Mr. Bobby Bow! Welcome to the show. We got a big show today. So, supposed to have Bradley Cooper on today from, well, Bradley Cooper. From A Star is Born.

From The Hangover. From. Oh, the one. Wedding Crashers. There you go. Yeah. From. Oh, gosh.

Joy. Joy, good one. Oh, by the way, Moore Studio! Morning! Also, Morgan Evans comes in today. He's got an album out today. So it'd be a good show. You know what I was looking at is that Eddie now has a pose or Instagram account,

someone who created a fake secondary account. How cool is that? It's producer Eddie. with an extra E. I wouldn't promote it. My bad. Because what happens is people create these accounts because they've done it to me about 10 million times.

They go after like our listeners and ask for money. Yeah, that's how I found out. Listeners were telling me, hey, there's another guy acting as you like trying to get follows. But that is kind of weird and you've dealt with that. It's not trying to get follows. It's they follow people and send them messages and go, hey, I see you're a big fan. And eventually they try to get like an Apple gift card or.

That's not good. Well, Lunchbox is upset. Because he's mad that you got one before he did. Yeah. A posture account. Okay. How is that possible? I am more famous than Eddie.

And so why would they go out to producer Eddie instead of me? Like, I don't understand that. And I saw it on Eddie's Twitter and I was like, how does he get a fake account and not me? Like, come on. Show me some respect, hackers. You want radio lunchbox of three Xs or what? Yes. He's always about this fame and popularity.

There's no fame. You understand we're just radio goobers, right? Yeah, but we're famous enough where they're not. knocking off your account and Eddie's account. Why aren't they not? Amy, don't you feel a little offended? You don't have a fake account? Oh, I do have one.

It's a... Oh, got it. It's just you lunch. It's, um, like, at radio and... No, no, no, no. Stop promoting these accounts. Yeah, they're not real. What's wrong with you people?

I guess we're happy about it because it's like, wow, they want to be us. Exactly. Amy's running our own. Let's what I'm going to create his today. The Bobby Bowl show. Big Three Stories. It's producer Raimundo.

Oh, my gosh. Talk it out here. Dodgers and Brewers. Talk out your options. I mean, I don't know where the Brewers play, so I guess I'm just going to have to take a guess and say L.A. Because that's where the Dodgers are from. So you're going to Los Angeles. Yes. It's incorrect. Where are the...

Lunchbox? Milwaukee. There you go. All right. Okay, question number two. Amy. A belt, sheet, and orbital are common types of what power tool? A belt, a sheet, and orbital are common types of what power tool?

I know. Tough to me. Bring in the pain. A belt, a sheet, an orbital. A belt, a sheet. A chainsaw. A chainsaw. That is incorrect.

Oh, my goodness. Amy, I haven't seen anyone choke as hard as me dancing. Well, it's not over yet, guys. I still have to get a woman's question. Let's calm down. All right. Don't use the jinx. All you have to just get one.

Stop. Just one. Hey, draper James. Draper James. It's a clothing line by who? Draper James. Draper James. Kristen Cavalari.

Do you get it? Whoa. Do you get it? No. Yes. Amy, you can climb back in this if you know. Draper James. Go ahead.

Lunchbox is so close with that one. It's Reese Witherspoon, and he was thinking of Kristen Cavalry's uncommon, James. But your answer is... Reese Wethon. Right. Wow. Okay. That's okay.

I didn't know that one. Here we go. Lunchbox. Yeah. Cajmere. You familiar with it? Yeah. How much?

I've heard the name. Okay. What animal is the source of cashmere? Cashmere. Oh, it's a lamb. Amy, this is a tough one. I don't know if you know this one or not. I don't even know if I've ever seen that.

What's that? Kashmir. You mean that? No, the whatever. The material? Yeah, that thing. Period. Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen that.

Amy, to stay in the game. What animal is the source of cashmere? I know that you don't, you didn't believe in me, but I'm pretty, like, 99% sure it's goats. She says a goat. Is it? Yes. Oh. Yes.

It's a three, two. This is the last one. Lunchbox, if you get this, you win. Yeah, I got it. All right, here we go. What famous designer was first known for the, quote, Little Black Dress? What? What?

I don't even know if Amy will know this. Tough one. What famous designer was known for the Little Black dress? Oh, that's easy. Vera Wang. Vera Wang. Yeah. Oh, no.

Incorrect. Amy has a chance. They both missed all three of theirs. first time it's ever happened in the history of the game Amy before you give the answer how do you feel about it? I mean I'm going to be making a guess for sure Oh you don't know it

I don't All right we'll say it I mean I don't on No no I don't know what she's doing right now Like come on Amy What is your guest to tie the game and send it to overtime Come on

You don't know how far back this goes What famous designer was first known For the little black dress Donna Karen. I don't know. No one who knows who that is. That's made up. No, it's a real person.

It's a real person, but I just don't, I mean, it's probably, I just feel like Versace or something's too fancy. So your answer is. Donna Karen. Oh, boy. Room, how do we feel about that? I think it sounds good. Amy doesn't feel. Morgan number two, you're 25.

How do you feel about that? I don't think it's right. What would you have said? My guess I think is Coco. don't know the last name. Yeah. Chanel? Oh, is it Chanel?

