Now here he is Turn it up Come by Hey welcome to the show Umoy studio Morning Morning Ryan Hurd comes in later

I'm big fan of this guy Ryan Hurd comes in You know On the show You did it was last week Eddie our video producer sang the national anthem Mostly you were hating on

Andy Grammar Which I thought you were a little rude to do that Because you were like He didn't sing very good Yeah That's normally not what I do But I watched it And I was like

This is a big stage for this guy and then he did a mediocre performance. And then Eddie's like, I think I can sing better. And so what we do on this show is we call people out. We go, okay, big shot, go for it. And then he sang it. On the spot. And he actually sang it pretty good.

You know, it was good. And it was, you know, I wanted to kind of bomb it so we could be like, see it was kind of harder than you thought. I went home. My wife was like, you sounded so good singing the national. I'm like, wow. If my wife thought I sounded good, I'll take it. So what happened after that?

Oh, the offers just started rolling in. I got an offer to do opening game. of the Daytona Tortugas. Is that a baseball team? Yeah, I think it's a minor league baseball team in Daytona. I'm like, dude, opening day, that's amazing. And in my mind, I'm like, okay, you start small, Daytona Tortugas. Then you move on over locally, maybe the Nashville Preds, NHL hockey, then maybe the Titans.

And then, dude, after the Titans, you're talking playoff football, you're talking national championship, and possibly the Super Bowl. Are you going to take one of these offers and go sing the National Anthem? I was asked, I need to ask you. I mean, is it okay? I don't know what. Do they pay you to do that? I don't think so. Yeah, I don't either.

But, but what do you, if you were my agent. Yeah. And I think, you know, we. This is what I would say, what's important to you? Well, America. No. Obviously. Uh-huh.

The national anthem. Is your goal to be a national anthem saying you're on a big stage? Well, see, this is how I look at life. Go ahead. It's not my goal. But I, I'm really in this point in my life where I'm just, I don't want to turn down opportunities. And this one just came up. I'm watching the national championship.

football game. I don't like how the guy sings it. You put me on the spot. I sing the song. It came out pretty good out of my... I mean, this is just... It could be fate. Wednesday, Daytona Tortuga's game. Do you know? Oh, the start of baseball season, so... So, like, March, April? Yeah, I would think. Well, I don't want you to leave the show to do it, but I do think you should start to pursue something locally. I mean... I think you should go do it. You could be like the local go-to guy.

Well, don't some teams have the resident national anthem singing? Most of the time they bring somebody in. But you could sing here, like, we have a minor league baseball team. Sure. You should reach out to them and try to get on. Okay. And then try to get on. He's going to reach out. Yeah.

It's like a resume tape, right? Set up a fake email that's your agent. Oh. Eddie at Red, White and Blue. No, no, no, fake one. This is Henry. Yeah. Henry at Redwine Blusinger.com.

Yeah. You got to take a look at my client. Producer Eddie. You want to come sing. So try to get on in minor league game. Okay. Lunchbox. The Tortugas, I believe, they open Thursday, April 4th.

It's Thursday. See, that's tough. That's tough. You've got to be on the show. How about you guys come to the game and we'll do the show from there? That's interesting. No. But still, I think you should pursue it.

And people are coming after you. I mean, dude, they're coming in. Amy's saying at the Wichita Wing Nets baseball game. Yeah, and y'all all came. We did. It was a whole thing. We flew to Wichita. We liked her more than you.

Yeah. I didn't get paid, Eddie. So, and nobody contacted me after. So good luck. The Bobby Bones Show. Big Three Stories. It's producer, Ramundo. In weather news, 50s and 60s in most places, a lot colder up north.

Out west, tons of rain, snow along the Rocky Mountains. In other news, Netflix raised subscription prices. They went from $11 to $13 every month. Netflix is getting a lot of backlash on social media. And finally, your tax returns won't be delayed. The IRS announced their workers are still working on your tax returns throughout the government shutdown. So there you go.

What do you think the age is when you should have your life together? 30. Yeah? So you're 38? 37? 37? Yeah, do you feel like your life's together? No.

No, you don't. No, but I think I just think 30 is a good age of where you start to get into your career. You figure out maybe if you're in a relationship, if you're going to have a family, I don't know, all the things. The age where, according to the survey where they did like 80,000 people, most people feel the age where we should have your life together is 39 years old. Oh, so I still have time. You still have time. I still have time. That's awesome.

But I think we have different parts of our lives with everybody. Nobody has their whole life together, right? No. Because you're always, if you want something to be, you know, substantially better, you have to sacrifice something else. For me, I've had to sacrifice a lot of my personal life for my career. Now it comes the point where I have so much career going to have no personal life. I'm going, ooh, I'd like to, which means I have to peel back from the career. Like, if you just want to all even, you know, you're really not going to have anything that's, that's topping the charts there.

Yeah. So Amy has a lot of personal life. Yeah, certain things I'm. Well, I mean, when I think of having it all together, sometimes I think if it's like the adulting of it all and the responsibilities and taking care of it. Sometimes I don't even know how it happens, but it happens, you know? Yeah, sometimes you just have to figure it out.

You just figure it out, and I don't even know how we take care of these two kids and they're in school and they go there every day. And it's like... And you didn't even get to grow as parents because you adopted kids they came and there were seven and ten. Yeah, and now they're... So you didn't have that time to grow as parents. Eleven going on 16. Yeah, your daughter?

Yes. a lot. Are the girls that your daughter, I guess she's in homeschool, so there are no kids there, huh? Yeah, she has no really other friends right now. No bad influences.

That's what I'm talking about. Because there was some bad influences at her other school. She would come home with stuff. And now I'm like, she's pretty isolated. She got a teacher and herself. Pretty cool.

Other age milestones, the 29, the average adult should have a solid group of friends. By 31, they should have met and fallen in love with the one by 31. Oh, sorry, mommy. It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay. There's still time. Yeah. This is average. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you have time. 44% of those surveys that they didn't think they'd ever have their lives completely together. I don't think you do get your life completely together.

How can you? Meaning? Like, I mean, you're always got to pay for stuff, you got this, you got, and the older you get, you have kids, so then your life goes out of balance that way. Or, I mean, it's just, there's no way you can have it all together. Mm-hmm. How do you feel about that? At what age? Just people.

25% of people say they're not. love life is a disaster. Oh. No. Yours pretty good? No, besides our fighting about time. Lunchbox? I mean, we fight, so, I mean, I wouldn't say it's a disaster, but I wouldn't say it's all rosy, but I mean...

Any relationship is going to have things that you're working through. No, my time is a disaster. Even friendships. A disaster would be something miserable happening. I'm not miserable. Okay. I'm actually pretty good. All right.

Yeah, I mean, you are climbing rocks with them. I went on one date. See, that's why I didn't even want to mention them one date. Right. Because then it becomes a thing. Yeah, but you did. No, I just said I was sore because I went rock climbing. And then I said, who'd you go with?

And you said, well, there's this girl from yoga. Did you want me to lie? No, but sometimes you say, don't worry about it. Yeah, but then you know I'm lying. Yeah, that's a tough. And you know, I don't want to get into the story. Well, okay, well, there you have it. Long as you're together by 39, you're good.

Okay. Morgan number two, you're the youngest on the show. How do you feel about all this? Yeah, I mean, I would agree with that. I don't feel like my life is all together right now at all. You're also 12. Yeah, you won't. Like at 25, I probably thought at 35, oh, that's when my life's going to be all together.

And you don't deal with, like, drama and friend stuff and gossip and this and that. But guess what? Yep. It still happens. It still feels like high school. Still. You're feeling still get hurt. You still cry about dumb things.

And you're like, oh, my gosh, I'm almost 40 years old. I cannot believe I'm feeling this way. Insecurities, paying bills. Open up. It's opening up. Is it just slowly around? I'm like over there. It's a Bobby Bones show.

Our video producer Eddie has a whole article about tipping. Yeah, I read an article in a magazine, and it broke down all of the percentages of, like, your tab, or just how much money you would tip a bunch of different people. All right, give me an example. Example, the weight staff, you know, it's 15 to 20%. Okay, give me an example, but don't tell me what it is. Okay. All right, go ahead.

Bartender. Oh, of course. I don't drink. But lunchbox, what do you tip a bartender? Oh, if they make the drink strong, I'll give them a dollar. But what if they don't make the drink strong? I'll get you next time. But what if it's a big order?

It doesn't matter. It's just a dollar. Yeah, a dollar. I would think, and again, I'll go to the bar occasionally, but I would, because I don't know the rules, I would just tip 20% there too. Oh, yeah. It's a lot. Is it? Yeah.

