Another night on Dancing with the Stars. We'll talk about that later. I always, it's tough for me, I finish that show, and then your adrenaline is so up, because you just finish the live taping, and then you crash so hard, then I wake back up and have to come and do the show, which I love doing the show.

I love doing the show more than anything, but your body's like down up, down up, down up. It's like a burpee. It's like a life burpee. So, uh, that happened last night. I was reading this story, though, when I woke up this morning about Adele. She did not put out any music last year. She did not tour last year. She made every single day $31,000.

just from... What? Just from music. What? Yeah. Adele made $31,000 a day last year. Despite not releasing a record or even touring. Wow.

According to her latest company's accounts, she made over $11.2 million after taxes, which is $30,000 a day. That's unreal. What a life. Well, she earned it. Well... No, she created.

She has a talent. It would be like... like you invest in a company and the company just goes and does its work while you're just, you invest it in the company. That's what she did. Man. It's not just free money coming in, but that's a lot. I need something like

that. Well, you need to work. I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm trying. You need a talent. Trying to figure that out. Yeah. What do you think the key is to your future? I got to invent something. Invent. Yes. If you invent something, that's how you get rich. He wants to put something on Shark Tank.

That's how you make it. That's the American dream, I saw an article, like, the top 25 products ever from Shark Tank. Did you read that one? No, I haven't read it, but I can tell you some of them off the top of my head. Scrub Daddy has to be one of them. There was a dude on Dancing with the Stars from Shark Tank who married one of the dancers. Yeah. Robert?

Yeah. Her Seveck. Yeah. People love him up around the studio. They said he was the nicest guy. Really? Uh-huh. And you married.

Kim Johnson, is that her name? Yeah. And I think they're having a baby. Yeah. They were dancing with the stars partners. They didn't know each other and they didn't get married. Yeah. She hit the lottery.

He hit the lottery. Well, yeah, she's hot, but, I mean, apparently she's really nice, too. But he has a lot of money. I mean, he invented a lot of companies. He invented. Invented. No, he did it.

Or created a company. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever, all right. The Bobby Bones show. Big three stories. Is producer Raimundo? Hurricane Michael could hit the Florida panhandle.

Has a category two storm. It's going to hit late tonight or early tomorrow. In Kansas City, 20 students. had to be rescued after their school bus got trapped in rising floodwaters. The bus driver thought it was a puddle. And finally, congrats to Bones. He moved on on Dancing with the Stars. Props to him.

It's a Bobby Bones show. And Oklahoma City, Elena is on. Hey, Laina. Hi. What's happening? Nothing. I'm at work. I just wanted to call you guys and tell you that I love the show.

I've been listening since 2013. And you guys are like my coffee in the morning. and I can't function. I must all just have been to Bobby Bell. Oh, thanks. You know, I've recently started drinking coffee every day. Every day. I only tasted it about a month and a half ago for the first time, like coffee, coffee, coffee.

But does it count Elena that here's my coffee, okay? So I take the coffee and I pour it from the container. What's it called, Elena, a coffee tub? Coffee tub. What's it called it? A tuner. What? Elena, what do you call that thing that has the handle on it, the coffee's in?

A coffee mug. No, not the mug. What did you pour into the mug? Coffee pot? Yeah, pot. I'm such a nature. I'm due to this. Okay.

All right. Elena, follow me here, okay? So I take it, I pour the coffee pot into the mug or the cup, and I fill it about halfway up, and then I take it four sugars. And I put the four sugars in there, and then I take a bunch of creamer, and I take the creamer, and I put a lot of creamer in there. And I take a stick, and I mix it up. And it tastes pretty good. Now, Elena, does that mean me a coffee drinker or a creamer and sugar drinker? Well, in my family, you would be considered a coffee drinker.

but because we like a lot of cream and sugar, but I don't know. Do you ever drink it black? I've tried it black and I hate it. It's too bitter. It's so bitter. It really is. My grandma drinks it black and I don't know how she does it. Probably because back in the Civil War, that's all they could do, man.

Drink your coffee. Elena, thank you for calling. Appreciate that. What's your coffee drink around the room, Amy? I like an almond latte, almond milk. latte with maybe like a little bit of vanilla in it. Yeah. Right now, I'm, I still like the dirty chai latte if I get to pick with a couple shots of espresso.

But I'll just do black coffee with French vanilla. Creamy. Creamy. Creamy. I'll have some of that French vanilla creamy. And then a few sugars, then mix it up. Like you're talking like legit like coffee mate? Like cream?

Yeah, whatever's at the studio. Whatever's at the TV studio. Everybody's just around in the morning going. lunchbox you don't drink coffee huh no but i can crush some hot chocolate yeah oh yeah eddie i like it my grown self now is black coffee with a dash of cinnamon do you do black coffee just so you can say it though that you do black coffee no it's just i can take the taste now i don't know my taste buds are done but it just tastes fine to me now i was like you a lot of sugar a lot of creamer i mean i i could drink it black if i needed to

I think she is doing AMAs. Like she's doing the thing. Good for her. Anything else, Morgan, number two? Yeah, Eric Church says that some of his vinyl copies of his new album, Desperate Man,

include concert tickets for his upcoming tour. What if you buy a vinyl and you live in Michigan and the concert tickets are to Tampa? I'm sure that's not the case. I'm sure they shipped them to where the tickets are. But, you know, you never know. Maybe you're in Albuquerque and it's like, ooh, Eric Church tickets. Oh, in Bangor, Maine. There you go.

Is that it, Morgan number two? Yep, I'm Morgan number two. That's the skinny. Lobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes to us from Manchester, New Hampshire. Some criminals like to break into houses, steal some things.

This guy's like, why break in the house? There's a U-Haul full of stuff right there. He jumps in, drives off. Only problem is hard to hide a U-Haul. You-Ha. You got 20 miles down the road, ran out of gas, and was arrested. That would be hard to hide a U-Ha. Maybe you just blend in with the other U-Ha.

go to the U-Haul place. Yeah, you hide a plain sight. That's what I would do instead of just trying to hide it. Oh, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good.

I'm coming strong this morning, Amy. Okay. I'm coming so strong with this one. I read it and was like, I can't wait to tell Amy because I'm coming so strong with something good. Okay. So officers pull up to this car that's pulled over to the side of the road. They noticed the drive.

is out of the driver's side door, down on one knee, looking at the ground. Now, the car's pulled over, the driver's on a knee. They think something's wrong. The man is trying to perform CPR on a squirrel. Oh, my goodness. What? He accidentally ran over the squirrel. Now, the tires didn't go over the squirrel.

