What's happening, friends? Welcome to Wednesday's show. Morning studio. Morning! A little later, Mariah Carey will be on the show, which is crazy. We've never had Mariah Carey on this show before. So we'll talk about all I want for Christmas is you with Mariah Carey. But I do want to talk about for a second. You know, a lot of people

think that I've made a whole bunch of money off Sonic from me being on Instagram, me talking about it on the show, Sonic being at our wedding. And sometimes clients will come in and go, hey, how do we get you to do what you do for Sonic? I'll tell you this, I never made a dime off of Sonic. They haven't paid me to do any sort of Instagram posts. They haven't paid me to, they didn't pay us to be at our wedding. They came and did that for free because we just love Sonic. And when Caitlin and I got married, when you left to leave the wedding before like our grand goodbye, there was a small Sonic. that was built there, and it was amazing. That was so cool. So, but people will go, hey, what's up with Sonic? Like, how long you've been doing business? Zero days, have I done any business with Sonic? And forever, I've been like, Sonic, what's up? Let's do some business together.

Like, I'm your biggest fan. Well, I have a big announcement. Working on this for a while. To me, it's a very personal thing, because we are now partnering with Sonic. They will be our official studio sponsor next year. I'm super talking about that. And to celebrate, we are bringing in the giant 444-ounce Sonic Cup. Oh, my gosh.

There we go. There it is. Holy crap, that's huge. Lay it right there. And inside of this is cherry. If you spill that on this, we are, we're going to go off the air. Yeah. So, this is filled with cherry lime made.

This is a humongous sonic cup. Oh, my goodness. That's huge. That's so much bigger than I thought. Can you drink out of the top of that? Scoobers or is a fountain? There's like a little spiket. Right in front of you bones.

Spicket. Do you put your mouth under it or whatever would do it? Do we have, and we have cups. We got some right here. Okay, so to me, this is a very personal thing because obviously I love Sonic. Sonic, they were started where Caitlin's from, and she loves Sonic more than anybody I know. And so the fact that we're able to team up with them and they're going to be our studio sponsor next year, we are super pumped. Oh, my kids are going to be super pumped.

So, 44 ounces. Could you drink this in a day for 500 bucks? For 500? Think about that. Yes. Because, I mean, you just think. 24. That's 10 root 40. Oh my goodness. I mean, that's only one every couple

hours, dude. Yeah, you can probably do that. I ever track that off. I can do that. All right, this is a big day for us. In honor of the big day, we wanted to do something for you guys listening. You can use the promo code Bobby 444 for a free Route 44 drink with a purchase in the app. So download the app. I use the app. I use the app and

But we're super pumped. Sonic is now going to be the studio sponsor, and it is the most natural sponsorship we've ever had here on the show. And you know we really use what we talk about on the show anyway. So this has been true for the last couple of years. Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air.

Something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I'm a pandemic listener, and I have a personal question for you guys. What does that mean a pandemic listener? She started listening during the pandemic, maybe? That's it. Okay, got it. I have this church buddy that I met when I started dating my wife eight years ago. I consider him my younger brother.

He got married in June to this amazing girl. May of 2021, she was killed in a car accident. Two months ago, I noticed this new girl coming around to church. turned out to be the niece of the youth minister. Come to find out he's been talking to this girl and they're dating. She's very sweet and has helped him get through a lot of pain. Had lunch with him this week and he's talking marriage. What do I do?

His wife was a big part of our church group and one of my wife's best friends. I want to be supportive, but I feel like he's rushing things. His response to my comment was, you never know how much time you have. Please help. Thanks, signed late for dinner. It's a heavy one. Go for you.

You're ready to go? Go ahead. I mean, it's a heavy one, but I would, I, my first question would be, why is this your problem? I agree. Because it's not. And that's something that's so hard to do, but I've been in a lot of therapy lately. And it's like, what's your lane? This is, what's your side of the street?

What is it? Is this inside your hula hoop? I have every analogy that I could give you. And it's like, this is not your problem. I think you offer yourself in case there is a problem. Sure. You can say I'm here for you no matter what. I want to support you.

But also if you do have an opinion and advice, you can ask him like, hey, I have some thoughts on this. Would you like to hear it? Because he may not want to hear it. And you need to give him that choice of whether or not he wants your input. I'm going to agree with you. Thank you. And just let you own this one because it's, and I would be there to support him through whatever

decision he makes more than to try to nudge him to the direction that you think is best. because it ain't it ain't your business and it stinks because you were so close to other people and it is it is in your life but it's not in yours near as much as it is his right sometimes we can get too immersed in someone else's life and think that you know we can are what we're thinking is the best plan for them but really we have no idea unless you're wearing as britches you don't know right so it stinks but yeah you got a butt out a little bit it's a loving butt out obviously you care And you can't get offended if that, if he sets that boundary of like, hey, you know, thanks for the advice. I'm sure it doesn't mean he doesn't value your opinion whatsoever.

It just means that he's doing whatever is truly best for him. And if he messes up, then that's on him to mess up and learn from or to grow from. Yep. So, yeah, getting your own hula hoop is what we'd say, right, Amy? That's right. There you go. All right. Thank you for that email.

We appreciate when you guys share the. We will give you unbiased opinion because we don't know you. Nope. That's the best part about it. Morgan, if they want to email us, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. We've got your email and we read it on your air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag.

Yeah. Go. On the Bobby Bones show now. Mariah Carey. Mariah, how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm doing really good.

It's an honor to talk to you. Love the new Christmas song. I mean, you are the queen of Christmas. I appreciate that, but I don't claim it. I don't claim it. You know, Christmas is Christmas. I just happen to enjoy. it like making Christmas music and other music.

