There's a big meeting in our office today.
What do you mean?
All hands meeting.
What does that mean?
I didn't know about it either,
but we're working from my house today
because I have stuff I have to do
right after the show and it's closer to my house.
So I know about the meeting
and they're like, everybody needs to be at this place.
It's like 10.30.
and we just finished our show
so we're not
hasn't happened yet but scuba Steve's like I'll go represent
the show I don't know what's going to happen
I don't know what's going to happen
Scuba Steve are you there
are you there? Hello?
Yes I'm here
Is this something a late night message
you got? No
I got it yesterday I believe it's
because we have some changing of the guard
within the local cluster
and so they're just going to go over
I think talk about strategy and sales and
Oh, it's not.
And see how we're doing.
It's not a bad one.
Probably five more people.
It's not,
but it's really,
you're just making a joke.
Yeah,
I'm just kidding.
Yeah,
you know,
not a funny joke.
Not a funny one.
I'm often,
I'm often for jokes.
Yeah.
Yeah,
it's a bad one.
That one didn't hit, huh?
No,
no, no.
Last time.
He's laughing, though.
He likes it.
If it happens,
it happens,
it happens his life.
So, yeah,
I guess he'll report to us
what's happened.
Okay.
But yeah,
everybody in the building
has to go to one of those.
All right, let's go around the room.
Nah, I don't know.
Mine's so light.
Okay.
All right, I'm, we build trust.
This is more for you and Eddie and lunchbox.
I think maybe Morgan, I don't know.
Y'all like pickles, right?
Love pickles.
Big pickle guy.
Love a pickle.
Put it in a hole.
I don't love pickles.
And why?
Because, you know.
No, it wasn't too many.
I had one of the big ones.
when I was in the pep squad.
It was too big.
And for whatever reason, it made me sick.
And when we were driving home,
my mom had to pull over and I got sick on the side of the road.
And I was just not into pickles.
However, I will say I had some dill flavored chips the other day.
Those are good?
So good.
Oh, you can do those?
I can do a dill flavored chip, yeah.
Growth.
Try a pickle.
Hey, can we get a pickle next week?
I think Amy can eat one in the studio and not be sick by it.
Come on, Amy.
But I don't want to eat it.
You could do it.
I know, but we never want to grow because growth is uncomfortable.
Okay.
But you don't, like you don't want to eat mayonnaise, so I'm not going to make you eat mayonnaise.
I have, it's tough to admit this.
What?
Dabbled in aoli.
Oh, that's mayo based.
Is it?
Isn't it?
With a little garlic?
I really don't know because I didn't know what aioly was.
All I know is anything that's white that doesn't have dairy in it.
I'll try because I'm looking for any flavor.
I'm looking for any dip.
So I'm like aoli
Hmm
Not for me I don't think
Let me give it a try
And I think there's some like mayo elements to it
Mike hit me
We got mayonnaise garlic and lemon juice
If I can do aoli you can do a pickle
Okay
I'll give it a try
We believe in you Amy
What kind of pickle?
A big fat Vlasic
Okay well so
So here's that a thing still
Here's my story
Hey Scobe can we get a big fat Vlasic
On like Tuesday or Wednesday's show next week
And have Amy eat a pickle
Oh, I can get you a fat pickle. Yeah, right now.
Okay.
We're not even the same room.
There's two jokes.
Scoop is over two today.
No, I'm saying,
I'm saying,
grab a pickle right now.
Is Amy there in the building?
I know, but she,
so we're just going to hold it for three to four days.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, pickles don't go bad.
They're in jars.
They last for a long period.
Oh, for two.
Hey, he wasn't joking.
Okay.
I'm just being serious.
I don't think he was working on his computer
is what I think was happening.
Amy, go ahead.
So Smoothie King is partnering with
Grillo's Pickles for a limited edition pickle smoothie.
I bet you it's probably good even though it seems disgusting.
It blends Grillo's pickles with ingredients like bananas, kale, and coconut water.
And it seems too green for me.
My wife likes green smoothies.
I hate green smoothies because there's not enough fruit.
I like my stuff sweet.
But I bet you if you're a green smoothie person, that's pretty good.
Cale though makes it green.
The bananas will help balance it out.
In the coconut water.
I need berries.
No,
coconut water doesn't balance.
It just hydrates.
No, it's sweet.
No, it's sweet.
Yes, it is.
It is.
Pepsi.
Coconut water is not sweet.
Coconut water is not sweet.
I drink coconut water on the reg.
It ain't that sweet.
I had coconut water this morning.
Maybe it's because your taste buds are so green that it's sweeter than what you normally have.
No, I just think coconut water has a sweetness to it.
It also has sugar.
Google, Mike.
How many grams of sugar are coconut water?
Natural sugar from the coconut water.
Exactly.
Yeah. We'll have to agree to disagree. We shall.
So they're doing a pickle smoothie? Yeah. So if you're into pickles, then you might want to try this smoothie king collab. And what did y'all put on your pickle snow cones?
Oh, that was a strawberry snow cone. With pickle juice and little pickles in it. No, but you would put that tahine or.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, pepper. Yeah. Chili powder. So I bet with this, like a little chili powder in there.
You got to do the strawberry, though, if you're going to do chili powder with the pickle. Otherwise you just, you just,
drinking a green smoothie with pickle.
But that snow cone you could do it with any flavor.
For us, it was the strawberry.
But I think that was their main.
Was it?
That was their base.
Their base, because I would have never tried that.
It's so good, man.
It didn't sound good, but it was so good.
It was so good.
See, that was easy, fun story.
Good for you.
Lighthearted.
Good times.
Good times.
Because I had options.
I know.
I bet you did.
I know.
Lunchbox.
Yeah, we're back.
Cardi B is back.
He's back on his beat, guys.
Yeah, there was a video of her arguing with her baby daddy, Stefan Diggs outside of a coffee shop in Maryland.
She was heard cursing at him, yelling.
And she responded and said, look, I sometimes forget I'm famous.
And I was just hangary.
So it got a little bit blown out of proportion.
Everybody relax.
They're not getting back together.
They were just, you know, I guess meeting up, talking about kid.
I don't know.
Maybe he was seeing the kid.
But she said, look, I was hangary.
Have you never yelled at your baby dad?
when you're hangary?
I have not.
I have not.
Especially not in public.
Yeah.
There's no way she forget she's famous.
I bet you do sometimes.
I bet you don't.
Really?
I am not famous.
I'm slightly known and I am always aware
that anything I do in public
could be recorded
and I could be highlighted as the idiot I am
if I idiot in public.
Yeah.
I said it's made no sense, but you get it.
I get what you're smart.
You think about that stuff.
People that kind of just like live their life,
like whatever.
But she's really,
famous, wildly famous, where
everywhere she goes, people look.
That doesn't happen to me. People look
sometimes and they'll go look at, oh,
who is? Do I know him? Or they'll be like,
hey, I'm a fan or they'll record, but it's not like that.
