Welcome to Friday show. Gammaura Studio. Morning. Today's going to be awesome because Heath Sanders is coming in to play later. Heath is an oil fill worker from Arkansas.

He just put a video of him singing on the internet. I played it on the air and said, hey dude, if you will drive to Nashville, I will let you come in and sing a song and have an expert panel coming in today too to hear him and tell him if he's ready

or if he should keep practicing. That's later on this morning. I think that's going to be cool. Recognizing people doing cool things. It's ICU. He grew his hair out for over two years. He's eight years old now. His name is Tate Morgan.

He cut his hair and donated it to the children with hair loss, a nonprofit that makes wigs for children with cancer. That's amazing. You know, it is amazing. And he's only eight years old. And I'd like to take a second and shine it over on lunchbox for a second, too. Because he grew his hair out and donated it. Very true.

Yeah, locks a love. And I never got my certificate, but it's really cool that someone got to use my hair for a wig. Did you grow it out for that reason specifically? No, it was a bet. My roommate at the time, bet me $1,000 I wouldn't grow up for a year without getting a cut. Did I ever know this? Amy, I didn't know that I thought he grew it out for the charity.

I swear to you, I thought he grew it out for the charity. Me too. I don't think you've ever confessed to this until now, have you? Because I legit thought you did it for locks of last straight up. And I was like shining the light and I see you onto him. I didn't know that he didn't either. How do you hold on to this for this many years? You want to know the worst part of the story?

He got a girl pregnant and he ended up never paying me a dime. That's awesome. Well, I mean, you donated the hair for real. Yeah, no, I don't know. Because you're saying you never got a certificate, so now I don't even know if you donated it. Right, no, no, I donated. I put it in a bag and sent it off. I filled out the form, everything, mailed it off, and they said they would send me a form, but they never sent me like a...

He probably mailed it to the wrong place. Some guy named Chuck got a bag. hair. Okay. Listen, I just want to say to Tate Morgan, you're awesome, you're 8 years old. And in lunchbox it was still awesome.

I don't care why Adid's done as long as it gets done. Yeah, true. You're right. But until now, I thought he grew his whole hair for Locke's love. 100%, me too.

And this was years ago. And then he also never got paid because his buddy got a girl pregnant. Who knew? Oh, man. I got robbed. Who knew?

Okay, Tate Morgan, I see you. I see you. The Bobby Bone Show. Big Three Stories. It's producer Raymond in Florida. The Parkland School's armed security guard has stepped down as it emerged. He stayed outside the school during the attack. The 54-year-old resigned when he was told he's going to be suspended without pay.

In the South and Midwest, floodwaters have killed at least three people. Hundreds have had to flee their homes. And the Coast Guard is heading there to save stranded families. In the Olympics, Norway leads with 35 total medals And the USA is in fourth place with 21 total medals You know how everybody says 50% of all marriages In a divorce That's what they've been saying forever

Factual or not I don't think it's factual I don't know where they got it Factual for sure I know half my friends got divorced The US census says The real number is about 31% of all marriages end

and divorce. Not 50. So sometimes how I look at it is not my friends, but us is, I think of my peers and if their parents are still together.

Take us in this room like whose parents are still together. Mine aren't, weren't. So no, that's very, Amy. Mine got divorced. Eddie?

Still together. Lunchbox? Going strong, like a lot of years, 54 years. Morgan number two? Still together. Still together. Wow. 60% are still together. Wow.

That's pretty right on, Amy, with this. So yeah, next time someone says 50% of all marriages and a divorce say that's inaccurate, actually the U.S. Census says 31% as of 2017. And they'll go, what? And they won't even challenge you. Yeah, because you said you're quoting the U.S. Census. Yeah, if you just say the word U.S. Census, people are good. They'll believe you. Yeah, yeah. Time for your positivity. Let's go around the road.

room. Everybody has a good news story. Let's go. Amy, give me that good news. Shout out to Robbie Robinson, who lives in Florida. He found a bank bag full of cash in the middle of the road. He could have just taken off with it, but he realized which bank it was and he took it to a branch of that bank. And they were able to locate who the cash belonged to. Then it got put on social media and they got to interact through the Facebook thread and thank each other. It was really cool. Wow. lunchbox, did you taking that money back?

No chance. Cash money is not traceable. Wow. Lunchbox, your story. There's this cop. He gets a call that there's someone in a frozen pond had fallen in. He's the first one to arrive on the scene. The only problem is cop doesn't really know how to swim.

He's like, what am I going to do? My job is to serve and protect. He jumped in, grabs the man, and somehow doggy paddles to safety, gets the man to the shore and waits for help. Wow. Serve and protect. Okay, listen to this. I got this story handed to me and I go, that name's familiar.

Because I know people on the B team that tweet me all the time. Amy, this girl tweets me all the time who I'm reading this story about. I just recognize her name from Twitter. A San Francisco woman who lost her wedding and engagement ring while traveling said the lost items were hand delivered to her by a United Airlines pilot. She tweeted that she lost her wedding ring and diamond engagement ring while traveling from New York. York to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The rings are found by a United Airlines gate agent. Put them in a safe and then hand delivered them to her and a note congratulating her on

her wedding. Wow. And I sat in this room and I said, hey, does anyone know Britt Morin? And everybody goes, no, no, no. And why? I just looked her up. I just know her from Twitter. She follows me on Twitter.

That's amazing. She follows me too. Yeah, I'm telling you she's a show listener. This is crazy. This is crazy. Small world. Hey, Britt. Hey, Britt.

What up? Glad you got you got you. your ring back. Holy cow. Okay, well, there's your good news. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones Show. Around the room, the last thing you bought on Amazon. You can either pull your page up, you can go for your memory. But the last thing when you got online, we're like, what'd you buy? I got it. Everybody knows? Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. Amy? Vital proteins, collagen protein. What's that for? It's a collagen protein mix. It's tasteless. I throw it in stuff.

I'm just trying to get extra protein here and there. Here's an example. I could make spaghetti squash with pasta sauce, and I can mix this stuff in the pasta sauce. It doesn't taste like anything, but it adds protein to my meal because I don't really eat a big old thing of meat right now. Yeah, true. You don't eat a big old thing of meat.

I went to Amy's house, and she was making nachos. Oh, yes. Vegan. Oh, yeah. I know. Oh, boy. So she gets these chips that are pretty good, but they're totally healthy.

and then it's all vegan stuff. They're not made of like real corn. No, and even kind of look like meat. And she even goes, hey, check this out. This is some kind of plant-based buffalo wing. And I'm like, there's not such things as a plant-based buffalo wing. And I eat it. It's tempe.

What a fraud. Oh, it was awful. No. Isn't that bad? It was. It was like a leaf covered in buffalo salt. And here's ranch dressing made of grass. It was terrible.

Basically. Grass juice. Haters. I thought I had a nice little spread going on there. thing you bought from Amazon Lunchbox? I bought the 7-1 mandolin slicer and chopper. It offers the functionality of multiple kitchen tools with seven interchangeable cutting blades.

Free up some space on your countertop and use just one easy kitchen gadgets. Are they painting it? It is. It is awesome. I'm telling you what? You should do endorsement for them. I know.

It will change your life because I use blue apron. You've got to chop a lot of vegetables. It takes me hours. Are they giving you blaper free yet again? I'm back in. I told him. I demanded that you get it free again. Thank you. And I am terrible at chopping vegetables. It takes me hour. So I just stick it on this thing.