Okay, what's the rule? One to $2 a drink. But which one, I don't know which one would be more, though, right? Sounds like, what if your drink's only $4. Yeah, because you buy a. a $3 beer, I'm giving you a dollar tip? That's ridiculous. Yeah.

I mean, that is more than 20. Okay, what else? And the hair salon. Well, I've been with my hair person for a long time. Years. Is she still at a no-tip salon or she moved right? She was at a no-tip and it was a little more expensive. Because I guess the tip was already built in.

Yes. And they don't let you tip. Now I'm in a salon where you tip, and I tip double the price. Whoa! You go all. You just double the bill? Because she... What?

She gives you a great. I will tell you why, because my schedule is so crazy that she will move people because I'm in town for two days or anyway. And so the fact that she'll do that, like, I have to take care of her. She takes care of me. It does say that in the article. Like, if they do go above and beyond or they do extra stuff, well, then yeah, you can tip way more.

What's the hair salon supposed to be? Hair salon is 15 to 20% as well. Okay. What else? Valet. This one's tricky. I didn't know there was an actual number to valet. A $5 bill or all the ones I have.

Unless it's like I'm parking up front and I have to leave really quickly, then like a 10. You know? Yeah. One of those. Are those right? That's kind of what they say, two to five bucks.

Now, if it's raining or it's extra, whatever, you can also do more. I only tip if it's complimentary valet. Like, you know, when the place pays,

like if you pull up and it's free valet, then the valet driver gets a tip. If I got to pay to valet, why do they get a tip? Because they're usually in a garage. They have to pay for the spots, too. And they're still working. And they're still working.

And they're not, it's like a waiter. Like, I'll pay them for the food. Why do I get a tip? Yeah. It's a service, too. What about, like, a repair man. They come to your house. Do you tip them?

No. You don't. Well, no, because normally I'm like being billed by the company somewhere. They don't give me the bill. Did they? No. I try to keep cash and slide them cash. Oh, yeah.

If someone's smart to do something, I give them cash. Yeah. Like when they're done with the job and just like, thank you. Like, I appreciate it. Because listen, I never turned down a tip. Even when I was working a bagging groceries. Yeah. Or working a hobby lot.

I never turned down a tip because I was like, please. Yeah. That's smart. Anything. Thoughtful. What about Sonic? If you go to Sonic. Do you tip the?

Yes. Yeah, me too. Lunchbox? No. No. It's just like going through a drive-thru. They hand you your food. That's all they do.

Yeah. No, sometimes they skate out to you. It's impressive. Yeah. And you know what? If you can, why not? Really. If you can, why not?

But Sonic is the rare place where they get paid way more. Like $7 an hour. Listen, if they bring them out of food. I know. I agree. Give them a little extra song. Do you tip movers? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah. How about, um, do you ever go to the bed? Do women bathroom have bathroom attendants? Like if you go to. At some clubs, if you go to, like even in Nashville on Broadway, sometimes there's someone in there. And it's like, so awkward because you never have money.

And then they're not really, you're like, wait. Sometimes they'll be like, hairspray? And I'm like, no. I'm good. And they'll squirt the soap in your hand for you like you can't do it yourself. I mean, but really you'll get your own food too if you wanted to. It's not. You can go in and get the food.

If they're at the bathroom, I just don't wash my hands. No matter what. That deters me from washing my hands because I don't want the awkward interaction. There you have it, folks. There you go.

That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. There's an auto junkyard in Sterling Heights, Michigan. And what they do when the cars come in to do a deep plane, and so they go through and they take the change out of them, sometimes 12 cents, sometimes they find like $3 or $4.

So what they do is they take all these coins and they end up dumping it into a humongous bucket. They donate 3,000 pounds of spare change to a lot of the local causes of the neighborhood. That's cool. The huge collection of coins ended up being worth $4,500 and they're able to help the school out, the local school and the food pantry.

See, this is like the thing where it's like a little bit can make a difference Because every single person that the money belonged to seemed like a little bit, but then it adds up to a lot. You know what was so fulfilling back in the day was dumping all that stuff in the Coin Star. Oh, that was beautiful. It takes all your change. You dump it all in there. But then they keep a little bit of it.

Yeah, that's a waste. Yeah, but they sort of and count it for you. I know. You're just paying someone to count it for you basically. Or back in the day, you used to go to the bank and get rollers. And you'd roll up your own quarters. That was a pain. That was a pain, right?

But still it's pretty awesome whenever you take them. Oh, I used to recycle cans. and that we'll take and get money to the joys of our childhood that kids won't even know anymore. Now they're all making memes. They don't even know. They don't even know. Lobby Bones Show. Bonehead.

Story up the day. This story comes up from Wayne, New Jersey. A 59-year-old man checked into a Ramada Inn, went to his room, an hour later, and he's like, all right, I think it's the perfect time to go rob the front desk, throws the sheet over his head, goes down to the front desk,

pulls out a gun and says, give me all the money. The guy goes, Didn't you just check in here like an hour ago? Under his real name? Under his real name. I'm lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

I also wonder how much cash you're going to get from a Ramada because most people don't show up and pay cash. I'd never have paid cash at a hotel. It's always credit card. They want your credit card. What are you going to get snack machine money? Right. All right.

There he is. See this guy. All tall and good looking. Have a seat, my friend. We're on the air here. Get those headphones on. Ryan Hurd is here. Let me play some of this new song, by the way. Here's Ryan Hurd to a T. Hey, how you feeling? I feel good. How was the new year? It was really nice. Yeah, what'd you guys do? Marin played in New Orleans for Dick Clark, and then we actually got home in time for midnight. So we were just kind of like sat at the house and had some champagne and then went to bed. Was that performance for New Year's Eve not recorded? They actually recorded a performance the day before because they thought it was going to rain, but then ended up doing it live. Really?

Because I have a lot of friends that played, and they went like a month earlier. Yeah, all the L.A. stuff, I think, was really weird. That's what it was. So I think New York and L.A. were live, which was really cool. It was an awesome event. It's always cool to see, like, her do cool stuff and also, like, see behind the scenes how it all comes together. It was a really fun New Year's. What's the goal for you this year?

Big Ryan Hurd, New Year's Resolution. You know what? I didn't make one. But I'm really happy right now, and I'm excited to make more music and get to put more songs out. So I don't know. I think I learned a lot last year about myself, and I got married, and so this year I'm kind of just enjoying all those things. And, yeah, I don't have any, like, big thing that I want. I mean, we have hopes that, like, maybe we'll sell some more tickets for our shows and get to put a whole album out.

But, like, as far as... For what shows, though, Ryan Hurd? Everything you have is sold out. I was looking online. It's like Hollywood. Sold out. The Bowery Ballroom sold out. New York. Chicago sold out. Exident in Nashville, sold out. Yeah, I want to play more of those. But I mean, they're not even for sale right now. They're even for sale. Oh, anyway, now look at you. Ryan Hurd is here. I'm going to play this song first before we get to talk a little more. This is Tootty. Tell me about this song.

Well, I wrote it with Laura Veltz, who wrote Rich for Marin and I could use a love song, and she's written, She wrote We Do Us, which you played before anybody else. did. And she's just a really close friend that we kind of have come up writing songs with. And I have tons of songs that I've recorded for my record company. And when I played them this one, they kind of stopped everything else and said, this is the one we have to run with. So I don't know. It's just a really, a song that I think is, like, it's a sentiment that everybody feels, but is kind of said in a really fresh way. And it was really fun to write, like, all the word play in the back of the chorus.

And when we put it out, it's definitely been the song that has reacted the most with listeners and fans, and it's been really exciting ride already. Tu-a-Tee, here we go and play this. Wait, do you think of what, maybe in this instance, like Mirren or before you did,

like whatever, do you think of people when you write songs and write specifically about people? There's a joke in Nashville with songwriters, they say that if you're writing a song with Ryan, you're writing a song about Marin. And so that has been going on, I guess, for three years now. And like, it's kind of nice to have a muse that everybody can point to. And nobody has to guess what's being written about.

But it was also really nice to put out a song that's not super personal because we put out, like, Love in a Bar, and that was like an autobiographical song. We put out diamonds, and that was Diamonds Are Twine, and that was like our wedding song, and now it's just nice to put out just a straight-up love song that's not super specific to anything. I really do love that it's obviously about her. And she's singing on it, which is cool. It's just she knows she can sing on whatever she wants to. Oh, Marin sings on it? That's her in the back?

Yeah, she's just doing the harmonies. And she liked this song before anybody else didn't, told me I was really stupid for not putting it out. But she just kept saying, you need to put out to a tea. You need to put out to a tea. And then I was going to put out something different. And then ended up that this was the right choice. and I have a really, a really good A in our team.

