Yeah, welcome, welcome, welcome. Boy, Studio. Morning. Hey, Colleen and St. Louis. Good morning to you. Hi, I'm so excited to talk to you. I listen every morning. Thank you very much.

What would you like to say? Well, this is kind of random, but I just want to say you guys need to stop picking on Eddie about being a helicopter dad. He sounds like a great dad, and we only get one shot at this parent thing, and he's trying to do the best he can, and someday they're going to be big, loppy, grown-ass teenagers, and he won't have any control. And I just think he sounds like the best daddy, and he's just trying to protect his kids. I love it. Colleen. Eddie, caller of the day.

We just started the show. Colleen, may I offer you a rebuttal? Oh, don't disagree with me, but... Colleen, may I offer you a rebuttal? Just in fairness, okay, Colleen? Fair enough. If we ever pick on anyone on this show, it's because we feel so comfortable with them

that we feel like we can playfully make fun of them. Ever, that's... If they're making fun of me, although you guys do get on me a little too hard, sometimes I feel... Sometimes we do. But that's okay. If we make fun of each of,

other, it's really just out of love. Okay, good. If it was really angry, we just wouldn't do it. Yeah. They would be out, like, all sincerity, they'd be out of the room. So anytime you hear that's messing, that's what it is, it's messing with each other. Okay, well, I don't understand this helicopter parent thing because, let me tell you, someday you won't have any control, and if you need to monitor, I snooped and snooped and,

oh God, cooop. Well, I believe you, but I'm just saying we mess with anybody on this show. that's what. Hey, but listen, Colleen, I appreciate you. Thank you very much for calling. Bobby Booms. Recognizing people, doing cool things. It's ICU. A good Samaritan named Tony approached Tegan Langley,

who was parked in her car to McDonald's. And he said, hey, your tires are, when I'm flat, just so you know I want to give you. She said, hey, listen, my tires are bad. Thank you very much. And so she said, we can get a repair, about I don't have the money to get them repaired. So he said, hey, follow me,

and they went over to the Bridgestone tire and he paid 500 bucks and bought her new tires and bailed out. I was like, that's it. Just thought you could use this. That's awesome. Just went up to her and said, hey, I didn't give a flat. She goes, hey, now my tires are bad.

He said, hey, she got can't for her and boom. Next thing you know he bought her new tires. Is he real? And then he disappeared into the North Pole. He turned a circle and glitterick fell and there you go. That's an ICU, and that's pretty awesome. I see you. The Bobby Bones Show.

Big three stories. It's producer Raymond in Arlington, Virginia at a military base. At least 11 people reportedly suffered minor injuries. They had burning sensations in their nose. They opened a letter and it had a suspicious material in it. Authorities are still investigating the situation. In airline news, United Airlines flight from Newark to L.A. was forced to make an emergency landing.

Pilots noticed smoke in the cockpit. The plane did land safely and there were no injuries. And finally, in weather news, tons of rain. from Texas to Maine today and tomorrow. Strong storms in Arkansas as well. Careful on those roads. Let's go. During this story about the average age that people get married,

what do you think the average age of a groom is? The man. 29. 31. See, when I read this, I feel like maybe I'm not that out of touch. Like, I'm 37. So I go, that's not crazy. I always feel like I'm just lost.

gone. Way out there. There's no hope. Sometimes I feel like there's no hope. I'm 37. That's not absolutely nuts compared to this. So it's an article on Reddit where they talk about the average people are getting married. The average age of a bride is 29. The average age of a groom is

31. Oh, okay. A couple spent an average of $33,000 on their weddings. That's the average. That's the average. Some people are spending way more than that. Yeah, but half of that goes toward the venue. I can't believe a place costs that much.

And weddings are now focused on guests more because couples are doing all these things to make it a super memorable experience for the attendees because no one wants to have a bad wedding. So they're just trying to put on a show for everybody else more than themselves. Yeah, because now there's hashtags and people can check out what kind of a night it was. Hashtags are free at least.

Well, I know, but you've got to make sure if people click on the hashtag, it looks like it was a good time. You know, I didn't think about it like that, but yes. Spending on guest entertainment's tripled in the last few years. Photo boots, sparklers, selfie stations, the music that comes in. You know, it's just, I think about that part of it, I'd probably get that free. What do you mean? I'm probably just going to ask a friend, one of these, my buddies, who's an artist,

to come and play a song or two. Oh, well, yeah, you have access to that. Yeah, saving money already. Probably going to do it in the radio station. Oh, yeah, right here. On the air. have it sponsored by you know Napa

Dollar Shave Club We're gonna rock this thing out Make money to get married Actually yes Now we're talking Not just have it sponsored But yeah I don't image

Can actually laser me during the wedding Yeah Catered by Blue Apron Yes For sure I'm never gonna get married So we can make all the jokes Yeah

But I did think that Since the average male was 31 That didn't make me seem Such an alien because I do feel like an alien sometimes. Yeah. No, there's still hope.

You're good. Thank you very much. I mean, yeah, look at George Clooney. Yeah, but look at George Clooney. I rest my case. Thank you very much. Time for your positivity. A little tell me something good.

A Colorado couple who had a $3 million jackpot in November 2017. They're celebrating again after winning a $200,000 jackpot just a few months ago. Wow. The Colorado lottery identifies the couple as Paul M. and Chris. And now they've won $3,200,000. Oh, my goodness. That is so awesome. Amy.

So a mom was on a flight from Hawaii to L.A.X. Long flight by herself with a toddler and a baby. And her baby was screaming, crying. There's nothing she could do to calm the baby down, walking up and down the aisle. So a flight attendant went up to her and said, you know what? Do you mind if I give it a try? Mom was a little reluctant, but she was at her wits in, so she handed the baby over, and the flight attendant was able to sue the baby and get it to sleep.

So the entire plane was like, yeah. They all cheered the baby. You woke back up. No, it was just really cool, the flight attendant to go above and beyond. Lunchbox. Kate was looking for a cool way to ask this dude Brian to prom, so she took to Twitter because she knew he's a big Steelers fan. She reached out to one of the wide receivers on the Steelers and said,

hey, can you help me asking to prom? Ju-Ju-Smith Schuster said, yeah, give me his number. FaceTime him and said, hey, Brian, why don't you go to prom with Kate? And Brian said, oh, yeah, yeah, that's pretty cool. That is cool. That's cool him to do that. What's his name? Juju Smith Schuster.

