A couple reviews I wanted to get because these are shows that I'm interested in seeing. First, we'll talk about the morning show, which is on Apple Plus. Yeah. Is that what it's called Apple Plus? Yes. Yes, Apple TV, Apple Plus. Yeah, they're about the same. I don't know what it's called.

Disney Plus. Disney Plus is one, but Apple TV Plus. God dang, it's so many. And I consider myself the expert and I'm getting lost. Holy moly. God dang. Okay, Apple TV Plus. Yes.

Well, I have seen the previews for that show with Steve Carell and Jennifer Aniston and... Reese Witherspoon. And it's called The Morning Show. It's a morning TV show. Yes. And how did you watch it? So they have a free episode to entice you, obviously. And then if you like it, you buy the subscription to watch the next two episodes that they have out.

So they have three episodes out right now. And I binged all three. Oh, so you have also joined. You've also bought the episode. Yeah. Did you like the show? Oh, it was so good. And all three of them are so good.

And it's about, you know, news and journalism. And they're just three solid actors in those roles. Yeah, I caved. I bought it. Who else saw this? Ramondo? What'd you think? Well, Jennifer Anderson is funny and friends.

Steve Krell is hilarious in the office. They don't play funny roles in the morning show. So it's just, it's our job. But the TV side of it. It's serious. They deal with a bunch of serious issues. If you want to laugh, don't watch it. I didn't laugh once

and I watched the entire episode. Did you like it though? Because not all shows are to be laughed at. Honestly, it's our job. They get up early in the morning, they complain about getting up early. I'm like, oh, that feels like my life. And then they're going through difficult situations. I don't know if it was supposed to be funny, but it was not. Would you subscribe based on that show?

I think I get it for free. For a year? Yeah. A lot of us do. I think if you have like a certain iPhone or a certain carrier, like Apple's going, hey, we don't need the money right now. We just want you all in, so when we finally do decide to hit you, you pay. Is this one of the ones where you sign up and then a year later you just automatically renew unless you tell them not to? Well, that's everything. That just happened to me with HBO.

I had a free trial for seven days and then I forgot. That's what they're hoping. You forget. I know. And now I'm like, well. What they're hoping is you love it. Oh. Not that you forget.

It's not all a big swindle. Oh, no. I think they're hoping you forget. They do for, but I mean, they really are hoping that you like it enough and it just rolls over. I did like it enough. Ballers is good. It is really good. Are you done with the whole thing?

No, I just, I've watched one episode. But I only got HBO because of succession, which I did binge and finish just in time. But then I totally forgot to like go back and cancel it, whatever. But are you going to keep it now? Yeah, I guess we're in. Got them. See, because you enjoy it somewhere. Especially because I'm like, okay, ballers could be a potential thing that I could binge because there's several seasons.

But I'm just not, I don't have room for it right now. But you know what? It's there waiting for me if I need it. So the show, you give it, what, Morgan number two? Five out of five morning shows. It's a terrible thing to give it of morning shows because of apples. If I say anything, though, I'm going to give away the whole plot. Five out of five apps.

But you give it five out of five mornings. Five out of five TVs. I don't know. Five out of five. Just three solid A-list actors and it's so good. Ramundo, what do you give it? Give it three and a half teleprompters out of five. See?

He knows how to do it. it. Sorry. I'm just really excited about the show. Mike Dee watched the show that I've been

considering watching which is that Paul Rudd show which is called Living With Yourself? Yeah. It's on Netflix. It came up for a long time

like you should watch this show. And it's Paul Rudd but does he play more than one character? He plays two characters. So he plays himself twice or two different people?

Himself twice. And what's the show about? So the plot is that he tries to better himself by going to this place to get like this spa treatment and he ends up they clone him.

So then he's a lot. and his clones alive, and yeah, it's good. Okay, let me sidebar for a second. Do you that Russian story where you can create a clone of yourself? No. But do you come out a baby or he came out his age? You don't clone into a baby, you clone exactly what you are, I believe. Really?

Oh, I thought you... Unhuman cloning. Oh, I thought you had to be birthed and then you grow up. Like you can clone puppies, but they... How do they make another person? Yeah, like, how do you just come out of a machine fully functional? You guys, it's like... How does Spider-Man shoot webs and fly through...

Oh, it's not real? So what's the Russian thing? But they're not like huge. They just look like you. Oh, okay. Exactly. But they're born? No.

Oh, my God. Hey, Mike D, tell me about this show. Yeah, so he's like playing himself twice. So it's like a better version of himself and in the regular him. And what did you think about the show? I thought it was pretty good. It's not a full on comedy. There's funny parts to it, but it's dramatic.

There's some like kind of tearful moments. It's pretty good. What do you give it? Three and a half clones. Okay. Or Morgan number two would give it 3 and a half TV shows 3 and a half streaming

Yeah 3 and a half subscription plans Yeah Is it kind of like that one TV show There was a lot of cloning Where that girl You know what I don't remember I used to watch that show to the girl

What was it called? No I watched it too And I fell out after by the second season Yeah I just wonder if a Oh my gosh That show was so good It was so good

Yeah what was that What was it called? Was it on Netflix? No, it was on like USA or something like that. Yeah, or the BBC maybe. I don't know. Yeah. Orphan Black.

That's what it was. That was a jam for a while. Did that just disappear? I think it just had a bad season or two and then I don't think it's on anymore. That was a big show. You know what show's coming to an end too this season is the computer hacker show? Robot, Mr. Robot. What is that on?

USA? Great show. You guys have too many TV shows. I haven't watched that in a while. It's been gone for a long time. He did Freddie Mercury in, you know, the Queen biopic. Oh, that's Romney. Yeah, Romney Malick.

Romney, that's it. Not Mitt Romney, no. It's great. Especially if you're a little bit nerdy. It's great. Christian Slater's in it, too. Oh, wow. Yeah.

That show is effed up. It's like the... But it could happen. That's all my point. There are a couple shows where we're just one step away from all those crap happening. One of them is Mr. Robot, and the other one is... Walking Dead? No, that's like three steps because

I probably could happen to. This cloning one? Snap. Oh, Handmaids Tale. Totally. Totally could happen. Anytime I'm watching that, I'm like... Oh, do not watch the handsmith. There are probably parts of America that are already closer to it than others. Really? I don't want to go there. Yeah, I know.

You sure? A Maid's... Or greater. That's so crazy. That's so crazy. Eddie, have you ever... You even didn't even see one episode? No, I don't. Just watch episode one. You have to give it two.

Okay. Two? After the second episode, you will go, I cannot watch another second play. Then you'll play another episode. But am I going to feel bad after I don't want to watch it? It's so dark. It's the worst. It's the worst I've ever felt after watching a show, but I've never wanted to watch another show ever.

I watched that unbelievable one and I just felt terrible afterwards. I'm like, I don't want to watch these anymore. But did you keep watching a believe? Of course, I watched the whole thing. Eddie, the Handmaid's Tale? You'll watch it and you'll, there's a pit in your stomach and you go, this sucks. Oh, it's way. worse than unbelievable. Yeah. Oh yeah.

What is unbelievable? Unbelievable is the one that Morgan number two first recommended where it's like true stories. Oh yeah, okay. Yeah. One true story. It's like her story. What's her story? There are others around it. I can't keep up. The handmade still? You should watch it. Eddie, you will come back. A different person?

Oh, you'll just be so down. It's such a good show. See, I don't know why you guys want that. Do not watch it. No, I don't know if I'm going to watch it. Eddie, don't even watch a third episode. You have to, though. You won't be able to stop, man.

Morgan number two, if you watch Handmaid's Tale? Nope, I won't touch it. That's right up your alley though. No, that is not my alley.

