You'll hear John Michael, Montgomery later on in the show. I thought the interview was pretty cool. Especially when he's talking about the Offer 1 stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:34 You know, and he cut this, they cut it. I'll let you hear him tell the story. And just to know who did it first, like I didn't know a lot of that stuff. I'll be there. I always do those background ones. Anyway, that's coming up. This guy was busted with 44 diamonds in his butt. Okay, yeah, why? Why?
Starting point is 00:02:56 That's keystering, right? Yes. That would be called keystering. Or? A New Mexico man faces multiple charges after police found over four dozen diamonds in a bag inside his butt. Police say 44 diamonds in a baggie in his behind. Bottom line, that's a lot of booty. Padilla reportedly had more than a rare hiding place.
Starting point is 00:03:17 That's a lot of booty. You get it. Like pirates, booty and booty butt. Yeah. Police claim he had a knife and they say he didn't pull it, but he did pull that baggie out of, well, you know. Wow. There you go. I mean, diamonds are small.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yeah, but 44 of them? I mean, I was not thinking about it. Like, they're not huge diamonds. I guess it's possible. But 44 of them? It's a lot. Yeah. I put up on my Instagram,
Starting point is 00:03:45 I throw back Thursday picture yesterday. Did you happen to see it? I did. And it had all the right things. Like the pager was probably my favorite part. Ooh, but the hat and the necklace is pretty strong. You got to bring that look back, man. If that look comes back, I.
Starting point is 00:04:01 If you go over to my Instagram, Mr. Bobby bones, I'm in, well, it looks like mom jeans because they're a little big. Baggy. And like a little too stonewashed. Yeah, they're, mm-hmm. Definitely from Mervins. I've got a pager on my front pocket. I've got like a woven belt. I've got an Adidas shirt tucked in with a necklace.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I don't know what kind of necklace that is. It's like a choker. Is it a puka? I don't know. I've got a goatee with long sideburn. Oh my gosh. And some kind of bucket hat. It's awesome, dude.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Like, everything's wrong. Everything. Or right. Morgan number two. I was probably like 19 when this was taken. I would think I'm like 19 or so. What do you think about this guy? I like...
Starting point is 00:04:45 Did you see the picture? Yes. You look so different. I don't even feel like I know you. Well, that means. You. That doesn't even look like you. You have dad jeans on.
Starting point is 00:04:55 I do. But they weren't dad jeans in there. Those are cool. Cool jeans. Or-ish, coolish, coolish jeans. And the sideburns. bucket hat cool too? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I don't know. Yes, yes. Listen, there was a guy I went to high school with Brian Wagner, coolest dude in school, and he looked just like that. He dressed just like that every day. Well, I don't recall that. I was chasing it, though, man. You got to admire me because I was committed to the look.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Yeah, you were. Yeah. It's always fun to see who thinks those pictures are funny. What were you doing there? Do you remember? Yeah, singing karaoke. Oh. I even know the song I was singing.
Starting point is 00:05:26 What's song? Four Nauvelons. What's up? Oh, yeah? Yeah. I remember it. Were you working or you there for fun? I was there for fun.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It was the El Chico's in the mall, Mexican restaurant. I thought that you were like, you know, working some radio event or something. I vividly, somebody had posted this and tag me in it, and I vividly remember all of this. And I was like, holy crap. I was 19. And who would page you? Friends, work? Who cares?
Starting point is 00:05:50 I just had a page around. Anyone? I'm sure it worked. Oh, my gosh. Why does your hair like your... Why are you still hating? You're still going? He looks like a redhead.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Oh, my God. Yeah, why does your hair look red on your face? Are you a redhead bone? You just never told us? It's probably a filter. Did you make that necklace or buy it? Probably. Come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:06:10 You need the words? 25 years now my life is good. Now, I was karaoke. I remember the skate care like crap on the song. 25 years now my life is real. Trying to get that great big deal of fun. I didn't even know if that goes. Or whatever that means.
Starting point is 00:06:34 When I'm a lot of hit wonder She was I saw her in the Grammys Yeah she writes a ton of hits on She's like a writer and a That's what she is Session player And like huge writer
Starting point is 00:06:49 One of the best writers Yeah What's her name? What's her name? Patty? Yeah Brotherhood of man For whatever that means
Starting point is 00:07:02 This is my part where I'd get real good I just get passionate Come on, boss And I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed in tune get it all out to what's in my head and I am feeling
Starting point is 00:07:14 a little peculiar and you get it all with the heart there when you do that. Her name's Linda Perry. Linda Perry, that's it. You want to know some songs she's written? Yes. Beautiful by Christine Aguilera
Starting point is 00:07:25 Dixie Chick's song. She wrote Get the Party Started out for Pink. She wrote I'm coming out. That one? Wow. Yeah. I mean, she has written a ton of songs. So, but anytime they do one of those, like, she's like cool and tattooy.
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yes, yes, yes. She looks very different than she did when she sang that song. Yeah, she's done a lot of stuff. So anyway, that picture on my throwback Thursday was solid. It was a solid TBT. Yeah. Almost didn't post it a little bit. Why?
Starting point is 00:07:56 Nah. Well, because what happens, anytime I post anything, some of these, like, old school country blogs, like take shots at me and make memes out of it. And I was like, do I want to do this? But then I just can't let them dictate what I put out there And if I can't laugh at me, then Exactly Who cares
