More Studio! Morning! Get a big announcement later on this show. May I have possibly one of the best. biggest, maybe top five ever? Pretty big. Right? Yeah. What do we say top five ever? Oh yeah. We would?

Yes. Okay. Well, that's happening later. I'm not quite sure when. But it is, so I don't want to tease. I tell you, I had to go to the doctor this morning, though. If I sound just a bit sick, it's because I'm just a bit sick. I go and they have these 24-hour clinics where you can go in and

they minute clinic you. So I go, Hey, Siri. I don't want to say it to like, hey Siri, find me a minute clinic. And he's like, wait down, one clinic, 17 miles away. It's the only one open. And I'm like, dear God, it's 3 o'clock in the morning. What are supposed to do? So I drive over and I go, hey, I'm here because I got a little, like, woke up with the sore throat.

My body was aching. So for sure I have Ebola, right? But for sure, it's just not going to be a good life. So I go in and I'm like, you know, and I walk in. I'm pitiful. When I walk in, I'm like, eh. Bobby not. feel good.

And I fill out my name. And you know, they say it from everyone. Like, oh, feel good. I need extra attention. And so, because I'm such a baby when I'm sick. I'll work through it, but I'm such a baby. And I'm like, I probably didn't eat some medicine. And it gets better fast you can.

And so, like, come on, back, sir. And so I'm like, playing it up a little bit. You know, you call and sick to work. You're like, I'm not feeling good, but still I'm kind of like, oh, back hurt. And no, really. I woke up with a really bad sore throat. And so I'm nervous because I really, it's a really bad time for me to get sick.

Not there's ever a good time, but we're going to announce up that today, it's just a bad time. And so they go, we're going to do a strep test on you. And I say, okay. And so they take out the big Q-tip, and they stick into your throat and they rub it around. It's like, blah, blah, blah. They pull it out and they test it, and they go, it's negative. Oh, they got you. That's right.

I'm like, whoa. Oh, okay, yeah. So no strep throat, because my throat feels a little cutty. right? So they say, okay, well, we're going to do the flu test. And I go, all right. And they said, well, this was going to take about 15 minutes. And I said, all right, what I need to do?

They said, lay down. Well, when you lay down, things get a little more intense. So I lay down, and they pull out an even bigger Q-tip. It's like a Z-tip. It's so big. Keep going down the alphabet. Right. I lay down, and they, you know how when you put vizine in your eyes? You jerk your head real quick?

Yeah. So they're shoving this thing down my nose. All the way to like, oh. Why? Because they have to get the very, very deep part of it. About the first time they go in, I go, who? And I pull away. And like, sir, you can't do that.

And I'm like, ma'am, I didn't want to do that. Which is natural reflex. So then they take it and they're like, sir, they stick it in again. I go, woo! And I pull it out. They got a little further, but not all the way. She's like, sir. Like babies can do this.

And I'm like, all right. So I lay back And I say, is there another nurse here? She said, yeah, can she come hold my head down? Oh my gosh. And so they brought in the nurse to put her hands on my forehead and hold me down. And they stuck that thing in.

And I think that with that Q-tip, they tickled the thing in my throat. They got so deep. The little thing. The bell thing? Yeah. And so they pulled it out. And it took 15 minutes. They brought it back and they said, sir, the flu, negative.

Yes. Yes. So I said, so what's up then? She said, well, you have a disease known as awesomeness. And I'm like, oh, well, duh. You're so dumb. You got diagnosed with that? Yeah, so now I've been diagnosed the awesomeness.

Bad case of the awesomeness. I have crazy allergies, but I have some sort of bacterial thing that's not contagious and that I can keep working. And I had a mask in the office. And Amy's like, what's up with that mask, loser? I didn't say loser. You heard, you felt the loose. Tone. Tone.

That's a narrative you just made up in your head. Tone, though. For sure, for sure, loser tone. Okay. Yeah. And so, I'm here.

Went to the dog. I had a whole morning. Well, thank you for powering through. Well, no, no. I really appreciate it. If I would have had the flu, I believe you can play hurt, but not injured.

I'm a little hurt right now. And hurt, you can fight through. If you're injured, you just make the injury worse by playing on it. So I'm playing hurt today, but I'm good. Got an announcement today.

Today's a good day. The Bobby Bones Show. Three stories. It's producer Ramundo. Hurricane Florence is headed to the East Coast. It's going to make a direct hit somewhere in the Carolinas. Landfall is going to be Thursday night, Friday morning. In other news, the Los Angeles Area Hospital was evacuated after reports of an active shooter.

A man has been arrested. Luckily, no shots were fired. And finally, new facial recognition technology at airports has busted a second person trying to enter the country illegally since it was installed three weeks ago. So if you're trying to use somebody else's passport, you're going to get caught. Bobby Bones show. If you're new to the show, just a quick history of how it started, I was doing a show by myself, and I had no money.

He was making no money. I was broke as a joke. And I just started bringing in my friends. And I met this guy who was delivering sandwiches at Jason's deli with no radio experience whatsoever. And he was obnoxious, but he was awesome, and he was funny. And I said, hey, man, why don't you come in? And he came in and worked part-time. He never even had a microphone.

And for a year he didn't have a microphone. He would just go out and be on the street and scream from the corner. And that guy's lunchbox. He's been my longest co-host here on the show. And every once in a while, even though we've been together, how long lunch? Since 2003, however many years that is. 15 years. Yeah.

Even though we've been together 15 years, he says something that I go, I cannot believe that's even real. And he said something a couple days ago, and it's on our extra show that we do on the podcast. The guy does not keep a calendar. He doesn't keep a calendar on his phone. A note. He keeps no notes. He just remembers by his mind. And it blows my mind.

Today is Wednesday lunchbox. What are you doing today? I have a soccer game at 615 at Rose Park. And that is my schedule for the day. All right. What about Thursday? Thursday, I got kid power at 430 to 630, where I go and volunteer with the kids after school program.

