It's I see you.
The guy named Rob Bliss.
He figured out a way to use Amazon Prime to help the homeless.
He uses the two-hour shipping service to send food and necessities directly to people living on the streets.
So he'll go to homeless people and say, hey, what do you need?
And then he says to Amazon and exactly what to look for.
And the courier goes and delivers it right to them.
And so he said, quote, my hope is that people see this and realize their potential to help right away.
And special thanks to Amazon's couriers, all whom delivered the packages with humanity and grace.
so that's pretty cool
because like hey you need a blanket
and he talks to Amazon Prime
and they take the blanket
so I see you to Rob Bliss

so Morgan number two will fill in today.
But Amy's not going to be here.
And I don't know when.
I don't even know if she's coming back.
And I say that with full honesty.
I think she probably will.
But I've spent more time at her house.
I know her son well, and he knows me well, relatively speaking.
Yeah.
So he gets excited to see me.
Her daughter's a little older,
and she just generally isn't excited to see me.
She's not a boy.
Yeah.
And I don't know.
understand 10 year old girls that well, you know? So there, we have our time. Okay. Me and her son
really get along well. And so then we play and I used to take him a gift or something. And then
I go and I talk to Amy and her husband. But I'm, I was over there a couple nights ago for three
and a half hours. And then, whoa, they're good. And then, you know, he's six. So then he'll come in
and just like hide behind something. I want to play hide and see. Okay. But yeah, I know she has the kids.
Like, they're full 100% on.
Wow.
And it's kind of a culture shock to her more so.
Not even about the two cultures, just her life.
Yeah.
It's a different life for her.
Like that.
And she thought it was going to be a little different, like it'd be a little easier.
But, yeah.
It got real quick.
It got, no, you guys all about the stories.
I can't wait to hear it.
Because the airport was awesome when we were all waiting for them.
And then we went to Amy's house that night and had a big party with just like really close friends.
Like 20 people there or so.
It was good.
But that was the part.
It was like,
woo,
it's gonna be amazing.
Woo-hoo!
Right.
And then it got real.
And then the party ended
and it got real.
A couple days later.
Yeah.
And now, Amy will come on,
the show, we'll call her later.
But I told her too.
I said,
I would not be surprised
if you decided you just didn't want to come back.
She will not be in this week.
She will not be in next week.
She will not be in.
I mean,
we're talking about,
I don't know when she,
and I told her that.
You just take time and figure out who you are.
Dang.
Because I don't need you here
not feeling complete.
Either way.
at all or partly?
Like, I'm a friend before I'm a co-worker.
Wow.
So, yeah, I know.
It's crazy.
This is huge.
Yeah, it's crazy.
The Bobby Bones show.
Bobby Bones.
All right, so your positivity, the first one of the year, and Amy is not here.
So, filling in for Tell Me Something Good today is Morgan number two.
Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
All right, positivity time.
Let's go.
I'm going to go first.
So this is pretty awesome, a bunch of truckers.
They call themselves furry hobos and highway heroes.
And what they do is they take animals back to their homes, like these lost animals.
So they're driving across the country anyway.
They put them in their truck and they carry them to their town and then the person meets up with them.
Hey, I get it.
Furry hobos.
I get it.
That's pretty good.
They've reconnected over 400 dogs with people so far.
Wow.
So tell me something good.
Story number one.
Let's box.
You're up.
Haley and Kyle were eating a chick-fil-le.
in Kentucky when there's this homeless man that walks in and he has beat up shoes, holes in him.
And Kyle says, man, I got to do something.
Kyle walks up to him, takes off his boots, gives him his boots, and walks out.
Gives him his boots off his own feet so the homeless man can have new shoes.
Now, Morgan number two, first time ever.
Are you ready over there?
I'm ready.
Here we go.
Tell me something to go Morgan number two.
All right.
So this 54-year-old man was super in love and he was going to do this big weekend for his first time love ever.
and instead of going to do that big weekend, he got called for jury duty.
Oh, no.
So what can happen next?
No, what's going to happen?
But luckily, the judge excused him from jury duty so he could spend the weekend.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
Look at that.
Good job.
Team effort too.
Nice to celebrate.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a good story there.
Tell me something good.
There is.
There we go.
Good work.
This is the Bobby Bones show.
Bobby Bones.
If you go to my Insta story, I didn't sleep last night, maybe 30 minutes overall through the night.
Just because my schedule flips so hard, we're on vacation for two and a half weeks, I start going to bed at 11, then midnight, then 1 a.m., then before I know it, it's almost the sun's coming up.
Like, that's my natural time to go to bed as early in the morning.
and so I might have fallen asleep about 2.45, woke up about 3.15.
But I just spent a lot of time with my Insta story doing songs and my pecks.
Like, I was laying in my bed. I was so bored.
Take a look. Whenever you get a minute. Mr. Bobby bones on Instagram.
But I was doing that. I mean, I was doing everything just this day.
I was going crazy last night. I just could not go to sleep. I watched The Crown.
I'm in season two of the Crown.
huh?
Pretty good.
It's not bad.
It's fair.
The only reason I'm staying with it is because the history part of it is I Google everything
afterward.
And so the Crown is on Netflix and it's really the story about the monarch.
And it's Queen Elizabeth from when she's a kid all the way till now.
But what's crazy is Queen Elizabeth was never supposed to be the Queen.
And I didn't know this because I don't give a flying crap about the King of England,
Queen of England, none of that.
But when you watch it, you realize her uncle was the king and he met a girl who was basically
like a Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian in America.
She was a socialite.
And her uncle was the king,
and he met this girl.
But since she was divorced a couple of times,
some of this stuff may be wrong.
She couldn't marry him.
They couldn't marry each other.
So he left.
He advocated the throne for her
and moved to America.
He gave up being the king,
and he had no kids.
So his brother became the king
and his brother's oldest daughter
was Queen Elizabeth.
So Queen Elizabeth was never supposed to be the queen
because her uncle was not her.
Her uncle was the king.
So I didn't know that.
And the dude basically gave up being the king of England for Paris Hilton.
It was, blew my mind.
And I don't know how it ends.
I don't know if they had together forever because I'm not done.
Now I'm avoiding history because I don't want to ruin a storyline.
Like I'm avoiding looking at what happened in real life history because I don't want to see what happens at the end of the show.
But I'm in season two of the crown.
I watched a bunch of shows.
I traveled a lot, so I just downloaded shows.
Do you watch my...
I'm watching it right now.
This is ridiculous.
What?
My Insta story?
Yeah, you are making your pecs move right now.
I'm doing songs.
You're so dumb.
Dude, you were up all night.
All night.
All night long.
As Lionel would say.
All night, all night.
So, yeah, there's that.
The latest from Nashville in Hollywood.
Amy's 32nd Skinny.
So Pita is blasting Luke Bryan for giving his wife two kangaroos for Christmas.
If you saw the Instagram video, Luke had a bag, and he gave it to his wife, Caroline, and she opened it, and there were two baby kangaroos.
And Peter's upset and says they're ready to help Luke write this wrong and move these vulnerable marsupials to a reputable sanctuary.
That's a lot of big words.
Brothers Osborne will drop a new single this Friday called Shoot Me Straight.
New music from Brothers Osborne, which is pretty exciting.
And it came out Friday.
The record we don't know about it.
Here's the clip of the song that comes out Friday.
Here we go.
There you go.
I'm Bobby filling in for Amy.
That's your skinny.
Yep.
Bobby Bones show.
Bonehead.
Story of the day.
This story comes to us from Philadelphia.
A 36-year-old man saw some tires he wanted on a car and he's like,
I think I'm going to go ahead and steal those.
So he jacked up the car, started taking the wheels off.
Car fell on him and he had to go.
Oh.
Oh.
Whoa.
He had to scream for help.
Oh, no.
So they had to call 911 and they arrested him, but he's in the hospital.
Oh, got him.
It's called karma.
Get it, car.
I bet that's in the article.
There's no way he made that up.
Check the article.
It's in the article.
Okay, that's about that.
He wasn't even giving credit to somebody else.
It's such a fake.
No, I've read.
I've must box.
That's your bonehead story of the day.
everybody.
Transmitting across America.
This is a Bobby Ball Show.
Come on, Bob.
I'm back live today.
The big news is Amy's kids are here in America.
They've been here for a few weeks.
Amy's not here today.
She's still in America, but she's not here.
She won't be here today.
We'll talk to her next hour.
But she won't be back this week.
Probably not next week.
I'll let you figure out what to do without her.
But at the airport, I was there.
A lot of us were there waiting on her.
because they were in Haiti, then they flew to Miami, and then they flew to Nashville.
And this is them when they have her son, her daughter, which they were in the adoption process for five years.
Five years.
And this is just some audio of when they were at the airport walking through.
And so her son loves Justin Bieber Baby, and that's why that song's playing in the background.
They had on speaker.
We had signs up.
I was in Hawaii, because I went to Hawaii, which we'll talk about later.
but I went to Hawaii and I was just working on finishing this book and it was warm and I went by
myself and Amy said we're coming back sooner than I thought so I had to jump on a plane and
try to kind of jigs back and forth and get back to Nashville and that's not an easy thing to do
just had to like take two different airlines fly I wasn't going to miss it and I wasn't coming back
here I was going to go and stay in Texas because I wasn't going to it's cold I feel like you just made it on time
Oh, I flew in because I flew to California and flew all the way overnight.
And three hours later, they were here.
Crazy.
It was crazy.
But I won money, too.
Who's got the money?
What?
Hey, Ray.
Oh, no.
Do you have the money?
Yeah.
Did you hit that date?
See, you knew.
You had to have known.
I would say that I would have bet on that too if I hadn't picked other days way after.
I'd pick like two other days weeks later.
How much did you win?
I don't know.
You won 110?
10 and people still have to pay. Here's 80.
Who hasn't paid? You can't let... El Bizzle.
Okay, I need the 30 bucks a day
because he won't pay. There's 80.
You hit December 20th is when they're in Miami.
Okay, you're the bouncer for the money. Yeah, you're the bookie, dude. You have to collect.
All right, thank you. But this is mostly just my money.
Cannot believe you want. No, there's 20 bucks of mine.
Yeah, but I'm just saying. I bought so many days.
So, yeah, so they're back. Amy's back, and we went and had a party at her house that night.
You guys weren't there. We weren't there. And I felt.
Subtown.
Really bad.
I texted her and said,
I'm sorry,
I'm on my way to Texas.
