This is a Bobby Bonds show. Come on, Bobby. Yeah. Welcome to Wednesday's show. Good morning. Studio. Morning. How about this?

There's a guy who set the Guinness World Record for drinking a bottle of ketchup in record time. How gross does that sound? Sounds not that bad. I love ketchup. Okay, let me come back to you. But let me talk about this real quick. A man set the Guinness World Record for drinking a bottle of ketchup. That's one of those 13-ounce bottles.

Yeah. Like the normal kind, the squeezy kind that you get at Walmart or piggily-wiggly or wherever you go. he drank the whole bottle with a straw in 25.3 seconds. Oh, with a straw. Now, that being said, Amy, you say you can do this. No, no, no, no, no. Hold on. I don't think you can break the record at all. But I will give you 10 minutes.

Wow. If you can drink a bottle of ketchup in 10 minutes, I will donate $250 to the charity of your choice. Don't make it a charity thing. Not today. Well, you're the one that said you can do it. Do you like sugar is in that? Amy, you just said out loud with your mouth.

I said it doesn't sound that disgusting. Doesn't sound that bad. I mean, I love ketchup. However, I have to limit it. Okay, so you're saying no. You can say no, it's absolutely fine. Okay, fine. I'm saying no.

Okay, that's fine. You're saying no, I can live with that. Thank you. But on this show, if you say you can do something, you get called out for it. I know, I need to watch myself. That's right. By the way, good morning, do you good?

Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, me too. Today, big announcement comes up a couple hours. I know. I know. You've been teasing it. I haven't teasing it. Boy, have I ever. Lunchbox, do you have a guess? What the big announcement is today? I think maybe you're leaving or I thought Amy was leaving, but then I look at her in her eyes today. She's not leaving. I don't know. I think maybe you go dancing with the stars because you kept doing a couple of dance references when you were in studio last week.

You're like, oh, look at this. Could I be doing this? And you'd shake your hips. And I was like, dancing with the stars is about to start. It isn't about to start, though. It's not? No. Good guess. No, it's not. But I don't know, maybe that's it. Recognizing people doing cool things.

It's ICU. Amy, listen to this one. More than 20 first responders tirelessly performed CPR on a man for more than an hour and a half and saved his life. Howard Snitzer, 54 years old, was going to buy groceries at Don's Foods.

In Goodhue, Minnesota, he collapsed, had a massive heart attack and they called 911 and they work on him for 96 minutes. They gave him CPR for 96 minutes. That's a long time. They shocked him 12 times. And he lived. Unbelievable, they spent that much time with it.

They took him to the hospital. After 10 days, he was released from the hospital healthy and grateful. Yeah, so grateful. Because, I mean, I would think, wow, I'm shocked y'all didn't give up on me. 96 minutes? Yeah. That's crazy. So to the good Hugh first responders that sat there for 96 minutes and CPRed him and shocked him, that's awesome.

I see you. I see you. The Bobby Bone Show. Big three stories. It's producer Raymond and President Donald Trump announced he's trying to ban bump fire stocks, which make it easier to fire gun rounds more quickly. They expect the new regulations to happen pretty soon. In other news, we're now finding out about a Maryland teenager who had a gun and knife at school last week. Student ended up being spotted by one of his classmates,

alerted authorities in time preventing a school attack. And finally, in Olympic news, your medal count in first is Norway with 30. The USA is in fifth place with 13 total medals. Producer Raymond is our audio producer. He sits in a glass room and is always editing audio all the time throughout the show. And producer Raymond is also what he likes to call a recreational bodybuilder, right? Yes. He lifts a lot of weight all the time

And sometimes he gets really swole How swole would you say you are right now, Raymond? 180 and BMI 10 probably So you're 5, 6, 180? Yeah Just comparison I'm 6 foot 156 Yeah

Wet, wet, yeah So I'm going wet right now So here's the thing about Raymond He goes to the doctor because he's been getting sick and recreational bodybuilder Raymond is now allergic to what Raymond? Protein. Whoa! Wait, all forms?

Well, I mean, he said whenever it goes over 20 to 30 grams, so no more protein shakes. I can't do my protein bars when I do those. I can't do a large steak, chicken, an omelet, if it has a lot of eggs in it. I've just been having the weirdest reactions to eggs and stuff like that. And he said, yeah, it's protein that you're allergic to. I've never heard of that in my entire life. Isn't that crazy? That's what all he eats because he wants to get buff all the time.

What are you going to do? Bring on the salads. I'm going to have to stick to those and then also the grains, but I'm not going to be able to do all the protein that I used to. I used to probably 180 grams of protein a day. That's probably how you got to look. You're supposed to do your body weight. I used to do 180 pounds a day.

I don't know. You're just to be your body weight. Body-weighting protein. So Raymond, our bodybuilding producer has been told he's allergic to protein. Yeah. He overdosed. That is funny. Well, Raymond, good luck, buddy.

You're going to be like me soon. Blowing in the wind. Time for your positivity around the room with a Tell Me Something Good. Amy. Members of the Mountaineer Boys and Girls Club in West Virginia wanted to help other children who were less fortunate than them. So they started creating welcome boxes for kids from troubled families who were separated from their parents. Inside, they included nightlights, snacks, and games. And I just person who say, like, nightlights, like, if a child is taken out of, like, the comfort of their own home for

whatever reason and placed in a temporary home, at least with my kids, I see they want lights on all the time because they're scared to sleep. So I thought it was super cool that the kids thought to put nightlights in their boxes. That's cool. Back in 2018 as a family in Pennsylvania, they were sad because their dog ran away and didn't return. Well, they moved out of the house. Ten years later, the dog shows up on their old porch. Ten years. And the neighbors, like, what's up with the dog?

