your podcast. Hey, welcome to Monday show. Morning Studio. Morning. So they get to know your question is, and you'll have a second to think about it, what makes you most uncomfortable. Now, do with it what you may, but what makes you most uncomfortable? When you look up, I know you'll have your answer.

I'll start. if I'm watching a movie or a TV show and there is a dog at risk of being shot. I was watching, Mike, what's it called? Fallout on Amazon, one of many. And there's a dog a part of the show. He's running along. And the dog, things happen to the dog.

And I'm always like, oh, don't care about the humans. It makes me uncomfortable that the dog is even there. I love dogs so much. I don't even want them in the movie. Or the TV show. And there are a lot of those. The movie with Will Smith, back in the day. The one where he's like fighting the end of the world.

I am legend. The dog. So it makes me uncomfortable when dogs have, there's a chance that could be killed or shot or hurt in a TV show or movie because that's all I think about. Amy. It's weird. My brain went a completely different direction with this.

And I'm most uncomfortable when I have to pee. I know when Amy has to. No, not. always when she has, but when it gets bad, she starts rubbing her thighs. And I know, okay, it's like a sensory thing. Go to the bathroom. Distract myself. That's our, that's her tell.

I play a lot of poker. That's her tell. That means she has to pee. So yours is a physical. Yeah, it's the worst feeling. Eddie, I'm uncomfortable when a bunch of kids want to come talk to me. Like, kids that I don't know. You know, like, say like I'm at a pool and these kids swim up and they're like, hey, mister.

And I'm like, I'm uncomfortable. Like, I don't want to be around kids that don't know. So you're at the pool with your kids. Yeah. Why do they talk to you? But you're uncomfortable when a bunch of kids come up to have a conversation. Why would they? I don't know, dude.

Like, I've been in places where kids are just like, cool, I like your shoes. I'm like, cool. Thank you. Walk away now. Lunchbox? I hate it when women discuss that time of the month. Don't want to hear about it. Still, even after being married.

Yeah. Even when my wife's like, oh, you know, my app. Yeah. Don't want to hear it. You deal with that on your own. That's interesting. I mean, I think there was a time when I was uncomfortable with that. I think ages 20.

like 25. What's so bad about it? No, we don't have it. Yeah, that's just not. Yeah, but if y'all had it, we'd be hearing about it all. I'd written a book about it by now. Exactly. Yeah, but I don't want to hear about it.

Don't need to know. Don't need any of that. Just like, hey, you take care of that. That, I mean. But that's his. I know it is. It just, I can go to the store and buy it. No problem.

I don't even feel weird. It's just normal. No. If I need to go. You can't buy. You wouldn't do that? If you're a wife. What would you do then?

She can figure. It's figured out. Okay, no. You wouldn't even go at all. No, no, no, no. It's probably a hot button for me because my ex-husband couldn't talk about it or help with it or do anything. And it was the most bizarre. Like, it was, it impacted our relationship at times because I just couldn't be my self.

Well, you got divorced. I heard. No. It's not why, but he knows that it was a sore spot. Like, it was ridiculous. And now we have a daughter and he's grown a lot. I will say, and now that we're not together, he's suddenly like, you know, I'm really trying to embrace. I'm really trying to embrace.

to embrace it and talk with her about it. That's good for him, huh? Yeah. Glad you guys are here. Thank you very much. We got a big show today. Cole Swindell stopping by in the next hour. Got engaged. I wonder if he talks about that yet.

Periods? I mean, I wasn't going to just yell that word. Yeah, we weren't going to be on that. You just made lunchbox uncomfortable. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's now rubbing his thighs. He needs to leave. Let's open up the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we come. Oh, Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been invited to a destination wedding. It's in Hawaii. But I don't know what the proper protocol is for these things.

