All right, here we are. We're back. We're here. Morning studio. Morning. I am here and I am about, I don't know, if I'm putting a percentage on it, 43%. But you know what, danga, I'm here, and we're doing show. So, hey, hold your applause, everybody. I don't need to be, I don't need to be celebrated.

Wow. Wow. We got you. I've been as sick as I've ever been in my entire life this week. But I am here and we are ready to go. I'm going to start with this. Lunchbox says the jinx is real. And because of this voicemail lunchbox? Yes. Last week, we got a voicemail from a lady like, oh, Bobby, like how many days in your career have you missed due to sickness? And probably's like, oh, not very many. And then boom, like two days later. Boom is very. Right. Here's a clip of the voicemail. Have you ever had to take off and you weren't on air? Because I feel like you're one of those people who, if you have had to, like, miss a day, you can count it on, like, your hands.

So how many days have you actually missed? I need to know. So that was the question. And I said a few over the years, and I can add a couple more after this week. But I don't believe in the jinx. I'm like Patty Gassow, the coach at Oklahoma. I don't believe in the jinx. I think I had some bad luck. as prior rounds of people I need to be around caught the disease and here I am you know I mean that's the jinks it's the jinks

dude that would have never happened if we didn't play that voicemail I mean it's that's not true one has nothing to do with the other yeah the fact that we played the voicemail has nothing to do with the fact that I've almost died over the last five days do you guys not believe that he would have not got sick and the jinks wouldn't have been in if we didn't play that voicemail it did not happen until we played that voicemail

when's the last time he got sick sick and missed work. I mean, I can't even remember. Exactly. It was the year of 1761. It doesn't matter. I'm here. We're good. We're rolling. We're good. Everybody good. How's your weekend? Just kidding. It's like Thursday. I don't know. What day is it? I know. That's what it feels like to me. I haven't seen the blue sky in like four days. But I saw it yesterday and I'm here at work today. We're going to get through this show. I'm happy to be somewhat normal. I am at my house. Everybody else is in the studio, but dang it, we're going to finish this show or mine... I die right there.

And we lost. It's time to open the mailbag. You send an email and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Hello, Bobby Bones. So an old college friend is getting married and I don't think I was invited to the wedding because everyone else from our group got an invitation. I did not.

I wasn't too upset because we weren't the closest, but it's not like we had a falling out. If I were getting married, I would invite him because he's a good friend of my friends. So long story short, I got the invitation yesterday that I didn't get originally. But I wasn't so quick to RSVP because of my mind I'm on the B list of guests.

And he probably doesn't care if I go or not. I look at it this way. If I RSVP with a not, attending note no harm is done also I don't have to bother getting him a gift or even inviting him to my wedding one day am I obligated to go if I got the invitation so much later than everyone else oh and I never got to save the date what a classy move here signed mad that I didn't get the invite it sounds like he does really want to go or he wouldn't have sent this email he's like I

don't even want to go you were feelings were hurt that you didn't get an invite I understand that it sucks and not be invited places even if you're not super close but people super close to you are invited happens to me all the time with every party no literally every party all my friends are like did you get the invite? sure didn't they're like you check your email nope probably in there check it nope not in there so I understand you're hurt a little bit but no you don't have to go if you don't want to go but I don't think you should go I wouldn't invite into my wedding and then later go you know what then I won't invite into my wedding you're hurt by this and that's okay you do not have to go you can RSVP and say not

attending, but I would encourage you not to hold it against them. Also, the B list. That happens, buddy. That happens. We had a B list at ours. We didn't get to it because everybody said yes, but we had a B list, meaning they're on the border. Did? Yeah. Like they're on the border, like close and we don't have enough seats. And when you invite people, especially if it's a specific amount of food and chairs, you have to only invite up to that point. And so we didn't get there, but we had a B list. I think also too sometimes even if it's not a B list they just roll out at different times and they're working on a list oh I don't believe that They probably all go out at the same time unless it's like well we got seven nose so let's send some more out Oh

Yeah I don't think it's really going out of shifts What I didn't know that happened but if you got a certain amount of nose I just figured you just take that amount off the list and then your head count goes down You don't have to like fill a there's a quota then you may be getting pressure from like cousins being hey why don't you invite this cousin or what And it's like, okay. Okay. Because we had some of that too, but I was like, we're having the wedding at our house. We have no more room. So we were able to get out of it that way.

So I would also encourage you to have Ronnie Dunn from Brooks and Dunn sing at your wedding. That'll do it. When you have one. Super easy. Don't worry about it, buddy. They say you know RSVP if you don't want to go. Just say, hey, can't come. Appreciate that.

Have a good day. But my heart says you want to go because your friends are going to be there. Go to the wedding. Go. Just go. And you're, don't let that hurt you. And things that stood out to me were, you're like, we weren't that. close anyway. Oh, the whole thing's defensive.

