Morning studio. Morning. Let me put on first Caitlin in Kansas, who has called us. Hey, Caitlin, good morning. How are you? Good, how are you? Pretty good. What can I help you with? So I'm a college freshman and I just started going to therapy and I was wondering how I should tell my mom I'm going. Why do you worry that it will be an issue if you tell your mom?

My mom and I don't have a really good relationship and I'm afraid that if I tell her she doesn't want to know what we're talking about. I think it's fair to think that because you probably will, honestly, but it's not her right to know what you talk about. I think I would approach it as, and again, I never knew what therapy was growing up. I grew up in a small town in Arkansas. We didn't have any money. You weren't trying to worry about therapy. You were trying to eat. So I know what it's like to have to get into something brand new.

It has been extremely valuable for me. But I would approach it to go, hey, mom, I've been doing something really cool. Like, I feel like I can improve the relationship with us and I can be a better daughter, family member, sister, student by going to therapy and it's really been productive. And if she asked, well, what do you talk about? You can say all that. I say, we talk about a lot of things, how I can be better at XYZ. Make it very you-centric and not about your mom so she doesn't feel like that she's the victim here.

But I think it is a conversation you'll have to have. It'll be a little bit uncomfortable. It was uncomfortable for me to talk with my family because they were like, all right, fancy city boy. You do it therapy. You're wasting your money on that. But a little bit of uncomfortable. is okay. So that's how I would suggest that you approach that, Caitlin. Perfect. Thank you. Let us know how it goes if you feel like calling us back. Amy,

anything you'd like to say to that? No, I just agree. I think you can be transparent with her, but she doesn't need to know every detail, but that you're, you're realizing some stuff about yourself and you want to put in the work to be better. It's nobody's right to know what you talk about. Right. Whenever you're talking to your priest, your preacher, your therapist, your counselor, there are parts of our world that nobody should have the right to know what's going on except for you and the person you've decided to make that between. So, Caitlin, good for you. We applaud that and good luck.

And I hope it leads to some, you know, healthier years. Thank you. All right, Caitlin, see you later. Bye. Bye, bye. Ray Mundo, what was the situation that happened to you? Yeah, so I went to a barbecue joint and it's one of those where you go up to the cash register on your own. you order the food, get your own condiments, you get your own utensils, you also get your own drink.

Basically do everything your own, the only thing that they're going to do for you is bringing your food. So it's not like a real weight staff that's there. So we go ahead and we pay and then they give us the iPad. And on the options, it said like 20%, 15%, 10 and 5, I didn't really even see an option to not tip. So I knew they weren't really doing anything. So I tipped 5%. and I was wondering, how would you guys tip that? If you're basically doing all the work at this restaurant,

they don't even refill your drinks. They literally just bring you your food. Is that tip worthy? I would think first of all, there would be an option, even if it's at the bottom and it's slight that says no tip. And that's up to you, right? This is not an establishment where tips are expected because they're doing a bunch of extra work.

Welcomeed, appreciated, but not expected. I don't think there's anything wrong with what you do. did, especially if you're going to eat and you only have so much money because you know if you go into a restaurant, if you go to Alback Steakhouse, you know you got to add the tip before you even go. So in your head, you need to have enough money to buy the meal and put the tip on there. But if you're going to a barbecue place where there is no expectation of a tip because there isn't a waiter and you get in and you only have so much money, they're just SOL. Yeah, you might be going to eat there because of that.

However, if you do have it and you can hit it, I always say to hit it. Because for me, when people would overtit me, I would appreciate it so much. I don't think there's anything wrong with what you did, by the way. I think if that's what you want to do and you feel good with, there you go. If you said you did 5% in a restaurant, it would be a different story. And I only did 5% because the line was long

and people were all looking at me funny, and I literally couldn't find the no tip. So I just had to go with five. I'm okay with what you did. Don't feel bad about it. Yeah! There's a W on the board for Ray already this morning. The popularity of the mailbag?

Just growing. People love it. People are sending so many emails. We love reading them. We love helping you out. 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 Bone, she writes. My name is Holly. I'm from Wyoming. I need help on an issue that I currently have with my roommate. I've been living with this roommate for over six months. Things are starting to get frustrating. I'm 26.

