Thank you guys for listening. into the podcast. This is Kristen who left us a voicemail last night. You know what? Eat it when you're ready. Not the most important meal of the day. I'm a mom of three kids. I work part time. So I thought, let me put this to you. I wake up in the morning ahead of the kids. I do my own thing. I don't make anything until they finally say, hey mom, I'm hungry. I'm getting so much more done in the morning. Life changing. You know, Dr. Oz reminded us that the saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day was a phrase for a commercial. We only think that because we've heard it so many times.

And he's like, if you're hungry, eat, that's it. So thank you for that voice. Hey, there's that. And you know what else has changed my mind when you told me was the amount of toothpaste you put in your toothbrush? Like now I really just put, you just said like a pea size of toothpaste because back in the day they would tell us or like commercials told us you had to fill up the whole strip.

That's changed like tremendously in my household. If you fill up the whole strip, your mouth is like, been doing it in my whole life, dude. Yeah, I was too until we talked about it. Now I just do like a little dab. Amazing. Here's a voicemail also from last night. Good morning, bye.

It's so good. Appreciate that. Wish you would have let your name, but appreciate that. Here is Grace from Michigan. I was just wondering if we could bring back to Amy yells a joke segment. I know it was a long time that Amy used to do that. But I remember riding to high school, I'm graduated from college now, and listening to Amy yell a joke, and it was honestly the funniest thing ever, and I really want to bring that back.

Thanks. Bye. There you go. Wow. We can bring it back before the end of the year. Okay? Okay. Have one ready.

Let's do Kelly from Michigan. I just read that Bobby is going to start playing on Monday, December 14th on the new peer country. First time in Detroit on Detroit radio, kind of just made my day. Congratulations, guys. Nice. We are on Pure Country 89 in Windsor, Canada, today for the first time, which is so close to Detroit, that Detroit also gets it. Yes.

So a big get for us, hopefully a big get for you guys, although I would assume nobody's listening to the podcast today that heard us for the first time on the radio. As I say in the show that you'll hear, we are in a quieter taste. You listening will vouch for that. But soon they'll all be here, or some of them will. Let's do one more. Here is voicemail number five. Morning studio. Suggestions. Since Bobby's always having you guys watch movies and drawing names for that, I think that he should watch a Christmas story.

I had heard him say he knows quotes from a Christmas story but's never seen a movie. That's Christmas movie. Have a good day. Do it. Okay. I'm not going to watch it, but thank you. Oh, boy. I will if Kailen's like, let's watch a Christmas story. Has she ever seen it? I'll ask her.

Okay. I'm not in Christmas mode yet. I mentioned that later. I'll be in Christmas mode once I finish this week. Once it's like the 18th or 19th, I'm in mode because I get to be home, back at my Christmas tree, sleeping on my own bed. I'm in the worst bed. Like the first, we're in an Airbnb, and the first bed that we slept in, it was quite comfortable. I was having some really good night's sleep other than the TV not being there.

but I accidentally pulled that fitted sheet off and there were a lot of stains on the mattress. Why would you do that? I didn't mean to pull the sheet off and I didn't stain the mattress. So I don't know what you're asking about. Why would I do what? Pull it off. Like don't look it.

I didn't mean to. Never look at the mattress, dude. Never. You have to like not think about that. It's like Fight Club. Never talk about Fight Club. Don't look at the mattress. I didn't mean to but there were stains all over the mattress.

And I was fine going to Target and getting some. new sheets because we're going to be in that bed for two weeks. But Caitlin was not. She was like, we're moving to a different bedroom. So we go to a different bedroom, and this bed is like Barney Rubble's bed. It's hard. It's like I'm on rocks. It's like I've been out at the Corey all day, and I'm laying on the rock bed.

Got it. Got it. Okay. Thank you. For anybody that didn't know who Barney Rubble was, he's in the Flintstones. Here's the story called the Boner of the Day. I have a boner of the day. By the way, a boner is defined as a stupid mistake.

So here you go. A drunk company had to issue a recall after they mixed up a bunch of depression pills with erectile dysfunction pills. No. And then put them in the same bottles together. Oh, my gosh. The pharmaceutical company AvCare

is recalling two medications that are used to treat erectile dysfunction and severe depression. The company said that Sildenfill and Trasidone tablets were inadvertently packaged together. when they were bottled by a third-party vendor. Man, that's crazy because a guy would be like,

wow, I'm feeling a lot better, and I'm feeling a lot better. But seriously, though, wouldn't it be bad for a woman to take that? Like, doesn't that just increase your blood pressure or something? I don't know. Eddie, I don't know. I'm 11, so I just think about anything that was adult or mature. And I'm thinking all scientifically. I'm just thinking about some guy getting extremely happy with a big boner.

That's all I'm thinking about. What, Amy? I just thought about Samantha on Sex and the City. It makes it. So I don't know if it's... Weird. Ray, can you give me a rim shot? Like, boom, ready? Because I'm going to wrote down a few little jokes I would say to this.

So let me know when you have that ready. By the way, if you need to get in touch with Abcare, they're open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Although I'd bet if you're taking it for the bona reason, you wouldn't take it until after 4 p.m. You would think. They probably can't call them to the next day. Got it.

All right. You know what? Someone should do hard time for this mistake. I mean, come on, they were already struggling with depression. This just made it even harder. Hey! That's good. Now you have a bunch of guys who are ready to go, but don't really care where.

Hey, that combination will lift your spirits. All right, thank you. Any more, that's it. That's a hard pill to swallow. So dumb. It is so dumb. I've been thinking about watching Selena on Netflix. Oh, yeah!

Hold on. Did you watch it though? Eddie did. Hold on. I'm going to tell you why that I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Oh, by the way, did she get shot? I shouldn't make that. That wasn't a joke. What do you mean?

Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, I didn't mean it like that. I didn't even take it that way. Okay, good, good. I don't want people to hit me up and be like, why I haven't gone ahead and watched the show is because I didn't know Selena growing up. I only knew Am I dreaming of you?

How does that song go? Yeah, is I'm dreaming of you tonight. Because tomorrow I'll be holding you tight And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be Yeah, I know that song. Okay

But to me, culturally as a kid growing up in Arkansas, I just heard Selena's song or two songs on the radio. But Eddie, for example, she was a big part of your culture. Of course. She played Tejano music, which is Texan music, and I'm Texan. That's my culture. And so I had to watch it 100%. So what is your review just as you when you watched it?

Okay, so yeah, I'm speaking for myself, the Hispanic and me who grew up in South Texas, just three hours south of Corpus Christi where she was from. I loved it. It was perfect because we had the Selena growing up, of course, loved her. I loved all her Spanish albums. And not that I was a Spanish music fan, but that's just everything that was playing everywhere I was. So I loved that.

And then when she crossed over to English, it was even better because that means the entire U.S. New Selena the way I did. So that was really cool. I even got to see her live when I was a kid at Fiesta, Texas. Amazing. So to watch, I loved the movie. The movie was cool.

It's two hours of Selena, the whole story in two hours. But this is awesome because it shows Selena from little girl, Selina to her growing up and just starting the band and the dad's passion to start this band and almost kind of like he was struggling financially. So he needed his three kids to start this band so that the family could live and eat and everything. So Selena was a big part in just the, that family surviving, which I loved that I got to experience all that. And then you get to kind of see how she was with her love life growing up because she didn't go to school. She had to drop out of high school.

So dude, I love it. I give it five beady, bea-bombs out of five. I need more. I need a season two now. Would I like it? Yes, because you love music. And that's all this is. This is about the struggle.