Morgan number two, if you watch it, I'll watch it. No. I won't you watch it. I've heard too much about it and I don't like anything relatively scary. It's not scary.

It's dark. There's nothing scary about it. Well, it's scary that that potentially could happen. But not like, it's like unbreakable. You're like, oh, that sucks. That's fiction.

Unbreakable. Unbelievable. Unbelievable? Yeah. That's not what I've heard. about that. I heard it gets really intense. Bones, if you're tricking us

and now we're going to feel disgusting afterwards. There's no monsters. You are going to feel disgusting. We're not tricking you. You will feel disgusting. You're like, y'ch. Humans can be this way

and not that we're that way yet, but you know there's people that think that way. Oh yeah. So then it's like, please don't let them be in charge. Let's vote. Should Eddie and Morgan number two

watch Handmaidstale? Yes. Yes. We don't want to. And listen, here's the thing. I'm going to throw you guys a bone. It is a show that you should. Yes, you should.

What did I have to do for homework recently? Oh yeah. Watch a movie in another language. We all had to do watch some of the movie. No, you didn't have to watch subtitles. Amy, I'd take your movie over the beach. I guarantee it. The beach was horrendously bad.

All right, we got to go. I appreciate you guys. I like hanging out with y'all right now. I know. You guys are fun. I got to go. I'm in Oregon, so I got to go do my deal. I got to go work back to my other job.

Thank you. Have a wonderful day. Have a wonderful weekend. Here's Friday's show. Hope you enjoy it. Some real fun we had today. something like Yoda But

Fun, you have to do. Fun, you have to do. But you've never seen Star Wars. Yeah, but I know the Yoda references. I watch Handmaid. Don't be a douche. I've already seen Star Wars. The first half of the first one.

Watch all of them and I'll watch two episodes of Handmaids to. Okay, Keith at me. Come on. Don't cook. All right, thank you. Here's Friday show. Bye.

Welcome to Friday show More Studio Morning Big show today We will do The CMA Olympics Today Eddie, our video guy

Morgan number one Our former executive producer will square off to play for the CMA trophy go between two people. So we'll do the SMA Olympics. There'll be trivia. There'll be a talent portion and

they'll be, they have to read their speech if they win. Okay. Over on the phone is Jennifer in Boston right now. Jennifer, how are you? Good morning to you, Jennifer. Good morning. I wanted to thank you so much for talking about going to

therapy because I think the more people talk about it it takes away the stigma and someone in your position can really reach a lot of people. Well, thank you for that. I have found in the past few years, and I've been going to therapy on and off since I realized that my insurance will pay for most of it. Frankly, I never knew what therapy was from a small town in Arkansas. We didn't have therapy. But when my insurance was like, hey, you can go to therapy, I was like, oh, how about that?

Tried it, felt it was good for me. Found a new therapist that I'm currently working with now. but I just find that if I'm going to work on my physical health, why would I not work on my mental health? Like they kind of roll right alongside each other to be a healthy being. And we're taught not to worry about our mental health as much. And so I'm trying to make sleep a priority. I'm doing these things now just for my mental well-being,

and one of them is going to therapy. I appreciate that, though, Jennifer. Thanks for calling in and sharing that with me because that makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I'm kind of chasing the right rabbit, you know? Oh, I think it's fantastic that you talk about it. Do you go to therapy? Are you a therapist? I am not a therapist, and I do not currently go to therapy, but I have been in the past, and both my kids are in therapy, and I just think promoting mental well-being is such a good thing.

All right, well, thank you for the call. Also, while I'm at it, let me... Have a great day, too. Appreciate that. let me suggest for your mental well-being, a book called Fail Until You Don't by me. Bobby, you said it's a promo. You know, I go to a love therapist, a relationship therapist. Yeah.

We do talk about a lot of love and the one. Do you believe in soulmates? Oh, no, I never have. Mm-mm. No, because I think that one of my boyfriends I probably could have married. I mean, I feel like you find people that you are in love with. that you could spend the rest of your life with, but I don't know that it's just like one soulmate.

I just look at the math of it and go, what are the odds that my soulmate, if there is one, happens to be in the same city that I'm in. And then I meet them. They could be in India. I never even have a chance to meet her or in Bangladesh. But are the odds that I'm in the possible?

Yeah. If there's just like one soul that you're searching for, most people wouldn't meet it. So I was reading this whole article where experts say anyone can be the one. not anyone that soulmates don't actually exist again do you think there's a single person on earth one single person that you're supposed to find and somehow

find them and settle down earth's pretty big like I said Bangladesh couldn't even point to it on a map maybe they're there and so it's statistically impossible they say it's not about finding the person it's about finding the right person someone that you share common interest and ideals with I told you that my therapist I was like hey what's like she was talking about the scientific

the chemicals that are released when you fall in love And it's basically just a fog. Like these chemicals come out when you fall in love that make you want to procreate. That's what science is here to do, make us have babies. That's what Mother Nature does. Continue making babies. Civilization lives on. And she's like, what happens is that fog eventually goes away like any fog.

And if you don't have a best friend there, that you don't have a relationship. All of that. Like, ah, it's so hot. It goes away. So why would you chase that in order to be with someone forever? Like, if you're just chasing, ah, so hot. Like, do that and then get out. But don't chase that and get married because of the fog.

And so what, because, you know, there's chemical imbalances in people. Just shoot shots of these specific chemicals that make you tell that way. Right. So sometimes like if you're, you have something blocking your chemicals. She thinks that I've blocked them over years and years and years of going, well, can't let that affect me because that's not real. Can't chase that. She's like, you need to let it up a little bit. You need to love pill. She compares it to a water hose, putting your thumb over the water hose.

She's like, all you got to do is let off just a little bit. Just a little, just a little water come through. you'll see it's not so bad. She goes, you don't have to take your whole thumb off the water hose. You don't need to flood yourself. Would you explain to her you're kind of an all or nothing kind of guy? Oh, she knows. Okay.

Yeah, she's got. She's getting a handle on that. She's got that. Also, they talk about how definitions of the one change because you grow, you evolve, what you want to partner, it changes. And sometimes you go with a partner, then all of a sudden, 10 years later, you're like, oh, we're just definitely not the same person anymore. So you have to grow also together at the same time as you're both growing separately.

and the one could be somebody completely different 10 years from now. So I'm going to wait for like 20 more years. When you're done growing. I have a joke in my stand-up act that I do now. I may have mentioned on the show where I go to the point of everybody asking my cutoff age. I'm 39. I'm single. Everybody asks my cut-off age and it's been a long time.

I finally figured out what my cut-off age is. It's 72. And then everyone laughs and I'm like, you know, and she's not really robbing the cradle. She knows who she is. You know, that's pretty well. I mean, I feel like, yeah. you know what you're getting. Like 72, you know.

Yeah, you know. You know. No surprises. No surprises. Here's the Bobby Bones show podcast. Highlight segment of the day. So I guess lunchbox had a little drama at the restaurant that him and his wife go to. Yeah, it's one of our favorite restaurants.

And we go there quite often. And so we were at the grocery store the other day. And one of the waiters that works there. It sees you. Sees us at the grocery store and comes up and goes, oh my gosh, I'm a huge fan. I see you come into the restaurant all the time. But I've never said anything. and the other day you were in there.

Because they probably shouldn't, by the way. Right. Like rules at a restaurant as a wait at tables. It doesn't matter if it's the mailman that you see all the time. You're really just supposed to be the server and not the fan, right? Correct. And he said, you've never sat in my section. So when you paid with your credit card, I ran over the other waiter and got your receipt just so I could know your name.

Like your real name, which is like. He admitted that to you? Yes, he just said that. And I don't know if he was just excited to meet me and he wanted to have a story to tell. And I was just like, whoa, that's kind of crossing the line in my eyes. And so after he walked away, I told my wife, I was like, well, I guess we can't go back to that restaurant. Really? What?