She's 23. She has not been chipping in or doing her fair share of the work to keep the place up. I've only been the one to clean up for a couple of months. I unload the dishwasher, even if it's her dishes. I clean her leftovers, old food, so on, on and on. My issue is that while she's still living here and using the place, she should be helping clean and take responsibility instead of dumping everything on me.

My poor boyfriend even cleaned up her dog's poop in our apartment patio because she wouldn't. She's not a horrible human, but I'm over-cleaning up her messes and only being the responsible and how do I handle it. I'm also just trying to make it through as my boyfriend and I are looking for a place and I will be moving in with him at the end of our lease. I don't want to make her hate me

but I almost don't care. Please help, thanks, Holly. It's tough. I had a roommate, I got in so much trouble back in the day because I would call her the devil on the air. I didn't know her. I moved, when I moved to Austin, 22 years old, I had a friend of a friend who was like, hey, I have a friend who needs a roommate,

she's already living there. And I was like, great. So she was looking for a place, I was looking for a place. We were like, hey, we, You know this person? Yep, moved in. I lived on the bottom part of the apartment. She lived on the top. We might have had five conversations ever. But I would on the air be like, you know what the devil was like today? I would just call it the devil all the time. Was she just mean? Well, no, but it was like if I ate some of the bread, there would be like you owe 42 cents for bread.

Oh, my. It was very much like that. And I'm sure I was no peach. But we never saw each other because I worked nights. And I was getting home at 5 in the morning and then sleeping and then going back to work. So there was, but it was that weird thing where if I used mustard and it was like, you owe 27. And I was like, dang, this is crazy. I was probably a little too harsh with the devil stuff.

Yeah, I was like, you didn't think that it. Called her Lucifer. From 22 to 32, I was bonkers on the air. Yes, I know. I was absolutely insane. We've heard the things you've done. Yeah. And Amy experience a lot of them.

Let's throw it. Yeah. That being said, you got to get out. You're not going to change her. Yeah. But I know she's probably not a horrible person, but it is pretty bad to have your dog use the restroom on the patio and not be willing to pick it up. Like, I might file that under close to horrible. Yeah, that's a pretty bad person.

But a messy person is not a bad person. No. But someone who disregards other people, even when they know it's an issue. Right. Then it starts to... So here's what I say. You need to have that conversation. Hey, this is what I'm doing.

Is there any way you can help? She's going to temporarily either be offended and help a little bit or not be offended and help a little bit, but it's not going to last. You have a lied at the end of the tunnel. Right. Get out. You have your way out. She's not your best friend forever.

She's like, she's not. Go away. Get your lease. No, you're going to have to do the heavy lifting and do the heavy lifting and then get out of town. You know, sometimes though, like people just need to, to be told, like they, it's, maybe it's for whatever reason not dawning on her that it's an issue not to pick it up. So I do think if you can have a thoughtful conversation and just give her a heads up, maybe, maybe you've done it before one last time, it'll sink in. And then she might realize like, oh yeah, maybe I should pick that up.

And then if she doesn't, then that's when. I just leave a note on the fridge. What? Yeah. Is that, you don't think it deserves an actual conversation? Depends to how much you like her. It sounded like she wants to be her friend. Okay. There is some communication that needs to be had, but it's not going to fix it forever.

It's just a band-aid. Because she just lives like this. And her roommate, whenever she finally gets married or with someone, they're going to have to deal with that. I feel like roommate notes are kind of passive-aggressive. We used to do roommate confessions when Lunchbox and Ray lived together. Yeah. For how long? A year, one year. And Ray never came out of his room.

He didn't watch one TV show with me the entire year. We didn't watch a football game, a basketball game, nothing. Did you guys not like you? other? He just did he was scared of my dogs. Is that what it was? A little bit yeah and I didn't want to get hair all over myself so I just stayed to my quarters honestly. And didn't you just have a mattress on the floor? No, no no, I had a queen. What? Come on, dude. On the floor? What was his room like? It was a box spring in the mattress and then he had a TV and he had a video game system and he had his, he didn't have a chest or drawers or anything. He just had his clothes in like little boxes.

