I recently just bought a home, and with that comes home insurance. My sales agent reached out. I've been single for this whole 2020 after a long-term relationship, and I'm looking to get back into the dating world. I thought she was extremely cute, but I did not want it to be weird by reaching out to her via social media, looking her up. What's the best way to reach out to this girl to let her know I'm interested?

Because you had a similar situation happen to you? Yes. I did. It didn't really work out for me though. Not sure if I had the best advice in this situation, but I mean, what I did was he gave me his insurance card and he had his phone number on it. So I just texted him. And I said, hey, you came to my door. I thought you were really cute. I would love to get a drink sometime. You know, direct is always best. If you're going to go for it, go for it 100% and just go at it. It's less creepy than social media, I would say. But it's easier to take rejection when it's on social media.

Yes. If I'm a dude, I'm like, hey, I find her account just send her a message. Be like, hey, I looked you up, found your Instagram. You want to get, you want to hang out, or whatever it is that way, because it's easy to be rejected that. Trust me. I was rejected my whole life. And it's a lot easier that way.

But he didn't ask me for advice. You would just tell them to. Yes. Well, also because social media, you could find somebody that looks really similar to them with the same name. Might not be them. No way. I'm telling you that happens. They have similar names and if they're like private and all you can see is a little profile

photo and you're like, ooh, requests to follow so I can send a DM and then you're like, ooh, that was not the right person. Sounds like this has happened to you before. Yes, it has. This is not just a scenario that most people have lived through. I'm just saying yes, it has happened to be before and you could follow the wrong person. So, yeah, I would say directly text message, but you are right. But that person could be the person for you too, you know?

Yeah. Never know. What happened to you recently? Some guy came up to you, like drove up to you with his car and asked you out? Yeah, I had left the grocery store and I was putting my groceries in my car. And some dude had, we had made eye contact in the grocery store, but you know when you make awkward eye contact with somebody unintentionally? That's kind of what happened with this guy. So when I was putting my groceries in the car, he was in his car and drove by and stopped.

It was like, hey, you want to go for a drink sometime? And I was like, I don't know what to happen. And I was like, I have a boyfriend. I just got to ran away. So you didn't want you. But you weren't interested. No. In my eyes, he was not attractive to me.

Doesn't mean he wasn't to other people, just to me. So I just kind of, and it was kind of a little weird because I was like by my car and he was in his car. And I was kind of like ambushed. So I was kind of like, I don't know what's happening. And then I, yeah, I lied. I thought that was a cool story at first. You know, like, wow, this guy really took a shot. Oh, he did.

But he got injected. Yeah, I feel bad. So he wasn't as bro and barrel chested as you normally like? No, he just, he was a little bit older for me. Like, I mean, probably closer to 40 for me. And I was like, I'm not sure I want to go at that right now. I don't know you well enough. Why would you continue to go after what you've been going after if that's been unsuccessful?

Not just in this and in life. Because I have a friend who's like, I just want a guy who's going to, and she excite me a little bit. I'm like, well, that thing you're looking for excitement's also what breaks up your relationships. Because that exciting thing you think is like, the bad boy or the, oh, you never know. That's the thing that you end up going, oh, fundamentally, this is not going to work because of that. So the same kind of question to you. You're not wrong.

You're definitely right. And I'm making a big effort to do better about that. But it's easier said than done. You know, you get attracted to the things that you're always naturally attracted to. So I'm trying to be better about consciously deciding that's not the path I want to go down. So even if he was, and he was kind of looked like a, you know, a D bag, I wouldn't have gone. I would have been like, no, I'm good. Hard pass.

Because she likes the D bag look. Sometimes, yes. It was just the grocery store, like, just that scenario was kind of weird. Honestly, it was more than anything that I just felt kind of ambushed. I was like, well, where did you come from? And I kind of thought I could get kidnapped any moment. So I was like, ooh, I just said I had a boyfriend instead a full-on rejection because I was like, are you going to be mad? I said no.

All right. We're going to wrap the post show. me mention there's a new podcast that is out today called Make It Up As We Go. It's a musical podcast, really unlike anything that I've ever heard or been a part of. I'm an executive producer, so has Miranda Lambert. We each play ourselves in it. Be sure to check it out today.

Morning studio. Morning. No Amy here today. Let's grab a couple calls. First off, this is Cassie in Florida. Yesterday, by the way, just to set it up, someone called and said, hey, if you get married soon, will you invite your real dad? And I said, I don't think so.

I don't know him. It was never really a part of my life. He's alive still. I know where he is, but I hadn't thought about that until the show. And so that was, I thought that was an interesting question, but Cassie's on to talk about that. Hey, Cassie. Hi, Bobby. Hi, studio.

Hello. Not answering. I know. You got to say morning studio, then we all yell. Morning studio. Morning. So I just want to address you, Bobby, not inviting, you know, your real father to your potential wedding. I actually, me and my fiancee are not inviting his sister to our wedding, and our wedding is actually this Saturday.

Wow. Due to, yes, due to possible drama. So we don't want anybody obviously tiptoeing around or me or him having a stress about something to said or do. So completely get where you're coming from on, you know, having to not invite somebody due to that. Holy mackerel. Now, does he have a relationship with his sister? Sort of. I mean, it's a half sister, but, I mean, they still have a relationship.

But she's kind of caused some issues between us. So. Which one of you brought it up first that maybe you shouldn't invite her? I'm assuming him, but what happened with that? I actually brought it up because something big happened a couple years back. Actually, after he proposed to me, and I just said I didn't want to deal with it. And is she going to be at the wedding? Oh, no, no.

Is she going to be mad? She's not at the wedding? Does she know yet? She knows. Supposedly she's upset, but she hasn't even reached out to him. So I don't know how exactly upset she is. That's some Jerry Springer stuff for sure. Oh, man, she's showing up.

I want to know the potential drama. Like, what are they scared of? What are you not want to happen at your wedding? I kind of say something towards me or she's never really been nice to me. Anything that she's ever said to me has been kind of disrespectful. And I don't want that at my, you know, my happy day. I guess so. And he doesn't want it either.

because if this is coronavirus situation did you have to limit your guests and maybe you had to make her one of the final cuts you can say so good that's what i would say that that that's what i'm saying it like that like you can go with that like hey yeah we've had to kind of cut our guest list on to 500 and since it's it's we don't have that many people no i know i'm just kidding well cassie congratulations i hope the wedding is awesome thank you thank you for sharing the story how long have you known this guy uh we've been together five and a half years and we have a three and a half year old together. You feel like this is for sure the one? Like you love them and that's it? Oh yeah. Yes. We don't want nobody else. I'm he's stuck with me and I'm stuck with him.

Nice. Well, congratulations. Thank you for calling and hope the wedding goes fantastic. I hope she doesn't show up. Yeah. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. It's in the back of my mind. I bet it is. A little bit I do. All right. Bye, Cassie. See you later. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Let's go to Deanna and Pittsburgh. Who's calling the show right now. Deanna, what's going on? Welcome to the show. Morning studio. Morning. So I found a receipt that my boyfriend actually bought an engagement ring in a band. Do I tell him ever? Not even just before, ever. You don't tell him before, and I think after five years you can mention after. You don't tell him before. The poor guy,

I would, the only thing I could compare going into a, because you're trying to hide, if you're trying to buy an engagement ring, you don't want anyone to know, is buying condoms at the gas station when you're like a teenager. You're like, oh God, no, don't pay attention. You don't want anyone to see what's going on. So to call, you can't, man, I would hurt my heart if you spilled the beans that you found it. So my advice would be, don't, after five years, maybe three, if the moment's right, but let

the guy have his, I surprised her, it was an amazing moment. Okay. Have you found the ring, though, and have you snooped for the rings that you knew there was receipt. So I picked it out. I already know what it looks like, and I really hope that my future mother-in-law is not listening because I know she listens to you guys. But I have not snooped to find the ring because I'm pretty sure she has it. He knows I'm a snooper.

