With Amy. Shout out to this Boy Scout named Alex Doss in North Carolina. He made a huge difference at an elementary school and installed buddy benches around the playground. They're brightly painted benches and they provide a place for you to sit. And the deal is you kind of go over there if you need a buddy and you sit. And then the other kids playing know that if you're sitting on that bench, that they should come over and sit with you and hang out because you need a buddy. Good for him.

Good for him and them. and everybody that helps out somebody sitting on a buddy bench. That's cool, yeah. Lobby Bone Show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes us from Louisiana. Two people walked into a pawn shop,

stole a TV from the top shelf. Next day, they came back and tried to pawn it. Wow. I wonder if they were so messed up they didn't know where they got the TV. Maybe. Because that's not something you do if you're normal. Like, you may still TV.

You shouldn't, but you may. But you probably don't take it back to the place. and then a day later. Right, why not go to another pawn shop? Wow. So they called police and they were arrested. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.

They stole the day before. Yeah. They took it back to the same place. Yep. That's a good one. There you go. Bonehead time. This is a body bone show.

Bobby Bonds. The Friday morning conversation. With Little Big Town. Little Big Town's about to walk in the studio. They got a new song out this week. They hosted the CMT Awards this week. they're all here, all four of them. Yeah.

It's hard to keep them all together. So they're coming down the hallway right now. They have a picture in our hallway. Right when you walk in the building, it's their picture. And so it's them playing our IHeart Country Festival. I know. We get to see them right. We walk in and right we walk out every day.

Did you dress cute for Karen today? Of course. We were giving Amy a hard time. Yeah, I know. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't. I didn't.

Thanks, Karen. I dress normal. I mean, yesterday I was in yoga clothes, but whatever. Everyone have a seat. Here they are. Hello. The folks are a little big... Hey!

How y'all doing today? You know... I should keep these on, I think, because I'm lighting the portals of hell over here, my eyeballs. You're late nights, huh? Oh, yeah. Let me ask you guys about the CMT Awards. Okay. By the way, you guys hosted wonderfully.

I always think it's tough when you do something for the first time because you go, oh, am I going to be stiff? Here's what I thought that you guys did great, and they did great, too. You started with a bit that was recorded already. Then you went into a performance. which loosened you guys up because that's your comfort zone, then you were good to go. Right. After we got the song out of the way, I was like, whew, now we're fun. Which, by the way, the song is so fun. And even on the performance, you guys were dressed all summer in 80s-e-Z. I like that. Yeah. Thank you. Thanks, man. Thank you. Sporting the vans.

I'm playing it right now. You can't hear it. You know, I've had fun about. But trust me, it's playing right now. There it is. Yeah, right. You hear it, Philip? Oh, yeah. Look at this guy. You're a roller skating song, right? Yes. That's felt like a roller skate. Totally.

Let me run this by you because I, later in the night I presented, but I submitted a joke and said, hey, let me. I heard you on the radio tell them, though. Okay, this is a joke that's it. Because they always say, hey, if you have something in mine, let me know. And I said, great. I'm introducing Kelly Clarkson. I love Kelly, but I'd like to tell a joke because they wanted me to introduce her. So here's what I, here's the joke.

I said, which brings me to this next performance? This artist is the definition of a She's playing an American woman by the way, this song I said it was killer This artist is the definition of an American woman She's strong, confident, inspiring And doesn't tweet after taking Ambien Here's Kelly Clarkson

That's amazing And they would let you say that's too soon Is it though? But isn't that the only time to do it When it's too soon? I think you're right Yeah, that would have been great I would have laughed my face off

I just did I just did That's all I was hoping for I need you to write some jokes for us for the show, like for a live show. I've always wanted a comedian to write jokes. It's just not the environment for it, though. I know, right? Because I would even do it at our Raging Idiot shows, and people, they're not there for comedy.

I play the opera, and not to make this about me, because you guys are the reason people are listening right now. But that's a tough crowd for me, because they come to watch the singers, and all of a sudden, they're like, and here's a guy to tell you comedy for 12 minutes. Yeah. So it's tough. Yeah, that's not an easy gig. But how did little Jimmy Dickens? Well, because he would sing and then, I don't know, he was so funny. And I'm not.

And I'm not. And I'm not. Yes. That didn't sound bad. I didn't mean. No, no. Yes. I look at a little big town.

All of them are here. Amy, what would you like to say? Oh, man. Nothing? Why are you putting me on the spot? Nothing. So, Philip, I was talking to your wife, Philip. Yes.

For like 15 minutes. And we're friendly. That's a long time. Mostly all of us are friendly. I think the person I've hung out with the least is actually you, Jimmy. Yeah, where are you hiding? I'm such a...

That's what I hear. I was talking, and she said that you guys are going, you're having an exhibit at the Halt of Country Music Hall of Fame. And so there's a newspaper clipping from your hometown radio station, and she sent it to me. Oh my gosh, was that?

So that was you? She sent it to me too. He was Phil Stevens. That was my middle name, Steven. So I had to use a, my radio disc jockey name was Phil Stevens. Phil on the Hill. And I was DJ of the year for the International Country Gospel Music Association.

I didn't know that was an association. I didn't know it was a big deal either. It was an association. It was a big deal. And so you guys have to pick things to go into the country music hall of fame? Yes. Like from your life? Is that a weird thing to go, okay, I'm about to be celebrated.

Let me pick the things that I want people to see. Well, Kimberly and I, because we've known each other for 30 years, there are certain pictures we didn't want. Everyone to say. But, I mean, you know, we had, I had a perm because I loved Amy Grant. Yeah. So did I. Did you have one?

Oh, yeah. And Amy Graham was my first concert ever. Yeah. She's the best, isn't? So, yeah, and then Kimberly wasn't as blonde as she is now. That's back when I used to color my hair. So, okay, wait a minute. Your hair now, is that natural?

Yeah, absolutely. 100%. A curl is natural. Okay. The color is what God originally gave me. And then it went a little bit. It was almost not as dark as I am in college about your coloring in college. I used to do that too.

What's that? My hair used to be pretty dark. That was like a thing, I think. The thing about Kimberly, and by the way, Little Big Towns here, the thing about Kimberly is that I've seen Kimberly with straight hair and didn't even know who she was. I know. Our son didn't recognize her. He's like, where's Berkeley?

Why did you like somebody else to the band? Yeah. I went first time I colored my hair was at I mean I mean I straightened my hair I'm all flustered first time I straightened my hair was at a an award show and I was walking down the hallway backstage and I spoke to people and they just looked at me they didn't even know who I was my friends I did uh I think for our own company right and it was a big country music seminar I did have my glasses on all my bosses they were like excuse me it's just glasses but it's so you I mean you're but it was like how you were shocked I was also shocked

It's just hair and glasses. Aren't we our hearts? Now I see people out there, I think, trying to look like you. I don't say that out loud, but I didn't. Wait, what? Just because they have vision problems? No, hold on, go ahead. Let her speak.

Let Karen speak. I can't remember where it was. I passed by someone and I thought it was you. And then I was like, oh, that's a Bobby Bones wannabe. Interesting. I would say that. I've kept those feelings inside, but there's a reason. She's known for her style and fashion.

That is true. Okay, we're going to come back. I'm going to play the song, though, first. Summer fever, which, by the way, the video was released yesterday on Thursday. So you got the video. I'm going to play the song. What do you want to say about the video? So people will go from here to look at it.

Say something about it. We're riding bicycles and high heels can really nice. That's impressive. Yes. It was not what I was going to say. Okay, we're going to play. We're going to come back. Summer fever from Little Big Town, and back after this.

song. The Friday morning conversation with Little Big Town. All right. In studio now with all four A Little Big Town. Here's something happening on the show and I want you guys to be the helper with this.

