Do you want to try something new?
Well, I know something better.
You have to play the hit puzzle game Best Fiends that's sweeping the nation.
You won't be able to put it down.

then play Best Fiends right now.
It's fun to play by yourself or with friends and family.
Believe me, you won't regret it.

That's Friends Without the R.
Best Fiends.
Lots of people are tweeting me about this one.
All right.
The Bobby Bones, post-show pre-show.
So we sit here as soon as the show ends, we turn the mics and we just kind of go at it.
There's nothing really prepared for the post-show pre-show.
I think that's kind of the beauty of it.
Sometimes it lasts 20 minutes, sometimes it lasts 30 seconds.
But I do have to go to the airport in a bit.
I was reading this story about music festivals.
They say music festivals more than concerts make as happier as people.
Oh.
Why?
I don't know.
No, yes, yes.
They're like many vacations, they say.
and they bring enjoyment to people's lives.
Since people usually have to work the next day after a concert,
they aren't able to enjoy themselves as much.
It's three hours.
You can't really let loose in three hours.
But festivals on a weekend,
you kind of go and you're able to kind of put it down a bit.
What's your experiences?
I don't like festivals that much.
It's hot.
There are too many people.
Your armpits are touching each other.
It's outside most of the time.
You know me?
I don't like the bugs.
Bathroom lines are really long.
Yeah.
So I am the minority in this.
I like a good concert.
because I'm not letting my hair down anyway.
I've been to some music festival.
I mean, I like some of the ACL.
In Austin, they have a big festival.
Austin's a good one.
Even then, I was working in radio,
so I'd get a parking pass,
and I'd get a drive up to the gate and walk in.
And even then, I'd be like, I'm so annoyed.
It's just not my thing.
And I don't like songs, I don't know, honestly.
I know some people go, I like to go check out new music in here.
If I don't know the words of the song,
most of I'm like, just play something I know.
Yeah, because that's the point of a music festival to showcase new music and discover.
Less so, though, now.
Music festivals have become a lot of, let's get a bunch of big acts just to get tickets.
You make money?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But yeah, you like a music festival, Amy, over a weekend or a concert?
I choose a concert.
Yeah, me too.
I choose a concert or like our I heart festival, like the country one is like, it's one night.
It's inside.
It's basically a concert where you're getting 10 different people.
Yeah, that's a good.
And it's quick in the stage turns.
You don't have to move.
It's amazing.
one night are I already a music festival is two nights.
Yeah.
Which, by the way, that's coming up in September.
Yeah, can't wait.
And that's a big deal.
And they do the daytime, the outdoor stage, and the raging idiots are playing.
It's Eddie and myself, our band.
We had practice yesterday, I am.
You did?
We did, because we don't play anymore.
We're not a real thing anymore.
So how did that go?
Well, we have two shows this year, and that's it.
We're playing next weekend, the raging idiots are playing Chey and Frontier Days.
We're playing with Toby Keith.
So you can imagine that crowd,
probably not the biggest raging idiots crowd.
It's a rodeo, Amy.
It's a rodeo.
And then now we're doing the IHart Festival.
But they asked us to do these shows last year
because they booked these things seven months.
They have to guess sometimes
on what artists are going to get big.
And so they guessed that we were going to be huge.
They thought by now, but then I was like,
I want to do stand-up for a year.
And they're like, ah.
But, yeah.
That was so many good.
Well, we practiced, and it was fine.
It was like an old glove.
Was it?
Oh, gosh, it felt so good.
Like, the boys are back together, and it was fun.
Yeah, except half our band's girls.
But yes.
Well, that's my man.
The gang.
The gang's back together.
The gang's back.
Yeah, we practiced, and I turned to blow my voice out because I don't know how to sing.
And then I don't know how to sing.
Well, I noticed, too, you started really softly.
You're like, oh, guys, I'm going to save my voice.
Because I was going to blow my voice.
And then three songs in.
He's back.
I wouldn't blow my voice out in the first ten minutes of every show when the band first started.
Yes, you would.
Because I wouldn't know what to do.
I just go ahead and start screaming.
Can't sing.
Can scream.
I remember our first show, one of our first shows ever,
you blew your voice out in the first song.
Yeah, Wichita.
In the car dealership.
And that was a three-hour show?
Yeah, it was Drake.
I was doing Drake.
Yeah, started from the bottom.
Started from the bottom.
I was like, start it from the bottom.
Amy, he blew his voice out, first song.
I kept in there for three hours, oh, baby.
We're going.
I got to go to the airport.
I'm going to Minneapolis.
But we will be on the air tomorrow.
Yeah, we've got to be done.
We got to go.
We did a few minutes, though.
I mean?
Yeah, he's got to go.
Amy, what do you want to say?
Probably just want everybody to have a great day.
There it is.
All right, here is today's show.
Thank you very much.
And away!
It's your buddy and my...
Mr. Bobby Bong!
Welcome to the show.
It's Thursday.
All right.
Nobody's in studio, basically.
He's in Texas.
Lunchbox is gone.
So I need everybody off to do the good morning.
Come on, guys.
Morgan number two, you're like part of the on-air part of the show.
And sometimes you check out, like in this,
Especially, you got to fill the room up.
We need you.
All right.
Everybody's had us.
I'll join.
All right.
Come on studio.
Morning!
Thank you.
There we go.
Even Quiet Mike said something.
Look at us.
Yeah.
Quiet Mike's been living with me.
Did you guys know that?
No.
What happened?
Quiet Mike, aka Mike B.
A.k.a.
Prison Mike.
Shirona.
All of his electricity went out, huh?
Yeah, because I haven't had hot water for two months,
so they have to turn off the electricity to fix it.
Is that bill problems?
Like you're not able to...
The hot water?
I'm good.
You're asking if he needed a little something?
Yeah.
So they haven't had hot water in your apartment.
Yeah.
For what reason?
There was like a gas leak, so they had to take out that entire system and put an electrical one.
Two months?
Yeah.
How'd you take showers?
I would shower at the gym or shower at your place.
Huh.
And I didn't know that.
I also found he was sleeping my bed when I...
When you weren't there?
Yeah.
That's not cool.
Really?
Really?
You allow that?
I mean, I guess he'd probably watch the sheets.
How did you watch sheets?
Yeah, it is.
He's lying, huh?
No, I didn't.
But I just, you have other beds, right?
Yeah, why would you sleep in mind if they were in the couch?
I think yours was the only one that had the cable set up at the time.
Ah, that's probably true.
He doesn't want to watch TV.
I'm shocked.
Why would you?
I don't know.
I feel like if any of us would be like, ooh, Bobby, we slept in your bed.
You'd be like, um, no.
Maybe you're right, though.
You would gag and be like, ah, why'd you do that?
Maybe you're right.
I mean, Mike D and I spent a lot of time together.
there. So I'm a guy, you know, guy had to get some sleep.
Reminds me a lot of myself when I was his age.
Gosh, I would sleep on the floor before I slept in your bed because I'd be so scared.
Well, we are here today, Thursday.
You know Blake Shulton's a new song? You heard it yet?
She's turning me on.
Turning me on.
They know what she wants.
You want to hear a cool story that I usually don't share, but I think our audience would like it.
Come on.
So I go to Blake's ranch, and I stay there for a couple of
days and he pulls out a guitar
and he has another friend and this is before the
record was out and he plays this
and I'm like, this is a really good song and goes, well it's going to be on my
record and now it's a single. That's pretty
cool. Yeah, we set up around the fire and
they played the song and then we shot guns
into the dark. We didn't know where she'd. Oh, nice. Oh yeah, there's nothing.
That's cool. You just shoot.
Ow in your house.
That's Blake's in his song.
By the way, Mike D, what's the deal? So you're staying at my house
until they get the water back? Yeah.
And that's,
about the end of the week.
Wow.
A couple days maybe.
Recognizing people doing cool things.
It's ICU.
The school teacher named Kimberly was on a flight to Florida.
A stranger sits next to her and they start talking.
So Kimberly starts talking about being a school teacher,
how there were a lot of low-income and even homeless students.
And so they keep talking and she says,
yeah, she keeps extra clothes, food and supplies in her classroom for the kids in need.
And as they were leaving the flight, the stranger said, hey, and you gave her 500 bucks and said, hey, spend this on some clothes for the kids.
That's so thoughtful.
Yeah.
And how about that person for keeping 500 bucks in cash in their wallet?
Not only they're rich, but who cares?
That kind of cash.
Nice move.
Yeah.
Maybe they were fresh off a vacation or something.
Yeah.
Maybe the flight was from Vegas.
Oh, good one.
Oh, good one.
I see you to that good Samaritan.
We don't have their name, but like that.
Over to Ray Mundo with the news now.
The Bobby Bones Show.
Big three stories.
In California at an army base, the wind from a helicopter landing caused a tent to collapse.
It injured 22 people.
Most injuries were said to be minor.
In Recall News, Ford is recalling 550,000 vehicles they can roll away unexpectedly.

They'll replace the part at no cost.
And finally, in weather news, severe weather in the Midwest, damaging winds, hail,
and in the south, lots of rain today,

It's a Bobby Bones show.
Let's go to Donna in Arkansas.
Hey, Donna.
Hi, Bobby.
What's up for you?
Oh, I love you guys.
I love you guys.
I know you can't hear me, but I love you guys.
I listen to y'all every single morning.
It's the first thing I do is tell Echo to turn on
Tuesday 96 every morning.
Thank you very much.
Where do you love in Arkansas?
I live in Gillette, Arkansas.
It's really south Arkansas,
all down by Mississippi, Louisiana, down towards that corner.
You have to tell me.
Like, I'm from Arkansas.
I know all of Arkansas.
I played ball in all the corners.
I go to all the corners.
Well, I appreciate you listening.
Thanks for calling so early.
What are you doing today?
We're having an employee appreciation fish fry on Friday for all of our employees.
So today I'm trying to wrap up all of the planning and get all the door prizes.
It's a lot.
What's a big prize?
What's a big prize?
Let's see.
We have a 43-inch.
Smart TV.
Come on.
How do you win that?
Cakewalk?
No, that's going to be for our 10-year employees,
so we'll draw names from our 16 people
that have been here for more than 10 years.
Oh, that's cool.
And you're ahead of that, huh?
Yes, I'm the safety lady,
and so the safety lady tries to make sure of it
when everybody is safe, you know,
they get rewarded for that kind of stuff.
That's cool.
Well, let me say that as a show,
we all really appreciate you listening.
