The Bobby Bones. Hey, welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning, studio. Morning. So glad everybody's here. Amy, how are you? Doing good. How are you?

Yeah, I'm pretty good. Dealing with this allergy thing still. You know, I'm going to tell you, I really had a gratitude moment, though. I struggle with gratitude because I am, I feel like I've had to, like, work harder than everybody else to get to where I am. And it's not fair for me to think this way. But I reduce it. I'm in therapy talking about it too. And I'm like, why do I struggle so much with gratitude?

I had to like scratch and claw for every single thing I have. And but I do, I'm getting, this is a small thing that kind of rolls into a bigger thing. But I do have allergies right now that are creeping in. But I'm just so happy that it didn't hit me the entire year. Like no big, St. Jude, I had my voice. For all my idol taping, I have my voice, for everything else. So if it starts to hit me now, I'm very grateful that it's picked like the Christmas. I would love to be sick on vacation.

not sick while I work. Also, my therapist says that's twisted. That I'm like, just made me sick all vacation. I'm fine with it as long as I'm not sick for work. Yeah. But I have a lot of gratitude that I did not get sick. And you know, another story was I was with, have I talked about Ray, Ray's in Bay, that whole story? I forget what I talk about on the air and off. But here, my story was, so Ray's girlfriend, Bay fought cancer, breast cancer. And by the way, beat it. Right. Do you guys say you beat it? Oh, she beat it, man.

But someone who was kind of mentoring her through that was our friend Leslie, who had breast cancer and beat it as well. And I was with Leslie and we were having dinner. And she was like, you know, I met a woman who's struggling with breast cancer right now and she's like 27 and has two kids and it's really hit her hard. It's stage four. And she goes, and there was no reason for her to get picked for it except that she just got the bad draw. You know, genetic or whatever happened.

Like she, it just sucks for her. That's the kind of stuff that I've been able to see how dumb I am and not being, having gratitude for things. It took like an allergy hit to remind me, oh yeah. Like, I'm healthy. I'm not fighting breast cancer or like your dad, he got throat cancer out of nowhere. Like a lot of people in our life. So, I mean, boy, this took a turn quickly.

Hi, everybody. Good morning. Good morning. But I do, I have a little gratitude right now that on a very, very surface level that I'm just now starting to get like sick, like allergy sick. Because Christmas time, who gives a crap? I'll be off the air and a week and a half anyway. Well, yeah, that's awesome to recognize it. Thank you.

Thank you. I do feel like it's awesome too. Because I, my therapist will walk me up to stuff. Yeah. She'll be like, how do you do with gratitude? You know, I've eliminated a lot of resentment from my life because I used to be real resentful of going up without a dad and a mom being an addict, have to raise myself and growing up poor and all of this.

But now I look at it as I'm so strong because. of that. But then I'm like, I've had to earn everything. And, but then again, I got lucky enough to be healthy. I got lucky enough to be born where I was born. Like, imagine if I wasn't born in a, like your kids, they were born in Haiti. You didn't have a lot of options. So I do have it. This whole thing comes back around where it does come back. And it's always been there. I just didn't know I had it. I had to be talked into it. And the more you do it, the more you'll see that you can find it. Absolutely. Every day. Yes, thank you.

But I just walked us down the road right. I didn't feel like I had it, but I do have a lot of it. You do. And I would encourage everybody else that sometimes gets bitter like me to go, okay, you know what? You have to be grateful for a lot of things. You're probably not even thinking about right now. Like there's so much that we're not even thankful for because, for example, I'm going to go back to getting sick for a second. You know how when you get a cold or you get sick and you're like, man, the next time I'm healthy, I'm going to appreciate it so much.

When my nose is clear and I'm not vomiting, I'm just going to love life so. I'm going to appreciate it every minute that I'm healthy because it's like, but then you get healthy and you're like, you don't even care anymore. It's like, woo, life is what it is. You should be, take a second and be like, I'm just grateful that I'm not sick right now. Are everybody doing?

That's good stuff. I'm thankful right now. Yes, so am I. Yep. It's like post- Thanksgiving right now. Okay, we'll do what's the haps coming up in a little bit. We were going to get into it there. I really had a good life lesson.

Well, for me, I mean, people come on all the time and they're like, oh, Bobby, you're such a good. role model, you do everything, you're such positive. I'm a normal human. I have to find my ways to get to these places. But I do put in the work to get there. Because I do, again, I've had bitter butt a long time for, which by the way, just made up that term too, having bitter butt.

So feel free to use that as you want. Don't write that down. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know, I'm no saint. Kind of sometimes I am. But I'm not. But don't get it twisted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, let's get going here. Good morning, everybody.

take a second and be grateful for something that you didn't even think about because you're too busy worried about the other things to even be grateful for the things that you have handed to you or even your health. Is that why you were, it's hard for you to have the gratitude for things in your life because you feel like you've worked so hard for them? Not even just work. So it's like, why am I going to be having for something I had to hustle for? Yes. Like I've been blessing my blood. Like, why am I going to be grateful that, like I've had to bust every part of my body for every second of my life to get all this crap? I'm supposed to be grateful for it.

How about I work for it and I deserve? That's my mindset. Okay. Now I, yeah, I was trying to process what you're saying because I was like, wow, yeah, because you have a house, you have a car. Like, some people don't have any of that. And I didn't. But your mindset was, yeah, I have a house, but I work for it.

