The Bobby Bones Show - FRI: Megan Moroney On Songs About Exes And New Song With Kenny Chesney +  Why We Had To Cancel A Segment + Lunchbox Drags Abby's Boyfriend

Episode Date: May 9, 2025

Megan Moroney stopped by as the Friday Morning Conversation. She talked about writing songs about exes and whether or not they know they are written about them, collaboration with Kenny Chesney, and her fancy new tour bus! Bobby shared a story that was initially a Tell Me Something Good but took an unexpected turn so we had to cancel the segment. Abby offered up her boyfriend's services as a financial planner to Lunchbox and Eddie to help them get set up for retirement. Lunchbox thought the offer was a bad idea and proceeded to drag her boyfriend. In the Anonymous Inbox, a listener started dating a guy who is pushing his 40s but has never been in a serious relationship. She asked Bobby if it's a red flag to be in that phase of your life with not having been in one.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you guys want the sad news of how much money you should have saved for retirement based on your age? Yes. Oh, gosh. Yeah, it's bad news for everybody pretty much.

So if you're less than 35, like 30 to 35, you should, but you don't think about retirement at 30. You don't. You're having fun. Well, I wasn't, but I wasn't thinking about retirement. Most people. $39,000, save for retirement. It could be 401K, whatever that is. Oh.

So you guys are below 30, or above 35. Do you even have that? No. No, but I mean, that's not that much if you're only 35. I didn't realize it. That is a lot. It's a lot of money, dude. That's a lot of money.

Do you have that? At 34? No, but I'm saying, I thought you were going to say like, you know, $200,000. At 33 years old? We're like all just starting our. I don't know. I don't know how to retire, so I don't know how this works. I think I have like $1,000 in my bank account when I was 30 years old, like the most.

That's why I'm like, wow. I could have done that maybe. I don't know if I had that, honestly. I'm good now, but then. Maybe less for you. Between 35 and 44, Amy and lunchbox. That's me. You should have $135,000 saved in your retirement just to be able to retire at a normal rate.

Oh, man. Amy, you're good? You don't have to answer that. I'm just letting you know. Are you good, Amy? This is a recent study by Northwestern Mutual. Okay, next up, 45 to 54, Eddie. That's me.

I got already tell you right now, I don't have it. To retire without massive financial consequences. concerns. $246,000 in your retirement. That makes me so sad. It's getting really expensive. Like, I don't have to. How do we get there? Yeah, how do we get there now? Like, there's no catching up. So you might as well give up. Is that what you're saying? I'm never going to retire. So just throwing the towel. I can roll through the other things because we're not at this age yet. But you do, who knows, you could make a little bit and then put it on red on the roulette table and double it. Oh, man. That sounds wise.

Yeah, that's how you can get there. 55 to 64, they say you need $364,000. $65 to $74,000, $410,000. And then as you get older, they say you just need a little less. Because you're about to die. Yeah. Most people think they need $1 million to retire comfortably. That's what I always thought.

Oh, my gosh. You saying that's not the case? Mm-mm. So can you go back? That's what you always thought, but you're not building towards that. Real good point. Well, Amy, it's a different thing Like, thinking about it and being able to do it is hard.

I mean, if I went home and counted my change, I may have a couple thousand. You change? Yeah, because, like, what I do is, I learn this from No Teeth Keith, my old baseball coach, is like when you pay in cash, like I'll say,

it's $2.12 for whatever you're buying. You give them $3. And then that $88, you put it to retirement. You put it in a jar. Yeah, I mean, that's a piggy bank when you're eight as well. Yeah, and that's what I've been doing.

Yeah. Okay, hey, everybody retires in different ways. So. But when it's sitting in the jar, it's not able to grow any with interest. But it still grows. Like, you see it fill up and it makes you feel better. The amount grows when you put more in. Yeah.

It does make you feel really good when you start filling it up. Abby would like to offer you guys a little something. Abby? Oh, great. So my boyfriend, he's actually a financial planner. And so sometimes I go home and I'm just like, no offense. But the guys I work with, they are idiots. when it comes to money.

So I'm like, please help them. Hold on, Abby, let me stop you. Do you guys not think you're idiots? No, we're not idiots. We have a lot of expenses. I have four kids. You didn't even know he had a 401k or like what it was. It's not about what you've been able to do or what you have.

It's about your lack of knowledge when it was put right in front of you and says, oh, you have just read this and you refuse to read this. Well, and now I know that in my 30s I shouldn't have been like partying and spending money. No, you can do that. I was having experiences. You know what I mean? Like I was trying to live for the moment. What kind of experiences?

Oh, just, you know, living life on. Are you saying chicks? Yeah, well, chicks are one of them. That doesn't cost you money. For him, yeah. I ain't free. Oh, that's true. I mean, you're going here, going out, you're going to Vegas, you're trying.