He got drunk and he left it out of the bag that he bought it. So I kind of already knew and I snooped and he got the right one when I found the receipt, but I have not found the actual ring in the house. I have a idiot friends. I think he's smarter than that. The guy friends that have gotten engaged and I'm like, I'm going to hide it from a girl. She's never going to know I got the ring. but they are on each other's find my iPhone and she goes

Hey yeah I saw Sean Apparently he's at a jewelry store right now And then she This couple got engaged like a year ago They've been married since But she saw him on the app Where you have your buddies You can see where they are all the time

In the jewelry store Like that's the dumbest thing to try to hide it But be linked up there Yeah and that's a little reckless man All the guys out there that are thinking about it Like you've got to be a little more careful with those receipts and the ring. Like we've had a couple calls, you know, earlier last week or whatever,

saying that, yeah, we found, I found the ring. What do I do? Guys, hide that stuff. Well, here's the thing. When it happens with me, you'll never know. You'll, you'll, you'll, I have them build a whole ring shop secretly in the bunker of, I'll never be found out. No receipts.

No one will be a receipt. Okay. Yeah, and I'm going to kill everybody who sold me the ring too. No one is going to have record. You're going to threaten everyone. Let's get the back. Let's do the show. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Dolly Parton. Hey, Dolly, good morning. Well, good morning, how are you? I'm pretty good. It's always great to talk with you. How you been? Oh, you too. I've been doing good.

Have you been doing? Oh, good? Trying to stay away from as many people as possible, but still trying to live a fulfilled life. I'm here. It's kind of hard to do in our business, ain't it? It is, yeah. You know, and I'm reading about you. You're doing all kinds of stuff right now.

The Holly Dolly. I'm doing it safely and smartly. And that's what I was going to ask, because the Holly Dolly Christmas, it's out now the album. But it's you and Jimmy Fallon doing all I want for Christmas is you. Did you guys do this in the same spot? Did you record it separately? No, we recorded separately. We did it just like all the other people.

They did it from their little studios, our engineers, you know, communicate with each other and their engineers. So we did all of this whole album pretty much, you know, all the technical. stuff, but no, we couldn't all get together doing all that. But it's wonderful. I'll tell you, there's a lot to be fair about technology these days, right? Where are you recording? Is there a studio near your house? Do you have one in your house? Or do you just... Well, I have both. I have a studio always in my office downtown, along with all, it's my publishing company, a studio and all that. So I did a lot of my work there. Kent Wells, who lives down the street from me. He has his own studio. So when we all worked mostly Kent and I, he produced it and, you know, got pulled a lot of this stuff together with the other artists as well.

But it was just the engineer, Kent and me, for the most part. And then, you know, different musicians would put their parts on. And so it just, and when we had the background vocals, they all had their own private booths and their own mask and their gloves and, you know, all that. So it was kind of funny. We got a kick out of seeing how, you know, how we pulled all. of it together, but it sounds like we were all right there at the same time, same with Willie. You know, Willie did his in Austin, of course, in his studio, and played his guitar, and, you know, so it was, it was an unusual way of doing it, but it sounds like we were all

right there, like any other session. Did you have to do it in, like, June or July, and it's not Christmas at all, and you have to somehow make yourself feel Holly and Jolly? Yeah, actually, every album that I've ever done, like when I worked with Kenya Rogers on our our Christmas album years ago, we decorated the whole studio like Christmas trees and everything. We'd bring each other presents, little presents every day, wrapped up, and we turn the air conditioner down to real cold, and so to make it feel like Christmas, we had snow in the studio. But anyway, same thing with this, I would wear my Christmas colors, red, white, or green, you know, to the studio when I was doing, you know, some of my vocals.

So just trying to make it feel as Christmassy as we could. But yeah, you always have to do your Christmas albums in June and July in order to get them prepped and ready for a fall release and marketing. It's October now. When will you start to decorate your house for Christmas? And, you know, how big do you do it? Oh, I do big Christmas. Christmas is my favorite.

But I do every season, you know, every holiday where there's – I'm decorated now for Halloween and fall at my houses. but we decorate Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. We take all the fall decorations out of all the houses, all the places that I have around, and we start putting up all our Christmas decorations, and I leave them up until after my birthday, January 19th. I celebrate Christmas from Thanksgiving until my birthday.

Dolly Parton's on with us right now. Her album, Holly Dolly Christmas, is out now. You know, I'm on TikTok a lot, and a lot of kids are now being introduced to your music through. I saw the 9 to 5 challenge on TikTok. Have you seen that at all? And if not, I'll explain it to you. I've seen, yeah, well, you have to explain a lot of technical stuff to me.

But yeah, I've seen it all. I've got a great crew that always, you know, keeps me aware and also keeps me very involved and all that. But, yeah, I've got all these little nieces and nephews that love me that are all into all of that stuff. So they're all excited that I'm, you know, all part of that whole thing. So that's all great. I don't know how I've lasted this long

and why I'm still, while they act like I'm still important, but it makes me feel good. The 9 to 5 challenges these kids, and what they'll do, Eddie, is that they'll tumble out of bed and stumble into the kitchen, and it's just like they're barely making it. They're falling out and stumbling. It's really funny, but again,

you're seeing, you know, 12, 13, 15-year-olds just introduced to Dolly again. It's amazing. I know. I have my little nieces are just that age, and, you know, they're always so excited, and they all love doing all that, But I'm just so touched with that.

I think I've just been around so long. I've just brought all back around like my fans. They had kids and they introduced them. Now they're having kids. They're grandkids. And working with Miley on Hannah Montana, I think, really opened up that world of young kids to me at that time. And so I've just kind of rolled with it the whole time. And then working with the imagination library with kids, my name kind of is out there and kind of attached to children,

which I love. I just think it's great that I can still be here at this age and been around. I think they all look at me kind of like an aunt, like a family member, you know, that sort of thing. You have a new Netflix movie coming out, Christmas on the Square, and here's the description for everybody. An embittered Scrooge of a woman plans to sell her small town, regardless of the consequences to the people who live there. Now, you star as an angel. Are you playing a real angel or someone named Angel? Angel, and I'm playing it.

Angels. Now, I'm certainly no angel, but I'm playing one on TV, as they say. But I'm a fisty angel. I'm actually, I've been sent to, you know, to kind of show this woman the air of her ways. And so it's really a fun thing. I'm real garty and flashy, but I'm a homeless woman at one point as an angel. So I've kind of come as different, you know, kind of things. But it's all fun and uplifting.

And I wrote all the music for it. And so I'm acting in it, and it's a true musical. and Debbie Allen choreographed and directed it. And Christine Borensky playing the old Scroogeable Woman, but she did great. We have Treat Williams

who played one of the male leads. So we've got a wonderful, wonderful cast. And so we're very excited about it. But my angel part is she very, very gaudy, but she's got a good message and she does it in a fun way.

Dolly becomes the first country artist to chart a third. top 20 Billboard single, seven consecutive decades, 60s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2000s, 2000s, and 2020s. What would you tell 16-year-old Dolly Parton right now? Oh, I just say, girl, you better buckle up. You're in for the right of your life. It's going to have its ups and it's going to have its downs, but it's going to be mostly up.