Bap! Done in ten seconds. You have to hit the table so hard. You know our studio's old. Sorry. Eddie. Oh, I got replacement hockey pucks for the boys' Air Hockey table because they've already lost. It came with two and they lost them both. So that was the last thing I ordered.

Our digital girl, Morgan number two, what do you have? The last thing I bought was a silk robe. I've always wanted a robe, really. Bad just because. Go ahead. What color? It's black. I just always wanted to be a little Victoria's Secret model when I get around.

tired of just drink of water, but if there's a little splash of dessert in there, it tastes good. Bobby Bones Show. Boney up the day. This story comes to us from Odessa, Texas. A 36-year-old man went to Target to get a new bike but decided, I don't want to pay for it, so he got on the bike, rode it right out of the store.

Only problem is, got hit by a car in the parking lot? Oh, no. He forgot to look both ways, so police came and arrested him. Oh, no. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. So your husband was watching the Olympics with your kids.

Yeah. Did they get it? Because they're from Haiti. No, they don't. They've never seen the Olympics before. But they're trying to get it. And my husband's explaining, we've got it on and snow. So we're telling them all about snow and skiing.

And we want to take them to Colorado. We've got family there. And then all of a sudden, and my husband starts going Uncle Rico on them. Oh, reliving old childhood sports memories? Yes, because his dad was in the Air Force. He was stationed in Alaska. And that allowed my husband to ski six days out of the week.

And he is good. I'll give him that. He's really, really good. And he starts to tell them, they're obsessed with the downhill skiing because they think it's just so cool. They're going so fast. And they're like, whoa, look at that. And he's like, yeah, you know dad can do that.

I do that. He tells them that he does that. Yes, he goes downhill skiing fast. That's one of my specialties. Really, really good. And I'm thinking, okay, but to the level of an Olympian. And so I start questioning. He says, yes, absolutely. Had we not moved away from Alaska because his dad got stationed somewhere else,

he's like, I could have easily been in the Olympics. He's telling them this. Telling them this. So now they think, they're like, whoa, really? Dad, you can do that? and he's convincing them that, yes, he can ski at that level and that had he not moved, he could have been an Olympian. And do you step in and laugh?

Well, I don't want to ruin his... They are, I am looking at it and they are now looking at him like super cool. He can do what they're doing on TV. So I just... Yeah, I laugh. I don't say, I don't, like, shame him or make him feel bad or make him not look cool.

I just kind of go along with it, but it was Uncle Rico. No. Privately, did you poke him about it? I was like, there's no way you're going to be an Olympian. Are you kidding me? He's like, you've seen me out there. You know, I'm that good? Is he that good now?

He's, like, he's shockingly good. You wouldn't look at him and think, oh, advanced skiing skills, but he's pretty good. How long did he live in Alaska for like more than five years? Yes. They lived there for quite a long time. And then they, his family, they all like to ski, like every Christmas. That's what they, because they were used to skiing. I've never been snow skiing.

I don't like the cold. I don't like snow. I don't even know what I like. Yeah. Yeah, well, then you shouldn't go to it. And you're terrified of breaking things. Oh, for sure. That's ACL gone.

I just don't know which one. It's like, which ACL am I going to tear? Well, we'll continue watching the Olympics. There's that mean that's going around that says they need to put a random normal person at each Olympic event so you can see what a normal person does versus an Olympian. Oh, that's funny. So you know how really fast the person is. Yes, hilarious.

Thank you. Like if you were to put lunchbox out there. Oh, boy. And have him do the skiing and shooting at the same time, and you see how fast someone normal does it. That would be funny, right? Yes. Obviously, they're not going to do that.

They're all serious. The Olympics, with their medals, their countries. It blew my mind yesterday talking to Scotty McCrary because that line in the song, Lost 18 to 9. Just the coach in me after wing. Lost 8 to 9. Okay.

What he says is lost state 10 to 9. I've been thinking about it nonstop for 24 hours. So here's, if you missed the interview with Scott & McCreary. Did you really lose this football game, 18 to 9? Or did rhyme. Well, it did rhyme. And, dude, there's so much about that verse. I get asked about it every day.

It's really lost state, like the state championship 10 to 9. My senior year, my football team did lose a state championship. But I played baseball. Is it 10 to 9 or 18 to 9? It's 10 to 9. If you go to AZLyrics.com, it's 18 to 9. nine, but if you ask the guy who wrote it, it's lost 8 to 9. I can't stop thinking about that.

I've spent 24 hours. State 10 to 9. Yeah. But when you say, I lost 18 to 9, a lot. Just the coach. I hear it now that he said that. Oh, yes, yeah. But I never did.

And, pf, mind blown. So I just want to get that in my system. Now I'm going to be listening for that. Now you'll hear it, but, oh. Two-thirds of moms hide the good snacks from their kids and significant other. Amy. Hide the good ones. Yeah, so there's a secret stash of food somewhere, and your kids don't know where it is,

and your husband don't know where it is, but you do, true or false. Oh, I guess, no, I don't really do that. Chips, candy, no, the kids are the ones eating them. I want the kids to eat those. I don't want to eat it. If anything, you've got to hide it from me. Fruit, nuts, popcorn, that your husband and kids don't know where that is? No.

Everything's out and about in our house. You're such a cool mom. No, I got to say, it's probably pretty boring. When Eddie's kids came over, I felt so bad because they were like, they were kind of hungry and they wanted a snack. And I was like, do you want an apple? They're like, no, where the candy's at? Kit, Ken. My voice is a little raspy today because I didn't get a ton of sleep because we played a show at the Bluebird last night.

But I was singing Chick-fil-A last night. I hit from The Raging Idiots. I think I might have blown my voice singing like an angel. Oh, yeah, of course. What took you there? What note? Well, all of it, because it's pretty high anyway. Oh.

Because, you know, I want Chick-fil-A, but it's Sunday in that room. And I was really feeling it. Because they were so good last night. It was the best people I've ever been surrounded with musically. Just sitting and around. Like, that was Christian Bush from Sugar Land, Hunter Hayes, and Larkin' Po. And I'll talk about that later, but I think I might have injured a vocal cord. And I might go on workers' comp.

Oh. Because I was doing something for work, for charity. True. I was crushed in Chick-fil-A last night on Sunday. Someone asked me earlier to play the Chick-fil-A song, so it's for you guys. Oh, chick-fil-A, but it's Sunday. Want the fries that I made a waffle. But now I'm feeling awful.

I won't Chick-fil-A, but it's Sunday. Yeah, the one day that you aren't open is the one day that I was hoping to get Chick-fil-A. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's that part right there. But the one day, oh, and last night, I felt, you know how athlete it goes? I felt my ACL, just go, boom.

I think I felt the old ACL throat cord goes, boom, pop. Yeah. And it was late. Could be it. I hung out and talked to listeners all night last night until 12.30 a.m. Oh, my goodness.

Whatever the time is after, or normally awake, I was up all night. And I get about solid three hours. Solid. So, yeah, I'm loopy. It's lucky us. Woo!

Lobby bones. Last night I just didn't want to shake hands with anybody because somebody's got the flu. You're just playing numbers at this point. And if you touch 10 people, one of them probably have the flu. So I'm only going knuckles. And it's awkward when someone reaches out their hand wide open for a good old hearty hand shake. And you're like, ooh, fist. Yeah, not today.

Yeah. So I'm just trying to avoid the flu. Here are five myths about the flu that everybody should stop believing. Because you all believe in it. I know you guys are. One, myth one, the flu isn't a serious illness because it is. Last year, 34 million Americans got the flu. 700,000 were hospitalized and 56,000 died of the flu last year.