Starting point is 00:08:11 But I just get hammered by these people They don't like what I stand for I'm a little disappointed that your braided belt Isn't longer and knotted up You know how you should have been Should have been a little longer And by a kid's version of it And then you looped through
Starting point is 00:08:22 And then you loop it through Yeah I think that's That's pretty much it As far as today goes I got a call back about a dog Yesterday, a couple dogs At some rescue places
Starting point is 00:08:35 reach out to me, which again, there's a rescue all over the country. And two different. The two kinds of dogs that I actually looked at, one was the French bulldog. I got a bunch of calls from rescues of French bulldogs.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Wow. Yeah. And the other was a mini Australian shepherd, I think is what it was. We didn't pitch that to you. I know, that's the one I was like looking at. I had an Australian puppy as a kid. Hold on me see the exact name. It was
Starting point is 00:09:03 I looked at, oh yeah, a mini Australian Shepherd. Look at them. Are those like blue healers? Look at mini Australian Shepherd. They're sheep dogs. Yeah. A small version of it.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Those are cute. Real cute. Well, I got to look at the mini hold, please. You know, they make one that's mixed with a poodle that makes it hypo. I don't want a poodle. I'm saying it makes it hypoallergenic. So they mix everything with poodles now? It's like an Aussie doodoo.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Just put. Yeah, doodle. I don't know what it is. I can always just switch it up and do pot belly pig. Dude, that would be awesome. They're going to get bigger than you think, though. So what? And then you take them everywhere? What, Amy?
Starting point is 00:09:39 It's a mini Aussie doodle and now I'm obsessed. Oh my gosh, Aussie doodle. Let me see what it looks like. Okay. Let me see the mini Aussie doodle. Yeah, I'm just not a big poodle guy. What that isn't, it still looks like Aussie though. Yeah, but I know I'm a hard-dor-thoodle-in- There just makes it hypoallergenic. That's all the poo does.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Hey, you know what I had as a kid. The poo or the doodle. The poo part or the doodle part, it just makes it like not shed. What Eddie? I had a ferret growing up. Like, you would love a ferret. I don't want a ferret. I know.
Starting point is 00:10:09 I had hairless rats for a while. Yes. You did? Yeah. And what would you do with those? Play with them, and let them out of the cage. They were kind of disgusting.
Starting point is 00:10:16 They were big. But then I traveled so much. A listener took them. I was like, I can't take care of them. Wow. And you had to really take care of them. And the listener took them. Why?
Starting point is 00:10:27 I don't really picture you having a hairless rat. Bobby, what if we got sisters, French bulldog sisters? from a rescue possibly. If there's two. Never really. Do you see them? No, just how cute would they be
Starting point is 00:10:41 if they matched and we could like, you know. I don't want a girl dog. Why? No, you need a girl dog. Please. No. I need like a dude.
Starting point is 00:10:48 No. You need a real girl and then a dude dog. I'm not getting a girl dog. No, I don't want to see it's balls. What? I don't like boy parts on dogs. You can get rid of those. You know when I had to.
Starting point is 00:10:59 He won't. Bobby Walt. Well, I struggle with Dusty and neutering him. He won't. That's why. Dusty was never neutered? He was later on life. So I had to do it when he was basically like 30.
Starting point is 00:11:09 That's mean. I know. That's mean. But he had cancer the first time. Maybe when you already get the rescue dog, it'll be neutered. I'm assuming it will be. Good. Because I just knew Bobby won't do that.
Starting point is 00:11:20 And then I struggle. I was like, I wouldn't do that to Eddie. Thank you. I appreciate that. Are you chopped? Excuse me? Are you? No, I am not neutered.
Starting point is 00:11:29 No, his wife got her tube side. She did. Because she had a C-section. So it was like a two-for-one deal. you always do the thing. Oh yeah, because, because, because. The two-for-one deal. I had a friend that went in to get his vasectomy,
Starting point is 00:11:41 and they can only get one of his balls, and the other one they had to let still out. So what's the point of that? Well, he got to go back. Oh, wow. And so he had to deal with not being able to walk around for a bit, and he wasn't even done. It was halfway done.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I had a friend that got an infection after one, and it was like real bad. My friend was just in town last weekend, her and her husband, and they were talking all about it, and he was like, or just, of my life. It's like, worst decision
Starting point is 00:12:08 of my life. I was like, oh man, it sucks to be you. How often does that happen? All right. I'm yawning. It's already time to go.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Okay, cool. Bobby's yawning. It's been a long week. I'm looking at French bulldogs over here, just loving life. I mean, oh, look at this one.
Starting point is 00:12:27 You need that one. I mean, they all are cute. They're all really cute. I know, but I just, that one has a red collar, so it makes me think of you. A red collar with spikes. That's how I made my decision what collar of the dog's going.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Nothing else. Well, how in the world? I mean, no, you're just going to, I mean, if you're rescuing, you just got to probably take what's available. Yeah. Oh, man. All right, we're good. Here's Friday show. Oh, shoulder hurts.
Starting point is 00:12:50 I woke up like three times last night. Just going, what's happening? Why am I waking up? Well, it was storming. Does that wake you up? No. I just wake up randomly. And now I got to go.

