Starting point is 00:12:46 Let's go over to our producer, Raimundo, who is in the glassroom with the news and his microphone. Ramundo, what you got over there? In Amazon News, we're finding out they apparently employ thousands of people to listen to our conversations when we're having them with our smart speakers. They're just a heads up on that. In the upper Midwest and the north, dangerous roads with tons of snow. One person was killed several car accidents. Officials are warning, go slow on the roads. And finally, a JFK in New York, an American Airlines flight lost a chunk of its wing after it hit a sign.
Starting point is 00:13:16 at the airport. The flight returned to the airport and landed safely, so that's good news. Bobby boom, come on. Your husband, Amy, gave you an ultimatum? Pretty much. What happened? Well, if I get my haircut any shorter, because every time I go in for a haircut, I just keep going a little bit shorter and a little bit shorter and a little bit more. And so he says if I get a little bit more, he's going to shave his beard off.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And I love the beard. And he knows that I love the beard. And I don't want the beard to go away. I love the beard. but he's like, okay, well, I love longer hair. So now I feel like we're at a predicament because I'm loving the short hair on myself. It's just easier to manage.
Starting point is 00:13:58 And I don't see myself growing it out, but I guess I pretty much now I'm going to stay at the length that I am for the time being. Is he measuring it every day? She comes home and he pulls. All right, honey. And then he'll keep the beard. But if I, yeah, come back from another hair appointment
Starting point is 00:14:13 and it's shorter. he's shaving. That's it. It's all there is to it. He straight up turned this into a little game and I don't like it. Does he like his beard? He likes it fine, but he doesn't, he's like, I keep it for you because you've liked it for so long. And actually when he first grew it out when he got out of the Air Force, I was like so not used to it because he'd never out a beard.
Starting point is 00:14:33 And I was like, ugh, what is happening? And then it grew on me and now I like love it. And I do not want the beard to go away. And I like beards and... Can I make a suggestion? What? I think you should cut your hair shorter. No.
Starting point is 00:14:43 I don't want him to shave the beard. And he will. Because I like him without the beard. You do? I do, yeah. I think he's a better looking guy without the beard. Interesting. Yeah, I'm just not a facial hair guy, even for myself.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Like, sometimes I'll grow out some scruff. He'll be like, ooh, but I have like little gray patches. I've had him my whole lot. Yeah, so does he. It's fine. Yeah, but I'm still trying to get a woman. I'm not trying to be papal. Yeah, but I like it. Women like it.
Starting point is 00:15:06 They don't like the gray. Yeah, they do. It looks old. Okay. That's high. Morgan number two, if there was a guy, you're 25. There's a guy coming up to who was like, hey, baby. and he had like a little gray patch in his beard
Starting point is 00:15:16 when you'd be like, hey, Papa, I'll leave me alone. Yeah. See? Yeah, but are you trying to get with the 25-year-old? Yes. Who cares? I mean, if you're getting someone that can, like, accept that you have mature hair.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I don't like, I don't like it on me. And you know what? I wish your husband will shave his face. Think he's a great looking guy without the beard. So my suggestion is cut your hair. Shave your head. Shave your head. Shave your head.
Starting point is 00:15:41 You know how awesome. It'd be so manageable. That would definitely be so manageable. I would just wake up and go. You'd look good. I think you look great. You'd never have the face for that. No, I did not have.
Starting point is 00:15:50 No, I don't have a head for that. Shenato Amy. Okay, so if you cut your hair shorter, he's going to shave his beard and you don't want that. No. So now, I mean, this is it. This is as short as I go, people. The Bobby Bones show. I love country music.

Starting point is 00:22:29 With lunchbox Tell me something good A nine-year-old girl is being called a hero in Iowa For saving her babysitter's life So the babysitter's there watching the kids When she passes out in the chair And there's blood coming out of her mouth And the nine-year-old's like, hmm, that's not right
Starting point is 00:22:47 So she calls her mom, goes, mom, the babysitter's asleep And there's blood coming out She goes, honey, I need you to hang up and call 911 So the nine-year-old calls 911 And the babysitter had had a seizure They came and saved her. Oh, wow. Amy, you have a son that's almost nine.
Starting point is 00:23:05 What do you think would happen to that situation? He would call QLL. Like, we still, we're struggling at that. Actually, we had a parent-teacher meeting recently, and the teachers even said, like, he just, like, sometimes order of numbers and letters, especially because it's all so new to him at the stage, because he grew up in an orphanage,
Starting point is 00:23:24 his education isn't that strong. He's learning a new language. Yeah. Is he dyslexic? think? No, but they do. They say it's too hard. It's the same thing happens with my daughter. Like if she's spelling, if you say spell up, she'll do P-U instead of UP. But it's, they're like, it's too hard for us to say right now that it's some sort of a disability or if it's just so much happening right now, they get things confused because they've had a break in education. It's a second language.