What? 56,000 people died. What, no way. Yeah, so, and the people that are really susceptible are young and really old. But still, you'll see stories about some people where they get it and they can't get rid of it and it gets worse. Number two. The myth is, a healthy lifestyle will protect you against the flu. I mean, it won't hurt, but washing your hands, eating right, all that are little parts of it.

But it's everywhere, and you can't wash your hands every second. I've tried. I wanted to demand in my next contract, a sink right next to me in the studio. But no, I mean, it's so everywhere. You just have to be cognizant of your hands because they're always touching things and your face, your eyes, your nose. So you're going to touch the germs, just don't touch them to your face. Try not to put them in your hole. Because they get on your hands and you have to be.

to avoid your holes. The next one is, hey, if you get sick, just take medicine. The flu is a viral infection. There's nothing you can do but maybe help the symptoms a bit. You can't get rid of it. It has to run its course and your body has to rebuild back up and treat it. Fight it. Another one.

Flu shots can give you the flu. Not. It's not possible to catch the flu from a flu shot. It is true. Some people feel sick right after they get the vaccine, but it's either because they're having a bad reaction or they already caught the virus and weren't showing symptoms when they got vaccinated. So the next time somebody says, you don't get the flu shot because they get the flu, get right in their face and grab them by the collar go fake news.

I'm angry I get about this. And then the last myth is it's too late to get vaccinated. It's not. It can end in February, but this year they say it could go to April or so. Oh my goodness. Oh, no. This year is just all year. This year, it's flu year.

Yeah, yeah. I think Nostradamus back in 1600 said, We'd for the year of 2018. The year known as the influenza year. He called it. Yeah. You ever watch the Nostradama stuff? No.

Read about it. So back in the early days, this dude, psychic. I don't believe in psychics. Soothsayer, fortune teller. And he predicted all these things. But they were so generic. Men in purple will take the rain. A major building will fall.

And so people will start assigning things to it. Oh, 9-11. Oh, Saddam Hussein. Oh. And you look at it and go, oh, okay, maybe you. But again, it's so, and people just live by that stuff. So do you believe that this guy is? No, no, no, I don't.

Here's the thing. I don't believe in psychics because I need to be able to see some sort of data and proof. However, I just wouldn't ever say that it's not real. Because how can I prove it's not? I don't believe in it. It's like aliens. I don't think there's to me flying right above us, but you're not going to convince me it's not. there's so many things we've never even been close to.

We have no idea the limits. At one time they thought the earth ended 20 miles away. They couldn't even understand the fact that there was something 10,000 miles away. Yeah, and they thought it was flat. Some people still do. Carri Irving?

Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah, you're right. Yeah, yeah, he's still like, yeah, flat. Get your bones on the Bobby Bones show. What an exciting day to date. Because coming up about an hour or so, Heath Sanders. You probably never heard of him a country, it's a country artist,

but maybe if you're working the oil fields of Arkansas, you're like, oh, my buddy Heath. Yeah, true. Because I found him on Facebook, and he played. I was like, dude, you got to come in a plate. Today he's driving up to play. This is Heath right here, playing at home on a guitar. So that's just Facebook audio, but I invited him in, and we have a great panel. One of them, Christian Bush from Sugar Land is coming up.

Awesome. So. I cannot wait for this. We have the heavy hitters coming in. Awesome. Just to not say you're going to Hollywood, but to say, hey, I think there's something, or I'm going to give you some advice. Constructive criticism? Maybe not even criticism.

Just, hey, this is what you should do. Okay. Yeah, so that's happening today. Over to Amy now with the skinny. Bobby Boneshow. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny. So it's Friday.

We got some new music out today. Casey Musgraves actually releasing two songs, Butterflies and Space Cowboy from her upcoming album. Golden Hour, which is space cowboy. It's good to hear Casey with new music again. You know, what else? Cole Swindell releasing his new song today, which we've been playing every hour, and it's called Breakup in the End. You know, I like the song.

Sweet song. Yeah, it is very sweet. But it's called Breakup in the End. It sounds like Breaking Wind to me. Every time, yeah, every time. And I'm not even being funny. That's the kid in you. I guess so.

I guess I'm still young a heart. And then Brandon Ray has a song called Small Talking. I'm done with Small Talking. I like that. Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, this is pretty cool, about to give away its 100 millionth book. So Dolly out making a difference in a lot of kids' lives. So since this is a milestone, she's going to donate the book directly to the Library of Congress. And it'll go down next Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

And you can check it out live on Facebook. That's amazing. A hundred million books. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds getting. Bobby Bones, everybody. Transmitting across America. This is a Bobby Ball show.

Come on, Bob. I'm going to play that new Coleswindell song in just one second as part of the world premiere day. But. The Morning Corny. Why did Cinderella get kicked off the baseball team? Why did Cinderella get kicked off the baseball team? Why did Cinderella get? kicked off the baseball team.

Because she ran from the ball. You don't get it? Isn't that that good? She ran from the ball? Like the dance. Like the ball. Yeah, yeah, cool. That was the morning corny.

Is that a Disney movie? Yeah. Okay, it's a bit lost. I mean, I don't think I've ever seen a Disney movie. Wait. You never seen Cinderella? Oh, you've never seen. Homemark.

I roughly know the story, but I don't think I've ever seen Disney. I've never seen Lion King. Okay, hold on. Cinderella in the shoe. I know the story. but I don't think I've ever seen it. So no, I mean, I got it's a joke. At midnight, you turn to the movie.

The movie's fantastic. You should watch it. I'm not. I have too much real live homework right now. Oh, man. But we don't watch movies. Your joke was probably better than I gave you credit for, is my point.

In about an hour, this guy Heath, who drove up from Arkansas, I worked in the oil fields, he just put a video on Facebook. I saw and said, hey, come play on the show. So I brought up a panel on Reto's coming up to just listen to him and give him advice. Okay, I'm ready.

Although I am America's mentor. Why didn't I just give my mind by it? Good points. Okay, here we go. This is, first of all, Christian Bush from Sugarland, great singer, great producer, great song. So Christian Bush from Sugarland.

Also, Lauren Thomas, director of national promotion for Sony Music Nashville, and Brian Wright, EVP of A&R, which is people that go find the music for Universal Music Group Nashville. Are there any of these people

who were hating on me on Facebook yesterday? Uh-oh. That's not the same, no, but who were those people? Let me tell you. I'm mad at myself. I let them take my joy away for a bit. They did.

They did because, and then my joy got taken a little bit because I was like, wait a second. Why even waste your time, you pointing them out? But then them putting their energy into that on Facebook anyway. Just keep your rude comments to yourself. Doesn't how Facebook works. But this is what happened. They wrote an industry article. And I know the guy wrote it was trying to drum up some comments on Facebook.

Because all he wrote was, well, all righty then. And then it says, Bobby. Bones going to be joining American Idol cast. Wow. And so all these radio people just start bashing me. I don't even know them. And so I posted some of them. Brooke Steven says, and she works at a station somewhere,

for the first time I'm going to keep my mouth shut on this one. Tommy C. says, hey, I got a great idea. Next season, let's ask the janitor. He listens to music. I bet he's got opinions. Let me tell you, then I started to get mad for janitors everywhere. Because I'm going, what's wrong with the janitor? Exactly.

And did you know, yeah, they're making a movie. movie about that janitor, the Frito Lays, it's like now a millionaire. But I just felt like this Tommy Seagal was making fun of somebody who works hard every day. That's what I'm saying. A janitor can know music. And Jenny Taylor writes, the janitor would be cheaper and likely more entertaining. Oh my goodness. So I'm reading this. And then there's people from Scotty McCurray's label from Triple Tigers who is taking shots at me.

