Welcome to Wednesday's show in about 10, 15 minutes. We'll talk to Josh Turner, where we normally do the mailbag. So let's start the show now and open up the mailbag early. Let's go. and email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I lost my 12-year-old dog after she passed away a few weeks ago, and I am still struggling. She was my first dog. She went through so much with me, college, moving, getting married, having three babies. I'm a busy nurse practitioner at a nursing

facility slash assisted living place, and I'm a mom to three kids. I'm always working and giving to everyone else. Now I feel like. like my security blanket is gone. I want to get another dog. I don't want to feel like I'm replacing her. Should I get a new dog now or should I wait a few years? Sincerely heartbroken dog mama. I think this is something that Amy, you and I have both been through pretty recently. Puppies are hard though. If you have three kids. Oh yeah. Adding that to the mix. And you forget sometimes. If this dog was 12 years old, you forget just how hard the puppy phase is. Just gone through it twice. Again, puppies are so hard. They're so cute.

but it's so hard. So let me start by saying that, that sometimes you can forget just how difficult a small dog is. They take a lot of time, a lot of attention. Also, it seems pretty quick, but, you know, I think you're the only one that knows if you're ready for a new dog or not.

For me, I waited a year and a half or two years until one just kind of was at the right place for me to have until Stanley kind of existed. Yeah, I feel like if you open yourself up for the opportunity for the right dog, then the timing will work out for you. At least that's what we had to do. We were open to getting a new dog.

And then when the time came and we got a call that, you know, there was a dog available like someone we work with, rescued a dog. And I was like, well, we'll foster it. So we fostered the dog for about a week or so. And then we decided to keep it. But that way we weren't like totally committed, committed. And then, you know, she kind of went from getting a dog now

or waiting a few years. And you don't have to put that. Don't put a timeline on it. Don't do it right now if you're not ready, but maybe in a few months you will be. I would just say leave yourself open. Yeah. And it will present itself. It sucks when you lose your dog.

So hard. But this is multi-tiered because you also have three kids and you're going to get a puppy. That puppy is going to be really hard to raise a puppy right now, especially a full-time job. So that stinks about your dog. Be open to the possibility of a dog presenting itself to you. And when it does, scoop it up and run. Yeah. That's what we did.

That's what you did. I mean, that's what you need to properly grieve. Don't rush into it. But yes, be open. And you're not replacing the dog. You're not replacing the dog. Never. Never. In fact, your new dog will not be the level of your other dog.

It just won't. It took my dog, Kara. It took me personally over a year and a half to really bond with her. And I, because I was obsessed with my other dog, Josie. And I was like, yep, you'll never be at that level. And guess what? Now she's at that level. It just takes time.

Same. I remember when Stanley was 10 months old and was with Caitlin. And I was like, I don't know. if I'll ever love this dog. And she will say that to me now because I love that bulldog, like nothing else. She's like, remember when you said you didn't know if you'd love Stanley? And I was like, yeah. She goes, look, you do.

You know, and that often comes into it. And I'm like, I don't know if I have kids, because I didn't have anybody loving me. And I'm like, if I have a kid, I'm like, how do I know I'm going to love it? Because I know no one ever love me. You're going to love it. And she's like, do you not see how you love your dog? So good luck with that. Don't press it.

Don't run and get a dog right now, but be open to the possibility. that one may present itself to you. And get an older dog, too, if that's the case. One that you don't have to puppy so much. Maybe not too old, and then you're going to be grieving real quick. All right, there you go. There's the mailbag. If you want to email us, Morgan, what do they do?

Mailbag at bobbybones.com. We've got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailpack. Yeah. On the Bobby Bones show now. Josh Turner. Josh, what's up, man? Celebrating Christmas early.

Yeah, I see the lit up. Christmas tree and the wreath behind you. I was looking at your Instagram though and you've been talking about this Christmas record since last August. So I feel like you've been in the Christmas spirit basically all summer until now. It's actually gone even further back than that. I've started talking about making this record back in January. Prior to that, I had been writing for over a year in preparation for this record. I did the photo shoot for this record in April when it was in the mid-80s and pouring down rain. So it was a challenge to kind of get in the Christmas spirit. some of those times. You're going to have to walk me through this song, but it's the

Millie Kaliki Makka, My Ohana. How do you say that song? Because I know it, but how do you say it? That was it. Mela Kalikilikimaka Maoana. Meli Kliqa Likki Maka. Which means Merry Christmas to the family. All right, here's a clip of that song. This says Mela Kaliki Maka, my Ohana. The guy, Jake, Eddie, you met this, the guy that plays the, was it, you could. Yeah, it's a ukulele, Jake Shimabuk. How in the world did you get him on the song?

I've always admired his talent. I mean, it's kind of hard not to when you hear him play and see him play. But I had recorded this song. I had gotten my friends Ho-O-Kana to come in and sing on it. And my producer, Kenny Greenberg, said, you know, he said, what do you think about having Jake Schema Bikuro play on this song? I said, man, that would be awesome. He said, well, his manager is a good friend of mine.

He lives down the street from him. I said, well, hey, if you can make it happen. Let's do it. I think it would be perfect. So it was a great fit. Josh, it's been 15 years since the release of your massive song, Your Man. Tell me what that was like whenever you recorded it. Well, I had come out of the shoot with my first hit Long Black Train, which obviously is this old-fashioned, old-timey kind of gospel, you know, traditional gospel kind of song.

And it had really kind of opened the country's music door for me. but, and it became my signature song, but a lot of people had already tried to pigeonhole me as that one type of artist. And so me and my team, we were really adamant about coming with something very different from Long Black Train. And when we had come across Your Man,

we felt like it was a great choice to accomplish that. And it really fit my voice well, and we loved what it said. So we put it out as the first single off of that Your Man record, my sophomore record, and it became my first number one. And that whole record ended up going on to sell two million units. And after that record had come and gone, I thought that was the end of it. And then the next thing you know, Scottie McCreery was singing it on American Idol

and kind of gave it a rebirth. But even before that, I had gone and done the CMT Cross Country Show with Randy Travis. And when that show took off, CMT started playing it over and over and over again. And so that the sales skyrocketed, the exposure of that song skyrocketed. And, you know, it's just kind of an interest, Stapleton kind of becomes the hit artist that he is. And people found out that he wrote it. And it was just like this, you know, snowball effect. And people, like you say, people still to this day, they love it.

