If we can't get it in by a certain time, we can't do it because they have to load the podcast up. So it's not that we don't want to hang around and work.

I forgot we had that other thing. We were recording a bunch of stuff yesterday. So apologies. Some days there just won't be. But yeah, I mean, anything you want to say? I mean, I just hope everybody has a great day. Good, good, good, good. No.

Great weekend for that matter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Here is the song. This is the scoop. Did you poop? Did it do you poop. Remember this song? Yes.

Anyone put it in Eddie's kids? Oh, there we go. So we're playing this on the show the other day. Boopi-do scoop. Scoop-de-de-whoop. Whoop-de-scoop-de-poop. Poop-de- Scoop-de-coop-de-boop. That's Kanye.

It's Kanye song. He got a new album out today, by the way, called Ye. But here you go. Poop-Scoop-oop-oop-oop-o-coop. Whoop-scoop-de-poop. Whoop-scoo-dy-poop. Scoop-dy-poop.

They like it, huh? I told you, they would love it. Poop-s scoop-scoop-de-whoop-de-whoop-de-whoop-de-poop-de-coop-de-poop. I haven't asked them why they liked it. Why? Because it says poop. Obviously, the only reason they like it is because it says poopers. You just like that it says poop?

Yes. Yeah, that's the only reason. No, just poop-s scoopers. Who sings it? Kind of it. Kind. Kenny West. Oh my goodness.

John Harmon and Kenny West. Yeah, man. My kids, they're so knowledge of all that music. Poop-D-D-Woop. Scoop-D-Woop. I'm entering this John Harmon fella. He's got great new stuff. He's just doesn't do it.

Poopi-D-Woop. I have another episode of Rejected Segment. Just a couple from this. Oh, great. Oh, boy. I don't understand. Well, my favorite rejected segment is one that Amy sent me. Again?

Yeah, it's my favorite one. It's your... Oh, my gosh. I can't. I don't even know what it is. Again, if you're new to the show, what happens is we get show ideas, and someone will say, oh, you just talk about this. And so Amy will send me a few.

So, and I don't know what you guys feel like, the percentage of the ones I take that you send are. What do you think? I don't know. I mean, like if you send. Over all the years? No, no, no. Now, if you send 10 ideas, how many do I do? One.

Okay. You think one out of 10. Lunchbox? Three out of 10. You think so? Wow. Yeah. Okay.

That's good. 30%. Eddie? Out of 10, one. Okay. It may be zero sometimes. Zero Zero.

Scoop. Scoop-de-po. We're sending in a bunch of pooh-pooh-de-soop-de-po. It's been a bad week when you get zero. I mean, I don't know. Do you guys keep Talley? How many a week? No, I gave up on that a long time ago.

Good. I've had more creative years than less. Like, it's been a, what is the ebb and flow? Is that a thing? Yeah, there's been, yeah. Some years, I, like, 2000. Oh, God. She remembers the year.

Like, 2010, 2011. solid year for me. I think I got like two emails from Bobby that year telling me that I was doing really good. Hey, I know you got arms about this, but... Wow. No, I'm being 100% dead serious because I like that you don't hand that stuff out like candy because it makes me remember when I got it. Good.

Yeah, 2011. Yeah, see, the way I look at it is one week you get none, next week you get 10, so it even... You've never in a week. Anyone's ever got 10 in a week. No. Because one week he doesn't think you're funny. Next week he thinks you're funny and that, like, or, my writing style changes the next week and it's better written.

In 2012, I think it was that I won $1,000 for being the most creative on the show. It's 365 days worth of... The greatest idea I ever came up was to keep the score of the bits that got used on the air. It was horrible. My mom held the money. Bobby gave my mom the money. She held it for a year. It was fantastic.

Raymond actually, he wasn't even on the show paid. He was an intern. I think it came in second or third that year. Yeah. It was so close to winning. That was a big part of him. ended up full time on the show It's just been downhill from there folks

Hey everybody Too loud So what did What got rejected That your favorite Rejected? Oh my favorite rejected segment of the week Is from Amy Okay

Amy sends me an idea She goes Hey Planking Okay No man plank Yeah yeah What is that?

What is that? Okay man I don't have it written down I'm just going from my head She goes Man plank And so I go okay I'm about to read

What her idea is about Man plank She goes Can't really remember what this is about Just wrote it in my phone. I thought maybe you would. Oh, my goodness. Let's do it.

I mean, y'all. So do you ever send yourself show notes? Like, you, if you, if something happens, like, I immediately just write a note so I know to show prep about it later because it's going to be awesome. And all I wrote down was Manplank. And I just had it sitting there. And then she felt like putting that as prep that she couldn't remember what it was. Because sometimes you do that. You talk about how you put in your notes like, why did I write down dongy-y-dong?

You know? Interesting. We talked through it with you. Why did you write down don't you? I'm also curious as to why I wrote down dongy-dong. Bobby, we talked through it with you and then the next thing you know a light bulb goes off and you're like, dony-dong. Now I know why. I'm at the urinal and I go, oh, dongy-dongy-dong.

Yes. And like I thought if we just talked through it, I would suddenly realize what I meant or what I saw, like did I see a man doing a plank? in the road? No. Interesting. So, Ray, we'll have to do it live. That was a rejected segment. Rejected segment.

When I remember. That's what you, I'm going to start sitting in ideas like that. Not even full ideas. Window. I don't know what I mean about the window, but come up with it. That's not, but that's not true. You didn't write down man plank. I thought.

I got by the window. Shoestring. Bobby, you tell me what you think. What I meant by that was. Maybe I was with you when I saw the man plank. Yeah. Maybe you have to do with the manplank. Maybe you're like, oh, yeah, Amy, this is what manplank means.

But clearly, you weren't with me. Anyway, that was a rejected segment. Rejected segments. There it is. I mean, man plane. Here's another one. Okay. Who's it from me?

It's not. It's from M1. She sent a segment that said, why don't we list things that Bobby's bad at? Wow. Why is that rejected? Yeah. Why is that rejected? That's a lot.

Communication. Oh, boy. Here we go. Interesting. That's it, really. Interesting. That's it. You know you're bad at communication sometimes.

But sometimes you do it on purpose. I don't understand. No, I think you're being unfair. Okay, explain. Because I've actually gotten a lot better, especially with you. Okay. Thank you. So, not bad at communication?

No, I mean, I still think that sometimes communication is... Okay, fine, whatever. Are you convincing me right now with your eyeballs that you're going to... I'm just looking at you to talk. Now I feel bad. He's communicating something with his eyes. you could start listing all the bad things about me and I would just... I'd like to be good.

Let's do that. That's why I didn't accept the segment. Not that I don't think I have everything wrong with me. I don't want to put you down. I'm going to lift you up. No, you jumped on this and just started attacking. I said, here's a rejected segment. What's my...

Got new occasion. I'm first. No. Anyway, that's why... You're right. You have gotten better. Because it would have just turned into all of us bashing each other. Yeah.

I'm not even against that segment. It just pollutes the environment. Well, how about after everybody gets something said about them, you just play chill out. Mm-mm. That makes everything better. Yeah. Chill out.

Okay. I feel like I've been communicating with you a lot better. You have. I've been reaching out. You have. It's not about hanging out, reaching out. What's weird about... Maybe it's me.

Maybe I'm scared to communicate. What's weird about Bobby, though, I feel like he's gotten way better communicating, not something he's done. I just feel like we can all read him really well. Like, I know when he's mad. I know when he's happy. We do have the whiteboard now.

Again, those are methods of communication, Amy. Yeah, you're right. You've gotten better. I'm so sorry. Even when I text you and go, hey, this is how I'm feeling about this. I know. A little bit of my feelings to hurt. I know when I've screwed up. Like, he makes it clear. Maybe not through words, but he makes it clear. It's not always about screwing up. So you're saying that you pay attention. Maybe that's it. Okay. You do that really good, Eddie. Thanks, bones. Positive. And I like to recognize people that pay attention. So I'm recognizing me right now. Thank you, man. Thank you. Too loud. Yeah. How about that?

I feel like we're indirectly calling out my faults. Okay. Oh, see, then that's what the segment turns into. Too loud. No, she'd like it if we just called them out directly instead of... Is that what you're saying? All my point was to you is that I've made a conscious effort of the last few months to communicate more openly and tell you how I'm feeling good or bad. And even in ways that are nonverbal, even in ways like the whiteboard, so we know how we're feeling in the morning. I've made extra efforts.

And all of a sudden, Amy screams at 0.1 seconds. Tid communication! That just tells me I'm not doing good enough job. So I'll get better, Amy, for you. That was me communicating. Sorry. Nope. Hey, it's communication.

Too loud. Dang. Okay, I suck. No, no, no, that's not the point. What in the world? See, but that's how, that's what this turns into. That's why it's a rejected. Rejection segment.

Thank you, Ray. Good one, Ray. What else is rejected? They're a lot, but, I mean, most stuff's rejected. Those are just the two I wrote down. Oh. Okay. I feel like I make this segment every time.

I mean, do you want to read some more from last night even? They were rejected? Nah. Because some of them could have turned out to great. things, but it's also time and place. We'll save him. I thought Luke Holmes is fantastic today, by the way. Yeah.

Like really, really freaking good. And what sucks is you can't hear the live performance here, go to YouTube and watch it. But even the interview was good. I felt like he opened up a lot. Yes. He did. More than we've ever had him open up. And I feel like we interview him better than anybody else because we've known him longer.

And even then, I tell you, we talk about, he bought me some shoes for my birthday. And I bring it up to him. And I never know. if it's somebody or somebody's team that has made, you know, and he goes, no, no, I said, and I didn't say, did you do it? I just was saying thank you. And he goes, man, I sat on my computer,

and looked, a little bit I was moved by that. That Luke Holmes was like, it's probably birthday coming up. I want to get on the computer and find him something cool. Yeah. And he found me something I genuinely liked. He knows what team I like. He got me some Razorback, Nike's,

they're green with red, anyway, I thought that was cool. And I don't even care that if it's a team that does something, because you have to hire your team. Your team is just an extension of you. So let's say it was Luke's manager. It wasn't, it was Luke.

But let's say it was. I don't think less because Luke had to hire his manager. Like all of you guys are an extension of me. So if you guys do something, I get all the credit. If you don't, I go, that's bad, bad on them. That's true. Yeah, yeah. No, but seriously.

I thought it was really cool. It was. He's cool. More we see him, the more I like him. He is direct and confident. And he's one number away I'm calling you I said I was through

One number away Like there it is I'm one number away I said I was through But I'm dying Inside got my head in How about the CMT awards are coming up Next week

Wednesday night Yeah I don't think I can Talk about me there yet But They are putting a lot of new artists And letting them perform And I thought it's pretty cool Because let's see

Walker Hayes is performing at CMT. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Lanko, former class of, I think, 2017. Yeah. It's like all the On the Verge artists from the past, because it's Lanko,

Carly Pierce, Devin Dawson. It's all the artist that we've been able to kind of lift up awesomely. Lindsay L. The performing That's, I mean, it's weird for you.

Why is that? I mean, look at it. She's on the award show and... What? And what? And? Go ahead. You broke out with her.

