It's time for a lot. Update. You ready? Bobby Bone Show. Update. On yesterday's show at this same time, Amy and Lunchbox got into a little tiff because Lunchbox thinks he's going to be the A segment on the HD TV show. 100%.

Yeah. Amy thinks she's going to be the A segment on the HG TV show Building Roots. It's her sister show. You guys fought about it. Yeah, but we know that the producers like me more than Amy and they said my project's bigger. Amy's no chance for an A. Why do you go so hard? No, I'm just, I'm not, I'm stating facts.

What do you think, Amy? I have no idea. I know my project isn't big enough, but I feel like because it's my sister will have other content. Yes, the sister on the show. I think that. Makes sense. You can get any project, but can you get a sister? No, I think that's a big deal.

So they're arguing about it. Well, the update is someone's come to me and said they also want to be in the mix for the show. Oh, here we go. Well, they need to apply ASAP. Okay. Who is it? Guys, listen, I don't want A or B because honestly my project's not big enough. But I got a text yesterday from my wife said there's a hole in our roof and it needs to be fixed.

So I said, ah, perfect timing. They're casting for the show. Dude, if they can get Amy Lunchbox and me and do work on our houses, that's a show. We should just hire somebody to do our whole show's house and do our own show then. Come on. The Vi-Bone show lives in crappy houses. Watch it tonight. That's not a bad idea.

Yeah. But also, like, it's a design show. So, like, it's not just like patching holes. But they can put a cool little ornament on the hole. Are you jealous? that they're getting involved in this? Yeah, did you get up there and cut a hole in your roof home? No, no, that would be hilarious.

He's up there with a sock. This has nothing to do. I mean, being left out or feeling jealous. This just kind of helps the value of them putting all of us on the show. I don't think it helps the value putting you on when they're both already on. A, B and C is better than just an A B. No. So you want a C segment that doesn't even exist.

Hey, that's what I'm saying. We all need to keep in mind that they have other applicants. Like, there's some NFL player that applied. Like, we might not make it. Yeah, I'm right. Guys, the three of us, the power within three of us, I mean, there's no match in it. NFL player, get out of here. Get out of here.

So the update is Eddie wants in. Well, you're not getting in. Eddie. I won't even put a good word in for you. And you are the word giver? Yes. Yeah. Okay.

Well, maybe when do we find something out of Amy? This is your sister. When will we know something? In the next couple weeks, next three months. Guys, I honestly don't even know if there for sure is a season two. But I guess that's a good point, too. Like, there's things that I don't know. I'm supposed to have a meeting.

I thought I would have already had it by now, but I don't, I haven't heard back. I keep pushing you away. What's the producer's email? Let me jump in on the emails. It's producer of producer.com. Yeah, hit that up. That's not. And let us know who responds.

That's not it. And let's get started with the show. It's at time. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My 10-year-old daughter is determined to never fly in an airplane because she is terrified thinking about it. We have a family trip coming up, and she tells me, and I quote, there is no way you're getting me on that plane, end of quote. I remember Bobby talking about his fear of flying. What advice would you give me that could help my daughter? P.S., thank you for being a family-friendly show that we can all enjoy together, signed Kylie, whose daughter doesn't want to fly.

Well, I think this is just exposure therapy. You're the mom. She's got to do it. I think she does it a couple times. she ain't going to die. That being said, I've done it a couple times and I still don't realize I ain't going to die. I hate it. I hate it so much and I have to do it all the time. And I think had I done it much younger, I would be better at it. My wife and I were talking about it and she flew a lot as a kid. And so she was like, I'm just not scared of it because I did it a lot. I was like, man,

I never got on a plane until late teenage years once or twice. And then I was in my 20s and I was flying and I was like, how is this big piece of metal on the air? This is not right. Something doesn't it feel good. But she's 10. You still have time to show her. Also, and she's going to hate this, you could actually pull up a YouTube video and teach her how an airplane works. It don't work for me, but she's 10. She's still impressionable and actually show her why the science behind it. Probably not going to worry about all this stuff, a combination of eventually she will be fine. She will be fine. And she'll even be fine hating it while she does it, but she will be fine and realize that she's not going to die.