You know what, Bones? I thought of you because you always say that I hate the stories of overnight success because it's not true. And this shows that this is not true. It's not overnight success. It's struggle after struggle after struggle. record label hopes dies another record label all that which I think you would love

I'm looking at the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes it is the audience score is 43% positive that's not great the critic score is 33% positive that's not good at all yeah I don't think I'm gonna watch it

okay all right you can listen though here lunchbox review octopus teacher in this show today that'll happen a little bit If it was like 70 or above, Eddie, I think I'd watch it with your review. But what about my audience review versus all those other people that don't even care? Yeah, does his opinion mean nothing?

Nothing. I just spent five minutes telling you how awesome it was. No, no, no. But again, you grew up with her as a part of your lifestyle and your culture. It would be like me going, hey man, you got to really watch this documentary on Brooks Robinson. He was a heck of a third basement for the Orioles. He's from Arkansas. You know, we all, you would be like, okay, you only like him because he's from Arkansas.

Is it good? And if you looked up the review and it was 19%, you'd be like, you know, it was on the fence and I'm not going to do it. But there's something about me and my culture that you love. Like, Coco, you loved that movie. And that's a story of me, basically. Coco's a story of me. He talked to his, that's why I loved it. Kind of.

Here's a teacher getting robbed while on a Zoom call with the student's family. Have you guys heard this? No. Okay, so a Cleveland woman was teaching class online when a man broke into her house, threatened her with a knife, robbed her of watching. is in her husband's wedding ring. She was teaching via Zoom shortly after 11 am from her home office when she heard a strange noise.

She's a special education teacher. Quote, I think someone's breaking into my house. She said to her students before stepping away. Here's some of the news story from News 5 Cleveland with her being interviewed as part of the 911 call that the parent of one of the students made. There was a man walking through my baby gate with a knife in his hand walking upstairs. And he started threatening me, yelling at me, calling me names. He brought me upstairs into my bedroom.

He began rummaging through her things. This, all while Supansik's student and his family were still on that Zoom call listening from a county away. And on the location of your emergency. The teacher that teaches my son, somebody broke into her house. Like we saw him all on them. Isn't that crazy? That is nuts. You had hoped that guy would have been on a can't, like, I'm assuming it's a guy.

I always think people do really bad things. They have to be men. So, but you had kind of hoped he'd have popped in the room and you'd get to see his face, you know? But I don't think that was the case at all. I think that's it. While we're on an Eddie kick, I'll mention this. Eddie says that if they're driving to work, like his wife is driving the kids to school, right, basically? Yeah, yeah.

So every morning they drive to school and they listen to the show. And every time I win a game, according to my wife, the car goes crazy. Like, the boys just go nuts. and I was like, you have to record that next time. I need to see that. She's like, I will, I will. I'll stop the car and record it. If anyone else wins, like, if Amy or Bobby wins, they're just like, whatever.

Like, just move on with the day. But when dad wins, they go, yeah. I thought that was pretty cool. That is pretty cool. All right, that's it. I hope you guys enjoy the show today. Blake Shelton's on. Lunchbox reviews, the octopus teacher.

Charlie Pride, we talk about that. We lead the show and then also do it in the news. Enjoy. See you guys later. We're going. Come on, Bobby Bonds. Transmitting. This is the Bobby Boll show. Let's go.

Hey guys, welcome to the show. Morning, studio. Morning. Here we are. Man, so much to catch up on. I'll start with Charlie Pride passing away. Charlie Pride, whose accolades include a country music hall of fame, Grand Ole Opry.

I passed away on Saturday, which was December 12th from complications of COVID. He was 86 years old. Charlie's considered country music's first African-American superstar. He scored 29 number one hits between 1969 and 1983. I'll play some of the songs that you may know. Probably y'all know Kiss an Angel Good Morning. Here you go. You've got to kiss an angel good morning.

And let her know you think about her when you're gone. Kiss an angel good morning. And love her like the devil when you get back home. Here is, is anybody going to San Antonio? And I'll talk a little more at length about him later on in the show, but wanted to start the show off by mentioning that. Rest in peace, Charlie Pride, Charlie Frank Pride was born in Sledge. was born in Sledge, Mississippi on March 18th, 1934. And I'll talk about it later, but, you know, growing up, old, old, old country music was current country music to me because my grandmother raised me.

And so I was listening to Charlie probably thinking it was kind of new music at the time. But so much so, I have a decent amount of knowledge on Charlie. Having never met him, by the way, but I took part in his documentary on PBS and they had me go and talk about it for a long time. So, but I'll share some thoughts with you about that later, but a lot of people, Dolly, was just so upset about it. Like a lot of really famous country legends were really good friends with him. And the current was that he was such a nice guy. I didn't know Charlie Pride as a person, was just a fan of him, you know, when I was a young, young, young kid. But rest in peace, Charlie Pride, 86 years old.

So that happened. Definitely wanted to start the show mentioning that. On the flip side of things, our executive producer, Scoobah Steve, had a baby. Where is Scoop Steve? Right over here. How's that baby? She is beautiful, but has given me, I would think, maybe two hours of sleep in the last four days. You sound like it.

Yeah, man, I am drained, but I'm full of love, but man, am I drained? How was the labor delivery, all that? Okay. That was great. She was planning for C-section. We had that with our first child, but we were really trying to do a V-back, which basically, for those don't know, is natural birth after C-section. and everyone in the office, the medical dog, sorry, I am just, I'm burnt. Everyone at the hospital.

At the office. Everyone at the hospital. So I have a feeling Scoob's he was producing his show at the hospital thinking he was still, okay, go ahead, Scooba. Yeah, sorry, yeah. So she really wanted the V-back and she, long story short, she got it. After almost 24 hours of labor of me and her being up, pushing and breathing and everything, she had the baby naturally.

That's awesome. Yeah, so is really cool. Congratulations. Scuba sent me a picture of him holding the baby and Scuba didn't have a shirt on but it looked like scuba had a wool coat on all at the same time. Like if we had a contest on this show,

the show is hairiest man. He wins. I don't know. My D. Oh, wow, that's true. Like, we have some real life Harry and the Henderson type. Yeah.

A lot of testosterone. Have you always been really hairy? I used to shave up until about two years ago when I had my first son And then I didn't get any sleep then as well. And then the hair was pricking his soft skin. So then I grew out all my hair just to make it easier on him and easier on me. You would shave your whole body?

I've shaved the whole body head to toe. Now, is it funny to you? I should say, ironic to you. And I mean this in a loving way that you have lost a hair on your head, but everywhere else is growing like crazy. It is very ironic. But, yeah, I don't know what to say to it. But, uh, well, congratulations on baby number two.

Thank you. I appreciate it, man. like a scuba, Steve. Exhausted, but here. Yeah. Impressive. Yeah. Also, the vaccine is in motion, landing places.

We're rolling, baby. I got mine yesterday. You did? He's joking. Can you imagine if I come in bragging about getting the vaccine before our healthcare workers doing our old people? They're like doctors over there. Be like, I forgot mine.

Bobby got his. Oh, can you imagine what kind of crap we'd go through if I came on here going, yeah, man, I just knew the right person. Oh, but yeah, we're rolling in the right direction. That's pretty cool. And I'll say this too as we start the show. Very excited to be on Pure Country 89 in Windsor, also heard in Detroit. So really excited to wake you guys up in the morning. I have a feeling you're going to like the show, but I also have a feeling it's going to be a slightly slow burn. You're not going to quite get it because we don't have good radio voices. We're not the best radio show. But I think much like your friends,

that it took a minute for you to become close friends with them. Hopefully we're going to be that group of people to you. Because you listen for the first time ever right now, you're going, what's happening? Who are these people that don't sound like this should be on the radio talking over each other? But welcome to the family. Welcome to the team.

