Yeah, welcome. Welcome, welcome to Friday show. Morning. Morning. Yeah. Yeah. The ACMs were announced yesterday. I just want to go through one category real quick and address something.

Entertainer of the year, the category, the nominees are, Jason Aldeen, Garth Brooks, Luke Bryan, Chris Stapleton, and Keith Urban. And I don't think there's anyone

you would look at it and go they don't deserve to be there. And I don't know anyone on the radio that's a bigger champion of women in country music and the developing them. And so a lot of people were like, where are all the women?

And so that's really not a battle. And people wanted me to talk about it today. That's not a battle that I'm even interested in getting into because I'm not trying to change today. I'm trying to change two years from now. I'm trying to set the new culture of

let's give everybody with good songs a shot early. Let's develop new female artists because you probably could have put Miranda in that list but there's not anybody you would take out. And so does what I'm saying make sense, Amy, at all? Yeah, makes sense.

I definitely would have liked to have seen a female in there, but to stick one in just for the sake of sticking one in isn't even fair to females. I don't know anyone who wants to be put in a category just because there just aren't enough of them. I do think Miranda could have fit in that and you couldn't have argued it. But you also can't argue against any of these.

But my whole fight, because I was being asked by everyone, to comment on this today, was I'm not trying to change today. I'm trying to change tomorrow. And so that's the deal with all the new artists. is that let's develop these females early, you know, get these deals going, develop them with their first singles, and then they turn into stars. Because you look over with the female vocalist, and it's a very strong category this year, when in other years it hasn't been, when they've had to put people in it that haven't had any recent hits.

But you look at female vocalists this year, Kelsey, Miranda, Marin Morris, Carrie Underwood, and then Reba, who had a big Christian hit, but at least there are four people with songs. on the radio currently now I think reba deserves it too but you know we're not playing any new reba stuff right now but the female vocalist category it's getting stronger it is so again everybody wants me to talk about females and I'm a big fan of developing them I'm just not trying to change today and I'm not arguing with the ACMs at all because I don't think that if you know who votes on this too not a group of a few people like hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people yeah males and females So I'm done talking about that

But that's what I'm going to say And I'm not going to talk about it anymore But I have no problem with the entertainer They all deserve to be on the list I could have seen Miranda on there But what I'm seeing though Is a lot more females on the 40s, 30s part of the chart Which is great for the future of country music

That's where the future is So I'm done Anybody have anything to say about that? And seen Thank you. By the way, did you see Chris Jansen tweet at Dan of Dan and Che? Okay, I don't know exactly what was going down, so I need you to break it, break it down for me. It said, Amy, I don't either, but these are two buddies of mine.

It said, Word gets around. If you got any beep to talk, talk it to my face. Word travels fast. Whoa. And he put the tweet up and then he pulled it down. I didn't even text out of the one of them. I was like, oh, ho ho ho. It's like watching Mommy and Daddy fight a little bit.

So who said who to what? Yeah. Or who said what to who? Eddie, I don't know. I just saw the tweet from Jansen to Dan from Dan and Jay. I mean, I don't picture Dan saying anything about Chris or vice versa. I don't know. I just don't know.

I just wanted to be known that I saw the tweet. I see Dan at the gym sometimes. I'll ask him. I definitely want to fight him. Maybe I'll ask him. Yeah. Well, that's it. We're good.

Recognizing people, doing cool things. It's ICU. Ranchers north of Tulsa spotted a ball. bald eagle covered with ice after an ice storm. And the eagle was struggling to fly because he was covered in ice. Oh, he couldn't move. So the Game Warden named Spencer Grace, he got to call, he went, found the bird, he caught the bird, he put him in his truck, warmed up the bird.

After 45 minutes, the game warden released the Bald Eagle flew away. Wow. But he found him, he just put him under the old heater. That's crazy. He had to defrost in the truck, and the eagle warmed up. I better have videoed that. Yeah, you got his Insta story out. I mean, I've seen, have you ever seen a Bald Eagle?

Maybe not up close, unless it's been at somewhere where they were holding one to look at. I've never seen one just in the wild. Yeah. Oh, that's true. Yeah. I've seen one just in Colorado in the wild. Yeah? A lot of I was in a kayak with my husband.

Oh, yeah? Yep. I think I've seen one at Auburn games when they go, War Eagle. And it flies down with the guy's hand, yeah. I see you. The Bobby Bones show. Big Three Stories. It's producer Raymond in weather news in the northeast, a nor-easter.

Heavy rain, wind, and snow, so watch out this weekend. In California, officials are racing to evacuate residents. There could be mudslides from all the rain, so definitely pay attention to the evacuation orders. And finally, tickets go on sale today at noon central time to the IHeart Country Fest, presented by AT&T. Just go to Texas box office. The festival is in May. The Bobby Bones show, Bobby Bones.

So I'm real particular about cleaning and cleaning myself, and I got into the Q-tips, and I started sticking it in my ear. And then obviously I stick it in my ear canal, which I know I shouldn't. But how else does your ear canal get cleaned on the box of the Q-tip? It says, don't stick it in your earhole. But why do they design it to go right into your earhole? It says that. Oh, yeah. I've always put the Q-tip in my ear.

No, no, you're not supposed to, but they're designed to. See, like the other day I was giving my kids a bath and I was like, when's the last time you cleaned your ears? And my son was like, never? Like, I don't clean my ears. And I was like, what? And I got after him. I started like putting them on the Q-tip in.

My wife's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't do that. Like, last time we were at the doctor, the doctor said, I've sent my kids to college because of Q-Tips because parents always put cut tips in their kids' ears and ruin them. Wow, they rupture their eardrum? Yeah, I had no idea. I was about to stick the cutip in my kid's ears because they said they'd never clean their ears. Amy? I definitely heard that before.

I think even my husband's nephew had that issue. What? Yeah, but I have to admit I cleaned my kids' ears out the other day. See? But I love the feeling of it. Yeah, the deeper the better, too. No, I don't go too deep. I do.

Because I am aware that this is an issue. But if you just approach it delicately, I think you're okay. Lunchbox, what do you do? There's water in the shower that gets in there, the soap from the, like when you wash your hair. Yeah. The shampoo runs in there. And then when you're dry and you just kind of dig the towel in there. Yeah.

By the way, can I say that someone on the show saw Lunchbox in the bathroom, use the bathroom and walk out without washing his hands. Oh, he does it all the time. I mean, who hadn't seen me do that? Oh, okay, never mind. So that's not a story? No, that's not a story. I mean, you print T-shirts because I don't wash my hands.

It's good. Oh, well, I guess we can wrap it up on that. I just kind of thought that was disgusting. And it's the flu season. Oh. So that alone should be washing your hands. Guys, my stuff doesn't have the flu. I don't know.

Okay. Okay. That's not word around the street. This is a bodybon show. Bobby bones. Time for your positivity. Around the room. Everybody here?