Excuse me? You broke out with her. So, he's going to want to be back with her. She's on TV? Oh, yeah, she's on TV now, man. Lobby's on TV. I'm going to see and go, ooh. I really missed out.

What I mean? He liked her for, for us. Other reasons. Why are you talking like that? I'm just, it gets awkward when she comes up. Does it? It gets awkward when she starts having success. No, it gets awkward when he talks like eight like this.

Man, I don't know. I mean, it's awkward. I don't know, man. You know, right. It gets awkward. It does. It gets awkward in here. Everybody feels uncomfortable.

No, we don't. Nobody feels uncomfortable. I think so. Not one person. Everybody's fine. Everybody's fine. Like, I can see in your eyes like the missing. You can see it on my eyes.

Yeah, you're like, oh. Maybe you're not communicating this. Oh, I'm thinking about that. Lindsay L. L's performing at the CMT Awards. I'll be there. Do you think I'll watch and go, ooh. Yeah, it may be a little weird for you.

You may need to like go to the bathroom at that point. Because I have to poop-a-scoop-dy-scoop? No, just got a... Scoop-ty-scoop. So it's not awkward. Okay, well. You run into her backstage? She was at my house for the pool party?

What are you talking about? She was, yeah. She came over. Did you have the drama about it? Totally fine, but why was their drama? No. I thought it was fine. I put it on the Bobbycast. Oh, I haven't listened.

Cindy out, sorry. You should. I will. I'm having to tell you now. Yeah, say it now. The drama wasn't between us, but, and Lauren, and Lauren, Elena was over there, and she, Lindsay and I were next to each other. I was in the, so Lauren and Lindsay were doing a selfie Insta story. Okay. And then Lauren turned it over and she was showing me up in the front. And it wasn't a big deal because I wanted to hide in the fact that Lindsay came over to the party, because we're so friends, but Lauren and Lena had tagged us both on the, on the insta story, and you could see it, so it looked like we were together. Okay. And so people I'm reaching out to Lindsay's team going,

are they back together? Are they back together? Oh, okay. So it's a bit of drama. And then now I've got to see her on CMT. I know. I couldn't be happier for her. Like, I do think I'm her biggest fan.

Would you agree with that? Mm-hmm. That's the way to be. What do you mean? Put up that front, man. Next week's busy for us. It's CMA week. Is you busy for you guys or just me?

No, it's busy for us. man, I got a script here I got to do. What's that? Read it up. Oh, this is we're hosting something that you're doing for Darius. Yeah, so I'm playing it. Yeah, Lunchbox and I are hosting. You're welcome.

Thank you? I was just, okay. Why am I thinking you? It's Darius and Friends. I know, but I was like, hey, we need Amy and Lundworks to host this thing. Oh. Okay, thank you. I thought Darius just reached out to me.

We ended up push other people, you know. That's cool. Yeah. Oh, so wait, you're telling me, Eddie's not, you didn't push Eddie? Oh, so he got the remote Can't have three people hosted? So I'm performing with Darius I'm doing two songs

And then I do... Wagon wheel? No, no, I'm doing... Oh. I'm doing a song alone and then Darius comes out and we do a cover together. Ooh. Anyone I guess the cover we're doing? Because I was going to do a hooty song.

Oh, that'd be cool. But we did a hooty song at the Riemann last time. I don't know. I know, I know. What? Bear naked ladies. No, that's in my will house, so of selection. Like, that's a pretty good selection, but it is not.

Matchbox 20. No, it has to be something I can kind of sing. No, that's a good though. Oh, ooh, John Mayer. No, it has to be something I can kind of sing. Garth Brooks. No, no, no, no, the Chinese chicken.

That's bar-naked ladies. Oh, it is? Oh, I thought that was summer guys. Tupac. I don't know. It's Beastie Boys. Okay. Oh, okay. Sabotage.

No. Probably five. You got a fight. Man. I just want to throw that a new sabotage out there. I didn't care if you're really singing it. Yeah, cool. That'll be fun.

So, yeah, that's Monday night. It starts off. I don't go until like 830 or 9. Oh, that's me too. No, I'm there all night. I mean, yeah, I think I'm there all night too. Let me see, yeah. What day is that?

Monday. And then... Tuesday more radio. Yeah, CMT remotes. I'm going out of CMT remotes. Yeah, so am I. Get ready, artists. There you go.

I'm coming with some good, hard-hitting questions. We all do shifts. Yeah. Right? And then what else do I happen? Is that the one where there's like all his drama when they see lunchbox? Yes. Well, what happens is...

Well, like, really. Like, real story? Yes. I don't know. Lunchbox, why do you think there's drama? Before I say it and you get mad or they say it and not get mad? Because you'll say the same thing I'm going to say. Because they don't see Bobby or Amy and they're like, oh, I get the third string.

So the artist walks in the room and they see you. And they think we don't take the interview serious because Lunchbox is there. Bobby doesn't have time to come interview me? Like, cool. It definitely feels that way even for me. You know, you put my name in the mix, but no, no. They walk in and they're like, it's not so much the artist. maybe their management, they're kind of looking around.

They're like, well, we already start as soon as Bobby gets here. I'm like, no, hey, guys, I'm here. Yeah, the vibe definitely changes. I got my microphone ready to go. Like, we're recording. Ray's like, let's go. And they're like, as soon as Bobby gets here, you guys let us know. I'm like, oh, Bobby's not here.

Well, speaking back by whenever Bobby's out in the bathroom. No, he's not in the bathroom. Yeah, I'm here for the next hour. I'm Amy. See, I like for you guys to grow, though. Yeah. Yeah, I don't mind doing it. I'm just telling you sometimes, I agree with lunchbox,

it's made awkward by people that are. are definitely expecting to see you. What were you going to say? So I wouldn't get mad. That people will go, oh, lunchbox, I'm going to take this seriously. It's not so much about me. No, no, I try to take it serious,

but I figured they get the same question. Did you fart today? It does add to the awkwardness, too, because lunchbox sometimes messes stuff up, like, big time. Like, calls them by the wrong name. Hey, Tyler fart. Okay. Oh, sorry, far.

Sorry, Tyler, Farr. So, you have a new album called One Week coming out. They're like, Yeah, yeah. So you're from Texas. No, I'm from England. Yeah, he does that a lot. Keith Urban.

My favorite one that he always does is like, so this is your first award show and they're like, no, we've been here over here. 13 years? Yeah. I like that one. Keith Urban, you're married to Connie Britton. What's that like? No. Is that true?

Nicole Kidman. No, sometimes I do mess up, but I think it's the people that give me the sheet. they give me the wrong information. That's a lot of the time. Yeah, that is. I mean, and you're like, oh, well,

okay. Like we're at the IHeart Country Festival. Oh, this was so awkward. Go ahead. And I was like, I was like, I said, John Pardt,

are you excited? It's your first time here at I heart country festival. And he goes, actually, my second. But the girl in the room had written on a piece of paper

asking him if he's excited to be here for the first time. And so I asked. And I looked like, Is that the only time that's ever happened? What was the other one? The other one was Justin Lynch? No,

Jordan Davis. Yeah. He wasn't there. See, this is my point. Jordan Davis was not there. Absolutely, things start to happen in his mind. He just says names and things and hope somebody calls on. Well, no, big beard.

Dylan Scott. Well, I thought, doesn't Jordan Davis have a big beard too? Oh, my God. Go ahead. Lots of big beers. So I just said, he was talking about performing on the outdoor stage, and I figured since I was interviewing him inside that he was performing inside. So you just figured.

Yes. But you're blaming that on somebody else that you figured. No, no, this is my fault. Because why am I interviewing him if he's already performed and has nothing to do with just radio content? It's promoting that. that we do an outdoor stage for next year that's a bigger event.

He's an artist with song on the radio. And I just asked him if he was nervous and he goes, no, because I'm not performing. I was like, oh. But how is this something you're complaining about right now? I just, I don't know why. I mean, the artists need to roll with it.

It's more fun that way. So now you're complaining about the artist when you mess up for not just chilling. They just need to fun. Dude, just tell him. Too loud. Because is it better than just the normal interview? Like, so what are your inspiration?

Like, I think they would have more fun with... You're not asking a bad question. You're asking the wrong thing. Factually, you're inaccurate. There's a difference. I mean, you thought that was Jordan Davis. And doing a generic interview and doing a factually inaccurate interview. I'm at Google.

Jordan Davis. You got a... No, no, no, no. I'm not even Jordan. My name's Dylan. My name's Devin. Okay. Jordan Davis has a beer.

Okay, where no one's arguing about the beer. Dylan Scott. Okay, here we go with Friday show. Yes, yes. By the way, Amy, anything you want to say? Yeah. Yes. Everybody, I hope you have a great day.

There you go. Weekend. Lunchbox? Weekend. Dylan Scott and Jordan Davis look a lot of like. Nah, they just have beards. Eddie? Happy Friday, everyone.

There you go. Oh, Pimp and Joy. Pim and Joy shirts are up. Bobby Bones.com. If you want to buy one of these to help vets get service dogs. These dogs are expensive, $20,000 each. You can do that. And we get to name the dogs we get, whoop, whoop.

with the I Heart Country World premiere. Brand new music from Florida, Georgia Line. This is called Simple, starting your Friday off. New FGL. We had some callers yesterday. We're talking about guys taking their wives' last name. We said, hey, we ran out of time, a call back here on Friday. Hey, you're on the air, Deborah and Virginia.

Hey, Bobby, how are you? Really good. Thanks for calling so early. What do you think about this? Well, when I was getting ready to marry, my husband, This would have been my third marriage. I was tired of going back and forth with my maiden name. So I told him I wasn't taking his name.

And we were high school, sweetheart, we broke up. It took him over 20 years to win me back. And it is like he was really upset that I wouldn't take his last name. So I said, I'll make you a deal. You take my name, my maiden name, make it your middle name. I'll take your last name. There's a lot of trading hair going on. Okay.

Yeah, this is like the spring baseball meetings. I'm trying to trade some players. You know, there's some options here. Okay, see, okay, here's the point that I really wanted to make yesterday. Maybe I did it make abundantly clear. It was never about the man taking the woman's name. It was about, hey, let's find what works. And let's not just be bonded to something because it's old and traditional.

Because you could take her name, you could split the name. You could create a new name. Mash it together. Like when Ben and J-Lo were dating? Oh. You know when you do one of those, like, whether they're bailo? Is that even a thing? Oh, was that a thing?

No, maybe not. Maybe Kim Yeh. Kim Yeh. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Or like Heather in Massachusetts. Hey, Heather.

Hi. What do you think about this? You think the last name, you had a coworker? Yes. And what happened with her? Her husband had a record. So when he got out of jail and they got married, he took her last name. Running from the law.

I mean, that's another reason. That's another reason. That's totally valid. Absolutely. Trying to get work. My point is, everybody has different reasons to do everything. We should be okay with that. Hey, thank you, Heather.

Appreciate that. So. Yeah, appreciate you. Yeah, how about that? How about that? Lunchbox, lunchbox. If he's running from the law and he changes and takes her name, is he still manly?

Shouldn't take hers to make a new one. What? Oh. Yeah. People do it cool things. It's ICU. Big shout out to Walmart. Walmart Inc. will fund college degrees for its U.S. workforce.