I've been asked to be one of the groomsmen, but it doesn't make sense to go all that way just for a wedding. So my girlfriend and I are going to make a vacation out of it. My question is, since the wedding is technically why we're there, how much time should I set aside for the actual wedding, build-up, ceremony? How much of the time can be our time? I want to live up to my responsibilities. But if I'm being honest, it's more about a nice Hawaiian vacation. what's the proper and respectful time balance on these things. Signed destination wedding, Dan.

Good question. Destination weddings, they're terrible. Unless they're very, very small. I know you had one, Eddie. I did in Hawaii. Yeah, but people that have them and then expect a lot of people to come or even mid, I feel like this. I don't like, that's tough.

Yeah. Unless they're going to pay for it all. What we did is we got married in Hawaii. It was just the immediate family, brother's sisters. I'm not talking about you. You had a very small. I'm just saying, and then we came back and we had a big party for everyone. People feel pressure that they have to go to a wedding so spend money they don't maybe don't have.

Yeah. I feel bad for that type of situation. It doesn't sound like that's the case. I think you will hear in the invitation or you can ask, hey, what's up? When do we need to be there? That's the front side. Yeah. And then the wedding happens and there's probably that night.

And then you're free and clear. That's it. There's nothing the next day. It's always pre. So I would make sure you schedule your vacation on the back, like have it start when the wedding's over. Yep. That way it's not interrupted by like, oh, you're already out here? Can you help me do this?

Oh, that's spoil it all. Try to plan your wedding after, wait, your vacation after the wedding. Right. That's a smart move. Because then you know when everybody's expected to be there because the other groomsmen have the same like criteria protocol. You know when it's over. That night it's over.

Everybody goes home. You stay in Hawaii. That's the easy way to do it. Yeah, that's what my family did. Like once the wedding happened, the next day we flew out to go to a different island for our honeymoon and then they stayed. had a great time for about three days and then they left. But if they got there early, though, would you ask them for help on stuff?

Well, yeah, because you got to do the rehearsal dinner and then you do all that. So, yeah, I wouldn't... All that's okay, as long as it stated. I wouldn't make any plans before the wedding because you don't know what they're planning on doing. Or if you do, don't even tell them you going out there. Yeah. If you're going to do that, we're still in West Virginia. I swear to God, I just saw you at Costco.

I hear waves. No. We got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's found to close. You named the 90s movie. All three of these actors are in, okay? Only one movie that all three of these actors have been in the 90s, named the movie.

For example, if I said Leo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, and Billy Zane, that would be Titanic. Titanic, 1997 was that movie. Great movie. If I were to say Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Robin Williams. Goodwill hunting. Correct. You have five of these.

Here we go. Jeff Goldblum. Bill Pullman Will Smith Yep Let me scratch that one What 90s movie Are those three actors in

Thank you, man. You're the grand champion. Lunchbox, you want to say anything? Man. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. week, the Cleveland Monsters were having their

hockey game, the crowd's going crazy, the seconds are ticking down when someone, whack, shoots a puck, deflected, goes flying over the glass, like a missile heading straight for a four-year-old's head. And this dude, Andrew, was sitting next to the four-year-old,

didn't know the kid, but just stuck his arm out and blocked the puck right in front of the kid's head, saved his life, and they take some selfies, And he leaves. And the mom is like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Like, we should have, like, done something more for this guy.

So she gets on TikTok. He's like, hey, guys, I need to get a hold of this guy. He saved my son's life. TikTok reunited him. They had a reunion. And here's Andrew talking about being a hero. I saw it soaring on through. And my first instincts was just a cover up.

I had a couple other kids sitting behind me as well. So I just tried jumping in front of it. And I was able to deflect off my hand and luckily go over top of him and fall behind him. Yeah, I would have hit under the seat. Yeah, same. You would have? There are lots of small children here. Ah, get under the seat.

Hide from the puck. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He took the puck for the kids. Maybe I've been trying to catch it. I mean, it's not a pop fly, dude. If I were going to cover it, though, I'd try to let me in the back or the shoulder or something. Yeah, I think I'd put my back there. Yeah.