The car went over the top of the squirrel. Squirrel supposedly dies. The guy's giving CPR to the squirrel. Officers say, okay, listen, we don't know that we'd do this, but let me advise you on how to give CPR to a small animal. this is oh by the way it's all on the internet the guy's giving CPR the squirrel you then see the squirrel come back to life

and run into the woods and then the guy and the officers high five each other come on tell me I didn't come so strong with this story I didn't do it but tell me I didn't come so strong with that story

that's really strong but CPR a little teeny tiny baby squirrel Amy every life's a life of Jesus I know now I'm thinking like this is good this is good for us to know that if we hit a squirrel, we need to stop and resuscitate.

I don't know that I would. I would be afraid of the squirrel would come alive and eat me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bite your nose off. You know what, but good for this guy. It all worked out for him. And that is tell me something good. That was tell me something good.

I was like, oh, boy, I didn't know. Wow. Okay. Give it what I know, Bobby. Come on. What do people use garlic as a homemade remedy for? I feel like this is not a fair question. It could be a homemade could be anything. I'm going to pull this question out. The answer is acne. But people could use it for all kinds of.

Thanks, Amy. Yes. Feels good. One win away. From someone who didn't want to win. Oh, yeah. She's probably never seen her more pocket. But I also want it to end.

So maybe I'll throw tomorrow's game. Oh, wow. Now she's talking smack. All right, there is. The Bobby Bones Show. What do you have over there, Amy? Okay, I read a story about the dirtiest things at restaurants. You know, we've heard about lemons and don't put them in your drink, this and that.

But the number one dirtiest thing at a restaurant is a menu. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know where I went to eat, by the way? And I love the place, but their menu is, one, it's way too big. But two, I thought about that because it was just grody. It was Cheesecake Factory?

Uh-huh. Yeah. Listen, I love Cheesecake Factory. they have every option. Their menu is like an encyclopedia. But I was thinking, man, how many people touch this thing? A lot. And then the number one grossest thing, huh? Yeah. And I, they just don't do a good job of really cleaning them all the time. And if you think about it, everyone is sits down, you grab the menu, you may, you may even go to the bathroom, wash your hands. And then you sit down and you grab the menu. Boom. Hands are dirty again. And then the other thing you need to

worry about on the table is all the different shakers and options, whether it's salt shaker, pepper shaker, cheese shaker, whatever it is. Because they never get... Listen, I waited tables for a long time in my life. I wash dishes to bus boy, bus boy to waiter.

And we would clean the menus occasionally. We'd wipe them down, but we never clean the shakers. And the shaker, they tested all the shakers. Like say you got all kinds of options of things to sprinkle on your food,

well, pepper comes in at harboring the most germs. For whatever reason, maybe that's what people grab the most. but that's interesting. Well, I'm never, hearing that story makes me never want to eat again.

Yeah, well, you do like I do. I carry around my own salt with me. You're weird, you're so weird. You make your own deodorant. You carry your own salt. You're like Laura Ingalls Wilder

at a restaurant. I do. Sometimes it gets me pulled over in airport security and I'm like, oh, that's just my salt. Bobby bones. In Virginia. Elena.

Hi. How are you? Good. Thanks for calling. What's going on? So I have a dumb debate question. My roommate, when she gets out of the shower, she always leaves the shower curtain open. But when I get out, I leave it shut.

And now I want to know who's right and what do y'all do. Okay, so you get out of the shower, you have the curtain. Do you leave it open when you're done or do you reclose it? I know how I've thought about this. Oh, I know what I do. Okay, hold on a second. Let me think. Taking a shower, armpits, underneath, clean all that.

You can get the towel. Check underneath again. Still clean. Okay, good. Okay. I don't close it. I'm just thinking I leave it open. No part of me reaches back over and pulls it back over.

So I don't know that I'm right, but I don't close it. Amy? I close it. For one, I want it to dry out, like in case anything's gotten wet and needs to dry. And for two, I just don't like walking in and seeing like the shower and the shampoo and all that stuff everywhere. I like it closed. You don't like seeing that, huh? No, because I have a pretty shower curtain.

You need to close it. Huh. So it looks better. Like, aesthetically, you don't like seeing inside the shower. No. I don't like seeing the shower. tub and the whole thing. Like if you close it, then it looks more put together. Is that like not knowing how hot dogs made?

I mean, like, I never thought that would even be something. I mean, my shower's fine. I'm not saying it's bad, but I just don't like, if you have a choice of like putting a pretty curtain over it or leaving it wide open, I'm going to close it. I'm not hating. I just never thought that was an ugly thing. Yeah. Maybe I'm a dude though. Yeah, it's probably that. Lunchbox, what you think? Oh, I leave it open. I don't understand why you'd close it because I thought you want the shower to dry out and it's more work to get back in the shower when you have to open it again. No, just leave it open so it's ready to go. Okay. What do you think

on this, Elena? I leave it closed because same thing like Amy, you want it to dry out and you want it to look nice. If that's really a thing and you want it to look nice, I totally get it. To me, I just never thought about that. So you and your roommate fight about this? Well, no,

but she'll leave it open and then whenever I go in, I close it. Do you have an issue with your toilet, Amy, and your husband? Does he leave the lid up? Yes, that's always been a thing. It's so much so where if I get up in the middle of the night, like it's been a thing because I'll just think I can just sit down and go to the bathroom room and I'm like, oh. Okay, but can I just make a point here? I mean the seat, yes. That if he's done that for years, isn't it kind of on you to check?

Yes, but when it's the middle of the night and I'm tired. But let me just say. And I'm half asleep. But let me just say again. Let me just say again from my heart. In life, all we can ask for from people at their most is consistency. And if he's consistently not doing what you ask, he's not going to do it. Yeah.

And do you hold it against him? When you fall in the toilet, do you get mad at him? Yeah, I'm frustrated. So you get mad at him for being him. Yeah. And also, he doesn't shut, when he opens the drawer to get a t-shirt out,

he doesn't shut it all the way. He shuts it halfway. Oh yeah, that's terrible. Now, that I would get irritated with. Yeah, it's annoying. Yeah. Well, I tell you what, Elena, I'm on your side.

If you want to close, I don't think there's much effort for her to have to close it. Thank you. I would go, even though I feel differently that I think you're right on this dumb debate side because I kind of side with Amy

most of the time when it comes to things like this. But yeah, and if it doesn't work, move out. Burn the place down. Whatever. Yeah. Hey, where do you listen to Virginia? Arlington, Virginia.

Oh, so like MZQ. Yeah, MZQ, like D.C. area. Yeah. Are any of all going to be at the Fall Fest this weekend? I am doing Dancing with the Stars. So if I don't get kicked off, that's what I'm doing. I am going to be in Texas. But it's kind of crazy whenever she says that.