I'm not going to make it.
I wish I could be there.
But how many people showed up?
Because I felt like...
To our party at the house?
No, no, no, to the airport.
A lot.
Probably 40.
That was amazing.
It was crazy.
So at the airport,
and there were people flying in, too.
Because I had to fly...
Again, I cut my vacation short
because there was no way
I was going to miss Amy with their kids.
It wouldn't matter where I was.
I was coming back.
I had the flexibility.
I had the flexibility.
I had any kids.
So I had the flexibility.
I, but like, Phillips from Little Big Town was there.
He was there?
Yeah, because Amy, I mean.
Yeah, no, but so many people follow this.
We're friends with Philip on a personal level, probably more than the others.
Amy and Phillips' wife are really close.
Okay.
So, they were there.
I mean, it was everybody you could think of, really.
Except for you two.
Yeah, I know.
Hey, some of us were out of town.
What can we do?
We couldn't make it.
I know.
I felt bad.
Mike D was there.
Yeah.
Hey, I know.
I watched it.
Live is just like, man, why?
And I just told Amy, too, I'm going to be there.
I will be there 100%.
Well, you didn't 100% it.
Wow.
At night, we all went over to our house, and it was probably 30 people.
It was all close.
I didn't feel awkward.
Usually I'm a party guy.
I hate small talk.
But it was very close friends.
And these kids, they came from an orphanage in Haiti, and they come to America,
and they're people greeting them.
the airport, and then they go to their house.
Yeah.
And it's, ah!
They're like the Beatles.
They just think every day in America is going to be an awesome party.
Food, music!
And so it's all close friends.
And some of our close friends are musicians.
So everybody was pulling out guitars.
I saw y'all had a jam session.
I was trying not to be a part of it.
I don't want to be part of anything musical when real music people.
Sure. But Eric Passley was there.
Yeah.
He has to play.
And he wrote Barefoot Blue Gene Knight, the Jake Owen thing.
Yeah.
So he plays Barefoot Blue Gene Knight.
And Steve Mochler was there.
And Steve Mochler was an artist.
And Steve played Miley Cyrus Party in the USA.
Nice.
And Walker Hayes was there.
And Walker played Justin Bieber Baby, right?
And two of his kids sang with him.
And Amy's kids sang.
And then we did Namaste because his kids wanted to sing Namestay.
It was fun.
It was good.
So, and Amy's now in the real world now, and we'll talk to our next hour.
But, yeah, she has two kids.
And I went to, I've been to her house a bunch since, just to go by and kind of be seen and then in the kids' lives a little bit.
What do they call you?
They call you something?
Like Uncle Bobby.
Just Bobby.
I don't want to be called Uncle Bobby.
Okay.
That feels creepy.
Anything with Uncle.
I never want to be called Uncle.
Uncle anything.
How they always get a batter out?
They do.
I don't, if I grow a single mustache.
And be called Uncle.
You can call me Uncle Bobby.
And until then, let's...
Uncle Bob.
Until then, let's not.
So, but that's how it went down a little bit.
But we'll let Amy talk a little later, too.
So a guy was ready for New Year's, and he put the champagne bottle between his legs.
And so he was trying to pull the top of it off.
You know, it's boom.
Into the cork.
And so he squeezes his legs on it.
Starts pulling as hard as he can, and the bottle exploded.
In between his legs.
legs. Yeah. The glass goes everywhere. It went into his artery. Oh. Yeah. He's in critical condition.
And no way. The bottle just went, boom. The doctors say that champagne injuries peak hard.
One, because lots of people are drinking champagne during New Year's. And two, powerful corks. And when you get a lot of people that aren't familiar with powerful corks and they're messing up powerful corks, but the bottle exploded between his legs.
He's lucky.
I don't know if it hurt his man stuff.
Yeah, it's pretty close if it's between his legs.
But it shot into it.
Dang.
I saw a video on Instagram of a girl pulling out the top of a cork,
and she's like, the New Year, and it goes, boom, it shoots it right in the face.
Anybody else see that?
You see that?
Did you laugh hard?
I shouldn't.
I shouldn't do that stuff's funny anymore.
I laugh so hard.
We're talking about New Year's Eve, and the guy was pulling the cork off a champagne bottle,
and the whole thing explodes.
He's in the hospital.
fireworks explode inside of a car in Houston.
Cars packed full of fireworks for New Year's Eve,
and someone walks up and throws a lit firework into the car,
and the car explodes.
Because the fireworks are shooting off inside the car.
Here's some audio.
That's inside a car.
Yeah, the trunk.
That's not Ryan Seacrest going, here it is.
That's inside a car.
Yeah.
And these people are loving it.
They shouldn't love it that much.
They should be, oh.
They should be running away?
The fireworks burnt and destroyed the entire interior of the Dodge Charger.
Fire scene smoke.
I shouldn't be so entertained by it because I knew nobody was hurt
and the car wasn't going to explode.
I was laughing like that personally.
Yeah, yeah, well, sure.
And we're watching a video.
We're not there.
Yeah, turn, turn, turn, turn.
Man, New Year's Eve was a huge party for everyone but me.
Darius Rucker texted me last night.
said, I'm watching Black Mirror because I was reading your tweets.
How you like it?
He goes, man, this goes messed up.
Black Mirror is a show on Netflix.
It's basically the new Twilight Zone.
And you watch a season, but none of the episodes have anything to do with each other.
Yeah.
I said, have you watched White Bear yet?
That one's crazy.
From one of the early ones?
He's like, no.
He thought this was season one.
They just started on season four.
Yeah, Netflix, you just pushed start and started on the new season.
Yeah.
But yeah, he's getting into that.
That's crazy stuff, dude.
That Black Mirror?
I can't do it.
But I watched that and I watched the crown, which I'm not done with.
And I watch Handmaid's Tale.
Yeah.
That Handmaid's Tale may be one of the best shows I've ever seen.
Are you serious?
It's in the future.
I like post-apocalyptic shows where you have to figure out what's happening with life after it all shuts down.
It's really dark.
And I wouldn't recommend it to anybody because I wouldn't want to come back going.
I can't believe me to watch that because it's really dark.
But it's good.
So I watched that mostly on vacation when I would take a break from vacationing.
I'm not much of a vacationer
in Hawaii
I bet that was tough for you
watching Netflix in Hawaii
I don't know anyone else like you
I worked
probably 60% of the time
watched TV in the room
friends on TVS or shows
Did you at least keep the windows open
to see that you were in Hawaii
To see the ocean?
Because I was on the beach
But I was by myself
And I did things
Because my therapist said hey
Every day go out and do a couple things
That you would normally do
I did some stupid stuff
Once I'll tell you one story
I got off the elevator and I went to my room.
And I was like, I couldn't get in my room.
Because you know sometimes you're key in a hotel.
If it gets near your credit card.
Oh, yeah, the demagnetizes.
You'll lose the magnet.
Yes.
So it won't beep on the door.
And it's so frustrating because you're at your room.
My hotel was on like the 15th floor.
My room was.
And you know how you get off the elevator and just walk right to your room.
Yeah.
Muscle memory after about the third day.
Yes.
So I'm at the day and I'm, and all of a sudden I hear someone inside my room.
I know.
So I'm like, someone's in my room.
freaking out. I'm like, oh, goodness. And they come
and they open the door and they like, excuse me. And it was like a
woman in her like a 40s and normal clothes.
Then there was a kid behind her running around.
Oh. I was on the wrong floor.
I got off the elevator just because it opened.
You know, sometimes you just open
and you just walk off. Yeah.
You think, well, this must be my floor.
They got you. And I walked right off. Muscle memory
right to that spot. I was like the seventh floor.
She had to be like what, and I was like,
sorry, wrong room, ran right back to the elevator.
Yeah.
It was not...
She'd probably call security right after that.
Not a pleasant thing.
It scared the crap out of me too, man.
I have a lot of those stories.
But yeah, when I saw that kid behind her,
I knew something went around.
Yeah.
That kid looked like you?
No, okay.
He did not.
Okay, wrong floor then.
I believe he was an Asian kid.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because Hawaii does that because it's right in between
American Japan, I think?
Does that?
What do you mean?
No, Hawaii's crazy.
Did you notice this when you're in Hawaii
that at night all the Asians are up?
shopping and during the day all the Americans are out.
Well, it's just because their clocks are different.
Yeah, and that's like where we meet.
Like, on the other side of Hawaii is Asia and it's America on the other side, but we live
different clocks.
It's the closest to the Pacific.
Yeah.
Yes, but they have a, yes.
Stop it.
Okay.
Stop it.
Stop while your head, Eddie.
Check it to see if you notice that.
Never going to get it.
According to a recent survey, this is the number one thing people wish they could write off
on their tax return.
Eddie?
I got it.
Netflix.
Ooh.
Give me that write off.
the bell.
Oh, really?
No, not it.
Lunchbox.
It's easy.
Bar tab.
No.
Let's see.
What do you have,
Mike and Jackson, Mississippi?
How you doing?
Good, buddy.
What do you think it is?
I think it's going to be
the gas you put in your car
and go to work.
I think you can in some instances,
if you're driving.
Yeah, like if it's a work vehicle.
Yeah.
Or if you're driving your own vehicle
for work specifically.
Get out.
Yeah, if you're doing deliveries.
But no, that's not.
that's not it, Mike. Sorry, buddy.
All right. Well, I appreciate it.
Hey, how you doing, by the way?
I'm doing wonderful, man.
We got to work after a bit of a week off on vacation.
Did you come back today for the first time or Monday or Tuesday?
Yesterday, actually. Yesterday.
I appreciate you listening to us, man.
Oh, yeah.
Well, thanks to you. Talk to you soon. Have a good day.
Allison, you want to take a shot at this?
What do you think it is, Allison? The number one thing.
Food or eating out?
Eating out, she says no.
And that is not it.
That would be nice, too.
it would be. The answer is Starbucks coffee.
Oh.
Nobody got it.
Not this time.
This is a Bobby Bonds show.
Bobby Bonds.
You see the guy in Jeopardy yesterday?
No.
Hilarious.
So he goes on and they ask him a question.
It's one of those where you have to put the two answers together.
So here.
A song by Culeo from Dangerous Minds goes back in time
to become a 1667 John Milton classic.
Nick, what is gangster's paradise lost?
Yes.
Okay, so he combined the two answers.
Gangsters, Paradise, and Paradise Lost.
So there you go.
He gets the money.
Then they come back later on the show.
