another week of the show. Got a good one today because Alan Jackson will be on a little later. Let me say this. Morning studio. Morning. Well, let's start with what happened at Lunchbox's house over the weekend because they're doing construction across from where you live lunch. Yeah, across the street they're remodeling a house so they've torn it out, gutted it or at it, whatever. They're

just tearing it all the way down. They're rebuilding. And I understand construction happening. It's the weekend, fine. But they are there in the banging and the clang, clang, clang, it's 6.45 in the morning and they're already, hey, up and at them. So we have audio.

This is from 647 a.m. on Saturday morning. This is from inside lunchbox's house. Okay? So you can hear what's going on. The birds are chirping. It's supposed to be a nice Saturday morning, but that would be frustrating. Does you have the window open? Did he say it's from inside his house?

Is the window or door open lunchbox when you recorded that? I opened the window so you could make sure you could hear it. Right. How do we feel about it? I personally think you shouldn't be doing any construction, period, until 8 a.m. Yeah, like, this goes for mowing the yard or weed eating, because that can be just as annoying for people that are trying to sleep in or neighbors that are trying to. I side with you lunchbox on this.

Yeah. 647, especially on a Saturday. Those are really. That's really early. Which, I mean, you got to respect that they have work to do and they want to get it done, but you just, you kind of have to wait till the appropriate time. Did you say anything to them? No, because I don't know who's in charge.

Like, I mean, they're up, like, just hammering and nailing as you can tell. And I don't know who's the lead. I don't know who the boss is. And I figure they don't have control of it. I figure their boss tells them to come. And the boss probably isn't even there. So I don't know if I should call the boss. If I should, you know, show up at their office.

I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you try to figure out something for tomorrow show? Yeah, I'll try to get a hold of someone that works on the site or something. But 647 a.m. Just not cool. not cool at all.

We can all agree on that, right? Too early? It's rare that we all agree on something with lunchbox, or heck, all together anyway. But 647 does seem a bit early. So good, I'm not a Karen. No, I don't think you're a Karen on this one. Yes.

Yeah, I don't think you're a Karen on this one. We love it when you guys reach out to us. We know we wouldn't be the show we are without you. So if you need to know anything, you need some advice, hit us up. It's time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby.

Mailback, yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend and I went to eat on Friday night to the local Mexican restaurant in our area. After waiting 30 minutes from when we ordered, I asked a waiter if they could check on our food. He apologized for the wait and said the food would be coming soon. The entire time we were waiting,

my boyfriend and I were arguing whether or not we should leave and just go somewhere else because we were starving. After 50 minutes of waiting, our food arrived. Oh, wow. 50 minutes for a bean burrito and a shrimp cassidia. unacceptable. I related to the waiter how disappointed we were that the food took so long. The staff was very apologetic and blamed it on the many to-go orders.

We paid for our meal left and probably won't go back. How long would you wait for food? Would you give up and walk out, or would you wait it out? What would Bobby do? That's signed Julie. Now, I did just experience this. Caitlin and I went to a restaurant. We had never been to before near our house.

We'd always even trying to go. We're like, let's just go tonight. We go, it is packed. We walk in. Order our meals. We ordered an appetizer. The appetizers didn't come for almost 30 minutes. But the place is so packed. And I think because they didn't have enough staff, meaning during the pandemic, you didn't need a whole lot of staff because there weren't a whole lot of people. Well, now more people are coming in. I don't think they've hired staff back as quickly. And I noticed that. It took a long time. And then I noticed one kid in the back, like a blonde-haired kid, like 22, was cooking and was like cooking every order.

So when this is happening, I'm looking around. I got my head on a swivel going, all right, what's the real problem here? Is it an inept waiter? Is it a cook? Is it the people? And I realized that they couldn't help it. They had too many people come at once. And it's not there. It wasn't the waiter's fault.

It wasn't the cook's fault. I sent a tip back to the cook. Money. It was like, I see you back there busting your butt. I don't know if anybody else notices, but I notice it. And then we waited patiently. We were annoyed, but it wasn't annoyance we shared with anybody. Because we had looked around and said,

this is not something they could help. Now, we probably won't go back there for a bit because they didn't have enough staff. And I think that'll probably be, you know, a few months. And hopefully they do, and it'll be a better experience. But that's what I did. We didn't get our food for an hour and 10 minutes. It was awful. But it wasn't anyone's fault that I could have said, hey, this is not fun. The waiters are struggling. She's running around like, I'm so sorry. And you haven't seen her bebop to tables. I would not, I would have been fine that night. I was fine that night. But I can't see your situation. If you look around and there's like two people in the restaurant, or if it's to go orders,

I'm probably a little more annoyed. But I would have waited it. out and just not gone back. What would you have done? Yeah, I would have waited because then by the time you get up and you leave and you go somewhere else, might as well have just waited. So that would be some of my logic behind sitting there. But I do understand the frustration. Oh, I was frustrated. Don't get me wrong. Yeah. However, I think it is smart to assess and try to put yourself in their shoes and realize that sometimes, you know, things happen and we maybe just need to practice a little bit of patience. And then, yeah, it's up to you whether or not you want to go back. And do the opposite, because if you notice your waiter or a waitress is struggling to

and it's been a rough time for them, like be a little bit more generous to them. Yeah. Because I know that my person was struggling and I could see that cook back there is running, throwing things up one after the other. And so I didn't want to do the whole, can I go back there and give regards to the chair? Because he was like a college kid. But I wrote him a note and sent him to cash and I was like, hey, man, I see you back there hustling.

Like, that'll pay off one day. That's awesome. Lunchbox? What would you do? I would have waited and I'd have got a free meal. I would have called the manager over and said, look, man, look, this food was good, but it ain't an hour and a half hour, whatever, good. This is a free meal, and that way you can improve your service.

And they're going to give me a free meal, and we'll be out of there. It would be good. What if he said no free meal? Then I wouldn't have paid out of the left. No, y'all can. You can always reach out to us with your questions. Morgan, what's that email address? Mailbag at bobbybones.com.

Close it up. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close. Bobby Mailbag. Yeah. Countdown. Counting down the biggest good news stories across the lab. I got it for you.

We'll go five to one. Let's go. Number five. Did you see the big dog to save the little dog in the swimming pool? The video? I didn't see the video, but I saw the headline. Holy moly. The little Pomeranian is walking around the pool.

It falls in. It couldn't get out. They've got a seven-year-old bull terrier. finally pulled the dog out with the teeth. That's crazy. Wow. Rescued the dog. Dog rescue dog.

That's pretty cool. It was amazing. I was telling Kaelin about this over the weekend. I was like, you see the video? And we started talking about if our dogs would do that for each other. They would not. No, they would not. A couple in Northern California had struggled to get pregnant for seven years

when their doctor said losing weight was their only chance. So they both had gastric bypass surgery. He lost 317 pounds. She lost 115 pounds. and they just had their first kid. Yeah. They actually had a kid. How amazing is that?

