Transmitting across America.
This is a Bobby Bonds.
Good and welcome to Wednesday's show.
In an hour, Kelsey Ballerini will be in to talk and to play music live.
Luke Bryan will be in in two hours, so all that's happening.
Good morning, studio!
Morning!
Lunchbox's wife now wants a tajma garage, which Amy's building a huge garage.
It's on a hill.
My backyard raises up so it's on a hill, so it looks bigger than it actually is.
Amy lives where there's no parking and so you have to street park.
And so she's building what lunchbox is called the Tajma Garage.
And they live near each other, so now your wife wants to.
Oh, we drive by it all the time.
And we've been talking about it.
And then she hits me with that, what if we built a Tajma garage in our backyard?
We would have somewhere where to park.
We wouldn't have to fight for street parking.
And every time we go by, she's like, look at how awesome it looks.
It makes the house complete.
It's coming along, isn't it?
Oh, it's coming along.
The trees are like just gone, like disappearing because of the Tajma garage and now my wife wants one.
So I'm supposed to find out the builder's information and all that from Amy.
Okay.
Do you have to street park too?
Oh, our street park.
Every day?
Every day.
That's crazy.
I would not buy a house if I had to street park.
This is my legit first real garage in my 10 years of marriage.
You've always street parks.
Always street park.
I just wouldn't live there.
We had a little garage thing in North Carolina, but that's a little garage thing.
in North Carolina, but that's where I did.
I did the radio show out of it, so
we didn't really park in it, no.
Wow. Well, good luck with your Tadaj Magaraj
number two. When will yours be done, Amy?
Oh, man, hopefully in the next month or so.
Yeah? Yeah.
Tajma Garage and two new kids.
Detail.
Recognizing people, doing cool things.
It's ICU.
This Bosu Body Bar Restaurant,
they found a way around the rule that you can't
feed the homeless with the leftovers.
Because the rule is you can't just take food at the end of the night,
and go, okay, everybody, come get the free food.
And so what happens is when the shifts are over,
employees take out these brown paper bags of food
that's given to them, and they leave them on the street
for homeless people in need.
They say, quote, when we close the doors for the day,
we promise to leave bags of food outside.
They're not breaking the law.
No.
They're not passing it out.
No.
The employees get free food.
And so what they choose to do with it is they put in a bag
and they leave it out there for people who need it.
Genius.
It's a good way to work around the system right there.
I see you.
The Bobby Bones show.
Big three stories.
It's producer Raymond World Series.
Game one was last night.
Dodgers won three to one over the Astros.
Game two is tonight.
In Florida, 14 people were injured too critically in an airboat crash.
They said the steering cable broke.
That's why it crashed in the lake.
And finally, weather forced a thousand flight cancellations yesterday,
especially in the northeast, really bad rain and wind.
Make sure you check flight status today before heading to the airport.
Yeah.
Bobby Bones.
Show.
Boom.
Let's do another round
of Ask the show.
Ask the show.
Ask the show.
Josh and Murphysboro.
Hey, what's up, Bobby?
What up, buddy?
What do you want to ask the show?
Hey, man.
My question is,
what are y'all going to dress up as for Halloween?
Well, I'm doing a show in Austin,
a raging idiot show,
and I'm dressed up as a raging idiot
because we have our jumpsuits.
Amy still will not tell us.
You can tell us now?
Nope.
You're still not going to tell us.
Nope.
I know.
This is the worst question.
Wait, why is it so?
Like, what do we need to know?
People just want to know.
They want to know what you're dressing up as.
That's the gossip.
It's trending on Twitter.
When I go out, I'll be a penguin.
He's had the same costume over 10 years.
Ray?
Been considering going shirtless, doing the Michael Phelps thing or Males Tripper.
Oh, there you go.
Ask the show.
Ask the show.
Zach in Oklahoma.
Yeah, I'm a new listener, first-time caller.
You guys have probably got this question already.
But what did you guys do before you got into radio?
So, I'll just kind of talk our way through this one.
Amy sold granite.
She graduated from Texas A&M and was doing granite sales when I met her.
Like, she never worked on radio.
And she was like selling wholesale granite for countertops, basically.
Yeah, basically.
And then we met, and she was my friend.
I was like, hey, do you want to be part of the show?
That's what Amy did.
Anything I missed there?
She also worked at Gold's Gym for a while.
That was before I did great.
That was right out of college.
I worked at front desk.
Lunchbox, when I met him, he was selling sandwiches at Jason's Deli.
I was a delivery driver.
Worked my way up all the way to the number two driver, so I did breakfast and lunch and was
making straight cash.
Dang.
I mean, I was making a lot of money.
I'm telling you, it was awesome for a 21-year-old little punk kid just out of college
or about to be out of college.
So that lunchbox was a delivery driver at Jason's deli.
Me, I started radio when I was a teenager, and so I did nights and then mornings.
I mean, I'm the only one of the whole show that's a radio person.
So, hey, everybody, it's a little more radio person, you know.
That's my radio voice.
So, and then Raymond, our producer, he, like, sold telecommunications.
Correct.
Right?
Yeah.
Can I get you a bundle package for that?
3499, I'll upgrade you.
That kind of thing.
So, yeah, Zach, our show is, like, weird because we're not real radio people, and at times
is why we're not very good.
I'm glad I found the station
I appreciate that
And you listen in Oklahoma
Yeah
Yeah we're at
I'm traveling for work
Ainid
I know Enid
You know why I know it
Because I was over at Blake's Ranch
It's over near there
Oh cool cool
I travel for work
And we're out here right now
I work on a windmill farm
Yeah
Hard work
Not what I do
I do
Whimpy work
I appreciate that
Appreciate you
Thank you for calling
But
That's another round
Of Ask the show
Time for your positivity
Little Wednesday tell me something good
I want to say something and I actually want to disprove a negative myth
So this is my tell me something good
So people are not poisoning candy
People are not putting razor blades or putting LSD in candy
Since 1974 there has been one case period of any of that happening
Period just takes one
But in our lifetime it's never happened
In our lifetime no one's ever put razor blade inside of candy
Okay
Because we were all born in the 80s or above.
That's so crazy that urban legend has lived on.
She's not true.
It's not true.
Be happy.
Rest assured, go and get your candy.
But moderately eat it.
Yeah.
Amy.
Okay.
A UPS driver started a Facebook page for dogs that he meets along his route.
Like, he sees all kinds of dogs and has treats.
And now other UPS drivers have started, you know, adding to the Facebook page.
And they just have all these pictures of all these dogs they see along the way.
And people love it.
It's called UPS dogs.
If you're looking for something happy on Facebook for once.
UPS dogs check it out.
Other animals that get cameos on the page, cats, deer, donkeys, and pigs, but predominantly dogs.
Lunchbox.
Rob Jones is a U.S. Marine.