Just contacting the client and be like, hey, I know we did this last year. You want to do it again? I was thinking about it anyway, but it's just like, and then I get all in my head about who's going to come, who's not going to come.

Starting point is 00:16:31 You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist. What's that mean to you? Well, I don't know if it's telling you to be relaxed so that you can engage with others. It's saying you can't move forward if you have a closed mind, basically. Oh, okay. Well, sort of what I was saying. You can't engage and shake hands with others if you're all uptight. It's like if you're standing still, you can't grow.
Starting point is 00:16:55 It's that type of thing. Okay. It's like, are you willing to kind of let go of the things that have tethered you for a while so you can continue moving forward? Gotcha. That is an Indian politician. first and only Indian Prime Minister female Indira Gandhi
Starting point is 00:17:11 You cannot shake hands with a clinched fist Read that this morning I don't know if I'm going to keep this segment Where I read the quotes We tried this week Hey, I like it I just should just talk about it
Starting point is 00:17:20 Instead of going over And let people try to figure it out We should make it a riddle Okay Well I like it when you explain what it is though Sometimes I don't get it Yeah you can just say I know I know
Starting point is 00:17:30 We're working progress You know leave us alone Okay Eddie Okay Come on here Let's see, we're good. Let's go over to Trisha. Trisha and Maryland, how are you?
Starting point is 00:17:39 Hey, Bobby, how are you? I'm pretty good. What's going on with you? I just want to let you guys know that I've listened to them for a while. I was kind of like a slow listener at first, but kind of become addicted to the show. You and you and Eddie and Lunchbox and Amy, kind of like, I don't know, you're like extended family. We're like a, uh, and cry with you guys. We're like a slow-moving virus.
Starting point is 00:17:58 We've kind of taken you over or maybe a fungus, maybe. But a good fungus, a good fungus. So what is it about the show that you were kind of like, I don't know at first, but now you're into. Okay, to be honest, I really loved my DJ before. So when you guys came on, I was like, dang it, you know, what's the show really seriously? So me and my girls, we were kind of mad at first, but then, I don't know, we listened and it was pretty cool. It's always hard to switch regardless of how good or bad another show is. Like when you spend time with somebody every morning or every afternoon or if it's a TV show, you know, like Good Morning America.
Starting point is 00:18:32 and they switch out anchor. It's always weird. It was. It was really hard. Yeah. Listen, I get that. I don't know. What station do you listen to us on?
Starting point is 00:18:40 98.7, WMZQ. We've been on there for like four years. Yeah, and I've listened since you started. It's just, you know, every time I... It's taking that long, Tricia. It's taking you four years to be a friend of ours. They're still there. They're still there.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Holy cow. Amy went through the adoption. You know, I listened for a long time when Amy was trying to get the kids and, you know, we're pulling for Amy and lunchback. He's always crazy. She's like, you know, I remember when you're 18 years old, Bobby your birthday. You know, I've been listening ever since. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Well, listen, I'm happy to have you. I'm very happy to have you guys. Hey, and I've got a dog recommendation for me. All right, go ahead, let a rip. A cockapoo. They don't shed. They're small, they're cuddly. Here's why I can't have a cockapoo.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Just like all those syllables. Yeah, I'd have to rename it to the other house. Okay, great. That's like two words aren't even like saying, both of them. I got it. You know what I mean? I haven't thought about that. Yeah, I'm not going to say that all the things.
Starting point is 00:19:32 on. What's your dog? Cockapoo? Nope. Not going to be happening. Hey, Tricia, thank you. Really, I hope you have a wonderful morning. Thank you very much for sharing your story. And we'll try to be a better show. It takes four years to be our friend. We've got to do better, you know? No, no. It's hard to get through to you. So, no. I've been a fan for quite a long time. No, I promise you. Okay. I've been hearing that from the ladies for a long time.
Starting point is 00:19:52 That's hard to get through to me. Right, Amy? True. There you go. All right. I've got some stuff to improve on. The show, obviously. You guys let me know if you want me to continue with the quote of the day. I can streamline that a bit. I think that we should. We'll give it one more week? I'm down with that.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Because I think it'd be good if I just kind of get it, you know? Here's the Bobby Bones Show podcast, highlight segment of the day. So at the Nashville Sound's minor league baseball game, last night, our producer Eddie sang the national anthem. Now, his goal was never to sing the national anthem. Correct. But we had you do it on the air one day. Yeah. We were surprised at how fantastic you did.
Starting point is 00:20:29 And then you sent off a tape, and they said yes. And last night, we did it. It happened. We were all there. It was there. It was fantastic. But I'll play it for you. Eddie really hasn't heard this version of it.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Nope. So let's hear it back. How'd you feel? Good. I mean, really, I'd never sing the National Anthem. And one of the things I noticed when I was singing it just like popped in my head was I've never not faced the crowd when I'm singing in front of people. And I'm just staring at the flag. And that was like a real ease feeling.
Starting point is 00:22:31 Like, a feeling that's of calm, like, where, like, I'm just singing to the flag right now. There's no one really paying attention. I really enjoyed when you started to fill yourself a little bit. Yeah, did you notice that part? You got in your groove. I think I have it here. I try to remember the time. And you got in your groove, you know, you're tracking it.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Sometimes you jump a little head. Then you found your pocket, right? Yeah. Right there's when he first started to feel it. Where you did a little run. Where you're like, to the night. And I was like, oh, he's in it now. Like, he didn't come up.
Starting point is 00:23:01 play he's singing now here it again that's your first run there's your first run right there I like that first run that's what I knew he had it that he was closing the job with that one he was like through the night he like changed like a little bit like this is just like twinkle toe on the key a little bit and then I wish I can find the spot where you just jumped where you did change it felt like you changed keys completely hold here we go now I'm a little flag there I felt like you weren't committed I felt like you were to hit it if you just committed. I was not going to do that.
Starting point is 00:23:37 And I felt it. I was like, I'm here. Let's just do it. I felt like you didn't commit enough right there. I felt like you could have been a little more American. Just let it rip. Bobby's mentor's side is coming to right now. I appreciate the criticism. It's not criticism. I loved it. I loved your performance. You go, you hit it good here too.
Starting point is 00:23:57 You come up and you go. Hey, ha, ha, yeah. Here we go. There you go. There's good. You're really dissecting this. That's good. I love it. Dude, I was sitting that so proud of you as you're singing it. I'm watching you.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I had to, like, not jump up and down as I was standing there. I'm proud of it for not chasing that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on. Come on. I tell you something, when you hit that banner yet wave and you're like, that's it. Now it's just take it home. Oh, it's the best feeling.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Like, I made it this far. I can't mess this part up. I'm so happy for you. I was so, I was like a. proud cousin brother. And then Bones comes out of nowhere and gives me a big hug. I was so proud of it. I was like,

Starting point is 00:25:32 there was nothing that was off about it. To me, I thought it was great, because I know how, like, the delay, how, like, it's so bizarre to hear yourself later, and I don't know. I thought you did really good. And watching your wife was so proud and your kids were watching you.

