Yeah. I think he was in high school then. It might be September 2nd, but dang it, we still finish this game. Who cares? All right, welcome, everybody. Let us open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag.

Yeah. Let's go. Hey, Bobby Bones. Now that we are back in the office, I've been bringing my lunch every day to save money. But at least twice a week, someone still some of the food from my bag. What?

This has been happening for weeks. I finally decided to do something about it. So yesterday, when I was making my burrito, I decided to go heavy on the hot sauce. Yes. Which is I like it anyway. But it's probably too spicy for normal taste buds. Sure enough, lunchtime comes.

I go to find my lunch. It's missing. About 20 minutes later, I hear coughing coming from an office. Got them. It's my boss's office. What? I mean... It wasn't a COVID cough.

It was definitely I ate something too hot cough. What do I do now? I didn't expect it was my boss stealing my food. Who can I complain to? Do you think this may have stopped him from stealing my lunch for good? Signed, Sean. Well, sometimes my grandma will give me three letters, and she would say you are S-O-L.

If it's your boss... Yeah, but that's not fair. No way, dude. Life isn't fair. Sometimes life ain't fair. What I would do, I would be strategic. about it and you think hot sauce is bad wait until you put some other stuff in there but you put it in there not not to eat it not poison guys oh so you're thinking brat poison to kill them wow eye drops but you no no no but you can make it extremely uncomfortable to eat to where he gets used

to after a few days going i'm not i don't want that that person everything they eat is too hot like you can stop it that way through pattern of of him not wanting to eat that anymore there's you don't complain you know to you get to HR so you just condition him to hate it you have to until you get a new boss or a new job. Because let's say you go to HR and they go to the boss. Be like, hey, you've been stealing food. He's going to know his food.

He's been stealing. And he may not do it outwardly, but he's probably going to have to take a little harder on you. It stinks. It's not fair. I would make your food really tough to eat. But I would have a secondary lunch and it stinks you have to do this.

I'd have a secondary lunch kind of hidden. Very interesting. What would you do, Amy? I don't know. It just makes me think of my friend Ross, who had a sandwich that got stolen at work. That's exactly what you do every single time. You're stealing my bit now. Ross is on friend.

But you can't say their name. What do I say? Teach me. What do I say? As soon as he said to Ross, we went, you know a friend named Ross? Must be talking about friends. Okay, so I say, oh, see, this happened to my friend once. And he had this sandwich in the fridge at work.

And his sandwich disappeared, and then he got really mad. And later he found out. It was one of his coworkers. and I think, did he punch him? I can't remember. You don't even know how that story ends. That's not a good. I know he was angry.

If it was a peer, it would be different. You could complain. If it's your boss, that stinks. You got to make him just not want your food anymore. Or you got to bring food in a different place. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Bring your own little cooler or something. Yeah.

So not the best news to share. Sometimes life ain't fair. But as long as you know that we care. Ooh, nice Ryan. Thank you very much. I can do a song to that. Right, there you go. Thank you.

That's a sad mailbag. Close it up. We got your email and we let it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Last week, we talked about how women like funny guys. And lunchbox was like, no, women like guys that have money. More than funny guys.

Yeah, money is more important than funny. Money makes them funny. No, I don't think that's true. I think it's like... Where do you fall on this? Me? Yeah. Because the thing was, we talked about how important human.

is and we said, hey, your husband's not that funny. He has other redeeming qualities that we don't have, like being awesome. But he's not funny. Right. So, yeah, so clearly I'm not, but he also didn't have money. So when I married him, when I married him, he was like a low-ranking officer in the Air Force. But how important is humor to you? I mean, I feel like it's important, but I would say I'm more the funnier one in the relationship.

Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't know. I do think that over time there's a side of him that people don't get to see and I know y'all don't believe me but he has this drier sense of humor that comes out.

He's just more of a quiet person. So he's not, it's not like he's just like totally not. I've spent time with him. I don't ever go L.O.L. Because you're not going to see it. He hasn't showed it to you. We've like been out playing golf for hours at a time.

And I like him and I'm like, I like this guy better every time. I don't know. I'm not even like, he would not even say that he's funny. I'm not like trying to defend that. I'm just saying there is a side. of him that can be funny.

Got it. But you're the funny one. You said it. Eddie, who's the funny one in your relationship? Me, 100%. I'm the clown, dude. I make everyone laughing my family. I used to think I would be in regardless of what relationship. I'm not. Not you. I get paid to be funny. I do stand-up. And I'm still not the funniest person of my family. Your wife is hilarious. She's the funniest person of it. She's quick, funnier than I ever have. It is awesome, though. Okay, here we go. Lunchbikes goes out on the streets.

says, hey, women, talk to them. How important is humor? Go. Money or funny? Hold on, stop the clip. I didn't know. She just says he's asking about humor. I didn't know it was money or funny.

That's pretty funny. Okay. Okay, go ahead. Money or funny? Well, is he hot and he's funny or is he hot and he's rich? Let's say he's hot and rich, but he's not funny. I don't know. If he can't throw some one-liners at me, I probably won't do it.

Isn't money more important than, being funny? You can be as rich as you want, but if you have poor personality, then no. I don't want to talk to the wall, my whole relationship. Okay. Yeah, I need funny. I like how he's trying to talk people into their answers. He's convincing him. He's not just out-polling people. He's like, no, no, no, no, no. Here's the second one. When you're dating a guy, is it important that he is funny? Absolutely. Let's say he's a multimillionaire, but he has no, he's not funny. still date him? No.

Why? Because I laugh all the time. I laugh about everything, even serious stuff sometimes. So yeah, money doesn't matter. I definitely have to have somebody that's going to be funny and laugh at my dumb jokes. What do you think about that? Man, I think people are embarrassed to admit that they like money.

Like, when it comes down to it, if they had a stack of money and a funny guy standing next to them, they'd go for the stack of money. But to make themselves look good, they say, Oh, humor's so important to me. So if there was a good luck and broke comedian. Yes. Or a stack of money with 50 grand.

They're going to go to the 50 grand. I just don't think so. Here's one more. How important is funny? Is it important that he's funny? Yeah. Okay, let's say that someone's super rich, like he's millionaire, but he's not funny.

Would you date him? No. No. Took me a minute, but no. So you thought about it? Yeah. Okay, what if he's a smoking? This is our Uber, though.

Oh, what if he's a smoking I'm not? 10 and he's a millionaire but not funny. I date him. So you would say, so. I give it up. So what you're saying is funny is important to a level, but once they're rich and hot, not really. Not really. Okay.

So what did you learn from this experiment? I learned that women will lie to your face because they don't want to admit they're all about the money. So what was your wife in it for? Me, good looking, famous. No, funny or money? Oh, probably money. Okay. But she doesn't get my money, so that's tricks on her.

So you think you have enough money to affect, especially when you met your wife? Yeah, I had a house. And you're cool with her liking you because you're famous? Yeah. But don't tell him he's famous. His words, his words, not mine. Yeah, I had a house, so she had somewhere to move into.

That's a pretty big deal. Shelter. Yeah, put a roof over her head. Got it. She had a place to live too. Did she have a house? She had a job. Oh, she was written.

She was renting. Yeah. No, I like the way he said it first. Renting. So you think because you had a house, you're so good looking and you had some level of notoriety. Absolutely. That's what got her. Yeah.

And you're okay with that. That's cool with me. I mean, it does a good job, doesn't it? I used my platform to get, you know, and that's what we're all here for. To get what? You know. No. What?

To get her. To get her. Get her. You feel like she used you. for that stuff. A little bit, yeah. I mean, she wanted to go from paying rent

to living in a house that is owned. Does she have to pay you rent? Yeah. Okay. She does. Well, she pays a part of the mortgage.

Because they don't share money. Right. Separate accounts. She still pays a part of the mortgage with her own money? Yeah. So,

again, I'm still confused. Was she with you for money or funny? Probably money. Okay. And fame. He's clarifying.

And fame. He always throws fame fame and like it was never an option. All right. Thank you. Love jokes. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan No. 2's 30 Second Skinny.