And so they get it that chip checked, and it has the family's name. And they're like, yeah, that's our dog from 10 years ago. We used to live in your house that you live in now. Wow. It's that dog. That's amazing. And it remembered where it was living 10 years ago. Where has it been all this time?

I don't know. I don't know. That dog's got a story. We need to know it. Lunchbox. Showtime wrestling likes to put on a good event, and they also like to give back to the community, so they were in Wisconsin.

They're like, what can we do for the community? We'll get some cans for the food bank. So $2 off every ticket if you brought a can good, and they raised thousands of pounds for the local food bank. Wow. That's awesome. Wrestling. It might be fake, but their hearts are real.

Oh, boy, he's waiting on that one. He was looking for any reason to throw that in there. There we go. Bobby bones. Bobby bones. So millennials aren't using email as much. And so when young people aren't using it, usually it catches up and ends up dying. So let's just say emails on the way out because people are using social media so much more.

They're using Insta story to talk to people, text message. So emails out, what else do you assign as to being out? I'll go first. Movie theaters. Oh, God. You always say this. It's true. I went to watch Black Panther.

And as I was sitting in there, this is for the birds. This is not for me. to sit in someone else's room that's all gross and chairs. The food's too expensive. I had to drive there. I had to fight parking. Movie theaters, as we know them, in the next 10 years, are gone. They'll still be the occasional one,

but everything's going to come to your screen. It's your computer or your phone. Movie theaters are on the way out. Amy, what's on the way out? Facebook. Wow, really? What? I don't think so.

Go ahead. I saw millennials, if they're onto this whole email thing, I saw that less and less young people are using Facebook. And honestly, that's the social media I rarely get on. I'm always on Instagram and Twitter. Facebook, don't even touch it. I mean, maybe I should, but. Lunchbox?

Cash. Oh, yeah. Go ahead. Nobody carries cash anymore. It's all credit card everywhere you go. There's restaurants that are credit card only. They don't even accept cash. These people aren't going to understand what it's,

like to hold a bingy in their hand and pull it out and press people at the bar and be like, yeah, I want to get a rounded drinks. Cash is on the way out, and I hate to say it because I love cash. Eddie? Stores, like brick and mortar stores, they are on their way out because of Amazon. Everyone's going to order online. We're not going to have any stores to walk in anymore, not even grocery stores. That's on the way out.

I mean, I feel like we're just putting earth in this terrible place where nothing exists anymore except online. Right? Is there anything goofy, though? I thought maybe someone would come with a TV show or. something. Something somewhat trivial. You know what's on the way out?

Go ahead. The real world. Oh, that's been out. I know. I don't think MTV's making another real world. It hasn't been on in like a year and I don't see any plans of them recording a new season.

They'll still do the challenges, but I'm worried the real world is on the way out. Anybody else want to add to this? Yeah, I got another one. Go ahead. Manual transmissions. What? I have one.

No. You rarely find them anymore. Most of them, you have to custom order because on the lot, there's not any there because all these kids, they want everything automatic. Anything else, lunchbox? Yeah. Go ahead one more. The post office. Oh, yeah.

That's true. Because they're losing billions of dollars a year and everybody just pays online so all these mail carriers, they're going to lose their jobs. Stamps.com, shout out. Yep. Yep. Anything else, lunchbox. Man, that's about it that I can think of right now. Okay, appreciate that.

Oh, I know another one. Go ahead. Taxi cabs. They're out of here. TikTok. I'll tell you what else. Airplanes. Bobby Bones show.

Boney up the day. This story comes to us from Gwinnett County, Georgia. A man robbed two banks and he got away, no problem. Well, the news was out doing a story on traffic, and he was like, oh, man, I'll give my opinion on traffic. Oh, come on. After he robbed the banks? Yeah, so he gets on camera. He's like, man, yeah, I think it's a great idea.

They're going to have a bus system out here now because it's hard to get around. They're like, man, we recognize that guy from robbing banks, and so they arrested him. You got to be kidding me. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonnet story of the day. Remember that curler? That's the Olympic sport where you sweep the ice? Remember the Russian curler who was busted for doping?

Yeah. Like steroids? There's an update to that story. I'll do it in about two minutes. minutes where you're either going to go, that's the dumbest thing ever heard or I can't believe that. We'll get to that one second. I do want to say that in one hour, I do have a big announcement. Okay?

One hour. Listeners are guessing what my announcement is from Twitter. Christopher says you're announcing your intentions for running for the governor of Arkansas. Oh. Terran says you're secretly engaged. Wow. Okay. Bryant L. says you're retiring from radio.

Oh, I hope not. and Courtney says you're announcing Amy is pregnant. So all those are on the table. I'm going to leave them all on the table. The thing is, Amy is the only one who knows that sits around the table here. So don't make any indication. One hour away from that. Here's the question.

Does plucking your gray hair bring back more gray hair? Amy, yes or no? Yeah, I heard. You pluck one, four grow back. So when you're born, the color of each strand of your hair is predetermined. So is the timeline for when it all turns. gray. This doctor says,

plucking one gray hair does not have any impact on the surrounding hairs because each individual hair has its own set of genetics. Quote, it is absolutely false. It is an urban legend.

So pluck away. It doesn't make other ones grow back. That's interesting. Who made that up? I don't know, but they say if you wear a hat, you go bald.

I just think it's stuff our grandparents thought. Yeah. And so as it was told, we believed it to be real. Dang, I'm going to get to plucking. You know what's weird for me because I don't have any gray in my hair, but I have it in my sideburns because it's part of my facial hair. And I have a little bit on my chin and I hate it so much.

