Owning a home comes with a lot of things nobody really prepares you for,
including yard care.
Sunday is a company trying to make that part easier.
They start with a soil test and climate data to build a yard plan tailor to where you live,
then ship everything directly to your door.
No guesswork, no dragging bags of fertilizer.
And instead of harsh chemicals, Sunday uses simple, nutrient dense ingredients like seaweed, molasses, and iron.
Everything hooks up to a hose, which honestly sounds like my speed.
If your yard feels more stressful than satisfying, Sunday's approach makes a lot of sense.

It's a Bobby Bones show.
This came up because one of my friends was like,
is fast car awesome or terrible?
I was like, what are you talking about?
Fast car from Tracy Chapman's awesome.
Like when you hear it, you go,
I forgot that song was so good.
Come on.
Because you sing all the words with it.
How do you even think the song is not amazing?
You got a fast car.
And I got a ticket to anywhere.
Been looking for a can do.
convenience store.
I'm not sure how it goes exactly.
I don't think that's the line.
Let's hear.
You get a fast car.
I want a ticket to anywhere.
Maybe we make a deal.
But that's a jam, right?
We all agree with that?
Yes.
You forget about it for a while.
And then when it comes on, you go, oh, that's my song.
So we'll go around the room.
You haven't heard it in a while.
But it comes on, you go, oh, that's a jam.
Amy?
I mean, I have to jam out to this.
It's sublime what I got.
Oh, what I got.
And you forget about it, too.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I don't know what party's at.
You can sing whatever you want.
It's all the same.
Okay, okay.
Let me see what I remember.
I don't cry when my dog runs away.
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay.
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot.
Oh, boy.
It's the modeling.
It's right to the right.
It's all the same.
Living with Louis' dog is the only way to stay sane.
Oh, see, I go, liver, do or die is the only way to stay the same.
Listen, I was thinking about a convenience store a minute ago.
In a fast car.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Lunchbox.
Oh, man, this is the jam.
Lit, my own worst enemy.
Oh, yeah.
Dude, that's old school.
That's a good one.
This is so good.
Dude, that's a jam.
That's a jam.
I forgot about that.
And you forget about it being such a jam.
They were in the bowling alley in that video.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Eddie, our video guy.
Man, I forgot about this band, fun.
And when I hear Carry on, Caron.
Oh, it's so good.
Carry on, carry on.
Yeah, it's good.
They were awesome.
Dude, they were so good.
They're done.
They break up.
Yeah.
The one guy's in bleachers.
Yes, I knew that.
And then Nate Russ is doing solo.
That you could sing.
You know, I picked one in my own, too.
And oddly, it's another Tracy Chapman song.
Oh, she had two?
Oh, no.
Well, her other one is, dude, just as when it comes on, you go, I got to sing it all.
Let me hear this.
Give me away.
Oh, come.
Yeah.
And I'll turn right back around.
Isn't it stay here?
And I'll turn right back around.
Dang.
She might be my wheelhouse.
Oh, you mean your vocalist?
And I told you that alone.
Go ahead.
You got to make me change my mind.
Okay, Amy.
Okay.
Wow.
Want to squeeze me?
If I take away my life
Man, good
That might be your wheelhouse too
It's all the wheelhouses
So these are songs that you don't hear for a while
And they come on and you go
Oh, that's the jam
Morgan number two, do you have one?
Yeah, it's a walk the moon, shut up and dance
Oh yeah, that's a good one
Yeah, wouldn't that like yesterday?
It came out last year
I see 24
That's good
The jam too
That's fun segment, huh?
Yeah
Bobbybones.com
We're going to do a segment called
Cry me a river.
Something kind of annoying, but probably not worth complaining about that you complain about anyway.
Crime me a river.
Amy, you're up.
Well, my son came home from school saying that he needed some change from his piggy bank to take to school because his teacher told him,
hey, if you bring money, you can buy chips.
But why is that annoying?
Why did she have to tell him that?
Oh, you like for him to not know he can buy chips.
Yeah, like he doesn't need the chips.
And we packed his lunch.
He took his lunch, like a healthy lunch.
We got it.
I don't need suggestion, like to put that in his mind to where he can get money to go buy chips
because he doesn't need chips.
But does he hang out with all the other kids and he sees all the other food they have?
That's fine.
We don't always have to have what everybody else has.
Oh, okay.
Right?
Okay, okay, Crime Me a Red.
But I was just like, come on, teacher.
Right.
No one says anything.
That's a chip.
All right, lunchbox, Crimeeer River.
I made an online appointment to get my oil chains at 11 a.m.
I showed up at the business at 11 a.m.
gave them my keys.
I sat there for two and a half hours.
Wow.
Two and a half hours because I kept thinking,
oh, they got to be almost done.
They got to be almost done.
No.
If you have an 11 o'clock appointment,
it should get in at 11 a.m.
and be done by 1130.
I'm surprised you lasted that long.
I'd give them my keys.
And I figured by the time I go get my keys,
maybe my car's next.