Here's what they're doing. Walmart has 1.5 million employees, which by the way is crazy. Does a lot. Yeah, they can now pursue associates or bachelor's degrees, and for $1 a day, Walmart will send them to the school, basically. What? Oh, that's cool, $1 a day. Walmart will subsidize tuition, books, and fees,

and provide support with the application enrollment process. So they want their people. Isn't that cool? I was good. Isn't that when I was there? They got to pay for my college. I wonder if Sam's Club's part of this. That's where you worked, right?

Yeah, Sam's. Why also worked at Walmart once I got laid off from Sam's? Oh, you're here? Yeah, I went to Walmart. And you worked at Sam's Club number? 6416 and 6453. Shout out. Shout out.

Well, shout out to Walmart, too, because that's pretty cool. Over to Ramundo now with the news. The Bobby Bone Show. Big three stories. His producer Raymond in sports, game one of the NBA finals, the Golden State Warriors beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, 124 to 114. In Hawaii, evacuations continue.

People are escaping from that erupting volcano. The lava is starting to block evacuation routes. Don't wait this one out. Experts say 75 homes have already been destroyed. And finally, congrats to the National Spelling Bee champ. Carthic Namani, the big winner last night. Brittany and Missouri, what's going on? excited to talk to you. Thank you.

So my question is, my husband and I have a seven-month-old German Shepherd, and we got a phone call from a friend on Saturday, inquiring about a three-year-old German Shepherd that these people currently have, and they're kind of scared of him, wanted to know if we wanted to take him. We said, sure, we would take him off our hands, you know, keep it along with ours. Well, we got him last night. And four hours into having him, the previous owners texted my husband and said, we'd really like to have the dog back. Huh. So what do I do? Do I give them the dog back?

I mean, it's not that the dog's neglected. He just doesn't live in the environment that we would have the dog in. Like, my dog sits on my couch. This dog is on a leash in the front yard. Okay. Okay. So, uh, all rise. Judge, common sense is now under the courtroom slash radio studio. Thank you to Brittany, who called in.

Brittany, what part of Missouri are you from? Um, St. Louis. Okay. Brittany and St. Louis has the case here. The case of the giving the dog back. We may all be seated. Thank you very much. So here we have a dog who was offered up. They took the dog. They kept the dog for just a bit.

They said, ooh, we made a mistake. We'd like to take the dog back. The question is, should you give the dog back? Is all that correct? All my information correct? Correct. Okay, so here's the thing. They gave it to you for a few hours.

The dog is not neglected. Because it's only a few hours, you do have to give the dog back. Now, here's the thing. You say, hey, here's the dog. You can have it back. They weren't neglecting the dog. The dog's getting fed. But if you don't want the dog, we will take it one more time.

And after they give it back to you again, because they will. Then it's yours to keep. Okay. But you do have to give it back. I thought so. See, you knew in your heart. You didn't even need Dutch commentsance. You knew in your heart.

But I didn't want you. I know. I know you don't. And I wish you could keep the dog because you're probably giving the dog a better home. I don't know what's happening in their hearts. We never know what's happening in someone else's heart. Maybe they realized after they gave the dog up that that was the wrong move.

And maybe they're going to love the dog even more because of it. Probably not. I think you'll get it back eventually anyway. I like to say, let the bird free if it flies back at yours. If it doesn't, it's never yours to begin with. All right, thank you. Hey, thank you very much. And court dismissed.

Okay, all right. That makes sense. Thank you very much. Don't they do that in America of babies? They give away a baby and they call and go, I'm a baby back? Oh, well, there is. Every state has a different timeline. So when my husband and I were doing a domestic adoption out of North Carolina, the timeline, I think,

with seven days. So we could have had our baby home for seven days and the mom could change your mind. So there are people that will actually in the interim, they'll take the baby for seven days so that you don't bond. Like a foster. Like it's your baby,

but they'll take it for the seven days so there's no bonding. Well, and that's part of the, you know, my court case for that dog. Yes, yeah. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Case dismissed. I downloaded the greatest showman.

I haven't seen it. Anybody seen the greatest showman? No, but I heard it's good. Oh, yeah. My friends. I've seen it. I love it. Morgan number two,

have you seen it? Yeah, it's amazing. So people have been saying, I have no interest, but so many people have said that it's good. It's a musical, Hugh Jackman's in it.

Yeah, if you don't like musicals, you won't like it. Oh. I'm not big on music. I was in a musical. I was in Greece. And Little Shop of Horrors. And I played Danny Zucco and Seymour,

but I learned them and sang them. Yeah. I didn't like Chicago much the movie. Do you like La La Land? Never saw it. Oh. Oh, you got to see La La Land, man. Really?

Yeah. I never saw it either. It's so good, guys. Did you ever see I, Tanya? Didn't you watch that? I did, yeah. I mean, I thought it was good. I thought it was funny.

Sometimes I felt bad for laughing because of the way they did it, though. It was comical, but so such serious matter, too. Like, I made me realize, like, whoa, she came. It makes you realize not have, well, I don't know where the grace comes in, but it makes you realize sometimes why people do what they do, because if they're upbringing and it's terribly sad. Yeah, you start to see a lot of the things that you go, oh, she's crazy and go,

I see why she's a product of our environment. Yeah. Yeah. And you have a choice. You don't have to be. Sometimes you have to make extra choices that other people don't have to make depending on your environment.

I feel like you had to do that. That's why I'm crazy. You're not crazy? Yeah. I mean, get a little bit. A little bit crazy. A little bit crazy. But I Tonya, yeah.

I mean, it was interesting to get some of that backstory. Yeah, I thought of it. That was good. By the way, speaking of Tanya Harding, she did Dancing with the Star. She finished third, I think. Oh, that's not bad. Right? She was kind of a fan favorite.

Speaking of sports, these guys over here have a sports podcast that they're doing. It hasn't started yet. When was the, Mike D. When was the initial due day to the show? May 7th? May 7th was it. Well, what are we today? June, boys.

What are they called again? The sore losers. Yeah, that's right. And so you're about a month behind schedule, which, by the way, as the person who runs the network, scared. me. Oh. Oh, don't worry about us. It's not us that's behind. Who's behind?

Whoever we're supposed to talk to. You guys can't even agree on artwork yet. No, artwork's been done. Artwork's done. I mean, I love the artwork too, by the way. May I see it? Mike D. Mike D. A.K. Quiet Mike, A.K. Prison Mike, aka. Metamusal Mike. What's happening? Well, it did take a while to come up with the artwork.

We went back and forth on it, and now we're just waiting on one final thing to get it going. So what's the final thing? Just signing a contract and getting all that paperwork done. Whose fault is it that it's three weeks late? Like, really? Whose, theirs? I'd say a little theirs, yeah.

What? A little theirs. Are they supposed to draft everything? Yeah, I mean, am I supposed to come up with this stuff out of thin air? They take a while to reply. Who drew the artwork, lunchbox? No, someone on their end is in charge of the artwork. They had to come up with different...

So when's the new start day? What are we looking at now? We can start maybe like the second, third week in June? Are you guys okay with that? I mean, guys, if the paperwork's right and all the words are right, we can start tomorrow. Wait, what sports are going on in third week of June? Well, it doesn't matter.

They just need to get the show on if they want to do it. It's called the sore losers. What are they going to talk about? There's sports all the time. Oh, all 24-7? And Ray, Lunchbox, and Eddie are doing the sore losers show. It'll be soon, right? Yeah.

They've been fighting about it. There have been a lot of internal arguments about it for sure. And what's the biggest argument between you three? The name, sore losers, was the first big argument. Who suggested that name? I like that. That was me. I think Mike D.

Yeah, because all of the three were just fighting. And what was your big idea, Eddie? My big idea was, um, what did I like? I don't remember my big idea. You want to know mine? Yeah. Uh, the cure for jock itch. Do you understand why we were like, what are you thinking?

That's funny. I wouldn't, I wouldn't even want to click it because the jock it has a negative thing in my head. Yeah, yeah. If I'm scrolling through podcasts, I'm not like, oh, interesting. No, they went jock it, athletes' foot. They went like gross stuff like that. I'm like, guys, what do you think?

thinking. I like sore losers. Thank you, man. You don't like Jock Itch? No. No. Anyway, no, no. Okay, so the sore loser sports show in the next few weeks. Yep, boys, can you commit to that? By the end of June? We'll see about that paperwork. All right. It's time for the good news. Which Bobby? Tell me it's not been good.

Amy, you familiar with Migos? Migos? Or Migos? Okay. Migos are food. Migos is a magnificent food. Correct. Migos is a rap girl. Then I am not. Like a stir-fried

Like a stir-fry. I like it. After being involved in a nearly fatal crash earlier this month, Offset, one Amigos, bought the man who saved his life a new car. Oh, wow. Offset crashed his Dodge Challenger last week, and then an unknown pedestrian saved his life.

Since being released from the hospital, the amigos member has been on a mission to find the man. He found him, thanked him, bought him a car. How about that? That's legit. The man did not have a car, by the way. I was walking home from work when he saw offsets crumpled vehicle. Oh, my goodness.

How about that? Wow. How about that? How about that? How about that? Gross. Meegas. Eddie, we'd like to explain amiga to our people.

Yes, it's eggs and peppers. Oh, and tortilla chips. Tortia chips and all that stuff in there. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. Do you not know what megas are? Of course I do.

cheese, eggs, tortilla chips cut up or strips. But you're Eduardo. Yeah, it's my name. Maybe some avocado. Yeah, yeah. All right. Yeah, yeah.

That's tell me something good. Bobby Buncho. This story comes us from Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania. A woman was on a hike at Cadoo Falls when she was at the top of the waterfall. She's like, man, I really want a selfie at the top of the waterfall. Oh, boy.

So she gets off the path, climbs over there, taking the selfie, and she falls 60 feet. Wow. That's far. Yeah. She suffered some serious injuries, but they rescued her

and she's in the hospital. So did she fall into water? Yes. Man. That's better. It's worth it, though. She gets the picture? Yeah.

Like, that's all I'm wondering. Like, with all that. And was it the new iPhone? Because it had to go underwater. Oh, waterproof. Yeah. And she made the news. Oh, that's true.

That's even better than it's always. Wow. Wow. I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day. Get your bones on. Bobby Bones show. Sherry in Nashville.

Hey. Hey, Bobby. How are you today? Really good. I appreciate you calling. What's going on? I was just wondering if you had spoken with your neighbor since you had your party on Memorial Day. If she had stopped by to make any comment about you not being the quiet neighbor that you had mentioned you were going to be since you had your party on Memorial Day.

Yeah, I did kind of. Yeah, I did kind of throw it wrench into that whole. whole, I'm pretty quiet. But it was a holiday. You know, it's not like a Tuesday night. I'm out there raging. That DJ was bumping for five hours ago. It was.

And I kept having him turn it up. He kept saying that loud. I was like, turn it up, man. And sometimes I was trying to talk to people and I was like, what? What did you say? But it's not a party unless you can't hear someone. That's right. So, back story, I moved.

My neighbor stopped my car and said, hey, do you have a family? And I was like, I'm not married. I don't have any kids. It's like, oh, do you have big get-togethers, like parties and stuff? I was like, I don't, actually. I'm not even home a lot. And when I am, I go to bed early. So that sounds like the nicest neighbor ever.