I mean, it's just, what do you think your boyfriend could do for them? I mean, he would be glad to have a phone call with them. Like, that's his expertise. Zoom. No, no. Probably should do a Zoom and record it. Look them in the eyes. Let me tell you what I'm not going to do.

Have Abby's boyfriend look at my money. He's not looking at your money. Like, okay. He doesn't need to get in. Hey, you know, you're mean to Abby? Let me go ahead and delete that money. Oh, you think he then hacks you? I mean, that's a little weird.

He would not do that. He's professional. He wouldn't even tell me. He also probably wouldn't look in your money. It's just the first call is just a general ask questions. Well, we tell them all about our money. Yeah, like you know. No, no.

He has to know my money. No, here's the money. How much have you saved for retirement? Zero. That's your money. And he's going to laugh and be like, you're wasting my time. He's going to need to know what they have so he can advise them on how much to start saving. But he thinks.

that he's going to get into his checking account immediately and see everything he's got. I mean, eventually, if you took a further step, but I think the initial call, he would just give you some, like, basic advice. Do you guys want Abby's boyfriend? I have to think about that. So would Abby's boyfriend, like, if I gave him my account, he would say, thank you, trust me with your account, I will make it grow. That's like a financial advice. That's what he does. That is, I don't think he's doing investments?

He does do that too. Okay. So that's a different thing than what Abby said. But if he does that too, just give him full access. Do you give him all your passwords. I'm saying. How crazy would that be? Check back in in three months and see what's happened.

Yeah. I mean, I fully trust him. So I know he would help you guys. Lunchbox the money that you just stuck on Robin Hood by just guessing stuff, you could have put that with somebody who actually knows what they're doing. Yeah. Is Abby's boyfriend like rich? Because you want to like, your money guy.

How low does he? You want your money guy to be rich, right? Because you know he's a good money guy. Well, I would say just to push back. on that. A lot of people that get into finance don't get in because they come from a whole lot of wealth because people have a whole lot of wealth of higher money guys. So a money guy is not a position. They're not psychic. To have good sensibilities, he probably has a decent amount of money and lives comfortably, but that you don't want a money guy that's rich. Oh, because I think he'd like have the percentage of what his clients have. You want rich people to use the money guy, not a money guy who's rich. Why would a rich dude go to a money guy that has less money than him? Like that makes no sense. Like, I mean, Like, a money guy should be hitting every stock and be getting rich. That would be like an NBA player only getting trained by NBA players that are better than them.

That doesn't happen. I mean, it just seems crazy to me that this guy is going to tell me where to put my money, but he doesn't have any money. No one said he doesn't have money. And second of all, it doesn't matter. I'm not arguing with him. Is he a millionaire? That's also irrelevant to the question.

No, no, it's not. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. If he was a millionaire, wouldn't that be sketchy, then you'd think he's sketchy? If he was running a hedge fund, it would be different. No, it's not even a... Okay, he just wants to give you advice. You should be with Abby's boyfriend.

I should. You should. You really should. I'm telling you, he's going to look at my account. He's going to laugh. That's okay. How do you think I feel when I go to the doctor and he's like, pull your pants down? Same thing.

I feel the same way, but you know what? You got to do it. Oh, man. Let me talk to my wife about it. I'm not opposed to it yet. It's just a free. Just see what's up. It's a bit for the show, but he's also real.

So it's not like he's going to try to, you know, do anything weird because he knows it's all accountable to the show. Does he have an office? Like, I go meet in a boardroom? Can I meet in a boardroom with him? I mean, you could. That feels important.

I could do that. I would just send Eddie for now. Okay. Yeah. Then I can tell people I got a money guy. Yeah. Well, lunchbox is like, oh, hey, no, I don't want it. Now all of a sudden when Eddie's going to go, he's like, well, maybe I do want to go.

In a boardroom. In a board room. In a board room. I mean, it does cool if we have a meeting in a boardroom. I've never had a boardroom like six feet down. It's not even little. Yes. I feel like that's pretty big and it's...

You set it up? Yeah. Okay. Got it. Thank you, Abby. Mm-hmm. Bobby Bones. I recently met a guy who's 38 and single.

I met him organically, went on her first date. I discovered he's never been in a serious relationship. At first I thought he was great. But then it hit me. Wait, why is he still single? Listen, I get it. In your 30s, especially dating in a big city. You're going to meet people coming out of first marriages.

Totally normal. I've dated divorced dads with kids. But I've never dated someone at this phase in their life. life who had never been in a serious relationship. If someone is pushing 40 and has never had a serious relationship, is that a red flag, or is it just bad luck? Signed dating in a big city. Well, I would say that it's not a red flag.