So if I leave somewhere and go somewhere else,
I'm just going to waste as much time.
I didn't know it was going to take two and a half hours.
Oh, wasted my whole day.
Cry me around.
Ramundo, our audio guy, what do you have over there?
Yeah, probably in the last month I've spent about $40 on car washes where I live, my apartment.
Apparently it's migrating season.
There's a bunch of birds.
Every night they crap on our cars.
You can't even see out of your windshield, so it's like, oh, now time to go get another car wash, guys.
The birds crapped again last night.
I have a very brief one.
My yard is full of phone books.
This is phone book season.
And there are four phone books on my yard.
And I will not go walk out there and pick them up.
Oh.
Who would use a phone book?
I don't know.
Who's going to pick them up?
We had a phone book together.
I guess I'm going to have to imagine.
Any other ones?
Yeah, dude.
Go ahead.
Online shopping at Walmart where the pickup has changed my life.
You go online, you get whatever you want, and then you drive up there and they deliver
in your car.
Right?
It's amazing.
The only problem is every item has its own bag.
So when I get home and I order 50 items, I have 50 plastic bags left.
Oh, is that right?
Yes.
What am I going to do with 50 bags?
I don't know they wrapped every item like that.
Every single item has its own bag.
Oh, I mean, that's pretty good cry.
Yeah.
I feel like this has turned into valid cries, though.
The segments will be dumb cries,
and now we're actually crying about valid.
We have valid arguments.
Yeah, that's too many plastic bags.
Not necessary.
Amy's kids, nutrition, the environment.
Yeah.
Waiting too long at the oil changes, please.
There's no way I'm waiting two and a half hours.
Like, hey, getting out my keys back.
Like, if you can't, I made this appointment here.
Can you promise me it's going to be the next thing?
15 minutes, because if not, I want to go ahead and go to somewhere else.
That's what I would have done.
Well, for 30 minutes, my car was in there, the hood was up, and the guy was on a smoke break.
No, well, yeah.
Because I saw, I sat there and watched my car, and I saw him smoking a cigarette outside.
Just, woo-hoo!
I thought you were like, Mr. Get Stuff done.
Well, I mean, I almost went out and stomped a cigarette out, but I thought.
Oh, come on.
Bobby Bones is on.
Annie, why do you always think everything's about you being Mexican?
What do you mean, dude?
What did I say this time?
And he said to read the store and the fish guy came up?
Oh, yeah.
Why don't you think he would do it to a white person?
Because he's straight up as to me.
He's like, you Hispanic?
I was like, uh, yeah, maybe.
And he's like, dude, I got some fish.
You want to buy some?
This is in the parking lot.
And I was like, fish.
Like, what do you mean?
He's like, I got some in the back of the truck.
I catch fish every single day.
And I usually sell it to Mexican people.
I'm like, straight up.
We'll eat anything.
I get it.
I understand that.
Wait, what?
Yeah, he says he sells him a dollar of fish.
Wait a minute.
Was he white?
Yeah, he's a white dude.
Real nice dude.
Like really nice guy.
He's like, no, no, I just usually that's my market.
Like Mexican people, I'm like, well, I get that.
We love fish and a deal, too.
A dollar a fish?
Show me this fish.
Did you go look at the fish?
I did.
He has bass.
He had catfish.
He had another one that I didn't recognize.
But, yeah, man, like a dollar of fish in the back of the truck.
Did you buy any fish?
No, I didn't buy fish from this dude's back of the truck.
At first I was like, that's a steal.
Like, this is a good deal.
Expensive fish inside the store, cheap fish in the parking lot.
It sounds like the guy that comes to the gas station and goes, hey,
like music? Like, yeah, got the speakers in the back.
Yeah, no, you shouldn't do that. They'll throw you in the van and kidnap you.
You think this guy was trying to get me with fish?
No, I think the guy was, the speaker people sell you, oh crap, stolen speakers.
Oh, no, it's...
It's mostly hot stuff.
That's the first thing I thought, too. This guy has stolen fish.
But how do you steal fish?
I don't know.
It's cookware.
You want to rob a fish store?
Yeah, or a fish farm.
But he really said that about you being a Mexican?
Yeah, that's how he opened up the conversation at first.
I was like, oh, great, what does this guy?
What is this guy?
What?
So, okay, I'm you.
Yeah.
Walk up to me as the fish guy.
Hey man, what's up?
How are you doing, buddy?
Are you Mexican?
And then when you say,
Yeah, I am.
Hey, cool, man.
Hey, look, I got some fish for a dollar in my back of my truck.
Do they do this at home?
No, I've never been asked to buy fish in the back of my truck.
You never been fish solicited?
No, like back when I was growing up, like you go to the shrimp boats or the fish boats
when they come in and they sell them off the boat.
But no, not a dude in the parking lot.
Like, racist dude trying to give you a deal?
Yeah.
That's like oxymoron.
Oh, no.
You're real nice.
Bobbi Bones show.
Bohnhead.
Story of the day.