Not Clinton Haha Dix. Yeah. That's another cool name. I wish I was my name. If I could make another radio name be Haha Bones. Okay, there you go. That's good news. There's a woman who spent 19,000.

on a kidney transplant for a cat. That's a lot of love for that cat right there. The cat's 17 years old too. Oh, wow. It's almost like giving a 97-year-old man a new foot. Yeah. A $19,000 foot. So here's where my mind goes to this.

I don't ever want to tell people what do with their own money. Now, I start to weigh it, though, because if I'm a multi-multimillionaire and I love this cat, $19,000 really doesn't. doesn't affect me that much. So I want to know how much she makes. If I'm broke and I'm taking out a loan for this, I go, ooh. But even then again, it's not my money.

I can have an opinion, but it's not right because it's not my money. Betsy Boyd is her name. She earns $46,000 a year as a part-time writing professor. And she paid $19,000. And you know what? If she loves something that much and she can afford it, do it. I just can't hate on somebody who loves something. It's crazy.

It is crazy to go. But $19,000. I feel like she's just a lonely woman and just can't let go over cat. And isn't that okay, though? No, get another cat. I don't think it's that easy. Yeah, it's hard. And I don't know.

Cats, can they live to be 30? No. No. No, I don't know how long they live. Me neither, but, oh, it's going to be rough. It stinks, though, right? Or it dies in surgery. Oh, my goodness.

You know what, I'm still, I'm on her team cat. I want team cat, right? Keep Boobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Edgewater, Florida. A man went outside because he wanted to mow his lawn, but he couldn't find his lawnmower. And he goes, I know it.

The neighbor stole it. I can feel it in my gut. So instead of going over and knocking on their door or calling the cops, he lit their corvette on fire. Oh, wow. Turns out the lawnmower was in his backyard. What? Oh. Double wow.

You should think before you do stuff like that. No, you just shouldn't lie people's cars on fire. Yeah. Oh, I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Oh, what a bonehead. Get your Bobby Bones on. By the way, lunchbox said he's really looking forward to Survivor, the new season, huh?

Oh, yeah. Tonight, can't wait. You love that show still, huh? Let me tell you, it is so good. Bobby, you would love it. It's all about strategy and gameplay and stabbing people in the back. and it's just, it's a very smart person game. I've seen it before.

It's been off for years. Yeah, 30 years, maybe. 30 years. Not 30 years, like 30 seasons, maybe. 26 seasons, something like that. But this one is called Survivor, Ghost Island. Lunchbox sent me a note and he said, I like to do a segment.

I was like, what's that segment? He goes, it's called I'm looking forward to and I want to talk about Survivor. And I said, okay, cool. I mean. Whatever you want, man. But no, he wants to do a segment when we go around the room,

say I'm looking forward to blank. I think it's pretty good segment. Yes, because people have to have things they're looking forward to in their life. I'm not hating on you at all. Thank you. Eddie was heading on me. A little bit. All right, so I'm looking forward to blank. Lunchbox says, I am looking forward to Survivor.

Ghost Island. Amy, I'm looking forward to. Spring break. For the kids? Yeah. Or for you. You're going to leave them and go wet and wild. She's going to stop high.

No, we'll still be working, right? Because this is my first spring break with kids, so I don't really know. Yeah. Yeah, we work every spring break, Amy. So we work. We're not taking anything. So we're not going to really go anywhere, but I think my husband and I are going to try to plan some day trips for them. for them, you know?

But then I'll come back for work, don't worry. Spring break, sort of. So looking forward to us from me. Eddie, our producer, Eddie? Summer, the heat, the beach, the waves, everything. Eddie does the Aloha sign. The hangars on the beach. I hate the winter, guys.

Like, I can't wait for the warm sun to come out. What about you? I'm looking forward to going back on the road, doing stand-up comedy. I haven't been on the road in two months. So I start back in March. Got that itch? Oh, big time.

I ordered some stuff for the stage, too. I thought you meant for your itch. No. I didn't too. I was like, I get rid of own. Yeah. I'm excited. Like a pyro?

It's not pyro, but it's something cool that's on the stage. It just makes it a little more official. So, yeah, I'm looking forward. Dry ice. Yeah, you never know. Dry ice. It'd be like an Aldeincho, boom. Mike D's putting dry ice in a bucket back there for smoke.

But if you're in Tampa or Florence, South Carolina, or Albuquerque, Colorado Springs, I'm coming. Hopefully I'm coming in hot. Yeah. Yeah, Bobby Bonescom.com, where all the tickets are. Bobbybonescom. Raymond, what are you looking forward to? March Madness, baby. Yeah.

And it's coming to Nashville this year. Really? Yeah, first and second round. I got to log traffic. Middle of March. Anything happening in town, it's all about traffic with Amy. Yesterday we're like, hey, the vice president's coming to town. Great.

I'm like, wow, just traffic. Well, I'm always, like, if there's soccer tournaments, the Titans have a game, the Preds have a game. You just got to know where you're going, what time everything is. and you can navigate. Because one time Trump came to town, I was going to be late to work. I didn't know the president was in town

and I was like, why am I stuck in traffic right now? Almost was late. Wow. You don't mind that. Morgan number two, our 24-year-old, she was talking about Snapchat dysmorphia. Have you heard of this, Amy? I have.

It's a thing. Oh, you know. Morgan, tell everybody else. So essentially it's people using Snapchat filters and they're telling their doctors what they want based on Snapchat filters for plastic surgery to become the filters. So they filter their face and it makes you look beautiful and they take that shot into the doctor

and they go, make me look like the Snapchat filter. That's insane. Well, so at least though, I'm kind of saying at least it's a version of themselves-ish. Doctors were saying they got people bringing in Kim Kardashian or whomever being like, make me look like Kim. But now it's like make me look like my filtered self. That's still crazy. The first person to do that, they go into the doctor with a picture of themselves with a filter.

They're like, doctor, make me look like this with the hard eyes. Filters are amazing. And they're addicting and they're scary. Put the puppy tongue on me, doctor. With the little ears and the smooth skin. Yeah. It's, I mean, man, I don't want to be a kid these days. I do

Too old, too fast, man Here are my favorite three songs right now People often ask for my musical taste And I am America's mentor, you know, I am So I like to share my music with them I know, I'm going to write them down Yeah, song number one I have three songs I really love right now

David Lee Murphy, everything's going to be all right Here's this one here I play the thing How good at that? I love it I'm not corn muffin Korn muffin Korn muffin fits in so many songs

Yeah, turn it up It's going to be All right All right, Kenny, take it away I nod in my head and said that's for sure Dropped a few butts in the mason jar That's a good old neon That's a good one

Okay, how about this one? This is Anderson East Who's going to be performing in studio tomorrow I love the whole record but here is a If you keep leaving me Hit that one It's a good song

If you keep leaving me Love in you Love the record Love this song By the way I saw him Rain and Lamber broke up You see that? Really? They did?