Right. Go to the wedding. Have a good time. Don't worry that you got invited second or third. Listen, they didn't even want me for this job until like fourth or fifth. The whole world is successful people who weren't the first choice. So this isn't a huge deal, but go and have fun. There you go. That's my recommendation. That's it. That's the mailbag. Close it up. So we haven't been here in a couple days. I've been very sick, but I'm glad to be back. So let's just check in and see what's the haves. Hey, what's the hats?

All right, Eddie, I'm coming to you. What's been happening? Dude, so look, my kids, we're done with baseball now, but now we're on to basketball. And we had our first game coming up a few days ago, and the coach calls in sick. So what do they do? They're like, dads, any dads that can coach, please come help? And I was like, great, this is it. I'm going to have to be coach.

Well, dude, I stepped in, and it was crazy because we almost won the damn game. I mean, it was so close. Okay, so you lost. I got so many questions. First of all, how did you become the head coach when you've never coached at all? Because I've been at every practice. I've been kind of helping facilitating some of the players, you know, I've just been there. So the coach said, I think Eddie is the one that could be my backup, because he's

He's been there every practice. Okay. So I stepped in. I like that. You step in. And then you didn't want to say you lost. So you stumbled over almost. Listen, you don't understand.

It was a close game. It came down to the last minute. We were down by one basket. Two points. And I call a timeout. I say, boys, this is it. We're down by one basket. Let's go.

Let's go. Then we started the game. Never got the ball back. Oh. You mean you didn't draw a point? You mean yelling, let's go, let's go. Didn't fire them up? No, it did not fire him up.

Okay. That's pretty cool. Almost won. Are you going to do it again? No, I told my wife, I'm like, I don't want a coach. She goes, you looked really natural out there. And she said that I looked like a good coach, but I hated it. I was stressed out.

I yelled way too much. I don't want to do it again. She's so encouraging. All right, what's the haps? Hey! Hey, what's the hatch? Amy, what's been happening with you? Well, my kids get recognized from time to time.

And something just clicked in my son because he got recognized this weekend. And he kind of sounded like lunch. We got home, we're sitting in the kitchen, and he just looked at me and he said, mom, am I famous? And then I felt like I had to sit him down and explain to him like we have to explain to lunchbox about once a week about how he's not famous. But my son actually received it and understood. Oh, yeah. Okay, cool. I get it.

Sometimes we're going to get recognized because people listen to the show, but it doesn't mean I'm famous. Yeah. He's known in small people. pockets of America. Exactly. As your son. Yes. Yes.

And so I just thought, wow, this is crazy. My 11-year-old can receive this, but lunchbox is 40 and cannot. All right. Hey. Hey, what's the hatch? So I've been out. I've been down for the count for the last few days. Very sick.

Maybe the sick as I've been in 10 years or so. But the one thing that's kind of held through are PD-a-lite popsicles, man. I don't know if you guys ever had those before, but they make them now. and if I struggle just drinking water I don't like to drink water I like water with some sort of flavor I'm 11 so Kailin's like drink this water

I was like I don't want to drink water it doesn't taste good well then she's like well how about a PDLI popsicle and I was like yeah so I had about nine of those instead of a cup of water at times but I'm telling you if you have a young child it's awesome

so that's what I'm going to give you from this sickness is for me it was the introduction to PDLI popsicles but again I'm probably 48, 49% today. Tomorrow I plan to be 75, 80%.

I'm still rocking my shows this weekend. All good. Well, it all wasn't good. A lot of it was really hard. But all good. I had to miss my book launch. Oh, my gosh. I don't even know what day,

what planet this is. I had a book come out on Tuesday. Stanley the Dog, first day at school, I had all this press lined up to do and missed every bit of it, so I got to do no sort of press. for the book. So,

uh. Well, what's crazy is how many people pre-ordered and honestly, I was shocked. I forgot I pre-ordered it and it arrived in the mail. Thank you.

And I was like, oh, yay! Look at me. Way back in the day, but also I saw so many people that got it day of, which means so many people pre-ordered. Yes, and I'm very appreciative.

And if you weren't pre-ordering, because I would never pre-order anything, really. And I appreciate those who did. You can go to Amazon and order it now and it'll be there in a day or two. But it's called... Yes, I have two things to say. Go ahead.

Yes, it's called Stanley the Dog, first day of school. But I haven't received my signature yet. Uh-oh. My autograph for you. Just kidding. I didn't email the thing, but I saw some people are getting mad, and they're leaving that as a review, and they need to not do that because you're mailing it out,

and they need to give you five stars. Well, here's what happened. The book company says, you need to do a pre-sell. I said, I don't want to do a pre-sell. I think pre-sales are dumb. They said, well, it's in your contract to do a pre-sale. I said, I will. only do a pre-sell if I can promise the people that are going to buy it early that I can send them something extra.

