Morning in studio. Morning. Coming up. It's like Australia Day. Keith Urban and Morgan Evans. I'm white. It's the whole shit. We're doing two interviews.

So Keith Urban in a couple of segments and Morgan Evans coming up in just a little bit. So glad you're here. Amy, what happened before I tell my story? What's the group text issue that you had? So group text was sent out to a bunch of people and the person that sent it specifically said, hey, I'm asking for this info, but reply to me separately. So, you know, obviously that's what I did. but then other people, and there was a lot on here, started replying to the text, the info that she needed.

And it just, you know, it's just kind of one of those things where it's like, ugh, do people not read? And then it got me thinking like, should we even send out group messages like that? If you need individual responses, just hit up each person individually, but I see how that's annoying. So I don't know, just whole group text annoyance happening in my life. People do that on work emails too, where it's a whole send out, then people keep replying all to it back to the person who sent it? So that happens sometimes. But I'll tell you what happened to me in a group text. I get a group text from somebody who I know pretty well,

not super well, but pretty well. And it's me in a bunch of numbers I don't recognize, like 65 numbers. And it says, hey, this is what's happening in politics. And then it goes on and on about it. It goes, and if you don't believe in what I'm saying, you need to unfollow me right now. And so this was said to me, but then my phone just started to blow up from all these people

who I didn't know arguing about. about politics. And I also know this person pretty well, but I went, I unfollowed them. Because first of all, I don't want to be friends with anybody. It's going to send me a group text with 70 people I don't know on it. And then two, don't be sending me political stuff. And I didn't even agree with the political stuff, honestly. And so I was like, okay, well, if he says don't, don't be his phone friend, then I guess I won't be his phone friend. So I unfollowed him. But I had to go through and block every single number, like 70 of them from my phone. Oh my gosh. Do you think that this person got hacked?

Nope. I don't think that. I think they probably saw something on the news, reacted to it, copied and pasted it. But what stunk was, I think there were like 40 other people that felt like me and they just kept replying, who is this? Who were all these people on this? But I had like 300 text messages on my phone. Dang, that's crazy.

Man, you have to be feeling super extra passionate that day to send out a group text of politics to people. Well, then I got a text the other day from the person who I've taken out of my phone just asking me a question like, hey, what's happened? How's your marriage? how's married life? And I didn't know who it was

because I've eliminated them from my phone. And so I screenshot it and said, hey, who is this? And he's like, hey, it's so-and-so. I was like, oh, yeah, I blocked him. He sent me a 70-person group text. 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's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I are having a debate. He thinks food is okay to eat even if it's three days after the expiration date. I won't eat anything.

that has expired. Even if it's just the sell-by date. I'll throw it out. That's just gross to me. My husband, on the other hand, tells me that I'm being wasteful and gets mad when I throw away food. He says we shouldn't be throwing out any food as long as we are still three days after the expiration date. This goes for milk, yogurt, and anything else in the fridge. He thinks as long as it passes the smell test, I should eat it without question. What do you guys think? Is it okay to eat expired food if it's within three days? Or should I tell my husband,

He is being unreasonable. Signed to Sheila. We have learned through reading stories, talking to people that work in the food packaging industry, that the expiration date is just a guess. Yes. It's just a guess. So therefore you kind of do need to go by smell. And eyeball test.

Yes. And taste. If it's over two weeks. That's too late. Two weeks for me is probably, I'm going to go, they were guessing in the ballpark in two weeks is too much. Two weeks. You can't do two weeks on chicken. I smell it.

I don't smell it. I don't smell like a cooking. I go like one day on chicken. But anything over two weeks or so is not even an option. There are certain things that I'll look at for two weeks. Some vegetables. Oh, yeah. Well, vegetables don't have a...

Carrots. Tell me carrots don't have expiration dates on them. And if they're in a bag, if you buy them like with the green coming out of them, you don't know. You just have to look and see if they're... What? Yeah, firm. Because they get real soft when they're not. good anymore. Here's what I would say. I would say look at it, smell it, eat it if nothing's wrong

with it. Don't go by that expiration date. No need to go by the sell by date for sure, yeah. The sell by date, who even cares? They probably change those on there at the store. Sheila, we don't side with you. Don't waste food unless you don't have to. If there's green on it, listen, I'll eat bread a week after, but I'll look at it to see if there's green on it. If there's no green, I eat. Sometimes if there's... If there's green, I cut off the green. That's right. Me too. Me too. Yeah. That's fine, right? Yeah, I've done that on cheese too. If there's mold on the cheese, I just cut that part off.

Or on the strawberry. I'll cut that part off too. Oh, I don't do that. Oh, dang it. Yeah, I'm not cutting strawberries. I feel like they're all, it's all up in there. I always go too far. Sheila, we agree with your husband. Hang in there. Look at it. Smell it. If it ain't bad, keep eating it. Don't waste food. Everybody good? Yeah. All right, that's the mailbag. Morgan, what do they do if they want to reach you out? Mailbag at Bobbybones.com. We got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag.

Yeah. Keith Urban stopped by my house and is awesome. We hung out for over an hour. And so I want to play this for you and we talk for a long time. But I wanted to share this part of the interview with Keith Urban. We talked about what country music was like in Australia, how his dad got him into country music. He also breaks down his song, Somebody Like You.

So this is Keith Urban and myself. here, a little clip from the Bobbycast. I remember once you were kind enough to invite me over to your place. It was a Christmas and we were in Australia. You said, hey, you should come over. And I was talking to you about music in Australia, New Zealand, and country music in particular. And I was like, what is country music like here?

And you had kind of expressed to me that country music there is kind of AM, but it's hard to find country music on the radio in Australia. The struggle for Australian country artists is there really, isn't the big mainstream infrastructure that there is here in America. You know, here we have FM country stations everywhere. You've got satellite radio. You've got multiple video platforms. This is even preceding YouTube with CMT and GAC.

None of that existed in Australia. So there was a lot of country artists wanting to make more mainstream sounding country music, but there wasn't the platforms for it. And to some degree, that's still a struggle there. So how growing up there did you attach yourself to the thought of country music and that that's the kind of music you wanted to make or were you naturally just making it and it was the most organic place for you to fit musically here it well i mean Nashville was just the destination because why why why was it the destination it was written on the back of all the records

that my dad had dom Williams mostly and uh glan campbell charlie pride merrill haggard all of those records all set on the back of them recorded in Nashville tennessee so as a kid i'm like oh that's where you go to make records period i just thought that's where you go if you want to make a record What was the relationship like with your dad and you as you became 12, 14, 16 years old? My dad's alcoholic, was. He's not here anymore. But he was alcoholic his whole life, just never dealt with it, you know? So my brother and I, classic adult children of alcoholic raised,

and I got the same genetic disposition as my dad. And my brother didn't have that. Really? It doesn't have it, no. But then he has no hair and I have hair. It's a fair trade. Did you feel like as you tried to achieve musically, you were doing it for you, or you were doing it somewhat to create a bond to your dad,

maybe wasn't there because of other circumstances? Probably both, you know, both and, you know. I think in the song we have Wildheart, you know, there's a song about, it opens with Johnny Cash, you know, sort of man in black because when I was five, dad, mom and dad took us to see Johnny Cash. And I remember so much about that concert. But the thing I think that is subconsciously in me

was I was really taken by how my dad was staring at this guy on stage and probably thinking, how do I get my dad to look at me like that? Isn't that wild? Yeah. I don't know if I saw it. It's hard to know, right? Did I recognize in that person on stage with a guitar? Did I recognize something that I was going to do

or something that I wanted to do or something that I should do? I don't know. It doesn't really matter in the end. Will you write songs with melody first? Just straight melody. Will you write a melody? Absolutely. And that's what you have and then you create around the melody.

Yeah. Are you more prone to do that when writing if you're starting from scratch or an idea, a lyric? Like where do you like to start if you get to choose? If I get to choose, I like a groove, a beat, doesn't have to be fast, just any kind of beat that I can then play along with, whether it's bass guitar, guitar, piano, something, banjo, whatever. It doesn't matter. just something that you pick up and just respond to, and then a melody comes, a melody comes of some sort. And then I think the music has an emotion about it.