But he put his arm out. Maybe he's trying to, or just, it could have just straight been reaction. Do you ever see the video of the dad who's got a baby and the baby Bjorn and a beer, and then he saves the lady from getting hit by a ball? Baseball is awesome. I bet it was just a react, right? I mean, this guy has a reaction to just stick it out and stop from me. Yeah, probably.

That's a great story. Hey, good for Twitter for doing something good. TikTok. And the four-year-old got the plug. Twitter still done nothing good. Yeah. And the four-year-old got the plug? Yep.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me. Clever Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions,

Cool? All right, cool. Okay, cool. Because I know you're getting married. It's all cool. Love it. You look happy. I just went through that.

Yeah. So like a few years ago. So it's awesome to see because you and I talked about that so many times on this show. For both of us. I know. You literally, I was sitting right there when you said you got to make it happen. It's not just going to happen. And I don't think you, and I think, who knows what I know, but I don't

think like you forced anything. I think it came and you were actually open to it, which was the hardest thing to do. Yeah. It's still hard to believe it happened at the time it did. And it was just perfect timing. How involved are you in the wedding planning process? Just saying yes. Okay. That's, she's doing a lot of it. But where I got into trouble, same, right? Same. Where I got into trouble was I didn't present my availability. I was just like, well, you're doing it all. Right. What I should have done and my advice to you, because I just went through this and we're both, you know, we're not 22. No. We're both established. It would be just to say, hey, whenever you need me to do anything, I'm happy to go anywhere

with you. Right. I didn't really do that. Yeah, that's probably, uh, you were right in the middle of it now and, you know, I'm, I'm there to help when I can, but I know this is her day and. I know, no, I hear you though, but I'm just saying, even if she never uses that, it's just like, hey, I would, when you need me, I would let me know. Yeah. Because this. it can never be used against you that you had nothing to do with it. Right, yeah, okay. Well, that's a good advice. How did you propose?

We were heading to the ACMs last year, and I, on the way out of town where the video shoot for some habits is kind of, that was like our first date kind of deal, and just dawned them. I was like, I wanted to do it in Texas, but I just thought on the way out of town we'd stopped by where we did the video shoot. So that's where I did it on that little dirt road. We shot the video. Did you record it?

Did you definitely record it? Yeah. I had my camera guy out there. So there's clips of it. We hadn't really released a lot of it. Was he hiding in the woods? Yeah, it's somewhere in the field out there. That's weird.

Yeah, man, that's the most nervous I've probably ever been in my life other than talking to her dad. Yeah, it's nerve-wracking to ask, even though you know the answer. Right, absolutely. Like, I was nervous, but I felt like she was going to say yes. Yeah, but I mean, you're just there. And at one point, I kept repeating myself, I was like, just ask her. This is getting out of hand here. How did the dad talk go?

It was fine, you know. Person or phone? What's that? No, in person. Yeah, at her house, she grew up in. And that was definitely more nerve-wracking than asking her to marry me. Just because I can't imagine being a dad and having a daughter. And I don't know that I would think anybody's good enough for, you know.

And he's just, he reminds me a lot of my day. He's just a great guy and her whole family. I mean, I think, you know, losing both your parents so young to have a second chance at, you know, a family like that. And I still have my brothers and some uncles and aunts. stuff, but they are just, I mean, I don't know, it just reminds me in my family, and that's a big part of, you know, the whole deal, getting to, you marry into a family like that, and I just think it's been, it's just been a blessing. That's cool.

Do you say that? I don't, you know, have a mom or a dad, and so, but her parents, my wife's parents, my in-laws, they're awesome. Yeah. I mean, that's a big deal. That's a big part of it, I feel like, and it just, they've taken me in, and it's, like, literally, like, a second chance at having something like that. I said on the year the last couple weeks, like, I never thought I would really love them.

