Hope you had a good weekend. Welcome to Monday's show. Morning studio.

Well, let's get started. Go around the room and see what's up with everybody. His future and sports gambling isn't very very. bride and seeing him without a hat on is a rare sight. His name is producer Eddie. All right, you know our phone screener, Abby. She's been looking for love, right? It's been a storyline on the show over and over. I have the answer, guys. I saw it. There's a new TV show coming out on Fox. I think it comes out on March. And it's called Farmer wants a wife. It's like The Bachelor, but a bunch of farmers. Abby loves farmers. This is right up her alley.

She needs to get on the show. Abby, will you come to the microphone, please? I have two questions for you. First of all, good morning. Morning. Question one, would you go on a reality dating show? This one sounds cool. Okay. Number two, would you like to date a farmer? Yeah.

Okay. If this show is successful, they'll do a season two, and we'll make some calls. Would you go on Farmer wants a wife? I need to do research. If I can do research, can I look at it? Research on anything. Like, what it's about? What have I said?

No, Abby. It's about a farmer finding a wife. Basically, farmers, and they look, would you go on that kind of show? That would be cool. Is there a single guy? Abby will go on. Like she, oh, gosh. Abby, you wearing glasses today? Oh, they're the blue light ones.

It looks like you're going to a shooting range. It does look like that. They're pink or clear. It does look like I am. Okay, Abby, it's good to see you. You too. It doesn't look like she's about to get, take her air rifle out? This next man also goes by Jason Gibble,

but when it comes to making business deals, he can't even get a nibble. Here he is. everybody. Well, Bobby has been encouraging us to spread our wings and fly, chase our dreams, and I just want to let you guys know I may be leaving the show. I have applied for a new job. Breaking news. Okay.

Good job. Netflix is hiring flight attendants that pay $385,000 a year. And so I have put my name in the hat and they say they need independent judgment, discretion, and outstanding customer service skills, which all the things I possess. And it says you need to be able to lift 30 pounds. I can lift 30 pounds. What about experiences the flight attendant? I didn't say anything about that.

Does Netflix having an airline? Like what is? Yeah. Yeah, because you fly talent around. They have private jets. Oh. You fly talent around and then also executives. So this is a double-edged sword, guys.

Not only am I going to be making $385,000 a year. I'm going to be in front of execs at Netflix. And eventually they're going to be like, hey, you ever acted before? And I'm like, well, actually, I have. And boom, I was in bad out of hell. I was in Friday night. I won't say that, though. I won't say that.

that. So I'm going to meet the stars. And I'm like, hey, maybe you should come on set and try a couple of lines. So I'm going to be making a lot of money flying around the country. And you really should apply for that job. Yes. I'm going to. I hope you get it. I hope you get a callback.

I mean, how awesome would that be? Would you leave for that? That's a good money. Would you leave for that? Yeah. Okay. You heard it here first, everybody. Maybe by the time you get that job, we can get Todd Crisley back in here to be the guest host again.

Oh, the host. Yeah, be cool. Maybe from his luxury prison. You can face time him in. All right, lunchbox. Thank you. While we may never question her ability to drive, her toughest task last year was keeping a fish alive.

Here she is, Amy, everybody. So I had booked a guest for my Four Things podcast that I was very excited about. Her time is very valuable. She's an expert in her field, and I started recording with her, and we had been talking for 15 minutes, and I realized I didn't hit record.

Oh, that's not good. First of all, it's on brand a little bit, right? No, that's... It's been once. In the four years... No, I'm just saying in general. In 400 episodes. You're forgetful.

Yeah, you're a forgetful person. But go ahead. Ish. Yeah, is mortified, obviously. But it got me wondering, what would Bobby do in that situation? Would not have told them. Oh. I would have just kept going.

And then eventually revisited in the middle of other things, some of those first things. Oh. And then I would have reset it in the middle to use back at the beginning. That's why you're smart. But I wouldn't have said anything. Because I wouldn't have them the whole time going, Oh my God, what an idiot. Because you know for sure they would have been doing that.

They'd have been like, what an idiot. I'm never doing this podcast again. I'm telling everybody else about this podcast. It's only run by an idiot. Well, that's what she did then. No, you stopped and said, I wasn't recording. You said, oh, no. Oh, no.

I just said. Just keep going. I know. Oh, no. Just keep going. But also, part of my personality is just. Forget us at all that idiot stuff, by the way. I mean, talk about I still, I lost sleep over it.

It's like, ugh, the worst. I'm the worst. But I forgive myself. Yeah. But I, we started over. She was gracious. Oh. She was gracious.

I'd have sped through that stuff. I'd have got off that podcast pretty quick. I bet you're sure you're recording this? Okay. Ramundo from Mountain Pine, Arkansas. He's going to golf pebble beach with Eddie. Let's hope that he's ready. Bobby Bones.

Thank you. Thank you. Well, this is what I would say. And I wasn't going to lead with this this morning, but I just got this text from my friend, an SJ, says, hey, we're having a staff to because allegedly you recommended Emily the Criminal to watch and people on our staff are saying, not to hurt your feelings, that it was not good.

Uh-oh. I replied, wasn't me. I haven't seen that movie. But who on the show recommended Emily the Criminal? Me? I did too. And Mike D. Oh, you guys all liked it?

Yes, we loved it. I thought it was very entertaining. So what do you think about it when they say they didn't like it? Then they don't have very good taste. Are they idiots? Yeah. Maybe they didn't really watch it. Yeah, I don't know what they were expecting.

It's not going to win Best Picture, but it was an entertaining, like a movie like a movie like You're like, oh, like. And I did say it's low budget, so don't expect, like, high quality. But that storyline's amazing. Yeah. But don't, like, take it down and go, well, but, but if either you liked it, you didn't, it's awesome. There you go. Right, that's what we're saying.

We're not. We're not backing up. You know? We don't back down. I won't back down. Oh, Tom Petty? I think so. You guys are sticking with that?

Yeah. All right. My original one, too, and I'll roll over to this one as well. So sometimes I'll make cookies at home. It's a little something I do on the side. And I learned this from my. wife, but if you, I like chocolate cookies. I don't like make a peanut butter cookies. I hate peanut butter.

So usually I only do chocolate chip. And at first I didn't realize that they had to be salt. I kept waiting for them to get hard in the oven the first couple times I did it. And so I would push up like a fork on it. It would be way softly like they're not done. The thing is, they got to come out and then harden. I didn't know that, right? It took me like two batches to figure it out.

So I finally, I'm pretty good at getting them out at the right time. But then I take a little bit of sea salt, just a tad on the chocolate cookie. It just put a little on the top. Game changer. Game changer. Yeah, dude. I didn't salt on a chocolate cookie would be good. Are you serious? That is the most disgusting thing. No, it's not. It's actually not. I thought the same thing you're talking about.

I was at a restaurant a couple weeks ago. My wife ordered a chocolate chip cookie cookie cookie and I took one bite of it. It had salt on it and I spit it out. The absolute worst thing I have ever had sea salt in the box like my wife gets. It's a little bit of box. I got like this like like like salt baby. It's disgusting. It's good. You guys lost your mind. Salt on cookies. Get out. That's it. 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. I play guitar and I sing. I'd like to get your thoughts and critiques on my ability to do so. I watched Heath Sanders interview on how you discovered him and thought, why not give it a shot? Not that I believe I'm bound for stardom, but I would just like an honest opinion. I don't do social media.

I'm a rancher in southeast Kansas. I decided to just record something with my phone. I'm feeding cattle. I don't have a guitar here, so this is the best I can do at the moment. Love the show. Can't wait to get your opinion. Best regards, Adam.

And he sent me a clip of him singing, so we'll critique it right here. Go ahead. Pretty good. Yeah, not bad. If I just heard he's singing around the ranch, I'd be like, dang, Adam, you're a good singer. Really good ranch singer.

I feel like you have to get out and sing a bunch more because he's falling off his notes where he's hitting, but it's pretty good. I don't know that you're going to get discovered from that kind of clip. I think if you get a guitar and you go and you play a few places, you get some reps under your belt, you feel more comfortable singing and holding some of these notes. I think you have a real shot to have a shot, you know. Right now, with that, you ain't there, but you do have the promise of,

you know instinctually how to sing. So now it's just learning really what to sing and how to sing it. Bones, what if he does videos from the ranch while he's singing? I think if he's on a cow or he's the cows are around them, people love authenticity. So if he's, and he is authentically a rancher, I would record on the ranch. Oh, yeah. I'm picturing him singing while he's loading hay or building a fence. Sure.