This story comes with us from Oregon.
A man was on a nice hike.
He gets to the top of a waterfall.
He's like, oh, perfect place for a selfie.
Oh, yeah.
He climbs out on the waterfall.
Oop, loses his balance, slips, falls 50 feet.
Wow.
Lands on a rock and breaks his pelvis.
Oh, no.
Did he get the picture, I wonder.
I don't know
And I don't know if he has his phone still
Because as he's falling
It's woo
Oh man
That's such a bummer
Yeah
He needs to come up with a better story
He does?
Yeah
Other than I was trying to take a selfie
Oh
Oh the video's crazy
Oh
Oh there's videos
Because there's people down the bottom
I can see him
Oh never mind
So someone sees him
Holding the phone up
And then he's I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
I don't want to see it
It's bad
It's bad I'm going to watch it again
I'm Fudge Foxx. That's your bonus story of the day.
Come on, y'all.
It's time for the good news.
With Amy.
Tell me something good.
So a toddler is alive and well today thanks to some police officers who happened to be in the neighborhood.
So this dad, James, was at home with his two-year-old daughter in Arizona, and his daughter fell in the pool.
He grabbed her and frantically pounded on his neighbor's door, hoping,
someone could help his unconscious toddler, like freaking out not knowing what to do.
Well, officers that were in the neighborhood saw him acting frantic and banging on the door,
so it wasn't even his neighbors that helped save him.
Luckily, the officers were right there.
They started CPR on the little girl and continued doing it until she led out a cry,
which is obviously a sign that she was okay.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
My favorite things on the internet are when they catch famous people walking out of their house.
Oh, yeah.
And they start to talk about all their clothes and how much.
much all their clothes cost. I love it. Here's Kylie Jenner. This is from page six walking out of her
house. Kylie Jenner took NYC by Storm in a sporty outfit worth over $38,000. What? Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Just her outfit. Yeah. The new mom wore $650.5. Why Project double waist
track pants as a jumpsuit, adding a hint of glam with metallic purple Francesco Russo pumps worth
$1,600. She donned gold case-stud earrings by established jewelry, currently worth
$1,180.
The makeup mogul then topped off the look with $165
Westward leaning sunglasses, and a Rolex
watch worth $34,500.
That's what they get you on that Rolex.
I know, I was like, why her sunglasses is so cheap?
They're like cartoon characters.
Yeah, I know, you're right.
You described it the other day, like, they're at the zoo
and you're just watching them.
You're like, wow, look at the zebra.
The giraffe's neck is so long.
These celebrities.
Did they even know how much they're wearing?
And did they get to keep it?
wonder if this is a thing or if it's loaned out, you know.
Do you want to hear another one because they get more obnoxious?
Yes.
Am I out of touch that I think these are fascinating?
No, I'm into it.
I don't know.
Okay.
Ariana Grande, she had a pantless look in New York City.
Oh boy.
Brace yourself.
Ariana Grande hit the streets of New York City in a pantless look worth almost $163,000.
What?
Was she in a car?
What plan is there?
You'll see why, but that's funny.
The newly engaged singer scrolled with fiancé Pete Davidson,
wearing a $100 yellow cloney sweatshirt with $1,400 Giuseppe's and naughty boots.
She paired her leg-bearing look with a Louis Vuitton monogram crossbody.
In addition to her new $93,000 Greg Unah engagement ring,
Grande brought the bling with $67,000 Harry Kotler Diamond Stud earrings.
Oh, so her jewelry.
Well, yeah, her engaged ring is $93,000.
And her earrings.
$67,000.
Yeah.
I was thinking that Louis Vuitton bag
was going to be the most expensive thing on her, but...
Fascinating.
That dude makes enough money to buy a $90,000 ring.
Look up Pete Davidson's net worth.
I don't know.
He's like 23.
Yeah.
I didn't know.
He's on Saturday Night Live, but...
I don't think he is anymore, is he?
Oh, he's not?
Is he back?
Yeah.
Well, he left for a while.
Oh.
His net worth is $2 million.
Maybe they gifted in the ring.
Or maybe she bought it for herself.
What's Ariana Grande's net worth?
Oh, $1 million.
A cajillion.
A cajillion, you say.
Go ahead.
$45 million.
Yeah, she bought it.
She probably did a treat yourself.
Yeah.
He was like, I propose.
She goes, I'm going to treat myself.
I love those segments.
I will watch every one of them on that page six website.
When there's a new one,
Mike D sends me an alert.
He sends me a special one.
He goes, hey, there's a new one up.
What's his name, Ariana Grande's?
Pete Davidson.
He could be making payments.
Oh, yeah.
He could have got it.
Called up, you know, Diamond's direct.
You guys want to do it?
Never going to get it?
Yeah.
All right, all right.
It takes the average person nine and a half minutes to do this.
Oh, man.
What's that?
Oh, I'm in.
What's that?
What's that?
Nine minutes.
I'm in, I'm in.
What's that?
Nine and a half minutes, the average person to do this.