I'm not going to charge them anymore, but they say, okay, great. So we sell like 13,000 in pre-sale. I've been signing these little art cards every day for at least an hour for the past two months. And so we never said they were going to come out right when the book came. You're going to get the book. Some of them got it before. Some will get it after. But you'll get it in the mail. And it's this signed piece of art that goes with the book. And people are all upset they didn't get there is when other people are getting it on the... We're mailing them out individually. I'm going crazy over here. And I got sick.

And so then they're leaving one-star reviews on Amazon. They're like, love the book. Didn't get my autograph, one star. Yeah, I was bothered by that. But I was just saying, too, they had to have also sent the email to get the signature. Yes, it is a matter. Anyway.

Okay. Peteylight popsicles, everybody. That's all about it. Hey, what's the hat? Lunchbox, what's happening with you? Well, I had my garage sale this past weekend, and I had an awkward encounter with a neighbor because afterwards you have a bunch of crap you don't want so you want to give it away. Well, they had put a sign in front of their house said free and had a bunch of stuff out there.

And all the stuff was gone. So I was like, they had spray painted it on a piece of wood. I was like, that is a perfect free sign. So everybody knows it's free. So I went down, took their sign, put it in front of my stuff. Four minutes later, neighbor comes down, takes it out of my yard. And I run into him today and he's like, hey, it's not a community sign. Next time, make your own sign.

Dang. I mean, it's not your sign. But when is he ever going to use that wood that he spray painted free on it? I agree. Not against your reasoning, but it wasn't your sign. And so I could see where if he was, you know, a little tight butt that he could get upset. Was this the Christmas Lights neighbor by any chance? No, no, not the Christmas Lights neighbor.

I don't even know where the Christmas Light's neighbor lives. He just walks. He was on a walk when I saw him. This guy lives literally three doors down. And I'm like, I was just. borrowing the sign, man. You went four doors over and stole the sign? Borrowed.

Borrowed. I mean, it only lasted four minutes in front of my house before he was back and they snatched it on up. Okay. It's not your sign. You can't take it. Yeah, you have to ask. You have to ask. Ask, it's a You get a scrap piece of wood with free spray painted on it. You don't own it. Okay. Thank you all. What's the hats? Hey, what's the hat?

Well, as I check in with everybody, I realized I didn't miss a whole lot. It's awesome. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan No. 2's 32nd Skinny.

It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Tell me something good. Officer Brian Ferrari, he works in Detroit, and he likes to pull people over, whoop, fight crime, you know, but he also likes to give back to the community. And during the pandemic, the public library was closed,

and he was like, man, these kids got nowhere to go get books. So he went to the store and started buying books. And when he'd see kids out in the neighborhood, he'd pull up, hey, guys, here's a book, read it. And people started finding out about it. They started donating more books to them. Now they give them, like, baseball gear, basketballs. That way kids are shooting hoops.

He pulls up, hey, here's a new basketball, all to get back to the community. That's pretty good. I like that story, too. I like highlighting police officers that do awesome stuff as well.

Okay, so the question from Amy is, is she a helicopter parent or a responsible parent? Why do you ask this? What happened? Well, so Stevenson has started to want to ride his bike to his practice, like his classes, you know, that he takes for martial arts and stuff. and I want him to have that freedom. Yes, go ride your bike. We live in an area where you could do that,

but then at the same time, I follow him in my car. You gave him freedom, liberty. You're free child. You strung along. Yeah, and then there was one point where I was at a red light filming him and he caught me. He didn't know that you were following him at all? No, I said free as a bird.

You got this, dude. You got this. Go ahead. And so I followed him, especially to this one busier intersection that I'm worried about. And I, you know, wanted to make sure he did good. And then I went off and I pulled over and kind of hid back behind these bushes to see if he would handle everything within the law. And he did. I was so proud of him. Okay. I don't think this is helicopter parent at all. Okay. I think it's fine to do this a couple of times to see if he's making good decisions. think it's fine to do it when he knows you're following him. I think it's fine to do it when he doesn't know you're following him so you can see what decisions he's making. And then eventually, though, if you like what you see, you have to fall off and let him do what you told him he was getting to do anyway. Right. My only problem with is not so much that I'm fearing his choices now that now that I've seen him do it successfully, I'm very proud of him. I just worry about other people that might snatch him or something. Well, that's always going to be there, right?

Are you going to let him just right? Yes, I'm going to make you feel good, Amy. Here we go. Ready? People are always going to try to steal him, okay? Okay, okay. I feel better about this now. It's fine.

So are you going to let him do it without you following him next time? We'll see. TBD, I'll keep y'all posted. This is a big deal. I am proud of him and we'll see what happens. One time I couldn't catch him on the way back. And I had to call my husband and be like, you've got to follow him on the way home

because I can't be there. and you got to follow him. So my husband was all trying to be all incognito following our son home. He's in full camo behind trees crawling on the ground. But then, like, did this maneuver where he beat him home. And so he thought we were at home, like, the whole time. Oh, we're clever. You're probably not as clever as you think, but I like it.