Or if he can just kind of like lure the cows in and make it sound like, look, every time I sing, the cows come in. And then they all just like, sit down and they start swaying back and forth. That's what I'm talking about. Okay, now y'all are trying to choreograph together. There are a lot of people that sing really well on the internet, and you can be one of them. Or you can practice and get really good and be somebody who sings good on the internet, but also can sing good in person.

And that's true. So I think you're a couple steps away, but I think you have the promise to do it. But right now, you ain't there, but I don't mean you can't get there. But we appreciate that. I like these. And I would encourage more people to do them,

but I don't want to crash our inbox. Would it crash our inbox? If people started sending us clips? Yeah. Maybe you send us a link. Do that. Don't send us an attachment, but link it to like a YouTube or something. If you're like, and in the clip be like, hey, Bobby, I just want to see if you'll critique me. And then we'll critique him on the air.

Yeah, that'd be awesome. Constantly. This is a fun game. Dude, we can find a star. What'd you think of that guy, lunchbox? It's a no for me, dog. It's a no for now, but you can tell he knows what he's going. He can sing at a bar in Kansas.

That's fine. In his hometown. But guys, it's also on a telephone. But that's all we have to go with him, right? Eddie, I mean, I'm just telling you, he's not good enough. Okay. For what, though? He wants to be like Heath Sanders

and be discovered. He ain't there. Well, I don't think Heath Sanders was as good even then as he is now. So, right? We're all growing every day. I think if he puts the time in, he can actually get pretty good. Thanks, Adam.

Appreciate that email. You guys, if you want to send us a link to you performing, but in the clip, you got to be like, Hey, Bobby Bones, this is me. Don't just send me a clip of you from like 1996. You catfishing me? All you have to do is send it to us. Morgan, what do you got?

Mailbag at bobbybones. All right, thank you. We've got your email when we read it on your air. Now it's found to close Bobby's mailback. Yeah. It's time for the Bobby feud. Welcome everybody. So what we're gonna do here.

I'll ask you a question that thousands and thousands of people have answered. Let's see how you do. We always roll the dice to see who goes first. Number three, that'll be Eddie. Okay. You'll go first. Wide Open Country has a list of the top 10 most influential artists of the 90s. Based on fan research and their own.

Top 10 most influential country artists of the 90s. Got it. The strength of yours, Eddie. All right, I'm going to start off easy in the 90s, very influential. Let's go Garth Brooks. Garth Brooks. Show it to me. Number one answer?

One point, Eddie, good job. We give one point for the number one because it's the easiest one to get. Correct. Go ahead. Okay, Shania Twain, huge in the 90s. Inspired women all over the world. Man. Is that the answer?

Yes. I feel like a woman. All right, Eddie. Man, I feel like a woman. Top 10 most influential artists of the 90s. Let's stick to influencing women all over the world. Riba is on this list. Show me from Oklahoma.

Miss Reba McIntyre. At number eight. Big points there. Oh, wow. Oh, gosh. Why did I think of this earlier? Look, he influenced me to go water skiing. I'm not very good at it.

But that video of Chattahoochee, give me Alan Jackson. He wants Alan Jackson. Can he see Alan Jackson? Number six answer there, Eddie. You know who influenced me to start a band with my best friend? Brooks and Dunn. So I'm assuming they inspired everyone too to do this. Give me Brooks and Dunn.

Boots scooting, is that the answer? Number four, Eddie got 21 points right now. So, top 10 most influential artists of the night. 90s, Garth and Schneier are 1 and 2, Brooks and Dunner, 4, Alan Jackson is 6, and Reba's 8. Oh, man, let's go with inspired people to drink lots of beer. Mark Chestnut. Show me Mr. Chestnut? That was a punt. That was a punt. Amy.

Okay. Still a lot of points on the board. Go ahead. Well, I mean, my guy is George Strait. That's my guy. How do you influence people? How did any of them influence people? I told you every single one. Maybe he influenced other country artists.

Yes. Show me, George. Carry your love with you. Yeah. And people were looking for real estate. I feel like Oceanfront properties from the 80s, though. Just throw on that out there. Go ahead.

Tim McGraw. Of course. Show me Tim McGraw. Correct. Number 10 answer. And he has 17 points just like that. James. Look on. Okay.

All right. Well, golly, I got so many on here, but it's just a toss up at what's what, you know? So I'll pick another, oh, God, but Rieba was eight. Okay. And he was 10. Let's go with, what, did Eddie say? What was the last one he said? I'm sorry.

I said Mark Chestnut. Okay. Why would you give her that? Oh. Travis. Sorry? What? Ran out of time.

But I was answering. Yeah. What did Eddie say? Cane Heming Hall? Lunchbox, over to you. Oh, that's easy. Florida, Georgia Line. One of the top ten most influential artists in 90s, Florida Georgia Line. Go.

The 90s? Were they even born in the 90s? They were children. Hey, it's your answer, buddy. Good one, dude. Hateers hate. Hateers do hate. Eddie.

Okay, okay. I got this. Influential the 90s. Give me Joe Diffie, the pickup man. Show him, pickup man. Now, points are double. Amy, you're only down to four points. Yeah.

So there are one, two, three answers still left on the board. A lot of points up there. We're looking for the most influential country artists in the 90s. Three, five, and nine are still up there. Three, five, and nine. Lunchbox's strategy was smart.

He's just trying to get it to the later round for more points. Like, you guys are telling me, I'm dumb. Was that your strategy? Yes. I thought so, too. Because I didn't have enough points on the board to catch Eddie at 21.

Let the guy do his deal, you know? Get out of here. This is not running out my time, is it? Part's not, but when you're going, Eddie, what did Eddie say? What did Eddie say? Okay, Travis Tritt. Show me Travis Trit. Shock, Amy. All right, lunchbox.

A lot of points up there. You ready? Yeah. John Party. Faith Hill. Show me. Faith Hill. She was at number 11.

She wasn't top 10. Good. Hey, hey, that's fine. All good. He's fine with that. Hey, now they triple. Eddie's third round. Eddie, points are tripled.

Last round. Bones. Give me Vince Gill. Show Eddie Vince Gill. There are two left, Eddie. Who else you got? Good one, good one, good one. Dang it.

Gosh, influential. All right, give me Wynonna Judd. Show me Wynonna. This is crazy. Hey, my strategy worked. Wait later rounds. There's one answer left, Eddie. Oh, I don't know if I can get this.

It's the number three answer. Oh. You have won, you've dominated. Game over, put. Who is 10? Tim McGrath. Oh. McGraw 10, Vince Gill 9, Reba 8, George Strait 7, Alan Jackson, 6, Winona, 5, Brooks and Dunn, 4.

3, you don't have yet. Shanaya 2, Garth 1. Gosh, 1990s. No one's ever closed the category, by the way. Well, Amy got points, though. No, but close the category. There's always something left over. Oh, yeah, you're right.

Oh, man. Why am I not getting this? You're hymn and Han, bud. Yep. I mean, let's just go Kenny Chesney. Show me Chesney. Okay? Amy?

I think his song came out in the 90s. Because it was influential for sure. Billy Ray Cyrus? I thought about it. Hang it. I don't know. I forget it. You got it,

come on. Hey, if you get it, it's worth times 100. Come on, dude. Luke Holmes, you got this. Times 100. Times 100? Yeah, times 100. That means you'll never get it.

Deanna Carter. Well, I'll tell you this. Dina Carter is number 15. Dang. That's incorrect. Martina McBride was at 14. Oh. John Michael Montgomery was at 13.

Uh-huh. Trescia Eater was at 12. You forgot about all of them. I had Trisha. But your number three answer of the most influential artists of the 90s was? Better all had to die. But Eddie, you dominated, buddy. Nice job.

Yeah. Nice job. I should have just gone through my CD case from when I'm striving. Could have. Should have. I should have. I know. That's right.

