Welcome to Friday's show. Morning studio. Morning. In my hand, chocolate-covered cicadas. We got them. We got them yesterday, actually. But later in the show, someone will eat a chocolate-covered cicada. I just wonder about the crunch.

because you're going to eat it. There will be. It's a bug. Absolutely. It has to be a front. Yeah. And you have to eat the whole thing. You can't take a bite.

Morgan's pulled herself out of the competition here because she doesn't eat meat. And we've determined this is meat, right? Yes. She has. And the females, no, the females are meatier is what I read online. Well, I don't know if these things have wee-wees or not. Check it out. I don't even want to break one open.

So you just eat it blind. Okay? That'll happen later today. Brett Eldridge will be on as well later today, dance parties, obviously. It'd be a good show. On the phone now is Gianna in Virginia. Hey, Gianna, how are you? Hi, I'm good.

Thank you for calling. How old are you, Gianna? I'm 10. Oh, wow, okay. You up early in the morning, okay? What would you like to say? I would like to ask you what streaming service breaking Bobby Bones is on. Oh, thanks for asking.

So you can purchase the episodes right now on Amazon, but if you wait until July 2nd, you can watch them on Disney. Plus. There'll be like eight episodes get loaded up on Disney Plus. So we're getting pretty close to that happening. So either Amazon, the NatGeo app, or on July 2nd, Disney Plus. Okay? Okay.

Thank you for calling. Thank you. Bye-bye. This Sunday night, I will be driving the big rig through Chattanooga, 18-wheeler's loaded with eggs. My goal was to get it all the way across the city without cracking an egg. Oh, man. Or without cracking like 1% of the eggs. Not just one egg.

Yeah. Because I don't think we went through. I think we would just grab random boxes and see if they cracked. But I had to learn. I guess where I got my CDL is miserable to get that license. And then the other one is I'm working a towboat. And I have to like stop this four million pound thing with a rope. So check it out on Nat Geo. Would love it if you watch.

Could really use your support and we could use the ratings. So hit it up. It's at 10.9 central on Nat Geo. Big show today. Anything, any final words before we get going today, Amy? Yeah, no. I just want to get it over with, mainly to see who's going to have to eat the cicadas. Well, that's later in the show.

Also, this is the last show. Eddie's in studio before he heads off for his walk. That's right. And I'm feeling good. Like you should. Like I should. Feeling good. Like I should.

Hope you guys watch Breaking Bobby Bones on Sunday night. Nat Geo. I'm an 18 wheeler driver. Big rig. Rolling on the real highway driving an 18 wheeler. And I was clueless and I thought I might kill somebody honestly. Like I was scared, not for my safety for everybody else's. Yeah, I've seen the promo and I'm nervous for you.

I haven't seen the promo. I haven't seen anything about it. Oh. So it was pretty nerve-wracking. Yeah, Nat Geo. I hope you guys watch Breaking Bobby Bones a Sunday night. Please do. Let's open up the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I are newly married and I notice something that he does that kind of grosses me out. When he takes a shower, he doesn't use a fresh wash cloth every time. He'll either reuse the one I just used or use the one that, He's been using in the shower the last couple of times.

He says it doesn't matter because it's clean. Since you just rinsed it in clean water after you shower, it's still a clean washcloth. Does anyone on the show reuse washcloths? Is it not as gross as I think it is to do that? Is there anything that your spouse does that grosses you out? I love the show and listen to the podcast every day. Thanks in advance for your advice. Sincerely a grossed out wife.

First of all, this situation, I don't reuse washcloths. However, I don't use a lot of washcloths. I got a little soap dispenser. I put soap in with my hands. And I have a little scrub that Caitlin makes me use because I was getting like pimples on the top of my back and my chest because I would sweat and it would just stay in like my, any sort of little hair I have there. And so now there's a little scrub that she makes me do. So I don't really use wash cloths though. I don't, I think it's pretty gross to use it again and again.

I know. But I mean, if you think about it, that's what you're doing with the lufa. But that's why they say lufus are bad. So I get that. But so I just something out of lufa seems more acceptable to use over and over. but a washcloth, absolutely not. I was cringing while you were reading that. Oh, I wasn't cringing, but I'm against it.

I'm against doubling up the washcloths. Yeah, because there's skin and dead skin, you know what I mean? Maybe a lupus seems okay because it looks like it's... That's what it's supposed to do, but a washcloth, no. Anti-bacteria. I don't even know if that's a thing. We're going to go with, it is gross to use a washcloth more than once. Yeah, you're okay to be grossed out by it.

It also stinks to have to do that much laundry, though, to be fair. If you're taking a shower and it's a dirty one every night. It's a little teeny tiny six by six square. What about a towel? Can you reuse a towel? Yeah, a few times. I'm good for two towel times. Yeah, it's your clean skin.

Yeah, I mean, that's up to you. But I'm not a washcloth that's been scrubbing all over your body. Agree. So we're settled on. It is gross. Now, is there anything that your spouse does that grosses you out? Yeah, I mean, he picks at his feet. He has some, like, weird fungus things that he picked up in the Middle East, like, when he was in the military.

still has it. Pretty sure. He's like one time he left for Afghanistan, came back, you know, there's community showers, all the military people, like, I don't even know what's going on over there. And he comes back and he's got this weird thing going on with his toes and his feet. Still has it and picks at it. That's unfortunate for him to have it. I know. I feel bad because I'm like, wow, you were serving our country. Yeah, that's why I didn't jump on your team on this one. I was just like, I feel bad for him. Yeah, but no, you don't, doesn't mean you have to pick at it. What about you? Kailen's pretty A plus on the gross. I will say that in a pinch, and she's only told me this because I haven't caught her, she's

used my toothbrush. Oh. That's not, ugh. And she acts like that's not a big deal. No, that's a big deal. But to me, I'm like, ooh, that's not for me. I don't like that. And sometimes she puts it in my face like, hmm, I'd just use your toothbrush.

Like if she's mad at you, she goes. Yeah. Eddie wife do anything gross? Yeah, the toothbrush. That's what I'll do. She does it too. She does a toothbrush. What's wrong with y'all's winning?

I have no idea. And I'm always like, use your own toothbrush. Please, that's disgusting. Yeah, that is. But guys, I was going to tell you, my washcloth that I bathed myself with this morning, I mean, it's been in there for two weeks. Oh, you're good on that. You take that guy's side.

I do. Because you do wash it with soap and you dry it out like you would do the laundry every day. I don't feel like that's the same. I can see it in your face. I just don't think that's the same. But you, I'm glad you have that opinion. All right, thank you for that email. Close it up.

We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mail back. Yeah. Morgan, if they want to email us, What do they do? Mailbag at bobby bones.com. On the Bobby Bones show now. Brantley Gilbert.

All right. World Premier Day, Brantley's on. The worst country song of all time is on. About to play it in a second with Toby Keith and also Hardy. How hard is it Brantley to get Toby Keith to do a song these days? Not easy, brother. I promised you that. It was kind of a, honestly, it was a long shot.