It's trying to say something. I'm like somebody like you. You know, that song started from flying out to L.A., meeting this guy, John Shanks, so I didn't know. I was so nervous to meet with some L.A. guy, you know, and I'm like, what do I know? I've showed up with my banjo and everything. And before I went to the session, I went to this Irish pub.

and I had a pint of Guinness, and it was like 10 in the morning. And it was really good, so I had another one. And it was really good. So I had like a third one. I'd get in my car, drive over to the studio where he is. And by then I walked in and I felt pretty, pretty, not bulletproof, but I felt very relaxed, very confident, you know. And he had this little drum machine and it was going,

that's all it was doing. And I pulled my banjo out of the case and go, I don't know idea why it just came out and we're like oh that feels good what do we do with that you know

so done don't know and sundown gotta find some words and that's it and then you just the rest comes hopefully

you're creating that vocal melody too without putting the words on yeah yeah so so that and then you'll go would you record that And you go back over and go, okay, you know what's down here. Yeah.

Well, a lot of times a gibberish is actually trying to say something. Like you listen to the tape, which we had a tape then. And it would be, there's a new wind I never know. You're like, oh, there's a never, something. Was that a new win? Something right there down. Never known sounds like. It's all in there.

I think Mick Jagger calls it making foul movements. It's great. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two. 30 Second Skinny. Shania Twain announced the final dates for her residency at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. The show will run June 3rd through 16th in August 26th through September 10th. Tickets go on sale this Friday.

Reba shared her favorite Christmas memory from childhood. My older brother, Pake, when we were kids at home, he'd always be the first one to jump out of bed and run down the hall. And he'd just run down the hall with his underwear on. and he'd say, if y'all don't hurry up and get in here, I'm open all the presents by myself. But he knew it was a standing rule. We all had to be in there for anybody could open a present. But I can still see Peake running down the hall. Luke Bryan talked about his favorite Christmas gift he received as a kid.

My first Honda 50 motorcycle that I got back in 1984. It was just an amazing gift to have under the tree. And I never will forget seeing that as I walked out. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

There's a grandpa in Virginia named Keith Mitchell, and he lives alone, and his granddaughter is six years old and says, Grandpa, you don't have any Christmas lights up. You have to put Christmas lights up. And this was a few years ago. So he says, all right, I'll go to Walmart, get a hundred, a light of a hundred, string of a hundred lights, and he puts them up.

Well, slowly every year he's been putting up more lights and more lights. And this year, he is up to $1.5 million. all thanks to his How many years? This guy started in 1608 or what? All thanks to his granddaughter who said, Grandpa, you got to have some Christmas spirit. And now his house, like,

it brings in two to 300 people a day driving by to watch these lights. A couple of thoughts. One, he didn't go 100 each year, obviously. I think it started, the first day was 100. And it kept, yes. Secondly, the electric bill on something like that is what I think about. Yeah, sure, sure. And some places

that aren't businesses do have like a tip jar where you can give a few bucks for the electric bill. Like if you enjoy this lighting display on foot, please give a few bucks to the electric bill. He's not asking for tips, but this year he is saying, can you please donate to the Children's Hospital

of the King's daughter? Because that's where his granddaughter spent three weeks as an infant. So he's asking that, at least. That's nice. That's what it's all about. Right there. Merry Christmas. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Wow. Wow, wow. Okay, well, then I'll shut up because I haven't heard this yet. Here's Amy talking with Morgan Evans, a guy that, you know, we love when he's on the show. Enjoy. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Morgan Evans. Hey Morgan. Hey, Amy, it's good to say it. Well, first of all, before we get into some questions, I just want to say thank you again on behalf of the whole show for doing the St. Jude Radiothon. Last week, that was amazing. Of course.

My pleasure. Just to set you up a little bit, y'all may know Morgan from Kiss Somebody. Sometimes you got to kiss somebody. In the back of the cab or on a subway train. Sometimes you got to kiss somebody. And a lot of other things as well. So Morgan, you just wrapped, or you were on the Good Day tour with Brett Eldridge,

who is also known this time of year as Mr. Christmas. So what is it like being on tour with Brett? There's so many reasons why it was so good, you know, not doing a show for almost two years and then getting to do shows again. Brett's also one of those guys. You know, in country music, you kind of run into each other a lot, but maybe never get to hang out or get deep with anyone. And it was really good to spend, you know, a few months on the road with him

and get to know him better and play a bunch of. of pickleball together and drink some tequila together. It was really good professionally and personally. Well, so who's better at pickleball? You were Brett? I reckon I probably got him at the moment. Does anything happen on the last day of tour with Brett that's special? His crew kind of did a little prank on us.

They were holding up these kind of funny signs that really sort of just made us all crack up laughing. But his end of tour gift for us was a pickleball set, like one of those ones you could set up the net anywhere. And during his show, there's a story. section where he goes down the front of the stage, right down the front of the thrust, and he starts singing my girl. And my whole crew just jumped up there and started to play pickleball during his set. And to his credit, he didn't even bat an eye or anything. He just turned around. He kept

saying, didn't miss a note, walked back, stole the paddle, and just started playing with it. So it was cool. It was a prank, but it was very lighthearted. I love that. And speaking of gifts, where are you with Christmas shopping? Are you done? I'm not a good gift giver. Are you done? How are you going. I mean, I'm more than halfway. Yeah, I'm 75% done, but Morgan, haven't you been watching the news? You're supposed to shop early. Shipping's crazy. Finding gifts are crazy. Like, do you at least have Kelsey's gift bought? Well, we don't usually do gifts per se. We usually do stuff like experiences. And we are going to go home to Australia over the holidays. And so that's our gifts to each other and do some fun stuff down there as well as obviously see family and friends that we haven't seen for a couple of years.

So I feel like that's a great gift. I feel pretty pretty. good about that one, but there's actually, there's going to be five babies in my family when we get home. And so I've got to buy all these gifts for all these kids. That's, that's kind of my main, my main job ahead, you know? Well, let's play some of Christmas in the Sun real quick. What month did you write that in? It was definitely not during Christmas time. It may have been August or something like that this year. It was one of those things like, hey, should we put a Christmas song out this year? Absolutely. And I think I was missing home at the time.

And that's what we wrote the song about. Did you have to decorate the studio with Christmas vibes to get in the mood? Yeah. I wrote it with a mate of mine named Jimmy Robbins. And when we got into the studio that day, he had a Christmas tree set up on the coffee table in the middle of his studio. And I think I wore like a Christmasy shirt or something like that too. We did. We made some effort to get in the spirit.

What about Christmas movies? Like, do you have a favorite? Love, Ashley. It might be one of my favorite movies. I know that's a pretty common answer, but one of my favorite songs is all I want for Christmas is you, and I feel like that movie does the movie and the song. So, yeah.

Well, I'm going to talk about your current song on the radio right now. Love is Real. And what was special about this song to make it your next single? I love the way it makes me feel. Just when we were making this new record, I remember as we were writing it, it reminded me of the same feeling of when we're making. making the first record and we wrote Kiss Somebody and me and the guys I wrote it with were like,

oh, this feels like the start of something. Let's make the record from here. And I've written a lot of songs up to that point, but it wasn't until Love is Real came along that it felt like the beginning of the project. And then we wrote all the other songs after that. And so to me, it just feels right to share this one first and share this feeling first. Well, I need like an elevator pitch. Like, what would you say to someone if you were on an elevator with them and you wanted to leave that and go listen to it right away, but you only have, like, you know, a short amount of time. You know that feeling, like one of those feelings where every single thing in the world is right and you just don't want anything to change. Yeah, this song sounds like that for three minutes.

We're going to play it in a second, but I want to bring up that you recently celebrated four years of marriage. So what is something that you've learned about sharing your life with someone in that way, marriage, the last four years? Like, do you have any advice? for us now that you were four years in? Probably be a good listener and to breathe a little bit more. Breathe. I just think it's just to keep doing sweet things and try to surprise each other. I think that is kind of the everyday trick to keeping it feeling good.

At least I've found that, especially during the pandemic when everything is just like kind of feels like boring and the same every day. Just a little something to add some spice. Yeah, just make the most of every day. Okay, lunchbox, what'd you do? So I went around to local businesses and I would find an employee and I would just say, hey, I'm Chris Kringle from Chris Kringle's Carols and someone has hired me to sing you a Christmas Carol.