Eddie, here's your. song for winning the game. Much thanks. Welcome, buddy. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what you're saying.

Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media. Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger

than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show. This is a place for raw, unfiltered, conversations with some of your favorite athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. One week, I'll take you behind the scenes of the biggest moments in sports and entertainment, and the next we'll talk about life, mental health, purpose, and even music.

The Clivert Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger. So, if you've ever supported me, or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either.

We always say that trust your girlfriends. I'm Anna Sinfield. in this new season of The Girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me?

The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no. I vowed. I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the Girlfriends. Trust me, babe.

On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever. for you get your podcast. Everyone, I'm Ego Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman, Saturday Night Live, and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo.

My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come. Look for up and coming town. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah.

He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit. If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah. It would not be.

Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot in luck. Listen to Thanks, Dad, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So the Chris Lees are in jail. She's in Kentucky. He's in Florida. Yeah. And so we started talking about if you have to go to jail for a long time, how long?

How long do you wait before you move on or your spouse moves on from you if you go on for 30 years? Or does it matter what crime you committed? If it's fraud, maybe they don't leave you. If it's murder and it's a way, yeah, probably they do. So Lunchbox, if your wife went to jail, what's the longest you would wait before? You said, I'm going to go ahead and get divorced. One year. See, that to me sounds way short.

Yeah. Very. That sounds like way short. No, no. She can get out in a year and we can be together. But if it's more than that, I mean, I can't sit around forever, guys. 18 months. She gets an 18 month sentence.

Sorry. Are you going to wait the year first? Or are you like, well, since it's 18, I might as well, move on with my love on. I might as well move on with my life. Oh, okay. And you have to understand, like, when you're in prison, the world changes so much in that time that I can't... How do you know?

You hear everybody that gets out of jail. How do you hear from people? Yeah, you watch... People that have been in there one year. You watch prison shows and they're like, man, what is this? A phone, a computer? Like, they're blown away. And so I can't stop time. Like, I can't stop living life. Yeah. So you asked your wife the same question?

Yeah. Here's that clip. I'd wait forever. No, no, no. Be for real. That's stupid. That's stupid. Let's say I'm sentenced to 10 years. That's a long time. I'd wait 10 years. Not, I'll be real.

Maybe 10. 10 max. Okay. Because I think you'd be sentenced to 10, but then you'd get out in less. 15 years. Okay, this game is stupid. I'm done. Okay.

Because I said that if you guys ended up to one year, I'd be like, oh, no. Oh, if I were in you up for one year, you wouldn't even wait for me longer than a year. I'm like, here's a long time. Dang it. Would you look for another wife or would you just be looking to have some fun and maybe you would just stay with her? I would be looking to have fun but you never know. Like what if you fall in love? It happens.

Or get somebody pregnant. Right. That does happen. And that's the problem is you can't do any of that. When she's in prison, when she's behind a plastic, like you go into there's a plastic partition between you guys. It's like, man, is this really love or is this just like, yeah. 50 years, would be my answer. Wow.

There's 50 years. You couldn't last 40. What is that? That's a weird number. Why? Well, you said 50, let's be realistic. I mean, honestly, if it's 20 years, your life's almost over two. So you can't wait 20 years.

Eddie, how long are you waiting for your wife? Forever. Okay, that's what I said to. Stop it. Forever. But I just want to say 50 to give another answer. Stop. Why can you not be honest? Why does your wife laugh at your one year?

That's what's weird to me. Like, she's just, oh, okay. Because she's like, oh, she knows him. That's crazy. So the Christlies are in jail. it'd be fun for lunchbox to go and visit Todd Chrisley. Todd's been a guest host on this show before. What did you find out about how this works?

So you have to be on their visitor list. They have a list that they put and if you are on the visitation list, you're allowed to get into the prison to visit him. So the only way I'm going to get in is if I can get a hold of him, write him a letter, and get him to put me on his list and say,

come on down. Because I can't just show up at the jail. They won't let me in. I bet you, anybody famous in jail them would have people showing up all the time. Yeah. Correct. Makes sense. Okay, so you have to write a, you can't call. Can you call people in prison? Meaning, is there a certain time where you like, hey, I'm going to. No, I think they can call you. Yeah. Because, like, I don't know how these.

But I mean, they have, some of them have, but this is a nice jail. Right. I assume they'd have a phone in there. They may have FaceTime in that jail. I have no idea. Yeah. Well, so you're going to write a letter. Do you have the address of the place? I got the address. I got everything. I just needed an envelope and a stamp and we're good to go. That's easy to get. Where's he going to find that. I know. So here's what we can't email them. Because don't they have like computer time? Yeah, you would think. But I don't have his email. I don't know Todd's email.

Is it like Todd Chrisley at jail.com? Jail.com. Okay, I'll try it. So do this then. Write the letter tonight. Okay. Bring it in tomorrow. We want to hear the letter.

And if we're okay with it and you're not going to get us in trouble, we'll mail it off and see if we can get you on the list. Okay. And if you don't like my letter, we can, will you help me edit it? I'll write you a poem like it at Abby, but she never, you know. Yeah. I'll write it. Okay.

Tomorrow. To Todd. Your letter to Todd. And you'll go down there if he replies back and says... 100%. I'll leave tomorrow. That's how mail works these days. I like it.

It takes a little longer from Meldwick. Well, yeah, yeah. But I mean, I'm saying the day after I find out that he says yes. You'll leave the next day. Yeah. A teenager wins a $613,000. Lucky Sevens, fast money jackpot when the ticket was given to her by a friend. A teenage 19 years old won $600,000.

Wow. As a gift. The ticket was a gift. Yeah. They need to, like, talk to this teenager, right? It was a gift. That's unreal. The ticket was a gift.

Okay. A teenager. It's crazy. There's a gift. He handed me the ticket and said he bought it for Christmas. Scratched it. Six hundred. Sixth.

Sixth. Sixth years. Oh, my gosh. That's a teenager. Oh, my gosh. Like, remember when our buddy, we used to work with won $200,000 and he's like, I bought a car. We're like, dude, dude, what are you doing? What are you doing?

What are you got to pay taxes on that? Yeah. Like, I bought a car. I'm going on trips. Yeah, yeah. Stop it, stop it. Yeah. That's crazy. Okay.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. If you're trying to fall asleep faster and you watch TV before bed, you might want to try suspenseful dramas because the study was just done and researchers found that those that watched that type of TV before bed, they fell asleep the fastest of any other categories like documentaries and other stuff. That sounds counterintuitive. Yeah. Where you want to get your heart rate up, you get nervous, you get nervous before bed?

Or you don't know what's going to happen. so you just fall asleep. Other researchers say watch Freddie and Jason. No. Worst researchers I've ever heard of. Or films. But also, it didn't say quality of sleep, but just said you fell asleep faster.

And then I have a list of suspenseful dramas in case you want to check one out. Go ahead. The old man. Yeah. Yeah, that's a great show. I mean, I guess I wouldn't call that a suspenseful drama. It's a series more than a movie.

It's a little suspenseful, though, because you don't know what's like action. It is. It's awesome. It's awesome. like the best show I've seen in a long time. Go ahead. If you Google, Suspensville TV, these shows come up. The old man. Jack Ryan.

Don't watch The Old Man before you go to bed. Just don't. I did. And one, I wanted to keep watching episodes. It's one of those shows as soon as it finished. Like, I got to watch another one. And two, you're just like, oh, my God, oh my, my. Don't, this is worst research ever heard.

Just move on. We should fire this research company. Okay. Severance Yellowstone. Those are other shows. Which, speaking of Yellowstone, the Wall Street Journal, did a whole ride-up on how cowboy fashion has gotten so big in cities and suburbs, simply because of the show Yellowstone.

One fan who lives outside of New York said he started watching Yellowstone and then really got into the look. He now owns five pairs of cowboy boots. Eddie wears cowboy stuff every day. Dallas Cowboys. Oh, okay. Oh, I was looking at.

The Wall Street Journal also talked to a fan in Germany who is now dressing like a cattle rancher, but he's not. What a loser. I know. You're going to dress like a rancher and you're not even a rancher. There's a difference in wearing a...