I'm going to growling. You hungry? Can we get to give me some food please? That was really loud. I'm so sorry. You want a rider? I think it's coming actually. Send it up.

Send it up. We've been doing this thing on the show where we have this pimp and joy line and we do as we sell the stuff. We don't ever keep the money. And we're buying service dogs for people in the military that come back. And these dogs are $20,000 of peach. Wow.

Because they have to be trained for PTSD and stuff. So our listeners are super awesome and passionate about the brand and what Pimp and Joy is. And we just hit $100,000 with these shirts. Amazing. So at $80,000, we were drawing names. You get to name the dog, right? So we drew names out of the hat. Because we had four dogs.

Yeah, Morgan number two was the first dog's named after. And then my name was drawn. Bobby. Yeah. Then Amy's name was drawn. And then Ray Mundo's name was drawn. So we just raised enough money for one more dog, $20,000. Wow.

And Lunchbox is on fire that he doesn't have a dog. Yeah, come on. No, no, no. Ray? I was about to say lunchbox. Ray. And, Morgan, number two, are like side pieces on the show. Wow.

Wow. Lunchbox, tell me, Rick. Lately, you've been getting your feelings hurt on the show a lot. They've been dumping on me. Do you feel mistreated? Yes. Man. You even drew the name.

I drew the last name, yes, I drew Raimundo. I understand that. Raymondo is a pretty good name. I think lunchbox is a great name for a dog. So there are three names left in the hat. There's one more dog. So who's left? Eddie, lunchbox.

There's Mike D., Eddie, and Lunchbox. I can't believe Mike D's names in the hat, but we won't even go there. I don't want to pick. You don't want to pick? I'll pick. Jimmy's going to pick. Okay. All right, Jimmy, you draw the name.

Whoever gets a dog. Hey, you can meet my favorite. remember a little bit of John now. What are my least favorite? Don't look yet. Don't look yet. Okay. You know if it's Bobby, you have to prepare yourself. If it's Mike D., lunchbox is going to lose it.

Okay, so it's either Eddie, Mike D, or Lunchbox. The final dog. Jimmy from Little Big Town. You can look at it, but don't tell it, but look at it. What is it, Karen? Oh, no, oh no. Oh, no. All right.

Oh, no. Karen's face. Karen? Eddie. I failed you. Such crap. Such crap. Such crap.

Like, no, this is an awesome dog for a veteran. Yeah, it's got a real name. Come here, Eddie. Eddie, get over here. All three of your names. Kimberly's dog is Emmy Jolene Banana Bread. That's a lot of names.

That's a lot of names. That's a name. Yeah, but then it takes the fun out of the games like this. Oh, wait. Speaking, oh, okay. No, if another $20,000 is raised. Yeah, then it's just me. My D-Dy is out.

No. Like, you're no more drawing. No, let's try to raise... 40. Let's try to raise 40. Yes. It's a rainbow shirt. I love that shirt.

Okay, we'll send y'all some. No, they got to buy them. We got to buy them. What does it give you? Let's give you. This is charity. We're not giving away. Oh, my God.

I'll buy a bunch of shirts to try to help. Yes, we want to be a part of it. That's a great thing. Okay. That's so cool. And there's Tate Talks, baseball. Okay, everyone, let's take it down a notch. All right, everybody, let's take it down a notch.

Okay. All right, a little big down is good. Speaking of dogs. Go ahead, yes, dogs. Karen, my kids are obsessed with your dog, but I don't know what kind it is, and they really want a new dog. Oh, little honey. But what kind of dog?

She's a golden doodle. A golden, okay. She's a mini golden doodle. Yeah, she's like 25 pounds? Yeah. She loves chicken nuggets, so... You feed your dog chicken nuggets? I know. It's not good.

Not on a regular basis. Elijah does it. Elijah is obsessed with Chick-fil-A, so, you know, here and there, a stray nugget. We'll wash him. Actually, what happens is he'll eat, and then we'll leave the room. And we come back, and honey's in the middle of the table, and everything on the table is gone. So she's sitting up there, going. She likes orange chicken.

Our kids love y'all. They listen all the time, and Elijah wanted to come so bad. Why doesn't he come? I feel like I know him from watching the end stories. Yeah, yeah. And my daughter, Penelphi, she's like, if we'll listen to you on the way to school, she's like, Dad, when are you going to take me to go on the air of Bobby? Like, really, why don't the next time you come up, just bring them?

That would be fun. One day Elijah goes, Mom, lock your car, and I said, why? And he goes, because Bobby Bone's laptop got stolen. That's true. That's awesome. It's like, he is listening to him. Our kids are crazy. You don't, I mean, they're so much fun.

you don't know what that'd be a fun interview let me they wrote a thank you note to midland after we finished the tour which first of all they asked us why they needed to write a thank you note to midland they're like why really but um mainly they thanked them for teaching them all the bad words they were hearing in the hall it is a fun it is a funny note and they did it all themselves they wrote it all them Elijah said um thank you for taking your shirt offs to make the girls like you a lot Next thing you know, he's just taking his shirt off all over town. But really, you guys should bring them.

You're welcome to bring them sometime. Even if you don't want them on the air, you can sit on the couch. They won't. Sit on the couch. They won't be funny to have you interview them. I would love to. Where's the stage now, too, in our friendship that bring them up? I was telling Phillips' wife, I was like, hey, she was answering phones for St. Jude.

And I was like, why did you not come to the studio? And she was like, well, I don't want to bother. I said, because you didn't bother, I'm a little offended. Like we know each other. She just wanted to help out. She was the sweetest. Little Big Towns here. Hey, what's up with the...

Are you guys talking about a new record or no? Yes, we are. You are talking about a new record? Yeah. So what's the story here? We just have been writing a lot. It's like we've just been fun. It's been creating.

Yeah. And it's kind of... Only writing so far outside of summer fever. Yeah. And the songs are kind of taking us on a journey. And it's fun. It's very creative. And we're just kind of letting it guide us down a really fun path.

Yeah. It's been really exciting to see these songs kind of are living in the same world that like summer fever. We brought a mobile like recording rig on the road just so that we could really focus on writing when we're on the road. And that's been so much fun. Jesse Frazier and Carrie Barlow came out on a weekend. And I mean, we just like made tracks and just I think we wrote five songs that weekend.

It was like summer camp. Yeah. So did you guys write summer fever out during summer camp? No. You said Jesse because you wrote that with Jesse and Carrie. Yeah, we wrote that like It was almost a year ago Almost a year ago

How about that process? This takes forever, right? Like you write it Well, here's a funny thing is that we played it You know our manager Jason So we we played it I played it for them They loved it I played it for Jason

About seven months ago And I don't know I don't know if we all had too much wine It was a late night But then like maybe a month and a half ago I was sitting in his office He was like so Let's really think about

When are we doing the next? record and I said well don't forget about this song and I played him summer fever and he goes oh my gosh we're putting that out right now and I said I played this for you seven months ago you know I feel about this show on bits I come up with I'm like don't I said that a year ago but timing is everything and like I love I love his passion of going you know straight to Duncan and Cindy mayben saying let's go now and let's just do it because the time's right so well congratulations I love it thank you I don't you guys don't put anything I don't love and I'm turning

to think is there anything I don't love? Can we not talk about that? I was thinking back. You know everything we do is amazing. Congratulations on all the things. You're going out with Miranda too, huh? Yeah. July? Yeah. The bandwagon tour and that's going to be a jam. We're going to play songs together. Oh, are you?

It's a real, like we're going to play for about 50 minutes, then she's going to play for about 50 minutes, and then we're going to do about 50 together. Oh, wow. So it's like the Elton John, Billy Joel kind of, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We've been talking about touring with her for a long time. We're just good friends, and it's going to be a good time.

I'm excited about it. Little Big Towns here. One final question. I got invited to no after parties after the CMT awards the other night. None, none, so I just went home. We invited ourselves to Blake. We got invited. I just wondered why.

