Welcome. back hope you had a good weekend morning studio morning if so much to catch you up on from the weekend but brett eldridge is already in the green room he's coming in in the next 10 minutes we love when brett stops by someone on the show wants to ask him an awkward question we'll get to that but since brett is here early let's go ahead and get started with the mailbag right now you send

an email and we read it on the air it's something we call bobby's mail bag yeah hello I've been with my fiance for over three years. Both he and I have 14-year-old daughters. His daughter has been posting a lot of bikini pictures on Instagram. I'm extremely uncomfortable with this, and I think she should remove these pictures from her account. Her mother, my fiancee's ex-wife, and himself find it to be perfectly acceptable

and have no intention of having her removed the pictures. I think this is not only inappropriate, but also a safety issue. This is starting to negatively impact our relationship. We are in the middle of building a house, together and the wedding is next month but has become such a contentious issue between us that we are considering calling everything off. My fiance is starting to make me question myself.

Am I crazy to feel this way? Signed, future stepmom. You're not crazy to feel that way, but as we've often said, not your chili, not your beans. Yeah. That's really not what we say. No, it's close though. Lunchbox says, like, don't stir your chili. No, if it's not your chili, no need to stir it.

There you go. That's it. Yeah, we don't want to have that down. But it's she has a mom. Because it's not her kid, right? It's not your side of the street. Yeah. Your sidewalk, get off of it.

I don't know, it doesn't work. Well, listen, my therapist always tries to tell me to focus on my side of the street. So that's where, like her side of the street would be her 14-year-old daughter. And yes, she's marrying into this, but there already is a mom and a dad that's handling that, and they're both okay with it. And so if she just focused on her side of the street, then she can kind of let go of that. She doesn't need to carry around this burden, not her responsibility. And yeah, I'm with her. Like, it would make me uncomfortable and I'd be worried about safety and I wouldn't like it.

And you're not crazy to feel that way. You're not crazy to feel that way. But it's also you need to remind yourself your side of the street and then you let go of those thoughts and then they'll no longer dominate your day. And I mean, at this point, it's potentially ruining your relationship. So then I would take a look at like all the other things. Like, is this some, you know, you don't want to. to be ruined over this. And if you go, in your mind, I just want to

stomp out a few arguments that she could have, well, this is my stepdaughter now and she's in our house a lot. Okay, that is accurate. But if you were to go, okay, if I'm her stepmom, this is the percentage of time she's with me and I'm, but that's her real mom. She

actually has more shares in the business than you do. Yeah, her mom that's still in her life. So she gets to, she's controlling. Only put meat in the chili if you got enough mix. Okay. Okay. No, I don't work either.

You know, you want a positive spin of this is that she's going through this now before they actually get married. So she can actually figure all this out before they tie the knot. But you're not going to be really bad. You're going to not get married because of it. There you go.

That's good. I was just thinking, like, you're going to not get married because of this. If they don't get married because of this, this is on her. Well, yeah, and I would say the issue is bigger than just this. And it's on her. Yeah. You cannot agree with it.

You can feel like it's a really bad decision You can be so against it, but there's a point where you have to decide, am I going to let my feelings on this? Again, that I don't have a majority ownership, majority shares. Am I going to let something have a minority ruin the majority of my life? Well, because they could potentially, even though they have 14-year-olds, so I don't know their age or what their plans are for more kids, but they could potentially have a baby together and then have this issue down the line. That's a different conversation. Yeah.

It's a full – that conversation, that's her kid. She has majority share. That's their chili. They made that together. In their own bowl. Correct. That they got from Walmart. But I don't know.

If she's planning on that, then it is something to take into consideration before you get married. But I don't, unless the dad is the one fighting for it, it's the mom. You got to let the mom make the decision there. Bail out of this one, not your fight. You don't have to agree with it, but you got to get out of it. Hate to be the one to not agree with you since you do listen to our show. But have some chili. Have a good day.

All right. That's the mailbag. Close it up. Got your email and we read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's Mailback. Yeah. On the Bobby Bone Show now. Brett Eldridge.

Congratulations on the new song. Thank you. You know what's interesting about this song is, and here's a clip of Brett's new song, Songs About You. I'm just trying to get through these songs about you. What I like about this and what I like about this kind of song

is it's a sad song, but it's got a little beat on it. So sometimes you're just like grooving. and you're like, I feel so good. And then you listen, you're like, no, that was sad. It's kind of confusing, but in an awesome way. That's some of my favorite kind of stuff is a little double meanings, you know. When you write this, and it is a sad song, what's the song about? Because you did write it.

What's the song about? Basically, you're going through life. You think you're over somebody. And then years later or weeks later, months later, whatever, you hear the song as you're walking by a bar in Chicago or wherever takes you right back to that person. You're not so much over it. from as much as you thought you were. And you just, now all of a sudden,

you're trying to get through these songs about you. Every song is about you that I hear. So whenever you write this, or you have the idea for it, do you imagine it as a ballad, a slow song at first? I had the, honestly, I had the groove. I had the groove, I'm just trying to get through these songs about you.

I had that and like the feel beforehand. And then I, so I had like a feel-good thing about it. And then I went into Jesse Joe Dillon and Ben West and we kind of dug through how to do it and it just felt like to put that angle on it was the way to go. Do you and your phone have

just a weird clip of you going Na-do-da-da-do? Oh yeah. So you keep those. Yes. Do you... I'm sitting in the bathtub. Yeah, well that come to you randomly and you just have a part of it and so you don't want to lose it so you record it right then. Yes.

Okay, can I play one of mine? I would love to hear it. I did that like three this morning. This is called and I recorded it. and I don't know if it's going to be anything. It's 3 a.m. And I do it. Yeah. Maybe earlier.

I woke up in the middle of the night. And I got this. It's probably going to win a Grammy, if I can be honest with you. I can't wait to hear this. So this one's called a gas station breakfast. And again, I'm just doing that. These are your 3 a.m. thoughts. I like this.

I'm just going. Here you go. This is me. You think Brad's got good music. Wait for this. I'm having a gas station breakfast. Pork rinds. and sweet tea

having a gas station breakfast but here a guy in the 18 wheeler over there just winked at me So it just keeps going I don't even have words to some of it I'm like so I feel like we'll sit down And I'll go okay here's this thing It came to me in the middle of the night

Now yours is real Yeah I do but is it this similar I could probably find mine But I would want to listen to it before I played it on here It's like a song Oh, I don't play that. Usually I save it.

Like, I think I had the verse. Yeah, okay. So I just search the title. Because then in mine, I'm also going, I'm not even saying words. I'm just trying to keep a little melody. So when we write the song. Here we go.

So that's the verse. That's awesome. That's really cool. Yeah, that's awesome. So that's like first thing in the morning so you can't jug the vocals too much. Oh, because we were. I knew you were.

I saw you over there. I was just kidding. Now a little more of gas station, I'm just kidding. Stop. Staying breakfast We're the same We're the same

That's gonna be a master for some day Did you say the line about Somebody in the 18 wheeler winked at me Strucker and the 18 wheeler just winked at me Hared it Because he saw you eating the taikido or whatever I don't know what his motivation was But I'm not up for it

That's all I know What is motivation was In gas station breakfast So you know I don't know which one will be a number one first Yours or mine But that's not a bet I'm willing to take That's it's a bad I'm willing to take It's a lot

Brett Eldridge. I wonder, you know, we played songs about you a second ago and some of my favorite music of yours is the emotional stuff. do you need to be currently in that emotional place to write a great emotional song? I think in some forms, it might not, like if I might not be going through a heartbreak or something, like when I'm writing songs about you, you kind of heard the story of where it came from. By the way, for listeners, I was just tuning in, not a song about me. They may have heard a song about you.

No, it's about you. It's about you listening. But, no, I mean, I think I've had to be there. But like if the, so I've had to experience it. otherwise I feel like I'm not telling it. And then when I'm writing a love song, I might not necessarily been like deep in love before, but I know what I imagine I want.

And that's, you know, I think like in a movie, in a movie way of how I would imagine how it would work for me, you know. Did you just say that you've never been in love before? I think that's what you just said. Is that what you just said? Yeah, I mean, I would probably say that, I mean, I've been in love in different ways in my life, you know. But like deep love, I don't know.

I don't know. I don't. To, you know, full transparency here. I had never either at all until I met Caitlin. Yeah. So I think we're both playing the game a little later than most folks. But I think it's really special to that person. Yeah.

You know, whenever you do meet whomever it is, you're like, I had never been in love before until you. Yeah. I actually think that's pretty awesome. Yeah. Do you value that? Or you like, I don't want to do it until that's like the real one. I value that in a big way. And I honestly, I feel it coming around.

I'm open to it. I used to not even be open to it. I'd be out in the road. I'd be traveling all the time. That would be my life. That was all my love. Now I'm open to the right thing coming wrong. So it's going to happen.

Abby, I want to put you on the air for a second with Brett. Abby is our phone screener. And she had a question about you. So go ahead. Abby, meet Brett. Hey, Brett. Oh, we've met. How you know, Abby?

