If you're new to this podcast, what we do now is just ramble until you get to hear today's radio show. I'll start with this.

Dexter has been revived at Showtime for one season. I love Dexter. I love how Dexter ended. Some people People hated it. I'm not going to run it, but I love Dexter. And so Michael C. Hall will return as the avenging serial killer eight years after the last show aired. If you're looking for a show to watch and it takes a long time, like you want to really get invested, I think there are eight seasons, maybe seven, but it's a great show. And of course, some seasons are better than others. That's anything that goes three or four seasons. Some are like, you know where it really sort of sucking was this. Well, it goes up and down. If you're on that long and you're that successful, some are going to be better than others.

A friend reached out about the office the other day and say, hey, I'm on the last season of the office. It's a struggle. Because Michael Scott left. They bring in new characters. It's not as good as season. What season is that? Eight.

Nine. Oh, okay. Wow, and how many seasons are the total? Nine total. Okay. And so he's like, I'm on season nine of the office. And I say, yeah, it's a struggle because some of the new characters. And obviously they've been on a long time.

He said, but the end of it wraps it all up in a bow and you're going to love it. Just watch it. Now I can watch every episode. No problem. I've just seen it so many times. Still watch it when I go to bed. But it's off Netflix as of December 31st.

It goes over to the cock. The peacock. The peacock. Yeah. Peacock. They don't call it. What? I don't think they call it that.

But if you want to start, that's fine. No, that's what we call it. We just tossed out a nickname to see if it stuck. Guess it didn't stick? Nope. Not good? We can make it stick. Are people, are you allowed to talk about your

son by using his name anymore? Yeah, we can talk about it. He just told me. He gave me the heads up that we can now use his name again. Oh, you're back. Yeah, we're back. He got recognized at the grocery store and the guy that worked there was so nice to him. In fact, Stevenson even described him as the kindest man in the world.

And I think he just thought it was really cool meeting a listener. And the listener said, because Stevenson said, how do you know who I am? My name? He's like, I listen to the Bobby Bone Show. You're Stevenson. So then he brought up again, he's like, remember when I told you how you couldn't use my name? Well, I'm okay with it now again. I said, okay, well, we've been trying to respect your wishes and calling you my son.

But if you're fine with it now, it'll be much easier to use your name. So he said, yeah, go ahead. It's fine. The guy recognized you guys with masks on? Well, I mean, he recognized Stevenson first, which. That's crazy. Yeah, I mean. From his eyes.

Yeah, his eyes. I guess maybe I can't, I'm trying to think if he had on his Superman costume. Was he talking his accent? Because he still has a Haitian accent. No, he was pushing the cart. He loves to push the cart. But maybe he saw him with two white parents, kind of a dead giveaway at times. Yeah. You got a new request for a podcast endorsement, B-Y-O-B? Well, there's these sheets and I thought that their advertising was right up your alley because B-Y-O-B normally stands for, you know, bring your own beer or bring your own Bible, whatever. But I had never heard of B-Y-O-B when it's bring-your-own bedding.

And I just like, when I went to their website, and I was like, oh, man, this is right up Bobby Zalley. I bet, especially with coronavirus, I wouldn't be surprised if you start traveling with your own bedding everywhere you go. Well, I used to travel with my own bedding everywhere I went. Then I would do TV stuff and they would put me in nice hotels. and they would change out their stuff every day. And I'd request it because I'm a germaphobe. So it just depends on the kind of hotel I'm going into now. Yeah.

Like when we're taping our Nat Geo show, we're usually staying at whatever's the closest. It can be pretty nice or kind of dumpy. And we're all good with that because we're just in really small parts of very unknown places. And then I'll take some sheets. But even now, I feel like people are cleaning their stuff really wonderfully because everybody's scared of getting corona.

So, yeah, that's interesting, though. All right. That's all I got for today. We're going to get to today's show. That's pretty good. Anything you'd like to say, Amy? You have a new episode of Four Things Up? Yep.

With Matthew West, which, if you're familiar with him, you already know he's awesome as a Christian singer-songwriter person. But even if you've never heard of him, or you're not into Christian music or whatever, it's an inspiring episode. Like, he's amazing storyteller. He has a lot of wisdom. Right.

There you go. Back. Well, we're going to play this show. All right, bye, guys. Okay, bye.

but it hits harder than we realize. It's not just numbers in a bank account. It's the anxiety that keeps you up at night. It's the tension that it can create in relationships and that constant feeling of, am I doing enough? There are moments where it's overwhelming, where no matter how hard you work, you feel like you just can't quite get ahead.

And what you learn is that stress isn't just financial. It's emotional. That's why it's important to check in with yourself. Because struggling and struggling with money doesn't mean you fail. It means you might need support in a different way. Therapy can help you unpack the stress, the pressure, even the beliefs that you've carried about money for years. And with better help, you can get matched with a licensed therapist who fits your needs.

Plus, if it's not the right fit, you can switch at any time. You don't have to carry the weight alone. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help. Sign up and get 10% off at betterhelp.com slash bobby. That's BetterHelp. H-E-L-P, better-help.com slash Bobby. Betterhelp.com slash Bobby.

Coming up in just a little bit, we'll talk to Tanya Tucker. All day long, I'll be talking to my friends here in the studio. Morning, studio. Morning. This is a voicemail we got last night. Here you go. Hey, guys. So I actually have an interview next week for a job, and it's supposed to last all day.

I have six interviews, and I have to do a presentation about myself. And I'm so, so nervous. So could you all just help me a little bit and tell me what to do to get over the nerves and how to perform my best in this interview? Thanks. Love the show. This will go for public speaking or an interview or anything that you don't normally do that you have to do that is a bit uncomfortable, okay? you're not going to get over the nerves

unless you take like a X and then you might be a little fluffy in another part of your life. I wouldn't recommend that. What I would say to you is that you just have to accept you're going to be nervous and not be upset at yourself for being nervous because it's a lot easier to perform how you want to perform if your expectation is, oh, I'm going to get nervous. If your expectation isn't that, you're like, I'm going to fight it.

When it happens to you, you will react in a negative way. So not the advice you want to hear because it's not going to cure your problem, but it's at least going to make it acceptable to you to have it and go, well, I'm going to get nervous. And while I'm nervous, I will do this. So that's my first recommendation. Secondly, the little trick that I try to do is I try to imagine, if I'm nervous, sending all the nerves to one spot in my body.

Because sometimes, if it's a big performance for me, if I have to go on stage and, you know, do stand up and it's taped, or, you know, I did the, Reba was given the real fancy award. In D.C. Yeah, in D.C. And I had to go out and do 10 minutes

to stand up in front of Supreme Court justices, Reba McIntyre, all these. It was the most pressure that I've ever felt, period, in performing. Because it wasn't about me. And what I did is went, well, here I am at the Kennedy Center Honors. In the Kennedy Center. I shouldn't be here.

I had crazy imposter syndrome, but I was asked to do it. So I said, okay, well, here we go. I'm extremely nervous. What do I do? One, it's okay to be nervous. I'm supposed to be nervous. You're supposed to be nervous in big situations in your life. Good or bad.

You're supposed to be nervous. Secondly, how do I temper this a little bit? And so what I did is I just imagined taking all the nerves and bawling it up inside of my shoulder and then I just pushed it out of my hand. Is it stupid? Yeah. Did it work a little bit? Yeah, a little bit.

It also gave me something to focus on other than me being nervous. that's my recommendation to you and anybody out there is going through something. One, it's okay to be nervous. You should be. Be excited that you're nervous because rarely in life do you get to be nervous about awesome things. You have a chance to get a great job here. Look at you. Congratulations. You get to be nervous. How about that? And then secondly, you have to find a way to focus on it that it doesn't just overtake you completely. So that's my advice to you. Appreciate the call. I think a lot of people can use that advice. I could have used it five or six years ago.

Yeah, I would just say, too, picture yourself doing an amazing job. I channel some of my nervous energy, and I've heard Bobby say tons of times, and I hear him in my head say, yes, be thankful that you're nervous about something because that means it's important. And so if you want to do well, picture yourself doing well and channel some of those nerves into positive energy of you killing it and doing the best that you can do, and that'll be better than if you're freaking out and thinking you're going to mess up. You're not going to mess up and have that be your vision.

Good luck. You didn't leave a name here, but we're rooting for you. I hope you do fantastic at that. All right. How's your day? You good so far? Yeah. Doing great.

You got a pretty good show today. Tanya Tucker, again, coming up in a little bit, Eddie's foster kid took something to school. He should have taken to school. We'll hear about, yeah, we'll hear about that on the way. Could have got him suspended. Fine. It was meth.

What? Oh, my gosh. It was. It's not. It wasn't. But that's what everybody's thinking in their head. So I just wanted to let everybody know what's not. Yeah, because Eddie has that laying around.

