Welcome back. Morning studio. Morning. Hope everybody had a great weekend. Let's just get right to it. Lunchwalk's had his garage sale over the weekend, finally. Here's a call asking about it. I was just wondering how lunchbox's garage sale went. And what I really wanted to know is did he get to keep the money or did his wife get to keep the money?

You know, since they do have separate bank accounts, whose money is that that they got from the garage sale? That's a great question. So it finally happened. You didn't want it to happen. You felt like it was a bad image for you. Yes. Because you're so rich and famous. I'm famous.

People are going to think I'm poor. I think I'm having financial problems. Maybe we're getting kicked out of our house. So we have to get rid of some of our stuff. all that goes into it when you're having a garage sale that's what people think when they come to the garage sale. No, it's not. It's literally about anybody that's having it. Never.

Let me tell you. A garage sale is a lot harder work than you guys think. No, I've had them. It is exhausting. Yeah. I mean, you are up the night before, really late, trying to get it ready. And then you've got to get up bright and early the next morning. Before the sun comes out, because people are ready to go. Oh, people need to get a life.

I mean, it is 6.15 in the morning, and we're still putting stuff out, and people are pulling up in their cars. This is why you get there early because all the good stuff is still there when you first put it out. It gets picked over by 9 o'clock. And so we would go garage sailing. We were in our cars when it was nighttime. We had already drawn a plan to where we were going to go when we were going to get there based on where we thought had the best stuff. So they're doing that because they know your best stuff goes out then and gets bought then. I get that. But I had to tell me, hey, we're not ready yet. We're not ready yet. Like we're not open for business.

Don't you even restaurants do that to you when they got stuff there? But we're not open. Yeah. I understand if I put hours that were, hey, we're open at this time. I didn't say I was going to be open at 6 a.m. So I mean, we didn't even get. price tax put on anything. That's how crazy it was. And it was so busy all day long. Did you get recognized? Oh, yeah. I mean,

I was selling some Christmas lights. And one lady and her husband came and goes, oh, those are Christmas lights that got you in trouble, huh? And I'm like, oh, yeah. And she's like, yeah, blah, blah. She starts talking to me about the show. I'm like, here we go. Five minutes talking about, you know, life and just things like that. She was like, maybe I should buy some of those Christmas lights so I can have some of the lights that got you in trouble.

Should buy them? No. She didn't buy anything. Oh, oh, nothing. No. So are you worried people know where you live now? Oh, they know where I live. I mean, yes. They know.

I saw people taking pictures. They didn't ask for pictures, but they were snapping photos of me standing there. Like, oh, look, I got a picture of lunchbox. Here's the clip of lunchbox talking to a potential customer. Yeah, don't spread any rumors that were, you know, we're bankrupt or we're getting divorced. We're not getting divorced. We're not, you know, we're still paying the bills on time. You know what I'm saying?

Because some people would like, look, it's like, oh, man, I'm sorry. They're going on hard times. No, no, we're not having hard times here. You know what I mean? Like we're doing okay, okay? Just so you know. So don't feel too bad for us, okay? I won't.

All right. I didn't hear you sell one thing. You're just telling people how you're okay. Well, she was looking at some of the clothes and I was just as she was going through it. I was just like, hey, why not if you're trying to sell? Be like, we are going through hard times. Then she goes to TMZ and it's like, hey, lunchboxes is going through hard times. She's 100.

Did you not hear her? She has 76. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. She's going to write a letter. Did I'm, I didn't think about that. But yeah, I mean, I was letting people know that my situation is not as it appears. Here is lunchbox talking to another customer. Some people think, you know, all, you're having a garage sale because you're broke,

but we're not, we're not getting kicked out of our house or anything. Don't say that. No, I'm just saying we're not getting kicked out of our house or anything. We're not, you know, broke, you know. Oh, no. People do yard sale when they have too much stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

All right, I'm just making sure you just don't. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? I was worried. I told my wife, I was like, everybody's going to think we're broke. Uh-uh. You're doing damage control of your own yard sale for no reason. Yeah.

Okay. And here finally, here's how much you made. Let me tell you. I was so tired at the end of the day. Finally, the garage sale wraps up. I mean, people stop. It starts dying, dying around noon. And we stayed out there until 2 o'clock hoping, you know, to get rid of the rest of the stuff.

We go in and we count the money. And let me tell you, I didn't realize how much money we made. I pulled it out of my pocket. I mean, I had a big old wad of money. You want to guess how much we made? $300. Yeah, $250. $100.

$100. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Money, money, money, money. $474. Wow. Woo, woo, woo, woo.

And I get 70% you get 30% since I did 70% of the work. Oh, stop that. I did so much. Was I out there? Most of the time? You are out there. Okay. So you agree.

70%? It's funny. It's trying to get dirty in there. Stop it. Stick liners on the? So you made it 400 bucks? I made $474. What do you get?

What does she get? I get 70% She gets 30% That's not true. No, no, no. I did 70% of the work, guys. Like, 90% of the time she was in the house. Like, I was out there, like, hustling and, oh, you know, how much is that?

That, boom, boom, boom. It was unbelievable how she was always, the kids needed something. Okay, but she's taking care of the kids. But it actually sounds. Why did you do finger quotes over kids? Does it have a kid. Here's the thing. Three of them.

The kids didn't need anything. Like, she was just in there hanging out. Take care of should have been in quotes. Not the kids. Listen, I'm glad you made $500. It's awesome. Would you do another one? No.

They are so tiring. I mean, I took a nap out of that. I was so tired. I put the kids down three hour nap. He put the kids down. I put the kids down and I napped for three hours. It was amazing. All right.

So overall, you give this whole situation, A, what letter grade? Probably a C plus. I mean, the money was great. The hard work was very exhausting. All the pressure on my shoulder is being recognized. It was very stressful. going to buy? I don't know. You know, I'm probably thinking I'm going to do

a plane ticket somewhere. By yourself? That's like a one way. To get away from the quote unquote kids. Want to get away from the kids? Yeah, I think I need a vacation. All right. There you have. Good job, lunchbox. Thank you. On the Bobby Bones show now. Gavin DeGraw. Hey Gavin, I was

watching some of this docu-series where you're road tripping and I know that you also like to be in your bus. Do you hate flying? This is like, would you hate flying? Or are you just like being on the ground. Man, I don't really like airports. Because I hate flying.