Oh, yes, our producer, Raimundo, always sitting in the glass room. He's been gathering the news. Raymond, know what you got? Facebook said millions of Instagram passwords have been exposed.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Your account info was stored in plain sight and employees could have seen it. In Connecticut, a bobcat attacked a golfer while he was playing around a golf. The bobcat has been captured and the man is hospitalized. In other news, multiple tornadoes hit Mississippi. Luckily, no injuries have been reported in minor damage. If you're listening to us live, you're up early. And so, I don't know. I just imagine most people are like me and they wake up like this every day.
Starting point is 00:30:12 I know all aren't. But man, when I wake up early, which is every weekday, I'm just like, ugh. And so what I have here is a story, these are the most common myths about sleep. Things that we think that are true that really aren't true. Number one, five hours of sleep in night is fine. It's not true. Like, you can't even talk yourself into that, they say. It's the most dangerous myth about sleep because study after study shows that regularly getting less than five hours increases your risk of heart disease and early death.
Starting point is 00:30:44 Oh, wow. Like, sleep is so much. And I'm a hypocrite because a lot of times I don't sleep enough. But I know I just don't do it Right, you want to sleep Absolutely You're not like
Starting point is 00:30:54 I'm gonna stay up Glad you guys asked You just have Stuff going on Number two It's great to be able to fall asleep anywhere Anytime people to do that Man, just so jealous of them
Starting point is 00:31:05 And I think lunchbox is able to fall asleep anywhere Everyone's jealous people who can fall asleep On a plane before you take off But with most people it's a sign You're not well rested in general Meaning your quality of sleep is not good So if you're able to fall asleep quickly
Starting point is 00:31:17 That's not normal Oh. That's so odd because lunchbox is like the most well-rested person we know. I sleep all time. He sleeps at night. He takes naps. He falls asleep anywhere. Myth number three, your brain and body can adapt to less sleep.
Starting point is 00:31:31 That's also not true. So if you're getting, you know, anything less than five and a half, six hours, your mind and body are suffering. You also can't catch up on sleep. That's a myth. Like, once you miss it, you just miss it. There's no catching up on it. Okay. Snoring is annoying but harmless, which is not true.
Starting point is 00:31:46 That's a myth. Loud snoring is most. sometimes a sign of sleep apnea. You can also hear of pauses and breathing. And then finally, drinking alcohol helps you sleep better. Do you guys think that? Yes. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Oh, yeah. I mean, you're not as rusted, but you crash. That's exactly it. Oh. It can help you fall asleep, but you do not get deep sleep when you've been drinking. So you'll most likely wake up feeling tired if you drink and it makes you fall asleep. Shoot. Why, what's your thoughts on that?
Starting point is 00:32:13 Well, I don't always, I like to have a glass of wine before bed. Because it sounds really bad. It sounds like I'm like, dang it. I like to drink every night. So it's not always, but I like to unwind with a glass of wine before bed and I feel like it does help me sleep. But if it's affecting my REM cycle, then it's probably not worth it. The new thing on social media is the Shell on Challenge. Have you heard of this?
Starting point is 00:32:39 No. It's where you video yourself eating something with the quote, shell on. So that can mean anything. You mean a peanut, shell and all? which is where it started. But it also includes people eating bananas with the peel on, oranges with the peel on. Or, and they get a little more dynamic.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Sandwiches with plastic wrap, and you eat the whole thing. Oh, no. Or one of my favorites. This is the dumbest thing. Candy bars with the wrapper. They just don't just buy a Snickers bar and just eat the whole thing. That's not good. Like, on the good side, we haven't seen anybody die from this yet.
Starting point is 00:33:16 Okay, well, then somebody should do it. Do you know what we should do? Like you, Amy? This is what we should do. We should put everybody's name in a bucket. Oh, gosh. Draw it. And then, like, spin the wheel of food and whatever it lands on,
Starting point is 00:33:30 that person has to eat that thing a shell on. I thought it looks like to. You guys want to. My favorite is Amy suggesting we do it in. Right, right. Not me. Isn't that funny? The shell on.
Starting point is 00:33:42 I also saw this food fight at school where the students are now facing, like, for real charges because the food fight turned into a riot. Oh, no. Love it. No, this is like a real thing. Ten students have been charged because it turned into a riot. There were concussions because the food turned into fist fights. Police say the fight was planned and shared on social media.
Starting point is 00:34:04 15 to 17. Riding in the first degree, reckless endangerment, assault on a police officer. Hundreds of students ran out of the school, throwing eggs. It was an organized food fight, but then it got out of control. I'd never been a part of a real food fight. You guys ever know? Like someone would throw food where it's like on the movies. Food fight.
Starting point is 00:34:22 No, never anything like that. We should start one. Lunchbox was in a bar fight once. First time ever, right? The first time I ever went out, I turned 18, and we go to Bob Populers on 6th Street in Austin. I've never seen a fight like this. It was in the pool hall room upstairs. First time ever in a bar.
Starting point is 00:34:37 First time ever. 18, because it was an 18-and-up place. And people were breaking pool cues over each other, knocking over pool tables. people were coming from other rooms and jumping into the fight, and I told myself, if this is what it's like to go out, I am going out every single night. This is amazing. Isn't that funny?
Starting point is 00:34:56 Like the first time you go out? Yeah. And that's what you see? I've never seen a crazy fight like that. Yeah, me either. Have you seen one since? Oh, I've seen a lot of crazy. No, but like a big one like that.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Not that big. Yeah. No. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. A mom and her two-year-old son. enjoying a walk in San Francisco in the neighborhood, holding hands, walking down the sidewalk
Starting point is 00:35:21 when some guy comes up and snatches the two-year-old, takes off running. Strangers run and tackle the dude and stop the kidnapping. That's crazy that would actually happen. You hear about it, but you never hear about really people running, grabbing kids. That's crazy. Yeah. Snatched the two-year-old, got about half a block before strangers were able to tackle him to the ground. Just run up and grab a kid?
Starting point is 00:35:46 I would have probably taken some extra shots, too. Oh, they got to give them a couple extra knees and the ribs. Right? Yeah. I'm sure the mom is yelling. Screaming. Like, that's my kid. Wow.
Starting point is 00:35:57 Well, good on those strangers for jumping in. Yeah, so the guy was arrested. Wow, there you have it. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobby Bones Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes us from Cairo, New York.
Starting point is 00:36:11 A 34-year-old woman was driving along when all of a sudden a little spider crawls up on the steering wheel. Instead of calmly pulling over or swatting the spider away, she screams, takes her hands off the wheel. I can't hate her for this, though. I know she wrecks probably, right? Loses control of the car, into a tree. Yeah, I mean, it sounds dumb,
Starting point is 00:36:33 but just think if there's just like a spider or snake crawling on you. You don't think. You're just reacting, and you go, ah, I probably wouldn't. I would think I would be more composed. But still, whatever. So she injured her leg, totaled the car, and police posted a picture of the car on Facebook and said,
Starting point is 00:36:50 listen, we understand you're scared of creatures, but please try to pull over to a safe place and be mature about it. I don't think it's a maturity thing. Yeah, I don't think it's mature. I kind of feel bad for her. Luckily, she didn't hit anybody else. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Lunchbox, you're so scared of snakes. A snake is totally a little spider. But a little bit of snake. What about a little bit of snakes? Snakes don't really scare. You can't crush a snake like that. But let's say this. snake is in your car and you're driving.
Starting point is 00:37:17 Are you going to be mature? Yes. But let's say it's at your feet, right? I'm stomping on it. But that's not what you want to do. You just pull over calmly. Okay. Would you do that or would you probably just stomp until you crushed that tree?
Starting point is 00:37:28 No, he'd hate scream. Yeah. You guys don't know me. I'd be all right. Get out of my car and I grew up. No, I'd probably crash into a tree. My point is, yeah, it's dumb. But you don't take your hands off the wheel.
Starting point is 00:37:39 You don't think you do until you just don't know yourself until you come into a bit of pressure. Anyway, there you go. There's your bonehead today. Yeah, so she's looking for a new car. I'm Lunchbox at your, and no warrant on the spot if the spider survived the crash. I'm going to bet it did. Probably. Yeah, they usually do.
Starting point is 00:37:52 I bet after the crash spider, right under the woods. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

And so they just hang out as soon as my kid gets home from school. school, they just start hanging out until the moment they fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Are you spending any one-on-one time? Yes, because my kids go to school, like I said, I bought the baseball glove for this other kid, our foster kid, and I throw catch with them. We catch the ball, we go in the backyard, and we play baseball. And the other day, we were just, like, throwing the ball back and forth, and he looks at me, he goes, Eddie, can I tell you something? I'm like, yeah, what's up, bu? He goes, I love you.
Starting point is 00:43:11 And I go, well, I love you, too. And it was just a moment that I did not expect was coming at all. And, man, I got, got me. Like, I couldn't believe it.

