What movie and all your movie watching could you quote the most of? And maybe you could do every single movie quote, period.

but you could quote the most. And I'll go first. I could probably, and this one doesn't count, but I could probably do grease because I did grease the play. And I was Danny Zucco. But I think I had to learn that because I was in the play,

so I'm going to probably do Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Oh, that's pretty good. Which is a great movie for kids to learn about some of those historical figures too. Yeah. Socrates, Socrates. Socrates. A. Blinken.

B.th oven. Bthep, aka Beethoven. Mr. the kid. Mr. the kid. kid. I'm going to go Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Amy, you. Probably pretty woman.

My wife said that she was over at your house. She said that you guys are making her watch Pretty Woman. Yeah, she hasn't seen it. Oh, is that white? She came home and she had a list of movies. She goes, I'm supposed to watch these movies. She was at Amy's house for like nine hours. Great. But she came back with a list of movies to watch and I think I'm going to have to watch him with her.

Yeah. Oh, good for you. Yeah, no. Our friend Jackie, we were just sitting around. We did lots of different things. But one of the topics that came up with movies. She was like, we had to watch Adventures and Babysitting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She'll like that. There's a lot.

No, I don't know if she will. I even told her, I said to that one, I don't know that she'll like. Really? Jackie was pretty adamant. She would like that one. But yours is pretty woman. Lunchbox. Man, it's either Braveheart or dazed and confused.

I watched those two over and over and over again. So I'm going to go with, I'll probably Braveheart. Do it. You may take our lives, but you'll never take our lives. Freedom. Man, that got me fired up. Where are you going? I'm going to pick a fight.

What you guys can do is you can turn around right now, walk back, and apologize for 100 years of rape, theft, and murder. Oh, boy. If not, all your men will live. If not, oh, my guys, messed up the quote. I don't know. You got that. I think that was wrong.

Mine's easy, bones. Forrest Gump. Yeah. Forrest, I can do so many. Like the other day, even my kids were like, I said like I must have dropped me 14 Dr. Peppers. And they're like, what are you talking about? Forrest Gump when he goes to the White House.

He drank a bunch of Dr. Peppers. Then he had to go, I got to go pee. Hey, Ray, what about you? Yeah, I'm wedding crashers. What do you think Maryland's known for, man? Crab cakes and football. I was first team all state. I can make a rain out here.

And then also, man, we can be pirates from the Caribbean or we can be raiders from Los Angeles? Las Vegas. It's not that. This isn't Halloween. You gotta go in there with your game face on. Do they say Raiders from Las Vegas? No, I made that up. Oh. Well, that's not... I think Raiders to the Lost Ark. Yeah, me too. Then it's Raiders from Las Vegas, but they weren't in Vegas at the time of the movie, so I's had all these...

Anyway. I didn't do any scenes. Go for it. Okay. I have a runner in my panty hose. Or in any panty hose. Anytime panty hose comes up, that's what comes out. Good morning, everybody. We're here.

You guys ready to have a good show? Yeah, man. All right, get to know. All right, the show starts now, Bobby Bone Show. It's time to open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby Mailbag. Yeah.

Hello, Bobby Bones. I was recently called out by another parent at my daughter's school for not volunteering. Apparently, there's talk about how I'm inconsiderate, and I refuse to step up and help out. My job doesn't give me a lot of time. And the little time I do have, I cherish deeply. Recently, my daughter's school has been asking for volunteers for various projects. The reason I always declined is my schedule.

I know I probably should help, but I really can't. And now I'm feeling guilty. Should I sacrifice any personal time that I have to volunteer? I don't want to be one of those parents. Signed. Mom made to feel guilty. Amy? No, you don't need to feel guilty about this.

And you don't need to sacrifice time. if your work schedule doesn't allow it. Did you write that even? I didn't. I didn't. I know. I'm just don't. I can't imagine making someone else feel bad for not volunteering.

You have no idea as someone else's circumstances. And some people, maybe it's a priority for them and they are sacrificing and making time for that as well. That's their choice. I know that it's hard, but I just wouldn't take it personally. Eddie? What happens in these situations is you got these dads, you know, personally. Got these dads that don't do anything. They work from home, whatever.