That is great. Number three. A guy near L.A. went hiking this week and he got stranded overnight. He had texted a photo to a friend of his legs dangling off a rock overlooking a canyon. Just like, hey, this is where I am. And then later he said, hey, I'm lost and my phone is dying. So rescuer started searching and posted the photo of the legs hanging over the rock in case anybody knew where he was exactly.

and a random guy named Ben saved the day. Ben has a weird hobby when he enjoys looking at random photos to see if he can figure out where they're taken. So he got to work, figured out the general area, told the cops, they found the guy.

Here's a clip of the story from the news. I've got a very weird hobby, which is I love taking a look at photos and freaking out where they're taken. So that's when we asked our Air Rescue 5 to go and check out that area and see if they saw anything and,

lo and behold, we were able to find them. I really, I don't know if I couldn't make it there another day. Thank you, Ben. I appreciate it. Everything that you did. Amazing story. And it reminds me, Ray Mundo has a weird talent of seeing a movie and knowing exactly where it's filmed, what city? Yeah, usually all the American cities I can nail Chicago, New York, Miami, whatever, those ones, and also Paris, any of the ones overseas as well in Europe. If he sees a movie and it's shot in a city, he can tell you by the

buildings where that movie is shot. That's town. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's pretty cool. It is pretty cool. All right, let's go. This website, My Heritage, has technology that can animate a photo of someone, so it looks like they're moving. Have you guys seen the video of the guy's 98, seeing his wife? Oh, he's passed away. I didn't click on it. He starts crying. It's really amazing.

It shows a photo of his wife. The picture looked like it was taken back in like the 40s or 50s. It's kind of black and white. And it moved him to tears. Here's his reaction. Holy smokes. She's alive. Yeah, it brings the picture to life.

Look at that. Oh, God. God, I can't believe it. It's her. This past November 23rd, we would have been married 75 years. And I stole over. Crazy, huh? It was a really cool video.

That dog video in the pool and that video I saw the same day, so I was a mass all day. Yeah. All right, here we go. Number one. A former Starbucks barista named Griffin Barron got to reunite with an 18-year-old kid named Jonathan Selner, who he helped deliver when John's mom gave birth. a Starbucks bathroom in 2002. Here's a clip of the original news story back in 2002 where Griffin was interviewed.

We heard just wha! And all of a sudden, there's a baby sitting in. Brian and I looked at each other, and we were just in shock and amazement that the baby came that quickly. The seven-pound, 10-ounce baby boy was born before paramedics could get there. The baby and mom did just fine. Yeah, he delivered that baby in Starbucks. And now the baby's old enough to vote.

That's crazy. And they brought them back together. Pretty cool story. I love it. I wonder if Starbucks did anything for the baby, like, three Starbucks for life. The kid had a Starbucks tattoo on his neck when he came from. No, he didn't. That was the Good News Countdown.

You know what Bitcoin is? Yes. Kind of a cryptocurrency. It's all digital. There was one started as a joke called Dogecoin, like dog coin. And it actually took off a little bit. And people made a lot of money with it if they bought it early.

Well, someone made a lot of money with Dogecoin, and they donated a ton to the shelter, and now the shelter's able to have more pets and actually help more pets get them adopted because of Dogecoin, which started as a joke. Oh, interesting. The woman put the donation at the Daytona Beach Shelter, all with Dogecoin, turned it over to money, gave them the money, which is perfect for this place because they just took in 42 dogs from a dog fighting ring. And they're like, without this. But it's just funny, Dogecoin was a joke. About dog coin, and now it's helping dogs. Now it's helping dogs.

And this is coming from some beauty experts that are out talking about it. And I'm like, thank you. We're normalizing face shaving for women because I've been doing it for years. And sometimes people just don't understand. I think it's the craziest thing. But it really is a great way to expose. your skin and your little peach fuzz will not grow back thicker. It won't. Do you do the whole lather up? No. No. I don't use shaving cream. I just use my face wash or you can do it dry

depending on what tool you use to shave with. But I just like the cheap-o-bick ones from like, you know, Walgreens or something. And I just shave, there I go. I mean, now my husband doesn't like to walk in on me doing it. That's a big buzzkill or something. But I don't know what a killing. Yeah. So I guess the people, yes, they're on a mission

to normalize this. So ladies bust out the razors. I think if you're not lathering up your face like a dude, it's probably fine for everybody.

But we just think of it as like cave men, men like, girl, latherer face up, not sexy. Right. Well,

you can get these little tinkle razors. Weird name, by the way. Totally. But I mean, that's a way to do it dry if you want to

or you can get like those Bick razers but I highly recommend not getting ones with a moisture strip because whatever aloe are in there might break your face out. I'm all for it too. So I co-sign you guys being able to shave your face without judgment. Thank you.

It would just be weird to see you lathered up. Okay. That's all. All right. All right. So Lainey Wilson, she's talked to us before about how she made bank like being Hannah Montana. So it all started when she was in the eighth grade. I guess one of her teachers was like, hey, can you come be Hannah Montana at my daughter's

birthday party? And she was like, okay. So she learned all the songs. She ended up doing like three parties a weekend at times when, you know, in her peak years as Hannah Montana for about four to five years. And one time she was driving home from an event or two and she got pulled over by a cop as Hannah Montana. I did get pulled over as Hannah Montana one time. I was speeding. I was probably 16 or 17.

This is about year three in. Like I was crying. My wig was hanging on sideways. I was like, for real, I'm supposed to be at this birthday party. Please tell him like, he helped me find the directions. That was her on a podcast called Just Being. earnest. She was also on the Bobbycast. Yeah, and I have a clip from that where she was saying she would bring along herself, Lainey Wilson, as her Hannah Montana opening act. I had the wig. I had the

outfits. A lot of the time, they didn't want Lainey Wilson there. They just wanted Hannah Montana to come to the party or whatever. So I'd get up there, sing a few songs, play my guitar. And you would know the songs? Oh, yeah. Did you ever do the climb? I did. Is that, was that your best paying gig? Absolutely. I made way more money then than I do now. I'm going to tell you right now. All right, what's next? And do you think wearing nicer clothes at work makes you more productive? Yes, I think if you feel good, you perform better, period. It's like when people say, hey, if you're kind of in a lull and working out,

getting new workout clothes because you're like, ooh, I feel good, I feel fresh. But yes, new clothes, it's in general. But you put on new clothes, you go to dinner. You're live for the party. Because I am. You're feeling good. Yes. Well, just with the pandemic, like, casual clothes were already making their way onto the work scene.

but then with the pandemic, we got real comfortable. And so I guess as people are emerging back at the office, just the debate is like, well, can we continue comfy or should we dress up? Oh, this is what? Comfy? I took my mind. No, but I guess if you do have, if you have a day where you know you need to be on point, maybe you should try dressing up because it'll help you. Okay. I agree. Just period. If you feel like you look good, you do feel better, just in general. So go for it. All right, that is?