Yeah. I was a trailer park kid. Yeah, I know. Okay. I see. I see. Yeah. I was like, somebody wants to hate on me for having something.

Yeah, get out and hustle. Anyway, but I'm grateful. Okay. Yeah, go forward. Yeah, yeah. But anyway. Bobby Bones show. Big three stories.

APUS. Dot, E-D-U-S-Military. All right, so what happened? So my daughter, Stasheera and I were shopping at Target. In the shoe section there, the way you try on shoes, is just like open boxes everywhere and you try them on. It's like free-for-all. And I'm around the corner trying on something else.

And she's like, Mom, Mom, I want these. She comes around the corner with these super cute boots on. And I'm like, those are. cute. We should get those. Where, where, where are they? Where can we find the box? She's like, I don't know. And then I see this woman coming around the corner. She's on the phone and she's like, where are my boots? She was trying on boots. So she had her boots that she wore from home sitting in the floor while she was trying on other boots. That's pretty funny. And Stasheer happened upon them, thought they were, which they were, and put them on. And how did you get out of that

situation. I just was like, there was the girl and then there was Stasheera and I was like Stasheera. I was like, those are her boots and she goes, oh, well how was I supposed to know? I mean, she's real matter of fact about it. She's like, I didn't do because I was mortified so I made it like a big deal and Stasheera literally just looked at me

and was like, Mom, this is how was I supposed to know? This is not my fault. And I was like, you're right, it's not let's just go. Take the boots off, let's go. Was the woman upset or was she? No, she was fine but it was comical. If anything, she should have taken it as a compliment. We both were like complimented her boots.

Super cute. Your daughter's really good on TikTok though. Yeah, she is. Yeah. I love that it's like doing, she's a little director. She puts together scenes now. She uses different people and props in the house. The one with your son and your dog?

Yeah. It's like a love story of Amy's son and her dog and Amy's daughter did the videos. Anyway, you can, I'm at Mr. Bobby Bones on TikTok and Instagram and Twitter. Although Amy, your name on TikTok's weird. It's a whole different name. It's radio Amy seven. I thought there were six Radio Amies before. I thought I had Radio Amy and I was telling people I'm Radio Amy, I'm Radio Amy.

And then I noticed that I have a seven by my name. And I guess when I signed up, Radio Amy must have been taken. And by default, they just gave me the seven and I never, it's TikTok's new to me. You're going to pick a number though. But I didn't notice. Radio Amy 69. Oh, duh. But I didn't notice.

Folks it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby Bones. What's happening? Let's go around the room now and see what's happening with everyone in a segment we call What's the Haps? Hey, what's the Hats? I've been using this app

to walk my dog again and it's pretty fantastic because what you do is I downloaded it and then they background check all the people and then they do their own check of all the people and then they show up at your house and you just give them your dog and so what happens for me is when I ride my bike at my house my dog likes to eat my feet he just thinks that's hilarious when I'm spinning my feet he just tries to attack him and then if I shut the door he can hear me and just barks the whole time so I was like how do I fix this. What I do is I downloaded this app.

I only want to say what the app is yet because I'm not sure I'm not sure we fall on that. Okay. And I've only done it a few times. But they go and you watch them walk the dog like geo location. Like you see, they just walk from your house. And I picked an hour walk. It's 25 bucks. That's a nice walk. Yeah.

I get my full workout in though. So they did an hour walk with my dog and then they do like the distance. One point, the one from yesterday. I don't do it every day. But one point. 8, 6 miles a walk. And by the way, he's a bulldog. So that helps wear him out too, which is great.

He walked for 62 minutes, and they put up a moh. He did poo, and they show where on the map he poot. They show where? Yeah, they show where he poops. Yeah, they put like a splash or bloom, like in the walking trail that they're on.

They did pee, and that you get a report card at the end. Stanley's very sweet and energetic. Love to sniff around the bushes. I enjoy walking him. And so I've had the same walker now three times. It's a college girl that shows up to the house. and walks a dog.

But it's pretty legit because I don't like putting my dog away when I have to work out and he can use that hour walk. And, I mean, I... And you don't have time

to do an hour bike ride and an hour dog walk. Well, I do try to take him in the backyard and play with him. Right. But I rarely go walk him around the neighborhood. I'm like a big walk guy.

I don't like to walk with me. I like to walk with a girlfriend. What? I don't like walking. Oh, I love walking. But anyway, I've been using this app a little bit. When I do determine

after like five uses that it's pretty good, I'll come back and tell you guys what it is. I want to get the full lay in. Yeah, that sounds cool, though. And also my dog is now back to biting again. Not snap biting, but just like chewing on human feet and skin.

I don't know. He's like, can you teeth again at a year? He's not even a year old. He's not even a year old. He's 10 months old. Put hot sauce on your feet. He's out of control. Out of control. That's what's the haps with me.

Hey, what's the hats? Amy, what's up? So I ate out of a queso fountain, and it changed my life. So it's like a chocolate fountain. You've seen those all over the place. you put like, I don't know, some angel hair cake or strawberries under there, and it's amazing. Well, picture this. A bar, like a table set up with chips scattered around the table.

