Morning. Let's go with the Monday show. Thank you very much. Our video producer. By the way, all this is Halloween themed. Oh, yeah. So I'm anxious to see what you say here. Up first.

It can be about anything Halloween, by the way. Favorite memory? What's going on today? Favorite candy? I don't give a crap. Let's make it Halloween. Here he is. Our video producer, Eddie.

I got my Halloween costume in yesterday, and I had nothing to do with it. So I was, like, surprised when I got it. But it turns out, guys, I'm going to be a bear tonight. A Papa bear. because my three-year-old decided he wanted to be a bear, so he wants my wife to be a mama bear and me to be a Papa bear. In the style of what bear?

There's Bernstein bears. That's what I was wondering. It's like a full-body bear with a hole for my face. Face or just eyes? My face. My face. Okay. Which, I mean, I guess I'll paint my face like bear.

Okay. You're already a brown, dude. You're a brown bear. That's true. I already look like the bear. But I don't know. I mean, I look forward to getting blood. like, you know, like scary, put a mask on and stuff like that for the kids.

So I was kind of forced into being a bear, and I'm really, I'm not excited about it. How about bear hit my car? I like it. Little blood coming out of your mouth. Why not? Or a hunted bear. So you got a bullet head. No.

That's really graphic. Well, you just said you like scary in blood. No, I get it. What about axe to the bear's head? But that's different than a... Well, I would say the bullet in the head is a little more real. Act is a little more cartoon. You can do that.

Yeah, go with some sort of bloody bear. Okay. So you both are satisfied. Because, yeah, Halloween's about to be, like, scary. And the bear, I don't know. Oh, next. As a kid, caused a lot of trouble on Halloween.

Now he's just tired. All right, here he is. Lunchbox. I look back on Halloween and I'm still mad at myself for, I mean, what is it, 25 years later since I've been trick-or-treating. And there was one house in my neighborhood that every year they gave out a penny

to every single kid that, knocked on the door. And every year I was like, maybe this year it's going to change. And I would still knock on that stupid. Why would they do that? I don't know. As a joke? I don't know. Because it wasn't like this is back in the 1920s during the Great Depression and a penny could get you a shake and a burger. It could literally get you nothing. And literally every year, I still went to that house hoping it was going to change. And every year it was a penny. And I was like, why do I waste my time with this house? And here I am at 41 years old and I still think about that every Halloween and how I wasted valuable time of getting candy at that dumb house.

Well, I guess my counterpoint is you will stop or you will walk even 50 feet if you see a penny on the ground now and pick it up. I know, but when Halloween, that was back before, I mean, Halloween was all about candy. It's back before you're broke. Yes. Free candy. I wasn't worried about money then. Then I was worried about candy, candy, candy, candy. That was your currency.

Yes. And let me tell you, if you see kids walking, they're not real trick-or-treaters. If you're not running door-to-door, you're not taking advantage. advantage of Halloween. Are you like to people to go, that ain't country? Yeah. You're like, that ain't a trick-or-treater. Yeah.

You're just old and washed up now. You're going to see three and four-year-olds and five-year-olds walking slow. Once you get to six years old, you should be sprinting door to door. Up next, she has a 15-year-old who I guess we'll hear later on today what she decided for her Halloween costume because I know that was a bit of controversy. Here she is. Amy, everybody. Okay, so there was a Halloween.

I was probably eight years old and I fell off my bike the day before and got a black eye and a sprained wrist and then I thought, well, what in the world am I going to be for Halloween now? So I went as someone that got beat up. I don't know what I just was thinking about this the other day because I also had a dimple in one of my cheeks and my side of my face and it's from that bike accident where a rock went into my cheek as well. So that's a Halloween memory for me is the day that I got the dimple. The day you got jumped as a Halloween customer. Well, I know. I just had nothing else to go last. And setting me up, here is Christ. from the voicemail.

He's the radio morning show Godfather, the country music shock caller. He's the NBA 2K baller, raised in the mountain holler, six foot one, maybe even taller. He's the singer-songwriter and honorary doctor, the man who needs no proctor. It's bad. You know, sometimes we have to go back and look at our past and wonder, was that the appropriate thing? And so when it comes to Halloween, here's a costume that I once wore that I wonder now if that picture got out if it'd be cancelable. Now, there was no face paint. I didn't do it. But I did go as Michael Jackson. Interesting.