Amy here. Here. Lunchbox? Check. Bobby here. That's me. Tell me something good. Let's go.

Amy, go ahead. So in elementary school in Texas, they picked happiness as this year's campus. So a group of parents decided to bring some cheer straight to the students and their bathrooms and they painted messages of. joy and kindness all over the bathroom stalls. Oh, that's cool. I'm sure they had permission from the school to do so. But, I mean, yeah, when you go in the bathroom, just being able to see some encouragement.

Anywhere. Pretty awesome. You go anywhere and see positivity. It does create positivity. I agree. Lunchbox, you are up. There's this couple in Greece, New York. They've lived in the same house for 50 years.

Well, they're getting kind of old. Can't really do the yard work. And for the first time ever, they got a letter from the homeowners association saying, fine, your yard is not up to date. Oh, no. So the local cross-country team from the high school down the, road came down, snipped up little trees,

break the leaves, cleaned up the snow, boom. Yard looks good now, no more fines for them. Cross country people, if you're on the cross-country team, you have a good heart and you're a good human. He ran cross-country?

Yes, that's why I say that. Did I bet your school think you were the man? Because you're like big athlete. Absolutely. That was the big athlete at your school. Cross-country. That was the one that got the most respect. We got the biggest locker, best parking spot,

everything. Not the quarterback. Nope. They didn't care. No, quarterback. We didn't win a game. We went 0-12. So cross-country...

Really? Yeah, we were... So with cross-country, though, which position was the most touted? Like, what race? The two-mile? No, no, cross-country is one race. It's 5K. Oh, it is?

Yeah, 3.1 miles. Track is the one where it's different. Two-mile, one mile, 100-yard dash. And all the ladies, they'd be like, I want cross-country more than the basketball player. Yep, they say, look at those shorts, I want... The cheerleaders would come out to the meets? Absolutely. Yeah, cheerleaders are you cross-country meets?

Are you lying? Yep. Okay. When 8-year-old Evelyn Green of Rochester, New York was planning a birthday party. She said to the guest, you don't want any gifts. Instead, she asked everyone, remember, she's eight to donate money to reach home a local homeless shelter. They raised a thousand bucks because his eight-year-old said, I don't want any money. Wow. So, there it is. I don't know. These kids. One, that's some great parenting. To make, to raise a kid

that wants that. Two, I want, eight, I don't want toys. Listen, I want toys right now. What am my kidding? Like, I'll take toys. That's awesome. Get your bones on Bobby Bones Show. This guy in New Jersey, he wakes up in the of an Uber that took him 300 miles because he'd been drinking all day and he doesn't remember ordering it. Oh no. The bill was $1,600. Because again, he gets in, he'd been drinking and all of a sudden he falls asleep and wakes up. And they're 300 miles down the road.

Now we owe $1,600. What do you do if you're him? Man, you say Uber driver, hello. But do you? I mean, it's your fault. What if you really typed it? Yes, it's right. I know, it's your fault.

But I feel like as an Uber driver, you'd be. Like, dude, are you sure? This is what you want to do. But you have to ask that way after the fact and way after he had already driven there. Wow. So he's disputing the charge, although he did give him five stars. That's all that this morning. I'm in Vegas this morning and I was reading the story that happened here in Vegas.

And so there was a story where the Metro Police that were looking for a man who stole cigarettes from a store and then fought with the clerk. Can you imagine? you're just at work in the gas station and some guys stole cigarettes and then starts to punch you in the face I'm just thinking if I'm going to rob somebody I'm going to steal more than just cigarettes right

well I mean I guess it just depends that's clearly what he wanted I know but grab some funions or something if you're going to get physical Cheetos I guess to access it sometimes the cigarettes are kept behind I don't know if state by state is different but he maybe had to punch him in the face

to get to the cigarettes to them. Yeah, I walked into it because, again, I'm in Vegas and I walk into the studio and that was a big story that was up. The suspect, I guess during the fight, sprayed the Clark in the face with an aerosol can. Oh. And they started punching them and then stole cigarettes. Yeah, I think you're right about that, Ann. Yeah. You know, and that nicotine, it'll make you do crazy things, I guess. My grandma one time got so mad. I remember I got grounded for hiding her cigarettes once because as a granddaughter, I wanted my grandma to quit smoking so bad. And I hid them and the rage I saw in her was, I mean, when she was ready for a cigarette and that was

her only pack, like, it was no joke. I was like, here they are. Does she spray you in the face with an aerosol can and punch you? No, my grandma was really sweet. That's what I'm just saying. It turned her into a personality that wasn't really her, you know? They put the ACM nominations out yesterday in the vocal duo of the year category. I want to read you, Brothers Osborne, who will probably win. Dan and Shea, Florida Georgia Line, I was happy to see LoCash make the nominations, and also in the vocal duo of the year, Tim and Faith.

How do you feel about that, Amy? I mean, they have that song together, but are they technically... They have a whole record together. Oh, the record. So that officially makes them a duo. I guess so. Yeah, because I mean, I don't know what they could, did they consider themselves a duo? Because I would, I would, my thoughts on it are like, did they feel right being in that category?

I know. Because one group definitely got left out, and I feel like Tim and Faith took their spot. And I feel bad for the group that got left out. Yeah. So it's like any two people that put out a record together, they automatically a duo? I don't know. I mean, I love Tim and Faith. This is just a question.

Well, my feelings were really hurt for the group that got left out. And so do you want to ask me who that group is if I'm trying to lead you to? Well, I didn't know if you wanted to say. Tell us who you feel bad about. The raging idiots. Oh, I was wondering what you were trying to say. I know. I was like, maybe he doesn't want to say or like, would he want to ask.

That's us. Eddie and I have a group. Oh, stop. Listen, Amy, you can laugh all you want. We had a number one comedy song, and it would have been a top 30 country song. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. And we'd probably be nominated once for Tim and Faith. Yep, that's all I'm saying.

Tim and Faith took our nomination! Okay, you're probably right. Nah, they're good, though. Nominations for Song of the Year, because yesterday they announced the ACMs. Song of the Year, your options are. Body Like a Backroad from Sam Hunt. Okay. Ten Man from Miranda.

Okay. Female from Keith Urban. Sister, show her daughter, love her, heel, broken hell of mother. Ten Man from Miranda Lambert. Finally, Whiskey and You from Chris Ableton. One keeps driving me insane at times I wonder If they ain't both the same

One's a liar That helps hide me from my pain And one's a long gone dead of truth That's the difference Between whiskey and you So those are your four options Amy, pick your winner, go ahead Oh man,

Chris Stapleton. Yeah, I think Body Like a Backroad needs to win. That's the biggest song in our format's history, and it's won nothing. If... But you think... I know it's won nothing. So do you think that this is the time it's going to win? I do, yeah.

So people are going to show it. Respect. They have to. They have so disrespected Sam Hunt because he's different. There's a massive disrespect. Body Like a Backroad has to win one of the big awards. It's the biggest song ever digitally. Billboard chart. The whole thing.