It means you love him. And if you watch him make good decisions, many times in a row, you have to trust that he's going to make good decisions when you're not watching him as well. Right. That's what I would say. But are you a helicopter parent? I go, no.

I'm going to speak for Eddie because he is a helicopter parent and go, no, Eddie thinks you should have him in that little cart beside you and you should ride him. You should put the little cart, like the little bicycle cart. The side cart, hey, she was telling that story and the whole time I'm not in my head. Absolutely. You're a great parent, Amy. Yeah. Right, but would you eventually let your son just do it himself? Not the next year.

Eddie's like eventually when he turns 21. You're 14-year-old or however? Yeah, he's 14. Oh, my gosh. Lunchbox? 11. You're a helicopter parent. Let the kid go. I mean, guys, you have to let the kids out in the world and experience things. I was riding my bike to school a mile away when I was in second grade. I was six years old riding my bike to school. You guys need to get a grip on reality. Let the kid go do his thing and trust that you have raised him to make smart decisions. Hey, peepa, the Cold War is over. Okay. Exactly.

Lunchbox is out arguing with clouds right now. Back when I was a kid. But I can't believe you won't let him ride his bike a couple of... She did let him. No, and you tailgated him. Well, no one knows that. But also, was Lunchbox in advance second grader? Six.

Okay, seven years old. Sorry. Seven years old. Sorry about that. Amy, keep doing you. I like it. Give us the update whenever you let him go himself, okay? All right.

Here's the voicemail we got yesterday. If lunchbox is as famous as he thinks he is, why does he have to introduce itself as lunchbox from the Bobby Bone Show on his commercials? Think about that. Maybe he's not as famous as he thinks he is after all. Any rebuttal there? No, it's just a good name association when you hear Lunchbox and then Bobby Bone Show. It's two big things together. It gets people's attention.

That's why you do it. Okay. Here is Charlie from Virginia. I just wanted to comment you guys and compliment you all. on how good you've done at hiding that you're on vacation. The podcast has got new stuff and old stuff. You guys are getting tricky. Hope you all have a good vacation.

Bye. Hey, Charlie, I've been on my deathbed, buddy. The only thing I've been faking is that I'm alive. We recorded this months ago. I've since passed, everybody. That's how sick I've been, Charlie. And you're over here calling, saying we're on vacation. You're out of your mind.

We do try to trick people, though, but not this time. Not this time. Yeah, Charlie, I've been sick. What? Well, I wouldn't call it tricking, actually, because when it is actual vacation, we could take the time completely off. But we try to throw in and sprinkle in little treats of new content. We'll do all shows. Yeah, I'll do a whole show and be like, we're going to put a whole new.

People be like, you don't even do that. You're on vacation when you did that whole new show. What's the difference to you? Yeah. I'm going to blow my voice out if being sick for two days. All right, Charlie, I appreciate that call, buddy. Hey, thank you. You can always call us on the voicemail line.

Same as the phone number. 877-77 Bobby. Here's Amy's pile of stories. A boss is being called out for an extreme rule that punishes staff for being one minute late. I like that guy. What's his name? His name is staying private.

It's this thread on Reddit, but someone shared that their boss, and they shared a photo that they put up this paper that said, for every minute you are late to work, you will be required to work 10 minutes after 6 p.m. So, for example, if you arrive at 10.02, you have to stay until 6.20. This is my guy right here. Now, listen, for those who don't know this show, it's been a longstanding rule of, don't get here late, because nobody else got here late.

Unless there is something happening in your life that allows that, a sick kid, a car wreck. You get pulled over. Debatable. Depends how fast you were going. that if you can't get here in time, then there's no need to get here because you're not respecting everybody else like they respected you. So years ago, after it became an issue,

I just said, here's the rule. One minute late, have a day off. On me. And you know what? Nobody ever got their pay taken away? You just got a day off, basically. Did they? Anybody ever get their pay taken out? No.

Never got it. Right. But it hurt. I... Did you learn a lesson from it? No. Yes. No, yeah. I was so angry.

I would be so mad all day. That was my lesson. Say I if you've been sent home. Aye. Aye. Eddie, what? You say you didn't learn a lesson. Are you late ever?

No. Like, generally, are you late anymore? No, I'm not. And that's with anything in my life. I'm really not late anymore. But how many times did I have to do that? Did you send me home? Three times, four times?

Yeah. I mean, there were times too. Eddie and I'd be on the road. We'd leave him. I'd be like, all right, he's not down. Let's go. We gave him extra time. All right, I guess I learned my lesson.

My point is you're now better people because of that. You know what I'm proud of you all. Yeah. Good job for being better people. And whoever this boss is, I'm voting for you in the next election. All right. What else you got? Well, a new survey came out, or a study was done, and it looks like more adults are playing video games than kids.

Hey. Oh, than kids. Oh, wow. I thought you were going to say than they were last year. I don't know you're going to more than kids. But a lot of people, when they think of video games, they just think of kids, and they're not playing outside anymore, and they're just front of a screen all the time. But it's the adults that are playing more video games. But I think video games, I think that term is so dated.