It was the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. He's a bachelor. I mean, I mean, I I had an awesome recliner. I had a 60-inch TV. What else you need in your room? He bought that TV with a tax return. He got a tax return, and then he traded all of his tax return in for Amazon bucks or something, right? Yep.

And then bought a TV with it. Exactly. Got an Xbox, had a mini-fridge. Why would I need to leave? True. Was Ray the worst roommate you ever had? No. By far no.

I mean, my roommate in college, when I lived there, he was like 21 years old. dorm and he would tell me I can't come in past 10 o'clock and he wanted to unplug the phone at night and he was like if you're going to stay out late you need to check in I'm like dude you're 21 years we're in college get out of my life yeah and why are you living at the dorms at 21 years old you're weird I like the dorms I didn't live there at 21 years old come on man like go out and do something that was his option and maybe he got it paid for by the school right whenever I was a freshman my best friend in high school at the time and I moved in together into the dorm

and I just came home one day and he's gone Didn't tell me he's leaving Packed up all's crap and left Because I was I guess was a bit like Lunchbox's roommate where I wasn't like it But I was like man I have to go to sleep I have to wake up at 7 o'clock for classes

I worked all night I didn't get home to one or two in the morning And I was like can we not have parties in the room Can we just keep it a little quieter? And so we're friends again now But we didn't talk for a few years He was like I just remember coming home And I was like the half the room was

Completely empty I was like this is weird What's going on? on. And then I got maybe a text like two days later. Hey, I moved to somebody else. What the crap just happened here? In the end, Holly, thank you for your note.

You're going to have to do the heavy lifting until you move out. Just look forward to moving out. Have a conversation, but she is not going to change. That's our note. That's the mailbag. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's time to close Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Morgan, if they want to email the mailbag,

The five most fun facts. Found on the internet by Amy this week. Let's go. Number five. So people who were not born blind but later lost their eyesight, They're still able to see in their dreams. But obviously people that were born blind, they don't see anything when they dream.

Never thought about that. Well, it's because they saw it at some point, so they have an image of what it is. And their brain still has that. Number four. Talking third person? No. No?

Bobby doesn't, no. So, but here's the deal. When people talk to themselves in the third person, they are able to better control their thoughts, feelings, and behavior. This is from an intense research study. I think there's a difference in talking to yourself and then talking about yourself in third person. But it would be like if you messed up, you'd be like, come on, Bobby. Come on, Bobby.

I just don't say my own name. I don't say my own name. I just talk to myself. Dang it, Amy. I don't either. I will be like, come on, you got to do this. Suck it up. But I don't say suck it up, Bobby.

I know. But according to this, you should start talking to yourself and saying your name. Okay. I'll do that, Bobby. Remember do that, Bobby. Okay, you got it. Drug Lord Pablo Escobar, he got to build his own prison at one point in time. It featured a soccer field, a giant dollhouse, a bar, a jacuzzi, and a waterfall.

I'm assuming the dollhouse is like his daughter or something? His kids, yeah. Because he could have, I think, family over for dinner. I mean, he wasn't in prison. This was, he was sentenced to jail. This was a narcote. It was in the show, yeah. The whole team would come over, like the national team to play soccer.

They were having full-on parties in there. Yeah. Now, that's the prison I wouldn't mind. That's COVID for me. I got to live in my own house that I love and didn't leave for a lot of time. Yeah, but that's not the case for El Chapo. He's in jail jail. Yeah.

In 2017, Despacito became the first song that's primarily in a foreign language to hit number one since Macarena, which was back in 1996. Kids don't even know how big this song was. Despacito had Justin Bieber Macarena had a dance Yeah And no American artist Singing it Or Canadian artist

English speaking artist Yeah Macarena No it's just Two Spanish dudes right But they ended up being An American version And the sea

Yeah Or some girl would come on Really? Yeah yeah yeah We definitely mess that song up too You know how we as American song We gotta slap our own style on it All right

So I've had a little bit more to this fact So it took 20 years for that to happen. Do you know the one that hit number one before Macarena? La Bamba? Yeah. How'd you know that? Nice. Okay.

La Bamba in 1987. It's like the easiest question ever been asked on this show. Wait, La Bamba in 1987? It must have been the Richie Valens version. From the movie. Los Lobos. Yeah, Los Lobos. Got it.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. All right, there you go. Can I hit the button now? You may. Number one. This is crazy to me. The last shot of the Civil War was fired on June.