Yep. That was Amy's pile of stories. Come on! It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So this woman named Robin Philly was shopping at a thrift store with their husband, and she found a cookbook that caught her eye.

She started flipping through it and noticed that there was some photos of a little girl stuck inside the cookbook. Oh, so not of on the pages, but like someone stuck them in there, yeah. And so she thought, gosh, like, I feel like these must belong to somebody. So she got the book. She put it all on Facebook and words started to spread. And the little girl in the pictures is now like 20 something years old. And reached out to the woman.

They met up in person. She got the photos. And then there was even handwriting on the back that the girl said, oh, yeah, that's my grandmother's handwriting. That's got to be crazy to see someone had some old pictures of you. And they're probably super important to you too. Yeah. But how many of us honestly would have just thrown them out?

Probably me. Yeah. And not put them on Facebook on who's a... I would help after hearing. this story, we don't throw them out. Yeah. Like sometimes when you get mail and it's to the wrong place, like somebody else. Trash.

Recycle. Right. Should we do? Because I really do 75% of the time. I'll put a note on it, put it back in the mailbox. But I should do it 100% of the time. I should use the story like this to make me better. You guys don't at all?

No, no chance. What if it's an important document though? I know. And they really, really need it. Like a tax document. Yeah, you can't really tell that from the envelope a lot of times You can't where it comes from? A lot of that they trick you like, oh, this is very important.

Open it immediately. Spam. So I just assume everything's spam. What do you do? I have put it back in my mailbox before with a note, but I don't know that I honestly, I feel like a lot of times it is spam. I hope. Well, as a group, we will pay more attention.

Yes. The story is going to make us a better person. All right, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Last week, producer Eddie, shared with us. that he found his seven-year-old's locked journal, and Eddie wants to read his kid's journal. Got a lock on it.

So we talked about it. Should he open that journal and read it? I said no. What do you think? No. Yeah, no. We decided my daughter wants a locked journal, and no, we got her one, and I wouldn't read it.

And you said? Read it. So it was two to one in the room. So Lunchbox went out and talk to folks. Here's number one. Open it up and read it. Why? Safety.

Now hold on. Stop for a second. Let me show you who you ask it. You're asking a mother with three kids, a 31-year-old, a 30-year-old, and a 28-year-old. So you've lived through it. I've lived through this. What if it's something in there that you can prevent from happening? Right.

In that case, that's called safety. You're not friends. You're not friends. What are your parent? You're a parent and a child. I feel like she's scaring you. Yeah, he's all scared. He's like, you're a parent, right?

Is that right? Okay, that's good. I do like her perspective. Here is another one. I would maybe ask him, like, I just know if you have this locked journal, like, is anything you feel like you need to share with me? And what if he says no? I had a journal when I was kid.

It was a lot, and I literally drew pictures in it. I don't know. I feel like you're kind of breaking a boundary if you just look at it. Now, if you feel like he starts having, like, suspicious behavior, like, he's acting a little abnormal. I would look at it because who knows how he's feeling. Think of it this way. If you never found it, if you wouldn't be worried about him, then I wouldn't open it.

So, now how old was she? because she sounds really young. Yeah, but that was actually... Very opposite from the parent. She ended that with a really wise statement. What? She said, now, separate, take the journal out. If you weren't worried about him,

like if he's not displaying any sort of behavior that's causing you any concern, you wouldn't be worried about reading the journal. Take the journal out. Like, is your son doing behavior that's concerning? Okay, then don't read the journal. That's what I say. Oh, but you can't be like, hey, what's in the journal?

And he's like, nothing. You believe him. But he's like, I don't know. Oh, if he starts saying, stuttering and like, oh, you're hiding something. One more. Here you go. You know, when your kid, you really have no privacy. That's what my runny ever. I always said, nothing was locked.

Okay, so if that was your kid, would you open it? Probably, just to be nosy. Because nothing was ever locked in my house. The people have spoken, they sound like me. They say to unlock it and read it. Where are you on this? Yeah, unlock it and read it. Are you going to read it?

Probably. But why? But I do, I do think I'm going to take the approach of asking him first, be like, hey, what's in your journal? Let's look through it. I think he's going to be cool about it. Let's be real. What's in their bones? Really. He's seven years old. Yeah, so why break that boundary?

I just curiosity. I want to know what's in there. And like the lady said at the end, there's no privacy in our home. Just as a question here. Your curiosity is more important to you than his sense of privacy? Oh, yeah. I mean, seven years old, yes. Okay. That's all I want to know. You're the dad. You parent your own way. Let's go over to Amy. It's time to get in, The Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

I spend my entire life savings on pasta. Okay. It was worth every penny. Pena pasta. Yeah, we got that. That's pretty good. That was the morning corny. Everybody in the pasta shops all over America right now, laughing their butts off.

They're giggling. That's right. All Italian restaurants. Waiters can tell that one to their patrons.

Open doors to the future for you and your family with the help of American Military University. That's AMU. dot edu slash military you know when you get on an airplane and you walk in and the southwest flight attendant standing there and she's like hey how's going

how's your day but you know welcome to southwest they're all different right sometimes they get on the microphone and they're like I'm from southwest and I'm here to stay but whenever they stand up there

when you walk in it isn't just to be nice they're actually looking at every person to see if there's an emergency who can we grab that's like an able-bodied person and knowing where they're sitting. It's a selection process? Basically.

So this girl from Utah revealed why flight attendants to greet you on an airplane. She said they're looking for able-bodied people for an emergency. That includes one, people that just look strong and physically active, but also doctors, firefighters, nurses, and military personnel.

They're also checking for suspicious items. Like if somebody's walking in in with a 30-od six, they somehow it got through. Or human trafficking. Oh, yeah. Like, they're there not just to say hi, but they have a job to do

and it's to look people over. That's interesting. That was pretty crazy. Yeah. So now I'm going to walk in and be like, hey, I'm able. Yeah, this changes everything. Oh, I'm sure they already realized that about you. What if I caught him telling somebody I wasn't able?

They're like, yeah, the guy's glasses, not able body. Let's not go to him. Or you just goes just right from the top. Just going, how's it going? Hey, you know, I'm not strong at all. Just let you know. I know it looks strong, but I can't. Don't come to me.