You can even try the, hey, look, this is the percentage of airplane crashes versus car crashes. Again, still, I'm not going to do anything. But that does it for me, it's like hardly a single airplane crashes in America, like a commercial flight, ever. Yeah. Hardly ever, almost never. How many car wrecks are there a day people die all the time? So. I'm not going to want to get in car.

Well, you know, that's a trade you make. Yeah. It's tough because she's 10. And I also have no interest in flying. but I think it's just even putting the carrot in front of the horse meaning like you put the carrot in front of the horse and it keeps walking toward the carrot

because it's got a treat coming so they do it anyway you could reward her even though she hates it and she can still hate it but just by doing it like if you we will give you this if you can just get through this flight without telling me you don't like doing it even if you hate it you can just if you can fake it and act you will get this

and I think by her acting the part she will start to be the part and it won't be a part so that is my advice for you. It's tough. Eddie, your kids are what? 14, 8 and 7. The 8 year olds. Do they care? No, they love flying actually. They love looking out the window when we take off. But I mean, anything else that we do as parents, incentives like you said is huge. Like you tell them, all right, if we get this

done, this will happen. Or maybe, hey, next time, if you like this flight, next time, we go to Disney World. We'll fly you there. Oh, whoa. That's a big. I'm just saying you don't have to do it, but just say that. She wants to get it on the plane. Why would you say that? I think, though, if, again, the incentive part, if you just say, hey, just act like you're not scared. And if you fake it the whole time, you'll get this. Because again, if you act something enough times, it then starts to be reality. I believe it. So it's tough.

Good luck with that. And let us know how it goes, but she will be fine. She has time to not be completely neurotic. I do not. I'm done. I'm tapped out. All right, Kylie, thank you. That's the mailback.

Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on your air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback. Yeah. We love to start Fun Fact Friday with a listener fun fact. Morning, Bobby. Your interesting fact for today is, did you know how many bones giraffe has in its neck? The answer is seven.

It has the same seven bones in his neck as you have in your neck. Enjoy your Friday. So I would have thought it had been like 100. Yeah. I also didn't know I had seven bones my neck. I didn't either. I thought we had like three. But the fact that we had the same as a giraffe, they're just taller bone.

Drafts are wild to look at. You see them on TV and you're like, Oh, wow, I'll drive. But you see it in person? Wow. Crazy. He just jump. He's top of that tree.

It's crazy, man. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. You enjoy, and I don't like zoos, but you enjoy seeing wild animals more when you're older than you do when you're a kid. Right. Because you live more life with the non-wild. The wilder makes it even wilder. Fun Fat Friday.

All right, we got five of them. Lunchbox, I'm coming to you first. Let's go. Farts can be visible in cold air. If a person cuts the cheese in cold weather with their pants down, you will see it. Just like when you breathe in the cold air, you see your breath,

a fart will be visible in the same way. That's hilarious. Yeah, try that. I think he just looks for fart wins everyone. I think it's his new beat. Fun fart facts. Fun fart fact Friday. Yes.

All right, Amy, what you got? Okay, so mine's also about an animal. When howling together, wolves harmonize rather than howl the same note to create the illusion that there's more wolves in their pack than there really is. So they sing perfectly so it sounds like more.

Yeah, they harmonize together and it echoes off to sound like there's more of them. And that keeps them more safe. It makes some people more scared. They're harmonizing. You're one doing a run? Eddie. Yeah, you know how people say like, hey, use your head, not your heart. Or like, think with your brain, not your heart.

That's hard for a shrimp because the shrimp's heart is located in their head. Isn't that crazy? So next time you order shrimp at the restaurant and you de-head it, you just pulled his heart out. Lunchbox, why did you look away? I mean, his analogy was like, oh, it's hard. I mean, I was kind of boring. That's funny.

A shrimp, you could have just said a shrimp's heart's in their head. Yeah? Yeah, I got confused. I'll be honest with it. I got spun around. Oh, yeah. Do you eat the shrimp's head when you eat a shrimp? I don't eat their eyeballs, but.

