Now, let's go around the room. He's a graduate from Sam Houston State. And lately, he's been working out with me because he said he wants to lose a little bit of weight.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Here he is. Producer Ready, everybody. Let's go. Hey, so the other day we had a photo shoot. Well, Bobby had a photo shoot. And I just kind of like crashed it. Well, we did some raging idiots pictures. Yeah, but it was mainly your stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:34 And I was just watching you do the photo shoot. I'm like, man, Bobby's become such a pro at this. Like, because when I do the picture of bones, I only know like two poses. I smile big, put my hands in my pockets. You, dude, you have, like, a reaction or, like, a pose for everything. I'm mad. I'm happy. Hey, look at me.
Starting point is 00:02:50 I'm cute. I'm adorable. I'll kill you. Oh. You thought he was cute and adorable? I appreciate that. No, no, no, no. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:02:56 I didn't want to see adorable? This is my adorable. Wow. Look at that. Is that adorable? Thank you, buddy. Hey, do you. Here, are you making fun to me or are you?
Starting point is 00:03:05 No, no, no. I'm being honest. And, like, I'm saying, how did you learn that? Obviously, that's not, like, natural for you. I'm very good at photo shoots because I hate them. I've learned what they need to get from me so I can get the heck out of there. We did like seven, what they called looks,
Starting point is 00:03:19 clothes changes. We did it in like two hours. Which usually it's like two hours for one. Yeah. But I know exactly what, let's go. I got adorable, down. Got cute, down, angry. I got it all.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Pensive? But I don't like photo shoots. Well, you're pretty good. The guy was really good and we kept waiting to get in with him. So thank you. I appreciate that. The reason I'm so good is because I hate doing it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:40 I'm not good. I'm efficient. Very efficient in photoshoots. Hey, just know that I'm taking notes when you were doing. I'm like, ooh, I got to work on my anger. Show me you're adorable. Oh, that is adorable. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Very adorable, huh, guys? Oh, yeah. That is good. Thank you. I'm working on it. This next person thinks he should have been rewarded from a restaurant recently, but the best part was he was trying to convince us that he has moral decency. Here he is.
Starting point is 00:03:59 Lunchbox, everybody. Don't understand what that intro, what it means. Didn't you try to steal something from a restaurant? You tell them your kids, like. Oh, no, no, they broke a light in the light. in the light sign and then I lectured them about having those light signs available where kids could grab the light bulbs.
Starting point is 00:04:14 But then you wanted a reward? I wanted a free dinner. But your kids broke the light. Yeah, but they put it in a dangerous situation. But now, okay. But didn't you, I don't, did you tell us your kids actually broke the light or the light was broken?
Starting point is 00:04:24 No, no, I told you they broke it. They broke it. I gave you the options of what did I do? You wanted a reward for your kids breaking a light? Yeah, yeah, because they made a dangerous situation by putting that light sign available where kids are running around. I gave you the options to choose.
Starting point is 00:04:36 What did I do? Did I say nothing? and just threw the light bulb away and all that. I remember the bit. Yeah. But I'm just still surprised you wanted a reward even after you broke the light. Well, yes, because I could have sued them. Because you broke the light, you could have sued them?
Starting point is 00:04:49 Because they had a dangerous situation. But your kids didn't get hurt or cut or anything. They could have. They could have. Okay, anyway, go ahead. Guys, my 05 Ultima, you guys make fun of me. Oh, your car's so old. It's such a piece of crap.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Well, the 05 Ultima might be a movie star. They're filming a movie here in Nashville, and someone on Instagram hit me up and I guess they're filming in their neighborhood and said, hey, the producer or director, someone sent out this text to us saying, hey, we are looking for older cars from the 2000s to set on the street for one of our scenes when we be filming on 416. If you know one or have one, would you please send them my information? So someone sent me this on Instagram and so I texted the dude said, hey, got an 05 Ultima if you
Starting point is 00:05:35 wanted in the scene. Let me know. How much is it paying? I don't know. What if it's zero? That's okay. It's a start. It's a beginner.
Starting point is 00:05:44 Getting your car as an extra? Is that your resume? My car was an extra? Wow. I guess they're doing an outdoor scene on the street where they're going to- Yeah, they need, it's probably taking place in that time frame, so. But why not get paid 50 bucks or something? Well, I said, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:06:01 This is all it said. It said, if you could pass my contact on to anybody you know. So someone on Instagram sent me this, and so I texted the person. Would you put this on your resume as that you were in the movie? Yeah, because the car is part of me. Really? Yeah. Are your kids part of you?
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yes, but it's not a car. Okay, is your house part of you? No. It's not. It's not for my house. And also, I don't really think we make fun of your 05 ultima per se. It's how you, like, it's just how messy you are with it. You treat it like garbage.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yeah. I don't treat it like garbage. It's actually. In every part of it, the floorboards. Once your trunk was open, like, Noah's art came out, like two by two of every animal. Because it's actually impressive that it's running as long as it happens. So stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:06:45 The 05 Ultima coming to the big screen. I'll wait for a response from this guy. Let's know how much he's paying. Anybody else got a 2000 car that? Oh, no, you guys got all new cars. Sorry. I have a 74. Not having an 06.
Starting point is 00:06:56 You have a 74 that looks new, though. See, if he put his old car in there, and it was shot in 2005, it's going to look like 100 years old. That's not going to work. Your car is like old and rusty. Yes. You're doing to me? Yeah, yours.
Starting point is 00:07:12 I feel a lot of hate because your car's not going to be in a movie. She's known for being honest and vulnerable on the show and through the years. It's really helped her grow. It's Amy, everybody. Yes. Well, my water bill is high. Again? Again.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I thought the Kool-Aid toilet situation was going to fix it. Explain that. Well, we had a plumber come by and say it might be a flapper issue and that we have a bunch of toilets running all the time causing the water bill to be. high. Like my meter is like, da, da, da, da, da, zah, going crazy. And we put a packet of Kool-Aid powder in the toilet tank
Starting point is 00:07:42 of every toilet. And if the purple Kool-Aid ended up in the bowl without any flushing at all, then we had an issue. Turns out we had an issue on several toilets. So I was like, okay, we're, it's probably going to fix the problem. Let's wait a month or so so we can get a bill and see what happened.
Starting point is 00:07:58 My bill is still high. And so now, oh, this bill I think was We'll have to pull it up exactly. My bills range between $450 and $600 for water. Oh. Water. That's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:08:12 Must be hydrated as crap. No, no. It's not, like, it's becoming a problem like to where, I mean, but then. What do you think's happening? Listen, because remember back in December, I called and complained and I got my bill down to $90. I don't know what is happening, although I'm very, I don't even want to put this energy out into the universe, but it could be. What? It could be like something.
Starting point is 00:08:34 pipe issue underneath somewhere. Oh, no. That'd be expensive. Yeah. So, and I went out and looked at the meter and it is going, it's something's running and it's boggling my mind that they can't figure it out and I don't know what we're going to have to do. I would get a shovel.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Go to work. Start digging. Go to town. Don't stop until you hit something. That's what I used to do. That's always good. No, I mean, it's getting out of like, we're tapping into other fun. Like, it's crazy. Nobody should have that high of a water bill. Complain again. Get back 9.90.
Starting point is 00:09:06 No, I don't know that that will work again. But do you know that it won't work? Case solved. There you go. All right, last one. Let's go, Ray. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He graduated from Henderson State, and humor is his best trait. Bobby Bones. Thank you. Hey, I've had, like, three videos go viral in the past month that have gone over a million views on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:09:26 It's been awesome. Million, three million. Had, like, a 12 million. And so it's been cool to see. Wow. I just kept looking to see if I could click in and make money on Reels. like Eddie has been. Yeah, man, big money with $12 million. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:09:38 I could pay for Amy's Waterbill. Yeah. I wouldn't, but I could. But I keep waiting to see if I can click into it to get. And then I saw they're eliminating that for everybody, including Eddie. Oh, I can no longer make money. You can no longer make money so we don't have to hear about it anymore. I can get subscribers, though.
Starting point is 00:09:55 I saw that. And what will people subscribe to you for on your Instagram? I've been thinking about it. I really don't know what they would subscribe for. So anybody that was making money, no more. Real's just pulling it down. What? How much were you making?
Starting point is 00:10:08 I was making about 160 bucks a month. I put up one reel, get paid 160 bucks, move all my life. How were you getting that? Just by putting a reel up. No, no, I mean. How are they getting that money to you? Oh, they send you a check.
