I had a good weekend. Coming up in just a few minutes, Hardy will be in studio. You may know Hardy from this song right here. And I mean, the guy's written like 10 number ones. Massive star. He's coming in. So we're going to do the mailbag to start the show,

since Hardy's going to be in the next couple segments. All right. It's a little bit early, but let's open the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all yet. It's something we call Bobby's Mailback, yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. So my neighbor's 17-year-old daughter is now a waitress at my family's favorite local Italian restaurant. We go there almost every Friday with kids right after school so we don't have to cook.

It's kind of a tradition. I think she must ask to wait on us because every week she's our waitress. And to be honest, she's not that good. Oh, no. She constantly forgets to bring out drinks and constantly gets the order wrong. Then we won't see her for like 30 minutes. And you know what? Same thing every single time.

The worst is at the end, I feel obligated to give her a giant tip, even though she doesn't deserve one. Do you think I'm obligated to give a big tip to a bad waitress just because I know her and her family? What would everyone else do in this situation? Signed Chelsea. Yes. Give her a good tip.

She might be like, oh, I know them, so I don't have to be as on for them. Oof. She might just be a bad waitress, too. That's what I think probably, I think she's just probably not very good at her job. She's 17. It's okay. She's learning.

17-year-olds aren't normally that good. But how do they learn? Not getting good tips. You know? She just, that that family can't be the one to not give her the good tips. I know. I agree. You need to make up for all the tips she's not getting.

I don't think it needs to be massive. But you do know them, so you are kind of, it is weird too if she's asking for them. That puts them. Doesn't sound like she is. Every time they go in. She's her waitress. Yeah, that's kind of weird. Well, yeah, but I mean, I would, I was a hostess.

I know it's not the same thing. Not at all. We used to get angry at you guys, but go ahead. Oh, trust me, I know. I got yelled at a lot. I didn't yell, but I'd be like, why did you seat them in that section? Yeah, I got to. You've already seated three tables over there, and I'm over here with nothing.

Yeah. Wow. I had a more, I was in a more hostile. Oh, because she's dating. Oh, I happen all the time. Really? Yeah. Anyway, if someone came in that I knew, I always tried to be the one to seat them. I mean, that's just fun.

So if I was waiting, of course I don't want to wait on them. Hey, those are my people. Let me wait on that table. And you can slowly peel back how big the tip is just by little by little each time. So it doesn't set that. But you do have to tip really well if they're a friend. General waiter rules. Lunchbox, you don't agree?

No, guys, you're giving everybody a participation trophy. You are there to do a job and earn that tip. If you're not doing a good job, the only way you're going to learn is if you give them a bad tip. and they'd be like, man, I really need to up my game to get a better tip. It's sort of like with kids, you don't reward them for bad behavior. You reward them for good behavior. She's not good at her job, so she doesn't get a big tip, period. Well, you're not giving her tip because of how good she has the job.

You're given to the tip because you're sitting at her table. Yeah. It's just different if you wait at tables and somebody comes in that you know you expect a bigger tip. So difficult situation, but I do think that expectation is there. And if you don't, she's going to tell her mom, and then you're going to be off the PTA. So there you have it. All right, that's the mailbag. Thank you, Chelsea.

We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about the clothes. Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. All right. Hardy is here with us right now. I mean, to have your life, you're writing hits. Last time I looked, it was 10 number ones.

Is that still accurate? Because I know you're about to have another one. Yeah. It's 10. Okay. Could you, I'm not going to ask you to, but could you name them all quickly? Yeah. Okay, well, here we go.

I am going to ask you. Come on. Okay. Let's hear your 10 number one songs go. Okay, up down, simple, I don't know about you. God's country, one big country song, some girls, more than my hometown, one beer, single Saturday night, sand in my boots. That's pretty good. That's pretty impressive.

Man, and what he just said there is worth lots of money. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Pretty cool. So I had Ernest over at the house. We were talking about you. And so you, in my mind, you earnest and more. Oregon run pretty tight. Is that?

Yes. How did that relationship come about? It was pretty organic. It really all happened through Big Loud, our record label. Ernest had written for Big Loud for forever. Morgan was a Big Loud artist. And I met them through FGL because before I was affiliated like professionally with Big Loud, I was out on the road with FGL for a long time riding.