Then that's it. Okay. How about Friday? Friday is open. Nothing going on this weekend. Wide open. Wide open. And he keeps his entire calendar just in his head.

Yeah. Which is a little bit mind-blowing. Amy, your thoughts? I mean, I don't know how he does it. I mean, at first my mind was really, really blown. And then when he broke down his schedule and it was like one thing a day, maybe, and then several days that were wide open. Then I was like, oh, maybe it's not so hard.

Hey, what are you doing next week? Lunchbox, anything next week? Yeah, next week, Monday night, 7.10, 715, really. You got to get there 710. Soccer game over at Vanderbilt Stadium. And then Wednesday, I have a game at 815. co-ed at Rose Park. I have a, my kids'

doctor's appointment is also Monday for the shots. It is at 1145. What about Tuesday? You forgot to say Tuesday. What's happening? Oh, Tuesday's wide open. Oh, wide open.

Wide open on Tuesday. Tuesday's off day. Okay. Wide open. I mean, I am impressed with the location. Not only does he keep up with the time, but he knows if his game is at Vanderbilt

or if it's at Rose Park. No calendar whatsoever. Blows my mind. I mean, I have to look at my phone. hour by hour. But again, I put myself in that place, and I do envy lunchbox a bit for being able to do that. Yeah, you guys stress yourself out with too much stuff on your calendar.

See, what you do is you keep it wide open, so it's pretty easy to remember what you got going on. I didn't think about that wide open effect. Yeah. You got a lot of wide open. It's probably not hard to remember things that aren't. Exactly. When there's something on there, it's like a, what do you call that,

an abomination of, no. Oh, boy. Now he's trying to use big words. Anomily. What? All of those will kind of work, but none of them really do. That being said, we do have an update because we are going to our I-Heart radio music festival coming up in just a couple weeks. And Lunchbox wanted to go, but his wife said, hey, we have a new baby.

You can't go. Update is, Lunchbox? Las Vegas, get ready! Your boy is coming. I am cleared for takeoff. That is right. I am flying into Las Vegas. Yes, yeah.

Now, my mother-in-law is going to come up and stay the weekend with my wife to just, you know, because she's a little nervous first weekend by herself, so she has a little support. And so I have booked to go. So next Friday, I will be on the plane at 1145. Mark it. Then you write that down. Are you going to go hard?

Oh, yeah, I got to go hard. I'm going to Vegas. I mean, here, this is like a, I'm coming full circle because I went to Vegas. The weekend before my son was born, I got home, and the next day, it's time to have a baby all of a sudden. So now I'm going to go hard in Vegas and be like, what? Well, so there's your lunchbox update of the day. Luke Bryan launched a new record label called 32 Bridge Entertainment.

It's with UMG Nashville, and he signed his first artist, John Langston. I know John Langston a little bit. Yeah, good for him. Good for John Langston. They got sells like crazy, too, so that would be interesting to see. What else you got? CMT unveiled the first all-female artists of the year lineup, up the list of honorees include

Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Kelsey Ballerini, Marin Morris, Little Big Town's Karen and Kimberly, as well as Lady Anabellum's Hillary. Yeah, good for them. Really? Good for them. Because it's just going to take people doing things where you just go, all right, we're just going to shove this in your face

and let you see that you like it. Because otherwise it hasn't been working. That's why I started my show. I know it's a bit obnoxious to go, I'm just shoving a show on your face full of all women. I get it. But sometimes it takes obnoxious measures to make people realize what great things they're missing. So CMT and Leslie Fram, I absolutely salute you, and you're going to get a little backlash, but who cares? Because I feel like we're going to be

on the right side of history. All right, what else? Carrie, Underwood is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on September 20th. Good for her. I think Simon Cowell's going to be there. I watch some of that America's got talent. Simon Cowell's looking pretty old, but I guess he is getting kind of old, huh? Yeah, I mean, I'm getting old. We're all getting old. It happens. Yeah, it does. All right, is that it? Yep, I'm Morgan number two. That's the skinny. It's time for the good news.

With Bobby. Tell me something good. Imagine this, Amy. You're driving down the road, and you hear somewhere in your car the following sound. Meow. You don't know where. But in your car, you continue to hear,

and you're driving, and you're going, where is that cat coming from? Meal. So eventually, you have to pull over. So she pulls over. Her name was Cindy Juarez. I kept hearing this meow. Turns out the kitten

was inside the wheel of her car. Oh my gosh. She calls the mechanic. They come and take the call off. Save the kitten's life. It's now her kitten. The cat was born somewhere in the neighborhood, crawled into her wheel.

She drove down the road with her head and saved it. Now it's her pet cat. Tell me there's ever a better story in the cat country. I'll disagree with you. I mean, cat-wise, pretty solid. It's a solid catwise story. That's correct.

That's a tell me something good right there. Thank you. Bobby Boneshow. Bonehead. Gorry up the day. This story comes to us from Beaumont, Texas. A 17-year-old kids working at the grocery store and he's picking up carts in the parking lot. He finds a wallet.

It has $1,500 in cash in it. Wow. 17-year-old turns it in. All right. And then what happens? He slipped on a banana pill? No. He had $1,500 there in his pocket he could have had, and he turned it in.

Then what happened? Yeah. Yeah, did he get hit my car? Where's the bonehead? Well, he's 17 and in high school. He could use that $1,500. Oh, so what you're saying is he's a bonehead for turning it and doing the right thing. Yes.

Because in your mind, he should have just kept the cash. Abs. No one would have ever known. It's like you're out there picking up carts when I would find things in the carts. I kept it. Yeah, what if someone accidentally left it behind and needed it? Well, they should have been a little more responsible with their items. So what about you?

If you leave your phone, you leave it somewhere. Hey, bye. Finders keepers, but please return my phone. My phone is pretty important. That's his rule. What is? Finders keepers. Well, I don't agree with that bonehead today.

Amy, your thoughts on that? Oh, yeah, no, no way. Return the money. The 17-year-old's awesome, and I hope he got a reward. Yeah, do you know if he got a reward? Let me see. It does not look like, I don't see anything about him getting a reward in here. Well, his heart did.