Whatever you do, don't come to me. And you, like, nothing suspicious. You pull your pockets out. Look, I got nothing going on here. I know you're looking for a gun here. I got nothing. Mr. Jackson, I call you that, you know, just out of respect. I don't know for an interview. Should I call you, Alan? Like, how do you want me to refer to you publicly? Because I would call you Mr. Jackson if I saw you in person. No, I like just my first name. Fine. Whatever you feel comfortable with, I don't really care.

All right. Mr. Allen Jackson. Just don't call me out. Well, that's, wasn't that your name early on, though? Didn't people call you out? Weren't you using that as your name? Just people that didn't like me called me that. Nobody ever called me Al. They called me AJ, you know, that kind of thing. Back in like 86 or so, when you were on, you can be a star on TNN, which by the way, my

grandma and I would watch TN all the time. That's where I really fell in love with the Opry was TNN. Like, did anyone come off of that show you can be a star other than yourself? Do you remember anybody else on that show? Well, the truth is I wasn't a contestant on that show, you know. I worked at TNN. in the mail room. And so the people that worked there with me knew I was expiring to be a singer and songwriter. And one day I was just standing around backstage when that show was taping.

They said, hey, we need somebody else to sing going into commercial because they pull people out of the audience to sing, just a guest audience member just to sing going into the commercial. And they asked me if I wanted to sing. And so I jumped up there. So you jump from working for the network backstage to just hopping on stage. Do you remember that and thinking, holy crap, this is a big performance here, or was it just another day because you were playing at night already anyway? No, that was a huge. I mean, that was the first time I'd ever done anything in front of the camera, I would imagine. I had my old brown cowboy hat back there, you know, the first cowboy hat I'd ever bought and owned, and I stuck it on my head and went out

there and sang a George Jones song. If you go out in public now and you're not wearing your cowboy hat, will people know that it's you? I get recognized quite a bit with just a ball cap or something on it. You're more diehard fans that know me well, but I think as I've gotten older I don't look quite as same as some of those early videos. But yeah, I don't, Cowboy Hat definitely you stand out a little more. On with Alan Jackson right now, which, by the way, the full album, Where Have You Gone, Available May 14th.

But we got a couple songs out now. let's talk about some of them. Why don't we talk first about where have you gone? You wrote the song by yourself, right? Yeah, I guess. Now, nowadays, most writing is happening in rooms of two and three, sometimes four. How common was it back 10, 15, 20 years ago to actually write a song by yourself versus, you know, like it is now? I don't think it was much different back then. If you're a a songwriter in Nashville or artist hanging around town and you're writing with other writers, I would typically write with somebody else or maybe three, but occasionally I'd write something by myself.

I think I just kind of grew into it because once my career took off, I was gone all the time, you know, and I was on the road. So I was pretty much had to write by myself unless somebody wanted to come with me. And that's how it just kind of developed, I guess. How do you know when you write by yourself if it's actually good? Because any time I write jokes by myself or anytime I write in dopey songs, like I kind of need that other person to tell me that I'm not that funny. Like when you're writing, how do you know if you're like, yep, I did it all?

I know it's good. Well, I don't know if I know that either. I think you definitely when you write something of your own and you're singing it, you get real close to it. It's hard to have a perspective of somebody that's never heard it before. But, you know, my wife's a pretty good board to bounce it off of. And, and, you know, I think I, I just feel like I know when, when gut instinct tells me usually if it's a pretty good song and I'm not always right, but I mean, I've written a lot of things that I realized weren't top shelf and everybody does. You don't really know of me.

Like Denise, one time I wrote this song that, uh, that she, uh, told me it was stupid and it went on to be the number one hit. So you never know. And what song was that, if we can ask? Gosh, I wish you hadn't asked me that now. It's not I'm in love with you, baby. It's, I can't remember. If it comes to you, let us know.

Did you ever have a song that you wrote? I mean, you're in the Songwriter Hall of Fame, so you know, you're writing song after song, great songs. But did you ever have a song, and you thought, I don't think that song's going to do much, but then it ended up being a big smash, and you were surprised by it? Yes, Chattahoochee.

When you finished Chattahoochee, you finished right in that room that day. Did you go, all right, this is never going to be heard by anybody other than us who wrote the song? Well, Jim and Bride and I wrote that, and I just thought that it was, you know, a title of the name of a river in Georgia

that I grew up around, and nobody, unless they were, from that area we're even going to know what in the world I was singing about. And it was, I guess the song was really more than that. It was a growing up kind of coming of age song in a small town. And I realized later that everybody had a Chattahoochee or something like that. So they related to it regardless of the title. So I was wrong with that one.

I mean, I still play that song about once every two weeks. I will play Chattahoochee just because I feel like playing Chattahoochee. And here we are this many years later. Do you ever hear it on the radio today? And you're like, dang, I cannot believe that. song is still sounding good. Well, I don't, I hear my songs every now and then. Yeah, they all surprise me.

They're still out there. But, yeah, I get, I mean, I've sung that thing a million times, you know, on stage, and people still jump up on their feet when they love that thing. So a couple songs I want to talk about in the new project. Y'all always be my baby, and I do. Now, they were both written for your daughter's wedding. Is that true? That's absolutely right.

My oldest daughter, Maddie, was the first to get married three or four years ago. and they wanted a song, she wanted me to write a song for the father, daughter, dance, you know, that they do at the reception. And so I wrote that. And then I told all three of my girls, I said, look, I wrote this song for the dance. And I'm not going to write one for every wedding. So all three of y'all got to use this. So far, I've used it twice. Did you ever early in your career play a wedding to make some extra cash?

Very rarely, but I did do a couple that were friends of my wife, I think. Even after I came to Nashville, my steel player that's been with me about 30 years, he was in that little band. And we went down to Atlanta and played this little backyard reception for this wedding. And he still, every now and then he'll bring that up and laugh about it, us playing that way. I was saying my own wedding. Wait, say that again.

I need to hear you say that again. You did what? When Denise and I got married, you know, I was singing. and then just kind of, you know, weekend warrior thing in Georgia. And so when we got married, we set our vows and before you do the ring thing, I sang this wedding song. Pat Terry was a Christian writer around Atlanta area. It wrote it. And it's a real pretty song. And I stood there and sang it to her and up at the church in front of everybody. That was hard. Yeah, I was going to say how hard was that to sing at your own wedding?

I mean, I feel like I'd probably be a bit emotional while I was doing it. Yeah, I think I was just more nervous and scared than I was emotional, but yeah, well, I got through it pretty good, I thought. Alan Jackson's on with us right now. Hey, what role did you have? And I asked this from someone who was in musicals myself back in the day. In Oklahoma, if I'm correct, you were in the production of Oklahoma. Who were you?

Oklahoma. Gosh, I don't know the characters by name. but I don't know who. Did you sing that, oh, what a beautiful morning. Was that you at all? Yeah, I know the songs. Yeah, I would probably have sung that. I actually was in a play in Thai school that had them.