Oh, it probably is. It's probably Coco Chanel. The answer is. How, Morgan. Hey, we don't yell at Morgan. No, but she's right, but how did she know? We don't know who's right. Yeah, I really feel like that's right.

The answer is Coco Chanel. Oh, here you go. Ten to nine. Speech. Make a movie about this mode. Guys, this is like the miracle on ice. Yeah. This is the miracle of the mind.

I was down 9 to 7. That's not even that much. To win three in a row, Amy already had her championship parade playing down Broadway in Nashville. And guess what? Plans canceled. Woo! Come on. We're going to Vegas, baby.

After a couple of months. One in Vegas. You pay for it? No, I know. Or no, we go to Disney World. Yeah, Disney World. Woo! Yeah.

And I'm the MVP, so I'm supposed to get a new car. I think you're confusing us with the Super Bowl. All right, lunchbox is the first one. I can't believe we're retiring the game now. No, no, no, we're not retiring. Oh. But we're only going to play it once a week now instead of every day. Oh, okay, that's cool.

Yeah. Yeah, that means I have longer to gloat. Amy, what do you have to say? Congratulations, Lunchbox. Thank you. I can't hear you. I'm drinking out of the championship. Where's my belt?

Where's my belt? How are you drinking out of a belt? You don't drink it about that. I'm drinking out of my championship shoes. That's a champagne. All right. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

There's a couple in Iowa. They own a big old farm. They're getting kind of old, and they can't maintain the land like they used to be able to. It's like, what do we want to do with this land? We want to do something good. So they donated 63 acres of their farm to the future farmers of America. That way kids can learn how to do crops and everything on their field, and it doesn't just go to waste. That's cool. Amy, were you in FPA?

No, I was just an agriculture major in college, but never did FFA. I feel like it's right up your alley. Amy was like a farm girl, kind of, and she went to college to do it, and then she quit. I started making purses. Yeah, I did. I did think that I was going to make purses, so nothing really mattered. I was giving me the next Kate Spade. My sorority voted me that. Oh, man. Interesting.

Your sorority voted you the next Kate Spade. I guess they, I founded that award like a couple months ago. I guess they passed out awards for something and I found this like, you know,

certificate that said, me and my friend that had the business that we were going to be the next Kate Spade. I was about to make Capa Gapagamas proud. Farm girl.

Sorority Girl. Kate Spade. Next Kate Spade. She's a woman of many talents. That didn't really pan out. I do know how to sew, though. Well, lunchbox is a really great story.

Good for them for donating that. Yeah, they're going to grow mushrooms, vegetables, and organic hay. And why wouldn't they? That's what I say. And that's tell me something good. Can you grow unorganic hay? I was thinking about that. I don't know.

I used to haul hay. It's a worst job. I had a bunch of bad jobs. Was it organic? It was all organic all the time. Bobby Bones show. Bonehead. Hurry up the day.

This story comes us from Laredo, Texas. Last month, there was a big theft of a thousand bottles of Patron Petron Tequila, $25,000 worth. Police had no leads until this month when some guy on Facebook, hey, big tequila cell.

All must go. Come get your bottles. Where was he selling it from? His house. Oh, not a tequila store that would have... Nope, and so they set up surveillance outside of his house and saw cars coming and buying Petron

when inside, boom! He bought one of those blowy men for the car dealership path. I thought the one that goes back and forth. That's funny. That's funny, lunchbox. That's your bonehead's of the day.

The Friday morning conversation with Morgan Evans. Walking down the hallway right now is Morgan Evans. You may know this song. Sometimes you got to kiss somebody in the back of the cab or on a subway train. Sometimes you got to kiss somebody on a midnight street in the summer rain. A member of the class of 2018, I pick five artists and none of them had had a song in the top 50s. He's one of these guys and here he is.

There he is. Come on. here. There he is. What up, my friend. Look at this guy. Looking happy and tall and in shape. How are you possibly in Nashville right now? What are you talking about?

I'm back and forth, man. I'm on an airplane. Morgan and I talk all the time. We're on the phone texting each other all the time. Morgan will text me and go, you're doing good. And I'd be like, no, but you're doing good. But today, a big day for you, man. It is.

It is. It is. It is a big day. It's like I feel like so many things have to go right to get to this day. So I'm really excited. And also a little bit nervous. because, you know, you're just putting it all out there. Yeah, like it's a lot of your last years, creativity, work.

And then it's, here it is, do you like it? Because that's really what you're doing. You're just submitting it to the people and seeing if they like it or not. Yeah. I mean, I assume you're talking about the album. Yeah. These songs, they're definitely like... What else is what I'd be talking about?

Your heart? Well, I thought you were asking if I liked what I was doing right now. No, no, no, I meant the album that's out today, by the way. Which, by the way, it's called Things that We Drink to. Yeah. Yes. Okay. Yeah.

No, I love it, man. These 11 songs, I feel like are the best, it's the best album I could possibly make it at this time of my life. And I feel like when you're putting together the track listing, you first, like, you pick the best songs and you get like the three or four best songs. And then you're like, well, what's the rest of the story? Like, what else do I need to tell people? And so that's what it is. Put those headphones on for one second. I want you to tell me a few things.

This is the actual song, Things that we drink, too. Let me ask you a question. I think everybody wants to know. How do you sing without an accent? Like, I don't hear any accent when you sing. It's like, things that we drink. Then you talk and like, hey, Mike, is you here doing songs? Like, where does it go when you sing?