They got all the time in the world. But other dads, they can't. Like me, can't do that stuff. And yes, this shaming does happen. And those parents should be ashamed of themselves. So you're shaming the shamers. Yes. That's terrible because if I had the chance to volunteer, I would volunteer.

I'd be there all day. Or would you play more golf. That's what I was going to say. Probably both. Okay. You'd carve some volunteer time. Absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So no, don't feel bad about this. That's shame on the parents for making her feel bad. Yeah, let's shame the shamers. Lunchbox? It's called volunteering. Guess what? I don't want to volunteer. You do the volunteer and I'll do the chilling.

Okay? I ain't got time to volunteer. You can tell what kind of school volunteer parents we are. Hey, guess what? I don't want to be part of the PTA. You want to be part of that crap? Be part of the PTA. I didn't sign up for it.

Ain't my business. I ain't my chili. Not my thing. Guess what? You want me to go on a field trip? That sounds fun because it's a free adventure. But I ain't volunteering. You want me to clean up the school?

The whole take a weird twist. Like, if we go on a field trip, well, then I'll go. Wait, what? but that's free. Don't let them shame you. If you like want to make a point to do one thing, like carve out. It's fine. Just you feel like you're doing a little bit more.

But don't let people shame you. You don't care if they say something good about you. So why would you care if they say something bad about you? Right. You don't care about them. They have no effect. Keep being a good mom. It is nice if some people say something kind about you.

Sure. But if they don't, that's okay too. True. It doesn't change really anything day to day if they do or don't. So don't let it when they don't. nobody says nice stuff about me ever oh man no no we say stuff all the time i don't don't buy into it to me yeah don't just let me oh i see what you're doing all right all right that's the mailbag close it up we got your email and we love to close bobby's mailbag yeah it's kind of bizarre i would like

for you guys's feedback on this before i give mine because sometimes i'm a bit irrational especially when it comes to safety. I've had too many instances in my life. Ramundo, tell everybody your little story here. Yeah, what would you guys do? Say it was 7.30 at night, and somebody came and knocked at your door. And it wasn't UPS. It wasn't DoorDash or anything like that.

And you go and open the door and the person says, hey, I'm thinking about moving in to this apartment complex. Would you mind if I look through your apartment? Someone just comes to his door and wants to walk around inside. That's crazy. That's the dumbest thing. there's no chance. There's like four options and three of them are bad.

Rape murder, steal. Oh, yeah. Or look at the apartment. So, I mean, where does Ray, is Ray the first apartment when you go into the building? Great question. Are you high, low, first? What? No, so they would have had to have jumped the gate to get to us.

It is gated. Yeah, but they get in. But what Eddie's saying is when you drive in. Are you the first building? Are you like the first? No. Okay. Is there any reason they would have come to your point?

place specifically? If they were looking for similar to our view or something right next to the clubhouse. But are you the one right next to a clubhouse or whatever that is? Yeah. So like we have access to the elevator so that would kind of make sense. But them not being residents, they wouldn't know that. It's definitely a big ask though. Who answers the door? I answered the door. And what was your initial reaction? The first thing I said was, well, let me grab you my wife because She actually deals with all the rent and everything and she knows the details. So she... Let me get my woman.

Your wife? Let me take my wife and you can have her. What on earth? He went full human shield. You do. She'll deal with it. Okay. So is that what you did?

Yeah. And so my wife comes up and she goes, yeah, sure. Come on in. We'll show you the whole place. Oh. Yeah. And my wife took her from every room to every bathroom to the living room to the kitchen and showed her every square inch of our apartment. It's a girl?

It is a girl. Okay. That's a little different. A little different. Unless she's the bait. Unless she's the... Correct. Like she goes in.

She's the bait. I'm not letting anybody at 7.30 come knock on the door. Can I just please come and look at all your stuff in your house? It's just, it's too much information. They don't need that right then and there. And if they're going to kill somebody, they kill a neighbor. Not me. No, and I'm not getting my wife either being like...

No. That was weird to me. Come make yourself vulnerable. Yeah, after the fact, we were like, we probably shouldn't have done that. That was very unsafe. She seemed like a trustworthy girl. and we thought we were just giving her information about the apartment. I get it.

