Mr. Bobby Bones.
Let go.
Transmitting across America.
This is Bobby Bones.
Hey, welcome.
Welcome to the show. Morning Studio!
Morning!
Oh man, it's crazy because I come in and always have this
a pile of stories, and I go through them and I kind of rank them
in order of what I for sure want to get to.
And I have two that are just so nutty that I'm just going to share them.
There was a guy that was hired on a Thursday, fired on a Sunday,
and then tried to kill his boss two hours later.
It was just not a fortunate few days for this guy.
A 23-year-old guy was hired at an aluminum manufacturing company in Florida.
He was fired three days later for throwing around supplies and dropping his tools on the ground.
So he gets hired on Thursday, fired on Sunday.
He's so mad he came back and tried to kill his boss.
He shut up with a gun, chased his boss out of the building.
You know that boss is buttless puckering.
Can you imagine him?
Somebody comes with a gun?
Oh.
The boss jumped into his car.
The guy started firing.
He put five bullets into the car.
None of them hit the boss.
And the guy was arrested for attempt to murder, so no one got hurt.
Wow.
But that's a pretty bad run.
That's pretty bad, just a bad week for that, dude.
now he's in jail forever
Goes and has to get a new job
Probably lost his other job
So he gets fired
Goes and gets a new one
Gets fired again
Attempt and murder somebody
Now he's in jail
Yeah
That's a bad run boys
I've seen some bad runs
That's bad boys
So there's that one
Here's another one
Experts have revealed
That women deal
With hardship better than men
And are more likely
To survive extreme crises
Over men
Anyway, what I think about that?
Man, I feel like maybe I'm starting to see how that makes sense if I think about it for a second
because my husband, I'm just thinking in our family, he keeps it all in and keeps it internalizes it.
And that, I think, can build up and be worse for you over time, whereas I express everything that I'm going through and I share my emotions and I'm vulnerable so I can get it out and maybe heal faster.
It's probably more toxic to keep it.
it in. I wonder, because they talk about extreme crisis here and how women are better, I wonder if
childbirth makes women so much stronger. You guys have to deal with something that we don't.
And it's awesome and equally as crazy hard. Like you have to like throw a baby out of your woo-woo hole.
Yeah. I know. And I would put our monthly cycle right up there with that every month.
That's true too. Y'all do not have to deal with that on the regular every time.
28 days, 26 sometimes,
32, you know, give or take, but it,
maybe because this month for me was like so brutal,
I was like curled up in a ball on the floor, like in so much pain.
And not every month is like that.
Yeah, it's crazy.
Some months are super intense and others are like, oh, wow, okay, not too bad.
But I just, yeah, and men will just never understand that.
Just like we won't understand what it's like for you guys.
Yeah, get hit in the junk.
Yeah, you don't know.
If that's what you want to compare it to, because that happens.
every month.
For me, it does.
I make sure someone hits me right there just so I remember.
For seven days?
Seven days in a row?
Just in honor of all the women in my life, I have one of my friends come up every day
for a week and it thumped me right in my junk.
And I go, that's for you ladies.
I just want to feel it, you know?
Yeah.
They say that on this story, they say that one of the main reasons is estrogen because
the hormone has a unique ability to boost a woman's immune system and can give
almost a superpower when it comes to health
and when it comes to adrenaline. That's interesting. Okay.
That is interesting, right? Anyway, I had that
story in the pile here.
You probably have some measure gin up in you.
Oh, do I? Do I? Do I
have it? I don't know. I mean, I don't know if
only, I mean, I don't know if it's just produced by the ovaries.
Because, I mean, women, we have testosterone.
I might have ovaries. Who knows?
The Bobby Bone Show.
Big Drees stories.
It's producer Raimundo. Today is the
17th anniversary of the September
11 terrorist attacks.
In other news, more than a million people in the path
of Hurricane Florence are ordered to evacuate.
There's been states of emergency declared.
It's going to be on the East Coast on Thursday.
And finally, in recall news,
there's a recall on cat and dog food.
The brand is Steve's real food.
It can make your animals sick.
Take you back for a full refund.
So Amy, you and your husband
got a couple's massage? Yeah, it was his birthday.
So I just booked a normal massage.
Nothing crazy. But about
halfway through it, she said,
I'm going to stop and do some energy work.
And I was like, okay, energy work.
So for about 15 minutes, she just sat there with her fingers on my temples, barely pressing.
Like, barely pressing.
Then she moved, and this is all in that 15 minutes.
She went from temples to behind my ears to my shoulders.
And when I tell you, there was no massaging of my temples, it was just pressed, like, a little teeny tiny bit of pressure.
where she's not having to work at all.
So in my head, I'm like, is this energy work?
Or is she taking a break?
Because it was right in the middle of the massage.
And then she went back to massaging, and it was fine.
And so I didn't know if I was being sold some, you know, like, you know,
like she didn't really have energy work going on.
She was just tired.
But it felt like she was sending me good vibes through my temples, but I don't know.
And I didn't know if this is real or scam.
Huh.
Let me show you
How much she was present
Let me show you
Let me see if I feel any energy
By the way
Are you sure she didn't say
She was saving her energy work
Go ahead
She said now
Okay go ahead
Amy's walking behind me
She has her hands on my head
Go ahead
Oh
I did
Listen, I'm be honest
I do kind of like that
And then hold on
Ooh
Wait you're not moving your fingers
Amy
I know
All she did was hold her hands on you
And she just charged you for that
What it is
What?
She was like,
Did you start laughing?
She was like,
I think we cleared out a lot of stuff.
Amy,
standing behind me touching my bag.
Yeah, Amy,
you got scammed.
Wow, did I just get,
she goes,
I really feel like we cleared out
and opened up some space in there
in between my temples
and my,
behind my ears and my shoulders.
Did you believe it?
No, no,
that's why I'm bringing it to y'all.
Like, nothing feels different about me,
really, other than
it's kind of like she took a 15 break
in the middle of massage.
But she sold it as she,
I was lucky enough to be with someone that did energy massage,
which wasn't massaging.
It was touching my temple.
Well, listen, I did a massage once and I got a kiss on the forehead.
Well, I think she liked you.
Or she did that to every now.
Wait, wasn't she like 80?
Yeah.
And she kissed me in my forehead.
That was bizarre.
She was like, we did the thing.
And then she was like, wait, what?
That was a joke.
It was like, you?
When you went to, you're like, wait, is this real?
Yeah.
How did you not laugh while she was just holding her fingers on you?
I didn't want to ruin the energy.
I don't know.
Oh, it's right.
Yep.
The game is easy.
I will play you a sound.
You have to identify what the sound is.
Now we played this before in Eddie 1.
I'm just going to play a sound.
These are all back-to-school sounds.
Ready?
Sound number one, listen closely.
Let's watch they don't like that sound.
No, he does not.
He pulled his headphones off there.
There you go.
Would you guys like to hear that again?
No.
I'm good.
I'm in.
Okay.
There's one more time.