I don't know. I feel like that's just what singing sounds like. I grew up singing American music, you know? And even when I sang along to Keith Urban songs, it was still sound like American music. And I feel like it's just a thing. It's a thing that everyone does. Like, even the Beatles sing in American accent. So I'm not sure.

Maybe that's just the singing accent. The spice girls? I would listen to spice girls all the time, but sometimes I dabble. We all dabble. Here's this one called Dance With Me from Morgan Evans. That's one of my favorites, by the way. Thank you.

Yeah. That's my favorite one. Is it? We're the same. Me and you. You dance better. Hey, tell me about this song. Tell me about it.

Yeah. Like, when I play it, what are you feeling? It feels like the most honest and kind of pure moment on there for me. I feel like, as you know, like in Nashville, there's so much collaboration that goes on and so much, like, organized creativity. I feel like everyone's so busy, they often miss those moments of, like, true inspiration.

And writing that song really was that moment. It was like a Tuesday morning. I was waiting for Kelsey to come on one of the morning TV shows to perform, and it was the ad break, and I pressed mute, and just started singing. and that whole first verse chorus just came out. And there's something about a song like that that it almost feels like you didn't write it.

It was just this moment that you got to be a part of. And that's what I feel every time I hear it. That's Kelsey's singing with you, right? It is, yeah. Yeah, that's my favorite one. Thanks, Mark. Morgan Evans is here. Got a new album out today called Things That We Drink to.

I should be featured. Come on. Why are you laughing? I nailed that. That's a perfect harmony. I love how you just hit everything in life with passion. I love it. Thank you.

Well, how are you feeling? You feel good? You feel like you're going to play a song, can you? I'd love to, yeah. I got the guitar here. Are you loose? Yeah, I guess so. Are you warm?

Yeah, it's release week. I'm feeling real loose. Well, cool. Can I play anything? No, we'll talk into it. Let's talk into it. Okay. What are you going to play for us here?

Set us up or something. You play whatever you want. I don't play. This is the new single. This is, um, probably my favorite song to play live on the record. How many favorites do you have? You've got like nine favorites so far, Morgan. Well, this is my favorite one to play live. This is my favorite one to play after 3 p.m. This is my favorite one to play on a Wednesday. There's absolutely those songs. Absolutely.

What are you going to play here? This is a song called Day Drunk. I know this one. All right. Morgan Evans is here. He's got a record out today called Things That We Drink to. This is a song that you may hear on the radio right now and it's called Day Drunk. All right, Morgan. Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this IHeart Radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can't. can go to bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up, and we wanted to keep up as much as possible.

So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to the show, and sorry about all the legal stuff. Come on, I got a record out today. Go check it out. It's called Things That We Drink Too, and that song right there. You may hear on the radio, which, by the way, I think that's number one in Australia for like seven years. Is that what I heard? The number one country song in Australia for seven years? Something like that.

Seven years. Like really, I think it's 11 weeks or something, like for real, right? It's pretty, it's, it's by far the biggest song I've ever had down there. The biggest song ever in Australian history? That I've ever had, yeah. The Friday morning conversation with Morgan Evans. You didn't think I was going to be here when you came in today? Dude, your Instagram makes me tired just looking at it.

I have no idea how you're doing it. By the way, we're back on the air. Okay, cool. Okay, yeah. No, I wasn't going to miss your album day, dude. Well, thank you. Thanks for having me in. I appreciate that. It's not even that. You're like one of my dudes.

And Kelsey came by and watching me dance. I know. She loved it too. She texted me. By the way, Morgan Evans is here and he's married to Kelsey Valerini, but she texted me the day before. She's like, hey, I have in L.A. I don't have any friends here. And I was like, well, I'm in L.A. and I don't have any friends here either, really. And she said, hey, when can you get together? And I said, well, I'm dancing all day tomorrow.

So just come to the show. I didn't think she, boy, she's busy. You know, we're all busy. You're busy. You got a record out today. Yeah, that's a cool thing to go along to. And so she came and she came early and we hung out before the show and then she sat in the front row. And I went and talked to her during the show. Like everyone else is like all. And I get nervous because I don't dance.

Like right before I get nervous. But otherwise I wouldn't talk to her like during the show. She's like, I'm so nervous for you. And I'm like, how are you nervous for me? It was fun. It was fun. Does that make you nervous when people tell you you should be nervous? I get.

Because you've done a few. You've done a few now. It's not like your first. Oh, but it's again. Whenever I'm sitting on that stage and I'm about to dance, my insides are just. just doing jumping jacks because i'm not a dancer and then you've been real nice you'll send me a message to be like dude that was great and i'm like i don't know i got heart i don't have a lot of dance that's what i love about i mean i love i just love watching how stuck do you are about and how

happy it makes it it's awesome that's it's oh i got a lot of heart that's all i got uh let's see here you got a record up to let me play another one of these songs from your record here how about we dream you like this one or no i do yeah good good good good i like all of them obviously yeah I like this one, some of my favorite ones, too. My second favorite, probably, this one. Really? Yeah, it feels inspirational. It feels like I want to go and march and go into battle.