And then I would sing them a Christmas song and let them know that they are loved and cared about from someone. You would think if someone hired a person to sing, it'd be someone that could sing. Like, that's gonna be weird when you start singing to them and they're like, this guy's terrible. Yeah, I'm awful. I can't stay on rhythm, can't stay on beat. Don't know how to do it. But I try to put them in the Christmas spirit because it's my business and I'm there to sing. Okay, here we go.

Here is lunchbox going to a gas station and there's someone who works at the gas station who has received this Christmas Carol Graham. Go ahead. How you doing? Someone said that they really, they said they love your personality and they want to make sure you're in the mood for Christmas. So I'm here to sing you a song. Rudolph the red nose. Rain deer, reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw it, solid, you would even say, it glows like a light.

Yeah. And all the other reindeer loved him. And you are loved to. Thank you. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you. Yeah. There you go.

People sent that to you. They bought it. They said, go sing to her. I said, all right. I said thank. Put a smile on kicking's face. All right, here is clip number two at a drugstore. How you doing?

I'm Chris King Kringle from Chris Kringles Carols, and someone has hired me to sing a Christmas song to you. Are you ready? No. No? No. Yeah, I'm ready. I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,

just like the one I used to. know with you. All right. Well, I hope you enjoyed your Christmas Carol that someone sent me to sing to you. Okay. All right. Merry Christmas. I hope it was free. What do you mean? Thank you. All right. Have a great day. What do you think she meant by? I hope it was free. I could tell that she thought it's really bad. I mean, her facial expression let me know that She did not think my singing was up to par with a singing Christmas Graham. All right, one more.

This is lunchbox going to a copy shop. How's going? I'm Chris Kringle from Christopher Kringle's carolars. And someone has sent me to sing you a little song for Christmas. Oh. Yeah. I love this. Are you ready?

I'm ready. All right. Here we go. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. I love it. Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell. Jingle Bell Rock. Jingle, Jingle, Jingle Bell Rock with...

There you go. That's Christopher Cringles. And they will tell you on Christmas who they sent this message. I'm not allowed to tell you. Oh, I see. So Merry Christmas. Well, thank you so much.

You're welcome. Happy holidays. A couple questions. One, how did you get a guitar? There's one in the room. A couple of doors down. There was just some guitar sitting on a stand. So I grabbed one.

Two, they're told. on Christmas Day? How would people find them? No, I'm not really going to find him. I'm just, he's going to, on Christmas Day, he's going to be like, man, who got that for me? Who got that for me? So all Christmas, he's going to be thinking, man, who got this for me? He's never going to find out. Okay.

I bet he didn't think about it again. Did you hear the standing ovation? I mean, that was incredible. The whole coffee shop cheered for me. That was incredible. I'll agree. Amy, was that incredible? I mean, it was amazing.

Epic. That was amazing. Yes. Okay, lunchbox. Thank you. You're welcome. Happy holidays from the Bobby Bones show. Let them do.

Here's a voicemail we got last night. Hey, this message is for lunchbox. We were watching Once Upon a Time, which is on Disney Plus, and I happen to think that the print looks like Lunchbox. I just wanted to encourage him to say, he still has a shot at Hollywood. Go watch Once Upon a Time on Disney Plus and see if I'm right. Mike D, could you pull up the prints?

Oh. I mean... Doesn't look like him? She's blind. He has brown hair. It's a white guy. Paw. Show Eddie.

He's still looking. He's still trying to figure out how to spell a pawn. Oh, my gosh. You see him? Here, show. Look, Mike D. has it up. You want to see it. That over there.

That guy does not look like lunchbox. Oh, no chance. I have no idea if he looks like me, I guess. What, is he handsome? I'm not gonna. Is he clean cut or something? But you can safely say that he does not look like lunchbox? Yes, he's a handsome guy, but I don't think him being handsome or not has anything to do with lunchman.

I meant more like, not handsome, like good look. I meant like clean cut, buttoned up because lunchbox is hairy and messy. It's a little stinky. But thank you. Pretty good looking guy. His name is David Nolan? Look at that guy. You still have your Hollywood dreams?

Still got him. And did you win your award? Did they have the award ceremony? The award ceremonies are this week. They are. If you won the Tala Emmy? A Tela Emmy. Oh, I can hate.

Can we support you somehow? No, you can't vote. You probably donate to the teacher. You could really have some corruption there. 20 bucks, you probably wins an award. Oh, would you be willing to do that for me? The Bible Show. Here's Amy's Pile of Stories.

So yesterday in the pile I shared with you, Taste of Country's top five country Christmas songs, and y'all didn't like any of them. That's not true. That's not true. Willie Nelson's Pretty Paper is a good one. I just said it's not indicative of anyone under 200 years old. Yeah, we said like maybe an old person.

Something like that. Like Martha Washington love that list. Yes, yes. I hope she heard it. Well, I have some modern ones that I'm going to go over with you, and this is from country living. Oh, it's more of my style. A lot younger over there. Is it though? I don't know. These are all from the last five years.

They probably heard me do the segment. Okay, all right, go ahead. And at number five, Christmas in the Country by Thomas Red. Miles from a city and the crazy crowds where the bright trees grow and the world slows down. I don't like, for the most part, new Christmas songs. Oh, I do. I like new takes on traditionals. The only person I want to hear to do a new Christmas song, I have two.

Brett, Eldridge, and Casey Musgraves. Yeah. Otherwise, zip it. Just sing classic ones in a new fun way. Oh, well, I got something you're definitely going to love. The next one is Casey Musgrave singing a classic. Okay, let's go. I want to hit a popatimus for Christmas.

I've heard this. That's great. I want to hit popatimus for Christmas. Great, love it. And when Brett and Casey do old songs, even better. This is a good one, yeah. Next, Carrie Underwood and John Legend, Hallelujah. That's good. I like Hallelujah, though, by Jeff Buckley.

Not a Christmas song. Right, which is not a Christmas song. But when I said, Hallelujah, They were covering the very famous Jeff Buckley's song, which is a cover as well, too. Do you know the real one? Yeah. Hallelujah.

The guy with dreads from American Idol sing it. Do you never, okay. What, Amy? What are you talking? Yeah, the Jason Castro. Is that? The Jason Castro back in the day. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. I now see how Eddie struggles to harmon or sing with me when I sing so bad. You're struggling with me? Yeah, I'm trying to miss hitting right on there with you. Oh, I think we nailed it. Okay, go ahead. In it, too, Brett Eldridge, also known as Mr. Christmas, glow. Sweet as the angels, as they sing, you look good in the light of my Christmas trees.

Did he write this, or is this an old song? Yeah, I think him and, I don't know, Ross Copperman. Yeah, it's a jam. Now I'm confused if it's a traditional one or not. Okay, what else? And in number one, Dan and Shay, take me home for Christmas. You know what? I retract my statement.

It's so good. I like Dan and Shea's new stuff too. Put them on the list. Yeah, let them make new ones too. Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah, yeah. Okay, you know what?

Country living? Heck of a job making a list that us kids like. All right, what else you got? Okay, have you ever gotten into a car argument? Yeah, of course. Yeah, with Caitlin. Is that who you get into that? I've argued with people in the car before.

Yeah, well, so I have the top things that we argue about in a car. One of them. Eddie, why are you late? We're trying to fly home after this raging idiot show. We've had that one for sure. We have to go to the airport. That's been there before. Okay, that doesn't make the list of sure people being late is annoying.

But it's whose directions to follow. Like, one person may know the best way to go. Bad driving habits like speeding or tailgating when you drive too close. That one, I hate that one. Messing with the heat or the AC. That's my kids. They fight over that. getting lost and backseat driving.

Okay, here are R2. Each of us have one. Me, I won't be on my phone unless I'm at a red light, and then I'll be on my phone, because I got to catch up on Twitter real quick. You never know what's going to happen. So I refresh it, and she'll be like, the light's green, let's go.

So I'll miss the light turning green sometimes. But for her, she's a little more aggressive of the driver than I am. And I'm always like, no, no, no, no. She's like, relax. I'm not going to hit anybody. She's probably normal. You just drive very grandma. Very grandma-ish.

Like, very. Like extremely. Hey, Merry Christmas to you guys too, okay? Here we are having a fun segment. All right, go ahead. I'm a gasper. That annoys people when I'm driving. You suck air?

I go, and it freaks everybody out unnecessarily. But we do that while you're driving, too. I have to watch you drive. You are not the best driver. Okay. Merry Christmas. That's relative. Okay, go ahead.

opinion. So we're going to start feeling tired today at 104 p.m. Just a heads up. So quickly, some things. things that will give you a boost. Chit-chatting with a co-worker. Pass. We see what happens there.

