I'm good. You in Alabama? Yeah, a mobile. Man, listen, nice the summer down there. Oh, it's nice, isn't it? I love it so much. Love the beach. Love the beach.

What can I do for you? I was just going to tell you my daughter and I listen to you every morning on the way to take care of school. And we love your show. And we've never watched Dancing with the Stars before until you came on. And she just loved your floss move. She does it all the time. You know, Eddie, our video producer was telling me, because I did the, if you're new to this show, right now, I'm currently on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. I'm going back and forth from Nashville to California.

and at the end of one of these fancy dances, as I called them, a fancy dance called the Fox Trot, which I don't know what this stuff is, I bust out the floss, which is the backpack kid move. And there was some controversy because it was a fancy dance, and the people that are diehard dance fans are like, you don't disrespect the dance like that. And so I'm with Eddie, he goes, oh, the kids love the floss. Every kid in America is like, I love this guy. Whoever this guy is, I love him. Hopefully they all have email accounts and phones and they can vote, vote, vote.

Yeah. What did your kid say, Michael Ann, about that? Oh, she loved it. We've got it on the DVR recorded and we watch it over and over. Well, thank you very much. Well, thanks for calling. Mostly just thanks for listening to the show and hope you guys can spend some time listen to the show and bonding over, you know, whatever we're talking about or music that we're playing. And yeah, thanks for taking time to call this morning. Thank you. All right. See you later. You too. Here's a question. How far would you travel for a good meal? Like normally? Like, what's the max you're going to drive if it's like have a good dinner with your husband? When I was in college once I was craving something And some friends and I hopped in a car

And drove an hour and a half Yeah So that's crazy but like normally How far will you drive for a good meal? I'd go an hour You would Yeah If my husband and I were wanting to go on a date

Because sometimes even if there's traffic You may sit somewhere for an hour So I could handle an hour Probably no more than that Lunchbox? 20 minutes Oh That's about where I'm probably 25 to 30

What if it's a place you really really Really really want to go? I don't really really really want to go anywhere that far But you don't ever really crave some Something like so bad and you can only get it at this place. I can't think of it. Like I love Cracker Barrel. Well, yeah, but there's one of those every.

But I'm thinking like what would I crave? I love, if I really want a chicken fried steak. Okay. Like Cracker Barrel to me has the best chicken fried steak. So maybe I would do 45 minutes for just because that's my favorite chicken fried steak. Okay. But really probably half an hour. Most people will travel about 30 minutes to have the meal that they really want.

That's about the average. Unless you're Amy apparently who's going to drive all the way across the country. I was just saying You said a special date night with my husband I would do that And then you're in the car with them hanging out Yeah Good for you guys

No kids though in your mind In your fantasy land right Like no kids on your special date I guess if we're doing that Depends on what I'm going to eat I'll take anybody Because the dance party comes up in a few minutes It's now time for a slightly early version

Of Amy versus Lunchbox I'll ask Amy three questions that most dudes would get. I'll ask lunchbox three questions that most ladies would get. And we'll see who does the best. And Amy, you're up first. The Major League Baseball postseason is underway.

To make the other ones feel good Is that really what it is? He's so dumb. Amy, you made me ask you actually a question And this is where it went He thinks they put an ugly one on a run That's mean To make the other ones feel better

That's why they call her the mule Oh, it's a shoe It's a shoe You're so dumb I thought that's why he didn't want to ask it No Well, I don't even know. I don't either.

And I don't agree with that. No. I'm just laughing because it's so dumb. Right. And he really thought that might be it. He goes, oh no. He's like, oh, I'm surprised you asked me this. I know the answer.

He's like, I've been sitting on this one. It's a little sensitive, but I'll say it. Amy's up eight to six. Coming up at the top of the hour, the Friday morning dance party. Mix that up. Tim McGraw will be in this morning. We do have a good one. That is not what a mule is

Because they don't have any good villains in Marvel. Is that what it is? And they're still not going to have a good one after this one, apparently. All right, is that it, Morgan number two?

Nice jam right there. Good. It's time for the good news. With Bobby. Tell me something good. If you lose your dog for. three, four days, a week or so, it kind of just stinks because your dog's probably not coming back.

Yeah, probably not. You know what I mean? Like, after a couple of days, you just have to assume they're gone. It's been more than five years since this weiner dog disappeared. After five years, she was reunited with her family. That's amazing. The pet's now 17 years old. Was discovered by an animal control officer in a parking lot 20 miles from where she was

missing. The animal control officer noticed the older dog who couldn't hear her. really see because the dog was like running into things, found the dog microchiped, like scanned it and found the family. I don't know how it survived five years. I know. It's like, what did you eat? But the family's like, we for sure

thought the dog was gone forever. Now the dog's back after five years of being gone. Isn't that crazy? Love it. Yeah, me too. And that's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. Bobby Bones Show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes to us from

Suitland, Maryland. A man tried to break into a fast food restaurant, but he didn't realize it was bulletproof glass. He took a brick, throws it, boom! Hits the window, bounces back, knocks him out. Oh, wow. So they find him just on the ground? Yeah, just found him on the ground. I'm lunchbox.

That's your bonehead story of the day. Bobby Boom. Come on. Hey, Shay in Las Vegas. How are you? Hi. Good morning to you. Amy. Say hi to hi to Shay.

Hey, Shay. Hi, Amy. How are you guys this morning? We're awesome. What's up with you? What can we help you with? Um, shocker, it's another dancing with the stars question. And that's okay.

Listen, I purposefully was like, hey, I don't think I'm going to talk about that show a whole lot, but that's what everybody's calling about. And so I don't mind. I'm actually into it. So, yeah, go ahead. Ask question. Well, you're doing great. But also, I want to know if you have any input on the costumes you wear and if you get to do like a trial dance in them before you get out on the floor or just tell me how the costumes come into play. Well, I can mention my last one where I wore a magician cape and Jack.

it with no shirt underneath. Did you see that one? Yes, I saw that one. I feel like that's the one you're referring to specifically. You just don't want to say that one. So they said, hey, here's the theme. It's Vegas night. And then my partner, Sharna, comes up, she choreographs the whole thing. And then she comes up with the idea for the costumes. And then it was like, hey, do you want to wear a magician costume? I was like, yeah. And they just love to make things as big and bold as possible. And they were like, well, you do it without a shirt on? And I was like, what do I care? I'm goofy.

Who cares? Yeah, sure. Yeah, so it was a jacket. It was a jacket with no shirt underneath it. It's always on TV with one. And they don't put the rhinestones on to right before the show. So they stone, they make it out of the, I watched. They like bedazzle it right in front of you? Well, first of all, they cut it and make it in front of you.

They take the fabric, they make it all out of the fabric, and then they put the stones on last minute. And you do get to do a rehearsal in it that day. Cool. So to make sure. And it's fit exactly to you. Yeah, it's the whole thing. What do you think of that shirtless magician? look?

I thought you looked wonderful. I think we should do that look more often. Oh, hey. Just like on a Saturday, wear that costume. Yeah, that's it. What's up with you today? Anything good? Anything good with you today?

