Folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby Bones. Let's go. We're transmitting across America. This is the Bobby Bones show. That's right. Now, here are you. Turn it up.

Come, buddy. Welcome to Friday show. Morning, studio. Morning. I get so many things. I shall start with this woman. I read this in the news and was like, oh my goodness. Because this woman goes the hospital.

He's like, um, I think it's time. And the hospital's like, you don't think so. Come back when your contractions get a little more intense. She's like, mm, it feels like it's coming. They're like, no, you'll be all right. Come on back. So she goes home.

Has the baby in her bathtub. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, they drove the 25 minutes home. But she was like, we can't get back to the hospital. So they got home and they got in the bathtub and there you go. The firefighters and they all got. The baby's healthy. But she was like, I feel like,

no, you go back home. We'll see you tomorrow. And they had the baby in the bathtub. Wow. She said, if I could do it again, I would just sat in the waiting room and not left. We would have pitched a tent. We would have started a fire.

We would have just straight up camped instead of going home. Saw that this morning. Luckily, they got home and luckily the baby was healthy. And it sounds like it came pretty quick, too, which is great. Hard to have a nine-hour birth, I bet, if you're just at home in the bathtub. And do you turn any water on?

or you just have it in there? And is that uncomfortable getting in the bat? I get it because there's a lot of water coming out. But the bathtub's tough. I don't know. Some people have babies in tubs. But with water though, right? Yeah.

If it's planned. Right. I don't know if she was wanting to do that with water or just looking for a place that was easy to clean. I bet that. Yeah. I bet that. Smart, actually. Isolated it all right there.

She's like, go ahead. We're glad everybody's here. We got, hopefully, Ryan Hurd comes up in a little bit. He has a song to a T that's real good. Thomas Rett or T. as his friends call him. He should be on later this morning too. I got to tell you, I wake up in the morning,

and I've been doing this keto for six days now, keto-ish. I did slip once. And not on purpose. Mike D has apples every day that he eats. And just, I was like, hey, I just ate an apple. And I was like, no.

I'm not keto. Definitely not keto. But, and Ramundo, our audio guys on keto, dude, you just feel so much like your belly just goes. Yeah, it's that. And they say you can all. also think better. Your thoughts are going to be really, they come to you very, very quickly. You have more clarity.

Mm-hmm. No cloud. I don't know that that's happening to me yet, but I can feel it in my belly, just not feeling like, I would love to have carbs and sugar. And I don't think I'm doing it exactly right, but I'm really following the basic rails of keto. And it's not a thing that I'm going to do forever. I don't even know that it's healthy. I'm not recommending it, but I'm telling you, like, my belly, it's starting to feel pretty good. And that's what you wanted. Yeah, it's the whole point of it. Just want to feel slimmer. We start American Idol next week. Got to get in those clothes.

I'm glad you feel happy. I'm happier. Thank you. I'm worried about you wanting to do keto because you don't need to lose weight. I do a little bit. Here's the Bobby Bones Show podcast. Highlight segment of the day. So whenever I negotiated my last contract here at work, I asked for a parking spot because there's just no parking in the building. And sometimes I'd be up here at all hours of the day. And when I got to park three blocks over, I said, well, if I get to

ask for things. I'm going to ask for a parking spot. And I have one. I have the best spot. And I have a sign that I think lunchbox got me the sign. Yep. For my birthday a couple years ago. And it sits up there and it says, like parking for Bobby Bones. We drilled it into the wall. And you always said lunchbox said if someone parks in that spot, I'm going to boot them and then it's going to charge them $50 to get it off. By the way, he has his own boot and he charges them himself. That's always been the theory. Yes. And so yesterday you came up. I came up and there was someone backed into your and I looked at the car and I was like, man, I don't remember Bobby driving this white car? Huh?

This is definitely not Bobby. So I made a video. I wrote a note and said, you are not Bobby Bones. You made a video? Oh, yeah. Because I need to have proof that there was someone parking. I have to make video proof. I can't just be booting people.

Yeah. I have to show that it's there. But I don't think you can just boot people anyway. When you are parked illegally, you can be booted. But do I legally have rights to that spot? Absolutely. Okay. Contractually you do.

Okay. So I wrote them a note, letting them know that they are not Bobby Bones and they should not be parked there and then they have to remove the vehicle. I am going to get to boot. Would you have really booted them? Yes. So I left the note on the windshield. I went inside and we have a spare room.