And I'm going, wait a second. And then someone from Columbia, Nashville, who we have a bunch of artists with are taking shots at me on this. And I'm just going, what is that? I did nothing. Wow. I just, it wasn't even my article. Yeah, and if Idol offers you a position. What do you mean to do? Say no.

Exactly. I don't understand people. I get, and I should. And most times I don't look at it twice because I live in this world of people always just saying, Bobby's terrible or Bobby's wonderful. And that's the world I live in. Nobody thinks I'm fine. They hate me or they love me.

And really, that's it. And I'm okay with that, but I'm a little on edge right now because, one, I'm tired because I've been shooting for five days. I've had about 10 hours sleep this week. But that's on me. Two, I'm going to talk about it now, but that's my personal life that's really going terribly. And so I was just on edge and I let it get to me.

But I posted it on Instagram, but it was just like my industry just ripping me. I don't even know. I just wish they had a real beef. That's all. I did it. I let it take my joy away and I shouldn't have. And I'll tell you,

though, Mike D was with me in an airport. And I said, hey, should I post this? He goes, yep. I was like, okay, well, there we go. There's all you, Mike. Good one. But I did, it did make me a little bit sad, and it never does, and I just think it's only because.

You have a mixture of things going on, and that, to me, it makes sense. And that's what it was. Yeah. Most times. I would be the same way. I embrace it because I go, wow, I guess I'm making a difference if people have an opinion. Can you send me the thread so we can start commenting back? No, I don't.

Yeah, that would be awesome. Some of our listeners, let me tell you, the B team are relentless. They found it and went over and just started wrecking shop. Yeah, they're good. It was like they went into a best buy with a baseball bat. And I just checked out of the thread. They're like, thanks guys. But it was.

There are record label people from Nashville who I go, huh, I guess I have to see you at some point. I guess I'll see you around. Oh, that's going to be awkward. Will you talk to them about it? I would. Yes. They're not coming in this studio. Ooh.

Until they post a nice message on Facebook. No, no, all joking. It did hurt my feelings a little bit, but one, I'm human at times, and that was one of those times. But now I'm not human against. I'm all good. Yeah, you're back. I'm back. I had some of the work people were reaching out to me going, hey, are you good?

Because I don't let that stuff bother me, and they could tell it was. Well, when it does bother you, there's normally something else going on. That's true. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So, yeah, that happened. But anyway, I'm bringing these people in, and none of them were in the Facebook thread. Good. Yeah, we double-check.

They're all good. They've cleared. Wait, would they get cut? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. They get the, oh, sorry, we're at capacity. We're good, thank you. Fire code.

You can't go in the studio. The Bobby Bones show. Bobby Bones. So Lunchbox wants to tattle on somebody? I knew it. Yeah, okay. So, let's play the game. Lunchbox, who will you be tattling on?

Today I will be tattling on Morgan number two. Okay, so Morgan number two is our. 24-year-old. She does all the digital for the show, the social, the website. And we had a segment where Morgan number two was like, I pay for everything myself. You know, I'm an independent, millennial. And I guess Lunchbox did some detective work for some reason. I don't even know why he did this. But he sends me a note and he goes, I need to talk about this. Yeah, her parents still pay for her cell phone bill, her insurance. Wait, what? Like, she acts like she's all out on her own, been supporting herself and she's doing

great and she's so responsible. Mommy and Daddy are still faithful. the bills it seems like to me because there's some big bills. Let's let her talk here. Go ahead. Morgan number two. Okay, they did pay my bills for about two months when I moved to Nashville, but that was it. It was

only when I first moved to Nashville. They wanted to help me chase my dreams down here because I was really worried about money and moving from Kansas to Nashville. So they did help me for about two months. Outside of that, though, no, they don't pay for anything. So it was a transition, a little gift. Yeah. How did you hear that?

Yeah. One of our Wichita awesome people tip you off. Guys, I have my sources. I can't reveal them. I just know. I'm just saying. Her mom. I may have got an email and let's just say she's not as responsible as she says she is.

Wow. Miss Independent. Morgan number two, you just be you. I will. I'll keep doing me. Just be honest, though. Be honest to you. I was honest.

I swear. I want to do this because Morgan number two is our 24-year-old and she keeps her ear to the ground to what. 24 year olds care about. What do 24 year olds care about with Morgan number two? Whatever. So there's some internet drama going on with the lobster emoji that's supposed

to come out. Apparently the little guy, the first image that's dropped of him, he only has eight legs in the emoji, but lobsters have 10 legs. But I guess Emojapedia found out about the issue. Emojapedia? They have a pedia of emojis? Go ahead.

Emojipedia. who like releases all of the new emojis and they found out about it thanks to Twitter and they quickly fixed the issue and released a new lobster with 10 official legs. So that's what 24 year olds care about? Man I'm up here watching gun control debates

and politics and trying to and they're worried about it. But a lobster has 10 legs dude. I mean I don't even think I would have sat and count the legs on the emoji anyways. Do you know what I saw yesterday? What? Somebody writing a whole article by a men that use emojis are basically

basically whims. Now, come on. I mean, lunchbox, you agree with this? Yes, I absolutely agree with this. I do not understand why guys send emojis. It is so childish and wimpy. What on earth? I do speak in masculine emojis, though, if that matter. No, there's no such thing as a masculine emoji.

I do the fist pound all the time. That's not masculine. The fact that you take time to search through the little... I don't search. I can do that faster that I can write fist bump. Yeah. And emojis are just a quick language. It's like a stenographer in court. They don't write the whole words. They do symbols and I can send a whole emoji conversation and five pushes.

Exactly. So you think I'm wimpy? Yeah, absolutely. If I see a guy sending an emoji, I'm like, this dude is a wimp. I question. My husband has never used an emoji. Well, your husband's awesomer than me in all ways. I'm not saying he's awesome or but I don't mean that.

There's no joke. That's just the truth. Would you say her husband's more manly than you? Oh, no, he's everything more than me in every way. Yeah, yeah. So, well, I mean, I'm only thinking, like, if that's your, if this is the statement here, I'm thinking, I've never seen my husband use an emoji. I use them all the time.

Me too. And I like that Bobby sometimes communicates an emoji. Sometimes he uses emojis to avoid real talk. Hey, it's my emoji. Yeah. He's up on that one. He tried to ask him something really personal and just like talk to him. I just end up mind-blown.

I like that one. Mind-blown prayer hands for thank you. Yes. That's what I do. I'm like, good talk, good talk. Because I can't hit a song in real life like I did here to get out of it. Always enjoy these stories. Just because sometimes when you're knucklehead

and knucklehead things happen to you, it's a good lesson to all of us because we're all knuckleheads at some point, but a man who used a smoke bomb to try to rid his cross face of skunks. He did succeed, but he also nearly burned down his house. Firefighters were called. It's not good.

They say that a renter who lived there used a smoke bomb to get rid of skunks. He said he waited 15 minutes after the fire started, then called 911. I think he was embarrassed. What? And then no skunker. skunk carcasses were found at the scene, so I don't think it actually killed the skunks either. And he was a renter. He didn't even own the home.

I know. When I was a kid and the neighbors across the street, I was throwing some smoke bombs and fireworks in their garage, caught their sheets on fire, almost burned down their house. And I didn't even know. I just threw them in there and left. And a couple hours later, the sheets just, they found them burned in their garage. It could have just lit the whole house on fire. Lunchbox's brother set a whole field on fire once. They had to call the fire department.