And you know what? Jesus. Oh, he rewards him for sure. Yeah, he's happy to. All right. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Folks, it's your buddy and mine.

Mr. Bobby Bow. Time for another round of the game that, well, everybody loves. It's Amy versus Lunchbox. To my left, my co-host in many years, mom of two. Sweetest person on the planet. Amy! To my right. Thank you.

Yes, yes. To my right, always wearing a Kansas Jayhawk hoodie. And usually the exact same one and he doesn't wash it. That's right. He told us yesterday he has a pair of pants. he finally watched after a year and two months of wearing them. My friend and yours, Lunchbox! Yeah, go, go, go, go.

People thought that was so gross. Yeah, yeah, me too. All right, so, I have three questions. Amy, there are men questions for you, lunchbox. They're women questions for you. You can still if the person misses it. Here we go. Amy, you are up first.

Inside the NFL is back for a 40th season. It's a TV show. What cable channel does it air? Cable? Is cable the regular channels or ESPN or something? What cable channel does it air? Inside the NFL. Cable.

Oh, Sunday, I'll you read it, awesome football. CBS. Oh, not a cable channel and not right? Oh, it's an ESPN. No, it's show. Oh, lunchbox. I'm sorry. I mess you up on that one.

I'd like to give you my formal apology. I will accept your apology most. All right. Thank you very much. Question number two. Amy. What is ludicrous's character name? in the Fast and Furious movies.

You have three options here. Dom, Roman, Tej. Roman, she says. Show me Roman. Oh, it's Tej. Lunchbox hits the chance of steal now.

Tej. Lunchbox? Tej. Are you going because she said that? No, because I believe the first one is Vindiesel, Dom. Yeah. Show me, Tej.

Yeah. Get your point, lunchbox. Amy. Final question for you. Which of these grains is used to brew Hefa-Wisen beer? And that's vison. Thank you. Yeah.

I have no idea. Never had beer. It's okay. Yeah, thank you. Rye, wheat, wheat, or rice. Wheat, barley, rye. I feel like beer could be wheat, barley, or rye. Wheat, barley.

What did my choices again? The first two. Rye, wheat, or rice? Wheat. Oh, show me wheat. Okay, how many points in there? Oh, one point. All right, lunchbox, are you ready?

Yep. Question number one. Denise Richards recently got married. Oh. Her new hubby Aaron Pfeiffer's was previously married to which Desperate Housewives star. Was it, A. Nicolette Sheridan,

B. Felicity Huffman or C. Eva Langoria. Ooh. Nick, the Sheridan, the second one. Nicolette Sheridan. Yeah. Show me, Nicolette Sheridan. Yes.

Oh, wow. Question two. The All Female Oceans 8 is out now. Yes. And you can download it. Which of these ladies is actually in the movie? Oh, boy. Anne Hathaway.

Okay. Anna Kendrick. Anna Ferris. Ooh, my wife wanted to watch this other night. We couldn't find it. Anna Kendrick. Oh, show me Anna Kendrick. No, Amy.

You have Anne Hathaway or Anna Farris? Who is in Oceans 8? Ann Hathaway. There we go. Tied up a two-to-two. Lunchbox is coming back to you now. Heidi Kloom and Tim Gunn are departing which long-running competition? Project Runway!

Wow! And they stay there. Sorry I didn't let you finish the question. I didn't want you to waste your breath. Thank you. I've been saving my breath. Yeah. Appreciate that.

Lunchbox again. I tease that Amy had a new hobby and this hobby might embarrass her kids. So you want to tell them or you want me to? You tell them because I'll just laugh. Well, I mean, I think that I've gone down this road before myself. But now my kids want to take dance lessons. Okay, go ahead. This is still cool, by the way.

I still think this is fun. They dance all the time around the house. They try to feel the music. But I just think they need a little direction. And so they've never taken a dance class. I mean, they lived in Haiti at an orphanage for all of their life. Like, they don't know what that is. So they were like, well, Mom, yeah, we'd love to try it.

We don't know until we try. So sign us up. So I started Googling studios. And I came across a studio in Nashville that offers hip-hop classes for adults and kids at the same time. Oh, no. I'm totally for the kids. Love it. I'm totally for Amy doing it.

Love it. And I think it'd be fun, but I think they'll be embarrassed by you. Class description. Oh, boy. Hip-hop flow. Open to adults and children. Clean and friendly 90s music. or style similar.

Nineties hip-hop? That is my wheelhouse. Do you think your kids will want to do it with you? I already dance at them in the kitchen all the time. Are they embarrassed of you dancing, though? I mean, they laugh when I do it, and then they mock me. But I feel like, well, they're either mocking me or they're wanting to be like me.

Yeah, that could be one of them too. I mean, I just thought if I'm dropping them off at dance class anyways, why not hop in with them? I get to spend time with them and we have a little bit of fun. Like, they win, I win. We all win. And we're all at hip hop dance class together. It sounds like you just want to go to hip hop dance class, which I think you should. Listen, I've dabbled in it before. I think like, hey, I don't know. When my husband was stationed at Fort Bragg, they offered some hip hop class for military wives.

And I was like, sign me up. Did you do it? Yes. Were you good? I mean, I was in the back row, but. That's not the question. I mean, to eight and keep a beat. Listen, I just totally geeked out when I saw open.

to adults and children. I was like, it was like, this is a sign. Will you sign, you know, do it. Will you sign up? Yeah. How much? I don't know, I have to look into that. I just saw the class schedule.

Will Amy's kids be embarrassed? Yes or no? Around the room, lunchbox? Yes. Eddie? For sure, yes. Amy? No. Okay, there you.

Let us know how you go. Sign up, let us know. Okay. Get your bones on. Bobby Bones show. Young people now prefer texting to face-to-face contact. Well, just lump me in with that group. I know. You're so young.

