Morning. Kind of a heavy day. I'm going to make the whole day heavy, obviously. We'll try to find that balance. But, man, you come in today on a Monday after so much has happened from the weekend, the hurricane, which we still really don't know what happened as far as what's going to happen and what's needed and how bad it really was and where it really hit. Like, I'm like you guys. I watched it all weekend. And so the hurricane happened.

Today is 16 years since 9-11. It is September 11th. Troy from Montgomery Gentry died in a helicopter crash as soon as we got off the air on Friday. And so Don Williams died. And so... It's a lot. You know, you come in and it's like, man, I've got a lot to talk about. And we, on this show, we come.

in and every day, and we're not successful every day at it, but we come in and we try to bring as much positivity as possible to the show. But we still are real human beings and we still have thoughts about things when they don't go right. So we're going to balance it. Like we're, we have to talk about all this stuff because we would in normal life. But man, some of it just sucks. Like really, it just sucks. And just so you know, that that'll be our fine line of of balancing. I can still, I'll just start with Hurricane Irma. This story, it has passed to me because a lot of the Irma stuff is happening. And I'm not sure even what stations were on in Florida, because I know if I were on a station

and it were really bad, I'd probably just put the news on. And at some places where they thought it was going to be bad, it ended up not being as bad. At some places where they didn't, it ended up being worse, because I think we all watched it shift together. Hurricane Irma weakens, but is still a threat as it spins north with wind and rain. It is now a category one storm early Monday as it roared through southwest Florida. A lot of customers without power. Now, I will say this, that as I read the story today, I saw no American fatalities. And somebody can step in and tell me if they saw different, but I saw no American fatalities.

Anybody? I haven't seen any. What's that, Mike? No. Oh, there's one in a car. Mike just said there is a single car accident related to the storm. No details. So that's first time I've seen that, but you know, a couple things. One, they, what up? I see three. In America?

Yep. As it crashed into the Florida Keys, U.S. death total reaches three. Well, I guess these, again, the latest developments, I think that things will change as we even move along the show. Recognizing people doing cool things. It's ICU. A 10-year-old boy named Jacob O'Connor helped save his baby brother's life by giving him CPR that he learned by watching The Rock in the movie San Andreas. Oh. Jacob O'Connor saw his baby brother's shoe floating in the pool.

Then he saw the 2-year-old floating in the water. He jumped in, reenacted what he saw in San Andreas by the rock. It was CPR. and it worked, the baby was like spit up the water or they took him to the hospital. It was fine. That. Maybe the only positive thing about San Andreas the movie I've ever heard was that.

It's got to make the people that made that movie feel really good. It's the one thing they got from it. There it is. I see you. The Bobby Bone Show. Big Three Stories. It's producer Raymond Hurricane Irma hit Florida over the weekend. It's still a dangerous storm working its way up through Florida.

And then that wind and rain is going to be headed for Georgia. The Florida Keys could get 20 inches of rain by the time it's all said and done. Most of Florida in the path of this thing is going to get 8 to 12 inches. And power companies are saying it may take two weeks to get power restored. To help out, just go to red cross.org. And we got off the year on Friday, and I saw that Troy was in a helicopter crash from Montgomery Gentry. I was like, what? Now, I don't know how much about airplanes.

I don't even less about helicopters. Maybe I know your husband's a pilot Have you talked to him about the helicopter crash? Yeah He just helicopters in general Helicopters in general He's not a fan of at all Like and he's a pilot

Loves to be in the air more than anything He just doesn't like the physics Of a helicopter Because once you lose control As you can't really do anything To glide yourself down Or if something goes wrong like in an airplane.

So my husband's case, he has been an airplane where he's lost the propeller and it turned into a glider instantly. And he was sort of like a bird and he was able to safely land on water. And then a Black Hawk helicopter had to pick him up from the water. And I asked him the scariest moment of the day. I'm like,

and it wasn't the crash into the water. It was when he had to get into the helicopter to fly away. He just does not like being in them at all. But I know other people that love helicopters and they love flying them and it's no problem. So it's just, I don't know.

Well, here's Dan and Shea. This is after Troy passed away and people were doing a lot of different, I don't even know what you would call it because it was so fresh, but them just playing some of Montgomery Gentry's music online. That's something to be proud of. That's a life you can hang your hat on. As your chins held high as the tears fall down, Guts sucked in

Chest took out Like a small town flag of flying Or a newborn baby crying In the yard that you love That's something to be proud of That's something to be proud of Nothing to be proud Oh man

It sucks man Another way to put it There were mechanical issues To bones on this is a baby bones show Time for your positivity. Tell me something good is the name of the segment here on Monday. Let's go. Amy, tell me something good.

There's a guy on the Chicago Police Department Force, and he started to feel like something just wasn't right with him. So he went in, and sure enough, his kidneys were failing. And now he's receiving a new kidney from his son. His son, Daniel, stepped forward. He was a match. And if his son hadn't offered his kidney, he would be on a long way. list, the national waiting list is 100,000 deep.

And it takes on average five years for there to be a match. But because his son went and got tested and is willing to do it, boom, he can have the life-saving surgery as quickly as possible. Like, I would expect my son to go do it, right? To go test? Yeah, absolutely. You shouldn't even have to be a match, right? Yeah, like, I get it.

But I'm saying, like, I would expect, and if he did not be ticked. What about your spouse? I mean, just think of all the people in your life. All those people, you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know the weight left was that long.

I know. That's crazy. So this is just an encouraging story to, you know, if you feel led to go do that, go get tested. See if you can be a donor. Lunch bikes. Lonnie Wimmers is a firefighter in North Carolina. He stops at the diner and he's like, I'm going to grab me some dinner. He's eating some dinner.

And he's like, man, a lot of these people are looking sick and a few of them are going to the bathroom quite a bit. He's like, and what was it? He noticed carbon monoxide in the. air because he's a firefighter. He noticed the symptoms, got everybody out of the restaurant, and saved 32 people's lives. That's amazing. Woo! What up, Lonnie? That's the way to be on your P's and Q's even when you're off duty. Like a dog, man. Yeah, sniffed it out. That's crazy. How about this one? Her car was barely drivable because she hit a deer and she'd covered up her windows. We've all been there with cardboard or plastic. I think we've all been there.

Yes. At some point. And so she's working at Cracker Barrel. And at work, she got a $20 tip, which is a big deal. These semi-regulars were there. And so she was talking to them, and they asked about her car, and she told them. And they said, okay, and they replaced her car with a 2008 Ford Fusion. Wow. They just gave her a new car. Amazing.

Like, not a new car to her that was fully functional running. Yeah, totally. They were like, hey, we saw your car, and we have an extra car. We'd like to give you this 2008 Ford Fusion. Where was that at? Why? I was going to see if Eddie wanted to stop by. Oh, okay.

Oh, boy. Thanks. All right. He'll be here all week. Tell your friends. Bobby Bonesh. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 30 Second Skinny. Kenny Chesney's house on St. John in the Virgin Islands has been destroyed by Hurricane Irma. He wasn't there, but 20 people and 10 dogs were, and they hunkered inside, and they survived by crowding in a closet.