And so there was a lot of Big Loud people in and out. Morgan was on tour with them. Ernest would be outriding, and it just kind of happened organically. We just started hanging out and realized we had a lot in common, and we loved writing songs, and it just sort of happened. Hardy scored his first number one as an artist with one beer. I'm going to play a clip of this song here. Here's one beer.

One beer turns into a cigarette burning into a two beer. Has the top five song right now with Dirks and Breeland called Beers on Me. Coincidence, two beers at the same time? Has that been brought up to you yet? No. It hasn't. Not till now. You're not the beer guy, though. They don't call you ink. I mean, they could. They definitely could, for sure. You won the songwriter of the year for 2022.

Yeah. That's pretty significant because you're also an artist. Yeah, it's pretty wild, man. Like, you're starting to blow up as an artist while you're still killing. Like, where do you have all the time to do this? I just, I try to make time and I write during the week. Like, we, you know, typically, summertime's a little bit different, but we tour, you know, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, I take Sunday off and sometimes Monday, and then I

try to write Tuesday and Wednesday and try to write on the road. It's just, I try to balance them both at the same time. It can be tough sometimes, but, you know, I give it everything I got.

He's got 10 number ones. He was a songwriter of the year in 2022. I mean, as an artist, he's on everything. Like, you're wildly and widely respected in this town. And I see you as a guy who's, you know, I mean, you got tattoos, you got the look. Like, it's hard to see Hardy the complete successful songwriter that people are dying to work with on a professional level. the artist that gets out there and just goes absolutely ham on stage. Like that's quite the juxtaposition there.

Do you feel like you're two different people? Definitely. I mean, you're, like, a lot of people have the philosophy of like your artist is like your, your, your artistry is your art, you know, and that's, so Hardy is, is in a lot of ways different than Michael Hardy. I feel like on stage, I'm a lot more animated, a lot less, uh, chill. it's just like a outlet for me to kind of get everything out. And, you know, as a songwriter, just a dude,

I feel like I'm still pretty normal, I guess. What do your friends call you? They call you Michael? Hardy. That's why I went with the artist's name. I have like one friend that calls me Michael and then like my fiance and like my family. But everybody, since like high school, most people have just called me Hardy. My favorite song of yours, and I don't know if you remember I messaged you a few days ago.

Yeah. He went to Jared. Yeah. And it's such a funny song, but it's also so catchy. And that line, he went to Ole Miss. I went to work. Yeah. Like anyone that grew up like me in a rural town.

Sure. Like, you just hate the guy that went to Ole Miss. I mean, it's like the rich kid. It was the privilege college for sure. And my fiancee went to Ole Miss. But I grew up a state fan. I moved here when I was 19, so I reluctantly didn't go to state. But I grew up to not be a fan of Ole Miss.

and so it was a nice opportunity for a little slam, for sure. So let me see if I remember the lyrics. I don't have him in front of me, but I've listened to that song so many times. He went to Ole Miss, I went to work, he's pushing paper, I'm pushing dirt, right? Yeah. Keep going. He's got a clean cut, driving him a clean truck. I'm just sitting here drinking beer with my jeans tucked. And then he went to Jared, you went to the bar.

Yeah, he went to Jared, I went to the bar. That song is, I'm going to play it in a second, but that's the song. Like of all, and you have your body of work and not just the things that you sing that's, and when I saw you perform that, it's my favorite performance. I mean, it was so good. Awesome, man. Was that ever been any talk about that one being on, you know, one of the big radio songs? Or is that beyond? That was on that record, the collab record, the first one I did called Hicks tape.

And one beer actually did come off of that record. And we ended up putting it on my record as well. But no, it was just fun. And it was like potent. It did well, like online and stuff like that. but we never really talked about going to radio with it. It's just a fun song to play live. And how did you get Morgan Wallin on it with you?

We're just buddies. And he was always a fan of that song. I think at one point he even said, like, I think I might cut this. And then before he cut again, before he started going back in the studio, I did. So I beat him to it,

and I said, well, why don't we just do it together? So I'm going to play it in a second. There's another thing that you guys do where you shotgun the beer, pop, boom. Is that legit? Yeah. Do you try to get better at it

as the tour goes. So, like, is it a competition? I'm probably about as good as I am ever going to get at it. I've been doing it a long time. Do you ever finish that and go, oh, I'm a little drunk? Like, because the whole night. I used to, but I feel like I've gotten in such a rhythm now. It's always, like, the same every night.