On the Bobby Bones show now. Ryan Hurd. Hey, so you have another number one since we saw you last. Ryan Hurd wrote this song too. Do you want to write this? Yep. I picture, actually, when I'm in the car, if this comes on, this is weird. But I picture you, like, painting a house.

What do you mean? It's weird. Well, because I know he wrote it. And when he's talking about getting out the paint and painting the lakehouse or whatever, I like him picturing him painting. It's weird. You picture Ryan painting, not Luke. Yeah, Ryan.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's cool? Yeah. I don't know who the girl. You picture me doing all the work. Yeah, yes. I remember when Luke, because I was on American Idol last year, and I'm back on this year, but I think Luke played this on the Idol finale, and it was the first time he had played it,

and I was so happy for you. Yeah. I'm happy for Luke, but Luke's rich and Luke's awesome. He's, you know, Luke's here. But I was happy for you because I was like, hey, Ryan's song. Like, he's going to pay the bills for a while now. It's good. That dude is exactly what you see with him.

exactly what you get. He is everything you see on television he is that nice in person and he's a genuine dude and he went out of his way to mention my name and other songwriter's names and usually I mean there's whatever 60 songs on the chart right now

and a lot of times nobody will ever know who wrote those songs but it's really cool I have somebody like just really go out of their way to make sure that like the songwriters got mentioned like there's a at his show he had a billboard kind of in the back, like all over the bar, and all over his backstage and, like, in the crowd

saying, like, thank you, Ryan Hurd, Chase McEwills at Crowell for writing, like, with the album art and stuff like that. And he, I don't know, he's just a really special guy. I think, like, our genre is really lucky to have him. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Ryan Hurd. Yeah, I like your necklace, your chain there. Thanks, man.

You know what? You were talking about a muse earlier. You've been my muse a bit. For jewelry. That's a high compliment. Well, because how long ago, Amy, was I talking about, I don't know. like to wear a necklace or a chain like Ryan Hurd? Like middle of last year.

I think it looks like you have one. I do. I still, this is in your honor. That's awesome. I still wear it. That's a good one too. Look at this.

See, I wear, all right, we're going to get into it now. But you're the inspiration. That's cool. You're my inspiration. That's a huge compliment. Wow, you got more. You have necklaces. I wear this one every day under my shirt.

Yeah. It's this little like. Crystal? It's a crystal that I got from this lady who made Maron's an engagement ring. Actually, my wedding ring too. But I wear this one every day. and then I switch out the one on the outside of the shirt.

So that's my secret. But when I first started wearing this chain, Amy gave me such crap. I did. Oh, because it was awkward because Bobby's not a necklace guy. And then all of a sudden he was like... You start like that, though. You start wearing it on the inside and you get, I kind of used to it. And then you get a little more adventurous and then you start wearing bracelets.

Yeah, I need to work on the Audi. Can you like find me a good Audi one to wear? Totally. No, we can totally do this. We'll text about it. Ryan's cool. Because what's the one you're wearing on the outside today? It's like turquoise beads, but what's the thing?

It's like a little Buddha hand. It's cool. I don't know. It's, uh, I don't know. I have like a, the same hand with like a, I don't know. I honestly don't even know what it is. To be honest. It does look for.

Whatever happens. It just looks. I just enjoy how it looks. So. Are you good otherwise? Like everything good? You're about to crank into this year? Yeah.

I, I think, I'm really happy right now. I don't really know what else to, there's not a lot. there's not a lot of stuff in my life that I would get rid of at the moment. So that's a good way to start the new year. Yeah, that's a good way. You've got to put up this new song. It's called Michigan for the winner. Yeah.

You're from Michigan. Yeah. Ryan's a big hockey guy. I go up in Arkansas. I don't know anything about hockey. So Ryan, I would be at hockey games. We go to like the Preds game. Yeah.

I'd be like, dude, walk me through this. Yeah, I grew up around it. I wish I played because I, you, You have to start when you're like seven or eight years old, so I grew up playing baseball and stuff that my dad grew up playing. But yeah, this song, I wrote this song took like three or four months to write. I wrote it with like my friend Aaron, who's from Michigan too, and we started it and then took like three or four times getting back to write it.

And I ended up finishing it like in the shower one day. I was just like taking a shower and it's like, I got it. So I wish, I don't know, this is one that I feel like I should have put out a long time ago just because I don't know. This is kind of like the most me song I've ever really put out. It's kind of the best example of what I do as a songwriter. So I'm, I don't know, really just thankful that I got to put it out. I was looking at your Twitter.

Apparently there's a scientist named Ryan Hurd. Oh, my gosh. Because I'm so jealous that you have your name as a handle. Because some dude named Bobby Bones. It doesn't even use it. It blocks people. It's Bobby Bones. And I have Mr. Bobby Bones.

And you have Ryan Hurd. But this guy's actually kind of famous. So, all right. When I started using Twitter, I was at Herd Jams with a Z. Oh, wow. Good thing you got away from that. Oh, my gal. My friends still call me that.

Herd Jams. Yeah. Because I was just joking around. I was just a writer and didn't have a public anything. And so, but this guy, he's a dream scientist, and his name is Ryan Hurd. And he got so sick of people, like, reaching out to him thinking that he was me. Yeah. ended up getting in touch with him being like hey man what would it take he was like thank you so much so

I had you know had to did you pay him yeah they tried to buy Bobby bones for my birthday and the guy wouldn't sell it yeah he was 18 he wasn't giving it up and I'm like he's 18 he's 18 he should give it up for like 20 bucks if he's 18 yeah oh yeah it was did you see what the scientist changed his handle to no science jams with a jay what is he yeah dreams yeah no he's actually a very interesting dude, he, like, it's wild what he does. He's actually the top of his field, so. So now you like our friends with him? I'm, we're friendly.

Do you ever text him? No. You asked him about your dreams? No, but he was, like, very thankful to get out of at Ryan Hurd. Well, Ryan Hurd is here with us. Man, look at you. This is your year, man. Thank you.

It's kind of fun, too, because you've played so many of my songs, and now, like, we're getting to run with Two a T, and that was one you really got behind. And so finally one that you've supported is going to get to the radio across the country. To me it's not even about that. To me it's not about what gets played. I just like find good songs and play them. Well, that's why people love your show. And I think it's, I don't know, I've always been really thankful for the support you've thrown my way. And even before I had anything going and like to finally have one that's like, all right, everything's behind this one.

And, you know, it makes me thankful for what you've done. And also, like, thankful that we get to run with this song for the year. Well, my friend, I'm very happy to see you. You too. I'm glad to see that you're getting good support now. Like your team's going, not just your team, but like the team, the label team, the record team's going. We got one here. Man, they've been super supportive and I'm really pumped to get to do everything I get to do with Sony music.

and your wife wants to have a birthday party for it? Yeah, she wants to have a half-birthday party. She said, and I thought this was the most ridiculous thing ever. She goes, no, all new parents with newborns, they throw a six-month birthday party to celebrate. Like a real party, we have to spend money and people come over? Yeah, like, she wants to invite people over, have a cake, have balloons, have decorations. And I think that is the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life. What did you tell her when she suggested it? I said, oh, that's funny. She goes, no, no, everybody does. I said, you are ridiculous.

I said, I will take it to the show and they can decide if there's a half-month or half-year birthday party or not because I don't want to look like the fool like, hey guys, come to my kids, half birthday. Like, when did you ever celebrate a half birthday? Okay, so do we get to make the judgment? Cool. If we vote on it?

No, no, no, no, no, no. I don't want to rule and... No, no, no, you said you were going to bring it to the show. You said you got a braily show. Yeah, but you guys... We can do a five-person vote. But I have a fit... No, no, no, because you guys are going to do this out of spike. No, we won't. I promise you, we won't. Oh, I didn't even think about that. No, I did. I did. That's why Bobby said. No, no, no, I won't do that.

I promise you I feel the same way regardless if you allow it or not but let us let us decide hold on oh man I don't know if I should do that and whatever we say you have to do no

okay all right but you can't do no you got a promise you're not going to do it on spite Eddie I promise Amy so it's going to be Amy me me Eddie

Morgan number two are digital and Ramundo you guys will all be the votes okay because that means you guys all have to buy half birthday presents you go to party all time

don't bring presents I'm just telling you. Okay. Are you ready? Amy, you go first. Should he have the half birthday party? I have never in my life ever heard of a half birthday party. That's just so crazy to me.

Like, why would you... The stress of throwing a party once a year is a lot, so you add another one into the mix. But, I mean, I do think it's kind of cute and special, so... Yes. Oh, wow. One vote. You just said... One vote for yes.

