Morning studio. Morning. So there's a TikTok trend and they say if you put lemon into your coffee, it helps contribute to weight loss. And so people have started doing it. And now they're saying,

listen, it's not true. Quote, adding lemon into coffee will not promote weight loss, just like drinking lemon water has a little impact on body weight. Wasn't that a thing for a while, too? Well, it still is. I mean, the lemon water, lemon is good for you, and it can help, you know, with different parts of your body, like cleansing and detoxing.

But yeah, it may not equal weight loss for people. So if you're doing the lemon juice and the coffee thing, for the sake of losing weight, they say stop doing it. If you like it, do it? Yeah, I wonder if it tastes good. No way. However, drinking more calorie-free beverages, especially warm beverages can help to increase the feeling of fullness,

which may lead to eating smaller portions and weight loss, but it is not the lemon causing the weight loss. Earlier this year, there were a few TikTok accounts that said, hey, this is it, this is the thing. And so on TikTok, everybody starts just running with it and doing it. And then some people fake it just so that, because they get a lot of views. They're like, I've lost 14 pounds by doing this. Oh, my goodness. And it didn't happen, but they know they'll get a bunch of views.

The other story from earlier this week was doctors are blaming ticks, like a, not the bug, like when you get a tick. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like when you, your muscle twitches. Yes, that's good. On TikTok, because these girls have ticks now from too much TikTok. It's weird to say tick and TikTok. Yeah, that was a joke. So doctor, no, I thought it was like an onion story at first too.

But doctors around the world are reporting a surge and the number of teenage girls looking for medical attention for ticks they've developed like physical jerking movements and verbal outbursts. Oh, my. The surge was baffling until doctors. in the US, Canada and Australia started talking. They all realized that girls would come in with this. They were all fans of TikTok

and they would be on TikTok for hours and hours a day. Wow. They had been watching videos of people sharing their experience with Tourette's. And then doctors say teens started developing these ticks because they had watched too much of it. Wow. That's crazy.

One of them I was watching was these girls yelling the same word over and over again? I think was it beans? Was that one of them? I saw like three of them and they were just yelling out the word beans. You just saw this on your feet. Well, then another one was yelling.

Oh, yeah. I get into weird parts of TikTok. Another one that were yelling out syrup. Really? And it could have been fake. Yeah, because I'm like, people want views. But at the same time, if this is real, then it's just showing how impactful stuff like that over and over can be on our brain. Yeah, these girls are going, syrup!

Yeah. And they were like, we got this from watching too many TikToks. But you and I can do that. Like, we can, you know, it's like, flowers! Yeah. And just, and we go. Viral. But I don't think we will go viral. We're older men. Okay. But they're obviously at the doctor because they feel like something is wrong unless they're doing that as part of their act. Well, doctors around the world are saying that people are coming to them because... Exactly. Teen girls are getting ticks from TikTok.

Weird. Wow. Might be time to take a tick break. A tick break. A tick break. A tick break. A tick break from the TikTok. Doctor. Doctors say the teens develop in the ticks are likely to have preexisting diagnosis like depression or anxiety and this is what's actually bringing it out. This is doctor saying this. Yes. Wow. I'm shocked at all this. Like, if this is a real thing, like, that's crazy. Like, that TikTok would cause this. Well, I think TikTok is the conduit.

Yes. Of what got it. Like, if they're watching it over and over and they have things and it. Then it manifests. Like, bones, keep us updated. If you started doing this, we know what's up. I will stand. You're on there for how long?

Well, I don't know. Toilet. 30 minutes? It's really my toilet entertainment. That's your time frame. I don't think that you're on as long as these girls. I don't either. They're talking about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is 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. I heard the mailbag last week where you helped a mom with her Halloween costume dilemma. I wanted to see if you could help me with mine. We always let our kids choose their Halloween costumes,

but this year, the only thing my 11-year-old daughter wants to be is a devil. A sexy devil. Oh, no. What? All of her friends are dressing up in similar costumes like sexy nurse. Okay. This outfit has a short red skirt, fishnet stockings, and knee-high boots. It just seems a little limp inappropriate for her age.

My husband and other parents think it's fine. What? But I feel like they're too young. Am I making a big deal out of it or should I stand my ground from Casey? Boy, 11. It feels extremely inappropriate to me for an 11-year-old. Amy, you're up. Oh, yeah, no.

She said it seems sexy because it is sexy. And no. No, no. And I'm shocked that your husband is okay with it. And these other kids' parents, because, ugh, hate when other parents are doing things and you have to like, then your kid's the odd kid out. But no, that doesn't make sense to me at all. I would absolutely have to just work hard to try to find an alternative. Like a grape. Yeah. Yeah, how about that? A non-sexy grape. Hot dog. I don't know.

11. 11 just seems too young for anything to be labeled as a sexy devil. sexy anything. Eddie? Yeah, she's making a big deal out of it because she needs to make a big deal out of it. This is not appropriate. And her husband? What's wrong with you? You need to be in the same. She cannot let her daughter be this. Why would he want his 11-year-old to be a sexy devil?

That's red flag right there too. I don't know that it's red flag on the dad. Maybe the costume is sexy devil, but it isn't like a 25-year-old to wear it. I don't know. I don't like it. But I'm just trying to justify the dad going hey, I'm okay with that. Yeah, maybe he's just not. dialed in. He's like, oh, devil.

Maybe he was watching football. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what I mean. Like, he's not really paying attention because I don't see how he could be paying attention and then think this is okay. But I do think that it's going to be hard for her

because all of her friends are doing this. So you need to like validate her feelings. She has every, she can be upset with you. She can be mad. But you have to set this boundary now. Because now. We're all 40. Morgan, you're in your 20s still.

Do we sound old? No. And I don't think sexy is it. But I do think she could be the devil. She just is not sexy devil. Like maybe she's just in all red and she has horns. Maybe it's a compromise. What if it's cute devil?

Yeah. You take a little to sexy out. So no fishnets. But are fishnets itself? Yes, sexy, yes. That means sexy. Fishnet hodes are equal sexy. But what if the fish net hose are like under shorts and boots and you just see it like over your knee?

I don't feel like just fishnets for itself. I mean, you know, skanky hoe. If you put it that way, if you put it that way, then okay, fine. Maybe. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I mean, if you wear fishnets, does that mean you're automatically... No, no, for an 11-year-old? No, no, I know. That's what I'm saying. Like, if an 11-year-old wears fishnets and you only see her knees,

is that still... Sorry, I didn't say that. All I heard was sexy devil, so I'm assuming it's like a short skirt with, like, lots of fishnets showing. No, no, it could be, but what I said is what if you manipulate the costume and turn it into, like, a cute devil. So you're saying the devil wears jean shorts with a fishnet underneath? I'm saying she could in this situation? That way it's a compromise between the two. You may be on to something.