Who knows? Like Lunchbox says, you never know who you're sleeping next to or is in the same studio. On the Bobby Bones Show now. Tanya Tucker. Hey, Tanya, how are you? Hey, I'm good. Thanks. Appreciate you, Colin, talking with us.

Tanya's put out a new record. It's live from the Trubidor, which is out at midnight tonight. So you guys can hop on it tonight. But tomorrow, you know, new music comes out on Friday. I just wanted to roll through a couple of these tracks real quick before I talk to you about it The final track is Delta Dawn This is the big one from back with Tanya first started

Here you go So do you close all of your shows with this song, Tanya? I do I have for years Yeah, that's the one I end everything with Are people standing up and singing every word of this song? Well, in most cases That's very true

You know, and we let them come down to the front of the stage if they want to get a little closer. I like to get a little closer to them. And, I mean, I just read people's faces while they're singing this song, and it's always a great experience for me. You were 13 years old when Delta Don became a hit. What is it like is the 13-year-old having a number one song? You know, a lot of hard work. a lot of back kitchens, back doors.

It was anything but glamorous. If anything, it's much more compelling for me now than it was then. Because back then, I was struggling, you know, trying to do all kinds of shows and trying all kinds of musicians. And the fact, I didn't even have a band until I was about, about 16, I guess. So I had to work with house musicians, and that wasn't pleasant a lot of times. But the song has got me through so much up and down and out,

and I'll tell you what, it's always there for me, and people are always there to hear it. Track six on this live from the troubadour is a really cool medley of Bruce Springston. I'm on fire, into Ring of Fire, Johnny Cash. I'm going to play a little bit of this. That is such a cool song. How'd you guys settle on that medley, Tanya? Gosh, you know, I've been asked that,

and I keep trying to figure out what the answer is. I think it was just one time during rehearsal. I just kind of put them together. I mean, there's both songs about fire. And I think there was one other song I was going to add to it. I think it was the Pointer Sisters. Remember that song? Fire.

I'm riding in his car. Remember that one? Yeah. I'm on fire. I thought, well, that's actually another song about fire. So I think that's really what made me do it. But I like to kind of go off the grid sometimes. You know, I always do my songs.

So sometimes it gives me a little breather to kind of go and do someone else's songs, especially ones that I really, really, you know, revere and people that I've really loved, some friends, I've never met, but of course Johnny Cash I knew and June Carter. So it's kind of neat. And I'd like to also do things that are a little unexpected. And I don't think that you would expect me. You wouldn't expect to hear me sing this song, Ring of Fire, or I'm on Fire.

But I can only hope that Frank St. Hears that I've never met him would love to do so someday. but my son loves him and he really loves that song so I think it probably started out with him my son Grayson but I sure would love to hear from old Bruce and see what he thinks about it

we'll put a call out Ray let's put a call out to Bruce and see if we can let him know all right? I saw it. Called Johnny too. Well, I can't get a hold of Johnny but I can try Bruce.

I saw that your English bulldog Stella I saw on Instagram I also have a English bulldog my question is how much have you spent on vet bills that's funny it's not really funny but it is funny I said thank you Dennis played you know he gave her to me when she was just a baby but are you still there yeah I'm still listening I'm totally ready for what you're about to say because I'm sure I've experienced it too okay okay I guess I was getting a call so they'll just gonna have to wait but anyway yeah he gave it to me when she was about four or five months old

and he actually gave me two one week he right away named Loretta Lynn because it was her birthday and she's a rare blue but I couldn't keep her because they fought so bad but I kept Stella

and she has just been wonderful but let me tell you she's definitely a rich man's dog you know and you know what I mean I mean I call her the $20,000 dog because you know she's had operations on her eyes or her

throat but you know they have small tracheas and she just got her second eye operation

and now she's going to have to have a little facel because she's got a really bad wrinkles

so I think me and her to get two for one maybe she is the love of my life she really is and some

wonderful artist just painted did a show in Kentucky a couple Fridays ago

and a wonderful guy, Nick his name was Mike Johnson. He sent up a beautiful painting of Stella. So I've got it up on my wall now. But they are great dogs. What's your dog's name? My dog's name is Stanley, and he was given to me, and I was told, hey, he's sick when I give him to you. And I was like, listen, I'll take a dog. I love a dog.

I'll nurse him back. But then I realized sick means for a bulldog. He's had nine surgeries at this point. Oh, yeah. Well, we've got to get our dogs together. That would be great to have a little play date. You know, and... What color is yours?

Brown and white. Kind of like Stella? Yeah. And Bulldogs are... My dog bullies every other dog, like, runs into them. So I think that would be good if they kind of met their match, you know? Oh, absolutely. And it's your snore because, oh, boy.

Stella is a snore or a bad. Yeah. We run straight out of bed. A lot of times, me and her both would be snoring so bad. He can't sleep in the same bed. But, you know, he's... I mean, it's just the way it is. Right now, Tanya Tucker.

I love it so much, though. Right now, Tanya Tucker's on the phone with us. She has a new record that's coming out at midnight tonight tomorrow. Be sure to check it out live from the Trubidor. Do you have your Grammys yet? Have they mailed them to you? I finally got them the other day. And I have them in here right beside my piano.

And I'm very proud of them. That's pretty cool. Whenever you saw that you were the most nominated country artist, how'd you feel? Well, I mean, I felt like I was dreaming. really it is it's just hard to imagine and then

for the one the one that we were up for that was really blew my mind was a song of the year all genres so to me wow

this being the top five songs of all genres was you know wow just amazed me but winning song of the year was just

an album of the year wow I just want this year last and last and last because it seems like it's going by so quickly and I really want to enjoy it more, you know? Yeah, here's a clip of that. Here's Bring My Flowers Now. This is from the live record.

Bring my flowers now while I'm living. I won't need your love when I'm gone. But Tanya is really nice to talk to you. I appreciate the time. I hope so many people listen to this live record and then they'll come see you live once we're able to go to shows again. Well, I'm such a fan of your show, and I think you have a beautiful boy. I love talking to you.

And I just, I'm such a fan of yours, and I want to congratulate you, too, on your proposal for Caitlin. Oh, thank you very much. I said, I always tell my friends when they're going to get married, I say, well, I'll sing the song at the wedding, right? and I'm saying another one bites to this. All right, there she is. Tanya Tucker, everybody. All right, Tanya, have a great day. Talk to you soon, hopefully.

Okay, love you. All right, bye-bye. Eddie, so what happened with your foster kid? Yeah, you took a gun to school. What kind of gun? A water gun. Oh, my God. He took a water gun, and when I picked him up from school,

the teacher goes, oh, he found something in his bag that he shouldn't have had. What did you think it was immediately? Oh, I don't know. My mind's like, well, what could be in his house? his bag. You know, he's, he's what, five, six years old? You know, what can it be in his bag?

And they're like, we found a water gun in there. And we just told him it's not a big deal, but we told him you just can't be bringing that to school. So I turn around, look at him like, you had a water gun? He goes, I don't know how I got in my bag. So we traced it back. It's when we took a trip, you know, like a few weeks ago or whatever, and we let them pack their backpacks with toys.

And he left a water gun in there. I was like, oh my gosh. He didn't take it out and start squirting people with it. No, no. He was taking a book out and it just fell out. But it reminded me too because anytime stuff like that happens, I kind of tell a little story like, you know, that happened to me when I was a kid. What?

I took a bullet to school. Didn't mean to. Again, we were on a hunting trip the weekend before and I had a bunch of bullets in my bag. And it fell out of my bag. And at the end of the school day, somebody was like, miss, we found the bullet. And the teacher was like, a bullet. And like, yeah. And I was like, oh, gosh, that's mine for sure.

It's a rifle bullet. Like a real, real bullet. And I had to claim it, one of the principal's office and everything. And he was just like, wow, really? I'm like, yes, it's not a big deal. You just got to check your bag. You know, don't take stuff like that. But it was a lesson.

It was fine. And no one got in huge trouble. I think times and locations affect situations. Whenever I was in high school, obviously you're talking about the late 90s. We would have shotguns in our back window in the window. The gun. Yeah. And you'd have bullets in your backpack pocket. But I'm from a rural town in Arkansas, and hunting wasn't something that was sensationalized. It was like bullets and guns. It was just a tool.

And so it wasn't a deal. Yeah. You didn't bring a pistol. You don't make you some sort of handgun. No, it was just bullets. And one of them fell out. And I mean, it's a six millimeter bullet, man. Like so it looked like, I mean, I think today, if they found that, the whole school would get shut down. Caitlin had a school shooting in Oklahoma at her school when she was a kid. So much of this, she had to get out of school. And her mom had a teacher for a year. Some people get shot. Yeah, people get shot. The guy came in shooting. Yeah. And I think that's why this is such a big deal.

