Welcome to Friday show Kane Brown. Coming in just a little bit. But first, let me say, morning studio. All right, we're going to do a get-to-know-you question today. So, I'll ask it. Take a second.

Think about it because you haven't heard the question yet. If you could own any animal as a pet that's not a dog or a cat. Doesn't matter which one. This is easy. Which animal would you choose? Eddie says it's easy, so you can go first.

A panda. I want a pet panda. Like, dude, as a little baby cub or whatever, I would cuddle with it, and then it'd probably rip my face off. Later, yeah, for sure. But how cute would that be? Panda's a good one.

Yeah, that would be good. Lunchbox? Easy. Kangaroo, man. man, that thing could hop me to work. You want to ride it? No, no, sit in the pouch. You can't get in a kangaroo's pouch.

You're not, it's too. No, no, you're too big. It's for babies. Yeah, you're too big to get the kangaroo's pouch, yeah. Okay, never mind. But put a saddle on it though, dude. Run it around. Well, no, it's like, I thought, oh, man, I could get in that thing.

It can hop me to work if I went to the bars and got drunk. I could just hop in the pouch. You think the pouch is that big? I've never, I don't know. I've never seen a kangaroo close. Maybe you're one of the really, really big ones? No. I never seen.

Like, as I always thought they carried their... They did, their babies. But they're like this big. Didn't know that. Little babies. Do you have a second guess? Yeah. Second option?

Go ahead. Lion. I mean, just the beauty and the mystique of a lion. Like, to have it in the backyard, it is so cool looking. You leave in the backyards? Yeah, why not just, if we're imagining itself, why not have like a whole... Sanctuary? Like 100 acres and let it roam.

But no, you just keep it right in your backyard at your house right now. Yeah. And, I mean, you could have viewing parties. would come over and pay you like a zoo like dude you want to come over and take pictures with my lion i mean that would be so cool so now he's uh tiger king tiger king you take a lion for a walk around the neighborhood and it starts gnawn on a tree or everybody's like wow i would be like wow yeah for sure amy probably a koala bear maybe those are cool i feel like i always see them in the tree like cuddling their babies i think i feel like they could cuddle me that be nice that we need

just to be cuddled that's what comes out amy's looking for an animal to cuddler. Any animal. This one I almost committed to once. It's a pig. A pet pig. Yeah. hilarious. Oh, you mean like a hog? A razorback? No. Not like a wild boar. Yeah, but the thing about pot belly

pigs is sometimes you get them and you don't know they outgrow what the pot belly is supposed to be and they end up being huge. You think you're getting a quote unquote miniature pig or a teacup pillet? I watch this one pig on TikTok that this family has. It's like their pet pig. It's hilarious. It's like a kid. And so that would be fun for me to have a pet pig.

You should do it. You should do it. We got two dogs. Stanley's kind of like a pig. Thank you. He is. He is kind of like a pop-belly pig. No, he is.

Oh, you know, he's just kind of lays around. Fats. For sure, that's it. But yeah, pot-bellied pig would be awesome as a pet. All right. Big show. Let's go. Friday show starts now.

Here we go. Let's open up the mail bag. You send an email and we read it all. the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My husband and I have been happily married for several years. I genuinely cherish the time we spend together. However, every football season, I lose my husband. My husband is a passionate football fan. And while I respect his interests and hobbies, I've noticed he spends virtually every weekend watching football games. I appreciate his enthusiasm. I want him to enjoy it. However, it feels like this has become an all-consuming

activity for him, and it leads me feeling neglected. I miss spending time with him, going for a walk, having a cozy dinner at home, simply having meaningful conversations. It seems like every weekend we're in different rooms. Him glued to the TV, me feeling a bit lonely. Do you have any advice on how to talk with him or any strategies we can use to create a more balanced weekend routine? Signed, wife of a football addict.

I absolutely do. There's a gap after the 3 o'clock games and before the Sunday night game. That's like an hour and a half. Oh yeah, solid, solid hour and a half. That's a great time to have a little bond. Yeah, that's what we do, dinner. On Sunday, absolutely. Yeah.

