Right now in Nebraska, Al is on the phone. Al, what's up, buddy? Good morning, Bobby. Happy New Year. Yeah, you too. Is it too late to say that now? When do we stop saying Happy New Year? It's getting that way, but I haven't talked to you, so, you know, I thought, well, I'll say it anyway.

I like it. I'm just wondering before I get hate from listening. Good morning. Good morning, Studio. Good morning. Studio, happy year to you too. Thank you. We'll take it.

All right, Al, what's up, buddy? I've called in a few times, and I know that you're real busy. We listen to your show every day, and I know how busy you are by the times I call in on to talk to you. But Old Dominion got a song out. It's called On a Boat or something like that. I was on a boat that day. I was on a boat that day. Skibibibu Bop.

That one. Absolutely. Hey, that's a jam. I think that's going to be a number one song. And they played it on that last. show that I think that they got group of the year and they played that song and now I haven't heard it again and I don't know what's going on. I know that you'd be the only one that could ever answer that question. Well, here's what I think happened. That song was a single. I think they're

off of that song as a single. I don't think it hit number one. I don't know where it. Where did it land? I don't know where it ended. I loved it. Yeah, I did too. But the reason you don't hear it now is because it's not the single that the record label once played now. Uh, Let's see. Here we go. It peaked at number nine on Billboard. And then I was on a boat, U.S. Country Airplay. Yeah, maybe 30. I don't know. Regardless, it did not end up at number one. Number one in my heart. They moved off of that single. The new single is called No Hard Feelings, and that's the one that you're going to hear now.

So if you want to hear that song, Al, sad to say, because I liked it too, you have to go and stream it. Okay. Well, I appreciate it. Like I said, it's, I don't know. why they would have played it on that show and then not let you guys play it. Well, we did play it, and they played it on our show, too. But they were probably promoting their single. It was their single at the time. And so they got on the award show to play it to hopefully help the single. And I think it reached its potential, number nine or so.

And then they were like, okay, can't climb anymore. Let's move on to the next one. And so the new one's called No Hard Feelings. That's why. Okay. Well, John Pardy had a song come out about the same time. Cila sometime? Tequila sometime.

Little Time, which is a wonderful song. It is actually at number five right now on the chart, and I bet it's going to be a number one song. Yeah, I did too, and I thought they would both be, because I think they were both about the same time. They were released about the same time. I just can't believe, I think that other, I'll take Old Dominion

songs better. I don't, but that's why we have, we're allowed to have different opinions. But, yes, I like, I want to Gala little time with you. Yeah, that's good. Okay, Al, in the end, the record label decided not to push it as a single.

Radio, I don't, because I don't give a crap really what songs are played, unless I'm playing it myself, which I rarely do. The record labels push their songs, if they're good, they move up the chart, if not, the record label goes, well, that song did not do well, we have to move on to another one. If you had quizzed me six months from now and said, I was on a boat that day, where did it land? I would have thought it just made it to number one and then moved on. Because every one of their songs goes number one. Yeah, it does. Like, that's crazy to me. All right, Al, have a great day, buddy.

Yeah. I mean, when that comes on and it doesn't come on very often. And it'll come on far less now. Yep. Maybe it never. You're just going to have to stream it. Yeah. Okay, well, hey, listen, you guys got a great show.

We listen to you every morning, so keep up good work. Thank you, Al. Have a good day, buddy. Good, too, buddy. All right, buddy. You want to hear the top 10 right now? Yeah. Other this week.

Let's see what made it, but Old Dominion didn't. I'll start at number 11 because Parker McCollum's going to have a number one song with To be loved by you, which is a good one. It's a jam. Kelsey Ballerini, half of my hometowns at number 10. One of my favorite songs of all of last year. Still moving up the chart. Zach Brown Band at number nine.

Number eight, Morgan Wallin, sand in my boots. What was Zach Brown at, insane boat? Yeah. We're all in the same boat. That's a former number one song, too. So it's on the way down. Cain Brown won Mississippi. It's seven.

What? I don't know. I'm just like, how did that boat song make it to number one? And the other boat one didn't. I mean... Different record labels. That's what Al was trying to say. Al had a point.

John Party, Tequila Little Time. No, no. Number six, Jimmy Allen and Brad Paisley. If Freedom was a Highway. Yeah, that's good. Tequila Little Time. John Party at five. Jordan Davis, buy dirt.

At four. That'll be a number one. Which is really cool. Luke's on that one. Yeah. Yeah, because I like Jordan a lot. So that's good. Chris Ableton, you should probably leave at three.

Oh, wow, good. Jam. He's been playing this live for years, is the thing. And when he put it on the record, I was like, oh, that's cool. I've heard that song a bunch of times. And I never thought they'd make it a single. So good. And they did, which is awesome.

Michael Ray, whiskey and rain at number two. And Dustin Lynch is at number one with Thinking About You. I mean, and this song's been number one for three or four weeks. Yeah. but got the benefit of the break because the label stopped pushing songs at the break so songs at the end of the year just kind of stay number one because they went on vacation

and the great thing for Dustin Lynch he gets to go we got a four week number one that's good benefited by the break but who knows that after the break's over and you can talk about it in six months no one cares nobody knows so those are your big songs now Sam Hunt's got a jam 23 this moving up the chart too but thanks Al for that call we appreciate that let's open up the mailbag

you send an email and we It's something we call Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. Longtime listener, I love the show. I was recently catching up on the show with the podcast and was listening to Bobby talk about his sleep issues and the call map. I totally relate to his sleep issues. I'm a mom to a highly energetic five-year-old, a wife, I work full-time. I average eight hours of sleep per week. I drink tons of coffee. I've tried every over-the-counter sleep remedy in the book. I've tried different medications, but they don't help.