But yeah, we had great time working on this new Christmas record. It's been so fun. So let's talk about Fall in Love at Christmas. It's you, it's Khalid and Kirk Franklin. How did you get that group together? It's different than all I went for Christmas is you, obviously. And I can never really compete with that because that song just took on a life of its own. I wrote it a really long time ago, and I'm just going to be like, wow, you know, it became a thing.

But we started. And so, you know, we just had some different ideas. I've loved Khalid since American team, his first album, and I loved location. And, you know, we met when he first started. And I was like, I really love your music, et cetera. And just the organic nature of like a green sleeves inspired love song to this major moment that takes you to church. Whenever you first cut all I want for Christmas is you, did you know that song was that special that was going to be just, you know, lasting for, you know, 20 years at this point?

No, because here's the thing. I had never done, this was like in the beginning of my career. And I had only done, like, I think two albums, really, at that point. And maybe like the MTV Unplugged EP. But the label was like, why don't you do a Christmas album? I don't know if they were just like, we don't know how long this thing's going to last, do a Christmas album. And I felt like it was too soon because growing up it was always like people did that

later on, you know what I mean? And then I said, I love Christmas a lot, so I might as well try. So I just wrote all I want for Christmas is you and then finished up, you know, the writing of it with my then collaborator, Walter A, and recorded it and wanted it to feel like a timeless classic, wanted it not to feel like, oh, this is from the 90s or this is from the whatever era, you know what I mean? And so over the years, it just kind of took on a life of its own. And now it really is festive. I saw a video yesterday of like a bunch of kids in a club, like jumping up and down, dancing, screaming all I want for Christmas is you. Like, you see them dancing to it. And then all of a sudden they mute the me, the DJ meets the music and they're like screaming

all I love for Christmas to do. And it is, I get goosebumps thinking of it because I never knew. I was just like, this is what I like. You know what I mean? This is what I want to do for Christmas. I always wanted to have that perfect Christmas. And I wrote about it in my, in my memoir, the meaning of Mariah Carey last year. Like I had kind of tough upbringing, so we never had a lot of things that most kids have. And I really wanted that perfect Christmas. It was like in my mind. I just always wanted it and it always got ruined.

So now, you know, I kind of feel great that people get to, my song is a part of other people's Christmases and it helps me have a festive moment with my family and friends as well. You bring up your book. Your book has now gone to paperback. people can can get the book. What was the hardest part for you personally about sharing your story? Well, I worked on the book for like three, I would say basically almost three years. But previously I had wanted to tell the story. Like it's mostly about my childhood. And when I went, I wrote, I wrote the book with my friend and collaborator, Michaela.

And she and I, you know, really talked about. She said, what do you really want to achieve? because I am a writer. I've always been a writer as a songwriter. But it's a different thing when you go to a book. She hadn't written a book yet either. So we were both just figuring it out. And I just said, I want to emancipate my little girl self that nobody knew, that nobody understood,

that was different, that was other, that didn't really have a category that people understood. So that was our goal. And now it's out on paperback. But the first, like the most exciting moment was when it became an instant number one, New York Times bestselling. book. So I'm now working on figuring out the adaptation for that and whether it's going to be a

scripted series or a series of movies and I'm talking to, I can't tell the whole thing now, but that's my next project and I can't wait. We have Mariah Carey on with us and it's Macy's Wishless Wednesday. So as we talk about the holidays, in your holiday plans, I'm just assuming that you have this pressure to be like the greatest holiday person of all time because you are Mariah Carrie? I don't know. I think I put the pressure on myself, honestly. Like, we have a set plan. When I say we, I really mean me, because I start figuring this out like months before, but then if one thing goes wrong, I get, I don't know. It's not if one thing goes wrong. I just want it to be this, like, idyllic sort of thing that is almost impossible to achieve, but we get pretty close. And, you know,

And we do stuff that most people, maybe they hear about in the song, but we do go on a two-horse open sleigh ride through the snow woods. And, you know, I have this new, this Christmas inspired. It's for all year round, but, you know, it was inspired by the holidays. And it's called Black Irish, and it's a liquor that's coming out this year. But it's like, it's an Irish cream. And we have like three different flavors. And so, you know, I was working on it last year. And it was so much fun to.

to be by the fire and I have this my favorite flavor. I'm not allowed to pick one, but I'll pick one anyway. You won't tell anybody. Salted caramel is the best one. It's out in stores now, but we're going to, you know, during Christmas, we'll be enjoying that. And no, I just like, we have the best time. And it's like, you can't choose your family, but you can choose your friends and create

the most beautiful moments that you can. And that's what I try to do. But it is pressure. But again, I think I put that pressure on myself and now hate to say it, but my kids kind of put that pressure on me as well. With it being Macy's wishless Wednesday, there are so many options that Macy's, they have you covered from outfits to kitchen supplies to decor. Do you have an air friar? I'm recommending people to get an air friar.

Do you use an air friar? I wish I could say I do. No, I don't. I mean, I have asked people to use an air friar, but I don't. I cook on Christmas, especially every year I cook. But it's not the type of food that you can really make in an air fryer. So no. But long live the air fryer.

Yay air friars. The air fryer matching pajamas. There are all these options. And check out Macy's.com slash wish list for all your gifting needs. Once you make a wish, go to Macy's. com slash believe to write a letter to Santa because for every letter submitted to Santa online, Macy's donates a dollar to the Make a Wish Foundation, which helps to grant wishes to kids who are fighting critical illnesses.

