Morning. Well, Cole Swindell is going to be in on like 50. So since we have a big star coming in, we're going to go ahead and do the mailbag right now. So open up the mailbag, right? You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones.

My two best friends and are going to Europe on the couple's trip of a lifetime. It's happening at the end of summer. Our friend, let's call her Julie, has been single for quite some time, but just recently began dating this guy. now she wants to change her ticket and bring him along. And it being a couple's trip, we honestly don't know what to say to her. We hate the guy.

He's got a terrible sense of humor. It's narcissistic. Worst of all, every red flag in the book points to her being the other woman. She's considering or at least talking about marrying this guy. And we don't know how to tell Julie she's making the biggest mistake of her life and we don't want him to run our vacation. Every time we try tactfully to mention this, that maybe she shouldn't change her ticket

she blows up and thinks we aren't supporting her please help how do I keep my friends and also not ruin my first trip out of America that I've been planning for years signed memes it's interesting I guess it's a couple strip it sounds like there are two couples and one spare does that sound like to you guys what's happening

okay I think you have to let him come I know you yes you have to either let him come and let her experience it and you'll either A, you'll understand why he's actually a good guy and you've had these thoughts and you're wrong. Could go that way.

Or you're really right and this could prove that. But it's just tough to go, you can't bring along somebody that you care about on a trip that you're paying for yourself coming along with us. It's a dicey situation. It's not comfortable, but you just can't say

if you were paying for her trip would be different. Absolutely. She is a grown-a-adult. And she's paying for a trip and she's coming along. You have got to be a friend. And sometimes, I know. I know.

Just the part that sticks out to me is like, I don't want this to ruin my trip. And sometimes this friend you maybe have to set, it's okay to set a boundary and not want to ruin your trip and be like, hey, you don't have to hang out with them the whole time. I'd love for you to come, but. It's literally a couple's trip.

It was said that, right? And now that she has a couple, you have to embrace your friend's couple. Yeah. Okay. And possibly. this could be the thing that allows you to accept and understand him. It may not be.

It may be the opposite too. But be open to that. It's just unfortunate. It's happening at a time where you're really looking forward to this experience. Okay. I'm not saying this is easy, but I'm saying as a good friend, this is the opportunity to be that good friend. Welcome and then discover after that. You brought me to your side.

Oh, I don't want you to do that, but just what I would do. You're like, no. Just a little, me. That's always your plan. to bring people to your side. But I think that now that he's going, because if the listener allows him to go, then you be welcoming.

Don't be like, oh, I hope this trip she finally learns all the red flags and that he's awful. Go into it with positivity. And then don't get too attached to the situation where you think it's your responsibility to make sure she knows how bad he is. Like, that is her decision, her problem. And don't let it ruin your trip.

Yes, they will be with you, but you can go do things without. Both couples if you want. Be on a high vibe. Okay, thank you, Amy. All right, thank you for that email. If you want to email us and you want to send us a question about anything, you can. Morgan, what do they do?

Good to see you all, man. Congrats on the new album. Thank you so much. Been a while. I'm going to play a little something and talk about it specifically in a second. I do have a gift for you. Really? Yes.

Okay. It's a long-standing tradition here on this show. Nuh. This is the shirt. That's yours. This is the shirt. We know we're passing it back and forth. Okay, I like that.

Every time Cole, I told him, every time he comes in. we passed the Crook and Chase shirt back and forth. That's great. This is one of my favorite retro shirts that you gave me. And I loved it so much. I'm now returning it to you. Well, thank you. And the next time you come in in a few months,

you bring it back and we'll get our wares. All right, there we go. A gift for Colesland now. Thank you. Love it. A gift that he gave me. Nothing says friendship like that. Everything good?

That's good, man, yeah. The new records out, it's called stereotype. And I was thinking about, you know, why people name records. And, you know, a lot of times it's, after a song that they feel mean something on the record. And sometimes it's also a subtle way of going, hey, this is me. So what do you think the stereotype is about you that isn't true?