Like, everywhere she goes, she's probably reminded
how famous she is. I don't believe that.
I think she probably got in a fight
but didn't care. But if you're that famous, you know.
And then how mad to be yelling at a coffee shop?
Publicly, I know. But I guess you're probably not meeting them
if it's not in public, if you have a bad relationship,
a strained relationship based on what had happened with them at the Super Bowl.
Remember that crap?
Yeah.
Well, welcome back, Cardi B.
Yeah, good to see her.
Welcome back to the fold.
Eddie.
Man, this is crazy.
So this is back to my hometown, McCall in Texas.
A couple, a married couple got arrested for throwing a party for their kids after prom.
There must have been like 30 kids there and they were serving.
alcohol, cops got called
by a neighbor, said that you might want to check
this house out. Looks like minors are drinking.
Cops show up. The parents are there.
The parents are the ones that bought all the alcohol.
So, 22 minors got
MIPs. Is that what that is?
Minor in possession. And then the parents
got arrested. I'm torn.
Can't do that
by law. If kids are
abs... Excuse me. I think I'm drunk this morning.
If kids are absolutely
going to drink, would you
rather them drink in an area that has physical boundaries,
they cannot drive with people overseeing the kids?
That's the question, right?
Illegally, no.
But unless they're so loud,
unless they're out in the yard,
peeing or breaking stuff,
why would you call and tell?
Maybe they were being disruptive.
Maybe.
But like if a neighborhood's normally quiet
and then there's just a rager going on,
you're going to call the cops regardless.
If it wasn't Super Rager and you knew what was going on,
I would hope the neighbors wouldn't call because I feel like that's a responsible parent.
How old were the kids?
They were in high school.
Man, I just feel like that's a responsible parent because those kids are going to drink anyway.
Can we agree to that?
They're going to go somewhere and drink.
Yeah, but this has been a question for parents.
I agree.
It's old as time.
I'm not right.
I'm not saying I'm right.
A lot of parents juggle this.
Well, they're going to do it anyway and it's like, I don't know.
Did your parents, Amy, like ever allow you guys to drink at the house?
My dad, yes. One of them. My mom, no. Because like my parents didn't, but there were so many parents that were cool with it. Oh, yeah, so many. Like, I can name, I can name the houses right now.
I remember our party after prom was at somebody's house. Their parents were there. We all got wasted. It was awesome. Did anybody drive away?
No. Did we all stay there? Was it part of the deal that you could drink if you stayed in?
So some parents would collect keys and would be really strict about it.
And then others did not.
So I would like to say the parents that are only wanting to be cool, I don't co-sign that.
The parents that are going, I'm going to make a decision based on my children and what I know about them and their friends.
They're going to find a way to drink anyway.
So we're going to do it.
There are physical boundaries.
You cannot walk out of these boundaries.
I have your keys.
You do it.
We'll protect you.
I don't mind that.
And this is for somebody who's never drank.
I feel like we're mitigating some of the death risk for kids
and we're mitigating some of the death risk for people
that are out driving on the road that don't know
their drunk kids driving at them that could crash into them.
Right. I mean, these days, a lot of parents, though,
I mean, I don't know.
I'm like Eddie where I know there were so many houses
that allowed that when I was in high school.
But now with lawsuits...
No way.
It's very different.
Like, which maybe they were happening back then,
I don't know, or they just ramped up.
But like, it's scary.
to even want to be the house that's trying to be responsible.
Yeah.
Because if one accident goes wrong, so maybe you take their keys,
but is there, do you have a body of water?
Do you have a, like, on your property?
Because some people have ranches or farms and they've got lakes,
or they have a pool or they have.
Don't let us.
I agree.
What you're saying makes a lot of sense.
But an accident happens and then you're held liable.
I've just heard of horror stories of like,
oh, man, they were trying to give the kids a safe place to hang.
And then the kid fell in the water and then died.
and then now the parents are in a lawsuit.
I would think that is very, very, very rare.
Very rare, but it's just something you have to consider
if you're going to be the host of the event like that.
I just say it's not worth being the host ever.
But what about if your kids went to a thing
where a parent was locking them in and they were drinking?
You also can say no.
Do you have any bodies of water?
I'm not right on this.
I just feel like that's my feeling.
I would rather, again, I'll use the word mitigate,
the risk of anybody dying or killing somebody
because kids are going to do stupid things regardless
because they're kids.
And you can hold a blind eye to it,
but just because you're going,
don't see it, probably not happening,
does not mean it's not happening.
When I think back on the houses that it did allow it and the parents,
it's like 50-50 of like some of the kids,
it made them really responsible with alcohol.
And like they didn't see it as this crazy deal,
when they went off to college, they weren't wild and crazy about it.
Because their parents just kind of low-key, like,
allowed them to have a cocktail at dinner or...
European culture, way less alcoholism, way less strong driving.
If you're 18 with your parents and you go, yes, to another country
or somewhere you can order a drink at 18.
So you let them try sips of things,
and it's not just this taboo situation.
But then when I think of some of the other kids,
like, they were pretty messed up.
They're still going hard.
Those are the houses where maybe the parents just didn't really care and they were drinking too.
And alcohol was problematic in their family.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because, and it's sort of 50-50.
Like some of those kids, like I said, no problem with alcohol, totally handled it well.
And it was probably good for them that it was integrated into their life the way it was.
And then others are a hot mess.
There's also a genetic element.
That's what I mean.
In that as well.
So it doesn't matter really what the parent situation is.
Even if everything was controlled in a perfect environment, they're still probably going to have
trouble with it. That's what I mean. When I'm thinking back on those kids and how they turned out,
I'm like, well, wait a second, their parents were literally like drinking with us, you know, and a little
not as responsible. And they probably themselves had an issue and then their kids passed on to their
kids. I don't co-sign the cool parents that just want to hang and let the kids drink with them.
Yeah. That's not for me. I'm saying I would be okay with a safe space. If you felt there was going
to be drinking to eliminate the risk of them killing somebody or somebody.
or killing themselves
because if they're leaving
and drinking and driving,
I'm okay with that.
It'd be hard for me to say no to that
because I feel like that
it's a bit of a compromise.
It's illegal.
So I'd like to also say that.
Yes, that's the main thing.
It's illegal.
All right, let's see.
That was lunchboxes.
Have we done Eddie?
That was me.
You guys always get,
everybody starts talking
and I forget who does what.
So forgive me.
Lunchbox at Cardi B.
That's right.
Yeah.
Amy, I got a couple.
This one is for you.
Okay.
It's about antivirus.
Al Roker said on the today show that the CDC has travelers returning from his flight to voluntary test for hantavirus after flying home from his daughter's wedding.
Yeah?
Why is this for me?
Well, you're obsessed with the hantavirus?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I'm like, well.
And if they're asking random people to voluntarily test.
Well, so then if they do, did they have to go to the, where they have to, what's the confinement place?
The quarantine place?
Only if it's positive.
The national quarantine unit.
Only if it's positive.
Where was this party?
