that this didn't make bigger news, but a secret service agent that was watching. That was watching over President Biden's granddaughter, ended up shooting his gun at some people that are trying to break into a car. Wow. Like, I've never heard of a Secret Service agent, like actually having to take action. Whoa. And with somebody else, breaking into somebody else's car? It was a government car, one of their cars or whatever, but no one was in it.

They just saw that these guys were breaking in there. He's like, hey, get away from the car. And they started like, there was a confrontation. Got it. So they probably pulled a weapon, which made the Secret Service guy pull a weapon to protect himself. Probably. Not just seeing someone break in the car and he just starts firing out. No, I don't think so.

But, I mean, it's still, it's crazy. Like, Secret Service agents, you just see them like hand of the ear, you know, sunglasses. And that's it. That's crazy that they actually shot their weapon. Amy, you would see Secret Service on the University of Texas campus, right? Well, at... Which is Austin in general? Yes.

Well, when I was in high school and it was Governor Bush and his daughters were at my high school, they would, secret service would sometimes be at high school. But they would be like men in their 40s but acting like a high school kid? Hello, fellow kids. No, they would, before they could drive, that's who would drop them off at school. That'd be so cool. And then once the girls were able to drive, but like if their dad was coming up to the high school for something, they would be there with their little earpieces. That'd be so cool.

Yeah. And then, yeah, later, once they were in college and he was actually president, you would see them. Would they just be like standing outside protecting the dorm at all times? That would be so cool. Yeah. But you never get privacy. But you don't even need a security system. Who cares?

I know. That was one thing I felt really bad for them. Who needs privacy? I mean, there was a girl looking in your bed. They're not, you're not pooping and they're watching you. Yeah, but if you're making out with someone, they're right. Who cares? They're not, they don't care.

They're not, they don't care. They let them use a fake ID, things like that. Like, there was a girl that used to work at our radio station. She lived in an apartment. Same one is one of the Bush sisters in college, and someone was breaking into a random apartment. A bad idea. Guess who's sitting outside? Secret service.

Got them? Yeah, because they weren't, they weren't breaking into her apartment, but they were. Sure. They could have been breaking into her to get to her. But they weren't, but they, yeah. All right, Lunchbox, what do you have? I'm going to say congratulations to Eddie for not bringing a boring one day. I know.

I thought it was going to be a science one. I had a science one that was really good too, but I was like, you know what? They don't want to hear it. What was it, though? It was these astronauts. They lost their tool built in space. $100,000 tool built. I saw it.

They can't find it. Yeah, it's floating out there in space right now. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Did you see the professor that wants his body, like, blown up and sent into space when he dies because he wants aliens to clone him? What? I like that one, too.

Boom, let's go. Lunchbox. Fire Festival 2 has kicked off with no catastrophes. Billy McFarlane, the guy that went to jail for scamming all these people, he announced that he was doing it again. And so the first people that bought tickets, he took them on zero gravity flights. You can go to New York, get on an airplane, and feel zero gravity up in an airplane. And so like 50 people, he took them up because they're the first 50 people to buy his tickets. So Fire Festival, though, hasn't happened yet. No, it's coming up in a year.

Right. So it could be a catastrophe. No, no, he said if you're one of the first. ones to buy a ticket, I'm going to take you on a zero gravity flight. Yeah, I hear you, but the festival could be a catastrophe still. You said there were no catastrophe. Right. On this. Like, he said he was going to do something and he came through.

Pre-sale people. Yes. But has he done? It's not even the festival. Yeah, they went on the flight. They went up and fell, and they have a thing. You can make it zero gravity and feel it. I wouldn't trust it.

Who's playing at this fire festival? He doesn't have a book yet. See, okay. It's so stupid. It's already a catastrophe. All right, Amy, what do you have? Well, if you're looking for love, you may want to consider a move to Seattle because that is the place for singles to find their soulmates.

They put all that sits the top one. They based on economy, percentage of population that is single, the number of online dating opportunities, the average price for, you know, two people going out on a date. Yeah. It's too far back in time zone. Oh. Well, Madison, Wisconsin isn't number two, Denver, Colorado three, San Francisco four, and Portland, Oregon five.

Yeah, Portland's cool. Same time zone, but just feels different. Seattle feels so isolated. I like it. It feels so isolated. Like you're just in a different country. Because you're just so up there and back. Really cool city, but it just feels like forever to get anywhere.

Madison Wisconsin, shout out. Yeah, I like Madison's Consum. Finally, life expectancy for men in the U.S. falls to 73 years. Six years less than women. Yeah, we're at 70. Yeah, 79. Oh, because I thought we were at 78. You got them with that math.

I thought we were all going to reach 100 or something. No. No, definitely. The expectancy of men. It was 74, then 73.2, and now it's straight 73. What are we doing? Yeah, what are we doing? I mean, it was 77 in 2020.

Oh, man. That's crazy. Maybe. Stress? I mean, yeah, stress. Trying to just. And of all the countries that are developed, we're like the worst. Japan, Korea, Portugal, UK, all 80-year-older.

