Thanks to Hyundai.

That's crazy. 24 Hyundai Kona. We're going to give away to a listener. Wow, we also are going to go away money. It's just going to be awesome. But let's just move. Let's get the show going. Faster we can get there.

Faster somebody gets a car. Eddie is our video producer. He runs all the cameras here in the studio. Eddie, you're up first. Say something to us. All right, right. Guys, I've got to run this by you real quick. Did my son cheat?

That's the question. All right? So we take him to these lessons to coach Mike, right? He teaches like five kids at a time. In what sport? Basketball. And they do an hour lesson. And at the end of the lesson,

he gives every kid a chance to shoot a half-court shot for five bucks. It's kind of the to practice the buzzer-beater situation. So they go behind the half-court line, they shoot the ball, and if you make it, $5 in cash. Well, my son, he goes up there, first shot, boom, nothing but net, makes it. He gets $5 in cash. Wow. And then when we get home, his brother, his little brother, goes, yeah, I don't know if that one counted because he used a youth ball, a junior ball. And I said, is that true? Like, did you change balls? He's like, well, well, I just, I found. found a ball that was there having to be smaller and I shot it.

And I said, was that the ball you were using in practice the whole time? He's like, no, I use a regular size ball. So did he cheat by using a smaller ball than he normally uses to shoot the $5 shot? Did the coach watch him shoot the ball? Yeah. No, he didn't cheat. I don't think the coach realized that it was a smaller size ball. That's on the coach.

That's right. Did the coach specify what ball you have to use? No, he did not. Then there you go. Five bucks. He's good. Amy? I mean, I think that.

He knew. It's like, do you want to use this as a learning lesson for your kid? Or do you want to have five extra bucks? Or does he see, does he see how this works? He made a half cord. Okay, how big the ball is? It's a hard. Well, I mean, it's a little easier.

To him, made his confidence level go higher if he used a smaller ball. But then is this what he starts to just do? Hopefully. Make more shots. Okay. I say he didn't cheat. Wow, wow. Yeah.

Thank you, Eddie. Next up, I met him when he was a delivery driver, at Jason's Deli, and he was one year away from graduating college. And still today, he's about that. There he is. Lunchbox, everybody. Listen, I love presents born in anyone. I love this time of year. People send us gifts.

And, I mean, there was a record label that was nice enough to send us these nice, soft, hoodie sweatshirts. But here's the problem. What were they? I don't have one. Oh, you got one. Oh, it is? It's in there. It's in there.

What's to say on it? Whatever the record label was. Curb records. Curb records. Oh, that's cool. And it's a sweet sweatshirt. Here's the only problem. They didn't ask our size.

The thing's like a dress on me. So it's like you spend all this money to get me a nice sweatshirt. You send it out to people. You think you'd email and be like, hey, what size do you guys want? Because now you can't wear it. They probably like to your picture. No, it's like down to my knees. It's literally like.

Or they heard your voice. And I'm like, I don't understand. Did they send everybody an extra large? I think so. I got an extra large. Yeah. It's just universal. But that's what I'm saying.

You can still wear an extra large, right? No, no. It's down to my knees. Oversize is in. If you're going to send people gifts, like, why waste all that money if you're not even going to ask their size? Well, then I think you should write a letter your congressman. Yeah.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Like, they wasted money on these. But it's not your money. Who cares? Okay. So, well, I won't ever be able to wear it now. If you look at Bieber pictures, man, he wears his clothes really loose. Yeah.

You can do that. You're the closest thing to Bieber we have on this show. Definitely. Okay. I'm just saying, thanks for the gift. But next time I'm asking myself. All right, Amy, you're out. Go ahead.

Okay, so I am waiting to hear back from the rental car company. I don't know what's going to happen, but I rented a car and the seatbelt quit working the last like two hours of the drive. We stopped to get gas and then it wouldn't go back in. The clicker, like the part that like presses down wouldn't click back up. So it was just stuck down. And it's 10 o'clock at night. So what do we do? It's a rental.

Where do we go? Two hours from Nashville. Was the car recognizing that it was... Yeah, so it was going, ding. Oh, the whole time. Ding. Oh, boy. Ding.

I'd have driven that into a tree. Well. Well, I did, you said. No, but we just buckled up the seatbelt as if it was buckled in. But had to hold it in. So for two hours, we took turns holding it. Oh, it's terrible. That's terrible.

And that way it wouldn't sound, but then also was praying the whole time that we wouldn't get into an accident because if that's the case, that seatbelt didn't work. Yeah. But what were we going to do? Pull over and what? I don't even know. Nothing. You should get your money back then. Yeah, you should own that place.