Dance battle. Yeah. Yeah, like, you know, we dream. I like that. It's inspirational. Thank you, man, thanks. That was, like, the last part of the story. I feel like we had this whole, like, kind of story of the last couple years in my life,

and we had 10 songs of the 11, and that was the last one we wrote, because we were kind of like, well, I was kind of like, well, there's something missing, and that's like what made all this other stuff happen? Like what made me move over here? What made me like find the girl and want to get married? Like what made all this stuff happened? And as, I don't know, simple and cheesy as it might sound,

it's like that dream. So that dream of like wanting to be here and be part of this country music community. And that's the feeling that we tried to create in that song. Morgan Evans is here. Got a record out today. Album, excuse me, it's an album out today. Record album, same thing.

Things that we drink to. You moved here what year to the States? It was officially three and a half years ago. But before that, I came back and forth a lot. So it kind of felt like a progression. Yeah, are you a citizen yet? You're married to Kelsey. So are you like a real deal now?

I'm not a citizen. You're not. All that stuff takes a lot of time. Even if you're married to Kelsey Ballerini? I mean, that allows you to apply for the next part of it, which is all, that's all happening. Can you call somebody? Can you call? Can you call?

I know them all. I know everybody. I'll let you know what I need a hand. Thank you. So you moved here three and a half years ago. When did you meet your wife? Two and a half years ago And so then you got married

How long ago? Ten and a bit months ago And then you put your record out today Yeah Look at that It's been pretty wild That's a pretty full Close to four years

Yeah It's been incredible And you know I've been playing music so long And sort of traveling back and forth Like the first time I came to Nashville Was 10 years ago And so I feel like I'm in a really

Good position to I really appreciate all the great moments That are happening all at once right now When you move to Nashville, what's the first thing that you do? When you come to Nashville, let's say you're Morgan from Australia and you're flying here for the first time. You go to a hotel or a friend, or what do you do? Yeah, I was staying in a hotel, and the first thing I did was throwing my bags in the hotel room and walk down to Broadway. So you walk down to the street with your guitar or just to walk around?

No, no, no, just to take it in and see what it was. And, you know, I had that experience for the first time and was like, whoa, this place is awesome. Did it intimidate you at all or excite you? That street didn't, but the more I learned about the writing community and the level that everything happens here, it was definitely, I say that all the time, this town can be the most inspiring and the most intimidating place all at once, and you almost get to decide which one it is. Morgan Evans is here. You know what I wonder, when you go play a show like The Bachelorette, because isn't you on The Bachelorette? How many times do you play your song over and over again? That's funny. I get asked that a lot, actually.

Well, we're a great question by me. You always love to ask a question where someone goes. You know, every day someone asks me that. No, no, people expect it to be really set up, and it is a set up situation. Like, we're obviously in there with sound checked, and there's a couple thousand people in there waiting. But we only shot that song once when they came in.

Like, that whole moment you're seeing the TV, only have them once. None of that actual, their experience was not constructed. So, that was cool. You didn't mess up? You just nailed it, and it was good? That's a take. It's a rap.

I guess. I mean, we played Kiss somebody. I played that song like a thousand times at that point. All right. we play another song? How about can I request the song? Yeah. How about things that we drink to, which is what the album is named after?

Yeah, absolutely. I can play this song. This is like as I said, like the last couple of years have been pretty amazing, but last year I lost my manager of 10 years last year in a motorcycle accident. And he was the guy that discovered me in Australia, he's the guy that brought me to

America, and he's the guy that told me to come back to America when I told him was too hard. And we all obviously lost him really suddenly. And on the day of his memorial here in Nashville, I was in the studio with Chris DeStefano, my producer and Josh Osborne as well, who I wrote Kiss Somebody with. And it was definitely one of those days we could have just been like, you know, let's just come back tomorrow, guys. But I was talking to Chris and Chris knew Rob as well. And Josh was talking about his father, who he'd lost before that pretty recently. And

Chris started playing a beat and I started singing this melody and the last. And the last thing. And the line, things that we drink to came out. And we wrote this song that day as like a celebration of life and all the cool things you got to do, I guess, because you were in each other's lives. All right, here he is. Morgan Evans. This is Things That we drink to. Come on. Morgan Evans.

It's awesome, man. Thank you. Really? Thank you. You know, I'm such a big fan of you and your work. And it's weird to interview a friend because I don't know what we've talked about in personal life. And then I don't know what we talked about on radio life. And so I'm just trying to walk that fine line of,

what have people already heard us talk about? Yeah. But what they haven't heard us talk about is your records out today. That's very exciting. Yeah. I will people give it a listen, one way or the other.

Me too. And let them make their mind up because I do feel like their mind will be made like mine is. I like you. Well, thank you. It's good, man. You're good.

I mean, I've seen you play with your contraption set, play with that. What is that thing called what you play with? The loop pedal. The loop pedal. He like yells at a box and it does things. It's pretty cool.

You're out with Chris Young and you're just making hits and look at you. I'm trying, man. I'm having a good tongue with it. Hey, everybody taking a second and just look at him. Look at you. Come on. Look at everybody looking at him. Yeah.

All right, Morgan Evans, the album's Things that We Drink too. I'm proud of you, man. Thank you. All seriousness as sincere as possible. I'm really proud of you. Thank you very much. Come a long way, my friend. Bradley Cooper is going to be on the show coming up in a few minutes.

