Morning. Morning. Let's go to Clint in Mississippi, who's on the phone. Clint. Yes. You're on the air, but what's happening? Hey, morning, studio. Morning.

Hey, I just wanted to stand out how much I appreciate your show. My daughter and son like to hear y'all and the morning's corny and when the lunch spot goes out. I really think y'all are doing a good thing and keep up to good work. I appreciate that. Nothing like an add-a-boy call to get the day started. I like that. Hey, Clint, have a good day today.

All right. Is there any way I can get a shout out to my daughter, Evie and Ollie? You just did it. Do it again. Do it official, though. And now, where do you live in Mississippi? Brookhaven, Mississippi. Where what?

Brookhaven. Oh, Brookhaven. Yes. Okay. And now from... It's the summer here. Okay. I used to summer here.

Got you. And now from Brookhaven, Mississippi. Clint. Go ahead, Clint. Have a good day. Good care with your daycare. All right. There he is.

Yeah. Love it. All right. Clint, thanks for listening, but I talk to you soon. All right. Bye.

All right. Let's see what's happening in everybody's lives in a segment we call What's the Haps. Hey! What's the Haps? I have a new favorite show.

Oh, what's that? It's watching my dog on this camera that I have. Yeah. Is it funny? Well, I just can't stop watching it. And, you know, he has his own room. He doesn't have to stay in there all the time anymore. I've really integrated him.

into just chilling in the house most of the time. He'll sleep in his bed at night in his room. But he has this camera, and it's not a furbo or whatever. I don't know, it's a different brand. Because I'm not doing furbo. This is not an endorsement. But I can watch the camera, and it has a night vision on it, so I can also watch him at night.

Oh, yeah, wow. But I've been binge watching the Stanley the Dog Show like crazy. He does nothing. He'll just lay in the bed, and I'll just watch him. Maybe it's the whole voyeur type thing, Like you're not supposed, like you don't... You're not supposed to be looking at that. Yeah, I don't know.

He doesn't know I'm watching him. Yeah. And also I can kind of, I always wonder what he's doing, like when the door's closed. Yeah. And sometimes he'll be in there. If I come home and he'll want to come out and be like, oh, and I just picture him standing by the door, like begging to get out. He doesn't. He lays in bed or plays with a toy and then goes, oh, and then gets back to playing with a toy again.

Oh, yeah. And then it has this speaker on it. You can push a button and you can talk to him through the speaker. And so I'll be like, Stanley, what's up, dude? Because they're like, comfort your dog with, a warm message from their owner. They're like, Stanley, what's up, dude? But when you hear it in person, it sounds like this,

Stanley, what's up, dude? It's all muffled, so it sounds like Satan's in the box. So it's not warm and comforting to him. If anything, it freaks him out. And then it has this treat button to where you push it, and it goes, and it shoots a treat out. And the treat ends up going into play. Sometimes it doesn't even shoot a treat out,

and he's used to treats coming out. So he's like looking for it when there's no treat that came out. Yeah. And then eventually he just gets irritated and knocks it off the wall. I just swipe it and knock it off. But it's a pretty cool little camera. I feel like I might need to get one. Should I say the name of it?

It looks fun when you... It's not an endorsement. No, because I want to get one. It looks fun when you post it. Like, I like when you post about it. So it's kind of... Does that make it one of my favorite TV shows, too? Well, you can't watch it.

I watch what you post. Yeah, but you can't watch the show, though. Right now... The live show. It's on in his room, but he's not in his room. It's like Big Brother for Stanley. One dog. Yeah.

And so it's just... One dog all the time. And then you can move the camera, you just move it around? You know, what do you think this is? Big Brother? I thought I've seen it in different rooms. Oh, you can physically move a camera, but no, it just... Oh, yeah, I didn't mean, like, turn it.

No, yeah. Okay. Yeah, you can just plug it in. Like the cameras in the studio? Yeah, where Eddie can actually move them. No, no. No. But it's called...

I'll say this. It's called... I'm not recommending it for anyone. I'm just going to tell you what I use. It's called a W-O-P-E-T. Don't know if it's reliable or not. I know that I'm using it right now, and it's pretty good. But that's my new favorite show.

I'm binging all the episodes. So there you go. Hey! What's the hat? Amy? So I go over curbs a lot and like nothing happens and it's fine. And for whatever reason, when I'm in my husband's truck, sometimes that's when things go wrong.

And I go over curb. I'm at my dad's place. And I guess I hit the curb wrong and it's slice the tire. And all of a sudden I just hear, shh. Oh, no. And so I had a call AAA and they came and put the spare on. and then I had to take it to like tire place to get it like new tire

they couldn't repair it so it had to order a new tire and it's just one of those things where I'm like why why does this have to happen because this isn't the first time it had to happen because you make it you do it it's not random stuff but I think it's in his car I'm not used to like his big truck and he's out of town so I haven't really even told him yet so maybe he's listening now and that's how he finds out but I love when Amy lets her husband

no bad news to the show yeah she does it quite often situation is handled it's like you can't even until it happened. How much was the tire? We're good as new. It wasn't, luckily, it was the back tire, which was cheaper than the front tire

for some reason. I don't know. They got you on that one. No, I love my tire place. For sure. About that. Everything's fine. Oh, it's the front left one.