I burned like three and a half acres. Playing with old lighters and old socks And they were lighten them And then they let it get big, let it get big And then it got too big They tried to stomp it And whew Amy had a party at her house once

When her mom left And there was three people over That were out of town I shouldn't have them over Three boys Party Oh my goodness Oh my good

I know I know And one of them through I didn't even know They were smoking Everybody didn't know Do you hear like Oh I didn't know

I know Yeah It's a hot Texas Summer Day And one of them threw a cigarette It was a hot Texas summer. We got three boys that aren't at home. Our wooden shingle roof.

Someone threw a cigarette out there. It was a wooden shingle roof. And my house went on fire and the fire department came. And the only room in the house that was ruined was my mom's. Oh. Oh, water damage everywhere. Because, I mean, they had to straight up put the fire hoses on the house. It was bad.

Well, I'm glad everybody's okay. And the guy's okay. Yeah. And the skunks are okay. Yeah, yeah. I had a late night last night, but it was good. I went and I played the Bluebird. I got invited by Christian Bush of Sugarland.

So we sat around and it was the best little surrounding of music I've ever sat and just watched. I was just a fan. I played songs, but I kind of knew my place. I played the funny song and I passed along real quick. But so it was Christian Bush, and he did Baby Girl from Sugar Land. It was so good. The guys. Just talented.

Talented in one of the best dudes. If Christian said, hey, Bobby, I need to talk to you. I'm going to be, okay, cool. What you need me for? He said, I need you to walk through that wall. I say, all right, how fast you can me to walk through the wall. You got it. I do anything for that guy.

So, I mean, we didn't stop playing until after 11 p.m. last night. Wow. And Hunter Hayes played, and he played right to my left. It's four people sitting in a circle. And you can all reach out and touch each other. That's how close you are. And Hunter Hayes. Because I want to wrap you up.

He was just playing piano. No guitar? No, no guitar. He's a lot. And it's on my Insta story, but he played three new songs and then played wanted at the end, but I'm not lying. And I have the joy of getting to hear new music all the time. He played three songs, and all three of them were like, boom. Oh, wow.

We don't know Hunter that well. Because in our five years of doing this, he's only been by a couple of times. Yeah, and that was like four, five years ago. So last night was the first time we actually sat down and talked and played together. but he has some stuff that is so good. His mom and dad were there. Really? His mom came up to me last night and said,

Hey, would you give me a shout out tomorrow? I was like, of course. Hunter's mom? Hunter's mom, yeah. So, of course. So Hunter was awesome. This band I've been talking about for a couple weeks, Lark and Poe, it's two sisters.

I mean, mind blown. They're so good. You better come on in my kitchen. One sister plays. regular guitar and does vocals. I don't play slide. Wow. That's the kind of music I'll listen to at home.

It's awesome. They're awesome. It was such a cool thing that I didn't even hate being out that late. I hate it right now because a little bit I'm tired. Yeah, hurts a little bit. But I went straight from the airport, changed clothes, and drove over and played the show last night,

and it was really good. And it was for St. Jude, and it was one of those nights. I even think I appreciate it because I'm a bit emotional, but I just appreciated it last night. I hung around and talked to all the listeners that came out. And I always think that nobody's there to see me. I always want to get it over.

So I was surprised that people wanted to stay and wait. And so are you kidding me? I stayed and waited and talked to everybody. It was good. It was a good night. We went home and was it. Yeah. Well, hopefully you can get some rest this weekend.

Nope. No? Yeah, a little bit. But yeah, I went, yes. I'm trying to. We're going to try. By the way, Brandon Ray has a song out called Small Talking that came out this morning. It's really good, right?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, of course. Listen to the tambourine on it. Are you serious? Yeah, I love it. I love this song. Small talking from Brandon Ray. Oh, it's small talkin'all.

This guy's so good. I couldn't help but get your ride. Watching the old night. This song makes me feel sexy. Yeah, Brandon Ray's small talking. Yeah, I'm taking him out of my comedy tour. I was so lucky that I could, I had to book him four months ago. But he's doing all March through July.

He's so good. So, yeah, there was that. but I hope people check that song out Donna in Boston morning Donna Morning Bobby How are you I'm good

How are you doing? I'm doing great That show last night Was the most amazing thing I've ever been to Oh so you came to the Bluebird And watched us all play Yes and I came

Because I saw you post on Facebook And I came for you But I left a huge Hunter Hayes And Christian Bush fan Right I mean wasn't everybody just awesome It was just the most

incredible thing I've ever, ever been to. Yeah, everyone was so awesome. And you were awesome, too. I was a different, I don't even say awesome. I was a different part. I was the comedy relief. I played some funny songs and I worked the room. But that's what made it good. That's what made it so good. Well, I appreciate that. I'm glad you got to come. That's a real special thing to go to the Bluebird period. But to see someone like Christian Bush from Sugar Land and Hunter Hayes and Lark and Poe, they blew my mind last night. Oh, totally. especially. It was amazing. Well, thank you very much, Donna.

I'm glad you had fun. I appreciate you calling this morning. I appreciate you guys so much. You make my morning awesome. Well, thank you. I appreciate you. There's a, let me say this. Shout out to Wichita. Because oddly, there are a couple places that are so good to us. One, Wichita is like the OG. Oh, OG for sure. OG for sure. I will always love Wichita.

Even when I get fire from radio and I'm just, I'm chilling. That was our first trip. I just love Wichita so much. That being said, I have a story about him. A Wichita Bank is trying to get money back from a woman. She made more than 50 withdrawals from an ATM that was printing out $100 bills, like spitting them out instead of fives. Oh, no. How did she find that ATM?

The Central National Bank filed a lawsuit last month, demanding the woman return about $11,000 plus interest. That's from the Wichita Eagle. The bank realized the ATM wasn't working properly. and it's supposed to be given out fives and it was given out hundreds. They also want to confiscate two cars that she bought during the time where the ATM wasn't. She saw this and just saw... She went with it. Free milk.

Let me go back to the cow. Man, hunt it, hunt it, hunt it. How do you charge, like, how do you sue her? You made a mistake and then you sue her for your mistake? That is not possible. Sorry, your equipment malfunctioned. Yeah, I get that argument, but I think there's too much precedent in casinos messing up. her knowing that she really didn't have that money.

She obviously went back. I mean, the first time, it might be like, oh, whoopsie, but then she kept going back. Right. Oh, you wouldn't go back? 50 withdraws. I'd go back every hour. Yeah, but that's right. As soon as your bank cleared you to have more.

So, no, no, I understand what you're saying. And on the surface, like, they messed up. They should pay for it. But when you go back 50 times, there starts to be, you're gaming the system, and you know you're cheating and you keep cheating. So if you're on the jury, you give the bank their money back? I probably meet in the middle. They want 11,000 plus interest.

I probably give back about $8,000. Yeah, they don't get interest. And what about the cars? Who gets to keep the cars? Well, you have to liquidate one of them. Listen, I'm just mentor. I'm America's mentor. I'm mentoring the jury here.

You look at one of the cars, and then you keep, they did mess up. They messed up. There's something to that, but she also realized and just kept taking advantage of it. Is she the only one that noticed this? I mean, where do they have it on video? Where's the rest of the world?

No one else got the hundreds? Guys, think about it. No one got that lucky. I don't know that I've met to an ATM 50 times in five years combined. She's like every day, I'm out of cash. Honey, I'll be back. I got to go.

She's like, I only go to this ATM. Wow. Michelle and Franklin, good morning. Good morning, Bobby. How are you? I'm doing awesome after last night's show. It was amazing. Oh, you went to the blue book?