It was a musical, and I was one of the main guys in there, and I sang the old John Denver song, Country Boy in there. Thank God I'm a Country Boy, that one? Yeah, thank God I'm Country Boy, yeah. You sing, thank God, I'm a Country Boy, yeah. You saying thank God I'm a country boy in a high school play? I did. That was the kickoff of my career.

I'm looking at your list here, and I think I know every one of your number ones by heart and many of the other ones as well. Of the 35 number ones, I mean, you can't. That's the one. We're going back in time. That's the one. Denise said that was stupid.

Okay. See, I knew we would get there eventually, yes. You can't possibly play all your number ones in a set at a single show, right? How do you decide which big, which biggest songs you're going to play? Well, I guess over the years, I've tried to just bounce it back and forth with the audience and figure out which ones I feel like that they respond well to. And also which songs fit together in a couple of hours. And I mean, it's tough.

It's tough. I mean, I've had 60 or 70 singles, you know, that have been either one or five or top ten hits. and I mean, I couldn't remember them all if you asked me. And it's it makes me feel really bad. Sometimes I'll see a fan out there holding up a sign of a particular song from 20 years ago that I hadn't sung in a long time. And, you know, I just can't most time I couldn't do it if, but every now and then they'll hold something up and I can remember enough to sing the course or something for them. That's just kind of fun to do. But it is very, it makes me feel bad.

I know some people come to hear one ticker song and you just don't, get to do it for them. So I try to just pick the biggest ones and the ones that have affected the most people that I enjoy as well. How did you earn money to buy your very first ever guitar back in the day? Well, I didn't buy it. My mom and dad gave it to me when I was 16 for a birthday. Was that because they knew you wanted to play guitar? Had you expressed, hey, I would love to be able to afford a guitar and they went and got you one? Well, yeah, I guess so. I've been singing, you know it church some and that kind of thing and i was dating this girl who had a younger sister played a 12-string guitar and and we started singing together just doing some kind of folky stuff and

not really country stuff much but uh church kind of stuff mainly and i started playing uh just doing that and then i uh i met a boy that was a friend of one of my older sisters and he uh played electric guitar and real country stuff. I mean, Gene Watson and Haggard and all that stuff. And he's one that really turned me on to it and got me a singing. He sang a real good harmony. And we formed a little duo and it grew into a band later. And that's what led me to Nashville. When you moved to Nashville, was it to be a songwriter or to be a performer? A singer. I'd never written a song in my life until when I was singing with that band and everybody kept telling me, you ought to go to Nashville, you know. So I didn't know much about, I didn't. I didn't know much about, I didn't.

They didn't know anything about the music business or recording or anything. And this one old guy in Noon and a young man that had a band, a rock band. He played in Atlanta some. He had a little four-track studio at his basement or something. He's the only guy ever knew that recorded. And so I asked him about it. He said, yeah, if you go to Nashville, you know, you can't go up there singing everybody else's songs. You need your original material to show them who you are.

So I started writing songs. And when I came to Nashville, I had a paper sack full of songs. And a lot of those ended up on the first two or three records. When you started writing songs, because like you say, he didn't have a huge history of writing songs before you got to Nashville, was there, did it come to you pretty easy? Or did you take a long time and kind of labor to learn how to actually write a good, catchy song? Well, I think some of it, you got some kind of natural ability to hear melodies and make it rhyme. But, you know, it's a craft. I thought the more I wrote and wrote with experienced writers, I learned.

But I mean, the first month or two, I moved to Nashville, you know, I never lived anywhere. And my wife was working a job to pay our bill something. She was out of town. Most of the time, I was up here by myself lonely. And it was sad. The first month or so I was there, I wrote a song for my mama for the Mother's Day that was coming up right after I had moved here. And it was called Home. It's a song about my mom and daddy in the house they grew up in.

And it's a true story, a bunch of facts scribbled down. And that was one of the first song. as I wrote when I came to town and it went on to be a hit, you know, years later. And so you just, you know, you never know. You write something like that that comes out of you that's personal. Sometimes it writes itself more, you know. You know, of the songs that you have written that ended up, again, being big smashes that have gone generationally, which one of them kind of fell out of you the fastest?

Where you just kind of sat down an hour and a half, you're like, well, we got a song here and then it turned into a big hit. Gosh, I don't, that's, I've had a lot of them. come to me that way, you know. I would think the one that it was the most inspirational in a almost spiritual way, you know, was, where were you when I just got up in the middle of night and there was that song, you know, and I wrote the course down and that whole thing just came out of nowhere. And then the next morning I started scribbling all those little verse things down about different visions I'd seen

during all the turmoil on television and hearing people's stories. But yeah, that one was almost godsend, you know. Alan Jackson's on, where have you gone? Is his first album in six years? It'll be available May 14th. You've got 21 performances. We've talked about a bunch of the songs so far,

but no record for six years. Are you a guy that can separate and just, put music and life in separate places and just live your life and not worry so much about music for a while? Oh, definitely so. Yeah, I've always, when I come off the road, I'm off the road, and I've always enjoyed just life with my family and doing things that I've always enjoyed doing even before I had any money to do it, you know, and it's wonderful. I think that's one thing that's helped me stay more focused and grounded and be able to write songs that still with people's never really worked hard to be in the spotlight.

I got two final questions for you, Mr. Jack, Alan, Alan, my friend Alan, that's what I should say, my friend Alan. We have two final questions for you. The first song on your set list, if you were to go out tonight, you hadn't played in a while, what's the first song you play when the crowd's out there are going, Alan, Alan? I usually kick off a gone country because it's just a great opening song and a good track for that. And I've been doing that for years, and it leads into the show real well. The crowd seems to, they like that.

It's like it's the statement, you know, to kick off the show. What do you close with? Typically, we get down to Chattahoochee. I do like a running little set of 5 o'clock and Chattahoochee, and then I come do some Mercury Blues. Sometimes it's interesting. Oh, come on, Mercury Blues. That's my jam.

That's my jam. Listen, all I think about is home improvement in that car turning around. And Tim the Toolman, Taylor, and Al Borland, and you're up there. I'm going to buy me a mercury and cruise it up and down a row. That's it for me. That's my childhood. Oh, I love it. Okay, here's the real final question.

Okay. Your wife's maiden name was Jackson. Did she even have to change her name illegally after you got married? I don't guess so. It's the same Jackson, right? Jackson's Jackson? Yeah. As far as I know, we're probably related somewhere down the tree.

So far, you know, all our children turn out normal. Okay, there we have it. Upcoming album, Where Have You Gone, Out May 14th? Let me encourage you guys. Check out, where have you gone? Check out, you'll always be my baby. Check out things that matter. Way down on my whiskey.