Mariah, we appreciate your time. I'd have to say, I love the Make a Wish Foundation. And I'm just throwing this in there because you're talking about it. It's a really great organization. And they actually gave me an award a couple years back for just my work with the, with the organization. And I'm not giving anything away, but I think we're doing something special with them this year as well. Mariah, thank you for your time.

We're big fans. And congratulations on everything from the paperback to, you know, the... All in love at Christmas. Out this year, Khalid and Kirk, Franklin. Hope you guys like it. Thanks for having me. All right, Mariah. Bye-bye.

Will the healing start chasing I-95 and racing the dark? Ryan Hurd just landed his first number one hit as an artist with Chasing After You, his duet with his wife, Marin Morris. He talks about the success of the song. It's been a really, like, special ride that we've been on, and I know it doesn't last forever, and it changes over time. And I'm getting to have this moment right now. I'm very thankful for it. And I know she's a huge part of it, too. I'm Morgan number two.

That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. So this woman, Pamela, loved German Shepherds. And she loved him so much. Her daughter took her to a canine demonstration with German Shepherds for the police force in town near Daytona Beach. Well, Pamela was 90 years old.

She passed away about a year ago. But she left $32,000 to that Daytona Beach Sheriff's Office. so the dogs could all get bulletproof vests. Oh, that's amazing. I didn't even know they made bulletproof vests specifically for dogs. Oh, yeah, they do, and they don't, but departments don't necessarily always have the funds for that. I would think that would be like third dairy. Yeah, it's like last on the list.

So, so cool that she thought of them in her final wishes. Her daughter took her to watch German Shepherds, and that's where she fell in love with these canines. And so she sent them. I'm looking at them here. They're only like 90 bucks. Yeah, but still, your type for cash, it's like, well. No, I'm saying they're only $90. I thought they would be like $1,000 each.

Oh. Like, people could actually help if they wanted to get bulletproof vests, or put one on their dog. I put Stanley in one. Just in case he gets a lot. Not necessary. But she left $32,000 for bulletproof vest and training. I thought that was a pretty cool story. So shout out to you, Pamela Mobbs.

You were with your wife for how long? I was almost seven years. I mean, it was six years. Dang, you were Ray. We give Ray a lot of crap because he didn't get engaged until six, seven years. years, but that was you. But Eddie would have gone longer. She gave an ultimatum.

That's correct. But didn't Ray and Bay have an ultimatum too? Pretty much. Maybe we're living parallel lives. And she told you what? She just said, hey, we've been dating for six years now. Basically, if we don't get married soon, I'm going to go leave and start my life. And in your mind, Eddie, you went what?

I was like, what? I didn't even think about this. Like marriage. Okay. No, no, I don't want to lose you. So let's get married. How long did you have to think about it, though? Quickly.

I mean, it was like within a couple of weeks. So I was just like, what am I doing? A couple weeks. But in all the six years, the marriage never crossed your mind? Not once. I was like, this is great. This is fun. We live in Austin.

We're dating and having a good time. Because why buy the cow? I mean, not exactly. I just didn't really think that we needed to get married. Most people list money, career, and uncertainty is the main reasons. They don't get married right away. Let's go around the room here.

How long were you dating your person before you got married? Kail and I were probably eight months, around eight months or so. That's quick. But we were pandemic. Before you got married or engaged? Married. No, maybe? You were together longer than eight months.

Yeah, maybe so. Yeah. All the dates, you guys are right, all the dates of like engaged, married, anniversary of meetings. It's all gone. In like April, May, and then you got engaged in November, then you got married the following summer. Oh, well, heck, we're over a year then. We're normal. Yeah.

I always thought we were quick. So before we got, okay, before we got married, it was about a year in two months, which is okay. We were also, again, we were together because of COVID for like four of those months, not leaving the house. So I feel like that moved our relationship right along. Totally. Totally. Expedited it for sure. Amy, you and your husband?

Six months. Before you got married? From dating to marriage, yeah. How long until you got engaged? Four months? And then we planned the wedding in eight weeks. So that was the two months. Everyone thought Amy was pregnant.

Yeah. It happens so fast. I mean, it sounds like. Fun fact. We hadn't even done it. Hey, fun fact. Fun fact. Fun fact, Wednesday.

I know. It was very, everyone, all his friends thought I was pregnant too. They were like, who is this girl? His Air Force buddies were flying in. They're like, Ben's getting married? We think she's pregnant. But like, like, everybody thought it. We were like, no, we're not.

Really, we did not plan on getting married that quickly. But because of his deployment schedule, it just made sense. I was planning for the wedding to be the following year, and then a bunch of different things happened, and he had to go to Afghanistan, and we were like, well, let's just get married before you go. So that's what happened.

I remember pulling Amy aside and going, hey, listen, not my business, but it kind of is. You're pregnant? Yeah. But I got engaged, like, again, eight to nine months. Not married, but engaged. After we started dating, and my friend Courtney texted me, I was like, yo, she pregnant?

Like, straight up, text. And now remember, because he has like an android, and it was green. and he was like, yo, she's pregnant and green. And I was like, no, she's not pregnant. And then you're like, who has an android? Lunchbox, you and your wife? Before we got married, about three and a half years, I guess,

before we got married, I guess three years before we got engaged. And fun facts, she spent the night in my hotel room the night I met her. Fun fact. Fun fact, Wednesday. Hey. So most people are about three years. So lunchbox is kind of the norm. I'm the next closest, but then Amy and Eddie are on the polar side.

Yeah, the mind's crazy. Don't do that. Any more fun facts from you guys? No, that's about it. No, that's about it. All right. Here's a voicemail we got last night. Hi, I just wanted to call in and say, I made my son get a tardy today because we were listening to Easy Trivia.