I'm scared of planes. Yeah. You're scared of people, it sounds like. You know, I don't like bad interactions. And airports is like, it's like a recipe for bad interactions with people. You know, you taught me a lesson in an airport once. It was a couple years ago. That's pre-pandemic.

And I think we were sitting next to each other or near each other on a flight. And we had both been stopped going through the airport. were, but you were very efficient and very nice to people. And I would be like, yeah, let's take it. I would take like 10 minutes and you're like, no, here's what you do. You go, yeah, give me your phone. And you take the selfie for them and you give them their phone back and everybody wins. And so that's the move.

That's the lesson. Yeah, your lesson was they're going to be like, well, I can't get my camera ride. I can't. You say, you just take the phone from them. You do that. You take the selfie because you know exactly how to do it. And you hand their phone back. That's true.

Everybody wins. It's a lot faster. And it looks good because you control it. Because you've been doing it a million times. Right? You know who did it the best, who I saw do it? And I was like, he's knocking this out of the park. Ed Sheeran.

I was with Ed one night and things were blowing up for him. And I was like, man, this guy's really good at this. Look at that angle. Way to hold that phone steady. He's got it down. I got out the mole skin. I was like, jotting it down on pen and paper, you know. I remember this, 30 degrees.

I've passed your knowledge to multiple people. Yeah, the same way Ed taught you, you taught me, Gavin. That's amazing. It's going generationally at this point. Hey, man, let's do this. It's like you'll save time. You have a better picture. Just say, hey, yeah, let's take a picture.

Give me your phone. Boom, take it. All right, there we go. I love it. If you're not too heavily caffeinated, the picture's pretty good. Otherwise, it's a little shaky, a little blurry. Forget about it. The caffeine hits me hard, man.

I'll drink an eight balls worth of it, and I'll take the selfie for it and looks like an earthquake happen. Oh, congrats on the new record, man. It's so good. Thank you. I was lucky enough that you sent it over to me because, you know, I'm just a fan of you musically anyway. Thank you.

And, I mean, it's, and we're going to play something from it just a little bit. But also, and I'm not sure if you know all who's been bragging about the record, but I would be considered like a half-toaster. There's a podcast called The Morning Toast, and they were bragging on it and playing it to a pretty big podcast. And I was like, I know that guy. Wow, thanks. Yeah, so I didn't do it. Mine's right now, but theirs already happened.

Well, thank them. I think them, too, man. So the record is really great. So when this thing comes out, well I guess before it comes out like how long do you work on an album like this and do you feel like musically sonically this is

I don't want to say a change it definitely feels a little more in the loveliest way mature like this album do you feel that you like that appropriate way to describe it I think that's spot on you know record came out on the 20th of

May and you know I'd been holding it back because I didn't know if it was the right time to put it out for a long time. It's been done for a long time. But, you know, the world was all upside down, and my personal life was all upside down. And I wasn't sure when's the right time to put out new music

and when does it feel like the right time and also at the same time, how am I going to serve the songs to my fans? I didn't want to just launch this thing out, you know, out of a cannon and hope people heard it. I wanted to kind of deliver it to them personally and go out and play little rooms. The tour I just did, I went out and I played rooms that were the size of the rooms I played before I ever had a record deal. Like the, even on launch, the actual release day of the record, we played The Bitterrand,

which is the first place ever gave me a gig in New York City. You know, it holds 150 people, 200 people. I just felt like being in those environments was the right way to serve the songs to people who've been with me for a long time. The audience is basically what changed my life. So I wanted to serve them the songs the way that I used to serve songs

before I had a record deal. Get up on stage, talk about the music, talk about my life, and, you know, here's a song about it, and all these things happen, and then just make it run, right? Make it run. Yeah.

Yeah. And, you know, making this record, it was heavily personal. You know, there's a lot of loss in the family. I lost my mom and then two weeks later, my grandma died and then six months later, my granddad died, and then COVID happened. And then my dad got diagnosed and he died. And, you know, I'm watching all that stuff

happened around me. But I wanted to finish the record while he was alive. I wanted him to hear the record. That was my timeline. My timeline was finish it for dad, right? Whenever, you know, hopefully before I lose him. So it wasn't going to be. a business as usual album. It wasn't going to be, hey, let me write some songs, and I hope I

get some hit songs, and it just had nothing to do with that. It was just different. The world was different. I'm different. And for me to go on and just do business as usual, cutting records just in hope so. Man, I hope it catches on. It just wasn't going to, it would be disingenuous. and I can't ignore the things that happen to me or to them or to the world as a whole, you know, and just launch a record and, hey, this is so people dance. That's just not how I feel, you know. The world changed, and I change with it. I'm 45 years old.

I'm a grown man for me to go out and just trying to, you know, do my happy dance. It would just be silly. Yeah, I was listening to it again. I'd spend some time with it when you sent it to me. Then I was listening to it again. and the track that hit me always every time was chasing when. I'm going to, Ray, if you play some of this, here's some of Gavin's song, Chasing Win.

You know what's interesting too is Dave Kopp produced this, right? And Dave Kahl's worked with a lot of our favorite artists here in town. He's genius. I took a meeting. Well, he took a meeting with me, which I didn't expect because, you know, who am I? And I met him in Midtown here. And we did lunch. He was he and I.

And I was expecting some old geezer to walk through the door, because I heard his name so many times, you know, and he had so many hit records. But he walked in, he had cooler hair than me, and he was cooler than me, and probably younger than me. He said, what do you want to do? And I said, I need to get all this stuff out of my body,

and I don't want to co-write with anybody. I want to go back to writing alone like I did with the first few records. But I think you're the best producer in the world for the kind of record I want to make. And he said, with some expletable, is let's do it you know and a couple weeks later we were in the room and um you know he he brought in some ace players and i brought in the best guitar player i know this guy right here billy norris and uh and uh and we we just started recording and um and i think that dave's influence over the record

as a whole was something that took took it to to heights i couldn't have i couldn't have seen and um my my vision for it was more linear than his um his um his His vision was much bigger than mine. And he really challenged me in the studio, which I really appreciated. I think we all work better under pressure anyway. I think everybody needs to have somebody kind of put the thumb on them and challenging him. And I think what he did and what he demanded made the album a whole lot better than I ever could. Gavin McGraw is here.

