This is an I-Heart podcast.
Guaranteed human.
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, my basketball and college football journey,
or my career in sports media.
Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, the Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfilled conversations with athletes,
creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated.
So let's get to it.
Listen to The Clifford Show on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok.
When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands.
I vowed. I will be his last target.
He is not going to get away with this.
He's going to get what he deserves.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe, on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, everyone? I'm Ago Vodam.
My next guest, it's Will Ferrell.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
He goes, just give it a shot.
But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Welcome to Friday show. Morning studio.
Morning.
Coming up, Kenny Chesney, coming up.
Miranda Lambert, you got a big show today.
But let's go around the room.
Share with me what you have found this morning.
Eddie, you go first.
Guys, you know me, I love science, and I just saw an article, crazy article, that by the year 2025, we may not be able to see Saturn's rings.
The rings that we know Saturn for.
How many times you guys seen them?
I mean, every time you look at a picture, right?
You can still look at that old picture.
The picture will still have them.
Yeah, but the planet's not going to have rings anymore.
That's crazy.
No, no, you're just not going to be able to see them from Earth.
Well, yeah, but still enough.
But I already couldn't see them from Earth.
Exactly.
That's like telling me, hey, you'll never.
in the whole history of the world,
be able to meet Elon Musk again.
And I'd be like, well, I'd never been to begin with.
So it doesn't really hurt that much.
I see what you're saying.
I see what you're saying.
But still, if you get a telescope and you look through it,
you'd see the rings today.
But in 2025, no longer.
Thanks, man.
Really interesting.
Thank you.
I had no idea.
Because it's so boring until you brought it up.
I mean.
Okay, guys, just because you think science is boring?
I don't think science is boring.
That's on you.
Okay.
Lunchbox, can you beat that?
Oh, I can beat it.
And it's from last weekend at a football game.
Texas Southern University,
this tuba players playing in the band
and this guy starts
Do a better tuba than that though
That's a little
Yeah
Playing some song
And this guy starts heckling him
And as he's playing the tuba
Boom boom boom boom
Knocks him out cold
And keeps on playing
This guy got in his face to like make fun of him
Like heckle him
And the guy's like I'm like taking
Like hard crosses
Is there's video of this?
Yeah
Oh it's awesome
Awesome, dude.
And the guy takes the first shot in stands and he's like, wait, about the third shot, he's out.
He's down.
Yeah, he's down.
He's down on the ground.
It was so freaking funny.
I thought he'd pick on the tuba player.
Didn't happen.
Amy, what do you have?
So there's a dermatologist on TikTok that is saying, hey, guys, if you have a beard, make sure you are cleaning it every time you're in the shower or you're not taking a shower, wash your face and clean your beard.
And right now, Scoop's Steve has a beard.
Ray has a beard.
Lunchbox kind of has a beard.
Eddie sometimes has a beard.
And there's...
Some people say Caitlin's my beard.
Right.
A little different.
Well, all these guys are married.
And the problem is when you're kissing someone, they're getting all that bacteria.
And then sometimes it can even cause a little rash on the chin.
It's called infatigo.
And women are dealing with them.
They're having to get like prescription cream because then the bacteria is infecting the like...
Because the guy won't wash his beard?
Well, if the guy, if the beard is not clean and it has the bacteria in it and then you're kissing,
and it kind of rubs that skin a little bit,
and then it's raw,
and then the bacteria gets in there,
it's causing impotigo.
A lot of ifs, I'm honest with you.
So every time I kiss someone, my wife,
and she gets that red, like, rash on her chin.
That could also be from rubbing.
That's what I always think.
It's not every time.
Or it means, like Amy says, you're impotent.
No, no.
That's not what she said.
When y'all take a shower,
do you wash your beard with soap?
Soap, yeah.
Okay, good.
Like, whatever I wash my face with,
that's what I do.
That's a good tip.
I got a question.
When you take,
a shower. Do you wash your armpit
hair with soap or shampoo?
So. So.
I don't shampoo my arm.
Is that really a question? First of all, I shave most of my armpit hair with a
Let me add to that. Do you put conditioner on your armpit hair?
No.
Did you put on your regular hair?
Yeah, because the regular hair, people see it.
I just, random question.
Yeah, very. Okay.
Thank you.
Both of mine are, you have two, but they're the same category.
It's holy crap, that's big, okay?
Oh.
So when I say it, when I point at you, go, holy crap, that's big, okay?
from Fox News.
A 14-pound 8-ounce baby.
Holy crap, that's big.
Was born last month in Canada.
Dude, I didn't even hear the story.
Say it again, because I was too focused on that.
A 14-pound baby.
A 14-pound 8-ounce baby was born last month.
Wow.
Holy crap, that's...
I didn't point, though.
No, I didn't point.
Oh, I was like you pointed.
Yeah.
That's the heaviest baby born since, like, 2012.
And the heaviest of the hospital, it's like 2010.
But imagine that.
14 pounds.
Eight ounces.
Holy crap, that's big.
Poor mom.
Yeah, I mean, she had to give birth to that.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
He was 55 centimeters long.
And I also think about...
Holy crap, that's big.
I don't know what that means, really.
Me either.
That's why I didn't point on that one.
But I also think about how that much that baby's going to take to breastfeed.
That's going to be a lot.
He was, again, 14-8.
His other brothers have all been born at over 13 pounds.
Holy crap, that's big.
My baby was 10.
Oh, yeah.
They are our second one.
That doesn't really sound big right now.
It is big, but yours isn't as big as mine.
No, okay.
That's what she said.
Yeah, thank you.
Well, no, that was the whole point.
Amy.
You didn't have to really do that.
A nine-foot alligator.
Holy crap, that's big.
Yeah, a bitter woman's face in Florida.
What?
Is she going to be okay?
Holy crap, that's messed up.
You guys didn't even do the holy crap that's big except for Eddie.
I pointed.
A nine-foot gator.
Holy crap, that's big.
Yeah.
She was snorkeling with a friend in a recreation area.
No.
A nine-foot gator.
It's a monster.
Not only is it a monster.
Holy crap, that's big.
This nine-foot gator attacked her bitter forehead.
What?
This is from Fox 35 Orlando.
A photographer nearby happened to snap photos of the immediate aftermath.
The alligator is still lurking behind them.
She is not dead.
She said, I ripped the mask off.
I turned to see two little eyes sticking out of the water.
She said a nine-foot gator came out of nowhere.
Her friend Shane said he heard a rush of water, saw the gator, and he turned around, but he couldn't even react because it happened so fast.
She said, didn't hurt that bad in the moment.
and then when she got back
and she saw the punctures on her head
and she didn't die.
But if a nine-foot gator gets you,
most of the time, you're probably going to die.
Yeah.
But that's a big gator.
Holy crap, that's big.
There you go.
Wow.
Yeah, Eddie, your story is by far the worst of this.
You guys just don't like science.
It's okay.
I do like science.
Doesn't sound like it.
Because I gave you a good science story there.
I wouldn't say it's good.
I wouldn't say it's good at all.
Let's open up the mail bag.
You send an email and we read it.
on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend and I
have been together for three years. We're planning to get married. However, my parents don't approve
the relationship due to cultural differences. They want me to end things and find someone
more suitable. My boyfriend is kind, loving, and we're great together. I don't want to lose
them, but I don't want to be estranged from my family either. I'm torn. I don't know how to
navigate this situation, how can I stand up for my boyfriend without ruining my relationship
with my family? Signed, daughter, and distress. Okay. Here's the easy answer here. If you end up
ending a relationship because of something that your parents believe in, not you, you want this
relationship with your parents, but you're going to resent them. If not now, you're going to
risen them big time later. And later, it's going to be even worse than it would be now.
This is one of those situations when you are a young adult where you have to figure out who you are.
And sometimes it's uncomfortable to be who you are because what's comfortable is the same.
And the same is not always the right answer. I don't know what the cultures are. I don't know what the
differences are. No idea what that is. All I'm saying is just because your parents want it.
first I would ask them why
and if it is just a culture thing
then okay
that's not for me it's not for you
you're gonna be so upset at them years later
if it's like they know he's a bank robber or something
different that's different but I would just let them state
their peace
if they're old old people
have older thoughts
that are wrong
but they'll die soon
I mean
wow wow
and then we can move
Move on, everybody be happy.
No chance you should break up with anybody, friendship, relationship,
because a cultural difference is if you don't want to break it up
because somebody else wants you to do it.
You just shouldn't.
If it's on your heart and that's on you, but don't do it because somebody else wants you to do it.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
No, that's sacrificing your own happiness to please others.
You will resent your parents so much.
But that's good because I'm wondering what the answer would be to that question.
Yeah, because I.
Why?
Why not?
And let's see how honest they're about to be.
Yeah.
No, be for real.
So I say, be for real.
And then when they're not for real and they don't have a good answer, okay.
I choose not to take your advice.
But if it's something like, yeah, he killed three people.
We know that.
And we just want you to not be with them.
That you should listen to.
But then you follow up and prove it.
But if it's culture, yeah.
I feel like even there's like culture.
I'm thinking back to, like in college, one of my boyfriends was Catholic.
And I don't know so much.
I mean, my dad definitely didn't care about that.
Listen, wait for it.
I know.
Wait for it.
I know.
It's weird to think about now, but it's just the type of, you know, church that I was in.
I've said nothing.
I'm just looking at Amy.
I know.
All I was going to say was within the Christian community, it's not really that culture.
No, no, no.
But it is, though.
I know, but it's fundamentalist, like, type where I was.
And so my mom so much didn't care.
I know my dad didn't, but I know there was whispers at church.
Amy's standing in a Catholic.
You know, like it was a thing where I thought.