Nope. I'm just headed to work, and I just said, I did to call in. I've called in a few times before, so I was like, I'll give it another shot. So, yeah, I really wanted to ask about the costumes and how that comes about, if you have any input. So that's really cool. I didn't know that they made those in front of you. Yeah, they do.

You pick out the fabric and you make the costume and, you know, next week's Monday, it's only one show this week. It'd be interesting because I don't have a big elaborate costume. It's supposed to be like me as a kid. So I can't really say much else. Okay. I got to see how this is going to play out.

Yeah. So, oh, thank you for the call. Shea. Thanks for listening on the Bull and Vegas. We appreciate you. You're welcome. Just one more thing. Yeah.

I have to watch Dancing with the Stars on Hulu. Yeah. I only fast forward and watch yours. And I watch your segment and then I'm done. I was like, okay, I don't need to see anyone else. I don't hate that. I'll be honest. I don't hate that.

So, all right, thank you, Shay. Have a nice day. Thanks for calling. See you later. The Bobby Bone Show. Having some friends over tonight. Just friends with a TV show? Yeah.

Because they're not used to Nashville. They're fancy L.A. folks. I know. What are you going to do? Well, I'm just going to have dinner over at the house. But I was reading this story about if you have people over at your house, like a party. I wouldn't say it's a party tonight. You're just having a dinner.

I'll tell you, I've never used my kitchen table, though, for dinner. Or my dining room? The dining room table? Whatever. There's no difference to me. Wow. You're going to have people like right when you walk in your house, that table to the left that you just like walk past every day you're going to eat there? Yeah, it's to the right.

Oh, to the right. I mean, I meant when you're right, yeah, you're right. But when I would I ever use my dining room table, you know? Yeah, I know. I eat in my bed. You should, yeah. 95% of my meals, I just take to my bedroom and put in my bed and eat in my bed. Yeah, but you can't have all your L.A. friends in your bed.

Well, it's two people. Okay. It's my dance partner and my producer. And then anybody else want to come? Ramon, do you want to come? Friday night. Tonight. Tonight.

Tonight. You and your girl are welcome to come. Friday night, party at home. Think about it. We'll talk about it. If you're having a party, you have 19 minutes to make a good impression or people think your party's crappy. Oh, wow. From the minute that you start, any party.

You better offer someone a drink within the first seven minutes. They're there. And then if you haven't, the guests expect to be entertained within the first five minutes. Like, conversation. Wow. Okay. You got to, Bobby, right when they get there, conversation game on, you need to be like, Anybody need to drink?

I got you. Have drinks set out. Are you going to have wine, tequila? I didn't even know who's coming at this point. I know you don't drink, but they might. So you need to make sure that, you know, you've got the goods. Like when lunchbox has a party, he has a tequila table at the front entrance. So as soon as you walk in the door, you take a shot.

That's what you need to do, bones. Literally, there are only three of us at the party so far right now. It's me, my dance partner and our producer. And Ramundo and his girl can come if you guys want to come. Yeah. That makes five. And then anybody else? Anybody else?

Yeah, but no kids. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I was already thinking about taking the juniors. Okay, fine, no kids. We'll figure it out, Amy, I guess. Eddie, you and your wife would come if you want to get a singer? Do you guys want to come? Let me try to figure that out and we'll do it.

All right. It's just an adult party. I don't even know what that means. You can't call it math. With L.A. people. You can see an adult party. But why not? Because it is.

It's an adult party. Fancy party. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds fun. Should I allow kids? No. I mean it'd be easier on...

You know, you have a night to enjoy. Eddie, you could be a lot easier if you could, but... I mean, you got the pool let the kids just go out back. It's night. No, I'm not letting kids run out at night. I'm supervikes in the pool. Jump in the pool.

No, no, no. So they say don't talk about politics. That'll be off the table tonight. And don't ask guests take their shoes off. What do you have a no-shoe policy? That's always weird to go over to somebody's house and they're like, hey, take your shoes off.

Yeah. Because in my house, we love their shoes on all the time. Uh-huh. I've thought about being that house because, I mean, how much cleaner would your house be if you allowed no shoes? But then, yeah, it's just... It's always awkward to take your shoes off

in a place that's not comfortable. Anyway, I'm doing that tonight. Anybody wants to come, you can't. You have a baby? Yeah, I mean, I can just leave it in this crib. Your baby? Yeah. We'd be gone for a couple hours.

He'll just sleep. He thinks he can just leave his baby and wrap. What do you call it? What do you call it? Swaddled. Leave in a swaddle and get out of there. That's not sure. The Bobby Bone Show

Tim McGraw in studio in the next few minutes So we're all big Tim McGraw fans Eddie's a massive Tim McGraw. Huge. I'm sitting on the chair that he gifted me. That's right. He gave you that chair. This chair right here. That's right. Tim McGraw coming in. If you like Tim McGraw, hang out.

Superstar in studio in just a few minutes. Over to Amy now, because Tim's coming in and we're going to get to the joke a little early. Morning, Corny. What do you call your eighth broken bone? What do you call your eighth broken bone? Numero. Spanish

Okay, okay, there it is, there it is, come on. Numero Alto. That was the morning corny. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Vicki Chase made plans to take her 86-year-old mother to Las Vegas because her mom had never been and it was on her bucket list.

They booked the flights. They show up the airport. Only problem is they're late. They missed their flight. 86-year-old grandma taking a while to get to the airport. It's going to cost them $1,000 to change their flights to later flights.

A Southwest Airlines employee hears it, says, listen, I'll let you have two of my buddy passes. Go fly on Southwest for free. Oh, wow. Okay, that's amazing. Wow. That's pretty cool, huh? I mean, that is customer service at its finest.

And so 86-year-old grandma went to Vegas and played the slots. There you go. And that's what's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Hey Bobby Bones here. If you love puzzle games, but get bored from crushing candy, it's time to try. The ridiculously fun puzzle game, Best Fiends.

I'm just making a bed here. That's Friends Without the R. Best Fiends. The Friday morning conversation with Tim McGraw.

Hey, look here. What about, buddy? Look at this guy. Good morning. Coming in here in his half golf but half athletic underarmor shirt. Like, I don't even know what this is here. Are you in the mood to run? Are you golfing?

Are you just chilling? Just chilling, man. It's just chilling, yeah. Absolutely. How you been, bud? I've been golfing, that's for sure. I've been good. How about you?

Yeah, good, working? You're doing a little bit of everything, right? Listen, I do everything because I don't really do anything well. So I try to, I'm like the human pawn shop, that's what I call myself. I don't really have anything great, but I got a lot of stuff. Well, that's a good way to be. That's about you. You got a new song, Neon Church.