We're already doing that. Get up and walk around just for a few minutes. Get a change of scenery somehow. Leave your desk to get a little snack or maybe some coffee. Don't drink too much, though. And then, you know, stick to your routine. Like, maybe create a routine throughout the week so that you have that. So you know at 1.04 p.m., that's when you're going to be the most tired.

I did see a story, too, about people to take naps, almost daily live longer. Oh. One, you have to find the time to fit in a nap. Lunchbox is going to live. You have people that take naps live longer. Yeah, okay. Well, I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of story. Happy holidays from Bobby and the Bama Bob Bobby Bone Show. It's time for the good news. With Lunchbox. Tell me something good. Andrew McClendon was the CEO of a company. He retired and he was just sitting around. He's like, I need to do something with my time.

I want to start a nonprofit. And he's like, what do I do, though? And his friend had a kid with special needs that needed a bicycle. And he went out and bought one for $800. He's like, that's too expensive. So he started a family foundation where they get donations. And now they buy bikes for kids with special needs. And they just donated their 430th bike.

Wow. I thought you were going to say their 10th bike. That's a lot. No, but these bikes are like $800,000 that families can't afford. And so he raises the money, goes out and gets them. I think he meant $800 to $1,000. I was going to say $800,000 on a bike. That's basically like a Lamborghini.

Oh, I don't say $800,000? Yeah. That's a fancy bike, but yeah, it's $800 to $1,000. That's a gold. That's a 24-carat gold bike, yes. All right, nice job by the family. Dang. I'd like to have one of those $800,000.

Yeah, didn't they have any of those laying around? Nice story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

wealthy wealthy got it that was the morning corny but we had old saga on this show where abby our phone screener was talking back and forth through text with a firefighter. And I encourage you to go back to the podcast and hear this, but at first it was an accidental text. Oh, I accidentally texted you.

And then we're like, Abby, that seems suspicious. And then we got the person on FaceTime because we thought it might be a catfish. It wasn't. Now, Abby, when this saga kind of ended, did you feel betrayed? Did you feel lied to about this person? I mean, I still don't feel like I have the answer. but I was just like I don't think it's worth pursuing or anything.

So you're not talking to this firefighter at all? Well, he does text me on holidays. He does. Like Thanksgiving he did and then he did recently. Do you think that he knew you from the radio show somehow found your number online and just started texting you? I still don't know. Abby, you could say yes or no. If you had to pick, gun to your head.

No, I don't think he did. Okay. Lunchbox, how do you feel about this in your heart? Gun to your head. Ah, he went and got her phone number on the internet. No. Absolutely. Absolutely, he did.

He did his research and found it and texted her. Yeah, no, 100%. This guy wanted to make it seem like it was an accident, but he looked it up and found her number. Yep, 100%. Well, he has, according to a snitch on the show, has he sent you gifts? He did.

He sent me Christmas gifts. Yeah. He texted me and was like, be looking in the mail because I sent you some gifts. Weird. He sent them to the studio? Yeah, he did. He did ask me for my home address, and I said no. Oh, see, he tried.

He already knows your home address. Okay. Actually, he probably does it. Yeah, he already knows. He already knows. It's a good point. Let's act like he doesn't. Okay.

What did he send you in the mail? Oh, you want to see? Oh, it's kind of funny. Oh, is it a teddy? What? A teddy. A teddy bear? No, lingerie.

Who even calls it a teddy? What is that? The first one is a calendar. It's a firefighter calendar. Oh, that's funny. For 20, 22. Is it the one he's in? No, he's not in this one.

So he sent you a bunch of other dudes on a calendar? Chippendales. Yeah, it is kind of like chippendills. Yeah, he's not on this. No. Okay, go ahead. What else? And then a mug that says, I put out fires.

And there's a fire extinguisher on it. Okay. What else? And then there's just like a little firefighter ornament. But he gave me two guitar lessons because he knows that I sing, but I don't like really sing because I can't play guitar. and so he was like, I want you to follow your dreams. Isn't that nice?

Abby's falling in love again. Oh, no. Is it nice or creepy? Creepy. She won't even respond to a text. Well, I said thank you to him. I didn't think she had been responding. I did this.

She just deletes her responses so you think she's not responding. No. I mean, that was nice. It was a nice thought. Abby, you need to go one way or the other. Either embrace this and go, let's get together and go out. Maybe we get married or just ignore it completely. But this whole middle of the road thing,

I don't think it's the healthiest. I agree. After what? This could be a great movie. If you guys get together and get married, this is wonderful. I don't think that's going to work. He's too far away. He's not even in Nashville.

I don't think there's a future. And he's a creep. He looked your phone number up on the internet. Like, are you, I mean, not the distance thing, Abby. Like, oh my goodness. Like, hello. I agree. I agree. That's tough.

But there is a percentage, guys, that it wasn't. Very slim. Okay. But still, what if he didn't? look it up and this was all by chance. See? I just don't believe it. I don't believe it. If he came to town

though and he said, hey, I happen to be in town. Would you meet him? Yes. Yeah, I would. See? I'll meet him just because. Bobby pay for the flight. Oh, no. Happy holidays. Happy holidays.

Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Happy holidays from the Bobby boat show. Okay. So if someone goes a restaurant and like doesn't really look at the menu and goes, ah, just take whatever the chef recommends. Do you feel like that's a baller move, Eddie lunchbox? Baller, absolutely baller move. Because you're trusting that the chef, somebody said, okay. The chef is the guy that created the restaurant. And so he knows what's best. So you tell them, hey, man, I trust the king of the castle to bring another king what is good.

I don't think the chef created the restaurant though most times. Maybe, depending. Maybe. But here's why I bring this up. Amy, tell him your story. Okay, so my friend has gone on a date with a guy three times. And all three times, when it came time for him to order, he's like, I'll just have whatever the show recommends. And she can't figure out if it's like, she should be attracted to that and it's baller or it's totally lame. Because she does like him, but the first time she's like, okay, the second time she's like, Interesting. Third time she's like, what the?

I really want to know what Bones thinks about this. Are we sure he can read? I mean, that's what I think? Oh, wow, that's funny. Like, what if he just can't read the menu? Like, I'll just say whatever the chef recommends. The weird thing is the chef may recommend something with onions. I don't like onions.

Or mayonnaise. I hate mayonnaise. So I think he thinks it's cool. So he keeps doing it. So yes, I would put it in kind of that, that, that, that, dude yeah it's kind of a douche move I do have to think that

I mean yeah I that's what I thought third time like one one time and then you see him actually read him and you and order something for himself but to constantly be like whatever the chef will bring out and she said that all three times I mean if you were the waiter you would pick

the most expensive thing and she's like it's crazy because and then some of it you don't eat she said she couldn't even tell what it was she's like I felt bad for him she's like I got the spaghetti and it was a Amazing. Did he eat it like he liked it though? He's like, man, this chef always recommends the best.

And he's like shoving it down his throat as he hates it. Yeah, I mean, I don't know all the details of their date, but she acted like he, this must be his thing and he likes to do it. And he enjoys it, but she just didn't know if he's trying to impress her and if this is lame. I guess she can just keep going out with him and see what continues to happen. I don't know. I mean, if he goes back at the end to and gives regards to the chef, that gets really, that's really weird. Yeah.

Didn't your dad used to do that? Go back and talk to the chef and give his regards to them. Oh, he wouldn't talk to anybody. No, he would just end up in the kitchen. Oh, he was. Yeah. No, he, I mean, of course, if he came across the chef, he would thank them, but not in like a snooty way whatsoever.

He was just more, he loved food, he loved restaurants, and he wanted to go see how the restaurant was doing it, and he would just go make himself at home. That's a boss. That's baller. Who does that? Lunchbox, this is the bit. I'll buy you a gift card or I'll pay for your dinner at some point. but after the dinner you got to go back into the kitchen and talk to the chef and just give your regards.

Okay. But, Boone, should he do this like an apple bees where there's not really a chef? Oh, for sure. No, no, no, no. He wants to talk to his chef. I want to do a nice restaurant. No, no, no, no. They probably get it there.

Yes, you have to go to like a Chili's and be like, I like to talk to my chef, please, and then just give him full regards. And then ask him about how he cook certain things. Yes, the whole thing. Hold on. So it should start with. it should start with when the waiter comes lunchbox says, I'll have with the chef recommends. Yes, yes.