Kenny is planning a charity concert and has already set up a foundation called Love for the City to help out. So that movie It broke box office records this weekend with $117.2 million. The Reese Witherspoon movie Home Again was a distant second with only $9 million. I'm Amy, that's your 30 seconds getting. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Illinois.

Two friends were having an argument at how strong a tree was. And the guy said, I can knock that tree over with a car. And he goes, there is no way that tree is too strong. Stop it. So he got in his car and kept ramming the tree trying to knock it over. Destroyed his car, tree still standing. So he lost. Oh, my goodness.

What's wrong with people? They're boneheads. Yeah, I know. Oh, I'm Lushbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. The Bobby Bonds show. 16 years ago, the worst terrorist act on American soil happened. Today, September 11th, just a few things.

A guide dog let her owner and third. 30 other people down 1,463 steps out of the World Trade Center because they couldn't see through the debris. Once safe, the dog then helped a woman who was blinded by the debris. Family guy creator, Seth McFarland, was supposed to be on a flight, but he was 10 minutes late and wasn't able to get on the flight. And that's just a couple of the stories. He's famous so that story gets out there.

I mean, how about that? Like, I bet you there's some guilt involved inside your own heart. Like, wow. It probably, like, it was them, but it wasn't me. Mm-hmm. Have you all ever had anything like that happen? I mean, obviously not 9-11, but just anything in life where you're supposed to be somewhere where something went terribly wrong?

No. Yeah. Have you? No, not me, but my husband. And he, there is extreme guilt. It's real. What, oh, the plane crash? Yeah, there was a, he was his unit and.

England. I mean, there was a plane full of seven dudes and his unit was pretty small. Only like 70 people. So seven guys, that's a lot. And he was supposed to be on that flight. But he got in from a different flight too late and you have to have a certain amount of hours of rest in between. So he got pulled off and he wasn't one of the pilots. And he, to this day, like, carries a lot of guilt because a lot of the guys on there, he was single at the time. A lot of the other guys had families and they crashed, right? They crashed into a mountain. Yeah, in Albany. and he also feels as though like for one it should have been him because he was single and those other guys had families but for two he's just like I just know maybe there was something I could have done not that those other guys weren't equipped to do it but just carries that guilt of like I wish I could have been there to help him and make a different decision or something. The names of the 9-11 Memorial are arranged by relationship instead of alphabetically in order to preserve the bonds of family and friendship and to show the connections between people who changed each other's lives that day.

The only plane allowed to fly on 9-11 after the attacks was a plane from San Diego to Miami delivering anti-venom to a man who was bitten by a poisonous snake and that one plane was accompanied the entire time by two jet fighters. Oh my gosh. I didn't know that. So to I mean to come on the air even 16 years later it still feels just fresh right?

Like once you're reminded of it, it just puts you right back into that spot where you were when it happened, which is nuts. Like I remember exactly, I was in college and they were like, hey, you should probably go over the student union. Something happened. And I remember walking over and there's just a few of us. And the first plane flew into the first building. We were like, wow, what's happening here in the second plane? And then you saw layers. I mean, it was like 200 people standing in the corner all steering of this TV in the student union.

just confused. It took us a while to be pissed off. But for a while, we were just confused as to what in the world was happening. And so, today is 16 years since the planes flew into the World Trade Center and flew into D.C. as well. And flew down into Pennsylvania. You know, watching a lot of hurricane coverage over the weekend. It's crazy how, I mean, you can't predict a storm, but they thought Miami was going to be right in the eye. And it just went around the state, basically, and then hit the other side of it.

And then people were getting upset. They were like, hey, we're in Miami and we're just getting. Like, you can't get upset at a storm. You can't even get upset at the news for trying to predict. Now, at times, do they kind of over-dramatized things for ratings? That's all the time with every story ever. Man, people are getting so upset like, man, the weatherman can't even predict a hurricane. Are you kidding me?

Nobody can predict a hurricane. And secondly, do you think they want to miss? And so it was supposed to hit the right side. It curled around. And as we know, kind of hit that left side of Florida. We're not going to really know what needs help until probably after today, right? Like, it's going to take some time. I think so, yeah.

So stories have been coming out. Here's a Florida woman who delivered her own baby because the paramedics couldn't get there. Now we kept hearing like the mayors and governors go, once this storm hits, we can't save you because we're not going to put our first responders at risk. And that I completely understood. Like you can't put those guys in harm's way,

especially when you've given people, hey, heads up, you got to go. The Miami Herald reported that a dispatcher talked to women through delivering her own baby Sunday morning because paramedics were unable to go into the storm. So she's on the phone and she's like, okay, do this, do this. And the woman has her own baby. And then cuts cord, the whole thing. Crazy.

There was a gator park and when they showed the picture of the 2,000 alligators. Oh my goodness, yes. And they were like, we promise none of them going to escape. I was like, promise scromis, man. 2,000 alligators were hunkered down at Gatorland Wildlife Reserve. Now, this is in Orlando, so it's up a bit. And they're like, don't worry, we got this. You know, I just know I'm going to be on the lookout like crazy if I'm in that area.

And I'm going to be watching the news. And, man, they sure were for sure about how none of them are going to escape. Do you guys see that picture of all the gators? It's so crazy. Yeah, that crazy. I was like, that's like a horror movie. That's worse than it. Like, that picture was worse than any preview for any clown movie.

So to our listeners that are listening right now in Florida or anywhere else, you know, with Houston, Florida, we work with the Red Cross whenever there's disaster relief, especially on the front end of things, whenever we really don't know what's going to happen. So we've taken if at this point now you want to grab a Pimp and Joy shirt or sweatshirt, it will go toward the Red Cross at Irma. we don't know what needs help yet. And we always go Red Cross before we know because they're the best at disaster relief.

Other organizations are better at other things. But like getting in quick, they're the best major organization that we trust is the Red Cross. So that's up at Bobbybones.com. This is a Bobby Bones show. Bobby Bones. Today's the 16th anniversary, 9-11.

And I talked earlier about what I remember about that day. But again, the youngest person on our show is Morgan number two. She's 23. So that would mean, I mean, you were seven years old. Morgan number two, do you remember 9-11 happening? Yeah, I do. I was actually at my elementary school, I believe, is what it was. And we were in the library and we watched it happen. They pulled us all out of class. Did they put you all together, like all grades or just all the same grade? I don't know how big your school was. Yeah, they put us like everybody from every class gathered into our library. Our library was pretty big. And we sat there and we watched and they waited for our parents to come get us.

Like they ended the school day and we all just waited in the library until our parents could come. Yeah, they cut our school off. Again, I was a freshman in college? No. Whatever a year it was in college, they cut us off too. And then we didn't go to school for a couple of days. Amy, what about you? I was at Texas A&M and I hadn't made it. Before I got to campus, I found out. I found out about it and ended up going over to my boyfriend's house and we all sat on the couch and just watched it on TV unfold. And then campus was completely shut down. Lunchbox?

I was a sophomore in college and I was asleep and I woke up to the home phone ringing and it was my roommate's girlfriend Alicia and she was like, hey, have you seen the news? What's going on? I was like, no. She goes, you need to get in front of a TV right now. And my two roommates were already gone to class. So I got up and got in front of the TV and sat on the couch and watch the news coverage.