It's amazing. Which is cool, right? Yeah. What's your favorite Bradley Cooper movie ever? The Hangover? Hangover, probably. Wets to be. Wedding Crashers.

That's a good one. You know what? He was in the movie. I loved it. The cartoon, he was the cartoon voice. The superhero movie. Guardians of the Galaxy. Oh, that's fantastic.

But yeah, he's in a star is born with Lady Gaga, and he's going to be on the show. We'll talk to him coming up in just a few minutes. So that's happening. Over to Morgan number two right now. Bobby Boneshack. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. It's the 30-second skinny.

A Lost album from Glenn Campbell is coming on November 16th. It's called Sing's for the King. It features songs Glenn recorded for Elvis Presley between 1964 and 1968. Huh. Easy come. Look at that. Rest and peace to them both. Two really great artists.

The Glenn Campbell story is amazing. That guy was just one of the best musicians. Played in the Wrecking Crew, which was basically the studio guys. It did the Beach Boys. many people. And then he became Glenn Campbell after that. It's crazy. Good for him. And his family. Yeah, good for him. Yeah. And that's cool. It sounds like Elvis, something Elvis would have recorded. What else, Morgan number two? We've got new albums coming out today. Morgan Evans' things we drink to. Yeah. He's a good dude. And this song is called Day Drunk.

Let's get a little... Morgan Evans. My class of 2018. He was one of the fives. Had a number one. He's killing it now. What else? And then Jimmy Allen's album. It's called Mercury Lane. Mercury Lane. This is called Best Shot. By the way, another one of my five, class of 2018. I'm best early, man. It's good, too. I think he's going to be on the show Monday.

What else Morgan number two? We've got movies out this weekend. First, man, the movie about Neil Armstrong, 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. That looks pretty good. Yeah, it looks pretty good. I wish my name was able to do something wrong, but yeah, it looked pretty good. Another movie out this weekend is Bad Times at the El Roy. way out has 77% on Rotten Tomatoes.

There you have it. I'm Morgan number two. That's the skinny. She is. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. I love when I see kids doing good and this girl named Sammy Vance.

She's nine years old and she has started a campaign to make buddy benches at her school, which buddy benches are a safe place for kids to go sit when they're lonely or they want to make a friend, like talk with someone or they feel like they're being picked on. they can go to the buddy bench and other people will be like, hey, I'm going to go hang out with you, make sure you're okay. Well, guess how she's building these buddy benches? How? She is collecting, like, bottle caps,

and she sends them off to this company that legit makes benches out of the bottle caps. Oh, wow, that's cool. How old is she? Yeah. Nine, she's nine. Yeah. That's crazy. A nine-year-old would do that.

Like, when I was nine, I was just trying to pee my pants. She's like doing something for other kids. Yeah, that's good. Is that what it's all about? know. It's all about her recognizing her school needs buddy benches and it's all about that company that makes recycled binges out of bottle caps. So yes, that's what's all about. That's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey, it's Bobby Bones here. With another Best Fiends announcement, you need this game in your life, folks.

What kind of a car does a sheep drive? What kind of a car does a sheep drive? Jeep drive. They're Subaru. Okay. Oh, we thought about a lot. That was the morning corny. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Bradley. Hey, Bradley. What's up, buddy? How are you? Hey, great. How's it going? Good. I appreciate you coming on.

Man, this movie's taking over the world, huh? I mean, it's exciting. Did you expect it to be such a darling not only of critics but people? Because it's often hard to get them both. I mean, far from it. I was actually fearful that, you know, when you put something out that you've spent so long and it's so personal, you just hope people aren't going to laugh at you, quite honestly. It's kind of a vulnerable thing.

I didn't realize it would be so difficult to let it go because it doesn't belong to you anymore. And the fact that people seem to be receiving it is relief is the word I'd use. Bradley Cooper's on with us. I want to play a little bit of this song called Maybe It's Time that Bradley sings. Jason Isbell wrote the song. Maybe it's time to let the always die. Can you hear that, Bradley, if I play it through?

Yeah. Okay, cool. Maybe it's time to let the always die. Maybe it's time to let the always die. It takes a lot to change, man. Hell, it takes a lot to try. Maybe it's time to let the always die. Maybe it's time to let the always die.

always die. I mean, talk about that song for a second, Bradley. Yeah, I mean, that's all due to Dave Cobb, a great producer who I had met with, and he, and I was just talking to him about Jackson, Maine, and the character, and where I was sort of thinking about him musically, and he said, you know, let me reach out to some of the artists I work with, and he asked me to write a little synopsis that I could give to them and see what they could come up with, and then a couple days later, I get this, via text, a demo that Jason Isbell had written this song, maybe it's time, and it just floored me. And then I went into the studio with Benjamin Rice, this incredible engineer who actually has a producer credit on some of the

songs. And that was, I remember I just laid down that sort of version of it that I thought that Jackson, you know, through Jackson's voice. And I still remember sending it to Jason like quivering, thinking, oh my God. And then he sent me a text back. I think it was like, good job, like it. And I thought, okay, great. And so that became one of the, one of the, one of the songs, and really, really was kind of an anchor. A lot of the songs out of, that came out of Jackson really were harnessed by that song. I just, I loved everything about it, the lyrics, the melody, everything. It was really, I mean, he's one of the greatest, you know, songwriters around. And the fact that he, you know, added something for us was, is incredible.

