Starting point is 00:03:02 Morning studio. Morning. You know who inviting me to go turkey hunting? Who? Craig Morgan? Oh, fun. He was like, hey, next week we're going to Turkey Hutton. Come with us.
Starting point is 00:03:10 You're going? I have to go to American Idol. Oh, man. I know. That guy, though, is pretty good on TikTok. You ever watch his TikTok? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:18 And at first, you're like, all right, what are you doing on TikTok? I mean, I'm a little too old for TikTok, and I've been on it for a year or so. But Craig Morgan, you're like, what are you doing on TikTok? But he's good at it. He does a really, oh, good job, for real. He posted the other day a video of him singing his Starbucks order. And pretty funny, here you go I'd like a venti Ameri-Americana
Starting point is 00:03:40 With extra heavy whipping cream And baby could you please Baby could you please Stay meant for me Oh What'd you say? Before he got out there too He's like, hey I lost to bed
Starting point is 00:03:56 I have to do this And as soon as he's done too He does look like defeated Like oh what did I just do Here's another clip where he's Playing filled up glasses with water and singing. Tell me,
Starting point is 00:04:18 who is there some? They guys a really good singer. I know you expect country media singers to be good. He's really good. Yeah, he's good. On mine, I posted this. I do these two partners with stories.
Starting point is 00:04:34 See if you can identify who I'm talking about. This is from my TikTok. I feel like I don't miss on a lot of new artists, but this is maybe one of the biggest misses I ever had in my whole career where I got an email says, hey, she'll come to the front. There's new artists here in the building,
Starting point is 00:04:47 and we think he's going to be a big deal if you want to go meet him. And I was busy. I probably had some commercials. to cut or something. And I was like, you know what? He'll be back through, who cares? And so my boss said, no, he's really got this large online following.
Starting point is 00:05:01 I think it would be good if you came up and met him. You may regret this. And I was like, I don't have time to do it. And so the artist came. He played a few songs. It was young at the time. And everybody was just like, wow, we can't believe that he was this good. And I was like, the guy from the internet, is that good?
Starting point is 00:05:17 You know, that's crazy. Wait till you hear who it is. Biggest blunder of my music career. Don't say who it is if you know. I know. I mean, I have my most educated guests. Do you know? I have a guess.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Write it down. Hey, so, question, though. When you do that, how do you, like, reveal the answer? I do part two. This part right here. Here's part two of the new artist that I completely missed on. New artist was up in the front of the building. My boss said, hey, come meet this new artist.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I was like, I don't really have time right now. And so I just didn't. I remember after he finished performing in our lounge area, everybody came back to me and was like, why did you not go to that? he was going to hang out, do like a half hour interview. To me, it was just a kid at the time. And everyone was like, he is so good. Like, although you see him, you know, all over TV and, you know, he's like a heartthrob kid,
Starting point is 00:06:03 he's a great performer. And he was set up. I was going to do like a half hour interview with him, but I was like, I don't want to talk to a kid. I missed big time on this. And so he started to blow up. Song came out. Baby was crushing it.
Starting point is 00:06:16 That was the time that I decided to not go to the front and hang out and watch Justin Bieber as like a 15 or 16 year old kid performed for like 10 people. Biggest new artist blunder I ever made. Sorry about that, Bebs. Love you though now, for sure. What'd you have? Justin Bieber. What'd you have?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Beber. Nice job. There it is. All right, I'm on TikTok 2. Mr. Bobby Bones. Not as fun as Craig Morgan, but still fun. You know what time it is. It is time to open the mailbag.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. my boyfriend and I are going to be moving it together this summer, and we're talking through how the bills will be split. For the record, we're not talking about marriage for another year or two, so doing joint accounts or anything combined isn't necessarily an option at this point in time. We will be living in the house my boyfriend had purchased before we started dating, but I certainly want to make sure that I am making a contribution to the bills,
Starting point is 00:07:13 but we are unsure how to break it down. The issue is that he makes over double what I make, So doing 50-50 isn't something I can afford. But that's what we've always done with roommates. Is there another way you would recommend splitting the bills? I thought perhaps a percentage of our income goes toward bills. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Fallon.
Starting point is 00:07:36 An interesting situation here. Because if you were just roommates, I would say it would be different. But you'd also be moving into a place that you guys could afford evenly. Exactly. Right. So she wouldn't move into a house she couldn't afford. Absolutely. And he knows that too, right?
Starting point is 00:07:51 Yes. We should. My suggestion would be not to break it down by percentages, because then you're just doing math all the time. And then you're going, all right, how much, let's get it. Take a couple of the bills and you just pay them. Let's say he's paying the big bills and it's like 75% of the total bill amount paid, but you're always covering the water bill and you're always covering the electric bill.
Starting point is 00:08:16 but he's paying all the rest of it. I think it's just easier if instead of combining stuff, you just take care of a couple bills that actually equals about what you're going to pay anyway. It's just like Target, hit accomplished, move on. But if he starts running the water too long,
Starting point is 00:08:32 you need to get on to him. Well, no. That's the thing. It doesn't matter. If it fluctuates, it's on her. It doesn't matter. My suggestion would be, you grab a couple or few of the bills
Starting point is 00:08:42 that's, you know, 25% of what he pays. and you just commit to those two or three bills and he pays the rest of them. I think that's easier for everyone. You're not figuring out percentages. There's no surprise each time. It is what it is.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You're doing the water. You're doing the electric or whatever it is. What do you think about that? I don't know. I'm just thinking if he's already the homeowner, he clearly he's been paying for it on his own. He's responsible. He's got the bills figured out.
Starting point is 00:09:07 They're probably in his name. So I guess I'm thinking if this isn't too weird, like, I mean, I like your idea. It could work too. But I'm thinking if he's already paying, for everything. He does it and then take a look at what you make and I'll just throw out a number like say
Starting point is 00:09:22 that it's not going to be this but $200 is what you can do and so every month you write him a check for $200. That feels weird to write him a check. I know it does I know. It makes a love almost a transactional thing. Okay you're right. I know and she probably wants a certain level of like I'm of like I'm contributing
Starting point is 00:09:40 and I'm responsible but also certain bills might be in his name unless she hasn't switched to hers so I mean if you plan on getting married then it shouldn't be like too weird right he's your boyfriend it's not like you're but you're still a year or two out that's true you know they're not taught they're not engaged i say you take a couple or a few of the smaller bills let him pay the big ones he's paying the mortgage and you're just done there's no more conversation about how much things are what's the percentage of 30% for it it is that's it that's it edie what about you i mean she
Starting point is 00:10:15 the word, she's comparing to like roommates. Like she's done that in the past with roommates. This isn't that situation at all. So I think just showing him that you can contribute, I think he's got it all under control. Sounds like he's a responsible guy with good money in a house and everything. I bet you he doesn't even want her to pay anything. But the fact that she shows like, hey, like you said, a couple bills here and there, I think it'd be great. Whenever Caitlin moved here, I had, I already had my life going.
Starting point is 00:10:39 You were to live here no matter what. You're right. So I have the mortgage. I was paying all the bills. but her thing is she's like, hey, I need to contribute so she'll buy groceries. Good one. You know, she's got her card on the file at Kroger, if we're ordering groceries
Starting point is 00:10:54 from Instacart. So she does putting gas in the cars. She'll go because she wants to feel like she's contributing and I'm not like, all right, we got a septic bill. You appreciate that when she does it? Of course. Yeah, of course I appreciate it. I don't need it, but I appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:11:10 And also, she's like, hey, I need to feel like I'm adding something in this household. And I think that's probably what this balance feeling too. She wants to feel like she's contributing and not just sitting around like a lump on a log. I like that idea like you're saying. After I said it out loud, I definitely would feel weird like writing my boyfriend a check like here's my
Starting point is 00:11:27 money. Take it. And it probably would be awkward for him too. It would be like okay I know you don't even make as much as me but hand over my $200. Also we say check it's a Venmo. Oh yeah, let's be real. Hey me mom. Sorry. Sorry. Last time I had roommates we wrote checks. That's been a while.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Fallon, thank you for your email. I think that's the solution. You grab a couple or a few of the lower bills, and you pay them. He pays the rest. And then, yeah, groceries could even be counted as a bill. That's true. Fallon, thank you.