And here's a video. Yep, here's the audio. This is not Bobby Bones car and I am parking enforcement and I take it very serious. Sorry, Bobby. So look, you're not Bobby Bones. So you shouldn't park here. I am going to boot your. car, respect the sign. Thanks. Parking enforcement. Enforcement. And that is me. So I'm going to put this

here and then I'm going to go find the boot. If they're not gone by that time, they're getting the boot. This is unacceptable. People, respect the sign. Then what happened? Then I went, came in here, got the boot, got out there. They were driving out of the spot. I don't know if someone saw me put the note there or if they just happened to run in for something real quick, but they were in the spot, but they escaped the boot by the skin, what is it called? The hair on their chin. The skin of their teeth. Skin of their teeth. That's what I was going to say. Skin of their chin. Would you ever really put it on the car? Oh, I was ready. I was ready to go. I was ready to boot. And then I was going to put my phone number say, call me when you're ready

to get it off. Do you think you would have done it? No. What do you mean? I'm parking enforcement. Try me. What does that mean parking enforcement? Isn't that what they're called? The parking people? Like, if you ever watch parking wars, I think they're called... I've never watched parking wars. Oh my gosh, you've never... Parking wars is so funny. It's like the meter maids, they go around and they write tickets and people yell at them.

It is hilarious. They do it on the streets of Philadelphia, and it is greatness. So this is like your fantasy. I mean, it's kind of cool to have that power to give, you know, if someone breaks the law, you get to bust them. Did you, were they a man or a woman? I was a man. Do you look familiar?

No, didn't know them. I don't know. Oh, man. Poor guy was probably just trying to park. No, no, no, poor man can't read a sign. Oh, I mean, he can read, and it's obviously not right. So that was not his spot. He can see the sign.

It's clear as day. No one else parks there. Everybody knows, so don't give me that. I mean, they even reversed in. So they pulled in, saw the spot, went br-br-bur. Amy parks there sometimes. No, but you gave permission. Yeah.

I have the notes of who's allowed to and who's not to. Parking enforcement keeps a list. And this person was not on that list because that was a stranger. Well, I appreciate the effort. Next time. Don't get yourself beat up. I'm going to get some money. That's what I'm going to get.

Are you going to split it with me? You told me you would pay me. $50 a person. You did? I did. I don't know. I said you did. Question mark.

Now that we don't remember. Yeah, now you don't remember. I think it was a thousand. I think it would be hilarious if you booed with somebody on the parking lot. Just see what happens. We're going to get there. All right. The Bobby Bone Show is proud to be

It's time for Food World. Num, Num, Num, Num, with Morgan number two. A company did a study, and they put out a list of things that you should never order from delivery, and that was based on health and restaurant employee confessions. I'm so into this segment already. Because I have so much food delivered to me. Maybe I don't want to know.

Oh, that's a thing too. Let me get a drum roll. How many are there? I got about eight of them. Okay. At number eight on things not to have delivered to you. Nachos or crunchy tacos. Oh, I have nachos delivered to me from the wild cow.

They're vegan. They're so good. I don't know that I would think against nachos. Yeah, why? Because they get soggy? They get soggy, and then the meat starts to get bad because it's soggy. There's more like water and stuff on them. Wild cow, vegetarian restaurant.

Okay. Right. Number seven. Steak. Oh, I'll get beef sometimes sent to me. Why? Why do they say? Because if it sits out long enough, it can make you really sick. That's one of the meat is one of the quick things for food poisoning. Oh.

Wow. Number six. Anything with avocados. What? As Amy would say. Yeah. That's on the nachos. What?

Okay. And that's obviously because avocados, they turn brown really quickly. You can see them. So those go bad fast, too. French fries. What? They get cold. Soggy?

Don't eat cold french fries. If I'm ordering them, I understand. Number four? Smoothies. Oh, that's what I get sent to me all the time. They melt? Are they still good? Yes.

Huh. And if they're not, I'll put them in the freezer for just a little bit. Why? What's up with smooth? Yeah, it's because they melt. They're not at their prime when they're delivered. Okay. Number two?

Number two is meatball subs. I'm okay with that one. What else is seafood's got to be at there, right? Yeah, the number one is sushi. Okay. You know, they won't let you order oysters most places. You can't even order them for takeout. Raw oysters? Yeah. You can't take the oysters. You have to eat them there. Sometimes we'll even like, you know, do a show. And they have a runner from the venue going. I'll be like, I'll take the oysters and the shrimp and they won't let oysters even come back like for takeout because of that. Oh, my friend got so sick off of dollar oysters. But at a really nice restaurant in Austin. Like a really nice one. And it was some happy hour special they were having. And so her and her. husband were like, dollar oysters, heck yeah, let's do this. Y'all, it, Bobby, you know her.