Right. And so I had the full, it was Michael Jackson like, shiny black, like top, long sleeve, one glove, hat that he pulls down over his eyes, black paint. I mean, the whole thing. Okay. But will I someday, well, if this picture's. surfaces be canceled because I went as Michael Jackson on Halloween. And if so, I'm going to make sure not to send that picture to Legacy Box. And I'm going to burn it. But you actually popped up somewhere like, oh, this day, because it's Halloween. Is Michael Jackson a cancelable Halloween costume? Lunchbox. No. Why would it be cancelable? We know why. We know what he's done. Yes, Amy.

No, I think you're okay. Yeah, you're good. Eddie? You're Michael Jackson, the King of Pocker. You're not Michael Jackson the bad dude. Like, you're fine. I think it's okay. But was he ever convicted of anything? So we can't say he was a bad dude. He lost in the civil trial. Because OJ also wasn't convicted of anything.

I'm sure there's people. Do you say OJ's a bad dude? You can't say that. OJ. A little different. Well, yeah. And I think there's some unfair stuff against Michael Jackson. Yes, that's what I...

There's also some really weird stuff about Michael Jackson. Questionable stuff. But then why are we worried about being canceled or not? Because it's stuff. out there. Yeah, because the cancel culture is dumb. Yeah. Okay, just making sure. You're good. You're good. Okay, that's all I wanted to know. Welcome to the show. It's Halloween, obviously. We're glad you're here. Happy Halloween. The Bobby Bones show. It's time for the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah.

Hello, Bobby Bones. I need some help with my life. My boyfriend and I broke up last week. It's been a long time coming. but it still hurts very much. However, my question is, we live together and are a few months into our year-long lease, and I have no idea what I'm going to do. I moved in with my parents' first week, but can't do that. I've been on my own too long to move back in with them. But neither one of us can afford our house on our own,

and we also cannot get out of the lease. Do we live in separate parts of the house? He offered that, but that would only work for a little bit. I just don't know what I'm going to do. What would be your advice? Thank you for making me laugh every single day. I love you all so much. Signed, don't move in without a ring.

Oh. Yeah, that's tough because the first thing you go is you try to get out as fast as you can. But if you simply can't afford it and you're both on the lease, there are some sacrifices that you're going to have to make one way or the other, either financially or personally. So that's difficult. So let's just say they don't have the money. Right?

They just don't. They can't. Because the first thing you do is you post on one of these sites got, we need a roommate to fill half of this. But you have to work together because you can't, you have to decide who's going to stay in the house. And you have to go through the roommate process together to make sure you don't stick them with somebody that's a weirdo. So that's a little bit of teamwork.

You don't want to be a team with this person. You just decide you're not going to be a teammate with this person. But that's option one, is to find a roommate. Option two is you find two people to move into the house or one person to take the whole mortgage and rent the house and pay the whole thing. But that's going to take time. That's 30 days at least. So there's more of living with your parents and having to pay or there's more. The answer to this is there's not going to be an easy solution. It's a hard thing you had to do in breaking up. It's going to be a hard thing you have to do and digging out of this mess.

It can be done. Weaker people have gone through harder things and come out just fine. You can get one roommate with somebody. You can get two roommates or one rich roommate to take over a family, take over the house or you can live in different parts of the house. That's going to be messy because you're going to see each other. They're going to be fights. There may be a random hookup, which will make it messy again. Don't know that. It may be messy for, let's say there's eight months left on the lease. If you start dating other people, then either you have to hide them from the house. Oh, man. It's all kind of gross and weird. So what I would say is you just try to find somebody to lease the house and you stay at your parents for a couple of

weeks or you get back to the house for a couple weeks, and they can try to find somebody to take that bill and you cover that lease with somebody sub-leasing it from you. You know, we had family friends. They got divorced and they lived in the same house for like 20 more years. I don't think they're around anymore. And good for them. I don't know how they did that. Because of the kids? It's possible. No, every day, all the kids were out of the house. It was just them too and they lived together, but divorced. Probably with an understanding and probably spent a whole lot of time together over many, many years to know how to get to that understanding. This is a boyfriend, girlfriend. Yeah, fairly new.