Even the teacher, she's like, it's not a big deal. Right. But we have to tell you and anyone else like, they just can't bring that to school, even if it looks fake. And in some schools, they're so, this is the rule, don't break it. They suspend the kid immediately. Right. They're like, we hate to have to do this.

But the rule says this. You knew the rule before you came in and now we have to enforce the rule. And although it seems very extra. you go, well, it was the rule, and everybody knew the rule, and at least they stated it ahead of time. Yeah. So, luckily, that wasn't the case. No, it was not the case, luckily, you're right. Did he learn anything from it?

Yeah, he learned, check his bag before he goes to school, make sure there's nothing inappropriate in there. Do you have any school shooting at your school? No. Lunchbox did you? No, one time there was a guy showing off a gun in English class and he shot the girl through the leg. I mean, it wasn't like a shooting, but he was just showing off, and he literally, he ran out of the building, stole two cars because he freaked out. Like he was like, I got to go, and he got arrested. And then another guy showed me, like, we were in line at the cafeteria and he attached me a show.

I was like, look at this. He had a gun in his backpack. And I was like, cool, Sean. Cool. Gotta go. Whatever happened to old Sean? Doesn't seem like guys making a lot of great decisions. Well, Eddie, glad to hear that everything is fine.

Yeah, thank you. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two's 32nd Skinny. Low Cash dropped a song with the Grankowski Brothers. It's called Cloud of Dust. So come on his own.

This story comes to us from Japan A man was at a video game arcade and he was like Ooh I think I'm going to try to win a stuffed animal Out of the Claw game He tried once, failed Twice failed Tried 200 times in a row

Go ahead. Question number two. A hex wrench, also known as an Allen wrench, has how many sides? A hex wrench, also known as an Allen wrench, has how many sides? I feel like, it's like hexagon. I was going to say five, but then it would be a pent wrench.

Pentagon. Hectagon? Hex. I don't know. Six. Correct. I really just guessed. Unbelievable. She's walking down a maze blind. Running into walls and all of a sudden she might the short cut out. She pushes a trap door and ends up winning the race.

Okay. Mr. Olympia is an annual contest that judges what activity? I mean. Mr. Olympia. Body. I feel like it was Arnold's World. Mr. Olympia? Bodybuilding.

Correct. Yes. That's crazy. Wasn't he? Was he? Yeah. I think I saw that in a documentary. I can't believe she got any of those.

I know. Much less all three of them. Lunchbox. Yeah. Another name for a half bathroom, usually on the ground floor of a home, is called what? These questions Amy would know, but lunchbox shows.

We'll see if he gets a more. It's called a half bathroom. Another name for a half bathroom, usually on the ground floor, is known as what? Well, I mean, you put a vanity sink, so I'll call it a vanity. I have no idea. A vanity is incorrect. Amy? It's a powder bath.

Yeah. Powder bathroom or powder room would have been accepted off. Because your guests go in there to powder their nose. What is this, the 30s? No, it's still a thing because she brought that up at my house. She was like, you have a powder room? I was like, she said it on the show. Yeah, and Bobby Dotterman.

Who calls it that? Exactly. What type of dance is also a term used when sewing spotted patterns on fabric? Oh, that's the polka dance. Correct. Really? Yeah, I mean, you never watch the show you think he can dance? Nope, no.

And she fought back every time. Amy's up 1-0. Nice job, Amy. I just want to put this out there. You know, a lot of folks are getting texts on their phone, they go, hey, you have a package, click here, we'll tell you where to get that package. And the reason that scammers are able to do this and make it work is because this really happens. Like sometimes I'll get a text on FedEx going, we have a package. We weren't able to get to your house or we need a signature or we made a drop off. But now the Federal Trade Commission is

going, hey, don't click on anything, just to be safe. So a lot of people have been shopping online the past few months. Generally, that happens, but more so than ever because people aren't wanting to go to stores as much. So they're saying, hey, don't fall for any people. package delivery texts or emails that contain a link. The new scam tries to trick people into opening a text or email about the status of FedEx, post office, or UPS delivery. They look like they're from the carriers about a package. Instead, they link to a survey that asks for a credit card number.

FedEx says they will never send messages asking for money or personal information. UPS, USPS, all say the same. The Federal Trade Commission says, if you get something from FedEx, contact FedEx directly through a phone number that you know to be true. go through their website and go your own way to find it. But I'm telling you, I get real ones. And that's what's confusing about it. I got it right here.

Jonathan, Urgent Alert. Boy, they're guessing a name too, huh? Yeah. Urgent alert regarding the USPS delivery L54K5. Click here. I wonder why they'd put a name though. If I were smart, I would be like, hey, sir. Yeah.

Or not even put a name. Because there's just a good chance that that's not even your name. So just to pass that along to you guys, because I don't want anybody to get taken advantage of there. There was another story. There's an 11-year-old who's been charged in Louisiana after stealing a school bus. Whoa, 11-year-old? And then engaging in a police chase.

Can you imagine, if you're just driving on the road and you look over and an 11-year-old's driving the bus beside you? This is like the biggest 11-year-old ever. How did their feet hit the pedal? An 11-year-old boy in Louisiana is facing multiple charges after stealing a school bus, taking it for a joy ride. He's from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. They allege the preteen saw the bus at an early childhood education center,

figured out how to turn it on and began driving. Well, turning it on is not hard. Sure. You see enough TV shows and movies where you just turn the ignition. Video from the incident on Sunday shows a school bus being chased by several police vehicles. Listen to this. The chase lasted about an hour. Oh, man.

Before the bus crashed into a gas line and a tree in a woman's front yard, causing severe damage to the bus. Quote, thank goodness he was okay. Libby Smith, owner of the property where he crashed. He was safe, but it was not your time. typical Sunday afternoon occurrence. There were no injuries reported. The boy's been charged with theft of a motor vehicle, aggravated flight, three counts of aggravated damage to property, and aggravated assault. I'm looking at them, arrest the boy. There's time from the back, they don't have his face.

Doesn't look like a big kid. Really? Looks like an 11-year-old. Is he having the most fun of his life ever while the cops are chasing or is he having the worst time and not knowing what to do? He's like, oh my God. Yeah, I don't know. Most fun. I'm just so glad everyone's okay.

I mean, you look at 11, he's having a blast, right? He doesn't really know what the repercussions are. I'm sure looking at all the police surrounding him. The buses crashed into a tree. He's in jeans and a black t-shirt, and they got him handcuffed. They're talking to him as he's standing up. Wow. To drive a school bus, you need to have a CDC license, right?

Isn't that what that is? Yeah. So here's what's happening. I'm doing this show now. It should come out next year on Nat Geo. And it's called Breaking Bobby Bones, where I take on challenges from other people. I learn about and tell their story.

and they have stories similar to mine backgrounds that weren't the best or they've had a situation in their life that was extremely unfortunate and how they're able to continue persevering succeeding some of them have jobs some of them have um hobbies or passions that they do that are tough and i try to do and sometimes compete in their passion oh a CDL license thank you a commercial driver's license so one of the stories is this woman who is a truck driver they don't want to give too much about it because we haven't taken the story yet but they hit me last night my producer did my executive producer Jeff. He goes, hey, we need you to get a CDL for you to do this episode. And I was like, wait, what? Because yeah, you need to know how to drive an 18 wheeler. He said, I can't make you do it, but everybody signed off on it. BBC, the company, Nat Geo, the network. And I'm like, well, what does that mean? He goes, well, it's two nights of four hours of learning. Oh, back-to-back nights. So it's eight hours of school. And then it's a 75 question exam. Wow. Oh, he'll do good at that, though. But I don't want to do that. That's a lot.

of time. It feels like driver's ed or it feels like when I would go to class at night. But look at it this way. It could be great for the show. Also, you'll be equipped to drive a truck like that if you ever need to. And when you guys go on the road, you'll be able to drive the bus. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. I'm our driver. Hey, Bones, we're all a little sleepy. You mind taking the wheel? Yeah. You got this. My instinct is to do it because I never, pardon the double negative. I never don't do something because of the amount of work. But I just, what if I fail? No, you won't fail. You don't do that. But that's the thing. And if I do,

you're going to be like, we weren't expecting that. You know, how cool is it though to possess that license? You're going to be able to, like really, if you have a buddy who has a semi, hey man, can I drive real quick? That's awesome. So I could steal that school bus. Yes, you can. And be a little more legal than that kid. All right. So I should, I feel like I should do it. Yeah, for sure. But you guys are, are weighing that I should do two hours of school.

I mean, you got to do what you got to do. I agree. Dang. I was kind of hoping you guys would push me the other way. Let's go over to Lauren in Ohio. Hey, Lauren, how are you? I'm doing well, Bobby. Good morning.

Good morning studio. Morning. So I've been listening to y'all since you moved to the Big 98 since you'll move to Nashville because I used to live there. And I always loved pimping joy and tell me something good. But Amy, I have always wanted to tell you how much of an inspiration you've been in my life. I began really dedicated listening when you were going through the adoption process with your children, and I've kept listening because I fell in love with all of your personalities.