And so then I started to think.
you know, and then I went to Mass with him and I felt like,
am I not supposed to read here?
Which, FYI, if you go to Mass and you're not technically Catholic,
don't go do communion.
Yeah, you're not allowed to do that.
What about if it would have been like a Jehovah's Witness or LDS?
Oh, that would have been probably been worse.
Like, I get it.
But I mean, I'm just saying, yeah, you look in the Christian faith and it's like,
the culture things can be broken down and broken down and broken down.
And there's all these little tiny compartments.
Or for that matter, some people...
East Baptist, not Southern Pathers.
Right, right.
So you broke up with him because they didn't like him?
No, I didn't.
No, he broke up with me.
With the Bubba straight?
No.
Oh, that'd be cool.
But another example of this might be, you know,
you bring somebody home and they're not part of the political party that your family is in.
It's like, oh, they, you know.
Don't do anything for your family.
Right.
If it's just for your family.
You have to do it for yourself.
Yes, thank you.
You only get this one life.
That's right.
You only get one shot.
One opportunity.
Yes, mom's spaghetti.
My sweater already.
All right.
Close the mail bag.
We got your email and we let it on the air.
Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailpack.
It's almost time for Fun Fact Friday, and I got music fun facts.
I'm going to give you one pre.
We're pre-gaming, as your kids would say.
I like that.
The village people, what's their most famous song, Amy?
YMCA.
Correct.
So they go on American bandstand.
They don't have the hand movements as part of their act.
The crowd starts to do YMCA as they're singing it.
So they're like, oh, they're not.
That's cool. Let's put it in song.
So didn't they, yeah, the crowds.
The village people never plan to do the arms.
How did people just think of that?
Like that quickly.
I don't know. Just say why and see it.
Wow.
Oh yeah, it's natural.
I do my answer.
I didn't even mean to.
Yeah.
How about that one?
That's cute.
That's pretty fun, right?
That's what this next segment's all about.
Let's go.
Amy, your first.
You're about one centimeter taller in the morning when you first get up than when you go to bed.
Gravity?
Yeah, well, it's because during the day, the soft cartilage between your bones get squashed and compressed, I assume from, yeah, gravity.
Dang.
So you should measure yourself.
Next time I go get a driver's license, I should stay in bed the whole time and lay down until it's time to get everything to be like, there's six, too.
Go early in the day, yeah.
Lunchbox.
Pforia is the sense of release as bladder pressure lessens as a result of the stimulation of nerve endings in the urinary system as you go pee.
Yeah, you needed to say nothing else except P4E.
I knew it exactly.
I like Pifior.
Me too.
Pforia is amazing.
That's P for you.
Oh, God.
I mean, that's automatic, right?
Going, oh.
Oh.
Especially like when you've got to run to the bathroom.
Like when you're holding it, holding it, holding it,
and you're on a road trip, you pull over and you run.
Anything on there on poo for you?
I'll find that for next week.
There's no really, oh, when that happens.
Yeah.
If you have IVBS, there is.
All right.
Eddie?
So 3% of the Antarctica glaciers are made of penguin pee.
Wow.
Yeah, because I guess freeze over.
Those high temperatures make urine freeze and then it turns into mold and then that's part of the glacier.
Matt, you know what?
That made the best one you've ever brought.
Thank you, dude.
No, he, because it's about pee, dude.
Oh, I got it.
And you should have sent that my way.
Morgan?
You know those lufas people have in their bathroom?
By people you mean me, yes.
Yeah, if you have one, lufas are actually vegetables.
They're distant relatives of melons and squash.
So before they reach maturity and become the lufa you use, they are also edible.
They're the sponge lufas.
I thought that was a thing that the bed, bath and beyond.
made up. No, no, like, because my thing doesn't feel
like a vegetable. You can eat your lufa. It's got a rope
in it. Is the rope vegetable? Hey, don't eat, don't eat the lufth. I would bet the kind
you have is not the vegetable.
It's before they reach, when they reach
maturity, they become the lufa that we know that
people use on their bodies. But before that, they're edible. There's multiple
stages of the vegetable. But mine's not edible. Yours is not.
The hot people that you have is not
ed. I was wondering, is that dragon fruit? I'm always
confused by the dragon fruit. Okay, so I have
two of these. We'll start with
Brown-Eye Girl by Van Morrison.
Yes.
You know the song?
Yeah.
A brown-eyed girl.
Was it originally the title?
Do you know the original title?
You're my?
Oh, Chevy.
Okay, do you remember when?
Are you thinking Chevy to Levy?
Yeah, because it was...
Wrong song.
Was it called Shalala?
Lala?
It was called Brown Skin Girl.
Yeah, let's not do that.
But he claimed he changed it absent-mindedly.
He just sang it wrong.
And he was like, oh, I didn't realize I sang it.
Brown-eyed said a brown-skinned girl.
That was it
He was not a conscious decision to change it
He had written it and was singing it
Wonder that would have been a hit
Who knows
You'll never know
You'll never know
And the backstreet boys
Never had a number one hit
The closest they came was number two
When quit playing with my heart
Yeah, quit playing games in my heart
That's number two in 1997
Really?
Yeah
Had a lot of top fives, a lot of top tens
In sync did have a number one song
With It's gonna be me
I mean, they have so many jams and none of them were number one.
That's crazy.
And finally, a Swiss Army knife is called a McGiver knife in South Korea.
Oh, that's cool.
Because it does a lot of stuff like MacGyver.
There you go.
I had fun.
Did you guys have fun?
A lot of fun.
Fun fact Friday.
Good.
Fun fact Friday.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
Guys, I got a story.
This is going to be lunchbox in 60 years.
Okay.
60?
60 years.
That means he's going to be over 90.
So, okay.
I hope he makes it there.
Yeah.
So Helen Holland is 101 years old.
She's a mother of four and a grandmother of 17.
A great grandmother of 54.
Crazy.
No way she remembers all those names, but go ahead.
Yeah.
Okay, so in 1939, she was at BYU,
and she had to leave in 1941 due to financial concerns.
So she never graduated college.
Well, after watching her granddaughter recently graduate with her master's degree,
she's like, you know what?
I kind of want to go back and get my college degree.
So, BYU.
Let's just let them clap out of classes at 91.
Yeah.
They're working to accommodate her by organizing suitable classes since the ones on her original transcript are no longer available.
Soing, penicillin, churning butter.
All those are gone.
Yes.
But.
Yeah, she loves the football game.
She knows all the songs and cheers.
And she's the biggest BYU fan.
And she's going to graduate.
She's 1001 years old.
I like that story.
I know.
I also like that she can just think.
I mean, genetically, she's very lucky.
She's probably taking care of herself to be that old, over 90 years old, 100 years old,
and still like, I want to go to college.
Or I know my great-granddaughter's name.
Even that's a big deal.
I wonder if she's going to have like 5 a.m. classes,
because, you know, older people wake up early.
Right, right.
A little bit early.
But I think at 1001, do you wake up early?
I think you're just happy to wake up.
If you open your eyes at 100 and be like, woo.
I think I reserve her a parking spot, you know what I mean?
She probably won't have to go in a whole lot
Probably on drive if she does
I thought she may go on campus
That'd be awesome
Probably maybe a little bit
We went to BYU you
It's gonna be our next episode
Of Too Much Access
It's awesome
It's beautiful
This football stadiums in the middle of mountains
When we went and put on all the pads
And BYU is
It's a basically a religious school
And I really wasn't thinking about it
When I got the number 69 to wear
To be hilarious
What? You did that?
I did, yeah
We're on number 69.
They put us in all their pads and helmets and we run through drills.
And they asked you, what number do you want?
I was like, I'll take 69.
I thought it was hilarious.
Okay.
What they said?
They said, okay.
I was surprised they have that number available.
I know, me too.
Guys, it's just a number.
I know, but is it?
Is it just a number?
Great story.
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 what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me.

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 2, 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 my...
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,

I'm AGOVAZU.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman,
Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Ferrell.
Woo!
Woo!
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like,
and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come,
look for up-and-coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you,
which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, this is Amy and Kenny Chesney.
What do you think Kenny Chesney is his biggest song?
Most Dream Song ever is.
Don't blink.
Now, where it gets confusing is that would be one of his longest big songs,
but sometimes newer songs were bigger.
Oh, half of my hometown?
No, no.
No shoes.
American kids, no.
Number two is Get Along.
Get Along.
He's got a new song called Take Her Home, which is out today.

Sounds awesome though
A gold certified single?
I don't know.
It's impressive.
Whatever it is.
I agree.
Don't know what it is, but it's worth something.
He has an advertising degree.
Do you know that?
No.
Now I'm reading the notes they sent me.
He's known for his laid back beach-inspired style.
I knew that.
He's a huge football fan of played the sport in high school.
Yes.

Friday morning conversation with Kenny Chesney.
We got a new song, Take Her Home.
I like the message behind it for sure.
It makes me think of that saying,
have you heard it's the start that stops most?
The start that what?
The start that stops most.
Huh.
So like it's the start that stops people
because they don't want to go for it.
That's right.
And I feel like that's the message of Take Her Home.
Well, I can tell you when I first heard it,
it just reminded me of these
these life moments that in ways connect us all,
but we have to take the step, like you just said.
Life brings us these moments,
and we have to, in a way, like the character in this song,
man up to it and move forward with it.
And I don't know, I really felt like
that I've been looking for a song like this for a while.
It was not necessarily, you know,
Here's the thing.
I look for songs that obviously that I can relate to and that is my life.
But I also feel like that, you know, throughout my career, I've been able to find some songs that I knew that other people could relate to also and maybe even more so.