I thought they'd be my wife's parents. Right. I'd always, like, I love them. Well, you hear stories. I know it's like, it could be a nightmare, but that's what I said. We're lucky then because that is, they're great people. Did she know you were going to propose? I mean, I think she had a clue, but she thought I was going to do it somewhere else.

We love Pinewood Social. That was one of our first, like, coffee spots and stuff. So she thought I was going to do it there. But I think when she saw me, you know, wearing something on the bus that I probably wouldn't know. When he's in a tucks. And he's practicing a song called, I'm proposing today. Yeah, yeah. I mean, she didn't know where I was going to do it or whatever,

but I think, obviously, I mean, I had to let her know. You couldn't just surprise somebody like that and her not be ready. Like her nails? Oh, yeah. They were done. Yeah, she had a clue, but I honestly thought she thought it was going to be in Texas anyway. Okay, so you brought up ACMs going there. Again, this is just me asking you because I feel like I can. Yeah, I mean if it's uncomfortable.

Did you get heat for not? thinking her when you won a, because you just proposed and I, did I not think? No, no, no, I just wonder. Did anything? I didn't. I mean, those kind of moments, it's like the proposal. It's like, I don't, I'm not used to that situation. No, I haven't won many awards.

So, I mean, I'm sure I left a lot of people out and. Yeah, yeah, but no heat from her. No, no, like, well, you didn't even, nothing was said. Because I would have. She thought it. She didn't bring that up. She was letting me, I guess, have the moment. We got to enjoy it together.

But now that you bring it up, I'm better apologize. It's just things I wonder because I... Thanks, Bobby. Like, I'm in a time machine like two years ahead of you, you know? Okay, one other question about this thing. RSVP, I never RSVP did anything in my whole life. Like, never, I was like, who cares? RSVP, but when I was having a wedding and people wouldn't, I'll be like,

why aren't people telling me? This is hilarious. I know exactly how you feel. I'm like, I'm not feeling that out. I'm not dressed. That's what I would do. Who cares? Absolutely.

And then when it's you, though, it's a little different. And just to get into that, the invitations and who, you only have so many people and it's just like, I don't like hurting people's feelings and this is going to be an issue probably. And it's just, we're doing a little small thing for the ceremony than having a reception,

but it's already, I don't know, who do you, you can't send out enough invites. I feel like everybody deserves to be there that I know, but it's just tough. And then the people that you pick to come when they don't RSVP, you're like, why did they even pick you there? Yeah, I could have picked.

Yeah, I could pick somebody that would RSP and click the steak or the chicken and now you've got to do both because you won't freaking answer. Okay, that's all. Those are the questions? Absolutely. I've been waiting to ask you about personal.

I love talking about it. Used to make me uncomfortable because I didn't have much to talk about. So now it's, I don't know, I'm just happiest I've ever been. And just, not just career-wise now. There's more to life than the music. And I'm loving it. So I'm going to play forever to me. It's a perfect way to get into that.

So you wrote this book with a couple guys, Grayland James and Rocky Block. It makes sense that this song I played after because of the situation, the excellent, wonderful situation you're in now with your life. But is that why you wrote it? Yeah, I wrote it before the National Championship back in January. We were out there. I had a show the night before, and I was just telling Gator in there,

we're about to go to bed, and they were talking about Courtney, and they were like, we need to, do you have a song like that for her? And I was like, I've written a couple, but nothing, I think, is good enough yet. and they were asking about her and I said she's forever to me and they both looked at each other and just crazy usually I'm the one that catches something like that like that needs to be the song but I was just talking and those sometimes that's how the best uh song starts so we ended up writing it almost was we were almost late to the game and um I told him I didn't care we got to finish it it just was the lyrics were flowing and it just felt felt special so the fact I get to put it out

and you are playing it man it's it's a different feeling when it's you know personal like this now. Cole Swindell. I want to do some Georgia trivia with you. That's your home. It is. Been a while. Yeah, but it's still your home.