Good. Well, that was weird. How was it? Oh, we've met. We've met. We've met. I don't know. He walks by me when he goes in the studio.

That's what I mean. Okay. No, I was, okay, I'm wondering this. Like, how are you single? Because I feel like you have everything a girl could want. Like what? Talk to talk about. Like, you're funny, you're tall, you're talented.

You love God. Your family, your dog. I mean, like, isn't that everything a girl wants? Oh, man. Like, are you too picky? Or like, I'm just generous. But I honestly, I think I always, like I was just kind of saying, I always put love off to the side or anything and was just, you know, focusing on music and

doing all of that. And I've really took a focus in the last few years to focus on my personal life, too. There's a lot more than just music and playing music. And so I guess I am picky, but for the right reasons, I guess I want to find the right thing. And I really feel like it's coming in here pretty soon. I'm very open to it. Yeah. He said multiple times that he feels it coming soon.

Like, he's manifesting this? Absolutely. Okay, so you're putting it out. But there's not something that you're just hiding. Right. No, no, no, okay. I can respect that if so. Is it fair to say that maybe in the last couple years or so, you've been like getting

to know yourself more? So that way you can show up as the right person? Let me paint this on you. You're a pretty cerebral guy. Yeah. I just picture you those like, I guess. drives. I'm not a guy. Let's go for a drive. Yeah, I do.

Like, what do you get from that? Reflection. Really? Yeah, I really do. I like, and hiking is a big thing for me, so I'll go on long hikes and I'll just, I used to listen to podcasts all the time on hikes. Now I just listen to the birds. That's forest bathing.

Oh, my goodness. What is happening right now? Forest bathing? Yes. You don't listen to anything? You have the nature? Yeah. I listen to nature. Nature.

Oh, man. That lunchbox runs and only listens to nature. On a run. Yeah. That's unbelievable to me. Wow. That's what you need. I mean,

that's what makes you feel free. If you're still with the technology in your ears, you're not getting away. I don't need to get away. I'm good. I'm getting exercise. Brett Eldridge is here. You're going to Europe.

You say you're going to Portugal, then do a bunch of shows over there. Do they like you there? Or is it a different kind of like? What's happening? Yeah. So I start in the UK, then I go to Germany,

and then I go to Amsterdam. am. It's so fascinating. And honestly, it's like starting your career in another, you know, it's starting over in some ways. It's, it's making new fans in a new way. So it's really exciting. It reminds me like my first tour here in clubs and that excitement and everybody's singing every word to number seven on the album that over there they listen to every song. It's pretty cool. Do you feel like that's a bit like humbling in a good way when you go do that? It kind of rechecked that you're a normal dude. 100%

because here you're playing arenas. I knew you're walking outside the venue like nobody did and walking around town and just seeing all these new cultures and new things. I love it so much.

It's like we want to leave the studio every day. Absolutely. Just walk right out. Nobody gives a crap except for right here. Have you ever on the show I was talking about

I ran into somebody that I feel like is famous, is a football coach from Arkansas and he didn't know it was. Have you ever run anybody famous just randomly in real life and been like, hey, what's happening?

And you're confused. Like, should I say I'm Brett Eldridge in case they know I'm... Has that ever happened to you? Where you feel like it's awkward, do I just say, hey, I'm a fan, or do I say I'm Brett Eldridge so they don't think it's weird? I met Jim Nance the other day. The commentator? Yeah.

And I'm really... I just love... I like people with, like, a really cool voice, and obviously he's a legend for... And I was like, I don't... He acts like, he likes like, he loves music, and he knows who I am. I have no idea, but... Did you say? Hi, I...

What did you say? How did you introduce yourself to Jim Hansz? Somebody introduced me that was with him. And so I just said hello. But I was like, I don't know if he knows or not. But I was like, it's cool. Brett Eldridge is here. I got a picture.

Look at this guy right here. Oh. Yeah. Look at that. Hey, Abby, take a look at this and see if you still want to say what's up. That's high school. Yeah, this is. I posted that, I think.

Oh, you did? Yeah. A while ago. Hey, look at you. I mean, but how old are you now? I mean, versus that's what? That's 20 years ago. This is like six months ago, or least, right?

20 years. Frost and tips. Yeah, you got to get frost and your collars up. Oh, yeah. You're wearing your collar? Did you ever double pop? I never single popped. You never even single pop.

No. What's a double pop? Two colors. You wear two shoes. Oh, man. Yeah, you double the layers. What kind of kid were you in high school? I was kind of like, I was in the middle, so I was hanging out with the nerds and the

popular kids. I was like, I'd do it all. I feel like that. I feel like that's like a really attractive. attractive woman going, I was a tomboy. I feel like that's what you just, that's what people just say. I was kind of a class clown. I was kind of a class clown.

Okay. Let's get down into it. A little bit of a class clown. I was never like a troublemaker. I would be friends. Like I love all the teachers and they would hold me in detention and I would goof off in class, but we would, and when I was in detention, we would just tell jokes and have fun and I would run the halls for a really long time. Were you the singing guy?

Oh yeah. You were, so even in high school, you would sing a guy. Yeah. Where would you sing in high school, though, where your peers in school could see you? Um, musicals. Did you do any big ones that we'd know? Oh yeah, Oklahoma. Oh, yeah.

Is that, pull your mic up a slowly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is that, um, uh, oh, what a beautiful morning. Do you do that? There's a bright golden haze on the meadow. There's a bright golden haze on the meadow. The corn is as high as an elephant's eye. And it looks like it's climbing.

clear up to the sky. Oh, what a beautiful... Oh, you don't laugh. It's the best part of the whole song. Come on, give us that one. Oh, what a beautiful morning. Oh, what a beautiful day. I got a beautiful feeling.

Everything's going my way. Oh, what a beautiful day. And now? Have some pork rinds and sweet tea. Same thing. I'm having a guest station breakfast. Yeah. Oh, it won't turn off.

It won't turn off. Oh, no. Okay. I didn't sing that song in a minute. Yeah, that's a good one. That's an awesome one. Take me back to the old. You did that.

You were that guy? Curly. Curly. That's pretty cool. So I did that. I did that. What else did we do? Oh, I was a grease.

Yeah, I was too. Did you, were you Danny Zuko? Yeah, so was I. Really? Yeah, I don't want to blow you out of the water, but. I had frosted tips. That's Danny Zucco, because I was like. That doesn't work.

I know, it didn't look right. It looks really stupid. Did you do? Stranded at the drive-in. Oh, yeah, yeah. Branded a fool. Well, I don't remember those lines. What will they say, Monday at school?

I'm all alone No, not the right song Don't take me shine Sandy Can't you see I'm in Missouri You know that? You don't know this?

I must have sang that Oh man Okay, do your part Now fine Okay sing it I don't remember I don't remember any of I just remember

There's a ring where There's a scene where There's a scene where She You give her your high school ring And then My dad let me borrow His wedding ring

in that scene and the girl that was playing Sandy throws it at me, well, it got, they lost my dad's wedding ring somehow disappeared and they could not find it for Oh no.

Sorry, dad. But he ended up, you did find it. Yes, yes, yes. So if you do theater and musicals, like Jennifer Nettles is in righteous gemstones. Oh, yeah.

I'm watching her do that and perform and act and she did theater. So like, have you ever thought about pursuing acting acting? Yeah, I would do that. Would you do like a Broadway show if they came and said, hey, we're doing Oklahoma again? Yeah, I mean, I think I would do it for like a short run,

like a six-month run or something. I could live in New York. That's a long run. That's a long run. That would be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I would do that.

Sandy. Can you see if I'm in Missouri. God, I don't remember that one. I think it's probably maybe do you think he can't catch it because of the pitch you're getting. No. I'm nailing it. Okay.

Okay, look, the song is songs about you. I feel like we just had like an eight-mile moment where we battled and I won. That's a good battle. And it is what it is, and I'll be one and a know. Good to see you. You're watching the Cubs. Yes, and we're doing pretty good? Much better than I think people expected.

In North Carolina, a bear cub was stranded in a tree with its paw stuck between the trunk and the branch. Upon hearing the bear, a charity group called Help Asheville Bears sprung into action. They launched a mission to go and actually free the bear. The rescue team arrived quickly. One member on the team was tasked with climbing the tree, which that's tough. It's hard. And I understand, but to climb a tree when there's a wild animal stuck, that is dangerous. He was able to take the branches and, like, pull him apart, freed the bear's paw.

There was no bleeding, no damage. Put the cub back onto the tree and it climbed down itself. I also am waiting for that mama bear to show up. Yeah, I'm sticking that. So, thanks to this group. And thanks to Ryan, who they're describing as a superhero tree climber. The cub bear reunited with his mom, who luckily stayed out of sight while the rescue was taking place. But they literally climbed the tree to save the animal, which is pretty amazing.

It's the

Betterhelp.com slash Bobby. This is a total Eddie segment because he's the one that brought up Lunchbox doing his taxes. Lunchbox claims to be a tax expert, right, Eddie? Oh, yeah, every year he says he's made so much money from his tax returns. So what did you want to do here?