You think they know? Just because they hosted they're in charge of the after parties? We assumed that everyone's invited. I went home. You had to have gotten an invitation in the mail that you didn't get. The mail. The mail. Is that how they come?

Did the pony express? The British are coming. It's so the invitation. I don't know. We didn't either. Because Blake said something about, we're going to hang out at Old Red and y'all come. And I said, well, nobody invited us. As an understood invite.

I think that's what. Well, I didn't understand. Yeah. And when Blake says hang out, he means he's going to sing for three hours. Holy cow. And he's like a living jukebox. You know that you played drums last? Do you know that you didn't?

I didn't play them well. The only reason I got to play the drums was because their drummer, they were playing so long that the drummer was like, I gotta go take a pee break. And Blake's manager is like, get up there, get up there. So I jammed on a song. And then, of course, he razzed me the whole thing. Who were you excited to see when besides us? Dan and Jay. I know.

Yes, right. I love that moment. Off my head immediately because they work extremely hard. Much like you guys, they're absolute grinders. Like they just hit it. And I have respect for that because I feel like that's how I try to get ahead. Just outwork everybody. And you see it in other people and you recognize, oh, they just go.

Like when things aren't right and things don't go well, they just keep going. Much like you guys, much like Dan and Shay, they just go. So when they win, I'm like, man, win one for the little guy. And they sound. God. So good. And they're also awesome. But yeah.

Do you ever take a day off? Yeah. Because like if you sing on the weekends or you. Well, I'm doing stand-up all the weekends now. I know, but what day do you go? I'm not going to do anything. He did on Memorial Day weekend. That's right.

But you had a party. I know. That's not work. Are those your floats out there still? They are. We tried to put them in an Uber the other day. We did Will it Uber and put all the floats in the back of an Uber. And the guy got ticked.

And he took them, but he was mad. He took them. Because they weren't deflated. Yeah, they were all inflated. So what's your Uber rating now? I won't look at it anymore. We've done that bit so much that's probably not good. No, no.

Is yours bad, Amy? I don't know. I know lunchboxes is probably not good. The only is my count. Do you think, is your ever-writing good? Probably not. Anything that we forgot here, guys. Song, we have an album status.

Kind of. You guys are working. You're going out of Miranda in July. Anything that I haven't mentioned that you'd like for me to mention. Sometimes we get lost. And then you leave and I'm like, oh, why didn't I mention that? I don't think so. I love the way you guys are propping up the girls in the business.

So you know what happened? I just announced two days ago because I just am a bit obnoxious whenever I get passionate about something. So I said, hey, I'm launching a show on the weekends that's only female artists. And so I'm tired of the conversation just being conversaiced.

And so then if people really aren't going to move it along a bit because there are times when there are artists that just get the benefit of the doubt because they're a dude. And there are artists that don't because they're not. And so I go, okay, well, I'm just going to play songs. I'm going to create a show, and it's going to be on over 100 radio stations, and I'm only going to play females. And so if a bit that creates some awareness, good.

But that's the plan. That's what I'm going to do. And eventually we heard, man. Yeah, I mean, taxidermy. I love that you play. Taxidermy. Yeah. Yeah.

So, well, thank you for asking about that. Because, you know, and I'm bringing in a lot of female air talent, too. Because, again, if it's me and my dingling up here host on the show, it's, it's, You know, right. So I'm in Nashville, so I can be with the artist, but I want to bring in a lot of females from around the country, too, to actually be part of the show as well. So.

I'll see you need female co-hosts one day. In Rhode Island, a silver alert was issued for a 76-year-old man. That's when an older person goes missing. He has dementia. They couldn't find him. So this officer, he's on his off day. He grabs his canine, goes looking, finds him in the woods. Oh, wow.

Yeah, the dog picked up the scent, found the 76-year-old man all on his day off. Wow. Yeah. How about that? That was Tell Me Something Good. Do you suffer from fear of missing out? Then don't wait. You have to download the identity.

The Bobby Bon Show. Live from the Rhyman Auditorium. Hey, what's happening, everybody? We are live right now. And we got a whole bunch of people here that are watching us, which is crazy. So right now we are on the radio, but we are live in Nashville at the Ryman Auditorium. And the place is packed with people right now that woke up. What time did you guys get here for the most part? 2.30.

What? Three in the morning. There are some five in the mornings. Did Lunchbox's wife get a front row seat? Is she here? Does she come lunchbox or now? No, she is not here. Wait, so you demanded she get a front row seat, and then she didn't come.

Well, I can't help it. She had a meeting at work, and she couldn't change it. She was trying to change it, and she couldn't do it. A meeting at work. It's 7 a.m. Central time. No, she has to be there at 8.30. Got him. Okay, well, you demand it in your rider.

Do we have the seat left in her honor, though, which is what he wanted? Is there one? Yep, right there. There it is. That's for her. Front row. Maybe she'll sneak in for 10 minutes. I don't know, but just she's not here yet.

Right now we're live in the rhyme with a bunch of our friends that are watching the show this morning. We have a lot of guests that are going to come in. Chris Jansen's about to hop in and play. Is he coming in this segment? Yes. So are you guys ready to hear some music? All right. Let's bring them out for a second. Is Chris over here to the side? Where is Chris Jansen? Anywhere nearby? Yeah, let's bring out Chris Jansen, everybody. Clap your hands for Chris Jansen. And you will also be able to watch this. Is this up somewhere on the internet or no? I don't think so. Oh, cool.

Did a lot of preparing here. There he is. There's Chris Jansen. Sorry. I couldn't hear you. Sorry. Sorry. How are you this morning? back here and talk to us for a second. Okay, okay. All right. There he is. What a buddy. Hey, brother. So Chris Jansen, member of the Grand Ole Opry, the newest member. I guess maybe second newest member now, huh? Bobby Bear in yet? Yeah, they actually, they renewed Bobby Bear's membership, so still technically the newest member. Still the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry. Chris Jansen is here. How you been, bud? Man, I've been really blessed. Thank you, and it's great to see this awesome audience today, and appreciate you having me on. Can you believe this many people woke up early during CMA Fest to come and watch a radio show? It's pretty awesome.

It's pretty awesome. I keep thinking they're here to watch something else. Like, they're confused. Like, when does Alabama play? Just does. So, Chris has a guitar. The thing about Chris, he has a big old bass drum, too, that he's basically a one-man band.

And I think you did it because, you know, you have all these talents. Some would say you did it because you can save money and not have to hire a drummer. Yeah. Yeah. All those things. All those things.

So would you just like to hear a song from Christian? Maybe a song or two. Yeah. So if you want to walk up there. Thanks, yeah. Yeah, cool. If you're turning your radio on right now, we are live at the Riemann Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. It's the first time we've ever done this.

And so Chris is setting up. What are you going to play first, Chris, you know? Redneck Life. Oh, so at the end of the ACMs. Can you hear me, Chris, if I talk? Yes, I can hear you now. At the end of the ACMs, I'm watching and I keep waiting for you to come on. And I'm like, where's Chris Jansen?

Where's Chris Jansen? And they bring you out at the end of the ACM. and you crush it, right? Thanks, dude. You crush it. And did you play Redneck? Is that the song you played at the end of the ACMs? Yeah, we played Redneck Life, and it was, man,

do you know, the wall came up and it was just, it was on. After they gave the entertainer of the year, then they say, Chris Jansen, you have to perform. No pressure, and then you nail it with this song right here. Thanks, man. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Jansen. Hey, guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this I-Hart Radio channel or podcast anymore,

but you can go to bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to the show,

and sorry about all the legal stuff. Look at this guy. Chris Jansen live this morning. The show is live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. That's the most energy the show's ever had that's early in the morning ever. Holy cow. Did you play last night anywhere in town?

