Let me.
This is a.
Hey, welcome to Friday show.
More studio.
Morning.
Rodney Atkins comes later.
That would be fun.
That guy's got a lot of hits.
Make me won't take back road.
That's good.
We'll have them play a little bit, too, so that's going to happen.
You know, let's do a Flashback Friday to start the show.
I always like doing these.
And now, da-da-da-da-da-da.
Flashback Friday.
The year is 2004.
Where were you in 2004?
I was selling Granite.
It's a year before I met you.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I was living in an apartment in Austin with two of my girlfriends.
Yeah.
Great at sales.
What about you?
I guess I had just kind of started the morning show?
Yeah.
I'd been on for about a year or so.
Lunchbox and I were already doing it.
Yep.
But we hadn't found you yet.
We hadn't found her lucky treasure.
Oh, okay.
I was listening to y'all, and y'all had Jill.
She was awesome.
She was my favorite.
Yeah.
She's still a lot of people.
Oh, dang.
I'm sure.
I'm just kidding.
Nobody remembers.
That's a long time ago.
I'm just kidding.
2004 Flashback Friday.
Flashback Friday.
The biggest country song in 2004 was
Take your record.
Take your memories I don't need.
Keith are, but you'll think of me.
And the cat is a cat.
Take your cat and leave my sweater.
Take your cat, but leave my sweater.
And we debated.
And then Keith hit me up on text and was like, yeah, it's cat.
Because we thought it was cap.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So take you a cat.
The biggest pop song was from Maroon 5 in 2004.
For 15 years, these guys have been nailing it.
This love for Maroon 5.
And the biggest thing in pop culture, 2004, the Friends series finale, said a TV ratings record.
It was revealed the finale was watched by 52 million people.
I remember watching it.
They're having watch parties.
And I remember the radio station at a watch party.
they're like, we're going to go out to this restaurant, invite people.
It was a big deal.
I was like, I'm not going.
I don't want to watch it with much people.
I want to watch it at home.
And I did.
I was kind of a bad boy back then.
Rebel.
And the series finale aired and it had 52 million people.
So I thought the Friends Finanella was good.
Did you guys like the Friends Finnelly or no?
Yeah.
They let the keys on the deal.
Yeah.
I still hoping they do a reunion at some point.
I don't want them to.
I don't think it can be as good.
I mean, just one little get-together.
There's no win.
It can't be as good.
That's why I don't want to be an office reunion.
It can't be as good as people want it to be.
Yeah, I just want to know what's going on, though.
Okay, well, they should write a blog.
Because at the end, what, they move out?
Yeah, they all move.
They're in different ways.
Yeah, so, there you go.
That's Flashback Friday.
Here we go.
Flashback Friday.
Hey, welcome to the show.
We got a big one today.
Here's the Bobby Bones Show podcast, highlight segment of the day.
The Bobby Bones Show.
Lunchbox took a hidden mic out.
What did you do?
I want to get my mom.
something special for Mother's Day
so I went to stores and
asked the salespeople to help me
pick out a bra and panties for my
mom. No. For your mom.
No. No. No. No. All right.
Yes. This would be creepy.
Yeah. So I'm trying to get my mom
something for Mother's Day
and I need help picking out like a bra and panties
set that'll make her feel like
man, man I still look good after having three
kids. Your mom?
Yeah, my mom. You want
to buy your mom my thickly panty and bra?
I don't have a son
but I would probably feel something like a way
if my son got me telling them bra.
I mean, what size brush are you? You know what size you'd?
Like double D like
She's got them bouncing.
36
D. Okay, 36 double D. Okay, 36
D. All right, I'll just go braw.
All right, thank you.
Did you buy it? So that's me
with the clerk, okay?
And then I go to the cashier
and make sure the cashier likes the bra
for my mom. Oh, same store.
Same store.
So I'm trying to get this for my mom for Mother's Day.
I just want my mom to know she's beautiful.
Yeah, it's sexy, yeah.
Yeah.
That's cute.
Yeah.
Would you get your mom something like that?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
That's all I need to hear.
She's not going to like to think it's weird though, right?
Not saying.
All right.
That's what I'm talking about.
They never go wrong with a good bra.
That's right.
You know what I'm saying?
Never go wrong with a good bra.
Thank you.
That's funny.
What else you got?
So this next tour I go to,
I go up to a lady and ask her if she can help me pick out a bra and panties for my mom.
And she doesn't think it's a good idea.
Different store?
Different store.
Trying to buy my mom like a nice bra and panties set for Mother's Day.
Pannies and bra probably wouldn't be my thing from my son.
Like if your son got you that, like what's the reaction?
I wouldn't want my son to buy me my panting and bra.
Oh.
I thought I was being creative, but that's not, that's too creative?
Most men are about a little suit or dress?
or
you mean
roses
I wouldn't say
panas or lingerie
anything
So I should change directions
Yeah
All right
And one more
Give me one more
So this last one
I went to the store
And the clerk on the floor
Didn't really help me
She just pointed me
In the direction
So I got lingerie
With some lace
And cherries on it
And this is the cashier
Cherries
Oh
Lace
No cherries
And cherries
For your mom
Yeah
For my mom
So I got this
lingerie for my mom for Mother's Day.
It's not too revealing, but it's
kind of revealing, you know, to make her feel beautiful,
but also say, I love you
in a non-creep way. You know, got the...