Have you in Stapleton ever performed it together? Scotty and I have, but not me and Chris. I've never really thought about that. You and Scotty singing together. I just feel like that would be a competition on who can get. get lower. It's like the limbo, but with your voice, it's like, how low can you go? Chris and I have written together before, and it was very challenging because he's way up here and I'm way down here and trying to find a key that he and I both can sing in is kind of a challenge.

You have four boys. I'm going from memory here. You have four boys, am I right? Yeah, yeah. What is Christmas like at your house with five males and your wife? It's a lot of energy, a lot of testosterone. I just try to make sure they don't break anything. So that's, if we can get through Christmas without breaking too much stuff. I mean, you should have seen us that we've already put our Christmas tree up and putting the ornaments on the tree. I mean, it was like a demolition derby. It was like, just see it.

I mean, like, we had so much like broken ornament glass all over the floor. It was, it was just a hazardous area. It was kind of crazy. do any of your boys have your voice not yet but i went through did you have your voice so i mean they're still hope oh you had a voice changed twice in your life is that what you're saying my oldest is 15 and his voice is starting to change a little bit so uh he's probably going to get there pretty soon i just imagine them being born with beards like that's what i imagine like you're one of almost was yeah josh turner is on with us

He's got a Christmas album that I hope you guys check out. We were talking about that a little earlier, but I also want to take a second and talk about Macy's Wish List Wednesday, which is one of the reasons that Josh is on with us. And now's the perfect time to get gifts. Macy's has toys and games for the whole family or the perfect gift for that one person in your life who is still young at heart. All right, there's a whole list here.

And on the list, I did see Hot Wheels, and you do have four boys. Are they into Hot Wheels at all, Josh? Oh, yeah. They love Hot Wheels. They love all the monster trucks, you know, all that kind of stuff. you know, little rice tracks and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, that's definitely a, you know, a good item for them. And now Toys R Us is at Macy's, so it's games galore.

And so check out Macy's.com slash wishlist to build your own wish list for all your gifting needs. Or you can make your own wish list. Go to Macy's.com slash believe. You can write a letter to Santa because this week for every letter submitted to Santa online, Macy's will double their donation to the Make a Wish Foundation, donating $2 for every letter up to a million bucks. So that's in addition to the $1 million they've already committed.

Well, it sounds like the Turner Christmas is awesome and just filled with love. And that's really cool. The record is amazing. If you're looking for a Christmas record, it is called King Size Manger. And it's got classics. It's got originals. And it is Josh's first Christmas album, which, why did it take you so long, Josh? You know, I've just really been focused on trying to establish myself as an artist and just trying to have hits sell records.

you know, just build my fan base. Making a Christmas record has always been on my list of things to do. But, you know, after I had made my first gospel record back in 2018, and we saw how much success we had with that, we decided to do a couple more passion projects. So I did the country state of mind record that came out last year with all the classic country songs on it. And then, you know, the next natural step was to do a Christmas record.

And I have plenty of time to work on it. So I did, and I'm very proud of this record. You're all over the place doing the holiday and the hits tour schedule, and I was looking at some of the dates in a lot of the cities that the show is in Vegas. You're in Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Michigan, Tennessee, just kind of looking down the list. But you're playing Christmas songs here. Do you still play your man?

Yes. Oh, yeah. I play, you know, most all of my hits during the show, and a good handful from the King's Size Manger record. My family's joining me on this tour. And we've, you know, we've played four shows so far. And we're having a blast. Because if I go to a Christmas show for Josh Turner,

and I want to hear the Christmas songs, but if you don't play, why don't we just dance or hometown girl? I'm like, give my money back, Josh, it sucks. Oh, you know I wouldn't let you down. I got to play those. I appreciate that. All right, you guys follow them at Josh Turner music. Check out King Size Manger.

It's the Christmas album now that's out. and then Macy's wishless Wednesday. You guys go to Macy's.com slash believe. Write a letter to Santa. Also help out a good cause. Josh, Merry Christmas, buddy. Talk to you soon. Merry Christmas.

Hey, Bobby. How are you? Doing really good. Thank you for calling. What's going on? Of course. Well, I was so honored that my friend shared a little bit of my story with y'all. when my son was four months, he was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called biliary atresia.

And unfortunately, the option for us, his liver was in cirrhosis condition. And he went from being this typical bubbly, happy little four-month-old tater tot to having a liver that was dying, basically. And he was just a step away from liver failure. So our option was to go through a liver transplant. And when you go through the transplant world, you have two options. One is a deceased donor, which is why it's so important to be an organ donor and pass on that gift of life. Or the second one is to be a liver donor. So when my little guy, Brody, was five months and five days, I matched and was able to be his liver of liver giver and donate him a portion of my liver.

And I'm happy to say that he's six years old now and he's built like a little linebacker and he's filled with life. And we're just so excited about where he is right now because of the gift of organ donation. And through that, you know, when you ever you go through a life challenge, you're surrounded, you lean on your network. And we have this awesome tribe of people that really lifted us up and carried us through. And because of that, me and my husband were just so touched. We founded a nonprofit organization called Brody's Goodbibib tribe, which is also BGVT. and we now sponsor families who are going through transplant, whether it's heart, liver, lung, pancreatic, whatever it may be.

We lift them up and, you know, have just found a way to pay it forward. And as we call it, be the good. So, Defer's story. That's an amazing story. Sorry you had to go through that, you know, at the beginning of that story with your son. But you've learned so much. And now you're able to teach others about, one, the value of organ donation, which I think is the main takeaway here.

and then two, you called yourself a sliver liver giver. I know. That stuck with me too. I thought that was a great term. Sliver of liver giver. I mean, there's lots of us out there, Bobby. I have to tell you, there's sliver of liver givers all around us, and you don't even know. These people who are selfless and amazing, and I always say the liver is a superpower organ.

Well, Tracy. It regenerates. Like a lot of people don't know that four to five weeks after you donate your liver. It grows right back. Well, thank you for sharing that. Well, you say your group again, what was it called? Sure. So my son's name is Brody.