Last night I did not play. I did a pop-up show, which was a letter from anything. But yesterday I had a seven-hour meet-and-grate with fans. So you stayed for all seven hours and made everything? No, literally. We ran, I think we ended up getting to about 750 people. Oh, my. Those were all people in attendance.

And, man, I have to tell you, it all started, you know, in a big way with boat. And, guys, it was in a great way. incredible. We did it down at the wild horse down the street, and it was called the Friends Club Party, because I just, I just, I just hate referring to somebody as a fan club party. I just, I just thought, man, if you're, if you're showing up and you're showing up early, just like this morning, that's a friend of mine, and just as you're friends of Bobby. So, um, so they showed up. It was really amazing, and it was one of the greatest successes we've ever seen, so really proud of it. So you did seven hours, huh? Yeah, man. I think it, we got there at, you know, 830, and we left at

yeah we got right out of there right before four so yeah he didn't want to do the math he realized quickly he wasn't hit the number right so it was like yeah you know it was making i was making sure it wasn't six or eight you know but i think it was right about seven hours so i mean by the time you get started you just kind of lose track but you know when you go through a big line like that and then um you wait around but it was incredible because not one person left and that was really a big blessing i mean i thoroughly thought we would lose about a hundred or two and uh no not i mean not one single person left. And I mean, to the point of the last guy that was there is the guy that I see at shows, which is a remarkable thing, by the way. I see it shows like all over the

it. It was Bobby Bones and it was fantastic. And no, it was just a great day. And, you know, it was good to see everybody. Chris Jansen right now, if you're listening to this, you just turned the radio on. He is standing right in front of me. We're at the Riemann Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. It's CMA Week. It's the first time our show has ever done a live show like this. And thank you to everybody who's here that woke up this morning that came out. I don't know if you guys can hear them clapping on the radio, but I assure you they're clapping for us. It's not a sound effect that we've added in.

Yeah, do another song in you this early in the morning? Heck yeah, man. What would you like to play now, my friend? I think I'll do a cover of a song that I wrote with some friends of mine and big stars in country music. The band is called Low Cash. And I know they're great fans of everybody on the show here, and there's certainly some best friends of mine.

And we wrote this song together now really quick, a little backstory guys. Love this life started out as I walked into a co-write. We were writing at like 8 o'clock in the morning. He pulled an early one so I could pull a double that day of writing songs. I showed up early and they said, man, how, what is, what is the deal? I said, what do you mean? You're just way over the top energetic. I said, oh, yeah, I've had like eight mountain dues and a pack of Sour Patch kids and I also woke up this morning, so I feel pretty blessed. And Preston, if you know a low cash at all, Preston, Maine, he's got a great attitude. about life in general. And he said, man, we should just write something about that. I said,

well, we woke up today. We woke up in freedom today. We're in America today. And I love this life. He goes, let's just write that. I said, okay, that's pretty easy. That's a true story. Holy cow. Chris, my friend, always a pleasure. Everybody download streamed drunk girl, Chris's latest song. Check out Redneck Live. He always comes when we ask him. And we ask him a whole lot. Chris Jansen. All right, clap your hands for Chris, everybody, as he walks off the stage. That's right.

That's a real-life crowd. And they're cheering for us. That's crazy. We didn't even have to go to Craigslist and use one of those things where you have to hire extras. Oh, yeah, no. No, we didn't do that. No, nobody here's being paid. We don't think.

So we're at the Ryman Auditorium. It's live. And I was into the crowd during the commercial break. And I was just meeting people. And I met this nice lady right here. Are you a lady? Yes. Yes.

I mean, I know you're a woman, but I don't know the difference between girl, woman, lady. I don't know if it's a tear thing. Like, not yet a girl, but not yet a woman? Well, we're not talking about Britney Spears. Okay, yeah, lady. What would you say you are?

More of a woman or lady or? A lady, I guess. A lady, it is, folks. All right, tell everybody your name. I'm Samantha. So I was down in the crowd, and I said, hey, Samantha, what time did you get here?

And you got here pretty early. Yeah, 3 o'clock this morning. So she got here at 3 o'clock. this morning and you drove down from Monticella, Kentucky. Which is how long of a drive? About three hours. So you left at midnight? No, we stayed all night.

You stayed all night here? Yes. Oh, so you came to Nashville, spent the night. Yeah, we came after work last night and got here really early. And you listened to the show where? In Monticella. So near Somerset, Kentucky? Yeah, near Somerset.

Look at this. She's in her B-Team shirt. It's awesome. She drove. So what did you do from 3 o'clock until they opened the doors at 6 a.m? We met friends outside. Yeah. Oh, they're waving, yeah.

And where are your friends from? And do you know their names? I don't know their friends. Ugh, not real friends. Fake friends. Fake friends. It's still fresh. Yeah.

So this is your, hey, take a picture of us because this is cool for me. Come over here right in the middle. Yeah, take a picture. Yeah. That's Katie. This is our friend who's been, she's in a Pimp and Joy shirt.

Okay, we're going to smile on the count of three. Ready? One, two, three. E! So, thank you so much for coming. You're going to have to take a picture with Katie, too. because I'm going to hit a song. Katie took off work too.

No, no, I get it, but I met her first. Okay, Katie, I got you. So anything you'd like to say, you have all the people in the Ryman, and you have millions listening right now. You have one shot to say something. Oh, gosh. No pressure. I mean.

You said I would know all the answers. Oh, okay, I did. I told her before we went on the air, I said, don't worry. I'm not going to ask you anything that you don't know the answer to. So I lied. Okay. So thank you for coming. No problem.

for coming and letting us come. Yeah, hey, let me, I give up one of my books. I brought two books. They're right there. I think my name's in it. Oh, your name's in the back of the book. Oh, you're, oh, B team shout out. Let me see that. I'll sign this one though for you. What's your last name? You don't have to say your last name, but S. S is for, what's S for?

So, anyway, so I have a couple books I brought that doesn't come out until next week, but I want to sign it for you and you can have this one and the one you ordered it already. It'll come. You have two. That's good.

Yeah. Because you can't get too much meat. Just kidding. Just kidding. The Bobby Bone Show. Live from the Riemann Auditorium. That's right. We're here right now, and we got a lot of people in the Riemannel watching.

You know what's funny is that every time they cheer, it's weird. I'm doing this show, and it's like, wow, people are clapping for us doing this. Because we do this in a room and nobody cares. Like, I talk every morning, even the people that sit around here, they don't care. So it's weird to be in a room when people care. I care. Thank you for caring. By the way, during the break, Amy was hassling me, and she's right because she hasn't done

the morning corny yet. So for the first time in the history of the morning corny, live in front of thousands. Now, do you want to go stand up on the microphone like a comedian and do it up there? No, no, the microphone's not on. Okay, never mind. Never mind. We don't know how to work all the equipment yet. Stop going rogue.

Okay, sorry. All right, ladies and gentlemen, Raymond, you ready in the booth? Let's do the first ever live morning corny. Here we go. The morning corny. Why is the pediatrician always angry? Why is the pediatrician always angry? Because he has very little patients.

That was the morning. Do you get it? I would say why is the tiny pediatrician always angry? No, the pediatrician treats children only. They're tiny. The children are eating. Hey, listen, why isn't it just a doctor? Because then a doctor wouldn't have little patients.

I love how we break down the corny jokes. A doctor has adult patient. Oh my gosh. Y'all got it, right? Thank you. Yeah, we're live. And there are a lot of people here watching a radio show. This is awesome.

Maddie Poppy, the winner of American Idol this season, has now joined me on stage. Everybody say hello to Maddie Poppy, everyone. Hello, Maddie. You know what I've never asked you? Is your name really? Is it like Madison? It is actually Madeline. Madeline?