Keith Urban says that performing for fans is his biggest reward. Seeing people connect to the music is the absolute hands-down biggest reward for me, especially when you go to a place you've never been to before. And it's all these people. I mean, lots of people out there. You've never met a single one of them and they're singing to every word. And you realize that it's not just the pretty... melody and everything. They get the songs and it's amazing. Darius Rucker talked about the pizza

job he used to have as a teen. I was 15 and I worked at a pizza place and the guy decided at 15 that I could not only clean the floors and wash the dishes because I also had to make pizza. And so for two months they taught me how to make pizza. Carrie Underwood remembers her jobs at a gas station and a hotel. My first job was at a gas station. And that was a lot of fun actually and while I was working at the gas station I took on another job at a hotel down the street and there was nobody else working there I had one day of training and then the next day I came in and the lady that had worked there the longest and was training me just didn't show so on my second day of work I was now in charge I'm Morgan number two that's your skinning

it's time for the good news with Amy tell me something good Okay, so it's senior skip day, 1987, and Donald Brandel, he decided he was going to go to the beach and catch some waves. He lost his class ring that day, though, and he was like, well, I guess I'm never going to see that again. Well, here we are, all these years later, 34 years to be exact, and his ring has been found. So there's this guy, Clint Hayworth, he's a postal worker by day, but a... Let me guess, metal detector person by night. Yes. Yes.

Yeah. I was going to say metal detector. enthusiast on the weekends. And he recently found the ring and through some detective work. And after he cleaned it up and everything, he at least knew the school name, the year that there was a little surfer emblem on there and the initials, D-E-B. So he was able to track down, you know, Donald, the owner. And it's so cool he got his ring back.

And I find hope when I hear stories like this because I lost my Aggie ring in Southern Pines, North Carolina, like 2011. or so. You lost a lot of reins over there in Southern Pines. Yeah. Wedding ring. Yes. Class ring.

But this is when our house was broken into it. So I don't know if it was stolen. I think at least that's what I've told myself. It was stolen. Or maybe I just lost it somewhere when we were living in that house. But I'm hopeful that one day it's going to turn up. When you got your Aggie ring, what's the tradition of Texas A&M? You have to drink a big thing of beer with it?

Yeah, you dunk it in a beer. What does that mean? You dunk it. So you drop it in a pitcher of beer. You go to the Dixie Chicken or you could do it anywhere. people do it at their house, but the tradition is you go there, that's where we went. And I couldn't do a pitcher, so I did like a pint. I think it's smaller.

And I did it that way. But what do they do? I don't understand. You drop it in at the bottom and then you chug it. The whole pitcher. Yes. A beer. Yes.

And then you get the ring in your mouth and you... It's a terrible tradition. You can choke on the ring too. So you might get alcohol poisoning and then you might choke to death on a ring. You would love this. So for the non-drinkers, they would go get a huge ice cream Sunday and dunk their ring in ice cream and eat it all, and then boom, the ring would be there. I don't want anything in my mouth where the ring might choke me and I might die.

Yeah. I'll tell you what, I've seen a couple of these and what happens is they catch it with their teeth when they finish the beer, but then they throw up immediately. Yes, it's disgusting. I'm not a big tradition guy. I like if you continue something because it works. Wow. Right? Like, I don't think we continue anything simply because of tradition. I like continuing traditions if there's a good reason to do it. This is not something I can see being a good tradition. You don't like the Dunkin? Sounds terrible.

You would not like Texas A&M. then because that's like every single thing is tradition, tradition, tradition. Let me say this to all our listeners in College Station. First of all, I'm sure you're great people. Yes. But I hope to beat the crap out of you in football this year. You're right. I hope Arkansas beats the crap out of you.

But they're really good this year. All right, Amy, is that it? Yeah. All right, there you go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be supported by Grand Canyon University, an affordable, private, non-profit Christian University

once with a bunch of TikTok people, right? I did. Yeah. And then you had, I think, like, 80 or 90,000 TikTok followers. Now you have over 200,000. What are you doing on TikTok that's working so well, do you think? Honestly, just putting out covers of songs that I love, it's been really cool because it's like hitting almost like a new vein of people that I never thought I would. All of like the old school emo kids like me.

So, I mean, I don't know, just putting out songs that I love and I don't know. It's been taken off, I guess. We play you a lot and I'll put you on the Women of Our Heart Country, the national show that we do. And you get such a great response. Oh, thank you. And you have this song that we've put in called Like the Movies. which is your song. It's mine, yeah.

Yeah, did you write that one? I did. So tell me about that. You walk into the room, and who do you write it with, and what's kind of the idea behind it? I actually wrote that one by myself. Wow.

Yeah, so I was sitting in my living room. It was like mid-COVID and just kind of reflecting on a lot of past situations, relationships in my life and just things that have happened. I talk about the first first my dad passed away when I was really young and kind of seeing my mom go through situations from when I was young to growing up in relationships. And I was like, you know, this is kind of a cool concept that I don't think I've ever really touched on.

And I had never really told a bunch of people that I had been in that situation. So just kind of sat there with myself and was like, I'm going to write a song and wrote the chorus, thought it was really cool, took it to my producer, Andrew. And we just kind of, we finished it up. and now it's like the movies and you guys play it which is really awesome I know you have your guitar with you would you mind playing us

some of like the movies yeah of course Taylor Acorn is here as she prepares herself follow her on Instagram at Taylor Acorn music and she has a different TikTok name which messes me up here

at Taylor Acorn 1 but here is Like the Movies from Taylor Acorn Wish I knew when I was 8 that The Princeton always stayed

Not to believe everything I'd see on the television Because after my dad died Even though she never let her see a cry My mom was broken aside Because she just lost her best friend Why don't they prepare you for that When the picture perfect life you had goes black

Like the movies You can't save it with a lot song. It ain't one big happy ending when you wake up and it's so gone. When no one comes to save you, you learn to save yourself. The world, it just keeps going on while you're going through. No, it's not. It's good out to be. Love ain't like the movies. Taylor Acorn

That's so good Thank you And it is such The perspective is so true And so many people can appreciate that honestly Thank you Taylor will be out with us On Saturday and Sunday

And come and watch her perform Because as you can hear She is so good You can follow her on Instagram or TikTok I do have some of your TikTok clips Because you do what's called emo countries So you're a country artist But you also do emo songs

Like from back in the day Which is fun Here is a clip. Here is a clip of her doing Gougu Doll's Iris. And I don't want the world to see me because I don't think that they'd understand. I would stream this as this. This is such a good version of it.

I think the first song I ever played of Taylor's was a cover, a Matchbox 20 cover. Yeah, it was unwell. Yeah, I'm not crazy. I'm just a little unwell. And I played that on the female shows. I guess I've like secretly even to myself, been a massive Taylor Acorn fan for a long time.

Who knew? Here is Unwell. This is Taylor's Matchbox 20 cover. Did you get made fun of as a kid for the last name, Acorn? I mean, not really made fun of as a kid for the last name, Acorn. I mean, not really made fun of. more so people would be like, oh, you're a nut. Or like, I ran track in college, and my coach would always say Taylor Squirrel.

I don't know why. He thought it was so funny. But I would get little things like that or Taylor Walnut, you know, everybody. I mean, I guess it's hard to make fun of the name, Acorn. Yeah. It's kind of cool. It's like, I love that. Thank you.

Cairn Spice countertop spray. Well, my best friend growing up was named Michael Pinecone. And he always, I'm just kidding. It wasn't. Stop. I was going to say you never know. Listen, Taylor, I'm a massive fan. So thank you for performing for us.

And then thank you for coming out this weekend. And people can come out to New Bronfels between Austin and San Antonio and watch Taylor perform on Saturday and then on Sunday at Bobby Fest in Wichita, Kansas. And so I think we're going to have you up on one of the nights, too. Did you know that? We already talked to you about that? I think they did mention it. On the big stage? We'll leave it there.

Yeah. I've been trying to process. Well, we can't wait to see it perform live. you guys come out to Bobby Fest or go follow Taylor Acorn or stream her music. Here's the voicemail we got last night. Hey, studio. I have a question for Eddie. I was wondering what the update on his diet was.

I know he was doing the Matthew McConaughey diet where he lost a bunch of weight and then the wedding happened. So I was wondering if Eddie was still doing that. So what's your update? Let us know. Bye. Give it to us, big boy? Nah, I just know what.

I mean, I'm back. I'm back to the way I was. I think the diet was a thing for, what did I do for like two months? or something, I've probably gained all that weight back. But by the time your wedding came around, I was at the exact weight that I needed to be for that suit to fit. So I'm glad I made that deadline. But now you own the suit and you can't wear the suit anymore. I'll go back to it at some point.

I thought about doing that. Just let the suit out. No, really? Just let the suit out. Go back to that diet, man. I mean, I always want to start a diet like that and then just change my lifestyle, but it never happened. How much did you lose in total?

