Bobby boss
Yeah, thanks for hanging out
Tuesday morning
Had a pretty late night
Last night
Doing a little performing
I performed
The Darius and Friends concert
Did a couple of songs
And that was the worst
By far
By far
I mean, I don't think you're the worst
Wasn't even close
But I have fun
And that's all that matters
That's right
Did Chick-filet
Fight for your right
I'll tell you more about that later
But yeah
You know how
By the way,
Goodmore Studio
Morning
You know how much
I love time travel stories
Oh yeah for sure
Love them
I can read them all day long
I especially like people who come back
and tell us about the future
So this guy James Oliver
believes he is stuck in 2018
After his time machine broke down
He's from 6491
The year?
Oh wow
Wow
That's a long ways away
The alleged time travelers
Said earth will heat up
And aliens will be discovered
So they did what you do
With any time traveler
They put him on a lie detector
And he passed the lie detector
He did not
He did he passed a lie detector
Attack in his show
No
And a shit, we did not.
A lie detector test showed he was telling the truth one question.
His story was doubted, but paranormal experts said they were blown away when they put it to the test,
and the results show he was telling the truth.
Wow, what is life like in 64-something?
6491, to be specific.
He, Mr. Oliver, claims he lives more than centuries in the future, was sent back in time.
It was not supposed to happen.
His machine broke down, and they blurred out his face out because he goes,
Where I'm from, the years are longer.
My planet is further away from the sun than yours is, so it takes longer to get around.
But they have gifted mathematicians.
That's on Earth.
Yeah.
No, no.
It's not on Earth.
That's the point.
It's not on another planet.
Yes.
He's from 6000.
The year 6000.
The year 6000.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
So, just start your day with that little mind nugget there.
Recognizing people, doing cool things.
It's ICU.
A couple of California Highway Patrol officers helped rescue bear cubs that were stranded in a sewer near South Lake Tahoe.
What they did is someone called and said, hey, these baby bears are stuck in a sewer pipe.
They couldn't get down there.
So they took a little bit of ladder and they put it down and the bears crawled out of the ladder.
Stop.
Yeah.
This is too cute.
Yeah, so they crawled out of the ladder.
The mom, which is always risky messing with baby anythings, but the mom was waiting nearby.
they ran back to the mom and they disappeared in the woods.
Oh, I love it.
The mom is, yeah, in a tree nearby.
Yeah, and thank goodness, yeah, the mom just kind of chilled and waited.
Because, yeah, she may come and be like, what do you do with my baby bears?
Man, the mama bear came up to me and spoke English.
All right, over to Ramundo with the news.
The Bobby Bone Show.
Big Three Stories.
It's producer Raymond in the Stanley Cup finals.
The Washington Capitals won six to two over the Vegas Golden Knights.
Washington leads the series three games to one.
In Hawaii, that volcano, the destruction toll is now 117 homes.
Officials said residents should be prepared to evacuate with little notice.
A big eruption could be coming.
And finally, in weather news, tons of rain in the northeast.
That rain's going to move out tomorrow, 80s and 90s for everybody else today.
Over the last weekend, you went to San Antonio?
Yeah, went there to celebrate my husband's parents' 50th wedding anniversary.
crazy, huh? Yeah. It was pretty
crazy to like, I mean, they reenacted their cake
cutting and everything. And then we played
that not so newlywed game
where, you know, we've kind of done that
with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill here before
where you ask all these questions. It was cute
to see them, they like got answers right.
It was cool. I don't know what that is. Oh, well,
one spouse leaves the room and the
other one's sitting there and you ask them like,
how does, you know, your spouse like
their eggs cooked? And you say scrambled
and when the spouse comes in, they better say scrambled
especially after 50 years.
Or like, what's your favorite vacation?
And they both said the exact same place that they went years ago.
And, oh, they both remembered their very first date.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Is that inspiring to you?
Yeah, I mean, it was really cool.
Like, everyone in the room was definitely in awe of them and just, just like that they've made it,
and they shared some tips and all the things.
So it's pretty cool.
So you said some listeners came up to you to say hello,
but your kids didn't quite understand what's happening.
Yeah, they don't.
I mean, it happens a little bit here,
there, but where we were staying, I guess
as a hot spot, we were in San Antonio
and a lot of people from Austin
go there for the weekend with their families, so we were
out at the pool and it's packed and
they met a lot of listeners
and they would come up and they'd be like, oh my goodness,
so great to finally see you in person
and meet you and they're like, hi.
Oh, they were talking to the kids.
Yeah, to the kids, not to me.
Which is really sweet.
Like, it's fine, but
then the kids get confused.
Like, even my husband was out there without me,
He said people were coming up to the kids.
And he's like, I think, you know, I think they might be confused.
Like, why do these people talk to us?
Like, they don't get it.
Do your kids know kind of what you do yet?
I mean, they get it.
They get that Bobby and Eddie and Lunchwalks and Amy were on the radio.
But they don't know that that means there's listeners.
They don't understand that side of it and meeting people.
So they're just kind of walk away like, who was that?
Are we related to them?
Is that our friend?
Are we going to see them again?
I'm like, probably not.
That's funny.
Yeah.
Well, congratulations.
Congratulations to your parents-in-laws.
So Lunchbox is 0 for 40 in his last string of games.
I have something in your real house, lunchbox.
Okay.
It's 90s catchphrase game.
Oh, that's me.
What year were you born, Lunchbox?
1981.
All right.
Let's introduce our players here to my left.
Mom of two, but cool to all.
That's right.
My co-host, Amy.
Yeah, yeah.
Sadly, he hasn't been here.
won a game in 40 games.
Oh for 40.
But still looks good.
But still looks good.
Still plans on striking for our show on Friday at the Riemman.
Correct.
He's going to walk outside the front.
Have you just settled on a chant yet?
No, you guys didn't really like mine, so I think Riemann won't pay so we stay away.
It might be the best.
Okay.
Lunchbox, everybody.
A little more enthusiasm in the class, guys.
And they call him Mr. All I Do is Win.
No, you don't.
No one calls him that.
Some people do.
Our video producer, producer ready!
Yeah!
All right, the other one clapping.
Yep, I'm not going to clap for that.
90s catchphrase game.
I shall go around the room, one, two, three, one, two, three.
Amy, you're first.
Can you name what TV show or a movie this comes from?
Here you go, number one.
Did I do that?
Family matters.
Family matters, she says.
Show me family matters?
Yes, there you go.
Here we go.
Number two, lunchbox.
Ready?
You got it, dude.
Oh, it's full house.
Full house.
Right, yeah.
All right, let's get the claps up here, boys.
I know it's early.
Yeah, you guys don't like clapping for me.
It's okay.
Eddie, come on.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
Oh, friends?

Wow.
Get out of here.
What is that?
Wayne's World.

All right.
All right, one to one to zero.
Amy, over to you.
Oh, me, to fire!