Got a new album Face the River. We're going to play Ford in just a few minutes. But when I think about, you know, somebody just says your name that, that melody of chariot just sits in like on the back when it's like hey you know I was listening to Gavin McGraw and immediately it's oh chair that just that melody

I'm assuming when you play you play all the hits like your shows you pretty much right of them? Do you know them all because you play a little bit of chariot just to get that bug out of my ear? Oh absolutely just played a hook sure that's the part you know yeah I think I know more

but that's the part that sits there yeah all right here we go three four Oh, cherry Your golden Waves are walking down Upon this I'm singing out loud To guide me

Give me your terrain Nice All right, I'm good That worm is gone You know Sometimes you've got to feed the worm And the worm's full And the worm goes away

Cool. Can we keep talking? Yeah, of course. Okay, cool, cool, cool. So, Chariot was one of your first singles. I played it on radio. Wow. It was one of the early ones, right?

Very early, yeah. Like 2005, 2006, back in that day? Somewhere in there was a funny little group of song. The timeline is really weird because the first song, ever released. I don't want to say it didn't do anything, but it didn't do anything. It was called Follow Through, and then I got lucky with a song called I Don't Want to Be. And then Clive Davis loved the song Follow Through so much. He goes, no, re-releasing Follow Through. So he wanted to launch it again, and that time, for whatever reason, it was a hit. And then the next one was Chariot.

So it was in that first little group. But I see around 0-506. Everything's just flying so fast then. I'm assuming at that stage of your career. You know, it's funny. I was always afraid to acknowledge any successes that were happening. I was almost too busy to notice them, but as they were occurring, I was so afraid that they were going to disappear if I picked my head up to look in the rearview mirror and go, well, cool, look what just happened, you know? And I was, you know, I don't know, it's a personality type thing, man.

I'm always waiting for the other shooter drop. Yeah, same thing. Same. I get it. Yeah. So, you know, even when big things were happening, I just thought it was, oh, we have to do this. We're doing this. It's great. We're doing this. But we're doing this. I guess we're doing this because we have to do this because nothing's working yet. You know what I mean? And I don't know why it's a personality type thing. But, you know, you get on, you're lucky enough to come on it with show like this, me, and go, this is great. This is awesome. We definitely have to do this. Nothing must be working. Right? Instead of knowing, this is awesome. This is happening. Yeah, by a little, a lot of neurosis, because I live with it.

No doubt about it. No doubt about it. It's fear. And it's, you know, it's fear of failure and it's fear of, hey, man, did I make all the wrong decisions? And, you know, I joke about it with friends of mine that I always feel like I'm one more bad decision away from just playing the lobby of some hotel in the middle of somewhere, you know? And, you know, that guy. you know and uh you're just you just you don't have complete control of things you know you mentioned you got lucky with i don't want to be yeah again i was in pop radio at that point i don't know it from one tree hill that the show it's on that's yeah i don't know it from that i don't know it from being played on the radio so which is this chicken or egg here was it a single and then it got

big and the tv show put it on or the tv show put it on or the tv show show and then it went from there. Man, you know, it's funny with that song because I thought that was the obvious first single. My brother was screaming up all the time at me, you know, in our apartment in New York. He's like, that's the single. What's wrong with people? You know, like, they need to put that out first. But follow through is the one. And I got a phone call from a guy. The song hadn't been selected to be a single yet. And I got a phone call from a guy named Joe DeVola. and Joe DeVole said, Hey, I want to use your song for a TV show.

I said, nah, absolutely not. I don't even watch TV. TV's stupid, you know? And it's just, you know, I was New York, you know, East Village art, you know, snob at the time, you know. I was kicking around Alphabet City and, you know, 20 years ago, right?

So I said, nah, I don't even watch TV. Who watches TV? And I don't want to be associated. with it. He goes, listen, you got to help me help you. The song, I think, would be a big song, and I want to put it in his show. I said, no, no, no, I really appreciate it. You sound like a nice guy, but no thanks. He goes, okay, let me ask you another question. How much money you got in your bank account right now? And I was like, bro. He starts laughing. And he goes, listen, think about it. We're not going to touch the song. We're just going to put it in a place.

where people are going to hear it, you know? And that show wasn't on yet, right? Wasn't even on yet, right? Yeah. And Follow Through apparently had been picked up and put in another show that was in pilot, in pilot mode that never got actually, never became big of it. I think Val Kilmer was and it was about the porn industry, follow through. I don't know.

But anyway, but yeah, I said, you know what? All right, this guy's right. Guys like me aren't going to be watching this stuff anyway and associated with certain. things. I'm not going to associate it with a teen show. I'm not a teenager, you know. I was 27 at the time. I was adult. But I said, all right, do it. You know what, man? Just do whatever you want with it. I appreciate it. And you know what? Just do it. Just do it. And sure enough, the song took off. And then I walked into the label and I had a meeting with Clive Davis. And he said, with everything happening around the show with the song

you've heard clav talk uh the obvious next single would be i don't want to be and i was like all right great this is awesome you know so the song i originally wanted is finally going to be the the single and and it did it took off and you know fortunately that was a foot in the door in the door moment you know does that i don't know obviously it got you the place that you originally wanted, meaning it's kind of a weird way that happened. For sure. You wanted it. They said no.

You didn't want it to be on the TV show. Then you finally said yes, which got it back around to where you wanted it. Yeah. So, but do you look back at it being on the TV show and go, hmm, I wish I wouldn't have done it? Or I wish I would have done it. Or are you just like, you know what? Nailed it. It had to happen.