So a lot more raw and immature probably. Not a bad way, just young. So I'm going to go, those are your options, but I think the best option is to try to get somebody to take over the whole lease and everybody move out. Yeah, and I would be thankful that you have parents that are willing to take you back in and know that that's temporary. I know you're like, I've been out on my own for too long to go back to my parents,

but look at that as a temporary thing just to get you through this and know that it's not forever. And how cool that you have parents that you can go stay with them if you need to. How cool that you have parents. parents. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Not to be Debbie Downer, but yeah, Bobby and I don't have parents. I'd have parents ever. Who moved back in with their parents ever? I did. I did. I did. I didn't go back. I stayed with him for a while. Oh, that's what I did. But when I left, I left. Oh, look at you four. Yeah. Good for you guys. Eddie's just rewarding it. No, no, I never went back to live with my parents.

But how long did you stay with him? Oh, like four more years after I graduated. Okay. Like 22? Yeah. Oh, boy. I don't know what's worse. Moving back or never leaving? Like, because when you're 18, that's the first thing you want to do. I think never leaving is worse.

I do too. Because at least when you move out, you're like, I'm going to tackle. Because it's always okay to go tackle and miss. Yeah. And reload. That's great. I agree. But never.

To even try to tackle? Mm-hmm. I was trying to tackle. I was trying to. Boo-boo, you okay. I'm good. Once I left, that was gone. Okay.

Well, yeah. Yeah, because you're a 50, dude. Hey, come on. Not that old. That's what we say. Good luck with that. It's a tough situation. It's going to be tough regardless.

There is no easy answer. But try to find somebody to take over the whole lease. And if you need to go live with your parents for a little bit, while you do it, go do it. Okay, that's it. That's it. We've got your email and we've read it on your air. Now it's time to close Bobby's mail bag. Yeah.

The Bobby Bones show. This guy woke up and he had a $39,000 Uber charge. You thought you're. Water bill was bad. Yeah. How does that happen? The Uber Rye, he'd taken home, cost $39,000. Usually it was $12, but now it's a mess up in the system.

And so it accidentally charged him $39,000. But for a minute there, you probably freak out. Yeah. And go, I'm never getting this money back. How am I getting this money back? I don't think my credit card would let that go through. Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot.

I get a fraud for like $11 bucks at the Atlanta airport. Right, exactly. Like somebody's buying cash shoes in the Atlanta airport. Like, yeah, that's me. This guy got $39,000 through. That's crazy. Hey, Morgan, what happened to you at Walmart? Well, I was just minding my business doing some grocery shopping,

and I see a guy kind of running through an aisle, and he has an air fryer in a grocery cart, and then he just runs out the front door, just gone. He stole the air fryer. Yeah, and all the alarms start beeping going off, but nobody ran after him. Was he rolling the cart? Yeah, he was rolling a cart.

It had an air fryer. I don't know why he didn't just carry it, but he had a grocery cart, and he had the air friar. in it. And he literally just straight up, like, ran out the door with it. Did they yell? They didn't run after him, obviously. Not a single person ran after him. I saw, like, the greeter kind of take down some notes. That was it. And then I see him get in his car and he just drove away. Did he have any sort of disguise on? No. He pulled low. He was in all black, but he didn't have anything on his face. That's what they do. Somebody comes in looking like a cat burglar. You're like, I got a

feeling this guy's going to steal something. But he just ran out, nothing. The alarms go off. The alarms went off and everything. That's why I was like, oh, maybe he was just like, in a hurry. No, he definitely stole because he just kept going. I want to say this first. I get it. Air fryers are awesome. They're the best. They're the best. Who knew I could even make stuff? And so I do. You can put peaches in there. You can do salmon. You literally just go open it, a little lid, lay it in there, put some parchment paper down. Shut it. Done. You can put anything in there.

Anything. You can cook it all. I probably still won. I don't understand what it is. It just cooks it using air, hot air. Remember the George Foreman grill how that revolutionized cook? For an idiot. This is what the air fryer does now. I need to get one of those. Yes. You can make anything. It's crazy.

It's faster. We do peaches. We grow peaches. You do the peaches and we cut them up and you do a little drizzle on them. Put a little almond on them. You got a pretty healthy snack. It's amazing. But we shouldn't steal, right, guys?

No. And you know why you put it in the cart, though, Morgan? That way if anybody gets in his way, he can ram them. Really? It's a lot easier to, boom. How do you know that? I've worked in the industry, guys. The industry?