Whoa Yeah I don't know anything about it We can't bring that up tomorrow Well I don't care to bring it up I know You wouldn't have even brought it up If they were together

So we definitely shouldn't bring it up Especially if it's fresh Yeah I don't know much about it but he's coming in tomorrow. I love the album. Yeah, I just saw that last night. Oh, man. And then finally Dave Barnes.

And I love this whole record. And Dave Barnes wrote God gave me you that Blake Shelton sang. He wrote Craving You from Marin Morris. And this is Dave Barnes here. Hit that song. It's called Chase in Dreams. He came in with Kelsey Ballerini.

Remember during our St. Jude Radiathon, Kelsey did God gave me you, which he wrote, and you came and played guitar with her. Yeah. So we've met him briefly. He did my Bobbycast, but I'm going to see if he wants to come in. But that whole record is good. That's what I'm listening to right now.

Hey, what's this is still about Amy's Elephant Titus and your thumb? I don't know. My thumb's growing. Like, it's subtle. You wouldn't know it. But I mean, I showed it to Mike D. Morgan, number two, look at my thumb. Yeah, it's huge.

Compared to the other one, it's just growing. I don't know what's happening. And it's sort of painful, but it's just... Hold on, hold on. Don't you think it may be just swelling instead of growing? But why? What did I do to it? An ant bite.

I mean, there are a lot of variables. I don't see a bite. It's just starting, like, I'm going to be concerned. Pretty much, you know how we Google things. So basically, I'm probably going to have to amputate my thumb. And so you Googled in it said you had elvititis in your thumb? Yeah. It's going to get really big to the point where I can't write.

Lunchbox, look at her thumb, lunchbox. Tell me what's wrong with it. Look how much bigger it is. Oh, man, that is really bad. Diagnosed me. Look, it's getting bigger. Is it really? Which one's big?

Oh, my goodness. Oh, that was bigger. I thought the other one was bigger. Are you joking? You're good. I mean, it may be a little red. It's not, he's, he can't, I'm, I'm worried, hey, I'm worried about his vision. Okay, stop with the hands, eh?

No, I, oh, did you hear that? Yeah, you popped your knuckles. You popped your knuckles. That's not elephant tides. Bob it bono show. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny. Happy birthday to Jason Aldeen.

Today he turns 40. one years young. Huh. Do you feel like Jason Alldy's older than that? No, I don't. I feel like he's younger than that. Really? Mm-hmm.

Why, you? He's kind of ageless to me. Yeah, his skin? I feel like he almost looks younger than he did five years ago. Yeah, I just don't want to assign an age to him. All the earrings and the hats and accessories kind of keep him from aging. I hope that happens with me. What else?

Paul Walker is getting his own documentary called I Am Paul Walker. You know, he passed away in 2013 from a crazy car crash. And the documentary is just going to have an in-depth look into his life, his acting. It's from the same people that did Heath Ledger and John F. Kennedy, Jr. Yeah, the Heath Ledger one was sad. I saw that one. Oh, I haven't seen it. Would you recommend it? Yeah, but it's sad. Okay. I'm interested in the JFK one.

I'm not. I don't really think about JFK Jr. Junior. Like, JFK, you know what I want to see is that Versacee, set of TV shows. Oh, on A&E. Versailles? The same people who, no, no, no. The same people who did the OJ Simpson documentary,

the real, they did a Versacee, the murder of Versacee. Yeah. Oh, I want to see that. And you know what came out, I believe yesterday was the Tupac and Biggie murder show. On A&E. Or TNT, one of those channels. Yeah, a lot of good stuff out there. Okay, is that it?

Yep, I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds skinny. The Morning Corny. Why didn't the policemen want to get out of bed? Why didn't the policemen want to get out of bed? Because it was an undercover cop. Thank you. There you go.

That was the morning corny. On the Bobby Bones show now. Jayco, yay. Yeah, clap your hands for our buddy, Jay. Hey, man. Where do we start? What's up, man? There's just a lot going on with you right now.

There's a lot going on. I feel like a couple things. one in the last year or so you and I've gotten to be better friends and we already were personally but also I listen to your podcast and I learned so much about you on that podcast too that I feel like I know you even more than I should oh yeah you know I mean are you feeling that for the podcast people go dude I didn't know this about you yeah I like the uh I like the fact that I can kind of I'm a pretty open book anyways with most of my life that it's it's kind of nice to open up a little more um on just with the people that are involved in my life not so

much me all the time. I get to talk to other people that inspire me. So, I like that aspect of it. Jake Owens here. It's got the good company podcast. Got this new song we've been playing every hour today. Which, by the way, I was Jack, you were Diane. Dan Aaron.

You're not talking me through this for a second. So when you do, first of all, how does this all come together in your mind? In my mind? Yeah, because if you have this song, obviously Jack and Diane's in it and it's called I was Jack How does this all come together?

It's a delicate situation This song But it was this whole story From a friend of mine That it had started this song A few years ago And thought man How do we use this track

And actually get away with it But the way the music has kind of come They rewrote with Craig Wiseman Craig happens to be over there Big Loud obviously He threw me the song And it was kind of full circle the way that it came about.

I just wonder because you go, man, what a risk to take a song that's already been, because you hear Jack and Diane so heavily in the song. And the title of it's Jack and Diane. Yeah. That you got to go, whew, this is a big, by the way, I love the song. I told you that before you came in. Yeah, thanks. But I just wonder how your mind wraps that.

Do you go forward? Is it worth taking a big risk like this? You're starting at a new label, like all those things. Yeah, I don't know. I think life's about taking risks. and I thought about that the other day. I would not be in Nashville if I didn't one day for some weird reason call my parents on the phone,

which is something I talked about in one of my podcasts to my dad, actually. I just remember one day, I just had a feeling. And I said, as much as I love Tallahassee and as much as I loved playing bars with my friends and stuff and abandoned Tallahassee, I wanted something more. I wanted to try something different. And I called my parents on the phone and told him I was leaving in Tallahassee moved to Nashville and that was

14, 15 years ago. So here we are today and putting a song out like this, yeah, it might be a little bit of a risk or a chance, but to me it's kind of an ode to Jack and Diane the song originally. And for me, growing up as a kid, I like songs that make you

feel young and songs that make you remember life. And Jack and Diane was the original song story of two American kids growing up in the That song still feels good too. When Jack and Diane comes on, Two Chili, Tucking on Chili Dog, outside it tastes to freeze.