Oh, why? It's part of you. It's like fine wine. No, no, I don't think so. So, you know, that Russian curler, this is the thing where you slide the thing down the eyes and you sweep it with a broom. You try to make it land on the target. So he was busted for steroids, basically doping. Now he believes his drink was spiked by a teammate. Ooh, that's dirty. Yeah, his name is Alexander.

He won a bronze medal and is suspected because he tested positive for meledonium. It's a banned substance that increases blood flow and improves exercise capacity. He says that one of his teammates, he thinks, put it in his drink. lunchboxes to the story Yeah, he said that it's one of the guys that didn't make the team so why they were still at the training center before he left for the Olympics the guy was mad that he beat him out so he spiked his drink he tests positive at the Olympics loses his bronze medal

I can see that No, you're out of your mind I'm with you I believe it crazy Guys Russia has been in so much trouble for doping That's what I'm saying. No, he just got busted doping Not for curling Didn't you watch Icarus, by the way? I did. I did.

So that's the Netflix documentary that talks about it. It's this guy who wants to cycle and he shoots himself up with basically steroids to be a better cyclist and documents it, except it turns crazy. And Russia in the end gets banned from the Olympics. What do you think of it? I think it's fascinating that the guy, like the main guy, was the one helping him. And then all this stuff got uncovered. And then now he's hiding out here.

But what did you think of the documentary just for entertainment purposes? Oh, really good. I mean, I'm not even into cycling or doping. Yeah, I really wasn't either. Or Russia. But it's so crazy. All those things combined and then how it just snowballed into what the end result was. Yeah, I would encourage it.

If you're on Netflix and you're bored, watch Icarus. It's really good. The Bobby Bones Show, Bobby Bones. And that's how I go. got this scar. We're going to play that game. We go around the room. Tell where your scar is and how you got it. And to start our segment, some nice game show music from the 70s. Here we go. Amy, hashtag, and that's how I got this scar? So I have a scar on my forehead. Most people notice it and ask me, how did you get that scar? And I had a babysitter. We were playing high and go seek.

But I also had just started playing softball and was learning how to slide into bases. So my parents' brass bed with big metal screws coming out of it was base and I decided to slide head first and my arms went through the bed and my head hit a screw and I busted my head open how to go to the hospital and get stitches with a

babysitter. And that's how I got this scar. And that's how I got this scar. I have a scar that runs from my sternum down to right below my belt line and I had my spleen taken out. I fell off a house onto a boat trailer. A few more hours out of drown internally in my own blood. blah blah blah yada yada yada at the end i'm here living but that's pretty dramatic and that's how I got this still really big scar that goes right through my belly button I only have half a belly

button so and that's how I got the scar lunchbox on my stomach on both sides of my belly button I was out with uh Josh kamika and Jennifer we were doing some fake fighting in front of my house where we act like we're jumping somebody and we run off and leave them well the law enforcement showed up so we went sprinting and I couldn't open the gate so I dove head first over the fence and scraped my whole stomach on the top of the fence and that's how I got my scar. This could be a TV show where you show your scar. By the way, I saw a picture on Lunchbox's Instagram. I think Lunchbox has baby fever.

What did he do? What did he post? Well, I think he had a picture of his goddaughter, right? Oh, at Disney. Oh, yeah, that was when I was down at Disney. Yeah, I have a note up here to talk about that. I know you're trying to have a baby right now, and I'm assuming same. Same.

Yeah, same. Absolutely. Same predicament. No baby. No baby. So how's that going? It's going. We're rocking and rolling.

We're trying things out. Nothing's happened so far. But the picture I put up was just one that I was supposed to put up a few weeks ago when I was at Disney. I forgot. Figured it'd get a lot of likes. Throw it up there. Hey. You did it for likes.

Do you have baby fever lunchbox yesterday? Yeah, I want a baby. I'm ready. Is it at all causing any drama between you and her wife that you aren't having baby? Are you cool? No, we're cool. There's no fighting. There's no like... No, not fighting, but is it... I don't know. Do you guys just sit up and go, why can't we have a baby? No, I would say she gets a little sad. Me, I just think when it happens, it happens. We're having fun trying. So, why stress?

Well, we're all rooting for you. Yeah. I mean, not right when it's happening, but we're all rooting for you to have a baby. You know what I mean? We're not cheering you on as it goes, but yeah. That would be awkward. Yeah, it would be. Here's the question around the room.

Do you have over or under $6,000 in credit card debt? Because the average American has $6,000 in credit card debt. Over or under? Eddie. Over. I like that you went to me first. How much credit card debt do you have, Eddie? Well, I think it might be $19,000 now.

Oh, my. It was $25,000 mark, though. I've made some dent. Lunchbox. Or 30. Under. You have under? Under.

Amy? Under. Yeah, I just don't use my credit card very often. I'm scared to go into debt because I'm scared that I'll lose my job when we'll pay it off. And I'm even okay right now. But yeah, that's scary to me. Raymond, what about you? Easily over.

I had out-of-state tuition still dealing with. On your credit card? Yeah. The average American adult has $6,000 of credit card debt. And most people have two or more credit cards. Oh, I got over. Over two? Yeah.

I do want to mention this. Hey, play me some Jay-Z, please. Raymond, hit that. Hit that. If you have a girl problems, I've got 99 problems, but a b-dain one. So, Jay-Z plunked down $110,000 in New York City to celebrate his buddy's birthday. That's how you know that's your real friend right there. Baller.