Crank it up.
I'm in for the win.
Okay, let's go over to Amy.
Amy, what do you have?
That is writing on a chalkboard.
Lunchbox, what you have?
That's chalk on a chalkboard.
Eddie?
Chalk on a chalkboard.
It is.
It is.
Stop it.
Everybody gets one point.
Thanks for playing that again, boss.
Yeah, you're welcome.
We'd like to hear it in a song.

Listen closely

Can I just yelled in first so I can win? No. I'm in for the win.
Amy, Amy?
An electric pencil sharpener.
Lunchbox? That's the pencil sharpener.
I love these things. Electric pencil sharpener.
Wow, we have a tie. Okay, one final one.
Yeah.
Tiebreaker, all you have to do is say your name to buzz in.
All right, we're ready to play. You're ready. Just say your name as your buzzer.
Here we go. Three, two.

Good morning, everyone.
Edge and McIntyre.
And they stay there.
And they stay there.
Big win this morning.
Stay in school.
Wait, what?
Stay in school.
Why are you yelling things like education and stay in school?
Because this was all school sounds.
School sounds.
Yeah.
Stay in school, you'll be like that.
Hey, what's up?
I graduated top 50% of my high school.
There you go.
Ding, ding, ding.
Nice or.
The latest from Nashville and Hollywood.
It's the 30 Second Skinny.
Eric Church gave fans yet another taste of his new album.
He released a song called Higher Wire.
Yeah.
I'm going to play it.
Have you already yet?
No, I'm not.
It's wild, man.
Do you like it?
It's wild, man.
You know, I love this Eric Church album that doesn't exist yet.
It's wild.
That's great.
That's rock and roll.
He's breaking the rules.
He's breaking the rules.
Amy was a little weird about it.
He was like, he goes on it.
too much. And I was like, that's all breaking the rule.
I did think that CD was skipping, though.
Yeah, I know. I was like, it's this thing broken.
What else, Morgan number two?
Carrie Underwood shared her new Sunday night football theme, along with a new song called Game
On.
Was this on this week?
What's on in that football?
I missed it.
Yeah.
I didn't get to see this.
You were busy.
Yeah, I was doing Miss America.
That's right.
Yeah.
Which, by the way, yeah.
Yeah.
All right, is that it?
No, so Blake Shelton revealed that he's kind of like all of us.
Gwen Stefani will cook him like salad and salmon to eat,
but instead he'll eat mac and cheese and chicken nuggets that she makes for her kids.
You know, good for Blake.
What is Blake trying to impress me anymore?
I'm Morgan number two.
That's the skinny.
Bobby Bone.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
A pizza shop in Indiana has found a way to help homeless and people that can't necessarily afford food.
in their community.
At 8th Street Pizza and New Albany,
they now allow diners to pay whatever they can.
Oh, wow.
These are always amazing to me because I do think that I would pay price,
maybe even more, because I feel like there would be others who couldn't pay
that I want to make up for what they couldn't pay,
and I'd like this business to stay in business.
But then I wonder about someone like Lunchbox who does fine.
Has it.
Nice life.
What would you pay, lunchbox?
I pay $0.0.0.
Why? It's optional.
You're not allowing the system to work.
What they're trying to do is to create an environment where people who can give more pay more.
And people that can't can still come in and maybe they offer things around the shop they can do to help clean up because they want to have dignity-based stuff, like not just free handouts.
I have no problem picking up my dishes when I'm done.
I will put them in whatever container at the exit.
Let's just say I go by there one day and I happen to forget my wallet.
Okay.
But you would really do that?
Yeah.
Well, I think it's a great idea.
Shout out. What's the name of the place name?
Eight Street Pizza.
Mmm.
You should be a good place on seventh up there, though.
I have no idea.
All right, thank you, Amy.
Bobby Bone Show.
Bonehead.
Story of the day!
This story comes to us from Coloma, Michigan.
Seven classmates buried a time capsule 30 years ago.
So they got back together to dig it up, you know, outside the high school, spent hours and hours.
Can't find it.
Wait, what?
They can't find it.
They spent hours all day digging.
They have no idea where it is.
What happened to it?
They maybe have marked the wrong spot.
Oh, that's bad.
So they had a big reunion 30 years later to unveil this capsule like, oh, this is going to be so cool.
Can't find it.
Is that their fault?
I think so.
Can you imagine, though?
They're like, it's got to be here somewhere.
Keep digging.
All right.
There are your boneheads.
On Lunchbox, that's your bonehead story in the day.
I'll get a big announcement tomorrow.
That's pretty exciting.

It's a Bobby Bones show.
It is the 17th anniversary of September 11th.
So later on in the show, I think it would be fitting if we just went around and told
stories about where we were when that happened because I remember it so vividly and I think
we'll have a time too to share our appreciation for the first responders so yeah that'll be
happening a little later just want to make sure you guys know if you want to listen around for
that we'll do that probably in you know 80 minutes or so because it shook me as a kid I
remember I mean I was in the school library I remember it so vividly so that's coming up
I want anyone to think we're not talking about that because we are we're just trying to find a
really good place where we can just sit and talk about it and have to rush, you know?
Yeah.
So that's later, I did mention this story that you guys know who Post Malone is, right?
Yep.
So Post Malone, here, here's the song here.
Armed suspects thought they attacked Post Malone's home, but he moved out a few months earlier.
They had targeted him, and they went in.
Three male suspects broke into the house that previously belonged to Post Malone,
believing the rappers still live there.
They smashed the front window.
They pistol-whipped a resident who was living there now.
Oh, my gosh.
Isn't that crazy?
Oh, that's so unfortunate for the people to live there now.
One of the men, the robbers, was yelling,
where's Post Malone?
And the people probably like, what?
Who?
Post-what?
I mean, this guy, Post Malone, dodged a plane crash.
Remember his tires popped?
Yeah.
Then got in a bad car wreck and walked away from it.
And now moved out of his house just in time.
And this is got the number one song this week with this song right here.

She's surprised at the reaction.
I really am.
I was just going out there to kick an extra point.
And now here we are.
They don't really, like, treat me any differently other than I don't go in the locker.
How about that one?
I love that.
Yeah, me too.
So that was in the news.
Congrats to her.
Why are you being a hater?
No, I'm not, is there any
Hater in my voice?
You guys hear a hater in the voice?
Yes, there is.
A little bit, you did.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
Today's the 17th anniversary of 9-11
and we'll tell our personal stories later.
But I was reading a story about some of the celebrities
that had some stories.
For example, Mark Wahlberg.
He was supposed to board American Airlines Flight 11.
Instead, he was invited to attend a film festival last minute
and decided, okay, well, I'm going to charter a jet instead.
And that obviously is one of the planes.
Wow.
And then he got into some crap later because he said if he had been on the plane,
he would have stopped the attacks from happening, which is not the thing to say.
No, definitely not.
He later apologized, but that's one of them.
Seth MacFarlane was supposed to board that flight.