Bird last night too? I did go to the Bluebird and I was lucky enough to get tickets and my husband and I had a wonderful time and got to meet you at the end and... Yeah, how was that? It was great. You were amazing and know that you didn't have a lot of sleep yesterday. So thanks for being there and being funny and bringing Brandon Ray out. That was awesome to hear a new artist thing. That was great. Well, thank you very much. I hope that it was special for you because just as a music fan, It was special for me to sit in that circle and to hear all those Hunter Hayes and Christian Bush and Lark and Poe.

And then I played this long, but I tried to get it off of me. But yes, thank you for coming now, Michelle. I hope you enjoyed that. Yeah, thank you, Bobby. It was awesome. Have a good morning, and I don't want to leave without saying. I appreciate. On the Bobby Bone Show now.

Heath Sanders. All right, he's got his own rejoin there. Heath Sanders is not in here right now, but he's walking in the hall. As he's coming in, I'll give you, hey, we're on the air over here. I love how people just think we're talking because it never changed. is our show? It's just us talking the whole time. Natural. Here comes Heath Sanders in here right now. Heat Sanders is from Arkansas. There he is.

Look at this guy right here. We're on the air right now. So come on. Heath's good to see you, buddy. Good to see you, man. Thanks for having you. You good? Appreciate it. Yes, sir. Put those headphones on. Let me tell you about Heath. This is a true story.

And Heath, you can add to this as we go. But I see Heath's video on Facebook. And so I just do a Facebook search for Heath Sanders, Arkansas. And it pops up. And so I send him a message. Say, hey, Heath is Bobby Bones. and I see the bubble pop up and it stops. Because he's probably thinking... What did you think when I send you a Facebook message?

Actually, I got a call from my bookkeeper and he's like, hey, man, Bobby just reached out to you. Also, that wasn't you at first on there. Yeah, it was me. It was me. It was me. But that's why it took me so long to get back to you. I was like, no way, dude. And he's like, no, I think it really is him. And then I went and stalked your profile for a minute. Because that was my personal account that I never used.

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, there's no way Bobby Bones has 520 friends or whatever it is. and yeah and then I hit you back and that's how I still wasn't was in disbelief. I was like dude come up on the show you're so good I know and so then we talked to him and when did you drive up last night? Yeah. How was that drive? Pretty easy?

It was good. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. Did you get off work today? Yeah. What do you tell your boss? You say, hey, I'm going to be on the radio or what? Yeah, I mean, that's basically all it took. And he's like, we'll be tuned in, man.

I mean, they were really supportive of it. They're listening to. Yeah. Yeah, man. That's why I grew up listening to it too. I don't know how old are I, but I grew up listening to Bob Robbins. Like Kiss the 96th. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

And so that's cool. That's cool. You listen, like, you're like home. You're like a hometown friend, man. This is awesome. Got a hog hat on. It says hog life on it. So, Heath, tell me about your job, what you do as a day job.

Man, I just roll around and I'm actually on the production side of natural gas production. I roll around and check whales, make sure everything's going good, do preventative maintenance. It's a lot of computer work, and it's not as hard as it sounds. I mean, there are some manual labor, but it's not. It's not unbearable. Downplaying how hard he works. I see you. I want to bring in our panel of experts now.

And so we went far and wide to find people that could give him different kinds of, hey, it's good. Hey, maybe you can work on this. Hey, maybe this is what you should do. So I want to bring in some people here. First off, I want to bring in Brian Wright, EVP of A&R at Universal Music Group in Nashville. Brian, what up, buddy? Come on in here.

Give this guy a microphone. Hey, Brian, tell me exactly. because I know what you do because I'm kind of in the business here. What do you do as the EVP of A&R? I work on the creative side of making the record from finding songs, sitting down with the producer, artist,

figuring out what we're cutting, taking it all the way to the very end until promo gets it and brings it to you. So who were some of the people you've worked with that maybe we've heard of? This gentleman to my left, Christian Bush and Sugarlo, Glenn. Chris Stapleton.

I've heard of him. I've heard of him. George Strait. Oh, I've heard of him too. Wow. Luke Bryan. Man, so Heath, you heard of these guys you're talking about? Oh, yeah. Okay, good, good, good. So that's Brian Wright, EVP of A&R, Universal Music Group in Nashville. I also want to bring in Lauren Thomas, director,

national promotion at Sony. Lauren, hello! Lauren, so what is your job? My job is to get songs played on the radio. So I politely annoy radio programmers and try to get our music, our roster of music played and up the chart. So do you have anybody we may have heard of?

Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Marin Morris, Luke Combs. I've heard of all of them. It's crazy. So far I'm 100% in hearing. So also in singer, songwriter, producer, Grammy winner, greatest guy in the world from Sugar Land. Christian Bush is here. Yeah.

Oh, my God. We're here. So Christian. Yes, sir. What do you look for whenever you see a new artist that's, because we're about to hear him play, but he's really green? Heath, how long you've been playing? Publicly for about five months.

Yeah, he's so green. So what do you look for with a new, new artist? A glutton for punishment. Yeah, that's part of it, really. Resolve. You know, artists get told no every day, and it's how well you deal with no. So I would look for how well they deal with rejection. So today's going to reject you.

Let's see. Dayton at 34 years old is going to carry me for that. Okay. Are you a single guy? Yes, sir. At 34? Yeah. Oh, did you say dating?

Yeah, dating. Okay. Oh, Lord. Listen, listen, sometimes I, and I went to a lot of speech pathology, but I have Arkansas, still a lot of Arkansas words that come out of me. They look at me like I'm speaking Mandarin sometimes. No, I got it. Hey, well, this, you might not have you single for long.

That's true. That's true. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Okay, Heath Sanders is here. So, he's, we kind of didn't give you rules except no Chris Ableton because that song you sang sounds so much like Chris Ableton that I couldn't have you do another Chris Ableton song.

That's the best compliment you could ever give me, probably. It's a huge compliment. So what I want you to do is let's do a cover first, and I want you to do a verse and a chorus of a very famous cover. So what song are you going to perform first? Let's do Like a Reck and Ball by your church. All right, like a recong ball from Heath Sanders,

drove up. You stay in a hotel last night? Yeah. Yeah. I'm just saying he's trying to date, you know? Guys. This might be a strategic selection. Ladies and gentlemen, Heath Sanders, everyone.

Here we go. Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can go to Bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up

and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now. Thank you for listening to the show, and sorry about all the legal stuff. By the way, if you're just turning the radio on, this is Heath Sanders. By the way, Heath got here an hour early, and I must applaud it for that, because I love, I love punctuality. Man, that's my sexiest trait, punctuality. I heed your preaching, man.

Yeah, man. You love hunting, fishing? You love dogs? Yeah. Yeah. Man. I have five. Yeah.

Really? Yeah, I got a bit of an obsession. What kind of dogs? I got a 14-year-old pit bull, been together since he was six weeks old. and I got some Australian cattle dogs that's my sidekicks and I haul around. Since the old man, he's too old to ride with me anymore.

Yeah? So I also asked he to say, Hey, bring in one of your songs. You know, I wanted to hear something familiar so we could kind of go, okay, we know that song. And you wrote this next song. Yeah, me and a buddy

of my name Jamie Jones out of Russellville literally finished his song last week. So I don't even know it that well. It's fresh. That's a understatement. How are the nerves right now? Pretty bad. I can't tell.

Like right now, I think you're doing pretty good. So let's hear this one here. What's it called? This is called Bloodline. Yeah. Bloodline. Yeah. Okay.