The looking back thing's always tough. Because I think if I would have made a different decision, I'd be looking back right now, thinking I should have changed something. else that, you know, based on wherever I was at that, at that point, right? As they say, no, uh, um, they say no battle plan ever survives combat, right? So, so, and, you know, of course, no matter what changes I would have made back then, there'd be some other, something else I'd have to look back on now and say, I should alter this. I should alter that. But I think the association, certainly at first was a great idea. Um, it opened doors that were absolutely well-ed,

shut to me because there are other artists who are always going to have priority at other labels. You know, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't Alicia Keys, you know, she was out, you know, a little bit before me, but under the same, same company. I wasn't, Maroon 5. They were out just before me with the same group of people doing the same marketing. So there are, there were already a couple of acts here that were going to get the most attention. and I needed to find I had to find a window to crawl through

and that's that was the window so then let me ask you to you this way when people go hey I know you from one tree hill that's the show right right it is one tree hill sure when people go I know you from one tree hill you're like oh

no I say that's awesome because you know that's cool okay yeah how you found me however you found me however you found me you know the fact that you know 20 years later if someone's coming up to me

saying they know me from a teen show, but they're still coming to my shows. That means somehow the music is making them feel good still, right? And if they're only coming for that one song, hey, God bless them, if they want to sit through two hours of music, you know, for me to get to a song

at the end of the night, you know, then cool, you know? There was, speaking of which, I think every artist probably goes through this, their first, probably on their first successful song oh you're going to love this okay

so because I was having a little success with that song early on and the song took off it's a big hit blah blah blah whatever people start coming to your gigs so then you know for about you know for about six months

you start feeling pretty good you're like this is pretty cool this is I'm having some success you know sadly you feel like you're a little bigger, stronger, you know. Everything's bigger on your body, right? So to speak. And so I thought, let's play the hit early tonight.

You know, let's do it like third. Everybody's gone by the fourth song. They heard it. You can't do that, you know? And everybody who's left there is watching. You just bored to death because they already heard what they came for. Play it again. That's it.

There was like two or three gigs. I was like, I know what I got to do. I got to play this one again. That's funny. You're going to play it again, you know? And so those are growing pains. Those are real learning experiences, I think. And this stuff you've got to be able to laugh at afterward.

Because every act, every act that's had a big hit, I know they know what I'm talking about. Whether they decided I'm going to try it out, play the hit earlier or not. I don't know if they've all done that. but I know that they know the crowd is really coming for the hits You got to play them But you got to pick and choose your moments

Do you Did you ever have a stage where you disliked playing it? You've played it so much? No Not ever That's good I'm not one time Thank God

Because if he said yes I'd have been like Well it's about to get real awkward No no No literally But you know it's funny because I do know acts Who talk about

I don't want to play my hits I don't want to do those anymore And I think to myself, does this, you know how lucky they are right now that they get to do this? You know, you got to pull them aside, but hey, listen, I know, you've been doing this song every day since he wrote this song. But must I remind you, you have one of the only jobs in the world that when you get to clock out, people clap for you and tell you what a good job you did. You know, name another one. you know name another job you could think of that at the end of your workday people go great job that was amazing tonight you know you don't get that nobody gets that you know get up there

and give them what they came for you're so blessed to be able to do that or you you you have forgotten how how tough real life really is if you don't want to do a song for three and a half minutes for people who saved up three and a half months to drive three and a half hours to watch you sing that song. You know, well,

Gavin de Graz here and he's looking to me when he said that. I'm sorry, man. That's so crazy that you would want to do that song for you. Listen, as a fan, I'm glad that you feel that way, right? And with that being said, yeah, don't play the whole thing. Just give me that. Just give me the hook of that. I don't want to have him yelling me a Bobby.

Yeah, I don't want to. So just give me the hook, and we'll call that today on that one. All right, here's Gavin the girl. Hit me with that hook. About I don't want to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here we go. I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately.

All I have to do sing to me and a piece of mind. I'm tired of looking around rooms wanting what I got to do. Oh, who I'm supposed to be I don't want to be anything other than me That's awesome Let's get to the new stuff now That's what we all came for

That's why we drove three and a half hours I don't want to yell at me again I was thinking about leaving Yeah, yeah You leave after that It's so good though Watch everybody do the studio, we're out I'm gone

Oh, okay So the song that I'd like for you to play That's cool as Ford. It's from the new record. Would you give me a little setup on this? And you wrote it and recorded it. So what led you to actually do both? Well, this song's about sort of recognizing that you've been caught up on the hamster wheel of life.

And, you know, you have that revelation one day of, you know, my stuff owns me. I don't own my stuff. Why am I doing all this other work? Or why am I picking up these OTs? Why am I doing these other things to pay for things that I'm not even getting to enjoy because I'm spending all my time just paying for them, you know? And you seek an advice. So, you know, I think if you're going to get advice,

hopefully you get it from somebody that you love, somebody who's smarter than you. and who's older than you. Because they're going to give you better advice. So this is a... The song's a conversation about somebody looking for advice, asking some old dude, you know, what do I do?

All right. Here's Gavin de Grohl. This is from the new record, Face the River, and here is Ford. Trying. I'm tired, but I'm trying. Until I've been climbing. Oh, I can't see the top.

Oh, man, can you help me understand? Well, I'm on this planet. Do you know when to start working for a dollar? Oh, that's how you make a man feel broke. Working for a dollar, that's the only thing I know. Just driving old for it. Count blessings and pray the Lord Have less make you feel like more

Leave work at the front door Work hard and you get paid Don't give them your best days Only so many left save Some of them up for the ones worth saving them for La da da la da da da da La-da-da-da-da-da-da la-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. That's so good.

Yeah, killed it, man. That's awesome. The song's good. The message is good. You're good. That's great. Don't yell at me anymore. It's awesome.

It's amazing. That's really great. The record's great, too. record is an album that I would listen to if I wasn't working in music and had to listen to music for a living, right? I mean, that's the music I like. This whole record is that. I encourage people to check it out. It's been out a few weeks. It's called Face the River. So many good songs. And listen, the feeling that you guys probably got by hearing that song and that message, those feelings are sprinkled all throughout the record for different reasons. Yes, sir. Because, I mean,

you sing that song there and it's like, dang, I should reevaluate my life and quit this job and walk off the air right now and go and spend time with my wife and screw this place. But, you know, that's the kind of thing. It's like, I'm spending too much time doing dumb crap. And that same kind of, oh, like punching the gut in a good way is all through the record. So great, great job. It's a heck of a project. I appreciate it, man.