Yeah.
That's what he's paid to do.
Lunchbox.
Yeah.
Eat my shorts.
Oh, the Simpsons.
The Simpsons.
Yeah.
I was in for Halloween one year.
Eddie, if you missed this one, you're out.
I know.
What you got?
90s catchphrases.
I got it.
Titanic.
Titanic.
He said, show me.
Tintatatat Titanic.
Yeah.
Come on me, guys.
Amy.
Yeah.
Ready.
Life was like a box of chocolates.
Forest gum.
You never know what you're going to do.
Amy's our scum.
Show me for his gum?
Yeah.
Lunchbox.
Yep, that's me.
I have mercy.
What?
Have mercy.
Oh, sorry.
Good luck.
No idea.
Have mercy.
Answer?
Aladdin.
Aladdin?
You guys know the answer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Full house.
Again, full house.
I'm going to get it.
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, there's no rules.
It's a softball.
You got two of the same show.
No, that is not.
That's bull.
Eddie.
Of course.
Do it that way.
How you doing?
Okay, there we go, friends.
Friends, yeah.
Well, that's the end of the game.
Who was it?
Yeah, who won?
I did.
What's the score?
Amy gets three.
Me and Lunchbox have two.
Oh, Amy.
Amy!
Some would say it was cheating that I gave you the same show twice.
No, no.
Someone would say you did that as a trick.
No, but it's so obvious that that is full house.
That's Uncle Jesse, dude.
Have mercy.
Aladdin?
Aladdin?
Yeah.
Who said that?
Jasmine?
I don't know.
I don't want to go out.
My song's playing.
She goes.
There she goes again.
There she goes again.
There she goes.
And she knows all the phrases.
Congratulations, Dana.
Thank you.
Stop it.
The latest from Nashville and Hollywood.
Amy's 32nd Skinny.
Florida Georgia Line is doing a residency in Las Vegas.
It's all going down in December at Planet Hollywood.
There's going to be nine shows.
It should be pretty awesome if you want to check that out.
And the Walmart Yodeling Kid, Mason Ramsey, will be their opener.
So Dolly Parton might be getting her own Netflix show.
Rumor has it that they're going to be doing a series about Dolly's songs,
sort of like she did with Code of Many Colors.
And then also she may have a little guest appearance on her 9 to 5 co-star show, Grace and Frankie.
So that would be pretty cool if that ends up happening.
I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds getting.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Stay home is something good.
Most people know Ray Allen because he played in the NBA for years, won a couple championships,
made a lot of money, but he started a foundation called Ray a Hope Foundation,
where he likes to give back to the community, help the kids out.
Well, he built a computer lab for Lake Stevens,
middle school in Miami, 30 computers, all new furniture.
They didn't have a single computer for the kids.
Wow.
And he said, they need computers to keep up.
So his foundation built a whole new computer lab.
That's cool, especially now, because you have to have a computer.
Oh, for sure.
They have a single computer in the school, huh?
No, not for students.
Wow.
Wow, good for that, dude.
I was talking to Matt Carney on the latest Bobbycast, and we got into Oregon Trail a bit,
because that, for us, was a big deal we were kids.
Yeah.
You're young right now.
You probably don't even know about Oregon Trail,
but you would go to the computer lab
and play this dumb game with terrible graphics.
Yeah.
And try to get down the Oregon Trail alive.
I wonder if we go over to Morgan Trill.
Did you guys have organ trail?
I never played it, but I do know about it.
Oh, the history books had it, huh?
Yeah.
I played like Roller Coaster Tycoon.
That was more of our style.
I don't know that.
See, 24-year-olds I even know about...
Man.
But I don't know about Roller Coahuahuahuahuahuahuahuahuahuahuahuahu.
Yeah.
Oh, so there you have it.
Ray Allen, shout out.
That's a tell me something good.
Bobby Bung Show.
Boney up the day.
This story comes to us from Missouri.
A 59-year-old man was arrested after he drove his motorcycle through private yards because he didn't have a driver's license.
He wanted to get down to the bar.
And he's like, man, how can I get there without breaking the law?
If I don't drive it on the street, I can't be arrested.
He kind of has a point, right?
I mean, sort of.
I mean, in a bit, in a twisted way, the driver's license is to drive on the.
the road. It's illegal.
But if he's in a yard,
I'm not saying it was the right move, because obviously
he got in trouble, right? Yeah, he got arrested
for vandalism. For tearing
up the yard. Yeah, because he tears up the yard. Not for driving.
And driving without a license, but
he tore up the yards as he's driving through.
Because if you have some private property...
You don't need a license to...
I don't know, but I used to write all kinds of things
of private property when I was a kid.
Well, that's funny. He shouldn't do that,
nor should anyone else listening right now. No driving
in yards. Thank you, Lunchbox.
I'm Lunchbox. I'm Lunchbox. I'm
your bonehead story of the day.
Mr. Bobby Bones.
Man, really appreciate everybody hanging out with us.
I want to bring on our producer
Ramundo.
He chops audio all morning long.
Coming to you from the glass room.
Our audio producer,
Raymondo. There he is.
Hey, so, Ramundo has this
odd fascination with Sam Hunt.
I mean, loves him.
I believe you said
you would rather hang out with Sam Hunt.
then hang out with Kate Upton.
Easily, no doubt about it.
I can see Kate Upton whenever I won the computer.
But can't you see Samhunt whenever you're going out?
It's not like chilling with the boys.
It's the camaraderie.
It's being in person.
3D.
What?
3D.
Yeah.
Oh, like you see.
Yeah.
Okay, so Ray's fascinated with Samhline.
So Ray has tried to befriend Van Hunt, Sam's brother.
And so you guys have been exchanging messages over Instagram.
Yeah, and so I've been checking out his Instagram stories, and he finally talked for the first time, so I got to hear what his voice sounds like.
You're so weird.
I know it's creepy, but listen, he sounds just like Sam.
So Raymond has put up a clip of Van Hunt talking.
Here we go.
Excuse me, ma'am.
You have to pay for that.
Exactly like Sam Hunt.
His giggle is spot on.
Same giggle?
Exactly.
Let me hear this again.
This is Van Hunt, Sam's brother.
Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
You have to pay for that.
I mean, I'm telling you, that sounds like Sam's right here in the room with us right now.
Okay, here's Sam.
I am kind of big and cumbersome when I come into a, maybe coffee shops.
I stand out at coffee shops, I think.
But why is this even a thing?
Why did you bring this to me?
Because he sounds like one of the best singers of our generation.
That's awesome.
It's his brother.
What if Garth had a brother and he came in?
He sounds exactly like Garth.
He probably does.
That is so cool.
Yeah?
I'll be hanging out with him in person.
I'll be like, hey man, you should sing Downtown's Dead real quick.
for kicks.
You're talking about it to Van.
Yeah.
Van Hunt.
Yeah.
I wonder if Van can't even sing.
I bet he can.
I bet he just has a couple things that he's not as great as Sam at.
And that's why he's not a singer.
I bet he's very good too.
So you're trying to hang out with the van.
Yeah.
That's the first goal.
The first.
And then after that, next thing you know, Thanksgiving dinner, it's me, Van, and Sam at the Thanksgiving family table.
Totally.
Yeah.
Am I the only one that thinks is a creeper or no?
I think it's cool.
Ray is a creepster.
There you go.
Thank you.
Raymond.
Good luck with that.
See, I tell you what, I will give you the ability to book Van Hunt on the show if you want to.
Okay.
If you want to bring Van in and interview him, we'll bring Van Hunt in.
Okay.
All right.
What do you reach out to him and say on the DM?
Just be like, for the interview?
No, no, just in general.
Like if you reach out to him.
Oh, it's always, oh, man, what city in?
You're promoting your product.
That's cool.
When you back in Nashville, just simple stuff like that.
And you still haven't decided on time to get together.
No, he told me he's got this van that he ran it out and he's across the country right now.
Van has a van?
Van has a van.
Wow.
And here he's laughing one more time.
Excuse me, ma'am.
You have to pay for that.
He was playing a prank on somebody.
Yeah, he's doing funny stuff like that.
Well, that was van.
Now I feel like I need to follow Van on.
Van Hunt.
Is that what he is on Instagram?
I got a check.
I don't know.
You just follow him.
You don't read the words.
I mean, if you search Van Hunt, it'll probably.
I'll pull his up, yeah.
All right, there he is.
Ramundo, our producer,
fascinated with Sam Hunt,
so he's become fascinated with Van Hunt.
All right, time now for a never going to get it.
You ready in the room?
Yeah.
Ready.
One third of women said that if they could go back
and change one thing from their wedding,
it would be this.
Okay, one third of women,
they say if they could go back
and change one thing about their wedding,
it would be this.
Amy's thinking about it hard.
Don't answer.
because you may get it.
Lunchbox, you can spoil it if you get it.
Go ahead.
Yeah, guest list.
The guest list.
Wow.
Dang it.
Show me guest list.
No.
What?
It's a Bobby Bones show.
So a third of women said that if they could go back and change one thing from their wedding, it would be this.
Eddie, you got married how long ago?
12 years ago.
What do you think the answer is?
I would say cut the alcohol.
What?
Yeah, too much alcohol.
Everyone was too drunk.
At the wedding?
Terrible answer.
Ah, wow.
Show me cut back.
the alcohol. Hit it. Oh, no.
Lunchbox, you guessed. Yeah, I said guessless, but I got a new one.
Okay, go ahead.
Bridesmaids. Oh, wow. That was mine. Yep.
They would change the bride. Oh, you like to double up on that one.
Yeah, you'd like to double up. I'll change mine now.
Yeah, change it. You don't want to get it right? Change it.
You say bridesmaids. Yeah. Show me bridesmaids.
Woo! Okay. Amy.
Cake flavor. Cake flavor.
That was nice. He didn't even entertain that one.
Sorry, bridesmaid. That was my original.
One third of women said.
they could go back and change one thing.
The groom.
That's funny, but that's funny.
The groom.
Is it?
Oh my gosh.
The group.
The answer is their hair.
Oh, okay, yeah.
I probably would have changed mine a little bit.
I kind of was when the bump it was really cool.
You did have a bump in your head.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Hey, so you got married how long ago, Amy?
11 and a half?
Who's the leader?
Eddie?
Eddie.
Yeah, yeah, been married the longest.
12.
12 years.
Amy?
11.
and a half.
Lunchbox?
Three years, one month.
What up?
Wow.
Congrats me.
Three years and a month.
And I'm at zero.
Oh, yeah.
You're a negative.
You're still looking for that here.
There's no negative.
There's no, stop it with that.
It's not a negative.
I already feel lonely, okay?
Oh, sorry.
We don't need to dig in.
I need to dig.
I moved into a new house.
And by the way, I get a lot of crap online.
Because since I've lived in Nashville for five and a half years, I've had four houses.
But let me just say,
this, this is why it happened. When I moved here,
I didn't know where I was moving. And someone said, you should live in this
neighborhood. And so I moved down there, but it was
half an hour from work. And I was traveling. I was like,
this will not work. Then I moved
to a condo downtown,
and it flooded. I had to move.
It wasn't your fault. It wasn't my fault. The guy
hit a waterman, and it flooded the entire building.
So, instead of living in a hotel,
I had to get my dog a yard. So I went
and lived in a house just until
I found my Forever home, which I'm in now.
Which I love that that's what we call
it, is the Forever Home. And Bobby,
plans on bought this house with the intention of filling it up with a wife and a kid.
Yeah, or two or three.
Really?
Well, let me tell you, I almost set up a Bumble account.
I was so close.
Amy, I, look at look at this.
Let me show you at some.
I got on Bumble.
Like halfway downloaded.
No, no, no.
It's downloaded, but it's not all the way set up.
There are two pictures in it, and I just couldn't go forth with it.
Now I need to introduce myself because I've already put my pictures in there.
You should go forth with it.
Should I, though?
Yeah, that's the first step everybody takes when they want to start a family.
But here's the thing with Bumble, right?
That's the first thing.
It's true.
I mean, these days.
Let me say this, though.
I have, I don't have a hook in the water.
Not a single hook in the water.
I don't meet people.
Yeah.
That's the first hook in the water.
Bumble.
Now you need some bait.
No, Bumble, I have not seen, I would say you go Tender.
No, I'm not trying to, I'm not trying to do that.
No, no, no.
Look, I know more people that have gotten married from Tinder than I do Bumble.
But Tinder back in the day was kind of a dating app, kind of a hook up.
Well, I know people have been married from me.
match.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
Farmers only too.
Farmers only.
I didn't think about that.
There's that one.
Mother's chat room ASL.
My point is that
I now, oh, and when I moved to houses,
something bad always happens.
The first house I lived in,
dude killed his wife.
Like right up the road.
And then ran around on the streets
of the gun and they had to lock us all in our house.
Oh, like a bow and arrow, right?
Yeah, I think he had maybe a crossbow,
but I don't know.
Okay.
No way, I think it was a gun, aim.
Okay, sorry.
Maybe different person.
Like you're thinking of Robin Hood.
That story's terrible, though.
That was a good movie.
And then after that, I lived in a condo and it flooded.
And then after that, once my stuff started getting broken into my last house, they broke into my Jeep.
I was out.
I was out.
Well, and then there's memories associated with that house.
You bought that for your dog, and then your dog passed away.
It was a cancer.
And I think you needed to get out of that house.
I did.
And let me tell you about this house now.
There's nothing in it.
It's like a couch.
I walk in.
It's like, oh, la, love, oh, oh, oh.
I don't even know what pictures are put out because I can't see color.
I'm colorblind, so I had to go to someone and be like, help me pick out pictures for the wall.
Yeah, because this is your forever home.
It's my forever home.
Yeah.
But Eddie just found a story.
This is from my neighborhood.
Go ahead.
Yeah, somebody got attacked by a man with a hatchet.
Going to a personal trainer.
In my neighborhood?
Yeah.
That's what you do, man.