Starting point is 00:23:52 You know, there's there's other factors that could wash away with time. And QLL means he thinks the Q is the nine and the HL is a one. Yes. So by calling number one, he calls QLL, and the one who's another one answers. Right. Yeah. So that's, yeah. So that's where we are.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So, yeah, if that were to happen at our house, I don't know. My daughter, she's, yeah, basically 12, so she would be able to handle it, but probably not Stevenson. Lunchbox, it's a good story. That's what it's all about. Good on that nine-year-old day. That was Tell Me Something Good. Lobby Bone Show. Bonehead.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Story of the day. This story comes to us from Crossville, Tennessee. A 45-year-old woman was walking to Waffle House and she was tired of walking. She goes, oh, there's a Walmart. You know what? I'm going inside. She gets one of the electric carts, drives it out, and starts going down the highway to get to Waffle House. Oh, she just leaves on it.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah, she says that's a good transportation because her feet were tired and she was arrested for theft. Well, it is a good transportation if your feet's tires. It's a little slow, but yeah. Yeah, but imagine if your feet are super tired, how slow that must be. But she drove it out on the highway. Was she drinking? They do believe alcohol was a factor. It was 5 a.m.
Starting point is 00:25:03 Can you imagine getting behind that? I got behind somebody in one of those bird scooters on the actual road road. Oh, what? Yeah. We're supposed to ride on the road, not on the sidewalk. No, no, no. But this is like not exactly the interstate, but it was a road where you should be going,
Starting point is 00:25:16 I think it's feeling it was like 50. And the bird scoot, there are low electric scooters are in all these cities now. And you put like a nickel in it and you go down the road. This scooter's right in front of it. And I was like, what's happening? But they're really supposed to ride on the road? No.
Starting point is 00:25:29 No, not in main roads like this. They're not supposed to be on the road. They're in the middle of the road like a car. Right, right.

Starting point is 00:40:37 and then Harry Stiles. He has four. Did you know that? A new Mark Wahlberg had three. I did not know the Harry Styles had four. But the extra nipples usually aren't the same size. It's not like four big nipples.
Starting point is 00:40:51 And then also they're usually not on their chest. Well, Harry's, there's one right below his nipple area and then one on his stomach. Are they big? They look like nipples? They're like one, two. Oh, they're a little. I would think they were moles. And he really has that tattoo that says no more nipples? No, that's just an image.
Starting point is 00:41:13 That's just something written on the end of it. I didn't have four nipples though. Did you know I have nine testicles? Fun fact. something else. I didn't know that. Be like, careful ladies. Well, okay. Thank you for that genuine gut laugh. Yeah, dude. That was funny.
Starting point is 00:41:29 All right. What else? So Tom Cruise, his front right tooth is actually in the center of his mouth. So his teeth are like totally off. Like he doesn't have like the line down the center. His right tooth is right there in the center. I know we got adult braces in the last few years.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Yeah. Maybe that's why. Are we sure that's not a nipple in his mouth? No. So, Betty White is older than sliced bread. She was born on January 17th, 1922, and the first time a pre-slice loaf of bread was sold was in 1928. Do you mind if I ask a question here? Are we still little fun facts?
Starting point is 00:42:04 Was that not fun? That was very fun. I just want to make sure I'm going to make sure I'm still having fun at the appropriate time. I have two more fun facts if you're in. Elvis was a natural blonde. I knew that. Wow. Y'all knew that?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Okay. I guess his personal hairstylist would dye his hair. black every two weeks to keep it shiny. Didn't know that was how fast it was being died, but I did know he was a blonde. A blonde dish. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, and then Christopher Walkin, he used to be a lion tamer when he was 16 years old. Isn't that who lunchbox looks like?
Starting point is 00:42:34 I know that's Steve Bouchimi. Yeah, Steve Bouching. No, I do not. You guys are haters. How many people in the room by the saying of I think lunchbox looks like Steve Bouchimi? Aye. Opposed? Me.
Starting point is 00:42:44 All right, cool. All right, Amy, what else? Okay, so people in Mississippi are finding mysterious bowls of mashed potatoes on their porch. And nobody knows why it's happening or what's going on, but it's porches, mailbox cars. I don't know. Found it on their porches.
Starting point is 00:43:01 They found it on their mailboxes, on their cars. We don't know if someone's just playing a prank or if someone just had a lot of leftovers. We're not quite sure. It was headed to work, and there was just a styrofoam bowl of mashed potatoes on the door steps right there. Some people were thinking maybe the mashed potatoes
Starting point is 00:43:17 were poisoned to kill animals. I didn't taste it. You know, I have a three-second rule, so I didn't touch it. But some people were worried. This is the kind of humor that I love. Random and unknown. And there's really not a joke to it. Well, I don't know if it's harmless or not.