Like, it's still the jam to everybody. Yeah. And when I heard the song, it felt like a new warm blanket. Wow. Oh. Yeah, it was new. It's like the cool side of the pillow. Well, if it's a new pillow. Right. Because it felt comfortable without it being a new song that I was having to adjust to. Right. If that made sense. It was still a new show. Yeah. No, it took me a minute to be, I will, I'll be honest, I think I told you this on a text that I had to be careful, you know, I don't want to be the guy that it's like, who's this guy ruining this classic song? But I really, I was a fan of the way it was written and, and I like the fact that it kind of pays homage to that song. It was back when you and I, like, the, whoever it is,

that people put themselves in songs throughout life. They, they, they, they, um, I was listening earlier today to Cole Swindell's new song about when we break up in the end. I thought, wow, I put myself in that song. I thought, man, there's been people I've been with in my life and I'd probably go back and do it all over

to be where I am now. So same with this song. I mean, you put yourself as a person in certain situations and songs, and I put myself in Jack and Diane, and I think this is kind of back to when I was Jack and you were dying. Is John Mellencamp a writer on this song?

He is. They gave him writers credit which they definitely should have. I mean, this is his melody and everything. Did you talk to him and get his... I haven't talked to him personally, but he did approve this message. John Mellencamp approves this message, yeah. Is that something that they felt like they had to reach out to?

Or could they have done it anyway? I think it's proper, you know, it's the right thing to do. And they did. They reached out to him and said, you need to hear this. This is cool. And to our surprise, actually, he said, yeah, he said he loved it. And so we're making the video cure pretty shortly,

and he actually gave us a lot of rights to use some of the original Jack and Diane footage. Oh, that's really cool. Yeah, and so it's really cool. It's a big deal. My, Jake Owen is here. Got this new song, which I do like, and I heard it the first time. I was on an airplane. Listen song.

And I didn't reply back because I was on an airplane, and then I forgot to reply for like two days. And Jake's like, using the song sucks, don't you? No, you said. I was like, no. First off, first off, we'll back it up. We'll back it up. I've heard you say multiple times, man, you don't like to hear songs early.

I don't. But you wanted the way that everybody else gets to, like, the people, you know? But the radio people were, already getting it. Okay. Well, you text me were like, am I going to get to hear this song or what? Because you already sent it out to people. I haven't sent it to anyone.

But radio people all had it, and it was like, hey. And I, no, and to be fair, I'd heard it already at the music summit. They played it over the top. Yeah. So, right, didn't you guys play this? Yeah, I'd heard it already. and I want, yeah, you can call me out, but it's not the same because I'd already heard it. Yeah, well, so I sent it and, but you, when you said, don't, and I like the preface, you said,

hey, I'm going into a meeting or something. I was shooting an idol. Yeah. That's what it was. And I was like, hey, if I don't apply back, don't take it personally. I didn't take it personally. I just want to know what you thought. Yeah, I felt like, I'm glad you liked it.

I do like, and I wouldn't, I wouldn't have told you I did it. I actually love it. Thanks, man. I think it's a really fun song. I'm excited. I really am. This is a big time in my life. And being with a new label, I've got a new tour that we're getting ready to kick off this summer.

New music. I mean, it's just like a different place in my life. My hair is getting a little bit longer. New hair. Who does? Yeah. Yeah, man, lots of things are good. I mean, I'm pretty, I just feel I'm like a happy person.

I've spent most of my time now, like, searching for arrowheads out on my farm, you know, free time. and so. On the Bobby Bones show now. By the way, when you go out this year, you have Chris Jansen out with you. Yes, good dude. Good dude. Great entertainer. Yeah.

He actually texted me the other day and said, hey man, I just, I wanted to let you know. It was after the tour announcement he came out. He said, thanks for having me out. This is going to be great. And I told him, I said, man, look, I'm excited to have him out because of how much better it'll make not just myself, but the guy's in the band. because of how great of what you just said. He's a great entertainer.

He's got a lot of integrity with the kind of music he makes. But when someone goes on before you and lights the stage on fire, I mean, it's hard to follow that. So it's a good thing. I mean, it's inspiring to have him out there. So it'll be fun. We have Jordan Davis with us as well.

So he's got a great beard. He does. He does. Both of those things are really good. So, yeah, it'll be good. What else are going on with you? Did you get a new house? Do you move from that one you were selling on the internet?

Dude, yeah, I did. I did. I sold that house. I'm not lying to you. I live in a tiny house right now. It's 400 square feet. And I love it. It's made me...

It's a legit tiny house, like from tinyhouse.com? Yeah, I have a tiny house. What? So are you... Yeah. Are you putting your roots... This isn't a joke. Are your roots into your tiny house?

Or is that just a temporary? Am I what? No, no, no. So what happened is... What had happened is I sold my house, not thinking it was going to sell that fast. I put it on the market on a Monday. It sold on a Wednesday.

they wanted to be in basically by Christmas. So I'd already bought this piece of property, which is really a dream for me, because I've always, you know, moving up here, I thought if I ever get to a point where I have my own piece of property, and it's just like a place I could raise my family and daughter, whatever. And I have that now, but what I don't have on it is a place to live until I build it, which that takes time.

But I looked into those tiny homes and got one out there. They drive it out to you? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it was like, it's amazing. amazing to see your house like coming at you. You know what I mean? Like it's like coming down the road right towards you.

And what do you put in there? What's in your house? I literally, I have a little couch. You're so not tiny though. I know, but I got it. I don't know. I've just,

it's really, I don't know. I like going through scenarios like this in my life. It teaches me like certain things. And I realize, I mean, I have a lot of junk that I've just acquired over years. And now I don't really

I don't have all that. By the way, I say this, I do this podcast from my house, and we have a hundred some episodes, everybody from Stapleton to Karen Fairchild, I mean, the biggest writers, you were far and away like five times

the next person, hundreds of thousands of downloads. Why? Of the podcast when you came to my house. Well, because we got into a huge fight. It wasn't a fight, though, man, and that's what I've always enjoyed about talking to you. Is it like, sometimes, like, you just got I feel like I'm a pretty real person. Sometimes it will a fault. You know what I mean?

But I like interaction with you, like talking to you, man. Because, like, we both live lives where people perceive you one way and they don't really know you. You know what I mean? Does that make sense? Sure. So we kind of got into that. And I think that's what people, like, you kind of, you're like people like, people like

vulnerability. I think it's. Well, and we went at it both being vulnerable. Yeah. But it came out in the end, though. I mean, it's precious. We were better from it. It was precious, dude.