You're making a judgment based on your first impression of her. It just doesn't feel like generally that should be a good rule. And even more bizarre, her boyfriend was in the car downstairs and she said, yeah, he thinks I'm really weird for doing this, but I was just going to come up here and ask so we could actually see it and not look at the stuff on the internet, the pictures. I mean, that makes sense. The boyfriend's in the car.

Because he's too embarrassed. He doesn't want to do it. Exactly. Right, right. But they don't tell you that. She was very transparent with what's going on here. But killers are always transparent, but just not honest about it. Like get in the van.

I'm your friend. Yeah, right. I don't like it. I don't like it that you got your wife and made her a part of it. She could have been hurt. And it doesn't matter what she looked like, lunchbox. Well, no, no, you feel safer. Like, that's what I'm saying.

Like, you let your guard down if a hottie comes. Because you're thinking, oh, she's so sweet and innocent. She won't do anything. That's not true for hot men. Because it wasn't Ted Bundy hot It's pretty good looking, yeah But men are weird and creep in anyway But that's what I'm saying, you let your guard down

You're more likely to let a hottie in Than an ugly And if the hotty comes in That's when the boyfriend comes in after Like boom The ugly is going to be It's going to be tougher for her to get Amy there's good looking people

And not good looking people The looks are relative What I'm saying is we get it when you say hottie You don't have to say But that's what I'm saying Ray you're more likely to let a hottie in Right? Yeah, I let her anguish

she was a chick, not necessarily because she was hot or unattractive. How hot was she? I mean, I swear, she was like 30 years younger than me. I mean, she may have been late. How old are you? Right? Honestly, I'm 38. Okay, so she's an 8 year old knocked on the door. A second grader said, can I come look at your apartment?

And her boyfriend was in the car outside. That's concerning. I would call the police in, right? Guys, we shouldn't be letting people on our houses at night. No, seven ladies late. Someone once knocked on my door and then I let them in, and then I took them in. and then I took him to the grocery store. Was it a haughty?

Is it a homeless guy? No, it was a woman. It was a homeless woman? It was a woman. I don't... She hot. Looks her relative. I'm just kidding.

I just play along with this stupid game. I know, but I mean everything... Anyway, this thing is spiraled to a whole place we don't want to go. Thank you. Ray, don't do that, okay, buddy? All right, all right. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox.

Stay at home, it's not been good. If you're looking for a free Thanksgiving dinner in Severeville, Tennessee on November 20th, Reverend Brooks Ramsey and his wife, are giving you free food. Anybody that needs food, come and get it. It's absolutely free. They're expecting between

150, 200 people to show up and get free food. I got a feeling. It's going to be a little bigger than that now. Yeah. That's amazing. They used to do it before the pandemic and then the pandemic they had to shut it down

and now they're bringing it back and it's for people in need that maybe you're not going to be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe you're one of those people an elderly that doesn't get out of your home. An elder. One of those people.

An elderly. One of those. Lunchbooks used to deliver meals on wheels to elderly. To those elderly? No, to one of those elderly that couldn't get out of their home, they're homebound, they're shut in. You one of those elderly? Open up.

I got a ham sandwich for you. You know who's from Severeville? Gator? No. Dolly. That's her hometown. Dolly and Gator? Gator here.

I said a Dolly pardon. But November 20, it looks like I'm headed to Severeville. All right, buddy. Oh, boy. Let us know how that goes. Great story. Good job by them. That's what it's all about.

That was Tell Me Something Good. It's a Bobby Bones show interview. In case you didn't know. All right, coming in the studio now is Ronnie Dunn, lead singer of Brooks and Dunn. What do you think the most streamed song is from Brooks and Dunn? Neon Moon. Yeah, Neon Moon, number one. Boone Boone Boogie number two, yeah.

What do you think number three is? Ma Maria. My Maria, yeah. That's four. And number three, red dirt road. There's one more in the top five that you don't have. Neon moon, boot scoot and boogie, red dirt road, my Maria. What's the other one?

Come on in, come on in. Like a hint. I got it. What? Hard working, man. Brand new man. That one. Yeah.