So we named our nonprofit. It's called Brody's Good Vibe Tribe. And people can just search that? Yeah, it's Brody, B-R-O-D-I-E, Brody's Good Vibe Tribe. And we're on Instagram and Facebook, and we continue to share the powerful stories of organ donation and how people are fighting through and looking for a match. and then we also fundraise for those people to support them and just continue to pay it forward.

Be the goodbye tribe. Awesome. Thank you, Tracy. Thank you for sharing that story with us. Thank you so much, Bobby, and it's bGVT.org. So thank you so much. And be a donor, be a donor, help those and pass the gift of life forward.

There you go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. On the phone, Barbie in Oklahoma. Barbie, how are you? I'm great. Morning studio. Morning.

My grandmother says my mom was just in a bad mood and just picked a name, and that's what I got stuck with. Well, you always love getting named while someone's in a bad mood, huh? Oh, yeah. I've been ready to killed my whole life. Do you ever think about changing it to Barb?

No, because I don't like the people that are Barbara that go by Barbra. Barbie that irritates me. So it's an integrity thing. Because I get, well, I get asked that all the time.

Who wants to be a hundredaire? We wish it was more money, but I have to spend my own on this game. Barbie, are you ready to play? Who wants to be 100 air? I am. Bring it on. So Morgan will answer the questions as she was chosen before we came to this segment. Morgan, you'll answer them.

You know, I think I've always called it Tug-a-war. Like an idiot? Yeah, with like a-tug-war. Tug-a-war. But that is correct. It's tug-of-war. It's true because I'm lazy. I can't give it the v.

All right, we're now to the $10 question. Now don't forget, you can go to Lifelines. Okay. You have the room you can ask. You have a 50-50 coin flip, this coin right here. Or you have a paper watch shot. Okay.

Your $10 question. Lance Armstrong won his six. Sixth consecutive what in 2004? Oh, gosh. It's not a marathon. I think it's higher than, well, he's the bike rider. Was it a marathon? Eddie, lunchbox, you guys know sports?

Lance Armstrong won his sixth consecutive what in 2004. What is that called? I think I'm going to go with a lifeline of somebody in studio because I'm not sure the exact name. Okay, who are you going with? Well, if he gets it wrong, then I think I take it away. a sports genius title. So lunchbox. All right. Lunchbox. Lance Armstrong won

No, it just, you know, my gravity, it's not working there, right?

Like shooting a paper wad into a trash can. Not good chances for me. Okay. But the flip a coin is 50-50 and there's like, William is a very common middle name. Common name in general. And that's a 50-50 for me at this moment. So you think William is 50-50 with every other day?

I agree because I didn't think it's 50-50 William versus all other Ws you know George William does have a nice ring to it though but what are the other Ws besides Walker William Walter Wilbur that's a good one Wilt yeah Walt

Yeah. Okay. Wobbler. Wobber. Wobster. Okay. All right. A lot more than 50.

Okay. We'll play with her again tomorrow. Give it up for a Barbie, everybody. And who wants to be 100? No winner today. I have two money stories I wanted to share with you. This first one, there's a guy in Houston who took out his PPP loan, you know, his paycheck protection program loan that people were getting during COVID. because a lot of folks were legitimately struggling,

except he bought a Lamborghini with his money, which is just to think you're not going to be caught. But he applied for more than $2 million in loans. He received over a million. He bought a Lamborghini, a Ford F-350, a Rolex, office space, and a lot of time at nightclubs. He pleaded guilty in September to wire fraud and money laundering. He was sentenced.

You wonder how he got caught? I do. When they finally vetted his applications, they were like, oh, this ain't right. Like, it took that long to even look at him. Wow. After they'd already given the money out because they were just given the money out to hopefully help people as often as they could, as quick as they could. His Lamborghini looked awesome, by the way.

Let me say that. I'm not a big Lamborghini guy, but I saw this car and I was like, holy crap, that's amazing. But he wasn't caught until they finally got. And I bet you there are a lot of people who think they got away with this. if they read this story, their butts are puckered hard this morning, you know? I just had that same thought. And even in my head,

I thought butt puckered. That's weird. Well, we're the same, Amy. We're the same. That story's from Click to Houston, if you want to see it. But if he almost got away with it, as much as I say that there are people listening now,

they're nervous about it, I bet you so many people got away with this. Yeah. Maybe not doing it as dumb. I mean, the guy went straight, in every capacity. And I'm sure he's posting it on Instagram, right? You can't have a Lamborghini and not...

The person who has a Lamborghini is also the person who has the Lamborghini to post the Lamborghini on Instagram or social media, right? Yeah, unless you are a true car collector. No? No? Even a true car collector wants to show off his Lamborghini. Oh, okay. Like, Lamborghinis are made to be shown off.

Lunchbox, what car would you have if you could have any car in the world? Lambo. And why? Because it's awesome. and everybody looks at it and everybody says, dang, that's what's that. That's, when they look at a lambour, they're like, that person made it in life. Unless you stole it. Here's another money story that I saw and kind of related to.

Adam Driver, the actor. Do you know who that is, Amy? No. He plays Kylo Ren in Star Wars. He's in House of Gucci. It's hard to describe him. Was he in the military? Yeah, he was in the military.

Eddie, you know who this guy is? Yeah, yeah. I know him from the Star Wars movies. What do you think about him as a person? He seems kind of like a douche. Okay. fair enough he is reportedly worth more than 10 million dollars right now but he talked about the first thing he spent money on after he got his first big acting check he said as a kid i couldn't really

afford high-end shoes and he went out and bought a pair of air jordan's the red and whites that's exactly what i did it wasn't my first like big money check but it was like my first check where i was like i don't have to live just paycheck to paycheck because growing up and i've told the story before like I always wanted to be able to afford a pair of Jordans because all the cool kids had Jordans and I only got my shoes from yard sales growing up or when my mom finally got a JC Penny's card we would go and put it on JC Penny's card

and so when I started to have a little bit of success at radio I went and I bought a pair of all white Jordans and I wore them forever and they eventually fell apart but I still have the box because that to me I wouldn't say was the sign I made it because I definitely hadn't made it at that point. I was making $45,000 a year.