I guess that would have been your first instinct, Eddie? Madeline or? I was like, I was that Madeline, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I'm idiot. Thanks. You're awesome. So I think a lot of people want to know, like, since American Idol's been over, you know,

what have you been doing for the past couple of weeks, nonstop? I have been doing lots of press. I have been doing, you know, like appearances here and there. Have you been home yet? No. So you finished the show and then you haven't been home at all? I have not been home. I saw my parents for like 10 seconds after the finale.

That's a solid 10 though, huh? Yeah, it was great. You got a lot. I love Iowa so much. I talk about it on my show. I do too. And that's where she's from. The Iowans are the nicest people.

There are a lot of Iowans here tonight. They are. And they look super nice. And they look super nice. They do. As opposed to people from Michigan. Yeah, they look so mean. I see them all out there.

Maddie Poppy, who won American Idol is here. And when I was watching you on Idol, you did Rainbow Connection. And it was you and Kermit the Frog. Now, I always wonder how that works whenever they have to bring out a very famous puppet. Do you get to pick up the puppet and hug the puppet? Because that's what I would want to do. Okay, listen to me. Kermit is such a sacred thing.

I mean, I'm serious. They treat this frog. I mean, they put it in a box, and I knew it was there. And it was kind of scary because I was like, I know he's there, but I can't see him. And he's in this box. and this woman carries him around and she's very like possessive of him

and she so she takes him out of the box and puts him under this tarp immediately this black tarp so they take him from inside the box to under a tarp immediately so no one can see that he's like actually not a real frog

okay so they put him under this tarp and then they bring him on to where he's supposed to be or whatever and they won't let any like they're very like have like three bodyguards around him like make sure no one can see that he's not a real frog and and then you know when it's ready for him to do his thing they take they when once the hand is like up in kermit and like the there the guys are like ready they take the tarp off then and then he's like

presented but it's like a serious thing and they won't i heard you're not allowed to touch them up it's one person like he was on a show one time and some the host thought it'd be funny to like pretend he was Kermit. And they left and they will never go back to that show. Like it's a huge thing. And so we were doing a video with Kermit and he's like, you know, talk to me or whatever. And he's like, shake my hand. And on video, I was like, no.

I was like, am I allowed to do that? And he's like, yes. And the lady's like, yes, thank you for asking. That was very respectful. I was like, oh my gosh. Where does the voice of Kermit sit or stand as Kermit is doing at the talking? So, oh my gosh, if he hears this, I mean, he's going to know that I just exposed to all of the secrets. Who, Kermit or the voice?

Both of them. I'm beginning to think that Kermit just has some powers. Okay. So it was under the piano. He was under the piano and he wears this little headband and puts his microphone in the headband. And then there's another guy playing the banjo. Okay. The banjo that Kermit's holding.

So he's playing the cartoon banjo. That was Kams' banjo player, by the way. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. So what you did an American Idol is you sang the song without Kermit first. You did. And then you came back and sang it with Kermit. Yeah.

And then I heard it. I was like, man, I would love for her to play that on the show. So would you guys like to hear Rainbow Connection from Maddie Pappy right now? So Maddie Pappi's walking up to the microphone. It's the Bobby Bone Show. We're live right now at the Riemann Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.

Yeah, no, that's the whole deal, is that this girl named Laura was driving in Virginia and it was lunch. She hears a rattling sound in her car. And normally when you hear a rattling sound,

you think it's something wrong with your car. Sure. And so she looked down next to the steering wheel and a snake slithered out of the air vent. No. She pulled off the road, jumped out of the SUV, called 911. So a couple of things here.

One, is that a 911 callable thing? It's a snake in a car. I mean, do you really call 911? Yes. Yes. It could be venomous. Hold on. If you see a snake in the woods, do you call 911?

No. They're also venomous. In the woods. It doesn't belong in your car. Okay, show a hands of the six people on stage. Who calls 911 if there's a snake in your car? 911 fast. Four of you do.

Yep. But no one's committing a crime. No one's hurting you. You haven't been hurt. It's an emergency. If there's a wasp in your car, do you call 911? Different. Okay.

Bobby, don't compare this to misuse of 911. is like misuse you would go to jail No no no no no misuse is they gave me six chicken nuggets and I ordered 12 Like that's misuse Like this is okay let's go to Mike D Apparently we're the only two of the degree on this Why would you not call 911?

I'm not afraid of a snake Yeah I'm not either maybe that's it too That's not the point tough guys over here Oh big bad men I mean Bite me snake Yeah listen what do you call 311 or 411 or what? If there was a raccoon in your car Would you call 911?

Yes According to lunchbox raccoons bite Absolutely. A raccoon can do some damage. Claw your eyes out. Well, a snake slithered out of a car in Virginia as a woman is driving. There's also a story that says, if you want to remember your dreams, you can take vitamins. So there's a special vitamin if you take it. You will remember your dreams better.

You'll wake up and know a lot of your dreams. Now, do you want to know all of your dreams through the night? I mean, sure, I guess. You want to wake up and know everything you dreamed about over the past five, six. As long as I got rest and it was a good dream. if you take B6 before bed, you will remember your dreams. Like, I don't like remember my thoughts in the last segment, much less my dreams from the entire. And I have some weird dreams.

It's like, here I come in on a purple elephant on a Wednesday morning, ready to eat a cupcake. Like, nobody wants to hear that. It's true. I also saw, I read that. And if you don't like to take supplements, you could also eat bananas and avocados before bed. It'll do the same thing. I also read you can eat cheesecake before bed. Ooh, I like that.

Yeah. Just makes you feel better until you wake up. Okay, we're live at the Rhyman Auditorium right now. A lot of these folks here got here really early this morning, and we appreciate that. Yeah. Caleb Lee Hutchinson from American Idol, the second place guy. He's going to come out and play funny dude, good singer, and there's a special twist as to what he's going to play and why he's going to play it. We do like special twists.

What? I don't know. I'm wondering what it is now. And we're going to do a live time of something good, right? Is that what the deal? Yeah. What did you say? Is everyone doing a live time of something good?

Uh-oh. No, it's just me. No, I mean, just lunch. Eddie, you're not getting in on that. I'm worried about lunchbox. We're live at the Riemann Auditorium right now. What we do right now is we do a segment called Tell Me Something Good, and we're going to do it now too, but we'll do a special Tell Me Something Good

because we are sitting in the most historic theater, in country music, in Nashville, Tennessee. We're sitting on a stage, and there are 24, six, eight of us on stage. There's Morgan number two, Mike D, Amy, myself, watch watch and Eddie. We're sitting around this stage like a half circle, looking out at hundreds, thousands, millions of our closest friends sitting out in the audience. You're looking at millions? Yeah, yeah, why not? Okay.

It's radio. Slight exaggeration. Millions here. They sound like millions, right, guys? And so here's to tell me something good. I just wanted to bring up someone I was talking to in the audience. I walked down and I was talking to some of the people to listen to the show. Here, put those on here.

She didn't even know she was coming up here. Nope. Talking to the microphone right there. What's your name? My name's Jenna. So this is Jenna. And why I thought Jenna would be cool to bring up is she's a fourth grade teacher. And I do love teachers, and I love how much teachers give.

Yeah, we do. And so what time did you get here? this morning? Well, my friend got here before me. Oh, you had a placeholder. What time did your friend get here? Oh, about 4.30. About 4.30 this morning? I got here at 5, though. Yeah, I'm not judging you. I'm just happy you're sitting next to me. What are you talking about? So, you teach fourth grade? I do. What's the most challenging part about teaching fourth grade? Oh, everything. All things. Yeah? It's draining. Yeah. Like, I don't know if I can have children of my own because I have 50 children at school.

You kidded out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I feel that way when I hang out with Amy's kids for a while. I'm like, kid it out. No, but. Just play. I just like.