Your name's everywhere. Why? I understand that, but I just thought it was weird that he went and grabbed the receipt. But your name is Lunchbox on the radio? Do you not think if people had the opportunity to know your real name, they would? Is that weird? I think it's weird to go over and take the receipt from the, because he's not my server. If he was my server, I get it.

But he made sure he cornered the other server. Hey, let me see the receipt. I want to see his real name. I don't really have a problem with that. Oh, you don't have a problem with that. I don't. Oh. Maybe I'm overreacting.

I don't have a problem with it, I guess. I mean, I would still go back, especially if it's my favorite restaurant. And I'm going to let that determine. Yeah, I mean, people. Who cares? I don't, yeah. So what everyone else knows. We've had to.

It's public. It's on your credit card. You give it to the person at the gas station. Yeah. I get that. It's on your CMA trophy, right? That's true. When they announced the CMA Awards, they put your own name on there. It's on our Wikipedia page.

I just found it strange that he went over and got my receipt from the other waiter. I thought that was an invasion of privacy. But it's public. Right. No, if he would have Googled it or whatever, fine. But the fact that he went and got the secure receipt that is supposed to be between me and the waiter. It's not like a therapy appointment. Like... What would really freak me out?

What if he went over and got my credit card to look at my credit card? Then that's different. He was just trying to know like, like, it's not like he went over. You would have your receipt on the table. You leave the receipt on your table when you leave. Just open, like, I'm leaving the receipt for whomever wants it. Somebody, anybody can grab it. I always turn it upside down.

But it's still there. Okay. Weird or nah? Amy. Nah. Because I can tell you weird. Like, weird would be if he... Is it happened to you?

No, I'm just thinking of a weird, what would be weird. He looked your food before you take it out so he could be a part of you. He worked at a business where somehow he had. had access to your address and then he mailed you a letter. That's weird. Yeah. Like this is not that... Right.

This isn't that weird. Like, he hasn't crossed the line yet. Weird or nah. So nah. I'm going, Eddie, my only thing is what else could he have done? But he didn't. He didn't. What else could anybody do?

Well, he just, all he told him was that he looked up his name. And he didn't have to, by the way. All right. I mean, I really, when it comes down to, I say nah. No big deal. Weirder nah. We got one now. We got two now.

Morgan number two? I'm saying, yeah, it's weird. When I was a server, I would have never done that even if I really wanted to. That just feels like a violation for me personally, like morals ethics code kind of thing. I would have to look to somebody's public receipt. I would have a big problem. I would say, nah, it's not weird. Would you have told the person about it?

No, that's weird. The weird part is he told you about it. Right, then it makes me feel uncomfortable. The weird part is he was like, I got a story to tell you. Of every story, you could have told. Because I'm going to tell you, we should get a lot of cool stories. You could have been like, well, but like, hey, guess who Keith Urban came in? But yeah, I thought that, I thought that's the weird part.

But yeah, sometimes, we've had instances. I remember one time I'm at my house, and on the door I hear, just a loud, dominant, boom, boom, boom, boom. And I'm like, wow, who remembers that the door means business? So I walk over to the door and I had one of those openers where you can open up just to the face and see who it is. Like a peephole, but a large peephole, you can actually move the wood part of the door back. So I open it up, and it's two people in suits. And I'm like, what is happening? And they go, and they drop their badges.

They're like to open it like they're like hey not the FBI but they were the IRS Have you ever heard this story Morgan too? No I haven't told this one a long time I think that they were the FBI yeah they were oh you're right they were the I no no one was FBI one was IRS okay one was IRS yeah it's a one FBI one IRS and the one The one that dropped the first is IRS and they come into my house and they say hey we have some some news for you and ask some questions And I'm going okay I just got by the way just got pulled into an office like weeks earlier about the CIA for something else that happened. So I'm already a little on tilt.

And they go, well, you have a listener that works for the CIA. The IRS. Sorry, you have all the letters are messing me up right now. Thank you. Who works for the IRS, who has logged into all of your account stuff. Who knows who you are, found your, logged in, stole everything from your account. It was like looking through, we don't know if she was taking it.

And she goes, and not only that, it didn't just happen to you, but because of you, she went to your girlfriend, at the time my girlfriend, Amy, and then they said maybe some other people too. Went to mine. Yeah, because we had FBI meetings too. Like agents, I lived in North Carolina at the time, and agents contacted me.

They came to my house and I was like, because Bobby calling and goes, hey, there may be some two agents on the way to your house. I'm like, shut up. And sure enough, 10 minutes later, knock, knock, knock. And there they were.

And I was like, oh my gosh. So she worked for the IRS? Yeah. Not the girl who was at the door. But the person who did it? So she got into all of my stuff and then tracked them through me. But she wasn't, she did not have, whatever she did not have permission to be in that. So she got flagged from her computer.

Luckily, they tracked this stuff. Like she was in territory she shouldn't have been in and it sent red flags throughout the company or the IRS or wherever she worked. And then eventually it led to an investigation, which they could see everybody she had searched. And it was basically anybody that was associated with Bobby at the time. The Bobby tree was all infiltrated. Yeah. So it's basically like the waiter. No.

Not really. Not yet. I mean, but God, that was such a... And we all... The thing is when it happened, we all were like, oh my gosh, I know who that is. Oh, we knew it was. We knew it was.

We knew it was. Because, like... She'd come to events. What? Yeah. I knew it was immediately. They were like, well, they showed me pictures of her. I was like, oh, that's, I know her.

She cups and stuff. Yeah. One time, I'm at work, and we're on the air, and agents show up. This is prior. Cops. And our boss comes. goes, you got to get off the air, and I was on the air. And I was like, wait, what?

You get off the air right now. And I'm going, all right, shut it down. It was during the show. They paper up a room with glass on the walls. It's funny, Morgan never tells me any of these stories. Eddie, I don't know if you either. I don't know this one. They take me into a room where they have papered the walls,

and they go, have you threatened the president of the United States? And I started in my head going, oh, God, what did I say? I started thinking I said something stupid as a joke. I wouldn't do that, but I'm like, no, no, not at all. and they show me this thing that was written on the internet from me, supposedly. And it's pretty brutal toward President Obama. Wasn't me, obviously. But they didn't tell me that they knew it wasn't me for like 20 minutes

as they were just, I mean, they were hitting me hard. So they did that to you? They were like, they knew it was. They had a feeling it wasn't me because they were like, do you know if this is you, we could send you to Amazon and on and on and on. I cracked. I'm surprised you didn't crack. I'd admit to do a lot of things.

it wasn't that. It's like first 48, man. At the end, they said, well, we didn't feel like it was you, but we had to come and exhaust every possibility. So somebody like impersonating you on the internet? Yeah, then they went and got him. He was living around Rock, Texas, and he was on a message board riding. Crazy.

What? Some of these stories just come back into my, we've had a lot of crap happened to us. A lot of crap happened to me. I had to move because people, listener, I don't assume it was. listeners were sending pizzas to my house. I mean, I got jumped outside of the front of the building. When you goes, Bobby, I got a gun in my head. I got my house broken into.

So love this job. It's a wild, wild world. Love our listeners. Wild world. One time I got an email from a listener with a Google image shot of my house. And this is right around the same time as the pizzas. And my husband was like, that's it. We're moving.

Like, done with this. But, and then I got an email with a, like a Google image snapshot. It was like, this is your house. I know where you live. And then at that point, too, I had gotten a letter in my mailbox from a neighbor. They said they were a neighbor. I don't know. But they put it up in my mailbox and listened to the show.

