Morning. May I feel pretty good this morning? Yeah. Do you look forward to Fridays? Absolutely. Yes. Who doesn't? Yeah.

I mean, goodness. I guess I'm just not as passionate. I like them. Fine. I'm not as passionate about them because I'm just not like working for the weekend. Like, I don't know how I like I'm going to work. Bones, everybody's working for the weekend. I hear you.

I understand that I'm in the... I just wondered how passionate you guys were about Fridays. Very. Oh, okay. Very. Eddie, you can go first. Let's go around the room. Go ahead.

All right. So I watched a movie called Blonde. It's on Netflix. It's about Marilyn Monroe. Pretty good. Look, I'm an old spirit, so I love watching these old movies. It's a new movie, though, about her? It's a new movie about her life. But it's, man, it's like I learned a lot about her.

Like, she had a rough childhood. She was a foster kid, in and out of foster homes. Didn't know that. And her, like, whole experience in Hollywood, it's terrible. I bet it was for a lot of women back then because they weren't protected. I didn't even think about that. And not that they even are now, but back then, there was no way to get word out. And so I looked at the Rotten Tomatoes.

What would you rate it? I mean, I would rate two Hollywood stars out of five because it's so dark. It's really dark and it's kind of slow, too. But me, I'm a fan of that kind of Marilyn Monroe and that year and era of movies. So I liked it, but I don't think most people are going to like this. But two out of five is not you like it. The rating system is based on you like it. I'm giving it two out of five because I know nobody else is going to like it.

But it's not about that. The rating system is not you're judging for everybody else. It's for yourself. It was weird, man. I kind of enjoyed it, but I didn't at the end. of it, I'm like, oh, I don't like the way this movie made me feel. So you're sticking with two out of five. I'm going two out of five. So your whole review of you liking it is not true.

It is. Two out of five. Two out of five. And it's nominated for an Oscar, too, which is weird. It got a 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. Two out of five, boom, told you. Well, that's three out of ten. But that's not how the scale works.

And one, well, one and a half out of five. Ah, dang. A little off. But I don't think you understand this. It doesn't matter. You're not movie, Mike. Eddie. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Lunchbox, you're up. I got a scam alert for you guys I almost got scammed in my front yard I pull up and I don't have a driveway so I park on the street and I'm getting out of the car and this white Yukon pulls up and the guy rolls down the window he's like hey excuse me excuse me I'm like yeah

I'm thinking he needs directions he goes you need any Apple wireless AirPods and I'm like scam alert scam alert! Go ahead and I'm like well I mean Bobby always talks about how awesome they are I'm like well what he was like I got three pairs for my birthday

and so I don't have a use for two of them so I'm just trying to get rid of them he goes I can give them to you for 40 bucks and they're still in the box with the plastic around it and I'm like hey man 40 bucks I Google them they're like over $100

you googled him in front of him yeah and then he goes but it's cash only man and I was like oh I don't have any cash man sorry about that so no Venmo so no he wouldn't take Venmo

and so I was like ah sorry and then I walked away I was like, you know what? This is just like the guy that pulls up to you in front in the Walmart parking lot and says, hey, I got a TV in the back, you want to buy it? So it's either A, stolen, or B, it's not really what's in there. If it was wrapped, maybe it was stolen. You could have taken, though, you got bought those.

You don't think you got three of them for his birthday? I don't know, it depends how good. Are his parents still together? If they're divorced, you probably got one from each. You know, that house sometimes. This was an adult man. You never know, though, how relationships are. This is like Emily the criminal.

Yeah. I haven't seen the show. the movie, don't run it. She didn't ruin it. She didn't ruin it. But she does ruin a lot of stuff, so I just assumed that was it. But yeah, man, I felt like a real, I mean, I almost got scanned right there in my front yard. If you'd have had the cash, would you have bought it? Yeah.

I think I might have too if it was wrapped. Because it was wrapped. It had the plastic around it, so I was like, how would they do that? We had a friend who bought an iPad in a gas station parking lot once, and then opened it up right after they left in this piece of wood. No! That's terrible. It's a wood block. Oh. So, I don't know if it was wrapped. plastic, but it was in the box. Okay, lunchbox, thank you. Overday. Amy, you're up.

So the guys have been talking about how they do their finances and stuff, and I happen to have a financial expert on my podcast. When you say the guys talking about their finances, no, lunchbox goes, I'm going to join Robin Hood and Acorn. And then he goes, do I have 401k? Meaning, I don't know what that is. It's like a something. He, right, he doesn't know, he didn't know what it was at all, which is fine, but he thought it meant he had just free money. I thought I had four and one. $1,000. Right. So it's just a whole thing. Yes. So we're not making fun of, they need help. Go ahead. So Paco de Leon is who I talked to. And she said for Eddie, or these guys, both of them, they absolutely need to prioritize the 401K. If they're gambling and golfing and doing all these things, yes, they need to have a fun account.

But that money needs to go into savings, especially. Your company makes it so easy for you. They take it out of your paycheck and you don't even have to worry about it. This company does take money out initially as soon as it happens. Boom. Paycheck. Boom, pull it out. Then the check goes to you. And then they match, depending on what season. Sometimes they stop matching during COVID. But then they match it, and then it's in there. But you just can't pull it out until you're older.

Well, what's the point of money if you can't use it? It's for your future. Savings account. That's the same thing about a savings account. Who has that? Not me. And I don't want money being taken out of my check. But it's still yours.

Still, you're taking it away from me for a second. I don't like that. Even for a second, even though it's going to make more money. How do we know that? Oh, man. Okay. Oh, my gosh. Okay, well, do that if you can.

And then for Lunchbox, steer clear of Robin Hood, that app you was talking about to make investments, she's like, oh, no, no, no. Oh, why? I use it a little bit of fun just to dink around. Well, she said that if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. I wonder if I've been having on my new phone. Oh. Because I don't use it a whole lot. Because some of the stuff is like free and you put.

I don't. Yeah, some people buy the premium, so maybe not. But potentially your information could be getting sold off. Everybody has my information anyway. I'm watching on webcams and I got the toilet on my lap. She recommended. I mean, I'm a computer on my lap on the toilet.

I'm just seen everywhere. I'm living a reality show that I don't even know. People are just watching me. But I don't mind Robin Hood lunchboxes long as you're not nutty with it. I don't know what that means. If it's entertainment. Well, no, because Morgan and Kevin told me I was going to make money. They said they asked their friends.

But you're listening to two people, they don't do this as a job. They're doing it as a hobby. No, no. That's what Morgan. Morgan says you have to be planning for your future. Which you can with your four. Okay. Anything else? Well, the app she recommended is called Betterment.

Betterment. Not M-I-N-T, but M-E-N-T. Betterment. Okay, thank you very much. Raymondo. From Mountain Pied, Arkansas, he's your Dancing with the Stars champ, and he drives really slow down an off-ramp. Bobby Bones. Thank you.