That's it. Amy, anything you want to say to our new listeners? Oh, yeah. I mean, just be patient with us. This is a good time of your, you know, things are maybe slowing down for you, hopefully, so you have plenty of time to get to know us. That's right.

it's all about good news here we go number five a bunch of people in New Hampshire recently held a parade for a seven-year-old kid's birthday so his mom paid it forward by going to the grocery store and just buying six hundred dollars in groceries for random people See, you have two things happening here. A bunch of people said, well, this kid can't have a real party, so let's just all drive down the street and make him feel special.

And then the mom said, I see you, and everybody else, who needs help, I got you? Loved that story. Number four. A hospital patient with swastika tattoos all over his body recently showed up at a hospital in Sacramento in serious condition. And here's why medical professional is so amazing. His doctor's Jewish. His nurse is black.

His respiratory therapist is Asian. and they're doing everything they can to save his life. Thought that story was fantastic and needed to be shared. Number three. A group of teens broke a water line at a restaurant of Miami because they were angry at the owner for telling them to wear masks. Dummies. But here's the good part.

They went back the next day to apologize face to face and pay for the damages. Reform dummies. Here's a clip of one of the owners talking about giving them a second chance. Some younger folks that made a grave error in judgment when they were not allowed entry, they got upset. They've analyzed probably by breaking a water line out front, shooting water on the Biscayne Boulevard, temporarily shutting the restaurant down.

We've all made mistakes, and it's not how you make mistakes. It's how you recover from them and how you fix them moving forward. Number two. Back in October, a law student in Chicago made headlines after she gave birth in the middle of her online bar exam and still finished the test. Now she's posted an update to let people know that that test was really hard, and she did have a baby.

but she's still passed. That's what I'm talking about. And finally, here we go. Number one. The story of Buddy the Elf, meeting his biological father, comes to life. Doug Henning wore a costume

to look like Will Ferrell in the movie Elf while meeting his father for the very first time. He even broke into the same awkward song from the 2003 movie and here is their reunion. And that's all real.

Same story is I mean, he wasn't an elf in the North Pole, but other than that, all the same story. That was the Good News Countdown. We'll talk to Blake Shelton next. He is in our Marathon virtual green room. I got to ask him, is this his last season of the voice? I got to ask him how the proposal with Gwen went down. We love Blake Shelton.

He is next on the Bobby Bone Show. Coming from the Bass Pro Shops and Cabella Studio on Music Row, we are the Bobby Bone Show. That's right. On the phone right now is Blake Shelton. Blake, what's up? How you doing, buddy? Hey, good. You're in the house.

I see. I can actually see you. I don't know if you can see me. But are you at home right now? I did see you. I'll tell you what blew me away was you're yawning. Like, you just woke up. Don't you do a morning show every morning?

I do, but I'm going to tell you the days, and I'm going to get into this question about you, the days are extremely long right now doing the morning show on a couple of TV shows, too. But which I'm going to ask you because the voice, the finale, part one is tonight. Tell me about a taping day over at the voice for you. How long are those days whenever you're sitting and let's talk about the beginning of the season when people are coming in and you have to turn the chairs. What are those days like? There's really at that point not a lot on the line.

And so you can say any stupid thing you want to or argue with the other coaches. You know, once you get people on your team and you start working with them, that's when I feel, or when I feel, you know, responsible for them and, you know, a little more considerate than I do whenever I'm just trying to. make up crap or whatever I've got to do to get them to choose me as their coach. Are there nerves for you when you go into a finale like tonight? Absolutely, because, you know, these not only nerves for the artist that you have left, but there's also, you know, there's a bad feeling for all the ones that have gone home,

and that's part of the game, and, you know, not everybody can make it, but, you know, when you get there, you think, man, all these people that, you know, you've worked with right up until this point, they're at home watching, and so it really does come down to who, you know, sometimes I'll have multiple people in the finale and sometimes just won and it just depends on, you know, the season and how it's going. But, you know, of course I have nerves for them, not really for me.

Tonight is the first part, then tomorrow night, the second part, the final part of the voice there. So you guys, be sure to check that out. You know, I was thinking about you the other day when Michael B. Jordan was named Sexiest Man Alive and you hit that a few years ago. And I'm sure it was different for both of you, but how weird is that to be declared the sexiest person alive on such a public platform, meaning everybody that disagrees with it is going to come screaming at you immediately? Well, they definitely come screaming. I still hear people complaining about me being named sexiest man alive years ago, you know.

But what's concerning to me is that any grown human being that spends more than five minutes of their life concerned with or worried about who People magazine names Sexiest Man Alive, that's what's concerning to me, is these people that are consumed with this magazine that comes out like it's the results of an election or something that they're going to have to somehow affect their daily life. to me it was just a fun deal and none of us took it very serious even you know the people people magazine were the first to say they didn't take it that serious that year that's why they even put me on the cover was you know it was kind of a blow-off thing and and they felt like the nation needed a little comic relief at that point and and hopefully everybody kind of need some of that. Just a reminder, tonight is the first part of the finale, tonight and tomorrow night of the voice. By the way, congratulations on your engagement. Were you nervous? Did you have it planned what you were going to say? The only thing that I had planned, Bobby, was that I

knew that I wanted to do it in Oklahoma while all her kids were there and her brother and his family and my sister and her family. I wanted to do it because we have like a group that we get together, like Fourth of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving. It's kind of turned into this core group of, you know, Gwen and I and the family and then are those two parts of our extended family. And so I wanted, and it's been that way for years. So I wanted everybody to be there in the moment.

I didn't want to take her away, you know, or do something private away from the kids. I thought like it was important for, the kids to be a part of that moment. And so that's what I did. I had the ring for a couple of weeks, maybe two and a half weeks. And to be honestly, and this is scary, the scariest thing was I had that ring in the compartment on the door of my truck for about a week.

And I don't know about you, but stuff falls out of that damn thing on my truck all the time. I'm digging in there looking for a flashlight or change. And I kept thinking, man, Somebody's going to hit the jackpot whenever I dropped this thing out of my truck. But luckily, because I wanted to keep it in there all the time, because I didn't know when I would have the exact right moment. But thank God I didn't lose the ring. How did you go about getting her right ring size?

Well, she has a very specific jeweler here in Los Angeles that she loves and that she has been her go-to place for years, I guess. And so I was able to get that contact information. And be honest, though, the ring ended up being a little bit big, so she's had to go back and get it, you know, fitted a little bit. I wanted it to be, I would rather it have been big than too small to even get on her finger. Christmas is almost here, and now you have late produced another Christmas movie. How in the world did you get into producing Christmas movies to begin with?

Is it three now that you've done? Which is a stretch, by the way. like at this point, you know, it's like, hey, we've done everything. We just sign off on it and approve it. But I do try to have, you know, a thumbprint on them. And, you know, because the movies, the original movie was based on a book that my mom wrote, which was based on a song that my mom and I wrote for my Christmas album. And so that's kind of how this whole thing kind of got spun out and happened.

And I think, you know, the movies have done well for, for, for, Mark Channel, just that little short franchise thing we have going on. And, you know, it's so easy to get sucked into those Hallmark movies. I fall for it every year. You know, Christmas is like official when they start showing these movies. And every night of the week, you feel like you could, you know, celebrate Christmas that night because of those freaking movies and they have the greatest happy endings that you hope they do.