Oh, that's bad. That's real. We're going to cut your deal on that back right, though, because that's where... Hey, what's the hat? Lunchbox? Man, I had my mind blown

the other day. I found out you could post multiple pictures in one post to Twitter. I would see people do it and I was like, I wonder what special app they have. So I always downloaded apps where you can make a little collage of pictures. But no, you can just click on two pictures

and upload them at one time to Twitter. Unbelievable. I've been on Twitter for what, 10 years? Mind blown. You still don't have your email on your phone, do you? No, do not have that. Do not know how to do that? He sounds like a grandparent. He does. I do not. Yeah.

No, not what he's, how the words, like, he literally doesn't have his email on his phone. No, I have to open up the web browser and type in the email address and it goes there to the website and then I have to log in. Yeah, don't have email on the phone. They can set that up for you here in the building. Like Scoobie can set it up in one second. Morgan number two can set it up.

Uh-huh. No problem. Yeah, but I mean, it was amazing. I mean, just so you guys know, if you did not know, you can post two pictures. I always see people put side by sides. I'm like, how do they do that? You can do four, actually, which I do a lot. You just upload them all, right?

So awesome. Hey, what's the hat? Eddie. Cool special moment went down in my house recently. I have a one-year-old foster kid, in case no one-year-old knew this, but it took his first steps the other day. That's awesome. And, like, you know, I have four kids at the house now.

Two of my own, two foster kids. And it just doesn't get old when you see a baby take its first steps because you start thinking like, wow, these are the first steps of so many for the rest of his life. Eddie's had the baby the whole time. Yeah, we had it as a newborn. Picked him up at the hospital a few weeks after he was born, and he's been at our house since. So, like, when something, I know that their parents,

is that something that y'all reach out to them about, like, hey, he took his first steps? Yeah, we'll shoot a video and we'll send it to him. Oh, okay, that's cool. You text with them? Absolutely. That would be good for them to see. And it was weird.

My wife does it. I don't do it. My wife does it, and she had to kind of get permission to see if it was okay, because we did want their parents to be in the loop of special things like this. And they said, just, it's up to you. You want to have that connection with them? You can. If not, you don't have to.

Since you're the only parents that baby's known, do you feel like the baby's parents? 100%. Yeah. And you're right. The baby looks at us like I'm dad and my wife's mom, period. And will you have to give those kids back anytime soon? I don't know. I don't know.

You know, where we're at, where we're at in the whole situation is, it looks like the parents might be losing their rights pretty soon to these kids. Which is probably good and bad. Which is good and bad because they've been in our house for a year. But I guess the weird part is that they really can resist to losing their rights and it can last for another year. So we may just have them at home for another year and not know what's going on. Dang, man.

Yeah, there you go. That's what's the haps? Hey! What's the haps? Here's the Bobby Bones Show podcast, highlight segment of the day. Got a question here from an 8-4-3 area code. They say, hey, I have a question for Amy. Has she ever encountered negativity about her kids concerning race, adoption, et cetera?

How did she handle it? I mean, I feel like over the two years that they've been here, like they came from Haiti. And so, yes, they have, my daughter says her skin is brown. And we've gotten some looks, but mostly the comments I get is people don't believe I'm their mom. And then when I say, like, sometimes there's like just looks of just looks of just, judgment and kind of confusion and not like, oh, that's awesome. Like, where are they from? Or where, where, I mean, because they could be from here in America or they could be from

another country. But really, it's just like they don't believe that I'm their mom. And I feel like some people just question who I am. And I'm like, I'm their mom. I'm their mom. I promise. It's fine. But no. Do people look at you confused? Like, wait, is this, what's happening? Yeah. It's mostly other. That's the most frustrating thing. That's what's frustrating. I'm fortunate to have not encountered, like, too much judgment of, like, against their race. But it has been, like, what, I think why are you their mom? You're not, you're not the same color. She's just walking around with a card.

Okay, you're looking at me funny. Here's my business. Here's my card. Read this. Hit me back in, like, five minutes. We walk back through the grocery store. So many times they look at them. Like, so many times it's happened with my son on his bike, he'll be riding it

way ahead of me. And women will, other moms that are concerned will stop him and be like, where is your parent? They're like, my mom is back there. And they'll, they're looking right at me. And they're like, where? I don't see your mom. Where? And he's like, that's my mom right there. And just because I'm white, they like act like I'm not there. Do you have conversations with your kids about that at all? Yes, because they know that I'm different. Sometimes I want to make sure they feel

comfortable and okay. Like, are they, I don't want them to just see white people everywhere. I want them to feel included because for them, a lot of times I know they're walking into a room and they're the only ones that look different. And I don't want them to feel that way. So we try to be open about how they're feeling. And are you embarrassed? Sometimes I wonder. my daughter's 12, she was 13, and like kids at school, like if I'm there with her, they'll be like, that's your mom. So that's kind of explained that people just don't believe I'm their mom. And then for her, I don't want that to be uncomfortable.

Like, yeah, my mom's white. But I am. Sometimes I'm uncomfortable that you're white. Yeah. So, but we try to keep it diverse. Well, thank you for that question. You can always email us or text us or even call us. Jordan is on the phone right now in Nashville.

And she said, Food World. And here it is. It's time for Food World. Num, Num, Num, with Morgan Number 2. Duncan Donuts dropped a new donut and it's jelly filled with apple and raspberry jelly, and then it's drizzled with Frank's red hot sauce. Well, interesting.