Like, hey, yeah, you get to put on this whole outfit, but then we're going to put a sheet over you. How about the devil's wearing like overalls? Not sexy. Unless you're on farmers only. And then you know what? It is. See?

This is so hard. It's 11. You can't be sexy. I know, but it's hard for parents with kids like wanting. I just feel like they're, yeah, growing up so fast. Casey, Mom, we're on your team. We just can't figure out your husband. I think that's what it is more.

anything. Yeah, can he ride in? Send a picture of this outfit to Eddie. What? And he'll be the judge. I don't want to send to me, buddy. But I'm curious. Okay, I'll take it.

I'm curious. Okay, there you go. We say no. You're right, Casey. Thank you for the email. Close it up. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag.

Yeah. If you want to email us, Morgan, what do they do? Mailbag at bobbybones.com. How we're going to draft our favorite cartoons? So the first show you think of, Amy, when I say, what's the best cartoon, is what? I go with the longest running, The Simpsons. It's strong. It's a tough one.

There are so many good cartoons. Lots of them. So Amy drafts The Simpsons as the first overall pick. Eddie? Rocky? Give me Scooby Scooby-Doo. Come on. Morgan?

I watch it all the time. I'm growing up, so SpongeBob Squarepants. Dang, that was going to be the one that I took. Under the Sea. No, that's Little Mermaid. Oh, what does he say? What does Friend Promp say? I'm in the pie now, under the seat. That's what I just said.

No, you didn't. I just said Under the Sea, the Pineapple, Under the Seat. Cartoons. And it can be any cartoon, right? This is your show. Tell us. Yeah, it's true, Bones. You can do what you want. I mean, the list is just cartoons.

Okay. Oh, Ray's up. Go ahead, Ray. I'm gonna go with Family Guy. It's up to me now. I'm gonna go with the Lion King. Oh, wow. Is that a TV show? No.

It was a cartoon movie? Cartoon. Oh, well, let's just open a world of things. I thought it had to be a TV show. I never said, I just said cartoons. Well, okay then. Okay. Secondly, I'm going to go

Shrek. Okay. We all entered this as TV shows. You do see that when it gets around to you, you're getting like the good movies. That's because you guys didn't pick them. We can also go good movies too, Amy. There's a lot left.

Okay, bring it back around. Wait, but what did I do wrong here? Nothing. Nothing. That's your choice. Well, she's jumping all over me. I'm not. I'm questioning.

Let me tell you something, though, Bones. The voter's going to be like, E, is that a real cartoon or is that an animated movie? So that's on you, bud. But it's a cartoon. I get it. Great. Ray?

This is wide open right now. Garfield? Interesting. You may have just lost it right there, Ray. I went with my favorite cartoon back as a kid, and I went with my favorite cartoon as an adult, so I don't know what else to do. Morgan?

Rugrats. But I got laughed at. Well, in the last draft, you did one, you yelled. This is for the chick. You got like no votes. True. Eddie? Give me the classic.

I mean, this reminds me of every Saturday morning in my life. Looney Tunes. Amy? So torn with what to do right now. Toy Story? There you go. I like how you jump on me, then you get on the train, too. I like it, Amy.

Why not? Eddie, nobody's going to be judging our things being like, I don't know if this is an animated movie or a cartoon. Have you ever jumped on Facebook? I don't. I don't know what. No, I don't. Okay, last round. Amy, you're up. The Flintstones.

Good one. Eddie? Yeah, I wanted that one. Bones, I'm between two really good ones. Should I go traditional cartoon or movie cartoon like you've done? Just go. I'm going to add the movie. Give me Frozen, the biggest movie cartoon out there.

Morgan? I'm sticking with all of the animated cartoons I watched younger, and I'm going fairly odd parents. Ray? King of the Hill. I think my final pick is going to be because I'm the last one Here's what I'm weighing

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Yes Good one Beavis and Butthead Good one Ne Rick and Morty I love

Yeah you love that Looney tunes I already got it That was my second But I'm gonna steal it You could do like Bugs Bunny I'm gonna go Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Okay

All our teams drafted? Yeah. You don't feel so good about it, Eddie? Not really. I mean, it's because I had Charlie Brown kind of as a backup. But, man, that whole movie thing threw me off.

But you're right, that's a cartoon too, so who cares? Amy has the Simpsons, Toy Story, and Flintstones. Eddie has Scooby-Doo, Looney Tunes, and Frozen. Let it go.

Morgan has SpongeBob, Rugrats, and fairly odd parents. Feel good about it. Ramundo has family guy, Garfield, and King of the Hill. Decent. Not going to be last place, but not first. And then I have the Lion King, Shrek, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So we'll see if my strategy of picking movies works.

We shall see. A vote at Bobbybones.com until 6 p.m. We'll be taking your votes. Pick the whole team you like, you know? Not just the first round. First round pick is easiest for the first person. Pick the whole team you like. All right, thank you guys.

Tell me something good. So a few weeks ago in Michigan, some firefighters were called because a kitten was stuck in a drain. So they rescued this cat. This guy, Brandon Mulvaney, he's the firefighter that went down. He went like 10 feet down a pipe till he got to the kitten, rescued it. Then they had to turn the kitten over

to the county animal care center. Then the kitten got cleared by a vet. Took a couple weeks healthy enough to get adopted. And the same firefighter, Brandon, that saved the kitten, showed up to adopt the kitten. Don't you have to name it something like based on the situation,

like a little pipey or something? Yeah, I thought pipey. That'd be a good one. Did you think pipe drain? No, Drainy makes me feel like I'm having some sort of allergy issue. Well, he named him Huntley.

Oh, Huntley. Maybe after somebody in his life. And then I wonder if as it's sitting there, the rest of the fire crew is looking, I'm like, dude, you got to adopt that cat. A little pressure in him a little bit. Yeah, like, dude, bro, come on. You saved the cat. Go adopt the cat. No, it wasn't.

So where the cat went down the drain was at the intersection of Huntley and Bridgeton roads. There you go. There had to be something. That makes sense. themed about that cat's name. Okay, that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University,

but it hits harder than we realize. It's not just numbers in a bank account. It's the anxiety that keeps you up at night. It's the tension that it can create in relationships and that constant feeling of, am I doing enough? There are moments where it's overwhelming, where no matter how hard you work, you feel like you just can't quite get ahead.