So I thought like, all right, since he's such a tax expert, let's ask questions. Yeah, let's use an expert. How often do we have an expert in our midst that we can just ask questions to for free? This is great. He's sitting right here, guys. He's sitting right here at our disposal.

All right, guys. Everybody have a tax question for the tax? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Love it. Eddie, your idea, you go first. Okay, easy. So, Lunchbox, sometimes I do some work on the side and they pay me through Venmo.

Now, I'm wondering, do I need to declare that income that's on Venmo? What is Venmo? I don't even know. How do I even get that information to my tax person? No, I wouldn't claim that on your taxes. And what you need to do on Venmo, though, make sure that you just have. have them put for like, when they had to put a comment, put pizza or something like they're paying you back for the pizza that you bought them.

And don't put for like, oh, gambling. That sounds like, well, you're cheating. No, no, no. This is just to make sure you're solid. But yeah, when you get paid on Venmo, it's absolutely okay. You don't have to write that off. By the way, I don't know that's true or false. No, you don't have to write that on your taxes, man.

What we should do is after we finish a segment, let's send it off to somebody who knows. A real tax person? And then have them give us a review of this. This is lunchbox just saying what do you. By the way, don't listen to this. This is not an expert. Also, Eddie, if you're getting paid more than like $600, I believe Venmo made it where, oh, they're going to start monitoring that.

So make sure they pay you in three installments, like say 400, 400, 400. So then it's like, oh, it's just. But that's what I'm saying. It still adds up from the same person. Not if it's a pizza symbol on it. Right, pizza symbol or birthday cake or something like that. Wow. Okay, well, thank you, lunchbox.

Thanks, man. Amy, lunchbox, who claims to be a tax expert, is here? Yeah. Lunchbox. Can I write off my lunch if I'm eating it at work? 100%. You get to write off your meals that you eat at work. That's a work meal, and you can write it off.

You can write your gas off to work, two in from work. Any work event? Yes, you write that off. Okay, don't listen to him. I don't know that's true or not. No, you can. No, I know you can. No, there's no way.

Just because if I'm at work and I order to pull, I order Sonnet, Chopol, whatever. I can't have it deducted. No, I can. No, I can. Okay. I'm not, you two arguing? Are you a tax expert or am I? It's white noise. Do you go to your son's teacher and argue with them over the, you know, social studies question? How much money do you think

you've made on your tax return in the last five years? Oh, around, close to $50,000. All right? I mean, you much, how much you made? Amy, see exactly. I know what I'm doing. You don't. What does W2 stand for? I don't know. He was going to make something up.

He had nothing. W2 is work income. Work two. Worldwide. Work twice. Work twice. Yeah. Withholding document.

Which one? Commit to one. It's withholding something. But I don't know what the two means. What's a 1099? 1099 is when you do work outside and no one takes taxes out. They send you a 1099 so you know what taxes you didn't pay. That's actually right.

Contractor. And we'll have somebody fact check this segment. Thank you. That's actually right. No, I know I'm right because I'm a tax expert. Can I do golf if I go play golf and talk business while I'm playing golf? 100%. Yes, you can. Absolutely. It's sort of like a business lunch.

You can do that. If you fly somewhere and you talk business on the airplane, guess what? Write the flight off. It's all business you have to talk. You had to talk at least, I believe, 30% of the flight. 30% of golf. Do you have to close a deal in that conversation or just talk about it? No, just talk.

What's the difference between attacks, and a tax deduction. A tax credit and a tax deduction. A tax deduction is something you get to like, let's say, charity. You get a tax deduction because you gave something to an organization. I do PetSmart, $2 every time I go through there. That adds up.

Yeah, and every time sometimes... It's like 10 whole bucks to you. Every once in a lot, the grocery store it has like, oh, do you want to put your name on a shamrock? And so I'll say yes, really loud so the people around me. I'll take a sham. Damn, wrong. Yeah, and they don't ever acknowledge me.

What was the other one you asked me? Credit. Credit and deduction. A credit is something that you paid for and you didn't take taxes out, so you got to get a tax credit. I have no idea if that's right. I don't either. He could almost convince me, though, on that one. That's right.

Should my wife and I file jointly or separately? Oh, that depends on how much income you have coming in. Like, if you are together and you... Why am I believing him? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. No, this is serious. It kind of does.

Like, if you combine your incomes and you are going over a certain threshold that takes you into another tax bracket, you want to file separate so you keep more of your money. What are your thoughts on tax software like turbotax? I think they're great. They really do help you and make it easy. It's step by step, walk you through it. I mean, I used to use one that was like three years old and I made a lot of money using it. So you used an outdated version. Yeah.

Final question. How can I get more on my tax return? You got to write a lot of things off. You have to really be diligent about keeping your receipts. I mean, anytime you order lunch, you talk business. Like you said, your golf, you can write that off. So the three things we talked about here already. No, no, your gas mileage, to and from work.

You've got to. No, I'm saying. No, that that had. Yeah, he did. I said, Amy, you could write it off, but that's how you have to do it. That's how you make more money. Or, and also have kids. You get money back for every kid.

Oh, that's not a bad idea. Yep. Interesting. Have a bunch of kids. Only guys, I'm going to make a cold. Yeah. Okay. Any tricks, though?

That's all the standard ones. anything that like you would say? Like if you go, like if you rent a movie at your house, write it off because you talk about it on air. You're in entertainment. But I must talk about it on the air to write it off. Yeah, nah, because it's part of your cable, you know, you're watching TV and you talk about

your cable? Oh yeah, absolutely. If I go to the movie theater, because I'm in the entertainment, I talk about those kind of things. I tweet about it, boom, that's work. Well, that is Lunchbox. He's a tax expert. If I didn't know any better, he sounds legit. And I don't know any better, and I know he's not legit.

But some of that stuff was convincing me. So. Like, what were you not convinced? What else do I don't even remember? Because I don't know anything about it. Here's what we're going to do. We're going to take this segment and we're going to send it to somebody who's an expert in taxes. And he's going to hopefully answer all these questions for us.

That's great. Okay? And they're going to come back and be like, dang, lunch. Lunchbox is really good at what he does. Thank you, lunch. You're welcome. And I didn't even go to get a CPA degree. You didn't, did you?

Nope. Or a speaking degree. There you go. All right. That's the deal. By the time it gets to be 6 a.m. here, I'm fully up and out on. Here I go. And so I'm texting away.

And I was told, hey, maybe you shouldn't text people at 6 a.m. What time can I start texting people, Amy? It depends. No, I need an answer. I need a universal answer. Oh, then 6 a.m.'s too early if you don't know someone's schedule. That's my depends part. It's because I know some friends have Do Not Disturb on.

Me? If you have an iPhone, it's an easy thing to fix. Right. So I text with Liberty. If I know a friend might not be up, then I just have to hold off. And I don't want to wake them because I don't want to be the person that or ding or anything too soon, too late, too early. Let's assume do not disturb does not exist. Okay.

Let's talk about general etiquette. What's too early to text? What's that point? I know by 6 a.m. you feel like it's lunchtime for you, but it's too early to text. So I would say 738. I'm going to bed by that time. 7.38 a.m. I know.

Okay. So 7.30 is going to be your time. Yeah. I stand by 6 a.m. Eddie? Seven. I think the world's moving by 7 a.m. So anything after that's fair game.

Before, it's too early. Okay, let's talk about calling. I'm assuming around the same, maybe even a little later. Calling? Yeah. You're going to call somebody. What's that time? Nine?

Can you tell me never to call? Yeah, that's you specifically. Like you said, if you know your friends, 9 a.m. Yeah? Oh, yeah? Yeah. We're nine? I go 10 a.m. Oh, that's too late. 10 a.m. because they've already been to work. They've been settled around their desk or whatever they do. I think you can call before that. I think you can call it nine.

You can call it nine, yeah. I can call it. Okay, what's too late to call? What's the cutoff point for you can't call anymore? 9 p.m. I go 9.30. I go 10. Oof, that's late. 10. Hey, you know what starts at 10? The evening news. Nobody watches evening news. Right, I know, but that's a good staple of when everyone's just like...

Nobody even knows evening news exists anymore. Really? No one watches that? I hope I'm asleep by then. The only time I know evening news exists is when I see a commercial for it. And I'm mostly watching streaming services anyway. Mine's when the game ends and the news comes on. That's true. Oh, wow, look at that.

Yeah, they still do that. How about that? And I've started to just totally put my phone away at night. Like, sometimes I hope there's not an emergency because I just, like, lay my phone somewhere and I let it go. And I'm like, I don't need to be on it. I'm going to focus on the kids, putting them to bed and then putting myself to bed. Period. Okay, so here we go. Let's make our rule book.