And the fact that you know that Amy can't hear you
means you are such a hardcore listener
because Amy can't hear you.
We've mentioned that a couple times,
but only a couple times.
Amy's in the studio in Texas,
and so she can't hear her phone calls
or equipment's old.
But do you know that?
That makes me feel good,
so I appreciate that.
Make sure she knows
I'm praying for her daddy though.
He's going to get better.
I know he is.
Amy, she says she's praying for your dad
and she knows that he's going to get better.
Thank you so much.
She said thank you.
I'm a translator now, basically.
Yeah, hey, thank you for the call.
Have a good day, Donna.
You too.
You all have a great day.
All right, Eddie.
You'll have a good day.
There you go.
Hi.
Hi, Donna.
Look at that.
That's nice, huh?
Yeah.
I love that cake walk.
I mean, I don't know what she said, but yeah.
Yeah, oh yeah, that's right.
Amy doesn't know what she said.
Listen, I know it's early in the morning.
We appreciate when you guys call.
To pick up your phone and call the radio show is crazy.
So we appreciate you being crazy because we feel like we're crazy.
So that whole thing kind of works out there.
A lot of people are cutting the cord, as they say, the cable cord.
Like 5 million people said, hey, no more cable for me.
People are going toward Netflix and Amazon Prime and Hulu.
and Morgan number two
are a 24 year old that runs all of our digital
social media. You said your cable bill
is 90 bucks higher? Yeah, it went
up just because like a contract went up
and they didn't have any other promotions for me.
So what are you going to do?
I may stop using cable.
For me, cable is only good
for live things. Correct.
Sports is a big thing that I watch
live. The Grammys.
But really?
I watch more friends on TBS
and King and Queens on Nick at Night than I do anything
else and I can watch that on Netflix.
So especially, is that a big part of your budget, the cable bill?
Yeah, I mean, $190 for cable and Wi-Fi is ridiculous.
So.
That's what they get you, man.
Yeah, that stinks.
So do you and your boyfriend, no, he's not in with you yet, huh?
Not yet, but soon.
We would be splitting, but that's still $80 a piece and that's a lot.
Is he moving into your place?
Yes.
And does, do all the bills go right in half?
Yes.
Did you guys have the conversation?
Yeah, we have.
How old is he?
He's my age 24.
Is he financially stable?
Yes.
As stable as you?
Yeah.
We both have our own savings, our own everything.
So it'll just kind of be like living with somebody, but we're together.
Do you each have a different room?
No.
No?
Just ask you.
Wow.
Just tell your parents that?
Yes, my parents know that.
Did he go back to Wichita with you?
Yeah, he did.
Do you guys stay in the same room?
Maybe.
I mean, yes or no?
Yeah.
I mean, your parents' house, they would already know.
Or do you be hiding it from?
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
Is that a weird thing to have happen?
I mean, no.
It is kind of weird, obviously, because, like, you know, people have different views.
We're not married.
But my parents are okay with it.
They trust us, and we're serious.
They trust you.
Trust you with what?
Yeah, what are you stealing?
You robbing banks at night or what?
Trusting you with.
Not to steal the car?
That's pretty funny, Morgan.
They trust us.
It's like you're stealing.
studying in ninth grade.
It's okay, they trust this.
They trust us.
Yeah, you're an adult.
I know.
Well, hey, listen.

It's time for the good news.
Tell me something good.
Right, Morgan number two is filling in on Tell Me Something Good.
So what do you have, Morgan number two?
A girl called her boyfriend because she thought somebody
was breaking into her house after hearing glass break.
And when he sped over there, he found out there was a fire.
So he jumped out of his car, went in, and saved his girlfriend and her dog and also her 85-year-old grandma who's trapped inside the house.
Oh, he gets to pick the movies forever, right?
Yeah, for sure.
When he saved her and dinner.
The dog.
And then me, Mom!
Wow.
All the Bruce Willis.
Yes.
Anything he wants.
Wow.
Look at that guy.
I bet he carried him out too in his arms.
All together at once.
Oh, wow.
Oh, look at this.
Is any of that true?
Or we just make all that up, you think?
Yeah, I think you guys made it up.
But he did save him, so.
Yeah, that's a good story.
Lobby Bone Show.
Bonehead.
Story up the day.
This one comes to you from Bonita Springs, Florida.
A sailor was eating at a restaurant when they got his order wrong on his grilled chicken.
So what does he do?
He gets upset.
He goes to his truck.
He grabbed himself an anchor.
He goes back in the restaurant.
He actually had an anchor in his truck.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a sailor.
So he runs back in the restaurant.
Swings it kind of like that medieval.
mace around his head.
Wow.
And he's like, you all messed up my grilled chicken order.
Wow.
Yeah.
And so they called the cops.
Cops came and they arrested him.
Charged him with disorderly intoxication.
And a couple days, he has to take classes for anchor management.
Okay.
It's funny, right?
So there's drinking involved.
Yeah, but you get it, Amy?
Anchor management.
Did you write that?
No, that's part of the story.
Yeah.
So you are being at lunchbox.
Yeah, just try a little bit.
That's funny, though.
He goes in and he swings an anchor around over his head.
I picture like one of those knights, you know, with the balls of the spikes on it.
What did you call that a mace?
Yeah, I wouldn't know what that was the name of that.
That's called a mace.
There's your bonehead, nice.
It's crushing candy, getting boring, and you want to try something new.

Atlantic America.
I love it when you guys call.
Hey, Jenna in North Carolina.
Hello, Jenna.
Hi.
What's happening?
You good?
Call and say that I, I'm the first-time caller.
I love you guys.
I make my morning. I have an hour commute to work.
I had a tire blowout. I had to get all new tires. My boyfriend's truck got a repose.
So this week has been horrible. But when I get in my car and drive to work every morning,
you guys, you guys just changed my life.
Oh, wow, change your life. Wow. That's nice.
You do. You do. It's like something just clicks, and I just forget everything else.
I forget how copy my week's going and I listen to you guys and I commute to work and it's like,
this is my time where I can just forget everything.
Well, thank you very much.
I appreciate that.
Hey, can I send her an autograph book, Ramundo?
Do we have some back there?
Hey, I'm going to send you an autograph book, Jenna.
Would you like that?
Awesome. Yes, I love that.
I've been wanting it.
Well, then let me put you on hold.
Ramundo will get your information.
I'll sign up for you.
Thank you for listening and thanks for calling.
Thank you guys so much.
Yeah, how about that?
Hey, you know what I'm doing, Amy, in the morning is I drive to work and I have a Jeep and I have all the top off.
The top off, the door's off.
Like, I can basically reach my hand down and give the road to high fives as I'm driving.
Yeah.
I like that, driving in like that.
It wakes me up.
It makes me feel, it puts me in a positive mood.
Like, that's been my thing lately.
Like, I'm out.
I'm driving the Jeep.
Yeah.
It's like, yeah.
It's just like I stay outside.
Like I smile people.
I get that.
There's no barrier between my car and the, yeah, yeah.
I'm naked.
Okay.
I'm not that.
Where are you?
No, no, no, no, no.
That's been the thing that I've been doing that's kind of pet me up a bit.
So I like that.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
Amy, if your doctor walked in the room and he was covered in tattoos, what do you think?
Oh, I'm fine with it.
Yeah, me too, right?
Yeah.
Oh, you don't, Eddie.
Questionable.
You don't think that you'd be fine with it.
Not that I'm judging him.
I just don't, I don't think I've ever had a doctor with tattoos.
So now I just kind of want all my doctors to not have tattoos for the rest of my life.
Hey, doctor walks in.
Mr. MD.
and he's covered in tattoos like sleeves
Does he have a neck tattoo?
Ooh, that's a different ballgame
I know
That neck and face tattoo
But he just has sleeve
Just sleeves
Still weird
That's tough, huh?
Yeah, it's tough
So most people would let their health care
provider still treat them
If they had visible tattoos
The US study found
There were no differences
In perception of patient care
By patients who were treated
By physicians with visible body art
Yes, Amy
Well, I mean, I'm trying to think of doctors
And I've been around a lot of doctors lately
I really don't see physicians with tattoos
Correct. I would say you don't see them now because most doctors are older. They had to go to a lot of school.
And then by the time they're a doctor doctor, they're in their late 30s, early 40s.
Well, we're getting to that age where doctors are pretty young and they walk in and I'm like, are you sure you know what you're talking about?
Young man.
Yeah, I'm older than you.
One of my dad's doctors is definitely just a hippie.
And it was just fine. But you can tell he's way more chill and
relaxed than the other doctors who are a little more buttoned up.
And he doesn't have any tattoos, at least, that I know of.
But I will say, I appreciate his chill laid-back attitude.
But sometimes I'm like, hmm.
Does he really know what he's doing?
He's always diagnosing with love.
Love, man.
Take two pieces of love and call me in the morning.
It's all good.
Hey, time for never going to get it.
According to a new survey, this is the number one sign.
that you trust someone.
They've told 10,000 people.

Like keep your pet.
Okay.
For the number one thing.
Eddie, I'm going to let you be the spoiler here.

Oh.
No, so you're all wrong, but I'm right.
I don't even trust my kids then.
No, why would you give them your phone passcode?
Well, one of them knows it, but the other one doesn't.
Oh, well, listen, you got the phone pass code.
You have access to all the stuff.
Everything.
Email.
Twitter.
Yeah, all my DMs.
I've been sliding in all those people's DMs.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, well, well, here we are.
And listen to this call here because Kelly's on.
Kelly, have we ever spoken before?
No, we haven't.
It's very exciting for me to speak to you for the first.
first time. Let me say that. Now,
everyone's how to Kelly. Hi, Kelly. Kelly, what would you like to say?
I want to say, I think you're really great. We listen to you every day.
Thank you. And I wanted to say my sister just had a baby, and she named him Bobby after
you. Yeah. Wow. Her sister named her baby Bobby after me. How about that, Amy? How? What do you think
about that, Amy? That's amazing. That's a lot of pressure for me, though, right? I mean,
be real, Kelly. Like, now I have to remain a good person. Oh, no, you're awesome. You're awesome.
I just think you are and she couldn't think of a better name.
One, they don't name kids Bobby anymore.
I feel like I have an old person name at this point because I never meet a new Bobby.
I'm trying to repopulate some Bobby's on the earth.
That's the only reason I believe her.
It's because no one names their kid Bobby anymore.
So that has to be me.
For sure.
The only Bobby I know.