And what you learn is that stress isn't just financial. It's emotional. That's why it's important to check in with yourself because struggling and struggling with money doesn't mean you fail. It means you might need support in a different way. Therapy can help you unpack the stress, the pressure, even the beliefs that you've carried about money for years. And with better help, you can get matched with a licensed therapist who fits your needs.

The five most fun facts of the week as curated by Amy. Let's go. So Bill Withers wrote Ain't No Sunshine when he was working at a factory making toilet seats for airplanes, and he intended to write more lyrics for the part where he repeats, I know, 26 times. I know, I know, I know. Yeah. You know this story? Yes.

I'm big Bill Withers guy. I know. Yeah. But he just, other musicians were like, no, you should leave that. But, I mean, it was just filler for him until it wasn't. Bill Wethers' other songs include Lovely day Lovely day

Lovely day He could have put something in there He just kept repeating it Also lean on me When you're not strong Yeah Bill Wethers was awesome man All right what else you got? Here we go Number four

So Barry White was a gang member As a teenager But after he went to jail And while he was there he heard Elvis's song on the radio He decided hey When I get out I think I'm going to try to get into music I love Barry White. Good for him.

Do you know any other Barry White songs? No, not on the top of my head. Me either. Probably would know him if I heard him. But it's good love making music. That's what they say. I'm sure this would have made a lot of money, though, for him. When I think of love making music, though, I think of Al Green.

More than I do Barry White. I think of one Barry White song, but I think of Al Green. When it's love making music, I go Al Green. Okay, thank you for asking. Number three. So gin and tonic, popular little mixture for a drink. It was invented in the early 19th century simply to make anti-malarial medication more palatable. Dang.

So it's like a chaser to anti-malarial medication? Yeah, I guess it's supposed to make it easier to take and down and then it's stuck. And now people get gin and tonics all over. Also, cocaine used to be in Coke. That's right. That's a fact. Oh. Not very fun, though, Boone.

Why not? It is true. It is kind of fun. That sounds pretty fun. Yeah. It sounds like Coke is a rock. All right next. Number two.

So Kit Katz are made using imperfect Kit Katz. It's kind of cool. So Nestle leaves no Kit Kat uneaten ever. So every rejected Kit Kat is mashed into a pace that's used to fill the wafer part of a Kit Kat. So every time you're eating a Kit Kat, you're consuming layers of Kit Katz within Kit Kat. I just had some Halloween Kit Katz that were green, like white chocolate green. They're not good. They're not good.

Oh. I guess if you like white chocolate. I don't need a white chocolate kit cat. I don't even like white chocolate. I know what I saw. Key lime Kit Kat also. Oh, yeah. I don't think we need to mess with Kit Katz.

Remember you went... They're like the best candy. Onto Japan and had... That's right. Green tea kit cats. Yeah, you brought us back all kinds. When did green tea even become like a good flavor of stuff? I don't know.

It's not, it's just not a good flavor. Like green tea should be retired from flavors. It's good for a tea, but green tea flavor, that's it. Number one. So I thought this is cool. In Germany, a McDonald's has a McBoat location, which has a float-through instead of a drive-through. So you can paddle up on a dock, place your order, and then it's brought out to you by the staff. And it's called McDone.

And it's called. You got a stroke right then? It's called, it's a McBot-McDohmonds. Okay. That was the best part of a fun fact. Sorry. But, hey, if you ever go to Germany, find the McBoat. What if you just went to Germany to find this big boat?

In Lake Travis and Austin, they had a barbecue place on a lake on a boat. You could drive up to it and order barbecue sandwiches. That's cool. Or they also had a jet ski and you could order and they'd run it out to you. When I was in Florida last time, there was a guy on a little motor inflatable boat selling ice cream. I thought that was cool, too. Oh, that's smart. An inflatable boat.

Yeah. What's an inflatable boat? It's almost like a life raft, but it had a motor in the back. Oh, yeah, yeah. Ice cream. And he just like, well, come over to your. boat and sell it to you? No, no, to the shore. Oh, yeah, not to other boats. Okay. Pretty cool.

Maybe those are my five fun facts. Fun fact Friday. Here's a voicemail we got from Emily. Every time I come to Nashville, I have my eyes peeled to run into y'all, and I never do. But we're going to be there Thursday through Sunday, and you best believe if I run into y'all, as long as y'all aren't eating, I'm going to come up to y'all. I wish y'all the best. Do it.

Come on. Especially if Eddie's eating. They're not going to find me. I don't go anywhere. I don't either. I literally go nowhere. Sam, I don't either. Cazily.

Here's a voicemail from her. I'm nine years old. I have a morning cornice to view. What's more amazing than a talking dog? A spelling bee. Why did the football coach go to the bank to get his quarter back? That's all for now. See you later.

Love it. Amy's comes up in about 15 minutes. Here's one from Dan. I just wanted to point out that happily married here, but Amy's voice is probably the best radio voice I've ever heard. She could read the Bible, I think, and I think I would just enjoy listening to it. Oh, I've got to say, have a great day, guys. Interesting, and now...

Okay. Well, maybe he finds the Bible to be boring. That's what I think he's saying. No, no, I know, but I'm saying that's... I mean, I think... The Bible really has some interesting stuff in it. I know. Yeah.

It's fascinating stuff. Here we go. Here's the next one. For the love of God, please tell Bobby that he is rolling a... Die. Two die make a dice. Okay, singular. Dye. Plural. Dice. Please. Thank you. You're a little dramatic there. If I go, hey, guys, I'm going to roll this dye.

That sounds weird. Everyone's like, okay, Bobby, who are you? Fru-Fru? What are you going to Wall Street next? Fancy boy? I would think you're talking about, like, dying. I'm going to roll one of these dice. Because who rolls a dice? Yeah, I guess I'm just dumb. Please, stop doing that, please.

So when we roll the die, I don't think I can call it die. That's weird, man. It's hard. It's not. I'm sure it's right, but it feels weird. Yeah. Thank you for your call, though. A little dramatic, but thank you for your call. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So a third of people won't sit down when they go to the bathroom outside of their house. And I was like, only a third? What? I used to be like that. But if I really got to go, I just got to go. I'll do things to make it easier. Like I'll wrap the toilet seat and toilet paper. Oh, mm-hmm. Yeah, but you all have it easy. to number one, you stand. That's true. Yeah, that's...