Doesn't it feel still so vivid? Like you can still remember it? And it was 16 years ago, and I feel like I remember it like it was two years ago, like six months ago. Like, I remember every little detail about the first couple of days. And then it just got to be such a blur because you didn't know what was really happening. And the news was nonstop, and it was

it just felt like it was such a sad like depressing six months and nobody would you couldn't laugh and you weren't supposed to laugh but you didn't know it was just a confusing time

because you didn't know why it happened we had never seen anything like it in our lifetime I just remember being so confused by the whole thing again confusion before anger and then patriotism like crazy and it's weird how it takes a disaster

to really bring people together and you go back to the hurricane Harvey Irma and like not a lot of politics being fought about whenever people are in trouble I mean you guys notice that? Yeah. It's weird sucks.

That's what it takes to have to get people to stop hating each other that it takes, you know, travesty to make people go you know, maybe we should focus on each other. I was watching the Irma footage, I guess I have for the last three days. And just looking at some of the things here, it was a category five for three days. Now, these are just some of the facts, because when it hit the United States, it wasn't a five. But no other hurricanes ever sustained that much power for that long ever.

I think right now it's down to a category one because it's been on land and a lot of the power's been sucked out of it. It was almost 400 miles wide. It's crazy. 6.3 million people had to evacuate Florida. It will probably be the largest evacuation in United States history. They're saying it's going to be $120 billion in damage. And you know what's weird is that what kind of stinks for Houston is a lot of the attention was taken off of that Gulf area where they still need a lot of help. And listen, you can't time natural disasters.

and you help out when you can help out and who you help out. But, like, here they are struggling and everyone was focused on trying to rebuild it and bam, it hits somewhere else. So, do you see JJ White come out of the Texans game yesterday, by the way? That was awesome. Yeah, I mean, when he started,

hey, let's raise some money, and then by the end of it, I think it was over $25 million or something he had raised. Crazy. And that place was electric. when he was introduced. It kind of would have been cool if they had won the game, just thinking from if I'm watching it as a movie,

if the Texas would have won, they didn't win. They got to be by the Jaguars. Right? They played Jaguars? Yeah. Our buddy Matt Overton plays for the Jaguars. And they're staying in, I mean,

in how worlds changed in just a split second. They're staying in Houston because they can't get back to Florida because of the hurricane. Where Houston just had the hurricane. Yeah, it's crazy. A lot of things happening here. That's all. I want to come back. I want to play you. We got to do some light stuff today too. Between 9-11, the anniversary of that and the hurricane

and a couple big passages of country music with Troy from Montgomery Gentry and Don Williams. Because all that stuff we have to talk about because it's, I say have to. Like, if I don't, I just would feel like my heart didn't do what it was supposed to do today. I'm going to talk as a human here, and not, I'm not going to worry about saying the wrong thing for a second. But I'm watching the news. Whenever the headline is, millions waking up without power as Hurricane Irma belts Florida, there could be a lot worse headlines. And listen, we don't know what's going to happen.

But if that's the headline right now that they want people to click into, I'm just glad it's not people dead Like 50 people dead 500 people trapped Do you guys feel the same way Or am I Do I read that and just I don't know

I think you're right Because it could be much worse Just being without power Is probably the most positive thing You can write And I'm sure they feel the exact same way Like at least right now I'm just without power

But I have my life And before I said that I was like man This make them off was completely insensitive, but whenever the headline is millions without power, and it stinks out of power, but man, it just could have been so much worse, and it still might get worse. I'll move off the armist stuff for a bit. I was on Twitter, and sometimes I get notifications that people are following me that are, like, also famous. I had two weird people follow me yesterday.

And anytime anybody follows me, I feel like they're about to launch a country career or try to, quote, launch a country career. And the two that follow me were, one, Chris Kirk, Patrick from InSync. Oh, hey. Do we know what that's about? No, is he going country? I don't know. Or if he just thinks I'm a good follow on Twitter.

Or Uncle Cracker followed me as well. And so he was, you know, follow me. Everything is all right. It's good. And he did a song with Kenny Chesney. When the sun goes down, we'll be. You know that song? So he actually could do country music.

Uncle Cracker opened for the raging idiots last year. Yeah, we brought him out. So it's always weird when people follow me. And when they're not following 300,000 people. Because they only fall like a couple hundred people. So we'll wait and see if they decide that they're going to go country. But you heard it here first. Chris Kirkpatrick, going country from Insink.

That just is not going to work. Why? That would never work. Okay. Irma is currently category 1, 75 miles per wins. Just had this handed to me. The eye of the storm is north of Tampa right now. it will move over Florida's peninsula

and the storm surge is expected. Do you know what's happening that was weird on social media? People were taking videos of past disasters and putting it up and going wow, check out Florida. But it would be like a tsunami

somewhere just so they could get retweets. Oh no. Did you guys notice that? At one point, even the guy that runs social media for the White House posted, look at the Miami airport, all the planes are underwater. And the Miami airport had a tweeter bag goes, dude, that's not our airport. Like, stop putting fake stuff out there.

Yeah. The Miami airport is closed, though, because they sustained a lot of water damage so they don't know when they're going to be able to reopen. But yes, that picture was, the guy fell for it. Yeah, it was total fake. I was, and I posted an image last night of all the airplanes that were all over the United States and just nonstop airplanes, except for over Florida where not one plane plane was flying over Florida. It was complete, you can go to my Twitter and Mr. Bobby Bones, completely empty.

Not one plane was flying over Florida. which was kind of weird. I flew yesterday. I flew Nashville to California, where I am now. And I thought we were going to be delayed hours and hours. But I guess they got through that and finished all the airline discombobulation. We'll talk about Don Williams in just a second. And of everyone, I was most surprised that Amy came and was like, wow, Don Williams.

And we'll talk about that coming up. Let's do the skinny first. Here we go. Bob it boncham. Here we go. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny. Well, congrats to Dustin Lynch.

He is celebrating a new number one song. Small Town Boy reached the top of the charts over the weekend. And Old Dominion's No Such Thing is a Broken Heart. Went to number two, while John Parties, Hardache on the Dance Floor held at number three. Yeah, that'll be the number one song this week. Oh, it's the jam. It's a jam. It should be number one for a couple weeks.

and if radio had half a brain, they would leave it there and stop ruining the format but making songs go away so fast. We're running our own format. Radio's ruining its own format. It's terrible. I mean, but do you really think it'll stay there for more than one week? It could for two, but some of these songs are so good

and it's just a terrible system where they go, okay, number one, next. We don't have time to love songs and leave them at number one for a while. Anyway, whatever. Who cares about my stupid inside baseball radio talk? What else? Yeah, congrats to Dustin Lynch. So did you see, like, John Mayer and Nikki Minaj, like, flirting it out on Twitter, sort of?

Yeah, sort of. I thought that was funny, but... Do you really think he's into her? He just kind of put out a tweet wondering if Nikki Minaj, like, ever, you know, thought about him or anything like that. And she replied, would my body be your wonderland asking for a friend? Terrible reply. It only took her 30 minutes to reply. It was retweeted over 15,000 times.