I just love texting. People complain about phones, and they say, you know, they have phones. They take a lot of human out of it. I'm telling you, if it wasn't for my phone, 90% of the relationships that I have would have never even started. So I do think the phone gets a bad rap. Nah, sometimes you can put it down. But I think a lot of people are like, ah, put your phones away. Are you kidding me?

I wouldn't even talk to you guys out of the show if I went for my phone. Maybe Amy. Well, I don't know. I did send Lunchbox to text for the first time and probably a year and a half the other day. Like, what did it say? Don't worry about that.

Yeah, I thought at first I was like, what? Did he send this the wrong person that I read it? I was like, no, I guess he really did mean to send it to me. I was a little shocked. Yeah, Lunchbox and I really don't text. But yeah, Eddie and I text all the time.

Eddie and I FaceTime. Amy and I FaceTime. A new survey said that 35% of young people say their favorite way to communicate is texting, even less said face-to-face. I only text and FaceTime and occasionally I'll even talk. If I'm talking on the phone,

something's, there's an emergency happening. Amy, your favorite way to communicate is? I mean, talking on the phone. And if I, yeah,

it's so true. If I call you at like, eight o'clock at night, you're like, what's wrong? Oh, yeah. And I don't know why you're shocked. My phone doesn't even really,

it's not supposed to eat or talk. Mm-hmm. It's weird. It's supposed to text and the face time. Science says hearing this song will make you happier. Are you ready? Ready.

When you need a song, take you from me to a, amazing. Science says, listen to this song from Queen called Don't Stop Me Now. Hit it. Don't stop me. I'm feeling that. Come on.

I kind of feel good. You know what? Other one I like, don't stop the feeling. When that Justin Timberlake song comes on, that always puts you in a good mood. And you know what else? The middle. Baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle? That's a good one too. Yeah.

There's a Georgia school reinstating paddling to punish students. Now I got to tell you, I got paddled. Our school got paddled. It wasn't even a thing where people were like, ooh, don't paddle. I grew up in central Arkansas at a school. We graduated 48 kids, I believe. We were the largest graduating class in years at my school. We're small town, very poor school, and it was just normal.

Like, we got licks. It was like, how many licks did you get today? and so a school in Georgia is drawing national attention after sending consent forms to parents informing them the new policy using paddling. Did anyone else get paddled? No. There was spankings at my school when I was little,

but I don't know when that stopped. Spankings. Oh, you could get to the principal. It goes, gets sent to the principal's office to get spanked. Hmm. My football coach, Coach Gandalf, would paddle me. He's about the only one. For what example?

Exactly. What would he paddle you for? Like missing a tackle? No. We would be at practice. And before he would come out, we were all just, listen, I really didn't do anything wrong. I got drilled when I wasn't paying attention. And everybody who was horse playing got paddled. And so, but yeah, we all got paddle. People got pulled out all the time. We got licks. Amy, what would you do if your school said, hey, paddling is now a thing we're going to do for your kids? No, now that I have kids and then now that I hear all these stories sometimes about some educators not making, like, the best decisions ever. I would rather be informed and I can discipline my child. Like I want to know what's happening and then I will discipline.

Lunch barge? Newborn baby, your thoughts? Absolutely not because I know the teachers had biased against me and they picked on me and would get me in trouble more than the other students. So who's to say they're not just picking on this one kid saying he's being bad when he's not being bad and they're trying to paddle him? You thought you got picked on? Oh, all the time.

My fourth grade teacher was. so mean and she picked on me and picked on me. I would go home every day and tell my parents, you need to change me out of her class. And they never did it. And it ruined school for me because she was so mean. And you weren't kind of honorary as a kid like you are now? Well, I was, but what I'm saying is sometimes she picked up. Like my fourth grade teacher did not like boys. She was mean to all the boys sit in the back of the classroom, the girls in the front. And my mom didn't believe me and she finally came and volunteered on the Valentine's Day little party

and my mom left and she was like, yep, she doesn't like the boys and we should have taken you out of her class. That's why I will not sign up my kid for paddling. All right. No, there you have it. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Bobby, you know the author James Patterson, right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, okay. Well, he's making good on his commitment to donate money to classroom libraries because obviously he believes reading is super important. And this is the fourth year of his Patterson Pledge campaign. And he's going to give $2 million this year. Oh, wow. That's a lot. Hey, lunchbox, Google James Patterson net worth. Holy crap. Oh, I mean. He must have a lot of money. And listen, all of us bestselling authors are on a text thread together and he never mentions how rich he is. Whoa. Whoa.

Oh my goodness. $790 million. Wow. I mean, he's written a lot of books. Oh my goodness. I mean, but I don't know. I need to start writing books. Well, I can tell you this. I've written two, and I am making that guy money, boy.

Holy, that's crazy. That's a lot of money. And good for him for giving money back. Okay, question. Go ahead. Does he write all those books? Yeah. Yeah, I would assume he does, yes.

That is good. Listen, I don't know what you define it. is right because I can tell you my process. If you're new to the show, I've written two books, and luckily they were both bestsellers. For me, I write different, so I write full essays, and I send off thousands and thousands of words in essay form, and my editor goes through and tells me what things I should write more on, what things that aren't good. So that's part of the creative process too. So I don't know if that's, I still write it, but at times my editor will say, you should do more on this, which is in a way creating as well.

So I would imagine he has someone that he relies on. Yeah. Maybe it's like songwriting. If he's got a book idea or a theme and a scenario and way characters go, maybe they collaborate on what should happen next. Yeah, maybe. $790 million. That's a lot.

And that's cool that he's given money back to the school there, huh? Yep. There you go. James Patterson. Hey, shout out, my buddy. I really don't have you tech number. So if you listen, hit me up, pal. All right, there you go.

Oh yeah, I had to play you guys a clip. In a minute, there's this podcast that they were talking about me, and boy, they went hard on me. What? Really hard. Hard. So much so that I said, hey, Mike D. Put in these clips. And usually Mike D just puts in the clips and,

I make fun of myself more than anyone else does. And so he even goes, ooh, they went hard on you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I believe one of the terms was an ugly version of Brian Seacrest. What? I'll play that for you coming up in a minute. Oh, that's just so not true. Well, let's just see what happens, and I'll play him in a minute.