It's called a nacho bar. Wow. And you just grab the chips and there's a queso fountain flowing with cheese. And I don't even really do cheese often. But, I mean, you can't say no to a queso fountain. I'm looking at it now. I imagine if you left this thing out, though. Yeah.

Dry up. Yeah, that would be bad. Don't do that. We had Morgan number two and I have. had queso the other night at a Mexican restaurant that she liked. In a fountain. Oh, it's so good. It wasn't in a fountain.

It was in a skillet, though, which is probably the second best kind of queso. Fountain, then skillet, then bowl. But just like, I don't know. I just thought if you're throwing a party or reception or something and you've got a fountain, like go, be different. Don't do chocolate, do queso. What would you prefer, though, a chocolate or a queso? Koso.

Yeah, me too, I think. Yeah, I already know, because I've had both. And now that I've had queso, and this was so new to me. I'm sure this is like a thing, but I don't know. It's new to me. so I thought I'd tell you all about it is legit. All right, there you go. Hey, lunchbox.

What's the hat? Over to you. Man, my wife is pregnant. She's 26 weeks pregnant with our second child. We went to the doctor yesterday, and I just want to let you know the little kid is weighing in at two pounds, three ounces, and is the size of a zucchini. Yeah, we are getting there.

I love when he starts to give us fruits and vegetables. Because, like, he did it last time, but it would go from, like, a zucchini to a limit. Like, there's a difference. It was like changing shape. He'd be like, this one's like a bundle of grapes. And then the next one, he'd say, well, this one is like a cornucopia with seven fruits. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, so we got a zucchini inside my wife just growing. But like a baby zucchini or like a, I don't know. I mean, it says nine inches. That's how big a zucchini is. Oh, okay. Wow. Interesting.

There you go. Hey, what's that? What's the half? Eddie, what's happening with you? I got really, really excited the other day because I started watching a new show. I think it's on Amazon or maybe Netflix called A Man in the High Castle. It's on Amazon. Amazon.

Love it. I'm like three episodes in. I told Bobby about it. And Bobby goes, you're not going to like that after a while. It's really great. Amy watched it before I did. It was like, Bobby, you're going to hate it after a few episodes. And then I watched it.

And a few episodes, it was wonderful. And then you're just like, what the heck is happening? Like, this is so too much. So I'm at the point where I'm like, I'm still loving it, but I know now, now two of you guys? Maybe not. Maybe not. So it's like I'm waiting for it to get bad now. Because the actual concept is amazing. It's like, what if the U.S. lost the World War, World War II?

And then half of us was Japan. Half of us was Germany. Correct. Didn't happen. But the concept's interesting. Yes. And the first few episodes are great. But check back in it for like six episodes.

I will. All right. All of us. Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. What's the hats? Well, let's do this. Why don't we play the new Christmas song from Eddie and I, The Raging Idiots?

Elf on the shelf. By the way, tickets go on until Friday to see us in Washington, D.C., and Virginia Beach. We're only adding two shows to our entire tour. Tickets on Friday at Raging Idiots.com. Here is the dumb debate of the day as brought to us by Lunchbox today. I want to know if it's still cool to write your initials in wet cement. because my wife and I were taking a walk around the neighborhood and they were building a house

and so in front they had redone the sidewalk and so the sidewalk I guess had just been laid so there's a little yellow caution tape and it's wet cement and I want to go put LB in the concrete and so it's there forever. At age 38. Okay.

Because I always think it's so cool when you were a kid you could put your fingers in the wet cement or whatever and so I thought it was so cool and my wife was like, you are not doing that. You're 38 years old. And we kind of got in an argument right there on the sidewalk, on the walk, because I wanted to write LB in the cement. And she goes, it's not cool anymore to do that.

And Saul's like, you know what? I'll take it to the show and we'll find out if it's still cool to write your name in the cement. Dumb debate of the day. When is it not cool to write your name in the cement? Amy? I mean, I've done it as an adult. Yeah! I was trying to think the last time I did it, I was 20.

But what's your cutoff? It can be cool forever. That can be an answer. And it's forever on the Texas A&M campus. Kind of excited about that. But is that part of it? Like, because is that something that Texas A&M does? No.

Uh-uh, no. If I, but if I do ever go back to George Bush Avenue or whatever with my kids, I'll be like, that's my initials. So your answer is? I mean, I kind of, I kind of think it's okay. I think it's okay. You still think it's cool? Yeah. I don't, is it vandalism?

I don't want to... Well, it gets into that too. Like, you don't own that property. Right. Yeah, well, we do. We pay taxes. You, in the college, maybe, is it, Texanian in public school? Yeah.

Okay. Yes, I'm talking about, I'm talking about him. Where's your thing? I mean, it was just a sidewalk. So, I mean, that's public property, right? Yeah, but you can't go spray paint on public property. Oh, that's the point. You can't just go destroy things.

Oh. Well, it's not destroy. It's autographing. It's art. Yes, there you go. Again, you can't go and paint. Okay. Dumb debate of the day.

This is not his specific situation, but when is it not cool to put your name and submit, Amy? Never. Okay, so it's always cool. I can't believe if I'm saying this, but yeah, I think it's fine. I'm going to go with after sixth grade. Sixth grade? Yeah, after you're not. Oh, hey, party pooper.

Okay, stick in the mud. What? Have you done it, like, after, when's, is that the last time you did it? I don't think I've ever done it. Oh, man. No. You've never experienced it. No, never.