20 pounds? How much did you gain back? 20 pounds? There you go. Voice mail number two. Morning studio. I'm a teacher. Getting ready to go back to the classroom for the first time in about a year and a half after last year.

And I got a little bit of the case of the yips, the twisties. Been out of it for so long. Been a bit since I did it. A little nervous. Could use any advice. Thanks. Yeah, here's my advice about the yps. I get them too sometimes doing different things.

Performing, playing golf. The yips would be, Amy, like, okay, you know the twisties whenever Simone Biles was like, I get the twisties. I'm upside down. I don't know. Yes. Or it's like you're, nothing feels natural. So you're no confidence.

So everything you're doing feels out of whack. The way to get rid of the yips is just keep on yipping. Keep on yippin. Keep on, take a break and then keep on yippin. Keep on swinging. Keep on getting on stage. That's how to fix that. Now, if you're Simone Biles, I ain't telling you what to do because you are a world-class champion.

And you can break your neck if you were upside. But as a teacher, you're going to be fine. Just get in, get your feet wet, then get up to your knees. Next thing you know, you're all the way in doing bad. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, we get that here, man, reading, you know, doing different stories and playing games. Oh, yeah. When I do tell me something good, I get yips.

Get a little nervous? Yeah, sometimes. Yeah. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So scientists are working on a wireless charging room that could deliver electricity through the air to any laptop, tablet, or phone without the need of, like, a cable or plugging anything in. It sounds risky.

Wow. I know. I just feel like, oh. Sounds like a cancer room. It does. And I wonder if people who don't want the vaccine are going to get in this room. Good point. I don't know that I go stand in the room.

Do you just kind of toss your phone in and back away? You have to put on one of those X-ray jackets? Yeah, it's like I might as well just plug something into the wall. But researchers say we're many years away from this being available to the public. But they have tested it out in a 10-by-10 room and things in there are just charging with the air. I mean, you think about radio waves right now. Like, you don't see them? Oh, we're covering in waves.

We have no idea. Is that nuts? Are we dying earlier because of it? Maybe. We don't know. But there were no radio waves in microwave for caveman. They died at 12. That's true, too.

But we may have the different tumors or whatnot that maybe they didn't live long enough to get. Who knows? Okay, so Lauren Elena, she put out a new album, sitting pretty actually, it drops tomorrow. And she said that writing it helped ease the depression that she felt during the pandemic. The title track is. is a song called On Top of the World.

And I wrote it about my struggles with depression. I was sad, and then I was mad that I was sad. And the only thing that I know to do with those emotions is right about them. I was talking with Lauren at the Grand Ole Opry last week, and we're doing a 9-11 special on Circle Network. And they were like, hey, talk to Lauren and get her thoughts. And I said, hey, Lauren, like 9-11, when it happened, and she was like, yeah, I was six years old.

I was like, dang. Crazy. Crazy. She was like, I don't only remember. I remember my dad being sad. But it's crazy that Lauren, I remember. I was in college. Right.

But like real life adults now don't really have like a pure recollection of 9-11. Well, good for her. Yeah, she said she's working on getting out on the road right now. She was supposed to be on tour with Florida Georgia Line, but they canceled their tour. She said she found out about two hours before the news went public and is definitely upsetting. But they're working on a plan to get out there. Not only upsetting, but like that was her living. That's how she's going to make their money.

Right. And I feel like too, then other people already booked up. It's, you know, like her finding maybe someone else to hop on the road with. They're like, oh, we thought you were already on the road with them. So anyway, Ford Broncos, they're like, they've been taken offline for a reservation. The new ones are so popular that they've had to take them off. They don't have any available. Plus there's this semiconductor chip shortage. That's what we're dealing with a lot of cars.

but if you wanted one of the new ones, you might have to wait like a really long time. And it just makes me think of your old Bronco, and I don't know the update on that. The opposite of the new one. Yeah, and it's old. But they look. Early 70s, and it's one of the old,

for me it's like my favorite body style. We waited forever to find it, and then someone hit it. And it's been a mess. We have filed for insurance, but the problem is it's kind of an art car, or whatever they call it, because the parts itself aren't worth the whole lot,

but that old style was really cool. And so we're like, it's worth this much. It's very desirable. And they're like, nope, and ain't. We're only going to give you this much insurance for it. So we're in the middle of that right now. I don't know. I feel special, like, bond with Broncos because that was my first car.

And so I was like, oh, anytime I see one of the new ones, I'm like, they look cool. They do look cool. But nobody can really get their hands on one. So I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay home there's something good.

An off-duty cop and can. California is driving home from the movies. You know, yeah, he went to a movie theater. Crazy to think. And Gilbert Trochet sees a hysterical mother on the side of the road holding her baby. He pulls over and she's like, he's not breathing. My baby's not breathing. And the officer grabs the baby.

Start, boom, boom, boom. Pounding on the back, sweeps the mouth. Two minutes later, baby's back. Ah, ah, ah. Saved a life. There was a lot in that story. Yeah. Let me acknowledge first by saying, love that police officer was able to do that.

trained, stayed calm and collected, A-plus story. That's what it's all about, but I don't want to jump out quite yet. Okay. Number one, there was social commentary on him going to a movie. Interesting. At the very beginning of this. Setting the scene, I guess. Well, he goes with that that's what you want to do. What did you say?

I said, isn't that crazy? He actually went to a movie. Because there's someone on the show that says movie theaters are dead. Oh, no, no. I thought you were talking COVID-wise. Oh, no, I just thought he was cool he went to the movies. What I said was, probably three or four years ago, in 10 years, movie theaters will be nothing like they are now.

basically be dead. And it's already happening. I feel like you said that more than three years ago, and I think you said five years. No, 10. It was always 10. Five years is way too quick. Every time he says it, it's 10 years. But yes. But I still feel, look at it now. I know. Almost every movie that I want to see now, I can watch on my TV. Correct. Yeah, I mean, Mike D. On his birthday, we rented out a whole theater for 50 bucks or something. Like it was like, no, they gave us 50 bucks to watch a movie. Come watch it, especially because it's Fast and Furious and I and awful. Okay, that was the first part.

And then I did hear you use the word hysterical, which is a great word to use for that. But when I hear hysterical, I think somebody's laughing so hard on the side of the road. Oh. Like hysterical. Did you anybody... I didn't catch that. It says when he saw an hysterical mother on the side of the road.

And to me, that makes sense. But I didn't think that would be a word you would use. Yeah, I was just like, well, they used it. So I was like, man, I got to set the scene. If she's going hysterical, I got to let them know. She's going hysterical. Okay. What would I say?

Losing her mind? Going crazy? No, it's worried. No, no. You said it right. Freaking out. Just really not a word that I would expect from you. Yeah.

Except when you're talking about my humor. You're hysteric. All right. Okay. Thank you. But shout out Officer Gilbert Troche or Truch. I don't know how he says his name. That's what's all about right there.

Good morning. Good morning, studio. Morning. So, um, I'm getting married on Sunday, and I'm, Super, super, super, super sad I have to miss Bobby Fest. Oh, are you in Kansas? Wichita, Kansas, that's right. Yeah, which is.

Can you not move the wedding? Should be easy. I mean, just move it a few days, moving a week, you know? No. No. Straight up, no. Oh, hey, well, congratulations. That's pretty cool.

I'm glad you guys are getting married. I hate that you have to miss Bobby Fest on Sunday. But you know what? I'm sure we'll be back in Wichita sometime soon. I mean, hopefully. Do you have a favorite... I thought back in, like, 2013. Do you have a favorite raging idiot song?

I know. There's a lot of them. A lot of massive hits to choose from. I mean, Chick-fil-A, but it's Sunday. It's a good one. That's an old-school one. It is old-school, but I do love that one. Okay, well, I'll tell you what, since you can't be there.

I'll play it for you in a second, okay? Deal. I'm good. Congratulations. Talk to you soon, hopefully. Thank you. All right, bye-bye. All right, let's do the investigative morning corny with Amy.

The Morning Corny! What do you call an alligator with a law degree? We have 90 seconds to figure it out. An alligator with a law degree. Jaw. Teeth. Alligator, gator, gator. Litigator. Is that what it is? Litigator.

Litigator. Litigation. A litigator. No, you're right. It has to be gay litigate. Amy's so mad. She just grabbed her phone and checked out a bit. Oh, okay, good. So we must have nailed it in like five seconds. What's the joke again? Just to make sure

It's setter. What do you call an alligator with the law degree? A litigator. Why are you so upset? I'm looking for another one in case you make me do another one because this is so easy. How about we just were good?