Over to Amy first with the corny. The morning corny! Why are ice cubes so smart? Why are ice cubes so smart? Well, they have up to 32 degrees. That's, okay, okay. All right, all right, good, good. That was the morning corny.

The Bobby Bones show. There's a podcast, not familiar with it, but was led to it by some listeners called the Lady Gang podcast. Much of girls, and it's a pretty interesting show. But man, they went hard on me. Because one of my friends was a guest on the show. And someone who I thought about dating, I just haven't been over. California in a while.

There's Tanya. Yeah. She works on Ryan Sechrest Show. Oh, you just said you've thought about dating. Yeah, I'll be honest. Sure. Okay, good. I like that honesty.

So, and we talk. We do talk. Yeah. So she's on and they're talking about her dating life, right? And I get brought up. I'm talking about shots. They just Google me. Which again is the worst.

Oh, wow. They're giving their honest, right, live feedback. Immediate live feedback. Okay. Here you go. The lady gang. I know. But here, Lady Gang podcast.

Do you guys know who Bobby Bones is? Yeah. The radio guy? Yeah. Yeah. Do we like him? I'm going to Google. For you?

I thought Bobby Bones is like 50. No. He's like 30-something. He is? No for me, girl. Is he not cute? First of all, because then you'll be Tanya Bones. And I cannot.

I'm sure that's not on the radio. No. He's like an ugly Ryan. No. Okay. What? Hold that. Oh my gosh.

Diswere. Any more. It's a no for me. Oh no. Yeah, I'm getting hit pretty hard. Now, good thing that I don't take myself that seriously, and they're probably right. I'm not the best-looking guy. I know that.

Holy stop it. And this is their genuine reaction. I have to respect and appreciate someone going, Google, image, boom, nah, kind of ugly. Like, I have to appreciate the honesty. They don't know me. They're just seeing a picture, and they're going. So a little bit... This is so much worse than I thought in my head it was going to be.

This is so bad. only played one. Yeah, there's more. That's what I can't wait. Dang, dude. Should you just, like, let it run? Well, here's another 15 seconds. I don't know. I do like Bobby Bones wears foundation, and I'm not okay with that.

It's not the guy for you. If he wears foundation, if you go in, you have a sleepover and you're like, oh, I wish I would have brought my makeup to this one night stand, and then you open the door and there's foundation. That's a no. So they go in about how feminine I look. Okay, that's dumb. If they're looking at a picture of you wearing foundation, it's because you're on

TV, you're on camera, and guess what? there's tons of men out there that have to wear it. On the daily, you're not wearing foundation. No, I don't wear makeup for fun. I'm about to get really irritated here. I don't even know these girls, but I'm already irritated. What are their names? The lady gang.

And listen, it's a pretty entertaining podcast. Sure, I'm sure it is, but they're hitting you hard right now. But they're not hitting you hard for anything personal. They just genuinely do not think I'm good looking, and that's okay because that's their opinion. Like, I, as Voltaire said, I may not like what they have to say, but I will fight to the death for their right to say it. Did he say that? Yeah. And duh, you should tell them you're not doing one-nine stand.

Partheses paraphrase. Okay. Okay. Keep playing. There's the other word. You know, they say some bad words. There's more? Well, they just take some shots, but it's okay. My point is, I'm sitting here listening because I think Tanya's awesome and I'm listening.

I'm going to hear her appearance. Oh. And out of nowhere, they go in on me, and I'm like, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then I go, nah, what am I going to do? They're kind of right. I love Tanya. So why was she on there? I don't know.

I should be friends with them. I don't know. But how about that? Don't say that. They're not right. That is their opinion, but dude, you're not ugly. Get out of here. And you don't wear makeup.

Okay. Listen, I am kind of, you know, nerdy, the big glasses. And you're not 50. Right. Who are they confusing you with? Yeah, Monty. Google someone else because you're not 50, but looking at their pictures? No, I don't do that.

I don't want to do that. Oh, yeah. That's not how. We're not going to. We don't do that. We fight fire with fire. No. No, we don't.

We don't, we don't. But I am just a little... I'll plug their podcast again, too. Like, I'm down with people having opinions, even if they're not ones I agree with it. Like, I'm okay. I can't sit here and preach, especially when it gets political. I don't have to hate somebody because they have a different opinion than me. Like, I have friends, and I'll give you two examples.

Charlemagne the God in New York. It's completely different. I'm completely different. Then my friend, Clay Travis, who is on Fox Sports. they could not be different politically. And you know what? I am friends with both of them. I actually consider them both to be friends.

And they would probably fistfight each other. And you know what? That's okay for me to actually get along with people that don't... Because the only person that I'm in constant agreement with is me. And then even then I changed my mind sometimes. So my point is I thought it was kind of funny. They were banging on me pretty hard. We did laugh.

I for sure got dragged. And you guys laughed. Yeah, we laughed. An ugly Ryan? Yeah, 50 years old I think they just were basing that And then yeah

What comes up if you Google image me Is the first pictures Are they ugly pictures? Let me see Like you type in Bobby Bones Yeah, good question Because maybe they are Maybe they're pictures of me

Like asleep drooling on an airplane or something Let me see, Bobby Bones No actually the very first picture of you That came up when I did that is cuter than Ryan Seacrest But you are wearing foundation No In my opinion

No I'm not saying You are wearing makeup Yeah you are Because he's added awards. I was hosting on the CMTs. The CMA awards. CMAs.

I was on TV. Listen, the end. All I would like to do by this segment is encourage people that. I mean, now if they had looked at this picture, I don't know. Maybe that's different. That's an old one. That's from like five or six years ago. No, six years ago, yeah.

Yeah, six years ago. But still, and you're right, I shouldn't say that. I think Ryan's cute. I think you're cute. Oh, Ryan's better looking than I am. However, I will say this. I'll go after them. No, you don't know.