And just keep playing it until I say, okay, cool. Okay, cool. All right, ladies gentlemen, heat standards. Clap your hands. Come on with that. Okay, I'm so glad that was good. Me too. I was nervous and what a minute it is.

All right. Man. Okay. So I want to go to Brian Wright, EVP of ANR, Universal Music Group. Nashville. This is what he does. He finds people. You see this guy out. What do you think, Brian? Well, I'm glad

that Bobby had you sing those two songs and not a Chris Stapleton song. Because personally, I don't think you sound like Chris Tableton, which is a great thing because we already have Chris Stapleton. Sure. We don't need another one. I think that was Heath Sanders, and you sounded great, man. Thanks, Brian. Sounded great. If you saw him out, Brian,

they said, hey, Brian, give me some advice, what do I need to do? Should I keep playing? Should I move to Nat? What would you tell him? Well, I mean, he lives Arkansas you live in Arkansas yes sir I mean if I met somebody in town if you lived here I would say what are you doing

let's hook up with the right people put him in the right rooms with writers put a piece of a producer around you all that kind of stuff Christian knows without without a song you're just a singer you think he's good enough to actually start

to build around though yes he's he wanted to say that I'm telling you he wanted to say that right there he's told me often you should stop singing. So I have believed. He says Bobby, quit singing. Brian says that. Okay, let's go to Lauren Thomas. Now, Lauren, you have the artist and they're packaged and you take them out and you sell

them to people. He say, hey, trust me, they're good. Yes. Now, you hear Heath sing. What do you think? Man, instantly, I thought that song sounded familiar, which it's not, I mean, I'm not saying that your voice sounds like anyone else, but that's something that radio looks for, something that people can connect with. And I think that that was really, really great. I think you have an awesome, awesome range. and I would love to bring you around to see people in our building.

What? Hey, by the way, by coming on the show, you have signed an agreement with me that I get there. We make decisions as a team, but man, like, I figured you were going to ask me kind of what we would do, and I would love to at least introduce you some people at the building. Great. Would you be willing to be introduced to people? Yeah. Yeah.

All right, cool. Now, let's go to Christian Bush. I mean, Christian's done it all on all sides from producers. to being a Grammy winning performer. Christian is just the man. So Christian, I'm coming to you last. Give me your thoughts. You definitely need to do this for a living.

Wow. If you've got the courage for it, you should do this for a living. Now it's going to, you know, it's not as easy as it probably. These guys are telling you the truth. But to get in room with these two people to my right and left,

that's not easy. And you just got it. So I would just say take this exact opportunity that you're sitting in right in this moment. And this is way past entertainment. This is me just talking to you across the table. Do this. If it doesn't work out in five, six months, fine. Go do something else.

But it would be a disservice to your voice not to do this. Because part of this is about writing songs. Because if you don't tell the truth, it doesn't matter. None of it matters. No matter how well you sing, no matter. about what you look like, whether you know, none of that matters.

But it sounds like you've got something to say and that's worth it because there's somebody out there listening who need you to say it to them. And your voice will translate it, but it sounds like your words will. Thanks, Christian. Then he's there.

Come on, Christian, Bush. I do. So, Christian, he stood up when you finish and did that. Heath, you just played. You have three people that pretty much run the town

musically giving you advice and how do you feel right now? Just in awe genuinely. I mean I'm kind of speechless to be honest with you. I mean this has been such a crazy ride. I mean five months ago when I played

a little old dive bar in the middle of nowhere like I ever imagine I'd be here. Like this is just insane man and I appreciate you having me man. Like it's we're going to have to medicate my mom I want to send you a bill from my mom's medication. You're about to lose her mind, man. Aw.

We should say hi to her. What's your name? Yeah, shout out to my mom. My mom's name's Raylene. Hey, Raylene. And she is my biggest fan, always has me. Love it. That's special.

Oh, Heath. Heath, Heath, let me tell you. As America's mentor, because you know, that's what I am now. Oh, my. Stop with that. What? What? Okay, all right.

I would like to mentor you to listen to these three. And you're going to leave the room in a minute, and they're going to leave the room. And if they say, hey, let me get your number or whatever. You know, sometimes you have to sacrifice things that are easy and familiar and it's scary. I know you have like a stable job and it's tough to go, I'm going to leave what I'm doing and chase something that I'm passionate about, but you really only get one shot. And I always like to have messed up on things rather than not try them. And if it's the worst decision ever, at least you made a decision and did it wrong instead of nothing at all in wondered.

Sure. So I'll leave you with that because what do I know? They know way more than me. So I think you did great. I think you sounded great. I was nervous when I'm going to be to good. I'll be honest with you. I never know.

I saw it on Facebook. Like I only saw you on Facebook and I was like, hey, come up. And I was nervous, but you exceeded anything that I had in my mind. Wow. Thanks, man. So I'm really proud of you and for you and I love to see Marcosso. You know, brothers come in and just crush it. They're only, yeah, there are only a few of us, man.

And so I'm glad you came in. So we're going to end this segment. I hope you feel good. And we'll see what happens after this. I would say, you know, maybe Lauren will get your name. number, you know, Brian. I mean, Christian probably give you, we need a car.

Hey, this is the nicest guy. I'm really excited about it. Yeah, yeah, he'll do whatever you want. You want a house? But I think this is a real good look for you, buddy. Cool. And I'm glad you made the drive. I know you got off work for this.

Me too. And don't stop saying things that you feel. Because right now you're not trained, and that's the best way to be. then because you're talking to real people. So keep on, buddy. All right. Thanks, Bobby. Heath Sanders.

Yay. Do you have any performances coming up? We can send people to? Yeah, I'm actually going to be in Rabbit Ridge tonight in central Arkansas. So you're driving back to play tonight? Yeah, got a quick drive to make back. Start at 8 p.m.

At Rabbit Ridge. Yeah, Rabbit Ridge Farms. It's just outside of Bee Branch, Arkansas. You guys can come on out. I got a feeling a few people are going to show up tonight. Just a hunch I got, Heath. Okay. Heath, good to see.

see you. Bobby, thanks. And I'm going to hit this button, but I think this whole room feels like, wow. So that's a deal. Yes. Even lunchbox. Even lunchbox. Christy just passed you a note, so I don't know what it says.

It means I was faster than the other two people. All right. This is the Bobby Bones show. Bobby Bones. I got Christian Bush of Sugar Land to hang out for a bit because I want to talk to him about music. You good? I'm good. I mean, I'm as good.

as I can be right now. So Christian and I played last night. I played, Christian asked me nicely to come play it. We played it around at the Bluebird. We did. You did fantastic, by the way. You know, I don't think that anyone really knew what I was doing. Because I normally don't know what I'm doing either, and everyone's looking at me like,

what's about to happen here? Because I'm not you guys. You guys are real musicians. But it's part of the joy of the audience is not, especially at the Bluebirds, not knowing what's going to happen next and not really knowing the skill set of each person. Yeah, I wonder what my place was last night. Seat filler? Oh, I can reflect back to you what your skill set is, if you're like.

So I know you told me that you were working on a whole new couple hours worth of comedy, right? And really what it is is you kept revealing the fact that, oh, man, I can't play, I can't write, and then you can write and play, right? And then you were somehow able to open people's hearts because when they close off sometimes in situations like that, because these songs push them or pull them. And you got them to laugh. and when they can laugh, they can connect, right? Total strangers are laughing at the same joke. It's the bigger, better way of total strangers crying at the same song, you know? So you got all these people connected, and then he played them songs, and they were like,

oh my God, I love him. Oh, I don't know about that, but I appreciate you having me last night. It was great. Christian has, he introduced me to his band Lark and Poe a while ago, and they played, and they are so good. How about that, right? They blew my mind. And I get to see people of one mind all the time, and it's two sisters, and they sing and play guitar and one play slide, and they're awesome.

