Morning Studio. Morning! Here we are. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. I'm in California still, so it's not Christmasy here. It's warm. I tell you, I get in the back of these cars, Amy. I have Uber everywhere.

I don't have a car out here. And I'm out here, we're taping American Idol, which I had mentioned. It's Hollywood Week, and I've been mentoring away. And I get in the back of these cars, and I get in the back of these cars, and I can. get so car sick. I got car sick on dancing with stars. I get car sick on elevators. I get car sick. If I'm looking at my phone scrolling and it happen to be walking, I get so car sick. And so when I mention it, I will get tweets and stuff going, oh, I'm glad you speak. Because apparently there's a lot of us to feel victimized by car sickness. And I guess I'm the voice of it. Oh, okay. Yeah. I got a story

here. According to experts, the reason you get car sick is your brain thinks it's being poisoned. Oh, what? Scientists have suggested that when you're in a car, your brain is getting conflicted messages about your immediate environment, similar to when you've been poisoned. That's right. Wow. Experts think that car sickness is brought on because humans have only recently started traveling

in things like cars or buses or boats, and our pea brain brains haven't fully adapted yet. Or at least mine, you guys have figured it out. You're like, I'm in a car. Mine's like, what's happening? So despite the fact that we're moving, our brains aren't adjusting yet. Staring out the window can help because it reassures the brain that you're in fact moving and all as well. But if you're reading a book, I do love to read books or a map.

It makes it worse because it convinces the brain that you're stationary, but really you're moving. Isn't it all this crazy or am I just the only one that cares about this because I get so car sick? I mean, I think it's pretty crazy and interesting. I don't get carsick like you, but sometimes I do if I, try to, if I'm in an Uber and I have time to work, I'll get on my computer and then I'll have to put it away because I'll get sick. And now I know it's because my brain is protecting me from getting poisoned. Mm-hmm. It's kind of awesome how our bodies work. Sometimes. Isn't it crazy, though, I think about this too, that our bodies are doing so many things right all at the same time.

Yeah. Because just one little thing wrong and all this stuff could happen, like pigmentation. There's, I mean, our body is like 10 million things happening exactly right at the same time when we're healthy. Right. And right now I'm not all the way healthy Because I've been fighting this bug for like the past week And even then I'm like 99.9% right And my body's still pretty right, you know? Yeah

Yeah Again, we take that stuff for granted Health is something that you take for granted Until you don't have it It's like teeth or knees or ears You're always like, ah, I feel good But when you get a toothache You're like, remember those good old days

When I didn't have a toothache Yeah Like you don't even think about that Then all of a sudden you're like Back in the good old days my teeth didn't even hurt and it was so good. It's like when you get sick, I was sick and I'd be in bed going,

I took for granted so many of those days when I was just feeling good. I know. I know. What? I just feel like when I get sick or feel a certain way, yeah, like I literally would give anything to feel better.

And my sicknesses are like the kind that lasts like a day or two. Yeah. And some people have to like live with chronic illness. And sometimes you start making like deals with Jesus You're like, dear Jesus, if you just make me feel better, I promise, I'll say nine prayers for the next three. Or sometimes I'm like, death might be better. Yeah, no, I don't do that.

No, no, you count me out of that one, Amy. Sorry, my bad, my bad. Amy goes full dark. Like, usually it's me, and Amy's the one that's like, you know, sometimes I'm just like, let's just wrap it up right now. Wow. I know. The Bobby Bones Show. Big Three Stories.

Hey, it's producer Ramundo. There's a nationwide search for that mother who vanished on Thanksgiving Day. Pictures of her online. The 29-year-old was last seen in Woodson. Park, Colorado. Police have pinged her cell phone in Idaho. In weather news, real nice, 40s and 50s in most places, rain, snow mix in the upper northwest. And finally, in airline news, lots of flights were canceled in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina over the weekend and yesterday from all that snow, so definitely check your flight status before you head to the airport.

The Bobby Bones Show. Our audio producer, Raimundo, he works in the glass room that's connected to the main studio. And how old are you, Ramuda? 33. And you still sleep with a nightlight? Yeah, I do. The one time I, when I was in college, I fell and broke my arm because the room was too dark. And so ever since then, I've always been terrified of like a completely dark room sleeping. And I always am scared that I'm going to fall or something and break my arm again. So wait, is it plugged into like a plug? Yeah, it's just plugged in, just like when we all grew up, we all had nightlights. And for some reason, now I have to have a night light. I like being able to see some things. I don't know how it's, if it's a dungeon,

I ain't sleeping. So you're going to. girlfriend, how she felt about that? She thought it was so weird at first, but then I explained to her, hey, had an issue in college, or ended up falling five feet and broke my arm, all because the room was dark, I have to do a night light, I can't sleep at night. Just like kids out there, I'm the exact same. Amy, do you

kids need a night light? No. How old are your son? Eight. It's cool? He cool? Yeah. I do. Even when I sleep here at the studio, the guys will leave the room and I'm like, leave the lights on. I'm not sleeping in this room with it dark. So you sleep with the lights on? Do you see how it is right now? It's exactly how I sleep.

Yes. That's funny. You know, I sleep with the TV on. And it's because my whole life I slept with the TV. I live in the living room, but I don't have a bedroom. But I sleep with the TV on. I don't have a bedroom. But I sleep with the TV on. I don't have a bedroom. So, goodbye. Two things. I sleep the TV on. Got to light my dog. Okay. So what kind of nightlight is it? Oh, it's usually just one of those little plug-in. I mean, the same ones we all grew up with, man. I never read a nightlight. Oh, are you kidding me? Dude, I'm terrified. Even when I was younger, I was younger, I was. I was all, mom turn on the nightlight, now I'm like, Ray, turn on the nightlight, nightlight. It's a way of going to sleep. I need a fan. I need a night light. Anyone else have things they need to sleep?

Amy? No, I need lights off, quiet. No, that's it. The heat went off of my house, and so it's cold, right? It's wintertime. And so I couldn't get anyone to come to my house and fix it, so I have a space heater. And I put space heater beside my bed. And so that means my left side would get warm.

That was like a rotissory chicken. So my left side would get warm. warm and then my right side would get cold so about an hour and asleep I have to turn around and get my right side warm and so I constantly had to keep rolling all night long for like two nights because my heat wasn't going on I felt like one of those infomercials but I'd put that chicken on the thing yeah I've been holding on to that one for a few days thank you didn't get much of a reaction but it's true story all right uh what's up just funny what it is now I'm picturing you rolling around I had to have to eat yeah I was like okay left side's warm turn over to the

right and by the time that left side would start to cool down it would roll back over and be put back on there. Then nobody ate me. Oh boy. What is that? Goodbye. Bobby Bones. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two, 30 second skinny. George Strait announced that he has a new album on the way called Honky Tunk Time

Machine. No word on release date yet, but he has released his song from it called Kodigo. Here's a clip. Is that his brain, Keelah? Yes. I mean, he's doing a commercial. That's one way to do it, yeah. That's pretty baller. Yeah.

That's pretty cool. Classic George, while he's doing a commercial for his own tequila, I don't even drink, and I'd be like, I'd try some of that. All right, what else, Morgan number two? And congratulations to Mitchell Ten Penny. He has his first number one with Drunk Me. His album Telling All My Secrets comes out on Friday. I like that guy. That's a good one.

Yeah. Anything else Morgan number two? That's your skinny. Our audio producer, Raymondo. Malik, he makka is a thing. It says a skating rink, eye skating rink near his apartment. That's true? Yeah, it used to be an amphitheater,

and then they just converted it for families to go bring in the season greetings, I guess. Everybody's ice skating the whole time. Yeah. And so what's irritating about that to you? Well, they will play Christmas music from, whenever I go to work, for some reason they keep the music playing overnight, all the way through the entire next day, there's Christmas music. It's nonstop, and it's an amphitheater,

so they have it out of huge speakers. So all the time you're just hearing Christmas music? It is nonstop. It's not just while you're at the ice skating rink trying to do some figure eights. If you're walking your dog, if you're outside on the patio, if you're parking your car, it is Christmas music nonstop. Is it angering you? I don't want to be a grinch. I love Christmas.