She's the old one.
Yes, my mom.
Like, with the cherries and the lace on the
bottom, does that say, I love you, but
like, not a creepy way?
I'll just make a sure.
Like, if your son gave you that, that'd be okay?
Okay, let me get a high-five on that one.
Thank you.
They're just trying to get you out of there.
They're trying to sell that.
thing.
They're just trying to get through out of there.
Lacey panties were good cherries for your mom.
Yeah.
That's funny, though.
That's a good one.
So what did you do with all that stuff?
Hey, where?
He's not, you got it on now.
Watch this.
Next week I'll have to take it back because my mom thought it was awkward
that I bought her bra and painting.
You will take it back.
No, you should say next week when you do it, like, I had her try it on for me.
It didn't fit.

The Bobby Bones Show.
Big three stories.
Our producer Raymundo from the glass room with the news.
Raymundo, what you got?
Uber is going public today so you can buy and trade Uber stock.
The Uber market debut is said to be the biggest in five years,
so that's pretty cool.
You can get a share for $45.
In other news at Camp Pendleton near San Diego,
a Marine was killed.
Six others were injured.
in an armored vehicle rollover accident, authorities are still investigating the cause.
And finally, in tax refund news, there have been some delays in Missouri due to computer problems.
So heads up if you're expecting money back.
In a show earlier this week, Lunchmark said that when he goes to a hotel, he takes everything.
He takes all the soaps, all the shampoos, he goes to the pool, takes towels.
Like when he goes to a hotel, it's basically a shopping spree, right?
Yeah, well, everything is free.
You pay for that when you stay there.
And how do listeners react to that?
Well, guys, I have to say I got a lot of negative feedback and I wanted to apologize to everybody on the show because I had numerous people tell me they were no longer going to listen to the show because of my dishonesty.
One person was a part of a carpool group and they cannot subject their carpool people to that kind of behavior.
Do you feel as dishonest though?
No, absolutely not.
They put it there.
They put it in small bottles because they're saying, hey, these are travel size so you can,
put them back in your suitcase and go through the airport with them.
That is what a hotel is telling you.
What about the towels that you take?
The towels at the pool, maybe that was probably bad.
Maybe that was bad.
What about the soap that you, no, no, not the soap.
The toilet paper?
The toilet paper that you take.
No, they throw that away when you were at a hotel and you pay for it in your fees.
So that hotel, once you go into that room, that toilet paper is yours.
So are you ready for a little knowledge?
bomb? Yeah. You got knowledge bombs?
I had a couple people reach out that run hotel chains.
Okay. And what they told me
was, so the toilet paper that's half used,
even some that's full used, even some of the shampoo stuff that's left behind,
they donate to homeless women shelters.
Oh. So they're not getting those.
Well, I didn't know that.
Maybe I'm not staying at those places.
Because usually I just see them in the trash can of the maids cart.
And I may walk by the maids cart. And I may walk by the maids cart,
I always have. Can I connect you take down to the maid's cartoon? I ask her.
That's not part of your fee, though. Can I get an extra shampoo? Can I get an extra body wash?
Does it affect you at all that I'm telling you that a lot of this stuff goes to homeless shelters and women shelters?
That's awesome. That makes me feel good that it's not just being wasted. Because I always worried that it was just being wasted.
But for you?
No, it still goes to good use in my house. Like when I have guests come, I want them to be clean.
Will you stop taking towels?
Yeah, I'll stop taking towels.
You promise?
Yeah. I mean, I'm kind of grown up now. I don't need towels. I got a couple towels.
I try you can buy your own towels.
I still got Marlboro towels.
Excuse me?
Yeah, my parents used to collect miles off the side of Marlboro boxes and you could send them in and get prizes.
And we got Marlboro towels and, man, they're still together. They're intact.
Yeah.
It's a good little thing. We got a leather jacket one time.
Got a couple chairs. I mean, I got a lot of things from those Marlboro miles.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was five miles per box.
just to update that listeners have stopped listening because of that segment
and you've also learned that maybe you shouldn't take all that stuff.
Well, no, no, no, I just learned that if it is left behind,
that it doesn't all go to waste sometimes.
But you're still going to take it.
I'm still going to take it because I need to provide my guests at my house with shampoo and soap.
Do you have a lot of guests?
No.
All right.
I dare you.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
I want to go over and talk to Terry, who is in Alabama.
Alabama.
Terry, good morning to you.
Good morning.
How's your day going?
It is going great.
We are actually on our way to school.
We are long-time listeners, but first time callers, the kids are in here.
And I think for a while they actually wondered if Bobby Bones was a real person.
You know, we had a call the other day.
It thought the same thing.
Watch this.
Ow.
See, it hurt me when I did that.
I'm as real as can be.
Yeah.
What would you like to say?
We just wanted to tell you that Hobby Lobby Bobby was our favorite.
Out of all of them, that, and when I taste Chipotle.
I think either one of them you can't go wrong with making your single,
because Hobby Lobby Bobby is fantastic,
but when I taste Chipotle, sort of trumps when I taste tequila.
Because, I mean, now I kind of wonder if Dan and Shea sort of slip up whenever they sing it
and they throw your words in there.
So, you know, you kind of get advertisement both ways,
and then you pass Chipotle, and so it's just, it's Bobby everywhere.