Mr. Jackson, Alan, thank you very much. Just a massive fan. Appreciate your time. I would say good luck with your career, but I think you already won. So you're the winner, and we're lucky to have you around. Well, thanks for talking to them. I appreciate it. Good to see you. Bye, Alan. Bye-bye.

Well, for the past year at Ober Elementary School in Las Vegas, they've been doing distance learning. And there's a first grade class and two girls, Julia and Luna, they just hit it off a year ago. Through the computer, they were friends. They laughed together. They're like, we love each other, but we've never met. So now current day, Julia's having a birthday and the mom says, I got the best gift for her. I'm going to invite Luna so they can meet for the first time.

And sure enough, Luna came over. They gave each other a big hug. Like, oh, my gosh, we've been friends on the computer. And now we get to meet. They said, quote, it was the best day ever. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, that's cool. What if one's like super tall, though? Because you really don't know.

They're all seeded. Yeah, they're all the same size on a computer. Or one's like super short. They're like, whoa, you're not even what I expected. Yeah. It's like a dating nap. That's a great story, though. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. You guys know we love to hear from you. So hit us up anytime. Even when we're not on the air. You can call our number and leave a voicemail.

For example, here is Jake from Washington. Hey, Bobby. Just want to say thank you for helping me stay awake as a truck driver, drive a log truck up here and just want to say thank you for everything you guys do and keep being entertained throughout the day. I really enjoy the show and listen to you guys when I was in Virginia as a cough, and I listened to you guys now as a log truck driver. Appreciate that.

Thank you for what you do out there. Let's go over and do the news. Bobby's Big. Story. A woman in Seattle just tweeted about how a hospital messed up her baby's birth certificate and actually saw the certificate. She was trying to name her daughter Cora, K-O-R-A. I don't know if somebody heard her wrong or if they just typoed it, but now the baby's name is corn. Oh.

With a K. Like the band. Yeah, they must have misunderstood that one. Backwards K like the band? Well, no, not backward K, but yeah. Here, this is Korn, the band here. Here you go. Earlier this month, the woman named Kells in Seattle had a baby girl, and on Friday, the certificate said corn. Baby corn.

Are they keeping it? The baby's legal name is still corn. What would you do? If it was a funny story like this, would you keep your kids named corn? I guess it would be funny to keep it, and then you just call her Kora. But is the name supposed to be funny? Because I've had some bit ideas for our future kid. Oh, really?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this is an accident, not a planned bit. Canelan keeps telling me Our kids are not bits Oh yeah Go Caitlin That's story number one More news

Here we go Bobby's other Story There's a woman Who crashed more than a dozen weddings in Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi and stole gifts at all of them

Oh gosh And now the police have identified her A woman captured on surveillance camera Near an unsuspecting couple's wedding gifts Is a suspect Who's wanted more than a dozen wedding thefts since 2017.

That is wild that she was just dialing in. She must have been good at it. I wonder if she had a map with pins. She knew exactly what she did. That's crazy. She would go in and then as they were at the front actually doing the vows, she'd go and swipe some gifts and get on to the car and head out of there. It's when everyone's preoccupied.

Wow. Wow. And she did it for three and a half years. I knew an old couple, you know, back in the day that every Friday night, they would find a wedding and they would go and they would just have the night of the night of the the night of their life and then go home. And that was it. That's how they went out on Friday nights.

I'm too scared to crash anything. I told you, if there's a concert with an empty seat up three rows, I'm like, I can't do it. Because I'll be worried the whole time someone's going to grab me and say, oh, this is this your seat? And then I'm like, huh? Oh, it's confused. Wait, look at my ticket. And then I do the whole song and dance. So, and then one final story, speaking of gifts, I LOLed at this this weekend.

A guy had 35 girlfriends, and it was a scam to get them all to buy on birthday presents. Oh. but he only got about 1,400 bucks worth of presents before he got busted and now he's facing fraud charges. Oh boy. The guy was dating more people at the same time than I've ever heard of my entire life.

And I don't think there's a crime in dating 35 people. It'd be very difficult to do. There's a 39-year-old guy. He managed to get into relationships with 35 different women by selling shower products door to door for a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme. So that's what gets him in trouble. Oh, wow.

But what he would do, is he would start to go, hey, why don't we have a date? Let's go on a date. And he would tell them his birthdays at a different time of the year. He would constantly get presents. All year long.

It wasn't like one day where they all showered him because you can't go to 35 celebrations. Wow, these scammers. What a character. But the scam is... The pyramid scheme. I don't think it's illegal

to have 35 girlfriends and tell them a different birthday. No, but it is a way, it is a scam to get birthday presents. You're lying and deceiving. But I'm saying legally. I'm saying legally. Oh yeah.

Legally, he's not doing anything wrong. But he's counting on these vulnerable women. I don't know how vulnerable they are. I just, L.O.L. Well, I'm saying, if a guy shows up in my door selling door to door, I'm going to be in a vulnerable place if I start dating him. Not me. I'm going to be going.

You're a hustler. I like a hustler. His scramble up in February when a few of his girlfriends found out about each other. And they started tracking down more women who thought they were in a relationship with them. It wasn't even that lucrative. Like we said, he did all this work. He had an Excel spreadsheet. It took down about $1,400.

Now he's basing fraud charges for the other stuff. Yeah. But that's a lot to keep up with. Oh, yeah. I mean, that's the pyramid. Okay, I'll date you, and then you date three people. And then they date three people, each, and you all get me presents. 35. That's crazy.

That's the news. Thank you guys. Bobby's big. Story. Hey, thank you guys for hanging out. Call us if you want, 877-77 Bobby. Hope you guys had a great weekend. I made some notes about mine. First of all, I don't watch many movies,

but this is the second weekend that I've been at home. I didn't have to travel. And I was like, what do I do with myself? So I sat down and I watched the college admission scandal on Netflix, which was about the overarching,

you know, Aunt Becky, what happened to her, Felicity Huffman. They were just two little people in this whole scheme. One guy had mastermind this whole thing. And the movie is really good.

And they're interviewing real people, but they're also showing you what happened with actors. Did you watch it? I did. After you told me about it, and I thought it was really good. And yes, it's so much more tangled and involved than I even thought.

I think that because it was Anne Becky and Felicity Huffman, like they were the most famous. So they were making the cover stories. There were other famous people too, though. Oh, yeah. Famouser. Not as famous, but. Or really wealthy, successful business people that it just kind of was funny to me

how none of them were really criminals. Like what stood out to me was that because they were wiretapped. had they been actual criminals, they probably would have caught on to what was happening, been like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not saying this over the phone. But because they weren't really criminals, they were like, oh, yeah, we did that, blah, blah, blah. Like they gave themselves away. It's fascinating because I really didn't know what happened. I just know that I got real angry at a bunch of entitled rich people that got their kids into school and their kids didn't deserve it.