Amy, you want to guess it?
Fall asleep.
Fall asleep, she says.
Show me fall asleep.
Oh.
Oh.
It takes the average person nine and a half minutes to do this.
Amy said fall asleep.
That's not right.
Let's go over to Donna in Arkansas.
Hey, Donna, take a shot.
So I say brush your teeth, the whole oral hygiene.
Oh, brush your teeth hole.
Oh.
A whole oral hygiene is what she meant.
She means all of it.
The whole oral hygiene.
No, that's a lot, though, huh?
Lunchbox.
Oh, I say take a bathroom.
Take a bathroom.
Take a bathroom.
You take one, leave one.
When I said that you said, Eddie?
This one reminds me of you.
I'm going to say eat.
No.
The answer is, why does it remind you at me?
Fast.
Because you, fast eater.
Let's go.
Bring me the check.
That's like you out to eat with friends.
I'm done.
Oh, that's a social dinner.
Yeah, nine minutes.
Nine minutes.
Yeah, I've got it booked from 550 to 559 if you can put that in.
Thank you.
The average person takes nine and a half minutes to find something to watch on Netflix.
There it is.
That's the answer.
Nobody got it.
You know what I watched last night was this documentary called Anvil?
Because Eddie said, dude, you'll love this documentary.
And so, what is it?
This Canadian metal band.
And by the way, the music sucks.
But the whole point is they were almost big in the 80s and they've been trying to make it back all the time.
It's actually pretty good.
A documentary.
It's a hour and 15 minutes.
Did they ever make it?
I'm not telling you.
How didn't?
Bobby Bones is on.
Over to our video producer Eddie.
What's on your mind, bud?
I'm just asking for a friend here,
but can you text while you're stuck in traffic?
I know you have like no driving and texting rules.
Yeah?
Is that cool?
And I'm talking slow rolling traffic.
Maybe even at a halt.
No.
No?
If your car is in drive, you cannot text.
Dang.
If your car has the ability to roll forward,
don't be on your phone.
What if the phone's right in front of your face and you're looking at the road?
Then you're not looking at the road.
Okay.
The problem with the car is it's really big.
And if you hit someone or something, it's going to hurt someone or something.
Maybe even you.
I was just wondering.
Just wondering.
It crossed my mind.
For a friend.
For a friend.
Not for me.
That texting and driving, man, your focus is off of the road.
And you're talking about multi-tons of metal that could hit somebody or something.
and it's going to be expensive
and maybe not just in money
the thing that happened to me was
I was messing on my radio
and the car and the turning lane starts driving off
and I think that I'm not even looking at my phone
looking at the radio
and I'm like oh well they're going
I'm going to go too
and I hit the gas and I look up
and that car still sitting right in front of me
and I have to nail the brake
because I almost ran into the back of the car
so unless your car is in park
you really shouldn't focus on anything else
so put the car in park when you're at a red light
if you want to yes
Take a text to answer something.
You can.
My problem at red lights, too, is I get honked at all the time.
Because I'll be at a red light.
If I'm stopped at a red light, I pull my phone out and see who called.
I really won't do Twitter that much anymore.
But I'll look and see if someone called.
I'll read a text message.
But I get honked at every time.
Yeah, me too, me too.
Time ago.
Yeah, I don't even think the honking at the red light's even angry anymore.
I think it's like, hey, buddy, get off your phone.
Just letting you know.
Yeah, you're good.
Because everybody's on their phone.
Everybody.
At a red light.
And everybody should get off their phone.
while they're driving.
Even on traffic.
Yeah, no, I know.
Your thoughts, lunchbox?
I just thought it was funny that you get on Twitter
when you're in your car.
I mean, that's unreal.
Yeah, I get on everything.
I'm stopped.
You go, well, I gave up Twitter.
I do.
Like, that is, you don't want to miss something that's trending, dude.
I get it.
Yeah, I don't want to miss it.
Check Instagram.
Okay, you guys.
See, I share, and you guys attack me.
Bobby Bones Show.
Our head audio guy, Ray Mundo, is in the glass room,
and sometimes he does things, and he regrets it.
It's called.
regrets.
Yeah, so I was at the grocery store,
me and my girl, we're pushing around the cart,
and I see a blonde hair girl with short hair,
and she looks kind of familiar.
I'm like, I'm in the South.
There's a lot of girls that have blonde hair,
and then it hits me.
Oh my gosh!
It's Ray Lynn.
Boom!
At the grocery store, and so the first thing that comes to my head is,
oh my gosh, these country stars are rich.
What if I go talk to her,
guaranteed she buys my groceries?
So, me and my girl,
go right down next to her,
shopping car, everything. I'm like, yes, she's going to get my groceries. She's going to get my
groceries. I don't know what came over me, but last second, I was like, no, she's wearing yoga
pants. She's not even got her makeup on. She doesn't want anybody to talk to her. Don't talk to her.
Don't talk to her. I walked away. I never talked to Raylan. I still regret that now because she
would have bought my groceries. Yeah, there you have it.