Man, that's a tough question. I wish I knew that answer. But I think for me, it's probably just how my career started. I think a lot of people, you know, I moved to town. And it's been said many times I know I sold T-shirts and did what I had to do. But I just wanted to be around the music. And I wanted to be a songwriter first. And I just think that everybody's always going to look at it as overnight success.

But there was a lot of years where I wrote a lot of crappy songs and a lot of, you know, it was just tough and not knowing if I was going to make it. And I think, you know, you come out with a fun first song and then people think that's all you are. Like chilling it comes out. People are like, he must see the chilling at fun guy. Exactly. And I think that's my, what the point I'm trying to make is just maybe at some point. But those kind of songs have allowed me to release songs like you should be here,

break up in the end, the other side of things I get to sing about too. I just feel like a lot of artists are just people in general are stereotyping. I just think that it was a, I love the title. I love that song, but also I think it had a little deeper meaning for me too. So I want them to know that there's a song for everybody on this album, I hope. You know, I made a pact with you, I think three appearances ago where I said I would never bring up the T-shirt thing again. And nor am I now. That don't, yeah.

Because I knew that would irritate me that every interview I went into, they were like, hey, I'm not going to say it again right now. That's fine. Let's move on. And so, what do you think? Stereotype me. Let's do that. What do you think? Oh, boy. It's trouble. You can give a stereotype you think people have that you know is or isn't true. Let me give me a little something here. Stereotype me in any way whatsoever. It can be my boyish good looks. You think that it can, go ahead. Yeah, I mean, I think you're a pretty big deal. And I don't know people that don't know you that what a good deed you are. And to me, I mean, you've been, y'all supported me from day one. So I don't really, I mean, I know you're. I know you're. a big Arkansas. I was terrible.

You know I'm not good at that. That's not even fair. Cole Swindella's here. He's got a whole new album. I actually want to play one of the songs full right now if you don't mind. Which you shouldn't because I'm going to really promote the heck of this. Thank you, yeah. I want to play She Had Me at Heads Carolina. And when I

listened to it, obviously I was struck by it because one is a super catchy song and two Heads Carolina. You definitely hear that in the song. Absolutely. Tell me about why you picked it, like what the situation was with this in general. Yeah, and that's the, you know, the first thing when I talk about this song, I want people to know how much I love the original song, and Joe D. Messino, not just that

song, all of her stuff, you know. But, you know, I think when we picked that one, my first thing was we got to reach out to the songwriters, Tim Nichols, Mark Sanders. I wanted them to know what our idea was. And me and Thomas Redd had talked about this last year on tour. Like, what if we took a 90's country song and just kind of put a spin on it? But obviously we've got to get all the okays and the blessings from the original folks. And so that was our first step was knowing the songwriters, we had their blessing. They were excited about it that we had picked that one.

Because I think out of a lot of 90s country songs we love, I don't think anybody would have thought we'd have done that one. And to do a song that I feel like so many people have probably got up in karaoke and sang and just put a spin on it about just falling for a girl that got up and was singing some J.D. Messina is a little different angle. But I'm just glad us out there for me. the few people that have heard it of,

that's just the one they go to, because it takes you back. I think it does, from the very first note, it is that guitar lick, it is the song, but I reached out to Joe D and just let her know

what a fan I was and how much I appreciated the original, and if she ever wants to be a part of it in any way, that I certainly want her to be, so from his new album stereotype, which is out now, and here's the writing credits on this.

It is like an all-star team. It's Cole, Ashley Goreley, who has, I think, more number ones than anybody else in the history of country music, Jesse Frazier, Thomas Rett, and then the two original songwriters. That's pretty cool, man.

And just thinking about you as a kid, I didn't know you were such a good football player until I guess I'd seen you post some throwback pictures. How good of a ball player were you?