Wow. One vote for yes. Let's go to producer Eddie. Look, I have two kids. I've never heard of this either. I don't believe in it. I'm with lunchbox and this. What a waste of money.

Like, the kid's not going to remember. He's six months old. Don't do it. No. Wow, okay. Let's go to Raymundo. Raymundo, lunchbox is a sixth month old baby.

Should he have a half birthday? I'm going to go with the times I've gone to the card stores, and there isn't a six-month card. So I have nothing to bring. It just doesn't make sense. We're forcing something. No six-month birthday party. Let's check the tally board here.

Two votes for no. One vote for yes. Okay, I'll go. There you go. So I think that you have entered into a union with your wife. Yeah. And marriage, it seems really cool. I've never been married.

Yeah, it's cool. Sometimes. But it seems like you should always look out for each other. And what's important to her should be important to you. And it's not like you have to do this every half year. It's just the first half year birthday. And if she really wants to do it, if it means that much to her, why would you not do it? She's so excited to have a new baby.

She obviously loves the crap out of it. Why won't you let her love it? No, you can love it. No, I love it. I vote half birthday. Yes. Yes. Yeah.

So now we have one left. We're going to go to Morgan number two. The tiebreaker. Who is our head of digital. She is 25 years old. Morgan number two. How do you feel about the half birthday party? All right.

I definitely think that you should. not do it. Yeah! Wow. So, boo! I just don't think everybody else needs to be brought into the mix, but maybe he should take her out to dinner as like a compromise.

You vote no? Yeah. I like it. I'm with her. I mean, that's going to make the first year birthday party way more special. Could you imagine if every six months on a birthday party first day? I mean, that would be so annoying.

That is so awesome. But you don't have to do it. He's just one time because he's only six months old one time. But Bobby, when the baby is one year, in six months and two years in six months. I want you to break the candle in half if it blows out.

So the answer is lunchbox, you're in the clear. Ah, yes. Thank you guys. You can go over to our Facebook page and... Y'all are no fun. You're no fun.

You're no fun. You're no fun. Raise like, there don't make half month birthday cards. It's true. Or half year. Find me one.

But they make just happy birthday. They don't put numbers on every birthday card. They just say happy birthday. I mean... Okay. Lunchbox, you don't have to have a birthday party. There you go.

You're in the clear. There it is. And there's your update. For the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Man, it's been a rough time for this eight-year-old named Paren Miller. He's from Wilmington, North Carolina, and his family, they were visiting relatives in Utah

for the holidays when he started getting headaches. Again, he's only eight years old. But they took him to the ER, and they discovered he had a brain tumor. So he had to have surgery right there in Utah. They just went into action right there. And he's been missing his dog, Frank, because he's been recovering the last several. weeks and kind of the story started to get in the news and people in Wilmington started finding out and there's this former truck driver named Bob Reynolds doesn't even know the Millers. He decided

to pick up Frank their dog and drive 2,300 miles and 52 hours to deliver Frank the dog to the family. And then he said once y'all are recovered in Utah and you're ready to go back home. If you're flying, you need me to drive the dog, I'll come back, pick the dog up, driving back home. That's pretty cool. It gives me, like I have used to. Yeah, me too. Like a little bit, I got the chills. And I want to say his name again. Former trucker Bob Reynolds. Because you're the man.

That's a good one. That's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bob at Bonson. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two's 30 second skinny. Keith Urban is performing at Loretta Lynn's birthday tribute in Nashville and her only wish is to have Keith Urban jump out of a birthday cake.

And Keith responded with your wish is my command. You know, if we get to ask, I'll also have Keith Urban jump out of my birthday cake. That would be nice, huh? Yeah, I don't know if you're up there with Loretta Lynn, but maybe. All right. What else, Morgan, number two? John Party is headed out on tour with Dirk's Bentley, and he says the one thing he won't do on tour is one of those ice baths with Dirk's. Yeah, Dirk takes these ice bats on the road with him, and he gets in them all the time. I can't do an ice bath either. I don't like cold. And I don't know if you women have this problem with your woman parts.

But I can't submerge mine in cold water. Okay. Do you? I mean, I've done an ice bath before. Do you guys have an issue with that or no? No, I mean, an ice bath is sometimes you need it. I mean, I think it hurts all parts of your body. It hurts.

It doesn't. My fears. And my calves, it's all uncomfortable. But when it's, I mean, I can't even do a hot, hot bath. Okay. So you're sensitive. Yeah, my sensitive is very sensitive. I'm just saying.

All right, what else? Tricia Yearwood is putting out another album this year. aside from the album of Frank Sinatra covers. She has a country album that's almost finished and will be out fall of this year. All right, awesome. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny.

Folks, it's your buddy and my Mr. Bobby Bones. Let me know. Got a few things to talk about this hour. One, Sharna and I got our mirror ball tattoos. We'll talk about that. And also we'll get into, you know, some of the stuff from the Million Dollar Show we didn't get into yesterday,

including there was a story people magazine wrote about my ex-girlfriend and I. Did you see the story at all? No, I haven't. Okay, I'll bring that up to. That's interesting. It was interesting. I'll just wait for a second. Okay, we'll come back to it.

Over now to Amy with the joke. Here we go. The Morning Corny. What do you call a fancy sea creature? What do you call a fancy sea creature? Sophisticated. Okay, I can do that. I could do a little wordplay there.

I could do that. Okay. All right, thank you, Amy. That was the morning corny. Last night was my final night on the Dancing with the Stars Live tour, and they make us book under aliases into the hotels. So they don't want people come into the hotel and going, hey, I'm looking for, you know, Gleb or Bobby Bones.

And so you get to pick your aliases, now that the show is over, I'll tell you mine. Do you want to know mine? Yes, of course. Of course. Because you're never going to use it again, right? No, never. I feel ridiculous doing it to begin with, but they made us all, and I will share mine. Last night was my swan song of dancing, because I went on dancing with stars, crazily, won that show, and I went out and done some tour dates. I did some tour dates with them. And so I've been on tour with them for like five, six, seven shows. I'm not sure.

I don't even like dancing anymore. Like at the club, I like dancing. What? to the bar. I can shake it a little bit. I have a little confidence in that. I just don't like doing all the steps and stuff because I'm with pro dancers too. So last night was fun because I knew that even if I did really bad, hey, who cares? And then we're going to do it again. Did you last one. Yeah. It's my last one. And it was in New York City, a radio city musical. And I forgot that they put me under an alias at the hotel. They make us all go under aliases so people don't find out where the hotel is or they don't find our rooms. And after the show, which was like 1130 or midnight last night, I go to the hotel to check in

and they don't have my name. They don't have Bobby Bones. They don't have my real name. They don't have anything. And I'm like, oh my goodness, it's midnight and I can't get in this hotel. And so I'm calling around and I call someone at the show

and they're like, it's under your alias. And I was like, oh, right? Like 45 minutes. I couldn't get into this hotel. And so I checked under my alias and got to my room, no problem. It's completely booked. It's so weird they can book you under a fake name.

With all the security things we have in place. Right? Because you have to show an ID, right? Yeah. So I showed them my ID And then it was under a fake name Okay, I don't know how they did that They let us pick our fake names

Before the tour even starts And so if anybody gets my fake name right I'll give you $10. Let's go over to our video producer Eddie Eddie, go ahead What was your hint? Someone from history. Yeah, I got it.

Andrew Jackson from Tennessee You live in Tennessee President Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson. Come on, Boones. Incorrect. Oh, sorry, there you go. Let's go over to lunchbox.

Okay, I got two people it could be, and these are super famous people. One is Dalai Lama. What? Dali Lama. Incorrect. Okay. The next one. Wait, and he gets two?

Yeah, yeah. They're only worth five bucks each, though. Go ahead. That's fine. I'll take the $5 for Mohammed Gandhi. That's not a person. That's not his name. It's Mahatma Gandhi.

Oh. So, Mahatma Gondi. No, no, not Gondi. Gumby. Mahootie, Gagambi. Well, whatever his name is, that's who my guess is. Mahatma and the Blowfish. Because you guys taught me that he was real.

I thought he was just that green guy. No. That's Gumby. I know. But this guy's real, guys. No, those are both wrong. Amy, go ahead. Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln. Oh, quality guess, but not right. So, no. How was hers quality of mine? Well, Abe Lincoln's solid guess. strong president, one of our greatest. I do love him. Read books on him.

No, my name under the hotel is Amerigo Vespucci. Who's that? Is he an explorer? Yeah, really one of the most under-credit of all time. I'm fascinated with him because let me tell you guys, Christopher Columbus didn't discover crap. He didn't discover America. Christopher Columbus only ever landed in Haiti.