On the Bobby Bone show now. On the Bobby Bones show now. Ronnie Dunn. Yeah, you have to hold your mic. So did you make a lot of money? or did you lose a lot of money? Well, I sold all this stuff. I sold all this stuff for money.

New contract happened. We sold, we pawned everything so they could pay me. I get it. Yeah, how are you doing? I'm tangled up, I'm good. Yeah, tangled up, is that like in the back seat of a truck? Could be. Oh, you mean with the cord?

Well, if I was writing the song, you'd be in the back seat of a truck or something. Yeah. Did you guys, when you were writing songs in like, I don't know, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, whatever, was there as much writing about whiskey? No, it used to be no hard liquor. products. It really? Yeah, no, for real. Wow. That's where like, all the endorsements came in from, for like, you know, beer company. Yeah. You ever get endorsement money from a alcohol company for a song? No. I can't believe they had a no hard liquor policy in songs. Now it's like, you must have

hard liquor in a song or we can't even record it. Well, it switched and you couldn't, I mean, of course, I'm showing my age, which that's fine. I can do it with it. I'm going to have to. What were we talking about? The hard liquor in it. I'm speaking of showing your age. And I can't believe that, because every song now has got whiskey or tequila or something. So it was a firm thing or is it understood? It was just kind of an understood thing. Kind of under the table. A manager might tell you in the office or something.

He said, like, don't be mentioning whiskey. Now it's like you kidding me. Yeah. What do you think I put my coffee to get here? Exactly. When you do this show, you need. But you don't. We can't talk about that because you're Mr. Clean.

I'm Mr. Clean, yes. What about Hoking Up and Songs? Did you guys talk about that at all like they do now? Yeah, but we didn't know what, it had to hook it hadn't come on. into the, like, the urban dictionary yet. Okay, I say tangled up. You know, there's like, tangled up into bagseed or... I love that, tangled up.

Yeah. All tangled up in you. Yeah. Me? No. Oh, okay. Bobby. And, uh...

The album's not out yet, though. No, it'll be a while. And, uh, that's it. So is it a, like a themed album? Yeah. All cowboy? It's all cowboy, but it's no campfire songs. You know, that's kind of stuff.

It's just, you know, every other song is cowboy. Whereas the last record I did, everything was, honky, you know. That's true. That's all neon. That's true. My wife goes,

come on. Surely you can diversify your vocabulary more than that. That is very, that's very much on brand. Like if you did neon,

but if you did neon on the first album, but the whole second album was boot scooting. Yeah, there's that. We'd be like, all right, dude. Right?

Yeah. So back of the day when you do boot scoot or you do a hit song around here, you know, in this town, everybody like starts

pitching you boot scoot or neon moon or something. I got one the other day. It's great. Like, finally, and this is strange, and I know you've noticed it, is we're getting into like mashups now, like hip hop did years ago.

And I got one on a neon moon. It was really cool. What are you in mashups? Like someone featuring for you to sing or that they're sampling you? I'm not sure I understand. Well, listen, I'm here with Ronnie. Sirius is going to answer that question for you.

I just sit on my phone. So they mashed up neon moon with another, like, hip-hop song? Neon Moon is the song that they did Well, I'm calling it a mashup But is it a mashup? So it's using your music But they're singing new words over it Yes

Like Cole Swindale did with Heads Carolina That's it Yeah so what's this one called though Is it still called Neon Moon? It's like blue neon That's it And who sings it? The guy singing the demo

I don't know But it's five writers It dances in it out The melody dances in and out And the lyrics dance in and out I mean, just like, it's really well done. Still country there? Yeah.

Okay. Huh. I know. It's crazy. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care which I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th.

You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

The family court hearings that followed revealed glaring inconsistencies in her story. This began a years-long court battle to prove the truth. You doctored this particular test twice, Ms. Sond's, correct? doctored the test ones. It took an army of internet detectives to crack the case. I wanted people to be able to see what their tax dollars were being used for.

Sunlight's the greatest disinfected. They would uncover a disturbing pattern. Two more men who'd been through the same thing. Greg Gillespie and Michael Marantini. My mind was blown. I'm Stephanie Young. This is Love Trap. Laura, Scottsdale Police. As the season continues, Laura Owens finally faces consequences.

