but the guy won the election yesterday. So the girl in win, the guy did. Right. Okay, got it. He started his own political party. I don't even have to do it in France, right? He started his own political party. But let me tell you what I took from this. because this segment's not about politics at all.

But this guy's 39 years old. Youngest president in French history. Wow. Yeah, that's number one. Number two, this dude when he was 15 had an affair with his high school teacher. What? Yes. This dude's wife is that teacher who's 64 years old.

Oh, he married the teacher? Yes. When did they get married? Wait, she's 64? Yes. What? He's 39, the youngest ever. She's 64, his wife.

Okay. She used to be his teacher. He was 15 years old when they started having an affair. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Wow. So she's 25 years older, and he was 50. Whoa.

What? And they're married and he's president? Yeah. Yeah. What? And so I don't know what's happening over there. But I do know that's crazy. And you know what?

Not even as crazy as the stuff we had. Let's be honest. Oh, yeah. True, true. That's something like crazy as what we're at. Right. But I was watching the news yesterday, and it was like, they kept leaving that story out, and that's like the story that I want to hear more about.

Oh, my goodness. There's so much to that. I can't. I need to go to France to see what's up over there. Time for positivity. It's our good news segment of the day called Tell Me Something Good. Let's go. Tell me something good.

All right, let me talk about this pilot for a second. He's being recognized for his gesture toward a mom who is flying solo, and she has four kids, two of which are babies. Now, two of the lap babies couldn't sit in her lap. So she didn't know the lap. She couldn't stick in one of the kids' laps against rules. Oh. So she was like, what do I do?

So another pilot who was on the plane, this is pilot, said, I'll hold the baby. So he held the baby the entire flight in his lap. That's super sweet. For almost two hours. Nice pilot. He said, I have children in my own. So it came natural to me to help this customer with her babies. And he helped them all and feed the babies and try to do that.

offer them when we get fussy. Listen, he handed over the fussy and back to the mom. Hey, but at least he was helping. Like, I mean, what was she going to do? I don't know. Not get on the flight. Crazy, huh? Amy, you're up.

Well, it's a good thing. 10-year-old Abigail got her birthday present early this year because it ended up being a lifesaver. She's from Arkansas. She got a pet goat named Speedy as her gift. And two nights later, as they were sleeping, Speedy the goat started jumping on her legs and her chest. And basically, they were like, wake up, wake up, wake up.

She woke up to smoke, ran to her parents' room. Yeah, their house was on fire. Speedy the goat saved him. Speedy the goat. How hasn't it ever seen him over that goat? I know. Speedy. Lunchbox.

There was this guy, Mark, he was accidentally included on a group text message. And it was like these people saying, oh, we're going to miss you. Good luck. We'll see you soon. He had no idea what was going on. A month later, a picture pops up in that thread. And it's this guy, a soldier overseas in front of a helicopter. And he realized the family was texting with a soldier.

So what did he do? He sent 3,000 cookies. so the soldier he's never met. Wow. Random and awesome, huh? Yeah. Cool. All right, there you go.

Oh, no, you're thinking of Planet of the Eighth, 1976. Oh, yeah, I guess so. If you're a Britney Spears fan, you can now own a piece of her. People are selling outfits on eBay, seven outfits from seven famous events, but stuff is starting at the 50,000 mark. That's not a piece of her. I thought it was like fingernails and hair. No, you get a piece of her clothing.

Oh, okay. But $50,000, like something from like, I'm a slave for you, like outfits from that. Okay. $50,000. Who's buying that? Rich people. Yeah, I guess so.

So he calls the Burger King and says, I want free food. And they said, well, you had to come back over here and prove it was a hair. And he goes, I'm going to blow the building up if you don't give me a free burger and they said, sir, it's illegal to threaten people about blowing up buildings. She goes, it's not illegal if it's not just a threat because I'm going to do it. Oh, dang. He doubled down. So they sent police over the hotel and he was arrested.

Why did he want them to bring the burger to his hotel? I mean, you have to go back anyway to get the burger. Don't blow things up, people. Yeah, I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day. Bobby Bones, everybody. Transmitting across America. show.

Our I Heart Country Festival was this past weekend. Lots of famous people there. There were some people, and I didn't know who they were, but they were from seasons of The Bachelor or Bachelorette. And Amy said sheared them complaining about, people want to take pictures with me. It just gets stuck taking pictures, all the picture of picture. I'm just so famous.

Well, one of them walked in the green room area backstage and was kind of late. She's like, sorry, one person asked for a picture. And then the next thing you know, it's like the floodgates open, and everybody wants a picture. And then it just started this whole conversation of like, oh, yeah, I know. I can't, one of them couldn't even go get a drink the next minute to go out and do something.

Oh, it's so tough. So I just thought it was funny because I honestly was like, I mean, y'all seem really, really nice. But I have no idea. I've no idea you are. I don't know. And it's weird. Yeah, they always seem to roll in the same pack. Mm-hmm.

And they surround themselves with each other. Yeah, and you would think they would really like taking pictures because they clearly kind of want to be famous. Because that's going to go away. Okay. If you're just like on that show as like a person and you're not one of the bachelor or bachelorette, you got like about a seven-month shelf life. So milk it up.

So milk it up and take all the pictures. Yeah. Lots of people. We have lots of stories from over the festival. I'll play you. This was Rascal Flats here on Saturday night at our Iheart Country Festival. Check this one out right here. They're still really good.