We wrote that last first, kind of catered to him, hoping that that would help. And, you know, Toby's a pretty serious dude. you know, he takes what he stands for, serious, and I respect those things about him. But he's also one of those that don't mind having a good time. So he, you know, I called him and we talked it out, and he jumped on it, and I can't tell you how stoked we are to have him on it. It's kind of the stamp of approval. You ever hung out with Toby not professionally?

Yeah, a little bit. You know, when you're on the road, there's still a little bit of business involved always, but we're able to spend a little bit of time with him. and, you know, spent some time with him on the phone and women were not on stage and on the road. Man, he was super cool to me, and he was super cool to my guys on the road. You know, we're a family out there,

so that meant the world to me, and I think the world of him. Being able to do a song with him is an honor, man. I'm stoked. Tell me about the worst country song of all time. Like, you're in a room, you got to start writing it. Like, what was the idea in the room? You and Hardy wrote this song.

Yeah, me and Hardy and Hunter Phelps and Will Weatherly and, you know, Hardy said, Hey, guys, I've got this idea in my phone. I don't know if there's anything to it. It was called the Worst Country Song all the time. And we all had a good laugh and kind of shrugged it off and joked it off and joked about it a little bit. And the next thing you know, we're actually writing it. So then it just kind of took off from there, man, honestly. It's, you know, obviously tongue in cheek.

and meant to be funny and meant to be fun. And, you know, that's not a side of my coin that people get to see very often from us. You know, it's usually arms crossed looking at the camera like we're going to beat it up and that kind of thing. So especially when our climate our society is so overly serious right now, I think it'll be good for everybody to kind of laugh a little bit, smile a little bit, and have a good time with us.

in your knockdown a camera days did anyone ever take a picture of you like I don't want a picture and you did knock a camera out of their hand that ever happened? I don't know. I didn't do it over at Charles Place, but Kanye would do that though, right? People would put up a camera and be like,

hey, let me get your picture and he's like get out of my face and knock it out. I just wonder if that was a, like in Brantley's, you know, troubled days if you ever knocked the camera out of somebody's hand. I would say there's probably better than a 50% chance. There's a 100% chance that whoever it happened to remembers it more than I did. What does it mean, I know what it means,

but what does it mean to you when it says produced by Brantley Gilbert? Did you sit in the studio and produce this song yourself? For sure, man. Yeah, we've kind of taken a different approach to this record. You know, with COVID and everything going on, it was a little bit of a different process, where a lot of a different process for us. It was kind of one of those things where we really worked off a lot of demos, man.

made what we could happen. But, you know, everybody was kind of operating and recording in their own little space. So if you get to a spot, you want live drums or you won't this guitar player on it, you kind of send it to them, they play the part, you know, send it back to us. And I tried to be in a chair beside Will Wetherly or Brock Berryhill and all, but, you know, as often as possible to put in my 10 cents. And, you know, it's something I'm proud to have my name next to. And I'm excited for everybody here this whole album.

All right, here we go. World Premier Day. We're going to play it now, the worst country song of all time with Toby Keith and Hardy, which, by the way, Brantley will be on the road starting June 25th. So looking at next week all the way up until May 6th. He's basically all over the country. You guys check out the tour dates at brantley gilbert.com. Brantley, good to talk to you, bud.

Bobby. That's BetterHelp. H-E-L-P. BetterH-E-L-P.com slash Bobby. Betterhelp.com slash Bobby. I didn't think anything about this, but I'm getting a lot of messages that that Brantley-L-L-L-Bolbert song is basically the same song Eddie and I and John Party did with Can't Say That in a Country Song. Because his whole song is, this is the worst country song ever. You couldn't put all this stuff in a country song. Yeah, which is kind of our song.

And that's what we did a couple months. ago, which is fine, but I really didn't think about it. And now lunchbox and Ray are telling me to sue. Yeah, Sue. Sue. Sue. Listen, we have to have lawyers that listen to this show, and I guarantee you someone will take up this case pro bono. I don't, I don't think, I don't know that there's anything. You can have the same concept. Listen, is it weird that it's out the same time, you know, two months after we put ours out? Yes, it's very weird. I've never heard this concept before. We put. it out. Is it weird? Yes, but do I think

there's anything to it? No. I think it's just accidental. Should we ask a lawyer? If there's anything? Yeah. Because, man, I just got hit with a bad like plumbing bill. I mean, this could really help out, you know what I'm saying? Let me ask Lunchbox and Ray, what do you guys suggest?

I would say you had to sit down with an attorney and sue because they obviously heard your song and said, hey, man, this is a great idea. I don't know they did. Listen, Hardy and Brantley wrote that, like he said, and two other people. I don't know. know they heard the song. Maybe they're fans. Oh, Morgan and Morgan. Oh,

we should get Morgan and Morgan and Morgan. I mean, and they do have music lawyers. I just Google. What does a music lawyer do? Yeah, we know that. A music lawyer specializes in legal issues surrounding the music industry. Copyright infringement. Boom, let's go. I didn't think anything about this. I still don't.

I'm not going to follow. It's a coincidence. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two, 30-second skinny. Lots of new music out. Today, Lauren Elena released a new song called If the World was a Small Town. Brantley Gilbert released his collaboration with Toby Keith and Hardy called The Worst Country Song of All Time. Blanco Brown released a new song called Nobody's More Country.

I've been back and forth and here to Georgia, Carolina to California. In Shai Carter released a collaboration with Cole Swindell and David Lee Murphy called Beer with My Friends. I'm organ number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home there's something good. It was graduation day in Center Point, Alabama, when Timothy Harrison showed up for his shift at Waffle House.

And his manager said, hey, man, aren't you supposed to be at graduation? He goes, I don't have a way to get across town. the ceremony and she goes, oh, you wait right there. So called a different manager that wasn't working that day, drove him to the local store, bought him some new slacks, a dress shirt, drove him to the ceremony to get his cap and gown and didn't have a ticket to the ceremony. So the assistant managers waited in the parking lot while he graduated. Wow. They couldn't get that assistant in there. They couldn't like sneak him in to watch. He said, I had people that wanted to see me succeed. So it kind of made me excited. When I put

on the clothes, that was a different feeling I've never had. I don't even know the words. Worth a million dollars it was the best feeling in the world that's pretty cool it does make me want a waffle too yeah i love waffle house to me wins like when it comes to breakfast places or late night places it's waffle house for me all the way some people like i hop and some people are snooty i'm going to say it right there like waffle house there is waffle house they don't they don't treat you any different rich, poor, black, white, tall, short. You go into Waffle House, it's one. You know, my family came in late the other night on the plane,

and I went to go pick them up at like one in the morning, and Waffle House was packed. Yeah. I mean, it was hopping. Everybody feels welcome at Waffle House. Okay, lunchbox. That's a good one. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

It is time for Fun Fact Friday, where Amy comes in, she's tough to beat, and she takes on a new Challenger every single week. Today, the Challenger, is Morgan number two. Fun fact Friday. All right, they'll give five fun facts, and what we'll do is pick which one we think gave the most fun fact. Person with the most points wins.