Your hand prints. We didn't have a driveway. We had a gravel. Your dog's purse. No, nothing. You should go experience it now. I just think after you're 12, it's like trick-or-treating. There's a point where it's all fun, and then you just get too old to be doing that.

So I'm going to go, when you hit the teens, unless it's something that they want you to mark the occasion. Just for sake of doing it, it's not cool anymore. 12 is your cutoff. That's my answer. Producer Eddie? Bones, I'm going to have to agree with you. What? This is the same kind of people that carve on picnic tables at restaurants.

No, no, I don't do that. There's no reason to do it. I think when you're a kid, it's cool. You put your handprints. It's awesome. But this isn't even your place. Like, this is a sidewalk. Nah, you can't do this.

There's not a wrong answer. I mean, you'll go to jail if you do it when it's not yours. I'm saying it's just a dumb debate. It's a kid thing to me. It's a kid thing to me, too. Wow, I thought everybody got a smile on their face when I brought it up and the fact Just thinking about putting your initials in cement just makes you smile and put you in a good mood. It does feel good.

Okay. Well, you guys have that side of the debate and we have our side of the debate. Morgan number two, what do you think about this? You're 26? I think he should do it. I think it's always good to be with your kid at heart. And that's just you're having fun. If you're going to get in trouble, you're going to get in trouble.

But he's being a kid and he's loving life. I think that's totally fine. Raymond doing the glass room? Yeah, it's just like sidewalk chalk. If you're not going to do that, why are you doing the cement? and also there's technology now. They put another layer over it. Your name ain't going to still be there.

This isn't back in the day. These guys are smarter now. They'll put a little bit more cement. And they're going to have to work harder. The construction guys already are working a full-time day. Add another hour to it. Oh, wow. I didn't think about that.

Great perspective. I mean, if they want to ruin the art, they could just leave it be, and then it's not extra work. Well, thank you all. There isn't right or wrong answer. That's why it's a debate.

What about the five golden rings? Because that can be really anything. Oh, and that'd be gold, gold, gold. Five golden rings. That could be like any, it can be a million dollars each. Well, swans of swimming, they're about two grand a piece. And then. I don't take swans of walking.

The cheapest item is the partridge to put in your pear tree. The partridge is only 20 bucks. Yeah. I don't know what a partridge is. The bird, isn't it? I know, but I wouldn't, if you want to fly by me, like, honey, that's a partridge right there. The pear tree is going to cost you about $199.99.95 cents. Crazy. Wow.

There's a really funny episode, and now I'm going to shock you guys, but talking about this, of the office. Well, weird. I didn't think you were going to go there. Where Andy buys Aaron everything from the 12 days of Christmas. And, like, all the drummers show up drumming at the end. Because she gets attacked by the bird. This is the whole thing. And he's our secret Santa.

And then all the drummer, it's pretty good. I don't really talk about the office much. No, you don't. But I just don't talk about that. All right, what else, Amy? So this Wisconsin City has made it illegal to throw snowballs, ranking them alongside rocks and arrows as an outlawed weapon. There must have been bad things happen.

For sure. So many of them that they've had to regulate. Much like in one of the cities in Virginia where you couldn't trick or treat it after 12, there must have been a bunch of idiots who are 13 like breaking windows and stuff. Like you don't make ba-humbug rules without ba-humbug rule breakers. Yeah. It's all fun in games until someone gets hurt. So why?

Is there any reason as to why they did that? And said it really is in the interest of public safety. Speaking of which... Snowballs are deemed as, quote, weapons. Throwing snowballs, it kind of sucks. How are you getting hit by them? It hurts. They never stay intact in your way. You know, it looks fun on TV.

Then your hand ends up cold. If you have a glove on it, then it's wet. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with that law. What else you got? I know you don't get on Facebook that much, and neither do I, but there's like a really scary thing happening on there right now with white vans.

When you... Like a van or like a shoe? I thought the shoes when I read the headline, too, but no, a literal van. When I say white van, does that make you think of anything? Like a white... Yeah, like creepy. Like a creeper, like a kidnapper.

Right. So we already had that in our heads, but now, like, this rumor has, like, caused this fear that these white vans are driving around kidnapping women across the United States and selling their body parts somehow. I don't know. It's kind of crazy. And people are giving into it. And it's really just a Facebook thing.

It's not real. So don't believe it. even though the mayor in Baltimore said to his people, his community that he's in charge of, do not park anywhere near a white man if you see one. Oh, come on. Why are people making this a bigger thing than it is? It said, make sure you keep your cell phone in case someone tries to abduct you. How about for any color van?

Right. It could be any car. She keep your cell phone in case any car or whatsoever tries to abduct you. I know lunchbox is particularly defensive because doesn't your dad drive a white van? My dad has driven a white van his entire life. And didn't your dad get called at Christmas time to not be Santa again? Yes, because there was a Santa Claus that was with the exact same name as him that was accused of bad stuff. Bad stuff with underage kids.

And they called and they said, are you so-and-so? And they said, yes. And they said, are you going to be Santa again after these charges? And he was like, I've never been Santa Claus in my whole life. But they were like, you drop a white van, right? And it's like, I do. You're the one. And what's so funny is one time we played on a softball team and this girl on our team were walking.