I bet that's good. I bet you're so tested, though, right? I know we go, ooh, is it good or not? But I bet it's so tested that a lot of people said it was good. Like, I mean, it sounds like my family for Christmas. We like sausage gravy on cinnamon rolls and people think it's disgusting, but it's amazing. There's something about salty, spicy, sweet. And I like Frank's Red Hot.

I do too. It's really good. I did see a story, too, about ice cream that was macaroni and cheese. Did you see that one? Yes. You would like that sound. That doesn't sound good. But again, I had ice cream that turkey and dressing in it, and I thought the same thing.

I thought it was going to be disgusting. And it was pretty good. And this one ice cream shop, do you remember the story? Yeah, I do. And the guy who had it, though, he said the ice cream itself was really good, but they put noodles in it. And obviously when noodles freeze, they get hard. Oh, that would be weird, huh? So the noodle bits and it weren't good to have part of it.

So, like, it was mac and cheese pasta ice cream, basically. So if you just did mac and cheese and did, like, the cheese ice cream, it'd be really good, is what he said. Interesting. Oh, I'm looking at it here. Yeah. I love ice cream. It's one of my favorite foods. You do.

But you like it with that weird stuff. I like soup. I like smoothies I like ice cream like those are three of my four food groups Yeah You do order a lot of soup I love a soup

God I love a soup You know what I like to do And I get judged When I'm doing fancy stuff If I'm in California or New York And I'm with TV people I take my bread I dip it in my soup

Like straight up Don't care I don't care how fancy restaurant They have me at I will go straight bread to soup If that makes me a hillbilly Then Then so we're in

Yeah yaha Is this happening right now at Dunkin' Donuts? It is, but it's only in Florida, so they are testing it to see if it goes well. If it goes well in Florida, it's coming everywhere. Dunkin' Donuts, a donut drizzled with Frank's red-hot original cayenne pepper hot sauce. In my later years of life, not only have I developed a taste, an affinity. Yes, the palate. For cranberry juice, which I have, not cranberry, great fruit juice, which I have a lot with sparkling water.

But I've started really like red hot, like hot sauce on stuff. You a hot sauce person? I used to be, and now it's, things are hotter. to me than they used to be. Like, I used to be able to go hot salsa, and now I buy mild. You go on backwards. I know. I can't even do medium sometimes, so I don't know what's happening. All right. Thank you, Morgan number two, and that's Food World. That was Food World with Morgan number two.

You guys can get in touch with us. It's very easy.

We have an email address just so you can reach out for advice. Morgan number two, what did they email to? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, let's open it up. Bobby's Mailbag. They write, hey Bobby. I've been with my boyfriend for three years. We just recently moved in together.

While cleaning, making room for our stuff, I found a shoebox full of cards. I thought I was sweet that he kept the cards I'd given him over the last three years and open them to reminisce. They were not cards from me, but cards he saved from an X when they were together. I wanted to see how you felt about keeping things from past relationships.

Should I be concerned or ignore the whole situation? Thanks. Sam. First of all, if you're concerned, you shouldn't be with them. Just in general, if you find any reason to be concerned, if it's DMs, if you're like, I'm concerned, you have to address it, and maybe think you don't need to be with him.

It's weird, but at least he doesn't have them out. You know, they're in a shoebox. I'm not going to break the relationship over this. Maybe have a conversation. I just think, I don't have anything like this. But if I did, I wouldn't be keeping them because I was in love still. Did she say sorry how long they've been together?

Three years. Okay. Does your husband have anything? No, but I kept a shoebox full of all kinds of stuff from relationships. But then once I got married, I got, I got rid of them like, they're gone. And the boyfriends I was keeping stuff from, they were married too.

So I was like, there's no point in keeping this stuff. So I got rid of it, but it wasn't like, I don't think it, honestly, I don't think it'd be weird if I still had it, though. I don't either because it's more of a history of your life than it is of you still loving them. Yes. If he was hiding them from you or it was something he just didn't want, or if he freaked out in a really weird bad way when you, then maybe that it's up a tiny red flag,

but we are all just the accumulation of our past. And if it weren't, for those relationships, it didn't work out, he wouldn't be with you. I kind of think it's okay. Do you want him to go

to have a yearbook picture with him and his ex-girlfriend if it's in a yearbook? It's a fine line. And I don't think it's something that should be a big fight. Do you? No, I don't.

What would you do in this situation? It can be a discussion. You should communicate about it because you don't want it to build up and then turn into something way bigger than it needs to be. He honestly might be like, oh gosh, I totally forgot those were back there.

Maybe. Weird. Maybe. Or he might be like, hey, yeah, I like to hang on to stuff. Like, it's that just is what it is. It means nothing to me, but I'm not going to throw it away. Yeah, I think we're kind of on the same page here. I think you have a conversation if it's like burning on you to have the conversation. Speaking of burning,

maybe he's like, well, to prove that I don't care, let's burn them together. Let's not put that in the atmosphere because you may not say that. And then she'll be disappointed. I think that what, what Sam should do, because she's a girl, Sam's a girl. Yeah. She'd go, hey, I found these notes from your.

I was going to the closet. I didn't mean to stumble. I didn't read many of them. But do you want to keep these or do you want me to throw them out? Link, wink. And then if he's like, you know, either way, but I keep them because I like to keep a lot of things from my past. I just don't think it's that big a deal. Right.

That's all I'm saying. If you're secure, be secure. Good? Yeah, I'm good with that. And then when he's gone, throw him away. and I feel like you never know where they went. Don't you do that to your husband as close? But I think, well, like, yeah, shirts and stuff.

