Sunday is a company trying to make that part easier. They start with a soil test and climate data to build a yard plan tailor to where you live, then ship everything directly to your door. No guesswork, no dragging bags of fertilizer. And instead of harsh chemicals, Sunday uses simple, nutrient-dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses, and iron.

Everything hooks up to a hose, which honestly sounds like my speed. If your yard feels more stressful than satisfying, Sunday's approach makes a lot of sense.

Morning. How's your weekend, Amy? That was really good. I mean, we just hung out as a family of the kids. Like, our MO now is hiking and movies. But we do play basketball now. We're a basketball family. You set your goal up?

It's officially up. And we've got new basketballs that have air. We had a few that we realized had no air. We're like, well, this is no fun. Did you have to go through the HOA? Because when I was at your house, your husband was like, we got to put up a basketball goal, but we have to ask the HOA to put something up.

I think we did, and we got approved, I guess. Or you just did it. Listen, that's what I would do. Ask for forgiveness. Yeah, no, we must have gotten approved because it's all, so far no notices on our doorstep. So really that. I mean, we're just, you know, gamers, ballers now.

Ballers. Wait for it. We play horse and whatever else. It's some other game. I can't think of the next. name. Pig. Same name.

Eddie, you took your kids out on the lake? I did. So, yeah, my in-laws are in town. So we rented one of those double-decker boats, which are awesome, by the way. Explain a double-decker boat. It's a pontoon, you know, so it floats on two big metal tubes or whatever, and it's a flat platform. And then it has two-stories. And on the top, you can either jump off, you know, like kind of like cliff diving a little bit off, like, I would say it's probably about two-story, like a two-story building balcony.

That's how far the jump would be. So all the kids are like, oh, we're jumping off. the top or whatever, but my seven-year-old, junior, junior, he's the only one not doing it. So all the kids are like, come on, it's fun. And isn't he the adventurous one? Yes, he is the daring one. And he's just looking and he's like, I don't want to do it. I don't want to do it.

So we're all kind of, come on, come on, do it. And I said, look, if I jump, will you do it? He's like, okay, if you jump, I'll do it. I jump. He still won't do it. So I get up there, just pushed him off. Eddie. Bones.

He was so mad. He was so mad at me. He was crying when he came back up and he's like, I hate this. That was terrible. I hate this boat. I hate this lake. And I gave him about 10 minutes to kind of stop yelling. I said, all right, time to get back on the boat.

He's like, no, leave me here. I'm just going to float away. But eventually 10 minutes later, he was like, he was over. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. You know how in life people have big T's and little T's for trauma. Like you have. I've never heard of referred to as that yet.

Well, my. I've heard of this. My therapist likes to call it like little teas and big teas. So big tea would be losing my mother, dying, big tea. Little tea is that, Eddie? You just like. But we need little teas. I agree.

I agree. We need little teas. But this is going to be something that be quite traumatic for a child that. Eddie. I know. Well, you know what? Like the rest of the day, I was like, are you still mad at me for pushing you off the boat? And after at night, before he went to bed, he's like, no, I'm not mad anymore.

Okay. You guys call. This is a great thing for people to hit us up with on their voicemail line. Oh, great. Bad parent? Good parent. Yeah, because he wouldn't do it. Also, he lied. He said if you did it, he did it.

Thank you, Bones. All right, Eddie, I'm not calling you a bad parent. Good parent or bad parent? For Eddie throwing a seven-year-old kid off the boat. He had a life jacket on. Life jacket on. He floated. Our number is 877-77 Bobby.

Good parent, bad parent. It was fun, though. 877-77 Bobby. Watchbox, how's your weekend? Weekend was great. I mean, did yard work, and we went on some walks, played in the pool. The weather was great. I mean, we can't really do much with a two-year-old.

They can't do anything. I mean, I really can't. You can't. You can't. No, he's seven. Come on. Yeah. You guys send us a lot of emails asking for advice,

and sometimes I like to read them back to the show. Let's open up the mail bag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. He says, Good Morning Studio and Bobby Bone Show. My name is Robert. I have a parenting question.

So I remember growing up, my grandparents were always allowed to punish me just like my own parents would. That includes getting spanked, which rarely happened, thank goodness. I was talking my wife about that, with my wife about that, and wondering if we would ever give our parents or siblings permission to punish or even spank our kids if they were watching them for us. I said yes, I'd see nothing wrong with it. However, she was not into the idea as letting someone else spank our kids.

Would you let another family member spank your kids within their own judgment if they were looking after them for you. Did any of your parents give free reign to any of your family members to punish or spank you? Thank you, Robert. I'll go first. I don't have kids. I'll just tell you my story.

I'm not going to give my feedback. You can do that. I was, I had permission. Anybody could hit me. Like, it was a village. It was raised by a village. My grandmother, neighbor, anybody was allowed if I was bad to spank me.

I don't know that was the best parenting technique. But all the time. Ants. Didn't matter. If I did something that got me in trouble, it was, well, my grandmother raised me, though, for years, too. But it was, all right, go get a switch. Go pick one. Then I picked the smallest one and show her.

Then she'd tear me up with it. But I was punished by it in a group setting. But I don't have kids. Amy, I'll go to you. What do you think? Well, I was spanked only by my mom and my dad. And that's it. So, and I would say the same for my family.

We don't spank our daughter. We've never had to. With our son, we have before, and we're moving away from that a little bit. But I would only want it to come from me or my husband. Nobody else. No. Not your sister? No.

And trust her? I trust her. But that's not her. What about me? Sometimes. Uncle Lombe comes in with a switch. Yeah. And, you know, for him, they were spanked at the orphanage.

You know, my kids. Really? Wow. Well, yes. but only by Papa Pierre. So like the nannies didn't do it. It came not from women, but from a man. So with my son, it actually is more effective if it's my husband.

And it really has been something that worked for us because that's how he was already raised in a sense. But with our daughter, it hasn't been a thing at all. And now she's 13, so we wouldn't do that. But I just couldn't see anybody else in my family. family giving them, even if I trust them or not, putting that responsibility on them. It's a heavy thing and it should, yeah, I mostly put it on my husband anyway. Fanking's a weird thing, right?