And this is a moment, man. It really was.
Starting point is 00:43:37 Like, I, I'm finally understanding what fostering and adoption and all of this is all about. Slowly just, like I said, when we first started doing this, I didn't really know if it was for us, was for me, never thought I would do something like this. And then just every day something like this happens and something else. And I'm thinking, wow, like, all right, I get it. This is why we do what we do. So I always felt like, and you didn't lead me to feel this way, that you would eventually be like, hey, I just want to adopt these kids if it doesn't work out with their parents. Yeah, I'm still like, no, we're following the path that we chose. I think my wife said the other day She said You're like, I'm with you I'm with you, we're still on the path
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah, yeah for sure But people do change sometimes You know, I know Maybe we'll change when that time gets there But right now I'm trying to hold steady on our path That's a great story though Look at you That's super special

But there was some real concerns. Like, I had to call my mom over to, like, check, like, her, make sure her eyes were okay. But my kids, I have, they're bigger, so I didn't really have to carry them. But when my niece is a baby and I was babysitting.

Starting point is 01:02:52 We've never met before. Look at this. How you doing, Bobby? Good. We're on the air right now. Look at you guys. How you doing? What do your friends call you?
Starting point is 01:02:59 They call you John, John Michael. John Boy. John Boy? John Boy. Yeah. Boy, since I, you know, we were kids sleeping in the same room together and, you know, a little two- or three-room house, you know, in Kentucky there. And then, of course, we always watch the Walton's growing up.
Starting point is 01:03:16 I know the Walton's. Good night, John Boy. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. We watched that. We only had three stations, so that was one of the popular ones back in the 70s. And all my golfing buddies calls me J.M. They call my J.M.
Starting point is 01:03:29 What would you like me to call you? Huh? Mr. Awesome. Can I call you Mr. Awesome? Well, sure, man. Yeah. I'm going to complain about that one, then. John Michael Montgomery's here.
Starting point is 01:03:37 It's really cool to meet you, man. Thank you. I appreciate that. You too. Been a fan for a long time. Well, I appreciate that. It's hard to believe. It's been 27 years on the road, you know.
Starting point is 01:03:48 I mean, coming out of the Honky Tonkson Nightclubs back in Kentucky, it's, you know, I guess as Waylon Jennings, I did a song of Waylon Jennings here, you're back in the 90s. And, of course, you know, that famous thing he said, if I've known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. But it's been a wonderful trip, I'd tell you. So I appreciate you having me on your show, by the way.
Starting point is 01:04:15 Yeah, of course. Well, I'm going to play a couple things here. I don't know if you want to listen on the headphones real quick for one second. Yeah. I know you got a cowboy hat on, so it's kind of tough, but if you put it up next to your ear, I got a lot of questions for you here. Why don't we start with this one? Oh, I like that.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Oh, that's how it's done. Okay, so I'm going to play this for you because this is you. Okay. I swear. Right? Yeah. That's you. You know you.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Then this is not you. And I swear. It's all for one. Now, the truth of this is you had the song first, right? Yeah, it's a really funny story because Frank Myers and I was writing after I love the way he let me win number one. And, you know, I was celebrating that. So he pitched me that song on a cassette tape up in Kentucky. I cut it.
Starting point is 01:05:03 put it out and went to, you know, ended up being, you know, bigger than I love the way he loved me and all that stuff. So I get called into the Atlantic Records, the head of Atlantic Records, Rick Blackburn, you know, and he says, hey, they want to know, maybe you want to go pop with that song, you know. If you wanted to go pop first. And I was like, I said, no, I said, I'm good, you know. And so he said, well, there's another group I want to put it out of Atlantic Records in New York once to put it out. and I said, hey, that sounds good to me. And about a month later, they come out with it. And what was funny, and I saw them at the next few months later,
Starting point is 01:05:42 I saw them at Atlantic Records Party here in Nashville, the Offer 1 guys, and we got to talking about our next record, and I guess we both spit out the song, I Can Love You Like That. Yeah. And they looked at me and they went, you're cutting that too? I said, yeah, I said, you're good in that too. So Steve Diamond was a co-writer on that. And, you know, it worked out perfect.
Starting point is 01:06:02 I mean... That's crazy that you had a song that they cut just by itself. The whole story is weird and cool. But then it happens again. Here you go. This is you. Now, on this one here, who cut it first?
Starting point is 01:06:17 Well, we actually did both of us the same time on that one. It was very cleverly played out by the publishing companies to pitch it to us both. And we both had albums we were working on coming out on Atlantic. And so we literally put it out on radio. at the same time. I mean, and they both went up the charts at the same time. It was very cool to watch, actually. You know, both of those songs, I really felt like deserve to be able to be heard, you know,
Starting point is 01:06:43 in the R&B pop format, too, because they were, you know, obviously perfect for it. And I just didn't really, I wanted to be a country artist and I didn't really want to cross over. And, you know, I wanted to draw the line in the sand and just stay there. And I think it was better that they did those songs. So did you ever get up in all you guys? thing together, like all five one? Did you ever do a thing where you are? Was that ever that all for one? No, I think we did do a little video of the, I swear, we did a little, I sang a little part on it, you know, and everything like that. It's like the 20th anniversary or something here
Starting point is 01:07:19 maybe two or three years ago, and it was kind of cool little video. I think you might be able to find it on YouTube or something like that. Look at this. John Michael Montgomery is here. Man, hey, how you doing, boys? I'm great, man. A couple of fellas here. What's your name, man? I'm Caleb. Hey, Caleb, good to see.
Starting point is 01:07:33 What's your name? I'm Rusty. Good to see. You guys want to play a song for us? You mind? Well, yeah, we'll do one. We got guitars here. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:39 What are we going to play it, John, or J.M. or Mr. Awesome? You know, it's funny. This song here has become my most popular song. Used to be, I swear, but now a whole new generation of fans have been coming to see me. And I think because of karaoke and stuff like that, this is the song that I want to hear. It's called Sold the Grunty County Auction. You ought to sing it with me, by. I'm not going to because my listeners get mad whenever I ruin a song.
Starting point is 01:08:07 But I will say this. So if I throw a verse or a chorus at you, you ain't going to take it on? Amy would love, she's been waiting her whole life to do that. I actually sing. Her and Keith Urban sang this together. Well, you want to sing one of the, you want to sing the chorus, one of the courses in? Sure. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:22 I mean, I can't have you all right. I'm trying to play it cool because, I mean. Which one you want to do? You want us to do the long address? I just go and I feel it. I just know which one I can really know without any. I just got a feel. Just go with your heart. I'll go with my heart.
Starting point is 01:08:38 I'll do what I did with Keith, whichever verse that is. Okay, all right. Oh, here we go. Hang on, I got a mic in my left. John Michael Montgomery has a mic in his lap. Door the studio down. Drop the mic. All right.
Starting point is 01:08:48 There we are. Look at this guy. Got all the guitars. About to hear sold parentheses. I like the parentheses. I always see that. at the Grundy County Auction Incident. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Let's jump with John Michael Montgomery here at the show. Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore, but you can go to bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up
Starting point is 01:09:18 and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to the show and sorry about all the legal stuff. Listen, that's... Great job. That's a fast song, and even Amy was going a little fast.