But I think approach it in a very calm, mature way. Don't be like, which I don't know if you know some of his ex-girlfriends or what these cards said, but don't approach him aggressively and be like, so when's last time you talked to Lisa? Lisa is such a thing. Something like that, you know. All right, there you go. That's the mailbag.

Thank you. And that was Bobby's Mailbag. Remember, don't make things a bigger deal than you. you have to. You only get a few things you can make a big deal about and it really work. Otherwise, then you're just crazy. So if that's not worth being a big deal, save it. Save you're crazy. Save you're crazy because we all got it. We got to dish it out and good amounts. Morgan number two, if people want to submit something to the mailbag, what do they do again? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. The bobbybone show. All right time for Fun Fact Friday. Its own standalone segment. A spinoff, if you will.

Yeah. Fact number one. Well, today's Garthbrook's birthday. Wow. He's 58 years old today. And the fun fact about him is that he turned down a role in saving Private Ryan. Because apparently he don't want to be cast under Hank's shadow. Who's Nick? Tom Hanks. Oh, Hank's, Shadow.

Yeah. Like if he could be the main role. And then I also saw that, too, he was offered a part in Twister. But he said that Tornado was the star in the movie and he wanted to be the star. I don't know what that far is true. That was a good movie. I was terrible. Oh, I like Twister a lot.

Yeah, I thought it was good. The Garth Brooks acting thing, though, has he ever acted? Not that I'm aware of. I guess because he hasn't been offered the lead role, maybe. He's waiting for that lead role. But anyway, happy birthday, Garth Brooks. Yeah, I love Garth Brooks. Me too.

For sure, for sure, turns 58 years old today, so that's the real fact. I don't feel like those facts were that fun. Okay, so in 2005, a fortune cookie company called Wanton Food Inc. Correctly foretold lottery numbers resulting in 110 winners. Oh, in the cookie, they put the numbers in there and they used them? Yeah, but an investigation was launched and no fraud was involved. Like, people just won. The fortune cookie was right, and then it resulted in 110 winners.

So, hey, yeah, you never know if your fortune cookie might be legit. Well, you know. That was just the one time of all the millions of fortune cookies. But kind of crazy. But that is pretty crazy. And also you use the numbers and you have to split it with 110 people. And you're like, how do so many people win? And they're putting that same number in everybody's fortune.

Yeah. Have you ever been able to solve the Rubik's Cube? No. Okay. But I don't, no, no. You don't take the time. No, it's just not, I'm not good at that. First of all, I'm really bad colorblind and the blues and the greens are very similar.

So you've been to get into this? Sorry. The blues and the greens are tough for me sometimes. And I'm like, I think I may have it. And it's like, no. You're like, are you colorblind or something? I am. Oh, I didn't even think about that when I was asking you this question.

I'm very sorry. So I've never really dove into those because of the color issue. Yeah, that makes sense. Because if you could see, I could see this totally being your thing. You're being like, I can do it in five seconds. Well, the creator of the Rubik's cube, Erno Rubik, it took him one month to solve the cube after he created it. And as of right now, the world record is 3.47 seconds. I don't know that my mind works like those people that can do those rubies cubes.

I know I'm good at trivia and being quick, but I don't know about that. And also I've never tried because I get down. I'm like, I don't know blue from green. No. I know. Sorry about that. All right. Tigers have striped skin, not just striped fur.

The stripes. Is that right? Yeah, I know. I kind of was like, what? And then the stripes are like fingerprints and no two tigers have the same pattern. Huh. Which is kind of crazy. But I mean, that's also crazy when I think about how our fingers are different, too.

What was that sound you just made? Yeah, it sure is. They shaved a tiger in this picture I'm looking at in their skin. It's strives. That's what the strives. That's pretty cool. Pretty cool. Okay. And lastly, a cloud can weigh more than one million pounds.

Clouds are not as light and fluffy as they appear. And yeah, about a million pounds is what they could weigh. That house is floating. Stop it. Gravity. There's no gravity. up there. So it just floats.

Up where? Up in the sky where the clouds are. That's not true. It's got to be, right? You're not accurate with that because airplanes go above clouds, and if an airplane stopped all engines, it would fall. It says the cloud can still float at that weight because the air below it is even heavier. Okay.

Boom. Wrap your mind around that. I'm better than Eddie going, there's no gravity. I believe that. I've skydived from above clouds. That's good. Space, you have to go away. How did we get a show?

Now that I think about that, yeah, that's wrong. Yeah, don't listen to us sometimes when we talk. Okay, there you go. There are my fun facts. I'll give you some stuff to, you know, talk about this weekend. Fun fact Friday. Thank you, Amy. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,

He announced this week that his next album, Southside, will be out on April 3rd. He just shared the first song from it called Hard to Forget. You've got a cold heart and cold hard truth.

I got a bottle of wits. But I got no proof that you showed up tonight and that dress just a mess. And new albums out today, the Cadillac 3 dropped country buzz in Teneal Towns shared her EP called Road to the Lemonade Stand. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinning. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good. Okay, so chef John Doherty, who once ran the kitchens at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, which is like totally fancy-smancy, has used his expertise to create a line of special meals to feed the hungry.

and they come in these little pouches. You know like a tuna pouch that you like rip off? Oh, yeah, the zip tuna packs. Yeah, that's the best way to describe it. Because sometimes when you give homeless or people in need a can of food, they can't open it. That doesn't help them. They don't have a can opener.