He had been out drinking the night before, and Seth McFarland is the creator of family guy.
They'd been out drinking, and he was late.
he had drank so much.
And so he was late, got there 10 minutes late.
He went to the passenger lounge to sleep off
the fact that he had too much a drink.
He woke up and everybody was screaming.
That is so crazy.
I mean, that's just crazy to think about, like, to know that,
I mean, that's something so obvious that's happening.
It's all over the news and you just have to look at your boarding ticket
and know that you were one incident in your life away from being on that plane.
Rob Lowe flew with the hijackers on their drive.
dry run performed 11 days before September 11th, because they knew a plane those guys that went on
before. Really? And he was on that flight.
What? He said, quote, I flew with the 9-11 hijackers on the dry run without realizing it.
I was shooting the West Wing in D.C. at the time. And I always took the flight that leads
dullest to L.A. that they eventually crashed into the Pentagon. Wow. I didn't know that.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy? So, yeah. Yeah.
we'll be acknowledging that.
And then also let me say to anyone out there who is a first responder,
and we appreciate you,
because at any time something could happen and they got to rush in,
just like they did there,
their life is constantly being ready to put their life on the line.
I know I think about those days,
and they probably went to work that day like they normally do.
Got dressed, left their family,
just like any other day.
And then,
Yeah. So, we'll get into that more later.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
Tell me something good.
Mitch and Ann Smith own a 32-acre farm down in Mississippi.
They're pea farmers.
And for the last 10 years, they designate three acres that land for free peas.
So anybody that can't afford the peas, they just come and they can pick as many peas as they want.
And if you're an...
Wow.
And if you're an elderly person, the outside is...
It's for you.
They leave those so you don't have to go far into the peas to get peas if you're elderly.
Well, I wonder, we talked about this and we have many times about you.
If someone offers something free, you go take it anyway.
If you live by the pea farm, would you go take free peas even though you didn't need them?
Yeah, it says free to the community.
I'm part of their community, so I get free peas.
But I've got to be honest with you, peas are kind of gross.
I don't like peas.
Peas are disgusting.
Yeah.
What are you for?
You guys like peas?
I love peas.
Oh, man.
And I pick around peas if they're in any dish I eat, they're out.
Amy, you like peas?
I mean, I don't mind them.
I like them in, like, stir fry.
You like avocado toast with peas on it?
Peat toast?
You ever have pea toast?
I mean, I'd try it.
That's good.
Yeah.
Well, that's good for them, good for that farm.
Thank you, lunchbox.
That was Tell me something good.

Folks, it's your buddy and my Mr. Bobby Bone.
Right. Good morning. And every morning at this time.
Amy tells a really corny joke and
Here we go.
Morning corny.
What do you call it when prisoners take their own mug shots?
What do you call?
She's already laughing, guys.
Oh, boy, that could be good.
Amy started laughing as she was telling.
Okay.
What do you call it when prisoners
take their own mug shots?
Selfies.
Oh.
Like a gel cell selfies?
Oh, got it, guys.
Selfies.
I mean.
That was the morning corny.
loved that one. Kind of have to look at that on paper, huh?
Well, maybe that's why, because I'm looking at it.
It's now time for the baby changing off, and let's bring in our contestants.
In the blue corner.
In the blue corner.
With a brand new newborn baby.
He's been a member of the show, the longest.
Give it up for lunchbox.
Standing over by him.
Red corner, right corner.
They're in the red corner, the oldest member of our show.
Okay.
He's got two sons, 10 and five.
And he claims he can change a baby's diaper super fast.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Although he never really did it much as a day.
No, do it like five times.
Give it up for producer Eddie!
Yeah!
All right, lunchbox versus Eddie, they have two baby dolls in front of them.
And so each have a diaper beside you.
Yes.
Oh, lunche is the baby's talking.
Oh, now they're both the babies.
They're talking.
So here's the option.
Now, there is a prize here.
You can either win $40 cash.
Okay, okay, I like it, I like it.
Or I will donate $50 in charity if you win.
So we shall decide what you want.
Okay, it's up to you.
So, lunchbox is got a baby, Eddie's got a baby.
Yeah, I got a baby.
Bones, how are you going to judge this?
As soon as your baby's completely wrapped in diaper, just slamming on the table.
Okay.
Just like you were doing in real life.
And that means the baby's done.
Yes.
And Amy will check it.
Now, if the baby's not done up to Amy standard,
the other person should keep diapering
because your baby could actually win.
Oh, I love it. And she's going to be judging
Neatness and...
If the diaper is complete.
Yeah, you can't have room for leakage.
Love it. That's right.
So it's got to be a complete diaper.
But we don't go too tight because you can cut off circulation.
Stop it.
The legs. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I've got it.
I've got a brand new baby. He's done it. He's got the circulation off many times.
All right. Ready, ready. All right.
No, no. Lunchbox.
Got the diapers. We got pamper's here.
What are you doing? Oh, you go into the bag?
When I change a diaper, I got to go in the bag.
You both got to go in the bag.
Here we go. Hands on the table.
Here we go.
Both of your hands flat on the table.
Not in you.
In three.
Whoa, whoa.
Two.
One.
And then we go.
Got it.
They both reached into the diaper.
Eddie's got the lead right now.
Is that Eddie got a good hand?
Oh, Eddie's wrapping.
Uh-oh.
Lunchbox is going around.
Lunchbox is struggling right now.
Yeah, yeah.
Dipper's really big.
Eddie slammed the bag down.
Dead!
Dead!
Eddie slammed.
A lunchbox is still struggling.
Hey, I'm like a roper.
I did it.
And boom.
Yeah, oh, you did.
Now, Amy, inspect the baby.
and lunchbox is still.
Okay, now lunch is done.
All right, Amy, check the diaper.
What do you think, Amy?
There's room for circulation.
Oh, is there?
Okay.
Yeah, I'm doing the finger test, you know?
I check it.
How close this is in the butt?
Is there leaking?
Both of the...
I just say, it looks like little low work and come out the bottom.
No, I actually feel like...
Yeah, Eddie did a good job.
Yeah, Amy!
Eddie came in an eight-second strong.
Eight seconds do it.
Like a bull rider.
Like a bull rider.
Hey a bull right in.
Yes, Amy.
Can I say that I have evaluated lunchboxes that?
Yes, go ahead.
And he took his time, 14 seconds.
And it's better.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That is what I'm talking about.
But it's a speed test.
I'm just giving you props.
Eddie beat you and it's doable, but you do.
You do have mad diaper making skills.
Amy, who is the winner?
Producer Eddie, who videos are videos?
Or lunchbox who lunchboxes are lunchboxes?
Because it is based on time.
Yes.
Oh, come on.
Come on.
That Eddie is the winner.
Yeah.
This shows that I've always known how to change a diaper.
I just chose not to act dumb and not change them.
Listen, I think lunchbox messed up by making them grab out of the back.
Eddie got ahead.
No, no, we're done with the game.
Eddie, you are the winner.