How funny would that be if Dan and Cheate are on stage somewhere,
like one of these big award shows?
and Shay messes up and goes,
When I taste your pot,
tequila,
that'd be a real feather
in the old cap of this radio show.
Okay, so you do like our latest single,
well, we're still deciding on a single
Hobby Lobby Bobby from The Raging Idiots.
It is fantastic.
Okay, I'm going to put...
So the kids were singing with you in the back,
so they were fans.
Okay, I'm going to,
we'll play it again coming up in a second then.
Thank you very much.
All right.
Hope you have a good day.
Tell the kids and say hello.
What's their names?
Jackson and Gillian.
Jackson.
Hey, did you name me?
him after the town? No, it's not
Jack and Jill. No. Oh, I didn't think about
that Jackin. Oh, I was thinking
like, they're going to Jackson.
Why did you name him Jackson?
He's a family name. Okay. His is a family name
and hers was a random pick a J-letter
name and that was falling
the one we decided on. So, if you
were going to have another kid now, would you name him Archie?
Like Bob or something
totally different. Oh, Bob. Okay,
but there you go. I know. Just, yeah.
Hey, thank you. Terry. Have a wonderful
day. Appreciate you calling, all right?
You got the archie reference, right?
Yes, I did.
A scientist said the human lifespan could be 100 years soon.
Oh, wow.
What do we need to do?
Well, it's not even super nutty now if humans live to 100.
It's like, wow, check it out.
But back in the day, it used to be 30.
I told you that science that our bodies aren't really meant to be over 35 years old
because that's when we start to get injured all the time.
And it doesn't heal back.
But science, nutrition, we've gotten better.
But, yeah, one of the 100 years old, they say in the next 30 years.
to 40 years could be the new average lifespan.
Oh.
As long as I'm healthy, I'll live until whenever.
I'm selfish. Like, keep me on earth.
But if I'm not feeling good, I'm kind of ready to go now.
What?
Sometimes I wake up and I get like a tickle on my throat and I'm like, I'm ready to mail this
this end.
Take me now.
Yeah, it's just like, you know, I'm good.
I'm good.
Yeah, I guess for me it depends on what the quality of life is at 100.
Like, am I alive?
That's why I'm like, I get a tickle on.
I don't want to be here now.

The latest from Nashville and Hollywood.
Morgan number two's 30 Second Skinny.
Rodney Atkins' new album is out today.
It's called Caught Up in the Country.
Here's the title song.
Maddie and Tay are on tour right now with Carrie Underwood.
So Carrie shared that her son Isaiah asked to get all dressed up for Maddie of Maddie and Tay.
He even asked his mom Carrie to fix his hair.
and get him some flowers to give to her.
Carrie tweeted the whole situation
by also joking, saying,
don't you break his heart, Maddie.
Jimmy Allen says his grandma influenced his singing,
but not because of her musical talents.
Yeah, grandma, she wasn't much of it.
She influenced my singing,
but she definitely wasn't the biggest singer in the family.
She kind of sounded like a hummingbird.
If you can mix a hummingbird in Aaron Neville,
it's kind of like what my grandma sounds like,
She used to be an usher at the church and just loved music.
She was staying at the back of the church and like point her finger but not to the beat.
So if you were singing, don't watch her because she'll throw you off.
I'm Morgan number two.
That's your skinny.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
So shout out to this guy, John, in St. Petersburg, Florida.
He lives there.
He's about to celebrate his 26th birthday.
But instead of like having a party just for himself and his friends, he's giving the entire
city of St. Pete, ice cream. He's rented a truck. First birthday is coming up May 29th, and he's
going to hand out to ice cream cones to as many people as he can in the city. And he's asking for
nothing in return, but if they want to make a donation for the ice cream, he is accepting donations for
birthday candles for kids, which is a West Central Florida-based nonprofit that throws parties
for homeless and foster kids in the area. Wow. Wow, wow, wow. I got like a chill go down my
I know because it's like it's his birthday and that's so creative.
Like he's like paid for the ice cream track.
People can take the ice cream for free or they can be like donation and then boom,
it goes towards kids' birthday parties in need.
That's such a good one.
Such a good idea.
That's what it's all about.
And he's only 26.
He's wise.
I mean, that's an adult.
They're like he's four.
And he's two.
Yes, that's good though.
Okay, okay.
That was tell me something good.
I'll be bonn.
Yeah.
Lindsay.
Hello?
What's happening?
Hi, so I'm Lindsay from Amarillo, and I'm taking my nursing finals today, and I just wanted to call in and say that I'm so incredibly grateful for your show.
It's such a distresser for me, and we love the morning corny.
I always go in and tell my classmates the morning corny, and I'm such a horrible deliver of joke, so it just makes it even more corny.
So I just wanted to call in and say thank you.
How are you feeling about that final today?
I feel pretty good.
Yeah.
So hopefully I can pull it out.
Yeah.
What I'm not saying.
There you go.
There she is.
Thank you very much.
Hey, listen, good luck.
Let us know how it goes.
Will you please?
Oh, yes, I will.
Thank you.
All right.
Thank you for the call.
Appreciate that.
Bobby Bone Show.
Bonehead.
Norrie up the day.
This story comes with us from Lincoln, Nebraska.
A 32-year-old man was walking with a buddy down the sidewalk.
He's like, oh, you want to see my new gun?
so the 32-year-old goes to pull it out of his pocket, drops it, hits the sidewalk, and boom, goes off and shoots them right in the genitals.