Listen to Love Trapped podcast on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. There's two golden rules that any man should live by.

Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends. either. We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care, so they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed, I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves.

Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Ronnie, do you have any relationship at all, friendship with Dolly? No, I was just meeting her a few times. Really? Yeah. Wow.

I don't. I thought big superstar like you. Me too. You thought that too? Dang. Because I was with her last week or so, and I see her maybe twice a year, right? She kind of stays in Dolly's world. And she'll just appear like a ghost in a room.

You'd be in a dressing room and all of a sudden, she'll just, there she is. But it's like she only has a fax machine. Like you can't text her still. How about that? Yeah. What are you doing? If people want to get a hold of you, what do they do? Just text me.

Yeah, but Ronnie signs his text still. Love Ronnie. I got busted by my daughter for doing that. She goes, hey, I know who you are. Same thing. He signs it, RD. I'm like, you're the name's in my phone. It's a code.

I know how it is. You a big texter? Do you emoji? You do emojis? No. I try not to. I heard you doing an interview a while back, you're talking about how you go like,

if it's really funny, you'll go ha. Or if it's really, really funny, you'll go ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, well, and there's a capitalization part too. Like, if it's just supposed to be funny, I do lowercase, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. If it's a little elevated, but it's not a laugh out loud, I'll do all lowercase, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. If it's funny, I'll do capital, ha, ha, ha, ha.

If it's L-O-L, and I do laugh out loud, I do L-O-L, and then if it really gets me, I'll be like, I just audibly laughed out loud. And then there's that the, the, the, the, the, the, the boffah, ha, ha, ha, I don't touch that. I don't do you. I don't do, I don't know, right. Feels like a villain. I know.

You know, feels like I'm, I'm committing a crime of some sort. Yeah. Are you, so you guys are done, Brooks and done touring for now. Yeah. Yep. We are, we start back in May. Back again. Mm-hmm.

I mean, your shows are so big. Just to, well, you know, who knew? We didn't, we didn't know. We didn't go out and buy a bunch of stuff at first, and then we had to hurry up and What do you mean a bunch of stuff? Well, people started coming at the shows. No, I know, but what kind of stuff do you have to buy that you didn't have? You got to run to Target real quick and go.

You know, like maybe we should have lights? No flights. A lot of lights. I guess we need an extra guitar. Yeah, real lights, fireworks, and get them there. All seriousness, you did not expect the success of the tour to happen. We didn't know. But you never know.

You know, we were all for almost, what, 10 years. But it just seemed like, you know, yesterday, just bang, bang. Is it fun? Yes. It's more fun than ever. Why do you think that is? I don't know. I think we just came up for air, you know, it just turned into, you know, how you have to do stuff every day, all day, all that, and not complaining at all. It's a real job. And we just came up for air on the creative plane, too. You have to be creative and give yourself some room.

That's always a goal for me is to try to be bored because I never give myself space to be bored. And I do my best thinking when I can be bored. Yeah. But I start to get uncomfortable when I'm bored because I'm like, I'm not, there's something I'm not doing. I have to face me, right? walk into a room full of mirrors and go, I got to go, right? Do you still put pressure on yourself? Yeah. Creatively?

Yeah. To do what? To write good songs and get good vocals and that stuff. Entertain, you know, well, whatever that is for me, grab a mic and walk out and sing. But no, all the above. How have you not had to change keys of your song while performing? It feels like you're singing the same key.

It is. Yeah, I do it. I'm not going to give it into that one. I think some of that's just mental for the people. Like they feel that they can't hit the notes they used to hit so they just give up. Yeah, they get a little squeak every now and then. It's like, oh, this is all age-related. Maybe it is, but so far, knock on wood, it's not for me.

Was there ever a dynamic with you in Kicks to where it was like, okay, who's going to sing this part of this song? Was there ever that awkwardness at first? Yeah, big time, for the longest time for like a few, first few years. Who decides that if it's one-v-one? Well, early on, like way early on, when Tim Dubois was running Ariste over there during the day, and we were coming out with the first records or so, Tim, we were talking one day, I think we had those four number ones in a row.