We were cold. came out of diamond. Yeah, it was good. But it has hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of downloads. Really? Does anyone ever saying anything to you about that podcast? Yeah, I see it on my Twitter and stuff a lot. People saying that they just caught up on that one. They're like, whoa, that got real.

But Mike D. was there that day live and live. He didn't know to keep doing it. He thought you were going to leave. He did? Yeah. Where's Mike D? Is he in here? Didn't you? Hey, Mike D. Can you hear me? Mike D, you were there live for it. It was like... Whenever Jake and I were talking about during the podcast, So you think it was the weirdest thing ever?

Yeah. Did you want to leave? Yeah, a little bit. He said afterward, he goes, I didn't know what to do. Should I walk out? Man, now we're good. Yeah. So anything else going on?

I don't know. What else is going on? What else is going on? I'm just asking. You have to come up with anything. I just want to personally. Honestly, honestly, the best thing that's going on in my life is the fact that I'm genuinely happy. I think that's the most important thing in anyone's life is to just be at a place where you can literally

wake up and go to sleep every day and just go wow like this was a great day i'm pretty happy to be alive i've got lots of good things going on in my life like i said i mean take the music side out of it and new new single and all that feels good but i have a really awesome healthy five-year-old little girl that literally makes me smile like every single day um she in school now she is she starts kindergarten this coming this coming here um but uh my family i just got back from pebble beach when i played the uh i saw you hit some of the golf ball i did hit someone with a golf ball. I didn't do it on purpose though.

But my dad... No, my dad was caddian for me, so that's cool. You know, he's a cancer survivor, so do you see him right next to me on the world's most beautiful golf course? Lots of good things, man. But you hit someone with a golf ball? Yeah, I did. That was the second time at that tournament that I hit someone with a golf ball.

This one wasn't as bad as the first time, though. Luckily, that was before everyone was videoing all the time. But I got that guy good. And he was cool. about it. It hit his head. Are these people just standing in the wrong? Yes, that's what's... No, they're standing in the right place. He hit it... It was twice in the same course.

No, no, no, no, no. Wait a second. They weren't somewhere they weren't supposed to be. No, they were just standing there as, but as patrons in the gallery. And the gallery. And I don't say this arrogantly, but I mean, I'm a pretty good golfer. And so the shot I hit that hit the lady this year was not that bad of a shot. I hit it like 10 yards right of the green. and it wasn't, I mean, it was, and it kind of hit her right in the middle of the chest. Oh my goodness.

Yeah. What? Did she not see that coming? Yeah, it was crazy. No, I mean, how could he, she didn't move? I don't know. I said four. Because I've seen it had to hit her from behind.

Like, it hit her straight on. Like, she's like, oh, there's a golf ball. Yeah. I mean, that happened to me once with a football, but. The video, like, someone posted this video, I walked up. I felt terrible. I mean, you never want to hit someone with anything, much less a golf ball. And I said, I'm really sorry.

I was like, I'm not a good golfer, but I'm a pretty good golfer. You know, I just said that to be nice. And her husband chimed in. He's like, yeah, we know. Seriously. Yeah, that's a funny video. I thought you were proud to be a little hurt by him going, yeah, we know. I was.

I didn't let anybody know about that. But I was a little bummed out. The guy said, no, we know you're not a good golfer. And I almost went from like, you know, man, I was just really nice to your wife to like, let's go. You know? It's you and me right now. Let's do this. By the way, I text Jake, I say, hey, come in.

Don't worry about bringing the guitar. Just come in, we'll talk. And he's like, oh, thank God. That's how I read it. You did? Yeah, because... No, I have... Dude, I...

I know you beat yourself up before you come in and play, because you're like, what am I going to play? It needs to be perfect. No, well, not only for myself, but honestly, I mean, dude, that's what's so great about music these days, this day and age. Every person you have come on here is so great. They're awesome.

So you're like, man, I want to, Like, if I go on there, it's not, it's like, for me, I just want to be great. And I want to be, I want to compete with people around me that are in this town that are as great as they, like, I hear him on your show all the time. You're very competitive. And you're competitive about knowing more covers than anybody else. I know a lot of those. Yeah. But again, if I say, hey, Craig Campbell's like with the greatest, you're like, no, he's not I am.

No, he's great. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, cool. What do you call him that Craig Campbell, like the cover champion of the world? No, we play stump Craig Campbell. Stump, that's what we do. See, he's like, same thing, though. I mean, he played down there on Broadway for so long that you've got to be able to do that. But Jake just, he wants it to be like Stumped Jake Owen.

And they're both awesome at it. And I honestly don't know who's better, but I know it bothers Jake a little bit when someone says they're better than him and knowing all the songs. It bothers me when anyone says they're better at me in anything. That's true. Like, it's, I mean, I just some of that kind of person. I wish I wasn't. I was talking to. Name.

Luke Brian off the other day. And he said... Paul McCartney told me it's not cool to drop names. Okay, well, cool. Luke goes, that Jake,

he's so competitive about him knowing every song. He said, we sat around a campfire and we just gave up because Jake knew all the songs. True or false. We did do that. That's true.

True story. Yeah, that was in British Columbia. We were fishing. Dirk's just like... Ah, name drop. Name drop. Name drop. Yeah.

else was there. Well, this was it that same. Wasn't that Peyton Manning there too? I didn't say that. You did. Name drop! Yeah, he was, man. He was.

Just the four of y'all? Yeah. Randy Houser was there last year. Name drop! Trying to think who else I can name drop. Do you know what the drop is? Let's see how musical you are. That drop?

Do you know what that's from? I did notice that the first time. Name drop! Just a drop. It's a beat. Beastie Boys. Is that sabotage? No.

Doesn't matter. No. I just wonder if you recognized it. It sounded like you, actually. That's Ray doing name. That's Beastie Boys doing Drop. Name Drop! I don't know that song.

I have to do that, though, because I name drop, and I'm such a douche that I have to acknowledge my duchiness. Yeah. If you acknowledge it. At least you do, though. You eight mile yourself, that's why I say. That's right. All right.

Hey, thanks for having me. Glad you, glad you. Jake's checking himself out. He's like, hey, I'm out. Let's end on the high note. Yeah, good to see you. But this song's really good. I'm happy for you.

I haven't seen Amy. I haven't been in here since you've had your kids. So congratulations on that. Thank you. I follow through the morning show. And it's pretty cool to hear you like your transition into motherhood. It's pretty awesome. Thanks.