And then... I'll pay for it, lunchbox. Yes. Okay. I'll do it. I love them we brainstorm a bit here on the air. Yeah, yeah. All right, thank you, Amy.

It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Big red vending machines have been set up at locations from Arizona all the way to New York to make it easier for people to give. back. For the fourth year, hashtag light the world giving machines are being put in well-traveled areas in cities countrywide. The vending machines offer users the ability to support charities by letting them purchase items like food, clean water, health care services, shelter, bedding,

skills training, educational supplies, all starting at $2. You can literally go up, swipe it, and donate two bucks, or put the money in the machine as well. And you'd push it like you'd, if you want a Fanta or a Mountain Dew, you push it and it goes to that. They have put, again, they've put these all across the country. They've raised over $9 million for local and global charities. Yeah. The LDS Church then covers all the costs of the machines. So 100% of the donations goes to the chosen charities.

Pretty cool, huh? That's really cool. They've got one in Denver, Kansas City, Vegas, Nashville, New York. I mean, in areas where there are a lot of people, they put these up, and they hope to expand. To me, it reminds me of an airport machine. you know how they have like headphones and who buys $500 headphones in an airport? Oh, I don't know. Which is the craziest thing.

It's like going through, would you like to buy a big screen TV? Then you push it and it falls down. Yeah. I've thought of that and I think maybe people are on their way to see someone and it's like a gift they were going to get them maybe. Or they've had their eye on it for a while and finally they're like, oh, well, this must mean I should get them. Just get them a hat. This is Phoenix, you know? Yeah, I don't know. An Apple TV from the airport.

It is weird. That's a great story. That's what it's all about. was tell me something good. You know what I tried last night was the call map. Never used it before. But I went to a sleep doctor. I can get to that later.

But he's like, hey, you try the call map. So I took the call map. And I don't put headphones in because I'm afraid if I fall asleep with headphones in. That won't be good. Or it'll be playing and my alarm won't go off. So I put it beside my bed and I turn the volume up on my phone. And Caitlin's down. She's like, I'll listen to it too.

And one of the options was Matthew McConaughey reading a story. Oh, cool. And I started it with Matthew McConnor. And he's like, hey, I'm about to tell you a story. So first of all, I want you to take a deep breath. It just felt like how to lose a guy in 10 days was right next to me in the bed. And I couldn't take it seriously. Yeah.

You weren't getting calm. No, I wasn't. All right, first thing we're going to do, we're going to take three breaths to your nose. All right. And I do it. And I just, I'm like, I can't, I can't. So we flipped it over and we listened to some British guy talk about the Nile River or something.

And I fell asleep, but not... Well, that sounds like a snoo's best. I mean, I think I was just tired. Yeah. But I did, I called, I had an appointment with a sleep doctor. Because every night, right on schedule, I wake up about four hours into my sleep. I'm not taking anything anymore.

I don't take... I take nothing to... No melatonin, nothing. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is. And so like clockwork, if I fall asleep at 8, I wake up at midnight. Fall asleep at 10, I wake up two. And then I wake up and I'm up.

So I'm talking to the sleep doctor, which took me four months to get into. Because I guess they're backed up like a lot of doctor's offices are. And so I had to do it virtually because I was not in the States. And he's like, okay, well, let's talk about this. I tell him a situation. And he says, okay, are you watching TV when you fall asleep? I am not. I haven't done that in three months.

I've cut it. I've really tried to cleanse myself of every factor outside of just my brain. so I can go, this is the root of the problem. I said, I am not. He says, do you take anything? I do not. Like, I'm good. I exercise.

I eat pretty good. Like, everything that I'm doing should lead to a good night. I have a great bed. It's like, everything is right. He said, okay, well, let's talk about, you know, your stresses, your stressors. We talk about that. And then he says, you know, you should hop on this calm app. Because I think until we get you in a room to do a sleep study, this would be good for you.

and so I spend 6999 for a year so now I'm invested I'm gonna have to listen to this thing working out just to get my money's worth now so I was just talking to him about some of the stuff that's happening in my life

I have a new therapist I'm going to today I'm really trying to figure out the sleep thing and so did the call map but I'd always heard from listeners that these sleep studies can be done in your own house now and I was like okay that'd be fine I don't know what I'd do

I'd lay down, put a mask on, wake up in the morning, mail the mask back, get my results. Oh, that's awesome. No, that's not what's happening with me. They want me to go to some Hilton by the airport and sleep. A hotel. Yeah. By the airport. I may have exaggerated that part, but that's what it felt like.

It's for sure a Hilton. He's like, you got to come to the Hilton, I think, by a college or something. And sleep. And I'm like, that's supposed to come to you and sleep in a random room? Weird. He's like, we set up a cot behind Waffle House. It's fine. And so I'm a little nervous about that part of.

I don't know what I do when I sleep. I mean, probably my hands go on my pants. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Well, ask Caitlin. What do I do when I sleep? I probably, there's probably gas. I don't know. I just don't want. I mean, we know that you talk like a girl. I talk in an effeminate way, absolutely. But are they going to have all this on camera? Or is this just? I would assume they video it for. Do they video it or do they like monitor your vitals? Research. What research are you going to do with that? With me a month. And then do I sleep in my underwear? No shirt. I just have a lot of questions about what's going to happen. Are we sure this was a doctor I was talking to on the other side of Zoom? But that's what I'm doing. I'm going through that process because of that I downloaded the call map. And I slept with Matthew McConaughey last night.

Well, I tried to. It was unsuccessful. But that's what's happening right now in my life. I'm curious to see how it goes. I mean, obviously it'll keep us posted. I don't know that I'm going to commit to go into the Hilton, though, in the next couple of weeks. It doesn't seem right. Christmas is coming up. But then it's just like,

I'd rather do it in my house. Yeah, and if you can't sleep well at home, how are you going to sleep well at Hilton? Exactly. Like, how's that going to work? Yeah, like, you would think they've gotten to a point where maybe they can bring, obviously, if they're monitoring you, they can bring someone to your house, you know? Not you mail it in, but they come there and physically observe you. Well, that's also weird, too.

They stand over the bed the whole time of the clipboard. That's what it seems like, all right, he just peed a little? Let's make a note of that. You don't pee a little, do you? I don't know what I do. find out. I just wake up four hours later and have no idea. What he did tell me to do, and this is something we've talked about on the show, and the note I made to show with our listeners, is that if you wake up in the middle of the night and you can't go to sleep in like the first 15 minutes,

the doctor told me to get out of my bed, go into a different spot, open a book, and read the book until I'm tired again. Because me sitting there fighting myself to get to sleep is not going to put me asleep, especially after about 15 minutes. Like, you kind of have that grace period. You go to the bathroom, you can fall back asleep. But after 15, 20 minutes, get up. And it's specifically a book. Like, it can't be watching

anything. I asked. I said, I love my phone. He said, don't get on your phone because the lights are stimulating your brain. Right. Just clarifying. For sure. Yeah. Okay. He said, don't binge something and don't get on your phone. So that's where we are right now. Well, I don't know when you and Caitlin

are for sure going to have kids, but I feel like, you'll have no trouble sleeping come then. Like, I got the kids to bed last night and I crawled into bed and I literally like shut my eyes and I didn't wake up. Hey, good for you. You bragging? A little, no, I mean, I'm like, hey, you have kids in your future. So, well, but then they cry and then, but are you going to get up or is Caitlin going to get up?

I don't know. I imagine I will be just as involved as she is. Okay. I imagine. Eddie, how did that go for you? No, man, not involved at all. I never got up. Never.

Exactly. Listen, I don't know. But I imagine I will be just as involved. Especially if you have the twins that you want to have. Wouldn't that be awesome? She's going to have one of the twins. How's that coming out? How's that coming out?

Comes out of my butt, her front? Okay. Why did it have to come out of your butt? I don't have another hole. You have other holes, your ear? It comes out of your ear. It doesn't come into my brain. Well, it's already a miracle anyway.

Yeah, exactly. Okay. Wait, you were going to say you talked to Caitlin. I have to do the news. Oh, but you talk to Caitlin about twins. No, no, I've always told her like that would be great. She's like, for you? Yeah.