It's got to be preservative, so. So would you trade living in the United States? United States. I had to go live in one of those countries. I never lived in one of those countries. I'm going to say yes. My answer is yes. But then you hear about people in Sweden how happy they are all the time. So you'd rather live in another country if you're going to live longer? No, that's not what I said. I would rather live here. But I've never lived in another place to even answer that question with any sort of intelligence or not. Are Sweden people really happy or do they just say that to make everybody want to come visit Sweden?

I'm not a Sweden person. Never been to Sweden. So in Sweden, the life expectancy is 83. Yeah, it's pretty solid. That must be really happy. We need to go to one of those blue zones. I saw that. I've seen, there's like a documentary on that, huh? Yeah, it's what we need to live. What's the blue zone?

They live the longest. They live like 100 years old. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've read about it. They probably don't have technology, though. They do, they're not. They're not off the grid. Yeah, I was going to say, well,

but it's just more there. What's the person, not Mormon? Amish. Amish, thank you. Yeah, they're not Amish. Yeah, they're not Amish. There you go. Mormons in my head, we went to BYU.

Yeah, yeah, it's fresh. They're the, the Mormons are the nicest people, though. If it's nice, like, they're the nicest. There's a video of Eddie snapping a ball. He's trying to be a deep snapper, and it skips, like, five yards in front of the guy. And he's like, you did a great job. Well, five more yards, but that was a great. It was terrible.

Yeah. It's just like the sweet. They're just the sweetest guys. They're very nice. Yes. Anyway, there you go. That's the news. Let's get the show started now.

Dolly Parton coming up in a little bit. She'll be on this hour. We'll do the dance party. We also have Fun Fact Friday, easy trivia. Thank you guys. Bobby Bones Show starts now. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. I'm sure you know, but Dolly Parton, we went to her place.

We had this really long, hour-long talk with her, which we're going to play back here. And you can watch it too up at Bobby Bones.com. But it's like, do I have to explain Dolly? Okay, Jolian here. But also this, in that she has a new record called Rockstar, where she has a lot of massive stars with her singing, like, their big songs. You know, she's Miley Cyrus's godmother. And this is her and Miley doing Reck and Bollinger. I came in like a wrecking ball.

Always love spending time with Dolly. Let's go with Dolly Parton. The Friday morning conversation with Dolly Parton. The songs that you chose to do, because there are just so many great songs in the world, period, but you chose some of my favorite songs of all time, and I was just talking to you about, don't let the sun go down on me. Why did you pick the songs specifically for this album? Well, I picked song that I love, and I pick songs that my husband loved, because he's the real rock and roller,

and he was a big inspiration. for doing the album, but I picked this, don't let the sun go down on me, because I love El John. I love his singing and I love his songs. And every time we get together, we're always singing together and it sounded good. And so I thought, well, I'm doing this song on the album

in hopes that he was singing with me. So of course he said he would. And so this is a highlight on the album for me because I love how he sound and that's just such a good song. The first time you guys sang together, where, how, like it's just such a, you know, collision of awesome. You know what? The first time we ever did sing together, we were behind stage. Actually, he did, I did a song, the song Imagine years ago. I was on one of my albums, and he sang it with me on the CMA Awards. He played the piano and I sing it. And so backstage, though, we were singing all these great old country songs. He knew them. He knew every country song in the world. Those great songs like Behind Closed Doors, he especially loved that, make the world go away.

all that. So we'd start singing and we just sound so good together. And we said, you know what, we got to do an album together someday. And we never got around to that. And we're both too old starting now probably. But I thought when I did this song, I'm going to see if he'll sing it with me. And he just was so nice, jumped right at the chance. And I thought it turned out pretty good. With this album being a rock record, I mean, it's called Rockstar, I'm friends with the president of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And there was, we want Dolly and then it was Dolly says she's not

not really deserving to be in the world because she didn't do rock music and then now I mean to me the Rock and Roll Hall family is just if you do awesome music like rock and roll is so just synonymous with great great music doesn't matter the format to me how much of that was true to where you were like

I just don't think I deserve to be in and how much that was kind of made up no it was not made up because I I hate controversy of any kind I don't like to be in anything that said Dolly do this and you know in a bad way But when they said they were going to put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I thought, well, why in a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Because I know so many people like Meatloaf and some of the greatest artists of all times that, you know, almost to the point, you know, almost as they get almost bitter about the fact that some of the greatest artists have never been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And I thought, I thought, I am not taking votes away from people for them to put me in the Hall of Fame just because I was having a hot street.

at the time with other things. And I didn't feel right about it. And so I said no. I thought other people, because I spent my life in country, anything they give me in country, I'll take it. I will. I'll feel I deserve it because I've spent my life for that. But anyway, when they explain what it was

and that it's people's music that's influenced other things, when I had a better understanding, I understand more why. But I just didn't feel right about it still. So I'm like my daddy, I don't want nothing that I don't earn. So when they put me in anyhow, I thought, well, I'd always thought about doing a rock album. I thought, timing's everything and I didn't want to miss out on timing. So I thought, well, I'm going to do it. So I announced it there that might.

I said, I'm going to think about doing rock and roll album. Any of you want to join me? And a lot of them did. But no, it was sincere. I wasn't making it up for attention. But was this album really, because you mentioned your husband, too, being a big factor on the songs or a pick for it, But was this album, did it derive from you going, well, now I got to do a rock album?

