's locked away, people are going to use it. Like if you tip yourself and you can't get it out until January 1st of next year, you just spend it as soon as it gets to $4. Well, you could at least wait until it got to 40. Okay. Is that it for you? I'm saying it could be good for some people. And yes, I'm Amy. That's my pal. What are you thinking about my chain still? I'm not going to lie. You were wearing, oh,

yesterday. I saw you yesterday. And you had it on with like a black t-shirt. And I was feeling it. I was like, okay, he actually is starting to pull off the chain, which is kind of funny. Because at the beginning, I was like, Bobby, take that off. And now I like it. Well, so here's what happens. Like one of my buddies is Ryan Hurd and he wears cool things Ryan Hurd is a songwriter artist in town He actually wrote Sunrise, Sunset for Luke Bryant Did he really? He did? Didn't know that.

And so he wears a chain and he looks awesome And I thought I'd like to look awesome So I put on a chain and it didn't look so awesome I'll be honest with you And I've been wearing it every day People look at me funny because I'm not a chain guy I'm not cool enough, I'm nerdy But I've been wearing it

I even posted a picture of me at the pool I jumped in my pool for a few minutes yesterday and I'm wearing the chain in the picture and I'm like, chain it at 100%. So you shower in it? If you're taking it off, you just straight chain it all the time. I shower in it. I don't know what you're supposed to do. I think it's a good chain to where you can. You can just keep it on, like

women keep some of their jewelry on all the time. Between that and my belly button piercing, I leave it all in. Oh my gosh. If you... All right. Thank you, Amy for that. That was Amy's pile of stories. The Bobby Bones show.

I appreciate you being here. go back and listen to the whole show. Just search Bobby Bone Show On Demand on IHeart Radio. If you missed any of the 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock hour or wherever you can listen to the show, I hear all of it, including Amy's snooze partner.

They both were on day four of not hitting the snooze, both just chronic snooze alarmers. Amy, what's going on with you today? Flying to Austin. Oh yeah, you're going to see your dad. Yeah. It's my turn to take a shift, take care of him, but he's doing pretty great.

We can't be left alone, and he has 14. kids total, so we're all on rotation to go fly down there and be with them. None of us live near him, so it's kind of like we take a week here, a week there, a week there, and we all rotate. And how's he doing? He's doing really good. He had throat

cancer and he had to go through the surgery and he was in the hospital for months instead of a few days. Almost 60 days, yeah. Wow. So where do you go now, though? Now he's at home, but there's a nurse that comes there to make sure everything's good because he still has the trache in his throat, still has feeding tube.

And then hopefully, we have some appointments this week that I got to take him to where we'll find out his radiation schedule. So hopefully we'll start that super soon and then once radiation is done he can have all that stuff removed. Oh wow good. Yeah. So about six weeks of radiation. And also you'll still be on the show. Oh yeah. I'll be working from case 101. So what are you doing? One of my really good friends is off of maternity leave and so I'm going to go after the show leaves and have coffee with her. She's been, you know, babying it up for the last few months. That's cool. And so we're going to talk about some work stuff but actually just kind of catch up. So I'm going to do that right
