What's happening, everybody? Let's go. We've got a weekend coming up. Morning studio. Morning. Amy, how are you? Doing good. How about you? Yeah, I'm pretty good. I'm in California right now, so it is two hours earlier. So as early as it usually is for us, I'm struggling. I'm also wearing a shirt with no sleeves because here's the thing that I realize about being California is that a lot of the houses don't have air conditioning because why do they need it? And they keep everything,
Starting point is 00:04:02 and it's like hot here. And so if you're watching me right now on camera, I have a cut. I have a off shirt on. I know I look like a goober, but this is the life I've chosen, and it is who I am. But I'm out here because Sunday is a finale of American Idol, and I'm working with the last three contestants, kind of mentoring them. So, um, not
Starting point is 00:04:20 able to see you got the touch your faces like I do every morning. Usually I walk through it and I touch everybody's face and I go, how's your morning? I miss that. Yeah. Thank you, Eddie. Appreciate that. I'm good. Yeah. You're okay with that. Eddie, how are you today? I'm good, bones. Yeah, man. I'm enjoying watching you on screen. You look like an 80s do with your
Starting point is 00:04:36 MTV Tankie. Thank you. Lunchbox, how's it going today? Man, I'm looking good, feeling good. I feel like you wear the same shirt every day. Am I wrong? I wear the same hoodie every single day. I thought so.
Starting point is 00:04:50 We got a good show for you today. Matthew Ramsey from Old Dominion. The lead singer will be on. He fell, broke a rib, punctured along. They were going to come perform today, but because of the old lung puncture he couldn't be in. Also, Jordan Davis will be on to perform a little bit. So we've got a pretty good show today.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Before we get going with today, let's do a little flashback. It is Flashback Friday. Flashback Friday. On this day in 2001, the biggest country song, I'm already there from Lone Star. Still a jam, right? Oh, yeah. Pretty good, yeah. Can you hit that note, Amy?
Starting point is 00:05:35 Try that. I'm already there. You went higher. I did go louder? You know, higher, not louder. Take a look around. I'm the sunshine in your head. No.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Eddie, can you hit it? Yeah, I need to hear the key again. Can we hear it again from Ray? Yeah. I'm already there. You ready? Yeah. I'm already there.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Yeah, that's pretty good. All right, Maribuns, you try it. No. I did, but I was kidding. I'm already there. Is that a boy, ish. Eddie, you win that one. Okay, thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:08 The biggest pop song on this day in 2001, I've blown out my voice, the first segment of the show, is Lifehouse Hanging by a moment What a jam back in the day, right? No? Yeah. You guys didn't think that was a jam
Starting point is 00:06:31 back in the day? Not a fave, bones, but I mean, it's good. You guys are so, how did you not like Lifehouse hanging by a moment? And you're gonna tell me next you don't like Nickelbacker Creed?
Starting point is 00:06:41 I like Nickelbacker Creed. I do. I just maybe heard this too much back then. I'm hanging by a moment you are here. What year is this again? 2001. Yeah. Dang, the biggest thing of pop culture, the first Shrek was released,
Starting point is 00:06:54 and here is a hook of All-Star from Smashouth. Here you go. The filmmakers for Shrek had originally used this song All-Star as a placeholder for the opening credits, and then we're going to replace it with a different song. Luckily for the band, they didn't, because it really helped them. That's how we know who they are still, that they didn't just fizzle out. But that is 2001. Amy, where were you in 2001?
Starting point is 00:07:22 I was at Texas A&M. Junior, probably? No, sophomore. Yeah, sophomore. I was a junior in college. So, Eddie, you'd have been like five years out of school? Sam Houston State. I mean, I was still technically probably a sophomore in college
Starting point is 00:07:36 because it took me six years to graduate. But yeah. It is time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Good morning, Bobby Bones. My husband and I are creating
Starting point is 00:07:51 a walk-up playlist for my daughter's softball team. Do you know what that is? Yeah, it's where they go up to bat and music plays while they're going up. That's it. These are all 10-second clips of the girl's favorite pump-up songs. We say, Now Batting, number 23,
Starting point is 00:08:06 Aubrey Ernst, and then our song plays. It made me wonder, what would each of you choose as your walk-up song? Thanks, Brooke. Amy? Now batting. Number two, Amy Brown. Biggie.
Starting point is 00:08:21 hypnotize. I'd probably get to the plate and drop it like it's hot real quick and then pop back up. I mean, if I could pop back up, it might be a little slow. All right, here we go. Next up. Now batting, number 69, producer Eddie. Hey, mine would be my Theo Fufas in Nuevo Thao Tau, which is my theme song already. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:08:50 I can see the whole stadium just getting bouncing up and down. Oh, it's only 10 seconds, so, bro. Oh, okay, well, then they sit back down quickly. Okay. So, Tao Tao Tao. Uh, do me. Oh, yeah. And now, number one from Mountain Pine, Arkansas, Bobby Bow.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Kanye Power. Yeah. This song pussed me up when I'm working out. That's why I thought about it. The whole clap. Yeah, everyone, be clapping. Hey. And then a Kanye would come out live.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Oh. In the 21st century. redo something mean. Every time you're back. It's 10 seconds. Oh, no, no, no. But then Kim Kardashian comes out behind him and they fight. They fight over their kids in front
Starting point is 00:09:33 of everyone. It's just every time I'm bad. It would be amazing. That power. I would do Kanye power. Lunchbox? Now batting. Number 99. Lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Yeah. Yeah. My shirts. Right. I said, friend. I'm done. Do a couple buttons. show off my chest for the ladies and let me tell you things be flying my way.
Starting point is 00:09:57 What do you mean? Things will be flying your way. Garments from the women. Do you think women would throw panties at you? Or bra, one of the two, trust me. Did they do that in baseball games? Hey, when I come to bat, they will. Okay. And finally, Ramundo.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Now batting, number 42, Reimundo. That's a good one. I've heard that one used before, too. That's a good one. Oh, dude. Anytime I'm at a major league baseball game, I'm like, If there was a song to play, that is the hypest one you could possibly pick. Hypnotize is good, too, though.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Yeah. I mean, can you imagine lunchbox? They're like, and he comes down to start unbuttoning his jersey. Oh, boy. All right, hey, thank you for that email, Brooke. We appreciate that. You can always email us. Morgan, what is the address where they email us?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Mailbag at bobbybones.com. All right, close it up. Now it's found to close Bobby's mailback. Yeah. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Jordan Davis. How are you, buddy? Doing good, man.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Doing good. Let me first say congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You have a girl already? Got a girl. Did you do a gender reveal, a private one?