Starting point is 00:43:31 It could be poisoned. Well, yeah, let's not find out. But I think that's so funny when just random things, when people just go, this would be funny to me. To do something so random and just see if it catches. Yeah, what else? So this Sunday night, April 14th, is the season finale of the most expensive,
Starting point is 00:43:46 most watched, most pirated show. ever. I mean, Game of Thrones is coming to an. I don't watch it. I'm going to be watching American Idol because Bobby's going to be on there. Boom. I figure a lot of people, maybe you could just at least like... What times it on though? After getting, Idle? 9. 11 West Coast. So, I don't... Okay. Yeah. I'm being watching Idol, but it's like, apparently people are pretty pumped about this one. And it's the most expensive season ever shot. The budget was 15 million per episode, taking the overall season cost to $90 million. episode. That's movies. Movies are made for far less.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Yeah. I love Game of Thrones. I don't think it's for everyone. It is the best television show of our lifetime because of all those reasons. It may not be the best to you. And I don't think it's my, it's not my favorite of my lifetime. But I think it's the best because one is based off books. They said pretty true. They went past beyond the books because the guy's alive and won't write the books. The guy won't finish the books. So they had to create extra story. And so, and he's still alive. I'm accurate on that, right? And then it's just the characters and the story.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I mean, it's really, the sad, the scenes, and it's really a fantastic show. It's a lot. It's a lot, though. But I'll be watch. I'll catch up with it. But only after American Idol. That's right, 8-7 Central on ABC, Sunday night and Monday night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Yeah, there you go. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. So this police officer, Officer Richards, responded to a call about somebody breaking into a car and stealing all of a toddler's birthday gifts from his mom's car. And so Officer Richards and his colleagues were like, oh, man, these kids aren't getting any gifts. And so all of those cops that were on duty through the overnight shift went out.
Starting point is 00:45:32 They go to Walmart and Target and rebuy almost all the gifts and then some other stuff too and gave them some police gear as well. So that entire squad purchased matched gifts and then the department shared the kids birthday on the Facebook page. I thought that was good. They had to do that. Could have just been like, all right, this is 1096. Peace out. But they didn't. They didn't.
Starting point is 00:45:53 I don't know to 1096. Yeah, I was wondering. What is that? There you go. That's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Corny. What stinks when it's living and smells good when it's dead.
Starting point is 00:46:09 What stinks when it's living but smells good when it's dead? Bacon. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, yeah. Okay.

Starting point is 00:52:40 Yeah. Right? Because I do. I think he's the awesomest. Right. Every time I see him, I'm like, Joe, anyone has I told you, he's the awesomist.

Starting point is 00:53:34 I just, I'm kind of an experimenter. I'll see something on one of them, too, cooking shows or something, you know, and I'll just give it a shot. Sometimes it comes out. Sometimes it doesn't. I'm making a lasagna for her boss, who just, he and his wife just had a baby. So I made one before.
Starting point is 00:53:51 four for one of her coworkers and they're like, that's what he requested. So I'm going to make a lasagna. You can request songs or lasagna from Joe Diffie. It's the craziest thing ever. Joe Diffie made us a little of Zodian. But I never can do the same thing twice because I cook by just tasting a little here and there, you know, and adding a little this and a dash of that. So I don't have any like set.
Starting point is 00:54:13 You know, I follow a basic recipe, but then I always just add junk. You sound humble, too humble. She loves it. What's the most, like the hardest part of being married to Joe Diffy? Um, sometimes if we're like at a family dinner at like Chili's and Smyrna and, you know, people come up to the table. Because I forget when we're all out with our kids and his mother. Like I forget who he is sometimes. And but everybody's really nice about it usually.
Starting point is 00:54:41 But sometimes it's just kind of like, okay, this is kind of a family moment. You know, wait until we eat our appetizers and then. I'm sorry I did that. That was you. That was you. That was you. I often say, because people will ask me that question, they say, hey, if you see somebody out that, that you know, that is famous or whatever, when is it okay to talk? And the only time that I tell people, maybe you guys can add to this, is I say if they're with their kids or they're eating, like those are really the two times.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I say, if you're a fan of them, God knows I do. Like, if I see somebody I'm a fan of, I'm like, I'm your biggest fan. But again, if they're with their kids, off limits. And if they're eating, like that's a time, that's like a sacred space that you should just wait. Wait till they're finishing. I was with George Jones having dinner one night, and this cracked me up. Of course, he was kidding, but this lady comes over, and we both got her hands full of, I don't know what we're eating, something. And we're eating, and she comes over there and just stands there and looks at us, and George is sitting across her of me.
Starting point is 00:55:34 And she goes, oh, I don't mean to bother y'all, but he goes, well, what are you doing it for then? He's teased and he started laughing. Well, listen, I'm glad you came and you're sitting in and you edited the segment over here. That's crazy. It's good. It's good. All right, all right, all right. Back to you, Joe. Back to you. Back to you. She's more interesting than I am. That's not true. So, let's see. Where do we start? I want to run through memory lane a little bit. If you want to grab those headphones you can or you don't have to, but I'm going to play some of this here. Look, when I, let me do... I met all my wives. The traffic jams are just something when you like about a pick-up playing.
Starting point is 00:56:12 Jam number one. Jam number one. My favorite, though, and I'll karaoke prop me up. Yep. Oh, yeah. Because I like, well, I ain't free to die. I like the slow part. And then it goes, boom, boom, boom.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Like, this is one of them. You tickled out how geeky I am, Joe? No, that's great. Pop me up beside the two barns. I'll sing the other night. You know what made, I was listening to, we went to actually, we were on spring break. I'll make this quick. We went to, we were on spring break.