I hate taking them. Nothing has worked. I've heard a little about the call map, and I can't decide if it's worth the price. I was just curious if you, Bobby, think it helps you sleep and is worth the money. I know I need a sleep study, but cannot afford it right now

and am desperate for more slash better sleep. Thank you so much. Signed, a tired mama. I'll tell you this. I don't get paid by the call map. This is not an endorsement in any way. If we don't get an endorsement from this, we have failed.

We have failed as a morning show that needs money to survive. But I do use the call map a couple nights a week. They have something called bedtime stories. I wonder if I'd get in trouble for playing some of them. They're so boring that I turn them on and listen. And most nights I fall asleep listening to them talk about something stupid. What are they about? Well, I like the sports one most.

John McEnroe and one of them teaches the rules of tennis, but it's literally him reading the rule book of tennis. That's funny. So it's like, hey, it's John McEnroe. Okay, the lines are 42 feet. And I slowly fall asleep. I like the call map. I don't use it every night anymore. I've also found that I can listen to podcasts.

And even though I'm pretty engaged with them, I can fall asleep. I listen to Bill Simmons lot falling asleep because it's a sports podcast that I can't always get to every day. But I do use the call map. Money-wise, I don't know what you got. I think for me I paid 60 bucks for a year of it of the call map. So you know all that's relative. But do you want a sleep story, Amy? Sure.

Okay. I go to my recently play. sleep stories. And I didn't listen to the Big Bad Wolf learns anger management. The guy that blows the houses down? My name's Nick Offerman. So Nick Offerman does that night. I'd like to tell you a fine tale about a familiar storybook character.

But before we get started. And they're like then, okay, first of all, we're going to take some breaths. We're going to da-da-da-da-da. Then more of it. They arrived at the stream, which trickled along as the water washed over the stones. So I don't do any of the meditation stuff. but I do listen to these at night, and they work pretty good for me. They work great at first, but I've listened to all the good ones now.

Now I get annoyed. So does Caitlin have to listen to whatever you listen to? She likes it too. Okay. And we'll take turns picking. She doesn't pick as good ones as I do. What does she pick? Again, that's relative.

I don't know. I don't know if she picks over there. But it's okay. I struggle with this. I never get a full night's sleep. I wake up the middle of the night every night. I'm doing all kinds of stuff. I'm also like you.

I'm trying to figure it out. But I can't take sleeping pills anymore. It was a bad part of my life. It was about two years. I can't take medication. It does bad stuff to me. I probably became a little too dependent on sleeping pills, and I will not go back down that route again. I'm afraid to take him on airplanes. I'm afraid to wake up butt naked.

And be one of those, oh, he's naked on an airplane. On the tarmac. Yeah. Yeah, so I won't do that anymore. I don't remember stuff from sleeping pills. Good luck with your journey. The call app, I would give it a B plus for what you sound like you need it for. All right, thank you.

We've got your email and we read it on air. Now it's time to close. Mail back. Yeah. Fact Friday. The five most fun facts as curated by Amy. Let's go. Number five.

So the main reason Will Smith did the Fresh Prince of Bel Air was because he owed $2.8 million in back taxes and he needed the money. 70% of his pay for the first three seasons of the show was garnished by the IRS to pay those taxes. That's crazy. What was he doing before then? The rapper. Okay. People don't realize Will Smith was as big of a rapper as a guy. But because he wasn't cursing a whole lot and he was pretty positive, he cures a little bit.

He doesn't go down in history as that because his image was just pretty clean. But Will Smith was really one of the biggest rappers in his day. But that's what he was doing for this part. All right, what else? Number four. So Mount Rushmore was supposed to show all four presidents down to their waists, but they ran out of funds in 1941. one, so we just got the heads.

I'm okay with that. Sorry, boss. We ran out of money. That's okay. I'm good. I'm glad it's only the heads. All right, next. Number three.

Speaking of presidents, Richard Nixon once got drunk and ordered a nuclear strike on North Korea. Okay. The National Security Advisor at the time took the phone and told the joint chiefs of staff to stand down on the order until Nixon woke up to sober up the next morning and cancel the strike. Wow.

Hey, screw it. Fire it. Let's go. That's crazy. All right, next it up. Number two. And speaking to North Korea. Everyone there named Kim Jong-un had to legally change their name once he took power because it's illegal to have the same name as the Supreme Leader.

But I would imagine if you were named that, you knew he was up next. So are you counting the days like, I don't know, honey. Any day now I have to change my name. I don't know. Yeah, that North Korea, anytime I, like, really get serious and read about that place. Just bad. It makes me feel sad. That's a bad place.

He's a bad dude. That's just not a good situation. They listen to BTS. They get killed. They watch Squid Games. They get forced labor or killed. Anything coming from Western world. Crazy. Next up. Number one.

So in 1967, Paul McCartney let a stranger claiming to be Jesus Christ sit in on a Beatles recording session saying, well, it probably isn't, but if he is, I'm not going to be the one that turned him away. Just in case. That's great. He's like, it probably isn't him, but just in case. You never know. He's lucky that person and stab him all. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, that was pretty good. Okay. Fun Fat Friday. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two's 32nd Skinny. Mayor Morris released a new song called Circles Around This Town.