Now, I didn't get married until I was 39. I never told any girlfriend or partner that I loved them until my wife. So I would say that I was never in a really serious relationship until my current wife. And had she thought this, she wouldn't have dated me. but there should have made a pink flag on me. Not a red flag, but for sure a pink flag. Because you need to at least evaluate why this person is 37, 38, 39, 40 years old and never been in a serious relationship. Because something is there.

It doesn't have to be something that is complete toxic and will, you know, ruin the opportunity or the prospects of it going any further. But, you know, my wife had to weigh that I had not really been in a serious relationship, that I was a bit older, that I was totally, invested in my career so much so that it had taken me out. So yeah, pink flag. Figure out why. And it's probably something weird there, but it doesn't have to be so weird that it breaks you up. Right. There is something, culture, there's something different about it. Because it was for me, but I don't think it has to ruin anything. I think there's an trying to understand why. Yeah, pink is fair. Yeah, it's not a white flag though. Red. Oh, yeah. It's not a white flag. It's not a, don't worry about it. Don't pay attention to it. No, you need to

No. Pink means investigate? Pink, well, reds stop. Yeah, out of there. Pink is like, pay attention. Pink's like kind of go a little slower. You can say yellow if you're doing traffic lights, but pink's like a lighter version of red. So, yeah, it's a pink flag. Figure out what's up. He may have some mom and dad issues.

Attachment stuff. Yeah, which I did, obviously. Oh, gosh, man. Some avoidant attachment people that are real avoidant at the beginning, it's tricky. They trick you. They trick you. They seem really like. You talk about me.

I don't know what you're like today I have no idea But yeah it's just you have to be aware of that Because sometimes it can present as like Oh wow you're very Available and easy to be with And then all the sudden you're like Oh my gosh you're very scared of attachment

Oh you're talking about me for sure Oh yeah yeah yeah I don't know that that's what you're like My wife tells me I'm like that in arguments Well like if we're arguing about something She's like you're avoiding an attachment Because I just want to go way and figure it all in my head and then come back and not even present why I'm good now. I just want to live life again, but I've figured it all out. Yeah. You have figured it all

in your head. And no need to share with her because I got it all under control. So just roll with it. Yeah. Sharing with your partner would be crazy. Just roll with it. See what I'm saying? I'm a pink flag. He's probably a pink flag. You're still pink. Yeah. So pink it up. Pay attention. But he may be awesome. There's also way less baggage. Way less baggage about exes and kids and stuff like that too. And we all have our own pink flags. Oh, trust me. You do all of you. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. go get it. It's hard to find good people. So we're rooting for you. Thanks for sending it. Close it up. Voice emails. Let's go. Dear Bobby, you are a huge inspiration to me and I really look up to you as a person. I relate to you in a lot of ways and I just want to know as an inspiring social media influencer. How do you get your foot in the door? Like what? I don't even know how to say it. How the heck do you do it? The squeaky wheel get the oil.

Any tips would be fairly appreciated. Specifically, you have to be, I would say, supremely niched. If you're going to be an influencer, you need to be so specific, especially when you start about what you're influencing. If you're going to influence, let's say, bottled water, you go around and you just do bottle water ratings. I think this is the best. And your whole feat is bottled water.

Hashtag kind of matter not so much because AI kind of knows what you're talking about now. You just have to continue over and over and over to do it. And then tag people, tag people, tag people, get them to share it. That's the key to get it. And also it has to be good. But that's the key to getting started. Because you do something good, the algorithm will catch it. And the algorithm will feed it to other people who like that.

And then they'll follow you. It's a slow build. For any other job, you beg to get in on the ground level. How do you get it from the door? You beg, hey, I'll do anything. Anything. And then you wink at them when you lick your lips. Then it gets weird

Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, that's how you get in Yeah, yeah, good luck with that Let's go to the next one, Lucy I love listening to you And I'm six years old I'm in first grade And I made this joke

What's the pig's common sickness? What is a pig's common sickness? Pink eye Pink eye, ha ha! It's a good one I like it I love the supportive mom too Really push them to

Just in case we didn't understand Push them to grow. I like it. Next up. Eddie, I really want to buy one of your smoked chickens. The only dilemma that I have here is I live in Oregon. But I have no freaking flu if you can ship me chicken. I'll pay for it. Figure out how to get me a chicken. Can you ship chickens to Oregon? You can probably ship anything.

But you can't ship anything, right? I mean food like meat. I remember I got a turkey one time that my dad sent me. He shipped it from Texas. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, DM me. Make it happen. Well, his name is no name. So you're looking at that one.

That's what it says. So what he listed his name as. And give me one more. Please do a follow up on Amy bringing country crop. Do a follow up and let me know how everybody loves it. And I hope that they do. I hope they do. I hope they do.