So obviously it got to her. And then he replied that, you know, obviously, and again, bad words, I can't say. But he was basically losing his mind that she replied. And I haven't heard an update since. Yeah, I really don't care. Could be the next hot couple, John Mayer and Nikki Minaj. I have zero interest in that. Oh, my husband is like a big Nikki Minaj fan.

It's weird. Yeah, again. No interest. Yep. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds. Skinny. Well, talk about Don Williams for a second.

Don Williams passed away on Friday. And for me, like, I'm a huge classic country guy. Like, my love of country music is like 50s through 70s, a little bit of early 80s, 90s. I checked out during the 2000s because I was like, eh, it's not

really my thing. And then I came back. But for a while, my grandma raised me. My grandma made me listen to country music and I was tiny, which made me love it. I listened on the radio until I was about 16 or 17. And then I The sound kind of wasn't it for me. Listen, when we first came over and started doing the show,

I was like, man, what's happening with this format? It's like all songs. You know, everybody knows. Yeah. It didn't feel like it was very authentic. I like where the sound's going now, I think we're actually going in a pretty good direction with most of the stuff. But so Don Williams died, right?

And I was like, wow. And even Don Williams is older. But Amy's the one who was like, I used to listen to Don Williams all the time. I was so surprised by then. I know. I was surprised too. Me too, me too.

Because it wasn't registering with me until he passed away. And then I started, you know, stuff was being posted on Twitter and I started listening to some of the songs. And I was like, oh my goodness. Like instantly I was taken back to my living room in the house we grew up in

and I could see the cassette tape. I mean, I really could only, my sister and I talked about, I really could only see three cassette tapes. Crystal Gale, Kenny Rogers, and Don Williams. And that song, Oh, no.

I hope this day is good. Yeah. Like I don't have many memories with music and songs because my parents just weren't like how you were with your grandma, Bobby. But this is a song where I hear it and I'm instantly in my living room. We had four screen carpet.

Yeah, turn it out. This is a great song too. But Lord I hope this is good. There's a cool video Keith that Urban posted afterward of those two playing this song together. That's cool. Yeah, it was really good. Here is Old Dominion doing Tulsa Time,

one of his biggest songs. Jake Owen doing a performance of good old boys like me from Don Williams. Now I can still hear the soft southern wings in the live oak trees. Those Williams boys, they still mean a lot to me. Hank in Tennessee. This we're all going to be what we're going to be. Rest and peace, Don Williams. Bobby Bones, everybody.

Transmitting across America. This is a Bobby Boll show. Now time for our joke and Amy with the Morning Corny. Morning Corny. What did they give the guy that invented the door knocker? What do they give the guy that invented the door knocker? The No, Bell. I mean, I'm pretty good.

Maybe I was just way early in the morning over here where I am. What? That's very good. It's awesome. Thank you. That was the morning corny. Just a little anecdote about the morning corny in this segment we started to do. And who knows how long it'll last, but I was talking to our boss.

And he was like, hey, that morning corny. How's that going? And I was like, I think it's pretty good. People like it. Like people repeat it goes, huh. He goes, I don't know about that segment. I don't know if it's any good or not.

Oh. And I was like, I think people like the morning corny because no one really expects much of it. You know, it's kind of like a baloney sandwich. Like, you know a baloney sandwich isn't going to be fantastic. But it's filling. It does the job. Like, it gives you everything you ask for. and then you move on with your day.

Yeah. And he was like, I don't know. What do you guys think about the morning, corny? You're out of the room. I love it. Okay, of course you do. Oh. Eddie?

I love it. Brings the nice little funny joke to the morning. Makes me laugh half the time. I like it. And usually it's just a quick pop and we move away. It's not like we spend five minutes on it. Lunchbox? I think it's good when we pass it around and I get to do it sometimes.

When she messes up, it gets passed around. Right, that's what I'm saying. So I think we need to be a little bit harsher on the critiquing because. Okay. I mean, just saying some of them haven't been funny, but we still let her slide a little bit. Shoot, the bosses aren't liking it. You can let us know on Twitter, Mr. Bobby Bones. There's a story about a baseball game, and Miami went to Atlanta to play baseball.

And over the top of the PA system, they were playing Rock You Like a Hurricane. Did you guys see this? Oh, yeah. This was bad. Here, hit the club of that song. So, they played every game, oversight. A bonehead move They shouldn't have played it

But there was nothing malicious there Can we all agree on that? Yes Like someone didn't sit in the booth and go I'm really gonna show these fans From Miami that we're gonna rock them like a hurricane That could devastate their state So a Braves official apologize

Said it should have been pulled It was not played again I hope nobody gets in trouble Nobody got hurt But man sometimes stories like this go viral and this was just an accident and nobody got hurt

that's the key to that I was also reading about how they're like hey everybody you need to leave you need to get out of town and I'm glad that all the people evacuated but there are sometimes all I get thinking is sometimes you can't leave

for example if you don't have money and you don't you can't afford a hotel room or you don't have family I was talking about this on FaceTime like Facebook Live the other night if they told us me growing up in Arkansas

and we wouldn't have a hurricane but there's something coming, a tornado but they're quicker. You have to get out of town. We had nowhere to go. We had no money to get there. So I felt bad for those people. Also old people,

or if they have a disability, some people can't get out. Some people didn't leave because they were fear that their house was going to be looted. So that was the thing. And then some people

because they don't want to leave their pets behind and they can't put their pets anywhere. I saw one picture of a woman who had taken a bunch of roosters. Do you see that? Yes, crazy. And because she didn't want them fighting in the back, she had to wrap them all up in newspaper?

No. Yeah, they're like little roosters and they're all wrapped up individually and laid out in the back seat of the car so that way she could transport them without them fighting. Also retweeted a video of a guy in his truck during the hurricane who was out saving pets because people were just leaving their pets

and dogs running through the streets in the floods. And he's driving around the, this big truck and he jumps out of his truck, grabs a dog, and puts in the back, and they're like nine dogs, and he's just driving around rescuing pets. Like, that's a hero. He's putting his own life on the line to save animals. The worst of times brings out the best in people. A couple headlines this morning. Irma is right on Florida. It's expected to remain a hurricane strength at least through the morning after being downgraded to a category one overnight and passing

northeast of Tampa. At least four deaths have been reported in Florida, where more than 3 million people are without power. The state's accustomed to hurricanes, but this one obviously is a little different. Marine Smith, the New York Times here. Where it really hit hard was the Caribbean. Amy, what happened to Chesney's house? I believe it was completely destroyed. He was not there, although there was 20 people and 10 animals that were hunkered down.

They were safe, but they had to hide out, like, in a bathroom. Yeah, I was listening to him to talk on CNN. Mm-hmm. And he was sending his jet that he owns back and forth with dog food and water. Crazy. And he let people go in, even animals. I mean, it kind of felt like when he was talking about it was like Noah's Ark. He was like, load in the animals, load in the people.

And those islands, like, they got hit with the bad part of the storm. And there's only nowhere for them to go. And even with Cuba, we really don't know what happened in Cuba because they don't send out a lot of stuff. But Tim Duncan, didn't he come out and go, And he doesn't say a lot. And he was like, hey, don't forget about the U.S. Virgin Islands. And he posted some pictures and said, hey, you can donate. But those islands got hit hard.