He lost both his legs in Afghanistan.
He got back and he's like, am I going to let this stop me?
Nope, I'm going to start running marathons.
So he's running 31 days in 31 different cities.
And he's about halfway through his journey right now.
Wow.
Even to do one.
Just one.
It's crazy.
And he's doing 31.
31 and 31 days.
And he finishes on November 11th.
Man, shout out to that, dude.
Yeah.
You and Courtney Kardashian are a lot of life, Amy.
Yeah, she's a little wacko with her food stuff and things around the house.
I know.
I know this about her.
She doesn't have a microwave.
She swears against them.
She's like you.
She's like no microwave.
but they've proven that microwaves don't do anything bad.
They're saying, I don't believe them.
I know it's like Dr. Oz and Harvard and people that we, like, I also do like to credit for things, but not this.
And you don't think you'll get any sort of heating device when your kids move in?
No.
No, I mean, I have an oven and I have a stove top.
Doesn't your husband get so annoyed every time you have to warm something up, they have to put it in the oven?
Yeah, he has to put it, like for his coffee, he has to put it, pour it from the cup into a pot, turn the stove on, heat it up, and then pour it.
back into a cup. It's really, he's used to it
honestly, because we haven't had a microwave for a while,
but it's when we have guests.
They're just used to, like,
my sister. She's like, what?
And then she's got her four kids, and she's like,
she sells me the same thing. All this is going to change
when the kids come. And I'm like, no, it's not.
Which just makes me make it not want
to change. When people tell me that, I'm like, okay,
fine, I'll show you. Are you sure
your husband doesn't have a microwave, like, back in
another part of the house that you don't know about,
like a secret closet? That would be hilarious
if he did. That would be fun.
I don't know. I haven't found it.
He'd be in trouble, though.
Isn't there some sort of thing that you don't feel like radioactive that you could use?
I just feel like when these kids come, you're going to spend all your time putting stuff in the oven.
They'd be like, feed me.
Do you ever use a toaster for like toast?
Yeah, but I don't think that.
No.
So you plug it into the heat.
That's like me using my curling.
It's different. It's different.
I don't know about that.
Y'all, y'all are trying to tell me a microwave is the same as a toaster.
I'm trying to say you don't really know about any of them.
I'm trying to say, I don't feel...
Do you use a cell phone to get up to your head?
Yeah, and I should not.
Okay, but you did.
And I'm thinking about getting rid of it.
No, you're not.
Stop it.
Bobby Bones show.
Bonehead.
Norrie up the day.
This story comes to us from Florida.
A 26-year-old woman went to her ex-boyfriend's house because she wanted her teddy bear back.
All right.
She knocks on the door and says, I want my teddy bear.
You have it inside.
He says, no.
She goes, okay.
He closes the door.
She lights the house on fire.
What?
How?
She poured some gasoline.
Oh, my goodness.
He got out.
but the house
Did the teddy bear make it?
Teddy bear, complete loss.
Oh, man.
I can't believe she burned his house now.
There was more to it than the teddy bear, right?
We all agreed that there's more to it than just a teddy bear.
I don't know.
Sometimes women.
Nah, come on, more than teddy bear theft.
I'm lunchbox.
That's your bonehead story of the day.
The Bobby Bones show.
Hey, Kelsey Ballerini is here, everybody.
Hey, Bobby Bones.
Good morning.
I was looking at some, your Instagram.
and you did a boomerang of everybody jumping into the pool at the end of your party?
Yeah.
Except for you.
No, I did.
Oh, you were the one that jumped in?
I was in the middle.
Who didn't jump in?
My friend Jennifer.
She hosted it was her house.
I thought it was you because it was so far away.
She came up to me at the end of the party.
She was like, can you Photoshop me out?
I'm like, of a boomerang?
No.
So you in full dress jumped in the pool.
Yeah.
Oh, look at that.
Yeah.
And the hashtag was like something Evans.
What's the hashtag?
Happily Evans after.
Happily Evans after.
That's cute.
It's pretty cute.
It's pretty cute.
That worked out.
All this stuff, though, but you're not saying when you're getting married, but all this stuff.
No.
No.
I mean, like, we're both so busy.
Like, he's putting out his first single here.
I'm putting out my record.
And that's our main focus.
And then when we go away, we just go away.
And we're done for the year.
So we have a lot to do before then.
All right.
Yeah.
Kelsey's here, which, by the way, Kelsey and I have something in common.
We both are endorsers for Glade.
Hey-oh.
Here's Kelsey's commercial, if you like to hear.
Hey, what's up? It's Kelsey Valerini, and I have a little time off tour, so I'm going to take a road trip with my new Glade Plugins car.
There it is. Yeah. You're funny. Dang. I've seen it. It's good. Best smelling cars and country music. I haven't heard yours, though.
I do it my hand in front of you something. You don't pay attention to what I say.
Glade Plugins car. Kelsey's record comes out on the third. Yeah. So you put out a song last week. I don't even which one it was because I've heard them all now and they all kind of...
Miss me more.
That's it. It went to number ones on iTunes.
It did. It was my first one.
Ever.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
It was awesome.
Thank you.
I want to play Legends.
Okay.
Because it's the single right now.

No? No.
Okay, let's play.
Okay, we can drop the delay.

we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel
or podcast anymore.

but I just wanted to keep you up

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.
Hey, tell me about the picture of you and Jennifer Lopez and how that happened.
Okay, so I had my Bachelorette party in Vegas, and we tried to get backstage passes and like meet and greets and stuff, and we couldn't.
Like, it was sold out that weekend.
So we just, like, sat in, like, seats in front of the sound booth.
And no one stood up during the whole concert, during a J-Lo concert, no one stood up.
And me and all my girls did.
And we just, like, danced the whole time.
And at the end, a guy tapped me on the shoulder behind me, and he was like, hey, are you Kelsey?
And I was like, yeah.
And he was like, I'm Jennifer's manager.
And he had been singing behind me the whole time, but singing down and we were standing up.
So I was blocking his view.
And I was like, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to block your view.
Like, we just wanted to dance.
He was like, no, I was so happy that you guys were actually having fun.
We didn't know you were here.
Do you want to go meet Jennifer?
And I was like, that'll be fine.
That'll work.
That'll be fine.
That it's good.
And me and all my friends were like, we tried so hard to play it cool, but we were like
hitting each other, like as we were walking back, you know, just freaking out.
And she's so beautiful in person.
It's weird.
Wait a minute.
Then there's a piano.
Oh, you know the whole story.
You know, okay.
Okay, so we went up to her dressing room and it separated like a little green room and
then her dressing room's attached, but the door was shut.
And her vocal coach was in there singing.
And he was like, what do you know?
And I was like, do you know Girl Crush?
And he was like, yeah.
And so he started playing Girl Crush.