Amy? I wonder if she's from Kansas where they turn it. Is that where they churn it? Yeah. In Kansas. They still churn? I picture a bunch of like milkmaid with the hats on all out of the field. Just churning in the bucket.

That's what it looks like on the bucket. Well, and in the bucket. Yes, I did take it. Everybody loved it. And then I had it in my fridge and my kids started having it. And then my sister, I sent her a picture like from my fridge. And I was like, this look familiar. And she was like, oh, my gosh, it looks like the inside of our fridge when we were kids because our mom always had it in there.

And so I'm going to do it again for Mother's Day. Just as a little nod to my mom. What, my friend? Every time you go country crock. You wear the little hat and the dress. But that's not the picture I sent my sister. I wasn't dressed up. It was just the inside of my fridge seeing the country crock.

spread in the fridge because that's what we had growing up and it's nostalgic for us. And now I'm giving that to my kids. You know what? The memory. You're leaving it down. Oh, I thought you were like leaving them in the will of being a country crock. The great thing about country crock is that it's so, like, it's so wide open the bucket. You could just take toast.

Not that I would do this. Oh, like dip in the day and I would just rub it on the top of it. Dip it right in there. Well, not dip, like skim it. My grandma would get mad at me. Yeah. Because she was a big country crocker. And that was true.

there was little breadcrums stuck in there. But then I was trying to cut those off. What's up for Mother's Day? That's what I'm going to do with my kids. We're just going to do like a brunch and similar thing. I'll be with just my kids though because my boyfriend. I didn't know if we're going to try to do something together, but he's got kids and they go celebrate their own thing since they lost their mom.

They're going to be, they have like a tradition that they do. And I was like, okay, I'm just going to keep it simple. It'll just be me and Stevenson and Stasheera. And we'll have like a fun. We'll go to church and then do a brunch. and then, I don't know, maybe have them like massage on my feet or something. Interesting.

Is that weird? I have Stasheera do that all the time. One on each foot. Well, yeah, Stichore is better at it. With the country crock. For like the butt. For the spread. Okay.

Right up there. This took a turn. I think we'll just keep it on the biscuits. This Mother's Day rock the table with country crock original spread. It brings that delicious buttery taste that Amy's family loved. It is churned in Kansas. I told you. And those ladies.

I don't know, but it just says churning Kansas. I had no idea. Perfect for spreading, topping, and passing down the table. Give the fans what they want because you just can't beat the taste of country crock. That's for sure, though. Because there's just so much of it. It's a big old tub. My favorite is when you open it and it still looks like it was like just dropped in there.

It's got the little point in the middle. Love that. Oh, you like to point? That's like satisfying. I like to keep it flat. Like, no matter how many times a dip, I like to remake it flat every time. So I go back in, it's fresh. Like I make my bed.

I like to make my country crock. It's time for the good news. With Amy. This is awesome. There's an 86-year-old woman in Wisconsin, and she held deputies catch a scammer because she wasn't going to fall for it. She got this email from Geek Squad asking her for a subscription cancellation thing. So there was a whole link.

Well, her little spidey senses went up, and she decided to call the Washington County Sheriff's Office, told them all about it, and they're like, yeah, this does look like a scam. Let's set up a sting operation. So she was down for that. They ended up getting the scammer to fly from California to Chicago and show up at her house. Does this catch a predator or scammer? I'm surprised they were from America. Because mostly scammers aren't.

Yeah, they were from California. Classic. Yeah, classic. But they flew there because they were going to collect $26,500. So it was worth the trip, right? I can't believe they can't. All this is weird. I just don't expect it to be domestic.

They showed up at the door. And it was a trap. Deputies arrested the scammer right away. And just shout out to anybody out there that will participate in anything like this because I'm too scared of retaliation. True. I saw your Instagram story where someone's like, hey, how's your mom? And Amy responds and goes, I think this might be. On Instagram story, I think this is a scammer.

Then you're like, why do you ask? And they're like, well, just checking it. Then Amy's like, she died. And they're like, oh. Yeah, no, I straight up was like, hey. And then they replied. I was like, how are they going to reply to this? They said, hey, how's your mom recently?

Hope she's doing well. And I go, she died in 2014. And they go, sorry for your loss. I never heard you talk about your mother. Just wanted to say hello. I apologize again. But apologize is spelled with an S. Yeah.

That's how you knew it was in America. I know, but I can still keep this going. We can set up our own sting. Don't because you'll fall for it. Somehow you'll still fall for it. I'm not as scared because the- We're not setting up a sting, by the way. But the apologize having an S makes me think they are out of the country,

so I'm not as scared of them showing up to, like, harm me. I feel like lunchbox would misspell apologize. No, no, no, that's what your opinions do. A, P-O-L-O-G-I-Z. Yeah, see, he did it. All right. Take him a minute. Yeah, that's a tough one.