And so I felt like that this song, Take Her Home, had the thread of that in there.
And I've been looking for that for a minute.
Yeah, I feel like you can kind of take it for what it is, especially in the first first.
You'd be like, okay, you know, guy sees a girl at the bar, get some.
sends a drink over the shots or whatever, and then, you know, it goes from there, but it's so much
deeper than that. Well, the way they turn the song, it's just, it's pretty incredible. And I was
looking for a song like this, but I didn't know where it was going to come from. And Hardy sent me
this song, we were, I thought we were done. And he goes, I don't know if you're done with your
record, but we wrote this two days ago. And I thought of you, it reminded me a little bit of
there goes my life. And I went, well, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
But I heard it, and I went, wow, I mean, like, there's not too many people sitting in a room
writing these life songs anymore.
And when I heard it, I just absolutely, you know, was thrilled that I get to sing this kind
of song.
Is there something when you hear a song like that that you look back on and you're like,
oh, man, you know, you regret not taking that chance or doing that thing?
Well, that's what you hope that a song like this does, you know, that it's a, it's a, it
connects with people in a way that it makes them fall in love or take a chance or, you know,
go the extra step, you know, it's one thing, like you said, to buy a girl a shot a patron
and introduce yourself. But then the next step said that where that goes, it's, you know, I think that.
I'm even thinking like, gosh, like on a, I think of so many things, even professionally speaking,
or like a song that you passed on. Yeah, like, or something that you missed out on where you're like,
oh, man, I should have, I didn't shoot much.
shot then. You know what? I will say professionally, you know, I don't have a lot of regrets.
Now, of course, you hear songs on the radio and I went, wow, that sounds much different with them
singing it, you know, and I'm a true believer that songs end up where they're supposed to end up.
But there's been a few times where I went, wow, I've missed that one. You know, that sounds really
great. And but it sounds great for them. I don't know if it was sounded great for me. So there's a few
of those moments. Yeah, and there's moments that you think back, especially now in my life where
you know, I could have done things a little differently. But, I mean, for the most part, I'm pretty
happy with where I'm at, you know? I mean, yeah, I would say, but I mean, not bad, not bad. As a human,
I mean, as whatever, you know, so, but I think this, this, this song has a lot of those life
moment lessons in them, you know, that, that, the thing I love about it is that it, that it's just
it's got a lot of commonality in it, no matter who you are or where you are in your life,
you know? Yeah, well, I mean, I think it's one of those songs that, yeah, could be something
that someone hears for the first time and, or they hear it a few times and they really take,
take it to heart like, oh, maybe I need to go for this and it could completely change the trajectory
of their life based on a song that you recorded. Well, I'll tell you, that's the thing that I love
about creating. Yeah. Because you go into a room where you go,
going to the studio with a song and you create something that wasn't there yesterday.
You know?
And now you have it.
It's like you know the, it's like you know a secret that nobody knows in the world.
You have it in your hip pocket.
You created this song.
And like this song, we're getting ready to give it to the world, right?
But that's the thing I love the most about creating is that you never know how a song or a record, how a lyric or whatever.
is going to touch someone. And everybody, everybody takes it a different way. And you never know
how it's going to touch that person. And that's what I love about writing songs and making music.
And you get on stage and you look out into your audience and you see the effect it's had on them
and how much they've not only, you know, listened to the music, but lived with it. And that's the
thing. That's what's so great about creating and writing songs.
What song do you hear from fans the most? Or is there a lot?
particular one that stands out of like this yeah over and over it's changed over the years it's
changed over the years but i mean several a long time ago it was a song i did uh about a a called
that's why i'm here and that was a long time ago i still i still get these uh a coins at um that
shows gosh that's special you know and i of course there goes my life when when there goes my
life first came out and it was before we could communicate
so well with our phones. You know, we didn't have the communication that we, you know, that we
have today. But it shows I would see people hold up their phones back before people held up
their phones. I'm going, what are they doing? But they were letting their dad hear. The girls that
were in the show, they were letting their dad hear me sing that song because it was their song.
And then, you know, and then, you know, the people that live on boats want to hear no shoes.
Yeah. Yeah, you have a wide.
variety of fans of all different lots of life. Well, you know what? I look out into my audience and I see a very
eclectic bunch of people. Kids of all ages now, you know, and it just, it's, you know, that's what
you hope, you know, when you come to this town as a dreamer and you got a song or two in your head and
you hope that you can touch that group of people. And it's been really special to see. And I think
songs like, you know, take her home is going to add to that canvas some. You know, I'm proud of it.
Oh, yeah. I mean, I think I think you should be. It's definitely going to be those one of those ones where I
swear people are going to be like, the song, this is what motivated me to talk to her or go ask for
something at work or to take that next step to do whatever or take the leap to write something.
Yeah. Try something creative themselves. I mean, it gets good. Yeah, or ask somebody out or ask somebody to marry them or to quit a job and do something else that might feed them more as a person.
Or to not be with someone. Yeah. No, it's true. I mean, give them, give them the courage to get out. Right. I mean, but sometimes it takes that. You maybe, you know, need that nudge to like, oh, wait a second. I'm not, I'm, I'm not. I'm not.
living my best life. Yeah. I, you know, I that's that, like, I keep going back to that,
but that's the thing about music. You know, it's in the messages of these songs and why we love
songs and why we gravitate towards a certain thing. What's a song not, you're not involved in it
at all that has impacted you in a way? I mean, you could, any, any time in your life. Oh, wow.
that's hard because I have
I've got so many
it's like asking me my favorite song
you know it's impossible
Was there a song that maybe
changed the trajectory of your life
that maybe impacted you wanting to get into
I mean there was a lot of that
you know when I was growing up
there was a lot of those songs that Dean Dillon
wrote that George Strait recorded
that I that made me want to chase
this dream in the first place
and how old were you when you knew
Well, I was a senior in high school when I kind of knew.
Then I got into college and I was decided that I was going to play in a corner at a bar,
this bar in Johnson City, Tennessee for tips.
And that's when I knew.
I didn't know how.
I didn't know where this was going to take me.
But that's when I knew that I loved, you know, when people that were at the bar and they turned around and listened to me,
I went, wow, this is this.
is really great. And I was singing my hero songs. I was singing George Strait songs. I was
singing Hank Jr. songs. I was singing Randy Travis songs. I was singing the Eagles. I was singing
Tom Petty. I was singing everybody. I mean, everybody. So music overall impacted me. And I was always
gravitated towards the men and women that made up their songs and then sang them live.
I was always gravitated towards the singer-songwriters.
And I didn't know the genius of Bruce Springsteen until I started doing this.
You know, because living in East Tennessee, you don't hear, we didn't hear born to run much.
We heard Alabama and Kenny Rogers, right?
Yeah.
So we didn't hear born and run in East Tennessee.
And so, but when I started, you know, writing songs and I went out and performed, that's when I realized the genius of him.
And what's crazy is, is that, you know, you gravitate towards these people and then you get to a place in your life.
And the people who song, and the people whose songs really impacted you and changed the trajectory of my life is you get to a place where you become friends with these people and you know them.
Yeah. Do you remember the first time you met George Strait?
The first time I ever met George Strait was at the BMI Awards years ago. But it was in passing, right?
It was like, you know, I cared much more about meeting him than he did about meeting me.
Yeah.
So, but then.
That was my experience as well.
But, but fast forward a couple years, I guess it was.
And then all of a sudden I was out on the road with him.
And then I got to hang out with George and got to, you know, get to know him.
And it was crazy, you know.
I mean, yeah, especially since you were, he was one of the reasons why you got into.
Yeah, yeah.
So to be in the car with your mother and, you know, driving around East Tennessee and listening to George Strait.
And then all of a sudden, I'm on, my bus is parked next to his.
I don't want his stadium tours.
And I was the first guy on stage, you know, during the day, right?
But my bus was there, you know, it was great.
And I was, was, when that happens to you, it's, it's, it's.
It's such a surreal thing.
You know, I, you know, when I met Joe Walsh, I was just stunned.
And when I actually not just met Bruce Springsteen, but I was,
but I had a conversation with him about songwriting and about creating and the live element of it.
And becoming friends over the years, it's just something that you don't see coming.
Well, yeah, you feel that way about all those names, but there's so many artists that have felt that way about you.
and the impact you've made on their career.
And I do, I feel like, I feel like Take Her Home is going to, you know,
steer some people in certain directions and, you know,
it's going to come up in question one day with them like, oh, why are you here?
How did you do this?
What is this decision?
And they're going to say, oh, is this Kenny Chesney song I heard?
Take her home.
Isn't that cool to think about?
It's very cool to think about.
Yeah.
But, you know, you don't think about those things in the moment.
You know, I mean, we spend a lot of time recording these songs and,
wishing them up the charts and and working really hard on the road. And, you know, I've been
guilty of this of sometimes forgetting that, you know what, people are actually listening.
Yeah. Yeah, they're paying attention. Yeah, they're listening. Yeah, they're living
their life with this music. And, you know, we are in the middle of it and, you know, doing what
we do. But people are actually listening. And that's what makes it great. Yeah. Well, and we're
thankful for the creatives that give it to us because music can be so healing. I'll close with
that I have no idea the scientific evidence behind this, but I did read today that if you're in
any sort of pain listening to your favorite song, they did this whole study and they were
like inflicting pain on people, I guess. And when they would play their favorite song,
the pain didn't feel as bad. Wow. Yeah. So and they said, some music in general helped
with the pain, but when it was their favorite, the pain wasn't as bad. Because it's usually sometimes,
associated with a positive memory.
Yeah.
So that's the power of music.
That's why we all love music.
Yeah. And so thank you for giving us all that you do.