Starting point is 00:56:41 We went to our friends of the Martins were doing a concert. And so we just took off over there, went to this church and listened to them. And, you know, it was a tear invoking because just sometimes, and I was talking to my wife about it and my daughter. And I was like, you know, sometimes it doesn't even the words that affect me. It's just the harmony or the sound, the beauty of something, you know. But I think that's what music does to people. It makes you feel things, you know. And that song, it's funny with that song, like that song gives you both.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Because, again, the beginning of it, you know, and I don't have the beginning of song. But it's the slow. Yeah. Well, I ain't free to die. It's a th. and then it's all the way up. Then it goes right into it. Then it's right into it.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Man, that video was awesome. We had fun doing that one, man. We had the dead guy in there. Yeah. Yeah. In John Deer Creek on a hot summer night. Take it, Amy. He wrote Billy Bob of Charlie.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Hey. So on that way, tell me about that song. Like, where were you in life? When you heard that song, what does it remind you of? Well, okay. When I first heard it, my producer was his name Johnny Slate, and he passed away a couple years ago. But he brought this song to him. We've been listening to a bunch of songs.
Starting point is 00:57:55 And I don't know if you're familiar with Dennis Lindy, who wrote the song. Well, Dennis had a very eclectic way of – he did all his own demos and sang them. And so when I first heard John Deere Green, I hated it. Really? Really? Really? It had a juice heart. It was like, don, da, do, do, do, dear.
Starting point is 00:58:10 And then it was like, they were far from kids way down in Dixie. And I said, this is a piece of crap right here, you know. My producer, hey, he said, just don't me. I've grown since, though. I have actually literally requested all of Dennis Lindy's demos before because I love him so much. But anyway, so my producer said, just listen through it, man. And they said, pay attention to the words. And I swear, man, that has been, that's my most requested song all the time.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Yes. Wow. I think I'm going to play that one right now then for a second. Here's John Deere Green from Joe Diffy. The Friday Morning Conversation with. Joe Diffey. Here with Joe right now. Here's another one that I love.
Starting point is 00:58:47 I learned all the words. I don't know if as a kid, there was ever a song you just studied the words too. Like you were like, I want to know every word of the song. For me, it was third rock. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I printed all the words out. Did you really? Learned all. The two songs I really did that which was this one and Bear Naked Ladies one week because they're both just so wordy. And I wanted to be the guy, Joe. That when it came on on the radio?
Starting point is 00:59:10 You could do it. I could do it and they'd be like, dang. But I didn't know I've studied for hours I'd be like I'd be like I was just listening to Kiss the 96 So natural Yeah it's just so natural
Starting point is 00:59:19 Yeah welcome to earth third rock from the sun Do you still play that one too? All the time Welcome to Earth Rock It's opening song Yeah I bet that gets them going
Starting point is 00:59:27 Huh? Yeah I always like that song You know What do you think about that one? I just thought to me It just seemed like a mini movie In my head
Starting point is 00:59:37 That's what I kind of envisioned it as It just had But it is wordy You're right Because I feel like even when I was singing in the car, I get out of breath. Right. You have to breathe exactly right on some of those.
Starting point is 00:59:48 Do you have spots where you'll take a breath because you know you got to take a breath right here? Absolutely. Welcome to a little. And when you get to like a place with some elevation to it, it kind of changes your whole world because all of a sudden you're breathing in places you don't normally breathe. Then you get like too much air in there and you can't get it out. It's awful. But yeah, it does it.
Starting point is 01:00:07 You have to think about it. Joe Diffy is here. How about this one? This is the number one song for you. Home. Oh, my. Which, for me, I don't feel like this one gets kind of the respect that it deserves. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 01:00:22 It's just such a great, well-written song, you know, and it's just, I don't know, just, I actually, when I first had that song, I had heard it and we put it on whole, as we did call it, you know, and to record it. And so it was like several months in between, a year or so before we actually started recording. and so I had kind of honestly kind of forgotten about it and again my producer said what do you think about this one I said I don't know kind of gotten tired of it because I'd listen to it a million times
Starting point is 01:00:52 so he said let's listen to it again so we've played it and I just I got tears in my eyes and I said okay let's do it then if that makes me feel that way so always reminds me seriously of home though you know Oklahoma? Yep yep how you feel about Oklahoma? I love Oklahoma yeah it's a great place to be from great great people there my mom still lives there
Starting point is 01:01:10 My dad just passed away this past Thanksgiving, so my sister lives there, one of them. Near Tulsa? Ashley, my sister lives in Oklahoma City. My mom lives in a little town called Velma. That's where I kind of spent my last couple of high school years there in Val. How big is Velma? About 2,500 on a good day. Okay, I'm from town of 700.
Starting point is 01:01:32 So it's like, yeah, like we finally got a dollar general right outside of town. Oh, dude. We have one. What's that one they just built? Family dollars. The family dollar. He's got one of those. Really?
Starting point is 01:01:42 Yeah. It's a big deal. That's a big deal. You don't have to drive all the way to town doing some stuff. Because that was always the thing for us is you had to go to town. Yeah. And if somebody went to town, they would go and let the houses next two or three houses over. Be like, hey, we're going to town.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Right. Do you need anything? Do you need anything. Yeah. Yeah. I like this. Joe Deaf and are bonding over stories, Amy. This is the coolest thing.