Lunchbox will not be on the panel today because last week you said you were going to vote against Amy regardless, which got you two-week suspension. Oh, you got to be careful what you say. The panel today judging me, Eddie, Ramundo. Yeah! Let's go with Fun Fact Friday. Hit us.

Number five. So the employees at Disney Parks aren't allowed to point with one finger at anything because it could be seen as a negative gesture. So if you ever see them pointing, they've got two fingers because other countries that one finger point could be bad. Well, in America, there's a certain one finger points that's pretty bad too. Right. But a lot of times when we point it's something, we take our index finger and we point,

but they have to do two. It's interesting. Almost like a flight attendant. Okay. Morgan? Did you know that you can sneeze faster than a cheetah can run? Clocking in at 100 miles per hour, we sneeze faster than Cheetah's run. Okay.

It's a good rookie one to start. Eddie? All right. So I'm going to go with Amy because I'm going to Disney over the summer. So I'm definitely going to try this out. Excuse me, where is the lemonade stand? And then they go to the right? Well, can you point to it?

I'm going to see what they do. So, Amy, I love your fact. Ray Muno? Yeah. Let's go with Amy definitely. Eddie, let me know if they go two fingers or one at Disney. You got it, Ray. I'm going Amy as well on this one.

That was a pretty easy one. But again, it was your first time ever, I'm working number two. Cheetahs and Sneezy? Don't fight for it. Don't fight for it. It's not a good luck. All right. Next up.

Number four. So Barry Manilow wrote the jingle for State Farm. Hit it. Now, do people know who Barry Manilow is? Copa Cabana? Yeah. Copa. Yeah.

He has a bunch of songs, but I don't know that at the younger age, would know who Barry Manilow is. Oh, okay. But he also wrote the jingle for Band-Aid. I am stuck on my. Barry Manelow. Okay, there you go, Barry Manelow. Morgan?

Goosebumps are meant to ward off predators. It came from our ancestors to help us appear bigger when up against predators and trying to be on the defense and look more intimidating. Okay, so goosebumps make us bigger. And bigger scares away people that are mean. Okay, Ramundo?

Got to go Morgan number two. None of the millennials really know Barry Manilow. Eddie? I love Morgan number two's, but I'm not a millennial, and I'm a jingle writer. I did one for Hoosie What's it? That's right. Amy, I love the Barry Manilow story. Morgan's is interesting because, like, why do we have goosebumps?

But I don't feel bigger when I get them. I don't feel like anyone wanted to beat me up, and I got goosebumps. And they were like, whoa, sorry, buddy. I got to go with Amy, too. I think her delivery was not good. I think she should have started with a Barry Manilow song to show people. But because I do know who he is, I'm also going to go with Amy. And there is Amy with two points.

All right. Okay. Number three. Well, copper doorknobs are self-disfecting. So somebody needs to tell me why every doorknob in the world is not made out of copper. Is it price? Probably. I would assume that, yes.

Isn't that the coolest thing, though? Like, I, now I figured, Bobby, you would want to know that at least at your house. You could copper it up. Moderately. Morgan, yours? There's only one animal on earth that can't jump, and it's an elephant. An elephant can't jump at all. Nope, can't jump.

They don't jump over stuff in the circus or anything? I mean, they might be able to if they're forced to, but their physical body is not allowed them to jump. All right, this is a pretty easy one. Copper doorknobs are jumping elephants. Ray? Jumping elephants, Borgon, too. Eddie? Not a germaphobe.

Give me the elephants. I like that. I just think it's more fun anyway. Jumping elephants for the elephants for the. win. All right, two to one. Morgan, you'll go first this time. Okay. Number two. The dot over the lowercase I or J. Do you know what it's called?

Slipsy. A tittle. Oh, easy. Hey, bleak that out. No, I'm just kidding. Have everyone wonder what she said? They know. No, it just sounds like something else. I know. A what? A tittle. A tittle. T-I-T-T-L-E. It's the I? What? The dot over the what? The I and the J.

when they're lowercase. Hey, don't forget to get your tittle. Hey. Okay, Amy. So a pharaoh once lathered up his people around him and honey so that all the bugs would go towards them and he would be bug-free. That's funny. Like his, you know, servant-type people. I mean, awful.

Awful. Let me say, first of all, awful. But, wow. I know. That's how. Nope, that's awful. You kind of. People were jerks back then.

Yeah, they didn't care. Ray. Amy, Farrow, and Honey, very interesting and cruel. Eddie? You know, I don't know. I'm stuck between this one, but I'm going to have to lean towards Amy. The Tiddle thing, like, it's interesting to me, but Farrow, I like it. Yeah, Amy, I got to go.

I like the Tiddle, but I'm going to have to go with the honey as the winner there on that one. All right, one more. Down to the number one. Well, dolphins have been trained to use in wars. Huh? I never knew this, but... Use what? Dolphins were trained to use in wars.

Oh, in a war. In a war, but, like, in the water, they would use them to do things. Like, even in Vietnam. They could train them to, like, carry things down or do stuff. I don't know. It's just the fun of that, like, dolphins were trained to use in war. This isn't that fun. Is it not?

Nah. You can give us some more details, nothing fun. And also, war is not fun. Right. You're like, let's talk about something fun. Well, let's start with war. But if she knew how they train them With like a machine gun

That'd be kind of cool Or if they use machine guns Right Is that what you're saying? A dolphin shooting a machine Like they threw grenades Right Yeah

That'd be like wow that's cool What is it flipper? No Boom See? That's so I did read the whole paragraph About it

But now I can't remember Exactly what they did I just thought it was interesting That dolphins We hear about dogs Being used To like help out They weren't harmed

They were helping You don't know they weren't harmed Now you're just making stuff up Morgan What is your fact Okay, does anybody ever wanted to know why your fingers and toes shrivel up when you're in water for a long time? I do want to know that. It's because our body is trying to find a way to improve our grip on wet objects, much like rain treads in car tires.

Huh. That's pretty cool. Yeah. It's better than a war dolphin. I agree. Well, did you know the dolphins could be trained to use? Yeah, dolphins are very smart. Yeah, I know they're smart, but I've never heard of them being used in wars.

Was that flipper when he threw the bottle back on the boat? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, smart. Ray, you got to go with the day. Oh my gosh, you don't have to. M2, always wondered why I shriveled up. Eddie? Me too.

I'll go with Morgan. Me too. But that means, though, with a 3-2 victory, Amy wins again. Wow. A lot of strategy in this game. A lot of strategy. Amy, congratulations. Don't be sour because your last one didn't get the point.