Thank you very much.
Here's Manick Mays from Clarksville, Tennessee.
I am nine.
I was wondering if I should get my ears tears now or when I'm 10.
Should I get one ear or both ear?
Also lunchbox is the best?
We think that's a boy?
Is it?
Because it's a one ear or two.
Right.
That's why I say one ear or two.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And the name's Manick Mays.
Wait till you 10, kid.
Yeah.
Ends the year when all the adult decisions kick in.
Ten?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
That's easy to wait until 10, kid.
All right, here's another one.
Hey, I've got a joke for Amy.
What do you call a spider with 10 eyes?
Spai, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y, y,
either.
It's good.
Can I do this?
one.
That's pretty funny.
It's kind of already done.
No, no, but I mean, not at the morning corny time.
No, but we do respect that one.
That's a good one.
Here's Heather from Cincinnati.
I am coming to the Louisville Show.
I heard you say that the Louisville Show still had tickets available and that you thought
it was on the 15th.
So I just wanted to make sure you knew it's on Friday the 17th, just so we both show up
on the same day because I have a little bit of a drive to get there.
I'm super excited about the show.
My daughter bought me tickets as a surprise
because she knows how much I love the show.
And to yet the show.
Thanks.
On the 17th.
On the 17th.
Well, the 15th, I'm in Austin.
Maybe there was a mix-up, either from me or from her ears.
Maybe from me, probably from me.
Interesting.
I've never heard a fan remind the artist that the date of the show.
Well, the 15th, I have a charity show in Austin.
The 17th is my final comedically inspiration show in Louisville.
That's that.
Got it.
Tickets to both,
Bobby Bones.com.
They just released extra tickets
to both of them
if you guys want to come.
Thank you for that, though, Heather.
I'll put that on my calendar.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So, Cinemark Theaters
has partnered with DoorDash,
Grubhubhub, Uber Eats,
and what they're doing is they'll deliver.
Can you imagine watching a movie
and the delivery it comes in?
Mark!
Is there a mark in here?
Oppenheimer, like a bomb's about to get.
Sean!
No, it's the opposite of that.
It's that you can have, like,
movie theater popcorn delivered
to your house. Oh, that's lame. Like, they'll
go pick it up. I mean, it's a fun
little promotion thing. That's lame. Just
popcorn? Well, you can get whatever you want, but I
can't imagine buying $10.
And you can get Sour Patch kids from the store.
I kind of like my idea better now.
I don't know. Is that Jessica
here? You got your nachos?
And the movie stops? Yeah.
Okay. You might be hearing songs
when you're shopping right now, like jingle bells
or jingle bell rock or any kind of
Christmas stuff. And stores are doing
that right now on purpose because
they want you to feel
positive and nostalgic and get in the spirit and ultimately
spend more money.
Yeah. I felt that.
That's literally what's happening.
Spending.
Yeah.
Go in debt.
Pay attention when you're shopping.
If you're getting a little too happy
and a little too spendy, you might need to
just take a break.
I didn't tell myself that sometimes.
My dad used to get his wallet out and be like,
it's beginning to look.
Oh, no.
He would sing it sadly.
Yeah, his wallet was empty.
That's hilarious.
That is funny.
Your dad is funny.
Which, speaking of shopping and stores, I saw a list of places there to be closed on Thanksgiving that used to be open.
Like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Macy's.
It's all the backlash from people going, let people have off.
And I used to be the person that worked on those days.
And I would be like, no, no, no, no, we'd get double and a half.
Now, some people do have to work, but it was the greatest time to work.
It'd be annoying.
But you would get double and a half.
Time and a half.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you're talking about.
Double and a half or time and a half?
Double and a half.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's extra.
What is that?
That's extra extra.
No, that's time, time and half.
Wow.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's a holiday, bro.
That's good money.
Like time and a half maybe for like, if you're working.
Overtime.
Over time.
Okay.
Double and a half on.
It was awesome.
I got double and a half at the radio station on Christmas Day.
Wow.
And I was like, this was amazing.
So anyway, I hear you.
I'm glad.
But I wish there could be a volunteer list of like people who wanted to work on the holidays.
I can be happy.
I feel like five people and you got a whole target.
Hey, let's rock, baby.
All right.
I have a list of outdated tech that we're still using or outdated things that we still like and we're okay with it.
Postal service.
Well, yeah, that's on there.
Watches, a not pad and pin, a calculator with buttons.
I would say watches that do not count.
I would watch on watches are jewelry for guys, for the most part.
You don't look at it to get the time?
Occasionally, but I'm a phone.
But if you wear a watch for the most part, it's a jewelry piece more than it is.
Yeah.
time because everybody has phone on their on their phone.
A time on their phone.
Or sometimes you have time and time and a half on your phone.
Double.
And some people do wear a watch old school to see time.
But I wear a watch.
A lot of people that I know that are under 55 that wear a watch, do it because it's the one way for a guy to wear something.
And I'm a watch guy now.
The final things that made that list, paper maps and a radio.
Paper maps.
Who uses paper?
Oh, my father-in-law does.
Really?
Yeah.
All the time.
Every time we're going to like, you know how to get to the airport?
He busts out the map.
Like, I got it.
Even old school radio is where you have to like tune.
That's, who has those?
Yeah.
I mean, everything's digital now.
I have one, but it's an antique.
Like, it looks cool.
Yeah, I have one too.
Oh, an antique one.
I found it at like a thrift store and I got it just because.
And it works, Amy?
Radio.
I don't know yet.
It's so cute, though.
I mean, that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
As everybody knows, seasons come, seasons go.

Well, Macy's has everything from royal blue coats to green handbags and highly colorful favorites.

Stay home, it's something good.
Last week, Officer Dow, Turin time pulled someone over in Rome, Georgia, walks up the cars.
Do you know why I pulled you over?
And all of a sudden he hears, boom!
And he looks up and there's a crash at the intersection right up the road.
And he takes off running, who, who, who, who, and there's an SUV with a mom and a kid in it.
Smoke coming from it.
He's like, uh-oh, pulls out his baton.
Boom! Boom!
Breaks the back glass,
climbs in, pulls out his knife,
cuts the airbag,
pulls the kid out of the car,
and that's when good Samaritans come
and pull the mom out of the car,
then it goes up in flames.
Wow, right on time.
Right on time.
Maybe not right on time, but that's,
geez,
place officers have to run toward danger.
It's amazing.
We have firefighters,
military, they run towards,
as I'm, I see danger,
I go the opposite.
way. Yeah. They run toward it to save people. And then also I think about the car that he pulled
over. Do they just drive off? Right. I was thinking about that too. Like they're like,
because he pulled someone over and he said. As long as you whistle and look around like,
slowly drive off. Yeah.
Like, do you know why I pulled you over? Or you go like this. Should I stay?
Like real quiet. Officer, I should probably stay right. If you want me to stay here and get this
ticket, please acknowledge it. No. Okay. I'll be going. Yeah. Good, good deal that those
people live. That's great. Thank you. That's a great story. 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 what you're saying.

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.
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.

I'm Ego Wadam.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live,
and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Ferrell.
Woo, woo, woo, woo.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like,
and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat, just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot in luck.
Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.
Hey, coming up in a few minutes, Miranda Lambert here on the show, it's her birthday.
We'll talk to her to be fine.
By now, let's go to the morning corny.
The morning corny.
Why did the farmer have to separate the chicken and the turkey?
Why?
He sensed foul play.
Of course.
That was the morning corny.
Speaking of animals, you saw a deer in the road, which, okay, it sucks to see a deer get run over.
But Amy saw a deer, its head was chopped off.
Yes.
Have you all seen it?
It is.
Wait, see that one?
Why do we see it?
Yeah, because we all pass it on the highway.
I know that y'all drive past it on the way here.
I didn't see a headless deer.
Well, it's still there.
I saw it again.
And so it got hit by something, obviously.
And then it was taken to the side of the road, like hit by a car.
and went to the little
median area, I don't know, died there
and its head is
severed completely, perfectly off.
So it must have been like
a buck.
Yeah, my cousins used to do that.
Somebody's claiming to kill that.
I think that someone severed the head
and is going to mount it or something.
Your cousins actually did that?
Cousins, uncles, yeah.
Whenever they found like roadkill,
they would chop the head off and stuff it.
This is terrible.
But would they claim it?
No, they would just put it up their house.
Why?
I mean, maybe I was never there to say it.
Like, yeah.
Wow.
Yeah.
So sad.
I mean,
What's sad?
It's already dead.
Maybe the Halloween decoration.
I would just think it was weird
if I saw a deer get hit
and then somebody ran out of the car
and start saw it on the head.
Yeah.
Like that to me would be weird
to actually see that happening.
All of it's just disturbing to me.
I know that deer's get hit,
deer get hit on the highway
and any road,
but it just is sad to see it laying there
like, you know,
what is it?
Godfather's style or something.
What?
Oh, what if somebody from the mob
cut the head off
and put it at somebody's bed?
Oh, send a message.
That's what happens, right?
Yeah, that's a horse, though.
The horse, yeah.
Yeah, that's a horse.
Well, hope you're okay.
It's not traumatizing.
I'm okay, but now that I told you all about it, you're going to see it.
Should we all go get it off the road today?
Should we cut off a leg?
And just start leaving.
Guys, I'm shocked that the, you know, highway patrol hasn't moved it.
They probably stole the head.
It was them.
Guys, welcome in.
Abby, who works on this show, she gets to pick any segment because she was employee of the months.
And do you have a microphone?
Oh, there go.
Yeah.
And so she picked you guys to come in.
And I was like, well, that's a great idea.
And I didn't even put the two together,
but it also works amazingly that tomorrow is also Veterans Day.