And that's when I go, you know what, I don't need to watch football anymore to my wife. And then we do something, there's no football on for that hour and a half. That's a great time for that Sunday. If you go out or don't watch football, it's just going to be met with resistance. What we do usually is during the first slate of games, the noon games, we may have a brunch that starts at like 11 that rolls into like the first 20 minutes or so of the games that's great i'm giving i'm sacrificing huge you're willing to give up the first 20 willing it's a weird word yeah do i yeah so we did that this weekend so it's give and take

we go we have some brunch a little walk do it do the walk at 11 depends on what time zone you're in but you can do that and then there's that gap on sunday night now college football that's a different animal no gaps there are no gaps but college football he kind of needs to identify as teams because NFL's different. You can watch every game. There's Red Zone Channel. College. You've got to kind of chase games.

He just needs to have his team. College he for sure gets to watch. And then you make plans around it. There's no football on Friday night, right? Unless you're like local Friday night lights stuff. Sometimes there's a mat game or something, but yes. But Friday night is pretty clear, clear and clean. Yeah.

Because Thursday night's not, Monday night's not. But really the key is that gap between that 3 o'clock game and that 730 game. But Amy's on to something. Friday night's not a bad night. night to do something? Yeah, I think you just got to be proactive and share with him how you're feeling and he needs to take some initiative.

But we can't. You gotta be very sensitive about it though. Yeah. Yeah, you can you're allowed to share how it's making you feel. But you have to share very sensitively. Why? Y'all are watching men run into each other with a lot. But we're still sensitive. We get very defensive about it though. Like you're trying to keep us from something we love. Correct. So.

No, you don't have to even put, no, no one's trying to keep you from anything. You're saying, Hey, sounds like it. I would like for us to schedule in some time. I would just say, can I have that spot after the 3 o'clock game before the 7.30 game? That's a spot for dinner every Sunday.

Can we have this? Have them dedicate it to that. Boom. Good. Do something before the games. Boom, good. Or you can sit on the couch and watch with me. It's awesome scheduling stuff with y'all.

Okay, but would you rather have nothing at all? And that's only five months out of the year. Would you rather have nothing at all? Would that be your response? Yeah. And that's why you can't do it like that. Because I got defensive right now to Amy. I'm watching it right now.

If I was kidding, I'd be like, you're about to get nothing at all. You're about to get. Whoa. Jeez. Yeah. That's what I would suggest. Practically from a dude who loves to sit and watch football all day, there are two gaps before the games and in between the second round of games.

Yeah. Make him promise a Friday. And also what? My wife and I have a Tuesday night thing that we do because I can be away too much. But that's what I'm saying. Everybody good? Yeah, it's great. Don't do what Amy said.

Yeah. And then there's what? like February to August? Yeah. Basketball. All right. Thank you all. Close the mailbag.

We got your email. It's now time for Fun Fact Friday. Fun Fat Friday. Give me that fun fact, Amy. Well, putting sugar on a cut will make it heal faster. Oh, it does not feel good, though, huh? Or some sugar on top. Sugar, have you done that?

Wrap it with a bandage. There's no too. This is a joke. This is a joke. This is one of those sugar crystals. It will absorb any moisture that bacteria thrive on. It's not salt, though, bones. it may not hurt.

Yeah, it may be kind of sweet. If you put anything in a cut. But sugar? Yeah, like even the esphor hurts. Man, I'm telling you, sugar does not feel like that's going to be good. It says it'll make it hill faster, so, you know. I'm watching how to use sugar to heal wounds. That just can't be good.

And also, I love sugar so much. I don't know licking my wound. I know how this goes. Literally like I need to. Lunchbox, what you got? The billy goat urinates all over his belly, chest, in beard to attract a mate and a male porcupine

sprays his urine in different directions to find a female and when he finds one he likes he pees all over her That's the thing, huh? Yeah, Marks again. Imagine if you go to the bar and you're looking for a chick and it's like, that's the one I want. It's cover and pee. I've heard stories.

