I don't know if your bed does that, but this one does. My sleep number setting is 30. My Sleep IQ score last night was in the 90s.

Welcome to Wednesday show at CMA Day. Welcome. Good morning, everybody. There we go. Man, it's a busy day today. How about this? Let's talk to Kip Moore for a second. So God made. So lunchbox is talking to Kip Moore.

Here. Kip Moore. Good to be here, man. Man, the most real guy in show business right here. That's it. You ain't got nothing to say about it? I know. I mean, like, you said it.

If you think that, then you think that. I do think that. I mean, you got the new album out, man. How's it feel just to be going around and talking about it? You literally have no. I'm playing. I don't know about talking about it. You have no questions, do you?

You have the new album out. How does it feel to go around and talk about it? Like, you literally had no questions. Honestly, you had no questions, did you? I just don't know how to start it. Yeah. Okay. You know?

Hey, so, man, you got music. You'd like to play it, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had it in my car. We had our first freeze the other morning where there was ice on my windshield. And I used the cover of your CD cover to boom, boom, boom, get that ice off my car. So not only do I get to jam to your music, but it got me the ice off my windshield. So thank you. Eddie, what's wrong with your dude, man?

Like, what's wrong with him, man? No! He ain't right. He's not right. The only thing that you've ever said that's made any sense to me, me and you are the only ones that turn a blind eye out of the dog pooping. I'm like, I didn't see it. Well, I'm glad that the one thing of all the things I've ever said in my life,

that is the one thing Kipmore and I see I'd eye on. That's it, too. That's the only thing. Yeah, Kipmore there. So God make. Kian. I'm glad you're here. Now, when you come around and do stuff like this and you put new music out,

do you like to talk about songs or no? Or just, uh, all right. Kipmore, buddy. Oh, that's box. You've been doing this for years is the thing. Well, here's the thing. It just didn't start out well, but it got better. I mean, it sort of got better when I started talking about the ice scraping.

I thought that was pretty interesting. Yeah. Listen, I enjoy your style. It's fun to make fun of. It's entertaining. Yeah, I agree. It's all matters. It's all our show's trying to do is entertain.

We're not trying to be Barbara Walters. Right. Recognizing people doing cool things. It's ICU. This kid named Kyle Berger. He's driving. It's his house. It's like, is that house on fire?

You know, sometimes you see smoke, and you really don't react to it because you just think the smoke is something. burning something. Yes. How many times if you've seen smoke in the woods have been like oh look at that

never really considering that it's a house probably all of us right? Yes. Okay. Just being honest well so he goes

that doesn't look right to me so he goes to the house and the house is on fire he looks inside starts beating on the door nothing. Looks in the window there's a dog in the kennel

because the people were gone when the house caught on fire busts in takes the dog runs the entire kennel out of the house. Save the dog's life. Wow.

Just because he, I don't know that I would have even went to the smoke, right? His name's Kyle Burger. Kyle Burger, as an animal lover and just as someone who appreciates good people, man, that is a, that's a move right there. And I see you. Or as I say, I see you.

The Bobby Bone Show. Big three stories. His producer Raymond in sports star pitcher Roy Holiday was killed in a plane crash at the age of 40. His plane crashed into the Gulf of Mexico. In other news in Seattle last night, a plane's engine caught fire, apparently right after it landed. There's video of it online. Luckily, no injuries. And finally, tonight, the 51st annual CMA Awards at 8.7 Central on ABC.

Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones Show. Eddie, our producer, has a 9-year-old and a 4-year-old. And the 9-year-old's doing the jump across America. Yeah, jump rope for heart. Yeah, apparently jump across America. That's it. And you raise money for heart disease?

Yeah, for the American Heart Association. Man, I've missed every one of those points. No, it's okay. You're right around it. So he asked us through a message here. Hey, guys, I'm doing Jump Road for Heart this year, and I'm going to try to raise money for the American Heart Association. And I just want you guys to sponsor me.

I'd appreciate it very much. Thank you guys. Peace. And he said peace. He wants world peace. He throws out the piece. So cute. Here's mine.

I told you how to cover his whole $100. That a boy, bones. Make sure he gets to it. No, for sure. I got Amy's already, and so this is yours, and that you guys held up to your promise. I think Lunchbox is holding things against you just because he didn't get to have the technology that your son had. He's like, they should go door to door like I did. They shouldn't get on Facebook.

Great point. If Lunchbox would have had Facebook, he would have been on Facebook. Times have changed. Here's the thing. I saw Eddie's kid. He had a chance to ask me. Did he ask me? Nope.

already double-covered it. Why would it? I'm just saying, like, hey, man, like if you're going to be a businessman, you've got to go to your client and say, hey, knock on the doors. That's how you start as an entrepreneur going door to door to door. It's so funny to hear you talk about an entrepreneur. You have not entrepreneur one thing in your life. Man, I have. World's finest chocolate. I went door to door to door. I mean, I was there for hours pounding the pavement, raising money for my little league because I wanted to sell. Like, my mom and saying is, if it was an option to sell on Facebook, you would have. You just didn't have that technology. But my parents refused to do.

take it to work. Like Eddie brought it to work. My parents refused. They said, if you want to sell, you go sell. We will not do it for you. Lunchbox, that was 25 years ago. I understand that, but you're still bringing it to work. Yeah, and he sent you a message. And I felt like that was good. And send you a digital message. It was also a bit for the air. It was also to bring awareness to what it is and other kids doing it. And you want that face to face like, he wants to be begged. No, I want the kid to earn it. Do you a lunchbox? Like here, dad, take this to them and just do it for me. Thank you, Dad. Eddie, there's mine.

Thank you, Bobby. Thank you, Amy. I don't think it's any less work. You're welcome. Lunchbox believes working harder, not smarter. A lot of people agree with me online. Great, and they can work hard, not smart. I believe working smarter as I work hard, but smarter first, harder second.

And I believe this is a very smart play. So tell them, don't mess up. Thank you guys for sponsoring Jr. You're welcome. You're welcome. All across America. Jump that rope. I want to see this shining seat.

All right, time for positivity with Tell Me Something Good. All right, man, I love my story. There's a community who created a Halloween do-over after a Utah team with special needs had a really bad trick-or-trade experience. He went out and they were like, hey, you're too old. But he's in a wheelchair. He isn't. I don't know the proper way to say it. he doesn't act as old as he is.

Okay. It's just taking trouble for saying things. I don't know. Underdeveloped? Yeah. Can I say that? I don't know the word. I think that that's an okay way to say it.

And so once it happened, they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And the neighborhood felt bad. And they were like, do it again. We're sorry. We're sorry. Do it again. Wow. So they're letting him trick-a-treat.

I thought that was awesome. Here we are days and days and days and days after Halloween. Uh-huh. Yeah, what are you having? Okay. So this elementary school in Madison, Wisconsin is doing something pretty cool with kids that are having trouble reading and they've brought in

therapy dogs to sit with them because the therapy dogs are there while they're reading loud or doing work and they let them pet them while they're working and they snuggle up next to them almost like a security blanket which helps keep them calm so that they can focus. I probably knew one of these therapy dogs and I was younger I could

not focus at all but I thought this school is like doing something a little bit different. Thinking outside the box like hey let's bring in therapy dogs to help our kids. I'm safe that therapy dog. That's all I be doing. therapy. Nothing else. Yeah.

Playing with therapy. So, I mean, keep this in mind if you're a school. Like, this could be something cool you could do. Probably much cheaper than what I pay for therapy. I'll get a dog. Hey, doggy, let me tell you my problems. I'm dead on the inside. How you feel?

Rough. All right. It's therapy for, like, them learning and reading and focusing. Oh. Not like sorting through their problems. They're like, wait. Hey, therapy. I can't be vulnerable.

I'm built with walls around me. What do you think? Lunchbox are up. A couple years ago. this woman was at the flea market and she found a painting. She's like, oh, that's a cool painting. Bought it for 20 bucks. And then a couple years later, she sees a little signature says,

Ollie, 1947 in the corner. She goes, let me give this a Google. Types it up in our computer worth $8,000. Yeah, that's crazy. That's crazy. $8,000. That's painting. Are those stories anywhere you find something and you Google it?