He was a cart guy. Listen, there was a guy that three times at my Sam's Club came in, put a big screen TV on a flatbed, and went out to back door. Like an emergency exit and had someone waiting right there. Three times? After time two, they didn't have someone going. All right, Jonathan's here again. No, third time they caught him.

Try to come back. I got them. Did you work loss prevention? No, I did not, but I've seen people get tackled. I've chased a couple thefts before. You didn't work loss prevention. I know, but it was just this one couple. came in. They opened the laundry detergent. We're sticking things inside the laundry detergent and trying to just walk out

and I chased them all the way through the parking lot through the Hooters parking lot. Burlington Coat factory up into the woods and Joel got stung by two bees when we were chasing them. Classic Joel, I'm right? And we got in trouble for chasing them. You getting fired? No. But they were like, what are you thinking? But were they like, but really they were like, thank you.

No, they were like, you could have got shot. And I was like, well, Joel, that's Joe's idea. Was it scary to you? Yeah, well, I kind of looked around to see if anybody was going to do anything about it and everybody then just went about their business like it was totally normal. Probably is kind of normal. Yeah. Happens a lot. Two things I want to say. One, air fryers are awesome. I get it. But two, don't steal, right guys? Yeah, don't steal. Yeah, don't steal. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. There's a 12-year-old kid named Arsh Powell. He is from Iowa and he is using his artwork to raise

awareness and money for St. Jude. He started painting four years ago. He set a goal to use his art to raise $1,000 for the hospital. He blew way past that. He's now raised over $15,000 for St. Jude. Earlier this year, he was recognized, and here's Ars talking about selling his paintings for a good cause. Originally, my first goal was raising $1,000 for St. Jude Research Hospital, and everybody kind of doubted me because I was so young. But when I did raise $1,000, everybody was surprised. Yeah, good for this kid. Cool. I tell you, I think back about some of the dumb things I've asked of really cool people.

And he was so nice to do it. But we were way early on in our show here. And I was like, let's just see what we can get away with. And I asked Keith Urban. I said, hey, will you do a painting? And we auctioned off for St. Jude? Just go to your house and paint something. Like a detailed painting.

And he did. He was so nice to do it. Amazing. And then we auctioned it off. And it made, I don't even remember. But I remember thinking, oh, that's cool. But now I look back going, I mean, I ask Keith Roman to go home, buy paint, buy supplies. said at a canvas, paint, he did, then we auctioned it off.

Yeah, what were you thinking? What was I thinking? And what a good dude, Keith Urban is? To do it. There's a few of those. I look back and go, I'm just embarrassed by the crazy things that I did and asked of people way early on. But Keith Urban is the best.

Arsh, pal, you're the best. And all of you listeners that are partners in hope with us, you're the best. We'll do it again coming up in December so you can renew or be a partner in hope for the first time. But we love St. Jude on this show. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Happy Halloween. The Bobby Bones Show. Let's go over to the phones and talk to Matt, who lives in North Carolina. Hey, Matt, welcome to the show. What's going on, buddy? Hey, so I just wanted to get your guys' opinion on something if I'm being ridiculous or not. So me and my wife have been together about five years, married two, and her email still has her ex-husband's last name in it,

and I keep trying to get her to change it. And she's not 100% against it, but she keeps saying it's going to be a pain to change it. so she's not in a hurry and feel like she keeps pushing it off. Am I being ridiculous or keep pushing her to do it or does I just stop? Yeah, I'd probably be pushing her to do it too. And I think this is one of those that you take for the team if you're her. And she could think it's not that big of a deal. But if it means that much to you, I think she owes it to you to change it.

And yes, it's a pain in the butt. You can also do things like email forwarding so people that email that address can go to the new email. So I do not think you're ridiculous. And yeah, it'll be a little problem. You gotta go change all the stuff. I got to change the Netflix. Got to change all that's da-da-da. But I think if it's her ex-husband's last name,

and then that's bothering you, you have to change it. I think you have to change it. Eddie, what do you think? Yeah, you got to get rid of that name. I mean, especially if it makes him feel bad. Like, that's, yeah, don't even mess with it. Hey, look, it's tough to get your car registration. It's a lot of work.

New driver's license, but we got to do it. So, yes, get rid of that name. Change your name when you get married. That's tough. I heard how annoying that was for my wife. She's like, dang, this is a lot harder than you thought it would be. But you know what? You got to do it.