So welcome to the show, the Air Force Academy Band, Wild Blue Country.
Okay.
So what is your name?
I'm Jeff Valentine.
I don't know what to call you because it's like, do I call you like,
that's why I said, what is your name?
He has a name tag on, and I could have easily just called him his name tag.
But do I call you like, what's your rank?
So this is senior master sergeant in the Air Force.
the grade is E8, which is different in each service.
But for the Air Force, they call it senior master sergeant.
And those guys are all technical sergeants.
But when they ask me why name it, that's not my name.
That's just my rank.
So we just use our names, our actual name like you would.
Okay, Master Sergeant Mike.
Or Master Sergeant.
Valentine.
Yeah.
Valentine.
Master Sergeant Valentine.
Oh, man.
He just has so many colors on his.
You know, it's like when you see like General Schwarzkoff.
I thought he was a general when he walked in.
Or any, or Admiral Sergeant.
Okay.
As you can see, I'm intimidated by you guys.
Very much so.
They all are smiling, though.
Are you all musicians like your whole life and you guys got together because you were in the Air Force?
Well, the way the musicians work in the Air Force and a lot of branches is they kind of, there's not as much training.
So that most of the military will send people off after basic training to technical school and they'll learn how to do the job that the service wants them to do.
But in the Air Force, we come in as professionals already.
So we compete for these jobs against lots of other people.
You do?
Yeah, there's an audition like a full-time orchestra where you'll see.
the post and you'll have to send in applications with audio samples of you playing what they say.
And then if they deem that good enough, they'll invite you to the live audition with everybody
else who passed and you'll have to compete round for round to see if you get the job.
And then if you do, at that point, you still have to go to the recruiter and get into basic
training and do the training.
And then you come to work after that instead of going off to training, which they would
send everyone else off to do.
How is this not a show?
Yeah.
It's like, you know, with a voice or whatever, but you're training to be in the band,
but also we get to know you guys as enlisted and we follow you and we root.
This is a show.
Uh-oh.
The wheels are down.
Well, I haven't heard them yet, though.
Did y'all go or do you have the Air Force Academy?
Do you attend, you're the Air Force Academy Band?
Right.
So the Air Force Academy, basically, we are the Air Force Academy band,
which is enlisted professional musicians that are used to support the mission of the Academy.
And then we're kind of dual-hatted because,
We're wearing the uniform, so we promote the Air Force.
We're Air Force enlisted officers, but we're also part of the academy.
So we're dual-hattice that we promote.
There are a four-year college, and they have college students who go.
They're called cadets.
And then they graduate and they become lie lie to the Air Force.
So we support that mission.
But we also, because we're Air Force musicians, this is one of the jobs in the Air Force.
So if someone wants to come in and they're good enough at their instrument,
they could audition and win the job and actually do what we're doing up here.
That's so legit.
So do these guys lose their spot if someone comes in?
Is it every year? How often you have to audition?
No, it's a little bit. So it's similar to tenure. So once you get the job, you have the job. You do have to maintain that and stuff like that. But there's no, it's not likely you're going to lose that job over time unless something happens. It's possible you could get medically, have medical issues that would require you because we still have to do all the same things where we're doing the PT test and running and passing the things and taking all the vaccines. So if we can't do that for some reason, we could get thrown out for that.
Well, Sergeant Jeff, Sergeant Valent. Master Sergeant.
Sir.
Senior Master Sergeant.
Sir.
Sir.
That's all I say.
Sir.
Valentine's, sir.
Will you introduce,
just quickly introduce
everybody in the band here
because there are five of you
total and just kind of
what their specialty is?
Sure.
So I'll just start closer to me.
This is technical sergeant.
All their ranks are tech sergeant.
This is Michael Evangelista.
And he's our bass player.
He's fairly new.
You're the newest member here, right?
Sergeant Evangelist.
Let's go.
Yes, sir.
So he kicked another bass player out, obviously,
He was in Maroon 5 before this.
That's pretty cool.
And our Cajon player,
really our drum kit player,
but he's playing Cajon today is Michael Colletti.
And I've deployed with Mike.
He's a great guy.
He's been in for a while.
You a sergeant too?
Sergeant Colletty.
Yes.
Okay.
And then our lead singer here is Sergeant Denver Murphy.
Sergeant Murphy.
Sergeant Murphy.
Good down.
Good thing.
And our lead guitarist over there
playing acoustic today is Bobby Wolf.
Sergeant.
Sergeant Wolf?
Sergeant Wolf.
All sergeant.
All, Sergeant.
All right.
All right.
So you got to have a good.
All right.
actually deploy?
Yes, absolutely.
To entertain?
Well, we do different things over there.
Thank you.
So there's a band, there's an Air Force band over there 24-7.
So the band just rotate.
So the state side bands will spend a certain amount of time over there and then come back
and swap with another band.
So there's always a band over there that supports AFSEN, Air Force Central Command, and
CENTCOM, the commands over there.
And so we've deployed over there.
And yeah, we do some troop support, but there's also State Department things.
So if one of the cities is trying to gain favor with, you know, people in the
community. They'll send us to the children's cancer hospital. We'll play there. We'll do things in the
community to let them play with us. It's a, it opens up a lot of doors just through music and not, you know,
it's a soft power that we love that we can do. They're performing at the Veterans Day event tomorrow at the
Opry, November 11th. So it's awesome. The Opry's awesome anyway, but they'll be there during the
Veterans Day show, Bill Anderson, John Conley, Oakridge Boys, obviously Wild Blue Country. So,
well, let's hear if they got it. Come on. Everybody turn your chair the other way. If they're good,
turn around. Game show? Yeah.
No, wild blue country, would you guys, because I heard you guys do like an armed service medley, is that possible?
Would you guys give that to us?
All right, let's give it a old run here.
So that would be like each branch has their own song and your marriage?
Yes, ma'am.
So we'll start with Army, and then it goes to Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force, Air Force.
Do you sing the Air Force one best?
We're not biased.
What we would normally do is we play this at the end of the concert so that all the veterans in the audience could actually stand up during.
their song and then people see the services they were in
and then they would sit down the next one stand up and it's a way
to recognize them for a concert. Love that part,
but Amy has a good point. I also
just said husband. My ex-husband
went to the Air Force Academy
and was in the Air Force, but
he was joint, so he was at J-Soc
so joint operations. So he works
with everybody else. Let us
be a part of the conversation here, secret language.
She doesn't hold it against you guys.
No, but it's like
Air Force is sort of, everyone's
seem to like turn their nose up
of like okay out of the Air Force and
because they're fancy. Yeah they're like it's like
the best one well at least. Don't they all
think they're the best one? Yes he would say
they're just jealous because we have the nicest
things. Right?
That's a tough one to answer.
Okay I like it. I like it.
I like the way the Air Force treats their people
and so I've been in for 20 years
and I've deployed a number of times and I've seen
and I just believe in the way the Air Force treats their
people more. It's not about the stuff as much as it's about
the disrespect for people and
inherently instead of I've seen some of the lower ranking people and other services not be treated as well and I'm not sometimes I haven't seen that as being legitimate really gotcha I think it depends who you ask I like all we like all branches I'm just saying we love all you got to bring up controversy with our favorite yeah
they're even played yet here we go this is great though so this is what you do at the end of a show so everybody can stay up and get the recognition they deserve and do they only stand up when their song comes on and do they stay standing the whole time they don't usually stay standing but it's also for family members because sometimes that member can't come and so if it's a family member can't come and so if it's a family.
Remember we announced the title so they know they should stand on behalf of someone who either deployed, perhaps deceased, something like that.
Love it.
Here they are, Wild Blue Country with the Armed Services Medley.
First to fight for the right and to build the nation's might and the army goes rolling along.
Proud of all we have done fighting till the battle's won and the army goes rolling along.
And it's high, high, hey, the army's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong
For wherever we go
You will always know that the army goes rolling along
Anchors away my boys anchors away
Hell too far in shores we sail at break of day
To our last night on shore
Drink to the fall to the fall
Until we meet once more, here's wishing you a happy voyage home.
From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli,
We fight our country's battles in the air on land and sea,
First to fight for right and freedom,
and to keep our honor clean.
We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.
We're always ready for the call.
We place our trust in thee.
Through surf, and shore and howling gale,
High shall our purpose be.
Simperperodus is our guide.
Our fame and glory to
To fight, to save or fight
And die, I Coast Guard, we are for you
We're the mighty watchful eye
Guardian's beyond the blue
The invisible front line
Warfighters brave and true
Boldly reaching into space
There's no limit to our sky
Both night and day
We're the space force from on high
Off we go into the wild blue yonder
Climbing high into the sun
And heat our thunder
Down we dive
Spouting our flames from under
Off with one hell of a roll
Or go down in flame
Hey nothing will stop the US Air Force
That was awesome
I did feel it more when they were singing in the Air Force
I felt a little gustor on the Air Force too
I smiled a little bigger
That makes sense though
That's really good, holy cow
So a couple questions I have
Do you guys all live in the same place?
We all live in Colorado Springs geographically
That's where we live
That's where the bases are that we were employed
Because like low cash
They live in different places now
But they're still a band
They get together and tour
We all are from different places originally
Sure but you all live in Colorado Springs
rings you say? Yeah. Okay. Number two, do you guys charge money to go places? How do you make money
and how do you raise awareness? Like, is it all awareness or what? So legally, we're not allowed to
charge money for anything. It all has to be free and open to the public unless we're deemed
incidental. So for the opi performance, people have to pay for tickets. But they're not paying
specifically to see us. There's no real proof of that. So we're able to go do something like
that. For example, the anthem at the Yankees game or something like that. We could do those things
because we're incidental. So that allows us to go and put this Air Force uniform in front
of people on a large stage like that and get the word out through branding and through
messaging, even though they might have to pay. So legally, we just have to be careful. We wouldn't
be able to be part of something that was raising funding, even if we really agreed to it.