Like, where are they coming from?
A wedding.
Wedding.
In France.
Oh, France.
Okay.
So that's what I've been intrigued by is, I think we're going to be okay.
But like the people that are quarantined, I can't decide if it's like awesome for them or not.
I mean, I'm sure it's a little scary, but.
No, none, none awesome.
Oh.
I mean, when I was.
quarantine of COVID. That's kind of fun, dude.
That's because that was early. You knew you weren't going to die.
And I was in my bedroom. I can think of 10 moms right now that would be like a national
quarantine unit. I get to stay in my room for how many days. And there's a, there's a Peloton bike,
a TV. If you have a hauntavirus, you're going to die most likely. 50%. Okay, then I'm not
playing that. Some of the people quarantined, I guess they don't know if they. Yeah. And if you do,
it pops positive when you're quarantining. Okay, you're right. I get it. They risk of death.
I know. I don't want to make a lot of a serious situation.
I'm just saying.
You just said, ride a Peloton.
Well, the guy I saw in Corteen, Jake,
he has a stationary bike in his room.
That sounds fun.
It's pretty good, yeah.
You make a good point.
Symptoms.
Symptoms.
It's a respiratory.
Respiratory.
Oh, gosh.
Lungs filled with water.
Oh, with water.
Die.
He's like you're drowning.
There's other.
Yes, there's other symptoms with it.
But if there are people,
are there people that survive it?
Yes.
I think it's like a 30 to 50%
was what I've read.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Is it 30?
30 to 50%?
What's the 30, death or live?
No, death.
It's all death.
30 to 50.
But there's a 3 in 10 chance.
Hey, Eddie.
No, no, we're not playing this.
What are you going to roll a dice?
Are you drawing a pizza?
No, pick a number.
Out of what?
I'm going to write three numbers down.
And you said out of 30, so out of 10?
So all you have to do is guess one number.
But if you, there's three of these here.
If you hit one of the numbers, you die.
Any number.
One number, one through 10.
Go.
Oh, God.
But if you pick one to the three I have here, you died.
It's 30%.
Okay.
So I just get one shot.
One shot.
Eight.
You lived.
Yes.
Did you see my numbers?
Uh-huh.
Lunchbox pick a number.
Eight.
That's smart.
That's the exact one to do.
That's right.
You're so smart.
That's smart.
I wouldn't have done that.
I wouldn't have done that.
Not going to lie.
Good job.
My numbers were two, six and one.
Oh, wow.
My second would have been three.
But you don't want to have to do that.
Right.
No.
Three and six chance.
It's not fun.
Our three and ten chance.
Um, okay.
So that was the first.
Another story is nearly half of Americans are lacking fun in their lives.
Is there a fun drought in your life?
Um, I could probably use a little more fun.
Oh, that's sad.
It is sad, but I mean, it's real though, dude.
It's real.
I could use more fun.
I don't really do anything fun.
Yeah, I could use a little more fun.
Like I'm, I enjoy some things that I do.
Like, I enjoy my job, but it's not fun.
It's more fun than other jobs.
Yeah, I don't hate it.
I enjoy my job, but I don't go,
whoa, this is gonna be, I can't wait.
It's gonna be crazy fun.
I could use a little more fun.
Right now, weird time, baby,
but I'm just not a fun guy anyway.
Yeah, I'm trying to think of like,
there's anything on my calendar
where I'm like, cannot wait for that.
Don't have it yet.
Nope.
Yeah, I don't either.
Like, I don't even know what I'm due for vacation.
Same.
And it's stressing me out.
Because I don't want another year to go by
where I just don't do anything.
What are you going to say?
And you have what?
Same.
I have a baby.
Oh,
you have a baby.
So we're just kind of like,
well,
we don't know.
Like,
we travel with her yet.
It's new.
So we don't know.
Whatever the doctor says,
right?
I mean, yeah.
Yeah, you can.
We're just thinking,
do we want to travel with her?
Where do we want to go?
Yeah.
We'll do something.
But yeah, same.
Just different.
Fun?
No, dude.
Drought, for sure.
And I told you that even if I did
have like a vacation thing plan, I'd be like, it's just going to be five days. And then I'm going to
come back to everyday life. And it's not like, like you said, the job's great. I think this is your,
this is your low tea though. You think so? Yeah, because you're, I get it. I get it. Because I tried to
create fun guys. Like I have the karaoke machine. I try to get it going. And then some kid punches another
kid. And it's like. In your house. Yes. And now you ruin the fun, guys. Like,
and then it's like, why did you do that?
and then do 10 push-ups.
I don't want to do 10 push-ups.
Then the whole night's ruined.
Lunchbox, do you think fun?
I love fun, man.
I got a lot of fun in my life.
I mean, my life is nothing but fun.
What's fun?
I mean, I get to nap,
soccer,
golf,
neighborhood parties.
I mean,
everything.
Sports.
Kids sports.
He's living a lot of fun.
Yeah,
you love with the dream.
Yeah, good for you, man.
Hey,
So on the podcast version of this,
you're going to hear a couple things.
I think we'll do Ashley McBride.
She was awesome today,
and you'll hear me talk about her performance.
You won't hear the performance.
You have to go to YouTube to watch it.
There's that.
I did a, we'll call it,
I don't want to say inside baseball,
but in the weeds Q&A that we're putting on here,
that you'll hear that.
And I think...
In the weeds of what?
In the weeds of like dad life or work life?
No.
Me like work life.
Okay.
Because people are asking,
it's specific, like really specific work questions
that nobody cares about to talk about here.
But I did like 15 minutes of it and people really liked it.
They were like, oh, I had no idea that that was a part.
Maybe you should listen to it sometime.
I'll check it out.
Yeah, there you go.
Hang around.
We'll just play in your ears.
Okay.
And we'll watch you listen to it.
Yeah.
On the Bobby Bones show now.
Ashley McBride.
Ashley, good to see you again, as always.
Oh, it's good to see you.
How are you feeling?
Are you okay?
you rested? Yeah. I'm good. Isn't it wonderful? Yeah. Those onesies that you got, our daughter,
are so funny. They're so funny. The tattoos. Yes. And she just grew out of them now, but she definitely
wore them and people thought they were, they were like, where did you get the tattooed? I was like,
no, those are actually McBride onesies. So my wife, super thankful. We got many good laughs.
They were so cute. Yeah, there's good. So thank you for asking about me. This is not about me,
though. It's about you. It's okay. It's okay. I understand. I want to make something else about me then.
Is that okay?
Okay, yes.
I'd like to have, if it's okay with you, you'd have name a drink after me at your bar.
Sure.
I got some ideas.
Okay.
So Ashley has an N-A bar in Chiefs.
Mm-hmm.
How about, I got a couple things here.
Number one, the Pina Boneslata.
Okay, doesn't work for her.
Okay.
Feels a little.
Risky.
I don't know that.
I can see where you're going.
Okay.
Peanut.
Well, then what, the bony colada?
Mm.