Our judges have re-evaluated one of your responses a few moments ago, Nick.
You said gangsters instead of gangstas on that song by Curio.
So we take $3,200 away from you.
So you are now in second place.
Lisa, you have the lead.
Big swing!
Nerdy white dude.
He looks like me up there.
My like, is it gang.
Hairnice?
Apostrophe S.
I felt like his nerd accent could have been the reason he said it wrong, not him just knowing the answer.
Oh.
But they said they defined it two different ways.
The Jeopardy website says, gangsta and gangster have two separate definitions, and they couldn't accept that.
Yeah?
What's the real title?
Gangsta.
Yeah, well, there you go.
That's the right answer.
But gangster, when you're nerdy, that is the accent.
You know?
Too much television watching got me chasing dreams.
I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
Got my tin in my hand
And the gleaming my eyes
He ended up with 15,000
He didn't win
He didn't win, right?
Like he didn't win?
15 grand, it's not bad
Do you get to keep that money?
Yeah
Not if you get second place
Really?
He may have been a returning champion
Maybe he won that game
But luckily it didn't cost him to win
He ended up with $15,000
And he won by $400 but he did not win last night
I guess he did.
Why would you go on a game show
You're not going to win?
Well, he tried to win.
Yeah, but the second place should take all the money.
No, that's how it works.
No, no, you don't get all the money.
No Amy today, so I'm doing the skinny.
Bobby Bonesh.
The latest from Nashville in Hollywood.
Amy's 32nd Skinny.
Luke Bryan's new single is Most People Are Good.
I believe most people are good, and most mamas ought to qualify for sainthood.
I believe most Friday nights look better underneath, on her stage.
He said he hopes people will believe in people again.
That's why the song is a single.
He liked that.
There you go.
He also bought his wife two kangaroos for Christmas.
I was watching his Instagram.
And so it starts at a weird angle because he's in pajamas and you can see his...
Uh-oh.
Did you see the video?
No, I've not seen that.
Now I don't know if I want to go see it.
Go look at it because maybe I've only one of his thought.
But you don't see the pajamas.
But then he hands his wife a little bag and she opens and it's got two kangaroos in it.
And now Pete is upset him.
And they're like, we'll take them back and we'll put them in a good place.
He's going to take him back.
No, no, no, Pete has said that.
Oh, that's what they're saying.
So what's he going to do?
He'll probably keep him.
So that's Luke's new song.
Brothers Osborne, they have a new song coming out Friday called Shoot Me Straight.
This is a clip of that new Brothers Osborne that's coming out.
One of my buddies wrote this song with them.
It's a good song.
It's a new record.
Hey, do I have this song?
Is this the full song?
Yeah.
How do I have it?
It's already in the system.
Oh, it is?
Is it up for,
is it up to like download and stream?
Heck yeah.
I don't think it is, right.
If we have it in our system.
No, no, I don't think you're right.
Like, you shouldn't be so for sure about something if you don't know.
We never have access to stuff until it's ready to rock and roll.
Morgan, number one.
It's available for download Friday.
Yeah, I didn't think it was available today.
It's available to play.
Okay, go to iTunes or Apple Music or Spotify.
It's not up until Friday.
Hey, do me a favor
And just before you give things
The absolute definition
Like look it up
I thought you were just talking about playing it
I didn't know the specific
Oh stop it
He's going back now
This is the new brother's Osborne song
That's what we have to get on lunchbox all the time
That's that look
To let me down easy smile
Oh, that's like I couldn't see
You're coming for a hundred miles
Don't try to find a purple words
Can't take the pain out of her
Hit me hard
Baby, I can take it.
It's your move.
Go on.
Make it burn.
A whole way down.
Risk.
Shoot me straight.
Yeah.
We're supposed to have this.
It's a jam.
It ain't my fault with a jam.
I got to friends.
Go away somehow.
Okay.
I better not play all of it because I don't know if I'm supposed to have it.
That's good, man.
It's the jam.
They're awesome.
Yeah, that's good.
So now that it's 2018, here's some state laws that went into effect.
In South Carolina, residents can no longer own exotic pets like Siberian tigers, apes, or polar bears.
Because you could.
Wow.
But 2018, no.
Who would have known?
In Illinois, judges will start considering the welfare of cats, dogs, and other pets during custody disputes and divorces.
Wow.
That's part of the law now.
In Florida, parents who are not married have to do homework.
They're required to submit a shared parenting time plan to the court.
I like that.
And then at Tennessee barbers can now make house calls.
Until now in Tennessee barbers could only visit sick clients.
Now barbers can literally take their business to houses.
Oh, that's cool.
I mean, that's got to be the next thing, right?
Yeah.
Because everything can be delivered to you.
Amazon.
Food.
Massages.
I always worry, because these guys come in my house to deliver this Uber eats.
And if you don't have Uber where you live, Uber's amazing.
You get in the car.
They take you somewhere.
You don't have to pay them.
It just goes on your phone.
like magically money comes from somewhere
I don't even know where it comes from
like Las Vegas
Yeah it's not real money
Yeah yeah I just take all the rides
It doesn't matter
So Uber you get it and takes you somewhere
Uber eats is like the same people
But they are going to pick up the food
And bring it to you
And they just hand it to you
And away they go
So I Uber eats all the time
But I feel like if I don't tip them after they leave
They tell their friends where I live
And they come rob me
And it hasn't happened because I always tip them
Yes
But I feel like as soon as I don't
Like when I open the door
to take the food, they always look in.
Oh, look at, see what's in there.
How big is that TV?
And I think they're just sizing it up.
Or if I don't leave a tip afterward,
they send one of their buddies over and they rob me.
So you recommend everyone just leave a little tip?
Especially on Uber eats because I know where you live.
Like Uber, they don't always know where you live.
Uber from work a lot.
And you can get dropped off wherever you want.
Whatever you want.
Yeah.
So I tell you, my neighborhood, not the best neighborhood.
And as I was gone, I was in Hawaii,
my Jeep got broken into.
saw that.
Yeah.
What happened?
Like, they just ripped it.
Yeah.
And so, and they tried to crowbar the glove box open because it has a lock on it.
Yeah.
And so if you're smart, you don't leave stuff in a Jeep anyway.
Correct.
Because a Jeep, basically a motorcycle, it's like stealing a helmet off a motorcycle.
They're left on the handlebar?
Yeah, it's not that hard to do.
So it's not that hard to get into a Jeep.
So, yeah, they busted on my Jeep.
there was nothing to take
that stinks
but there's some damage
inside the Jeep
not only that
I had packages stolen
from Amazon
that they had dropped off
No way
because I kept wondering
they're like two packages
where are these things
and it turns out
they were stolen
I mean like the nerve
to go up to someone's house
and take a package
yeah I had to get
different cameras
because I have cameras
in my house
but what happens is
you have to
an alarm has to go off
for it to start recording
or it did
now they record
all the time
good
into DVR.
I wish I'd had it.
But I wouldn't have put it on the internet
because then people would know
what I lived.
That's true.
Because I'd love to shame a thief.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm totally into shame and a thief,
but yeah, so I got my Amazon stuff stolen
and my G broken into it when I was in Hawaii.
And that's where I ended up going.
And I was giving you guys clues
the whole time as you were guessing.
I guessed it.
No, you just like love Hawaii.
I do.
I do.
But I was playing this song the whole time.
I didn't even realize it.
Yeah, the Hawaiian is so dumb.
Melikilikimaka is a thing to say.
on a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day
So I went to Hawaii and I went by myself and flew down there
And I worked, I wrote my book and tried to finish it
I think I'm done
But I spent a few days down there
And I've been going to a therapist
You know, I have some psychiatry issues
For how long?
Well, I spent years for a while
But this time I've been going for a couple of months
I really broke after the Vegas shooting
So I started going back
And so I've been going on.
and he said, hey, you should go.
My first time to a male therapist, too, ever.
It's a big step.
I only go to females.
I only feel comfortable with females.
Yeah. You grew up with females.
Grew up, all the people close to me that have any sort of authority.
I put females in all those places because I trust females more than men.
It's so interesting.
So it's the first guy I've been to, and he said, hey, when you go to Hawaii, you're by yourself, go out every day and do something different.
Do something new.
Even by yourself.
Just go force yourself to do something.
And I say, okay, okay, okay.
So I go out.
and the first day I go out and I get one of these stand-up paddle boards.
Yeah.
I don't know anything about the ocean.
I grew up on lakes.
Here we go.
I know anything about the ocean.
So I go out and I get a stand-up paddle board.
And I've seen people stand-up paddle board before.
It looks pretty easy.
Yeah, simple.
Get on there and stand up and take a little paddle and just, well, I'd never seen it on the ocean before.
Yeah, the ocean moves.
I get out there and I'm wiping out.
Like every eight seconds, boom!
And it hurts.
After a while, it hurts.
Yeah.
And so I just can't stay up on it.
And I text Kipmore.
Yeah, the pro.
Yeah.
He's a surfer.
I say, hey, what's the key?
He said, surfing?
I said, no.
Stand up, how to order.
So I think he thought that was funny.
Yeah.
I said, I'm not joking.
He said, just be an athlete.
He said, just let your body.
Just be an athlete.
Like, just let it hit.
So, okay.
So I get up on the board and I'm doing okay, but I can't really stand up.
And I have that.
So the board doesn't go away.
You strap that cord on you.
Yes, the leash.
So when you wipe out, you put the leash.
So I started to look around.
And I see.
I'm like, okay, I can't stay on this board long enough.
I don't look at other people. And they're wearing the leash, too.
Except they weren't on their ankles. I was wearing on my wrist.
Oh, no, no. Phones, come on, dude.
I didn't know, dude. Come on.
So when I wear it on my wrist, it didn't give me enough room.
So I was like pulling me forward.
How embarrassing would it be?
I was humiliated.
Because I know, I was in the shallow with all the kids.
And I had the leash on your ankle.
Yes, you're belker with it.
I had it on my wrist.
Oh, my goodness.
And I was standing up with it.
So you saw the cable.
Oh, no.
Dude.
Yeah, so I never really got up.
You're getting the paddle stuck on the leisure?
No, it was in the way.
I was trying to paddle and the rubber thing was the wrong with you.
So I never really got up.
You never got to ride a wave?
No.
Oh.
And I'd wiped out, so my face hurt from nailing the water.
I had salt all in my throat.
I'm just not water.
What's that whole beach thing?
Yeah, dude, the beach.