And this is a way to have meals like easily that they can get to, that they can just tear open. If they have access to a microwave, great. It tastes great warm. But you can also eat them at room temperature. And they're full of like nutritious ingredients. and 20 grams of protein. So, yeah, I like that.

It's like kind of all, like, fancy, fancy food. Created this line, Heavenly Harvest. One of them is red beans and rice. One of them is three bean chili. I'm going to tell you, I know homeless people like them. Also, they look good to me right now. I know, that's what I'm saying.

Like, the packaging is thoughtful and, like, cute and aesthetically pleasing. Like, and I think that's important, even when you're for all people. Also, college kids, because when I was in college, I was basically eating just noodles. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, good for him for figuring out a way to get anyone that's struggling a bit of food that can be not as expensive and also easy to kind of keep.

And quality, like, full of ingredients and, like, tastes really good and look pretty. Like, I think it's all important. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobbi Bones Show. Bonehead. Story up the day. This story comes to us from Lafayette, Indiana.

A 42-year-old man walked into a gas station, pulled out a night. and said, give me all the money in the register. Only problem is one of the guys working me on the counter was his brother. Thought he had the day off. So he thought it would be a good time to rob it. Also, if someone comes to you with a knife and tries to rob you, and you have a register in between you and the knife, don't you kind of have a way to block them?

Yeah, you have some distance there too. Like, if they can't reach you, what are they going to do, throw the knife at you like a ninja? Right. And then it's his brother. This whole situation probably didn't go right. No, so he turned around and ran out. Police were called and they found him a couple blocks away.

I mean, also, if you're getting robbed with a knife and there's a calendar, there's probably a door backward, he'd just walk in the back. They're like, no, thank you. I don't want to be robbed. Just walk through the, if it's a gun, it's different. They can shoot you. Right. So, did they get the guy?

Yeah, he was arrested. All right, there you go. I'm lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the day. It's a Bobby Bone Show. So Garth Brooks turns 58 years old today. Happy birthday, Garth birthday. Happy birthday.

So we're going to play a game to see how well we know our Garth Brooks songs by the first line. Ooh. Okay. So Garth Brooks is the first artist ever to have hit songs in every decade, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s in 2020. Because Di Bar is about to hit again. Wow.

So it's all a big deal. Since 1989, Garth Brooks has gone on the chart a total of 89 songs on the country chart. 19 number ones. 36 of them have hit the top 10. So we're going to play. Can you name that Garth Brooks song by the first line? Ready.

And Ray Mundo, you're singing the line? Yep. Okay, can you name the title of the song with Ray Mundo? Do you know these songs? Yeah. Okay. Song number one. Blame it all on my roots.

I showed up in boots. Got it. Oh, I got it. Everybody in? In. In for the win. On the count of three, we all should get this one? Yeah.

One, two, three. Friends in low places. Good. Blame it all on my roots. I showed up. That's a good one. Next up, Ramundo, Garthbrook's song. Yes, she's my lady luck.

Hey, I'm her wild card man. You gonna do that again? Yes, she's my lady luck. Hey, I'm her wild card man. I want to put the hay in there. It really makes it easy for me. I'm in for the win. You're not sure, Eddie?

I'm not sure of the exact title. You'll get it. I don't know that I'm sure of the title. You may not. Why? I'm sure of the title. Huge. Huge.

Huge. If it was George Strait, I would be positive in you. Amy? Working on a full house? No, what is it? Lunchbox? Two of a kind working on a full house. Yeah.

It's that long? Yeah, I did two of a kind because I think working on a full house is parentheses. Mike is in parentheses. Oh, father! I have two of a kind working on a full house. If she's my lady, lucky I'm her wild card. Amy, you're out. Next up, Ramundo, sing us a Garth Brooks tune.

Looking back. on the memory of... Got that one. Good job, Ray. I'm in. Raymondo sing it again? Looking back on the memory of... I'm in for the wind.

Lunchbox? The dance. The dance. The dance. There it is. Looking back all the memory of... Three down.

Remundo, what's next? I was feeling the blue. Got it. I'm in. You 100%? Oh, yeah. Sing it again right now? I was feeling the blues.

I'm in for the win. Lunch box? Oh yeah, it's two be and you colladas. It is. Nice. Nice job. I was feeling the blues. I was watching the news.

All right, one more? 3.30 in the morning. I like they're getting shorter. Yeah. Three. It's going to be next time. One word. Try that.

Yeah. I'm in. I'm in for the win. Thunder rolls. Thunder rolls. Oh, come on. Hit us with another one, Raymo, down. Last time I saw her, it was turning colder.

Ooh, nice. Oh. That's where we lose, lunchbox. No. You think so? Yep. I'm in. Lunchbox?

That's summer. What she's doing now. What she's doing now. Eddie, we're just going to call it a tie. No, really? I think you and I'd be here all day long. Yeah, you're right. You're right.

We celebrate Gartho. Happy birthday, Garth, Bros. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So do you have any rules for when you're in bed? I spend so much of my home life in my bedroom, meaning I don't get to be home a lot. I don't go into my living room often. And sometimes I eat in the bed.

So you really don't. Like, it's not like a safe place for, like, no food, no phone, no TV. Like, that's where you do everything. Yeah. The only thing that really doesn't happen in the bed is what you think should happen in the bed. Okay, well, Justin and Haley Bieber, they have a no phones rule in bed. And they say that that's a house rule that they've established.