Starting point is 01:09:35 They were like, oh, boy, how's the tempo? Oh, is you not going to stop? Hey, I tell you, it's funny. I mean, I saw Keith Urban do this song, and he, I mean, you're talking about somebody who flies through it now. He flies through it, and it's fun to see. I think Dirk Spentley does it too. Everybody does it now.
Starting point is 01:09:52 You know, it's a fun song to see. I'm glad to see other artists doing it, too, because I look forward to singing that song probably more at the end of the show than any of them. But the crowd. Because the crowd could probably sing the whole thing for you. Huh? I can probably sing the whole thing for you. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. It's fun to watch, you know, all of them, you know, just sing along with.
Starting point is 01:10:11 As a matter of fact, sometimes they sing it so loud, and I can't even hear myself singing, but it's good stuff, you know. I'm going to this. John Michael Montgomery's here. I'm going to play some clips to some songs. I'll put on the microphone a little closer to there, John, if you don't mind. Okay, let's start with this one right here. Come on. We're going through my childhood here, John. What are you thinking about when you hear that one, right? I think about how lucky I was to be able to get a record deal.
Starting point is 01:10:40 I've been playing nightclubs and bars five nights a week for several years in the 80s. And Atlantic Records popped into Lexington, Kentucky, and they came by and they said, yeah, we were down the road here at this other place. And this waitress came up and said, the best singer in town is up to this other place is named John Michael Montgomery. And they said, we agree with her and we'd like to give you a record deal. And I was like, really? And, of course, I was thinking, you know, I'll never see these guys ever again. They were going to leave town. And two weeks later, they came back up.
Starting point is 01:11:11 And then Doug Johnson, who was the producer on that album, Likes the Dance, brought that song to me along with. I love the way to love me and beer and gone. Man, you got that down. That's pretty good. Man, and then we talked to, I swear. I bet this one right here. You got so many fast songs.
Starting point is 01:11:35 You got so many fast songs. It's like, I don't know how you keep all your breath. Well, I tell you, I love doing, when you play nightclubs a lot, you've got to keep the crowd entertained. And, you know, you want them to dance once in a while. You want them to slow dance, fast dance. You want them to cry, laugh and all that. So a lot of my albums, I love the tongue twister stuff, you know.
Starting point is 01:11:55 And Be My Baby Tonight was my first attempt at that. And as a matter of fact, Atlantic Records, a lot of people, they didn't like that song. They thought it was too hokey. And I said, oh, no, people, you know, they're going to love it. this. And so when I came around and did so, they didn't argue with me at all. They got it. They got it. You know, but, you know, I was so blessed to be able to have so many wonderful songwriters pitch me, you know, some great songs. And, you know, I think probably, I wrote some myself.
Starting point is 01:12:22 You know, I missed you a little was probably one that my saddest ones I wrote because my father had passed away in 94 and prostate cancer. And he's my best friend, my mentor, you know, so I wrote that about him. But, you know, I was just, I couldn't believe the things that were happening to me. I, you know, was a pinch yourself every year, you know, and I just, the 90s were obviously the best times of my life, no doubt about it, other than my kids growing up, obviously, you know, which I had two 20-something-year-olds now, you know, that's in the music business. So they're doing, they're doing great. So I'm, I have no complaints. I'm glad to be able to still be out here doing it. If you got love.
Starting point is 01:13:05 Come on. That's funny. Yeah, that's one of my favorites, believe it or not, that I enjoy singing. I tell people, you know, I had the positive love songs, you know, the uptempo ones, you know. And I enjoy singing those just as much as I do the, you know, the ballads like I swear and everything, too. And all these numbers, I got a whole list of number ones. Also I got a whole list of dates so you can go watch John Michael Montgomery. April 26th in Greenville, Texas, May 27th in Orham, Utah, Biloxia on June 1st.
Starting point is 01:13:38 A lot of our cities, June 15th, it's a grizzly Rose in Denver, Colorado. You ever played there to the Grizzly Rose? Oh, yeah. As a matter of fact, the Grizzly Rose has probably, I've been playing the Grizzly Rose for 20-something years. We always go back there, and that's one of my first stop-off. As a matter of fact, I think when you're a new artist, the Grizzly Rose needs to be on your list to play because it is truly one-of-a-kind, you know, and of course, and I love the Rocky Mountains. You know, I love to go out to the Rocky Mountains, so that gives me a chance to go out there and enjoy that also.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Sold over 16 million albums, like a year. I can't even count that high. Like I said, I mean, it's still hard to believe that all that happened to me, you know, because I was just a guy I loved to pick and sing. My mom and dad played music. My dad was a guitar player singer, and my mom played drums in his band and sang. And my brother Eddie, you know, Montgomery Gentry, you know, they used to get us up every weekend when we was five, six years old, and we'd sing, you know, Elvis and stuff and everything. And we just loved the music and we love to sing it.
Starting point is 01:14:46 And I had no idea that all this would happen to me one day. And, you know, like I said, sometimes everything happens for a reason, I guess. Well, I got to say, too, I'm excited that you're here. I know you had vocal surgery. Yeah. When did you start seeing again? Like April, this month? Yeah, yeah, literally I had three months off.
Starting point is 01:15:04 I had a polyp removed. Pretty scary, huh? Yeah, because you don't know how, you know, when you come back, it's going to be as strong. So, you know, I'm being a little gentle with it right now because I'm one of them kind of guys back in the 90s when I got my first hit. You know, I was, I didn't say no to anything. It's like, tell me where it's the way to go, you know, and I went, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:27 And I felt like I was invincible. Invincible. I felt like my vocal cords were invincible. You know, but I also realized, you know, going out on the road is different than playing five nights a week in a bar. When you go out on the road, and I try to tell this to a new artist all the time. And, you know, it's like you have to, I didn't know how to take care of my voice. So I went out there and I did a thousand interviews and, you know, I took the honky tonk show out on the road with me. I mean, you know, we had a fifth of whiskey in the back of the bus.
Starting point is 01:16:01 I mean, you know, me and my brother, I mean, we all were honky tonkers. And when you get out on the road, and it's a lot harder on you physically. And so, you know, I ended up, you know, paying for that a couple of times. You know, this ain't my first vocal surgery, you know. But, you know, you learn to, you know, when you go out on the road that you have to, you have limitations. You got to rest and learn how to take care of. your voice and all that stuff. And it's been a learning curve for me.
Starting point is 01:16:28 So, you know, had my ups and downs. And there was a time when I walked on stage, I was like, is it going to work tonight or not? Oh, really? You know, I mean, and sometimes it did. And then sometimes it didn't, you know, and you're like, you know, you just, you're at a, you're, it's like the worst for a singer, it's the worst time of your life to go on stage, not knowing if your vocal cords are going to work or not, you know. I mean, and especially when you have all these songs that you love to sing and you're like, I can't do them, you know, so. But, you know, you just kind of keep battling on.
Starting point is 01:17:01 And, you know, I wish I had vocal cords of steel like Merrill Haggard and Willie Nelson. I mean, them guys, man, I tell you, why, you're talking about people that amazed me because, you know, I got to know Merrill Haggard back in the 90s and, you know, and he's a great guy. telling you he had vocal chords. I mean, that guy was just unbelievable singer, you know, and he just, you know, doing 100 shows a year. Willie Nelson's still doing it. Still, yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:31 I mean, man, you know, those guys are, to me, incredible. Those are the guys I grew up watching and, you know, and everything.