Starting point is 00:11:55 If you guys want to email us, Morgan, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, close it up. And that was Bobby's mailbag. Ramundo, you went and got a vaccine? Oh, yeah, I went to Wally World. Was it a Walmart that was close to you or no? No, I found out you got to drive into the sticks.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I was 45 minutes out to there's wide open because for whatever reason people don't know that you can go to these Walmarts in the country and get a vaccine. Either they don't know or they don't care, right? Because Caitlin went down and got on a list at a Walmart an hour and a half away and they're like all day long. It's wide open. So she went down.
Starting point is 00:12:33 How was it for you? It was crazy. There were signs for flu shots and stuff like that. So I asked one of the attendants. I said, hey, where do I get my vaccine? I'm all signed up and everything like that. And they go, oh, just over there. And I go, but there's nobody in line.
Starting point is 00:12:44 They said, yeah, you're the first person in an hour. So I went up there, stood there, and I was kind of next to the flu shot people. And I go, why are y'all getting the flu shots? You know you can get the vaccine, right? They had no idea. I was informing America that you can get the vaccine. You just get on a list. How was it for you?
Starting point is 00:13:00 Oh, in and out. They did ask me some questions. I had to prove that my wife was immunocompromised. And other than that, though, I was able to get it because I didn't fit in the 65 category, health care worker, pretty much that stuff. I wasn't going to ask how you got it because I think that question is a bit intrusive. I don't think you go, hey, how do you qualify? Because people may not want to share their medical history with you.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Oh, yeah. It's very true. You don't know what's going on with people and they may not want you to know. Yeah. I don't need people knowing what's going on with me. How I was able to get mine early. And on the air, we just kind of said, hey, something happened. And so I for sure qualified.
Starting point is 00:13:36 And I wasn't going to ask Ray, but your wife now went through breast cancer. and so she's immunocompromise still considered that? Oh yeah, I believe for the rest of her life she will. Really? Yeah. Are you sore? Is your arm sore? Really not?
Starting point is 00:13:51 It was just the first shot. I had nothing. I'm expecting the second one. I have heard people have some side effects from that. So we'll see in a month. Yeah, I had nothing happened to me either. Which one did you get? Pfizer or Moderna.
Starting point is 00:14:00 I went Pfizer, but I really didn't have an option. They just told me which one. I went Pfizer. Yeah, you just get whatever they put in your arm there. You just show up and it can be that. Moderna, Johnson & Johnson. that's only one. So 80% of couples planning their weddings aren't concerned with vaccine availability for guests. We're getting married late summer. We are, we feel like everybody will have been
Starting point is 00:14:23 vaccinated if they wanted to get vaccinated. Tell me if I'm crazy in thinking this. I feel like because we're getting married in such late summer, and they say everybody will have it by the end of May, that we're like, let's party. If you have the opportunity to get it and then you choose not to get it, that's on you. That's how I feel. Because if you choose not to get it, I shouldn't have to make my plans different because of what you've chosen. Do you want guests to disclose? I don't care. Because it's, okay. Because if I have the vaccine, you're not going to give it to me. Yeah. So just to be clear, the vaccine protects you. Yeah. And that's it. So if you want to be protected, you have the vaccine. If not, then it's on you. I see what you're saying. So do you guys think I'm wrong for going,
Starting point is 00:15:07 Hey, here we go. If we're in August, and it's time to have the wedding, and everybody's got the vaccine that wanted it, let's party. Makes sense to me. Masks off, music up. Yeah. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Convince me otherwise, because I'll listen. No? No. All right. Not for me. Then we're going to have the wedding. Thank you, guys. We're the panel.
Starting point is 00:15:31 You're the panel. We're going forth with the wedding. We're feeling good about it.

Starting point is 00:19:53 Carrie Underwood will be doing a live virtual concert of her new My Savior album. It's happening on Easter Sunday from the Ryman in Nashville. They will stream it on Carrie's Facebook page at 11 a.m. Central Time, with donations during the stream benefiting Save the Children. Dolly Parton is getting a comic book in the Female 4 series. Her life story will be told in comic book form. The comic comes out on March 31st. Thomas Redd talked about giving his dad of Red Aiken's a shout out in his latest single, What's Your Country Song? As we started to kind of craft this song, we had the chorus first, and then we were trying to figure out where to take the verses.
Starting point is 00:20:31 and we kind of thought, what if we could tell a story in the verses through using some of our favorite song titles, whether it's from the 80s or from the 90s or now. And remember the first line that I sped out was, are your heart broke because you know that ain't your truck and her drive? Literally as a joke, just because Dad was sitting there. And as we started to write the song, it felt like it just fit. It was pretty funny, but I'm glad Dad got a shout out in that song. I'm Morgan number two.
Starting point is 00:20:51 That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Kara Wilson is a server at the Castaway Waterfront Restaurant and Sushi Bar in Marathon, Florida. And she's working a real busy morning. There's a lot of people in the restaurant. And there's a customer who just won't stop talking to her.
Starting point is 00:21:10 And she wants to know more about the people working at the restaurant. She mentions, I'm flying back to Florida here, my private plan a little bit. And Kara's like, oh, I'm like, roll my eyes. Like, what's going on here? But she wants to know how many people are working the restaurant at that moment. She says, why? She's like, it's not important. Just how many?
Starting point is 00:21:24 She's like, I don't know. She goes back and starts counting the people. She says there's 23 or whatever. So the customer says, great. And she writes down the tip, $10,000. And she says, Kara, make sure you spread that with everyone that works at the restaurant. She got a $10,000 tip. Wow.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Crazy. A couple questions. It's an amazing story. Why does it matter how many people if 23 equals 10,000? I think she just wanted to know how many people am I going to be helping today. Or maybe she was going to do if there was less people working, she wasn't going to do 10,000? Maybe it helped her crunch the numbers in her head. And does Kara get a slightly bigger cut of that?
Starting point is 00:21:58 Well, Kara, what she did, called the newspaper and said, you got to get the story. And immediately made me think of lunchbox. He tried to get himself in the news. Right. The server called the news. Not the customer. That may have been your move. You should do it again until the person working behind the counter.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Would you mind calling the news? Okay. Because you called the news on yourself. How much did you tip? No, I bought everybody in the restaurant lunch. I went to a sub shop because that's what Darius Rucker had done at IHOP. and so I tried to be cool and do what he did and I told everybody, hey, don't be afraid to call the news, call the news.
Starting point is 00:22:31 And nobody did. No one did. So then Nico Jackson, who happened to be a customer in the restaurant, he called the news and nothing. You should tell the person working there. Okay. Next time I'll do it and I'll have them. But you're going to have to give them something substantial.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Right? Lunchbox can't tip. Well, I would say if you go into a whole restaurant like Darius did, not just four people in a subline. Oh, man. I know. And pay for the whole meal? Well, you got to spend money to get rich.
Starting point is 00:23:00 I don't know. You get famous. I mean, never heard of that one. She's me didn't spend money to make money. Right. He just wants notoriety. Well, here's another thing that's going to make lunchbox mad too. You want to know the name of the lady that enough tip?
Starting point is 00:23:12 Yeah. She doesn't have a name. She's anonymous. Anonymous. Yeah, she doesn't want to be known. No, her name is what's that server's name? Kara. Yeah, Kara is really the person that left the tip and went to the newspaper.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Wait, that doesn't make sense. Not true. Yes, Kara is the one that left the $10,000 tip, but Kara doesn't really work at the restaurant. Kara is the person. She said, hey, there's this girl Kara that works at the restaurant. He's making all that up. There's a real Kara that did this.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Okay. He's making all that out. That's a good. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobby Bone Show. Story up the day. This story comes to us from Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Assistant District Attorney Greg Shore has been demoted after he was busted delivering Doornash during working hours. I don't hate the guy for having a second job. I think we've all had to do that at some point, especially in the pandemic, what's been tough for a lot of folks. But if you have a prominent job like assistant district attorney, you should probably do that while it's time to do the assistant district attorney.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah, I think there's people probably relying on you big time. Also, if you get demoted, what are you now, the assistant to the assistant district attorney? Oh, man. Maybe now you actually do go pick up food for people. It's going to be part of your job now. All right, there you go. I'm Lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:24:26 That's your Bonehead Story of the day. Yesterday I was listening to the radio and Jake Owen came on, made for you. I love the song. This has been my favorite song on the radio for a couple months now at this point. And I was thinking, how did you guys on the show
Starting point is 00:24:41 know that your significant other was, like this song says, Made for you? Like, what was... It can be a single moment or, like, when did it hit you? You were like, all right, this person's made for me.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Eddie, I'll start with you. Oh, this is great. Okay, okay. So I guess we were dating about two years in, I was living in Huntsville, Texas, and Pearl Jam was coming to Houston. And my wife now, she was living in Austin at the time. Well, she drove up to Houston to the Pearl Jam concert.