I'm not sour, but, okay, so the dolphins were used to detect submarines and underwater mines. It's not a good look to keep fighting for it. She's fighting it. Yeah, she promises no dolphin got hurt. Now I'm starting to think maybe they did get hurt. Anything in war probably got hurt. Shoot. All right, thank you. Amy, you are the winner, though.

for it. This is James. I'm going to leave a little message about this camera check that Amy might have. If she looks on the check and whatever. with banks that it's road on, she can go to that bank and cash it. That way, she doesn't have to put her banking information. Okay. And you're doing that this weekend?

Yes, we'll be taking care of it. I'll have an update for you next week. Amy got a check from those cat people that were scamming her. Then a listener called to say, don't put it into the bank. They'll get into your bank. We don't know what's happening. Yeah, there's something called a scammer check. Who knew?

Yeah. Let us know. Monday. Yeah, keep your posting. Katie and San Antonio left his voicemail. Hi, good morning. I just wanted to say that I, listen to you guys on my way to the gym every morning. I'm on my way to the gym right now,

and I was like, hey, I'm just going to leave a voice now. All right. Have a great day. Bye. That's it. Nothing else there. We'll take it. Here's Tommy in Las Vegas. Hey, good morning, studio. Just wondering, what happened to the chocolate cicadas? Just saying, listen, I don't remember hearing anything on it. All right. Have a good day. Mark, funny you should add. Hands are machines broken. We have one in studio today. We will be doing it in about 90 minutes or so. The chocolate covered cicadas are here. someone will eat them, we'll spend that wheel

and coming up, baby, somebody can eat your skater. I bet it's me. Dang it. Here's Amy's pile of stories. There's a web designer that named his baby HTML. I saw that. I wonder if he calls her huddle. Or if he calls her HTML or just

H, baby H. Well, technically the boy's name is hypertext markup language, which is what HTML stands for. That's more normal. That makes sense. They're calling the baby HTML for sure. I mean, it's like if you named your baby after your career, like, what would it be? After my career?

Or, like, you're in radio or TV or like, he's a web designer, so he likes HTML. So you called a microphone or something. FM. What's FM, Stan Forgan? Frequency modulation. There you go. Perfect name. Hey, guys, this is a little modulator over here.

Modge, for sure. I mean, they have to call that baby H, right? Because you get tired of it. Hey, HTML. Come here. Yeah. What else? Okay, so I love when foods collab.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch is now collabing with cinnamon rolls, so Pillsbury Do-Boy. And they have Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookies coming out and cinnamon rolls with the cinnamon toast crunch. I can't even. I'm so excited for it. Yeah, that's pretty good. Although we talk about this stuff and we never ever go buy it. We're always like, I'm so excited for it. And then I never see it in my real life.

It's always, it comes and goes like a ship in the night. Yeah, well, these are something you can look for. if that's something that you're into because they're hitting stores nationwide this month. I do love cinnamon toast crunch with anything, though. That's the best cereal. Yes, hands down. I don't eat it that often because that's way too much sugar in it, but that's the best cereal. I still am on my special K with berries.

Oh. No, that's not the best cereal. It's okay. Considering what I get from it, it's pretty good. You know, I'm trying to stay healthy but have a little flavor. I do special K with berries. The berries are in it already. They're freeze-dried, but they're good, with almond milk.

and I have a bowl every morning, and then I try to not eat too much milk. I fill the bowl up with milk, but I try not to eat too much milk, so there's enough milk to pour a little more back in there again. But if there's not, I don't. It's kind of my rule on how much cereal, my cereal intake. All right, what else? So Kelly Clarkson covered Joe Diffy's prop me up beside the jukebox. I bet her audience was like, what is this?

I've never heard that song before. Because unless you know 90s country, you probably don't know, prop me up beside the jukebox. My favorite Joe Diffy's song, by the way, this is. This one. Up with sand. I over her. You can't hear her.

Yeah, it's good. She's always good. She's the best, best singer. Good talk show host. She just got it all. I'm jealous. I start resenting her right now. Yeah, that's good.

We added to Women of I Heart Country are playing Alanis Morse sets with Willie Nelson. On the road again? Yeah, it's Alanis with Willie. And we've reached out to try to get Alanis on the show. We've had it a little success if possibly lining that up. Okay. But whenever I was kind of going to the list of songs,

I was like, huh, I wonder if anyone would get mad about Adelanis? And I was like, you know what, I don't care. Amy would get the hate. She hosted it. Yeah. Well, what about adding Kelly Clarkson brought me up beside the jukebox? Not a studio version. Oh, okay.

She just sitting in her show. Oh, okay. Every show episode she comes out and covers a song. When I did the Kelly Clarkson show, she came out and did Prince when Doves cry. Oh, that's cool. And so I did the show on Zoom, but I'm sitting here on Zoom watching her sing when Doves cry. And they're like, all right, cut. She's like, all right, next segment.

She walks over to her chair and then starts interviewing people. Awesome. Yeah, it's pretty cool. All right. All right, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Tell me something good. So this kid, Will Wooten, who is a Boy Scout, was on his way to become an Eagle Scout. So he had to have a project to focus on so that he could, you know, move up. Well, the local fire department where he lived was struggling, so he decided to help him out. They needed new turnout suits, which is protective suits that firefighters wear in the field. So we started fundraising with a car wash. And then he sold Krispy Kreme donuts.

Word got out. His goal was really to only raise $2,500. He raised $22,000. Wow. Enough for the department to buy new turnout suits for every firefighter on staff. So the fire chief, James Bowen, says they were so grateful. And the funds have allowed them to keep doing what they love to do. That's pretty good.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. What's that kid's name? Will Wooten. Woo-Woo-Woo. Will Wooten, Woop. A lot of Woboo-W is there at Will Woot, Woot. That's what it's all about. Nice job.

That was Tell Me Something Good. We're just a few minutes away from Brett Eldridge performing live in the studio, so that will be fantastic. Now, today's morning corny is a bit special. Why? Yeah, well, because I got a text from Trevor Rosen, who's in Old Dominion, and he just said, hey, randomly thought of a good dad joke in case you want to have him for the morning corny. Okay, so this is a celebrity corny. Yeah. Okay, here's some pressure here. I replied to him, yes, definitely.

So he sent it over to me as a question, and then I had to kind of like, yes, and then he sent me the answer. So just like we do here sometimes. A little too involved for me as far the text message goes. And then he has his own gif of himself laughing, and then he sent that. So I was like, wow, you're off. What else he texting you? A little comedian over here. Okay, here it is.

This is all submitted by Trevor from Old Dominion, right? Yeah. Okay, here we go. The Morning Corny. Why did the thief stop stealing? windows. Why did the thief stop stealing windows? Because it was a pains taking process.

Get it? Window pains? A painstaking process? Yeah. I got it. Yeah. Here's a gift of me laughing. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That was the morning corny. On Monday's show, Eddie will be en route walking from West Virginia

to Tennessee. Basically a 100 mile track. Over four days. Average in over 20 miles a day. Yes. You feel like you're in shape of this? Yes. I've been training for over two weeks now.