It's not for me.
That's not for me.
I cannot believe it.
You didn't like it at all.
I don't like the beach of the ocean, really.
Did you feel like Hawaii was like heaven on earth?
No.
I don't like the beach.
God, dude, that's crazy.
I'd rather just stand my room and watch Netflix and go out and lay in the sand.
I get laying on the sand.
That gets boring.
But man, you didn't like it out in the ocean?
No, not really.
And I always wondered if there were like stingrays or coral on the ground.
It's just not for me.
Pretty girls out there?
No.
No?
I don't know.
I wouldn't even look because why I had my glasses on the water?
This is the truth
Because I'm by myself
You're so embarrassed
You're not
No no
I didn't want to look
Because I couldn't tell ages
Because I could really couldn't see
Oh yeah
That's smart
And I don't want to be staring at the wrong age
Yes
I got you I got you
So I just didn't look at all
And I got me
I kept my head down
That's funny
Amy's on the phone
She's not here today
She's at home
And she's with us now
Are you home by the way?
I'm home
Yeah
What's happening in your life
Right now
at 21 after here in the morning.
Like what's happening right now?
We're sitting here with my son.
He's eating a banana.
You're sitting there with what?
My son.
Oh, your son.
I thought you had your friend.
I was like, dang, you guys gelled quickly.
She's not our buddies.
Okay, so you're with your son.
He's eating a banana.
Okay?
Yeah, and he keeps...
So my husband had to go take our car in early, early this morning.
So normally he's here when he wakes up and he's not.
he sees me on the phone and he keeps pointing at the phone and he's like dad dad so he thinks dad's on
the phone right now tom's bobby and it's bobby yeah
you want to say hi hi bobby hi bobby hi bobby what up buddy how are you oh good too yeah
he said i'm good today yeah we yeah we got it yeah it's awesome okay hey so well he also
has a knothful of banana so i didn't know if you could understand
Oh yeah, we got it. Let me ask you a few questions that I know the answers to, but I think
listeners are waiting to hear from you. So as we were gone, we were away and you brought the kids
back with you to America, were there any hiccups over there where you almost didn't get to
bring them back or was it pretty easy? Yeah, no, I mean, there was like the day we were planning
on leaving. We, I mean, we have flights of books and we were on our way to the airport. Well,
Pretty much, yeah. And then there was like one document we needed. And we were told it was done like 24 hours before that. That's why we booked our flights. And then like in true Haitian fashion, it wasn't done. And we were literally at the office, this like Haitian government office trying to get it signed while we were on our way to the airport. Like if we didn't get it signed, we were just going to have to like cancel our flight. And we almost didn't, you have to get to the airport like two hours early. And then there was traffic. So we almost didn't even make it to the airport. The fact that we didn't even make it to the airport. The fact that we didn't get to the airport. The fact that we were just. We were just
we got it is crazy. Did you cry and freak out or were you just taking it in?
No, I try to be cool, calm, and collected. I try to work my magic at this office. I had been there
two years ago and met this one guy and he walked in and his name is Giam. And I hadn't seen him
in two years. But for whatever reason, I was like, I'm pretty sure that's Giam. And he walked in
and I was like, are you Giam? And he was like, he was like shocked that I remembered who he was.
And then I said, I met you two years ago at this time. And he started kind of like,
talking with them, like working my magic.
You're mad. Oh, my goodness.
So they signed the paper.
He said, when's your flight?
I said, our flight is at 6.45 p.m.
We have to be at the airport at 4.45.
And it's like 415.
And he said, one minute, sit down.
And my husband and I sit down and were like,
TikTok, TikTok.
And then he came back with the signed document.
It was amazing.
So you get here and the airport was loaded with people.
Yeah.
We were all waiting on you with signs and music.
How'd that feel?
Oh, it was crazy.
It's almost like one of those things where I go back and watch videos that other people posted
and that you posted and picture.
Like, to me, it's almost like, you know, they stay on your wedding day.
You don't really remember.
It just seems like a dream.
That's what it feels like.
But I'm so glad that y'all took videos and took pictures because we get to go back
and watch them and be like, my son likes to watch them too and my daughter.
And they're like, whoa, like, what are all these people?
But it'll be important to have those to look at it.
back on two to show them, like, you're loved.
Like, the main thing right now is making sure they know that they're safe here and that
they're loved.
And so that was a really warm welcoming.
Amy's on the phone right now.
She's at her house with her kids.
And so how are they?
They're as good as to be expected.
Our son is a little bit younger.
So he's kind of just, you know, more go with the flow.
Our daughter's 10.
So there's processing.
All of this is to be expected.
You know, it's a transition, and we're just trying to do our best to make sure that they make it for this.
I mean, there's high times, there's low times, but we're just trying to do our best to be there for them so that way they know, like, this is a safe place for them, you know.
Do they know that this is home now?
I think we're still working through that this is, like, legit, you know, permanent.
minute. I mean, they always knew they were coming here, but it's one thing to hear that and kind of
think that and then actually be here and be like, oh, wait a second, are y'all ever dropping us off
back at the orphanage? Because we've done that for so long. So we're just, you know, that's, you know,
for our daughter that's 10, that's a lot of her life that was there. And so, yeah, we met with a Haitian
woman here that lives here in Nashville last weekend, and she speaks Creole and explained a lot to
them and I think it brought them a lot of comfort and kind of for sure understanding that we're
their parents and we're here for the long haul and we love them and this is this is their new home
have you cried more happy tears or frustrated tears?
I mean my husband and I were doing like an over under thing at some point like like
I think just a mixture.
And it's not necessarily frustrating.
It's just sometimes it's just hard.
And I'm sure any new mom can attest to that,
whether you're bringing in adopted children that are going through some transitioning
or you've got a newborn baby that's crying and you don't know why.
And so then you just throw your hands up and cry sometimes.
You know, that's a good point that you make about that because your son
doesn't speak that good English.
Almost none.
So unless he can't really tell you in so many words.
Yeah.
Like his specific emotion or specific thought.
That makes sense?
Yeah, totally.
I mean, it's a, we're working through it.
They understand a lot more English than I thought.
I knew they did.
Even my daughter for sure.
Like, she totally is.
fanbagging on us a little bit.
She totally is in the know.
And, you know, she's 10.
She's got some staff, and then, which I love.
I love that about her personality.
But sometimes I'm like, I know you know what I'm talking about.
She acts like she doesn't.
Is he still near you?
Yeah, he's right here.
Put him on real quick for one second.
Okay.
Stevenson.
It's Bobby.
Bobby.
Bobby.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, you there?
Yeah
Hey, did your mom let you see that video game I bought you?
Yes
Did you play it?
Yeah
Amy's
I'm asleep
Wait what
No, the video game
You get to play it?
Yes
Did you play?
Video game play
All right buddy, I'll talk to you later
Bye bye
Bye
Bye
Bye
All right, Amy
I'll let you get back to it
He still had the phone
What?
I'll let you get back to it
He's smiling really big
What did you say to him
I didn't say anything
Did you offer him more games
Don't worry about what we talk about
You know?
You have to tell his mom dude
No no no no no no
Hey there's Amy
Good to talk to you
I'll let you get back to being a mom
Okay
Okay there's Amy
We'll come back
I have lots of stories to tell you
I'll hold on
Bobby Bones
The Bobby Bones
show. A hiker fell 50 feet. Had to be rescued 12 hours later. It was in Kentucky. She slipped and fell from a 50-foot
height. A couple had stopped. She'd take a picture where she fell and heard someone going
from below the cliff. She was there overnight in nine degrees. The windshield was negative
six and she's okay. She's not great but she's going to bounce back. Why would you go hiking
by yourself when it's that cold.
Somebody just seeking adventure.
Like, that's a little too much.
That's a little too much.
Wow. I always wonder, like, what you're thinking
when you're down there and like, I'm never going to be found.
Oh, I'm never going to, yeah.
This is how I die.
I'm going to die.
Jeez, Louise.
I was reading this story about how you should cover up your webcam
with your sticker all the time.
Saw that.
Did you see the story?
Yeah, I did.
It blew my mind because I know that webcams can be accessed by hackers.
I see it on the TV shows.
You know?
I watch Mr. Robot.
Sure.
I see what happens when hackers get in.
I figure somebody's watching me at all the time.
Snowden?
Yes.
Someone's probably watching me.
If you were to record me from my webcam, you're going to get me picking my nose.
And that's about it.
Yeah, I thought about that too.
Like, what are they going to do with me?
Picking my nose?
But people are recording and they're using the evidence that they catch on webcams.
If people are, like, doing stuff to, you know,
All sorts of stuff.
Yes.
And they're blackmailing people.
Yes.
I thought it was interesting that it wasn't that much.
Like the ransoms that they were asking for was like $150.
Yeah.
Like that's crazy.
And that's realistic.
Like if you were caught doing something for $150, it's yours.
Take it.
They have this dark web.
I don't know how to get on.
I don't know how to, I don't know what.
You don't have a login password.
I don't want to look at that up.
But has anybody ever been on the dark web?
Mike D probably.
Yeah, I don't know what that is.
He lives on it.
So people brag about it.
I was reading this story about how they go and they talk about how they're able to hack webcams all the time.
That's creepy, though.
So creepy.
That it's really a thing.
They say they also say to take your computer and shut it down once a day because your computer just stores all your RAM.
And until you shut it down, it just keeps it all inside your computer.
Now you don't shut down your computer ever, right?
I do since I read that story.
Now you start it off.
I do it every day because I didn't know it was just keeping it all alive in there.
And so until you shut it down, all your random access memory apparently still stays in your.
computer. Wow. And also people can,
Amy's husband got me for Christmas was a
modem that is a VPN, like a
high, he's super like guarding everything. Yeah.
Covers his holes. He knows what's up. Yes, all hole. He covers all
holes on his phones, on his body. All holes are covered by Amy's husband.
So he buys me this, this crazy VPN mode. He's like, he's talking about it. He's like,
he's like, yeah, turn this on. You can write yourself through anywhere. Really? So
he says, be sure. He was, we're talking about it. He was, we're talking about. He was, we're talking about. He was, he
me that article. He's like, I shut my computer down three times a day.
See, you think Amy's husband knows this stuff? I don't know what he knows. I'm just saying
he told me and gave it to me. I have no... That's a pretty cool present. I have no comment on
anything to do with that, except that's what he gave me. Wow. New Year's was so cold. What
did I do for New Year's? Eddie, what did you do? I was in Texas, and it was freezing cold. I bought
fireworks and no one was popping in. The neighborhood was like dead quiet. It's funny you could say
popping. I say shooting.