Yeah, anyway, she was 86. She was 86. I'm glad that she had her wits about her to be able to do this. 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.

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to communities thriving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.

And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them.

number one hits. I got you, babe. First time. First song, number one, 1965. I got you, babe. Believe. Do you believe in life after love, after love? Number one, 33 and a half years later, April in 1999.

Dang, that's cool. So our first one, 1965, or last one, 1999. That's pretty cool. Amy? So in 1915, a woman was late to her sister's funeral. When she arrived, the coffin was already halfway buried. but she demanded that her sister be let out of the coffin so that she could just see her one last time.

Like, pull the coffin out of the ground. I need to see my sister one last time. When they opened up the coffin, the woman that was in there supposedly dead was alive and she lived for another 47 years. So the sister just wanting to do a final goodbye to her dead sister ended up saving the dead sister's life because she ended up not being dead but alive.

What country in what year? Has to be like Indonesia. You said the year. 1800s. I said 1915. I definitely was picturing like Massachusetts or something, but. This kind of crap, doesn't happen. Like.

Hold on. I'll tell you where. Like, this can't be. I would say either the deep south or somewhere foreign. It's somewhere from the deep south. Ah, they're dead. Her name was Essie Williams Dunbar, an American woman. Got it.

What state? Who in 1950. Give me with the southern state. Okay. Let me Google that part now. Carry on with your other fun facts and circle back to me. No, we're going to weigh. Oh, you're going to wait.

Yeah, we're going to say. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Please let this be real. I have it, Amy. Do you need it? 1915. You have it where she lived? Yeah.

Where? South Carolina. South Carolina. There we go. I see it now. Represent, baby. So she had an epilepsy attack and then they thought she died because she stopped breathing. She was alive.

That's crazy. Lunchbox. Dogs tell time by scent. So when you get home from work, they're more active before you get home because they're used to your scent and they know, okay, it's starting to wane, starting to wane.

So they know that at that level, that's when dad gets home and they start getting excited. That's crazy. That's pretty cool. That they can get used to how little scent is left of you from the morning and they know it's time for them to be home.

That's how we do with you. Oh, that's cool. You know, I like it. Is that why you guys always excited? We know how long it's been since you've been here. The human body is continually renewing itself. Around 330 billion cells are replaced every single day, which is about 1% of our cells.

Within 80 to 100 days, 30 trillion will have been replenished enough to generate a whole new person. So so many cells in us are dying and so many are replenishing themselves. But as you get older, it just is harder and harder to replenish. But after about 100 days, you're basically a new person cellularly. Pretty crazy. Basically, you die and come back, like the old lady in South Carolina. Morgan? Nutmeg is a hallucinogen.

The spice contains a natural compound that has mind-altering effects if you ingest it in large doses. I have some nutmeg. Sounds like a bit to me. Put it on the wheel. Let's see who goes crazy. The founder of Timex watches. Why do you think he named it Timex? The Watches.

Exactly. That's what I would have thought. The what? Yeah, Time. Timex, Time, watch, time. Yeah. Same. And just put an X on it.

Make it cool. No, his dad love reading Time Magazine and using Kleenex. So if they do TimeX, because his dad read Time Magazine and used Kleenex. Hilarious. That's weird. TimeX. Eddie? So the original name for Google, the engine, was search engine, was back rub.

But they're like, that's not going to work. So they called it Google. But it's kind of crazy if you think about it now, though. Like, let me back rub that. It would be totally normal because it would be normal. Like, how'd you, where'd you learn that? I backrubed it. Sounds so funny.

It would be normal. We'd have normalized it by now. But think about Google. But we get so confused when someone, like, wanted an actual back rub. I think we'd figure that out. I think we could, yeah. What kind of back rub you'd like? Google is not even a word, but now it's, because it's been used so much, that sound is now a word and has a meaning in many different ways.

You know what people say. It's actually a verb, too. Like, Google it. Toby Keith that one time on our show, he wanted to, you said, hey, Toby, how you doing? And he goes, Google me. I mean, so he would have been like, backrub me. Yeah, I'd have been like, yes, sir? You got it, Mr. Keith.

The first ever comic book convention was in New York in 1964. The very first person to buy a ticket to the first ever comic book convention was 16-year-old George R.R. Martin, the author of Game of Thrones. Wow. First ever convention, first ever ticket. Speaking to him, he's written all the Game of Thrones books using a computer that's over 30 years old. It does not have windows. It does an old operating system. And he uses Word Star 80s word processing program.