I thought that would be funny to share. I'm not a big fan of being late, but that I will allow. So thank you for sharing that with us. Amy, you mentioned a few days ago your daughter got in trouble for being tardy. How's that going? Yeah, she had nine tardies and that equal to ten. So I think after spending maybe an hour or two having to sit there and talk to nobody, she will never be late again.

Let's play a voicemail also from last night. Here's another one. Hey, but I just wanted to let you know. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face. My grandpa passed away last Friday, and you all got me through today to get me ready to go teach and it really helped put a smile on my face. So thank you for being you. Keep on being awesome.

Thank you very much. Sorry to hear about your grandparent there. The Bible phone show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So Instagram is rolling out something for select users right now. And it looks like it might come to the general public soon, but it's called Take a Break. And it lets you often to receive prompts from Instagram to tell you to take a break. I already have that.

Oh, you do? Yeah, it's called Caitlin. Oh. My wife. Yum. Hey, she said, take a break. Get off Instagram. Yes, so I don't need that from them.

I'm good. I'm all. I'm good. Yeah. So this is all an effort to, you know, combat some of the negative. news they've had lately and obviously the harmful effects on your mental health if you're on social media for way too long. Also, you know, YouTube took off the thumbs down button. So, right, because they're trying to do the same thing. Limit the negativity. Limit the trolling. The weird thing is

they removed the thumbs down button, but you can still push the thumbs down button and only the user can see it. So it's still there, but people can't see how many thumbs down it gets. Oh, so you're not publicly shamed. You just feel the thumbs down yourself. Yes. They're just bullying you to only you now. Listen, and people have made that joke, but it is a small step in the right direction because I think a lot of people probably won't hit that thumbs down if they know people won't see it. Yeah. Do you understand what I'm saying? Totally. So it will limit it a bit. But good. Good that social media, although they're not hopping, you know, butt first into the ocean, they are stepping a toe into the pool of trying to make the internet a better place to live.

All right, what else? So Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, they're going to be in the Yellowstone prequel 1883, and they've been talking about it. And Faith said that wearing a corset during all the filming, it looks amazing, but it's totally terrible. And she thinks she might have a few floating ribs around in her body because it's squeezing her so tight. And then Tim said, seeing Faith riding horseback, firing guns and having dirt all over her face,

he just sits there and all watching her work. I have a couple things to say. First, I think guys are kind of jobed and not being able to wear corsets. You know, you guys have spanks. You have corsets. All this stuff makes you look good. We're over here all fat and round.

No, I just said that Faith has some maybe possible broken ribs from her corset. Hey, but I bet she looks good. Back in the 1800s, ever tying that stuff up, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, we don't even really have spanks. And if a guy wears spanks, we're all judged. That's the first thing I'd like to say. The second thing I'd like to say is I misspoke last week

and said, I didn't know Faith Till was an actress. Well, I didn't, so I wasn't wrong. But apparently she was in, what was the show about the wives, where they were all perfect? Oh. The Stefford Wives. Yeah, she was in that movie, the Stefford Wives. And about 10,000 listeners let me know how wrong I was.

I never saw that movie. And I guess I don't really consider her an actress. So I was pumped to see that she had a major role in the show. But I will say, I was wrong. I did not know Faith Hill was an actress. Did you guys? Yeah, no, I think we would have spoken up, so we're right there with you. Yeah, okay.

All right, what else got? 1883 is premiering on Paramount Plus December 19th, in case you're wondering the exact date. And then, Bobby, have you ever said or found yourself saying recently something like, oh, it's 830 at night? It's probably too late to start a movie. Oh, yeah. Too late to start a movie. Too late to eat dinner. Too late.

Yes. Constantly, it's too late or too early. What about referring to people in their early 20s as kids? Yeah, what's your point with all this, by the way? My point is... If you fell old on purpose? Yeah, if we're saying these things, then yes, we have officially crossed over to the old side. Okay, give me some more.

Why is the music so loud in here? Oh, yeah. Yes. You're at Home Depot and say something like, oh, yeah, that's quality lumber. No, I don't go to Home Depot, so I'm going to check out of that one. That sounds like an Eddie thing, though. I've probably said that a couple times. What about, oh, babe?

check out these new balances. I just bought, hey, let me, that's unfair. I just bought a pair of new balance, but new balance are now extremely trendy. So even from that article, they're not accurate. Yeah, I agree. I think that maybe these old people that wrote this haven't called on the fact that new balances are now back in. And what about, ooh, that's a nice box. I think I'll keep it down.

No. Oh, I do that all the time. And then lastly, no thanks. I can't have caffeine this late in the day. I'll never fall asleep. Yes, I'd definitely do that one too. All right, I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. This seven-year-old little girl, Isadora. She was at the lake with her family, and she was like, hey, what is that? I see something shiny in the water. So they go over to get it, and turns out it was a class ring from 1982.

to McCluskey High School, and it belonged to this guy Kerry apparently played basketball. That was evident through the ring. Anyway, Isidore's mom, put it up on Facebook, had pictures, made the rounds, and they were able to find the owners of this ring. Unfortunately, Carrie had passed away. That's who it belonged to. But his wife still alive. So how cool for her, Cheryl, shout out, to get her late husband's ring that he lost at a lake

trip, you know, all those years ago. Like basically when he was leaving. high school. So she thought that this was a sign that her husband is still looking down on her. You're still looking for your ring. Yeah, my 2003 Texas A&M Aggie ring. And what's the reward? Just giving them. Well, I don't know that I put a number out there. How you said 10 G's? Did I? I thought I said 50 G's. Oh, it was a 50? Well, the ring isn't even worth that. 500 bucks if someone gets you the ring? That's probably what's worth, but. Sure. And the memory of having it. It was my, I chugged it. It was my, I dunked it. They call it. That's what you

at A&M, you dunk your ring. So yes, $500. If somebody finds my little gold, Aggie ring has a tiny diamond in the front. My name is on the inside. Amy E. Moffitt 2003. Boom. And so lunchbox pulls it out his pocket now. It was waiting for the moment. It was lost, likely disappeared in Southern Pines, North Carolina when my husband was stationed at Fort Prague. Where do you think it is? Don't know. At the yard? could be somewhere in that first house we had. That house was robbed. They could have stolen it.