Hey, so I am now at Kindergarner, and that my wife, she really wants me to take vitamins. And so now she's prepared my breakfast for me. Did you see me come in with my little case? Yes. I did. I was like, is that homemade, or are you bought it? it. It was homemade. Wow. And so I just refuse. It's not that I refuse. There's a priority list of I only have so much time to do so many things. Sometimes I forget to grab vitamins by sometimes every single

day. And so she's like, hey, made you a little thing for breakfast. And she put it and then I got it. I was like, wow. But the vitamins are on one of the corners. So I had them all because they were there. But I'm now living the kid, can I got any more Cheetos left in there? No, I ate all the, I traded the Cheetos for apples earlier. Okay. I got some gummies if you I already tripped up. Maybe tomorrow we can do that. But you know who ate their vitamins this morning? You did.

This guy. I don't even know what they are. Should I know what the pills are? I don't think so. Who cares? I mean... She wouldn't be poisoning me, right? Right.

She wouldn't be killing me. Yeah. What? Well, I was going to say, we trust her. Yeah. But most people should know what they're putting in their body. We trust her. It's time to open up the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's mail bag. Yeah. Bobby Bones. I had a personal issue with one of my husband's family traditions. In his family,

it's expected that you hug everyone. Saying hello, hug. Saying goodbye, hug. Seeing that one distant cousin only a Christmas hug. I'm assuming they do it because that's just

how they have always shown love to each other. From the beginning, I got along with it and I've enjoyed it. But I'm now at a point where I dread seeing them and I'm even trying to stay away

from some of them because I don't want to hug them. I don't want to hug them. I don't want to be that in-law, but I would also like to have my physical space and desires respected and not hug everyone all the time. How, if at all, do I approach this subject with his family? My husband knows of my discomfort and supports me, but he also doesn't really know how to approach it. Sincerely. Sign the Midwest, touch me not.

Yeah, that's an uncomfortable situation for you to just not want to hug everybody. I don't like to hug everybody either. Not a big hugger unless I really want to hug them. you deserve boundaries. And sometimes the hardest thing to do is to set them. Not even to live by them, to set them. Because that's a bold statement. It's like I don't.

And you don't even have to go, everybody, no more hugs. You literally can just do things like put things in your arms. Like there are things you can do to keep from it, but it's just going to be difficult. You're always going to have to watch it. So I like carry things at all times. Hey, that's a hard one. She's always carrying grocery. I always got a watermelon.

Yeah, I didn't think about that. Or you can just, you can just, you. You can do like I do and make it awkwardly known up front. And then it just is what it is. Yeah. Because I will do it. I will go, hey guys, I'm not hugging anybody. I love you all, but I've decided I'm not going to hug as much anymore. Germ, germ guy.

Weird for a second, but everybody's like, well, it's him. He's weird. And boundaries are very hard to set when they come and they're a change of culture, but they're needed or you're just going to be miserable forever. And you don't deserve to be miserable. You do deserve to be able to set your own. boundaries. You don't want to hug. That's okay. There's probably a couple people specifically. You don't want to hug. And some you do, but now everybody don't, nobody gets hugs because

it's a creepy uncle. You know what I mean? At Christmas. Why is it always going to be the creepy uncle? It's always the creepy uncle. Always. You deserve to tell everybody, hey, I'm not going to hug as much. I'm weirded out by germs. Just say that. Mirded out by germs. And they'll think you're weird, but it is what it is. That's my answer. Say it. Be proud of it. Be weird. Move on. Everybody's weird for something. Yeah. Go ahead. I mean, I mean, I think, that maybe they won't even really have a problem with it. Hopefully they don't get offended and you'll realize, oh man

I'm not specific to anybody. Yeah. Meaning I'm not hugging Chuck anymore. You can't say that. If you say germs, I'm going to be like, well, what am I dirty or something? But it's not about one person. I know. It's like I would walk in at Christmas is what I would do. Walk in, husband. Hey everybody. Merry Christmas. I've decided I'm not hugging anybody.

I can literally picture you do this. My whole family would be like, you're so weird. I would do that. I'm not hugging anybody because I don't want to get, I'm just weirded out about germs. I'm having this thing right now. So please respect my no hugs, but it's awesome to see you. So every time you have a thing, I have a thing right now? Every time. No, but they would start to just know.

Yeah, eventually. People know. I'm not going to hug you unless I really want to hug you. I'll shoulder you. You'll come in, I'll just lean in to the shoulder. I don't want that hug you. And honestly, like, if they get offended by it, it's all. That's for them to work through.

You deserve boundaries. Don't ever forget that. Right. Sometimes it's work to set them, but you deserve them. The end. The Midwest Touch Me Not I like that There you go, that's the mailbag

Close it up We got your email And we let it on your air Now it's about to close Bobby's mailback Yeah You've all been given the task To come back with the most fun fact

You could possibly find Fun Fact Friday I'll go first I did not know this Elon Musk was not One of the original founders of Tesla What? I thought he invented the dang thing

Me too. The only one. So did I. He came on board in 2004 after the company had been around for six months. He invested $7.5 million to join the board of directors. He's just a rich guy? Wow. I thought he invented that.

We thought he was like Iron Man. Yeah, we'd give him so much credit. He's just a rich guy. So maybe he's a dummy. Wow, I had no idea. Did you guys think he invented it? Yes. Yeah, me too.

I thought it was just him in his garage. That's Apple. No, it always happens in a garage. It's always a garage. Amy. Okay, so did you know that smelling your partner's clothing can reduce stress as well as feelings of loneliness? You know, that's not the case of our house. She'll smell mine and go, dude, do you have like a shower?

Did you watch this? I was like, well, I wore this like two days in a row. I didn't feel like it needed. No, it doesn't smell good. So, yeah, different for our house. But why do they say that? Something about it probably the smell brings you comfort. Maybe when you have different pheromones that are coming off.

I don't. What if it's like must? Oh. Right. So maybe she's not smelling the clothes you work out in, but another shirt you've worn for a minute. Yeah, still not. That's still like. Probably.

All right. Thank you. More again. What do you have? Ice pops were invented by an 11-year-old by accident. So in 1905, Frank Epperson left soda powder and water outside overnight with the wooden stir. And boom, popsicles were born. So it was cold outside.

Yeah. And then he ended up patenting the recipe and sold the treat. to people and then it ended up changing the name to popsicle because that's when his kids called his concoction. I wonder if we made a bunch of money off that because popsicles is now so universal. Anybody can make it anywhere. Like I wonder if the guy who stumbled upon popsicles made a billion dollars off of it. Like every time you had a popsicle, you owed him a penny.

You just found out right now. Oh, wow. I'd be in debt probably. Eddie. Okay, so you know how when you go to the airport and they weigh your baggage when you check in, they're like, oh, I'm sorry, you've exceeded the limit. You have to pay an extra fee. Well, on a flight from China to Africa, a man exceeded the limit.

So he ended up wearing 60 shirts and nine pairs of jeans just so he would avoid those fees. And he wore it on the flight, 11-hour flight. How many shirts? 60 shirts and nine pairs of jeans. He put them on. But I wouldn't be able to get on. I don't think he'd be able to fit in the seat. I mean, that's Joey on Friends when he comes down.

Could I be wearing any of those? Exactly. I don't think I could fit on 60 on my shirts. I don't have 60 shirts, first of all. Why does he have 60 shirts on a suit? suitcase. He's going from China to Africa, right? I was starting his life over. I mean, I hear you. Yeah.