Well, I don't know if he's still there, but that's where it happened.
So, wait, why did the person attack him with the hatchet?
They don't know. They don't really have no information.
Oh, this is a real thing.
This is a real thing.
I think it's a terrible. Wherever I go, always

Yeah.
Man, I can see in her face and maybe it went a little awkward,
and so I was trying to be like, no, not in a creepy way.
But if you just move off, if you ever have to go, hey, I know this may seem creepy,
the best thing to do is just get away from it.
Yeah, you're good.
There you go.
Kelsey Ballard.
What's up?
Cliff's amazing.
I had no idea to exist.
I'm done.
Are you jealous? I sang with the Backstreet Boy last night?
Oh, I mean, you killed it. It was awesome. I got to witness it, so I feel honored to have been there.
But yeah, a little jealous.
Yeah, so A.J. McLean and the Backstreet Boys was with the rhyming because I was singing with Darius last night.
Yeah? And so this is us singing I want it that way.
I never want to hear you say. I want it that way. I do want it that way. I do.
Walk it that way.
It's pretty good.
Which way?
How about that?
Wow.
How about that?
My senior year of high school self was like geeking out.
But totally being chill.
Yeah, I was being chill too.
We were being so chill, but on the inside we were like, oh my gosh.
We'll tell you about it later, but we were being so cool.
I want to hear about this.
I need to know.
I have something to say.
We'll talk about it later.
Okay.
About Bobby's coolness.
Do you want to talk about it?
And it smells good.
Thank you.
Oh, we just need the yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
Good clip.
That's like the worst club ever.
Ray's like I put the club up and it's logical one.
Hey, it's on.
Hey, it's on good.
All right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, thank you.
You good over there?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You made a clip.
Lunchbox.
Congratulations.
You've been isolated.
Do you feel like your performance with Darius last night was awesome?
Yeah.
I did too.
Yeah.
Are you happy to be here today?
She dies in the minute.
Then she looked for somebody to help her?
Yes, I get it.
You happy it's Tuesday?
Yeah.
Me too.
That's it.
That's right.
I was looking at you guys for help.
I was last night, so I played this show of Darius, and I posted some pictures on my
Instagram, but I was getting hammered at how tight my jeans were.
Really?
Hammered.
People were like, are you wearing Amy's pants tonight?
Rude, people are rude.
But you did look, your shirt was tight too.
Yeah, Amy sent me a text last night and she goes, hey, I think you're too skinny.
I'm like, I'm not in a run way.
I just said, well, no, we were sharing.
Not in a rude way, because I don't want to be that person that's like, eat a cheeseburger.
Every time I pose a picture, eat a cheeseburger.
Yeah, those people are annoying.
But I were texting pictures back and forth, and I thought you would take it as a compliment since I know you want to be skinny right now.
So I was like, you look super skinny in all these pictures.
but also there's a little bit of concern with it.
Yeah, there's a little concern from you.
Yeah.
I'm the same.
I'm just trying to keep my weight.
My weight right now, I try to keep it around 152 and a half.
Okay.
And anything over, I've got to pop it back down.
Anything under, I'm able to have a bite of a cheeseburger with no bread.
You know what I mean?
That's some skinny jeans.
I know, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Yeah.
Did they feel tight?
I mean, what does skin feel like anyway?
Could you walk upstairs with those jeans?
Yeah, of course I could.
Yeah, they're tight, but that's what you wear.
Tight jeans.
I wear tight jeans and oversized shirts.
That's my life.
Okay.
What?
That shirt was, I feel like I need that shirt.
Oh, that t-shirt was thin.
Yeah, it was in 1984 George Strait tour t-shirt.
I mean, it will fit me, so if you want to...
Oh, stop it with that.
That's why people, when you're going, it'll fit me.
You're thin and small.
Okay, I'm just saying I love George Strait.
Here is Lanko, talking about how they now have a bigger spot on the bill
than the raging idiot.
Yeah, how about that?
We used to always play festivals,
and Lanco would have to play
before the Raging Idiots, Eddie and my band.
Oh, what else is going on with Lanko
the rest of the year?
Oh, man, we've got a crazy year.
We're out right now on the road
with Dirk Spantley and Brothers Osborne
on the Mountain High Tour,
so we're on that pretty much
until the end of the year.
Yeah, man, that's about it.
All right, which is, I say that's about it,
but that's a lot.
We're pretty excited, you know.
We're above the raging idiots
in some of these lineups,
which is a good feat for us, you know?
Enjoy it, boys.
We finally made it.
That's funny.
We played this humongous festivals,
and Eddie and I have a band called The Raging Idiots,
and we'd be playing primetime spots,
and they'd be playing earlier in the day.
It was pretty awkward.
We'd give them high-fives walking by.
That was awesome.
We'd always rub it in, too.
Thanks for warming them up for us, boys.
Yeah, boy, I appreciate that.
We'll take it from here.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
This kid Thomas was born 18 years ago, a police officer helped deliver him on the side of the road in Maryland.
And so the officer, Robert Hunt, surprised him at his graduation.
Wow.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Think about that.
I don't know.
It's a long time.
And then to still know what's up with his life.
And I bet you, as a cop, you don't forget that.
Like, you delivered a baby on the side of the road.
You're probably always looking to see what's up with that baby.
Yeah.
So yeah, he surprised him.
He said November 13th, 1999,
probably one of the best things
ever happened in my life,
which was delivering that baby
and the kids graduated in high school.
They've kept in touch over the years
through one Christmas yard,
one Christmas card a year,
and then he came to the graduation.
So, hey, to that police officer, one,
that's awesome.
You delivered a baby.
He didn't deliver in dash?
Oh, I hate delivering dashers.
And then he showed up at the graduation.
That's cool.
And that's a tell me something good.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
I'm presenting on the CMT Awards tomorrow night.
I'm going to reveal my date coming up in one second,
but Morgan number two, our 24-year-old,
has a list of people she thinks I'm taking for my date.
Yes.
How many is on this, Miss Morgan?
Four.
Four people.
Wow.
At number four, you think it will be...
One of your exes.
One of my exes.
How many of my exes could I actually take, though?
That's a good question.
Huh.
How many live here?
They can fly in.
There's airplanes.
Oh, there are.
Two of them would be easy to take.
Okay.
Yeah.
So you think it's one of my exes.
Yes.
Okay, there you go.
Number three.
A random Bumble date.
Ooh, I did talk about maybe getting on Bumble.
Am I actually already on Bumble and I was just feeling it out there?
Okay.
That's a big first date.
Unless I've already been out with them.
Give me somebody from Bumble.
Yeah.
Number two?
Mike D.
Ooh, gets no sexier than that guy.
Is that right, Mike D.
A.K.A. Quiet Mike, aka Metamuse on Mike.
If you waste a little bit more than that.
If you waste this night on Mike D, there's something wrong with you.
And number one, you think...
Amy.
Amy.
Okay.
Well, I'll let you know in the next 10 minutes.
Lunchbox, who you put your money on?
Amy.
That was my guess.
Eddie?
Mike D.
Amy, who do you put your money on?
Mike D.
Now, does anyone put their money on Amy?
You think you're playing possum?
Yes.
Okay.
All right.
We'll find out in just a few minutes.
But you think it's a waste if I used it on anyone other than...
A real date.
because they're going to, if they see you walking down the red carpet and then people taking pictures of you and you getting interviewed and you going up on stage to present or whatever your role is at the show.
Is that cool to people?
Are you kidding me?
Lunchbox wants to date you.
That's a, how do you say it?
Would you go, yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you like me?
Yeah.
Would you want to date me?
Yeah.
Oh, that's, thank you, man.
That's sweet of you.
Okay.
Let's just say they would be melting in your hand.
Well, let's just say
What does that even mean?
Let's just say they'd be melting in like...
Are they an M&M?
What's the other thing?
I know what he wants to say.
Yes, thank you.
No, I can't say that right now.
He wants to say panty dropper.
But that's not melting in your hand.
Well, I couldn't say the other one.
But Bobby's not looking for anything to be dropped.
Yeah.
Yeah, but when they see him walking out of the red carpet, it's just going to happen.
I aim coming over to you.
Oh, it just happens.
Yeah.
Bobby Bonson.
Here we go.
The latest from now.
Nashville in Hollywood.
Amy's 30 Second Skinny.
Garth Brooks is going back on tour.
He announced that he's hitting the road, and he'll have new music soon.
I guess he's going to get the cities out there pretty soon, so we don't know exactly where he's going,
but he will be playing, and his tour is amazing.
Where is he going to tour from?
I don't know.
He's already a tour from everywhere.
I don't know.
How much bigger audience is going to get?
But a new tour.
Why do you do new tours?
Music.
New music.
Is there going to be new music?
Yes
Yes
Will new music be coming to
Sounds like us
No no
Just all yelling around her
Hey
Maybe she had
Lunchbox answering for him
Oh yeah
I'd be like
Is there gonna be new music?
Yeah
Yeah
Is there gonna be a new tour?
Yeah
All right
AJ McLean of the backstreet
McLean
Sorry
I thought you were a backstreet boy fan
Wow
What a poser
What's a poser?
Wow
Poser
Are you a poser?
Yeah
Yeah
AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys premiered his new country song.
It's called Back Porch Bottle Service.
Definitely a little more pop influence there, but I don't mind it.
Do you like it?
It's not even more poppy than some of the other stuff that's played already.
I know.
But I mean, from him, I didn't know.
Is he going to bring, like, straight traditional country or go pop?
Listen, who cares, you know?
I just be honest.
I like, I lie.
He's nice enough.
At this point, ooh.
Who cares? If it's good, we'll play it.
That song's fine. What don't I care?
Who cares at this point? Everybody always comes to me.
What music makes it? Let's just see what the people like. That's why I say.
And I don't, they probably won't like that. But.
That's a great answer, though, when people ask you, hey, what do you think about that song?
Who cares?
You sound like that guy that's like, I'm just here, so I don't get five.
You know, I give the opinions about songs I like.
you know
Hey Bobby, you're
the voice of America
what do you think about this?
Who cares?
Good point.
You know, let's just
people can find what they like.
I don't think it's terrible.
I think people want me to come on
and say it's terrible.
I don't think it's terrible.
It's not terrible.
Is it going to make it?
It's not terrible.
I've heard it.
I've heard worse too.
That's not terrible.
We're probably going to play some worse
coming up later in the hour, you know?
But that's just my opinion.
But who cares?
Who cares?
Yeah, we can play some worse.
That's not terrible.
No, I mean, I'm kind of jamming to it a little bit.
Yeah, there you go.
Okay, I made me. That's your skinny.
Thank you. That's a good skinny, right?
Yeah.
Thank you. That was really good.