But she has kids, though. They have kids over there. They want to know if I had kids. And so I don't. But then we had the rager. So no, nobody came over. But I tell you, they don't want to put their business out there. But I have another neighbor who came over and dropped off some stuff.

It's an artist. And they came over. and say, hey, whole family. I wasn't there, by the way. But it was artist, a spouse thing, kid. And they dropped off like coffee cups and carmels and all. And it left a really nice note. I just wouldn't have known how to socially interact in that situation.

Wow, you live in like the best neighborhood. Do you invite them in? Do you have a long conversation? No, no. If they're brand new neighbors bringing that over, sure, maybe they make it to the entryway. But you don't have to bite them in. You can have porch talk. But how long is porch talk?

Because I feel like they walked over to my house. They brought all of this stuff. I'm awkward anyway at Small Talk. How much do I have to have the conversation? Because part of me wants to talk to my neighbor from across the street. Because the one about the party. Yeah. They've come back over and I wasn't there.

So I don't know how to do that. Like what are I talking about? Listen, when we went around, I took the kids to deliver cookies to our neighbors so they could meet them. and we dropped off the cookies, we said hello, they have their own life going on, we're knocking on their door, we're interrupting in and out though quick. I'm not expecting them to invite me in. I just say, hey, here's this, we introduce, say names,

be like if you ever need anything, let me know, vice versa. Have a great night. But it has to be on the person who knocks on the door to leave because I can't shove them out. Yes, the person, yeah, I agree. And we as the cookie delivers, I try to be aware of that because I can talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. But my husband was like, all right, let's go.

And then he would move us on. Well, so I'm in a pickle. Yeah. Yeah. Because I don't even want to answer the door if it's somebody new because I don't want to get. Because then again, what if I'm a little short and then they go, oh, that body bones is a real jerk. True. Ooh, you're in a predicament.

You've got too many nice neighbors. I know. I know. Sherry, what do you think about this? Well, I think that no one can think you're a jerk. And I think that you should do what you want to do if you're having your own party. Yeah. But I think that I couldn't, that's the first thing that's part you on.

mine is I thought, hey, you know, I wonder if Gladys Kravis come over to check out your party. Who? The person, you know, like, from Bewitch, but, you know, always. Oh, Gladys, yes, the neighbor. Yes, I know. Amy's son's girlfriend's also named Gladys. Right.

That's what, yes, but Gladys on Bewitch, who was always nosy. Yeah, always know. Hey, thank you for the call. I appreciate you. Thank you. So, there, there you go. No, new house life. What artist?

Yeah. No. It's their business. I don't want to their business. I'm just respecting privacy. You're no fun. Zero fun. What's our address? Have you heard that lunchboxes is going to strike if he doesn't get paid for our show next Friday? Oh my goodness. Just that one day?

I don't know. So by the way, we're doing a live show from the Ryman Auditorium a week from today. And it's going to be on the Riemann Stage. Legendary, the home of the Grand Ole Opry, where it started, all the greats in country music. and they're letting us grace their stage, which, by the way, we don't really do live shows out of the studio.

I don't like them. But for that, are you kidding me? I was like, absolutely. So we're all excited to go and listeners can come watch. And lunchbox says, pay me. That's an appearance to you. Yeah, it's an appearance fee because I'm going outside the studio and I'm making an appearance somewhere where people can come and see us.

That's why you get paid. And if you don't get paid, you're going to strike. Strike. In what capacity? I'm just going to be marching around saying, Pay me. You're going to march. Yeah.

With a sign? We're in front of the actual place? Yeah. So you're going to pick it. Yeah. The Ryman, because you're not getting paid to do the radio show, which you are getting paid to the radio show. But I'm not getting paid to appear there. So I'm going to let them know that they're withholding my funds.

We is in the show. Because the rhyme is not doing anything except. Yeah, who you striking against? I'm striking against you guys. Oh. Oh, wow. Do you have any chance made up or anything? No, I haven't worked on that.

It'll take it. It takes a minute. So like Monday you'll share your chance with that? Yeah, I can share my chance. Okay. Lunchbox is it going to strike? How do we feel about that? I mean, whatever.

Whatever. You do you. Whatever. You do you. We're not joining you. Okay, all right. Bobby Bones is on. It's time for the good news.

With lunchbox. Yeah, it'll make something good. Back in 1944, Robert Lockard was in high school, but it's World War II. He says, you know what? I'm going to go serve my country. Drops out of high school and goes and serves. He gets all. these medals, but he's 94 years old now.

He sees all those medals and he thinks those are great, but he says, man, I want my high school diploma. He went back and he graduated from high school. That's awesome. How old? 94 years old. That's pretty cool. I wonder if, you know, you let him cheat off your paper.

Like, you're in class, and you see him struggling over there, but you know the answer. Yeah. And you go, hey, Wilbur. What's the name? Robert Locker. Close. Quite the young name for a 94-year-old. Hey Robert, you want to see my...

Look at that guy. That's cool. Do you think he gets invited to the, like, parties? Does he go to the all-night grad party? Oh, the kegher? Yeah. They should. He should.

It'd be like old school. We're going streaky. No, the old guy, blue. Blue. Blue, that's good. You're my boy, Blue. Lots of comments from people about yesterday's show and Eddie trying to steal bits. Oh.

Yeah, you want to hear some? Yeah, let's do. Yeah, let's do. This one from Roger MC. It says, hey, I feel like at Radio Amy has made a heel turn recently and joined Radio Lunchbox. It's like they've joined the NWO

and they've been taken to producer Eddie lately. It's awesome. That's true, this one's kind of for Eddie. Oh, but they said it's awesome. Yeah, I also like your heel turn. And I think you've turned heel because you're just tired because you have the kids all the time and you just don't put up with that crap.

Well, you may not notice it. Yeah, you may not notice it. But I'm edgier. Yeah, oh, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I don't time for stuff, you know. I like that. I like that.

I'm just trying to eat. Yeah. Like, you guys... Oh, so you're admitting. Well, I'm admitting that I'm trying to do a good job. Yeah. Here's another one from Ashley Ann. Why does Eddie keep trying to steal other people's things?

Elby's all I do is when. And now trying to tell Amy's jokes. Bring something original to the show, Eddie. Guys, I do. I have my son do movie reviews. That's true. And then finally, here's one that says, hey, don't let Eddie forget.

You good? Look at that white shirt. Dude, I got my yin and yang vibe going on this morning. Last time we were talking, I was like, hey, because you had, I guess they had announced you signed a deal with Columbia? Yes. I guess if you have a deal with a clothing company, do you get online and order stuff or they just keep it coming

to your house? It's a steady, it's like an IV drip of new swag. Do you have too much, though? Yes. It's just too much Columbia stuff. No, well, you can never have too much, but it's a lot. Do you have the space? Do you have a house? No. It's all happened rather quickly.

Like all of you being a star has happened rather quickly. Yeah, I'm still rocking the apartment life. Yeah. Do you worry about people finding out where you live? They already know. They do. People already know, yeah. I get, like, I've run into, like, fans in the elevator in my apartment. I had a guy the other day I was in there, and it was like, like, you say hello to someone

in an elevator. You guys do that, right? Yeah. How's your day kind of thing? And he just didn't really say anything. And I was kind of weirded out by it a little bit. And he just went, no lie, I'm standing there in the elevator. He's about to get off, and he just goes.

And selfies you without saying anything? He doesn't say anything and just goes right out of the elevator and didn't say a single thing to me the entire time. So, yeah, that was interesting. And he lives near you. Yeah. So he's probably in your underwear drawer right now because he knows you're right here. It's probably rifling around in there as we speak right now.

Look at this. Luke Combs is here. Let me tell you what song I really love. When this one came out, man. Crazy. It's a jam. It is. It is.

So if we're going to get deep in the details here, Rob, Rob's high school science teacher was my college roommate's mother. And that's the, he was the first guy I met in town because I was living with my college roommate. roommate. He was like, dude, my mom taught this guy who's got a publishing deal in Nashville. And I went and met this guy. and we hate each other.

And literally we hate each other. That's how the best friendships usually happen. Yes. Oh wait, you really did? We really did. We really did hate each other. I hated a strong word. Well, I mean, for you maybe, you know.

No, Rob, what was the quote, Rob? Let's get it on the air. Let's get it on the record. He did this on stage and a show. This is good. This is good. What did you say about me, Rob, when we met the day we met? I like to hear Rob say.

I like to hear him saying, too. Go ahead. I feel like we're going to be 52 years old and it's still going to happen. It is. So I met Lou. I thought I was like big-time songwriter guy, cocky kid kind of thing. And Luke came in and I was like, play me some of your songs, boy.

And he played me some of them. I said, well, you're pretty good singer, but you ain't got no songs. You kind of like a glorified karaoke singer. So basically... Said this is the first day we met. So basically, one of us thought the other was a karaoke singer and the other thought the other was an asshole.

And one was right. Yeah, I'm still a good karaoke singer. Look at this. Wow. And then when did y'all? become friends. Shortly thereafter. Yeah, we started writing together a couple weeks after that. I don't

know why, but I'm glad we did, though. Me too. You know? Look at a Dodge Neon, and he needed somebody to go play a show with him. I think it was Hickory. Yeah. Ashville. One. Raleigh. Raleigh, outside of Raleigh. Farm fest. Yeah. And so, I was like, what?

I was like, hey, this guy's pretty good guitar, so I'll go play and... Drove the Dodge Neon from Nashville to Raleigh and played an acoustic set. Yeah. And been friends ever since. Look at this. Crazy stuff. Look at that.

Hey, you know what I saw? I saw, were you part of that crew that went through Nashville at Post Malone? Yes. Yeah? So I'm a big post-mal in man. Same. But you actually hung out with the dude. Yeah.

What's he like? He's nice, man. I'm telling you. He really is. You know, he's super young. He's 22, I think. So I think he just wants to go play his shows and hang out, you know, which I can appreciate. You know what I mean?

It's like he's totally, he's very laid back. He's very, he's not like as wild as you would think, I think. He just likes to have a drink and have a cigarette and kind of relax, I guess, like anybody, you know? It seems like you guys are similar in that, and I mean this in the best way possible, in the most complimentary way. You kind of just don't care. Like you just do your thing. Sure.

I think that's why people are drawn to his thing for sure is that it's like he does what he wants to do and he doesn't apologize about it. And, you know, if people like it, then that's awesome. You know, and I think people are drawn to like, and it's definitely not a not caring thing in like a lazy way in any. No, no, and I don't mean that either. I mean, even for you, like you have you, you do you, and that's what you do. Yeah. And that's it.

Like you, and if anyone doesn't like it, that's okay. Yeah. But people love it as well. Yeah. And I think my, someone asked me like, what's your goal the other day? they were like, what's your goal when you play a show? And I was like, well, I'm not crazy enough to think that everyone's going to come to a show and be like, man, I love this guy. I love his music.