And she goes, oh, I parked right there next to the Chester-Melester van. And I was like, that's my dad's van. See? If I had a white man. Poor people named Chester, too, by the way. You're born with the name Chester. And then all of a sudden, everyone's going to nickname you Chester the molester. You have a workman that's white.

And all of a sudden, you're kidnapping people. It was the white man and Santa Claus had the same name. There you go. Well, we should just know that Facebook's stupid and this is not a real thing. But I mean, I would just still proceed with caution. Yeah, me too. Just don't buy a white van. Yeah.

With a navy blue one. Yeah. Right. I'm Amy, that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. Okay, I've never heard of this.

And now that I have, I'm obsessed with it. It's called Trees for Troops. And it's a group that delivers thousands of Christmas trees to military bases all over the world each year. And this year, they're sending out 16,000 trees to bases across the country and overseas. I guess it formed back in, like, 2004. And they have been... Moral builder.

Yeah. Oh, huge. So... And your husband, when he was, let me ask you this. When he was in the military, he was stationed or he was, uh, away, right? Just, let's say away. How important was it for him to get things? Super important.

Even little things that you would think would be non-essential items. Uh, super important. And every soldier, whatever you can say, every soldier is different. So some people just want to detach from that and do their job and be like, as soon as I'm out of here, I'm out of here, I don't want any reminder that I'm not. at home with my family over Christmas, but my husband was the opposite, and most people he worked with,

and plus we would send extra stuff so he could share it with other people that didn't have people sending them things. I love that story. That's what it's all about right there. That was tell me something good. Folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby, boom.

That's right. Getting closer to Christmas, that means another Christmas joke today. Corny. What kind of music do elves listen to? What kind of music do elves listen to? Rap. Oh, W-R-A-P.

Rap. That was the Morning Corny. It's a Bobby Bones show. Eddie says when he to book this person as a guest. Oh my gosh, Bones, you would love this guy.

What happened? So I went to a Christmas concert, and this guy came out as a special guest, and he started singing an original song that he wrote, and I'm like, oh my gosh, this guy sounds just like Freddie Mercury from Queen. Nails it. And then he does a Queen cover.

I'm like, oh, my gosh. He sounds just like. like him. And then I find out later that he is the actual voice of the guy that's saying in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. So he's the one who sang all the songs while this other dude did the acting. Really? Does he live here? He lives here in Nashville and he did a great cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. I'm like, oh my, we need to get him on the show now. So let me get this straight. The guy's name in Bohemian Rhapsody is Rami Rami Mali. He didn't sing the songs. Right. He acted.

and then lip-synced the songs, but this guy sang the Freddie Mercury songs. He was the voice. Okay, let me hear it. We have a club for this? Yeah. Here we go. Mean or him?

That's him, bones. I literally couldn't tell the difference. It's even weird. He kind of looks like him. Even with all those background vocals, that's not a queen track? No, he did like a karaoke track, but that's him doing the main voice.

I'm telling you, I was watching. Did you talk to him? I did not. How did we get him in here then? Oh, we'll find him. Don't worry. Don't worry? Amy, first of all, did you know that there was a different singer?

I didn't. No, I just assumed that robot guy can sing. Mr. Robot? Yes. And I would love, if he comes in, may I request Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas? Because it's Christmas time. Yeah, if you can get a hold of him, we'll book him. But it has to be either late this week or next week because then we're done. I will find him.

What's his name? Do you know? Mark Martel, I believe. Did the crowd go crazy? Yeah, everyone was just like in shock how good he was. That's so cool. So see if we can book him here. Hey, give me a queen.

clip that we have. Now play him again? You're sure that's him? I swear this is him. I pictured him coming here and you just like big smile on your face saying sing this one. Now sing this one. How did your kids get him to play at the Christmas thing?

It was just part of a thing at the university and he sang with Amy Grant. Amy Grant brought him up and he's like this is my good friend Mark Martel. Well while we're at it, maybe Amy Grant can come up to maybe. Yeah, maybe. Okay, coming up in a second, they did a whole bunch of science and they have found out now, the most Christmasy song, no movie, the most Christmassy movie of all time. Okay. They did a bunch of scientific data factors and they've all, we have the most Christmasy movie of all time coming up next here on the Bobby Bone Show.

All right, so a scientific study used 20 different factors to find out what the ultimate Christmas movie is. they looked at all the really popular American Christmas movies and here are the categories the number of Christmas references in each movie how they did at the box office their reviews and how much of a festive buzz they continued to create year after year uh drum roll please

these are the most Christmassy movies according to science by the way your favorite Christmas movie is I mean it's a toss-up old school home alone or elf being more newish number 10 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Which is pretty good. I haven't seen it a long time. It's a good one. Number nine, the Polar Express.

Which I've never seen that. That's Tom Hanks. Yeah, it's good. It's a cartoon. I think they do a version of Polar Express here. Is that what they're telling us? Yes. Eddie and now we're playing at the Opera and one of the guys are like, hey, they do a polar express. We can get on a train and like take a train somewhere. It goes somewhere for like an hour and then comes right back. Do you put on your pajamas?

Yeah, kids dress up in pajamas. Oh, that's awesome. That's a real thing. A real thing. I guess they do it in different cities too. Number eight is Grimlins. Now, Grimlins falls into the Grimlins diehard home alone category of, is it a Christmas movie you can make up your own mind? But it happens at Christmas.