Because you were an award-winning football player. I mean, yeah, I was All-State, but I also graduated with 23 people. But fair enough, I graduate with the same amount, right? You're still got to be really good to be All-States. Right, yeah, no, I mean, that's all I did growing up playing sports. I always love music, but I was just always on a ball field. And after one sport ended, it was the next. You know, baseball was my first love, basketball, then football came probably in high school.

And it's just, I'm thankful, though, because when I got to college and a lot of the friends I made, they were Allstate, but in, like, huge public schools. And it's just, man, I better not talk about my high school career too much. But it's, I just, I wouldn't have changed that because I got to experience everything. I played every sport I could play. And I think it, you know, you learn a lot through that, the winning, the losing. And it's, you know, I'm just glad I ended up in music. What was the name, or what was, you say class, 25 kids? Because I was single A.

Yeah, we were G-I-S-A, double A. When I was there, but that goes up and down. It's going down to single-A since I left and been up to AAA, so it's just, I think that kind of changes. With 25 kids, roughly in your class, where did you kind of fall when you graduated in? Like, where were you in the rank? Right around passing. That's what, I just, I don't know, school was never much.

10, 12? I mean, I don't even know where I was. know I got out of there and got to Georgia Southern, but it honestly, I don't know, I was kind of a procrastinator where I would wait to have to ace the finals to get through, and I could do that, so it's a shame that I didn't probably apply myself better, but I was all about sports back then, and, you know, while I left Georgia Southern's to get in the music, I knew I just, school just wasn't, wasn't for me. Did you study music at Georgia Southern? Did you go to Georgia Southern Southern and start doing music? No, that's what, that's kind of where I fell and started playing the

bars there and just really love him being on stage, but I was a marketing major. And, you know, I still think some of the things, I don't remember a whole lot of what I learned, but I just, I feel like those kind of classes, the business stuff, there's the business side of this. And, you know, I'd like to think I learned a few things there, but I did learn a lot just playing shows. And that's where I found out what I really love to do and wanted to be a songwriter by the time I left Georgia Southern. I do want to play stereotype, a little clip to the first song, and then I have a reason to play it. But the album is named stereotype. Here is track one. from Cole's album.

So that was written with Jordan Schmidt, Michael Hardy, who's Hardy. Yep. And you. And I wanted to bring that up because I was talking to Hardy a couple of days ago. Yeah, so he was in here.

And I was talking to him, we were texting back and forth because he was listening to the show and they had this segment where Lunchbox has this haunted doll. He's out of his house for a week. And he is like, he believes he was haunted at one point.

And he believes they had to do some sage and get all these spirits away from him. So I ask you, do you believe that things can be haunted? Wow. I mean, I haven't had an experience like that, so I'm not saying it can't. You ever seen a ghost? No, I have it, but that's something.

You believe in aliens? I just kind of have to, unless we're talking about faith or so, I just kind of have to see it to believe it. Bigfoot? I mean, come on. I don't know. I mean, I just, what do y'all think? You think things are haunted.

I mean, obviously you think things are haunted. We talk about this for hours and hours a day, right? It's rare that we get in freaking Cole Swindell and we get his opinions on things. Well, I don't want to get things to start haunting me because I don't believe it's real. I don't believe it's real, but I don't want to mess with it. Right. I don't either. No, I certainly would not want to do that.

And ghosts, I mean, I think they're interesting. I love, you know, stuff like that on TV. You've never seen a ghost. No, I've never, not that I know of, no. What about angels? I do believe in that. Okay. So there is a ghost.

So there is a spirit. I do. I really do think. That's what I'm saying. There's things that happen in life that I think that, you know, I'm just glad I do believe in that because it's, I just, there's no explanation. I mean, just moments in life, I think I saw you said something about a year after your dad. I think you said that something happened to you rather. A bird. She believes her parents are birds now.