Probably didn't get distracted with the internet on there. Can't get hacked. I know that you guys is fear all the time. fact Friday. We were going to do this next story as a Tell Me Something Good. Actually, just recorded it this morning. And I'm going to play it for you, just like if it's supposed to happen. However, at the end of it, I'm going to hop back in and tell you why we decided to not run it as it Tell Me Something Good, because what was good is now maybe not so good.

So, uh-oh. This is what I recorded early this morning for a Tell Me Something Good, hit it. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? a Kentucky mom and son won $167 million in the Powerball. The whole thing is Mother's Day comes early, but this is like lifetime day comes early. Awesome. James Shannon Farthing purchased a $2 ticket at a Georgetown gas station,

and he learned of the win when his mom called him with the news. They returned to the store to confirm their win because they had seen the numbers online. They go on on the ticket together. they get the lump sum of 77.3 million. They're going to split that in two. The gas station also gets $37,000. But yeah, their life's way different now. So they're just going to get like $35 million.

When mom calls for sure, you're like, stop it. Stop it. I think mom probably saw the numbers wrong initially. Your mom, you're crazy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So when the gas station gets it, Does the employee get it?

No, no. The owner or the gas station. Oh, I thought it was whoever sold the ticket. That's cool. The gas station. I know. It's like they won the lottery too. That's kind of cool.

The gas station owner? Yeah. It's like they won the four number lottery and they got three of the four numbers and went 37,000. That's not the real lottery. It's $167 million. Yes. So congratulations to them.

The life has changed. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Okay, so you heard that story. And the reason we just didn't run with that by itself is because there's an update. So on the night of Saturday, April 26th, when he learned about his

Powerball winnings, they bought that $2 ticket, $167 million. Everything's good. Look at us. We're now rich. He's been arrested since then. The newly minted lottery winner was at a hotel outside.

When an altercation broke out, he punched somebody. Then the deputy arrested him. He then kicked the deputy in the face who tried to break up the fight. His girlfriend was also on the the fight and was arrested. And now he's facing several charges, including a felony count of battery on a law enforcement

officer. Oh my. Money can't buy you class. Yeah, not yet anyway. Maybe he'd have it long enough. I mean, all he needed to do is just find out he was rich and then he just went. There starts kicking cops. Kicking a punch of cops?

Oh, my gosh. He does have enough money to get a good lawyer. All right. But that's why we didn't put that as a full tell me something good. Dang. Because this story came across after we were about to run that other one. Man, kicking somebody in the, kick in the, kicking somebody while. they're down. I know that's like a cliche, but

I don't think I'd do that. Like, I knocked you down. I'm gonna be a man. If you want to get up, we'll go again. I don't think I'm gonna kick you while you're down. Yeah, don't you to yell? I'm like, come on, get up. Get up. Yeah, I'm not gonna kick you while you're down. It's definitely gonna fight a cop. Anyway, so that's not tell me something good anymore.

Let's tell me something that's kind of sucky. And we hope you get on your feet with all your money. Yes. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something. Last week, a car salesman and new Bedford, Massachusetts donated a brand new minivan to a family whose son is undergoing cancer treatment. Lori Ann Higgins has five kids, been traveling from Boston to another part of the state for her son Dylan, who was diagnosed with cancer. And so one of her friends got online and said, hey, can we all get together, do a little GoFundMe type thing to buy a used car?

That was the idea. However, the owner of Pinnacle Auto Sales NB reached out and said, hey, I saw your deal. How about I just help you out? And so they donate a brand new minivan. Oh, wow. Because they saw, that's a great story. It's from ABC 6. So a big shout out to Pinnacle Auto Sales and Russ, who is the owner there.

And a big shout up to Lori Ann and her family who are going back and forth to fight cancer. It's a good. That was tell me something good. Here's a voice in all we got last night. Morning studio. I just wanted to call and say thank you to Bobby and Michelle for letting me know. about Bitcoin, I take your advice. Put a little money in. And yesterday I sold

it, made a profit of $1,000. So thanks a lot, Bobby. Look yourself. Hey, I'm not a Bitcoin, bro. I was not, I was just telling people what I did. I'm glad that worked, but I'm not recommended anybody buy anything. $1,000. How did you make that? It jumped a ton. It's jumped

so much in the, yeah, yeah, yeah. So congratulations. Don't listen to anything I say when it comes to financial advice. I do not know what I'm talking about. I'm glad that worked out. Next one. Hey there, I just wanted to say, lunchbox will never win the lottery because lunchbox has already won the lottery from when Bobby Bones asked him to ever be on his show and being on it all these years.

Dude, you've already won the lottery like 10. So enjoy that and be thankful. Co-sign. Dumb statement. Potato potato. Yeah, I mean, you won the lottery when I agreed to be on the show. So, I mean, we could look at it either way. Bobby keeps winning another thing. So why can I not keep winning then?