And they try to read more. And they just want to, they're practicing nesting. And so once they're in the bed, phones go away and they do not have them out. Didn't you at one point have a rule of your husband, no TV in the bedroom? Yes. And we had no TV for much of our marriage. That changed about three years ago. And I love it.

And now you love the TV in the bedroom. Yes. But I think that I was thinking when I read this, I was like, my husband and I, we need to implement something like this. Like, because one, we want to read more, two, we can just end up being on our phones. It's not good for you to have that screen time before you go to bed, something to do with the, what scientists say with the blue light. So I'm like, you know what?

I just need to put it away. I enjoy watching TV in bed. And people say if you do everything in bed, you don't sleep as well in bed. Well, crap, I'm more comfortable in bed. I'm just like, I love my bed. Yeah. Yeah. All right, what else you got?

Okay, so Gerber is searching for their next ambassador baby for 2020, and the search is on. So parents have until February 21st to submit a photo and a story and a chance to have their baby be the Gerber baby of the year. And all you get to do is go to photosearch.gurber.com. Eddie's the only one. Oh, no, lunchbox, you have a baby. Oh, my gosh, is your baby going to be born in time? Yeah.

Okay. Do it. We should submit it. I mean, I wonder how much that pays. I mean, it could be, who knows. You know, that baby's really famous. It's got to be millions. Can you imagine lunchbox?

No, it won't be millions. Oh. But can you imagine Lunchbox his baby Upstages him? Because he's already been mad when Eddie's kids go viral.

Correct. Lunchbox has never gone viral and he gets mad when his kid does. Mike. Isn't the role as a parent you should be happy for your kid like you should be happier

that your kid gets to do something you don't get to do? Yes, it is. And if they accomplish something later in life, yes. But just going viral for being a picture that would make me mad.

But if it gets paid a lot of money, I guess I'll let him do it. Because you get the money? Yep. Would you save it for his college or would you just spend it. No, I'll probably spend it. I mean, because you got to pay to raise the kids. Good for you. Good for you. Amy? Okay, so just quick story that is amazing because Bobby, I know you don't

have the best relationship of potholes, but this guy was in an ambulance and the ambulance went over a pothole and the dip and the whatever it did to him, it saved his life. It restarted his heart. Yeah, medics said the man's heartbeat suddenly returned to normal after it went over the pothole. So it's almost like what his body needed to jolt back into whatever it needs. to do. It's struggling and then, boom. Yeah. Pop his heart right back in a place.

So sometimes potholes can be good. Let me go to Michael real quick in Virginia. We've got just a few seconds. Hey, Michael. What's up, bud? Hey, what's going on, man? I just wanted to call and say thank you from me being personally on a road from being a quadriplegic.

Just hearing all your positivity that you all spread every day, man. It's so loving and so wholesome, man. And thank you all. Well, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. Thanks for listening. Thanks for calling. And all you guys at call,

Like, we appreciate that because we know your mornings are busy. And in fact, you'll pick up your cell phone and wait on hold for 5, 10, 20, 30 minutes, however long it takes. Like, we appreciate that. So, thanks for listening. Thanks for calling. Amy, wrap us up here. I'm Amy, and that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. Remember last week when I was telling you the story about that brewing company who was putting dogs on the cans? Yes. And they were like, hey, here are some dogs that could use adopting. And you would get them on your cans and you get the beer.

Yeah, smart. Okay, we'll have an update to this. A Minnesota woman recognized her dog that's been missing for three years. No way. On a beer can from Motor Works brewing. Monica Mathis says she was scrolling through Facebook when she saw the viral story about the adoptable dogs being put on beer cans at a Florida brewery. Quote, I saw one of my dogs. I was like, wait, that looks like my dog.

She said that her dog named Day Day, the one that was on the can, it looked like the dog that she helped deliver back in the day and kept. And she searched for her, called the shelters, and eventually got reunited with the dog. Wow. They checked a microchip. And the name had been changed, but the information was the same. And so that's how they found the dog.

Isn't that crazy? Oh, yeah. Once I got the confirmation, I just couldn't believe this was actually my dog. how Hazel got from the Midwest down to Florida, they say is unknown. And the transportation is being paid for by Friends of Manatee County Animal Services. And thanks to a can of beer, Hazel gets to go home. How about that? Love it.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Here we go. Come on, Bobby. Who do you think initiates divorce more? Men or women? Women? Why?

I don't know. Because they can't put it with a guy anymore. Is that not right? Because both ways. I don't know. Women's right. Oh, okay. I was just guessing.

Women initiate almost 70% of divorces. Really? Which I thought was extremely high. Yeah. Thought it'd be like 55, 45, 45, one way or the other. Really close. Why women initiate most of the divorces? Are they the smart ones that are finally like, this is just not going to work?

Or as Amy said, they just can't put it over their crap anymore. That's it. Maybe. Let's go over to Amy and get the morning corny now. The morning corny. How does... Thread get to school. How does thread get to school?

On a spool bus. That's pretty funny. There it is. Thank you very much. That was the morning corny. Amy was trying to solo clap herself. We don't really clap anymore. We really don't.

I know, but I kind of felt that one. You did? That was pretty funny one.

Great.