So I know that's not really answering your question. But I try to have as much as input as I can. you know, they don't want a lot of deer hunting in their hallmark Christmas movies. And to me, that's, you know, Christmas, but they don't like that. As we get closer to the end of this interview, I've got a couple of voice questions to ask you. Number one is the big one. Could this season be your last? No, it's not going to be.

We've already, believe it or not, we've, we had filmed the blind auditions for next season already back in October. So you're stuck with me at least for next year's voice. And who has the bigger trailer right now, you or Gwen, or do you share a trailer? I tell you, we're out of the trailer business is gone now at Universal because of, you know, the COVID. So we're all in a studio that's got these little, like, very half-sized little dressing rooms that they've put us in this hallway that's like this confined area that's almost like going into an ICU or something. I mean, they're not playing over there about it. So all the glamorous fun parts of the voice in Hollywood that it was like when I first came here, that's long gone. We are dying to get out to our seats on the show so we actually have some space.

All right, you guys watch the voice tonight, and then tomorrow night is the second half of the finale. Blake, good to talk to you. Always good to talk to you. Hope a holiday's great. You too, buddy. I love you, Bobby. I know you're not going to say it back, but I love you. You're the best. All right, there he is.

but for Melody Ormond, it looked a little different because of one of the classmates who graduated alongside her, and that will be her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Orman. They both went to University of Tennessee, at Chattanooga. They graduated together. I love these stories. Pat said she went to college before,

but only had a few credits under her belt. In 2017, she was retired and she was bored. And that's when her granddaughter said, why don't you enroll in school? Smash cut. The 75 year old is graduating college with her granddaughter. Yes. So awesome. And she was an anthropology major. Congratulations. Just think that's an awesome story. And that is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good Come on Bobby I think this will make you laugh There's a teacher doing an online class

And she did a fake fart To make the kids laugh All the kids are like in second and third grade So here you go Her name is Emma She's a teacher doing one of her Zoom classes You'll hear the sound effect And try not to laugh at this

Because yes it is juvenile But try not to laugh at this Here you go Most of us are here So if you want to pull out your journey's book What was that? What was that? I think she was.

I don't know who that was. One of the kids goes, it was huge. Did you hear that? It was huge. I saw everybody laughing pretty hard and Amy only cracking a smile. Oh, I was laughing. Okay. I was laughing.

In fact, one of the kids laughing sounds exactly like how my son laughs when he has a big belly laugh. She thinks farts are hilarious, too. Are your kids getting so tired of learning on? Zoom? Are they still getting taught there? Well, they've done both, but no, they're back. They're back at school. Oh, they both are? Yeah, and this is their last week. And no, my daughter would never get tired of it. If she didn't have to step foot in a school building ever again, her life would be made.

I feel her there. If I never had to leave my house, I think I'd be okay. I was going to ask you about your dog, too. You set your dog to a dog whisper? Yeah, you arrange it over the phone, though. She just looks at a picture, and then she talks to your dog, and then she tells you what the dog is saying. while you're on the phone. So she just looks at a picture of your dog and then knows what your dog is feeling? Yeah, so my friend set it up, sent her a picture. Hold on, how much of this cost?

Well, my friend set it up, so I... Did you pay for it? Was it over a dollar? Because if so... Yeah, it was over a dollar, and I did pay for it. Do you want me to show you? You're going to show me, hold it up. Here you go.

Hold on. It is. Hold on. Here, here, here. $80? Why don't write it down? Why don't write it down if you're just going to say it? Because that's ridiculous.

It is ridiculous. Our listeners needed to know how ridiculous this is. Listen, I know. But listen, this is my friend's friend. And our dog has been barking and going crazy a lot. And she never has done that before. So listen, desperate times. Call for desperate measures, which may mean that I would like to hear what someone that

claims they can talk to animals is saying that my dog is saying. Okay, so what is happening with your dog, according to this $80 an hour whisper? My dog's name is Kara, but that's the name we gave her after we rescued her. We rescued her from someone from a different family that had her. So the lady said, well, first of all, your dog isn't going to talk to me unless I call her Molly. She's telling me that. She goes, I have no idea what that means, but she's saying, I'll talk to you, but you need to call me Molly. She's like, do you know why that would be?

Wait, why? Is your dog's original name Molly? Well, we were told through the people that rescued her that it was Melly, but I don't know. Did someone get mixed up and it's Molly? I know. Come on. I know. Who would have told this dog whisperer that?

Nobody knows. So, yeah, that part was really intriguing to me. Are you telling me that you believe that there is something to this $80 an hour dog whisper? I don't know what to believe. I don't believe it, but yet it is pretty crazy. So now I look at my dog and say, hey Molly. What's you doing? She's now minding perfectly.

She just, hey. Hey, Molly. So I didn't know if you want to arrange for her to read Stanley or what. You know, I feel like I need to do this for the show. Okay. I should have told you. Let's set it up. You pay for it and I'll do it.

I'll pay for it. Nice. Merry Christmas to me and to all a good night. Bobby Bone Show. Coming from the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela Studio on Music Row, it's the Bobby Bone Show. Today's December 14th. Amy, are you fully in Christmas spirit yet? Yeah, I think so.

Okay. This happens at Christmas. Okay. All right. Thank you guys for hanging out. Let's play this. I reposted this on my Twitter a couple days ago. There's this guy on the wing of an Alaskan Airlines airplane. And he's trying to climb up on the... And you know how a wing goes out and then bends upward at the end? Yes.

So the wing is out and then it curves up. And he's trying to climb to the very top of... And it's in the middle of the day. It's 1.30 p.m. So here you go. The cops have now arrived. this is them watching him try to climb up and at the end he just falls off hard

here you go that's when he fell the cops are slowly moving in on foot and then there are like two or three that have walked through the airplane got on the wing and are walking out toward him so he's trying to climb to the very tip tip tip and boom right on his face

and the cops just pounce him Alaska Airlines released this statement around 2 p.m. Alaska Airlines flight 30 excuse me 1367 from Las Vegas to Portland was preparing for a takeoff when the pilot noticed an individual advancing towards the aircraft.

The pilots notified the tower. Law enforcement was dispatched and able to apprehend the individual. Our guests and employees are safe. We're working with law enforcement. The plane has returned to the gate for a full inspection. How does that even happen?

I don't know how he gets out there. It's crazy. Crazy. Coming up, Amy's pile of stories. Amy, what's on the way? We got a big time country superstar that's selling their house. I'll tell you details.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So a couple in Texas, they've gone viral because they've been married for 41 years. And all these years, the wife started a

tradition where she takes a bite out of the sandwich that she makes for her husband to take to work so that it's like she's eating lunch with him. I mean, that sounds cute on the surface, but I bet the wife just wants a bite of the sandwich and has made that the narrative. No, no, it's a deeper meaning for them. Like, I think it's super sweet and special. And a lot of people, obviously, online are hashtagging couples' goals. That's fun.

Caitlin takes the first bite of everything that we have. If she makes it, she has the first bite. Not because she wants to eat with me. just because she wants to taste it to see if she wants more. And then if she doesn't, she's only had one bite. No. That's not going to make couples goals, I assure you. All right, what else?

Well, there's a politically correct Santa out there that is not even going to give kids a Nerf gun if they ask for it. We got a clip of a kid asking Santa for one. No, no guns. Nerf guns. No, not even a Nerf gun. Your dad wants to get it for you, that's fine, but I can't bring it to you. So what else would you like?