Don't wear a chap. to work in Brooklyn because you watch the show. Okay, all right, what else? I got the five best country breakup songs of all time. All right, number five. Stay, Sugar Land. Why don't you stay? Yeah, this one's awesome.

And you forget how good it is until you hear it again. They recorded this in one take. Just Christian in the guitar and her with a vocal in the studio. It's a crazy story behind it. We did a bobby cast talking about this. That's a good one. What else? George Strait, give it away.

You know, a little too up. beat. I like my breakup songs to be sad and slow. And I think you could sing this and actually think it's not sad. Yeah, but in the song they're definitely breaking up. Absolutely. Just give it away. For sure. I like mine to be sad feeling, like slow tempo. What else?

Keith Whitley, I'm over you. Or just Keith Whitley, insert most every song. All of his songs. Most every song. At number two, Dolly Parton, I will always love you. And this wasn't really a romantic breakup song, though.

She wrote this as a, hey, I appreciate you, but I got us to go now. Is this Porter Wagner? It is. Yeah. Good job. Yeah, that's what that is. So, breakup, sure, like a friendship breakup. Like, I would write this Freddy if we ever broke up.

Oh, wow. Yeah, because we didn't make out, but we didn't spend a lot of time together. And? Roy Acuff did this in the 40s, but the most popular one is Willie Nelson, Blue Eyes, Crying in the Rain. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Yeah, you love sad songs. And this one's just literally one of my favorite songs ever,

read them all alive. Play the Roy I kept person, right? That's upbeat. Well, the horns throw it off a little bit. Yeah, but I knew we'd never

be again. It's like the Looney Tunes horn, though, in the back. Yeah. There's all kinds of instruments back there. I know. It throws it off. But, okay, Amy, is that it?

Yep, maybe that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. So in Chester, Connecticut, an artist installed something downtown that's super cool. Locals can use it, visitors. You hop in the wish booth. It looks like an old school phone booth.

Yeah, well, like a UK phone booth. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The red, it's very cute. And you hop in, and you've got a direct line to the universe. It doesn't even cost a coin like mountains. That's what I took from it. Make all the wishes, it doesn't cost you anything. You just got to get in there.

You know somebody's going to get in there to pee there. Of course. Some drunk dude. Well, and I'm wondering too, because is it, I don't know if it's recording them, but are like people hopping there. It's like, okay, dear God. And they're like saying things or whatever. Well, it's not a confession booth or they're going to arrest people. But I think it would be cool if people could leave some sort of message and then somebody else could get in and see it and go, I can actually help that person. And then they could do it. Ooh, that'd be cool.

I don't know that it's that next level. But 1500 wishes have been recorded in the booth so far. And recorded. So they're recording them. They are. Okay, Christopher Owens. He's the artist that created it, and he said, we need hope right now. And this is a whimsical way of going about it and hopefully inspiring people. It's fun. It's positive. I'm for it. It didn't cost anybody any money. That's a good deal. That is what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Let's go and do Amy's Morning Corny.

The Morning Corny! What do you call an old apple? What do you call an old apple? Granny Smith That was the morning corny It's a Bobby Bones show interview In case you didn't know About to have Hardy

Right here in studio on this stage Hardy's got a couple number ones That he has as an artist I mean not to count the ones he's written for other people But you would know this song called One Beer One Beer. He's got a song with Lainey Wilson right now called Wait in the Truck

Here's a clip of that. He's a great songwriter. Obviously a great artist. He's been out on tour with Morgan Wallen. He's got the long hair, the dark glasses. He's like a cooler version of me. Let's admit it. He's a cooler version of me.

Here he is celebrating his new album, The Mockingbird and the Crow. That is out now. Here is Hardy. On the Bobby Bones show now. Hardy. What's going on, buddy? How are you?

Good, man. Good to see you again. I saw you perform a couple times, but I guess we haven't seen each other personally in a while. But, man, I'll tell you what, you go hard. It's awesome. It's like, it's really cool to see. I guess we talked on the phone.

You told me you, like, believed in ghosts, or you texted. Something about ghosts. I had a ghost story at my house. Is this a real story? It's a real story, man. I was always, like, apprehensive and skeptical, and there's some stuff that happened that I can't, I literally cannot explain. And I live alone.

So I collect Native American artifacts, like arrowheads and stuff like that. And the short story is I found a place on the course. Humberland River that was very potent and the river had gotten really high for a long time and then it dropped and so basically it had shaved away a lot of the dirt on the riverbank and um which is what you do when you go look right you wait for a big rain and it washes away new dirt and you find arrowheads in it and a buddy of mine and myself found this spot and it was just there was like a ton of broken arrowheads a ton of arrow it was just really really potent and like fresh and we both kind of had like a we were like man this is like spooky because it's like the first time it's been revealed

you know, to the earth or whatever. Anyway, so we found some stuff and I took it home and like a week later, man, I mean, there's a million stories. I woke up, all the lights would be on in the house. All my countertop appliances would be unplugged. What do you mean unplugged? Like literally physically. Like blender, toaster, microwave, lamp. Was this when you had enough money for a housekeeper? Maybe they did that? No. I lived completely alone. And it would be like, like it was on the night before, like when I went to bed, like a microwave. Nobody unplugs a microwave. Were you drinking the night before? No, dude, I'm telling you.

That's my thought. Callie and I hung a big mirror. And the next day, we went to look at the mirror and there was a giant scratch across the front of the mirror. One night we were watching Yellowstone. And there's no way you can justify the scratch. I want to be able to, but I promise you I cannot. I have no idea how to justify it. Tell me the Yellowstone one then before I go on any farther.

Go ahead. We were watching Yellowstone. And we heard a noise downstairs. And she was like, what was that? And I was like, I sounded like a chair got like scooted across the floor. And we had a chair from our kitchen table that had been like scooted like 10 feet out from our kitchen table. Do you have a dog or a rumba? No.

No. And when I tell you, like I lived in Jolton in a house in a cabin that's driveway was like a mile and a half long. In the middle of nowhere, nobody knows where this house is. Like it's completely impossible that it was a person. Plus the doors were locked and everything. So your theory, can't prove it right or wrong, is that it's possible that from your collection of Native American artifacts, you brought something home. Yeah. And why do you still have these artifacts?

So we eventually... Because I dumped them immediately. So as I thought that I would get rid of them. I had one moment. Callie quit staying with me because she was so freaked out because it was always something. Like it wasn't just those things. Like it was like a light would turn on and off downstairs while we were away. like it was crazy stuff that was never it wasn't like poltergeist like we saw anything or anything crazy but i had one

there was five days in a row that i woke up at the 259 or three in the morning on the dot and the last morning i did it i got up out of bed and this this house kind of it just had a loft with a master bedroom and it was really creaky it was a cabin and when i got out of bed and turned my lamp on something jumped from my lot the loft of my house to the floor and ran through the house and i jumped out of bed i thought somebody i literally thought somebody was in my house. It was a big thing, like a human size thing. It wasn't like a mouse. No. It shook the dishes in the dishwasher kind of deal. And I jumped up and like went through the whole house. And then we went, Cali was like, let's get some sage and just try to see if we can sage the house. And we staged every corner. And I went in there with like a purpose and was very like stern and was like if we have

something of yours or blah, blah, blah, like we're sorry, but we're, you know, it's time for you to leave. You said it out loud. Yeah. I had a, I laughed it. I'd have been, I thought that was like an idiot. Yeah. I would have to. Yeah. I would have to. Yeah. And. And, And we'd never had a problem again. But my mom, who has never told a lie in her entire life, would go out there occasionally. It was like a really pretty place in my parents live here, so they would go out there to hang out or something when I'm there or gone.

And my mom said that she would go in that bedroom, the one with the mirror scratch, and that the lamp would turn on and off. And she would be like, okay, I'm leaving. And then as she would go to walk out the front door, that the lamp by the front door would turn on and off. After we staged it. It's almost like...

It's just like an electrical problem. It is a cabin, you know, I mean, it could be a huge coincidence, but the chair scooting across the floor and the scratch on the mirror and the thing jumping from my loft, I cannot explain that. And it was 100% real. And I can't prove it that it's not real because I wasn't there. Yeah. Do you not believe in ghosts at all? In the form of how people describe them, I struggle with it.