Starting point is 00:11:13 What happened? Yeah, it was just me, my wife and Eloise. We just did it at the house. What do you mean did it? Like we did. No, I mean, like, what do you mean? Like, what was that? It was a, so apparently she found a,
Starting point is 00:11:24 place that does like a present and so you unbox the present and it either gives you like boy toys or like girl stuff did she send the results off to some and none of you knew so i think like she went because i haven't been able to go to the doctor really like through any of the like i'm able to go in for like five minutes of like an ultrasound and then they like rush me out uh and so i guess the doctor like she told them like hey we don't want to find out what it is or we're doing like a gender reveal. So they do the sonogram, ultrasound. Yeah, both those words are familiar to me, but not really know what they mean. Yeah. Yeah. And then, uh, you send it and then she sends it off to the, I guess I just put an envelope and you send it to the place that's,
Starting point is 00:12:10 boxes the present up for you. Were you so pumped since you had a girl to have a boy? You know, so Kristen didn't want to find out. My wife didn't want to find out what it was. And we've got three girls on, on, my brother's got three girls. We had a girl. We had a girl. girl. Wow. I really, and we didn't find out what Eloise was.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So we found out in the delivery room with her. My wife didn't want to find out. I kind of did, and I'll be honest with you. I kind of wish that we would have just waited. And my wife told me I was going to feel this way. But.
Starting point is 00:12:40 You wish you'd waited for the room? I wish I would have just, like, not found out like we did with my daughter. Regardless, if it was a boy or girl, just all. Because I mean, like, now it's cool. Like, it's awesome to know that we have a boy, but like,
Starting point is 00:12:51 it was really special, like, not, knowing what it was and then here comes Eloise and it's pretty awesome. I mean, so much has changed for you in the last few years. You know, I mean, you're a guy now singing about, you know, your first song, singles you up. That was the first hit, right? Yeah, first one.
Starting point is 00:13:07 If he ever singles you up. And that's your song. I mean, that's talking about a you that was years ago. Yeah. And now you're a dad of two. Yeah. Like, do you have to kind of think about yourself back then? Are you just on autopilot with that song?
Starting point is 00:13:20 No. I mean, I think that you can, I mean, fortunately that one was such a big song for us like it's just now it's just really fun to get out there and play like the one song that you know they're kind of looking forward to uh I mean it's just it's still just fun to play you want to play some of that for us yeah Jordan Davis is here by the way his EP is out by dirt it's out today uh Luke Bryan's on by dirt that song we'll talk about that in a second but here is his first hit here as singles you up I ain't heard you laugh like that in a long time I wonder if it stopped Tisn' world like he did mine just now.
Starting point is 00:14:03 I see you sipping white wine instead of whiskey. Does he want you to be just a little more city? Well, I'm sorry if I'm overstepping boundaries I don't mean to be. I've just got to tell you how I feel. He ever singles you up. He's ever stupid enough. I'm going to be the first one that's calling you, baby. and if he ain't holding you tight
Starting point is 00:14:34 if he ain't treating you right I'm gonna be the first one is calling him crazy his girl it's a matter of time until you find it the right guy staring you back into your eyes right now no rush but if he ever sangs you up
Starting point is 00:14:51 Nice Is that where you play the very last Where do you put that in your set list? So we just started moving this moving that one up but it's still towards like the back half. Like probably the last three or four songs, we kind of will play that one
Starting point is 00:15:07 and then we'll end on some of the other ones, some of the new ones. Because if you played it earlier, people'll be like, oh, we heard it, let's go, guys. I know. Wouldn't that be terrible of like half of your, that was like one of the worst parts
Starting point is 00:15:19 about playing through the pandemic when we were doing these drive-in shows? Like, I just tell myself that they were trying to beat the traffic because nobody wants to say like, oh yeah, that car's leaving because you just ran them off. But, like, they would just be parked right in front and then you just see them, like, back out.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Like, headlights hit you. Reverse lights. They're, like, taking off. There's, like, five or six cars lined up to get off the highway, and you're just kind of still sitting there playing songs. Have you played many live shows? I've played... I've played four since last March. Since you're able to get back out on the road.
Starting point is 00:15:52 But you've played four recently. I've played four, and three of them have been within the last three weeks. Is it pretty exciting to get back out there? It is, man. God, it felt great. I mean, we did one in Indiana that was, you know, almost half capacity, and the last two have been right at full capacity. And it feels good to be back out playing music, being on stage.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Pretty awesome. Where do you put slow dance in a parking lot in your set? I usually do a little, like, acoustic thing in the middle of my set, and I usually end that with, in that little segment with slow dance. And then we've got four or five left that we try to. to end on a high note. Here is a little bit of slow dance in a parking lot from Jordan Davis. Lights go down, wheels go around, I'm taking your home, hoping for a slow song to come
Starting point is 00:16:54 on radio now. I'm not ready to shut it down in the dashboard glow. It's hitting your eyes making me lose everything. So might mind, any only thing I want to do is find a spot. Stop this car and throw it in parking. Slow down with you, spinning you round by the Walmart sign and moving our feet over the painting white lines get close to you, making the most of whatever we got, even if it's just a slow dance in a parking lot. Nice. I thought I wanted to ask you to dance during the Eddie, but I thought it would be weird.
Starting point is 00:17:39 I would be weird. Good thing you didn't. Now, the reason we're here today is the By Dirt EP is out today. it's eight songs, which one of these songs is almost maybes, which is now in the top 10. How great is it to have more songs to add to your live show that people know? I just got to think that that changes the whole show. You know, at first, it was crazy thinking back two years ago.
Starting point is 00:18:00 When we would get a 60-minute set, it was pretty nerve-wracking. It was like, all right, you don't want to play just covers the whole time, but you've only got two songs that they really know. They don't really know a lot of album songs. So it's pretty wild now to start building those sets out. And being like, man, how are we going to get to all these songs? Or like if we have like a 45-minute festival slot, where it's kind of like, man, we've got, you know, coming up on five singles,
Starting point is 00:18:25 you know, how do we mix in some of the songs that aren't singles that they still want to hear? So, yeah, a lot better spot to be in now than it was starting out when we were running all the place in a van. This is track six on the new EP. This is Almost Maybe. Play a little bit of this for us. Ready to rock? I had one say we were done in a Baton Rouge college ball
Starting point is 00:18:53 Kind of came out of nowhere, man, I took that one pretty hard I had another one in another town and I spent a whole lot of nights missing her Till it all went black, she stopped texting back and I finally got the picture So here's to the almost so close it's over out of the blues Here's to the hey I think we need to talk and he It ain't me, it's used Here's to the tears and beers And wasted ears on weeds
Starting point is 00:19:23 It look like daisies But I wouldn't be sitting in next to you If it weren't for the almost maybe That's a good one too Who knew the guy had so many good songs? I appreciate it. He also has, in case you're wondering, Take It For Me was the number one song too, right?