And I started singing on like this little microphone that she had set up.
And then she walked out.
She floated out.
And she was like, who was that singing?
And all my friends were like pointing at me.
And she just came over and she was like, I'm Jennifer.
And I was like, I know.
It was awesome.
Y'all, it was awesome.
I love it when I act like I don't know stories.
I can just toilet.
I don't know how you knew that.
Because you told it to me.
Did I?
day after it happened. I was like, who did you know?
And you were like, I tried to get Shane to get us back there.
Nothing worked. Yeah, it was booked. She was booked.
That's a good story.
Yeah. And then Arod's little girls were there. And so I sat and sang with them.
And I was like, hi, I'm Kelsey. They're like, we know. And I was like, oh, they're like, yeah, we watch the Disney Channel, duh.
And I was like, okay, okay. That's cool.
All right, come back on the third, because that's when your record's out.
Come back. We'll have a little party.
A little celebration.
All right. Kelsey Ballerini.
here. Let's clap our hands and we'll see you back soon.
All right. Kelsey Ballerini, and you can download like four songs right now, by the way.
Yeah. And download those and pre-order the record because it comes out on the third.
All right, Lunchbox has this story, but we're going to play.
Is it Fake News?
Congrats to 10-year-old Vanessa Bruxton on making it into the Guinness Book of World Records.
She is from Alabama, 10 years old, and she became the youngest woman ever to get her pilot's license.
She's been flying since the age of seven with her dad.
Okay, so you have a 10-year-old with a pilot's license.
Fake news.
I think it's real.
Really?
You can have a pilot's license at 10?
She can only fly certain planes.
Did I leave that out?
Now he's getting so specific that I feel like you've been messing with us.
I don't care what you're flying.
Is you flying a drone because that's about all she can fly?
So you're going fake news.
I just do not see how a 10-year-old could have a pilot's license.
I think a 10-year-old can get a black belt and a pilot's license.
I'm going real news. I'm going real news.
Fake news. Lunchbox, I'm going to real news. What is it?
Open up the Guinness Book of World's Records. You will not see Vanessa. It's fake news.
That's what? Fake news. You got me.
So Lunchbox has been married for how long now?
A little over two years. About two years and five months.
Look at you. Yeah. How's it been going, you think?
I mean, I think it's been going great. We've been crushing it at life. Yeah.
Yeah, married life.
So if you were giving a report card
I would say a solid
solid B minus
Wow
What did she say?
A B minus? That's not crushing it
That's barely making the honor roll
I didn't make honor roll that much
So I don't really know
But B minus is pretty good
Whenever I got a B minus on my report card
I thought I was doing pretty well
It's all relative
Why not a A? Like what's missing
I mean there's just certain things
I mean we don't nail everything
I mean there's sometimes we
mess up and we're not perfect and we're getting
better and we don't do things together all the
time and you're just saying words right now
he's having a life. Like I'm just saying
like it's not an A plus like I mean
we get along great. What would you? What
does she need to change to get it
to an A? Oh she needs to be nicer to me.
Yeah. Yeah more understanding maybe.
So why don't you, there are things
that happen like for example lunchbox's wife was on TV
Oh, was she? Yeah, because of her job and she's out talking about her new job
She's literally on the news. Okay. He says
nothing about it to us. Why? What do you mean? Why wouldn't you talk about it with us?
Like, that's a big thing. She's out like fronting a company and like talking about it on the news.
Like proud husband. Yes. And he says, I didn't have been told to me I wouldn't know.
No way. I don't understand what I was supposed to say. Like coming, hey guys, my wife was on the news last night.
Bring in the audio. I'm sure you recorded it. I did record it. She was on the news multiple times.
She's on the radio all the time. I mean, you want me to bring clips of her on the radio? Are you proud of her?
That's great.
Oh, she's still on your thunder.
That's what it is.
You nailed it.
He's jealous.
He's jealous.
He's like lunchbox, you're not on the news?
You're not on the news.
No, here's the thing.
She gets real nervous and she doesn't feel comfortable and so she's kind of like,
she's probably better than you.
Wow.
Sounds like she gets told her, but she's doing it all the time.
What if we let her fill in for Amy if Amy goes to Haiti?
That's a great idea.
Yeah, let's do it.
There is no way my wife would fill in on the radio.
Why not?
No chance.
Ask her.
I guarantee you she wouldn't.
I'll ask her.
Oh yeah, you'll ask her, but you'll go,
before I hit record, you better
say no.
Or else.
No.
She would get too nervous.
Whatever.
A lot of pressure to be here with a superstar.
You need to bring some recording of her on TV.
Okay.
Bobby Bones.
The Bobby Bones show.
You know what somebody says?
Oh, man, that's my worst nightmare.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was thinking of mine.
We'll go around the room, like, what's your worst nightmare?
Mine is being stuck in traffic.
and I'm late to a meeting
and I can do nothing about it.
That's so nothing.
That's your worst nightmare?
That's terrible.
Oh my gosh.
I'm on time everywhere all the time
and if it's like a big meeting
or like I have to go and that's my worst nightmare.
It's being helpless.
Like I can't even jump out of my car and run.
It's my worst nightmare.
Not being able to get somewhere on time.
Worst nightmare.
Amy?
Mine is a spider crawling into my ear
and hatching a bunch of baby spiders
and then them coming out.
Really is.
It's my worst nightmare.
It could happen, though.
It happens to people all the time I see on the internet.
Yeah, fake news.
Ledgebikes.
My biggest fear is just coming upon a snake when I don't expect it.
And it's just lying in wait.
And there I am.
And I'm trapped.
And it's just me and the snake.
And I can't do anything.
Or if I, like, get in bed and it's under my sheets.
Just anywhere.
I have these thoughts all the time about what if I go around that corner and there's a snake?
Or I'm walking the dog, mowing the grass.
And here comes a snake.
Oh!
So I don't want to be late.
Amy doesn't want spiders and LachBox doesn't want snakes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Eddie, what is your worst nightmare?
Producer Eddie?
Mine is a home invasion with maybe like I'm napping or something
and I wake up in someone's in my house like stealing my stuff.
I wouldn't know what to do.
Oh, that's so scary to me.
What would you do?
Oh, well, I have baseball bats now.
So I'd grab my baseball bat and if the kids were home,
I'd tell them to grab theirs.
And we'd smack them hard.
There you go.
There's all of our worst nightmare.
Ray, what's your worst nightmare?
sleeping in, man, and missing part of the show, being late.
Yeah, that one I can understand.
Whose is the scariest?
Mine for sure.
Mine, for sure.
The latest from Nashville in Hollywood.
Amy's 32nd Skinny.
So the Backstreet Boys are hitting the studio for an album,
and it's going to have a country twist.
They shouldn't do that.
Why?
Because they're not committing to it fully.
No one's going to buy in for a twist.