Bradley Cooper's on with us, talking about a star is born. And so, I'm a big Pearl Jam fan. And so whenever I read that you went up to Seattle and spent some days, with Eddie Vedder to prepare for the role. Like, what did you go up there searching for from him? You know, having done this in terms of like acting and researching, like, for example, playing Chris Kyle, real people, when you want to talk to people that knew the person or had something to do with it, it's not even so much what they say is what they don't say, how they behave, just watching them, observing them.

And he's such an incredible human being. So I just knew that no matter what, even if we didn't say a word to each other, that I was going to get a lot out of it. Just seeing, you know, and then that was just what he opened up to me. I mean, I spent three days with him and went to the studio and his house and, you know, and he just shared with me. I mean, he was just like a fountain of information that was so far beyond what I could have expected. Did you get to geek out a little bit and be like, hey man, tell me about Better Man. Did you ask like pearl jam stuff or did you just keep it like total like inspirational type stuff? You know, it was basically just like normal conversation and then just sort of like a day in

life of a musician and going into the studio. It was more about the specificity of just, you know, what one does rather than sort of reminiscing on days of past. Bradley Cooper's on with us. So tell me about your singing. Did you have to get to be a better singer? Were you already good? Did you take lessons? No, nothing. I mean, I had sang. Oh, the other thing I will say that Eddie did was he put me in touch with this guy, Eric Johnson, who wound up working with us the whole movie, who was invaluable. He's now Metallica's tour manager. And he just, and he said, this is the guy you need to be with you who's going to show you everything. And he really did. This guy, Eric Johnson, just incredible. No, I had sang in gospel choir at college, but really

I was kind of in the back and didn't really, wasn't too loud. But I always love music since I was a kid. My father, you know, introduced me to Tom Waits and Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin and Mary Alonza, you know, on A-track tapes back when I was a kid. And so there was always, music was such a huge part of my life. And I definitely would sing all the time, but, you know, in the shower and for friends and stuff. I remember in that first Nirvana album hit, I was in college and, like, we would sing it in the dorm room. But nothing ever, nothing to, I never took sort of classes or thought I would ever have a career or anything. But I did feel like maybe deep down I could play a musician. And then it was just about, you know, I spent four years in this movie and two of those years prepping.

And I worked with great people like Roger Love, this vocal coach in L.A. Because the thing that I learned right away, that Lucas Nelson told me, because it's his band that's in the movie, The Promise of the Real, he's like, you know, when we go out here on these stages and you're going to sing to live audience, you better, you know, have sung these songs thousands of times

because the first thing you're going to lose is your breath. And he's right. And so, you know, I was just lucky that I was, I surrounded myself with the right people so I could do the right kind of work. And then even playing guitar, again, you say you only sang recreationally. Did you play guitar at all?

And you're playing guitar in the movie? Yeah, no, I had not played the guitar ever, watched a lot of people play guitar, and I work with this great guy, Johnny Hansen, who taught me the guitar on Lucas Nelson, and just getting to a point where I was proficient enough, but what you're hearing is, I dubbed over Lucas's sound is what you're hearing, but that's me playing it, because there's no way it would sound like that. And he and I worked so hard in terms of finding Jackson's sound. I kept having something in my mind, and I would sing him the guitar riff, and then he would play it. It was kind of a very unorthodox way of making music but um but i think he he dug it on the bobby bone show now bradley cooper talking about a star is born so tell me about lady gaga and i'm assuming you were attached to the movie first and then you met with her like well what's that like yeah i i wanted to make this movie and i started writing it and uh i'd probably been on the project for a year and a half and then um but i hadn't really found the person and i was at this benefit and and all of a sudden she was the last guest,

and she sang a cover of Levean Rose, and it just blew me away. And I really just couldn't get, I couldn't believe what I had just witnessed, because I'd never heard her sing live before. And so I asked if I could meet her a couple days later, and then I just said, hey, you know, I went up and met with her and said,

you know, talked her about this project and the potential of what the story could be in her character. And I don't know, maybe because she made me feel so comfortable, I thought, like, we should probably sing together just to see if this isn't like an abominable, combination and I can't even hold a tune. And I said, you know this old folk song, Midnight Special, which she didn't know. And I said, let's just, I saw a piano in your living room. What if we just sing it? Because if this doesn't work, then there's no reason for me to waste

any more of your time. And she said, sure. And then we did. And it kind of worked, oddly enough. I don't know how that happened. And then that was it. And I left at her house that day, and we sort of shook hands and made a barter that we were going to do this thing together. So Midnight Special, like CCR, like shine a midlight, shine a lot on me. Yeah, well, it's an old folk song, but then CCR covered it. Yeah, I remember the first time I heard it was in the movie The Twilight Zone, and I think it's Jim Volusci and Dan Aykroyd are in the car, and they start singing Midnight Special, and that was the first time I had ever heard it as a kid.

I don't know if you remember that movie, and then Dan Aykroyd says you want to see something really scary, and then he, yeah, anyway. I know the CCR. Listen, I'm a die-hard credence fan, so, you know, I guess that's where I know it. Probably I guess I'm not that cool, Bradley. I'm not as cool as you. What, that you could cite a Twilight Zone movie? I don't know if that's a, I don't know if that's a barometer of coolness.