And I talked to Tim, and I said, what are we going to do for like, I said, there's five, five or six singles on this record. And he goes, yeah, and that's back when we weren't worried so much about, you know, you get three songs and you're out. So Tim, Tim said, no. He said, we're going to, the way we're going to settle this is let Kix do every fourth song. And then that went on for a while. And then Kicks was cool.

He goes, no, if he didn't feel like we had that fourth song in there, he'd go, no, you take it and go from there. Or we go to a new record. But we've been able to, I mean, mitigate that stuff along the way. There was one point where, because, you know, Eddie and I are in a wildly successful comedy duo called The Raging Idiots, where I was like, Eddie, you need to sing more. And Eddie's like, nobody wants to hear me sing, even though he's a better singer. He's like, nobody came to sing. He's like, nobody came to hear me sing. I'm like, but you're the better singer.

He's like, but I'm not going to sing because nobody wants to hear me sing. So we had the opposite of that. How funny, that's what you should tell kicks. That's how I finally pulled it off. Like I said, no one wants to come hear you sing kicks. I had a friend that won auction to have a deal at your house where you played music for them the other night. Oh, really? Yeah, I did that.

She won it. It was her. That's an odd feeling. Yeah, and I saw them because I had to go back home to Mount Pine. but he was like, hey, do you want to come over to Ronnie Dunn's house? We just want to auction. We're flying up from Florida to watch them perform. And I was like, I can't.

But then I saw his Instagram story, and it's like you and your barn with people sitting around. Yeah, they've gone in and completely like, they did all the things that I wanted to do before I left. You know, and I kind of looked around and went, you know what? I'm going to spend another fortune redoing this house and this property. So, anyway, I sold it to a great guy. And they've done all the cool redecorating things to it. So that barn is not where you live now? No.

That's where you used to live. Yeah. Is that where he used to put the hot air balloon up? Yeah. You still have that? I was giving him grief about that. Yeah, we do have it. Man, that'd be cool to have a hot air balloon with your name on it and you drive up to the house.

That's what it says. It was huge. I kind of felt like it was naked pulling it in there until like an event because we'd always take it out in the front yard and light it up so people could know where to come. Because you couldn't really see the gate lights and stuff. You got any animals out there? Yeah. All kinds. Do you camera your woods?

I do. What do you see? out there. Everything. Like bobcats. Us too. We put up a bobcats and coyotes. Yeah. Coyotes like mad. Yeah. We had an issue with fox, with some foxes. And so we tried to get somebody to catch the foxes and trap them and then put them back out in different woods.

Like make them somebody else's problem, but not kill them. Yeah, they'll take them like 600 miles away and then two days later they'll show back up. Yeah. So we're like, let's get rid of them, put them in a neighbor's backyard. I don't care. But then coyotes and bobcats started coming and killing the foxes. How about that? And then we were like, let's kill the... Then I don't care as much. I'm like, shoot them.

Shoot the coyotes, mob cats. I don't even care as much. You're in Tennessee. That's loud, right? Do you hunt on your property at all? Very rarely. Very rarely. I have friends, you know, if you have land that even resembles something you can hunt on,

they're your best friends. Do you have a duck hunt? They only do it around hunting season. That's the time you hear from them. Oh, it's like you having a pool. In the summertime, people call like, hey, buddy, you're my friend. You've got a pool. What's that?

If you got a lay, hey, what's up, Ronnie? I've been a fool today. Seen any dears? Right, right. Any deer? Dears? Yeah. That's that scenario.

What you're talking about duck hunting? I go down to Louisiana. A friend has a, he's on an island down there called Little Pecan. It's unbelievable. You're friends with him year round, though? Yeah. Oh, we're only duck season. Yeah, but you can, yes, I am.

Right? It used to be, years ago, we've been doing this for like 16 years. It used to be, well, Hey, I'll call you, don't call me, okay? Because I got all these. He runs like, it's not a commercial place. It's private. He's in the oil business.

But he runs like 360-something people through there a year. Nuts. Do you have any billionaire friends? Uh-huh. Dang, that's cool. You. That ain't true. Two, do you really have any billionaire friends?

Yeah. Dang, that's cool. Who? Right? We were all waiting to see who was going to yell who. Okay, all right. Do you have that extrapolate back there? Do you ever pay for the meal if you're at dinner with a billionaire friend?