How are you? Good. Good to see you. I know. It feels like it's been a while. It does, except for we live in this world now where I follow you on Instagram, so I watch your stories. And although we haven't seen each other, I guess, in person,

I do feel like I know everything that's going on with you. So when you walk in, I'm like, oh, it's almost like there's no need to get up and make a big deal about seeing each other. we're always seeing each other. Right. I am jealously met Stanley from the office. Well, he sent me a video.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Yeah, Jake had him send me a video. It costs $300 to have him send me that video. Those are legit, though. Ryan got one for his birthday from one of the guys from the righteous gemstones. Oh, yeah. Who sent him that?

His friend Andrew bought it for him, but it was really, really funny. But, yeah, I would freak out if someone from the office sent me one. Yeah, and I did... Birthday. idea for anyone. I went back this year. I didn't dance this year, but Meredith from Dancing with the Stars, or Meredith from the Office while I'm Dancing with the Stars. Yes.

And I get to hang out with her three times. Maybe that's who I was thinking that you met. Okay, yeah. The greatest. And she's like, yeah, she's like, I'm coming to Nashville. We're going to have dinner. So, and I try not to geek out. Yeah. It's hard not to geek out when you're a super fan because you want to ask all the questions. But it did. I played it pretty cool. But she was so open about being on the office. She was like, I talk about whatever you want, which I thought was also pretty great. Yeah, they seem so proud to have been a part of such an American

classic. So, yeah, I love talking about it all the time. I guess I haven't seen you since you announced that you were going to have a baby. Yeah. Right? Like, I haven't done anything really since, like, the CMAs. So, yeah, this is like the first time I've really talked to people since

just kind of got through the holidays and just keep getting bigger. Is it harder to sing as, as baby grows? I haven't had a show, so I don't know. I have the Houston rodeo coming up, which will be very close to my due date, so I'll have to let you know then if it's harder to sing. But I mean, we were recently on our, like, baby moon in the mountains, and I tried to do this hike, and it was just pitiful. Like, it sounded just ridiculous me, like, wheezing behind Ryan, and I only made it,

like half a mile. I just can't like do the same things. But I'm like listening to myself and, you know, it's like as long as you're getting out there and trying. But as far as singing goes, I've heard it, yeah, like by the end, you know, they're like kicking you in the ribs. So I can't imagine it's easy to sing. The Friday morning conversation with Marin Morris.

I've put together a list of baby names based on pop culture and current events. I'd like to pitch to you before you maybe assign all the names to your baby. Okay. Okay. Because you know every year they put at the baby list and it's always some things from pop culture. Yeah. That end up making the big names. So just bear with me.

Tell me if you would go for these. How about we named the baby Corona? Not the virus, not the beer. Well, then what is it? Is it like spelled like the beer? Yeah, but we'll call them a little corona. How do you feel about that? Um, a pass.

Okay. How about Thanos? Uh, uh, so masculine. Is it like, is that from, Avengers? It is. Okay, I'm Okay. The misunderstood bad guy. Got it. Did you watch Avengers? No. Do you watch Cheer?

On Netflix? No, but I've heard it's good. It's the greatest. So good. Is Thanos in that too? No, he should be though. Are you about to throw out one of those names? Yeah, I was going to be Lederius. Lederius or Jerry. Yeah. Okay, let me, here's one. At first it's going to hit you funny. But if you think about it, Baby Yoda.

Baby Yoda. Horde. Baby Yoda. Olaf. Olaf. Olaf, Joker, or, last one, I saved the best for last, TikTok. These are all great. Rapper names. He ever goes into that location.

Do you have a name that you're just not revealing yet? I mean, someone suggested we should name him y'a, so y'herd. Yeah, heard, got it. Or I like purred. Heard, heard. So no, you're not sharing the name yet. No, I mean, we're going to keep that to ourselves until. he gets here. I feel like I've revealed

a good amount. And I'd also like to meet him before assigning the name officially just because might change. Like, what does he look like? It might not be what we think. It might be a TikTok. He might be a Thanos. Yeah, you have any like, you know what, Bobby's on to something?

This is Baby Yoda, for sure. He might be a Stanley. Most babies look like Baby Yoda. Let's be honest, right when they come out. Yeah, for sure. I mean, he's adorable, so I'd love to have one. Marin Morris is here. the bones gonna be number one this week

like this song again doesn't sound like a lot of other things on the radio which I think is why it's so strong and cuts through so strongly before you put the song out was there ever a conversation

of like I don't know this may be a little too risky um not with this one just because it was such a favorite at shows so that is always like my litmus test if like a song is doing okay for me

is like if fans really react to it in a live setting. And people just freaked out when we would go into that. Bono, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum. And so that kind of forced our hand when it came to picking that single. And I'm so glad we did. I feel like thank you for saying it doesn't sound like the rest of the radio. I think that it's kind of the first love song I've put out.

Because, you know, with my church in 80s and I could use a love song and even girl, None of those really touch on a relationship. It's all like very worldly songs that are just about life. So the Bones is kind of the first song that I've ever put out as a single that addresses love in the most, like, realistic terms. Because a lot of love songs, to me, can just feel so earnest and, like, I just can't relate to them.