Jill, yeah, this was such a moment. She, oh, man, she couldn't, let's just say she could not. She was driving one day, pharmaceutical sales. She was a bathroom on herself? She, well, she had her kids lunchbox in the car. I mean, it just was bad. The whole story. My mind is gone in a weird direction. She doesn't care if y'all know this. I'm just saying it's a bathroom in the lunchbox? Yes. And then she took the sample to the doctor because she's a farm, she doesn't, she doesn't, that works in sales, send it to the doctor to see if she was sick and it was oyster poisoning, so stay away from dollar oysters. The whole story, this whole segment went to a place I don't like.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Say home, it's something good. Amy Scott was on vacation in Las Vegas, having a good old time. And the day before she's supposed to leave, she leaves her wallet in the back of the cab, but they had paid cash, so she had no idea how to track down the cab driver.

So she goes, that flies home. I lost my wallet. A week later, in the mail, her wallet shows up. And there's a note from some girl named Jen McAnally that was there for a bachelor's party, got in the cab back to her, found it on the foreboard, and mailed it back to her.

That's legit. What up? I'm assuming she used her IDs address. Yeah, the lady, Jen McInelly from Peoria, Arizona, found the ID in the wallet, mailed it back to her and said, here you go, here's your wallet, found out on the foreboard of the cab. She probably never thought she would see that again. Woo-hoo. That's right.

That's a good one. All right, there you go. So it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Bobby Bones Show. Bonehead. Norrie up the day. This story comes to us from Nebraska.

A 19-year-old girl was cleaning out her closet and she saw all the letters from her ex-boyfriend. She's like, man, I got to get rid of these. So she put them in a box, took them out to the living room, and lit them on fire. Thinking, oh, no big deal. Only problem is, then the carpet catches on fire. Then the apartment catches on fire. Can you imagine that one brief moment. where she realizes that it's gone too far,

where she's going from cleansing herself to going, oh, no, now I can't control this fire. That's probably a pretty helpless feeling. They were her on friends when Monica and Rachel and Phoebe burn their letters and pictures of their exes and the fire department had to come. But then the fire guys ended up being real high. I know, and they're like, yay.

I bet you she didn't date a firefighter after this. She was charged with negligent burning. All right. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. On the Bobby Bones show now. Ryan heard. Let me hear a little bit of To a T. This is Ryan's song here.

And there he is on the phone, too. Ryan, what up, bud? Hey, man. Look at this guy. Got a new EP out today called Platonic. I'm playing Two A T right now underneath us. Man, you got a Lady Anabellum song at like number 13 on the chart that he wrote. Life seems to be going pretty good.

It's been a cool year, man. I really love making music in Nashville, Tennessee. and I've gotten to put out music under my name and had some people record songs that I wrote. So, man, that's what I've been working for and everybody who writes music's been, you know, that's the dream. So it's been a really, really fun year. We're going to get, by the way, Ryan has a record today

out called Plotonic. I can talk about that in a second. But I have such a crush on Ryan, right? So I put him on, and he's built like a caveman that also does an extra ab workout even after he's done caving. You know what I mean? Yeah. He goes out and he, like, kills animals and lifts trees and it.

But then he decides to get in a little set of abs afterward. Yeah. That's what Ryan Hurd looks like. And so, Ryan, I've been doing a little bit of this keto diet a little bit. Do you do that? How does it make you feel? It makes me, listen, I haven't lost any weight, but it makes me feel trim and great. Have you done it at all?

I can't do the no-carb thing, man. I get angry. So I've had buddies who do it, and I think it's a cool, you know, whatever works for you. But if I do, like, a workout or something and I don't have, like, a piece of toast before or some carbs like right after, then I'm like an angry dude for the rest of the day. So that's the, I can't do the keto thing. I've tried to, I've tried it. But, uh, but yeah, I've got like guys in my band who do it and they love it. I feel pretty good. Like I was talking about earlier, like my, my stomach. Like I have the hardest time of losing weight

in my stomach. I think for guys, it's like, blah, right there in those love handle spots. Do you, where does your weight go? Like to your toe, your big toe, we don't see it? Oh, my butt. Dang, I wish I could see that. Okay, listen. My pants size grew. That's what happened this year. I was like, what my pants don't fit anymore?

What happened here? What size of waist are you, Ryan? I'm a 34 now for the first time in my entire life. I used to be a 32, 34 length. Now I'm like a straight up 33, 34. So who knows? So is it muscle? I don't know, man.

It is. Don't let them be humble. It might be. It might have been I had a couple too many coronas last weekend. Who knows? humble, he's being humble. Ryan Hurd is on. Platonic is out now.

Hey, so what did you name a Platonic for? I know there's a song called that. Why would you settle on that as a title of the record? It's a really cool word. When you write songs in Nashville, like you write all these titles in your phone and like everybody shows up, like what ideas do you have?

And I had that one kicking around my head and didn't really know how to write it, but I was on my bus. We wrote that one on my bus. And there's just very chance. Like that song itself is like, there's not a whole lot to it. It feels amazing.