If you were in lunchbox, you'd sue them and it'd be called lunchbox rental. Well, I have sent an email. Oh. I guess I assume I'd be getting my money back, right? I don't think it's money back. Oh, something. Something. I don't think it's money back worthy.

Money back. I think so, I risked my life for two hours. And Eddie, your son, you do. Okay. You didn't risk your life. I had no choice. You didn't risk. You didn't risk.

You didn't risk you did. It's risky, dude. Every time you drive without a seatbelt, you're risking your life. Hey, my arm's sore. Now that, now we're talking. All that. You get like a subway gift card because of tuna. That's about it.

All right. And now finally, Ray, do you have one for me? Yep. Go ahead. From Mount Pine, Arkansas. He's been rocking a black hat. It's the same color as his tat. Bobby Bones.

Okay. Okay. Thank you. So I was reading about this. Crossroads that CMT is doing. And they've had some really cool ones over the years. They've had Keith Urban and John Mayer. They've had this artist from Not Country,

this artist in Country. They do them constantly. And so there's one, and I wanted to just say this before I give him my idea. But it's Chris Jansen, who has Buy Me a Boat. He can buy me a boat. And Brett Michaels from Poison. And I think that's a pretty interesting one.

That's cool, right? What if The Raging Idiots in Adam Sandler? did one. Oh, that's fun. Oh, gosh, that'd be amazing. Yeah. What if that's the goal? What's the goal for next year? And so, like, you play some of the one artist songs and then the other artist plays their songs and then they do one collab or what? Yeah.

That'd be amazing. Black Crows and Darius Rucker, hosier and Marin Morris, for King and Country and Jimmy Allen. I'll bet they're regretting that one. Robert Plant and Allison Krauss. I'm just saying, the raging idiots and Adam Sandler. That'd be amazing. Hobby Lobby Bobby To launch ladyland

A sloppy dough Slap salmado Slavido That'd be good Let's pitch it There's no way They'd ever let us Probably not

That sounds cool Sean Mendez And Zach Brown band Megan Trainor and Brett Eldridge Oh wow And the raging idiots And Adam Sandler Come on

You know people Can you Hey like one of those emails Like Amy Send a letter out Send a letter I'd read You mean like I did

Is our rental car please? Yeah yeah yeah Can you write one of those for me Where you lie a little bit? I didn't lie. I did not lie. That's my putting that on my dream board. What are they called that?

A vision board. Vision board. For 2024. Yeah, vision board. Yeah. Thank you all. Let's get the show started. We're giving away a car later today.

Let's open up the mailbag. You send an email and we read it all the air. It's something we call Bobby's mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. My boyfriend and I've been together for three years and have lived together for almost a year. I love him very much. He's a hard worker, but he's not very serious about life and still has a bunch of childish habits. I'm moving forward to my career and I've had one job. Focus. He's had three different jobs since we moved in together.

I'm thinking about our future. He's spending his time playing video games. I feel like I only have a couple choices, except that this is the way he is or break up with him. Am I missing something? Sign dating a man child. You have nailed it. What, nailed what? Her two choices. Our two choices are this is him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This will always be him.

Or this is still him. You're just not going to be with him. I guess there is that middle he could change. You could just get pregnant. That solves a lot of problems. Does it? He's joking. So I've heard.

I don't know, bones. You're not going to change him. Right. You can't change him. You could create some slight alterations. Yeah. But ultimately. You could communicate that.

He's going to have to do it and that's going to take time. But it's like loaning somebody money. You can't have the expectation that he's going to change. But guys, is he sweet? Does he have a good heart? Right. There are different roles in marriages. She's the one that has the good jobs.

He's the one that probably is going to stay home. Plays the video games. That's a role in a marriage. Cheers her up. I mean, makes her laugh, makes her smile, makes life fun. But you also don't know that. But I'm saying like, just because he has. She's not attracted to that.

No, she didn't say that. If you're even considering that you might have to break up with him. The video games, yes. She doesn't like that he plays video games. It's a little lazy. But that's his personality. Morgan, what if this was a dude you were dating? That's all he did all day.

He had a job, but he kept changing jobs, but was big video gamer. Yeah, it'd be hard. I mean, it shows non-commitment is what it's showing me. Like, he can't commit to one thing, so why would he commit to me? Well, he's committed to video games. Yeah, but that's not like something you commit to as far as a career to build a life with somebody. Whatever he's doing now, he's going to do to you. If you're okay with that, then great.

It's a good way of putting it. But if you're a dude ain't got no job, that ain't a good sign. That's all I'm saying. especially if what he's doing is... Oh, man. What? I always so mean to these guys. I just don't know.