And with the Bones, it felt like we were writing something about a real relationship that goes through these trials. trials and isn't perfect every day and it isn't like preaching to anyone. It's just saying like you and me are going to like be in the trenches together no matter what. That's interesting. Do you talk about it like that? It's like a pragmatic love song. It's like extremely practical and we build the base. Then whatever the crap happens, we got the base. Exactly. We've got the base. The Friday morning conversation with Merrin Morris. Whenever you play the Houston Rodeo, because

to be March 7th. Will you have a doctor with you? Because you're right on, like you said it. You're right on the edge. Yeah. Will you have a doctor with you? I'm going to have my, I'll have an appointment with my doctor a couple days before.

So I'll get like the clearance. But I'm thinking I want to bring like my doula with me just for like moral support. Help me out. I never had a baby. Yeah. Tell me what a dole. It's basically like there, they're usually women and they're birthing coaches

and they're sometimes nurse certified, sometimes they're just there for like emotional support. But basically they're kind of like your manager in the room with the doctors because they've seen so many kids get born. And they just kind of help you and your husband, especially with like first-time parents. I mean, Ryan is going to be just as clueless as me.

They can advocate for you. Yeah. And just talk to the doctors, talk to, like our families and they basically just keep the room chill. And I think like I'll be so distracted with the other thing that this, it'll be nice to have someone advocating for us, especially with like it being our first kid. Will you fly to Houston that pregnant or will you take a bus just in case? Because it'd be so cool if you had the baby on the plane.

How cool would it be if you're playing Mary Morris had a baby? Yeah. Yeah. That'd be pretty cool. Just went into labor on stage. I'm going to probably fly just per my doctor's orders. because it's a much shorter trip. It's like an 11-hour bus ride.

So, you know, if things go toe up, we'll at least be back in Nashville. Did you say toe up? From the flow up. Like tore up or from? Hopefully not. Yeah. It's also like I play at 6 p.m.

So I'm going to be back in Nashville. I'm hoping by like 9.30. So if we time it right, I don't know. This could all be real wish. full thinking. Like if you have the baby before, then what happens? I don't know. Um, you know, I, I feel like I'm just taking it day by day and I still have like a ways to go. So I'm just listening to like my doctors and my body and myself and just I think that, uh, I think I can do it. I believe in

myself. Merrin Morris is here. I was thinking about you. Um, are you still able to do music things Are you still writing? Are you still, or are you out of that world right now? Are you just kind of focusing on the human personal side of you? I have a couple rights coming up just with friends, people that I wrote with from my last record. And just to kind of like get something going, I think that being creative in this way

is something I have not tapped into for quite some time, just having been promoting a record for the last year and a half. So yeah, I'm going to be writing a little bit But I also don't want to put any sort of deadline Like, oh, we're on album three now. I don't even want to go into those rights Kind of telling my co-writers Okay, this is for MM3.

I want to go in and just like write a song And like clear the cobwebs out. So yeah, for me it's like I just I mean my record is not even a year old And winning album at the CMM maze, I felt like that just afforded me some time to be like, okay, chill, you're about to have a baby and have this whole other life challenge to deal with. You don't even know what headspace you're going to be in in a year. So trying to like put time stamps of songs around that is tough

because, I mean, I don't even know what kind of songs I could be writing in a year. I mean, just with this whole new change happening. So yeah, I'm just writing here and there. Here's the tough question. What are you listening to now? Everybody wants to know that we look to as wonderful creators. Like what do you listen to in your own space, your own time? Yeah. That right now you're like, man, like I'm really feeling that right now. It's a tough question. Yeah. Especially when your job is music. I think that lately I've been really into these like pop female artists. Like I love. the new Halsey record I think is really, really good. I'm obsessed with Rosalia, who is this kind of Spanish flamenco pop artist from Spain,

and she's beautiful, and her art, like her music videos, her songs are just so otherworldly. And it's nice to kind of get out of your own lane for a second and just listen to something, not even your own language, because it just gets like the gears shifting in a different creative way. That's why I hang out with Eddie. Yeah. Same thing. Yeah. Yeah.

You're watching anything good? Anything on Netflix? It's always, every time you come in, we kind of bond over some show. What do you, what have you been watching? Netflix, Amazon, anything anywhere? Well, I love anything true crime. Did you watch the Aaron Hernandez documentary? I was just about to say, yeah, Ryan and I blew through that.

And, you know, I must have just completely forgotten about that news story because I did not remember that at all. even though it was just a couple years ago. Yeah, I mean, it's just so insane and sad. And constantly it kind of outdoes itself with more shocking things. Like, wow, I can't believe this happened. Oh, and then that happened too? Yeah. Two, you go, wow, I can't believe I have forgotten about all of that.

Like, the world is hitting us so many ways. You forget a story that was that crazy about something that was in our and pop culture. That was so big. Sports is a big part of pop culture. Right. I know. And, I mean, it's the biggest football team. in the country that it happened to.

So, yeah, that was a really great documentary. There's this show on HBO The Outsider with Jason Bateman, and it's really scary. It's like a Stephen King written. It's based off of a Stephen King book. But that's been really creepy. Do you like scary stuff? I do.

Ryan, like, could take it or leave it, but I love being scared, which is probably why I'm, like, so terrified when I have to be home alone, and he goes out of town. But I just, I love, like, anything true crime. Well, congratulations. Thank you.

And everything. It's really great to see you. Congrats on the song. You know, obviously in this room, we all love what you do. Thank you. Well, it's fun. This is, like, your namesake song that could potentially go number one. It's all because of you, Bobby.

Thank you. I didn't want to say it, but I'm glad that you did. All right, Mirren Morris is here, and we will see you soon, all right? All right. Thank you, guys.