Yeah, Kenny Chesney is doing something, too. He's created like a fund, and you can get more details at canychesney.com. But it's for the Caribbean. What else happened over the weekend? I mean, I felt like I was so into the hurricane stuff. You know, there was a lot of political stuff where they say Donald Trump switched party affiliations. Oh, he did? Well, he did something that I actually, that I liked.

And people, you're never going to, with politics, you just can't win. Like, ever, with any side. But what he did is instead of, he went over the Democrats for one. I just want a president who will listen to both sides and make decisions based on what he feels is right, regardless of a political, wherever you are on the political spectrum. And so the whole story was that he has switched political parties like five times. in his life. He's been a Democrat. He's been a Republican. But yeah, he switched over and did some stuff with the Democrats about the debt ceiling and relief.

And I always like it when people, politics aside, we'll go, you know, I should kind of investigate other side. Let me see what else is out there that maybe could be better for me and for us. So what do I know about policy? Zero. But I do like it when any president looks across. cross the aisle and goes, what can we do better? Everybody felt that way or no? I agree. Or do you guys even care? I totally agree.

I talk to Eddie about politics. I don't care. I can care less about it. I feel like it doesn't affect me directly, even though it probably does. I just, and it puts me in a bad mood when I watch it. Now, that's true. Apple is expected tomorrow to unveil the top of the line iPhone that comes out with facial recognition. It's going to be so expensive.

They're saying it's going to be like over a thousand bucks. Oh. Yeah, like more than some laptops. That's crazy. And you know they're going to sell like crazy. There's going to be a line. NFL started yesterday. Yes.

Cowboys won, Eddie. Yes, thank goodness. There you go. Lunchbox, who's your team? The Bears, they lost. Sorry about that, buddy. It was close. Better luck next time, my friend.

Next week's our week. Yeah, Gordon. The Bobby Bone Show A particularly heavy show today Because the Hurricanes It's the anniversary of 9-11 Don Williams and Troy Gentry's passing And we've talked about all of it

And I do plan to talk more about it But I do feel There's some times this morning Where we can kind of get off that And I know you don't listen to the show to be sad So I will bring up something That's very dumb and trivial I went and did yoga yesterday

Before I hopped on a flight and so I go to class and God, it's so judgmental Should I even talk? Yes. Bring it. So we're in

and you try not to be judgmental on yoga because people judge me I feel like because I'm bad at yoga but we're in and there's this girl next to me and she had on a,

it's like a sweatshirt and like a sports bra underneath that she takes a sweatshirt off and I'm talking about it looked like she had a treasure troll and a headlock

under her armpits. Oh no. She doesn't shave. I'm not talking about just done shape. Oh. She had dark hair or two. Oh.

I mean, you could have braided the hair. Wow. And I could not stop staring the entire class. Amy, please tell me how bad I'm human I am. I mean, it's something, listen, when you see something that you're not used to, oftentimes you are just enamored by it, maybe a little bit. So you... I respected the fact that she lived her life her way. Yes.

Like, I really did. I was like, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah. But also, what I'm talking about is that I can't stop. staring. Yeah, I mean, I think it's normal to look at things that you're not used to seeing, and we're not used to seeing that. Like, every once in a while we'll say at yoga, you will see that. She also, she also farted. Oh, my goodness. Oh, well, she's very much into the just be, natural. You're supposed to just, if that needs to happen at yoga, you're just supposed to let it happen.

Yeah, no, she did. She let it all happen. Armipet hair, farts. Like, I respect it. Now, I don't live the life myself, but I I respect her ability to do that. I wish I lived a little more like that. Like, her armpits are hair than mine because I manage mine. Now, would you be able to date somebody that? No. Come on. What?

He, but what? I don't even want to date someone who farts, much less has the armpit hair. Okay. I got a call yesterday. What's the day? It says Monday. Sunday. I got to call Saturday from our boss.

Head, head, head, head boss. Like head of the company. Oh. And said, hey, this song. And I'm not. kidding you he said this song namaste could it be a hit on the radio and i was like like the raging idiots are banned i was like i don't know i said our listeners don't complain that much about it which is good because some of people hear songs they're like okay we get a bobby shut up and then i shut up

but i was like they don't complain about it and people are buying it on itunes like crazy and i was like i don't know if it could be on i said radio pds are asking if they can start playing it so amy do you think this could be a real song? Because I never really honestly thought it could be a real song. 100%. Yes. So here's what we're going to do. If you haven't heard it yet, this is called Namaste. It's only two minutes and 30 seconds long by The Raging Idiots. And I'm going to play it. What I'm going to do later on, way later is I'm just going to play on the show without ever mentioning it and see if anybody starts like shazamming it or calling saying, hey, what was that jam I just heard? You'll know if people shazam it? Yeah, because you can look and see how many shazams it's gotten.

Oh, that is crazy. Okay. So here's Namaste by The Raging Idiots. We really were putting this out. We're going to Tulsa and Lubbock and El Paso. We're like, we'll make a new song. And so here it is. This is the song the bosses are asking about. You can tweet me and tell me if you think this could be a real song.

Here. 7.30 in the morning. In the suit that I was born in. Girl, why are you laughing at me? Come on, baby, with my khakis. I'm running late. Need to beat it like Jackson. but you're kind of a distraction

because I can't start watching you showing me your servicenna like the best looking bad influence I ever saw probably ought to hit the road but now I'm a mistake Ain't way I'm about to leave you in a press along the floor like that you look a little lonely on that mat

Namaste Namaste Namaste So on Friday after the show, the news came out that Troy Gentry from Montgomery Gentry was in a helicopter crash. And him and the pilot had both died. We didn't know what was happening at first. And I have so many friends that are very close to Troy and have been for a long time. I'd only spend a couple occasions with Troy.

So, just honestly, I don't have like a real touching antidote other than he was super kind to me. A very big presence. You're a little intimidated at first, but it was really, really nice. I think we'd done a couple things on the show with them and I'd been out on the road. We played a festival together once and I'd hosted something with them. But I reached out to a couple of friends and I called and said, hey, and I knew they were close to Troy. And I said, hey. and before I could even say

because I thought I would have someone come on the air that was real close to him and talk but it was so fresh and I didn't even ask and I talked to a couple artists that you would know from the radio I won't say their name and they were so hurt by it

that I just did not think that I wanted to put them on the radio when they were in such pain that they lost their friend and so instead I have some words that I'll read that some people have tweeted out. And you can always tell from people's words

and the words they use and how they use them if they really mean things. And artists were also, you know, playing tributes on. And Dan and Shea did something to be proud of here. Here's Dan and Shea on Twitter. That's something to be proud of. That's a life you can hang your hat on. As your chins held high as the tears fall down,

gut sucked in. She's stuck out like a small, I can't flyin, or a newborn baby crying. And they are that you love. That's something to be proud of. That's something to be proud of. I can tell you that the very internal national community is having a really tough time with this.