I literally almost lived in Arlington. It's crazy. When your husband was in Lentary? Yeah, like we went and looked at homes there. It's crazy. Hey, thank you for the call. I hope you have an awesome day. Thank you so much.

I appreciate you. Yeah, I appreciate you. And thanks for listening. Yeah, appreciate you. You. It was really nice of Kelsey to come by dancing with the stars last night. She texted me the night before. It was like, hey, I know you're in California.

Let's go get dinner. And I say, hey, I can't. I'm going to do dancing with stars. So she came to the show last night and sat in the crowd. It was awesome. She came to the trailer first. So she came early and we hung out. And then she's going to play a little later in the studio.

And then she went to the show and sat there. And I went to her before I danced, which, by the way, if you're new to the show, I'm on dancing with the stars this season. And I went up to her about two people before I danced. And she looked at me in the face and was like, I am so nervous for you. I've never been this nervous for anybody in my life. And I said, man, that's what Amy said when you were there, right? Yes, no. I mean, it's crazy.

The nerves that are flying through you whenever you're about to be there because you're just watching it and you feel so helpless. And it's like, if you mess up, there's nothing we can do. And we just want to come scoop you up and make sure you're okay. So, and I mean, when you're there, you know that maybe you could be of some help, but then when you're watching on TV, you just want to like reach through the TV and be like, okay, you got this. But, I mean, you've done so well. Last night, I got 887.

Crazy. How did you feel about the scorning? Did you think it was too high, too low, just right? No, I feel like it was just right. But, I mean, I was a little shocked when they busted out with the eight initially. I was kind of like, oh, my. gosh, an eight. I was like, woo! And then it went seven and I was like, ugh. And then it went eight again. And I was like, wow. Like, because that's your highest score you've ever gotten.

And then I was watching it with my dad. And I looked over and I said, dad, what do you give him? And he goes, an eight. So that, I mean, I feel like the consensus was that you were an eight. I'm going to tell you, I told my partner, and we'll get to this after Kelsey comes in, because I know they're about to come in. I told my partner before we went on. She was like, hey, they're going to show your package, put your face on camera. And I was like, what? No. She goes, are you going to get emotional? I said, no. I'm not going to get emotional. Like, I said anything they're going to put on. I said it. So I'm not going to get emotional. That stupid thing starts. And I started talking about my mom.

And it's like, uh-oh. And I started to feel the damn crack. And I was like, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, I got. And I started to get emotional. And I did not expect to do that. Oh, I was, when I was watching it and I was like, wait, he's watching it? Is that him watching it? I know. I was like, he's not supposed to watch it because it could affect his dancing. Exactly. And they made us watch it. And I tried to squeeze my face to make me not get emotional. I knew you were. I looked at my friend, we were all watching it together, and I was like, okay, he makes that face when he's trying not to cry. You make that face all the time if you try not to cry.

I was like, because I think maybe even my dad or somebody said something like, what's, what's wrong with this? What is he doing? What's wrong? But I mean, it really was that you, that's the squinty face you make when you're like, oh, I don't want to cry, but I'm able to cry. I think I was trying to fight crying because even in the clips I was like I don't want to cry on TV turn the cameras off Like in my package

Whatever and then I was like all I was all they call it on tilt when you're a little too emotional And I was like great now I got to try to remember this dance being a little too emotional But then when it was over I was just like oh it was weird man You did so good and let me say that I I'm so impressed with Sharna the choreography that she came up with for that was so perfect and beautiful and I felt like she, I mean, I don't, I'm not an expert. When have I ever paid attention to like the choreography of something and how it matches up? But something about it was just the storytelling of it was perfect. Thanks.

I didn't know what really they were going to use because it was your best year. And for me, I picked the year I graduated high school because I was the first one of my family to do it. And I didn't know if they were going to use, because you do like 10 interviews and you just talk for an hour. and they just keep asking you all these questions and I only threw a part in by my mom at the end and I was like oh you know what was really cool about it was my mom you know she had me with she was teenager so she didn't finish high school and after I finished she went back and got her GED

and they used it and they should have I mean it was a part it was definitely apart but that's what cracked me yeah me talking about me whatever me talking about my mom who's not alive anymore and I told Sharna's I'm not going to cry don't worry about me I started cracking.

She came up and she was like, hey, hey, you're good. If you mess up, I got you. And I was like, all right, all right. And I did pretty good. Now, I got 8, 8, 8, 7. Lunchbox, what do you think of my score? Is too high or too low? No, I thought they were right on.

I thought they were a little bit better more on what you did dancing. Last week they were just trying to motivate you. They were rough on you. Last night you were solid dancing. I thought they gave you the perfect scores. You're not 10 yet. You're not to a 10, so you don't deserve a 10. No, I definitely don't deserve a 10.

You're getting there, though. You're getting there. You're improving. You think so? You can definitely see you're more comfortable and you're not thinking about it as much. The first week I felt like you looked like you were kind of thinking about, okay, four, five, six, seven, eight, move your feet.

But now you're just kind of flowing. And when you were bouncing on the bed, it looked like you were just having fun. Well, thanks. Well, that was the point of it too. Like she wanted, like, whatever. You can watch it online. She wanted to what?

She wanted it to be, that's what that was, that bed part, like a kid thing. I'm back to being a kid. Yeah. So thanks to everybody for voting, too. The only way I'm going to keep going on the show is by the listeners. Because I'm definitely not going to get the highest scores. So I'm just trying to be the people's dancer, you know?

Yeah. That's all I'm trying to do. They're voting. Like, my friend, she told me, she was like, look, she texted me. She's like, I've never voted for anything except for, like, political things. She's like, I have exhausted all resources and I've voted for him every single week. I genuinely appreciate people that would call and vote for me because I would never call for anything. Like, vote.

Like, who does that? Like, I'm just saying that as someone. So when our listeners do that, I'm going, oh, my God. Like, I owe them everything for being on the show. So there's, yeah, I really appreciate it. Because I'm having a wonderful time because it's so hard. Yeah. You know, Ramundo made the comment.

I could have been on any reality show on the whole world where you just hang on the house or like, there's like girls or there's a, you can be on a boat. And he goes, I pick the one where I have to go train for seven hours a day. It's the thing I'm absolutely the worst at. Yeah. It's like nowhere. It's not even the same category type of reality show. No.

Yeah. They kicked off Nancy last night from Facts Alive. I was kind of sad. I like her. Yeah. She's really nice. Yeah, I know. I'm torn because it's like I hate seeing certain people go, but like they're going to have to go because, I mean, I want you to win.