So 50% of the time. But still, if you have to go, I'm just, I'm not going to hurt myself. I'm having so many stomach problems anyway. But yeah, I don't know. I expect most people use the bathroom if they had to at the mall. According to a survey,

the scariest places to go are the office, a bar, friends house, or sporting events. The office is nothing. You're there so much. It feels like second home. Oh. Except we don't have hot water

in our sink in the bathroom, so I have to wash my hands in the sink in the kitchen. Which is weird. Oh, tough life. It's tough here. Wait, do you have to wash your hands with hot water? That's the only way to do it.

That's the way you're supposed to do it. Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, I have soap. Yeah, but I like hot water. Sometimes I'll do cold water soap if there's other people in the kitchen because I want to walk out and have them not hearing me wash my hands. So I'll do cold water wash sometimes. All right.

So from the COVID people in the room or people that have had COVID, smell and taste, where are we with that? All back. All back. Oregon? Nope. Still don't have my smell. I have my taste back. I have how to get Morgan's smell back.

Okay. I saw a study to restore loss of smell, and sciences are zapping people when they, like, an odor comes by, and then you zap them, and then it shocks their brain into smelling what it is. Do we start out of the dog shocker? That's great. So what we'll do is we'll put some meat in front of you. We'll put right in front of your nose, and then we'll shock you right when it's there.

Oh, my gosh. This sounds very intense. We'll see if it brings it back. Is there any more science to that other than just shocking somebody? Well, it's technically an implant that's going to zap the brain, and it'll help people get their smell back. But, I mean, we could do our version. I'd rather just not have my smell than risk putting an implant in my brain.

Yeah, that's crazy. And seeing what happens. Yeah, what else? So, do you know the most dangerous sport? Soccer. Soccer? I mean, I'll give you a few to choose from. Rugby?

Rugby. Oh, I'm thinking of stuff on foot. Okay, probably something on a machine. Or it could be. On a machine. What do you have? Well, horseback riding. That has been determined as the most.

dangerous sport for hospitalizations and stuff like that, which Ashley McBride, she's on Women of I Heart Country this weekend, and I interviewed her, and she was talking about her horse riding accident. And the one I was on got a little bit spooked, and my sturp was just long enough that I lost my stirrup on the right side. It knocked me out, couldn't walk unassisted, so we had to wait until I could walk. And they put stools on the stage at different areas so that I could balance myself, because when you have a grade three concussion, you're really dizzy a lot of the time, just turning your head too fast can do that. Crazy.

Great three concussion. So if you're ever on a horse, be careful. And she's a seasoned rider. Well, I should cancel my equestrian lesson for today. Yeah, you should. Be safe. I'm Amy. I know what that is.

All right, go ahead. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home it's something good. There's a fourth grade teacher at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

And a couple years ago, she started a Facebook page called Franklin Bedtime Stories where every Thursday a student or a teacher reads a Facebook live story. Well, a few weeks ago, she got surgery because she had a brain tumor in her head. She got it removed. But just to show her students that she's all right, she went live last Thursday to read a bedtime story to them. Pretty cool. From her hospital bed. Dang, from the bed.

Yeah. That makes it real real. Obviously, it was a tearjerker, but everyone was so glad to see her in good spirits and ready to recover. Dang, a brain tumor? Big time. That is big time. Like I got nervous just getting put under

whenever I was getting a colonoscopy and an endoscopy. Imagine you're getting put under because they've got to go under your brain. That is scary as crap. Because I'm thinking, what if I never wake up? And all they're doing is putting a tube at my butt. Right, that was yours.

That's all it was. Herds is a real serious. Wow, and then she did it from the hospital bed. That's amazing. That is what it's all about. That was tell me something good. What's happening, everybody? According to this survey,

72% of men admit to eating whenever they're stressed out. For me, it's now video games. If I need a second to decompress, I don't know about stress, but to decompress, I will go and put on my headset or I will mute the TV and listen to a podcast and I'll play mad in football.

Like, that's it. And I don't get in there and play for hours at a time. And I don't even really play with people online anymore. But I will go in and mine is video games. Food is number one for dudes. Then drinking, which doesn't feel safe. No. No, it's not good. Seems like that's a slippery slope you go down. Stress when drinking might make you more stressed. And then watching sports is at number three. Eddie, if you're stressed, what do you do? You're dude. I used to drink and I used to eat a lot, but now I just like to go play golf. My big thing is like, just let me go play golf. I'll be back in four

hours. Oh, it's hard to go do that though. Yeah, I do about like, I try to do it. I try to do it once a week, but I haven't in like a month. So that or walk the dog. I'll be back in two hours. That one's... Two hours. I was going to say that one's easier just to go do. Sometimes, man, I just get lost.

How do you just disappear for two hours? Does your dog look up at you and go, dude, let's go home. The dog won't stop. The dog will go for three hours if I let her. Amy, what do you do? You're not a guy. Yeah, I mean, I go, I swing both ways. Like, I will either not eat.

That's an interesting way to describe that. Sorry. Go ahead. Well, I see. Okay, so I either don't eat. If I'm stressed or I eat when I'm stressed, and either is fine. I just kind of do whatever I need to do to make myself feel okay in the moment. She has an interesting way describing things.

Both ways. She swings both ways. Okay, I should say the pendulum swings for me. There you go. All right, let's go over and do the morning corny with Amy. The morning corny. Where does a ghost go on vacation? Where does a ghost go on vacation?

Malibu. All right. That was the morning corny. If you get COVID, pretty much now you can get it again after about a year. That's what they're saying. The Yale School of Public Health analyzed data on natural immunity to estimate how often unvaccinated people can expect to become reinfected with COVID. And it is 12 to 16 months or so. Eddie, you haven't got it twice, have you?

No, and I got it a year and a half ago, right? But you also got vaccinated. I did. I got vaccinated, obviously. I'm a big backs guy. And I think if I would have gotten it, I'd have gotten it by now. Because I have friends that got vaccinated and still ended up with COVID. But when I went to the Razorbike football game, I was spitting, kissing, hugging.

It was a homecoming. For sure, I would have got it then. Yeah, it's been very interesting to think about, yeah, all the places we've met. I got a shield around me. And we've never gotten. Study me. Because I am invincible. Famous last words.

I know. And then next week. Extremely famous last words. Bobby gets sick. Morgan, how long ago did you get COVID? It's been about two months now, close to two months. So you're good. I'm good for at least another 10, right?

But I mean, Morgan went a long time without getting it. And then blah, blah. She got it. What does that sound again? What's the sound of getting COVID? Blala. Blah. Just like that.