Because I don't, I'm always looking for like.
In a drink, everywhere I go.
Right.
All right.
How about the bone dry margarita?
Bone dry.
Bone dry is great.
You could do a bone dry martini, a bone dry margarita.
How about the self-deprecating dacry?
Self-deprecating dacry.
Bobby self-deprecating dachia.
That's perfect.
Just think about that.
The way humor comes in the glass.
The mint bonehito.
Hey, I actually like that.
That's awesome, dude.
I like that one.
You guys like, that was terrible.
That was the worst one.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's my worst one.
Okay, enough about me.
I'm a massive fan of yours.
I was so happy to see that people were loving your record.
I was watching you talk about, too.
Did you not get to be part of the album release?
Were you just on the road, or what?
Just doing work, just all of the work,
the whole parade that goes,
all of the months leading up to that,
which is 12 of those.
It took a year to do the album.
And we did the album,
and then we just got to have to sit with it for a year.
So we have songs that we want to play,
you know, that we can't play out yet.
and then all of the press and the media
and we do the Tonight Show
and we do Kelly Clark's line
we do all the things so I'm in a plane
we're not in the bus
plus we're doing a couple shows here and there
but we can't play the new record yet because it's not out
and so all of everything just kind of feels
like a holding pattern
even though you're doing what you love
you can't do the new record yet
so on release day I had a full day
of press and media
and then I was I had just gotten back
from London so I was still pretty
jet lagged and I couldn't really figure out like how do
the microwave. Like, just very confused, exhausted body. And I guess I seemed sad. Who said to you
were sad? People online? Or your friends? My friends were like, are you okay? And I was like, I'm fine.
Which, of course, I was like, oh, I know I'm sad because I want to be with the guys. I want to be
with Dana and Blakely and I want to be with our crew. And even though I'm out here keeping
the road hot and keeping the skies hot, we're not out here doing it all.
together a lot of the time. So I want them to feel like they're being celebrated. We made an
amazing record that I'm really proud of and we deserve to drink mocktails and have a cake and have
that acknowledged, you know, one, one to another, hey, look what we did. And you weren't feeling
I guess I was sad, yeah. Have you got to like do it now with them? Yeah, being all together
and just hugging. And it was true us fashion. Dana brought a cake and we couldn't find forks
or plates, but we found a bunch of knives.
So we just cut it into little pieces and stabbed it and people would walk by.
We're just like eating it with a knife.
That was a very, very us thing to do.
Before you play and you have your guitar, I want to play What If We Don't.
Yeah, that'd be great.
Would you kind of give me the story because I know you're one of the writers on the song?
Yes.
So would you tell me about the song?
It has to do with that.
What if we don't is the moment of right before you make a decision.
and it's not an easy one.
This is a, do I leave the friend zone, or are we safer here?
And in that little bitty moment, anything could happen.
Because after that moment, you're going to have to live with the, I did take the chance
or the I didn't take the chance for the rest of time.
And you may ruin that friendship by taking the chance,
and you may ruin your chances by not taking it.
So it is the possibility that anything could happen, that we might regret how far we let it go, but what if we don't?
And it just so happens that a few years after this song was written, might have been within the same year.
Oh, it was four years later.
I got in the situation.
So, you know, there's Randall Clay, Terry Joe Box, and I wrote this song, and we pulled from all areas of our lives.
And then later, the question would be asked to me, and I would say no.
And then that ended in tragedy.
That ended in, it's not like somebody sped away in a car and met their end right then.
It was the next day.
I mean, it was just a complete freak accident.
But that right there really drove the song home in me because I didn't.
And there's no way to know.
There's no way to know if that would have ruined everything or if it would have been
Right? There's just no way to know.
How long did it take you to write this song?
Let's see. Out on Terry Joe's patio, we probably spent four hours on it.
And you wrote it that long ago and you held it because it fit this project?
Yes. It was one of the songs that we kept it in the live show and it's tried different iterations.
We've tried having it more keys driven. We've tried having it more guitar driven. We've tried doing this groove or that group.
We never got it exactly right.
Then while we were on the road, we're on the leather deluxe tour with Cody.
And we were trying out Rattlesnake in front of his audiences and getting it to where it needed to be.
And we brought what if we don't back to see what it would do to an audience that's not inherently ours.
You know, we're exposing our music to his fans.
So with no frame of reference, what does this song do to a crowd?
and it moves.
And I was like, I knew it. It's a hit.
We have to cut this. We have to cut it. We have to go.
It doesn't have to be a new song to be the song that belongs on this record.
It was one of the first songs I chose for record five.
It was right up there with rattlesnake and water in the river.
Why would you even think to pull this song?
Because, again, you've written so many songs.
Four or five years, I'd imagine you'd written 100 songs.
I'm just throwing a number out there.
Oh, yeah.
What about this song, though, just kept making it like pop back up to play to try?
because you have so many songs you can do that with.
The Rudy effect.
You know, the Rudy.
You're like, I know this song can.
I know it can.
I know it can move.
I know it can move us as we play it.
I know it can move audiences.
It's not a love song.
It's not a cheating song.
It's none of the easy ammo.
It's a what if song.
And I know that it didn't get its chance.
And if you'll just give it its chance,
then everybody will be rooting for it.
We're going to play it now.
I love her doing all the work there
All the heavy lifting for this song was done
Ashley McBride is in studio
She's going to play in just a second
But let's play that now here on the Bobby Bone Show
Here is, What If We Don't?
On the Bobby Bone Show now
Ashley McBride
When you put out a new record Ashley
Do you get on at like 1205
To see what people are saying
Or will you give it the next day?
Oh, I cover my eyes for at least 24 hours
Because this is a record
That I've made with my guys
and I'm so proud of it.
And shame on me if I let anything taint that,
at least for 24 hours.
I am proud of this record.
That's what I need to know.
Jono is proud of this record.
My band is proud of this record.
My team is proud of this record.
And what Carol thinks about.
It's none of my business.
Classic Carol.
Always jumping in with her opinions.
Here she is with her box wine.
Classic Carol.
I would love for you to play Arkansas Mud.
Yeah.
Would you do that?
I would do it.
Ashley and I are both from Arkansas,
because you wonder.
Yeah, got it.
Makes sense.
Turns out this song's incredibly hard to play
without a band because there's so much
like double time, half time, but that's okay.
I have a bell.
Foot tambourines exist.
Oh, okay. You're good though.
We found it. Look at this. I mean, that's...
She has a tambourine...
Strapped to her boot. That is correct.
Sorry, I just hit the mic.
Okay, so I want to tell everybody what we're doing here.
So she has taken a microphone
and built a very small stand going right over the top of her foot.
And now she has a bell taped, strapped to her foot.
And then she's doing all this herself.
What I think of is, you know that old thing of the one-man band?
Yes.
Ashley's the one-man band.
Oh my gosh, if we can get symbols for my knees, we have made it.
All right, I'm going to be quiet.
Now, here she is.
Ashley McBride with Arkansas Mud.