And with a lot of people, if it happens at Christmas, it's then just a Christmas movie. Grimlins at eight. Number seven, Arthur Christmas. It's an animated movie that was big in England. I don't know. Number six, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Anybody see that one? Mm-mm.

Tim Burton? No. Probably. Top five, the most. Christmasy movies according to science. Santa Claus with Tim Allen, which is a wonderful movie. You love that.

Love it. Definitely Christmas. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I loved Home Improvement too, and I was like, this is crazy. Home Improvement's doing a Christmas movie.

Oh? Number four, how the Grinch stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. Number three, love actually. Kind of the only rom-com on here. Yeah, in 2003. Number two, most Christmasy movie according to science is

elf, which is really good. And it's a test of time, too, because Will Ferrell just remains funny to us. I wonder if he's funny to kids. Yes. My kids love it. Mine do, too. But not that movie, but Will Ferrell's comedy. I don't know if they know it.

Oh, so he's in Daddy's Home. Have you ever seen that? It's actually really good. So good. Yeah. My kids died laughing. They saw Daddy's Home too first, and then saw Daddy's Home because they thought Daddy's, the second one was so good. And they loved it.

I was watching, when I was shooting that Bear a Girl show, I was in Norway. And the only American show that was on TV was Daddy's Home. I couldn't find anything in English. And so I was like, I watched Daddy's Home, I guess. The only thing I know what they're saying. And so it's him and Wahlberg, right? Yes. And like, he's the stepdad and Walberg's the real dad.

And he's trying to compete. And he was in jail and then he got out, Walberg. And then he comes into their life. Yeah. And then in the second one, their dads come into the scene. And Mel Gibson is one of the dads and that other guy from, I can't think of his name. But he's actually really funny. Yeah.

It's so, like kids. I'm glad you think it's funny because I was in a foreign country going, is this funny or is this the only thing in English? No. And I don't really know for sure for sure if it's for kids because some stuff, it's a lot like kind of just warning. But it goes right over my kids' head. So it doesn't matter. The number one most Christmasy movie, according to science is from 1990 Home Alone. Woo!

Yes. By the way, if you're someone who insists Die Hard is Christmas movie, it barely missed the top ten at number 11. And so Home Alone 2 and Scrooge also are close up there. I just don't feel like Die Hard or Gremlins or Home Alone is a Christmas movie. But they are.

They can be put at any time of the year and you can have the same storyline. You can't do Elf if it's not about Christmas. That's my classification of movies. Requirements. Yes. So, the most Christmas movies, Home Alone. Do you have your kids seen that? Yes. They like it still? Yeah. Does it hold up?

It holds up. They laugh out loud. Home loan one, two, three. Three, though, didn't even have McCauley Calkin in it. Listen, the kids don't care about that. Oh, they don't? No, I do. I do. I'm like, what is this? How do you keep forgetting your kid, too? Come on, after the first one, you can't do you forget your kid. Twice. Well, the third one had a different kid. All right. Different family. They didn't watch Home Loan 1 if this was an issue. Yeah. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,

this morning. The great way to start today. Are you like a teacher or something? How did you know all that so quickly? I just,

Tell me something good. For nearly 20 years, Deb Schwartz has helped special education students at Brownstown Central High School in Indiana. But recently, Devin her husband,

and Dan went the extra mile to help one of those students. 19-year-old Dylan Bridges by adopting him. He was in foster care. He was struggling in school. Deb and Dan had already raised two children, and they believe they can make a big impact on Dylan's lives. They said, hey, do you want to move in? Quote, he had a bad situation.

The new life situation has given Dylan a big boost. He's now achieving in school, optimistic about his future, especially with him working with him on having not only school but home and then being able to live independently. And they're working on him with that as well. I love that. So they definitely didn't have to do that love that they did that. Older a kid too.

19. And special needs. All just, just a big shout out to them. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby Bones.

Let's know. Translet it. All right, time now to open up the mailbag. Let's do it. Bobby's mailbag. Hey, Bobby, my fiancé of two years told me last night that he doesn't want to get married because he's working. new job that pays him more, and if we get married, that would, quote, put us in a different tax

bracket. And he thinks it'll make us owe taxes instead of getting the big return when we file. I mean, I guess I understand the point, but I don't want to be dating or engaged for the rest of our lives. Like, I thought we were on the same page since his proposal was a complete surprise. I just get this slight nagging feeling that I'm being too upset or shallow about this whole thing. Is there even a point of being engaged when he doesn't want to get married? Am I expected to walk around with a ring while he walks around without one? How is that even fair? I'm just not sure what to do here.

Do I continue to be engaged without the promise of marriage? What do you think? Signed, Anonymous. Amy? I mean, no, you don't continue to be engaged. That's zero reason for me to not get married because of a tax bracket. I understand his logic and he's trying to be all precise with every single penny here and penny there. But no, that's just not.

cool because like your finances are going to change what if you got married eventually if you had another tax bracket are you going to get divorced no please that is an excuse i get if that were happening to me right now i feel for her that sucks wow wow that's how i feel about that amy saying bad words amy's been a little on tilt the last couple days of the mailbags and my daughter said sucks the other day and i said what did you just say she was like oh i thought we could say that because you say it i was like oh my bad i need to stop saying that but that i feel for her that is not a fun position to be in because I just feel like, I don't know, he's just, what, cold feet. Well, you know, yesterday, we really disagreed on the old mill bag.