I hate that so much crap had to happen for you to create this project, but I'm glad that you did it because I feel like hopefully it was therapeutic for you. Very, very. I appreciate that, man. Yeah. I appreciate that. It's been, it was therapeutic writing it and it's therapeutic recording it and therapeutic playing it every night. And it's been, it's been emotional playing it every night. Some nights are harder than others, you know.

But I feel like it's a message that I need to get out. And I think it's something really other people are relating to. And, you know, when you lose people, you become. part of this fraternity or this club that you never really want to be a member of. But we're all members of it or going to be. And I just think you have to take it head on. You know, my father always told me run to the lion. And I think you just have to take, you just have to take everything head on.

Everything you're worried about, everything that's scaring you, everything that you were putting off. There has to be a moment where you turn. and you go to it. And I just needed to go to it. You did. It's, again, beautiful art. Thank you.

Tragic circumstances, beautiful art. And just don't stop doing it. Yes, man. Don't stop doing it. Gavin de Graves here. You guys check out the record. It's Faced the River. There's a six-part docu-series on Facebook that you guys did about road-tripping as you're making, like, the creative-ish process.

Well, it was after the, after the, after the, the record was made, I got to go out and do another road trip, because I like road trip. I like flying. I like flying. Except I don't like being in the air. I wish I could fly on the ground. That makes sense. That's the move, man. That's why I don't say it. Why can we invent

that? That's the move. I can't fly on the ground? We're supposed to see the world from about five to six feet above the ground. Right where our head is. Right where our feet are on it. That's a guess. You guys check that out. And that's going to be it for now. my absolute favorite song of yours is not over you wow you still like that one or no yeah of course yeah i love it i wrote that with ryan tether i did not know that yeah i wrote with ryan tether and uh the spark of it one republic guy one republic yeah super just a wonderful uh pop songwriter specifically

just a genius of pop and uh we um he first played me that riff the piano riff up top that um Come on, right? We were in Blackbird Studios here in Nashville. He goes, yo man, what are you thinking of this? I was like, us. That's okay, I guess.

He was like, yeah, I think this would be great for you. Dreams. That's where I have to go to see you're beautiful face anymore. I stare at it. a picture of you and listen to the radio

hope, hope is a conversation we both admit we had it good until then it's alienation I know that much is understood and I realize

if you ask me how I'm doing I would say I'm doing just fine I would lie I'd say that you're not on my mind but I go out and I sit down at a table set or two

and finally I'm forced to face the truth no matter what I say I'm not over you Hey! Not over you That's awesome man I appreciate that. Thanks for walking us through that. I appreciate it. Goose bumps. That's it. Gavin de Groh, you guys follow them. Listen to the record

over and over again. Face the River. You will find your own story inside of it. He created music. It doesn't have to be the exact same story that you're living. I find songs a lot of times that speak to me in different ways and it was originally written and it speaks to me the same way that it was supposed to speak to me. So great, great body of work. Gavin de Grohl. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thank you. There he is. Yeah. Thanks a lot, guys.

The new season has already started filming in Montana. Zach Brown Band is releasing a deluxe version of their album, The Come Back.

It will feature Blake Shelton on their song out in the middle. The deluxe album is set to come out this fall. I'm Morgan. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. All right, so she works at a lottery counter and a guy comes up and goes, all right, I want to buy some tickets.

He says, I want to pick. And he picked his first two numbers. And then he said, hey, you that works the counter, why don't you pick your favorite two numbers? So she did that. And boom, he hit. And so he hit for thousands of bucks and then gave her $2,000 as a tip for picking those numbers. It wasn't like a million dollar jackpot or anything. But he definitely didn't have to give her a $2,000 tip.

Heck, he could have just left him. She'd never known, right? Yeah, but if she hadn't picked those two numbers, then he wouldn't want. I agree. I'm not on the side of don't give money. I'm just saying he had every opportunity to not do it. yet he still did, which is pretty awesome, which I have a feeling that some of us in the room

would have done this. Let's be honest, you win $20,000. Totally would pay her. If she gave you two of the numbers. Yeah. You'd give her a couple thousand? Yeah, or maybe even half. Whoa!

Half. If you give half, then you're not getting half back. Yeah, that's not right. Because taxes are taken out of better. Well, after taxes, she gets half. Okay. Oh, my God. You're crazy.

Why am I crazy? I don't know that I would do half because she didn't put her money up. She just threw a couple numbers at me, but I would definitely break her off a couple thousand bucks for sure. Okay, I didn't think about putting the money up, but okay. Yeah, Eddie? Yeah, I'll break off 1,000 for each number she gave me. There you go.

Really? Are you just saying? No, 100%. I have a feeling you wouldn't do it. Why not, bones? I don't know. 20,000 is a lot of money. But you're not going to get 20. You're going to get like 13?

13,000, she gets two. I get 11. We all win. Great. I have a feeling you wouldn't do that, though. Okay. Lunch bikes? No chance.

I would give her a thank you card. maybe we can take a picture together and be like, what a great story. We could be on the news, but she's not getting any of my money. She just does it. She just threw out two random numbers as she's working the counter. She didn't put up any of her money. Without her, though, he wouldn't have won. Without me, I went to one because I bought the ticket.

And I'm not going to see her and trying to make myself look good, Eddie. Well, Eddie, look at me in the eyes. I just want to be honest. Let's say that because of her, she gives you a couple numbers and you have $13,000. Yes. Do you give her $2,000? $2,000. Max.

You remember we were playing bingo and I told someone, hey, we win, I split it with you? What did I do? I split it with them. Yeah, but that was like 300 bucks. Well, still. And you'd already won twice that night. You know what? I take back the fact that I said that. Thank you. I have a feeling in real life situation, you wouldn't do it.

But if you say so, I agree. Hey, just give me that chance. Give me that chance to show you. All right, so shout out to Shirley Rose, who picked out the numbers and the anonymous guy who won thousands of dollars. And heck, three out of the four of us for being good people. There you go. Hypothetical.