Oh, no, I popped fireworks.
Yeah, that's funny.
Yeah, but I started it.
I went out and I was like, I don't care kids, let's go.
We got fireworks, let's pop them.
And so we popped and woke the whole neighborhood up.
Some people came out of their house and started clapping.
What do you mean?
Woke the whole neighborhood.
Wasn't it 1130?
Well, yeah, it was like 10.
But everyone was inside.
No one was inside.
But when I started popping, the door started open.
Everyone was like, yeah, he's got the spirit.
And then that was it.
Like, no one else came out to pop.
Did you stay up?
I stay up until like 1205.
I saw the countdown and like kissed my wife.
and then went to bed.
Is it?
I watched some of the TV shows.
Oh, like, did you watch Ryan Seacrest?
Yeah, and I thought that was the best of all of them
because it wasn't a lot of jibber jabber.
Yeah.
They would throw to the musical guests.
It was a music show, basically, which I liked.
That Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen was too much.
They just went back.
It was just too much.
What was that on?
CNN.
CNN?
Yep.
And then I watched Steve Harvey.
That was that?
Everybody just, like, miserable being outside.
Everybody looked so unhappy.
It was so cold.
Yeah.
And I was just a home by myself with the dog.
And we just watched it on TV and watch the ball drop.
But they flashed to the local news right as the ball was dropping.
Just to watch Nashville.
The natural ball.
So I saw the eastern time zone with Ryan Sechrest.
Yeah.
But that didn't feel like New Year's.
No, that's an hour early.
Then I saw Central where we are.
Yeah.
I watched that on the local.
And Keith Urban was out playing.
And he looked miserable.
Like, he was killing it.
And I know the guys in Keith Urban's band.
Keith, they look miserable, the band looked miserable.
Because, I mean, it was 10 degrees.
And they're out playing for an hour and, whoo.
Yeah, it didn't look pleasant.
But I had a little phone, but I was watching friends on my Snapchat,
or my Insta story.
Oh, what they were going.
All the parties, like five miles away.
Yeah, but it's overrated.
Five miles away.
They couldn't give those.
No invite?
Their buddy Bobby invite.
Dang.
Would you have gone?
Nah, I just want to be invited places.
I don't want to go.
I don't want to have the expectation of going.
I just want people to say, hey, come up.
I did get one invite for a party, but I felt like it might have been a mass text.
How late was the invite?
Like, was it the day of?
No, four days.
Oh, that's perfect.
Yeah.
But I felt like it might have been a copy paste.
Group all their contacts.
So I didn't.
But that's what I did.
Lunchbox, what did you do?
I was in Austin, got together with a group of friends, and we drank and gambled and just sort of had a good time,
played some ping pong, and that's about it.
How long did you stay up?
Until about 2.30 a.m.
I was up to probably five.
Five?
I just, as soon as I get off for three days in a row, I'm back.
I'm back to how I normally should live my life, going to bed at four or five a.m.
I can't do this much longer.
I'm telling you guys, I don't have much left in the tank of waking up early in the morning.
I don't.
I don't know what that means.
I had a conversation with our boss over, I was like, I can't do it.
For my health, I can't do it.
I don't know what it means.
I have no.
And I don't know what, I don't know if Amy's.
coming back, I literally don't know what's happening.
This is too much for our first day back, you know?
Like saying all this, we just started 2018, dude.
I'm telling you, it's just grinding on me.
But it was grinding on me before 2018.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
I was talking about in October last year.
I know.
But now that Amy's considering whatever she's considering, she may not come back.
If she doesn't come back, I'm not waking up.
If Amy doesn't come back, you're not waking up.
Okay.
I just, I got a little saved
up, you know? Let me call the wife. Let her know
we got to save up a little bit.
Hey, rainy day. Rainy Day, fine.
Bobby Bones, everybody.
Transmitting
across America.
This is a Bobby Bonds
show.
Come on, Bob.
So much to talk about. We've gone for
like eight months it felt like to me.
To you guys, I bet it felt like a day.
No, it actually for the first time felt like a long
time. Did it? Yeah, and I was thinking about you.
I'm like, man, this must be what Bobby
feels like. I was itching. I could have come back
26th. So yesterday people were upset at me because we weren't on the air. I was like, I don't want to be on the air.
But you guys, you know, I respect you guys as a vacation. Yeah, thank you. I want you guys to have your vacation.
When listeners get mad, I would say, if your company said you have this much vacation, what don't you take it?
You have to. You have to take it. And we actually have to take it or they have to pay us.
Oh. So, and they're not going to pay us for vacation, extra. I understand that.
So we have to take it. So yeah, I was just, and I told them I would have been here.
I have no, but whatever.
I'm here.
We're here.
We're ready to do this.
Everybody's back.
So, Christmas, good, huh?
Christmas was great.
I mean, Christmas is good because my kids get to hang out with their grandparents.
And, like, that's, like, I don't even think about that stuff.
Like, really, if I had it my way, we would stay here.
We'd have Christmas at home, me, my wife, my kids.
But the fact that they get to see their grandparents, like, it's a big deal to them.
And they love it.
And my parents love it?
San Antonio grandparents or Dallas?
Both.
We do half.
in San Antonio and the other half in Dallas.
Is there any sort of competitive streak between you and your wife to see which grandparents
they like the most?
No, I don't think so.
I mean, the challenge that we have is just, because it's fun for everyone to go home.
It's fun for me to go see my family in San Antonio, and I think for my wife, it's kind of tough.
She's just like, ugh, miss my family.
Yes.
So it's challenging for her when we're at my family.
It's challenging for me when we're at her family.
And I think that's the challenge.
And we're not too competitive because the kids just, it's weird, man.
They love the grandparents the same.
Like, my parents are crazy and her parents are just fun and, like, sweet and nice.
And it's just, I always think, like, they're going to be bored in Dallas.
No, but they're not.
They love it.
Do you hear what happened to lunchbox?
No, what happened to lunchbox?
Man, we have a...
He didn't know.
He got prank.
Hard.
No way, what?
So, on Christmas morning, we all go downstairs at my parents' house and we start...
opening gifts and I get a present from my wife that says to me from my wife and I open it up
and it's just like this little box like a square box and on the lid there's the picture of a sonogram
and you open the tissue paper and there's a little pair of baby shoes and I'm like holy crap
I'm gonna be a dad like I start freaking out who's around do you watch this my mom dad brother
sister brother-in-law sister-in-law my niece know what was in the pack only my brother
did. It turns out he convinced my wife to do this. Okay. And he provided the son and Graham
from when him and his wife were having a baby and an old pair of baby shoes from when the kid was
younger. And I'm freaking out. My mom starts crying. Oh, no. Because my mom's going to be a grandmother
for the third time. But first with you. First with me. And I'm just going, oh my gosh. And I'm
hugging my wife. And for like 10, 15 minutes, we're just freaking out. That long? Yeah. And then
they let you write it out that long?
And then they reveal it's a joke.
And I was just like, are you kidding me?
And my wife starts feeling so guilty.
She's like, your brother made me do it.
He convinced me because you guys always do pranks and I'm never part of the pranks.
And he thought this would be perfect for me to get involved with the pranks.
And I was just like, wow, you want to talk about hurt.
Oh, boy.
Like that hurts.
Oh, yeah, because you think, oh, my goodness, I'm about to be a dad.
Like, you're going crazy.
You're on cloud nine.
It's like, woo! Oh my gosh!
And then it's just like, oh, okay.
A little bit.
Don't you feel like you got some of your own medicine right there?
I mean, a little bit.
But I thought that was a dirty prank.
It was a dirty prank, for sure, but you're dirty prank people, though.
I felt like you could have done something else.
Like, you know, those fake lottery tickets I did my brother back in the day
when he thought he won $100,000 and had everybody going crazy
and calling people long distance and let him know he won $100,000.
That's a good prank.
tell it because
you know we're trying
like I want to be a dad
and for the fact that
she does that
and I mean my mom was crying
oh that's the part right there
where I'm like
she had literal tears
coming down her
her face
like so happy dude
what did your brother say after
did you have like remorse
no he's just like oh yeah
got him
even two days later
he's touched me
and he goes
how about that praying
that's cruel
but you found out how you really
will feel. Like you, that was it.
I wasted it. No, you didn't waste it.
Oh, Merry Christmas, everybody.
We're back live today. It feels like so much
has happened. Producer Raymond, who sits in the glass room and does the audio,
went to the Titans football game, and the Titans made the playoffs.
Somehow he ends up in a suite with all the...
How did you get into that suite, by the way?
I asked our bosses here. I said that I was a huge Titans fan,
so was my girl, and we were fighting for the playoffs.
it's all record label people
are big boss
and then Raymond
and it's not even
the station suite
no it's not
but they got us in
I'm fine with that
yeah yeah yeah
and so
Raymond goes
and he sees Lindsay
my ex-girlfriend
because she's in the suite too
because it's her record label
and the suite
oh wow okay
so Raymond sends me a text
and it's like
hey
you can tell
don't say who it is though
no I won't
but I have this inside information
so I'm asking if you want it
so it's a maybe
somebody
she's going to start dating. Oh, boy. Do you want that? Well, I already know the story. You already
told me. But you want it on the air. Don't say who. I know. But you can tell the story. It's fine.
There's an end of there. They were talking in the suite and there's an NFL player. Who's they?
The label people, all her reps. Was she? No, they were pitching it to her. Okay, go ahead.
Oh, this NFL player. Oh, he's so sweet. Oh, he stays at home. He never parties. He plays
video games. He's the perfect guy for you to date. Oh, you're single. He's single. You need a
So they are just pitching this guy hard and I'm like, man, she might start dating this guy.
And he's a star.
I'm like, I got to tell bones.
And then I'm like, well, bones let me tell it on the air.
What do you think?
Oh, and they would be the new it couple in Nashville.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
He is a star.
And I was like, oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
I wonder if she's going to talk to him after the game.
And then I looked on the field.
Oh, is she down there right now?
Is she congratulating him?
All these things were racing through my head.
I was just like, this is the start of it all.
This is crazy.
Bones and her broke up, and now she's possibly going to start dating another guy.
I'm like, and I'm seeing all this right in front of my own eyes.
Should I tell Bones?
Should I tell him?
You should always tell your friends.
You should always tell your friends.