Lunchbox. Termites. You know, those little suckers that eat wood? They fart so much. What? No. Yeah, they fart so much that they're causing global warming. Cows, too. That is unbelievable. Those little termites. They fart so

much. You're telling me the termites are causing global warming? No, I'm not telling you. Termites are. Potentially contributing factor. Probably there's so many and the gas that comes out of them. It's so toxic and they do it so much it's contributing to global warming.

And by termites, do you mean you? No. I'm talking about the wood eating. I don't eat wood. Got it, got it. Because you fart a lot. It's a lot, yes. And it's very toxic itself. Fun fat Friday. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

There's a 16 year old kid in New York named Sky. And he noticed at his high school, that a lot of food was being thrown out from the cafeteria. Untouched food, perfectly good. And he's like, you know what? When I'm taking the train home, I'm also seeing a lot of people that are asking for food. So maybe I can come up with a win-win solution. And he did.

He formed the Food Security Club. 50 members have joined, and they take it upon themselves to collect the leftover cafeteria food and deliver it directly to food pantries and community fridges so people get to enjoy it for free. I think lawmakers in certain places need a little bit of, hey, a nice job, because a lot of times I'll do the opposite, where it was so against the rules for cafeterias or grocery stores or insert whatever to give away leftover food because of sanitation rules,

because of food cleanliness laws. But they allowed nuance to go if there is stuff left over, you can give it in some places and then it can be given out because forever it was just wasted. You had to go dig it out of the trash. So there's some lawmakers that have allowed this to happen, which we like that. Yeah, and here's a clip of a student talking about how it's also good for the environment. We aren't mindful of our food waste or what we're doing, not realizing that what we can do can actually help so much people.

And also saving food like this helps the environment, too. Love it. That is what it's all about. That was Tell me something good. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win.

lunchbox starts screaming for a tie this whole thing is weird may is memorial it's a tie quit the game September is late. I don't want anybody to win, man. They both would have got a win. Wow. No, no, no, no. Amy, good job. Good job, Morgan.

That was intense. That was intense. Let's play this song. Amy's our champ this week. Let's revisit a voicemail from Sadie in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who called us because this was happening to her. She had a problem, and she asked us what we would do in this situation. I'm a nurse, and I just got off of what ended up being, like, a 13-hour shift.

And I'm currently in the hospital parking garage stuck because the game. gates won't open. And I'm like the fourth car back. So we've kind of formulated a plan to just run through the barriers if they don't come in the next 15 minutes, which will make this an hour long wait. You guys always seem to have some pretty sound judgment, just kind of curious what you would do in the situation. And I will call back and let you know we end up doing. Yeah, I don't know what happened. I think my advice was just don't be the first person to run through the gate. You just benefit from the person who's going to be the idiot to drive through it and hurt their car and break it.

But there just had to be a button in a way to call somebody. And then Eddie was like, you push the bar up. Yeah, take like four dudes, push it up. It's got to move. Somehow there's got to be a release, right? Here is the update. They ended up coming and it was a lot of security guards

from the hospital and they did exactly what Eddie had suggested about pushing the bar up. I don't know if they had to unlock it first or what, but they were able to push it up three or four of the security guards. And that's how we got out. So I guess if you're trapped in a parking garage and you need to get out, I guess try pushing it up. I didn't know that that would work. But also don't be like bad and use that whenever you just don't want to pay

because then I'll feel really bad. I thought about that. Well, it sounds like it took three or four dudes though to get that thing off. So by yourself, maybe not. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So exercise is something that positively impacts your life. But what about the other things you can put on your list? For the days, maybe you can't get to the exercise. These are things that people are doing that have a positive impact. Eating nerd ropes. You ever had one of those? Those will definitely brighten it.

Man, I only have one every six months. They put me in a good mood. Those are great. They're awesome. Yeah, they're too good. Yeah. Is that on there? Nerdroaps.

No. But something like setting a goal for yourself to reach out to a friend or a family member twice a week. What I like about that is, and I've gotten a lot better at this, is I will just go through my texts or through my phone list because I now have a new phone. and I still, sometimes to my own detriment, I don't have everybody's number of my phone still, but I'll just scroll through who even I had not talked to in a while. And then I'll just text them and be like,

hey, hope you're doing good. I didn't talk to in a while. I have no reason to message you, but I just wanted to say hello. And then they'll text me back and then I'll forget to respond to that. But still, I tried. Like I did, I put through the effort.

Yeah, that's something you're doing to make your life better. Yes. Also, programming the do not disturb mode on your phone from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Can be a game changer. Funny, mine lives on that 24 hours. Oh. Do not disturb?

Yeah. Oh, cool. So if you message me, it'll say he's in Do Not Disturb mode because I don't know when I'm going to be recording. But then I can always look at it and see if I have a message. True. Yeah, so I constantly live on that. And making your bed in the morning made the list and writing everything down and making sure you go back to show the checkmark so you feel like you've accomplished something. Oh, yeah.

I got a to do list on my phone every single day. Well, it's like here you have your blackout thing. No, I don't. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You're like OCD about it to the max. No, I don't. It looks like straight government redaction up here in my desk.

Yes. If we finish it up, then I black it out and we cannot leave until I blacked everything out for the day. But on my phone, on my to-do list, I don't black it out. I delete it. So my list on my phone, my to-do list has to be completely empty. And it bothers me so much, just like there's a red dot, it bothers me so much if there's something up there at the end of the day. So today, I've got two things that I have to do so far. And one of them I may not be able to finish by today.

and it's already driving me crazy, I may not be able to delete it. Just delete it. No, that's not. No, no, no, no, that's not. Okay, go ahead. Okay, there's this TikToker, Rosie Grant, and she's doing something cool.

She cooks recipes that she finds on headstones. What? At the cemetery. During the pandemic, I guess she spent time walking around cemeteries. Don't know why. But she saw that some people put recipes on their headstones. And she's like, well, I want to try these out.

So she started making them, putting them on TikTok, and has got her a following. And I just thought it was cool, A, that some people do that, you know? Because, like, that's a recipe on their headstone? Yeah. It's like, maybe I guess if that's what they were known for. My grandma is known for Granny Soup.

And you may ask, what's Granny Soup? What's Granny Soup? She would just find whatever because she grew up in the Depression, and then we didn't have a lot growing up. We lived off our Social Security for a while. So she could basically take anything and make it into a really good soup. So it didn't matter what it was. We just trusted that once you said Granny Soup's ready, it was going to be good. I wonder if that's why you love soup.

I do love soup. suit, but she also didn't make smoothies. And I love smoothies and cereal. So, but maybe. So anyway, if you want to check out Rosie Grant's account, you can. Or this is also, too, a great reminder to write down recipes that you love so that you can pass them along to your loved ones. Well, I'm just counting on Eddie.

When he dies, to give me all those, the listeners to sit him. Yeah, yeah. Like a thousand of some reason. I got about 100 for you. Some of these pictures, though, of her standing at the cemetery, eating over people's headstones are weird. Oh, that is weird. She eats them there?

Well, she's like taking pictures. she's like, here's the recipe, and she's standing over the headstone eating like a potato chip. No. That part's bizarre. Okay? Blake Shelton was talking about his future tour plans during a recent Q&A, and he said he's modeling after George straight. He's like, George's got it figured out. He just does, you know, a handful of shows a year and does his thing, and that's now what I'm adopting.