Not a lot of time. But yes, I'm as ready as I can be. Myla and Oklahoma is on the phone to talk about this for a second. Hey, Mila, how are you? Hi, how are you, buddy? I'm doing pretty good. What would you like to say? I would like to tell Eddie, I am so encouraged for him to do this walk.

And I wanted to give him a few tips. Every year I do this is Mindy Cohen. Three-day walk for a cure. We walk 20 miles a day. We don't have hotels every night. We sleep in tents. Day, okay. That's the next level.

Got you. It's deployed. And I, in Afghanistan. And she's in the military. Dang. Yeah. So the idea about if he'll put mold skin on his heels, that really helps the blisters. She can get it at CVS, Walgreens anywhere.

And changing shoes, like that other doctor had said, is the great thing. so but I just wanted to encourage him and you know if I did it in the 130 degrees of weather yeah 130 degrees of weather she keeps one upping him she's three upped him so far and she will continue to yeah yeah so I just I just wanted to give him a quick shout at and I'm so happy for him and I'm encouraged about how much you all raised all right thank you very much thank you for your call that's right let's not let it be lost that we raise $60,000 absolutely for national angels an organization that helps with foster children Sean in Arizona is on real quick.

Hey, Sean, what's going on? Hey, so I heard you guys this morning talking about eating chocolate-covered potatoes today. Yes. And it just reminded me back in fifth grade, we did a whole unit on Enimaphagi, which is just eating bugs for nutrition. And at the end of the unit, our teacher brought in some chocolate-covered crickets for all of us to try. And I remember at first I was really grossed out at the thought of eating a bug.

And I ended up eating it. and thinking that it tastes like a Nestle crunch bar. So I think you guys will like it. Love it. I'm very excited about this. The only difference for me is this bug is much bigger and much meatier. I don't want a crunch. You don't want a crunch?

It's got a crunch. It's got a crunch. It's got a crunch. It's got a crunch. It's got a star crunch. It's going to be like, you ever have a star crunch. A little Debbie Star Crunch. Hey, I appreciate that call.

That's get sunday.com. The Friday morning conversation with Brett Eldridge. Brett, how are you, bud? I'm good. How are you doing? I'm doing good. A question for you. You being a Cubs fan and just a baseball fan in general.

The debate we have on this show is, is it okay to wear a jersey? First of all, as an adult man. I did wear an Arkansas Razorbacks baseball jersey to watch Arkansas play. And Kaelan was like, are you going to really wear a jersey? And I was like, yeah, because we're going to a game. That's what you do at a game. Right. But first of all, can you wear a jersey to a game as an adult man?

Absolutely. Okay. Now, can you wear a jersey as an adult man just hanging out? Like going to, like Chocolat. I don't do that. You don't do that. I mean, you can do whatever you want. I don't do that. If you saw an adult, and also I told her too, and you guys can jump in on this, I said it also matters what sport the jersey is. Like you're not going to see me wearing a basketball jersey somewhere. Because there's just too much arms. There's too much action. You can see in this. You're not going to see me wearing a football jersey because it's just too big. But a baseball jersey is almost. like a shacket. It's almost like a shirt. I mean, especially if it's styled. Like if it's like super jersey, I don't know. Like there's, I think there's vintage ones that I really like. I would wear certain ones, but I don't always do that, but I don't judge anybody for doing that.

Here's my next question in fashion. Okay. High fashion. Here we go. So being now that I'm 40 years old, I still have hoodies that I bought before I turn four. Is it okay to wear a hoodie at even your age? You 35 now? Yep. Is it okay to wear a hoodie at 35, in your opinion? Absolutely. I wear lots of those. What about me, though, five, six years old? Absolutely. Okay. As you're wearing one now. Yes, I am.

What's he going to say to your face? Well, you can say no. He can say whatever he wants to say. Hoodie all day. I don't buy new hoodies, but I grandfathered them in. I still wear them if I bought them. That's a good call. So I don't go to the store and be like, got to get me a new hoodie. But I do own a bunch and I still wear them.

Because if you did buy new and you'd wear the same old ones, because they're more comfortable or whatever, Does they have a thing? No, I just feel like I don't need to be buying new hoodies. Okay. I can still wear the ones I had. I don't need to be buying billionaire boy clothes. I don't do anything I want to do.

I get it. How have you been? It's sensible. Oh, I'm good. Every time I see you on social media, you're like deep in the woods and I just see your boot. I wonder on those hikes that you take, because it's always a stream or a tree or an eagle flying over. Do you ever get inspired to write music, though, as you're doing these walks? 100% I mean, I hike almost every day, but it just kind of gets me out of my head and kind of into

real stuff, I guess, and it opens my mind up a little bit. And so I'll get melody or something and I'll record it on my phone and get ideas and just kind of contemplate and just walk around. Look at Bert. Look at Eagles up in the sky. Can you name a song that you have written that was inspired by you walking in the woods? I would say a lot of my new ones are, but I wouldn't like there's one that's like, I want hiking today. Oh, that'd be a good one. I like hiking today. That's a hit.

If I heard hiking today, I'll be like, dang, that'd be awesome. That'd be a very specific market. All the hikers out there would love it. You can have birds chirping in the background of the song. Insert real birds. Yeah. The ones as you were hiking. I kind of like that.

That's the challenge we're giving you for the next three years. Okay. You have to somehow put the word, you have to put some sort of hiking reference. Have you ever put a hiking reference in a song? No, but I should. I mean, I think it's very specific. Yeah. But I mean, people love to hike.

I feel like you can be like. Yes. And it can be subtle. It's like, ooh, baby, look in your eyes. Reminds me of when I was hiking. Put on. Yeah, it's like, put on your hiking boots. There you go.

That's it too. Yeah. That's all we got right now. That's all we got. That's all we need, though. Hey. That's how you get to the hits. That's what we do.

You're talking, you just mentioned something about new music. So are you recording music right now? Yes. What's that plan? Hopefully get some stuff. you know, the process can take forever sometimes, but I've written probably eight of the songs for my new album already, and now I'm starting to record him,

so it's been vocaling them and recording them, and so I'm deep in it. And how locked up do these songs live? Because, you know, like Taylor Swift will only play them out. Do you show up in the box and flip it open and be like, you can only listen to you? I'll hear it like this. You know, I'm a believer that, in fact, if we get time,

I'll play something no one's ever heard today, but like I like to just get it out there, because I like to see how people react to things and there's avenues to get music out there now. It's like I want to, I'm always writing songs so I want to hear what people think and how they feel from it.

What if you played a new song and we reacted in a negative way? Like we were the audience and we're like, oh, I don't know, Brett. You all are wrong. We don't hide it well sometimes. I mean, there's subtle clues. Like, you could, if we're like...

Don't give away all the subtle clues, though. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes artists come in. I'm already like nervous right now. What's going on? No, that's good. If I, It's tough.

There are things because at times I will not hear an artist until they play on that stage that you're on. And once they play, you realize, oh, they do not sound at the same level as their recording sounds. And then it's awkward because I don't even want to look at them until it's over. Yeah. We're like, I won't let you down. That's tough. Well, why don't you give us a little something new? Do you have the songs memorized already?