He never came to the mainland. And when we had to invent a backstory of our history, as early as we could remember, we just went Christopher Columbus discovered the new world he never came to America you knew who did Amerigo Best Fucci

that's who America's named after What a fraud No So why do we celebrate Columbus By the way We should stop celebrating Columbus Day The worst human Like enslaved people

It was a whole ordeal He's a bad dude Bones you sure about all this Yeah So why do we have Columbus Day If he didn't discover America That makes no sense Well you should actually say

why do we say in the year of 1492, did Columbus sail the ocean blue and come to discover America? He did sell an ocean blue. But again, he landed in what they think is Haiti, at least the Bahamas. So anyway, my alias has been a merry-go Vespucci for the past month and a half. There it is. So they're like, what's your name, sir? Oh, Vespucci? They're like, no chance.

This is a miracle. Yeah. They're like, hmm, you're very pale for a Vespucci. It's like sometimes I will, I'll have Uber Eats. Mike D will be on the road. And Mike D is Hispanic and I'm super white. And I'll order, or Mike D will order under his name and I'll walk out and pick it up. And his last name is, like, really, it's Rodriguez.

And here I come out, like, as Caucasian as can be. And I'm like, yeah, I've got to order for Rodriguez. And they're like, uh, they're like, look at their phone. Uh, okay, Mr. Caucasian. So anyway, that's my name, Amerigo Vespucci on the road, has been. And now we got a history lesson too, right? Nice. Thank you for that. Do you guys feel good about that or no?

We said if we won, we would get mirrorball tattoos. And so, I had a few options for her. I let her kind of pick which one we did. It was either the outline of the mirror ball. It was a total blacked out mirror ball Or it was just the word mirror ball And we kind of switched it up on everybody And the blacked out mirror ball

Kind of look like when you drive into a town And they have a water tower And so we didn't do that Yeah, I can see that. And then the other one, the outline, I thought was fine But she wanted to go with the words Which I kind of like that idea too And we both put it on the back of our arm

And I put it on my arm with all my tattoos anyway But yeah, we have our tattoos Here's a clip of the video That's up on my Instagram story right now All right, we're in a tattoo shop right now Yes, we are. And we're going to get our mirror ball tattoos. Yes, we are.

Are you going to go first or am I? I think you should go first. Well, then you can back out if I, you don't like what happened to me. I won't back out. I promise you I will not back out. We're going to start now. Here we go. That's pretty tough, though.

I got it. That's so awesome. Didn't cry that much. And it's, you know, it's not super big or anything, but it will fall off my Instagram story in the next four hours, I think. So if you want to see it, my Instagram name is Mr. Bobby Bones. But yeah, we got him. I felt like more than anything. And so did she.

that we just owed it to our listeners because we said we were going to do it. So we did it. Do you see the video? Yeah. Looks good. Yeah, thanks to Adam the kid. Because we went in on a Monday he wasn't working and he's like, yeah, I got it. Oh, that's so cool.

Yeah, it was good. So everybody's been asking. Now I still owe a microphone tattoo from the Radio Hall of Fame. Yeah. And apparently I still owe your face. That's right. Because when I went to Haiti, you said you were going to get my face tattooed on you. That's not exactly how it went down.

Yeah. You said if I went to Haiti to the orphanage where your kids were, that you would get my face tattooed on you, right? If you ever went to Haiti. Yeah, that's how I remember it. Like, I thought we would go together and you tricked me. All you said was if I went. That's all you said.

Okay. That's what I'm saying. A study found that having a work spouse, like a platonic partner in the workplace, can be good for your career and can be good for your overall happiness at work. Would you say, Amy, that I am your work spouse? Yes.

Is that uncomfortable for you to say? No. Is it uncomfortable for you? Nah. But I don't have another spouse. Would you say I am? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes I just say you're my normal spouse too

Okay, that's getting weird They're like for insurance purposes only there It's basically making someone at work your best friend, right? A survey found that most business professionals say they currently have a work spouse Or have had one in the past Eduardo or a video guy, do you have a work spouse? I mean, not really, maybe you,

but I already have a spouse. I don't need two of them. That gets complicated. But it's a work spouse. That's right. I think Eddie's awesome. Man, I got so many wives. I'm bawling over here.

You are. Yeah. I'm like a work polygamist, huh? Crazy. Lunchbox, do you have a work spouse? No. A work spouse is able to cover for you. They also know you so well they can help with your home issues if they need to.

And they're always going battle for you at the water cooler when you're not around. Listen, Amy always has my back. I don't know about Eddie all the time. But I know that if there's something and Amy's not around, and I'm not around, like Amy will stab somebody for me. Yeah, and the same. I'll do the same for you. Yeah, but we also have our, we're not just like always. Like, we also have our frustrations with each other too.

That's what marriage is like, Amy. Come on. Get up the program. Like, I'll roll my eyes a lot and I'll get annoyed a lot. But it's fun. One of the biggest fights that Sharnan and I, about rolling eyes, that Sharnan and I had during Dancing with the Stars, because they didn't put any of our fights on camera during the season, was she got so mad at me once because I rolled my eyes at her. And I get it. Rolling your eyes really, it irritates the crap out of me. It's the worst emoji. When Amy sends me an eye roll emoji, I want to just strangle my phone. And so we were training in Austin and she got so mad she left the room.

She's like, you can't roll your eyes with me. And I was like, what? I don't even roll my eyes in normal life. Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think I've ever seen you roll your eyes. So you must have been really irritated. No, this is what happened. This is communication problems. to happen because in marriages, this stuff happens. And I think she was a bit of my work spouse

for a few months. But I was getting so motion sick because I was doing so many spins that I was losing my balance. And my eyes were like, whoa. So you weren't even rolling your eyes? No, no. You just had like vertigo. Yes. And she thought I was rolling my eyes and she got so, we were both exhausted too, right? It was like, a season was almost over. I've been traveling doing stand-up. I was in Austin. We had to go to Nashville, then back to California. We were both just so whooped. And I roll my eyes and she was like, I can't do this. I'm out. And I was like, I don't know if I roll my eyes. I'm so sorry.

Yeah, you don't. You're not an eye roller. I am. And it's really bad because my daughter is. And I get so irritated when she rolls her eyes at me. But then I'm like, I guess I can't really get that mad because she's getting it for me. And then now my son says, duh, all the time. He always is, I'll say something.

He'll be like, duh. And I'm like, you really need to not do that. He said, Mom, I got it from you. That's what he says? Yes. That's funny. And I was like, oh, shoot. I do say duh.

So, got to work on that. Your daughter does roll her eyes so big. Oh, it's a problem. It's like a rainbow. That big an eye roll. It's like, up, down. Yeah, no, I mean, and she gets in trouble for it, but I have to work on it myself.

But she doesn't get in trouble just for the eye roll. It's the eye roll. Also with the, and the just other disrespectful things. So it's a combo. Valentine's, Day is just around the corner. Wow, less than a month. By the way, let me throw this at you. If you're listening to me right now and you're a dude, call a restaurant now and get your reservation because you're going to wait until February

12th and everything's going to be booked unless it's 3 p.m. or 11 p.m. So right now, your buddy Bobby is telling you to call a restaurant, whichever one you want to go for Valentine's Day, and make your reservation now. This is not a commercial. I don't care where you call. But it's going to happen. You're going to go, oh, what do we do? And you can't get anywhere. So there you go. A little PSA for you. You might be looking for something special to give that X that still lingers in your mind. All for the low price of $2, you can name a cockroach after your ex.

Oh my goodness. Yeah. Actually, a pretty good idea. It's all thanks to a conservation center, and the money goes to all the zoo programs. So it's very generous. But it's also vindictive. So if you've got a beef with your ex, you can name a cockroach after them. In their honor, over $2.

Yeah. Did you ever have an ex that you absolutely hated? Yeah, in high school. You did? Mm-hmm. This People magazine story, because they came out to The Raging Idiots, which is Eddie and my band, we did this big show two nights ago. And a lot of artists came by. Luke Bryan played with us, Lady Annabellon played with us, Cole Swindell, John Party.

It was this major event. And we had a bunch of people stop by and surprised us. One of them was Sharna, my dance partner. Christian Bush from Sugarland. Gavin DeGraw showed up and played. Also, I brought out Lindsay L. who is my ex-girlfriend. And so, and she played this song,

which was written about me, right? We're not together anymore. We haven't been for a while. Right. And they wrote this whole thing about it, and it says, The night was a three-hour, phantasmic display of music.

A surprise guest of the evening was Lindsay L. who Bones dated for about a year. Her appearance apparently was a surprise to Elle, who emerged from a backstage, when he dared the crowd, do you want to see something awkward? Do you want me to bring out my ex-girlfriend?