It is an honor but older than me, Bobby Flay.
Yeah.
Bobby McFerrin.
That's true.
Don't worry to be older.
So, Kelly, let me say this.
I appreciate that.
and you guys listening, I don't deserve the honor of being the namesake of your nephew, right, nephew?
Yes.
Yeah.
We think you do.
Well, I will gladly accept it and I will try to lead by example my life.
I would like to send her a signed book.
Is that okay?
The least I can do.
Great.
I'll make it out to little Bobby and her.
Okay.
Well, I feel pressure too because if you're new to the show, my name's Bobby.
I come from a small town of 700 people called Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
It was a mill town.
The mill does not exist anymore.
So the town struggles, even to this day.
And I'm very proud of my town.
I try to help it as much as I can.
My town's proud of me.
And there's a sign when you drive into my hometown of Mountain Pine, Arkansas.
It says, welcome to the boyhood home of Bobby Bones.
Which I didn't know was even going to be put up, to be honest with you.
I do a scholarship in my high school where I give a senior a scholarship every year.
And when I went in to give the scholarship one year, that sign was up there.
Amy was with me whenever we drove out there, right?
Yeah.
And I was like, oh, my goodness.
It was awesome.
It was awesome.
But I feel a pressure now to remain a good person because of that sign.
Sometimes I just want to be a bad person.
You know?
Do you feel me, A.
Sometimes you just want to be a bad person.
I mean, I don't have a sign after me.
That's true.
So I got to be a good person, always.
I don't have that pressure.
I don't know if anybody's named their baby after me either.
That's what we can be bad, Amy.
Yeah, now you guys can be bad new characters.
They'll be like, they'll just living their life.
Me, I be bad their life.
What about that sign?
I'm like, oh, no.
What about that sign?
Hey, Kelly, would you please stay on the phone?
What is your sister's name?
Kimberly.
Okay, Kimberly and Bobby.
I'm going to sign them a book, and I appreciate you.
Shout out to them.
Man.
What about the daddy?
Baby daddy.
Yeah, they come and go.
Okay.
Sometimes they do.
Easy come, easy go.
Baby daddy go.
Gene in North Carolina. Hey Gene, where are you at, North Carolina?

Oh, man, I appreciate that. Yeah, we're new to the station, though.
You want to give a shout out to the radio station?
Yeah, WR&S 95.51.
There you go. I appreciate that. Here's what we're about, in case you never heard the show before.

I talked about this before
but yeah these are all my friends
and so we've kind of made this thing work
and we don't really sound like radio people
We try, and we have tried.
And we're all about spread and joy.
You may hear us use the term pimping joy.
That's our little term that means a lot to us
that nobody else uses.
And we love the military and first responders.
We love country music and we love all kinds of music.
What else do we love, Amy?
Help me out here.
We got a lot of new people listening here.
Oh, we love dogs.
Puppies.
Yeah, we love big time, big time dog guys and girls.
Big time dog people.
I really love Haiti because that's where my kids are from.
Amy, yes, that's true.
Let me mention that.
Amy has adopted two children from Haiti and we're very involved in orphanage out there.
That's where Amy got her kids from.
Eddie, what are you involved?
We love kids.
I have two kids.
Amy has two kids.
The lunchbox has one kid.
Everybody's got kids.

You all have a great day
All right see you bud
That's a good one
Hey I want to play this for you
So I love gender reveals
Because that's like watching the people's faces
That don't think they're the main person on the camera
And sometimes they're disappointed
You've been laughing I don't know what you're laughing at
Okay so there's this gender reveal
and what they're doing is they're shooting fireworks.
And so there's a fireworks display
and the YouTube video, they're setting it up
and they're supposed to shoot off the fireworks
and the color is supposed to come out of the fireworks.
Okay.
Well, all the sudden...
Okay, ready? Say, Daddy, can you help me?
Help me.
Okay.
They start shooting off.
The fireworks turn on its side
and start shooting toward people.
Oh, no.
And all of a sudden, you see the crowd scattering
going, oh my!
And they're jumping and diving out of the way.
Yeah, it's a whole thing.
So what color were the fireworks?
I don't know
Because I started laughing so hard
That I don't know
Yeah
And then it starts shooting everyone
What?
Everyone's okay right?
Yes
It says a few adults got hit
Just minor burns
But I'm talking about
People start diving and running away
It's a good
Some of those screams are pretty intense
Yeah
It's turning.
It's turning over right now.
I didn't see this video.
Bobbybones.com.
Morgan number two, we put that up.
Bobbybones.com will put that video up.
You will laugh, and then you'll tell your friends about it,
and you'll watch it again and laugh again.
And it's a girl.
It's a girl.
Ah, get out!
I retweeted this yesterday.
This guy in Florida goes to eat some oysters.
And two days later, because the oysters were contaminated with a flesh-eating bacteria,
he died.
Whoa.
What?
Yeah.
Because I was reading this too, and I was, chk-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.
The 71-year-old dude died after consuming flesh-eating bacteria in Florida.
They confirmed this yesterday.
The Florida resident consumed the oyster, tainted with vibrovolnificus at a restaurant on June 8th.
Two days later, he died of a gastro-intestinal illness.
Man.
I post this and was like, holy cow.
And then people are like, that's why I never eat oysters.
Well, first of all, that's like getting him.
buy a car and they're going, that's why I never drive a car, if I never walk on the street.
It's a rare thing.
They do warn us.
But they, yeah, they also warn you don't cross street.
Correct.
You're right.
You're right.
But I was reading the story and I start to get messages going, that's why you don't eat golf
oysters in months.
They don't have an R in it.
Yeah.
I'd never heard that before.
Yeah.
That's out of season.
Okay.
January has an R.
February has an R.
March has an R.
Yeah.
April has an R.
Yes.
May, June, July, August.
Summer.
Those are the four months you don't eat?
August, September, October.
Okay.
Because that's not the harvest season.
That's the thing.
Wow, sorry to hear about that.
I just learned something. I mean, I didn't know.
That guy died from eating that oyster.
That's sad.
I don't eat them.
Oh, they're so good, Amy.
If I did.
Yeah, I like oysters.
I did too.
I went up to, I was in Boston this last weekend.
And I was like, I didn't give me some seafood.
So I go over to this local place called Red Lobster.
Excuse me?
Oh, Red Lobster.
Oh, yeah.
I love that place.
Amy, you got it.
I was really like, oh, what kind of a five-star restaurant was this?
No, I went to, what was it called, legal seafood?
Yeah, and I don't know how, I don't know if that's a chain or not, but it's pretty good.
Was it?
Yeah.
Did you get oysters?
I did, and that the oysters were pretty good, but I love a lobster bisque.
Of all the bisks, that's my favorite bisque.
And you know what?
I don't even know what makes a bisque a bisque or a soup of soup.
But if you can call anything abisks, and I'll be like, I should run.
fancy today, I'll take the bisque.
Yeah.
And so, yeah, it's good.
I like that.
I don't even know if Boston can hear us right now.
I never know who's listening.
But I love it up there.
Except for the winters.
Oh, it's really cold in the winter.
It's so cold.
But it's such a cool city, isn't it?
It's such a cool city.
Yeah, I do love it up there.
I now know what makes a bisque.
Go ahead.
I'm curious.
It's a rich, creamy soup typically made with shellfish, especially lobster.
Okay, huh?
There's that.
Hey, you know what I talk about in a second is, if anyone
has, this guy lost 130 pounds.
He got a new job.
It didn't mean to lose 130 pounds.
But his job that he was doing helped him lose a bunch of weight.
All of a sudden he's like, holy cow, I'm losing all this weight.
Whoa.
So if anyone else ever stumbled into a job and all the sudden you're doing it,
and you're like, I'm down 25 pounds from just doing the work.
Because this story is pretty remarkable that I'll talk about in a second.
Also, Lunchbox comes up in the next 10 minutes or so.
Eddie, did you talk to him yesterday at all?
I barely texts.
I got two texts from him.
I haven't talked to him.
because I don't know where he's at.
Yeah.
Is he still at the hospital?
Well, that's how, that was one text because he was still at the hospital and I wanted to send him some cookies, him and his wife, and so I needed to know what hospital they were in.
But you haven't been up there?
No, I've not seen the baby.
I've not really.
I haven't even talked to him on the phone.
Yeah, he's kind of gone M-I-A.
Yes.
He may be a little overwhelmed by the whole thing at this point.
I think so.
I think he's still tired.
Hey, dude.
Because the one text he did say that he's coming off the Vegas Bender and then 24 hours out of baby.
It's been a long one.
That's true.
Well, so we'll talk to Lunchbox in the next 10 minutes and get an update on that baby's name.
Amy is still out of studio.
She's here, but she's sitting in a studio in Texas.
Good morning, Amy.
Morning.
And so filling in on the Skinny is Morgan No. 2, who's our head of digital and all of our social media.
Okay, Morgan number 2.
The latest from Nashville in Hollywood.
Amy's 32nd Skinny.
Scotty McCreary and his family are the latest to go on.
Celebrity Family Feud, you can catch his episode on August 5th.
Oh, yeah.
That'd be a fun one to go on.
The Celebrity Family Feud, any family feud.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Is his new wife going to be on there?
I would bet so.
All right, what else you got?
Congratulations are in order for Steve Mokler and his wife, Gracie.
They're expecting their first child.
You know, I would say that we could be partly responsible for that.
What?
It's no coincidence.
He was on the show Friday, and all of a sudden, now they're having a baby.
Oh, just like that.
I don't know.
She's been pregnant for a while.
Oh.
Steve Mocler.
I really enjoyed that interview.
I enjoyed his performance.
Yeah, look up that guy's music.
I like him.
Steve Mocler.
What else?
Cole Swindell announced a small headlining tour
going to six cities to go along with his new album
release on August 17th.
He announced a cities.
Do we know yet?
Yeah, he did.
And there's a few, but they're kind of all over the place.
That's the thing about cities.
They're all over the way.
They're spread out.
I just wish they were all together and I could do all six of them.
They're all over the country.
It's really weird.
It's a weird thing.
Morgan number two is that is?
Yeah, that's it.
I'm Morgan number two and that's the skinny.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
Hey, I want to talk about this guy.
So all of a sudden he starts this job.
And his name is Ty Story.
They say it was just the average guy.
Oh.
Who would say that?
It's an average dude.
Okay.