Starting point is 00:10:19 They send me a check. Where's my money? Okay, so... Where's my money for the shoes? Oh, man, you got a knock on Instagram door. You must have never gotten the invitation. They wouldn't let me. They never sent it to me.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Okay. And I kept waiting for it. Also, what does the subscription do? People have to pay for it? Yeah. For content. specify like hey Eddie I want you take more pictures of your shirt off. No it's not only fans. It's not only fans.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It's not. But you people can subscribe for like two or three bucks and they get specific stuff. Unique content. Hey, it can be whatever though man. You should try that, bones? I'm not trying it because I'll hold the company money. Dang, man. I just took $100 out of my pocket every month. You owe the company money? Yeah, we can't start selling stuff on social media though. If they wanted to, content, they could
Starting point is 00:11:00 go, well, you owe us this money. Oh. Yeah. They didn't do that with my reels. Thank goodness. I know, but they could. But you'd have subscribers. That's right. I might to get a second job. Okay. Don't you have one?
Starting point is 00:11:11 I got it, but I'm going to get another one. Third job. Something. I mean, this is crazy. They just took money out of my pocket. They didn't. They gave you money actually for free. And they started teasing me with it.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Like, oh, here's a little money, money, money, money. Take it back. Anyway, no more. Just imagine if you really, that was what you depend on for money. Oh, I've followed. Some people were really they must have been making a lot and it's affecting them big time. Yeah, like they've even made videos about it. They're like, okay, I got a little too dependent.
Starting point is 00:11:34 upon this and they're like stay-at-home moms. I mean, if they ripped all of Instagram away. Yeah. People that have built their whole career, which... TikTok. Good. It's going to happen. But they can, they can rip it away because we don't own it. They can do whatever they want. So no more money for reals. And I was waiting for my shot too. I've been going
Starting point is 00:11:48 viral. It's been awesome. It's pretty fun going viral lunchbox. You've been viral lately? Nah, I haven't really been trying lately. Oh, is that what it is? Yeah, I haven't been much effort. Let's open up the mailbag. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I have a longtime friend who's a constant one-upper. I love her, but she always has to be bigger and better than me. I bought a new car, she got a better one. I got engaged, too, just more elaborate. Even when I got pregnant a few years ago, she got pregnant too, but with twins. That's not a joke. Although she's never mentioned it to me, I learned that she and her husband are going through hard times. Her husband lost his job a few months ago.
Starting point is 00:12:33 They sold their house and moved to her. and temporarily with his parents. I heard from another mutual friend that she was looking to get a job, and I actually have a great lead on something that she'd be perfect for. I'm worried she'll be hesitant to take any help from me since she has always portrayed
Starting point is 00:12:46 having a perfect life. But at the end of the day, she's my friend. How do I go about helping a friend who may not accept my help? Signed. Friend of a one-upper in need. Well, I don't know the one-upers stuff had to be thrown in here.
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah, she's setting the story. Set in the stage. Yeah, like maybe it's a slightly difficult relationship with this friend because of that. Amy, what do you think? Oh, no, I think you can offer her the insight into the job. Like, and if she doesn't want to take it because of her own issues with you, that's, that is on her. You do your part what's going to make you feel good. And if you know of a lead for her, you tell her about the job. Yeah, you did use the word here, friend. Yeah. Aside from all the other stuff, we all have reasons that we're annoying to our friends.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I mean, I think you could probably list 10 things about me. Yeah, you can probably list a couple of things about me. A couple. It is still a friend. And the one-upsmanship, it must not be so bad if you're still their friend and if you're even asking this question. Because if it was so bad and they were so annoying, you just wouldn't hang out with them, which would mean you really weren't that close to friends anyway. So yes, if it's a friend, let them know, try to get them the job. And if she says, well, I found a job that's even better than that, so I don't know if I'm going to think about it. Okay. Then you don't be a friend anymore because that one-upsmanship is really annoying.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Is this your chance to be the one-upper, though? But how's the one-up? I don't know. I think it's just your chance to be a good friend. She's down, so now it's like, all right, I'm going to one-upor on this one. On what? But what are you up there? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, you don't have a job? I have one. Yeah. And then I got one that, I don't know, maybe I'll let you know. So does she know that? I guess in this letter, she doesn't know that she lost the job, right? Like the friend doesn't know that she lost a job, right? That's a good point, too, because she did say that.
Starting point is 00:14:32 She heard. She said, I found they were going through hard times. So how do you approach that? You don't go, hey, I heard you broke. Right. Because that would hurt my feelings. I would go, hey, look, I don't know if you're looking to change jobs or anything, but this position just came open.
Starting point is 00:14:45 It'd be really cool to work with you if you ever wanted to move. You could do something like that. Oh, that's cool. But then you know, if she comes and works with you, she's going to one up you. Yeah, she'll get more salary. But that's okay, because in the end, you're just looking out for a friend. That's right. Those little annoying traits aren't so heavy that it outweighs.
Starting point is 00:15:02 the fact that she's your friend. So you let her know. And you probably, that's a great point because I did not come away with that from reading this. You have to let her know in a sensitive way. Because it sounds like she already is very insecure, which is why she won up. Yeah. So it's, hey, we'll call her Sue. Hey, Sue. Uh, first of all, why is your name Sue and it's 2000, 20, 23? Question one. Question two is, we have an opening here. I don't know if you're looking for a new job or anything, but I thought you'd be perfect for it. I'd love to, at some point for us to work together. Here's the link. That's it. That's all you have to do. It's good. Because I've just been like, yeah, go tell her. Go knock on her door and tell her. I'll definitely say awkward things.
Starting point is 00:15:43 I have no problem with going into awkwardness. And that would have been awkward for me not to handle us instead of late. All right, that's the mail back. Close it up. We got your email and we let it hold with Bobby's mail bag. It's a voicemail from Scott in Ohio. I understand that your wife don't like condiments. I want to know if she ever had salsa and Because a fun fact for Friday is I just found out that salsa is a condiment. I was watching the foods that build America. I thought I'd let you in on that little secret. I guess it was a secret to me anyway.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Love to show you guys are the best. I like that guy. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. Yeah, she'll eat chips and salsa. And she doesn't go, I hate all condiments. It's not a universal thing. She has never tasted mustard.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Hate the smell of it. I won't touch the bottle. Crazy. Same thing with ketchup. Hate to smell. It won't touch the bottle. Manease. None.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Never tasted it. But she likes barbecue sauce. And then if that's a condiment, yeah, we eat chips and salsa. But yeah, never. No hot dog mustard, no ketchup on French fries. I don't like mayonnaise. But if it's been touched by mayonnaise,
Starting point is 00:16:50 she won't eat it at all. She's that weirded out by it, which is crazy. All right, thanks for that Fun Fact Friday. Now it's our turn. Let's go. Fun Fact Friday. Let's go around. Everybody's got to have one.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Have a good one. Amy, you're up. Steve Jobs had a high school GP PA of? Gotta be low. You're tricking us. Yeah, yeah. Go.
Starting point is 00:17:08 2.65. Wow. So C plus-ish. He's like me. That's like me too. I am saying. You guys are super close to Steve Jobs. Wow, look at us.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Well, you each have jobs right now, so I guess that would be what's ever common with them. And I'm working on that thing Steve Jobs invented. Steve Jobs did not invent the computer or the laptop. The Apple? Really was the main marketing guy of it, but didn't really do any coding or building. Yeah. But yes. Really?
Starting point is 00:17:35 Try to tie it all in there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you have a job. Lunchbox, go ahead. Hey, everyone farts. Not so fast, my friend. That is not true. Octopuses, don't fart.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Soft shell clams, do not fart. Birds, do not fart. Swas, do not fart. That's it. Those only ones are, everyone else does. So when they say, everyone farts? I never heard anybody say that ever. Uh-uh.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And I would just, I assume they mean humans. People, every one. Right. Isn't that crazy that octopus has never farted? But like, there was a bird sitting on a tree next to me and I heard it fart. That'd be crazy. Right, exactly. But it can't.
Starting point is 00:18:13 It doesn't because you didn't know. Birds. Don't bark. Eddie. You know the dot over lowercase eyes and J? It has a name. It's called a tittle. Do you know that?
Starting point is 00:18:24 I did know that. Okay, so we'll move on. Well, you could have just told us and not said, do you know that? And then we just been like, yeah, that's going at it on. Why does it have a name? There we go. I found someone that didn't know that. Hey, lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, it's called the tiddle, dude. The word tiddle actually means a tiny amount or a little part of something. Oh. Am that cool? Which is why on 25 whistles I call it the Tittle Taddle. Because of the- It's a little bit of something that you talk about. Wow, I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:18:48 See, that's fun fact, too. So you're telling me when I'm writing a letter, I'm like, oh, don't forget your tittle on top of the eye. If they didn't put the dot on there. You could say, don't forget to dot your eye. Yeah, it's always. I don't know. Till in your eye sounds dirty. That sounds weird.