Like, I just think, yeah, I think any day one of us could get it, even if we haven't gotten it yet. The Whitney Houston hologram concert debuts on the strip in Vegas on the 26th. So next week, would you rather go to a concert like this with a hologram of Whitney Houston

or would you rather go and watch like a tribute show with people, real humans who are paying tribute to Whitney singing songs? Ooh, good question. I go hologram because I guess it would just be kind of cool. The debut of an evening with Whitney,

the Whitney Houston hologram concert is set for October 20, at Harris Las Vegas, a live band, singers, dancers, and Whitney as a hologram. That's cool. That's cool. So there's going to be other people up there. Yes, but I wish they were all holograms. I wish they were like Shucky Cheese or like Showbiz Pizza. The rat, do they call it?

Dom, Dom, Dom. Yeah. What do they call it? Animatronics? Yeah, and they were terrible. So bad. Don't get too close because you can hear all the pumps and the springs going in and out. Which one?

Was that showbiz or was that? Both. Both. They both had the band. Yes. But Showbiz had the big bear. And the closer you got to it, the creepier it looked. Yeah.

The eyes were weird. It had like three motions. But it was awesome. That was the coolest, craziest thing. I want to hate on this hologram thing, but I've gone to the Pink Floyd Laser Show before and loved it. Me too. And it wasn't even them as a band. It was like just doing lasers of like images and song titles.

Yeah. Oh, showbiz pizza fiesta. And they had the full band up there. I'm looking at it now. I guess they both had it. But I'm looking at Showbiz Pizza Fiesta right now. man, as a kid. I mean, these machines, and one of them would always be broken.

So, like, one of the animals up there wouldn't move at all. And the rest of them were like, the symbols were never exactly right on. Maybe they wouldn't even touch. And you were still here, what were you going to say, Amy? Oh, I just was thinking, like a hologram festival would be cool of all. You have, like, Whitney, Tupac, Elvis. It's like a music festival of all the people that have passed. A little dark.

Yeah, but cool. Joe Diffy. You know, Joe Diffy and Tupac on the same stage would definitely be into. It would be so fun.

How many times do you think you cry in a month? Depends on the month, but okay, there's 30 or 31 days. Oh, man. That actually... Just kidding. But, I mean, it can be up there. You be out there? Okay, my 10 of the days maybe?

10 times a month? 10 of the 30. Yeah, Eddie, you? I don't cry, man. My son asked me the day. He's like, Dad, have you ever cried? I'm like, nah, not really. You choked up on the other day when L.V. Shane played my boy.

You're right. And then I think when I announced my adoption, I probably cried a little bit there. So, maybe... So two days. Two days a month. Let's just go with this month. A new survey found the average man cries four times a month. Whoa.

While women cry only three times a month. I do think it depends on what you have going on. Hey, let's not skip you. How many times do you cry this week? Almost this week? No, none. None, none, none. I am not a big cryer.

I wish I were. Like, I'm not someone who goes out of you shouldn't cry. I am so dead on the top and bottom part of my emotional scale. I can never get that happy. I never get so happy and I never get so sad because I just kind of had those things cut out from my life, where I'm always like, you know what, it's probably not going to work out anyway. So when it doesn't work out, I'm not that sad. And if it does, I'm like, you know, it's probably not going to last that long. So I kind of stay in this little dead part, you know,

for a lot of my life. But I would say maybe three times a year. Wow. Interesting. Maybe once every four months. I told you, Ted Lassow, the Jamie Tart scene came on and his dad is there and they hadn't really spending time together and the whole situation. And I started crying and I was like, I can't stop. Oh, my goodness. And Kail. I was like, are you all right? And then once you realize I was really crying and not kidding crying, you know, she was quite comforting. But for her, she was like, wow, are you crying? It was like seeing a lion at the zoo.

Wow. Like, wow, look at this. It is real. That's crazy. So maybe you're crying more and more. It doesn't sound like more and more. It says three times a year. Yeah, I know.

But I mean, how many times did you cry 10 years ago? None for 10 years. Exactly. I do think that I am, I think you're on to something there where I think I have opened myself up a bit. I cried at my wedding. So, yes, I think you're right. I think I do probably allow more emotion in now that I am married

than I ever have before. In 10 years, you're going to be like Amy, crying every day. I'm going to be like how many days this month? Okay, well, a little less. Also, I want to talk about Ramundo for a second because he's been invited to be part of a show. There is a documentary on HBO Max called The Way Down. And it's about a church that's

basically a cult. And it's like 20 minutes. Not basically. It is, right? It's like 20 minutes from where we do I'm not going to argue, Amy. Okay. And so, Ramundo was at that church trying to get in the front doors

and you put it on social media. Who reached out to you? One of the producers of the show said, hey, can we use your videos? And they asked me some questions. She said, the chase scene. There was a point when I go, oh my gosh, somebody's chasing me.

And she said, was that real or are you just faking that? And I said, no. There was a Lexus that circled me three times and made sure that I left the church parking line. Wow. You call that a chase scene?

Because honestly, I thought it was fate too, but... I just thought it was a car behind you in the parking line. Like a poor innocent car drives by and Ray's like, there they go. How did they find you? Possibly somebody following me and they're like, oh my gosh, this is a guy that was able to get because there was security. I told you guys.

There was other people that tried to get in and they did cop cars on both the entrances. I got lucky one of the entrances didn't have a cop car. So I rolled through, did video and they said, we're going to use that in the next, I believe it's early 2022. Yeah. They're going to put it a couple more episodes. The Way Down is crazy. Great. It's a great show.

It's three episodes of a documentary on. HBO Max about the woman who started a diet plan that said, hey, if you're skinnier, you're closer to God. And this is how you control eating. You just pray. And so then she took that success, that money and started the church. There's a lot of trouble down the road, too. I mean, it's wild. It's bizarre. Some twists and turns that I was not expecting. I thought, oh my goodness. So are they going to pay you? I mean, that's the thing. I need you guys to help me negotiate it maybe. I don't think your footage is worth anything.

Well, a sign and release, you just do that and don't get paid? Your footage is not worth anything. What a rip off. Like nothing? Not even like some coupons. You should charge what Amy charged, put her daughter on that box at Walmart for the basketball goal. Ray, let me negotiate this.

We can at least get you a free HBO Mac subscription. What did you tell them? We're still talking. She said I'll send over the sign and release. Just sign and roll. I mean, you don't have anything that good. I know, I just did three Instagram videos. I didn't know I was going to be in a documentary.

And that car wasn't really chasing you. It was, guys. It drove by you. Oh my gosh. It circled me. He said it's circled in three times. Okay. Do you still keep, do you have it?