Yeah, I've heard stories too. I mean. Okay. Morgan. The Knights Watch cloaks. and Game of Thrones. You know what I'm talking about? The things they wear. Yeah, they're really furry. They were made from IKEA

rugs. They were $250 each and then they shaved them down and dyed them to make them look like clothes. That's pretty good. Eddie? Guys, did you know that you can burn, the average person can burn 114 calories an hour just by standing? So like if you just stand up all day,

you burn some calories. Yeah, your body's functioning. Yeah, well... But you don't think that because you're just standing. Yeah, but that's... So everybody get But also it's not that many calories for an hour's work. Two hours you burn out of soda. Hey, Scoob, Steve, how's your thing happening over there where he had bad posture and he wanted the company to buy him a rolling desk? Scoob, what's happening with that?

They haven't bought me one yet. So I have this thing that my doctor gave me that kind of elevates it a little bit and keeps my wrists at the right level and my back straight. So this has been helping. And you want a whole new desk that rolls? I want one of those ones. Like you see doctors and doctors offices, like a singular desk. so you can roll around and I could bring it into the studio and all around the building. And what does that cost?

I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood around $2 to $300. Okay, I will buy that for you. Really? If the company's not going to buy it, I'm happy to just be no you the money. Oh. What? What? I see this one.

Capsa LX5, non-1500. I'm not buying that one for you. That's a nice one. Okay, well, that's the one I wanted. Okay, well, get the company to get you that one. I'll find one that's a reasonable price. Dang. Okay.

So, you guys, I had so many fun. facts today. Come on. Do you want more than one? Yeah. Because I got some good ones. First of all, Vincent Van Gogh. Familiar with them? We've heard about it. He's the one. Ever heard of him? Oh, no, we're not doing that again. So he didn't start painting until he was 27 years old. He died when he was 37. In those 10 years, he did about

900 paintings, and on average, he did one about every four days and only one painting sold while he was alive. He's broke, one painting sold. That's so sad. That's not fun, man. Now he's like world famous. Starry Night, I saw it. No. No, you didn't.

You saw a story night of Roan. The original. The original story night, I saw it. No, we're not doing this again. Okay, all right. Next up, you know what cereal I love? Lucky Charms. A guy named John had a event of Lucky Charms in 1964

when he had Cheerios, the normal Cheerios. And you know those circus peanuts that are like marshmallow, those, like you give him the gas station? Yeah. He put those in Cheerios. I wanted to see how it tasted, and that's where the idea of the marshmallows and the Cheerios Lucky Chirios.

Lucky Charms came. That's amazing. I love that. And then finally, and I didn't know which one to go with, because it was a sports one too, there was an NFL MVP that was a kicker one time in the history of the league. Did you know that? Was it the guy with half foot? No, no, no, no.

He made the longest for a long time, but he wasn't the MVP. This guy's name was Mark Mosley of the Redskins in 1982. He made 20 to 21 Phil goals. The Redskins won the Super Bowl. No other kickers ever been named MVP. Now Mosley is a big executive at five guys, burgers. What? What?

But he won the MVP as a kicker, which is pretty cool. You're thinking of Dempsey. Yeah, Dempsey. Who didn't have all his toes and kicked a 61 yarder, I believe. On both feet? No, just the kicking foot. It looked like a big sledgehammer. It looked like a big sledgehammer.

That's interesting because you would think something would make him off balance. I guess that's not the one he's standing on. Well, you kind of stand on both of them. I'm sure you figure out how to stand on them. You have to move on. You have to run on both of them. True. Yeah.

Do you think you put little prosthetic toes? No, he had half a foot. His shoe was flat too. Like he didn't have toe on a shoe. Wow. Half a foot. Okay, cool. Tom Dempsey?

But that's not the dude we're talking about. No, no, no. Let's tell the guy. Mark Mosley. Fun Fat Friday. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home there's something good.