And it was like... Well, the point is, when lunchbox's waiter did, not that weird. In comparison to the other stuff that's happened to us. So... Are you going back to the restaurant yesterday? No, I feel violent. Which restaurant was it? I mean, you know what I'm saying.

But tell me. I know. Tell me. I want to know.

from a cleaning product to Buffalo Wild Wings. In other news, Arctic Blast is set to send temperatures below 20 degrees across the East Midwest next week with lows of 14 in Chicago forecasters are saying.

The Bobby Boneshow. All right, let's dig down into Morgan No. 2's dating life. She's 26 years old. Been single for how long? It's been about a year. How do you like it? I don't mind being single. I enjoy it. But I do

want to share my life with somebody, so I'm not ready to date. So what are you doing to fix that? Well, I'm on dating apps. How many dating apps? There's three that I'm on. And I'm on them and then I'll delete them and I'll get back on them. And then I'm just always open for it.

Like when I go out in public, I make an intention to stay off my phone. So in case somebody, you know, may catch my eye or whatever, I try to make a point of doing that. So I'm very just open all the time. Okay. So what does a. guy have to do in order to get you to go on a first date? Well, I mean, it's, it's obvious that we both have to be attracted to each other. That's just a given. But besides that, it's really not hard.

It's just kind of their personality, how it comes across after that, you know, like, are they funny? Are they interested? But the biggest thing is, like, them putting in the effort. So if I, if I hit on a guy, though, like if I, you know, DM a guy or if I go after them first and I make that, move and then they never pursue it, then I just give up because, like, I've already tried. So, I guess just, like, being consistent in actually wanting to go on the date. For a first date. Yeah. They can't just be like, hey, it's a fun conversation.

Let's go on a date. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. But that just doesn't happen very often. So. And when you say hit on, this is always a weird, touchy term for me. Because hit on to me feels like when somebody goes, hey, you hit on her. I feel, that feels creepy.

Is hit on a creepy term to you? I mean, maybe it is. Define the hit on, though, because... I mean, I guess it's more of a hit on if you're like, hey, like, you're attractive, I want to go out with you. I guess if it's more of like a kind of a friend way of like, hey, we should grab dinner sometime. Maybe it's not a hit on. Okay, but hit on if you're like commenting on what they look like. I love your eyes.

But hit on in general, just to you is not a negative term. No, I don't take it that way. To me, it feels like because one time, this... It's been a while now. This girl was like, yeah, Bobby hit on me. And I was like, wait a minute, I don't hit on anybody. So it's like dating. It's all defined differently.

Yeah, I mean, I guess you could take hit on as maybe a little more aggressive. And so what are people telling you? Everybody's telling me to stop looking for love and it'll just find me. And I, maybe that used to be the thing, you know, like when my parents were dating or whatever. But that's just not the culture anymore. I don't feel like because people have so many options. They can go to Instagram. They can go to dating apps.

They can find it in real life. life, people are looking all the time now. So I feel like stopping looking doesn't really work either. I never understood the philosophy of just stop looking and it'll happen. Really? Yeah. Nothing happens if you just stop. Nothing happens.

Oh, love does. No, it doesn't. It's going to happen regardless if you're looking or not looking. You stopping isn't going to do anything positive. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes, but you did notice you say either if you do it or not, it's still going to happen. Either way. So that's important.

Either way you do it. If you believe in that. Yes, correct. If you believe in some sort of destiny, I do not. Right. I believe that you have to go out and work for everything that you get. I don't even really believe in luck so much. I believe the little things affect luck.

So my theory is completely different anyway. I don't believe things are destined to happen. So I don't believe that you can just chill and let it happen. If you're someone who believes in that, though, maybe that. Do you believe in that? The things are just going to happen, how they're going to happen regardless? I used to. That used to be a thing for me, but as I've gotten older, I just don't see that happening.

You know, when I sit at home for the whole weekend, I'm not meeting anybody. No, but if you don't do anything, they'll come to your door. That's what I'm saying. And you know what? A salesman did come to my door and that still didn't happen for me. Well, so you're at the frustration point of... It's just I don't even know what to do. I'm putting myself out there.

And sometimes I don't put myself out there. So I don't know what to do anymore. I'm just kind of, I guess, existing. You can switch up your way of meeting people. meaning you could, it's not doing nothing, but it's just doing different things. Like you could volunteer, you could get in a group of friends and places.

So again, people would say that as though you've quit looking, but no, you've actually just taken that energy and put it somewhere else. Because if you keep doing the same thing over and over again, you just expect the same result over and over again. If you only stand dating apps and go to Aldine's bar, all you're going to get is the same thing over and over again. This is true.

I have thought about volunteering. It doesn't have to be that. It can be whatever. It can be taking classes. It can be a different route to go running. It could be going to a gym at a different hour. How do you like go up to people though? I don't ask me, I'm the worst.

I'm going to tell you how. Are you ready? I haven't figured out now. You get on Instagram and you send a message and you go, hey, we're looking at your profile. We have X in common. How is it going? That's it. That's it.

I talk to anybody. But you don't do that in person? God, no. Nobody wants me to walk up to them? No. Never. I don't give up in the hopes that it'll find me. Sometimes I just give up because I'm tired.

That's how I feel. It's so exhausting trying to date and to find something. I also am at the point now where I'm going, maybe I'm just not supposed to be with anybody. Well, that's you just, okay. I mean, maybe you're not, but you can't have that attitude. I can have whatever attitude I want.

This is America. I love America. America doesn't have whatever attitude you want. Okay. But I don't believe in that. Just stop working and things will happen. I don't believe in it. So I don't know where your heart falls,

but I say you keep working toward it. You can change how you work. You're working in different ways. Otherwise, keep doing the same thing and get same results over and over again. That's true. But then it goes back to what you said. I'm just exhausted.

And then I have to do more things to find somebody. Are you kidding me? A lot of it, what I found out of the work that you have to do isn't even on that situation. It's on yourself. And that's what I've been trying to do.

I've been putting a lot of work back into me because then I think if I'm a little tink, tink it out, it's easy for me to actually go out and find something. So I'm in therapy so much right now. It'll pay off. So that's the work maybe for you. And you're going to therapy?

She goes to therapy, yeah. I mean, she's putting in the work. I'm not saying she's not putting in the work. I'm saying that maybe that's the work right now and then what you work a bit more to be easier. I'm not saying she's not working over there. Oh, I know. I was just reiterating that she's working.

No, you were yelling at me aggressively. You said that's why I'm going to therapy. I was not yelling at you aggressively. Guys, aggressive? Aggressive. Aggressive. Thank you. self rude

All right, hang in there, Morgan number two When's the last time you want on a date? Oh, man, I don't even know. That's, yeah. I'll send some your way, Morgan number two, don't worry. From where? Probably a few months. I mean, it's been a while.

That's not true. No, because the dentist. The dentist guy? So probably a month. One month. Okay, fine, a week. And do you get DMs alive from random people? I was for a while.

It kind of stalls and, yeah, whatever, it goes back. Well, just put on your Instagram, you're hoping for business. Well, I wouldn't say you're like a tackle and bait shop. Yeah. I just say, just keep at it. Okay, I will. Take a break if you need to.

But don't believe that anything in your life is going to happen differently for you if you stop working. That's not how life works. And anything. Job, family, dating. Nothing in life goes, well, I'm just going to stop and it'll work. Well, when everybody keeps telling me to stop looking, I'm going to reference you.

Great. You're like, he hasn't stopped. Look how good he's doing. Yeah, exactly. You're taking advice from the worst date or in the world. All right, there you go. Thank you guys. This is the Bobbi Monso. There he is.

What up, buddy. Bobby Bone. How are you? How are you? How are you? I'm pretty good. You know, I wanted to bring you on and talk a little bit about this tour that you're doing and play some of your new music.