I mean, when I really never thought about it until I got way, way older. And I was like, I used to just just get hit with anything. Like extension cords. Oh, nice. My grandmother would grab anything. Extension cords, a flaswater. And if I was real bad, she'd pull the fly swatting part off. Oh, my gosh.

Just wop me with the hangers. What? That wouldn't necessarily fly today, you think? Yeah, probably not today, but it wasn't fly today. Or is it flying and we just don't know about it? Oh, I'm sure. I think part of it was because I grew up in a really poor area where nobody really cared about us that much. We were just being spanked.

But that just the whole... Yeah, if I came on here right now and I was like, man, you know, my kids were awful last night. I just took the extension cord to all that. That would be... You're right. You're right. And also, we recognize, too, that we're saying this. Jess, but that is happening to some kids.

And that's really sad. And that's really sad. And it's happening. And it wasn't sad when it was happening to me. Yes. You feel sad to me because I was living it. Yeah. What do you think you'll do when you have kids?

I think they'll be so well trained that they'll never have to be punished. Oh, for sure, for sure. Your kids are going to be perfect. I didn't think about that. Yeah. It'll be so well trained. There's be no punishment. That's what we do.

You do. Train our kids. Yeah. I'm trained and disciplined. So I'll probably won't need it. I'll probably just give them a stern look. Oh, yeah. I understand.

Eddie, you got four kids? What's happening with you? So I'm like, Amy, you know, only me or my wife spank our kids. Our biological kids, we can't spank foster kids. We don't do that. Wow, really? No, and we don't even, if we do have, I've only had to do it twice, but if we have to spank our biological kids, we have to really separate them all.

So that way, the foster kid doesn't even know that's happening. It's very weird. So how do you scold your foster kid? Timeout. And again, timeout can't be in another room. It's got to be on the steps where we all are. You know, so just away from where the activity is happening. Like, if we're all in the living room, then you sit on the steps right there.

We can still see you, but you're in timeout and you can't participate. We call that time in. Time in? You can start. We learn that from a therapist if you want to take that. And then they feel like they're still in with you, but they can't move. They don't feel abandoned. It's effective.

They definitely do feel like something different is happening. Like, okay, all right, I can't be part of this party or whatever. I'm in trouble. And then as far as like my grandparents, my parents, I would let them. They, I don't think they would. My parents, my parents spoil my kids. Like, and my wife's parents, I don't think there's any thought of disciplining our children. They're just kind of like, oh, they can do whatever they want.

They're not our children. But I would give them permission if they asked. So Amy, no, Eddie, yes. I would say yes if it's one super close person that they're staying an extended amount of time with. Let's say if they're staying a week with them. What if they were, I could spank them? Could I? Your kids?

If they were staying with you a lot. Yeah. I would just hate for my kids if they were to exist. And then if they were somewhere for a long period of time and they were used to being spanked as disciplined and then they were never getting disciplined because oh, it doesn't allow. Yeah. Well, I can already tell you they're not going to. They'll probably be like, yeah, bring it on. Let Amy spick me because that's what my son does.

Anytime it's either between my husband or me, and it's been a while. But let's just say in the beginning when we had it. to spank. If I would spank him and then say, you know, well, dad'll be home. Do you want to just wait? He's like, no, can you just go ahead and do it and get it over with? Because I'm pretty weak. You guys can call and leave us a voicemail.

Leave it up there. 877 Bobby. I'm going to go, yes, it's okay if it's somebody you super trust and are super close to. Eddie says yes. I say no. I think it's all per parent, per kid anyway. Thank you for that mailback question. I think a lot of people probably wonder the same thing,

or experiencing the same thing, and I'm glad we got to talk about that. Morgan, if people want to send us an email, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, close it up. We've got your email and we let it on your air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah.

Quick hitters. Number five. A school in Fort Worth, Texas, was able to provide school supplies to all its students this year to save parents' money. So 170 families decided to pay it forward, and they came up with over $5,000 and bought supplies for another school that needed them. Dang. That's baller.

Multiple levels. First of all, how about the school for being able to figure out to have enough money to buy everybody's supplies? And then they, that is just an amazing story. Number four. Billy and Nellie Jones of Savannah, Georgia were born just four days apart back in 1920. They were married when they were both teenagers. And after 80 years as a couple,

they just celebrated their 100th birthdays together. So they're both 100 years old. Totally. And they did it in the house that they built together in 19. Wow. Okay. But the appreciation on that house, I think you probably make a pretty penny off that thing. That's great. That's awesome. Just being a hundred's awesome, much less your significant other. 80 years as a married couple. Oh, that's crazy.

Number three. A family left a note on their door thanking their delivery drivers, along with some snacks for them to take. This is one driver's reaction that will make you smile when you hear it. It's people like you that keep on going. You can't hear it in the club, but he does a hill kick at the end. when he's walking away. This is where Caitlin, who is such a giving person, was like, hey, there are a lot of delivery drivers

coming by too in long days. And so we set out a big basket. And for Uber or anyone, it was like, hey, take whatever you want. Well, the problem is she filled it up like three times. She's like, okay, we're out of stuff. But I had put on my Uber Eats app, like Postmates app, hey, there's a basket of free stuff.

Just take something after you drop off the food. And I left it up even though we'd already taken the basket back. And I forgot. People were, they were hitting me on the app going, hey, I'm out front. I dropped off the stuff. Where's the free stuff? And I was like, oh, no, I forgot to take that message down.

I know. A little disappointing. Number two. After spending nearly seven years in the New Jersey shelter system, Brooklyn, the dog, has finally been adopted. Wow, seven years. The Hamilton Township Animal Shelter in Trenton celebrated in a post. It said it took 2,536 days,

but this beautiful girl has finally been adopted. That's awesome. Seven years. There we go. And the big one here. Number one. Will Clawson just got engaged. So naturally, he asked his brother Henry Joe, who has Down syndrome, if he'd serve as his best man in his wedding.