June 28, 1865. That's almost two months after the war ended off the coast of Alaska. See, a Confederate warship was out there and they hadn't gotten word yet that the war was over. No one told them. Yes, and they destroyed 24 union boats. They were still going. So that was officially the end of the war. Isn't that crazy?

I've read books about in Asia how some of these guys will go and they'll live in like the woods or jungles and they're fighting the war, but they don't know it's over because no one gets to them to go, hey, the war's over, so they're still, like, living underground in the woods, like, doing, killing people. They need to send a messenger and tell them, hey.

But how do you find them? He probably, you're probably going to kill them. That's true. Literally, we'll kill the messenger. Yeah, crazy, huh? Yeah. There you go. I don't know if that's that fun.

I don't know. I didn't end in a fun. I didn't know. I didn't find a great fun about that one. Fun facts are sometimes just really interesting to where, you know, if you're ever playing a trivia game, it might be cool that you know that.

Because, I mean, it could come up. Oh, you're playing something. It's like, what year did, when did World War? Or what is the Civil War end? If you would ask me that, I would say the Appomattochordhouse, and that would be the right answer, right? Yeah. Like, that's where the final.

Then you could argue. Oh, and I will. Oh, boy. And I will. Well, actually. You guys know me. I will. And then they may ask you your resource.

You say me. And they're like, nope. All right, there you go. Close it up. Fun fact Friday. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox Tell me something good

A cop in Maryland was on patrol When all of a sudden he heard a boom Boom! He hears a crash And he's like, man, that's somewhere right around here Drives around and there's an SUV That had loft left the roadway Crash through a fence into a pond

And there's two adults, two kids He jumps in the water Boom, boom Breaks the window Pulls the nine month old Pulls the toddler out Takes them to shore Gets back in there with a buddy

I mean, just imagine. You get to the car and there's a nine-month-old baby trapped in there, a toddler, two adults sinking in a pond. I mean, who. There's so many layers. He heard a crash, found it. Exactly.

How do you hear it? Well, it made a noise and it got to your ears. Yeah, I know. But is he sitting there with the windows down? Is he just chilling? Is he, you know, turned down the music for a moment? and he just happens to hear it. Like how, I mean, I guess wrecks are kind of loud.

Air Tasker. Get anything done? Ask anyone who's done it. They don't say, I went on a zipline. They say, Slotzilla. Vegas's most iconic zip line. 11 stories above Fremont Street. Five blocks of flight over the neon heart of Old Vegas. The crowds, the music, the whole electric original below.

Slotzilla. At Fremont Street Experience. It's not a ride. It's the vagus story you'll tell forever. Search Fremont Street experience to book your flight. The Babbonne Show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So Caroline Bryan, Luke's wife, was having a bad day.

And so Luke Bryan decided to take matters into his own hands. And he put on some Huey Lewis and they slow dance in hopes that he could cheer her up. John's having a bad morning. We're dancing and out. Interesting song choice. Oh, Hughie Lewis. Listen, the news? What is that?

This is it? This is it? Yes. This is it? Please tell me. I think that's so cute. And Caroline later said that, you know, she was totally grumpy and he annoyed her until she was laughing and it works every time.

That's how he pulls her out of a bad mood. So, Bobby, the question is... Food. I take her food. Yeah. If she's in a bad mood, it's because she hasn't eaten. So I give her food. That's the answer, always.

No slow dancing. It's food. Isn't that amazing that people get into a bad mood over food? If she doesn't eat, she gets cranky. Or if I don't need, it starts to feel pretty good about myself. I'm like, you know. Oh, gosh. All right, what else?

Okay, so you've heard of the sperminator dude. We've talked about him. He's fathered more than 70 children. That's his main thing. What a crazy name. It's like Captain America. Iron Man, the sperminator. Actually, he's got 77 children out there, and he was recently on Dr. Oz.

And here they are talking about it. You know, I have 77 children. That's true. but then you look at the three women that we just saw on the screen and they don't have 77 children. For them, it's about them having their first child or their second child. So it's not so much. Don't focus on me. You more focus on them who just, they want to have a family.