Ray's regrets. There you have it.
Here's the song from Brett Young, Mercy.
And here's Amy's kids singing Mercy.
You know what's weird about this is they speak French?
They're from Haiti.
Do they think mercy is mercy?
Well, that's why this is one of their favorite songs.
And they sing it every time it comes on,
and they always talk about they love it.
And I'm like, why do you love this song so much?
Do you even understand what he's singing about?
And they're like, because he's the only song we hear in Creel.
He's saying thank you a lot.
Mercy is thank you in French Creole.
So they think he's saying merci, but he's saying mercy.
Yeah.
What's doing during that?
They're flipping through a book.
Like, we just had it on.
I just put it on.
I didn't want to tell them exactly what was going on
because they always sing it.
And so they were just, it was on.
They were flipping through a book
and just mumbling out the words.
I like this song too, though.
I don't know all the words either.
Yeah, I just kind of yell along with it.
It doesn't matter.
Just sing along with the tune.
You have to get all the words, right?
Yeah.
That's a jam right there
You don't think so
Mercy?
Merci.
Did they still say that?
They still use it.
Mercy?
They speak less and less Creole.
It's crazy.
They used to only communicate
to each other in Creole
and I'll say like
I thought it was going to take a year
but we're eight months in
and they're straight English to each other.
Really?
Yeah.
How's school we're going?
Stevenson's first few days
We're a little bit rough
We had some moments.
Does he talk a lot in school?
Is he like a jibber jibble?
ever? Yeah. And then his teacher
let him call me from school the
other day, like from the phone. I get a weird
number. I ignore the call because I don't know the number.
It calls back. I ignore it. It calls
back so I'm like, I better answer this. And he's like,
hey mom, and I'm like, what?
And he's like, he was calling
to tell me that he was having a great day at school
and he was doing really good and saying yes, ma'am.
And I think he was allowed to give me an update because the other
few days had been so rough. And so now
he's like turned a corner. And like
And she let him use the phone?
Yeah, I could hear her in the background
Just be like, tell her you've been doing great
And he'd be like, I've been doing great
How'd you feel about that?
I mean, I thought it was great
I love that we have that
Like she was helping him get excited
About being good and making good choices
Because when he makes bad choices
What?
Well, he has to get,
they're just to get in trouble
And I don't like him being in trouble
You're cool mom, no trouble
No, no, we just, no
I'm a disciplinarian
Yeah, trust me
He doesn't get away with that
You want to make good choices
is you're making bad choices. Pick now. Put out a hand.
Can I do that to you guys? Put out hands? Good choices or bad choices?
Yeah, that way, that way they feel like they have a choice. And if he wants to choose the bad
choice, at least he had the right to choose it. And then what happens? And then he feels like
he's got the power. And then he knows that, well, he's the one that caused himself to now be in
trouble. That was your choice.
That's your choice.
Thank you. Thank you.
It's time for the good news.
With lunchbox.
There's this 17-year-old kid sitting in his house in Savannah, Georgia with his mom, watching some TV, and he looks out the window and he goes, Mom, the neighbor's house is on fire.
You need to call 911.
The neighbor's an 85-year-old man.
The 17-year-old leaves the house, runs next door into the burning house, and carries the 85-year-old man out of the house.
He was asleep, too.
85-year-old man didn't even know his house was on fire.
Wow.
Wow.
Not only to see it and to call attention to it,
but he ran in and grabbed him and carried him out of there.
That I mean, I'd be like, what's happened on here?
Oh, man.
That's an awesome story, though. Good one.
That was Tell Me Something Good.
Hey, what's happening, guys?
You know, you get on your phone.
You're always tinking around, trying to find stuff to do.
There's a lot of games.
A lot of apps out there.
But I'll say this, there's only one Best Fiends.
And if you're like me, you're tired of the same old apps on your phone.
And let me recommend to you the puzzle game, Best Fiends.
There's a ton, they've been saying infinite amount of challenging puzzles,
thousands of levels to play, and tons of characters to collect.
It's the perfect game to play whenever you want.
You can play with family, friends, by yourself.
Either way, you won't get bored, and you won't be using your thumb going,
ah, there's nothing to do on my phone.
The best part, you can even play without internet connection,
so you can play literally anytime, anywhere.
Morgan number two plays it before the show starts.
I catch myself playing Best Fiends, just all the time, sitting somewhere,
play some Best Fiends.
Give it a try.
And you can tell me where you catch yourself playing Best Fiends.
Download Best Fiends for free on the app store or Google Play Today.
That's Friends Without the R.
Best Fiends and you can be part of the club.
Folks, it's your buddy and mine.
Mr. Bobby Bones.
Let me know.
We're transmitting across America.
This is the Bobby Bones show.
That's right.
Now, here he is.
Turn it up.
Gonna go over to Amy with the morning corny.
Set your iPhones every morning at this time, you'll probably laugh.
The Morning Corny.
What did the fungus say in the crowded elevator?
What did the fungus say in the crowded elevator?