And listen, I love the Chris Daibleton song. It wasn't a single. I mean, my buddy wrote that song with Chris Ableton. Him. So, but I still think it's body like a back road. Ten man's good. Mm-hmm. That's it.

I don't think female wins, but it's a strong, powerful song. It's so good. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Minnesota. A nanny has been fired after she was busted on the nanny cam, drinking the breast milk.

Oh. What? Oh, whoa. Why? Wait, first of all, gross. It's not even yours and you're an adult. But secondly, why? Why?

Yeah. Are you thirsty? The mother? And why fire her? Also, like, is that what a fireball offense? Go ahead. Because the mom would, you know, pump and dump. I understand what.

And there would be none left at the end of the day. There were supposed to be extra bottles. That's fireable. That's eating the baby's food. Okay, but what if the baby's full? No, but it's a lot to pump that. out and get it into the bottles and in the fridge to feed the baby later and she's eating it.

But why is she drinking it? Is she hungry? She doesn't say why she... It's her thing. It's her thing. I don't know about this one. Like that's a... Maybe she's just hungry. Well, that would be sad. But then you need the other food in the fridge.

Yeah, there's other food in the fridge. Yeah. That's a weird one. That's the weirdest one of all time, I think. And breast milk, I don't know. Does it taste good? Is it sweet? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I've never had it. Well, we've all had it. If one of us naturally goes, oh, let me tell you, it's amazing.

Like, I subscribe. That's a good choice. She's throwing it out there. Then we would know who dabbles. It's like Latote, where it comes every month. You're different breast milk from someone. Yeah, you know? Different countries stays different.

I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Bobby Bones. If you're new to the show, Amy, my co-host, who here, has two kids. She adopted them from Haiti. One's 10, one's seven. her daughter's the older, she's 10. And your daughter's been talking in her sleep, right?

Yes. In English. Oh, wow. Wow, that's cool. Yeah. I feel like it just means the English is really starting to come out and school is helping them really. I know that she knew English when she got here. I knew she was holding back.

But now I can see she's getting more comfortable with it even in her sleep. Wow. So how's your son doing? Because he wasn't as advanced as she was. she was in English. Right. Totally not. But he's doing better.

Communication with him has gotten a lot easier. He's not speaking it as much, but he understands me more. And then he can look at me and say, Mom, I don't know what that means or I don't know what you're saying. And then I have to figure out a different way to explain it to him. But that's progress. Wow. That's pretty cool.

I know. Do you guys have... Their little brains grow. Are you learning, like, hand signals? Like, how do you talk whenever you can't fully say a word? No, maybe I'll go point to something or find a different way to explain it. But if not, if it's just too difficult, it's probably just not something he's going to grasp quite yet. So we just move on.

Do you ever tell your daughter to translate it to your son? Yes. Yeah. Thank you, daughter. She's really good at it, too. And now they used to just talk to each other in Creole sometimes if they wanted to talk behind our backs. But I really think she's loving that she can communicate with us now. And so sometimes he'll try to get all sassy and say something to us in Creel.

And she used to not rat him out. And now she'll say, Mom, Mom, he just said he wants to go to do to do to you. And I'm like, oh, really? Wait, what does he say? What does da-da-da-da-da-da-da mean? Like what are the things he says? Well, I mean One time he said he wanted to

He's going to take my husband's belt off him and spank him You say no, that's for mommy Yeah, or I can't think of other That's one example that stands out right now Other stuff involving farts, I'm sure Oh, I go to Amy's house All our son wants to do that's me if I farted

You fought? You fought? You fought? It is all we talk about but my husband has taught my son to excuse himself from the room, go to the restroom, and fart, and then come back. Wow, I've never done that. I have two boys. It's actually pretty awesome because, let me tell you, it's so bad when it goes down. But now I've started to see my son disappear for a second, and then he'll return. And I said, where did you go? He said, I'm into the bathroom to fart.

So you're not laughing about it as much, because when you laugh about it, You're asking him to do it more. I don't know. We still laugh about it a lot. Because they're just so cute about it. How come you don't do that when lunchbox does it? Right. Guys, it's just that cute.

And he says fart. Like, they say fuck. It's like so cute. I'll fart too. It's no problem. Serena Williams, the tennis player, her husband, put up all these billboards when she was driving into her tennis tournament. she saw greatest mother of all time.

It's a GMOAT and a picture of her and the baby. That's romantic or not? I think it's thoughtful, creative. The worst part I'm thinking about is what if she's driving in and she doesn't look up. Hey, turn around, turn around, go back, go back. What if she's driving in and she hates the picture? Oh, well, I'm sure he got that approved by somebody. Well, it's her and her baby and their baby.

So, yeah, I thought it was cool, too. A lot of people were giving a hard time because I said it was really cheesy. Haters. Yeah, haters, right? Yeah, it's romantic. And who cares if something's cheesy? As long as people are feeling love,

who cares how you feel about it? They hurt nobody? Yeah. That dude's got a lot of money, though, that Reddit guy. You know, no one reads the terms and conditions anymore. 98% of people, they just click agree without knowing what they're consenting to. and I'm part of that 98%.

If I get on a website or I'm clicking on something, do you agree terms and conditions? I don't read it. Do you maybe? No, you know that? I told you I went into that walk-in chiropractor or whatever.

There was a guy in there filling out paperwork before me. But I was so fast with my paperwork because I didn't read any of the terms and conditions. I just kept signing my name. And the guy looked up at me and he was like, I'm actually reading the paperwork. And I was like, sorry, I'm next.

I just wanted my book. back popped. I don't even really read stuff when I buy a house. Well, yeah, that's what you're... That's too long. Other people read it for you. Like if you're getting a loan, the lender, they read it for you. Yeah. Yeah, I don't read anything. So I have this. This is for album of the year. Tell me which one of these that you listen to the most. Okay, you have Little Big Town Breaker, the Breaker, John Party, California Sunrise, Chris Stapleton from my room, Volume 1, Old Dominion, Happy Endings or Thomas Rett, life changes.

Okay. Which one? Chris Stapleton. Yeah, me too. Stapleton's going to win all the awards. Yeah. The only one he may not win is entertainer of the year. And all those guys are deserving.

But I can see Luke or Garth or Jason or Keith Urban. That's all of them. And Chris Stapleton is one of them winning. Those are all the nominees. That's a tough one. Yeah, that's a tough one to pick. Female vocalist of the year. You know, I think that Marin probably

had the best year overall, but it's tough to unthrown someone, so Miranda will probably win it, but I think Marin has the best shot to knock her out. Other people up for it

are Carrie Underwood. She didn't do a lot last year. She kind of retired halfway through the year. She was like, I'm done. I'm going to check out for a bit. Riba and Kelsey Ballerini. I think Miranda probably wins

and Marin Morris. Ooh, she could be the surpriseer, though, of that category. Any thoughts on that, Amy? I think you're right. Marin and Miranda, they were both nominated for four awards. Yeah, I saw that the big nominee leaders were Stapleton and Thomas Rett. I think Marin was in that mix too.