They're still really good. Lady A was awesome. They had the horns there. So cool. Our band The Raging Idiots played. Thank you for being a friend. As we started playing that song, people start looking at like, what is this song? Why do I know it?

So lots of things. Go to bobbyvones.com. If you want to see a lot of pictures, there was one person I tried to get a picture with and I couldn't.

And apparently he was on Felicity or something. Oh, yes, back in the day. I didn't know all the girls were freaking out about somebody from Felicity. So I went up to Scott Foley and he was about to go, say, hey, may I get a picture?

And then he walked away and I was like, the one person I was going to stop it to be geek out on. I'm with you. I passed him three different times and I never not once had the guts to be like, hey, can I get a pick? Oh, you got out close enough to him? Yes, I walked by him multiple times. And then when I started seeing some of our friends posting pictures with him on Instagram, I was like, oh, dang, I missed out. Yeah.

I missed out, too. It was the only, because everybody else we know for the most part. All the artists. Man, that's regret right there. I should have done it. Jake from Scandal. I wanted to be like, what's it like dating Olivia Pope? He was, you see, by the way, she had an affair with Chris Rock.

What? It was one of the affairs that they had when it was why he got divorced. It was in the news over the weekend. Oh, I did not see that. Yeah. Wow. I like that. I just little Bobby Wood's skinny for you right there.

filled with mac and cheese. No. Pepparoni and mozzarella. And beer. No. Like the cream? It's beer.

And bacon. Okay. Out of all of those, bacon sounds the best. Well, they do all these. I'm going to tell you, after our IHard Country Festival, I went to the after party.

You didn't go, though, did you? Yeah, I was at a different one, but they had the same donuts. I thought you were at ours because you posted a picture with the donut, so I went over to the donut table. You weren't there, but I found out you were at the other party

with the same donuts. Yeah, lunchbox and I went to the big baller party Well, we were walking into that And one of the bosses was walking out And he's like, y'all don't need to go in there Come with us here, so we just detoured Yeah, we went to big boss for the big baller party Yeah

Okay, yeah Well, it's a big boss that told us not to go in Yeah, but not the biggest boss I know, the one below him Oh no, you got second tier boss I know, but we got the same donuts So these sound good to me I had a voodoo donut

And I was like, you know what? I dropped five pounds in a week to fit in my clothes, and I had a donut with fruit loops. Yeah? And a donut with Oreos all on it and in it. That Oreo one was good. And they were really good. Yeah, they're really good. The Bobby Bones!

Bobby Bones show. You know, I saw a story in the news about a teacher in Ohio, and she was dragging a kindergartner down a hallway. It's a picture of her. Dragging a kindergarten her down a hallway. So I'll read you some of the story. And again, all I saw was the picture, the story, and the end of the story. An Ohio teacher dragged the kindergarten child along a school hallway she has fired. She was photographed dragging the toddler by the arm down the hallway.

The employee was fired by their employer of the Alta Care Group. Youngstown City School said one of their teachers saw this teacher, pulling the child, took a picture of it. And of course, it's up, right? Now it's out there. It's out there. They fired the teacher. And I read this story. The first thing I think is, what did the kid do?

Because I think of me as a five-year-old. And if I was out of control and you needed to get me to the office, there's no way you're getting me to the office. What if I'm punching and kicking and spitting? Someone's got to grab me and take me to the, I don't know the story. I'm thinking of the worst possible scenario. Two, if I'm dragging a kid, I'm looking down the hall simply made with the phone. Because I don't need this picture to be put up anywhere.

Right. I do think we're a little lenient on punishment with kids now. It's all like, you did bad. you need to have 15 minutes of self-meditation and some aroma. And you're like, what? And here's some essential oils. Yes. And think about what you did as you put essential oils like, like, I got a whooping.

And it worked. Oh, yeah, I know. And there's a fine line. And I got licks at school. And it worked. Well, that's not going to be coming back. And it's a fine line. I just, I don't, everyone wants to beat on the teacher.

I don't know teacher. I don't know. I need to know more. Me too. but I'm not going to say that there aren't times when kids are out of control and the only way to get them somewhere is to physically get them.

You can't call a parent if a kid's out of control and go, hey, your kid's out of control. By the way, he's bit seven people. I can't stop him. He's biting right now. So if you can get here, up, yep. He's on his eighth person,

so you can leave work. Come get your kid, that'd be great. And listen, I've been parenting for no years, so I'm an expert. Well, but you were a kid once. Yeah, still. You are. Depending on who you ask.

Or you still are. And now time for Judge Common Sense. music please. This is from at Kira Capri. She asks me, Judge Common Sense. Your Honor, I need common sense. I asked a store employee what aisle an item was on and if he could help me. And he said no, because he was off the clock.

Am I wrong for being annoyed? Kira, thank you for asking Judge Commons. It's a question. You're never wrong for your feelings, first of all. You're only wrong for how you act on your feelings. You are never wrong for your feelings. But you are, you are wrong if you act in a negative light toward it. He's off the clock.

He's not working anymore. It just depends what kind of human he is. If he's like, you know what? I'm a good human. I help you. Then he would help you. If I was in the grocery store by myself and I was just shopping and I would help her. Yeah.

But I don't think you can be mad at someone if they're off the clock. Maybe he just worked a long day. Maybe he was in a hurry to get out. Yeah. Maybe he's just a jerk. And maybe he honestly didn't know. what aisle, so he was just like, eh, I'm not working on time to figure this out. So, yes, it is an unfortunate situation, and I think 99% of people would have helped you.