Yeah, he's just helping women have a family. No, he is. A lot of them. He is. I think there's, listen, I'm just going to do a little amateur psychosis. Okay. Psychological evaluation. He probably wants him to be out there more, right?

There's probably something inside him that's like, I need to produce more of me's. Yeah, I want a lot of me's out there. However, I do think it is also for the women. Yeah, but I think. He's not actually doing it with them. Oh, no. If I'm a woman and I'm going that route,

I want to ask the sperm bank, like, can you tell me how many babies this dad that I'm choosing has fathered? I don't think they can tell you that. Oh. Yeah. That's not information you can know? No, I don't think so.

It's your birthing a baby that, okay, I guess the number could always be changing. I'd like to know what he had for dinner on March 3rd, 1987. Well, I would want to know how many siblings my baby's going to have out there. But I don't know they would even know. Yeah, okay. I don't know they keep up with it all the way to birth. Well, and then you might, he might father way more after you. So the number will always be changing.

So if you're feeling really bad about something, health experts are saying that you should let yourself feel down. Feel those emotions because if you beat yourself up about it or you force yourself to quote, snap out of it, then you will end up feeling worse because you never healed from it. You just buried it down and it could manifest as negative emotions that come up later. So make sure you feel all the emotions, even the bad ones. Okay. Well, right now I feel like I have to go to the bathroom, so we're going to hit the end of this

clip here and go to the bathroom. I'm just going to go right now. Is that it? Yes, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy.

Well, dad of the year here. So there's this little four-year-old girl, Everly, and she's had open heart surgery. In fact, throughout her life, she's had eight surgeries on her chest. Again, she's only four. So she has this scar. They call it her zipper scar where they go in and, like, work on her from time to time. And her dad, Matt, he was worried that she was going to be self-conscious about it. He doesn't have any tattoos.

Well, because he never really had a reason to go get one until now. So on his own, just him. went to the tattoo parlor, got a zipper tattooed on his chest, and now Everly is definitely not alone. It's awesome. Yeah, she actually is like, oh, dad, you copied me. So, very cute. That's cool.

It makes her feel too like she's not alone. Yes, exactly. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Amy, do you think attractive couples have attractive kids usually? Have you seen Jason Aldeen and Brittany Aldean's babies? Okay. Listen, I love Jason.

He's not a supermodel, though. Well, I don't, they have the most beautiful. They're good looking, though, and they have the most beautiful children in the world. She's very pretty. Yeah. But I thought that that would be a good example. I thought that would be a good example. Listen, I'm no beauty queen.

I'm like Aldine. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, their babies, very pretty. Yes. Listen, I would say that, you know, if when Caitlin and I have a kid, that if it's pretty, it's because of her, not because of me. It's fair enough. And I would say Al Dean's kid, not because of him. Hopefully it has like his singing ability Like grit

Attitude But you kind of hope We talk We're like You know don't you wonder What side of the genetics Because I you know If

If let's just say We have a kid If it has her athleticism And my Nurtiness The kid's gonna have it all However if it has my athleticism It's not gonna be very good

Although she's really smart So Yeah yeah yeah Scientists say the children who have beautiful parents, like physically attractive parents, have a 70% likelihood of being attractive too. Cindy Crawford's kid? She looks just like stunning. Yeah, she looks like, well, her name is, because her last name is not Crawford.

And she's also one of those kids that's always on E now, like E the E Instagram feed. And another Gwyneth's daughter, Apple, beautiful. I mean, and Chris Martin, what do you think of him? Great looking guy. Yeah. Well, pretty good, pretty good. Hold on, hold on. Good looking guy for a nerdy guy.

Like, he's got the, he's a good looking nerdy guy. You want to go over and do the joke? Yeah. The morning corny. What do you call a man with no arms and no legs on stage? What do you call a man with no arms and no legs on stage? Mike. Mike on stage.

Microphone. No arms. Is that funny? Yeah, I thought I was. Like this one, we've done this one before. What do you call a man with no arms and no legs at the front of your door? Oh, what? Matt. And then Bob floating in the water.

A bobber. It's the wall, art. Mike. Oh, I've never heard of art. These are all really good bones. Maybe this one just doesn't tickle me in the right spot. All right, close that up. I mean, oh.