Starting point is 00:19:38 Take It From Me was there as well, yeah, yeah. I mean, he just slowly creeps up on you with all the hits. Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. I mean, I still remember the first day getting the call about singles you up being a number one, and it's still just a special every time that we get one. So very grateful.
Starting point is 00:19:53 On this new EP, you wrote every song except for track one, which is that John Prine song. Yeah. Why'd you pick that song? Man, that was always one of my... I'm a huge John Prine fan, and unfortunately we lost him over the pandemic. And, you know, not that John Prine needed me to tip my hat to him,
Starting point is 00:20:09 but that was just my way of saying thank you for the influence that he's had on my music and the songs that he's left us with, And I just thought that would be a great way to kind of start off this EP. Buy Dirt has Luke Brian on it. It's the title track. It's track two on this.
Starting point is 00:20:26 How did you get Luke and why this song for Luke? Actually, when we finished it, I was like, man, this just feels like, you know, Luke. And the cool thing is, you know, that song is Luke. I mean, he's got farms all over Tennessee. So he knows a little bit about buying dirt. But also, too, man, he's a great. great dad, great husband, and just a great guy.
Starting point is 00:20:50 And I actually sent him a text message with the song attached. And I was like, Luke, man, this song means a lot to me. And I think it's going to speak to you. If it does, I would love to have you on it. If not, I know you're busy. But don't even feel the need to respond, but just check it out and hope you well. Dang, that's a weird message you have to say. It really, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I mean, like, I knew he's super busy with, I mean, I don't, like, everything is going on. And I hate, like, putting people in a situation where, like, because I've been sent some stuff where, like, you hate saying no, and you're like, gosh, man, I wish I could say yes, this, but I can't. So I like to just kind of leave it open-ended, especially when you're talking to Luke Brian. It's usually good to leave it open-ended. Here is Jordan Davis with Luke Bryan. Here's Buy Dirt. By Dirt. Find the one you can't live without.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground. Do what you love but call at work. Can throw a little money in the plated church Send your prayers up in your roots down deep And add a few limbs to your family tree And watch their pencil marks in the grass in the yard All grow up Because the truth about it is
Starting point is 00:22:01 It all goes by real quick You can't buy happiness But you can buy dirt Isn't it cool when you get it back And you get to hear him put his voice on it the first time? It's pretty wild even watching him sing that. Because I mean, like, Luke's been such a influence on me,
Starting point is 00:22:20 especially after moving to Nashville. But, like, just sitting in the studio with him watching Luke sing on. Oh, you were in with him. Oh, yeah. I was there, like, the day, like, headphones on and just, like, waiting for that second verse to come in and him to start singing. And, like, you know, I mean, it's a pinch me thing
Starting point is 00:22:36 where you're like, dude, I'm sitting here in Nashville, Tennessee, recording a song that I got to write with some of my best friends and Luke Brine's in there singing on it. It's pretty wild. I just think about sending that text and you're just like, oh man, is he going to respond? You're watching see if those bubbles pop up and then they go away and they can.
Starting point is 00:22:52 But then he also gave permission for him not to respond. I try to leave it as opening. I know, which is nice and thoughtful because you know how busy is. Then you're like, didn't he get it? What did he say back to it? His first message back was, what's your plan with this song?
Starting point is 00:23:08 And like, I looked down and saw like text from Luke and I was like, oh my God, he listened to it. like I looked down I was like what's your plan so I basically just reset I think I was like so nervous I just reworded the first message I said and now that like
Starting point is 00:23:25 now that I'm looking back on it he was probably like okay well what do you want to do is this like a full on like do you want me to take second verse do you want me to like how are we doing this that's probably what he meant but I'm just like this song means a lot to me oh he's like man let me live
Starting point is 00:23:43 with it for a week and and I mean almost to the day calls him back a week later I'm sitting on the couch my father-in-law and I look down and when you see Luke Brian come on your phone you know he's about to tell you yes or no does your heart flutter like oh boy here this is the answer oh yeah and the best thing I was watching golf with my father-in-law my phone's on the couch and he looks down and sees Luke Brian too and I was like we grab that for me he's like oh no man I think you need to get that boy he called dude he was I mean he was actually driving out to his farm whenever he called I'm going to buy some dirt. You probably felt like it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 He probably felt like it. He's just going to do it all together. All right, you guys. Jordan Davis has a new EP out today. Just, you know, such a good guy, good music. He talks about golf, but every time I text him, he's like, ah, sorry, I can't play. It's been at least four times.
Starting point is 00:24:27 I've asked him to play at least four times at this point. And I've been out of town every time. One, I think one time Jordan texted me to play golf, and it was during the morning. And I'm like, I have a job. It's like when you ask someone to do something, but you know they're busy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no. There's a good chance you're either in Cali.
Starting point is 00:24:45 I knew there's a chance you're doing something. But I was like, you know what? We've been trying to play golf together forever. I'm going to text him just to see. And you did try to make it work. He's like, I know it's a weekday and it's during the morning hours. And I don't know what you got going on. I'm like, I have to do my job.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I don't know if you're busy. I have to pay my mortgage. You guys check out buy dirt, not only this song, but the entire EP. Jordan, good to see you, bud. You too, buddy. Thank you. Love having you around. There he is.

Starting point is 00:32:09 It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. Last week in Mesa, Arizona, Annie and her husband are watching TV at night, and they hear this loud banging on the door. What is happening? Apparently, there's five guys knocking the door and saying, hey, get out of your house. The house next to you is on fire, and the wind is blowing it. It's coming to your house in two seconds.
Starting point is 00:32:33 So they get out, and sure enough, they look at the house like, oh my gosh, their house was about to get hit. And it wasn't for these five strangers. They were driving by, I saw the fire. They wouldn't have gotten out safely. Also, I don't know that I would be smart enough to go to a neighbor's house. You would go for the house on fire. Meaning I would go like, the house on fire, get out. And then I'd be like, everybody else is cool.