For sure. You got the one Mr. Grinch of the grocery store. You're a mean one. Mr. Grinch. So Judge Convin since rules that you are wrong. Yes. Now that makes sense. Thank you.

Just because he doesn't have to do that. I think most people would have, he didn't have to do that. Yeah. Over to Amy with the skinny now. Go. Bobby Bohn-Jose. The latest from Nashville in Hollywood. Amy's 32nd Skinny.

So we've been talking about American Idol coming back, which is so weird, but TMZ broke the story recently. Idol is coming back March 2018 on ABC. And they say that Ryan might be down. And it would require him to fly coast to coast in the middle of the night, like twice a week, to pull it off. He's got to fly back to L.A. every weekend. Anyway. That just seems exhausting. Well, basically he's just going to combust.

And Ryan's going to go into ashes. Yeah. How does he do it? I feel like you're like a mini Ryan. Ryan's already kind of mini. Like, oh, you talking physically? No, but I mean, you're on that track. Like, if you had the offers he has.

Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, you just have not yet. You have other things going for you. Hey, listen. I feel like Amy. You're a machine. You're like a mini Shanaya.

If you had the offers that she had, Thank you. You would just be up there rocking and rolling. That was meant to be a compliment to be a mini riot. I'm saying I feel like you would do this and be like, dang, how does he do it? He works. Kanye West has deleted both his Twitter and Instagram accounts. Some theories on why say that he's about to drop a new album.

It's a publicity stunt. He's focusing on his health. And the social media negativity is not worth it. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds. This is the Bobby Bulls. Show. All right, Kelsey Ballerini isn't here.

Hello. Hello. We were together this past weekend and you sang, first of all, you did our I Heart Country Festival, which is fantastic. Amazing. But that's your thing. I've seen you do your thing many times. Yes. You came out with Dirks and you guys did different for girls.

Yeah. Is that weird to do somebody else's song? It's not weird. It's awesome. I love that song. I love Shane who wrote it. I love Dirks. I love Elle.

So it's cool to be able to kind of just like step in and do it for her. Do you feel the pressure? That's going to be on TV? Um, yeah, a little bit. Yeah, TV always scares me. Let me do this. So you were born in what year? 93.

All these songs came out in 1993. Okay, okay. See if you can name these songs. This is the year she was born. Okay, great. See if you can name this song. There you go. No idea.

No, but I know the song. Is it like Gang's Paradise is, no. It is? It is? It is. It is a whole different song. A whole different song. She was celebrating that one.

Oh, good. That's naughty by nature. Hip-Hop hooray. Okay, I do not know that. And Bobby and I were into that at our school. In junior high. Yeah.

How about the, oh, if you missed this one. I know. Hey, yeah, I want to shoot, baby, shoot. No, she's shaking her head, no. No. Wait, stop. I was a child. I was a little baby.

Yeah, but I know songs from the 80s when I was born. This is not every movie. Like, every movie ever said this song. Yeah. Guys, I'm embarrassed. Here I go. Here I go again. What's my weakness, men?

You got to show me love. Yeah, there's no way to go. No? Okay. How about this one? This is primary. Oh. It does sound kind of like Pramary.

The guitar part does. It does. Says she's had enough of me I've had enough I've got to get to the chorus Amy do you know this one? Yeah I might as well go on and set her free

To be fair This is the year that I was literally We're being completely fair We're not judging No fault, no blame Nobody done no wrong Do you know this one that? Yeah

Are you kidding? I'm older than you No Yeah it's George Strait easy come as you go Yeah You have to like culture yourself a bit. Kelsey Ballerini is here. We're going to play Yeah Boy.

Then we're going to come back. This song is always weird for me to say the name. You said that. It's so weird. You nailed it. It's like, how do you say yeah boy? You just say yeah, boy. Do you know who?

Who's got the word of clock, Eddie? What? Who's got the words of Clock? Playflip. Playflip. Do you know play a Flavis? No. That's, okay, so this is why we wrote the song.

Yeah, boy. You know what Flavavavelicious. Okay, so it was a Doritos commercial for the Super Bowl like years and years ago. And I walked into this co-write and I was like, guys, what, what song is it or the commercial that's like, yeah, boy? Yeah, yeah, boy. So we ended up Googling it for like 30 minutes trying to find it, and that's why we wrote the song, because we had already spent so much time trying to find it. I've never heard that story before. Yeah, it came from Play with Flav.

Wow. Okay, we're going to, because I always am like, I don't know how to say it. I'm like, yeah, boy. That's where it came from. Yeah, we're going to play, yeah, boy. Now you have to say it like that every time. Yeah, boy. Is there any hidden, like, flavor, flavor reference in the song?

Not at all. Not at all. But there's a kid on YouTube that does, like, his longest, yeah, boy ever. And it's like, he holds out the boy for, like, a minute. And it's become a thing. So people will, like, insert it into the song. So it's like, yeah, boy. I'm digging what you're doing.

Yeah, boy. Like, it's hilarious. Yeah, boy, I'm digging what you're doing. I don't keep it cool, but you're making it. All right, Kelsey Ballerini's here. And you're out with. Lady Annabellum. Yes, for the rest of the year.

You're like moving all, because you just left Thomas, Rhett. Yeah. And now you go to Lady Annabelle. Yeah. Okay, here's the question. And you don't have to answer specifically. Yeah. Do you get a, are you getting a raise?