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
I don't have mushroom.
That's very funny.
That was the morning corny.
There you go.
This next segment was inspired by our phone screener, Hillary.
And if you call the show, she's the one who answers the phone when you call in.
Hi, Hillary.
Hi.
And so this song I'm going to play changed your life.
Yes.
It's Concrete Angel by Martina McBride.
So where did the inspiration for this segment come from that we're talking about right here?
I was just, it came on my phone.
I was listening to it.
And I heard it when I was like nine or ten years old.
And because of that song, I went out and bought her album.
That was the first album I bought, the first concert I went to.
And it really changed my life.
That's why I'm in radio.
It's because of her music.
Because of Martina McBride's music, you're standing right here in front of me.
Yeah, she's my favorite artist of all time.
Wow.
Of all time.
You ever met her?
No.
No, I would probably cry.
That's like the one person I'd be starstruck over.
The one person?
Not even Sam Hunt?
I've met him.
I've interviewed Sam Hunt and I was fine.
Oh yeah?
He's pretty good looking though.
He is.
He's not Martina McRide.
You're kind of obsessed with her, huh?
I really do love Martina.
No, no, kind of obsessed a little bit?
Maybe.
Not a stalkerish way.
Well, I know this, and I'll leave the details out, but I was in a group with Martina McRoy's daughter,
and I heard that you recognized her daughter.
I didn't know it with Martina Wry's daughter, but I heard that you recognized her immediately.
It was like, oh my God, your Martina-R-R-R-Ride's daughter.
I didn't say that, but I knew who she was, yes.
I don't want to be weird.
And how did you know who she was?
I follow Martina on social media, and she posts about her daughters.
And by the way, her daughters are 20s.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. And were you starstruck by her daughter?
Not really. Like, I talked to her normally.
Amy, was she starstruck?
I mean, it was a little like, I didn't even know.
Like, Hillary looked at me and she was like, she was like,
that was Martina McBride's daughter.
And I was like, how did you know that?
And then, yeah, she just knew. I mean, she's super fan.
She's super fan.
You're super fan.
I am a super fan.
All right.
Well, maybe we'll get her in here.
That would be so cool.
I don't know what I would do, to be honest.
Bobby, make it happen.
Come on.
Do it.
Do it.
Well, I'm glad that song changed your life.
That's fun.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's good.
That is cool to think, like, that's why you're, that's why you got into radio.
I know it's a depressing song, but it's a good song.
I think a lot of these songs I have here are depressing.
But Concrete Angel changed Hillary, our phone screeners.
Life.
Yeah.
My life.
What about that.
All right, songs that change your life.
Let's go to Amy.
Amy.
Okay, well, I went with one called,
It's a great day to be alive by Travis Tritt.
There's lots of songs that have been a big part of my life and changed my life.
But this one evokes so much emotion in me still to this day, 18 years later.
Because when I was like a freshman or sophomore in college, my boyfriend broke up with me.
And I would cry in the shower a lot while listening to music.
But I needed to get that emotion out.
and this is one of the songs that I would cry to
but I also would use it as a reminder
that it was a great day to be alive
I love the song
I know all the words
It's just weird to me that you would pick a song
of you know 19 year old angst
Why can every day be just this good?
Cry with it
I would lay on the bathtub floor
with the shower hitting my head
You would lay on the bathtub floor?
Yes, I'd get down and I would just cry, and the water would be flowing over my head,
and I would just be like, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up.
Okay, cry with it though, like cry see it.
No, no, no, I reenact it.
Okay?
Come on.
I would just seeing the sun still shut and close my, I mean, it would be like that.
My roommates would be like, are you okay?
I'm like, I'm fine, I'm just having my therapy.
But to this day, sometimes if I need, if I need,
I know I need to get that out, I can put that song on, and it'll help me get out whatever
emotion I need.
But then it'll also make me feel good because it's just a great day to be alive.
There you have it.
How long have you been married?
I've been married almost 12 years.
Why?
He's wondering.
You really snap back into that.
I'm curious.
Yeah.
Just a spot.
Okay.
Thank you, Amy.
Okay.
That's good.
Lunchbox.
When I was 12 years old, what's love got to do with it?
Tina Turner.
This song made me realize why people like music.
Because not a lot of music captures my attention
And it's like, oh my gosh, that's amazing
But I heard this in the car
Driving to Chicago with my family
And I was like, this is amazing
And this is like emotion
Like you can feel her feelings
Oh, it's so good
He loves Tina Turner
He can feel her feelings
Hey, hey he says things
How he thinks of them, right?
Yeah, that's right
That's right, that's what I think you feel it
Don't you feel her?
I think we all feel different
Like mine's a John Mayer's song
and mine is Stop This Train
because it was the first time I ever heard a song
where I was like, oh, that writer is like speaking
in my language.
Like, he's saying words and thoughts
like I think words and thoughts.
Like ever in my whole life.
It was like,
Stop this train.
It's because he talks about
and I'm only good at being the youngest person
to do things.