But it was a sign that I was able to do things on my own and I was able to finally take care of myself in a way that I wasn't taking care of as a kid. And I know that is a bit irrational. I go, oh, we didn't have Jordans. But for me, like, not having any shoes, any new shoes at all was a big deal. But I still have the box.

I still keep a lot of documents in it. but I thought the story was cool from Adam Driver. I still have, and I think Scoob, Steve, our producer's the same way. He loves shoes because he couldn't afford shoes growing up. Am I right there, Scuba? Oh, yeah, I would see the kids, I'd say, but the kids who could afford it, the rich kids

that have these really cool pennies and Jordans and Charles Barkley's. I was like, man, one day when I get my first big paycheck, like Adam Driver, I'm going to buy these shoes. And so now I've spent a lot of my expendable income on shoes that I couldn't get in the 90s that are retro shoes now. Is your wife like, dude, give it a rest? My wife hates me for it.

But I thought that was pretty cool. You know, Adam Driver going out and buying a pair of shoes. Because maybe I think it's cool because I did the same thing. Amy, what do you have to say about that? Well, now I looked him up. I recognize him from girls, the HBO show. I knew I had seen him in something. And then, yeah, sure, he was.

He was a U.S. Marine. And Eddie called him a douche, but I'll leave that there. Yeah, I feel bad about that. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So this story just offers some hope and encouragement if you're trying to conceive. A woman in North Carolina gave birth for the very first time at age 50 years old. Wow, in America.

Yes, in America. And her husband is 61, and they welcome their first daughter, Lily. And doctors didn't know if this would be possible. She worked with some fertility doctor, her OBGYN, and she was able to conceive. First of all, good for them. Second of all, the 61-year-old guy part is not that shocking to me. No. but the fact that she's 50 most of the time it's like she's 63 and she had seven kids this is from

Indonesia those are the stories that we hear about but good for them at 50 years old obviously this is not common right it's an anomaly but maybe they've learned something with her that they can pass on to others yeah no that's why it's in the news and she said between the two of them her and her husband they're like Abraham and sarah that thing going on because god granted sarah her first child to age 90, which... Well, okay, they're not like Abraham and Sarah. Let's pause for a second. That's what she said. First of all, first of all,

50 and 90, way different. Second of all, you shouldn't compare yourself to biblical figures, just generally. Like ever. But no. And someone else can for you. If someone wanted to come out and go, you know what, this slightly resembles the story from the Bible of Abraham and Sarah.

And then she goes, stop it. No, it doesn't. But you can't go, hey, you know what? I'm like Jonah in the well. You can't do that. Okay, I think she just, for her, it's a miracle. And she finally, after all this time, 10 years of trying, was able to have a baby. And have y'all ever read that story to a child in the Bible Genesis?

Anybody recently? I haven't read it to a child. I've read it to myself. I was Bible Quiz champion for like four years in a row. But no, no kids. Okay, I know. I just feel like when you read that out loud, your child, it's like a lot of confusing. and then before God gives Sarah the baby,

then there's a time before where Sarah gives, you know, Abram, Abraham, before he's Abraham, Abraham, like her helper, Hagar. And it's like, you get to lay with her. It's like, I don't know. It's very, I'm like, this is PG-13 or rated R and I'm reading it to my child. And it's okay because it's Genesis of the Bible.

Also, I'm predicting they fudge the numbers a little bit on those ages. Just a little. Well, I know, but. prediction is. I'm stammering with how to say of any parent that has read that to their child is like, wait a second. Whoa, this is like next level stuff that's really weird. I hope my son doesn't ask me any questions.

Well, congratulations to them, two people that are blessed with a child later in life, that I shall not compare it to anyone biblical. Thank you, Amy. What is next? Yes. Okay. So have you ever re-gifted a present before, Bobby? Yes, but only because I think someone will enjoy it more than I would, never because,

I'm like, I don't want this crap. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, you're not alone. Majority of people have admitted to re-gifting. What about if you receive something and you don't like it? Are you able to do a good poker face and act like you like it or you can't hide it? Well, this is why, for the most part, I don't know if open gifts in front of people. You know this. I'll be like, oh, thank you. I'll be sure to open this when I get home. And then when I get home and I open it, I don't like it, I go, and then it goes in the closet.

Okay, and just heads up so people know, pajamas are the most common gift that gets returned. and then fancy toiletry type stuff. They're the most common items to get re-gifted. Well, I got a really nice set of pajamas last year from American Idol, and they're still in the pack. Because they're full, when am I going to wear pants and long sleeves to bed? And I'm not being, I'm not cranky about the gift,

but I know they spent a lot of money. It says Bobby on like the nipple written across it with a pocket. But it's like, when am I going to button my pajamas and go to bed? I'm not Mike Brady. This is not the Brady bunch. So, yes. Yeah, so if anybody receives these American Idol pajamas,

you're re-gifting. Well, of course, it says Bobby on it. Eddie, if you get some pajamas to say Bobby, it wasn't an accident. They didn't accidentally write my name on it. And now I know the story, so I'll expect that. So if you missed Reba McIntyre's holiday movie on Lifetime called Christmas in Toon, I have good news.

You can watch it again this Saturday night on Lifetime at 8 p.m. 9. 8 p.m. Central, 9 p.m. Eastern. And here's the clip of Riba talking about. We filmed it in June. It was hot, as you can imagine, even when we were inside, the air conditioning couldn't keep us cool enough with all of our scarves and sweaters and things like that on. We were sweating up to storm. But it's a sweet movie, and I hope everybody enjoys it. And I will be watching that. Again, that's this Saturday night in case you want to catch it on

Lifetime. Can I ask a question? Yeah. And you'll be honest with me? Yes. Because I don't know what you're going to put in the pile. I just want pure honesty here for me and the listeners. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Was that a commercial? For what? For Riva? Yeah, for his movie. Do they like pay us to put that in there? Or are you just genuinely like caring about that? Oh yeah.