I'll take any parenting advice that you've got. Don't ask me. You have a daughter. I do, but, you know. Jay going song's out today I was Jack you or Diane

sincerely it's always great to have you in here thanks man it's always good to be here and just like every time we talk we go down all the roads we went there

happy make fun sad yes fight hug keep going all that yeah

we'll see you next time Jake going everybody yeah yeah Bobby bones show Amy's a new mom she has a 10 year old

and a 7 year old that's hard I mean how you're a new mom with a 10 and a 7 and a 7 year old, but she's adopted two children. How long they've been in here now? Two months. Man, it feels like two years, huh? Mm-hmm.

Wow. Carmen. I can check my gray hair. Hi. Hey, what would you like to tell Amy? I just wanted to tell Amy. Hi, Amy. Hi. Don't worry so much about it or don't spend your time and money on these how-to books and stuff. I think that you just need to follow your heart and think about

what your mom would have done in those situations. And you, honey, will be just, fun because I listen to you all every morning and you are one of these sweetest, most compassionate people. And I have not even met you. I can just tell it by the way you are on the air. And I just don't think you need all that extra stuff. I think you're going to be a wonderful mom. Carmen, in regards to your comment about Amy being sweet and compassionate, as sweet as she sounds on the radio, even sweeter in person. Oh, stop. No, no, I'm serious, Carmen. I can be not sweet. I totally believe that. I'm telling you the truth, Carmen.

Best person ever been around. I believe you. You make me, I'm a crocheter. I do crochet. It's kind of like knitting, but I crochet. And you just made, I just wanted to crochet your kids, all these things, because I know that, I know, you know that you're here and they're new here. And so, I don't know, just hearing you do that and your compassion for those kids and the love that you have for those kids that, it blows my mind.

and I'm just amazed by you every day, and I think that you are going to be super awesome. Yeah, I'm amazed by you, too. Thank you. Somebody say something bad about me quick. No, you're accurate, Carmen. Thank you for the call. I appreciate you.

Hope you have a good day. Amy, what do you have to say? Now, I know your situation's different because you have two older kids, and I'm sure you have to read a lot of books about... I'm all about all the how-to books and podcasts. I can't just follow my heart on some of the stuff because I'm dealing with kids that are coming from an abandonment, orphanage type situation.

They are older. They haven't always been in a loving, nurturing home. So I do need outside help and advice. Do you have people that you go to as well, like humans? Yes. Yeah, what I guess I call mentors that have walked this road before me. I'm America's mentor. Why don't you come to me?

Yeah, come on. American Idol didn't hire me to sit on child liver over here. I have all the advice. I'm not trying to build their brand. per se, I'm trying to shape them into functioning humans. That's fair. That's fair. Well, I'm glad to hear that you're giving yourself different tools.

Yes. You may not have to use them. Correct. I think I just got stuff in my toolbox. I'm always trying to load up that toolbox too. Or as lunchbox calls it a tool chest. Whatever you want to call it. Yeah.

I need it. I think that's good. You like reading? I do. These days, I feel like listening to the audiobook or podcasting. is easier for me to absorb and still get stuff done. I think the audio, because I'm, I just finished my second book and it comes out this summer. And that audio book, I haven't recorded it, I will.

People can listen to it. I think if you listen to a book, it's the same thing as reading it. And people will go, no, you don't really read it, you just listen to it. I think it's the same thing. I'm totally down with listening to a book and it's, and the same thing as reading. Do you think you have to disclose that if someone's like, oh, this is such a great book? And you, if you listen to you, be like, oh, yeah, I read that book. This is what I do, though, sometimes.

I will read a book and I'll know where I am. And then on the audio, if I'm driving for a long time, I'll just go to that part and switch it back. Eddie, what are you reading an audio? Oh, man, I got burned by one audiobook. It was about a submarine that was sinking. It was terrible. But that was my first time to get a book from, like, Cracker Barrel.

You mean the CD? And your last time? Yeah, it was a CD. It was terrible. It was so bad. You can't blame the content of the book on what you picked out. I think it was the way the man was reading it. He was like, the boat went, ahuga.

Are you sure that wasn't a kid's book for you already? It might have been. Well, that's a very kind call of her. Very. And it's good to know that how's things going? Good. Good. Up and down?

You know, we have a new nanny just recently, like now, like in the last few days. And I kind of had a breakdown to her. I was like, she's going to quit. She's going to quit day one. Did she? Not yet. Live to fight another day. Do you think it's okay?

I've already cried to her. Yeah, you get that out of the way. She sees the worst in you. Everything else is a bonus She's like, oh boy Yeah The Bobby Bones show You see where Air Force One

Has a doctor 2,000 meals, 85 phones on it The interior is 4,000 square feet That's so crazy that that can fly It has a conference room A dining room, an oval office, a bedroom, a bathroom for the president,

other offices for other staff members The aircraft has a medical room And a separate operating room Air Force One has its own doctor It's equipped with encryption and scrambling devices There are all these phones, armored windows Man, that's why the refrigerator costs three million dollars It's pretty fascinating

You only know the most fascinating thing I read yesterday? What? Was Barbara Streisand cloned her dog twice And has two cloned dogs? What? Huh? It's unbelievable. Who saw the story?

I mean, I guess I read a little bit of it But I didn't realize it was the same dog She cloned the same dog twice. put it on my instant story because I was like, this is like Jurassic Park. And then I said, since it was a dog, I said it was Jurassic Bark. Oh, wow.

Thank you very much. So in an interview with Variety, she said that she had this dog as a 14 year old, died in 2017, and cells were taken from her dog's mouth and stomach, and two dogs were made out of it. Clone two dogs.

Now, I love my dog more than any living thing ever. and I just can't see cloning it. Cloning him. I wonder how much that costs. How much it costs a clone a dog? Let's box. Google that. I think it's $50,000 is what I read.

It's $50,000 for a dog and $25,000 for a cat. But what are you going to get from that? Because the dog's not going to be the same. Like in your heart, what are you hoping? You're not feeling that void of the same dog being gone. I don't know. Yeah. And why not just go save another dog?

Yeah. There's so many dogs that need a home. But I guess if you're really attached You have that kind of... But that dog's gone. I know. The dog's gone. It sucks.

I know. It sucks. Amy's dog just died. My dog's about to die. It all sucks. Yeah, it really does. But I don't... Yeah, you're right.

I don't know that I would want to have cloned her. Because it's not her. I'm not trying to hate. I'm just trying to understand. Here, I just hand it to me. Amy, you're right. Mm-hmm.