That's crazy. Well, before I let you go, I was going to ask if you saw the clip of the two teenagers who went viral after listening to Jolene for the very first time ever. Did you happen to see that? Because, I mean, it was massive all over the Internet. It was. That's another thing. All my nieces and nephews, they follow me. They make sure they show me everything. They get so excited. But yeah, they did show me that. And I was real impressed with that. That made me feel good because that was back, what, 40 years ago? That was the original Jolene that they were listening to. And that was now that they were hearing it. So that made me feel real good as a songwriter and, you know, as a singer. So that's always such a, you know, I take a lot of pride in it. It's humbling. I don't take it for great. granny, but I'm always just amazed at those kind of things, and I'm still around, and it seems to matter, and I hope to always be around, I hope to always matter, always say that I'm as old

as yesterday and as new tomorrow, as new as tomorrow, and I hope to keep that attitude. Final question with Christmas coming up, and you have a Christmas album or doing Christmas movies, do your friends and family still buy you Christmas gifts? I'm assuming so, but what in the world do they get somebody who has everything? So seriously, they buy me purses, tote bags, stuff like that, and makeup, you know, costume jewelry. I'm the easiest person to buy for because I'm not high class in any way. I prefer like a lot of great costume jewelry, bangles, spangles, big earrings, gaudy, stuff that don't cost a lot of money. And I'm always getting, you know, I'm always carrying my stuff around, you know, in bags, you know, tote bags back and forth to my office.

back and forth to the studio, back and forth to my houses. So I get a lot of bags and jewelry and makeup. Well, Dolly, we love you. I hope everybody checks out of Holly Dolly Christmas, and then on Netflix, and you're everywhere, and it's amazing, and you are the most universally beloved figure I've ever, in my whole life, you are the most universally beloved person I've ever seen. It's crazy and awesome.

Aw. Yeah. Well, that makes me feel good. You know, we never did say what the name of that Netflix was. That Christmas musical is called Christmas. on the square. That's coming up on Netflix on the 22nd of November. But thank you for that compliment.

You know, I've been around, like I said, I've been around so long. I guess people, hopefully they love me like a family member because that's how I feel. The whole world is my family, and I just try to love everybody and every individual personality. I just love the, you know, the God's soul and everybody. So hopefully I'll be around a long time past this Christmas. If we make it through December, I agree. in one of his songs, if we make it through December, maybe we'll be fine. I agree.

Well, Dolly, thank you, love you, and we'll talk to you soon, okay? And by the way, I just want you to know how proud we all are of you doing all the things that you do. We love watching you. We love hearing you, and we just love you. I think you're, if you say I'm loved, I think you're equally as loved. No chance, but I appreciate the compliment, Dolly. Have a good day, Dolly. Love you. See you later.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye. There she is. part and always great to talk with her. This is how on top of it she is, right? Obviously, she is super smart and is just a known to be a fantastic business person. I guess I forgot to mention the name of that movie.

She did a whole rest of the interview, and then goes, oh, by the way, you forgot to mention the name of that movie on Netflix. God, respect that! She's so good. She's still grinding, didn't it? I didn't even ask about it, because, you know, the story is she may go back on the cover of Playboy

on her 75th birthday. Oh, really? I didn't ask about it, because I was like, you know, it's a Christmas interview. We're talking about Holly Dolly Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But just lover.

I was reading this story about this guy who stole $1.3 million. And you're going, wow, that brave, try to steal that money. But he stole it in printer toner, which I'm assuming that's the color you put in a printer to make the pages be colored. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the ink. Listen to this story. This is amazing.

And not in a good way. Fascinating. Just that there's that much money to be made in printer toner in one place. Yeah. A Texas library failed for some time to notice its printer was running out a toner super fast. A former employee of the Austin Public Library is accused of fraudulently buying $1.3 million worth of printer toner, which he allegedly stole and then resold online. Wow.

Randall Wyde was an accounting associate at the time. I guess they figured it out in an audit. quote, he took advantage of poor purchasing reviews by his supervisors. They got a tip about the allegations. They say that since 2007, you're talking about 13 years, 12, 13 years, that he had been buying this toner and just taken it home and then selling it. An auditor found surveillance video showing him, who showed up to work early, taking printer turner from his office to the parking garage where he had parked his car.

In August last year, he was terminated over something else. But then they were like, let's check this out when they audited it. And they found that he would take it home and then sell it. And he made $1.3 million. That is substantial amount of copy toner. Yeah, yeah. Hey, you know how like hackers sometimes they get hired by the government after they're in trouble? They've served their time or whatever.

Like they know how to do it bad so they're there to stop other folks from doing it bad. Isn't this kind of smart of this guy? Like shouldn't people be like, all right, after you serve your time for stealing all that money? Come work for me. You sound like a good businessman. No. No. No.

he steals. Oh, okay. He steals. Who would think toner? Who would think that would be a money-making thing? Somebody who was doing the accounting, obviously. Wow. I would never think toner was worth anything.

I know sometimes when my printer's out of ink at the house, it just is out of ink for like four months because I never remember to go get it. And then sometimes I'll just print all in blue because I'm out of black completely. So everything is blue for a month. Well, see, I think most people do forget about their toner. Not this guy, though. He was on it early. And is there a black market for toner?

Like, does Mike do you get on the dark web? and there's some guy selling toner down there? I was amazed. Here's another story about money. An Oregon man who won $5.7 million from a lottery drawing said his ticket sat forgotten and unchecked in his wallet for over a month. That is an expensive wallet right there. Christopher Sargent told Oregon lottery officials

that he and his wife bought tickets for the August 24th megabucks drawing. He simply forgot about it. I just think in my wallet, sometimes I'll get stuff. And if it's a receipt or a paper, disintegrates basically. Yeah, you can't even read what's on there. So he gets the ticket, puts it in his wallet. He was like, oh man, I forgot all about this when he was going through his wallet.

So he was like, oh, yeah, I took it to the clerk. He scanned it. He didn't even know that he won. He just had him scanned the ticket because it was there. The clerk wasn't sure what I had won. He goes, hey, it looks like you need to go to Salem. He checked the numbers after he got home. It was a winning ticket, and he won the $5.7 million jackpot.

And right then, it's like, what do you do? What do you hide this money? What do you want to make sure that nobody knows? Who do you tell? Isn't that wild? He and his wife visit a lottery headquarters in Salem to collect their prize money more than a month after the drawing.

Wow. And you know the folks in the lottery were also hoping this guy never shows up. Yeah. Because then the money just gets given to the school. Sure. Or put it back in, but I think some gets given to the school. I think it's mostly given to the schools.

And this dude is like, I just wasted a month of my life working still. Right, man. That's awesome. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two. 30 Second Skinny. Jimmy Allen shared the demo version of three of his songs.

Here's one of them called About You. Tim McGrath is receiving the Tom Hanks Caregiver Champion Award. He's being celebrated for his support of military and veteran caregivers.

The rescue donkeys are part of their farming operations at Brad's Nashville home. I'm Morgan number two.

That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home. It's something good. John Seidel decided he wanted to give back in a big way. 25 years ago, his aunt donated a kidney to his stepdad and gave his stepdad 25 more years to live.

And so now he's older and he's like, I want to pass it on. So he said, you know what? I don't have anybody I'm going to donate to you. Just a stranger. So some guy in Louisiana got his kidney. Ken Cook is getting and he was like, I'm just amazed. He wants to donate his kidney to a stranger. That's crazy.

That's awesome. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobid Bones Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes with us from Winter Haven, Florida. A 47-year-old woman walked into a jewelry store and was like, hey, I was out on the beach and I found this nice diamond ring.

I was wondering how much money I could get for it. And the person takes it. And they're like, man, this ring is in perfect condition. And it looks like a ring that was stolen from our shop two months ago. Oh, no. The lady had stolen from the same shop. Wow. And waited two months and thought they wouldn't notice.

Wow. I've talked about a spot in our calendar. Like, when I get to this point, I'm clear to go. They'll for sure forget. Go to a different shop. Go to a pine shop. Don't steal. Oh, my gosh.