Starting point is 00:19:03 All right, Morgan, get over to you. We all have a dot. dog, well, dogs sneeze to tell other dogs that they're friendly. So when they're playing rough, it doesn't turn into a fight. So if you ever hear your dog sneeze, they're trying to be friendly. Really? Yeah. His eyes also get red and have to give him Benadryl.
Starting point is 00:19:18 This whole time, he was being friendly. What's the crap? Finally, mine. Slot machines show fruit symbols, which are all familiar with that, right? Yeah, the cherries. Because when they debuted in the late 1800, some of the prizes were actually those fruits. That's what you won. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Or those fruits. By giving away fruit instead of money. companies avoided breaking gambling law so people would come and put their money and gamble with it to win fruit which was almost like currency because you'd get to eat but you would win the fruit. That's pretty cool. If I were going to award the fun fact winner of the week. Tiddell.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Tiddle sucked. Oh man, come on. You don't remember Amy so move on. I took me a second. Steve Jobs, yeah. Okay, it's over here. Birds don't fart. Birds don't fart. Octopuses don't fart.
Starting point is 00:19:58 Slots don't fart. It was probably the delivery. Soft show clams. Don't fart. Or Morgans, which is what again? It was that the dogs. They sneeze to show their friendly. Yeah, I'll believe that one.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So I'm going to go with lunchbox. I'm going to give it to me. For the fruit. Got them. Okay. No, you can have it lunchbox. That's no prize. There's no prize.
Starting point is 00:20:17 No, there's no game winning music either. Fun fact, Friday. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. 13 years ago, this girl, Coral was tubing the Colorado River with some of her friends, and she flipped out of her tube.
Starting point is 00:20:35 and her camera went flying and into the water. She couldn't get it. There was no way she was going to retrieve it. She remembers going back to her boyfriend's house, sobbing uncontrollably. Obviously, she had some precious memories on that camera. Or she's an expensive camera. I think that's been the reason I'd have been crying. Oh, I was thinking the memories.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Yeah. Well, fast forward to this year when this guy, Spencer is fishing in the river and he finds the camera. So he gets curious about it. He's like, huh, it's all rusted, doesn't look like it's going to work, but he grabs the memory card out, plugs. it into his computer. It looks disgusting, by the way. It looks like a fishing like rangefinder, but has been stuck in the mud. It's like a digital camera with the big screen. Like a range finder. We see the little blitfish. That's what it
Starting point is 00:21:16 looks like. It is disgusting looking. Yeah. So the memory card worked. The photos were retrieved and he decided, well, let me post him on Facebook see if anybody knows who these people are. Like within the hour, people were like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's coral, da, da, da, da.

I thought that there was supposed to be some kind of punishment for lunchbox if he did not get Bobby the money by the day after his birthday.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Now, I'm not saying there should be a spicy take like the world's hottest gummy bear or anything like that involved. But hey, you know, you do the crime, you got to do the time. So holla. Holla, idiot. Funny you bring that up. I guess I was throwing off because he had a big check with the amount of money I'm supposed to get, but I still don't have my money. We bought into a storage unit together. We sold everything in it.
Starting point is 00:35:41 I supposedly have $380 coming to me. No, I think it was $389, man. There you go. Don't sell yourself short. And in the post show we had mentioned this. What, Monday? Is it Monday of next week? Oh, we haven't said it yet.
Starting point is 00:35:56 So it's got to be some sort of punishment. Okay. Where if he doesn't have that money by, let's say, the end of next week, he'll have to eat like one of those hot potato chips or gummy bears. Why don't we do it old school? And then every day until I get my money. Yeah, you get $3.89. 79 according to my accounting.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Yeah. Well, your accounting price wrong too. That's right here. I got all the math. You have so many scribbles written next to that. That's right, but I got the... Hey. I still don't have my money, Jerry. If you don't have it in the next week, he'll pay the price. He'll do the time. I told you. We should build a jail here.
Starting point is 00:36:27 What? No. No. When people are bad, we stick them in the jail. No. No. This is like some weird thing. No. Yeah. And I'm the warden. Fantasy. You have. All right. This is Joe from North Dakota. I just have a suggestion for your blind karaoke. You guys should do a duet country love songs and then put Abby and Munchbox together.
Starting point is 00:36:50 I think it would be hilarious. What we should do is a duet version, but we draw all the people live, and then you guys have to perform the duet song that's up there. That's pretty cool. That would be fun. That's a good idea. Joe, appreciate that. Here's one more, Becca from Wake Forest. I have been catching up on the podcast recently, and I just want to give a shout out to all the beat teamers and new listeners out there that when Bobc's,
Starting point is 00:37:09 says, hey, how does it make you feel or hey, how are you feeling? The answer is, I feel good. Oh, I feel so good. Hey, that's just one of my thieves. I cheer for everybody every single time and I'm not hearing it, so I feel good. Oh, I feel so good. Yay.
Starting point is 00:37:25 All right, thank you. I like it. I didn't have to say it. She said it. All right, thank you for all the voicemails. Leave them. 877 77 Bobby. We're taking them. Leave it on the voicemail line. We'll play a lot of them back. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Ford got a patent for
Starting point is 00:37:39 flying drones that could come and jumpstart your car if your battery dies. That's awesome. I should be like, no, big brother, watching us. Nope. That's awesome. That's awesome. I was like, this is going to get to. Why do we not already have this? Yeah, it's going to get to people so much faster. Well, I mean, drones are one thing, but you have to teach a drone to fly over and go to the car and jump it.
Starting point is 00:38:00 Yeah, I'm sure that would be easy. Or they could just put a video, someone on video on the drone and they come up and they're like, hey, Amy, okay, this is what you do. get your jumper cable and put the, because I forget. Can't they just do that on FaceTime? Yeah, they could. They can just call you on your phone. Sorry, my bad. Good point.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Good point. I need a drone that's going to change a tire. That may be a little tougher. Okay. Yeah. But the battery, if it had a little battery on it that had a bunch of power, they're like, okay, fly in. All right, take the red, put it on the pot.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Stand back. No, no, no, no. Away you go. And apparently we're starting a motorcycle on my sound effect. All right, what else? So this is a cool gender reveal. idea that's safe. Is it going to catch anything on fire? So this mom, she baked a bunch of cupcakes and then took a bunch of family and friends out to dinner and everybody got a cupcake. And then
Starting point is 00:38:49 someone was going to get the cupcake that had either pink or blue. Everything else was, I guess, just white or whatever. So only problem is she passed out a bunch of cupcakes to everybody and everybody bid in and they just got the white cream. So they're like, okay, so they're out of people. So she started handing out cupcakes to strangers at the restaurant. So one of the strangers got it and was like, it's a girl. And so it's just fun to have everybody involved. And here's a clip from TikTok. That's not. I thought that was super fun. So something people could do. Kane Brown was talking about his first take as an actor. He's on that show, Fire Country. He was telling us about it.
Starting point is 00:39:30 But he's on this train. The door opens. It's supposed to be a very serious moment. And like right when the door opens, he just broke into a big smile and ruined the first take. Here's Kane talking about it. I opened the door for the first time and I was supposed to be serious. But I was so excited that when I saw the set and the fire and everything, I smiled. And they were like, no, Ken, you got to be serious. You're not supposed to smile right here. And that clip is from The Talk.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Which, ooh, speaking of acting, I did see a headline that Matthew McConaughey is confirmed to star in a new spin-off based on Yellowstone. Hey, his accent fits. It's right. All right, all right. By the way, Circle Network, tomorrow night. Bobby Bones is the Raging Idiots, million dollar show. It is going to be awesome. 10-9 Central, Dirk's, Dina Carter,

He goes, man, there's something poking out of the snow. And he sees a little piece of a snowboard. He's like, what? Someone was buried in the deep powder. And he got it all.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Right then. Right then. Like the guy had been snowboarding. and had gone head first and just buried himself in the powder and couldn't get out. Wow. I'm looking at the picture of what was coming out to the snow. I mean, I wouldn't even know what that was.

I made it to the official studio. Well, not. not that order. I wanted to sit with you for like an hour because that's what we did before and get to know you.