I start almost every single day with you guys. I love your soul, Amy. You show it through your heart and just your words in the way that you are always there for Bobby, and you're really an inspiration, and I just want to thank you for sharing your light with us. And Bobby, thank you so very much for bringing her all. along for the ride because, I mean, I would have eventually found y'all, but Amy, you just, you blow me away. I don't even know.

That's like super kind and thoughtful, and I'm so glad that you found the show and that you, like everyone has been a part of your life. Like, that's what we want to do every morning. So thank you for this call because I think that gives us purpose to come in every day. And furthermore, I wouldn't be here where I am without you. I tell you that all the time. But I wouldn't be here without you. That's true.

Or anybody in this room. Everybody plays such an intricate role in what this show has to offer. And yeah, that's, I don't know. I'm, that's a really nice call. Well, Lauren, thank you. We really appreciate that and we appreciate you listening to. I hope you have an awesome day. Yeah, thank you.

Well, I love you guys and thank you so much. Keep your light shining, everybody. Much of all right. Hey, I'm shining. Shine bright. Like a diamond. A pile of stories. So this woman wanted to use her dog as a photo op opportunity to announce her engagement online.

So she sat her dog down and she wanted to put the engagement ring on her dog's nose. So she put it on the nose, said sit, stay. Well, then the dog tossed it up like a treat, got it in his mouth and swallowed it. Wow. So. I hope they had that on tape. That's hilarious. They do.

And the... Unfortunate. But don't get it back through poop. Eventually. Yeah. And hopefully the dog's okay. Announcement. Yeah, and I was thinking,

that was a little different than the way you and Caitlin went about doing it, but this isn't how the guy proposed at all. This is just how she wanted to show social media that she had a ring and she was now engaged. So have you and Caitlin thought about doing any other, y'all have had announcements all over, and in every outlet and news place? We only posted one thing.

Okay. And I told her, listen, we can do it now. We can do it in two weeks. Like this is yours. You have ownership. this, we'll do it whenever. And she was like, well, let's just do it tonight. It was like 9 o'clock. And I said, well, it's not going to get the most engagement on social media at 9 o'clock. Be honest with it. And she said, I don't care about that. Let's just do it because people wanted

to do like an exclusive announce. And I think we just wanted to own that our own announcement. So we did it. Put it out there as one Instagram post. But then people started doing stories based off the Instagram post. So we didn't do any more than that one announcement. I came here and talked about it on the show, obviously. But that was it. So, you know, we're good. We have a bunch of pictures. We're lucky that we, you know, have a friend who's a photographer and was there, and so we're good.

I'm trying not to be the guy that posts annoying pictures all the time about it, though. I did it one time. I may post one more, and that's going to be it. I think it's totally fine. This is a huge time in your life. It's okay to post.

I like seeing all the pictures. Okay, so care.com heads up is offering free child care on election day. They're partnering with Armed Services YMCA to help get parents out to vote on November 3rd. So if that's something, That might be an issue for you. Hit upcare.com and see if they can help you out.

And then also, too, just speaking of the voting, I saw that they had to put out an announcement for the mail-in ballots, for people to not sanitize them or put them in the microwave to kill any coronavirus and whatnot. The people that have to hear that and that will affect their decision-making, probably didn't need to vote any. And hopefully, yeah, maybe they're not even listening to us. And then lastly, Duckin' Donuts has a new spicy ghost pepper donut that's out today. They're selling it for Halloween and it sounds pretty awesome.

It's like a strawberry icing on top with red sugar sprinkles, but the sprinkles are the hot part. Yeah. I thought Eddie might be enjoyed it. Interesting. I would try that. I would try that. You're going to see how many you can eat? No.

No, no, let's not play that game. Boy, that would get you in two ways. So it's the spicy ghost pepper donut if you want to go check it out. Okay. Yep, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Tell me something good. So this New York nurse has added one more child to her family by adopting a special needs patient that she's been taking care of since he was born. Now he's nine years old, but he was born at 23 weeks premature. So she started caring for him back then. His mother unexpectedly passed away during this time. And so he was in a home.

He had all these different things he needed tended to. But she decided, okay, I need to take him into my home. And he's going to become a member of our family. So at nine years old, he's got a mom and dad and two sisters that are in college. And she said she just knew it's what she had to do. That is a fantastic story. That's somebody so selfless and loving. Kelly DeBecke.

Horns, drums. I mean, no. Is that too bad? It makes them I can't say that on the show It wouldn't be that that's corny after dark There's no way that that could be the answer That would be corny after dark

But I'm thinking big bands They use horns What's the question again? What's the question again? Why is it too risky to let your kids watch big band performances on TV? On TV I mean I would go with a horn

Nothing about we can't go that way We can't just get me it. Right, that's a little too risque for this. And then there's risky and then there's TV. What does that have to do with anything? Screen, big band. That's where they would watch it. Or they could watch it at a theater.

Sure. Or a park. Okay, we'll just use it. All right. So it has nothing to do with TV. I don't know. You just want to... I don't want to say it.

I don't want to say it. No, I'm not even going to say it. No, I'm not even to say it. Well, your mind is going out there. Yeah, but just that's nothing. I don't know where else. It doesn't mean it's appropriate for this time of the morning. I just don't know what else.

I know. That's why I'm saying. Like, yeah. Horned. I mean, I don't know anything about a big band. Let's like. Big orchestra, like horns and. Brian sets a orchestra. Yeah.

Cherry pop and daddies. Yeah. Old jazz. Time. Oh, we're out of time. Cherry pop and daddy. I've heard of them. You want to go with that?

That's all we got. I hope this is an after dark. I wouldn't. I wouldn't do it. I know what? I'm just going to set. We have no answer for this one. A good one.

Smart. Okay. Hit me with that, Ray. The morning corny. Why is it too risky to let your kids watch big band performances on TV? Why? Too much sax and violins. Where's the violence? Oh, violins.

Sex and violence. Sex and violence. Sax and violence. That's funny. Yes. I mean. But that'd have been tough for us to get. We almost got there a little bit.

we wanted to go to have it that one. We did not almost get there. Okay. That's a good joke. That's a tough one. Yesterday we introduced you to Nico Jackson. Yeah, he's back today. Hello, guys.

Who is a character Lunchbox created it because we were just doing a bit to see if he could fool his dad. And he did. He called his dad. He's like, what did you say? You're with the... And voter registration.org. And he answered all the questions.

Answer the questions about the upcoming of ballot and election in the United States of America. You sound just like you, but like your mouth is being Yeah, this is Nico Jackson, though. So he called one of our bosses, like the program director of the radio station here. His name is Gator. And so what did Nico Jackson talk to Gator about? Nico Jackson works for 247 entertainment.

We got this new artist we're trying to pitch. His name, I don't even remember the guy's name, but I had a clip of his song, and I just want to see if we can get in front of you and show off this new artist. Okay, did Gator fall for Nico Jackson, the record rep? Eddie, yes or no? Oh, I would say no. I feel like there's too much lunchbox in Nico Jackson. He's got to know.

I mean, I didn't think lunchbox's dad would fall for it. And he did. So I'm going to say, yeah, Gator does. I'm saying, I'm pretty convention, don't I? I'm going to go, no. Right? Because maybe he even heard the show. Oh, that's true.

Oh, true. Maybe he's already met Nico Jackson's what you're saying? Maybe. Here is Lunchbox trying to fool Gator, and I think he's Nico Jackson. This is Gator. Yeah, Gator. This is Nico Jackson from 246. Entertainment.

And I'm trying to get a new artist played on WSIX. And I was wondering if you had a moment or how we get my new guy, Peter Jordan, in front of you. You name is Peter Jordan? Tell me about Peter. Let's hear about him. We got a clip of his song here. It's called Always the Same. If you want to hear a little bit.

We just want to, you know, we're trying to push this to radio right now. We'd like to get an I-Hart Country World premiere. Yeah, yeah, let's hear. Always looking for new artists. And, yeah, I haven't heard of the guy. So, yeah, play it for me. He came walking in to howdy, howdy, howdy oh. Howdy, howdy.

Howdy. He came walking in to where I was doing the call there at the end. Your Nico Jackson's gotten worse in just two days. He turns in a lunchbox. He's like, I'm Nico Jackson. You go, you do it for about two seconds and then you're back to your normal. Do you hear it? This is Nico Jackson.

Yeah, Nico Jackson didn't know his. best job there, but he did fall for it for a second. I don't think he did. No, that's why he came into the room. I think the only second he fell for it was like, hello, this gator. I'll work on Nico. Incorrect. Lunchbox did not get that one right today. All right, so these are all Disney songs just played on the guitar. See if we can name them. I'm going to play two. Write your answer down. Here we go. Number one.