It's not just, it's like being on Facebook or being on social media or that's what playing video games is. You're just hanging out with your friends and you're like trying to accomplish something. And for anybody who makes fun of us, you know what, kick rocks. Well, when it comes to the reasons why these adults are playing games, I can give you the top three. I'll tell you mine is because this is how I hang out with my friends. I hang out with Eddie and Mike Sines and Steve. Andrew, and that's where we talk and put our headsets on and bond. Well, then you're part of the 93% that say it brings them joy.

There you go. Is that you with your friends bringing you joy? And that's how random kid Cody and I became friends again, video games. I'm all bud-heard about this. Very defensive. I love them. 91% say it provides mental stimulation, and then 89% say it offers major stress relief. It's the only place that I can go and not be stressed out.

And two, if I didn't have my friends playing with them, I wouldn't play video games. I don't care about the actual game. That's just a conduit to friendship. You heard it here first. All right, what else? Well, I found a fun story from Jordan Davis, who sings by dirt. By dirt. Find the one you can't live with her.

We were talking about helicopter parenting earlier, and if you happen to be one, well, it looks like you're in good company, because Jordan Davis is admitting to being an overprotective dad, and he always thought he was going to be really chill and let his kids run around and do whatever. But it turns out he's the one in the relationship that really freaks out, and his wife is the love.

and it's really laid back. He's like, all right, kids, just playing my beard. Go ahead and get in there and play, and I'll catch up with you guys later. All right, Amy, thank you. I'm Amy. That's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news.

With producer Eddie. Tell me something good. So last week, two guys were getting into a fight in the Chicago subway. They're punching each other, and they both fall in the tracks, like into that area where all the tracks are. Well, apparently the third track is electrical.

So if you hit that with your body, it electrocutes you. Well, that's what happened to one of the guys. One of the guys hit that track. He got electrocuted. The other guy just fled. So another subway comes and there's a guy sitting in the subway says, is that a guy in the tracks? He runs in there, rescues the guy, gets shocked as well, and it all makes the news. Somebody got it on video and they put the video on the news.

It went viral. Well, a local businessman saw the story and says, whoever saved that guy from the tracks, I'm gifting him a car, so he never has to ride the subway again. Wow. Okay, there's a lot to unpack here. First of all, you said the first guy got electrocuted. I feel like when you get cuted, you die. No, you can get electrocuted without dying.

You can't. I mean, yes. So he got electrocuted and knocked him out unconscious. So I guess when he got electrocuted, it knocked him off so he wasn't laying on the tracks. But when the guy was helping him, it electrocuted him too. So the hero in the story made it out okay. He barely got hurt. I feel like that's just getting shocked.

I feel like get electrocuted is when you die. Oh, really? Yeah. Like if you get electricuted. If you get electricuted, I feel like you should have to die. If you don't die, then you just got shocked real bad. I think you're thinking of drowning, because if you drown, you die. I don't know.

You can't drown and then pop back up? No. No, you drown and you die. Okay, let me see. You're electrocuted. Let me see what the definition is. Electricution. The injury of killing someone by electric shock.

Ooh, injury. But that's electric cut. That's because you're looking at up probably. in the terms of like, you know, punishment. Does electrocution mean death? An electrocution means that a person has died as a result of electricity. Wow.

And then now that I look back at the story, it never said electrocuted. That's my bag, guys. It said shocked, like I thought. Okay, so the guy who got shocked got saved and the guy who did the saving got a free car. Also got shocked. And got a free car.

Correct. He got a 2008 Audi with a gas card. Outie? Mm-hmm. In the end, nobody got electrocated. There we go. Okay, there we go. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good.

It is time for the investigative morning corny. We'll have 90 seconds to figure out Amy's joke. Amy, ready? Ready. Here we go. The morning corny. What do you get when you take a hammer and smash a bunch of mintos? Something mint.

The one, when she says mintos, she's, No, that's just how I say mintos. Okay, I'm hearing mintos. Amy, go ahead. What do you get when you take a hammer and you smash a bunch of mintos? What on earth? If she's saying men's toes, you get a bunch of men that are hurting. But if she's saying the mintos, I'm not.

Okay, the fresh... I'm saying mentos, the candy you eat. Bentos. You smash mentos. You smash it. You smash it, and it breaks. Where does the hammer come in, though? The hammer smashes it.

Broken toes. What do you get when you take a hammer and smash a bunch of men's toes? A bunch of broken men's toes. That's all I could get. No, min toes, not men toes. Fresh camera. We got nothing, good. Fresh smell.

We spent most of this time debating if you're saying men's toes or mintoes. All right, that's time. Mentos. All right, we didn't get it. Go ahead. The morning corny. What do you get when you take? take a hammer and smash a bunch of mintos.