You can't tell. text anybody until universally on this show we're gonna say nine no oh no we all seven 30 okay seven um i'm gonna say let's go seven because i'd six okay seven a m all right you can't text anybody after nine oh no way 30 10 10 that text okay so then we meet in the middle nine 30 okay you can't call anybody before nine a.m yeah you can't call anybody after nine 30 p.m. you can't call anybody after? 9.30 p.m. It's all different. Is there an email rule? I can email email anybody. Oh yeah. Fair game 24-7. It's even cool when you send one at like three in the morning. They're like, wow, this guy's an overachiever. If somebody has their email notifications on,

that's on them. That's right. Like that's not your problem. I feel like that about everything, every notification. But okay, so we've said it. This is our rule. We're going to live by this now. And I'm going to stop texting people at 6 a.m. because of this. Thank you for this. I needed it. Maybe our listeners needed it too. We're good now. On the phone, Nikki in Tampa. Nikki, good morning. Good morning.

Good morning, studio. Morning. Morning. What's going on? I am calling to talk about lunchbox and all of his winnings and his winning song. I need to know if he knows that he's singing it wrong. Lunchbox. I'm not singing it wrong.

I don't know if you have something in your ear or something, but I sing it right every single time. Maybe you just miss it in my excitement and you're not hearing it correctly. What are you talking about exactly there, Nikki? So the lyrics go, everybody's hands go up. and he screams at woo-hoo and he says, and they stay there and then lunchbox says again,

and they stay there. But the lyrics are, and they say, yeah. Oh, I never realized that. Any response? Yeah, I say that every time. And they stay there, and they stay there.

That's wrong. That's what she's saying, lunchbox. But isn't it okay? Like, is it bad? I mean, it's obvious that it's not right and I just needed to let him know

because I love when he wins. Nick is getting mad. I want him to sing it right. When Nikki called in, she's pretty friendly. Now she's a little upset. Like what would, like, what if we did? And the thunder booms. It's not it.

No. But we don't say it every day. Nikki, I appreciate that. Thank you for letting him know. He may not have known that. Absolutely. Have a good day now. All right.

Nice, Nikki's back. Thank you. The RAM 1500 exceeds all expectations with available features like a 12-inch touchscreen, digital rearview mirror, multi-functional tailgate, and a panoramic sunroof.

Well, the average parent enjoys just 32 minutes of free time each day.

That's it, huh? Man, I'm loaded with free time. Many parents find themselves being forced to actually hide from their kids in order to get away and get some extra free time. Eddie hides at work. That's why I brought this up. I remember two hours. No, no, no. You hear at 3 o'clock p.m. There's no possible way. an hour. That you should be here at 3 p.m. I'm working, man. I'm working.

Well, you might be, but you spent all those hours up till 3. Yeah. Hiding. Yeah. Move on, Amy. Some parents also admit to letting kids watch TV or play with a phone so they can avoid parenting. And the free time comes about 8.30 p.m. at night when they experience, you know, their kids like going to bed and they get to be alone. What would you like to say that?

TV time is not avoiding parenting. It's just time for us to do what we need to do while they're distracted. Yeah, I don't hit it. We're not avoiding parenting. Our life, we're parents. It's what we do. Can't avoid that. Do you relate to this at all?

Oh, I relate to this, yeah. Like when I was thinking back to my free time yesterday, it was like, oh, none. And then by the time I did get my son down, it was my bedtime. I just can't wait to have kids. You have to make it sound so glamorous. Yeah. Sorry. So would you rather get a selfie with your favorite celeb or an autograph?

I don't want an autograph unless it's somebody from sports and they're signing a piece of memorabilia that is associated with them. Otherwise, no need. Just take a picture. Well, a new poll was taken, and you would think that autographs would just be done, but 20% of us would still want that autograph. 42% would rather take a selfie, and 27% said they wouldn't ask for either. Well, I'd probably be in that one then. I wouldn't ask for it, but you only gave me two options. This should surprise you with a third.

Yeah, I think, dang, I don't know I had that choice. Speaking of celebrities, I saw this article of celebrities that are shockingly 60 or older, and I'll just run through a few and see if you knew they were 60. Cheryl Crowe. Yes, because I just had her on my podcast. She was also shocked she was 60. Yeah. We all were. Yeah.

MC Hammer. Oh, that's crazy. Ralph Machio. Karate Kid. Michael J. Fox. Okay. Julia Louis Stryfis. Okay.

Like Jim Carrey. What? Oh, wow. He's 60? I know. That's crazy. That means we're getting older. And then finally, Randy Travis, he's getting a documentary YouTube premiere.

It's going to be coming out July 7th. It's going to be called More Life. And it'll be, yeah, premiering on YouTube this summer. So something to check out. Speaking of celebrities, we did that segment. a couple days ago where I said, hey, I ran into a celebrity at a restaurant. It was Houston Nut, the almost 10-year Arkansas head coach for the football team. His daughter messaged me.

I was like, I was there. I didn't even see you. She was with them. She was like, I'm a big fan. Listen to the show every day. Oh, that's funny. And she said, yeah, you didn't know what you were. But he'll come on the show if you want.

I was like, she said, but I do. I know you are. I'm a big fan. It's pretty cool. That's funny. So anyway, that's it. I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. say me. Tell me something good. I want to shout out to this guy in Seattle, Randy Miller, who is going around giving free haircuts to anyone that needs them. Now, it started out when he was homeless, he would cut other people's hair. He would set up a milk crate, put a trash bag over his chest, kind of like a barber's cape,

and he would cut hair, self-taught. Didn't really know what he's doing, but figured it out. And he did it to be a blessing to others. And since then, it has turned into a, um, He's continued to do it for a couple of years. He has day work that he does, but on his days off, he still roams the streets cutting people's hair for free. He's upgraded the milk cart to a folding chair and the trash bag to an actual barber cape. And his goal is to eventually go to barber school and maybe one day have a mobile hair cutting van. That's pretty cool. He's able to give back like that. I also think I've

had a few self-top barbers. Well, he runs his business off of three principles that people could learn from, Be accountable, build relationships, and create an experience. Heck, I might have gone to him before. I don't know if I had some pretty bad ones. A great story. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Coming up in about 20 minutes or so, I'll let you know about the shows I'm going to do here in Nashville.

So if you want to come, I'll give you all the details in about 20, 25 minutes. It's kind of half comedy, half motivational speaking. Right here, it's a little residency in town. So that's coming up. But first, let's go over to Amy and get in the morning corner. A morning corny. How much does a grandpa weigh? How much does a grandpa weigh?

Usually a little more than a gram. Mom. Cremont. Okay. Usually. There we go. That was the morning corny. That was the morning corny.

Tough crowd. Coming up in the mailbag, a 14-year-olds posting racy stuff on Instagram. And so this mom's like, I don't know. It's a stepmom. Like, I don't know. But let's talk about the situation. That's happening in the mailbag. And then we have somebody on the phone that wants to hire one of you guys for something.

What? Are they from Hollywood? Well, I'm not talking. Wait, what? Well, do that. Hold on. You guys hang out. All right, time to go over and open up the mailbag.

You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's mail bag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been with my fiance for over three years. he and I have 14-year-old daughters. His daughter has been posting a lot of bikini pictures on Instagram. I am extremely uncomfortable with this,

and I think she should remove these pictures from her account. Her mother, my fiancee's ex-wife, and himself find it to be perfectly acceptable and have no intention of having her removed the pictures. I think this is not only inappropriate, but also a safety issue. This is starting to negatively impact our relationship. We are in the middle of building a house together,

and the wedding is next month, but has become such a contentious issue between us that we are considering calling everything off. My fiancee has started to make me question myself. Am I crazy to feel this way? Signed, future stepmom. You're not crazy to feel that way, but as we've often said,

not your chili, not your beans. Yeah. That's really not what we... No, it's close, though. One fox says, like, don't stir your chili. No, if it's not your chili, no need to stir it. There you go. That's it.

Yeah, we don't want to have that down. But it's... She has a mom. Because it's not her kid, right? It's not your side of the street. Yeah. Your sidewalk, get off of. I don't know.

That doesn't work. Well, listen, my therapist always tries to tell me to focus on my side of the street. So that's where, like, her side of the street would be her 14-year-old daughter. And yes, she's marrying into this, but there already is a mom and a dad that's handling that, and they're both okay with it. And so if she just focused on her side of the street, then she can kind of let go of that. She doesn't need to carry around this burden, not her responsibility. And, yeah, I'm with her.

Like, it would make me uncomfortable and I'd be worried about safety and I wouldn't like it. And you're not crazy to feel that way. You're not crazy to feel that way. But it's also, you need to remind yourself your side of the street and then you let go of those thoughts and then they'll no longer dominate your day. And, I mean, at this point, it's potentially ruining your relationship. So then I would take a look at, like, all the other things. Like, is this some, you know, you don't want it to be ruined over this. And if you go in your mind, I just want to, you.

stomp out a few arguments that she could have. Well, this is my stepdaughter now and she's in our house a lot. Okay, that is accurate. But if you were to go, okay, if I'm her stepmom, this is the percentage of time she's with me. But that's her real mom. She actually has more shares in the business than you do. Yeah, her mom that's still in her life. So she gets to, she's controlling.