The exchange was filmed and put on Will's Instagram. This is awesome. Here's a clip. So where are you please say yes to be my best man? What? We want to be my best man? Yes. Isn't that awesome?

Love it. That's awesome. That's what? The Good News Countdown. It's time for the good news. With Bobby Tell me something good An auto shop owner

named T.J. Crossman is about to give away a car to a person in need. It's the fourth car that he's given away. Every year of the last couple years he's done this. He's accepting nominations now.

He's been motivated to give back since he survived about with cancer 15 years ago. And so what he does is he collects parts, old car, and then he kind of rebuilds it and then gives it to somebody. Wow.

Amazing. Like over the year, he spends his time doing this. Isn't that crazy? That's good. That's what I'm talking about. That was tell me something good. People's biggest pet peeves with people they live with. Okay, here are the top five. And then I actually ask Caitlin what her pet peeves are about me before we left, before I left this morning. Number five, having people over to the house without a heads up, all right? Number four, eating someone else's food. Yeah, that's frustrating. I feel like I make a lot sometimes. And then

my husband will just eat it. And I'm like, well, that was supposed to be for the whole family. It's tomorrow. Number three, lounging. Just hanging, just like, bleh. I feel like Eddie's a lounger at his house. You think I just lounge all day? Yeah, I do.

I do. Not all the day, but. For a lot of the day, I do. Louncing is cool. If it's, it's lounge time. But if it's not, then it's annoying. Number two is wasting electricity. That's a pet peeve that people do.

Yeah. Then number one is not stacking your dishes. And I wonder if that's stacking or if it's doing the dishes. like the number one thing is your partner or the person you live with not doing the dishes. Right. Bothers them to you? Yeah.

What's your pet people with your husband? Coffee grinds everywhere. Right now it's a problem. At our new house, we have this one little part of the countertop that's dedicated to the coffee, and now he thinks like that can just be his space, where it doesn't matter. I want to know every day where how he thinks those coffee grounds

that are all over the counter and the coffee like stains, how they go away. every day. That's what I want to know. Yeah. Who do you think? You think she just magically disappears? No, every day.

I clean it up. What do you think kids would be with you? Nothing. Okay. And I'm going to tell you. No, it's not true. I know that I'm annoying for sure, so we would need to ask him, though.

And I don't have any with any things with Caitlin. She's perfect as far as living with. Makes the bed have no issue whatsoever. There's like nothing? Like sometimes she wants to talk and you don't really want to talk. Oh, well, she wants to talk all the. time. Right. And I'm not at a talk. Yeah. I'm just trying to think of something because there has to be something. Nothing comes to mind. And I asked her and I get, this is very early when I woke her up and

asked her this. So I was like, hey, what are your pet peeves with me? I don't know that they're pet peeves, but things you do that I just don't understand. That's okay. Go ahead. Okay. Um, if something is sealed chips, uh, rice cakes, whatever it is, if it's sealed with one of those little plastic topers or even the wire ones that you spin and twist, you don't use them again. Like you open it and then you throw it away, the twisty thing or it just goes. But then I wrap it and then lean it on the wrap. Everything is stale all the time. All right. Anything else? Yeah. You, um, sometimes you take your plates or your bowls to the dishwasher. I can't even talk. Sink. It's early. It's before the show. Go ahead. I take it to the sink. You take it to the sink. You take it to the sink.

and you don't rinse them. I fill it with water. No. In fact, last night you filled it with water and I was so taken aback that I didn't even bring it up because I was like, don't make a big deal about this. Don't make a big deal about it because then he might not do it again if I make a big deal about it. Okay.

And anything else? Yeah. You don't always put the toilet seat down. That's true. And I feel bad about that because sometimes you'll come out and be like, I just fell in. And what do I always say? I'm getting better. That brings me to another thing that you do.

That kind of drives me insane. you bring up things that you do that are normal to try to get me to give you some sort of props. You're like, hey, I fed Stanley this morning. And I'm like, I fed him every day, three times a day for the past however long. That's the end of this segment. All right. Sorry, she had nothing. All right, back to you, which is me in the studio.

Oh, my gosh. You're like my son. What? I made my bed today. Well, you're supposed to. I brushed my teeth today. No, you're not getting rewarded for something you are supposed to do every day. It's not like that Chris Rock joke from way back in the day.

as to why they should be able to play tackle football in Utah. They of course should be able to play tackle football. Absolutely. If you can make the team, go make the team. Now, I don't think that they should be giving any special liberty. You know, well, you're a girl, so we're going to make it easier for you. No, but of course they should be able to play. I know girls when I was younger that could have played. There were girls.

We played Sparkman High School. There was a girl that played defensive end for them. She was like third string, but she got in, and every dude in our team was scared of death. Not that they were scared of her, but they were scared that she was going to make a play on them. And then it will be on film. So absolutely. If a girl is strong enough and fast enough, same as a guy, let her play football. What if a girl wanted to play in the NFL?

Great. If she's good enough, I don't care what sex you are. If she's good enough, she should be able to play. So do you think that doesn't work out, or that's not applying like in basketball because there are girl basketball teams and boy basketball teams? There's no real girl school football teams. Yes, in a way, I would say that, though, that if there was a woman who was a good enough basketball player, she would play in the NBA. Yeah. Okay.

But yeah, mostly men get a lot stronger, just generally speaking, we're bigger. And we kind of outsize most women, but not all. No, I agree. I hear what you're saying. I'm just genuinely curious. Because, I mean, with football and these girls having to put their case out there, there's no girls' football team at schools. So they should have somewhere to play if they want to play.

I advocate for women having a shot to do anything that guys do. Yeah. Okay. Cool. You want to pee standing up? Have at it. Maybe tough for you. No, they've invented stuff for that.

