So they work as long as I press with force like five times. Mostly the return key and letter C. Water. Do you feel water? I didn't do it again. It's been like three weeks since I spilled on it. How many times do you think you've spilled into your computer? Probably four.

But it's come back strong after. It's just, I think it's finally taking its toll or something. But I'm hopeful. If that's the case, I can just maybe, no, I don't need a whole new computer, right? They just fix the keyboard. They're going to have to see how saturated your keyboard is. After four? Over a couple years.

It's not like four in a row. You aren't quite the spiller all the time. If something gets spilled in the room, we all this go, our head goes right to evening's days. My depth perception is off. That's part of it too. I think my water's over here and really it's right there. You're going to have take it in, though. They're going to have to take your keyboard out.

I know. So, but I'm just saying, I'm just giving it. heads up. If you see me, I'm not angry. I'm not mad. I'm just trying to send an email. All right. Hey. Hey, what's the hat? So I'm allergic to my dog. I've always been allergic to dogs, but I went to the allergist, I guess a year and a half or so ago. And he did the thing where they stick holes in your back and they put all these things inside of little holes to see what you're allergic to. I'd never done that until then. And so he's like, oh yeah, you're allergic to dogs. He's like, do you want to take medicine for every single day?

And I said, yeah, because I definitely want to have a dog and have a dog now. And so I take medicine while I ran out of dog allergy medicine like Wednesday of last week and haven't been able to go back and fill it up. So I've been sneezing a little bit because I'll pick my dog up and just keep him up to my face. It's fine. Well, Caitlin and I went out and we were getting ice cream like Friday or Saturday night. But I've been sneezing for like three days. And so I'm in the ice cream place and I always sneeze.

I do even more than vampire sneeze. I take my shirt and put it up over my nose like this. So nothing gets out into the world. I did that before Corona craziness. But I'm in the ice cream shop and I feel the dog sneeze coming on. So I take my shirt and I put it above my nose like I'm doing now if you're watching on camera. And I go, and I sneeze. You would have thought someone shot a gun at that ice cream place.

Everybody hit the ground. Because of Corona, everyone turned their head and they were trying to find the sneezer. And it was me. And I was like, sorry. I shouldn't have sneezed. I wasn't thinking about it. I think you can control the sneeze. I think that's one of the things you can pinch your nose and control.

Look at a light. Just not really the best idea to allow me to sneeze in public. Right. So, yeah, that's all. I just wanted to share that experience. Hey! Hey! What's the hat?

Eddie? The other night I was walking my dog. And I walked my dog at night, so I have a flashlight, just so cars can see me. And I got the flashed on the ground. I'd pass by a little... I've never seen this before, so I don't know. But it was like a baggie and it looked like the stuff from Breaking Bad. Like...

Meth. Yeah. The blue stuff. And I got closer. I examined it. I took a picture of it. I mean, I don't know. Again, I don't know what this looks like, but I think I found whatever that stuff is in my neighborhood.

I think you might have a dealer. Amy saw the picture and was telling me off the air that she thinks it's meth too. Did you pick it up? No, I didn't touch. Are you kidding? I didn't touch it. A little on your tongue? People were saying, yeah, take a little taste of it.

That's what they do in TV shows. It's out of your mind. And what did you do? Oh, I just posted on Instagram just to get people's opinions. But did you call the cops? No. But what if, like, a kid walks up and finds it? Yeah, and thinks it's candy.

Well, those are all good concerns. But my concern was just like, call the cops. What if he thinks it's mine? Then I'm in trouble. Would you call the cops for a random bag of drugs on the ground? Don't even want to question it, bones. He doesn't even want to be associated. So he just puts it on Instagram.

Hey, what's the hat? But what if it's yours when you put it on Instagram, like hiding a plane's light? That's your way. They got me, boys. I mean, that could be your way of letting people know you have a bag available. Oh, wow, wow, wow. That's true, too. Yeah, it's like, you all hack like.

Maybe watches way too many drug shows. He does. Do you ever say, hey, you're in trouble, kids. No screen time for you. Yes. Okay. You shouldn't, and here's why. Bear with me.

I mean, yeah, tell me more. Parents who reward their children with more screen time. or punish them with less screen time are likely making their youngsters even more screen obsessed. Listen to this analogy. Eddie, do you do this with your kids? Of course.

Okay. They say you should never make food a reward or punishment either. I agree with that. They say it's in the same vein. When you give food as a reward, it makes children like the carrot less and the cake more. Same thing with screen time. Kids become obsessed and almost addicted to their iPads.

They basically become a drug to these kids in the same way that sugar and food does, bad food, does with screen time. Experts agree when it comes to punishment, it's best to just use whatever the old-fashioned way is. If it's a timeout or spanking, they're not saying spanking, they're just saying whatever your old-fashioned way is. And never reward your kids with more computer time or screen time because you're making it like a treat and they want it more. I had to learn this with candy because I was so anti. I just thought I want my kids to eat perfectly. I was really frustrated with a lot of candy in the house and everywhere we went.