Kind of explain to me and to our audience what you're doing right now. Yeah, so we're on a tour. It's called The Hometowns Tour, and this is Gracie and I was 50 years doing it. And started five years ago. We just got an old camper and put in an outfit video. said, hey, we're going on a trip, and if anyone wants to host us for the night, and we'll play a concert for you, send us an offer, send us an invitation. And then we sorted through all those, and we ended up going on a big adventure. We thought it might be a seven-day tour the first year, and it turned into five years of fun adventures.

So what's the smallest show you've ever played? Oh, man, I think on the first tour, we played at this guy's Hunting Lodge in Minnesota. and I mean when I say hunting a lot it was a shit really it was a one room deal and it was really cold and I think I think eight people showed up

and tell me a little bit about this song called Push because that's the one I want to play man thank you so much you know I've written a lot of love songs songs about falling in love and this is the kind of song that you know coming in seven years of marriage

it's about staying in love and fighting for the person you love and having each other's backs So it's really close to my heart. It's a kind of a song that comes out of those like late night conversations, just, you know, fighting each other's battles. It is the first song off the upcoming album called Blue Jeans, which comes out in January.

This is Steve Mochler, and here is his song called Push. Steve, got to talk to you, bud. Great to talk to you too, Bobby. Thanks so much. See you, Steve.

With lunchbox. Tell me something good. 89-year-old Carl Marshall has lived in this town since 1941. He was a park ranger. Well, a year ago, he had to move out of his house. He's been living with friends because it just, I guess, fell apart. You know, little thing here, a little thing there. Next thing you know, it's unlivable.

He's so loved in the community, though. they got together, donated materials, cash, and the whole community went and fixed up his house, and Carl can move back in for his birthday. That's crazy. Love it. Your whole town comes together for you. That's awesome.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobid Bones Show. Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes up to us from New York. A 31-year-old man's driving down the road, and he felt like the car cut him off,

so he pulls up next to him, honk, starts screaming, and he doesn't get the reaction he wants, doesn't intimidate him enough. So what's he do? Reach under the seat and points a gun at him. Only problem is a car full of undercover officers. Oh, man.

They were in plain clothes, pulled him over, and arrested him. Yeah, and you probably get some real jail time for that. Yeah, he's facing possession of a firearm and menacing. I don't know what that means, but he's held on $25,000 bond. My friend Dennis got that. Dennis is minutes. What? Mm-hmm.

All right. There you go. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. The Bobby Bone Show. All right, we're going to play a music game. Me, Amy, Lunchbox, Eddie, are all playing. Raymondo, how does the game work?

It is country songs. We put a bleep in there for the number. You're going to tell us what that number is. Okay, so is there an example song? Yeah, if you want one. All right, here we go. Oh, my gosh. It's an example, though.

Yeah. That should be hard. 14th. 13th. I don't know. What would it be? Okay, no point. But this is going to be tough, guys.

But it gives me hope that I'm good at this. Okay. That's what the examples always do. They always make you feel good, and then they play the real game. It's impossible. It's so, like we waste the good ones on the example. I didn't know that one, if I'm being honest. Okay, let's play the number.

The numbers bleeped out in the country song. What is this country song, Ray Mundo, that we're doing next? This one is Eric Church Spring Scene. All right, here we go. I can still hear the sound. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in for the win.

Pretty good. Yeah, I think about 17. 17. Yeah. 17, guys. It's 17. All right. Let's go with the next one up.

This morning I got up a I walked down. Oh, gosh. I mean, I know. I feel like Dirk's his study wakes up at like five. This morning I got up a shit. Think about it. This sounds, you gotta be rising.

No, no, no, no. That's not what I'm thinking about, though. What do you think about? One more time, Ramundo. This morning I got up a . . Okay, I think I have it. And when I tell you how I figured it out, you guys are going, oh.

All right. Amy. 6 a.m. No. What? No, it is. You're close, but it's not. What is it?

Hold on. Lunchbox. Amy, you're close. It's seven. I'm going with my heart. For some reason, I heard 3 a.m. Okay. But the sun doesn't rise at 3 a.

You're missing it. Listen to the rhyme, okay? This morning I got it. Ba'ba bun, da-da, da-da, the rising sun. So it has to be something, oh, one. Oh, it was like 601. I think it's 601. Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God's already going to be up. Why would Dirk's do that to us? But the rhyme is. Nobody wakes up at 6.0. Play it. Got up at 6.01. Oh!

I thought he said. It was just a rhyme. It was just a rhyme. Because he could go, 6-0. No, we did it. And the raisins. I didn't know that. I just had to contact a clue that one.

Okay, well, I was close. All right, next up. Johnny's daddy was taking him fish and he was so. I'm in. Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, lunche boss struggling. There's one and two options. Is there?

Yeah, I think so. Amy? Five. Lunchbox? Nine. Everybody's caller nine. A number that people take, and it's why I didn't pick nine. It was either going to be nine or five, and we take nine sometimes.

I don't think it's nine. Call her number nine. I think it's five. I'm with Amy. I think it's five. I thought it was nine. Go ahead. I thought we made fun.

Yeah, because, yeah, we do call her nine a lot. I don't think I've ever said, call her five. Okay. One more to go. By the way, we're bleeping out. the numbers and country songs. Here we go. You say you'll be down in

Go ahead, number one. So Trader Joe's hides a stuffed animal in most of its stores. If your child finds it, they get a prize. A Trader Joe's employee revealed this on Reddit and a PR director of Trader Joe's confirmed that it's definitely a thing. Who know? By the way, two things. One, that's really.

cool. Had no idea. Now that it's a story, people will start looking for the Easter egg in Trader Joe's, which is a stuffed animal. Yeah, and at Trader Joe's, they have those little baskets for kids, like they have the adult size shopping carts, and then they have little miniature ones for kids, which is cute and awesome and all, but it's also like a hot mess with, like, Stevenson always wants one, and he's like trying to drive around and ram him and I have to keep him under control. They're very kid friendly there. I like it, but you also have to be prepared for a kid to ram into the back of you. Okay. A follow-up to that is, what's the stuffed animal?

Can someone else take us to the animal hide it and act like that it's a traitor Joe? Unless they start identifying exactly what the stuffed animal is, this could also go haywire. Okay. My other thing is I've never been to Trader Joe's. Never. So I think of some of our audience who Trader Joe's,

I believe is a regional grocery store. It is, but it's growing. But I see where, yeah, definitely some of our people don't have it. Never been to Trader Joe's myself. What was the regional store that you grew up around? Because for me, I'll throw a couple at you. Pigly Wiggly. Yeah.

Love the pig. Safeway, not even sure if that exists anymore, at least where I am the old Safeways or there's something else. Food for less. Those were the ones where I grew up in Arkansas. You? H.E.B. All the way, through and through. Any other regional ones? Apple tree, but I don't know if that's still around.

Oh, I remember Apple Tree. Yeah, Apple Tree. Even, I don't even know why my mom sometimes would have to go to Apple Tree because we would always go to H.E.B. It would have to be maybe they were out of something or we were just driving by the apple tree. What was about South Texas? We had Valley Mart down in the very tip of South Texas And that was very regional because it was only in the valley It's called Valley Mart

So we're covering our base there Mike and Eddie are from Well no Mike you're not from South Texas Lunchbox and Amy are from Austin Morgan number two You're from Kansas what were yours Yeah one of them was Dillans Which is basically the other version of Kroger

So she's a smaller one too Kroger's all over where we live too By the way So Dillins Ramundo Michigan what was yours It was a small town It was Larry's

It's probably just one store Literally a guy named Larry owned it. I think his name was Larry. Yeah, yeah, I would think so. I did see a Pickley-Wiggly the other night, a really small one on the east side of town. It's near where Amy lives. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah. Amy, what else you got? So working military dogs are non-commissioned officers, and they're always one rank above their human handlers. I'm trying to know that. That's so cool. And it made me think of when we lost President George H.W. Bush, George Bush Sr.