Only put meat in the chili if you got enough mix. Okay, okay. No, I don't work either. You know, you want a positive spin of this? is that she's going through this now before they actually get married. So she can actually figure all this out before they tie the knot. But you're not going to be really bad. You're going to not get married because of it.

There you go. That's good. I was thinking like you're not, you're going to not get married because of this. If they don't get married because of this, this is on her. Well, yeah. And I would say the issue is bigger than just this. And it's on her.

Yeah. You cannot agree with it. You can feel like it's a really bad decision. You can be so against it. But there's a point where you have. to decide am I going to let my feelings on this again that I don't have majority ownership majority shares am I going to let something have minority ruin the majority of my life well because they could potentially even though they have 14 year olds I don't know their age or what their plans

are for more kids but they could potentially have a baby together and then have this issue down the line that's a different conversation that's a whole different conversation yeah it's a full that conversation that's her kid she has majority share that's their chilly they made that together. In their own bowl. Correct. That's my point. But I don't know.

If she's planning on that, then it is something to take into consideration before you get married. But I don't, unless the dad is the one fighting for it, it's the mom. You got to let the mom make the decision there. Bail out of this one, not your fight. You don't have to agree with it, but you got to get out of it. Hate to be the one to not agree with you since you do listen to our show. But I have some chili. Have a good day.

All right. That's the mail bag. Close it up. Now it's found it closed. Bobby's mailback. Yeah. Well, sort of breaking news. Found out about 30 minutes ago.

We have somebody on the phone who wants to hire someone on this show to do some acting work. Acting work! Yeah! I knew it. Let's go! More? For somebody? Okay, different.

Oh, my goodness. But, Amy, it could be you again. No, no, no, no, no, no. Acting? Oh, my gosh. I haven't even figured this out yet. Who knew we had a bunch of thespians? So they're actually actually going to pay

They'll talk about it's the whole thing Oh man Next We will talk to Ruby Okay Ruby I mean that is my first stone That sounds like a producer

I'm an actress and independent filmmaker. I produce direct and star in all of my short films. Okay, so she is here to offer one of you guys a paid role. Now, what would this role do? The role? Okay, so the role, of, it will be for one of the antagonists in the film. It is a, um, a dirtbag dude that, um, man handles a woman in a bar. It would be a Western after the Civil War. So late 1800s or

1866, 1867. And, um, I would have a pretty brutal fight with the individual. So you're looking for someone who's a little bit athletic, because you've got to feel. fight. Eddie's out. Yeah. Someone who can you know be the bad guy and what will you pay this role? Hold on, let's hold this for the end. Let's take it's a big one. Hold on, let's hold this.

Let's hold this. Let's hold this. So here we go. It sounds like they're the star the movie really. She is the star. Yes. She's a fight scene. Okay, it's a Western. She's looking for somebody to be a bad guy. Dirtbag. And I'm going to tell you who's up for this role right now. Lunchbox.

Yeah, let's go. You have cowboy boots. Eddie? No, it's not me, but thank you. What do you mean? It's not you? It's a dirtbag. You're passing?

But it's acting. No. Civil War, definitely not me. Athletic. And Ray Mundo is up for the role. Yeha! Wait, Eddie's passing on a roll. I'm not passing.

I'm saying I'm pretty sure it's not me. Oh. But, I mean, Ray, manhandling someone in a bar, short guy. Not really believable. All right, Ruby, who would you like to fill this role? I would love to have lunchbox So yeah What up fools

How are you like that? No it's hell I'm in the movies Hey let's start that IMDB page Mike D Pull it up Pull it up So lunchbox how much

Big acting job Oh big acting job Listen Amy's pays her a thousand bucks a day Yeah She goes over to do that For her small role But this is a movie This is a movie

What are you asking for here? I mean if Amy's getting a thousand I mean with my credential at least $1,000. Oh, you want just $1.1 buffer a contract. I'm getting the SAG day rate. Like, it's what? The minimum?

Yeah, the minimum. Yeah, the minimum. Yeah, the minimum. Yeah, the minimum. Well, to curb some expectations, it would be a non-union role. It definitely isn't SAG. It would be a micro-buggin. And it would be what an independent film would typically pay daily for an actor.

It would be a supporting role. You would have, um, pretty significant lines. Whoa! And you would get a lot of air time. Yeah! Does your idea change lunchbox? I mean, this is great.

Can we be at the Cannes Film Festival? So I will be submitting this for film festivals, but I'm also going to use this as a sizzle reel so that we can pitch this as a larger idea to streaming platform. Oh my goodness. I love it.

So what's your monetary ask now? Hey, man, you know what? I'm not going to, I don't want to insult her. I want to see what she offers and see that's good enough. Okay. All right. What's the offer, Ruby, to have lunchbox? The offer is negotiable, but it is $150 a day, plus I pay for travel and lodging. Where's travel to? Yeah, where are we going? It would be, you would either fly into Columbus or Cincinnati, Ohio. The travel I would pay for also a rental car, and you would drive about two hours south of Columbus or two hours east of Cincinnati.

So $150 a day. Chilli coffee, Ohio. Oh, Chilacothy. Yeah. $150 a day. Jellicotti, Ohio. How many days... When she says rental car, she means like a limo...

No, no. It hurts. How many days... That you'll be driving. Yeah. Actually, I was thinking of a 1984 Corvette. Now, that's what we're talking about. How many days will you need him?

Approximately three days. Oh, and it would be in August. Oh, August? Three days in August. $150 a day. You got to fly to Columbus and then drive. hours. You can drive a Corvette and make $4.50.

What you think? Let me check out my calendar for August. It's clear. Don't worry. Early August. There's a lot of open days on that calendar. Let me tell you. I mean, I'll go.

I'm going to be an actor. Yeah, because this could lead to bigger things, guys. I go to cons. I go to bonds. That's the one place you know where they have. No, the one in Colorado. What about Southby? Sundance.

Sundance. Stumb boat. What did you say? What are you called? Sundance. What did you say? What did you say? A stumb boat.

Stumb boat, yeah. But it's Sundance in steamboat. We can go to... South by Southwest? South by Southwest. It's Sundance and Steamboat? Yeah. I have no idea.

I think it's in Wyoming maybe. No, no, no. It's in like... Tell you ride. Guys, I just told you where it is. Mike, we tell me where Sundance is because I think it's in a different city in Utah. Park City.

That's what I said. It sounds like we're pretty close to a deal. And then just imagine. When my career blows up, they'll put a sign in Chilicati. Lunchbox film this first film right here. It's a weird sign. Maybe.

Never seen a sign like that. You guys take this offline. Let me know tomorrow or the next day how the negotiation went. We'll go from there. Ruby, we appreciate that. Of course. Guys, we're dealing with real deal. This is big time.

I like it. Let's see what happens. Thank you for the call, Ruby. And Lunchbox will be in touch soon. Yeah. There you go. I mean, this is how careers start. This is it.

All right, lunchbox. Good luck, buddy. Thank you. guys. I'll remember you guys when I make it big. I'll try to, you know, if you guys say hi to me. You know, he's going to have a lakehouse and chilicothe. I know. I really rub it in our face.

Let me start this off for the announcement. On June 17th and 18th, I will be doing the first two shows of my Nashville residency at the CMA theater here in Nashville. So everybody come. And I didn't really know what to call it. So I called it, brace yourselves. The no bad words, comedically inspirational, Nashville only world tour. So we hope you can. come. I hope you come. It'll be part comedy act, part motivational speech, and it'll be a lot of fun.

So come out. If you guys want to get tickets to the show, you can go to bobbybones.com on Friday. That are probably the easiest place or cmaeater.com. So bobbybones.com or cMA theater. On Friday, there are two shows on a Friday and a Saturday. I'll talk about the shows that we did, the one show that we did on Saturday. We got to open for Garth Brooks, and it's pretty awesome. It was almost like a fantasy camp weekend for me. Yeah. Because we got up Friday afternoon and I did some NIL stuff with some of the athletes at Arkansas, which now you can hire athletes and they can be paid.

So we got a clothing brand and I worked with like seven of the athletes. And we shot a bunch of stuff that will be coming out pretty soon. But then after that, went in, hung out with the head coach of the Arkansas football team, Coach Pittman and went to the football complex. It was just like if I got to create the perfect weekend of Arkansas sports and then, Garth, that was it. Yeah. So I feel like I owes somebody some money to like fantasy camp somewhere.

And then Saturday we went and we did a sound check at like three at Razorback Stadium. And empty was really cool because I've been in that stadium a bunch of bunch of times going to football games. But when it's packed, it was even wilder because I've never seen that stadium full of people on the ground. I believe it was the most attended event in Arkansas history because that's the biggest venue in the state. But they've never had people on the ground as well. so that the field was also covered. So we were going to go on and do 30 minutes. And we were talking to Garth beforehand.