But I mean, I just don't know. But they stole my husband's Air Force ring when they robbed it. And my husband just ended up ordering a new one. But I haven't done that because I want to be a tell me something good story where someone finds my ring 30 years. $500 reward for Amy. You know what? I'll have five bucks to it. Oh, wow.

$505. Yeah, 505. Okay. Okay. It's a great story about that ring being. and give him back to his wife. Yeah, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

What did the turkey say to the turkey hunter on Thanksgiving Day? What did the turkey say to the turkey hunter on Thanksgiving day? Clack. Clack. Okay, that's pretty funny. That was the morning morning. Lunchbox went to the grocery store to talk to the meat people about the turkey shortage that we keep hearing about in the news. Will there be enough for Thanksgiving? Do we need to buy now? Lunchbox wanted to go and basically do a public service announcement, right, lunchbox?

That's right. I want to find out for the people. Do you need to shop now or can you wait? Okay, let's see what the meat people had to say. Can we say the store that you're at lunchbox? Yeah, you can say the store. That's fine. Okay, here is Lunchbox at Kroger. How's going on, man? I got a question for you. Mr. Meat. I've been hearing that there's going to be shortages on turkeys. Right now, we have plenty of turkeys. We've got plenty of butterballed turkeys in Baxter. So our store is good. We didn't think we were going to get as much turkeys as we have now.

Okay, so maybe the news is overhyping this. Yeah, well, they probably didn't think, it's probably certain companies too. Okay, bam. Okay. So everybody calm down. We don't need to buy turkeys right now. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Meat. What are you calling him Mr. Meat? Mr. Meat. He's the head of the meat department, so he's Mr. Meat. I don't have it know his name. So plenty of turkeys, even some butterballs.

Yeah, butterballs are plenty. No need to rush out and get turkeys according to that guy. All right, Kroger has plenty of turkeys. Here is lunchbox at Publix. Do I need to be worried about the turkey shortage? Do I need to buy it now? You got plenty of... Yes, I would go ahead and buy it now.

Now, so let's say, since there is going to be a turkey shortage, if I buy all the turkeys and you get and do you have a shortage, what's the odds you'll buy them back from me for double? Yeah, we wouldn't do that. Oh, so I shouldn't, like, stock up on, like, 50 them and then try to come back and sell them. No. I wouldn't make any money. Got it.

Master of the meat, thank you. And he's master of the meat. Yeah, master the meat. He looked more qualified than the other guy. He was just Mr. Meat. This guy looked like he was a master, and he said, get the turkey now. So you went to two stores. What is your opinion?

My opinion is that if you want a fresh turkey, they said, get it now, but I don't know how a fresh turkey is going to last that long. Eddie, did you use my freezer for your turkey? Not yet. I wanted to wait until this. bit now that I heard the bit, man, I'm going to go right, like, as soon as we're done with the show today and get my turkeys. Yeah, I feel like if one store's out, the other's just days away from being, I'm causing panic right now.

I'm doing the exact opposite of what I don't want people to do. But if one store's out of turkeys, you feel like the Kroger's going to get hit up next, right? Yeah, they're right across the tree from each other. So, I mean, you're going to go to public and they're going to be like, oh, we're out. You're going to go across street, and then it's going to be like, uh-oh. Amy, what are you doing for Thanksgiving? Are you cooking a turkey? Well, I have no idea.

I can't really decide, but I'm open to whatever. I've talked to everybody coming over and they're flexible. They're fine with chicken. They're fine with vegetables. They're fine with rice. Like I told him, I don't know what's going to be served, but everybody coming doesn't care. Okay, we heard, we have the data here of lunchbox on the streets. If one means that turkeys will be fine, there'll be plenty.

And 10 means there are no turkeys left. 10 means absolute mayhem in the turkey streets. Where do you put this? Lunchbox. Eight. Oh, Eddie. The Master of the meat seemed like he was dead serious and he seemed like he had a lot of experience and he was like, man, listen, you better get it now.

And he looked to me dead in the eyes. Eddie? Bones, I don't want to cause panic, but I'm going to go 10 and I'm going to go get my turkeys today. I'm telling you. What the? Amy? No, I don't even know how to cook a turkey. And I have none of my family coming to help.

I have guests coming to my house. Amy wants there to be a shortage so she can't cook the turkey. You can just say there's a shortage. Exactly. That's why I've already asked all my guests if they really are. have to have a turkey. That's why she's been fighting it so hard. I'd put it at about a four. I don't think you need to run out right now and get a turkey, but I would keep an eye open. All right, lunchbox, thank you. A lot of callers ask me about job interviews. What can they do to get

ahead? I've been on both sides. I've done a lot of job interviews that I haven't gotten. A few I have. I interview people constantly. So we talk about it a lot, and Amy has pulled a story and it says what? Billionaire CEOs have revealed their top five interview questions. Okay, I don't know these questions. You want to ask them to me? Well, here's the deal. Billioners, they typically try to keep interviews under 20 minutes and in a relaxed, non-stressful setting.