So I know you guys do a lot of St. Ju-Ju stuff. I've followed this show for over at least a
decade, so I'm a huge fan. I'm excited to be here. Starstruck.
He cracked a smile.
Pretty cool. So yes, sir! You smiled, sir! I do sometimes.
And so, yeah, we wouldn't be able to raise money for an organ.
We played St. Jude before as free concerts.
Sure.
But if it's using something to raise money, we even have to be careful doing something like that
because it's tough to, once one organization sees you could raise money for them,
then we have to kind of raise money for everybody else.
And in a way that puts working musicians out of work, and we can't do that.
So we have to be careful tread lightly on how we, on what we're allowed to do.
It's actually difficult to play things that are free and open to the public as a professional band.
It's hard to do.
did you know going into the Air Force that this was an option?
Well, that's what's interesting about the band, is it's similar to, I don't want to say we're like doctors,
but in the way we come in, we're more like doctors.
So we come in already, ready to do our job.
So generally, because this audition, we didn't get into the Air Force prior to the audition.
It's very rare to get into the Air Force and end up in the band.
That's almost, it happens every now and then there'll be a vocalist to someone who's just such a great singer,
but maybe they're a bomb loader or something and they can actually end up winning the audition because they're just so good.
But in general, people come in as professional musicians competing,
with a bunch of other professional musicians.
And then when you get the job,
then you go to basic training
and you do your thing.
And then you come into the Air Force
already with the guaranteed job.
So this is a sought-out.
Like, you know you want to be a professional singer
and this is a sought-out, like, goal thing.
The jobs will be posted in certain places.
And so, for example, in other bands,
if there's a different band
and maybe there are lower rank,
because in this band,
there's a bit of a rank promotion
when you come in.
And if you do, some other bands
will actually have musicians
who want to come into this band.
They'll audition against civilians
and everyone else to try to come here.
to Colorado Springs
actually be part of the Academy
band.
You could not look any more
Air Force though.
Sergeant Valentine.
Like him.
Senior Sergeant Valentine.
Senior,
Super Senior Sergeant,
Master.
Master.
Ballester.
Senior Master.
It's just like
everything about his
chiseled face.
Yeah,
but y'all have to do
all the things
like standing at attention
and all the
like a...
What if they didn't?
What if they got to break
all the rules
because they played music?
That would be cool.
Yeah.
It's like in like real life
they're just counterculture.
Yeah.
That would be cool.
And salute, like people when you're walking on campus and stuff, or any base, I guess.
What about on campus, like, is, or do you all have rank to the young cadets of, like,
if they take a bite of food and they don't chew it in, like, three or five choose?
Do you guys haze them?
Do you guys haze each other?
She wants to know.
Well, she's asking specifically about the cadets.
And so, like, our role with the cadets is really more mentorship and stuff like that.
So we don't necessarily get into the weeds of implementing any punishment.
We'll be involved with them through marching band things and stuff like that.
So it's real positive.
It's bizarre, Amy.
No, no, it's a thing.
Right. Am I wrong?
That's just bizarre.
At one point in time, there was a thing where if you took too big of a bite, you've had to make sure that whatever bite you put in your mouth, you could swallow it in three chews.
And if you can't, then you have to do push-ups.
But isn't that just like a military lore?
Probably, but you're just a...
I'm not aware of that.
Okay.
It might be a thing, but I'm not aware of it.
Must have been happening back in 97.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, this is going on.
This is something else.
Maybe it got like, yeah, hazing.
Okay.
How about this?
I know you guys also, which by the way, that was awesome.
By the way, it's awesome.
This is super great.
Love it.
Could you guys do country roads?
I heard you guys do country roads.
Oh, sure.
Yeah.
I play the whole song.
Do you know the whole song or do you know part of it or what?
Huh?
Okay, only do the middle.
I'm a little bit blown away at how I didn't, it's not that I expected you guys to not be good,
but you're so distinct as well.
It's really freaking cool.
So how about that?
Can we do Country Roads?
All right, here they are.
This is the Air Force Academy Band,
which, by the way, tomorrow Veterans Day,
they will be performing at the Grand Ole Opry,
and I hope you go,
and I hope you get tickets and watch them and cheer.
Yes, sir, yes, sir, when they finish.
Because that's what I'm going to do.
All right, here they are, Wild Blue Country.
The Air Force Academy Band, Wild Blue Country.
Come on.
I thought this would be cool.
I didn't know it was going to be awesome.
Holy cow.
I have a great job.
That was amazing.
Yeah, not she didn't sing.
She, and you guys can't hear her, but she's the one, it was her segment that she wanted to do.
This is really, really cool.
So, do you guys play all year long, or do you like, you do?
So you just, it's a constant, you're just constantly on the road.
You're, hey, touring, right, Eddie?
I got a question, so Sergeant Master, top of the class guy, like, master, master, master, sergeant.
Lord. Lord, Valentine.
So you're just like, are you like the band manager?
No, no, he's plays steel guitar too, but we couldn't fit it in here.
Oh.
Yeah.
So just so you know,
I really did.
I thought he's a band manager.
These nicknames are going to follow me
for the rest of my life now.
I just want you to know that.
Yeah,
I do play steel.
So I'm up here just,
I'm kind of like trying to sort of play along
because I'm used to playing.
Now that I know how large the stages,
because I saw some,
the old videos,
you guys were in a different location.
It was a lot tighter.
And so I just kind of,
we've done radio tour things.
And I generally just have a camera
because we can't fit that kind of thing in there.
Now that I know,
so you should just have us back next year for this.
And then I'll bring the steel.
We'll do that way.
You guys have an invite next year for sure.
Abby, great job.
Employ the month material here for sure.
And not only that, so we talk about, if we did like our St. Jude Radioathon,
could you guys play for that if you don't make money?
We'll find a way, yes.
Okay.
I like what I like that.
And then when you're deployed, how long are you?
And then they get kicked out because they realize they're hundreds in their bad.
All because of us.
That's awesome.
What a great story.
Are you going to ask about eating their apple or something?
No.
Amy, let's not do that.
How long are there...
You pop towels, guys, in the shower.
Yes.
That was real...
I don't know.
How long are you...
Do you order a code red?
Go ahead.
How long are your deployments?
So the way they deploy
the Air Force bands right now,
it's generally about 100 days at a time,
so they're fairly short.
Wow.
And so...
Well, that's pretty long.
I mean, yes, in comparison to some,
that's a hundred days is a long time
to be away from your family.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's as long as they're in the big brother house.
Never thought about that way.
And it's exactly the same.
Same deal.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay, wild blue country, grand ol' opery tomorrow, the Air Force Academy band.
Thank you for your service.
Yes.
Thank you for your time and vocals.
That was super fine.
And the cool thing is on the podcast, we can put up the first performance scuba because
that's like hundreds of years old.
Yeah, there's a public domain.
What about the Space Force, though?
That's not public domain.
That had to be like written yesterday.
Right?
Well, oddly enough, that was written by a guy who lives here in Nashville named Jamie
Tichner, who was our singer prior to Denver.
He was actually active duty in the singer.
and then when he got out of the Air Force, he didn't stay in.
He was very good friends with General John Raymond,
who was the first chief of space operations,
and they started talking about needing a song
as the Space Force was concocted,
and he ended up being the composer for the song,
so when you look it up, it still says James teacher,
so he was over at the hotel last night,
just trying to bar some pants.
Wow.
That's awesome.
How long ago was that song written?
Very recently, maybe a year and a half.
I was walking around Disney World with my family,
getting texts from Jamie trying to figure out
how to have help orchestrating it for the Air Force,
because it was being written at that time.
It was a very neat little story.
I wish there was a line about aliens.
We'll fight aliens.
When they see them, they'll add that line.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Little green men, little green men.
That would be it.
Okay, Wild Blue Country, Air Force Academy Band.
Thank you guys so much for coming in.
There they are. Nice job.
It's a Bobby Bones show interviews.
In case you didn't know.
Well, you do probably know.
But Mama's Broken Heart.
Or is it gumpowder and lead the one that goes,
At the beginning.
No, that's mama's broken heart.
Miranda Lambert can talk to her in like 30 seconds.
She has this big chair.
Well, she's been the leader of Mutt Nation forever, raising money for animals.
She's a big animal person, but she's selling her own boots from Mutt Nation, which is cool.
We'll talk about that.
Also, Vegas.
And then she's also started her own record label, which could be a bit sensitive to talk about.
But if I'm feeling it, I'm going to go to it.
Sensitive.
Yeah, because it's like, you know, I was talking to her backstage at the ACMs when I was doing the whatever, the microphone, the backstage stuff live.
And she just left her label and was like.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, I see it that.
Yeah.
Okay.
So if I'm feeling it, I'm going to go for it.
All right, Miranda Lambert is on.
Let's go.
On the Bobby Bones show now.
Miranda Lambert.
Not only is she on, it's her birthday.
Everybody say, happy birthday.
Hey, happy birthday.
Happy birthday.
Hi, birthday.
Hi, birthday, Miranda.
Hello.
Well, first, happy birthday.
You're awesome.
And I hope you're celebrated, like, the awesome person you are.
How about that, guys?
Yes.
That's sweet.
Surrounded by puppy dogs.
So, yes, they're celebrating me.
That's very sweet to me to say, too.
So.
Very sweet, Bobby.
I'm interested because I was seeing this, and thanks for coming on to talk about this.