Her and her two friends, Candy Carpenter and Jordan Jackson, discuss how the Ingram has impacted their lives. People love that Ineagram. They do. Do you know what you are? Like a nine, I think. I think is that a peacemaker? Oh, yeah.

I'm an eight, but you're not... Morgan, do you know what you are? Yeah, I'm an eight and a two. Well, if you got to pick one though. No, I'm 50% of eight. Oh, come on. I swear I took the full test. Well, they talk about this and how it's impacted their lives.

And she also talks about Kaylee does how she found another use for her depression lamp. I have a happy light. Oh, I have a happy light too. The light that you just shine in your face so you don't feel sad. You want to know the most seven thing. I got the anti-depression lamp, which is what she's referring to, a happy light.

and I use it to take something. So listen to that podcast. She's funny. She's an artist. It's called Too Much to Say with Kaylee Shore. Sometimes when an artist comes in our studio, we joke how much it would cost for them to come play at our house. And they never really give us an answer.

Or they go, you, man, I do it for free. So we never really have that. So I've done some digging around. Called a bunch of my friends, agent friends, keep booking friends. And asked how to ask, how much it would actually cost to hire these artists. Now, these are the most recent numbers I could find. And maybe you could get a better deal because of COVID at this point. Not sure. But I've

ranked them into different tiers. They're about six tiers or so. And we'll go with the lower tier first. Okay. The first range, this is for one event, for them to come play for an hour at one event. It's $40,000 to $75,000. Okay. Wow. A lot of money. These are the three artists that for $40,000 to $75,000 will come to your house. Like, what scale is that, you think? Who is that, Eddie? A 40,000? I mean, that would be a B. Like, they've got to have hits.

Like? Like, Randy Houser, you know, Lee Bryce. Dustin Lynch is in this mix here. Maddie and Tay. And the Oak Ridge Boys. Oh, wow. They're in that tier of $40,000 to $75,000. Now, we go up a tier now.

The $100 to $150,000 tier. Just to get them to come, them to play by themselves at your house. Dan and Shea. I bet you they're a little more expensive now, though. I would think so. But the last numbers I have, Cole Swindell.

You should be here. Standing with your arm around me. And Old Dominion. So if you got 100,000 bucks, you can get any of those three to come to your house. Is it negotiable? Everything's negotiable. Are we talking full concert, like three songs?

One hour. An hour. Yeah, a full set. We'll call it a full set. Next up, around $250,000, you can get this, Little Big Town. Or our buddy, Jake Owen. Oh, wow. Or Brett Eldridge.

So if you had $250,000, which one of them would you hire? I would probably do Little Big Town. Really? I feel like it's a better bang for my buck because I'm paying four people. Huh. Next up, the half million dollar tier. It better be big stars. You got to pay them half million dollars

to come to your house to play. Garth Brooks. Come on. Here you go. Reba. Alan Jackson. And Sam Hunt. You've got... Wow.

And this is all based off of... So you know, it's not just some number people make up. It's based off what people will pay normally. Like, if we sell this many tickets at this price, that makes this much money so that artist makes this. And the more tickets you sell, the higher your rate goes. The more

tickets you sell at a higher price. So Sam Hunt sells like crazy. Yeah, it's amazing. Okay. There are two more tears, though. What, there are two more? That gets more expensive? Yeah, this is $750 to $1 million. Get out of here. Kenny Chesney.

Luke Bryan. Sunburn, sunset repeat And Miranda Lamber You need to be like one of those Middle Eastern billionaire oil guys to Jeez Finally we have one more tier Here's tier one

This is the You gotta have over a million dollars And if you have to ask you can't afford them It's that tier Oh boy All right Eddie who do you think is in this tier Garth Brooks for sure Garth Brooks

I don't know Places Where the whiskey Who else? Brooks and Dunn I don't know their price But they're not in this tier Tim McGraw

No You're missing a big one here I think Tim was probably in that last tier With Chesney You're missing someone If Garth Who's like Garth? Who's...

Sheniah Who's equal to Garth? George Strait There you go I'm Oh, One more. It's a female

I got you Go Dolly No Younger Younger? Yeah, Carrie Underwood

No No, Carrie's probably Not as expensive as this person As big as stars You can get right now Marin Morris? No

You're going backwards I am What do you think? Taylor Swift It's Taylor Oh, of course. I put that out there this whole list because if you're looking for something to get some more for Christmas who has everything, you can have a concert with Maddie and Tay for only $50,000.

Hey, Bones, how many of these private shows do you think they do, like a year? Private's not many, but I'm talking about this is basically what it costs for them to go play anywhere. Like if they're going to play it. So if you're just asking them to come play your town, that's how much it's going to cost. Yeah, basically. It can be cheaper if, let's say you got to show up, they're going to fly you there privately. They're going to, you're going to play. just acoustic with having to pay a band.

But again, if you're going to go play an amphitheater, this is about what it would cost. Imagine waking up, going to work, and being like, I'm going to make a million a day. Let me go play a show. Wow. It's pretty good, imagine.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. All right, filling in for Amy today is me. Coronavirus-themed Christmas ornaments have sold out online. They include ornaments like Santa wearing a mask, a bottle of hand sanitizer hanging from a tree. That's funny. and a roll of toilet paper.

Think back, I know it feels like it's been 10 years ago, but just a few months ago, we were going ape crap over not finding toilet paper. And there was no reason for it. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? So you can go, it's called Old World Christmas, the premier brand of Christmas ornaments. They have about 150 new designs each year.

They're glass ornaments. They're very nice. But the ones that are all sold out this year are the coronavirus ones, especially the Santa and a mask. They're about 20 bucks. They don't know if they can make enough to keep up with the demand. That's some good memorabilia right there. They keep forever to.

Oh, forever. Back in 2020, this ornament was from. And you couldn't find toilet paper? Nope. Petco ends the sale of electronic shock collars on dogs and calls on competitors to also, quote, stop the shock. Petco no longer selling these. The San Diego-based pet store chain announced this week that it ended the sales of the

human and bark-activated shock collars. in stores and online and launched a stop the shock campaign. Does that mean on this show we can't use it on humans again? Correct. That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think. No, no, no. We haven't, we haven't been tagged in anything from them. So I think we're still good with humans. I have one. It's not a shock collar for my dog, but he does wear a collar where it goes. It just like shakes.

Yeah, it vibrates the crap out of him. That works. Well, it gets his attention. There's not a stop-to-vibrate campaign, right? No, not yet. That's not inhumane, right? For the vibrating caller? No, it doesn't hurt them.

Okay, just making sure. Ladies, if you have a husband or boyfriend with a deep voice, you may need to keep an eye on him. According to a new study, they're most prone to do... Cheat. Cheaty weedy. Yeah. What's Scotty McCurry's wife's name?

Good bee? I look next to you on your right. Lunchbox. You're very low voice. Very low voice. Hey. Dang. A new study found men with deep, sexy voices might be more likely to cheat.

No, he doesn't have a sexy voice. Possibly because, and I hate to say this with lunchboxes in the room. Possibly because they have more testosterone. Boom. That's what I'm talking about. I've been trying to tell you, guys. That's what you should do on the test, test all of our testosterone. The ladies, they hear this.

Oh, dang. Why do you think you get a low tea? Bones, you'd probably lose, huh? What do you mean? Yeah, come on, come on. I would have more testosterone than you. You think? Yeah.

For sure. Take the test. Take the test. Like, Eddie, you're older and your... Oh, is that how it works? I just thought I was more manly. No, you're definitely not more manly. Oh, come on, man.

Physically, I dominate you. You may take a pliers to, but I would dominate you physically. I fixed my heater the other day, but I would beat the crap out of you. I can bench press more than you. I mean, everyone went in a wrestling match right now. Bobby, for sure. Let's do it. No, no, no, no, no, you'll get me. All right.