There it is. Here are marriage tips from Tim McGraw. Expect fights. I mean, everybody fights. We all fight. But I think that the commitment to this is what you want out of life. And having that commitment, I want this to be my life. And sticking with it and not giving up on it, I think is the biggest key.

And certainly love and respect. You all know that. Ray, you get married next weekend. How does that make you feel? I told you guys, man, I'm so excited. I've been, my feet have been warm as can be. I haven't thought twice about it. Do you guys fight hard when you fight?

I don't know if we really fight. We maybe in the moment, go back and forth for a second, but then we'll text or talk over the phone. We don't ever let it go more than like 10 seconds. Really? Yeah, just my family. We never grew up fighting or in person. It was always, you think about it, and then maybe you talk about it later.

It usually just ends up working out. I don't get a huge intense fight if that is ever necessary in a relationship. Maybe it is for some people. If Kailan and I get into a disagreement, I like to just go away. Disagreement time? Say what I want to say. Then I want to go away for a bit and just be alone. compose, think through a little more logically, because when you're emotional, you're usually

not logical. She is the opposite. She likes to sit down, talk about it all the way through, which is healthier, by the way. Me, I like to get in the car and leave. Or go play video games. Give me a second. But she's like, nope, we're going to talk all the way through it. Here's where it's blah, blah, blah. And then by the end, it goes like, okay, you know? She's much more of a communicator when it comes when we get into disagreements about things. Are you guys doing any sort of premarital counseling, Ray? No, my parents wanted us to, but we elected not to. We felt that we were good to go.

Okay, I think most people feel they're good to go. Yeah, yeah, always. Yeah. Amy, did you and your husband do any? We did, but I mean, we got married so fast, but we did do, we did squeeze in the counseling. We found time for that. I think it's important, if you can. And then maybe if you don't do it pre, that you could still do it just to make sure that

You're like you could do it early Marital counseling. Then you can do mid-marriage counseling. I think there's always a need for that. Mainly because we're always evolving. You can always work on yourself. So why not also try to work together? Work on yourselves together.

Next weekend. Big wedding, right, Mundo? Sure. You get to start wearing your wedding band that you bought that has all the diamonds in it. Yeah, I can't wait to break that thing out. What's the wedding tradition you think is the dumbest one you ever heard of? So this is new to me, but I didn't know.

I had heard that you can't see the wedding dress, bride in the wedding dress before the wedding. But now apparently the entire day of the wedding, you're not allowed at all to see your future bride. It's bad luck or something like that. Some people will get together and do pictures. Yeah, we did. You did? What do you recommend a Ray? I think it's a personal preference.

There really is no right or wrong. We chose to do it because of timing. Our wedding and our reception were at the same venue, the ceremony and the reception. and we had to flip it. And in order to keep everything going, we thought, let's just take our photos before the wedding. What are you guys doing? Well, that's called first look.

We're not doing that. So we're not going to see each other until we're in that chapel together with you guys standing next to me. Yeah, that's cool. It's cool. Maybe going back, I would do that, but we did make the first look special.

It wasn't like we just walked in, okay, picture time. I mean, the photographer set it up and made it special like I was walking in, down the aisle. But yeah. Looking back? Looking back, I think maybe.

Looking back. That's what I thought to do you wish you. It would have been cold to wait and be in front of everybody at the same time. But it doesn't matter either way. Are you stressed about the wedding? I know you're ready for the marriage. Are you stressed about the wedding? Not.

Our pops, mom, they've all handled it very nicely. And staff. Where in the day does the wedding happen? Four in the afternoon. What time do we show up to play video games or whatever we're doing? That's been pushed back a little bit. So now it's one o'clock and you guys just come photo ready. to play basketball?

What happened to basketball? If there is any basketball, maybe it's just everybody shoots a half-court shot. We just, okay, so here's a deal. We thought we were doing Phil Day. And getting ready, you just, you just, apparently the showers aren't ready for a group of five guys, six guys to get all showers. That was your selling point. We'd all shower together. Yes, that's what you wanted.

Now Bobby's looking forward to it. Yeah, I broke it to my wife that I was showering with the dudes. So, I mean, we can shoot some ball, you know, do some hooping. Not in the suits, no way. But no sweating because there's no shower access. Okay, so now Phil Day is off. Yes. Unfortunately, trust me, I wanted it. I wanted it to be a go.

Can we throw the pigskin around? Absolutely. Not in our suits. No way. That's not smart. Well, then that's canceled as well. But yeah, it's going to be really quick. Most weddings maybe they've drug on. This one, I think, in and out in 45 minutes, once it actually, from start to finish. We get there at one.

What do we do till four? Three hours. So there's pictures. There's going to be a lot of shooting the bowl. You've scheduled time for shooting the bull? No, that's just sometimes how it is with the different photo shot Because the brides have to do it, the groomsmen That's what they told me

There was a schedule and it said groomsman 1 p.m., so there's your time. Okay, but what time did I need to put my god for the bullshit? It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie Tell me something good. Elijah Hale, he's a volunteer firefighter in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania And he's just driving down the road Normal day when he sees a house on fire.

And he's like, I'm not on duty. I don't have gear, no one, no backup. So he runs the house. He notices there's a 14-year-old girl stuck on the second floor. So he yells at her, say, hey, get something to break the window. She grabs a guitar, smashes the window. He runs around the house, finds a ladder, gets the girl out of there safely all by himself. And you know what?

He called 911. They show up, EMS, firefighters, all that. And then he just disappears. And they're like, no, no, no, no, no. We know you, Elijah. Come back. That's cool. And he gets back, and they're like, dude, you're a hero.

Thank you so much. Yeah, that's cool. Good for him. That's a good story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

It's my honor to bring on Leslie Rutledge, the Attorney General of Arkansas.

Hello, Miss Rutledge. Well, hello, Bobby Bones. How are you this morning? I'm really good. I so appreciate you coming on because some people will consider this trivial. I do not. And when I talk about this story, I have genuine interest in this guy's life. And so the story is for our listeners now in Arkansas, in Russellville, from near where I'm from. There's a 19-year-old girl named Olivia Stone. She married an 89-year-old resident. in the Senior Living Center, he has dementia. He can't remember names or dates.

She bragged on social media about their new relationship status. So we talked about it, and we said, well, what about his family? He has no immediate family. So when you want to know the law, you get the biggest law on the land on, and that's Attorney General Rutledge here. So you've heard this story. What do you think about the situation? Is there anything that people can do about it?

I'll tell you what, Bobby. This is, you know, if the facts are as they seem to be on social media and has been reported, I mean, it's very disturbing. We've been in contact with the governor's office. We've been contacted the Department of Human Services, adult protective services, because when you have someone in their late 80s, engaged, married to someone 19 years old, it is a very disturbing set of facts, and particularly if the individual in their late 80s is impaired. And that's what we look at when the law is to determine whether or not someone is endangered or impaired.

And that's what adult protective services looks at to determine whether or not. she has essentially taken advantage of this elderly gentleman, likely for financial gain. And that's what she kind of bragged about, was like, hey, look what I got here. We actually reached out to her. She responded to us. Oh. Is she coming on? No.

Oh. We hit her up on Instagram because I wanted to give her a fair shot, too. I don't think it's fair for me just coming on and saying, here's what I read and not give everyone a chance to come back. And she said, I appreciate the offer of it. I'm going to decline. I do not have to defend myself or my relationship. And you can tell him and everyone else that Lee has requested, I do not make a statement. I'm not going to exploit my husband nor enable anyone else to do so. Wow. So that's from her. So how does this make you feel, Ms. Routledge, like, is there something that you see in this that makes you go, we should look into

this little farther? Well, absolutely. Anytime you have someone who's potentially being taken advantage of and, you know, endangered, you know, particularly for financial reasons. This is someone who perhaps has worked his entire life, Lee has, and saved money. And now he's been living in residential care to where he met Olivia. And now he has found himself married to this young woman, which perhaps he might be happy. We don't know. Again, the facts will have to play themselves out. But what we don't want to happen is for people to be harmful and to hurt elderly folks.