I will say this, that I would like to use this as an example to our listeners. Just because somebody says something that you don't like, even if it's about you, you know, it doesn't matter. Yeah. Let it go. But that still has to hurt a little bit to hear that. And you need to process that. Of course it hurts a little bit, but at least it's honest. I can deal with hurt if it's honest hurt.

Here's the good news. It's a no for them. Good because you don't want them anyway. I don't know that I don't. No, you do. I don't know that I don't. I may be attracted to all them. I have no idea.

They seem, actually, I think they're all really pretty. Well, there you have it. Pretty girls don't like me. And here we are. Oh, boy. But I'm not giving up on the whole Tanya thing. Well, let me just say, ugly Seacrest, out. Oh, man.

Bobby Boom. Come on. Sometimes you hear a song and you feel like that song is speaking to you. This has happened to me a couple times in my life. This just happened to Amy. What's the song? It's called Supermarket Flowers by Ed Shearin. And it's about the loss of a mom. And I personally have lost my mom.

I had never heard this song before. But I was shopping in this tiny little boutique and it came. came over the loudspeaker and it stopped me. And I literally stood there and listened to every word and then Googled it. I recognized that it was Ed Sheeran's voice. So that helped me Google. And when I did, I've downloaded it and I've listened to it like 10 times. And that to me was like the power of music.

Like it's something that I just related to. I was filled with emotion. I just, I mean, it hit me. That song hit me. That's awesome. So if you're new to the show Amy's mom, we lost her to cancer. How many years ago? In

October it'll be four years. And so here's the song that Amy heard and I'm assuming it brought up a lot of mom memories. Yeah, and yeah, I mean, just listen to the clip and then you'll have all the feels.

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved so I'll sing Hallelujah. You are an angel in the shape of my mind. When I fell down, you'd be there holding me up. Spread your wings as you go.

When God takes you back, you'll say, hallelujah, your home. Wow. I can't even listen to it without crying right now. I don't know. This crazy, that song is so good. And I think it came out like in 2017. I'm definitely late to the party. It's such a powerful song.

What does it make you think about specifically? For me, it makes me think of my mom like going home to heaven. Like, I was there the morning it happened. I laid with her. My sister and I were there when she took her last breath. And my mom's favorite him was, I'll fly away. And, you know, on that morning when this life is over, I'll fly away. And it talks about, I mean, in that morning, it was in the morning.

And we felt as though she was flying away. and then it was the most beautiful morning. I mean, it happened when it was still dark out. But then as me and my sister and I laid there with her for a couple hours, which is sort of creepy now that I think about it, but totally normal to us at the time. And then the sun came up and it was just the most beautiful morning. And so when I hear that and he's saying that when God takes you back,

we'll say, hallelujah, you're home. Like, I feel like that's what my mom wanted us to do. My mom wanted us to be like, you know, She's out of pain, you know, give praise because she's not here sick anymore. Sorry, I didn't know. I didn't even know hearing it just now would bring up emotion, but I'm telling you that song, hit me. I get it. Play it again.

I want to hear it again. A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved. So I'll sing hallelujah. You are an angel in the shape of my mom. When I fell down, you'd be there holding me up. Spread your wings as you go. When God takes you back, you'll say, hallelujah, your home. Man, makes me want to cry.

Well, thanks for sharing that, I am. Yeah, I'm sorry. Holy moly. I mean, but it could be a good, I think it's a powerful song, and, like, it could be healing. It could be one of those songs where if you need to get some cries out, like, turn it up. Yeah, then watch the Mr. Rogers documentary right after that. You want to totally lose all the liquid in your body? Well, I have a couple clips that mine are stupid compared to yours.

Whenever you said you found a song that made you feel like the song was kind of speaking to you, I picked a couple clips. One of them I'd shared before, but they're not super deep and they're kind of selfish. That's okay. That's okay. Like, yours is beautiful. I know, but I don't really have those moments where songs speak to me, but that song spoke to me. Okay, so the song from John Mayer stopped his train where he says,

So scared of getting older, I'm only good at being young. So I play the numbers game to find a way to say the life has just begun. And I'm like, dang, he's talking to me. Here's that clip right there. So scared of getting older, find a way to say that life has just begun. And for me, too, it's like, I don't have kids. I don't have a wife. I don't have anything like that.

So I was like, all right, I got to keep figuring out why I'm still young and why it's okay that I don't have that stuff yet, because I'm getting, I'm 38 years old. I've always, and I've always, you know, if I can have the indulgence of the room for a second. You guys, good with that? Yeah, yeah, I have it. I was always the youngest to do everything.

You know, they put me in the Radio Hall of Fame, the youngest of all time, and who cares? It doesn't, but still, it's like, I gotta figure some crap out and be 70 and be like, I'm only good to being young. So there's that one, and then there's a new Eminem song called Lucky You, and by the way

I love the new Eminem album I've listened to it probably 50 times and so it's called Lucky You and he says Coming from Humble Beginnings I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning And I was like

Oh I felt that Because I grew up super poor And now when things go right I'm like ooh This doesn't feel good This doesn't feel good So here's a clip from M&M Lucky You

So Coming from Humble beginnings I'm somewhat uncomfortable winning I wish I could say What a wonderful feeling We're on the upswing Like we're punching the ceiling So yeah

I know it was fast and the opposite of supermarket flowers? No, that, no, my husband is obsessed with the new Eminem album. Love it. Can't get enough of it. So, anyway, there's that. Amy, really, thank you for sharing your story. Oh, yeah. Well, it's good.

You're welcome. I mean, it's just, sorry. I didn't expect that to have it. Why would you be sorry for having an emotion? I don't know, because sometimes I don't want to bring people down. Never be sorry for feeling. Never be sorry for feeling. Okay, well, that's one. Dear Ed Shearin, that song makes me feel.

There you go. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. something good. A mother wanted to inspire other women to get off the couch and go out and do something. She's an ultra runner. She completed

a 112 mile race in 43 and a half hours. But during the breaks, she would breastfeed her kid. Yeah, she just had a newborn and she goes out and does these races and says, look, if I can do it, you can get off the couch. How crazy is that?