Interesting. I mean. That is a different perspective for sure. One I can't argue with. Nor do I want to. All right, give me the next one. Hi, Bobby, morning studio. I have a morning corny for Amy.

What do you get when you combine an elephant and a fish? Swimming trunks. Got it. Yeah, I would have said a fish and an elephant swimming trunks because that would be the order. Oh, yeah. Isn't that what she said? No, she said elephant and a fish. Yeah, but still it works.

I thought it was going to be Ella fish. It's interesting you mentioned order because I have to tell this joke in order. Okay, here we go, Amy's Morning Corny. Morning Corny. What do you call a really short, psychic who escaped from jail? A small medium at large. That does have to be in order.

That was the Morning Corny. That was a lot, man. Yeah. Yeah, but it's funny. 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.

It's Financial Literacy Month,

and the podcast Eating While Broke is bringing real, conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre, as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything.

But at first, it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail. And what I mean by fell is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to Eating While Broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Except for when he was driving back to his house, he ran a red light. And they had one of those red light cameras, got a picture of the license plate.

He rented it under his name. I was wondering if his checklist was going to come back to get him. His car. Partner? I found a list. Rob Bank, check. Huh. Mask.

I think we got him. All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Bye, everybody. Bobby Bones. Let's go. On the Bobby Bones show now.

Megan Maroney. Megan, really good to see you. Good to see you. Thank you. I was hoping that was the answer. Sometimes it's not met like that. I have said multiple times, even publicly, I think you are this generation's, the songwriter,

like the artist songwriter of today. Thoughts. Thoughts on me claiming, proclaiming you the greatest artist songwriter of today. That's a huge compliment. It is. It's a huge one, yes. And I really appreciate that. What's Kenny been like as a person on tour?

The best ever. Like I would redo last summer every single summer if I could. Give me a Kenny on tour story. Kenny on tour story. Okay, so one time the route, he gets to travel like the king of country he is, me, not so much. So one time we had like a couple days off. The routing was weird and we were stuck in a parking lot in like Ohio or something for a couple days. And he found out that we were having to do that. So he literally flew my crew. He sent his plane to middle nowhere, Ohio, and put us in rooms in Malibu for a couple days just because he knew that we needed the rest, me and my team. Yeah. He's just like so kind and so welcoming and we learned so much from him.

The song with Kenny, you had to be there. How'd that come together? We were on a writer's trip in December of last year, and that was obviously after the sun goes down tour. And I write about things that are important to me. And that tour, I just feel like was a pivotal point of my career and honestly a highlight of my life, to be honest. So I knew I wanted to write a song about it somehow, but we were on the beach. We were down in Florida. And Micah started playing this thing that sounded like a Kenny song. Like, you know, when it opens and it's like, dun dun dun dun, dun, I'm like, that's freaking a Kenny Jesney song. And I had the title you had to be there because that's how it kind of felt. Like when I explained the tour to someone that wasn't there, I'm like, I don't even

know how to explain it, but it was like the best summer in my life. And yeah, we kind of just started writing and then we ended up writing Kenny into the second verse. And it was his Christmas gift from me. We had a trip plan to the island like January 1st. I played New York City for New Year's Eve. We flew straight from there to the island like me and my team and a couple of my friends. And I didn't know what to get him for Christmas because he has everything. You know what I mean? Like my end of tour gift was a scrapbook that I made because he has that, like what do you I'm like Kenny Chesney. Yeah, yeah.

So I was like, I've got it creative here. So we ended up writing this song. I wrote out the lyrics and I gave that to him. Like with a pin. Like you wrote it down on paper. And I said, I was so awkward the first like three hours we were in the island because I knew I was going to like have to show him a song and like, how do you show Kenny Chesney a song that you wrote?

Like that's so embarrassing. Like how do you bring it up? There's got to be the right time to bring it up. Yeah. And like he, if he hated it, I don't like getting shown songs that I don't love, like especially, you know what to me? and you're like, who. How about that song?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know, like, if he hated it, I didn't want him to feel bad because I know he, like, cares about me. I literally prefaced it with, like, if you hate this, this is just, like, from my heart and how I feel about the tour. And, like, I'm so appreciative that you took me on tour.