Starting point is 00:25:11 And we were kind of talking, and I go, look, I know you're kind of like my girlfriend now, but I've always watched Pearl Jam in the front row with my friend, like, and all the Pearl Jam fans. so I'm going to have to just do that if that's okay with you and she drove all the way from Austin and she goes you do love Pearl Jam and I'm going to let you do that and I said wow like she's going to let me
Starting point is 00:25:33 enjoy my concert in the front row while she just sits in the back and just watches her show because she knows how much I love this band that's when I knew she was made for me so she went to the concert yes she drove all the way to Houston but she didn't watch it with you nope and you didn't go let me just take one for the team and go sit with her if it wasn't Pearl Jam I would have but she knows how important that was to me. And I said, wow, she's made for me.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And you've been married for how long now? 15 years. How many Pearl Jam shows have you guys been to together now? Together, we went all the way to Hawaii to see a Pearl Jam show, so probably about five her and I. Do you watch them with her now at least? Now she's the one I go with. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:10 That's crazy. You did that so early in the relationship. I know. You're lucky she didn't throw deuses at you. If she would have, then we wouldn't be married. Yeah, she wouldn't be made for him. Exactly. Thank you, Amy.
Starting point is 00:26:19 She needed to probably know what's up. Like, this would happen again, maybe. Bones, I've never thought about that before. Thanks for bringing that up. All right, made for you, Amy? I would say probably the minute he wanted to start dating me. Like, I knew my husband since I was eight years old, and he was older than me and friends with my sister and her friends.
Starting point is 00:26:38 I always thought they were so cool. And to me, I just had him on this pedestal of sorts. So, I mean, we got engaged pretty quickly after we started dating. Like, what was it? a couple months. I remember Amy coming to me going, hey, this guy that I knew as a kid, he's in the military. I met him at a wedding. I kind of remet at a wedding.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I was like, get away from that. Like, he's military. He's probably got 100 girls, 100 places. I was like, that'll never work. Remember that advice? I kind of thought, well, when we started talking about him on air, like when I started dating him, we didn't say his name or thing, we just called him Air Force guy. And I remember thinking, like, oh, my gosh, Air Force guy could be my husband.
Starting point is 00:27:20 husband. Like, this could be it. And then sure enough, he proposed. And then a few months after that, we were married. Like, from the wedding that you brought up, it took from that wedding to our wedding, to our wedding was six months. From when you, like, remet the first time to getting married was six months. Wow. That's quick. I think a lot of people thought Amy was pregnant. Yeah. But I wasn't. There wasn't. That was impossible. So crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. Hey, Mike D. A lot of people are asking about your wedding. Because you're getting married in June, right? Yeah. How's that going? Going good. We have everything finalized. We're ready to go. We just got our wedding bands.
Starting point is 00:27:55 You did? Yeah. You're going to wear yours around your neck like I do? I'm not. No. Why not? I don't know. I don't really like any kind of jewelry. Well, I'm not a jewelry. We're watches now. I'm not a jewelry guy. But I feel like I keep it close to my heart. I also feel like everybody makes fun of me for wearing it. How did you know that your fiancé Kelsey was made for you? Whenever I met her parents for the first time and her younger brothers and saw the way she interacted with them,
Starting point is 00:28:17 I was like, I could see myself building a family with her. And that was when I knew. So that was seeing her with a family made you see her in your family. It saw like the whole future, yeah. Yeah, you had that vision. Yeah. I love that. I think that's sweet.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Amy, don't cry. Come here. Lunchbox, what about you? I would say my wife, whenever I'd go out with just the boys, and she knows that a lot of chicks would come up and, you know, trying to make moves on me. and she'd always tell me, hey, just no tongue. Like if they kiss you, no big deal.
Starting point is 00:28:50 Just no tongue. That was our rule. And so we'd be out at bars sometimes together and girls would come up and just give me a kiss. And she'd be like, that's cool, as long as there's no tongue. So you were with her, dating her, and she would like girls kiss you as long as there was no tongue. Yep.
Starting point is 00:29:04 It's not true. Are you saying you wouldn't kiss them? They would just kiss you? Yeah. But I'm also saying there's no way she allowed her boyfriend to kiss other girls. 100%. We need her audio of her saying that this is what she allowed. Without it sounded like she has a gun to her head.
Starting point is 00:29:21 That's fine. I get the audio. You guys, you don't believe me. My wife is so cool and laid back that things don't bother her. I'm telling you, girls would come up to me at the bars, and they would, plant one on me. And she'd just stand over there and drink her drink. And then she'd come up like, oh, that's funny.
Starting point is 00:29:36 First of all, I've never seen a girl just go up and kiss him. Ever, ever, ever. And then secondly, I just don't think his wife would allow that, or a girlfriend at the time, Would she allow it now? I don't know. I'd have to ask her about now, but yeah. That was her running thing. And if I was going out with the boys,
Starting point is 00:29:51 you'd be like, remember, no tongue. That's how he knew. It was for him. Okay, so so far, Mike D is the most romantic here, Bobby. What about you? I don't know that mine's extremely romantic, but about the third time that Caitlin made me belly laugh because she's the funniest person.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I think she's surpassed Eddie and the funniest person in my life. Yeah. I mean, she's really funny. She's funnier than I am. And so about the third time I was like, I have to like dial in to keep up with her. And I thought, okay, this definitely could be something like something really big. But that was the first time where it clicked where I was like, holy crap, this is different than anything else.
Starting point is 00:30:29 Because I already really liked her. But about the third time, because that's how you get to my heart making me laugh. And about the third time I was like laughed out loud at something she said. I was like, oh boy, I think this might be it. She was made for me. Yeah, I think that was it. Okay. Ray Mundo, last one.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah, I moved in with her and her roommate downtown. It was two girls and it always just felt so girly in the living room. And one day I came home and she bought me a pudding green. And she put it right in the living room, right in front of everything. And I thought, oh, this is fun. This will be last maybe for like a week. That pudding green stayed there for about 12 months. I was like, I love this chick.
Starting point is 00:31:03 She's made for me. So when you look back at all of these, right, this is a nice little study here about what's important to all of us. Like Ray still wants to be a bro. Even though he's married, Ray wants to be a bro. Eddie still loves music. The most important thing to him is music. It was then it is now. Like that's what you would know Eddie for.
Starting point is 00:31:21 Lunchbox still likes to act like he's making out with chicks. Anyway, you can still see what was important to us then and what's still important to us now. They just had to match what is important to us.