That was the morning corny. conversation with Chris Stapleton. I love when Chris comes on. Hey Chris, how are you? Hey, brother Bobby. How are you? I am good. You know, I was listening to Starting Over as I was driving into work this morning. And I always love to talk to the songwriter. And that is you. You wrote this with Mike Henderson.

That's true. In the process of this record, what point did starting over get written, you know, when you're putting songs? And then what was, you're in the room thinking about concepts. Like, how did starting over, how did that come about? In my process with Mike as I show up about 8 o'clock in the evening at his house, we have a few cocktails and talk about life. And this particular evening we were talking about, you know, times in life when you have to kind of start over, either by choice or, you know, kind of life kind of presents that to you. And but also the fact that there's hope in that, you know, there's a hope in a new beginning and a hope and getting to travel down the road, you know, hopefully to some. something better, even if you don't know what that is.

And so the song kind of was born from there and kind of started from line one and went to the end. When you have a song with a concept, do you write the hook, like the chorus first? Do sometimes you start with the, you're like, this is the first line of the song and you work from there. What's the writing process like for you? It just depends. It can be any different way.

You know, like, yeah, sometimes I do have a title and you write from a concept. way. But I think we were just kind of thinking about starting over as a general concept, maybe not as a title. But sometimes, you know, sometimes you start, like I said, you start, I'm a strum and hum kind of guy, you know, most of the time, and then you hum a melody and what's that feel like, and it gives you kind of direct, you find some words and some mumbling, and those words lead to other words, and before you know it, you have a song. And that's generally the way that that works for me. I've done it many different ways. I've written an entire songs over top of lyrics that were already there.

I've written songs from I dreamed a chorus and, you know, walked into a writing room with a chorus, you know. So those kind of things, you just kind of have to walk through the doors. You know, just around town I'd see you'd come to events and you, you know, you drove this old truck and you'd park it outside the venue at the Riemann once you came and I was very lucky to have you come play a show with us. And you drove your old truck and you parked it there. Do you still drive that old truck?

Well, I don't know what I was driving at the time. I do have an old Jeep that I drive around sometimes. It just got back from getting restored. So, yeah, I'll drive it around whenever I can. It's one of my favorite things to drive. Are you like an old school guy where you like to drive the old truck because of what it means to you? Or are you a guy?

Do you have a big jacked-up F-150 with all the bells and whistles, too? No, I don't have anything like that. I like cars, though. I like all kinds of cars and trucks and things like that. So, but, you know, we have farm trucks at the farm and, you know, things that do work. But, no, I don't have like a super fancy truck necessarily. What happens at the Stapleton farm? What happens at the Stapleton Farm?

We take care of babies. It's a baby farm. Is Morgan there with you? She's right here, yeah. Oh, tell her I said hello and I love her. I always want to acknowledge when she's with you because she is so good. She's right here. He says you're so good. And he wants to acknowledge that you're with me. Hey, Bobby.

I feel like people miss out sometimes when I're talking to Chris because Morgan's right there. And I love Chris, but I love Morgan. Like equally her own powerhouse of an artist and singer. And they'll sit there and people, well, it's like they'll look at Morgan, but it's like, you guys, you're missing out on the whole package here. They're both right here in front of you. They're both amazing. So, yeah, I want to acknowledge her being with you, of course. All right. Coming up next, you guys may not know this. Chris Stapleton was balladict toying at his high school. I'm curious to know what was the plan as you're the number one senior in high school.

Was it to do music? Were you doing something smart? And what I heard you dreamt a chorus to a song. I want to know about that too. That is coming up next.

I watch your career and, you know, I look at the lyrics of your songs and I don't do that with many people. I have trouble remembering things. You know, when you write songs, have you ever, like, written a line in a song and you go back and you go, wait, I already wrote that line in a different song. Because you have, has that ever happened to you where you double up at all? Well, sure. There's only so many words in the English language. And just like there are only so many notes on a guitar, you know, you probably borrow from yourself more than, you. You try not to recycle too much, but, you know, you can, if you want to, there's some good things that there's good images that are worth using over and over.