All right, what else you got? So Dolly Pardon says that she has never been in a fight with her husband, Carl Dean. My husband and I have never fought. We've never bickered back and forth because I never wanted us to say bad things that we would have to remember. But we'll just kind of walk off or go do something else and, you know, kind of let that die down. I have to work at anything. marriage is a business too. Yeah, she said that she treats her marriage like a business partnership,

and that's how she handles business. So that's how she handles her marriage. And I was like, oh, dang, I've only been married 14 years, and I've had lots of rights. What else you got? Shoot. So there's a guy who gets paid to go to people's funerals and settle scores or take care of things or tell secrets

after the loved one or the person has passed on. So it's like, hey, go take care. after I die, you can go ahead and tell some people this. Or he says people also hire him to get rid of things like money, drugs, or guns that they don't want their family or friends to find. If I die, you got to take care of this for me because I don't want people to find it. He's basically a fix-it guy. Yes. And you pay him as you're dying, like $10,000, right?

Yep. And then he goes and takes care of whatever crap you need. The thing is, here's why this job can be perfect. You could be paid. He dies. He doesn't know if you didn't do it. Exactly. You have 10,000 bucks a pop.

Nobody ever knows you didn't do it. You don't even have to go to the funeral. You just chill. Because the person's dead. Exactly right. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Stay home, it's something good. Addison had a birthday coming up. She was turning eight years old. Her mom comes to her and says, Addison, what do you want for your birthday? She says, Mom, I don't want presents. I want donations to the animal shelter. So her mom posted on Facebook said,

no presents, only donations. and people came through with 12,000 pounds of food. Wow. See, sometimes Facebook does do good things. Most time not, yeah? Like 99.9% not. But occasionally one of those stories makes you go, that's why Facebook's good.

And that's why that little girl is good. Got all those presents you could have had. But instead all those animals get to eat. There you go. That's good news right there. Tell me something good. That was Tell Me Something Good. I'm going to listen to a voicemail here from Belinda,

from Albany, Oregon, right outside of Portland. Here you go. Hi, Bobby. I don't know how long you guys have been on up here, but for at least four or five months I've been listening to you. The first time I listened to you guys and heard Amy's positivity,

you're just giving kind soul. I love you all. Bye. Thank you very much. Well, take more of those calls. I'll be honest with you. Load those up. Thank you.

Thanks for listening to us in Portland, too. We're still really new up there, so we appreciate that support and that encouragement. We love it. All right, let's go over to Amy now and get the morning corny. The morning corny. Why are basketball players messy eaters?

Why are basketball players messy eaters? They're always... Say it, say it. It's funny. Say it. Come on. Are they? Yeah, come on.

They're always driveling. Yeah, dribble. That was the morning corny. One of the rare times, Amy, quits a joke right in the middle of it. And then we have to encourage you across the finish line. Because, I mean, I liked it. And then when I started to really say it, I thought, I was already anticipating that you're going to be like, oh, that was lame. Don't do that.

The purpose. Yeah. I know. The purpose is, of course, they're lame. But I don't always think that they're lame. I like them. If your husband said, I just don't want to wear my wedding ring anymore, would you care? A little bit.

I would wonder why? Because why have you been wearing it for this many years? and now suddenly it bothers you. It's uncomfortable. Almost one third of new husbands are choosing not to wear a wedding ring. In the room here, lunchbox, do you wear yours? Nope. Eddie, do you wear yours?

Of course. Have it on right now. Scoo, Steve, do you wear yours? Yeah, I wear it every day. I feel weird without it. Got it on. And listen, that's about here too. One of three, which is lunchbox.

But why doesn't lunchbox wear it? Yeah, I want to know this. I've just never worn jewelry, never owned a watch, never had anything. So it felt weird, and so I just don't wear it. No need to. So it's either because of their job, or they find it uncomfortable or bothersome. That's it.

The job? Yeah, the job. I mean, I don't want the ladies to think. No, it's just uncomfortable. It feels weird to have it on your hand all the time. According to marriage counselors, if a husband is ring free from the beginning, there's nothing to panic about. They just don't like wearing rings.

Right. I can do that. However, if he's not ring free, then all of a sudden, wants to be ring free, there's probably something to think about there. Like why? Which is my point. Yeah. And my husband does take his off for work, though.

What if he wanted to wear around his neck, like on a chain? Huh? Guys do that? Yeah. No. Why? Why do you want to do that? I think that's actually pretty cool.

What? Why? Because it's closer to your heart? No, just because I don't want to wear anything on my hand. I have trouble with watches. I never wear watches because any jewelry around my hands, I just don't wear anything. Okay, you run that by Caitlin. What?

You're wearing it as a necklace eventually whenever y'all get married one day. Probably not a fight I'd like to get into. So, I'm just trying to, you know, I'm. I avoid that stuff at this point. On the Bobby Bones show now. Josh Turner. What's up, man? How's it going?

Good. Is this the first time you've been in the studio? In this studio, yeah. So, since we've knew, how long has it been since you've been here? It's been years, huh? Has it none, you had a number one. And then when did you come in for your book? I've seen you at remotes.

That I know I've seen you. It hasn't been that long. Well, let me say this. Well, it seems like I missed you. That's what it feels like. My heart just feels like it missed you, Josh. Every day seems like a year. Dang.

Josh Turner is here. I was thinking about you coming in today, and I wondered, when you go through a drive-thru, do people ever recognize your voice through the, just the person like, welcome to Starbucks? You're like, I like, I like, I'd like a good, a double shot a bun. They're like, are you Josh Turner? Does that ever happen? Not at the drive-thru. But, yeah, usually when I go into a restaurant, if I'm by myself, I just, I can, when I open my mouth, it gives it away.

so. When did your voice start to go that deep? What age? I had been singing bass and stuff in a, in a quartet when I was in my teens early in high school, but it didn't have the depth and the texture that it has now because I didn't really know how to technically use my voice. I didn't know there was a proper way to use your voice. And so I injured my voice in 1996. That led to my first trip to Nashville to the Vanderbilt Voice Clinic. And so I, through all that rehabilitation process, I had to kind of learn how to sing and talk all over again. And that was when I kind of started noticing that my voice was developing into what you hear now. And so it was really kind of a blessing in disguise. So it's probably, you know, I'd say technically like early,

early college when it really kind of took shape. Josh Turner's here. He's going to play. First, I requested that you play your man. If you're cool with that. Yeah. Man. That is. That It's such a jam, and it's such an upbeat song, and it makes me want to be somebody's man. You know, all the things that should make you feel. Yeah. So if you don't mind, here is Josh Turner here on The Bobby Bone Show. Baby locked the door and turn the lights down low.