So that's what I'm going to create here. Okay, well, I do want to keep it under 20 minutes. Dear God, please. But also, let me say this. Usually within the first three minutes, I know. I know if this is going to go great or if it's just a disaster. If you're interviewing or...

If I'm interviewing. If someone's in front of me, I can... Honestly, I can tell in the first 90 seconds. Wow. Because it's their vibe when they're... walk in the room, if they're smiling, if they're sitting up straight, if I feel like they've got a positive attitude, just through body

language. And then all the answers will fall into place, but I can always tell if it's a no-go within the first 90 seconds. That's what I should say. So then someone has to sit there and you already know in your head. Oh, the worst is when I'm doing an interview and I'm like, I know, I'm not hiring them. But I'm just going to humor this interview and ask a few more questions. Okay, let's go. Give me one. I wonder if, I mean, not that you

ever formally really interviewed any of us, or I don't know, maybe you did. But like, I wonder if we came in for an interview today if we would still get our jobs. It's a good game to play. Not. I didn't interview anyone. Right. Hold on.

At the beginning. Except for kind of scuba Steve when it was I need to go see what this guy's up to. But he has this huge beard. And I was like, I don't know about this guy. And then I met him and he disarms you in the first 30 seconds. So it's one of those, you know, real quick. I saw scuba Steve and thought, no way. This bald dude with a huge beard who looks like Jim the Anvil Knightheart.

There is no chance I'm hiring him. But I'm telling you, 30 seconds into it, I was like, he's the nicest guy. And it was absolutely. But the rest of us, we've all been together or friends for 15 years. So we never did interviews. I was like, hey, will you work here? I don't have any money. Please work here.

Right. Which leads to my curiosity of like, if we were to walk into a room and interview with you today, would we get the job? You, yes. Lunchbox and Eddie, I don't know. I'll be honest with you. I don't know. Okay. Give me some questions.

Do you have a mentor? in this specific line of work. Are you asking me that question? I am. No, I don't have a mentor. I've always done things so differently and wrong that there was nobody I could ask for advice. I have people I look up to, like David Letterman,

but I don't only have anybody in this industry that I've ever looked up to to say, hey, please help me. I wish I was better at finding one of those. I mentor people now, though, if that helps, does it? Amy? Well, I don't know. But nobody in radio ever helped me. Well, yeah, but I mean, you were so young.

There's not anybody that you were, like, especially starting a morning show in your early 20s. Like what? Nobody helped me. Because, one, I was young in such a small town that the big guys don't want anything to do with me. And then I didn't want to ask people that were just doing okay

because I wanted to be the greatest. I want to be the greatest of all time. And so, no, I had no mentor. There were people I looked up to, like Tommy Smith and Little Rock. He was doing Magic 105, and I always listened to him, and then I met him, and he was like, hey, give me some coffee, kid. And I was like, what the? So, yeah, that kind of shut that down.

Okay, well, this might fall on the same line, but life influences, like, who are those people? My high school football coach, Victor Gandalf, because he kind of instilled the first discipline into me from seventh grade on. I didn't have any discipline. I just had no sort of structure in my life. You know, I grew up, I didn't have a dad, and my mom was in and out, and, you know, she struggled with abuse, drug abuse. so I had no discipline, but my head football coach was the first person to ever show me how hard work pays off because I wasn't the best athlete, but I was a pretty good player

and I learned the difference there. And I would also see my youth director at church, his name was Robert Parker. They wanted to make sure we always got to church and had a meal to eat on Sunday. So like eight or nine of us would stay at their house and we'd sleep on the floor and watch movies, but it was such a positive influence to me

because it gave me, again, structure, which is obviously something I lacked. And then my best friend's dad named Jerry McGrew. First person ever take me on a vacation. So I would say those three were like male influences to me because I didn't have a dad. But I would say those fellers. Let's fast forward to this last year. All right. What's something that you learned? Oh, man. With COVID hitting, I think I learned that you can pretty much do anything anywhere at any time. Like any sort of restrictions, limitations that have been put on us,

I've learned that, you know, through necessity, we can actually figure. your things out and we have. So with even the biggest setback, I actually learned I could do more than I ever thought I could. That's what I would say. How am I doing? I didn't know what I did this? I mean, fantastic. Would you guys hire me? Yeah. I didn't know these questions. All right, give me another one. What advice would you give your younger self, Bobby? That once you figure it out and you're able to actually go, I don't have to worry about just paying a light bill or eating, like you're going to figure it out so well that you're going to be able to pay others back. and not only pay them back, but pay it forward.

So you're going to not only figure it out for you, but hopefully you're going to figure it out for others. So just keep pushing. You will never be the most talented. You will never be the best based on your skill set, but you will become the best based on your work ethic and your attitude. So that's what I would tell that kid. And then what are the most important lessons you've learned?

In life? Yeah. That if you put in the time, you're going to make the dime. But you've got to put in the time. not worried about the dime. You have to put in the time as something you love because the worst thing that's going to happen

is that you're investing in something you love and your life is fulfilled. That's the worst thing that's going to happen when you work hard at something you love. The best thing's going to happen is you work hard,

you get better at it, you love it, it continues to elevate you and your career or you and your family because if you're investing in your family, it's the same thing. So that's what,

whatever the question you asked me there, that's my answer. Sometimes I get off the question and I just keep going. All right, did I get the job, billionaire?

actually I am going to think about this and I'll get back to you oh okay well hold on let me write you a thank you now thank you thank you thank you for taking the time to come hey thank you very much oh I'm being I'm being taken out of the office and hey he comes okay those are good questions though why don't we post those questions on Facebook just the questions because I think people reading those that's a good deal for them to see so when they walk into an interview I think those are pretty generic great questions to have answers to They can be prepared. Also, maybe if people are in a position where they have to interview some people

and they're like, oh, what are some good questions to ask? Still my answers, by the way, if you want to. Even still the ones about my personal life. Just say that back to people. I like the time dime one. That was really good. I just came up with that on the fly. Man, that was awesome.