Starting point is 00:47:57 And so many people reached out and they were like, we can't believe you know Chris Tomlin. And I'm like, not only that, I got a cell phone number and we text. So you made me look real cool. And blessing, first time meeting you. Dude, first time, yeah, this is a big deal. My friends think I'm cool now. Okay, so it all goes around. My friends think I'm calling by Chris, Chris, you.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Yes, it's all one of those. It's cool transference, really. So, Chris, I want to start with you for a second. I want you to tell me about blessing, first of all. So I know that you sign blessing to your label. What about blessing is so special? My goodness, how long do we have here this morning? Blessing is one of the most special people I've ever got to encounter with music.
Starting point is 00:48:39 And a friend of mine, a guy produced my records several years ago, played me a song. He said, man, you've got to hear this song. He played this song called Ten Roof. And I was so floored by it. I was like, wow. And I said, who is this guy? He said, his name is blessing. I was like, well, you don't forget a name like that.
Starting point is 00:48:55 And it gave me a bit of his story and share me his story, which I'm sure you guys will get into. But I was really moved by that. And I just kind of stalked that away. I remember that song. And when I was making this, sorry, I was making this record, Chris Tomlin and Friends, right, with all the country guys. And he, and I was thinking, it just hit me one day. I was like, you know what? I've got all of these artists on this record
Starting point is 00:49:23 that everybody knows I would love. And I was thinking about it. And I kept coming back to this song, Ten Roof. And I thought it was one of the very best songs I'd ever heard written. In fact, I played it for Shane McAnally. And I played it for Shane, and Shane said, if that does not song of the year,
Starting point is 00:49:38 I don't know what is. And he's just that kind of song. He kept that from you blessing. I didn't know that part. I'm not. And so I'm just, and I remember that. like, you know what? I would love to end this record with that song and find a way for people to hear it. Because no one's heard this song. And I was like, maybe people will pay attention to this record, and then they will hear this guy named Blessing.
Starting point is 00:50:00 And so I said, so I called a blessing, figured out how to get a hold of blessing. And I said, can I want to come meet you. And I went to his apartment. And when I went to his apartment, I'm going there and I'm walking in. I can just hear the piano playing. And I knock. And he's like, come on in. And I walk in. And I walk in. And I'm just sitting there going, I'm thinking, I don't know who this person is, how do I interact with this person, how I get to know him. And he's sitting at the piano and we start playing.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And he starts playing some songs, and we start talking about music and start gathering around. And then he started telling me, and I asked him, I just asked him, I said, man, I hear you do concert. You go out and do gigs and concerts. How do you do that? For those you don't know, blessing, lost his sight years and years ago. And so I was like, how do you do?
Starting point is 00:50:48 that and I said you hear you do that by yourself and he starts telling me he said well you know I get an Uber and they drop me off he goes they drop me off at the airport and a skycap comes and picks me up at the Uber and takes me to the plane and then puts me on the plane and then when I get off the plane a skycap comes and takes me off and then I get in an Uber and I go to the venue I mean go to the hotel and then the guy comes and picks me up and I go to the venue and I play the concert I do that all the way back home and I'm thinking the grit you have to to have to do that. I'm like this guy and I was like you do that
Starting point is 00:51:22 and I think how much I don't like it and all the ease I have and just how much more struggle and how much more things to overcome and thinking about playing the concerts and all the things and I was just like okay I just and there's he's an absolute joy I mean I never met
Starting point is 00:51:38 somebody's feeling more joy in their life and I thought people need to get people need to know this guy's music because he's got a lot to bring to people and people can relate if anybody's ever gone through struggle or maybe gone through things, they could relate to Blessing's story. And he has this incredible gift. And not only
Starting point is 00:51:54 that, but he's, as you'll hear, one of the best singers and players I've ever heard play music. And so, and just the songwriting, it just, when, can I say one other thing? Somebody sent me a Dropbox. You can keep going. Somebody sent me a drop box of Blessing. And they said, here's some, here's some songs.
Starting point is 00:52:10 You should hear more of his songs. If you like Tenroof, here's, so I, they sent me his Dropbox, Bobby, and I hit the drop box open, and it was, I if I showed you, you can just scroll hundreds of songs. And I was like, who is this guy? And I would just randomly pick songs. Everything I would listen to is just him and a piano.
Starting point is 00:52:27 I was like, my goodness, what kind of treasures in here of all these songs? And so just incredible songwriter and writes with so many different people. But I just thought there's any way I could help this guy people hear his music. And now, man, the floodgates open from Coca-Cola to the Kardashians to the Gray's Anatomy to wherever he. finds himself, he finds his music, it's pretty cool. That's the greatest intro I've ever heard for a second person ever. Yeah. I don't even want to play anymore. I've seen some really cool like wrestling intros and that one still is better blessing.
Starting point is 00:52:59 That's the greatest of all time. So, okay, well, I know this part wasn't planned here, but he built up tin roof so much. Can you give us a little bit of that blessing? Is that possible? Because I just want to imagine it. Oh, man, listen. And then the other thing is a friend to the room, her name is a up and upstart songwriter Natalie Hemby. I wrote this with her. I think she's got a career somewhere. I believe in her, guys.
Starting point is 00:53:24 And we wrote this song in about 45 minutes. She said to me, what do you want to write about? And I said, I want to write about the sound of rain on a tin roof. I'm from Nigeria, and I haven't been home in forever. Actually, I came to the States when I was six, and I haven't been home ever since. And so I said, I missed the sound of rain on a tin roof. And so she says that's what we're going to write about. So the song kind of starts like this.
Starting point is 00:53:46 I'll give you a couple. You sound just pure. I mean, that's the word. I mean, right? You just sound pure. So you say you came to America at six. Why did you come to the States? So initially, so my uncle played professional soccer, immigrant nonsense, came here, got a bunch of degrees, is a lawyer now.
Starting point is 00:54:06 And when I was born, I was born with glaucomas. I was born blind in my left eye. I could see my right eye. And he was like, well, let's bring blessing to America to treat this. So we came here. and as as life sometimes goes, I got shot in the eye with a water gun in the good eye. Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:24 And it's one of those things where it's so unlikely that it's hilarious, you know what I mean? I mean, Bobby's like, is hilarious the word? Well, you know what's crazy is my right eye doesn't work, right? It never has. Yeah, since I was born. I wore a patch as a kid. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:54:38 Yeah, it's true. So I wear glasses. We're half blind brothers. And the reason I wear glasses for most of my life was just to protect my one good eye. Yeah. Oh, you did that too? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:47 Like when you played, they made you wear the goggles. And I had to wear a patch first, just to try to fix the bad one. They put it over the good one. That didn't work. And they were like, well, it's in your brain. So my eye wouldn't fix, but I would wear glasses just to make sure that nothing hit me in the other eye. Okay. But you got hit.
Starting point is 00:55:02 That's unbelievable. You will appreciate this. I was literally, the second before this happens, draining hoops just in my backyard, just like Michael Jordan style hooks, you know what I mean? And the kid across the street was like, blessing, you know, let's play with water guns. And I was like, man, I got to go to an amusement park. And he goes, no, no, no, no, no. From like two feet from me.
Starting point is 00:55:27 And I was like, oh, man, now I'm all wet. And I didn't know anything that happened. You know what I mean? And it took about 24 hours for me to be like, oh, this isn't good. You know what I mean? So from that was like this emergency surgery thing. It was a lot. So that weirdly happened.
Starting point is 00:55:44 And as that's happening, we get a piano in the house. So all that outside energy I put to the piano. And weirdly enough, like fell in love with playing music. I was taking lessons before, but I wasn't taking it seriously. But then I had all this energy, man, like, and all this time to just fall in love with this stuff. And so it's, I mean, funny, kismet, God. how the awful things pave the way for all the good, beautiful stuff. So here we are now, you know.
Starting point is 00:56:18 What's up with blessing the name? Right? In Nigeria, my name's so common. There's a lot of people named Blessing. It's like Smith, the first name? It's definitely like, if not Smith, they're like Jason. Yeah, okay. Got it, got it.
Starting point is 00:56:36 So Blessing is a common name. Does it mean the same thing as it means to us? So I speak a language called Iwo. So blessing in my language is Ngo-Z. That's how you'd say it. But my birth certificate says B-L-E-S-I-N-G. Yeah, so blessing offer. O-F-F-O-R.
Starting point is 00:56:53 Well, Bobby means man with muscles. There you go. You may not know that, but that is what that means. Bobby means pirates. Yes, yes, it did for a while, for sure. Amy's son loves brighter days. Oh, man. Amy, thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:07 That's like his jam. What's your son's name? His name is Stevenson. Oh my God. Yeah. And he's Haitian. He also came to America around that age seven years old. Really?