You know what? It's hypothetical. I give her all of it. Okay. Yeah. I see, what a great guy. It's hypothetical. Why not?

It costs me anything to hypothetically give her all the money. All right, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. I feel like you want to show me a picture of something. I saw Amy grab her phone as we're going to segment. What's on your phone? Well, I don't know if you want to see it, but my son now thinks it's hilarious to text me pictures from his bathroom experience. What do you mean?

Like when he goes to the bathroom, number two, he takes a picture. The result? And then he sends it to me. Oh, my gosh. I don't want to see that. Yeah, me neither. Why did he text that to you? I don't know.

Oh, no. I thought, is this just a little boy humor thing? Is it for medical reasons? Yeah, is he like mom? I think he should, or he's proud of himself. Oh, no. I don't know. You tell him to stop?

Yes. And now he thinks it's so funny. Oh. Oh, can't stop old stuff. Oh, no. I'd never open a text from him. I'd be like, I haven't eaten in days, and I wouldn't look at it because I wouldn't want to see that. Don't show to me.

them. You don't want to say? No, no, no. I don't want to say it. Dude, what do you tell him? Please stop. This is not, or don't send these to anybody else, but mom. No, no, no, please stop. Well, yeah, no pictures. No pictures. It's like a josh, Jagabour in the 70s. No pictures. Yeah, I don't know. I just hope he's not texting him out to anybody. He has his own phone? He has an iPad. He's taking a picture with an iPad. He's having to get all cinematic. That thing's huge. Oh, no. Yeah, he doesn't have a home. Oh, no. Okay. He can text me through his iPad account. Oh, that's what he's been up to? Like an email. Mm-hmm. That, I've seen him in like a week. What else he up to?

Well, he had a friend over and they got locked out, so that was quite the experience. I get... Were you not home? I wasn't home. The friend has a phone, so text me and was like, hey, I was just down the street at the grocery store and I was going to be back. And he's like, somehow we've managed to get locked out. And I said, okay, well, I'll be home soon. So just play basketball or do something outside. And I'll there and I get back and Stevenson's very dramatic and is already spelling out SOS with sticks and rocks in our driveway. For people flying over instead of just knocking on the door. And what's funny is he just learned what SOS meant a week ago.

And so I actually thought it was quite clever and cute, but he was just very dramatic when I pulled up. We have been locked out for hours. It had been no more than 30 minutes. That's for sure. And he was spelling out SOS. Which by the way, SOS means? Save our ships.

Nothing. It means nothing. Save our ships. No, it literally doesn't get. It's what people have inserted the meaning to me, but it means nothing. It's made of just those specific sounds and the letters looking like a distress signal. Not save our souls. That's another one people call. Save our sushi.

That'd be weird, but okay. Save our sisters. It can be any of that. Listen, you guys come up with a lot of ideas for the show. And some of them get used and now always very appreciative. but some of them are so just we'd never do them. And I appreciate the effort, but that's how we get this segment called

Rejected segments. Although some of these are so dumb, I don't think you guys even really wanted me to air it. I think you're just filling out space. Like, I got to sit in some ideas. Turning something in. So these are rejected segments, that in a million years

we would have never done on the air. There have been times, though, where I've been like, wow, that's actually a pretty good segment. Let's do it. So let's see if any of those do this. We'll start with Lunchbox. Lunchbox welcome. Thank you, and I don't know why any of my segments get rejected.

I'm shocked when they don't make it. Lunchbox wrote, I am supper annoyed with my wife. Supper. What's you think he meant super? Spelling's not my strong point. He didn't care that much. He said, I think my wife's faking a back injury so she can just lay around all weekend. Turn me into a single dad.

I don't think she was hurt. Listen to these grunts and moans I've recorded of her and tell me that she isn't exaggerating it. Okay, you guys ready? Ready. This is our getting up off the couch, in the car, out of bed. I mean, it is so ridiculous. Here we go.

Okay, I'm not going yet. She sounds hurt. Aw, I did that for her. Come on. Like, that's exaggerated, right? No. Does she know you were recording her? No. Back pain is real. I'd be so mad if my husband brought in, me go...

Like, I mean, literally, so for three days, I had to do everything with all three kids. Like, she just sat there on the couch, like, I can't get up. Oh, like, the kids crying. Oh, you're going to have to get that. Like, what... Rejected, Segment. Rejected segment That's how I get you guys

Stop talking about it I just yell Next up Mike Dissan in Paintball roulette We get five different paintball guns But only one is loaded

Bobby Amy Eddie lunchbox and Morgan Get a chance to select a gun And we take turns Shooting each other The game stops Once one person Quits or goes to the hospital

Oh my gosh Go to the hospital That's a brutal bit I've been hit That's like some squid game stuff Right there Rejected segment Rejected segments

Also from Mike D It's a spinoff of one of other segments Where we do the employee of the month But instead we recognize the person Who is the worst employee of the month This person needs to show the most improvement And we list all the things they did badly last month That's hilarious

Worse That just would not be good for morale Rejected segment Rejected segments Morgan number two And this actually wasn't so bad I just I guess it didn't get to it

But you've been in three times different workout classes where the same guy keeps live streaming the workouts? Yeah, I'm like in the background of all of his live streams and I'm just working out. I didn't figure it out until all the way through a full workout class and I walk over and there's people like commenting on what we're doing. Is he a person in the class or teaching the class? No, he's a person in the class. Oh, he's just in the class?

Yeah. That's so weird. He's live streaming himself? Yes. So that others can work out with him? I don't know, but then the rest of us are in the background of it and we don't know that strangers are commenting on what we're doing while working out. Yeah, you should have to sign a consent.

If you're a teacher, I get it. Like, hey, we're going to live stream the class to people who can't get up here. But just somebody random? Yeah, it's just setting up on the side, like watching him go at it. Oh. That doesn't sound. Listen, I even watched him do ab crunches with his body.

Like, you know, his legs towards the camera. It was not a pretty angle. Wait, is this like a thing? Like a... Rejected segments. Lunchbox back in the mix here. Oh, hello. Lunchbox is mad at Sports Illustrated.