I'm going to tell you something. First, let me tell the story. J-Z, according to Page 6. dropped $110,000. They celebrated the 50th birthday of one O.G. Perez, who runs his Rock Nation Sports Empire. Here's the thing. The bill was $91,000, and they tipped and taxed the rest. But the server put it on Snapchat, the receipt.

I'm firing that server. You even take a picture of a receipt and say Jay-Z was in there and how much money he spent? What if you black it out, but you're like, I just served Jay-Z? That's still, it's... Same thing. No, because it's the dollar amount that Matt just... But what's going to happen is other high-profile people will see this and go, I'm not going into that place. Because they take a picture of my receipt and then they post it on social media.

Like, as a person that owns a bar at restaurant, I just wouldn't have that. I got 99 problems and a server that's posting a tip is one. Oh, no problem's out for bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but I got a server who won't stop posting receipts. That's one. By the way, Amy told me the story yesterday. So you go to the park with your kids. Yeah, we've been going to the park every day.

It's awesome. So, birds flying over. Yeah, there's birds. And what happens? Well, a bird pooped on another mom. And it's not funny. Yeah, it is. I mean, it's funny because it didn't have a lot.

to you. But when a bird poop's on you, because I've had a bird poop on me, and it's not funny. But then when, you know, you see a bird poop on somebody else, it's sort of funny. Yeah, I'd say it's really funny. It's funny, but then, obviously, you don't want it to yourself. She did not think it was funny, but her friend that was at her, thought it was hilarious. So, one to ten scale, 10 being Chris Rock Comedy Special, how funny is watching a bird poop on somebody? Amy. I mean, it could be pretty funny, especially if you're out to eat.

One time I was, and my really good friend and got pooped on right in the middle of her scalp, and she had her hair parted down the middle, and we were just to go out afterwards, and then how do you clean it? And she started laughing, too, because she, well, first she was irritated and then laughing, and then when the whole table's laughing, is funny.

What do you give it as a number? One through ten? I guess an eight? Lunchbox? A ten. A ten. A ten. A ten. I've had it happened to me. I was going to meet some chicks in college.

college. My buddy was meeting up with his girlfriend and her friends. We go. We meet up. And I was like, hi, nice to meet you. The bird pooped right on my face. I said, nice meeting you. I'll see you guys tomorrow. I went home. It poked on your face. Yeah, right on the riverwalk in San Antonio, right on my face. And I was like, good night. And it didn't work out, huh? No, I went home because there's no way they're going to make out with me with poop on my face. The Bobby Bones Show, Bobby Bones. Amy's 30 Second Skinny on the way.

What's the big story we're talking about? What Mayor Morris did for her bachelorette party. Yeah, is it good? Well, I think it might surprise you. You know, something real quick is that Raymond saw her fiancé. Who's a buddy of mine, Ryan Hurd? Saw him driving his truck around, and Ray was hating on his truck. Why?

Or was it lunchbox? Who was hating on Ryan Hurd's truck? I was. I saw Ryan Hurd, and I expected a lot more from that guy. Why? What was he driving? He's just driving like a white Dodge truck with a little tool. chest in the back?

A tool chest? Okay. A tool box? It's a tool box. You can tell the guy who's never really worked hard with this tool chest in the back of the truck. Hold on. It's like one of those ones that goes from side to side. It's a big one. A tool chest, I consider that. A toolbox is one you carry. Okay. So anyway,

it was like five to eight years old and it still had the Michigan plates on it. I'm like, come on, man. He's kept it real with a truck. You drop. You're ultimate as in 2001. He's rich and famous, folks, and he's dating Marin Morris. I think he would step up his game. Engage.

Okay. And you consider yourself to be famous. But not rich. I'm sorry. Bobby Bono. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny. Marin Morris celebrated her upcoming wedding to Ryan Hurd with her closest friends,

but instead of going out for her bachelor at party, the girls decided to stay in. for a night of singing, dancing, and drinking. Ray Lynn was there, Lucy Silvis, and Cassidy Pope. Ryan and Marin are going to tie the knot in March. So Kelsey Ballerini caught the flu right when her song went number one and her whole crew was celebrating legends. She put on Instagram that this is a reminder that she's not invincible

and that even during a mountaintop week, it'll make her sit down and be humble. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds getting. Now, because the announcement's coming up, we have to do the morning corny. Ready. Because when people don't get it, it's like they don't get their cup of coffee. And then I have to hear about it. So, Amy, hit us with a solid morning corny here. Here we go.

The morning corny. What do you call a rescue man who just lost his job? What do you call a rescue man who just lost his job? A fired fighter. Oh, boy. There we go. That was the morning corny. Bobby Bones, everybody.

Transmitting across America. Okay, here we are. It is now time for my announcement, but we're going to wait until tomorrow. What? I'm just kidding. I was like, are you joking? Got me.

Yeah. It is now time for my big announcement. I'm very excited that I will be joining American Idol this season. What? What? Are you serious? Where I will be directly working with the top 24 contestants, and I'll be mentoring all the top 24. What?

Bones, this is huge. Like American Idol like this is American Idol. Yes, that show. Yes. Yeah, like the real one. I've had to sit on it for a long time. Why? Because they didn't want it to be known.

I don't know why. I'm going to tell you, the reason that I'm doing it, well, I went to Luke, Brian, who we're friends, and we had dinner. And I said, hey, they've come to me about American Idol. And I said, how good is the show? And he said, Bobby, I really believe this show is fantastic. And I said, okay, cool. And that was right before Christmas. And so I've known that long.