Starting point is 00:32:51 But good for them to kind of look next level and beat on the window. Yes, there's a clip of Annie talking about what she went through. If we hadn't got out when we did, we wouldn't be here. They saved our life. Yeah, I don't think I would have been smart enough to do that. I'm like, you're all good. You're not in the house that's on fire. Yeah, so they just weren't five braids.
Starting point is 00:33:12 men. There were five smart men too. There it is. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's see if anyone can take down the queen of fun facts, Amy. She took down Ramundo last week. It is now time. Fun fact Friday. The champion is Amy. Her challenger this week is producer Eddie. You each give five fun facts.
Starting point is 00:33:36 You'll match up one versus one. You'll get a point. The person with the most points wins. Let's go. Fun fact number five. Number five. So you've seen Jennifer Lopez, you know, at 51. She's looking pretty good. Well, that's the same age that Rue McClanahan was when she started playing Blanche on the Golden Girls. Rue was born in February, 1934.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Jennifer was born in 1969. Nice. But kind of crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. I think a Rue McClain had been an old woman on that show. And a golden girl. She's retired. And J-Lo, no.
Starting point is 00:34:11 She's like dancing on a pole at the Super Bowl with Shakira. Okay, Eddie? Good job, Amy. Playing to your crowd. I love that. Guys, grapes. Everybody likes grapes. So please do not try this at home.
Starting point is 00:34:22 If you put grapes in the microwave, guess what happens? You get a flame. They light on fire. There's something about ions in the grape. It turns into plasma when it gets hot. You want a fire in your microwave? Put grapes in there. But why would you want to do that?
Starting point is 00:34:36 No, that's what I said. Don't do that. Okay. Okay. Let's go to our panel of judge. Ramundo. Yeah, the great one. I'm trying today.
Starting point is 00:34:46 That is awesome, Eddie. All the way with Eddie on that one. Don't try it, dude. Come on. Lunchbox? I don't know anything about the Girl and Girls, so I don't know who Rue McKinnahan is. Blanche.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Like I said, so I have to go Eddie. I would have one with you. That one's a lot more fun. But you lost that one. All right. Eddie won, Amy Zero. Coming out strong. Number four.
Starting point is 00:35:07 Eddie? There are almost 8 million possible seven-digit phone numbers per area code. Out of all the phone numbers that we have, there are 8 million of them. That's why, guys, if you want to get a certain number, it's out there. Okay, Amy?
Starting point is 00:35:23 Okay, so the person who invented the stethoscope was a guy named Renee Lannick, and he came up with it because he didn't feel comfortable putting his ear directly on a woman's chest. That's kind of funny. I think Eddie feels like he lost his way. Yeah, I'm up for you, Amy.
Starting point is 00:35:38 Do you concede? Yes, absolutely. You can cedes that one. Okay. Everybody, Amy? One, two, three. Amy. All right. You can concede though if you want. But Eddie can cedes. All right. One to one. Number three. So in 2016, a tired Uber driver asked his passenger to take over the wheel
Starting point is 00:35:55 while in a 300-mile trip so that he could take a little nap. The driver woke up in the middle of a police chase. No way. True story. Wow. First of all, an Uber driver goes 300 miles. Who knew you could hire someone to go that far? Second of all, it's like, hey, man, I'm really exhausted.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Hop up here, and you wake up when the cops are chasing you? Yeah. You have to wonder why you're maybe even delivering someone 300 miles. Yeah. What are they running from? Eddie? Amy, that's a good bonehead. Do you guys know that lobsters, their blood is not red.
Starting point is 00:36:27 They actually have clear colored blood. And when it hits oxygen, which is like if it breeds air, it turns blue. How about that? All right. Ramundo? I'm going to go with Amy and the police chase. It was a tad more interesting and fun. Lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Police chase is always better than a crab and... Lobsters, lobster. That lobster was fun, Eddie, but I still give it to Amy. Yeah, still give it to Amy. All right, Amy's up two to one. Here we go. Next one, countdown. Number two.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Man, did you know that Costco's hot dogs have cost a $1.50 since their debut in 1985? They've stayed a $1.50 because the company president protested about losing money. but one of the founders was like, whoa, I don't care if we lose money. If you raise the price of the Blankin hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out. Wow. He'd say, we'll kill him? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Blankin kill you. So, yeah, just, you know, that's why the hot dog price is still the same all these years later. Okay. Eddie? You may not know this, guys, but in your house, the average household contains 300,000 items in it. In our houses, we have 300,000. thousand things. Isn't that crazy?
Starting point is 00:37:41 That sound you hear from Amy is hard knowing. She just won't Find Mike Friday again. Okay, go ahead. Keep going, Eddie. No, that's it. 300,000 things, guys. Come on. Lunch, box.
Starting point is 00:37:52 That's Eddie. I didn't find the hot dog interesting at all. Okay, Ray? Well, the same price since 85. Ray, go ahead. Yeah, that's got to be difficult to keep something the same price for over 30 years. I love Amy.
Starting point is 00:38:01 Give me the hot dog. Yeah. I thought it would be Amy walking away. But, Amy, you did win. Wait. And we still have the number one? Yeah, we have. You've already clenched, but let's...
Starting point is 00:38:10 So we can save it or I'll tell it. Go ahead. Okay. Well, in rare cases, guys, it is possible for a woman to become pregnant while she's already pregnant. That's not fun. That would be a nightmare. It actually happened to a woman, Rebecca Robert. She's 39 years old.
Starting point is 00:38:29 And she was diagnosed with superfeitation. And it like forms a fetus inside of another fetus. And boom, you get pregnant while you're already pregnant. Wow. That's like two gender reveals in like three months. It can happen. Eddie, what was your number one would have been? Oh, mine was really good.
Starting point is 00:38:44 So in the 1999 movie Fight Club, you know Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, in every scene, there is a Starbucks cup. Oh, that's fun. Isn't that cool? You know what? That's a really fun one. I was saving it for the last, but I never got there. You almost got to play it as you go, right? Well, I thought I had the 300,000 household things.
Starting point is 00:39:00 You did? Yeah. The hot dog bones? That was least fun than the grapes. Well, okay. And let me tell you, if. If you guys, if Lunchbox and Ray see a side-by-side of Blanche and J-Lo, they're going to see what I'm talking about. But you have to also explain.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I know. It's a visual. I know. I debated telling it because this is radio. You could have picked up pictures and been like. Oh, next level. Yeah. I have it right here. Hey, next week, our Amy will take on a listener. Yes. Who said he called in earlier last week and was like, I want to challenge Amy. So we'll have a listener versus Amy next week. She's showing lunchbox a picture.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Yeah, Blanche still looks old. Exactly. That's the fun fact. They're the same age. She's the same age as Jayla. Oh, that's the, I thought you were saying she was hot. It's not my fault. It's not my fault. I'm dealing with.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Anyway, all right, there you go. Our champion, Amy, the queen of fun facts. Close it up. Fun fact Friday. When you call us, and you can, after the show at night, two o'clock in the morning, leave us a voicemail. Same number, 877-77 Bobby. Up first, the voicemail from Shanda and Ler.