Starting point is 01:02:00 What town were you from? I'm from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. Okay. Population 700. Salute. Yeah. As your hometown, they're proud of you? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:10 man, it's like every time I go there, they always come drop by and visit and hang out. And my mom's a little, you know, not getting around as well. So I have a couple of friends that they go over and take care of her all the time and they make sure, you know, if she needs anything down at the house or whatever. So, yeah, it's in they, one of my friends actually had a sign built Valma, home of Joe Diffey. And it's pretty cool, you know. That's cool. Yeah. Well, when was it for you, Joe, that you go, oh, man, this is actually.
Starting point is 01:02:40 actually big and it's happening right like at what point in your career because you have all of these songs that's a good i don't know like where did you when'd you go holy crap like this is actually happening yeah i guess after you know my main home was my first song and it and it went to number one and i was still just didn't really believe it you know and then my second song was called if you want me to and it went number one and i thought well hey maybe you got something going here i don't know so it took took a couple of songs in before i kind of realized it, you know. And what was the, while it was happening, what was the biggest one?
Starting point is 01:03:14 Oh, gosh, I don't know. Probably, I can't even. I don't know. There was almost like a pop culture, country pop culture phenomenon. Because for me, again, whenever prop me up came out, because it was all, it was, I would watch it on CMT, I would listen to it on the radio, it was just, it was kind of 360 in my life. Well, I just never will forget being here, being in Nashville, and
Starting point is 01:03:38 and punching the dial to the three major stations here. And the same song was on all three stations at the same time. Oh, wow. That kind of freaked me out, you know. But you remember what song it was? If you want me to. Oh, man. Come on.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Joe Diffy is here. And he's going to play us a song. Who's your guitar player over here? This is my guitar player, William Bagley. Bagby. Bagby. You guys both have your guitars. Is it cool playing for Joe Diffy?
Starting point is 01:04:06 Yes, sir. Yeah, right? One of the only country gigs left. Yeah, I'd probably look at him in the middle of the show and just stop playing and just watch him. That'd probably get fired because I wasn't playing. William was 20 years old, man, just kind of a pheno. He's a great player, great singer too.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Let me say this before you play. That you have a lot of sure. Joe is playing until November. If you see Joe out and he's playing, you should go watch him. Everywhere from, I mean, where can they, can these on your website, Joe? Yeah, you can go to Joe diffi.com and you can find them on there. Look at this. Joe diffi.com.
Starting point is 01:04:36 I'm thankful for her. for that too, you know, be able to work. Because I love doing it, you know, it's not a job to me. It's the travel part's a bit of a job, but the singing part is fun, you know. What show do we just play together? What was that? We were at the rhyme. I just remember we were saying.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Oh, was the legend, what was it called, the country, the legends of country? Oh, yeah. Country Legends and I was playing and you were just introducing me. That's right. I'm just kidding. Joking. Total opposite of that. I think the last time I actually saw you, though, was that the,
Starting point is 01:05:07 after the CMA Awards at an after party thing. Yeah. With the wall of donuts. Dude, can you believe that wall of donuts? No. It was unbelievable. And I think I've seen everything.
Starting point is 01:05:17 I'm so jaded. I've seen everything until I saw the wall of donuts. That's like, holy crap. The thing was eight feet tall and had sticks and it was just covered in donuts. Covered in all kinds of colored donuts, you know. That's what Joe and I talked about, donuts. Joe Diffie is here. I'm going to play a little bit of some of this new stuff in a second, too.
Starting point is 01:05:32 But what are we playing here, boys? Well, I played, last time I was on your show, I played pro. me up because you know you liked it. So this time I'll play a pickup man. Oh, come on. Love that. We'll give her a shot. It's a little early. Here you is. Joe Diffy. All right, here we go. It is lower. Hey guys. So because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can go to bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision. But I just wanted to keep you up and
Starting point is 01:06:01 and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now. And thank you for listening to the show. And sorry about all the legal stuff. Hey, I want to play a little bit of this. I got this. Tell me about this show. Oh, I wrote this a couple buddies.
Starting point is 01:06:18 And it's just a song. Just kind of wanted to write something talking about us as Americans and friends and communities. It's not that noble. But it's just something to kind of give you that feeling. Like, hey, I got your back if something goes wrong or you need a helping hand on something. So that's kind of where the idea originated from. I can hear some more. I'm playing it right now.
Starting point is 01:06:45 If you want to quit you. Quit you. Yeah. Yeah, that's a cool sign. It's the only song I've ever gotten from an outside sort. You know, people are always sending you songs, you know. And usually they're not very good, honestly, you know, get them from just, I mean, not Nashville's songwriters, you know. And that's the only one I heard.
Starting point is 01:07:08 And I said, well, dang, that's actually pretty good. So, yeah. What about all the ones I sent you? Well, I love those. Okay, good, good, good. I'm saving them for that big epic album that I'm going to do. Yeah, good, good. Let me listen to Quay you for a second.