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, it wasn't like she was out searching for these dudes.
Her label people are like, let's go.
Let's get you dating again.
I mean, what?
Oh, what do you think?
Bones?
Like, what's...
It's never comfortable to hear that, but we're not together.
Yeah?
But it has to hurt the NFL player.
Well, no, I'm going to tell you.
One of the players that was on the field, I don't want to say who it is.
I had already come to her before we were dating.
Oh, I know this story.
Yeah, star player.
She didn't want to date him.
So do you know, did I tell you who that was?
I knew who it was.
I don't know if you said it on the air.
Okay, I won't.
Yeah.
Is it the same player?
No, no, no, no.
New player.
Dang.
Listen, she's attractive, talented.
Yes.
So I get it.
So, listen, it's never comfortable to hear.
that. Yeah. But... Yeah, and I don't even know if they talked. It was just, we're really good friends
with an NFL player. We're really good friends with you. Would y'all like to go on a date together?
Who knows where it goes from there, but that's what I overheard. Well, that's uncomfortable for me
to hear. It is. It's got to be. But we're not together, and if that's what she does,
then that good for her. I just want her to be happy. That's all. Okay. I have not been on any
date. I've done nothing. I haven't even thought about it, really.
So if she, just hypothetically, if she dates like a star NFL player, does it put the pressure on for you?
Like, well, I've got to like, I got to go big.
No, I don't care about that.
Because, I mean, what if she's like, they are the star couple.
They end up being like.
I hope so.
I don't care for the star couple.
I just want her to be happy regardless of what it is.
It's nice of you.
No, it's not.
It's honest.
Well, the fact that you feel that way, yeah, that's really.
I mean, it's hard to think that way.
Like, I think it's natural to be, well, whatever.
She's not my girlfriend anymore.
That, barf.
You know what I mean?
Are you Barf Simpson?
Yeah, yeah, you know, like, it's just not something you really want to talk about or even think about.
But I'm a human, though.
I know you are.
That's cool of your buddy Ray to bring that up and...
Yeah, right.
Yeah, Ray.
I'm glad I was in the suite.
We would have never known about this.
Are these people that I know would be kind of like, why are you turning to do that?
Oh, you know all of them?
Yeah.
All the label rep people.
They come in here.
They come in this too?
We've all seen them before.
More.
Yeah.
Spike ball.
Out.
All right.
Thank you, Raymond for the heads up.
Well, look at there.
Merry Christmas, huh?
Oh, man.
Happy New Year.
I don't know that anything's happening with that.
But more power to her.
I hope everybody downloads,
buys a record.
Billboard named Lindsay L's record,
number one record of 2017.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
The number one album, 2017.
That's really awesome.
So, yeah, I just want her to rock it.
Whatever she does, I just want her to rock it.
Whomever would.
Rocket.
Just kill it.
She has her new song.
wonderful. Before we left,
Lunchbox was yelling at us about Bitcoin.
Why don't we buy Bitcoin? I don't even we.
Yeah, mouths in your pocket. We. You can buy your own Bitcoin.
So you said you were going to learn and buy, did you?
I signed up for a learn about Bitcoin. It's a eight-week course, and they send you an email.
An eight-week course. Oh, my goodness. Go ahead.
And you go to their website, and it'll teach you everything about Bitcoin and how it works and what it's useful.
and how to buy it, how to acquire it.
So I am, I'm going to be taking class.
So when he said this, Bitcoin had just drastically fell, right?
Boom.
Yeah.
And so I did some research.
I did about three hours of research and learned cryptocurrencies and how they mine it.
And there's an absolute limit to, you can't just keep printing money like we didn't, you know, America.
So I bought a bunch.
You bought Bitcoin?
Yeah, it's really easy.
Really easy to buy.
You just get a wallet.
Like, I had been to three hours of work.
Three hours.
Not eight weeks.
No.
Okay.
No, no, no.
But I waited for it to buy it, like hit a hard down.
Yeah, you buy it when it's low.
And I bought it when it's low.
And as of right now, because it never stops.
It's not like a stock market where it goes only hours.
It never stops.
So I bought it.
I'll tell you what I am up.
You're looking it up right now.
So this is serious.
Yeah, I'm up 13% since I bought it.
Dang.
Yeah.
So I've made a little bit of money.
It could bottom at any time.
Do you have a goal?
Like when it hits this, you're cashing out?
No, but.
No
Dude
My point is
You never do anything
You always talk about things
And you never do anything
No no
With all your business I did
Your snow cone stand
Your Bitcoin
It took me nothing
There it is
He researched in three hours
I have it
And I have my half on my phone
You sign up for an eight week
course
Right
Bitcoin could have like
You could have made some money
dude
But that's what I'm saying
I'd say we should do this
You guys laugh at me
And then you go do it without me
See that's what I'm saying
As a business partner
We're not business partners
You went behind my back
You don't buy this name
You don't have to buy one Bitcoin either
Because that's like $16,000
You buy
You're not his business part
You can buy like $30
Like one Bitcoin right now
It's $15,100
Wow
You can do that, see
Nobody you don't have to
You can spend 20 bucks
All right, I'll give you 20 bucks
I'm not in it with you
No no
And get in on your little app
No I'm not
You owe me 30 bucks anyway
From the bet
Tell me the app
No you can research it yourself
I just wanted to
prove to you that you always talk.
No, I did. I signed up for a class.
And what did you do? You go out of my back and just
one-up me. That's what you always
want to do. You don't want to include me
in these awesome plans. I bring you
plans. I just made you money.
You're welcome.
Okay. There we go.
Hey, Ray, I did buy some reetham.
That's awesome. Yeah, I bought some light of rhythm too.
Yeah. I bought a lot of cryptocurrencies.
I'm pretty smart on it now.
I don't know if it's going to last.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
I hate you.
Here we go.
I saw a dust.
Dustin Lynch, open for Garth after we went on vacation.
I went to Garth, like his next to last show.
Yeah, how did he do?
Garth, he did pretty good.
No, Dustin.
Oh, it was good.
It was good?
Yeah, he's good.
I mean, everybody's there for Garth.
Because that's hard.
That's a hard job.
Yeah, but it's so hard that nobody cares.
You could have put a stick man up there miming.
Okay.
It wouldn't have mattered.
It was cool for Dustin.
I know Dustin.
I like Dustin.
Yeah.
But it doesn't matter.
Because Garth's coming on and everybody's just like, okay, enough with all this.
Just get to go.
Let's get to it.
I mean, the place was rabid for Garth.
And then how was Garth?
Yeah, I mean, it's awesome.
It was crazy, man.
So cool, man.
The whole place was rocking.
He starts sweating like crazy.
He's running around like a madman.
So it was the second time I've seen this tour.
So it was pretty awesome.
And did that, I went out with Amy and her husband and just took it in.
It was their first, second night back.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, we did that.
Then I went to Hawaii.
And that's where I went my secret.
It wasn't even secret.
You guys were just so, like, wanting to know.
So I just like, eh, I won't tell you.
We always want to know, and you always do that to us.
That's the definition of a secret.
No, no, no.
I told some people, because I didn't care.
Okay, but the fact that we care.
Yeah, I was like, nah, hold it wrong here.
I got in the elevator.
I was in this hotel, and I was on, like, the 16th floor,
whatever it was.
I get on the floor.
I'm going down the elevator, and I realize this elevator's not that nice.
It's compared to the other ones.
They have, like, little screens in them.
Here we go.
And so the other.
elevator goes to the bottom floor and it opens and there's the kitchen.
You were in the, what's it called?
It's the service elevator.
Yeah.
And I'm like, what's wrong with you?
I shouldn't be in the kitchen.
So I push and try to go back up to my floor, but you have to have a key to beat to go back up.
Yeah.
You can't just go back up.
You can't just get in the, apparently one of the housekeepers that opened it.
I thought it was my elevator.
I just got in and I went down to the kitchen.
I'm surprised you didn't have your phone on.
You just kept walking the kitchen and like past, there was past a cook.
Oh, no, I did.
That's how I had to get out of there.
Oh my goodness.
I couldn't go up.
So I started walking, I'm in the bow.
I'm in this restaurant.
I'm looking around.
People are looking at me like, what's he doing?
But if you just act like you know what's up.
Oh, they don't ask questions.
They don't ask questions.
So I'm walking around, walking by the cooks and food.
Grab some parsley, put it in the pies.
The whole thing.
And I can't find where to get out because it's a large hotel.
It's right on the beach.
I've never been to Hawaii before.
This hotel's humongous.
Yeah.
I'm in the middle of the kitchen, lost.
And I finally see like a little glimpse of life.
It's like you're in a cave.
I'm like, oh, oh, that's the way to get out.
So I have to be lying over to it.
And I walked through the hole.
And here I am, I'm out.
And I can tell them out.
But I walk out behind the people that are taking the reservations.
You're behind the front desk?
And they look over and they say, excuse me?
And I was like, oh, got lost in the kitchen.
Sorry about that.
And I just took off and left and didn't even look back.
But yeah, it was pretty funny.
Dude, I saw you, you ran into just a lot of listeners out there.
That's crazy.
Hawaii felt like another country.
Yeah.
I'd never been to Hawaii.
I went to Hawaii because there were three places I wanted to go from watching TV.
I wanted to go to a full house.
I wanted to go to Japan because of full house.
Okay.
Because Uncle Jesse went and during his tour?
The Rippers were big in Japan.
Yeah.
Right.
So I wanted to go to Japan.
And then I wanted to go to London because friends went to London.
Of course.
And then I wanted to go to Hawaii because the Brady Bunch.
That's right.
Yes.
So when I was like, where am I going to go?
I'm by myself.
Yeah.
I'll go to Hawaii.
Terrible, because for me, I don't like to beach or water.
So maybe if I would have went with someone that had made me do things,
it's been a lot more fun.
That's fine.
It's warm.
Been a ton of listeners, though.
That's crazy to me.
Fresno State was playing at a bowl games.
I made a bunch of Fresno listeners.
Alabama listeners, Boston listeners, Austin listeners.
Yeah.
There were people that lived there.
I went to a restaurant and there's a picture of me on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones.
I mean by myself, but the restaurant was a restaurant was a restaurant was a
rotating restaurant. And I'm so dumb. I thought those spinning restaurants, the building actually
spun. I always thought that. I'd never been to a restaurant that moved. Is this like high up in the
yeah, yeah, yeah. It's up high and it rotates. The rotating restaurant. I always thought that the
restaurant rotate. Only when I got up there did I realize it was pretty stupid to me to think that they
built an entire building with hydraulics that the whole building turned. Yeah, it doesn't? No.