Yeah. Really? Yeah. Because you're in the same spot. You're in the second spot. It's a bigger tour, though. That's why. That's why I was asking.

And you and Hillary are close. Hilary Scott, like you've been close. It's cool. Like, I don't really get to tour with girls a lot, you know? So it's cool to be able to have a girl on tour. Do you have any girls in your? You don't have any girls in your band, do you? Not in my band now. I've banded brothers, all boys. Kelsey Ballerini's here. Amy, you know how we talk about songs and songwriters and how songs end up

places and stuff? You know, here's a fun story that Kelsey told me. I'll let you tell it, but how Love Me Like You Mean It, they were actually pitching that song. Yeah. Before you cut it. So tell Amy that story. Well, we had written it. I was like just signed as a songwriter. And I really wanted to be an artist that I didn't have a deal yet. And so I was kind of like trying to collect all my songs and it was like at that point it was um love me and peter pan I don't think I had dibs yet or anything but they were pitching it and like

a lot of people were like it's it's not nope nope it's not gonna work no we don't want it we don't want it and then I was like I want it so I ended up cutting it because everyone passed on it they were offering it to artists love me like you mean it yeah and people kept saying no yeah and then she kept it and cut it in her own song yeah yeah well I hey it worked out it worked out yeah I'm sure it was hard though was it hard to know like

I'm sure you loved it and you're like, no one told me they were pitching it till after. Because they knew I would have been like, that's my baby. Yeah, no one told me till afterwards. So, yeah boy is, yeah boy. Is this week. But like what are you saying now about the new record? What are you saying? What is anything? A new song. What are you saying right now? Yeah, new song real soon. New album this year. But let's talk about when do we hear a new song? And I just have to ask because I know. things, but I don't want to say wrong. I don't want to say wrong things. What can people know? When will we get to hear something new? Well, we just picked it. And so we're getting it all ready

to go. It'll be to radio in July, June, July. So in the summertime, we'll have a new Kelsey Ballarat. It just will just say in the summer time. June. June. It'll be in June. Okay. Maybe before, maybe after, but around. But that's when we have like a new song. It's like a whole new chapter of your life. I can't wait. It's crazy. I feel like, you know, you make an album and it takes two years and you put it out and that's two years and then you have four years of the same music and to a lot of people, you know, like they're just now discovering my record, but it's me four years ago. And just as a chick, like I'm growing up still and I've changed a lot, my life's changed a lot and I'm just ready to move on to that

chapter so much. So I'm stoked. Here's the put you under the gun spot. When you turn the radio on right now and you hear a song, you're like, man, that's a great song. And what song do you hear on the radio and it didn't have to be one that you would sing but you're just like I turn it that when it comes on um I really was obsessed with Better Man for from a little big town um I just think that that's the kind of song that makes you stop and listen on the radio you know kind of like breaks up the flow but what about outside of the format Julia Michael's issues oh and that song good oh it's so good freaks me out how good it's it's so good that it's like wait is this like it's so different and she's a songwriter

She's been having hits on hits for so long And then she's like, I think I might just put this out Because I like it. And she just put it out and it's the best thing ever. I saw her at Grammy Week And I went up to turn and I'm like, listen, I'm going to fan girl so hard over you right now As a songwriter because she just like does her thing And then put out a single because she wanted to.

I think it's the coolest thing. Ross Coppherman came over to the house who I'm friends with And he wrote with her. I'm obsessed with him. He was like, we just wrote and all of a sudden She's putting out a song and now it's like a crazy smash. Yeah, crazy. He has a lot of songs on my new record.

All the things All the things out there And we'll see you We'll see you soon All right, lots of Monday morning confessions here on the phones. Let's go to Ohio, and Mandy is on. Hi, Mandy. Hi.

Thank you for calling. Go ahead and confess you a little hardaway. I started a process about adopting my fiancé does not know about it because I can't have no more kids and he wanted a boy, but I can't have no more kids. So I started processing adoption. And he didn't really want to do it at this time because we're trying to plan for our wedding and stuff in October. And I went ahead and started without him. Way to hell now.

So, I'm so much to say right now. That was great. So much. So you can't have a kid. You want a kid. You're marrying him. He doesn't want a kid right now. But you've secretly started the adoption process without him. He wants a boy.

Yep. Oh, that's right. Amy would you like today? I just feel like I feel like oh you're bringing another if you're trying to bring a child into this relationship

both of you have to be on board for adoption I feel like you have got to be honest with him about this like ASAP ASAP there's I mean there's nothing more to say right

right right yeah right I mean I just don't take it lightly it just you can't go into a marriage like that Mandy, good luck. I hope you take Amy's advice. And wow. I mean, you have to be willing to, if you started the adoption process, you have to be willing. If you get matched, you could know that you could raise this child by yourself, too.

Starting heavy with him today, huh? Yeah. Let's go over to Lauren in Louisiana. Hi, Lauren. Hi. Monday morning confessions. What do you got? I was taking my garbage can out and accidentally not the side mirror on my neighbor's car. And I guess I hit it a little too hard and it popped off. The whole side mirror fell off. I ran inside real quick and I got the loptight glue. And I glued it all up and stuck it back on and it felled.

There we go. That's kind of confession we liked right there. That's a good one. Well, you know what I mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the kind we can laugh with. Yeah, thank you. Hey, I hope you felt, now you're free to do whatever you want.

You don't ever tell them. If you confess on the show, you're all clear. Yes. Was it the side mirror on her car or her neighbor's car? My neighbor's car. Yeah. Okay, so. All good.