Oh, the genitals.
Oh, such a technical term.
Yeah, non-life-threatening injuries, though.
Oh, it's life-threatening.
It may not die, but that's still, there's some life of his that's been threatened.
Oh, yes.

I'm going to grab this call from Shana in Florida.
Shannon, welcome to the show.
What would you like to say?
Well, I was listening to you this morning
and a couple different things that you said
made me think that you might have
something called Asperger,
so it's high-functioning autism.
Interesting.
Which is probably not something that is the best
thing to talk on radio, but I just wondered if you've known much about it or if you've looked into it.
Somebody read me, Eddie, read me what Asperger's is officially.
It's a developmental order affecting ability to effectively socialize and communicate.
You're saying a lot of the same words in the same sentence.
It's a disorder, not an order.
Yeah, it's a developmental.
Lunchbox, do you know what Asperger's is?
Oh, my goodness.
Yes.
Go ahead.
It means you have a very hard time interacting socialism.
Okay, Amy, do you know?
God.
Good job, Lexington.
Hold on, we're going around the room here.
Eventually, somebody's going to get this right.
Amy, I'm going to come to you.
Do you know what Asperger's is?
Well, it's a developmental disorder characterized by difficulties with social interaction,
nonverbal communication, and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
Okay, well, I think I do fit on that spectrum a bit.
That's what I'm trying to say.
I'm not sure if I actually have it.
Wait, did you ever watch Parenthood?
No.
Oh.
So I
You just have to understand though
My life's a bit different
Because I am on so much
Radio show or TV show
Or if I'm doing comedy
Then when I'm out of this place
I got nothing to say to anyone
And maybe that comes off as
Not good at socializing
Oh I'm not good at socializing
Whenever it's not showtime
What's another one?
I'm so OCD about certain things
Right repetitive patterns
Just if I don't do it right
Exactly right
Or even numbers
Like I'm probably going to have a car wreck
Like that's a, oh, whoa.
You have difficulty.
How do I get checked for that?
I'll go get checked for Asperger's.
Because I don't think that I have it, but I don't mean, I'm not, I'm not.
Well, and I'll tell you, it's not a, I mean, it's not a bad thing.
No, I don't think it's a bad thing.
I think it, whatever I have.
Anthony Hopkins has it, there's a lot of stars.
Oh, you want to get tested?
I got a three-minute test right here.
Three minutes.
I'm not taking an internet test for Asperger.
You need to get, go to your doctor, get a referral to a psychiatrist, and, you want to get a
and preferably one with diagnosing autism and then take it from there.
Well, Shanna, why do you think this?
What do you know about Asperger's?
My son, who's 11, has it.
And do you hear things in me like he does?
Oh, exactly.
And he listens to you two.
And so he said this morning, does Bobby have Asperger's?
Because you talked about giving interest when you take money from your kids.
my son just told me that yesterday.
I borrowed like a dollar from him and he goes,
am I getting interest on that?
Well, that just sounds like a bright kid if you ask me, someone who knows.
That is, Asperger's, they are very bright.
Oh, well, I hope I haven't.
Very smart.
Very smart.
Almost like so, so smart for.
Yeah, they're a little smarter than the average.
That's why they have it hard time interacting with people because they're smarter than them
and they get frustrated like, why do you not understand?
So is that, it's like Asperger is the highest.
level. Is but burgers below that?
Oh, what? No, it's only one S.
A-S-P.
Bobby makes jokes when he's uncomfortable.
I'm not even uncomfortable.
No, I know. But, well, the reason, I'm curious
about your opinion on this if you ever saw
since your child, you're living
anyway, do you ever see parenthood? Is that
an accurate depiction of Asperger's?
Because the sun has it.
I haven't seen it. Okay, never mind.
Shannon, I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
And the next fit, almost American Idol's over.
I'm going to go get checked for Asperger's.
And I don't even say that jokingly.
I may have it.
That'd be cool if I did, then I can actually tell other people it's all right to have it.
It is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Introverted and creative.
All right.
All right.
Thank you for the call.
You're welcome.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate that.
Here's Amy's Pile of Stories.
Fun fact Friday.
So did you know that Robert De Niro turned down the part in Big that eventually went to Tom Hanks?
I did not.
Yeah.
I think you would have done fantastic.
I think we know the roles as the actors that did the roles.
But if Will Smith would have done it.
Or, well, Smith's probably too young.
But it would just be their role.
I think Tom Makes is wonderful.
But Robert Inner was a fantastic actor.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
Queen's original title for Bohemian Rhapsody was The Cowboy Song.
I didn't know that.
Yeah.
Wouldn't have minded that.
I'd like that movie name better.
And now, Remy Malik and the Cowboy song.
Yeah, what else?
Okay, polar bears, they don't have white hair.
It's transparent fur that reflects sunlight off the snow makes them look white.
Oh, is that right?
Isn't that cool?
I didn't know that.
I know.
It's still pretty fun.
Keep going.
Fun fact Friday.
I'll let you know when it's not fun anymore.
Walmart store managers, do you know what they make a year?
A lot of people happy.
$175,000.
Oh, wow.
Fun fact.
Manager?
Yeah.
Like, I think probably their whole store.
Yeah, I think General Man.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not just the produce.
Not pro, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's cool.
That's awesome.
That's awesome.