Dirk's tweeted just so hard to believe, too sad. Troy was one of the one to give the shirt off his back. one of the kind guys of country thoughts with his family and eddie and you're getting to hear the word kind a lot a little big town tweeted devastated to hear the news troy thank you for your kindness your spirit your joy and the love you shared with everyone you met luke brian country music's out of loss today our prayers are with the families of don williams and troy gentry it is a sad day RIP, T. Roy, shared a lot of good times and drinks with you.

I pray yours to your family. And there were a lot. Here is Old Dominion paying tribute. I can tell you as far as like artists and people around town, this one cuts really deep. It's a really personal loss for a lot of people in Nashville and the country music community. Here's what's happening this week.

So tomorrow night, is hand in hand a benefit for Hurricane Harvey relief. And I think they're now combining Hurricane Harvey and Irma. And so that'll air from Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, and San Antonio. I'll be answering the phones in Nashville. Not that gives you any reason to call. If you're going to call, a call anyway. And there's much cooler people to me answering phones.

But I get off a flight tomorrow and go right over to there. Because I think they're doing it, I don't know if I should say this. I think they're doing the Opry House is where they're doing the Nashville part of it. I think Blake and Reese Witherspoon Are the two main hosts from Nashville And it's just going to be all over the place And hopefully they make a lot of money

Also on Tuesday Thomas Retz Inside the Making of Life Changes I'm hosting that And it's me, Thomas And a lot of the producers from his album Tomorrow, the keynote Apple event Where the new iPhones announced

And one of the bigger things of the week Chipotle starts serving Koso nationwide It's a big deal. Tomorrow. On Wednesday, Marin Morris is on the tonight show of Jimmy Fallon. On Thursday, there's a new

Bobbycast with Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. Now, you wonder, who are they? They're the two real DEA agents from Narcos. What? Oh, yeah.

So I'm doing a bobby cast with, if you watch, or as Eddie calls it, Narcos. If you watch, Narcos. If you watch Narcos, they're the two agents and they're going to come by the bobbycast

or we're going to do an hour of that. Oh. That's awesome, dude. If you don't subscribe to the Bobbycast You're missing so much music Like country music behind the scenes I would encourage you to go to I Heart Radio iTunes to subscribe to the Bobbycast

And just go search for things Like the most downloaded Bobbycast Is still the one with Jake Owen and I Where we legitimately got into a fight Of verbal altercation during it But there's one with Karen Fairchild Dirkst Bentley Some of the greatest writers in town

Shane McAnally Ross Coperman Like it really is Kelsey Valerini Marin Morris It's fantastic, and it's an hour-long conversation with them. So, anyway, they're coming by to do that on Thursday. On Friday, ACM honors on CBS.

It's a two-hour special at 8 Central. And it's a really cool show. I got to present. I think this is the event where Thomas right now I're wearing the same clothes, but it's really great because Reba gets up and is awesome and Dolly Parton, and there's some fantastic performances. Also, funny alone.

I'll be in Biloxi, Mississippi. and Food Fighters have an album on Friday. So I do love the Food Fighters. I saw a story where Justin Timber was singing on the new Food Fighter album. And I was like, well, that's cool, but they're just doing like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Apparently he was hanging out with Dave Grohl

and he's like, can I sing on the album? He's like, yeah, sure. So he lets him do yeah, yeah, yeah. Breaking news, as of like 20 minutes ago, Irma's been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm. The National Hurricane Center said that. The storm's expected to a weekend

as it continues to move through land, which they expected. We just hope the flood damage just stays as minimal as possible. It's not going to be minimal, but at this point it's just, and yeah, I don't know what to say. Like you just hope that worst stories don't come out. And so as it goes into Georgia and up through, you know, Atlanta and it continues to go on, it's obviously going to weaken, but lots of storms.

And tomorrow will probably know, more and what areas need the most help. And obviously we've taken, if you go to bobbybones.com, our pimping joy stuff now goes over to help Hurricane Irma and the people affected by it. I'm curious to know what's happening in you guys personal lives. Amy, about 60 seconds. Talk about your personal life over the past few days. Oh, you know, nothing terribly exciting.

Just so waiting for my kids to get here. I like got a video from them this weekend. and they have their English lesson every Saturday. So we get videos and pictures of them. And, yeah, they're still not into it. They're still like, basically, when are you coming to get us? But they're, they smile for a second. And they're like, hi, mom and dad.

We miss you. When are you coming to get us? In English? Yeah, in English. Yeah. Yeah, they're with their English tutor. They better be saying in English, yes. It's in their cute little accents and it's adorable.

And my husband even, he sent me, he, the, our tutor sends the videos to him. him and then I wasn't with my husband, so then he sent it to me. And he was real proud of our son who was speaking good English. She goes, that's my boy. And I was like, oh, that's so cute to hear my husband like say, that's my boy. That's good. Yeah, I know. So, you know, just still waiting for them to get here.

But quick update on that is that, yeah, we're still waiting. Lunchbox? Oh. Oh, man, I was just really busy. This weekend was crazy. I went to Springfield, Missouri for a work appearance. I went to the professional bull riding event. And then I came.

back and I had to work all day Saturday and Saturday evening I had to do a little work. And so I saw my wife for a little bit yesterday. We walked the dogs and I was like, I'm about to watch football. So she went and got her nails done. Good, good day. Nice. What kind of work did you do Saturday evening? I had a live band karaoke because we had an event called Wine on the River where it's a big

wine festival and we did live band karaoke out there. And then you take it to the after party over at the hard rock. So, I mean, I was busy all day. Yeah. Got off a plane. straight to wine on the river. Dang. Sounds like you made a little bit of money this weekend, though.

Yeah, you know, businessman making business deals trying to get that money. My dog got a new handkerchief over the weekend. I put it on my Instagram monogrammed. This is dusty. So cute. Pretty proud of that one. It'll last about a week before he just, because he goes out and just rolls on the ground. Like, I don't even know what he's doing, scratching his back or rolling in turds.

I have no idea what he does. But he just goes out and rolls in it. but I was pretty excited about that. Lindsay, my girlfriend, I didn't see her because she went, and she was nominated for female vocalist of the year at the Canadian CMAs, which were last night, and she didn't win. She didn't expect to win, but she went, and it was kind of a big deal. Because she was not, well, yeah, it was the first year to be nominated.

And so, because her song now that's in the States is here in America, waiting on you, it's not near as high as it is in Canada. In Canada, it's like a top 15 song. And so there, you know, that's where she's from. So she's a bigger deal up there. Just wait. She'll be a big deal down here soon. Just wait, wait for it.

And then I didn't see her because I had to fly to California. So I'm in California doing the show here. It's actually early, early, early here. So that's pretty much it. And my friend was asked me yesterday because I was just with you this weekend. And they were like, wait, why is Bobby going to California? And I was like, I felt horrible because I literally couldn't answer. I didn't even know.

And I was like, she goes, weren't you just. with him yesterday. I was like, yeah. I came to town for about eight hours. I went in New York, dropped all my clothes off, washed my underwear, grabbed some new ones, and then got back on a flight. I can say, I'm here. So I have landed a TV show, which I haven't been able to talk about yet, but I can do other TV shows.