Starting point is 00:40:08 Louisville, Kentucky. I just was listening to Bobby Reed the top three country songs for the week, and I heard you mention Eric Church, Hell of a View. Cracked me up because I've never heard you say those words before. I know you don't cut. I don't either, but I just thought it was so funny to hear you say that. It was a little awkward, and I wonder if it tripped you up to or what the deal is. Good point. I feel like hell is a place, and that's how I justified saying that word. may not be the same tense, but I feel like heaven is a place, hell is a place.
Starting point is 00:40:41 So I say hell of a view. I think of the place of a view. Good call. I don't curse. I haven't said a curse word. I don't think in four years. But I did struggle internally, and I thought I can go with this.
Starting point is 00:40:54 We all feel good about that? Yeah. Okay, good. Here is Joey from Georgia. Bobby, you got a question for you. I'm a last long Florida fan, just like you are. with Arkansas. I didn't attend you at University of Florida, but my daughter is now going to go to
Starting point is 00:41:09 the University of Georgia. My deep rival, I was just wondering if your children, when you have them, chose the rival of Arkansas to go to, how would you deal with that? Thanks. Love the show. Well, I have a bigger problem before that that Caitlin is from Oklahoma and is a die-hard Oklahoma Sooner fan. And so we're already battling about what our kids are going to be. Obviously, it's Arkansas, except she says obviously it's Oklahoma. So before it's that, we have to actually create an allegiance with our kids. Yeah, obviously it's whatever your kids choose.
Starting point is 00:41:43 No, I'm saying as a fan, as a kid, because you can kind of force it on them. If it's all Arkansas all the time, they become Arkansas fans. But she's going to be all Oklahoma all the time, and I'm worried because right now they get a better football team. Gotcha. So that's all we're going to hold off on having kids
Starting point is 00:41:57 until Arkansas's good again. Smart. That's how you. Let's do one more. Here's a voicemail, too, from last night. I just want to say this morning I was not prepared for the pop-up dance party. I'm driving my daughter to school and I could not figure out why Britney Spears were on the country station. Then I started freaking out that it was actually Friday and not Thursday because of the dance party.
Starting point is 00:42:15 Luckily you guys came in and said it was a pop-up dance party, but I still loved it. Keep it up. Love you guys. Oh, yeah. Some people probably need a warning. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the voicemails. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University and a forward.

Starting point is 00:46:17 If it's like, hey, I think somebody can use these, then I'm not now. Yes, but that's about it. So do you think you're ever guilty, though, of donating stuff that probably should retire and you should throw it away? Like garbage? Like clothes that I know no one will wear? No. It's always stuff I think someone will buy
Starting point is 00:46:33 because they make their money off people buying stuff from them. Exactly. Well, Goodwill has had to put out a message so I thought I'd pass it along that they would politely like to ask that we stop donating junk because a lot of people have been decluttering during the pandemic and making tons of donations,
Starting point is 00:46:49 which is amazing, but they're including things that Goodwill can't sell. Like, for example, a table with one missing leg. Yeah, that would fall into the junk category. Yet that's the kind of stuff sometimes that's making its way to Goodwill. So if you know that it's something that should just technically go to the trash, don't even waste Goodwill's time with it because their time is precious. And I think people's hearts are in the right place.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Yes. Where they're going, hey, I can't use this, but maybe somebody can. Because you can just easily haul it to the dump as you can in Goodwill, right? Yeah. I think they think, but yeah, I mean, if you don't think someone will spend five bucks on it, I don't think I would take it to Goodwill. Yeah, and then they definitely, I just want to say this, they don't want to discourage people from donating, but you can maybe take it by and be like, hey, is this something y'all could use?
Starting point is 00:47:33 And if they can't, then you politely take it to the garbage and get rid of it because they have to pay to get rid of it if they're left with it. Okay, got it. So Matthew Perry fans were a little caught off guard with some slurred speech in the Friends Reunion promo. Here's the clip that people are talking about. I stole the cookie jar that had the clock on it, and I gave it to Lisa Kudrow. Because she one point looked at it and thought it was a real clock, and I gave it to her. Do you have any thoughts? Obviously, his speech is not good, but the guy's been through a lot as far as addiction,
Starting point is 00:48:09 going through rehabilitation. He's also older. Like, I'm sure that there's something happening with him. I don't know what it is. Not my business to guess what it is. But, yeah, I think we can all hear that his speech is not as good as it used to be. Why? What are people saying? Well, I think some people are like, oh, this is breaking my heart, kind of jumping to the conclusion that, yes, he might be altered in some way.
Starting point is 00:48:30 But why I wanted to bring it up too is so we could maybe offer that other perspective of like, we literally have no idea what's going on with him. And it might not be our business. And there might be something totally deeper. He may not have a choice. That might just be how he is talking. It doesn't mean he went and did something or he's on something or anything like that. Well, that's what I would assume. I think the guy's been through a lot. And that's it. And that's probably, after all, he's been through. He has a different speech pattern now that doesn't sound as good as it used to be. I wouldn't assume he's drunk or anything right now.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Yeah. Well, on a positive note, it is going to be next week. So I'm so pumped for the Friends reunion. It's on HBO Max, big time special, and it's airing May 27th. So Parker McCollum responded to a tweet that Waterburger put up. They said, it's midnight at the Waterburger Drive through, what's your order and what song are you blasting for everyone to hear? And then Parker quote retweeted them and on top, he was like, hey, I wrote hell of a year in the drive-thru at
Starting point is 00:49:30 at 2 o'clock in the morning at one of the waterburgers off William Cannon and 35 in Austin, Texas. And yes, that is a true story. So shout out to Parker McCollum writing songs in drive-thrus at 2 a.m. It's also a true story that I've been to that exact waterburger more than 10 times in my life. For sure. That exact one. Yeah. So cool. So I'm so. Cool. So I'm sure I see a Parker McCollum Waterburger. Collab. Collab happening somewhere in the near future. All right. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.