That's the funest fact I've ever heard.
That is so fun.
I want to be alive.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And 2% of Americans say they've never eaten a taco.
That's not fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a worst fact ever.
Yeah.
That's the one you end on.
All right, what else?
Okay.
So, this is kind of cool.
A college is using therapy donkeys, and I'm into it.
Because, you know, how some schools have set up puppy play areas during finals or kitten cafes and whatnot.
I'm totally into the donkeys, and it's going down at a university in upstate New York, and they bring them in to relax for finals.
You know, if they're bringing animals in and they're treating the animals right, I'm okay with it.
They're little miniature donkeys, Celeste, Jesse, and Cookie.
students get to pet them, hug them, take photos.
I mean, I don't know.
If you're just in charge of any of this at your school or university,
like it's something to keep in mind.
Like, yeah, like Bobby said,
whatever the animal, as long as you're treating them good,
I think it's something, it's a really stressful time for college students.
And if you can, like, have an activity, like a little petting zoo.
If I'm trying to get in binals and you walk in an ostrich, I'm like, what is happening here?
An ostrich is not.
I know, but I don't really think that's a therapy pet.
I wouldn't see that.
That is relaxing.
I'd be scared, sort of.
Too weird.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, but like pigs or minter ones.
Why do you get to pick what's therapy and what's not?
Okay, fine.
Try the ostrich.
See how it works.
Okay, so Mother's Day is Sunday.
So heads up.
I saw a survey that looked at what moms want for Mother's Day.
And three things made the top five in both, like, two different surveys.
And that was flowers, a card, and something sentimental.
So if you can pull that off.
you're in good with the moms.
With your wife lunchbox? What do you have going?
I got her a card.
Did you write a long note?
Yeah, well, I mean, a couple sentences
because she can't really read my handwriting. It's pretty bad,
so I just wrote a little couple sentences.
Kind of a funny card.
Why you type it out?
Well, you can't type it onto a card.
Put in a typewriter, roll it.
I guess I could type it on the computer, print it, and then blew it in.
Tape it in.
That would be cute.
Maybe I'll go back to that.
the drawing board. What kind of note did you write?
Hey, just think, thanks for the last 10 months. You've been a great mom. I hope it's been the best 10
months of your life. That's pretty good. Sweet. Yeah. Short, sweet to the point and let her know
she's a mom. You should write her a poem and share it with us. You'll write her a poem. I'll write her a poem. Yeah. I'm good at poems.
You are? Yeah. See, I think you should give it to her on another say and then bring it back and share it with us. Yeah, I can write it and share it to you Monday.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Yeah.
Home to my wife.
Oh, he's already titled it.
Home to my wife.
And his voice changed.
All right, Amy, is that it?
Well, I have one of their Mother's Day thing.
Bonus, go ahead.
It's kind of a bonus because I just found it to be interesting.
But another survey asked people which actress should play their mother in a movie.
And the number one answer was Merrill Street.
And Sally Field came in second, which is so funny because I would pick Sally Field.
Like, if my mom was played a movie, I pick Sally Field.
Oh, wow.
I pick Kate Begantzel.
Wait.
Just talking to do a movie with her.
I just saw her.
But it would be your mom.
I don't care.
She's just playing the mom.
Yeah, really my mom.
Okay, yeah, that's it.
We're done.

With lunchbox.
Tell me something good.
When you lose something, how long before you think, okay, it's gone forever?
Like six months, a year?
What are we talking?
A week.
One lady lost her wedding ring 11 years ago on the...
the beach in California.
Wow.
She had given up.
On the beach too.
Wow.
It's gone.
Two weeks ago.
She's scrolling through the local Facebook page, the community Facebook page,
and she sees a post about someone found a wedding ring on the beach.
She goes, no way.
She sends them a message on Facebook, describes the ring.
It's her ring.
A daughter and mother walking on the beach found it.
She described it perfectly.
Went and met them.
Ring fit right back on her finger.
I love that.
song, too.
What?
It's her ring.
Thank you.
What?
It does something to her.
Send a shot right through her.
Lensbach's the only one who got the melody of that song.
You guys don't know that song?
I got it.
I got it.
Oh my gosh.
But yeah, 11 years later, she gets her ring back.
Yeah, that's cool.
Amy once lost her wedding for a year.
Almost.
It's a couple seasons, maybe.
Winterda.
It fell off her finger when she was living in North Carolina.
She went to Austin.
And it was in the snow.
My mom and I couldn't find it, and we were on a road trip back to Austin, and we had to leave.
Yeah, came back, got a metal detector, found the ring inside her house.
The snow melted.
It was a different season.
My husband was in Afghanistan.
I never told him the whole time it was missing.
Because, I mean, he doesn't need to worry about that way.
That's over the scenes, you know?
Busy.
Yeah, yeah.
Anyway, good story, lunchbox.
That was tell me something good.
Folks, it's your buddy and mine.
Mr. Bobby Bones.
Let me know.
I'm a transmitter.
Over to Amy and get the Morning Corny.
The Morning Corny!
Did you hear about the population of Ireland?
No, I did not hear about the population of Ireland.
It's Dublin.
There it is.
That's good.
Dublin. It's Dublin.
That was the Morning Corny.
The Friday morning conversation with Rodney Adkins.
There he is.
Come on in here.
Look at this guy.
You guys come on and have to see where I've on here.