Starting point is 00:35:10 Hey Tony good morning Good morning I was calling just to say hi because I miss you guys I love your show but I haven't listened in several weeks because I gave up listening to the show for Lent My daughter suggested it She's nine years old And at first I was going to tell her
Starting point is 00:35:26 It's a little too hard for Mama Because I love the show and she ended up giving up electronics for Lent So I was like, yeah, okay. So I figured this would be a fun way for me to hang out with you guys without breaking my lips on me. So when do you get to listen to the show again? After Easter. Okay. So you're almost there.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Another week or so and you get to listen. Is there anything that she's missed over the past month? Arkansas's in the Sweet 16, NCAA tournament. Big deal for me. That's happened. What can we clue her in on? Matthew McConaughey was on the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Yesterday. You're starting to wear your wedding. Yeah, your wedding ring. I run my wedding band around. my neck, yeah, and everybody's making fun of me. Yeah, that's good. Amy and Eddie had birthdays. George Strait was in Amy's hotel room. Yeah. Oh, I'm the elder versus millennial champion. All right, Tony, well, I feel like that's it.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Anything else you want to know? Well, I do want to wish Amy a happy belated birthday. I missed your birthday. I'm sorry. I'm right behind you. I'll be 40 in a couple weeks. Nice. Oh, it's great. You're going to love it. How does it feel? Feels awesome. I'm here for it. You're not in the future, Amy. For me, it does. I'm telling her. It's like, hey, you're going to love it up here. I'm already here. I see it. It's going to be great for you. Yeah. Happy early birthday. Awesome, guys. Thank you so much. All right, Tony, wish we had more to talk about, but I guess that's it. Have a good day.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yeah, you too. All right. See you later. I guess we should be flattered because you're supposed to give up something that you really love. We could have just put her on hold and let her hear more of the show, I guess. That way she wasn't actually listening on the radio. I do have some reaction clips to the mailbag from yesterday. In the mailbag yesterday, Jared wrote us saying that his fiancee wanted her dad to attend his bachelor party. he's a dude getting married and all of a sudden she's like my dad needs to come and he's like and all the guys on the show were like no if you don't want him to come he shouldn't come that shouldn't be forced upon you if you do want him to come great but if you don't that shouldn't be forced upon you so lunchbox goes out to talk to people here is the first clip yeah i don't know about that now it's going to be a bachelor party yeah yeah so say no to that right well the other
Starting point is 00:37:25 part is is that happy wife happy life yeah so if she really wants him to come i'd find something maybe a little different. Like you could do like a top golf, you could do, uh, there's a lot of different things you can do here that are still fun. That's true. Okay. That's true. You know, all right, thank you. I just wouldn't change my whole bachelor party because I had to fit a father-in-law in. You can make something else just for him. Yeah, there's another one. Your bachelor party is you're, you're chilling with your dudes. Right. So you shouldn't have to conform. You can have the bachelor party, but throw a real one later without him. So what you're saying? Tell her you're going. out golfing. So you're saying fake bachelor party?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Yeah, just go out, have some beers and whatnot and act like, ooh, little wild and crazy. I'm done with it now. And then go out with your buddies on a separate couch. That's funny to have a whole fake bachelor party. The problem is someone's going to post a picture somewhere. Not even a bad picture, but somehow it's going to get back to them. But a fake bachelor party would be hilarious. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Starting point is 00:38:28 So if you're looking to commit something to memory, it's better that you write it down, like take pen to paper and that'll help you out. A lot of people type things up because that's just the norm these days, but they say it's way more effective if you're hoping to memorize it. And it makes me think of a birthday present that my husband got me, which is a tablet thing that you can write on. Oh yeah, I saw him give you that. Yeah, it's called Remarkable and it's just that. Like, so you can write things down, but then it'll even like transfer it over to a typed message if you wanted to. Seems like a little too much work for me to write things down on a pad.
Starting point is 00:39:02 But what works for me is saying it out loud. If someone's like, hey, remember this, or a license plate. If I just think it, I'm okay, remember it. I don't do that well. But if I say it, 9F2PPA, I remember that. And that's Eddie's license plate. Oh, I would just say that. But you know where I get that from or like in spy movies or when they're in the Middle East.
Starting point is 00:39:22 They're like, okay, say it out loud. And they'll make them say it out loud back. And so I looked it up and that's what they do. That's how you really, if you say it out loud, it's easy to remember as well. All right, what else? So do you think it's okay. to use emojis at work. Yeah, we have a dumb job.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Okay, but like with our CEO, would you use an emoji? Yes. I would use a few emojis. I wouldn't send them the, you know, eggplant. Okay, I would say we didn't have a dumb job. Would you think it's professional or no? It just depends who the CEO is and what your relationship is with them. Well, now three out of four people say they're down for using emojis at work,
Starting point is 00:39:54 and that used to not be the case. But a new survey was done, and people think it helps them, like, send the right tone of a message and makes work a little less formal, and then they can respond to messages a lot faster if they can just throw out an emoji. Emojis helps so much with tone. A little smiley face, everything's fixed. That's a band-aid on your mean message. Speaking of CEOs, our CEO, RSVP to my wedding.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Oh, he got heard about that. Yeah, well, I'm just saying, he R-Sv-Ped. I was surprised. Yeah, big deal, he's going to fly in and come to the wedding. That is. You just kind of send it and go, I bet he doesn't want to come, but I'm going to send it, hoping he comes, but he'll probably just go, I'm too busy doing CEO. things. Yeah, because he's probably really busy.
Starting point is 00:40:34 And I would expect him to send a message, hey, I would love to come but can't and then an emoji. Like a smiley face. But he's like, you know, I'll be there. Can't wait. That's awesome. That's awesome. All right, what else? So Post Malone was part of the Texas Benefit concert that Matthew McConaughey put on, and he did a cover of Brad Paisley's.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I'm going to miss her. Here's a clip. Well, I'm going to miss a Blake show. I'm sitting in the sun. I'm sure. Here's the thing about Post Malone. He musically represents all of us. and you may think, well, I don't like Post Malone,
Starting point is 00:41:17 but the guy grew up in Texas, loves country music, obviously loves hip-hop, loves 90s rock, did the whole Nirvana live thing, did a hooty song. If you grew up in the streaming era or the download era, Post Malone kind of represents where you come from.
Starting point is 00:41:34 And so he could put out a country album, he wouldn't do an album, a country song, and I think people would kind of be like out of sideways, but I think it would work because I think he genuinely loves country music. Let's go to our Post-Malong. Malone expert, Mike D. Mike D, what do you think about Post Malone and country music?
Starting point is 00:41:49 I think it'd be great at it. He's hinted before that he wanted to put out an album, but I think he would definitely do a song. And he loves country music. What else have you seen him do country wise? I mean, he hangs out with a bunch of country artists and plays their songs with them. So, yeah, definitely he would do that. What are you going to do, Amy? Well, he's previously covered Hank Williams. He's also shared the stage with Little Big Town, Dary Strucker, and Blake Shelton before. There you go. So, yeah. There's no reason why he shouldn't be a guest here on our show. Oh, we should bring him in.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Bring him in. Scuba. Let's put scuba on it. He's denied us three times already. Oh, we've tried. He has? Yeah, he has. Not him personally, but his label has.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Hold on, here's Mike D. coming back. He follows me on Twitter. What if I send him a DM? Try it, yeah. See if he'll do because his label, you know what the labels are. They have whatever they try to do. Hit him up directly and see if you get a different kind of response. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Yeah. Hit him up. Okay. I'll do it. The Sundays. And there's no chance he responds to Mike. How does he follow you on Twitter? Does he follow everybody? No.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I just randomly liked one of his tweets one day and then he followed me back. Maybe it was an accident. He followed me for a few years now. You are a diehard post Maloam fan. Huh. Okay, message. Are you, wait, hold on.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I come back to the microphone. Are you worried he'll stop following you? Oh, yeah. I've been waiting to have a reason to message him. I think this is the reason. And you're not going to be upset if you message him and then he goes, why am I following this guy and then gets out? No.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You're okay. I'll be fine with it. Okay. All right. Shoot your shot. Oh, shoot our shot. How about that? That's for all of us.
Starting point is 00:43:13 All right, Amy, what else? Sundays, We are Texas Benefit. It's going to be up on Matthew McConaughey's YouTube page for a whole month. So if you haven't watched it yet, you can still go there. And it's YouTube.com slash Matthew McConaughey. Google how to spell his last name. You know what? Please do.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's a lot. All right. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home there's something good.
Starting point is 00:43:40 There's a couple in their stuff. 60s. They're driving through Idaho. They got their pickup truck. They got their 30 foot camper trailer attached to the back when they swerve, loose control. Boom, crash through the guardrail. And they are hanging 100 foot
Starting point is 00:43:55 down to a gorge. Like, they are stuck off the side of the bridge. The truck is just hanging there. The only thing that is holding on is the safety chain from the trailer to the truck. And they are dangling. So the trailer is still on flat ground. Yes, but the truck is oh, m. So it's them two
Starting point is 00:44:11 and there are two dogs just dangling there. So the police and rescue team come and they get harnesses and they repel down, wrap a harness around the driver, pull them up. Then the passenger, pull them up. Save them and the dogs. That's what I was going to say. Where's the dogs? Where's the dogs?
Starting point is 00:44:27 They were literally dangling. You could see the gorge below and they're going to fall to their death. Oh my gosh. What about you guys? I'm picturing that once they took everyone out, then everything fell. Right when they pulled the last dog, it fell. Yeah, just like the movies.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Right. And if, don't go on a trip anymore. Stop driving. Do them? Yeah, it's over. You survive, just stay home now. There you go. That's what it's all about.