I think the Santa said the right thing. your dad wants to get it for you have at it. He isn't a total hater of guns, but Santa probably just has a no gun for any reason standard with the kids. I guess so. I just didn't know Santa was anti-Nerf guns. Well, here's the clip that I have of a four-year-old asking for a Glock. Here you go.

There's no clue. Santa's like, no problem. He's like, hey. Oh, gosh. Santa in Arkansas says you can have a 30-odd-6, 3-year-old. No problem. All right, what else they mean? So Hillary Scott from Lady A is selling her Nashville area mansion.

At least that's what the article called it. And they have reduced the price. So if you're looking to buy a home, it's now $2.65 million. From what? I don't know what they went down from. I know that they bought it for like 1.95 back in 2012. So they must have done some major renovations or I guess just inflation. It went up.

But it's got like six bedrooms, five and a half baths. That's 7,000 square feet. Oh, actually, almost 8,000. So I did the math on it in case you want to know what your monthly payments would be. Yeah, please. Okay, so if you want to put 20% down, that would be $530,000. And then every month you'd pay about $12,000 for your mortgage. Okay.

Let me check my wallet. You need some cash funds? I'm a little short for this house payment. Well, good luck. I hate they had to go down. Yeah. That always stinks, regardless if your house is $1 or a trillion dollars. Okay, where is that house?

It's probably not in Nashville, though, is it? They're saying near Nashville, so probably Brentwood area, and then they've already moved into their other new house, so the house is empty. So if you plan on booking a showing, you will not be able to rummage through their things or see if they're there. Yeah, that's always a creepy part.

When I was looking at houses and people would still be living there. Yeah. I for sure looked at the pictures. I for sure wanted to know how happy their life was in that house. Yeah. And if there were pictures, they didn't look so happy, I'd be like this house is not for me. But you didn't go through their drawers.

Who does that? No one does it. No way. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So there's a really cool story about a police officer in Arizona.

His name is Brian Zach. And his wife, Sierra, just adopted a little girl that he met on the job, on the line of duty, or in the line of duty. He got a call to show up to a head. house because there was some abuse going on. He was there to comfort the little girl, child protective services, removed her from the home. He went home to his wife and was like, you know what, I just felt a connection with this little girl. I want her to come live with us. And because child protective services wasn't able to place her immediately, they took him up on the offer. And he went to, the little girl went to live with them, lived with them for 30 months. And this year, she finally became their adopted daughter.

Wow. What a great story. I know. Because you know, police officers or anybody that's a first responder, they see a lot of things and I'm sure it's hard for them to not wonder what happens with the kids or to not feel a bond or a connection, but he felt it. He went home and talked to his wife and he went for it. So I love this story. That's amazing. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Here we go. Come on, Bobby. This is from Billboard, the top five country songs of the year. Most Played Country Songs. Number five, die from a broken.

heart from Maddie and Tay. I'm going to ask you guys what you think the number one song is, the most played song in just a second. At number four, Travis Denning, after a few. But after a few drinks, it's always the same thing. Station at the ball. Then after... What do you think the most played song is, Eddie?

I'm going to go whiskey glasses. Amy? Holly, what is Blake and Gwyn's? Not their current one, but they're the one that my son was obsessed with. Nobody but you? That's it. Okay. Whiskey glasses, nobody but you.

Okay. Number three, Kenfolks from Sam Hunt. I want to introduce you to my kinfolks to my own friends. Number two, nobody but you, Blake and Gwen. That's so close, baby. And Eddie has Morgan Wallen whiskey glasses at number one. Come on, Boone. At number one, Morgan Wallin chasing you.

Oh! There you go. That's the biggest country songs right now. Let's go over to Amy and get the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny. What do you call a kid who doesn't believe in Santa? What do you call a kid who doesn't believe in Santa? A rebel without a clause.

Okay. That was the Morning Corny. Lunchbox, did you ever watch my octopus teacher? You lost the bet, but you had to watch it. Yes, I sat down and I. I pulled it up on Netflix and I read the description. I said, and this is what Bobby says is good. And I watched this guy go dive in and watch him talk to an octopus.

I got to say, it's one of the most fascinating things I've ever watched on TV. It was like Game 7 of the World Series. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen between this guy and an octopus. And it was just so fascinating. It was such a simple thing. but it was so captivating. Bobby, I want to say thank you for not drawing my name out of the hat

because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't believe how much I liked watching a guy and an octopus and a camera. Unbelievable. There's a documentary on Netflix called My Octopus Teacher and I talked about it and everybody made fun of me so Lunchbox lost a bet and had to watch it. But loved it.

I'm telling you guys, I'm not going to force anybody else to watch it, But it's, it's just crazy at how smart these octopuses are. So if you're looking for something to watch on Netflix and you feel like something naturey, kind of, check out my octopus teacher. I think you'll love it. I think it's fantastic. Bobby Bowman. Coming from the Bass Pro Shops and Cabella Studio on Music Row is the Bobby Bone show. Last week, I mentioned that God whispered your name by Keith Urban was my favorite song from 2020.

So Keith texted me and was like, hey, thanks. for putting the song in number one. I appreciate that. And I was like, yeah, man. And like an hour later, he hits me with this. He goes, hey, I'm going to post this. You cool with it? And he sends this video to me right here.

Making this new favorite 2020 songs. Thank you so much, Bobby. Everybody did Bobby Bond show. Wish you Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year. Viva La Vaccine. Whisper Joe. He's in front of his Christmas tree playing that. And I was like, yeah, of course you post that.

Why are you asking me for me? to post that. That's awesome. Isn't that cool? That's so cool. Makes me want to learn how to play banjo just so I can talk over it though. All right, coming up, Lunchbox versus the ladies and NFL trivia, the last one of the year.

Only a few more, possibly, for the entire game and we retire the game. But we're looking for a female, a lady, to beat Lunchbox because he claims no woman can beat him. So that's next. Dear God, grant me the wish to have someone come on and beat him today. That'd be amazing.

Next, Bobby Bone Show. The Bobby Bone Show. Lunchbox is now 11 and O. He's only five wins away from reaching his goal of 16.0. We want someone to beat him so bad. It's Lunchbox versus the ladies in NFL trivia. Give me the abbreviated version, Lunchbox, of what this game's about. Women aren't smart enough to beat me in football trivia, period.

End of sentence. We disagree. We think we have one this week that can beat him. He's only five wins away. Let's bring on Chris from Ohio. Chris, how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm really good.

Thank you so much for taking part in our little game where we try to beat Lunchbox. Why do you feel your football knowledge is strong? Well, I have an avid football family. I come from a pretty large family. I have five older brothers and five older sisters. So, you know, we used to play, what is that game? Football.

Oh. You buy sports. No, football. You don't. I don't. We're going to play the game, no. Lunchbox, anything you want to say? I mean, she sounds, I mean, we used to play that game where they hike it and toss it around. I mean, she didn't even know what the game is called. It's called football. Are you predicting victory?

Yes, I'm predicting victory. I'm a slaughter. Okay. This girl ain't going to get my three right. Lunchbox is leaving the room. Oh. What is your name, John? Her name is Chris. My man.

John. Chris is going to answer seven questions. Lunchbox will come in. after being in the isolation booth and answer the same seven questions. Chris, we're counting on you. Come on, Chris. We'd love for you to beat him, okay? I know.

I know. I found like an idiot, though. That's okay. So do I. All right. You have seven questions? Chris, are you ready? I guess.

Did you coach him to not look at me? How do you think she did? I don't know, because Eddie won't look at me, and he's really trying hard not to look at me. So I think he's playing possum again. Like, he knows that I was onto his signs, so now he's like, oh, don't look at him, don't look at him, don't look at him. All right, here we go.