So what happens is you go into it and it's windows all around, but inside of it, the food part is on
like a platform and it turns inside of the restaurant. So you're rotating the whole time,
but the whole building's not turning. Get out. Dude, I thought the same thing too. Yeah. So
not the best idea if you get really motion sick, which I do. Just like, don't look out the
window. About five seconds into it, I was like, oh, this is not good. And I went in and I order
everything immediately. It's just like, even when I went someone, I like to order. Here's what I want
to drink, my appetizer, this is my meal, and then I like to pay a ticket when it's over and get out of
there. Yeah, no, we know. We've been there. I ordered everything. And
And the place started spinning after I get nauseous.
And when I left, I was like, oh, kind of motion sick.
And I didn't know where I was in the restaurant because it had been turning the whole time.
So once again, you find yourself in the kitchen.
So again, I'm behind the front desk.
But yeah, that's what I did.
You go hiking, though?
You went hiking, didn't you?
I did.
I did go hiking.
That looked beautiful.
Except it's not hiking.
What do you mean?
Where I come up, we would hike.
You walk up mountains.
Yeah.
And you have to climb sometimes.
Yeah.
And I went up this mountain, but there was like a cement trail.
Oh, that's not hike.
It's like a nature walk.
Yeah, no, that's like a walk in the park.
It was like a tilted nature walk.
There were handrails and concrete.
That's not a hike.
Where'd you go up?
Like Diamond Head?
That's exactly where I went.
Dude, that's awesome.
Fair?
Yeah, but that's like, that's the symbol of Honolulu of Waikiki.
Oh, stop saying it like that.
Dude, I love Hawaii.
You understand.
Eddie loves it.
Eddie loves it.
The fact that you were going to Hawaii made me so happy.
And I thought, like, it was going to be like, this is it.
But it's going to change Bobby.
He's going to love the beach.
He's going to love island life, salt life.
but I guess not.
I like Wi-Fi.
I know.
Like my dog.
Netflix.
Yeah.
Your room, your bedroom.
I've been trying to stay out of there.
Oh, really?
Yeah, just some.
I just stay in my bed the whole time.
But, nah.
And Hawaii, it's fine.
I got, yeah, I guess I finished my book, I think.
Dude, that's excited.
So.
Do you like it?
No.
You're happy with it?
No, not yet.
I'll get it sent back to me fully, fully edited.
It's been edited like three times already.
Is it like turning the paper where they just sent it back with like red ink everywhere?
That's what's been happening for the past six months.
I write it, like I take, and I'll write 20,000 words, and I'll send it off and chop, chop, chop, expand, so then I have to write again.
Sounds stressful. Send it back again. Chop, expand, expand, and then, okay, acceptable. And you send it off one final time when it's done.
And then you start taking pictures for it? We've already picked out of title. We haven't revealed any of that yet, but yeah.
Dude, it's exciting. It's coming out of the summer. I know. It's, I don't know. I thought the last book.
What's it about? I'm talking about that yet. Okay. It's not about my life.
Like the last, that's not a memoir, no.
Oh, okay.
No, no, no.
Okay, I'll tell you.
It's about dinosaurs.
Oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Bitcoin and dinosaurs.
Yeah.
Sorry, buddy.
So, yeah, there's that.
But it was good.
It's awesome, man.
You're gonna go back to Hawaii?
No.
I mean, I guess if I get a woman.
Yeah, take her back to Hawaii.
Or she wants to go.
Okay.
And I would go some more.
I didn't go five miles from a hotel the whole time.
Yeah, see, that was your problem.
No, I didn't want to go five miles from my hotel.
It's not my problem.
And you know, Hawaii has like three
other islands too. You need to check out. I saw it on the map. Maui. Yeah.
Coaii. That's just not my thing.
Where the lavas are, like the big volcanoes. All the volcanoes, the big island.
Listen to this guy. Did you see it's raining in town or snowing in Tallahassee today?
I just saw it right now. For the first time of 28 years. That's crazy. Snowing in Tallahassee.
That, Boston's about to get nailed by a huge storm. Oof. It snowed in Austin on New Year's
night. Texas. I know. It snowed twice in Austin. Yeah. My brother kept
sending me pictures because he loves snow.
Into times, man.
I know.
It's over.
End of times, man.
Find a love one.
Hold her tight.
Hold her tight.
You know something crazy is that I opened up this app.
I don't even use the app, but it's called Venmo.
And it's just, you pay people through your bank account through an app.
Yeah.
And so I open it up.
And there's $58 in it yesterday.
Why don't I have $58 in this Venmo?
Because at one point, I was paying people through Venmo.
I just got bored with it.
Okay.
I just started using a credit card
so I opened it up and
there was money in there
I was like wow
I look and listeners
have been sending me $1
with the hashtag
Pim and Joy or some message
No way
People trust me with money
That's crazy
And so I say hey
Everybody
I got money in my phone here
That people are just giving me
Like why are you trust me with this money
I could just go buy tennis shoes
If I wanted to
Well they're made they're showing you their appreciation
I'm not going to take the money
But how do they know that?
It's true.
They don't know that.
Because it's just straight going to my Venmo account.
And my name is Bobby Dash Bones, right?
And I show people on my Insta story yesterday.
So do you want to read this?
So I just put that up there.
Here's how much money I have right now.
You can read it.
Can we read the amount?
Yeah, listeners are sending it to me.
You can read it.
Oh, my goodness.
You have $260.
$6.69.
What is happening?
I keep sending me money.
What is happening?
See, everyone's thanking you.
No, why are you trusting me with this?
Hey, just a token of our appreciation.
I'm going to give it a well,
donate it somewhere.
Like I promise,
but how do you know I'm telling the truth?
Wow.
That's true.
They don't know.
They're trusting in you.
I know.
Here's one.
A buck to thank you
for getting me through my commute at work.
Your book and show
where helping me come up
with some new fundraising ideas.
Here's another one.
So it's a two, yeah,
but that's why,
and somebody sent me 69 cents.
Funny.
Yeah.
Funny, guys.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So yeah, if you have Venmo,
you can save money if you want,
but I don't know why you would.
I might go buy new clothes.
You know what?
I'm not going to.
You're going to donate charity?
I want to send you at all.
No, no, no.
Stop it.
Yeah.
Do you have my name?
It's Bobby Dashbone.
Yeah, I have it.
I have it.
Yeah, that's what it is.
So I have to find a place for this money,
but it keeps growing.
I don't want to give it away until I get it all in.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Hold on.
I'm sending you one.
Who knows?
I may just go buy some new socks for the winter.
you know okay
alright sent to you
buy me a new scarf
yep I got it
there you go
there it is thank you I'm at 261 69
oh my goodness
people need to stop sending me money
you don't know what I'm gonna do with that
you know you know Ray got fired
from Uber Raymond no
yeah what do you do
what happened would you want to know the
multiple choice answers
of what it could have been
what could it have been
yeah why don't you just tell us
why you got fired well anyways they said
hey you've been fired so I thought
maybe it's a sticker I don't have a sticker
I didn't really believe in that
from the start. You don't have an Uber sticker on your car? No, I didn't think it was 100% necessary.
I would never get into your car, but it's... People have. So then it could have been my door.
One of my passenger doors doesn't open. It wasn't any of that. It ended up being,
apparently my insurance expired and you can't drive for Uber without insurance. So they said,
you've been let go by Uber and then I have to reapply once I have insurance. Are you going to
reapply? Yes. I want to drive for Uber more, but it was kind of disturbing to wake up and know that my career
with Uber was over.
And it totally caught me by surprise.
I was like, racking my brain.
I was like, man, did somebody give me a zero star
because of my crappy car?
Oh, rhymed.
Did, uh...
Nice rhyme.
Do you like working and driving for Uber?
Yeah.
You get the money instantly.
It would be like at the end of this show, you get paid.
That's how Uber is.
That would be pretty cool.
Yeah.
It goes directly to your bank account, no taxes either.
Well, you still have to pay taxes.
At the end of the year, but they don't take anything out.
Yeah, but that's not...
And that's an option. You can do that here.
Right. I know that. But I'm not doing you.
Okay. That's why most people do it. It's fast cash.
You make good money?
Yeah. You make really good money.
Do you ever get someone saying, hey, take me out to this part of the world, and you're like, oh, you got to drive way out?
The farthest was the airport runs. And then I guess like Brentwood placed 20 miles out of town.
Other than that, I'm not going to, like, I mean, Kentucky, honestly, is 45 minutes north. I ain't going there.
Well, what if someone says you get in? They get in the car.
You can cancel the ride. It'll show.
So then you can just tell them, hey, something came up, can't do this ride.
If it's too long, you just make that excuse.
All right, there's Raymond.
You're the behind the scenes of Uber after he got fired.
Yeah, he should probably get that insurance done, though.
It's just in general, not even Uber.
It's illegal to, like, drive around with that insurance, period.
Yeah, for sure.
It is.
If you get in the right.
You'd call the general, dude.
Yes.
For a great little rate, just get online.
Come on mine.
Come on.
You got to call the general.
That's right.
Let Shaq hook you up.
Bobby Bones, everybody.
We're transmitting across America.
This is a Bobby Boll show.
Come on, Bob.
Yeah, Brothers Osborne have a new song out on Friday.
They teased it on their Instagram yesterday.
I'm a big brother's Osborne fan.
Their new song, Shoot Me Straight here.
I don't know if you guys have heard this.
Can there that look that lift me down easy smile?
Oh, act like I couldn't see you're coming for a hundred miles.
Don't try to find a perfect words
Get the pain out of her
Hit me hard
Baby I can take it
It's your move go on and make it
Make it burn
A whole way down on the ground
And shoot me straight
You got new brothers Osborne right there
Hit me again
It's your move go on and make it
Make a bird
A way down
That's funny
Yeah tomorrow
I'll have me a heart hang over
And more hell
A heartache
Pour it all
I'm trying to
Whiskey
Shoot me straight
There it is
Come on with that
I like brothers
Man
You know everybody
Was in Times Square
Happy New Year
Yeah
Like a million people
You know they have
No bathrooms out there
So everybody wears diapers
That's terrible
There are no bathrooms
What?