Now, if the Backstead Boys want to put out of country record,
it'd still be a hard sell,
but at least we'd respect to,
fact they were going for it.
When Stephen Tyler did it, probably wasn't going to work.
But at least we respected the fact that he was committing himself to it.
Yeah.
The Backstreet Boys got a little success with Florida Georgia Line, and they think now they got us,
and they don't.
They were very nice to me, though.
But I'm saying, unless you commit, you don't even have a chance.
Okay.
Well, we'll see what happens.
The only person that could do that would be Taylor.
She did a half-pop, half-country album, and that's because she already was country.
Other than that.
Taylor's had people at her house last couple nights.
in town.
Because she's previewing new music from her record.
Oh, I guess she must have known I was busy.
Oh, you didn't get the invite?
No, because that wasn't another thing.
She probably knew that.
I was like, it's okay, Taylor.
I have a Haiti thing.
Yeah.
What?
Just hanging out at her house?
Lots of radio people came in.
She's done it a couple times.
Yeah, we're radio people.
Into Nashville.
Okay.
What else you got?
Well, I got some collaborative performances for the CMAs that are coming up.
Kelsey Ballerini is going to be with Reba.
Dirk's Bentley is going to be with Rascal Flats.
Marin Morris is going to be with the One Direction.
dude, Nile Horan, and Brad
Paisley will be with Kane Brown.
There'll be some more big ones announced too.
You have to remember, the CMAs
are where Timberlake and Stapleton
did their thing, and it gave us the gift that is
Stapleton. That is so true. So there'll be some big ones.
I'm privy to information
that I don't share until I'm supposed to. There'll be some big ones.
Okay, cool. Yeah, cool. I'm Amy. That's your 30 seconds
getting. Look. Luke
is in the hallway, but we have to do the morning
corny. So we're going over to the morning
corny, because when Luke comes in,
If we start the morning corny with him around, we're in trouble.
Let's go with the morning corny now.
The morning corny!
Why did the vampire subscribe to the New York Times?
Why did the vampire subscribe to the New York Times?
He heard it had great circulation.
Get it?
Yeah, I do. That's pretty funny.
That's make a lie to you.
Okay.
It was hard for me to tell these days because, you know, kids don't know much about the newspaper.
and having circulation.
I didn't think about that.
Suspension?
No!
I'm just kidding.
I'm just kidding.
The listener is the one who suspended you, not me.
I know, but I was tattling on myself just making sure.
And, like, if kids don't know about the paper, they should know that, like, back in the 60s.
Back in the day, we used to have to wake up in the morning and read the paper.
There you go.
There's the morning.
Luke's here.
Luke Brian's coming in here.
That was the morning corny.
All right, Luke Bryant's here.
What up?
Holy cow, you're loud.
I know, big old...
You always come and fired up.
Big old fog.
Because, like, I'm perfectly, like, caffeinated.
Like, it's super infused into my bloodstream right now.
I saw you, I guess about a week or so, I'd go at the Artist of the Year Awards.
And I saw you and Lionel together.
Yes.
Saw you first, and then Lionel walked in, and you were like, man, that's Lionel Richie.
And then I didn't put two and two together as I was geeking out about Lionel Richie.
And now you guys are working together.
Yeah, y'all are, like, buddy.
Yes, and you ducked out on your photo op.
I did, because Bobby is.
He's a huge Lionel fan and I wanted him to have that moment.
And it's okay.
The back of my hair is in the picture.
It's fine.
I got you.
I saw that I'm like an Instagram video of you and Lionel playing piano.
Yes.
Like that's got to be crazy for you, right?
Dude, let me explain something to you.
So we're on set at Idol.
And so I grew up playing his stuff on piano.
But he comes around like, but I play stuff in different keys.
he comes around me with both his hands, and his hands are in there with mine.
I mean, our Instagram post was, what, a minute, but for 15 minutes, hit Lionel Richie's
hands are in, like, I'm about to dang tear up talking about it, and just the fact that
I can sit there and his hands and we're bumping, our hands are bumping into each other,
He's showing me stylistically how he goes about these chords.
And I can see the way just I'm that close to his hands on a piano.
It's a damn mind trip.
I mean, and he'll try to go show me something on piano.
And like what he's trying to show me is like from the Lord,
the Lord gave him that.
And I'm like, Lionel, I ain't going to ever have what you just did.
just there. And he doesn't know
any notes on piano.
He just plays it.
Wow. So,
if you
tell him something
or like, if I play one of my songs
and he watches me play it, he has to
play it like he plays it. He don't even know
how he plays it. It's amazing.
It's just like...
That is a Lord. Were you guys friends before this?
Well, you know, through
through the business.
So friendly.
Yes.
Now we, you know, we met, I guess, four years ago.
We did a CRS thing when he was putting out Tuskegee.
And he and I performed at a CRS event.
And that was the first time I met him.
And then we were able to do something on cross.
We were able to do a, not a crossroads.
Was it a crossroads that we did?
We did a performance together that won a performance of the year for CMT.
And then I did Penny Lover on the Grammys for him.
And so, you know, through the years we've just kept, you know, running into one another.
But now to be a part of Idol with him and Katie and to really, I mean, he's just a good human being.
Who pulled who in?
Who called and said, yeah, this is cool.
You should do it too.
You know, with the whole process of how it went down, you know, I mean, we start, we hear that there's an interest, you know.
My manager calls me, and she's like, hey, and she calls me with TV stuff all the time.
And I'm like, nope, nope, nope, touring's too important, touring's too, you know.
And when I get the call about idle, I'm like, hmm, this may be interesting.
And so we start the process, but, you know, we obviously find out that Katie has already locked in.
And then, you know, at that point, it's about how is this going to affect my touring and how is this going to affect my life, my safe little country life, country music singer life, which I know it sounds funny, but my wife and I and my family, we've got this safe little country music life figured out.
You know, we know kind of when I'm going to tour every year,
when I'm going to make albums.
And, you know, we kind of skirt under the radar on tabloids and gossip and all that stuff.
So we had to, you know, we had to work through all that.
But then at that point, my first, I mean, obviously my first focus is Caroline and the boys.
But then how are my fans going to proceed this?
What shows do I have to move around?
I mean, we had to move a few shows around this year.
which just drives me crazy because I know, you know, your fans have already booked hotel rooms and stuff.
And it was the first time in, you know, a 12-year hardcore touring career that I've had to move shows around.
But now that I'm in the trenches with it, and we got all the mumbo-jumbo of the contracts.
And, you know, it's funny.
Like I woke up and saw a Google Alert, like, trouble on the set of America.
American Idol. And I'm like, come on. I mean, we're, we, we, we, we're having a blast.
Now, if somebody's not liking one of the, I mean, I'm not re, I'm not picking up on it.
I mean, but, but we're having a blast. That's how you find out nobody likes you.