I love the idea of telling somebody, like, I can't just be friends with you, and that's what the song is about. Platonic is like a friendly relationship, right? And because I'm just into you. So it just reminded me of, like, when I started, you know, Mary and I started dating and we started out all of a sudden, I was like, you know what, this isn't going to work. So the E.I.

I'm proud of that song. It's been really fun to put out new music while we're still working to a T. So, yeah, I appreciate you giving it a listen and telling some people about it. That's awesome of you. I'm going to play a little bit of Platonic while you're on. And I'd like to, before I play a clip of this, dedicate it to Ryan Hurd from me. This is Platonic.

Let me hear a little bit of this. Here you go. There it is. Well, man, I'm really happy you got new music out. Like, all seriousness. You know, I'm a big fan of your music and your writing and even you as a person, man. So I'm super pumped for you,

and I encourage all of our listeners today if you're out streaming music. Check out Platonic from Ryan Hurd. Good to talk to you, man. Thank you very much, man. Thanks for supporting my music and being a good friend. It's awesome to get to be on the show today.

Thank you. Here's Amy's pile of stories. Fun fact Friday. All right, let's go. Okay, so, did you know the first passengers in a hot air balloon? Do you know who they were? I mean... Should I figure this out?

Because if it's fun fact, it's got to be somebody famous. Babe Ruth. Or just something... Babe Ruth. Yeah. No. Who was it? Okay, so the first flight was in France in 1783,

and they were kind of scared at what would happen to people. people with the altitude, so they sent up a sheep, a duck, and a rooster. Oh, they sent up animals. Wow. That makes sense. You send canaries into mines. Really? Yeah, that's true. Oh, look at that. So there you go. I don't like hot air balloons. I've done that. It's the dumbest thing.

Oh, you've done a hot air balloon? Yeah. For like what? It's just fun? Work made me do it once in my early days. I can see that. When they're like, we're going to do this crazy promotion. Bobby's going to drop money from the sky. You get in a hot air balloon with some listeners and travel and see if you die. I was like, this is a terrible idea. It was not fun.

I mean, you're literally in a basket in the air. There's nothing to hold you up there. Depending on a balloon to save your life. So stupid. And then you just land wherever they find a spot. I don't like any of that. All right, what else am I? Okay.

How do you talk to your dog? Same voice or like... Mostly same voice. Okay. I'd be like, yo, Bulldog, come on. And his name's Stanley, but I call him Bulldog a lot of times. And then sometimes, like, early in the morning, I'm like, come on, man, get in the bed.

I talk to him like a sleepy person. Oh, you don't do the thing that most of us do? Every once in a while I'd be like, but not most of the time. Because research shows that dogs actually like the silly high-pitched voice that owners use. Well, I like the silly high. I would people do that on me. To talk to them. And it is.

Why do we do that to our dogs? We do it to babies. Babies and dogs. We do that. But hey, they like it. So keep doing it. Don't be ashamed. Do you know how much John Hedder got paid to play Napoleon Dynamite originally?

I'm going to assume very little because it was so independent of a movie. Yeah. I was shocked when I saw this. Go ahead. $1,000. For the whole movie? Yes, he was only paid $1,000 to play Napoleon Dynamite. However, after it became a worldwide success, he renegotiated his contract, got a bigger paycheck.

But in the beginning, $1,000. Yeah, well, you take what you take when you can take it. He's not getting paid much to do anything. So I understand him taking that little money to do it, especially if you want to be an actor. Yeah. I mean, that's about what I made in my first few years in radio combined. $1,000. All right, what else?

Here's the fact that's a good tip. And I've heard this from lots of people. Drinking a cold glass of water in the morning will wake you up faster than a cup of coffee. Like wake up, get cold water, chug it. Also, an apple will do more than coffee too. Unless you're on keto. Oh yeah, and you can't have an apple. And you can't have an apple.

But you can have water. That's true. They're only water if it's... What? You can have all water. Ray says that there's a... He orders some special keto drink from Starbucks. Keto water?

No. It's like a coffee. Yeah, it's just the... It's a keto. version of the keto. Moka. Moka.

Don't make fun of people who pronounce things wrong. I'm not. Because that means they read it. I know. And I say things wrong all the time. You all laugh.

But everyone knows mocha. Maybe he just read it. That's why you don't make fun of people who pronounce things wrong. But I'm also picturing him going to Starbucks and be like, I'll take that keto mocha. That's a kind of coffee. Guys, let's not be mean to Ray.

Okay, we're not. Right, but people want to know because I feel like a lot of people are keto, and I think it's cool that you know that Starbucks, it's like a special drink. Yeah, you just say low-carb to anything and then they'll drop out and it'll be keto. Oh, they take the... All the sugar out of it out of the cup. All right, what else, Amy? Okay, so moving on.