Thank you. That's crazy. 50 grand for a dog. 25 for a cat. The company also offers genetic preservation for $600 bucks. They do a buy a body. Myopsy and they save the tissue so they can clone it later.

That's $600. That's you did it to me. Oh, we should clone you? Why not? But it wouldn't really be you. You'd be like Evil Bobby or something. I don't care. I'd send it over to California, do all that West Coast stuff.

I don't like to have to get up early over there. That stuff stinks, man. There's a tattoo artist through Inks his whole body, and he also did his eyeballs and inside his mouth. That hurts to think about. Yeah, his name is Eli Inc. He changed his name. Of course he did, Amy, yes, that's true.

Great observation, AIME. He synced his entire body, including his eyeballs in the inside of his mouth. The eyeball thing's crazy to me. The mouth thing is just, you're just showing out so you can go, hey, check this out. The eyeball thing seems so dangerous. Even the people that were getting those eyelash tattoos. Oh, yeah. Can I talk about?

Eyeliner. Yeah, that's crazy to me. Oh, yeah. No, that's not crazy to me. Getting your eyeball tattoos. It's a more, yes. But getting your eyeliner tattooed on you, it's a needle so close to your eye. Yeah.

Have you done that? Not crazy to me. I did my eyebrows. You get them tattooed? Yeah. I get another tattooed. Oh, I did that microblading. We talked about it when Morgan was thinking about doing it.

It's not tattooed technically. It's called microblading. They cut open your skin with a blade and then pour ink inside. What? That's what that is? I thought it was like sewing. They were like sewing your eye with something. The Bobby Bones Show

You like that one in? Yeah, I haven't thought about it in a really long time, but yeah When I was doing my research for this segment I was going through the whole And I was like, oh, that's my favorite. Then I hit it out. No, that's my favorite.

And I ended up with this one being my favorite. Happy birthday, Jason L.D. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So I have the number one reason that contestants get rejected from the Bachelor. Oh, psychological profiles. sort of. It does have to do with your health. What is it? Well, you have to have a clean bill of health.

You know what I'm saying? Oh, so they can't have SDs if they go on the Bachelor. Yeah, they get tested and all the stuff. A psych evaluation is done, but that's not the number one reason people get rejected. I think they actually want you to be crazy. Yeah, you're exactly right. Hey, you know, that's a good thing because if I were the Bachelor, I would be concerned. Because, you know, really the Bachelors are getting with a lot of those girls. I would be concerned Oh yeah of course I would be concerned

that I was getting something but if they're already covered I mean that's a good thing It's just kind of like the 60s again Free love man Yeah Woodstock Not Bachelor

Yeah what else Okay so it looks like there could be A fresh prince of Bel Air reboot But it'll be the fresh Princess of Bel Air Yeah so it won't really be The same cast because Uncle Phil's dead

Will Smith was on Instagram saying he will never be back on the show but kind of the same theme but with a young female which I think is a good idea I don't like it when shows come back and just try to make a whole new indefinite run

I like it if shows come back and they do one more season and that's it just like our athletes we don't want to see Michael Jordan get so old and crappy that we feel bad for them at this point I look at this Will and Grace show and I'm like stop this isn't good anymore

but yeah, I'm okay with this a whole new set. And it's on rerun so much now on TV land that young people are seeing it. Yeah, I agree. Yeah, so what else? They'll know what's up. Spice Girls are going to perform at Prince Harry and Megan's wedding. Is that for sure? Yeah.

Because I saw that one of the spices had mentioned to that. Mel B. She let it slip. No, you don't let that slip. No, she was on the reel yesterday and she let it slip. My point is you say that on purpose. purpose, even if you act like you didn't. But what did she say exactly? Well, she admitted that the whole group, they were going to be attending the wedding. And then after being pressed a little bit, she hinted that they're also going to be singing. And Megan's a huge fan of the spice

girls. She's not even British. That's the weird thing. What? I'm a huge fan of the spice girls. I was a spice girl my senior year of high school. Which one? For Halloween. The right-headed one? No, who was I? My friend and I were, I think I was scary spice. Were you dopey? What does that mean? That's a dwarf. Oh, that's one of the seven doors. Oh, that was spicy door. I don't even, I don't even know if that was like funny or rude. It was funny.

Don't worry. What else you got? Well, if you love Netflix and their original shows and binging them, the CEO announced that they are coming up with 700 new original Netflix shows. Wow. That's a lot of, it's a lot of binging. It's so much now that I can't enjoy it because I turn it on and I go, wow, there are all these new shows. I don't know which one I want to invest my time in. It's so much

like overload that I just watch the office. Oh. It's just too many shows. You should give some of the original ones a shot. Or read a book. Oh, stop. What, stop with the books. Are you trying? Read bare bones. No, I don't know. Read your new book. I didn't come out until June. Okay, well, we'll start, we'll start saying that when it comes out. I'm with you. Read books, listen to audiobooks, educate yourself, but also be up to speed on what Netflix has coming out. You're the worst.

Amy's running into a whole new person to do the parent. What do you mean? I barely, no, watch it for me. I don't get to watch it. I wish, gone are the days that I binged. Yeah. Okay, cool.

Kathy Lace coming out, by the way, of Kathy Lee Gifford. I can't wait. She's about to come in. Anything else you want to say him? No, I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

On the Bobby Bones show now. Kathy Lee, how are you? Bobby, I'm so happy to see you. Finally, you and I have been talking for about a month or so to get you in here. I'm so glad you came down. I am so excited to be sharing this with you because when we were planning on the release of this, I thought, oh, I got to call Bobby. So I'm going to get to the song in one second because she has a new song called Love Me to Death, which is really good. The concept is what first.

I was like, oh, I need to hear this and I heard it. I want to get to that one second. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have lots of questions, though. Just generally, so you're here in the morning. What time do you have to wake up in the morning? I'm right around the same time as you, like 3 o'clock in the morning, which would be 2 o'clock for you. But I've been doing it for so many years.

I don't live in the city. I live in Connecticut, so I've always been doing the commute. And I love the early, early morning. I got a notice. Hey, you should check out Kathy Lee's song. And so I listen to it. And then you text me and I said, oh, we've got to get you down here. Tell me what this song, because it's not just you singing.

It's also Brett. Yeah, Brett James. Yeah. Tell me about this song. Well, I was leaving for Scotland last summer in August and to go, it's called Location Scouting, trying to find the perfect places for all the scenes I'd written. And he said, send me some pictures as we're going along. We had just written a song called Once Again, which I thought was going to be our title song.