But there's been, there's definitely been times. Do you ever not want to do it? You're like, I know we have it in the set. That's what I was thinking. You're bloated and you just don't want to do it. I don't drink beer before the show because of that. and like it makes me burp and I don't want to like be in the middle of singing and just just rip one in front of everybody so but no it's and it's it's that's my last like performance

you know of the night and so it's a nice it's almost like a nightcap of like it's like a treat or reward you know the shotgun of beer and then you're done you can go do whatever you want you come up from the bottom of this underneath the stage out of nowhere there's hearty and he's going hard and you're like wow what is happening right now and the morgan it's just funny song, great song. And glad you're here. Give Evan some mail. We just played it, top 15.

You also have the song with Dirks and Breeland. That's top five. I mean, you're everywhere. That's all you ever wanted. I think so, man. Just happy to be along for the ride, man. Will you write a song today? Yeah.

I'll write a song. I'm going to write a song in like 20 minutes. You have an idea of what the song will be about. Can you give us a rough outline of what you're going to pitch in the room? I have a couple ideas. we have an idea that's kind of similar to a great day to be alive in the same vein that I think I might throw out today.

Not saying we'll write that. We might, everybody else might hate it, but it's a very similar, like, I'm a good old boy, and these are good things that are happening to me and they might not be important to everybody but they're important to me kind of idea. Called a great night not to be dead.

There you go. So close. Have that. Have that on me. Thanks. That's for you. At Hardy on Instagram. and I'm going to play this song now, even though it's old. On Hicks tape 1.

This is, he went to Jared, which I think is such a funny song. It's such a great song. And congratulations on everything, man. Thank you. There he is. Hardy, everybody. Nice show. Hey, Bobby here.

Yeah. I have never actually seen that, but on television, that's what happens. Well, these firefighters in New York were called to rescue a horse stuck in a pool. What? Crazy. Probably don't get that call a lot. Probably not. So firefighters in New York had to rescue a horse that fell into a resident's backyard pool

and then became entangled in the cover. So they got there with the police. The horse, and I'm not saying I would be so smart that I wouldn't do this. Try to walk on top of the cover because it looks like land. Makes sense. Yeah, okay, I get it now. I had so many questions, but now it's making sense. Well, let me answer them all for you.

Then he fell in. And so they worked, they got the horse. First, they had to untangle, and then they walked into the shallow, and they got it out of the pool. But that's a call, I bet they don't get off it. No. Man, now I want a horse in my backyard. That made you want a horse in your backyard?

I mean, I've always wanted a one. I mean, I guess, I don't know how big their backyard is. but is it's pretty big it can hold the horse All right That's what it's all about That was tell me something good Is this funny or not cool

There's a girl She calls herself the lipstick bandit And she does these little videos And she goes up to guys and bars And she like kisses the back of their shirt Without them knowing it No Lipstick on there

That's not cool So mean That is so wrong It is so wrong Yeah Tell you one time I was leaving a party And somebody sprayed perfume Oh, no.

And I'm not. Oh, Amy doesn't believe it. You don't believe me. Why would they do that? This is perfect. Who would do that? Why? Let me say this.

This is perfect. I went, wow, I cannot believe it. That is so mean. And Amy goes, that's not true. And that's what I worried about when I got home. It's like, is my wife going to think this is real or not. You wouldn't believe it? He starts to keep up the story on air.

Oh, come on. This was like 20 years ago. And I admire that about you. I admire that about you. No, it's crazy. That's hilarious. That's terrible. It's so different to that.

Yeah, but why would. someone do that for that exact reason? They were spraying everyone. Just like, I'm like, I'm gone my way home. Don't do that. The lipstick bandit. Why would she do that? Funny. He thinks it's funny.

Not funny. It's not funny. Nicholas Cage, the actor. What's his best movie? Face off. Oh, that's not it. Oh. National Treasure.

National Treasure. For sure. Con Air. Oh, good one. It's a good one. He bought a dinosaur skull and he spent like 300,000 bucks on it. But here he is, he had to donate it back because it was stolen. What?