Morning Corny.
Morning corny.
What do you call a dead parrot?
That's a dark thing.
It's taking a dark darker.
Oh, man.
What do you call a dead parrot?
Polygon.
Mike last.
I get it.
Yeah, it's funny.
Polly's gone.
Polly want the cracker?
Polygon.
I get it, but a polygon's also a shape.
Exactly.
That's the play on words.
That has it have to do with the...
You know what?
That's a twist.
Who cares?
Oh, my gosh.
That was the morning corny.
Who cares?
Yeah, who cares?
I mean, that's the attitude we have now.
Okay.
I'm tired of watching the news
and everybody getting all but heard about everything.
I don't care.
You know what?
Maybe he wants to tell a joke about a dead parrot?
Letter.
No, I don't...
I think the dead parrot's fine.
But I think that the polygon,
It should have been some sort of shape joke.
What's the shape of a dead parrot?
A polygon.
There you go.
Okay.
Better, better.
Okay, I'll fix it.
Next time you tell it.
Okay.
Hey, Corey, what's going on, bud?
What's going on, Bobby?
First time callers.
Hey, man, I appreciate that.
Hey, I just wanted to know, what was the update on Eddie taking a yellow jacket?
Yesterday on the show, Eddie took four yellow jacket pills from the gas station.
I've always been curious as to how they felt.
So I had Eddie take him.
Yeah.
And he got pretty jacked up during the show.
And then I was watching his end story.
He was lost.
I was jacked up for the rest of the day.
I mean, I'm still feeling the sting from that.
Oh, you're hard.
Yeah, it's not gone.
Like, I'll explain it this way.
I've never noticed my heart in my chest.
Like, never in my life, really.
Unless I'm scared.
Not even like when you're working out.
Sometimes.
I'm like, yeah, whatever.
But I feel it right now.
I know exactly where my heart is in my chest.
You're still.
So you're still feeling.
Yeah, I went to bed at maybe two last night.
Oh, my goodness.
Stayed your rest comfortably.
Dude, it was head on pillow about 9 p.m.
And didn't go to sleep, sleep until about 1.302.
Oh, I just ate oatmeal.
I'm going to pick it up and laugh it so hard.
That's funny.
So do these things work?
Yes.
Yeah, but.
Yeah, you want to stay up?
Corey, turn your radio down, bud.
He's listening to the radio back.
He's listening to the radio back.
Appreciate that call.
Oh, man.
Now I shall announce who I'm taking as my date to the CMT Awards tomorrow night as I am a presenter on the award show.
Drumroll, please.
I got it.
I know I did.
Who did you say?
Mike D.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
No, definitely Amy.
Oh, wow.
Why can't it, you guys think it's like I got a hot date or something?
No chance.
Why is there no chance?
Because we live in reality.
And you wouldn't do that.
Oh, yeah.
You wouldn't take somebody new.
No, you wouldn't take a rando to the CMT awards.
They have to entertain all night.
But man, it would be such a baller move.
Yeah.
What if it's not a rando?
What if it's someone I've secretly been dating?
Oh.
Oh, so this is the big one deal.
Oh, this would be awesome.
It's a drum roll.
What else do you do in the drum roll?
What in the world have you been hiding her?
Exactly.
So now...
She's on the phone?
Okay, here we go.
She's on the phone?
Well, I'm going to let you talk to them.
Okay.
Put him on.
I am taking...
What?
What?
Nothing.
Put him on.
I'm taking the CMT Awards tomorrow night.
Mike D.
I knew it.
Of course.
Mike D.
Did you pick your suit out?
Mike D. Mike D.
Mike D. A.k.a. Quiet Mike, aka.
Punk rock, Mike, A.k.a. Ma'amma, Ma'am.
Mike. Shirona.
Go ahead.
Why would you take him?
Because why not?
Who cares?
Who's good looking?
Yeah.
I do not understand your thought.
He's just arm candy, dude.
I just want people to see me at Mike D and be like, man, that guy's got something.
That's all he is.
Don't be jealous, lunchbox.
No, there's going to be.
Rumors at start.
Mike D and I go everywhere together.
If there are rumors, they already are.
Mike D, how do you feel about this?
I'm excited.
See?
Oh, my goodness.
What time does he pick you up, Mike D?
I mean him.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I'm going to some place and they're doing my hair and stuff.
Oh.
And then we leave from there.
Yeah.
Like up here near work.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So there you go.
Doing my hair.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Dude, that's crazy.
Yeah.
So anyway, Mike D is my date to the CMT.
crazy. The hair part or the Mike D. Part? All of it.
Why is that crazy?
I don't feel like the Mike D part's crazy or the hair part.
Well, you would thought a big event like this, he could have gone upgraded.
But he's working.
I understand that. I would take it. No, no, no, everybody's wrong.
I would take a girl if I had a one. Even if I had been on two dates with somebody, I would take them.
I don't believe that. I would. You can believe what you want, Missy.
Why?
And I'm shocked. I can't believe you didn't take Amy over Mike D. Like usually you would take Amy.
just to have a female presence?
Amy and my relationship about going to events has changed since she's had two kids.
Right.
She doesn't have the ability to just free for him anymore.
And she's a mom now.
Yeah.
So I didn't even ask Amy because it's like, hey, you have this real life.
And Mike D, like, what's he got going on?
No.
Or?
What up, Mike, what you're trying to say?
He didn't have anything to say.
Quiet Mike.
Exactly.
Try it calling Quiet Mike.
He got nothing to say.
Okay.
Anything else before.
You know who else I thought was on the bar?
board? Oh, who? That new intern.
Jordan? The 21-year-old.
He thought I was going to take our intern as a date.
He wouldn't do that.
What led you to think that?
I just kind of thought maybe, hey, look, you're an intern. This is your one summer.
Maybe you can enjoy the CMT awards and see what it's all about. Like a true internship.
Ooh, internship.
But see, your point earlier, though, was that taking a girl to this is a...
Hey.
What?
It doesn't work.
You think I'm trying to get with the intern?
No, you could have if you took her to see a T-A awards and you want to go on the college circuit like these other guys?
Hey, that's...
Like these other guys.
I ain't trying to go on a college circuit.
Who are these other guys?
I don't know.
Do you know these guys?
Yeah.
Amy, do you remember Eric?
Eric got the tattoo of me on his arm?
Yeah.
I mean, it is a lifelike tattoo.
It covers the whole inside of his forearm.
arm. It's my head. It's crazy. Eric's tattooed guys on the phone. Eric. My man, my man.
My man, my man. That's what I'm talking about. Hey, how's life been since you got a tattooing me on your
arm? It has been quite interesting. Tell me more, my friend. Tell me more. Well, I've certainly
had some looks and questions. In all seriousness, anybody that's in my life, my personal life,
everybody knows about you, even though you're not on here.
So people weren't too surprised, but some people were.
Where do you live, Eric?
I live in northeast Tennessee now in Johnson City.
It's about five hours away.
Yeah, Bristol Johnson City.
No, well, the Tri-Cities even.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
So you go, you get a tattoo.
What do you tell the tattoo guy?
Did you walk in?
You have to have a picture of me, right?
And you say, draw this.
Well, originally, I had one particular guy in mine that's really good work.
And he wasn't going to be available due to family emergencies.
So I had to act quickly because I was growing to be impatient.
Yeah.
So I started calling around to some places, Checkford-Bee.
I found a guy.
I told him the story.
And he's like, dude, come in.
So I went in
And he was really moved by it
He wanted to check you out too
So
He probably can get a tattoo of me too
Stop it
No
He wasn't moved by it
He just wanted the money
Eric
So
Let's see
You live in Johnson City
You have a tattoo of me
On the inside of your arm
The last time we talked
I really didn't open this up
For the other members of the show
To ask their questions
Because I feel like everyone
Has something they want to ask you Eric
Amy did anything you want to ask Eric
Well I mean
has it helped with the ladies since you got it?
Great question.
Like I said before,
it's not really a big concern right now.
I've got a lot on my plate,
and I know Bobby says that
if you really want to make a relationship
where a guy will find a way,
if he says there's a lot on this plate,
probably not its priority.
That's right.
If someone says,
I'm not looking for a relationship right now,
that means I'm not looking for a relationship right now
with you.
Oh, okay, so the right one hasn't come along.
Yeah, not for Eric.
Correct.
for you to make time for.
Eric, how old are you?
I'm 30.
Look at this guy here.
Living his best life right now.
No.
Okay.
Do you think that you will add anything else to your body, Bobby related?
Tattoo-wise.
You know what I was thinking last night?
You know how Tupac had thought by across this upper stomach?
Oh, my gosh.
Let him talk.
Guys, let my boy talk.
Sorry.
Hold on.
He did.
Hold on.
He made a Tupac reference.
Bug life across his stomach.
Of course, Eric's tattoo guy.
Go ahead, Eric.
Do not be creeped out.
I'm not going to do this.
What's a thought crossed my mind, I could get bones on ice, but...
Bones life.
I love it.
Get bones on it.
In old English?
I don't care.
Are you serious?
In old English?
Are you serious?
What's a really girly font you could get it in?
Who cares?
Get it in all the fonts.
Hey, hey.
What's his name?
Eric.
Eric.
The tattoo guy.
Sorry.
Eric.
Did you think maybe getting this tattoo would help you get in Bobby's book?
Well, you got it too late.
You do realize that, right?
You're not going to get in the book.
Bobby doesn't owe me anything.
I don't want anything from Bobby to be in his book or anything else.
This is solely from one human to another saying,
I appreciate you for all you've done.
I know I'm not the only human.
I'm not the only one he's affected.
But he's affecting me in such a way that I want to advertise it.
Give the guy.
Thank you.
Question.
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead.
Eric, are you disappointed that you were not the date to the CMT Awards, but Mike D got that date?
That'd have been a good move for me.
Well, I'm not disappointed, no.
I wasn't expecting it, and no.
Would you have said yes?
If Bobby would have asked me, I would have said yes, yes.
But I wasn't looking for it, wasn't expecting it.
They didn't even cross my mind.
There he is.
But Bones life.
Eric, the tattoo guy.
Does he have any, do you have any regret?
He has to have some.
No, he doesn't.
He doesn't have, I guarantee you he doesn't have any regret.
Eric, I'm being told you did a podcast about this on someone's podcast.
I did.
Dylan, Hodge, he met you and, or he knows you, rather, and shout out to him.
I did that yesterday, and we talked about an hour and a half.
Bobby, who's Dylan Hodge?
You know, the guy I know.
I don't know.
Eric, who's Dylan Hodge?
I don't know.
Who's Dylan Hodge?
Well, he's a fellow B-teamer.
He's got a few pictures with you.
Oh, D. Hodge.
Oh, you called D-Hodge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, I thought, yeah, it was like a, you know,
someone in the industry.
But it's just someone with a podcast.
That's a B-teamer.
Shout out Dylan.
Hey, Eric, the tattoo guy.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a mortician, that's right.
Oh, that's right.
That's right.
It was a very dark time.
By trade, but what do you do all day?
Well, that was my career, and I'd gotten sick a couple years ago.
I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder, and it messes with my life from time to time called
this neuropathy.
Long story short, I've ended up a nursing home six times for physical therapy.
Look at you.
Keep on fighting that, man.
I am.
I was told, I was told by the neurologist.
I would probably never walk again.
They said there's no use in trying, but I've proved them wrong six times already.
Come on, that's not talking about.
That's awesome.
So now my dream is to get involved with broadcasting, and I'm ready to move back to Nashville,
and I'll be working with people on overbroad.
Look at this guy.
I love it.
I love it right now.
Hey, you need a mentor.
That's he does, and I am America's mentor, if I do say so myself.
Eric, the tattoo guy.
It is a real pleasure talking to you again.
Oh, man.
Glad to get caught up on life, buddy.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
We'll talk to you soon.
Yes, sir.
All right.
There he is.
Eric's the tattooed guy.
He's got a tattooing my face on his arm.
And he's going to get Bones Life on his stomach.
What in the world?
Like thug life, but the opposite.
Yeah, like...
It's not the opposite, Amy.
It's very similar to...
No, it's similar.
No, no, no, no.
It's the opposite.
It's right.
It's basically the same thing.
Yeah.
The Bobby Bones Show.
Turn it up.
All right.
So, here we are.
Tuesday and
there's a lot of things
happening this week
because it's CMA week
in Nashville
where all the artists
are in town
they're playing shows
every night,
a lot of charity events
and I had
the million dollar show
in January
and asked Darius
to come play
with our band
The Raging Idiots
and he shows up
and plays
and so he says
hey I'm doing a show
both for St. Jude
would you show up
and play?
And I said,
absolutely.
So they said
you can do three songs
and I said
how about two?
I don't want to sing
three songs.
Not because I
don't want to sing three songs
but because
I didn't think
the crowd, a Darius crowd is going to want me out there
doing 10 minutes of music.
So I said, how about it to?
He said, okay. So I go out
and the rule was you do one by yourself
at the Rhyman, and then Darius
comes out and does a cover with you.
And so I go up and I do Chick-fil-A
but it's Sunday. It's very dramatic.
Let me tell you, I crushed
it too. It was amazing.
I was kind of singing.
It was like middle. It wasn't totally my
crowd, but that song's about wanting
chick-fil-A, but it's Sunday. And I started
off very emotionally. I was like, I just
want you guys know that sometimes I cried during this song.