So yes, I will be joining American Idol this season. I'm the mentor for the top 24 contestants. So tell me what that means. Like, ah! Well, so let's start with how you even got the job. Well, they asked me a few months ago if I would want to mentor them because in country music, I'm known for the guy who breaks new artists. And I can read to you what they told me to say because I don't know what to say about me,

I can read to you what they told me to say. Okay. Because I said, what do I say about why you guys wanted me? It says, I will be working directly with the top 24 contestants by sharing my expertise and advice on all areas about being an artist, stage presence, dealing with the media, posting on social media, being authentic and original, and using my talents from radio, stand-up comedy, breaking artists, and being the lead singer of a band. Wow. That's a lot. I think they just wanted someone who knew a little bit of everything. And I hope that I'm doing a good job.

I can't say much about what I'm doing. But yeah, that's it. So that's it. I'll be on American Idol this season. And I'm very excited about it. Wow. That's crazy. Pretty cool.

Did you know that American Idol is the most widely recognized music competition series? I'm just reading them to space. Yeah, yeah. They sent me a bunch of stuff. So, yeah. Let me say this. The American Idol team delivered on their promise of bringing American Idol. No.

Is it off the top of the dome? Yeah, I'm just going off of my memory. But really, it's very exciting for me. I'm nervous that I'm going to not give a good advice, but I've been working with people. I can't say much about it. Can't say just when it comes back, I'm the mentor for the top 24. And that's why I've been in California so much.

And that's what I've been doing. And Amy knew about it. And Morgan number two hurt me. Amy yelled it in the studio the day and no one caught it. I thought that people, I thought people knew because I thought I heard you say

in the studio the day but I guess you didn't. I dropped a bunch of weight for TV because regardless of how much you weigh it adds 10, 15 pounds. Like that's for real. That makes sense. That's enough to keep me off TV.

And Amy yelled in the studio, trying to get that American Idol body, huh? And I go, Amy! And nobody even looked up. Wow, I didn't hear that. I know. I got so lucky. So.

I just, Bobby gave me the big eyeballs and I was like, do-to-do-do-do. I didn't just say that. I haven't been on social media pretty much in a week until now. Have you been eating? Yeah, you got to start eating now.

Why are you hiding? Well, I'm not done shooting. I have, yeah, I'm starving. So think about it. When's the last time you ate? Like something good. I've had food. Yeah, but bigger than the size of your hand

because you haven't had food bigger than the size of your hand for two weeks. When I'm done, I will have a big old cheesecake. But I still have lots more shooting to do. And I can't say anything else because I can't spoil the show. But that's it. The big announcement is I will be the mentor to the top 24 this season on American Idol.

And I hope I do a good job. You know what? We cannot say anything. Oh, man. What if when it's time for it to air? I got a question. Go ahead. Can I come to the finale? I don't have any answers to any questions. So I don't want to... Well, we all want to come. The announcement is out.

Tell Luke. There we go. I will tell Luke. Thanks. I have... Yeah, listen. Luke's been great about the whole thing. Luke really believes in this show

because he's the one that said, it's really good. All I can say is it is. That's all I can say. Wow. That I can say. Lunchbox, go ahead. Can I meet C-Crest?

Probably. You can probably meet him anyway. Yeah. We're in the same company. Go find him in the hallway at Iheartfest. Yeah. Close. Hold on.

We'll come back. Okay. I'm going to play legends from Kelsey Ballerini. Are you getting paid? Yes, I am getting paid. I am getting paid. The Bobby Bones show. Bobby Bones.

So I made the announcement at the top of the hour that I will be the mentor to the top 24 on American Idol this season. That's why I've been in California a lot. I've been sitting on that for a while. I just couldn't share it. and hitching to share it. That's what it feels like to have an itch. I've been itching. So everybody's got a question.

Which, by the way, lunchbox, you really didn't know? I really didn't know. How was I supposed to know? Eddie, you didn't know, you promised? I had no clue. I promise. I can't believe this is the biggest, this is just the biggest TV thing you've ever done? Oh, yeah.

Dude, this is amazing. Yeah. Of course. Guess when you found out, Eddie? Yeah, with everyone else. Yeah, just a few minutes ago. That's cool. gets one question because I don't want to stand this the whole show and I think there'll be more.

I just, there's so much I can't talk about yet because it's secret stuff and I've signed lots of papers that I'll get sued and probably go to jail. I think there's an American Idol prison that you go to if you share things. Yeah, but go ahead. If I can't answer your question, I will. Eddie. Yeah, have you seen Katie Perry? No, at this point, I haven't seen any of the judges here. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I've worked with many people, but at this point, that I'm talking to you right now I have not seen the judges yet. Okay, follow-up question.

Real quick, real quick. Go ahead. Katie Perry, if you see her, are you going to, like, throw some game at her? I am not. Because I think she's dating Orlando Bloom. Oh, yeah, you better not then. Yeah.

And I, no, I just wouldn't throw game anyway. Yes, lunchbox. Go ahead. Yeah, this is an easy one. So if I find a talented artist, I send them your way and you can get them in the top 24. I do not believe that's an accurate assumption. using my words carefully.

I do not believe that is how American Idol works. Thank you for your question, though, fine, man. Amy. Is there a chance that when this airs, you could get cut? No, no, no, no. It's too much. It's too much. I can't say anything more.

It's not a blip. It's not a blip. You have to understand, I'm mentoring all 24. I know. I didn't know if they had backup mentors, and they're like, let's see who's better. That's a good question.