No, I'm all about the Christmas season holiday. But listen, when you're trying to do it, it's an amphitheater and they convert it into this. I mean, that's how the amphitheater was. I thought we had a break from this. Because they were having loud concerts. Yes. It was like sticks playing outside your window. Dude, it is pumping.

And honestly, I think the Christmas station, they have some radio station playing, it switches over to rock around midnight. So sometimes when I wake up in the morning, it's like hardcore rock. It's like Zeppelin. Like, they have got to get the thing under control, man. I mean, yeah, I believe for the people when they're doing their skating, do the music, but temper it a little bit so it's not so loud. The entire city hears it.

How's everything we're doing your girl? Oh, we're great. We're still living downtown first and broad. And you guys are, by the way, that makes Broadway. Shut out that address. So, wait, yeah, I know, right? Ray just yelled where he lived to tell. It's the vicinity.

You would never find us. Okay. Okay. Folks, it's your buddy and my... Mr. Bobby Bone. Let me know. I was watching back some of this, Brett Eldridge. Brett Eldridge came on our show and played a Christmas song the other day. What was it, yesterday?

Mm-hmm. It's so good, huh? So good. And Amy commented on his Instagram. What did you write? Oh, I commented somewhere on a show. Instagram posts, something about his Southwest card and something blah, blah, blah, I don't know. But then the Southwest credit card people that work with him, whatever, they sent me and I'm an email,

inviting me to his show in New York. Wait, what? Yeah, he's doing his Christmas show in New York. And they invited me as a guest because they saw me comment on his Instagram. Did they invite you because you're Amy from the Bobby Bone Show or they invite you because they just go and find random people? Well, they said that they were trying to get a hold of me on Instagram after they saw my so they sent me direct messages, and I guess I missed them.

So then, boom, I had an email from them. Are you going to New York to watch Brett Eldridge sing live? No, it's tonight. They did ask me if I needed travel arrangements and all the things. Wait, what? Yes. It's like literally the email said, Hi, Amy, we saw your comment on Brett Eldridge's post regarding the Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card, blah, blah, blah.

And then they were like, we'd like to extend you two tickets to Brett's glow live concert at the Beacon Theater in NYC. How do you win stuff When you already have everything? Yeah, how awesome it would be to go? But obviously, can't go, but pretty cool. Yeah, that is pretty cool. I know.

Sometimes I comment on stuff on Instagram that I never go back and see what people say. I was, so Sunday night, they had the Dancing with the Stars juniors finale. And the team that won, I knew they won, right, already because they had to tape that, like, months ago. And so we took a picture together whenever I won, and ABC posted it up on the Dancing with Stars.

Yeah. And I went over to look at it and congratulate the two. And all it was is people bashing me again. Oh, yeah. So I rode underneath the picture. I was like, well, I just came here and said everybody bashing me. Can't people get over the fact that the underdog finally won one? I mean, I feel like a lot of people are pumped at the underdog one.

You just have the loud ones that, I don't know. Man. They're loud. What is it that they say? The, you know, the main ones. The early bird gets the worm. No, not that saying. No.

The bark louder, the mean ones, they bark louder. They bark loud. They do bark louder, man. These people that love like Juan Pablo and Milo, gee, they're killing me over here. Yeah, I didn't win anything, though. I didn't post on Instagram. They were like, hey, have two free tickets.

I know. So cool. I know. Hey, listen to this. Let me say this. Speaking of free tickets. So my band The Raging Idiots, it's Eddie and myself. We're doing, it's called The Million Dollar Show.

It's number four. I want you to come see us play. We're playing, and then Luke Bryan comes in the middle of our set, Lady Annabellum, Cole Swindale, John Party, even three doors down. It's presented by the general insurance. All you have to do is go to Bobby Bones.com, because not only, it's very similar what Amy was talking about there. Somebody's going to win. We get a round-trip airfare, two nights hotel, two tickets to the show on January 14th. Just go to Bobby Bones.com, type in the keyword, the rules, and you'll see the rules.

It's all up there. Three days, two nights, and you get to come. That's going to be a fun show, huh? That's pretty baller. Yeah, it is pretty baller. What reminded me is you talking about the Brett Eldridge thing. Yeah. For more rules and info, go to bobbybones.com, keyword rules.

But go over to bobbybones.com and get in that because we just give those away. And that show's going to be cool. I got a whole new design for The Raging Idiots, this set, this show. What does that? What do you mean? Well, so I do like all the creative, too, like the outfits, I mean, all that. So I've, this time we are doing, you know, like those old Letterman sweaters from like the 50s, like sock hop. Yes.

So I bought a bunch of these sweaters and I put R.I. on them as the letter like Raging Idiots, our band. Cute. And so we're all going to have these big Letterman sweaters with like bow ties. Are you going to wear penny loafers? Well, I have to dance. Like, we have to dance on stage. So that's kind of hard to play music and dance in. Oh.

So I don't know. But I hope people come to the show because one is it. Well, it's sold out. Well, it's coming. Don't you worry about when it is. You will be there. Okay. It's tonight at the beacon in New York.

You're going to be there, right? Yeah. No, it's January 14th at the Rhyman. But I go to bobby bones.com. It takes Americans four days to stop thinking about work while they're on vacation. Your thoughts, Amy. Hmm. No, I can quit thinking about it in about four minutes.

You can? Yes. I was talking to our boss. We were having a meeting before I came to California. He said, hey, like, what's going on with you? I said, I got to go and I'm going to shoot American Idol for a week. And really, a lot of this American Idol happens next year, especially when the show gets live, because we're doing Hollywood Week right now.

Like, he was asking what's going on with you? Like, what are you up to for Christmas? Just what am I doing this week? And what's up for Christmas? But his thing was, you have to take like 10 days because he knows me. It takes five or six days. I never stop thinking about work. Yeah.

And I was just thinking about this story because it takes me a while. Last year for Christmas, I went by myself and just wrote my book and finished my book. Yeah. So it takes four days to stop thinking about work. It takes Amy four minutes. Eddie, what about you? When can you stop thinking about work? Right now. Oh, you're at work and you're not thinking about work.

Give me two seconds and I'm done. I'm thinking about it. I don't know that I ever really stopped thinking about work. No, I was about to say, even if I don't know what our boss told you, you need 10 days because it'll take you five or six to quit thinking about it. You'll, you never stop thinking about work ever. I think part of that, though, is because there's really nothing else for me to focus on right now. Fair? What am I going to think about? Fair.

Fair. I know. Like I can easily get, Eddie and I both easily can get distracted by kids, spouses, butterflies. Family stuff, all the things. Squirrel. Yeah. Well, yeah, also that. So, yeah, that's the deal. Shoot. That's not funny. No, of course not. So Christmas is coming out. This is our last week. And then we'll check out and go do our Christmas. Yeah. And what's your big plans? I don't have, this is, I don't have one. Nothing to tease. no crazy location. I'm just going to sit at my house.

And I have some friends I'll be hanging out with. Michael Scott, Pam Beasley. Okay, the office. The Golden Girls. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rachel and Ross probably a little bit. So Netflix. I have nothing.

And to be fair. Like Amy said, hey, come to Texas and, or no, you're going to Colorado. Yeah, and I said to come there and try to go skiing for the first time. What an adventure. That's cool. Nah. I've been invited by a few people. I'm not sad sacking you here.

I just, me, I'm gonna sit at home and chill. Oh my gosh. What do you want me? Amy, like, really, what do you want me to do?

Well, I don't know, but not, I mean, one of these days, take somebody up on an invite. I will. When I finally get a girlfriend?

No, your girlfriends have invited you place, like home for Christmas and places and different things and you don't go. Oh, suddenly a year later,

at 38, you've matured? Yeah. If I had a girlfriend this year, I would go. Yeah, you're saying that because you don't have a girlfriend. It's easy to say.

Yeah, it is. And it's fine I'm saying it. Okay. Have you ever gone home to meet a girlfriend's family for Christmas or a holiday? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's right. You did.

Wait, how do you know? Which one? I thought... No, twice. No, no, twice. Yeah. I've only ever had like four girlfriends. So twice.

I know. But I mean, at least the one you were with for four years, you did, right? Mm-hmm. I did. And I probably would have done the last one. Yeah. The last one, it was in Canada. And it was cold up there.