So do we think just around the room real quick that I can win the show as of right now? Amy. Yes. Eddie? As of right now, you're really close. I'm not going to say yes yet. Lunchbox? No.

this reality we have a yes a maybe and a no yeah all right I think I think if I continue to get better I can

because I think I'm a normal person that makes sense yes I think I'm representing like normal people and I'm goofy and I may floss at any time you don't even know

why did the apple get really into Pilates why did the apple get really into Pilates to work on his core. Yeah. Amy, it's the best job you've done at a joke in a long time. I give it an

eight. I give it an eight. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, look at you. Hey, let me say this, by the way. It is Joy Week. I'm going to mention it again a little bit.

Thanks for coming back for another Joy Week on the show. I'm so excited to be back. Thank you for having me. How many joy weeks is this for you? I think this is my third time being a part of Joy Week. But this is my first time doing like the full thing, like the full six songs and hanging out with you guys all morning. So yeah, it's super exciting to just like be a bigger part of it this year. And obviously like this week's incredible and just spreading joy and love and light. I feel like I try to do that in my music.

I've always kind of try to keep that as the heartbeat of what I do. So to be a part of it, you know, bigger like this is it's a big deal. Well, we're glad you're here. We obviously only ask our closest friends to come and do Joy Week. Amy, anything that you want to ask Kelsey before we kick off the music here. Okay, so just going off what you said just now, if you could offer encouragement to anybody listening on how to spread joy or be that light, what's a tip that you would give people? I think just being aware, I think like looking up from, you know, phones and computers and just like looking around and seeing like that that person looks like I should buy their coffee or like as small as that. or I'm going to open that door for that person because I decided to look up and see that they needed that. You know what I mean?

Just little things like that. That has a big ripple effect and anyone can do it. So I think just being aware and being present. I feel like that's so true. And yes, it's your third time. So you're like one of our OG pimper's of joy and you definitely wear our Pimp and Joy stuff. I do.

I do. All over your Instagram, which we always love. So thanks for being here. Oh, thank you. Speaking of Pimp and Joy, our neon Pimp and Joy line is on sale right now at bobby bones.com. We don't keep any of the money.

It goes to our Pimp and Joy military fund. And Kelsey Ballerini is here right now with her full band. All right, Kelsey, what are you going to play first? Set it up. This is my new single. This is called I hate love songs. Hey guys, so because of licensing rules,

we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can go to bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision. But I just wanted to keep you up

and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now. And thank you for listening to the show. And sorry about all the legal stuff. Come on. I see what you did there. Kelsey Ballerini is here performing with our band for Joy Week. Kelsey, introduce your band to us.

Okay, so over here we have Chris Wright. Do you want to say hi? Beautiful. And then over here we have Phil on the drums, Cajon Shaker, all the things that make the beats. And then over here we have Reed on the other guitar and Harms. Hi. Yeah.

And by Harms is that. Harms, harmijon cheese, harmonies. I just said that. All right, all right. Let's keep it going. Kelsey Ballerini's here. What song are you going to do now? This is called Peter Pan.

There we go. Joy week, back with Kelsey. Kelsey, I want to take a second. I'm talking about what's going on with you. I saw that you're going on tour with Kelly Clarkson next year. How does that happen? Did she call you up personally? She didn't call me personally, but we have each other's emails.

And so whenever it came through that, you know, she wanted me to open for her, I immediately emailed her. And I was like, does this mean that we can, like, hang out and, like, be friends? And, like, maybe, like, I can call you, like, my big sister or something. And she was like, yeah. And I was like, I'm in. I was, I'm really excited. So you had some other good news come out, too. Where were you when you found out about your CMA nomination for female vocalists of the year?

Oh, I was on the road, I think. That seems to be a common theme. But, no, I mean, I really feel like, nominations, especially the CMA nominations. It's like, that's like the snapshot of what country music looks like right now, those categories, you know? And so to be a part of like those five females that people think are kind of representing females right now in countries, it's a big deal. And I'm really honored to be able to be there and put on the pretty dress and sit with cool kids. Well, we're all super proud of you.

We were talking during the break just a minute ago, and you said you were going to strip it down and do just you and your guitar for a cover. And you're always awesome at doing covers. What cover are you going to play for us this morning? And then why did you pick it? So this is landslide. I'm covering this on tour right now. I was actually just messing around on my bus one day learning songs that I love.

And I stumbled across this song and playing it kind of how I play the songs that I write by myself, just like really easy guitar picking. And ended up just kind of falling in love with stripping it like this and playing it live. So I wanted to do it for you this morning. Here you go. It's Kelsey Ballerini, doing a solo acoustic performance.

of landslide. Come on. Thank you. Man, that's so good. Okay, let me ask a question here. So I saw on Instagram you had your 25th birthday in Mexico with your friends. So how does that work? Do you pay for everybody?

That's a funny question. I just, I randomly had my birthday week off. And I haven't really had like a proper like birthday in a couple years just because I've been on the road so much. And so I like blocked it and I texted all my friends and I was like, I have the week off. Southwest goes to Cancun, or Cosmell, whatever? Can we go? And yeah,

and we all block the time. But yeah, I got the house. I bet you're hard to birthday shop for, huh? I mean, honestly, you just get me a glass of wine, and it's like, we're good. That's what Morgan got me. He got me, like, a subscription to, like, this wine thing. Oh, which one? It's through, it's Prisoner.

Orrin Swift. Prisoner's my favorite wine. Oh, okay. So he got me, like, a subscription to that. Oh, I'll have to Google that. Okay, so it's Joy Week. Kelsey Ball, Bailorini is here with their band. We've got our neon Pimp and Joy shirts, hoodies, tanks. Just go to Bobby Bones.com. All the proceeds going to help military veterans.

I'm going to take the reins here and set the next song up because Kelsey Ballerini's here. Here's a live performance of legends. Joy Week is here. Kelsey's here. Been playing all morning long. Kelsey, you did a collaboration with the chain smokers, a song called This Feeling. I'm curious, how did that come about? It's been such a cool journey with them because we've been friends for a couple of

years and I've been really open that they're like my dream collab like I've really wanted to to collab with them for a long time and I covered Paris on my Instagram like two years ago and I covered closer all during the leg and antebellion tour last year and yeah they just reached out and I love the song and it's it's really similar to like the whole vibe of my album which is just like following your heart instead of your head and so I really connected with it and we've just had so much fun like shooting the video and recording it together and they're great guys and so yeah I'm really excited about it. So when you guys cut

the song, did you actually go into the studio together or did you cut your part completely separate? What's so funny is I actually did it in Nashville and I sent it to them and they're like, okay so here's the thing. We can't understand the way that you're saying a couple of these words because it sounds very southern and I was like

what? Like if it's an example. Like I was saying hands instead of like hand I can't even say it straight now but it's like I was saying hands because I'm from me, Tennessee. And so we ended up going up to New York together and doing it all on the same studio, which was actually really cool to be able to just collaborate, you know, with their energy in the

same room. But yeah, there were certain words that they're like, okay, but try like hands. And I'm like, hands. They're like, nope, hands. I'm like, hands. I couldn't do it. That's funny, man. It seems fitting since we just talked about it.