That's the reason there's so many songs with angels in them, you know, like it's not, it's not a, it's not something to necessarily shy away from borrowing from yourself. Although I think, you know, one time John Fogarty got sued by his own song one time. So you've got to watch that kind of stuff. But it's kind of weird. to think about. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I've definitely probably borrowed for myself both intentionally and unintentionally. It's just trying to find different ways to say similar things or express similar feelings.

Am I right about that? Sure. Or you're looking for, you know, maybe a common feeling that you haven't heard a lot about. You know, that's the other quest is to, you know, put the human condition into a song that we all have these shared experience. and, you know, love and heartbreak are the common ones, but there's many, many other ones, small ones that are worth examining and certainly worth connecting with people over. You were valedictorian of your high school class. When you were graduating high school, what was the goal as valedictorian as the smart guy? What did you want to go do?

I went to school briefly to be a biomedical engineer. Why is she laughing, Chris? I don't know. I think she, I don't know why she's laughing. But that's what I did briefly. I like that. I don't know why she's laughing either. Then I went to business school for a minute. Clearly neither one of those things took. But yeah, I like it. Okay. All these Grammys you have.

Do you put them on display in your house or are they somewhere in like a storage unit? I haven't seen some of them. I put them, we take them on, when we're touring, we put them on the road. And there's a ticket you can buy that has like a walk-through kind of VIP thing that is for the people. Those belong to the people to me. So I haven't seen them directly myself. But all those awards, I think, belong to the fans. And I want them to see them.

I don't make a trophy room to myself at my house or anything. So is it weird that I have a shrine to you at my house? No, not at all. Okay. You're allowed to do that. Good, good, good. That's totally cool. And I have a shrine to you at mine.

So that's okay. Okay, good. I appreciate that. Chris Stapleton's on with us. You dreamed a chorus. What song was that? And do they think you're nutty when you walk in and go, guys, you're not going to believe this. Yeah, Parachute was actually a chorus that I dreamed.

I woke up from a dream and had dreamed the entire chorus to Parachute. And I walked into a writing appointment with Jim Beaverston said, you're going to think I'm crazy. But I dreamed this chorus last night. We should write this song. And so, and that's what that song is. Do you wake up after you dream it and in the middle of the night kind of jot down? Or can you just hold on to it? Because half my dreams, I don't even remember when I wake up.

I have very few dreams. I can count them on one hand that I remember. And that's one of them. So I don't remember dreams, hardly ever. Yeah, do you think it's like God reaching out while you're sleeping and going, hey, I know you don't dream much, but let me give you the gift of this song? Well, maybe. I read an article that says you don't sleep very good if you don't remember your dreams.

So I think there's probably some kind of a sleep deprivation that prevents me. from remembering dreams. There he is, my friend and yours. Our musical hero, Chris Stabley. Chris, thank you so much for the time. We love you, buddy. Yeah, man. So lunchbox, you and your wife

for sleeping in separate rooms? Yeah, I woke up two days in a row and my wife's gone. She's out of the bed and I looked there and I went downstairs. I'm like, hey, what's going on? She goes, you have started snoring and you're keeping me up at night.

Wait, you didn't always snore? Nah, I've never snored my life, so I don't believe her. There's no way I snore. Why would I be snoring all the sudden? And she recorded me while I was sleeping. It's crazy that you've never snored and now you've started. Are you like sinus up?

Maybe that's what it is. Maybe there's some allergies going on. I don't know, but I've never snored in my life. And this has never been a problem. And she was like, it's so loud. You wake me up and I had to go downstairs because I couldn't sleep. Okay, here we go. Here is lunchbox snoring.

You breathe really fast too. That's like a guy. Because I sleep with my mouth open. So maybe that's why it sounds. so loud. I don't know, but I've never snored my life, and that is what she got from me sleeping, and that's why she went downstairs. Does it sound like his snores are pretty rapid? I was hearing like a drill, like a... Here it. Let's hear it again, Ray? Like, I don't feel like you're giving enough time to exhale.

It's like, uh, huh, huh. Yeah, like, something's up. You should go to the doctor. Something's going on. Oh, I hope they put one of those big machines on you. No. No, I don't want to wear that mask. No way. Some people do. Would you do a sleep study? Yeah, I mean, I guess. I don't even know what that means, but what do they do? They watch you sleep and they write down notes or what? You get naked and they record you. Well, because they want to make sure they want to look at your whole body.