And here he is talking about he still hasn't got his money back. There's the skull I bought at an auction, and I bought it legally. Here's the McGuffin. When the Magonian government said that they needed it back, I gave it to him, but I never got my money back. So somebody at the auction house should be in jail. What's McGuffin? What is a McGuffin? It kind of sounds like if Luke, Brian, was a bit older and a little drunker.

For sure. It sounds like Luke. It does. I heard just guffin. No, it's muck guffin. Oh. Well, Nick Cage bought a dinosaur skull for $300,000 bucks and then had to give it back.

Why do you owe the Mongolian government, by the way? What are they going to do? I think I sent a repo man? Might. They might have a dangerous one. And then finally, Arizona is going to offer the ability to put your driver's license on your phone, meaning if you have an Apple,

an iPhone, there's something called the wallet, and I use that, you know, to go on to events, tickets for games. And so, but you can put it on your phone and goes to the airport with just your phone. That's cool. Which seems cool. But people are worried, well,

what if they hack it? Well, if they hack the phone, they're going to get pictures of my ID anyway because I take my insurance cards. I don't like you're going to say something else. Well, that too. Who knows? Passport.

Yes, all of that. Vaccination. Yes. And so I admire the people in Arizona for trying this. I hope it is successful. Then it will be open to everyone. Also, iPhones are hard to hack

because there will be stories in the news where somebody commits a crime and dies or somebody has information and die. And it's on their iPhone. Cops can't even get in the iPhone. Like, they can't even hack it. They don't, they can't get the code. They gotta go to the Supreme Court.

So I hope this works. And good for Arizona. Two things we like. One, this, and then two, Arizona also. They have no daylight savings. That's right. And you know what? They're living life great.

Last I heard. They're doing great over there. They're actually best, best life I just read. Go on. Of all lives. Yes. Well, McGuffin is necessary to the plot. So it's either an object, device, or event.

and it normally serves as a trigger for the plot. I used to get those when I was a kid. It would be a real treasure to go to McDonald's in the morning and get one of those. That's a McMuffin. Oh, McMuffin. Oh, McMuffin. Since the beginning of time, we have known that bacon makes everything better, and a delicious Sonic cheeseburger is certainly no exception.

But what would happen if Sonic took everything people love about a decadent bacon burger experience and then doubled it? We're talking two perfectly seasoned beef patties, two times the melting American cheese and most importantly, double the bacon. And what if we topped it all off with a tangy smoke sauce? Set that big bacon flavor off just right. Well, this bacon lover's dream is now a bacon lover's dream come true.

And this guy has picked up on it, I guess. And so every time I go in, one of the workers at the grocery store gives me a free. item. Sometimes it's a protein bar, sometimes it's a chocolate cake, other times it's candy. I've

gotten three free items so far from this guy. Well, chocolate cakes are not like the rest. You got a chocolate cake? Yeah, like, it was in, life is a freezer section thing that you pop in the oven or whatever. And he's like, this is my favorite. Started a whole conversation about it and then made sure he gave it to me for free. Is he a manager? No. He's also, when I was standing in line to check out, he purposely came and switched the other guy out so that he would be there checking me out. Okay, yeah, for sure. Up until then, up until then, I was like, maybe he does, maybe he doesn't. That, he's in love with you.

Wow. Yeah, I mean, I feel like are we, is he going to lose his job? He can't be doing this. I think there's an important question. How old is this guy? I don't know. He wears hats often, so I can't really tell on age, but he does look like he's probably in his 30s, roughly. So he gives you free stuff, which strikes up conversation when you're going to,

Going through the line, has he ever at all flirted or made any sort of move? No, he's never like outward done that. He told me about his day and the hobby that he's gotten into, which was like an extensive conversation with a cashier person. Yeah, what was a hobby? Gardening. He was really excited to tell me about his gardening that he got into. Yeah.

But that was unprompted. He was like, how's your day? I got into this and just wanted to talk to me while this, I have like five items to check out. Has he messaged you on Instagram and your general or anything? Not that I'm aware of, no. Okay, he's in love with you. Right, everybody?

For sure. Yeah. Do you still have a boyfriend? Yes, I do. Okay. Has he seen him? Yes, he's been in the store with me, but like, we'll buy things separately, so sometimes you won't see us together.