But no one's going to walk out of that place and go, that guy isn't good. They might not go buy my CD and buy my meet and greets or whatever, but they're not going to say, that guy doesn't work his ass off. And it isn't a great singer. No one's going to say that because that's what I have been working towards for a year. is just bringing a hardworking attitude to what we do, you know, whether that's playing 250 shows a year or writing 200 songs a year, whatever it is. I'm not going to go out and say I didn't give it everything that I had when I had the

opportunity to do so. What do you think about Eric Church? Love him. That's your dude, right? Yep. You guys are very similar in that too. He just does his thing. Yeah.

And you do your thing and you like it, cool. You don't. I'm still going to do my thing. And that's why I was so drawn to his stuff, you know, and obviously, you know, we went to the same college. I think people have heard that story a billion times by now. At least I've told it. But he said, a guy walked into my dorm room with an Eric Church CD and said, hey, this guy went to college here. And I think he's awesome.

And I put the CD in and I said, well, I think he's awesome too. And so I was just a fan for, you know, three years. I wasn't playing guitar at that point or anything. I was just an Eric Church fan. And then when I started to, you know, pick the guitar up and teach myself. college it was I just kind of was like man well this guy writes his own stuff so I want to write my own stuff you know and I think people were drawn to that for whatever reason you know I think it's just there's a you know it's like when I go when I go to an Eric church show I feel like he's talking

to me you know what I mean I'm like oh he's saying this this is what he's saying you know he wrote these words down and like I believe what he's saying you know that's what I wanted people to kind take away from from my thing too I guess are there any artists that you listen to and you go wow they're actually speaking like I speak because it's only one or two that I've ever listen to and go, oh, like he's talking, he's thinking what I think. I think, yeah, I think church is like that for me, definitely number one on my list for that stuff. I don't know.

You know, I'm a big fan of this party album. John Party record is just awesome. The California record? Yes. I mean, it's, you know, I've listened to that thing a million times. And there's something I just love about it. It feels authentic to me. It feels like genuine.

Like, I believe what he's saying, you know? I feel like it's hard to find an album where I'm like, I believe this guy. like this guy. Like when John Mayer sings, I feel like he thinks and says things that I would think and say. And he's like really one of the only artists that I've heard. And I go, oh, man, I totally, like I actually know what you're saying. Like, will your lyrics speak to me? Yes.

Yeah, that's a hard thing to find. I think that's why, you know, I got so attached to the church thing. It was like, man, this guy, like, I know this guy. I feel like I know this guy. You know what I mean? And I think that's a very strong thing. I feel like you have that connection with an artist, just solely based on what they're writing. is there a, because I can think of songs that, there are lyrics that pop in my mind.

I go, oh man, like that lyrics heavily influenced me. Or I remember a lyric talking about John Mayeron words. Like he has a, and stopped this train. He says, listen, you know, stop the train. I'm only good at being young. Like that's the only thing. I go, oh, man, like I understand that. I was always the young guy.

I was 23, 24. You know, as I get older, I'm like, man, the only thing I was good at was being the young person to do it. Counting Crows had the lyric, you know, when I look at the TV, I want to see myself looking back at me. Like that lyric's always stuck with me. What about you? You're hearing your music and go, man, that lyric, that's one right there. Yeah, I think a lot of it, you know,

relates to, because I've always been like a bigger dude. You know what I mean? Like, I was always like the funny, fat guy, like friend guy. I've always been that guy, which is okay. Guys, it's okay. He's pointing at people going to say. It's okay. You too can escape the grips of the

friend zone. No, but no, I think it's, I think so I don't know. I just always had kind of like a chip on my shoulder. You know what I mean? Like I feel like people really like judged me not even like even before I moved to Nashville. It was like I would be the guy playing like songs in a restaurant and people are like, oh yeah, like this guy's going to be any good, you know. Like I haven't even played anything. I'm walking on my guitar and they're already like, can't wait to listen to this guy while I'm eating my dinner, you know. Kind of things. I always had that chip on my shoulder. So, you know, I always had that chip on my shoulder. So, you know, I think a lot of boot left to fill. Eric Church was a song that I really related to a lot, you know, and, you know, I have a song called Can I Get an Outlaw?

And in no way it's like, is anyway, you know, there's country music Jesus by church too. And I think to any of those like chip on my shoulder things, like that always got me like so amped up to like want to go write a good song or sing like a really good cover of a song. You know, like I just related to that so much because I always felt like I was kind of the underdog. like in everything that I tried to do, you know, like I felt like I was taking at face value, like come in the room and go, here's the guy that's going to, you know, change your, you know, tire at the gas station, but he's not going to do anything else. You know, I feel like people always judged me based on the way I looked. You know, I was just like a doll, just look at this redneck kind of overweight guy.

He's not really going to do anything. And so I had, I felt like I had a lot to prove when I moved to town. You know, people always told me I was just going to be a songwriter because I didn't have the look or I wasn't going to be. you know, well, he doesn't, you know, you got great songs. You know, I would go into some meetings and they'd be like, well, who do you want, you know, who do you want us to pitch these songs to? I said, who do you have to, I mean, I'm singing them. Did you not hear me sing that?

You know what I mean? I mean, not to be cocky, but, you know, and so I just thought that, you know, it took a lot of work for me to kind of overcome that. I had to go out and, like, earn my fans and, like, prove that I, that people would like my music before someone signed up and said, oh, yeah, this guy's, he's got something going on, you know. I had to build the brand a little bit before someone bought into it. Do you ever talk to anybody? Like you ever go to a therapist or anything and, you know, pour it out a little bit? No, I just drink a lot. Yeah. That's a, yeah. I just kidding.

Yeah. No, you know, I don't know. I've, you know, I've gotten past that, that point. Obviously, things are going really well, but I still, that's kind of the attitude I try to, you know, even, you know, with, with anything, I think it's, I think that attitude of, staying hungry is the recipe for success in whatever you're doing, whether you want to be a baseball player or you want to be an accountant or whatever. If you're not striving to be the best, I think there has to be that little bit of like, well, some people don't think I'm the best, so I'm going to prove to them that I am the best. Like that was the drive that got me, you know, to get in the deal and writing all these songs.

And that's what I wanted to do is I wanted to be the best, man. I didn't want to be a sixth man of the year. I wanted to be Michael Jordan. I think that was the kind of the mindset, at least, that pushed me to, at least this point, you know. Luke Combs is here. You know, for me, when I started to have a bit of success, because I came from a tiny town in Arkansas,

700 people, food stamp kid. And for me it was when I was finally to buy my mom and some land, I bought a couple acres, water trailer. For me, that was like the one thing where I was like, man, this is what it's about. Yes. Like I'm starting to make it. I was able to do that for,

her. So here you are. You got all the, by the way, we're talking about a new record in a second, the new part of the record. But what about it for you at this stage? Because you don't really seem like a guy that's going to go to excess and buy three Lamborghinis. No, definitely not. What have you done that you feel like, man, that's what it's about? My dad got to retire a couple weeks ago. And he's been, I mean, he's been a maintenance man for the last 35 years. He's 64. And he got to retire a couple weeks ago. And, uh, he got to retire a couple weeks ago and he got to, I flew him out to Vegas for the ACMs and he got to hang. He never been to Vegas. He never really been on the West Coast. And then he rode the bus with me for like

the end of my tour for like a week and a half and went up to Portland and Seattle. And, you know, and if it wasn't for me kind of saying, hey, man, like you guys can relax, you know, a little bit financially. My dad wouldn't have been able to retire, you know, and my mom just doesn't want to retire yet. She just wants to keep working for whatever reason. But that's awesome that man, right? That was it. You know what I mean? Like when my dad came out and he was like, you know, I never got to work again, you know?

I mean, when we had that conversation, I was at home in Asheville and, you know, we didn't have really much. I was an only child and I always asked my parents. I'm like, why was I an only child? You know what I mean? Because I would, my buddies had brothers and sisters and they were like, well, we just couldn't afford another kid, you know?

And so that was kind of like a stark wake up call for me. It's like, Like, my parents have always lived very within their means. And, I mean, they got a perfect credit score and they aren't in debt. But we didn't have everything that I wanted, but I had everything that I needed. You know what I mean? I had food. I had a roof.

I had a bed. I had a room. And so I wanted to be able to afford my parents at least a little bit of the relief of, like, that worrying, like, how am I going to pay the mortgage every month? and when are the bills do? And, I mean, when I got my parents, you know, I got a new living room set for their house, and they were like, well, you know, this is really expensive. I said, well, just get it.

Like, I'm not asking what it is. Like, tell me what you want and what you like and just get it and just don't worry about it. And they still can't, like, grasp that idea because they're so used to, like, my parents just built an add-on. I just helped them with an add-on to their deck. And my mom called me the other day, and I ended up getting them some.

deck furniture. I got it for my mom for Mother's Day because my dad was like, well, I don't see why we can't just use camp chairs. Like I'm talking like Walmart, like $5. Camp chairs, they've built this incredible new deck on their house. It's got fans in the roof and he wants to sit out there in camp chairs because that's just, that's just the way we did growing up, you know? And so I had to just kind of go around his back and get mom some deck furniture just so my dad wouldn't be out there on camp chairs. people came into the house. That's what it's about, man.

It is. It is. Look at this guy. Luke Combs is here. By the way, let me say this. This one's for you, too, is out. Five new songs. So let me run some of this here.

Houston, we got a problem. I don't miss for Texas T-shirt. And a long star post card postmarked missing you. What's that? It's got the biggest guy you've ever saved. You like listening back to your own stuff? At the beginning. Yeah?

Yeah. No, it's cool having the new music is really cool. Here's this one. Must have never met you. I guess who ever said to grass is greater, she's stronger. Sure sounds like I said it up. Come on. Bringing it back.

Look at this. Beautiful crazy. Played that one. Here's a long way. Back when everything seemed just a little bit stronger. Back when I'm going to love it. You let your boys playing your stuff? No, they do not.

They do not. Sometimes they're upset with me. One song. One song. One small. One small song. What happened? What's the one song?

One number away. Oh, yeah? Yeah. These guys both sang backgrounds on that. Yeah? Yeah. That high BGV, man. That high BGV sells it.

I saw the CMA award. VGVs of the year. You guys are up for it. BGVs of the year. That's a background vocal. Do you know that? Oh, back. BGV. I'm just making sure. I wouldn't have known that if I didn't.

I didn't know, so thank you for clarifying. And then, let's see, Luke Combs is here. Why don't we play this one? She's got the best of me. You got to play that one? Yeah. All right. Luke Combs is here. This maybe it'll be a radio song one day.

Maybe it won't. I think the song's awesome. So Luke Combs is here. We've got a new record. Five new songs. This one's for you, too. And it's out. and this one's called She's Got the Best of Me.

Hey guys, so because of licensing roles, we can't play anything with music on this IHeartRadio 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.

Oh, on, Luke Cohn's here. Thank you. Holy cow. Well, let me say this, Luke. First of all, I'll remind everybody again, Luke has new music out. It's got five new songs. This one's for you, too. And maybe you don't have the first.

This one's for you. Before it was two. Yes, before it was T-O-O. Yes. So check the record out. Go see them live. You want to hear a crowd sing loud? Go to a Luke Holmes show.

Holy mackerel, man. So there's that. Here's something, too, that happened. And I don't know. But I know when my birthday came up, I had a pair of shoes that said from Luke Combs. and I was like, oh, this is very nice. And it had the razorbacks on it.