But things change in the creative process. So anyway, we just finished writing it. And we were both really, really happy with it. We nailed the song, to which he texts me back. I can't stop singing our song. Now I go to sleep in a 400-year-old castle, and that's on my brain. Can't stop singing your song.

I woke up at 2 o'clock in the morning, which I most of the time do, and these lyrics just came to me. Just boom, boom, boom. I was a little embarrassed. They're very sensual, but they were for my character, Annabelle, in our movie, and texted him the next day,

said I'm a little embarrassed, but I think I have our closing credit song. and he goes, well, send him to me. And he read them, he goes, oh, yeah. And he's so great, he just wrote this incredible melody to it. And now we got it. Now you are debuting it for us. We are.

It's actually out today, but the very first day. Yep. So this is the release day. I'm going to play it right now. Kathy Lee, and here is Love Me to Death. You closed your eyes. I close my eyes. I held your very breath.

I held my breath. Let me love you. To do you love me Love me today Go On the Bobby Bones show now Kathy Lee Listen to that right there

Yeah thank you I can tell you love it Because you were singing along with it You know what His melody is getting your head It's really You can't stop singing them And that's great

I mean it's You know You got a good song I should say I know But I didn't know You were such a good singer I didn't even do this For such a long time

Like I've known in the last few years you've been putting out these songs and I see them do really well. But you've been singing, even named that tune back in the day. Yeah, 1977 was my big break in this business. I was the La La Lady on Name That Tune. And so many, so many years ago. And then right after that, I came to Nashville and did a, I was spent most of the next year here doing a sitcom called Heaha Honeys. With all the, I was the only one that wasn't, you know, in the HeHa Cast.

and everybody just welcomed me so beautifully and it was just, I made lifetime friends that's when I met Dolly, that's when I met Barbara Mandrell and the Gatlands and Kenny Rogers and they're all great, great pals of mine to this day. So Nashville has always had a huge, huge, huge place in my heart.

Love it. I love it. I want you to hear this clip because we pulled a clip here. This is you from Name That Tune. Oh my gosh. Back in 1974? Here we go. Here is one more tune, the final one in this round. Kathy, if you please. My love is there a Anyone to stay a parallel? No five tunes.

They were in the pockets. That's crazy. You know what? That's when I had an extra octave so long ago. I wish I sang like that now. I think I was 22 or something. I don't know. How trained are you musically?

It was my minor in college, but I didn't graduate from college, so that tells you. I just learned by doing. I learned by doing. My dad used to say to me, Kathy, find something you love to do and then figure out a way to get paid for it. When do you get to go out and perform these songs for people? Why don't you go to a tour? No, I still have a day job. I'm still with the Today Show.

So, yeah, and it's funny. I mean, I can record now, but I haven't sung professionally in 15 years. I had some damage to my vocal cords when my daddy was dying. And I had pneumonia and didn't go and get on antibiotics because he was literally in hospice. And by the time I did, I'd had some bad damage to my vocal cords. So Brett is the one that he bamboozled me. He came up to my house in Connecticut, and I have a studio in my house. And when we wrote Jesus, he saw Jesus, I said, well, listen, I don't sing anymore.

So who are we going to get to sing this? Let's get, I know, no, or let's get faith or let's get, you know, somebody that can actually sing, you know. And he said, well, we can talk about that. But in the meantime, why don't you just do the demo? And I said, well, I can do the demo because you can fix me in the studio. You can, you know, you can make me sound like, well, not exactly like Carrie Underwood, but close, right? It's sad that we can do that these days. You stuff to have talent.

But anyway, so he said, so we recorded it that day. And I said, so who are we going to get to sing it? And he goes, well, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take your vocals back to Nashville. I'm going to, you know, comp them. And then I'm going to add some live strings. And that's a dead giveaway to anybody that's been in the music business. I said, I just looked at him like, you stinker.

And he just sort of smiles and he goes, Nobody can sing this song, but Kathy Lee. And I did sing it. I was scared to death because, you know, literally hadn't sung live in years. And I did it on the Today Show and it instantly went viral. And that's when it became the number one hit. You know, because people loved my husband. They really loved him.

And people were fascinated by the way I came back after losing him, except I didn't lose him. That's one of the lines in the song. No, I didn't lose him. I know right where he is because he was never really mine. He was always his, meaning God. So, but after he passed away, I came back a week later and talked about it on the air. And that went viral.

I think 80 million people or so have seen that. So it's just, the whole world has changed since I got into this business. Bobby is such a little, I was 10 years old when I started singing professionally with my sister. So, you know, the technology can be used for good, too. So I was just amazed that this could happen, especially, I like to be surprised at this point in my life, you know? Let's see. So you're here, you're on TV, you're making music, you're pretty much Jennifer Lopez now. Well, I've always had, I wish I looked like Jennifer Lopez.

But again, you're Jennifer Lopez again. You're before and after. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I've been around a long, long time. I'm grateful. You know, I've had a 50-year career pretty much. Well, now it's 54-year career. It's amazing. I think it's because I've always just been authentic. You may not like me, but it's based on authenticity. You may not like me. And that's fine. Everybody, everybody. has their opinions. But the people that are still my fans after all these years have become my friends. And they know what they're going to get. I think they're going to be surprised by this movie because this is, I'm usually very much involved in the faith-based world because that's a huge part of my life. But this time, I wanted to examine what it's like for people who have no personal faith. They're on a journey trying to find it, but they haven't been enlightened in any, they're always talking about, haven't been enlightened yet.

And that's most of the world, I think. Most people are looking for something. Most people are trying to find some truth in their life. And so it was fun for me as a, as the writer, to examine what would I do, what would this character do when she loses her husband and doesn't lose him? Well, yeah, in her case, she feels like she did lose him. Because she has no idea where he went or what happened to him. And so that's why she's heads out on this journey.

But it was fascinating and it freed me up because most of my friends are not necessarily followers of Jesus the way I am. I love these people. I just love them. I took a bunch of people on a trip to Israel a couple of years ago. It was my Sikh friends, my Hindu friends, my Scientology friends, my atheist friends, my agnostic friends, my brokenhearted Catholic friends, my still confused Baptist friends. I mean, it was quite the group. And we all just had the most amazing spiritual time there because they're just great people. And I just think we need to get back to that in this world. You know, it's not, you don't have to agree with me to be my friend, you know?

We're going to put the video up to bobbybones.com. So the song and the video, they're all out. I'm very grateful that you came by today. Love you, Bobby Bones. You too, Kathy Lee, everybody. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Bobby Bones.