Yeah, to be natural. You don't even get a blanket. You lay on a rubber mattress naked and they watch you sleep. Wouldn't you, I mean, they got to put it at a good temperature then because you're going to be freezing. They do. They put the temperature at what your desire is, but you have to be naked while you do it. There's wires everywhere, so. Yeah, clubs get in the way.

Yeah. I mean, if that's what I... I mean, I'll do it if that's what I need to do. Like, does it sound that bad? It sounds unhealthy, yeah. Especially if it's not normal for you. That means there's something going on. One more time from the top, Ray.

It's very, it's very wet. Still going. Yeah, it feels like when we'd start the flat bottom, we had a little evernur on the back of it. It's not turning, man. Do you feel like this is... age lunchbox? Maybe you do start snoring with age, but if I'm snoring that loud that I'm

keeping her up, that's a problem. Yeah, it's got to be something happening to your body right now. Do you think, I'll ask you this question, I saw it in the news, I'll ask all you guys, do you think you peeked already? What age do you think people peek at, Amy? Oh, I mean, I feel like I still have... Oh boy.

Oh, boy. Let's be honest. Okay, fine. I peaked probably at like 33. But I just turned 40 and I feel good Kind of. It would feel kind of good. If you think you haven't peaked yet. No.

No, feel free to say that. We're just giving you a hard time. No. I know. I'm in denial. I peaked earlier. When do you think you peaked? Probably 35.

Okay. I'll go right in the middle between 30 and 40. Eddie? Yeah, the peak has come and gone, my friends. 35 is kind of probably when I'm. I was like just flying high. I was in shape. Bones, you helped me get in shape.

I was feeling really good. My body didn't ache. Now, I mean, dude, I'm in physical pain 24-7. Most people think that the peak age is like 37 or so. Okay. Lunchbox, when did you peak? I would say probably 24, 25. I mean, that was when I was my, at my peak of partying.

I was able to drink the most I ever had. Looking good, probably the best I've ever looked at my life. look great, but I mean, just the women factor that I had around me and just every, like, athletic... But you're married now. If you weren't married, you'd still have women around you. You're right, but I wouldn't have as many, I don't think. You're right.

So I would say 24-25 was when I was really just ban, that's when the peak was. I think I'm peaking right now. Is that possible? Yeah. Well, how come you can peak now and I can't? No, you said you hadn't gotten there yet. You said you hadn't gotten there yet, Amy. That's ridiculous. You still had a few years.

Like I think right now I'm in my peak and I see that it could not be peaking soon so I'm taking advantage of it. Like this is my last run to probably be in pretty good shape as like in general.

I don't want to be in good shape I'll be in good shape for an older guy eventually. But I have all my hair still which is great. I think I'm peaking right now. Career-wise, life-wise, this is it for me. I give it about another 18 months and we'll start slipping down.

I'm going down now. Yeah, yeah. But do you disagree, Amy? I get, no, I feel like you have a lot going on right now. So this is, peek away. Why are you hating right now? I'm not hating right now. You have a hater tone right now.

No, I don't. I just, I hadn't really thought about it. But I guess, yeah. Now she's depressed. This ruined her whole week. You're peaking. We've all, you're peaking now. We've all peaked.

Lungewock's peaked in his joint. That he's coming out a long time ago. Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead. No hurry up the day. This story comes us from Pennsylvania. A 22-year-old man was looking for a job when he saw the pizza place said, Now hiring. He went inside, said, hey, man, can I get an application?

Filled it out, handed it to the worker, then pulled out a knife, and stole the tip jar. Only problems is he had filled out the application, so they had his name. I knew that was coming. I knew that was coming. And he let his backpack with his ID in it. I mean, could he be any worse at this? I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. All right, we're doing our show from the Sonic Drive-In Studio on Music Row. It's the Bobby Bone Show.

It's so hard to say goodbye to another week. How about that? Is that good or no? It's pretty good. Thank you. Mom hit a lottery $78,000 jackpot because she forgot how old her kid was. Huh. You know how you pick on years and dates and stuff?