Yeah, thanks, Bob.
You get to choose.
You get $40 in cash for you.
Or you get to donate $50 to a charity.
I mean, I could use $40.
Do what your heart says.
Do what your heart says.
Go ahead.
Give me the $40.
He wants.
Yeah.
I didn't know the same thing, Eddie.
I didn't know the same thing.
I know.
Here he goes.
Wow, you get a helped out plus.
What's your heart says.
All right.
There he is.
There he is.
You take your money.
That video will be up at bobby bones.com.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
Some listeners irritated with me yesterday because I didn't share enough of Miss America stories.
I didn't know that anybody cared.
But I went and I judged Miss America.
I was one of the seven judges and it was fantastic.
I had to go through nine hours.
of Miss America Boot Camp
to learn all about it. And what it was, I had to watch
one part of it was, I had to watch
the 15 finalists speak for 10 minutes each.
That's a lot of videos.
So I didn't pick the top 15. It wasn't in that process.
There were preliminary judges, so they announced the top 15
at the beginning of the show. I had nothing to do with that.
Or Ms. Arkansas would have been in there, and Miss Texas
and Miss Tennessee. And none of them were.
Because those are my places.
They weren't. But then when I got to top 15,
and I was a good judge.
Like, I really tried hard to be a good judge.
I'm going to tell you the part that, ooh, I don't know if I should share this or not.
I had to fight back some bias.
Which I think is normal for humans.
Oh, but it shouldn't get me in trouble because I felt like I combated it properly.
But when people would do rich person things, I was like, oh, you're ballet dancing.
You must be rich.
And I grew up very poor.
And I had to go, you can't do that, Bobby.
So I felt like I was a good judge because even though my heart took me somewhere,
because I always resented people that have money.
Can I give you a little example?
Go ahead.
Because, you know, I would look at something like ice skating as being a rich person sport if you're doing it as a child.
But we learned during that Nancy Kerrigan movie that her mom, like they weren't, they didn't have a lot of money.
Yeah, it was a Tanya Harding.
Oh, yeah.
Nansaii Carey was in the movie.
Tony Hardy was rich.
But her story was, yes, like people can sacrifice things to give their kids like something that seems fancy.
It wasn't fair of me to think that, but I was aware enough to know that.
Okay, good for you.
And so the girl that one was an opera singer, and apparently I was on camera doing this.
they told me don't make any facial expressions
because you can't show unequal
expression to one not to the other
I was the worst at that because
they'd finish I'd be like
oh my god
that was funny to watch
and people kept taking pictures and I got warned
and then I just kept doing it because it was natural
and I only got there because I'm me
yeah this is true so I just kept being me
I should never have credentials do that anyway
so anyway I go up and the other judges
I want to tell you some stories
So Carney Wilson
was one of the judges
And we became friends throughout the day
She's in Wilson Phillips
She has this song
Some day somebody's going to make you want to turn around
And say goodbye
And they want to think
And make you cry
And I said
We even sat together at the table
And I could not stop singing it around her
That song stayed in my head
And even without meaning to
I'd be like
Just not even knowing
Someday somebody's going
And she would look at me
And I would go like
Yeah I should not do that huh
and she was super cool
she was really one of my favorite people
but I probably sang it all day
because I would just look at her
and something would trigger my brain
and I would just start going
someday somebody's going
and turn around and say goodbye
and then I started asking her about it
because she sings the low part
she didn't sing the lead in that song
she sings the low part
but she was really cool
and I was really annoying with that
I could not stop singing it
Hey did you ask her about her dad
I did not but she brought up her dad
at one point yeah because her dad
is from the beach boys
Brian Wilson
What?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah that's her dad
Oh, she did, she had mentioned something about it.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah, yeah.
So that happened.
Randy Jackson from American Idol.
Yeah, yes.
I really felt like he was going to come in and be cooler than everyone because he's Randy Jackson.
He says dog.
Yeah.
He was the nicest human.
Maybe I've ever met, not even celebrity-wise.
Really?
Up there with Amy as far as nice as.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Amy and Randy Jackson.
I'm telling you, he was so awesome.
We would just talk about he loves country music and not even like the poser way where people go like,
I love country music.
Yeah, I love that Luke Bentley.
Yeah.
And you're like, shut up.
But he was like, I love the new Brothers Osborne record.
We're talking about tracks.
We're talking about Eric Church.
That's so cool.
Guys, he was, Randy Jackson was so nice.
Just, Mike D.
Wouldn't you agree?
He was awesome.
He was awesome.
Wow.
There was no pretension, just a good dude.
And so we were together nine hours.
Even before the show started.
So I got, so here's what would happen too, is that we'd watch these
videos and you have to write questions down, what you want to ask them if they get to that section
and they draw your name. So I got in trouble because my questions were too stupid.
No. No. But there's no such thing as that. I thought that too. But I thought, this is what
happened. So someone would go and talk and they'd talk about their platform and I'd write a question
about the platform. Like how do you also plan to encourage female empowerment within, you know,
XYZ? And then I would go, man, your teeth are so white. So I'd go, how did you get your teeth so
white? And I'd write that and send it off. That's a funny question. That's a good question.
But I can see how they thought maybe like that wasn't in the.
But I wasn't doing it.
I really wanted to know and I felt like America wants to know.
So I got in trouble for that.
So Layla Ali, who is one of the judges.
Now, she is Muhammad Ali's daughter.
She's a female world champion boxer.
And there's a lot of things about her that she's done in her career that's been awesome.
And so she's pretty quiet, but she was nice when I would go up and talk to her.
But I was talking to her and I said, hey, Layla, I'm a huge fan.
She was like, you are?
And I said, yeah.
And I think she thought I was going to go to the box.
boxing world. And I said, remember that episode of the George Lopez show where you taught their son
how to box? And she was like, yeah, I said, I love that episode. I watch a Nick at night all the time.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You got her.
I don't know if she liked that much. I don't say what was her reaction. Yeah. I don't know.
That was the reason she wanted to be remembered. But I do believe that if you're a fan of someone,
regardless, you should tell them. And that to me is what kind of bonded me to her.
Amy, well, I guess she's not your real friend. No, I've never met her, but her name's Ali Webb.
She's the founder of the dry bar, which is a place where you can go get your hair blown out, and they're all over the country.
Like, 120 locations.
If we have work events and I don't travel with my hair stuff, like I've gotten and done for work events with Bobby where he's been busy off doing something.
I've gone in Chicago, L.A., New York.
Like, she's just an awesome entrepreneur, and I admire her.
That's my new best friend in life.
She's cool?
The best.
That's what I spent the most time with during the whole trip.
And Amy was so jealous.
I was geeking out.
I didn't even know who she was and she didn't know who I was.
And when I first met her, I said, hey, can I take a picture of me and you so I can send him
my friend Amy?
And she was like, yeah, we were the least famous people there by far because then we knew who we
were.
And so we kind of bonded over that.
Cool.
We went to Denny's afterward.
You did?
Yeah.