Slater is waiting. Mario Lopez, just in case. I mean, listen, anything's possible, but I've spent days and days recording. Okay. Oh, I just wanted to throw a watch party and I don't want it to get awkward. Yeah, that would stink. Ooh. Yes, lunch bikes. Are you staying at Seacrest's house? No, I'm not. Oh. I've been in a hotel. You know what I've been doing to? Because I'll do like 13 hours one day and then the next day I'll have no shooting at all. So I've just been going to shoe stores. Oh, boy. I have way too many shoes. I have to buy an extra suitcase

just to bring shoes home. Oh, my goodness. Because you know what they call me? Shoe boy! Shoe boy must have got paid. Shoep boy. Make it that money. You don't have to get an extra suitcase.

Are you exaggerating? No, because I had to bring a lot of stuff out here. So I brought one suitcase and then I have too many pair of shoes that I have to bring them back. I don't have room for anything back. So is that like one of your tips to the as a mentor?

You tell them about how you created You boy. She's making fun of you, Bose. I know she is. And that's okay. No, I mean, you're mentoring them. You're helping them create a brand. Yeah, I'm mentoring them because they wanted someone who could do radio and TV and talk about stage and singing and all that stuff.

You know. So, yes. And yes, I am getting paid. Getting that paper. I don't know about that, but I am getting paid. How much? Just tell us. Yeah, how much you get paid?

You get Seekrest's money. Because Katie Perry got like $200 million. No, she got $25 million. Okay. I will tell you, I will tell you I'm getting paid somewhere in between Katie Perry's salary and zero. Okay. I'm not the highest paid person on Idol. I can promise you.

Well, yeah, Ryan is. No, Katie is. Oh, Katie is. Yeah, you're right. Katie is. Okay. But I am getting paid. And yes, it's probably too much.

Wow. So what are we going to do? You're going to spend some on us? Well, we have to see if I get cut. You're the one time I want to get cut. No, no, no. We're holding down the fore. Yeah, just know who's been here for you the whole time.

It kept your secret. I didn't tell anybody. I've been here every day. Even though we're recording. Yes. And we've been here. The Bobby Bone Show. Yesterday's show, we talked about this device where if you wet the bed, apparently, when it feels moisture, it wakes you up.

It, like, shows lights and shocks you. It doesn't just vibrate. It makes a really loud noise. Its goal is to wake you up. And so your son's been having a... shoes, not wet the bed. And so I thought, well, listeners are swearing by this, so I got to try it out. And what did it look like?

It's a little device, like with a wire that clips on, it looks like a little pager, and then that straps on to the arm, and then there's a little wire that goes down into the underwear area. So did you test it out first? Yeah, well, my daughter wanted to make sure it works, so she stuck it on her tongue, and yeah, vibrates, makes a noise when it hits moisture. And so do he put it in his underwear? Yeah, we tried it out.

And I still don't understand. People swear by this, but it woke him up. I don't personally, if he wets the bed, how it's been in the past is he wets the bed, but he sleeps through the night and nobody gets woken up. And we wake up in the morning and we're like, whoopsie, went pee pee pee pee the bed. Okay. But now it's people wake up. Everybody wakes up. And that's not good.

I don't get it. So you're saying you'd rather him wet and sleep than wet and wake. Yeah. Because like he's already wet and then he wakes up. So now is he supposed to suddenly just know that he's not supposed to wet in the way? I don't know. It just seems confusing to me. So we've, I have a new plan. Okay. Pull-ups. Oh, I think pulse would be great for all of us in the room. Yeah. Pretty amazing. And I found pull-ups with Spider-Man. I don't really know how he's going to feel about them quite yet. But we did have a little talk. And I think that we'll try pull-ups tonight. and we'll see if he goes, pee-p-p. I think I probably would just if I had them on. Just me? If I was on pull-ups and I had to even 1% go to the bathroom, I'd just go.

I know. I worry about it later. It seems pretty amazing because I don't like getting up in the middle of the night and I like to drink lots of water. Yeah, and on New Year's Eve they didn't have in New York, they didn't have any bathrooms in Times Square, and there are a million people in there. So they have no bathrooms.

So people wore diapers. They really did? Yeah. Oh yeah. I forgot. You weren't here. You were off for your kids. No, I don't know. The only adult person, the only thing I think of when I think of that is that astronaut lady that drove. Oh, yeah. She wanted to, like, abduct her boyfriend or something. Yeah. I don't know. But astronauts, they wear diapers. So she wore it on a long road trip because she didn't have time to pull over to be. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So people did that in Times Square. That's really fascinating. I didn't know that. No public bathrooms were open.

We should start doing that with this radio show. We need no potty. I'm not sure that lunchbox already doesn't. Oh, come on. So this guy named Michael was diagnosed 10 years ago with Alzheimer's disease, and it turns out he found out 10 years later he didn't have it. Okay. I mean, there's two sides of this. You can rejoice in the fact that you don't have it because then you know it's not going to progressively get worse. But at the same time, you're a little annoyed with the doctor that misdiagnosed you.

Because psychologically that really will mess with you. Do you think that you have that and you don't? Yeah. No, I can't argue with any of those points. Yeah. I will be very upset. He spent the last 10 years being an advocate on behalf of 5.5 million Americans who have Alzheimer's. And then he found that he didn't.

Do you go back to a different doctor? I don't know. Do you sue? I don't. It depends on my medical bill. I don't know. Does he have bills associated with this? I know, right.

Maybe there could be some sort of... Lunchbox, what would you do? I'd sue immediately. I'd find the best lawyer in town and we'd be rich, rich, rich, rich, rich. Did you see the story about the driverless taxis? And this is in America. So Google's Waymo is allowed to fully launch. It's a fully self-driving cab service in Arizona.

So it's basically Uber without the people. people driving. So they're going to use mini vans to transport passengers and charge about the same as Uber. The company's been trialing a self-driving car service in Phoenix, which lets passengers hail cars to an app for free. So how would you feel about that? How fast do they go? Normal speed limit.