And like me, I went to Henderson State University, a really small school that was pretty easy to get into. And I had a lot of friends that were struggling to get into schools. But then you just see people with a bunch of money. And we're like, okay, we're going to pay. And we're going to knock someone else out of their place. And since we're rich, we'll take their place. It fires you up. Yeah.

You know what else? One thing I took away was that so many people on there said, like, honestly, prestige and college. And like, what that is is because we've put it on this pedestal to be this place you have to go. Like really, so many colleges out there, you're going to get a great education. But you just think that if you go to this school, it's better for you. And you think you have to go to college. You don't even have to go to college. Yeah, right. You don't.

You get the education that you need if you go after a period in life or through books. I did that. I thought it was good. I would give that four out of five textbooks. Oh, that's good. It was really good. And then I watch King Kong versus Godzilla. Come on.

It was on HBO Max. And I was really expecting that to be pretty dopey. Because you got two monsters fighting each other in the middle of the city. The whole movie, right? It was pretty good. No, not the whole movie. They don't fight the whole movie? No.

Okay, that's what Mike D said. They fight some. They fight the beginning. They fight at the end. But you're just learning stories about, and I think it's based on a true story. Stop. It's pretty good.

I give it 3.75 monkey suits. Man, I want to watch it, but it stresses me out. Like, can't they fight in a place where they're not destroying things? I absolutely agree. Like, can we build them a big ring? I agree. But, dude, they're too big for it. open field. But is

Mike, Mike D. does movie Mike's podcast. Did you like it? I love that movie, yeah. Yeah, it's good. It's got the girl from Stranger Things, Melody Bobby Brown. Yeah, 11? Yeah, 7. 11. 11. Oh, whatever. I'm saying, I'm like, call positive. I'm thinking of 7-11 obviously. I thought it's pretty good.

So I was in. All right. We watched a couple episodes of Succession, which we could never really get into. We'd watch like five episodes and we're like, what are we missing with this show? And then now it's just now at the end of season one starting to get good to us okay good finally but we're like are we we're like are we not smart enough for this show but it's good it's starting to get good so watched a bunch of stuff um

what else my original wedding date was going to be this past weekend that's crazy oh yeah that's right had we been able to have the wedding the way we wanted to have it because we delayed it because the pandemic it would have been this weekend man you would have been married by now on that day it rained like crazy wow what an amazing um blessing. And Caitlin was like, I'd just been crying. I'd have been crying the whole time, thinking we're going to have a rained out wedding or a muddy wedding. So, but it was supposed to be our wedding day. It wasn't, but it was good. We went to the mall. We're walking around the mall because we're looking for Amy's daughter, some shoes. It was their birthday party.

Went to our birthday party too. I'll tell you about that in a second. Because I kind of got in trouble with Amy's birthday party. Did you hear? No. What I said? I yelled at a kid. No. Okay. So anyway, we'll get tonight a second. Oh, gosh. So we're at the mall walking around and we go and we go and we got some. to eat real quick in the mall. And I see somebody waving at me. If they're in a mask and they have glasses on, I have no it's just a person. I'm just like, hey

guy, hey girl. I just wave at everybody at this point. And so I go back to eating and she's like, hey. So she pulls out her mask and it was Karen Fairchild from Little Big Town. Ah, nice. And so she was waiting and she came over and we talked for like 15 minutes

and it was great, good to see her again. And she's just really, I always say it, they're the nicest people, a little big town. But You know, we have a relationship with Karen that's pretty friendly outside of even the radio show. But it was great to see her. First time she had met Caitlin, though. We really haven't met anybody that's not in our super circle. You know, we're just now starting to go out and, you know, be around folks and stuff.

So I saw Karen Farrell at the mall. Celebrities are just like us. That's right. They're shopping at the mall. They're eating at the mall. Let's see. I went to Amy's daughter's 14th birthday party. Crazy to think she's 14 years old.

I know. How long did you adopt her? Well, she arrived when she was 10, now she's 14. So she got here at 10. When did I meet her? What was she 9? Am I went to the orphanage in Haiti? Maybe 8 or 9.

Crazy. I can't remember when you went to Haiti because you went without me. Yeah, true. So she's 14. I think we're very close to your daughter. We go over and I want to get her some good shoes. And Caitlin wants to get her some shoes. So we got her some furry Ugs.

And then we got her some Jordans. And it was a nice little birthday party, but with a lot of really good people there, swimming pool, food. And upstairs, Amy has a ping pong table at her house. And I was like, I'll go play some ping pong. Actually, Amy's daughter was like, let's go play ping pong.

So I go up and Amy's daughter's terrible. She was like, I'm good, I'll beat you, she's terrible. I hit her with the ball twice. And then she was like, I quit. Well, another kid grabs it, and he's like, I'll play you. And he's like 12 or 13. And he starts whooping me. Okay.

And he's whooping me. And I get a point on him, and I nailed it. I hit on the table and hit him in the chest. And I was like, yeah, suck it. Oh, my gosh. I know. Annie's a pastor's kid. Oh, great. I didn't think about it.

Did he cry? No. And I didn't mean to say it like that. That's what I yell at a friend. Awesome. And Kayla goes, you can't say that. And I was like, say what? She goes, when you hit that ball, you yelled, hey, suck it.

You're like, I did? I was like, oh, I shouldn't say that. So I'd like to apologize publicly. That's just something I yell in the heat of the moment. He's whooping my butt pretty good. Yeah. And he continued to walk my butt. He made me pretty bad.

Two times in a row. So, but I did, yeah. I mean, you are competitive, so I understand how that took over. But yeah, let's lay off the suckets. You know, I... So the kids. No more suckets to the kids. Okay.

I promise. It was an accident. And then I had a friend who had a birthday party, and we go over, and it was a really, he's an adult. And how old is he, 35 something? Our friend? Yeah. Yeah, it's probably young 30s. He's a songwriter in town that's got some number one song because that's some success.

so Eddie and I drive over and we're eating and we sit around in a circle and because it's Nashville, they just pass a guitar around and they're famous songwriters there and they're all playing and they're all playing. And they're playing and it goes all the way. And I don't have a left-handed guitar

so I didn't play anything. And so it goes all the way around. Well, Eller, the dog we adopted, got really sick right before we came over and she ate some stuff from the house, even ate a couple of those packs to say, don't eat, you know, those little package packs. Like poisonous, don't eat.

She threw them up, but we're like, kind of watch it over and we had been there a couple hours and we had to get home to check on her. So we left after the guitar went all the way around. But it got to Eddie and I was like, I got to go before Eddie gets the guitar again because I know he's going to want to play a raging idiot song I want me to sing. It's exactly what I wanted. And so right before I got to me, I was like, we got to go. Bye.