Yeah. Stapleton 8, Thomas 6, Marin 4. Stapleton 8. Are you kidding me? No. That guy just dominates. That's awesome. Good for him.

Because ain't nobody hating on Stapleton because he's up for eight awards, man. Right? Do you ever hear anybody hating on him? No. No, because here's one. he's a nice guy. Yeah. And he spent all these years in town just writing songs for everybody.

And not only that, he's not a guy that goes, I'm the way. He goes, you know what, I'm not the way. I do my music. I also write songs for other artists that do what's called pop country. So he's like quit Hey Down Pop Country because I write those songs too. I just like Chris. I like what he stands for. I love his music.

I like him as a person. He's been over at the house. He's been in our show. We have a whole library of him playing live in our studio because before he put out his records, we had him on the show all the time. So yeah, he's the easy one to root for. And because he's just so good too. So yeah, there's that.

Everybody good? Yeah, doing good. Yeah. Your day good yesterday, Amy? Yeah, it was amazing. I mean, because, yes, Thursday leads to fray. No, I didn't think about that. That's a good point.

The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny. So along with all the ACM nominations yesterday, Riba also announced that she's going to be the one host the ACM Awards. This is going to be her 15th time to do it. And they'll air live from Vegas on CBS, April 15th. Yeah. So she was the every year host of the ACMs for many, many, many years. You know, Luke has done it before. And Luke can't do it now because Idol. He still may play. I don't know what's happening over there with that with Luke and Idol. But that's why he can't host.

But Reba will be great. I love it that it's Reba. It'll be fantastic. What else? You got some movies out today, Red Sparrow. That's the one with Jennifer Lawrence. 52% positive on Rotten Tomatoes. It's a whole Russian intelligence type show of case you're into that. And there's also Death Wish out in theaters today with Bruce Willis.

Amy, that's your 30 Second Skinny. By the way, let me say this. If you want to come out to a comedy show, do you know it's, I'm just two weeks away from starting my comedy tour? Yeah, Red Hoodie, hit it up. No, not hit it up. It's coming quick.

I guess it's not a big deal for you, but for me it's coming really quick. So if you're in Colorado Springs, that's where I'm starting. There are only a few tickets left. Colorado Springs are out. Albuquerque or Tampa or even Wichita Falls, Texas, tickets at bobby bonescom. Man, hope your Friday is going good.

I'm going to give a big shout out to everybody in Las Vegas, because I'm working in the Las Vegas studios this morning at our station 955 The Bull and everybody's so nice here and I was in Denver yesterday everybody was some nice there and so I go out to California this weekend to tape the last time that I'm

taping with American Idol I guess I've done like eight days of taping total and so yeah I'm pretty worn down from traveling a bit but I feel good but we were in Denver and we went to this place where they do the IVs inside of you yeah I didn't think much of it

I'd never done that before but one of my friends Hey, my buddy owns it. And basically it's just vitamins and hydration. And I said, cool, because that elevation was crushing me. I was getting a headache and my heart was beating a little fast. Yes. I thought I was having a little heart attack. You just got a little pick me up.

So we had time to kill, so I just went. I was like, this would be cool. And it was really cool. I take vitamins in my mouth. What's the difference? But man, people, they lit me up on Instagram. Why? Are you ready?

Ready. Jill writes, are you kidding me? look ridiculous. Amy writes, not you, a different one, this is ridiculous. I work in EMS, and we have to scrape to get IV fluids. Here's my question about that. What am I supposed to do, go, I will not do this and I will take them and drive them over to somewhere. I don't, I didn't know. Yeah, no, I don't get that. Avon writes, a healthy person would be able to handle the altitude. You need to listen to your body better. Okay. Jesse writes, fluids are in a national back order. Please tell me that that's not in the

bag. I didn't know I was doing something so controversial. You'll see on my Instagram. Oh, okay. I'll have to go check it out because I didn't know this was a thing either. I mean, those types of services are popping up more and more all over the place. And let me say, I loved it. So shout out for that. So yeah, it's called Onus IV in Denver. O-N-U-S. So I want to give them a shout out. I loved it. I felt pretty good. I'm not going to lie to you. I felt hydrated. And I was dry up there. So that, and then I posted a picture of our very first picture when we moved to Nashville five years ago. Let me tell you, we did not look.

You looked good. You're the one that lasted, Amy. You would look good when you got here. You still look great. All us dudes, we look like turds when we got to Nashville. Pretty bad. No, God. It doesn't look bad.

I mean, I'm probably 10 pounds heavier. Lunch is probably 30 pounds heavier. 30? Look at the picture on my Instagram. Have you not seen the picture, Amy? I've seen the picture, but 30's a lot. It looks like I drank a whole cup. of salt before I took that picture.

I probably, y'all lost weight. I've gained weight. No, you look great. You're the same perfect little princess as always. No, stop. But that's up, and I wrote a big long note thanking all of our listeners that had just been awesome to the whole process. We're not officially celebrating it yet, though. We wanted to do like a show on the air. That was, you can see that up there. Also, this teapot that the guy bought for 20 bucks in South Carolina. Apparently ended up being a revolutionary award teapot, sold it for $806,000 after it.

Whoa. Yeah. How about that? When people stumble across stuff like that, it's amazing. An Eagle Eye Antiques Enthusiaston enthusiast bought the teapot and saw it, again, it was bought for $206,000 and sold it for $806,000. That is crazy. I had no idea the value obviously when the first person bought it.

Obviously. And that person that sold it for 20 bucks, man. It missed out. That's the person. Oh, I didn't think about that. Yeah. That's the person that I'm like, dang. Well, I hope they just stay away from the news, you know, until this dies down because that hurts. There was another store where 31 refinery workers won $60 million in the jackpot, the lottery. So it's the biggest award ever in this type of lottery.

They've been buying lottery tickets for years. they all throw in five bucks, and they bought a $155 worth of tickets, and so they hit for $60 million. They'll each get close to $2 million each. Within the group, there's a father, son, and identical twin brothers. Wow. Whoa. Ballard family.

That family's value just won a big time. There's a town of California that's banning all people from using cell phones and listening to music while crossing the street. And if you're doing that, they're going to find you $100. And I'm going to say this. I love it. I don't really think listening to music is a big of a factor, but you're looking at your phone crossing the street.

You're not just being an idiot for you. You may walk out and a car could hit you and you could hurt the person that's driving the car. Right. So I'm off for when you cross the street having to look up. You're walking across the street for Pete's sake. So for Pete's sake and for mine, I'm glad they're doing this. Me too.