Simonson is the best human I know on Instagram. Oh, my gosh. I can't. Amy's son is my hero. Yeah. Like, it's hard for me to find heroes because I go, oh, everybody's flawed. But not Amy's son. Nope.

He's still seven years old and... Loving life. Loving life. The dance moves. Yeah. Like, I try to reenact it. You try to do the booty dance. Oh, yeah.

I think the crowd would like to see that. Yeah. I'll show you all tonight at CMA Fest. Okay, okay. So you're going to CMA Fest? I was there last night. Yeah, who did you see last night that you saw was awesome? Jason was great.

Aldean, you got, you got, you, is like a cousin or something? Just Jason? Yeah, we're first-name basis. You know, Jay. Jay, Jay, Jay. Dan and Shay were amazing. Oh, yeah. They were really good.

Yeah. Well, as the tell me something good, we just wanted to acknowledge you for being a school teacher and how much we appreciate what you do. Thank you. Not only everybody on the stage, but everybody in the audience here. We all appreciate that you are, yeah. Well, I appreciate you. Oh, I appreciate.

I appreciate you. I appreciate you. So everyone, clap your hands for our friend here. Thank you. Yay. At the Ryman, we're bringing lots of guests up as well, and so I want to bring out and talk to my friend for a second here is Caleb Lee Hutchson from American Idol, second place guy here.

What up, buddy? How's it going? It's good. We just had your girlfriend up here. She's saying it was awesome. I saw that. I wonder if when you guys were first and second and they were about to announce the winner, and she's your girlfriend, it had just been announced.

If a little bit you were hoping she would win. Yeah, I think so. Good answer. Yeah, yeah. I mean, especially because she can hear what I'm saying right now. Yeah. Okay. And there's no win in saying otherwise.

Right, no, yeah. If I would have won, I would have had to hear about it for a long time. Are you ready to move to National and start a country music career? Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. So you're from Dallas, Georgia. Yes, sir.

No one's going to doubt the country in you, Caleb. Right. I mean, no, because sometimes people come to be like, I don't know, is that country? When you get up there in a second and play a song, they're going to be like, oh, yeah, for sure, that's country, for sure. So I said, hey, man, you can play any song you want. And Amy is wearing my George, my George straight t-shirt that fit me, and now it fits her perfectly, oddly. So she's wearing it today, and Caleb's like, I can play some George straight. Okay. So Caleb E Hutchson, everyone, you go and walk up there.

Okay. We should two-step while he's being. No, I'm not two-step. Why? No, right now. I want to hear him sing. I'm trying to take in the show. Caleb E Hutchins put his guitar on right now.

He, uh, second place American Idol. And he has a record that he made before American Idol called, it's a good name, country music. Yes, yes, that's the name of the record. Caleb, you ready up there? You ready up there? Yes, sir. From the Rhyman Auditorium, here he is live.

Caleb Lee Hutchinson, everybody. Hey, guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this I-Heart radio channel or podcast anymore. But you can't go to Bobby Bowman. com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. Wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now. And thank you for listening to the show. And sorry about all the legal stuff. Wow, they still are cheering. Nice. I'm just trying to, that's how much they love that.

They're still cheering. I'm trying to talk up here. That's nice. Hey, hey, hey. Nice work, buddy. That was good. Amy made the comment as he was playing. She goes, Caleb probably thinks that's old school George Strait. And I was like, I was like, yeah, it probably does. But that's not really old school George Strait, because old school George Strait's like early 80s. When were you born, Caleb? Like last month? Yeah, like last year.

Last year, like 19. Oh, really? You born in the 90s? I'm a 99, baby. I'm 19. Oh my goodness. It's cute. I know.

I have to do the math on that. I mean. I was graduating high school. How old are you? How old are you? How old? Yeah. I'm 19.

19. I can't even date him. No, he's too young for you. No. Definitely not. Yeah, the crowd is here. They're here and there fired up. They have a lot of energy.

Hey, so we're sitting on a stage at the Ryman Auditorium. We're on the main stage. And just from left to right, it's Eddie and Lunchbox. And then it's myself and Amy in the middle table and the Mike D and Morgan number two. And we're all sitting up here with all of our friends who woke up really early this morning. So let me say that if you're listening, like, I appreciate you, but everybody in the audience that got here so early, I appreciate you. Story number one, Susan Allen was driving around when a bunch of poop fell from an airplane above them.

And it comes to her sunroof and hits them all in the face. She looked up and saw the plane flying overhead and realized that they just dropped their poop from the plane. That's not cool. So they went and got it in a shower immediately. Her eye swelled up to the size of a golf ball from Pink Eye. Oh, gross. What are the odds that's going to land in her sunroop hole? Yes.

Sunroopole. Not just hit the car. Like, I don't know. Or hit any car, but to land in the sunroopole. Right through. Right there in her eye. Lunchbox, would you sue? Absolutely.

You would own that airline. Would you? Absolutely. If they're dropping poop on you, you better believe you're going to have your own jet and your own pilot. Would you suffer through the flu? This is a different story for $3,500. Yes. Yeah.

Scientists offer to pay guests at what they're calling hotel influenza in a desperate bid to develop some sort of vaccine. So it's a little more than just getting the flu. It's also getting in the flu and letting them do tests on you. Yeah, so you could be a part of helping people. Or you could grow a third ear on your chin whenever they're testing. Or you're getting paid to lose five pounds. Yeah.

You could be the cure in 20 years. You'd be like, who cured the flu? Lunchbox, yep. You know that Amy did one of those where she went in and had her wisdom teeth worked on. Yeah, and I got paid. And she got paid. But the thing was, they didn't tell her whether or not she was going to be the one that got the placebo. Like, you didn't know if they were actually giving you medicine.

You got a pill. You didn't know if it was the placebo or the pain medicine until, you know, you were in pain or not. And so how much did you get paid? Do you remember? $75. But I got my wisdom teeth out for free. That was the more, I didn't have dental insurance, so I didn't, so it was a study that I signed up for. And by the time it was all said and done, I got a $75 check.

But I wasn't in the whole any money. And I had all my teeth gone. And luckily you didn't get the placebo, which means no drug at all. Yeah, I got the pain meds. I was knocked out. The majority of people now use their phone on the toilet. Now, just by a share of sounds from the audience, how many of you use the phone on your toilet.

Liars. Yeah, the ones that didn't clap, you're lying. Correct. According to a new survey, 69% of people say they use their phone while on the toilet. Now, here's the reason I don't for a lot of times. I'll use my laptop because there's no chance of it falling in between my legs. So I'm not against using things on the toilet, but I'll just put my laptop across

my knees because it can't fall in the toilet because I know mine's going to slip through my legs and hands and go right in. And then I'm not going in for it. That's the thing. Like, I'm done. I'm going to have to get the flu to get some money to pay for a new phone. So that's why I don't do it. So do you use the phone in the toilet?

I mean, yeah, but I... Don't ask them to cheer, then you not make it cheer either. Amy? Be honest. I have also dropped my phone in the toilet and I go out for him. I mean, wouldn't you? Yeah. You would.

I feel like you're saying you wouldn't, but you would. No, no, one time one of my friends was at a festival and he dropped his phone in the porta-pot. idea, no. That's a whole different story. Yeah. That's different. That's like other people. You can't leave your phone behind.

Yeah, you can. No. And a port-a-potty, that phone doesn't even exist anymore. The second it falls out of my hand, it's like, ooh, that, never, I don't know that guy. That's a good life. It's a piece of crap now. Yeah. Literally.

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. Eddie's playing to the crowd. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Love it. Love the energy. Love everybody here.

We're live from the rhyme. If you're just turning your radio on, we're sitting on a stage. I thought no one would come. I'm going to tell you what was in my heart. I thought we would do this show and that a couple friends from Arkansas and the front row would come. Lunchbox's wife would be here. She didn't even show up.