Well, I just. No, my dad used a blue jay to say hi to me. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. And some people may be like, come on, but what's the fun in that? You know, it's just like for me, but when you go through that, I think you look for little things like that and it almost like they're just you might not ever pay attention to but it's like they're everywhere and if you don't take that and try to just know that hey um you know i think they're there saying hey i sure would want to send somebody a sign if i left too soon so i um i do

i do believe in that sir i love the romantic idea of that but i would like to tell another amy's story just so you can kind of put it all in a box um she was walking down the street there was a guy doing like a billboard sign putting letters up like for example you know Wendy's has hey come by the the burger 99 cents yeah so she was under a guy doing a guy doing a little bit of the business yeah so she was under a guy doing that and the letters in O fell and she's like that just told me not to do something to my life and she based her whole life decision. I had just been contemplating it and the letters in and O. I mean how do you not? Yeah, I'm more on that side of things. It's just hard not to like, man, maybe that's a sign and maybe I overthink things, but that's a real deal. Super successful

Cole Swindell's on my side. There you go. Well, and he's not on mine. And how do I feel about that? And Cole, we should address the fact. Do you even, you seem to know a lot about the show if you follow along. But do you know that every time that there's a celebrity scam online, Bobby mentioned your name? Oh, I don't doubt it. Can we do something about that? Right. And that's what I say.

Cole Swindell is not messaging you asking for gift cards or money. Oh, and I'm not dating. I mean, my girlfriend gets messages just hate me. I'm like, do they really think they're talking to me? That's scary. I mean, it's sad. And I just, I wish we could figure out something to do about that because it really does feel like I have more than anybody.

And I'm like, why? Is it because I try to reach out to people and, like, They think that they're going to believe it's me or what? Well, you do ask a lot of fans for gift cards, so they think when a fake one does that. Yeah, I mean, that's something I'm trying to get out of. You do have an ignorant amount of people that fake as you, and it's often my reference. Like, Coleswindale is not messaging you. Well, thank you for taking up for me.

It's just because you certainly don't want people getting fooled like that. Okay, so wait, there's people being Cole Swindell in quotes asking for gift cards, but there's also people being you dating other people? Not dating. No, I'm just saying people that think. think they've been dating me and like just telling me the for Courtney to back off just hateful stuff yeah yeah same thing we do with that too and i wanted that you know we don't have to talk about now that's what i just want you to know like what you do about that stuff because it's not that's one of the reasons i think i've been private about things when i'm dating people because it's just

i know how hateful people can be and i know y'all deal with the same thing so for me i just don't know what you do other i feel like it's kind of stopped a little bit now that people think it's not all a scam that I'm dating somebody else. I don't know. It's rough at first. It was rough for us at first because she was, my wife entered into a world that she didn't quite know. But I didn't either. I didn't either. I didn't know I mean people were going to be to her. And then it's like, you know Bobby was here with me. And I was like, so then it was just proving them wrong over and over again. Not that she even believed it, but it's like this, then it was, this is going to happen. And it's not ever true. But we can talk

about it anytime you want. Another artist has come to me and said, hey, I know you're dealing with, and they're dealing with it, where someone photoshopped this artist head perfectly onto a naked dude's body. Oh, yeah. And they were like, hey, so your husband sent me this picture. And she was like, he doesn't have that slight birth mark on. And that's how she knew, but that's the links people will go to. Oh, I mean, they photoshopped passports of my, like, whatever it may be, but that's just

absolutely, I don't know, I hate anybody has to go through it, but I think now that just seeing how it bothers people, it's something that needs to be done about, I think. And it does make you value privacy a little more. It did for me as someone who was not private at all, but now that I have someone in my life that I don't want them to be so available. Absolutely. I've always felt like that, but now, you know, I am happy and I don't mind putting it out there, but it's like, we already, you know, try not to focus on the two negative comments out of hundreds of positive, but it's hard to do. We're human.