It wasn't easy. People don't get mad at Tom Brady when you went seven Super Bowl. Some people do. But they don't go. You know what? Let's make the game harder. There we go.

Yeah, good point. All right. Don't me down on yourself. Cool. Throw another one at us real quick then. Cool, cool. Oh, bones. This might be a little too much.

Okay, never mind. We win! Yeah! I do the joke. Here we go. The morning corny. What do you call an alligator with a law degree? What do you call an alligator with a law degree?

A litigator. Nice job. Nice job, ready. Here we go. Here we rise. Full hearts can't lose. These scam emails and text messages and phone calls, they're getting so good. So good.

It's so hard. not to fall for them. Yeah. Like there's some, I'm, if I, we didn't talk about them all the time and I wasn't so aware, I might actually fall for them.

So I know there's probably older people, like they are definitely falling for them. Like I got an email that was so good. I couldn't believe it. Well, and I would also go in domer people, but then I almost fall for them too. So I'm one of the dumber people now. That's what I mean.

Yeah. They're so good. And I would go like, oh, man, it must only be I'd that are falling. But I, I've almost got Instagram hacked a few times. I've clicked links. Amy handed me, this is, can I read this email?

gave me or do you have it over there? Yeah, I have it. Go ahead. Read it. Yeah, I have it. And I'm telling y'all, there's no typos. Sometimes those will give it away, things like that. And they even say, hey, valued customer. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Like, hey, hey, valued customer. And it's from PayPal, quote, in air quotes, PayPal, telling me that my purchase for my Apple MacBook Pro for $1,300 just went through. The payment was successful. And then it gives like a billing ID, all these fancy numbers. And then it says, if you're unaware about this purchase, contact us as as soon as possible about this transaction. You feel like somebody just bought it on your account?

I'm like, oh my goodness, I didn't just buy a MacBook Pro. So clearly I need to call PayPal and say, hey, this wasn't me. But the thing is, when you call the number they provide, they're going to be like, okay, we'll take care of this. Give us all your info, and we'll make sure that you get your money back. And then you give all your info, and then boom, they hack you. It was so well done. Or they just spend the money.

Maybe not hack you. You give them your credit card and they just spend your credit card. Yeah, yeah, you're hacked somehow. Yeah, yeah. You're scammed. You're hacked. you let them in to your life because they have convinced you that you were scammed and then they scam you. Well, what stinks is yesterday I got a text from Walgreens going, your prescription is filled.

And I went, I ain't clicking that. And it really was. Oh, I didn't know. You needed the medicine. Now, here I want my deathbed. Right. Because scammers. Or like the time that the company was trying to give everyone in the company a $100 gift card.

And none of us wanted to click on it because he thought it was a scam. It turns out it really was a thought of gift. I know. See, I get good ones all the time, but they call me Kelly. And I'm thinking, well, it's close to Eddie. So sometimes I'm like, well, Kelly. That's not close to Eddie. Over in Mobile, Alabama, Jeff is on the phone.

Hey, Jeff, thanks for calling. What's going on? Hey, morning, studio. Morning. Morning. What can we do for you? Yeah, I was calling because I got an old country song that I love called about Jeff Carson called The Car. It's kind of an emotional song for me.

because me and my dad, we've always had a connection with cars, and that song always brings up emotions for me. And I just wondered if there was a song for you guys that was real emotional for y'all that brought up, you know, just stuff either with your family or, you know, brothers or sisters or friends or whatever the case may be. That's a good question. Just, you know, kind of an around the room question. Yeah, when you ask that, mine doesn't go to a sad emotion.

Like I think of swinging from John Anderson from back in the day. Oh, yeah. And we had an old cassette tape. And this is when I was living with my grandma, because my grandma adopted me for a while. And she would play swinging. And it all the time. It was like she had it on repeat on streaming service.

But it was a cassette tape, but she'd rewind it. And it was, so if I hear this song, which they don't play it really on the radio or at Kroger over the top. but I do love swinging and my mom was a massive Judd's fan because my mom could actually sing a little bit I did not inherit that gene

but she loved the Judds and so anytime it's like Grandpa tell I'm about the good old day I'm just like that reminds me of my mom and so that would be my grandmother

that would be my mom if I hear dead air reminds me my real dad oh my gosh That was a good one. That was a good guys. He's been nailing the dad jokes lately. Because he was never there. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And then just the most, the saddest song for me that it's not so much of me being in a relationship with a family member, but it's just so sad. Cowgirls don't cry from Brooks and Dun & Reba. Maybe it's because it's her relationship with her dad and I didn't have a dad. Like if you get deep down into the therapy part. of it? Maybe. Because, you know, she falls off the horse and he's like, hey, cowgirls don't cry. Get back up there.

And then there's an issue in life. He's like, hey, cowgirls don't cry. And at the end, Reba sings her part. You know, he's dying. And he's like, hey, that's okay, but cowgirls don't cry. And you're like, oh, my, I mean, that song hits me hard. Yeah, well, that song takes you on a journey for sure. So as you asked that on the spot, and I didn't know what you're going to ask,

those are the songs to me that would make me, well, if I listen to all three, at the same time. I mean coming into work today. That's over. That playlist ain't getting made. So that would be me, Jeff. That's a good question. Amy, do you have one? Yeah, I mean, it's my favorite song, Amarillo by morning. I feel like I feel all the feels now. It used to

only be happy for me, but since losing my dad, now it's a little bit more emotional and sad, but it's still such a special song that I kind of thought after I lost my dad, because the song came on while we had taken him off life support. And that song, he took his last breath. Like,

right when that song ended. So it brings up certain emotions now, and I thought, oh, great, I've just ruined my favorite song ever. But now that some time has passed, I feel all the emotions and the happiness, too, and I picture myself dancing to that song with my dad, and it makes me happy again. That's good, because when Ray turned it up right when you were talking about your dad,

I was like, oh boy. I know. It could be bad. I felt it. I thought maybe at the very beginning when she started, but he didn't know what she was going to say, right? We're just flying by the seat of our pants here. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, and right when I heard the song hit, it's weird. You feel it in your body. You feel it come up and I felt it. And I'm going to get through this without getting emotional. Especially because I'm leaving you right now. Eddie. Still is happy. Eddie.

Well, it's crazy because my dad and I love music so much, but my dad doesn't like music and he never listened to music. But there was this one road trip we took and it was to West Texas. And my dad played Glenn Campbell, rhinestone cowboy, over and over. And so it always reminds me of my family being in a good place and going on a trip. And so now crazy, crazy. my son, like a couple months ago, he's like, Dad, you ever heard Glenn Campbell,

Rhinstone Cowboy? It's such a good song. I'm like, what? Like, that is the song that takes me back to my childhood, and now I get to listen to my kid. I love it. I just got chills hearing this. And I don't think every emotion has to be sad. No. Because some of mine weren't. Hey, Jeff, we appreciate that call, man. You know, I think all of us are kind of a little bit in our feelings right now talking about those songs that meant something to us. So thank you.

Yeah, no problem, man. Hope you have a good day and, you know, always appreciate you listening and for calling the show. Yeah, have a good one. All right, see you later. Let's play the feud. The best candy bars in America. There are 10 answers on the board. And it can have stuff in them, as Amy asked.

It's not. What do you mean? Because it's a cup. What do you mean? Reese's cups. Rees's cups, they come in a sleeve, but it's not like a bar. But it's with all the candy bars. So I'm struggling there, but I'm just going to throw out a favorite. Take five.

So you went all the way. down Reese's and then just threw out something random. Yeah, because Take 5. Because Take 5 made partnered with Reese. Hey, Ray, show me a candy bar I've never heard of. No. You are missing. If anything, I thought that would be the 10, number 10, and I'd get 10 points.

Because it's so good. Never heard of it. We're giving you a hard time, but that's a terrible guess. All right. It is not. I'm just kidding. They're all good. Oh, now I have tons in my head.

Amy, you push it. What? Is there a Mars bar? I'm not saying that it's like a bars are made. I just can't picture it. Bars are made by Mars. Every year you get a Mars bar. Oh, I see it here on the screen.

Yeah Okay let me tell you what I have written down bones Start with The one in the silver package Give me three musketeers Show me three musketeers What? Number eight

Eight points. Wow, I never had that. I'm always confused on that one because I kind of like it, but I never like it enough to buy it. Exactly. Like Halloween's great because they throw it in there. Like a mini one? Okay. Give me, ooh, that one just came up in my mind.