And my boyfriend's like, it's fine. You can just buy my groceries next time. This is what's going to happen. I like, I like, hey, just go through it by yourself. Maybe we get another free cake today. What were you going to say? Okay, so either he's giving the, handing it out for free and, like, should it be, or he's super sweet and I mean he's covering the bill

like he knows he gave away the chocolate cake and so he covers like maybe they have they can do that where they pay the $5 to make sure it's paid for. Yeah but both are love. I know but I'm just making sure I just worry about if he's doing something shading and he's going to end up getting fired because of Morgan. But we don't even know the guy. We don't even know the grocery store. Why are you worried about him? Yeah.

Would you date this guy if you didn't have a boyfriend? I don't think so I mean he's cute but not really my type. Okay so he must not be like a creepy stalker type. No he doesn't act like that at all. So, final question, if, for some reason, you and your boyfriend

break up, would you then consider the grocery store guy? I don't think so. He's so sweet, though. He gives you chocolate cake. He does. You can garden together. You know, like, how long can I let this go on for? Do I keep just letting him give me free stuff? That's a good question, too. What does Morgan say anything? I don't know. I don't.

Why would you say something? You're getting free stuff. Because eventually it's going to get awkward. Well, eventually he's going to have to make some sort of move. Yes. And then that's when the free stuff stops Whenever you're like, oh, I have a boyfriend And that's when his heart breaks and he goes to depression That's when all that stuff happens

And then he follows her car That's going to happen naturally though, right? That's going to happen naturally that whole process At some point he's going to be like, all right, I'm just going to do it You want to go on a date with me and she's going to say no And he's obsessing about it every night And not in like he's going to stab you kind of way But he's like, oh, I really would like to work up to courage

We don't know that But he probably He can't find you on Instagram Well I guess you don't post your boyfriend on Instagram really. I don't. And I, well, what's crazy, though, is I also don't go in there like dolled up. I'm like going in after I worked out. I'm like, sometimes I go in there without makeup. I don't know that this man actually knows who or anything about me because I go in there so different every time. Like sometimes I've walked in there with full on makeup and he's never

talked to me. So I don't know. My advice, keep accepting the free stuff, but just know one day it's going to get awkward and it's like, hey, do you, and I would just be prepared and be like, oh, and have some nice answer to let them down easy. Okay. Can I just, like, you know, I'm sorry I have a boyfriend. You're super sweet, though. Like, what's the best way to let him down? Yeah, that's a tough one. I would probably say like, hey, buddy, thanks for the free stuff.

And maybe there's a chance later if you can give me free stuff. Oh, wow. But right now I have a boyfriend. Stop. But yeah, it's going to get awkward. You can make it awkward earlier by going, hey, I can't take that stuff because I have a boyfriend. And then he goes, I'll just give it to you because it's part of the art sale today. Then you feel awkward.

I'm not going to do that. I can't. I'm so bad. about being awkward, so I'm not doing that. Okay, prediction. This is how we're going to wrap this up. A prediction game. The next time Morgan goes in, if he gives her something, what will it be?

Everybody want to put a dollar in? Sure. And if somebody gets it right? We got to be specific, though, right? Like a specific item? Okay, I'll go ahead of lettuce. Okay. That's, you lost. You've lost it. Hey, you don't know. Amy? Boxed cereal.

Ooh, it's good. Eddie? Um, paper product. What? Not just paper product? What? Like a what? Like a paper towel? Let's go with paper towels. Okay.

Too much. Too big. Lunchbox? It's easy, guys. It's a bell pepper. She likes green bell peppers. He's a bell peppers. He's a bell.

That's so good. That's so good. Okay. Let us know next time you go in. I will. And we'll check back up. And I'll collect my cash when you get the head of lettuce though. A lettuce.

If you want to save something, write it on the computer or your phone. But if you want to remember something, write it with your hand, which I've been doing because I guess I just naturally found out that's what worked for me. If I type something to my computer, I'm like, all right, let me remember this. Or my phone.

In today, out tomorrow. It's like putting a phone number on my phone. I don't remember that stuff. But if I do write it down with my hand, for some reason, that sticks. And so now science says that the fact that you're putting attention into every single letter in the shape of each letter kind of burns it into your brain. Yeah, I can see that because typing is just sort of like sometimes when you're driving. You get to a location and you don't even know how you got there. And like sometimes I type paragraphs.