I don't eat the tail. No, guys, you take the head off of it. Yeah, but I eat it. What the head? The tail. Okay, so you don't do that. I throw away the tail. You throw away the tail.

You throw away the head. You just eat the body. I didn't know we weren't eating the head. I thought that was just their eyeballs. I will suck the head of crawfish. Okay, now you're sucking heads of the crawfish? Yes. But I don't, the shrimp, maybe I just don't know.

Does that mean you're sucking the heart too because the heart is in the head? Well, that's crawfish. Yeah, Eddie spun me around a little bit. That's not very fun. I'm not having fun right now. Come on, guys. All right, Morgan. The ancient Romans used to drop a piece of toast into their wine for good.

health, hence why we raise a toast. That's amazing. No idea. That's pretty good. So we raised a toast because they had toast in their wine back in the day. Yep. That's cool. Raise your toast.

Raise a toast. Wow. All right. Finally, you know what the Ouija board is? Yes. The thing, you put the little triangle on it and you act like the spirit's talking to you by going letter to letter, but it's always one of your idiot friends who are doing it. But which is the idiot friend?

You never know. The Ouji board got its name when the people who created it in 1890, said, hey, what should the name be? And it took them to O, U, I, J, A, which spells Ouija. Okay, the hair just stood up in back of my head. No, they probably, one, made up the story. No, it's creepy, man. That's crazy.

That's cool. No, no, guys. You're the person they want a trick. I don't know. Okay, well, that's fun. I was never the one moving it. I wasn't either. I only did it once, and I thought this thing's so stupid.

And then I quit, and then I wondered, should I quit? Or this is the Ouija mad at me now? Fun fact Friday. Come on! It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So if you see a dog locked in a hot car, what do you do?

I first go up to the car and make sure that I'm not missing something. Like on the, there's a screen that goes, hey, the dog's fine. Because some of those fancy cars will say, air's on, dog's fine, don't break the window. Oh. I read a story about that. I haven't actually seen it. If that's not the case and the dog looks like struggling, I go, hey, whose car is this? nobody answers, I try to open the door.

It ain't open. I break the window. Really? Well, these concerns... I'll pay for somebody's window if I'm wrong more than I would like a dog to die. Yeah. Well, so they didn't break the window, but they called 911. And officers arrived immediately, and they were able to break the window and get the dog out.

This dog was definitely in distress. And so the officer, who was a part of this whole process in New York, decided to adopt the dog. because obviously the dog didn't stay with that owner. That was complete neglect. The owner sucks. Yeah. And so it's so cute because she decided to rescue the dog and says it will never be neglected again. And his name?

Heater. Oh. No. That reminds you of bad times. I made that up. Yeah. Seabones, I would have done that though. Call the cops before breaking the window just to cover yourself.

You don't have time. I wouldn't it because the dog could die while you're doing that. If the dog's in distress and then you know what, if I get in trouble for breaking a window because I'm trying to save a dog, okay. It's worth it? Yeah, it's okay. If I'm on the, if I'm on, uh, country now, blog, by bones, mugshot, you're right, okay, that's fine. Because I was literally, I had to make a decision.

That's what I decided to do. I'll stand by it. You know, Kathy that we work with, that's basically how she got my dog Kara. Like, she wasn't, she wasn't in a caught car, but she was in distress tied up somewhere. And she straight up just showed up at their house, knocked on the door, said, this dog is being neglected and mistreated. I'm taking it. She's straight up through it in the car and then called me.

That's what Lady Gaga's dog, that's what happened to him. No, that was a kidnapper, though. Oh, they shot. That was different. This was neglect. Anyway, thanks for the story. She did great. That's awesome.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. The easiest trivia game ever made. It's easy trivia. The first category is Bobby Bone Show. Amy, what member used to work for Ryan Sechrist and Dr. Phil? Scoof of Steve. That is correct.

I'm looking at my map in my head right now. I know this. Okay, Spain. South America. Oh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, no. Where are you looking?

Guys, I want to say so. What? I'm starting to think it's just the Kansas education system. Just hold on. Between her and Morgan. Yeah. I don't think it's any. I used to think it was K-State.