I obviously think there are things bigger and my brain does not have the capacity to understand things that it simply has not seen. I mean, I think there's so much that we can't even imagine that we don't even know is out there. I think science can explain it. I mean, we didn't know radio waves existed until like 100 something years ago. That's a great point. But science then proved they did, so now we do. So I guess until we have some sort of machine that proves. So yes, and that is a valid point until I, like, counterpoint you with going.

But then science did go, that's true. And so I don't have that, so I still can't. Well, I think that a lot of it is, like, people think it's all like hocus pocus. And so they think it's silly to invest a lot of money in, like, time. to invest in stuff that could try to prove that they were real, I think. I can't prove that you're not right. And my only story is my grandmother adopted me for a long time. Very instrumental in all my life.

I lived with her for most of my life. And she left me a guitar. And it was the right-handed guitar, but she played it in church. And she never took a lesson. And, you know, I went to a Pentecostal church when I was young before. I went to a Baptist church. I grew up in a very rural town in Arkansas. And so she left it.

And it was really all she had to leave. And I remember I was, like, She had died and whatever. And I was like, okay, if you're sending me some kind of sign or whatever that thing. And the freaking guitar fell over. Oh, really? It fell. And I, dude.

Now, did I, I don't know. I don't know if I did something. I don't know. I don't think I kicked it. But the guitar fell over. Yeah. But I still struggle because I can't see it, touch it, feel it. Sure.

Can't show me to just go, yes, it's absolutely true. But I can't tell you you're wrong. I just go, dang. Now listen to one more story. Lunchbox, tell him your story. And then you tell me if you think he's legitimate because he's held on to the story for 15 years. So at my buddy's house who lived like four houses down for me, spending the night one night,

and I get up to go to the bathroom, and I walk down the hallway, and a ghost pushes me in the closet, locks the door, and it gets really cold in there, and I cannot open the door. And there is a ghost because we'd be there after school, and you would see footprints on the stairs and the front door would unlock and lock with us just sitting on the couch.

Really? No one's touching it, and these guys do not believe me, but it 100% happened. I believe you, man. He also says that. Tell him where they go. touched you though. No, no, there was no touching by the ghost. I'm just telling you, it shut me in the closet and I could not get out and it got really, really cold in the closet.

I can't prove it didn't happen, but he lies so much that just based on that alone, it's hard to believe it. Look, Hardy's here. You have a new record that's out. We have a lot to talk about music-wise. We kind of got on that side track there. But so as far as, I would just imagine with you being such a prominent songwriter, and I don't know if you do this to yourself, but do you put extra pressure on yourself when you put out a project of your own because people know you for being a great songwriter and performer? A little bit. Because it's not like to be really good because we know all the great stuff you've written for

other folks too. No, I agree. I think that it has to beat the stuff that I've had cut on other people or else people would just constantly be like, well, why didn't you put that out yourself? But, you know, my record cycle is usually two years and so, I mean, I pick usually, I mean, it still has to be me, you know, but I pick like the best 10, 15

songs of those two years or so that, for myself. But I feel the pressure for sure. Anything you've held on for over a year that's not that made the record? Oh, yeah. Jack, I think, was the first song that we cut. And that one you still stayed in love with even a year later? Yeah.

Because that's hard to do. That was kind of the first song that, since the records, half country and half rock, that was the first song that kind of sparked the rock side of things. So that we kind of based, that's the cornerstone of the rock side of stuff. So we held on to that one for forever. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.

Yep. That's me, Clifford Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

We always say that trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends... Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.

Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network. It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with them one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings. I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place they come,

look for up-and-coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. and he's like just give it a shot he goes but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore it's okay to quit if you saw it written down it would not be an inspiration it would not be on a calendar of you know the cat just hang in

there yeah it would not be right it wouldn't be that there's a lot of luck yeah listen to thanks dad on the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast On the Bobby Bones show now. Hardy. Hardy's here, new record, The Mockingbird and the Crow. It is out. You guys should check it out. How do you do, because there are 17 songs on this,

what's a good number of tracks? And then why do you cut it off? Or why did you add a couple more? You mean just to make a record? Yeah, I mean, 17, why the number? Why? I don't know. I mean, really, we had, I think I had like 7 and 7.

And Joey, Moy and Seth were like, let's see if we can get a couple more. And it just sort of turned out to be that way. and for it to be like a half and half thing, I wanted it to be like a decent amount on both sides. You've really walked that line though, because again, you say, and I've heard the record too,

half's rock, half's country, but there's also kind of a blurry, a few songs on there too that could be both, but I think you've created that space in country music where you listen and you go, well, yeah, sure, it's rock, but I could also hear this like, and in the opposite,

I mean, you ever get those guys going, ah, you're too rocked for this place, man? A little bit. I mean, maybe not that, like, direction. but yeah, I mean, some of that. When you were doing Hicks tape where people like, I don't know, man, this is a little too crazy, it probably can't work.

Or did nobody care enough? I wasn't big enough for anybody to care yet. But, I mean, I definitely feel like there's some apprehension, especially in the country world. I've actually been, the rock world's been super cool and has accepted me more than I honestly even thought they would, and I'm very thankful for that. But I mean, there's definitely been a little bit of apprehension from some of my songs being too heavy or whatever.

You grew up in a small town in Mississippi. What was that town like? And what did people listen to either on the radio or a CD? Like, what did you grow up around? I grew up. Well, Philadelphia is awesome, by the way. Like, you hear a lot of people talk about, like, I'm glad I left that, you know, blankety-blank town. But I love my hometown.

And a lot of people, most people in Philadelphia love Philadelphia. but man my dad instilled rock and roll in me when I was like a little like a really little kid so I became super obsessed with it and classic rock until I kind of discovered like MTV and then could discover music on my own you know so I grew up listening to rock and roll but country country was around but I will say like a lot of people loved rock and roll and there were two or three there was a weird little music scene like a lot of like a weird amount of people could play instruments and there were bands and stuff in this little small town and so a lot of people, rock and roll was really big in my hometown for sure. In Philadelphia, Mississippi,

like a fake Liberty Bell? No. No, no, Philly Cheese. I've always wondered about that. The high school team wasn't the Eagles, like none of that stuff. That would be funny. No, I've always thought it'd be kind of funny too, but we didn't adopt anything from the real Philly.

I don't know why. You are loyal and you speak for Mississippi a lot. Like I do for Arkansas, right? Like I have Arkansas a lot of what I do, I represent constantly and consistently. Why is that so important to you to be the guy from Mississippi? Man, I just, first of all, I don't, there's a lot of really big artists like Elvis, Robert Johnson, whatever, there's a million, a Faith Hill from Mississippi. But there's not a ton.

And I just, I like making my hometown proud and making my state proud. And I don't know, man. There's just something inside of me that's extremely proud to be from Mississippi. I think it gets a bad rap and gets the butt end of a lot of like, you know, redneck jokes. and stuff like that. And I think taking pride in that is cool as opposed to, you know, getting offended by it or whatever. But it's a state full of small towns. It doesn't have a city. And it's just really unique. There's like one degree of separation between everybody and the whole state. Like you can meet some person that knows somebody you know if you don't

know that person. It's really special. I mean, you guys and us are like 49-50th in every poll. Yeah. It's like Mississippi, Arkansas. It's like the fattest, the most littered, the most pregnant. But only we can say that and we can only make fun of that because we're, that's us. Yeah. But if somebody else does, man, nothing fires me up like when somebody goes after Arkansas. Dude, I'm with you, man. So if you take your glasses and hat off, can you go incognito?

The goatee kind of gets me still. I've tried. I did stagecoach, but I wore a, I wore like a big quick silver hat and a mask. And one of those sunglasses, the pit vipers. The big, flashy, like 80s. But it was so hot, man. And the mask, I like almost suffocated. But I did it.

I did it for like a whole day and it was, I did that. But I don't know. I haven't tried it too much, but maybe. Well, I can't see, but I've done it before. Like, I'm, is your vision bad? It's bad enough. Yeah, mine is really bad. And so I've taken my glasses off to walk through, like, walk through like an event for our, our company.

And even my bosses didn't know who I was. They were like, hey. Oh, really? No, I had no idea. You wear a hat mostly, don't you? I mean, half and half. Enough. Yeah, enough.