Both my grandmothers lived to be 94. They both ended up living in residential care facilities. That's one of the things that we do at the Attorney General's office to protect those who live in residential care facilities. And my grandmother's received excellent care. And whether it's this gentleman Lee or others, they should all have respectful care and not have someone take advantage of them. That's how this young woman, again, based on the fact that we've seen,

met Lee, is because she worked in a facility where he was living. at the time and that's how she met him and was able to develop a relationship shall we think what if you go to Lee and you go hey Lee you're happy goes yeah man I'm happy this is awesome then do you just go you know what we did what we can do well that's where adult protective services through the department of human services comes into play and they determine whether or not

Lee was impaired particularly at the time and you know it may take a court order to determine that whether or not he was impaired at the time he made these decisions to marry this woman or to find something over to this woman if that has in fact happened. And so it would take, you know, adult protective services investigating these allegations and making an assessment to determine whether or not he's endangered or impaired. And then eventually a court making that decision because, you know, this young woman very well could have the best of intentions or she could have the worst of intentions, and that's going to take the protective services and the courts to make

that determination. And again, we have been made aware of it. We are working, governor's office, Department of Human Services, others, to not just protect Lee, but to protect all those who are in Lee's circumstances. I'm invested. I have a couple questions. By the way, Leslie Rutledge, the Attorney General of Arkansas is on with us. What do they refer to you as, when people meet you, are they like, hello, Miss Attorney General, or like, Your Honor or Your Majesty? How do people address you when they meet you? Well, I tell people to just call me Leslie, but there's all sorts of formal names. There's Attorney General.

There's General. There's A.G. But again, I say, just call me Leslie because that's my name. That's what I like to be called. I'm very laid back. I go out and visit people all the time. And so if I hear Leslie, I know exactly who they're talking to. Listen to this.

In 2018, she became the first constitutional officer in the state's history to give a birth while holding office. That's pretty amazing right there. So what was that like and how great or not great was the state to you whenever you had a baby while you're working? Oh, well, it was incredible. I'm 44, so I had my daughter when I was 42, and my husband I met later in life. I was up for re-election in 2018. I was chair of the Republican Attorney's General Association 2018.

And then I'm pregnant, and you know how hot it is in Arkansas in the summer. so I give birth in July, but the state was so encouraging, so welcoming. And when I had that little girl, Bobby, and I saw her face for the first time, I knew exactly how much God loves us. And it has just been the most rewarding experience, being a parent, and loving her and watching her grow and develop. It's been an awesome, awesome, awesome two-plus years. That's great.

Well, let me say, I really am thankful that you called. I think you're just a great person. And are you running for governor in two years? Is that true? It is true. So I announced in July that I was wearing for governor in 2022. We are going to make Arkansas first, whether it's first in education, first in job growth, first in manufacturing, first in tax reform, that I am tired of Arkansas being 47th, 48th, and too many categories. The only time I'm going to be happy with Arkansas being 47th is when I'm sworn in as the 47th governor of the state of Arkansas.

Hey, love that attitude. Come on. Nice. Wow. Love that out. Okay. Thank you for your time. I hope you have a wonderful day. And if anything changes with this, I'd love for you to come back on either way.

Well, you bet, Bobby. And thank you for raising it and taking, looking after folks, in particular, our seniors who are in residential care facilities. I sure appreciate it. Y'all have a great day. All right. Thanks, General. Bye, Leslie.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. AG. Yeah, yeah. And before you hang up, I'm going to beat you if I run. Oh, you already lost her? Oh, you already hung up on. You waited. No, no, no.

No, I thought she was still on. I like the way you talk trash. No, I thought she was still on the phone. Yeah. No, that's cool. I'm glad. For someone to come on this show with such a serious position, you got to go. That's pretty cool of them.

Yeah. Let's go over and do the big story of the day. Bobby's Big. Story. Luke Parker was on The Bachelorette. I mean a couple seasons ago, I guess. Lunchbox, do you know who Luke Parker is? I'm Googling right now.

So E says that he has to pay $100,000. $1,000 because he said some stuff too early, and now they're saying, okay, you broke your contract. Spoilers. Oh, yeah, I know he is. You do? Wow. What do you know him from, Amy? The Bachelorette.

Yeah, just seeing him on TV. I know who he is. The reality star violated the contract by speaking out without prior approval. According to E.T, the agreement was to be upheld from the moment the contract was signed until one year after the final episode, the outlet reported that Luke further breached the contract by speaking negatively about the show. So they're sooner for $100,000. He's got to pay $100,000.

He was on Hannah Brown's season. Oh yeah. This is one of the most unforgettable moments on the show was when he got into a disagreement with Hannah Brown about doing it before marriage. Meanwhile, a new season, The Bachelor, it just kicked off. Anybody watch the new season? Yeah.

How was it? That's all right. It's about to get crazy, though, because I kind of know what happens. Yeah, she leaves the show. Well, okay, yes. That's known, though. I know, but how crazy is that that they started the season and they had to stop filming because of Corona

and she kept talking to one of the dudes that she originally met, and so they were like, uh, we got to find a new girl. And it's known there's a new girl takes over in the middle. Even if the new girl is. They've made some press for it already. Who told you that? Luke?

No. Luke, this dude? Luke Parker. He was on the show last week. Who told? Does that just get out? I think they announced it. They did announce it.

They announced to the other girl list too. They had to go find new dudes and everything. So even like Granger Smith's brother? I think he's still in, huh? Does he stay in? Yeah. I think what happens is they had original guys that were with this girl, Claire, and then she met this dude, and when they started to refilmed, they had to bring new dudes in,

and they brought that guy back, and she was like, I still like this guy. I'm like, uh-oh, bring this other girl in. You guys, you thought you were coming here for Claire, but you got this girl now. I mean, it's going to be crazy. Woo! Like when they say the most dramatic rose ceremony ever. It is. Finally, because she just leaves.

All right, that's your big story. Thank you. Bobby's story. In a second, we're going to do Spill the Tea where someone on the show is going to rat on somebody else. This has in someone's personal life. Oh, great. Like someone on the show has come on and is going to tell on someone

for something they're doing that they haven't talked about on the show. Not only that, we have a caller that wants to talk about it too, who knows? Oh. Which is weird. Hey, Ray, turn Aaron and Virginia up. West Virginia up real quick. Hey, Aaron, I don't want you to say what it is quite yet, but you're calling for the exact segment that we're about to do.

So can you hang on for a few minutes? Yeah, I figured Eddie would bring it up. Oh, hey. That's my stuff. That's my stuff, man. Okay. He may have a different one, though, right? No.

It's the same. Oh, boy. Yeah, Eddie's the rat. We'll be honest. Dang it. Aaron, stay on the phone, okay? We want you to talk about this, too. Okay.

Call us if you want, 877-77 Bobby. 877-77 Bobby on four things with Amy Brown today. Singer-songwriter Matthew West is on. Amy and Matthew chat about family. His song, Truth Be Told, and he breaks down the four things that he's grateful for. So check that podcast out, Four Things with Amy Brown. Super. He's so inspiring. Let's spill the tea.

Let's spill the tea. Hey, Aaron and West Virginia, go ahead and tell everybody what you called about. Well, I was listening to the Thor losers podcast yesterday. And they were talking about voting, having your licenses and stuff. and Eddie was just asking lunchbox about his driver's license, but lunchbox accidentally told on himself about still having his Texas plate from eight years ago on his car. Which is what Eddie messaged me about last night.

That's it. Eight years, dude. You know, usually people slip about a year. But we moved here eight years ago, and he still has his same plates, which you can't register in a new state. So that means he's been riding dirty for eight years. Well, riding dirty means carrying drugs.

Whatever. Illegally. Okay. So how expired are your plates and tags? Well, yeah, my inspection and registration on my window are from 2013. And no one's pulled you over? I did get pulled over one time about a year and a half ago. And I told the dude, oh, yeah, man, car hadn't been running just, you know, working out the things,

putting the catalytic converter in there, you know. And he's like, yeah, yeah. I was just making up terms, Amy. And he gave me a ticket anyway. So I had to pay the ticket. and I still got my... Do you have any intention to... No, it's part of not letting go where I came from.

What? Your roots? You know what I mean? I don't want to change. I don't want people to think I'm something different just because I'm a huge celebrity now. I know where I came from. I'd like to give our address to the radio fiction to the cops can come on up here and ticket his car and then wait for him outside. Andrew, or excuse me, Aaron, what should happen on lunchbox here? Can you vote? Yeah, I have a driver's license here. I just don't have my car set up here.

Aaron, what would you say happens? Sure, the wall might take care of that for you. Yeah, yeah. We'll leave here today probably around noon. What's wrong with you guys? No, what's... Be looking for an ultram. 05 Ultima.

05, ultima. 404,000 miles. Yeah, all right. Aaron, thank you for that call. Appreciate it. Thank you. All right, see you later. Let's go to James in Florida, who is on the phone.

Hey, James, welcome to the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Hey, good morning, Bobby and Drew. How are you doing? We're doing pretty good. What can I do for you? I was listening to your segment earlier, y'all, we're talking about the weddings that's going on. And Amy made a comment that her wedding, I guess from the time she met her husband, the time they got married was very short.

And I just wanted to make a statement or a comment that when I had my wife, we were married in six weeks. How quickly were you married? Well, he proposed in October and got married in December. We had eight weeks to plan the wedding. So about the same as this guy. Yeah. But I mean, we had been dating a little bit. Both of you two.