Starting point is 01:07:23 Thank you. That is a good one. Thank you. Did you ever think about moving back home or you moved to Nashville? Did you ever get a struggle where you're like, I don't know if I can do this? When I very first, yeah, when I very first came here back, way back when 80, six or something like that. I was here for about three months, and I had gotten, you know, I worked in Oklahoma at this
Starting point is 01:08:08 foundry, like for nine years where they shut the plant down, laid us all off. So I was drawing unemployment there for a while. I was making $192 a week, right? So I moved to Nashville. I get a job, and I don't want to disparage them, so I won't say the name. But I worked all week at this place, like busting my tail, doing this deal, moving one, and this merchandise from one end of the warehouse at the other end and sorting it all out.
Starting point is 01:08:34 I got my first check. It was $176. It was less than you were drawing. Less than I was drawing on unemployment. I was like, oh, dude, I don't know if I can do this or not. So I did actually. It was near Christmas time when I drove back home. And my dad, he's like, look, you know, he said, nobody says it's going to be easy.
Starting point is 01:08:49 He said, but why don't you go back and stick with it and give it a shot and, you know, pursuing music. And the best advice I ever got was, you know, do something every day towards your music, you know, and so I thought, I took that to heart. I literally had times when one, I remember one night I went to bed and I thought, crap, I haven't done anything. So I got out of bed and played my guitar for 10 minutes just to say I'd done something, you know, so it worked out. I would say it worked out. I definitely would. Joe Diffy. Check out, quit you and check out, I got this, some new Joe Diffey up there.
Starting point is 01:09:25 And then, you know, they keep downloading these songs that you wrote. I know. You keep, you know, checks keep coming out. Right. Those four-cent checks keep just, they're maxing out, man. But 10, four-cent checks is 40 cents, Joe. Then you got something. And Joe's on the road.
Starting point is 01:09:40 Check out joadiffy.com. And so many shows, from Florida to Texas, Louisiana, California, Kentucky. You're all over the place. We're covering everywhere. Colorado, you go out west a little bit. Yeah. Go see Joe. Good guy.
Starting point is 01:09:54 We have fun, man. Unless he's at Chili's with the family. and Joe don't even care I don't care But you know what People say Don't that bother them I'm like now not really
Starting point is 01:10:03 I mean Because I said it'd be more worried If nobody knew I was You know So no that's I'm always Honestly I mean

Starting point is 01:11:38 Who do you think since this was up? Jimmy Buffett? No Okay, look at us Over the water Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down Oh, oh, oh, Adam Dirtz Now Adam Dirtz is counting crows late today
Starting point is 01:11:57 Okay, it's another person like that though, right? I don't know what that means. I wouldn't compare these two. I would have a band. Is he from a band? I'll tell you what, this person has opened for us, the raging idiots before. Oh, from, I have it on the tip of my tongue. He's in a band.
Starting point is 01:12:15 It's a band. Come on. It's Uncle Cracker. That's it? Yeah. Uncle Cracker. He's just Uncle Cracker. Yeah, but it sounds like Adam Dirt's band.
Starting point is 01:12:26 And counting grows? Yeah. Number one, 15 years ago today, Catch your song was when the sun goes down. Still the jam, by the way. When the sun goes down. The biggest pop song. Yeah, Usher. They still play this.
Starting point is 01:12:40 So good. The two times I went to the club, they still play this in the whole place. And on the Friday morning dance party. Yeah. It was number one for 12 weeks. It's Yeah, Usher, featuring Lil' John and Ludacris. In pop culture, the thing that happened this week in 2004 is Rebecca Romaine Stamos and John Stamos announced they're separating after five years of marriage.
Starting point is 01:13:06 And I remember watching that going, but they're separated. TV makes me think that they love each other. He's best known as Amy? Uncle Jesse. Hey, yeah. Her full house, yeah. And she played Mystique in the X-Men movies.
Starting point is 01:13:20 They met at a Victoria's Secret fashion show where she was a model. Wow. I mean, if you can listen. I know, what a lie. No, to pull that to go up to one of the fashion models at the show and be like, to go to a fashion show. Smart. It's a baller.
Starting point is 01:13:32 and then get one of them. Crazy. You must be so good looking. Did Tom Brady do that too? Yeah. How did Tom meet Giselle? Anybody know? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:13:43 I don't know. But, Amy, I can tell you, in my life, I have never been into a place and just had a girl be like, oh, swoon. I have to wear them down. Like, I have to meet them. That's why I don't do well in places where the music's like this. They're like, hey, how are you doing? Hey, Ben, Ben, Dennis. I don't thrive in environments like that.
Starting point is 01:14:06 Yeah, you need other ways to shine. Yeah, I need for there to be a quiet atmosphere where I can be witty. John Samuels have to be witty. He probably showed up and this was playing. He did that little finger motion. We're like, come here. And then they get married. Like, I never go into a place.
Starting point is 01:14:22 I just want once to walk into a place and a girl be like, ooh, who's the cute guy with the real darkroom glasses? That never happens? Huh? That never happens? Eddie, not once. Not once. Have I went into and somebody to be like, I wonder who that guy is over there with the real wheezery looking glasses.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I bet you he's a real treat. He's kind of big head. Wow. He's kind of awkwardly skinny and I'm into that. That's never happened to me in my entire life. Wow. And John Stamos just walks into Victoria'sic Fashion Show and goes home to Rebecca Homain Stamos. And that's what happened to Tom Brady.