No way. I'm not getting on a highway with a robot car. Can I ask you this, Amy? Would you rather have a human make decisions or a robot, just generally speaking? Right now, I'm comfortable with a robot doing it. If there's a human behind the wheel, sort of an airplane with autopilot, right? We're all no, there's autopilot the whole time. So I'm fine with technology, but I'm just personally not ready to get into a driverless car where I'm just sitting in the back, trusting, going 70 miles an hour on the highway.

And you don't have to, but I'm totally for this. Oh, I get it. I'll get there eventually. but Waymo? Not happening. No Waymo. Waymo, no waymo. No. They don't have waymo studies for me. There you go, Amy.

Did you see the Uber Eats driver story? Speaking of... So, this Uber Eats driver, they wanted him for shooting a customer. What? Did you see... Oh, you guys... Lunchbox you see the story? Yeah, he delivered the food to the guy,

and I don't know if the guy was upset. He took too long or whatever they exchanged. words and so the Uber each driver pulled out a gun and shot him. Man, nobody background checked that. Maybe they did even. I just, I don't give my Uber Each driver sass ever. Once the Uber each driver, what happens is it's like Uber, but they just, they're just a food delivery.

So it came to my house and he had it all in a tray and he dropped it all on my driveway. And I knew he's having a bad date because it goes, oh, not again. Not again. And he got in his car and he just drove off. And you know what? He might need a new job. I never asked for a refund. I felt like the guy was having a bad day.

And I was just going to take one for the team for him because there have been a lot of times I've been having a really bad day. And nobody took one for the team for me. So he never brought me back extra food. I think he may have quit overeat. I don't know. I know what he did.

But he dropped it all in my front driveway and then just left. Yeah. I mean, they also, you don't want to start something too. Like, you were extending grace. But also, these people know where you live. Yeah. Like, you don't want to treat them wrong.

Yeah, yeah. That's why I tip the Uber Eats pretty good, because if I don't, they'll come back to my house and maybe have some of my house. Maybe. I don't want to. I bought that stuff. I don't want you taking it from me. But yeah, the guy shot him. That's so unbelievable to me.

But nobody died, right, lunchbox? Not that I know of. I just saw that he shot him and he was wanted for shooting the guy. Yeah, that stinks. I mean, how all of his info, they got him, right? Yeah, he turned himself in. Yeah, he turned himself in.

Oh, okay. Do you take a shower after you take a bath, Amy? Yeah, I do, actually. Yeah, me too. I don't take a lot of baths anymore, but I always take a shower after I take a bath because I feel like I'm just laying on my own filth. Uh-huh.

I agree. And a lot of times when I do a bath, I do Epsonsol and toxins. coming out. I don't know. I just want to clean. Lunchbox, do you ever take baths? Nope. That's probably good idea. Remember when Lunchbox hurt his foot and he had to get sponge baths? From his mom.

Lunchbox was like in his 30s. And his mom was giving him naked sponge baths. Come on, guys. I was like 29. Give me credit. Yeah, but you liked it. Okay. Liking it is different than I was dirty and I needed someone to clean me. I had ankle surgery and I had to not. get my ankle wet. I had to keep it out of the tub. So I laid in the bathtub with my foot over the

edge and my mom would sponge bath me. Yes. Yeah, but out of all the girls you claim to hang with in your 20s, you had to have your mom, baby. Yeah, not a lot of girls are into washing you unless you're willing to show them some level of commitment. So you would get butt naked. Your mom would clean you as long as you. you kept your ankle out, right? That's the whole story. Yes, because I couldn't get it wet. I had surgery. I went under the knife. Can I ask you a question? Yeah, yeah, you can ask me as many questions you want about this.

Why not put witty tighties on? A swimsuit. I got a swimsuit on. Guys, you always complain about me not washing my hands. You got to wash, right? Yeah, but why couldn't you watch that part of you yourself? Like, she does all that work, and then you watch that part when she's not in the room. Guys, she's my mom. It's not weird. I don't understand.

It's so weird. You guys are making it weird. Eddie, if your children came to you My children, my children. Yeah, when they came to when they're 20 years old and they needed help, you would help them. No, I wouldn't. Your wife would.

Okay, well, lunchbox was 29. He hurt his ankle. No, it didn't hurt. Had surgery. You're making it sound like I just got a little nick on my ankle. No, I went under the knife, and they put, and they cut it open, and so I had stitches in a scar, and I couldn't open it up,

and I couldn't get it wet, so my wife, not my wife. The story gets better. Freudian slip. Freudian slept. Oh, no. My mom gave me a sponge mat. He's correcting himself like that's better. Hey, so would she wash your sensitive areas?

Yeah, that's what a sponge bath is. They clean you. What was wrong with your hands? What do you? You can reach that by yourself. As long as your ankles out, you can do whatever you want. If she's washing me, we're not going to say, oh, timeout. You go outside.

Let me watch this. Yes, you are. Okay. Well. Okay. See, here's the, here. I have, this is actually a story. So how often do you shower, Amy? Every day.

Sometimes twice. Me too. 55% of people said at least once a day. Lunchbox, how often do you shower? I'd say once a day. 34% said every two days. When you take a bag. Do you take a quick shower afterward?

Most people said yes. Do you wash your hair first or last? Amy. I do things while my shampoo and conditioner are sitting in my hair. So you start with your hair first. Sure, yeah. Yeah, I do too. Lunchbox?

Oh, hair is absolutely last. 81% said first. What? 19% said last. How often do you use a fresh towel? Amy? Pretty much every time, which is wasteful. I need to work on that.