Absolutely. My home's Arkansas. You know, I dominate Arkansas trivia. I just want to throw some Georgia at you. Georgia's state nickname. Peach State. Boom. What's he so worried about?

It's embarrassing if I don't know it. I'm going to miss one. Come on. What's the capital of Georgia? Atlanta. Boom. Two for two. Wow.

There's only six. What famous beverage was invented in Atlanta in 1880? Coca-Cola. Absolutely. Hey. Come on. What river forms part of the eastern boundary of Georgia? He's struggling here.

A hoopy. I don't know. I'm sorry. That is a golf club. That was thinking golf. But it is the Savannah River. Savannah, that should have known. That was born in Savannah.

That's terrible. I know. Just send him home. Oh, he's up. Let's go to a hoopy. I feel like river questions are okay to miss. Do you? Yes.

Okay. All right. Two left. Let's see how he does. What's the state tree of Georgia? I don't even know this was a specific tree. I wish it was a pine tree, but it isn't. It's not just an oak.

It's a live oak. Live oak. I would have thought Georgia pine. See? No, that makes sense, but I don't even think I know the state tree of Arkansas. You don't have the same. Dead oak. That's Arkansas.

Why does one tree get to be the tree? And also peaches come from trees, so could it be the peach tree? Oh, wow. I mean, peach tree city? Live oak, also my nickname in college, you know what I mean? I don't. Okay. And finally, if you get this, I will give you $500 right here.

Let's go. He's never going to get it, though. I don't know anybody that would know this unless you're, like, working for the state or, like, in politics. What is Georgia's state motto? Yeah. That would be like... Millions of peaches. Peaches for me.

That would be a good one. Can we change it? You'll know. This is impossible. I don't tell me what it is. There's three words. Wisdom. justice and

blank wisdom, justice, and truth that's a good guess Peaches for all freedom moderation moderation

moderation Who knows? The other sudden death one was what school is located in Athens, Georgia You know that one? What school is located in Athens?

Yeah, it's a tough one. University of Georgia That's a tough I'll say Truett Who's your list of top five people you've never met that are still alive that you'd like to meet?

Cole Swindell is here We're putting them on the spot Tough. You know, I've never met George Strait. Boom. Wow. Well, that's crazy.

That's cool. That's cool. That's cool. I love to. Tigers, one of them. Hikers number two. Yeah.

Have you met Jordan? I have. Just recently. You bet Michael Jordan? Did you play golf for them? I didn't get to play golf thing. I don't have enough money to gamble with him.

But I did. Yeah, I got to hang out with him after a round and at his course at the Grove. Have you been down there? How would I go down there? How would I go down there? You and Cole and Kane, Brown, are the same?

Hey, man, you've been done a tiger sports? How would I, or not Tiger, but Michael's course? What are you talking about? You do more cool stuff than anybody I know. That's all AI, I fake it. Okay, anybody else come to mind? Just give me one more. You haven't met, that would be cool.

I'm trying to, tough. In the sports world specifically, who would you like to meet? You ever met Del Murphy? I've not. I've spoken with him, and he sent me a jersey, but he was one of my heroes, him and Randy Travis growing up. I don't know, two different worlds, but Joe Murphy was. Chipper, I know Chipper.

That's a buddy of yours, right? Yeah, but who else? I don't know, that's tough. I mean, not in the sports world, but Will Ferrell, I'd like to. The Pope? I've never met the Pope. Yeah, exactly. They didn't want to meet me.

Exactly. On the Bobby Bones show now. Coleswindell. You can check call out on the Win the Night Tour and get tickets at Coleswindell.com and starting May 30th in Boston. And it runs in a lot of the cities that are shows in, and you're all over the place. You do a great live show. You know, I think people should go.