Yeah. But I have great hair. Check it up. I can't see it from there Oh I thought you said you had gray hair No great No you have good hair You have good hair

Yeah yeah yeah I have gray hair I have some Great You do Do you have your hair on top Yeah Yeah I have a good hair Because you do have

Oh you have a great head Wow he has great hair too Mostly people to wear hats all the time Are balding Dude I You know you get that from your mom's side The family have you ever heard that Like if your mom's brothers

Had a full head of hair Their whole life Then you probably will And both my mom's brothers Have And or had a full head of hair So I'm, I think I'm in the clear, I think. Do you ever plan to cut the, because it's not really a mallet.

You just have long hair. No, I just have regular long hair. Is it always been that way since, like, high school? No, I had like the, they call it the Bama bangs, dude. I had the frat boy, like Justin Bieber thing. I cannot see that at all. I know, I'm trying to picture it. You know what's annoying about Hardy?

I think I have a picture on my phone. I'll show you at some point. So it's terribly annoying that Hardy was also an awesome athlete, too. It's like these guys come in that are everything that I, I never was. Very talented, awesome athlete, can like sing, play guitar, creative. And it's like I should never even like this guy. I literally shouldn't like you because I have all this like childhood angst from people like you, but I do. I like you a lot. I appreciate that. Yeah, look at me. I'm growing. Therapy. How about that? Therapy. Hey, the name, the mockybird and the crow,

just why? Basically signifies the struggle I have with the very watered down term is or is, you know, country artist versus a rock artist. It talks about the Malkenbird, singing songs. It sounds like other songs you've heard, which is kind of sticking to the format. And that bleeds into the songwriter side of me too and writing songs for the radio. And maybe the struggle I have with should I write more songs and sing more songs for the radio versus the crow, which kind of is not as pretty. And it doesn't sound as pretty as a Malk and Bird.

And it kind of flies its own path. And it's just a song that talks about the internal struggle I have with that. on the Bobby Bones show now. Hardy. Hey, what do you do for like mental health? I would assume as an artist, I'm going to insert my story in your story. There are insecurities. You're a creative.

You have times and spaces you need to go and be by yourself. Is any of that true, by the way? Yeah. Would you consider yourself insecure in certain parts of your life? Maybe. If I do, if I am, I don't know if I know it, but I go to therapy. Okay. I have a therapist.

Good for you. What do you do for mental health? So you go to therapy? You ever go away? You have somewhere you want to go away to? Yeah, I just got back from Mississippi for two weeks. I like the deer hunt, but like the Arrowhead thing. I do.

I recharge alone. So if I can spend like one day or half a day alone every week, that's like huge for me. I just be alone with my thoughts and stuff. And I don't know. It just, it helps me a ton. How does your new wife do with that? Because my wife does not need to be alone. Right.

I do. I'm very much an alone person. And it took a long time before she actually understood it wasn't about her. Right. And not that she was ever deeply offended. She was just like, I don't understand. I was like, I need to be like alone for a while. Yeah, it has nothing to do with your significant other.

It's just all about you. Did you have any sort of communication barrier there about that? Or did she get it? No, she's, dude, she's awesome. I mean, she and I did like the premarital, like, you know, therapy or counseling or whatever. And we talked about a lot of that. And most of the stuff we already knew about each other. but no, she's awesome.

I mean, like I said, once a week, I can just be like, hey, I'm going to go do a thing, and I'll see you tonight or something, and she's, like, totally cool with it. And she has her things, too, you know. But, yeah, no, she's super, super cool about it. Any songs on this record have to do with being, like, in a relationship and in love?

I and Country is the only love song on the record. It's the only song about a girl. Well, I wouldn't expect like eight or nine or anything, but I figured at some point, you live a life and you create from it. Yeah, sure. So something would be in there about that? Yeah, eye and country. So what does that one, though?

I in country. What's the play here? It's basically like the hook is there ain't no eye in country, but there's a YOU, and it talks about, like, I know how to do all this stuff. I know how to build a house on a hill and just all these things. It's got a country twist on it, right? It's got the good old boy redneck twist, but it's basically like, but what's the point of all that if I don't have somebody to do it for and to do it with? So it's like there ain't no eye in country, but there's a YOU.

I was flipping through the channels a couple weeks ago, and I saw you on wrestling. Yeah. And I have USA Network as one of my main channels I'll flip through because my show is on USA. And so it just comes through, like you do your radio channels. And I'm flipping through and I see you like going through the ropes. And I'm like, what is happening here? And then I worried you were going to get hurt. Because, I mean, I would assume those guys are, I mean, they know what they're doing.

And they're big and strong. Yeah. So how did you? Because is WrestleMania, you're performing at something, right? Or you did? Royal Rumble. Oh, the Royal, yeah. You know what that is?

It's where they come down one at a time. Yeah. And then they throw each other at last one. Oh, he's love Rolls. Yeah. We're doing that next week, I think. That's pretty cool. Yeah.

Did you, like, how do you practice? We rehearsed it. That's what everybody says. Wrestling is real, but it's rehearsed. And, because that guitar was real, dude. that was that really happened you know what i mean and um so when a guitar gets broken over a human's back or gets you have to hit him in a certain spot he he the guy was like just hit me high hit me high don't hit me uh he was like hit me on the wide part of my back but uh and he was like

make sure it's just flat like dead flat and he was i remember him saying the harder you hit me the worst it's going to hurt so you might as well like swing for the fence and really try to hit me as hard as you can did you ever practice that guitar breaking though or was it a one-time shot did and they they had this like stunt guy backstage and he put this like vest on and he was like all right give it a shot and he was kind of like I think he never thought I'd swung anything before in my life and he was like so when you grab it you grab it down here I'm like dude I've broken guitars before and you play ball you've been a big baseball player too yeah yeah yeah yeah so um anyway so he did it and I did it as hard as I could and it didn't break and then they all panicked this was like

an hour before I was supposed to do it live. And I know what they do is, I don't know, I'm going to say it anyway. They take the guitar part. They take all the heavy stuff or the metal stuff from the inside and then they hot glue it back together, which is still like, it's not like, you know, it's still a guitar. It still hard, yes. But I did it. And then the guy, like, panicked and he was like trying to coach me how to like swing it

and stuff. And I was like, dude, I got it. And they gave, they had a different guitar. And it just, I think the one that they gave me at first was a little more put together. Were you relieved when it broke when it was live? More relieved than I've ever been in my life. I was like, I just, I wanted to be like, yes, right there.

But it was awesome, dude. Also, they should take the metal stuff out of a guitar. We don't need to be convinced. We know that these are great athletes. We know, can you imagine, like, no, the guitar needs to be legitimate. You need to hit them with every part of it. Actually, electric guitar, less ball. Yes, please.

And then you came out, no injuries, no shoulder injuries, nothing you're flying around. All right. Good for you. Good for you. Hardee's new record's out. It is called The Mockingbird and the Crow. What are you going to play for us there? I'm going to play a song off the record called Happy. I think it's my favorite song on the record. All right, here we go. Hey, you wrote that one by yourself. Yeah.

Why? What inspired you do that by yourself and what, like, tell me about the song, what it's about? Man, I just had like a, actually, like at one point I wanted to write like a children's book, and I was thinking about some ideas. And a publisher told me one time, We were talking about doing drugs, and we weren't doing drugs, but we were literally just talking about it. A kid's book publisher once. He's an older guy, older than me, and he was like, man, he was like, if there's any advice I have for you, don't use a week's worth of happiness in one night. And that always stuck with me.

And it was in the time of, like, cutting the record. So I sent it to Seth and Joey and everybody and said, I really want to put this one on the record on the countryside. That's awesome, man. The Mockingbird and the Tour Dates, he starts in February. You go to Hardyofficial.com runs all the way through. Spring. It's all over the place. But go check it out for the mockingbird and the crew with James and Rogers on tour with you. Yeah, and a rock band.

Blame my youth off Big Loud Rock. We're going to wrap with this. These are five uncomfortable questions from listeners. Are Hardy's glasses real or fake? They're real. Very real. Who pays when you and Morgan Wall and go to dinner? Ooh, my record label. Nice.