Starting point is 00:57:18 Mm-hmm. And so one of his, he loves Christian music. Like when I pick up from school, he immediately puts that on or anytime we get in the car. And like, there's so many songs that come on where he's like, stop talking. We have to like jam out to this. Mother, stop. Yeah. And yeah, your stuff is, I just was freaking out when you were coming in because I was like, well, I'm going to start videoing whenever he starts for.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Because I'm going to take the video home and he'll think that I'm the coolest because I met you. Listen, I'm going to tell you this studio already feels like home. So I'm just, no, I really appreciate the welcome. This has been amazing. Well, there's a huge sonic cup beside you. Yeah, just so you know. Is that for me? No, it just sits there, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:57 But if you want to drink out of it, you can. It's like a mystery sonic cup. It is. Yeah, we never know what's in there. I'm going to hold off. Well, in Stevenson, just to be clear, Chris, Stevenson loves your songs too. No, no, I don't take anything. I totally get it.
Starting point is 00:58:11 I mean, I like blessing better than me. Oh, my God. Wait, can I tell you guys a funny story? When I introduced Tin Roof on the road, I always go, I got a phone call from an unknown number. And it said, this is Chris Tomlin, and I'm Nigerian, and I know how these scams work. And, like, I always go, the old, this is Chris Tomlin trick. Yes, yes. Would you play brighter days for us?
Starting point is 00:58:35 Oh, man, it would be my pleasure. All right. Blessing offers here. And you can stream it. We'll get them all the information on where to find it, where to find you, but we're going to listen to the song here. Here's Blessing with Brighter Days. You know, Chris Blessing, Good Friday, Nashville happens tonight.
Starting point is 00:58:49 So this has been running for a long time, and Chris, I'll have you speak on this. So Blessing is going to be there with you? Yes, he is. So what do you guys do? What's happening here? Yeah, so every year, we do Good Friday, Nashville. I've done it for seven years now at the Bridgetown Arena.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And it's a moment to gather in all the different streams of the church for Easter weekend, you know, to have a moment for Nashville, for middle Tennessee, for all the surrounding areas to come. And I would have never dreamed of what it's turned into. But every year, it's an out of worship. And then I'll have a guest artists that are with me as well. And we've had so many people through the years, but this year, blessings one of those. And I can't think of a more appropriate, more timely song for what Nashville's been going through than this song in this moment and where it will come in the night and what's going on and all the things we're going to be doing in this night. So it's going to be very, very powerful. So we'll come back
Starting point is 00:59:45 in a second more with Chris Tomlin and blessing. But again, Good Friday in Nashville for everybody listening locally in Nashville, Bridgetown Arena, 7 p.m. But also for everybody listening all over the country right now, there is a live stream on YouTube and Facebook that begins at 7 Central. So you can kind of do the math there, although I struggle with time zones. Eight Eastern, 7th Central, Six Mountain, Five Pacific. I got to walk it all down. You got it. Because we're in all the time zones.
Starting point is 01:00:08 Wait, wait, there's also like Hawaiian and Alaskan, but it's fine. Blessing you're going to mess with me now. I'm going to start saying that too, because we do have an affiliate in Alaska. Now I feel like I've neglected them. Now I feel like a bad person. Canada. Okay. Well, no, that'll fit into the other ones.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Yeah, that's right about it. True, true. We'll come back with Chris Tomlin and Blessing. Just one second. The Friday morning conversation with Chris Tomlin and Blessing Offer. So if you're listening to this all over the country, tonight you can watch the Good Friday Nashville on a live stream, YouTube, Facebook, beginning at 7 Central.
Starting point is 01:00:42 So just kind of do the math and figure out what time zone you're in, and you can watch that. And you've been doing this seven years, Chris? Seven years. How did this start? Why and where and all that? Yeah, you know, back when I lived in Houston, we started doing Good Friday there,
Starting point is 01:00:55 and just for up in the woodlands. And then when I lived in Atlanta, we started Good Friday, Atlanta. And so moving to Nashville, I was like, okay, I've done this in these different cities where I've lived, and I thought this could be an incredible moment. I did not know where we would meet because I had done a few concerts here, and then my team said,
Starting point is 01:01:14 well, I think we should do the Bridgestone Arena. I'm like, Bridgetown Arena, are you kidding me? That's not going to be that many people show up. It's going to fill up the floor. I'm going to be embarrassing. What are we talking about doing Bridgetstone? And they're like, no, no, I really think this could be amazing. And the first year, just incredible,
Starting point is 01:01:29 15,000 people or so came, and I was just like, what is happening? and as it was, and you'll appreciate this, I think, Bobby, because I was like, okay, if I'm going to do this every year, I don't feel, I don't feel like this should be a place where I make any money from this. This feels weird, especially it's Easter and all the things. I said, I just, I just want to give, whatever the profits come, whatever proceeds come, I just want to give away to something that really helps kids and helps people in Nashville and whatever's coming. And so I went, I all of a sudden had this windfall of money because I didn't think that many people were coming. And now I was like, oh, my. goodness, what are we going to do with this? And so every year we have poured into the vulnerable kids across Nashville, across the state of Tennessee, have built a lot of things just through this concert. A lot of things have happened over the last seven years. And this year, we're going to obviously highlight what's going on with the Covenant and also the police force this year and just give back in that way. And so it's a time
Starting point is 01:02:26 of obviously coming together on Good Friday, Easter weekend, the weekend of, you know, for people faith of our hope that we have in this world and in remembering the cross remembering the grace of God in our life and that's what this is about and it's just been so special max lecato speaks in the night max is um of all the people who've written books in christian Christianity he's he's written he's the biggest selling of all time of any offer he's sold over a hundred million books just himself just his books and he's had an incredible influence of people around the world in his writings. And he's partnered with me every year
Starting point is 01:03:06 because I feel like he's such a, he's kind of this grandfather. He would hate me say that, but this grandfatherly voice that has been around for 40, 50 years now and has been so trusted throughout the years. And so for someone who can speak to the entire nation and people who are listening all over the world,
Starting point is 01:03:22 it's turning in a Good Friday worldwide. And COVID happened, and we had to shift, and we just started doing it through TV and online. And now we've, so we've kept this, online and live streaming, but still doing it in Nashville. And we'll see how many years it goes, but it's just, it still has so much
Starting point is 01:03:39 incredible, people have responded in an incredible way. Time Magazine said you're the most often sung artists in the whole world. I didn't know that. It makes sense when they start to do the math. My wife, my wife's only been excited like three people ever that's coming over my house, or even been here. She does not,
Starting point is 01:03:55 it's really not her thing. And so one was Ronnie Dunn for Brooks and Dunn, who were very close with. She was like, Ronnie's coming over? I'm gonna go the other one was you and she was like Chris's coming over Chris Tomlin and I was like yeah she goes let me see how many songs I can name she said she's saying like 13 in a row I don't know 13 songs from anybody Chris and she's and I'm like how do you know every word to all those songs because we we sang them at church yeah yeah like for me we did a lot of old school hymns it was rock of ages you know I fly we didn't get to sing cool Chris homelin stuff but she knew every she knew
Starting point is 01:04:27 every one of your songs and so that was I looked cool to her because you came over and you're the most sung person ever. So that's a pretty cool title to hold. It's like you should have a championship belt for that. Like every year. You ever go into a church and they don't know it's you and they're singing your songs because that would be cool? Yeah, that's happened.
Starting point is 01:04:47 That's awesome. A lot of times. And I always, that's when it, that's probably the greatest privilege for me, man, honestly. It's because there's something about it when somebody is taking, and I have nothing to do with it and they just take my song and they lead it. And it's not me. leading it and it's for some reason they think this song is important or this song is special
Starting point is 01:05:05 to people and that that means more to me than anything so yeah that's always that's always like that motivation okay keep writing keep writing these songs and they're connecting to people the word of god is super important to you spoken and through music but do you ever cheat a golf cheetah golf because that wouldn't be you can't you're chris tomlin yeah so yeah absolutely you ever cheat a golf absolutely okay well i don't like what i'm hearing i'm be honest with them I'm telling you, when I say, when you say cheat, I'm talking about foot wedge, like out of the... Okay, that's fine. Hey, I'm just asking, if I see Chris Tomlin cheated anything, I'm like, hmm, I do give him a little foot wedge out of the trees.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Yeah. I do have to give a little foot wedge out of the tree. I asked my wife, I was like, hey, what should we have, what should we ask Chris to play? And she said, good, good father. That was the first thing that she said. So, first of all, I'm super honored that you would come up here and play for us. There's like six of us here. concert and you should introduce your player here so Daniel has been with me for 23 years
Starting point is 01:06:07 Daniel come on. Daniel is incredible we've been together and traveled the world all over the world many times together Daniel has five kids himself and great dad great but just been right there by my side for 23 years playing touring and I've toured for almost getting close to 26 27 years now but Daniel's been with me for a long long, long time. Well, welcome, Daniel. Yeah. And so, man, that's a long time. He must be pretty good boss or does he have a lot of dirt on you. It's one of the two, right? For 23 years. I mean, these guys been with me for 12, 13, 14, 15 years, but they got the dirt. It ain't the
Starting point is 01:06:43 boss thing. Okay, Chris, would you mind playing good good father for us? Absolutely. Man, that's so good. Man, that's awesome, Chris. I never heard you sing like that close. That's awesome. That's cool. Okay. You guys, you guys, I almost did harmonies, but I was like, oh, we didn't practice. Hey, me too. I mean, Bobby almost made a choir just now. Okay, look, a couple things I want to do. First of all, let me tell everybody that, you know, tonight you can watch on live stream even if you're not in Nashville.