People were giving them candy. And I kind of made it like this thing we weren't going to have. And I realized I was making them want it more. And so now if they ask for it, my answer is not no. It's like, well, how about, yeah, we throw in, like, instead of, this is just an example, but instead of like a bag of M&Ms or whatever, I count out like five M&Ms and I throw it on their plate. And I'm like, now it's part of your meal. And now it's part of it.

And it's less of a big deal. They don't even really bring it up as a thing. So did you ever feel like screen time was in the same? Well, now I had not thought of it that way. But I see it now. But I see it now because I have recognized how I've had to shift how I talk about food because I want them to have a healthy relationship with food and candy. And now in that same vein, I want them to have a healthy relationship with screen time.

So I need to make sure I'm going to pay attention to that. Eddie? Oh, yeah. Now that you say it, it makes sense because like the other day I took the iPad away from my son and I hit it. And he was like an attic. He found it. Oh, nice. It was like he was looking for what he had been craving.

And he found it and I was like, how did you even find that? He's like, sorry, I just really wanted to use it. So yeah, this does make sense. Sometimes I punish myself with no screen time. I'm like, you get less screen today. You've been a bad boy. And how do you follow your own rules?

What do you mean? I follow my own rules wonderfully. Even when I ride my Peloton, like, I won't get water. I can't unless I've hit certain, like, certain splits on times and certain paces. And if I don't, I don't drink. I don't get water. When you talk sometimes, I'm like, what is it like to be you? I don't understand that either.

Like that to me. I'm like no cookies this week and then I'm like, do whatever I want. And when I do hit my goal, if I'm like, I don't need water, I still make myself drink it. Because I'm like, if you tell yourself something, you have to live up to it.

So with myself, with people, if I say something, I do it. Wow. And I build that in myself before I can build that out with others. So if I don't deserve it, I don't get it. If I do deserve it, I get it. Bobby, can I just say that you always deserve water?

Yeah. And food, Vince. Like, right? Whatever. Okay. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones show. So, Ramundo, you're going to read us the first line to a country song. Yep.

And we just have to name the song? Yeah. This is pretty easy. Yeah, it sounds simple. Are you ready? Ready. Here we go. Ramundo, give us number one.

Tumble out of bed and stumble into the kitchen. Pour myself a cup of ambition. Okay. We're doing song, artist? What was it? We do, do you want song? Song, just song. I'm in.

Thank you, friends. When you play, you make me nervous. What? When you play, you make me nervous because you're so good at this. Amy. Nine to five. Eddie. Nine to five.

I also have nine to five. Tumble out of bed and he stumbled to the kitchen for myself a cup of ambition and yawning. All right. Raymondo, give us another one. Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. Got it. You do? Mm-hmm.

I like that he's not singing it. Yeah, he's just talking it. I'm in. It goes like this. Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. That is a need you now from Lady Annabella.

Need you now. Nice, everybody. Come on. Ramon, do you have three country music experts here? It's going to be tough to stump us. All right. She put him out like the burning end

of a midnight cigarette. Okay. And then he says that. Now I don't know this one. I can sing it. She put him out like a... I think I know this. You do?

Yeah. Of course. Oh, hold on. She put him out. What happens for those at home are in their car? People pull their headphones out so they're not clogged by this music you're hearing in the background. I'm not even pulling it out now because I literally have no direction. What is it again?

She put him out. She put him out like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. Five seconds. You know it for sure once? Yeah. I think. Yeah. Do you? No.

No. All right. Amy? The thunder rolls. No, that's right. Yeah, it's not. I have whiskey lullaby. You put him out.

Oh, that's it. Of course. Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. Eddie? Oh, before he cheats. Nice. Two more. Ray Mona, give us another one.

I've cussed on a Sunday. I've cheats. I've cheated and I've lied. Amy pulls her ears out. She wants another shot at it. Ramon to do it again for that for Amy. I've cussed on a Sunday, I've cheated, and I've lied. You know it for sure?

Oh, for sure. Can he sing it? No. All three of us have to go sing it to get second round. Yeah, I mean, I know the words and I don't know where it belongs. I've cussed or she cussed. One more time, Ramundo? I've cussed on a Sunday, I've cheated and I've lied.

Ah, ah. Three seconds. I'm in. Eddie, what do you have? Little White Church. Amy on the count of three. Three, two, one. My church.

Oh, I've cussed on a Sunday. I've cussed on a Sunday. I've cheated. Eddie may be last place in a music game. Wow, wow, wow. Dang, I come in and Eddie gets all tilt. I wouldn't have been able to sing it that way. Tell me, you make me nervous.

All right, one more, Raymondo. Maybe I didn't love you as often as I could have. I'm in. Let me say this, too. One of my favorite songs of all time. I can't lose, so I'll do a little brag. flex here. One of my favorite songs of all time.

Yes, I know it. Amy? What do you have? Unanswer prayers. Unanswer prayers now. Oh, shoot. Ready? Here we go. Maybe I didn't love you.

Willie. Maybe I didn't love you. Come on. Did you get it, Eddie? Of course. You and Amy tied. I'll take the win. Do I have a winning song?