Even that show, America Road Show. Yeah. That's the original Pond Stars, by the sure. Like, pawn stars is a little faker. America Road Show on Channel 2 PBS. Yeah, they just show up in like a warehouse and some do with a beard that's way too long

and a coat tail to be like, that's a teapot there's actually worth $10 million. Well, I paid 99 cents for it. That was the show back then. Should we talk to Garth later, Riba later, a little big town. Lots of artists we're talking to because tonight's the CMAs. I'll be presenting.

So fun? Me and a group of people. Yeah, I got a suit. It's got like shiny stuff on it. Like rhinestones? Kind of. Cool, man. Really? But not like, yeah, it'd be a thing.

Can't wait. I'm pretty excited about it. I've been ill, so I've been eating like crazy. So I got to actually get to fit my pants. Oh, great. I know. That's the worst. It is the worst.

Spanx it up. Win in doubt? Spanks. So we've been talking to artists because the CMA Awards are tonight, and they're all going to be there. Here's Josh Turner. And this is the awkward clip I'm told? Yeah, it gets a little awkward.

Who's interviewing him? I'm interviewing him, and in the middle of it, he just starts talking about Morgan number one for no reason. Our head producer, Morgan number one. Yes. Okay, so in the middle of it. Isn't it marry me with kids? Yeah, I think so.

She's drooling already. See that? I see her drooling. Hey, Morgan, calm down, girl. Morgan, you got to... She's undressing me with her eyes. Yeah. Hey, are you undressing him with your eyes?

He said you were. He was like, man, can you talk to quit staring at me? It was either me or you. I don't know. It might have been you. Hey, Morgan number one, did you feel like Josh Turner was that awkward for you? Yes.

He said I was undressing him with my eyes and I was doing no such thing. Honestly, like, he's a good-looking guy, but he's, like, older. And, yeah, it was weird. I think he kind of... Was I undressing you with his eyes? It was weird, though?

Yeah, definitely. Here's the one thing in common with all these interviews we've done all of yesterday and then we're doing today. Yeah. They all end up weird. They're awkward.

All of them. Well. Well done. You know? Till next year. Well, we have more today. We have more today for sure. CMA Awards of tonight.

Bobid Bones Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Indiana. Around 2 a.m. This guy tried to break into a chicken restaurant, climbs in the window in the ventilation duct, and gets stuck for seven hours in the ventilation system,

before police arrive to use the jaws of life to get him. out. Man. There's a point in that where you're like, well, you know what, I screwed up. Just got to cut my losses. They had to use the jaws of life to cut him out of the ventilation system. That is hilarious. It's like die or get help.

How much like that's your bonehead story of the day? Marin Morris was asked by Amy about her first kiss because it was in the bowl of questions. Where was your first kiss? That is a really good one. Good one. I'm embarrassed to say this, but it was at the movie theater seeing my big fat Greek wedding. Okay, that's interesting. Back row?

Middle? I think it was the middle. I don't know what the, yeah, the metaphor was. But it was that movie. What scene in that does he really go in for the kill? I don't know. I don't know. romantic or like the windex scene.

The windex scene. Probably something like that. Yeah. I don't know what that is. Don't know that movie. Oh, y'all never seen my big. I saw it, but I remember thinking, this is stupid. Oh, really?

It was like, that was such a big movie. Yeah, it was big because it was unexpected. Yeah. And the Windex is what they used to spray on their, like, cuts or whatever. And one of the grandmas or aunts said it would fix it. Yeah, Windex fixes everything. Exactly. That's what, yeah, when we grew up, Robitussin.

So, first kiss, Amy. Driveway at my friend Kinsey's house. We went outside, and the guy, I was dating, well, my seventh-grade boyfriend, rollerbladed over. and he was on rollerblades and I wasn't and I don't know he like kissed me I mean I'm pretty sure they like set up for that to happen you know just scat it over it's awkward lunchbox oh summer before summer after fifth grade I played truth or dare over Brooks house and uh Jackson told me to French kiss this girl so I French kissed Kelly I was like what up I think I was in ninth grade oh my goodness that is totally fun and I was playing spin the bottle and it landed on me and then it landed on her and she goes oh do I have to really like out loud and that hurts yeah

I remember it vividly and yeah she had to and it was like this terrible yeah so there's a dog in Lubbock and his name was Bobby Bones and he was at the shelter there and so I was like hey somebody adopt this dog I'll pay for the fees and I don't know

what happened because they weren't open yesterday so I know someone took him home for a home visit. Uh-huh. So I couldn't get a hold of them. So I was like, okay, cool. I felt like we're in a good spot there. And I said, hey, if you name the dog Bobby Bones, I'll put it up on the website.

And it just one at a time. I can't do 100 at a time. But there's one at Toledo that I put up on my Instagram and Facebook. But Mr. Bobby Bones, the dog's name's Bobby Bones. He's a pit bull terrier mixed breed. And he's at the Lucas County Canine Care in Toledo, Ohio. And if someone would adopt him, that would be awesome. You can see it on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones.

Like four years old, there's a video. He's in a Santa hat, so he's got to be amazing. Love it. So that's the deal. I would love to adopt out 100 Bobby Bones dogs over the next year. Like, that would be cool, right? It would get to the point where, like, dogs are going to be to park and you say, Bobby. And they all come running.

But if you're in Toledo or in the Ohio area, go to my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones, and look at this. And if you can adopt them, I would love for you to. And people are like, you're going to get all these dogs adopted to bad places. No, no, no, that's not how it works. They get vetted. Like, you don't just go get to get a dog. Yeah. So I'm not worried about that.

Okay. That thought never crossed my mind. I'm glad it didn't because a lot of listeners it did. I posted Instagram with me spray tanning yesterday. Because they had to be like they're on TV tonight. Man, people have lots of thoughts about that. Still, don't they know by now? Men shouldn't be spray tanning.

Oh, boy. The problem is I don't get out in the sun ever. So I'm not going to be, you know, up on TV in these lights looking like Casper the Friendly Ghost. Yeah, you're not. So people need to get over it. You know, people know what that is. Like, you can always tell the age people by their references. You know, when people are like, you know, they're sure not the mamba's and the popas.

I'm like, okay, they're older. Now all my references are Creed and Casper, the Friendly Ghost. Dang. I know. Well, it would be a hip way to say it. Edward Cullen? Oh, no. No.

No. No. Edward Cullen is old school. Oh, really? Okay. Well, I don't know. What are the cool kids say? We're talking to Luke Combs in a second? Amy here. Who talked to Luke Combs yesterday? Me. Lunchbox. He did tongue twisters with him?

Yep. So the CMAs are tonight. I will be presenting. Hopefully the camera's on me. I will be giving the fists of the fans. Meaning as I'm up there on stage. Hopefully I remember. It's always like in my ear. Do this, do this. But I haven't forgot. Never yet. Hopefully I give the fist of the fans. Yeah. And, yeah, it'll be tonight. I hope everybody watches at 8, Eastern, 7, Central.

CMAids of tonight and lunchbox was talking to Luke Combs. Give me this one right here. Can you can a can as a can or can, can, can, can't, and then how about this last one? When a doctor, doctor is a doctor, does the doctor doing the doctoring, doctor as the doctor being doctored wants to be doctored? Or does the doctor doing the doctoring doctor as he wants to doctor it? Those are just annoying. They're not even tongue twisters. He's just saying the word doctor over and over again.

Wow, not bad. Luke Combs. I mean, one year ago, you had no idea who he was. Now he'll be presenting on the CMA Awards. Got a number one song. I mean, this dude's a machine. Two number one songs. Oh, well.

So, hey, just facts. I don't know. He had a number one song. And some people sort of knew who he was. Not a year ago. Some people did, yeah. When she heard about my newfound luck on that if and I. And it's crazy how.