Oh, I'm sorry.
We can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page,
you can watch it there or maybe listen live.
Okay?
All right.
Now back to the podcast.
Yes.
There it is.
Absolutely.
Man, that is awesome.
You're awesome.
I love how the east.
string was just like, well, sometimes I'm also very sharp while you're banging on me.
You know, not a single one of us heard that.
No.
I'm going to remove the tambourium from my foot for our safety.
That's funny.
Every time she answers or gets passionate, you hear her ching-ch-ch-ching.

In the moment, it felt like it was going on forever. I didn't think I was going to live. I was
terrified. There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It's scared. It's scary.
the hell out of me.
That was your first murder case?
Yes, sir.
Fear to say this was the biggest case of your career?
Yes, sir.
Rape and murder for a child.
Just as bad as it gets.
I would think so.
Evil, wake up.
I'm the one that saw the murder take place
by Crevent and DePippo.
Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse,
appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.
I said, I'm not guilty. I'll take it to the grave.

You're announcing the new tour.
So you're the end of the wild tour.
Yes.
So when you do your shows, I feel like you're like such a sophisticated thinker and writer.
where do you do
the songs that casuals know?
The accidental
fans, like casual fans.
Where do we put those?
If it's like, well, no, if it's like someone's like,
I know the song about the room key.
Now I'm going to go watch Ashley McBride.
Where do you put those songs?
That needs to be in the first three.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
You hit it hard at the very beginning.
Well, it needs to be something familiar.
So we usually, we start with a statement
and whatever that statement is.
And I like the statement to be, you've arrived.
And that's usually very loud.
So you want to come hard and loud.
Right.
That way, if you weren't in your seat, that's not my fault.
But then a couple songs in, especially if they're like,
is this the girl that leaves lights on all the time in her house,
especially where food is prepared?
You want to make sure that they recognize,
especially if we were to start the show with Blackout Betty or Arkansas Mud,
you're like, I think I came to a different show.
because there's such a diversity in what we're really good at.
And country music has such a diverse range of what that is.
So if we hit it hard at the beginning with a rock song,
I do want to give you a mid-tempo that you're super familiar with in the first three or four.
Did you ever want to be a preacher?
I wanted to make sure that that never, ever happened.
That you were never a preacher?
That it could never be confused as anything.
even close to it. But, and in fact, when I was, when I went away and there was a spiritual counselor
there where I went, and she said, one of these days, you're going to walk back into a church
and you're going to share your story. And I said, only if you're in attendance, darling,
you know, that kind of thing. But back in the day, North Little Rock, Arkansas, a bar called
Reno's Argenta, Main Street. This guy had come in. He's in like painters' clothes.
like Carpenter's pants.
That's what they look like.
You could hang tools on them.
And it was all one color, kind of cream.
It was kind of stain, paint, all over it.
He came in and he was like, hey, what time do you start, sweetheart?
And I was like, in 20 minutes, he handed me a $100 bill.
And he said, start right now.
And I said, it's no problem.
No problem.
I'll just be dang.
It's 10 o'clock.
And throughout the show, he kept coming back to the tip jar, which was the red gas can.
And he would say things.
We're starving for you.
Where have you been?
you know you're supposed to be here. And then he bought the whole bar round of shots. When he did that,
I said, hey, I would like to tell the people in attendance tonight who to thank for their whiskey.
And he said, it doesn't come from me. It comes from the Lord. And I said, okay, congratulations,
everybody. You can thank Jesus for your fireball. And just being very, you know, irreverent and very
casual about it. On my break, four hour set. On my break, he came up and he said, would you let me pray
with you right now. I don't know this man. He's probably almost 60. And I was raised in the, in the church.
And I absolutely, if my, if your amen has my name next to it, then that I could use that help.
Whatever that is, that's putting that on your heart. That's a real thing. And so I put my hands in
his and I said, of course. He said, did you know God chose you? And I said, yes, I do. I know God
chose me. And he said, no, not as the entertainer. You're the action. You're the accent.
I was an incidental preacher. And I said, well, I hope not. And we prayed together and I finished the show. And I never saw him again. But by the end of the show, he had put 15 of those $100 bills in the gas can. And this was at a time that I had to choose between making rent and buying groceries. I had to save money to get reflux medication because it was $60 a bottle and I couldn't afford it. I had two things in my fridge. I had a jug of powder like,
Gatorade and I had a six-pack of PBR in bottles.
And that was because I dog sat for someone.
This, I had nothing.
So the whole, when he said that, all of that happening around each other,
me saying, I hope I could never be confused for that is, is not a completely accurate
statement.
Because what he said to me that night was really important.
And I don't go around preaching about sobriety and I don't go around preaching about
preaching and I want everyone to feel like they belong and like it's okay to be anywhere I am
no matter who you are. And if that were to be confused with establishing a message, then I would
be okay with that. Do you ever feel like you weren't supposed to be around places you were in?
Did people make you feel that way? Oh yes. I've been in some really interesting situations.
I never really took into consideration
how small 5-3 is
because I'm larger than life.
You know, I would have bet you're way taller than that
because you're larger than life.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I have a big mouth.
And I have a big energy.
And I've talked myself out of as many fights
as I've nearly talked myself into.
And by saying things like, you can hit me,
but you're going to hate the way I take a punch.
But I got in a truck one night in my truck.
I had loaded up my gear.
It was after the bouncers had taken the trash out.
So big mistake.
I should have been gone by then.
All my gears in there, there's nobody in this gravel parking lot.
And I went to go close the door of my tundra.
And a big, big drunk guy was between the door and the frame.
Now I know what size 5'3 is.
And he's hammered.
So it does not matter how hard I push.
or if I hit him square in the nose,
none of this is going to phase this guy,
and I'm not pulling this door closed.
Unless he says I get to,
and that'll piss me off.
Unless who says?
But that's why I keep a taser in the cup holder.
It works every time.
Have you ready?
Every time at one of one times.
Oh, okay.
One of one times.
And I hope he's still in that parking lot.
you had to use it then that's the time you used it yeah yeah yeah i just grabbed it and stuck it in his thigh
because that's what what's funny is when i bought it we went to like a show like a a weapons show
like you do at one of like at the whatever center in conwire whatever and i got you know i was like
a cute little taser thing and it was just still in my cup holder so you didn't like practice like
grabbing just no i usually practice like situational awareness yeah i keep um i don't know what the
actual name of that is they are collapsible they are metal i think they're an asp asp maybe they're
called and they're illegal in some places so you got to know like i keep like a stick yeah like a billy club
but they they extend oh okay and so i've always kept ways because i was by myself yeah just me and my
truck and sometimes my dog so i've always kept ways to keep myself safe with that we literally
bought as a joke and i was happy to have it dang that's crazy it's not going to hurt the dude
but it's going to change his mind.
It's going to hurt him. It's not going to injure him.
Right.
Yeah.
Right. Nothing that cannot be quickly recovered from.
Dang. When you put this record out, what did you not expect to get from people that you got from people?