I don't know him. I'm not mean to him. She obviously loves him and is attracted to him or else they wouldn't have been together for so long. So this is how he was. But they've only lived together for a year. I think it's just now gotten to her. She's looking for an out.

She's scared. Okay. Then take it. Then get out. Run. Don't blame him. Blame yourself. Run from the hills.

Sometimes I wish the mailbag, but it'd be hard to make this happen. But we just had both sides, you know? Yeah, we don't. We don't. And that's Joevis, baby. All right, there you go. Break up with them.

There you go. Close it up. We got your email. Is it cool for someone to tell their spouse a secret that you told them and said, don't tell anybody? Because most people in a marriage tell their spouse everything. Correct. So the question is, are you the spouse that tells your person everything, even though it's a secret? Or do you also keep the secret from your spouse if it's not about them?

Yeah. It's pretty easy. It's really easy. When I was married, he didn't tell me things. And he was military. Yeah, that's government class. You'd have been on the air. I'd been like, Beijing, we're coming.

We'd been like, oh, call it off. No, not even work-wise. Like, it's his... An invasion. Yeah. It's his best friends. Like, he would be like, oh, well, he would just say, well, you know, that parts between me and Kevin or whatever he would say.

What a great cover. I would respect that. That's between me and Kevin? Get out of here. Because also... If he tells Kevin's secrets, he tells yours. Yeah. But we were all, like, and my sister's married to his best friend.

It's sort of like, you know, he tried to respect that because then we're all close and that would have been weird. Lunchbox? There ain't no chance. Someone comes to me and says, hey, keep this secret. I ain't tell my wife. Yeah, that's how Ben was. No chance. And she doesn't think that.

She would respect that. She'd be like, hey, you're loyal. Like, that's good. Someone can trust you. Yeah. If, let's take the spouse out of it, if you tell somebody a secret, they should never trust you because you just told somebody else a secret. Why should they tell you there? you're just going to tell theirs. That's right.

You're not understanding. I know, I hear it. It's not the spouse, but go ahead, Eddie. You're one. You and your spouse are one person. Like, whoever you tells you something should automatically think that you're going to tell your spouse. 100%. Oh, so that should be in, like, I'm going to tell you the secret. Yes. Tell anybody, parentheses, but your spouse. Exactly. Then you got to trust if the spouse has got to. No, so you can't. That's too many loose lips. But then you tell your spouse, hey, this is between us. Don't tell anyone. Yeah, right. But then you're, I mean, people talk, man. The less people that know, the less chance it gets out.

Loose lips, sink chips. Yeah. Has Caitlin told you what I told her? No, and I don't think it's, I think if I really were like, I really need to know something. I don't know what that means. That's very vague. Well, I just seen what your face did. Oh, no, she won't.

She won't, but I don't even want to know. Okay, yeah, good. She didn't, then. We'll give him a hint because he doesn't know what you're talking about. He didn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. I could tell.

Yeah, no, I don't know anything. I also don't want to know. Yeah. I'm good with that too. The lesser I'm involved in stuff, the more I got, more drama I got to deal with. Yeah, I don't know that I, the only thing, she'll tell me something sometimes that has nothing to do with you guys. Like a secret of hers and she'll be like, you can't tell anybody? And I'll go, can I please tell Eddie?

Because y'all are one. Yeah, we're one. Boom. But then Eddie goes and tells his wife. Eddie tells his wife everything. Right. True. But my wife's not telling anyone, right.

Okay. It's one person. Who she won with? Crap. I don't know. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Cately. Crap. And it makes it back. And a new poll, 10% of people say it's always acceptable to tell your spouse other people's secrets. It's not always. Always is not. Like 10%. It's only 10%.

Amy, now it's never. 10%. You're in the minority. Another 29% say it's usually fine. Oh. 20% say it's never acceptable. That's the one I'm talking about it. Never.

I don't like. And it's pretty much the same men and women. Definitive words. Amy, do you tell him stuff now even though you're divorced? No. What if he's like? I'm dying to hear a secret. No, he wouldn't.

Who says that? That's it, yeah. I'm dying to know a secret. You don't tell him? No. Okay. Yeah, we're not big secret house. What do you mean?

She didn't tell me. I don't, she doesn't. Y'all are one, but you're not one. No, it's just like I don't care enough about people's secrets to even have an interest in secrets. I'm not supposed to know I'm good. I'm all good. I don't like gossip. But if she tells you, she tells you.