But his weight had ballooned up to 3133.
pounds. So he took a warehouse job. He had to be on his feet all day. He lost 130 pounds.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. He didn't take the job to lose the weight. He just lost the weight. And he
started noticing it was coming off. In six months, he was down 50 pounds. After a full year,
because of this job, he lost 130 pounds. Isn't that crazy? So I say, you know, what did you do?
You accidentally lost the weight? We're like, this is actually good for me. Hey, Glenda and Kentucky,
how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm really good. Thank you for you.
calling, would you like to add to the story?
Yes. When I first started my job I'm at now, which I'm going on five years, but the first
six weeks, I lost 20 to 25 pounds.
Wow, in the first six weeks.
Yeah.
Why? What was happening?
Well, I had primarily always worked retail, and then I went into a manufacturing job, and it is
so, so hot in there, and a lot of busy work, so a lot of running back and forth and
and that kind of stuff.
25, that's good.
Hey, I appreciate their call.
Hey, Melissa in Tennessee.
Hey, yeah, it was actually my husband.
He worked at a feed store, so he was moving bags of feed and, like, hay bales all day,
and he lost, we didn't keep track, but probably, I mean, at least 50 pounds.
Now, as the wife and your husband starts to lose 50 pounds, are you kind of like,
hey, baby?
Well, I was actually kind of in reverse, so we, like look back at pictures from when he worked
there, we're like, man, you might need to go work back at the feed store.
Oh, come on.
Come on.
And Melissa, how long have you been married?
Six years.
Okay.
So it's still kind of fresh, huh?
Yeah.
You got any kids?
Yeah, we got two.
How's that working out?
You like them or no?
Yeah, I love them.
We got our little girl.
She's just born last October, so.
That's cool.
Well, hey, tell your husband.
I say hello, and thank you for calling today.
Yeah, thank you.
All right.
See, Melissa.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
This kid Kobe grew up, knowing his dad's dream car,
was a blue-green 1966 vintage Ford Mustang.
And it took a little searching, but he finally found that car online.
He and his brother decided to get the car and surprise his dad in a special way
because they saved up for two years.
The brother staged the car with a for-sale sign on the side of the road,
and they drove past it.
They were like, hey, look at that car.
And they even got someone to pretend to be the owner.
So they were like, Dad, look at that car.
That's the one you lie.
You should. And then they go, and so the brothers convinced their dad to stop.
Look at the car.
And they tried to get him to take a test drive in the car.
And he was like, no, no, no.
And they were like, well, since you're not going to take the test drive, you just get the car.
They gave him the keys.
He was shocked.
And then he drove off in the Mustang of his dreams.
All thanks to his sons for saving up.
Dude, that is awesome.
Right?
That's such a great story.
I love that.
That's awesome.
That's Tell Me Something Good right there.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Folks, it's your buddy and my...
Mr. Bobby Bones.
We will get to Amy's morning corny momentarily.
Amy, remind me if I forget, okay?
Okay.
Because lunchbox is on the phone, and we can't leave the big stars.
No, we gotta get to him.
You know what I mean?
Lunchbox?
That's what I'm talking about.
I'm like, all right, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Look at this guy.
Yesterday he announces he's having a baby boy.
He had a baby boy.
Yes.
Yeah. Where are you now, by the way?
I'm in the hospital.
laying on the couch, I mean, just living up the life.
Did you lay in the bed, like sleep in the bed at your house or in the hospital last night?
No, in the hospital.
You haven't been home?
No, I went home and took a shower because I hadn't taken the shower in a couple days.
And, yeah, so I came back and we're here.
I couldn't leave my wife here by herself.
Who is this guy?
I know.
He's changed already.
I mean, he goes to Vegas and goes,
extremely hard for two days.
So are you still a little bit coming off
the Vegas tired and you're
now in the baby tired?
Oh yeah, it was just
it was perfect timing.
Let me tell you, I had no sleep in Vegas.
I was like, I'll have a, you know, I was going to catch up,
you know, we got plenty of time.
Oh boy, no, I was still catching up on Vegas sleep,
but this is pretty tiring also.
Which is more tiring?
Vegas or having a baby?
Well, I would say
Vegas for me right now.
Yeah, why is that?
Well, just because, I mean, if we're being honest, I mean, since he's in the NICU, I don't, like, I don't wake up and we don't have to feed him.
We don't, we just kind of, you know, we don't have much to do right now.
I mean, my wife does.
She still has to pump and all this and get all that going.
So she has to wake up every few hours.
But yours truly, he kind of just, you know, sleep.
And that's you
Yeah, man, let me tell you
During labor at one point
My wife was talking to me
I fell asleep
During labor you fell asleep
During her labor, you took a nap
I didn't mean to
She was talking to me, talking to me
And she goes, are you sleeping?
No, no, I'm awake, sorry
So I woke back up
But yeah, I kind of fell asleep there for a minute
But it wasn't during the important part
The baby wasn't coming out yet
Yeah, of course
Hey, so what's the deal with
as the labor was happening, as the baby was being born,
did she find that pretty painful, or she'd take it like a champ,
or I don't know what happens.
Like, I don't even know if taking like a champ's a thing.
Well, it was very painful for a while,
and then she decided that she needed the epidural,
so she took the epidural, and then it was pretty much, like,
couldn't feel anything, so it was great.
How's she right now?
She's great.
She's sleeping right now,
and she's doing great.
She's doing amazing.
She's, you know, hurting a little bit, taking a little pain meds.
But besides that, she's good.
She's just, she's a champ.
I mean, well, this is like the best parents in the world right now.
Wow, you guys are the best parents in the world?
That's awesome.
So far, yeah, people have been saying, like, man, you got me pretty good parents.
Let me tell you.
Lunchbox is on the phone from the hospital.
He had his baby on the 17th, two days ago.
And we found out that it was a boy yesterday.
And today we're trying to find out what that baby's name.
Name is.
Yeah.
Because you went through a bunch of them.
You went to a bunch of names.
And you couldn't settle on anything with your wife where it was like, this is the name.
So the baby's two days old.
I'm going to give you a drum roll here.
So lunchbox is on the phone now to reveal the baby's name.
Lunchbox, take it away.
Whatever you want to say, my friend.
Man, I mean, kid was here six weeks early.
So we've been working on a couple names.
And then the baby arrives.
I'm like, oh my gosh, it's the boy.
So then we got to start going over some boy name.
And so on the birth certificate that we filled out, we named the boy still not filled out.
We don't have a name yet.
We are still working boys and girls.
Oh, wow.
He is two days old and he doesn't have a name.
So it's a little weird.
So we call him baby.
I've been calling him early because he was six weeks early because my wife is very
thorough and she's writing them down to see how they look written out and we're practiced
saying them because we had this whole thing where we were going to start talking to the
her belly and like saying name and see how much the baby moved and that would be the name
well now that it's here we're going to have to do that we go down there we call him a name and
see if he moves if he doesn't move okay that name's out is that really a good reason to base your
baby's name on that like the baby moves
I mean, I've never heard of that.
A lot of people said that they knew that that was the name because whenever it was in the belly and they would say that name, they would start moving around in the belly.
Like, yep, I like that name.
Here is a story I read called How to Pick the Right Name for Your Baby.
Okay.
Number one, check what the name translates to.
Now, you may love the name Pete in English, but look up what it means in Argentina.
You'll find out it came in like butt or something.
So when you have a name, see if...
Number two, find out how popular it is.
Being trendy is fine, but did you really want your daughter to be one of 50, 11?
Olivia is in our kindergarten class.
Oh, man.
Exactly.
Make sure it doesn't rhyme with anything awful.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like, you wouldn't want to name them genus.
Right, no, no, no, because that rhymes with.
Yeah.
You know, you don't want to name him a little Frodom.
No, no, no, no, because that too rhymes with.
Yeah.
So no rhyming lunchbox, okay?
Okay, no rhyming.
We got that.
We got that down.
Yeah, like you don't want, hey, little rut hole, come here.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
It rhymes.
With.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Google the full name because what happens is,
what if you Google the name and it's a name of like a serial killer from the 1900s?
Oh, right.
Yeah.
Oh, geez.
And also, it says sing happy birthday and insert the name
because it could be difficult if it's like a crazy sounding name.
You know, like, happy birthday little rut hole.
That doesn't sound right.
Yeah.
It's too many.
So.
Back with the drawing board.
Yeah.
Well, just some tips I wanted to pass along to you lunchbox.
Okay, well, I'm going to have to start seeing
Happy Birthday and inserting these names
because the people, the birth certificate people,
they came by yesterday, like, oh, here, we'll drop this off
and we'll be back in about 30 minutes, and they come back, right?
Oh, we're not, we don't have one yet.
And they're like, all right, we'll come back tomorrow afternoon.
They came back yesterday at the afternoon.
Still don't have it, so they're supposed to come back to Mike.
So what's the goal?
Like, when do you have to pick the name?
Well, I mean, as soon as possible.
I mean, the kid has been here.
me the name so we can start calling him something.
And I think to leave the hospital, eventually he has to have a name.
I believe that's true.
I don't think you can leave without a name, but I don't know.
And because people keep texting, hey, what's the kid's name?
What can we call him?
I'm like, I don't know.
Yeah, this is weird.
Can we tell?
There's a lot of pressure.
Well, yeah, it says I named her the whole life.
The rest of his life, man.
It's true.
It's a lot of pressure.
Hey, can we?
I get my wife to name in Vegas, but she said no.
Oh, boy.
That's kind of cool.
Vegas?
Yeah.
I like that.
Vegas Axel.
I approve of lunchbox.
No, I don't approve about Vegas.
Not as a name.
As a place, as a city, I love it.
As a city, it's the best.
It's the best.
Okay, well, I guess we'll find out more about it later.
Hey, can you give us the update tomorrow on the baby's height and weight when it came out?
Oh, yeah.
We got the stats.
Let me tell you, you'll find out tomorrow.
There is.
There is.
All right, buddy.
Have a good rest of day.
We're thinking about you.
Good luck to Little Vegas.
Hey, a little Vegas. See, you like that, don't you? Sounds pretty good.
You can nickname him Vegas. I think that's fine.
Oh.
You know?
Not birth certificate?
I don't know about that.
Vegas?
You know, Viva?
Yes. What I'm talking about?
All right. Let's see you later, buddy.
All right, bye.
There is. Lunchbox at the hospital.
Once the wildest man on the show, now a dad.
Oh, man.
He fell asleep during his wife's labor.
As she's having the baby, he fell asleep and took a nap.
All right, now time for the morning corner, which we usually
do at the top of the hour, but
A morning corny.