Ooh.
Maybe I expected a little pushback on the bottle tells me so.
Why?
Because I've made it a point to not soap box about not.
drinking. And so I tried to be really careful there that that isn't preaching and it isn't soapboxy.
It just is a statement that there was a problem. And I think the thing that has surprised me most
right now at live shows is the number of people singing so loud during bottle tells me so.
And for some of those people that are singing, their bottle isn't a bottle. It's a something
else and you can see it, which means that there is a moment happening there with us together
that is super healing, that he in, and not in like, come here and I will lay hands on you and heal you.
It just, something hurts a little less after that song.
The album is called Wild, the tour is Into the Wild, right?
Yes, yeah, you nailed it.
Okay, so the album is out, just came out, and the tour is Into the Wild, just announced 26,
dates. You can go to Ashley Macbriad.com or to her socials. McBride with a Y. That's right. McBride
with a Y. McBride with a Y. I am such a fan. I hope this album does everything that you want it to do.
Maybe it already has. Maybe it already has. I don't know. But I'm such a fan. And thanks.
And I got so many nice messages to, you know, I have a story. We all have our stories.
But we kind of told our story together on my Netflix show. And I hear about that more than
just about anything I've done years. I get so many messages about that episode. So thank you.
Thanks for having me and thanks for having that conversation with me because it's helping, it's helping others.
I think there's a real safety in talking about something with someone who's also experienced a version of it.
Oh, absolutely.
And for me, that was the safety.
Like talking to you about my version of my story, there's safety in that because I know it's not even so much judgment.
It's just like understanding and empathy more than sympathy.
I get plenty of sympathy.
Knowing that there's space for it without any, anything around that.
Like there's room for it.
So I really appreciate it.
I appreciate you.
I thought about that for days.
after we spoke. And the more messages that I've gotten that I've just tickled and thrilled that
that it's encouraging others to talk. There she is. The wonderful bell on her boot.
Ashley McBride. Thank you. Thank you.
Hey guys, before I do the FAQs that I'm about to do here, I kept calling them FYQs because I was
getting for you page and frequently asked questions mixed up. So I'm not going to change
but every time I say that, just know one, I know I'm an idiot, and two, that's where the confusion was.
FAQ is frequently asked questions. That's what I meant.
FYP is the for you page.
Okay, here you go. Enjoy.
Bobby Bones.
Hey, everybody, we're going to do a FYQ on questions that I get that are very inside.
In the industry, we call it inside baseball, even though it's not about baseball.
But it's like way inside that I don't think most people would actually care to hear the
answers to, but I do get these questions a lot. So over the past couple of months, I've made a list
here. The first one is not super inside, but it is. What is new in your life now? I tell you what I did
today before I get to the inside stuff. This is just a little bit of life chum. We have a baby,
and we have a car seat for the baby, and today it was a big day because we actually took the
newborn insert out, and now there is no newborn insert. So the baby's getting bigger.
The craziest thing about the baby getting bigger is that her ears are getting bigger,
which is wild because her ears were always like this big.
And last night I was looking at it, I was like, her ears aren't that big anymore.
So that's what's new in my life now.
My life is dominated by baby right now.
And even like internet drama, et cetera, I don't even pay attention to it right now.
I can't.
I don't have time for it because it's just like I work all day.
and then in the afternoon
and then we go home
and we, I don't want to say
have, raise, take care of the baby
but it's crazy too because they're so small
but they're also growing so fast
that everything kind of hurts
a little bit through growing pains.
Also a great show back in the day.
So that's the quick update on life.
Now,
FYQ's, one way or another
of these questions get asked about kind of my career inside.
The question.
What's annoying to you, but you put up with it in your career?
I think the thing that's most annoying to me, and I understand the value of it, and I put up with it,
is on the Bobby Bone Show podcast feed, and for those that don't know, I've been doing a podcast
for around 20 years.
I've been doing the radio show, but I've been so dedicated to the podcast of our show,
meaning not just repurposing the radio show, which a lot of people do, but we have been so
dedicated for 20 years on supplementing it, doing different shows, podcast-friendly shows that aren't
segments from the radio show. I've been so dedicated to it. And it's why it's really large.
I think if we took the radio show off and just had the podcast, it would just be a massive
podcast. But I think people think about us as that because it's the radio show first in most
people's mind. But we have worked on that podcast so hard for so many years. And I am somebody who is a bit
OCD about I like things to be the same. In my perfect world, that podcast feed would have nothing
but Bobby Bone Show Files. Now, I don't own that feed. My company, which I love, I Heart Radio,
pays me a substantial amount of money and they own the feed. So there are things and decisions
that they make that I understand. Doesn't mean I have to like them. For example, random podcasts get put up
on that feed sometimes. The company owns it. So they go, we have a massive feed. We're going to
launch a show on your feed. Or even like some of the shows from my podcast network, they get put
on the feed. And I'm like, oh, this is driving me crazy. I like it to be clean. So that's something
that I understand. I can absolutely see the value in that to the company. Since the company owns the
because I don't own 51% of it, I own some, but not 51% of it. So they have it. That's it. That's it.
that is something that is so inside that I don't think I've ever talked about.
If it were up to me, that feed would just be the Bobby Bone Show.
So another thing about the podcast feed, oh man, we're going way inside here,
is that there was a time a few years ago into a couple years ago.
I was getting a lot of complaints that the podcast wouldn't go up until way late in the day.
if it was like 1 or 2 p.m.
So what we started to do was
we'd finish the first half of the show
and we would put the first half of the podcast,
the show up on the podcast,
then we'd put the whole thing as a second file
and then we would do a second show.
So now there are three files up there.
I didn't like to duplicate part of the show,
which is what was happening,
but we wanted to get something up early.
Where that got me in trouble was,
and we stopped doing that after about a year and a half,
is that because I work for a corporate,
You can't actually have less than you did the year before, streams, ads, revenue.
So when I stopped doing that first half of the show goes up and the whole show goes up,
and then there was a third file, I still had to have three files up there.
And then we just went one show, it was just two files for like a year, and it looked like the
podcast numbers had dropped off significantly, even though each episode was doing better,
we used to have three files up there that they'd be able to sell ads on. And so it looked to the
company like our podcast was trending way down. So now what we do is we do basically a 50-minute
show that's live on the radio. We do a 50-minute to an hour, second show that's just podcast,
and then we super extend or tell me something good segment, which I think is my favorite thing
that we do, and that's usually around 25 minutes to 30 minutes. And people would go, well, why don't you
make that a whole just two and a half hour clip every day because then it would only get the
number of streams for the one file and the company would be like you're going way down.
But that's why that's like that on the feed. I kind of walk myself into a trap there when I was
trying to do the early part of the show and the late part of the show. So that's up. That's so,
again, that's inside baseball. Another one is something you hate doing for work that you never talk
about. The thing for me that's most awkward, the thing that comes to my mind first is I hate asking
people to collab on Instagram posts because I feel like I'm begging. And so if someone does the
Bobbycast or the Bobbyvone show and on Instagram you can tag somebody or you can invite to
collab, I always feel weird about inviting to collab because I'm going to think that they think
I expect them to also push this through to their feed.