I'm going to hit the road five to eight times. I'll do those shows, and then that's my tour schedule for the year. I'm going to spend the rest of the time. with Gwen and family. Pretty good if you can do it. He can do it. He's made enough money now. He's been successful enough to be able to have the cushion.

And he may even do a Vegas residency, he said. Well, yeah, that pays a lot. Yeah. He may even also do this other thing that pays a whole lot in his work. Okay. I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home, it's something good. Man, good old Chuck. Went by the Costco out in California. and you said, you know what, I'm going to get me that 85-inch TV, checks out, puts in the back of the truck driving home. 85 inches?

That's a big TV. Golly. Then Chuck makes the big mistake. He stops to get groceries at another grocery store, and he goes inside. But it's in the back of the truck. Someone steals the 85-inch TV. Gone. He comes out.

Nowhere to be found. And Chuck's all upset, calls police. They can't find it. Well, later that night, Tori is a nurse. And she's pumping gas at a gas station when she hears a, DOL! And she looks and she's like, man, something fell out of that truck that just drove by. The people that had stole it and fell out of the back of the truck in the middle of the road.

She picked it up, called sheriff's deputies, and they got him back his TV. Was it shattered? No. It was still in the box. This is a commercial for the brand. But the sound it made sounded like it would have fallen. But she said she heard a don't. Hold on.

How did it sound? Don't. And she looked and there's a big 85 inch TV in the middle of the road. And she called the police. They put a picture. on Facebook and the guy brought his receipt and good old Chuck got his TV back. Good old Chuck. I'm telling you, I'm looking at a picture of this box

this TV. That's a pretty big TV. I just don't know size of the TV. That's a big TV. Yeah, but my question is a good story but a bad story. Chuck. Oh boy. You can't with an 85 inch TV, you can't just leave in the back of your truck and go in store. Yeah, he's thinking about Chuck. Chuck, trust people. Well, he's a good, he's good old Chuck. Yeah, he's like, I'm just running into the grocery store real quick.

Who's going to steal it? Yeah, I mean, do you ever leave, you can't leave stuff in the back of a pickup. That's just ass going to get it stolen. I don't have to pick up. You're right, though. That's correct. Thank you, Lunchbox. Thanks to her.

Thanks to Chuck. Chuck got his TV back. Probably watching the Super Bowl. Oh, for sure. On that big old TV. All right, that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win.

A win is a win. I don't care which I'll say it. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined.

Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director.

Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean, like, the president? You think Canada has a president. You think China has a president. Those law a rousette. God, I love that thing. I use it all the time.

I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah. It is an actual Polish thing.

Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was. I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Paul show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You're here with us. We appreciate that. This is Heather from San Antonio, Texas, who left us a lot. voicemail. I am very excited because we are flying in in two weeks for the million dollar show. Never been. My husband and I are getting away for the night, away from the kiddos, and we're super excited to see you and Eddie and everyone perform. Just wondering if anybody else has been announced for performers. Either way, we are super excited. Mostly people have been announced, but I don't even know. That thing sold out so quick. I don't have to worry

about it anymore. It's a big concert that Eddie and I do for St. Jude, and then a lot of our artist's friends stop by and play with us. And so we'll make it a radio special too. So I don't want to spend too much time here, but playing with us, Parker McCollum, Randy Houser. Tracy Lawrence. Tracy Lawrence. Dina Carter.

Dina Carter. Come on. Come on. That feels like Britney Spears. Yeah. Can you feel that? No, no. You sound like Britney Spears.

She's not playing with us. Oh, no, I know. Yes. Dena Carter, we said that. Michelle Branch. Yes. The wreckers are back together for the first time in like 10 years. There's a lot.

There are a couple surprises that are happening to that I'm super excited about, but if you get a chance to ever come to the show, please come. We'll have it on the radio. I'm so happy you get to fly in for this show. We do it for a great cause. It's also exhausting, and it actually costs me a lot of money to do. But you know what? It's something. Eddie's donates his time for free.

I got to pay the band and stuff, obviously. So Eddie should get a little bit of like, oh, it's good, Eddie, but I should get a lot. Yeah, you should. But I do want a little bit. I should get a little bit. All right. Let's go over and hear from Meredith in Illinois. I just wanted to call in with the morning corny.

What did the fish say when it ran into the wall? Damn. Got it. Damn? Yeah. Like a dam. Over to Amy for her morning corny. The morning corny.

What did the accountant say while auditing a document? What? This is taxing. That was the morning corny. Lunchbox wants to start investing into stocks. He doesn't know much about it, but he thinks he can make a bunch of money doing it. I'd like to do a science experiment here. And I know you don't have an app that you use.

We can set you up on one. I don't want to even promote one because we don't have a relationship with one. Yeah, I don't have anything. I just was talking to Morgan and she was telling me all about these apps and just talk to your friends. And then that's how you make stock money. So however much that you put in, I will match. All right. And we're going to over the next month see if you can make some money off this.

do it. What does they call it? A day trader? That's what they call it, yes. So, how much do you want to put in? How much? It's 20? I don't know how much. I don't know what this stuff costs. I don't know. You can buy stuff for 80 cents. You can buy stuff for $4. Wow, let's do 30 bucks. Okay, 30 bucks. I'll match him for 30. Who's consulting him? Nobody. This is what the whole thing's may be. My friends. That's what I was told. Just talk to your friends. It doesn't matter. He just has to go and try to make money on the stock market on through an app. I will give him 30 bucks. Who can also. throw in 30 because we're going to split the proceeds at the

or the winnings at the end. Have you ever seen any money from him when you've gone in on things? No, he still owes me for shoes. No, no, no. You said deadline into February. Okay, 30 bucks though. Who wants in? Me? Yep. Anybody else? Nobody else wants in? Nobody else wants in? Scoobo, will you going for 30?

I'm putting money in for things, but he's in control of this whole thing? He is completely. And I want nothing to do with it. But you can, no, no. Yeah, man. Absolutely nothing. You can hold it over his head, though, forever. I don't need to hold it over his head. I don't give my money.

If you were helping. I don't know anything about it. Why don't you make money, dude? You don't want to make money. 30 bucks? No, I'm going to invest on my own. Poor lunchbox. It just may be me and you, buddy.

That's fine. We'll be laughing all the way of the bank. Just like, hey, the locker. They didn't want to get in the storage. You just did they. And guess what? We've been laughing all the way to the bank. I've not seen a single dollar from the bank.

Also, I don't think we were invited. No, you were. Amy, Eddie, 30 bucks? No. Okay, I'll do it. Okay, Amy's in. Okay, you got three thirties. Lunchbox, you're going to have $90, and we're going to set you up on an account.

Heck yeah. And then you'll have until, don't lose it. Don't bet all night. I'm going to bet on $1.90 stock. What, Mike? Oh, he loses the password and he's locked out forever. We're going to trust you. You think you can make the money off of it.

100%. And then we'll split it. What's today? February 10th. We have until March 10th. Let's go. A month? He has a month to make us some money.