I'm going to tell you what that did for me. First of all, I love shoes, and I appreciate that. So person to person, like, I appreciate that. But it's made me so much more cognizant of other people's small, even birthdays. Like, that meant so much to me as a person. Little things. I now try to keep up with other people's birthday. Because mostly I'm like, I don't like birthdays for me because I never got birthdays

as a kid. So just a thing, I try to stay away from it. But that was such a nice gesture that I have. I've tried to become a better person at remembering people's birthdays. So I appreciate that. Yes. So thank you for that. Dude, that was literal, like, I know sometimes, like, you get stuff and it's like, from

someone's always like, dude, that was literally me on my cell phone on eBay. And those are like, those were, like, issued to. And I was going to wear them today, but I was like, how geeky would that be if I wore the shoes, what comes gave me on? But they were like issued to, like, you can't buy those. Those were like something that were, like, issued to an athlete. And what am I? An athlete.

Absolutely. Absolutely. So not only did you give me a pair of shoes, but you gave me a better perspective at treating other people. So I appreciated that. Of course, man. That was cool. Of course. Luke Combs is here. Amy, anything you want to say? Man, I kind of wish he could have time to sing another song, but he probably doesn't. I don't care. Do you guys care? Did you just ask him singing? I wasn't going to ask him singing. Listen, this is not, I didn't ask to sing another song. I mean, I thought the BGBs were great on that song, by the way, boys. Like, I was listening. Actually, when they were performing, I was like, wait.

And my question too is why? Because you were like, no, I don't. You were just very matter of fact about it. Like, why don't they sing on your, like. Hmm. Is this? Like, why don't they sing? Oh, we're open to this camera.

Listen, I didn't open the can. We did have time. Now we don't. No, I just don't like them that much, really, to be honest with you. I don't like them. Honesty comes out. Yeah, we all hate each other. So, we're going to play a little.

I never can tell if Luke. serious or not. Like you're really good at... Okay. I'm about to walk out of here. Okay. We're going to do, for real, though, this is the real dream team here. One number? And he brought up John Mayer. There is a John Mayer reference in the song.

I have fought so hard to get John May in a song. This is it. And Johnny May made his appearance in one number away. Okay, I have to listen for this. All right, here we go. Luke comes. Come on. Come on. Look at this guy. Okay, thank you. Man, we're done now.

Look at this. That was so good. Thank you. This one's for you two out today. Also, watch for the Leon Bridges Crossroads. Yes. That would be really freaking. I'm a huge Leon Bridges fan.

Stoked about that. I'm really excited. Yeah, look at that. Look at you guys. Well, this has been a good talk. I'll tell you. This has been a good. I'm glad you came by.

Yes, likewise. Amy, you're happy they came by? I am. Yeah, you look like it over there. Thanks for the second song, too. You're very welcome. Did someone tell you to ask for that or did you just go from your heart? I went from my heart.

Okay, that's all we can ask for, right? That one that you tell me to do? Go from my heart. Yeah, go from your heart. All right, Lou, good to see you. Good to see you. Black, lost. Yep.

Get your bones on the Bobby Bones show. Amy has the reputation of losing things. And then most of the time it gets brought back to you somehow. It's crazy. Even my husband is over it. He can't believe it. So her phone was lost once. They found it.

They tracked me down, which got it to her. Yeah. This is, I guess, before I locked my phone. They just went to Bobby Bones. I called you. Lost your Wolloll. wallet at the airport? Only because I lost my phone and I was using the pay phone. So I left my wallet at the pay phone. And the joke has always been whatever Amy loses comes back to her.

Finally, she lost her credit card at the grocery store. Yeah. And so you went back? Yeah. So didn't have my credit card for a day. It was about to cancel it because this is just not good, you know, but I was watching transactions. Nothing crazy had happened. So I thought, okay, retraced all of my steps. The last place I thought it was going to be was this little grocery store by my house because I just didn't remember using it there. I paid cash. And someone, I guess it was in my lap or fell out of my bag or whatever. It was in the parking lot. I walked in.

I said, look, you're not going to have this. But is there a Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card here? And they were like, you know what? You're not going to believe this. But someone walked in and turned this in last night. Oh, my goodness. How do you do it? I said, what?

Oh, my goodness. I said, do you know who the person is? Because I want to hug them. I want to buy them juice. Did they work here? They were like, no, it was just a customer. But your card's in the safe. Let me go get it.

So they went back to the safe. brought me out my credit card, whoop, whoop, I couldn't believe it. How about that? I know. How about that? I was so close to canceling it. I'm so glad I didn't because then you got to go, you know, redo all your bills. How about that?

Man. Pimp and joy. You've been living a good life. I love it. Yeah. I love life. So there's that. She loves life.

She just declared publicly that she loves life. Good. And I love nice people that also love life and turn things in because they could have gone shopping. Let me tell you. I raised my credit limit. Good for you. Look at that. We're not rooting against you.

We just wish one time it wouldn't work out for you. I know. That's the same thing with my husband. I mean, he was so, he was like, we should already cancel it. We should already cancel it. And I said, no, we need to hold off. Just give it a day. And then I come home, I go, guess what I got?

And he was like, your credit card. On this day in 1991, Diamond Rio got their first number one with. Meat in the middle. Jam. They were the first country group in history to have their debut single go number one, Diamond Rio, 1991. This was the first concert

I ever went to him my whole life at Magic Springs theme park Diamond Rio played and went with my church group. One of the greatest nights of my life. I can see how that is. I'm telling you, I was 10, 11 years old. My second concert ever went to

was Peter Frampton. And he was even old then. Dang. Yeah. Comes alive? Why was that? Because he was playing Little Rock, and it was just a concert, and he's playing in the river, so I went and watched it. Do you know who Peter Frampton is?

I mean, if you play his stuff, yeah. He talks through a tube with his guitar. It's really cool. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to Google him. Lunch, you may not know him. Mostly because you don't know any music.

Why am I thinking I know him? Does he do puff the Magic Dragon? No. I think that's Peter Paul and Mary. I know that from St. By the Bell. I love your way. Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.

Every day. Yeah. You play this when you went, Bones? Yeah, I played all the hits. My first concert was Diamond Rio. My second concert was Peter Frampton. My third concert was Skinnerd. Dang.

My fourth concert was John Fogarty. How do you remember all this? I love music. I, okay, I know. I love music. I remember my first one, but I can tell you, like, my second. Oh, well, I can probably go 10 deep. Ten deep?

Probably, yeah. I remember seeing Bush and the Goo Goo Goo Dolls when I was a teenager and there was this random group that was playing ahead of them and I just remember this lead singer was climbing everything

and I was going this person's nuts they're gonna fall and hurt themselves and they're never gonna be a band and it was no doubt it was Gwen Stefani climbing all the rails they didn't have a song out or anything

but yeah I could probably go 10 deep on concerts Oh I can go too deep Yeah you know this one Yeah Yes I want to tell you the world

You probably know, I mean, you probably know a lot. I mean, I'm not even a huge friend. I mean, I'm an okay, Franklin fan. I don't feel like going down that alley right now, though. But yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's dad. The teens don't care about Facebook anymore. Only 10% of teens say it's their main social network. Wow.

You know, we don't, you know what I mean? Yeah, you're such a teenager. Yeah, yeah, we don't care about it anymore. Listen, I don't really get on Facebook anymore. I think the culture of Facebook has become rotten, and it's hard to shake that. Yeah, I mean, I have a personal page. I never post.

Maybe once every three months or so. Now, the show page, we keep going a lot. Morgan number two runs that. And I'll peek over there about once a month and see what's going on. It usually scares me back out pretty quick. I'd be like, ooh, let me look. We posted it, tell me something good. And then people just ripping me.

It has nothing to do with the story. They're crazy. So, but yeah, here we go. Because this is what happens. Teens are always the first. Music, anything inside of a creative culture, teens are the first ones to hop on and tell us that it's cool. According to the new survey,

teenagers don't care about Facebook. Let's see. 85% use YouTube. That's the biggest. 72% use Instagram. Luckily for Facebook, they also own that. I know, because I was like, oh, poor Mark Zuckerberg, what's he going to do? Snapchat's big again with the teen.

69%. It's close to, and then Twitter's at 33%. Yeah. My sister said she mostly keeps up with her daughter, my niece, on Snapchat. Yeah. And I was like, oh, okay. And she's my, she's like 15, 16. I'm on Twitter more than anything.

I just love news. Love news. Love the direct talking to people. So I'm on Twitter the most. Hey, Morgan number two, you're 24. Basically a teen. What do you think about this? I mean, I think it's pretty accurate.

I don't really use Facebook at all anymore unless it's for the show. Yeah, they're all, everybody, you know, they're all Russians hacking our stuff too. You know, it's tough. It's tough. So, yeah, there's that. Oh, here's the drama. You hear a little drama? Okay.

You know earlier in the show, we were talking about these knucklehead sports show? Mm-hmm. Soil losers. Yeah, the sore losers. We talked about that a bit. And so I said, hey, why don't you guys talk about the basketball game last night that happened on the bobbycats feed? Just a practice run, 10 minutes. They don't want to do it.

They're holding out. Why? I don't know. Why? Like practice, warm up? Because we don't have a contract. You don't need a contract. It's just a fun thing.

I did mine for a month with nothing, with nothing. you can't put the, what do you call it any, the cart in front of the horse? Sure you can. You have to put the cart in front of the horse. No, physically that doesn't work. Physics says. A horse can push a cart, no problem. Dang it, he got us.

Anyway, if any one or two or three of you want to do it, it's open for after the show. You want to talk about the basketball game last night. I want to do it. Raymond's going to do it. So if Ray does it by himself. Yes, Ray, if no one of the sore losers with me. I'll do it with you. Bobby, you and Bobby are a team, and Bobby says, okay, Amy, I don't care what you say.

I'm going to go ahead and do whatever I want to do it. Oh, okay. Let me do it. Oh, you do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll forget it. Wait, so wait, that's why y'all are upset because Ray's going to do it. I just feel like there's never a decision made by all three of us.

Oh, well, do you want an outside perspective of just, like, I get it. Y'all probably want some things lined up. Totally get it. But like, Bobby has already a built-in audience with the Bobby cast. It's great. Y'all are about to launch this. You want it to be successful. You want people to be like, hey, I want to check out this podcast.

You have all these listeners that are, you have 10. Bobby's giving you 10 minutes of his platform for you to go on and do it. Like, it's 10 minutes and talk about something you love anyway. Oh, I'm not that valuable anyway. Yeah. Oh, I'm not saying that. No, you're not. You've never even done a show. I'm just saying it's a cool opportunity.

You can do it. You can do it. You know. I want to listen. Why would you blow an opportunity to even just go on? I did this Bobbycast for free for two years. Anyway. That's these guys' business mind over here.

Somebody's polluting their system. It's time for the good news. With Amy. Tell me something good. So there's a couple. The guy has cancer. The girl sticks by his side, supporting him the entire time.

It's a three-year battle fighting the cancer, putting off their relationships sort of, like the progressiveness of the relationship, getting married, and all that thing. Well, the Iowa couple finally said I do, thanks to people in the community and a GoFundMe page that was put together. Obviously, a lot of their finances tied up in medical care.