Put some music on it's soft and slow. Baby, we ain't got no place to go. I hope you understand. And I've been thinking about this all day long. Never felt a feeling quite as strong. I can't believe how much it turns me on just to be your man. There you go, Bobby Bones. And now we talk out of it now.

That's right, folks. That's Josh Turner coming to you this morning. That's right. Traffic today is 72 degrees feeling good. I'm drawing away to work today. Be sure to wave at somebody. Just don't touch their hand with your hand because you know what happens then.

Nice job, nice job. Josh Turner's here on this record, Country State of Mind. There's a track. You do a Hank Jr. song with Chris Jansen. It's Country State of Mind. The record's named after this. Here's a clip of Josh and Chris Jansen

doing Country State of Mind. You have Chris Jansen. You have Runaway June. You have Maddie and Tay. Special guest appearance for Randy Travis, a duet with Chris Christopperson. Who's making all these calls for you? Because you have the most loaded cell phone I've ever seen.

You need to get all these folks on your record. I did all of them pretty much. All but Allison Moore, which was kind of a surprise because I had done A Lone and Forsaken, and then my producer, Kenny Greenberg, said, hey, you mind if I bring in Allison Moore to sing on this? I said, absolutely, go for it. Because I was listening to her when I was in college

and always loved, you know, her voice. And she actually had a song called Long Black Train, so I'm not the only one. In a second, I'm going to play a couple more tracks from country state of mind. We do something with guests called Urban Legends. Stories we read about them online that we don't know if they're true or not.

I have one for you that I read about you, and I was like, is that even true? They're not a whole lot urban about me, so. Well, we'll see. I'll run it by you.

When you were a student at Belmont, you went to Johnny Cash's property. You saw the gate was open. You took it as a sign. So you went knocked on the door. The doorknob wiggles. The door swings open. And there stands Johnny Cash. He and I both jump back, Josh Turner says,

because he didn't expect to see me. And I sure didn't expect to see him. True or false? That was very true. Wow. Wait, you tried to walk inside someone's house? I didn't try to walk in his house. The gate from the land.

He knocked on the door. I know, but then he said he wiggled the knob. I think Johnny Cash wiggled the knob. Or did you? No, you said the doorknob wiggled. Yeah, which was him. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, okay. I thought, sorry. He said the doorknob, and I thought he just straight up was like, I see this as a son. I'm just going to walk right in. And I was like, what? Okay, that makes sense now. That's crazy. But then what happens?

Right then, does he call the cops or do you guys go and make a salad or what happens? You know, I was just a young, dumb college student that had stars in my eyes. And I just, I was just trying to meet my. hero because I had been reading his autobiography and I had read about the neurological disorder that he had been diagnosed with and I got to thinking one day that if I didn't get to meet Johnny Cash before he died that I would be extremely disappointed and so I knew I was taking a risk but I didn't really know what to expect and so I get there and like like you say the the gate was completely open I drive in I park I walk up through the door I knock and I

nobody answered. So I kind of walked around the corner of the house, and it was just pitch black dark around the house. And I said, I probably should stay over here in the light. And so I went back. I knocked again. There's a stained glass window beside the door, and I could see through the window,

and there's a painting of June on the wall. So I was like, this has got to be the place. So I knocked really hard, and I hear this voice from the depths of the house saying, coming, coming. And my heart just started fluttering. And so, like I say, the door swings open and there's Johnny Cash. And he and I both kind of flinched.

And once we got over the initial shock, I just started kind of introducing myself, telling him why I was there. You know, I was a big fan of him, he was been reading his book and all this kind of stuff and just thanked him for the impact that he had had on me. And he was just very nice and down to earth and shook my hand. He laughed, you know, when I told him my heart, was about to beat out of my chest and he kind of laughed and said well you know we're all human and and um so like i say he spent a few minutes with me and then he said i'm going to go back in and rest

and i said i understand so he he shuts the door and i start walking back to my truck and i just broke down crying because i could not believe that it had just happened and then the morning that i woke up and found out that he had passed away i was so thankful that i had taken that leap of faith to try to go meeting because that was the only opportunity I ever had to meet him. Wow, what a story. Wow. I mean, because cool and you seem very normal, but also that could be very scary for an artist. I mean, even with you now, that means someone, a big Josh Turner fan could see your gate open.

It's gates open, right? You know, come knock at your door, which you're stable and see, you know, but if someone was not. That would be very... Somebody asked me earlier, like, what I learned from that. And I said, well, I've learned that if somebody knocks on my door, don't shoot them, because they might end up being famous and I don't want them hating me. I love... Talking bad about me in interviews.

Josh Turner is here. I'm going to ask you one more thing here before we get into another song. But you have four boys. What about you is producing all the boys and no girls? A lot of testosterone, I guess. His deep voice. Riders in the sky. nicknamed me the tornado of testosterone, so I guess that's it. I don't know.

So are you going to have a girl? Are you trying for a girl? We did. We tried four times. Tried and failed four times. That's funny. All right. Josh Turner's here. By the way, let me mention again. On the 21st. But there's a bunch of tracks out now. I'm no stranger with the rain. Country state of mind with Chris Jansen. That's a Hank Jr. song. I can tell, by the way, you dance. I've got it made. By the way, that's a John Anderson song and he's actually on the song too.

Yeah. Aha. Now that's probably a little nerve-wracking because you cover a song with a buddy but you cover a song with the... Let me play. Do you have a club of that, Raymondo? You're singing it with the guy. With John, Mr. Seminole win. So you can't sing it like John Anderson

when he's singing on. Yeah. So it's a lot of pressure. Did you guys sing together? I had already done my part but I was in the studio when he did his part. That's got to be so cool, right? Yeah. Yeah, so.