There's a documentary you should watch Wolf of Wall Street. I've watched that. Okay. I know how to do that one. Perfect for you. I'm going to sell short. Huh? And that what they call it?

Okay, don't worry about that. We're going to get you 30 bucks each. And you're going to make it some money. That's all that's it. Eddie, I'm disappointed. You'll gamble $30, but you won't trust me? No, I trust my gambling picks more than I trust me. How much money are gambling?

What's it? Bulls or balls? What's that? Bull or bear market? It's the market, yeah. What is that? You're thinking about fantasy. Hey, look, here's the thing.

I do want to do a quick. Spill the tea. It just needs to be brought up real quick. Can you hit that? Let's spill the tea. I'm just getting tired of it because people... Eddie go. Guys, scuba's worked really hard to make our green room for our guests that come in here really nice.

By the way, scuba, you killed it, buddy. Scuba, Steve, set up the green room. There's, there's, it's clean. We got screens. We got, like, teas and treat. Coffee and flavor creams. Absolutely. Yes, great job by you, scuba.

And protein bars. Yes. If they're hungry, before they perform, they have protein bars. Well, guess what? Lunchbox was in there the other day grabbing a protein bar for himself, and he grabbed four more, stuck them in his bag. Okay, here's the thing. They were sent.

I don't mind. If you're just hungry, you can have a protein bar for sure. Thank you. If you're up here and we all, like, I got low blood sugar, I didn't get breakfast or have a protein bar. Don't take them home. No, I didn't take it home. You took four and put in your bag.

Yeah, I took in my bag. I had to run errands. What if I got low on sugar there? But they're not for that. Scuba, who pays for all the stuff in there? So that's tied with Hyundai who owns our green room. So Hyundai is paying for our studio food and you're putting the work in and he's stealing all the bars.

I didn't steal. So he took the kind bars that are in there, which I think there's a loophole here because that was actually sent for the Soul Losers podcast. What? Eddie. Eddie maybe didn't know that. No one told me that.

Hey, well then Eddie, you now get the L. Tom is hell. Let's go! But if you were taking a bunch of craters. I was nice enough to leave some in there for the artist. Here's the thing. So actually, I did something good. I left some in there for the artist.

Here's the thing. Praise on me. But if we're going to show you both of them, lunchbox didn't know either. He thought he was stealing from the show. Exactly. So he didn't know they were sent for sore losers either. He just now works in his favor.

So that tea has been dried off of me and on to you. But again, you were stealing them thinking it was show. Just don't take stuff. If you need something while you're here from here, use it. Yeah. But don't stick stuff in your bag. It's not like lunchbox when you stole from the cancer charity. No, I didn't steal.

I took four backpacks. Right. Oh, St. Jude. Thanks. Shut out. It's terrible. Yes, but there was... I took them...

They had different colors and I was like, man, they all look awesome. Right, and each of them should have got one. So I got one and I took three more. I took one for my wife. That's nice of me. But that wasn't the rule. I still got two of them in the closet. Right.

Doing what? Chilling, waiting for the time to be used. They're waiting. They just got a kind bar and I'm just waiting for them on. They just waiting to get called up. Okay. If you win the Super Bowl, each player's paid $157,000 as the winner. Wow.

If you lose the Super Bowl, you're paid $82,000. That's still good. Yeah, he still works. It's still good, but I'm saying you want to win the Super Bowl. Yeah. That's $150,000. That's the incentive. So even if you barely play?

If you're on the team, yeah. If you're one of the people who are on the roster, you get paid. Because you've got to stay ready. Yeah, and if you stay ready, you never got to get ready. That's right. That's right. So number one, number two, a lot of different factors when it comes to buying a commercial for the Super Bowl, this average price for 30 seconds is $7 million.

For this year, yeah. And let's not be the ones that come on to go, man, the commercials sucked. Commercials haven't really been a thing for seven, eight years. They do try to put better commercials on. But now we're in the land of everything's funny everywhere all the time. Things are compelling all the time. TikTok, other commercials are funny, viral campaigns. It's just, it's not like they're going to hold off in June.

We got this great idea. It's going to go viral. Hold up for the Super Bowl. No, they do it then. They do new stuff on the Super Bowl, and the commercials are fun. Sometimes they're like, wow, it's funny to see this celebrity.

But let's not be the show that comes on and goes to commercial suck. It's just not that environment anymore. But they do suck. They're not as good. Yeah, they're not as good. They're actually better, but everything else around it

all year long is better, which makes it seem not as good. Come on, dude. Bud Wiser. Bad. Wise. That's just you holding on to nostalgia, boys. Wasah!

Wasah! Yeah, that's pretty good. The NFL doesn't pay bands or artists for performing at the halftime show. None. So you do the show, you don't get paid. The artists aren't making a dime, but they do at least get their expenses and production costs covered. Oh, that's good. But they don't make anything. It's all just for promotion. So they do it.

The players in the Super Bowl get fancy cars to drive week of the game. That's cool. Every player on both teams in the Super Bowl gets a very fancy loaner to drive around all week. Wow. That's a lot of loners. but 53 man rosters. Yeah. Each, it's 106 cars plus coaches.

Yeah. Like, how many of those exotic dealerships are there? And there are no cars on any lot there? And then I'm sure they have rules. Like, you can't drive risky the week of the Super Bowl. Yeah, right. I don't think that's in the rule book. No risky driving.

A single ticket for admission to Super Bowl 1 between the Chiefs and Packers cost $6 if you wanted to go to that game. And that game did not sell out. The average cost this year is $9,000. You can get them very, very low for around 4 to 5,000. And if you want to get one of those sweets, it's half million bucks. Oh, man.

And if you want to wait till halftime, they say it's around 2 to 3,000 bucks. Still? If you want to get a ticket from a scalper at halftime. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's crazy. It's the only time where the scalpers won't sell last minute because the game's starting because they know they can pretty much sell all the way to halftime.

That's bananas. And then when it comes to the rings, everybody on the winning roster, coaches, executives, practice squad players, everybody gets Super Bowl ring. The players in the practice squad usually get one that's of lesser value, but it's still a ring. But the owner of the teams can also award rings to whomever they choose, meaning people that were just instrumental or gave good advice or great fans. Each franchise pays for 150 Super Bowl rings. And the league also chips in. So it's five, six million bucks in rings. That's probably something they're happy to pay. And those rings have a lot of diamonds. A lot of diamonds. They're really cool.

The Lombardi Trophy, which you win, weighs seven pounds, but if you were to melt it down, it's $50,000 worth of material right there. The NFL won't hold Super Bowls in cold stadiums. Now, that being said, they did play in New York, and it got pretty lucky. Yep. So that was the thing until they decided to play it in New York, and everybody's like, what if it's a snow Super Bowl? Then it turns out it was actually fine. Yeah. But for the most part, it's in Florida or Arizona this year, or New Orleans, but they're a dome.

Yeah, most of them are domes. They try to make sure that it's either warm weather cities. When I went, it was in Miami. Or if it's in Indianapolis where I went, it was a dome. Each team gets 108 footballs. That's it. Practice and play. That's it.