But everyone came together and provided all the things, the cake, the photography, everything set up through the GoFundMe page. In Iowa. Let me tell you about those Iowans. They like the nicest people ever? I've said it before. I loved it there. They were so nice and it smelled like crunchberries.

So, yeah. What's that all about? Well, the Crunchberry factory is there. Get out of here. Yeah. Pretty amazing. It was the nicest people. And then that's why I'm going back again in a couple months.

The show sold out. So I'm not saying, come. It's already sold out. I'm telling you, it's amazing. That sounds amazing. So they went from a simple courthouse wedding to this big party. And Holly the bride, she said, it was such an awesome way to celebrate our love and to celebrate that Eric, her husband, is still alive and hanging out and doing all this.

So shout out. Let me also say that we have these Pimp and Joy shirts. They're going up at 9 Central, and what they're doing is helping service members get service dogs. That's what it's all about. Military vets, the PTSD, they've been injured, they need service dogs. All you have to do, 9 Central. So 10 Eastern, 9 Central, 8 Mountain, 7 Pacific, all the same time. They go up at Bobby Bones.com.

We'd love for you to check that out. Amy, thank you for the story. That was Tell Me Something Good So the spelling bee was last night I didn't know until I saw Lunchbox tweeting about it Oh man it was intense You know because I was watching the basketball game Which was the same thing lunchbox was giving me crap

Because I was watching The Bachelor that Why he was watching the basketball game Oh such a true point Valid? Hold on, I watched the basketball game also And I watched the basketball game also too But that didn't stop you from railing on me Because I DVR the basketball game

And then whenever the spelling bee would go to commercial I would watch a little bit, pause it, go back and watch the spelling. You pause live sporting events? Yeah. That's crazy. Here we go. This is the kid who won the 2018 Scripps National Spelling Bee. Koinania, Kina Nia.

Koinanina. K-O-I-N-O-N-I-A coin. That is correct. For me, the debate would be... What does it even mean? They would say, coin a knee. I would go, not a word. Next.

Prove it to me. Yeah, I don't think of the word. So, next. Did the girl miss it before he went up? Yeah, the girl, they went to championship words, which is, I guess, harder words at that point. And she missed the first one on the championship word list. And then he nailed his two, and boom, it was awesome. They were both from the Dallas area, so they're regional.

They faced each other numerous times. Didn't she beat him? Yes. I saw that. And then he came back, and it was great. When she missed her word, as she's spelling it, when she messed up, you can see him in the background. Start shaking his head, nope, you got it wrong, girl. You got it wrong.

that's not right. And they ding her and he goes, and he knew it. He was like, I'm coming to get it. It was taunting at the spelling of me. It was so great. For someone who hates on people like myself nerds. Yeah, oh, these kids are super nerds.

But you are nerding out over the nerds. Yeah, because it's so funny because I look at them and I think those people, A, have no friends because they read the dictionary all day. They study for hours upon hours every day to learn those words. Okay. And they, it's just, they look so socially awkward. Okay. Like when they high five each other, it's like they've never given a high five so they don't

know how to do it. It's so weird. Those are the kids that are doing things like curing cancer. Yeah, the girl that got second place, her dream is to be a brain surgeon. Amazing. You may need that one day. I wonder, do you feel about them, you saying this stuff? Yeah, I'm nerds.

No, you just read. Do you feel that way about me? A little bit. Yeah, that's how you were in high school, I feel like. But even now. Yes, I feel like you don't have any fun and you don't relax. You don't enjoy yourself. Do I high five awkward?

No, because you play. Let's see. Like when they say, oh, our favorite athlete is so, like, they'll put it on their little I'm like, these guys don't like sports. Come on. Like, they're just trying to make them seem normal. What about their favorite athlete? Yeah.

They would put their favorite author or something. Why is that weird to you? How much you read all the time? Not when I was that age. Oh. Only as in a note. But you like that. show. Oh, it's so great. And the guy, I like the guy that, and then there's announcers that

break it down. Oh, this guy, he's really flying under the radar coming into this competition. That's what you want. Analyst. Oh, it's so funny. No one saw him making it this far, but now he's put himself on the map. As Amy asked, I don't know what this word means. Coimonia? Do you know? No, I don't know. I don't even know how you spell. I don't know if it starts with a KRC. Do you know the irony in all of this, even more so, is that you're fascinated with teen mom and 16 and pregnant. Yeah, so good. And these kids, I guarantee. I guarantee. you they don't watch that. Yeah, I would think not too.

That's what I'm saying. They don't have any fun. They got to enjoy some TV. But they always say, can I get an alternate definition? The root of origin? I don't even know what root of origin means. That helps them probably figure out what the letter starts with. You're right.

Or what it comes from and how they spell it based on if it's Latin because there are different letter patterns. Like what are Latin word letter patterns? I don't know. What is the Christian fellowship or body of believers. What? Quinonea. Oh, that sounds.

Kona Nia? Again, I would be like, not a word, Jim. Not full of me. Coin a Nia. C-O-I-N-C-O-N-C-O-H-N-E-H, N-E-A-H, Kona-N-A-H. Boom. And here's the bad thing about the spelling bee. They should ding it when they get it right.

That's right. Not when they get it wrong. They should change that. First thing I'm doing is leader of spelling bee, whatever, president of the United States. I'm changing that. What's the sound if they get it right? Nothing. Just nothing.

You just sit down. It should be, if you just be. you get it right. And if you get it wrong. Okay. Go home. Like, I felt bad. The girl, her first word on the championship word was

B-W-S-T-L-L-A-G-E. B-E-W-S-T-S-E-I-N-S-L-A-G-E. What in the world is that? Thank you. Here we go. Here is a kid who wants to get rid of homework. I got stressed by homework a lot. So I just, it took me like a minute.

of thinking, I want to get rid of homework. So he took it to the school district, and the district says it's rethinking its homework concepts based on this kid. This is Christopher explaining why he wants to get rid of homework. That was it. I got stressed by homework a lot. Oh, boo-hoo. I like this kid. This is my type of kid over those other kids.

Yeah, but you're the type of kids. Yeah. I mean, I didn't do homework anymore. So if they're considering it, they must realize there's, he's got a point? Like, I don't know the rest of it. At the same point that you give participation trophies. Okay. What if the point is like go enjoy life after school?

That's not what life's about. Life is not about, hey everybody, you should spend more time just enjoying it. No. It should be. My kids' school, homework's optional. And I don't know if it's because they're in a special English as a second language program. And so a lot of the parents of these kids do not speak English. They just move to America.

So I don't know if that's why or what the deal is. But like, they literally, it's up to you. Because they don't have parents that can help enforce it. So it's not fair to have some kids that don't have parents that will be like, do your homework. Special circumstance. Absolutely in your case. Your kids do not come from America. They're learning English themselves.

The parents may not know English. However. Well, we enforce the homework at our house. Absolutely, you should. Because when you get into the real world, it's not, you know what? If you feel like working after work today because you didn't get everything done, yeah, you don't have to. You're good.

Just do your deal. Okay. We'll see tomorrow. Go live your life. Go have fun. Get a smile. Unless you work at the factory and then it's like, right when you clock out, it's over. Yeah, but then don't meet your quota at the factory and see if you last.

Oh, that's true. So. Point body. No, we're not teaching our kids how life is. This is the same thing as participation trophies and ribbons and everybody gets on the team. You have to and everyone has to or you get fired or you don't get fired. promoted. We're just teaching our, and you're part of that system lunchbox. Look, my high school, the homework was optional. That's my case. Were you in a special program?

Well, I mean, I just didn't do it. It was optional for me. Much like you're dealing with lunchbox. Raymond, our producer, told me yesterday that lunchbox has lost 39 games in a row on the show. Now, it's a funny stat. They went and dug up. But what I would like to ask is, like, we could play a game and name that tune. But the problem is if you lose it, it's 40. You don't want to get to 40. It's up to you. Whatever, I'm not scared of losing. Okay.

40's a big number. 40's a big number. Yeah. But you've lost 39 games in a row. It's going to happen. That's just a made-up number just to make me feel bad. And I'm not worried about it. Raven, did you make that up?

39 in a row. See, he just made it up. He didn't say yes or no. He just said 39 in a row. They literally went through the games. Okay. Regardless, we can play one coming up. Yeah, no, let's play.

I got a pin ready. We'll come over to it. Due to the stats from Mike D. Raymond and the rest of the staff, Eddie's won 75% or 76% of the games. Wow. I thought you were to say 75 in a row. No, no, that's not right. Over the last three months, Amy's won a quarter of the games and Launchbox has lost 39. Yeah, and I can't.

Because Eddie can see the screen when you hit him. No, I can't. Oh, you can't? Yeah, you can't. You can see the screen right there. I'm almost 40 years old. I can't see that far. Don't lie.

See, now he moves because he knows. By the way, a lot of people are asking me, remember Heats, Amy, what did you just do? Burm? What was that? What was that? Amy, you burped in blue. That was like a mouth fart.

It was not a burp. It was not a burp. I don't know. My teeth. I said, my dad drank club soda. That wasn't your teeth. I don't know what it was. It was not a burp.

Go. People have been calling asking me about Heath Sanders. Remember Heath Sanders? Yes. He came in. He was the oil fill worker in Arkansas. He drove up, played on our show, went and looked at a couple record labels. So they're like, hey, what's the deal with him?

Well, here's what I know about Heath is that he's opening my stand-up show for me in Arkansas. That's cool. So he's playing locally. I'm going to see him and catch up with him because I'm playing in Little Rock. That's cool. And I was like, hey, come, I'll pay you, open up. I want everybody to see you. But I'm doing that show coming up in a couple months in Little Rock.

So I'll find out then. But it made me think, what have we not been updating our listeners on that people were like, Hey, so here, if there's one, you can call us, 877-Bobby. There's anything you want to be updated on. Apparently Amy's got a new gas problem. That's something. What? No.

She's burping during the show now. Yeah, yeah. Something weird with my tongue and my tooth. Is that one way? Hey, Karen and Georgia, hello. Hi, Bobby. What's that? Thank you very much.

What's having him? Yeah, this kid says, hey, I don't like doing homework. So, will you stop it? And so the school said, okay, optional homework. And I was like, what are we doing? Are we teaching our kids that you can just go, I don't like it. Please make it easier,

because that's what life's about. No, you're not teaching on that. I'm a teach, and we decided to scale back homework. Sounds like you're softening the kids to me. I load them up. Load them up. And I would see it comes back with the most.

And whoever came back with them most, you get an egg, because that's what life is. That's what life's a... It's not nice. No one says it's comfortable. Life's not comfortable. Bobby, listen.

Karen. Okay, go ahead. If not, listen to me. Okay. They're reported as well. They need to learn how to work as a team. I think all that's right. But I don't think you do seven things.

In life, we can't have seven hobbies all day. We pick our couple, and we do those if we can. I'm just saying, let's not soften the kids up so much. You know, oh, you finish seventh. You get the same trophies as everybody else. That's basically what that is. No, come on. But Karen, I appreciate what you do, by the way.