Does anybody even say for Pete's sake anymore? Not just you. You haven't heard of that in a while? I'm trying to think if I've heard it recently. Nope. But I do think that's going to be a thing in the next five. years where they're going to start finding people all the different cities if you're walking across street on your cell phone. Yeah. Because they're doing it in the cars. We're going to be able to

tell our kids or our grandkids one day, yeah, that used to be legal. We used to be able to do that. They're going to put street lights on corners on the ground because where people are looking at their phones. They're eventually going to have to do that. Like to walk and don't walk. Yeah. That makes sense. That way we just don't have to ever look up. It's be amazing. You don't have to make eye contact with anybody. All of our heads and our necks are just going to be Totally. If you're 16 now, you have no chance of not having a hunchback by the time you're 60. Yeah. That tech's neck is real. Lunchbox is fascinated with money. So I go to you, Lunchbox. They did a survey and they talked to 2 million people.

What do you think the sweet spot for happiness was financially? Ooh, probably six figures. So $100,000 for one person. so yeah, I'd say $100,000. Okay, so a survey about 2 million people found that the sweet spot for happiness is in between $60,000 and $75,000 a year. Man, those people are cheap. They also saw that after you made $95,000, your satisfaction of well-being went down. Stop, stop.

If you made a million dollars, if you gave these people a million dollars a year, their satisfaction level would go way up, I promise. Okay. Stop. They just lie to that because they want to sound good on a survey. They don't want to admit the truth. They're scared to say it because they don't want to sound greedy. Give them a million dollars and they're but woohoo!

But you see, you have so many rich people that say like they're not any happier. Show me them. So listen, here's the reason the story exists and why they say over 95,000. Because once you start to make into the hundreds of thousands, you start to according to this, go, how do I make more? How do I make more? You're not happy with what you're doing. you just want to make more. You just are fascinated with compounding.

You know, what do I need to do with it? It's almost more money, more problems. Okay, I see what you're saying, because if the satisfaction level is the same at 90,000, I was going to tell you guys, so why don't Luke Bryan and these guys just, you know, make $90,000 a year and go home? Because they're just so satisfied.

No chance. Give me the millions. I don't know the answer to your question. I don't know that this is really regarding Luke Brian and them. Yeah, I don't know that Luke even took the survey. Maybe there's not one of the surveyed that made a lot of money. He's very happy with that. Oh, yeah, because he gets to make a living singing and dancing.

That's what it is, too, Amy. You nailed it right there. Thank you. I bet you, if you told him 15 years ago he was going to make $60,000 and he's going to sing for his career, he'd be like, I'll take it. I'm Luke Brown. I love that idea. The fact that he makes millions is just cherry on top.

You guys live in an alternate reality because that's not. Not true. If you told him that, he'd be done with singing a long time ago. Do you know, there's so many singers out there still pursuing it that don't even make that? Oh, Amy Most. I know. I mean, I'm looking at Lunchbox being like, he doesn't, he thinks that if you sing, you may. And they would be a lot more satisfied if they made more money. Okay. Well, I'm glad we could talk about this. Thank you for participating in the survey.

Lunchbox, how much money do you want to make to be happy? Answer the question, please. Go ahead. Million bucks. I want a million dollars. There he is. Well, see you later, everybody. The Bobby Bones Show. Stephanie in Ohio, good morning.

Hi, Bobby. I was just calling to see how Dusty was doing. Oh, Dusty's my dog. He's 14 and a half years old. He was diagnosed with blood cancer about six months ago and then give him about six months to live. I think he's just moving along. I mean, I don't expect him to be around for a terribly lot longer. But things are good right now. He is acting really healthy. It's one of those times where I wish I could talk. talk to a dog. Did he go, how are you really feeling?

But he did slam into the stairs yesterday. He was trying to run up the stairs. And he didn't get his feet up in time and just went head first right into the stair. It wasn't a pretty experience. He started going with his mouth. But I think that's just him being older and clumsy. But I think he's acting and feels healthy as could be.

That's wonderful. I follow you guys on Instagram. So I'm always checking in to see how you guys are doing. Let me ask you a question. Stephanie, do you mind? No, not at all. Do you get tired of my dog pictures on Instagram? Never, never, not one bit.

Because really, that's about the only thing I have going for me in my life, like on a connection, a personal level, and I'm proud of that dog. So I post pictures all the time, but I wonder, do people go, stop posting your dog, Bobby? I am the same way. So people probably feel the same way about me, but I love it. So I know a bunch of people out there love Dusty and keep doing what you're doing. Well, thank you very much.

Thank you for the call. I appreciate that. Thanks for asking about my dog. It's very kind of you. Thanks to everybody for this. Sends me tweets and Instagrams. It's very kind of you guys to care about that. The Bobby Bones show, Bobby Bones.

Our phone screener Hillary was guilted into reading my book, Bear Bones. I didn't guilt her. I had no problem with her not reading the book. But Amy was like, I can't believe you didn't read the book. Well, I just, I really couldn't. There's so much to learn about the show in there and Bobby as a person. and when you're working for someone and they have a book, like, read it. Man.

So Hillary's in here now. Hillary, you finished the book. I finished. I felt so bad. So I went home immediately and I started reading it. Yeah? I finished it. So your thoughts on the book, first of all?

I really liked it. I already respected you, but I gained even more respect for you after finishing it. Okay. So tell me some things that you learned from reading bare bones written by me, Bobby Bones. My first book. Go ahead. I did not know Dusty was named after your general manager in Austin. Yeah, when he didn't fire me.

because lunchbox went and basically robbed a store on the air. He didn't, but they put us in jail. And by the last, I mean, lunchbox. And when we got to keep our job, I named my dog after my general manager, Dusty, who kept me. Because you probably totally should have been fired. Oh, yeah. We should have been fired.

So what else did you learn? How you got the name Bobby Bones. I didn't know that either. It was forced on me. Yeah, it was either Bobby Z or Bobby Bones, right? That's right. And I hated them both. Still, if I could go back and change it, I would.

If I go to my real name right now, I would. I'm not even shy about putting my real name out there anymore. But my real name is Bobby. But yes, I was told at 17, your name's either Bobby Bones or Bobby Z. And I thought, well, at least Bones kind of sounds like a pirate or a real person a bit. So that's what I went with. There you go, too. What else?

Your right eye doesn't work. That is correct. All I can see out of my right eye is a little bit of light and blur shapes. And I had to wear a patch of the kid. And I got beat up. So I stopped wearing a patch. And so the eye still doesn't work. That's correct.

Anything else, Hillary? Yes. I didn't know how smart you are. I knew you were a smart person, but you would buy encyclopedias and read them as a kid and you were captain of a quiz bowl team. I would save my money and buy a new letter until I got them all.

And then they were out of a date, basically, when I finally filled it all. But yeah, when I was in seventh grade, I was captain of the 12th grade quiz bowl team. Let me tell you how many chicks I got me. None. Zero. So, yes.

Anything else? I do have a question. I learned how you met Lunchbox and Amy, but how did you meet Eddie? It's in there. Is it in there? It should be in there. I've not rewrite the book.