Yeah, she's like my new best friend.
That's awesome.
And then, you know, we set up there and we did the judging and we wrote the scores down.
And we really judged.
Like, the person that I picked ended up winning.
Oh, really?
You picked Miss New York?
I gave her the highest score.
Wow.
So they come to you and they draw a name out of a jar.
Did you guys see me ask my question by any chance?
It's good.
And they were supposed to, you're just supposed to ask your question.
But I was like, let me get a book plug in there too.
Because it's like, come on, have a microphone.
Of course.
It's all good.
And so, yeah, here is my question on Miss America.
And all my question said is, tell me about your biggest failure.
That's all supposed to say.
But I know the camera's on me.
What are they going to do?
Turn it off.
Hello.
Hi.
Hey, so I wrote my last book about failure and all the failures that I've been through
and I had a lot of friends share failures with me.
I wonder what is your most challenging and difficult failure that you can share with us that you learn from?
Failure is a funny word because it implies defeat.
And I have had many setbacks in my life, but I'm a firm believer that every setback is a set-up for your comeback.
And from every tribulation that I have faced, every rejection that I have had, I have used that to turn it into how to learn to be a better version of myself.
Thank you.
She didn't answer the question.
Right, because she didn't give you a specific failure.
So does she know anything like that that type of question is coming?
No.
No, they know nothing.
That was an amazing answer for that.
But they're elite of that.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
Yeah, I would have docked her points because she just read.
I didn't talk her, but I didn't rate her high.
She rephrased the question and just babbled for about 15 seconds and then.
And that's why I didn't give her a good score.
I get that.
Some of them answer the questions straight up.
Oh.
But it's tough.
It's supposed to be tough because you're in the elite of the most elite competition.
And if they don't call it a pageant anymore, it's like a job interview.
And it's a real job.
It pays like six figures.
And you go for, yeah, it's a real thing.
So I found my experience enjoyable.
Any questions that you guys had about the show?
Randy Jackson.
Yes, go ahead.
Get his number?
Yes, I have his number.
Dude, we trade cell phone number.
He's like, call me anytime you want.
Call.
Call.
No, I'm not calling right now.
Not right now.
It's too early in the morning.
He lives in L.A.
You're talking about it's 5 o'clock in the morning there.
What does Randy Jackson do?
Oh, a lot.
He manages like eight artists.
Really?
He manages chefs.
He produces records.
He does so much.
When he got brought into American Idol, he was the guy that you weren't supposed to know.
But he had done so much because he used to play in the band for, like, Mariah Carey,
went in Houston, played bass.
Like, they brought him as the expert, never to be a personality.
He just turned into a personality.
Oh, dude, genius in music.
We were with Jesse James Decker, who I become friends with, too.
Oh, really?
He was talking about music.
and he was having to judge those singers on Miss America
and he's like, I feel like this American Idol again.
And I'm like going to say who he thought was good and who didn't.
But it was pretty open.
The whole place, the Miss America organization, was fantastic.
They were just, it was great.
Is it something where judges go back again?
Like, do you think you'd ever do it again?
Or is it like, do they switch out judges every year?
It's a lot of work and they didn't pay anything.
And it was a Sunday night, so it hurt the show a bit where I was just exhausted yesterday.
I don't know if I would do it again.
I would host it next year.
I think there's a shot I host it next year.
Yeah, real talk, real talk.
The guy that was up there, like, you could do that job, right?
I don't care about him.
The girl that was doing it.
Oh, you want to do the girl's job.
Yeah, and she did a good job, but I wanted to do the main job.
That's not trying to be a side person.
Oh, I just, I'll be the side person.
I saw him, I was watching, I'm like, you don't know who that is?
No, I don't know who that is.
I was like, Bones could kill that position right there.
Oh, well, you know how it is, dude.
There you go.
Struggle, man.
Thank you.
Anyway, I wanted to share that with you guys.
Amy, you have two kids.
Yeah, your son is.
Eight.
And your daughter is...
11.
And do you worry because I was reading this story about bulletproof backpacks?
Even cross your mind at all?
I mean, I certainly haven't thought about buying them one, but I've seen that they're available
in the news.
I don't know.
How much are they?
Well, mostly it's an insert.
So you have a backpack that has an insert spot in it, then you have to buy the inserts.
So they're about 200 bucks.
Oh, wow.
School officials in Wisconsin, they're the ones dealing with us now because they're going to
going, I don't think this is the thing, because some kids are showing up with them.
Yeah.
They cost about $200.
The company also sells $800 protection vest for teachers.
Oh, my goodness.
Okay, wow.
I mean, gosh, this just makes me think of school as, like, such a scary place.
And, of course, every time there's a shooting, we're reminded that it can be, but then
a little bit of time goes by and you just kind of send your kids off to school, like, okay.
They do do do shooting drills now at school.
They do.
Yes.
Active shooter.
What's that drill?
So your kids, what do they do you know?
My kids aren't.
They're not in a place to explain to me what's really happening.
I don't know if anybody else may better know.
But, I mean, they prepare for active shooter what they would do, I guess, a scenario.
Eddie may know.
My little one has something called a lollipop drill.
And it's like they say, hey, there's lollipops in the restroom.
And they all go to the restroom and they file up.
They don't say anything about being a shooter, but they all think they're going in there to get a treat.
But they know what it is.
It's a code word.
That's code word.
Wow. That's nutty.
I know.
Your kids, Amy, how's your kids?
By the way, if you're new to the show, Amy has two kids and they were adopted from Haiti at the first of the year.
Yep.
How is their English coming?
It's coming along.
I know I went through a season, maybe like last week where I was thinking their English was really awesome.
But friends like Bobby and other people brought to my attention that I'm just getting better at understanding them.
Uh-huh.
And it's definitely getting better.
but we're bringing on extra tutoring, like starting next week, I think.
So someone will come to our house twice a week or three times a week to work with them after school.
It's a woman here that speaks English.
Does they like learning English or they feel like they already know it all?
Oh, no.
I don't, well, they don't really know the tutor's coming.
So they don't know more learning is coming.
But there's so much more learning happening in their future right now because we realize like how behind we are that, I mean, it's about to get real.
There's no more like two-hour bike rides and Netflix.
Like my daughter's going to be like, what happened to Netflix?
I'd be like, sorry, you need to know five times five.
It's time for the good news.
Tell me something good.
This woman in California, her name's Char.
She decided to donate a kidney.
Now, it wasn't because she had a recipient in mine.
Apparently she had just seen a couple stories on the news about how people need the kidneys.
And she wanted to do something kind for someone in need.
and so she goes to the hospital
and they take both people in at the same time
because they take the kidney out. And I'm not super familiar
with the process of actually donating a kidney
but they're both in and
they let them meet each other and it was her neighbor
from two houses down. She had no idea. Oh wow.
That's crazy. It's like a game
show like meet your kidney today. It's like,
oh, I know you! So yeah, look at that.