And so a major network has flown me out to talk to me today, but I'm not going to get it. I never get these big ones. Well, you always say, you always set yourself up for not getting it so that you're not disappointed. But that's why I'm here. This afternoon I have a meeting with one of the big four networks about a major show. Oh, that's cool. That's all I can say. Oh, like a, that, that, that, don't even mention the name. Because I know what you're thinking and it could be that. I just can't say. I just can't say. I can give, but that's what. We talk off air about it. That's why I'm here today. I really have no idea. Yeah, no, I know. I know. I don't know either. Fine. I won't mention it. I won't

say anything, but. Go ahead. Go ahead. What are you going to say quickly? Are you going to be hosting or acting? No, not acting. No, no, no. And maybe not even hosting. Maybe a Joe. Just that, who knows? Who knows? What did you say?

Or a contestant. Not a contestant and not an actor. No, no, no, no, no. Did you say? All right, thank you. Goodbye. That scary movie, It, about the killer clown, open to $117 million. That's massive for any movie right now, especially a horror movie, especially a rated

our movie? And so Mike D went to watch it. And I saw your review. It's pretty good, huh? You liked it? Really good, yeah. Would it scare me? Oh, yeah. First five minutes. Because I don't like scary movies anyway, but I don't know how a clown would scare me. Eddie Jr. is nine, and we wanted him to go see it. You all did.

I can't believe you guys want me to take my nine-year-old to go watch this movie. Play Eddie and Eddie Jr. talking about it, please. What do you know about the movie It? I know that it's really creepy and the clown is creepy and that I don't like clowns at all. So is this a movie that you want to go watch? No, definitely not. Why not? I don't like clowns.

They scare me and they're creepy. Especially the clowns and horror movies that are bad guys. How do you know? Have you watched the trailer? Yeah. I didn't let you watch the trailer. Well, maybe I just snuck behind the stairs and watched it. So you were watching the trailer when I was...

It was a 15-second TV spot. What have I told you the guys in the show, Bob? lunchbox, Amy, and then they want you to watch the movie so you can come back and review it. Would you still watch it? No. It does not seem like a good movie. It seems like a horror movie. It seems very bloody.

It was very, very, very, very scary clowns. What would you think of me as a parent if I let you go watch it? You would be crazy. Would I be a good parent or a bad parent? Bad. So you're not going to go watch it? No. 100% no.

No. You sure? No. There we have it. He should watch it. No way. He would traumatize him for life. Was it one of the better scary movies you've ever seen, Mike?

Best one I've seen all year, yeah. All year, but right it in your life? Probably top five. Really? Wow. I don't like clowns. The raging idiots at a parody once of Luke, strip it down called Scare to Clowns.

I don't know if you've heard this gym. Here it is. I love the fair. Well, most of it. Here's my story. God and candy on my face. I love the way this. corn dog tastes

Got a fried up Snickers bar About to ride some bumper cars I love going to fares Face pain and stuffed up bears But no one here knows why There's a tear inside my eye

Because I'm scared of clowns I'm scared of clowns They probably ain't that clean And they smell like beans With that old dirty smile Painted on his mouth When he laughs out loud It really creeps me out

I'm scared of clowns I'm scared of clowns They probably ain't that clean And they smell like beans With that old dirty smile Painted on his mouth When he laughs out Loud it really creeps me out

I'll produce the Raymond Saltoni Romo at the bar this weekend Yeah he was at Tootse's Because he was doing play-by-play for the, one of the NFL games. Like the Titans Raiders? Yeah, he had that on Sunday,

and I saw him Friday night. He was in town the whole weekend, partying up on Friday night. But I did want to get a picture. He was, like, it was kind of a VIP area. So obviously your boy tried to get in, but I couldn't. Why do you refer to yourself as your boy?

I don't know. Yeah, love to be your boy. Okay, so, sorry, go ahead. But yeah, I mean, he was looking great, having a couple drinks. The fact that he's going to, Tootsie's hitting up the bar life. He's enjoying this, you know, this retirement, not having to go play football games anymore.

Isn't he a lot bigger in person? That was another thing, too. That dude was about 6'6 and per like, he was like two heads taller than me. I almost thought he was a basketball player. And then I was like, that's Tony Romo, the football guy. The same way about Eli Manning, the first time I met him, a monster. Hands are humongous, tall, just a monster, dude. But the thing is, on TV, they're standing up against other monsters.

so they don't look like monsters. You know what I mean? What's true? Go ahead. Coming from Ray, when he says someone's really tall, Ray is like 5-5. According to Tony Romo's stats, he's 6-2.

So Ray seeing a 6-2 dude is like huge to him. Yeah, but he's 6-2-30. Like, you've got to imagine. That's true. I'm close to 6-1. It depends on my shoes. I'm 6-foot tall. If I get good shoes, I'm 6-1.

But, and I'm 160. You're talking about 70 extra pounds with one inch. That's pretty impressive. Yeah, that was my name in high school. Pretty impressive? No, 70 extra pounds of one inch. Wow. High school, huh?

What did you go to in college? Dang. Lunchbox went to Springfield, Missouri, and went to the PBR bull riding, and talking about some tough dudes. Oh, let me tell you. There is one thing I thought I'm pretty tough, but those guys are a different kind of animal. Because you get up next close to those bowls, and you don't realize how strong they are and how big they are, and those guys get thrown off

and they land on their shoulders, their heads, and they just get up, wave to the crowd, and they're like, yeah, there's awesome. They are so tough. One dude,

his shoulder popped out of the socket, he just popped it right back in. They're maniacs. And we've gotten to do a lot of PBR stuff, and there are a couple different organizations we do it with, and we're getting to play shows with them, and they're maniacs.

And some of the, first of all, I'd wear a helmet. Some of them don't wear helmets. I wear a helmet. I want to wear a helmet doing the radio show. That's how weak I am. Put a helmet on me.

But Ray saw Tony Romo and was impressed. Lunchbox saw Bull Riders and was impressed. Mike D saw it. The clown movie was impressed. Which, by the way, I just got a text from Craig Campbell. Said he took his young daughters to see it and they loved it. What? Wow.

Yeah, both of them. They're like tiny. Take Eddie Jr. Take Eddie Jr. Take Eddie Jr. No. Take Eddie Jr. It's been a pretty heavy show today.

I'll be honest with you. Between, maybe in 16 years since 9-11. and we took a few segments, talked about where we were, what it meant to us, looking forward. And you can hear all that back in the podcast today.

That's heavy. It's always heavy. It's always a good reset for me too. Like, to really appreciate what we have now. That and the hurricane hit. And just hoping for the best for all of our Florida listeners and just the people down in Florida

that are going through the hurricane and through the floods, even with Houston, like that's not even over, and they're getting some attention shifted away from them. The timing's never good, but it was like, the timing really wasn't good for this.

Between that, and then you had two deaths. Don Williams, a country music legend, and it was crazy for me because of everyone. Like, Eddie and I are both really into classic country. Amy usually isn't into the classic country. She loves George Strait and there's like 90s, 2,000 countries.

We all kind of, it's funny how we have our era. but Amy was a big Don Williams fan because Amy had like that was one of the tapes she had at her house so we were talking about him and I guess Eddie and your brother when you guys were in your band used to play a Don Williams song yeah my brother and I used to play a bunch of little bars when I was in a late high school early college and that was one of them we'd play I believe in you and that was our jam man this song is so good it is I believe in music I believe in And then Troy from Montgomery Gentry dying in a helicopter crash, which shocking.