Starting point is 00:50:00 It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So this family came to America from Nigeria in 2017. They were put up in temporary housing and a homeless shelter. And one of their kids, who was seven years old at the time, was really into check. started playing. Well, the payment to enter a tournament was like $330. They couldn't pay that. Well, he got a chess coach who ended up setting up a go fund me for the boy and people donated. They got the
Starting point is 00:50:33 family into an apartment. They're out of the homeless shelter. They raised more than like $250,000. Wow. And now this kid is like 10 and he's a chess master. Like any plans to be what they call a grandmaster by the time he's 11 or 12. And so he's going to be making money. off of chess, which is super cool. Did you watch a Netflix show? I did. Yeah, Queens Gamblet. Close, Queen's Gambit. I thought it sounded off.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, Gamblet is a... It's a gamblet. I don't know. It's a word you made up. A goblet? Yes, Queen's Gambit. Really good show, and it was a fictional story,
Starting point is 00:51:07 but, you know, after watching it, I researched like Bobby Fisher, who was a great American chess champion, and he would be playing 50 people at once in a room, walking around, he's a kid playing all these grandmasters, and just whooping all. There's also a movie called Searching for Bobby Fisher, right? Is it good?
Starting point is 00:51:22 Older. Yeah, older. Like, I think Lawrence Fishburn or something where one of those guys are in it. Is it good? Really good, yeah. Dang. That's a great story. Yeah, so shout out.
Starting point is 00:51:30 His name is Tani. Don't you wish you had whatever that kid has? Yeah. Like he has some God-given gift. His brain is just on a different level. Man, I'm so jealous. All right, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
Starting point is 00:51:43 What's happening, friends? Coming up, Matthew Ramsey, the lead singer of Old Dominion. he fell while changing a light bulb, punctured a lung, broke a rib, and we're going to talk to him about that. I want to know if he had to get an ambulance. Like, was it that serious? He was going to come and sing today, they were, but because of the situation, he can't sing. I'm told he can't laugh either, so I'm really going to limit my jokes. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Yeah, I'm really going to. Okay. I'm trying to be not that funny. It's tough. Wow. Before we get to Amy's joke, let's go over to Morgan. We better tell my joke before we get at you on. Hey, make sure he's not listening, Ray.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Yeah. Let's go to Morgan and get in Food World. It's time for Food World. Num, Num, Num, with Morgan number two. So Kellogg's is dropping a new cereal mashup. We all love cereal, but this one is frosted flakes mixed with apple jacks. So you get like that apple jacks cinnamon apple flavor, but then you get like the crunch of frosted flakes. I love both those cereals.
Starting point is 00:52:43 Yeah, they're good. When I hear them together, and I'm sure they've done tests on so many. people. But it doesn't sound appealing to me together. I think a fruit loop and a frosted flakes feels better. Interesting. Yeah. Aren't the fruit loops and the apple jacks kind of the same? Kind of the same. Yeah, but they're not the same flavor. They do have a fruit loop's frosted flakes mashup already.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Oh. There's been all kinds of cereal mashups this year. And it's the same box. Like you just pour it out and it's all there. Yep. It's just all in one. So instead of having to get two cereals to mix them together on your own, it's now comes in one box. If you think about it, this genius, you know, on the, I'm sure whoever comes up with the serial thing, they have these big meetings and they're like, hey guys, we got all these awesome cereals, let's just throw them in a box together and make more money. We only got this much left to this one. Right, and we'll charge people more. I'm sure it's good. It seems a little weird, but I would try it. That was Food World with Morgan number two. Numb, num, num, num, no. Thank you,
Starting point is 00:53:42 Morgan. Yeah. Over to Amy. Let's do the morning corny. The morning corny. How do you make the number one disappear? How do you make the number one disappear? You add a G and it's gone. Oh, got it. That was the morning corny. All right, you guys.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Hey, you guys. That's a good one. On the phone right now in Oklahoma is Rebecca. Hey, Rebecca, what's going on? Hey, I just wanted to say thank you. You did an amazing thing for me. I listen to you every day on the radio on my way to work, and I was in an abusive relationship for 10 years, and listening to you, I just realized that there are good men in the world,
Starting point is 00:54:32 and your positivity and just your kindness. I don't know. I was able to leave, and you were a really big part of that. And now I'm not there in my marriage anymore, and I'm filed for divorce, and I give you a huge credit for that. I just want to say thank you. Well, I don't know that I deserve a credit, but I will say a credit to you. That's a tough decision to make, and I'm glad you made it.
Starting point is 00:54:53 You know, that definitely was not an easy step, especially after being in that relationship for so long. How are you feeling now as a person? Are you better? I feel stronger. I've got two kiddos. They both have special needs, so it was a huge decision to make, and I do feel better. Well, I'm very proud of you. And I think as tough as it has been, and heck, as tough as it's going.
Starting point is 00:55:16 to be because let's not act like everything's going to be easy now. I think it's going to be so worth it. And I think you're going to find your worth more and more and more to the point where someone is going to feel lucky just to even be with you. So look forward to that. I'm proud to see your growth. I loved, listen, I had nothing to do with it. I really did. I mean, thank you for saying the nice things. But this is all you. And I hope you go to sleep at night and you look in the mirror and you're very proud of what you see, okay? Thank you. I appreciate it. And you, were just an inspiration. What are your kids' names? They're Joseph and Colton. Man, tell Joseph and Colton that we said hello and their mom is awesome and that we're just so proud that we got to talk
Starting point is 00:55:58 to her on the air today, okay? Thank you. I will. All right. Bye, Rebecca. Thank you for the call. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Let's go over to Drew and Georgia. Drew, what's going on? Hey, man, I just wanted to call and say that I'm a big fan of the show. I wanted to ask your advice on something. I've been dating this girl for about four months. and I'm head over heels for her and she said that she loves me too. I want to spend the rest of my life with her but I don't want to move too fast
Starting point is 00:56:25 and I just want her to get some advice should I just kill and be cool or should? I got you. Here's the advice. You've been in her four months. I know you're head over hills. You can feel that way.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Don't push that on her right now. You got to trickle that out there. It's like when you're getting lost in the woods you put a little with a few crumbs so you can find your way back. You just leave crumbs right now. Don't, because you can push her away. So don't push her away.
Starting point is 00:56:51 At a year, you can be like, I love you at 10 months. Not at four months. Invest in the future, my friend. That's it. Thank you. Good luck. All right, good. Feel pretty good about this segment.