Yeah, but then you, okay. You did go? No, I wouldn't. Yeah, you wouldn't go. And then after y'all broke up, you went to Canada. But it was summertime, and that was work. And it was in Toronto. And they syndicate our show up there, and they were like, you have to go to Canada.

So, I'll be spending, I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal. What? I'll watch a lot of Christmas episodes of The Office and Friends. But how fun would it be? I mean, you could be with Stevenson and Stasheera and, like, hang out. Like, all jokes aside, I feel like I'm opposing. And not only that, not only am I in the way, but I also feel like people look at me like the charity case. Like, oh, he's only here because he has nowhere else to go.

Like, that's really what I feel. Or because we're all friends and we can hang out. Amy, I'm just, all I can't tell you my feelings. Right. You're right. And I can't feelings or, what do you say? No feelings are wrong. How you act on them.

Right. Right. And how you're acting on it is wrong. Okay. Well, rude. That's the deal. Okay, I'm not talking about this. I hope everybody's good.

Morning good so far, Amy? Yeah, really good. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Emily Sadler, 15 years old, has been fighting cancer for the last year and a half. She was diagnosed with the type of cancer's gone through several surgeries and radiation treatments. Emily's mom, Amy, got news that Emily was cancer-free.

So she wanted to share the. news in a very special way. All of Emily's classmates got together in an assembly, and when Emily walked in, they yelled this. And they all cheered, and that's how she found out. Come on, Amy. Come on. I love it. Isn't that crazy? Play that again. Cancer free. Yes, easy chills. Just playing that. That's awesome. Emily, if you happen to be listening, congratulations. Way to keep the fight up. And that's Tell Me Something Good And that's what it's all about right there That was Tell Me Something Good

So I bought up a bunch of these sweaters and I put R. them is the letter like Raging Idiots, our band. Cute. And so we're all going to have these big

letterman sweaters with like bow ties. Are you going to wear penny loafers? Well, I have to dance. Like, we have to dance on stage, so that's kind of hard to play music and dance in. Oh. So, I don't know, but I hope people come to the show because... When is it again? Well, it's sold out. Well, it's

coming. Don't you worry about when it is. You will be there. Okay. It's tonight at the Beacon in New York. You're going to be there, right? Yeah. No, it's January 14th at the Ryman. But I go to Bobby Bones. It takes Americans four days to stop thinking about work while they're on vacation. Your thoughts, Amy. Hmm.

Now I can quit thinking about it in about four minutes. You can? Yes. I was talking to our boss. We were having a meeting before I came to California. He said, hey, like what's going on with you? I said, I got to go and I'm going to shoot American Idol for a week. And really, a lot of this American Idol happens next year, especially when the show gets live, because we're doing Hollywood a week right now.

And like he was asking what's going on with you like what are you up to for Christmas? Just what am I doing this week and what's up for Christmas and but his thing was you have to take like 10 days because he knows me it takes five or six days. I never stopped thinking about work. Yeah. And I was just thinking about this story because it takes me a while. Last year for Christmas I went by myself and just wrote my book and finished my book. Yeah. So it takes four days to stop thinking about work.

It takes Amy four minutes. Eddie, what about you? When can you stop thinking about work? Right now? Oh, you're at work and you're not thinking about work. Give me two seconds and I'm done. I'm thinking about it. I don't know that I ever really stop thinking about it.

No, I was about to say, even if I don't know what our boss told you, you need 10 days because it'll take you five or six to quit thinking about it, you'll, you never stop thinking about ever. I think part of that, though, is because there's really nothing else for me to focus on right now. Fair? What am I going to think about? Fair. Fair. I know. Like, I can easily get, Eddie and I both easily can get distracted by.

kids, spouses, butterflies, family stuff, all the things. Squirrel. Yeah. Well, yeah, also that. So, yeah, that's the deal. Shoot. That's not funny.

No, of course not. So Christmas is coming out. This is our last week. And then we'll check out and go do our Christmas. Yeah. And what's your big plans? I don't have one. Nothing to tease.

No crazy location. I'm just going to sit at my house. And I have some friends. I'll be hanging out with. Michael Scott, Pan Beasley. Like, okay, the office. The Golden Girls.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rachel and Ross probably a little bit. So, Netflix. I have nothing. And to be fair, like Amy said, hey, come to Texas and, or no,

you're going to Colorado. Yeah, and I said to come there and try to go skiing for the first time. What an adventure. That's cool. Nah. I've been invited by a few people.

I'm not sad sacking you here. I just, meh. I'm going to sit at home and chill. Oh my gosh What do you want me Amy like really

What do you want me to do? Well I don't know but not I mean one of these days Take somebody up on an invite I will when I finally get a girlfriend No your girlfriends have invited you Place like home for Christmas And places

I wasn't mature enough then Oh suddenly a year later At 38 you've matured Yeah If I had a girlfriend this year I would go Yeah you're saying that Because you don't have a girlfriend It's easy to say

Yeah it is And that's why I'm saying it. Okay. Have you ever gone home to meet a girlfriend's family for Christmas or a holiday? Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah, that's right. You did.

Okay. Wait, how do you know? Which one? I thought. No, twice. No, no, twice. Yeah. I've only ever had like four girlfriends.

So twice. I know. But I mean, at least the one you were with for four years you did, right? Mm-hmm. I did. Okay. And I probably would have done the last one. Mm-hmm.

Yep. The last one, it was in Canada. I know it was cold up there. Yeah, but then you, okay. You did go? No. I wouldn't go. Yeah, you wouldn't go.

And then after y'all broke up, you went to Canada. But it was summertime, and that was work, and it was in Toronto. And they syndicate our show up there, and they were like, you have to go to Canada. So I'll be spending, I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal. What? I'll watch a lot of Christmas episodes of The Office and Friends. But how fun would it be? I mean, you could be with Stevenson and Stasheera and, like, hang out.

Like, all jokes aside, I feel like I'm opposing. And not only that, not only am I in the way, but I also feel like people look at me, like the charity case. Like, oh, he's only here because he has nowhere else to go. Like, that's really what I feel. Or because we're all friends and we can hang out. Amy, I'm just, all I can't tell you my feelings. Right. You're right. And I can't, feelings or, what do you say? No, no feelings are wrong. How you act on them. Right. Right. And how you're acting on it is wrong. Okay, well, rude. Um, that's the deal. Okay, I'm not talking about this. I hope everybody's good. Like, morning good so far, Amy?

Yeah, really good. Let's go over to Tanya or Tanya in Tampa. Hello. Hey, how are you? Hey, guys, it's Tanya, right? Yeah. Okay, thank you for calling. What can I help you with?

Hey, I have a nine-year-old son, and he's got this kid at school. He's somewhat of a bully. He doesn't, like, physically touch him, but he's always, like, commenting and saying stuff. And I just wanted to know what advice would you give to him since you kind of experience some of those. similar things when you were a child and now as an adult you get scrutinized by the public for I don't know not being the best dancer so easy easy come on I'm all like I'm all four bobby bones and who cares if you can dance or not but I don't like trolls anyway so I just wanted to know like what advice would you give to him because I often tell him I sometimes find

myself stooping to that level of a nine-year-old but then I'm like well that's not the right advice to give him, you know, but... Yeah, it's hard not to, listen, it's hard to not lash out when you're getting bullied, or it's hard to do the opposite, to run away when you're getting bullied. And I was bullied a lot as a kid. I was just small, and I was the poor kid, and so, you know what kids do who are feeling bad about themselves? They pick on other kids.

And so here's what I would say to your nine-year-old son. First of all, it's tough to explain to a nine-year-old something much bigger than something a nine-year-old understands, which is, kids that are hurting are the ones that hurt other kids. So anyone that's picking on your son, it's said son, right? Right. Yeah.

They're obviously going through something that's hurting them or they wouldn't be lashing out. And so first of all, I would just suggest he gets away from it. Act like it doesn't affect him. Gets away from it, every situation possible. When it comes to, if he starts to be, like, hit or punched, and that's not happening, right? No, I've told him,

If you, if this kid ever hit you, you better hit them so hard back. Like, you have to defend yourself. Do not let him hit you. But then, you know, obviously the school has their policies and stuff. And I've made it very clear to the school, like, I don't care what your policy is. My son is no one's punching back. But the kid really hasn't gotten to that point. He, you know, he'll trip them and, like, my son will fall or, you know, mostly it's just verbal stuff.