Question number one, lunchbox. Yeah, yeah. What NFL quarterback is associate? with the butt fumble from 2012. Oh, any thinks this guy's good looking. He says it all the time. I say it all the time. You do.

I'm going to read them too. you, unless you already know the answer, but what celebrity deaths kind of shook you up the most this year? Kenny Rogers, Charlie Daniels, Joe Diffy, Jerry Jeff Walker, John Prine, Eddie Van Halen, Little Richard, Bill Withers, Kobe Bryant, Kobe and his daughter. Wow. Alex Trebek, Chadwick

Bozeman, Regis, Jerry Stiller, Sean Connery, Naya Rivera, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and John Lewis. Dang. All this year. Amy, which one to you shook you up the most? I mean, for me, it's different because Jerry Jeff Walker was one of my best friend's dad, so that one shook me the most. But for people that I don't know, probably Kobe Bryant and his daughter, that was crazy. It took me a long time to really process that it happened.

Yeah, because he is a super, super star that was not old. You know, it was just a tragic fluke incident that made that happen. For me, it was Joe Diffy because I had just started, by the way, was a huge fan of Joe Diffy all my life growing up, you know,

and growing up in the 90s, listen to the country music in a small town in Arkansas. Like for me, it was all country music and alternative music. And Joe Diffy was such a big part of that. I knew every song, the first time he came in, I geeked out. We then started to become buds. We'd play the grand old opera together. You know, he would talk about how he was a fan of the show.

His daughter was a fan of the show. He came over to the house. He got COVID. And it was like, boom, Joe Diffy's, passed away. I couldn't believe it. So mine would be Joe Diffy. Eddie, you? Eddie Van Halen for me, because growing up, my brother just loved Eddie Van Halen. It was his favorite artist. So to me, that was kind of an introduction to music. You know, my brother was always showing me Eddie Van Halen this, Eddie Van Halen that. So to me, when he passed away and he wasn't

very old and he's a music legend, to me, that was really surprising and oddly kind of tough. Ramundo, what about you? Yeah, we didn't really get any updates on Alex Trebek. It almost seemed like he was going to pull through at least for another five years. He did have stage four, which is pretty serious. But then out of nowhere, we just wake up one morning and learn he died. I didn't know that he was getting that terribly bad because we see all these recordings on TV of him doing the show. We've watched Jeopardy three of the last four nights here.

I'm staying at an Airbnb in California right now, just so you guys kind of know what's going on. And so there's nothing to do with California. I don't live here. And we're out here shooting American Idol for this upcoming season. And we're shooting my upcoming Nat Geo show. And so we're trying to get it all done at the same time. But the whole state is shut down, basically. So after we're done, we just go home and sit in the house and try to watch something on TV.

And so we watch Jeopardy every night. We play hues and cues every night, which is a really fun board game. But here's the problem for me is there are certain colors that I just can't see. But do you get advantage for that or a disadvantage? How does that work for you? I've only not finished last once. So it's a lot of fun for me. And when anything is even slightly purple,

slightly purple on my card, I just go, grape. And then everyone's just guessing through all the purples. Right. Because I can't see purple very well. Anything that gets super dark, like the dark reds or dark greens are all pretty similar. But if you're not colorblind,

heck, I still have fun. We play every night. Hughes and Q's is such a fun game to play. So especially if you're together with a bunch of friends, but we're like, okay, what do we do? Well, we watch Jeopardy. Okay, get out Hughes and Q's. And then it's like, all right, time to go to bed.

And I'm having to go to bed in a room that doesn't have a TV in the room, which makes me so anxious. I need a TV to sleep. So that's kind of where we are. But I'm coming back home tomorrow night. We've been gone for two weeks, just miserable as far as like not being at home. And there's just nothing to do. Poor Mike D. who's out here with me producing the radio show, just does the radio show and then just sits in the house all day and all night. There's just nothing to do.

They've been out here for two weeks doing nothing. He's doing podcasts. He has a podcast called Movie Mike's Movie Podcast. You have some Disney kids on Mike, or I guess they used to be Disney kids. Yeah, Christy Carlson Romano. So he has an episode about Disney Channel original movies where he talks to Christy Carlson Romano, who was in Cadet Kelly with Hillary Duff, Kim Possible, even Stevens. So I don't know who that is, but a lot of people will, Mike, you're telling me. It will, yes. Okay. But check out Movie Mike's movie podcast.

It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. There's a little restaurant in the town of Snow Homish, Washington, called the Maltby Cafe. Well, they've been in town for 36 years as a restaurant, but recently the pandemic has really hurt the business, and they've seen a 90% drop in business. And they're like, oh, gosh, this is it. So the owner said that they had to make the decision to shut down. She said she got in her knees and said, God, I need a.

miracle and the town responded. The town started a fundraiser. There was a go-fund me going around. They raised $110,000 and that number is still continuing to rise. So it looks like they're still going to be in business. Good for that town, too. Yeah. How does she, if she prayed, who heard her pray and was it out loud?

Okay. And you didn't know these details. I thought about this. I feel like she prayed God then sent it to everyone in the town and they say, hey, let's do something. And then they responded. No, somehow it had to get out to people to create a GoFundMe. Oh, okay.

Well, maybe once her prayer started to get answered, she said, I, wow, this is an answer to my prayer. I was on my knees asking God for help and my prayer has been answered. Okay, guys, look, look, I know the real story. There's a guy named Jim Barger. Nice. I knew something was that. Jim started the GoFundMe.

I wanted to keep it generic, but all right, Jim did it. Oh, okay. What's old Jim up to? How do you know? You know, Jim is a friend of the owner, and he said, guys, We need help, and he reached out to a bunch of people. And he had a little Facebook page, so he had help from Facebook, too. And God, guys.

Yeah, never underestimate the power of prayer. Or Jim. Yeah, and Jim Barker. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. All right, thank you very much. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Come on, Bobby.

Hey, friends, thanks for hanging out. Let me also say thanks to everybody listening on our new station, Pure Country 89, and Windsor, Canada. also you're listening in Detroit possibly is very thankful that you guys have put us on day one and are giving us a chance. It is definitely an odd show because we are not that good at radio.

We think we're good at being people and real friends that you can listen to, relate to, but we're not good at radio. So let us say that from the beginning. That being said, let's do some radio. Let's do the news. Bobby's Big.

Story. I got to start with Charlie Pride. And we did talk about it earlier in the show. But I'll say this, for me, before I get into talking about Charlie Pride and some of the things that made him just a fantastic artist in person, you know, for me, one of my greatest honors was being asked to speak about Charlie, or as I would call him, Mr. Pride, in a PBS documentary on his life. You know, I grew up, my grandmother was a fan, which made me a fan because my grandmother raised me. And so, you know, the fact that Charlie Pride's early music was sent off without a picture of him because they wanted stations to not, not play it because he was a black guy,

tells you everything you need to know about what he went through, especially at first. But Charlie Pride passed away over the weekend. He was in the country music Hall of Fame. He is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. Member of the Grand Ole Opry, he died on Saturday from complications of COVID-19. He was 86 years old. He is considered country music's first African-American superstar. 29 number one hits between 69 and 83.

Think about that. In the 60s, all through the 70s, and then all through the 8, number ones, not just existing, but number ones for that long. Chartered 67 songs, won the CMA, Entertainer of the Year award, the absolute biggest award you can win in 1971. For sure, you know Kissing Angel Good Morning. You've got to kiss an angel good morning. You think about her when you're gone. Here is Just Between You and Me from Charlie Pride. Some of Charlie's background.