Fun facts are done. Do you care if you go gray? Like, are you worried about your hair going gray? Do you think when it goes gray, are you going to dye it? If I'm with a girl and it's like my wife, I don't care anymore, I'm still trying to peacock a little bit. I won't dye it now. I get a little bit of my sideburns. I don't die them.

I do cut it off, though, a little bit. But I get a little of my sideburners. I get a little bit of my chin. And I don't love it. But I'm not right now trying, unless Amy makes fun of me like she did my forehead, I'm okay and not trying to fix it. Okay. Well, I just thought most of us, according to a survey, don't really care. Like more than half of people, don't mind.

Just going gray. Not going to care. And then in other age-related news, things that we're looking forward to when it comes to getting older are retiring, having more of a choice how to spend our time, being able to travel, spending more time with family, and not caring what other people think. Well, that's the big one. You should be able to do that way earlier, but we don't. I know, we don't.

That's why that was the main thing that stood out to me is like, I wish we learned that. It's like we only get it when it's time to die. Yeah. When it's not even not much use for it. Okay, I don't care what any of it. Dead. All right, what else amy? Okay, so according to a survey, I have the top things that parents worry that their kids aren't

going to be able to deal with and do in life. And I say, oh my gosh, I think about this stuff all the time. I don't know if Eddie and lunchbox have this, but like how to pay bills, how to drive a car, how to deal with stress, how to budget, how to deal with a broken heart, how to change a tire. So normal adult things. Yeah, but I mean, I worry that they're never going to, like I can't, I picture them 18 and I think they're never going to make it. They're going to live with us until they're 30. Like, this is just going to be bad. Like, how are they going to, they don't even understand money.

How are they going to save money? how they're going to pay bills? I don't know. How to be independent, all the things. The one thing on the list that doesn't really bother me is how to change a tire. Because these days there's an app for that. They'll be an app for all that by the time. They're adults.

But they also are at a bit of a disadvantage because they just moved to America and they have to learn a new culture at the same time. I know. There's a lot happening there. I think so with mine. That's why I'm a little bit worried. But the number one thing is, yeah, it's stress, which also makes me think you would just want to

you want to raise healthy children that know how to process things and that you're responsible for some of their actions later in life. Like I don't want them to go do something later in life because of something I did. Like they end up in jail or therapy and like, well, my mom used to do this. And I'm like, great. Like what? I don't know. But it is a fear. Y'all don't ever fear that your kids might make a bad decision.

Not jail time. It can't do anything. In Amy's mind, they're already serving 10 to 20. Doing life without parole. I just don't want to mess up and do anything that causes them to be in juvie or jail. All right, I'm Amy. That's my pile.

So this girl Abby thought she was sending a text to a church friend about bringing dinner to their family because their son Noah is in the hospital, only four years old.

Well, she didn't text her friend from the church. She accidentally sent the text message to some guy named Bill. Well, then she was like, oh, wait, you're not the right person, sorry, blah, blah, blah. So the bill's like, well, whoa, whoa, whoa, tell me more about this family and this little boy fighting for his life. Like, I want to know what I can do. So then this guy, Bill, who doesn't know them at all, totally got involved, started raising money on Facebook, asking for cards, blood donations, and money to help the family with medical expenses. And totally crazy. And the main thing he wanted people to do was send the boy cards that when he woke up, he would see himself surrounded in love from their community.

Wow. Didn't even know him. Didn't even know him. But Bill said he's trying to teach his son about helping others. And this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do that. So turn to random text message into something cool. I get random text up here all the time to our station line. We have a text line.

Here's one that just came in. Hey, I'm open for lunch or dinner. If dinner, I know a place on Atlantic and Pompano, everybody loves it. I don't even know this street. I get random ones all the time up here. Weird. There's a great American restaurant in Coral Springs, large menu immaculate clean and the food's outstanding. Your call.

Wow, they use big words. Your call. My call, I'll reply back. Okay, meet you too. Bobby loves clean. They never show up. All right, Amy, that's a great story. That is a great story.

That's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Folks, it's your buddy and mine. Mr. Bobby Bones. Let's go. The Bobby Bones. We should have talked to Thomas Rett in just a few minutes. Let's go over to Amy with her morning corny first.

The morning. Corny. Why was the mermaid wearing sea shells? Why was the mermaid wearing sea shells? Because she grew out of her B shells. Pretty funny. How do you get it? Like size C brawl? Oh, God. B, A, B, C. Got it got. Do you think it's funny now? Do you think it's funny now? I do now. All right. There we go. We got it. Everybody clapping. That was the morning corny. A little risque, but. I don't think brawes are risque, you know? I'm just saying my normal content doesn't really. go there.