Starting point is 00:44:50 That was tell me something good.

Starting point is 00:48:35 There once was a king who was only 12 inches tall. All. Terrible king. Great ruler. Really? Twelve inches. That was the morning corny. Okay. Hey. These are always awkward because we love both of them. So it's Battle of the Band's 90s Country Edition. In the Red Corner from Georgia, 6' foot 4, 18.
Starting point is 00:49:08 He sold over 75 million albums, 16 studio albums, three greatest hits albums, two Christmas albums, two gospel albums. His hits include Gone Country. Gone Country. And don't rock the jukebox. And don't forget about Chattahoochee. It is A-L-A-N-A-N-A-L-E-L-E-N-A-L-Jaxon. It's tough to beat Alan Jackson.
Starting point is 00:49:44 Standing at 5'10, weighing 169 pounds. This next artist has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. His hits include, check yes or no. Check yes or no. Oh, man. Carrying your love with me. and Amarillo by morning.
Starting point is 00:50:11 Amarillo by morning. It is George Strait. So, we love them both. But it's Alan Jackson v. George Strait. Ramundo, you're in there pushing the buttons. Our audio producer, Ramundo, who are you picking? George Strait, just because I remember when we first moved here, he had so many number ones.
Starting point is 00:50:37 There's no way Alan Jackson's even close to that. I got to go strictly based on. number one's George Strait. And I think George Strait ends up winning, but I'm going Alan Jackson. I didn't grow up in Texas. I grew up in Arkansas. And I know that Texas love is for George Strait because of all the Texans here on the show. And George Strait's fantastic to me.
Starting point is 00:50:59 But Alan Jackson, his music hits me harder than George Straits does. Like Chattahoochee had a bigger place in my life growing up than any George Strait song did. So I'm going, and I've also met Alan Jackson. And he said, Hey, man, you'd be on the radio? And I was like, yeah, it goes, nice to meet you. And that was it. And it was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Sounds like Sir Sillone. Yeah. He also came in on the show once, too, as a guest. So did George. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I said I met him once. I met him once playing. Oh, like out and about.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Yeah. So I'm going Alan Jackson. Lunchbox. Listen, guys, George Strait is amazing. Amazing. But when you look at Alan Jackson's songs, there are so many jam. after jam after jam.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Give me Alan Jackson. We got two Alan Jackson's. Amy. I mean, there's not even a question. I love Alan Jackson, but George Strait all the way. 100%. George. That's Amy's favorite artist.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Yeah, I mean, you put him up against anybody. I don't have to pick him. Well, we're at two to two. We're going to Eddie for the final vote. Eddie, you are a Texan. Bones, I love Alan Jackson. You know that. I do.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Chattahoochee. Come on. We talk about the jeans all the time that he wore on the music video. But man, I was born and raised in Texas, dude. I was born and raised on George Strait music. He is the king of country music for one reason, because he is the king. Give me George Strait.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Get out of here. The winner. George Strait! Listen, we hate this segment. They don't like picking against anyone. It started with Old Dominia versus Little Big Town. That's a tough one, too. They're all tough.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Well, George Strait wins Battle of the bands today. On my TikTok, I did the top seven 90s country artists without a doubt, don't argue with me. That's what I said. At number seven, Randy Travis. Mandy Travis reminds me of being with my grandmother, who was who introduced me to country music. When I thought country music was current listening to, you know, Johnny Cash and the old school, all she had was an old record player. And then later an old cassette player. So I thought it was Johnny Cash and John Anderson.
Starting point is 00:53:16 I thought that was contemporary country music until I started listening to the radio. But Randy Travis was about the only new country artist that she could listen to because he sounded so old. So I loved Randy Travis. At number six, Trisha Yearwood. You know, we had Matthew McConaughey on the show yesterday, and he got his start basically in the Runaway Joe video.
Starting point is 00:53:39 That's right. He was casted in a local, like, hey, we're looking for good-looking people to be in the video. That was way early. Way, way back in the day. Yeah, so I have Trisha Yoderwood at number six. At number five. Again, don't argue with me on this.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Joe Diffy. I never knew you were a pickup man. You can set my truck on fire. And maybe not as many massive hits as some of these other guys. But Joe Diffy just made you feel good. All his songs just made you feel good. Rest in peace, Joe Diffy. At number four, Alan Jackson.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Yeah, way down yonder on the chattahoot. You never knew how much that muddy water meant to me. But I learned how to swim, and I learned who I was. A lot about living and a little about love. At number three, Reba. Oh! And Reba's still awesome. I went to watch Reba on Brooks and Dunn last year to play that show together.
Starting point is 00:54:50 And it's hard to equal a shine of Brooks and Dunn because they're so dynamic on stage and they have all the hits. But Reba just owns it. and she comes out and does all the wardrobe changes and like she was Beyonce before Beyonce was Beyonce at number two. I don't understand this. You have two spots left and so many more artists to go. Well, yeah, that was bound to happen.
Starting point is 00:55:09 That's what happened. How did you not understand? There's hundreds of artists. Who are you going with? I know. It has to be the last final too. There's others that I would think we've been on the list. There's only two left.
Starting point is 00:55:21 At number two, Brooks and no. What? See? I called you. Ah, no. Marie. Don't argue with any. Marie.
Starting point is 00:55:35 What? No, Brooks and Dunn, they deserve to be in the list. I get it. But based on this list and where I think you're headed, that means that George Strait wasn't even in your top seven. Uh-huh. And Shania? Like, this is crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Yeah, I thought that was going to be Shania right there. And maybe because he's going 90s and Garth had success, like other places, you're... Maybe he's in another list of like multiple decades. Or maybe it's not even Garth. Oh, wait. Right. This one's saying Shania might come in at number one.
Starting point is 00:56:08 No chance. George. Top artist from the 90s. I did a list. Top seven. Randy Travis at seven. Tricia Yearwood at six. Joe Diffy at five.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Alan Jackson at four. Reba at three. Brooks and Dunn at two. Who's at one? Go. Who do I have? Garth Brooks. No.
Starting point is 00:56:30 I had. Garth, but I'm going Shanaya. No doubt, Garth Brooks. At number one. We have a tie! Oh! Shania! Garth! Garth and George? Shania and Garth? No, George and Garth. No, stop. G and G. No, no. The king and the goat. No, no. S and G. Shanaia and Garth. Yeah, has to be. We have a three-way time! So it's Shania, the goat and the king. It's Shania and George Strait and Garth, Brooks. You can't separate them. They all. Number one for the 90s. All right, here's a little Shania for you.
Starting point is 00:57:09 Here's a little George Strait for you. And here's a little Garth Brooks for you. Three-way tie. Is it three-way tie? Classic Bobby. Classic. Thank you very much. You know what I'm going to start doing on TikTok?
Starting point is 00:57:28 I'm going to start doing country music blind items. Like I know secret stuff all the time. I'm just not going to say who it is. And so I'm going to take my glasses off and put some. on glasses on, it'll be like, cut your music, blind item. And you're going to reveal secrets? I'm not going to say who it is. I'm just going to give the blind item.
Starting point is 00:57:41 I love it. Like the New York Post, you used to do? Yeah, the blind item. Yeah. Huh. That'd be hilarious. And then let people guess. Well, that would be funny?
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yeah. And then everyone who it's about is they're going to be puckered. Like, oh, you're going to get me. We're going to start cutting music blind items on my TikTok. All right, let's play the fiddle game. A lot of country songs have fiddle in them. We're just going to play the fiddle part. Can you name the song?
Starting point is 00:58:06 Are you guys ready? Ready. All right, we're going to play elimination style. If you miss it, you're out. Here we go. Number one. That's what? Quitz-a-z-z-a-z-z-a-z-z-a-z-h-h-h-h-h-h-hit-it-a.

Starting point is 01:09:32 has two guys working on the train to thank. His name is Mike. He was having lunch. His dog ran off. Couldn't find his dog. Look for him for hours. The dog runs over to the train track area and is literally on the tracks and the train is coming at the dog. Now luckily this was a really long straight stretch, but the engineer Christian Beck spotted the bulldog on the tracks and was able to pull the train slow enough that they didn't run over
Starting point is 01:10:00 the dog. Wow. That wasn't moving. I think that's harder than you think. Oh, it is. Stopping a big old train? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Yeah, him and assistant conductor Vinnie Frajali stopped the train, stepped off the train, got the dog. After a few minutes, they put the dog back on the train. When they got to their next stop, they pulled off. The dog had a collar on. They found the owner. That's great. Man, you had to really be looking at the tracks, though, to stop.