Been playing that this morning. Let me play a little clip of this for everybody in case they're just turning it on. Tim McGrath here, here's Neon Church. Yeah, what I'm going on with that. It was fun, man. It was fun making this record. The lyric right off the bat. I mean, when you hear, I need Jesus or I need whiskey, right off the bat, you're kind of hooked and want to know where the story.

he goes. Just such a well-written song all the way through. There's not a word that's misplaced in this song. It's just was so good. And then we wanted to build just a big epic sounding record around it. You know, it's funny, you want to lean forward and you want to push the envelope and come up with sounds that are cool and progressive and, you know, push yourself vocally. But at the same time, you wanted to have a familiarity to it and something that's really cool and a little bit of retro. And when we were laying the tracks down, we listened to some prints, listen to some journey a little bit, a little bit of Eagles to try to get some of these

ideas of tones. And man, Michael Landau, who played the lead guitars on this, I mentioned Purple Rain and passing, and he just sort of just threw into some, threw down on Prince guitars, and those things just lighted up. Yeah, you can hear a bit of that. It's funny you say that because that texture, that tone,

well, it's in that. It's in there. It bites, man. It bites good. And it's, you know, and the song is one of those things that when you're playing, I come up playing clubs, and when you play these clubs and these honky talks, you see so much a life pass in front of you. You know, you see so many different vignettes

and so many different things going on in people's world, right? Especially if you're an artist, you're sitting up there and you observe all this kind of things because that's what enhances your art and what drives your art. You see people going through some of the worst times than their life, some of the best times in their life, some people are lost, some people who are trying to get lost.

You see all that stuff. And I think this song has some angst in it and the tension in it. And I wanted the track to have the same tension that the vocal and the lyric has. With Faith being such a great singer, does she ever try to give you voice lessons? She gives me a voice lesson every time she sings. Boy, I don't know that she's giving me voice lessons. She certainly, I'll ask for her opinion on songs, you know, what songs sound like. and she might tell me sometimes that I'm, well, you're not, you don't sound natural there,

you don't, it doesn't sound quite like you're believable there and tell me things like that. But she gets what I try to do, which is to really deliver an honest lyric. And sometimes that's, God, sometimes that's harder than to sing well. Whenever you're about to go on, because if I go on, I'm going to do stand up or, you know, I do my vocal things, whatever it is to warm up. Do you have any type things that you do right before you go on? No, I probably should.

I don't do that. But what I do is we're always goofing around like in the hallway or in the dressing room and playing and we'll play, gosh, 10 or 15 songs. Either we'll go down the list of our 70s classic country or 70 classic rock, 70s classic rock and we'll do harmonies

and just sing all the time. That's how we warm up, just singing and playing around and goofing off. And trying to remember who can remember what songs. Okay, that's funny. So you talk about remembering songs. You have so many hits. Do you remember them all, or do you have a prompter that helps out there sometimes?

I don't have a prompter, but I have heaths in my ears every now. And if I get a little lost, he'll give me a lyric cue and I'll find it. But I don't typically have that much problem with it, except for when there's a lot of new songs I'm learning. And then we're going back and doing a lot of old songs. For instance, after these two years of soul to soul, where we had just a few of my songs we've done, and then we did a lot of duets. Then I had to go back and do a show where it was an hour. hour and a half of all of my songs that I haven't done in two years. Now that's, at my age,

that's the time it sort of gets a little lost on you. But after a couple of times, you find them. And the good thing about having hits, too, is if you forget the words, all you can just hold the microphone out. That's the old trick. Yeah. Everybody else. Yeah. What about, do you ever have to Google Tim McGraw lyrics? Ask Tim McGraw, just to look and see. You ever Google that? No, but I have a lyric, like a stack, a big binder of all the lyrics that, if, Before a show, I try to refresh myself sometimes on the ones that I haven't done in a lot. Tim McGrath is here with us. Let's play, and we'll let you pick it, but let's play any hit and give us like a 20-second story about the hit that you want us to play now.

Just give us something. It could be anything from humble and kind to green grass. What would you like us to play right now that you can just share a little something with us about? Gosh, red ragtop, I think, is one. And we were, it was when I was working with my band at the time and we went up to Allaire Studios. And Red Ragtop was one of the ones that we kicked off one night and really sank into. And we really thought we had a special song that really told a poignant story. And it was always been one of my favorite records and still one of my favorite things to play live.

The Friday morning conversation with Tim McGraw. I love Tim McGraw. Oh, by the way, Tim's here. I do. I do. I owe Tim a dinner, too, and I don't know if you ever... You do. I do.

I don't know if you ever really want me to pay for it, though. Like, I would pay for it, but I never want to bother you with, hey, Tim, oh, you a dinner? dinner. I know you're always fishing and stuff. No, no. You just got to call me up, man. I know. I know. I call me up. Once you get through your dancing gig, come in town and we'll go to dinner. Dancing gig. Don't watch me dance, please, by the way. Don't watch any of that.

Well, sometimes you just can't avoid it. Don't watch any of that, man. Hey, here's the question now for you. I was watching you whenever Taylor Swift came to town, and you and Faith went out and you performed her song, Tim McGraw. Is it weird for you to sing a song about yourself? Well, it was because that's the first time I'd ever done it. It's weird enough to even listen to a song about yourself. But she asks us, I mean, Taylor, I'm a big fan of Taylor's.

I think she's fantastic. And I think the first thing I always say about Taylor, she's such a great songwriter. I mean, she's just really so good at tapping into what people want to hear and how to tell those stories. So when she asked Faith and I to do it, that was the first thought. It's like, how in the world am I going to go out and sing a song that's got my name in it? And of course, Taylor figured out the right spot for me to sing. and it was a lot of fun. I mean, I was in a pretty cool position.

I mean, I'm standing up there with Taylor and my wife. I mean, I didn't have to do anything but just stand there and watch those guys. I mean, I got pretty lucky in that spot. When was the first time that you heard that song? And obviously Taylor wasn't Taylor Swift yet, but that was the thing, right? Yeah, I heard it. I think I heard like a demo of it early on when she was sort of shopping around for producers. Seems like I heard a demo of it.

And then I heard the story that she had written it when she was sitting in math class. And that really made me feel good. What I heard was... It made me feel useful. Yeah, right, young? Yeah. I heard that it was originally called Randy Travis, but he was not into it.

And so... That has better ring to it, Randy Travis. Hey, listen, I do want to talk about your second song. You put two songs out, which is fantastic. I love this one, too. So tell me about thought about you. Well, it's such a poignant song, you know. And again, that's the Warren Boys that wrote that with Lee Miller.

You know, a lot of times when people put songs out especially they put two out, like maybe it's like a 60 sort of model with a new delivery system now, I guess. But when you put a A and a B side or something like that out, a lot of times it's the first single and then a song that you probably won't be a single down the road. It's just a song that's off the album that you kind of like that you put out with it. What I wanted to do was put a song out the same time as the single. That was a song that very easily could have been the first single. It was in a battle with this song to be a first single. And it was sort of an opposite sort of sound and story to the song that we were putting out as a singer.

So it gave you a little bit of a hint of some of the things that are coming down the pike on this album and the stories that we were trying to tell and sort of the sonic landscape we were trying to lay out. This song, it's rare to find a song that drives as hard as this one does. And it has got such an uptempo feel to it, but it has such a poignant lyric. And it paints a great sort of, it makes me think of where I grew up and how. how I grew up, and it makes me think of the people that were influential in my life and the moments that were influential in my life. And then at the end of it, it leaves it open for interpretation of about any kind of moment you want to put in there. But it's also written vaguely

enough that it can apply to just about anybody in anybody's situation and anybody's life growing up. It's just one of those rare songs that has all these elements that combine into one really great piece of art. And it's probably one of my favorite songs on the album, which is why It's coming with Neon Church. The Friday morning conversation with Tim McGraw. Tim, I was looking at your Instagram and you posted a picture of some food that you had cooked. You said it's my turn to cook, dinner is served. Did you really cook that meal because it looks really professional?