Starting point is 01:18:11 sit around you know and i mean i love that song still love it today you know and i i used to imitate willie you know you know that's how i do i like this yeah you know me and eddie We'd take turns, and Eddie and I, we would do like, he could do Willie better than I, so then we and him started doing Willie and Whalen. A long time forgotten, you know, I'd do that part and everything, and we just had a big old time. We still, when we get together once in a while, we'll do the, you know, Willie Whalen stuff. Every people love it, you know. Eddie and I will do Eddie and Julio, because Eddie's Mexican. So I do Willie.
Starting point is 01:18:42 I do Willie, and he does Julio. So let me mention this real quick. I think it would be a good plug for Walker. Like, say something about Walker for a second. Walker is, he's been down here for about a year writing music and everything. The son. Yeah, my son, Walker, Walker Montgomery. And he wrote a song, this beautiful love song called I heard of here first that's
Starting point is 01:19:04 being played on CMT right now. And he loves the business. You know, I mean, I can see it in his eyes. He was, you know, like me and Eddie was. I mean, his love for the music and desire for it is incredible. So he comes down here. He lives down here now, really. And absolutely is a really good songwriter, good singer.
Starting point is 01:19:26 And so he's been wearing it out down here and, you know, 20 years old. I mean, you know, and so the love that he has for it, I see in his eyes, I hope it works out for him.

You know, I'm like, you know, country music don't, singers, they don't retire. They just kind of ride off in the sunset, you know, and I said, I'm just going to keep on keeping on to. I can't keep on anymore, but getting on stage is still the drive of getting on stage and seeing the fans out there waiting to hear me sing my songs is always been the number one satisfaction, you know, since I played the club since I was a kid.
Starting point is 01:20:19 And as long as they keep coming and seeing me, I'm going to keep on doing it. Love it. Thanks for coming by. Appreciate it. Hopefully we'll see you again soon.

Starting point is 01:25:03 on favorite, and his odds were probably a little better than they should have been just because he's Tiger Woods. But he ends up winning. And so, yeah, he won the bet. So now, oh, no. And so they'll be having a baby tiger. The husband, Trey, has always loved the name Tiger. He's been trying to convince his wife. And so
Starting point is 01:25:20 baby's doing September, and they got their name picked out. And Julian is a middle name. Tiger, Julian. That's a last name, huh? That is awesome. That's cute. I mean, I like the name Tiger, too. The problem with that is it's like being named Elvis.