I don't get paid for that ever. Is that an option? No, I don't know. Can I? No. Okay, it wasn't. I never, I never know. And so when you're like, Rivas got a lifetime movie at 9-8 Central, I'm like,

did they pay us to say this? No, I was just giving people the time in case they wanted to watch it. And again, it's called Christmas in tune. I'm not getting paid to say that. But I am obsessed with all the Christmas movies. And a Reba one, you know, is going to be good. And so some people might not know that it's out because there's so many. Like everywhere.

And this one's on life. Okay. Did anyone else think that was a commercial, though? Possibly the Amy had slipped in. It kind of sounded like one. But good. Reba's like slipping me 100 or what? No, but the movie, the television network.

Oh, Lifetime. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, Amy. No, not an ad. 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. We got a Tell Me Something Good from Meg in Long Island, and she's on the phone now. Meg, how are you? Morning. Morning studio. Morning. What's going on?

So I have a really fun tell me something good for you guys. Okay. So I grew up in a small town on Long Island. It's a beach community. and after 34 years, our ice cream truck retired. Now, it wasn't the ice cream truck that you see Mr. Softie in New York City. It was a woman who bought this ice cream truck with her own money at 19 years old and was our ice cream lady for 34 years.

And at the end of her retirement, the whole town through her parade on her last drive led by our town bagpiper. That's awesome. Awesome, the whole town came together to do that. You could tell how much she went to everybody, and they knew her from all those years. Exactly, because when I was a kid, I got sick once, and she brought me ice cream when I got home from the hospital, and she was that type of person. She took care of everyone over the years, and we wanted to just give back to her, so we

threw her a parade. How did she react to the parade? She cried. Her husband had to drive the truck because she stood there in the truck crying the whole time and she had no idea that we were going to do this. Do you know her name? Yes, her name's Marybeth. Well, Marybeth. Go ahead. No, I was just to say her name's Marybeth and she's been amazing and we're all going to miss her.

But she needs to actually sit on the beach with us, not just give us the ice cream while we're there. That's awesome. Thank you for sharing that with us, Meg. That is Tell Me Something Good, and that is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

And number one, Zach Brown band, Same Boat.

I mean, how do you feel about the state of the top of the charts right now? Because sometimes we come on and we're like, oh, those songs suck or sometimes we're like, they're great. But when I played those three, just in general, how do you feel about the state of it? I don't like playing this game. Oh. Okay, I'll go. I think it's fine.

I think it's fine to pretty good. I think sometimes we play the top three songs, and I'm like, that's garbage. Like, what's happening? And sometimes I'm really into it. I'm like, those are good songs. I feel like it's pretty good here. Oh, okay. I'd give it a solid B.

Because there are sometimes, I'm like, what are radio people thinking making these the big, you know? Yeah. I mean, I don't disagree with the fact that these are huge songs. It's just not my favorite top three. But that's my favorite. I'm not asking if they're your favorite song. Like, I like the Luke Combs song a lot. I hate that it's going to come and go so quick because they just run it up the chart like it's nothing.

Okay, but you feel okay about it. I feel okay about it, yes. Yay for them The number one rock song It's from Papa Roach called Kill the Noise What? Amy, Papa Roach

What do you know them from? What song? I don't I mean if you gave me some If you gave me, I need a hint though No, because Lynn Biscuits gets in my head Or How about I'll give you one word

Cut My life in two pieces Got it Yeah, this is my last resort Got my life in two pieces This is my last resort Wow, I can't believe she got that. Those guys have to be like 90 now, right?

And they're still rocking that hard? Those are your top songs and music. Let's go over to Amy now and get in The Morning Corny. The Morning Corny! A gingerbread man went to the doctor complaining about a sore knee. Oh, yeah? Yeah. The doctor asked him, have you tried icing it?

That was the morning corny. It took us while to get there. We went on a journey when you were telling that joke. We went on the journey. But you know what we got there and we're better for it. Lunchbox has a theory about the rock that we're going to get to in a second. We already know lunch has beef with the rock because the rock pulls up beside tour buses and the people freak out.

And then Lunchbox tried that and people went who? So there's already some animosity there just from Lunchbox. Box to the Rock. And I'm going to get to what he's upset about, but first, here's the story. So the Rock had surprised at theater full of people that had come to watch his movie Red Notice. He learned about the people that were in actually watching the movie, learned their stories. And he said there was one person in the audience named Oscar. He takes care of a 75-year-old mom. He's a personal trainer, leader at his church, and provides support and meals for women.

And so he gave him his personal custom truck as a holiday surprise. And here is a clip of that. I want to show you something real quick. I got this. I wrote this card for you. It's a little thing. What the heck? Thank you for your service, brother.

Enjoy your new truck. What the heck? You're happening. Get out of you, bro. Oh, my God. You do a lot of good for people, man. I thought this was your truck, bro. It is my truck.

What do you mean? This is my personal truck. It's yours now. Do a lot of good for people, brother. The gym, the church, your mom, women. Women who need that support. We're going through it. Thank you, bro.

It's just love, you know? He's also a Navy veteran, which you heard the rock say, thank you for your service. Like, don't you hear to that? And it makes you emotional in such a positive way, Amy. Yeah, no, I mean, there's, I just feel like any recognition, but especially something like that

from the rock and then yeah i mean to make anybody feel special that's super cool okay lunchbox now to your theory once we've spent some time shedding light on the positive part of it go ahead what is the rock hiding what are the skeletons in his closet that he is making up for that he's doing all this stuff to make sure no one looks in his closet i mean he pulls up to tour buses and gives them big screen TVs and money and trips and now he's giving away cars and there is just something the rock is hiding and this is all just hey look at all the good look at all the good so he can sweep the bag under the rug so no one will look in his closet there is no way someone is this good can you stop saying people look in his closet like that's a term like what like skeletons in your closet

yeah yeah yeah yeah i would think with the reason i think your logic is flawed is because if the rock didn't want people to see the bad things he's done he would just stay out of the limelight for anything the more people are talking about you, writing stories about you, learning, sharing, the odds are they'll find whatever it is you're trying to hide. But he's not doing that. He's out front and center constantly. So I don't think there's anything that he's hiding. Amy, your thoughts on lunchboxes theory?