Bye, everybody. And I was like, just do one. Please. But we did it. What did you end up playing? Namaste. Oh, you did? I mean, it's hard because, you know, like, we sing that together.

You take most of the vocals. So when I'm by myself, I'm like, oh boy, I don't know, Bobby. parts, which is most of the song, so good luck. It was a fun birthday. I'm never, I'm rarely home to be able to do stuff like that. So I had a really good weekend. And met some listeners at the mall yesterday. It's just starting to be more normalish, you know? Yeah.

It's good. Starting to be more, how'd you feel about your daughter's birthday? I felt good about it. I mean, it's still, we are still in a pandemic. So some parts didn't feel totally normal. Like there's some kids from her school that we didn't invite because we were still trying to keep it small. But I think overall she was happy and that's all that matters

to me. Yeah. She seemed very happy. Yeah. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian University based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. They say higher education is outdated,

Sarah, we appreciate your calling the show. What's going on with you? Oh, okay. So it's, hi, guys, first off, but, um, sorry. But my question is that, um, so it's finals week.

And I may horror, I mean, like, I'm, I'm not the best, like, like test taker nor study person at all because my mind wanders like nobody's business. But my question was, what are some of the best study tips that y'all could give a college kid? Well, mine are going to be extremely cliche, but they are known to work. You have to get enough sleep. You talk about focus. If you don't have the right amount of rest, you're not going to be able to focus. You're going to be exhausted.

And if you're exhausted, you're not going to be dialed into those questions. So you got to get sleep. Obviously, you know how good you are at testing. So you got to sleep right, you got to eat right. Hopefully that room is a little chilly, but also take a little jacket with you as well. Because if you're extremely uncomfortable, you're also going to be focused. It's just about focusing as much on those bubbles as you possibly can. That's the end of it.

You know how you're going to do. It's finals week. Hopefully you got yourself ready for this. And what I want you to take from this, if you're not ready, is the next time they come up, you go, oh no, remember when I wasn't ready? I don't want that to happen again. I'm starting earlier this semester. So you are where you are. You just need to physically be ready for it. That's my advice. It's super cliche, but that's the best thing you can do for yourself now because you're kind of up S Creek unless you know the stuff. I could probably more so tell

you what not to do because I like you, not the best test taker. I procrastinate. Don't cram and stay up all night. Again, that's what I would do. But, yeah, Bobby gave some great advice. I feel like he's the expert in this field. The expert in this field says you should study way ahead of time and prepare yourself. But that's not what. You can't always do that. But just remember, if you go into this one and you struggle, take something from it.

Learn for next time. Like, I'm not going to put myself in the situation again. All right, Sarah, you got to appreciate that call. Good luck. I wish I could just give you like always pick C. That's crap. That doesn't work. That's crap.

No, no, no. Marcy in Mississippi, you're on the show. I appreciate your call. And we were talking about a girl who tried to name her daughter, Cora, earlier, but her name accidentally, she was named Corn. They messed up the A in the end. What do you want to say about this? Morning, studio. Morning.

I will tell you that the hospital screwed up my son's name. His name is Alexander, and they messed up his first certificate and named him Alex Nader. What? Well, so what did you do? I spent about six months and $100 getting it fixed. They couldn't admit it was a typo. I mean, obviously Alex Nader is a typo on their part. They couldn't just go, hey, sorry about that.

Marcy, we'll fix that right up. No, because it got filed with the state. And the worst part was they had brought me a worksheet to verify everything. And I told them then, it is wrong. You have spelled his name wrong. and they're like, oh, okay, we'll fix it. Well, they didn't, and I got his official birth certificate, and he was little Alex Nader.

And you didn't leave it, right? You did fix it eventually. I did. I did fix it just as quickly as I could, although when I get aggravated at him now, I do call him Alex Nader. That's funny. Hey, Marcy, thank you for the call.

Appreciate you listening. All right, thanks. I have a great day. All right, you too, bye-bye. A couple things. Number one, Gabby Barrett, will be on the show tomorrow. Pretty excited about that. We'll get an update from Lunchbox tomorrow

on these celebrity letters. He sent three celebrities a letter. Carrie Underwood, Oprah Winfrey, and The Rock, but he sent him as a seven-year-old. We're seeing if any of them responded. That'll be tomorrow as well. And tomorrow night on Twitch, I'll be hosting the show from my house

doing On Time with Bobby Bones. If you have Twitch or you can download the app. On will be Jordan Davis, Nico Moon, producer Eddie, and Caitlin. Oh, fun. It's just a whole situation. That's the best.

Big day Bobby Bones show Boney up the day This story comes to us from Little Rock, Arkansas A 33-year-old man was getting out of jail about 2.40 a.m. Because public intoxication, he's sobered up, go on home.

Keeps calling people, has no ride. He walks out front and he's like, oh, there's a cop car running. The cop had taken someone in that he was booking into jail, so he jumped in the cop's explorer and drove it home. It's just home. Just parked it?

Yeah, parked it right in. His apartment complex right in front of his door, and they tracked it using GPS, and they were like, well, this guy just got out of jail, knocked on the door. He's like, man, just needed it right home. I don't know. He didn't do any damage to the vehicle, parked it, turned it off, everything. But what happens to him now? He gets arrested for stealing the police vehicle.

But do they take him? They don't take him back to jail, though, do they? Yeah. Of course they do. Where do they take him? They don't feel like, oh, man, at least you didn't go and drive drunk. I don't think they do that. I was kind of hoping they would this time.

All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day. Thank you guys for hanging out. Amy, I know you saw that video that the B-Team made for you. Yes.

I mean, it was so special. I was like, I'm going to hold it together. I'm going to hold it together. And about, I don't know, 30 seconds in, I was bawling crying. And I watched every single person,

the listener, B-teamer hold up a sign telling me that they're with me, thoughts and prayers. And it was so special. And there were different signs from all the different states. Yeah,

it would show their face. It would take a selfie that just said, hey, love and prayers from California. Love and prayers from Arizona. Love and prayers from Kansas. And it was just, I mean, it was so special to see listeners, yes, all over the country just showing support. And a lot of them, you know, wearing Pimp and Joy. And it's just really amazing how our listeners are connected to us and us to them. Like I, I just, I was speechless.

Amy's dad passed away if you wonder what you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah. And then they put together. super thoughtful video. And they even included some pictures of me and my dad at the end and some illustrations where I guess someone had, you know, drawn out some of the photos. And I was just blown away.

It took a lot of time and effort and coordinating and it was super special. Yeah. It was fantastic. And everybody listens to it's on the B-Team page or as a member of the B-Team, we appreciate you guys. Not just for that, but for the continued support. So Gabby Barrett will be on tomorrow.