Zero public bathrooms
Yeah
Wow
So you wear a diaper
Or you just pee your pants
No literally
That's what they do
That's not good
And they're like
You can't move around
It's so secure
But no public
bathrooms. Why would anyone want to go down there?
To say you've been down there, to do it once.
Yeah, crazy.
The national championship game
will be Alabama and Georgia.
Yeah. Which, listen, I'm an
SEC guy, so I'm pretty happy about that.
I'm a huge Arkansas fan.
So, you know, if you're really into conferences,
if you're not playing them, you root for your conference.
It's always kind of, you know,
you want to beat your brother up, but sometimes mess with
your brother and you're not, you know, I just get that thing.
So, I was happy that they both won.
But tickets are going for over $100,000.
Whoa.
Wow.
50 yard line seats.
And it's the most expensive game ever because they're playing it in Atlanta.
And University of Georgia is in Athens, which is close to Atlanta.
And Alabama close.
Yeah.
So they also play the Sugar Bowl in Atlanta.
So yeah, there you go.
It's going to be the most expensive game ever.
The Georgia Bulldogs in the Alabama Crimson Tide, January 8th in Atlanta.
you can get a box ticket for $114,000.
That's it.
The average ticket price is $3,300.
Average ticket price.
Yeah.
Movie theaters hit their lowest attendance at 22 years.
Here we go.
Oh, great.
I'm just telling you, they're dying.
I mean, you called it years ago.
And this is Christmas time.
You know, like, that's when everyone goes to the movie.
The number of movie theater tickets in America is going to hit a 22-year low in 2017.
It's Netflix, Amazon, the video streaming.
It's people not wanting to go and have to sit in a room that's not there, chairs with crummy food.
If you have the option at home, you don't want to go drive to it.
There's something about an experience occasionally, but not all the time.
My son loves the theater.
He's also nine.
Yeah, and it's magical to him.
When a movie comes out, he's got to go watch it.
The premiere The Bachelor was down 30% from last season.
Did you like the first episode of Lunchbox or not?
Yeah, it was pretty good.
Some of the girls are going to be kind of crazy.
But the guy's kind of boring, but the girls always bring the drama,
and there's some good-looking ladies.
That guy's been on there before, right?
Yeah, he was on a past season of The Bachelorette,
and he thought he was going to be married to Emily Maynard,
and she broke his heart at the very end, and he's back.
He's more mature, and it's been five years,
and he's ready to take that next step.
Down nearly 30 percent.
Does he have gray hair?
A little bit in his hair.
Yeah, he's got that salt and peasant.
Pepper look.
Huh.
I like that.
Keeping it real.
Representing the old dude.
They probably made him.
We need to look a little different.
We're trying to attract the older crowd.
Yeah, we're trying to look a little more mature.
So, yeah, there's that.
I didn't watch The Bachelor.
I was watching the football game.
I watched The Crown.
I'm not done with it.
I watched.
The Crown is so good.
Oddly, really good.
Yeah, it's better I thought it was going to be.
Me too, man.
I feel like I'm learning, too.
Yeah.
I feel like I'm watching a documentary.
And I'm learning about the Queen.
I always saw her.
I always kind of knew she existed,
but I knew nothing about it.
Yeah, I didn't either.
It's pretty cool.
I didn't know that she wasn't supposed to be the queen.
Didn't know that.
I didn't know.
She was,
her uncle was the king and he quit.
Yeah.
And so he's like,
I quit.
I'm out.
So he advocated at the throne.
So they say.
Advocated at the throne.
No, I think it's like advocated.
Oh.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
So his brother got it
because he had no errors.
And so Queen Elizabeth is his daughter.
Yeah.
She's like in her 90s now,
by the way.
So I watched that.
I watched Handmaid's Tale, which was really good.
And Amy had talked about that for a year, but it's finally able to download.
I don't have Hulu.
So I watch Handmaid's Tale.
And that show is crazy, but it's great.
I watched The Movies.
I watched Get Out.
Oh, yeah.
Is that good?
Oh, it's so good.
And I didn't want to watch it.
I was totally against it.
And Mike D., who has my taste in a lot of ways, he's like, you'll like it.
Just trust me.
And so I watched it, I was blown away.
I was like, this is great.
It's black mirror-esque, but a movie.
I don't like horror movies.
And so I was like, Mike, what you think?
And he was like, oh, you'll like it.
And then I watched Baby Driver, and I thought it was good.
Not about driving a baby around.
It's not, and that's what I thought.
Like, is this like, look who's talking, you know, where the babies are talk?
Awesome movies.
Yeah, back when we were kids.
So funny.
Look who's talking was awesome.
Yes.
Because the babies are, like, talk to each other.
It was like, John Devolta and Curse the Allie's voices.
And they would be like, hey, baby, what are you doing?
And we're like, hey, we're good.
And we're like, the babies are talking to each other.
Awesome.
That's how we were entertained as kids.
We were so stupid.
I think it was Bruce Willis as the voice, though.
I think John Travolton did one season, too.
I think Bruce Willis probably did.
Well, then they did look who's talking with animals too, I think.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Look who's also talking.
I don't know.
Honey, I shrunk the talking kids.
But I watched Baby Driver, I thought it was good.
It was good?
Yeah, a lot of cool music.
Really?
Really great.
The whole movie's music.
Okay.
Because the kid who's, his name's Baby, and he's a driver, and he has a permanent ring in his ear, so he's
always listening to the music.
And you hear the music he's listening to it the whole time.
All right.
But it's pretty good.
I mean, I like the, I watch that.
I don't watch a lot of movies, but I did watch those two.
I thought they were good.
Did you go see the new Star Wars?
I have no interest.
All right.
I'm not hating on it.
I know.
I've never seen a Star Wars.
I mean, you're kind of, if you go into it now, you're like, you got to watch like 10 of them.
You like it?
Loved it.
It made a billion dollars.
Dude, it's probably my favorite one ever made.
A lot of people were hating on it because it didn't hold up to something.
I don't know.
I just read the headlines.
And you've never watched them.
I've never seen it.
So I just scroll through it.
Yeah.
But why were people upset with it?
Well, I guess, like, they kind of throw in some humor in it, like cheesy humor, but I liked it because I have kids and I laughed.
So it's like the Avengers, like that kind of humor into Star Wars.
Never saw the Avengers.
But you've never seen Avengers?
No, I've never seen it.
Oh, wow.
It's on my list to watch.
But, yeah, it's a little long, I guess if you want to complain about something, it's like two and a half hours long.
And yeah, it does get cheesy.
There's cheesy moments, but it's overall.
It's awesome.
Do you?
Oh, my goodness.
Yeah.
Do you?
Yeah, all time.
Okay, don't forget.
Eight at two every day.
Well, in 10, too, I think.
I think it's just two.
Two o'clock at 8 p.m.
Yeah, I play.
Have you wanted money?
I got to question 11 once, question 10 a few times.
Okay, lunch, it's trivia.
I know it's trivia.
It's live trivia.
And you play, and it's cool because the guy is actually live.
Like a little TV.
And you're playing.
It's good.
Dude, I love it.
Yeah, I missed the last question.
You made it to 11?
I made it to 12.
Oh, and then you missed that one.
I missed it.
Yeah.
The furthest I've gone, and that's seven, but that was with my whole family.
Like where all of us are yelling, like.
I think I'm worse with people.
Really?
you think you're better by yourself?
Yeah, I don't trust anyone.
Dude, how awesome to win it.
But you only won like $2.
Well, if you split it, like say, 200 people get it.
Yeah, because like a million people play.
Right.
Whoever last gets the money.
Now, I've seen people split it in only 7-1
where it's like, you know, 200 bucks each.
That's cool.
Yeah.
But that would really be disappointed
if you, like, you finish and you got like two bucks.
It's an app called HQ.
It's a live trivia.
It's like basically who wants to be a millionaire,
but you're playing for money.
It's free to play.
Yeah.
So I did that.
I bought Amy's son,
a video game. What you get them?
One of the new Game Boys. Oh, cool. Nice. And so I gave it to them. I didn't tell them.
I just gave it to him. I was like, hey, I got you.
Dude, that's so wrong. They wanted to kill me. Yeah, that's wrong. And I got him like three games.
And he was like, thank you. And so she called, she said, can we get learning games on this?
I was like, I don't know. I don't have a game boy. I just bought it because I thought it'd
it'd be awesome for him. Do any games is a learning game? And so they went to the store yesterday and
they were trying to find learning games. They found any? I think they found one, because he didn't
know English that well. Yeah. And so they
were trying to find games and she's texting me. She's like, I can't believe
you bought this. And then she's, you know, he's thankful, but she's also,
we're close enough for her she could be like, oh, stop doing that.
Now he's not going to put this down. But then she says, I'm not letting it play it.
So why not? Because he's not eight.
He's seven and a half. And it says if your eyes aren't developed to eight years old,
it's like, Amy, stop it. Come on. You always talked about how you were going to be the cool
mom. Yeah, exactly. And you're holding him back because of six months.
Exactly. But she ended up letting him play.
I think.
Dude, don't be the friend that always brings gifts.
Don't do that.
I have every time.
I know.
I took her daughter an American girl doll.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, I had no idea those things are that expensive.
They are expensive.
And you don't have girls.
I've never bought one, but they're expensive.
Dude, that's, do you like it?
Oh, loved it.
Yeah, but I just gave them the presents that the mom and got around.
See, now every time they see you, they're like, all right, cool, where's my gift?
Cool.
And you're going to do it every time?
I mean, I'll try.
If not, I give them a dollar.
There we go.
Yeah.
All right, we got a dollar.
day, not bad.
Then I'll be happy to see me.
Then I can leave.
Yeah.
So, that's funny.
All that happened.
Anything else?
Anything else you want to know about?
No, I think that's it for now.
All right.
Peace and love.
Then happiness.

Bobby's got something to talk about. Yeah, a lot. I will see that pop up on my phone.
I purposely. Oh, are you talking about, no, that's on Periscopes. That's on Periscope.
Yeah, yeah. I got something to say. I got something to say. Yeah. I was looking at it and be like,
there he is. You got something to say again. I was Jones in for being on the air. Like,

Oh, that's the best.
You're weird, dude.
We turned that into getting a fight with Jake on my podcast to where Mike D.
who produces it, thought Jake would leave.
He didn't know if the show was going to end.
And we got back on track during that.
But we went from that to now Jake's doing a show on the podcast network.
Awesome.
Which is funny.
So cool.
So Jake Owen's number one.
I think Dirks is number two all-time, listen to.