Yeah. Me too, because I do it as well. 20% of people use it every time. Most people do it once a week, which sounds disgusting to me. That's about right. I know you're clean when you're getting out, so it makes sense, but I don't know. Final question, do you ever pee in the shower? I have.

Yeah, I do, but I aim right for the hole, the drain hole. So it's not in there. Sanitary. Yeah, it goes right. Lunchbox, I'm sure, I don't have to ask you. Oh, probably once a day. You probably go to the shower just to do it. Oh, once a day?

Yeah. Sometimes I hold it just so when I'm taking a shower I can be in the shower. Absolutely. It's more fun. It's more fun. But I mean, hello. This guy over here. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

So peeps are really popular around Easter time and they have come out with a new peep and it's pancakes and syrup. Okay, one being disgusting, 10 being amazing. How much do you like peeps, Amy? one disgusting lunchbox one disgusting vomit I put it at a two

I'm not going to go vomit Why are you starving No but I just don't know anybody who loves Peeps But I would try the pancakes and syrup What else you got? Well a woman was on a flight

And guess what she did with her air vit Imagine you're sitting on an airplane And the girl next to you Turns on her little air blower to get some air blower to get some air blowing down, and then she pulls out a pair of underwear to dry it. On the plane? It took her 20 minutes.

Oh, no. Yeah, because you only have your own little tiny air conditioner coming out, but I guess she had some underwear. She needed to dry. I can't believe that. You know what I would do? I would just put it on Insta story. I would.

Then I would tell on them. But in that order. Oh, yeah. Passengers did videotape. Videotape? Okay, 1980s. Yes, what else I'm saying? Okay, there's a hotel offering discounts for people who stay off their phones, especially if they're there with their family.

So that's just a novelty thing, right? Because they're actually not losing money because people are on their phones. What you can do when you sign up, when you go to the hotel and you're, you know, signing in or whatever, you can sign up for their reconnected program and you're going to save 5% off your entire bill. Okay, so it's just a novelty to get people to talk about it. And I think it's great. I'm going to tell you where the law is going to come into place in the next five years is you're not going to be able to walk down the street and text. That will eventually be some sort of legislation because people are getting hit by cars too much. And I catch myself walking and texting and not paying attention, running into polls, getting hit by cars.

I haven't done all that yet, but I can see how it's easily going to become a thing. No, you're right. Just like being on the phone or in a school zone and or hands-free. Because it's going to be dangerous for cars hitting people, more than people getting run over by cars. So yeah, what else you got? I have the hottest accents in the world. Oh, let me go first. I mean, British is pretty strong.

Like, British is the pizza of accents. Like, nobody hates pizza. Everybody loves British accents. It may not be the overall sexiest, but I think pound for pound. I'm going British. In Australia, second. Go ahead. Okay, well, you are correct with British coming in at number one.

I'm a guess Arkansas and number two That's me Arkansas did not Make the list But Americans We did make the list American accent at number eight

Okay what's number two French Yeah French always seems Kind of cigarettey to me Wee Yeah I just feel like They're always smoking

So I feel like they're And I studied French You have a French minor Yeah I'm not Something Uh No

Amy, your kids speak French. When I went to the orphanage, I spoke French to the kids. That's kind of how I would talk to a lot of them. Bonjour. Was basic French. Yeah. What's number three? Italian.

I don't like that one. That one seems stinky. Yeah. Okay. Is that it? Yeah, well, you mentioned Australian being at the top. So I'll just go ahead and tell you that it was number seven, which seems so wrong. Yeah, that's wrong.

It should be higher up. I think Thor has got it going on. I'll be honest with you. Okay, that's it. I made me. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. Bobby Bones, everybody. Transmitting across America.

This is a Bobby Bonds show. A massive new study proves that the key to life is alcohol. If you want to live a long time, alcohol. This is from the University of California. They study more than 1,700 people. all over 90 years old and they found that people who drink around two glasses

a beer of wine a day had significantly less death rates so if that's a kid I never had drink in my life I'm about to go any day I always wonder about wine should I start drinking wine

because I see people on TVA to me and I'm jealous that I can't relax the glass of wine yeah sit back pour yourself but don't push me Amy's like, I get it and you should.

Oh, you'd love it. I'm just asking, what do you think about that? I know. I kind of can't wait to have a glass of wine later today. I mean, when you get kids, if you ever have kids, you're probably going to want to start drinking a little bit. Back in the day, Amy would say, no, you shouldn't. Now that Amy's got two kids, it's like, yeah, I'm totally into having a drink.

Just a little purple coffee. Yeah, earlier, purple coffee, is that what you called it? Yeah. I've never heard it called that. That's pretty funny. yeah, the kids, it's great. That's what my mom called it, so that's what I call it.

Your kids say, Mom, why are you drinking the purple coffee so early? You drink so many purple coffees, mom. My daughter tasted it the other day, and she was like, ugh, oh, because I didn't know. She just went over and saw my drink in my purple coffee and she took a sip, and she was like,

what is that? It's disgusting. And I said, stop, give that to me. That's my medicine. Oh, wow. I know who I am sometimes. Yeah, that's funny. But I really don't think you should ever drink because you don't have self-control when you like stuff. That's true.

I have no moderation. But thank you. I hope you get your medicine today. Thank you. All right, that's a wrap for us today. I had a big announcement. Amy, would you like to tell everybody what the big announcement was? Bobby's going to be on American Idol.

That's right. I'm a contestant. I can't wait to sing for all of you. No, I am the mentor to the top 24 on American Idol. Can't say much else about it yet. But that's all. Yes, it is very legit. So that was the announcement early this morning.