Maddie and Taze's new album, Through the Madness, Volume 1, comes out on January 28th. They released a new song from the album called Strangers. Walker Hayes released a new song called Drinking Songs. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good.

So imagine this. You're a farmer in Wisconsin. Hundreds and hundreds of events. acres. You take care of the farm, but you get COVID. And then you get to witness all of your neighbors come together and harvest your corn and soybeans for you because you're still recovery. Dang, that's awesome. Is that really happened to a farmer Dave Aubink, again, a Wisconsin farmer. And it took 17 farmers gathering all their equipment and supplies and different things and then around 50 volunteers. And they were able to do about 200 acres in a day. It must have had it

pretty bad. Oh yeah. Like he was in the hospital. Then he was at home recovering. While he was recovering on the couch, he said he looked out into the field and saw all these neighbors coming together to help him and tears were just streaming down his face. First of all, if I just looked out my window and saw people in my yard, I'm thinking they're robbing me. No, but he knew they were there helping him. That's good. Second of all, the other farmers are like, they start to get mysteriously get COVID to have their, that's a great story. I love it. I love it. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian

I'm in the Army, and we came down to Nashville to get away from this Illinois weather for a while. And surprised you guys had a massive snowstorm. So I've been driving through the night to get back home. And I just want to say, thanks to you guys for keeping me up by something. I'm going to grinding through the podcast. Thanks for listening. And yes, we had a gigantic snowstorm. There are snow everywhere. And

So we're going to talk to Merrin coming up in a little bit, but we're going to have to postpone her coming in to play music. But Marin Morris will be on in probably like half an hour. So we're very excited about that. I do want to ask her about her getting in that jet, that fighter plane and what that felt like.

So Marin Morris later, but no live music, but we'll do that later on. Here's Amy's pile of stories. You're a Gen Xer? Yes. I am a, no, I'm a Gen Z millennial. No, what are they calling? I'm millennial because I'm 81. But anything in the 80.

What do they call it, Mike? A geriatric millennial. Okay, that's us. Well, there's a study that came out that said we could all take up skateboarding if we get to that midlife crisis point. Eddie already does. I do. I still skate.

And Eddie is a Gen. Okay. So he's the research on this. Like, it's a pastime that allows middle-aged people, particularly men, to cope with stress, maybe even some depression. You just kind of get on the board and go. But the problem is... When you wreck, you never heal.

Exactly. It takes a long time. And that's one of the things that the study was talking about. It celebrates failure, which would be the falls, which is part of growth. And I was like, no, if I fall as a geriatric millennial, I'm going to break bones. Like, this doesn't sound therapeutic at all for my midlife crisis. Or you're going to tear muscles, which I'm dealing with now, that don't heal back like they used to. I got a shoulder injury and a calf injury that I just cannot fix.

Yeah. So I do not recommend skateboarding. Well, I forgot we had the research right here next to us. Eddie is proof that this is true. Now, I'm smarter than, like, looking at a hill and being like, ooh, I'm going to go down that thing and skate down. Like, I know better now. So I'm not really falling as much.

Plus, I'm just riding, like, a lot less. But do you have a history of skateboarding, like, as a kid? Not, like, tricks. I longboard. Yeah, but I've been doing that for a little. But you feel like the cool guy in the neighborhood. Yeah. In college, I used to skateboard to class.

That's how cool I was. Oh, gosh. And people would hear me coming from, like, mild. I feel like we're in this, like, some weird 80s movie. Did you put a baseball? card and your spokes on your bike? See, now you're making fun of it. Okay.

All right, what else, Amy? So a mom who is battling cancer is going to extremes to make sure that her daughter is in good hands when she's gone. So did you know there's a website called Wingman? It's a dating app. I guess it's more of an app, not a website, but it's where you can be the matchmaker for your loved ones or your friends. Like, Wingman, get it?

So she went a step beyond just signing up for the app. She bought a billboard in Times Square for her 30-year-old daughter, Molly, to meet a man. I wonder if the daughter is embarrassed. That's what I would think. I know her mom is sick and battling cancer, but you're buying a billboard for your daughter. She has to be like, oh, mom. Yeah, it's a 47-foot by 25-foot billboard in Times Square that says,

date my daughter and it has Molly's photo. And also, you don't have to be married to be happy. No. We should move on from, again, that being normal, that you must be married to be happy or complete. Nope. I was never going to get married until I met Caitlin. meaning I never thought that I was for sure going to get married.

I never met anybody I wanted to marry. I just figured I was who I was, not getting married. And so, yeah, let's not think that getting married is what it takes to be happy. That being said, I'm married and happy. Yeah, you're happily married. Yeah, baby. All right, what else? So Keith Urban's going to be on the road in June with his The Speed of Now tour.

So he reached out to some fans to help him create his set list. and he shared a video of him talking to a fan about what songs she would like to hear. Here's the clip of Tierra. Hi, Tierra. It's Keith Irvin calling. My gosh. How does this happening? Hey, and we're putting the set list together, too. Any songs you want to hear, Tierra?

I like John Cookeger, John 316. Okay. John's song. Done. That will be in the set. What would you want to hear if he called you? Well, you know what was going to be in the set anyway. Right.

He's like, all right, got that. If I went to a Keith Urban show and I didn't hear Take your cat and leave my sweater Because I'm in the two men together You'll think of me, I'd be sad I still can't remember, is it cat or cap It's cat Yeah, he's told us like four times

I forget He's like again He's like yes, it's cat Bovie, it's cat, I'll tell you 11 times By the way, there is an hour long interview Just me and Keith Urban It's an hour and seven minutes exactly Up on the Bobbycast if you want to hear it

One, I mean it's just great Because how often do you get to hear Keith talk for over an hour. It talks about his dad, talks about a lot of the issues he went through. Really great interview a couple weeks back. All right. I talked about Keith already.