Hey, it's all good. You're going back. Okay, yeah. I guess as long as it sticks. There you go. Thank you. Let's go to Heather in Mississippi. Hi, Heather.

Hey. Monday morning confessions. What do you have? About a year ago, my husband, he was, I guess, spending a little more time on the computer cell phone than I thought he should. So just kind of had some suspicions. and I made this fake app and started texting him like I was another woman. And he kind of went with it and started saying some, you know, I guess some kind of inappropriate things.

But then I just kind of like deleted it and didn't follow up with it. But I never told him. And we're really sure what to do with that information that I got. Are you with them still? I am. You still haven't been able to hold it in You still haven't been able to say anything? I didn't know how to...

Play this back. You can't tell... He's playing the clip. No. You can't tell him what you did. You can't. But you have to go and see if he'll be honest with you about how he's talking to other women

and then play it from there. Wait, you want him to be honest, but you're not going to be honest with how you... Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Life ain't always about black and white.

you got to attack the gray hard. Hard. And be like, I feel like you're on the computer lodge or anything you want to tell me. And then see if he's honest and go from there. But that's hard. You can't be like, I also lie to you about lying. Ooh, these are too heavy. Today's a heavy day.

The Bobby Bones. Bobby Bones show. If you ask our producer Eddie, hey, how's it going? He responds with, better than I deserve. Pretty cool, huh? Buddy. Put you in a good mood right away. Some people are like, hey, man.

How you doing? Better than I deserve. Does that even fit, though? No? No. How are you doing? Yeah, it means he's doing better than he deserves. It means like you're, it means your bat.

It means I'm doing amazing. You don't deserve greatness? No. The whole thing is annoying. So, yeah. Lunchbox goes out and people would ask him how he's doing. And so instead of doing like that or it's the opposite. He does the opposite.

Oh, my goodness. He just tells him exactly and just goes totally the truth. So here we go. How are you doing? Man, bad day. Bad day. Yeah. Yeah.

Told me she wants to separate. And she took the dog. Yeah. Not sure what else to say. You know, like when your wife tells you in the morning, I think we need to separate. That's not the best way to wake up. Then she takes the dog.

It's like, okay. That's pouring salt in the wood. Yeah, a little bit. You get back? No, I'm good, man. Thanks. Good luck, dear. Thanks.

Poor guy. He regrets asking that, doesn't he. He's like, you need a back. So when lunchboxes is asked, how you doing? He tells him. How's your day? How are you today? Terrible.

I don't know. So I'm going to keep my car, egg my house, and my fish died. You being serious? Yes. I'm really sorry. My goodness. Yeah. How much?

Yeah. One-09. Just take a deep breath. It's going to be okay. Is that how you handle it? Oh. My goodness. Well, at least you can go to, like, Pismore and get some of the fish.

Yeah, I know. But Goldie's gone. Oh, man. I just don't get better. I just feel bad for me now. She was sweet about it. She was. Hey, let's do one more.

When they asked him how he's doing, he just goes into this whole thing. Instead of Eddie going, I'm great, how are you doing? He's like, well, it kind of stinks, actually. Thanks for asking. How are you? Bad. My cat ran away. Someone broken.

Really? Yes. And then. someone broke into my car, stole my guitar, and my daughter's favorite teddy bear. It's one of those days. Yeah, that's such a cat. I would freak out if my cat, I would freak out.

I know. Thank you. Hopefully I'll find it. Oh, my God. I'm sorry. Thank you. What a downer. That just makes me feel off for it.

I know. That's why I was supposed to say, how you doing? I'm good. Thank you. How are you? That's it. Better than I deserve, man. This guy.

Lunchbox, you're crazy, dude. I think he was, like, living out, like, his fantasy. Like, guitar. I know, yes. Having a kid. I think he wants a cat. You know, a lot of things we learned there. All right.

We had our Iheart country festival, and it was awesome. I hope you go to bobbybones.com and look at pictures because Lady A was awesome. Rascal Flats were awesome. Jake going was awesome. Little Big Town, Jason Aldine. Like it really was fantastic and I hope you get the look of pictures. And for us, it was awesome. It was just such a great event.

And so if you listen to it, if you were there, if you watch it on TV, when it comes back on TV, it's going to be on TV soon. Like, I hope you check it out. I went over to Gary LaVox's tour bus. The cool thing about country music, like, no lie, is that everybody knows everybody. And I know everybody.

And I'm actually friendly with every single one. the artists. There are some in the format that I'm not, like we just genuinely don't get along. But every one of these, I'm cool enough to just go up on their bus without saying, hello, like, can I come in? So I go up to the Rascal Flats bus because we're shooting some TV stuff and a knock on the door, and because we're shooting it like, we're going to, I didn't think they were on the bus. Oh. And I was knocking on the door like, hey, I'm a big deal. Like, I can just get anybody to open the bus. And I was not. And the bit was nobody would ever open the door. I was like, no, no, no, no, I'm just a big deal.

They probably see it's meets. They're probably getting ready. And I would knock, and they wouldn't open, whatever, whatever. Yeah. And so all of a sudden, the door opens, and it's Gary LaVox's daughter. And she's like, oh, there's a new every morning. And I'm like, thanks. Oh, bit ruined, but that's awesome.

Thank you. And then Gary of the Vox comes around the corner and, like, puts me in a headlock. And the whole thing just went haywire. Oh. But when I say that this whole format, like, just people genuinely like each other. And we're happy to see each other because they don't get to see each other a lot. Because on the weekends, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, all these artists are on the road separately.