And so we get there and Garth and Trish are finishing their sound check. And everything's pretty loose. To be such a tightly run, you know, perfectly sounding ship, everybody's just real chill and cool. And so we get there and we're just hanging out, ready to go do our thing. And Garth and Trisha are still singing. I think they were doing,

I'm on the inside What's that song? Shallow. Shallow. Yeah, yeah. Shallow. Yeah. And so we walk up and

I know them. But still, it's like, it never leaves me that that's Garth Brooks. And then it's Trisha. Yeah. And so I was like, I don't want to bother them.

Well, of course. They don't even see it that way. So they come over and they're like, what's happening? You guys ready? And I'm like, yeah, we're ready. You know, a quarter of me still has a little bit of nerves about it, just excited.

And Garth says, hey, you know, you can use this whole stage. I'm like, what do you mean? It's an entire circle, and most of the time when there's an opening act, the big act says, this is your small space, and this big space is for us, but you get the small space, and we don't want you to use the big space, because this is our spot, and we want to really break that in with the people. And guards, like, use it all, run around.

Like, go over there, do that. And I'm like, are you sure? You want, you're telling me I can go to all the places that you can only go. And it's like, I don't care. This is, like, our home together. And so we finished talking and we can take a picture and talk to Trisha a little bit. And then one of the guards guys comes over, like, you can use the whole stage. I'm not going to use the whole stage.

The opening act doesn't do that. And he's like, no, you'll use the whole stage or I'll give you a knuckle sandwich after the show. And I was like, okay, yes, sir. So I used the whole stage. Okay. Only a couple of times because there are people sitting all around it. You know, it's in the middle and the stadium circles it. But a headlining act just doesn't allow that to happen.

I guess Garth wasn't threatened. No, should he be. But it was really nice. Just super kind as a headliner to allow that. Secondly, we're talking about the show and he goes, hey, you know, if you guys are playing and you feel it, you're feeling it.

He goes, just keep playing. He said, I don't care how long you play. What? Exactly. He said, if you're feeling it, just keep playing. And I'm like, playing what? He said, if it's going great, stay, play more songs. And I said, they'll kill us. And he goes, no, they won't. He said, because you'll know if you're

feeling it. And then I said, well, what if it's like two hours later and we're still? And Tresi goes, no, I'll come stop that. Yeah. If you're doing that. So just the loveliest of host. And, you know, we go out and Garth was super cool. And he's like, we're going to make sure it's dark before you guys go on. Because he wanted it to really feel like, you know, us being a part of the show too. And so we go on and it was just kind of a blur at first. It kind of, because it's pretty emotional. It's like where I grew up. It's like my favorite place in the whole world. The fans were just extremely generous. And then we played our set and it was over and I really started to feel like it was super cool when it was over.

Because while we're doing it, I feel like I got to work. I got to perform. We were brought here to not be a nuisance to people. No worry that some of our funny songs maybe wouldn't translate to a huge crowd, but it's pretty good. And we finished it's pretty good. So when you did finish, like, what emotions were you feeling? Because when I watched a video of you coming out of the tunnel, like, to meet Caitlin, and then y'all walked off, it was almost like I was watching you leave, like, a major sporting event. Like, I won the Super Bowl?

Yes, like you're coming through the tunnel and you're walking out and your wife's meeting you, and you'll walk through and your fist bumping the crowd. Like, it just seemed like, you know, biggest sporting event in history, but you're not an athlete. Yes, I am. Just I am. Just not an athlete? Something like that. You train. That was the energy I was feeling.

Yeah, it was cool. And I think a lot of that energy, though, was because that's my spot, like my personal, most home spot. And I didn't fall down. I mean, you know, it's a pretty good show. Stacey's on in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The Garth Show was fantastic. And we can talk about that later, but he's the greatest performer I've ever seen in my life. Stacey and Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Thank you for calling. What's going on? Hey, morning, studio. Morning. Hey, I just wanted to let you know. I actually work in Fayetteville, and I work for Washington County Court services, and we have security every day, and they volunteer and work these big concerts like this. And they, two of my security guys were working on the floor, and they said that before the show, you and Caitlin came walking by, and you kind of went out of your way to say hello to them and how nice you were and how you're like the nicest celebrity they've ever met. and it was just, it meant a lot to them because most people just disregard security.

Oh, I appreciate that. The word celebrity is being thrown around pretty loosely here. I'll give you that. And if they think I'm the nicest, well, they must not have been lucky enough to meet Garth Brooks. But, you know, those guys are making sure that I don't get stabbed. You got to appreciate that, you know? If someone stab Eddie, I'm okay with that. But I just want to be in front of a human shield, you know?

But, I mean, come on. they're out there busting their butt so just happy to say hello to people that are also happy to be there and I appreciate that call Stacey Hey I have to say I was disappointed with one thing I thought you might bring Caitlin up and introduce her She has no interest at all

At being on a stage ever in her whole life She would kill DIVU says Yes she's just She's not for it, it's not her thing But she was there she met a lot of people A lot of people coming up taking pictures when she was hanging out But thank you Stacy I appreciate that Here's Kimberly in our

Arkansas who wants to mention something. Kimberly, you're on the air. What's going on? Morning studio. Morning. Hey, I just wanted to say, you are fantastic. Me and four of my girlfriends came up there, and we stayed at a house, and Friday night and Saturday night. We came to the concert. Two of them had never heard of the raging idiot. One of them fell madly in love with Eddie, and the other one is just so enamored and loved y'all so much that she's going to be an avid listening. today's her first aid listening. But the prank you pulled

when y'all were saying, are you ready for the main act that came up? That was hilarious because there was 80,000 people on their feet. And you're like, just kidding. Sort of, yes. So we wrote a song, and we had it up, you know, we had posted it before the show,

wrote a song that's like, nobody cares about the opening act. And there's a rhyme that's like, we may not be a band you know and you only want to be here for the star of the show. And what we were doing was just kind of bait and switching them. And the star of the show in our mind was the chorus of the song. And so we're like, are you right?

We never say he, we never say Garth. We never allude to Garth. Like, are you ready? And I can play it to you. This was recorded straight from the board. So this is us performing live, getting the crowd going. And it goes back into the second chorus, right? Okay, here we go.

Nobody cares about the opening at her. I guess they thought Garth Brooks. was going to be introduced during our set? Well, yeah. We have a mini drum set. None of the big lights. I'm like, there he is. And we got him good.

That's good. What am I? I mean, yes, obviously. It was perfect moment for him to walk out. No, it wasn't. That's not how he gets on stage. That's not how Gjord's right. It's a big...

He doesn't let this little band introduce him. A four piece with no bass guitar. Some people, they don't know that. Y'all... Everybody's phone. Everybody starts standing out recording. And I was like, oh boy, they're either going to riot or it's going to be the funniest joke ever. I appreciate that call

We could talk more about it later It's just an amazing Amazing weekend It was, it was an amazing weekend all the way around And thank you very much And for everybody who was super nice to us We really appreciate that We're not doing any more shows

Everybody's like, are you opening in LSU? We are not Oh, for Garter? They're raging idiots right away Well, a lot of people are like, hey, We think you should do a stadium act Yeah, right, after that Okay

They didn't really see that It's time for the good news With lunchbox Tell me something good Teresa was at foot locker with her son Xavier in Chicago celebrating his 16th birthday and she was like, pick out some shoes

and Xavier finds a pair of Jordans and she's like, ooh, those are a little too expensive I know you're doing great in school and you're a great kid but I can't afford those so they're waiting in line, they're going to buy another pair of shoes when the person in front of him hears this conversation and he secretly says to the cashier

and get a pair of Jordans in his size on me. It's awesome. And then he turns around and hands him the Jordans and walks out. So how do you feel about that? Is the person's name in the news? No. Okay. Which is, I mean, if you're going to do it.

You say plaster your name. Yes, plaster your name. They probably didn't do it for the news, though. I understand, but if you're going to do something that's going to make national news... But you don't know. You're probably just doing it for the goodness. Some people don't care about that. Some people literally are just doing it for the person.

Believe it or not. Let me say this. I think it's a great story. Like, I could not love it more. Now, let me pivot. If this was you, what would you do? I'd probably say, hey, make sure you tell them if this goes out. I'm lunchbox from the Buy a Bone Show. Here you go, man.

Make sure you tell the news. Would you do it? Would you buy the kid the shoes? Well, I wouldn't buy George. I never bought myself Jordans. Are you kidding me? So, no, I would not buy the Kid Jordans. Okay. Well.

I mean, as much as I want to make the news, I mean, it's great. but if I haven't bought myself something I'm not buying it for someone else you get what I'm saying I'm picking up what you're laying down Yeah like those Jordans are nice And I'd like me a pair of Jordans But mm, not buying a kid a pair of Jordans

Because see here's the thing Now this is telling me something bad Okay go ahead Here's the thing about a 16 year old in Jordans You know how quick a 16 year old's foot grows Not really once you're 16 It kind of stops Oh no way guys

16's when you're in it How do you know? As I've been 16 once So have I Well okay maybe you stopped growing at 16. I'm growing now. See, that's what I'm saying.

You can't. Bobby, are you really? I'm telling you I'm growing right now. Okay, listen, this is an awesome guy. Love it that he did that. The kid now has got a pair of Jordans. As someone who couldn't afford nice shoes and got made fun on my whole life.