He looks at them as he says that. Does Hardy drive a cool car? Yeah. This is where you answer what kind of cool car. I have a Jack Roush edition, F-250 Super Duty, and I have a camouflage wrapped F-150 King Ranch with 38-inch tires. It's a lot of gas. That's what I hear. That's a lot of gas.

It's easy to spot now. Not a car. Oh, I know. Not the camouflage. You never seen. I took the camo truck to my hometown to go deer hunting the last two weeks, and it was a huge mistake, dude. It was a huge mistake. Two more. what's the coolest part of Hardy's new house?

Oh, oh man. My studio room. I love it. I have all my cool trinkets and stuff in there. Arrowheads? Yeah, tons. They stay in the air. Opposite end of the bedroom.

Probably won't go. And finally, how did Hardy get famous? I have no idea. That's my answer. Good enough for us. There he is. Hardy, everybody. New albums out.

The Mockingbird and the Crow. Go check it out. Go see them on tour. A win is a win. A win. Yep, that's me, Cliver Taylor the 4th. You might have seen the skits, the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

Well, somewhere along the way, this platform became bigger than I ever imagined. And now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

The Clifford Show isn't just a podcast. It's a space for honest conversations, stories that don't always get told, and for people who are chasing something bigger.

So, if you've ever supported me or you're just chasing down a dream, this is right where you need to be. Listen to the Clifford show on the IHeart radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. There's two golden rules that any man should live by. Rule one, never mess with a country girl. You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes. And rule two, never mess with her friends either. We always say that, trust your girlfriends.

I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends, Oh my God, this is the same man. A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist. I felt like I got hit by a truck. I thought, how could this happen to me? The cops didn't seem to care. So they take matters into their own hands. I said, oh, hell no.

I vowed, I will be his last target. He's going to get what he deserves. Listen to the girlfriends. Trust me, babe. On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Ago Wadam. My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman,

Saturday Night Live, and The Big Money Players Network, It's Will Ferrell. Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. My dad gave me the best advice ever. I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot. I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.

I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come, look for up and coming talent. He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet. Yeah. He goes, but there's so much luck involved. And he's like, just give it a shot. He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.

If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat. Just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that. There's a lot of luck. Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Thank you guys for hanging out with us.

It's at this time every morning. We catch you up on what we think is somewhat important or interesting. It's our version of the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. The price of eggs so high that people are apparently trying to sneak them across the border from Mexico, where they are cheaper. Whoa. At $3.40.

A 30-count carton of eggs is a steel in Juarez Mexico. Boy, you know what else are still in Juarez, your head. Oh, fuck. True. If you're not careful. I don't even like eggs that much. Oh, come on. I don't eat eggs that much.

So this story to me, I'm just not an egg guy at all. I was trying to explain the price of eggs to my son because he likes to have four eggs a day. Every day. Make them work? What kind? Like a scrambled? Over easy. Like where the white is cooked but the yolk is runny.

Yeah, over easy. I would not know how to make that. Yeah. I can do a scrambled. That's easy. Yeah, that's pretty easy. Stir it up. Just scrambled it up, yeah.

So did you say, hey, easy on the eggs? Yeah, I'm like, hey, we should cut down to two a day and then, like, have a piece of bread and some fruit. And it just always has to be so many eggs. Did you guys go across the border ready when you were a kid to get stuff? Oh, yeah, all the time. And, like, fruit, you can buy fruit over there, but you had to take the seat out because you couldn't bring the seed over to America. Because they don't want you planning it? Yeah.

But why? What was that reasoning? Yeah, they just said because they don't want you to reproduce these, this, fruit that's native to Mexico in America. Yeah, so if we buy avocados, avocados, that was big. We can throw avocados here. Yeah, but they were so good. Mexican avocados are delicious.

Really? Yes. So on's I-bye. Would you sneak the fruit seeds in? Oh, yeah. Like, keister, like in jail? Oh, yeah, but here's the thing, though. Oh, you did?

No, no, not keister. Wow. Just under the seat smuggle. But avocado seeds are big. Here's the thing, though. They had a knife, though. So, like, if they caught the avocados, they'd either, it was, Either they were in a good mood or a bad mood.

They're in a good mood. They would cut it for you, throw the seat out, and here, here's your avocados. But if they're in a bad mood, thank you. Those are mine. They just kept the avocados? Oh, yeah. What else would you take across the border? Or would you go, like, I had some friends that would go get dental work done in Mexico.

I'll tell you this bad one. This is a bad one, dude. So we went over for lunch. I was in high school, and I went with a football player. And he wanted the bad stuff, the PED stuff. He wanted like steroids. Yes. And so I didn't know he was doing this.

It was three of us. And he disappeared while we were having lunch. He didn't tell us he went to the pharmacy to buy this stuff. And we're coming back. And me and my other buddy, we're like singing along on the radio. And the customs guys like, oh, this is crazy. Like three high school kids at 2 o'clock, 2 p.m. This isn't right.

Pull over stall number one. And we're like, okay, no big deal. So we sit there, da, da, da, da, da, da. They check the car. They don't find anything. All right, you guys are good. Take off. And then my buddy's like pale.

He's like white face, the football player. And he breaches in his pocket. He's like, here, man, put that in the glove box. What is this? he's like, I bought steroids. Like, I just, I was so scared. I was so scared. I'm so glad they didn't catch us.

Like, dude, we could have gone to jail! Yeah, well, what would have happened? If, were they would just taking him? I don't know. Would they have taken all of you? Would they have taken even him to jail? I think just him because it was in his pocket. But there's no way that they can isolate, like, that we didn't know.

I mean, if you're with them, I think they just kind of treat everyone the same. Yeah, somebody's the driver. Do they put you in jail if they find something like that? We were already in the American side. So if we're going to jail, that's fine. Going to Mexican jail is a different story. What's that story? I don't want to know that story.

Okay, okay. Well, that's the story from Fox 5 San Diego. A woman has given up on driving after being involved in 13 car accidents before she turned 30. She says that she's pushed her luck enough. Amy? That's what I thought. Well, Amy's low old old and 30, so this can't be her. Yeah, just a tad older.

How many car accidents have you been in in any form or fashion? Mine or fender bender to big wreck. Lunchbox was in a bad wreck once where he was sitting and a drunk driver smashed into the back of his car. Lucky to live. We were doing the show. We weren't live on the air, but it was when we were working together. Yeah. Crushed into him.

Crushed into me, and he was going about 55, never hit the brakes, and they had to get a tow truck to the front of my car and the back of his to get him out of my trunk because he was so far in. Wow. And Bobby called me right thing. He's like, asked me something about work, and I tell him. And then he was like, what are you doing? I just got in a wreck.

And he goes, why didn't you lead with that? And I'm like, I mean, you called me? That's the headline. And, yeah. So I got crushed. How many wrecks you've been in, though, your whole life? Two. that one and one when I was in college I was coming around a curve

and there was a yield sign and I didn't the car in front of me yielded and I wasn't ready to yield and I hit the back of them by you wasn't ready to yield you just didn't yield you just didn't yield I wasn't ready there was the other night we were Caitlin and I were turning into a driveway and it's dark it's nighttime and okay da-da and I'm just slowly turning into the driveway across so I'm on the left side so I got a cross and she starts yelling oh my god oh my god there was a car coming away but no lights on Oh no. Almost nailed us.

I never saw them. And we pulled in the driveway and I'm just slow. You know me. Yeah. And she's like, oh my God. And I stopped once I got in the driveway. I said, what's up? And then I saw the car just go right by us.

Man. Which was nuts. I've been in one. I know I rearended somebody one time. It was your fault? There was an accident and I pulled over a hill and cars were everywhere. And it was like I had to slam. I didn't slam quick enough because it had just happened.

Okay. And so I hit the back. Like, there was like three cars. it did it. And so I hit it and that was it. One time somebody hit me, we were going in front of this, Jessiville High School to have, they were on our arrivals and we were going in front of them waving pine trees. Like, you suck because we were mountain pine. When they were all standing outside and somebody rerended me. Okay. But I just went back and my car's piece of crap and pulled it out and kept driving and it happened right in front of their school. So it was embarrassing. But I don't

count that one because I just pulled it right out. It's all good. Yeah, so just one for me, Amy? So hitting objects like poles and fire hydrants count? Okay, so, and then my most recent one over Christmas break, which was the accident on the highway, I think I'm at 8. Oh, my gosh. But the highway one. Hey, two more, your punch card gets in. You get a free smoothie. Had since I was 16.