I did do that. And then she walked out, I'm like, is this awkward? And I said, and I did the whole thing. I'm like, hey, how's your mom? You still from Canada? There's a whole thing. Are you still? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was good. You know? And she's a great artist, and we're friends now. But I think people, and then she would stop playing a song and people would start screaming, you messed up bones. Oh, really? Oh, gosh. So it turned into a whole thing.

That's good. Like, she's good. And we're good. And also, people always really wonder, like, do you guys still really get along? I thought bringing her out of the show would be good. Yeah, that shows. A man threatens to kill someone with kindness and then stabs him with a knife that says kindness on it. A guy in Florida threatened a neighbor last week when he was going to, quote, kill him with kindness.

And then he grabbed a knife with the word kindness written on the blade. He was arrested for aggravated assault and battery. He threatened, I'm going to kill you with kindness. And then he went and got his knife named kindness. The neighbor's going to be okay. Thank goodness. But again, the guy was arrested. That's funny you have a knife named kindness, huh?

We're going to go over to Morgan number two with what 25-year-olds care about. Now, here we go. There's a new pillow out there, and it's called the ostrich pillow. It looks super funky, but it's meant for an on-the-go sleeper. It has a hole for your nose and mouth to breathe out, but then it has covers over your eyes and on your neck, and there are like two open holes on the side for you to put your hand. in if you want to lay your head on the table. Wait, so, where do you put your mouth?

It has a hole for, like, your mouth and your nose to breathe. Oh, you put it all the way over your head. Yes. So you take this pillow, it's like a ski mask, but it's a humongous pillow. So you pull it in over your head. And much like the ski mask where you would breathe through that little hole, there's a hole, but the pillow is like a big mushroom on your head. Oh, yeah, yeah.

Okay, so I've been watching Schitt's Creek, and the mom has one of those. One of the pillows over the head? Yes. Oh my gosh, that's so crazy. When she had it on, I was like, that looks really, really comfortable. Like, you could block out everything. It doesn't matter which way your head goes because you've got a pillow and just like, oh. By the way, that's spelled S-C-H-I-T-T.

Oh, okay. Thank you, Bones. Yes, there's a reason I never see the name of that show on the air even while talking about it. I thought you would. Sorry. That's not a bad word. I don't cuss. No, not when you have to explain it.

Okay. Because it sounds like something else. Yes. Oh. If someone doesn't know what that show is, Amy. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm new to it. I'm brand new. That's why I guess I got excited because I just saw an episode with her wearing that. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I wasn't saying the bad word. So it's not S-C-H-I-T-T. It's their last name.

S. Yes. Okay, thank you. Thanks for clarifying, bone. Y'all didn't know that? No, Amy, most people don't watch that show. Some people do. And it just sounds like you're saying a bad word. And I've heard that expression before. Of course. That's why the show's named that. Oh, I've never heard that expression. Yeah, like going up. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, okay. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Yeah, home is something good. Out in Albuquerque, New Mexico, you know, firefighters, they work 48 hours on and then 24 off. They're away from home a lot, and they like to cook home-cooked meals. They don't have grills. So there's an appliance company in Albuquerque that went around to fire stations

and donated brand new grills to the fire stations so they could feel like home and they could grill up some burgers and have a good old atmosphere at the firehouse. I like that. Yeah. That's a good one. You know, what I've started to like a lot more on this show is when we find stories that aren't so much about people giving $10 million to something. Because that's not a normal thing. But stories where people go out and just help people with time or 80 cents or $17.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I think a story like this could trigger someone listening that maybe they're looking to give way a grill. and now maybe they'll look at their local fire department and be like, hey guys, you want our grill? Yeah, and I need to give a shout out to Baylo's appliances. They're the ones that were the ones giving the grills away. So shout out to them.

That's great. All right, thank you, lunchbox. That was Tell Me Something Good.

So I do a show for my... from my house called the Bobbycast and you can find it wherever you listen to your podcasts. It's IHeart Radio or wherever you listen to a podcast, search one word bobbycast. But I'm going to tell you there is one person in particular. When he comes to the house and sits down,

it is always gold. And sometimes we get along and sometimes we don't on air because we're actually pretty good friends. But it's Jake Owen, man. That guy brings it when it's time to bring it to a show. Have you listened to the new Bobbycast? I haven't yet.

So he just talks about whatever. And so here's Jake going. First, we talked about him getting married. He says he's not in a rush to get married right now, but he thinks that Erica is the one. Dude, I think marriage is unbelievable. I think it's an unbelievable partnership when you find that person that's supposed to be that way.

And I really believe that Erica is that person. I'm sure in some point in the future we're going to get married. But right now I'm just not in a rush to do it. Like, everything in my life I've worked hard for to plan out, and I had a little bump in the road, which is part of life a few years back. But I had the greatest gift come from it with my little girl. Me not marrying her has nothing to do right now with me not loving her feeling fulfilled.

I just, I don't know. I feel like we're a different place in the world where, I don't know, marriage is an interesting thing, man. He's been married before and he's having another baby. And he's talking about the baby. And he goes, I couldn't let anybody know because it was so early. And so he had to let someone know. Here is him letting a random person, letting him know that he's going to have a baby.

She told me the day before and I was so excited. I wanted to tell someone, but I couldn't tell anyone. But I realized, but I could tell someone that didn't know me. There was this lady standing behind us in the line. And she kind of, she said, how are you today? And, like, my answer to her was, I'm awesome. My girlfriend's pregnant. We just found out.

And Eric was like, what are you doing? How can you're telling her? She's like, oh my gosh. I said, you're the only person that knows. Like, and she's like, what? I go, how does that feel? You're the only person that knows about this child we're about to have. And the lady didn't know who I was or anything.

But she's like, wow, I feel really special. I said, you should. So that's my answer. how I let people know. So it's the Jake Owen Bobbycast. It's over an hour long. It's so good. Like, this dude is so good when he comes on the show.

You know, and I think also we kind of sit into a place where we're such good friends. You kind of forget there are microphones in front of you. Here is Jake Owen, and this is news right here. This is crazy. He's going to be in a movie that starts filming next month. It has Casey Affleck in it. It's like a real movie. Oh, wow.

It hasn't been announced yet. Here is Jake talking about that. I'm about to be a movie, though. So it's got Casey Afflex in the movie, Dakota Johnson. I think the title is the best friend. And you're acting with lines. Yeah. When do you start shooting?

Next month. Look at that. Yeah, and Fair Hope, Alabama. How long do you shoot? For, I think, a month. Really? Yeah. And I've never acted before, and I've never done that.

And I kind of want to be pushed. I want to see if I can do it. That's pretty cool. I could fall. It could be terrible, you know, but I'm going to do it. Breaking news, Jake Owen will be in a movie called The Best Friend. Here's one more clip. We kind of get on.

First of all, we talk about him for a lot, and he always loves to talk about me, and he talks about how I'm not as weird as I used to be. Here you go. Has all this fame and when dancing with the stars made you weirder? Because that's where we were last time. I said you were weird. I don't feel there's a fame element here. I actually feel like it's taking some of the weirdness away from you.

Because you can't dodge it now. Like, you're in so many different spotlights, and people are wanting, you can't be as weird as you used to be. I don't understand what that means weird, though. You have so much extracurricular things happening that I find, at least for my life personally, for me to be happy, I have to have outlets, things that are like things that are like hobbies of mine that I love to do. And if someone said to me like, hey, man, what do you think Bobby's hobbies are? But honestly, I would say you're one of those guys, a couple other friends of mine that are very successful. I don't know what they do outside of work.

So listen to the whole podcast. It's fantastic. Love that guy. Jake Owen, just search for the Bobbycat. episode 151. And many thoughts on that. Well, what, yeah, now I'm wondering, I'm trying to think of what you do outside of work.

But you box? I practice work. Well, even boxing, like, I've turned that into work now. Because I have a couple of gyms. Wow, you just can't help yourself. I love what I do. Why can that not be a hobby? Like, I'm lucky enough to love what I do.

Yeah. Eventually I'll get a girlfriend and I'll have to do things like knit. I don't know. I'll have to sit around and knit. Okay. And watch This is Us. You know? So yeah, anyway, there's that Jake Owen.

Episode 151 is fantastic. It sounds like sometimes he's turned the interview on you. Completely. Completely. The whole time. I can't wait to listen. I just want to play a bunch of clips about me because who cares. Yeah.

I'll talk about me for four hours. Two nights ago we had the raging idiots. That's my band. Our million-dollar show at the Riemann. It was our fourth one. A lot of great artists stopped by to play with my band. and Luke Brian, Lady A, Cole Swindell, John Party, Maggie Rose. I mean, there were like Three Doors Down, which, by the way, was one of the coolest things.