Yeah, we did. You got, I didn't feel like you were honest. Not we, you were very sensitive. You got feisty. No, you did. I think you, sometimes you come in and you're insensitive places off the show and you bring it on the show and I have to, you got irritable a bit. Oh, I didn't.

T, judges? I did not. I was fine. He was worked up. Both of you guys. Well, anyway, so we disagreed yesterday. Yes. And today, we agree.

Oh, thank goodness. I thought you're about to say, well, a wise man once said. It's good logic. Don't get married if you're in a different tax bracket. Here's the thing. Like, come on. My husband and I, we've switched tax brackets since we got married. Hey, humble brag.

All right, listen. What president are you in? Let me get my opinion here, braggy. I just 13 years of marriage. Okay. Yeah, we went down on my tag. Eddie, that's... Tax brackets.

Then you add kids. This stuff will come and go up and down. Yes. Like waves in the ocean. Splishy, splashy, up and down. You can't withhold marriage because of you might go up in a tax bracket. That's just something you deal with together. And that's just something.

You just pay them money if you have to pay more money. And all the... But he just got to know what he's talking about. Fully. So if you're engaged, you're engaged to get married. It sounds to me, Honestly, it's like it's not even about the tax bracket. Sounds to me like dude just don't want to get married.

And they've been engaged two years. Yeah. If I can just say that. Yeah. First of all, if it is about the tax bracket, that's dumb. Stop making it about that. Get engaged. Let me just say that it sounds to me like he just doesn't want to get engaged.

It doesn't want to be married at all right now. Right. So I would have this conversation with them, an open one and say, hey. Say, hey, I talked to Bobby and Amy. Yeah. And they agreed for once on the mailbag. I mean, oh, this is so sad. It's just not a good situation all the way through.

have a talk with them. Sounds to me like he doesn't want to get married. If it's really about the tax bracket, push them. We got to get married or I'm not being engaged to you. But then you're in that position where you're kind of forcing someone to get married. Yeah, ultimatum.

Bump, bum, bum, bum, bum. Sometimes dudes need them. I needed them. And his wife had to do it to him. I needed it. Look at me. She said, marry me or I'm, she said poop and get off the pot. Pretty much.

And what did you do? And I married her. Pooped. Yes. You didn't get up the pie. You married. Hypothetically. That's our advice.

This is not a good situation. either way. He's wrong both ways. You could not be more right. He's wrong and he's wrong. Yeah. That's the mailback. And that was Bobby's Mailbag. All you have to do is go to our Facebook page and add your input over there, Bobby Bone's show on Facebook. Or

It's Friday afternoon. I wake up from my nap and I'm like, I don't feel good. And I go in the bathroom and I start throwing up. And next thing I wake up, I'm on the bathroom floor. So I passed out. Wow, really? Yeah.

And so I'm like, okay, no big. deal. Wait, no big deal. That's crazy. I've never... I don't know that I've ever passed out. Just one time. So I was like, it's no big deal. About an hour later, same thing happens and I wake up on the bathroom floor again. I'm like, okay, this is scary. So later, my wife gets home and I'm on the couch and I got to go again and I start walking to the bathroom and I say,

I'm not going to make it. So I try to grab onto the wall. And next thing I know, my wife is waking me up off the living room floor and she says, I was just sprawled out my head up against the TV stand and she heard a crash. She comes running down the stairs and goes, it's not funny. That's not a funny joke. And I didn't move. And she said she shook me for like 10 seconds. And I finally woke up and I said, where am I? And so she's like, we're going to the ER. So we go to the ER and I tell them I've been passing out and they give me an EKG test to check my heart. And I mean, the ER when you go in is packed with people. What are most people there for? I don't know. I don't talk to people.

I mean, it's just overloaded with you. You can pull out the hidden mic, be like, why are you here? No, because I am feeling. I'm always curious. Yeah, yeah. How long have you been waiting? That's a funny bit, though. I was feeling so bad.

I was just like, it's going to take me forever to get in. I'm just going to sit here with all these other people. So they're at the front desk. So what's your occupation? I'm like, lunchbox, buy a bone show. Oh, my gosh. You did not drop your name at the ER. Yeah, because they asked my occupation.

But that's not your name. You have a real name. But my occupation. When they said occupation, I said lunchbox, the Bobby Bone Show. Which, what was your goal with that? I saw all those people, so I figured I was going to be waiting for a long time. And when I'm sick and I'm not feeling good and I'm passing out, I feel like I need to be moved to the front of the line. Do you think that what you were going through was worse than what everybody else was going?

Yes, because they were kind of laughing and joking with each other and talking and hanging out. I was in not a joking mood. I was not looking. I was not talking to my wife. was not talking to anybody. It was, and then I'm worried, you know, if people see me, oh, there's a celebrity in the waiting room. They start wanting to come and take pictures.

Like, I don't have time for that. Oh, I didn't think about that. So I get back in the room, and I think they moved me up a little bit because of who I was. And all of a sudden the doctor. Who are you, by the way? Lunchbox, the Bobby Bone Show. Okay, all right. And so I get in the room and the doctor comes in and he starts talking to me about all this,

about passing out. He doesn't know why. So they run all this blood work. They hook me up to an IV. and then the doctor brings in, oh, here's my assistant that wants to... Why are you in finger quotes over assistant? Shadowing me. All of a sudden, he has a shadow because a celebrity's in there.