Well, the real practical advice I would give first is that, one, if it's like if someone is like poking with you on this show, if he act like it doesn't bother you, eventually people go, eh, I'm just going to stop. You know, because they're just looking to get a rise. He's looking to have some sort of power over your son. So one, I would just try to acknowledge it as least as possible. If that doesn't work, he's nine. I'll go tell somebody. Like, I know that sounds like such a tattletel thing to do, but if, if you're just, if you're not, you know,

he's getting tripped, like he's got to go tell somebody. I think it could be you calling their parent too and being like, hey, what's going on here? And also realizing that there are other nerds like myself that went through this and got through. And I think it's great to show them examples. And I think I'm a good example of that. Listen, I got the crowd beat out of me until I was, I mean, my 20s. So to say, hey, listen, it does get a lot better and find other outlets. And for me, I got beat up.

But you know what I did? I studied so hard. And I was like, I'm going to show all the. these bullies and kids that one day I'm going to make it out of here. It's not easy. I wish there was just a simple answer. Amy's dealing with us a little bit with her eight-year-old son right now. But I think role models are good.

I think that explaining why kids bully is good. And all else fails, you just have to, you have to sometimes take care of it too as a parent. Yeah. Amy, how do you feel like that? I agree. Yeah. Totally. Lunchbox?

Man, just tell your kid to hit him back. I think that's a problem is. Okay. I think that's how you're being threatened, I think that's okay. But it's just, it goes in a negative direction for everyone involved. The kid says like really nine-year-old level stuff. So last night in the bathtub, he's like, well, so-and-so said, you know, and I've heard this before, he says that you're fat. Listen, don't out nine-year-old a nine-year-old.

You know, adult a nine-year-old. Well, listen, thank you for your call. I hope that works. I appreciate you very much. Bobby Vaugh. Hey, let's do Easy trivia here. Oh, boy.

Bobby Bowles. If getting a good night's sleep is important it to you as it is. To me, there's nothing worse than those random nighttime noises that can keep you awake. Someone snoring nearby, or late night road work, or the dog in the backyard next door barking. Listen, the good folks at Bose, feel your pain. I have these. I love these. You know Bose as the leader in noise cancelling headphones.

Now they've developed a unique innovation that covers irritating nighttime noises in a new way with soothing sounds. All you have to do is choose a preloaded sound of your choice, put in Bose tiny, snug-fitting sleep buds. They're no ordinary sleep buds, by the way. They combine aspects of passive noise reduction with active noise masking. Not only do they block ambient noise from reaching your eardrums, they put out little general repetitive sounds, both soothing and they're going to knock out some distractions. The point is you get better sleep with fewer disruptions. I love them. You want to learn more?

Go to Bose.com or try them at a Bose store near you. They're Bose sleep buds. I use them. There's also an alarm inside of them. Also available at Best Buy in Amazon. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

So mom, Kelsey Ray, and her baby Lucy about 11 months old, were flying from Orlando to get Lucy's treatment for chronic lung disease at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. and another woman on their flight that happened to be sitting first class gave up her seat so that the mom and the daughter could ride up front and have more room and be comfortable because she travels with this oxygen tank thing. And anyway, the flight attendant just came up to them in the back where they were seated and was like, hey, we'd like to move y'all for a minute.

And they moved them all the way up to the first class. That's cool. I know. I was like, first I was like, I don't know about this. But then you got to think. Somebody sitting up there usually walk by those people and they're just kind of stay. dare at you. Yeah. And you're like, you judging me? Because I'm not first class.

I know. Yeah. But, I mean, they said it was super cool because, like, having the extra room because of her oxygen tank and all the amenities that come along with first class just made it like a really comfortable, special ride. So shout out to the woman that, I mean, I don't have her name. Good Samaritan.

Richie Richie Rich Pants. We'll call it Richie Richie Hatch Hants. Shout out to Richie Richie Hants. And that's really cool. That's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Mr. Bobby Bones. Hey, what's happening, guys? Over to Amy now. We'll get that morning corny on.

Bobby Bone show. If you're new to our show, Amy has two children. They've been here about a year now. They are from Haiti. Amy went to an orphanage on a mission trip. and found these kids fell in love. Five years later, they get brought to America. They're in all of our lives.

They're amazing kids. And my favorite thing now is Amy's son introduces himself as Stevenson from the Bobby Bone Show. Love it. Yes. Yeah, I was like, what did you just say? Someone was like, oh, and what's your name? He goes, I'm Stevenson from the Bobby Bone Show. And I was like, great.

Because I think what happened is he got into his head. He met a few different people over time that have said they've met him, and they've been like, oh, you're so cute, I've heard you on the Bobby Bone show. And so then I guess it started to register with him like, okay, that's how people sort of know me. So now that's how I'm going to introduce myself. Could not love that anymore. Yeah. So it was pretty precious.

Does he talk at school about his mom being on the radio? I don't think so. Does he even understand still really what that is? I don't think so. They have started to really, I mean, my daughter is probably the most. dramatic about it when people come up and say hi or want a picture. Like she literally looks at them like they're crazy. And she's like, why do you want her picture?

Oh, like, why do you want a picture of my mom? Yes. But I think she starts to understand like that it's because they listen to the show, but she still doesn't understand why people feel a connection and they would want to talk and say hi and say that they listen and get a picture, which obviously is super cool because, yeah, there's a connection. But she's just trying to process that. And she doesn't do a good job of hiding her facial expressions or anything.

Like, literally it's happened a few times where I've been like, Stashearha, like, don't make them feel weird for wanting to do this. That's funny. Because she's just like, why are you talking to my mom? Yeah, why do you think my mom's cool? Because I don't. Yeah. She's like, can we go?

Why do you want her picture? I mean, I don't want my picture with her. So it's funny. Here are your top three songs in country music right now, real quick. Number three, speechless, Dan and Shea. I'm speechless. That's just standing there. Let me say this again about Dan and Shea and I said this during the CMAs and they were shut out.

And they're out for two Grammys, by the way. I think we're all rooting for them so much because, man, like, you guys know me. I work, I grind hard. And this group, they are a hard work. Everybody works hard at this level. But they are grinders, man. And so I'm rooting for them. And I'm friends with them also.

I guess that's why I know that. I'm personally friends with them. Amy's friends with them. Amy's friends with Dan's wife. But man, I so hoped that... Tequila was robbed of... It didn't have to win everything. But for that song to be so big,

I hope whenever the Grammys come up that they're recognized. Eddie was talking to me about this too, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, we root for them so hard, and we've seen them since the very beginning, and every time they grow, and tequila comes out, and it's so successful, we're like, yes, come on, you can do it. Yeah, they kind of started when we start it.

of two. And yeah, yeah, good luck, Dan. And that speechless song is so good. It's at number three. So good. And number two, Kane Brown lose it. Here you go. You want to hear a funny story real quick? Yeah. So I get a text and it shows up this number that I don't have at my phone. It's like, hey man, it's Kane, are you good? And I was like, because I was good. And I was like, yeah, you good? I don't know Kane Brown well enough to like text back in forth. We don't have that relationship. And so I'm texting back and forth with Kane Brown. And by the way, this is not a name-dropping story and you'll see what happens at the end of it. And it turns out it wasn't Kane Brown. It was Kane who does a morning show in DC.

Oh. Yeah, different guy. Who I'm friends with and I guess maybe it changed his number or something. And he was still like jingle ball. And the whole time I think I'm chatting with Kane Brown and wondering, how did Kane get my number? But I was really talking to my friend Kane who does a morning show in DC and hot, the radio station there. And so, yeah, there's my Cain Brown story, but it wasn't quite really Cain Brown. You ever do that where you think you're talking to somebody

and then somebody else? Not so much anymore? No. I try to save numbers right away. Man, I don't save anybody. I don't even put your name in my phone unless, like, I would give you a kidney. What?