Charlie Frank Pride was born to sharecroppers in Sledge, Mississippi, March 18th, 1934. You know, one of the stories that I told was about him going to school. Because he walked four or five miles to and from a segregated grade school, and he had to walk while white kids passed him that were taking the school bus. Tell me that isn't sad, crazy. The father wasn't really big into blues music. So Charlie Pride grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry, and it was people like Roy Acuff, Ernest Hub. And so that is really what inspired his music. He bought a guitar for money that he earned picking cotton.

He quit school. By the way, think about Charlie Pride, that is nuts. He was such a good pitcher. He played professional baseball in the Negro American League and emerged as a star pitcher.

He got in the Army. He served two years. He married his wife. He, after the Army, went back and played baseball again. After he finished baseball, he moved, I believe it was Montana, Montana or North Dakota.

I believe it was Montana. And a couple guys heard him singing. And they said, hey, you should go to Nashville. So he did. And there you go. But by the way, just crushed at music, at sports, at business, people that you talk to in the country music world, especially folks that were a couple generations before us, just talk about what a good guy he was. And that's not something that you just volunteer without meaning it when someone dies. You can always tell when someone dies by what people are saying and by what they're not saying.

Just last month, pride, a three-time Grammy winner was honored by the CMAs with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. So that would be his final performance. Him and Jimmy Allen saying Kiss an Angel, good morning. Rest and peace to Charlie Pride, 86 years old. Crazy. Let's do another new story. Bobby's other story. On the good news side of things, the largest vaccine effort in U.S. history is now underway.

Numerous rounds of applause broke out early Sunday as the first trucks were loaded with Pfizer's coronavirus shot. And again, they're starting the biggest vaccination effort in American history. Dozens of workers at a plant in Michigan clapped and whistled as the first boxes were moved toward waiting FedEx trucks. And then again, as it hit the road. You know, when I was watching Plainsland in different cities with the vaccine, I think I saw one in Louisville yesterday. So, as of today, there should be 145 distribution centers that have the first round of the vaccine. So we're moving. We're moving in a positive direction

after so many days, weeks, months of just sitting here going, all right, let's go, let's go. All right, give me another one, Raymundo. Bobby's other story. On a lighter note, six-year-old George Johnson secretly racked up more than $16,000 in charges in the Apple App Store for playing his favorite video game. Oh my gosh.

Sonic Forces. $16,000. Wow. While working from home during the pandemic, the real estate broker mom, Jessica Johnson, 41, did not realize that the younger of her two sons had gone on a shopping spree on her iPad. Over the month of July, George bought add-on boosters, starting with $1.99 red rings, and moving up to $99,99 gold rings that allowed him to access new characters, more speed, and then he started spending hundreds of bucks at a time.

That's crazy. Who is... Who, what adult or right-minded person would spend that much money anyways? Well, Amy, let me just say something in a high-pitched voice because I'm a little guilty of that. You have bought gold status on a game? On NBA 2K, I needed some cool clothes because everybody at the hard courts were looking way cooler than I was. And you don't get to get in games unless you look good, basically, and have a good rating. Well, I love that that's sending a really great message to people.

What in the world? He did look good, though. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. I had a John Stockton jersey. I think that cost me quite a bit of VC. That's virtual currency for those of you that don't know.

I start to feel bad for the six-year-old kid. I'm like, I get it, George Johnson. On July 9th, the day when Jessica's mom was working in the next room, there were 25 charges totaling over $2,500. Still clueless that it was George who was doing it, she filed a fraud claim in July when her bill reached 16,2,29. It wasn't until October she was told by Chase Bank that the charges were indeed hers and she needed to contact Apple, not them. She then realized it was George once she reached out to Apple and was walked through a buried running list of all the charges. She's now scrambling to pay off his debt. Quote, I didn't get a paycheck from March to September, said the mom.

My income has just decreased by 80% this year. So I'm surprised that they wouldn't give that back. Yeah, they should get that recent, they should wipe it clean. Because it is virtual currency, right? Can't you just wipe out the fake money and the fake game? Like, just wipe it all out. But everybody just start claiming, though, that their kids did it. But it's happened to me.

So I'm sure they get thousands and thousands of claims. Yeah, that's true. I'm surprised they didn't wipe it out. It's hard for me, though, to say just to wipe it out. But I'm surprised they didn't. Because, again, I just know all the people that would take advantage of that. here. Adults would be like, nope,

six-year-old cousin Willie. He did it. Wink, wink, wink. So she says, check your security settings. I'm appalled. This is even possible in these games

and that Apple devices are not pre-set to prevent this. This has got to work in her favor. Someone's going to step in and help her or they're going to wipe it away.

Once it makes the news, right? Oh, I hope so. Don't we think so? Yeah. All right. That story stinks. That's a bad one, too. Dang.

No. The Charlie Pride Everyone stunk, but we got to celebrate his life a little bit through Word. The COVID vaccine story was good. That is a good story. Yeah. And then that story did kind of stink. But maybe some listeners can learn from it, you know?

For sure. Bobby Bones Show. Boneyhead. This story comes to us from Tennessee. A manager at a local Wendy's was arrested in charge with simple assault after he bent an employee on the shoulder because she wasn't working the fries fast enough. The employee was standing in front of the friar. he was like, you're not going fast enough.

Bitter on the shoulder. What an odd reaction for punishment to bite someone. You're not a dog. Even then my dog shouldn't be biting me. Yeah, that's weird. And that's the manager, you say? Yeah, that was the manager biting a regular employee. Wow.

Okay, but he shouldn't be the manager much longer. Maybe he read that in one of those seminars that they go to, like discipline actions. No, I think he hasn't gone to the seminars. That's what it is. Like a Tony Robbins type thing? Right, right. Like if you really want to inspire. Okay.

There you go. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

And they may be going like two miles an hour under the speed limit. The question is, should we pass them or just keep behind even if we're going under the speed limit? As long as I'm going the speed limit, I don't have a problem passing them. What if you have to go like two miles an hour over? Well, then no, I'm not going to. I just said as long as I can go to the speed limit, because what if they're going way under? I guess I'd be really nervous the whole time I did it, though. I'd be like, I'm such a rebel right now.

Eddie? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love this question. You know what I do? I put it on cruise control right to the speed limit, and then I just cruise on past them. I don't even look at them. I'm just like, hey, this is what I do every day.

Drive the speed limit. I feel like if I do that, and I do pass the cop, he's then going to look at me for doing something wrong other than speeding. Oh. Like, am I going to cross the... I don't know.

I don't do it. I didn't do it. The situation happened. I didn't pass it. We were doing 55. I said it about 51 and just stayed behind until the cop car turned off. See, I think they know.

that. I think they're like, watch the ones that aren't passing me because they're definitely hiding something. Oh, you think it's the opposite. If I were a cup, that's how I would be thinking. Why are they not passing me so I don't see their expired license plate? Something's up. So you'd pull over people who did nothing wrong because you know they're the ones

hiding something. Because you, they always want to run the plates, right? Because that's how you find out they have a warrant or they're expired. Something's up with those plates. That's why they don't want me behind them. I do have some bad news for lunchbox. Well, it's not my news that I'm bringing But Amy said, hey, can I talk about this?

And she said it's bad news for Lunchbox. All right, Amy, you're up. Well, I saw a little article come out about how if you want to be famous and how time is running out for you, depending on your age. And there is scientific proof that if you want to become famous, your odds start dropping after age 30. And you're almost 40. So I just felt like, it's been about nine years. Is your goal to still be famous? Well, I mean, I'm already famous.