Hey, I was, the movie didn't take long to shoot, although you say you spent a bunch of years getting into it and prepping it. How, this, it seems like it was, it was a 42-day shoot. That's insane, right? Yeah, it was insane, yeah, and for a very strict budget. Yeah, it was, but, you know, out of necessity comes ideas. And I think that's probably why, because we had the real deal in her, the rest of the movie had to be as authentic.

So, we didn't have the budget to create these scenes. So we thought, what if we can just. sort of hustle our way onto these stages and just try to steal some shots. And that's what we did. And I think it winds up being the reason why the movie has such an authentic vein through it. Because we actually did shoot on the live stage at stagecoach after Jamie Johnson before Willie Nelson. And then we went to Glastonbury. And luckily enough, Nick and Emily, who owned the festival, allowed us to do that, which I don't think they've ever done.

And we had four minutes on the pyramid stage, which anybody knows anything about music festivals. That is like the place. and so Chris Christopherson happened to be playing last summer, gave us four minutes, and we did that song, maybe it's time in front of like 80,000 people. It was crazy. Well, the Chris Christopherson thing,

that's not lost on me, that that's Chris Christopherson. I mean, it's the guy that was originally, you know, yeah, it was nuts. I mean, he was visiting our set, and they had, Glastonbury had said, look, we'll let you do it if someone allows you to play into their set, which is going to be unlikely.

And he happened to be playing there last summer, And I asked his wife, and she said, absolutely, whatever you guys need. And the best part about that was after I sang the song twice, I said, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Chris Christofferson, and then he walks on stage. It was crazy. Yeah, that's pretty baller. That's pretty baller to do that. Here's some of the song, Shallow from A Star is Born. How many times have you seen this movie back, Bradley?

Oh, gosh. I mean, you know, when you edit a movie, you see it thousands of times. That, could you go in? Could you talk along with the entire movie right now if you needed to, every part? talk in what sense like what happened and stuff? No, as it's happening, could you quote everything that's being said? Like when I watch you know, office space, I know every line that's going to be said.

Could you? Yeah, probably, yeah. Bradley Cooper is on with us. A star is born. I think our audience will love it and, you know. I love office space. Yeah, we're going to need you to do. Yeah. Give my listeners that don't know really what it's about yet. If they don't, if they've been living in a cave, can I give a one-line synopsis of the movie? It's about a guy.

who's like in a job that's endless in an office and uh no not office space you're oh yeah yeah yeah yeah I was like I think Bradley took misinterpreted my question okay go ahead go ahead go ahead um it's a it's a story about it's a good question you know because it's about a lot of things but I'd say it's you know it's it's a hopefully what people get out of it it's a love story about two people who really love each other there's no infidelity what happens when you actually have that kind of connection and commitment to each other and even how hard life is given what it is to just be alive, given, you know, trauma as a child, what it means to have your family and what it,

what it means to try to find your voice in this world. And it revolves around two people who are musicians. There it is. A star is born. Hey, how much your dog make? We were talking about that on the show. Does your dog get, you get paid, but what did he do a day? He made more than me. Interesting. But not in the long run. Hopefully not. Hopefully not. Hey man, you're a real treat to talk to, man. I'll be honest with you. You come off as cool, like, as a cool dude.

When I see you sitting in the box on Monday Night Football or, you know, doing interviews. And I really appreciate the time you spend with us this morning. Oh, no, it's a thrill for me. Bradley Cooper. Check out A Star is Born. It's Bradley and Lady Gaga. And a lot of my friends wrote songs for this movie, which is crazy. So, yeah, it's a real joy to see it all come together like this.

Bradley, I appreciate your time, man. Oh, thank you. And there is. Bradley Cooper, everybody. Thanks, Bradley. Thank you. I think I'm going to go watch Dirk's tomorrow night, Amy, in California. Oh, really?

That's awesome. Yeah, I got to fly back out and start training with my dance partner, but Dirk's playing in L.A. and, I mean, he lives like, I don't know, 10 minutes from me in town, but I only get to go see him whenever we're in the state. Yeah, that's funny. That'll be cool. Yeah, I know. And I texted him yesterday. I said, hey, man, I'm coming to your show in Los Angeles.

Will you just play some good songs this time? What do you say? He was like, I'll try him. I'll come of that. Oh, so you'll get to see maybe Brothers Osborne, too. Oh, that whole tour are my friends. Lank, and I don't use that term lightly, but Lanko, my dudes, like Brandon Lleet Singer and I are close.

Brothers Osborne, obviously, we love Amy's neighbors with the singer, and I know both of them. And then Dirk's is, you know, if not, the closest, one of my closest, like, artist friends. So, yeah, it'd be fun. It'd be good. I'd probably just go and chill. I go to church with Lanko.

Do you know that? I didn't know that. I see them all the time. All of them. them? Two or three of them. Yeah, there's a lot of them. They're like gremlins. They are. Like more of them just keep showing up.

So, yeah, it'll be fun. Listen, I do love me some country music. You know what they call me, right? Yeah, country music's youngest historian. That's right. The Bobby Bonds show on this day in country music. 27 years ago, 1991, Garth Brooks releases Rodeo. Eddie, you like myself?