Oh, you know what? It's fun to play the game. There we go. Because, oh! Yo, unbelievable. I like that. Come on. Yeah.

Good win, dude. Thank you very much. You're not deep in your actor, but you've got more steep and don't shine. And your bees are weed, don't feel a deeper, the whistle, and take your mind. The Bobby Bones Show. Happy Thanksgiving. It's Marin Morris. One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories is probably going to the hill country in Texas.

It's like the one part of that state that has some, like, landscape. and we just go out there and ride four-wheelers and bring the dogs and build campfires and it just feels very homey and we do that. We try to do that every year and it's one of my favorite things with my family and the food is really good. It's kind of Tex-Mex vibes. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones Show.

This show is brought to you by BetterHelp. Financial stress is one of the things that we don't always talk about, 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 BetterHelp, you can get matched with a licensed therapist who fits your needs. Plus, if it's not the right fit, you can switch at any time. You don't have to carry the weight alone. When life feels overwhelming, therapy can help. Sign up and get 10% off at BetterHelp.com slash Bobby. That's BetterHelp.

So there's this 35-year-old woman, Holly McNally. She had to deliver her own baby when her doctor couldn't get to her hospital room in time. Wow. Wait, to her hospital room? Right. I know. I thought you were going to say to her cottage in the woods. Very perplexed by this.

But I guess it all just started happening so quickly. Surely there was help, but there was no doctor. She says here she delivered on her house. Anyway, three days after she did that, which, I mean, is enough going on in your life with the newborn baby and that you delivered yourself, she's driving down the highway and sees a truck that has been in an accident and is catching fire because the truck was carrying jet fuel, so it could be really bad. She ran towards the accident, towards the fire, and helped pull the man to safety. I saw her on the news. Wow. Talking about this story, yeah.

So, I mean, quite the week for her. Super bomb. I know. Brought in a baby, saved a dude. Yeah. Well, she takes a week off now on vacation. Like, take a break. But she just said that, you know, she just imagined as a mom.

She felt like that man in that truck, that's somebody's son. And I would want somebody to do that for my son. So she just ran right in. Ran into the wreckage. You have her name? Yeah, Holly McNally. Holly McNally. Sounds like a company that made encyclopedias back in the day.

Ran McNally? That's right. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Shout out to her. Tell Me Something Good. Both of those. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Bobby Bones Show. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. It's Luke Bryan. And my favorite Thanksgiving memories are when I go to Georgia every year

and do a little quail hunting with my boys. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones Show. Bobby Bones Show. Boney up the day. Over to Eddie, who's filling in for lunchbox? Security camera footage captured a prisoner is trying to escape from jail. She got up through the ceiling. She tried to walk inside underneath the roof of the prison, fell through the ceiling tiles, landed upside down in a trash can. Oh, yeah, you got to watch

out for the ceiling tiles. Well, you always see people escaping through the vents and above the ceiling like Sha Shank. Yeah. But I guess what they don't show is like people falling through. Yeah, I mean, I figured there's like a cartoon where it's just like, her head right in a trash can. Like, oh, there she is. I wonder how she went head down though. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe she was trying to crawl and just hands down. She probably was on her hands in these. Would you have been? Is that what you're thinking right now? I have fallen through a ceiling before, but I was up in the attic trying to get my old cheerleading uniform. Stop it.

Yes. And she stepped on the part. You're not supposed to step on it. Yeah, like this prison. Yes. Like in the, yeah, it just wasn't. And I went straight through. But my hips luckily caught me between the plywood or whatever. Oh, only her legs went through. Yeah. Because my hips stopped me. And then I was just dangling from the ceiling. But there was a huge hole and my mom had to get it all patched up. I was like, sorry. So you still charged the prisoner which?

trying to escape? I think so. I mean, it's still an effort, right? It's just like attempted whatever. Yeah. Attempted escape, for sure. Okay. Eddie, thank you. Yeah, that's your bonehead story of the day. All right, most people have at least one best friend in their life. What does it take for someone to be elevated to best friend status? First of all, Amy, I'll just put you in this. We'll see if you meet all these criteria. Okay. It takes four years before someone can be considered a best friend. You and I have known each other for... Oh, we've known each other for 15 or longer. The average person says they need to share four different personal experiences with someone

before they can be considered a best friend. All right, let's see if we've done this together. Go through a traumatic experience. Yes, both of us. More than one, yeah. Go on a vacation. Yes, multiple. Road trip together?

Yes. Garth Brooks Little Rock. Oh, yeah. What up. You and Eddie went to Garth Brooks Little Rock. That's true. Talk on the phone a lot. I'd say you talk a lot to me.

I just go, oh, boy. Depends on how you cat. Amy will talk to me on the phone and I'll put it on speaker and I can mute it. Where she can't hear me, I can lay it down, have another conversation with someone else in the room. No, you don't. And then I can still hear her in the back girl and like, it's like a conference call. And then I can come back over to it, catch the very end to be like, I know. No, Amy. And then you'll be like, I know. I can have two going at the same time.