Will you play that one for us now? Yeah, we'll play you the country version. All right. It's Joy Week on the Bobby Bone show. here is this feeling from Kelsey Ballerini. Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore,

but you can go to BobbyBones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up, and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to BobbyBones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to the show,

and sorry about all the legal stuff. That was awesome. All right, Kelsey Ballerini is here. All right, you're a millennial. I'm always curious because MySpace was huge for us growing up. You're so young. Did you ever even have a MySpace? I still, okay, I still have my MySpace because I don't know my password to delete it.

So, like, there's, like, photos of me, like, in middle school still on my MySpace that you can just Google and get to because I don't know how to take it down. That's definitely making us feel old, for sure. Okay, so who would make your MySpace top four friends today? Okay. I would say Hillary Scott I would say Thomas Rett I would say

I would say Rachel Platton and I would say Miss Swift Wow Oh so isn't Taylor Swift Speaking of Taylor I know you guys have a pretty good friendship

Has Taylor ever given you career advice? Yeah Really really early on When I was on radio tour actually I was like I had just gone through media training and they kind of tell you how to like answer certain things and redirect questions and all that. And I think I was overthinking everything. Every time I was answering any question, I would just overthink it.

And it didn't sound like me at all. And I was talking to her about it and she was like, you just need to like focus on saying things how you would say them and being how you are because, you know, like eloquent isn't always like what people want to hear. They want to hear you and get to know you. And that really helped me early on just be like, okay, like don't worry about saying something wrong or saying something silly, just say whatever you would actually say in real life, and that'll hopefully translate better, which was cool.

That's good advice. Everybody, clap your hands, Kelsey Ballerini's grand finale of Joy Week. Here it is, Love Me Like You Mean. All right, everybody, one more hand for Kelsey Ballerini and her band. And we'll come back. Thank you. Bobbybones.com, Kelsey Ballerini, thank you. Thank you, Kel.

It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So this guy is legit calling his dog, his angel, because dog saved his life completely. His house caught on fire, but he was asleep. Then around 2 a.m., the dog came into his room and started barking to try to wake him up. He almost didn't even want to listen to him because he thought, what are you doing? Like, why are you waking me up?

And then he went downstairs and his whole house is on fire. Oh, wow. Yeah. And had his dog not woken him up at that moment because it was spreading so quickly, I mean, things could have been much, much worse. So he is crediting his dog for saving him. his life and his home. My dog are just left.

He'd been like, oh, fire. He'd understood fire. But he'd been like, yeah, this is not for me. I'm going to go ahead and get out of here and hope I see Bobby on the other side. Yeah, come for that dog. Not this dog. Nope, went and woke the owner up.

I think I'll get a new dog. It's going to be probably next year. I don't know, girlfriend or dog first. Oh. I'm really, I know. Because I think probably my next girlfriend, maybe my second next girlfriend will be probably the one. Because I don't have time to get involved

with somebody that I don't think could be the one. you know so either my next girlfriend well maybe two maybe I'm two girlfriends away at this point which doesn't say a lot you know the next girlfriend who knows yeah but then I get a dog with her then a baby then I don't know college yeah all that yeah what am it's hard to plan but I think you should get the dog first and then the girl it's not hard to plan I find everything every part of my life it's true well then to the dot I say my vote would be dog first then girl really well because then you don't because if you get the girl first and then you'll get a dog together and then you break up.

She's going to feel like to attach. But she's the one, though. Yeah. So maybe I get the dog after the second girlfriend. Then for sure she's. Okay, all right. Amy, thank you for that story. That's good.

That was tell me something good. Hey, folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby bones. Amy, you know the segment that we do with our head of digital Morgan number two? Yeah. What did 24 year olds care about? That's right. Here, play the song.

What do 24 year olds care about? Here we go. It's a big bit because what we do is we do is we're able to go. go into the mind of Morgan number two, who's 24 and see what she's thinking about. Right, Morgan number two? Yeah. Okay. But she's now 25.

She had a birthday. That's right. So we had to change the segment. So now I present to you what do 25 year olds care about? Here we go. All right, Morgan number two, what do you have? So Natty Light may not be like the best beer in the world, but they just up the beer game by making a 77 pack of beer. How do you even carry that?

Walk me through this because I've never had beer. I never tasted beer. But Natty Light, that's natural light, right? Yeah. And you want to know where that's on the totem pole? You mean in like the kind, like the quality? Yeah. Okay, where is it?

The bottom. Okay, is it the cheapest? It is the cheapest beer you can buy. And that's why they're able to do a 77 pack because it probably costs the regular amount of the 24. pack of nice beer. Morgan number two, do you know how much a 77 pack is? Yes, $30.

Wow. What? That is telling you how cheap that beer is. Wow. Do you drink Natty Light lunchbox? Oh, in college all the time. College in high school. Yeah.

What about now? No, no, no. People don't. I mean, I don't know anybody that drinks Natty Light now. You don't go to the bar and be like, hey, can I get a Natty Light? No, because you're older and you want to drink. You can afford something better. What's your favorite beer lunchbox?

Oh, Bud Light, Coors Light, Shinerbach, any of them, you name it, I'll drink it. Except Natty Light. I mean, I'll drink it if you give it to me, but that is not anybody's preference. The only reason you prefer that beer is because you're in college and it's cheap. What about Mad Dog? People use drink Mad Dog. I don't even think they make Mad Dogg anymore. Oh, they don't?

No. Is that Mad Dog 2020? Oh, gosh. No, that's too. Matt, you're right, Amy. That's what it is. Everyone, Amy, when you said that,

all the guys looked up in the room and then went, no, no, no, no. I don't even know what that is. But because I don't drink, again, I don't drink. This is all different language to me. But lunchbox, your power rankings of beer

that normal people drink. Number one is probably Miller Light, Corps's Light. Core's Light. And number three? Ah, Natty Light. Okay.

Oh, stop it. You're crazy. There you have it. Morgan number two, thank you. And that's what 25-year-olds care about. It's a Bobby Bones show. Lunchbox, you and your wife? Want to take dancing lessons now?