So he's bringing his buddy from another part of the hospital to come check me out. Do you really believe this is happening? Yes. Do you really believe? I mean, what are the odds that when I come in, there's a shadow? Because the first time the doctor came in, there was no shadow. And the nurse, like, I had one nurse and 20 minutes later, oh, I switch shifts with Stephanie. Oh, and I'm like, come on.

on. Like really, I am just trying to get healthy here. I am sick. I feel like, like, I am passing out. Like, I am literally passing out when I'm sick. And you're bringing all your friends here. Switched with Stephanie. Stephanie went home for the day. Yeah, right. So they could not figure out why I was passing out. Even with all these people with like nine nurses, show and tell. It's the doctor. I mean, and I got IV. I got two bags of fluids. I was in there for like six and a half, seven hours. Wow, really? Yeah. Do you think you were longer? I think because they were hoping more friends would be able to get up there. And then I was worried, like you see on TMZ, like, oh, Reese Willerspoon goes to Cedar, Sinai, you know?

I was like, great. I'm going to be on TMZ. One of these people came in here and took a picture of me in the hospital. Okay. But I haven't seen anything on TMZ, so maybe they followed the hippilaws, but they did invite the rest of the hospital staff. And then when I left, oh, have a good night. Have a good night. Everybody makes sure. I hope you feel better. I didn't see him doing that to other patients. So would you say, and by the way, just to our listeners, I don't think anyone else in the show feels this way about themselves, just lunchbox? But I'm going to ask this question. Do you think your celebrity status, whatever that means, helped you in this situation?

Oh, for sure. I mean, because the waiting room, I'm telling you, if you ever go to an ER, it takes a long, there was so many people. I didn't realize how many people went to the ER. And there was a lot of people, and when I left, there was still a lot of people out there waiting. Same ones. Some of them? A few of them, yes. They've been waiting forever because they didn't have the clout. Oh, man, it was rough. I mean, I'll be honest. The first time I passed out, I thought I died.

No, no, listen, because I have my head over the toilet. You thought you died. I did. Yeah. Because when you wake up, everything's kind of blurry. And I had no idea where I was. And my bathroom is white. And they say when you die that you white. And so I just laid there for a second. Was it also dirty? Oh, it was real dirty. Heaven's dirty.

They say there's pee on the floor of heaven. Let me say I had a bruise on my side because I landed on the toilet bowl brush. Like it stabbed me in the side. And I really thought I died the first time I passed out. How long did it take you to realize you hadn't died? Probably about five seconds. Then I realized the toilet's there and I was like, okay, I put it together. I was throwing up.

Heaven's a commode? That guy's of them. It's scary. I mean, the second time I passed out. The whole passing out is weird. But I'm still worried about it. Yeah, that part's weird. Yeah, that part's weird.

Yeah, because the second time I passed out while I was throwing up in the toilet. And then I woke up and I had thrown up again on the ground and my face was in the throw. Oh. Yeah, that part's scary. That part is like a serious human. Thank goodness I got to the hospital on time. And they treated me like the celebrity that I am because they got me feeling so much better. Do you think they took better care of you because of- Yes.

I don't think they would. give a normal person an EKG, whatever that means, but they hooked up some monitors to my heart to make sure it was okay. Oh, well, we're glad you're... And I didn't have a pillow? Oh, wow. Okay. And one of the nurses went and stole a pillow from someone else's bed. Oh, so they took it from a non-celebrity. Yes. Oh, man. That other person didn't have a pillow? Plus, being a celebrity, they didn't charge me a dime. Walked right out. Oh, dang got a celebrity discount. You just haven't gotten your insurance bill yet. Didn't have to pay a dime. Okay.

They just hit me a piece of paper and said, here's some medication. Have a great night. All right. Well, we're glad you're okay. Check your mailbox. We're glad you're okay. A trip to the ER. I thought, I mean, guys, that was the scary. I mean, the fact that I passed out from a standing up position, that was probably the worst one.

And also, you should not play jokes on your wife so much because when you do really hurt. Right. She's like, oh, get up you, dummy. She did. And she's pregnant. She came running down the stairs. She said, that's not funny. And I didn't move.

She goes, then I got scared. Well, we're glad you're okay. You're okay now, right? I am. And thank you. to everybody for the thoughts and prayers. I really do appreciate it. Nobody gave you thoughts and prayers.

Nobody knew. Oh, oh. All right, this game is simple. It's early in the morning. Going to warm everybody up with this game. I'll play you a sound. You named the sound. That's it.

Like, honestly. That someone's hanging out with them. Yes. That's all. And I say that in a way of, if you're listening now, it doesn't matter how cool you are because kids think you're cool if you're there. Correct. That's why kids think their parents are so cool because they're with them. So, what I mean, but they don't care is like they don't care that I'm whatever I am, moderately known in rural areas.

Dance champion. Yeah, they don't care. But what they do care is that a human comes up and spends time with them. So I'm going to go today and spend some time over there. I love that. I think it would be pretty cool. Yeah, thank you guys. Hit up my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones.