No, I mean, she's thinking because they speak Spanish. I know what it is. It's what? You're up. Gosh, dang it. You're up. I can't believe I said that. You're out.

You're down and out. Goodbye, Abby. Dang. She got a big shot here. Blue it. The category is for Lunchbox and Eddie. Lunch if you win, it keeps Eddie from a championship. Man, it seems like I'm in here all the time.

Get out of here. Did you do this bonus because you're colorblind? I don't, well, I don't watch scary movies and I'm colorblind. So all of my answer goes to probably Mike who found it, but the answer is red and green. Oh my God. Get out of here. Is it a dark green? It's a dark green.

Who's a threat now? Who's a threat now, son? Hold on a second. Mike, would you validate it's red and green? Red and green. Wow. And they stay there. And they stay there.

Wow. Where do I ride into protests? I'm looking at it right now. But what's the protest? That it's red and black. Well, no, I'm looking at it right now. I don't trust your eyes. No, no.

It's all listed as red and green sweater. Like if you're buying it, a red and green Freddie's sweater for sale. Hey, maybe I'm colorblind. Maybe you're just wrong and embarrassed because you jumped in so quick without thinking. Lunchbox, good win, buddy. Abby. I can't believe I miss that. Abby, you played.

I did. Yeah, you played. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, we'll be back. So this is Abby at Children's Hospital in San Antonio who left this voicemail. Good morning, studio.

Good morning, Bobby. Today on our live TV broadcast that we go out to the entire hospital, I am hanging out with our facility dog, Marcus, and I'm going to reading Bobby Bone, family the dog, and the first day of school. And I am very excited to read it to the whole entire hospital. I think a lot of the kids are about to start school and not be feeling nervous. So it's a good way to get your book out there and just help the kids feel a little bit better about the first day of school.

I appreciate that. Thank you very much. It's so cool. You know, a lot of kindergarten first and second grade classes have been tagging me where they have read this book in class. And I wrote this book, Stanley the dog, in the first day of school, to kind of help kids relax and go, all right, first day of school, big deal. But you got to stay true to yourself and who you are. And if you do that, good things will happen. So, but I appreciate that.

Thank you very much. You can get the book on Amazon if you want to get it. The Bible Show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. A civil court recently ordered a 31-year-old man to pay his ex-girlfriend, $1,150 because he urinated inside her Louis Vuitton handbag. Okay, so he just destroyed an expensive thing. Yeah.

He just so happens he peed in the purse, which has been funnier to say because of alliteration. Oh, yeah. He peeing the purse? Pyrn first. Yeah. Well, he tried to cover it up by pouring deodorant all over it, like a spray deodorant situation. And they're like, hey, buddy, forensics, we got your urine here.

It matches your DNA. You're going to have to pay her. They were having an argument about how much she was spending on designer things. So that's how he decided to handle it. You know, my dog owes me a thousand bucks. Pied my suitcase. Oh. Well, I guess it wasn't worth a thousand bucks.

I just went with that. But my dog peed in my suitcase. And, you know, I did? I sprayed a bunch. First of all, I scrubbed it. And then I sprayed a bunch of stuff on it. Good as a new. You wouldn't even know.

I've loaned out to friends a couple times too. No way. As a test. As a test. I loaned it out. And then I was like, hey, how to go? It was a bag cool? Yeah, yeah.

No problem. I really haven't you cleaned it. No, because I would probably smell it even if it did all get scrubbed away because I would know. And I'd be like, no, I still kind of smell it. Even if it really wasn't there. So I loaned to a couple friends. They were traveling. They needed a suitcase.

And so they came back. I was, how the suitcase? Great. All right. I feel like that needs to be disclosed. No, it was scrubbed. It's like if somebody pees in your car and then wants to borrow your car, as long as you scrubbed, who cares?

It's fine. Good to go. That's right. But my dog owes me. Yeah. Anyway, go ahead. I have the top baby names that parents Google to see if they're appropriate. Rona.