And to see it affects somebody else you care about, that's what it really, I mean, they can dog me all day, but it's different when they're doing that stuff. So I just wanted to, I don't know, I've always wanted to ask you what you were, what you did about that.

But I think it has gotten better. I think people realize, like, well, we're not going to mess this up. So we move on to somebody else, you know. We get listeners. Like, I gave $2,000 bucks to this artist. And I'm like, so here's the idea creatively.

I don't know if you've heard, but Eddie and I have this little, this little duo that's been moderately successful in the comedy world called The Raging Idiots. Just missed y'all in Florida. You did. Same festival. We're opening for Garth. Oh, dude.

Weird. And Razorback Stadium, April 23rd, if you want to come out. All right. That would be amazing. But here's the situation. Okay. We write a song called Blue Check, a funny song. Yeah.

And it's all about that and don't trust people without the Blue Check and what they ask for. And if it meets the criteria of you thinking it's funny, maybe you do a little collab with a It's like John Party did when we did, say that in a country song. I would love to, I mean, there's no more important issue I want to deal with than people. Blue check. So I love that idea. Hey, one real question, like seriously, is like with the album, why did it take so long to put out a stereotype? Because it felt like it was a long time.

Yeah. And I think, you know, people have been waiting. I've been waiting. And obviously, with the pandemic, a lot of things were put on hold. And that includes me making an album. But also, without all the time on the road doing shows, I had time to just focus on writing more. And I think I don't know if I was personally in a rut. I was confused, wondering if we'd ever get back to touring and doing all that stuff.

But I also took a look at the songs I had and realized that there were friends of mine and other artists I respected putting out music. And I just didn't feel that way about the songs I had yet. And whether that was the production or the actual songs, whatever it was. So I just wanted to take a chance and, you know, work. with some different people. There's so many talented people in this business. And Michael Carter, obviously, we've done everything I've done together, and I would not be where I am without him, but he still did single Saturday night. And then I also got to work with Zach Crowell, got to work with Jordan Schmidt and Chris LaCourt, who I'm all fans of them. So I think

that's what makes this album a little different. I was able to do songs like I'm going to let her and walk on whiskey that are more stripped down and kind of what I wanted to do, but then also have the tempo, the fun stuff too. So that kind of put things on hold. You and Laney will be performing the single now at the CMT Music Awards coming up this week, April 11th on CBS, and then you're up for video of the year as well. So a great and early call by you guys to get Laney on because she's blown up since. Like you nailed it and then she blew up. Yeah, but I mean, I think we, you know, I was already a fan of her debut album,

but it was, I think, her first thing, you know, things the man ought to know with top ten and just the timing of everything. But now getting to know her and just, I don't know, I couldn't, I can imagine anybody else singing that song. So I'm a huge Lanny Wilson fan. I'm just happy for everything's going for her. We said that from the beginning that I think this song's going to do big things for both of us, and that's how it should be.

The new album is out. It is called stereotype. Cole is passing me a note. Do you have any gift cards? No, I don't have any Apple gift cards, bud. Ask me on Instagram. I'll hook you up over there. I'll shoot you a message from one.

Yeah. Okay, Cole, you're just a massive success. Ten number ones as an artist and many, many more. You're right like crazy. You're just one of the real creatives. I appreciate you for that. Thank you, both. And that's it.

Good luck. I hope you won all the awards. Hope you sell it all the shows, which you do have a bunch of shows coming up. Yes, we get tickets at coleswindell.com. He's got starting April 19th, all the way until October 8th on the books right now. So wherever you are,

Where do I get it? We're like, well, if you want to make the news, then you should use your money. And you're like, we'll give me the show card. Well, then the show would make the news. It wouldn't be you. Yeah. You know. The police department in California, Oceanside PD, they were giving people 50 bucks for gas sitting at the gas pump.