All right. Time to wrap this up. The tour kicks off June 17th in Tampa, Florida. I'm Amy. That's your pile. What was that, actually? That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With lunchbox. Tell me something good. A woman in Washington States driving along the highway, when all of a sudden she hits some ice, boom, down an embankment. She's headed down for the icy river, 80 feet below. She crashes, and her car gets stuck between a rock and a tree before she goes all the way down.

So she's stuck 80 feet down there. She climbs out of her car and just starts screaming for help. By the way, isn't that lucky that she was hanging there? Yes. Like she could have kept going and she'd be dead. Crash and died, yeah. But she got out of her car, climbed up a little bit and just screaming for help, and a car driving by happens to see skin marks, gets out, looks over there,

Caesar, calls 911 and they come the rescue crew and they get the ropes and pulley system and they go down and they bring her up to safety. I'll be so scared

because in the movies you do that your car starts leaning one way on the bridge usually and all of a sudden starts to slide like you probably try to get onto the tree

if you can find a safe spot on the tree right? Yes, she got off the car and stood on something on the ledge and just yelled and how about the person that saw this?

I wouldn't. I would see skid marks and go, oh, man, that's all. Just keep going. I don't think I would stop. I don't think it makes me a bad person. I think that makes me a normal person. But it makes that person, like, awesome. Because they were like, let me just see what, you know, what happened here.

I mean, I drive now, and because of these stories, I do look in ditches. Like, while I'm driving through, I'm like, oh, I'm not. I thought that you said you weren't going to help people. He doesn't stop anymore, but now he's Mr. Hero. I never see cars down there, guys. Okay, you'll be on that He Road Show at the end of the year that Anderson Cooper does. All right. All right, that's a good story.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Caitlin's parents are staying with us. They've been here the last couple days because they came in for her surprise birthday party and they're great. Love them. I'm always excited whenever they get here. It's her parents, so she's excited, but, you know,

she's had them her whole life. Me, I like it when they're around. And they also listen to the show. They live, you know, right outside of Muskogee, Oklahoma. And so we're on there in Tulsa and they listen to the show. They're like the only family I have that actually listens to this show. That's cool. Caitlin doesn't listen.

Arkansas Keith kind of listens. Sometimes, sometimes, but he's usually in the woods, honestly. Yeah. Sometimes I'll text and be like, hey, can come on the show? And he'll get me three hours later. I was like, man, we were duck hunting all morning. I didn't get to hear it. So pretty much the only family that listens to this show is her parents.

Your family listens, Eddie? No. I mean, my parents live in San Antonio. We're on there on KJ97. I don't even think they listen to that. But my mother-in-law, she listens every day. I found out over the break. Because she acts like, oh, I don't really.

She asked like, oh, yeah, yeah, I know Bobby, Amy and everything. And then she mentions something specifically that we talked about. I'm like, you listen. She's, I do, I do, almost every day. Amy, does your family listen? My mother-in-law listens. And then I think my sister occasionally can pick it up. She's in Colorado, but close to New Mexico.

So she picks up it on that station. I mean, most people go, we can't believe your whole family doesn't listen. You're on the air. They don't care. I know. I'm like, I think my sister, maybe if she's in the car. But my mother-in-law, she does.

She's supportive. Well, shout out to all of our family who does listen. Sounds like just our in-laws listen. Basically, because it's new to them, baby. Yeah. All right, let's go do the morning corny. The morning corny. How do mountains stay warm?

How do mountains stay warm? They put on their snow caps. All right, cute. Bobby hated it. That was the morning corny. We've just been doing this bet for like two years. So I think mostly it's hard. It's just hard, you know?

It's very hard. But sometimes when you hit it, when we laugh, we're like, dang, that's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also, I don't, although there's snow on the ground out here today, you know, the snow humor doesn't only hit me because I never see it. Oh, dang, because I had another snow one for you.

I mean, I would do a snow white. That's funny. That's a movie. Okay. No. This is what falls in the winter, but never gets hurt. It never gets hurt? Yeah.

It's a riddle. Yeah. Well, whatever. Morning riddle. Okay, fine. I quit. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, nonprofit Christian University based in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.

The Friday morning conversation with Marin Morris.

Marin, how are you? I'm good. How are you? Doing pretty good. You would be here with us, but there is a massive snowstorm. There's quite the accumulation of snow outside. What is it like outside where you are right now? It's snowing. It's beautiful. But yeah, definitely staying inside today. We are trapped. We're confused on if our cars can make it. We were having this debate. Like if we had to leave right now, who has a strong enough car or truck to actually get out through the snow?

Are you guys good if you needed to go to the grocery store? Do you have a big four-wheel drive? I mean, Ryan has a truck. I don't think my Tesla would make it to the store safely. What was the moment for you when you were still living in Texas where you thought, man, I've got to go to Nashville. Like, what was it that made you move? I'd taken a couple trips to Nashville,

and I hadn't really taken the full plunge, but I was saving money, just being a receptionist at my parents' hair salon, and I wanted to move to Nashville. and not have to like immediately find work. I wanted to just throw myself into songwriting. And I think in Texas, it gave me such a great springboard of like a rich music culture to grow up in in my teens. But moving to Nashville, I wanted to be, you know, a professional songwriter.