Starting point is 01:07:15 So that's the whole point of this is to get it to as many people as possible. So it's the seventh annual Good Friday Nashville concert. So live stream on YouTube and Facebook beginning at 7 p.m. central time and still get tickets at Good Friday, Nashville.com. and the YouTube and the Facebook, like whose? Mine. Just yours personalist? So, that's a problem.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Okay. Facebook, yeah. So we're raising money for great causes. Yes. We have a positive message. We have great singing. Sounds like it's all there. It's all there.
Starting point is 01:07:45 It's all there. Okay. Now I've got a couple other things I want to say. First of all, Blessing and Chris, both of you, just kind of knowing your stories individually before together. There's a parallel that I'm sure you guys have connected that, blessing you talked about being a kid and you came to America because
Starting point is 01:08:01 you were blinded one of your eyes and when your other eye when you lost vision in it you started to play piano indeed so technically I started a little before but you like said you dialed in after me go to Chris now Chris you got sick as a kid yes and you have you guys talked about and you got sick and you started I don't think actually
Starting point is 01:08:20 we have no Chris are you also blinding one eye but you got really sick with like was it like Mono and I got Mono and a couldn't play baseball and they maybe all summer it's a fourth grade and i was fourth grade and i had to stay in in the house all summer and my dad said you're going to drive us crazy and you got to do something i'm going to teach you play guitar and so for that summer sorry that summer the whole um every day i would just sit at home my brothers would go do their thing and i sit home and i and i just work on the guitar my dad would teach me every day would teach me something he'd go to work i come home we'd learn
Starting point is 01:08:52 that next day you teach me something else and it's all that so what would seem to be something It was a really hard time in your lives for different reasons. Actually, it was a blessing when you look back later. Yes. That blessing had, well, Blessing got a blessing. But Blessing had piano and it started, but then had that to really put his time, energy, passionate to. And you're the same with music there. Yeah, it's amazing.
Starting point is 01:09:13 That's how it works. That's how it works. Now I know. No one told you this, Bob. No, now I just learned. That's how it works. I want to tell one more Chris Homlin's story, if you don't mind. And Blessing, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Would you like to accompany a little bit of background music? Piano. It's just a fun little Chris Tomlin story. Okay. So you can just follow along. Yeah. So Chris was over the house and we were talking about how it's got to be difficult to be a beloved artist that sings about the word of God and people just associate you with Jesus all the time where people only want to act super proper around you where they're just like, there's Chris Tomlin. I'm going to be on my best behavior.
Starting point is 01:09:53 Right? And so just that difficulty of you just want to be a normal dude. Yes. Because I, and I love Chris. And I've tried to, like, Chris and I text a little bit. Can you hang out? No. Can you know? We go, oh, we're on the road.
Starting point is 01:10:04 Okay. And so, we're having this party at my house over Christmas. And we had all these fake casino people come in. Is it as classy as this song is right? It's exactly classy enough. This is exactly the music. And so Chris and I just had this conversation. And I said to my wife, you know, we should invite Chris and his wife over to this casino party.
Starting point is 01:10:24 We're having it. I went, oh, it's gambling. My wife goes. You're doing exactly what you talked about. And so I said, oh, that's a great point. So I text Chris, and I said, hey, Chris, you should come over. And he's on the road, sadly. Or he doesn't like the fake gambling.
Starting point is 01:10:38 But I fell into that trap, too. Where I was like, it's fake gambling. We shouldn't invite Chris over because. Fun things are happening. Don't call Chris. Yes. It's too much fun. But I was a hypocrite, but didn't mean to be.
Starting point is 01:10:53 Because I was like, that's got to be hard, Chris. I would never do that to you. And I'm like, well, there's black. Jack, so Chris doesn't want to come. That being said, I think you are just the friendliest. Like, you're one of the rare guys that I have met professionally. I'm like, I want to be friends with that dude.
Starting point is 01:11:07 Man, I'm just a dude, just a guy. Just a dude, just a guy. And I'd love to come to that. And I was so honored you would invite me. And I would totally enjoy it. See, there we go. He would especially enjoy because the gambling was... We need blessing all the time, just playing music for a show.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I love it. He's like scoring the show. Yes. There was gambling, but it was all. Real gambling. Not real, but then also a donation was made. Yeah, I donated a charity to whoever won the most money. I love that.
Starting point is 01:11:32 So see? Even better. Nothing says the Lord liked charity. That's right. I'm with you, but. Amen. It's sinning for a good cause. That's well.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Ah, yeah, yeah. Okay, look, that's what I'm going to say. Chris, you're just awesome. Thank you, buddy. Blessing. Yes, sir. What an introduction. You sound so good.

You guys doing Easter eggs? Probably. I mean, my kids aren't totally into Easter because they didn't grow up with it,
Starting point is 01:15:17 so I kind of have that in my favor. In Haiti, they don't have Easter because it's a Christian holiday. Well, I mean, they have Easter. Like, they go to church and celebrate the resurrection, but it's not like a big. Oh, Easter egg. It's not like they woke up every morning and got an Easter basket. So it's sort of like Christmas and Easter and stuff where as a child,
Starting point is 01:15:35 I woke up so excited. My kids sleep in. That's funny because Easter to me was just church. There was never Easter eggs or gifts or toys. Oh, wow. No, so I don't have that. No. So you didn't have the excitement of waking up to get your basket?
Starting point is 01:15:52 I never got a basket. I never thought about that. We need to get you a basket. Yeah. I know. I kind of want to put together on. Yeah, I never thought about that. There's a reason I never was excited about Easter either.
Starting point is 01:16:04 because like as a fun thing because we never had it either. That's interesting. I never thought about it. Breakthrough. Okay, Monday we'll hide eggs. And I'll look for them. My first ever egg hide. So did they go, why do you hide eggs?
Starting point is 01:16:16 Well, yes. And so that's my son about really anything. It's always 100 questions, especially when we're driving him from school. And he's like, what's up with Easter? Why do we even hide eggs? And I'm always like, why do we hide eggs? Right. So I did not know.
Starting point is 01:16:29 And I said, okay, I'm going to need you to hold off. And we get home. We'll ask, you know. Do you have the answer? Alex, yeah. Do you guys know why we hide Easter eggs? No clue. No, I don't know why the Easter bunny drops them off, but whatever.
Starting point is 01:16:40 That's always a weird one. The bunny? Yeah. I agree. A big old weird rabbit. I agree. He'll be around on Sunday for everybody. That's not the same.
Starting point is 01:16:50 That's what? You know what he's saying. That's not the same. I don't know. Okay. What about eggs? Go ahead. Okay, so in many pre-Christian societies, eggs held associations with spring and new life.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Early Christians adapted these beliefs. It's making the egg a symbol of the resurrection and the empty shell as a metaphor for Jesus' tomb. Okay, but why is the bunny delivering it? And why not a chicken? That would make more sense. He never asked me about the bunny. He just asked me. I don't know about the bunny either.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Why eggs? Why are eggs associated with Easter? And that is why. The bunny, I have it here. The bunny was introduced to America by the German immigrants who brought over their stories of an egg-laying hair. So that's from Germany. Oh. An egg lang bunny.
Starting point is 01:17:36 German tradition. Hmm. Huh. Look at all the stuff we learn and then we're like, that's weird. Okay. But we've been doing it for years. Yeah, we just do what we're told. And we just wake up, bunny did it. So I was looking at a picture of your son today.