And so even Richard, the dude
who was getting the kidney
thought he was getting it from a stranger and whenever they went and met
they were like, wait, you look two houses down
for me. And so now they're cool, obviously. They're like BFFs. You kind of have to be BFFs with
them, right? It gives you your kidney. Oh, yeah, I think. And sometimes people end up getting married.
No, this person's really old, though. I mean, listen, what do I know? Yeah. They can still get married,
nothing wrong with whatever. No ages in here. I thought that was a pretty good story.
I love it. She wanted to give a kidney, which was awesome. She gave it and then ended up being her
neighbor. So there you go. Thank you. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Your buddy and mind.
Mr. Bobby Bones.
September 11th, attacks happened 17 years ago today.
I had a couple artists talking about where they were.
Here is Jake Owen talking about it.
My teacher putting up on the big screen, you know, he's like, man, some idiot.
His flu his personal plane into a trade center.
And as they talked more and more about it, we realized, no, that's not a personal plane.
I was an airliner.
And then next thing you know, you hear people, oh, another one's coming, another one's coming.
and me and about 600 other students in that class were just dead silent watching it.
Here's Zach Brown talking about it.
And I realized that, you know, how fleeting that life can possibly be.
And I realized on that day that I would never not not do what I love to do every day of my life.
And I quit school that day.
He quit school because he's like, I just got to live my life or how I want to live my life.
I remember, so I'll tell my story.
I was at Henderson State University in southern Arkansas.
and I remember being in the school library on September 11th.
I was on the computer and I was probably on some sort of research.
And so a librarian comes up to me and goes,
hey man, you may want to go check out the TV.
Something just happened.
And I was like, first of all, why is a librarian talking to me?
Secondly, what?
And so I thought it was so weird
that a librarian would leave and start telling people something's up.
So walk over and one by one, we start to gather around this very small TV in the corner of the library that met the student union.
And the first plane had already hit.
That's how that they knew.
And then we kind of watched the second plane hit because the news was up.
And you know, it's wild to think, because now we've seen the news so many times what we really saw versus what we've just seen over and over again.
Right.
But I do feel like we saw the second plane because they had the camera up.
And we saw it, we were like, oh, and it still didn't, it didn't sink in what was really, really, really happening.
And so, and then it just kind of all became a blur.
And we were going, and then you look back and there were like seven of us, then 27 of us.
And then you look at there, there are 200 people around looking at all the TVs in the student union.
And so we went to class still not really knowing what was going on.
And they were like, hey, we're not having class.
And that's from going home watching TV.
And it was nonstop.
it was people
I didn't want to
really get into it so much
because it makes me feel
um
makes me feel a bit lost again
because I felt very lost then
like what's happening
where are we
what are these people supposed to do
because they were jumping out of the buildings
and
for just weeks
everyone was so sad
everyone was so sad.
And I remember watching the news clips of the firefighters covered in all the things, soot, dirt,
just running towards the buildings thinking, oh my God, like, thank goodness people are going in to try to help people.
And a lot of them didn't make it out.
And you know what?
I think that's really where my appreciation stems, like my just deep appreciation for first response.
I think it all roots back to that in me just going, wow, I can't believe people are actually
just really going in to save people, risking their own lives, losing their own life to save people.
I think that's the root of just my deep, pure appreciation because I don't have that.
I don't have that gene of just, I got you.
I would run.
Like I know me.
I would run.
And so that's where I was.
I was at school.
I was, that's from 11th.
sophomore in college.
It was crazy.
I just remember so vividly
with a librarian coming over.
You remember yours?
Yeah.
I didn't have morning classes
that day,
so I never even made it to campus
that day because school was canceled
by the time my classes
would have started.
And I went over to my boyfriend's house
and I remember sitting down
with his roommate,
which was a childhood friend of mine,
known him forever,
and we all just sat there
and watched the TV,
watched it unfold
and kind of waited for
I can't remember how long, like, campus was, I guess, essentially they were calling it like a lockdown, you know, like no one was allowed to go.
So we all just kind of had off and watched the news and then resumed classes shortly after, but it was a very somber feel.
Did it affect your husband in a way?
Was he in the Air Force Academy at the time?
He had already graduated.
He was at pilot training in Texas.
So he was in the military when it happened?
He actually was taking his exam, his pilot training exam.
So you go to the Air Force Academy.
Then after that, you're now, you're in the Air Force.
You say you want to be a pilot.
They go pick out, okay, you get tested for what kind of plane are you going to fly?
And so he was doing all that stuff, which was in South Texas.
So what do he say about it?
Because he was in the military as it happened.
Yeah, so at that point.
So he has been at, so since 2001 he's been at war.
I mean, in my mind, I'm like, there's not a year since 2001.
I don't think that he hasn't been in Afghanistan or the Middle East or Africa or something involving terrorist activity.
Lunchbox?
I was asleep in my apartment in San Antonio and I get a, the phone keeps ringing.
That's when I had a home phone.
It kept ringing and ringing.
Go to voicemail or answer machine and then call back.
And so finally, I get out of bed and I answer it in my.
roommate at the time John, it was his girlfriend, Alicia, and she was like, hey, is John there?
I said, no, she goes, well, you might want to go turn on the TV because something just happened
at the World Trade Center. And so I, okay, and I hung up the phone, and I went and sat on the
couch in the living room, and I just sat there and watched and just watched the news coverage
over and over. Both planes had already hit by the time I had woken up, and I just could not believe
it. My roommate came home that day, John, and he went and met with a recruiter for the Marines,
And he signed up for the Marines that summer.
Yeah.
Well, to all the first responders and all of our military,
past and present and even future,
you're listening right now, you're thinking about it, we appreciate you.
We really, really do.
I know we say it a lot.
Sometimes I feel like, sometimes I feel like we don't say it enough.
Sometimes I feel like I say it so much.
People just want to say, shut up, Bobby.
But, you know, I think it's a good time to remember the people,
first of all, that died and shouldn't have.
And secondly, the people that went to help all the people.
Like, they were so, from such an awful, awful situation,
you saw people united and working together.
To go visit in New York at the 9-11 Memorial that's now there,
it's, I've gone with my husband and it's like one of the craziest feelings ever
to just sit there and like look at all those names.
If you ever have a chance to go, I mean, it's,
it's good to go and pay respect.
I know our show is usually pretty dopey
and we do funny stuff.
I felt like we should,
and we've talked about it a bit,
but I wanted to talk and I'll tell our stories
and I'm sure you have your story
and I hope you share it with someone
and I hope maybe you do something good
for somebody today.
You know, sometimes you just need a reason
to remember that, hey, life ain't so bad.
You know, it's actually pretty good.
Pretty good for us right now.
Us meaning you're listening right now,
pretty good.
Go help somebody out.
It's a Bobby Bones show.
Man, this woman that gave birth in her car, so nutty.
This is her after she gave birth.
She had the baby.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my goodness.
We just delivered a baby in the car.
Oh, my God.
Mama, you did it?
Oh, my goodness.
I can't believe that just happened.