What? Fragmentoes. Oh, wow. We would have never got that. What? Fragment toast. Fragments. Fragments.

Fragments. Like, fragments. When you smash something, fragments. Yeah, we'd never got that one. We're over here going. Hey. How many toes does a man have if he worked at a lumber mill for seven years?

I told Abby that I'm working to be an elementary teacher, so I would definitely read it in my classroom. All right. Well, I get you one of those and whatever else we have here. I'll make sure you get something good, okay?

Thank you, so much hope you feel better. Morgan, how did you meet Tom Hanks? Well, so I was at CMA Fest working, but after I got done working, I just went out into the crowd and I was hanging out with my parents. And we were jamming to Jason Aldeen. He was playing. I was like, you know, I really need to go pee. So I left her in the middle of Jason Aldeen's set,

and I'm walking up the stairs in this section where every other fan is at, right? And I kind of look and I'm like, oh, that looks like Rita Wilson. She's on her phone. Didn't think much of it. I went to pee. And while I'm sitting there, I'm like, if that was Rita Wilson, and she's only sitting next to somebody else, that has to be Tom Hanks. So I come back and I kind of scoot in front of them.

There's no one around. No security guards, no nothing. And the guy's sitting there jamming to the concert. Rita's on her phone reading something. And I just turn around. And sure enough, it was Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson just sitting there. Like watching the show like any other fan. It's crazy that people weren't piling on.

on to them going, hey, can I get a picture? Like, they weren't recognized. I know. And they were sitting, like, right on the aisle. In the rows in front and behind them weren't full. Like, you could easily access them if you wanted to. And after I went up to him, first of all, I did go up and say, hey, I'm Morgan from the Bobby Bone Show and we all love you on our show. Both of you guys are so awesome. Like, do you mind if I get a picture? And then after that, I blacked out because he took my phone and, like, took a selfie with me and I have no idea what happened afterward. See, Tom Hanks knows the Gavin deGraw technique. You take the phone, take the picture, and you can scoot people on their way.

That's exactly what happened. And they still feel loved, right? Yeah, I so did because I was like, oh, Tom Hanks even touched my phone. Like, that even made me feel more special. That's crazy. You just saw Tom Hanks hanging out. So you walked off. Why didn't they have better seats?

Can we get Tom Hanks better seats than sitting in the back of the stadium randomly? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't know who they were there for because they did stay through Jason Aldeen. They stayed for a little bit of Keith Urban and then they were gone. I maybe saw two other people go up to them, but besides that, there were people walking past the whole time. Oh, see, that's what I would be nervous of is if they were just chilling and then someone sees you ask for a picture and then it causes this flow of people and then I would feel really, really bad. I know. That's what I did originally too.

I was like, I'm sorry, I won't post a picture right now. Like, I'm not going to make everybody come talk to you guys. And they were so cool about it. I don't think Tom heard me most of the time, though, because the whole set was going on and he kept kind of putting his ear up to me. like, I can't really hear what you're saying. But he just kind of smiled and took my phone, took a picture, and then waved, and I left. So did he look older, younger in person? I don't know.

I've just never seen Tom Hanks in person, and he's about as famous as you can get. Yeah, I mean, honestly, he looked so good. I don't even know how old they are, but, like, his smile, I don't know if he's had work done or anything, but he looks amazing. And Rita looked great. So, but they don't look, like Tom doesn't look like how he would look in the movies. He looks like how he would look out in the movies. He looks like how he would look out in public

And all those stories we hear about him It's not like he has his hair died Like he's got like, you know, white hair He's got his glasses on He's just like a regular guy Well, I'm intrigued I wish I could see somebody famous in the wild You know, I don't know if they would have known who

Hey, I'm Morgan from the Bobby Bone Show I think they're just here That's just white noise to them, don't you think? I don't know, I feel like Rita knew who it was Because she looked at me and she's like Oh yeah, totally. Tom had no idea But Rita, I think knew I don't know

Some say if Forrest Gump was based on me Tom had to study some of them. All right. Let's do Morgan Wall and wasted on you. That's a good story, Morgan. That's pretty cool. I can hear Eddie's jealousy. You heard that?

I can just hear it dripping out of him. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it. You never met him, Eddie? I've never met him. And that night, I was supposed to be there with Morgan, but schedules got shifted around and I wasn't able to be there. So that was my one chance. That's your punishment there.

So dumb. Hey, thank you guys for being here. I'm back. I'm here today. I've been sick the last couple days. There's been no vacation. I wouldn't take vacation on a week where I had a book come out on Tuesday, wasn't even able to promote it,

have two comedy shows on Friday and Saturday night here in town, just trying to get well. I will be well. We're back, though, we're doing it. Everybody feel good? Everybody good? Oh, yeah. Love to hear it. Bobby's Big.