Rodney, sit right over here, bud.
Look at this guy.
Let's go out through Rodney's library.
You got so many hits.
You got so many hits.
You got so many hits.
I forgot about some of the hits, Rodney.
Bless your heart.
Yeah, bless my heart.
I appreciate that.
How are y'all doing?
Good, man.
Everybody good?
Good.
Yeah, good.
Look at you.
Rodney, how you been, bud?
Great, man.
Yeah?
What's been happening in life?
Yeah, man.
Just finishing this album and taking like, what,
four and a half years.
to work on.
Why this album takes so long?
I like to say because I
refuse to settle for
anything just to say I have something.
I just wanted to
I think you owe it to
the fans
to give them something great. It takes a while
to accumulate tunes
that'll be around for a long time.
I'm going to play some of these hits real quick. Put those headphones
on right there. All right, so let's do this.
He said I've been watching
you. That ain't that cool.
What's thinking about that?
Just the boys, man.
Think about my son who is 17 now,
who is, that, he's always going to be my little bear
that I wrote that song about.
Just never forget him.
He was in pre-K,
and his teacher told me he was singing
if you're going through hell in the lunch line.
And that's what spurred that whole song idea.
You want to play a little bit of that one?
I'd like to hear some of that one.
How's your morning voice?
We'll see. We'll see.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Rodney Atkins.
Yeah, just give us some of that.
Give us some of that watching you.
Hey guys, so because of licensing rules,
we can't play anything with music on this IheartRadio 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.
Holy kill, that's so good, man.
Oh, thank you, man.
By the way, the new record caught up in the country.
And this song, by the way, blowing up the chart, man.
Look at you.
Back again.
Would it expect nothing less?
It keeps hanging around out there.
Hanging around.
This thing's moving, man.
It's fun.
It's been a blast to see, you know, every show there's more and more people sing along with you.
And now they can even clap and stomp where they're supposed to.
The Friday morning conversation with Rodney Atkins.
I have a question for you, Rodney.
There's so many guys that have almost your name.
There's Rhett, Red Aiken, there's Trace Atkins, there's Rodney Ackon.
There's a lot.
Was that ever like a hurdle in your career that you were just getting confused all the time with these guys?
Yeah.
So when I was taking meetings with record labels early on, I was asked to change my name several times.
And then when I met with Mike Kerb, he said, would you consider changing your name?
And I said, you know what, man, I was adopted when I was a kid.
I'm lucky to have my last name.
And, you know, it really kind of means something I'd rather not.
And he said, well, that's the reason not to right there.
And that's how you kept it.
Yeah.
Oh, I love that.
Amy's adopted two kids.
We were talking about it because you were adopted a few times, huh?
Yeah, two or three times I was adopted and returned.
So what was that about?
They kept their receipt.
From what I understand, I was pretty sick when I was little.
And I think if I was colicky, then that would be a loud, really, you know, rough-sounding baby, I think.
And I don't know.
I think that actually one of the couples, the reason they took me back was because they said I was too pale.
And that people would know I was adopted, which now that's kind of not a thing.
thing.
And I just think I was kind of hard to handle.
You still feel like you're hard to handle?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's see.
Caught up in the country.
Let me run through some of these hits real quick before we play some of the new stuff
here.
Let's see.
How about...
I bet that's like a rocker, right?
Absolutely.
People probably love this one live.
Or maybe this one?
Come on in more, shit on down, and tell me about your gun.
Tell me about this one.
What do you feel when you hear this one?
Oh, I go right back to the first girl that I ever called on, you know, back home.
And I went and I pulled in her driveway and her old man who was a Kentucky coal miner, big six-foot-four monster of a guy.
He was shooting bottle cats with a 357.
Oh my gosh
You see the ground blow up
And
He's the first guy
He's actually the guy that taught me
How to play guitar
Rodney Atkins is here
This one is the jam
I still play this on our Friday morning
Dance Parties
And it'll be like
It'll be like Drake
And then Garth
And like Kendrick Lamar
And then Rodney Atkins
And I'll throw this one in
It's just such a good
Feel Good song still
That's a jam
I love that song
You guys will play this one?
You mind playing this one?
Yeah, man.
That's a jam.
Look at you.
Let me play some of this new stuff here.
How about this is called My Life?
Talking about that one.
Wow, that song, so my wife rose that you know.
When we met and knew we were in love and like that's the one and we were both, we were down.
This is it.
And we started having conversations about, well, what do you?
want in a relationship.
And she said, I won't want my grandparents have.
And I didn't know what that meant at the time, but found out it meant being married
for 71 years and being completely unselfish, considering another person.
And they just have an amazing love, man.
And so her grandmother and I after we met, we related in this different way because she
was an orphan also and bounced around.
and we used to talk and when she passed, she couldn't speak in her final days.
She could only write these little notes, and she scribbled out things like water and cold and hot.
The last note she wrote, though, was to Rose's grandpa, and it said, I loved my life.
And he gave us that note.
And so Rose and I got together, and I said, I think there might be a song in this.
And we started to try to write the song about her life, but we kind of couldn't get anywhere.
So we wrote my life, and it's pretty much my story.
Wow.
It's that thing about my heart because you stole it.
My kiss cause you want it.
My mind cause you're on it.
Every minute, life calls you in it.
It's that thing about when you are adopted, even if you get incredible parents, you still struggle with
with self-worth and how you see yourself,
that you don't belong, that you're not worthy of good things.