It's about not getting what you want in life.
It's called Chick-fil-A on Sunday.
And the ones that never heard, like, ah!
And so, it was good
because I had no pressure on me.
I never have fun.
There was no pressure on me whatsoever.
I went out, sang my brains out,
C-plus, and I was like, that was good.
Then I told Darius that I wanted to do
fight for your right from the Beastie Boys.
And that's a fun old school song, you know?
You gotta fight!
A lot of energy.
And I was in my tight jeans, which people on Instagram are saying,
or maybe Amy's jeans.
That's how tight they were.
And so here we go.
This is me and Darius's band is playing backup.
And Darius comes out later on.
This is a raw audio.
Someone on a cell phone put this on Facebook.
Listen to the crowd.
Get into it on the chorus.
Awesome.
It's pretty legit.
I was smiling so hard.
because the band was awesome.
The crowd was feeling it.
I was the worst in the whole...
And even I was doing pretty good.
But he was like working the stage.
Hard.
Almost like a...
Yeah, like an entertainer.
Yeah.
Just like squatty.
Like an artist.
Like an artist.
Like running around.
Darius Rucker comes out and does the third verse, right?
I had so much fun last night.
I had the biggest smile on my face.
I was taking it in, man.
You guys brought down the rhyming.
People were like, what's happening?
They just bought it.
They were like, everybody just started singing.
It was one of my favorite moments of forever.
Wow.
I'm telling you, I judge me harsher than anybody judges me.
And other than one goofy thing I did on stage, it was really fun and really good.
So I had a really great time last night, and I appreciate Darius for holding the event for St. Jude.
And secondly, for letting me come sing songs.
And it had to follow Lauren Elena.
And there's somebody you don't want to follow.
It's Lauren Elena, because she sings better than the world.
Yeah.
And so she crushes her songs.
And he's like, and now he's by bones.
They're like, one guy in overalls, yeah.
I know him.
So, and then we're backstage.
Did me hold the backstreet boy talk for a second or not?
Whatever.
We're backstage in a back room, and it's Amy and I.
And AJ McClain of the Backstreet Boys is back there.
And so I see him, and I'm just chilling.
Talking, totally talking, having conversation.
He came up to me and started talking.
Yeah, he came up.
He was really nice.
He definitely, I was cast.
On the couch on my phone being like, there's a backstreet boy walking around.
And then the room's tiny.
And then I see him just go up to Bobby and be like, hey man, I'm AJ.
Someone probably told him to, right?
Well, but then afterwards he kind of went around.
I mean, I think he was just being not.
I mean, did he have someone in there with him?
He's putting out a country song.
I know.
He was a nice guy.
He was so nice.
And then he came around, sat down on the camera.
couch and introduced himself to a couple other people in the room, and then me, and I was like, hi. Oh, hey, yeah, yeah, maybe. And then Bobby, you were sitting over there and you were like, oh, you're a backstreet boy.
I was totally lying. I knew who he wasn't meeting. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. From the minute I walked in, I was like, oh, my gosh, the back street boy. And I just played it cool, man.
It's a good move. I mean, I look over Bobby and I go, what? Like I said it really loud. I didn't mean to say it out loud. But I meant, are you serious right now?
I was totally a geek, but I didn't let him know, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He totally didn't.
let him know. So then Bobby's like, oh man, so, so like, where do you live? And then AJ's like,
I live in, you know where Thousand Oaks is? And Bobby's like, oh, yeah, yeah. I have no idea,
by the way. No idea where that is in L.A. I don't know anything about L.A. except where
they make me go for to tape stuff. Oh, but Bobby played it so cool. Yeah, yeah, I got that.
It's so cool. Cool. But Disneyland that's totally cool. And then Bobby casually slides over and he's
like, hey man, I want to hop on my Insta story? No, no. That's not what I said. Because I was playing
extra cool.
Nope.
Okay, how did you say?
I say,
you want to get on the story?
Okay.
Sorry.
I'm telling you.
I was playing so cool.
Like way over my head.
I was feeling confident.
It's a good night.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
AJ complimented your shoes.
He was like,
those are some nice shoes.
I live in my best life, as they would say.
And I was like, oh, you're back to your boy.
That's cool.
That's cool.
Yeah, cool.
You want to get my story real quick?
And then I realized in my heart,
like in my heart of us doing somersaults, right?
Yeah.
I was like, oh my God, it's a battery boy.
And so, I was like, hey, man, you're giving a story.
Let's be cool.
And then all of a sudden I busted it out.
Got me buzzing.
Oh, wait, wrong one.
Here we go.
I never want to hear you say.
I want it that way.
I do want it that way.
I do.
Because I want it that way.
Which way?
And so I lost all cool there, but then I was over.
The night was over.
It didn't matter anymore.
Thanks for being in my story, man.
Yeah, I played it so cool.
I just wanted that on my Instagram.
You played it so cool that then by the time you asked him to hop on your story, it was fine because Bobby was already so cool that it's not like he was geeking out at all.
Even though he busted out that song.
You're going to get into story.
And he had just found out that he was part of the story.
I was like, wait.
Because if Bobby started geeking out too soon or at all, then AJ probably wouldn't have been as cool to be like, hey, y'all, I'm going to sing my song with you on your story.
If I had the got any game with ladies that I do AJ McClan.
to the backstreet boys?
I'd be swimming in them.
That is so true.
That is so true.
You had AJ wrapped on your finger.
It's a good night.
It's a good night.
Who talked to Brett Young yesterday?
I did.
How'd that go?
I think it went great.
I found out some hard-hitting news
about his upcoming wedding and a really nice guy.
Yeah.
In the beginning, did you have covers
that you used to serenade her with that
like take you way back?
Like, what were the jams that you were like,
here sit right here, girl, let me, let me.
She was, you know, like, guys get ready.
and then wait for girls to finish getting ready.
Absolutely.
And so I got ready and I was done.
And then she was getting ready to go out that night
and I pulled out the guitar and I just acted like I was just enjoying playing by myself,
but I was singing full voice.
And it was She's Every Woman, Garth Brooks.
Okay.
So we just heard it.
He's going to be singing She's Every Woman by Garth Brooks.
Wait, so what was so funny?
Because he was saying that he was trying to act cool like he was just playing,
but she was upstairs and he was playing full voice.
Oh, no, no, I get what he's saying.
Man, you're like hard at that, huh?
I thought it was pretty funny how he was trying to act,
cool, but he was really singing it.
Hold on.
I just acted like I was just enjoying playing by myself,
but I was singing full voice.
I think it's funny.
Yeah, yeah.
I just realized that was lunchbox going.
Lunchbox thought it was really funny.
So,
all right.
You like what you think it's funny when people sing full voice?
Well, I think you have to kind of laugh when they talk
because it makes them feel more comfortable,
even though sometimes it's not.
That's an honest answer.
That's a magic.
If you listen to interviews, people laugh when artists talk for no reason.
And so I feel like it makes them more comfortable.
And they're like, oh, yeah, this guy likes me.
So that's how you get on their good side.
Totally down with that tactic.
Just wondered why he laughed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
Is Brett playing on the CMT Awards?
He is, right?
No, he's up for video of the year.
He's up for a year.
Yeah, video of the year.
See, I know my stuff.
Good dude.
Is that full voice?
He's not an artist, I don't need to laugh.
I don't only laugh when it's funny.
It's okay.
You don't have to laugh.
Sympathy laugh.
That's cool, man.
I like that you do that.
It's a good tactic.
It works.
I'm going to try that.
I'm going to try that today.
Hey, dude, are you doing them today?
I am.
Please, one time, Amy.
Okay, I'm practicing.
Laugh just for no reason.
Like, really make them feel good.
Okay.
Because I'll give you a lot of stuff.
Like lunch, like that's a tactic, for sure.
It is a tactic.
You do it to everybody.
It gets awkward.
Absolutely.
Let's go over to Morgan number two.
What your 24 years old?
She's 24 years old. She runs our digital.
And what do you care about today, Morgan number two?
Legally blonde 3 is actually in the works.
It's happening.
And I'm stoked about it.
What's the deal with that?
Wait, did she not die at the end of the second one?
What?
No.
No, she went to law school.
El Woods?
Stop it.
How did it end on the second one?
Well, the second one?
She had a baby or something?
I don't know.
Yeah, she was...
Number one is the one that's amazing.
Number two is okay.
And I'm just kind of...
I'm with her.
I'm excited about three, but it's probably not going to be that great.
Dang, Hater.
Hey, Eric, is three of anything ever?
Like, Home Alone, one was amazing.
Home on two.
No, Rocky three wasn't that good.
Really? Mr. Tina?
It was...
Yeah, that was awesome.
Rocky four was great.
Oh, the Russian.
Yes, right.
Rocky three was okay.
Okay.
Were there any three?
Hangover, three.
T3 was pretty good.
Oh, Terminator 3, yeah.
Yeah, T2 was always been pretty good.
Judgment Day.
American Pie?
They had three.
Has Iron Man 3 happened?
Because even if it hasn't, it's going to be amazing.
All right, thank you, Morgan.
Number 2.
That's what 24-year-olds care about.
Hey, OprahBoboboboboens.com.
Our retro Pimpin' Joy shirts.
Would love for you to check those out and help a good cause.
It's time for the good.
News. With Amy. Tell me something good.
Shout out to this six-year-old girl named Brindley Williams. She spent some of her
childhood in a hospital because she had kidney issues since birth, so she knows what it's like
to be in the hospital as a kid. So she decided she wanted to buy American girl dolls
to hand out to other kids in the hospital because she received one for herself, and she thought
the doll was super cool. But those American girl dolls, they're not cheap. So she set up a lemonade stand,
Then she worked at a restaurant owned by a family friend, raised about $500 or so.
And then the community heard about what she was doing.
And they all pitched in, and she was able to buy $15.
And the hospital is planning to have her hand deliver the dolls later in the month.
That's cool.
She's how old, six?
She's only six years old.
I mean, you know, she's going to be able to show up at the hospital, deliver them to the sick patients.
Sort of like, makes me think of, like, musicians on call and how you show up.
I don't know if you ever show up with dolls, but you show up for your guitar.
No dolls. You show up with your guitar and you play music and stuff. That is true. So I'm on,
I'm on the national board. I started just, we just go and play music for kids or vets.
And so that's what musicians on call is, because I was also in the hospital for a long time as a kid.
True. I have a scarf still from my sternum down to my, you know, whatever that bone is. The
puby bone, is that you call it? The technical term? Yes, puby bone. And so I was in the hospital
for a long time. And so I go and we play songs for kids and for vets. And it's a great organization.
and if you're listening, you're like, man, wish I had something to donate to or be involved in.
You don't have to play music.
You can actually be a guide for musicians on call and, like, take the musicians around.
But yeah, thanks for bringing that up.
It's really a fantastic organization.
I'm very proud to be a part of it.
And proud of that girl.
She's six.
Six years old.
That's good.
That's good news.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
I always wondered what would happen if you took a whole bunch of those yellow jacket pills from the gas station.
And Eddie did that yesterday.
And here we are 24 hours later.
He says he's still not over it.
Like his heart is still beating.
Morgan number two are 24-year-old head of digital.
Our web girl and resident 24-year-old from Wichita, Kansas Morgan number two.
She says that Eddie was cranky yesterday.
Yeah, he was super cranky and he was just acting like out of his mind in a different place.
Yeah, I don't know what, it was just major mood swings.
because I felt tired, but I wasn't tired.
You know what I mean?
Like, my body was ready to go, but my brain was just like, I'm tired.
I don't want to laugh at anything you're saying.
I don't even want to talk to you right now.
It's weird, man.
So your body was ready to go.
Yeah, we were ready to run a marathon.
But your brain was tired.
Yes.
And so I'm sorry.
I want to apologize to everyone.
If I said anything, maybe I would regret today.
It wasn't you.
It was the yellow jackets.
Yes, it was not me.
Did he snap?
He never snapped, but he just wasn't himself.
And he just was going on.
some mood swings. So I just really wasn't sure
what Eddie I'd get at each moment.
Yellow Jackets, man. That'll do that to you. So you're saying
probably not the best idea to use them? No, absolutely not.
Not four. Definitely not four.
This is your brain and then this is your brain
on Yellow jackets. Any questions?
Yeah.
Okay. Thank you, Morgan, number two. Eddie, thank you
for being honest. Yeah, man, you know. I think it's a struggle
we all face what we do on Yellow Jackets. Yes, yes, it is a struggle. And I hope that you
learned a lot from me taking four
yellow jackets. Yeah, you know, I'd always wonder how that would affect me.
but instead I thought you should do it.
So now you're going to steer clear.
Yeah, I'm good.
I learned a lot from a dummy.
Buckle up.
I'm doing all the sayings.
Just say no, dude, yellow jacket.
You can learn a lot from a dummy.
Buckle up.