Yeah, all of ours are two. What are you talking about? Your whole life, Amy. She's like, that's its 2020 only, guys. Oh, shoot. I just thought of one from our parking garage when I popped the tire. Oh, okay. So nine.

Eddie? Three. A one right when I, man, I got my. learner's permit. Like just got it and I was pulling over to the side like turning right and a motorcycle decided to pass the car behind me on the shoulder I was there, he clipped me, it was brutal.

Well, this woman has quit. Again, all those accidents before 30. She's got to get places somehow though. Also in the news, Beyonce is returning to the stage for the first time more than four years. She's going to get $24 million for one night only. She's playing a private performance at the lavish grand opening of the Atlantis Royal Hotel in Dubai, the massive

complex features 700 hotel rooms, 100 luxury suites, and 200 live-in apartments. They're paying Beyonce 24, and then 6 zeros. That would equal $24 million. Kim Kardashian, according to page 6, bought Princess Diana's amethyst cross necklace for $200,000. She famously wore the cross to a London charity gala in 1987. And then finally, from the New York Post, a flight attendant mistakenly deploys the inflatable slide for stay on the job. A brand new flight attendant accidentally employed the inflatable slide while the plane was taxiing on her first day. The blunder cost the airline about $60,000.

The flight attendant was embarrassed. She was removed from duty, order back to training, according to the outlet. Did they at least let her slide down it? You know, it doesn't say in the story, but I would doubt that's the case. So this woman sent her ex-boyfriend a thousand texts after being dumped. Yikes. Do you think that's going to get him back? Do you think that's going to make him go, wow, she's so passionate about me, maybe I should go back to her.

A thousand texts after being dumped. The 28-year-old was banned from contacting her ex-boyfriend in any way whatsoever for 18 months and sentenced to 18 months of community service and also 30 days of rehab activity. The woman harassed her ex-boyfriend by texting him over a thousand times and calling him repeatedly as well.

Despite making it clearly he wanted nothing to do with her, she kept calling him and kept trying to rekindle their romance. Now, I don't think it would be justifiable. Let's say he really did her wrong, like he killed her dog or, I don't know. Oh, man. And she's just so mad. You still can't do that. But I would understand if, like, you're trying to yell at him, make him feel why you're so.

But to try to get him back by doing this? That's not going to work. That's not going to work at all. She's trying to get the message across. She still loves him. Yeah, he knows. He loves him. He knows.

He has passion. And also, if she can't have them really nobody was. And that's a scary part about this. That's the worst kind. And also, a restraining order is just a piece of paper. And people that are crazy do crazy things. And a piece of paper is not going to keep crazy people doing crazy things. Like, I would be scared to death.

And also, he has to go, why did I date her ever? Like, where did I miss? How did I not see absolutely a beep from the beginning? But maybe he enjoyed a little bit of her crazy, but then she got too crazy. Well, I don't think she got crazy until after he dumped her. And how about her now? She's in the national news for being a... Undaatable.

Who's going to be able to date her later? Google her name, she's out. You got to find someone that doesn't have a computer or no access to anything. Again, country boy. Amish. Amish. Someone in the middle of nowhere. Farmer wants a wife.

That show. Oh, my gosh. I feel so bad for him. Listen, I've had a similar-ish experience. I feel, I don't feel bad. Here's why I feel bad for her. So I kind of do. Obviously something isn't healthy within her.

So that stinks for her, that that's not able to be addressed and fixed, and maybe it will now. And now she's always going to be known as 28-year-old Michelle Felton who sent her ex-boyfriend 1,000 texts. And if I'm going out with Michelle Felton five years from now, and I'm some dude that lives where she lives,

and I'm, well, let me just Google her because everybody Googles, oh, my God. Oh, gosh. That's a deal breaker. Okay, but let's say she does work through it. She can say, I have a... And good for her, but it ain't for me. I have a certificate of therapy.

You take that everywhere you get. She went to BetterHelp University. Look, this shows... Like, she proved she got help. That's crazy. And literally crazy. That's from odditycentral.com. The other thing I wanted to talk about was I told Amy on the air,

this has been a few days ago, because she did the movie on HBO Max. It was a Christmas movie called Holiday Harmony. That's what's called? Yeah. And so that whole thing started where I got an email. They said, hey, can Amy do this? She goes.

She nails it. Comes back. We watch it. She nails it. And then she's like, I think I want to just, I don't know, take acting lessons. And that's what you've been doing. Yes. And I said, hey, if you want to act, like, you can't just sit around on your hands.

And you can't wait for the right time because there's never a right time. If you want to act, go do it. Go act. And people are like, are you telling Amy to leave to get rid of the show? Get rid of the show. And I'm not. But I'll tell you this. If, like I told Lunchbox on this game show deal.

Yeah, if I get on Survivor, I can go and come back. That's not what I said. I said, if you wanted to go and take a couple weeks and just go on audition for all these game shows, you can go do that. I love that. So same thing for you. If you want to go and there's like two or three weeks where it's like I just want to go audition for these roles, go do it. And this is to, and Eddie, I don't know about you, buddy. Yeah, yeah.

I'm waiting for mine. Like a taco truck. I don't know what that is. But that's with even anyone listening. There's never the perfect time to do anything and there's always going to be some sacrifice. you have to give. And if you really are passionate about something, you have to do it because no one's going to push you to do it because they don't care as much as you do about you. So that's what I meant by that. Not please, Amy, I'm begging you to leave the show.

Yeah, I think in the moment, I sort of made a comment like, you're trying to get me to go. And of course, that's why everybody jumped on it. And all of a sudden, I'm the snare drummer, everybody's beating on with a stick. Sorry. I should have, I know that's not what you were saying. I just was playing along with it. And I appreciate. the encouragement. I know exactly what you meant. And so, yeah, people don't need to think that you would go to do that. Trust me, that's not how Bobby would go about doing that.

How would I go by doing what? I don't know. Like convincing me to leave the show. This is how I'd convince you. Hey, I had a meeting with myself and it's time that you need to figure out a good way for you to get out of here. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But to everybody out there, if there's something that you're working towards you're like,

I'm just going to wait for the right moment. There's never a right moment. The right moment's when you commit to doing it. And that's it. That's the only right moment. I don't know what it is you're waiting for. but go do it. Are you waiting to be like a character actor when you're 60?

Ooh, they need those. They do. Oh, when they do a reboot of Golden Girls, that'll be perfect for you. Okay, so I am still actively taking lessons, and my goal is to audition for stuff this year, yes, but it's still... But in town? It's still January. But in town, that's not real stuff.

It's like people trying to do country music in Des Moines, Iowa. It's like, there may be a couple places there, but it's really, you got to be there. She can be in a music video? You know, a Luke Ryan music video? Is she going to be on Anyway, moving on. This story of the day. This story comes us from Morgan County, Georgia.

A 28-year-old man went into Walmart, got a bunch of items, and went through the self-checkout. The only problem is he didn't scan all the items, stole about $165 worth of stuff. And when they busted him, they said, hey, can I keep the stuff that I paid for? They're like, yeah, we'll put it in your car for you.

He goes, here are my keys. They popped the trunk. No way. 37 pounds of marijuana. Dang. That's a good one. They just like baited him there. I mean, that was great.

Well, I don't know they knew he had that. No, they had no idea. He was just an idiot. I don't know that they baited him as much as they were just fortunate that he was like double it. Yeah. Yeah, okay, help me.

Yeah, yeah, put that in there. They're gonna let you keep the stuff. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. Thank you guys for hanging out with us on the Bobby Bone Show podcast. a really long, fun conversation with Hardy.

I mean, he came in. We talked about the fact that he thinks his place was haunted by Native American ghosts. Wouldn't that be accurate? Yes, because of artifacts he collects. And this isn't, I don't, he's not like maybe. He's, he's true about it. He's serious. He's for sure.

We will see you tomorrow. Have a great day. Goodbye, everybody. The Bobby Bowl show. A win is a win. A win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying. Yep, that's me, Cliford Taylor the 4th.