What do you call a group of baby soldiers?
What do you call a group of baby soldiers?
An infantry.
An infantry.
That's good.
Yeah.
That was the morning corny.
Yeah.
That's good, eh?
Lunchbox comes on the air where that's a second ago and says,
hey, listen, I still haven't named my baby.
I know I had it two days ago, but we don't have a name.
And every day they come to them and go,
So here's the paper.
Please fill it out and write the name down.
I don't have a name.
So we're talking about that.
And first, Chris in North Carolina is on.
Hey, Chris.
Thanks for calling the show.
What do you want to say?
My name's Chris.
I work actually at Naval Medical Center, Camp Lejeune, as a birth registrar.
And I wanted to say that he actually has 10 days from the date of the birth in North Carolina.
So I'm assuming it's the same across the state to actually come up with a name.
So let me ask you this, Chris.
What if after 10 days he doesn't have a name?
Then what's the baby named?
If there's a rule.
So if they don't have a baby name,
we've had this happen before,
we'll actually release the baby name as baby boy
and then last name, whatever it is.
That would kind of be a cool name, though, baby boy.
I agree.
Also, what if you just played a game?
If I were governor of Arkansas, the role would be,
if you can't name the baby in 10 days,
you just turn on the TV,
and the first name that said ends up being the name of your baby.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it's like TV roulette.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah.
So you don't know what channel it is
You take it, you turn it on
And all of a sudden, boop
Your baby's name is Lou Dobbs
Don't tell you all I was going to say
Don't turn it on the news
Let me talk about some criminal
Oh great
Your baby's name is Vladimir
Oh man
That's funny about
Hey thank you for the call
I appreciate that
Courtney and Virginia
How are you? You good?
Hi, I'm great
I'm a first time caller
I'm so excited to be talking
Hey where do you live in Virginia
I am in Newport News.
I love it over there. I used to summer there.
Really?
Yeah, right.
What do you want to say about this?
So I had three names picked out for our first daughter, and my husband and I couldn't
decide.
We were in the hospital.
The same thing was happening where they kept coming for the name.
And ultimately, we did exactly what Lunchbox said, and we kept saying the names over and
over again, and she would only respond.
She would gurgle or move to just one of the names.
name. So she ultimately named herself.
And what was that name? It's Riley.
Pretty cool name.
Well, thank you. Yeah. Can't hate
on that. Well, I appreciate that feedback. Thanks for the call and thanks for listening.
Absolutely. And I'm looking forward to meeting you in December when you come into your comedy tour.
And I'm looking forward to meeting you. Eddie, what was I just saying?
What? I was looking forward to meeting the court. You were just a second ago.
Yep.
All right. Bye, Gordon.
I was going to move off the baby stuff, but this call is so interesting.
Hey, Joyce and Kentucky.
Yes.
Okay, tell me your story.
About 10 years ago, at age about 55, I remarried.
And when I sent in to get my name changed, I realized I had never been named in the first place.
So you go to get your name change because of your marriage, and there's no name.
You've never been named?
Right.
What was your name on the birth certificate?
My life's name was Clark.
I was put as unknown.
Clark, unnamed Clark.
And when I talked to my mother about it, she said,
I guess I forgot to do it.
I was one of 12 kids. I guess
you just forgot. Well, unnamed, let me say
I'm glad you called and shared that story with us.
That's crazy.
It was kind of sad and funny at the same thing.
It's like, okay, I've never existed.
But I got a call from the State of Tennessee
and trying to change my name, and they said, well, you're still
unnamed. So I had to send all this stuff in.
My mother had to sign affidavits. I had to send in verse
certificates of my kids. I had to do all this stuff to, I guess, prove I existed, but I was never named.
That's wild. Well, thank you for the car. I appreciate that. Thank you. That's a good story.
You know, she finds out, now mine doesn't have to do as being named anything different, but
I found out I was adopted accidentally. That's crazy too. You know, all of a sudden, I find a,
I've told you the story, right name? I found a social security card. Yeah, I know. It's crazy.
My name was different. And I go, hey, grandma, what's up with my name being different? My, that's not
my last name. And they told me when my mom left when I was a kid that my grandma adopted me
and I was adopted for a long time. And then basically my mom came back. And I can vivid,
not vividly, I barely remember that happening. Like I remember a mom going away. And then I remember
a year later my mom coming back. But it was, it wasn't a thing. I was a kid. And there was never
any structure where I grew up. People just came and went all the time. And so as a kid,
I'm going, this is just normal. Like people come and go. You know, my real dad left. My mom left.
and then I find that
I think I was in my teens
or something when I found that card
and I was going
Huh
What's up with what a mis?
What a typo?
A typo on this card
She was like, no, you're adopted
So yeah, crazy
Here's this on a lighter note
A guy in Memphis
stole his dates car on Saturday night
Okay, so
You know, they're out
She goes out with this guy named
Kelton Griffin
She knew from back in high school
He texted her out of the blue and said, hey, you want to go out?
She said, yeah, she does.
So he showed up without a car to their date, but she had a car of Volvo.
When she stopped for gas, he asked if she'd go inside, and she did, and when she did, to get him, I think he wanted a cigar.
And then he just stole the car.
He drove off and stole the car.
All right, all right.
Yeah.
That's messed up.
You go on date and steal the girl's car.
Not cool.
Yeah, so, and that's the worst date.
But it gets even worse because then he took that car, and when he's, you know, he took that car, and when he's,
to pick up another girl and went on another date.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Yep, yep, yep.
They used the GPS to track the car.
They went to a drive-in movie theater where him and the other girl were.
Yeah.
So, you want to hear like the final kicker?
Oh, there's another one?
He made the second date pay for tickets to the drive-in movie.
Get out.
Yeah.
What a loser.
Man, what's he thinking?
I'll tell you this.
He's winning and being a loser, though.
Like, he's such a loser.
He figured out all the things.
And he planned all that.
You know he did.
Wow, that's like third level.
Man.
Yeah, I thought that was pretty interesting this morning.
I was talking to new artist Cassie Ashton.
I mean, she's really special.
Like, this is an artist.
I did a bobbycats with her talking about how she got a record deal.
I just wanted to know how you got a record deal.
And she talked about it, but she's so good.
She used to, though, work at a karaoke bar as a karaoke DJ.
I worked at a karaoke bar at the time.
Really?
I would put in, like, everyone's record.
quests and then I would sing once an hour.
I bet you would kill it though, right?
Like people were like, oh my God.
Oh, it was fun.
Even the karaoke singers are good in this town, right?
Because you just like, the best part about doing that job is you just actually make fun
of people and they laugh with you.
And so she came over and then she's on this new Keith Urban song called Drop Top.
And so she talks about being on the farm when Keith Urban calls her to be like, hey,
you want to be on the song and she couldn't get signal.
Keith text me and he's like, hey, I'm just trying to call you.
And I was like, oh, dad.
What do I do?
The shop is like a big aluminum building.
And he's like, if you go stand in that doorway right over there and don't move,
the call won't be dropped.
So I go stand in the doorway and I'm like, I swear if I hang up on Keith Urban, I'm going to be so mad.
Yeah, listen to that.
Search Bobbycast.
It's one word on IHeartRadio or Apple Podcasts.
And listen to that.
She's really one of my favorite new artists.
And it's a really good.
She's funny.
She's super funny.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's good. It's up now, so check it out. After the show, check it out.
There were a bunch of more shark attacks, and two children bitten and suspected shark attacks.
He has like that time of the year.
That's when it started happening.
Here you go. This is a kid explaining the shark attack.
The water was cold, so I didn't really feel anything, and then I saw something like next to me and I kind of felt pain.
And I looked and I saw like a fin kind of. I don't know how to describe it.
No, I think you described it just fine, actually.
Yeah, that's perfect.
You felt pain and there was a fin.
It's enough for me to run away.
Holy cow.
Yeah, you nailed it.
So I started, like, running out of the water because I felt it.
And it started, like, swimming, like, kind of...
It was, like, a whirlpool-looking thing, like, next to me.
So I ran out to my mom, and, like, my leg was all, like, bloody.
Oh, man.
Here's the mom.
Just a lot of commotion and a lot of thrashing.
And her trying to, like, get up and, like, get to me.
So, I don't know.
She got to me.
I got to her.
Somehow we got her out.
Thank God, the lifeguards were right there.
This is in Long Island, New York.
The girl's 12 years old.
Here's some witnesses.
All of a sudden, I see her panicking, and I see something.
I couldn't tell what it was, but kind of flapping about.
It had fins, and there was done it, don't know.
I'd say it's kind of like a shark.
I don't really not explain it.
Now, that's the shark, bro.
Wow.
Isn't that crazy?
Gosh, that's scary.
That time of year.
Yeah.
For the real sharks.
Sometimes that time of month.
Oh, that's...
Yeah.
For shark a week.
Amy tells us about it.
Oh, now.
Oh, your shark weekend right now?
Yeah, but I'm over the hump of the craziness.
I was probably crazier this last weekend.
Y'all were thankful we weren't working.
Yeah, well, I mean, I felt like biting the leg in a whirlpool.
Same thing.
Yeah, yeah.
Same exact feeling.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
This nine-year-old girl, she used her birthday party to raise $600 for the K-9 program
at her local police department.
and the officers were so thankful that they hung a plaque at the station in her honor.
Oh, I love both for that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like a double win.
Like now she's like being represented at the station.
Yeah, she's a kid.
And for her birthday, she goes, no presence.
Let's raise money.
And then they go, hey, you're awesome.
We're going to put a plaque up.
That's cool.
That's good.
Yeah.
And then there's like another little part of the story, too.
The officers found out that some of her softball equipment was stolen,
and they replaced that for her as well.
Look at that.
Good?
Yep.
Creates good, creates good.
Yeah.
Love that.
And the softball team went and won the world championship.
It's all good.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
No, I made that last part.
That was Tell Me Something Good.

Let's go.
Transmitting across America.
It's funny, we sometimes will do things with charities and people will come sit in on the show.
Hey, come up here for a second.
Would you mind come up to one second?
So what happens is, so I'll go over to Eddie's mic right there.
And so we do this thing and Amy, they come in today and you're obviously not here because you're in Texas.
Yeah, no, I'm just thinking about how horrible it is that they're there right now.
Not because of me, but like lunchbox isn't there.
And they come in and what's your name?
Connie.
Connie, where are you from?
Nashville.
So you're coming up.
It's fun.
You get us in the studio.