She picked up on the first ring when I gave her a call. Loose Club Rapple won a used for a winner and three free passes. For me and two of my buddies to play. She hears that song is upset, the ex-feature mother-in-law. I always wonder what she's driving in her car.

I'm going to think I'm going to put her on the country station. Wait, what the? Luke's on there? Let me hear his song. He used to date my girl. Oh, oh, oh. That's what I picture with that one. Yeah.

You're ready for confession time? Yes, we love confessions. The 50th, I was so relaxed because I knew we wouldn't win. They called your name. I know. And now I'm nervous for this one. Yeah. And what else?

Oh, okay, so I was going to ask you, since you're the reigning entertainer of the year. People have been calling me the defending champion today, actually. But let's just scratch that whole award and give it to the best-smelling artist. Do you know who it would be out of all of y'all? No. Who smells? You don't know. That list, you don't know who smells the best?

No, I don't smell guys. I'm sorry. Keith Irvin. He does? Yes. I'll have to smell him next time. Oh, when he walks into a room, you know he's entered. Really?

That must be what it is. I just thought he was a great guitar player, but something happens to me, too. When he walks in the room, I'm like, oh, what is that? Yeah, you're like, yes, it's Keithy has a smell about him. I've never been more uncomfortable about talking about anything than that right there. Okay, trust me. When you see him at the CMAs, smell him. I will.

Just walk by him and casually give the old. Yeah, got it. Okay. Well, thank you for coming by and talk with us. And obviously, we're going to talk to you. on Thursday, too. Thank you. This whole interview has just went to

I love it. Wait, what? Gart's awesome. Oh, man. Yeah. Garth's awesome. He's awesome. He's totally awesome.

And Keith smells awesome. That's true, too. All true. At the CMT Awards, Keith walked by Amy and my table. And it was probably seven feet away, and he was like, hey, well, he walked right by,

and he left this trail of just amazement in my nose. Amazement crawled up my nose. And I was like, I don't even know. And I was watching all the girls watch Keith Urban. And they're all just like, every one of them, I watch their mouths. They were like, I will leave my husband for him. They all said that at the same time.

It was crazy. So a quick backstory. Amy and I have been together for 12 years, 13 years? 12-ish. And so the last pretty much five of that, Amy's been in the adoption process. Her and her husband tried to have kids unsuccessfully, tried to adopt domestically, tried to adopt domestically and they kept moving because of his Air Force job. And so they had to restart every time.

And she went on a mission trip to Haiti and a woman's conference. And she met these kids. And she was like, I'm going to adopt these kids. And it's been almost five years. And yesterday was a big day because it was paperwork day. What exactly was happening yesterday? Like, break it down for us in layman's terms. Like yesterday the day was to do what.

Okay, well, you won't understand what these words mean, but I'll tell it to you. Our paperwork has been in parquet, which is a stage in the parquet. process. It was supposed to exit parquet yesterday and move to Minister of Interior. Okay, that was yesterday. Boom, boom. Yep, yeah. And by the way, Kristen from George is on the phone. You're wondering about this, too, right? Absolutely. Because yesterday's a big day. I was like, and what's going to? Yeah. So, Kristen's here. Kristen, what do you want to know?

Um, I was curious of, like everybody else, of exactly what happened. If you have, if they're going be able to get here before Christmas and any other details you got. Okay. And we need details. So it happened yesterday? Okay. So I thought I would hear yesterday like, hey, what up? Your paperwork's now in M-O-I.

Well, evidently, whoever was supposed to be working yesterday at Parque, like, wasn't at work. At least that's the text message I received. But he should be there today. He or she, I don't really know. So it didn't happen. Well, I mean, it could still happen like today or tomorrow. I know. So then.

Amy, I know. I'm just going to speak honestly. from the heart. I'm a single guy. I got no kids. I got no debt. I got a good job. Can I just pay somebody off?

No. Absolutely not. I'll be happy to do it. I just need everybody that works at Ministry of Interior or whatever to show up for work today. If you're listening. But nothing happened yesterday. Well, yeah, but I mean it could still happen today. Here's that 50.

Tell them to get those kids here. So the truth is that my ex-girlfriend, I are really. good friend. She's probably still my best friend. Like her and Amy, it's like, it's weird. I know we broke up and, but she tweeted yesterday, I thought I ordered a black Uber, like a nice Uber select to get to this award show and instead I got a white minivan. So she tweeted that. Thought I ordered an Uber black and accidentally ordered a white minivan. So I said, oh, kind of like your last relationship. Oh, where she thought she was getting something really awesome and then She got a white minivan.

I like it. Yeah. I like. Some listeners were like just chopping me down. Saying what? Yeah. Oh, it's so insensitive. But really I just did that because like we're in a good.

No, we're not in a good place because there's pain. Mm-hmm. But there's no animal. None. Yeah. Like there's nothing. And that was an insult to you. Yes.

I was making fun of myself. Yeah. She was like, I thought I ordered an Uber black because she was going to an award show and she wanted to go on a fancy car and said you got a white minivan. So I put, sounds like you got a white minivan van. So I put. sounds like your last relationship. I was getting crushed. I think it's a good joke.

I thought it's great. I read it last night on the couch. I read it three times because I laughed so much. And I was like, I bet people are mad at him. They were. I was getting nailed, man. But that's okay. I hope to be the villain in this.

If people want to villainize somebody, they should villainize me. They should. Just because I hate, you know. Yeah, you take it. I take it. I take it. Here's a little Lindsay L here. This is called Criminal.

Download this song. Lindsay L. Criminal. I got to close my eyes. Why pretend I'm going to sleep, but I know damn well I'm going to keep laying you right awake, waiting for the breath you take to come back. I can relax. I'm a tiger facing my cage. Cockp, I control gauge, feeling like a ton of crush.

You're a rush. You're the habit I can never get enough. There you go, Lindsay L. Criminal. Download that one. Support a strong female artist is what I say. Fantastic one. Yeah. You know what kind of my rules are.

I will stream, because I have eye heart all access. I'll stream if I'm kind of into something. But if I want to show the artist's appreciation, I'll download it. So I stream 90% of stuff, and then the ones I really like I download. Because I feel like I kind of owe it. I'm going to listen to it over and over again. I like the artist to make a little bit money. That's my thing.

Some people don't. I mean, it's always up to you guys. But also we'll pay for Amy's kids to come over here, and she won't have any of that either. No, because it's not the way things, we're going to be law-abiding citizens. I'm known as a bad boy. Brad Paisley talks about the CMAs tonight. What's fun about this is the familiarity and the sort of template that we have, where we know who we are, and so do you, in the sense that we get to go out there with some expectation. And I think that can be your friend as somebody trying to,

have some comedy and some timing. You're expecting something from us, and I like that. I like that we go out there. We can now make fun of ourselves, and you know the context of it, and that's to some degree a large part of what we do. I'm looking forward to tonight. Amy and I are sitting in the

second row. It's unbelievable how good our... Like, I posted on my Instagram, you go look at Mr. Bobby Bones. We're literally in the second row behind Tim and Faith. Did they... They mean to put Bobby Jones up there? Probably. Probably. For the wrong person up there?

We're in the second row. Mr. Bobby Bones on Instagram. Casey in 4City, Arkansas. Hey, how are y'all? What's happening? I know where you live. You do? Yeah, you pass it on my interstate, huh?

Yes, actually, I live in Forest City, but my kids all go to school. It's called Palestine Wheatley, which is about 10 miles up the road. So that's where you are coming to play, and we're so excited. My husband was so excited to tell me, because he knew I knew that which you were from. And he told me, and I was geeking out.

You guys any good? We're 8 and 2 this year. I don't care about that. You any good? Yes, we're good. Huh? Got some major receivers. Ah!

Now, well, you know, I will not be there, sadly. I would love to be there, but I have a stand-up comedy show in Kentucky. Right. But hopefully we beat the crap out of you. Just. Thanks for that. But listen, we're the true underdogs. We didn't have a team last year.