Oh, okay. I had no idea. Showing loyalty, having each other's back. Mm-hmm. Yeah, a lot. Ask, give advice. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Do something spontaneous. Are we spontaneous? I don't know. Just generally you and I are spontaneous people.

Right. Text at least once a day. Yeah? Yeah, I would say average. Yeah. We'd see each other every day anyway. invite them to every party you throw. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, dang. You guys are best friends. We're basically, yeah. We're basically BFS forever. But once someone's a best friend, people will do anything for their best friend. Among the most common things BFFs do for each other. Ready?

Ready? Bail them out of jail. Of course. But you haven't. But I would. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even if I, like, if your bond was way up there, I'd rally the money, right?

If I was committed of a crime and everyone's like for sure he did it and you just felt would you go up and stand up and be like there's no way. Yeah, because I would think there's no way you did it. Travel across the country. Yeah. Yeah, we've done that though. Keep their secrets. Yeah.

Do we have secrets? I know stuff that you told me that I don't say. Yeah. About what? Well, I can't say. Good. See, it's a test. Oh, she passed.

Wow. I almost said it. on the microphone. It's a test for everybody to hear. For everyone to hear. Yeah. We pass. Okay. We pass. But I mean, both ways on this test. But those are what consider a new, a best friend. Apparently, rich people love eating fast food as much as everyone else. According to a new survey, 79% of adults in America eat fast food at least once a week. The most popular meal of the day for fast food is still lunch. Let me say, here's the reason rich people love eating fast food. The same reason? Middle class and

Poor people love eating fast food because it tastes awesome. It may not be the best for you, but what if today, let's put today in the meter, you could have one fast food meal today and it didn't matter. No calories, no, no, anything is happening to you. No bathroom issues. What do you have? I'm getting a spicy chicken sandwich from chip filet, no pickle, waffle fries, and a Diet Coke. Solid.

You still go diet without the calorie. I don't like the regular Coke. I like the taste of Diet. The Diet Coke tastes so weird. That aspartame, that tastes like this. Here's what it tastes like. To me, I love it. So that's, yes, I don't care.

What about you? If I got to do any fast food meal, it would be a toss-up today. Mm-hmm. I love thin crust pepperoni pizza from Pizza. Oh, that's so good. It's just a good. I like it so much that when you take the pepperoni off,

you could actually. drink the grease from the pepperoni. Because the grease, the pepperoni grows up into a cup. It does. You're right. And you take it and you just, like that's how I, when I, I don't have it often, but when I do. It cups grease. No, I put a paper towel on top.

No, who, why? Hey, me. Like, go for it. Go 100 or nothing. Okay. Or maybe Popeye's chicken strips with Marty Grail mustard. Like, yeah, like Popeyes with the mashed potatoes and the grit, the bread. brown gravy. And I like white gravy in most of the places. That's good with the biscuits.

Oh, a biscuit. But probably Pizza Hut today. Okay. Thin crust. Mmm. Like, chef's kiss. Come on. I think we like this food because it's what we had when we were kids. Like a big treat was pizza. Pepperoni pizza and it was the best. That's why I don't really appreciate really great pizza because the big treat as a kid was thin crust pizza hut. And so to me, that's still like a jewel.

That's still what it's people We know we get a much people to come in on in the show Celebrities I don't even have a crap about them as celebrities Except for the ones that were big when I was a kid Yeah When Black Crows came in I'm like that's so cool But you know when Keith Urban and Luke Bryan

And these guys I'm like What's up guy? That's pretty cool Like you're really good at what you do You know But it's celebrities that were big when you were a kid and we're a little jaded because we get to meet everybody.

Oh, yeah. The coolest thing had ever happened to me once I was getting on a flight and I was going to Little Rock. I was in Dallas flying to Little Rock. And I got on a Southwest Airlines flight and I was the last one on

because my connection was late getting in. So I'm running to the, to the, what do you call? Yeah, thanks. Gate, I don't know the word gate. What's wrong with me? I'm running to the gate and I get on

and I'm the last one and they're like, sir, you need to come. So I run on. every seat is full on this flight. And I'm walking down the aisle going, I don't know where I'm going to sit. But they know there's one seat left. So I'm just trusting there's one seat left on the Southwest flight.

In Southwest, you pick your own seat. So I'm looking, I'm looking, no seat. And I see in the back, like second row to the back on the right side, an open seat in the middle of two older gentlemen. The guys look to be like 60 plus years old. So I'm like, well, I guess that's where I'm going to sit. Didn't want to have a middle seat, but I take what I can get. So I'm walking back to the back.

And as I get closer, I'm like, is that Barry Switzer? who was Oklahoma coach, Dallas Cowboys coach. He's from Arkansas. He played on the Arkansas National Championship football team. And then Eddie Sutton, who Oklahoma State basketball coach, Arkansas coach. And there was an empty seat between them and I'm like, you got to be kidding me. I met a lot of celebrities. But I was like, you got to be kidding me.