Shit. Bobby Boon, Chew. My dog is chewing again, just to give people an update. I know. I thought he went to school for that. He did, and he came back.

Great. He's not staying with them. Just chewing. And so, I have been like, no. And I have that, this thing that you, like a sprayer to get him to stop. And at first it bothers them. And it's like, spray me. I don't care.

And now I've done the coins in the water bottle where you shake a Yeah, yeah. Doesn't care. At first, he all cares about all this stuff. Then he's just immune to it. And it was like, give me more. And then I would, like, thump his nose. And at first he's like, that's bothersome.

And now he likes it. I don't know what to do anymore. And I don't want to just, like, hit him. What is he chewing on mostly? Human flesh. Do you have me to give you some of that nail polish? I put on the shirt on my body? I don't know.

I can paint myself from head to toe in it. It's worked for her. But I don't know where he's going to eat me. Yeah. Like any of my feet. I don't know what to do. These bulldogs are really stubborn. And so I'm working.

We're working. He just loves to chew on humans. And shoes a little bit. His whole thing is, too, like you'll see a shoe. And he won't chew it up. He'll just take it run and hide it. So he'll see it, grab it. And if you don't see where he goes, you never see the shoe again.

Man, that's a little dramatic. You see, you find it eventually. But for a while, it's gone. It disappears. He can go in any, he can walk in any room. room and take it. He's like, where's the shoe? And he won't last to yet. He won't take me to Timmy. Is he in the well? You can't like take me to my Jordan. I got a Jordan one. Where is it? Nothing. My dog's been hiding stuff in the couch cushions. And I thought at first...

Sure, it's not your husband. No, I swear. I don't know how it's a skill. She's like, she's mastered it. And I finally figured out it was her. But at first I thought my son had put, I found a muffin, like in the bottom of a cushion in the backside. And I thought, It was my son that left it there. And I was like, you know, you're not supposed to eat in the living room. And I basically got mad at him. But then I started finding his dog bones and then a tennis ball there. And it's where he's going to hide stuff.

And it's him hiding the food there. If he gets a hold of food, he goes and hides it. I guess I'll be like digging a hole and putting it in there, huh? Yeah, he knows that it's like a sweet spot for him. And now I have to go check it for things sometimes. So, I mean, I'm just saying if I finally found the spot, so maybe you can find the spot where he put your shoe. Well, no, they're all over. Oh, okay.

He just runs. So I'm just trying to stop the chewing. and the biting, because all he has to do is to one person the wrong way that comes in the house, and they call, and they put the dog down. Yeah. So I'm just trying to, I thought, so nobody comes to my house anymore. I just shut it down. Oh, cute dog, don't touch. Nobody enters the door.

Yeah. Thomas Rett's coming up next. You want to talk to him or now? Yeah. All right, we'll talk to Thomas Rett. By the way, if you want to go to Facebook and let me know what's up, and you can give me some advice on this dog, feel free. I've read every blog, but I still take listener tips. I just go over to the Bobby Bone Show

Facebook page. Friday morning conversation with Thomas Wrett. He's on right now. Here he is. I wanted to further ignore. Oh, I think he's on, he's in drive-thru. Thomas Rett on drive-thru. Hey, what's up, dude?

Hey, what did you order? Well, I know he's super busy too, and I wanted to have TR on because for me to see this guy get recognized as one of CMT's artists of the year, which is that upper upper echelon. Like, we just wanted to put you on the air and clap for you in person here. Yeah. Thanks, dude. Come on. I appreciate that. Yeah, that's such a huge honor, man.

Thank you very much. What's, what's, where are you right now? Man, I just got into a car in New York. What do you, what do you do in New York in a morning? Like, what did you do today? This morning, my daughter was up at 5 o'clock. And trying to get her to go back to sleep until at least 7. And then, uh, drink some coffee, got into a car and pretty, pretty typical dad morning, I guess.

Oh, I thought that said bad morning. No, dad. No, dad morning. Dad morning. Hey, you know, we had your dad on pretty recently. and... Yeah, he's with me in the car right now. Oh, well, he came in.

Let me voice some of his complaints for him. Is that okay? Can I do that? Yeah. He said he only gets 15 minutes to perform and then he only gets one merch item to sell at the show. Dad, you only... No, you get 17 minutes to perform, don't you?

He goes on at 6.58, and he does get one merch item, but he's crushing it out there. Even though he's your dad, he only gets to sell one T-shirt? Hey, these aren't my decisions to make. But the fact that he's blood, he doesn't get like a, it can't sound like a necklace or, you know, something. Yeah, we'll give him a necklace and an extra cozy to sell. Okay. Well, I didn't know if he had voiced that with you, and I wanted to share, you know, because I really liked your dad.