She's doing a boot cell at Casaroza, which is her bar in restaurant downtown, from 11 to 2.
But are these your actual boot?
Because it's a closet cell.
These your boots?
Yeah, it's kind of, I mean, honestly, it's just pretty much, like, highlighting the fact that I'm a boot hoarder.
Glad you had a door there.
I was like, okay, I just, I could figure out a way to, like, let these go because I love boots so much.
I have way too many pairs, and I have a boot line with Idol win, so they just keep coming.
So I was like, what if we just sell these for Mutt Nation and, you know, money for puppy dogs?
That way, there's a win all around in my closet does it look like an actual boot store.
anymore. What size are you? Eight and a half.
Perfect. Are they all eight and a half or you have like some eighths and some nines?
They're all eight and a half. But I was like, well, hopefully there's enough girls
with a size eight and a half that we could make some money for the pups tomorrow.
Call my birthday. Can you have that many to fill up the whole place?
Like a really embarrassing. But to be fair, I do have a bootline with I don't win.
So I get a sample of every single pair made because I approve every single pair made.
So, no, I hear you. But to be fair, you're also wildly successful and famous and have
great style, so you should have a bunch of boots, to be fair. You don't have to feel guilty
about it, you know? Thank you, Robbie. I appreciate that, but my husband was like, hey,
how about a one-in, one-out situation? I was like, how about you shut up? No, I feel that.
And you would think I'd be like, I feel that because my wife, no, I'm the one that has to do that
with clothes. With your shoes? Yeah, with my clothes. Yeah, shoes, especially. My wife's like,
how about we, if you get a pair, you donate a pair. And by donate either to one of the places or to
Eddie or Mike, who wears my same shoes?
We appreciate that very much.
Yeah.
So these boots like $10,000 a pair or what?
Whatever you want to pay.
No, they're all $100 a pair.
Each boot, just $100 across the board because we just want to, you know, it's a good way to, you know, every
birthday I, I don't, I have people don't need a present if you want to get me something,
go donate to shelters.
That's, you know, that's my vibe.
We bond over that, Bobby.
So it's fun, you know.
I'm kind of sad to see him go, but it's for a good cost.
so it's okay.
People, they have to be there to get them a person.
They can't buy them online, right?
It's just at Casarosa.
So, like, I mean, it's not a bad thing.
You can walk in there, have a margarita, drink about it first, and then go get you a pair of boots.
But here's what you can do for Miranda's birthday, because obviously we're on all over the country.
You can go to muttonation.com, and let's just say, let's say you're not able to be in Nashville,
which most of our audience isn't.
You can go, and I would just say, hey, for Miranda's birthday, I challenge you to donate 10 bucks.
If you go to muttonation.
That would be so sweet.
Or volunteer your time, too.
I always encourage people.
just tied up for an hour to walk dogs.
You know, it proves their life so much and there are a chance for adoption.
So, yes, thank you for that, Bobby, because I love it.
I love when people engage and, like, get on the cause that means so much.
I'm going to get a pair of these.
Well, can you save, can you hold me back a pair of boots and then sign them so I can keep them in the studio, and I will pay you for them.
100%.
I got you.
Okay.
I'll keep a special pair.
I have so much, like, crap stuff on my desk.
I don't even like.
I think that would be fun.
And then when people will be like, hey, what are those boots?
I'll say, well, Mutt Nation, it'll give me a reason to talk about it on the air, too, if someone brings up the boots.
You know what size you your wife is.
She's the eight and a half.
Wow.
I don't, I don't, it's not about her.
Maybe you buy another pair.
It's not about her.
That's not about her.
It's about me. It's about us.
It's serendipity, y'all.
Yes.
And Muttnation.com.
Hey, are you doing more of the Vegas residency?
Yes.
I'm headed back there, like, right after Thanksgiving, and I'm there all until December the 17th during the NFR, which is super fun because, like, every
Cowboy and Calgirl in America is all in Vegas at one time.
It's like a sea of, it looks like Texas just exploded all over Vegas.
It makes me very happy.
Do you, when you do this show and it's, it's in an amazing Vegas theater, when you go
and do a show that's not in an amazing Vegas theater, sometimes do you miss how easy the
amazing Vegas theater is and was?
It is just such a different world.
You know, it's so, it's cushy.
I mean, it's an amazing audience built.
I mean, if you're in Vegas, they come there.
ready for fun. You know what I mean? So it just sets a different
tones than tour sometimes.
But also because there's
like no such thing as too much of anything in
Vegas. So we got rhinestones,
fringe, fire.
I mean, it's over the top. But it's super
fun. I've really loved the
learning to do something different since I've toured
for so long. You know, I really enjoy it.
Miranda Lambert is on with us,
and I hope this isn't too like in the weeds
or inside baseball. But so
you have your own, like,
record label imprint now, right? So that's, that's, that's what you're doing. You're kind of branching out
and doing your own thing. Is that, is that true? Yeah, well, I, I, I'm partnered with Big Loud,
um, and my buddy John Randall, and we partnered to start Big Cloud, Texas, which is like,
there's such a music scene down there. I mean, that's how, Willie and Waylon and the Boys,
that's how long, you know, that goes back. And we know so many amazing artists that were
started in Texas or, or tour there, or tour in that region. And,
just haven't kind of gotten to where places they need to go yet.
So John and I were like, would love to be sort of part of this flagship.
They go out of Texas label to help these artists write with them or produce them or just
be there for a mentor or help them find like where they need to go.
And so I'm super, super excited about it.
And it's so fun to like just think about it reminds me so much of like the days where I've
just started, you know, just being such a baby artist and having all the hope in the world
and all the excitement and all this, like, new energy.
So I'm excited to, like, feel that again and be part of it for, you know, watching these kids stars rise.
Oh, congratulations.
Happy birthday.
And I hope you sell, you will sell every boot.
I would have sold them 100 bucks for one.
We will hold you some, I promise.
No, what I'm saying?
They're going to go, like, crazy.
People are going to show up and, what if one person wanted to buy them all, the first person in line?
Is there like a limit?
I don't think there's a limit.
I actually don't know how many pairs there are.
Hilarious.
It's also embarrassed.
One person to buy them on.
Miranda.
Miranda, thank you.
and I hope the Vegas residency goes great and can't wait to see you again.
Thank you so much.
All right.
Happy birthday.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.

She's the board.
Nice job.
Amy's the winner this week.
Thank you very much.
I do want to mention the CMAs one more time that happened on Wednesday night.
So we had events leading up to it that a lot of us went to.
Abby was, I saw you, by the way, on the red carpet, and your post was walked the red carpet as an artist for the first time.
And I thought that was great.
Did you see that lunchbox?
She didn't walk the red carpet.
There's no chance.
Then she was like, I'm just kidding.
I was behind the series.
But technically, right?
I mean, technically.
You nailed it.
I can say that.
I'm just kidding.
So what happened?
because I've heard from a couple people
that lunchbox was a little too
asky at the CMA remotes
when it came to free stuff.
He's kind of out of control.
What happened?
Okay, so I went to the bathroom
and it was like in between interviews
we were doing and he was talking to the people
working there and he was asking them for boxes
like to take home of food
and it was a nice spread.
Food like they were feeding everybody that's working?
Yeah, like artists that come in
before they do interviews
and then everybody working behind the scenes
like they get that food and it's like steak, chicken, really nice size.
And there's not a box.
Yeah, there's no boxes in sight.
It's nice place.
It stays for everybody there.
Right.
So what was he asked?
What do you need boxes for?
And how many?
He asked like for five or six boxes that so he could take them home because he was going to
the soccer game after that and he was like, I want to take dinner to my family.
Oh my gosh.
Did you not say that?
No, I did.
Because they were going to take it down.
It was, I think it was a four.
There's always are going to take it down and throw it away.
Were they taking it down?
They were not taking it down without a
At a certain time they take you down. Well, you had a certain time.
Like 4 o'clock, right? And so
I'm still there and I'm like, well, there's still a lot of food out there and it's just
going to go to waste. And so... So only because it was going to
waste. I'm trying to, you know, limit waste in the world.
We waste so much stuff in this world. So I'm... Limit waste, reuse, repurpose, recycle.
This is why... No, because you're getting boxes. So that's not really like...
No, that's reused. It's not wasting the food. The food's just going to go in the trash.
Wasn't embarrassing. I don't believe his whole thing about... He wanted
free stuff. Yeah, I wanted free food because we were going to the soccer game that night,
and it was late. And I was like, man, we're going to be rushed to get dinner. So I
wouldn't going to get home to like 5 o'clock, 515. Got to get to the game. So food is already
on the table. Boom, let's go. And you didn't feel weird about asking for it from, you don't
really know them. You didn't pay for that. No, I don't care. More again, what's the other thing?
Because he was asking for free Opry tickets. Was that that, was it? What show was that? Do you
remember? Do you guys know where lunchbox was like, I'll take six tickets? Oh, yes. We were in a
The Air Force band.
Oh, yeah.
It was in our group text message.
The Air Force band that was in here earlier?
Yes.
Okay, so what happened?
So Abby had sent out a text like, hey, guys,
does anyone want to go to the opera to see the Air Force band?
And the first response, I'm talking seconds later, was Lunchbox saying,
please hold six for me.
I'm going to check with my crew and I'll let you know we can go.
Six.
Hold six.
That's so ridiculous.
It's not like a general admission.
It's seats.
Yeah.
And we would only have so many to give away.
Maybe six or eight total.
Okay. No one else said they wanted any. I'll take six.
You didn't give anyone a chance. You were the first to respond.
Guess what? Here we are on Friday. Still no one has said they want them.
Well, yeah, because you took them all.