Well, no, no, no, no. Correction. My wife wants to take dancing lessons after seeing you on Dancing with the Stars. She thinks, oh my gosh, Bobby makes that look so much fun. We should do that. I think it's a great thing to do as a couple. Once a week for an hour, that'd be awesome. Yeah, she's been looking into Tuesday nights because she thinks that's the perfect night.

And so she's been doing research on the internet And I'm like, listen, I understand Bobby makes it look fun But he says it is so hard He has to practice six hours a day And we don't have six hours a day to practice But he's training for something Like y'all could just take like an hour lesson every week for fun Like lunchbox I'm in a competition

In front of millions of people Right Just do it I think you should do it I think you'll have fun You should totally do it I think as a couple Like how's the spice in the marriage since the baby's been born.

I mean, the spice is a little, how do you say, dole? I mean, it's not as spicy. Yeah, bland, there you go. It's a little bland because the kid, let's be honest, it does get in the way. You're concentrating more on taking care of the kid than you are concentrating on, you know, mm-hmm. Taking care of the man?

There you go, Bobby, you said it yourself. Taking care of the man. Stop it. Or the woman. Yeah, taking care of each other. Yeah. I mean, I was just saying what I thought he was going to say. I know.

Let's do celebrity net worth game I'll give you two celebrities Amy, tell me who's worth more Okay, we'll take turns Who's worth more? Jackie Chan or The Rock The Rock. Amy?

The Rock is worth $220 million Jackie Chan is worth $350 million. What? Why? I thought the Rock did everything. I think Jackie Chan's an international megastar for a long time.

Good point. Lunchbox. Who's worth more? George Clooney or Tom Hanks? Oh, that's got to be George Clooney. George Clooney's worth 500 million.

Yeah. That's half a billion. Wow. Tom Hanks is worth 350 million. Lunchbox, you're right. You think some of that's because of George Clooney's tequila? It could be. This isn't all acting money. Yeah, this stuff's good. Amy one more. Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper. They've done some movies together.

Who's worth more, Jennifer Lawrence or Bradley Cooper? Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence, net worth 110 million. Wow. Yeah, right? Bradley Cooper net worth 100 million. You're right, Amy.

Lunchbox. Kiano Reeves or Ben Affleck? And this one's not close. This one is not close. It's not close. Is Keanu Reeves a writer? I'm going to go Keanu Reeves because Speed made a lot of money

back in the day. Speed. Ben Affleck's worth 160 million. Kiano Reeves worth 360 million. Which is crazy. There you go.

For what? I don't know. I don't get to open the books. Letters in the mailbox. What was that movie? Don't be a hater of Ben Affle. Postcards at the lakehouse. I think it was called the lake house. Oh, okay.

Speaking of movies, Mike D. went and saw Venom. Mike D. writes a bunch of the games on the show. He travels. He's on the road with me. You saw Venom? Yeah. And was it any good or no? Not very good. He said it was not good.

Mike D. said, again, he loves those superhero movies, too. And he said, but it made like $80 million or something. But, and you wanted it to be good, right, Mike D? I wanted to. I love superhero movies. And it wasn't good? No. So he's a bad guy?

Yeah, he's a villain. And they made a whole movie about a villain? Yeah, it's like an origin story. Oh boy, here we go. Guys, we're going down the rabbit hole. Oh, what story? An origin story, like how they came to be. Oh, cool.

Don't be a hater. I'm not. Would my kids like it? Yeah, I'm probably not. It's right at R. It's right at R. Oh, okay. He said it was kind of like Deadpool where they tried to be funny, but they weren't super funny. Oh. I was reading a story about tattoos and how they don't have an effect on your work life at all anymore because everybody has them. Oh, that's good. Mm-hmm. According to a new study, tattoos have no effect on your ability to get a job or your salary. It doesn't even matter if tattoos are visible. And so I have tattoos, a few. And people always wonder what the big black blob is in the back of my arm. Like last night.

Mm-hmm. And it's the state of Arkansas. Yeah, duh. blacked up. No, not duh, because it doesn't look like tape sometimes. I'm just kidding, yeah. But yeah. You know, face tattoos maybe would hurt you a little bit right now. Yeah, but given another 20 years, maybe people will be okay with it. Bobby Bonds. I haven't heard this back yet and I haven't watched my Dancing with the Stars performance last night, like fully. You know, I, last night it was on that show. It was what they call most memorable year. And for me, I picked the year I graduated high school because I was the first person

to my family to do that. And then, you know, my mom, having me, she was a teenager. And then she went back and got her GED after I graduated high school, which was really cool to me. And she did that before she passed away. And so they run this package and they interview you all week. Amy, if I told you that I did four hours of interviews throughout the week about this, I'd probably be under timing it.

Wow. You just go into rooms, they just talk to. It's almost like they're trying to beat things out of you. Not in a bad way. They just are trying to get down to the bottom of things. Yeah. They want to make sure they're covered. And so they're running this package and they tell us right before the show starts,

hey, we're going to show your packages and we're also going to show you watching your package. And I'm like, oh, well, that's interesting. And my partner on Dancing with Stars says, hey, are you going to be okay? Because she's been encouraging me not to watch my packages because she goes, hey, it'll put you kind of on tilt a little bit. It'll make you feel emotional and you may not be able to focus. And I'm like, I'm fine. I'm me. I'm strong.

And then I watch it and I start to. crack as I'm watching it. And I forget that my face is going to be on camera. And like Amy said earlier, I started making this squinny face thing. It's like, mm-hmm, because I'm trying to not, I don't want to cry. I don't want to be boo-boo head. Right. And you have so much going on. You have your dance. You're about to go do and it's a lot to handle. But I do feel like watching it, especially in a dance where you should be exuding emotion and you're telling a story that maybe it was good that you watched it before and you, were filled up.

No? No. I think I would have done a better job if I wouldn't. Because I'm not a dancer. I got decent scores, but I don't know. Did I come off as a whiny baby crying during it? I know you and I know, no. I don't think so.

I don't know people that don't know you thought like, oh, what's up with that guy? Yeah, what's up with the guy with the funny face? Keep it together, like. Keep it together, you idiot. That's what I was thinking. I know. I felt for you and I could see why I know why it was totally emotional. So I got it.

So I'm not a good person asked. You'd have to ask a stranger. Like, is that guy a whiny baby? Yeah. Maybe we do that bit. Yeah. So I do the dance and I finish and I do almost to the best of my ability. I had a couple missteps, small things, but I really was proud of the dance.