No more footballs because they've all got to be pre-screened before. Because some people deflate them. And they've got to have that Super Bowl logo on there. Okay, you guys went two different directions. Yeah. And then finally, more than 100 million people watch Super Bowl. every year. Now, whenever we get to the Super Bowl halftime shows, can you think of a halftime show that had country artists only? And has that ever happened? Amy? I cannot think of one.

Lunchbox? I'm not a big halftime guy, so I don't even remember no. Eddie? Not in our lifetime. So here are some people who performed at the Super Bowl. National Anthem, Charlie Pride, 74. Garth Brooks, National Anthem, 93. That was a controversy one where he's like, I'm not singing until you show my music video. And they're like, no, the Super Bowl. is about to start. Like, yeah, but I need you to show, you know, we shall be free. Oh, we shall be free. Yeah. And so they even went to the stands to ask John Bon Jovi if he'd come out and sing it last minute. And then Garts like, no, this video means a lot. I need. And so they played the video before the Super Bowl. Yeah. So baller. That's so baller. That's the goat right there. So

baller. Uh, here we go. 1994, a halftime show that was all country. What? Mm-hmm. It was called, I thought they had, uh, I thought they had a name for it. But, uh, We had Clint Black, Tanya Tucker, Travis Tritt, and the Judds, a 1994 all-country Super Bowl, halftime show. Since then, they haven't done that. Joel has sang the national anthem, Faith Hill. Shania Twain popped up in it once. Faith Hill did America Beautiful. Carrie Underwood, National Anthem, on and on and on.

But that's the deal. Chris Ableton will sing it on Sunday, the National Anthem. Looking forward to it. I don't have anything going on specifically, especially. We'll just watch the game until I like it. but there's no party, no gathering you? No, I don't. I didn't even know if you were going to one.

Oh, yeah. No, I hadn't thought about it yet. Maybe. Eddie? No, I want to watch the game with my kids. So no party. We're definitely going to have a spread, though. Wings, pizza.

Lunchbox? I got my options open. I like that. Way am I off. Yeah. That's good. Okay. I used to say that in high school.

Like, what are you going to do for? I got my options open. Yeah. Good answer. What would I do? Go to work and then go home and be sad. Okay. I hope everybody.

Hey, draft king's it up. I'm telling you right now. I'm going to tell you who's going to win. Who? The chiefs are going to win the game. That's it. The end, over. You said it.

I said it. They're even the underdog. But you heard what I said. And I said what I heard. And then we'll edit out of the podcast if it's wrong. Do you have Chris Stapleton's number? Did you text him? Yeah, text him over and.

Yes. I could. Ask him how long roughly. I don't text Chris. Okay. Do I have his number? Yes. But I don't really just go like,

what up, buddy? Well, this would be a good time, too. Mm-mm. How long roughly is your national anthem going to be? Roughly. Do I have time to go to the bathroom or do I not have time to go to the bathroom? Let's say two minutes. Yeah.

And you only had two minutes to live. Could you fit it in? Come on. Because that's one of the bets. Yep. Over under. Thank you. A win is a win.

When you listen to podcasts about AI and tech and the future of humanity, the hosts always act like they know what they're talking about and they are. experts at everything. Here, the Nick Dick and Poll show, we're not afraid to make mistakes. What Coogler did that I think was so unique. He's the writer-director. Who do you think he is? I don't know. You mean the like the president? You think it's Canada has a president. You think China has a president. Does law a rousette. God, I love

that thing. I use it all the time. I wrap it in a blanket and sing to it at night. It's like the old Polish saying, not my monkeys, not my circus. Yep. It was a good one. I like that snake. It is an actual Polish saying. Yeah.

It is an actual Polish saying. Better version of Play Stupid Games, win stupid prizes. Yes. Which, by the way, wasn't Taylor Swift, who said that for the first time. I actually, I thought it was.

I got that wrong. Listen to the Nick, Dick, and Pole show on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. His name's Ernest. And if you don't know him by his name,

his face, You'd know him by a ton of number one songs he's written for other people, wasted on you from Morgan Wallen, breaking up was easy in the 90s from Sam Hunt, more than my hometown from Morgan Wallen. I could keep going, but I won't right now. But also, born and raised in Nashville, started playing guitar and banjo at like 9, 10 years old.

It's almost like I love country music, but I also love to rap a little bit. He's got this song here, flower shops with Morgan Wallin right now. He's got a new album out today, and he's here. Here is Ernest. The Friday morning conversation with Ernest. It's good to see you, buddy.

It's good to see you too, Bobby. For everybody out there. This is Flower Shops with Morgan Wallen. A little song you may know. It's a jam, by the way. Thank you. And the record is out, but now you put out like a second half to this record. It's a lot of songs.

So the Deluxe album, how many more songs you put out today? 13. Why continue this? Yeah, I just was, I never stopped writing in that world when I finished the Flower Shops album. just kept writing. I loved the way it sounds. I liked it was just fun writing those songs. And looked up six or seven months later

and had a bunch of them. And instead of naming a new album and doing a whole new thing with similar sounding songs and storylines, I just wanted to do a part two. I never find even money in my pocket. This guy found like 12 new songs for a whole album.

Like I never just find a five and you're like, well, I got 12 or 13 songs. You can have, yeah. So two dozen roses, the deluxe version's out today with Ernest. And I just want to give you some sample here of what kind of songwriter he is, so you go check this out. But he's written a lot of songs that you would know and love, which by the way, Jelly Roll, son of a center. Ray, can you

play that? So Jelly Rolls, you guys are similar in that, you know, Jelly Roll is a hip-hop artist too, but he's for real deal. Country music. Same thing with you. I mean, you look at you, you're for sure country, but you also can rap. Yeah. Yeah, Jelly Rolls, you know, I looked up to him when I was in high school as a rapper in Nashville. And the fact that we've been able to go from where we came from to having a song on country radio is just, it's the beauty and the magic of Nashville, for sure. One Mississippi from Kane Brown.

I'm telling you, he's so versatile. What about you and Kane? This one here. Did you get this to Kane or how'd this work? Kane had a session with Jesse Frazier, and he brought in LeVon. A guy that just, like, messaged him, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It was LeVon's first. right in Nashville, and we wrote one Mississippi. And I told Levin, I think after that day, I was like, just know this never happened. You don't just come to town and write a number one song like that? That doesn't happen. I want to play What Have I Got to Lose? And I picked that. I like... Did you pick that? Yeah, I did. Thank you. I don't know. I mean, I don't know why you would thank me. Is there something about this song that you want to tell me? I wrote it with Dean Dillon. It's featuring Dean Dillon. It's super special to me. I love this song. You didn't have to say that super fast. You could have said it slow, right? Can I smoke a cigar in here?

Here is, what have I got to lose? When you talk about Dean Dillon, so I watched Dean Dillon do a songwriting session, and he was talking about writing songs for George Strait. And it's got to be so cool. This is like when you say, wow, Dean Dillon, like you're writing with a guy who wrote songs for George Strait and Toby Keith and all the legends, right? Yeah, yeah.