Starting point is 01:10:26 Because I can imagine you're not just staring down the tracks a whole time. You're not driving anything, so. Yeah, shout out to Christian Beck, Vinnie Frajali. You got saved the dog. Made a guy really happy, too. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's go over to Terry in Pittsburgh.
Starting point is 01:10:42 who is waiting patiently. Terry, what's happening? Good morning, studio. Morning. I was calling to ask Bobby, first of all, congratulations on all your endeavors you got going on. Thanks. And I wanted to ask you about your new reality show, how much of it is scripted, and how much of it is just not scripted. Well, it's not a reality show, because there's no story to really follow along with except for one episode. What I'm doing, May 31st, it's called Breaking Bobby Bones.
Starting point is 01:11:11 It is completely unscripted because I could never remember lines while I'm hanging 5,000 feet over the Grand Canyon or climbing a tree. But I go and I kind of walk a day and a life of a very inspirational person. You know, for example, one of the guys served in the military. His name is Ralph. Lost both legs when a bomb hit him. And he was in Afghanistan. He bounced back. He had never played hockey.
Starting point is 01:11:32 He's from Southern California. But he found sled hockey and was on the U.S. Paralympic team is. They want to gold medal. And so I went out and learned all about his story. and was with him for three days. And then I try to live a day in the life of these guys, these heroes, these guys means guys or girls.
Starting point is 01:11:48 And so I played sled hockey with these guys who lost their legs in battle with the gold medal team. And they beat the crap out of me because they knew they were going to be on TV. So they weren't going to be on TV being soft. So I got crushed. And so the goal was for me to score a goal. And you have to watch to see if I can. But I was terrible.
Starting point is 01:12:07 I've never played any hockey in my life. But so no, it's not scripted at all, but I think you'll watch it, and I think you'll be inspired by the people that had something happened to them or they were born into a situation that they were told, hey, you probably won't be able to get out of this, but not only did they survive, but they thrived and they're passing it on. And so I feel like that's what I'm doing as well. So I'm kind of walking a few days in their shoes and living their life a little bit, and there are some pretty hairy situations I get myself into. Some of them I do well, some I don't. But no, it is not scripted at all. However, maybe season two if we have it, I would love for it to be scripted, because then I won't be scared all the time. How's that for an answer, Terry?
Starting point is 01:12:45 I'm looking forward to it. Thank you very much. I'm looking forward to it, excited. How about Adam? My husband, love you. Love you, Adam. There you go. Love you, Adam.
Starting point is 01:12:55 May 31st, that show comes out on Nat Geo, and then I think after like six episodes happens, they get like a, like a whole drop on Disney Plus. Because they'll do like little blums. Oh. That's what I call it. Little clusters. Blum blibibm. Yeah. Thank you for your question.
Starting point is 01:13:10 Let's do Yanexas in Naples, Florida, who is on the phone. Hello, Yenexis. Good morning, everybody. Morning. I had a question. So I'm getting married in 17 days, and I am not requiring people to wear masks, but I am saying, if you feel comfortable wearing them, go ahead and wear them. I was wondering where you guys stand on if people want to wear their masks or not.
Starting point is 01:13:35 Well, in 17 days, I would say you should probably wear a mask. Although in Florida, you guys don't even, I don't think they have masks there. I mean, honest, I don't think. I kid, kind of. But in 17 days, I would say, hey, masks. But when we get married late summer, who knows what the environment's going to be? So we don't have a decision on that yet. I think everybody will be vaccinated.
Starting point is 01:13:55 And if you, right now, if you're asking me, I think it'll probably if you want to wear one, wear one. But I don't think we'll see masks being as prevalent in August, September, honestly. I think some will. Yeah. And if people wanted to, you, that. would be totally fine. I was wearing a mask before COVID on airplanes, and you guys would tell me how nutty I was.
Starting point is 01:14:13 That's true. You'd walk on a plane and you'd see that one person with a mask on. That was me. Because I wanted to catch a cold of the flu on an airplane. Now all of a sudden, everybody's caught up. Good luck with your wedding. How you feeling? You nervous?
Starting point is 01:14:28 No, because I've known my fiancé for 15 years. So I am excited to be on the week. Okay, well, congratulations. I hope it goes awesome. Thank you. Congratulations to you guys. Thank you very much. Have a good day. You too. Tonight, if you have Twitch, or not you can download Twitch, it's a free app, or you can just hit on the internet.
Starting point is 01:14:49 Boop, that link pops up. We're doing a very limited talk show, six episodes, one a month, but tonight it's me with Maddie and Tay and Ryan Hurd. We have a whole bunch of stuff playing. I have no idea how it's going to work. Haven't even practiced it yet. She'll just fly by the seat of your pants. Well, I know them. I called in my friends for the first episode so it would be comfortable. We got all this equipment at the house.
Starting point is 01:15:12 We're streaming it live at 8 Central, so 9 Eastern 8 Central. It's called On Time with Bobby Bones. I hope you guys watch. I don't know what's about to happen. Are they performing or are they going to just talk? Well, at first I was like, don't feel like you have to perform. I don't even know if the cameras are going to work. But they feel comfortable if they're going to perform.
Starting point is 01:15:29 Cool. So I think we're going to have some live music tonight. Nice. We're going to do some interviews. We'll play some games. We got a jenga. Oh, really? You play Jenga? I think so.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Okay. You ever seen him play Jenga live time? No? Yeah, while doing an interview. Yeah. Great. Yeah, this could be amazing tonight. That'll be on Twitch.
Starting point is 01:15:46 Let's do the news. Bobby's Big. Story. This is a really sad story. Prosecutors are promising justice following yesterday's deadly shooting in Boulder, Colorado. While the details are still evolving and the shooter's name is still being withheld, police have confirmed that 10 people are dead at the King Super's grocery store. the suspected gunman has also been taken into custody.
Starting point is 01:16:09 Among those, he's accused of killing, is a Boulder police officer who was one of the first to respond to the scene. His name is Eric Talley, an 11-year veteran of the force. He has survived by a wife and seven children. It's been 30 years since Boulder has had an officer die in the line of duty. So we are thinking about everybody in that community and Officer Talley's family and everybody who's been affected by the shooting. Do you see in the news yesterday?
Starting point is 01:16:33 I did. It's so sad. I mean, I was just reading some of the witness accounts and, like, one guy was there. He's like, I just stopped by to get Coke and Cheetos. And then next thing you know, he was running to the back of the store because he heard the gunshots. Nah, we're thinking about you guys. All right, let's do another one. Bobby's other story. In a lighter story, Krispy Kreme is encouraging more people to roll up your sleeves and get a coronavirus shot because starting today, anyone who shows a vaccination card,
Starting point is 01:17:04 can get a free glazed donut. No strings attached. By the way, it's not just one time. It's every day for a year, for the whole year. You can go and get a donut every day for the rest of the year. Oh, really? Right? Yeah, every day, one a day.
Starting point is 01:17:19 You get a free donut every time you show them your card, and that means they're going to go out of business because everybody's going to be stopping by for that free donut, one a day, boom, even if you don't want to eat it, just go by and get it. Well, no, I don't think that's it. Why would you go waste? However, I read that two and thoughts.
Starting point is 01:17:34 it was a typo. Well, I was wondering how they were, I thought they were going to stamp your vaccination card with like a donut. Can you imagine you get a donut stamp on your back? Well, because how else would they track? I thought, you get a sub stamp at subway. You take it everywhere. I thought for the rest of the year they were offering it to all people, like you have all year to get vaccinated. But then like once you showed your card, you got your free donut like, you're done. But I guess you're not. That's crazy. I believe. I believe. If I read it right. Me too. It is one a day for the rest of the year. Well, you know, I don't read things right.
Starting point is 01:18:08 Mike D, can you fact check that, please? Because I read that last night, and it did say one a day for the rest of the year. Wow. That's crazy. That's cool. By the way, we're not going to die of COVID if we get a donut every single day. We're going to die of donuts. Yeah, I think they know nobody's going to go every day. You're going to go. Lunchbox wants to go every day just a waste of doughnut. Yeah, you know you have to eat it.