Yeah. Yeah, I insist. I'm not going to do, you know, go that. I mean, yeah, nine times out of ten, but I'm bad about that anyway. I feel guilty about it. That's true. Being a dinner with somebody and I pulling my card out. Yeah.

We've had that fight before. Yeah. Yeah. Often I win because I'm younger and stronger. Oh, you win that fight? Every time. Look at us. Who do you think wins physically?

We went to eat in town at some, you can't name the restaurant, can you? People lined up getting his autograph. I'm sitting there going, really? Really? First of all, autograph. First of all, one of,

no autograph. It was pictures. First of all, yes, it was pictures. And it was hilarious because here we are at dinner.

Me, my wife, him, his wife. And we kind of feel like there are like life mentors, Ronnie and his wife because she's also

from Oklahoma. My wife loves her and Ronnie's okay to me. They're both like Sonic junkies. Yes, yeah. And then people are coming up, hey, can I get a picture?

And Ronnie's just sitting there across the table. I don't say anything. But I think it's hilarious. You didn't make Ronnie take the picture, did you? No, I just... I've done it. We should go to Mexico with Reba real quick.

I don't know we're going to get out here. But with Reba and stuff, and hang out, she had a great place down there in Cancun. And get off the plane and people run up to Reba. And I'm standing right there with her. Whatever. I don't think about this, but it's funny to me. And they will hand me to the cameras and take a picture.

And she would look back at me. Fine. She was sensitive to the issue. you and she go with that TV show it really really ramped up my business dog her red hair oh yeah we're still making it feel good you man you're a star man yeah uh Ronnie Dunn and we'll get the new record out early next year Ronnie Dunn everybody here is a voicemail from Skyler asking for an update with Amy here morning

studio I was calling and wondering how Amy's ear is doing after Dr. Lucky worked on it. It's surgery in the studio. Amy ripped her ear out, the earring down. She did it herself and then had emergency surgery and it's great. It's awesome. I still haven't had it repierced yet because I want to be, she said the longer I wait, the better. So I'd rather just be extra careful and cautious so that I don't have to go through this again. But it was a pretty awesome experience because I mean I had that. It's been ripped since I was in seventh grade. Not all the way through that. Not all the way through, but that's when I first ripped it enough to where it just kept ripping and ripping and ripping.

So, gosh, this is about time. I'm thankful. It always hurt? No, it doesn't hurt. No, did it when you would rip it? I mean, yeah, then it got to a point where, like, when it finally ripped all the way through, I didn't even really feel it. I didn't even know my earring had come all the way through

because there was just such little petty piece of skin left. It'd be like a hang nail. You know? I remember when she sewed it together in the studio is rough. Here's Katie and Tampa. Morning studio. I was really curious about you guys. I'd seen you guys on Instagram,

but I wanted to know more. So I went to the old Google and I found lunchbox. It says he is multiracial, 5 feet 5 inches and makes around $450,000. So the site is celebslife real R-E-E-L.com. Just wanted to know how true that is. All right, love the show. Pretty accurate. All right, be back after this.

Hey, dude. Multiracial. I am my multiracial. You are multi. I am multi because I'm bohemian. That's where my grandma's. We're all multiracial then. My grandpa's from Ireland, so I'm Irish.

Okay. I mean, that counts. Yeah, that counts. Thank you very much. But I am not 5-5. They have me mixed up with Ray, and I don't make $400,000-thousand-a-year. Do you make less or more? I wish I made that much.

You know what I'm saying? All right, thank you. Here's Amy's pile of stories. I have a question that Steve Jobs asked himself every day. CEO of Apple. Okay. He's since passed. I'm familiar.

Yeah. But he would look in the mirror in the morning and he would ask himself, if today, for the last day of my life, would I want to do what I'm about to do today? I hate that question. Because if you felt that way, you would never invest in anything, you'd never work hard for, you never have delayed gratification,

which is a big deal with exercise, with saving money, with investing in your family. This steep jobs guy's never going to make it. Wait, but no, I don't think it's that. Okay, I get what you're saying. You can't live by that. If I were dying today,

if I'm going to do my day, no, of course I'm going to work. Yeah. But if you love what you do, are you ever working the day in your life? But that doesn't count in this. I know. I actually saw it as like a good question,

but even towards the goals that you're living out, because obviously you know it's not your final day. You don't need to sit around. No, he just asked him if I was living. Right, that's right. Do you know what I say in the mirror every morning? What? You're so ugly.