Like, I love that story. And lunchbox, thank you for adding your perspective. You're welcome. It's always helpful. And I think we'll move from here. Good? Yeah, it's all good. All right.

That's an awesome story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. For inspiration to reach your goals, Join Ben Nimpton to get on track to make the seemingly impossible possible.

Netflix estimates 100 million households are sharing passwords. We've talked about maybe they'll charge a little more, maybe they'll do this, that. But what we do know now is a global crackdown is coming. When I hear the word crackdown, that sounds scary. Yeah, I agree. Like somebody's going to die. Bullets are going to come from the TV. I don't know what's going to happen.

But this does seem more serious than we normally thought. That's from CS, or excuse me, CNBC. Netflix has more than 100 million. additional households, we're likely using the shared password, and to them, that is just money they're not getting, that people, it's just all the money. Yeah. Because people are taking something that they didn't pay for and using it. Now, Lunchbox is a big password user of other folks.

Yeah, I use, I mean, my mother-in-laws, my cousins for Disney. I mean, that's a great, listen, if they're going to allow you to do it, why don't you do it? So they're not anymore, though. They're going to crack down. No, no, no, but what are they going to do? Are they going to come to my house and say, oh, you can't do that? hilarious if they do. Yeah.

And I would like to volunteer. Off air, Netflix, I'll give you his address. No, no, no, no. If you want to be the guy. I mean, I'm willing to pay an extra couple bucks a month to share. Then why not just pay for the service? Because it's only $2 compared to like $13. Yeah, you can piggyback for $2.

But I don't know that that's going to be what they're doing fully now. Because again, this is new information. So, a heads up, lunchbox. So there was a whole story about Iggy Azelia. You may know this song from her. She was on social media and she was like, this airline, American Airlines, they're awful. They stranded me and my kid and we don't have any luggage. She just went off.

And everybody's like, ooh, you're going at them? Well, now the airline's like, no, she got there so late. Like, this is not even accurate. So, according to staff working at the Miami International Airport, the Australian 31-year-old arrived late to the terminal at 5.30 for a 6 p.m. flight to Los Angeles. She checked her bags, but somebody got held up at T.S. which happens and then they left. Love it. This is on her.

Oh, because she didn't show up an hour before? Yeah. And she has to go through regular line if she's Iggy Azelia? Yes. Right away, Iggy Azelia? Yeah. Like, isn't she famous? Yeah, but it's still.

It ain't like it's Justin Bieber and then the airport's going to go upside down because she's in there. So like Justin Bieber, you don't think he goes through them. He has to have a special entrance, right? He probably has a own plane. He probably, yes. That's what I was going to the airport. I doubt he's going to the airport.

But if he does, let's say an international flight. He's going to take an international flight to Japan. He'll probably go through and get taken through a special place. Not because they go, Jesse, you're better than everyone, but because they know there'll be a riot in the airport. Yeah, mayhem. So it's to protect everybody else. But mostly he's on a plane that's not American-A-Ly.

So maybe Iggy's not on his level? No. For sure, Iggy's not on his level, yes. The Mike Tyson story, speaking to airplanes. You know, you see this video, and there's this guy. being an idiot. So have you seen the video, Amy? I have not. So Mike Tyson is sitting in his seat in first class. And behind him,

this kind of goofy, I'd say he's like 30 years old or so. He's drunk, too. He's drunk, he's like, Mike Tyson. He's like over his head. Just mess him with Mike Tyson. Why you'd mess with Mike Tyson? I don't know. His name is Melvin Townsend the 3rd. And so he's just, he won't stop. Well, Mike Tyson just, too, too,

starts punching him. Oh my gosh. And so this dude's hired a lawyer. so you can't you can't mess with anybody like that but Mike Tyson but especially Mike Tyson did the antagonizer

did he lay his hands on Mike Tyson or was it all like annoying supposedly he threw a water bottle is what I read yes I didn't see that part on the video but he was like trying to get Mike Tyson's attention and Mike Tyson was like not having any of it but why would you ever hear that saying don't mess with the boy and get the horns

yeah the guy got horned hard and I don't feel bad for him and I hope Mike Tyson doesn't lose I hope the judge goes Okay Mike Tyson you've lost this case $1. Pay the guy $1

and sir you're now humiliated and don't mess with somebody on an airplane like this Also what's amazing is when this idiot He does it And then these news outlets Dig into his history He's been to prison twice for fraud

And it's like Do you really want all that out there? And I just think he was drunk And oh he was so drunk Think it through Justin Beaver and Dan and Shee Are being sued Over the song 10,000 hours

Let me play you the song that we would know 10,000 hours? I tweeted about this Friday, but justice for Dan and Shea, justice for songwriters mostly, because people will have something that kind of somewhat sounds like it and they're going to sue.

And so Ed Shearing gets it a lot. And again, there are only so many notes and so many chords, and there are millions and millions people writing songs and using them. So, but I'll play it. And yes, there is a little part of this that goes,

Beow-da-d-do-do-you-oh. Okay. Well, if we're going to say a whole song was stolen because of this, then I guess I'm going to stop writing hit songs, too. You heard me say it. Don't, don't please. I know, I know. But here you go.

Ray, one more time, play 10,000 hours. Here's a clip of first-time baby as a holiday. Does it kind of sound like it yet? Yes. A little bit. A little bit. But there's no way if I'm a judge. I'm going, yep, that's it.

And there's also a guitar part. It goes, ba-d-d-d-do-do-do-do-do-bo, then it changes. That's such a common melody. It's just not enough. I know. Yeah. So, oh, you... No, I'm like thinking...

You sound like you're convinced that Dan and She were going to jail. All right, let's hear it, Amy. No way. Justice for Dan and Shea, I'm just like, to me, the only thing that would be obvious is if she was singing, I spend 5,000 hours or something, and then they altered it. Because, yeah, it just, it's similar, but so many songs are going to be. Well, so they're soon because the melody. obviously, which is that,

but da da da da da da da da da da da and not the words. Oh, well, good thing. So, and yes, I will tell you there is a, it's similar, but it's not enough for me to go they stole the song. There are just so many ways, only so many ways you can make music. And then what? Did they just hear that song one day? Yeah, how did it come across their desk?

Exactly. But you never know. Here it is one more time, 10,000 hours. I'd spend 10,000 hours And then here it is Whatever this song is called First time, baby It's even not so close to me

It's not even kind of But no dude Then it changes No way justice for Dan and Shea All right A power ball jackpot is approaching Half a billion dollars Get ready to dream big

Or in lunchboxes case Keep on dreaming big the Powerball Jackpot is nearing half a billion dollars. Lottery official says nobody picked it on Saturday night's drawing. Tonight's drawing $421 million as of right now. It'll probably be higher than that.

New York Post has the story. Lunchbox. I'm $100 in and I'm going to probably go get another $100 worth of tickets. That's so much money just being. Yeah. Did you read how much it was? It's been that way a lot of times. Yeah, I know.

But if I can win $420,000. million dollars. Well, I agree with that. If I can win $420 million, I'll happily invest $200. Exactly. It's worth the investment of $200 to win $400 million. Okay. Misplaced decimal point ended up being a very good error for one lucky gambler.

On Twitter, a man calling himself Buffalo Bob Z meant to place a $2.50 bet on the Buffalo Sabers. He accidentally bet $250 and it made him $10,000. Wow! Made him $10,000. Hey, that sounds too much like that song.

Sorry about that. And so he's going to buy his wife a new dress, buy a new saber's jersey, a new dishwasher, and have a nice night out. I love it. That story was from a website called Oreo Speedwagon, which is a pretty funny name. And then finally, as we announced it earlier this morning, my residency's here in Nashville. We're doing the first two shows on June 17th and 18th. I'm doing a stand-up comedy show meets an inspirational talk show. So I called it because people always ask, do you curse?

I don't. It's called The No Bad Words, Comedically Inspirational, Nashville Only We're a lot. World Tour, June 17th and 18th, and get your tickets on Friday at bobbybones.com or Ticketmaster.com. Friday Central Time. So if you guys are going to come into town for it and you live in a different time zone, 10 a.m. Central Time. So do the math there.

But June 17th and 18th, we are doing these shows. It should be funny. You should leave there inspired. And hopefully it'll just be good. I don't know. Hopefully. We'll see how it goes. I've got about 80% of it written, but I'm always right.

and I do think it's an interesting concept that either will be amazing or I'll go, remember that time I tried that comedy inspirational thing? Yeah, that was a disaster. I think it'll be on the good side, though. I really feel strongly about it. And that's Nashville only World Tour? Nashville Only World Tour. Got it.

It's going to be a residence. We're going to do a bunch of shows. These are the first two, but it's Nashville only World Tour. All right, that's the news. Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. Spring is here, which means it's time to take advantage of the home debuts. low price guarantee.

If you find a lower price on the same product from one of our competitors, we'll match it. The Home Depot, how doers get more done. On the phone is Adam. Adam, appreciate you calling. Hey, buddy. Hey, what's up, Bobby? Morning studio.