It's unbelievable. It makes you feel great. This is some lark and poe here. You better come on in my kitchen. Want to be raining out of thought. You know what I really liked about it too? I hope this doesn't sound weird. They had no idea who I was.

No. They didn't give a crap. And I was like, this is awesome. It's just people hanging out. You know, the first time I heard about them, The pedigree was, hey man, so they're the backing band for Elvis Costello. And I was like, wait, what? And so when I met him, I was like, I'm in a band called Shirley.

And they're like, never heard of you. And they were like, well, what do you want to do? And I was like, let's just write a song. That's cool. And then Hunter Hayes blew us away. He was playing. And I don't feel like I'm Hunter's Target demo. And he was playing these songs, and I told him privately, I said, Hunter, that's the best

stuff I've ever heard from you. Yeah. Like what you were singing, just touch me. He found his lane finally. You know? I mean, he's always been great. But there's a certain part where you get your heartbroken and you think that maybe your career's over, but you have all these skills, right? And he killed it.

Yeah. And then, of course, Christian comes in with all these stories. And Sugar Land's back. Sugar Land is literally. Literally, I finished the record yesterday at 7.30. A.m.? PM. P.

Oh, right? Oh, right before we did the show. Yeah, I came to the show from the studio where we had just packed up everything and we made the entire record in three days. Produced. Produced everything. Sang it. Jennifer sang it on the floor. Is it good?

Unreal. Is it? Yeah. I mean, I wrote, we wrote it in the last 20 days and recorded it in the last three. So it's one of these things where I'm not quite sure what it is. But I can tell you this. My friends around me were like, dude, we love you. We know you're good.

but holy moly, that was real. So it's a great record. I cannot wait to hear it myself later today. And for you to hear it. Yeah, I'm excited. It's a real record. I told you, I was a Sugar Land pan before I knew you. And then you guys went away and I only knew you and didn't know Sugar Land.

Christian Bush from Sugar Land is in here. And so what's the timing of the record? Do you have anything officially it or no? They don't really tell you. I mean, they don't tell you. Yeah, the artist is literally the last to know. But most of the time, you know, it's like hurry up and wait. So they lean on us really hard to get it done.

We're about to go on tour. And I think everyone's really excited about maybe having new music for the tour that kind of follows with the song we just heard, you know. And so I should be done with my process in about 10, 15 days. We've got to start a tour in Europe a week and a half, so two weeks. How's old Jennifer doing? doing. She's doing great. She's holding up, man. You know me. I run really, really fast and I don't, I will create in seven, eight minutes. Last song for this record, I wrote in six minutes sitting on my luggage waiting to

leave New York. And I, she was like, what do you got? And I played it for. She was like, really? That's awesome. Let's do that. So it's the last song in the record. And this is a beautiful kind of what it's like to sit and be alive right now in this time and this world. A lot of times people will say, you know, I did this, wrote this song in 10 minutes, and I wouldn't believe them. However, having worked with you personally and seen you operate, where the guys grabbing instruments off walls, iPads, make it all in the span of 80 seconds, and all of a sudden there's a full symphony of electronic instruments and he's playing, and I'm just like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I just got here. So I get, I believe you. It's fun. Yeah, I'm excited. And so you start the tour in Europe.

Start the tour in Europe in Dublin in about two weeks, which means I got to go relearn all the Sugarland songs. Oh, that's a thing, huh? It's real. Well, you know, the last tour we did was an all-request tour. I was obsessed with fans because I love our fans. This is my favorite thing. And I said, you know, you guys pick the set list every night. We would pick signs from the audience like Springsteen.

We'd do anything. And what it meant is that it really clouded your mind as to what Halloween song goes. And we broke into four or five different songs the other day in rehearsal that we just couldn't play. You mean you had trouble with it because it'd be a while. Yeah, I just couldn't remember. And when we sat down, we were like, wow, that was good. Well, last night, Christian played baby girl, knew all the words, felt pretty good. I was doing backing vocals.

You were. You know what? Bobby's saying great backing vocals. I think that's my best vocal, the backing. Yes. That's my strong. Well, I'm very happy. I know you're going to go drive back down at home today, so I'll let you go.

But I'm happy for you in a lot of ways, man. And I'm happy for me because I'm glad you guys are back doing stuff. Yes. Well, I'm happy for you, man. You got a lot going on. you need to learn to get some sleep. Everybody chuckles amongst himself. Were you in complaining about sleep or something?

No, I don't complain. I just doesn't really sleep. Have you found your favorite coffee yet? Because if you hadn't, I'm going to bring you some cold brew coffee. You sent me some cold brew coffee. I don't drink coffee. Oh, well, then don't touch that stuff. I didn't.

I left it on my counter because it's very kind of you to send it to me. But then I feel bad giving it away because you sent it to me. No, no. But your friends you gave it to, there are your really close friends. What is this special stuff? Don't anybody. You know what? You're a new parent.

I will send you some. Okay. Christian, good to see you. Thank you. See you soon. Absolutely. All right, Christian Bush. And get that Sugar Land song.

Save it, download it, and wait for the record like the rest of America. All right, see you soon, buddy. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Snapchat's market value dropped 1.3 billion yesterday. And some people are blaming Kylie Jenner because she tweeted on Wednesday that she doesn't like using it anymore. And then she later came back and said she loves Senate. Snapchat. Well, yeah, because you probably said, hey, you just cost a lot of money.

I don't think it's a direct correlation, I think, a part of it's to the new design, which I love. It's brought me to Snapchat more. People are hating on the new design because it's different. People hate everything because it's different. I actually enjoy it. I hope they don't change it. And Kylie Jenner just shows you the kind of influence she has, which is crazy. Yeah, what else?

Well, they're saying it's either that or that the CEO got a $637 million bonus. And that was in the news. Do you know why you get bonuses, though? Oh, well, yeah, because you're... Because you've achieved some sort of girl said... Absolutely. I thought because he was a CEO, and he can do that. No, I mean, that means they have made, like, even way, way more than that.

But it's crazy that you can get that much of a bonus. So, if you want a happier marriage, all you got to do is tell your spouse a joke. It doesn't even have to be a good one. So I got a joke. That's the key? Wow. I'm not your spouse. That's easy.

No, I have a joke for people listening right now. Oh, okay, go ahead. Right now, get out your phone. text this to your spouse, see if things improve this weekend. What do you get when you have a cat that eats lemons? A sour puss. I'll try that. Hey, all relationship problems?

Yeah. Done. We're good. As in this moment. Okay, so if you've seen the hashtag side profiles selfie on social media lately, it's this whole thing where if you're not in love with your nose, because noses are a big thing, it's a way to encourage you to just love yourself. Love your nose.

Throw it up there. Feel empowered. Feel good. So if you want to be a part of this, turn to the side, snap a pick, and use that hashtag side profile selfie. And lastly,

your fun fact for the weekend, if you're looking for something to bring up at a party. I do need one. I do need a point out of fact. Birds don't pee. Wait, how does water come out of them? They don't pee.

They only poop. Birds don't pee. Oh, that's why it's always wet. They don't even have urethras. That's why their poop's always like, or urethas. Oh, that makes sense. It's kind of wet poop.

It's never dry. I never thought about that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So, fun fact for the weekend. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.