That's right. So, thank you for calling, but I hope you listen. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Thanks for that. Hey. Wait, wait. Don't hang up.

All right. Casey, I hope you lose. Thank you for calling, though. Bye. I appreciate you. Bye. I love her laugh. Yeah, she's fun. She's like, uh-huh.

Way to let her down. So finally a listener gets a play. I thought you're always supposed to have one of those ready. I know I was. Go ahead. I messed up. I messed up. I messed up.

I messed up for the first time of my life, the first time in this show. You did talk to a little big town yesterday. I'd like to hear this. I can tell you're still married because you look good. You look well. Kimberly commenting on your clothes. Totally. Yeah.

Yeah, she basically said you used to look like crap. No, you do when your wife doesn't dress you. You will admit that, though. Yeah, I do. Okay. You look well kept. You all nice and dressed nicely. See.

Remember when you used to not dress? Remember when you used to wear? That was before you dress shoes. Sorry, you were saying before I was married, I looked like crap. No, I don't say that. You just look a little bit different. Say, hey, so. It's a good thing.

Okay, so she's saying, so what? Marriage looks good on you, buddy. Yeah, it looks good on you. Yeah. Guess what? I'm wearing tomorrow. to sound check. Tell me.

Wait, wait. To sound check, you wear something special to sound check? You planned your sound check outfit? I did. And you know what it is? What? Tell me.

It's a nod to the raging idiots. Oh. So, wow. She's nodding to our band. What would it be? I don't know. Maybe a track suit.

Oh, maybe. Oh, that makes sense. I'm just saying. I know what you're talking about. I see you raging idiots and I raise you. But what good does it do to sound check? because we can't see it at sound checks

or how are we going to know? Oh, there'll be, you know she's going to post a picture. I'll post a picture and tag y'all. Whatever you're doing, I hope you win every award. I voted for you. I love you guys. And you're looking very sharp for than ever, man. Yeah, thank you guys.

Every girl's crazy about a shop dress man. They are really the nicest people. Like all that, you know, da-da-da, is that real or not? It's all real and they're awesome. She's got to be wearing the tracks. suit, right? Totally. Yeah, Karen Farr,

Chowler. But let's watch our Instagram later today. If she asked for raging idiots, you can have it. There she goes. Here we go. This is Namaste from the Raging Idiots.

Download this jam right here is us. Bringing the heat. 7.30 in the morning. In the suit that I was born in. Girl, why are you laughing at me? Come on, baby. With my khakis. I'm running late.

So a woman and her husband have done this flight together. They're flying across the country. He's asleep. And, you know, husband and wife, you can do whatever you want to to each other, I guess. Like, got your phone. He takes his thumb and puts it on his phone and opens up his phone. You know. While he's sleeping on the plane.

Right. Okay. So then she gets in his taxi and realize he's cheating on her. Uh-oh. And then she starts screaming and they have to land the plane. Like, they have to divert the plane because she goes absolutely bonkers. Wow. So.

Oh, my gosh. There are just many layers to this. is it okay for her to take his thumb and get into the phone, first of all? No? No. Yeah, it's fine. You say it's fine? Of course.

You should have trust. Exactly. That's why you shouldn't do that. And then if you don't trust, get the other person's finger and open their phone. Right, which level of trust is it? If you've got trust, you don't do the thumb thing out of respect. Or if you've got trust, you do the thumb thing because you trust each other, so you should just be able to use the thumb for whatever. All I'm knowing is that you ain't trust to somebody if you're thumbing them.

You know what I mean? Yeah. There's no big pile of trust there if you're putting the old thumb on them. So what do you think? I don't think you'd do that. I think you have to say, hey, I'd like to see in your phone. I don't trust you. Dang.

She got them and she threw a fit. They had to land the plane. I'd be so ticked. Yes, you're just trying to get somewhere and she's screaming. They have an app now that tells you if the McDonald's ice cream machine is working or not. Is it common that it's broke? I think it's more common than we want because everybody loves it.

People just go, you know, I'm going to tell you, one of the, Whenever I'm not fully well, I don't eat good. I'm like, I don't feel good, so I might as well just put things in my body that make me feel good temporarily. Yeah, you like popsicles. Oh, I had, so I went to Sonic, and I double-fisted some ice creams. Oh, boy. And I went to Sonic, and I got two ice cream cones and a cherry lime made. And those ice, they're 99 cents, something like that.

And it may be the best 99 cents you can spend. I was thinking of things you can buy for 99 cents, and I don't think anything beats the Sonic straight-up vanilla ice cream cone. I'm with you. It was so much money in the bank. So that was the McDonald's one, but I was just thinking because I went to the drive-thru. It was like, I'll take it. And they have the card swiper, which I feel bad for because they don't give you a tip line on the credit card swiper. They should.

They should. They absolutely should. That's a ticket. Yeah. They should because I don't have any cash. I don't carry cash on me. And so there I was. And then the girl knew since that's why my credit card probably was going to tip her. So she didn't even like hang around for me to be like, because I've come back before.

I've went back home and got tip money. But I didn't even know she was because she was like, here's your day. ran away. I was like, no, I want to tip you lots. Yeah, they're used to people just going, oh well. Yeah, I know. What would be the worst spoiler for you if someone said, I'm going to spoil this TV show of all the shows, Amy? Someone said, I'm giving you the ending too bad. Right now, Walking Dead. Yeah. So a Michigan police department, they're telling all these people they're arresting at the football games. If you get arrested and we put you in, we put you in, we're ending, spoiling stranger things too. Oh my gosh. Because they've put up things all in the jail cell

about the endings and they're like, don't go and go because you'll see what happens. That's so funny. So I watch, if you go to my Insta story, like, follow me on Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones, but my Insta story, you'll see me at like 1 o'clock this morning watching Stranger Things because I just couldn't sleep. I'm four all the way through. Yeah. Guys, I just not there yet.

Nothing yet. I'm going to watch it all because I have to. And I'm not being Mr. Cool Guy because I want to love it. There's just that first episode that gets you thinking and it never goes back to visit what happened. and I'm like, I want to get to that point. That's what makes me want to watch. I want to see about the girl in the first episode.

That's what I'm talking about. Yeah. So, that's the first episode. That's the only reason I'm watching still. Yeah. Anyway, that was that. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show.

You're a little stepdad's on there. Arkansas Keith. Hey, buddy. Hey, what are you doing? Yeah, I was doing the radio show. I thought we talked Mountain Pine football. Because we're in the playoffs. Like, my high school couldn't even put a table.

couldn't even put a team together last year. We didn't have enough players. And so this year won the playoffs. And you're going to go to Palestine, right? Well, I'm not making that journey. Oh, you're not going to the game? But I tell you what, I talk to Coach Lee Sherty, and he thinks we're going to take those guys out,

and then we're going to play Hector. Well, one at a time, my friend. One at a time, one at a time. I'm just looking where it's at, you know, and I'm saying we're going to Hector to play Hector, and I'll be there at Hector for sure. So are you hunting this morning or no? No, I'm not, honey.

What are you doing this morning? Take care of a little business this morning. I got mom up to the doctor for her checkup and those kind of things. And just taking care of business called Saturday morning in the year season. You know how that is around here. Yeah, it's a holiday. It is a holiday. So are you going to watch the CMA Awards tonight?

Pardon me? The CMA Awards. Do you know what they are? Yeah, I'll watch you tonight. You're going to be on it, right? I am going to be on it. Yeah, I always wonder if, like, you pay, attention to that stuff. Yeah, I'll probably be watching it tonight. Okay, I'll be...

I'm saying Keith Irving. This man, I don't know. Yeah, I'm curious to know. Like, who do you like? Because you listen to the show, but obviously, like, my stepdad, because I guess we started 13 or so, and we really started, like, hanging out a lot. Like, and it was classic rock. He is the reason that I know everything about the 60s and 70s. Like, everything. Like, this is, he's the reason. But I wonder if when you listen to the show now, like, who are the artists that you like?