Wow.
No, no, no, no.
The crazy part is the car is moving.
He is driving to the hospital, the husband.
And she is on her knees in the passenger scene.
She's like, you've got to pull her.
We've got to pull her.
And the baby comes out.
There are kids in the back seat.
Wow.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's in Texas.
It is unbelievable.
She's on her knees facing the back of the car.
And the baby just comes right out.
And wow.
It is an intense video.
We'll put it up at bobbybones.com.
And on our Facebook page.
point he says, hey, can you wait a couple
minutes? Do you see that? Yeah.
But that's not how it works, guys.
I'm baby. She doesn't. Mm-mm.
And that works. The mom actually
catches the newborn as it's coming out.
Yes, I'm telling you, she's on her knees, facing the back, and she's
the one that does everything. Well, yeah,
he's driving. He's like, hey, hold on a minute.
So you know kids always ask, like,
where do babies come from?
There's two kids in the back.
They got that lesson.
Let's go over to Morgan number two,
who's our head of digital. She runs all our social
media, our website, and she's 24 years old.
If you're a huge Hello Kitty fan, then this is for you.
Good, good.
The first Hello Kitty Grand Cafe opened in California.
So what is in the Hello Kitty Grand Cafe?
Well, Hello Kitty is a brand of stuffed animals and all these cool things.
So the cafe is made up of Hello Kitty themed items.
I had an ex-girlfriend who was fascinated with Hello Kitty.
Just loved it.
And I thought that was weird.
But then we all love weird things too.
Around the room, what weird thing do you love?
That people would be like, what?
That's kind of weird.
Lunchbox?
We should all assign them to each other because we're all going.
Our thing's on weird.
Lunchbox loves teen mom and all those MTV pregnancy shows.
Yeah.
That's definitely weird.
I'll do Amy.
Amy is obsessed with like making her own deodorant out of chemicals and her, like, plants in her backyard.
She doesn't have a microwave.
Yeah.
All the weird.
What's wrong with that?
Granola stuff.
Like she's obsessed with it.
I'm like the non-hip hippie as hippie.
Yeah.
That's Amy.
What about me?
Bobby is obsessed with work.
Yeah.
That's weird, no, no, no.
Really, his thing is time.
Like, if you're not on, if you're not early.
It's like, I mean, he just has this obsession with time and clocks.
Here's why.
Why?
Because if you can't do the little things right, like be on time somewhere, you can't do the big things right, like run a company.
or work for me.
Man, it is.
It's pretty annoying.
But yes, I'm obsessed with it.
There you go.
Hey, Morgan number two, thank you very much.
For sure.
I'm having a lot of difficulty
throwing out old underwear.
Why?
I don't know.
Amy, I'm going through my drawer.
I have underwear
that I've had for 15 years.
And I'm going,
ooh, I'll know if I should throw those out.
Like, I've just...
Do they fit just right?
Some of them are a little big.
Oh.
But I've just had them for so long.
I'm so loyal to my things.
And they have holes in them.
And I'm a Fruit of the Lume or a Haynes guy for the most part.
And it just reminds me of where I come from.
You guys know, like, I keep a picture on my street sign from my hometown.
Population 700.
I have my grandma, my mom tattooed in my arm.
I feel like this is definitely deeper than just the underwear.
It is.
I've had these underwear since I couldn't afford to pay rent in an apartment
in Archadelphia, Arkansas.
Like, I know that's gross.
I know that's gross, but I can't.
I was having trouble.
And I threw some of them out, but some of them I kept.
And the bands are all broken.
So what's wrong with keeping them, you know, just because, just for memory's sake.
Why?
I shouldn't.
Why not frame them and put them on the wall?
Yeah, it gets a good point.
Oh, you know what I heard?
I heard you washed a pair of your jeans you wear all the time for the first time in a year.
Yeah, one year, two months.
I bought them last July, and I had never washed them because they were my good,
pair of jeans and you don't wash
I don't wash my clothes a lot because
once you wash them they get worn out
and that's when you have to buy a new one so I go as long
as I can without washing them so I went
one year two months without washing them
the other day I put them on and I could smell them
and I said
and to make sure that they were the jeans I took them
and sniffed them did the sniff test and I was like
yeah I need to wash these
because sometimes it's hot outside you sweat in them
okay we don't need the details
but one year two months
Pretty good.
Did you ever put them in the freezer during that time?
No, no, no.
I would just hang them back up in the closet or throw them on the ground,
pick them up when I'd wear them the next time.
You just throw them on the ground.
All the time.
Do you still take your soccer clothes off after you play rec soccer?
Just throw them on the porch and leave them there and then put them on again?
Yeah.
And I sniff my shin guards every time I put them off.
Why?
I don't know.
Sort of like every time you take off your socks, you sniff them.
No, I don't think I ever have.
I don't either, really.
Every single time I take off socks, I smell them.
That's gross.
I don't know why.
That's gross.
That's normal.
So anyways.
My jeans are now clean, so.
I don't feel so weird now with my underwear.
Yeah, definitely.
Like, you're good.
Like, keep your underwear.
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, what's happening, guys?
You know, you're on your phone.
You're always tinking around trying to find stuff to do.
There's a lot of games.
A lot of apps out there.
But I'll say this, there's only one Best Fiends.
And if you're like me, you're tired of the same old apps on your phone.
And let me recommend to you the puzzle game, Best Fiends.
There's a.
ton, they've been saying infinite amount of challenging puzzles, thousands of levels to play,
and tons of characters to collect. It's the perfect game to play whenever you want. You can play
family, friends, by yourself. Either way, you won't get bored. And you won't be using your
thumb going, ah, there's nothing to do on my phone. The best part, you can even play without
internet connection, so you can play literally anytime, anywhere. Morgan number two plays it
before the show starts. I catch myself playing Best Fiends, just all the time, sitting somewhere,
play some Best Fiends. Give it a try. And you can tell me where you're
catch yourself playing best fiends.
Download best fiends for free on the app store or Google Play Today.
That's Friends Without the R.
Best fiends and you can be part of the club.
Folks, it's your buddy and my...
Mr. Bobby Bones.
Hey, what's happening? Thanks for hanging out with us all show long.
We've talked about some stuff.
Let me say this. I've been getting a little pushback about my women and country music show.
Why?
I don't know.
It's mostly, honest to God, white male middle-aged men who are so upset about me doing this show.
Listen, I don't program music nationally.
I don't even program music on the show.
Sometimes I'll play songs I like.
I'm not a music guy.
Listen, I love music, but I didn't get into programming.
I'm here to create content.
I'm here to give back.
I'm here to be funny, to be sad, to do things, to make people feel like that's what
I'm here to do.
And so when they made me a VP of the company, it was not to program music, but it was
to create shows.