And his dog at his funeral laying by him. That, I mean, yeah, that dog, I don't know. Did he rank higher than the president? I don't know if there's higher. But he's the president of dogs, so that will be cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's the first dog. Okay, so speaking of presidents,

before he became president, Abraham Lincoln was a wrestling champion. He fought in nearly 300 matches and lost only one. What? Yeah, UFC won. He fought Ken Shamrock. That means he won 299 matches. Was it a hold?

How did he win? Yeah, yeah, he tapped out. All right, give me a story, Amy. Well, I have one more fun fact. It's so good. It's on a high note. Jim Cummings is the voice of Winnie the Pooh, and he calls sick kids in hospitals

and chats with him in character. Oh, that's cool. It's me, poo. It's poo. That's good. Thank you. All right, what else? Okay, so moving on to the stories.

Instagram is contributing to a rise in yoga-related injuries, and here's what's happening. Like teachers are wanting to do moves that look really cool. Yoga teachers are. You're trying out different moves in class that look cool on Instagram. So then students are therefore also following this trend and for posting and social media. And it's just leading to all kinds of issues

because your body may not be able to do exactly. It takes a lot of training to get to do certain poses. And then boom, you're trying to up your game for the gram. and you get hurt. How do you feel about people calling you the gram? I just did it. I know, but how do you feel about that?

I felt a little like, why did I just say that? But I went with it. I wasn't judging you. I just wonder how we feel about people calling it if they're going to do something for the gram. Well, tell me now, so I know if I need to not ever do that again. I'm torn. I did it for the Graham.

Because I felt like you weren't doing it to be super cool. I'm torn. I was saying it almost because it's like people were doing it to impress on Instagram, and I feel like you're doing it for the Graham when you did that. I felt like it went with the story. Morgan, number two, how do you feel about it when people call it the gram? I say it.

Oh, see? But it's only in certain situations where it's, like, kind of trendy. Like that one? Yeah. Like most of the time I'll refer to it as Instagram, but in a certain situation, I'll be like, oh, yeah, I was on the gram, like really casually throw it in there. Okay, so as long as you're not shouting about the gram. Not like every day.

Yeah. Oh, I just posted it the gram. Okay. I'm also torn on it. I'm like 51-49, no, but I can be shifted. Okay, what else? So meditation, really? are becoming more and more popular at work.

Like offices like Apple, Google, HBO, Nike, they're offering employees' meditation spaces and even classes free of charge while employees are at work. They can take time to go. It's almost like instead of a smoke break, you get your meditation break. But overall, they see it makes people happier,

healthier, more creative. There's less stress. And if there's a clarity that does help you be more productive, I do see where it's an investment for them as well. I think that's fantastic. Yeah. Place is putting in gyms. Yeah.

We had a gym here? Put one in? Yeah, not putting a gym here. I barely have an office. What? You like own gyms, put one here. You can touch all the walls in my office just by reaching out. Amy, is that what's up?

Yes, that is my pile. I will say this too. I did watch the first episode of Running Wild with Bear Grills. Oh, yeah. And it was with Captain Marvel. It's good. Bree Larson. I've already seen my episode, and obviously I'm a little biased because I love Bear Grills.

just be able to meet him and hang out. Just fantastic. But the episode was really good. And just watching that channel, too, is fantastic. I haven't spent a whole lot of time over there unless that's a show I want to go watch and never just sit on Nat Geo. Nat Geo, okay. But the shows are so, like, high quality, like shows.

There aren't any housewise fighting. I like that. It's not those kind of shows. It's really great. So I did watch that first episode. A lot of people were asking me if I'd seen it. And Nat Geo is also going to Disney Plus, too. So pretty cool.

My episode will be in. in January. And I said it in that tone in a weird tone so you would listen. It will be in January. Do we, January what again? I don't know the date exactly. If you want to say I'll send it to you. We don't know the exact date. Do you want to send you the link? We know, yeah. You want to watch it Amy? Yeah. Y'all watched it on the bus at St. Jude or

Bobby was or something, but I wanted to peek, but it was giving you your space. Okay, I'll send you the link. All right, there you go. That's Amy's Pile. Thank you. That was Amy's Pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Something good. Okay, so this idea is genius

and maybe others that work at hospitals and maybe like, oh, we could do this too because there's this group of nurses at Tampa General Hospital and they are making sleeping bags for the homeless out of sterile wrap used to protect surgical instruments. Now, the great part about this

is the sterile wrap conserves heat and is waterproof and they're making it into sleeping bags for the homeless. And that's great, especially during the winter or colder months or when it's raining, The fact that these are waterproof and conserve heat, I just love it. And so far, they've made 100 sleeping bags, and they hope to collect more of the stuff,

whip up a few more. It's a group of nurses that just got together. So maybe if you can do this at your hospital, that would be fun. Yeah, good on them. I'm looking at a picture of it now. It looks like they're explaining it to some dumb man who doesn't get it. The pictures of them, the three nurses are like, look, guy. And he's like, I don't get it.

I'm a dumb man. That's a good story. Nice. That was Tell Me Something Good. Folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby Bones. Let's go. Transmitting across America.

This is the Bobby Bones show. Right over to Amy for the Morning Corny. Let's do it. The Morning Corny. How did the pilgrims bring their cows to America? Okay. In Thanksgiving fashion, how did the pilgrims bring their cows to America? On the moo flower.

You get it? Get it. Mayflower? Moe flour. Did they bring cows, though, for real? I don't know. It's a joke. Like, come on. That was the morning corny.

Do you think I can say what award I'm presenting yet? You already have. No, I haven't. No, he hasn't. Oh, you didn't? Oh, okay. Because they don't know. I know I get lost too because we talk about everything on the air.

It feels like it's sometimes I forget. Do they tell you? Like, hey, don't say this. No, but I don't know really the rules. Okay. But I'll say this. The award I'm presenting rhymes with. Shmabom of the year.

I didn't say it. Wish I could rhyme. And I still don't know what you're talking about. And I would know what it is. Yeah, yeah. For you non-rhymers. Yeah, it sucks for you. So, one of the guys up

for Schmalbom of the year and one of the guys up for entertainer of the year, both is Eric Church. Now, we weren't able to get Derek on the show or Eric on the show today, but we were able to get Derek Church, who's his long-lost brother. Have you met Derek Church before?

Yeah, I mean, I know of him. But I don't know that I've met him in person. Yeah. Give me some Eric Church, in case our listeners aren't familiar with the chief. Derek Church is here, Eric's long-lost brother. They're coming up next week. Hey, Derek, how are you? Hey, how are you?

Oh, you sound just like your brother. We're brothers. How do you feel about Eric being up for entertainer of the year? Well, man, life ain't about awards, you know. Eric does it for the art. He's always been the chief in my heart, you know what I mean? And you're okay with you being the long-lost brother while he's out in front? Sure, I mean, I'm the brains behind the family

If he's the chief, what are you? I'm the Indian All right Will you walk the red carpet with him? No, man, I don't do red carpets Oh They make you take your shades off Oh, you don't want to be

What? You're cool, you don't want to take your shades off No, no, I got bad cataracts Oh, yeah Got it, all right What will you wear to the awards? The usual ball cap You know, shades, favorite t-shirt

Says keep on trucking Oh A necklace with a baby shark tooth on it Oh, okay. Okay. Derek Church is on Eric's Long Lossed Brother. You were a baby shark tooth? Like the animal? No, like the YouTube song. You know what I'm talking about?