So I'm on your team, Matt. Lunchbox, what you think? Oh, got to change it. Listen, man. And she says, oh, it's going to be difficult. You know what else is difficult? Giving her gas money. Sorry, honey, it's just going to take a little while.

How do you know she doesn't have a job? I'm just saying. Usually the guy brings on the bacon. Oh, you know, honey, you know, you want dinner? Sorry, it's going to take a while, honey. I don't know if I'm going to be able to feed you tonight. So, you know, there's things that take a while. she needs to change it or she can go sleep out in the car.

Oh my gosh. What? Boy, lunchbox is my heart three different places that I do not agree with. Or she can go sleep at that ex-husbands. If you want that last name, hey, go over there. There you go. Now, that I think's funny. But at the whole, I'm not going to feed you.

I'm not going to give you gas money. We don't even know if she needs him to give her. Hey, Matt, does your wife have a job? Yes, she does. Yeah, of course. Of course she does. Okay. Amy, last one.

Do you agree with us? Yes, but I would say it's okay. it's daunting. You're going through a lot. And for her, she's like, okay, it's an email. But I like Bobby's idea of maybe creating a new one and just forwarding it. So it's really not that big of a deal. I change phones. I'm still a Bobby two phones occasionally.

And you know what was tough? Moving everybody over from that phone to that phone. A lot of work. And every once in a while, I check that phone number one. And I see a message. And, you know, maybe I move over my new life. Maybe I don't. But it was tough, but I did it.

So, yes, Matt, we are all on your team. We think be gentle, be nice about it. Even say, hey, is there any chance you could do it by, you know, by the end of the year? By New Year's Day. That way, you're not pushing her to do it right now, but just let her know it makes you feel uncomfortable. Or I might have to take lunchboxes up groucher, kind of like that way. Oh, my gosh. See, this is what happens.

Now she's sleeping in the car. It's a whole thing. Doesn't have gas. All right, Matt, you're not ridiculous. Thank you for the call. Have that conversation with her, okay? I appreciate it. Thanks, guys. See you, buddy.

There he is, Matt, in North Carolina. Probably something the wife doesn't think about until he says something, and then probably doesn't think it cuts him as much as it probably does. The Bobby Bones show. Happy Halloween. You guys are going to pick up their daughter from school?

They got to her, and they're like, no, I'm her dad. No, I'm her dad. No. Excuse me? How do you think that happened, Lashbox? Just played out in your head. Two dudes show up at school. Two men came to, yes, pick up a girl, five-year-old girl, and they're like, hey, that's my daughter. Oh, my gosh.

So it had to be a scamming woman telling two different dudes that they had a daughter. That's it. That's really good. That's it. The girl's mom had told both men they were the dad, but her trick was exposed when a former friend sent both men to pick up the girl, the friend, which led to a violent attack by one of the dads against the lying mom. Oh, that's not good. being told that you're someone's dad and you're not. Or someone else, and you find out,

she's telling somebody else that they're the dad of your kid. Both of those. Bizarre. Bizarre situations. The men had both been listed as the young girl's emergency contact, and they arrived at the school at the same time, take the kid home. They both looked at each other and the dad was like, why are you checking my child out?

Who are you? He was like, who are you? What do you mean? I'm her dad. I'm checking her child out. This girl's ever got two dads. I had none. Poor girl.

That's what you think. I'm getting jealous of her. I'm like, man, some people have all of them. So who gets to take her? The real dad. But who's the real dad? So the school principal, they called the mom to come up to the school and be like, hey, what's up? So when the mom got to the school, one of the men ran to the parking lot, started yelling at her about the other man and going, you need to explain what's going on here.

Then he hit her. The police arrived on the scene. One of the men was arrested. The other was taken by EMS. I mean, this is like an episode of cops from back in the day. Oh, my goodness. So she knew who the real dad was? All this time, the baby is five.

the mom's been telling both of these men that they were the dad and they never knew, they never ran at each other, and they didn't say who the real dad was, even in the story.

And I'm sure a lot of parents are dealing with their kids having all this candy and you maybe try to limit it.

I don't understand the question. Should if your kid goes and gets candy, they just be able to go crazy? Yes. No, I don't think a kid should ever just be able to go crazy straight up for just universally. I think if you have a kid that you often allow to have a lot. I think it's kid by kid, right? Yeah, I mean, I think you have to know your kids. But a parenting expert is saying that don't put too high of a restriction on the candy because then they'll start to value it more.