Finally, Jimmy Allen, the singer. By the way, here's a clip of Jimmy Allen. Here's this song, Best Shot. Jimmy comes from very humble beginnings, only had $21 and lived in a car when he first moved to Nashville. We've talked about that on the show. But now he's paying it back in kindness by giving away the van that someone gave him when he needed help.

That's cool. He tweeted, attention. If you know anyone who needs a vehicle, especially near Nashville, let me know. I have an older van. I'm going to give it away. It was given to me when I didn't have a vehicle. I'm looking to pass it on.

So I thought that's pretty cool. It's really cool. There you go. And that is your pie. of stories. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. After working for nearly three straight days, a California firefighter kept going to help save his girlfriend's family home from the glass fire. Grant Newman was just finishing a 60-hour shift, and they are fighting these things hard right now, battling blazes for the San Jose Fire Department, when his girlfriend called him panicking that flames were now approaching her parents. home. So he opted in the truck, drove 90 minutes to see if he could help. As he arrived, he saw many homes nearby already on fire, but her family's house for then was still safe.

He moved debris, cut down trees that were in danger of catching fire, did things not to put out fire, but to make sure the fire couldn't spread near them. And then the fire department locally arrived and Linda Hand, there was some damage to the property, but the house survived because he got there early and stopped things around it from spreading to it. Isn't that crazy? These firefighters, man, they are risking it all right now. That's a great story. Shout out to all you firefighters, and that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Let me close the show with this one right here. The Morning Corny! Did you hear about the chameleon who couldn't change color? Did we hear about the chameleon that didn't change color? He had a reptile dysfunction. Thank you, all. There it is. No Amy today, but...

There it is. You feel good. This voicemail was left for us last night by Stephanie. Hey, Bobby. Hey, studio. My husband, Brad, has his birthday on Thursday, and I was wondering if he could get a shout-out on the radio. He listens to y'all every day for like the last thousand years.

Yeah, dude, we've never done that before. All right, here's another voicemail last night. Morning Studio. I have a question for Morgan number two has to deal with Bumble the dating app. I know she has used it on and off at times. I know a feature on this app is that girls are the first to message. I'm just curious and when you are able to message someone. It just shows blurred pictures of people and no one to message,

even though I have swipe right on people. I'm interested in. Do I have to wait for a match to happen or how do I know when I can send someone a message? Thanks for all the help. Love the show and everything you do. What do you think? Yeah, you have to wait for someone to match you

to officially message them first. But you do have to message them first. What's up with the blurry thing? It's like past matches. So if you don't message them within 24 hours, they go away. So you have to do it within a day. So it means she's gotten matched with,

but then she forgot to reach out to him. So she used to pay attention a little closer Yes, just actively be on it All right, next up Hello show I just wanted to tell you I have a Bone to pick with Ray Mundo So I just turned 21

And of course I was going to try White Claws because y'all hype up white claws all the time So I went out I bought a whole variety pack case And they are so bad What the heck, Remundo? Why do you hype those up so much? Ray

Some people love them, some don't You got to go with the mango though If you haven't tried that one yet, please. Don't, I mean, Please. Sometimes the cherry will taste like medicine, but you can't go wrong when you go tropical. So go that route.

Okay, there you go. Leave us a voicemail if you want. 877-77 Bobby. So Ramundo decided to send five random DMs to country artists. What's the category, Remundo? It is country artists that were on, Dancing with the Stars. Okay, so who are the five artists that you sent a DM to?

Lauren Elena. And? Kelly Pickler. Who won? Yeah, Kelly Pickler won, dance with the stars. Jana Kramer. Your boy Chuck Wicks. Oh, yeah, Chuck was on.

With Juliana Huff. Really? Yeah. And finally? I got Billy Ray Cyrus. He was on. He was on. Remember we talked about it.

He goes, man, that wasn't really good. All right, is that now? I sent an honorary fun one to you. Oh, yeah. I was like, why are you texting me? Did you respond? Yeah, I was like, what? What was the message you sent?

I said, hey, are you there? And how many of the five responded? Not including you, one of the five. Oh, this is hard. Only one of the five people responded. One of the five. So, who do you think responded? Lauren Elena?

Jana Kramer, Chuck Wicks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kelly Pickley. This is hard Because they're all good people Yes and I can see all of them Me too

Maybe except Billy Ray Responding But even then Billy Ray's on social media too This is universally a good group of folks That we know that are nice Lunchbox who do you think responded Well I've slid into her DMs before

And she responded right away So I'm going with Janet Kramer I think she's on top of social media Eddie I too think it's Janet Kramer. Like, she's the type of person that would see it and be like, oh, Ray, Ray, there he is.

What do you want? Okay. Morgan? Lauren Elena is a really good friend of the show, so part of me thinks it would be her. But Chuck Wicks, like it being a dude and Ray being a dude, it's not creepy another girl. I'm going with Chuck Wicks.

I'm going to go with Chuck Wicks, too. I know Chuck. I like Chuck. I think if Chuck were to see it, he would for sure respond. Okay. We have two Jana Kramer's and two Chuck Wicks. Interesting. Hey, Ray, are any of us right?

Yes. Okay. Wow. We got it. Lunchbox, we got it. We got it. It has to be Jana. And the person's on the phone right now, I'm being told?

Correct. Okay, I don't know who it is. Can we just turn them up? Can we turn them up? On the phone right now. Come on. They've taken them off hold. On the phone right now, we don't know who it is.

There she is. We don't know if it's her or him. It's the only person to respond to Ray's DM of all the country. stars that have been on Dancing with the Stars. Mystery celebrity. Would you please identify yourself? Jana. That's funny.

You guys, okay, so no joke. I'm like listening to the show. And I was so confused. I'm like, why is he DMing me? I'm like, is he trying to like flirt with me in like the middle of the night? I was so, like, genuinely confused. Well, let me say this about Jana since Jana Kramer's on. Her book is now a New York Times bestseller.

Yeah. Thank you. And you're so sweet to send that sweet little gift, so thank you so much. Yeah, congratulations. The good fight with her husband, Mike, is all about relationships or personal struggles. What do you think most people are getting from this book when they're reaching out to you? You know, I feel like that they're not alone in their struggles, whether, you know, they're married or single. or just going through whatever they're going through.

Because I think everyone just portrays this, you know, perfect scenario on social media. And it's just not that. So it's just, I think people are like, okay, I'm not alone. And, you know, my feelings of this. And then being able to relate to either Mike or I, I think people, you know, I felt really, you know, comforted by that. Now, are you working on a second book? Because I know when you have a successful first book,

they're like, let's go as fast you can. Give us another one. What do you think? I mean, we're definitely talking about it right. now. So we'll see. We got to get some more arguments under our belts, you know? Nice. I'm like, what's going to happen now? Jana and her husband Mike have a podcast too called Wind Down with Jana and Mike.

And they share advice and chat about everything from motherhood to relationships and beyond. And I tell you, man, your son is getting so big, so fast. He's a cute little one, man. I can't even. He's like he's, I mean, I love obviously my daughter. She's amazing. My little son, man, he's talking and just he's so funny. Like he's my sweet little sensitive boy, I'm obsessed. And he's being so big. He's going to be two in a month. And he's got a lot of hair.

I mean, he got a lot of hair. There she has, Janet Kramer, who I sent her a message, and she was bowling in her house. And I said, you got a bowling? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I said, you got a bowling alley in your house. How rich are you?

And it wasn't her house. It was somebody else's house. Even if you know somebody that's a bowling alley, that's pretty rich. I, like, people, I'm like, I'm so flattered that people actually think I have enough money to have a bowling alley in my house. We've got plastic little ones that we did from Amazon. That's our bowling alley in our living room. Well, congratulations.