Just like, but. Okay. To me, it's a one, no. I would especially wouldn't be like, well, guys. It's funny you asked. It would just be nice to have a one-stop shop. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two and done.

Call it. Chunk the deuce. That's it. Yeah. All right, news time. Let's go. Bobby's big. Stories.

There are now some answers in the case of the hundreds of packages found dumped near an Alabama River. My theory was the guy just didn't want to deliver home and wanted to go home early. That was my theory. Authorities say DeAndre Charleston has owned up to dumping the packages between November 17th and November 24th. Of them, 153 packages were able to be scanned and identified, but another 247 couldn't be. In total, 450 customers were affected. They call it a mass dump. I will not.

All worth just shy of $25,000. He said he did it because he had other issues going on in his life and he just didn't want to deliver them. That's simple. I mean. I just wanted to go home, be done with the day. He has been charged with five counts of cargo theft

and that source is News Nation now. This story would be good for me if it worked. Zapping the brains of people with OCD could soon help them before symptoms even start. Around 1 in 50 people suffer from obsessive, compulsive disorder. Scientists have insight into brain signals that kick in before people start their rituals. They could help by brain stimulation. And I like to, only people in the room can see this.

Listen, I have some mild OCD. There's no doubt about it. A lot of things that I do in my life. I have a schedule I keep of what we do on the show and I keep every segment, every bit. and when I'm done with it, I must block it out completely. It does not exist anymore. With a fat marker. With the biggest Sharpie you could possibly have.

The only Sharpie bigger would possibly be one at Cracker Barrel that used with two hands. Because you know they have supersized everything? Yeah, King Size. Kit Katz, Sharpies, checkerboards. But I won't say suffer because I think some of my OCD makes me better at what I do. But it does, at times, keep me from living a completely. completely balanced life. But I would love it.

Zapped me away. Two things I need to get. The zap? And I've got to get the booster. Yeah. I've been gone. I've got to get the booster. Anybody boistered?

Boostered. Yeah, did you get sick? No. Just took a little nap the next day. Had a headache? That was it. You did have a headache? Yeah.

Wife got it, nothing. Oh, wow. Okay. Kately got sick after the last, her last shots. I never did. Either did I. The second one?

Both either of them. Oh, first one, I was fine. And second one, I felt like I was sick for at least, you know, 18 hours or so. Well, I'll wait till next week and I'll get the old boostie. I want to be like that guy that got 10 of them. He got 10 shots. He got paid for it. Here's another story.

A motorist involved in two unrelated fatal traffic accidents in 2008 and 2014 was caught driving a car last year, even though he'd been banned from doing so. He, in an attempt to get himself off the hook, listen to this. he gave false information to a police officer where he claimed to be his younger brother because he was in trouble. The problem is the brother was wanted to buy cops as well. It was arrested.

They took him in as the brother. That's from something called Straits Times. And then a man was arrested five times in three days due to his resemblance of a wanted criminal. And so the story is mostly in that headline right there.

He looks like a criminal they were looking for so they kept turning him in and he got arrested five times in three days. Oh my goodness. What's funny to me is Mike D who works on the show as he travels with me as my travel producer but is also the head writer on the show. Mike, your name is that of a criminal as well and you're often stopped. Yeah, every single time because they have the exact same name as somebody they're looking for. So anytime they look at my passport, they're like, I think this could be the guy.

So he was stopped in a Canadian airport and they put him in like a room. For a long time. They wouldn't let him in when I was doing some stuff at ABC because he was going through the gates with me. They were like, we think you're a criminal. Wow, what a pain. I think if I were you, I'd get nervous every time. Every time. Happened again.

I can't think you get an asterisk added to your passport or something? Just get a tattoo across your chest. Not me. I don't know the asterisk passports anyway. Well, I don't know. Just something because, I mean, that is a huge pain to get flagged every time. What about this dude? He's just a Burger King and they're arresting him.

I know. Yeah. All right, that's the news. Thank you. Those were Bobby's Big. Stories.

Let's go to Megan in Florida, who is on the phone. Megan, good morning. Thanks for calling. Hi, how are you guys? We're doing pretty good. What can we do for you? Good. I was just listening to your segment about the sleep studies.

And I wanted to let you know that I was actually an office manager for sleep lab. And you don't have to worry about anything. It's not bad at all. They do do home sleep studies and you don't have to worry about anybody coming to your home or standing over you. But it's a very easy process. Mine is not a home study. And they said I would have to come to the Hilton. And I just feel like there could be pictures that exist after this flow.

on the internet. And you're asleep and you don't know what they're going to do. Yeah. To you. You know what I'm saying? Do they test out of pill? Do I wake up in my different parts of me store? I don't know what's going on.

You know, do they put a glove on? Yeah. All that. Stop. What? I have these concerns. I know. This could be real.

Megan, so I'm a little, I'm a little scared. Okay. Don't worry. That's completely normal. Everybody has those same kind of questions, and they do video it, but... I'm on a feed somewhere. I can't do this. I can't... She said, but. It's just monitoring, and they can't leak it out anywhere. The HIPAA violations are so big right now. They would get in so much trouble if that leaked out to the Internet. It's super safe, super protected. It's not going to get out to anyone or anywhere.

So. But I sleep in my underwear, okay? And what if I have to go to the bathroom and I get up and there, okay, there's video me in my underwear, walking to the bathroom? Somebody's going to see that. No, no, I'm not saying of me peeing. I'm saying when I get out of bed, I'm going to have to wrap myself in a sheet so people don't look at me. It's like you're in a swimsuit.

Well, when people come to our sleep lab, we ask them to wear like shorts, comfy shorts and maybe a t-shirt because they do put some equipment on you. I'm wearing a turtleneck and jeans. You guys are out of your mind. Okay, Megan, I know you're trying to settle me. I appreciate that. Thank you. It's not bad, though. I promise.

All right. Bye, bye, Megan. By the way, Eddie and I are playing Strawberry Festival in March, I believe. That's near Tampa. And so if you guys want to get tickets, go to Raging Idiots.com. We didn't announce it on ticket day because we were doing St. Jude. We were doing other more important stuff. But if you guys want to come to watch Eddie and I at Strawberry Festival, Ragingidiotteats.com.

Let's go to Monster in North Carolina. Monster, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Morning, Bobby. Good morning, studio. Morning. So, real, real, real quick. Congratulations, Eddie on the blended family and two lunchbox with the newborn.

I'm a father with baby number nine on the way this month. But real quick. Guys, the whole chef thing, Amy, tell your friend, it's totally okay. It's totally normal. the biggest compliments you can do. My dad was a head chef, a head chef for years. Just by simply saying, I'll have, you're basically telling the chef, I put all my trust in your menu, what you crafted, what you perfect. It's no different than getting reviews on some electronic device that you're purchasing. You're getting their reviews or recommendations from what he has crafted over the years.

So it's not a baller thing. The best thing you can do is sometimes even call it if the chef is a available if he can come out and thank him for the meal, I'm sorry, the meal, and hit him as well. So it's not a baller thing. It's a great compliment. Yeah, I appreciate that. But let's talk about these nine kids. Like we're burying the headline here. You're about to have your ninth?

Yes, yes, sir. I'm 45 years old. I got my ninth child on the way. I have, this will be the sixth girl, three boys, and I already have my oldest daughter, who's 23, already has three grandbabies for me. So my beautiful, and I just proposed on Friday to my beautiful woman that is giving me my ninth child. Yeah, they were pregnant three times together. They thought that was kind of hilarious.

But she's all I'm listening to you right now, but she's ready to pop. December 27. Wish me luck, Bobby. So I have a lot of questions here. Good luck. Because your sample size is so large, right? You have eight kids. You're about to have your ninth.

Is there anything that you have seen if you do? can, will allow a boy versus a girl. Um, so I've heard all these things and these gimmicks that you go to bed, angry, produces more testosterone, you have a son. If you go to bed and you're making love, you produce more girls. I, I don't find it. God's going to bless you with what God's going to bless you with. Um, and we're very blessed to have amazing kids.

And I work three jobs to take care of them. I don't let the taxpayer money give me. Not that it's a bad thing, but I, I don't, I don't close. like unemployment and disability and stuff. So, yeah, just work hard and pray for a happy, you know, healthy baby. Like Amy was very blessed to get her kids. I'm so happy for Eddie. I love that they're a blended family.