No, but I have a lyric right here. Okay, what's this one called? This one's called I Want That Back. I want that back. Did you write this? I did. And what was the inspiration of this new song? This inspiration actually came at 4 a.m. in the middle of night.

It was kind of in the heat of pandemic times and kind of looking through all the things I don't need my life and could go without and the things that you want to hold, you know, pull closer. And, you know, as the simple things that mean a lot that I want to hold on to and the things you want to throw out. And so it's called I Want That Back. And what room of a house or a bedroom did you write this in? I just want to get the full picture. Did you wake up and write it or were you awake? I have this thing where 4 a.m. And I would, I've got this little like old school recorder because I don't put my phone by my bed

because then I'll look at it and it'll wake me up and then I'll think about it or something. So I got this little recorder and what I do is I'll, if I have something that pop up, I'll just record it right there. And I had the whole lyrics of this chorus just kind of show up in the middle. the night. It doesn't always have him like that, but it just did. And I had one buddy that I knew was a perfect person to help me finish this because I already wrote the chorus, helped me kind of shape the verses a little bit and everything. And I called him up. His name is Scooter Crusoe. And we wrote Mean to Me to Me and Want to Be That Song. He's kind of been one of my guys that I've

always written with. And I think we got a really special one. But nobody's ever heard it. Here it is. We will be the judge of that, Brett. Let's see how special it is. Okay, so this is call. I'm trying to get the start. right because I've never, it's called, I want that back. I want that back. Ritten it 4 a.m. for the most part. What were you wearing in bed? Bob Marley T-shirt and, uh... You sleep in a T-shirt? Yes. Oh.

Hey, weirdo. Is that weird? This is what we jump on them for? I don't sleep in a shirt. Sometimes when I'm not feeling good about... I mean, I do both, but that night it was probably a Bob Marley T-shirt. Okay, we'll accept it. All right, here we go. I'm a bob-miley t-shirt singing this song. All right, here's, I want that back. You can have the small toe. You can have the hate. You can have the check your phone each time you get a little break.

You can have the lonely. You can have the bank. You can have the TV full of stations that tell you how to thank. But the smell of old wood bleachers and the word of hometown preachers being rich was her and a cheap six-pack. Yeah, the shine of a new summer barefoot beach. baseball with my brother first time freedom with the windows crack I want that back that's really good man that's really good I'm gonna open my eyes to see if you all give me the love we're looking give it a Grammy that's what I say oh good dang dude that's a good

one. Anybody else get emotional? Yeah. Goose bumps. Yeah, me too. I felt that. Yeah, in my forearms. Usually it's in my thighs.

For some reason, as I start to think about where they hit me, it kind of had my forearms there. That's awesome. I mean, look at you. Look at you. I mean, God gifted you the voice of an angel. Thank you. Do you ever just look up and go, yo, dude, appreciate that?

I do sometimes. That's weird. I don't understand how I got it, but I got it. I'm glad to have it, and I feel very fortunate. So I try to belt it out right here. Why did I not get it? You know? I know.

You got other things, man. I think that about a lot of people that come in here. No, it's easy to get envious of that. It's a brand new song from Brett Eldridge. When will people, just your best guess here, when do you think people will be able to hear the version of that from a studio? A month, two months? I would hope in the next few months.

Really? Man, it's a good one. That is a good one. Okay.

That's get sunday.com. The Friday morning conversation with Brett Eldridge. Going out on the Good Day, the American Tour. dates. That means there are European dates too, so you're going to go and be basically most of May. When you go somewhere like the UK, like how are you received there? Is it here's an American who sings country music?

Let's go explore him. Or are they like, oh my gosh, Brett Elder just coming? For me, it's like the excitement of like when you get your first hit or a song's even starting to get played and people get so excited because you know, they get to discover it first or something. And when you go, you know, thousands of miles, you know, away from home and play music, I just feel like there's so much appreciation. So I continue to want to go back every year that I can.

And so it is really cool. Is it weird to go places and they sing your songs back when they don't even speak your language? Yes, very much. Which is, yes, absolutely. Cool but great. I played in Berlin and I remember playing up there and I remember like being in meet and greets and stuff and a lot of people didn't speak English. But then I'd look out in the crowd and

be like, all these people are speaking English perfectly fine right now and they're singing it. So it's pretty cool. I think it's a special thing to be able to have that. If your record label came to you today and they said, hey, Brett, we heard you play the new song that you just played on the Bybone show. We really feel great about this album. We've heard some tracks, but we really need you to post a shirtless pick to promote the record and the tour. They came to you and pulled you aside. So we need you to go shirtless.

What? What is this question? I'm asking if they came. That would be uncomfortable, but they were like, hey, we really need to go full sex appealed. Would you post a shirtless picture, like on the front of your record? Would you do that? Would you be shirtless? No, hell no.

No chance. I could never live with that. I could never live with that. Why? I don't know. I'm always working out. I'm trying to get better, but I don't want to see that. Nobody else wants to see that.

What is the Brett Eldridge workout routine? I left about four days a week, and then I like, like, I'm trying to put on some weight. so I'm just lifting weights and cycling for cardio. Yeah, but trying to put on weight. You have trouble putting on weight? Well, last year during the quarantine, I ran the whole time, and I didn't go to gyms. And so I just lost a ton of weight running like crazy, which was good for my mind. But then I was like, God, I'm kind of skinny.

So I've been trying to eat a lot more. I mean, I'm always eating healthy, but eat more and lift weights and make sure I get a lot of cardio in for my heart. Most of I just want to feel good. Are you worried about going back on stage and not having your air? Like if you're singing all these songs? Yeah, absolutely. That's a big part. I mean,

you can do like Beyonce did. I've been swimming a lot. And I also do these, I do the cold showers in the morning. And I do the, who everybody else gasp? Have you all done that? Terrible. Yeah, I like that.

Do you do like the as cold as it goes? Yeah, as cold as I can possibly get it. For how long with you? At least three minutes. So you do the three minutes. That's what I did this morning. Psychopepal. Three minutes, ten seconds.

Yeah. If there was like a mystery. murder in town? I would go, well, let's go look at Brett and Amy because they're psychopaths in other ways. Have you heard of Wim Hof? Have you heard of that guy? No. So he's this Dutch guy that teaches like this breathing and this technique to where you can go in and withstand crazy cold temperatures by doing his technique. You got to watch it. Just look it up. It's really interesting.

I don't think I will. I just have no interest whatsoever. You know, you know me. I'm always very open about like anxieties and stuff. Like the cold shower really helps pop me out of like a weird state. Have you done cryotherapy? Yes. Okay. I've done that.

It's funny that he said therapy. Like I started going like maybe six or seven months ago. And it was my three minutes of some people go in there and they want to listen to music and dance out. And I go in and I'm like, no music. Just put me in the box. And I come out like a better, in a better mental state. I did mine for injuries. I'd never felt like I'm going to be a better person.