There, I said that. Thank you. I want people to know they should go and go to coleswendoll.com to see it. I have a couple more questions for you. Would you rather never have a number one again or the Braves never win a world series again? Ooh. Need my career to keep going, so I'm going to have to... I can't say that either.

Braves got to win a World Series. Okay, good. That's a good answer. That's just what you say because it's really not real. I'm going to the game. Die-hard Braves. Yeah, there you go. So here you are.

It's like, you're like, you're not the kid anymore. We first mentioned you were like the kids. kid. Now you're like a real adult. Like, is your songwriting? Do you feel like it's a little more adult? Like it's not so much just partying up. Yeah, absolutely. No, and I, like I said, I'm just glad that I've had a chance to be around this long to kind of grow up in music with my writing and everything. And I think this phase of life I'm in, I'm getting to, like this next album, you know, I get sent songs. I'm like, that is a huge hit, I feel like, but I can't pull that off anymore. And I don't, it's not me anymore either. So it's just, I think this next album will be more, uh, uh,

When is the next album? I don't even know. This year, I mean, probably, you know, later this year, but I'm excited from obviously three feet tall forever to me. People are like, is this going to be all tear jerkers? I'm like, no, we're going to have some different stuff. But I just think it's, you have to be careful, you know, what you're singing.

I want to believe it. And I want people to, you know, believe what I'm singing and what I'm writing. So I, it's just going to be different. I feel like a little more hopefully mature. And I'm just glad that I, you know, get to kind of tell my story through my songs now. Do you ever have any songs that you wrote and you regret you not recording songs that you wrote? Not just songs that you passed over, but like you wrote them and you're like, ah. I mean, yeah, there's still some that, and I know it probably bothers the writers I wrote them with more than me.

It's like, how do you not record that? And it's just, you know, there's no really reason. It's just maybe I didn't fit at the time. Give me one. You're like, you're so proud of it and you're like, man, I just, I'm going to pass it on. Oh, my gosh. Give me one. I'm trying.

I mean, I can give you a couple that I think are good. Well, tell me. Like, I think the Billy Currington Summer Forever song. Oh, yeah. That was a good one. I think you would have sang that one. It had been really good. Right.

And I mean, obviously that other people have recorded, I think. Roller coaster would have been. That was, but at that point, it was just, I couldn't believe that Luke was recorded. I remember when he heard it. It just, yeah, that would be probably my number one day. I'm sure the writers, they were okay with that. Yeah, no, me and just me and Michael Carter, man. That was, we didn't even know what we were doing.

I don't think Luke could believe it either. But that's a special one. But honestly, I can't say I wish I would record it because those songs that before I got my record deal kind of put my name out there and that ultimately landed me where I am. Ray, if you can give me a little bit of music, we're going to throw Cole under the bus one more game here.

Oh, it's Bobby. A dog got himself into a bit of a mess. So dogs chase animals, an animal comes out. It's in Alabama. Dog goes, I like to catch that raccoon. Animal runs in a cave. Dog runs in a cave. Dog gets stuck in the cave.

Oh, no. So first responders heard that a dog was barking from inside the cave. They get there. They can't call and get them out. So it's getting dark. And they're like, this dog is either trapped in the cave or scared to come out of the cave. So they call the Huntsville Cave Rescue Unit and they're volunteers, but they have expertise

and they had the equipment, and they went down and got the dog and put the middle of the cave. That's amazing that they did that. That poor dog, quite scared to death. I know, but dogs are so stubborn, like, to go into the cave to get the raccoon. Like, once they get their mindset on something, they're like, I'm going to get that raccoon.

But I don't think they know they're not going to be able to get out. Correct. Then they're just like, uh-oh. Yes. Or are they like, uh-oh? Or are they like, this is my new life now? Yeah. I'm just going to sit here in this.

I live here now. Yes. Great story. So Huntsville, Cave Rescue Unit A Plus. Appreciate that. That's from Inspiremore.com. And that is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.