Starting point is 01:14:59 They met through a mutual friend. and Giselle said, the first time I saw that smile, I was like, that is the most charismatic smile I've ever seen. Nobody ever saw my smile. No. And went, that's the smile I need to be with. Like, it takes me sometimes weeks to wear someone down to, like, be into it. Wear them down.
Starting point is 01:15:15 Yeah. That's what it is. They don't come parading in. There's this girl I kind of like now a little bit. Oh, who is she? And I'm like, I'm working her. Tell us more about her. No.
Starting point is 01:15:28 No. No. There's not, it doesn't need to be said. just telling us, Amy knows who she is. I'm working her. And you know, what do you mean about working her? Like, what are you doing to wear that down?
Starting point is 01:15:39 He's wearing her now. I got to, listen. What are you doing over there? That's not all the tricks. Yeah. You got to be super funny on text. Oh, wow. Like, you have to be, because.
Starting point is 01:15:49 Like, you're really thinking that hard before you send a text or just like natural wit. It's natural, but you really have to do a good job. And text is tough because you can, translations are different. Yeah, so hard. you gotta make sure that, like, I send a lot of eggplant emojis. Oh, you're going that?
Starting point is 01:16:05 No. No, no, I'm just kidding. I don't send any egg plant images. That's the weird down you're talking about. But yeah, it's like, you know, we've been out a couple times, and it's like you just got to be super present and super. And then eventually they go, oh, I kind of, I do like this guy. Okay, but do you feel like being super present in the beginning is a little misleading? Excuse me?
Starting point is 01:16:26 You're trying to be super present. And I'm just like, I don't know if that's. It's false. Wow. No. But? I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something that this person did.
Starting point is 01:16:37 It's the only thing I'm going to say about this girl now because I don't know how long it's going to last. Again, I am dating unapologetically at this point in my life. Right? Yeah. I was like. And who knows? And sometimes I will time. I will hold my stories for time.
Starting point is 01:16:51 This could have happened three months ago and I'm just sharing it now. This could have happened yesterday. All my story. I'd never want people to be revealed for who they are. Like when I do them. So who knows? This could happen to be. year ago. But I was like, hey, do you want to come over and we can watch something? And she was
Starting point is 01:17:06 like, yeah, can I bring my laptop and work while we do it? And I was like, oh, this is the greatest thing I ever heard. You're like, I'm in love. I was like, you were men for me and I was meant for you. You bring your computer looking fine. That turns into the Joel song. You were meant for me. And I was meant for you. And you know what? Odds are it won't work out, Why are you saying that? Why would you odds are this? Let me finish. Let me finish this.
Starting point is 01:17:33 Well, that happened a year ago. Odds are nothing. Right. First of all, I could have. Odds are nothing works out. However, you have to fight through the odds because eventually maybe something will. But odds are no relationship that you meet and you start dating and work. Odds are, and they don't.
Starting point is 01:17:47 Most of them don't work. It's such a negative way to look at it. No, no, no. You break up before you can start dating. You don't have to, no, no. It's realistic. You don't have to be realistic all the time. Anyway, back in 2004.
Starting point is 01:17:58 Lunch back Friday. Yeah. Is when he went on the day. Wait, so she came over and y'all watched something and y'all worked on your laptops. That is baffling. You said that. It excited you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:12 What? Yeah. I'm not surprised. That's totally his thing. No, that's what I'm saying, though. That's what's wrong with you. No, it's not like we haven't done other stuff. Oh, that was more.
Starting point is 01:18:20 But I'm just saying, I was like, oh, that's cool. Anyway, that's all I'm going to say for now. So when you're on your computers, do you text each other? Like, hey, what are you doing? No, we're sitting next to each other. That would be funny, though, see. Okay, well, I'll write your comedy note down to my humor book. It would be kind of cute if you texted her.
Starting point is 01:18:35 Yeah. Bobby, who gets women or who got women? Be like, you hungry? Yeah, who got women? Good save lunchbox. What is saying? Who gets women right now? Who makes babies?
Starting point is 01:18:48 I mean, who got the woman. One woman. My one and only. It's 10. Time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So shout out to Kevin Gatlin.
Starting point is 01:19:06 He is the mastermind behind Playtime Adventures. It's an interactive set of bed sheets. Tons of games are on there and lessons for children. Oh, on the sheets? Yeah, all in the sheets. So kids that are lying in hospital beds, they're confined to the bed. They can't get up, get out. Like, there's all the stuff on the sheets.
Starting point is 01:19:25 And how cool is that? What a great idea. So they're entertained from the hospital beds. the comfort of their hospital bed or their home bed or wherever they're confined. I was thinking first it was just for kids who wanted something to do while they were in bed at night, which is a thing also, but kids in hospitals? Yeah. And how about the hospital that they have a bunch of them?
Starting point is 01:19:41 They can always switch them out and it's new games and new stuff. That's a really cool idea. Like, that's a shark tank idea. I know. Yeah. I know you guys always thinking about stuff. Yeah. But that's a good one.
Starting point is 01:19:51 All right. That's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobby Bones. So you went to a. parent teacher conference for both your son and daughter? Yeah, my first one at this new little school that they're at, this like homeschooling thing.