But give me a Milky Way. I think that's the one lunchbox really wanted to say. Give me Milky Way. At number nine. So I have nine points. And you've taken the lead, Eddie. Oh my gosh. This is where it gets hard.

But it just came to me. The Nessaly crunch. Oh, that is a good one. Come on. That's a good candy bar. Show me Nestle Crunch. Correct. Okay, now I'm in trouble.

That was worth seven. Amy, you can still win it, but Eddie, you got control here. There are two left. Actually, what am I thinking? I wrote a jingle for him. A kind of jingle for it. Give me whatcha McCallit. Show me what you may call it.

No, golly, no. Amy, we go around one more time. You can still win the thing. I know, but. What in the world is left? There are two answers on the board. One is the number 10 answer that can win it for you. One's the number two answer.

Well, I'm just going to, America is a little confused, and they're going to consider it a bar, Reese's. Show me Reese's peanut butter cups? Sure. Number two. Oh, I thought you took that one. No, I didn't. I didn't.

I went take five. Okay, so then. She went, Reese's for like three minutes, and then went, Smarties. I like Smarties. You know, take five is so good. I'm going to get you one. You're going to try it.

Amy, there's one left. If you get this one, you win the competition. So I'm thinking like 100 grand. People like that. Or with a Babe Ruth, baby Ruth? Is it Baby Ruth or Babe Ruth? The peanut bar, you know? Oh, which is it?

Is it none of them? Okay. Well, I'm going to go with, I don't know any more chocolate bars, Bobby. It's weird when you say my name like that. Bobby. Bobby. I need it to answer in five seconds. You're going to need an answer in five seconds.

He just said that. She's just repeating it to stall time. I don't know. And your answer? 100 grand. 100 grand. A solid guess. Show me 100 grand.

Incorrect. Lunch box. Okay. So it has to be chocolate, right? You're saying chocolate. Chocolate bars. So payday cannot be on there because that is not chocolate. That is peanut butter and peanuts.

Oh, good point. answer for the 10 spot is, I mean, you know, we pimp joy, but when you go to the grocery store, you get an almond joy. Wow, that's good. I forgot about that one. If you get the 10 spot, not enough to win, but it'll be a valiant effort. Yeah, it's a valiant effort. Any chance that there's almond joy.

Final score, Eddie 24, Amy 18, lunchbox 13. You are a winner, Eddie. Nice job. Chuckle's our winner. Yeah. But it's rare that you guys get all of them. That's pretty cool. Almond joys are awful.

They're the worse. Milky way, that's one of coconut. All right, that's what's up. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Yeah, home there's something good. Anthony is a teenager in Canada,

and he practices his basketball skills about four hours a day in the driveway. Dribble, dribble, dribble, but he doesn't have a hoop. He uses like a tree in some of the leaves or whatever as a net. He kind of targets it and be like, all right, that's my hoop or whatever. So some of the neighbors saw this,

and they said, you know what, we have to help this guy and get this guy at basketball hoops. So the neighbor, Ian Ray, he got all the neighborhood together and put a Facebook post up. And so we need to help him out. They ended up raising $750 to get him a hoop and some more basketball equipment. But the coolest part is that LeBron James saw this post.

And he said, community is amazing. Nobody can fulfill their dreams alone. Anthony, keep working, kid. You have another fan right here. The king. So he didn't even say, he didn't do it. anything. He just made a comment. He just commented. But still, LeBron said,

dude, you can do this. I thought you were going to say LeBron showed up at his house and played with him, but LeBron just commented. He still might. LeBron listens every morning to our show. Maybe you go over here to this, yeah. Really? Yeah. What's up, LeBron? Do you guys have neighborhood Facebook pages?

I don't thought. No. No, mine doesn't. I do, and I know why I do is because I was playing basketball with my kids in my front yard, and a lady came by. He said, oh, can I take a picture for our Facebook page? I said, Absolutely not. Thank you. Because your neighborhood has one.

You know what I get on, though? I get on the Facebook for sale stuff. All the time I look through stuff. Facebook Marketplace? Yeah. Yeah. I sell stuff on it. You do?

Yeah. I never bought anything. Like, why do you look at me weird like that? It's like furniture and rugs and stuff, not services. I'm going to be honest with you. I never thought about services, Amy. Where your mind goes, I have no idea. Because you looked at me like I was.

I didn't know. You were just like, wow, you used Facebook Marketplace. Yeah, I have sold things on it. I didn't think you were given quote-unquote massages on there. Cleaning houses. Listen, I don't know. No, your face was weird. Okay.

My face was born this way. Oh, I know, that's right. There you go. Great story. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

You're welcome to jump in a conversation. 877-77 Bobby. Let's go over and do the news. Bobby's Big. Stories. When people try to hire hit men or hit men. Or hit women. It's never women, though.

Never women. I don't know that I've ever seen a hit woman story. True. Not saying it couldn't be. Trust me. I know. But it seems to be most dudes. But there's a doctor in Connecticut who,

has been accused of distributing fraudulent opioid prescriptions. So the doctor's in trouble. Now there's an obstruction charge looming after a murder-for-hire plot. It's been alleged that the doctor attempted to seek the services of a hitman that was recruited through the hell's angels. Oh, wow. Oh, that sounds legit. So the doctor's in trouble for opioids. Yeah.

And now he's in trouble for hiring a hitman. All this is alleged. I'm just saying that in case the doctor's listening. It wants to be litigious. It turns out the brother of the president of the Hells Angels really ended up being an FBI informant. Oh my. Nice.

Ooh, I wonder when they... I just wonder if there's even bad people anymore or if they're all informants. Oh, they're still out there. They're bad. I don't know because every bad guy they're trying to hire and sell, oh, got you. You work for the CIA.

Actually, I have no comment now in case some of them are listening. But I listen to a podcast about them. This is comment, for the record. Amy's like, I have no comment. But I'm just warning you. This is comment. Well, I'm just saying it's very real. And I'm wondering when they flipped the brother or whoever that was, the brother than the president.

Maybe he never was. Maybe the president had something on and so they faked a brother. True. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, this is why we don't do a podcast about murder or law. But it's very real. A Kansas woman won a $20,000 lottery prize from a ticket that she got as a birthday gift from her office.

Oh. Her name is Marcia Silver. Oh, man. She told Kansas lottery officials, she received a pair of $2 bonus crossword scratch-offs in a birthday card from coworkers at her realty office. So they all got together, signed a little deal, put them in there. She thought she won $2,000 and, you know, basically crapped her pants because that's crazy to win $2,000. But then she showed her to her husband, he's like, no, you missed a letter.

And so an L popped up. That was 10 words in the crosswords, so she won $20,000. Wow. So like do you give your co-workers a little something? No. If it's $2 million, you probably take them to a nice dinner or something. That's it. About $20,000?

Because you're probably going to get about $13,000 of that. And although that's a lot, but that's 30. You could probably buy them a nice little gift, but I don't think you give them $5,000. Okay, yeah. But they got a gift for you. That's the thing. They got you. This was your gift.

They knew the risk. When do we get gifts and break off a piece of art gifts that you got me and give it back to you? When your gift wins something? Well, Eddie doesn't go here, man. I got you this new shirt. I don't take scissors and cut off part of the collar or go, but I want to give this back to you, brother. Or can I borrow it on Friday? But you do do that.

Well, that's what you do. You do that. So who would expect to get some back? I don't expect, but I just want y'all to know I would give you some thing back. But a nice meal or something. Like, yeah, I don't know. It's to see how much I win. Not cash money.

$20,000. Let's do what's throw in here. Okay, $20,000? Yeah, I give you each $100. Okay, that makes sense. That makes sense. Thank you. Because again, you're not getting 20,000.

Probably getting about 13. I love when you tell me I'm rational. Yeah, me too. I love when you're rational. Researchers from the University of South Florida may have figured out how to control food cravings. Their study suggests the longer you spend smelling the food you're craving, the less you actually crave it. They found smelling the scent of the food for two minutes is enough to do the trick. I get sugar cravings so bad at night.

I love sugar. I can't get enough of it. I eat sugar all day. sugar all night. Sugar made me feel good. Sugar made me feel right. I just can't get enough sugar. Like, I don't have a sweet tooth. I have a sweet head. Oh, wow. Just love it. And it stinks

because I think it's what's really rocking my IBS at this point. And so, if I just smell something, it doesn't work. You know what else doesn't work? If I just put in my mouth and chew it and spit it out. Oh, that doesn't work. No, no. No, but how come, I ask you a question? How come me swallowing it is the game changing? Yeah, that makes no sense. Because swallowing

it does nothing but going to my stomach. If I chew it, yum, yum, get all the taste. numb, num, num, and then spit it out. Maybe that should do the job. I think maybe mentally, because you know you've just restricted yourself. Nope, I'll get all the taste out of it. It's like gum. I can do it with gum.