And, you know, obviously I'm biased because I live here now and it's my home. But I feel like the best songwriters in the world live in Nashville. So that's what prompted me to come here. So we know you now as, you know, a superstar. But when you first moved to Nashville, is it hard sledding at first? Like, hard to get people to ride with you, hard to get people to care. Yeah, I think my whole strategy, even to this day, is like underplay everything. And don't come into the room assuming that people know who you are or talking a big game.

Just like wait your turn and know that you're good. It's not about, you know, being meek or watering down your confidence or your talent. It's just about like respect and knowing that there are so many talented people. in this town. So I really slow played it and I still kind of keep that motto to this day, like don't oversell because, you know, it kind of ends up being disappointing in the end and you don't want people thinking that like you're rubbing them the wrong way. So I was definitely very shy. But it was hard. It was hard to get rights. But you just have to like put yourself out there and go to shows by yourself even though you feel super lame. But that's honestly how I

ended up like making friends and getting co-rights. And some of those co-writes are, you know, written, co-written by my best friends today. So yeah, it's hard in the beginning, but the payoff is worth it. You got a new song that's out today. I'm always curious because this, you know, is a very anticipated new project from you. Do you have to kind of lock this down so it doesn't leak out early?

Yeah, I'm probably a little overly paranoid about stuff like that. Like, I'm not that cool to have a giant leak. But, yeah, I mean, I've sent it around to friends and, like, my team and obviously my co-writers. But, yeah, we try to keep some air of, you know, mystery or element of surprise as much as you can. But, yeah, I think we kind of accomplished that. But here we are. It's out. So circles around this town.

We've been playing it all morning. And you wrote this with Ryan, with Julia Michaels and with Jimmy Robbins. And so tell me about this. Did you all four write this in the same room? And do you get in the room and go, all right, I got this idea. How does this song come together? Yeah, I epically failed at the Zoom co-writing phase everyone was in in 2020. So I just decided, like, I don't really want to write over a computer until we can safely do it in person.

So we all quarantined in the fall of 2020 so we could be in person with Julia and Jimmy, because obviously Ryan and I are in the same house. But yeah, we all rode at Jimmy's place. And it was my first time writing with Julia. And obviously, she's a mega talented songwriter and artist in her own right. And yeah, I just, you know, I tried to come prepared and, you know, writing with her. I wanted to come with something. So I had the title circles around this town.

And the hardest thing when you're writing with people that are writers but also artists is figuring out who are be writing for today. And I was outvoted and everyone decided this was going to be mine. But I'm glad that they pushed me in that direction because they were right. So as you guys are writing the song, let's say you're not even finished yet. You haven't declared who is actually going to get the song. Is that what I'm hearing? I mean, I think in the first 30 minutes, we were trying to figure out what the first verse would say, because I had the chorus pretty flushed out. And Julia was just like, when did you move to town? And I was like about nine years ago.

And she just started kind of quizzing me on my background. And what she was doing very brilliantly and very slyly was getting lyrics out of it. And then it was decided that it was my story. And we just, I really leaned into it in the second verse where I kind of name drop older songs of mine that kind of were the stepping stones to where I am now. But it ended up being one of my favorite songs to kick off this whole record. and yeah, it's probably the most specifically autobiographical song in my repertoire. Marion, you said one thing you hope not to do this year in 2022 is fall on stage.

Have you ever fallen on stage in the middle of a big show? I mean, I've had some close calls wearing heels, tripping on cords, but not fully eating it. But, I mean, now that I say that, it's going to happen this year. Yes, yes, you have sealed your destiny. I was watching, maybe it was an Instagram live, there was some clip, and you were doing the 21 questions, which was really funny, by the way, great content there. And you were talking about, I think the question was, what's the weirdest thing in your closet? And you said something about all the fake hair. Like, what does that mean exactly? And how much fake hair is in there?

More than I would care to admit. I mean, Ryan is so curious slash grossed out by it because it's just dead hair that belong to someone else. If you think about it, it is really bizarre. But yeah, there's there's some clip-ins there's some like wigs in there there's some fake bangs um just you know every shade of color because i changed my hair a lot so yeah there's there's there's a lot in there there's there's a lot in there and it's probably just all some russian girl that's another thing that you were talking about because i really love that 21 questions thing where you were talking about uh i think the wildest thing you had done and i was going to ask you about this anyway was that because i talked to ryan uh your husband about it was you getting

in that fighter jet. So does someone call you and say, hey, Marin, we'd like for you to do this? Or do you kind of reach out and go, if anybody's got a fighter jet, I'd love to hop in one. Definitely the former. I don't know if I could ever be ballsy enough to reach out and be like, put me in this jet with you. But no, the Thunderbirds, the Air Force Thunderbirds reached out to me last summer. And I think Old Dominion recently did something similar where you do the training and you have to learn how to like train your body into going into, you know, G-force. And, you know, knowing what I know now, I probably would have backed out because it was so intense. But I'm really glad that I did it.

I scared the F out of myself. And I'm, you know, I'll never do it again. But it was such an honor and just meeting all of those guys and women and, you know, being trained to go into the jet. I didn't throw up and I didn't pass out. So I feel like that was a huge win. And they actually told me that shorter women, because I'm 5-1, fare better with gravitational force. And they don't get as sick or lightheaded as like tall men do.