And then Amy, our lunchbox is in here.
What a disappointment, huh?
I know we see you Bobby.
I know, but it's just like, don't you want to see Amy?
Like, she's the star here.
What? No.
Okay. Well, I...
Oh, she confirmed.
Well, she's putting headphones on now.
You want to say hi to Amy?
I love you, Amy.
Oh, hi.
Hi. Sorry that the whole crew's not there.
Oh, Bobby's doing good.
How did you guys get in here?
What did you guys bid on?
We went to a charity event at the YMCA.
Yeah.
And was this a package that you bid on specifically, or do they just say you randomly are going to sit in on the show?
No, we bid on it.
You did?
You want to say how much or no?
I don't even remember.
Probably a million?
A million.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How about that?
A million.
So generous.
What do you do?
Oh, the landscape business.
Yeah, you own, you run a landscape business?
Listen, here's the thing.
I got some flowers and plants in my backyard.
And I needed to have them ripped out because I don't know anything about flowers or plants.
I just want to pave the whole backyard actually, which I'm being told is not the thing to do.
Long term, probably not the best for them.
So I said, hey, can you take these pretty flowers out and can you plant them in another part of the yard?
And they said it's too hot to do that right now.
Are they telling me the truth or are they trying to do it?
trying to do.
They're putting you off, Bobby.
All right.
Will you come to it?
Yeah.
See, now we're talking here.
Yeah.
How much does that cost me?
Say a million dollars.
Oh yeah, yeah.
She got you.
She got me again.
Well, listen, thank you so much for coming in.
You've been here for what, like an hour?
Mm-hmm.
What have you seen?
Like, it's a lot of running around, huh?
Yes.
People don't know how nonstop this thing is.
Yes.
It's just like, bam, bam, bam, bam.
And mostly that's just Eddie.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bang, man, bang,
Well, thank you very much.
Well, thanks for having us.
I'm glad to have you for this hour.
Sorry, the lunchbox and Amy weren't here.
That's fine.
Two-thirds of the show.
Sorry.
Not here.
Well, okay, cool.
Yeah, there you go.
You can go sit back on the couch and hang out.
They're sitting behind me, which is a little weird.
I feel like someone's watching me from behind name.
You should give her a book or something.
Did she get anything else with this auction?
I don't know.
Honestly, they just showed up today.
Can we give her a pimping joy shirt and a book?
We can give her whatever they want.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
You want a hair from my.
head and turn it to DNA and have, you know, do some Jurassic Park with that thing. Have your own
little show. Let's see. What I want to do here? I have Ramundo, our audio producer. Did you guys
know he applied to be on the radio at a hip-hop station? Oh my goodness. When? Well, hey, Ramundo,
what's the story? You saw this on the bulletin board? Yeah, they just posted it in the kitchen.
It was an on-air shift and I thought, why not apply for the rap station, be a DJ? So you went and
you turned in, like what they call an air check? Yeah, a demo.
a little 45 second.
And it's not perfect.
I'm messing up in it,
but I just wanted it to be raw.
That's me how I would host a show.
Amy,
do you want to hear our audio?
So, Raimundo did a rap.
I would call it hip-hop,
the hip-hop station.
That's what it's called.
Hip-hop.
He did a tape here.
Here we go.
Ramundo dropping a beat
in my feelings by Drake.
My favorite thing about
just that one,
not to stop it every time.
He just says the words
dropping a beat like that's hip-hop.
Because he doesn't ever say that.
He's never like, hey Bobby, we're about to drop the new J-Go and beat.
What are you thinking about that, Ramundo, that feedback.
Well, I knew it was going to be negative mostly from you guys, but I don't even care.
I'm just going to apply and do it.
No, I like that you applied.
Here we go.
You know, intro on that dang thing.
Ray, why are you doing, why are you putting a mess up in your tape?
I told Eddie that I said, hey, I'm just going to record how I would do it live so that they know I'm a live guy.
I don't redo stuff and make it perfect.
I just roll it.
But you should redo stuff and make it perfect.
Well, all I could can now.
Ray's yelling at the air checks.
No, Bobby.
What, Amy?
I agree with him being just more, it's more relatable.
Like, nobody speaks perfectly.
But you know what's relatable when you do a radio show?
So do the radio show right.
You're doing like a night show.
So you don't need to be messing up.
It's like going into.
Right.
I used to have my own two-hour show that I DJed.
So take it from me, an expert.
How'd that work out, by the way?
You still doing that?
Well, no.
No.
Okay.
Alright, let me play more Ray Mundo's hip-hop tape.
Probably dating a girl right now.
It's a psycho.
Okay, okay.
Now you're being relatable.
He's probably dating a psycho.
Here's Psycho from Post Malone.
Okay.
Here's Ray Mundo, our audio producer's hip-hop tape.
Got Cardi B right now.
Come on, Cardi.
You drive home from work, traffic probably sucks.
But listen to this.
It's Post Malo Rockstar.
Ariana Grande, no tears left to cry.
I said, I'll play it.
You're in the mix with my.
Riemundo!
This is Taze's bait.
Just cut that out.
All right.
He puts it off.
I wouldn't hire you if you gave me a best of, like a resume.
It's like handing a resume in with typos.
Wait, what did you call it?
A best of.
Yes.
So you're telling them that's the best of.
Yes, you're handing an audio resume in.
I can take those out.
You already turned it in and got rejected.
Well, I can send it to other stations.
What up y'all?
It's Ray Mundo in the Mix.
Juice World Lucid Dreams getting hit up online.
for this one. Hanging out with you, trying to play some good music. I got some friends in
country radio. I'll try and make this a hit. Here's Juicy.
I still see you, Shad. Oh my goodness. Yeah!
Okay, well, do you understand why they didn't hire you? Yeah. Because if that's the job
you're turning in, the best of you, what's the worst of you? I know. I knew it was sloppy.
I've never done it before. If someone handed me a resume and every fifth word was spelled wrong,
I would go, okay, you don't pay attention to the detail. But I do like that you're trying things.
That's cool. And the listener,
realizes, hey, it's tough to post a song.
If you want to intro it perfectly, that ain't easy at all.
By posting a song, you mean talking right up to the words.
Yeah, that is so hard.
Hey, Carrie in California, good morning. How are you?
Hey, Bobby.
What up?
I'm doing good. Just dropping off some girls at the fair here in California for FFA.
But I have to tell you, your book has just totally motivated me, but also a team of nine people I
manage in Bangalore, India.
And I was reading it on the plane
last month, and it was
awesome that I got to include
a couple lines.
So I had to quote you in there, and I
just told the team about
Bobby Bones and how it's okay to fail.
Oh, thank you very much. Well, thank you.
Hey, where do you live in California?
Oh, a small town called Oakdale
where Cowboy Capital of the World.
There you go. It's a summer out there.
Really? Yeah.
It was 103 at the Stanislaw County Fair yesterday.
Holy cow.
Well, tell the girls and say what up.
Thank you for that very kind call.
That's nice of you.
And thanks for reading my book.
I appreciate that.
Hey, and I just ordered your first book on Amazon.
It should be coming in the mail today.
Come on.
Look at this.
I'm reading all the words I wrote.
You have a new book called Fail Until You Don't.
And right now on Amazon, it is $10 off.
If anybody cares, it's called, what's it called again?
Fail until you don't.
It's your book, man.
Ray's air check.
By the way, you know what people are calling me now, which I don't know how comfortable I am,
but they're calling me Country Music's Youngest Historian.
So now I'm doing all the documentaries.
Oh, yeah.
You did one on Charlie Pride the other day.
That's just my grandmother.
And then me also being a nerd and studying things I like.
But yeah, so since I am Country Music's Youngest Historian.
The Bobby Bones Show on this day in Country Music.
The number one song in 1990.
Man, we're talking about it.
It's 2018, 1990.
Was it 28 years ago?
Yeah.
The dance from Garth Brooks.
28 years ago, this was the number one song.
The song was written by Tony Arata, and Garth Brooks recorded it, but the song was passed by many people.
And the Garth's like, no, I love it.
That's crazy.
And Garth cuts it.
Yeah.
They met at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville.
Brooks had heard Tony playing the dance and asked for permission to record it once he signed to a major record label, and the rest is history.
Wow.
He asked him at the Bluebird.
I think Garth told, maybe told me the story, told us this story.
story? Yeah, I think he said it already.
Those kids from Thailand that were in the cave had a press conference and they were actually
able to talk. You were inside us. Well, how did you feel at that moment?
I was really afraid, okay? Not to be able to return home. By the way, that older woman is not a kid
trapped. It's a translator. Yeah, yeah. So you decided to spend the night and did you have any food
with you? The answer is no, okay, we don't have anything with us. So they went for 18 days and
Mike D. was one telling me about this story. So, hey, what were they saying in the press
conference. They were like apologizing to their parents because apparently they told them not to go into the cave.
So they came out and say they were sorry to their mom and dad were going in there.
Wasn't it a thing where every year they went into the cave?
Mm-hmm. That's like every year they would do something like this. That's kind of an initiation.
They just went in further than they were supposed to. Really? Yeah. And they still feel guilty about that. Yeah, they do. Yeah, drop that. Yeah. A lot of therapy coming. Yep. So what's hat? So they're out of the
hospital. They're out. And some of them are saying now that they want to go be Navy SEALs.
Because the Navy still saved their own place off her anymore.
They want to go do that?
Wow.
Nah, good for them.
Good for those kids.
Good for the people that saved them.
I love that story.
Over to Morgan number two, who's 24 years old, and we always wonder what she cares about.
Nickelodeon announced a two-part revival of the Rugrats.
Hmm.
Okay.
I think I think I...
What do you think?
Well, I still see the Rugrats on, so it still feels like it's a current thing to me.
You do?
Yeah.
Sometimes I'll run Rugrats.
Oh, wow.
I've never seen that.
And Rugrats was a little behind me.
So I don't know that I'm as excited as someone like Morgan number two is 24.
Yeah, I mean, I grew up watching the Rugrats.
Yeah.
So, and they're coming out with a 26 episode series and then a live action film after that.
So, it'll be a lot.
They're old.
They got jobs.
I think it'll be a follow-up to how it ended in the last one.
How did it end?
Was there a cliffhanger in Rugrats?
I don't remember that.
Mike Did you know Rugrats?
Well, they did one when they were teenagers.
They did. They did a series for a while.
But do you call them Rugrats anymore? Don't you call them just rug people?
Rug adults.