Kind of. I felt like I needed to earn that title. And now I feel like that this album is good enough. I think of some of my best work. I chose great song. And I also chose great artist to sing with me. And now I feel like I at least earned the fact that I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And if somebody sees my name, I was.

Oh, yeah. Did you ever hear that rock? The rock album sheet, of course. Everybody talking about it. Yes. You hear a rock star? And that was, the title was just tongue and cheat. I just kind of like here I'm at 77 years old and I'm gonna be a rock star you know it was just I thought well why not I'll leave that from my legacy

What was the first track you cut because that's that at least the first one you knew you wanted to cut? Well, I think the first one I cut was a song of mine because I wanted to get comfortable and it was more country flavored it was the my blue tears that I did with Simon LeVon I wrote that song when I was young kid and I'd record it a couple times even with in the the trio album with Lyndon, Emmy. And so I did that one just to kind of get, you know, get my stuff going. And then we started cutting songs like satisfaction.

I think that was the second one. And then we just really went on with some of those hard-ass, you know, rock and rock. The real rock, right? Real rock. What about Simon made you go to him first to say, hey, do this song with me? Because you wrote that by yourself, right?

I wrote that by myself, and I wrote that years ago, but I thought this song was so pretty. And I wanted to add more to it. But the reason I picked Simon is because he was on the rock and roll. He went in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Duran Duran. That night, same night I did. Same reason I picked Pat Benatar and Rob Halford. They were all there that night and I got a chance to talk to all of them.

But that one, I just thought it would make just a beautiful song. I just pictured that song about going off to war, you know, like all the war going and, you know, that lovers and husbands were going off to war and the girl singing, you know, my blue tears. And I just pictured that as a movie theme almost. And I just thought Simon's voice was so beautiful because it was old world, and I did some harmonies, that old world type harmonies with myself.

But he's got that really beautiful, high-pitched voice. And I thought he was perfect anyway. Whenever you're singing some of these songs that other artists made famous, we talked about Elton John, but Sting, with every breath you take, Steve Perry journey, open arms. Do you have pressure?

Do you put it on yourself when you're singing a song and then you're asking the original artist to get on it with you? Is there a standard it has to hit before you'll send it off? Well, you know what? I talked about this on different things. I hate to ask anybody to do anything. Anybody asked me to sing on anything? Nearly 99% of the time I will.

And if I don't, it's just because I can't make the time to do it or something. But I just listen to the songs. I think who would be great on it. I actually recorded the whole album and had not thought of putting anybody on it. Then after I got the album recorded, then I started thinking, wouldn't it be great? If I could get some of these artists.

So it was hard for me to ask them. Because it wasn't that I thought they'd say no so much as because I know we're professional and they would if they could. And they gave me a good reason if they could. You know, let's make it sound right. But I just, you know, I just had trouble doing it, but I thought, well, it'd be worth it because it would be great if I'm going to do the rock album to really make it something special. So when you did ask Elton John, do you call him, do you text him, do you send an email, handwritten letter?

No question. I did it every which way. I mostly called the people, you know, or wrote a note through my management because my manager knows everybody else's manager. So we did a lot of it through their managers. so I didn't have to put myself nor them on a total spot. But I wrote the note myself saying what I wanted to say to them. Then I thought, well, if they get back to me, they can just say they can or whatever, and they won't have to be hit upside the head with it.

But they all came back, or they called me. I left my number. Of course. So they could call me or they could call the office. You know, we're country. We just do what we do. But my heart was open to it and to them. And I was really honored that so many of them wanted to do it.

I picture there's a meme or like a beautiful mind where he's doing, you know, there's connecting all the dots and the ropes in that movie. You doing this with songs and all these artists because it's so many great artists. And you're going, well, Debbie Harry sounds really good on this one. But what if? Because she's so good. Like how did that process come together? Well, actually, when I recorded all those songs,

I thought about all those people that were still living and still productive. Some of we hadn't heard from in a long time. you know, like Steve Perry, who was always one of my favorite singers ever. And some people say, I don't think you'll get him because he doesn't work that much anymore and this and this and this. Well, when I got in touch with him, he called me right back. And he said, I've been a fan for years. I used to watch you on the Border Wagner show. And my family loved you, so I knew you.

So they all had their own kind of story and their own kind. Same with Rob Halford. When we were standing there at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he was saying how, His whole family grew up on my little color of many colors. He was naming songs down from Dover off of albums that you'd have to really know of my history and know me to know some of the songs. And so we just made some, we just made personal connections. And then when I called about singing on it, they were all in. Well, so 79-ish albums, do you know?

That's how many that you've recorded. And we were looking at that number and I think even just contributed to 2,000 songs. So do you ever have times where you're like, hmm, what are the lyrics to that song or any time where you

could you sing every song that you know you've ever been a part of? Well, I know the melody, you know, like if I hear something but I couldn't go out, I couldn't take my guitar and sing, you know, a lot of those songs. I can, the ones I sing over and over on stage every night. But a lot of times we have teleprompters anymore.