I don't keep that many numbers in my phone. Hold on. I'm like thinking of four people. might give a kidney too. Yeah. I have four people on my phone. You, you, your second number that you changed it to, because you change the number all the time. Okay. Amy Real New, the third number you gave me. And then maybe Eddie. That's it. Yeah. But I don't really, I don't save a lot of numbers on my phone because I don't want someone grabbing my phone and having everybody's number, you know? Yeah. I can't believe you guys

don't worry about that. But you know what's kind of weirded that out is, now he goes, this person might be, and they know who it is messaging you. Oh, that's so weird. So weird. Yeah. I actually appreciate that. I know. Yeah, me too sometimes. Number one is Mitchell Tenpenny, drunk me. Here you go.

You know what I do sometimes, too, is I have to do detective work. It would just be easier to say people's names in my phone. It all just comes down to me being lazy. So I'll just read like everything we've texted over the past year and have to wedge together all the clues and go, oh, that's who that is. It's my cousin John. Yeah. So, yeah, I just don't, I just don't say people's numbers in my phone that much.

Does that make me a bad person or no? No. Do you answer their phone call if they don't have a name to it? Eddie, I don't answer your phone calls. Oh, that's true. I don't talk on the phone. I'm convinced our brains are all going to be damaged from putting this thing up to our head. So I'll answer your FaceTime's because we'll FaceTime all day long, all day every day.

But you're not going to, you don't answer a FaceTime from a number. You don't know. No, you know what happened? Eddie was in the studio with me the other day and somebody calls me from an unknown number. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I was here too. Were you in there? Oh, so you did pick up that call.

I remember this. I did, and this is why I don't do it anymore after the other day. Oh, wow. I answered and I was like, hello? And they yelled all this vulgar stuff at me because I knew who I was. And I think it was another radio show. And they started yelling all these bad things at me. And I just hung up.

And Eddie goes, how do you, like, deal with that? That worried me. Like, I just like, I've never gotten a call like that. And Bobby's like... They just started screaming, like, really hateful, mean things at me. Amy and Bobby said, yeah, it's happened before. Like, oh my goodness. Like, what? Who's doing this to you? That's weird.

It's terrible, man. And maybe that's why I just don't answer calls. They told you to do something really inappropriate. They told me to eat something that you're not supposed to eat is very vulgar. No, you're not. And they answered the phone. They were like, just buy bones. I was like, yeah.

And they were like, eat it. And I was like, thank you. And I was like, thank you. I was like, thank you. Have Merry Christmas. Thanks, bye. Guys, I'm going to be honest for one second. I don't get it.

I don't come on here and I don't anger people on purpose. but like people in radio, especially like to work for other companies, they're so upset with me and they're so upset with the show and they harass me and they get on Instagram and they send me mean messages and they tell me to eat things you shouldn't eat guys.

You're right. You don't deserve that. I don't. Listen, I don't deserve that. You don't have to love us or love me. But I take a lot of abuse here for doing nothing except for trying to stand up for like normal folks. But whatever. I just do me. And you know what?

I don't want to eat that. I'll be honest with you. No, who does? What they told me to eat, listen, I like to eat a lot of things. Chicken fried steak, like that. I even like bologna sandwiches. Sure. Because I grew up on bologna sandwiches.

But you know what I'm not trying to eat is what they were offered me. Yeah. So they yelled, eat up. And Eddie heard it. And he looked at me like, was that a joke? And I was like, no, dude. I just get randomly harassed from people all the time. I thought about that all day.

I'm like, oh my gosh, I cannot believe that just happened. Like, that would worry me. Dude, and it happens all the time. I go check my insta stories. It's just people all the time harassing. But I don't complain about it because really, I got a pretty good life. And you know what I like to do?

I like to come on the radio and talk to my friends. I like to sometimes like to go and exercise. But you know what I don't like to do? I don't like to eat things that people recommend me to eat on the phone when they scream it at me. I understand that. I get that. Basically, they were like, eat a stick.

Sort of. Kind of. Yeah. Do you read the newspaper, Amy? I mean, no. No. I don't. Do you read anything on your phone that by newspaper, I also mean, is there something that you look at every day and kind of catch up with?

Twitter, because it gives me news links, and then my phone will send me news, like the Apple, whatever they do is part of the news. I follow that. Yeah, what do you have set to where they give you the alerts? Because I have certain things. I have BuzzFeed set because I need to know which person from Dawson's Creek I'm most like. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got to take those quizzes, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But I do get CNN, I do get Fox News. Me too, people, magazine. Yeah, I got to take those alerts. Yeah. Do you do the thing, too, where you feel like you have to be balanced where, because both sides are giving different stories. Like, they can have the same exact story, but they're giving different angles, where you have to read both angles so you feel like you kind of know what's going on? Yes, I like to do that even when I'm watching the news. You flip and hear both stories because both of them are full of crap?

Yeah, me too. Because I enjoy, I know a lot of people don't find it fair and balanced. whatever, but I enjoy some of the people on Fox News, so I watch that. But my husband and I also try to make sure we go to CNN, MSNBC, so we're watching all sides because you can definitely, like even in the morning, it's funny sometimes we have it on, like on a Saturday morning, like you can flip from one station and the other, and you're getting like polar opposite news. Of the same story. Yes, it's crazy. I have found that I like certain people. Yes. Because I trust people more than I trust brands, meaning I like Shepard's

Smith on Fox News. He's one that I like to. Because he will call everybody out. I like the Cuomo guy on CNN. I like Jake Tapper on CNN because he calls people out too. I just like people that will go both that will go after both sides. And I ask that because this is a pretty serious story. There's this newspaper in Missouri. There's a town called Uranus, Missouri, which is like the planet Uranus. And it was called the Uranus Examiner, but they've stopped doing the Uranus Examiner. Oh. I get it.

Yeah. I get it. The Uranus Examiner, a small Missouri newspaper, whose name inspired chuckles and groans is closing. Oh, man. How long did they get to examine all across the Uranus? Isn't that pretty funny? I mean, it's pretty funny.

Uranus examiner, so they stopped making that. I thought that pretty funny. By the way, let me say this. go to bobby bones.com. My band The Raging Idiots.

Do you see the news story or the tabloid story, Amy, about Sharna, my dancing with the stars partner and I? No, I was about to bring that up when we were talking about news. And then I was like, I don't know if he wants to talk about it. Oh, it's okay. Do you have the article? Because I saw it. Yes.

Okay, go ahead. Dancing with the Stars. Sharna Burgess Cuddles with Bobby Bones confirming this about their relationship, which that's the headline. Hello, anybody's going to click on that to figure out what this means. And pretty much it talks about the picture of y'all cuddling on the couch together. And pretty much this means that y'all are forever connected. We're forever going to be connected because we were together for three months every day.

Yeah, and y'all share like a victory together. Yeah, that's right. We both have a mirror ball. And that y'all aren't dating. Are we? Did they confirm that? Yeah, that's what I'm wondering. Well, you asked on the picture, you commented,

does this mean we're dating? I'm just messing with people. Like, because even during the show, like, I was feeding our audience crumbs that they knew better. A lot of them knew better that we weren't dating during the show because I would say things like, I don't want to say who I've been going out with because I don't want you going and, like, in and date

in their social media. Obviously, I was sending everybody to Sharna's social media. So some of our audience picked up on that and they were like, oh, it's not Sharna. because he's, so I gave a little bitty clues like that. But yeah. Listen, she also said on her thing, because she was, I think now I can say this. I think she was dating somebody for a bit during the show as I was at the same time.

So it looked like we were dating each other. But now she's not dating any. Like she said that in the Insta story. She's like, I'm dating, but I'm not dating anyone specifically. Where me, I didn't even been on a date. What are I supposed to do, Amy? I mean, I don't know. anyway

um yeah did you know that they say here that sharna has never formally commented on a personal romantic relationship between y'all two and she's just never really but she has about every other person she said no to every other person except me okay that's interesting

just because we were like we're not going to make this an issue we're not going to like say it either way and honestly I knew this is like insider I knew that people wouldn't care about me like entertainment tonight or all these people and so we never said we were dating, but we didn't say we weren't to hopefully get them, like, sniffing around, but we refuse to do a fake story. We refuse to go and be like, we're dating on that show and lie about it. Oh, so is the Instagram Stargirl, the one with like 20-

They're not together anymore. What? Yeah, they're not together. Was that not real? Rude. Listen, I really like Alan, that guy that was part of that couple, and I think it was kind of real for a second. I'm not even sure how real it was because I do like him a lot. And so I don't know.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Okay. Yeah. Now going on tour next week. I've done zero rehearsals. I mean, oh yeah, that's right. Sorry.