I don't know. Is that you proposed six weeks or you met her six weeks before you all got married? We're married on the fourth of July. So you met in May. Wow. You got married in July. Did you feel like you knew her or you just thought this was a good investment and you needed to get in early? No, I knew her.

You? I knew her real well. You knew her real well. Now Amy's questioning him. Amy was on the same team of them for a while. She's like, yeah, you know, sometimes you find love. Well, like, Amy, you knew your husband for a while. Yeah, I had known him since I was a kid.

Come on. You'd been out of contact for 20 years. Bobby, you were so exaggerating right now. I knew him we were eight. I did. I was friends with his family. Our parents were friends. My sister is married to his best friend.

We, no, 20 years, that's a stretch. I probably hadn't seen him since he joined Air Force and was overseas for about five years. But that's 20 years as a stretch. Okay. Okay. But I mean, yeah, that's, I feel like everybody has different stories. Some people get married in four weeks and they stay married 50 years.

Some people get married in four weeks and divorce the next day. I bet you if you looked at the ratios, though. Those that jumped in probably didn't have as good of a rate. But good for you, James. It's awesome, man. How long you've been married now? 34 years. Look at that.

Wow. Shout out. It's awesome, man. Congratulations on that. Well, I appreciate that call. James, have a great day. Hey, you too. Thank you. Bye. All right. Here's Denise from Iowa that left the voicemail last night. Morning studio. I was just calling to find out.

Hey, Bobby, what's way better? Getting engaged or the hole in one. So yesterday, Eddie and I played golf, and we were on a par three, and I've never had a one in my life before. You got a hole in one? And so I hit. What? And we saw it tracking right at the hole. The ball was going right to the hole. And we're like, oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

And it landed and then rolled off about two feet. Two or three feet to the left. And I was like, oh, I almost went in. And so I said, record this one. So then you're never going to believe this. I get up again a second time, hit it. Boom. Eddie, same line, right?

Same line. Identical. We're recording it. And how often do you record it? And it lands, boom, and rolls about three feet, four feet to the left again. But we faked it. We started jumping around like, yeah. We're like, this time we're going to fake it.

And for a second, though, I was like, oh my gosh, what that goes in. Luckily for me had two great shots. However, it wasn't real. No. Oh. We were faking it anyway. Hey, hey, thank. I didn't know you were going to say it was real or not.

Good job, because really, there's no proof. There's no proof. Yeah, we didn't even say a hole in one. We just started jumping around going, jackpot! That's true. It's on my TikTok. My TikTok's Mr. Bobby Bones. I guess it's on my Instagram story, too, Mr. Bobby Bones.

But, yeah, there really wasn't a hole in one. I mean, people would send me a message. Like, Scotty McCurry hit me last night. He did. Yeah. Because he's a golfer. And I don't think I lied to anybody, but sometimes I'll strategically use my words. So that it's not a lie.

Yeah, technically. Let me see what I said to Scotty. So Scotty hit me last night. He goes, you really make it? I said, land it a few feet away, premature. Premature celebration. We jumped up and down for two seconds. Yeah, check it out.

Mr. Bobby Bones. Let's go to voicemail number two. Here you go. Hey, Bobby. Me and my daughter are big, big, big. fans of your show. She's nine and she just had a trip to the eye doctor and that out her left eye. She's got a lazy left eye and she also is really bad far-sighted and so she's going to have to wear glasses all the time and she's kind of bummed out and really upset but I told her that

Bobby Bones, what of her favorite guys, wears glasses and to give her a shout out to make it feel better. That would be great. Her name's Emma. Not only do I wear glasses Emma, I have a lazy left eye too. It doesn't work. It gets 8% vision. Now I'm lucky. that it's not lazy and that it moves. It's right on line with my other eye. Because I know some folks who weren't that lucky and their eye works a little differently. But didn't you have to wear a patch to straighten that up to?

As a young kid, I wore a patch for a bit, but I kept getting beat up because kids called me a pirate. And so they beat me up on the school bus. And so finally I was like, I'm out of here. I'm not doing it. Because when you're young, they can patch your good eye and make your bad eye work. But now that I'm older, it is what it is.

So I love my glasses. I wish that I didn't have to wear them. At least I did for a long time. But now glasses are cool because most people try to find fake glasses because they're like, man, I wonder what I look like in glasses. And if you want, I've just now got one contact for my good eye, my right eye. Sometimes I wear it. But most times I'm like, you know what? I kind of like wearing glasses.

So Emma, good for you. I'm pumped. You get to wear glasses. You know all the styles you get to wear? For me, I don't have that pretty of a face. so I have glasses to kind of protect that. You can do the opposite. Emma, it'll be awesome.

You're going to love the glasses. I love my glasses. All right, do I have one more. Let me do number four, voicemail number four. Cody from New Mexico. Hey, good morning, studio. Can Bobby and Eddie bring back Bobby and Eddie's music school?

That's just a question. If you go to the latest Bobbycast, there is one. Eddie and I do one on that. The Bobbycast is a podcast that we do music-related. Also on tomorrow's, Lee Greenwood is on.

You know, God Bless the USA? And we talk about that. I was like, hey, that song's been massive for 40 years. This is me talking to Lee Greenwood about how it was never supposed to even be a single. Here you go. When I wrote God Bless USA, it was for our fourth album project. You've got a good love coming. But Universal made the call to have God Bless USA be released as a single.

It was never intended to do that. However, after its release in 83 and 84, it was embraced by the public. It was embraced as a career song for me, but not for quite a few years. Listen to that conversation because as I was talking to him, I was like, this is the craziest story. The song, we love it, we know it. It's an anthem for us. It's like the Junior Varsity National Anthem. Yeah.

You heard it by himself on the back of a bus. Didn't even finish it. Never expected it to be a single. End up winning CMA song of the year. And you know he had eight number ones in the 80s? Really? Eight. I thought he'd had that song.

That's a lot. Wow. He is eight number ones. Listen, League Green One on tomorrow's Bobbycast. Thank you, guys. Tomorrow, Jason Adian, will be on the show.

When you get a haircut, do you like your barber stylist to be chatty or no? It depends on the day, and mine goes with the flow. I bring it up because I have the perfect stylist.

She knows I'm not big on talking. After I leave this show, I only got a lot to say. And we can sit there and quiet, and I think she enjoys the quiet. it too. Because think about how hard it is to have to be a barber or a stylist and to always have to bring up conversation. You're just trying to avoid the awkwardness.

And she nails it when it's time but I sit down and I'm like, you good? Because I've been going to for five, six years now, maybe longer than that. And it's just perfect and I'm thinking about that because I just got a haircut. And I was like, I wonder if they like it chatty or not. Because I like nothing. I like to sit there and just

listen to the sounds of the room. So I'm going zero. percent talk. You? I would say, yeah, go with the flow. Feel them out. It's okay if you want to talk a little bit, but if you're not getting the conversation back, yeah, give them a break. I normally use that time to work and I have my computer out, but sometimes I'll shut it and we'll talk. Well, and two, they have their go-toes. Hey, you've seen a movie lately? Yeah. Totally, yes. Hey, what's you watching on TV? They say it's part of their job. I agree, and it's an annoying part of their job they have to do. I'm not saying I'm annoyed by it. Or they got into that because they're

really good people person. But that's okay, but you don't always want to do that. Even the most people, a people person, I don't have to talk to every single person that comes in. Yeah. And now I'm no joy to talk to. Because I'm just like, I woke up at 3 this morning. I've got to go to bed at 8 tonight. A little off the side.

You know? Yeah. Chad, you don't know, Eddie. Come on, man. You know me. 100%. I mean, my boy, Ash, we talk about everything. He just got his real estate license.

He's about to start selling houses while cutting here, too. We talk all the time about everything. I bet you it's a bit like a bartender. Yeah. Has to listen to problems. Like really gets a lot more than they should. I know. That job probably deserves.

I wonder sometimes if there's, you know, client haircut or privileges. There is not. They can't. I'm sure they get told a lot of stuff. Lunchbox? I mean, I don't want to talk. And it's just I don't go to the same person every time.

So it's the same conversation every time. Oh, so what do you do? Do you have a family? Oh, you watch anything on TV? Cool. Next person. Next person I go. So you got a family.

What do you do for the... What do you do when someone says that? I just tell him I'm in the public eye. That's your response. Wait, so if I'm cutting your hair and I'm... Hey, man. You got real mange up here. But hey, what do you do for a living?

You know, I'm in the public eye, you know. I mean, I mean, I mean, they have to follow up. And they're like, well, what do you mean? I'm like, well, you know, I mean, I'm just on the biggest country radio show. in the nation. Oh, really? Yeah, we're on like 150 stations around the country and Canada

and we're called the Bobby Bone Show. Oh, cool, I have to give it a listen. Yeah, man, you know, I'm lunchboxed on the show, big deal. If you ever have to tell anyone you're a big deal, after he said, cool, man, I'll listen. Obviously, you've never heard of it or listen to it. Yeah, so that's what I tell him.