So I kind of hung that over Ryan's head. Marin Morris is on with us. Help me just understand this jet because you're in it. And it looks awesome. You have a picture that you can frame and is an amazing picture for the rest of your life. And you can show your kids, you know, kids eventually, if that's the case. But you get in this thing. Is it like an intense roller coaster, or is it so much more than even, you know,

the craziest roller coaster you've been on? I remember there was a roller coaster at the Six Flags in Arlington, Texas that was called G-Forst, and you would lay back and then it would take you up and then drop you. And I guess it was sort of similar to what I did. I think I got up to five Gs. We were supposed to go up to 10. but yeah, it was a short trip. But yeah, it was a really claustrophobic environment.

It's really tiny. And I can't imagine being in the single person planes because obviously I'm with a pilot. I'm not flying it. But it was very wild. They give you these G pants or it's called the G-suit and these pants you put on. The second you go into G-Force, they fill up with air. So it's compressing your blood flow. flow in your legs and moving it up to your head because the reason people pass out is because

the G-force makes all the blood rush out of their head and that's when like the lights go out. So I mean, but it was it was a lot of a lot of work. But I just have so much more respect than I even had for anyone that is a pilot or in our armed forces that flies those jets because not only do they have to stay aware while going into doing loops and going into G-force, but they also are sometimes in combat, and it's just insane that they can function while up there.

Yeah, if I had those pants that wouldn't be filling with air, I tell you that. There may be air in them, but it's not going to be just air. I have two final questions for you, Mirren. By the way, Mirren Morris is on with us. Brand new song, Circles around this town. We've been playing it all morning. We'll play it again a little later. Okay, two questions. My first one, I saw that picture of you and Amy Polar. I'm such a massive fan of Amy Polar.

Read her book. Watch everything she does. How did that picture come about? And also, who asked for the picture? Because sometimes I'll also get to be around people that are kind of cool, but I don't want to ask for a picture because I don't want to be that person. So how did you get the guts to ask for the picture or did you not? I did. I asked her.

And I actually thought of you because I know you've said, as long as someone is not, you know, with their children, and you're a fan of them, it is totally okay for you to go up. say that you are, you admire somebody. And they would hopefully be, you know, flattered. But I, I never go up to people because I just don't want to bother them. But this one, you know, Amy Poehler, growing up watching her on SNL was so formative in my like junior high and high school years. It's like who we would watch every Saturday night. And she was so funny. And then obviously parks and rec and mean girls and every iconic thing she's been in. I just thought, you know, what the heck?

I'm going to go up to her. We were at this, the Beatles documentary that just came out a few months ago on Disney Plus. They were having a party at Henson Studios in L.A. And my producer Greg was playing at it. And so we just randomly went last minute. But Janet, my manager and I left kind of early because I was shooting like album artwork all day and I was exhausted.

So we left early. and Amy and her manager were also doing the same thing. And so we had a moment where it was just the four of us all leaving and getting our coats. And I was like, I'm going up to her right now. And I just said, you know, I also had like two margaritas. So I think that was probably part of it. But I had the guts to go up to her. And I just said, look, I don't want to bother you, even though I am about to.

But I'm such a fan of yours and your humor. as not just a woman, but just as a human being that's shaped so much of my upbringing is just so special to me and always will be. That's all I want to say. Good night. And then she turned to me, and she was like, I know who you are. And she was like, I'm a huge fan and I love the high women. And I was just, I wanted to ball. And then I said, can we get a picture? And in the photo that I posted, you can actually see, like I look like I need to be medicated because there are tears in my eyes. But it was just so special. I think when you know that you're never going to see someone like that again,

just go for it. I love it. And I, yes, I don't have the courage to do that. But I do say if you love someone's work and they're not with their kids and they're not eating, go tell them because they probably want to be told that. I mean, you love to be told that, right, Miranda? You're a superstar. People would think that's Merrin Morris.

I don't want to bother her. But don't you like people going, hey, your song has changed my life. As long as they're not reaching their hand into your macaroni, it's all good. Yeah, I'm always so floored when people have the guts to come up to me because I don't have the guts to go up to people most of the time. But yeah, it's a huge honor. And I think if you start becoming like a jerk about it, you should probably just call it a day and retire because like if you remember your 10 year old self, that's what you like thought would be the coolest thing is people coming up and saying that they're a fan of your work. Last question. You have a new song out.

But is this, you know, the first part of a new project where we're going to get a whole lot more? Yeah, I'm an album gal. I love making full records. And it's the first kickoff. So it's been about three years since I've put new music out. And this just felt like the first, the best first chapter to release. And it's upbeat. I really at the beginning of the year just wanted to hear something.

It was jangly and fun and hopefully inspiring. And I, yeah, so there's an album coming. It's imminent. Well, and I'll wrap on saying this, that we have a little set up at the house. So if I'm doing any remote TV stuff, we have a little fake set. And in the background, I have two music things. It's your first album and Keith Urban. And way back in the day, it was a little note you wrote on there.

I just, you know, love the music and love you and Ryan so much. So whenever you do get the new album, I need a new, like, framed album to put there because I'll only replace you with you. That's the deal that you don't care that I'm making with you, but I'm making with you right now. So when you get the new album, I'm holding that spot for you to put that album, that large vinyl print there as well. You're the first vinyl that I will send out. I do have a question. Which Keith Urban? It is not this last record, but the one before that. And you're putting me on the spot because I remember no names of any records at all. So it's the one with John Cooger, John Deere, John 316, that album right there. John's hung. Yeah. Yes. They're all good. It's hard to pick.

But I'm honored to be up there with him on your wall. Graffiti U is the name of that album. There it is. And I promise I didn't Google that. All right. Marin, so glad you have a new song out. The radio, the streaming services are better when you have music out that people are loving and listening to. So thank you for spending time with us.