It's such a big deal to have a book do so well. I'm very proud of you. And good luck. And thank you for responding to Ray. There she is. The nicest celebrity. All right, Jana, talk to you soon. All right, love you guys.

All right, bye, bye. Is today her day? Do we make it, Janet Kramer? You know what? Today, she's Mrs. Today, Janet Kramer is Mrs. Country Music. Yeah, that's awesome. It's time for the good.

Good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. So two LAPD officers were on patrol when they got called out to a car that was surrounded by smoke. Well, they get there and there's a disabled man inside. It's all on body cam. So you can see it.

There's a man inside he's disabled. They get him out. And within seconds, the car just starts going in flames as soon as they get him out. So the man, thank goodness, is okay. But the wheelchair was completely destroyed. But it's okay. One of the officers that took him out supplied him with a new wheel. wheelchair. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow, this car basically explodes as they're still carrying him away.

Crazy, right? Wow. That's crazy. And good for the... One, saving him. That's the big one. Yep. That's part of his job, though, you know, to be fair. But to have that job. Sure, I get it. But secondly, to make sure he gets a wheelchair. Because you could just be done with it. Be a hero, be done with it. That's awesome. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. In just a second, I'll get into the Morgan Walling Controversity Part 3 today. But listen, I love Morgan Wallen. You're never going to hear me say a bad word about him. Not yet. Not even today.

I'm just saying, don't hold me to that forever because sometimes people screw up. Me too. But I'm not going to talk bad about it in a second, but I'll tell you what happened. Give you my thoughts on it. I do love that guy. Before we get into that, there is a new podcast out today called Make It Up as We Go. It is the first of its kind musical podcast. You know me.

I love podcast. It's a scripted series, but it actually tells the story about songwriting. Nashville and how it works. I'm an executive producer on it. I actually play myself too, so not a huge stretch for the acting child. When I did Nashville a TV show, I think I did five different episodes and three of them I played me. One of them I played random person and one of them I played like a music agent. Yeah, you were doing an interview on one of them, right? Yeah, I just never knew who I was playing. So when I had to find myself, it was always me. Even if it wasn't. It's me. So but check this out. It's called Make It Up As We Go. It's fantastic.

The people in a Billy Bob Thornton, Craig Robinson from the office. We play Daryl, who will be on tomorrow on the show, and creator Scarlett Burke. I'm executive producer on it. Miranda Lambert's an executive producer on it. So check it all out. Make it up as we go. It premieres today wherever you listen to your podcast. And there's going to be music coming out with it.

Nicole Gallion, who's a friend of mine who has written such monster songs like tequila. She's also inside of this and writing songs for it. There's not been a podcast like this. So if you love country music and you think songwriting is cool and it's scripted, so there's a little drama there. but it's based on real things. Be sure to hit that up. It's called Make It Up as we go.

I've only heard parts of it, but today I'm going to listen to the whole thing. So check it out. There you go. All right. Let's do the big story. Bobby's Big. Story.

Well, the last couple days I've been catching you guys up. At first, I was like, have you guys looked at TikTok today? And it was Morgan Wall and making out with those girls in Alabama. Yeah. And it wasn't a new story yet. It was just, he just kept popping up in my feed,

not from his TikTok, but from the girls. he was with. All that I can gather is he went to an Alabama football game. At the end of the game, he was messaging with some girls. By the way, nothing wrong with that. Goes and hangs out with them. It turns into partying with him. He's in an apartment or dorm with all of them or something, and there's like 20 of them and just him. They're at a bar. The whole thing, all I said was other than the COVID stuff, nothing wrong with it. He's single. Yeah. They're in college. I mean, he's 27. I'm not sure. I just imagine they were all 21 or 22. I don't know who. Who knows? All good.

They could be older, who knows? But I didn't have a problem with that because single guy is going to single guy. Sure. Well, he was pulled as the SNL musical guest, which is a massive deal. And I thought, are they mad at him for making out of a bunch of girls? So I started to get defensive of my boy Morgan Wallen. I was going to come on here today and tear him a new boathole. And I didn't because they pulled him because of the COVID stuff.

Yeah. Which makes sense. Oh. So they saw the TikToks too. Who didn't? Even if you weren't on TikTok, you probably saw it because people were saving them. I have more to say about that. But Morgan Wallen was booked as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live this weekend,

but it turns out he will not be taking the stage at Studio 8. He was pulled from the show after coming under fire for his behavior where he obviously wasn't following any COVID protocols. Here is a clip of Morgan Wallen saying he will take ownership for his behavior. My actions this past weekend, we're pretty short-sighted. I respect the show's decisions. because I know that I put them in jeopardy. And on a more personal note, I have some growing up to do.

You know, I think I've lost myself a little bit. I've tried to find joy in the wrong places, and I don't know, it's left me with less joy. So I'm going to go try to work on that. I'm going to take a step back from the spotlight for a little while and go work on myself. Good for you, man. If you feel like you have to do it, go for it.

Here's the thing. Don't get older if you don't have to. But if you feel like it's time now, take that step. So what was the COVID protocol? Just making out with a bunch of chicks? Yeah. Yeah. Mouth to mouth.

With numerous hoddies. No new musical guest has been announced in Morgan Wallen's place. I think I did hear, too, that Lauren Michaels did tell him, like, hey, we'll try to reschedule at some point. Yeah. Yeah, I read it was very encouraging. I like to encourage Morgan, too. He's probably not up. Unless he changes life.

He wakes up in the morning early, gets his fitness in. Already. Yeah. One day later. His calisthenics are happening right now Morgan, you got it, dude. You gotta make a couple changes. Good for you.

We'll sit here and wait for you. There's always room to grow. There's always room to make yourself better. And I hope that if you decide you need to do that, that you do that. I'm all here for it. Big fan, big fan. That's the big story. Thank you.

Bobby's Big. Story. Allison and Virginia is on the phone, and I appreciate you calling Allison. What do you want to say to me, Allison? Hey, you guys. Love you. I just wanted to say, I'm so glad you brought up the whole Morgan Wallen thing. Coming from a female's perspective, I honestly did not think he did anything wrong. You know, all those girls that are, there are so many people that are hating on him on Twitter,

and I'm just thinking, well, you guys will definitely be on his show. If anything, you're jealous that you weren't hanging out with him. Yeah, the whole COVID thing that was, I mean, I don't know. Me personally, I'm just over the whole COVID thing, but I just think what he did, he's just living his life and having a good time. Yeah, I think we'd all like to be over the COVID thing if science would let us. But with Morgan Wallen, listen, people are mad at him. If the dude's mad because they're hating, and people are like, he was taking advantage of those girls because he's famous, you don't think they were taking advantage of him so they can go back to their friends and be like, I made out with Morgan Wallen. It's a mutual thing happening there.

And nothing was illegal. Everything was a, heck, it was all in camera. So I'm just not going to have people ripping that dude without someone coming to his defense. Yeah, the COVID stuff was stupid. Just hide it then. If you're going to break the rules, hide it. And I would be like, girls, put your phones down.

Want to be on your TikTok? Yeah, that stinks. But Allison, thank you for the call. I forgot to do this. Let's do the next big story. Bobby's story. Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the chiefs, says he's sleeping in a completely different bedroom

from his pregnant fiancé due to COVID-19. Wow. Because the player from the Patriots, and we mentioned this yesterday, who got it after Cam Newton. They didn't know until after the game. There's a video of him talking to Mahomes and hugging the homes after the game and they're right face-to-face. And he's like, oh, crap.

And, you know, Mahomes is a fiancé who's pregnant. So they're like, I can't. He's being safe, right? I can't get her sick. Right. Because you just don't know the 1% of people that COVID is going to negatively affect, like really negatively affect. So Patrick Mahomes' story is pretty crazy.