Thanks.
You know what I want to do?
Man, that's funny.
Yeah.
That's been enjoying things lately.
Good.
You know what I mean?
Good.
You should do that a little more.
I know, I've been trying to sleep a little more.
I get some sleep. I feel better.
I think things are funnier. I'm brighter.
I'm better to hang around.
Rest. It does that.
It does. I'll get the water over.
You go ahead and get your...
Rest. That's about you good.
Morgan No. 2 brought up something interesting to me.
She said that her parents lied to her as a kid.
About what?
Well, this is what we're going to talk about. What did they tell you always and they weren't true?
I always sat right up next to the TV watching as a kid and they told me my eyesight would go bad if I kept doing that.
I think that that's true, though.
Right?
My parents told me that.
My parents told me that.
What's something that your parents told you that ended up not being true?
Okay, that's what we're going to talk about next.
Lies that your parents told you as you were a kid.
And you got older and you're like, that's not true.
Liz in Massachusetts.
Good morning.
Hi.
My mom used to tell me I was allergic to chocolate, but only after 6 p.m.
That's funny.
How long did you believe that?
Until I was like 10.
had to get a real allergy test, and I was not allergic to chocolate.
But did they test you after 6 p.m.?
That's the question.
That's funny.
That's a good one.
So when I was a kid, until I was eight or nine.
Oh, gosh.
Is this the belly button?
Yeah, I thought babies came out of the belly button.
I didn't know they come out of the hoo-ha.
Poor buddy.
And I always thought, how did they come out of the belly button?
Listen, it's also a thing that it comes out of the hoo-ha.
I'll be honest with you.
But I really was too old to think that.
But I was told that.
so forever
I just believed babies came out of the belly button
older than I should have been
and I was a pretty bright kid
I love to read
I just didn't
yeah you didn't catch that one
I didn't catch that one was over your head
yeah still kind of it
yeah
anybody's parents lie to them
lunchbox
yeah my parents look
if you flip your eyelids up like this
yeah my parents always told me
if someone hits you on the back
when you have your eyelids flipped up
they'll get stuck like that
and so I was near my parents
I was scared to do it
because I didn't want to get my eyelids stuck
Solid.
Justin and Oklahoma?
Hey guys, big fan of the show.
Thank you very much.
What'd your parents say to you?
My parents always told me not to shower during a thunderstorm because if lightning
hit, it would strike me through the shower.
And still to this day, I think of that when there's a thunderstorm and my wife's
going to go shower.
I'm like, no, no, don't do it.
That's funny.
Okay, but here's my thing when I'm thinking about this.
Like, what did the parents have to gain from that?
I understand the chocolate after 6 p.m.
You didn't want your kids to eat candy.
Did your mom not want you taking a shower or what?
Like during the rain?
Or was it just a joke?
I don't know.
Or maybe they really believe that.
I believe it.
I still believe it.
So I think somebody needs to do a study on this so I can prove my parents wrong or right.
Appreciate that, Justin.
Appreciate you.
Thank you very much for the call.
Man, I got a lot of them over here.
Appreciate you.
Joseph and Georgia.
Yeah, Bobby.
My parents used to tell me that if I ate any more chicken that I was going to turn into a chicken.
Like, I just love chicken nuggets, so they're like, you eat more chicken nuggets, you're going to turn into a chicken.
Did you feel like you would turn into a chicken?
Well, yeah.
I mean, like, as a little four-year-old, you're like, you're sitting there, you're like, well, heck, I'm going to turn into a chicken.
You're like, when did you realize you weren't going to turn into a chicken?
You know, I wised up a little, you know, shortly thereafter, but, you know, I guess that was their reasoning to get me to eat some vegetables or something.
You know, I don't know.
I just can't anyone eat any more chicken nuggets.
That's funny, Joseph.
Good call. Appreciate you.
Amy?
Oh, man.
My husband, one that comes to mind with his family,
is that his mom had told him a saltine cracker was a cookie for years.
Solid trick.
Yeah.
Solid.
Until one time he's her friend's house and they offered him a real cookie and he was like the best thing he'd ever taste.
He never fell for a salteen cracker again.
I got a little announcement to make here.
A little something.
Thank you very much.
Hey, so over the past five years,
I've tried to somewhat
change the culture
of music on the radio
meaning with females
I've held concerts
I've had entire weeks on the road
I've tried to take as many female artists out as possible
and give them exposure
and so I think the culture is changing
you know it's nothing
that's going to be revolutionized in a day
hopefully it's evolutionized
and I think we're getting there
I think we've planted a lot of wonderful seeds
and you're seeing more females
being played on the race
radio, but not enough. You're seeing more females being streamed a bit and put on playlists, but not enough.
And so what I did is myself and Rod Phillips, who is the president of the format, we have put together a show.
It's a national show. And it will be aired on hundreds radio stations. And it's going to be a show that focuses on females and country music.
And that's what it's all going to be. I'm going to program it. I'm going to play female artists only.
And I say me, it's not even really about me, because I go, how weird is that?
I got a ding-dong and I'm hosting a female show.
Contrere, Monterey.
I am pulling in some of the best female talent radio-wise around the country,
and they're also going to be involved in the show,
and they're going to be doing the things.
So as I'm in Nashville, where I get to actually see these artists and bring them in,
it's really going to be female artists, female DJs.
And so hopefully we can continue the conversation and push it forward.
So, you know, as I look at the charts right now,
I see people obviously carry Underwood.
There's only two females in the first.
top 20. Carrie Underwood
and Lindsay L.
There's only two females in the top
20. And those are the things that I
want to change.
They're a dude artist
that get the benefit of the doubt just because they're
dudes. And they go, let's just shove them up. It doesn't matter
what kind of research we get, it doesn't matter. They're dudes,
we just play them. Females don't get that.
So that's what we're going to do. We're going
to actually take the initiative to
make sure a song like
Cry Pretty, to make sure criminal by Lindsay
L. doesn't just drop in all
the stations go, eh, we're done.
Because they do.
They just cancel out on these females and go,
eh, it's not researching. We quit.
Marin Morris, Rich.
So, like, 30 or something.
Kelsey Ballerini, I hate love songs.
Artists like Cassie Ashton,
taxidermy.
So launching a national show on the weekends
to focus, highlight, grow, cultivate female artists
and songs.
And I'm going to start on monitor radio stations.
It'd be like, okay, you're pulling female artists?
Let me see, let me see what's up.
So that's it.
It's awesome.
Can't change it in a day, but we can actually work on changing the culture slowly.
Oh, that Cassidy Ashton song is a jam sandwich.
I know.
No, no, no.
It's a jam sandwich.
It's not, I mean...
You'll be my taxidermis, Texas dummy.
I keep you hanging on a film.
So if these other services and other radio stations don't want to get involved in this, we'll just take it and, you know, shove it and be like, okay, nobody else wants to get on board and help.
Then we'll just do it ourselves until everybody just.
joins. So if I've got to be
obnoxious about getting females on the radio, I
will be obnoxious about it.
And that's where I am now. I'm so frustrated.
So I'm just going to, here you go.
We have the biggest company
and we're going to go, okay, here I am.
Time to play all these songs. Stop ignoring
females. Love it. That's it. That's the
there you go. That's the announcement.
I will remain obnoxious. You have my word, folks.
But that's what it's about for me.
Maddie and Tay.
There are a lot of female.
and Elena. I could go down the list here.
Gillian Jacqueline. You know,
artists that, you know, you're not doing that
good. We need to get more room for
Bruce down here. Oh, Bruce.
Yeah. Always coming in
for no reason. For no reason.
I just got a ding-dong, you know what I mean?
Bruce. So, that's the deal.
This is the deal. Unofficial. They may
didn't want me to say this today, but we are launching a national
female. Oh, this is
an unofficial. Well, I mean, I'm not supposed to announce it,
but who cares? Yeah, who cares? That's what you say now.
I care about this project, but who cares about the rules?
So there you go.
That's it.
And with that, I drop yee mic.
I'm reading this obituary is in the paper.
Her name is Kathleen Dimlo.
And so she was born in 1938, and it just says a couple paragraphs about her life.
And then it gets to, she abandoned her children, Gina and Jay, when they raised, they were raised, whatever.
And then it goes on.
She passed away on May 31st, 2018, and will now face judgment.
She will not be missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand this world is a better place without her.
Oh, my.
That's so sad.
That is awesome.
Sad.
The best obituary ever written.
Oh.
Because it's truthful.
I mean, I don't know how truthful it is, though.
That's the thing.
I don't know her, so I don't know that it's truthful.
Well, they said that she abandoned them.
Yeah, but I was abandoned, and I don't think that it was for any reason other than my parents were teenagers when they had me.
I don't think that was evil.
So I just read it and was like, holy crap.
So yeah, I saw that.
I went healing for the kids.
What are their names?
I don't know.
Isn't that what the kids call savage?
It's like savage, man.
Hashtag savage.
Dang.
Front street.
See, I'm using Savage all wrong.
Savage O bit.
Fourth number two, is that a Savage Obit?
Yeah, that's Savage.
That's savage?
Wow.
Hey, on Friday, we will be doing our show live from the historic, the beautiful.
rhyme and auditorium. Our radio show will be up on that stage and all 2,000 of those seats will be
open to the public. The doors open at 6. The show starts at 7 Central. We hope people come watch.
Yes, the mother church of country music. The mother church, the home, the origin of the grand old
opera. Yes. And so we're super excited. We're very grateful they'll let us do our radio show
on that hallowed stage. That being said, lunchbox is said if he's not paid extra, he's not coming.
Oh my goodness. Because he feels that's a talent fee. Oh, for sure. There's no sponsor.
We're just going because they're letting us.
But you have now listed your demands.
Yeah.
So how many do you have?
I like five or six.
How many do you have?
Like five.
Five demands.
Take that one of the bad ones.
It's like a negotiation?
Demand number one for you to show up at the show on Friday.
I need two blueberry muffins freshly baked.
Let it down, man.
Okay.
Let's negotiate this.
Warmed or freshly baked?
It's all in negotiation.
Life is.
Thank you. You want me to keep going on?
I will get you two blueberry muffins, but they will not be freshly baked.
I don't want them wrapped in the plastic from the gas station.
I will get them from like a Dunkin' Donuts or a Starbucks.
That works.
Okay.
One down.