The older you get, the less memory you got. But, you know, but I know the ones that I sing all the time, like Jolene and, you know, all those. But yeah, it's not easy to remember all of them. Then sometimes I'll think, did I rap, you know, I'll hear, I'll see a title and I think, I don't remember what that song is. Yeah, I was going to ask you, like, sometimes just in Kroger or something, and you hear a song of you singing, like,

I don't remember. that song. Well, I do. You know, sometimes I'll hear something and I'll think, is that me? Is that my song? Or I'll think, when I'm going through my stuff, my catalogs, I'll see it, or I mean, if somebody says something, I see a list of songs. I don't remember what the lyrics are until I, you know, look it up.

And then I think, well, do I remember what the tune is? Are you ever like, oh, dang, that's pretty good? I did a great job. Well, I do that a lot. And then I'll think some of them, no, that's not good. I know why that was never a hit. The boat behind the seams, it's interesting to me because something that you're so known for and celebrated for, we now understand that as being normal. However, you're the one that had to kind of create these new highways for people to drive down.

And I would assume that it always wasn't so easy where people were just celebrating you for your fashion. People had to be like, wow, what is she wearing at times? Where now again, we look at it and go, that's Dolly. She's set the standard for everybody else. But when you're around, when you're someone who's breaking ground on new things, there's a lot of, criticism or there's a lot of just judgment on you. Yeah.

Couldn't have been so easy all the time. It wasn't, but I chose to be myself even still. Some things would embarrass me, some things would hurt my feelings, but not enough to stop me. You know, because I always just worth things that I was comfortable with.

I didn't have the money to be fashionable, you know, back in the days. But I just wore what I was comfortable with, what I thought fit my personality. And it was a country girl's, of glam, you know, my backwards Barbie look, so to speak. But it really was, you know,

when I wrote the song Backward's Barbie, you know, it's like I'm just a backwards Barbie, too much makeup, too much hair. But don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there. You know, don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe that I'm as silly as I look because there's a lot to me

kind of idea. But I just felt, if I had anything worth having, people would see it in time. If my songs were worth singing, and recording, people would find them in time. So I felt it was more important that I pleased myself and that I be happy within myself and that I'd be mostly be comfortable in my own skin,

as I say, no matter how far I've stretched it, but certainly I need to be comfortable in my own clothes and in my own self. So if I'm comfortable, everybody around me is comfortable. I love that you said that acknowledging that it hurt your feelings, but you were going to let it stop you. I feel like with especially social media and just so many ways for people to make contact with other people,

like feelings are getting hurt often, especially like behind a keyboard. And so what advice would you give to someone along the same lines of like if something does hurt your feelings? Because I could imagine a lot of people shut down after that or they use it as an excuse to stop. And what would you encourage them to do? That's a good deep thought you have.

But it still hurts, no matter how big you get in the business or how successful you are. I mean, most writers are very sensitive anyway. You have to live with your feelings and your heart on your sleeve in order to be able to do things. So you just have to try to forgive, first of all, or just to try to look over it and just say, that is, I cannot just dwell on that. I got better things to do. That was their opinion of me. That's not my opinion of me.

you have to think about, it's more important what you think of you than it is what somebody else thinks of you. That's what that old saying, I guess it was Shakespeare or somebody that said to thine own self be true. There's a lot to that statement if you think about it. Because if you're true to you and you know who you are, you'll rise above that hurt. It'll steam, you know, but you know, but you still, you can't let that cripple you in any way. You just got to cry it out, Move on. Final question I have, Free Dolly. And the record's out today.

The book came out last month. I want to go back to the Grand Al Opry. You're 13 or 14 years old, the first time you play it. Do you have a memory of that and then the tale of the three standing ovations? Can you remember them? My first time I played the opera, it's all a blur when I was doing comedy at the opera. It's all a blur. And I don't remember it that well.

Can you remember that? Because that seems like such a big moment. Well, I remember even the very first time that I was all the first time that I was all the first time that I sang on the radio when I was 10 years old. And that's when I got addicted to that feeling of that audience where it gave me confidence

and that same thing. You know, it gives you confidence. It makes you feel like you're doing something right and I always say that was a lot of that was not because I was so good. It was because I was young and because I was little back then. But that's just like a shot of adrenaline and that just gives you

encouragement. That just gives you more you know, it's like fuel to the flame, as they say. But I remember all of the things. The same thing, the same way I feel now, when I'm out there in the audience, and with the audience out there when I'm out on stage now, you never get over that feeling because it's like a, whew, you know, it's like a great feeling. You feel like you've done something right.

You feel like you've done something good. So you're proud of yourself and you're proud of them, you know, for making you feel good. that you feel like, well, they made me believe that I'm worth what they've paid to come to see me because, you know, the fans are everything. We all want to think we're good at what we do. But if we didn't have that following, if we didn't have those people that believed in us to the point of buying records and all that, we wouldn't have them.

So there's something to be said about when people react in that way. It makes you feel good and it makes you feel proud and it makes you feel like that you've done. something right and something good. The album is out. Today, it's Dolly and everybody else that's super famous, but slightly less famous to her, because nobody's more famous than you. You're the queen.