I did, man. I can cook. I can do things. Come on. Yeah, I can cook. I like to cook. I'm not as good to cook as faith is. She's a really good cook, but I'm pretty good.

I can handle just about anything. I mean, I'm not the best at following a recipe. Like I can follow a recipe to start with the first time through, and then it changes from then on it. I never cook it the same way twice. And it always turns out pretty good. I mean, I'm from Louisiana. Louisiana boys can cook. Yeah, that's true.

When you grow up in the South, it kind of gets passed down to you whether you like it or not. I'm from Arkansas, and I say I can't cook, but my grandma taught me a lot of things that I still can do. Absolutely. You could probably throw some peas and cornbread down. Let me ask you this, because whenever you put out the Spanish version of Humble and Kind, I wondered how much learning you had to do to get that right? And here's a clip of it. Here's humble and kind of Spanish. Nunca Telvita's Kimmer.

Well, it wasn't easy, I could tell you that. I mean, because the phrasing's so different. And, you know, there was a lot of sort of their translation isn't the same. So Nunca's Telveda, M.R. is never forget to love. It's really the translation that we came up with. I don't speak Spanish. And my accent's probably all over the place trying to sing the song.

But what I want to do is, you know, the song was, you know, the song was, about humility and kindness and had a world view and it was about sort of the video and taking in everybody who they are in the world and taking people for what, and accepting people for what they are. And I thought it's kind of hard to say that and not at least tempt to try a different language. And Spanish being one of the most spoken languages in the world, I just thought it would be, it's kind of disingenuous to not give it a shot anyway because of what the song says. what the video meant. And we went in and did it, and it took a little work, but we were very proud of the way it came out. Like I said, I think the passion's there and the meanings there and

the heart of what I was trying to do is there. The enunciations and the accent may not be exactly perfect, but I think it turned out well. But what is exactly perfect? That's where I'm out of my life. What is exactly, nothing? Nothing. Now, well, you know, my wife's pretty perfect. I got to say that. That's a good answer? That's a perfect answer to that question. Boom. Yeah, there it is. Hey, listen, Tim. You know I really enjoy you, man.

I enjoy when you're around. Me too, man. I like coming in here, seeing all you guys. Tim McGraw. He's got two new songs out today. World Premier Neon Church. Also play Thought About You. Both songs are out.

I like the guy. I don't know what else to say. I think I've said it all. I think Tim has said it all. And I'll let you go about your day doing your workouts and cooking your dinners and singing your songs. Man, I wish I was Tim McGraw. No, I think you're doing pretty good, Bobby Bones.

Thank you, man. It's always good to talk to you. Good to see you, buddy. Tim McGraw, everybody. Thank you. Back in the movie at the Bobby Bones show. Poppin Bones. I was just handed this story here.

It says, a frequent Starbucks customer shot a man who attacked a clerk at the coffee shop on Thursday morning. Official said that the attacker was a 37-year-old man, but another guy was in there and had a gun.

Guy attacked the clerk. He said, boom, popped him. Isn't that crazy? The man walked in, jumped on the coffee shop counter and began to attack a female clerk. Hit her on the back of the... I wonder what happened with this dude.

Hit her on the back of the head. Maybe he was trying to rob the place, huh? A frequent customer of the shop man in his late 60s saw what was happening and diverted the attention away from the clerk. The customer pulled out a gun and shot him once in the chest. Wow.

I mean, listen, there's some commitment to having to shoot somebody. Oh, yeah. But like crazy, not even just like running over and pulling them off and start punching them. Because, listen, I have guns. To shoot somebody, whoo-hoo. That's just instinctual at that point.

You're just pulling out your gun and going, I'm trying to save somebody. I'd probably just run. And I wouldn't even be involved in it. I'd be like, feet don't fail me now. I'm out of here. But yeah, the cleric is in fair condition. The attacker's in critical condition.

He's been upgraded. The customer who fired the shot is very cooperative. He did have a concealed weapons permit. Everything he did was right. That's just some commitment to actually pull that trigger on someone, man. And when you get your permit, that's what they tell you. If you want to shoot somebody, you have to be prepared and be okay with the fact that you could be taking their life. Like, you, yeah, be prepared.

Amy has her concealed license. I guess you did in North Carolina. I did. I got it in North Carolina. And then you never concealed. I did too. I did that carry. You did one time to get it.

Because like, I need to get it. So I have to walk into a store with my gun. And so she put in a fanny pack and then she looked like she had a corn cow on her butt. Because I was so nervous to walk. All she was going to a gas station. It was so funny. And she videoed herself, which was just all the recipe for a disaster.

Man, y'all, going to that driving range was or... Shooting range. Whatever. See, that's my point. Wow. Shooting range was a lot of fun. It really was, but that training course was no joke. I'm shocked

I passed. I mentioned on the show how I haven't seen many Disney movies. If any, I guess Coco is the only one, and that's only partial Disney, right? That's not full Disney. Pixar. It's like an ownership thing on that one. Well, I've seen Coco. Otherwise, I haven't seen any of these movies.

So this Toy Story song was stuck in my head all week, you know. You got a friend of me. This song's so good. I never even seen Toy Story, right? Oh, really? Is that a Disney movie? Yeah. Maybe another Pixar movie.

I think it's Pixar. You've got a friend in me. Do you know the song from the Disney movie? So name the Disney movie. Okay. Aladdin. See, chasing the harmony there. Yeah.

No one to tell us no or where to go. You don't know it? I know, a whole new world. That's all I know. That's the only part you know. Yeah. How about this one? It's off to work we go.

I just know that's some culture, you know? I've never seen Snow White. That's so cool. Have you? Yeah. That was really old, though. Oh, I've watched the Morese one. There may be some.

That's like the Gone with the Wind of Disney movies, right? Like everybody talks about it, but nobody's really seen it. No, my kids wanted to watch it one time. I literally fell asleep in like five minutes. Really? I hope, high home. It's off to work we go. I am going to download Little Mermaid though.

Yes. I have to fly back to California for Dancing with the Stars on Saturday night, I think. So I'm going to watch Little Mermaid. You're going to love it. But isn't that creepy an adult man sitting on an airplane? I was just thinking that. A little bit. a little mermaid by himself.

I literally had the thought of like, man, you know how you've always wanted to meet your mate, significant other girlfriend on a flight? Like, it's just not going to happen this play. Yeah. I mean, if you finally get a girl next to you, just save the movie for another time. You have to on Deadpool instead or what? Something. I plan on watching it there.

How about this one? Name the Disney movie. Oh, Amy knows the words to this. Oh, Amy knows the words to this. Oh, man, she's singing it. Perfectly. Is this the person? No.

What is it? Why do I know it? Wow. Whatever it is. My daughter loves it. Psycho. Oh. Oh.

What is it? Moana. Moana. Yeah. Yes. Anytime that one comes on or my daughter puts it on her tablet, she bolts out into song. Yeah. Very theatrical.