How did that go? Baby Shark Tootoo, do. Oh, oh. What do you do? We don't hear a lot about you. Are you a songwriter? Have you written any songs with your brother, Eric Church? That's right. I'm a songwriter. Yeah, I wrote the Woos in Springsteen. Oh, that's what you wrote.

Yeah, I sure did. How did those go? You're sitting in a room and what do you kind of pitch out in the room? What happened was I stubbed my toe on a coffee table in the recording studio and I said, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And the next thing you know, we had the whole song, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. So that was from you. That's right. And Eric said, I love that.

So you hurt your foot and you went, whoa, whoa, whoa. And they captured that. Right. Wow. They wanted me to record it, but I said, no, Eric, go ahead and do that. Isn't it funny how we talk about behind the song and these great stories come out? I know. Do you have an Instagram?

Oh, man. I stopped doing that stuff a long time ago. An Instagram? Yeah, I don't do that stuff. What are you talking about? Instagram. Oh, the pictures, thing? Social media.

Yeah. All right, no. Sorry about that. You don't, oh. Sorry about that. I thought you meant something else. No, man. Like, you know, where you post your pictures online?

No, sir. I'm never taking a picture in my life. Oh. No. Cameras, they rob you of your soul, you know. What? I think Derek's been smoking something. Derek Church is here.

If people want to find you, I know you got to go. You got a lot to do. Your brother's up for entertainer of the year, so we've got to let you get out of here. If people want to follow you, how do they find you? You can add me to LinkedIn. That same as LinkedIn.

Whatever. And are you looking for a job over there? You need a job. You need me to work and do that. All right. Thank you guys. Derek, good talk to you, bud. All right, thank you guys.

All right, there is Derek Church. There is. Eric Church's long lost brother. Wow. Wow. We really get him over here. Wow. There he is.

Morgan number one no longer works on the show She works with me over in a different part of my world Eddie still works with me in this show Correct But as we were putting in our submission for the CMA Eddie tells Morgan number one If we win, you can have my trophy. Yeah, I didn't think we were going to win, one, and two, I thought it was kind of a nice thing to say for her.

But you didn't mean it? I mean, I honestly didn't think we were going to win. Okay, so we won the CMA for Best Show Ever, right? And so we win, and then Eddie goes, you know, I don't want to give it to Morgan number one anymore. Now, Morgan number one, when he said that, how did you feel? I was kind of shocked because I thought Eddie was a man of his word, but apparently not. And he said it twice, right? He told me two times he was going to give me the trophy.

but hey, if you can sleep at night. So we have the trophy in the studio. Whomever wins this competition gets to keep the trophy. Let's play Battle for the CMA! Yeah. There are three rounds here. There's a talent round. You'll each have 15 seconds to perform your best talent.

Impersonations. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah. You thought I would do music. I'm not going to do. do music. I'm going to do impersonations. I love the voices that I do. I'm very confident in how well I do them. So that's what I'm going to do. All right. Whenever you start, the timer starts. First one, Forrest Gump. Ready? Go.

From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I was running. When I had to eat, I ate. When I got tired, I slept. And when I had to go, well, I win. All right. Okay. And there's my Luke Bryan.

Eddie, I give you a six. Oh, that's good. That's about five. All right.

Amy? I give him five. Okay. Lunch Fox? I gave him a seven. I thought he sounded just like Forrest Gump. Thanks, Lunchbox. Morgan number two? I'm going to go with six. Ramundo? Yeah, I did six. We've heard him before.

He still did him very well, though. Okay. A total cumulative score of 30. Yeah. There he is on his talent. What other impersonations did you have? Just Forrest Gump and Luke? Oh, I had my goofy of course.

But how many did you think you were going to get through? In 15 seconds. That's what I wondered. And then I had Bert Nernie. You did 13 seconds of Forrest Gung. Yeah, I kind of messed up. You should have done a montage. Like I gave you five because you spent too much time on Forrest Gump.

Like you did like four. Well, that was my strongest. I thought Forrest would be my strongest, but I didn't have time to do the rest of him. Okay. Okay, there he is. A total score of 30, Eddie. Yeah, baby. All right, Eddie, walk off the stage, please.

Tripecta. Well, Eddie. I mean, is that it? I'm sorry. You just lost. Did we do the third thing just for fun? The third of what? Then we have three categories just in case.

I mean, I can't win. I know. but just for fun. Can it be worth like triple points? You can do yours and we'll see if we should put you back in the competition. Okay. All right. You have 30 seconds to do your speech.

Go ahead, Eddie. Woo. Wow. I didn't expect to win this today. Thank you so much. First off, thank you to the CMA. Man, love you so much. God, a man upstairs.

Thank you. Bobby, I have to thank Bobby Bones. Man, without you, none of us would be here today. Thank you so much for believing in me. Amy, it's an honor every day to sit in the same. same room with you. You're such an inspiration to me with your kiddos and everything you do. Lunchbox, thank you for sucking at all the games, making me look good every day.

Morgan number two, you're a great web girl. Time. Oh, Riemundo. We love you, do. We love you. Thank you. Everyone. Good night.

Okay, that's your 30 second speech. Yeah. How about that? I mean, did you think it was any good? He didn't even think his wife and kids. Dang, I didn't think about that. I ran out of time. I even had a good quote.

It was the same thing with your 15 seconds. What's your quote? My quote at the end was going to be funny. I'm going to leave. you all with a good quote. Ask not what your country music can do for you, but what you can do for your country music. Thank you very much. I mean, you should have led with that. How do you run out of time on everything that you do? This is the problem with his life. Because he doesn't understand. I see it now. He has no concept of time. Well, let's let our champion

Morgan number one give her final 30 second speech because. I mean, and this is you holding up your real award. And you won the competition. You won this today. This is crazy. So, okay. So, Here she goes. 30 seconds whenever she starts. If you would have told 12-year-old Morgan that she'd be accepting this trophy, start over. Go ahead. If you would have told 12-year-old Morgan she'd be accepting this award today, she wouldn't have believed it. You know, I grew up watching the CMAs for my couch in my small hometown in my island, Tennessee.

And even though Nashville is just a couple hours up the interstate, it felt like a completely different world to me, one that I'd only ever get to see through a TV screen. So I really want to dedicate this to the kids out there listening that have a dream that they feel like they can't reach. because of where they're from. I'm proof that that's not true. Thank you guys. Thank you. In 28 seconds, too, Eddie.

Now, Eddie, you lost the competition. You have to give her your CMA award, the Big Glass Trophy, you promised. All right. I mean, I'm a man of my word. I want to have to do what I said I would do. This is the third time you've said it. Morgan, number one, congratulations.

There she is. Here's your CMA. There she is. You're a good man, Eddie. Thank you, thank you, everyone. And remember, ask not what your country music can do for you, but what you can do for your country music. There she is our champion, Morgan number one.

Right. Such a beautiful award. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. So this woman named Susan, she hit a suspected drunk driver with her car, and it saved the life for a couple people walking down the street.

Now, she did it on purpose. purpose, but that car ran a red light and she was coming across and it hits her car. And luckily, the people walking didn't get hit. Luckily, she didn't get hurt really bad and she had her kid and her mom with her in the car. The drunk driver was arrested, but all this video comes out and now the people at Carvana gave her a 2018 Chevy cruise to go, that stinks that happened to you. We're glad that you didn't get hurt and here's a car. Yeah. Wow. That's really cool. Carvona. Yeah. Shout out to them. They also threw in a new car seat for her son that was in and a family packed to Disneyland. Oh, wow. And apparently she blacked out and doesn't remember the moment when the car

happened. Golly. I mean, but yeah, if you think of hitting a car versus hitting people on foot, like the people on foot would have lost. Oh, yeah, they wouldn't be here. So it sucks that she had to get into a wreck, but everybody was okay. And everybody ended up okay. Right. Yeah. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A man fails a driving test 27 times. First of all, that's like SpongeBob. SpongeBob cannot pass the driving test on the show ever. He does it 100 times.