Oh, well, I mean, I would. I went and I was coming out like mentally better. So in a way, that is a different injury. You know what I mean? It's not like a muscle recovery, but it's like an emotional maybe anxiety or type recovery. Okay. Well, listen, weird.

Weirdos. Next we're going to do some breathing. Everyone. Have you started working on your set list at all for when you finally go out? Yesterday my band leader called me is like, right, let's get the set list going, which makes me so nervous to do that. Because I was used, you know,

you have to pick through a lot of songs. What's the first song back? Like the first opening song It's you You're walking out on stage First time in a year and a half I mean I think it's got to be I mean it's a good day tour

It's gonna be good day I don't know why what it feels like So you start with that I think so This thing is a set some Like a positive mood What do you close with I don't know

We need to figure this out No we got a mouse in the pocket I figured that I figured that I figured in the wrong song I mean I don't know Okay let me think

What I would If I were going to do your show I don't think you're gonna like my answer That's it Because when you look back, I'm sure you're tired of playing this, not tired, but I'm sure if you got to pick you would play the new stuff because it's more

exciting as an artist, right? Because you were living a different life whenever you put don't you out. Yeah, absolutely. But however, I think you close on, don't you? That's not a bad song to close on. Just because it's big, it's upbeat. Yeah. I can see you, baby, you're getting closed. I mean, the crap, right? Don't we feel like that's... I used to close with

the music. That was a good one to close with. But maybe, it's not bad thought. Am I run when I wrote the flagpole? for me do you ever not play a hit? Oh I did that one time

It didn't go well As the closer you mean No just at all on the set list Oh it all? What did you not play? I think one time We just screwed up Or something

And we forgot to add Like And I probably mean to me Every time But it was like mean to me Or something You know And it's one of my favorite

Songs at play And somehow it slipped through our You know Just writing the set list Because I like to switch it up And I think I forgot it that night And we were like, man, something didn't feel right. Like, there's a moment in the show that we didn't have.

And it was that. And so many people were like, that was our wedding song. Oh, man, can you imagine? You go to hear one song and he don't play it. So if you come to the good day tour, I will remember every song, I promise. And if not, I'm sorry. Will you play the long way? Yeah.

Because that is, not here. I mean, if you play it now that's great. But I'm saying, will you play that on a tour because that's my favorite song. Yes. You will. You're committed. I like to break that one down. Sometimes it's played acoustic.

Well, lucky for us. That's what he's doing here. Yes. Well, you play us some of the long way. Yeah, okay. All right. Okay, I'll bring you right into it. Just take a trip around your town right here we go.

Don't think I've ever seen your kind of pretty. Wandering around this midnight, Midhouse City. You got a look that says you got it all together. So if you don't mind, I'd like to know you better. Take me the long way around your town Were you the queen with the silver crown? I want the secrets you keep The shine underneath of the diamond

I think I just found Take me the long way around I wondered if you'd chase that big note this early in the morning And he did it, he did it! I was scared, but I did it. He did it. He chased it. You just got to show up and do it. That's life right there.

As police searched the area for a child, they were alerted about possibly something in a fishing pond. Officer Daniel Thompson and Sergeant Matthew Tycast could not see the kid at first due to debris, but eventually spotted some air bubbles and the boy's silhouette about 20 feet from the bank. As the two officers jumped in the water to rescue the kid, the officer Chad Belowski retrieved a throw rope. they said the boy was brought to shore was not breathing they began CPR finally got some breathing back from him

Let's go, come on, come on. Let's go, baby. Amy is off. Yeah. I did not want to be dramatic about this, so I'm so thankful. Amy is coming off the wheel. That almost got to me. I thought it was going to get to me. Man, I manifested that. We're all manifesting it. You're not more than ours. Your manifest is so strong.

Landed on me. It did. You're right. You got it. Okay. Amy's off the wheel. Who do y'all want me to manifest for? Me? Me, please. All right. Who do you like to finish?

I mean, I would do that, but the listeners are going to get mad. Yeah. Okay. So I won't do that. Because I for sure would do that. That was funny. But listeners will get mad, and I want to... The integrity of the wheel.

I believe in it. Okay. Ray, it's you and I. Anything you want to say? Not looking forward to eating it. I'm guessing it's me. I mean, honestly, I haven't gambled in four months. I'm gambling now and I'm losing.

Okay, here we go. Let's spin that wheel! Come on, come on, come on. Oh, it was that last click. Like, Will of Fortune. That was awesome. Yeah, there you go. Okay, so step right up.

Yo. Let me know if you got me on camera. I got you. How do you feel right now? I mean, not looking forward to it, but definitely like channeling you on bare grill. Sometimes you just got to eat bugs and stuff like that. Like, it does look like chocolate, but I can see the cicada easily underneath it.

So I'm not thinking chocolate. I'm thinking bug. Let us hear as you crunch it. Here we go. Three, two, one. In his mouth, go. Oh, my gosh. Oh my gosh.

That's awesome. That's awesome. Ray? It was really crunchy. Yeah. It's small part of it tastes like a Kit Kat. Really? Nice.

I mean, I can feel the tentacles and stuff. Oh. You can feel the wings. The wings are tough to chew. How did it taste? Decent. It wasn't God awful if I needed to. in like a pinch, I would eat that.

So like if you were hungry. With a little bit of chocolate. In a pinch. What if we wash the chocolate off? No. I'm just kidding. Hey, there he is. Raymoogne.

He lost. Chocolate covered cicada and now we know. And like they say, knowing is bliss. And knowing is half the battle. Okay, there it is. Okay, there it is. Okay, coming in, our big boss.

He comes on the show about once a year. Brandley Gilbert put out a new song today as a world premiere called the, what's it called? The worst country song of all time? Right? Worst country song of all time. And it's a song basically about all the things you can't say in a country song.

Oh, here's a clip. Eddie and I have put out a song called You Can't Say That in a Country Song, which is basically the same song. Yeah. Because you just described this song is basically a song that says things you can't say in a country song. Which is the title of our song. We put it out with John Party like two months ago, maybe even less, and all of a sudden this is out.

Getting fishy. The thing is, Ray and Lunchbox are in my ear. They keep saying the same thing to me. Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. Okay, well, I don't know. I didn't even think about it. But we're going to bring our boss in and we're going to see what he has to say. I don't want to do anything that is dramatic, but I don't.

But I'd like to get our song and play a little bit, too, you know.

I didn't even think anything about this when it happened. Then listeners were just going,

do you hear this? Do you hear this? And I was like, nah, stop it. Today, Brantley Gilbert puts out a good song called The Worst Country Song of All Time. You heard it? Yeah. And the whole song is doing what? It's sort of like saying things that, yeah, you normally would never hear in a country song. For example, here's a clip of Brantley's new song. So it's all stuff you don't hear in a country song. And they say that. Worst country song of all time. But Eddie and I did a song called Can't Say That in the Country Song.