Yeah, I'm like, and then what's funny, though, you're like, well, I guess everybody likes me.
You start to try to pinpoint who it is. Yeah, I'm like, oh my God, well, maybe I've inadvertently
offended somebody. No, but, man, it's fun. It really is.
50% more fun than I thought it was going to be because...
Which one are you? Which judge?
You know, we are all pretty linear in our handling of these contestants because, you know, we're not some record exec.
And we're not some, you know, we're not some...
Not a producer, a record exec?
You're not in a business.
We know the head.
We know the fragile head of an artist.
And, you know, our biggest hurdle is when we get somebody that's very talented, but they're not ready to go the distance in American Idol.
I mean, in two years, when they've had two more years of singing out live, I mean, it's funny, you get these 16, 17-year-old kids in there that they think that they're going to win American Idol.
and, you know, they don't understand that they're talented, but they, so you don't want to,
you don't want to handle them wrongly. You don't want to crush dreams. And, you know, even with
somebody, you know, we're being pretty good about, I mean, in a world, you guys see it. You guys sell
pimp and joy. I mean, you know, TV needs more, TV needs less mean and the world needs less mean
and hurtful stuff.
I mean, I think it's all about...
Now, when you tell people no, you're hurting them.
I mean, but at some point...
But you're not trying to be nasty about it.
Right.
I'm not saying...
And the thing is, if somebody's silly and goofy, I mean, you know,
my biggest hurdle is you're going to see it all over my face
because I look like, I mean, that's just the funny part.
I mean, I don't want to lose me looking at somebody like that.
have five heads because I think that's what people are going to get a chuckle out of that.
But I tell you what, though, after this, you know, I will be a, I'll be a truth teller.
I'll just tell you like I see it and move on.
So you start, you get people up there in front of you, just tears running down their face.
Please, please let me through.
And Lionel has said yes.
Katie said no.
And it's just like, I mean, their whole life hedges.
on what you say and you know in your heart you got to tell them no it's a bugger it's tough
Luke Brian's here got American Idol I got the whole world so much right at your fingers
we hope we'll see what a difference like just a few years make man it's crazy so we mean
you was out on the peanut farm just a few years ago now here we are together it's funny I mean
when you think about what can happen in 10 years in your life it's it's pretty remarkable that
that so many, you know, you can start a family.
You can start a career.
You can, you know, change lives.
You can build a house and almost get divorced because you're building a high.
No, I'm playing.
All right.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't build houses.
Oh.
Yeah.
You bicker over that?
Yeah, probably one.
We did at the time.
We did never bicker over it.
We were just like.
Nah.
We're like, why don't we just do a one-story ranch house? One story. No stairs. No vacuum cleaning the stairs.
Because you vacuum the stairs. Okay. I am. No, I have currently, I have a Bissell steam cleaner sitting on my rug because my new puppy has picked our rug to be his accident spot right in front of our fireplace and our main living area.
So when I get home, I've got to do a little old, do some bissling.
Fire up the bistle.
Fire up the old, the old bistle, the old stain remover.
I will tweet a picture of me doing that just to prove.
Video, video, video.
We used to not believe it.
We always believe you now.
You ought to see Lionel Richie when I'm telling him things I just did.
He's like, what have you been, partner?
I said, well, I was out helping my wife get Brett's barn ready.
and we got there with the,
we had a pig, get out of a fence,
and Lionel's looking at me like,
I'm an absolute Martian.
Yeah.
He's like, you mean you just did this 20 minutes ago?
And I'm like, yeah?
All right, we're going to see you,
when the record comes out.
You're going to come back.
Yes.
Good luck with all the eye.
I know it's a whole new world you're going into.
Good luck.
Yes, with Idol, yes.
I will, you know, when I'm picking out,
when I'm looking at the tabloids
in the grocery store, I will be, I'll have a little anxiety.
You let me know which ones aren't true. I'll take care of them.
All right. Yeah, you squash them for me.
Yeah.
And we'll see you come back. A record comes out in December, December 9th.
8th. December 8th.
December 8th. That's a long way away. So we'll see you.
Yeah. We'll see you then.
We'll be here.
Go and live your Luke Bryan life now.
All right. Luke Brian, everybody. There he is.
Thank you, Bobby.
This is a Bobby Bones show.
Bobby Bones.
Raymond, our producer, has now been allowed to drive
Uber. He went. It's now
afraid to drive Uber and he's going to start driving Uber.
No, wait. You are?
In the murder-in-out blazer!
Oh my goodness. What if we order Uber once
and we get Ray? That's a very good possibility.
The thing is, Ray's been
offering to do handiwork for a lot of people
on the show, extra odds and ends.
And we've all wondered if there's
something going on. Is there
anything going on in your life? Nothing going
on? Just, can you believe that everybody
right now is doing Uber? Not one of us
drives an Uber and we probably have the best
schedule to do that? Why not take advantage of it?
So when do you start driving Uber?
Kid me? Today. I could do it anytime I want.
All I got to do is just turn on the app.
So you have the little Uber sticker on your car?
Yep. No, that's not even a legit thing. You could drive without even a sticker.
That's just an ad on.
That's how I identify. Are you sure?
Yeah, they do it so you feel safe. You don't have to do that.
He likes people to feel unsafe. Can you say?
Well, they're going to be getting picked up in the murdered out blazer. And here's the thing, man.
I'm getting people from A to B real quick.
Why?
Why?
Why?
done it yet. I have not done one ride. Are you going to today? It's going to be in the next couple
days. Yeah. I got a little bit of a busy schedule, but trust me, by the weekend, I'm for sure
doing it. He hasn't even driven anybody, and he's talking about how he's getting on there real
quick. Are you going to have a party theme, party favors in your car? How is it going to work? You've got to
up your game. It's going to be different than most people, because actually you can have in the back
seat, you can have drinks, and if you want to, you can have alcoholic beverages too. So I've actually
considered maybe putting a couple beers back there, everything on ice, and then there's some candies,
gum and stuff like that for when people rolling after the
clubs. So when I leave work, if you just turn
yours on, I can go, hey, in order you and you take me home.
I think it's all random. You couldn't select me
like that. No, but you can select
their proximity. Oh, sure, yeah.
Then I would probably be the closest one.
Interesting. Our boy, Raymond is going to drive
Uber now. The thing is,
again, Ray makes a decent
wage. But we think
he's gambling it or something? Yes. It's extra
side hustle. He's just working hard.
I'm actually curious, man. If I start
rolling in this Uber, I'm like,
Full-time job? Hello.
So you're saying if it goes well enough, you'd leave this.
I love driving places and meeting people. It's both of those things.
All right, let us know. So you're not going to do it today.
Not today or tomorrow, but...
At least by the weekend.
At least by the weekend.
Okay, there we are. Raymond is going to be an Uber driver now.