Oh, no. How did you see it? Doing a amendment. I don't know if it's in there. Amy and I first met at a restaurant. Lunchbox and I met, he was a delivery driver for Jason's Deli when we met. Eddie was working in television and I got a job doing TV. It was probably 24, 25.

Yeah, we were youngans. Yeah. And I didn't know Eddie. Eddie was just a producer. And they assigned us together to do this music TV show. And so every day I went in and we went to work And then we just got along And then we were friends for 10 years before you came over here basically

So I did was just my randomly selected TV producer And we were friends forever And he worked in news and worked And that's what he did his whole life And so that was it Never knew that. Yeah, there you go We just became friends doing something else

And then he came over I remember offering him the job We were playing golf And said hey dude Do you want to move and just edit for the show And my wife's pregnant Yeah Junior Junior at that time

There's no guarantee we're going to make it. Actually, probably won't. Yeah, you're like, it's a big risk. And I'm like, my wife's pregnant. I got no money. Let's do it. So then we all move to Beverly, as they say. Yeah.

So thank you, Hillary. I really liked the book, though. It was really good. Thank you very much. I wrote the book, what, two years ago? Has it already been two years? Yeah, my new one comes out in June. I'm working that one for six, seven months.

So there you go. So we'll have another one to read Hillary. No, we won't. I'll read it. No, no. I'll read it. So I'll play you the catchphrase from a TV character. You have to name the TV show.

Okay. Easy enough. Amy, I'll let you go first. And again, this is audio of the character saying it. All I need is the TV show. You ready? Ready. Catchphrase number one.

Holy crap. Holy crap. Holy crap. I have no idea. I have zero. That's everybody loves Raymond. That's the grandpa. His dad.

Okay, now that you say that, sounds really obvious to me, but I would have never guessed it. Lunchbox, ready? Yeah. Number two. Hey. Hey. What's that TV show? Hey.

What? One of the most famous catchphrases of all time in all television. Hey. Go ahead and play it again. Hey. That's the one with the Fonzarelli. What is it called? Happy Days?

Oh! It's the Fonzarelli. Hey. Eddie, you ready? Yeah. What TV show is this from? That's what she said. That's the office.

That's correct. That's what she said. I love that. He's so funny. Amy. Yeah. What TV show has this from? Oh my God.

They killed Kitty. SpongeBob? Oh. SpongeBob. No. South Park. Amy. Oh, I don't know South Park.

I never watched it. I just sounded like a cartoon. Okay, okay, okay. Good context clues. Thank you. But you didn't get it. Yeah, I mean, I'm just saying it. At least I got it was a cartoon.

Lunchbox. Ready? What you're talking about, Willis? Oh. What's you talking about, Willis? Oh, I, I, okay. Different strokes. Yeah.

Yeah. That nailed it. Eddie. Okay, come on. Yeah, we're going old. Ready? Yeah, yeah. Oh, full house.

How old is. How old is. No, it's not Michelle. Oh, that's Stephanie. Yeah. But you got it. What's the score? How rude.

We both have two, Eddie and I, Amy, a zero. Oh, Amy. I'm going to go ahead and limit you from the game. Oh, man. I know. I'm going to limit you early. Sorry, Amy. It's a winner over here.

Lunchbox, ready? Yeah. I pee the fool. I pity the fool. I pity the fool. Oh. I pee the fool. Oh, it's Mr. T.

But what show is it? Is it's called Mr. T? I'm going Mr. The A team. Guys, can we get one from this century for me? Yeah, that's true. Eddie, are you ready? Yeah.

Dino! Yeah! This is older than the A team. That is really old. That's a JJ. Dynamo! Good times. Good times is correct.

That was for the 70s. Dude, that's a good show. Temporary layoffs. Lunchbox, you ready? Yeah, that was when Eddie was in high school. No, it's not true. Here we go. Oh, Newman.

Oh, that's Seinfeld. There you go. Eddie? Come on, come on. Eat my shorts. Oh, Simpsons. Lunchbox. I say good day.

Oh, that's 70s show. That's Fess. Eddie. Come on. Marsha, Marcia. Brady Bunch. Dude, how many more you got? None.

No! No, I can't tie him. Come on. One more. You come up with one. I'll come up with one and you have to just buzz in your name. Okay. Do you know one?

Yeah. Go ahead. Did I do that? Did I do that? Money Matters. Correct. There it is. There it is.

Eddie wins. Nice work, buddy. Man, got a lot of feedback yesterday. We were talking about Bumble, that app, and I asked if I'm too old to be on Bumble because I'm 37. Yeah. And then we went through the whole thing, what's my dating age range?

Because I have to be honest with you, I haven't been on one date. I haven't even flirted one time in six months. Nothing. Not even a flirt. A little tiny flirt? I mean, not that I'm on a dry spell. Okay.

And a self-imposed one. I don't feel like I have to. to get back in the game. Well, I know, obviously. I mean, you could flirt if you wanted to, but you're not. There are no laws against flirting. I looked. So, yeah, we were talking about that yesterday, and so everybody kept saying that old rule of divide your age and half, and then add seven. Yeah. So apparently, do that math on a calculator, Eddie. Okay, let me pull it up. So I'm 37. Divided by two. Divided by two. That would be 18 and a half.

Okay, and do I add something? Seven. I add seven. Okay, okay. Now add seven. All right. That's 25 and a half. So, Amy, I said I can start at 26, but the rule says I can start at 25 and a half.

I mean, do what you got to do. No, you give me a hard time yesterday, and that's the rule. Divide by two, add seven. Yeah. Okay. Are you, wait, are we taking to account that your birthday is coming up? Uh-oh. We're not there yet, though.

Basically. You might have to take that halfway now. Yeah. Well, listen, when I turn on April 2nd, when I turn 38, I will then be able to date 26-year-olds. There you go. I can rock the 25-and-a-half-year-old market. Get it. You got one month to flirt with the 25-and-half-year-olds.

They're going to get older, too, Amy. That's true. Good point. Good point. It all work out. Best thing about 25-5-year-olds? Don't do it. Don't do it.

I get old. they stay the same age. Yeah, good times. I do have a story that I laughed at. Not because it's funny just because it's crazy. There was a woman in New York. She's in trouble because she attempted murder and burglary. She tried to poison a look-alike, someone that looked just like her,

with tainted cheesecake, and then steal her identity or passport and take over her life. That's really a lot. That's a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They tried poisoning her with a tranquilizer-laced piece of cheese. cake. And then she was There's so many layers

to this story. If the news cycle wasn't so crazy right now every five seconds was something big, this is the biggest new story the month. Did they even

look alike a little? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. They do. Oh man, that makes me worried for anybody that thinks they look

sort of like me. It needs a new identity. Amy, you do look like Kevin watching the Americans. You do look like Carrie Russell. Carrie Russell. You look like Felicity Kerry Russell when you were younger,

but you look like Gary Russell now as an adult a bit. Oh. I think if there are new listeners, because, for example, we're on in Denver now, and they don't know us yet. Think of Carrie Russell, that's Amy. Think of Doug Funny, that's Lunchbox. Think of with Eddie. Think of Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.