Very selfless to be a teacher nowadays. I love that. Listen. Why? Are you still yelling at me? Yeah, I've got my teacher voice. Go ahead. So we decided family time was very important. Yes, I love this.

So I think that... Sounds to me like you don't want a great homework. That's what it sounds like to me, Karen. Well, you know what? Yeah. And you know what? I don't go home every night and not have family time with my family. I agree with that.

That I can agree with, but we also got to the root of it right there. That's all the way back around. I absolutely agree, Karen, you do not get paid enough. We do not pay our teachers enough because what they're doing is they're bringing up our next generation and leaders. And shouldn't we be supporting our next generation? Yes. Because we're not.

We're not. We're terrible at it. Karen, like all sincerity, I really appreciate what you do. But it should be doing it. But it should be better pay so you don't have to pay for your own schoolroom supplies, you know what I mean? But it worked out well for us this year. And we gave homework as needed.

Yeah, they need to a little more if you ask me. Hey, Karen, thank you for listening. I appreciate it. Hey, where do you teach? You want to shout out or no? About Elementary and Valdosta, Georgia. Oh, man, I used to go to Badaosta. Let me tell you about Adosta.

I would go down there. I was doing play about playing in color commentary for Henderson State University football. We would get crushed. Listen, we in football country. Oh, I know. That's why you know I'm time for homework. That's right. That's why you got to do all the practices.

That's right. Karen, appreciate it. We are raising well-rounded children down here. I appreciate you calling. Have a great day. Hope your weekend's awesome. Thank you. All right.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, there it is. That's a good. That's a good call, huh? Yeah, we like Karen. No, no, no. I turned her. Didn't you guys see that? The root of the problem was what?

The teachers aren't getting paid in now. That's it. Like, I turned her right there. A gauge in Kansas. What's up, boy? Not much, man. How's the good one? Man, it's Friday.

Pretty pumped about that. What about you? Oh, I got to work all the weekend, so... What you do? Friday's another day. I'm a utility locator. So are you off during the week then in your high volume hours of the weekend? No, I work seven-minute weeks.

That's what I'm talking about right there. That's what I'm talking about. That hard work. That's right. I got to provide for somebody, right? I got my dog. I'm like you, man. I'm a single brangle.

Huh. We're just getting our lucky charms on, you know what I mean? Lucky charms, you eat all the oats. That's the hard work. The marshmallows are at the end. I'll gauge and myself, I single pringles, we're eating all our oats. So later on, we can have our marshmallows. When are you planning on eating your marshmallows?

Yeah, you're running out of time. Gage, when you can eat your marshmallows? Well, let's see. I'm not real sure, man. I'm looking forward to it, though. Me too. That's how I feel like I'm not sure, but when I do, I'm going full marshmallow, baby. You guys are not going to be able to walk?

Whole d-milk, man. That's, I mean, that's how I'm going. Yeah, look at this guy over. I like this Gage guy. We're a lot of like. Gage, you have any questions you want to ask us? Well, I was wondering if I could get the update on that movie that you're supposed to watch. So it makes you cry?

Yeah, I haven't cried yet. I haven't watched that movie yet. I started watching Evil Genius on Netflix. Oh, my gosh. It's so good. And it took me away from it. And evil genius, I thought, was that talking baby. I was like, I'm not watching this.

the baby genius or whatever. You know, there's some baby super smart baby movie? I thought that's what it was. I don't know what you're talking about. So then I realize it's a documentary series and it's a in Erie, Pennsylvania, there was a bank that was robbed

by a guy with a bomb around his neck. And he goes, I have a bomb, give me all your money. And they did, they gave them, you know, thousands of dollars. And so I'm not ruining the movie by telling you this because it says it in the first few minutes. It's a documentary series. And what happens is he goes in and the cops go, that's fake bomb. You just robbed the bank with a fake bomb.

goes, no, no, no, no, no. It's not fake. And they're like, stop it. And they look at it and they go, oh my goodness. Then the bomb blows his head off. That's crazy. And so they're trying to figure who put the bomb on his neck. And if he was involved in it, then that's the four-point. It was amazing. I didn't cry, though. No, no. Holy crap. So that was good on Netflix. You started watching 13 reasons why? Yeah, I didn't make it past episode one. It's not good? No. I mean, unless somebody tells me otherwise, I'm not going to waste my time on it. I was not drawn in by episode one, I just was like, this is not that great to me. So if I start hearing from other people, like Bobby convinced me to watch evil genius

because it's like so amazing. Did you watch it? I've started it. My husband and I are on, we just started episode three. Are you blown away by it? I'm blown away. Blown away. That?

We were at a dinner last night. It's all we talked about. Right. We convinced everybody at our table to start watching it. That in Wild Wild Country, which is a little longer endeavor. Same brothers do it. Duplas brothers. You told me that.

That's crazy. The same guys did. them, but that's a documentary series too. Woo-hoo! Our world's crazy. It's so crazy. It's crazy. You have to watch a documentary to see all that, because I don't remember any of those things.

It happened in America. Morgan number two, what are you snickering at over there? I'm just listening. I want to decide if I'm going to watch them. Oh, yeah. What else would you be watching? Like Barbie or something? I'm watching 902.10 right now. Exactly. You laughed at me, but exactly.

It's a good show. You went back to the beginning. I haven't watched it before, yeah. Ever? I'm watching it. Because she wasn't born. Why would you waste your mental real estate on an old show from that long ago? Yeah.

It's kind of like if I hadn't watched friends, I'd watch that. Yeah, I get it. All right, cool. Hey, thanks for the talk, Morgan, number two. You want to hear a message agent guy? Yes. Most parents say there's too much homework. As a dude without kids, you should be careful not to take so strong a stance when you'll piss moms off.

Oh. Ooh. No, not ooh. Good point. Let them come do this. Oh. Through 15 years. Yeah.

And you wouldn't let a message like that change your mind on something. No. No. No. Yeah. But that, you know what? Pizz me off?

Those kind of messages from people who've never done this. I don't like the P word. What? It's after 8.57. Who cares? Yeah. It just means you're really mad about something. I know what it means, Eddie.

You're upset. Angry. It's just like. Frustrated. What's up? It just sounds like so. But that's what he wrote and I just went off the backside of it. I don't even, I don't really say that one, but I already said it in the email.

I know. but it's like, ooh, you should do your radio show differently because this is how I think you should do your radio. And I'm going, wait, hmm, don't they know. I'm in the Radio Hall of Fame. No, do they know that? They probably didn't. I don't know if they know that.

Update. I don't know if they know that. Yeah, probably shouldn't be, but I am. You want to play name that tune real quick? Yes. That really does get into my skin a little bit. When, like, radio programmers tell me how to do a radio show. They've never done a radio show.

That would be like me calling Charles Kelly and Hillary Scott, Lady A, you're going, Guys, you should probably sing this a little bit better. Yes. Like, you know, I don't like how you did that run. And, you know, I just... I understand that comparison. I don't even get irritated often because I'm like, who cares? Like a little bit.

As a single guy, you probably stop it. Man. Put a trap on it, tell him. Put a trap on it. That's the response. What's that even mean? Like a muzzle. Yeah, yeah. I say it all with the smile on my face, but deep down, I'm like,

Er. Yeah, it's eating you alive, isn't it? Neur. That's not cool. It's not cool. Thank you, Lunchbox. I mean, who are they? Exactly.

Exactly. Let's be real. Exactly. Are they in any type of Hall of Fame? Maybe we don't know. Hey, are they a program director because they couldn't hack it on the air? Oh, that's, no, no, I'm not, excuse me, program directors. Is that what is?

Lunchbox does not represent the thoughts of the show. It does not. Oh, my goodness. That's so funny. I'm just asking. I'm just sitting here listening right now. I'm just asking if that's what it is. Okay.

Listen, I. I don't totally disagree with lunchbox Yeah, but he said it. What? No, I'm talking about people coaches, teachers. Not all, but some of them get into it because they can't actually do what they want to do

at a level, but they can teach it. Oh, yeah, I mean, that's a known fact. Then there you go, lunchbox. No, no, I'm not. You've converted in another one. No, I'm not converted. What do you want to be converted to? No, man, I'm good.

We'll get off. No, fine. Why'd I speak? The Babo show. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So some crazy fashion company has teamed up with crocs and they're making luxury crocs. I didn't know if lunchbox might be into this, but they're inserting socks into the crocs. So that way you just slide it all on like it's got the sock included. Then the crocs lips over your foot.

Doesn't sound clean. It does not. Yeah. How much they cost though? $140.40. Seems kind of like not like the crock brand. Not the crock we know. Not the crocs, we know, luxury crocs.

So I saw this study that found that women start to feel invisible once they reach the age of 45. And by invisible, they mean that's the age when they feel like they stop turning heads when they walk into a room and they don't get as much unsolicited attention for men. Well, first of all, let's stop asking for unsolicited attention. Yeah, because I don't particularly like it when someone's like, shh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-ha. Yeah, but can I call it's different than someone just acknowledging it. What's the deal? When do men feel, 80? No, actually.

I thought this would be older because men started to feel it at 47. I kind of feel like men, y'all are lucky, or you get to feel until like 60. Or never? I feel like I'm already there. Well, no, I never felt it. I've never walked into a room and had attention because of how I look. I'm solicited attention? Never.

Amy, ever. I'm sure. Never. Amy girls don't look at guys. Eddie, when did you lose it? Like 10 years ago? I don't know. Okay. So this made me think of lunchboxes datchelor part.

that he wants to have because I saw that Bachelor parties are coming to an end because the thing about Bachelor parties is they used to like be able to get away. Everything was kept under wraps. It was like what stays in Vegas happens in Vegas or whatever. And now with social media, guys are freaking out because videos and pictures of them doing, well, I don't know, whatever could end up online. So Bachelor parties, more and more guys are declining. Like, I don't want to be a part of that. Interesting. That's terrible.

I know. Isn't it? I'm like, what happened to the good old day? where you just golf and play around to poker. No, those aren't the good old day. That's what my husband did. If you had real boys, they wouldn't take pictures. That's true.

So, is Eddie nervous about going to the datchelor party? I don't think that's happening. I've heard nothing, so you're probably right. That it? Okay, I mean, yeah, that's my file. Retro Pimp and Joy shirts are now for sale. As of right now, my mouth is open. Yeah.

And so our goal is to buy service dogs for vets. Now, I'm not even going to lie to you. these service dogs are expensive. They cost $20,000. They have to be trained. Everything has to be right. We want them to be able to help our military once they come home with lots of things,

including PTSD. So, with that being said, at bobby bones.com, you can get you a Pimp and Joy shirt or tank top or baseball tea. Listen, I have mine on. So there are even other dudes ones too. Yes.

So, yes. I have one. Depending on how dutely you think I am. No, these are totally dude women or kids. Baby onesies. What? So cute. So, Bobbyvones.com.

How much do they cost? Do you know? They're like $20? Like $20? Let me see. Well, you know what? Because I've never personally bought one myself. Good point.

Because Pim and Joy is our brand. We don't keep any of the money, by the way. Yeah. Go ahead. They are $28. 26, 26. And they're the most comfortable T-shirts ever, and I can stand by that because we only go high quality. There you go. You should have went with $40, but today only. We're marking me down.