The farther people live from work, the less happy they are.
So shorter commutes, happier job.
What's your commute?
About seven minutes.
Lunchbox?
11 minutes.
How'd you guys live next to each other?
Yeah, but he's a few stop signs back.
Yeah, and you've got to come to a complete stop, and every time that adds 30 seconds.
I'm about six minutes, but to be fair, we do drive when there's no one on the road because we wake up so early.
Yeah, like no one on the road.
You ever have a long time when you commute?
Oh, yeah.
Before my job before this, when I was in sales, I was in the car for over an hour on my way to work and home.
And sometimes if there was a bad accident, make it an hour and a half.
Did you just hate that so much?
Oh, it was brutal.
I would think all the time, if I just lived right by work, I could sleep 30 minutes longer,
or I could do this in the morning, I could do that, but I would just be sitting in my car.
Shout out to everybody right now.
Sitting in their cars, yes.
Sitting in their cars in the middle of traffic.
Because we whine about having to wake up at 3, 4 in the morning, but we don't have to sit in traffic.
That is true.
So there's that.
Doctors are talking about this woman who sweats blood.
Yeah.
Let me ask you a question.
It's not real news.
No, no, it's real.
It's real.
We can't start questioning everything is fake news, by the way.
This is not what this is.
This pair of doctors, they have this woman who was hospitalized with a condition where she sweats
blood from her face and her hands.
Oh, man.
Sometimes five minutes at a time.
Yeah.
Anytime she's in physical activity, it starts to happen.
Here's the question.
What?
You're single.
You meet her.
You hit it off.
You think she's hot.
She starts sweating blood.
Is that deal breaker?
Oh.
I am outy
5,000. There is
no chance I could date her after that.
The first time I'd saw it, I'd be like,
is that always going to happen?
Well, it's not you, it's me.
And I'm moving on.
You're out. I'm out.
What about you, Bobby?
I think it depends how much we hit it off.
Like anything else.
Oh, I think you're going to say how much blood.
Well, you know.
I don't think it's like gushing, but it's like blood beads.
Just like sweat comes out of your pores.
It would look like red.
That stinks for her, huh?
Coming up, we have an update on Amy and the kids again.
Oh.
Another one.
This has been like the last four days of nothing but updates.
It's been an exciting.
It feels like it's getting closer.
Like, they could be here tomorrow.
I'm just, wait, wait.
I don't want to spoil the surprise.
All right, let's have an Amy update.
Yeah.
So many updates.
It all happened last week when the listener said,
hey, what's the update with Amy's kids?
And Amy's like, well, I'm glad you asked.
And you told them, like, I think I'm getting the kids before Christmas.
Then we followed up.
And you had talked to somebody who used to
run the country of Haiti.
Yeah, he's former
Prime Minister. And then he comes to town.
Yeah, he came to Nashville.
And then it's like, what's happening? It's all happening so fast
now. And so if you're new to the show,
Amy tried to have babies
unsuccessfully, tried to adopt
domestically unsuccessfully, went on
a mission trip, went to an orphanage,
found two children, sit out. These are my kids.
And it's been four and a half years later.
And everybody says their wits in
but no one as much as Amy.
So he's in town.
So he's in town. So we go to lunch.
and I told him that I said on the radio the dates he had told me,
like the important day for paperwork November 7th
and that in his opinion we'd have the kids for Christmas.
I said, but no pressure.
But I told on the radio that you said that.
And he was like, oh, and he looked at one of his colleagues that was with him.
And he was like, oh, we better make a phone call to do, da, da, da, da.
Like, I think he was sort of joking, but not really because now the pressure's on.
And then he said, you know, I still feel that way.
And then he ended up coming to my house that night before.
event and there's like pictures of the kids everywhere.
So I think him having that connection and like seeing them and seeing us, he's like,
okay.
But he did tell me, he said the problem with my position where I am right now is I used to
tell people what to do.
Now I have to ask them.
So he's former prime minister and there's a totally different regime there.
But he is doing what he can and he showed me legit messages he's had with people back
and forth about our case file.
So when is the earliest you could get these kids?
I didn't ask that.
The earliest to me would be, no, no.
I threw a hypothetical out there about, like, I said,
because I said my husband has some work stuff,
and I said, but I mean, he can really do whatever.
So, like, say you got the kids here in, like, two or three weeks, no problem.
But he didn't really, like, look at that as a possibility.
Because where our paperwork now, he still wants to respect that November 7th.
So we'll see what happens.
November 7th is paperwork.
Our paperwork will move out of one department to the next.
When are you getting the kids?
In your mind, what date? By what date? I need a date.
Okay, I'll give you a date of...
Let's just do... Let's do December 25th. I'm getting home for Christmas.
Oh, you're going to get them for Christmas.
Yeah, Merry Christmas to me.
Okay. And does your husband feel different? Because he's really the barometer here.
Does he feel after these meetings that the kids could be really coming now?
He's next year. He's next year.
Still, even with the meeting.
And he likes this guy and he trusts him, obviously. It's nothing against that.
He just will not allow himself to get...
He's been excited about dates before.
And he just doesn't want to even let himself go there.
Because it's hard on my husband.
Like, that's one thing that I've seen him, like a softer side of him with the kids and being a dad is, you know, he just wants to, I think, either protect himself and remain tough.
So if he gets his hopes up, then he'll show weakness if it doesn't happen.
No offense, honey, there's nothing wrong with weakness if you're listening.
Is he listened back to all the shows?
Yeah, pretty much.
I should watch what I say, huh?
Well, like, what do you say?
You normally, like, if anything, you make him...
He's a macho man.
No, no, no.
He's for sure.
He's like Ultimate Fighter.
Okay, no.
He's not.
Like, for sure, everybody out there.
Like, if you see Amy's husband, don't mess with him.
No, this is the worst.
He doesn't like when you do this because then when people meet him, they're disappointed.
Well, they shouldn't be because he'll snap their neck with a pinky and a ring finger.
They're like, wow.
He's like, Bobby builds it up and then people meet me and they're like, what?
You're Amy's husband?
That's right.
I thought you were going to be like Ben Diesel.
I was right.
I was right.
I was right.
I said that.
Hiding in broad daylight.
Like he's a bad man.
That's one dude.
Listen, we only got to fight once.
I barely won, so I respect.
Okay.
Oh, now you're saying Bobby couldn't take your husband?
No, but when do you think my kids are going to get here?
Next year.
Really?
You two?
You're siding with him?
I side with, I've been laid down so many times.
Oh.
Can we not move it up?
I was thinking Thanksgiving.
I think it was.
Oh, how crazy would that be?
I can't even imagine.
I'm getting too excited.
We must stop.
There's the update.
Amy had a big charity event, and he was here, the prime minister, old prime minister, the ex-prime minister.