They're all doing their own things. And like Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, they're mostly like riding and trying to live a normal life at some point. So it was really good. Like, I probably talked to Aldine for 15 minutes. Just, we took a big group picture. Yeah. And it was every artist.

And so before we got there, Aldean and I talked, because I haven't seen him in a long time. And he was like, and we were talking about the lunchbox prank call. First he came to me, he goes, man, when you guys prank call, my realtor, he goes, I was laughing out. He texted me that morning when he heard it. He goes, I was laughing out loud.

And we just talked about, like... He complimented lunchbox on it, too, in our interview. Oh, did he? Yeah. He, like, walked in this first thing he said right before we interviewed him. He's like, that prank call was hilarious. And they also listen to the show, so they know when we, like, say good stuff and then not... Yeah.

Anyway, it was just awesome. Like, to see Darius is awesome because Darius lives in South Carolina. And so I don't get to see him as much, but Darius has, like, been my dude for longer than anybody. Like as far as like, who's my very first ever interview when I was 17? Like whenever I did the ACM, we present on the ACM on CBS, it was Darius and I. Whenever they did the most powerful people in country music and they match you up with somebody who has some, they match, they put Darius with me in that article. And so it was good to see Darius. It's just good to see everybody.

It was a fun time. All in one roof, yeah. Yeah, the format was the, I mean, it kind of is like a weird family. Like Little Big Town people are so awesome. I did separate things with Kimberly and Karen and so we talked for like 20 minutes before because you rarely get that one-on-one time unless you're like Karen's coming to my house

to do the bobby cast soon. Awesome. There was a funny boomerang of you and Kimberly and Karen dancing. I laughed at that one. I did a Facebook live with them in there when they were getting their glam ready. Yeah. So we hung out for a long time

and then we did a little boomerang and probably my favorite boomerang of the night. Even Brantley and I talked in the hallway for like 10 minutes because I hadn't seen him in a while. lay man you're good like how's that girlfriend I was like good how's the boy hey man you know you sound just like him

it's a good it's a fun time thanks everybody for hanging out with us Bobby Bones everybody Transmitted across America this show Had an awesome time on Saturday night at our IHart country festival I mean so many big stars played

and get the crowd just screaming man Darius Rucker play And that was awesome. And that was awesome, little Big Town play. Narragrant and Jake Owen played. I mean, it was one after the other. Four or five hits, stage flips, somebody else comes on. Our band, The Raging Idiots played, and we had to throw the old golden girls.

I think we confused the audience when we started playing that song. Because there were like 14,000 people, and it's like hit after hit, and it's like, hit after country star after country star. And then we're out there singing the Golden Girls. But it was fun. Like, we had fun. It was fun. No, it was fun.

Chris Jansen came out at the end of our set. So we'll be watching for the TV show. It was a really awesome night. So everybody looked good. Everybody did good. It was fun. I'm at like 90% voice capacity, but it was good. I know that everybody flew back and Lunchbox was saving a seat for Eddie.

Is that right, Lunchbox? Yeah, saving a seat for Eddie and some dumb lady got mad. So let me tell you what he was going to do. do. First of all, you can save seats on South West. There's no rule that says you can't. That's what they say. Okay. There's no rule that you can, but there's no rule that you can't. And so what happened, lunchbox saving a seat, and this way, the conversation that we had off the area goes, I'm going to tell you what, if she'd taken that seat, I was purposely going to spill a drink on her.

No. I say, all right. I swear to. What's wrong with you? No. That's true or false? True. That's true. No See I mean That's kind of homeboy I like that No

Don't do that No we are 35 36 year old Humans She was 52 No Okay That's not the point

You're gonna spill it On a 52 You don't You can't take us anywhere Well to be fair That reminds me of When I got married You all were placing bets

On dumping over my wedding cake That's true Not bets But we were younger then Offers. We were pulling money to see who would dump over your wedding cake. And it never got to the point that we would do it. You just casually walked by the cake table and knock it over.

Yes. That was like, okay. That was the bet. We were all standing there and go on. Okay, $400. Okay, $410. Nobody would do it. No takers.

No takers. Follow Bobby on Snapchat. Username Bobby Bones show. Our IHart Country Festival was Saturday night. If you go to Bobbybones.com, a lot of pictures. I was hosting and I was playing. It was one of those weird moments where as I was on stage, at the very beginning of the show,

so I was doing my little joky thing. I was done some jokes. And I was like, man, this is crazy that I get to do this. And I was actually talking to Karen and Fairchild as we were about to go on stage right after that. And we were just like, man, because I said at first, I'm like, man, I'm from a tiny town, a mountain pine in Arkansas, population 700.

Like, the fact that I get to be on our stage and host a festival and play in a festival and like if I can do this anybody can't there's any kid out there listening right now that thinks no I probably can't do that kind of thing

and Karen said the same thing she was like we're not supposed to be here like we're from a tiny town in Alabama and she was like and here we are playing these huge festivals and you know get in and play these shows to sold out crowds and I think sometimes

people look at where they are and go you know nobody in my town is doing anything Because in my town, everybody worked at the mill. You graduate high school, you went to work at the sawmill. And that's what everybody did because all we were taught to do. It was like, this is the process. You go to high school, and then you're done, and then you go work at the mill, and you live a happy life. You marry your high school sweetheart.