I'm going to move on from that Alexis Ringgirl. But the way she would hug and kiss on him during performances or after, like you would think that they were about to get married or something. Now they're not even together. You have to commit in one way or another to do well on that show. Yeah. I committed by just, I don't know. People bash me still.

Oh. Like, kiddo. What? My aunt was actually literally just texting me asking if you were going to be at the Birmingham live tour for dancing with stars. Yeah, I think I'm on that. I'm on that one. You are.

I check the schedule so I could reply back to her. You're in Columbia, South Carolina, Augusta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, and New York City. That's right. Come watch King Dingling and Dance. That's me. Dancing it up. Now I'm just turning full villain against all these haters from Dancing with the Stars.

I used to be like, guys, I know I'm not a good dancer. I know I wasn't the best. Now I'm just like, I'm the greatest. What's you're going to do about it? they're like Juan Pablo and I liked Juan Pablo but the weird thing was

he was like liking comments people were bashing me I don't even know that until later like Mike D was like you see Juan Pablo was liking comments people bashing you and I was like what A2 Brutee

Dang I know whatever Merry Christmas I'm just gonna say that every segment when I want to change subject What? Merry Christmas

Yeah Merry Christmas It's time for the good news With Lunchbox Tell me something good. The Secret Kindness Agents strike again in Omaha, Nebraska, where they handed out hats, jackets, sweaters, all for the winter. They just hung them up in this one random park and said,

here, come get them, and they have little notes that say, hope you have a good winter. If you're too cold, here's a free jacket. People that can't afford them, they just give back to the community, and they don't want to be recognized. They're called Secret Kindness Agents. You know what's cool about that, too, is that I bet you people also see this, and it inspires them to go up and hang stuff up too.

You know what I mean? Like if they have codes, they go and put them up there as well. So, yeah, I like that. That's a good one. That's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey, you suck a bad word. I mean, I don't like my kids to say it, but then I say it and they hear me say it.

Like, that sucks. Yeah. Like, I say, oh, that sucks. Like that. Like, I don't curse at all, but there are words that I say. I say, like, something pisses me off. I don't like the bad word. But what happened, Eddie, with you and your kids?

I took him to a hockey game. And part of the chanting in the game was, you suck. And my kids are like, my 10-year-old was like, oh, they're saying a bad word. And my little one doesn't know what suck means. So I was like, all right, let's just act like it's not a bad word. And then every two minutes, it's like, Black Hawk suck. And it's like, okay. And then there's a fan behind is going, you suck.

And it's like, okay, he's going to catch on to this. And we don't say that word in our house So I'm like, oh great The next step is they're gonna go to school And start saying that word and the teacher's gonna get mad And they're gonna be in trouble It's suck a bad word Yeah

Because think about it Where does it come from? Yeah, well you can do that with a lot of things We did a whole thing on words And they have very terrible meanings A lot of things we say have very terrible meanings Yeah including this one Okay

So it goes under the category of bad word for me in my house. But what it means, though, is it's not good. Yes. Like, that sucks. That's how people use it. You're not good. You suck. Yeah, you suck.

You suck an egg. Yeah. Suck an egg's probably better than you suck. Do you ask for a sucker? No. Lollipop. Wait, what? Amy, you suck?

You say it with your kids, Ann? I don't. I say that sucks. So it's not fair for me to be like it's a bad word. I don't want my kids saying it, but I need to watch what I say if I'm really going to Have your kids picked up any of your bad words? You don't curse them. I said something.

I called something stupid the other day. And then immediately my son was like, well, that's stupid. And I was like, you can't say stupid, but they got it from me. So yeah, I need a word. Well, I don't want them saying it. It's negative. To me, it's negative. To me, I'm like, okay, that's stupid.

Like, I'm saying it casually sort of like, well, it sucks. Like, I don't really mean it so bad. But then when you hear your kids say it, like, I don't want them. at school or other people to hear my kid being like, oh, that sucks or that's stupid. It's just doesn't sound good. So then I'm like, okay, I need to start holding myself at a better, you know, standard for them. But it's not fair for me to get mad at him or get, he's going to be in trouble when he's just learned it from me. Like my...

What else do you guys not say? Oh, H.E. Double hockey stick? I don't say that word either. Yeah, I don't. Even if a song has it in it, I don't say it. Yeah, that's a bad word in our house. I have a song that I sing, a new comedy song that I sing, it has it in it, but I always have somebody else sing it.

But to me, I'm not even anti-cursed word. I haven't cursed in three years now, a single curse word. And it's not like you cursed a lot, but you used to curse in everyday conversation. Sure. I'm not against it for any moral reason, because I believe they're just a sound that's trying to, that sound is an expression. And if you go 10,000 miles in other direction, that sound means nothing. So it's not like it's this universal being of evil.

It's just a sound. But since I write, I want to not write with that in my head. I don't want to write jokes with curse words. I don't want to come in the show and say curse words. Which is funny because we leave the studio and lunchbox goes outside in the hallway. Immediately. It's an F word immediately. It makes me uncomfortable.

It's just so hardcore. Yeah. When you're around that environment where like no one's really, because we all really don't curse around here in the studio or whatever. But yeah, as soon as you leave and you hear someone say it, it's shocking for a second. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I have a good friend that's a kid. comedian. We've become good friends recently. She's curses all the time. Every second. It doesn't bother me.

It doesn't bother me at all. And like I did a podcast with Wheeler Walker Jr. Do you curse? Every other word. Maybe every word. And his albums are really dirty. Like comedy dirty. I don't mind that. I watch Chris Ross. I like I'm good with it. I just don't choose it not to me. Not for me. Yeah. Yeah. I never really had a thing with cussing. Like it's just I don't really do it. But my dad, but like my dad like been hanging out with him a ton. lately, he cusses all the time.

Like, it's just saying funny. Lunch hits it. I hate the cuss words every once in a while. Not every once in a while. Like, yeah. Do you crush around your baby? Yeah. Baby doesn't understand what I'm saying. That's no idea. And if you don't, I'd like it's a bad word, they have no idea if it's a bad word either. Do you think you'll, were you allowed to cuss as a kid? I probably started cussing around age 12. I remember my dad.

Oh, wow. At first cuss word, we were driving home from a soccer game and the Cowboys game was on and Leon let had two false starts in a row or something. And my dad goes, are you blanking kidding me? me, Forrest and Aaron, we're like, whoa, it was awesome. The first time I heard my dad curse, and it was on from there. Game on after that. He never stopped. Now we have this guy.

He's still doing it. And here we are. Shout on my dad. I never cursed in front of my mom and my grandfrey. She would have slapped me silly. Really? Quick. Never.

Oh, man. Now I talk to my parents regular day. Every day curse words in the conversation. Never. I remember I was like 22 when I cursed in front of my dad, and he was just like, what did you Sam. It's like 22 years old. My bad. My bad. 22? I'll never do that again.

Yeah. So you're 39 right now. You wouldn't... Nope. Oh my gosh. Did you drink in front of your parents' lunchbox? Oh, once I turned 21, yeah. Not a big deal? No. And when I was younger, they always just said, if you want to drink, don't drive. They never said, you know, they said, we can't tell you not to drink because you're going to be out with your friends and it's your decision. That's how they rolled. Eddie, you drink with your dad?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's how we bond. Amy? Do I drink with my dad? Do you drink wine? Oh, yeah. I mean, my parents, we would have drinks. Yes. But my parents weren't really drinkers, and they still don't.

They don't really ever drink. So it's a little different. And that's why I need to start doing. What? Drinking? Yeah. That'd be fun. Oh, yeah.

I'm not sure about that. Here's why. First of all, it'd be fun for Eddie because he'd know I'd pay for it every time we went out. That's true. It'd just be like, hey, I got them, boys. Hey, you guys thirsty? Bones, we're all thirsty. Everyone, let's go.

Yeah. Then my Shirley Temple Bill will be way down, too. But then you wouldn't do that because... I get dirty Shirley. But you kind of like, you can't just have one kind of thing. That's why I don't drink. That's why I've never had a drink. Because if I have, I'll be the best drinker around.