Yeah, former.
Former prime minister.
And that's the update.
Get those kids.
Get those kids.
Get those kids.
What do you have over there?
I have an email from a listener about your emotional barriers.
Okay.
We were talking about your breakup and, anyway, how you've got walls up, barriers.
you push people away.
We weren't.
You were.
I figure when I talk to y'all, that is a wee conversation.
Oh, well, so me and the listeners, we've been talking.
Yeah, go ahead.
Give me the email.
So this email said, Amy, just wanted to send a thanks for trying to get Bobby to break through
his emotional barriers.
The other guys are so flipping about Lindsay, but you see that she's a person too and
they're dealing with matters of the heart.
Bobby's hurts are deeper than any of us can completely understand and likely will
never be fixed. No matter how much. Wait, what? Never be fixed. I know. I don't like that word. Never. Go ahead.
Likely never. And no matter how much we try or want to love him, you, it's, it's not going to do anything.
It's beyond us. That's sad. I've been going back to therapy. Okay. Actually, I took a later flight and didn't take a bus on Friday so I could make sure to go to my once-a-week therapy session.
Okay, that's commitment.
I'm making it a priority.
That is true.
There's a lot of stuff at once.
My relationship breaking up, terrible.
Stinks.
My dog getting cancer, terrible, stinks.
What happened in Las Vegas?
Just melted me.
There's something else happened I haven't even told you about.
What?
That I'm not ready to talk about yet.
But, and it was all in like a 45-day period.
Oh, you won't know.
You'll never guess.
I'm not.
I mean, but what?
I hate that you're dealing with all of this, and there's literally something.
Okay, I get it.
I mean, if you're not ready to talk about it, you're not ready to talk about it.
I'm not ready to talk about it.
Okay.
I've been writing about it.
Wow.
That's how it.
Deal.
Okay.
I wrote a song called Namaste about it.
No.
Here you go.
Say, I got to make a joke.
But do you agree with that, that your hurts are deeper than we can?
Nope.
Just another day.
Do you think that you push people away?
Nope.
In the hard times?
I like to bring you closer.
And I don't think so.
I really dread the holidays.
I know.
And the holidays are coming out.
I really dread the holidays.
There's too much right now.
There's too much.
I dread the holidays because what am I going to do for Christmas?
Well, you can come hang out with me and my husband and maybe our kids.
I will never do that.
Why?
Because you'll be at your own family.
I never want to go to somebody else's family and be the guy that's like he had nowhere to go.
So I'll just go somewhere and get completely.
If my dog is still around, that's the thing too.
I don't even know.
Listen, people got worse problems than me.
So I'm not even...
Yeah, but that doesn't make your problems any less...
Yes, it does.
No, it doesn't.
When people have worse problems, you shouldn't feel bad about yours.
Okay.
That's what I feel about me.
So you just, the only person that can feel worse is the person with the worst problem in all the world.
Absolutely.
And I'm trying to find them.
This is the Bobby Bones show.
Bobby Bones.
I was reading this article about how women feel when they see a man cry.
Now, I have trouble crying, period.
Yeah.
Even to myself, I have trouble letting that little wall down.
Does your husband cry in front of you?
If he has, it has been few and far between.
And I actually like it.
I like showing emotion and that it's okay.
He's similar to you.
Like, he doesn't, I don't think he would want people to even know that I'm saying he's ever cried.
I think that, like, I feel like I have to be the strong one.
Yeah.
And he probably feels the same way.
100%. And he wants to be that. You're so correct in saying that. But I think it's okay to, like, if you're sad about something, you got to get it out.
They asked a bunch of women and like 70% of women say when they see a guy cry, it just makes them wanting him big old hug.
Like the guy shouldn't freak out.
Make it your thing.
I don't feel like it makes me seem weak. I just feel like I'm looked at as the leader and the strong one. And I got to keep it together for everybody.
Everybody else can break.
I'll be here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm the opposite.
You are.
But that's why we work.
So if we're both over here crying,
that would be bad.
It's the whole thing.
I'm like, I'm weak.
Take me.
I'm crying.
Lunchbox,
you and your wife?
She'll cry in front of me, no problem.
Yeah, but what about you in front of her?
I cried in front of her like when someone dies, but that's about it.
Yeah?
I mean, there's nothing else really to cry about.
Wedding.
You cried your wedding.
You cried at your wedding.
Yeah, you did.
Hey.
Yep.
Everybody.
Everybody did his air say he cried I.
He cried I.
He cried I.
That's the worst I think I ever heard.
Yeah, I did not understand your voting system there because
Lachybog was like,
I take the to beat my way.
Forever.
And it was awesome.
Can you hit that fake news clip before?
Can you hit that fake news?
That was real news.
In sickness.
It was awesome.
Guys, you guys are making things up.
No, it was awesome.
We were all, like our whole row was up.
Okay.
Okay, you want to play this game?
You want to play this game?
Stop.
Bobby.
I don't know if I'm undue to you.
Wait, what?
You know what I'm going to do?
No, I don't.
Okay.
NLR, did I cry at my wedding?
I believe so, yes.
There you go.
I do, I believe so.
But in there you go, I said yes.
I really believe you did.
Okay.
In my heart, I swear to you, I believe you did.
Yeah, we saw tears.
Okay.
I didn't see tears.
I was too far away, but I heard him choke up.
What I felt like he cried.
All right.
Yes.
That in my heart.
I can't lie on NLR.
I just wanted to make sure you understood what I was asking.
And for new listeners, NLR is like they're basically like it's a secret code on how they know the other person is 100% telling the truth.
And nobody else knows what it means except me and my dude over there.
That's right.
He tried to figure it out like not lying, really?
It's so special it makes me want to cry.
Yeah, me too.
We have our own mover right now.
I'm so cute.
The Bobby Bones show.
Bones.
All right.
So Amy was booking a reservation because she's taking her husband out.
They're having a special night.
Yeah.
Well, us and some friends.
So kind of a nicer restaurant, special occasion, friends flying into town, whatnot.
So I thought, hey, we're going to kind of go to one of the restaurants with, like, you know, $3 signs next to it.
Oh, dang.
Like, you know, when you go to Yelp, it's like $1, $2 signs, $3 signs.
Well, this one had $3 signs.
I'm like, okay.
You know, then also I notice when I'm booking the reservation online, it says that no cell phone.
are allowed in the dining room.
Well, that's cool.
Awesome.
They don't even have one of those cute little box.
It's not about being trendy and having one of those little boxes that you put your cell phone into.
It's just like, I think they've been this way for a while.
It's just their thing.
Like, it's a nice restaurant and they don't want you to have your cell phone out.
Terrible.
Yeah.
I'm like, wait.
How would I know you disagree with it?
I would not be going.
Yeah.
And then if it is such cool food, like, don't they want people Instagramming it?