And if that's what you want to do, fantastic. And I hope that you find all of the fulfillment in the world in that. But if you're listening right now, and that's not what you want to do. Like, you don't have to do that. You can go and bust your butt and make decisions and make moves. and create relationships and get to where you want to be and I really felt like that.

This weekend I was up there, I was like, man, I'm from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. Like, I grew up on food stamps. I grew up on welfare. I graduated with 50 kids in my high school. I gotta have any help. And if I can do it, and I'm nuts, anybody can do it.

Yeah, that's okay. You can agree with that too. But I had that feeling, and then as I was talking to Karen, she was saying the same thing, we were sitting back there reading the prompter together. And she was like, it's just crazy. we get to do this for a living. It's a cool moment to have with her.

Even having that moment, you're having that moment with Karen from Little Bigtown. So if you're out there and you're listening right now and you're thinking, I don't care if you're 14, 27, 51, you're like, my environment says I should not do this. Man, screw your environment. Get out of that environment. That's all. I'm done. I just have one of those moments. And it's rare for me for me because I just go at 100 miles an hour all the time.

I don't appreciate things until way after. I only appreciate pictures of things. Okay. Because I'm like, man, look at that picture. That was awesome. But I appreciated it while I was there. Oh, I'm glad you had that moment because that is rare for you. It was good.

So that happened. They had these shirts. Oh, my goodness. Oh, you see this? Yes. Speaking of great moments. They had these shirts with all the artists on them. And they even had a shirt.

And on the shirt it said Bobby Jones and the Raging Idiots. Right. That would be you. I'm not Bobby Jones. They printed shirts that said Bobby Jones and the raging idiots. There's one on my Instagram right now, and I was like, man, just when I start feeling good about, like I'm doing something,

something bring me back down to earth. And that's how it should be. You should always have people that bring you back down to earth if your head gets a little big, and not my head's getting big, but whoever printed those shirts, I appreciate you. Because again, I was like, look at me, I'm starting to make, oh, oh, I miss fell my name on a T-shirt. Here I am hosting this.

Oh, I'm Bobby Jones. Dang, Bobby Jones back at it. I love it. I love your attitude about it. It was hilarious, though. But, I mean, what a mistake on somebody's part. I don't know who did it. I feel like people see Bobby Bones and then something like, that's got to be a typo. Oh, that's what happens all time.

I'm going to make an executive decision and go ahead and go with Jones. Even when I do like panel stuff on CNN or Fox News, they'll go, okay, let's start a Bobby Jones. Bobby, what do you think? I never correct them. And I'm just like, you know what about? And then I get off and I go, well, got me again. Back down to Earth. I come.

I did a Bobbycast, a show from my house, with Trainer Amide. And we were talking about how to healthy lose 10 pounds. Ooh, okay. And so you can listen to it. Go to IHeart Radio and search Bobbycast or iTunes and search and subscribe to the Bobbycast. And we usually put a lot of writers and songwriters and singers on there. But Traynor Ahmaid came in and I said, hey, what's the deal? We started talking about salad and to pour your dressing or to dip your dressing.

Like, really, what should you do? here's trainer-a-mod. Is there a benefit of putting dressing on the side versus dressing on? Yes. What's the difference? You dip, you eat. You know exactly how much. You can tell if you're eating too much you're dipping.

I would say only dip. Just dip the dressing. Any condiments. Just dip condiments. Don't pour condiments on your food ever. Because you really have no idea how much you're eating. You can just pour it all on there. Yeah, especially if you get the dressing, you don't know if they put half a cup or a tablespoon.

So I thought that was interesting. That's up. It's a Bobby Cass. It's just basically the talk was, it's about 25 minutes of, if you want to lose 10 pounds for the summer, here's how to do it the healthy way. So that's up there. Love it.

It's a well-rounded podcast. Thank you very much. Earlier Kelsey Ballerini was in, and we were talking about songs from the year she was born. Now, I'll play this game. I'm going to play the way, though, too, from the very beginning. I'm not going to play the version you played where we played the hook of the song. Oh, you're going to go.

Give me something, I don't know. Give me, like, songs from Europe in 1980 or something. Europe. I crush this stuff. Maybe. What? You don't know that you could name the songs from Europe. You want to know what I'm doing Friday night?

What? I'm taking Ray on a steak dinner. Oh. Wow. Did the boss have you do it in lieu of him? Not as well. Not as well. Not as well.

Ray, neither of the bosses that owe you a steak dinner have given you a steak dinner, have they? Oh, there's multiple? I'm, yeah, both, and I still am waiting for not one steak dinner has been offered to me yet from now. Poor Ray. So, I'm actually in town on a Friday night. Okay. And so, Ray, what happened? I just got a text inviting me and Bay to go to pretty nice five-star steakhouse in town on a Friday night.

And I'm like, free drinks, free steak, how can you turn that down? It sounds awesome. And Bone said he's bringing his girlfriend. So it's not just like me and bones sitting there staring at each other. You throw the girls into the mix, and it's like a chill atmosphere because the girls do all the talking. I would like to present you with a steak dinner Friday night I'm down I'm taking Ray out for a steak dinner Friday night

That's awesome That's freaking sweet Does that clear any of the bosses Or they stole you want to No that's fine I mean Anytime I get free food You know what

They're good then I guess Because they didn't tell me to do it I just felt like They ain't taking me to a steak dinner They just say that stuff And they never do it You know I see it up on that I see our boss in the hall

And I ask him I'm like Let's take dinner He's like I guess he was kidding Ray's our audio producer, so we'll be having a steak dinner Friday. That's awesome. As a sign of appreciation, we're going to Roots Chris. Yeah! Wow.