Starting point is 01:18:32 There you go. There you go. Get a donut. Okay. Well, I mean, that means you've got to have a crispy cream, like, on your row every day, or you're going out of your way to get a donut. Eventually, you're going to get tired. Let's go over to fact check, Mike, one of his many personas. What do you have, fact check, Mike? It is every day. For the rest of the year. They don't check it anymore every day.
Starting point is 01:18:49 So no donut stamp? Okay. This is going to be crazy. That's the news. Thank you guys. Bobby Speed. Story. Let's go over to Brandon. Brandon, what's happening?
Starting point is 01:19:03 Thank you for calling the show. Thank you. I just wanted to ask a quick question about these vocal shows like The Voice and American Idol. I sing a lot with bands around here, local bands in Arkansas, and they've always wanted me to go on one of the shows. But I feel like the judging has gotten harder, and I wanted to get your opinion on it. I mean, you've got to be good.
Starting point is 01:19:24 I think the judges know what can win a show, and there's no fluff of, hey, buddy, you can do it, just keep trying. It's like, you know, you don't have what it takes. So go do a little work. come back. I think it's much more direct judging now. I think it's also honest and it's not as mean for television
Starting point is 01:19:41 ratings. That was really the thing back in the day. I know on our show, American Idol, you don't be mean. There's no bully culture there. Now sometimes, like last night, for example, I had to get onto these kids a little bit. So, they were singing, and this is me walking into a room with them while these two are singing for a duet. Here you go.
Starting point is 01:20:03 Honestly, I'm so bored with this version. This is a lot of love because I love the pairing of you two because you're so different. But when I walked in, I thought you guys were just getting warm. I didn't realize this was the actual version. You guys got to think of a song that's going to wow the judges because that honestly won't. You both can get there.
Starting point is 01:20:22 You're not anywhere near there right now. It may be a song change, honestly. So that wasn't me going and going, hey, you guys suck. You look goofy. Because they didn't and they didn't. But it was me going, hey, you guys are better. than this, so let's do something to highlight what you're good at. I got a little heat last night from folks.
Starting point is 01:20:38 Really? A little bit, yeah. For being too firm or harsh? I think firm's a good word. Because I was firm, and you know what? They changed and they got through. There we go. But firm, you were calm and firm.
Starting point is 01:20:48 That's the number one thing a parent could be. And you're kind of as their mentor. They're a little American Idol parents. Yeah. You're like their dad. I would say, Brandon, if you're good and you know who you are as an artist and you want to go on that show, great. If not, there's 10 million ways to try to make it in music.
Starting point is 01:21:06 If you're good, you'll make it. The cream will rise. The end. That's how it works. If you're good enough, you will get to where you want to get. It's a lot of hard work. So you've got to be good and you've got to be good at continuing to try. But yeah, go for it.
Starting point is 01:21:19 You want to do it? Go for it. Or move to Nashville. Or get online and start singing on Instagram. If you're good, people will be attracted to you. All right, bud. All right, thank you, man. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:28 See, I'll see you later. See, I was firm with him, too. Yeah. Yeah, get off my phone. Just kidding. Jason, you're on the air. What's going on, man? Hey, man.
Starting point is 01:21:38 Hey, I go, I travel all over, like, Arkansas and hot springs and hindlub and all that. And I bring, like, meat and stuff like that to the grocery stores. I want to know, do you think that that's an essential worker because, dollar checked, because they said I wasn't an essential worker? I mean, I think what you do is essential. I think their definition of essential workers is people who have to be, in front of and with a lot of people who could like grocery store workers essential workers because they got to stand there at the register and have a thousand people go right in front of them
Starting point is 01:22:15 they got to work with folks i think you are an essential worker but i'm telling you why they made that rule that grocery store employees are an essential worker they don't want to go into work when the pandemic was happening heck who did we're all scared out of our mind but they did and they had to go in or we wouldn't be able to grocery shop to be honest we wouldn't be able to eat meat if you didn't drop it off I'm on your team. But I do see why they are. But I do think you could. But now it's almost over anyway.
Starting point is 01:22:43 Yeah. You know? You got me like six months ago. I'd have to change the rule. But now, Jason. I'm on your side, bud. I think, you know, we definitely. And, you know, I drove the big rig for four days over the summer.
Starting point is 01:22:58 That's so important to the infrastructure of our country. Getting goods and service from one place to the other. Unless you got people driving trucks, we ain't getting crap. crazy. I didn't even realize how important it was until I did it myself. Jason, appreciate what you do, bud. All right, brother. Thank you, man. All right. See you later. I know I didn't give him what he wanted there.
Starting point is 01:23:16 I couldn't just change a law like that. Yeah, I know. I know. A couple who bought an old school turned it into a mansion. There's a real estate listing in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania that's going viral right now. A couple bought an abandoned elementary school, and it looks exactly like a normal elementary school. flat, you know, all the, it's not two stories, it's just one story beside another, connected in that way with the hallways. So they bought this abandoned elementary school. They refurbished it. It can be yours for $2.4 million. They turned classrooms into bedrooms, which those are some
Starting point is 01:23:48 pretty big bedrooms. Yeah, and a lot of them. Yeah, this is going to be an Airbnb. An arcade living rooms. The old cafeteria is now the kitchen. They refurbished the gym, so you have an indoor basketball court too because they had the basketball court. There's a garage with room for 30 cars. Some of the bathrooms still have urinals in them, but they're nice urinals up against the wall. Overall, you get a house that's more than 14,000 square feet on an 11.4 acre lot. They listed it in August, and it hasn't sold yet.
Starting point is 01:24:19 It is kind of creepy to look at from the outside because it does look like you're going into a school, but it's really cool inside. And it's 2.4 million. Why was I thinking after you said all that, it would be more? Probably because it's a school. It's so big in all that land. I also think because it's in Mount Morris, Pennsylvania, it's not like... Good call.
Starting point is 01:24:39 Sorry. It's in Chicago where that would probably be a $10 million mansion. Sorry, I wasn't thinking of location. Hey, you know, location, location, location. Am I right? You're right. It's weird too because Mike, Mike D, our head writer here, his lifetime dream is to live in a school. Did you guys know this?
Starting point is 01:24:57 No. What? Why does he have that? Yeah, ever since I was... As a kid, I always dreamed about living in a school. I think it's because I grew up in a trailer that was so small, had no space. And I was like, if I could live in a school, I would have room for everything. And so this is what I do.
Starting point is 01:25:09 I look up listings online when schools are for sale. But yeah, they're always in random parts of the country. When schools are, sometimes they just sell a school? Yeah, they'll just sell an old abandoned school to put them up for sale. But it's always a weird part of the country where most people wouldn't want to live. So that's why they're so cheap. How much does schools normally go for? Like 100,000?
Starting point is 01:25:25 And you wouldn't want to move out to somewhere in New Jersey or? There's nothing around it. usually, but the schools are amazing. East Texas, buy you a school. Eventually later in life. We all have weird dreams, and that might be the weirdest one. Michael Jordan's mansion still cannot find a buyer nine years later. Why?
Starting point is 01:25:45 Michael Jordan 58 purchased the Highland Park Estate with his wife in 1991 for $2 million. He initially listed the seven-acre home in 2012 for $29 million, got no offers, nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms. It's now in the market for 14.8. So it went from 29 to 148. And so it's extremely customized, first of all. There's a big old 23 on the gate when you go in. Some of the lawn stuff is about Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 01:26:17 Bushes spell 23. It's 56,000 square feet. What? That's insane. It was newly renovated in 2009. It's got five fireplaces, a gourmet chef's kitchen, numerous skylights, a full, indoor basketball court. This is basically the school.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Horse. Yeah. Additional amenities include a movie theater, cigar room, poker room, wine cellar. There's a separate three-bedroom guest house. He's planted 40-foot evergreen trees that blocked all views from the property, but he won't go down from $14.8 million, so it's sat there
Starting point is 01:26:46 for nine years. After nine years, don't you probably just slowly trickle it down? You may not need to, though. He's just like, whatever, I can keep this for as long as I want until someone buys it, right? I just got to imagine he's having to pay upkeep, though. Yeah, so I am. Constant upkeep.
Starting point is 01:27:00 And that's okay because he's Michael Jordan. It's okay. I guess. I'm going to go over and talk to April in Pennsylvania, who's on the phone. April, thank you for calling the show. How are you today? Hi, good morning. I'm good.