Chew, taste it's all gone. Spit it out. Yeah. Well, gum and food are very different. But, yeah, I mean, food can be very satisfying. So, yeah, eating it gives you something different than just chewing on it. I wish it didn't, though. I guess that's my point.

I wish there would have been a chewable food that you could spit out like gum. Yeah. They just taste good. That's all. I did that with a cookie the other day. You're right. It does nothing. I've tried it many times.

It does nothing. I ended up eating four cookies after that. They got you with the old trick. Is your taste and smell back? I mean, I never lost my taste, but my smell, no. It just is what it is. I probably 80% of my smell now, but that's it. Morgan, can we talk about you?

Yeah, we can. I didn't know if we were supposed to or not because she hasn't said anything yet, but I'm not saying it. You can say it. I had COVID. Thank you. Morgan had COVID. What happened with your taste and smell?

I don't have any of my smell. It's all gone. Whoa. And I have about 30% of my taste. So I can taste like random things, but not everything. Wild. Is it freaking you out in your brain that you can't taste and smell? Yes.

I was like on the phone with my sister. I hadn't really started feeling like sick yet. And she was like, well, did you lose like your taste and smell? And I was like, no, I don't think so. And then I just started smelling everything. And I was like, I did. It's gone. And I can't smell like perfume.

I could have smelled yoderm. I was like literally smelling everything in the house. I smelled detergent trying to smell something. And nothing came through. It's a crazy feeling, man. I would think that it would mess with my brain because I'm like, my whole life, I've tasted and smell, don't a sudden you can't. And then I would worry, am I ever going to get it back?

Eddie doesn't have all his back. And it's been, I mean, you got COVID in 84. July. of last year. Close. I thought that was 84. But it's crazy when you spray

like a whole spray a cologne in your nose and you don't smell any of it. It's a wild feeling. Yeah, I have to like ask my boyfriend I'm like, hey, do I smell

because I don't know. That's true. You can't even smell your own arm and put your butt. I didn't even think about that. Normally you can't smell the other thing either, right?

The butt? Sometimes. You can smell it. Depends how many times. How many days have gone by without a shower? Okay. Well, I, Morgan, I'm so sorry.

That's crazy. Now, food world. She's loves food. She's like, listen, all you have to do is mix mustard, wasabi, and put a little thousand island in there and it tastes... She's useless to food world right now.

Wow. All right, well, update us on if it comes back. I will. I don't have a lot of confidence that it's going to, but... You said if? Wow. I wonder if Kirk Herb Street has his back. Remember, he lost it all? I don't think he does. And we've talked to people that come in here that say that they've got it and they, like last month or their wife and

last year and they don't have it back. There's got to be a way for us to talk to Kirk Herb Street. He lives right down the road. He's supposedly a nice guy. Who's that? He does college game day. Blondehered guy, good-looking dude, play quarterback at Ohio State. He's a commentator now.

I'm sure I would recognize him if I saw him. For sure. Come on, Herbie. Give us a call. I know he's got a book out too. Oh, well, then come on. That's what I'm saying. Okay, thank you. Close it up.

That's the news. We've got a few calls I'm going to take. Why don't we go talk to Megan in Arkansas, who has been waiting patiently on hold. Hello, Megan. Good morning. Good morning, Bobby. Good morning, studio. Morning. How are you guys? We're good.

We're good. That's it's talking to you. Yeah, it's your turn. Go ahead. We are huge fans. I'm here with my daughter, Peyton. Hi, Peyton. And, Peyton, can you say hi? Hi. So I wanted to be able to be on with you guys and tell her. a surprise that I have gotten her for this weekend right before she starts her first day of third grade.

Oh, can I tell her? Yes. Okay. Can I be on speaker? Yes, you are speaker. Hey, Peyton, so your mom, who is totally awesome, got you VIP tickets to Bobby Fest this weekend. So you're going to take a little trip up to Wichita, Kansas, and you're going to be a VIP, and you're going to watch the show, and it's going to be totally awesome.

How you feel about that? Amazing. talking about. Amazing. Yes. Peyton, I cannot wait to see your face, and I can't wait for you to come up and hear so much good music and have so much fun, okay? She is so excited. This is her first concert, and she is a huge fan of you guys, and we listen every morning from like 5 to 7.30 until we have to open the school, and we never miss you guys, so. Thank you very much, and we cannot wait to see you. We'll see you in Wichita, Kansas on Sunday, right? Yes. Okay, bye, Peyton. Happy day.

I guess this is the day. Happy and raging idiots day. Have a good day. You too. Bye. Bye. I mean, that's cool because, like, for the rest of her life, someone's going to say, what was your first concert? And she's going to say, The Raging Idiot.

That's cool. Can I just do some? Just bear with me for a second, okay, everybody? Sure. I want to go over and talk to Maya in St. Louis. I just want to show you the odd reach we have. Okay. Maya, how are you in St. Louis today?

Well, I'm actually in Springfield, but it was close. Okay. Well, Springfield. I'd had St. Louis on my screen, but Springfield, we had St. we love equally. Maya, what's going on in Springfield? So not a whole lot is going on here, but on Sunday there's going to be a lot going on.

Okay, because we had an 8-year-old that was being surprised with tickets to the concert, but you're telling us what? So my 66-year-old grandma has never been to a concert, so I got us tickets to Bobby Fest and I get to take her to her very first concert.

Look at that. We got kids, we got M-M-M-Maws, we got the whole deal, everybody's first concert. Well, that is awesome. Thank you so much. That's amazing. And now she'll be able to say her first concert. Maybe me, Ma'all and the eight-year-old end up together. They're like, hey. That's cool. So, just want to, everybody, I hope you have a great Labor Day weekend. But if you're anywhere near New Bromples, Texas on Saturday or Wichita, Kansas on Sunday, it's going to be a heck of a show. Kids, old people, midpeople, everyone. All people. Yeah, it's going to rock. Get your tickets at

raging idiots.com. Stuff that messes up your testosterone, comma, Eddie. Go ahead. Do you want to know who's sent it? Mike D. No. Lunchbox. No.

Wow. What, Amy? No. No. I mean, I'll leave it there. I'm not going to sell them out, I guess. You? No.

Okay, I know it is now. You get one more yes. That's right. What a punk. I mean, you took you only six guesses. So, this is just kind of a PSA for guys. Because I think our listening audience is like 55% female, 45% male, right? That's kind of where we fall.

So we have a large male audience. But women can take this with them on how to support their male. Yes. When I got my testosterone score, I was hoping it would be through the roof. I would hope it because I had to get it like three or four months. Maybe a year ago. I was hoping the doctor would go, we've never seen testosterone like this for a 40-year-old guy. Oh, he said that?

No, no, I was hoping. And he didn't. As a matter of fact, he was like, yeah, it's pretty average. slightly above average. And I was like, wait, no, no, no. I don't think you, watch me, watch me do a curl. I sent him a video of me doing a curl. Look at this. Tell me this is not. So I was a little bit like, oh man, I'm just average. And so it hurt my pride. But then Caitlin's like, this is, you're talking about a hormone, basically. Like, you can't control that. Yeah. Not with just wanting to do it. So here are, as guys get older, they deal with decreasing levels of testosterone.

own. Here are things that can really mess you up. Eating soy products. Do you guys do that here? Yes. Oh, you do? I love soy sauce. Is that a soy product? Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I don't know that. I don't know that's the same thing. I think are things more like, is it like tofu and soy milk and that's a great thing? I never thought about soy sauce. I love soy sauce. I'm not smart enough to know if that's even considered soy. I would think no. Okay. My initial reaction would be soy sauce is not a soy product. Okay, well, if there's no soy sauce, then I don't, I don't drink eat or any of that other stuff. Lowering your touch sauce.

Stone is having kids. Got four of them. And they keep coming. Every day Eddie's got a new one. No, no, we're done. That's what it feels like. Every time you show up, there's a new kid with you. Too many carbs.

Yeah. A lot of pizza. That's a problem, for sure. Pizza every Friday. Lack of sleep? I mean, six, seven hours a night. That's pretty good. That's what I get.