And he was telling a story about how George Strait called him and said, uh, Dean, I need some songs. and Dean Dillon You gotta think of like Old Western Dean Dillon's got long hair Mustache cowboy hair I don't know maybe 70

I don't know how old Dean Dillon is You think he's 70? He's timeless Okay timeless That's all he is And Dean Dillon's like Well I got some songs I got this song called the chair

I got this song And George's like Just get out here And so Dean said we picked up Just grabbed her crap George said Where are you when you come back He goes I ain't telling you where I am

And who knows if I'll ever come back Yeah He said but we got her stuff We drove out and he said, George needed some songs. He goes, you know, I didn't like funny songs. I don't like funny songs. He said, but this one made me a lot of money.

And then he goes into, I got some ocean from property. Man. So for you to write that, to write with him, that's awesome, dude. Yeah, that was like a bucket list dream come true to get to write with Dean. And so it was a shot in the dark to see if he wanted to feature on it, just because I couldn't stop listening to the voice note from that day of Dean just picking through it. So yeah, I was just like, would you play? please sing this second verse.

And he was honored too. And we've become kind of good buds through that. Isn't that what's crazy about this world is you have relationships with people that you almost get giddy talking about that you even know them? Yeah. That's how, I mean, Dean Dillon, I just went into a story because I just get so excited talking about that part of country music. Yeah. Like the old school. That, yeah, the stuff that I cut my teeth on before I even knew who Dean Dillon was.

So it was kind of like getting starstruck all over again and then sitting. in there and listen to his voice on it. You hear how influential he was on George Strait's career vocally. And guys that are cut in a Dean Dillon song want to sing it like Dink, which is like the ultimate respect as a songwriter because they want to do the song it's most justice. Well, he doesn't do funny songs, but he doesn't have funny. Made a whole lot of money on that one.

That one worked. Okay, Ernest is here. We're going to come back with him in a second. Two Dozen Roses. The Deluxe version is out today. track 12 through 24 If you haven't checked out the record already You should check it out

Because I want to play flower shops here But then there are 12 new songs I think the math's right on that 12 13 new songs Yeah yeah like I said I think the math's right The math's fine The Friday morning conversation with You have chickens at your house?

I do thank you Delaney She has eight chickens Eight and always had chickens Is this a new thing She had chickens when she was a kid Her mom had chickens But You know, we had the garden going and the garden was popping

And she was like, I think I want chickens Is there an egg like an overload at your house? There's about to be, we have We have a lot of eggs like we probably get eight a week now But only one chicken's laying So it's about to be, we're about to be the neighborhood plugged Well, knowing what it's like to have a bunch of chickens around Growing up in Arkansas, when you have chickens

There's just so many eggs you're begging people to take eggs Yes. Constantly. Yeah. You want some eggs? Hey, you want some eggs? Yeah. So I never met you. So you've been married for how long? Five years.

And your child is named after a very famous country music landmark here in town, the Ryman Auditorium. That's right, young Ryman. Whenever you guys were discussing the name, whose idea was it and was there any pushback at all? Not really. My last name is Smith, so we had to get interesting on the first half of it. And her last name being Royer, we were playing. with different R names. And Rhyman, A, it's a great place, but I just think it's a Nashville staple

and it speaks well. And it has a holiness to it. So his full name is Ryman St. Smith. If you ever wanted to do this, he could just be Ryman's saint. So I don't know. Ryman just, as soon as we said it out loud, it was like, that's cool.

Yeah, it is cool. I just wonder if there was ever like, I don't know, man. Should we call him Ryman? Should we call him Opry? Opry's a good dog name. Ernest is in studio with us. He's got a new record that's out today, though, before we get to a new song, just some other songs,

because Ernest has written so many number ones for way other, for a bunch of people, too. Breaking Up was easy in the 90s from Sam Hunt. A lot of people say Sam is, when he writes, is so particular and it takes him a long time because he is a perfectionist. What can you lend to that? I've had both experiences with Sam. I've had days, me and Charlie Hansom and him went in for maybe six months and just every few days he'd show up by Big Loud and we'd write. And a bunch of those ideas were just verse chorus ideas that never got finished or that maybe will one day.

And then for this song, we had a cabin in Franklin and we wrote it like a classic two and a half hour. Sam had the idea jot it in his journal. He's a pen writer. and he had breaking up was easy in the 90s and like some melodies started pouring out and we straight up

just sat and wrote the song and had a demo by the end of the day so. What's I like to have a melody pour out? If a melody's coming to me easily, it's like a puzzle

I can kind of feel where it's all going. So you'll, let's say where we're, just bear with me for a second. I like our audience to kind of feel a bit of what it's like

to write a song. Okay. So you and I, it's 10 a.m. We've decided we're going to write today. We've kind of set aside 10 to 3

to write. That seems to, That's the typical time for him. Sure. 10 o'clock. And I come in and I've got like six ideas. I'm excited because I get to write with Ernest. Hey, multi-hit maker.

Not only that, he's got two dozen roses that a lux version that's out today. I haven't said that in the writing session. I'm like, hey, man, great job. And so I pull up my notes here. And for example, there's a song that I have an idea for where I got trapped in a Sephora. It's called Alone in Sephora where I got law. I think Keith Urban texted me that I saw his wife, Nicole Kittenman there. And he said she saw her.

you alone in Sephora. And I was like, well, that's, that's, that's, embarrassing. So I wrote that down. So we were to say it was serious. And I was like, okay, I have this idea called alone and Sephora. And I really want to capture that I shouldn't be there and it feels kind of awkward. Okay. The smells aren't really what I'm accustomed to. And everybody's looking at me like, why are you, I wasn't buying anything. I don't do with my hands, right? I ain't even there for you. Just alone in Sephora. So I say, now we're on something. Wow. Smells kind of funny.

I feel kind of weird. All of this makeup and I'm growing a beard. Boom. Somewhere and some mall with no plan at all. And I ain't even here for you. I'm just alone in Sephora. I mean, that's amazing. Before that, put it out right now.

Wow. That's so good. So that's a. That's a melody. And then you collect the check and that's it. Dang. I love my country one that he wrote with Florida Georgia Line. Here you go. I love my country. With Morgan Wallen more than my hometown. How many songs do you think you've written with Morgan Wallen? Just guess. Rough number,

not going to hold you to it. More than 20? Yeah, I'd say like 70. How many are good, realistically? There's probably a good idea and 50 of them. And how many are great? I think 98% of the same. songs that he's cut that we wrote are great songs. What about him and you vibe so well when you write? We both kind of do the same thing like I just did. We're both down to pivot so fast if another idea pops up in the middle of the first one.

And it just never feels like a writing session. We're just kicking it and music's happening. Ernest is here. Flower Shops, Two Dozen Roses, a Deluxe Version out today, new songs that come out the second half of the original album. Pick a song here. that you'd like to tell me about because obviously I have them all and I have my thoughts at last break I talked about one of mine what do you want to talk about here? I chose this fire. It's the first song on the deluxe and like but you mean like track 12 or 13

track 12 yeah right and on the vinyl it will be the beginning of the B-side so uh wrote this with Julian Benetta Rocky Block John Ryan and we didn't know what we were going to write but there's this thing called AI and Julian was like well let's just put in country song titles on AI. And there was a list of like 20 songs and this fire was like the second one. So I was like, cool. We just started playing around. Illegal Smile was a song I'd been listening to a good bit, Mr. John Prine. And it's kind of got a cool tempo change or feel change. So we kind of ran with it and it sets the scenery for the rest of the 13 songs or whatever it is. Here is This Fire from Ernest.