No, but I compare the same. Like I'll type a bunch of stuff and it's like I don't even know how I typed it. My brain just didn't.

No. Okay, well, these are... I think I know what it is, but I don't... These are files or folders that you make just in case you go missing and help people solve the case. With real paper? Yeah. I mean, no, you put lots of stuff. You put all your information, what you look like, your fingerprints, medical info, types of transportation, relationships.

I should probably get a fire extinguisher first in the kitchen, just in general. Oh, like to start with? Yeah. If I'm being proactive about things, there are other things I should. I'll probably get to before that. No, this comes from the crime junkie podcast and they created. This PDF, you can fill out all of your information, so they've kind of done the work for you and you fill it out. And this could help find you if you go missing, which by the way, 543,000 people were reported missing in 2020.

I need batteries too. I don't have any batteries around the house. How does this help you if you go missing? If I go missing, I have hidden. And I also, if I make a file, it's to throw you off my scent. I'll put the opposite stuff in it. You don't want to be found. I'll put them near the batteries and the fire extinguisher.

Okay. Something to consider with this type of info all being in one place is someone could easily steal your identity if they find this folder or file. So, store it in a safety deposit box or keep it with a lawyer or something like that. A lot easier. Okay. Okay. So, Bobby, you're probably someone that brushes off small talk if I had to guess. Oh, I cannot. I don't like hang nails, mayonnaise, or small talk? So I read an article that said small talk actually conversational. that last around five minutes or more is actually a really good exchange, like meaningful information

has passed back and forth that helps build a relationship. You can ask questions. You seem engaged. But it's not a long, drawn-out type conversation, but it can be meaningful to people in your lives. Small talk has to be a means to get somewhere else, or I will not take part in it. I don't, I hate it. And at times, I can seem cold because of that, because I got two ways. I'm either cold or extremely warm. I don't like small talk. I don't like talk for no reason. I'm going to be like, what's up? Hey, nice, cute weather, huh? Okay. Well, this article says, stop doing that to your co-workers in the hallway. Have a meaningful exchange. No, no exchanges. Okay. If you have about a million dollars, you could be the next owner of the house that Taylor Swift lived in her entire childhood.

I was reading a story that people don't really buy houses just because somebody famous lived there, like if there's something cool about it, like the full house house in San Francisco. Yeah. That's a really expensive house anyway in a really expensive part of town. It marketed itself, but no one really pays extra for where celebrities live. The Michael Jordan House cannot sell in Chicago. Really?

It's been on the market since like 2006. Because people take pictures? It's just massive. And he keeps lowering it millions and millions of dollars and they cannot sell it. People are like, why not? It's Michael Jordan's house. It's got a big number 23 on the gate. It's like, people aren't going to spend it.

that kind of money just be where a celebrity is. And I'm assuming this Taylor House is like an older house. Yeah, it's a colonial home in Pennsylvania, five bedroom, four baths. Now this is before she got, you know, Taylor Swift's status. But her parents were wealthy. Yeah, she had rich parents. It was like, it'd be a nice house. Yeah. The current owner had no idea that Taylor Swift had lived there before he moved into the house. But anyway, he soon figured it out because lots of people take pictures and different things. A million dollars. Oh, that's what it is. Yeah. Just straight up a million bucks. I thought you're like if you have an extra million you can afford the down payment.

Here we go. The Michael Jordan House was originally listed for $29 million. It has every bell and whistle you can think of. Some of the overimprovements are a pool with a grass island in the middle. A door from the Playboy Mansion, a table based on the streets of Baghdad and MGA branded golf flags, but they keep lowering it and nobody will buy it. I'm not interested. If they get at like $30,000, I'll jump back.

Yeah, me too. I'm there. I'll mow the grass in the middle of the pool. All right, Amy. 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 there's this grandmother. She's been going to St. Mary's Church for years. She got married there. She witnessed her daughter's wedding there. Very special place to her. So when she heard they were going to knock it down, she was devastated. Well, her daughter and her granddaughter, they were able to get a pew from the church and restore it and give it to her so she can have it forever.

That's super cool. Here's the clip of her. Oh, Mary. You know where that? That's awesome. Clearly an emotional gift, but super special. It's made me emotional. There you go.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. This is the end of part one. To listen to part two of the Bobby Bones Show podcast, go to part two now.