But that's cool, but you're excited about that.
Yeah, I'm really excited.
There you go.
See, that's why I talked to her about it.
Because I don't really care about 24-year-olds, dude.
Yeah, I like that.
Someone handed me this story after a segment we did a bit ago,
where I was talking about how people, as a kid, people came in and out of my life a lot.
My mom came and left, and my grandma adopted me, and my real dad came and left.
And it was just, that was normal to me to constantly be left as a kid, not really knowing for a while whose care I was.
And then it normalized a bit later when my stepdad came into my life, my mom.
I mean, I was probably like 13, 12, 13.
But someone handed me the story.
According to a study, people with sturdier relationships in childhood have stronger relationships in adulthood.
What I think about that, Amy?
Looks sense, huh?
Yeah.
Scientists have known for a long time that we start forming attachments at a very young,
age and continue to do so throughout our lives. And they say that people that have supportive,
strong bonds as a kid just innately have those same strong bonds as an adult. Like they're able to
actually achieve them because they saw them. Where people who didn't, like maybe myself,
I don't, that's not an excuse for me. I'm just nuts. But people like myself, maybe I never saw
successful ones early. Therefore, that's tougher for me to have that. Yeah. Hmm. Very interesting.
Very true.
That'd have to do with marriages and stuff.
Like, you know, people, I mean, they grew up seeing good relationship between their mom and their dad.
Is that what you mean?
Probably.
I never saw a good relationship.
I saw, for a bit, you know, but even my mom and who I call my stepdad, they got divorced.
So it wasn't like, when my mom died, they weren't together.
So I saw my mom, you know, in and out of a lot of relationships.
And so.
It's an interesting study.
I always just, I know, I know that.
that that's the truth. I know that's the story, but for some reason, I always picture them together.
My mom. Your mom and your stepdad. Like, I know, like, up until she died, but that's just
totally not the case. Like, they were not together. It's not. I remember them coming to me in college
and being like, hey, we're divorcing. How long were they married? I'm going to guess six years.
I'm guessing. I don't know. And there was a while I lived with my grandmother while they were
together. So I was just kind of, I just kind of shifted around a lot. I was all over the place.
I'd be interested to see what Arkansas Keith
You know
Thinks about
Some of this too
And you and your upbringing and you're
Not like I'm going to have a sit down one on one with Arkansas Keith about you
But I just would be interested to see his take on it
That's my stepdad Arkansas kids
Yes
Yeah
And perspective because we all come from different perspectives
Maybe he has a completely different perspective
Maybe he gets a kid who
Is very well adjusted and wonderful
Or maybe he gets a nightmare
I don't know really what I was.
I worked hard.
I got to pay the bills.
I really feel like given your circumstances, man, like you've turned out pretty good.
Yeah, I think I don't know.
I know we give you a hard time about emotionally how you're some stuff is there.
But all of that is you're, I think you're to a place where now you're ready to work on some of that.
Yes.
I'm so ready to work on it because there is such a void in my balance.
Mm-hmm.
I have been trying to prove people wrong for so long, not just about me, but about people from
small towns, about people from the south, about people that don't come from, uh, you know,
the worst thing for me is once, and it's not a thing, but when someone goes, hey, they're from
a good family.
And they're not talking about me.
They're talking about somebody else.
And I'm like, oh, man, if people say this about me, I don't even have a, I don't have
that structure.
So I don't, if someone asked someone about me to come from a good family, no.
Yeah.
Meaning.
Gosh, I never even thought about how that could be.
Oh, it bothers me.
It bothers me.
thing. It's not offensive. I mean, I choose not to be offended by anything. If I don't like it,
I just go away from it. That's why I have trouble with people when they get mad at stupid things.
I just turn it off. Let me change the word. Go ahead. Let me check. I won't say offensive.
Hurtful. It's bothersome to me because I don't want to be judged on that scale.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. It could be, because nobody, certainly nobody means harm by that because,
yeah, everybody has different life circumstances and it's not going to define them 100% like of what time
a person they're going to be.
But yeah, to be like, well, does he come from a good family?
And I hear that and it makes me, I kind of wince at it a bit because I'm going out of a silly
question.
I go, you know what?
I don't come from what's considered a good family, but what I used to see as
disadvantages in my life, I now look at as big time advantages.
Growing up super poor, I have learned how to manage all the things.
Like, that's, I could go back to Mountain Pine, Arkansas and do that again.
I know how to do that.
Like I learned a survival set.
Those are advantages now, not disadvantages.
And people come through things.
And I think we have the kind of hindsight to go, oh, it just sucks where it happened and where I come from.
Man, look what you learned from what you got through.
And now look at the tools that you now have in your belt that you can build things with.
And so whenever I go, you know what, I wouldn't have been able to have Christmas presents for a lot of my life or even meals at times without church groups or without the PTA groups.
the thing is I know that and I'm able to help other people because of that.
If that didn't happen to me, I wouldn't be able to help people.
So those are now advantages in looking back at that.
Like I'm thankful that all that stuff happened to me.
So that's how I look at it now.
You know who else?
You know, Mike D.
Mike D came from a background very similar to mine.
Wouldn't you agree?
Yeah, definitely.
I mean, and this guy is over here grinding it out too.
How would you describe your childhood of Mike D?
I mean, same as yours, not a lot of money.
Not a lot of money.
Yeah.
And then just...
It sounds like a lot of money.
I was like, oh, not a lot of money.
Just like yours except a lot.
When I met Mike D, he couldn't even afford a bed.
No.
You bought me a bed?
I bought him a bed.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember that.
And I was like, dude, you were an intern.
Yeah.
I was like, you don't have a bed?
He was like, no.
I said, oh, I know what that's like.
Let me buy you a bed.
Wow.
And so, yeah, that's probably why we're Mike D and I get each other.
Yeah, like, I never had a bedroom growing up either.
on the floor in the living room.
He slept on the floor.
At least I had a couch.
Yeah.
I was on the couch.
But those are advantages now.
We're not even feeling sorry for ourselves.
We're going, we learn and we can help other people that have that same kind of, same kind of upbringing.
Gosh, I know you're not feeling sorry for yourselves.
Don't take this the wrong way, but like hearing y'all say that too, it makes me think of, you know, as a kid.
Or even now sometimes how selfish my brain can be.
And I need to really correct that or like things that I think that I need or my kids need or things that I didn't.
I know it's all relative.
I know, but it's just, it's a good reminder that, like, as bad as you think you might have it,
there's somebody that is going through something worse, too, and just to keep that perspective.
Always.
Always.
There's somebody that has a lot worse than you can.
Yeah, and they're not talking about it or being open about it.
So, yeah.
Anyway, we kind of went on a little soapbox here, but I don't even know how that got started.
I don't know, but it's good.
We learned a lot.
Yes, Amy.
I know you took a breath.
Go ahead.
Well, I know how it got started because you're trying to, you're trying to get started.
because you're talking about earlier in the show being adopted by your grandma and not knowing it,
and then it led to the story of the attachment disorder.
I'm a real treat, ladies.
Get you some of this.
It's available.
Amy's been on the air with us all week, but she's in a different studio in Texas.
Her dad went in for cancer surgery on his throat.
They said it'd be a few days.
It's been over three weeks in ICU.
And so what's the latest on that, Amy?
The latest is yesterday we transferred to a rehab hospital.
still in like an intensive care situation, but better, like more, like once he starts going
through speech therapy and physical therapy and stuff, it's just more opportunity to transfer
right into a normal room at the rehab hospital and then hopefully get home and then maybe
just get some care at home.
But I don't know.
They say we could be at this hospital for 25 days, but I don't know.
Man, this is a turn into.
My dad, his eyeballs, when he heard 25 days, he was like, no.
He's like, I'll do whatever you want me to do.
Like, I'll work so hard, whatever I need to do just get me home.
Can he talk?
Yeah, now he can.
They put a cap on his trache yesterday.
That's another thing, too, that's new.
Once you cap it, you can talk.
It sounds like this, but he can talk.
And yesterday was his most coherent day.
Like the first day he really, I don't know.
I haven't seen him today, so I want to talk to him today,
see if he remembers what we talked about yesterday.
But, yeah, I mean, we told him everything he's been doing the last three weeks, and he's almost in, like, disbelief.
How old are your dad?
He's 77.
How does he?
And he's a really healthy, like, with it guy.
Like, this just as a, the surgery just had some unfortunate stuff, side of stuff that went wrong.
Are you coming home at all?
Yeah, I'm going to come home.
My sister gets here tonight, I think.
So, and then we'll overlap, like, tomorrow together.
I just want to make sure he's situated at this new place.
and then I'll come home on Saturday.
Yeah, and then I'll be with you guys all next week
because my sister will be in Austin.
You haven't seen your kids.
I know.
I'm excited to be with them.
They miss you or no?
I have FaceTime with them every night.
They miss you or no?
Well, sometimes we're on FaceTime, like in the middle of me talking.
My daughter will just...
She's 11.
Come on.
That's okay.
And then my husband last night even said something to her.
He said, no, mom's still talking.
That's rude.
Don't interrupt her.
And she just, I heard her in the background just being like, well, sometimes it just goes on so long.
Hey, join the club.
You were late, Bob?
Yeah.
No, I get it.
Okay.
Hey, Amy.
Okay, bye.
Folks, it's your buddy and my.
Mr. Bobby Bones.
Let's go.
Transmit.
I went and did yoga yesterday at like 5.30, which is late for me.
So I'm not familiar with that class.
I'm not even that good at yoga.
I'm just trying to get my body a little more flexible.
But I think I bit off a little more than I could chew.
It's hard.
I got some advanced class.
I was gifted and talented yoga yesterday.
Well, were you able to keep up or you just kind of faked it to you and make it?
80% keep up, 20% fake it until I make it?
Wow, it's 100.
Yeah.
I had to study off a girl in front of me and like see what she was doing.
Oh, I bet you did.
I did.
Life is so hard.
You got to study off the girl in front of you.
That means you had to stare at her.
Well, here's the thing.
Yes and no.
It's the same girl.
Remember the last time I went to yoga class?
Yes.
And I was like, it's distracting when somebody really attractive is in front of you.
I would prefer to go in and have it be all people like me, goofy people that don't know what they're doing, and who cares to look.
It's annoying when someone's so good looking in front of you.
And so it's the same girl.
And it makes time go by so slow.
Get out of here.
You know you picked the spot right behind her.
I was one of the first ones there.
Oh, so she picked the spot.
No, I picked it.