We sang Kryptonite. I sang it as loud as I could, and I didn't ruin it. It was amazing. And then Brad, if Three Doors Down gave us $10,000 for St. Jude. It was an amazing night. And at the end, I told Eddie and a couple of other people that were still at the show, because it was a three-hour show. And some of the early artists that went home, I thought. I said, hey, at the end, after Luke Brian's done,

let's just all go back out and let's sing Stand By Me with the crowd because everybody knows the words. I wanted to just sing along at the end. And I said, I'll just start it. So we go out and then everybody comes walking back out. Luke's out there, Gavin McGrath's out there, Cole, Swindell's out. The stage is covered with every artist. It's like we are the world, but for St. Jude.

Oh, that's cool. And so I'll play you like a minute or so of the clip because you kind of hear everybody sing. We start singing as a group and then you hear Gavin come in. You hear Luke come in and take solos. So here is Stand By Me. I don't know what the audio sounds like on the radio if it's real bad. I'll stop it. But here you go.

This is from the rhyme and auditorium. That's me. And everybody's walking out now. Now you're getting here, Gavin McGraw. I'll just take the microphone and just crush it coming up. Here's Luke Bryan right here. Maggie Rose. A really special moment where every artist was up on the stage.

Sharna was on the stage. Some of the kids that are patients to St. Jude were on the stage. It was really cool. It was a great moment. We have the whole video we'll put up at bobbybones.com if you want to see it. So, yeah, it's great. I appreciate everybody who came and who works with us with St. Jude. It was just a fantastic night.

We touched on a little bit yesterday, but I finally had that audio and wanted to play that for you. So, yeah, there you go. Yeah, it was good. Luke, we're playing in. Luke come out and he said he was going to do, most people are good, and then he was going to do, that's what makes you country, we're playing that. And he goes, Bobby, let's play it off the mic.

Let's play another song. I was like, okay, what are you going to play? And he goes, let's do a cover. And I said, all right, I said, we'll just follow you. My band's really good. And he starts doing Sweet Caroline. He knows wife, obviously, that's her name. Yeah.

But he starts playing Sweet Caroline and the whole crowd is just screaming their face off the song. So it was good. I don't know anything else to say. You didn't come. Why don't you come? I had kids issues, I guess you would say. Yeah, what happened?

They get something bad? I mean, a little bit. There's just some stuff, some nights we struggle, and it was one of those nights, and I just didn't feel comfortable leaving. Because I came and sang on stage, and everything would have been better. I know. Because stand by me makes everything better, Amy. Yeah, no.

I just didn't know. Yeah. Okay, we're going to come back in a second. What do you want to do next? We have a couple things we can do. We just talked about your kids. I don't know if you want to talk about when you had to threaten them. with taking something away and then you had to do it.

Do you want to talk about that? Yeah. I mean, that's kind of part of some of the... It is? No, I think this was the morning after. Kind of like, we're still lingering with some stuff. But yeah, yeah, we can talk about it. I just went on the Elvis Duran show for like 10 minutes.

How was that? During a commercial, I ran over there real quick and then, well, it was good. They're so nice. I know. I mean, they're like our best friends. And then I did Dancing with the Stars Live last night. My final... I'm in New York doing the show right now.

And so Danielle from Elvis Duran came to the show last night. Oh, she did? So fun. Yeah. So I was like, don't leave. I don't know the rules of those shows. I know when I do shows, I just jump into the crowd and go meet everybody or go after the show, meet everybody. So during the dance with the star show, after the show, I just jumped in the crowd.

I went and talked to Danielle and security jumped all over me. They were like, you do not jump in the crowd if you're one of the stars, actors. I was like, I'm a dude. Like, I'm just a, you see me dance. No, you won the mirror ball. Yeah, but still Anyway, I jumped down Talked her for a bit

I ran over and did their show They're super nice And yeah, it was good I'm done dancing I left my dance shoes On the stage last night As a token So I took them off

And left them right in the middle of the stage So who took them I don't know Well, no So what I wanted to do Was them to be left there forever On the stage at Radio City Music Call Sure

Because I took them off and left them there And then like I don't know a minute later Someone picked them up and took them back They're like Do you know who's playing this stage? Yeah they were like Someone left their shoes here

It was like not even a deal To them Nobody cared So yeah I did that But I'm done I don't know If they asked me to come back For trio week next year

I'd dance if I would come back You would I don't know I'm because I'd be in someone else's dance And I could run theirs If it was just me I'm okay with that Running my own

Not that I want to But if I messed up But if they asked me back for trio week You think I would? I really do Yeah Then I have to get those shoes I left on the stage

What don't know they are What happened with your kids. Oh, so I mean, sometimes my daughter has this major attitude. Sometimes she's so bubbly and full of life and fun and then sometimes she's just chill and sometimes she's straight, defiant.

And I had to threaten going swimming, which you know, they have an indoor pool like either at the YMCA or our community pool is indoors, so sometimes after school they get to go. It's like their PE, their activity. And she was so pumped. And I looked at

her and I looked at her straight in the eyes and I said, if you don't decide to change this attitude, swimming's gone. Like I was very, I had, I even had a little meeting with her before it. But then I had to straight threaten her. And I said, look me in the eyes. If this stays up, pool is done. And then it stayed up. It stayed up bad.

So then I had to take away the pool, which was so horrible because we were all looking forward to it. And then Stevenson's little face was like, I didn't do anything wrong. Wait, he didn't get to go either? Like his dad didn't take him? No, we couldn't. the schedule wasn't going to work out. I know, it was a total bummer. This is one of those cases.

The whole point of the story is sometimes as a parent, you make a threat that you really don't want to keep. Like, I did not want to keep that threat. So much of me want to just be like, okay, just ignore it. Just take them to the pool anyway. You'll figure it out later. But then I lose all credibility as a parent if I don't follow through. So it's just one of those moments where as a parent, you just kick yourself forever saying it

to begin with. Like, I should have never threatened the pool. I should have threatened Netflix. or something or her tablet. I don't know, but I did the pool. And then you know what? You know what she said to me? What?

I didn't like, I don't like swimming anyways. Oh. And I was like, okay, now that's a lie because you were so pumped to go. But it took us probably a long time to get over it. And then we went on a little daughter mom date and got some hot cocoa and played Candyland and made up. And she understood that she made a poor choice. And she admitted that she does like swimming.

Oh, well, good for her. But how come he got punished? I'm still hung up on that. He didn't get to go. We have to figure that part out later. He'll get, it's just kind of sometimes when your sibling, this is proof that two, they know they can help encourage each other because they can nudge each other and be like, hey, get it together. You're going to do it for both of us. Oh, I got an idea. What?

Go ahead. You should have gone to the pool with both of them and she sits on the side while he swims. That would hit her right in the, ooh, like she'd be sitting there smelling the chlorine going, oh, I won that pool. Oh, I won that pool. But nope, can't get in the pool. that would have showed her. Oh, yeah. I'm not a whole other level of wrong, I feel like.

How does your husband deal with that when you have to do? Oh, he's like, he does not put up with it either. He's way more, they're way more intimidated by him than me, which I feel like I'm a firm parent. Like, I tried to gain their respect, but I don't know if it's the whole alpha male, like, could be even the man thing because even in Haiti, the director of the orphanage, he was a man, and he's the only one that could spank. Like nannies could care for them, but they couldn't spank.

the man did and you know just there's something about the presence of a man there's something about my husband they respect like my husband says get in your bed and they get in the bed I have to say it like five times it's annoying uh okay but he says few words when he does say words he says get in your bed and it's almost like stevenson's like yes sir whatever you say sir i'm in my bed and then i say it and he's like mom you really want me to get my bed and i'm like yes get in your bed really But are you guys are good now or no? Yeah, no, we're good now. Some of the stuff with them sometimes is just really emotional highs and lows that we go through.

Like back from the orphanage? Yeah. As much as I like to think that they're totally acclimated and life is good and we seem on a good track and we go, you know, a long time without some setback. Sometimes bigger picture, there's really just some hard days. Just as much as people see, it's almost like the Instagram reel, like the highlight reel, they see the cute little dancing, bubbly. guy and he really is. But you have to remember he's eight and he's been through a lot and sometimes there's some real lows. One of my friends just texted me and said, his son used to say, I like timeout. I mean, yeah. I'm pretty funny. I can't do time out with my kids though. It's not, it's not recommended

because of their abandonment issues. I mean, they can do. Really? Yes. So do you spend extra time with them? Like, all right, you're in trouble. It's just me and you for 12 hours. It's just like timeout is something that so like seems like everything everybody does and it happened to me and my husband was a kid and like day two of us getting our kids, we put our son in time out in his room by himself and it was like we caused World War three. Like it was awful.