And we finish and the judge has been throwing out nines and tens all night. And I was like, I don't know if I deserve a 10 or even a nine. But I didn't know. And so here's the judges last night. I think this is Carrie Annanaba first. I think here we go. You know, every once in a while on the show, we get to see like real moments of authentic magic

that just they blow us away. I can't even exactly put in words. What about that routine was so spectacular? But it was magic and we all experienced it. And that is what I love about art and dance. And thank you for tapping into it. I hope it takes you so far because tonight it took you miles ahead of where you were last week.

There you go. Thank you. And so I'm like, wow. I'm about to just win the show right now Like that's a huge compliment Like just hand me the mirror ball If it's that good And then she only gave me an 8

But which is great for me Only it's awesome No no but Amy That was a big compliment Like I thought it was like Like I was gonna be president or something Right it was her words Yeah it was great though

It made me feel I love the compliment Because I needed it I was kind of down in the dumps the last couple weeks Because last week I was beside myself I did so bad Here is Lynn The middle judge go ahead That guy singing

The whole thing, you know, I usually can't stand it. If I see a bed, I'm really concerned. I love. It wasn't like that. Look, I've not been a high scoring judge for you. However, this was your best dance. That's all I can say. That made me feel good.

Yeah, and then here's Bruno, the third judge. Honest, real, fantastic dancing. The storytelling was so. Super, contemporary suits your body. But above all, I keep that inner child alive because he's in there and is well. Keep it going. There you go. And I got 8, 7, 8.

That's good. Like, really? It's good for me. 23? It's the best I've ever done. And then I appreciate everybody calling. It was good. I mean, it was kind of thrilling.

I was proud of myself. You should be. Yeah. Because I'm not a dancer. I'm trying. Some of those guys are so good. They get all tens. 9-9 10-10 yeah

13 I'm like wait that's not even on the card you wrote an extra number I put it on the card bonus points yeah like wait what they did extra credit how do I do extra credit so yeah but I moved on and next week it's a trio and so you know we're dancing

I think I can say this so what happens is next week there's three people in every group you bring someone else in whoa who's the third person okay so the song that we're doing a style again I don't know my styles right but we're doing a style called the cha-cha, right? The cha-cha-cha-cha or something.

It's either called the cha-cha or the cha-cha-cha-cha. And then the song is MC Hammer, can't touch this. Stop. Yes. Yeah. Are you joking? No, I'll play some of the song.

You remember we can't touch this? Yeah. Can't touch this. Da-da-da-da-da-da. Da-da. Can't touch this. And my trio partner is Lindsay Sterling. Interesting.

And she's awesome. She's like crazy dancer. How did you get to pick the partner? Because, I mean, was I an option? Yeah. Amy, you should be offended. I mean, hello. It's mostly people who've been on the show before.

Oh, so she's been on the show before? Yeah, she finished second like two years ago. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. She's crazy dancer, like insane dancer. And she's one of the reasons I did the show because I reached out to her because she had done it and loved it. And I was like, hey, what's it like? And she was like, oh.

And so as soon as they said you may have a trio, I just called her. I was like, would you dance with us? Okay. So you're dancing with two chicks? I am, yeah. All right. But like some guys are dancing.

They're bringing another dude. Like DeMarcus. Who's he bringing? Who's he bringing in? Rashad. Oh, Rashad Jennings. That's it. Yeah, who played for the Giants.

Who won it a couple years ago. And like the bachelor's bringing in a bachelor dude. Who was on the show too? Can I ask a question? Go ahead. Why wouldn't they bring in another girl? I think they just wanted to be interesting. And I think the two football players are dancing together.

The two bachelors, it makes sense. And people already know them from ABC. And me, I just reached out to my friend. I was like, hey, won't you come and dance with us? Yeah, I mean, you're the smart one in this group. Nah, I think Joey Fetone's dancing with someone because he'd been on the show before. That's cool. Yeah.

Yeah, so next week's trios. Wow, I didn't know they did. Trio stuff. That's okay. I didn't either. And if we get through trios, we go to Disney Week. And that you get to do the Chachachah to MC Hammer? This is going to be amazing. No idea how it works. I have no idea how it works. Okay. But yeah, it's me, Sharna, and Lindsay Sterling.

Cool. Yeah. So how about that? I'm pumped. And Kelsey Ballerini came to the show last night. She was on earlier, but she came to Dance With the Stars last night. It was fun to see her. I don't know. I mean... Okay. This is exciting. Look forward to.

I mean, I feel like with Lindsay and Sharna and with Can't Touch This, you're going to advance. Let's just call it what it is. No, let's not do that. Let's not call it what it is. Uh-huh. I have to nail the steps. You can't touch this. Our listeners are the key to me making it any further.

And we have the most amazing listeners in all of the land. That's the key. So let's just say our listeners come through. Yeah. And the next week is Disney. Mm-hmm. And then it's like Halloween. It gets crazier as you go.

So anyway, I think Ray Mundo says that we have a club at Tom Bergeron. This person I've heard of this. This is from last night. Go ahead. I just want, even before we go to the judges, I just want to say, anybody who thought that you might be a Bobby OneNote with the crazy dances, I think you put paid to that tonight. You really did. That was wonderful. I just, I mean, I'm on dancing with a stars.

This is crazy. I just want people that don't come from a lot to know that they're not alone. because that's what this is about to me. I can't cut it for a second. I'm out of breath. I'm emotional. I'm a disaster. I'm a basket right now.

I haven't heard this back. I don't even want to hear it anymore. I'm embarrassed of it. I'm done. You can watch it on the YouTube. Any thoughts on me? Do you don't want to play the rest of the clip? I don't.

I'm kind of embarrassed of it. You need to just not be embarrassed because people... Bobby. And I was a little emotional and I don't want to hear it back. Okay. Did we play more of it? Yes, because, well, I just feel like you should just finish it because people are driving or whatever they're doing right now,

and it's annoying that you're like, go to the YouTube. Like, people want to have time for that? Okay, go ahead. That's what this is about to me. I can't believe I'm on the show. I'm from a tiny town, and I just want people out there watching to know that if I can do this, they can do this.

Whatever this is. I've been asking that for 13 and a half years. But I've got to say, just to underscore it, we are in a ballroom that has more people in our audience than you had in your hometown. Hi. Shout out Mountain Pine, Arkansas, population 700. There you go.