What? All that. Of course. Yeah, it's archived in Instagram. Okay. Send back, say, $10,000 and just see what they say. They're going to laugh so high. Just see what they say.

Okay, they have money. I found this list of amendments to the Constitution that were never approved. Think if these would have been approved. Okay. 1878, they submitted that an executive council of three replaced the president. So it would be three people instead of one. Wow. That would just be, I don't know, better or worse, it would just be different.

Yeah, right? It would be more Supreme Court feeling than executive president feeling. In 1893, renaming this nation, the United States of the Earth. No. That would be crazy. That sounds huge. Well, listen, America Vespucci, whatever, you know, who were named after. That whole thing's kind of a crappy situation anyway.

But United States of its earth is interesting. 1916, all acts of war should be put to a national vote. Anyone voting yes had to register as a volunteer for service in the Army. Let's go. That's amazing. That's wild. Like, okay, if you say we go to war, then go fight war. Yeah, put your money where your mouth is.

Don't be sending off people that you think you're better than to fight while you sit your fat butts at home. That's basically what that is. 1938. The forbidding of drunkenness in the United States and all of its territories. Yeah, like drunk would be illegal. Well, that's probably Prohibition Time too, right? Where no alcohol. 1933, an attempt to limit personal wealth to $1 million.

I think we could probably limit that. I mean, listen, we got some of these guys with $200 billion. We got some people who can't afford to eat breakfast. But that was $1 million back then. My point is maybe it's a billion. Maybe once you hit $999,99 million, the rest of it starts to get don't. Because I'm a big capitalist guy,

but there's a point where it's just like, what are you going to do with that? We got homeless people everywhere, and you got $200 million. You're having fun shooting rockets into space while some people, you know, can't buy school clothes. Was that a direct shot at Elon? No, that would have been more of a Jeff Bezos.

But I guess both of them, because anybody who's super rich wants to go to space. Another one was an attempt to allow the American people to vote, period, later on on whether United States should go to war. Another one was the right to citizens to segregate themselves from others. Well, that one seems tricky. There's a lot of these. And some of these were just making marriage between races illegal. Oh, man.

Oof. That's crazy. Whoever submitted that. Like, can we cancel them now? Yeah, yeah. I don't even know who wrote that to even be submitted. Reveal that name. Let's go and cancel them from back in the day.

But anyway, I thought that was super interesting. It's always very small decisions that make huge impacts on how we're living our life today. Like somebody sat in a room and had to go through these. And they had to decide, you know what, do we call ourselves states of earth? Do people have to go in the Army if they vote yes on war? I don't hate that one. And I wonder how long those discussions were. They were like long discussions.

Like, well, let's think about this. And how many people are involved. Just imagine there and there are white wigs. In a house with no AC. Sitting in a room. Yeah. It's time for the good news. With Bobby.

Tell me something good. The New York Department of Sanitation helped the Bronx woman by rescuing her family photo albums from the garbage. Her name's Patricia. She had to move out of her apartment because it was damaged by Hurricane Ida. She moved in with her niece, leaving everything behind, including five photo albums, containing 125 years worth of family photos. She said her niece's stepson was cleaning out the apartment and through the photo albums in the garage. She's obviously upset.

But she called and said, hey, is there any way you can go look to the trash? And the department supervisor went and found the truck that was at that apartment on that day, still had trash in it, went into it, dug in it, and found all of the albums. Which he easily could have just said, no, the trash has already been dumped off at the dump. Yep. And it's also photo albums. So to some people, they could be like, well, it's not like. it's jewelry or a diamond ring. But he didn't.

Edward Clavello tracked down the truck, got in, found all the photo albums, which is pretty cool, and it definitely didn't need to do that. But that's what it's all about right there. Great job. That was Tell Me Something Good.

The Friday morning conversation with Larry Fleet. Larry, how are you, man? Man, I'm hanging around. What about you? I ain't seen you in a couple months since you've been over at the house? I know it.

I tell people all the time how good you are. Oh, well, thank you. I'm like, wait until you see this. this guy. I know you guys heard of him sound check a little bit. Sounds so good. Jeez, Louise. I got goosebumps. You only play like 15 seconds for making sure everything sounded good.

And you started playing and they were like, uh, this got good. Well, I'm trying. I've been practicing. Good for you. You've been to bedroom. Yeah. Learning some chords. In the bathroom.

That's where you get the best reverb, you know. I do kind of want to walk. I know you and I've walked through it before, but just for new listeners. Because I feel like there's so many people that are just now discovering you. You were like out of music and you were working back in Chattanooga. Doing what? Well, I was working in concrete, really. It's kind of doing a lot of construction work, but I had done that for a long time, so I kind of knew a lot about, you know, I'd done asphalt, paving and concrete and heating and air, whatever it was, you know, a bunch of stuff. So I got with this

company and I've become the guy that got to go around the job sites and mess with concrete, rebar, asphalt, whatever it was. I kind of knew a little bit about a lot. So that was my job. job, which was cool because I kind of worked my way up in that and didn't have to, you know, cut rebar and tie all that stuff anymore. I was getting to watch other people and make sure they're doing it right. Supervising a little bit. Exactly. Yeah, it was good. And so, and we'll fast forward just a bit, but you're at a wedding and you're also doing, playing a little music on the side just to make some money. Yeah. And you love music and you, but you had to work a real job at this point. So you're playing at a wedding, and then who was at the wedding who noticed you?

a little guy named Jake Owen. And he, yeah, I was making a little money on the side. But, I mean, it was for fun. And somebody needed me to come and play some songs. So I said, yeah, I'll do it. And there was money involved. So that was good, too. But I'm sitting there and Jake walks in.

And it was kind of in the middle of nowhere, too. Like, it was a beautiful farm. But I wouldn't expect Jake to come to this thing. And somebody said he was. And I thought, yeah, they're probably drunk or something. Sure enough, he'd come out there and he sat and watched me play for a long time. And at the end of the night, we just, we got to talking a little bit. And he tried to talk me into quitting my job.

I was like, well, I can't do that. Yeah, like, what am I going to do? He's like, well, you should go for this thing. I said, dude, I've tried to do this thing for a long time. And it didn't really work. So I can't, you know, just quit my job and go play tattoos or something. I mean, I ain't going to cut it. And he was like, no, no, man, I think you got it.