Yeah, that's all that's crazy. The fact that they run those races that are over. Listen. I'm not running a marathon. I run in a mile. I ran a mile and a half a couple weeks ago. And first of all, I thought I ran 10 miles. I was like, whoo, that's a solid 10.

I looked down on my phone. It's like 1.13 miles. I was like, well, that sucked. Secondly, she ran 100 miles. She's also breastfeeding her kid. And I never heard anything like that before. Yeah. But I mean, never. Not me.

So ladies, get off the couch. To me, it's just, no, wait, it's not about you just get on the couch. But that's what she's saying is. saying you can put down the remote, get off the couch, even if you're a mom, doesn't mean you have to sit on the couch. Okay. Also, it's just a bit of inspiration for moms everywhere that pursue your dreams

and you can be an awesome mom at the same time. How about that? How about that? I feel good about that or no. I feel great about it. I love it. Good. Thank you, lunchbox. That was Tell me something good. Folks, it's your buddy and my... Mr. Bobby Bones. Let me know.

We're transmitting across America. All right, time for the announcement. which I can finally say and I've been holding on to it and it's been leaked and I contractually haven't been able to say anything but it's super exciting

and I'm super nervous and I'm super anxious and it's all the things I'm terrible but starting in about two weeks I will be on dancing with the stars boons boons boons boads boads

so yes speech speech speech speech okay speech so it was brought to me to say hey would you like to be on dancing with the stars and I said, is this the wrong number? Did you mean to call?

And so I said, okay. So, like, who calls you? Like, one of the judges? ABC. Okay. And so, like, I really love a challenge. I love a challenge. I love it when someone tells me I can't do something.

I feel like my whole life I've been trying to prove people wrong. And I can't dance. I have no experience whatsoever. I've been training for a few days, and I'm awful. And I have a partner that's finished second three times. and she needs to win and they gave me her and I'm awful

I've had zero dance experience so it's been very difficult and I'm gonna be on Dancing with the Stars they called I've trained a few days it got leaked from us weekly and I still could say nothing about it

and some of the B Teamers saw it and they were like where are you I had to get off Twitter completely because I didn't want to be posting anything or liking anything but I will be on Dancing with the Stars this season so

yeah you know what's been weird about it is I absolutely know that I am not a celebrity, right? Like, I know that, don't get a twisted that Bob is like, oh, look at me. Absolutely not. I know I'm not a celebrity. But people take so many shots at me, they're like, man, if they're putting body bones on this show must be. Like, I get it.

No, no. I, like, I also say the same thing. It's just weird that people are so hateful about things. Mm-hmm. Especially online anonymously. Yeah. Like, what am I going to do? Say no?

Really? It's like when I was judging Miss America, people were like, wow, how stupid a Bobby? What do you mean to do? Say no. When they put me on American Idol to mentor. You remember all that? All the people on radio were like, how stupid is this? Yeah. So I can be honest for a second. It does bother me a little bit because I'm just trying to represent people,

one, that grew up in small towns and people that just like weren't supposed to do this kind of. I'm not supposed to go to Hollywood and dance on dancing with the stars. Like I'm trying to represent our people. And so that's something. how you deal with the comments? Like you remind yourself of that? I do. Because the people that say that they're not us.

And I don't mean us in the room. I mean us in general, they're listening to the show. If you listen to the show, you're like us. You're one of us. You didn't quite fit in. You weren't first picked. You weren't the A team, which is why we call ourselves the B team. And we're proud of that.

And that's who I'm out representing, I think. Yeah, I think so. So I'm going to go beyond Dancing with the Stars and more all the sequins. Mm-hmm. My partner is awesome and smoking hot And her name is Sharna Burgess So when you say smoking hot To smoking hot Amy distractingly hot

Yes So are you gonna like ask her to dinner? We've been to dinner I'm gonna say no more But okay We've spent so much time together We are Well I'm excited to meet her

I just don't want Yeah she'll come in tomorrow by the way Yeah we'll bring her on tomorrow Okay. So I will be on Dancing with the Stars in a couple of weeks. I hope to represent. And I hope people vote for me. You know me.

I hate asking for votes, but I hope people vote for me. That's all. It's okay. So are you going to take your dancing back to like Mountain Pine? You know how you used to do it? The school dances? Is that what you're going to be doing on Dancing with the Stars? I'm so clueless.

Like, you think if you just have a little bit of rhythm, you can figure it out. It's like a professional athlete. You're training with Tiger Woods to play golf if you've never played golf. And you and Tiger Woods are on the same team. Haven't you always said you can, like, percolate? Yeah, but it's nothing like that. It's a million small steps, and you're matching, it's the hardest thing I've ever had to do,

and I may embarrass myself and get kicked off the first week. There is no way we are going to allow that to happen. But I'm going to try as hard as I can. So I will be on Dancing with the Stars. One question from around the room, because we're just now getting to announce it. Let's go to Amy first. What's your one question you want to know about the Dancing with Stars process so far

that I can finally talk about? Oh, man. I have to pick the best. best one because I only get one question. We'll bring Sharna in tomorrow. Does Sharnna have a boyfriend? That's her business. You know me? I don't talk about people.

Oh. Because I'm Googling her right now and yeah, she's smoking. I don't talk about people. We've spent a lot of time together. Okay. That's all I will say. Oh my gosh. Do you think you're going to be in People magazine? For what reason?

I don't know. Because now, because when I'm checking out at the grocery store, I see like people Dancing with the Stars contestants. Like, you're on, I mean, it doesn't have to be people. It could be Us Weekly. It could be Star Magazine. It could be National Enquirer. I don't know.

Lunchbox? Body bones abducted by an alien. What do you think, lunchbox? Your one question? Well, I'm very interested in this. So who is your biggest competition that you've seen? Well, I've seen none because we don't train together, at least not yet. DeMarcus Ware from the Cowboys is a guy that I've kind of grown close to.