Swim suit edition. Oh, boy. Because they're not putting on models he doesn't know. Yeah, they put Kim Kardashian on the cover of the swimsuit issue, and I'm like, we already know Kim Kardashian. Give another model a break. And also, that's how we discover new models. We, what do you even need models for?

I mean, that's how they get their big break, and we get to see a new hottie instead of, oh, Kim Kay. We already see Kim Kay in a bikini all the time. They should, I mean. Rejected segment! Terrible. Rejected segments. Frustrating. Okay.

Ramundo saw on TikTok how he can remove excess skin from his eye for $20 and wants to know if he should try it on the air Yes tell us how Yeah I've had these styes on my eyelids They run in my family my grandpa had him my father has been my wife it annoys her it's right on my eye It's been there since rejected segment I did it rejected segment 20 dollars to remember yes he's gonna lose an eye He's gonna tell us and somebody's gonna do it okay but he could do it on air Yeah rejected segment I got one left

This one is from lunchbox he wanted to spill the tea on shady scuba Steve because he saw a shady deal in the parking lot and he doesn't think what scuba's doing is legal yes there was a car that pulled into the garage scuba went out there looked to his left right stuck his hand in the car person handed him like a brown paper bag wrapped up

scuba went and put it in his truck like no one was watching I was like hmm that doesn't seem very normal can ask you a question it wasn't like an Amazon delivery it was a cash for something like how did this go down? Let me just run this by you. Yeah. Do you like Scuba Steve? Yeah. Let's say he was doing a drug deal, which I don't think it was.

I don't know what he was. All right, but let's say he was. Would you really want to come in here and tell on him for doing that? I mean, if it's going down at work, like do that at your house, man. Don't bring that business to my work. But it's me at Jeopardy. Does it? But what was it really? Scoobo Steve, I don't know. It wasn't a drug deal, so I don't mind asking him this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem. Was it a drug deal? It was not actually the thing you're speaking into right now, that red microphone that I got you for Christmas. It was that. Oh, the guy brought it up here, dropped it off.

Yes, dropped it off. And I was trying to be secret about it because it was a surprise. Oh. Oh, that's it. So how do you feel, lunchbox? I feel good. I'm glad Scoob was not breaking the law. It just seemed weird.

You were going to just tell on them on the air? The car was all tinted windows, and it was just seen... That's every car almost. Just saying. Tinted a window. It had a radio. Two license plates, ma'am. Just seemed really shady.

Okay, well, those are all rejected segments. Amy didn't make the list. Good job. Oh, but I don't know. It's kind of fun hearing them. Okay, here's a bad one from you. A woman trusted Amy with her purse in the bathroom. Whoa.

Oh, yeah, that's a big deal. That's weird. Isn't that crazy? So she was in the stall next to me and her, like, toddler son was in there with her, and he kept throwing stuff out of her purse into the other stalls. And so when I got out and was washing my hand, she scooted it under. And she was like, can you watch this for me? And I'm like, this woman does not know me.

but I gathered everything and put it up on the sink and waited for her to come out. You look trustworthy. She couldn't see me through the stall. But why was that rejected? It could just not talk about it. Well, I wasn't going to and you're like, well, I don't want. Well, I had that on here. Oh, okay.

But I just thought, wow, this woman trusts me because I could have just walked out with her purse. No problem. There you go. That's rejected segments. Thank you, everybody. Yeah. Please. Rejected segments. Keep them coming.

Over to the voicemail line. to Amea who is 10 years old. I had a question for you. Why in the world have you not watched Lion King? That kind of makes me mad. Have a good day. Girl!

You are nine years... Oh, she got in trouble at the end of the call. Oh, my goodness. That's funny. And her mom yelled, You're nine, so she may have lied about being 10. That's funny. I didn't catch that.

I've never seen Lion King. I don't watch Disney movies as a kid. And so as I got older, I didn't watch Disney movies as I got older. I don't have kids yet, so I haven't. I'm sure I will, but I've never seen Lion King. I know the story. What's the story?

Lion walks into the jungle. Bartender's like, how many will it be? Yeah, he nailed it. Yeah, that's it. Lion's like, brer. We don't serve that here. Right? Yeah, and then he's crown king.

Cool, here we go. This is Ashley from Raleigh, North Carolina. I have a morning corny for Amy. What does a cat order from a Mexican restaurant? Parito. Also for Eddie. All right, bye. Amy for the cat, Eddie for the Mexican.

Yeah. Thank you. Perfect. The Bob Bowl show Here's Amy's pile of stories In a new poll, 83% of people say they'd keep it a secret if they won a lottery jackpot.

I think they say that but there's no way you can keep that a secret if you win $5 million or more. What's a secret? Hey, Chris, you got a new boat out there. Yeah. That's all, hey, hey, hey. Hey, Chris, you got a new truck.

Didn't notice. You're just keeping a secret. You say nothing. I wonder if there's a secret. some people that try to keep it a secret from like everybody in their life, like even their partner or spouse. No. I don't think you can pull that off.

No? That would be tough. Hey, Chris, my husband, you got a new boat. It makes you think of this other headline I saw this morning about a husband that was mad at his wife for keeping a secret get out fund of 30K. She built it up over 15 years. I don't hate it. Interesting.

You don't hate a secret get out fun? No. As long as the secret nobody's ever heard. Then you're always prepared. I did see in this lottery article, though, that. only 4% would share their money with coworkers. Yeah, I mean, it's not your family. I know.

Why would I share money just randomly with coworkers? That would be weird. What if you won the $500 million one? You even cut us off a little? This is not about me and us. This is about people and their coworkers. Most people don't spend every day for 15 years with their coworkers that are only their coworkers because they were friends first and brought them on.

Gotcha. So I would think most people would be like, I didn't give them my coat. That cubicle over there? That cubicle over there's crap. But there's no way 84% of people can keep that secret. And the dollar amount for people to quit their jobs, $4 million. That's what they need to win.

If I want $100, I wouldn't quit my job. That's how I know I'm doing the thing that's supposed to be doing. Oh, wow. Yeah. So this is not an ad, but I saw Sonic put out a summer snacking menu, and there's something on there that I was like, well, this seems interesting and I want to try. And it's called tachos.