So if you limit it and be like, then they'll be like, oh, I want the candy more. This candy must be so important. I hear you though. I had no limits. No limits. I was a no limit soldier when it came to candy. I ate it all the time. And look at me now, same as an adult.

I just want it all the time. Nothing changed. Non-stop. Yeah. Yeah, maybe you give them like a time limit. All right, we're home for 20 minutes. You can have all the candy you want. Ooh, that's good.

Well, yeah. And she recommends just relax and remember that they may eat a lot of sweets on Halloween or the days after. But it's not how they always eat. So just... Unless you're me. Embrace the season. I always eat like that. All right, what else?

Well, speaking of Halloween, maybe after today, you're going to be done with your pumpkins, especially the ones that you carved or whatever. We have rotten ones outside. Oh, man. Okay. So before they either get rotten or maybe the pigs can even eat the rotten ones.

The pigs? Yeah. What pigs? You can donate your leftover pumpkins to help feed the pigs. You should have said that before the pigs can eat them. She just randomly comes out. Oh, the pigs can eat them. What pigs?

There's forms all over America that would glad. sadly take your pumpkins and it can really help them out. You can Google pig farms in your area and then you can find out where you can go drop them off. In Kentucky, they got a website called Pumpkins for Pigs.com. So maybe every state has something like that. I don't know. I just thought it was a cool way to, you know, give back to the pigs. They need giving back.

I feel like there should be in the arms of an angel. All pigs. This pig could use your pumpkin. For the price of one Halloween pumpkin, you two, can feed a picture. Yeah. Right, Amy, what else? Reddit users have proclaimed that

Dolly Parton is the best thing about America. She's a national treasurer. She's pretty much the best thing we got going for us. Okay, I'm not going to argue that. What's the best thing about America? Freedom. Well, let's not be actual literal. Like our founding father's freedom.

Yeah, yeah. But like something like Dolly Parton, like something that's fun. Yeah. Because freedom, lunchbox, I agree with that. Okay. Oh, football. Okay, American football. American football. Amy? I can leave that one. Well, Tom Hanks.

That's great. Right, you, because you just sat down with Rita Wilson. It makes me think of them, them as a couple. Okay, Tom Hanks. Lunchbox, what do you have? The challenge and Survivor, but they have those countries now, huh? NTV. Yeah, but it can be rooted in America.

Yeah, those are rooted. They started here. I think. I think Survivor started here, I hope. I'm going to go with New York Cheesecake. That's American. That's good. Yeah. Can't get enough. I'd have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

I mean, I know it's global now, but. Razorbacks. Yeah, that's American. I'm sorry. All right, Amy, is that it? Yeah, but maybe that's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With Amy. Earlier this month, a great grandmother named Miss Fay. She's 76 years old, lives in Oakland, California, and she saw a car kind of rolling down the street, kind of creeping a little bit. And then all of a sudden a man jumped out and attacked her elderly neighbor trying to steal her bag. So Miss Fay ran towards the car with her cane over her. her head and started beating the man and was calling for her German shepherd Troy to come and help her. Then she took a swing at the car even as he was like hopping in trying to get away because he's like, well, shoot, I didn't know this is going to happen to me.

And I mean, the whole thing was caught on someone's doorbell cam. So the footage is amazing. And then Miss Fay just wants to encourage everyone to watch out for their neighbors. Well, just try to be neighborly help watch out for your neighbors and watch out for the surroundings, even for your personal self. because so many things It's been happening lately Good for Miss Faye

Although she's 80 Luckily Miss Faye didn't get laid out It didn't stop her though No I know I'm just saying But she could have broke a hip It also sounds like that guy was like I'm not gonna hit

He's just gonna steal a purse Not hit a lady It's like someone who was still a car But there's a baby I'm like well I'm out I'll jump out of the car So I don't I have a lot of confused emotions here

One Miss Faye I like Good for her Awesome But I would just say Don't do that again Miss Faye Because most times that ain't going to turn out good for you. But I like it, she saved the lady's purse.

And in that criminal, no doubt he could have beat up, Miss Faye. But he didn't. So good for him? Yeah, I like that he has limits. You know, maybe, yeah, maybe he has limits. It's always good to know. He's got a heart somewhere in there. Yeah, I love a good criminal with a heart.

And in the end, good was done. Miss Faye, good by you. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Bobby Bones. Happy Halloween.