And then I don't even know. I don't know. But there are people here. There are a lot of great people here. Thank you so much, everybody, for coming to this. And so what I wanted to do was bring out some artists that I love, because I love how they sound and I love their attitudes. And so when it was like, we were lining it up,

and it was obviously Chris Jansen, and I wanted to bring in Maddie Poppy and Caleb for American Idol because they became friends with them, and they were great. And then I wanted to bring out Cassie Ashton, who is awesome. Let's bring her out right now.

Cassie Ashton, everybody. Yeah. And so you were so good on our show that we use your clips and promo clips that run just throughout the day. Do you ever hear them where you're like, I'm Cassie Ashton? My grandma said, go to college.

Oh, my gosh. And I was like, for what? To be an accountant? Read a book? Who needs books? I'm Cassie Ashton. Yeah. It makes me laugh, though.

because like when you're doing interviews, you kind of know what you're saying? And then when you hear it back, you're like, I said that. That's my whole show. That's how I feel every day when I leave your thing. I'm like, I said that. And everybody's like, I heard that.

I'm like, no, you didn't. Don't say that. This is a book that you just handed me. And it's a book, it's pictures of crap taxidermy. Yes, that book was on the coffee table of the writers, like when they wrote the song. And that's what inspired the song. Like Natalie Hemby, it's a joke with Natalie.

she's so good at writing that you could give her a title like toilet paper and like she would win a Grammy like a beautiful song about toilet paper and how all the intricate makes your butt feel just right you're like I get that now I get that yeah yeah I didn't really think about it that way yeah so she literally saw the title and was like you'll be my texidermis and texidermae and they were like oh yeah let's just write that so we can go to lunch and they did and now you sing the crap out of it I love it thank you I remember talking talking to you about it before it was put out for people to consume. And I was like, that's the song. Like, that's the one that's going to take you and it's going to be the first big one. You feel pretty good about it? Yeah, I love the song. I love it. It perfectly connects, like,

actually how I grew up, like, deer seasons bigger than Christmas in my family, but actual, like, swagginess that I like to carry on a day-to-day basis. So, yeah, I love it. You grew up in a small town of Missouri. California, Missouri. Population was. 4,000 people. Do they know you're making it? trying to make it, do they keep up with you? A little bit, I think. I think some of them avoid keeping up with it. Or my dad says he can't go into town now and like hang out in the grocery store too long

because people will come up and be like, I saw her on the Facebook. And he's like, yeah, cool. Well, they have a song about them now too. Yeah. So Cassie Ashton is going to play you guys taxidermy if you want to hop up there. One of my favorite new artists right now, she's in the class of 2018. clap your hands, everybody live at the Rhyman. For one of my favorites,

Cassie Ashton, everyone. Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this Iheart radio channel or podcast anymore, but you can go to Bobbybones.com to see it. We hate that we had to take it down. It wasn't our decision, but I just wanted to keep you up,

and we wanted to keep up as much as possible. So go to bobbybones.com to watch or hear whatever you're missing right now, and thank you for listening to the show. And sorry about all the legal. stuff. How about that? How about that?

Wow. That was awesome. Cassie Ashton. Wow. I told you Cassie and I, before I knew she was Cassie Ashton, the artist, I didn't even know she could sing. There was this girl in the gym that was always talking. Just talking.

And I remember going to Jared, my friend who also teaches me at a box. And I was like, who's the girl that's always talking? I can't even work out without talk, talk, talk, talk. Turns out it was Cassie Ashton. Oh, you know, you got to crap talk that bag if you punching it. You got to act like that bag took your lunch money and threatened your dog. And like you are, you're here to get some justice. What are you assigning to that bag?

She took your dog? You know, you got to like get into it. To punch hard. I want to try to like knock my trainer over. But he took your dog? No one's ever taking my dog. And your lunch money? Yeah.

Are you 11? I love to eat. I love to eat, so if you take my lunch money, I'd be real mad. And I love my dog, so, you know, got to pick the important thing. Cassie, Ashton, stream, download. If you see her, you know, buy a T-shirt, buy some merch. You're going out? You're doing stuff on the road or what?

You're doing stuff yet? Not yet. All I know is they've got big plans for you. You'll be the first to know. All right. Thank you. They cheer because I'm going to be the first to know. Woo!

Yeah, yeah. What means you'll be the first to know? All day long, y'all are going to be singing. Yeah. That's right. We're at the Riemann Auditorium. So to everybody watching here, we appreciate you guys getting up so early. We have about, you know, 15 or so more minutes live from the stage.

A couple of things I wanted to address is that tomorrow we are playing in the City of Hope charity softball game. Correct. Oh, no. Well, hold on. No. Here's the thing. No. We're playing in this softball game and we do every year.

And my goal is always not to get injured first and to win. second. And so we're playing tomorrow. I'm captaining the team. And they said, hey, you need to have your walkout songs. And so Eddie's playing in Eddie's walkout song tomorrow. He's requested, All I Do is When. Yeah, what up? I knew that's where this is going. What do you mean? I knew it.

Eddie, stop. How cool would that be, though? Like, threaten the other team. It's not your song. But he's Mr. All I Do Is Well. Okay, by show of the room, Eddie. We have a crowded. You are so annoyingly stupid. Stop. So, who is Mr. All I Do is Win? Now, I'll give

you two people. First of all, Eddie stand up. If you think Eddie is Mr. All I Do is win, clap your hands. If you think Lunchbox is Mr. All I Do is when. So, there you go. I think they've spoken, Eddie is. Is that a sound effect? Yeah. No, Ray's playing in audio. No, he's not. See, that's the problem. They have spoken. They know who the true one is. Hang it. Okay. You want to keep posing. Keep posing.

Did you give a song, lunchbox? I'm not playing. Oh, well, there we go. Oh, it's easy. Then it's settled. Then I got it. No, no. Why aren't you guys? I'm going to be out of town. Oh, my goodness. Well, Eddie, then you can have this song. I was going to give it to him first. So the biggest week of country music in our city and he's going out of town. Got it.

Oh. Eddie. That makes sense, though. Wow. Clearly has some chance to be. Eddie, it's a Saturday and a Sunday. I was here all week for all the other stuff. All right.

I fulfilled my obligations. All right. We're going to have to take this one off fair. To the streets. Backstage. Do you guys know, so they have these bird scooters around town. get on the scooter and it just drives you automatically. They're like electric scooters. I've ridden them. Yeah, so they pulled them. They're gone.

Confiscated. As of now, they pull. And I saw lunchbox driving one down the street on, I think Morgan number two's Insta story. And they fly. Yeah. They go 20 miles an hour. It was awesome. A scooter. Like, you can fall off this thing easily. And nobody has to wear a helmet. No, you're supposed to wear a helmet when you fill out the waiver. It says, I will wear a helmet. It does. I have never seen a single person with a helmet on. I saw one yesterday, but they don't provide the helmet. I'm not going to walk around with an extra helmet in my pocket. Just in case you see it heard. How much do they cost? It is a dollar to activate it and then it's 15 cents a mile. So like when I wrote it, I wrote it for like 20 minutes.

It cost me $2.40. It was great. What a cheap ride. It's cheaper than Uber. Yeah. Except you're outside and sweating. Yeah, no, I didn't sweat one bit. You're in the wind.

You're going 20 miles an hour. Then you smell like the outside. Yeah. Oh, how terrible. Smell like nature. Man, nature. Weren't you riding it downtown? Yep, that's nature.

And I'm more like car exhaust. There was trees there. Are you guys here in the audience? Is this cool for you guys to watch this radio show? Because it's really cool for us to be able to sit up here and that you guys would come and wake up so early in the morning and come hang out with us. And we've tried to get out and, you know, I went up to the balcony and met a bunch of people. Went out in the middle.