And hopefully we'll see you soon. Thanks. Y'all enjoy the snow day. All right. Bye, Marin. Bye. It's time for the good news. It's Bobby. Tell me something good. Shortly after the deadly tornado ripped through parts of Western Kentucky last month,

Sharon Sutherland decided she wanted to do something to help. The Anderson County teacher had a car that she no longer needed. So she thought maybe she'd give it to somebody who lost theirs in the tornado. She reached out to the Anderson County Sheriff who connected her with Rebecca Marsala, whose car was destroyed at the Mayfield Consumer Products Candle Factory, you know the factory that was demolished. Yeah. So Rebecca was trapped in the rubble of the building for five hours

before rescue was founder and spent several days in the hospital recovering. So on the 26th, Sutherland drove four hours to meet and just hand over the keys to the Dodge Stratis to Rebecca who needed a car. I mean, it was as easy as that. I have this, I don't need this, and then she drove four hours to give it to her. So let us shout out Sharon Sutherland. That's pretty awesome. The women shared a hug.

and Rebecca said, hey, this means everything. I just want to tell her how grateful and how honored I am. That's a good story. That's a good person doing a good thing. And that is what this segment is all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

details. You know, of all our sponsors on the show, is there a more organic sponsor than Sonic having sponsorship rights to the studio? No. I don't think there is. Pretty cool how it all worked out. I'm probably there three times a week. Maybe more, but that's legitimate. Let's go over and do the news. Let's go. Bobby's Big. Stories. Researchers have determined the people who are obsessed with celebrities are less intelligent. So if you are, anyone here? I, I, I, I, I feel like maybe when we were younger, we may have been a little more. I almost am annoyed by celebrities now. More than obsessed with celebrities.

There's a direct association between celebrity worship and poorer performance on cognitive tests. So, okay, what are you obsessed with? Amy. Lately puzzles and birds. And how deep is your obsession? Like, I'm always... Have one that I'm working on, and I have a bird chart, and I talk to my birds. I feed my birds.

That's an obsession, good. Yeah, what's yours? I mean, I would say sports in general, but if I'm going to really get down to it, it's Arkansas sports. So not just watching, but following recruiting, watching every game. I'm on the message boards. You know, I'm a booster to the pro. Yeah, you're all in. So it's sports, but it's Arkansas Razorback Sports in particular.

Like every day all the time. Like that's my obsession. It has been my whole life. It's the only time I feel rage when they lose a bad game. I don't get angry at things. unhealthily just go, I'm going to put that in a different part of my body and address it later. But when they lose, like, I see red. Oh.

Eddie? Lately, video games. I mean, right now I'm playing a game called Retro Bowl on my phone. It's like Tecmo Bowl. And I can't stop playing it. It's so bad that when my wife asked me to do something, I grunt and go, oh, like, give me 10 minutes, please. Do you think about it when you're not playing? Yes.

Yes, because you can take your team all the way to the Super Bowl. And that's my goal every single day. A woman returns a long-lost class ring that she found in her car. Her name's Caitlin Manningly. She dropped her key fob under her seat. And she was looking for it. And she found a class of 1980 ring from the College of William and Mary. She noticed Bruce W.P engraved on the inside.

She reached out to the school. They put her in touch with Bruce Patterson. The school connected those two. And he then rewarded her with a free flight anywhere in the United States. Oh, wow. So that's from the William and Mary of the school who put the story out there. Amy is still missing her class ring. Yeah, that gives me hope.

And how much is the reward overall for Amy's ring? Did you say 500? I did. And we're getting money. You did. Because I also pitched in on that. Oh, you did? I forget the breakdown of it.

Me too. Me too, because I think I could buy a new ring for 500. Yeah, but don't you want the original Aggie ring? Oh, yeah, I would love it. Yes, because it's, yeah. I mean, a replica would be nice, but of course the original is better. If you were sending people to look for this ring. Oh, gosh.

Because it's a Texas A&M. Aggie Ring. Where would you send them to look? I think it's likely in Southern Pines, North Carolina, near Fort Bragg area, check the pawn shops. Because I don't know. My house was broken into. Oh, that's right. Yeah, when my husband was stationed there and I was in Austin, you know, because he would deploy.

So he was deployed. I was in Austin doing the show with y'all. And someone broke into our house. And they stole his Air Force Academy ring, which he ended up buying a new one because he had to have that. And then I've just kind of been, I don't know if it got stolen there or I lost it somewhere else. But it is in that town. Well, $500 is what we're offering. And eventually we'll get the breakdown in who's offered what money.

Yeah. Because I'll probably up it. And it says Amy E. Moffitt engraved on the inside. And it's gold because they have different colors. But I got a gold one with a teeny tiny diamond in the middle. What if I started wearing my high school graduation ring around my neck with the necklace now? Does that be cool again? Does that have a stone on it?

Yeah, a clear one. I'm born in April. What stone is that? Diamond, but it's not diamond. It's like polished crystal, I think. Finally, videos posted online show a bunch of what appear to be 20-somethings, partying in the cabin of a plane and Cancun for New Year's Eve, but people are raging in the aisles, and they couldn't stop them from partying.

At least they're not fighting, right? Yeah. If I'm on a flight, I've said this before. If I'm on a flight and there's not an incident, I'm going to be disappointed now. Like, I got paid for tickets to the show. I feel like every airplane up in the air now, there's going to be some sort of show that happens. But, yeah, there were people all over. They couldn't stop them.