He's losing his hair a little bit. All right, I'll take it. Yeah. For Bobby, think of Dexter. Okay, with darkroom glasses. Dexter meets Weezer. Yeah, Weezer's a good one. Rivers Cuomo from the Leitzingerer Weezer meets Dexter. Okay.

Listen, I can't fight about that. Like if Weezer, Rivers and Dexter had a baby, Bobby. That, okay. You know, one of my favorite pictures of my house is me and Rivers from Weezer. Mm-hmm. I took that. You did take that. Yeah, shut out. And I was so happy to take. I'm so much bigger than he is. He, and I'm... You mean in size?

Yeah. Yeah. No, not in, like, fame. It's just terrified. Nobody gives a crap who I am. He's a legend. They're going to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day. But yeah, I'm almost a foot taller than him.

Yeah, he was tiny. Tiniier than I thought. Yeah, but he's like a genius. He went back to college after they were huge. He quit doing Weezer and went back to school just to learn more. He went to Ivy League school, I believe. Yeah, I'm thinking about doing that. Are you?

Yeah, leaving here. I think our producer Raymond, who works in the glass room, wants to go back to college. Is that true, Raymond? Yeah, I want to take a little, no, some classes. They don't necessarily have to be radio. Maybe they're in finance. Maybe they help me with the organization.

But I know people that don't even go for master's degrees always will take classes just to touch up a little bit. Well, you don't need to study radio because you're already in radio. And I don't even think that would help me because honestly, the classes I did take in college, they didn't teach me any of the stuff that I deal with now. You know, I got kicked out of a college, like, invited never to speak again. I went and told anyone in radio, get out. Like, don't quit school to study something else. Well, you were talking to a broadcast type class, right?

Yeah, are you hating on me? No, I mean, I'm just paying, some people maybe haven't heard this story. And just to be clear, you were invited by a broadcast professor to come speak to the broadcast students. And then you basically were like, if, don't take broadcasting. Yeah, yeah.

And they told me never come back. Yeah. And it was a Texas State University. I'm welcome back now. But I just want to be honest with them. I say, hey, you can go intern somewhere and learn this. Like, if you're here to learn, get a degree where you learn something else because college is worthless for radio.

I mean, I have a degree. It's worthless. The radio part was worthless for me. Yeah. What'd you study? What was your college, Jane? Agricultural development. How's that working out?

That's pretty awesome. What'd you do out of college with that? I went and got a sales job. I just, well, I was political science for my first three years. And then I just, I went to my advisor and I was so over it. I did not like my upper level government classes at all. And I just said, I need to get out of college as quickly as possible. She said, boom, ag development.

It's got your name all over it. Look at you now. Look at me now. Crushing it and radio. The best female co-host I've ever heard. Oh my gosh. I'm not even kidding. Yeah.

The best co-host I've ever heard. And you didn't even study this thing. Nope. I put that in our five-year message yesterday on Instagram. I said, hey, we're five years, a big deal for us. And I just thanked everybody because other than me, nobody on this show has radio experience. And we've been able to just claw our way to whatever this is now. So here we are.

But I mean, okay, but however, I mean, you say five years, my radio career is 12 years. Oh, you and I've been together 12 years, but you've never been on the radio before I found you. I know. But I mean, am I like the same as I was 12 years ago or have I evolved as an employee? part of your partner your co-host your both both i think you've gained skills and you've done your own stuff you did a show by yourself you've done podcast by yourself i think that but you're the key to you is that i try to keep you being as human as possible you know this yeah so i don't want you getting too much into the radio thing and it's you have to take care of you first and we'll take care of the rest

so yeah i think both that a good answer good times yeah the babbo show here's amy's pile of stories so some Some people really don't want to wait for their check at the restaurant, and they're just straight up leaving. They're not people that intended on doing a dine and dash. They get impatient, and they feel like they have the right to leave. Well, I get extremely impatient, too, because on my last bite, I want to be walking out the door.

I think it's a cultural problem with the waitstaff at restaurants, because as a waiter, I was told, hey, give everybody plenty of time. Give them time to hang, to talk. Most people want to have conversations after dinner. But I think we're in this environment, in this world now where it's go, go, go, go, go. you know, short attention spans. So what I will propose is that you put a credit card swiper on table. Yeah.

And some places are doing that. The average wait time for a check is nine minutes and 57 seconds. That's about eight minutes too long. Well, some people are saying like, yeah, if I have to wait more than 30 minutes, I'm just going to get up and walk out. Yeah, I don't think that's it. You can't get up and walk out. But what you should do is just walk over to someone and say, hey, I would like my check.

Because that's what I do. or what I do is when I sit down, I go, hey, can I go ahead and get the check? I'm known to do that. Can I get the check right now as soon as we're done ordering? And then it's done. I know. Sometimes if you're out and tea with Bobby, you're like, okay, yeah, let's just talk for a second. He does.

He takes that last bite. And then he's like, okay, Bill's paid. Let's go. All the talking can be done from when you sit down to the last bite. Otherwise, I'm out, man. I got to unbiting my pants and go lay down. But yes, I agree with whatever this thing is. What else?

So parents are looking to hire sexverts to give their kids the talk. I saw this where they want to pay money for people to come in and have uncomfortable conversations with their kids because they don't want to be parents and have uncomfortable conversation with their kids. Yeah, and people are paying close to $3,000 to have a sex expert come in and handle this talk. Teach the kids about all the birds and the bees and all the things. I would, listen, that'd be a career I could be a part of. I don't know much. That's a lot of money.

Yeah, yeah, now that I bash it, I go, oh, wow, that's quite lucrative. Maybe this is a, yeah, listen, be a parent, have the difficult conversations. If you don't, and if you're absolutely not going to, I can understand having someone do it for you. But man, that seems like a lot of money. It's just better your kid has the talk, though. Otherwise, they're just running blind. I mean, that's like rolling in dough. It's like, so what do you do for a living?

Well, parents hire me to. That's not what you want your job to be described as. I'll say this, nobody ever had to talk with me about sex. That's why I still haven't had it. Well. You okay. Well, and until you were 20 or how old, did you think babies came out of the belly button? No, Amy, relax a second.

I thought babies came out of the belly button until I was probably 13. But I was a virgin until I was 21. Let's get the two. Listen, I'm not proud of either one of them so much. There's nothing wrong with that. Yeah. I'm not a sex expert. I think to be an expert

In anything, you must have done it at least 50 times. Yeah, I'm not there. Okay, so heads up, this is us slow cooker decals are hitting the market so you can put one on your car or you might see them. I'm not giving anything away. I confirmed with multiple people if you haven't seen the final episode of This Is Us or the season of how he died and whatnot. But it has to do with slow cookers and people are just,

want to remind you to unplug. Unplug. So the decal on the car says... Well, I haven't seen it, and I know that's happened. There are two things, and I don't want to spoil the Walking Dead for anyone. But when something is so big, if it's culturally a big deal when a show comes on, it's not the internet's job to hide it from you. And I saw that he died because of a crock pot or whatever.