Starting point is 01:26:11 Whoa. Did you guys see this one? In New Orleans, they found a body in their Airbnb. At first, they thought it was just another renter, but they soon realized, uh-oh, and they called 911, but they kept partying. What? They even drank a toast to them. No, they did it.
Starting point is 01:26:26 I swear to get what the story says. Well, you can't let it ruin your Bachelorette party. You can. Yeah, you can. Yeah, you can. Yes, you can. You can get out of there. The Bachelorette party got up to a bad start when several of the partygoers had flight problems. Then when they finally arrived at their accommodations and noticed a man that the apartment was attached.
Starting point is 01:26:44 The one they had rented was not moving. It turns out he wasn't alive. He was sitting on a futon. My gosh. But they partied. No, they didn't. They did. That is really bizarre.
Starting point is 01:26:57 They let it roll there. I watched some more of that Beyonce documentary last night on Netflix when I got home. Have you seen any of it? No, none. It's so long. Morgan number two had. Did you watch the whole thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:06 It's two and a half hours. It was so good, though. It's good. It's weird that I'm like not as into Beyonce as a lot of people are. I'm not into Beyonce so much, but I like concert documentaries. Okay. And that's such a massive production. And I like Beyonce, fine.
Starting point is 01:27:18 Yeah, yeah. But, I mean, I wasn't like yelling queen at my screen. like Morgan number two was. I wasn't like Baychella or whatever it was last year. But it's pretty good. I watched it up. There's a baseball one. It's up.
Starting point is 01:27:33 What's it called? Eddie, I told you the name of it. It's the one you were talking about. Yeah. It's something with the best. Yeah. Right? Bastards or something?
Starting point is 01:27:40 Yeah, yeah. It's good. It's good to if you're a sports fan. That's a good one to watch. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Yeah, I hope there's something good. Everybody complains about potholes popping up in the spring,
Starting point is 01:27:53 but one man may have potholes to thank for saving his life. live. The guy is 59 years old. He was rushing to work. He had no heart history, but all of a sudden as he's going to work, he starts to fill his heart do this. And he goes, uh-oh. So, they're going, and his heart is just flying.
Starting point is 01:28:10 The ambulance comes to picks them up. They hit a pothole. But the pothole like reset his body and reset his heart. It converted the patient's racing heart to normal rhythms. What? Because the whole truck went,
Starting point is 01:28:25 boom! Wow. Wow, that's crazy. Like he was going to work. He said, oh, I need an ambulance. Ambulance picks him up. Ambulance takes off to work. Nails a pothole and it shakes his body so hard.
Starting point is 01:28:38 Then it reset his heart. Most of the time, you know, what they do is it's an electric shock you. It does the same type of thing. Right. Well, it kind of scares you. Now you just go over some potholes maybe. It's probably rare. I mean, I wouldn't chase that.
Starting point is 01:28:51 But I thought that was cool. That was a good story. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Keith Urban song, you'll think of me. We talked about it yesterday. We're talking about lyrics often misheard. Take your cat and leave my sweater. You know, and take your cap and leave my sweater.
Starting point is 01:29:06 And so I text Keith Urban yesterday. I said, hey, what is it really? And he goes, I can read you the text, but he goes, it's cat. He goes, regardless of what the lyrics website say, it's take your cat and leave my sweater. That makes more sense. Does it? Yeah, because, first of all, I was like, what cap does she have? He said cat.
Starting point is 01:29:27 Ultimately, he always hated that stupid cat. Yeah. And then he sent you a video of like... Of him saying not the hat. The cat. He pointed at the cat. So awesome. Yeah. And some of the blogs picked up Keith Urban, sets Bobby Bone straight.
Starting point is 01:29:41 No, I messaged Keith Urban and was like, hey dude, what is this? We want to be right about this. So it's all my answer's story. Mr. Bobby Bones, if you want to see it. But it is cat. The lyric is cat. And take your cat and leave my sweater. We have nothing left to weather.
Starting point is 01:29:55 In fact, I'll feel a whole lot better But you'll think of me Still a jam, huh? Yeah It's so good Are there any more of these lyrics That were messing up that you can clarify for us With these artists?
Starting point is 01:30:10 Well, because the lyric sites are messing it up too So then that's even more confusing Yeah, because on the Casey Musgraves Tie up your bow, take off your coat It's not bow I thought it was boat And everybody laughed at me And I messaged her and she said it's boat
Starting point is 01:30:22 Tie up your boat Oh tie off the bow Take off your coat Tie up the boat. Straight from the source. Boat. Boat. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:39 Apparently it's not even tequila from Dan and Shea. Yeah. Oh yeah. What is it? To kill you? Yeah, it's to kill you. And when I come to kill you, we have no idea. Got to set it straight.
Starting point is 01:30:52 That's Dan and Jay call in. Yeah, man, it's to kill you. He's like, hey, man. Shea calls in and sings it to us. You know, we were kind of feeling morbid one night. Yeah. Well, so anyway, I do. There's all that.
Starting point is 01:31:05 Anything else? You know what I want to do real quick before I go to a song? I do want to do this because I like doing this on Fridays the Flashback Friday where this is from what year is this year 2000?

Starting point is 01:32:26 Here you go. This is from a text from 702. Bobby, the American Dream, you're more like the American douche. Oh, wow, they texted that too. Yeah, see if that person will come on the phone. That'll bring you back down. It's fine.
Starting point is 01:32:36 Oh, listen, I live down. Yeah. You want to get them on the phone? Get them on the phone. Yeah, see if you get them on the phone there. I want to hear them say that out loud because people love typing things like that. People love.
Starting point is 01:32:46 But then you get him on the phone and be like, oh, I'm in American. Oh, autocorrect. Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Yeah, but they have a point, though. That's why I felt weird saying it. But whatever. No. You have to be able to.
Starting point is 01:32:58 Are you going to vomit? What is happening? You have to be able to offer hope to other people and give them encouragement and motivation that it can be done. That's not douchey. 704. 702. 702. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:13 I'm on the dating apps a little bit. I kind of got off. She kind of got back on, kind of got off, kind of got back on. But I read this. This woman Natasha read, she gets on this profile. She's like, man, this guy's got it going on. And so she's, like, swiping through a bunch of his pictures, and he's lounging around. He is an awesome house.
Starting point is 01:33:34 And so it turns out he was just, yeah, he's in an IKEA. All of his pictures are him in an IKEA store in different rooms. Oh, my goodness. Look at his cool kitchen. Everything's so decorated. He's so stylously put together. That's funny, too. Like, I would think once you, if you didn't feel like he was lying, lying, you would think that was funny and swipe him.
Starting point is 01:33:56 Right. Like, he has a place, right? I would hope he has a place. Yeah, I probably live somewhere. It's not IKEA. I do love country music and the history of country music, which is why I've been given the nickname. Country Music's youngest historian. So, I love it.
Starting point is 01:34:13 The Bobby Bones Show. On this day in country music. On this day in 1980, for the first time ever. women held all top five positions on the country chart. Wow, that's crazy. 39 years ago today, all female. Ooh. 80s, is that like Tammy Wynette?
Starting point is 01:34:31 Yeah, it's funny. Yes, and number five, Tammy Wynette, two-story house. A duo with George Jones. Now we're two-story house. Oh, what's brand. At number four, Emmylou Harris, Beneath Stillwater. Wow. At number three, Debbie Boone,

Starting point is 01:35:48 It's like we never said goodbye. Awesome. Awesome. I love it. Additionally, all of the five singles eventually reach number one with the exception of two-story house, which went to number two only. And of all the songs, only Debbie Boone's featured a female co-writer. This has not happened since.

Starting point is 01:39:44 It is good. I don't know if I had enough raising canes, though, to be able to classify that as my best. I guess we'd be on the road or I'd be doing stand-up.