Yeah, you know what? It's not their own money. It's a city's money. Okay, but a single person is not getting recognized. You wanted single person recognition. Yeah. Well, they could say lunchbox from the Bobby Bone Show. It's giving out gas money.

But you wouldn't, it would be, we wouldn't just send you if we were doing it as a show event. Why? Let me have the spotlight for once. You get to probably every day all the time. So shout out. Oceanside Police Department. the officers were able to give away 50 bucks at a time, a total of $1,500. The free money went a long way toward putting smiles on faces of people that were getting gas because gas is high.

And they are doing other programs now. And it looks like they're going to help people with their grocery bills soon as well. That's awesome. There you go. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. It's time for our check-in. It's called What's the Haps?

Hey! Hey, what's the Haps? All right, what's the Haps, Amy? Well, I went out to eat. and the bill comes and we're all going to split it. Everybody throws their credit card in, and then the waiter comes back to the table and hands me my card and said, it didn't work.

Oh, embarrassing. I know. Did it expire? So then I was like, oh, shoot, you know how I've had all that fraud lately? I got a new card, and I forgot to put it in my wallet, so I hadn't replaced it. And so then I had no way to pay. I had no other forms of payment,

and so I had to get the bill covered, and they had to go rerun me. They're cards and it just got really awkward. And I just met the people. Oh, I was going to say, if it's close friends, it's not as awkward. No, it's fine. Oh. But it was, no, like my first time.

One of them I'd met once before. The other one did first time meeting and it was just very awkward. Well, if they know your reputation. Rude. I mean, Amy, no, what Amy does, Amy does this thing where she, let's go eat, let's go eat. Oh, what do you know? I don't have my card.

Bobby, will you pay for me? She does that? She's done it numerous signs to Bobby. You see all the fingers on my hand? More than that. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's not true.

And then what do you know? You do with your other friends too? Bobby said just so you know you're not special. Yeah, thanks. Wow. Okay, exaggerating much. But it was embarrassing and I will be paying them back. Don't you worry.

Okay. Hey. Hey, what's the hat? I'll give you guys an option on mine. I can tell you about a new show. I can tell you about something that's happened to me that's a bit awkward, but I'm proving you guys wrong. Awkward.

Awkward. I just grew a half shoe size. No, you know. Friends, you can't. I told you guys, I'm growing. I'm growing. I'm a quarter of an inch taller. My foot's getting bigger.

The same tennis shoes and the same brand I always buy. I had to go up a half shoe size. So. Are you swollen? Oh, yeah, salt. Yeah. Your feet don't get bigger and you don't get taller. Your feet get bigger if they're swollen.

I'm getting taller. Are you wearing bigger socks? No. I've just been telling you guys for six months that for some reason I'm growing still. To toenails. Are you trimming them? Long toenails. Just because you got called out.

I'm not calling you out. I'm just saying that we hear of it with age people's nose or their ears keep growing, but we've never heard of higher feet. I'm getting taller. What about your hands? Yes, look how big they are now. Oh, that's our big.

Thank you. So I went up a half shoe size. That's my what's the haps and it was crazy and I had to order shoes. the half shoe size up. What up? It's weird. I'm still a growing boy. You should submit yourself to science. Well, I haven't gotten that big yet. If I grow up another half inch and I'm a legit 6-1,

you'd never get to hear the end of it. I'm going to start being 6-2 to you guys. Because if I'm 6-1, I'm really 6-2. All right, that's my What's the Hats? Hey, what's the Hatch? Lunchbox.

First, she was wanting an autograph and I was like, most people do selfies now. She was like, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And then that's when she went to get to other people from the back. And she brought out some dude and another girl. And they came out and I was like, oh, are we going to do this picture? And she looked at her friends. She goes, are we going to take a picture?

They were trying to play it cool at that point. Which, by the way, I have a clip. I walked into an arena and everybody was so shocked that I was walking in. They all got really quiet. Here's the clip of that. Wow. Wow. Amazing.