So I said, hey, I have this show idea where we can take and highlight women in
country music. Since I don't program nationally, you have no influence there, I can make a show and
just make everybody have to play the show. So on the show, I play women in country music that have
had huge hits in the past to just remind people how good it is. Women are on the chart now
to move him up the chart. So when he moves up the chart, other stations have to play them because
are too high up the chart and then to introduce women. And then, yeah, I'm telling you, I'm getting
some serious pushback. And some people are like, well, why don't you just make it all even anyway?
And I'm like, I don't have the influence to do that. And no one does because it's all.
It's like 20 radio companies.
And they're all doing,
and I think they're all doing a bit better.
And again, I speak out against my own all the time.
And I do think everyone's doing a bit better,
but there's a long way to go.
But I'm getting some serious pushback.
And I'm not going to stop.
Like, I'm just not going to stop.
You program directors out there,
it's none of my people.
It's other companies.
It's crazy.
It's unfortunate.
But I will not stop doing the show.
I will not stop highlight.
inviting women and I hope that it does make things more equal.
But you just can't go, things are equal now, we're just going to start.
This is not, the reality, it's not pragmatic to think that.
All of a sudden, someone's going to go with me.
So what I've done is I've kind of kicked the bottom of a door in going, we're about to come in.
Me and all my, I'm not even a woman.
I feel like a woman.
I do.
I do.
Honestly.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I do.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.
But it's difficult.
If I'm being completely transparent, it's been difficult for me because it's been very tumultuous over the
the past few weeks from men in country music and not just radio programmers but people in radio
people in it's been tough so have you responded to i sent a couple personal messages
honest and sincere and like which i think is the best thing that you can do and said hey i and some
people were posting things without mentioning me but it's like sub tweeting me and i'm like hey i know
that's about me let's talk about this why you're upset about it because i just believe that
as i say lean into the uncomfortable and it makes it comfortable quicker
meaning some doesn't feel good.
If you just go ahead and lean into it and get out of the way,
it becomes comfortable much quicker
and just got to get comfortable eventually anyway.
But all I want to say is I'm not stopping.
If anything, I'll make it two hours long in 2019.
Oh, show them.
Take that.
But I don't have the ability to program music on radio stations.
Even on this show, I can play music.
But mostly the few songs that we do play are the biggest hits at the time.
And then I break new artists.
But that's all. I'm done.
I'm off my horse.
I'm going to go over to Amy and get her pile now.
Motion.
Here's Amy's pile of stories.
So I saw this headline, and I just thought it was crazy.
But the University of Alabama's football practice fields, they're near apartment complexes.
And people who live there, they have it in their leases that they can't watch the practices.
So if Alabama is practicing football, they cannot be on their patio.
And they signed a contract.
And if they're on the patio, they get, you know, probably fined or whatever.
Isn't that crazy?
They get a demerit?
That's crazy.
I didn't know that.
When I saw the headline and I was like, there's no way this can be real, but it got me to click.
And then I clicked and I read about it.
And there was some of the football players were even commenting.
They're like, who's Cedric?
Is that somebody from University of Alabama?
Cedric?
Never mind.
The entertainer.
So let me say this about sports.
There's a fantastic podcast called The Soor Losers podcast.
Have you all talked about this?
Lunchbox.
No.
No, I had no idea about that.
Eddie and Ray do.
And they do it four days a week.
I mean, it's sports.
So if you're listening and you like sports, I would encourage you to search for the sore losers.
It's really a good show.
But I would like to say to that,
I hear that you guys try to get Tim Tebow
and he turns you guys down?
Yeah, unfortunately.
Here's Raymondo.
Ramo from the sore losers.
Yeah, they kept saying Bobby this.
So Bobby's doing the interview.
Bobby, and then I kind of had to tell him.
It's actually the podcast that we do after the Bobby Bowl show.
I said you have a lot of traveling you do,
and I said we'd love to have Tim Tebow.
And the lady said, that's cute.
It's a podcast where they respectfully declined.
Oh, man.
You guys beat up by that?
I just find it out right now
But yeah
All right, Tebow, I'm not buying your new book
I like Tim Tebow
I love Tim Tebow
I do
I like him I love him
What's more of them
I do
I love Tim Tebow
He's a good story
I'll put him on
Hey
Can you get him on this show
Tim Tebow
I love talk to him
Bring him in
Yeah
Then you can stay afterwards
For maybe 30 minutes
Then we can
No new podcast
Yay
All right
What else Sam
Okay so heads up
We'll just trick them into it
You guys
You guys
And we'll edit it out of the show
And put it in your podcast
Yes
Yes
This is good
So if you're like
looking for some extra cash. There's a company hiring someone to watch TV for $20 an hour starting
this fall. You can hit up HowtoWatch.com and you could get picked as a lucky applicant,
the lucky candidate that gets chosen. Literally, all you have to do is watch. You get to watch
100 hours of TV starting this October across eight different streaming platforms and you get like
$2,000. Listen. If you're into watching TV, you might as well get paid to do it.
Some of these jobs that they pay people to do, they must have,
10,000 people will apply for them.
What else you got?
But somebody gets lucky.
I know.
Could be one of our listeners.
Could be you.
What else?
Okay, so speaking of watching TV, I don't know if you're a family that kind of is
gravitated towards eating meals in front of the TV as a family, but I just wanted to
remind you that try to have some meals around the table as a family because it is important
to your kids' emotional and physical development.
They'll likely eat healthier so they're less likely to gain weight.
And they're going to engage in conversation with you as a family.
And I will say, as a new mom, the last eight months, our life has been pretty hectic.
But the time that the four of us, my husband, me and my kids do sit down at the table, I swear to you, it's like our best nights ever.
Oh, yeah?
And I, so I'm like my own little experiment with this study that was done is that if you can do it, try to find at least a day or two out of the week that y'all can gather around the table because I think it's healthy.
Good.
I mean, that's my pile.
That was Amy's pile of stories.
Bobby boom, come on.
Well, what a show today.
I'll tell you, we had the baby diaper off between lunchbox and Ed.
Yeah.
Which was good.
You should go back and listen to that on the podcast.
We had a really fantastic game of Amy versus Lunchbox.
We've played a lot of verses today, yeah?
Yeah.
Well, games against each other.
I got to tell some more Miss America stories that I didn't tell the day before.
I didn't think anybody cared, but yeah, pretty interesting.
When I judge Miss America, just go back and search Bobby Bone Show on demand.
I love for you to check that out.
Amy, what's up with you today?
Here we are.
It's a fine Tuesday.
Yeah, fine Tuesday.
I'm just working out, working on the show of some, and then grab my kids from school and hang out with them.
Work on their English.
Yeah.
Still trying to get that down.
What about you?
I am headed to New York.
I'll be working from New York tomorrow.
Oh, okay.
Got a big announcement, you know?
Yeah.
Maybe the worst kept secret in the world.
But that's all, that's it for now.
That's all I can say for now.
So, yeah, that are happening tomorrow.
But, hey, listen, thank you so much.
There are a thousand things you can listen to.
We appreciate you listening to us.
Bobby bones.com. Check it out. Everything we talk about should be up there in some form or fashion.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And see tomorrow.