No, I picked it.
But it was tough.
It was really tough.
It was really tough.
Well, do you think you sing her again as like a sign?
You know, sign?
And you never go to that class.
I don't.
But she probably always does.
But here's the thing, I'm.
Let me tell you a story.
You're probably going to go more now.
No.
Well, no, it was a good class.
But I go to class.
I'm nothing about yoga, but I'm trying.
And I always, I just have a hard time talking to women in general.
It's just not my thing.
I can talk to anybody if I'm supposed to be on.
Like, Bob Bones are crazy.
The comedian guy, radio guy.
Look at me.
But when it's like normal real life,
I have a real struggle talking to people
if it's someone that I think
is possibly romantic, okay?
So I'm finishing up and I'm going,
maybe I should just say hello.
In my head, this is what's happening.
But I don't, right?
Instead, I talk to the guy next to me
if we're walking out.
I have no problem talking to him.
I was like, hey, dude, you did good.
Yeah, there's no pressure there.
Nothing.
I'm such an idiot.
You said that to another guy in class?
You know what I said, Amy?
I did even worse than that.
Now that I think about it, I said,
hey, man, you're really strong.
Oh, boy.
That's what I said.
I did.
But I meant it.
It was not an insiniscise.
I was completely sincere.
That's even worse.
I mean, and that's okay for you.
I'm sure he went home feeling better about himself that night.
He was like, dang, I'm strong.
He was strong.
He dominated the class.
I admired.
He's put a lot of time into it.
And I can admire someone that's put in the work.
And I said, hey, man, you're really strong, like, great work.
Did you touch him when you said that?
No, because we were disgustingly sweaty.
Because didn't you do that to Colt McCoy or who did you?
You, like, grabbed their body.
and you're like, wow, you're really strong.
Who was that?
Amy, these stories you make up.
I don't know.
I'm not making it up.
You know on that.
No, Matt Holiday.
It was Matt Holiday.
I knew it was an athlete.
Okay.
Thank you.
Who played for the Cardinals?
Who's like, really ripped.
Huge.
And I know him a bit.
And I was like, dude, look, and I just grab his arm and it's huge.
And everybody else thought it was weird.
I didn't think it was weird.
But you like squeezed it while you said it.
Because I wanted to feel how big it was.
Yeah.
So was it big?
It's huge.
So did you talk to this girl or not?
No, no, no.
I thought even why I was bringing the story up.
Oh.
I got in that class about 15 minutes into it.
I was like, oh, this is a big boy class.
Shouldn't be here.
What?
You think she's single?
I have no idea.
I don't know.
I don't know.
There's only one way to find out.
No, there's not.
Yes, there is.
Ask her.
Game over.
What's that?
Round over.
Round over.
Come on.
No.
You got to find out her info and stalk her online.
That's how you find out.
Nope.
I don't do that.
Okay.
Over to Amy with the news.
I'm done.
Match is over. You ready for this?
Yeah.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So there's some things you might be doing that are zapping your energy, so I'm going to
encourage you to not do them, and maybe you can take a look at your life and be like,
okay, am I doing this?
Go ahead.
If I stop it, I'll have more energy.
Like, do you take things personally, which I feel like I do this a lot?
Yeah, that's correct you do.
And you just kind of let stuff roll off your back more.
constant worrying, negativity, overthinking things.
Oh, man, I'm an over-cincter.
Gossiping and creating drama.
There's not a lot of that gossip in this room.
I kind of cut that.
If anybody's a gossip in this room, I cut that out of here.
You don't exist in our world.
I just won't have it.
So I don't think that's the thing with us, right?
No, but if it's good, then you talk about it on air and then it's where it ends.
Yeah, that's the creating drama part.
But then also just being too much of a people pleaser, which some people, you know, struggle with that.
And it's like a, it's, you're trying to be nice and please everybody, but it can be really draining on you.
So you need to maybe cut that out a little bit.
All right.
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
And then Lays came out with some chip flavors.
And I think some of them sound pretty amazing.
I don't even really eat Lace potato chips.
But I'm talking deep dish pizza.
Wow, a chip?
How do they get all that flavor into a chip?
Yeah, that deep dish.
A deep dish pizza chip?
Wow.
So they based it on different parts of the country, like that one's for Chicago.
Then the New England states get a lobster roll.
In the south, there's pomeina cheese.
That's what we got a terrible one.
The south's got the worst one.
Pimento cheese.
I love pomeo cheese.
Out of all the food we have.
Well, you can't make a chicken fried steak chip?
Come on.
Pimento cheese.
Okay.
Why not I just do grease?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
We cook everything in grease.
That's right.
Lard.
Yeah.
Lard. Here's the Lard chip.
Yeah, what else saying?
Representing state fairs everywhere, there's a flavor called fried pickles with ranch.
And then Texas has chili can queso and Louisiana's got a Cajun spice.
Texas has the screw you chip. We're on.
We don't need it.
It's like the South has this, but Texas.
That's right.
Texark's like, we're not even telling you our flavor.
Screw you.
That's so Texas. I love it.
What else I'm saying?
So sometimes we go through like the biggest turn-ons for a person like when you first meet them like what you're first attracted to.
Wait, biggest turn on.
I've never went through that early on with somebody.
Hey, what's your biggest turn on?
I know there's our first date.
No, no, no, no.
We talk about it on the show.
We talk about what what people look for and we break it down a little bit.
Well, that's different than biggest turn-ons.
Oh.
You know what that's what the article says.
Biggest turn-ons.
And at number five.
Oh, boy.
And number 27.
Leather
I go to
Nunt whips
What?
Go ahead
You have five
No
At five
scent
Okay how they smell
So how someone
smells
Four
Physical attractiveness
Obviously
Duh
Three
Intelligence
Two
Smile
And number one
Eyes
I'm gonna tell you
Why the
Intelligent
One's bullcrap
Saying that you
are
Attractive
To someone's
Intelligence
is like going
I just want to be a good person
It's like you just obviously you want someone who's smart
Obviously you want someone who's a good person
Yeah
Yeah nobody wants a dumb person
Yeah no one's like
You know I'm in the mood for real dumb dumb today
Oh
I'm attracted to you
You were so hot right now
Tell me again
What's four plus three
Say it slow
Oh two
Oh it's so hot
Oh
Oh.
Yeah.
I mean, where's like sense of humor on here?
Oh, yeah.
Come on.
Put that at one.
No, but again, everybody wants somebody with a good sense of humor.
Nobody goes, you know what?
I'm really into that dude.
It's just not funny at all.
You know, you know what really gets me going?
What gets my engine revving when somebody just has nothing funny to say whatsoever?
There are universal things people want.
They want someone who they're attracted to physically.
Women can be less attracted to physically because they are,
a more in depth
of the sexes.
They can take all the things.
Guys, we can't.
We have to be attractive first
and then move from there.
But everybody wants intelligent,
somebody's pretty smart.
Everybody wants somebody's pretty funny.
Yeah.
And money?
No, you weren't going to put that one?
No, I wasn't going to put that one.
Since you brought up women and being hot,
just one of their little bonus story
is that if you want a really big engagement ring,
like if that's high on your priority list,
you're going to have to find a guy that thinks
you're really hot.
Because if he thinks you're hotter than him, he's going to try to lock you in with a big ring.
Okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm into it.
That comes from money-ish.
What is it?
Okay.
All truth.
I like how.
Being turned out by somebody's super dumb.
That's so funny to me.
So.
Yeah.
Talk to me.
I want to ask you a question, Heidi.
Okay.
Go ahead.
What's the state capital of New York?
Oh, Austin.
No.
Stop.
What's red and blue?
Oh, that's pink.
Oh, baby.
Oh, my gosh.
Okay.
I'm Amy.
That's my pile.
Would you marry me?
It's a Bobby Bones show.
What are you doing today?
Hang it at the hospital.
Everybody's in hospitals.
Lunchbox in hospitals?
I mean, for different reasons.
I mean, oncebox had a baby.
If you missed his talk, by the way, about the baby's name,
go back and listen to the Bobby Bone Show podcast.
If you search Bobby Bone Show on demand on iHeart Radio,
Bobby Bone Show on Demand.
Amy's at the hospital because they're dead.
I had cancer surgery.
It's supposed to be three days.
It ends up being three weeks.
But he got moved to a better part of the hospital.
So things are actually progressing, right?
Yeah, things are good.
We transferred all the way over to, like, a completely different facility.
New hospital.
It's a rehab.
place so he's still high
risk or intensive care,
but it's a step in the right
direction, I think.
But he's doing good, so I'm pumped about it
and hopefully we're on day four of
awesomeness. If we get day four, that would be great.
That will be great. Well, good. What are you doing?
I actually am going to go take an airplane
to Minneapolis.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I'll be doing the show from there in the morning.
We're just going to be all over the place. Oh,
I know. I'm in Minneapolis. Lunchbox
is in the hospital. Amy's
in Texas. The studio is
in Nashville.
Yeah, I'll be here.
Yeah.
I'll hold down the studio in Nashville.
I'm speaking at a broadcast seminar.
I'm like a keynote speaker or something.
What are you going to talk about?
Amy, I don't know.
They asked me to do these things.
How do you prepare for that?
Well, I don't know what I'm going to talk about yet.
I'm pretty versatile.
Yes, you are.
That's true.
And I speak every weekend.
I do comedy shows every weekend.
So I, and I know what I'm talking about when it comes to this.
A lot of times I don't know I'm talking about on this, but how to do this.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know why they even asked me to do it.
I'm the worst.
I'm the worst example.
Because we haven't done anything the way anyone else should do it.
Like we don't fit a mold.
They're like, hey, so how did you do it?
I'm like, well, here's what I did.
I got all my friends who've never been in radio before.
So, yeah, I'm going to go speak to that.
I'll do that tomorrow.
So, flying out.
Eddie, what are you doing?
Man, you know, every day this week, the boys and I've been picking a different outdoor sport
or something to do.
So I think they want to play baseball.
Summer almost over.
Is that why?
Oh, man.
It's like a couple more weeks and we're done with this.
We'll see you tomorrow.
How, when does school start?
Well, the end of the month, but I mean.
I mean, that's 10 days or so.
Yeah, yeah.
See you tomorrow.
The dance party, Jimmy Allen.
We'll find out what lunchboxes' baby stats were
and what he ended up naming the baby, hopefully.
That'll be tomorrow.
All right, thank you.
See tomorrow.
Bye.
This is a Bobby Bones show.