Don't see there's a problem.
And what's the six for? He has five in his family.
No, my kids aren't going. It's going to be me, my wife.
Oh. My roommate from college and his wife are in town.
Missing Garrett?
No, John and Heather. And then he has his daughter and her boyfriend. They're all in town.
So figure why not take him to the opera?
That's fun. And by why not? You mean you just found something free to do more than anything else.
Well, a free to do, and the operas, one thing people love to do when they come to Nashville.
But mostly free.
Yeah, we're offered tickets, so why not take them?
But you weren't offered six.
Bones, when an artist says, like, I've got guest tickets.
Like, what does that mean?
You get one plus one.
You get you plus one.
Not six?
Never.
But if Abby is asking the whole show, two for Morgan, two for Eddie, two for me.
But nobody said they wanted.
Exactly.
No one said they wanted them.
So I take Eddie's two and I take Morgan's two.
Boom, what's the big deal?
I think if you had waited a day or so and then said, hey, if nobody wants them, I'll take
everybody's. Well, that's how you can even say it in the beginning.
Or you can be quick on the draw and get there first.
He said, hold six.
Like, reserve them.
I did not turn in that request, by the way.
Because that's ridiculous.
It is ridiculous.
You seriously did not, you seriously didn't put in the request.
But did anybody else reserve them?
No one else reserved them.
Oh, I mean, because he could have, I can't go so he could have money.
But that's a conversation a day later to go, hey, if nobody requested them, if you have
extra one's going to have them. It's not just to yell
to have six at the beginning. I'm so going to be. I wouldn't
have turned in the request either immediately. I would
have waited a day and
see if people were going to come to you.
And if they wanted them. In fact, you might need to make other
plans. Yeah, I did not. I don't think you
have that. I mean, that's embarrassing for
Abby, though. I'm embarrassed for Abby,
we're not asking. Like, what?
They said a few. I don't even know if they have six.
Overall. That's the thing. So you should
have got a number because you offered them to everybody. What if
all five of us were replied, yeah, I'll take them.
I said a few. A few. That doesn't
mean like a whole lot. I was going to be like... What did the text say? Does anybody have it? They can pull it on my phone.
No, no, don't. Don't trust lunchbox. Lunchbox goes into his bag phone.
Abby said, let me know if you wanted to go to the opera this Saturday night. The Air Force band guy has a
few ticket. A few. That's not even six. Right, but... That's four probably because you don't do three.
That's probably four total tickets. She offered it to the whole show. So who was she going to pick
if we all said we wanted him? Morgan, and what was the next text? And then his follow up.
How many minutes right after? Okay, she texted at 547 and he texted at 6.30.
Okay, thank you.
That put six on hold for me.
I will confirm with my crew if they're in.
Did you confirm?
There is.
You never confirmed.
But I said put them on hold.
Abby,
got them.
Never confirmed.
Never heard back.
Got them.
Got them.
Sorry.
You better put that request in now.
Oh.
Hey.
Who are you?
I wouldn't be talked to like that.
Exactly.
Just ask if I don't.
Wash your back.
Yeah.
Wash your back.
Do you just always look for free stuff all the time,
nonstop?
I mean,
if it,
presents itself, I'm going to take it.
I think in the world, if someone
offers you something, you take it. No, no,
but it's not offering, because they did offer you food, but it
wasn't food to take home to your family. They offered me. They did offer
a few tickets, but it wasn't six for your friends
from college. Right. I do love
that he's always thinking about his family, though. I do like
He's not. He's thinking about himself because you have to spend
money on them. Yeah, right. I thought about
my family. Meal provided to my family
keeps their stomachs fed, keeps him
growing. And if you didn't have money yourself,
I go like, but
and then this is like, hey, my friends are coming to
town, they've never been to the opera. Why not give them the experience of a lifetime?
Then buy them tickets or get some. But I was offered tickets.
A few. Three. That few is three, by the way. Officially. A few is three. Would you take the three and
then pay for the other three? Yeah. But if they didn't sit together. That's okay. I can sit with me.
That's hard. I guess I would sit with me.
Your roommate. My roommate and then he could decide who the third is and then the other three sit
somewhere else. That's fair. Yeah. Catch up my roommate. That would be fun.
All right. Well, anyway, thanks everybody.
And I mean, you know what's funny?
My roommate is a former Marine, so he's going to support a military band and you weren't going to let him go.
That's cool.
Wow, wow.
Didn't realize that.
Did he even know?
No, what?
Yeah, then we're going to go to the opera?
No, no, no.
The military connection.
Do he even know who is playing?
No.
Okay, exactly.
So he wasn't actually.
But he did serve our country.
I hope you know that.
I hope you feel good about not giving him tickets.
Don't thank you for us.
Abby, you should just give him and his person tickets.
I will.
Give him another.
Oh, he has four.
He has his wife, his daughter, and her boyfriend.
That's four, so...
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you for serving our country, John.
Hey, everybody. It looks more consistent, you know?
All right.
Robby Bone Show.
Bonehead.
Story of the day.
This story comes us from Miami, Florida.
A 19-year-old man called a lift,
which is the same thing as an Uber.
It's a ride chair.
Pick him up at his house.
Take him to the local store.
And as he's getting out of the car,
he pulls out of guns, says,
give me your car.
Give me the car.
Did he have his name in the app
when he ordered the lift
to begin with?
So she got out of the car.
He drove off.
She called police and she showed him the ride share app.
They went to this house and she was able to identify him.
Yeah, you're right.
It's all there.
All his info.
All the info.
Car was parked about three houses down.
I wonder if it was some sort of emergency robbery.
Oh, like I need to save someone.
Where I know this is a bad decision, but somebody's going to die if I don't.
Like in the movies?
Like the world's going to end.
Oh, like he was chasing a suspect.
Yeah.
Like I need to get out.
Because this guy's an idiot.
Can police really do that, though?
Like if they're running out or someone,
hey, let me have your car, let me have your car.
I don't know if they can just declare property theirs.
It sounds like, based on all the movies I've seen,
yes, it could be true.
Yeah, good question, maybe.
I don't know the answer to that.
I mean, maybe he was an undercover cop.
Maybe.
There are a lot of things.
This guy is a moron.
Okay, thank you.
I'm Lunchbox.
That's your Bonehead Story of the Day.
We did this segment where you could ask anybody on the show for a favor,
and Eddie, you asked Abby for a favor.
And the favor was
If she can watch my dog
At her house
Like my dog can go to her house
And stay there for like three days
And what was her answer?
She never gave me an answer
Got it
So she didn't tell you yes or no
No
Why do you need your dog to stay at her house?
We're gonna go out of town for a few days
And that's what she does
She's the...
That's not what she does
She's not a dog
She watches your dog
Yes because she's a friend
She watches Morgan's dog and cat
But I mean she's not a dog watcher by trade
Right she's friends with every one
She's a good friend to people
that have animals. And they compensate
her and she goes by their house.
Guys, there's nothing wrong with being a dog watcher.
She's got a skill. She's a dog watcher.
No, she's not. She's a producer.
She answers phones. She is
a great segment. She comes up with great ideas.
And she watches dogs.
I don't want to minimize her role here because she's a big
part of this show. Right. She's not the resident
show Dog Watcher. But she does
that as well. Yeah, she's good at it too.
Abby,
so are you going to watch Eddie's dog
or can you? Is that a thing?
Well, like I said, if I'm in town, I will.
We've not talked about dates.
Yeah, we've talked about dates.
I was like, I haven't decided if I'm going home yet.
God.
I need to decide.
If you're not going home, you stay at my house for a couple days and watch Stanley.
And the dog can go to your house too?
If she's watching my dog, then she has to.
Did you just swoop in?
Whoa, wait a second.
I will pick Bobby over Eddie.
Why?
Because you offer her $10 a day.
Exactly.
Did you offer even in money?
No, no, it was free.
It was a favorite.
Yeah, exactly.
Abby, you want to ask Eddie for a favor back?
Yeah, I did.
I was like, okay.
If you're going to ask me one, I do want to ask you this because so you guys know I'm learning how to play guitar and all that.
And I've been going, taking lessons from this guy.
But I drive like 30 minutes there, 30 minutes back.
And I'm paying him quite a bit.
And I was like, does this make sense?
I work with a guy who plays guitar.
So why can't he just teach me like after?
Like stay late like 30 minutes or so.
Yeah, I've got a lot going on.
I don't know if I have time for that.
I mean, he is a long.
He's a pretty busy guy.
What about a trade?
Watch the dog.
Get a guitar lesson.
Okay.
Watch the dog for three days.
I'll do three days of lessons.
You're talking about 72 hours versus an hour and a half.
Well, it is what it is, man, you know?
Like trade, tit for tat, like they say.
Yeah, that wouldn't be, no, it's like 30 minutes after work.
I would say 10 lessons.
Oh, come on.
For three days?
Ten lessons of 30 minutes.
I'll do this.
I agree.
I know you would do it.
Let me sleep on that.
Hey, while he's sleeping, Abby, if you're staying here, you should stay at our house.
Okay.
Oh, I'm putting that on my calendar.
Well, why would she stay at your house?
house.
To watch the dogs.
Well, she can't do both.
She's going to have my dog.
You haven't even, she hasn't committed anything.
Oh, boy.
But if I say yes to the lessons.
No, you're on the clock.
The clock starts now.
I'm sleeping.
On it.
Wait.
All right.
We're done.
Bye.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care which I'm saying.
Yep, that's me.

When a group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist, they take matters into their own hands.
I vowed. I will be his last target.
He is not going to get away with this.

My next guest, it's Will Ferrell.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
He goes, just give it a shot.
But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