No, it never even crossed my mind. Like, not once. Like, he just gave away his personal truck. Yeah, but that's nothing to him. I mean, I'm sure it's his personal truck, but like the cost of that is like literally nothing to him. I don't know, guys. I'm just getting, when it comes out, you can come back and be like, lunch, you're a genius.

Because you always tell me, what do you think is going to come out about the rock? Man, he's embezzling money. That's why he's able to give away all this stuff. Like, money's nothing to him because he's just doing like office space where he's just taking a little bit off the top every time. And what do you know? He's super rich. Or he's just like a good dude. Is that even a possibility in your mind?

Very slim. What about that you're just upset because he has people that recognize and, and adore him. I mean, and you don't, and you don't as much. Okay, yes,

because I, no, no, people adore me and recognize me all the time. It's just when I do something good,

it doesn't get a whole new story and some dude doesn't start crying. Oh, you know, like, thank you. What do you mean?

I thought this was your truck. No, I mean, like, you think if I gave someone the ultimate, they would cry? Yes,

like, I have to, like, what am I going to do with this? To fix this out? Mm-hmm. Okay. Lunchbox,

I hear your theory. I don't agree with it, but I do give you a platform to voice it. Do you feel better? I do feel better. And I just want you to buy guys to be suspicious. If the Rock offers you something, ask him. What are you hiding? Okay.

Well, what's really cool right now is we do have the Rock on the phone. Seriously? Yeah. Let's see how much you talk. Let's see how much crap you talk to him. Let's go. Come on, Roy. He's not on the phone.

I just kidding. Oh. I thought he was. Oh. On the phone. right now is Dylan in North Dakota. Dylan, what's going on with you? I just need some advice.

I've been seeing this girl for two months. I've known her for years. We just started dating. She works an agent job. I'm a truck driver. I just got out of a bad lease. They wouldn't fix nothing, so I got out of it. And now she's just talking about buying a house

when I'm the one that makes all the payments and have to do all that stuff. Okay, so you need our advice to do what? Is she just using me for my house? money. Like, she makes four bucks now at the wages shop. I look at it at lunch bucks. My money's my money is my money.

Her money's her money is her money. And she's trying to push me to buy a house so she has a place to live. Does sound like that. Is she pushing you to pay for all the other things, too? Yeah, she just bought a car. She's trying to push me to buy her insurance, pay for her repair her car. Well, here's the thing about the house. Let me start with that.

If you decide you need a house and you want to buy your own house, you buy the house, you buy the house with your money and your name. You're not married to her, right? Yeah, no. And yeah, for you. And then she should help contribute to whatever. Even if that's not the case, she doesn't have to live there.

You still own the house. Like, you can kick her butt out tomorrow. It's still all your house. Do not put, if you do buy the house, do not put her name on the house. That's my point here. I don't care what. She's your girlfriend.

If you want to buy the house, great. It does sound like she's using you as a roof over the head, though. Her car insurance, out. No chance. Yeah, she should be able to pay for that. That one, because you're not getting anything from that. With the house, if you decide to do that, that's at least an investment. That's at least a home and a place to live.

There's zero percent chance. I'm paying for a girlfriend's car insurance, especially if I already feel like something a little shady is going on. Do you feel like something shady is going on? Yes or no, Dylan. Yes. Okay. Okay.

Well, yeah, trust your gut. And you know what your gut really is? When people say trust your gut, do you know what your gut really is? It's a part of your brain that makes a very quick decision in the best way possible. Oh. Like when people say trust your gut and you get that feeling like I just feel this, it's really not from any other part of your body except a different part of your brain that doesn't spend a lot of time doing the analytics.

Why don't we just say that then? Because it's better to be like, just your gut. And sometimes you get a feeling like down in your gut. It's like, you know, my heart tells me to do this. Nope, that's just a different part of your brain. Your heart's pumping blood through your body. It's beating. Right, right.

Your heart broken? Well, your brain is hurt. Your brain broke. Oh, wow. This is. I didn't know all this. Hey, Dylan, that's a red flag. Yeah, are you going to just bring this up to her?

Like, how do you plan on handling this? Yeah, bring it up to her like, hey, kick rocks. Oh, wow. You're going to break up. If I find out that someone's trying to use me just to buy a place so that she can live, just to pay her car insurance. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm already in the place where unless she can save herself by explaining this in a way,

I'm out. Okay, well, he has to bring it up, though, because if he hasn't had the conversation, he can't just assume and accuse her. She might have a, She might be like... Dylan, Amy has a point. Are you going to bring this up to her? I have brought it up to her.

Every time I bring it up, and she's like, oh, okay. And then she just hangs up on the phone. It's like, we haven't even finished the conversation. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to go back to Exhibit A, kick rocks. So if I were you, I would run. First of all, I'd go buy a new pair of shoes, put them on your feet, and then run long and far.

Like forwards. Just and not stop running. So, Dylan, our advice to you, just from hearing the part of the story that we've heard, is that she is not for you. You need to run and hide, okay? Okay, and Bobby, what are shoes? I wear boots. Hey.

Oh, well. Get some comfortable boots then. Or get in your truck and drive. Yeah. That analogy might work better. Baby, hey, Dylan, drive. All right, Dylan, good luck, bud. Thanks, Bob.

All right, thanks. See you later. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home, there's something good. We got to call her Susan on the line. Susan, how's it going? Tell me your story. Yeah, morning studio.

Morning. Yeah, so I baked cookies and in exchange for the donation to my favorite charity is usually Alzheimer's Association, but I've also raised money, quite substantial amount of money for some other organizations. But over the last, oh, about five years, I've raised over $100,000 for Alzheimer's. Oh, my gosh. And, yeah, one cookie at a time. You know, one mixer, one person sitting in my kitchen doing the cookies. And I also teach cookie classes, which helps me raise a little bit more at one time.

Let me ask a couple questions here. My first question is, do you make the best dang cookies in the whole world? I think so. And other people have told me so. And then I tasted somebody else's the other day, and I think so again. My second question I have for you is, what has a lot of? inspired you to make all these cookies for a great cause? So it started as, well, I started with Alzheimer's because my friend's mom had it.

And then about 15 years ago, my mom was diagnosed. And she passed away last October. And so my mission just got stronger and more determined to find a cure for Alzheimer's because it's just an awful disease. Well, we appreciate you doing what you do. it's very selfless.