And like I tell my guys, like, we'll do it once.
Or if they want to, a lot of times they want to,
because my feed has 1.2 million followers.
And so I'm going to put it on mine,
and we shoot it really high quality.
So sometimes they want it,
and we'll talk to them ahead of time.
But if they don't want it,
I just feel really awkward about asking people to collab
on Instagram posts.
So we'll usually do or ask for one,
I haven't even been doing that recently.
Like, unless they don't ask, I don't do it,
because that feels weird.
So that's what I hate doing
because I just don't want people,
I don't know, but that kind of is gross to me.
Another one is,
do you like talking about Dancing with the Stars?
I don't mind it.
I think I do it in pocket.
Sometimes I love it if somebody has an experience
that's similar and they did the show as well.
That's fun for me because I like to hear other people's experiences.
There are three, four, five,
six months at a time where I don't talk about it. And I think I went for a couple years really without
talking about it at all. But then I just kept getting brought back into the mix over and over again.
And it was never positive. And then it was, well, if I'm going to take all of this for negative,
I should at least be able to use some of this content for myself. So I don't mind talking about it.
Sometimes people are shocked by it. And then that's kind of fun. If they're like, you were on that
show and I'm like, yeah, I want it. And they're like, oh, my God, that's fun. But I kind of feel like,
that's like my body like a backroad.
Like I'll talk about it the rest of my life.
Even if I really don't want to, I don't mind doing it.
I don't lead with it.
But a lot of times,
especially if it's people who don't know anything about country music
or anything about what I do or books or...
That's the thing that goes first in a headline
for somebody who knows nothing about me,
a headline that I don't write.
So they'll go, Dancing with the Stars Champion,
and they don't want to ask about that.
So, yeah, I don't mind talking about it.
sometimes I love talking about it, but I don't normally bring it up out of nowhere unless I think
it's going to get me to a place where whomever I'm talking to is either going to give me something
or it makes us comfortable. Whenever Danica McKellar was in, who was Winnie Cooper and she's written books
and she's great. She was a great guest. I knew she was on the show. I knew she had like broken a rib,
and that is something that I can talk about with her. And I know that she's going to feel comfortable.
She's going to love telling the story and it's going to allow us to get to another place because we've
been like in a conversation together. We've enjoyed it and it allows me to move around a little more.
So yeah, I like talking about it sometimes. But I know I'm going to talk about it for the rest of my
life if I like it or not. So what is the most bizarre part of your job? So if you remove the things
that I think people think the answer would be of, you know, doing a podcast on Netflix that's
watched by millions of people, eating at restaurants where people like film you and like all that's
bizarre, although I've been able to grow with that a little bit. Meaning when I'm in Hot Springs,
Arkansas, and that's where I started, 105.9 KLAZ in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nobody cared.
Small town. I just did nights. You get like two people a month that be like, hey, are you Billy Bones
on the radio? And I'd be like, oh, it made my day. Yeah. They'd be like, that's great.
no picture or anything because there were no camera phones.
And then as I went to Little Rock and had a little more notoriety,
it really started for me in Austin.
And then you start to get people want to take pictures with you,
but then people also are going to talk bad about you.
Like that part of the business starts because the higher your platform,
the more everybody's going to talk about you, period.
Some people are going to be mad you have it.
Some people are going to like that you have it.
But as the platform lifts, more people see you,
more people see you, more people have things to say. I've been able to grow with that from nobody
caring at all to a few people caring, to sometimes people care, to now, it's pretty regular that
people say hi or want to take a picture or something. Normal as can be. For my wife,
the really abnormal thing is she didn't get to grow into it. Like, so when we go to dinner and
someone's recording us, and you can always tell when someone holds their phone like this,
because most people, if I'm looking at my phone, for those that are watching, if you're listening,
I'm looking at my phone like a normal person. I'm kind of bent over. Whenever the phone comes up like
this, you don't look at your phone this way. And that's how you can know somebody's recording you.
And so if we're sitting at dinner and someone's phone pops up, like my wife doesn't like that at all.
She doesn't like to be recorded. I don't even notice anymore. But at first, I was like,
not a big deal, but I realized she didn't get to grow into that.
okay thank you they're recording me right now so that that's a bizarre part of it i think for her
but i think the weirdest weirdest part is that i if i'm anywhere i have to have security with me
and it's also not something that i talk about a whole lot because nobody cares but i've had enough
i've had more than enough instances and incidents that to my company i am a bottom line
if something were to happen to me, there would temporarily be significant revenue loss.
There is insurance on me from my company, not because they like me as a person, although a lot of them do,
but because if I were to go down, they would lose a lot of money, so there's insurance on me.
For that insurance to happen, because of all the instances that I've had with people trying to kill me,
jump me, death threats, there's security with me all the time.
And that's weird for me.
because it's just meat.
Like what's going to happen?
Now, we've had some real close calls.
And like, you know, I do an I heart festival, which we did.
My guy's with me all the time.
Everywhere I go.
In the building, I get there.
My guy's with me all the time.
So that is bizarre.
That's a bizarre thing.
I understand it.
It's like the podcast thing.
I understand why the company has to have it.
There have been enough instances where I've been almost beat up or almost died
that they want to make sure that their investment is protected.
So yeah, I think that's a bizarre part of my job
that I don't talk about often
because it feels dushy to walk around with the bodyguard.
I got a good one though.
He will F you up though, dude, seriously.
Do you know the good episodes and the bad episodes of the Bobbycast?
That's a question.
No.
Kind of.
I know the ones that I enjoy doing,
but sometimes the joy that I have in doing it
does not translate because maybe somebody's humor doesn't translate or it's not as
enjoyed as much as I enjoy it. Also, there are times I come in and I am roasted, just exhausted,
didn't get sleep, show went long, something happened, and I get in the room and I'm having,
my brain's not clicking and I finish it and I'm like, terrible. What a terrible episode that was.
It turns out it's pretty great.
People will tell me that.
There are somewhere I'm like, man, that was so much fun, nailed it.
And people are like, yeah, it's fine.
It's fine.
So I think most of the time I know when it's a good one, but I don't always know because a lot of it depends on when I get to the room how I'm feeling.
But one that I really enjoyed recently, and I don't know how it's going to be interpreted.
I haven't seen the edit or anything, was it's not out yet, by depending on when you see this.
Vanessa Carlton.
She did
Making my way
Downtown
Walking fast
Paces
Faces passes
They go by him
She did a thousand miles
Probably the biggest
song we've ever had in the room
Honestly
And we've had massive stars
But I think that's
That song's ubiquitous
It's everywhere
And so she doesn't do any press
Almost never
And she came in
Very dry sense of humor
And I just really enjoyed it
Because she also had pauses
when she answered, which made it feel a little uncomfortable at first,
so we kind of got the rhythm down.