You're 60 now, right? Yeah, 61. Yeah, who do you like whenever you hear this show like that comes on? Luke Bryan, and, I don't know, you know, those are those chicks that sing the song, I got a girl crush. You know, you never know what's going to get me anymore. A little big town. Yeah, I was just all over that, you know.

And I was crazy, but I loved it, you know. And I think Keith Irma, I like him, you know, because he's a good guitarist and good guy too, you know. So, yeah, I would say he's my favorite probably. Keith Urban is? He's got my name, too. That's true. That's true.

All right, well, go Mountain Pine, right? Hey, go Devils all the way. And, yeah, that's, it's cool. Well, good, I hope we win. He texted me after the game and lets me know. Hey, the kid, so the kid, remember the kid, the story of the kid who didn't live in the city, but played from him. He lived actually across the street from the line of the school.

He lived right on the opposite. side, on the Lake Hampton side. Literally across the street from the school line. From the school line. And he actually married his girlfriend, and they live with the Daniels now. I mean, with the, not the Daniels, I'm sorry, Walker's, they live with the Walkers.

So he didn't even move, like, across the new town. They'll cross the street. Isn't that crazy? I remember Derek Walker, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember everybody. He married Derek Walker's daughter. I got to like 40 kids.

What do you want from me? I know everybody. You know what I mean? So, you know, that's all, that's been all the hype. And I wish people could just say, hey, Mountain Pineser, have a football team last year, and that was what they've done, you know. But all the hype is about thinking we're illegal. But he's not an illegal player.

He can play. You know, AAA said you can play, man. He's playing. There is. Arkansas, Keith. I guess I'll talk to you soon. Talk to you at least Saturday here. Yeah, I'll let you know it goes.

All right, there's that. Excuse me. Up late. Yeah, a little thing. and it's clearing out for the most part. Let me drink water real quick, sorry. That's Bobby's Drink Water song. Yeah.

I just said, I've had like this thing. So last night, I was talking to Amy. And, man, sorry. I, hold on. Now that he's going to drink tea. Oh, man. I saw like 30 minutes, though. So last night, Amy and I were talking.

and it hasn't been a very good last few months for me but it's been worse for other people but it hasn't been a very good last few months for me but the Las Vegas stuff still shakes me like I'm still not over it and I've been going to therapy I have some real real real internal problems with that and so that and my dog's dying

and that I have a dog 14 years longest relationship I've ever had my life with anything any living creature my dog's dying it's terminal ill I had to break up my girlfriend which is awful, it stinks. And she's awesome and she's the best. And for reasons that shouldn't have happened. And I had hinted to Amy, there was something else that was going on that I wasn't going to say yet.

And finally, I wrote about it and I sent it to Amy last night. And you can't say what it is. Okay. But were you shocked? Yeah. I really was. I mean. So then she FaceTimes me.

Totally. And we start talking. And Amy's in like full Zick cream. And I'm like, you're like, full Zick cream. And I'm like sick. We probably talked for like an hour and it was just like ball fest. Like boo. But how did you know I was really crying?

Because I kept trying to play it off. Okay. So, yes, he kept taking his glasses off and wiping his eyes. I was just like, oh, is he crying? Because Bobby's not one to really want to show that. And he had just gotten a spray tan. And I guess he got his face sprayed. And I...

Oh, great. This is where, you know, I want to find laughter in our moment because it really was. I didn't want to point it out to you at the time because we were just like in a moment. But I legit, how I found out you were crying the first time was the tears were rolling down your face. And it would be like a white streak where the bronzer would like go like. So we had like these like a tan face. But then where the tears were going, it was like pale skin. Interesting.

Well, we talked for about an hour last night and I'm happy to my friend. Yeah, same year. I want Okay, I'm so many things about it But for one, yes, I was shocked But I'm happy you're saying I sent her the first chapter of my book Where I wrote something that was really, really something

It's all on there It will be Wow But I was like, I have to write it I have to write this Like the paragraph before he even got to it The thought popped in my mind What?

Like is this about to happen? But anyway I'm glad you're talking to someone like a therapist that knows because like I feel like when I'm talking to you I don't really even know what to say like I can't relate to a lot of those things that you're going through right now

so I'm thankful you have someone that can help guide you plus you're so different you're way more different than me and how you handle things and your whole method of locking things in a box and never dealing with them and not wanting to be like not wanting to be vulnerable and I like that you're able to

be that last night I'm trying to be. I'd be Johnny Cool guy. I was like, hey, ha, ha. But it helps. I'm taking my glasses off and just buy my eyes. I didn't realize that my makeup's coming off. So now he's making some of the jokes.

But it does help us, and even sharing now, like with the room and the guys and the listeners, help us better understand exactly where you are. And it's a painful place. And I hate that you will continuously feel like you have to say, I know other people are going through more difficult things. Because it doesn't matter. It's all relative to what you have going. on like you happen to be dealing with a lot right now and that's okay it doesn't matter what if other people have it worse or better or whatever it's okay to try to work on what's going on with

you yeah not not the best time personally but as i always say weaker people have gone through much harder things and that'd be me next thing you know i'm faking it even better he won't even know Yeah, it was pretty Amby's in full Zit cream Like Zit spots all over her face Just bawling Well yeah, because CMAs for tonight, you know? I try to like guess where a pimple might

Pop up And that's why I ended up with dots I was like, ooh, it looks like when might come right there I better go ahead and zap it Well, I would just sound very happy that you're my friend Oh, well thank you I appreciate that Ditto

Same Anybody want to cry with me tonight Well, whenever you're ready to share it with me man I'll cry with you I face-timed Eddie and he's like, oh, the car dealership, it's about something else. They don't know what I wrote in the book. I have no idea.

No clue. Okay. Are you going to share with them? No, only when the book comes out. What? I can't talk. Is there anything I can relate with you, like, with this? Like, is there anything I've gone through in my life that I can read?

I don't know what you've got through in your life? That's not true. You know everything about me. You know everything about me. I'm good. Right now, y'all, I think the most important thing, my main concern is you and your dog. Like, that's, I mean, there's other things for sure.

sure, but I don't. Took him me get blood work yesterday. He's down like two and a half pounds a small dog anyway. I'm watching them

just kind of melt away. It sucks. It sucks. Okay. We'll do something stupid next. Coming up. The barba bon show. Restaurant, it's a nude restaurant.

The last thing I want to do is eat naked. I don't even want to eat naked in my house. Like right when you get there you're supposed to just, you know how there's like a coat check? I guess they got like a clothes check

and you take off all your clothes. And I'm fine. You want to wear no clothes. I don't want to eat naked. Not even in front of people, even alone. I don't want to have breadcrumbs in my pee, you know? Yeah, that's a good point. It's not.

That'll be good. Okay, yeah. Yeah. I don't even eat in my bed, really. No, it's kind of gross. Yeah, because, yeah. So they've opened up this new restaurant. It's called O Natural.

Oh. Oh. I wonder how long that it'll last. Like, think about dropping a hot steak, right, in your stuff. Oh. Yeah. Hey, so Amy's husband got a compliment at the gym. Yeah.

And what they say to him? A guy came up. him and asked him about his bicep workout. He wanted to know all the details. Like, I see what you're doing. Can you show me exactly what you do? And I guess my husband said that is the ultimate compliment.

Like he was so pumped to tell me about this. Like, I'm thinking, huh, that's interesting. That's the ultimate compliment because he does work on his biceps and I like, I think he really like the fact that a stranger, a guy as a gym, came up to him and wanted to know his routine. What would be the ultimate

compliment for you guys? It doesn't be physical. anything at all. Someone comes up and says something to you. Yeah. What's the ultimate compliment? Lunchbox? You look like a stud. Has that ever been said to you?

Yeah. I think it's pretty nice when people, like, just talk about how hot I am. Okay. Eddie? You are so smart. I'm pretty, I want them to say, like, you are so smart. Like, you impressed me with the things that you say. I got the ultimate compliment yesterday.