Yeah. Amy, what do you have as far as the news story about this? I know there were some mechanical issues. Yeah, well, right now, the NTSB, which is the National Transportation Safety Board, they've launched an investigation. And there's two questions, whether or not the pilot should have attempted a landing instead of hovering. Because at this time, we know that, and there's audio of, you know, the air traffic control of the pilot.

Like, they were hovering to, like, try to decide what to do with the mechanical issues. And I think the pilot was trying to decide if you do a landing in a helicopter like that, you want to make sure that fire fighters or something. Yeah, they foam it. They're trying to phone the landing. Right, because you need to foam the landing immediately. And so emergency assistance was on its way, but it just was too late. And they ended up crashing, which is just terrible.

It was just the pilot. and Troy on board and yeah I reached out to some friends and not even for radio wise but just to reach out and be like holy crap this is you know

it's a really terrible thing and it was such a because he's a contemporary of like all of our artist's friends like he's a buddy a peer a friend another and everybody I talked to

he was so torn up I wasn't even going to ask him to come on the year and talk about him even as a kind of let's tell us a great story. Everybody was just so sad about it. It's terrible. It's been a heavy show. We've tried to lighten it up and do some fun stuff too,

but it's been a heavy show for us. So thank you for sitting through it with us today. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So Margot Robbie, the actress, she's playing Tanya Harding in the movie about the Tanya Hardy Nancy Kerrigan scandal. Hold on. Yeah.

So she goes from playing, what? Superhero is she? Margo Robbie. She's that like, punk girl with the picture. Hold on, hold you tell me, what is it? Suicide Squad. Yeah. She was in Suicide Squad and she's like super like tiny clothes, like way hot.

And now she's going to play Tanya Harding. Wow, what a transition. Yes, but here's the deal. When she first read the script, she didn't even know it was a true story. And so I was like, okay, how old is she? So I googled it. She's 27 years old. And then I went to our go-to Morgan number two, who's like the,

youngest on the show. And I was like, hey, if I say the name Tanya Harding to you, what comes to mind? She's like, nothing. She's 23. Yeah. And then Margot Robbie's like reading a script. She's like, what? This is a true story? Well, also, to be fair, Margo Robby's not from America. Yeah, she's from Australia. So I don't think that really... That wasn't a worldwide event? I don't think so. I don't think Tonya Harding, Jeff Galooly, smackin Nancy Kerrigan in the knee, really made international waves. Well, that I skis...

That lasted a generation. Okay, gotcha. But yeah, that's a crazy story. I don't know if she was playing Tanya Harding. Yeah. She actually, I think will make it pretty good... I mean, I think she might be... Well, anyway, I think she'll do a good job.

Miss North Dakota, Karamund, or Karamund, she's our new Miss America. Shout out. What was her talent? I was watching some of that last night. I saw a girl her talent was kicking a 20-yard field goal. What? Oh, that's cool. And I was like, we at the University of Arkansas can use her.

Sign her up right now. Oh, y'all don't have a good kicker? No, I missed two kicks and it really... Golly, that's the worst. That's the worst because that's his only job. Yeah, that's the worst. I always feel like that would just be the worst. You're the kicker that you have one thing to do

and if you don't do it right. Uh-uh. There was, Miss Louisiana was doing ventriloquism. And I was like, wow, she was the hottest ventriloquist I've ever seen in my life. She had two ventriloquist dummies and she was rocking them. And then Miss, I don't know Miss North Dakota's talent. Did anybody watch last night? No.

No. I did see Thomas. looking really sharp because he was a judge and he was in a tux. Everyone was comparing him to James Bond. The show was pretty entertaining last night for Miss America or Miss USA, whichever one it is. But it was wild because you'd have one network hurricane coverage, one network football, one network Miss America. I was like, man, this is America right here.

Wow. Like you got three different things happening on three different networks and people just choosing what they want to watch. Disaster, sports, or just like programming that means absolutely nothing. You know, just fluff. obviously for a while I was watching fluff. All right, what else? Well, Tiffany Amber Theson was asked if Zach or Slater was a better kisser on Saved by the Bell.

Oh, for sure, Slater. I know. I clicked the bait. Like, I had to watch a video to find this answer. So, of course, I watched a five-minute video about cooking. And finally at the end, she was asked, Zach or Slater. Slater? No.

She said Zach. What? She must like Mario Lopez less now. Why? Because Slater was ripped up and was like Ladies' Man. I like Zach Morris better But come on, let's all be serious Mario Lopez is probably much more suave with the girls

She did say they're all still super close I was like, yeah, right What else? I don't know about that. Bobby, you're not going to like this at all But another study is out saying that if your dog sleeps in the bed with you, it's ruining your sleep. If they sleep in the room and like on the floor,

you should be good to go. But if they are physically in the bed with you, no way now. I tried to put him on the floor and he tried to get in the bed too many times where I just gave up. It is what it is. My dog sleeps between my knees. It's uncomfortable for me when he's not there sometimes.

So I get it because you always move around and you probably don't get that hard sleep. So there you go. There's Amy's Piles, everybody. We're transmitting across America. This is a Bobby Bonds show. I'm reading this story about Steve Harvey. And so every year at Christmas time, he sends an old teacher of his a new TV.

Now, why you ask? Why? Why? He's so charitable and he wants to send a teacher. Yeah, not really. So he revealed in one of Oprah's master class episodes that after he got successful, the teacher told him that he'd never be on TV.

He sent a TV to every year. Oh, yeah. That's amazing. Eat that. When Steve Harvey was in sixth grade, his teacher gave a class assignment. I said, write down what you want to be. and he had a stutter at the time. He said, I want to be on TV.

She said, ooh, you can't really talk that well. Oh, oh. She goes, maybe this isn't for you. And so he remembered it in sixth grade, so every year of Christmas he sends our new TV. Thoughts.

I love it. I mean, that is in your face. Don't tell a kid he's not going to be something. Let a kid dream teacher. And that's showing her. Look at me now. How are you? It.

Love it. I mean, I think it's funny. I'm not like loving it. Like, look at you. But, I mean, it's funny. I think you could have proved this point after the first five TVs. I also think if I'm this teacher, I'm banking every Christmas that's selling TVs. Like, okay, she's probably like, this best thing ever did was telling that.

Because now I'm getting a big TV every year. I had a teacher, one of my high school teachers told me I couldn't talk on the radio because I didn't talk. I talked in broken sentence structure. I had an accent. And you know what? I still have both of those. Do you mail her radios every year? No, actually, I just, I, like, I don't really remember it that much.

Until the story came up, I was like, I had a hate her teacher, too. But I think, if anything, it kind of inspired me and then made me tell other kids, you can also do it more so than wanting to send broken radios back to the teacher, if that makes sense. Yeah. But I thought the Steve Harvey story, if nothing else was entertaining. And are we not entertained? Yes, I love it.

So. I'm going to end the show today. Remember, you can always text the Red Cross to help out with the floods and hurricanes, both Irma and Harvey. Oh, man.