I've got some great news for nature lovers. Tomorrow, September 23rd is National Public Lands Day, which means all the, the national forests, all the national parks in America are completely free. Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's good. And when you go out there for free, pick up a little bit of trash.

Well, not only that. Not only that. They say that this is the biggest day for nature volunteering. Oh, it is, really. So people go free so they go and do stuff. They're expecting 70,000 people this year to just volunteer at their parks, pick up trash, clean up trails, stuff like that. How do we feel about flushing gum down the toilet?

I do it all the time. Are we not supposed to? I don't know. I'm asking you guys. I don't know. Because instead of, I'll just spit it in the toilet. But now I'm thinking about nature in my head. Are we supposed to flush gum down the toilet?

Well, it doesn't go into nature, man. It goes to a plant. You don't think that goes into nature? No, that goes to like streams and rivers. It goes into like a poopy water. Yeah. And then eventually the ocean, guys. What do you know about that, Mike?

You guys think your poop goes into the ocean when you flush it down the toilet? Yeah. It goes. Go ahead, Mike. Oh my God. It can be bad for your pipes. He can clog them up. It's stuck in there.

He's thinking about the pipes. Yeah, I think about the pipes. Yeah, issues later. Where do you think it goes when you flush the toilet lunchbox? Why do you into the plant? Yeah. Yeah, but then they treat the water again and it goes. Yeah, guys.

Yeah, but they take, guys, your poop is not going into the ocean. Where do you think our poop goes? Oh my God. Do you guys really think? Here goes the overnight situation again. How does a package get shipped? You really think your poop is sent out to the ocean? I think it goes through some filters.

I think everything eventually goes to the ocean. I thought it was just filtered through the treatment system and then back into water. There we go. Eddie, thank you for sharing that with that. No problem, guys. You're right, Amy. There you go. Thank you. Let's not get distracted. Tomorrow, all the parks are free. Nature for everybody. Thank you. That's what it's all about.

That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. Yep, that's me. Cliver Taylor the 4th.

Bobby, I was just thinking, I don't know that you've ever actually told the story of when you own the trademark to make American Great again, and then made Donald Trump write a check to St. Jude for it. I would really love to hear the story. I know you said there was a bad story or a sad story, but I think we all need to hear it. Environment's not right yet. It's a bad one. Everybody loses in this one.

When will the environment be right? I don't know, not right now. But yeah, I did own it. Environment's not good. One day we'll get to it. There's no reason to divide anybody, you know? We're a show. It's inclusive.

Everybody comes in. We all hug it out. Have a good time. Don't we leave politics at the door. You know what I mean? Yeah. But yeah, one day I'll do it. I thought about writing it in a book once, and then I was like,

I don't want to do that either right now. So one day, it's very entertaining. I thought I was going to die. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Fall is the worst season for auto accidents. And experts have three main reasons why. Time change. Well, diminishing light.

Leaves on the ground. Has to do with that. When you slip, your car slips. Actually, y'all've got two out of the three. Yeah, slick surfaces and it's from wet leaves. It can feel. Oh, I was totally making a joke. No, no.

Eddie's joke. I was kind of joking too. Yeah, like three stoog, gung, gung, gong. Wet leaves can make driving surfaces slick as ice. I don't believe it. But what's the third one? Deer. Oh, yeah.

It's mating season. October. They just in the middle of the road getting on. That's crazy because they're just not, they're stupid at that time of year. They have one thing on their mind. Think about men. We're also stupid all the times of year. Yes.

So it's not just a deer thing. Okay. Also, just keep those three things in mind. I like when there's signs that tell me there's deer, because in highly deer populated areas. Like one of those signs is deer humping? No. No, but it's hard to know when a deer is going to come out,

but it is helpful if however the city knows where they hang out and they put up those signs. Got it. They just guess? Probably where there are other accidents or there's like, yeah. They should have sensors where like a deer gets close that's like the flashes. Is that what you want to do with our tax money? Well, maybe not.