It's good, man. Thank you. It's good. Because you used to be the guy that people were like, next one up, big ten. Now you're here. You've written a bunch of songs. You're doing it as an artist. But who do you see now where you're like, man, just wait. Like, that's about to be something.

Man, there's a... The market's awesome right now because there's a lot of cool artists. I'm excited for this kid, Cody Loden. I actually just signed him over at Earns Cadillac. But he's a great writer and great singer. I think Connor Smith is going to have him a good moment. He's already having it, but he's just a talented kid. The power of the songwriter, the songwriter artist is back, which I love because people are going to be telling their own stories.

So we'll see. There's more people popping up all the time. Meg Maroni's having a moment. Good for her. Two things that are back. One, the songwriter. Two, the vest. The vest is back, baby.

Yeah. The vest is back. I never have the confidence to wear a vest, and here you are, a full leather vest with, like, a Pontiac logo. What's that logo? It's a Cadillac. Oh. Was that what your car is? Or you had that made about your car?

Yeah, I had it made about my car. Oh, Coup de Ville. It's got a pair of pants that match. But I didn't wear them. What's it cost to get a best like that made? Seriously. Oh. Like some of a number one check.

Like over 200 bucks? Yeah, I think it was like, what was it? Like $750 or something? So that's like a gift. It's like I did it. Yeah, this was a gift to myself. Let's go. And the pants have flames and a big chrome wheel on them too.

I didn't have that much confidence today. It's like letter. I didn't have that. that much covenant. That's my Vegas outfit. I'm into it because it's like, you're just like, let's go. Here we go. And your hat says Bobby's Idol hour, I feel like that's an homage. Yes. Or an accident

to me. Yeah, both. Accidental homage. Well, look, man, you know I'm a big fan. I've been over on your podcast. You've been over to my house. I just, I think, I love how you do it. Thank you. Congratulations. Keep on writing the great songs and also singing them. So you guys check it out.

Flower Shops, the album, that has been out, but now it's even longer. It's, basically, it's put on weight. It has put on weight. It's just put on it. I've lost some weight and the album put on weight. Yes, that's where the way it went. There are 13 more original songs over there. So, and Ernest is a co-writer on all the songs because dang it, why would he not be? Yeah. Because the guy writes songs. He's also out. He'll be on Morgan Wallens one night at a time world tour. It's him. Bailey Zimmerman. That's another guy that's like... Popping. Just... Yeah. It wouldn't have been fair to use him as an example of somebody that will be coming up. He has... He done came up.

But his story's so crazy. He didn't sing. Yeah. He was singing at a basketball court. But at one time, he did one video on TikTok. Yeah. And he's like, oh, I guess I can sing. That's, man, the crazy thing.

TikTok will shoot some people up through the stratosphere that never had any business being there. And then it can also put a lot on somebody like. Yeah. To the opposite. It's the opposite. Suck me down into the depths of. It can do that too. It can work both ways.

I'm Chinese, basically. China owns it and they're operating our world now. There you are. Yeah. Are you responsible for the balloon? I am not. This one, the last one, yes. Okay.

There he is, Ernest, and I'll be putting out the song that I wrote by myself, alone in Sephora, with no penalties or lawsuits soon. All right, get the record. There he is, Ernest, everybody. See you soon, buddy. Good job. Bobby Bones Show. This story up the day. This story comes to us from Canada.

A 35-year-old man stole a 35-foot yacht said, I'm coming to America. Sets out on the open water. on the problem is he capsizes Mayday, May Day, May Day! And luckily the U.S. Coast Guard was in the area. They came and saved him, but he was arrested. This is the water version of stealing a car

that's a standard and not knowing how to drive it. Oh, crap. It's always choppier out there than you really think. Yeah, and if you don't know how to... Right. Regardless how choppy it is, that's a big boat if you don't know how to... Again, it's like stealing a big truck without knowing how to shift the gears.

That's true. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. The story was that the state of Texas, just in general, was thinking about eliminating TikTok. That's crazy. It is crazy to think that it actually could happen. The state of Texas has already said no to TikTok through its state-run organizations, colleges, state-funded.

Government offices. ABCD-E-F-G, right? So, and here's the thing. I'll say it quickly. I love TikTok, but I can't sit here and defend TikTok. because I've had a couple conversations and I've been lucky to have them with people who know a lot about the security part of it

and ensure they're gathering information. But you're talking about China having the ability to push a button and give us whatever they want. That's basically what it is. We don't run it. China runs it. And they can go, you know, why don't we just turn this a little bit?

They can feed us anything. And we're just eating it all up. So when you see, Republicans and Democrats acting together on something, it's usually a natural disaster. Yeah. Because they have to. And because they're acting together on this, it's kind of like that. It's like something they have to join together because they feel like it's an absolute threat to people.

That being said, I'm going to be swiping TikTok today. I love it. But it's a real thing that it could go away. And I never thought that would happen. Usually you think tech's too big. You know, Facebook or it's too big. It's never going to go away. If you start to see states eliminate TikTok, especially the size of Texas,

that Texas and next thing you know it's Alabama next thing you know it's 13 states then it oh then you got

black market TikTok I'll probably I'll probably crush on that so I just read the stories and Amy was talking about it this morning and to actually hear some of the stuff

happening behind the scenes is wild I don't want it to go I wish somebody in America would buy it but they've already tried that to move it over to an American entity kind of, but China still runs it. And it's the...

RIP TikTok. What happens to those people that make all the money? Like, what are they going to do? Well, they don't own TikTok, right? And that's the trouble in... They're going to be unemployed? Well, they've hopefully built other places. It's like people...

Let's say you're a big Instagram influencer and Instagram goes away. Well, Instagram doesn't owe you anything. You use theirs as much as they used you. Man. Why are you sad? Who are you watching on TikTok? You're worried about it. I don't watch it. Now, if it was only fans, I think you'd be concerned.

Yeah, I don't really... I don't watch anybody on TikTok. I don't know. I don't follow a single person. But do you get on TikTok? No. Oh, good for you. China doesn't get nothing on you. I mean, it's on my phone for some reason

because I got my name on there just in case I was like, oh, if I'm going to post videos. But I never do. Good for you, buddy. It's addicting. It's true blue American right there. That's right. You can see what.

I can just see people really fighting for their TikTok if it gets taken away. Because, like, man, I'll be sitting on the toilet, and an hour later, I'm still watching TikTok. Okay. Still on the toilet? Like, still on the toilet. He didn't realize he's on the toilet. He just looks down.

And I'm like, that was a whole hour. I got to get up and move on with my life. Eddie, you're so busy. Yeah, so busy. Hey, but I tell you, TikTok is so addicting. I will be the same. And I'll look down and I'll go, wow, I'm still on TikTok. And it's been three minutes.

Oh, three minutes. Different than Eddie. Different than Eddie. Because I got stuff I got to do. Wow, okay. Hey, we're done. Thank you guys for hanging out. It's been a great Friday.

All right, have a great weekend. New episode of 25 whistles up today. The head football coach from Florida State University. Coach Norval is on. I call him coach Norval. He calls himself coach. Norville, but we'll call him Coach Norval. He calls himself.