And sometimes it takes seeing somebody else love you
in order, you just have to believe them.
I have to believe that my wife is, she's right, I'm okay.
And that's what that's about.
Wow.
Records out today, Rodney Atkins.
I'm going to tell you, man.
It's been a pleasure talking to you.
My pleasure, man.
you came in and you were like, let me see if this morning voice worked. Let me tell you, it worked.
Thanks, man. Thanks for having us, man. I think I want to end on that because you can't go.
That's just the greatest story. And wow. Thanks, bro. I'm moved. All right, Rodney Atkins and we'll be back.

If you wake up early and you hear the show,
Ramundo works in the Glassroom.
There's a lot of our production,
and it comes in and reads the news.
He's on that song, Vacation, that was a hit for about two days.
Congratulations on that, by the way.
Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
It's still a hit.
But, you know, for a long time, he's been with the same girl.
You guys have been together how long?
Five years now.
Wow.
And how old are you?
I'm 33.
And is she the one in your eyes?
Absolutely.
That's why I've been dating her for this long.
I wouldn't just be chilling with somebody for no reason whatsoever.
Has she been pressuring you at all to get engaged?
She really hasn't.
She's been laying back.
I told her just give me my.
space and you know I'll make the right decision. She trusts me. Not in a mean way,
but I just told her that pestering doesn't do anything to anybody. It was a little bit. And so I
told her, hey, naturally this is going to happen. It's a fun. When did you tell her that though?
How long ago? Months ago. Okay, just months. Yeah. Because there's a lot of family pressure,
news pressure, media, celebrities. What? Who? What celebrities? I mean, all these country stars
are getting engaged, this, that, turn on Instagram. Oh, they're engaged now. Everybody's engaged.
You're saying because of all the people around us, you're feeling the pressure a little more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But you said, give my space.
Not in a mean way, but just a...
But in a nice way.
Give my space.
Please.
Higher pitch.
So what's the latest on that?
Well, I decided to finally start a ring fund before it was just casual.
So the money would just be in my pocket or it's at my house in a drawer.
And next thing you know, I go to Fort Lauderdale.
I spend it.
I go to the bar, be an Eddie, you're buying $18 beers for the NFL draft.
And so I thought, why don't I get with my bank and have them auto draft money for my account every paycheck?
And so that's what I'm doing.
Wow.
So $25 every paycheck, that's $50 a month.
Did you get married by the time you're 50?
Well, then that's going to build for an amazing down payment.
Huh.
And I thought this is going to whip me into shape.
So 50 bucks a month is going.
And are you going to want to buy the whole ring or just a down payment?
Because if you're going to buy the whole ring, then you're going to get married.
Honestly, I was hoping for some deals through the radio deal.
We have ring endorsements that are going on on the show all throughout the show.
So maybe I can get them down a little bit.
But yeah, this is a start.
I'm not doing 100 a paycheck.
And next thing you know, I'm, you know, pinching pennies to get by.
How much you're looking to spend on a ring?
I mean, $1,000 is an amazing amount of money.
And I think that will get top of the line all diamond-encrusted.
Honestine is...
Diamond-incrusted.
No, you're maybe getting one diamond.
It's like a whole ring
encrusted in diamond.
I just tried to get a ring
that was in the same shelf
with a ring with a diamond
Wow.
Okay.
So you're saying you want a ring that
bumped into a ring with a diamond
at one point.
Yeah, it encountered a...
Like it rubbed up against a diamond
at some time.
Like it used to have,
a band that used to have a diamond on it.
Maybe it was in the same case as a diamond.
Yeah.
I just know how money builds.
25.
Next thing you know, you've got tons
in the account.
The next thing you have 75.
The next thing you have 100.
And that's two months.
What month
We are we in? We are May, May 10th. So, oh, so that's, okay. So when do you want to get engaged by?
So I'd say Christmas is a pretty darn good deadline. Let's do the math on this.
Okay, please, Bobby, you're good at math. 50 bucks a month is what he's at. And so we're at May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December. That's $400.
Yeah. That's to get the ball rolling. Yeah, I figured, I didn't know if you got it set up in time for this next page. So I put 350 in my calculator.
what I got because I said,
wow, you're going to be well on your way.
Hey, and then Bones maybe funds that account
just to get started, babe?
Oh, good idea.
Why would you want money from him for an engagement ring?
I would put money in your ring account.
I don't know, just to pad that thing,
just to get it going.
Would your girl be upset if I put money in to buy her ring?
She'd think it was awesome.
Oh, then I guess we could all pitch in.
Yeah.
If, um, I put in for the ring.
Hold on.
If I put it in a ring, will you put a big Bobby Bone Show logo at your wedding?
Like in the...
Yeah, sponsor.
Oh, I think she's going old school with this.
She's already playing the wedding in her head and it's churches and stuff like that.
The logo would be tough, but I could pull it off.
Bones, if he takes your money, you can decide lots of things when he proposes, how he proposes.
Okay.
You know what I'm saying?
How much Ramundo for me to choose how you propose?
Oh!
Yeah.
Money tops, baby.
Money talk, money, time, money to talk.
And you write the lines that he has to say.
Ray, go big.
No, Amy, be quiet.
What?
No, no, don't, don't, don't, don't.
It's just a location.
No, no, I tell you how to propose.