I thought it was, you know, we had a good time up here. How's Lauren doing? She's good, man. Lauren's up here running around doing some stuff. And both of our kids are up here. Our entire families are up here. I'm playing headlining Madison Square Garden for the first time. I got everybody up here for that.

That's a big deal, huh? Yeah. Huge deal. So pumped. That's one where you have people come and take pictures, like all during, right? So you can have later? Right. Yeah, exactly.

Madison Square Garden today. Albany on the 21st. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's pretty cool. Well, dude, I know that you're in New York. We really just wanted to have you on and acknowledge the fact that I was super pumped for you

when the CMT artists of the year announced there. You know, the art, like the big award for C&S. that you were one of them. I really appreciate that, man. Thank you for, thanks for the call. And it really means a lot that y'all even said anything about it, so I appreciate it. And everything's good. Do you need anything for me?

Do you need anything for me? No, that's not the question. Do you need, you know, do you mean to go by and water the plants while you're gone? Anything like that? I would love a Pelican, Bobby. Oh. If you could set that up. He does gift those away.

Yes. You have to do it now. He didn't ask for, like, a pair of shoes. Wow. He has for a bike. Do you want the bike or the treadmill? The bike would be good. You know, you're investing in my health.

Okay, yeah. That's true, because if he stays healthy and he continues to make great music, and then I play it and he comes up and ratings continue to go up, then we both win. Exactly. Yeah.

And then you got some new competition. Y'all can now ride against each other because Bobby loves. Yeah, then we can ride against each other. Yeah. That was my goal. All right. Let me see what I can do.

All right, there he is. Hey, one of the CMT artists of your clap your hands for our buddy. There he is Thomas Reddy. He's in New York, Plan Madison Square Garden tonight. And all right, we'll let you get back to the drive and the ride and tell everybody we said hello. We'll talk to you soon, bud. We'll do, man.

Thank you all very much. Have a good day. There he is. Thomas Wretch.

With Bobby. Tell me something good. Sergeant Jeff Turney of the Glendale, Arizona Police Department, recently responded to a call. The call was from Howard Benson. He's 94 years old. He was moving to an assisted living facility in Fort Myers, Florida, and thought he could drive his vehicle

and a full trailer of stuff across the country on his own. Again, he's 94. Wow. Trying to drive all the stuff across the country. His kids who all live out of town called police hoping they could talk him out of it. They're like, please talk our 94-year-old dad are trying to do this. So he gets there, the Sergeant Jeff does, and realize there was no stopping this guy from going. 94 at his mind-made up, he was going to go.

He said, hey, what if I just go with you? And so this police officer drove with them most of the way 2,000 miles and drove him there. Did, yeah. It's like, I would have a hard time riding passenger, but. He drove him. Okay, good. Almost all of it. Yeah.

He used vacation time to make the long trip during the four-day journey. Oh, wow. I thought work maybe was like, okay, this is part of your duty as a, wow, use vacation time. He learned all about the 94-year-old guy's life, his service in the Navy during World War II and his anxiety about moving into assisted living. Mm-hmm. They made it. They became friends, and the older gentleman says, they can't think that guy enough. That's cool.

That's pretty great, huh? Mm-hmm. That's what it's all about. was tell me something good. Okay. Over to Logan in Nashville. Logan, what's up, bud? Morning, Bobby. Morning studio.

Oh, morning. I thought you were a dude. No, I'm a girl. That happens a lot. Apologies. All right, what's going on? No problem. I just need you to be the morality judge for a second.

So I have a coworker who has been burning this candle at work. When she first got it, I realized it really gave me a headache when it was burning. And so I asked her, I was like, hey, can we get a different candle? Because this just really gives me a headache. And she said, no, everyone else likes it. So I've sucked it up for about the last three months. And finally yesterday, when the candle wasn't burning and it was getting low, I noticed it sitting really close at the edge of her desk.

And so I just kind of accidentally, in quotes, bumped into her desk, and the candle fell and is now broken and can no longer be burned. And I was just wondering if you think that I should replace the candle or if I've suffered long enough and the candle should just go into the trash. Well, I would like to say, first of all, that two wrongs never make a right. You know, and if your head is hurting

and she doesn't pull that candle, that's not the kindest move by her. I think if someone came to me, maybe if you came to me and said, hey, you're deodorant. It's really like making my allergies, working a way that are... I would be like, okay, I will change for you

because we're in close proximity. But if I didn't, you couldn't do anything about it. Right. And so, Logan, that's a bit, I understand, but it's a bit childish to knock off a candle. It was almost gone. It maybe had one more day to burn. And even though you had a conversation with her, right? Three months ago.