They were in such shock. You can take any clip and say anything about it. You want. No, no. That was what happened. I mean, you heard it right there. Yes, and they were so excited. I heard her say, I don't know, do you want to take a picture?

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So we've talked before about the five-click trick on an iPhone. Like if you're in an emergency situation, you just hit that big bar on the side of your phone five times, and it will alert 911 for you. Not only we talked about it, you did it. Yeah. On accident.

SOS, straight here from the studio. Yeah. And it was scary, but I think I've mostly talked about it in cases in which women feel threatened and they need to have their finger. Like if you're ever walking alone at night, they say, have your phone in your hand, have your finger on that button in case something happens, you can just boom, boom, boom, boom, do it. Well, this one guy was snowboarding and he ended up in a terrible situation where he was underneath a bunch of snow. It's called an avalanche.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, I don't know. He fell off, like, went off the cliff and there was like... We're still called an avalanca. I sure. Call it whatever you want, but he was in like the Swiss South Mountains or something. And he's 41 years old and he said he's so glad he knew the five-click trick because he was able to do it. His phone was wet. He wouldn't have been able to dial 911. And so he did it. And then 20 minutes later, emergency crews were able to find him. I mean, that's cool and all that he can get service there. In my house, I get like one bar.

You guys underneath snow and some swish lap, ha. And in your bathroom... Yeah, I get one bar on my living room. He did, yes. I got a five-click to get a call to go through to Eddie. Click, click, click, click, click. All right. What's your emergency?

All right, yeah, he lived. Yes, he lived. So it's an amazing story. Like a little tell me something good here and a PSA. So it is now going to be socially acceptable to eat a Kit Kat bar for breakfast because they released a new flavor called blueberry muffin. That sounds awful. And Kit Kat might be my favorite candy bar.

Ooh, if I were doing this, I won't get into that today. Here we go again. No, I know. But Kit Kat's the bet. But blueberry muffin is not good for that. Really? Yeah, that's like, hey, we're going to do a new cereal, pepperoni cereal.

And you're like, I love them both, but that don't make sense. Okay, let me describe this to you because to me it sounds amazing. So there's notes of fresh and cooked blueberries. Well, that's the first thing. Kit Kat should not be fresh. Okay. They should be so processed. No, it's still processed.

It's what it tastes like. Okay. A cake batter like muffin, flavor and gram cracker like cookie pieces folded into the bar and then the iconic crispy wafers of course. All right. I'll pass. Okay.

There's a rare interview with George Strait from 1982 that has surfaced and I'm just going to go ahead and play a clip because it's kind of funny of what the person says about George. With George Strait T-shirts selling briskly in the background, we ask some fans about the singer who supposedly can make a cowgirl's jeans twitch at 100 yards. Well, he sings pretty songs and he's a good looking. That's what it is. You'll see when he walks out on the stage,

you'll probably see about 75 to 100 or 200 girls staying right up at the front of the stage holding roses to throw to him or try to get his autograph or just get a look from him. Yeah, he was the original Justin Bieber. Yeah. What do they mean by Gene's Twitch? Eddie, I'll tell you off here.

If your parents haven't had that talk with you at this point, it's not something we'll do here. Okay. And again, yeah, that's from 1982, and he had one number one song at that point, which was full heart in memory. I just wish at some point of my life I could make someone to jeans Twitch. Might be too late for that, dude.

I know. Okay. I'm Amy. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.

Well, the pharmacist that works there, Kathleen, she's developed a relationship with him. And one day he found out he's going to need a kidney transplant. And he shared with her that he was on the transplant list.

And she looked at him and she said, you know what? I'm going to go get checked. See if I'm a match because I'd love to give you. my kidney. She went and got checked. She's a match. The transplant went down. Everyone is doing great. And he called her an angel from heaven. Pretty cool. And 30 years, huh? Yeah, he's been dealing with it for 30 years. It's a rare genetic thing.