On the Bobby Bones show now. Matt Ramsey from Old Dominion. Matt, I have to start obviously with you falling. You were supposed to be in studio to sing, but then you fell out.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Tell me what happened. Why are you injured? I was changing a light. Oh, man. Literally just up on a ladder. I was probably of seven or eight feet up and the ladder just buckled underneath me. I fell backwards, landed on the stairs, broke a rib, punctured my lung. It was brutal. I've never punctured a lung, so I've broken a rib, but did you know, could you feel something in a lung like, like, pss? No, it wasn't like that. It was just like, you know how I'm sure you've had the breath knocked out of you before. Like I was sort of, it just felt like that, a lot of pain,
Starting point is 01:01:15 but felt like that. And I was kind of waiting for, for me to be able to breathe again. And it just never came back. So, you know, some athletes are injury prone where they're consistently getting hurt. And you're like, dang, they're so good. But why the, like, between you having to be in the chair, playing on stage, you've sticking a rip through your lung, are you the most injury prone superstar in country music? I can't, I can't figure it out. I mean, It's like, you know, Luke Brian keeps falling off stages. He's fine. You repel down canyon walls.
Starting point is 01:01:45 You're fine. I'm trying to change a light bulb that doesn't even need to be changed, really. I just didn't like the shade of white it was. And I break a rib and punch my mom. When you go to the hospital, I assume that's an emergency room call, was it? Oh, yeah, yeah. Ambulance had to come. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:02:02 That's cool. Wait, tell me about that. That's cool. So do they come to your house with the lights or what happened? Yeah, man. It was full on, it was full on 911 experience, like staying on the line with me. Because I mean, quite honestly, man, it was pretty scary. I couldn't breathe at all.
Starting point is 01:02:19 And I was, I was really scared. And they were coming. You know, I was listening for the sirens. The dispatch was on the line. She wouldn't hang up. And, you know, I thought that there was a possibility that I might die. I could not breathe. So it was actually, it's funny now, but it was actually pretty scary.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Yeah, I want to stay on it's funny now because you did live. I want to make sure because we're laughing. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, good, good, good. I'm good. Did they open the back doors, or they double doors? Are you on like a cot? And do they shove you in like in the movies?
Starting point is 01:02:49 Yeah, shove me in there and kept apologizing because, you know, every little move hurt. So, and he was like, I'm sorry, man, I'm going to try to drive as smooth as I can, but this is a big old truck. So was a rough ride? Was anybody in the ambulance? I don't know how professional they have to be, but is anybody like, hey, are you the guy? You're the guy. No one was and then and then no one was at the hospital until the next morning. When the shift changed, the new nurse came in and I like said something.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I had a mask on, of course, but she just kind of looked and she was like, I knew immediately from your voice that who you were. So she's like, we're going to take care of you. I know who you are. I'm sorry you're in here. Did you get the hotel bill for, or excuse me, excuse me, the hospital bill for the ambulance? because I'm assuming that ain't cheap. I haven't gotten it yet.
Starting point is 01:03:39 I'm kind of waiting for it to come, but yeah. Worth it, though. Yeah, I assume. I mean, I've ordered Uber Black, and that ain't cheap. And I got to imagine this is way more expensive than that. Yeah, it's probably way, way more expensive. All right, Matt Ramsey from Old Dominion is on. They were going to come in and play today, but obviously he's hurt.
Starting point is 01:03:56 He's actually somewhere with a fancy curtain behind him. He's not even here in the studio at all. Fancy, yeah. That's like, that's a thick curtain. Listen, I've been curtain shopping a little bit lately. I'm going to tell you those things aren't cheap either. Curtains are not cheap, man. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:04:09 We'll have to compare ambulance rides versus drapes, so we'll see. Okay, my final question about this, because I do want to move to music, but are you going to be able to sing, play, do the old Dominion thing soon, or how long are you on the DL? I'm really close. I should be back at it. You know, we have a show, I think, very soon, I don't know, probably seven days or so. So I think I should be good for that. The biggest pain is the rib. The lung is back.
Starting point is 01:04:41 I'm breathing. It took a few days, but I'm breathing good, and I'm at full capacity there. But it's just dealing with the pain of the rib. What would have been cool? Because we do a segment called Tell Me Something Good, is if the ambulance driver would went back to your house and changed the light out for you as you were gone.
Starting point is 01:04:54 And you came home, and then they would have, and they'd have been like, yeah, Matt Ramsey's light gets fixed. You know, yeah. Our production manager on the road came in, and did that for me. He put the ladder away and changed the light bulbs for me. Oh, we'll see there. Tell me something good. Hey, what's the story behind the song? I was on a boat that day. I've seen
Starting point is 01:05:16 pictures. Maybe it's like the press picture, but I watched some of you guys riding to and just tell me this. Yeah, man, we were, you know, we made this album in Asheville, North Carolina. We've told you about it before, I think, where we just went out there and wrote and recorded this album. And this was one of those songs that we recorded and wrote there, but it's actually a title that we've been kind of joking about writing since we were writing Break Up with him. It's been kicking around for that long and sort of became a joke. Like anytime we needed an idea, someone would be like, hey, let's write I was on a boat that day. And we never really took it seriously as a song until we were there in Asheville. And then we started actually digging into what that song could be and how fun it could be.
Starting point is 01:06:00 and turned out to be really, really fun. We had such a great time recording it. It was just like a big party. And, man, it was a blast to write that song. We're going to play it coming up in just a second because today's the first day that it's out. Are you guys working on another album or are you just doing some EPs or singles?
Starting point is 01:06:15 Like, what is now the direction of Old Dominion? I mean, right? We're trying to figure that out. It's such a moving target these days to figure out what the right thing to do is. We have like 12, 13 songs that we've recorded on that trip. We have a full album. a matter of how we want to release it. So, you know, sometimes you release a full album and
Starting point is 01:06:35 fans gobble it up and, you know, in six months they're asking for more and we're like, hey, we're still working on this one. But so we're trying to figure out how to best attack that. We may just dump it all or we may just release it a little at a time. Matt from Old Dominion is health, healthy-ish. We're on the mend, right? We're making the official statement here. I'll be back soon. Yeah, I'm saying I'm 75% right now. I saw that you guys are doing a bunch of baseball parks, which is cool. I saw it on Instagram. That's really cool. You guys are going to go play, and you have quite the little lineup there to play with you guys.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Yeah, man, there's a, you know, revolving cast of characters there, but it's going to be fun. I'm just so happy that we're getting back out there, man, just to get back out there and play some shows. We played a show in Key West not too long ago. It was so cool to just see a crowd of people again and hear, you know, real applause, not some sort of virtual thing. So we're just, we're pumped to play anywhere. He says that and I'm virtual. He's like, you know what? I hate virtual people. and virtually. Yeah. This is good.