I was going to go in and be like, well, Coach Gandalf. And then the person is going to be like, you play football with Bobby Booms? Hey, love it. Okay, thank you, Amy. Thank you, everyone. It's time for the good news. Tell me something good. Usually when you retire, you're like, finally I can just sit on the couch the rest of my life and do nothing.

But Nimble Will Nomad said, nah, I'm going to start hiking. And now he has set a world record as the oldest person at the age of 83 to finish the Appalachian Trail. Wow. What's his name? Nimble Will Nomad. Is that a nickname? That's his nickname. His real name is M.J.

Ebernhart. But he gets the nickname Nimble Will Nomad because he's hiked all. because he's hiked all over the world. He has hiked from Florida Keys to northern Quebec. He's gone from Newfoundland, wherever that is, to Florida. He's gone from Chicago to California and just walking. Yeah, and Eddie of these, he walked farther. This dude's a real walker.

And he said, yeah, West Virginia and Tennessee, that's nothing. He shouted out Eddie. Nimble Will said that. Nimble Will nomad. Yeah, and he said, listen, at my age he was tough. I took a couple spills, but it was worth it. Oh, no, he fell? Yeah, slippery rocks on that Appalachian Trail.

83 years old. That's awesome. And what a name, Nimble Will Nomad. I like that guy. What's a nickname? He should have been called The Nimble Will Nomad. Oh, yeah, that's probably right.

It probably is. He just... Oh, Sunny, known by the trail name Nimble Will Nomad. Yeah, good for him. I'm looking at him. He looks like one of the guys from Zizi Top.

Oh, he's got a big beard? Big beard, long hair. Nice. Yeah, yeah. All right, that's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey, coming up on Friday show, show, Adele will be on the show

because on Friday, she will release a version of her song Easy on me with Chris Stapleton. I mean, Chris Stapleton's on everything. He's on Taylor Swift's new song. He's on Adele song. But Adele will be on Friday's Bobby Bone show. Amy, you watched her special? Yeah, she had a special where she sat down with Oprah

and then she did live performance for like a small audience. And it went back and forth from the songs to the interview with Oprah. And it was so good. Like if people haven't watched it, you totally should, but be prepared to possibly cry because I did. All right, let's do the news. Here we go.

Bobby's Big. Stories. That Reese's peanut butter pie has sold out. In case you missed it, they were selling a 3.4 pound peanut butter cup, which basically is a huge peanut butter cup and they're just calling it a pie because it's massive. The whole thing, almost 8,000 calories. They were selling it for 45 bucks and all 3,000 of them sold out in minutes. Does this look good to you, Amy?

Oh, yes. I mean, I'm bummed. I saw the article. I had no idea it was sold out because I was going to try to order one. Yeah, I don't like peanut. butter, but for some reason, I can dabble in the Reese's peanut butter cups. I don't know why. Is that way less peanut butter tasting than normal peanut butter? Yes, and the peanut butter is mixed with, I don't know the exact ingredients, but some sort of

powdered sugar possibly, and then the chocolate on the outside. So you're probably distracted by a lot of sugar. Which is the story of my life. I'm constantly distracted by a lot of sugar. There's a website called Rent a Hitman, which a guy had put up just kind of as a joke. Even with the headline, got a problem that needs resolving with over 18,000 U.S. based field operatives, we can find a solution that's right for you. It was a parody website. Well, this woman, Wendy Lynn, wine, found it because she was looking for a hitman to try to kill her ex-husband. So she enters all of her information in. Boom, he submits it. And the guy's like, what the crap? Somebody's really trying to hire a hitman. So he then calls the cops. The cops

then go to her and like, hey, hitman here. You tried to hire us. Acts as a hitman, and they end up arresting the woman. So why would you go to a generic website? You, She must really be out of options. Wouldn't you think so? Yeah, or she's just not the sharpest tool in the shed. Well, anybody that wants to hire a hitman, man, man. Like, you're either really dumb or you have no, I mean, you have no other option in your mind. Yeah, you're desperate.

Clearly she was desperate, but also not smart about it. True. It is like, which is why I have life lock in case I make a mistake like rentahitman.com. You know, they'll protect me. But it wasn't a real hitman site. And so now she will go to jail. She's pleaded guilty to two charges, one of solicitation ofmer. murder and the other for using a computer to commit a crime. Again, I just imagine this guy who put up

this joke website actually getting this sent through and he's like, wait, is this, is this for real? And then he has to reach back out to her. That's a crazy story. But by the way, we do not condone hiring a hitman for any reason. Our jokes about this segment is not us going, yeah, but also if you need to hire a hitman, hire like somebody down and out in your neighborhood that you know is not a cop, you know? Down and out in your neighborhood? How do you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to like know someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows someone. I'm not saying do it, but I'm saying you shouldn't do it. But if you do, you can't go blindly, you know, into the light going, I'll take a hitman.

And I'm always thinking about these people that get busted trying to hire a hitman. Like, what if you're the person that was trying to be killed? Like, you've got to be like, what the? Someone's out there. It was about to like trying to kill me. And now you know, like you're just so thankful that they were not smart about it and it didn't happen. I have a feeling this guy knows she's capable of that. Oh, okay.