Starting point is 01:17:49 Like, he looks older. Like he's growing. He eats. Like it's growing a lot quickly. Yeah, and he's complaining of being like sore in certain areas. And I think it's because he's growing. And then I just remember some of my teenage guy for him. how much they would eat
Starting point is 01:18:05 and I feel like that's starting to happen in my home hungry all the time. I can't ever feed him enough which is good we want him to grow but then also I don't want him to grow because he's starting to get like a little I feel like I'm seeing a little peach fuzz around his mustache area. Oh guys will hold on to that
Starting point is 01:18:21 that is precious. Grow it out a little bit to a dude who's 12, 13, 14, 14, 15 you're getting it for the first time hair on your lip, hair under your arms I need to check the arms. Don't go checking under his arms. Casually. How do you casually do that?
Starting point is 01:18:37 Just ask him to get something from the top drawer or something. Hey, would you put this tank top on and then get something in the top? I don't know. Figure it out, but I just noticed the... The little mustache? The eating is picked up in the last month or so, and then the little stash is there and I can't handle it. I love when I got my little stash.
Starting point is 01:18:53 Oh, that was awesome, dude. I was 26, but it was cool. It was cool for sure. You guys can leave voicemails anytime, even if we're not on the air. Bobby. I mean this with the utmost respect and I'm really trying to be kind. But please, please, please tell me this whole money thing and stock thing with lunchbox is fake. Please, please tell me that he's not that bad.
Starting point is 01:19:20 I'll put it nicely with numbers. And you guys are just trying to make it funny. Please tell me. I, please, please, please, please, please, please tell me. It is funny, but we're not making it up. Amy, myself, and Lunchbox all put $30 into Lunchbox's investing account because he thought he could make money in the stock market. Because I was told that it's so easy that you just ask your friends and you know what stocks to buy.
Starting point is 01:19:44 So we put in $90 total. Where are we at right now? Right now we are at $96.70. That's pretty significant. You're making money? We're up like 5.5% or so just doing the math. Yeah, we're down 1.97% today. But I'm going to tell you what, guys, I hit a home run.
Starting point is 01:20:01 I made us some money. When I started reading about this W.W.E. UFC merger, I went and bought 0.1.1 of W.W.E. Stock. And today alone, it's up $4.22. But $4.00? You bought 0.1, so we didn't make $4.
Starting point is 01:20:19 What? Are you saying the stock's up $4? Or we're up $4 from that? I thought we were up $4. Well, that could be the case. But if the stock is up $4. Oh, that means we're only up 0.11. That means we're probably at 40 cents. Dang.
Starting point is 01:20:35 Which whole time I thought we were up $4 today. So I think we need to cash out of everything and buy this WWE. Hey, it's your money. But I don't know how to cash. But they charge you fees. You charge the fees to buy. You can cash out for what it is, but then they charge you a little fee to buy again. Oh, they do?
Starting point is 01:20:50 Yeah. Okay. Yeah, man, we are doing it. But everything else is down. Like whatever ASO is, Academy Sports and Outdoors. Is that what you buy? Yeah. You didn't tell us?
Starting point is 01:20:59 That's a new one. Well, because I'm going there to buy soccer cleats for the kids. And so you think you buying those cleats? It's going to increase the revenue. And right now it's down $2.60 today. I need to buy a baseball bat. I can raise that today. And so, I mean, I don't know if I'm going to get to Academy today,
Starting point is 01:21:17 but I wanted to make sure I bought it today just if I go in the next couple of days. But right now it's down. So if we go spend money, it'll go back up. This is why this person thinks we're idiots. Yes. I think we're faking it. Ray told me about revanced therapeutics, down 25 cents today. I mean, we are struggling.
Starting point is 01:21:31 Airbnb, because I rented an Airbnb for a wedding I'm going to in May, down $1.56. I mean, Rolls Royce, down $0.50. Why did you get that one again? Because I've always wanted to own a Rolls Royce, and I'll be luxury, and it's pretty cool to have a Rolls Royce. So you want luxury stock. Yeah. And then Apple is up 17 cents today. Tesla down.
Starting point is 01:21:52 We're struggling. We've got to make some moves, though, right? Yeah, Tesla's down. I mean, I've got to get down $3.46. It's got to sell it. But I need to wait, though. I need to be up. Or why not buy more while it's down? Well, we don't have any money.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Oh, you spent it all? No, we have $1.31. Spending power. Yeah, buying power. Well, you didn't tell us all the crap you bought. Last time we heard, we had like $50 bucks of buying power. Yeah, I do, but I started going on a sprinting spree. Sprintess.
Starting point is 01:22:14 List it up. Tell me what stocks we bought. We got Tesla. Boom. Well, we have 0.0. No, I don't care about that. Tell us what we have. We have Apple.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Yep, good. AMC. A movie theater's going to be terrible. Go ahead. Yeah, it's down. Down. We have Rolls Royce. Airbnb. Cool. Revance therapeutics.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Crazy. Academy sports and outdoors. W.W.E. That's it. Okay. That's a lot of stocks, man. It's so random. That's like when you go to the grocery store and you're buying all those weird stuff. It doesn't make sense. And I just have one thing to say about it.
Starting point is 01:22:46 Oh, you got one? No. I'm just going to let you know I have an item that my daughter bought for softball that I have to return to Academy. Oh, no. To Academy. Oh, that's going to sit down. It's going to sit down. It's going to sit down. lunchwalk his cleats.
Starting point is 01:22:57 So, like, I don't know. Okay, so we put in 90. We're up to 96 right now. 96.59. Are you going to make any bold moves in the next day or so? Yeah, I'm going to start making some moves. I'm going to hustle and flow. No, that means nothing.
Starting point is 01:23:10 You could sell a lot. We're down $2.13 today. You could sell a lot and then buy more into one. Oh, we're down $2.20 cents today. What's losing right now? Man, everything. The only green is Apple. Is it a crash?
Starting point is 01:23:23 The stock market crash? Yeah. Guys, get out. Sell. sell. I mean, I don't know how people do this. Like, when it goes down, it gets depressing. Well, that's because you can't watch it every day. Oh, I watch it for like 30 minutes a day. I just sit there and stare at it. And like, every cent goes up or down. I'm like, oh, dang, we went down again. What's it sound like that one that goes up? Yeah, let's go. We're making money.
Starting point is 01:23:42 We need to make sure he's taking care of his mental health. Man, no, this is, this is not good for your mental health. This stock market thing is, oh, we're down $2.21 cents today. Okay, but look. We're out. Our overall stock market thing folder is, down 2.24% today. That's not good. Where are we at right? Now we're down 2.26% today. Where are we at right now overall? Up $6.42. Now $6.44. No, no. Where are we at total number?
Starting point is 01:24:07 $96.44. Okay, but we're ahead. $96.45. At nine, if we have, make $9, that's a 10%. Oh, is that good? We're up 10%. But they've made to be up 10%. We're basically at up 60% right now. Yeah, Kevin and Morgan told me I was going to get rich. No, no, 6% right now. They told me we're going to get rich.
Starting point is 01:24:24 But you only put it, we've only put it in 90%. bucks, it takes money to make money and scared money don't make money. Well, let's go, guys. If you're scared, go to church. Hey, let's ante up another 30. Let's do it. 30 each? Yeah, 30. 30 more.
Starting point is 01:24:36 Let's go. Do you have one stock you put it all in if we give you 90 more dollars? Yeah, WWE, man. Okay, I'm in. Yeah. I'm in a motel right now. Wait, wait. Well, we're going to need, well, I'm going to have to sell something because the stock at
Starting point is 01:24:48 W.W.E. is $93. So if we put in 90, we only have $91. Okay, you know what? I'll do 31. Yeah, let's go. So that's 93. 31. All right.
Starting point is 01:24:57 Hold on. And you're going to buy a whole W.W.E. stock? Yeah, man, that's pretty cool. I never had a share of anything. I mean, it's not enough enough. No, I got one share of Rolls-Royce. And one share
Starting point is 01:25:05 of Revence therapeutics. They're not doing much over there. All right. I'm sending you $31 right now. Boom. Let's go. Don't hit me with you. We know, we don't have enough.
Starting point is 01:25:13 Oh, it went up. Oh, gosh. 31 bucks. You cover whatever. We didn't cover there. Okay. All right. Thank you for the stock market minute with lunch box.
Starting point is 01:25:21 If you guys want to trade, find me on the stock market. Can I trade with people we know? Like baseball cards? It says trade. So like do I send? You're trading with like the market. You're like, no, it's not. So I can't find like if we have listener Debbie out in Sacramento and she wants to trade and she wants my Rolls Roy's and I want her Toyota.