With John Party. And so our boss Rod is in here now. Have you heard these songs? So when I heard Brantley's song, I of course had heard your song. And it did not occur to me. A little bit maybe like somewhere in the back of my mind. But I wasn't like, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

This is the same thing. And then I played them back to back. I'm like, same concept. Right. And is it weird that we just put it out? I've been playing it live for two years doing comedy shows with it. Then we just put it out and then it comes out. Well, I don't know.

Define weird. Well, Ray and Lunchbox... Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. This is what we're saying. Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. Ray, Lunchbox. I don't want... I think it's...

Well, I think it's coincidence, but... Me too. For the record, I think it's coincidence. But here's my beef. So you two are not chanting Sue yet. Right. Got it. Here's my beef is that you give them a world premiere seven times on every radio station.

this song is playing throughout the day. Seven times nationally. Is that true? It's about that, yeah. Okay. How come we didn't get it at World Premier with the same song? Explain yourself. Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue.

Sue, Sue, Sue, Rod. I expected the self-promoter that you are, that you would just do that on your own. But I can't play on at 3 p.m. Yeah, or we should. Right. So I'm willing to drop my suit, guys. Whoa. Yeah, here we go.

So, I'm willing to drop my potential lawsuit. If you can do Maybe even next week A World Premiere Okay But we've already We'll just call it that Because no one's heard it anyway

Right, just us The Raging Idiots with John Party Can't say that in a country song If you give us the same love I will drop it What should we get John Party to do To finalize this

First of all His boy, he lost his voice He can't talk He's on vocal breath I saw that on social So nothing So he's out He's out

And he's in Oh I'm in Yeah Are you suing? We need to know Who's suing and who's not We're all suing. Here's the thing.

We're all on the same boat. So one suing, we're all suing. Yeah, we all want to get rich. We've got lawyers. I got, yeah. We have Morgan and Morgan in our back pocket. We can call it any time. Yeah.

So if I'm willing to not be irritated by this. I thought about challenging Brantley to a celebrity boxing match just to really. Yeah, he was like brass knuckles. You can't brachs and knuckle a celebrity boxing match. He can. He will. He's not small, though. I mean, he's.

Yeah, I probably lose. But still. Can you, Rod Phillips, head of IHeart Radio Country Division, all the stations, can you guarantee us next week a world premiere seven plays nationally on every radio station? That's what you gave-

Now we're, now-what did you give Brantley? Well, here's the point to nationally. There are cities where this show does not run. It doesn't matter. Not many. But we need it on those stations too. Well, those stations, though, those listeners probably are not as familiar with Bobby Bones in the region.

They need to be. Sometimes we debut a new song, I Heart on the Verge. Heck, make us on the verge then. That's right. Amy, great point, too. They know John Party. That's true. Great point.

You're welcome. I'm just too busy yelling over here. I am one versus seven. Yeah. You're doing a lot of stammering. And there's some litigation coming quickly. Mm-hmm. We love litigation.

Yes. Okay, so let's negotiate this out. Go ahead. Maybe not here. Maybe not now. No, why not? I think we need a plan for the cities that don't run the Bobby Bone show. That is a...

It's Bobby Bones. But the cities that don't run us at night. Many run at night. Yeah. We want seven plays nationally. Or we're taking this to the next level. Sue, Sue, Sue. I'll get them on the phone.

I feel like we can work something out that's going to be. Come to us with a plan Monday. Amicable for all. We'll call you Monday or Tuesday and you let us know what you come up with. Okay. Yep. My day Tuesday and then we do it next week. Sure. But you will admit it's a little fishy.

Well, it's interesting. I never heard a song like this in my life. All of a sudden, we write one. You all wrote it or John wrote it? No, I wrote it with Jim Beavers. Whose idea was it? Jim and I, we signed a room and wrote it. Jim also, and then Jim wrote with Brantley.

I'm just making sure. No, Jim didn't write with Brantley. But you know what? Maybe Jim wants to sue, sue, sue, sue, sue. I heard that Hardy was at the same restaurant that Jim and Bobby were that night that they decided to write it. That's what I heard. Right. And then I wonder if John hung out with Brantley and gave him the idea.

But we played it on the show. Okay, let us know Monday or Tuesday. Okay. How do you feel about Eddie? He's heading off to after the show today's driving to West Virginia, walking to Tennessee. I can't wait. Gator Harrison, who programs a bunch of our radio stations as well. We're thinking about coming over for full support.

Oh. Like signs and, you know. Where? To the edge of Tennessee? Where? Well, somewhere in between you're somewhere in between West Virginia and Tennessee. Yeah. Depends where you're at.

Do you like that bit? Right? I love the bit. Yeah. But it starts on Father's Day. Otherwise, I'd start. But I get, Father's Day is kind of a thing. Sorry you're leaving your kids, Eddie.

That's all right. He's been here. We're going to do something. We're going to get something out of this. You're guaranteeing that. I'm guaranteeing you get something out of it. I feel like you'll like it. Okay.

You better hope we like it or else it's... Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. Lunchbox is gonna do some research over the weekend and find out what exactly we can win. Monetary damages. Oh, I know he'll know. Okay, we're good. We're good. Ray had eat the chocolate covered cicada a few minutes ago.

Would you like a chocolate covered cicada? I'm gonna pass. I'm going to pass. Alright, there he is, our boss, Rod Phillips, who also admits that it's a little fishy that song exists. Yeah. I didn't say it was fishy, I said it's interesting. It is interesting. Okay, we'll end on this. We will play Can't Say That in a Country song from Bobby Bones and the Raging Idiots. It's only two minutes long.

So is this one of the premier? No, we want it. This one doesn't count. We want to see it fly up the chart. Got it. And if we don't, you know what we do? Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue, Sue. Oh, it'll be a great week. Here you go.

Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from New York City. A 27-year-old man was in a restaurant and he said, hey, excuse me, can I use your restroom? And the 77-year-old cook said, sorry, sir, there are no public restrooms. The 27-year-old got mad, grabbed the cook by the shirt, and threw them out the front window. Wow. Dang. It's a healthy response.

Hoping they were on the ground level, the restaurant. Yeah, ground level. Not on one of those New York skyscrapers? They just throw them out. Also, I mean, you got to grab them by the back of the collar. Like that's a tough thing to do Throw someone out a window Yeah, it's like a movie

So what happened to the guy? He got some scrapes and bruises Had to be taken to the hospital And the 27-year-old ran But employees ran after him And tackled him and held down To police came You should have thrown him out a window too

Walked him just found a window Oh yeah buddy You want to see what this is like All right I'm Lunchbox That's your Bonehead Story of the day Thank you guys for listening Hope you have a wonderful weekend

Amy on your agenda Oh this weekend I've got, I'll be celebrating you and Caitlin. We're having a wedding shower. Yeah. A couple's wedding shower. So that's pretty much like my big activity. What about you?

Well, that and Caitlin's parents are in town for that. So we'll be doing a lot of entertaining there with them. Cool. I'm excited. I have never met them. Oh, you haven't?