It doesn't have to, we do not have to do anything with the song. You can literally, like, never show it to anyone. But I wrote out the lyrics for you. And he ended up loving it. And a lot of things I feel like can make you feel jaded in the industry, but having a song with Kenny is something like I was listening to it on the way here

I'm like when his voice comes in I'm like Holy crap You have a favorite Kenny song of all time? I think the one that I've listened to Like if you looked at my Spotify And the data I would say knowing you Is probably one that I've fixated on It's a good one

What Kenny, I often say I'm not a beach Kenny fan But I'm a sad Kenny super fan Because I love sad songs The Kenny does the best I tell Kenny this I love sad Kenny And you know I like you and tequila

probably my favorite Kenny's song in general. 90s Kenny is interesting because that was Cowboy Hat Kenny way back in the day. Are you more of a beach Kenny or a sad Kenny? I don't know. Beach Kenny is hard to be like summertime. You grew up near Asia Beach. In Georgia, you had water. I'm from Arkansas. We never had beaches.

I don't relate. I listen to Kenny on the lake a lot. Yeah, even Lake, I guess, counts. Yeah. The first time I heard summertime, I was on a boat and Lake Widowie. You still working with my BFF Christian Bush? Sure I am. So everybody knows Christian Bush is one half of Sugar Land and I've been lucky enough to know Christian.

We've written a whole bunch of stuff together like comedy stuff together and he's awesome. But at one point you like interned. I was. Yeah. Christian in Atlanta, right? Yeah, my senior year at the University of Georgia, I was a publishing intern. So I was logging all the splits and figuring out how to do that, which was actually helpful. You learned the business.

Yeah, I had to do it for myself. What does he do with you? Like what's you guys as a relationship professionally now? He's my producer. So he's producing the music. Yeah. He did the Kenny song and then all of my music. Isn't he the most positive guy?

Yes. He makes you feel good. And he's so smart. Sometimes he loses me. Like he'll have some crazy philosophical thing and I'm like, you lost me. That's his brother for me sometimes. He branded the same way. Like way smart and you're like, I don't know.

Can you like E.L.I.5? Because I do not understand this. Oh, are you having fun? Yes. The most fun. Like this tour that I'm on, the Am I OK tour has been the most fun of had on the road and I just feel I don't know it's just the best time ever my fans are the best you know you're making it whenever TikToks are going viral of your entrances and I see that of yours

of your like come out and oh yeah yeah where like people like and then the really dramatic yeah moon thing yeah I've seen that a bunch when you're in the middle of it does it feel like you've been blowing up I think when I hear like it's during the shows where I'm like wow a lot has changed because I sing the whole album in the least stream song on the album, which I'm not even sure which one that is, but they sing every single word to every single song, which is when I'm like, oh, wait,

this is more than just whatever it used to be, you know? And I just feel grateful for fans who, I don't know, I guess they feel connected to me because we're all going through the same stuff and they like my songwriting. And as a songwriter, to hear a whole room of people sing every single word is, Like, okay.

Like, I think that's it. I think you're a really good singer. You're a really good performer. But it's all back to the songwriting. I think people really identify with you because of how you write songs and how personal or even specific you get during songs. Were you ever at the beginning, like maybe we shouldn't be so specific? Because that's kind of a new trend to be extremely specific.

Yeah, I'm not even sure it was on purpose. I think I was just like, I didn't know how to write a song. I was just writing, you know? Like I didn't take a class or I guess I just like the music. I like growing up and that kind of has bled into my songwriting. But yeah, I guess I've never been afraid to be specific. What was the first song you learned to play and sing at the same time? Strawberry wine.

And that's monumental when you can do the hands on rhythm and also sing. Yeah, how old were you? I was like 16. How did you get your first guitar? I wouldn't stop crying over my first boyfriend. He broke up with me. My heart was shattered. My dad took me to a guitar center on like Labor Day or something, so they're having the sale.

I picked out one that was not on sale. He didn't realize that until they wiped it off and they got it to the front. And they were like, sorry, sir, this one's not on sale. And I looked at my dad and I said, I've had my heart broken once this week. I think I could handle it again if you don't want to get this. And that's how I ended up with it. And now I've retired it from the road because it's sentimental. and it means a lot to me.

So I don't, because, you know, sometimes you got to perform in the rain and stuff. So I don't take that one on tour anymore, but I do have it still. When you moved to Nashville, what was harder than you expected it to be? Everything. I think, I would say, I guess, just figuring out your groove of, like, people to write with and stuff. Like, because I wrote by myself for the first year, basically. And also kind of, I guess, just keeping after it when nothing's happening. Because for the first, like, two years, I was writing songs every day, going to every single,

possible social event. I could go to every writer's round and not much happened. So I think just like it's hard to stick with something when you don't see the results right away, you know. Well, Megan, it's awesome to see you again. You're killing it. You make the best music. I don't even know what else to say except

I'm super happy for you. I appreciate you. Yeah. There she is. Our friend Megan Maroney. Good job. Good job. The Bobby Bone Show theme song, written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry. You can find his Instagram at Reed Yarberry. Scoobie Steve, executive producer, Ray Mundo, head of production.