A Garth Brooks historian? Huge. What album? Did rodeo come off of? Come on, that's Rope in the Wind. That's right. Trot number two. Wow.

If I remember correctly. It was released as the first single from Rope in the Wind. It only peaked at number three on the U.S. country chart. No way. That's wrong with people. Yeah.

We should go back and change that. It was originally recorded in 1981 as a demo and for 10 years it just sat there. Originally titled Miss Rodeo, it was a female song where the artist sang about how she could not compete with a sport of rodeo. Guard said he tried to get every female he knew to cut the song.

All of them. And he even asked Tricia Yearwood, who didn't think it fit her. Yirwood then convinced Garth that he was better fit to sing it. He agreed to, put it on his album. Wham! Well, it's blows and blood. So cool. Come on.

It was track two. Oh, yeah. Yes. Come on. Yeah, that's my historian junior over there, Eddie. Yeah, man, I'm right here for you. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. So this woman named Linda Hughes decided to become a living kidney donor. and she didn't help just one person. The New Jersey woman decided to start an organ donor chain, which is crazy, by the way, right? If one person donates a kidney, that to me is mind-blowing. Like, wow, you're giving a piece of your body to someone else. But then what happens is someone else gets it and then donates,

and someone else gets it in and donates. And so it's when someone needs a transplant and they have a family member of her friend who's willing to donate, and they're not a good match. So it's like a trade. They say, I'll donate my kidney to someone else in order for my loved one to get a kidney. Wow.

She wasn't worried about the health risks since people can live just fine with one kidney. And so she did and it started a whole chain. Donating kidneys. Lunchbox, would you do it? No. You just wouldn't at all for anyone. No. Your mom.

No. She's too old. Okay. Interesting. She would want me to keep my kidney because she would. She's not a hundred. I know, but she's 65 and that's towards the end. Is it though?

No. It's not. And she would rather me be healthy for the next... Towards the end? Because then what if my one kidney shuts down? Then I'm done. Well, then you can also get a kidney from somewhere. Yeah, the odds are.

Then you got to... She would just rather me not get it. What about you? Would you donate a kidney? I would donate a kidney to anyone in the show. Bobby's like both of them. If you guys needed it, I would go and see if I was a match and give you one. Didn't Selena Gomez get a kidney from her? Yeah, her best friend.

Her best friend. Wow. Yeah, and so did, what's his name, George Lopez, got one from his wife. And then divorced him. See, that's what I'm saying. What are you saying? Stop. Well, anyway, that's not a good way to end.

Tell me something good. Oh, my goodness. But good for her. Anybody that's donating organs, that's always crazy to me. And that's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Bobby Bone Show. The nominees for the next Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class have been announced.

Nope The answer is Reggie gets the machine Yeah! Look at this guy He knows his music Wow Oh my goodness

Nope, don't know Devo, right. I mean, gosh, all that. Nice way. Hey, by the way, let me just say this. I'm proud of you lunchbox. Thank you. All right.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. A school counselor in Ohio gave at least one handwritten, personalized note of encouragement to every single kid at his school. There's 600 kids, by the way. He did it last year and he plans on doing it again this year. And his parents used to leave him notes in his lunchbox when he was a kid, so that's where he got the idea. That's cool. That's a lot of work.

Yes, that's awesome. What else? It definitely takes in the whole school year to do it, but he gets it done. So if you want to make your kiss count, because Bobby, I know we keep talking about how you're kind of dating somebody, but we're not giving out a lot of the details. I have no idea if y'all are actually even kissing. You and I haven't discussed that. But if you want to make your kisses count, then you should at least make the kiss last six seconds or more because studies show that that's how long it takes to establish an emotional

connection. Wow. Let me count this out. Ready? I'm going to start kissing. You start counting. Okay. I'll just stand here.

Go. One. This is how I kissed her. This is awkward. Okay. Okay. Do you feel more of an emotional connection? I wasn't kissing Eddie.

I was kissing my hand. I can say this. I haven't. Whatever. Did it feel good? Okay. Let's just say, if you do end up. Kissing her or him.

I know we're not saying who it is. For six seconds, don't do that. Okay. Don't do. What else, Amy? Okay. So this is something to think about if you're considering becoming a vegetarian. According to a growing body of research,

vegan or vegetarian diets might be speeding up the process of your hair loss. What? Yeah. Scientists found that people who ditch meat. Steak, please. Can I get a double steak? Yeah. Give a chicken burger.

Scientists found that people who ditch meat might lack certain vital nutrients for healthy hair. Meets like beef, pork, and poultry provide those high level of nutrients required for hair growth. But I would say I'm like, you know, 80% vegan. And I do have less hair than I used to. Well, quiet Mike, Mike D. He actually is vegan hardcore and you have a lot of hair. And it spikes up with no product. He wakes up right up.

Too much hair. Punk rock Mike, aka. Vegan Mike. I just stumbled upon that. It was in Reader's Digest, so I thought I'd share just in case. Because you're just reading Reader's Digest every day, right, me, Ma'emaw? Yeah, I'm Amy. That's my file.

Okay, so we did the pile a little early because Bradley Cooper, we're going to talk to him coming up and just at the top of the hour. That was Amy's pile of stories. The Bobby Bone Show. Amy, hope you have a good weekend. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm going to get to see my kids for the first time all week, so I'm pumped. Yeah. I'm going to go.