And now people are waiting. You know, all of our fans, now in Missouri, Kansas, their butts are puckered like crazy, waiting for that Patrick Mahomes test to come back. Because if he's positive, you don't miss two games. All right, that's my next big story. I want to go over and talk to Rachel in Missouri just for a second. Hey, Rachel, I'm going to put you on hold through the break here. We're going to come back, but you have a situation that's happening at your house with your neighbors, right? Yeah. Okay, so she's going to come and she's going hit us and ask us for some advice because apparently her neighbors are doing something that is

driving her absolutely bonkers. Is that right so far? Yeah. Okay. We're going to come and I think some people will be able to relate to this. But can you hang out three minutes, Rachel, until we come back? Yeah. Okay. There's Rachel. Where are you in Missouri? St. Louis, Missouri. All right. We're back with Rachel in a second. We'll do that. Also, somebody had to return their $2.5 million engagement ring. Ramundo? Can you imagine? I'll tell you who that is coming up to.

So, um, me and my husband both work nights and I'm a nurse and he or and so the neighbors they have a dog and it parks all day when we're sleeping and they're great neighbors but um the dog we can hear it right

through our window and it makes it hard to sleep during the day so I was calling you guys um for advice of how we should handle it should I um talk to her and see if if if I, She can do something about it or if we should just let it go. Do you have a relationship with them where you would talk to them? It would be no issue? A little bit. Like, we know each other's names and stuff. So you're not buddies, though?

No. Okay, I don't even know my neighbors. I ask that for that reason. Because I think that factors in. First of all, if it's daytime and a dog's barking, there's really not a lot you can say. If it's late at night and a dog's barking, you go, hey, the dog's barking a night, and they probably do something in the daytime, though, that's when dogs are supposed to bark. But that doesn't mean they can't fix anything.

Because if they're generally good neighbors, I would bet they're generally good people. And I think if you don't feel comfortable talking with them, if you send them a text or send them a note, be like, hey, I hope you guys are good. You can even put a little, you know, a little gift, a little brownie. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. That's good of muffins. Yeah, yeah. And we're like, hey, we're so sorry to be an inconvenience.

Obviously, you know, we're working and you go, you know, it's a pandemic. And we're nurses. Oh. You got to use that. Yeah, yeah, that's good. And so your dog is barking a lot at night in the daytime. Is there anything that you could do to move them to a different room or make sure he doesn't bark as much? I think that's the plan of attack there.

Because you can't say shut your dog up. You really can't. It's noon. Yeah. So you have a conversation. with them and you say, hey, we're trying to to care COVID. If there's any way that you could have your dog

move a bit and not bark as much, we'd really appreciate that. If not, we get it and we understand. I think to not be pushy is the way to actually push it through the best. What do you think about that, Rachel? I think that's a good idea. Probably. And then if it... Make some cookies or something. It's just, whenever you

go to someone with a push, you kind of need to also have a little sprinkle. You don't just want to push somebody. You want to be sure to give them a little sprinkle too, so the push doesn't feel as bad. It's like when you have to tell somebody bad news, if you can actually say something good as well to counter it a bit, it doesn't do the full job of making it even, but it helps, you know, if I'm going to pull you in, Eddie, for a meeting and be like, hey, man, your job's really stinking. First, I'm going to go, hey, man, that mustache is rocking today.

And then I'll feel good about that. Yeah, and you'll be like, wow, then you're up above and then I'm going to knock you down. Then I'll forget about the bad stuff. Yeah, yeah, you're like, oh yeah, I know I suck, but my mustache rocks, huh? I'm like, yeah, man. So I had a perspective of the neighbor because back like 10 years ago when I had a dog in the backyard, he would bark all the time. My neighbor would just call the cops. And literally, I could do nothing about stopping the dog from barking.

But I'd get the cops over all the time because of it. And then I'd ask the neighbor, I'm like, hey, are you calling the cops? And he's like, no, I'm not calling the cops. He's the only one. Like, I knew all the other neighbors. And they're like, dude, we would never do that. So I don't know.

You really can shut a dog up. In the daytime. In the daytime. At night, it's probably a different issue because more people will be upset about it. You're right. I'm sticking to it. I like my story.

I like my perspective here. All right, Rachel, good luck. Update us if you ever send him a note or you walk over and say, I think most people generally love to help out. For example, we were shooting something at my house for IHeart Country Festival, like a trivia game, Kelsey Ballerini and I did. So she came over to the house, we're shooting it. But this neighbor was mowing.

It was loud in the audio. All you could hear is, man. And I was like, man, I don't want to go ask my neighbor to stop mowing. it's the daytime. That's when you do mow. And so the guy that was working with us goes, I'll just go have a little talk with him. It's not a big deal. Walks over, he goes, hey, we're shooting something over here. Would you care? He goes, oh, no, no problem at all.

I'll just go hop over here. But he was a good guy. He was just like, no problem. So you never know what people will do. It's just like in life, in business. You know, if you tell people your goals, they can help you get them. If you tell her the problem, maybe they can keep that dog a little quieter. All right, Rachel, have a great day. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you. Thank you, guys, too. All right, bye, bye. Hi. Call us if you want, 877-77 Bobby. There's a story about the $2.5 million engagement ring. Do you want it? Yeah.

Do you know who it is? No. They had to return a $2.5 million engagement ring. And do you get the same price? No, when you bring it back, it's devalues. It's got to be like a card, dude, as soon as it gets up a lot. I don't think that's true. I don't, because I work with jewelry places and they're like, hey, if you have a ring, you buy a diamond,

you come back in a year, we'll give you that plus percentage. Oh. Okay, so maybe it's opposite. Well, I don't know if you buy it and it goes up immediately. But Demi Lovato returned her diamond engagement ring, value between $2.5 million and $3 million. Who gave that to her? That Max guy she was with?

I don't even know how you have that. Max guy did, no, there's no way. She bought it. I don't know what happened. Maybe he took out a loan. That's a big loan. Yeah. Wow.

I'm just speculating here because he didn't have that kind of money. But if you meet and marry someone that has that much money and you don't have that much money, what are you supposed to do? Yeah, credit card it. But you have a credit card with that kind of limit? You're discovered. Don't have that, Eddie? It doesn't know. Definitely not. The celebrity blog, Crazy Days and Nights, reports that Demi's next step

will be to file a restraining order against him, too. Oh, my. Whoa. Mack initially complained. Demi never officially broke up. giving back the ring. Audison Max, a clear message he can understand. You know who else is having the

you know, do the order called when you can't be around someone? The restraining order is the people from the Bachelor. The Colton, Colton. That thing continues to move forward. That's embarrassing. If you're a public figure and someone has to get a restraining order on you

because of a relationship, that's embarrassing. Bad look. So, good luck to her. I guess, right? Is that like her second engaged? Was she the one that was engaged to Pete Davidson? No. Oh.

Ariana Grande. Ah, they're the same person to me. Not to me. The two that are the same to me are Demi and Selena Gomez. Okay. Ariana Grande is her own person to me, but Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez are the same person to me. In their music plays, they sound the same to me. Who's the girl with a one name?

Madonna? No, no, forget it. Share. Pink. No. Demi Lovato and... Shakira? No, she's like current. Vianz? Baldy or...

Halsey? Halsey. Baldy? Baldy? Halsey and Demi Lavato are the same people to me. What if you're a... Baldi? Here she is, guys. With her new hit. Our new artist. You're gonna love her. Baldi.