What if I have to catch up?
And I was like, this guy speaks like,
that's where I become a John Mayer fan
like listening to his words.
The first ever songwriter
that wrote words
that I felt like I was also thinking.
And so I was older.
I was in my 20s.
but I was like, whoa, like music's taking a new spot.
Like, that could come from me.
That's what that felt like.
And he's also, he's a little bit older than I am, but were they kind of the same age-ish?
So I think you have same sensibilities, if that's the thing.
We're both odd, kill your.
Morgan number two, what do you have?
What's the song?
You're 24.
What is it like, I don't know, Britney Spears?
No, it's actually Baby Girl by Sugar Land.
Oh, yeah?
Why this one?
It's just kind of when I was growing up
I always wanted to get out of the city
And I wanted to pursue whatever dream I had
And this song was always like, you can do it
And you can do whatever you put your mind to
And it'll be okay
And your parents will understand
And life will be okay
Look at you!
Make me smile
Can Morgan number two?
You can do whatever you want
Thanks about me.
Are your parents proud of you?
Very.
They were listening to the show?
Yeah, they do all the time
Do they get mad at me whenever
What did she said to her?
What? You interrogated?
Oh, do they get mad to me when I interrogate you?
No, I mean, they think everything's funny.
They'll call and be like, oh, you remember that segment?
I'm like, yes, Mom, I was sitting in the room when that happened.
Dang.
Wow, smartly, then.
It's time for the good news.
With Bobby.
Tell me something good.
The New York City Public Library is helping people prepare for interviews for their jobs.
At the Riverside Library, on the Upper West Side, if you have a library card, you can also rent
grow up accessories, which help you, including ties, briefcases, and handbags.
Oh, that's awesome.
So when you go into a job interview...
You can look professional.
You can look professional if you can't afford that stuff.
And hopefully, then you can't afford it.
And they say, hey, if we help you out, maybe you give a tie back or something at some point.
Yeah.
And they hope for this to spread through New York and then through the state.
And hopefully, if it works, other libraries will do the same thing.
Isn't that pretty cool?
Love it.
Love it.
Tell me something good.
Folks, it's your buddy and my...
Mr. Bobby Bow.
I wonder how many parents will relate to this one.
And if so, you can call 877-Bobby.
This girl, Caitlin, she's six years old.
She was allowed to order a Barbie from Amazon.
So her mom says this is how you order the Barbie.
One.
It's one.
You pick the one you want.
But she decided she wanted more and she ordered herself $350 worth of toys.
Yeah.
Later, I mean, now that she knew how to do it and she got her mom's phone.
She's like, I'll take that and I'll take that.
Yeah, so the mom shared a picture of her kid standing beside a stack of packages from her recent purchase.
Three pages of things had been ordered.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, the six-year-old, a little scammer in the making.
Yeah.
Mom's got to get life log for her own six-year-old.
So didn't your kids do that?
Yeah, on their tablet.
It wasn't items that were delivered to the house, but it was stuff they bought on their tablet.
Stuff they would never even use.
They were just clicking on things like, you know, software.
That's like $20.
for some app that does something that they have no clue how to use,
but they were just clicking on it.
And I just, I opened up my email because I get a notification,
and I had like 20 emails of purchases,
ranging from $3.99 to $20.
And I called Amazon, and they were so kind and removed everything.
Let's go to Stephen in Iowa.
Hey, Stephen.
Yeah, how's it going?
Hey, we're talking about kids, and they get on the computer,
they get on the phone, they buy stuff.
What happened with you?
My son who's now four
At two years old
Happen to buy about $175 worth of stuff
Off my Xbox Live account
Oh wow
So wait he's two
Well now he's four
But when he was two
He knew how to navigate to the store
With the Xbox controller
And
Happen to make purchases for games
And that I had already bought
Discwise and movies
And yeah
Wow what a gifted two year old
That's what I say
Already figuring it out
Hey, thank you for that.
Hey, Tiffany in Arkansas, what you got?
Well, I've got a couple stories, but my first experience, my oldest son, who's now 13,
he must have been probably about four and wanted to play games for my phone all the time.
So when I had upgraded, I gave him my old son.
And being an inexperienced mother of a child working in electronic,
I did not clear my password and everything.
So he went into the Apple store.
I was at work.
He was home with a babysitter.
went into the Apple store and just went crazy and started downloading games.
And I started getting email notifications, you know, iTunes searches for this.
I mean, within 30 minutes, we got $100.
Luckily, I mean, I called an explain situation.
Obviously, it was not the first time they had heard it, and I got on my money to find it.
It's not the first time they had heard it.
They probably have people just for this.
Yeah.
I've got a kid shopping on line too.
Hey, thank you, Tiffany, for that in Arkansas.
I appreciate that.
That's funny.
Hey, Jenna in Oklahoma, one more.
You're on.
You good this morning, Jenna?
Yeah, I'm good.
Yeah, what do you think?
What happened with you?
My son got on there and his Gigi's keegg broke on Christmas.