You're the queen. 30 songs, nine original tracks, and 21 iconic rock anthems. And I thought, I don't want to say iconic rock anthems. That might feel, but no, it's true. You picked the biggest. I did. I wanted to pick the best songs with the best artists

that I could find to help me out on. Andy behind the seams. I don't think we ever mentioned it. We did. Behind the scenes came out last month. Oh, you did, yeah. I didn't know if we had the title of it yet. My Life and Rhinestones. The subtitle I didn't get to yet, but that's life and ryanstones. You have a lot of rhinestones.

It's your closet full. If you were to weigh all your clothes in your main closet at home, pretty heavy? Oh, good Lord, yeah. Yeah, I figure. Well, do you. You couldn't lift them. I can't only sing in them. I feel like the character that you play in Steele Magdalias, just real quick,

because that's one of my favorite movies, top three of all times. Steele Magnolia's pretty woman dirty dancing. Yes, and any of my friends that haven't seen it, we sit down, we watch it. And Truvie, I just didn't know if when you play a certain character, what you learn from that character. And if there's anything you remember learning from Truvie or a takeaway from that time. Well, I love doing Truby, but that was the easiest thing I've ever done because I used to think that if I hadn't been, hadn't been made it in the business,

I'd have been a beautician. because I'd have had to have had the makeup and the bleach and all that. I'd have got a discount on that somewhere, so I would have become a beautician sincerely. So when teasing came out, I've often talked about it, I was doing not only my hair but my girlfriend's hair. And even after I became my star, a semi-star and was doing specials, had my family in it, I'd do my hair, my mama's hair, my sister's hair.

And so I would have been a beautician. So on that particular show, I really felt like that was about the easiest thing I'd ever done because I felt comfortable in that beauty shop. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you were great in that. Thank you. You're the best.

So behind the scenes, My Life in Rhinestones, it's the book that's been out for three weeks or so. And then the album Rockstar, which we've been playing songs from for the past couple of months as well. Thank you, Dahl. Thank you. Well, I'm honored to be with you anytime, Bobby Bon. Thank you. There's no crowd. And there's no crowd.

And there's always a doll. She makes you look good. She, yes. Thank you, Doll. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying. 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. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement

to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, celebrated. One week I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music. The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast, it's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't

always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. In 2023, former bachelor star Clayton Eckerd found himself at the center of a paternity scandal. The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice in someone, correct?

I doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for. Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Alesspian and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown.

I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences. Ladies and gentlemen, breaking news at Americopa County as Laura Owens has been indicted on fraud charges. This isn't over until justice is served in Arizona.

Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either.

We always say that trust your girlfriends, I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no.

I vowed I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends. Trust me, babe. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Intersection takeovers are now a thing. I saw this.

This is so stupid. Yeah. Well, yeah, but the more it gets posted about on social media, the more people are like, oh, I can get a little notoriety here. I'm going to do it. Well, I'm going to tell you you're also going to get arrested. Okay. So we're back to even, so go ahead.

So go ahead. I'll tell everybody. Right. Yeah, so in the intersection, cars just start to go into circles. and cause major traffic situations. If you get enough cars that are driving in circles, basically you're just trying to stop traffic. That's it.

Yeah, and they call it an intersection takeover. No one can go any which direction because you've got a group of people speeding around in these circles. And police... Seems like someone would wreck into them coming through the light. Well, no, they can't. They don't go. Nobody's going.

Yeah, no one's going because there's cars doing circles. Man, interesting. Yeah. So are they friends that do it or like just random people? You kind of have to do it. It's a group. It's a group. Yeah.

It's like a flash mob. You plan it. It's a dangerous flash mob. It'll get you put in jail. You definitely know them. You don't recruit people on the spot. Like, hey. I would rather like hold hands across a line or something with like a sign.

In the intersection? It's said like Mr. Bobby Owens, follow him on Instagram. Then do a car in circles. But what if nobody sees you? They will. Just crash into the line? They will.

It's not a red rover, dude. Okay. But yes, it's dumb. Don't do it, everybody. Yeah, don't do it. And you're putting lives at risk. Like it's a whole thing. So, yeah, intersection takeovers.

A woman quit practicing law because she realized she was a pet psychic and she could make way more money. And what she realized was she can make way more money acting like a pet psychic. Yep. No. Yes. She found her passion talking to animals. Found her passion. Milding people for money.

She gets about $350 for one animal psychic session and. Crazy. People will pay for anything. People are stupid. People are so stupid. She says what. She tells you what the animals seen. How do we know, though, she's not a psychic?

But I just, I'm going to bet the odds. I'm a big betting guy. Draft Kings has their odds of not being real, like minus 12,000. Now, does she talk to living animals or can she talk to dead ones too? Both. Oh, wow. Very versatile. She looks in the obituaries, finds dead dogs, calls the people and be like, hey, I can talk to your dog.

Not only that, she could probably talk to dogs that haven't been born yet. Oh, man. Well, that's special. Yeah. That's what I do. What? Talk to dogs that haven't even been born yet? What?

You can lie by everything else. I talked to cows, too, matter of fact. I talked to cow last night. What did they say? Move. Right. You know, I talked to two different pet psychics. One for my dog and one for my cat.