Like, where to go?
That's how good.
How much do you need?
$1,000?
Yeah.
If I were to put $1,000, I get to pick wherever and whenever and however.
That's it.
That's it.
Whenever.
Yes.
What in the world?
Whenever.
He is in control.
That it's rushing.
me. You want the money, right?
Do who, what, win, where? Why? I thought we were just doing maybe location
and I'm not giving a thousand.
Bobby? What? What about 2000?
What? That was about to be so good. That was going to be awesome.
If I do a thousand.
Oh my gosh. Yeah.
Yeah.
What do you do? Bones, you gotta do the whenever.
Just, and however.
I say you, I say you. And whoever.
Oh, no, no, no. I got it. I got it.
Bobby. Bobby, no, no. I guess I don't like this game. I'm not doing it.
How about you get to officiate.
the wedding. He probably wants to do that anyway.
Yeah, she probably wants...
I'm not going to give you any money for your ring account.
All good. It was just an idea. Totally cool with that.
What I would suggest is save your money.
Yeah. Which I'm doing.
I would probably do maybe 50.
You can do that. You do fine.
Instead of 25.
But are you still gambling?
What's he doing 50? You say 20 for $20? He's doing $25 per paycheck.
50 a month.
Okay. Do 50 a check.
Okay. Get to the end of the year and put that on a down payment and go.
That's a crap lot of money.
That's a good advice.
Thank you.
Maybe I can call one of our people.
Yeah!
And see what kind of deal they would give you.
I did have one of our sponsors come up to me, one of our ring sponsors, and go, will you
please get engaged so we can get you a ring?
And I was like, I don't even have a girlfriend.
What do you want for me?
Trying to rush you.
Yeah.
They're like, we would really love for you because you talk about it.
We would love for you to have one of our rings.
Oh, that's awesome.
Let me see.
How much you're willing to spend total?
G, I could stretch to 2G.
You don't want to go crazy anymore than that.
But with a deal, let's be real.
I mean, that's going to be cool.
What does she want?
Simple.
Simple. Okay.
Yeah, nothing crazy.
We're just talking.
It's engagement, a diamond, a ring, and make it thoughtful.
Have you talked to her about this?
Yeah.
Girls like that, what do you like?
Don't pressure me.
It's like halo top or something like that.
What?
Princess cut.
You're talking about like an ice cream cake.
Yeah.
But it's like she wants sprinkles.
No, that's a cupcake.
Spriggled in diamonds.
Oh, I see a Halo top
engagement ring.
How much? How much is that?
French set halo diamond.
$19,931.
Well, I mean, that's good.
Do you know how many $50 do you have to take?
I got you.
A lot of $50.
Yeah, yeah.
I think you should put money back
and then do a down payment on the ring.
We'll do.
Okay, let me make some calls
and see what I can do for you too.
You also have the, when you're buying the ring,
don't forget to say, is that the best price you can give me?
Oh, done and done.
I'll make sure it's the best price they can give them.
I'll go to one of my people.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Sounds good.
We'll get an update in a week or so.
All right.
25 bucks.
That's crazy.
This guy.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
You know, those ring doorbell apps,
pretty inexpensive way to, one, have a doorbell,
but two, be able to see what's going on.
Yeah.
Like, I have one.
I was watching, by the way, not to do with this story.
One of those ring doorbell apps that caught an Amazon guy coming and dropping the package off.
And what they do is they take a picture of your package on the ground to show you it was delivered.
And then after he took the picture, you picked the package up and stole it.
Oh, my gosh.
The same Amazon guy.
Oh, that's so wrong.
But the ring app caught him.
And so I was going to read this story.
A couple of New Jersey said that their doorbell system, one of those ring apps.
Because, again, you can push it as a doorbell or it's a camera.
You can watch through your phone.
It alerted them that something was going on outside.
their house so they hit the camera and they look at it
and all this is a big flame and big
smoke and so because of that
app they're able to get out
and so their house, I mean
their house kind of fire but had they not had that
little camera on their ring app they would not be able to make it
out. Wow. So I saw that. They said
their home had working smoke detectors
but they didn't even go off until they were already
outside so they had that app and that camera on their phone
to think. And again, when you think cameras and
homes, this is not a commercial by the way. I do
have one though. That you think
Oh man, that's got to be super expensive.
But the ring app's actually relative.
That's from Shark Tank, huh?
Shark Tank got rejected.
They said, no one will ever do that.
It's too expensive for a doorbell that's just dumb.
And he sold it to Amazon for $1 billion.
And he was the first person ever to go back on the show as a shark.
So someone that was rejected to go back in the shark?
Yeah, he went and sat in one of the chairs and we got to be investor in other businesses.
That's cool.
Because it's not just a doorbell.
It's also a security.
It's pretty awesome.
Yeah, well, I thought that story was good, and them using that to actually save their lives.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Mother's Day Sunday, if you're just now hearing about it, ooh.

Do you kiss your sister on the lips?
Nope.
Never have.
You kiss your dad on the lips.
Yep.
And your mom.
Yeah, my mom on the lips too.
But not your sister.
Not my sister.
Why is that?
I don't know.
It's like a tie.
You know and do that with her?
Yeah, I guess we just haven't done that yet.
We're not to that level yet.
Well, congratulations to both of you.
Thank you.
Until clutch time, then you both choked.
Yeah, there you go.