I am very impressed with what I've heard on your shows lately. Keep it up, buddy. Keep it up. All right, I'll take that. I'll take that every day and twice on Sunday, you know what I'm saying, guys? Yep. I have no idea what he's talking about or if he even called the right show, but I'll take it. You guys can leave us a voicemail anytime you want.

877-77 Bobby. That's our number. B-O-B-B-Y, if you're listening on podcast or you can't get through during the show, call us after the show, leave us a message. Thank you. Let's do the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. Police in Alabama are talking with the FedEx driver connected to the case of hundreds of missing packages.

This is from WVTM. An investigation launched after hundreds of FedEx packages were dumped in an Alabama ravine. Around 400 packages were found dumped in the ravine on private property near Hayden, north of Birmingham. Sheriff Mark Moon said it seemed the packages had been left within the past 24 hours. He didn't know why they were there. The driver has been questioned, but his identity has not been made public yet. Meanwhile, FedEx released a statement apologizing and saying they'll work to deal with any damaged packages. Amy, what do you think happened here?

I have no idea. He got lazy. He didn't want to do it. He just had fed up. So he just dumped him and went on with his day. Like he did all of his work. Like he had something better he wanted to go do. So he just got rid of them and moved on.

Thought he'd never get caught. Ooh, I don't know. I mean, I think you probably get caught. You're right. He had to think he'd never get caught. And yes, I would think he's like, all right, I can't be done with work until I'm done with packages. So I'll just dump them real quick.

But I would think you would steal them at least. if you were going to have them just be gone, what are you go and dump them somewhere and then go through the package later and steal the stuff out of them? Oh, well, yeah, if you're, but I think the big part here is he's lazy. That would be a lot of work to steal it and do all that.

He just didn't want to work, so he just threw them out. But you could steal, here I am convincing Amy how to steal now, but you could steal, you could dump them somewhere and then go back and get all the stuff out of them later. I just think there's a lot of,

lunchbox your theory? Look, this guy got paid. Someone, there's something in those packages that isn't supposed to be in those packages. And they said, look, I can't tell you what box is in. So I need you to dump them all. Oh, yeah. And so he had to dump them all. And whoever was getting that secret package, they went down there and sifted through them and picked out the one they needed.

Well, if you're missing any Christmas gifts, they're probably in a ditch in Alabama. So sorry about that. All right. Next up, authorities at the Miami International Airport discovered a stow away in the landing gear of a plane flying from Guatemala. It was a guy. He was in a daze, but he was able to sit and talk to first responders. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers apprehended a 26-year-old who got in the landing gear of the airplane and flew here. And there's a video of him getting out of it.

Here's a report from WTVJ News in Miami. The 26-year-old man sitting on the ground as airplanes. Port workers try to give him water. The man surviving the trip, a flight of about two and a half hours. He was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital. NBC6 investigator and pilot, Willard Shepard says, based on the flight data, the temperature and the gear well dropped by about 100 degrees while the plane was in flight. So this person was in there a time period, probably about two hours, where they were subjected

to sub-zero temperatures. You can have all the north face you want. It's going to be cold as crap in that thing. I'm surprised he lived. Me too. Because people do this sometimes and they die. And he must have really wanted to get the heck out of Guatemala, you know? Here is an aviation expert, John Day, talking about the risk of surviving inside a plane's landing gear.

So you've got these four huge wills in this massive landing gear right here. And when this landing gear retracts, probably less than a foot of space wide to really fit into. It's an incredibly narrow space where somebody's just going to be almost in the fetal position for five and a half hours. He'd have to kind of be slumped over to survive. And if the plane hit any kind of turbulence, I mean, it'd be like riding a roller coaster without a seatbelt. I feel terrible for this guy because he was freezing. He was, I mean, almost falling to his death the entire time. He's just inches away from it.

And I hope we don't send him back. Unless he's like kill people or something, like we should keep him. He just got a ticket. I guess that'd be a bad precedent to set though. Yeah. You can't just start doing that. Okay, but you can for this guy only. Like, we just do it for him,

but we don't do it for anybody else. But this guy went through it, man, and he lived. I bet people try this and they don't live. That is wild. That's a sad story-ish, right? Because he did get here and he lived. Yeah, he's alive. I mean, if he would have died,

I wouldn't have told the story. I'd exactly like you never happen. All right, final story. Zodiac signs. Amy, what's yours? Pisces. Lunchbox? Leo.

Eddie? Aries. Yeah, I'm an Ares. Anybody at Libra? I am. Okay. Morgan, this story's for you. Okay.

Data has shown that Libras are the Zodiac sign most likely to cheat. Oh, man. It's not good. Boom. How you like that, boyfriend? That's not what I was expecting. Did your boyfriend listen? They analyze?

No. Oh, go ahead. No, he doesn't? No, he doesn't listen. This is probably a good thing right now. Libra's make up a whopping 16% of cheaters. This is something most likely to cheat. The source is best life.

I don't know what the crap. Best life is. It sounds like a terrible life to me if you're reporting on this. But yeah, congrats. Have a dinner conversation with your boyfriend about that tonight, Morgan. Okay, I will. I'll be like, how do you feel about this? I bet it ain't good.

Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. Mike Dee was talking about Spider-Man coming out. What's the difference? in this Spider-Man and the nine other Spider-Man movies? It's supposed to be like the best one ever, basically. But don't they say that every time a Spider-Man comes out? No, this one has a lot of anticipation around it.

Yes, that happens every time a Spider-Man comes out? This one specifically. Okay, so people are selling their Spider-Man tickets on eBay, and one pair of them went for like $25,000, apparently. I don't know. So the websites are crashing. Spider-Man No Way Home hits theaters on December 17th. Mike D. has already bought his tickets.

Yep, they went on sale. Does this give you hope that theaters aren't completely dead? I think they're coming back. This is going to be the biggest movie of the year and showing that when there's a big event like this, people will go to the movie theater. Okay, I can agree with you on that. I think if there's a big event,

I think the movies, for the sake of just being like a decent movie, I don't think people are going to theaters anymore. Yeah, I can watch it at home. I think big blockbuster movies, obviously will pull people in. Would you think about selling your tickets on eBay? Not a chance. For 500 bucks. No.