And I'll tell you what? just take me on a road with you and we'll see what happens and he did and a couple weeks later i was on the bus with him we went down to florida and played some shows and next week we're headed somewhere else and he's like you're going to quit that job and i said yeah i guess so so when and quit it and no lie it was like i don't know a week or two later it was like well i don't need you anymore you know i got these other shows going on i can't really take you on it and i was like what am i supposed to do now you know like i can't i don't know what to do So I kind of hung around a bit and just got back into writing songs with everybody.

And that started leading into other things. And then one of my heroes, Willie Nelson, I got the call to go on a row with him right after that too. So I was traveling around with Willie and playing this old guitar here and just singing for his crowd. And they got it. And it was cool. It was fun getting them to meet those guys and Willie. They were real good, Timmy's. Yeah.

And so here he is. And there's some more. Yeah, yeah. It's really an amazing story. And there's more of the story that I want to tell in a second. But you did kind of prime up the studio here with the performance. I do want you to get to this song here before we talk some more. Larry Fleet is here.

And this song is so good. It's called Where I Find God. You may have heard it on the radio. You may have streamed it. I don't know where you heard it. But if you do hear it, everybody kind of reacts the same way. And they're like, dang, like, I felt that. Like, I feel like there's a message in this song for people.

pretty much everybody going through something. They tend to find their own message in this song. Do you get a lot of that from people hitting you up about it? Yeah, I mean, because there was a lot of different when we wrote it. I wrote it with Connie Harrington, and she's one of my favorite writers. She wrote, I drive your truck for Lee Bryson, all the good stuff, you know. And it was her idea. She was like, I got this title where I find God, and she hit me up wanting to write it with me.

So I said, all right. And I said, well, I find God in a deer stand in a hayfield. And driving, you know, I live in Chattanooga, so I drive back and forth to Nashville all the time, writing songs and stuff. And I said, that's kind of where I do my, you know, praying or whatever. And she was like, well, yeah, I find, you know, God at the lake. And so we just started pretty much putting all of our places that we talk to God

and find God or whatever, you know, in a song there. and I put some few chords to it and voila, we got a song. But, yeah, a lot of people come up to me, and that's, it's helped them, you know, people have fought addiction or whatever, and they ask me if I have, and not necessarily, but I can see where they feel that. And, you know, a lot of people just, guys I go duck hunting with, we listen to that going to the duck blind, you know. So it's people have used it for weddings now and funerals. I feel like anybody can find their message in this song. So here it is.

Here's Larry Fleet. Let me say his name again, because you need to know it so you can respect it, so you can search it. Larry Fleet, here is where I find God. Rock bottom, sitting on an old bar store. Pay my tab and put me in a can't have to. He could see I was hurting. I wish I got his name because I didn't feed him. were saved me just a sand.

Yeah, out on fish just wouldn't bite. I put my paw down and float around. It's just so quiet. And I could hear my old man saying some just be still because you can't find peace like this or pill. And from a bar stool to that heaven room, Sunday morning in a church pew in a dear stand or a hay field

Little black and a whole lot of muscle shows. We're going to come back with Larry in just a second. One, I mean, a really hilarious story that, again, that I want to tell about how good of a dude you are, but also kind of an awkward conversation where Jake was like, hey, come over at the house. Can I tell that story? Yeah. Because that one's, that one's hilarious. Yeah, go for it. Okay. So another Jake story? Well, I'm kind of still stuck on that. Jake's like, quit your job. And then he's like, uh, uh, uh. One more Jake story, but it's not really about Jake as much as it is about Larry. Okay. And they kind of got it, Larry is. And so we'll come back.

I only know these stories because I was hanging out with Jake and Larry at the same time.

Here's a clip of the song that he just played here Where I Find God And then I want to play a little bit of Track number nine In Love with My Problems with our friend John Party How's the record been? People's been loving it? Oh yeah

Yeah, we messed around, made us a country record You did. It's a lot of people, yeah, people get it And, you know, it's a I'm proud of it Like, it's a singer-songwriter kind of thing. And, you know, I write with a lot of good songwriters, and they're pumped up about it because, you know,

it's country music. And the whole thing with stack of records is I wanted each song to kind of be a little different. Like, when I was growing up, I had a stack of records that my parents had, and it was everything from Ozzy Osbourne to Willie or Murrell or whoever, you know, or Otis Redding. So I got a little influence from all that, and I've tried to put a record together of stuff that I've written that kind of goes with that. How was it playing the Grand Ole Aubrey for the first time? You did that in September.

Yeah, that was pretty wild. You know, I kind of dreamed to get in there one day. And I tried to downplay it, you know, so I wouldn't be nervous when I get up there, but it didn't work. And I mean, I wanted to kind of do it a little different. So I brought my upright bass player and my buddy who plays Doebro for me. And we went and stood in a circle just us three, and I played this guitar, and we just did it old school. And it was really cool, and people, they were nice to us, and they seemed to like it. And it was a great moment. I had my little boy and my little girl with me and my wife and stuff, so they don't get to go to a lot with me.

But, you know, if I'm going to Grand Ole Opry, they're coming with me, you know. So it was cool. The story I wanted to share it because I learned it because I was hanging out with Jake and Larry at my house. and apparently Jake had invited you come over because they were having like a bonfire like they were hanging out of his house. Right. And he texts you and goes,

he says what? First off, we'll go back. I had worked 14 hours that day or something like that, 13 or 14 hours. And I was tired and I was sitting on the couch and I get this text. And it was like, hey man,

you'll come over to this little bonfire. We're going to have some people over and have a big bonfire and have some drinks and just sit around and pick a little bit. And I was like, Honestly, I was like, I don't know, man, I'm tired. You know, my wife's like, I mean, it's Jake Owen, you know.

Like, you know, this is when I first got to know. And she's like, maybe you ought to go. I was like, God, I'm tired. And I was like, all right, fine. So I got up and got ready and going to make my drive. So Jake's like, where is Larry? He's like, I just texted him. He said he's coming.

He's like, it's been an hour. It's been two hours. Jake didn't realize Larry was drive from Chattanooga. Oh, my goodness. I was on Mon Eagle Mountain when he called. He was like, where you at, bro? I was like, I'm on a mom. on Eagle Mountain. He's like, why? I was like, I live in Chattanooga. He's like, you're going to

drive like two and a half hours over here? I was like, yes, I am. And we, it was, but you know what, it paid off that. It was cool because we got over there. We played a lot. And it was that night, I had started, I never messed with social media very much, you know, and so I had a hundred followers on my Instagram. And that night, Jake is like posting about me. And I was like, look at this. All these followers are coming in. I had like a thousand by the end of the night. I was like, I have made it now. Larry says he's not big on social media, but him and I were talking,

and I was like, yeah, I got on one of these apps and bought some Bitcoin, whatever. And then it, like, bottomed out, like, two weeks later. And I get a message from him going, how's that Bitcoin doing? And that's all it said. And I was like, I'm going to leave that on red.