Both those guys were such big deals in my life. And I sat between them and I sat next to Barry Switzer. And I was like, excuse me, excuse me. And he goes, heading to Arkansas. And I was like, yes, sir, I am. and he goes, oh, what are you going to do there? I said, well, I'm from there. I'm from a small town called Mountain Pine.

He goes, Mountain Pine, recruited a guy from there. We talked for an hour. Wow. He was the nicest guy. If he had not engaged you in conversation, how would you have handled it? I would have just done this. I would have finished the flight and said, hey, Mr. Switzer, Mr. Sutton, huge fan.

Thank you. I don't bother people. Yeah, I know. But you're inside, you were geeking out. So you just would have sat down the whole flight. I think that's a good way to handle it. Sit down. And then when the flight's over, hey, big fan.

Big fan, been staring at you the whole time. Read all your texts. That's probably what I would have done. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones show. Love when you guys reach out to us. A lot of you have questions, and so we try to answer those as we open up the mailbag. Bobby's Mailbag.

Hello, Bobby. I was wondering how you guys handle it when your kid is done with an activity and just wants to quit. I can't blame my 13-year-old son. He hates trumpet. I did too at that age. But did you make your kid. kids suffer through it? Did you, Bobby, suffer through the moans and the groans when you were doing it?

And I'm curious what the other people did with their kids. Signed Kate. Amy, I go to you first. Do you have two kids ages? 12 and 9. And they are from Haiti. They have only been in America two years. So we've tried out a few things, but I haven't really made them stick with something if they haven't liked it. But honestly, we're not even to the major extracurricular activities. Like, you know, we tried gymnastics. Like that was fine. Stevenson liked drums. But we're also busy just trying to learn English.

So if like they don't want to do something, I don't have time to force them to do it. So, but I know when I took piano as a kid, I hated it and my mom let me quit. And I'm kind of mad about that. Because I mean. Oh, you could have been awesome. Well, I don't know that it would have been awesome. But I took a lot of lessons and I could play stuff back then a little bit. I mean, nothing crazy.

But I wish I would have stuck with it because I could know more. You know, I think it's easy to go, you make them stick with it. Now, I'm going to speak as somebody who has no kids, but I'll talk about myself when I was a kid and I would try things. I think for me it was I had to buy my own equipment for stuff. I had to invest. And everybody doesn't have to do that. But I'm saying that could be an alternate version of this with your kid. Like you want to do that, you want to play trumpet.

I'll get your trumpet. But if you don't want to do it anymore and you want to go play soccer, you can have to pay for that yourself, which is going to be you. doing work and chores. And then if you want to quit after you paid for it yourself, that's on you because you paid for that. And that's what happens in adult life. I can quit whatever I want right now because I paid for it. If I want to go to the gym and quit, I pay for my membership for the next month. So I would say for me, that kept me on things until I just really didn't want to do it anymore. So I'm also not one of those. It's like you just make them suffer and know what it's like to finish. They don't want to do it fine, but I think there's an explanation of

you don't have to do this anymore, but for the things that you have to do now, this point forward, up to a certain point, you're going to have to actually pay for it in some way and hold them to it. There's just got to be accountability in some way. And maybe it's this way, maybe. But accountability is something that should be taught,

not if they find that they absolutely don't like to play the piccolo. They got to sit on the piccolo for three months. Right, because they could be exploring that they haven't found what they're really interested in or passionate about. And you know your kid. It's not the trumpet. You know your kid. More than a general rule, you know your kid.

And if you think they're just being lazy, then you make them stay. And if you think, you know, they don't like it. They're never going to like it. I think there's a lesson to accountability learning it in a different way. Now, I have no kids. Amy has two that have only been in America for a couple of years. Eddie, you have two kids of your own and two foster kids. Yes.

Ages of your kids? 12, 6, 5, and 1. When she says this, what do you think? Man, one of the best things I ever did, and I don't know if it was our idea, if we came up with us together, but it was the contract. That I was dealing with this with my 12-year-old. He wanted to play baseball, but he was flaky on certain sports. So we signed a contract, put it out, drew it out, and it was, you know, like you will play the entire season. And if you don't finish, you want to quit, you pay us the entry fee plus like $100 because he had a savings account.

So to him $100 was like, oh my gosh, that's everything I have. And sure enough, he went through the whole season without even the same. thinking about quitting. So the contract was awesome. I do it with all my other kids with anything else. Like, all right, no problem. You want to do this? This is how much it costs. Like you said, if you want to quit, then pay us the money and we'll do that. I think my general feedback would be you teach accountability however it feels most comfortable with the sensibilities of your kid because you know your kid. I just want to let them go. You want to quit? Cool. Let's go the next thing. Right. Because that doesn't teach them what life is like. But also if you're an adult and you want to quit, you get to quit.

You just got to pay for the next thing. That's what I would say. The word, Amy likes one word on stuff. Like, your word of the ears is water. I would say the word of this is accountability. Boom. As long as you can teach that in some way, I think you define your own way to teach accountability.

Bones, I think you're ready for kids. Yeah. Me too. You like it. Let's rock. Let's go. Get Kailin on the phone. And that was Bobby's mailbag.