And I love that they don't use stepchild and stuff. So, yeah, there's nothing you can really do except you put it in God's hands and you just have as many kids as you want as long as you can take care of them. But there's a theory to it. I got nine kids now. And if they do half of what dad does, that's 36 grandbabies nine kids, I'll never live in an old folk home. Someone's taking me in.

Yeah, what's the motivation to having all these kids for you? Caregivers. So I come from a, I told me and my sister, but I have a lot of cousins. They were, I was the 14th grandchild born, and I was the first boy, and I was born on Father's Day, so all the uncles went crazy. And I said, if I could have, I never wanted kids, but when I had my first child, if I could have kids and I could take care of them, I wanted kids. And I could take care of them. I wanted to have a really big family because I missed the Sunday meals that we used to have back when I was up in Philadelphia. But I ended up staying in the Marine Corps forever.

So I just stayed down here and met this beautiful woman. But a big family can be really great, especially around holidays. It's just it's great to see them all get together. It's great when they open up gifts. It's fun when you have picnics in the summer. Yeah, yeah. Okay. So is the woman you're about to marry the mom of all?

all nine kids. Y'all just haven't gotten married yet? No, I think I'm talking to Amy. Amy, no. We met seven years ago. I said I never wanted to get married. I failed three marriages. I don't know if I really failed,

but I was so committed to the Marine Corps that the marriages didn't work. And long story short, I met her when I got out of the Marine Corps. Yeah. And I said, I never wanted to get married. We had kids together. And I finally, someone said, don't let your failures or mistakes in other marriages that didn't work out, affect your relationship now. And I propose Friday at a restaurant that we actually had our first dinner date six years ago. So this will be your fourth marriage?

Yeah. So I was married three times in the Marine Corps. I married my high school sweetheart right out of school. I was in the Marine Corps. She didn't want to be away from home. Long story short, She just wanted to move back home. It didn't work out. So I'm pretty civil with them. We have kids, but this is Crystal. That's the one with now. This is Crystal's fifth push, and we're extremely excited.

And we're hoping within the next nine months to 12 months will be married. And yeah. Having more? Are you trying to have a full decade, like a 10, a 10 spot? So, no, Bobby. Everyone jokes because I love wrestling and college wrestling team is 10, but we're absolutely done. We were not expecting the last three. I know what caused that, of course.

But, yeah, so, no, this is it. Nine is a baseball team. We're totally good. They don't make many vehicles to haul everybody around. Yeah, yeah. Wow. Well, thank you for serving as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So much. Oh, no problem. And Amy, tell your husband, I said thank you for his service, too. I am a huge fan of veterans and people that are serving because there's just not many people that still want to do it. Let me ask one final question here. Do you have kids with all of the wives? Yes. So I am a blended family of this will be our ninth.

My first wife, I only have one with her. She is amazing. She's in college. My oldest, when I met her, I was driving, I was a general driver. I met her mom when we were working together. I have no biological kids with her, but I've been with her since she's four. I still talk to her. She's one of those amazing kids where, hey, dad, you know, even though she's 23 and married,

like, I'm a little short on rent. Well, how much are you short? 900. Well, what's your rent? 900? You still help them out. So I've been, like Eddie, they are my kids. She's 23.

She's still mine. So my second wife, no, no biological, but I have. my beautiful 23-year-old since she was four. And then my third wife, she had a son named Kai. He's amazing. And I met him when he was three. And we got married. We had a son.

And, yeah, that didn't work out so well. No big deal. We both went our separate ways. I stayed in the Marine Corps. She went to. So it wasn't that they were really bad. It's just when you're gone, I did 38 countries, 37 states, and three combat tours. So when you're gone, that's hard on women to take care of the kids, the dogs, the, you know, the family, the bills.

And then, you know, they get lonely. And then sometimes there's just people that sneak in and they try to soothe them, you know, and it's all good. Wait, what? You can use your imagination. So he's hinting that women found someone else to cuddle up with while he was gone. Huh. Well, listen, this call was all about him saying, hey, asking the chef to come out. It's cool.

Yeah. Yeah. But it turned into quite the bio of a guy named Monster. We forgot, too, that his name was Monster when I picked up. Oh, I missed that part. This is just multi-layered. We just started peeling back the onions. Does anyone else feel like Monster sounds like Dr. Oz?

Could it be Dr. Oz acting like someone else? I don't hear it. I don't hear Dr. Ours. Really? Yeah. So I kept hearing. I don't hear Dr. Oz. Hey, Monster, we appreciate you.

Thank you for calling and thanks for providing us, I don't know, eight minutes content here. Awesome. Yeah. Good luck. Hey, congratulations to the new dad. I'm so excited for you. Bobby, I'm so excited for you to be a dad. And Amy, tell your husband, thank you, thank you for his service. Well do.

You got him, monster. Hey, keep rocking. All right, see you. Yeah, he's got like three kids left in him. I have a feeling. He's got like three more left on him. All right. I love that.

And then a little sliver that was in there that we never went back on was that he said, I never wanted kids. No, or get married. Or the sliver we didn't really invest in either was, you know, somebody came and comforted him. We made a quick reference. Oh, so much. that's the deal. When you're live, you don't know what's going to happen here on this show. Tomorrow we'll draft our favorite Christmas movies. So be ready for that. Tomorrow morning.

Bristin and Mississippi is on the phone. Bristol, what's going on? How's it going, Mr. Bobby? Pretty good, buddy. What's happening? Oh, not much, man. Hey, dude, I just wanted to say you thank y'all for what y'all do, man. My grandfather has got cancer and my dad passed away not long ago, and I just want to thank y'all. man, y'all get me through the day, dude. I mean, y'all do an awesome job, bro. You and the whole crew. I appreciate that.

Sorry, you're going through that with your dad and your grandpa. Yeah, I know, man. But y'all get me through the day, man. Like I say, y'all, y'all do great. Y'all have a great show, man. Thank you. And I just want to tell you guys that. Well, we appreciate that call, and good luck to you, man.

Hopefully the rough road gets a little easier for you. Yeah, I hope so, man. All right, buddy. I hope so, because it's been pretty rough, like. But I appreciate you guys. All right, Bristin. See you later. All right. All, bye, bye.

This is Larry in Mississippi who left us a voicemail last night. Hey, Bobby Bones. Good morning, studio. I was just listening to the podcast on the conspiracy theories of Bobby Bones. And I just had a question for Bobby. If you could get your eyes fixed, would you still wear the glasses? And then another question I wanted to ask was, I read a while back that when you first moved to Nashville, you actually started a negative campaign about yourself on billboards and whatnot.

I'd love to hear more about that. All right, the answer both of your questions. One, probably now if I could get my eye fixed, I would still wear glasses at times. Because I'm such a generic white guy that people just know me from my glasses. probably now because they've just been stated and anything that I do on camera. So, yes, but my eye can't be fixed because it's actually in my brain.

I've been to every doctor, they all say the same thing. This is not an eye problem. This is something that happened upon birth and it's, you know, you're nogging. Yeah. So two, yes, and in my first book, I write about it at length.

My book's called Bare Bones. But when we moved to Nashville, we were hated. I mean, we didn't get on, a social media for two years and really look at replies. And so I thought, well, if everybody already hates us, let's see what we can do here. So I bought some billboards, massive billboards and just said, go away Bobby Bones. And I didn't tell anybody on the show. No, we had no idea. I didn't tell anybody at the company. I was like, who bought these? This is so rude. And years

later, I revealed it in my book. And it was really one of the greatest things ever did. Because people started to go that people that didn't know who I was who is this guy Bobby Bones who's the guy with the dumb name what's he doing and then other people were like who's spending money to make this guy go away so for me I look back at our time here and go man I'm really glad I did that I needed that

we needed that you know but yes I did but you can read bare bones and it's all in there for you here is another voice from last night does Amy have a pinky toe well there's a conspiracy theory about me that she doesn't have a pinky toe on earth. I have pinky toes on both feet. Yeah.

Why is that a thing? I don't know. Yesterday's show we talked about things that are written about me that just aren't true. For example, my eyes really aren't messed up, that I wear glasses is fake. I'm really not six foot tall. I didn't grow up poor. It's just stuff people make up because they know it'll get clicks or responses. And I guess the pinky toe ones got, I don't know.

never seen the mowing eyes. You could be lying right now. No, I have pinkie toes. Show the toe. Show the toe. No, no, no. That's weird. Is this a way to get my pinky toe?