Yeah. It'd be a competition. I'll start a TV show. Do you imagine how much fun you would be? Drink it with stars. That's like you? Everybody gets like a mirror ball beer mug. You get a drink out of it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kevin and Connecticut's on. Hey, Kevin. Hey, Bobby, how's it going? Hey, good. I think you bring up a good question. So tell the show here what you want to know. Yeah, so I'm just curious to know if, because you said you were going on some of the

Dancing with the Star tour dates. And I'm curious if those hardcore dancing with the Star fans may boo you when you come out. That's a funny question, right? Because I go out, December 15th, 16th, 18th, all these dates are coming out. Really soon, Columbia, South Carolina, Augusta, Georgia, Birmingham, Alabama, and I'm going out to all the dancing with the stars people. I'm the guest. Like, I'm the special, what do they call it, celebrity guest. Yeah, special guests.

And will they boo me? Around the room, Amy. That's valid. Yeah, you might get booed. Why would I get booed? I did nothing wrong. I know you didn't, but I just worked as hard as I could. We know, Bones.

I really try. What do you think about this, Kevin? You think I'll get booed? Well, I think the dates you brought up are probably good dates to go to. Christmas Spirit coming up. Oh, yeah. And also, it's strategic that I'm going to South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Oh, okay.

You know? Those are your people. You know, there's a reason. Like I said, you boys not going into Canada. Right. You know, I'm not up in, whatever, whatever. Will I get booed, Amy at all? Oh, yeah.

By one or two. I don't know. It'll happen. Oh. I mean, he brings up a good point, the caller. Lunchbox? People are not happy. Boo!

Oh, boo birds will be there? Oh, the boo birds, because, listen, those message boards, those people are all over America, so there's going to be some in Georgia, there's going to be some in South Carolina. People will boo. Hecklers. Eddie? Yeah, bones, they're going to boo you. Wow, everybody thinks I'm getting boo?

They may even throw stuff on the stage. What? Yeah. Like dance shoes, old dance shoes. But it's your turn to, like, to prove them wrong. When they see you live, they're going to be like, okay, I didn't see those steps on TV. I don't have to prove anything. anything wrong. I am the champion.

Listen, let me say this. I've paid my dues time after time. Really? I've served my sentence. The thing is, I've committed no crime. Here's the thing, though. Bad mistakes. I've made a few. Has it been a better roses? No.

Why? You know, I consider it a challenge that I never lose. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because... Because I am the champions, my friend. Yeah, he was doing the lyrics. Got it. No, I get it now. Kevin, shall I be booed? Go ahead.

Well, I think you will be. I would not boo you, but I just want to give a shout out to the sore losers' podcast because they were talking about with Braun James being booed returning to Cleveland, so that's where I came up with the idea for that question. There you go, Lunchbox's podcast. Callers coming in. Well, listen, Kevin, I appreciate you for listening. Thank you so much, buddy. Have a good day. I appreciate you guys, too.

All right, there he is. But the valid question, will I get booed for doing absolutely nothing wrong? I didn't even leave a team. All I did is go and work hard every day and show that sometimes the underdog can win. I was the last ranked person on that reality show. Yeah, so what happens if you come out and they do go, boo! Boo! Like really?

What happens? What would you do? Nothing. The same thing I do when the people write bad things about me smile and be like... You didn't give them the bird? Nothing? No. Bite your thumb or what are?

Listen, people that are angry or often angry. themselves, not at other people. So I would just say, you know, I'm sorry that you feel that. I'm a heart of it. I'm sorry you feel that way, but I came to dance. And then that goes into, oh, boom. So three months ago when I started this show, I didn't know what I was doing. Oh, boom.

Three months later, I'm still clueless. Yeah, and they're still like, boom. Well, I go out on the 15th. It's coming up, too. I got to go dance on tour. Now I'm nervous about it Well, thank you for the calling For making me anxious about it

I'm gonna bring my friend Jimmy Allen on in a second Who by the way, his song Best Shot Was the number one song for two weeks in a row Here's a clip of that Jam. He's on the phone right now Jimmy

Yo How you doing buddy? My man, doing good Just on the tour bus We just got the San Antonio It's early in the morning, right? So I called and woke him up To talk about something specific, because I love Jimmy.

He's been on the show a bunch. But I didn't call to celebrate you today, Jimmy, which normally is this thing. I like for you to come in. I like for you to sing. Jimmy, I'm hearing that you think Paul McCartney is dead. I am, I watch this thing called The Last Testament of George Harrison. And it's so crazy. So my buddies showed it to me a couple years ago.

And I'm like, do I believe it really? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, it was very entertaining. So, well, Jimmy, I'm being told that you are so diehard that Paul McCartney is really, whoever's Paul McCartney right now is not the real Paul McCartney. How do you really feel about this? Absolutely. It's kind of like I'm torn in the middle.

I'm like, well, even if it's true and it's not, it doesn't matter. He's the Paul McCartney that's been there allegedly since, you know, 1966. Okay, so you're very specific about these years. Now we're getting to the base of this. So right now, Jimmy Allen's on. And 50% of Jimmy Allen thinks that Paul McCartney died years ago, right? So how did he die? I don't know.

I can't remember. And you think he's been replaced, though, with a new Paul McCartney? In 1966, according to this Netflix DVD. It could be completely just crazy. But you know, like, it's totally, it's so entertaining. It, like, sucked me in. I was like, oh, my gosh, this is amazing. But then like one of my

He's also like Well Jimmy said you believe like I said hey Hey hey hey And Avril Avivine by the way It's supposed to not be alive You know Really?

She was apparently replaced as well Whenever Are you serious? Oh boy Now Jimmy's gonna go on this way I go find a DVD Because he Hey Mike Dee

Were you the one talking to Jimmy about this Yeah I think Jimmy's like on the air now He doesn't want to say He thinks Paul McCartney's really dead What do you tell you Mike Dee? No he told Eddie Oh I told Eddie

Yeah so he told me I was talking to Eddie Okay I thought A to watch it, too. I was like, you need to watch this. He told me that it's okay because the, the Palmer Courtney we know today is, even if it's the fake one, we are still believing that that fake one is the real one. Okay. So the Palm McCartney we see, like, on TV today, that's the fake one.

Yeah. And he's die hard. And he's die hard. He even said that he's like the explanation of how he died and everything. It all makes sense. If you watch, Jimmy, talk about the Abbey Road album where they're walking across the street and what that means. Oh, man. So allegedly, according to this documentary that's so entertaining, it's so that allegedly, they said, Paul, like, he's walking because he's their foot.

That means he's dead, and then the person in the front, I think it's George Harrison and all white is like the pastor. Then they said the person, you're like, the gene is supposed to be a ground worker from a funeral home. It's crazy. You've got to watch. Now we're getting into the real stuff here. Okay. Well, listen. And by the way, let us take a second and celebrate you, my friend.

You had two week number one. Look at this guy right here. Oh, man. There he is. It's an honor to talk to the man in the mirror ball this morning. Yes, there he is. The man in the mirror ball. Hey, Jimmy, go back to bed.

Want to know what you thought about the Beatles. And now we know that you think Paul McCartney has been replaced by a new Paul McCartney. All right, buddy. Talk to you soon. All right, there he is. Jimmy Allen and his conspiracy theories. It's funny, huh? I could tell he was a little timid.

That's not how he talked to me. If I could tell, too, he's like, oh, should I even say this on the air, I could tell he really believed it, though. He thinks Palm McCartney's dead. There you have it, huh? You know you should be glad. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So across the country, we're seeing fewer and fewer people applying to become police officers,

and even in stuff like on the national level, like the FBI, which is consistent. considered an awesome, like, glamour-type job in law enforcement. They've seen a sharp decline in applications as well, like, less than 10,000 than they normally get, which is crazy to me. So it means I think we need to show more appreciation towards police officers and show kids that it's cool to do that. And people want to grow up to be a police officer, right? Well, I wouldn't because I'm a big baby.

Oh, well, yeah. So I don't know that it's, we don't appreciate. Like, I appreciate so much. I would never do it, Amy. I just don't have it in me. There's no way I'm risking my life because I'm a big baby. I'm big pansy. That's why I do appreciate.