There were, you know, people partying, screaming, dancing, avoiding any sort of protocol. You'd be pretty upset at this, right? I'd be super upset. But I'd come back with the story. I'd be happy that there was nothing, but I'd be a little disappointed that every other story I reads about something crazy going on an airplane. So that's from TMZ. Yes, Amy. You sighed.

Because it's just crazy. It's like up in the air It's like International waters We can do whatever you want Right No laws You're over like 10,000 feet

No laws baby Go to town They're stabbing They're gambling Cussing All right Cussing Well I don't know

I'm thinking You've been stabbing Your kids get to cuss That's what it is Okay that's what's up That's the news Thank you guys Those were

Bobby's big Stories We have a couple Lunchbox calls here The first one You call a gym because of your New Year's resolution. Is that true? Well, yeah, I'm Buff Bill, and I've been going to the gym for a long time,

and all these newbies are going to be there taking up the equipment, so I want them to kick the newbies off the equipment and save it for Buff Bill. You want to reserve the equipment? Yeah, I want to reserve workout equipment. Okay. Okay, here we go. Here is Buff Bill calling the gym. This is Buff Bill. How you doing? I'm doing well in yourself. You know, just I like being buff, and I know the New Year's coming up. It's New Year time, and that means a lot of new memberships.

You know what I mean? The gym gets awful crowded New Year's, you know? Uh-huh. And I've been coming for years getting buff, you know, and I'm just wondering if I can reserve equipment. So, you know, because I don't want to be dealing with Fatty Patty and Pudgy Phil trying to take up all the equipment. What?

I don't know if we have, um, if you can reserve equipment. I don't think we do that at the specific location. Yeah, I know. But New Year's, it's always busy, you know. It's like, you know in one week, pudgy Phil, he ain't going to be coming in. Yeah. Well, I hope they would continue from their own goals. Right.

I want them to reach their goals, but not at the expense of Buff Bill. You know, like, I need the 20-pound dumbbells. You can just put my name on them and say, hey, newbies, kick rocks. You can't use those. Definitely if you, if there's someone who, like, you know, you feel after a while hasn't really done much, then, yes, I would say come to the front and be like, got you. So what you're saying, what you're saying is when I show up, when I show up, I'm like,

here's $20. You get a pudgy fill out of the gym for a little bit, let me work out. Not for $20. I'm dead. Pudgy Phil. Okay. And he went back to Pudgy Phil over and over. Poor Phil.

I was trying to work out. I forgot about fatty patty halfway through. Oh. A few things from that call. One, how great is she? Yeah, awesome. People trying to get healthy. Number two is, to be Buff Bill, and he's like those 20s.

Buff Bill doesn't live 20s? Buff Bill lives like 40s or 60s. And then third of all, and I will say this, if there was a guy named Buff Bill, he'd probably sound like lunchbox. Totally. Real deep voice. Yeah. Okay, you want to hear another call?

This one, I was like, I don't know if this is going to work or not. But there was a new story about a guy who was arrested because he was tricking people into changing his diaper as an adult. He said he needed an adult babysitter. Yeah. So this is Lunchbox calling to get a babysitter but for himself. Anything you want to say lunchbox about this? Yeah, I just called a babysitting service and I tried to like make it sound like a kid, but you know what I mean? But it was really for me.

And I mean, I think it could work. Okay, here's lunchbox calling a babysitter for himself. This is for service? Yes, I'm looking to get a babysitter. maybe three to four times a week. Okay, we can help you with that. I just, and I'm going to need, like, I need the babysitter to be, like, physically strong and mentally strong because it's going to take a lot to move me around.

Okay. You know, and then, like, getting in and out of the bath, you know what I mean? It's just going to be hard. And, like, I need someone that can really take care of my diapers because they're a lot bigger than normal. Your diaper? Yeah, like, I mean, the diapers. You know how you wear diapers and you have to go to the bathroom? And so you just go in the diaper?

I need someone that can change that. For you? Yeah, I mean, for me because I need someone to like, you know, feed me and I need someone that can cook because I eat a lot depending on the day. And so sometimes I'm hungry and so I need a good cook. A babysitting service for babies, you know? Yeah, I have three babies, but my wife takes care of them. And then I just sometimes I like to feel like a baby.

I like to be treated like a baby. so that's why I'm calling for a babysitter. Like, I'm willing to pay you double your normal rate. Is this like a sexual thing? I don't think it's sexual. I just think it's, you know, it makes me feel good and happy. And, you know, I just like to eat. Sir, that's not really what we do here.

That's kind of creepy. And there she goes. And then she called the girl the gym. I was like, did but Bill call you trying to get a diaper change? Okay, good job. Those are funny. Those are funny. Good job.

Bobby Bones Show Bonehead Norrie of the day This story comes to us from Indiana Two women wanted some hush puppies from Lawn John Silver So they pull up to the drive-thru And they're like, we just want to order

One hush puppy And the lady said, sorry, we sell them two For a $1.95. They said, no, I only want one. Said, ma'am, I can only sell you two for $1.95. Some cursing ensues, passenger gets out of the vehicle, goes inside,

destroys the restaurant, and tax the drive-to-worker. I wonder if she only had money for one. Did she only have a dollar? I mean, could they not... I don't know if she's supposed to give away food. But if she only wanted one, why did she only want one?

Because they're good. I'd like four or five when I happen. You know, I wonder what was really happening here. If she really could only afford one or if she was just on something. They think there was something in the system. In her system? In her body.