But I also think she's not going to tell him. Yeah, she's probably also not going to tell me. And she also doesn't like gossip, at least not to me. Because I'm just like, that's stupid. I want to waste my time worried about that. I get that. Yeah. You like a little gossip, though.

I don't. I don't like gossip, but I mean, I'm all ears. I'll take gossip. You know what I'm open? You know what I'm over business? Yeah. Okay. It's time for the good news.

Oh, it's Bobby. Yeah, it's something good. When a bride in California faced the sudden cancellation of her wedding, well, she was upset, but it was so close to the end. She'd already paid for a reception that was about 50. $15,000. So she's like, just donated to the local nonprofit. So there's one called Parents Helping Parents.

It's a San Jose-based organization that offers support to families with children to have disabilities. And so that's what happened. All of this turned into a party for them, the people in the organization, they brought a guest. It was dinner, dessert, a DJ booth, a phone booth,

fireworks display. That's amazing. She donated it at all. They didn't tell, doesn't say why. They got canceled a wedding. You can use your imagination, I guess. Yeah.

broke up. Or, I don't know, whatever. Who knows? Somebody could have died, sure. I didn't think about that. The Lydar said, you know what. Yeah. They broke up?

We heard you. Yeah. The party provided a unique and memorable experience, according to the story, for attendees with families and children who never get to do such things because of their disabilities. Love it. That was pretty cool. Pretty cool idea. I mean, hate it for her. Love how she handled it.

I remember Abby going up there and going, hey, can I sing one in that? Yeah, and then she stood on the side awkwardly as they're all dressed up in their costume. That's not true?

and then Abby was there in her regular clothes singing and it was like everybody was going why is Abby up there? I did feel a little awkward because I wasn't dressed up like them. What do you remember, John, about it? I remember that that I started recruiting Abby

Words a voice about a spoiler that somebody on the show supposedly gave. That person's Amy. Wow. What? You may defend this.

Wow. You may defend this. Here we go. Spoiler alert. Amy just spoiled bad surgeon. That just came out. I'm literally in the middle of it. And now I know everything that happened. Bummer. No, that's not everything.

It's definitely not everything. Well, yeah, you're not going to say everything. You don't remember everything. Also, this has been in the news before. It has? You never knew about it. We almost watched it last night. We had it up.

We're like, bad surgeon. And I was like, I kind of heard the whole thing from Amy. And you know the same way? You didn't hear the whole thing from me. Wait, what did I give away? We ain't going to repeat it. Am I saying it? I'm not going to repeat it either.

But if I did, wow, shoot, I'm very selfish. I don't know for sure that you did, but just based on your past record. I want to say things out loud to see if that's what I gave away, but then I might be giving it away again. So, y'all, either way, it's still good and fascinating and crazy and wild. On Netflix. Yeah, watch it. I don't even know if he's good or bad. That's how unspoiled I am of it.

Ray, give me number three. Hey, this is pretty random, but I just heard an ad from Ray, and it was a betting ad. And I remember a while back, Ray was supposed to get like a $50,000 bet that he had won or something like that. I was just wondering, had y'all updated about that? Did you ever get it? Did I just miss it? Thanks. Love the show.

It'll always be a mystery. Because Ray never got his money, but I don't even know if he actually bet it. Yeah, I mean, I did, and I've not got the money. So, yes, it is a mystery still. Why do you think you've not gotten it? Well, the website, honestly, it kind of blackballed me. I don't even know if my login works anymore. This is back in the day, like an offshore account.

Yeah, we're talking over four years ago. Oh, way more than that, way more than that. Yeah. Like seven, right? It was Trump's full term and that ended and they still didn't pay me. So, yeah, it's been six, seven years. And how much money? 50,000.

And you're just going to go with the login doesn't work. Oh, man. I had to send me a new password. They never sent me the email. 50 grand? Well, they just don't have a brick and mortar. I mean, you really got to go to the country and it's in Costa Rica. I'd go for 50 grand.

Yeah. I don't know exactly their address. Yeah, and when you show up in Costa Rica for your money, you ain't coming back. Right. That's a pretty point. I don't think Ray ever bet it. I don't think so either. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

All right, I have the top five most mispronounced words or names of 2023 in no particular order. Shana Doa. No, not too much this year. Okay. Go ahead. Well, Travis Kelsey, someone that's majorly, you know, hit the headlines this year. And he said that both ways of saying his name are correct, Kelsey or Kelse. No.

No. I've never heard Kelce. It's Kelsey. K-E-L-C-E. Yeah. Okay, well, mine's bones or bonnet as pick, but really it's bones. What's his name? He said two ways.

Both are correct, according to Travis. Okay. We'll see. Okay. Siza. The singer? The artist? Yeah, SZA.