Have you started talking trash to him? No, I talk like, wow, we're doing this. We can't believe it. He's the nicest guy. Merrily Retton was super nice. I think I've probably gotten the closest of all the contestants to the comedian Nicky Glazer. And she's kind of a raunchy comedian, but she's awesome.

Like, super fun to be around. And so one of the Dukes of Hazard guys is on. This is a whole thing. But yeah, no, no trash. I think we're all, except for like Mary Lou Retton and like the girl that's a dancer, like an Instagram model. We all kind of are in this with just little to no experience.

So when they introduce you and they say Bobby Bones, are they going to say, like what is your description? Like what are you on there as a two times? I hope that's a radio personality. Okay, I didn't know if they were going to put out the call letters and the website. I don't know about that or lunchboxes

friend. Here he is. Lunchbox's friend. Yes, I just want to know if it was going to be like and next two time, you know, New York Times bestseller youngest person in the Radio Hall of Fame, hosts a morning show, host a weekend countdown, host a show for all women.

I don't think that's happening. Oh. I just, they can say, listen, I am what I am. I'm a radio guy. So that's it.

Eddie, you're one question? Bones, are there vagus odds for you? There will be, yes. Oh, dude. Boy,

great question. I haven't seen them posted yet, but you will be able to bet on the show. Oh, Ray would know. Yeah, for sure. Ray's like I already put money on him. Like today. I think they may go up, maybe tomorrow.

Wow, bones. Bet the farm, bet the farm, everyone. I don't know about me if you're betting it on. So there you go. I will be on Dancing with the Stars. We'll have my partner in tomorrow, Sharna, and hopefully people will watch and vote,

and even if I do bad, I hope they vote and keep me alive. Because if you keep me alive, I'll end up doing well because I'll catch up. I'm just so far behind everybody else right now. So that's it. Are we done? Morgan number two, do you have a question? Minded chance.

Our head of digital, Morgan number two, 24 years old, youngest person on the show. Yes, I do. I want to know about the outfits. Are you, like, secretly excited to wear those cool outfits? Well, if you look at the picture that I posted on my personal Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones, I am sequined out. Tons of sequins. Bring the rainstones.

Bring the sequins. I'm embracing this fully. Like, you can't put enough sequins and rhinestones on me. So let's go. Put them on my tongue. I put them everywhere. So, yes, I'm into it. Like, I am embracing it, and that's the way we do it.

So, everybody good? Yeah. Good luck, dude, good luck. There's the big announcement. And by the way, when people are taking shots of me, boy, you know how to start. I know. I know. I know.

Yeah, lights and batteries and cans. Yeah. Okay. Well, I have the things that you need in a disaster kit because more than half of homeowners are not prepared. So I feel like people listening need to get stuff like water, a three-day supply of non-perishable food. And then stuff that you like don't really think about like a portable radio so that you can listen to updates and backup batteries. Because as long as you got batteries and a portable radio, you can stay up to speed on things.

And then get this. A whistle in case you need help. Well, also, can I say this? If you get batteries and a portable radio, you can listen to us. What up? Exactly. Good point, good point. And then we'll give you the updates.

Well, quickly, a duct tape, sanitation supplies, and a manual can opener. Because you don't want to buy all those canned goods and then not have a way to open it. That would be something I would do. So a new study found that you might be able to live longer and even healthier if you drink young people's blood. I saw that. Yeah, research found that when people over the age of 35, which is pretty much all of us in the room, were injected with plasma from teenagers' blood, there was a real improvement in their biomarkers for disease. So I know it's a stretch, but one day we might just be like sipping on young people's blood.

Did anyone see the story about people drinking their own pee? Yeah, urine therapy is the new thing taking off. Wait, what? I mean, that was on like episode of, I don't know, Gray's Anatomy or something a long time ago. Is it real? Yeah, lunchbox sent a story about it. People say they drink their urine to reduce acne and lose weight.

Oh, wow. Why could they keep vomiting? No, this girl from Maryland, she's 26 years old, and she said, listen, at first it was gross, now I feel like it tastes like coconut water. Interesting. Although that coconut water, it took me a minute. I know. It does grow on you and you get used to it.

And I've been drinking a little bit of coffee too because I've had to. Yeah, because you're working so much. And it tastes terrible. So what I'm saying is don't knock it until we try it? Yeah, let's do a drawing. Everybody pee. Oh my gosh. Let's do it drawing.

Do it. I mean, it can't be bad for you. Enough. Enough. Amy, what else? Well, and lastly, demand for calf and peck implants and men has skyrocketed more than 400% over the past five years. Well, if they lower prices, enough, I might have to

investigate that myself because two things I get made fun of on Instagram the most are my calves and my pecks. That is why I don't know I thought of you when I saw that story because you've always been self-conscious about that. And I've got to tell y'all my son has no calves. Yeah, he's a skinny kid. Yeah, but I mean he has no calves. He's starting to get biceps because he like does push-ups and he's eating good and, you know, taking care of himself now. And he's like even sort of getting a six-pack now that his bloated tummies going down, but literally the kid has no caps. I'm the opposite.

My bloated tummy's going out. Oh. I only got one pack right now. Is that a day? Yeah, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. Bobby Bonds. Rap City.

And what a day. Listen, I got to announce today that I'm going to be on Dancing with the Stars. And so now I get to talk about it. It has been something that has been burning a whole of my problem. pocket for about a week and a half. I guess we've been talking about it for about, yeah, at least me and the team at ABC and the Dancing with the Stars team for about a month and a half, and it got leaked, and I finally got to announce it today.

A lot of the hardcore B-teamers knew because they see things, and I just could not respond. I couldn't, because of contractual stuff, I couldn't say anything about it. But today I did announce that I will be on Dancing with the Stars. Dun-da-da-da. Starts, I think, September 12th. 24th. Is that right? I think so.

my God, I'm going to be so bad. Listen, I just need everybody to vote for me, even if I'm terrible, unless you want me to come home. Because I'm just not going to be the best.