Starting point is 01:20:06 So these are teachers that work very close with them one-on-one. I wonder, this homeschooling thing is weird for me. I went to a public school, obviously. And your kids are going to kind of a homeschool because since they're from a different country, their English wasn't good enough to really get them into a normal school at that level. Yeah, we were, well, we tried. We were at a public school where they have a really good ESL English as a second language program. We weren't advancing as quickly as we thought they should at all.
Starting point is 01:20:34 And we have a school we want them to go to where some other kids from Haiti go. It's a school that's very involved in Haiti. And they're just not at the level. They can't enter at their grade. They would be grades behind where they need to be. So they suggested we tried this homeschooling route. My husband and I both work. We can't homeschool.
Starting point is 01:20:50 So we found this program that we could put them in. So do they kind of elevate them quickly through it if they can to try to catch up? Yeah. I mean, they're only in school. And here's the thing. like they're only in school three and half hours a day and that half hour is lunch. So three hours a day of school, Monday through Friday, and they are already like leaps and bounds from where they were going to school eight hours a day with, you know, just not getting that one-on-one
Starting point is 01:21:14 attention. And I get not everybody can have that. But I'm just super thankful that we found this program because, yes, they're finally, they're excelling and they're bumping up great levels and they're just, and the teachers like love them. I was nervous. They were going to be like, ugh. There was a few negative things, stuff we could maybe work on. But overall, they said that the kids are a delight to teach and that they're just super proud of them.
Starting point is 01:21:39 So Amy's adopted two children, if you're new to the show. They've been here for, I guess, a year and a half now, huh? Pretty much a year and four months-ish. And so what do they say that was good? Well, Stasheera is really creative and can retain information really well. And I know that about her, too, from her watching, like, Netflix or movies and stuff. Like she can recall a movie scene from anything that she's seen or episode. She knows it was season two, episode 13, and she'll tell you exactly what's going to happen.
Starting point is 01:22:06 Where I could do that same thing. I'm like, I don't really know what happened. And so she's very good, evertaining information. Stevenson, he is really excited to learn. And they said he gets so giddy when he gets something right, which that, and they encouraged us to really praise them at home, that that, especially with Stevenson, that that goes a long way with him. to like if he gets something right like make the biggest deal in the world because then it makes him more eager to want to learn
Starting point is 01:22:31 and so I feel like sometimes I'm a little hard on him at home. What's the biggest struggle? Stevenson's very literal so math is really hard for him because he's not, they said he doesn't get like things conceptually like it's really really hard for him to get like math is like the biggest struggle
Starting point is 01:22:50 and because he can't understand an order of things them and they like oh what are what are them doing instead of what are they doing? Like little things like that. And then also like days of the week. Poor little Stevenson. We can't get Monday through Sunday.
Starting point is 01:23:06 He still struggles the days a week. Today's Tuesday. What was yesterday? It's more like past and present that he's struggling with. And so, but again, the teachers offered us comfort. They said it's just because he doesn't have a handle on it. Like his brain isn't quite there yet. So, but he'll get there.
Starting point is 01:23:21 You feel like you got this though a bit? Like with them? Yeah. Yeah. I'm getting excited about it. And when do you think they'll go to public school? I don't know. We're hoping next.
Starting point is 01:23:32 We feel like maybe they'll have to do some of this in the summer and in the fall next year, but then maybe next January we can get them in because I really want them to make friends. You know, I want them to have classmates and have activities at school they can be a part of. They need that. They need friends. Yeah. Well, I appreciate the update. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:51 Parent teacher conference. Crazy. Yeah. I was just hoping, like, we just didn't want to mess up. Like, we didn't know what we were in for. Did he have them wear a suit? Hasn't more a suit in? No, we went normal.
Starting point is 01:24:00 I wore Birkenstocks. Oh. And I was like the cool mom. Anyone in as a gypsy dressed as a gypsy? Who beads? But I did just have had dental work right before I got there. So my mouth was like this. I couldn't feel half of my face, like literally.
Starting point is 01:24:12 And I took a sip of water. And the water was like going down my chin and I didn't even know it. And I'm sure they were like, she's a hot mess. The drunk mom. What do you think about this job here? Snickers M&Ms is offering a summer job tasting candy. I mean, that sounds awesome if I wanted to feel gross. It's a 12-week program, and you go, and it's Mars Wrigley,

A fully paid intern will travel to manufacturing sits, test tastes new flavors, and even make their own batch of chewing gum. It doesn't say how much you get paid. but there's lots of sampling, there's travel, there's the gum, there's working with other interns to coordinate the global Mars volunteer program, lots of social media duties. Company's Chicago headquarters. You've got to be 21 years old and older. Listen, it sounds fun on the surface, but can you imagine how to eat candy every day?
Starting point is 01:25:12 I know. That's what I mean. Like at first it would be fun and then I would feel gross. But it's different candy, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's good. That's a good job. I guess. I like to tell you up for like one hour. Amy, what's going on? Well, tonight's soccer practice, and then we'll just see how the weather holds out. I know if there's going to be a soccer game tomorrow.