She also was like, no BS.
She was also funny.
She was like, I play a thousand miles first,
just so I can get it over with.
Basically is what she said.
Like, I appreciated that.
Like, to me, that was an episode that I really enjoyed.
I don't know how you guys will take it.
Because she communicated a little differently
than most people do in an interview.
So a lot of times I can tell, sometimes I miss.
Sometimes I think the ones are great aren't,
and sometimes the ones I think are terrible.
end up being good. And that's mostly though if I just was exhausted going into the room,
which I really try not to be. But sometimes if we can only get them at a certain point,
we have to schedule them up against like five hours of other work. So that's some real
inside stuff. But I wanted to answer some of those because I get those same type questions all
the time. And for the eight people that will watch this, FYQ, super inside information about Bobby's
career. Thank you for watching.
All right, voicemail.
Why is Eddie so condescending to everybody?
He's not the best game player.
He just gets lucky, but he is rude and condescending.
Love the show.
Bye.
Is that the impression people are getting of you now?
I don't understand.
What am I doing that's rude and condescending?
Amy, any answer there?
I guess, does somebody have an example of him being condescending?
We need that example.
Is it during games when he wins, he gets cocky?
Well, he definitely has a little bit of that.
But he's always had that.
Yeah, that's confidence.
But you do it after.
After I win?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, give me the next one.
Years ago, Amy's cousin made a prediction about when Bobby Bones would get married,
and he didn't even know Caitlin yet.
So I wonder if that envelope was ever opened.
Just curious.
Two different things.
One, did your psychic cousin, to your best recollection, nail when I was going to get married?
I don't know.
I was so long ago.
I don't know.
Oh, there was an envelope for that one too.
Man, we love envelopes on this show.
We do.
Where's the envelope?
No, it was a bit.
Amy has a psychic cousin.
Show of hands.
Who believes Amy's cousin is psychic?
Not me.
I do.
Oh, my God.
Just Morgan.
I just think.
She has a gift.
She has a gift.
I'm going to raise my hand.
You're going to raise your hand?
I don't believe in psychics.
But I do believe that some people have the ability to read
it's a different dimension
It's tough
It's tough man
Don't raise your hand
It's tough
I know
Her level of consciousness
Goes to a place
That
Most can't get
She talks to the dead too
Yeah
Yeah
But she's had conversations
With my mom
And her mom
And other people's mom
There's somebody we work with
Actually that lives in New York
We just saw her
IHeart Country Festival
And I guess she had a thing
With my cousin
And she was like
Somebody that had passed
away in her life. She was like she was telling me things
that nobody would know. Like nobody.
And I was like, oh, that's
crazy. You talked to my cousin. I had no idea
this person even talked with her.
We can't prove Amy's cousin is lying.
We can't. Well, but this woman that
works with us, she was saying nobody would
know the stuff my cousin was saying about the person that died.
I hear you. I'm not
fine. For me as somebody who
I got to see it.
I get it.
It's tough. Are you raising your hand?
I'm halfway.
Let's go to our historian, Mike D.
What do you see over there?
She did predict the month you were going to get engaged.
Get engaged. And did I get engaged that month?
Yes, you did.
Okay, yeah, I think I do recall that now, and that was a pretty wild.
And it was way, way, way before.
Now you remember it?
Yeah, now, yes, now I do recall.
I've been sitting here thinking about the different,
because we've done a lot of different bits with her or timelines.
And there was one that never made it to air.
It wasn't about anything.
Like, she wasn't, we weren't interviewing her and she was making any sort of predictions.
It was just at my house, something you had going on in your life, Bobby.
And she told me it was going to happen.
And then it happened.
I don't remember that one.
Well, yeah, because it wasn't on air.
Did I ever know that one?
Was it kept from me?
I don't think so.
I think I probably told Caitlin, or maybe I didn't want to say anything until after because it just felt like weird.
But I already, I sort of knew.
And then you announced, you were like, yeah, this is happening.
And I was like, what?
I don't even know what it is.
I know.
I don't think you would care if I said
because it's not anything
Give it around
Okay, then don't
Then don't go
You wouldn't care
You wouldn't care
Okay, you were moving
And
But you weren't in the
You weren't moving yet
Okay
And then you moved
And it sort of didn't make sense
Because like
I didn't think that the move
Would happen
And then all of a sudden
There was conversation
Of like we're moving
And I was like
What the
So the prediction
Was about him moving?
Yeah
And I was like
No no he's not gonna move
To be fair, I've moved basically every two or three years my entire life.
Because we had to move.
Growing up, we moved everywhere.
We couldn't stay in a place for long.
No apartment, trailer, wherever.
We always had to move, got kicked out.
So when I got to be an adult, I kept moving.
Just kept moving.
But I just felt like you wouldn't leave this place because it didn't make sense because
like.
Yeah, we'd sit so long building it up.
And then you got married.
Like everything just made sense.
Like you wouldn't move.
And then she was like, no, no, they're moving.
But Amy, it would be like a psychic being like Amy's going to hit something with her
car in the future, near future.
Nobody predicted Bobby and Caitlin moving at that point.
We keep finding reasons to go, no, no, no, when maybe we should just be open to the
idea that it maybe could be.
Can I, can I, I, I did a little research.
She also said lunchbox wasn't going to get a car and he still hasn't.
And she said that I would choose a different career path by the end of the year in 2020.
On the engagement, she said, if Bobby will either get engaged late this year or early next
year. That gives her a whole window.
A whole window. No, she said the exact.
No, we wrote it down. We wrote down the month.
We wrote down the month to put an envelope because I didn't know it.
I am just looking at the Bobby Bone Show website and whoever does our website, that is the
quote they put. So I'm just going off the research there.
Well, then that's not tracking the bit entirely because I, yes, Eddie, as we were thinking
about this, I do have memory and recall of how it happened. And she had texted me or sent
like an exact month. And I held it.
secret didn't even tell me because
she knew I would fight it and purposely
not get engaged that month just to prove her wrong
exactly if I told Bobby the
month he'll be like yeah I'll show her
oh yeah I definitely would have fought it
anyway Amy has psychic cousin
but she's been nailing some stuff
we don't know for sure I mean also
she'll even say she's like I'm not going to get
everything
but if you're psychic why don't you get everything right
I don't know because it's fuzzy
up there in the different dimensions
chance or luck yeah you miss some
You get some.
But in your psychic, you should nail them all.
No business gets everything right.
Like, you could be the greatest baseball player.
You're not get to all strikes, even if you're trying.
Yeah.
It's the dead people stuff that really gets me.
You mean the struck to dead people?
Knowing things that people aren't, she's not supposed to know about our co-workers' grandmother in New York.
Like, they don't know each other.
It's not like she could Google, like, oh, let me research about this person's.
Okay, well, wind chimes all around.
I don't know, guys.
That's what's up.
Thank you for the voice.
Males, leave us one anytime. 877, 77 Bobby.