You gave him money? I gave him money. She bought me a psychic reading from a pet psychic once. Yeah, did you ever do it? Yeah. And the person was like, your dog likes to drool. Your dog likes to bark. Your dog likes food.

Your dog's tired. Yeah. wants to take a nap. That's crazy. Hey, look. Yeah, I did do it. You did? Yeah. Because I remember thinking the whole time this is very generic stuff. However,

people will pay good money for this. You can't prove she's not so good for her, I guess. As long as she's not like milking old people. Oh, she's finding the old people. Like, yeah, she's not finding vulnerable people and she's just finding weirdos. I'm okay with going after weirdos, but not

vulnerable. Okay. That's tough. All right. She makes $75,000 a year, basically. So stupid. That's what this said. Yeah. Just for being a pet psychic. All you have to do.

Just to make it up. I know. I can talk. Any pet? You guys have no idea. I'm a cat psychic. Really? I just found out last night with my passion.

If anybody needs to talk to their cat, let me know. And prove I'm not. Okay, thank you. A recent study reveals that a lot of men let their wives win in competitions. What? And they're doing it for a specific reason. Oh, to make her happy? It's fine.

Well, they said it. That's funny. For wives and girlfriends, the guys do it to avoid conflict and prevent them from leaving or being poached by another male. If my wife caught me letting her win things, she might leave me and go poach another male. We have a pretty competitive household. And my wife's a better athlete than I am. And so that's annoying to me. However, I don't have to let her win because she just wins stuff.

It sucks. But like since you all are both competitive, do you all have moments where? Yes, but she's the bigger person. And she's like, I'm not doing this. It's running our day. Yes. Okay. Yes.

We don't get into big fights. I will fight. I'll drag it off for a month. But she's like, what are we doing? Well, so can I ask you this? Do you think Caitlin never lets you win to avoid? This is like the reverse of this? Probably.

Good question. To avoid conflict? Probably, but she competes hard. I think the only time she would ever do that is if she knows if we've been at it for a long time, there's been no winner, I think she would probably be like, I'm just going to let him win. She would never do it to begin with. But we used to play this game during the pandemic when she acted like she liked PlayStation. We used to play with a game.

cars would hit the ball. Well, there was nothing to do. Rocket League. Yeah, we played Rocket League. And we play like every, there's nothing to do. So we'd work from the house and we'd just mess around and play Rocket League. And then I got, I started to get really good and I started to beat her. She's like, oh, you're just too good. Now I don't want to play anymore. What I think is she was just letting me win since we have to play anymore. For sure.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Tyrese Maxi plays in the NBA for the Philadelphia 76ers and last Thanksgiving. He wanted to give back. So through his charitable organizations, he gave out 300 turkeys to families in need. He's like, man, we can do better than that.

We can make it bigger. We can make it better. This year, he held a little event with music, party, prizes, food, and handed out 1,000 turkeys to different families. He did a lot better. And he's like becoming a star now, too. He's a Kentucky guy, right? He played for Kentucky? Yeah.

A lot of times, too, when they become the big stars, they don't do as much because, like, he's that guy. I mean, him and him be, that's awesome. Good for him. Yeah, they had food, music, and prizes. I mean, I wonder what the prizes were. Oh, sign basketballs, yeah. Jerseys. Yeah, that would be cooler than shoes.

Shoes. Oh, man. Like, if you're giving away a thousand jerkeys, what else could the prize me? You get a car. You get a house. You get it. I don't know, we shouldn't do that, but, yeah. No, probably it would have been on the story.

Good for him. Tyreys Maxie, great job. Way to give back. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. I'm in Louisville tonight. My final comedically inspirational show of the whole tour tonight in Louisville. Eddie will be coming too.

We'll be doing some raging idiots, some comedy. It'll be awesome. Get tickets to Bobbybones.com. So Louisville can't wait to see you. Right now, let's go over and get in the morning corny. The morning corny. What did the turkey say to the turkey hunter? What?

Quack, quack. Funny. That was good. Oh, respect. That was the morning corny. But most turkey hunters I know are also duck hunters. Yeah. So you'll see you.

You better hope it's not duck season. Yeah. You know? So there's a guy who won $416,000 in the lottery without even realizing he had entered. That's cool. How do you not know you entered a lottery? So a guy from Michigan said he ignored an email,

which I would have done the same thing. I get an email saying you won $400,000. Okay. I'm not ever thinking that's real. He was unaware he had entered that drawing. How? Like, how do you click on something and not know you're trying to win money? It was that second chance giveaway, you know, where you did send the ticket in or whatever?

He said, I play games online, but I had no idea I was online also doing second chance entries. Okay, so that game automatically registers you for the second chance. Oh, that's cool. I would have never clicked the email. I'd never followed up. I would have come on the air, been like, Ray, hit that button, Scambler! Also, does the lottery not have a better way to get in touch with these people? I know.

Maybe there's a cell. I don't know. I wouldn't answer the phone. though. I wouldn't believe anything. But show up at their house with a big check. And they'd not be like, just counterfeit. Maybe they're hoping you don't find out. They send one email that looks like scam. They purposefully make it scam. It's like, hey, I reached out.