Dang. All right, all right. And I just kept listening to how he did his. I was like, is he going to make me have to go back in and sing, and re-sing my part? You know, but it all worked out. And you'd be like, hey, John, while you're here, let's do some swinging. Yeah.

Oh, man. All right. Josh are going to play Forever and Ever Amen, which is, you know, for me, one of the songs growing up in Arkansas, Kissing 96. Randy Travis. Yeah. Why this song?

Why did you pick this song? Uh, it's Randy's signature song. And, uh, and I had seen several events around town where somebody would, you know, go out and sing this song and they would have Randy come out and sing, you know, the last amen. And, um, you know, I just, uh, I was like, man, you know, we need a recorded version of that. And so, um, so I asked Randy if he would come in and, and, uh, I asked him, I said, hey, you know, I've seen you do this live in a lot of different settings. And, um, but we're in the studio now.

So if you want to sing more than just the last amen, feel free. And he said, nope. So, so I was like, well, Randy Travis is literally getting the last word. Well, and let's, Randy's here, which is really cool. So we can bring him in now. So Randy Travis is here too, which is awesome. Just so grateful that you guys came in to play some music here. You may think that I.

I'm talking foolish. You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free. You may wonder how I can promise you now. This love that I feel for you always will be. You're not just time that I'm killing. I'm no longer one of those guys. As sure as I live This love that I give

It's gonna be yours Until the day that I die Oh baby I'm gonna love you forever Forever and ever Amen As long as old men Sit and talk about the way as long as old women sit and talk about old men if you wonder how long I'll be faithful

I'll be happy to tell you again I'm gonna love you forever and ever forever and ever Forever and ever Forever and ever Nice, that was great Come on Wow Josh Turner, Randy Travis One take

Wow Wow, wow, wow Great job, both of you guys, great job We're just such big fans of you two Mr. Travis just grew up When I think growing up in Central Arkansas as a kid It was just absolutely It was mostly Randy Travis

And Garth And that's pretty much it. That's pretty much all it was. There was Randy Travis and Garth, and I know with Amy is a little more George straight than it was. It was probably more George straight and Randy Travis.

That's why I don't know too. I can't, I don't want to look. I'm getting a moment. I don't. We have so many people in and out of here. But that song just took me, it takes me right back to my childhood.

And like my dad and friends and riding around. And I had no idea you were even here today. So I guess I was a little. a little shocked when you came in and then just to see, I don't know, that song just touches a lot of people. And so it's just cool to hear that today and then hear you be a part of it. And now I'm all emotional. I don't even know why. I'm like, what is happening? Well, it's proof of the influence and the impact that one person can have on the world,

because, you know, you think about your memories and how Randy's music affected you. And, you know, Randy, you know, is the reason that I moved to Nashville because he made me realize that it's possible for somebody that grew up in a small tobacco farming community to come to Nashville, to come to the big city and get a record deal. And, you know, so he inspired me. You know, Randy, we were out. I was out with some buddies and they had me, they said, hey, they don't know a lot about country music. And they said, hey, make like a 10-song playlist. and so I had digging up bones was one of them that I put on there man you talk about being a kid of my grandma digging up bones

Randy that was my jam I sang as I could the other day so it's really nice to have you here that's the first country song I ever sang in front of a crowd is it because I'm so deep and I was 13 years old had no idea what a negligee was so I appreciate that I was making all the old ladies in church kind of blush you know so that's funny okay Josh Turner, Randy, great to see you. Always, always a pleasure. This has been just a real fun experience for all of us.

It's a real special day for us. So thank you guys. All right, there he is. Josh Turner, Randy Travis, everybody. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. There's this woman, Kari Woods, a mom of five.

She was at vacation Bible school at her church praying for an eight-year-old girl named Abby who needed a new kidney. and after she found out that she was a match, she thought, you know what? I really feel like the Lord is telling me to give this little girl my kidney. So she did, and the surgery went well, and Abby is now in good health, jumping rope, playing outside, and doing all of that, all because this woman learned about her at vacation Bible school to pray for her. Wow. And she was the answered prayer.

Wow. You know, I love it. Yeah, me too. That's a good one. That's tell me something good right there. That was Tell Me Something Good.

free custom yard analysis that's get sunday dot com it's happening everybody thank you so much for hanging out with us this morning uh here is andrew from california morning studio i just wanted to get your advice bobby Me and my girl are currently in a long-distance relationship, and I know you and Caitlin were at that point. But I just want some advice. We're both young. We're both trying to live it up. So, because some advice would be great. Thank you.

My advice, and it was the first ever long-distance relationship I'd ever done. We just always had a plan next. We weren't ever just living separately going, I wonder when we'll see each other again. Even if it was far away, we had a plan. We were looking forward to when she would come here or I would go there. But then again, we got hit with Corona pretty quick. Because we dated for a few, only a few months. And then she was just kind of trapped here, which in the end was the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

Right. So my only advice to you, something like your young guy, is just make sure that, you know, whenever you leave, you already have your next little spot planned. Because you're looking forward to something always. Otherwise, you kind of just feel like you're floating. Caitlin used to come to town and then she would get here and then start to get sad already because she knew she'd have to leave in a few days. And I was like, wait a minute. Don't get sad until you're actually leaving. Yeah, I do that.

Like, just be happy for a second. Yeah. And so, and then I'd take her to the airport and I would talk with it. I would say, like, hey, there's no need to get sad. You're going to come back. We already have our next trip planned. Like, that's why it worked for us. They're like, don't get sad.

It's not, you're coming back in three weeks or two weeks. And then you're going to get stuck here. And then you're going to live out of one single small suitcase for three months. Yeah, that would be my advice there, Andrew. Good luck. It can work. It's tough. It can work, but there's also got to be a bit of a plan for how to end the long distance as well.

There's got to be an end to the means. Let's do one more. Here you go. This is Heather in North Dakota. Just going to add your own song. Had your song as a couple. We have a few. I mean, her and I haven't really talked about this on the level of just picking a song.