So it's also, I think, this selfish culture that we're in where it's all about us, us, us. You know, you've heard this song, us, us, baby, you know? I haven't, no. Us, us, baby. Is that a parody to cold? Too cold, no. Oh. I just think we're in much more of an us culture.

Yeah. Way less of a serving culture, which obviously would wish was different. but I would probably credit that more so than any sort of lack of appreciation. You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. What else?

Okay, so there's a Facebook post going viral from a woman who canceled her baby shower because her family mocked the baby name that she picked. So because her family is making fun of her, she's like, oh, baby shower canceled. The name? Squire Sebastian Senator. And that's only his first name.

And she says no nicknames. The family has to refer to him by Squire, Sebastian, Senator, full name all the time. You know, at first I thought, I think this family's being a little ridiculous. But if you're going to tell me I got to call that baby Supercalifragilistic XB. Alidotius every single time, I'm probably not going either. These people that put these rules on things, like, you must do this at my wedding. Did you see the wedding one color-coded by weight?

Did you see that? What was color-coded by weight? This wasn't part of my pile, but it's another story that went viral because a woman sent out invitations and you had to wear a certain. color based on your weight. Like, let's say you weigh 160, you wear green. If you weigh 180, you wear orange. Okay, so here's what I want to say, right? First of all, I don't know that I believe these stories always.

Oh, okay. Secondly, people have every right to make these ridiculous demands. Also, people have every right to just not go and be like, this is all crazy. So I don't know if I believe all of them, but if I don't want to call the baby Sasquatch the third, whatever his name baby is, then you don't have to. But... Yeah. I'm sure it's probably not true, but that's why it wasn't in my pile.

But it just made me think of it when you said that. This poor baby. You're going to grow up with that name. What's that baby's name again? Oh, hold on. Exactly. It's a whole page. You got to go back to your page with the baby's whole name on there.

Squire Sebastian Senator. And that's just his first name? That's just the first name. Not even going to be friends with them. I thought I got to call them. I don't know the middle name yet or the last name. Tough life ahead. Squire, Sebastian, Senator.

Yeah. All right. What else, Sam? Oh, which, speaking of a baby. Oh, never mind. I don't know if this is up. No, I don't know if it's out there yet. Oh, you mean like secret unknown tip?

Like hot off the press? I don't know if it's out there. I haven't been paying attention to things announced about a baby, but. Somebody pregnant that is famous that you know that we don't? That you know, yeah. Oh, I do. Okay, I'll be quiet. Next story, please.

Okay, so a principal. I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. I'll text you. Okay. Okay, a principal banned candy canes because they're in the shape of a J for Jesus. And they were really her goal. There's no way.

This is true. This is a, yes, yes it is. It happened in Nebraska. The school district wound up suspending the principal for the decision. While her goal was to remove anything religious themed, they think she took it a little too far by removing everything that could possibly even allude to anything religious. Here's what I'm saying. This isn't true.

There's no way this is true. Because you have to remove the alphabet, J. You can't put alphabets up on letters up on the board that start with J. Well, I can tell you a step further what she was referring to. She said, when you turn the candy cane like a J, it's for Jesus. And then the red in the candy cane could quite possibly represent the blood of Christ. There's no way. Amy, you're just not going to commit to me that there are sane people that are saying this that are running schools.

This came from Fox News. I don't care. I don't care if it came from Santa himself. I am not believing this is a real story because people are not this dumb. And we do the bonehead story on the show every day. And there are some dumb people. I'm not believing that this might be the story they're putting out there. The principal at Manchester Elementary School identified by Fox affiliate KPTM as Jennifer

Sinclair sent out a memo earlier this week with guidelines as to what is considered appropriate for classroom decorations and assignments. On the list of what's inappropriate was Candy Cains for the reason that I gave you. Also, that's not Fox News. That's a Fox affiliate. Totally different things, by the way. It's a Fox affiliate, but Fox News had it on their website. You're not going to make, I refuse in my Christmas spirit to believe that someone is going to ban candy canes because of the letter J for Jesus.

And it's not even a J. It's candy cane. Teachers were told that generic winter themed items such as sledding and scarves and the frozen character, Olaf, were acceptable. This is real. My heart refuses to believe this. So fake news, Christmas rules, everything else drools. That's it. But that's stupid, huh?

If that's real, that principle, they're done. Okay, yeah. It's not even about the Christmas stuff. It's about what a dumb decision. That doesn't, it's not a real thing. Yeah, I mean, it's real because she was put on administrative leave. The blood of Christ because it reds in a candy cane. Mm-hmm.

She should be put on administrative forever. All right. Okay, I mean, that's my pile. Bobby Bones Show Amy, you watch Narcos Mexico on Netflix? Yeah, I didn't even know it existed until it started popping up

because obviously we watched all the other Narcos type shows and it's pretty good. I mean, not going to lie. I don't know what it is about these drug kings that I'm obsessed with, but I even found myself in one episode not wanting this one dude to get busted and I was like, wait, what am I doing?

No, DEA all the way, bust this guy like Team DeM. But I didn't watch anything past the Pablo Escobar ones. Would I still like this one? Yeah. No. Listen, you need to go El Chapo first. Oh.

And then, yeah. I'm just not into it like you are. I just, I've, I've, I. Okay. For some reason, Amy, you have such like this empathetic, sympathetic heart until it comes to drug dealers. Yeah. And you're totally in.

And me, I always am, I'm the opposite. I'm like, I'm not in on that. I'm like, I don't want, I just found myself caught up in this one episode, not wanting the guy. I was like, don't get on the place. plane. I was like, wait, get on the plane. But you watched all of El Chapo and like, he's fascinated with it.

Or watched both seasons of Narcos, Pablo Escobar, whatever, then yes, all of El Chapo. And then now we're watching Narcos Mexico, which I'm waiting for El Chapo's character to show up. Not character, this is real life. I'm waiting for him to show up because I know he ties in with these guys somehow. But I think he's younger when this is happening.

He wasn't the El Chapo that he is now. So, I don't know. man, I didn't not want to be in Guadalajara or Tijuana or Mexico City during these times. I don't want to be there now. Right.

I have a friend that works in the government and what's funny was he was talking about Qatar, right? And they're doing like the World Cup's in Qatar coming up or something some soccer thing. And he goes, hey,

he goes, is it safe to go to Qatar? and my friend who works for like the government in D.C. He goes, you know what? People from other countries ask me the same thing. Like, is it safe to come to D.C.? Oh, really? They hear all the stories. And he says the same thing.

He goes, it just depends what part you go to. Huh. He was like, if people ask you that about Mexico City, because he works as like, whatever. You know, he just travels a lot. We'll say that. And he's like, you know,

it's not safe to go to some parts of D.C. I'll be honest. But some parts, it's really safe. You just kind of have to know. And I thought that was a really wild perspective. Because you're right. I could say that about Nashville. Like, is it safe to come to Nashville?

Yeah, generally. But there are some awful houses I wouldn't send you behind. Right. Some people are scared to come to my neighborhood. I'm like, it's all good. I am. I'm scared to go to your neighborhood. Oh, it's fine.

I see on the news what happens at your neighborhood. Like two houses down. Yeah. East Nashville Chapo is over there. Two houses down from Amy's house. I mean, yeah, I guess. I mean, I go to Haiti all the time. People are, like, terrified to go there.

We even get email warning notifications, like, day before trips from, like, the U.S. government saying you might not want to go to Haiti. And then we go and we're like, oh, so beautiful today. And I'll be like, Amy, what are you doing? Amy, you'll get an email going. Hey, you might not want to go to Haiti tomorrow and Amy already didn't go. But it might do. So, here we go.

We're going to go. We'll see you tomorrow. Have a great day. I got to go to American Idol. I'm here all day today. All this week. But that's what I'm doing. Amy, what are you doing?

Just catch it. Like, seriously. I'm like winter shopping for the kids because when we go to Colorado with them, they have to be warm and they don't really have anything. So my mission is to try to find them the warmest things possible. Get them a coat. That's a good mission. Well, a coat is a good start, but I really think they need like full bib situation. A bib actually. Okay. Thank you. See tomorrow. Bye everybody. All right. If you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