And so, if you don't watch SpongeBob, I guess it's not fine. I saw Mighty laugh. But that's the whole SpongeBob. There's so many episodes where he cannot pass the driver's test. And so he's 31 years old and a father. But he was so desperate, he paid $500 for an impersonator to take the test on his behalf. It didn't take long for the test center workers to figure it out since the guy didn't match the photo that you went in with?

And so the 31-year-old was given a 14-month suspended sentence for two years and 200-hour unpaid work order. So what, first of all, how hard is the driving test? Like 14-year-olds are passing it. Right. 16-year-olds are passing it. He's 31. But if you can't pass it,

they can't ever let him drive. Right. Now they can never give him a job. Never. By the way, Popeye says they're not pulling the chicken sandwich, period. You know, over the last couple days, there have been a lot of stories about because the lines, people got stabbed. So they're like, we're not pulling it because of the mayhem. Still don't have it.

I still don't have it. But when are people going to calm down and realize, I guess since they're not pulling it's going to be around? Like is it? Once people get it. Can we calm down and then? There's a lot of hype. People still want it.

People are standing in line. And when people stand in line, disrespect comes from when someone cuts you in line. And that's where a lot of this starts. Or someone cuts you off a parking spot. Like, that happened not because of the chicken sandwich, but because they got into a fight because somebody was disrespecting somebody. else.

Popeyes can't stop disrespect. It's going to happen. Yeah, people love it. You always say. It's not about the sandwich. It's not about the sandwich. It's not about the sandwich. It's not what they're in line for. Those two people, if somebody cut somebody off, they're still been a stabbing. Correct. Not because of that.

So that's happening. And I'll give me this. America's top guilty pleasures. What would you say your biggest guilty pleasure is, Amy? Chocolate. Chocolate. Interesting. Dark chocolate. Ugh.

I just do not like dark chocolate. Why? Like milk chocolate? I don't know. Dark chocolate is that's funny with me. So good. You can eat dark chocolate bars? Yes.

I can eat 88%. Oh, Coco? You're crazy. I don't know what that means. That's hardcore. That's pure. That's pure. It's hardcore.

It's pure. It's hardcore. Yeah. I would say that mine is binge watching a TV show or binge eating food in general. Like ice cream? I get a whole tub of ice cream. I feel terrible for three days.

but that's mine probably. What's your flavor? Any, except for peanut butter. Any? Really? Any, you don't have one? I love vanilla. I love chocolate.

The strawberry's fine. There are a lot of... I had the best ice cream in my life the other day, by the way. Maybe two weeks ago from Jenny's ice cream. Which flavor? And it was some kind of like, I'm not sure.

I could look it up. But I remember thinking to myself, this is the best ice cream ever had in my life. Wow, that's huge. Is it their bumbleberry? No. But I tell you what it had on it?

Whatever? It was something with, on the top. What are they call that? Crumble? Nope. Lip cream? It's called like... Carmel.

No, it's a type. Cherry. Oh my God. It's a type on top? Yeah, it's Halo top or something like that. But that's not at Ginny's. Cream butter, buttercream. Whatever the case is, I'm going to have a look on my app.

It's the best ice cream I had in my life. Well, Jenny's ice cream is real legit. Top guilty pleasure lunchbox. Chocolate milk. Love me some chocolate milk. And when it gets wintertime hot chocolate, I can drink that stuff like so often. But I only reward myself.

score a goal in the soccer game, chocolate milk. Eddie? I loved old black and white movies. That's your guilty pleasure. People hate on me with that. Guilty pleasure would be anything that you get made fun of? I get made fun of all the time for like an old black and white movie. My wife doesn't, she's just like, oh my gosh, not again. But I love them.

Okay, here we go. Are you guys ready for it with the ice cream? I found it. It's Jenny's ice cream, the salty caramel pint with halo top. What does that mean? Don't know. That's good? I'm Googling. Salt eating.

You got like we were supposed to know what a halo. Hold on, let me take that back. I don't know, HALTOfts, I see it all the time on Twitter and Instagram. That's a different brand. Okay, well, screw it. I don't know. Goody, here's what it was, because I order two at the same time. It wasn't this one.

It was gooey buttercake pint. Oh. Buttercake, I've seen that there. Yeah, that's what it was. Was this on a date? With HALTOE. No, it was in my house. It was in my house by myself.

I ate the whole thing too. Is that part of the Fit 33? And then I tip four bucks. It was probably in the time frame, maybe. Wait sugar. No, it wasn't in the fit 33. My diet that I do right now. It's okay.

Fit 33 is just a lifestyle. Sometimes in life you mess up. You can have a day. I told you that. It's not a mess up. I know. It's what I'm saying. It's not a mess up.

I didn't know how to define it. I was trying. I'm pro fit 33. I'm saying like it's a lifestyle and sometimes. Hey, Google Fit 33. See if anything comes up. Perfect. I made that up.

There's no chance there's something called that. Oh, I bet there's a chance. Everything's called something. What is it, Fit 33? Yeah. If you only have 33% of the day to eat, but then you also, is there anything? Oh, man, just a bunch of tires. There's Jordan's 33's, baby.

I googled. Fit 33 lifestyle. You have no competition. It's wide open for you, but. Wide open, wide open. There is something called Club 33, and it's a private Chicago boutique fitness studio offering 33-minute fitness classes. Now, that's smart, too. I can do a whole 33, everything.

Look at them. Like some classes are 30 minutes, but they're like, we'll get you done in 33. Okay. This is good. It's working for me so far, 533. America's top guilty pleasures. 10, breaking a diet, eating fast food. Nine, swearing.

Just say if you do these. Just say yes or no. Eating fast food. Yes. Not really. Yeah, I guess not really. Swearing. Yes.

No. Bench watching a TV show. Yes. Yeah. Online shopping. Yes. Yes. You go twice.

Telling a friend you're busy when you're really not. Yes. No. You don't do that? No, because I'm really busy. No, because I'm really busy. And if I have a minute, I go and do it. Oh, okay.

Don't tell me I'm a liar. Well, I thought everybody did that. Drinking alone. Yes. Yeah, sometimes. Eddie and Amy go, yes. I thought everybody did that. Well, there's people in the house that just not with me.

And number four, staying in your pajamas all day and not leaving the house for an entire day. I do that. I don't put guilty. I'll at least put on workout clothes. Gambling. Yeah. No. No for me.

Sneaking ice cream when everybody else is in bed or dessert when everybody else is in bed. Sure. I live alone. I don't have to do that. Falling asleep watching TV. Yep. No, I had turned it off. I do it. That's how I go to sleep.

Everybody likes the hard seltors, right? This is what they're called, right? Hard seltas, Ramundo. That's what White Claw has a hard seltzer. So Four Loco has launched a couple days ago, the new hard seltzer. It's 12% alcohol by volume, which means it has around two and a half times more alcohol than White Claw and truly. Oh my gosh. How do you feel about that, Ramundo? Well, White Claw's double a beer, and then that sounds like it's double a white Claw.

So you only need about two of those, and you're going to be pretty blackout. Honestly. They're only releasing one flavor black cherry. I guess it's the only one that's out right now. The hardest seltzer in the universe. Well, Forloko goes hard, huh? Yeah, shouldn't that be a warning sign? Like two of these, you're going to be blackout. Hmm. Forloko goes hard. What was the big thing with Forloko when it launched? It was an energy drink. Was that Forloko? I don't know. It was, what? It had caffeine. Oh, so it had caffeine. It was, yeah. Yeah, and they limited you, too, when it first launched, Four Loco. You were only in a store.