But I've made a list here. The first time we kind of went somewhere together. And she knows every 90s country song, everywhere to every 90s country song. And so we were Brooks and Dunn Neon Moon had Oh I know what was happening Eddie and I were practicing

Because we were playing with Brooks and Dunn And I was learning Making sure I knew every word of the song Because you feel like you do Until you have to sing it with them Right And you're like oh And then we just kind of say

That song reminds me of her Because we just sang it for an entire weekend So that's not our song But that's one Also the Duolipa song Don't Stop Now Reminds me of her When we first met

Because I didn't even love this song, but she liked the song, and she went to the same church as Dua Lipa. And so, I thought that was cool. Yeah, that is cool. And so that song was a big one. Jesse and the Rippers forever. You serious? Yeah. Why?

Why this? Because she used to play it all the time and be like, this is my song for you. And she was kind of kidding, but not really. And also, who doesn't love full house? True. And Jesse's playing this at the wedding. Forever. As a jam.

But fine, the one that I would say is our song, not because we've picked it or had this conversation. And this song, because she says that when she knew that I was the one for her, I took her to a Matt Carney concert. And we were in Oklahoma City because I surprised her by going to the Oklahoma City Thunder game. And then Matt Carney was playing. He's a friend of mine. And so after the game, we went over and watched the back end of his show

and hung out with him afterward. But he played this song at the very end of it. And she said, during this song is when she knew that I was the one. And it's nothing left to lose. So, and then we listen to that song all the time, too, because we know all the words to it. And that was a real special time for us.

And then in the song, too, he talks about moving to Nashville, you know, and probably in her life, too, she's thinking, like, oh, my gosh, like, I could live in Nashville. Well, that whole song, too, is like, let's just go for it. Like, we got nothing to lose. Let's just go get it. So, yeah, and it's a jam too. Where were you in that, since you know where you were, like the game and the concert, if that's when she had the moment of knowing where were you at that moment?

Already knew. You knew too? Well, yeah, because I planned the whole trip. I'm not planning a trip like that for somebody that I'm not berserk over. So, yeah, and she said, I haven't seen it, and I'm like going to ask her for it, that she took notes on her phone that night on how she felt because she didn't want to let that kind of go by and she wanted to, I guess maybe when she gets mad at me later, she can go check it.

Her little diary. But I think, and I can ask her, I think that's probably our, if we had to sit and vote on a song, I think that's it. Nothing left to lose, Matt Carney. But those other ones remind me of her a lot. Every time I hear neon moon now, it's like,

I just think about. That's cool. You have a song? Not like your first dance at your wedding, but like a song that you and your husband when you first started being together, was like your song? I mean, ours is anything.

When we first started dating, he loves Texas country. So, and Pat Green ended up being one of our songs. But I would say anything Jerry Jeff, Pat Green, Robert O'Keene, and even some other guys that aren't as known as those Texas Country guys. So you have a whole format as your song? Even now. Oh, all the Texas Country guys.

Anything with the Red Dird in it is our song. No, but I will say like even Parker McCollum, song that's out now, when it comes on the radio, it instantly has that Texas country feel. And I think of him already with that song. And he loves it. But there's not a song. Oh, but I can think of right now, unless it's Pat Green crazy. But Eddie? You said not that. I think ours kind of came later. We had our early ones, but I think Fix You now has become our song because of just the roller coaster ride that our marriage has been ups, ups, downs. And we've always just kind of ended up being there for each other. So when Fix You comes on, we both just get really

quiet and say like, gosh, I love this song. I do, too. What station are you listening to or fix you want to? On our playlist. I was going to say, no, not the radio. Because I'll listen to the alternative stuff too, but they never play fixing. No, they don't.

It's always like hateful stuff now. I'm having some work done on the house outside, and I was walking out, coming over here today. And it smells like WD40. And I love the smell of WD40. That and gasoline. Like, probably shouldn't love it as much as I do, but I could just sit there and take it.

it in. Is there a smell that is a little weird, but you love it? Yeah, and I just realized how much I missed it or loved it from back in my tennis days, because we were cleaning out the garage and I found some tennis ball cans and open them up to put some stuff away. And when I popped up in the can, I just sniffed it. And so brand new tennis ball smell. Eddie, you? My weird one is Parmesan cheese. People say it stinks. It's so bad, but I really like the way it smells. Do you guys like gas? Oh, no, no. No. No. No. You do. don't. No.

You act like it's a bad thing. It's stinky. Sometimes skunks smell good to me. I'm not kidding. Why? I don't know. Not all skunks, but there are certain, maybe I don't know what's what they ate that day. But there's some skunks that if I drive down the road, I'm like, oh, this is kind of a

Do you like the smell of? No, I don't. See, because that smells the same to me. That's skunk. Oh, it does? Really? Yeah. Do you like the smell of Mary J?

Mary Jane What was it called? Mary Jane. Is it like I'm Mary Jane? Yeah. Did you say Jay or Jane? You said Jay. I said Jay.

I thought it was like doctor's cousin. Mary Jane, Dr. Judge. Yeah. Not particularly, no. Yeah, me, not at all. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lunchbox, do you have a smell you like?

Yeah, I like smelly socks. Like every time I take my socks off, I have to smell them. I just, I don't know why. Something about my. That smell. I was like, mm, good day. Morgan, you? Yeah, I love new car smells.

Like getting in a fresh car, that leather. Smells great. One more, Ramundo, what you got? Yeah, whenever my chick leaves something in the oven too long and it gets burnt, sets off the fire alarm, I actually love the smell, and I just slowly fan it. That's weird. You like burnt food? Yeah.

Yeah, I really do. I don't know what it is, but it definitely brings up my senses a little bit. That's funny. I hadn't heard that before.

Oh, cheap is like you're being cheap like a cheap skate.

You're stinging with your money for no real reason. Nice. I like that. That's a good definition. Like you're just stingy for the sake of it. Right. And then being frugal is you have to be smart about how you spend your money. And you're trying to respect that. Okay.

Cheap or frugal? Not taking your turn to buy everyone around to drinks. Cheap. I would say cheap. Yeah. Buying generic food products. Like, frankly, as a kid, we never got the boxes of cereal. Way to look at the bottom.