What was it? Well, and it wasn't, it was, they were quoting things I'd said on the show. Listen, I was on drugs yesterday, a bunch. And when did I say the words Punch you in the pecker? We were playing a game and I was like, that game called Punch You in the Pecker? I don't know, people were quoting funny things the same

It was a whole text that had of funny things I said. I was like, this is a good, this is... So the ultimate compliment for you is when someone says you're funny. Yeah, and quotes me, because I don't remember saying this stuff and I was like, hey, that is funny. Who said that you did? And I was like, oh, I was on tons of cold medicine. And so another one was brawes for me ma'all.

What game? What was that saying? Gosh, I don't remember any of these. I think we're all in drugs. Oh, boy. I took that Sudafed D, which is like the kind you can't get unless you're trying to make meth. Yeah, you have to show your idea to get it. Yeah, so.

So it's powerful or what? Well, I tried to make meth. It didn't work. Oh, boy. No, you didn't. I put it on Breaking Bad. I was like, well, went in Rome. Tried to cook it up.

It didn't work. So apparently it's supposed to take it at night, really. It's supposed to take it every 12 hours, but I took it and it kept me up all night. Oh, no. Try to watch Stranger Things. Still not into it. I'm not into it. Give it a few more episodes.

I'll give it a four already. Maybe it's the drugs. The CMAs are tonight. I'll be there. I'll be presenting, which I'm very excited about. And you're going to give a fist for the fans. Yeah, I will.

If you want to annoy people and you want to know too much about it if you're watching tonight, and I encourage you to watch. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood have hosted ten times together, 10 years in a row. They're facts.

You can be like, oh, by the way, you know, they've been doing this 10 years. Yeah, people like that. So George Straits won the most CMAs ever with 23. Miranda Lambert's won the most for a female with 12. Here's the difference

between song of the year and single of the year. Oh, yes, please. I always struggle with this. Song of the year is a songwriter award. So it's who wrote the song. Okay. Like, I believe Lauren McKenna was one

at the last two years, like humble and kind, girl crush. Yeah, okay. Got it. That's song, songwriter of the year. Single of the year is like the singer and the producer, like how they make it sound. Got it.

Like the radio. Think of radio. Single. Oh, that's smart. Song, songwriter, single radio. The youngest person to ever win entertainer of the year was Taylor Swift at 19. Wow. Isn't that amazing?

Wow. Impressive. She's amazing. By the way, they leaked some of her list of her song titles. So she's like, ah, screw it. She put it all out there. And the art. Do you see it?

Yeah, on her Instagram. And then one of the songs has Ed Sheer in and Future on it. Oh, cool. It's, yeah. I don't like features, but whatever. You don't? Future or Features? Now's what rappers do.

I really don't care. But rappers would be like, I did a whole record. No features. Number one. That means you didn't get bad rap on there with you. Yeah. Like, I don't think Cardaby had any features on her last record.

Oh. Do you even know that is? Yeah. You've told me about her. I know if you were to sing me some of her stuff. I wouldn't because they're dirty. The CMAs have been held in Nashville every year except for 2005 when it was in New York. All right.

Why? I don't know. What happened in 2005? Hopefully when you're giving those fun facts, nobody asks you why. Exactly. I don't know. Let's ask me. I just read the fun facts.

And I change the subject. They're like, why? Oh, my stomach hurt. Got her to the bathroom. Get out of it. Hey, it's our buddy Lauren Elena's birthday. Yeah, how old is she? Like, 23.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, man. It's wrong with her. And awesome. So young. Like, it's not fair. And so good. So good.

Such a talent. So good. So good. So happy birthday, Lauren Elena. She's awesome. Hmm, what else? Because it's just like, I have everybody talking to everybody. Here's Amy and Reba talking to each other.

which I got to be honest, Amy. What? It gets no cooler than Reba. Reba and Garth. Like, you got the cool ones. I was nervous. Were you? Yeah, because I had no idea I was going to be talking to Reba or Garth and then boom, they both came.

And I just was like, okay, don't mess up because that's typically what I do. No, you don't. You're just human. But here's the thing, Reba and Garth and Dolly, dolly is not in these clubs, but I'm telling you, there's a reason why they're so monstrous. Not only are they super talented. But they're just warm and they make you feel like you're important. Mm-hmm.

And here's Amy and Riba. I feel like I saw you walk up and, like, instantly in my head, and I'm sure people do this all the time. But for me, it looks like throwback to where I'm like, I see you, like, walking in with your cowgirl boots and your power walk. And I'm like, there's your one chance fancy. Don't let me down. Here's your one chance fancy.

Don't let me down. My sister and I used to jam to some Riba. Oh, really? That's a night that the lights went out in Georgia. Yes. Fun songs. Amy's doing an entire interview with Reba, just sing Reba songs. I don't know.

I'm so dumb. Well, both of them have the other. As a child, I don't think I understood the lyrics to either of them. But, you know, when you grow up, you're like, huh. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, well, I just say with Fancy, it's a rags to riches. It's kind of like Cinderella, but not that bad.

No, Fancy's bad. Cinderella was a nice little fairy tale. Yes, I get it. Yeah, but it's true life. It's, yes. She had to get a job. Yeah, got to do what you got to do. What?

Yeah, I don't know. I got to what you got to do. She was like a prostitute. A young one. Stop. You can tell him. Maybe he's like, got to do what you got to do. I get it, Reef is the one that said she needed a job.

And I was like, okay. Let's take it one more. I don't know. We are rooting for you. Oh, thank you very much. That's very sweet. And for getting it right when you announce entertainer of the year. The last thing you want to do, stay the wrong name.

Yeah. Call out Vince Gill. That would be bad. That would be fun. He's not even nominated. Not you not, but it'd get everybody's attention. That would. Yeah.

Okay, well, Reba, thank you for coming by. Good to see you. Yes. Well, it's mostly Amy singing to Reba here. So cute. So cute. And when you get through with this jacket, I want it, all right? Okay.

Love it. Yeah. I can't fit into it, but I love it. What? Are you kidding? You could. Okay, I'm just kidding. I don't have people.

I was going to have them send you my jacket, but really it just be me. People. I'll drop it off. Give me your address. Just kidding. I'll find some people to get people. There you go. She didn't give me her address.

by the way. That was my way to try to get it, but she didn't want to meet up. How'd you feel about that, listening back? Not good. I mean, if you can tell with both Garth and Reba, I'm like talking 90 to nothing. Not with everyone you interviewed for sure. Really? Yeah.

Oh, I feel like with them I sped up even more. Probably because you're nervous, because they're the awesomest. Yes, and it's not because they made me feel uncomfortable. I was just like, I don't even know what to say to you right now, but then also at the same time, like, you're so awesome and kind. Like, Reba was out to walk off. She's like, let's get a picture. Let's do Boomerang. I'm like, what?

You're so busy. You don't have time. Like, some artists. And then some of the artists that like have happy hit, they're like, I don't have time for you. Yeah. Like, right when the interview was done, they were like, peace. It's so weird. And then Reba's like, hanging out.

Garth's like seeing Amy in the hallway. Yeah. Like, stop. It's, there's just a difference in really successful people. And the really big artists, 90% of them get them, like, 20, 30 minutes early. Like, I have to talk about super 30 hits. Like, yeah, it's a thing. Success is, it's showing up and eyeball to eyeball.

How do you feel about us representing you? In which capacity? Well, you know, you just played these clips the last two days. And, you know, Lunchbox and I would like to know how you, you just asked me how I felt about it. How do you feel about us? I feel good. Oh, I feel so good.

That's you sort of make, are you deflecting? You guys did exactly what you do. I would never set you guys out and go, I'm needing something. something really, like you did a great job at doing you guys. But that's why the show works, because we're not radio people. I'm the only one that's the radio person. Right?

And I'm like, I don't even have a good voice. It's talked to you fast. But you guys did exactly what you're supposed to do. You were humans. Sing? Okay. Sing to rebut. That's exactly what you're supposed to do, right?

Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show. I thought you guys are good. You went to hear something cool. It just humanizes like some of the things that we get to do. Yeah? So my friend Nicole Gylan wrote one of the writers of Keith Urban's new song. and she sent me these on Insta story

So I'm just gonna play it for you Here you go This is her She's crying listening to the song First time she got goosebumps She heard it on the radio That's cool Crying listening to her song

Wow That's so cool man Like it just as a human Gosh And we just go What's a songwriter And But yeah

She did a great Bobbycast too But it's a jam Man Made me wish I was a female Wish I could minstrate No You don't

Huh The song makes me I want to, though. Okay. The Babbon Show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So what do you think is the one thing that would make people happier at work? I mean, you sort of...

Happier at work. Have us that you need to keep happy? What do you think we need? I would think with you guys that I wouldn't turn the air freezing every morning. Oh, for sure, instant happiness. Okay, but not every office has to deal with that. I'm just saying it's an overall thing for... You're all different.

It's all different personalities, too, because with Amy, she needs... to be told, you're doing a good job. Okay. That's what Amy needs. What's that called? Affirmation. Affirmation. Yeah.

There you go. Everybody's is different. Lunchbox just needs to be left alone. Yep. Giving freedom? Yeah. And Eddie's is kind of somewhere in the middle. Whatever, dude.

Yeah. Like, whatever you want. Every personality is different. Okay. Well, a survey was taken. So if you happen to be over some people and you want to know how you can make them better at their job, show them appreciation. evidently appreciation is key when an employee feels appreciated they have more satisfaction with their job hands down yeah the problem is if you overappreciated doesn't seem legitimate when you actually do appreciate meaning if every day i was like fantastic job then you yeah you don't have to do it every day yeah but still it's just like i can tell you this if i walk out of the room and our boss rod goes hey has a good show today and he doesn't do it the next day i'm like i'm going to show him must suck like i just want to know what

But I'm very direct. And I don't need, I don't need gloves. I do. You do. Bobby has special gloves. I do. For you. For you.

For you. Yes. What else you got? Okay. If you want people to be drawn to you, I got five things that you need to work on. First of all, people are really attracted to kindness, then intelligence, sense of humor, being fun-loving, and having an upbeat personality. I'm like, oh for five. You are not.

You have a sense of humor. Yeah. And you're kind and you're intelligent. Stop it right now. Three out of five, dude. Both are the two I'm not, though. Upbeat personality. And fun-loving.

I mean, you're so, you're so, if there's a microphone, because that's where you really shine. Yeah. Yeah. I'm searching for fake love. That's what I'm good. Yeah. What else you got?

Okay, so heads up, if you know that you're getting married sometime soon, this is the month. November is the time to buy a wedding dress. Brides to be can find dresses like 70. percent off in the month of November. And it made me think that back when I got married, I bought my dress in November and I did get tons of money off. I bought my dress. I think I got it for like 75% off, $199.

So what you're telling me is right now, if I wanted to save money, I buy a wedding dress and a bunch of Halloween stuff. There you go. And next year I'm set. You're set. I mean, even if you're not feeling on getting married, go ahead and buy the dress. Yeah, that's not crazy. If you found out a girl had done that. Okay, Dirk's Bentley.

He was ahead of your curve on this one because a lot of people are doing that whole dumb phone thing, which is where you trade in your smartphone for a, quote, dumb phone, like a phone that doesn't have all the, you know, apps and different things. It's only a phone that, like, takes and receives calls, like a flip phone. You know, he does that to kind of disconnect. Derek drives down with the Rotary. I know him well enough. He has a tough.

But back in the day, listen, for all you kids out there, And rotaries were even before us, but my grandma had one, so I used one all the time. Did you guys have a rotary? Ever? Grandparents. So you get started and it's like seven, six, three, oh, I did two. Son of a gun, you got to start over. You got to click it, hang it up.

Terrible. Yeah. Kids don't even know. What was your point of your story? Well, the point is that the whole dumb phone trend is really catching on and more people are doing it. Terrible trend. It's the only way I talk to people. You want to see me disappear?

Give me a dumb phone. You'll never hear from me again. Yeah, but when do you ever give yourself a break from technology? When do I need one? He doesn't when he sleeps. Yeah, even then I'm like, how time is it? That it? Yeah, that's it.

Hit it. Hit what? The clip. Every time I say that. Oh, then you need something to say then. You say, that's my pile. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

You can make up whatever you want. Oh, no. No. No. I'll do that. I have Amy with a little big town. No, no. I have Amy with Lady Annabella.

Yes. Are you singing again? Probably. Probbs. Probably. So we're here with Lady Annabellum, which is awesome because at the CMAs, y'all are not only performing, but you're nominated as well. So that's got to be pretty exciting.

So right now I want to take it. We're backstage. You're about to go on to perform. What do y'all do? Do y'all do. Do you huddle up and like do do. We're all doing push-ups. We're all doing push-ups together.

What do you do? Yeah, what do you do? Well, I do kind of, we'll go in the bathroom and do like kind of a vocal warm-up. Good acoustics. It's good acoustics. Give us an example of that. Like, hmm. You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.

No, that really wouldn't warm us up. You would have to go a little higher on that. We normally do, well, you have a thing. Yeah, we do. I do this as a noise everybody, but like I run to you. I know if I can hit the falsetto. I run. I know my voice is ready.

Yep. One, two, three. Bye. It's kind of a minor, for you. That's my favorite. They sound a good saying bye together like that. Yeah, because they're an excellent scene. Yeah.

Because they're, like, fantastic at singing. Also, listen, I haven't had a voice. And Rascal Fletch, you want to make fun of me for going on vocal rest? You know what? You three? I'll see you in the back alley behind Waffle House. I'll take all three you guys out. Secondly, Lady A, you want to make fun of me?

Bobby, you know, has gotten, you know, the show has become more popular and popular. He just feels like he can kind of just kind of just not show up. Oh, he's on sober rest. Oh, bless his heart. Bless his little heart. Oh, my gosh. It is. I remember, you know, we never started taking vocal rest to like five or six years in, too, you know,

once we felt like we were really kind of, you know, getting popular. I'll whoop your butt too, Charles. You want some of this? He's a big guy, man. I punch straight ahead, punch him right in the belly button. Right on the belly button. You want some of this? Boom, right in the belly.

It's so many moving parts. And then it's like, I'm not nervous during because I'm going all the time, all the time. I mean, we've been rehearsing.

Well, I started in August. We started doing the set design in January. So it's like I don't even like the weekends off. Because when the weekends are off, then I, with nothing to do. It's like I start getting a little nervous. Especially, I will tell you that back. I get a little bit nervous if when I see the promos on the air. It's like, all right, the promos are running on the network.

It's real. It's real. We've got to do this show. But as long as I'm staying busy and then when it's over, and I start thinking, oh my goodness, because there's little things that I don't plan, you know, that just happened, you know, and it's like, oh, that was so great,

or a perfect moment. And sometimes I think it's like, oh, my gosh, what if that moment hadn't happened or whatever? So I get nervous a little bit after, but I'm very proud, you know. So Robert Deaton's here, it's producing the CMAs. And for those that don't know the producer is,

What can we say about the opening of the CMAs tonight? Only that you don't want to miss it. It's going to be Keith Urban, Darius Rucker, Eric Church, Lady Anabelle, and 12 other artists that will all end up being on the stage at the same time. So it's a big opening. It's a big, big opening.

Have you guys rehearsed it? Yes, we have. Yes. The fascinating thing to me, too, is because I'm a fan of comedy and, you know, I do stand up and ho-well. But the Brad and Kerry, they've been doing it now for, this is our 10th year? This is our 10th year. Wow.

Yeah, this is our 10th year. What Robert told me was they will sit, and it's only like three of you, it's only like you, Brad, Kerry, one other person in the room, right? That's correct. All of it. Right. Exactly. And Brad and Carrie are brilliant, you know, just brilliant.