Can you guess what that? Yes. By the way, not an ad. It's not. It's not. I have a sonic cup right here. I just saw, okay. This part of it is not.

Part of the paid Sonic sponsorship. I just was like, oh, tachos. We do love Sonic, though. Try those. But here's the deal. You can only order tachos if you have the Sonic app. And by the way, on the app, drinks half price. But this is not a mad.

This is not a mad. I mean, I've probably used Sonic more than anything else. That Sonic app. All right, what else? Well, Bobby, if you're ever in a coma for some reason, I have some songs that have woken people up. Yeah, what do you got? Living on a Prayer Bon Jovi.

Maybe you're hearing the song as you're in a coma, you're like living on a prayer. You just say a little prayer boom, you wake up. Oh, see? Yeah, wow, the words. What about Unchained Melody, the Righteous Brothers? This woke a woman up. No, I'd be like, oh, this makes me sleepy. I'm going to stay in a coma for a little bit.

James Blunt, you're beautiful. You're beautiful. I think I'd go ahead and kill myself. I kept hearing this over and over again. You like this one? I do like it, but I've heard it so many times. So I'd be like, this would have made me come back to Earth. And then Adele rolling in.

Well, let's For this particular girl, doctors were like, I don't think she's ever going to wake up. And then, voila, rolling in the D. I think everybody has their own come out of coma taste, right? Yeah. I can just imagine now I'm in a coma and, beep. Beep, it's quiet.

Yes. Beep. And Eddie walks in with a boom box, 90 style. Above my head? Well, sure, on your shoulder, on your head, lays it on the foot of the bed. Beep. Beep. He says, hey, man, it's me, Eddie.

I want to play you a song. Okay. And then I'm like, I'm still like, beep. And then Eddie hits play. He hits the tape player to click, ding, don't, clunk, don't. Huh? He's moving, guys. What?

Guys, get a doctor in here. He's moving. What? What? What? Eddie. Eddie, is that you? Here, I'm going to turn it up a little bit.

Eddie, are you still bad at golf? What year is it? Yeah, it's still me, Bobby. Oh, okay. And then I'm up. It's the end of the world. I sing right into it. That's it. You guys know what song to play now.

We'll remember that. But how long do you want to stay on the beeper? What? How long do you want to stay? Don't ever kill me. All right, that's it, Amy. Maybe that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories.

You and they'll find you? Yeah It's time to open up the mailbag You send an email and we read it on the air It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag Yeah Hello Bobby Bones

My husband and I've been married for almost five years We have two children together We're at the point where We're almost trying to determine whether or not To continue growing our family We got married he wanted one or two kids, I wanted four or five kids. Now he feels our family size is perfect as is,

but I don't feel as though our family is complete. I would never force having another kid on him, but I have received the same advice from so many people you may regret not having more kids. No one regrets having more. Obviously, it's a personal choice. It's different for every family, but considering that Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox,

and yourself have different family sizes, I'd love to know your opinions, and what the ideal number of kids is. How did you know? How do you know when your family is complete? Thanks, Adrian and Kentucky. P.S. loved you in O-Town. All right.

How many of the beginning did she say she has? They have two children together. Okay. Right. So, Amy, talk about family size for a second. Well, I have two, but I feel like the perfect size is about four. Wow. But I'm not.

Eddie with four laps. Four or five. My sister has four kids, and it's so cool. cool. I love watching them all together. And sometimes I'm sad because I don't have that and I'm not going to. But it's okay. I love my two kids. And occasionally I want a baby, but then that's just probably not going to happen. Maybe it will. We're not opposed to it. But I don't, I don't, I guess two is probably our number. You know, I don't have kids. I feel like probably to be what I'd like to max out. Twins right away. Dude, just get it over with.

Oh Yeah So, but that's all I'm going to say I don't have a lot to add here Except for I grew up with just a sister Well, I had a half brother I didn't know It was two steps

It was the whole thing It was a family tree Went in all different directions But I had a brother I liked it too I feel like two's good for us Eddie you have four kids Why don't you talk about it

Yeah so in no way Am I knocking the size of my family But I will tell you I have four boys And life Is a lot simpler and easier when three are around. With the four, it's chaos.

Just because there's just so much going on. And I have range from 14-year-old to 3-year-old. And it gets crazy. And I do, Amy, you're right. I do love the whole team vibe. Like, we're one player short of a basketball team. It's really cool to have all of us kind of go around to the grocery store together.

But man, that fourth one makes life a little more difficult. Maybe it's cool when they're like 10. Yeah, one's the older year. You're going to be so glad, like family gatherings later. Like it's just going to be so full of people. Or she could just have a 10-year-old. You could. I adopted a 10-year-old.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. That comes out of the womb, 10. Yeah, that's not. That would be really painful. It would. That's why I said I wish. And had all the development of a 10-year-old, and like you had spent time,

like you implant a chip in their brain of what you would have done, but they're 10 now and it's all good. That not thing yet? No, not yet. Not yet. Not yet. All right.

So, good luck. I think here's my advice to you. I have one more. You don't have to have four. Have three. Three sounds good. Three sounds good. Right on. And take the, take the advice of Eddie.

Three's awesome. Of what you want. Four. Can get overwomen. Four is a little tough. All right. Hey, thank you for the email. We appreciate that.

Around 8.52 a.m. Paramedics get a call. guy in distress at the corner of MLK in Chicago Street. They respond. They're out tending to the guy when a 34-year-old man walks up, jumps in the ambulance, and drives away. Oh, man. Was he drunk? Does it say? I just think you've got to be on something to make that decision.

Unless it's like... Bucket list. Yeah, but super bucket list. Or dare? You ain't getting away with... I ain't daring that one. All right, truth of dare, Bobby. No, it doesn't say that he was under the influence.

Oh, wow. Did he need to get somewhere? Doesn't say. He just says he jumped in the ambulance, drove it away, and boom. Was he in a hurry to get things done? Like Alabama? Did he rush and rush? Like life's no fun? Did all he want to do is live and die? Was he just in a hurry and didn't know why?