And then it kind of set in and we went back to some of our adopted training and we realized like, oh shoot, like you can't put a child that has abandonment issues alone in their room and shut the door because they literally might be thinking, are they ever coming back for? me. They might think we're never going to come back. So if you want to do, if you have children like ours, timeout kind of is you can put them in a chair in the same room as you and they can't move that chair, but you definitely cannot leave the room. Or they feel like they don't know if you're coming back. Yeah. That's crazy. I know. And I have abandonment issues, but not to that level. Yeah. There's is just a little bit. I mean, I don't know. Everybody handles things differently

and processes it all differently, but their brains are still, because even, because also they. You think You have to think about all the time. That's all the time. That has to be in your head. Oh, I'm constantly thinking. My husband and I have to rethink everything because it's just some of it's like, okay, well, this is how it was done for us. But my husband and I grew up with loving parents our whole life.

Like, they grew up in an institutionalized situation where emotionally and cognitively, they're far behind. Like, they might be 8 and 11, but they're not. Like, my husband's, I mean, my kids sometimes act like toddlers because they're not mature in certain ways that if they grew up in a stable environment, they would be. So interesting. Yeah, I mean, it's a, yeah, I need to probably buy some more books. I think we all do, though.

Our video producer, Eduardo, finally watch Bird Box. Am I late to the game or what? Yeah, welcome. Yeah, but you think about it because the cool thing now is say you don't like it. Right. I'm not going to say that. I mean, it was, I enjoyed it. And you know what I really

liked about it is that it wasn't a long series. It's one movie. That was big to me because I don't have a lot of time to binge. So I like that. And the show is good. It's a good show. I'm with Amy, though. I do need a little bit of closure that was not explained to me. And I think that's the only thing it lacks. Guys, life doesn't give you closure. But I heard this is the most annoying thing about you guys saying you want closure in movies or TV series. Is that in life you don't always get closure? How come you want your books and your TV shows to not be rubbery? of life. I agree with you, but this, whatever I'm looking for, no one knows what it is, and I just want to know. Just show me, and then we'll be done. Yeah, and I heard that there's

a bird box, too. Yeah, it's what I'm about to say. They also are leaving it open to another bird box movie. Eddie, it's two hours long. It's a Netflix movie called Birdbox. What do you rate it? I give it a solid B. How many birds? I'll give it three and a half birds. Yeah, that's about what I would give it to. And that's fantastic

for something from Netflix. Yeah. Because any movies they make, It's Sandra Bullock's in it. Yeah, and so it's like the Sarah from all those other shows. And John Malkovich. Yeah. Yeah, there are actually a lot of people in it.

Yeah. Like a lot of B-star people with Sandra Bullock. And then there's a boy and a girl. That's their names, yeah. How about this? There's a company that will turn your ashes into records. Their slogan is,

live from the beyond to the groove. Oh, that's cool. According to a new survey, one out of four people say they would love for their asses. to get pressed into a vinyl record when they die. What song would you want on your record, Amy? One song. It has your ashes in it.

It plays one song. Okay. George Stray Amarillo by morning. Can you imagine listening to a record of Amy's favorite song, basically? And her ashes are on it. Yeah, emotional that would be. Lunchbox, what would you put? Oh, I'm too sexy by that right-said Fred.

That would be your death song? That would be my death song. What about you? Ooh. Go ahead. R.M. Everybody hurts. No, I don't want that one. Gosh, how sad would that be?

That is one of my most listened to songs. Oh, John Mayer stopped his train. Yeah, John Mayer stopped this train. Oh, that was going to be your buy as a one land. No, you guys know. I'm a huge John Mayer fan. I do not like when people... He doesn't like the cool song.

That's his best song, though. No, don't say that. Whatever. It's just too mainstream. Don't say that's John Mayer's best song. I mean, it's pretty fantastic. It's not his best song. Bubble gum tongue.

Oh my goodness. It's so insulting right now. Folks, it's your buddy and my... Mr. Bobby Bones. This is the Bobby Boll. Jesse in Pennsylvania. Yes. You're on the show.

What's up? I wanted to know if Amy's got to change her winning song. I remember you said she could change it after the first of the year. So it's back to There She Goes right now. She doesn't get to pick a new one? Well, we'll go through the process again. Let's go through the process again. again.

Where we all pick for her and then we draw randomly. What would you want it to be if you'd just pick one? I think it to be Beyonce's feel and myself. Do I know that one? Probably not. Oh.

You're not that cool. Shoot. I'm really not that Beyonce cool. Dang it. What would you pick right now, Amy? I guess I haven't thought about it a little bit, but I liked Eddie's choice. She still likes it.

Mooby! No, that's not going to be a song. But they don't say the word. But still, that's what it is. Oh. Of all the people, Amy, Maybe the last one I would think we'd go proclamation. I hear the clean version.

I don't hear, I just like the, yeah, get out the way. I just won. Move. What do you think about that, Jesse? I'll take it as long as she's happy. I don't say that. Whatever makes Amy happy. There's a story about these guys.

They made a bet where one of them said he could spend 30 days in darkness. Like, no clock, no dark. Have you seen this? No light. Oh, no way. He made a bet that they could turn off all the lights, and they got this extreme conditions. It was a high-stakes 30-day experiment to prove it.

So they were talking, they're poker players, and he says, okay, small, dark room, no human interaction, 30 days. And the guy agreed to do it for $100,000. He's going to go crazy. Could you do it for $100,000? Probably, yeah. For $100,000 I could probably do it. You just sleep all day.

So he was about 20 days in, and the guy who put the money up was like, oh, he's not going to quit. And so he said, I'll settle it with you. And he paid him like $60,000. Okay. I take, move. Yeah, $60,000. That's about the right percentage right there, right?

20 days in, 10 days left. I don't know. How's he doing after 20 days? I don't know. It was a small bathroom. That's where he stayed. What the whole time? Yeah, at an undisclosed location in Las Vegas.

And they set it up November 21st. A bed, a refrigerator, but the lights removed, along with toiletries. And it could have a few. food, but you couldn't see anything ever. No light was going in, and he didn't know what time it was. The guy had food delivered all weird times, so he couldn't, like, map it out with his body. Wow!

Yeah, isn't that crazy? I would take that to it for $100,000. You would? Yeah. You would drive you crazy, though. Yeah. But if you got to try... I'd be crazy with $100,000. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So now restaurants are getting in on this whole bird box thing, and they're serving meals. One place in particular, you can go in for a

three-course meal, and you eat the entire thing blindfolded. Wow. Do you know what kind of food you're getting? What if you go on your vegetarian and you're like, this ate like pork? I mean, I have no idea. I don't know if it's like a predetermined three-course meal and you just get what you get. And it's like you're in bird box.

It doesn't matter. But yeah, you can go and have this whole bird box experience while you eat dinner. That's funny. What else? So experts say you should delete your ex's number after a breakup. Like immediately you just delete it, take it out of your phone. So Bobby, I didn't know your thoughts on that. because normally you stay friends with your exes.

I think deleting a number is a lot because then you can't really contact them with that. Because we don't remember phone numbers. Yeah, I mean. It would be like deleting their address from your memory. And again, I don't stay. I think that's a little misleading because my last girlfriend and I stopped following her on Instagram for a bit. I removed that. It wasn't because we were, you know, not liking each other or upset with each other.

Sometimes you just need that to be removed from. your immediate circle so you don't see it all the time. But man, the phone number thing is so much because, again, we don't remember numbers anymore. Right. I guess it maybe prevents if you do drink or something, you may not be tempted to. But be an adult. That's why I said. Just be an adult.

Don't get drunk and text your girl or your dude. Yeah. And if you are, you probably still want it anyway. Yeah. And that way you kind of cut off that communication. And yes, to your point, you do always end on good terms is more so what I meant. Like, it's never like a really angry breakup where it has to be like, I'm ripping you out in my life or something. Well, it's still tough, though. It's always still very tough.

I know. I know. I know it's hard. So Taco Bell is testing a vegetarian menu. Later this year, they're going to unveil a vegetarian menu for see if people are into it. But it'll be usual meat-filled options, but they're going to be substituted with veggie-friendly things. Morgan, number two is a vegetarian who loves Taco Bell. Right, Morgan, number two? Yeah, I'm so excited about this. Yeah. So I don't really know what everything that tastes like or what they're replacing the meat with, but if you're vegetarian, you'll have more. It's always broccoli or tofu. But yeah, this is good

because you'll have more than just like a bean burrito as an option. There you go. All right, everybody, thank you. Yeah, I'm Amy. That's my pile. Bobby Bones. And that's it for today.