I'm not to the level that I wanted to be when I was younger, but I still think there's hope in time with going viral or something happening. But I still have a level of fame that most people have no idea. Like the slimest, like half a percent of the world gets to experience the fame level that I have right now. And so I have fame, just not the status I wanted. Right. Well, the status you want, the clock's ticking. I know.

And also, with all the different ways to consume people and fame being so relative, actually the population has probably gone up from what you think is like. No, no, see, like you get on, what do you call that, TikTok. There we go. Well, I was going to say, I was going to say. Tell us how to go viral, Papua. No, I was going to say Snapchat or Instagram, but now it's all about TikTok. and those kids, they think they're famous, but they're not really famous.

They're not. They've had one video that you get a lot of views. You're not famous. But do you get that's what people are saying about you? This guy, lunchbox, I have lasting power. I've been on the radio for, I don't know, almost two decades. And people look up to me and I have fame. I get VIP treatment when I go places.

That's fame. That stupid girl on TikTok, she goes up to a Christmas light display and goes, hey, I'm TikTok star Samantha. They'd be like, back of the line. I say I'm lunchbox on the radio, front of the line. Bones, you know people are going to ask right now. Is he serious? Is he serious? Like, yes.

He's serious. And I love now that yes, while you have been in radio more than 15 years, 16, maybe 17, I love how you made it sound way bigger by saying almost two decades. It just sounds like more. Good job. How do you think you'll become super famous lunchbox? Man, I don't know. I mean, at some point you just get found.

And sometimes it comes. later in life and it's going to happen. If it's maybe I hit the lottery and then everybody's like, wow, and then I get a lot of TV coverage. I invent something. I go on Shark Tank. I don't know. But I go on Survivor and I win the million dollars.

Amy, if I knew that right now, if everybody knew what they were going to invent, they would have already invented it. You haven't invented anything. Yeah. People that are showing up on Shark Tank, they've been innovating for years probably and coming up with ideas and working on patents and trying to get it made. Like they don't just wake up with an idea. I know they do.

That's absolutely what they do. But then they worked towards it. Let me ask you this. If you die and you're never more famous... Oh man, that's going to... I would die a sad man. Then you are right now. Whatever that means.

Oh, don't say that. Will you die sad? Yes, I'll be sad. I'll be disappointed in myself or not reaching a certain level. That would be a letdown. Would you rather be really famous and not rich or really rich and not famous. Dang.

That is like the double-edged sword, like my biggest predicament in life. What? None of those words made sense together, but I'm still going to take your answer. Oh, man, I think I... Boy. So money or fame is the question.

Right, you can be famous, but you have no money, or you can be rich and you have no fame. See, because... There's no side chop out of it. I know. Can I talk it out for a second? Go ahead. Because being famous,

you can get things for free and people will think you're rich and they'll allow you to come places and they'll take care of you. Being rich, you may not be able to get in all the places, but you can buy your way in. And what looks more baller than buying your way in? And everybody going, man, how does that guy have his money when you walk in because you're flashing hundreds? Ooh.

But if people believe you are rich, they'll treat you differently. so I'm going to go famous because they think I'm rich. Man, that's tough. So you'd rather be famous than rich. Yeah, that's a tough one, man. Your explanation sounds like you wanted to be rich, though. I know. No, no.

He just cares if people think he's right. Interesting. It's about the image. So, and with fame will come hook up. Exactly. So you don't really need as much money when you're famous. Yeah, I see your logic there, Lunge Fox. Thank you.

See you? Me? I'd rather be rich than famous. I don't care less if people know me. Me too. Me too. Are you sure about that though, Bobby? Yeah, I'm sure. Huh. Interesting.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm sure about that. I mean, I know you would want to work for it. You don't want to just like handed to you, but I think there is something about you've chosen a profession where you are, I mean, I guess we're all in. Yep, but I can tell you from my experience of whatever level of fame you think I have, which I feel like it's very low. Yeah.

It means nothing. It means absolutely nothing. It doesn't make you any happier. All right. Okay. Well, money doesn't make people. happy either. They both make you happy. Why do you think people do it guys?

Like you don't ask for a raise because it makes you mad. It makes you happy. Like you don't go to your boss I think we're talking about different financial terms than asking for a raise. Yeah, that's like... Maybe you need the money. No, Julia Roberts doesn't need 20 million

of film. She could afford to live on 10 million, but guess what? That extra 10 million makes her life a little bit nicer. Cool example. Julia Roberts. Well, movie podcast's latest one. Talked about actresses and actors that had, you know, got paid for a little amount of money for a role. And she was one of them. Pretty woman.

But what happens is you're paid based on what you can bring back to the company. So people that are paid a whole lot. I saw Stephen A. Smith getting ripped last week who works at ESPN. They're like, look at your fat check. You're the one. And he's like, no. Because they pay me this fat amount, I'm able to be here and generate way more revenue so more people can have jobs. Anyway, that's it.

Lunchbox. Thank you for that. Yeah. Same train leaving. Coming from the Bass Pro Shops and Cabela Studio on Music Row, the Bobby Bone Show. If you're just now waking up

So check out the podcast today. I'll tell you what I posted over the weekend. Because we're in California, and so we will finish taping, and we drove out to the beach. You're really not allowed

to do anything, but you can walk out on the beach still. And so Caitlin, my fiance, loves the beach. And I have never been a fan of the beach. Sand, water, ha, who cares. But she loves it. So we go out on the beach. We take a picture. I post it.

And I say, she loves the beach, so I love the beach. Well, then Eddie gets all butt hurt. And it's like, I've been telling you about the beach for years. Yeah, I have. And every time I mention it, you're like, ah, stinks, man. Beach is stupid. What do you do? You just sit there and do nothing.

I'm like, what? It's the best place in the world. And you've always argued with me. And now what? if it were me by myself, I still wouldn't go. What did you tweet? If I made out with you, if I made out with you, which we have.

Go ahead. No, we have. I said if she loves the beach, I love the beach. Yes, right. So I'm thinking, okay, that's great. Now what else? Bobby's going to start eating peanut butter. No, no, no, no peanut butter.

But I can tell you I don't root against Uncle Homer anymore. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. Like, I'll never not be a ragerback. And she'll never not be as sooner. But we've both come to terms with we don't dislike the other teams anymore. And I never disliked Oklahoma, but I would do it against them because they're always big, bad Oklahoma, you know? Just rolling over people.

It's actually pretty amazing what love can do to someone. Like you truly never cared for the beach. Do you really love it now, though? Yep. Winkwings. Eddie, he was just putting something up on Twitter. I just needed some sort of post, Eddie. Well, I got a little hurt by it.

I needed a caption. You got all hurt. But you never take me to the beach. No, that's great. All right. That's it. I hope you guys have an amazing day. You know what we all sang at the beach, though?

We were there. And it was, listen, it's cold, too. In the evening here, it's cold. You sang Cocoa. No, what did we sing? Why do we sing? Because it's me, Caitlin, Mike D, who is my producer and Tom Lord, who is my manager, who's out here because we're shooting TV. I got it.

Me and Ryan are like in the second dairy part and Luke and Lionel are in the back. And Katie goes, hey, you're engaged? I was like, yeah. She goes, hey, what's the day to your wedding? I told her. And then she goes, all right? How old? How much older?

I was like, I'm 11 years and some months older. She's okay, okay, okay. And she goes, wow, you guys are getting Karmatically married. And I was like, what does that mean? She did something in her head, I'm not sure. I was like, what does that mean? She goes, karma has put you two back together.