We end up, yeah. I got to watch. that mermaid. You totally do. It's so good. I just want to watch this so I can tell you guys if it's any good. Did you know how you wonder if things stand the test of time? Because I watched Star Wars. The first Star Wars, I was terrible.

Watch it like a year and a half ago? Oh, Little Mermaid's way better than Star Wars. My point wasn't that Star Wars is bad. It's that it was made in the 70s and I don't feel like it held up. I think it was a fantastic movie for its time. But you guys are going, Little Mermaid's still awesome. And that was 1989. Mermaid?

Wow. I mean, Bobby, I don't know if it stands as a test time. I'm having hope that it does, but I haven't seen it in a hot minute. Can I watch Moana? It's pretty good. It is. What's the story? So it's like a girl that's like based in Hawaii and it's superstition of the oceans.

There's like, it's cute. They're like big old cartoon people in their little hula skirts. Yeah, the rock is a character too. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Danny is on. What up?

Let's go over and talk to Danny who is in Virginia right now. Danny, what's up, buddy? How are you guys doing, man? We're good. Appreciate your calling. What's going on? Hey, not a whole lot. I'm a first time caller.

I just want to say thanks for taking your time to talk to me this morning. And I listen to you guys religiously every day, and I love the Friday morning dance party. It's awesome. We have one coming up in about 10 minutes. You know that, right? Yes, sir. Nine o'clock.

Yeah, so you're East Coast. So east time, nine o'clock. So how about this? Is there any song that you want to hear in the dance party? It's not often that I get to. to take requests, but you're on the phone. You love it. What can I put in the dance party for you? Think about it. Take a second. How about this? I'll put you on hold for like 30 seconds. Take a couple breaths. Think of a song. I'll come right back to you.

Yeah, time. Hey, Carrie in Florida. What's going on? Hey, good morning. Happy Friday. Hey, yeah, you too. Thanks for calling. Yeah, I had a quick question. I talked about it this morning. I was on hitting my snoo button for this third of time. How is Amy doing on her challenge? Is she getting her soon button or is she getting a Well, so what happened was is that Amy was snoozing every day four and five times. My whole life ever since I got an alarm probably. It's like, you're crazy, Amy, just wake up.

Like, set it later. Get good sleep and wake up. And we did an experiment where every day Amy didn't hit snooze for a couple weeks. And so now we're months after, and your update is... I don't press snooze anymore. And it's so great. Let me tell you, I feel better, I have more time in the morning, I make my bed.

What? I've never done that. Also, my husband loves me more. Not joking. Like, because he is not a snooze presser. And this, we've been married for almost 12 years. And so he was married to a chronic snoozer. And it caused unnecessary strain.

And now, you know what? We don't have that. And your relationship's so much better. Who knew? Yeah. Something so simple could help your relationship. But isn't that a great metaphor for relationships? Yes.

Not even just snooze, but something so simple, just putting a little effort into it, can make into something so much bigger and happier. I was about to say that. You know what? I was thinking another thing I could do for him is just be early, you know? Let's put up the breaks. You're doing good right now. Once you start doing too many things.

I mean, he already does it all right, so I guess. I mean, he doesn't press snooze. He's always on time. Yeah, good dude, good supporter. I'm like, okay. Carrie, what do you think about that? Well, I think it's great. I wish I had her willpower.

Listen, I know where you... And then I was wondering, too, like, if you were staying up late to watch Bobby, because that's my issue, because I'm staying up late to watch dancing with a circus because I can't miss it and the kids love it. So I was wondering if that is affecting it. Yeah, you just have to go for it. And then once you feel like Bobby suggested to me, do it a day at a time. And then once you've hit a week, you set your goal for another week. Set small goals.

Start one, two, three days at a time. I'm telling you, you will be so... You will feel so much better once you get over that hump of not snoozing anymore. I never thought I would be this person ever. Got to wake up anyways, my point. Got to wake up anyways. It's not helping your body pressing snooze. You'll feel better.

Please do it. Please do it. Your marriage will succeed. Carrie, thank you for calling. I really appreciate you. All right. Yeah. Thanks for watching me on that show.

Thanks for voting. She's trying to blame it on you. Yeah, I know. Hey, Dan, are you back? I am back. What you got for me? Move it. Move it or maybe the macarena?

Okay. Move it, move it. Ramondo, can you get... You got to move it, move it. You got the move it, move it. You got to move it. Okay, I'm going to play that in the dance party, Danny. You never played that before.

Mayven throwing the macarona, all right, bud? Yeah, buddy. All right, see you, bud. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So this is pretty cool. A school has partnered with a nonprofit called For the Family,

and it's a kindness of... Heart campaign where kindness is key and the kids are encouraged to help others but not just at school out in their neighborhoods too and then they're encouraged to share their good deeds of kindness so that way it'll spread around and they're all learning from each other to make the world a better place and I just think it's really cool that the school is taking an initiative to partner their students with a group that's all about spreading kindness. Yeah I think so too and I think that we try to fix things quickly but we don't go and try to fix the culture of things I'm talking about the culture so much, and that's what you're doing with kids at a young age.

Instead of going to a 22-year-old and going, hey, be a better person, you go to a five-year-old and teach them how to actually be a good person. And that's not just with this. It's with so many other things. What are you going to say? Well, I wanted to quote a 13-year-old student that's in the program, and this just, I love this. She said, my name is Aaron, you never know what kind of day a person's been through. So you being kind can make and change their whole day. I agree with that.

Boom. If you just look someone in the eyes, a second and a half more, and you genuinely ask their name, it never matters really what you say to someone. It matters how that person felt about their experience with you. I can't tell you the first interaction I've had with most people in my life, but I know how they made me feel the first time that I met them. And that's what I try to do with people too. They're not going to remember what we talk about the first time we meet. But if I meet them and I make them feel like, okay, I feel good. Good, it's a nice guy, nice warm guy. Like, that's what my goal is.

Yeah. So, I like that. I like that working with kids. Anything else over there, am? No. All right, there we go. I'm going to hit this big voice guy here. Hit it.

That was Tell Me Something Good. You know what a grill is for your mouth? Yeah. I don't know if you know still. Oh, okay. First I was like, well, yeah, you put meat on it. But then for the mouth, yes, it's like a mouthpiece you put in. It's like bling.

Yeah, it's like a, for me it seems like a show. off retainer. Yes. Like, I'm rich. Check out my braces. But Lunchbox has a story about a guy who was making home. Yeah, there was a 26-year-old guy

in Florida. He was having people over to his house and he would take molds and he was making the grills without a dentistry license, nothing. He just used his home equipment and was making him

and he got fined by the health department arrested. But okay, you know who's dumber than him? The people actually wearing them. So you can't make and sell grills unless you have a permit.

I think it's like making eyeglasses. Or braces. Or braces. Or even food. You can't sell food. I know. He said he considered himself a jeweler. Yeah.

Okay. You know what there's a fine life. Yes. Because it's like an accessory. You're right. It's not an actual like, you know. That has to fit in the category of dental though. But he has to go in and mess with their teeth to figure it out.