Finally, if it's Christmas time and your kids are asking for a video game, Eddie, I know this is happening in your life, right? Come on, yeah, of course. Microsoft is partnering with Gucci on a limited edition Xbox. There'll be a Gucci engraved, like, console. There'll be Gucci stripes on the controllers. They're only making 100 of them. It will set you back $10,000.

This is the dumbest thing of everything. Oh, my gosh. But you know people are going to buy it. Yeah, it's available on the Gucci website today. So if you want to go buy, what's going to happen is they're going to get bought out really quick and then people are going to spend $20,000 on them in a secondary market

just to flex they have it for an Instagram picture and then three months later it's just going to be sitting there and they're going to go, why the crap did I just spend this money in this dumb video game? Because there aren't cheat codes. It's not going to let you beat Mario Kart. All right, that's what's up. Those were Bobby's Big.

No, not even close. Why do you? Well, I do, and that actually sets me up for this announcement. I will be hosting New Year's Eve live on CBS. Thank you very much. Very excited about it. Wow. Thank you. So now we have plants.

Thank you. Well, don't, I'm not forcing you to watch this if you actually have real-life plans. This is not like homework, but it's like you have to go watch Titanic because you've never seen it. Oh, no. I'm, we're going to be at home in front of the TV watching you now. CBS presents New Year's Eve Live, Nashville's Big Bash, and so I'll be hosting it. It is a five-hour show. I'll be live for five hours starting at 7 p.m.

And we'll go all the way until 12.30 p.m. We're going to do the East Coast countdown live. We're going to do the Central Time Zone countdown live and it will be live from Central Time Zone, which doesn't happen. But super pumped because a lot of our friends will be performing. Brooks and Dunn, Luke Bryan, Miranda, Zach Brown Band, Kelsey Ballerini. I can keep going on and on.

But for me, I'm just super pumped because CBS is like, hey, come host our New Year's Eve show. So you're watching on Paramount Plus. Yeah, it'll be cold. I just hope it's not like freaking cold because there's a difference. Yeah. and cold and freaking cold. Yeah.

I've been to downtown Nashville and New Year's Eve once, I think, for like Keith Urban and it's freaking cold. Yeah. Most of the time it's freaking cold. And so I've got layers and layers and I've got, I guess it's not called a trench coat. It's called like a, what's that? Like a pea coat? Yeah.

They were asking me, do I want to wear a tuxedo or a pea coat? And I went with the p coat look. Your thoughts, Amy? Oh, yeah, no. I like that vibe. that I mean either would have worked. I feel like with a tuxedo you could have worn like a long johns underneath or something to stay warm. But if he works.

But I feel like a tuxedo is not Nashville and not country music. Oh, you mean like that kind of vibe? Oh, yes, for sure. Pico is definitely the way to go for that. Okay, so New Year's Eve. I don't know what your plan is. If you have no plan or you're at home having a party and you have the show on, put on this show on CBS because I'll be hosting it.

My co-host is from Entertainment Tonight. Her name is Rachel Smith. So it's going to be a big show. It's the first time they've done it from Nashville. So I'm extremely honored. They asked me to host it. And I will try to screw up less than 10 times on a live show that's five hours long on a network. Okay.

Okay. So that's part of the fun, the game. Like we keep tallione if you mess up or not. Yeah. Well, part of the game is that it's five hours and it's live. I mean, that's wild. So I think me doing this for five hours a morning live makes them go, okay, he can handle himself live and not worry about it, you know?

This story comes to us from Pensacola, Florida. Well, we've all heard of road rage, but this is the first instance I've ever.

heard of boat rage. Guys out on his boat in the water with friends, another boat goes by and causes a wake and causes him to rock. So he takes his boat, floors it, and drills the boat. Oh, it just runs into it. Just drills the other boat because they made a wake. It's always weird to me because you also

hurt your boat. Yeah. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. It's not a healthy response. Like, if you were to do circles around that boat, make it flip and flop, I would get it. But to just drill the boat, it's like running into someone with your car. Like, you're also going to have a car where dent in it. But I guess that's what rage does to you. Yeah, 52-year-old man caused damage to both

boats. They both are going to be totaled. All right, thank you. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. It's almost that time of year where I get into fights with people saying Home Alone is not a Christmas movie. Christmas is in the movie, but you could have taken all the Christmas stuff and put July 4th, and it's still a family going on a vacation and forgetting their kid. It could have been July 4th. Now, this is not a popular opinion. It's basically me fighting everyone. And I understand that. But Mike D has a podcast called Movie Mike's movie podcast where he had the director. Yeah, Chris Columbus. I don't know what he's going to say here. But here is Chris Columbus because you ask him that question. Yes. Here we go. You reference your

movie Home Alone. Now, to the people who do argue that that's not a Christmas movie, what do you say to those people? Definitely a Christmas movie. Without a doubt, it takes place on Christmas Eve. It's a Christmas movie. No, I mean, Home Alone was designed to be a Christmas But a warm, I always hate when I see these Christmas films that are, that, where either the decorations or the set design is just cheesy and not warm. I'm not convinced. Oh, come on, it's the director. I'm not convinced.

How do we know that's really him? Proof that's that guy. And his name's Chris Columbus. Yeah, what's up with that? It's just his name. Well, I know, but is that a fake name? Yeah, it's a real name. Because I hate people with fake names.

Okay, check out Mike's movie podcast, movie podcast with, Is this name Christopher Columbus? Just Chris Columbus. Chris Columbus. That's it for today's show. Thank you guys. Hope you have an awesome Wednesday. We will see you tomorrow.