Oh, really? I have to see it the day it comes out. No. Why? Are you going to dress up? No. Oh, maybe. I do have Spider-Man.

Oh, gosh. So for $500 you wouldn't sell your Spider-Man tickets. No. I've been looking forward to this movie for years. Who's in it? I don't even know who's in it. Tom Holland is Spider-Man. They're also bringing back some older villains in it, and there's a rumor that other Spider-Men will appear in it.

Has Tom Holland been Spider-Man before? Yeah, two times. Then why do we care? Then who cares? Because of all, well, there's a lot of spoilers going out, but there's a lot of hype around who else could be in the movie. I'm disappointed that I can't watch it at home. Me too.

I'm disappointed any movie now is only theater release. Like I've kind of been reconditioned, much like when Netflix would put out shows all at once. And then you'd have Hulu come back and put out one episode at a time. I would be like, dang it, I needed my show. Because I was conditioned to believe that I needed all the shows to binge. Now I feel the same way about movies. I'll still buy them.

I'm happy to click on Disney Plus and buy them. the Marvel movie or Amazon where I buy stuff sometimes HBO Max, sometimes they have new movies up there. I do not want to go to a theater and watch a movie though.

Does anyone else care about Spider-Man? No. Well, my kids, until this segment, I had no idea that these tickets were highly sought after, didn't even know the release date, so thankful that Mike D

just getting his heads up. And so, I don't know. They were talking about going to see this movie, and I thought, okay, no worries, we'll just pick a time to go. but it doesn't seem like it's going to be that easy. What's the last good movie everybody's seen?

I think that's a fair question. Think about this for a second because I definitely didn't tell you guys I was going to ask that. But the last, you know what I started watching was Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds? And I watched like 45 minutes of it in the hotel.

And Caitlin wasn't loving it. I think I'm going to like it because he just, he figures out he's a background character in a video game. Yeah. And she's like, yeah, this is more your style. I'm just going to go and take a shower.

But I'm kind of into free guy right now. Did you watch that? You review it? Yeah, it's pretty good. Oh, I thought you said it was great. I told Kate Lentz. I said it was pretty good. You would probably like it, though.

It's kind of like a more comedic ready player one. Amy, last great movie you've seen. I guess King Richard. Okay. Mike? I would say probably Shang Chi, which was the last Marvel movie. That one was really good. Eddie?

Man, I was going to say Shang-Chi, because I just watched that with my kids. Definitely a top Marvel movie. movie. So good. Really? Yes. Lunchbox? Okay. The last good movie I saw Parasite. Whoa. I haven't watched the movie a long time. Hey, guys, housekeeping's beating on the door right now in the hotel I'm in. No, thank you. Have a good day. I don't know if you guys could hear that. I heard that. That's hilarious. You did? Yeah. For listeners hanging out right now listening to us, I am doing the show from a hotel in Central America somewhere. And sometimes, I don't know,

They could have come over where people were complaining too. Maybe. Because it's butt crack early and I'm like, what's your favorite movie? Bones, you don't need towels or anything? Shampoo? You're all good? I'm all good. All right.

I'm all good. Lunchbox, what were you saying? I'm sorry. I said parasite because I really don't know if I've seen a movie since parasite that I can think of off top of my head. Yeah. Oh, I take back a free guy because I'm not finished, but watching Just Mercy. Excellent. Oh, yeah.

I mentioned that on a show, five stars, five gavels. and then I watched Frost Nixon and it was good, but it wasn't as good as Just Mercy. So, all right, we're good. I mean, I kind of, I'm shaking a little bit by someone beating on the door this early in the morning. I should probably go check that. Bobid Bones show.

Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes with us from Bellevue, Washington. A husband and wife were out walking downtown Bellevue when a lady walked up to him, asked him for some money. They said no, so she took a frying pan and wha! Whoa. him in the head. She was walking around with a frying

pan? Yeah, had it behind her back. I mean, if anybody came up to me and asked for something while holding something behind their back, I might actually give it to them because I would think it was a gun or something. Maybe that's her technique. That's also weird that you'd walk around holding something behind your back, and especially a frying pan. So what happened?

She was arrested a few blocks away. That's like old school 1940 slapstick stuff. Very stew just frying pan to the head. Why I ought to? Yeah. Oh, all right, that's what's up. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Fans of an oasis cover band got stranded after a concert. The guests were sheltering at a place called the Tan Hill Inn after attending the Friday concert of an oasis tribute band.

The storm dumped three feet of snow on them and they were stuck in the pub for three nights. Which probably on the surface sounds amazing. But I think after 24 hours, you're like, get me the heck out of here. I remember once it was snowing really bad in our house. Arkansas, where I grew up. And I worked at a radio station 105.9 KLAZ in Hot Springs, Arkansas. And I worked there the whole time I went to college. And they were like, hey, a big snowstorm's coming. You know, there may be snow for 24 hours. Can you, and add another buddy named Matt, can you guys come up to the station and just work the whole 24 hour period and switch off

until the snow goes away, which was quite the ask, but I was doing anything to make any money. And I was just excited to be in radio. And I was like, sure, I was like 20 years old. the snowstorm was like four days and we were trapped there and we were delirious. We would do, we started off first switching out every three hours and then we weren't getting any sleep. So then we started switching out every six hours and then eight hours. But like the last three hours, the eight hour shift, we were speaking a different language. I mean, it was like, all right, this is chumba wumba. Chumba.

Like it's almost like we were, I've never been high. but it was like we were high on the air and we had to do this for days miserable experience it would have been more fun to be stuck at a pub but I think that would have probably gotten old to because how much how much beer on tap can you really drink?

Yeah, right and then they're gonna run out eventually so also I'm surprised that an oasis cover band has a bunch of people going to a show Hey man I would totally go to that That's like a bar show though That's like someone that would play that pub Not you go to a show and then to the pub.

But I saw that story. I wanted to share it. Back tomorrow, have a great day. See you then. Yeah. Bobby bones. All right, if you have ever dealt with a traditional home security company, you know the drill.