Starting point is 01:27:15 How are you? Doing pretty good. Now, April has called us because she has her own bonehead story of the day that's happened in her life. Now, is that true, April? Don't tell me what it is yet, but is that true? Yes, it's true, and it's still going. on it's not resolved yet. So if I can get you to hold for like three minutes,
Starting point is 01:27:33 I want to tell everybody this story together. I see it. I laughed out loud. So April, can you hold for three minutes, April? Yes, absolutely. All right, back in three minutes with April.

Starting point is 01:31:30 I work from home. And I was just all looking on my phone at Tesla's because they're one of my favorite cars. And you get to like the end after you do all your choices. And you can either put in your card or you can, you know, hit Apple Pay. And I thought of so funny that you can order a car with Apple Pay, which I was not trying to do. I took a screenshot. I was going to send it to my friend. And apparently, because I have an Apple, an iPhone 8 plus, I still have a home button.
Starting point is 01:32:05 When you do a screenshot, it's the home button and the power button. So apparently when I did that, I bought the Tesla because it put in my fingerprint. Yeah. And so I just want $6,000,000. Wait, how much? $67,000. So what are you going to do? How long ago did this happen?
Starting point is 01:32:27 And why are you talking to us right now when you should be gone blowing up Apple or Tesla? Go ahead. Well, because I did try and blow up Tesla, but apparently they're L.A. time at I'm in Pennsylvania, so I can literally do nothing but wait until like 10 o'clock. So I've been sitting here trying to work, trying not to die.
Starting point is 01:32:46 And I'm like, well, I could tell the Bobby Bones show they'd probably appreciate the story. We do appreciate it. I did not. We're also amazed that you can buy a Tesla It's about pushing your phone and going Like I'll take one of those please Apple Pay? You can buy socks
Starting point is 01:32:59 A case of water and a Tesla She owns the car right now I do I do literally I got a confirmation email And the screen was swirling With the Tesla symbol And I'm like well that's weird I didn't buy anything
Starting point is 01:33:15 And then I was like Well I didn't right And I was like well I better go check my bank account And I did sure enough Tesla, there's $100 right out of my account. And then I was like, oh, well, I had a major, like, kind of minor. My heart just fell out of my body. But anyway, so then I immediately called Tesla.
Starting point is 01:33:33 And they're like, hi, we're not open. And it was like, well, thank you very much. So, yeah, I have to wait until 10, I guess, before I can get anyone on the phone. Wait, what's the $100 for? Is that like to hold, yeah, to reserve your Tesla. I mean, Tesla's probably so fast. They probably are about to pull up to your house with it. Look at your window right now.
Starting point is 01:33:57 So, yeah, so I'm kind of freaking out. I'm literally shaking also because I'm talking to you guys. But anyway, it's been a morning and I'm trying to work and get stuff done. And I'm like, well, I have a $67,000 dollar car kind of on its way. Not exactly, but still. I would have to think this happens to a few people and they have a way to get you out of this. Right. If it's that easy, some people accidentally hit something that's.
Starting point is 01:34:21 that easy. Let us know tomorrow if you don't mind April. I would think you're going to be fine. They're going to go, hey, this happens. We'll take it off in the end. Yeah. If not, what color did you get? So, well, I got red because it's my absolute favorite color. And like the red Tesla is like, you have to custom order that color. Oh, gosh. Well, yeah, of course it's going to get red. So, but, yeah, yeah, it's, it's been a morning. Well, thank you for sharing that. us. I think you're going to be okay, but let us know tomorrow, if you don't mind, we'll watch for your call. Let us know how this plays out. I will. Well, it's so awesome to talk to you guys. Yeah, awesome to talk to you too. Good luck. Good luck with your day and we'll talk to you soon,
Starting point is 01:35:05 okay? Thank you. Have a great day. Yeah, you too. Bye-bye. That's crazy. And it's custom. She better hurry before they start painting. We did a mailbag earlier this morning. We're inside the mailbag. They were talking about splitting bills. She said, hey, I just moved in with my boyfriend. He makes a lot more than I do, but I'm living in his house. Like, what's the protocol here? I got a couple voicemails since then. Here is number one about that. What my wife and I did before we got married was she was taking care of all the bills into place. So I became the entertainment. She paid for all of everything that was for the house. And I paid for all our dates and all
Starting point is 01:35:47 our trips and everything else. And it worked out really, really well because she made a lot more money than I did. That's the way we split it up. That's interesting if it works that way. I could feel me if I were him being like, you know, let's not do fancy night out. Let's just cook tonight. Yeah. There'd be a lot of money manipulation with me being able to control that.
Starting point is 01:36:06 Here's second. Number two. My getting married, I mean, that's a pretty big commitment in itself. So I feel like bills wouldn't be that big a deal when you're planning on spending your life with someone. And just put all the money together and, you know, everyone contribute what you can and do your best and, you know, love each other well. It's good luck. It's a sweet version of life. But money is often the thing that splits people up or creates division, even in happy marriages.
Starting point is 01:36:39 We always read that. What's the number one thing? Kids, money. Sometimes money, kids. Sometimes kids cost money. Sometimes they're the same. So that's great. If you can live your life like that, that's fantastic.
Starting point is 01:36:50 but I'm a big believer in defining the rules so you know how to play the game. Yeah, and once they're married, maybe they could... Which box doesn't? They don't. We don't. It's so crazy to me. That's right.
Starting point is 01:37:00 But not crazy in a bad way. It's just like yelving together for so long and she pays you. Yeah, she pays me. I mean, that's how it works. I do 70%, 30% she does 30%. But she doesn't know how much you make. Right. But I know how much she makes.
Starting point is 01:37:17 And so, I mean, I feel like I do a fair judgment. and charge of the right amount of price. And then also, I guess we maybe addressed this, but with the kids, because y'all have kids, who pays for what with the kids? When it's split? Well, he pays for the older ones because he's 70% older. They're just like the electricity bill.
Starting point is 01:37:33 Oh, same thing. Okay. Yeah, I guess so. No, I get it. I know. Yes, this is very different. You were getting into some bird feeding, huh? Oh, yeah, no, bird watching.
Starting point is 01:37:45 I mean, I feed them so they come to me so I can watch them. When I was at your house, show me where the feeders hang. Yes. It's not about feeding them. It's about watching them. Well, yes, of course I enjoy feeding them, but all the different birds that come to eat, I get to see them.
Starting point is 01:38:00 And it's really awesome. And I got a laminated pamphlet with all the birds in Tennessee. So I'm pretty excited about it. So you can identify what the bird is? Yeah. And I'm going to start keeping track of all the different ones I see. I mean, a few of them that's going to be impossible. They're not coming to my backyard.
Starting point is 01:38:16 They're a little more. Ostridge? Wild. But. I do want to start making note of all the different... I don't even know what you call it, like brands of birds. I'm sure it's not that. Birds is the species, but then what's the name, the type?
Starting point is 01:38:31 I don't know. I'm going to start keeping track. I know nothing about birds. It would be like a dog breed, but for birds. And I don't know that birds interest me terribly. If I see a cardinal, they're really red. Or a Blue Jay. Blue Jays are cool.
Starting point is 01:38:45 Because I'm like, there's the baseball teams. They come visit me. Yeah. Oh, and. I haven't even told you the best part. Oh, there's more. This is like an infomercial. And there's more.
Starting point is 01:38:54 I got a hummingbird feeder from my birthday. Hummingbirds are pretty cool. Really cool. Yeah, because they're so small. But they haven't migrated here yet, I don't think. They're on their way. She's the falchia birds. I'm going to fill it up with the whatever liquid I'm supposed to put in there, water with whatever.
Starting point is 01:39:11 And then they're going to come visit me and it's going to be awesome. Listen, I used to not be into birds either. Something in my life took me there. though and I'm glad I'm glad I'm there. At Amy's house it's a bird feeder and puzzles. Yes. Oh boy. There's a puzzle on the table.
Starting point is 01:39:25 There's a bird finger hay, feed hanging in the backyard. Right out the window so you can do both at the same time. This is 40 kids. Tonight at 8 Central, my Twitch show goes up. It's an hour from my house. It's basically a TV studio we've built on that thing now. Oh, I gotta download that app. You can watch it on the app.