And then Mike's just like, yeah, I got him.
Well, his name is Mike D.

Good job on the first one, guys.
Two muffins.
We got that one.

Okay, go ahead.
Strawberry banana smoothie.
I'm going to have to push back on that one.
Why?
A smoothie?
I mean, why?
Yeah, that's a fresh little smoothie.

I mean, there's smoothie shops all over the place.
Oh, my gosh.
I'll make him one.
No, no, no.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Amy can make it at her house.
She makes smoothies all the time.
She got a nice little blender.
I'm not going to commit to that one yet.
Okay, that's number two.
Number three, lunchbox.
You're listed demands.
I need a car to pick me up at my house.
That will not happen.
That's not happening either.
There's no parking for me.
I mean, can you order your own Uber?
That wouldn't be me.
I didn't want to have to pay for it.
Okay.
If I came to work, I would have a free parking spot.
If I go there, I got to pay.
You got to be driven here first.
We're doing the show for two hours here.
Yeah.
But then I got to go there.
Yeah, okay, you will be driven there.
Yes.
In the middle.
I'm not going to buy your car for yourself.
Yeah, nuts.

But you will be driven over there.
You don't have to worry about driving yourself.
Me in the middle?

You want the seat empty?
Yeah, I want the seat left to empty.
Okay, in honor of your wife.
Yeah.
Okay.
If she comes, will she come on the show?
Yeah.
Okay.
I love it.
She'll go on the show?
Like, she'll talk.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know if she can make it.
Okay.
We will reserve.
Hey, nuts, you make sure they get that number of that seat up front.
All right.
And your final demand, because we met three of them so far.
Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
Your final demand.
One, you push back on.
Okay, go ahead.
$300 cash.

Under the table.
We're already talking about it.
This is now over the table.
He's like non-taxable cash.
Don't tell the IRS.
No, no, no, we're on the air.
But you can't tell them.
They think this is a bit.
Right, nuts?
I can't do 300 bucks.
How much can you do?
Will you take three bucks?
Oh, three dollars.
You're, whoa.
No deal.
Whoa, no deal.
Okay, okay, will you take all the money in my wallet?
Oh, what's, ooh.