No. As in Cah. Rona. Didn't make it. Nirvana. That's your favorite band, right? Who would name their kid Nirvana though? No, it's not my favorite band, but it's a band that I like back in the 90s.

But that's a dumb name for a kid. Because also when you reach Nirvana, it's like when you are able to elevate inside of, you know, a mental place. Oh, is that what that means? Yeah, like if you reach the state of nirvana, right? That means you're at a higher place. Like you've so. Why do I always just think of the band? But you're right.

That is a word. It's a word, word. Yeah. It's a state of mind. Didn't realize that. It's like ecstasy. Or not? Kind of.

Okay. Okay. What else? Lucifer. Oh, gosh. We'll pass on that one. But to counter that. If I met a kid name.

Lucifer? Yeah, what are your parents? And why did nobody call CPS? Okay, but also people look up Jesus, heaven, and God. Jesus, though, boom. Jesus. Jesus, I get Uber Eats delivered from Jesus about one third and four days. You know what the nickname for Jesus is? Chewy. Why? Really? Yeah, most Chewys are named Hesuze. Well, why Robert and Bobby? Exactly. Why? It should be Robbie. It should be Robbie, not Bobby.

I just was curious if there really was a reason why. Don't know. Also, Dr. Cinderella and Batman round out the list. Hold on. Don't just roll over those. Doctor. Funny. I like doctor. Like Doc. Doc's fine. Yeah. Doc. Okay. I probably wouldn't do it, but Doc Martin, not a doctor, I don't think. Cinderella? That's too many syllables. Even if you like the thing. That's like Cindy, you go with... Wait a second. Is Cindy short for Cinderella?

Cynthia, I think. Oh, dang, you're right. I think. And what was the other one? Batman? Yeah, that one rolls. All right, go ahead. What else? According to Billboard, Garth Brooks is working with Metro Nashville Police to open up a little police station across the street from his friends in low places bar. So that way he can help keep downtown Nashville safe. But I think it's so he can keep the riffraff out of his bar. And be like lock them up, just put them in there.

I picture it kind of like what do they call those things, like a drunk tank. Oh yeah, the drunk tanks. I mean, I think that would be good for down there. I'm down there occasionally for work. I would like a police presence. like a central police presence. And if Garth wants to fund that and make that happen? Like Garth is the downtown sheriff?

Garth is the warden. Yes. Oh my gosh, yeah. He gets to make the decision. Wow. Yeah, he gets to let people in and out. That's right. And once they get put in, it's like Andy Griffith show where it's a little jail right there.

And when you walk down Broadway, you see them in the little jail. That's cool, man. That's really cool. I feel like some people might want to get in there on purpose. Tell me, that's not legit. Yeah. Yeah. and then you could put country music stars in there.

Oh. Yeah, exactly. Like the ones that act up? I don't know. Well, didn't the ones I don't like. I was thinking of them being in there because they're on Broadway. Didn't Kenny Chesney and Tim McGrawl get in trouble on Broadway once? Oh, they punched a horse.

That's a whole thing. But yeah. Yeah, I don't think a, it was a copse horse. Oh. Yeah, so cops were already there. I forget that. By the way, let's see Nirvana. A transcendent state in which there is neither suffering, desire, nor sense of self.

And the subject is released from the effects of karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. What on earth? Like I told you, it's an elevated mind space. Yeah, yeah, there you go. All right. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay at home there's something good. The terrible floods of Kentucky left breathe-it high school without any football equipment, nowhere to play football. So who's going to help them? But their cross-town rival. That's right. The principal at Madison found out that they had no football field, no equipment.

He was like, guys, even though there are rivals and we don't like them that much, we got to help them out. So he went to the local church. They did donations. And every kid on the football team got $6,000 in gift cards so they could go buy new equipment. And now they're practicing at Madison's High School. Wow, that's cool.

And I love that for now. I definitely can see it in a year from now, maybe two years. One of the players hits the other, knocks him down. He's like, yeah, you know, took care of you last year. We did. Oh, then the rivalry. It was back again. For now, no rivalry.

friendship rules and looking out for others, but you know that's coming up. You know it's coming up in a year. All right, that really is a great story. That is what it's all about.