You still playing video games at night? No, not really. Just on Saturdays. I got a new headset. I'm playing mad. Okay, let's play some more than. I'm playing mad. Drinking.

No, not as much as I used to. if you can keep your guy from doing those at a high level, his testosterone won't drop. I was talking to my trainer, and he's like, hey, if you want to work, because I told him, I was kind of embarrassed. I was like, hey, my tea came back average. What?

Average seems okay. You said above average, man. Slightly. Slightly. So that seems like you don't have any concerns with your tea. I'm concerned. I like to be 100% all the time. I want him to be like,

we need to slow the testosterone down. And it wasn't like that. And he said, hey, what you can do naturally is you can do a lot of leg exercises. Really? Big muscles. And that will up your tea? That's what I call it. Maybe he just tricked me into doing squats.

That's what motivates you. Everything in life. All right, ready to go. Tosauron one. The next thing up is Ali Love, who is a Peloton coach. And I'll ride the Peloton sometimes. She's okay as a coach. But she has a really cool thing going on out of,

Peloton. She kind of became famous from Peloton. It's pretty cool to see her use that platform. To be like an influence or something? I admire that. She has a five-day wedding planned out. Oh, wow. And for everybody to see on Instagram, the social media rollout of the event

carefully coordinated. Each night had a theme. Welcome, which is a carnival night, a Miami night, the wedding itself, Sundays with love. And then she posts about it first and everybody else gets to post. Oh. A five-day wedding, though, seems like you're asking way too much of the people. That's a lot. I'm exhausted and I wasn't

even invited. I felt bad asking people just to come to my wedding. Much less a five-day wedding. What? You shouldn't. You shouldn't feel bad. No, I know. So the wedding's already happened. Okay, got it. I read about the five-day wedding and I thought, that is wild and good for her, and if she can

throw it and pay for it, and if her people can get off of work and want to, listen, I love when people are happy. But holy moly, that seems like a lot. Yeah, so... I felt guilty for asking Dan and Shea, who I'm close friends with, to walk up and sing a song with just their guitars. I was like, guys, I'm sorry.

And they were already going to be there. And they were already going to be there. So to ask people for five days, to me, seems like the hardest part to swallow. What about you guys? Yeah, that's a lot. As long as those events aren't mandatory, it should be okay, right? Nothing can be mandatory. Yeah, but if you're going to the wedding.

I bet they're all mandatory. If you're going, you have to be at all five. I would think so. Oh, that sounds, no. I would feel like, okay, we're doing all this. Come to what you can. I'll go to the wedding, but I'm skipping Miami night. Can't do Miami night.

I think I'm skipping circus night. Carnival. Yeah. Let me grab some call. We have so many calls, and I hate to not get to them. They're waiting so patiently. Drew in Oklahoma. You are on the phone.

You're on the air. Drew, what's up? Nothing much, Bobby. How are you? How are you, crew? Doing pretty good. What can we do for you? Because the other day, you guys were talking about your honor.

Amy brought that up at the TV show. I just wanted to say that I watched it yesterday. I looked it up and it was like 1899 because I didn't have this description. So I just said, I'll do the free trial and I watched four episodes yesterday. It is amazing. So I'm going to try to knock it out. I'm going to try to knock out all 10 of them before I have to pay for it. Oh, yeah, go, go, go.

And then not pay for it. Is that what you're saying, before you have to pay for it? It's canceled. Yeah. Here's the thing with Your Honor. We watched one episode. We weren't blown away, but we're never blown away the first episode. rarely of any series.

We haven't got to any more episodes yet. On Rotten Tomatoes, it's got a 50%. I know. I don't understand why. I didn't know that when I started it. Probably wouldn't have started if I had read that. But I will listen to you and drew the caller before I listened to Rotten Tomatoes. So we're going to watch more.

We watched Nine Perfect Strangers last night, the new episode. That's on Wednesdays. We watched that on Wednesdays. And on Fridays, we watched Ted Lasso. Yeah. That's what we watch right now. But I have a whole list in the next segment of all the new shows coming out for the rest of the year. Big shows.

And some of these I read and I was like, oh, this show's coming back. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, we need this good news. Yes. Like, I feel like, yes, give it to me. Let me go over to Donna real quick, who is in Tampa. Donna's listening to the show. She's like to make a comment on how we do the show. Okay. Donna, go ahead. Morning. Morning.

Morning. So when you guys do Bobby Fest, it's been making me crazy. I've tried a couple times. Bobby Feud. Bobby Feud. Bobby Feud. Yeah, Bobby Feud. Yeah, Bobby Feud. So when you give out points, the top, most requested, most said answer is supposed to get the most points, not just one. Well, and then the least... I just want to jump in. Yes, in the normal TV show and people have the opportunity to race each other by speed round, yes, that would be true.

But because there is no race to it, the number one answer getting the most points is the easiest one getting the most points. So we have to do it the opposite way. If I said Amy versus Lunchbox at the same time go and they buzzed in, then it would. But we have to do the opposite of that and give the hardest ones the most points. Which is cool because the hardest ones are really hard to get. Right.

The easiest ones, it'd be like Twix! Well, you get all the points, game is over. That was the number one. That was fun. Yeah. So I understand on the TV show, yes, but how we have to do it on this show because we have three people in no timer,

that would not work. I'm going to have to agree to disagree. Oh. No, no, no. No, we're wrong. But we play the game. Yeah, we agree. It's a different version of the game.

It's almost like, it's a spinoff of Family Feud, but we call it Bobby Feud and the rules are different. Yeah, because there's no race. Yeah. The reason the point, I went on Family Feud, the TV show. The reason the points are so much for the first one is because you're racing somebody for the answer. Right. Right.

You're not racing anybody here. Anyway, spent too much time on this already. And we play the game and we kind of like that. We're just going to agree that we're going to keep doing it our way. Yeah, and after the person got the first answer, the game would be over. Literally. It would be over.

There'd be no fun. We would just end the game. Wow, you got, what's your favorite letter of the alphabet? A? Well, that's it. All right. Thank you, though. Now, we appreciate the call.

All right. Yeah, I see what she's saying. Goodbye. I do see what she's saying. We kind of hit her hard, though. Yeah, take it back. I'm going to read you some TV shows when they're coming back for the rest of the year. Big shows.

On September 3rd Billions. Any takers? Oh, love it. Yes. I. On September 7th on Apple TV Plus, the morning show. Oh, yes. Yeah.

You know what else comes out September 7th? It's the impeachment Bill Clinton story. With Monica Lewinsky? Yeah. Well, that's September 7th. This is 17th. Oh, sorry. Are you 7th?

Yeah, September 7th. I have it in my brain. On September 20th, Dancing with the Stars, the Voice, and NCIS. Now, speaking of Dancing with the Stars, can't reveal anything. It has nothing to do with me because I will never dance again. He's going back.

I have a really good friend doing it. And I've been kind of tutoring them through what to do early. It's great. I love him. My friends do it. so I can't wait until they announce it and when they announce it you'll go oh that's who he's talking about

but I have a really good friend doing it and I'm so pumped for him and I gave him the conversation that Charlemagne the God gave me when I was considering doing it because sometimes people go on that show are people that have run their course and are like just like

they just need some way to get on TV and I called Charlemagne and I said hey should I do this show Gaines one stars? It's a lot of people that were like 90 sitcoms or people that are viewed as they've already been through their moment and I trust

Charlemagne a lot. He's a radio guy, TV guy in New York. He said, Michael Strayhan did it. Wendy Williams did it. A lot of people do it on the come up. He said, you do it either on the come up or on the way down. And he goes, and you're not on the way down. So do the show. And I was like, all right, that's all I needed to hear. And then I did the show and it kind of had the same talk yesterday with this person. Oh, that's cool. So, but I also really enjoyed. Did you do it verbatim? Michael Trayhan did it? I actually did it verbatim, but I said this is what Charlemaine told me. I didn't steal it exactly. I just pass it on to the next person.

It's like I've always said. September 22nd, Survivor, the Masked Singer, the Conners, a million little things, and the Wonder Years reboot. Yes. Oh, Survivor, get ready. On September 30th, Gray's Anatomy, and then Seinfeld hits Netflix. What do you mean? They paid like $500 million for it.

All the old episodes. Cool. And then in October, Succession. Yes. and curb your enthusiasm and in November Yellowstone. Okay. Amy, you're going to be busy.