And the day after Christmas, he bought her a curag.
And he needed a new tablet, and he bought himself a tablet.
And it was a little over $500.
Oh, my goodness.
His grandma's got to be the grandma, right?
Yeah.
Well, listen, what a heart.
Yeah, that's so thoughtful of him, first of all.
Grandma's curing breaks, and where does he go?
He goes to buy her one.
So nice.
Yeah.
That's funny.
Did she get to keep it, or did you take it back?
No, we took it back.
He had already got one for Christmas, but he knew that she needed one, so he was going to get her one.
Good for him.
The best one, too.
Heck yeah.
All the best.
And all the cups.
He probably got her like a year supply of the coffee cups, too, Duncan Donut's coffee cups.
He had everything.
He said, gee, I bought you a new coffee maker.
I bought you some coffee to go with it.
And she said, we need to talk to your mom, and sure enough.
Well, thank you for that story.
Thanks for calling.
Appreciate you.
So Lunchbox mentors a kid.
He doesn't like to talk about it because he's always like, I'm tough.
I don't do nice things.
But he does.
Like, he mentors a kid.
How old is the kid?
He is in second grade.
Eight.
Yeah.
So you can tell him what happened.
So I was at mentoring the other day,
and I don't know if they're just learning about this whole 911 thing or whatever.
but we're walking by like the, I guess it's the information desk where a receptionist usually sits during the day and there's a telephone back there.
And he runs back there and dials 911 and he called and they answer and he's like, I just called to say what up.
And he hung up the phone.
Oh no.
What did you do, mentor?
Yeah, what did you do?
You probably told him to do it.
Exactly.
They all laugh.
They both laughed and ran away.
I'm just like, do it again, do it again.
No, I'm just like, you did not really just call it.
You did not really just call.
I'm like, oh, my goodness.
And they call right back.
I'm like, no, everything's good.
But then they had to send a cop up there.
Boy, yeah, you answered.
Everything's good.
It's okay.
An adult man answered.
No.
I know an eight-year-old just called, but it's all right.
I know I'm an adult man.
Unknown with an eight-year-old.
All good here.
I promise, I'm not dangerous.
I'm a good guy.
Trust me.
That's no teeth keys.
All good.
I had the best mentor, too.
He taught me everything
A no
Good thing you answer
That phone lunch
We'll be at the park
What is I supposed to do?
I mean
Oh man
So what?
So, oh,
I'm going to
Laugh and he calls 911
They call back
You answered
They say, is there a problem?
I said no
And I tried to explain
The situation
I'm the mentor
The situation
You okay
I said
Well look
I'm mentored this
After School program
And I'm the mentor
That's my mentee
and I guess they're learning about 911
and he just saw the phone and he called
and they're like,
and I'm like, everything's good and they're like, okay,
and they send a cop up there anyway just to make sure.
So when the cop arrives.
Oh, I didn't handle it after that.
That's when the head of the program has to deal with it.
I don't have to deal with that.
Like I was like,
did you mentor your kid and you afterward about that and what happens?
Well, I was just like, you can't do that.
Like, you're going to get in trouble.
He's like, no, no, they tell you to call 911.
And I was like, and so now he's suspended for a couple days.
Oh, no.
From what?
From the after school program.
Because you can't do that.
He got suspended?
Absolutely.
Can you go rogue mentoring?
No, no, I can't go rogue because they pick up on the school bus and everything and bring
the facility.
Amy brought up a great point that was totally laughed over because we're all laughing.
Lunchbox was mentoring a kid that got suspended on his watch.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, guys, you should have gotten suspended.
You can't bite me.
You're suspended.
I am not the one that picked on the phone who called 911.
You have to start putting that probably in your application to mentor.
Like, you're a permanent record.
Your mentee got suspended from mentor.
So tell us about your past experience.
Well, got a kid kicked out of mentee class.
That kid's like later in life like wherever so what he in for.
Well, it all started.
He's like, well, it all started back when I was in second grade.
And I had this mentor named Lunchbox.
Dang, dude.
Dang, dude.
Yeah.
Do you tell your kid about the gang you were in, little white criminals?
No, I haven't told him anything about that.
I'm trying to teach him, like, respect and how to respect others.
Keep your hands to yourself.
Keep your hands to yourself.
All right.
Treat others how you want to be treated, things like that.
You try to teach him that.
That's interesting.
You got to do, like in the second semester, we'll do smart goals where they come over the goal that's, you know, specific, measurable, attainable, and traceable.
What's your goal?
Oh, you forgot the R.
What's R?
He didn't do R.
You figured.
Reachable?
No, reachable.
Did you say it?
Yeah, I think I said reachable.
Okay.
Attain, no, because that's attainable.
I don't remember.
Do you remember the world?
No, it's something like that.
If you forget, just call 911.
I got all the answers.
That's funny, man.
Man, so happy you guys could spend even just a few minutes with us today.
Thank you so much.
Got to go.
Hopefully you guys will be around.
We'll be around.
I'm around all day, actually.