Stories. Amy, do you know who Clay Thompson is? I sounds like an athlete. Yeah, he plays for the Golden State Warriors. Really good player. There's a guy that fakes as him. there's that Clay Thompson impersonator he's been banned for life by the Golden State Warriors

after getting past security and making it onto the court he was dressed just like Clay does walks out sweats and everything they let him go right through but now they've banned him for life because of this however why aren't they banning the security people that didn't check to see if that was really Clay Thompson so hilarious

but I think this guy here Big Dawes whose name is Dawson Gurley I don't think he should be banned for life he was just trying to make a fun little video Maybe suspend him a few games. Maybe cut a game check, even though he didn't really play, you know? But pretty funny story. I do think that that's the team's fault more than anything for not being secure, right, guys?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, just making sure I'm not wrong on that one. Next up, don't pick up any folded money. That bill could be deadly. This is from a sheriff in Tennessee. That's right. They've issued a public safety warning about folded dollar bills.

They say they've investigated two recent incidents where a folded dollar. dollar bill was found on the floor at a gas station. When it was picked up, the person discovered a white powdery substance. Then they tested it meth and fentanyl. So it could actually make you sick or kill you if it's too much. Wait, but how does the substance get in your body? Just through your fingers? I'm a, what do you mean?

No. That's just how they hide the stuff. They put it in dollar bill. So they're saying, don't touch it. That's drugs in there. Oh. Amy thinks she's going to get high from touching the dollar bill. I thought this was a warning of like, this is how they're trapping us.

They're like dropping money, you know, kind of like needles in Halloween candy. You know, I'm not sure, guys. I just read the story. I too thought that there was drugs and the money, but then Amy made me start to think you could touch it and die. No, you're crazy. No, no, guys. At first I thought it was anthrax. Eddie is an idiot.

Okay, because I... Fentanyl can be ingested, inhaled, oral exposure, ingestion, or skin contact can kill you. See? Really? I was right. See, I admitted from the beginning, I didn't quite know. And he called Amy an idiot. Eddie thought this is drug dealer's master plan.

I'm like, man, South Texas, they would just do that to hide it. Wow. Well, that's from a source called PIN Live. Anyway, if you see Folded Money on the ground, they say don't pick it up. You're right. Just put gloves on first. If I see folded money, I'm going to kick it first, and then I'm going to pick it up. Jack and Coke in a can.

Coca-Cola and Brown-Forman team up for a new drink. What do you think about Jack and Coke in a can, Amy? I mean, convenient. I'm not a big Jack-and-Coke person, but I can see for those that are, it takes away the step of having to get the Jack, get the Coke, get a cup, mix it. This seems pretty like a no-brainer if you're a fan. That is from CNBC. Eddie, you like Jack and Coke?

I do. I mean, that's not my drink of choice, but I'll take it. And like Amy said, that's great. Hey, let's start doing rum and pineapple too while we're at it. They probably already have all that. It seems like any, like, combined drink. Now there's a seltzer or something that automatically combines it. Here we go. A sealed back to the future VHS tape sells for $75,000. Wow. Which is crazy. There's some good news for whomever you are. If you saved all your old crap and you go through and you find an old VHS tape that's never been opened, Well, this one person did, and they sold it for $75,000. His sealed copy of the first Back to the Future, that's from Action Network. Yes, Annie.

Well, what we need to be doing now is we need to think of what do we need to save right now and not open for 30 years? What is it? Well, if we knew that, we would do it now. I know. But this guy did it back then. It's probably an accident. I know. I know.

I know. I know. Okay. A Joker 2. And we're talking about the Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. It was really good. Everybody remember that one? Yeah.

Okay. So now they're thinking about the Joker 2. Lady Gaga's in early talks to join Joaquin Phoenix in a musical sequel. That's from the Hollywood Reporter. It sounds on the surface like something I'd be like, oh man, a musical, but I'm sure I would love it once I knew more about it. Also on the news, Adam Sandler's new Netflix film, Hustle gives him his best ever

Rotten Tomato score. Have you got seen Hustle yet? Not yes. It's awesome. Dude, I watched it. It was so, so good. It's awesome. I truly loved it.

Yeah, it's awesome. It's long. It's like two hours. Didn't even realize it. Yeah, I did. But it's awesome. So if you haven't seen Hustle on Netflix, and he's not Adam Sandler like,

he's just a guy who is a scout trying to be a coach, and he has to scout all over the world. It's a really good movie. You guys check it out. Also in the news of four-year-old boys accidentally given a vasectomy. What? Oh.

That, well, okay. But it's reversible, right? Parents of a four-year-old are suing after their kid was given to vasectomy. The boy was going to surgery to help with issues with a hernia. The doctor who performed the surgery, quote, cut the wrong tube. Ooh, I don't like those quotes. Cut the wrong tube. According to the $1 million lawsuit, the boy will more than likely have fertility issues later in life.

Oh, my. That's worth more than a million. I'm sorry. I'm not even litigious. Okay, thank you, Judge. It's true. That's crazy. Yeah, it is crazy that it happened.