Yeah, and she didn't pull it. I think that's just something that, if she's not breaking a rule, it's just something you have to deal with. What if she has a perfume on? that is making your eyes water or you don't like the smell of it. You can't go up and just start washing her or push her in a tub of water. That's fair.

And I think that, yeah, I don't like it. I like you. I think you're probably a nice person because it's weighing on you. You called Mr. Morality, me. Yeah. And she wanted to know. I'm not on your side.

I like you, Logan. I'm not on your side. It can't be here because I think you can't go breaking other people's stuff because vigilante justice is not real justice. And you just vigilanteed it for everyone. Well, everyone else liked it.

Probably not. Probably not. Right. This is what I would suggest, Logan. Okay. You, does she know it's you that pushed it off the table? No. Amy, what do you think?

She's got to go and replace the candle. Yeah, but she may not be able to find one. Right, replace it with a scent that doesn't give you a headache. This is what I would do if it were me in this situation. because I also mess up sometimes and go, I wish I wouldn't have done that. I sometimes in my life I'm trying to learn to respond, not react. Because reaction is immediate and sometimes your reaction isn't good.

You decide to do something and that's a reaction. A response is something. Sometimes you can gather, make responsible decisions. Sometimes when you react, it's not positive and you got to fix that. So my response would be to this is when she's not in the office, you go get like three really nice candles that don't mess with your nose or make you sick. and you don't have to say it's you and put them at her desk

and put a little note on it and say, hey, sorry, I knocked this off your desk from anonymous, but here's three awesome candles. I'm really sorry about that. And then you just live your life. If she gets another candle, you can't knock it off again,

but you have to overreplace the candles that you broke. How do you feel about that, Amy? That's solid. I think, and then she'll feel better about what she did because she knows that she should have done. It doesn't matter.

She didn't do anything wrong. I know, I know, but I feel like that will help her feel better. And I think, yeah, I like your advice about responding not reacting because man, I'm a reactor. We all are reactors. We are built to react.

It's when we learn to respond that we actually grow. And it's currency for us. Right. Once you gather your emotions, you are. Your money, man. It's awesome. Okay, that's what I say, Logan. Can you do that?

Buy three really nice candles leaving an honest note. I'm sorry that your candle was broken. I've replaced them three candles on me. Thank you. Can you do that? I can absolutely do that. Okay. Call us back and respond and let us know how it goes, okay?

We'll do. There she has Logan, everyone. All right, rock and roll.

over and talk to Valerie in Indiana. Hey Valerie. Yes, sir. Hi, guys. What's going on with you? Oh, you know, I just called in to kind of say hello to y'all and tell you how much I really enjoy the show. So I listen. I used to live in by Wichita, Kansas, and we could listen to you guys every morning. You were my morning show. Then we moved a couple years ago back to Indiana, and the only way I can listen to y'all is through I Heart Radio. So every day I have on my I heart radio in my headphones at work, and I listen to the replay until I listen to, I usually listen to it twice.

So I listen to like everything you guys is all, I know, because I like it so much. And my coworkers think I'm crazy because they can't hear the show, and I'm just sitting at my desk cracking up. Come on. Come on. We love that. Thank you. Can I make a suggestion?

Because I'm so grateful. I'm so appreciative that you listen on IHeart Radio, which, by the way, if you want to listen to the IHeart Country channel, like live, that's what you should listen to, IHeart Country. Or after the show, you can find the podcast on IHart Radio. But I guess if, instead of listening twice, because listen, I can only take so much of me, even then. Amy has a great podcast called Four Things with Amy Brown.

I have a podcast called The Bobbycast, where I talk about a lot of country artists, and we talk about music and entertainment. The guys have a podcast called The Soer Losers. So just something else to check out. You don't have to listen twice. You can listen to one of our side shows. How did that sound?

That sounds fantastic because by the afternoon, I have to find something else to listen to you. Yeah, there we go. There we go. Problems song. It's all there for you. Well, thank you very much for listening. I listen to it twice because if I miss anything, because people come and go in the office all day long, I'm like, oh, I got to make sure that I have the morning corny.

and I have to make sure that I have that tell me something good. When the song comes on for Tell Me Something the jingle, I'm singing it at my desk and everyone's like, oh my gosh, you're just good. But that's okay. I like it. Well, we appreciate that. Thank you so much. All right, have a great day.

For making my morning every day. And hope your weekend is great, and thank you so much. We shall go now. Thank you for being here. Thanks for being our friend. Thank you for life. Thanks for letting us pay our mortgage

by coming on and telling dopey stories about ourselves and pop culture and country music. Amy, what's going on with you this weekend? I am going to be hanging out with my dad. I won't be in Vegas with y'all, but hanging out with him, which is where I need to be. In Vegas, we are, says Yoda. Yes.