I know. You're going to have a lot of TV to watch. I can't wait. Amy said yes to all of them. No, I didn't. Like every time you said, I was like, yes, yes, yes. And then she even added one to the calendar

that wasn't on there. That's true. I'm waiting for that American crime story about Bill Clinton. I am too. I think that would be really good. Yeah, and I think it's going to shed light wolves. The teasers that I've seen.

scene is just the unfair portrayal that Monica Lewinsky got during the time and like everybody played onto it. Like I feel bad for her that she went through it at a time where even news went after it away they probably shouldn't have. She's one of the producers on the show too. Oh well no wonder I feel this way. They convinced me even in the teasers. But I'm sure I know it's true. After watching like so many things on how things were done back then and how they're done now, I'm glad we're evolving. Throwback Thursday. We don't always do this. We got a good one today. Bobby Bones show Throwback Thursday.

I'm gonna rattle off some stuff because today, Thursday, September 2nd, a pretty good day in country music history. Today in 1991, Rope in the Wind was released. Yes. By? Garth. Come on.

Did you not know that? No, I was waiting for Eddie. Eddie, the boy. Oh, man. The first country album to enter Billboard's top 200 and top country albums chart at number one. It's the second biggest selling country CD of all time. It has rodeo.

What she's doing now. and shameless. Oh, yeah. And the river. Well, I didn't read every track. And against the grain. Yes. And...

Papa love mama. Today in 1997, Kenny Chesney picked up his first number one for, she's got it all. Today in 1999, Fly was released by... Sugar Ray! The chicks. Oh, you're both wrong. Okay, sorry, but then they were, the Dixie Chicks. Not Sugar Ray.

I just want to fly. Although around the same time, I think. Come on. Yeah, no. Ready to run. Cowboy Take Me Away. Goodbye Earl. Yes.

Really great album. So good. Today in 2001, Blake Shelton celebrated his fifth week at the top of the country charts with his first single. Austin. Correct. Good job. About it. Wait for the tone.

You know what to do it. I was with Blake once. We were doing a little TV thing and I was doing it with them. And we were talking in commercial breaks. and he was going to sing Austin next. And I watch him sing Austin. I feel like he has sang that song so many times. I thought he looked like he was an autopilot.

Oh, really? He was like, all right, this is my first number one. And it's like his eyes rolled over. And he just sang it. And then when it was over, he was like, I'm back. And Blake, hey, everybody has money. Maybe mentally he went back to that time.

Or he's just kind of over it. Probably. Probably that. But he also loves the fans enough to still sing the hits because they want to hear them. Today in 2006, Taylor Swift performed Tim McGraw, and her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry stage. Here's a clip of that performance. And today in 2014, Luke Bryan fell off stage in Indiana.

I remember that. Yeah. He danced a little too hard. Yeah, I'm shaking it. He's shaking it. That boom, boom. That's a big throwback Thursday for today. Sugar Ray Fly came out in 1997.

Okay. So around the time, but a little before that day. Not today, though? Okay. I don't think so. I want to say this before we jump out of this break, is that I was looking at some data this morning. And, you know, as the show's ratings are just doing great,

and I'm always surprised when they come back and they're still great or they're better. Our podcast number, we hit a new record for us for a month. I, anytime I, and first of all, that's due to obviously you guys listening, but to a lot of the people on the show that you don't get to hear that much. Mike D, Scoob, Steve, Ray. I mean, it's not like their voices are heard all the time, but they do such a great job in making sure the show is done right, the show is posted,

and there's such leaders behind the scenes. So I just wanted to acknowledge them and acknowledge you guys, and remind you, we put this whole show up plus on our podcast feed. We just set another record for the biggest month of streams. We're very proud of that. We're very proud of our online product as well. go listen to it and check it out. And it also shows when I do something controversial

that should do more things controversial. And it wasn't even early on the air that was that controversial, but people were just like checking out the show to see if I'd be crazy. It just kind of makes me want to be more controversial. Let's go. But I don't have, I don't, I don't crave being controversial. Sometimes I crave when conflict happens,

like fighting back and beating everybody up. Yeah, but sometimes I feel like you do have the guts to say things that other people don't. Sometimes. I don't know if it's good. But also sometimes I don't care. Maybe that's it. Yeah. But anyway, I just want to say thank you guys because we have yet again surpass something that I never thought we would surpassed.

And that is we have set another podcast record for the show. So thank you very much for listening and for podcasting. We know we couldn't do without you. And I think that's it for this segment. Everybody feel good? Yeah. Any new shows? Coming out, Amy, you want to mention before?

On the TV? Yeah. On the TV. No. This story comes to us from Georgia. A 36-year-old man was heartbroken. He had broken up with his wife. He wanted to win her back.

Like, how can I get my ex-wife back? He was like, I know what I can do. I'll fake kidnapper and then I'll come in and be the hero. So he went to Lowe's, bought zip ties. He bought a ski mask, all sorts of supplies. They went? Broke into her house in the middle of the night, put a pillowcase overhead, zip tied her to the back deck.

Traumatized her forever. Yes, like therapy for life. Disguised his voice. It said, do not move. And so he left and he went to his apartment, changed clothes, everything, came back. And he was like, oh my gosh, honey, I came over here in the middle of the night and you're tied up on the deck. I'll call 911. Calls 911.

They come. And then they do a search of his apartment. They find a ski mask. And then they go to Lowe's and find a video of him buying zip ties. And he gets arrested. Yeah, that's bad. In a lot of ways, I mean, the move would have been to hire a buddy to do that. And then you show up right and beat, like, down the buddies.

Yeah. Yeah, you need to beat somebody up. Well, you need to show up right then. You can't just show up randomly later. They're like, wow, look at this. It's a bad move. All bad move. However, what you do is you get your friend Larry.

He's kind of down on hard times too. Larry's a little crazy himself. He probably served a little time. He's doing nothing on a Friday night. Larry does that bad part. And then you show up when you beat up Larry. Nice. But not really.

That's even bad. That guy's an idiot. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story. the day. Before we go, I think we need to acknowledge something that's pretty important in this room today. Eddie's been married 16 years. Oh, look at this. Crazy. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good. Because I know this because Eddie and I have a little recording session for a new raging idiot song that we just

wrote. Today? Today. And I said, hey, do you want to record it? We'll record it at like 4 p.m. And he's like, man, I can't. I was like, why? This is my anniversary. I was like, how long you've been married? 10, 11? He goes, 16 years. That's almost all. as old as I am. So we didn't cancel it. So what are you? Boz's going to celebrate your anniversary during the day. Come on. Let's do this for a couple hours. We're recording at like noon or one. Oh, that makes sense. Okay. So but then you have like what dinner plans? Yeah. What do you do on a 16 year anniversary? Yeah. The big one. Not much. I think we're going to do a trip later in a month maybe. But you know tonight, I don't know. I'm going to probably get some dinner and then you don't know. Wait till the. I'm worried. I should know a little bit. I'm worried right now. Honestly, after 16 years, we both talked about it like, what do you want to do? And she was just like, nothing. Let's just hang out.

But how about you take the bowl by the horns? We never mean nothing. And you know that too. After 16 years, I should probably learn that is what you're saying. Even if she means nothing. She does mean nothing. I know, but why not one time a year do something, even if she means nothing? I'd do that for Mother's Day.

Birthday. This is your. Is that not? This is a big way. 16. I looked it up. 16 years. That's lint.

Oh, what is the gift? Oh, pocket lint. No, no, really. What is the... I don't know if 16 has one. I don't think 16 is anything, right? Oh, is it just skip from... It's just a lot of hard work.

I know 25 is like diamonds and stuff, right? What's your advice after 16 years of marriage? To me, I've been married... 16 minutes. Yeah, basically, I've been married a month and a half. It's so hard to give advice, like, for marriage. 16 years, don't be an idiot. Like, just...

I think that would be mine. Don't be an idiot. I know. I got a lot to learn. I don't be an idiot. Think of both of you. Don't just think of you. There you go.

Sometimes I do stuff, and I'm so steadfast. fast and that this is how I live my life. I got to really dig in. This is the right decision. And then I say it. And then it's almost immediately I realized I probably didn't need to say that. Like I had spent like hours leading. This is the big, this is the core value is me.

I got to remain me. I'm going to be. And then I say it. And then it's almost like five seconds later. I'm like, yeah, that's stupid. Why did I say that? Like it makes no sense. Yeah.

So you definitely do learn things not to say. I'm trying not to be an idiot. So thank you for that. It just reminds me. As you go on your journey bones, don't be an idiot. Congratulations on 16 years. Thank you. Wow.