Starting point is 01:07:33 It's the shows that are tough. We're going to play the new one here from Old Dominion. Hey man, glad you're doing well. We kid because we love you. Glad you're healthy. This is Matthew Ramsey from Old Dominion. Here is the new song. I was on a boat that day here on the Bobby Bone show.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Good to see you, bud. Yeah, man. Thanks. Sorry we couldn't make it, man. All good. I'll invoice you like the ambulance. See you soon. Bye, guys.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Hey, just a little note here. Running Wild with Bear Grills, this season is on Disney Plus today. So if you weren't able to watch it, it's on Disney Plus, Caitlin and I's episodes. I hope you guys can't get a chance and watch it. And I can't wait for the 31st. My new show's out. But that being said, my other announcement is George Strait is playing ACL, Austin City Limits Music Festival. Oh, that's awesome.
Starting point is 01:08:19 This is amazing. Which is crazy. I saw it yesterday. I mean, the cowboy rode away a long time ago and it keeps popping back up. Right, but it's such a convenient, it's not like he has to ride really far. He's just probably going to ride on up from San Antonio to Austin and get it done. Yeah, I'll make a million and a half bucks or so. Wow.
Starting point is 01:08:37 I mean, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you saddle up? I would saddle back up, yes. But, I mean, the Cowboy rode away. They did a special. And it's like the Cowboy pops his head out again occasionally. Didn't we go to the Cowboy Rides Away tour in Vegas? We did go to one of those shows.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Oh, man, jealous. But that festival is cool. George Strait, Billy Elish, Stevie Nix, Miley Cyrus, John Party is playing it. So it's a whole thing. But I was thinking about Eddie because this song, I was listening to it on the radio. You know, the line is, I'm carrying your love with me. West Virginia down to Tennessee. I never thought much about it until Eddie starts screaming.
Starting point is 01:09:21 That's the lamest distance to carry love. Because he's trying to show his love. He's like, wow, look at me. I'm carrying your love with me. all the way from West Virginia down to Tennessee. Guys, it's only like 50 miles. Give me a break. Is that it? It's only 50 miles.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Well, but I think it was a rhyme. I think that's what he was chasing. Okay, and let's chase a good one then. From Singapore down to Eleanor. I'm sure there's Eleanor, Texas somewhere. The rhyme is Tennessee. From Boston down to Charleston. No, you need to E!
Starting point is 01:09:54 Okay. I'm carrying your love with me. West Virginia down to Tennessee down to. two. Albany. Come on. You have to go up. Oh, well, then move up.
Starting point is 01:10:03 You know what I'm saying? You have the best songwriters in this town, and they can't come up with anything better than that? West Virginia. Can you look up how far that is West Virginia? Eddie just talks such a big game. Okay. He could have gone from Santa Monica to Albany.
Starting point is 01:10:18 Thank you. Yeah. Actually, yeah, it doesn't, you can do anything for the first town, bones. You can do Alaska down to Tennessee. I agree, but you were only trying to find that E rhyme. It could have been anything. Right.

We have eight computers in the room and nobody's giving me the information. That's hard to calculate, Bobby.
Starting point is 01:11:12 It's not just... No, it's not hard to calculate. Type some numbers in Google, the end. 170 hours. It's 104 miles. The tip of West Virginia's bluefield down to Bristol, 104 miles. 104 miles. Let's go.

I just got to get from West Virginia down to Tennessee. Okay, so now this is, to be clear, we could be donating towards a cause. What cause? See, that's bigger, yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:10 What cause would you want us to donate to? Well, it'd have to be someone with foster children, so let me think about it. I mean, there is a charity that I work with, the National Angels, so maybe them will think about it. Okay, so here's the deal we want to know on Monday. Bluefield, West Virginia to Bristol, Tennessee. That walk is over 100 miles.
Starting point is 01:12:30 100 miles. I will donate $1,000. Wow. But you let me know how much we need to get from our listeners for you to make that walk, okay? This is like Forrest Gump stuff right here.

Twin sisters in South Carolina gave birth in the same hospital, in connected rooms, just minutes apart. That's crazy. Your twin sister, first of all, they had to get pregnant.
Starting point is 01:17:17 At the same time. Oh, I don't know. Not like, at not... All right, you're going in? I'm going in too. You think that happened? I mean, maybe they talked about it because obviously it'd be something special,
Starting point is 01:17:26 but the odds that it actually stuck and worked at the same time. Stuck? Okay. They do live across the street from each other. They're in separate labor rooms. They weren't even in the same bed. You know, sometimes I'll put two beds in the same room. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:39 They were in separate rooms, each had their own room. And they were on FaceTime going, okay, how far long are you? They went in at the same time. How far long are you? And so they were, born, their babies were born seven minutes apart. That's crazy. Cool.
Starting point is 01:17:51 Weird, huh? Yeah. It's cool. It does make you feel good. Like, that's neat for them. Well, Ray's a twin, and he always talks about how annoying it was that they had to dress the same all the time. I wonder if these people are annoyed. Well, but they're not twins. Those babies aren't twins. They're cousins. Right. But I bet you they'll be raised, like, brother.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Yeah, probably super close. Ray, I saw a picture of you and your twin brother with your dad. Yep. It was on your Instagram? For Mother's Day, I did a little family post. Your dad looks exactly like you. He does. With a mustache.
Starting point is 01:18:20 It's like if you put a mustache on Ray, that's his dad. Pretty much, yeah. And your twin brother ended up being a lot bigger than you. Yes. He followed after my dad and got tall. I followed after my mom and got short. Well, stage. Yes.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Your brother, your twin brothers, how tall? In the six, it's probably six, too. Wow. And you are 5'7? He's 5'6. He says that like he's asking. Well, they let me say it today? Ray and I are the same height.
Starting point is 01:18:44 So yeah, 5, 6 then. Who was the best? better athlete. I would say me. He was an amazing baseball player, but all around basketball, baseball, football, wrestling. I was better, but he was an amazing baseball player. Resentful toward him
Starting point is 01:18:59 for his height? No, no, no. That's just how it went. That's what God said. That's true. Then God said you will be short. All right, that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. These are all easy elementary school level questions.
Starting point is 01:19:16 It's called easy, You guys are playing for that tiara. We'll go around the room the first time. Tell us something we don't know about you yet, okay? Okay. Up first, an easy trivia is Amy. Amy, where do the Cowboys football team reside? Oh, they reside in Dallas, Texas.