It's just like, all right, cool. Larry in Louisiana, you're on the show. What's going on? What's going on, buddy? You are on the air. All right, cool, man I just called in reference to that guy with a license plate

I got a phone call from my company one day that it said, talking trucks your license is suspended turns out I owed DMD $3,500 for not turning in my license plate

Lunchbox, are you going to get in trouble? Well, you've had your license for five years, you're over eight years. Yeah, I mean, I don't think I'm going to get in trouble I don't know that was illegal to do that. I mean, I know it's a little bit of it. I know it's a little bit of it.

not to renew it like you get fine because I did get a ticket, but I don't think I'm going to owe $3,000. Can we get the Attorney General of Tennessee on? For everything now, we find an attorney general. Everything. First, it was Gucci's $1,200 grass-stained jeans. Remember those?

Yeah. Yeah. Now it's Ralph Lorenz selling a pair of paint splattered coveralls for $800. Here's how they described on the website. Made from Japanese cotton satin with the reverse side facing out utility pockets,

all over paint splatters. Wouldn't it be cheaper to go to Walmart and just get paint? Exactly. Yes. Right. Oh, this is ridiculous. I wonder what the fat... I'm going to wonder what's made of, though.

Japanese silk or something. And we wouldn't know the difference. Exactly. You could give me a Haynes T-shirt, cut the tag off and say, this is Japanese silk, and I'd be like, ooh. Yeah. I've never felt this before.

This is amazing. Call us, if you want, 877-77 Bobby. Nick, you're on the Bobby Bone show. Nick, how are you, my friend, in Knoxville, Tennessee? Nick, you're on. Hey, so I was just needing some advice if you guys have time. Sure. So my ex-girlfriend now, I just broke up with her, like, last weekend.

But for her birthday, I bought us Chris Stapleton and George Strait tickets for next August. Okay. So I just need an unbiased opinion. And her friends say that, you know, lack of a better term, I'm a guy for taking those tickets. And my friends are like, no, dude, you did the right thing. So you bought her tickets to see Stapleton and George Strait. They weren't playing together, right? They were separate shows.

No, they're playing together. They were like $600. Holy crap. Wow, I want to go. They're playing together. I want them. Yeah. Take us.

Yeah. Okay. So you bought them tickets to see Stapleton? and George Strait, and you took them back from her and she thinks she should have kept them, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's what it was. You're going to hate to hear this, but you give somebody a gift,

it's their gift. The end. But it wasn't it for you guys? But if he got him for her birthday. Listen, Nick, I hate to be the bearer bad news, and sometimes as a judge, you have to give decisions based on the opposite of what your heart feels. You gave it a gift. I don't care if the gift was

a paper airplane or $600 tickets to a awesome concert. Question. If you propose to someone and they say yes and then you break off the engagement and break up, does she give the ring back? Yeah. But that was a gift.

Well, I guess it depends on who cheated. Nobody said anybody. Oh, for sure. Let's be honest. Somebody cheated. Okay. You already assumed. So what?

I would say that's not as much, it's a gift sum, but it's also a binding. It's like a contractual statement. Right. It's a unity. It's both. of you together. I say that's different than concert tickets. Just curious.

So I think that is situational based on what happened with the engagement. Let's say I mean you can engage and I cheat on you and you have a nice fancy ring. You don't give that crap back to me. I just screwed you over. However, we get together, we break up for mutual reasons. You probably give it back. Yeah. Why would I want to keep it?

And if you cheated on me, let's say you cheated on me with Eddie. First of all, I'd be like, what are you doing with Eddie? Wow. That would make sense. That would make sense. I would be like, give me the ring back. Okay. Got it.

However, Nick, I hate to tell you this, bro. But that's a gift. And you just should just suck it up, be like, I messed up. I learned a lesson from this and move on. So what do you think about it? Oh, I already took them back. Okay. Yeah, that's great.

You made the right decision. There's no chance you give her those tickets. You take it back and run. Oh, okay. I'm just telling you I wouldn't have taken them back. I think you were wrong for taking a back. But now that you got it, might as well go. All right, Nick, how you feel about that?

More. What? I also bought two more for my best friend and his wife for their anniversary. What job do you have where you can afford these tickets? He's loaded. We're burying the headline here. How are you so rich? What are you doing, Nick?

Well, I was in the Marine Corps, and I got medically discharged, and so I get a pretty good pension from that. But I'm also a truck driver. Nice. Well, first of all, appreciate your servant. Second of all, hey, I could use some tickets. You're passing them out like candy. This is the end of my advice here. she should have the tickets. You gave them to her as a gift. If you've already taken her back, listen, you may not want to be around her anymore. You just keep them at this point. But if someone, if it's a gift, it's a gift. So, uh, all right, Nick, appreciate that, buddy. I say you are in the wrong.

All right, bye. One more call. Laura in Oklahoma City, you are on the Bobby Bone Show. Laura, what's going on? Hi. Um, I cut hair downtown Oklahoma City. And it is, I was taught, or I was listening to you guys and you're saying, you know, hairstiles have the, you have the, you know, hairstiles have the, the hardest job because they have to talk all day. Well, it's a lot like you guys. When I get in my car, I'm like, I just need it nice and quiet. I've been making small talk. I've asked, you know, 20 or 30 people today what their plans for the weekend are. Because I, at the beginning of the week, I have like five questions that I ask.

And at the end of the week, I have another five. What is your go-to? If you were to go in today to work, what would be your go-to questions? I'm actually walking in to work. I'm out of breath a little bit. So my go-to is Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, it was, hey, what did you do last weekend? How was your weekend? And then like Wednesday afternoon after lunch, the Thursday, Friday, it's what's got playing for the week?

At noon it flips. That's funny. It changes. Yeah. But I will say it's definitely one of those things that if somebody tells me something, you can't tell the next person what the last person said. Do you go home though and tell your husband?

Oh, yeah. You do, okay, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I feel like even, don't doctors, like they don't use names, but maybe you don't use names even with hair cutting if you go home and tell your family. You just say I had a client.

You're acting like hair cutting like there's some oath you take. Yeah, they can. No, you can share it. If I'm volunteering it, you might as well share it. With a doctor, it's different because you're talking about medical hope. Well, there's HIPAA and all the things. But I still feel like, if they don't say the name, they could go home and say,

I had this case today that da-da-da-da-da. And if you're opening up that much to your hairdresser, you've got issues. Like, just telling him every day, I murder someone. Have you ever been put in an uncomfortable position where has someone ever cried? Someone's like, I killed a man, he's buried behind the golden corral. You're the only one that knows. Like, that's not right.

I have nobody else to talk to. All right. Laura, thank you for the call. We appreciate you. Hope you have a good day today in Oklahoma City. Thank you. All right. See you later. Okay. Call us if you want. 877-77 Bobby. Appreciate you guys. Here's a voicemail we got late last night. What is up, Bobby? I am like your biggest fan. Can I have one thing? I ask one thing. I'm like Ray Mundo's biggest fan as well. Can I get a...

I want like the biggest, yeah, I can get out of room window. Go ahead. Thank you. Jay! Oh, wow, wow, wow. I think he pulled something. You okay, Ray? Which muscle was injured there?

Oh, that was bad, man. That was a little too early. All right, here is Jerry that called last night. Hi, Bobby and Gaines. Just called to say hi, and I listen to you every morning. I am a dialysis patient, so I go three days a week. I've been dealing with kidney disease for the last three and a half years. So you guys brought me so much joy.

listening to you every morning. Thank you, Bobby. I appreciate that. Good luck with your fight, too. And we're very thankful that you'll hang out with us in the morning and we can bring you a little something to laugh at or to care about. All right, that's it for today. Amy, what's going on with you? Just picking the kids. Stevenson's day, they're on fall break, but I got to go pick him up from the school because he went to a little day camp there. So I'll leave here and go get him. And then, I don't know, figure out what we'll do for the rest of the day. Maybe practice basketball, I think he wants to do. What about you? I got to stock the bus

We're taking the tour bus To Batesville, Arkansas Because we're shooting there this weekend And so we're gonna go to Batesville And it's seven hours So no need to fly When I can just take the bus I don't want to fly

If I don't have to fly, I don't want to fly And also it's not that bad Bus is pretty okay Daytime trips stink though Because you're just awake the whole time Most tour buses When you're as an artist We leave at like 11 o'clock p.m.

And you go right on and you go to sleep So then six, seven hours go by And you wake up and you've pretty much got into your place. But when you're just awake the whole time, it stinks a little bit. Yeah. But it'll be all right.

But I've got to get the tour bus stock going. Probably get a little run in today. I'm pretty sore, though. Tomorrow on the show, Jason Aldine will be on. He'll be in studio. We'll see you guys then. Bye, guys. Bobby Bones.