Starting point is 01:25:40 They're not baseball cards. No. Lobby bone show. Don't head. This story comes to us from Antioch, California. A man broke into three different optometry offices. Is that how you say it? And he...
Starting point is 01:25:54 Yeah. Nice. Autometry. And he went in, stole a bunch of glasses, threw him in the bag, and then ran out. Well, the third one, police had his license plate, pulled him over, a bunch of glasses in the back seat. No word yet if he's been framed. Okay. But you stole that line.
Starting point is 01:26:11 Is it in the story? I see. Don't let me see. You know it is. If you come up with it, that's hilarious. But you can't yell out somebody else's joke like you made it up. Ah, man. It's not saying it.
Starting point is 01:26:23 It's in the story. Wow. Are you telling the truth? Yeah, as far as I'm... It's probably the headline. Not in the story. Eddie, look at his story. Go to the headline.
Starting point is 01:26:30 We should give him his credit. If there's no... Anyauc police arrest suspect in the headline. Okay. Um, looking, looking... We need to give him his credit if it's not there. This is a straight up news story. No jokes in this one.
Starting point is 01:26:41 Mikey, I need you to go look. Because it feels like... Police allegedly... You see it? What does it say? Where? Keep scrolling. He stopped scrolling.
Starting point is 01:26:53 No, it's not on his story. Lunchbox deleted it somehow. No, I have it here. It says, no word on whether or not he thinks he was framed or what he plans to do with the stolen eyewear. Look at the last line, Eddie, of the paragraph. The last line of the news story said police allegedly located Alexander's vehicle in a Walmart parking lot found stolen glasses from other break-ins inside the car, period.
Starting point is 01:27:15 Did he just copy and paste that? I mean, this is the news story from the website. I don't know. I'm seeing the exact joke here on this version of the story. Huh. Okay, confess lunchbox. I'm gonna be honest? Yes.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Okay. So the one I saw it in, I was like, man, I got to find a different one. So I clicked and found a different news article. They didn't have the joke in it. Wow. Yeah. We have to commit you for being honest. But he wasn't completely honest.
Starting point is 01:27:39 Yeah, that's like cleaning money. That's what he did. Ozark when they do that. But that was very good because Eddie looked at the whole news story. It's not there. Not there. What you tried to do worked, but you had basically one of these forensic joke accountants go through and find it. Mike can find anything.
Starting point is 01:27:54 You got busted, dude. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story. Oh, you know what? What? I don't know if he saw these charges coming. I'm Lunchbox.
Starting point is 01:28:04 That's your bonehead story of the day. I wonder who his first contact was in jail. Oh, come on. All right, that's it now. Let's talk to Judy in Oklahoma. Judy, what's going on? I want to know why Lunchbox thinks that he has money to go to Las Vegas with Bay and Remando. But he doesn't have the money to pay you for the storage sale.
Starting point is 01:28:24 You know the $389 that he owes you? How come he has money to pay, you know, to go to Las Vegas and act like a high roller? But he doesn't have the money to pay you. Right, which I put money in as well. So he's messing with my money. Lunchbox's your answer? No, no, no, because once it was announced that I was going to Vegas, I went and bought a plane ticket. So I had that money.
Starting point is 01:28:46 If I wouldn't have bought the plane ticket, then I could... You're not supposed to spend my money. No, no, I didn't spend your money. And so I would have had money to pay Bobby. if I didn't buy that plane ticket. No, but it was a work trip, and so I knew I had to pony up. It was never a work trip. And you say, up here I like a high roller, I am a high roller.
Starting point is 01:29:03 When do I get my money? Oh, it's coming, man. Like now I have a flight credit. Would you like a flight credit? What airline? Southwest. How much is the flight? It was like $400 something.
Starting point is 01:29:14 I'll take it for $200 off the tab. No, no, no, no. Okay, well, then I want my money. No. Hey, he's sick. The hot gummy bear in five shows if we don't have the money, scuba. Okay. Oh.
Starting point is 01:29:26 No, no. I feel like once he was giving you the flight credit, the flight credit went down. Because the other day it was more than 400. It was 500 something, but I was trying to. Yeah. It's a great point. I don't know. He has all this money to do all this stuff, but he literally owes me money from money that I put into this business.
Starting point is 01:29:42 He won't give it back to me. What all stuff do I do? Well, then you also said, I put it all in March Madness while when I get paid back. But it's over. Yeah, yeah. But I got to, I had to send some payments out. Now I'm waiting for my payments in. That has nothing to do with me and my money.
Starting point is 01:29:55 This is why you guys never get into business with him. He has all these ideas. No, no, but we made how much, we made a lot of money. I've made nothing. I've seen zero dollars. Scooba, five shows. Okay. So I don't have the gun bear anymore, but I have those, the hot shot we can do.
Starting point is 01:30:06 Great. Let's let it rip. I mean, yeah. Yeah, Amy did that when I started crying. Oh, that was a bad. It was the only time on the show I thought, well, we might be fired. Because she starts just screaming. I was like, that's all she wrote.
Starting point is 01:30:18 Yeah. That's it for us. Okay, Judy, that's a great call, great question. Obviously, it brought up some emotion. Thank you for bringing it up. I hope you have a great day. You too. Have a good day.
Starting point is 01:30:28 All right, bye-bye. Let's go to Ryan in North Carolina. Ryan, you're on the Bobby Bone show. What's going on, buddy? So I'm getting married in October, and after nine years, me and her finally decided to do it. We're supposed to have a small wedding, and she's got a smaller family, and I do as well. But I have a lot more friends than her. I have, like, four really best friends that are more like brothers.
Starting point is 01:30:54 and they all are married and have kids as well. And when I told her that I was inviting them, she was kind of against it. And I was just trying to see, do I invite everybody or do I cut my list down? Why was she against it? Was it a financial thing? I think that this is going to be the issue here.
Starting point is 01:31:13 If it's a financial thing, which it could be, I think there's probably a good reason to. If it's not, if she doesn't like them, like why? So why is she saying, no, don't invite them? Because she wanted it to be smart. It's not financial reasoning, and she loves all my friends. It's just she said it was, I thought we were supposed to do a small wedding. And I was just like, well, it is small, but, I mean, it's just, it's going to be more kids than it is adults as well.
Starting point is 01:31:41 But I just, I don't know. Like, she's just, well, it's not totally with it. And I'm just trying to figure out what should I do. Well, I mean, inviting four plus one, eight, if it's not a financial thing, that still keeps it small. unless it was like two people. But more kids than adults, I would be a little like, okay. You're at a wedding? The Chuckie Cheese wedding?
Starting point is 01:32:03 I have a little issue with it so far. What do you think? I think that this is something you all need to express. Hey, these are my four best friends. They're like my brothers. We need to figure out a way to include them or I would like to. And what is something you would like from the wedding that maybe would make you happy if it's not the size.
Starting point is 01:32:24 Have you tried that, Ryan? Yeah. I mean, you know, I've let her choose pretty much everything. The only thing I asked for was to choose where the reception is at. I'm more of an outside person, so I want it to be outside on a grill. But, yeah, I mean, I've let her do everything else. And, like, and I told her invite, because she has a few associate friends, no best friends. Her sister's her best friend.
Starting point is 01:32:47 So, and I'm like, you know, invite more people. So, you know, it's not more of my side. Yeah, it sounds like she's holding it against you that she didn't have a lot of close friends. Especially if it's not a financial thing. Resentment? I don't know. Would you dig in? I'd probably dig in. I'd dig in now. Like I'd dig in and go, I want them to come. I really want them to come.
Starting point is 01:33:05 Like it means a lot to me. Yes. And what can I do? Because I'm willing to do what you want, but I really want them to come. Oh, when you said dig in, I thought you meant dig into the root of this issue. No, I just dig in and hold my fun and class. And that's why I was like, yeah, let's dig into it now instead of after the wedding. Ryan, I'd fight for it. I'd fight to get your friends there. You don't want to break up the wedding. Showbiz, baby.
Starting point is 01:33:24 If breaks it up, breaks it up. All right, awesome. Thank you so much. All right, buddy. See you later. I hope we don't destroy his marriage. I mean, nine years. Wow, wow, wow.
Starting point is 01:33:33 Good luck. How about that? Good luck. All right, thank you guys for the calls. You guys have a great weekend. Have a wonderful Easter, and we will see you on Monday show. I hope? Yeah, that's the plan.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Everybody plan to be here? Yes, that's a plan. Good deal. See you Monday. Bye, bye everybody. Yep, that's me, Cliford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media.