That's from the Independent. I hate to see that. And then finally, do you exercise with your spouse? Experts say it will bring the two of you closer together as a team bonding experience. That's from Healthline. And I would say I used to, but my wife is very strong. And she does this thing called, hmm, what is it called? Some kind of technique where it's all legs all the time, and I cannot keep up.

And I feel like I go hard and I train hard, but I cannot keep up with her on this machine that she does. So I do not work out with her anymore. She actually led me through a workout last week. You mean the reformer? Yeah, but it's some guy specifically. Oh, okay. You know his name? I can't think of it right now.

I can't either. No. Shont. Is it? No. Billy Blanks. We just... Bandam.

No, it's not. No, it's some... I don't remember who it is. But it's... But also, you train. Like, you're doing all the... You're training for whatever you train for. Yeah.

Really, I've just convinced myself now I'm training for the apocalypse. Because I really have nothing else to train for, but I'm going really hard in case... Right. The world comes crashing down and I want to be ready for it. Although, being sick all this week has really... really cut down. If the apocalypse happens in the next few days, I'm screwed. Because I've lost all that that I

was training for. That fast? Yeah, well, when you're sick, man, it comes, it goes. Easy come, easy come, easy go. So, yeah, yeah. By the way, my book came out on Tuesday, this week. It's called Stanley the Dog and his first day at school. It's for kids, and it's about you don't have to fit in to be awesome.

Would love if you guys would give it a look. I didn't get to do any press for it, so now my book company's like, oh, you suck. You couldn't promote the book. So if you guys would like a positive children's book, please go buy it. Thank you. That counts the promotion, right, Amy? I'm good now?

I mean, yeah, we probably need to a little bit more, but that's good. I was already being told by the New York people that are like, if you don't come and do a New York press tour, you're not going to sell enough books. And I'd already said, no, I'm not going to New York. I don't feel like have to go to New York to do everything or L.A. I was like, I'm going to stay in Nashville. I'm going to stay where I am. And they're like, you know, only the big writers come to the, you know, New York or L.A. And I was like, I don't need that.

And then I got sick. So now it's going to look like they were right. So here's what I'm saying. Let's stand up against the big cities and let's go and buy this book on Amazon and really stick it to the man. Yeah. I don't know who the man is, but. The ones in the big cities. Yeah, big cities.

We want to stick it to the people in New York City. Get a rope. That's right. Pace Piccani's up. That's right. People in big cities listen to us also. But not New York City and they know. Yeah.

They were pretty much. Now, listen, these people were. telling me, they pretty much told me that all rural America sucks and that my book would never sell. Now listen. They said that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like, but I'm from rural America and they were like, that's why you suck. And I was like, okay. So I said, I'm going to bond together

all my people that listen, that live in rural America, that know people live in rural America, or they can spell the word rule. And we're all going to come together and we're going to buy this kid's book and stick it to New York City. Those were Bobby's Big. Stories. The Bobby Bone

There's a pest control company,

Here's your cash, man. Sign me up. The pest informer said it's looking for five to seven houses. to release these cockroaches and then gauge their effectiveness on basically killing them. So it takes about 30 days. Oh, so how fancy a vacation you're going on there for 30 days? Oh, family four, only $2,000. Yeah, I'll pay for that.

I'll just come stay at your house. Okay, let's say you have to stay there. Would you stay there, though, if they gave you $2,000? But I don't know that I can do it. I can't. I think I would be scared to walk or go anywhere. and they'd mate and then multiply and, ugh. Amy's going full gremlins right now.

Feed him after midnight. Don't feed him after dark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's a lot of money, but I would be so grossed out. 100 cockroaches, $2,000. Yes or no? No.

maybe longer than that. And she put them on the bed and there was a huge spider just crawling right across it. It was like as big as my hand if I take my... It was. If I take my hand and I spread it out. It was. You know Africa? Get out of here.

Do you see the picture on Instagram? Yes, and it was not as big as your hand. Yes, it was huge. It's bigger than my head. Bigger than my head. All right, would you take $2,000, Eddie, yes or no? Yeah, dude, there's probably 100 cockroaches in my house right now. Oh, my gosh, sure. Game time.

Lunchbox. Yes, cockroaches, listen. Guys, you see him? Guess what? Take a shoe in. Whack? Smack them. No, you have to keep... How are they going to test their...

It does not say, hey, if you see him, you've got to keep them alive. No, hey, man, you must have killed that one. Sorry, good job, man. Okay, listen, I just pulled it up. In addition to the infest... station, you'll also have to consent to filming and monitoring your home so that they can track all the roaches. That's cool. You're going to put an air tag on them.

Follow them around. I don't care. $2,000. Let's go. That's from WFLA. So three of us are taking the money and Amy's not. Well, I mean, now y'all are talking me into taking the money. Too late.

I did not like it. It was one of my most anticipated movies of the summer. At two and a half hours, I fell asleep. Wow. Jurassic World Dominion. So what's the difference in this and the others?