Oh, I guess to take a mold. But you do bring up a good point, Amy, because I went straight dentist and you went straight jeweler. Yeah. Yeah, because, I mean, you can go to CVS or Walgreens and get the mold thing and make your own mouth guard. You can even make your own, get your own reading glasses. You're right. You're right. Yeah, I'm on this dude's side now.

And you've shifted me in the middle of this story. But the people who are wearing it are the idiots, more than him. You're just trying to get a deal. I know. Jessica in Tampa, good morning. Hi, good morning. How are you today? Good.

How are you guys? We're good. It's Friday. Got to sleep in my own bed again last night, which is pretty awesome. I'm feeling pretty good today. Yeah, what can we do for you? Good. I just wanted to call and say how much I appreciate you all,

and I love listening to you guys every morning, and I've loved watching you on Dancing with the Stars. I just wanted to see, are you able to kind of, I don't know, give us any sort of spoilers or tell us anything about next week, maybe what songs you're dancing to? That's a good question, because I normally, I don't know the rules on if you can tell what song, but, I mean, what are they going to do? Bo Boe me off, right?

right now, it's Friday, the show's on Monday night. Come on. So I'm doing, listen, I don't know this difference in styles, but I'm doing something called a contemporary dance. Oh. I don't wear shoes. I have no skin on the bottom of my feet. Whoa.

Yesterday we practiced like seven hours with no shoes on. And it's a slow dance. So, okay. And I sent Amy my practice video. But here's what it is. So next week it's called Most Memorable Year the Week. And you take a year from your life that's the most memorable year. And the song doesn't have to be from that year,

but it tells the story of it. And for me, I was the first person in my family to graduate high school. school ever. And so it's, you know, I went and graduated high school. My mom had never graduated in high school. And before she died, she went and got her GED, which was really a big deal to me because she was inspired by that. And so they wanted me to do like a serious song and not, and it's a serious thing, like, you know, a big part of my life. And so we're doing a serious song and we're doing a song that I love, which is the, I don't know if I can say it. Well, what's your year?

No, it's, the year's the year I graduate school. Okay. The song doesn't have to be from that. The song has to represent that year. Got it. And so the song is a million dreams from The Greatest Showman. I close my eyes and I can see. So it's like a kid who's singing about his dreams. This song I was crying to like two weeks ago. And they let me do it.

Through the dark, through the door, through where no one's been before. But it feels like home. It's all about you can do whatever you want with your life. They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy. You can say they can say I've lost the line. So I've been dancing to that. Are you about to cry?

Okay, hold on. Only because, hold on. Don't cry. Go ahead. I'm not. I'm going to close my eyes and not look at you. Because I've seen the dance that you're doing and the song. And then knowing, I didn't know at the time that I watched it,

that it was representing you. like a special time in your life. Why are you closing your eyes? I don't want to cry. Okay. So it, it, now that I know what it all represents, like I'm putting a bow on it. Oh, I said aiming at practice video. In my brain and my heart, it's putting a bow on this whole thing.

And 100% when I see you do that on Monday, I will cry. I already know it. Mm-hmm. That's special. And I would call it contemporary, I don't know anything about dance, but I did do drill team for a year in high school. And we did it similar to that and it was like we called it like lyrical,

but it's lots of like, I mean, it's going to be moving and powerful. And seeing you actually do that, I think this is the dance that is going to show people that you're working hard and you're taking it seriously for real.

Stop looking at me. Why? Why did that make you want to cry? It makes me want to cry. Because the song, the dance, is a powerful, that type it's to me

that type of movement to a song like that that's really can ignite emotion is even more powerful and then knowing that you chose that chapter of your life to express through song and dance

like I don't know it's just gonna be a lot it's special I mean and then I have all these because I have all these other thoughts of like I want, okay, because, and I don't want to, say whatever you want to, okay, as long as you take it okay, but like I want, that's something that I wish your mom could see. And that's it. Like, I wish seeing you dance to that and knowing everything that's coming Monday, it's something I wish your mom was at, like, could be there watching or could be on watching you on TV.

Because I remember when Lunchbox and I went to New York to see you on Regis and Kelly, your mom was she watched you she was still alive and that was something that was really special and I think for her to know that you accomplished that like you graduated high school you went to college you did all that and now you're all as cheesy as it sounds like even last week with your clip I know you didn't see it your montage clip where you're like I'm freaking on TV or whatever you said like that that seems some silly people might see that and be like okay he's on TV this guy's goofy or silly but ever since you were five years old and then all through school you wanted to be an entertainer you wanted to be on radio you wanted to be on tv and now you're on it's just it's a full circle thing

and now i know that it's sort of an interpretive dance situation and it's just going to be it's going to be good and um why aren't you looking at me because i really don't want to cry I don't have room for that right now. I don't want to cry. So if I don't look at you, it helps. It made me tear up. But that is why. I think I have, I feel for the story that is going to be told,

I know what that means to you. And then my immediate thing is like, gosh, I wish your mom could see you. This is cool. I didn't really, dancing with stars is way cool as I thought it was going to be. I'm not going to lie. I kind of, I've never really watched it.

We know that. We all know that we're all rooting you on, so it's getting us involved in it. But it's a totally different, it's a game changer when you know the person doing it. You know how much work they're putting into it. And then, like, it's not just this reality show. Yeah, it's a lot of work. It's so much more. So much work.

I'm so appreciative to our listeners that call and vote. Yes. Like, it really, and I know people say stuff, but the fact that someone will pick up a phone and call a number when there's so many things in their life. Yeah, it's a big deal. Makes me emotional. It's a big deal. Like, it's a, I feel like you're going to emerge from this whole thing, whether making it four weeks, five weeks winning the thing.

Like, it's something that's going to be one of the coolest things you've ever done in your life because I feel like it's challenged you. It's stretched you. I didn't know there's going to be cool moments like this. That, like, seeing you enjoy it, you don't enjoy things. Like, you're emerging from this a better person. And it's all because of dancing with the stars. I know how weird, right?

It's so bizarre. It's so bizarre. Like, I never thought in the million years I'd ever be saying that, but it's true. Even our producer Eddie came up to me off the air. And I was like, hey, man, like, I'm proud of you. And I was like, what's happening right now? Yeah, I know. I've never said that to you.

What's happening with our lives? I really am, man. I'm so proud of you. And Amy just nailed all that, you know? And I wonder if this week, like, really, if you're going to get those steps down perfectly where you only have to think about it and just put your heart into this dance because you love that song.

I love that movie. I love the message of that song. Yeah. So I'm wondering if you're just going to like, I might even cry now. Right. I know. I'm like, am I just hormonal right now

or is this for real? But I think it's for real, like it's all for real and that's why. Yeah, like the whole story. Like I'm not going to be able to watch the package before I go out there because I'll start crying on the floor. Because I know, I don't know what they're going to use. I did like an hour talking about it.

If you're new to the show, My mom had me, when she was a teenager, she got pregnant at 15, and she ended up dying from after drugs and alcohol and a whole tragic addiction issue in her 40s. And yeah, no one of my family had ever graduated in high school. I mean, I was a food stamp kid. And we struggled, man, like so many people out there today. And I think that's why the show actually resonates is because we kind of, we understand like real life.

And I want to go out and to say to do it through dance, it sounds like the lamest thing I've ever said in my life. Because when people would say that I would go like, shut up. What's that even mean? I know. But I sent me a practice video and we worked on it.