Morning. Hey, so Bobby, I just want to say, what a show this weekend. I'm from Little Rock, and I made the drive to Fayetteville. and man, y'all absolutely rocked it out. Thank you. And by y'all, you mean Garth, and we did okay too, but yes, it was an amazing night. Yes, it was an absolutely amazing night. I'm a big Arkansas razor bat guy myself, so I agree that that's the best place on Earth.

And with Garth Brooks being in my favorite country music char, and with Bobby Bones just being my favorite overall guy, man, it was a night to remember. Well, thanks, man. I appreciate that. Anything else? Yeah, I actually got to meet you. if you remember, I was so nervous, I couldn't hardly hold my phone, and you took my phone for me and took a picture. You remember that?

Yes. No, it's... I took a lot of pictures. But probably... Oh, you know what it was? I got it. He came down from the side. I do remember.

He came down from the side, and he couldn't figure out... And I don't know. He was used... It's not an iPhone. It's like some phone I've never seen before. And I was like, we'll figure this out together. And we got the camera. We flipped it around.

We took a picture. Am I right, Adam? You are absolutely right, Bobby. You do remember. I just needed to get there in my head. Yeah. Well, I appreciate that. It's great to meet you and thank you for the nice call and the support.

And I agree. Garth was awesome. What a night for us. All right. Thanks, Adam. Absolutely. I actually had a question if I could get one question in. Go ahead.

You had a bet with your keyboardist. You said your keyboardist lost a bet and then had to sing the song a thousand miles of Vanessa Carlton. Yes. And I was just curious what that bet was. Because to be honest, if it was a bet, he, absolutely killed that song. It was the most amazing cover I'd ever heard personally.

So it seemed like he was ready for it. So Walker Burroughs, who plays Keys for us, who I took for American Idol to be in our group, he's so good. And I knew if he just played a thousand miles about Vanessa Carlton, randomly, people were like, why are they playing this song? So all I did is make up a story. He lost a bet. Now he's got to play it.

Which allowed people to embrace it. Like, ha ha, let's really see if this guy. And then he crushes it. So there really was no bet. It was like a way for me to warmly welcome a song that maybe some dudes would be like, I don't like this song. But they're like, oh, you lost a bet. This is pretty good. That's all.

Just a little way to make Walker feel good and make the guys who like the song out there feel good about liking it publicly. So that's it. There was no bet. I was just messing with you. Awesome. All right, buddy. Well, I actually called, I told my wife, I said, babe, he did it too good for it to be a bet. All right.

Well, thanks, Adam. Hope you have a great day. All right, bye, everybody. Bye, Adam. All right, let's do what's the haps? Hey, hey, what's the hats? Amy, I'm going to start with you. What's the haps from the weekend?

Well, my daughter had her birthday party, and I decided to bake the cake that she wanted from some YouTube Korean cooking show that was very... You tried to bake a cake from a YouTube Korean cooking show? Yes, and let me tell you, the recipe wasn't listed out, like, in the description of the YouTube video, like sometimes it often is. So you just had to watch the video, play-by-play and take notes,

and figure out what was next. All that sounds hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I watched it multiple times. The measurements were in grams, not cups and things we use traditionally to bake here. And it turned out pretty horribly. Oh, it wasn't good. I mean, A for effort, to be honest, for her party, there was 17 girls that showed up,

and she kind of looked at it. And she said, Mom, can we save this for my actual birthday on Monday when it's just the family and use the backup cake for my friends? You get a backup cake? Yeah, I bought a cake from the store. So that's what used for a friend. And tonight at dinner, we will cut into the peach Korean cake. So we'll see, but it does not look.

Like, this video on YouTube has 11 million views. She's clearly good at what she does. So it's just hard, next level. Well, we appreciate you trying. A forever. By we mean loving people everywhere. It's a loving thing to do. All right, hey, what's the hats?

Eddie, what's the haps? Well, guys, I was driving down the road, and I saw a sign on a light pole. That was crazy. It blew my mind. I can't believe that somebody really needed this. But it was a sign written in marker and it said, need a babysitter for my kids.

And it had a number written down. I'm like, what? This is how you're going to look for a babysitter? I mean, this is like a girl, like writing out on a post sign. I need a boyfriend. Call me. That's crazy. That's so dangerous.

So, okay, parents, what do you think? I don't know. You still get to interview the people. Yeah. Like, if you're desperate. Tenth caller watches my kids. From the streets? Yeah.

Hey, did you see it? What? The sign? I did. Yeah, exactly. And I thought it was... So that means people like you. I probably see it too.

And there's good babysitters to probably drive by that. Like, man, I could use some cash. I'm always looking for more families to babysit for. Heck, what's the number? I mean, weird if she just takes somebody random without talking to them. But it does give her a big base to choose from if she can't find somebody good. I feel like finding a babysitter is, like, dating. Like, ah, let me go on some dates.

And then. Oh, I have a friend of friend. They'll hook you up with them. Sometimes in dates you get on dating sites. No, it's so scary. Great point. I couldn't believe it. Okay, but think back in the day, or maybe people still do this,

I remember seeing on bulletin boards or random places looking for a roommate, and there would be a phone number. That's true. And you would call, so I don't know. You interview them. Exactly. I don't hate on it. I just think it's a little more old school.

I feel like this kind of thing maybe used to happen more. There you go. Hey. Hey, what's the hat? Yeah, but it's just because it's old school I mean it's right. Just for the record. Thank you. But I think this is okay. Lunchbox, what's the house?

Man, there's been something bothering me for over a week now. Last weekend when my wife and I were at the airport in Florida, the guy Jeremy working the little ticket counter, he kept calling my wife, Sunshine. Oh, Sunshine, let me get your bag. Oh, Sunshine, here's your boarding pass. Oh, Sunshine, this. And for a week now, I'm sitting here going,

was that dude hitting on my wife? Like, why did he keep calling her? Sunshine. Oh, Sunshine. You have a great day. Sunshine, come back and see us. And I'm like, why is this dude call my wife Sunshine? If you thought he was hitting on your wife, why didn't you say something?

Because I don't think he is. He's probably just a guy that uses that word. But why, if you, again, felt threatened or he was being disrespectful to you by hitting on your wife, why don't you jump in and say something? Well, because I know she's going home with me, but I'm like, dang, dude. So you're okay with any of a guy saying anything to your wife

in front of you as long as you know she's going home with it. I mean, she's not digging their chilly, right? Right, right. So you're okay with it. Yeah, I mean, you can tell her she's hot. That's cool because, like, she's mine, so what's the big deal? But I just felt it was weird. Sunshine, oh, sunshine.

What did he call you? Nothing. He even addressed me. He's like, here you go, sir. What would you have like to have been called? I don't know. Honeybunch? No, no, no, not from him.

Bright moon? No, but it was just weird. And so then when we walked away, I said, how are you feeling today? Sunshine? My wife goes, knocking off. Do we think he was hitting on her? No. No, it's just something he said.

Okay. What's the Haps? Hey! What's the Hats? I'm going to put Tressa on real quick because I was going to talk about this anyway. Hey, Tressa, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Doing pretty good. Well, I'm from Bay of the Larkensaw, and I actually was there on Saturday, and I went in super early, so I didn't miss you.

It could not wait when you announced on April 1st or April 2nd, I guess, that you were going to be there. I mean, I was so excited that you were going to be there. be there. But it was so awesome. You were just absolutely incredible. And being somebody that's from Arkansas, I'm from a very, very, very small town in Arkansas, just like you are. It just made it so much more fun to get to just kind of relate with you on that small town level. But the one thing that was just, to me, was just the best part of the entire night. It wasn't Garz, it wasn't Trisha, wasn't anything like that. It was you coming off the stage and your wife with her arms,

up in the air greeting you and being so proud of you. It was not rehearsed. It wasn't anything. It was the most genuine thing. You coming off of that stage and having her arms out and just wrapping around you was so, I mean, she was so proud of you. And you could just see how much love that you guys have for each other and just sitting on that side and seeing that was honestly the best part of the night for us. Well, thank you. She was extremely supportive. Even wearing red cowboy boots for the occasion. And you know, she's an Oklahoma girl. She's a big sooner. She said that, because

I went out and we called the hogs, which is the thing we do in Arkansas. And she said, you know what? For the first time my life, I called the hogs too. And I said, oh, being supportive, she goes, no, I just don't want somebody to give me on video and not doing it. But she did it and is awesome. And, you know, she just lugged around with me all the day, the day before, you know,

on the athletic center, just a plus supportive. And so I'm going to, as a gift, and thank you back to her. We're going to do something this weekend pretty cool. But we're going to perform at Oklahoma Stadium, and she's going to perform and I'm going to wait for her. And you give her a big hug when she gets off.

Extremely supportive. And there's a whole message about that on my Instagram. If you guys want to go see it, Mr. Bobby Bones. All right, that's what's the Haps? Hey. Hey, what's the Haps? I thank you. Bobby Bones show.