And she asked it in such a way. Play that clip again? Does Amy have a pinky toe? Oh, maybe she wants to know. I'm good. At one point on the show, what? Who was the race car driver that wanted to see Amy's feet? Tony Stewart.

Oh, he did see my feet. I was wearing sandals and he complimented. my feet. I don't know what he said. Something like, you have nice feet lunchbox? I think that was not for you then. He said, you have nice feet lunchbox? I think that was not for you then. I'm asking lunchbox because he was there. He said, man, those are some really nice feet

you got there. Yeah, I mean, it was aggressive. It wasn't like, I like your shoes. Or like a, like a, like a way to compliment the feet without complimenting the feet. It was straight for the feet. Yeah, that's weird. You can leave us a voicemail any time. We're not on the air. So call

us 877. 77 Bobby. One of the questions I get the most is, and a lot of times I don't answer it because it's like somebody asking me in written form, like, hey, what's good right now? And if I'm being fully transparent, a lot of the stuff that comes out now sounds very similar

and I don't spend a lot of time with it other than I listen to the radio songs and be like, yeah, good or not good. But again, there's a problem. You could work in any format and it would feel the same. But everything just sounds the same, you know? I love the Stapleton stuff. There are certain things I do love.

But for the most part, whatever. All the dudes sound the same, you know. But I did find this Morgan Wade record, and I was telling you guys about it a couple weeks ago, but I'm going to play some of the songs here. This is the only project that I've been a real fan of, the whole thing, in probably three years, other than a Stapleton record.

But where I listen to the whole thing, and I'm like, man, this is so good that if, like, she doesn't become a star, or it doesn't become massive. Like, I don't understand anymore, and I should just leave. I should just quit. So, because I'm assuming you guys haven't listened to it.

No. No. Okay. Here is, let's play a little bit from the beginning of the song Reckless. Here you go. Going too fast and the wrong way. Swimming I'll pass where the ways break. I don't know where I'm going now.

I see no signs of slowing down. Trying to make sense of this whole thing. Everybody runs from something someday. I don't have a clue. Who I am without you. Had me thinking I was okay. Oh, yeah. And if you, she has tattoos all up her neck.

Oh, she has, um, it's awesome. She has over 100 tattoos. You've met her? Yeah, I interviewed her. I did a full interview in here with her for women of IHeart country. I've never met her. Was she good live? Oh, yeah.

She's great. Wow, look at you. Amy's one step ahead. She knows. Yeah. Okay, here's another one. This is matches and metaphors. It's raining in my house.

Is it raining at yours? Rain to pours. To hell with the metaphors. I want you so bad. I'm sorry. I keep feeding you these lines. What? all of her tattoos were fake, like my eyes being messed up.

Because you just believe her because she's so, you're like, well, she has some story to tell. Yeah. Like regardless. Like, she has neck, I mean, I can never pull up a neck tattoo. Could I? No. No, no. No.

Nope. Nope. Nope. What would I get? What would I get if I already get a neck tattoo? What do you mean? Flames. No, that's too hardcore.

Like, I would need something like a SpongeBob or something on my neck, you know? Something that's not so hardcore, but you're still like. like, that guy did it. You got a neck tattoo. We can play a hook of her single. This is her single Wilder Days. We haven't stopped down on this show and just been like, here's all this music from this artist until now, but I'm just a massive fan of Morgan Wade.

Also, it's interesting, her name's almost like Morgan Wallin. Which, Morgan W.A., I mean, that's probably confusing for a lot of playlists when you're pulling it up. Morgan Waugh. And it probably pulls up Wallin. But, man, she is great. I'm just a massive fan. ever met her. Amy, apparently, it's BFFs. No, but I did spend about an hour with her.

I'm nervous that people and I really like people's music. Do they come in and they can't play live? Oh, no, she performed live. She did Wilder Days. She did a cover of the chicks. She said that was like the chicks were a big inspiration for her growing up. She grew up in a small town in Virginia. She carried a knife? I did not ask her.

But her eyes in person, she has the, she might have. one of the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen. You know, not going to comment on that. Well, I'm just saying they were studying. Paral eyes? Sometimes you see a beautiful one eye or what? Every's like, hey, that dude had a great singular eye. The other one sucked, but his left one rocked. And then I started to be like, should I even say this?

And so I said it awkwardly. But sometimes you have different colored eyes. Hers are both the same. That's so rare. My dogs had different colored eyes. Okay, so anyway, her name is Morgan Wade. I don't know or I haven't met her, but I'm such a big fan of her entire album

that I just, it's the only thing that I've just turned on. Since Casey's last record, not so much, but since like Casey's Golden Hour record or Stapleton records or Old Dominion I do, other than that, I'm like, I'll check out a couple songs and I'm good. Something cool that she mentioned was that, like, she didn't know,

she knew she always wanted to kind of do this, and it wasn't until maybe 19 she ever performed live in front of anybody. She had just kind of been doing it. her thing, privately, not knowing if she was ever going to be able to go out there and do it. And then she did it at 19, went out there, first performance. I just thought that was interesting later in life. But knowing at like 13, 14, 15, that's what she wanted to do.

Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes us from Tennessee. There was a woman at McDonald's waiting for her order. You know, ordered a couple hamburgers, some fries sitting there. One minute goes by, okay. Two minutes.

three minutes she thinks they're taking too long so she walks behind the counter goes and gets the lady cooking the burger wha! pops her across the head. Yeah. Yeah, three minutes too long to wait for those burgers and fries. Well, walk behind the counter. I mean, not behind the counter,

she went behind the counter and then back to where they're cooking the food. That's risky. For everybody. Risky for her. Risky for the people that are back there. Like, you're not safe anywhere anymore. I mean, you can just take, I mean, if you're the worker, you throw some hot oil on her or something, you know, some grease.

That's a whole other. Well, you've got to defend yourself. Cooking war back there. Yeah. Jeez. That escalated quickly. I don't know that I'd go third-degree burns on someone. I'm lunchbox at your bonehead store of the day.

Here are your top songs and country music this week. At number three, Chris Stapleton, you should probably leave. That's a good one. At number two, Michael Ray, whiskey and rain. Yeah, whiskey and rain. Coming down. That really sounds like an old-school song, doesn't it? That's why I like that one.

The recording of it sounds current, but the vibe of it feels like a 90s, late 90s country song. Number one, Dustin Lynch and McKinsey Porter, think about you. Number one pop song, and I almost don't want to play this song because as soon as I do, it's bad news for me.

Because I will not stop singing it all day. What do you think it is? And I only know one part of it. I only know basically just the main line of the chorus. Heatwave? Is it Heat Wave? What's heat wave? Oh, that's the song of my zone has on repeat.

So I figure it must be big right now. It's by glass animals. Yeah, you jump me on. I haven't been attached to any sort of new music or TikTok for a month. Okay. No, it's not Heat Wave. But maybe we pull that up in a second. I'm curious to hear Heat Wave by the Glass Animals.

Adele, easy on me. I mean, one of the biggest earworms of the year. Just a... So when you say it's stuck in your head, do you sing it out loud like Adele? Head. So you never, it never comes out the mouth? Rarely. Sometimes it does, but mostly if this song comes out of my mouth, I just go,

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. You never go for it? No, rarely. I wonder if I can, though. Let me try. Come on. Go e-e-oh, it's tough. You gotta go higher.

Oh, I know, but I'm trying to keep it low. Oh. Go easy on me be. I can't. But if I were to go higher, go e-e-e-e. Hey, that's not bad. it. I have to pick my spot. What are you telling me to go higher for?

I don't know. It sounded low. But I tried to keep up low so I could hit it. I know I can't hit it high. So he's doing the tenor version. So yes, I'm trying to. I do the bass version. That's your number one pop song. Ray, did you find the new, what's this called again? He waves by ice animals. Turn it up.

Here we go. Oh, I know this song. Last night all I think about it. I know this song. This is an older pop song. He waved in freaking mail. I didn't know the name of it, though. I didn't know if it's old. This is all we listened to.

This is a good one, though, too. I'm like, I let him listen to the lyric video and watch it and sing it. And I'm like, oh, good. This is helping you read and you're English. Maybe I'm not as out of touch as I thought. Good. I'm glad you know it. You know it.

Well, this one was cool before I left, before I left the country. Oh, okay. Yeah. Okay, we're done. That's it for now. Goodbye, friends.