And it's, we're not done with it yet. And, yeah, I can't wait to see it. I don't even have the full, I don't even have, obviously we're not going to know the full picture till Monday, but the bits and pieces that I'm now putting together live right now is what's causing all this. And it's like, oh my gosh. Like, I got to just be prepared for Monday because it's going to be a lot.

But cool. Every night I live in bed. The brightest. Colors fill my head A million dreams You're keeping me I'm gonna watch this movie again The Greatest Showman

Yeah for the seventh time Well I appreciate they called Jessica That kind of put us off On a whole other Whole other world They're talking All right

Dreams for the world We're gonna miss The Jam too Thank you all for hanging out with us Bobby Bone Show That's us Thanks for being our friend Thanks for letting us be in your cars

or on your phones or wherever you put us. We're just glad that you give us a few minutes. We know there's a ton of options out there, so we appreciate that. Such a jam, man. That old Dominion song is so good. Come on. What?

I'm the only lame person that, like, I had to stay in a hotel the other night and, like, I have my hotel key when I'm, like, walking through. Anybody? I know Mike D and Eddie, they shared a hotel room and they were talking about how they were like, hey, yesterday they pulled out their hotel keys.

like, hey, we're like that song. I kept this because of my night with you. Did you all share room? Yeah, we had the hotel key. Oh, in New York? Yes. We were there for like 10 hours. I know, but they got their hotel key.

I just feel like it's... Our video producer, Eddie, was giving me a hard time because whenever I'm in California for the show, Mike D. and I are basically sharing a college apartment. Would you agree with Eddie? It's pretty much what it is. It's like a dorm room. Two bedrooms.

And Eddie slept on the couch, and I keep it cold. I mean, Amy, Bobby keeps the studio cold. right? Yeah. Well, he keeps his apartment colder. Like, I was freezing, man. And then I woke up in the middle of the night to look at the thermostat. It was 67 degrees in there. Hey, I don't have to pay that bill. Gosh, dude. Aren't you freezing, though? No, I'm pretty good. And I thought it was Mike D. So I said, Mike D, dude, you can't keep it that cold. He's like, that's Bobby. That's how he likes it cold. I do. I do like it cold. Which, by the way, let me bring this up real quick before we hop out. to say that I'm dating someone is unfair because I'm not there's something new and I've been real

I didn't have them put it out there because I don't want them getting that pressure from social media because our listeners are awesome and loyal and they want to go and just see what's up so I've kept it but I also wanted to share as my most honest self

that I have been out with someone a few times and I told lunchbox yesterday who it was, because Eddie didn't know. And then he told Eddie. Lunchbox, you told Eddie? After you said that he wouldn't tell anyone. Oh, Lunchbox. Now that's the last time I can vouch for you now.

I understand that. But Eddie, right down who lunchbox told you. I'm being cool. Oh, did you? No, no, no. Eddie was bugging me and bugging me and texting me. Why's he bugging you? I was going to tell him.

I know. And he's like, well, now that you know, I need to know, I should know. And I'll take you to lunch tomorrow if you'll just tell me. Just text it to me. I won't tell anybody. And I was like, and I'm like, I'm not going to respond. I'm not going to even react to what it is. Lunchbox told Eddie I was dating Kaylee Coco from Big Bang Theory.

Is that not true? You jerk. I think she's married. You're such a joke. I think she maybe got a divorce when she's dating somebody. I started thinking like, dude, this chick is loaded. Yeah, she does the price selling commercials. She's the Big Bang Theory girl.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, she gets like a million in an episode. This is what happened in my mind yesterday. Oh, gosh. Lunchbox, no, Eddie tells me first, he goes, Lunchbox is going, he said, I know, lunchbox told him, he can't tell him any secrets. And so that message comes at like 6 p.m. last night.

And I'm like, lunchbox, like, he's pretty good about not telling secrets. Right, I know, I was shocked. But I was a little irritated. And then I go, then I get a match from Lunchbox going, I told him it was Kelly Quokko. And the only reason I picked him is because I read a news story that she was talking about her next role after Big Bang theory. She's going to be in some superhero thing.

And I was like, oh, that's perfect. She's in the news. Perfect. And he was like, oh, that's cool. It was weird because Bobby was giving me hints like the other day, you know, and I was like, I don't want to hear these hints or whatever. And so when he told me Kelly Quoco or whatever her name is, I was like, well, she does live in L.A. Like, this makes sense.

I didn't even say this person lived in L.A. Yeah, you don't know if this person lives in L.A. Guys, I've never said this person lives in L.A. Yeah. I'm telling you, I was piecing things together and I was like, this is a possibility. So I was like, why would he lie to me? He seems honest. It was a little easy that he gave me the information, but now I know he lied to me.

Yeah, I've never said she lived in LA. Jerk. I've never said anything specific. The only person... I don't know that you've even said she's a she. You know what? Great point. That's a great point.

Is that right? Is that right? You know what I was anything? Lunchbox is now, he switches Big Bang Theory characters. He's like, it's Leonard from Big Bang Theory. I'm just saying that's how little you've said. Yeah, I just said that I've been out a few times with someone. So it's not dating to clarify.

I don't know. What would you say it is? Would you say? It just depends what you call dating. I feel like you and I need to have more of a sit down for me to define that. I'm going to get Barbara Walters from Amy. Well, go ahead, Amy. Go ahead and ask your questions.

You ask me a question, but don't say anything specific. Okay. Yeah, how many times have y'all been out? Like this many or so. Okay. So what do you think about that? I just like, when have you had the time? I know.

I know. What do you think about that number, though? I feel like that's pretty good That's dating I know you're in a unique situation With everything that's going on But I feel like even if Unique New York

Unique New York How now, Brown Cow I think that Yeah, you're dating You think so That many times It's a fine line How does this person define it?

Oh I don't know We don't try that Oh my God no DTF or What What did you say That's not the same thing. Amy.

Define the conversation is not DTF. DTR. That's DTR. That's DTR. That's defined the relationship. DTF is not that. All right. After these messages, we'll be right back. Over to Amy, who has the news.

Here's Amy's pile of stories. So you know the saying like, you should sleep on it. You're trying to make a decision and we'll sleep on it. Well, next time you have a big decision to make, it could be life-changing or whatever the deal, you should take a nap. Yes, because this new study says sleeping on it before you make a decision really does work, researchers found that when people took 90-minute naps, it actually helped their brains get organized and clearer, which helps you make smarter choice. Well, here's the problem. What?

If there's a decision that's so big I need to sleep on it, it's hard for me to go to sleep because I can't stop thinking about it. I didn't think about that part. So I'm going, oh, my heart does this. But it makes sense. That's tough for me. If it's a big decision, I don't go right to sleep. Especially a nap. I'm sorry.

Well, no, I guess it's just saying as long as you can clear your brain for 90 minutes. Yeah. I mean, it's interesting. But you make a good point if you can get there because, yeah, if it's a big decision, you may have some anxiety about it. Well, dang it. Okay, so a new study found that being hugged really does make us feel better, especially if you're having a bad day.