That's our race that he wanted to go, and I was like, I got you, dude. I'll take you to steak dinner. Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he gets to order whatever you want. Hey, Ray, you have whatever you want, buddy. Yeah! I feel like it's good.

Ray deserves something to come his way, you know? He's been waiting on a lot. He really wants that steak dinner, too. Yeah. Did you see that instead of putting you in a casket and putting you in the ground, you can get these biodegradable pods and you put your body into the ground and a tree grows from you? How do you feel about that? It comes from your, when you decompose, it uses...

Boom. Okay. So it's a biodegradable burial pod that turns your body into a tree. They call it capsule. Monday, it's egg-shaped, it's an organic casket, excuse me. Once buried, the biodegradable plastic shell breaks down

and remains provide the nutrients and there's a sapling in it as well and a tree comes up. Then eventually full cemeteries will just be forests. Our remains can, you know, give the nutrients. They could. But who cares

about our remains? I know I don't. I'm just fascinated that we can sprout trees. I think it's brilliant. I mean, yeah, it's pretty cool. So then when the tree grows, do you go, like, carve in it? Like, you know, Bobby, Bobby Bones or whoever it is, you know? Like, would me as your friend, would I go, is that your headstone? I hope your kids can build a treehouse in it and hang out.

That'd be amazing. Okay. So it would be like. But think of all the land with trees. It's out of, like, headstones. Headstones. Right. And just bodies in the ground.

It's like dead people trees. Yeah. To me, that sounds awesome. Hey, I'm down with it. It's pretty, it's got a story. I like it. I saw the guy that tried to run the less than two-hour marathon because it's never been done before. And so I watched it online on Friday night, and they were running it.

And Nike had this whole thing where they trained them a certain way. No one's ever run less than two-hour marathon. And so there were three of them that tried. And the goal was, for the first time in human history, to run a sub two-minute marathon. And? He ran it in two minutes and 25 seconds. Two hours? Excuse me, two hours.

I was like, well, two minutes, he won. Yes, he got that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah. That's got a... Two hours and 25 minutes. I have to 20-5 seconds.

My time's wrong. So he just needs to shave that off, so he's going to try again? I don't know. It was the first person in history to try it. Did you guys watch this at all on Twitter? No. No. Because they had it up.

They're running a whole live stream of it. Wow. Yep. They tried it beat two hours, and they got two hours and 25 seconds. It's rough. Like, dude, could you not sprint the last bit of it? Like, suck it off. Like you're about to be there.

Just go, go, go. I'm going to be in a baby and suck it off. Yeah, I wonder where he stalled too long. Did he take a water break? Oh, at the end? He started running backward to celebrate. Well, that's what got him. No, that's not what happened.

But anyway, there's that. Our IHeart Country Festival was on Saturday night, and I was hanging out with Derek before the show, and he was really sick. Like, Dirk's family was out of it sick. And he was like, I'm so going to do it. I was like, man, trooper. You know, got some shots. and I went out to talk to him right before this show.

Like vitamin shots. And I was like, dude, are you good? And he spits in his hand. And he goes, we're friends, right? And I'm like, I'm not touching your spit hand. Yeah. He goes, real friends would spit in their hand and shake mine. Yeah.

And I'm like, well, I guess we're not real friends then. Yeah. And so the mistakes around. I didn't shake his hand. And then he went up. And I haven't introduced him. I was like, hey, listen, everybody, he's sick. Like, he's out of the weather, hardcore.

And he got up. He still was really good, considering how sick he was. was because Dirks and Kelsey did different for girls too. Y'all give it up for you. And Kelsey was really good and was killing it. And then Dirk's, he was so sick. Nobody said it was fair. When love disappears, they can't pretend it was never there.

A guy who's always. So good. I mean, he crushed it at a time when he was like, man, I don't know if I can do it. No, he was not 100%. And they was telling jokes too. like spitting in his hand trying to touch me with it. No, during my interview, he got real close when he gave a hug and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you're sick

and on the interview, he said, well, I just figured, you know, you were close enough you may not care if you got what I got. It's almost like he was implying that I want to get Dirk's sickness so that I can be like, I got sick from Dirk Spindley. Yeah, be honored.

A couple things. First of all, thank you to Kelsey Ballerini for stopping and hanging out with us today. Second thing, I hope you enjoyed the IHart Country Festival You can listen back to the whole show today. Search Bobby Bone Show on either IHart Radio or iTunes and listen back. Third thing, I have another show that I do at my house called The Bobbycast. And you can listen to Marin Morris, stop by the house.

And this is Marin talking about her label. I wanted to hold off on putting my church out and put 80s Mercedes out first. Listen to this clip here. This is from my show. The day I wrote it, I kind of knew that was the one. My label was like, I think we should hold off on my church. Honestly, the odds are against me. I'm a new artist and I'm a girl.

So if I'm going to come out with one and one only, because this could very easily die, I'm going to do the song that means the most of me and says all I want to say if I only got one shot with a song. So that's part of the Bobbycast where we get to bring in a bunch of artists and songwriters and trainers and all that.

So you can search Bobbycast. Same thing, Iheart Radio or iTunes. We'll see you tomorrow. I don't even know. so much to talk about tomorrow. Somebody went to the lunchbox's house, and they can't come back with the report about how dirty it is.