They obviously don't.
They don't eat it.
So good.
It's so good.
Can you not take a group picture together at your table?
Good question.
Good question.
They didn't say no cameras.
You might have to get the disposal of that one.
Amy's hauling it.
You wind it.
So do you leave your cell phones in the car?
Interesting.
Yeah.
What do you think we should do?
Test it.
See what they do when you have your phone?
Yeah.
Get it out.
Walk in and be like, here we are.
Like you're shooting an instant story.
We're here.
See what they do.
Yeah, I don't know.
I've just never seen that advertise as like a thing.
I don't like that phones are bad on all the, like phones aren't bad.
Phones are great.
I mean, I think this, I'm not joking.
This is the kind of place where I think this role was implemented even with like Zach Morris phones.
Like the big ones or like the flip phones.
I don't think it has anything to do with like technology and smartphones and people having face-to-face conversations.
It's just an old school rule.
I guess.
Well, if I can't tweet, I can't eat.
That's my role.
The Bobby Bones show.
Bones.
So Eddie Jr. Jr. plays soccer.
Yeah.
Does he like it?
He likes it.
He likes baseball better, but I think we're just in the middle of the season now,
and he's just like, whatever, we've got to do this.
Team good?
Team's awesome.
Really?
We're undefeated.
Is he good?
I know.
He's like the rest of them.
He just kind of follows the ball, and sometimes he gets a kick in here and there.
So why is the team so good?
Because there's this one kid, man.
This kid is the Ronaldo.
We call him Little Ronaldo.
because he is awesome.
He scores 15 goals a game.
Wait a minute.
15.
He's 4 years old.
Yes, he's 4.
And he's scoring 15 goals on your team.
As soon as another kid, yeah, the team's name is the dragons, by the way.
As soon as another kid from the other team gets the ball, it's gone.
Little Ronaldo takes it, runs it down the field, and boom, in the goal, in the net.
It's amazing.
He dominates it four?
Dominates.
So what's his, like, parents play soccer?
Is he just a good athlete?
His parents look like athletes.
But, I mean, this kid looks like he's been playing for 30 years and he's four years old.
So, okay.
Literally, he's scoring like 15 goals again?
No, literally.
Like, Junior can't even, when Junior even maybe gets a foot in the ball,
and Ronaldo gets it, he's like, I got it.
And he just takes it and rips it in the net.
So he's a ball hog.
He steals it from his own team?
Here's the problem.
Oh.
Parents are starting to get a little upset, little Ronaldo.
Do you keep score?
I do.
No, but no.
Like, I do.
I'm yelling.
I'm like, a Ronaldo with another one.
But did they keep score?
No, no, they're too young to keep score.
So parents on your own team are getting mad.
Well, the parents on our team are kind of like, okay, my kid never gets the ball
because Leonardo's taking it every single time.
And then parents on the other one's like, come on, this isn't fair.
Like, this kid should be an advanced level.
Like, our kids just want to play soccer and they're not even touching the ball.
But is he of age, the same age as everybody else?
Same age.
So he should, if he wants to dominate.
Could he move up and dominate even a league up?
Oh, he could do two ages up and he would probably dominate.
I'm telling you, this kid will be in the World Cup representing the United States.
He is amazing.
We played, so far we've played seven teams, bones, they can't touch him.
No one, not one kid can touch this kid.
He's four.
He's four years old.
Little Ronaldo is amazing.
They need to get a sponsorship deal with these things.
The dragons are just dominating, huh?
He's so good.
And he has a smile on his face every single time.
Is your son care or not?
No, he likes, he's friends with Little Ronaldo.
So, Rinaldo's liked by the other kids, too.
Oh, of course.
Especially our team.
We win every game.
It's all about winning.
I don't know why those parents are mad.
You don't win.
There's no score.
No, but they can tell when their team's scoring, 15 to zero.
All right, good story.
I may have to watch how the dragon's good.
Saturday mornings, come on out.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Okay, so the World Series was last night, game one.
Yeah, game one.
And I saw how much tickets went for, and I could not
believe it. I mean, I cannot believe
that people pay this to watch a baseball game, but I mean,
I guess it's part of history. So, secondary
sites? Yes. Okay. How much
for tickets? Three thousand one hundred and
sixty-four dollars a ticket.
That was the average price. Oh my goodness.
Yeah, so that means some people paid
six or seven thousand dollars.
Oh yeah. I'm sure people paid $10,000, $20,000 to be
at front. That is
nuts. Isn't that crazy? But is it
to be able to say, I've been in the World Series?
I think if you're a huge Dodgers fan and they haven't
been there in 25 years or so?
Right.
Okay, cool.
What do you think is cooler?
Attending the World Series or Super Bowl?
If it's your team?
A little bit.
I've been to both.
Okay.
Your team's likely not.
I was a huge Cubs fan.
And the Super Bowl was kind of lame.
I'd rather watch Super Bowl on TV.
The Super Bowl was just about saying you were going.
Like, World Series.
For me, it's World Series.
It's just different, but World Series.
Because my team was in it.
Cool.
Yeah.
What else?
Okay, so guess what?
after we die, our brain is still alive
and we may even know we're dying. I saw this.
Our bodies are dead, but our brain keeps thinking.
I keep thinking about it.
I don't like that. Like, I saw it too, but
then I keep reading more and more about it. I'm like,
whoa, you mean when I die? I'm going to know, like my brain's telling
me you're dying. And the thing is, we never have any
proof because we can't have a conversation
with that brain. Oh, that's weird.
All right, next one.
Yeah.
Is that creepy to you? Yeah, I don't like that. I'm kind of fascinated by it.
I don't like that. I don't like that.
Yeah, what else you got?
Okay. So, have you ever?
talk to Siri and you try to talk to her about like a contact that you have in your phone but she doesn't
understand you because your friend's name is different or whatever yes okay well there's there's a hack for
that okay you go hey Siri oh I don't say that oh our people's phones are gonna get set off I'm not gonna say
that you just did but go ahead sorry people but you you alert her and then you say show contact
and then you spell out the name for her and then she'll forever remember so you spell it out
phonetically okay that means nothing to me
See?
My serious.
Oh.
Well, you can't say that.
Now, everybody's phones that were listening to the show just all got set off all around the country.
Even my own.
Well, don't be mad at me.
My phone went off too.
All right.
Okay.
What else?
I mean, if you're a mom of a teenager, heads up, teens are sleep deprived.
And, you know, the one reason why, or the number one reason?
Netflix.
Smart phones.
I mean, you can watch Netflix on there, but they are spending so much time on their phones.
And teenagers need nine hours of sleep.
And I think, honestly, adults.
do too. So put down your phone and get some sleep.
Okay, me, ma'all. Well, I'll put down our phones. Thank you.
Okay. All right, there's a pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Yeah.
Bobby Bones.