People who received at least one hug on a day that, something bad happen, we're less likely to let that one thing ruin their entire day. And the effect also carried over to the next day. So, you know, don't turn down a hug if you're offered one. And I know Bobby, you don't pass out hugs, which I appreciate about you. I don't pass them out. But how are you receiving them lately? Oh, okay. I'm getting better. This whole dancing thing, you just have to be more body. You're more intimate probably than you've ever been with anybody. I felt us yesterday when we were walking over, I just grabbed your arm and we started walking. And I was like, oh, I don't normally do this, but that's the land I'm in now where people just grab,

it's just, it was just like, yeah, it's weird, because I don't really touch. You did do that now that I think about it. We were just walking, I just kind of grabbed your hands like, hey, come on. I was like, oh, he must miss me. Feels so good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just trying to be a better person. All right, what else?

And last but not least, Tupac's alive. Tupac's alive. My boy. For real? Yeah. Apparently Amy found him. Well, I didn't, but Shug Knight's Sunded. and he has a theory about Tupac

and that he's living in Malaysia. Oh yeah, Malaysia. I mean, I thought he was a chef in New Orleans, but I mean, that's the theory I've gone with for a while is that he's living out his culinary dreams down in Louisiana. But Shug Nightson says that he's in Malaysia. Shug Nights in jail forever now. I just saw he played guilty.

Oh, wow. Yeah. I mean, he's been in trouble. but he's in jail forever. Shug Knight started death row records. There are a lot of those celebrity conspiracy theories, though, like for Elvis faked his own death because the mafia was after him. A 1988 book called Elvis Alive examines FBI documents said that Elvis wanted to witness protection. Wow.

The writer said that basically the mafia wanted to kill him. So it was other than him die or... He was really wrapped up in that stuff. Yeah, like, so it was like Frankston, not so. Wait, he was? Yeah. Stevie Wonder Isn't Blind is another conspiracy

People out there who believe that And he's blind Let's not kid ourselves That's a lot to hold on Fake it for that long A video of Stevie Wonder Catching a falling microphone During a Paul McCartney performance

Sparked rumors that he could actually see Huh But let me tell you this I've dropped my phone before And not know what it was falling It's been like boop and caught it That's true Sometimes you're like Spider-Man

You know where he's in the cafeteria To catch that apple In 2016, Stevie Wonder fumbled an envelope While presenting the award for Song of the Years And conspiracy theorists jumped to conclusions After the musician successfully opened the envelope After looking down at it I feel so cheated

If that came out true Wow I feel so cheated Another one is Taylor Swift doesn't have a belly button Which is where she wears so many high-waisted outfits This is the dumbest line Wow

That's interesting Yeah I'm trying to find this I have What? You have what? You have what? You have what? Come on, spit it out

One day One day whenever Taylor and I It's okay for me to share It's not nothing bad It's actually a good story I have a really good Taylor's story Yeah Okay okay

You know it probably People's minds would be blown Nothing romantic at all Nothing like that at all But if I do this Oh yeah yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a great story. And it's the whole thing.

And no one knows, you're right. Yeah. Huh? Do you know what I'm talking about, Am? Mm-hmm. Isn't that crazy? Very. Yeah.

One day I'll get to tell it. It's not controversial in any way. And that's a part of history now. Yes, yes. In a weird way, I've had a footprint. That's accidentally, accidentally in history of music. It's amazing. So one day I can't, yeah, I can't wait to tell that story.

I've never thought about that. I think about it every night. All right. Another conspiracy is what? Nothing. His Lord is actually 40 years old. And we'll never be royal.

I believe that. Oh, you do? What? No. Averillivine's dead and was replaced by a look-like. Apparently in 2003 she died. And her label put up

some name Melissa Vandella so they can continue profiting of her. Have you ever seen that? I've seen that rabbit hole before. I don't believe that one. All the rest of them? Maybe. And there is kind of a one,

I don't even like talking about this all the time, that I'm in the Illuminati. You don't like talking about it? Not really. I don't even like kidding about that. But the whole thing is that I'm a member of the Illuminati and that's where any success that I've had comes because when you look at my history,

being from Mount Palm, Arkansas, population 700, and, you know, like many other people. I come from poverty. Book deals. Yeah, that's the thing. Dancing with the doors. But I'm not. A sing, songwriting career.

Yeah. Going on tour. Stand up. Comedy. I mean. Yeah, let's act like I'm not doing work, right? The Illuminati. He's sitting there in my house for hours on a laptop writing.

I don't know. I feel like whenever this comes up and you're like in such denial about it, I'm like, it's like reverse psychology or something. I'm not in denial. I just don't like talking about it. That's what everyone in the Luminati says. Listen, if people think you're in it, then you need to be like bring it up casually and be like, this is such a ridiculous rumor. Yeah, I don't even like talking about it. It's so.

Yeah, Lumminati's not real. You guys are crazy. Who else is in it, Jay Z? I don't know how to spell in Lumini. I've heard like Jayze and LeBron. I've heard. You've heard. See these little words you're using?

And here's what you see. say if they asked, be like, rumor has it. No, there's not. Oprah's in it? I don't know. See, look at all that. I tried to test you on that one. I tried to get you on that one. Yes. I'm not an Illuminati. You want to Austin, Amy?

Yep. What's going on? Hopping on a flight to go be with my dad. I haven't seen him in a couple weeks because my sister and brother have been with him, but now it's my turn and just going to be hanging out with him. He's sick. He's been sick. He has cancer, yes. So, had surgery like three months ago

and then now we're doing chemo and radiation and it's gotten we're halfway through treatment but it's gotten pretty rough to where he just got admitted to the hospital so we'll be they want him to stay in the hospital the remainder of treatment so for three weeks we'll be chilling at South Austin Hospital

Isn't it crazy like he was only going there for like two days? Well yes the surgery part yeah that's what threw us off completely and now it's been how long? I mean it's been over three months I mean, surgery and treatment was all supposed to take, like, when all of a sudden done, eight weeks. So here we are.

I feel like he's just gone from, like, you know, he's 77, but right now he seems about like 90. Really? I'm not exaggerating. It's pretty crazy to watch it regress. But I still have hope, and I'm hopeful that we'll just get through treatment, and I'm excited to see him. So. You go today. I go today.

Yeah. Tell him what up. I will, for sure. Yeah. What's up with you guys? Well, after the show, I'm going to the house, and you're going to my house. Today? No, no.

I'm talking with your people. I, no. Skyping. Oh, because you have to leave? Yeah, well, I tried to come over yesterday, but I guess the camera crew was maybe... Did you have a crew with you filming your... The crew goes with me everywhere I go.

Yeah, okay, so evidently the crew was with you when I could go, so they said that they wanted to Skype, and it's no big deal, and they do that, and it's super cool. My boy, Steve, we've been talking. I didn't know that. I'm just not finding that out. Well, that kind of stinks. I'm just going to do that and go, I'm going to have to dance. That's all I do.

Dance. Dance. Morgan number two, real quick, anything going on? Yeah, Carrie Underwood was announced as the spokesperson for the Choose Kindness campaign. She's encouraging love over hate. All right, what else? And Tyler Hubbard is in Africa celebrating his wife, Haley's 31st birthday. That's a birthday present.