But yeah, and it's 10 minutes. It's 10 minutes of a monologue. So it's quite a bit of work. That's a pretty long monologue. It's pretty long. So the first year we did it was like three minutes. I think they said one joke. It was like we were just glad someone didn't fall off stage.

The great thing though is the thing that they have is that they can play music. Correct. And that makes it. And I think you guys found your groove with the parodies. Yes. And that does, it doesn't make it easier. It just gives you more avenues to go down. I just feel like that it's a signature to us or a signature to Brad and character.

you know, to that brand. I mean, they represent, when they're together, it's a whole different thing. And it just represents us because nobody can do it. Someone, people can try to do it, but it's not going to, it's not going to be the same as having Kerry Underwood and Brad Paisley.

And so, yeah, that gives us a lane that nobody else has that I think is really great. Robert Deaton's here. It's producing the CMAs tonight. You've been doing it, though, for an extra year. So you're 11 years now. I'm 11 years. So the first year I came in,

it was like, it was kind of already middle of the year. So it was kind of, and I had been working on the show as a producer. And then they decided that I would be the executive producer. And then it was the next, we didn't have a host that year. And I just felt like that was a mistake. It was like we need someone to help us take us through the night. And so I chose Brad and Carrie. But it wasn't, you know, looking at it now, it looks like a no-brainer, but back then it wasn't.

You know why I think it's not a no-brainer either? Because I know them both personally. and when you're not near your microphone, they're both very, very quiet people. They are. When you turn it on, boom! Yes. But you have to really know that that's their ability.

Because, again, I've spent personal time both of them, and they're very, very, very quiet and reserved, and, hey, I'm going to take my spot in the back of the room, but then lights on, poof. Yeah, they are. Both of them are. You know, and they're like, it's kind of like, in the way Brad and Kerry will work, well, you know,

Brad's coming with a thousand ideas a second. And he'll say this, this, this, this, this. And then all of a sudden, Carrie will just say that perfect thing or that perfect joke that takes it in a different, I mean, it's the absolute perfect thing. And it works so well together. And here's the thing, you know this. You do stand-up comedy. If you don't have trust in that other person, it's not going to work. And that's the thing.

They totally trust each other on stage and are, and that's what makes it work. I mean, trust is the whole thing. And with us, with me, that they trust. They trust me. They trust David Wilde, our other writer. That's what makes it work. You trust me tonight? Of course. I do trust you. Here's the thing. You're my friend.

You are my friend too. And I don't say that about a lot of people. I feel like we have a lot in common. But here's my only request. You're killing me. Can I say what I'm doing? Can I say who I'm out there with? Yeah, yeah, of course. I'm up with Carly Clause, beautiful model, right? You'll take that. Luke Combs can sing his brains out. And then Brett Young, who's way too good looking. Now I know exactly what he's now.

I don't want to stand next to Bright Young. That's my only request. No problem. Because I know, I have a big part where I'm like, hey, and then I do it in the winter wrist. I'm assuming I'm kind of in the middle because I'm opening the car. I'm just reading this thing. Yes, yeah.

Can we put the two hot people on the outside and put the two normal people like Luke Combs and I in the middle? No doubt about it. Oh, my, that's the only thing I was worried. I'm so grateful to be on, but it's like, if I have to stay next to Brett Young, nobody's going to see me. I'm just the point Dexter standing next to the model. He's so tall and tan.

Well, you know what? I did that on purpose, by the way. Everything's on purpose. There's nothing just random. From the moment that we come on the air until when we close, everything is on purpose. So what is the part with Bobby that's on purpose? I put you with them is because you're so supportive of new artist.

And like Carly Claus. And Carly Claus. Yeah, of course. Well, I figured who's not going to like that, right? But I figured you're so supportive of new artist. And you are always breaking new artists. on the show and you're so supportive of them and what they're doing and new music. And I was like, that's the award that you need to present.

I appreciate you putting me on the show. Like I really do. It was a big deal to me. And nothing's a big deal to me. You know, nothing ever is a big deal. I'm like, okay, I'm on to the next time. I'm genuinely excited. And I don't get excited about crap because I feel like I'm going to mess everything up.

I'm genuinely excited tonight to be put on the award show. And it's because of you. So I appreciate that. That's awesome. I'm glad. Marin and Nile are nowhorne are forming together. That's going to be cool. Have you seen them play yet together?

I have not. I have not. Pink is going to be there. Yeah, she's awesome. She's like got her own. Is she swinging? She's swinging? No, she's not.

She's not. But she is, I worked with her on the Billboard Awards, and she definitely got her on atmosphere. It's like, whatever that coolness is, it travels around with her. So what I just heard you say was that if I nail it at the CMAs, there's probably a spot at the country spot on the other award show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. You got to nail it, though.

Okay, don't mess up. Yeah, we all heard that. Nobody heard that for me. That was the only one. Sometimes Bobby's ears work in a special way. Tonight, I got a little something surprised. Something special for them? I'm going to do something political.

He didn't know about yet. Okay. I'm just kidding. I think a little bit of just wet himself. He's like, great. Listen, I'm by the book. I'm just honored to be on the show. Robert, you have no idea.

I appreciate it. What I also would encourage is Robert Deaton, who produced the CMAs is here. He came over to the house. and we talked about his career, and we did a bobby cast where he talked about, for example, the Stableton and Timberlake together. Good move. Yeah. Yes.

Thanks. There's Captain Obvious over there, Sonia. But there are stories like that that are fantastic. And let's just hit it for a second. Like Justin Timberlake, you invited him before, but he really wanted to be there instead of performing from afar. Yeah, that's correct. We were almost had him on, I think, two years prior, and we were going to do a remote.

I think it was from New Jersey. And he decided, which I didn't even argue about it. It's like, I want an artist to do it when it's right. And he said, you know, I just feel like the first time I do the CMAs, I want to be in the room with the other artist and feel what that is like. And I'm like, you know what? And that's exactly what you need to. And that's exactly what? And it worked perfectly.

And you know what? You do need to be in that room because it's different than any other room, in my opinion, of any other award show. Now, I'm not known to be a producer or anything, but I think if you paired Stableton and I have this year to sing a song. song, it may make everybody turn their TVs off. I don't think so. I think he could put anybody with him. Oh, that's true. Okay, fair enough, fair enough.

Robert Deaton's series producing the CMAs tonight. This guy here's done at all. He even, just a quick thing, he did the Tim and Faith, you know, when they did the whole, the magical tour thing in Vegas. Yeah. Soul to Soul. Yeah. And Tim gave me his hat from that tour because, like, he was like, hey, take his hat.

The Black Straw. But, yeah, that's you. You produced the Soul to Soul. I did. It was terrific. I didn't know you then. But now. Still, I was like emailing you.

Dear Mr. Deaton, I'm a big fan. Thank you for coming in. I hope everybody watches tonight. And I'm excited. I get to be there. I'm sitting in the second row behind Tim and Faith. I saw my picture on one of those little planks. And I was like, I think they put me in the wrong spot.

But I'll take it. Robert Deaton, good to see you, buddy. Thank you. Good luck tonight. Thank you for everything you do for us in the industry and country music. Appreciate it. And thank you for putting me with Carly Clause. I think you owe me now.

Yeah, I think so too. We'll see how it goes after the night. All right, Robert Dean, everybody. Tonight, watch CMA. Here's the deal. Tonight, the CMAs, I hope you watch. I will be presenting tonight. It's quite the group of presenters.

It's Luke Combs, myself, Brett Young, Carly Clause, a Victoria's Secret Angel. At the same time. I have requested that I not be standing next to Right, young. That's all requested. Yeah, he's tall and tan. And good-looking. Yeah. And I'm not. So...

You're tan and good-looking. Oh, show. And I'm actually pretty tall, but he's just taller. Yeah, he's like super tall. So tonight, if the camera stays on me, I'm giving the fist of the fans. But when I was on the ACMs, they cut off. I don't know when the cameras aren't on me because they're like showing the crowd and stuff. So I'm trying to get the fist of the fans to you guys tonight.