And I also saw that Carl died in the Walking Dead. Because it's all... Amy, it's all over everything. You can't not see it. Oh, I didn't know that. But I still haven't seen the episode either. But you knew he was going to die from last season. Okay, yeah.

But it's so all over the internet that even I'm comfortable with saying that out loud. Yeah. So I didn't know those decals were out there. Yeah, it's Jack's vase and then it says, don't forget to unplug me. I think if they just want to make money more than raise awareness for crock pots. Think about it. There are a lot of things that be aware of.

And being aware of crockpots is like 8,700th on the list. Yeah. Don't forget to take your lint out of the dryer. I won't even do those. Yeah. That starts fires. Isn't that one at Keith Urban's biggest pet peeves is not unloading or taking cleaning the lint out every single load? You know, I haven't done laundry with Keith in a long time.

I have no idea how I know that. Yeah. What else? Okay, so Oprah is out promoting her movie. It doesn't come out this weekend, but next weekend called... A wrinkle in time. It's massive. It's a book, right?

Like a massive book. Reese Witherspoons in it. So anyway, they're all being asked questions about life as a star. And someone asked them like what they do that's like normal people. And Oprah said she's recently started paying some of her own bills, but she still doesn't answer her own phone. So you're never going to be able to call Oprah. But I really can't imagine her paying any of her bills.

But she also said she goes to Starbucks and orders her own coffee. And she recently went through the drive-thru. And they're like, you know, what's your name? And she was like, Oprah. And they're like, how do you spell that? I think that's fair because they don't think it's Oprah Winfrey. And secondly, I would just like to say this. being someone myself that is moderately regionally known.

It's not quite famous, but moderately known in regional areas of America. I would love to not have to answer my phone. And I don't. I don't answer my own phone. Now, no one else does either. But I just don't answer my phone. My phone is not a phone to me. It's a tiny computer that sometimes I might talk on.

So I get it, Oprah. Let's misspell my name too. B-O-B-B-I. Yeah. Yeah. It's tough being moderately, regionally known in certain pockets of America. Yeah, stars are just like us. Yeah, they're just...

All right, thank you. I'm Amy. That's my pile. We sit around a big table, so I sit here behind what's the pilots board. Amy's to my left. Lunchbox is to my right. And in the middle of them is Morgan number two, who does all of our social media, our website, as the show goes along. She's on Twitter. And she has this weird throat thing.

where when she talked and it's been your whole life, right? Yeah, I've had it like as far as I can remember. Have you been to the doctor to get a diagnosed? Yeah, and there's been a few different things they've suggested, but nothing ever really came of any of it. One of the listeners sent in a note and says that they think you have a thyroid problem.

I got one of those mentions too, and I've looked into that one. Why don't you go to the doctor? Like, I went to my practitioner, and he was like, you don't have a thyroid problem. just like as of right now, there's, you have no other symptoms that are helping us figure it up. Because when you talk, you have to clear your throat every single time. Yes. What's fuck?

What would you diagnose it as? I would say that's tuberculosis because I had that problem for a few years and I went to the doctor and once I got cleared, took my pills for nine months, I don't have that problem anymore. Nine months? Yes, I take a pill every single day. No alcohol. So what if you go to a different doctor just for once?

Like a specialist. You can't go to like a family. doctor that checks your temperature. Your cousin Jimmy in Kansas can't do everything for you. You have to go to like a specialist. Okay. Lunchbox, if you give me your tuberculosis specialist. Well, I went to the disease center. I don't know that it's,

I mean, what if she went to like an ear, nose and throat? I think you just need to go to a doctor, doctor. Okay. And if it's, if you need me to pay the bill, I'll pay the bill. I think you need to get it checked out though. Okay. I can do that. Because something serious. I like to talk to her more on the air sometimes Amy.

And you weren't here and she did a really good job on the air. But sometimes I'd be like, hey, Morgan, she'll be yes? Yes? No, I mean, I sit right next her. She's great. Morgan, you're great at everything that you do. But sometimes she even makes me want to clear my throat. Dang.

Okay. It is. It's like one of those things. It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,

it's like, it's like, okay, so we're going to get you to something. Okay, Morgan, number two? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're going to get help. By the way,

it's out of kind, caring and kindness of our hearts. Yeah, we love you. I should, and it would make me feel better because I hate it myself. I just. It's annoying more than anything.

It's because we carry them. We're grossed out. Okay, fair enough. Bobby Foams. The Bobby Bones Show. Amy, what's happening this weekend? Well, I'm excited because I'm getting my hair did. Do you still get to have three-hour hair appointments that you have kids?

It does take a while, and that was a good question. This is me, my first time where my husband's busy and I actually have to get a sitter so I can go get my hair done. Is that? Because on Monday, we're going to talk about how Amy is. We don't want to say who is hiring someone from the show to watch our kids. It could be me. Never know.

But is that who's watching your kids then? Yeah. So that I can go. Yeah. So I can go get my hair done. I have to bring in some side help. That's a lot. Because your kids are a lot.

I know. I'm a little worried about that. But also, there's going to be a time limit. So, yeah, to answer your question, I guess we just get done. We get done. If I have to leave with wet hair, I leave with wet hair. I don't know. Yeah.

Well, good luck with that. Yeah. What about you? I leave. I'm in Las Vegas right now. I do a little taping here tonight. Then I go to Los Angeles tomorrow and I tape. And then I think I'm done with Idol.

Taping-wise for good after tomorrow, I think, unless they just go, wow, this guy is so good. Yeah. We just got to have him. No, that's not going to happen. But I don't know. I mean, that's what I'm going to do. And then I fly back. I haven't been home in a week.

So I'm anxious to get back. I'm home. I just like working with you guys. Listen, Vegas and Denver have been awesome. to work from, but I miss you. I miss you guys. You'd rather see us? That's sweet. Heck yeah, man. I would. All of you. So that's, I'm going to work tonight and then I'm going to Los Angeles tape tomorrow. Other than that, back home. I'm ready to see my dog. I bet my dog. He's not doing well, so, yeah. No, that's true. Like, I check him on my dog all the time. Like on FaceTime?

Yeah, just call him. He's got his own. He's just paw on it. He's like, hello. Yeah, so, yeah, thank you everybody for listening. Appreciate that. And I hope you have a great weekend. We'll see on Monday. Instagram is Mr. Bobby Bones, M.R. Bobby Bones. Amy's at Radio Amy. And other than that, we'll see you. You like that? Yeah, I know. This is kind of new. You throwing out our Instagram handles. Yeah, there you go. Our handles. All right. Is that not cool? Is that not cool? I don't know. I feel like you're going to walk into CB. Okay. We'll see you Monday. Bye, everybody.