My wallet's not even in here.
He almost has cash in his wallet.
Hey, nuts, don't be taking money out of that wallet before you come in here.
Mike B's nuts.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, look at an eye on the wallet.
I don't know what I have like.
Most of the time you do have cash.
He's taking too long.
He's taking money.
No, he'd have to find it.
Well, he needs to run quicker.
There is.
Okay, whoa, whoa.
Yes or no.
Yes or no, do you take all the cash in the wallet?
Yeah!
Yes.
Yeah.
I really don't know how much I have.
Yeah!
Okay, so that...
Wait, on!
Now he's getting paid!
If I'm going to give you all...
Because I wasn't going to give you any money.
Will you give up your strawberry smoothie to get money?
Oh!
Will you give up your strawberry smoothie?
For cash?
Yeah.
Because I wasn't going to pay you at all.
Get the smoothie out of here!
Okay, so you're going to have a chair.
You're going to have two blueberry muffins from one of the coffee places.
Sure.
Not wrapped.
What else are you going to have?
Someone's going to drive.
You're going to be driven there, and then you're going to get all the cash in my wallet.
Yeah.
All right, and that's a deal.
Shake on it.

Nothing.
Exactly.
So you're going to be there Friday.
You're going to be there Friday.

Exed off the strawberry banana smoothie.
Everybody won this negotiator.
Wait, not everybody.
Now Eddie and I are out.
Like, you gave into these demands.
And so now I'm like, wait a second.
I would like...
Hey, you don't think like a business person.
You think like a little follower.
You're like, ooh.
That's right.
Little follower right there.
I lead the pack.
Friday morning, come watch the show with the rhyme.
There you go.
You can find us on Facebook too.
At Bobby Bone's show.
What do you think of a story where it says
teaching your kids to curse is a good thing?
Oh, I don't know.
I would have to know why they think that.
I don't personally want my kids to curse.
But I don't.
I'm confused.
Why is it good?
According to science, swearing can offer health benefits.
They say teaching kids to swear is a good thing.
Many parents let a well-time swear word or two slip.
Oh.
Dr. Emma Byrne, a scientist, says that teaching students to swear can help them understand language better.
and honesty, a more robust vocabulary, better credibility.
I just don't know about that.
I don't think so either.
I don't get how that's.
I don't have kids, but I don't curse.
Yeah, I just for like me neither.
And I, I mean, I don't mind if people around me, but I don't want my kids doing it and manners.
Like, I don't want them to be walking around cursing.
Do they know English curse words?
No, they don't really say.
The only, the thing that we're trying to not say is shut up.
right now.
That's the bad one?
Well, I just don't want them to be saying that because I want them to be polite.
But me, I casually know that I'm someone that's like if my husband says something, I'm like,
oh, shut up.
And so that's where they get it from.
They get it from me, but then I don't want them saying it.
So I've got to work on that.
But I definitely don't want them.
I mean, they can say like shoot or gosh, dog it.
Can they say 80 double hockey sticks?
No.
But they don't.
They are not exposed to it.
Now, my parents cursed, so I cursed when I was a little, little kid, but I didn't know what I was saying.
But I was just repeating them.
So you disagree with this?
I totally disagree with it.
All right.
There you have two kids, two boys.
Oh, man, I'm laughing, thinking, like, picturing them saying bad words.
Like, that's terrible.
They would never say bad words.
Lunch about your kid cuss?
Yeah.
No problem.
No problem.
I cuss with my parents.
We have that relationship.
And I still remember the first time I heard my dad say a cuss word, and it was the greatest day of my life.
Oh, wow.
We're driving home from a soccer game, and one of the Cowboys,
offensive linemen, got two false starts in a row.
And my dad just goes, how blanking stupid is he?
And me and Aaron and Forrest looks at each other and we're like,
so awesome.
And ever since then, Cuss words have been flowing.
Yeah.
It really opens your relationship with your parents.
Maybe that was my problem.
I don't.
Yeah.
But Bobby, I don't, I don't, my dad, they flow out of my, like, my dad's conversation,
even when I'm talking to them, like, there are words dropped all the time.
and it doesn't, we don't bond over it.
I just am like, okay, that's my dad.
That's how we talks.
It's not Thanksgiving.
Hey, I'm very thankful for,
be, beep, beep.
So I don't curse.
I stopped about two and a half years ago.
I haven't said a curse word a long time.
It doesn't bother me,
but people now will not curse around me
and that gets a little annoying.
Yeah.
It's like, I don't like people to know
that I don't drink.
I've never had a drink alcohol,
but they're like, ooh, I shouldn't drink around you.
I'm like, no, I'd rather you just live your life.
Actually, you're more pleasant to be around
when you do drink.
So if you wouldn't mind having a drink or two,
Same thing with cursing.
They'll go, ooh.
Sorry, ooh.
It sounds weird, though, to be honest, to curse around you.
Really?
Yeah, it's like cursing from my parents.
Same thing with Bobby.
But Bobby's not.
But I used to curse like crazy.
No, but not anymore.
I don't anymore.
So it's like, I don't want to just...
That was just a discipline that I wanted to put inside of me.
I'm always looking for new ways to train myself to do things.
Nothing moral.
Just telling you, it feels weird for the rest of us.
Just sounds.
I know.
Isn't it what the sound means coming from your heart more so than the sound coming out of your mouth?
I don't know what that means.
I don't know what that means.
He lost me on my head.
Too smart.
That's deep.
Science says let your kids curse.
Well, one scientist.
But that's science.
A very smart scientist.

So, so much going on with y'all this week.
You know, hosting the ZMT Awards.
It's kind of fun.
New song coming out Wednesday.

Summer fever.
Oh, is that a tease?
No, not at all.
It actually is nothing like that.
Summer, summer fever.

Okay, okay.
That would be a good game.
Summer fever.
I got that.
Summer fever.
Fever down in my bones.
Oh, boy.
Well, they have a song tomorrow.
That's not how goes.
It isn't.
I don't think so.
At all, I don't think unless in some weird world, that's exactly how it goes.
Yeah, okay.
The Babo-Bow Show.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Lunchbox's wife is about to give birth and have a baby, so I didn't know if she was going to consider
having music playing when she's in the labor and delivery part.
But that's like a popular thing right now, and I have the most popular song to give birth to.
Babe, babe,
Justin Bieber, baby, baby.
No.
It's actually
Elton John, the Circle of Life.
Right, push.
Interesting.
Breathe.
You can do it.
And then they'll hold the baby up on the door.
Look at him.
Isn't he beautiful?
We call him Mufasa.
Yeah.
So, Lunchbox, you need to work on your wife's push playlist.
Got it.
Okay, okay?
So the Crayola, you know, the crown company, they're coming out with their own beauty line of makeup called face crowns.
Face crayons or how you say it?
Face crayons.
Are you Asian?
Crayons.
What parish are you from down in Louisiana?
Amy sounds like she does.
I say face crowns.
And they have eye shadow, highlighters, lipstick, and more.
You can find them on ASOS.com.
That's A-S-O-S-C-com.
And I don't know.
Just something fun.
Comes to a little crown box.
When you say in crayon funny
And lunchbox saying ambulance funny
Ambulance.
We got a whole crew here.
Is there something you can't say?
Yeah.
I say it all, perfect.
No, there's something you say.
No, all the things.
I talk too fast.
I stumble over my words.
I mean, I say, that doesn't matter.
Moving on.
Behind the scene stuff for people listening right now
is I talk too fast too, and so many times
Bobby has to like take his hand.
Slow it down.
And while I'm talking, he's like, calm down.
Chill out.
Too loud.
So I have to remember that.
So I have the things that are considered cool this year for 2018.
So if you're doing any of these, you're on the right track.
Staying in rather than going out, considered cool.
Cool as can be.
Been doing that for years.
That's cool for it's cool, man.
Like, don't feel shame in eating healthy or having a balanced diet that is cool this year.
Yeah, amen.
Going to the gym.
Boom, I'm the coolest person around.
And being able to cook from scratch.
Oh, that's...
Only, like, two things.
You make those paleo donuts?
Yeah, but, like, it's one of my two things.
Yeah.
Cool.
And, like, I can grill some chicken.
Also, last thing that makes you super cool for 2018
is vacationing off the beaten path.
How about in your house that you never leave?
It doesn't make you double cool.
That's what I do.
Is that it?
All right, I'm maybe that's my file.
There you go.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
I'm going to go over to CMT
and do some interviews for a bit.
I'll have some more.
on today. I'm going to do that today. I got a
award show. I'm not getting an award. I'm going
to support some friends tonight. Oh, that's cool.
Yeah. It's been cool because right now happening in Nashville is
CMA Fest. So there's lots of events. Like every day, it's like 100 events.
And I'm not doing music with Raging Idiots and my book
doesn't come out until the 19th, so I really have nothing to do.
So I'm able to support a lot of friends, which is cool. I'm doing
Lauren and Alanis fan club party on Friday. I'm hosting it just because she
asked me to. Do a thing with Luke Bryan. So for once, I'm not doing a hundred
No. None of us are, really.
Just a couple, huh?
Yeah.
So that is that. We're going to do our show live
from the Riemann, though, in Nashville.
That'd be cool.
Or just listen, it should be, as they say, an S show, man.
It's at the Riemann. It's going to be awesome because it's there,
but there are going to be tons of people watching the show.
I met some people last night.
They were at the Riemann last night talking about how they can't wait to come
watch the show from the Riemann on Friday.
So we'll see how that goes, too.
That's the deal.
Amy, today, what are you doing?
Well, I'll be doing CMT remotes, too.
and then hanging out with my kids.
Summertime.
Yeah?
Yeah.
When do they go back to summer school?
Next week.
Are you happy about that?
Well, they'll just be in while I'm working.
It's only like eight to noon or something.
So we'll still have the afternoon to play.
And what are they going to do in summer school?
Continue learning English?
Yeah, they'll continue on that.
I think it's just good to keep it going.
So they keep this program.
It's their English as a second language school.
So I think they like to keep the kids going so they don't lose it.
That's cool.
Yeah.