Nathan in Iowa, you are on the Bobby Bone show. What's up, ma'am? Hi. My girlfriend actually got me listening to the show when we first started dating. And this week is our one-year anniversary. So I wanted to give her a shout out. Happy anniversary, Hannah. Oh, nice. What do you guys do together that you guys kind of bond over? Well, we just got a puppy, so that's taking up most of our time right now.

Oh, man, puppies are a lot. They are cute as can be. However, they are a lot of work. And it's not just the money you have to pay to make sure the dog stays healthy and you need, You have to buy a little crate at first, a crate train it. You have to buy all the dog bowls. But you're also going to have casualties in your house of furniture, pieces of furniture.

Because they like to chew. Just random things are going to pee on and ruin. My dog came into the bedroom the other morning. We have this like cow skin rug that Caitlin ordered online. And my dog is the healthiest he's ever been. He was a sick dog for the entire first year of his life. He's really nailing it now. but he comes in and he's well trained in the bathroom.

He just goes, looks at me and just pees right in front of me. He looks at you while he's doing it. And so I go, yeah, I'm like, do you feel bad? Did I not let you out in time in the morning? I don't know, but that hasn't happened with him in a long time. Then I'm just worried he's sick again because he's been sick for so long. But I tell you, once you get that dog trained up, nothing like it. Like I'm in a good place with my dog now where I just enjoy him.

Except for when he jumps on people coming over to the house because he still is a little jumpy. He likes for people to play with him. He thinks he's a puppy because he's a bull. Bulldog, and he will hit dudes right in their junk with his head. Just right in it. And how heavy is he? 65 pounds. 65 pounds away, right in your...

Right in it, and he's also like three inches tall. He's like a big old chunk. So, all right, Nathan, why I appreciate that. Do you play video games to your girl? Yeah. What games? We're very similar. Oh, sorry.

No, what games do you guys play? Well, she usually plays the Sims, and I play. some online competitive games that she tried to get into. I appreciate her trying to get into it, but it can get very complicated. Well, I hope you have a happy anniversary, and thank you for calling, and tell her we say hello.

Thank you. All right, see you later, man. Caitlin doesn't play games. She won't play video games anymore. However, I played one game of NBA 2K last night. Did you? Yeah, and she'll just come and chill. Like, she was working.

She does software, her job is software for oil and gas. and she'll sit in there and work while I'm playing just to kind of be around. Does she ever watch one of your games and like encourage you? Sometimes I try to impress her though. Like I'll nail a three and I'll look back like, did you see that? And she's like, what do you?

She's like, it's a video game. One time though I got embarrassed because I was playing where I'm playing with other people and my microphone is external. I just talked through a little camera on my TV so it comes over the screen. And I was playing and it was a bunch of people from all over the country and I was playing by myself and I didn't know anybody else. But I wasn't playing very well.

And this guy kept calling me garbage. He goes, Bobby, you're garbage. And she was there, and I was so embarrassed. And I was like, I'm just playing. Don't worry. This is my friend Chuck. And he was like, you're the worst player ever with this game. Never turn it back on.

And he wouldn't stop and I couldn't get him to shut up. I was a little bit humiliated. Yeah. People were mean on there, man. What? It was just, she was there. I know. Listen, I suck all the time.

They don't have to call you garbage, though. They love you. He was like, you should never boot the game back up. You're a clown, bro. You're a clown. I was like, I just turned on my character. And my girlfriend's right next to me. Dude, chill.

All right. Let's see you here. Luke, what's going on, man? Hey, Bobby, how you doing this morning? Pretty good. Appreciate you calling. What do you want to say? Oh, well, you know, love the show.

Listen to everything in a normal way to work. Tell me something good with everything going on in the world right now. It's trying to hear. Appreciate that, man. Hey, I want to, let's try this. I'm glad you're on the phone right now. I like you. Let's give old Luke a chance to win a prize here.

Do you have a few minutes to hang out, Luke? Sure do, Bobby. All right, so we teamed up with Audible to give a caller, which is going to be our buddy Luke in Arkansas here, a chance to win a free $500 Amazon gift card. Oh, my God. Yeah. An echo device and a one-year audible membership.

We're going to play Guess the Narrarator. You're going to listen to a clip from an Audible title from a musician that we love and see if you can guess who it is. Oh, cool. And so what's going to happen, Luke, is I'm going to let you hear it. and if you don't know it, you can go to a lifeline in the studio, which is Lunchbox or Eddie or Morgan number two, okay? Okay.

Could you use a $500 Amazon card, though? Oh, my wife would buy some more cricket stuff with it. Sure. Cricket stuff or cooking stuff? I thought she said cricket. Cricket. She makes t-shirts and decals and stuff like that. She'd buy a heat press.

I don't know. With crickets on it? No, no. The cricket is the brand. Oh, okay. Hey, listen, I don't know. For me, I used to work at a marina, and we used to have to put crickets in a canister. I used to have to go collect crickets. And I was like, cricket stuff, huh?

You should people fishing? You never know. All right. We have three of these. Up number one. I'm going to say this. Since 1993, she's received over 30 Grammy nominations. Okay, this is narrator number one.

Here we go. Play the clip, please. Sitting down for me at the piano is, you know, it can be cathartic, but it's not going to heal everything. Okay, that's tough. Whoa, man. Luke, your hint, your first hint, since 1993. Never heard it.

Can you not hear it through the phone? No, I never heard it through the phone. Can you hear that music? Turn the music up there, Ray. Can you hear this, Luke? Do you hear music? No, don't hear anything. Well, you're not even on the air.

Now I hear it. Wait, oh, now you do. We push your button? Okay, let's try it again. Here we go, play it again. Sitting down for me at the piano is, you know, it can be cathartic, but it's not going to heal everything. I'm going to give you one more hint.

She was a backup singer for Michael Jackson. 30 Grammy nominations. She was a backup singer for Michael Jackson. Who do you think that is? Why? Okay. Eddie, you got this on you. Good call, good call.

I got it for him. Cheryl Crow. That is Cheryl Crow. That's right. Are you only need one more? Only one more. Nice job. Okay.

Here we go. Number two, in 2011, this next artist that you're going to hear became the first country act to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with their first studio album. So 2011, first album, the first country act to debut at number one with that album. A little confusing here, but here's the clip. There's something magical about walking around Augusta National, of course that so many greats and golf have played.

It gives you a greater appreciation for the difficulty of the game and the beauty of the sport. Like so many things, you can't fully understand and appreciate something until you journey through it with your own two feet. All right, Luke, what do you think about that? Oh, man, that's tough. Mm-hmm. I'll give you another hint. Is a North Carolina native? Carolina.

Oh, boy. Dang, I do not know. You can hit a lifeline. I don't know. You got cricket on the line here. What do you get? I'll go back to Eddie. Jeez.

I got him. Eddie? I got him. That's Scotty McCreary. That's correct. That is Scottie McCreery. Here you go, man. Congratulations.

And hey, quick shout out to my two-year-old today, John Ross. He turns two today, so super excited about that. Why'd you break him off a little bit of that for a birthday present? Instead of just getting the cricket. We could. So I live about 15 minutes from one of your friends, Justin Moore. Oh, you live near Poin?

That's AMU. APUS.org. This is a voicemail from Donna in Northport, Alabama. I just wanted to comment about best and worst that you guys did the other morning. My best feeling is brand new, thick, white socks. I don't know why, but it's the most comfortable feeling. And the worst feeling ever is wet socks.

I do not like my feet being wet when I have socks on. Sounds like she's just dedicated to socks. Because mine were both time-related. My best feeling is when I get to go to bed without setting an alarm and I just sleep until I want. My worst was being late for something. So as much as I'm consumed with time, she is consumed with socks.

Yes. And she's also confused about the, game. She thinks the feeling too of... Oh, physical. Yeah, it's like best feel. Go back and listen to Yesterday's podcast. You can hear that whole segment.