Dying. Life's over. I'm so happy. It takes you that long to figure it out. Yeah, well, they say by 82, you become more empathetic as you're older, you've figured life out, you're more equipped to dealing with challenges. What's the average lifespan in America? Because I would bet it's right around that, if not below that. Maybe you're just excited you lived 82. That's why you're happy.

You're just like, whoop, so happy. Yeah, the average lifespan in America is 78.6 years. Wow. Oh, my gosh. So 82 is older. Yeah, that'd be pretty pumped too if I outlived the average. So I have some ways we can keep our happiness going as we get older, and these are the tips. First of all, don't retire.

Didn't plan to. Stay stimulated, keep going. Work, work, work. Exercise. Try new things. Moderation and variety are key. Like having a balanced lifestyle. And then keeping your social circle exciting.

Because meeting new people helps engage the brain. It sounds dirty when you say it like that. Exciting. Try new things. No. No. Like, I think that's just a nice generic story to go, hey. But Amy's always like, and then call 1,900 social circle.

No. Have you just me? Are you lonely on a Friday night? Is your social circle not exciting? I'm Veronica. I'll be there for you. All right. All right.

So, police pulled over an 11-year-old kid who was driving a car in a parking lot. And the adult family member who was with him told the cops that it was a way to get the kid to stop playing grand theft auto all day. because all I wanted to do was that So they thought, okay, if you want to go drive around You get this fix and do something We'll just go to this parking lot And you could drive The family member was hit with several traffic charges

So maybe, you know, find something else Well, okay I agree, right? But I'm going to tell you when I was 11 or 12 One, I was driving around in the deer woods Trying to find people where they were like running dogs And I was 11 or 12 driving around Right

And I learned to drive like really driving a part parking lot. It's in a parking lot nobody gets hit. Was there anything wrong? No, nothing was wrong. I mean, really, the... I don't hate it.

The person in charge of the kid, I know, I see what you're saying. Hot take. It was like, why not take him out of this gaming scenario and go take him out to learn something he's really going to need to use in life, like driving and we're in a parking lot.

Now, if he's like beating up prostitutes and stuff, that's in that game. Yes, it is in the game. I know. But don't want to do that, but driving in a parking lot. Crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still need to play that.

Okay, so I have a self-esteem hack. And this is something that I say all the time. I say sorry all the time. Even when I don't even, I don't even know why I'm saying it. And I'll get called out on it. Like, I'll say it. My husband will be like, you don't have to say you're sorry. You didn't do anything.

And I'm like, I guess I just, okay, I'm sorry. But this writer at Pop Sugar, which is a website I go to a lot, says that you should try replacing the word sorry if you say it a lot with thank you. Because it's like so much better. I don't really know how I would implement that. But I guess it's just helping you train your. brain to stop saying sorry. Tell me out.

Tell me, man, you're cranky this morning. Oh, I'm sorry. Tell me your cranky this morning. Thank you. Yeah. Like, that's it. Like, thank you. Sorry, I didn't get all of sleep.

But thank you for noticing that. No, just don't say sorry at all. Ever. It's eliminated. Listen, I already am not very good of saying it. So it's good for me. The science that backs are up shows that saying thank you instead of sorry, conversations more focus on appreciation,

which helps boost your self-esteem. And then both people, and in the conversation are affected negatively. Right there you have it. That was Amy's pile of stories. The Bobby Bones Show. Happy Thanksgiving, it's Chris Kirkpatrick from InSink. My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is definitely the meal.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones show. It's time for the good news. Eddie's got Tell me something good. Eddie, you're up. When a three-year-old boy goes missing, wanders away from the house, and goes into the woods, missing for a few hours, cops show up looking for the boy.

But thanks to Buddy the Pit Bull, their pet. I was hoping that's where this was going. I was hoping the dog was going to save him. Says, hey, cops, follow me. Leads him straight to the child, finds him. He's harmless. He's good to go. And everybody's happy.

Let's talk about a three-year-old first. How quickly can a three-year-old disappear? Fast. Fast, because my baby's won and he's already walking and he can go pretty quick. When your son, your two sons were three, Could they disappear out from under your eyes? Yeah, if the door was open, I mean, they were out the door. Yes, no one ever kind of left the neighborhood or anything, but yes, they moved quick.

Did you ever lease your kids? No, never. Did you ever think about it? No. Like in an airport, maybe you just tile all something on to them. I've seen moms with some of those, like, telephone string wires attached to kids' wrists. Like a cute little backpack that has a leash. Not for you.

Never. And the dog found him. Dog found him. He's great. And the cops say that usually they're out delivering bad news most of the time. It's good to get this new story out there. And listen, it's a pit bull, too, which I believe dogs are as they are trained to be. I don't believe there's a bad breed.