So, you know, I'm going to say it again. I'll say it again before I leave. But I really appreciate you guys coming out and caring so much to wake up early and stand in line and watch the show. So thank you so much. It's super awesome. And I love looking out and seeing like all the bees. team shirts and Pimp and Joy and other things that it's just a true representation of like y'all you know being here with us yeah you know thank you so thank you so much yeah so we're here

and it's been a live show all morning for the past couple hours we've been hanging out with a lot of our friends you can check out the instagram and see a lot of people that are hanging out with us this morning you know what's funny was a little big town was before we came over here we were with them in the studio and we're doing these Pimp and Joy shirts the retro Pimp and Joy shirts the retro Pimp and Joy shirts And we've drawn five names now. Yeah. And so a service dog costs $20,000. And what we've decided to do as a show and with you guys as a team is we put these retro pimping joy shorts out.

And we had $80,000. And it's $20,000 a service dog. And what happens is these dogs, they're trained and they're given to our military who come back with PTSD or brain injuries, even physical injuries. And every $20,000, we've drawn in name. And Amy has a dog named after her. And Raymond, our producer, Ramundo, has. a producer, a dog named after him. Morgan number two has a dog named after her.

And then you. And then I have one. Yeah. So Little Big Town drew this morning, and the fifth dog was named Eddie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Woo! I made it. But what are we going to do about lunchbox?

Because he needs a dog. Yeah. Well, if it hits... Oh, it's so annoying. But you drew too. I understand that. Are you claiming cheating? I feel like you probably put glue on the other side.

slips and right glued mine to the bottom of the hat. I don't know. That's not the case. We just need to get another dog. So bobbybones.com, if you want to get a really cool shirt, we don't keep any of the money. I heard there was the incident last night where, well, Amy says, and I think Eddie said that lunchbox was rude to a listener. Oh, yeah, the phone number thing? Let me let Amy tell the story first. Here we go ahead. Um, well, a listener asked for his phone number, and he straight up was like, no. And he walked away. Yeah, the listener, he was a big fan. Big fan.

He's like, oh, dude, we got to hit the bars together. You know, I got to get your number. We'll hook up. And I'm like... And how'd you handle that? I said, no. I said, you can hit me on Twitter. You're not getting my phone number.

And I walked away. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then these two are like, you are so rude. They asked for your number. You should give it to them. Yeah. Like, what in the world? Like, why would I give some random dude, my phone number?

I was like, here's his number. 210. No, you were not. I mean, it was. If it's so rude to me, Eddie, go ahead and say your phone number. No. No. Hey, do you guys want Eddie's phone number?

Oh, they want your phone number. All right, I'll give it to one person out there. Okay. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. I went out a minute ago and gave all the people want phone number. You did?

Yeah, I just handed out a little slip. There's no way. No, I think it's just the way you say it sometimes. How did he say it to the person? It could just be more like, hey, you know, really don't want to give out my number. I hope you understand. We don't really know each other. But thanks for listening.

But he's like, no. No, are you crazy? You can DM me on Twitter, but... No, I didn't ask for a DM. I just said, tweet me. Dang, is what it's like? No. Not even sliding into the DM?

I didn't need nobody. I didn't need him sliding in my DMs. I said, let it be public. Okay. I just got a message that Little Big Town donated to Pimp and Joy because they came in this morning and they drew Eddie's name. And so Lunchbox and Mike V haven't been drawn yet. So they just donated.

Amazing. Yeah, so a big shout out to Little Big Town. Yes. So I got my dog. know how much. It's $20,000. But the next dog gets drawn between you and Mike D. No, no.

No, no. We don't change the rules in the middle of the game. So that happened. I texted one of my friends. He hit me this morning. He goes, hey, the show at the rhyme, it sounds good. Like, are there really people there or did you pipe in that noise? That was the question.

And I said, no, there really are people here. And he said something, and I sent him back an emoji, like a pound sign. Yeah. And he was like, hey, why do you send emojis? You're a dude. Exactly. Well, this is the great part about a live audience. here as I can ask them. Yeah, I kind of love having this, like,

instant feedback. This is the greatest thing. And so, did you guys see my boss, by the way, come sit down beside me and lecture me during that last song? Yeah, that's what was happening right then. He was like, you know, actually, if you'd pronounce your T's a little bit or the ratings would go up 0.3%. And so that's what I deal with, like right in the middle of a second that he sits down and tells me. And so, but you guys are here. Do you think when a guy emojis that's fine or that's not fine? Okay? So if you think a guy emojiing is fine, clap your hands. If you think a guy emojiing is weird because he's a guy, clap your hands.

Just lunchbox. Okay, good. Yeah, it's no big deal. You think that's a weird thing? Yes, I don't think I've ever said an emoji in my life. I don't even know. You guys talk about all these, oh, look at this one. It's like a cucumber eggplant.

I don't even know what that means. And half the time. Hold on. Oh, no. Oh, whoa. That's not the one that Bobby says. Hold on. What is it?

what he said. Oh my God. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. We don't sit around and talk about the egg plant emoji. No, we don't. Never. Maybe that's what gets sent to you by your buddies. When they slip into the DM?

Yeah. When those guys. And people, whenever they send the emoji, I have a hard time figuring out what they are because I don't look at them enough. I'm like, what is that mean, huh? Clap. So you have a hard. I mean clapping. You have a hard time whenever the emoji, the, whatever the egg plant emoji comes, huh?

Oh, yeah. They don't really mean eggplants. They don't. Okay. What do you mean? It doesn't mean eggplant. Okay. The Bobby Bones Show.

Live from the Riemann Auditorium. All right. So, this will be our last segment from inside the Riemann, and we're going to do Amy's Pile. Right now. She has her stories. The first ever live pile. Here we go. Live Pile.

Here's Amy's Pile of Stories. Bobby, you'll love this one because I can't even believe that it's one out of three. The fact that someone out of three actually depends on this for financial. income or their financial plan in life, one out of three people plan on just inheriting money for their parents. That's how they put it on their money. Is their money already in the bank for that, or do they just plan on their parents? They just want to inherit money from their parents after they die. I don't know if it's like- Don't we all? Yeah. What? Like we would all like that. Why wouldn't we? Yes. Why wouldn't you? If you have rich parents? No, they don't even, well, I guess some of it could be

life insurance. You don't even have to be rich, but. Yeah. Do you have life insurance? No, who going to get it. Don't ask him that. Yeah, no, right now, no. She's like, really? Amy's still mad she's not in my will. Yeah. All right. What's next? It's actually not nice at all. So this is amazing. The woman, you know, we always talk about if you win the lottery, how you show up, like, you don't want your name and face out there because then all of a sudden you win a million dollars and you got people coming out of the woodwork trying to be your friend

and family. Well, she went to accept her check, but she wore like this fake emoji mask. You couldn't see your face. Hey, by the way, was it the egg plant emoji? Because that'd be cool. No. Why, she wearing salad on her face. Wait, wait, hold on. Let me see if Lunchbox knows what this emoji means. Okay.

It was like the smiley face, but it was winking. So what does it mean? Winking. It means wink. Oh, see, you are getting an emoji. You got it. There you go. He's getting the hang of this.

Yes. Good job. I also understand the poop emoji. I got that one too. I see that sometimes. But those are the ones I get. Okay. So, I, let's being of lunchbox.

I thought he might be into this. He's always looking for ways to make extra money. And you could be a hot tubologist. Hot tubologist. Ooh. Yes. Okay. Tell me more.

Okay. You could actually get paid to test and review hot tubs. Yes. That's the easiest job in the world, you chill. Not only will they provide you with the hot tub, lazy spa, but you'll get paid $650. So you get a free hot tub and then you make money on top of that? Yeah. And you can add hot tub.

Obologist to your resume. Okay. Yeah, I thought you might be into it. So if anybody's looking for extra income, Google it. This is our last break to do from the rhyme and the stage of the Riemman.