Right there. I got the message. Yeah. But you guys, check out his whole record. It's stack of records. It came out in late September, but it's so good. It has where I find God that he performed here earlier.

Let me play one more. Ray, play me track 10, because this is one of my favorites. Three chords and a lie. It's good stuff, man. Thank you. You got the whole thing. Are you now having a little success where you can put, like, lotion in your beard? Because it looks very, like, full.

Like, are you taking care of your beard in a new way? I've been, that successful. Oh, you have been that guy? Yeah. Yeah. That's how you get it. I mean, nothing helps it grow, but I guess it's manhood and just oscaron or something. You know, but, yeah, I got a guy in Chattanooga.

Chattanooga Beard Company. Matt Patty is his name, which I think is a cool name. And he just, he hooks it up. And he makes it all right there in his shop. Like, it's got little waxes and all kind of stuff. So I go by. They're about to make my own scent. And what is your own scent?

What would that consist of? It probably smell like winter green snuff and maybe some bourbon or something like that. Odd combo, but I'll take it. Hey, that's you. Have it. At Larry Fleet. You guys follow Larry Fleet. Great artist.

I do think you'll love the record. And where I find God is doing great. Larry, good to see you, friend. Yeah, you too. Thanks for having me. There is. Larry Fleet, everybody. Back to me.

Bobby Bone Show. Don't Harry up the day. Eddie is filling in for lunchbox. Oh, my goodness. An elementary school teacher, she has a reward box. And when a student gets the answer right, she says, hey, get something from the reward box.

Well, a couple students went up and got some marijuana edibles. Yeah, I saw that. One kid in particular picked the edibles, right? Yeah, one of them did, and then they went back and said, oh, I think I have some marijuana edibles, and she said, put that back. And then they go back to get another one. Well, it was another pack of marijuana edibles. I wonder if she knew that's what that was, because I saw the picture.

I read the story. Well, the scary thing is sometimes it looks like just candy, right? That's what I'm wondering. Was there a confusion on what she was putting in the box? And also, these kids don't look like they're nine. Like, how old is this class? They look like 14, 15 years old. I said elementary school, so that would be...

Maybe he's a tall kid. They blurred out his face in the picture because he's a kid. Oh, so he knew what he was getting. I don't know if he did or not, but when I read the story and saw the picture, it's like a blonde, you know, pretty school teacher. And they blurred the face out of the child because they didn't want it in the news. And they looked tall enough to be 15 or 16. So I guess the kid wouldn't have known that the kid just thought it was candy then, right? Right, yeah, yeah.

Out of all the other candy in the reward box. So then what does he do? Does he take it to someone and go, hey, look at the candy I got? And then they go, oh, that's not candy. Well, I would think when you get into a box of candies, you know which ones are candies because this one doesn't look like candies that you've ever seen before. I don't know. It kind of does. It looks like gummy stuff. No, yeah. Like some can look like gummies like the little sprink, the sugar coating on top. It looks like it would be like gummy squares.

But there is a certain smell that comes along with it. But if it's in the box, you don't really smell it. That's my point. Like, did the kid get it thinking it was candy? And then how did someone say, hey, that's not candy? Look, you're missing the point. The teacher shouldn't have had her edibles at school. The teachers the bone. No, no, no, no. I'm not missing that point at all. I'm just wondering how the edibles were found out.

Yeah. And how they got in there. Someone ate it and was super chill. Hey, man. No one raises their hands. We don't only care about this answer, Teach. Yeah, she's in trouble. I'm looking at her mugshot here.

Oh, mugshot. Mug shot. She no longer works at the school or the school district. Marijuana edibles found in teacher's reward box. Had to be an accident by her, too. Sure, of course. Those should not. It's not a place to hide your edibles.

In South Carolina is a state where you can't even have those, period. Correct. Okay. If it were in... Colorado. Yeah. California. Washington State.

Places like that, I don't think she would be in the big house. I think she would probably get in a slap on the wrist, like in trouble for having beer at school. Right. More than having an illegal drug. I mean, you couldn't even have beer in a reward box, though. That would be pretty nice, though. I would be real. Yeah, that stinks.

All right. Is that it, Eddie? Yep, that's your bonehead story of the day. Let's do Flashback Friday 1988. Flashback Friday. 33 years ago today, 1988, I was 8 years old. The biggest country song, don't play it yet, is Randy Travis, I told you so. Can you sing it?

Ooh, I don't know. I can. Will you pull that music down? And I told you so. I think that's it. I've told you so. Jam. Jam. I just listen to my grandma all the time.

Turn that up. A little too deep Randy Travis song for you? Oh, no, I know it. I love it. Why don't you sing it? You were looking at Eddie asking. I was looking at anybody. Oh, well, I don't know.

Sing it now, Amy. Oh, no, that's put the ball. Boo. Cheater. Boer. Morgan, do you ever heard that song? I think so, but I couldn't sing it back to you. Well, she was born in the 90s.

Yeah, it's crazy. It was 88. Right, but she was born in the 90s. But do you know? I was alive when this, I don't know this song. You don't? At all. Oh, he must not be...

He must not be a countryman. Down in the deep, deep South Texas. I guess we weren't listening to that. I told you so. That's jam, man. I got that tape at the gas station. I remember. Oh, wow.

All my grandma got it at the gas station. The biggest pop song is Bobby McFerrin. Don't worry, be happy. Don't worry. Be happy. Okay, that's what I was listening to right there. Don't worry, be happy. The biggest thing in pop culture in 1988.

Roseanne debuted on ABC. This show was so good back in the day. My mom loved it. We watched it all the time. I loved it because my mom loved it. And then it came back and then she started tweeting and then she killed the show. Yeah. And I think the Conners is still on now and doing really well without her. Without her. It's terrible. That's got a hurt. It would be like if I left and this was the Raimundo show and it just did even better. I got root for you guys that. I'd be like, dang. Like that hurts a little bit. That's a stretch though. No, I don't think it is. I told Amy one time. You're very talented.

It would be difficult to do what you do. He told me that one time. He told you Why would you not tell me that? Yeah, that's weird. Right and I talk. Amy, let me tell you about Bobby, real quick. All right, that's the deal. We're done with today. Have a great weekend.

Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank will be on Monday. And hopefully you'll be back with us. We'll see you then. Bye, everybody.