And so I don't like seeing pit bulls. And you've seen through each generation, all of these dogs get vilified as different. German Shepherds, like during the 80s, Rotweilers in the 90s. You know, pit bulls have been the recent one. Listen, pit bull ain't going to be bad unless it's trained to be bad. So I love that that's who saved the kid there. And that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

Right over to Amy with the Morning Corny. Here we go. Morning Corny. Why did the Jaguar eat the tightrope walker? Why did the Jaguar eat the tightrope walker? He was craving a well-balanced meal. That was the Morning Corny. The Bobby Bonn Show.

Happy Thanksgiving. It's Marin Morris. One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories is probably going to the hill country in Texas. It's like the one part of that state that has some like landscape. And we just go out there and ride four-wheelers and bring the dogs and build campfires. And it just feels very homey. And we do that. We try to do that every year.

And it's one of my favorite things with my family. And the food is really good. It's kind of Tex-Mex vibes. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones show. On the phone right now is Arkansas Keith. What's happening with you? How much? How you doing?

It's a Bobby Bones show. I live on Reddit and a lot of times they'll do these threads and one of them said, what are some ridiculous facts from history? So people were posting all these ridiculous things. So I've pulled some of them. Number one is high hills were made for Egyptian. butchers so they didn't step in blood. What?

That was why they came into existence. They wanted their feet to be lifted off. So the high hills that you are now were originally shoes for butchers in Egypt. Wow. Isn't that crazy? I saw a story from Louis Vuitton. Not Louis Vuitton. Christian Louis Vuitton where they say that when they make their shows, no effort goes in

to how comfortable the shoe is. The shoes when they make their shoes. French fashion designer Christian Louis Vuitton. does not care if the hills are comfortable. Just beautiful. Wow. That's a real person? Yes. Who, Christian?

Yeah. And he's still alive? Yeah, he's the designer. He's so rich. Oh, for sure. Loaded. How much are his shoes? Average.

Oh, $1,000. Huh. Yeah. That's average, because I would say they're anywhere from $700,500. Wow. Crazy, huh? I mean, maybe more. I don't know.

Here's another one. Ronald Reagan was a prolific lifeguard when younger, he saved his 77 people. 77 saves? Wow. Dang. Yeah. I had two. Two saves.

No, no, three. Three, one was a double. One was a double. Yeah. Yeah. How do you feel about Ronald Reagan saving 77? That's amazing. He must have been doing it right before he was president or something.

Like the whole time? Yes, the whole time. Active. Very active. These are all ridiculous history facts. In ancient Egypt's servants were smeared with honey to attract flies away from the Pharaoh. Oh, that's so. wrong. Selfish.

Mm-hmm. I mean, yeah, servant, slavery, all wrong as well as a bigger picture. But the smearing the honey on them, yes. But it is weird, though. Like, there are a bunch of flies. How do we get him away from him? You smear it on somebody else? Yeah. A Chinese emperor

escaped an assassin by running around a pillar. After two hours, the assassin got tired, bored, and went home. This is like a cartoon. Yeah. It is hard to catch somebody around like a circle pillar there. I started thinking about this. Like, it's hard unless you're, you got a step and a half on them.

It's hard. But you try to get him with that reverse. Like you go one way, one way, one way. You're talking you go the other way. That's what I would have done to him. I tried to get him that way. Before Abraham Lincoln was a politician, he was a champion wrestler with more than 300 bouts under his belt.

Lincoln only lost one match in his career and was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Wow. Abraham Lincoln, isn't that crazy? One more. People were buried alive so often in the night. 19th century, so the 1800s, that a safety coffin was invented so the dead would have the ability to alert those above the ground if they were still alive.

I wonder why it was so common. That had to happen once, and the word got out, right? Like, just one time somebody had to be buried alive. Then they had to get out, or they had to be clawing on the inside of the casket once they opened it up, which is morbid. One more. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the same day, literally, July 4th, 1826. It was the 50th anniversary.

them both signing the Declaration of Independence. So they both died same exact day, 50 years from here. Adam's last words were Thomas Jefferson survives. He was wrong by about five hours.

Here we go. This is an example and just say it when you know it. Go ahead. Rocky. Would you know that? Eventually, not that fast. Would you know that? Yeah, it'd take me a minute.

You can write your answers down and we'll hold them up here. Here we go. Name this movie theme. Amy, what is that? Superman? Is that not right? No, but it does sound close. It does. Very close.

Same conductor. Bummer. John Williams? That's right. What is that? Eddie, what is that? Oh, that's the most beautiful sound ever. Star Wars.

Morgan. Star Wars. Wow. Next one up. No, no, it's not eliminated. Not elimination. Bye, Amy. I was all talking trash already.

What movie theme song is this? I'm in. Morgan, waiting on you. I'm in. Amy. James Bond. Eddie? Mission Impossible.

Morgan. Oh. Shoot! It's Mission Impossible. Yeah! It sounds a lot like James Bond. It does. You're right, Amy.

James Bond. Here we go. Next up. Jaws? Sorry, it's James Bond. Is it really? No. Eddie? That's Jaws.

Morgan? Yeah, good. Hmm. Okay, I have three. I'll do two more. This one will be a little tougher. See if you can name this movie theme. How we feel?

Yeah, I'm in. Amy rolled her eyes at me. Not at you. I'm in. What do you have? Batman? Eddie? The Bourne movies.