Yeah, it's Sza. And so a lot of people just didn't know how to say it. Luckily, my 16-year-old daughter kept me in the know and I know that it's Siza. Yeah. But we listen to a lot of SZA, not by my choice. So it's not S-ZA. But you don't pronounce it. Oh, no, no, it's Siza.

Yeah. Yeah. I did that for a little bit. I learned from. Well, they're all capitals, too. how he's supposed to not. Right, I know. Okay, so the guy that is in Oppenheimer, it looks like his name is Sillian Murphy. Sillian. Because it's C-I-L-L-I-A-N. Is it not Sillian? No. What is it? Killian. So the C is a K. That sounds, that sounds dangerous and intimidating.

Or Killeen. I think I would change it to Killian. Kahlia. Kuk, Kut, not a S. Okay, all right. And then Saturn's sixth moon. Oh, yeah, Knovenaz. In the news. Oh, that's seven. Sorry. It looks like Ian, like C-E-L-A. This is something people googled the most. Yeah, what in the world?

Scientists. What one person Googled Saturn 6th Moon? People don't know. But no one knows what it is. It made the news. What's the name of it? Insulidus. Like enchiladas, but.

Oh, that's cool. I'll remember that. And then last one, speaking of Mexican, there's a volcano. Better be in Mexico. Mexico. Okay, good. That threatened to erupt this year and many people didn't know how to say it.

I assume this is also people on the news. They're trying to report about it and they're like, blah, blah, blah, they don't know what they're saying. But that is Popo Kati Pettel. Nailed it. What is it again? Popokati Petil. No chance. That accent, though, is not.

I mean, that is Spanish. Popo Capitello. No. Yeah, I'm not. I would just, Travis Kels. That's what I learned for. All right. What else?

Okay, there's going to be a spice of the year for 2020. Cinnamon. Nope. Nutmeg. Nope. But I didn't know they named flavors of the year, but McCormick said they spent nine months researching cuisines all around the world with a specific aim of finding which spices are trending. I know, but I can think of two. That's the two.

And all I can think I want until he said nutmeg. Pepper. Salt. I got another one. Go ahead. I don't know if I'm saying it right. Pepetuma. That's a press.

It's either tamarind or tamarine. Rind, but that is a Mexican flavor, Eddie. It's very popular in Mexico. Tamarindo. Oh, that's it? Mm-hmm. All right. So tamarind.

Oh. He just said it. I know, but I'm saying it that American-A-N-I think the English way of saying it is tamarind. Yeah. It's tamarindo, yeah. So that apparently is going to be very popular in cooking in 2024. So go ahead and grab it for your spice wrap. A lot of Mexican in this pile.

I like it. Brought to you by Mexico. We don't chop off heads anymore. Come on down. So Dolly Parton bought. a building downtown Nashville, and she's going to turn it into a hotel. Oh, well. Yeah, it's 11-story building about 2,300 square feet, and it's, I mean,

230,000 square feet. Excuse me, and it's $75 million. And she said that she believes in the future of Nashville, and she thinks this is a great investment. Yeah, I believe in that too. Golly. All right, thank you. I'm Amy. That's my pile.

That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With Amy. All right. So in Tampa, Florida, there's a 15-year-old. Her name is Avery Reneery, and she's a huge Taylor Swift fan. And so she's doing something special for kids that are in the hospital. And she knows what it's like for kids to be in the hospital because her brother had a kidney transplant. And her mother was the donor. So she's been around hospitals. So what she's created are these friendship bracelet-making kits. And patients can use it for entertainment. Like a Taylor's concert. Like, yeah, because if you go to a Taylor concert or you went to her heirs tour, they were exchanging and swapping friendship bracelets with different fans and whatnot. They're so cute. So that's the idea that she's taking to the hospitals.

So they get to make the bracelets, which is entertainment. But then they get to swap beads. Like even nurses are in on it too. So it's just something really special. Well, to all you out there were getting the bracelets, do not put your number and give it to Dustin Lynch. She will not return here. Oh, man. Yeah.

Oh. That was awkward. So she calls this banded together. Yeah. And shout out to Avery. That's a great story. Because, again, she's only 15 years old. And shout out to Taylor Swift for inspiring her.

That's how Travis, like, supposedly. Okay. So he, Travis, Kelsey made a bracelet for Taylor. That's what he said. But he couldn't get backstage. And then it made the news. And then all of a sudden they're the happiest couple in the world. That's pretty cool, man.

All right. All right. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was tell me something good. A win is a win. A win is a win. I don't care what I'm saying.