Oh. And then you go to work. And then I go to work. Okay, moving on. A poll asked people if we should have intermissions in movies. Yes, any movie over two hours and 30 minutes. If it goes to 31, boom, there's an intermission. How long?

10 minutes. Okay. Not anything crazy. Is that enough time for everybody to file out and then everybody file in? But I guess not everybody would walk out. We can't set our intermation times based on everybody. I mean, that's about how long an NFL halftime is, and there's a lot more people on that stadium.

10 minutes. Okay. Go pee. Come back. Flicker the lights at like one minute and then start the movie up. And if you need to flicker the lights and then show one preview to give everybody a warm up and to get back into the movie. That's cool. In the poll, young adults were more likely to want the intermission than old folks.

Which is weird because old folks have to pee more. But, you know, recent movies like Oppenheimer, three hours long, killers of the flower moon, three hours and 26 minutes long. Yikes. Yeah, I need an intermission during that one. But if it's like, what, hour, hour 30, hour 45, we're good. It goes over 2.30, which is semi long now. Intermission. Which is Oppenheimer.

Can we watch that at home now yet? Good luck. Not yet? A couple weeks. Okay, I'm waiting on that one. Taylor Swift fans don't know how to open a CD case. I got a clip of a mom talking with her daughter who's like, wait. Listen, I don't know what to open a CD case.

And I've opened 10,000 to that. Yeah, those were tough. It's hard. Get to pull that plastic off the top. Yeah, go ahead. What do you mean to you open it? Like, open the, to get the CD? Open, open the case.

How? What do you mean? Open it. How? You guys are going to hear me laugh. Because this is how we listen to the music. How do you get it? The move was to have that little cutter, but I never kept the cutter.

Well, so this is like, like, picture you're getting the plastic open and there's that little button in the middle. When you press that, the CD pops out. I never pushed a button in my life. Oh, no, no, no. I just pull it out. You pull it. rip. And then you wonder, why it's just broken? I hit the plastic

button in the center. Yeah, you must have got the fancy CDs. Does anybody have any CDs that are not opened still in the wrapper? Because that might be worth something one day. You can go buy them right now. Oh. Unopened, not in the wrapper. No, no. But it's not worth anything? Well, I don't know which one it is.

Okay. I got a little... I got DVDs unopened. See, that's worth something. Eventually. Maybe if that's like a first... But like a video game, you can't go and buy the first ever Zelda. unopened. Or an iPod. That's why those are worth so much. Let's buy something right now. No, we've already done this. We have a whole... Oh, boy. No, no, no, no, we're not buying anything else.

This is stupid. Not open it. No. 20 years from now. I'm not going to know you guys in 20 years. What? Would you have said that 20 years ago? Because we still know a tour. Probably, yeah. Okay, I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stores. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie.

Yeah, home it's not been good. A couple weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were hosting the Dallas Cowboys. Terrible memory for me. But in the parking lot before the game, there was Brooke and Bob Rittner. They got married. They had the wedding ceremony in the parking lot as they tailgated. Die-hard fans.

Hey, die-hard Eagles fans. So good for them and they had the reception too. Dang. Dang. So cool. I would have loved to have gotten married a half-time of a Razorby game. Did you propose that at all? On the field or in the parking lot? No, on the field. Instead of the band. Stop.

You rotate the set, like dancing with a star. or Idol, they move it real quick in. Super Bowl? Yeah, Super Bowl. Yeah. And then it's, and we get married. And then, all right, say I do, I do.

Just say, Wu Pig, we'll pig. And then, game back on. Wow. And then everyone there, that's the people at your wedding. They're all my witnesses. That's a cool story. That's important to them. That's such a cool story.

Totally, man. And then the Eagles won for them. So their marriage is obviously going to be good. It's terrible. Thank you. 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 you're saying. Yep, that's me. Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement

My dad gave me the best advice ever. He goes, just give it a shot. But if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be.

Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