You're both wrong. Morgan number two? Iron. The Avengers. Oh, I knew it was a Marvel movie. Does that count? No. Mike D.

It can't, right? Because Iron Man says, Oh, you know, Iron Man. Dan, Na, na, na, na, na,

na, Na, na, na, Na, All right, one final one. Name this movie theme. I'm in. I'm in.

All right, let's start with Amy, who's in last place but has no chance of winning. What is your answer? James Vaughn. Okay. Morgan number two, you can't actually still win. What is it?

Pink Panther. Well, you lose. So it doesn't even matter. Not a bad guess, Morgan number two. Eddie? 007. James Vaughn. There you go.

Eddie, you are a winner. What else is new? Nice job, buddy. You wouldn't happen to have the Pink Panther to sit in the theme, which? No, I don't. But it goes like this. It goes,

My favorite thing about Thanksgiving is getting home, of course, with my family. But I like to sample the dessert. I will call it an aisle. There's always multiple desserts at my family dinner.

And I get a slice of every single one, and then I regret it. But it's all good. That's what Thanksgiving's about, I guess, for me. Happy Thanksgiving from the Bobby Bones show. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. A guy in New Jersey named David was freaking out last month because his fiancé went into labor 10 weeks early. And this nurse named Lisa McGowan helped him, helped calm him down, help them.

Well, the best news is David's fiance and their son Zane are both doing well. The baby's put on weight. He's gotten stronger every day. But this makes the news because of a really weird coincidence. After Zane, the baby was born, David started looking at old photos of himself as a baby because he was also a premium. It turns out Lisa was also his nurse. Oh, wow. Way back in the day.

All the coincidence. Same nurse, both kids. Isn't that nuts? Both of them were born at St. Peter's University Hospital, and she's been working there as a nurse for over 30 years. David found a photo from 1986 of her holding him as a newborn. And his fiancee realized it was the same nurse, so they recreated the photo with their son last week.

So a pretty cool story. Picture is pretty cool. I saw it online, and I wanted to share that, and that's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good So what are you really, really bad at? Like hilariously bad. Amy, you're up. Depth perception? That's a funny one.

Like with my body and my car. With your body? But not moving objects. Oh, like walking. Like, yeah, walking, running. Like I'm constantly having bruises or I hit things. Never other moving things. It's stuff that's just still.

Like I run into it or with my car or my body. Do you think that it's just you not paying attention though? No, I think my depth perception is off. Because you also have ADD a lot where I can't keep your attention. So I think it's probably just an attention thing. Could be that, okay, so I'm bad at having my attention kept. What about you? Handwriting and drawing.

I can't draw anything. There are six and seven-year-olds that can do both. Can write better than me and draw better than me. No skill, no sense whatsoever. weird because you're creative too. Can't draw a dang thing. Yeah. Eddie? Mine's math.

I know a lot of people about math. No, I'm bad at math. Like, even if I'm just doing regular adding up, like I love to gamble. But when I do over like a certain amount of score and I look at the scores, I'm like, oh, I don't know. What's 98 plus 62? I don't know.

Could you be, and I'm asking this honestly, dyslexic? No, because I don't read dyslexic. I don't do anything like that. There's many different forms. Oh, well, then maybe. I wonder if you look at numbers and it just comes across as mush if there's some sort of

like learning disability that you never addressed early. Possibly. I always like to blame it on my education back home, but I don't know if that's it either because I took geometry, algebra, and I'm telling you, bones, I learned nothing.

I don't even know how I passed it. I think my teachers were just like, poor Eddie, he just doesn't know math, pass them. Because I'm severely colorblind and just dark colors all look. It's just like mush to me. It's not something I control. Yeah.

So I wonder if there's something there with numbers to you. I'll look into that. Do you know your time tables, though? No. How do we get tested for that? I know the fives and the twos. Eight times six? No.

48? 37. All right. Thank you. No. How do we get tested for that? Now Amy wants it on the dyslexia? The numbers one.

It's a real thing. I have friends that are super successful that struggled in school. And they were like, I just couldn't get it because it wasn't that I wasn't putting in the work. It was like I just, it was like reading a different language. Yeah. And then expecting you to go, okay, take this test. But you're like, I don't even know how to study it.

because that was a different language. Exactly. Well, I just didn't know there was different forms of it because reading I don't have a problem at all but with numbers I mix them up

and so I'm like I never knew that was a thing so Eddie and I should maybe go take a test. Hey, ask scuba Steve we can find a place to send them. Love it. Because I would,

I think in all seriousness it would be good for some of our other listeners, kids and adults to know. That if you guys came back with or without it. Yeah, we'll see if we can find them a place.

Yeah. Okay. I don't trust online though. Perfect. Google. Morgan number two, what are you bad, bad at? pronouncing words.

I mess up words all the time. And words are really simple to most people. I don't know why. I just can't pronounce things. The Bobby Bones Show. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all. It's Luke Bryan. And my favorite Thanksgiving memories are when I go to Georgia every year