And instead of frosted flakes, we had flakes of frost. All right. That is frugal. That's frugal. Yeah, that's not cheap, that's frugal. Because you really can, it's like generic medicine. They're like, do you want the generic brand? Of course.

Same thing, man. There's no difference. Yeah. Regifting is regifting cheap or frugal. Cheap. Ooh, I don't know. Because sometimes you have a gift that maybe isn't for you, but you can give it to somebody else and they're going to love it. I'm going to go with frugal on regifting.

Okay. Because I never regift because I'm like, oh, I just want to get rid of this. But if I have something I'm not going to use and it's a giving it. to Eddie? I'll take it too. I'm gonna go frugal. Okay. Really? Is anybody else with me on this? Y'all all think it's frugal? I think it's frugal.

I don't think people are gonna disagree with you angrily. But generally speaking, I would think it's frugal. Okay. But it's your opinion. Not ours. Watering down the soap and soap dispensers, cheap or frugal? Frugal. Ooh, that's cheap. Soap gets right to my heart, though. You gotta be clean. Soap gets right to my heart.

Okay. I'm going cheap on that one. Okay. There's some things you just shouldn't. Yeah. Okay. Not blasting the air conditioning right now when it's super hot. It depends on what you can afford.

But let's just say you can afford it and you're my husband. You're being cheap. I was going to go frugal. Okay. You have a personal story there. No, he is bringing frugal. But I don't need to be hot when we can have it on. But I, it does.

I am thankful for my air. because I know some people do not have it. And that's been cheaper frugal. Thank you. We should do corny after dark. Okay. For our listeners, they're new to this show. Amy does a segment an hour and a half or so ago.

It's called the morning corny. It's a little corny joke. Fun for the kids, most. That's how it started. Amy loves corny jokes. But now there's a new hybrid where it's a little more adult. I don't know if I can say some other things. Well, we'll bleep it.

Ray is sitting there with the bleep button. Mm-hmm. And if we have to bleep it, we will. Okay, Ray, are you ready? Yep. And now the morning corny after dark. Why are men's voices

louder than women? Why are men's voices louder than women? Men have an antenna. I don't get it. Is that a whole joke? Or did you end... How is it? Men have an antenna?

Oh, you're gonna have to beep this, Ray. She means they're... Oh, my gosh. No. I didn't until Amy did her hand in an upward motion. And you started laughing as soon as you finished it. She's still laughing.

My eyes are going to water. I'm not going to be. I've started modestly. And we do not have antennas, by the way. I have a little, little. Transmister radio. Yeah, yeah. Okay.

I need a tissue. Okay, okay. Hit it again. Okay. And now the morning corny after dark. What's the best part about gardening? What's the best part about gardening? She's laughing so hard

She can't even say it Come on What's the best part about gardening Getting down and dirty with your house That's kind of funny That's kind of corny That's really funny Yeah okay

All right All right hit me with another one And now the morning corny After dark What do you get when you cross A B-Boother with a potato? Wait, the setup's dirty Yeah

Wait, okay. So we got to beep the first, you know, we'll do the beep the first thing. What do you get when you cross a... With the potato. Oh my gosh. That's bad, man. I think Ray's fingers getting time from bleeping everything. Bobby Bone Show.

Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes up from California. A 25-year-old man showed up the hospital. He said, man, I got attacked by two guys. slash me with a razor blade. They vandalized my car. They beat me up. Turns out he just got into one car collision and he wanted to blame someone else. So it was his fault. He wrecked the car. He wrecked the car. Wanted the cover of it. So he

tried to say that they beat up his car and beat up him. He was, uh... You're drunk. Yeah, there you go. When Lunchbox does the drinky motion with his hand, none of our listeners can see it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that whole thing is missed unless I say lunchbox did a drinky motion with his hand. So he was drinking. Yeah, they believe alcohol was involved. So he doesn't want to get a DUI. So he says he got beat up. So he got beat up. But he wrecked his car and hurt himself. Got it. There you go. I'm Lunchbox. That's your

Bonehead story of the day. They say that you're eventually going to enjoy the same food as your significant other. The longer you're together, the more closely your food is, you'll start liking it. Sometimes just because it's around more. You're like, well, I'll kind of cave in.

Most people, I know with us, we do lunch and most dinners together. Not always breakfast because of how early we wake up here. But they say being around someone will shift your taste. Now, I read this story, and she talked about it on the show. She's never had a condiment. Never had mustard.

Never had ketchup. Hates it. When I eat mustard and I love mustard, she won't kiss me until I brush my teeth. That's crazy. And she has to know I brush my teeth. She won't touch the bottle. She will make these wraps. She's great cook, so she'll do all this stuff, make it, make it, make it.

But she won't touch the mustard bottle. She's so disgusted by it. And that will never change. And I'm always like, can you just squirt it on there? We have masks, put a mask on. Squirt it on there. She will not do it, though. And she, again, she won't kiss my face if I've eaten mustard and haven't brushed my teeth.

That's, I mean, and yet, it's not like she had some bad experience where she ate it and it made her sick. Like, she just never even tried condiments. And her mom's the same way. So crazy. But I'm like, you ever had a hot French fry with cold ketchup? Yeah, what? It's amazing. They don't dip it in anything?

She'll do a little bar. Oh yeah, that's right. Barbecue sauce is the only one. Anything your husband liked that you didn't like that now you like? It's probably more so that he now eats the way I like. Well, your way is a little weird. Almost vegan. No, I've started to eat. Well, I guess to that point, I eat stuff that he grills now and I used to not really eat meat.

So he's affected me that way. But yeah, he eats a lot more plants than he used to because he did not eat salads or When we got married, he made one dish. And he called it the pasta tuna surprise. What was the surprise? Halipinos. Oh, I thought a surprise was it. Did it make you sick or not?

No. No, but it was spaghetti noodles, a can of tuna, and maybe mustard. And then the jalapinos were the surprise part. Well, I can put mustard on a steak. Like, I can eat mustard on any meat whatsoever. But she's not going to do mustard. But, okay, we're done. We'll see you tomorrow.