So congratulations. Because he won $416,322. That's awesome. That's from UPI. It's time to open the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mail. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been seeing this girl for about three months, but something seems off. I was just scolded for putting pictures of me and her up on social media.

She says she doesn't want any of my crazy exes coming after her. I've never mentioned any crazy exes in my past, and now I'm smelling a rat. She is divorced, so I'm wondering if it's justified or is it a red flag. that she doesn't want pictures up with me on social media. Signed, boyfriend with a girlfriend passed? That's definitely a flag. Now, does it have to be red red? No.

Because she could be divorced and just not want it announced yet. It doesn't, and she just picked a bad excuse. Yeah. The excuse meaning like, oh, you're crazy exes, but he's like, I don't have any crazy exes. Yeah. So are you saying that she just doesn't want people to know she's dating, I'm saying that it doesn't have to be a red flag.

It doesn't have to be what he's thinking that she's embarrassed of him or is like with him and other dudes. There's just a lot of things. Don't talk yourself into the worst case scenario. It might be that, but don't talk yourself into that being the only option. She just might be somebody who went through a marriage, obviously, and wants to date, but is not ready to go, hey, world, I'm dating because it feels weird. and she wants to slowly integrate herself back into that world. You can't take that personal unless you have a reason to take it personal. You can take it semi-personal, but you also have to understand.

Now, if she's just lying online, then you just take that rat, smell it, put in the trap, pop it. Trap it. Yeah. But I think what you need to do is have a little patience. Watch her other actions. And if they align with what you're feeling with the red flag, then you can address it. Can't he say to her like, hey, Yeah, I don't, I don't worry.

I don't have any crazy exes. What's the real? Oh, you can do the healthy thing of communication. Sure. There's always that. Yeah, but I'm trying to give him a little peace of mind if he doesn't want to do that. If it's so uncomfortable for him, it doesn't have to be worst case scenario. Maybe.

But I don't think it is. But we don't know them. Yeah, we don't know. I don't think it is, though. Maybe if you're only, if you're together for just a little bit of time, maybe that's what it is. And she just doesn't want to say that. Like, she doesn't want you post her on Facebook because, you don't want you post her on Facebook because, because we've only been three months.

Have y'all had, like, have y'all had the, the, the, you know they're not on the phone, right? Define. You're asking them right now. Did you think that she's listening through the email? Did they DTR it? You know, all I have is the email? Because she might be like, yeah, she's dating other people. Right, and that could be, right, it doesn't have to be worst case scenario, Red Flyer.

Well, what's DTR? Define the relationship. Ah, got it. Pappel. Hey, Morgan, your thoughts. Oh, I immediately went to worst case scenario. You've had a lot of worst case scenarios, though. Well, the reason I say that is because if it was, you would,

was something that was healthy, she would have just responded with, this is why I don't want this to happen. But because she went straight like, oh, your crazy exes and made something up, that's what gives me more of a red flag than just the not posting on social media. Or her last relationship was not healthy at all. And she's been conditioned to feel like she has to jump in with some sort of story to stick up for herself even if she doesn't really have to. That's possible. I just have learned that typically if there's smoke somewhere, there's mostly fire. For sure.

Yeah, your dudes are lighten force on fire. It's Amazon rain forest. So that's why I went worst case in a real. It's like wildfire, man. Sorry, Morgan.

Anyway, take some time. Give her a little space. Don't worry about it, but watch your actions. Take down the photos. And then you can ask. And just bring it up and ask.

Say, hey, when can we put some pictures up of us? That way she doesn't feel like you're confronting her. She doesn't feel like she's being cornered. Or just put it up and tag her and that's it. See what happens. The end.

All right, thank you. Close it up. When we ran outside the clothes, Bobby Felt back. Yeah. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th.

Morgan. A. Correct. Good job. Nice job. Nice job. On the board. Big winner.

On the board. Everybody's got one now. Nice job. Here's my warm-up, fun fact. The average American woman owns eight times more makeup than she'll use. Wow. You know, my saying, waste not one. Yeah.

You've always said that? I say it every day. Sometimes, too, I think we hold on to makeup for way too long. Like, it expires, but I'm like, is this eyeliner really bad? I'll just stick it in my eye. I do with milk something. And then that's when your eye gets infected. Absolutely.

We'll go around the room. I'll go first. The first assassination attempt on a president happened in 1835 when a guy named Richard Lawrence tried to shoot Andrew Jackson. The problem is his gun jammed and then Jackson beat him with his cane. Yeah. Wow. Man, those days are rough. The president beats you up.

With a cane. Yeah, you're trying to kill me. Yeah, crazy. Amy, you're up. Okay, fun fact. Only 10 U.S. states have laws against marriage under 18. That's crazy. Isn't that crazy?

I don't know. That's very fun. I wonder if the laws, though, are with some nuance of like if you're 17, you can be raised a 19-year-old and not just Buck Wild. 12 year olds can marry 50-year-old men. Yeah, here you go. Reportedly there have been cases where kids as young as 10 years old were able to legally wed.