I mean, hello. Yeah, you got to play that because you know Arkansas Keith is like, what up? Amy, what's up with you? Just hanging out with my dad. So that's pretty much it. When, like, what's the status there with him? I mean, we're in the hospital, which is not where we thought we would be. but I think we're going to be in the hospital the remainder of treatment,

which is about two and a half more weeks. So what's happening with him right now? Well, he's regressed, which he's just not, he's really weak and not very, he can't be alone, kind of just cognitively not all there. And some of that's the chemo and just, I can't really describe it because they honestly don't really know what's happening. but we just know that he can't be alone and he needs to be under supervision and care

and the hospital is the best place to do that where he can still get chemo and radiation and not fall behind on any of that. So, you know, I'm just hopeful that his body is in just such a state and it's chemo and radiation, even for someone like me, 37 and healthy, would be a lot. And so for someone who also has had three months

of like craziness with his, body. It's just a lot. It's almost, I'm not joking, Bobby. It's almost like he's like 90 years old. Really? And he's just so frail. Like his legs might be as big as mine. So I'm just hopeful that we get through treatment and then we can start rehabbing him to build back strength. But I've been getting a lot of messages from listeners that are praying for him and that's just really thoughtful and sweet. And, you know, I know you know this, but it's exciting to, like, see him get engaged. And like last night when you were on Dancing with the Stars turning on the TV, I kind of wish, you know, you're going to be on every night. Yeah.

Because it's like something that... For him? Like, for something that he can get kind of invested in? Yeah, like that he can focus on and then I can talk to him about. Because then other than that, he just kind of is so exhausted he wants to just lay there. But it's pretty cool. What do you have going on? Just, I've got to practice dancing, you know?

Yeah. I got to go to next week. You gotta get dancing up. I know. You got to keep making my dad proud. I know, right? How I'm going to play this song. Hey, thanks for hanging out with us.

That's Friends Without the R. Best Feans.

Again, Friends Without the R. Best Feens. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So I have the top five things that stress us out on a daily basis. And when I read through them, I was like, oh, wow, we're really getting stressed out by really, like, tiny things. And we maybe need to take a breath. So these are the top things that stresses out every day. Top things. Yeah.

I mean, I would think social media maybe would be one of them. Is that on the list? Oh, good call. But it's not. Really? Something computer-related is. I tell you, my phone has this new app, the Apple, the update. And it tells you how much you're on your screen.

Do you guys get that yet? No. No. Anyone else? It automatically puts up an update. Like, you've been on your screen this much today. Like, I was on my phone, I was up for five hours yesterday. You don't even have to ask it?

No, it just tells you. It shoves it in your face. That's rude. That's like, that's like Netflix. Whenever it's like, are you sure you want to keep watching? And I'm like, yeah, Netflix. Play the next episode. Rude.

Relax Apple. I'm just trying to use your product. Amy, what are the real ones though? Sorry. Okay. So in it number five, traffic. Okay. Number four, misplacing our phone or wallet.

Yeah, I don't do that. But I can see where you can struggle with that. Go ahead. Daily. Number three, screaming kids. Okay. Number two, slow internet. Oh, man.

You want to get me going. Yeah. You want to see my gears grind? Shut down my internet. I'll be turning things off that don't even have to do with the internet. I'm plugging in the refrigerator trying to get the internet back on. Okay, what else? And number one, our computer freezing, which I just had this happen to me about 10 minutes ago.

I got the wheel of death, that little rainbows pinwereau. wheel thing and I was definitely stressed and irritated. It means you're looking at stuff you shouldn't be looking at Amy. No, I was trying to find a story for you. Exactly. All right, what else, Sam? Okay. So shout out to this guy, a wanted man in Texas who didn't like his mugshot, so he went

ahead and turned himself in. Did you see the story? Love it. Love the initiative. Extra effort, A plus. Yeah. So police were looking for him because he was wanted on drug possession and they had an old mugshot of him.

So they posted on their Facebook page. saying, yo, anybody's seen this guy? We kind of are looking for him. Well, he saw the picture and was like, dang, I don't like that mugshot. So he even commented on their Facebook post. And then he went and turned himself in and got himself a new mugshot picture. Again, you got to love people who think outside the box. Yes.

All right, what else am? Okay, well, business is booming for a naked cleaning company. What? Well, you heard me. What are they cleaning? The naked cleaning company is doing so well that they're looking for new employees who happen to have naturess beliefs. I guess they come and clean your house $100 an hour and they clean it naked.

I bet they're hairy. Oh, yeah. Like, I just not into this at all, but I just laughed out loud when I saw the headline that and that they were looking for more. Like, who wants to go clean someone house naked? Well, if it pays well, I can tell you, my grandma and I used to clean houses for a living. Oh, yeah. I would go with her.

And it was always weird when people watched us clean because we would go in. and we would clean houses and we would clean like condos where people would vacation and so you're just scrubbing it's basically like a hotel person that cleans that's what we did people would come in and watch us clean

and they would like watch TV while we cleaned and it was so uncomfortable for me oh that's definitely I mean you yeah I mean people anytime I could never do that I would have to leave because that's just awkward

because you don't want people to think you're micromanaging and then it's just kind of and then you liked it did people ever tip you? Rarely but I love it when they did, even if it was like 80 cents. Yeah, and that's why you tip hotel people now because you know what it's like to do that. I know what it's like. That's right. Thank you, Amy.

That's your pile. Yep, I'm Amy. That's my pile. It's a Bobby Bones show. Thanks to Kelsey Ballerini who stopped by and played today for Joy Week, who I spent yesterday with the Dancing with the Stars. Kelsey and I have been spent a lot of time together. It's awesome. Yeah. Yeah, Kelsey's awesome. I was so happy she came by Dancing with Stars. That wasn't a thing. It was just her texting me going, hey, Where are you? And I was like, well, I'm in California. And then she's like, okay, me too.

Let's get, let's get together. And I was like, well, I'm doing dance with the stars tonight. She's like, I'm coming. She's like, kind of busy. Yeah, but she came. She came to the trailer before and we hung out. And then she came and sat in the crowd and watched me dance. And we talked during the show.

Like I went over to and talked to her. She was like, I'm so nervous for you. And I was like, yeah, Amy knows the feeling. Yeah, yeah. Totally. Being there, but even watching on TV, it's just nervous. all around. Well, so I'm going

to dance and practice today and I just got back. I mean, I left the show last night and flew right back to Nashville, so I got a lot of home stuff to do because I'll leave you again in a couple days. But yeah, that's it. And Amy, you're in Austin with your dad. Yep. And so you're going to be at the hospital today. Yep, today, every day.

Shout out to all the nurses. St. David, South Austin. Right. Our nurses, so, like, underappreciated. They're so underappreciated. So underappreciated. Oh, and while we're appreciating nurses, a bunch of Texas State, like, nursing students. They work there during the week.

And I feel like we've got tons of listeners there. I met tons of them at the hospital doing their practice rounds. So shout out to them too. Lunchbox, what's up today, bud? Oh, man, I got to hang out with the wife. I made her watch sports all weekend and all last night. So, I mean, Tuesday nights, her night, whatever she wants to do. Yeah.