Okay. So dating debt is becoming a thing, especially among Gen Ziers. They say that they're incurring debt from going on dates, but is not keeping them from dating. They're willing to do it. Hey, Morgan, let me ask, because you're in the dating world now. Is it mostly dudes, or do you feel like you're paying for more of your dates more than ever, or at least your half of dates? I feel like I pay for some of the dates later on, but not in the beginning.

I feel like it's mostly guys. That's even how it was back in my day for you. years ago. And I think that is the common thing that's happening, but people were pulled to see who should pay, and only 44%, which I thought was low, said that the man should absolutely pay for the first date. Yeah, but I don't know that even Morgan would say absolutely the man has to pay. I think just generally we do. Yeah, I don't think absolutely. Like if we go to dinner, he pays for dinner, I would offer to like, if we decide to go to drinks, I would try and buy drinks. Would it be a deal breaker though if he was like, hey, we'll split this on a first dinner. Dutch? No one calls

a Dutch thing. Not since like moonlighting was on with Bruce Willis, they call it Dutch. That's good to know. I don't think it would be a deal breaker unless I'm getting other like financial problems. Right. So that don't let that stat get you. People that are like a dude must pay, I wouldn't even want to be with them.

I would want to pay, but I want somebody who declared I must pay. Yeah, I that's a good catch. I don't know what two deer get it on and to be with them. No, you caught the word absolutely, which I didn't so that was a good catch. And some daters are saying, hey, I won't be offended if you take me to do something that doesn't cost money. Like go for a hike.

I know this place where the deer get it on. And then the average cost of a first date is $91. Dang. It's a lot. Okay, a study shows that talking with others in person, even if it's a stranger, boost your mood more than texting, scrolling, or being alone. Yeah, but on the flip side of that, I don't want to be the stranger that someone just comes up and starts talking to. That's a good point. You know? So I hear you. It's fine. I mean, you. You find a willing participant. But if somebody just comes up like, hey, when you're going to talk? I don't.

No, that's the thing. You think it's not going to be enjoyable, but that's what they found in the study. Most people are like, nah, scrolling my phone would be more fun. And then when they found themselves in a conversation with a stranger, that ended up being more fulfilling. Try it out. You can do that like on an airplane or a bus or something. No, I have headphones. Okay.

You do. You put those right on. I just need time for me, you know. Well, maybe this weekend. I do agree. If you get a good one. You catch a good one. You get a big one on the line.

Like a fun person or an interesting person, yes. But just generally, most people don't want to get other things happening. But you never know if they're interesting unless you talk to them. Amen. Go ahead. I mean, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With lunchbox. Say home it's something good. Rebecca Wint of Brian, Texas would drive to work every day and there'd be the same guy walking down the road in his little shirt with a logo on it. So she's like, man, I guess he walks to work every single. single day. And finally she was like, I wonder why he walks. So she contacted his place of work and said, hey, who is this guy? Can you give me his phone number? And so they gave him the phone number. She called him, said, why do you walk to work every day? He said, I had a bike. It broke. And so now I

walked two miles to work and two miles home. She's like, oh, that's not right. So she gets online, says, hey, friends, there's this guy that walks to work. Let's get him a bike. Over an hour, $1,000, bottom electric bike. Like your bike's legit too Because you just pedal a little bit Then you go electric That's cool Yeah you don't have to do anything

You just chill It helps you Well you still gotta do a little bit But yes It does help you a lot Yeah and then she had Extra money She gave it to him

And then this is him Talking about it How it Brought tears to his eyes It's emotional Brought tears to my eyes You know I mean

What she gave me Was just remarkable She didn't have to do that at all She saw a guy Walking to work Yep I wonder if anybody ever sees me biking to work and thinks, I wish you get that guy a car.

According to Abby, people see you biking and working like, dude, get out, move, move. You're holding up traffic. Like a logo? Because they're going to know where to call? No, I should. You should do one of those sweaters. Call this number. How's my biking?

877, Bobby. All right, thank you. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me.