So that's weird. But do you think every state should get on board? It's like, let's just go ahead. It'd be a federal law. Like, yeah, how long does it take to go in and change? A while. I don't think it's that easy. Yeah, if you ever, it's just not, you just walk in and say, oh, we're going to change

this law. You've got to do a lot of. This doesn't seem that hard. I agree. It's probably not. That should be a federal law. Lunchbox. The most famous pea fragrance.

is asparagus aroma. Have you ever had asparagus than your pee smells? Yes. Only 50% of the population has ever smelled that because only 50% of people have the gene that causes you to have stinky pee after you eat asparagus. Wait, not everybody has asparagus pee? That's right. Not everybody.

And also, if you want to get rid of that smell, when you're eating asparagus, cut off the tips, that's where the aroma comes from. Which tip? Just a tip. Probably the tip on the fuzzy. The little part. Yeah, yeah.

That would be the tip. Not the other part. There's Herbie Amy. Eddie, you're up. So geckos, when they shed their skin, they eat it right afterwards. And this is to protect them from... Lunchbox does it as well as toenails. Yeah.

Oh, but do you do that to protect yourself from your predators? Yes. Good question. Do you? Yeah, and it's like, oh, he's so gross. He puts his toenails in his mouth. I'm not going to get near him so they don't mess with me. So I wants to keep predators from you.

Yeah, and just a good snack. A lot of protein. That's so gross. Why do they do it, though, to keep their predators? Because when they shed their skin, they leave it behind and the predator's like, oh, there's a gecko around here. God. Now they eat it.

Everybody seen the gecko the left is behind? Exactly. I felt that. Morgan. The film Armageddon is so scientifically inaccurate that NASA uses it as a test for their management training program. So NASA will show the film to their managers and make them spot the errors. So far, 168 have been found.

The managers are crying, though. They're like, I don't know. I just want them to live. Don't go into the meteor. I would think all of it is like really fake. Probably. I'm going to sandwich mine with another president. Fun fact, there are no direct, undisputed descendants of Abraham Lincoln. None of his great grandchildren had any children. That's it. 1985 was the very last person in the Lincoln lineage. That's right. That's crazy. That's it. Lincoln's up.

Guess what? Remember when Eddie gave the book report on President Van Buren? Yeah, Martin Van Buren. Yeah. So remember that Bachelor party I was at? my friend, she's marrying a guy Van Buren. He's related to the president. And I was like, shut up. So I pulled up Eddie's book report. I pulled up the book report and we all watched it.

And one of the first... At your bachelor's party, you watched Eddie presenting a book report. Technically, I was at the Bachelor of Party. Technically, that was her... That's her future husband. Like, apparently... But technically, you were at a basketball party that watched a YouTube video of someone doing a book report. Technically, I was the entertainment at the Bachelor of Party.

Yeah, technically sounds like a lame bachelor's up. No, she was like, oh wow, he was the eighth president. And you guys got on a whole thing about Martin Van Buren at the bachelor's party? But one of the things Eddie included in his report is that Van Buren married his like cousin. Oh, no. It's like the first thing in the report. And so we all look at Kat and we're like, oh, okay. So, I mean, at the end of the day.

The end of the day, Eddie, was the entertainment at the basketball party. Some bachelor's up parties, hire other kinds of entertainment? You guys watch book reports. You guys are, oh. Fun fact Friday. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying.

Plummer comes out and says, hey, man, it's going to be about $800 to fix it. And he said, that's robbery. And he pulls out a gun and holds him hostage. Was he saying toward him? That's robbery, like I'm robbing you? This is a robbery. That's robbery. He was so upset about the quote that he started yelling at him,

You're not going anywhere and held him hostage for a couple hours. But during the couple hours, was he like fixed this? Did he lower his rate at the same time? Yeah, did it help? Like, yeah, that's a great point. Like, if I'm going to hold you hostage because my toilet's broken, fix the toilet while I'm holding you hostage. No, I didn't say that, but the neighbors heard the commotion,

and that's who called police. And he was in a standoff. It's a waste of time for him. Yeah, like, well, might as well gotten something out of it. Yeah, get your plunger work on it and lower the rate, invoice me for when I get out of prison. All right. I'm lunchbox.

Put it away? So, not buying it. Video went viral. It's fake. Oh, you know for sure? Yeah. I didn't at first. Because they are pretty good actors. Pretty good. But we did a fake video once on TV and it went super. viral. I don't think we've ever told anyone. Well, we'll move on for that. Yeah, you have.

Maybe we have. Been a long time. Like a fake wedding proposal. Man, that was so good. I mean, like... That went viral before viral was viral. Yeah, and like, primetime live would pick it up and show it. I remember ABC called me and they're like, hey, we'd like to use your

YouTube video. And our acting was way worse than this. Pretty good. So don't believe that. But I fell for it for a second. It's like, I don't know. And then I just Googled it because something said it wasn't, it's not true. Dang. Why are they getting us like that?

If there's a camera on you, though, you just say yes, then you address it after. And how come there were other people in the balloon talking the whole? Well, there's people around. The balloons aren't going to go by itself. Oh, okay. Someone's still flying it. So, no one's really going to say no. They're going to go like, yeah, and then talk about it when they're in privacy.

Got it. So there's never been a real, like authentic. I'm sure there have been. But not when someone feels so confident, they're going to make a huge financial decision. pay for a big thing. Camera live. I bet you there. It's very few.
