Morning. I thought this was funny. Morgan number two does all of our social media, all of our digital, the website. But at times people can be mean to you on social media as well. Yes, like on my personal Instagram, they'll make comments and it just lives there forever because I can't do anything about it. Wait, so why are people mean to you mostly? I mean, a lot of them think I have a drinking habit, you know, because I always host drinking videos or something. That would be called a problem. Not a habit?

Yeah. I mean, a drinking habit probably not so bad. It sounds better. It's not such a bad thing if you have it. So they talk about you drinking a lot. Yeah, there's one. You know, some hate that I don't post pictures of my boyfriend. So I've only posed pictures of myself.

And they're like, oh, that's self-absorbed. So it goes across the board. I'll say, first of all, I think it's great that you haven't shared that part. If you want to keep that always private, keep it all. I think me five years ago would have said differently. Me now, having seen someone who wants to be private, live through the struggle of dealing with unwanted attention. Keep it private as long as you want to keep private.

Don't let the trolls get you. What is your new strategy with social media? Well, so if somebody posts like a negative comment, I'll give it 24 hours. Okay? I'll just let it sit on my page. Sometimes I'll respond. Sometimes I won't. But I'll see who all likes that comment.

And then after 24 hours, I'll block them and block everybody who likes the comment. Wow. Because they're all feeling that same thing. That's very funny. Yeah. I like that. Yeah, because they're... It's haters and the haters' friends.

It's right. The haters that don't actually hate, but they hate. They support the haters. They support negativity and hatred. You should do that on our Facebook page. I mean, I've been thinking about it. I just didn't know if I was allowed to, you know, put that kind of bias on there. I don't care what you do on that page.

We might not have anyone after that. Yeah, yeah, I know. We have like over a million followers in that thing. I go look one day and there's like 17. Just people, period. Not a million, just period. I think that's a pretty good strategy, though. Yeah, I mean, it's like a million followers.

like passive aggressive negative but like right so i'm just trying to avoid their potential future negative comments i like that's a pretty good idea don't you agree yeah no i think it's great and you listen you wouldn't let someone come into your house and insult you or say things that you don't like and your social media is like your house you don't have to allow something you don't want up there does anybody listening also don't follow things that make you feel bad a person a brand and not because they're insulting you but if they're doing something or you don't feel good about yourself block them. Limit it.

Mute it. I do that all the time. There are people that it looks like I'm following that I've muted because that just don't like to see their feed and I also don't want to deal

with the drama of them going, why'd you unfollow me? I probably got like 10 people on mute right now. Oh, wow. Yeah, muting's good. Yeah. Any one of us that you've muted?

All of you at some point. No, no, I haven't muted any of you guys. Let's go. Coming up later on the show, speaking of Morgan, she has watched the entire first season of Seinfeld. Oh, she made true.

And she'll review. it for us. That was what we told her. You're how old? 27, 28? 28. Yeah. She didn't watch Seinfeld in real time. So she's going to review it in about an hour the entire first season that's on Netflix right now. It is mailbag time. You send an email

and we read it on the air. It's something we call Bobby's Mailbag. Yeah. Hello, Bobby Bones. My fiancé and I strongly disagree on the matter of me changing my last name when we get married. I don't I want to change my name because my name is my name and I'm a pilot in the United States Air Force. And my name is on all my uniforms.

It won't bother me one bit if someone refers to us as Mr. and Mrs. His last name. And of course our possible future children will have his last name. But it comes down to me not wanting to change my name. Honestly, it's a bit of an ego thing. I'm also not very traditional. Hyphenating isn't what I want to do either. can help. Love the show. Been listening for six years. A confused 26 year old. Listen, I love it. I think if you want to keep that as part of you, you should keep it. I told Caitlin, if you don't want to

change your last name, you do not have to. I don't feel like you changing your last name does anything to strengthen our relationship. And if you want to keep it, I don't think it weakens our relationship. I think it's who you are. I'm not a big fan of tradition for tradition's sake, and I feel like that's what this is. The man now owns the woman. They use. They use. unite as one. Yeah, there are some traditions that are like really bad. You know, and, but she wanted to. She was like, I would like to because when we have kids, I want them to have our name. Now, her name is not Bones. She'd rather be dead than be called Caitlin Bones. That's right. Yes. So I have no problem whatsoever with you keeping your last name. And hopefully your husband respects

that too. I know it's not for everyone. Amy, you didn't keep your last name. Yeah, no, I changed my last name and I was excited to do that. So I feel like younger me would have been like, you need, you should change your name. But as I've matured and grown, I think the key things I hear in this email are that the kids aren't going to have a confusing situation. She's fine with that last name. She's fine with like people seeing them as that couple. But yeah, if she's proud of her name and again, it's her part of her career and who she's represented there, represented as there, then I mean, I think that this should be fine. And yeah, he might need to not be so black. white with this. Like there's room for gray. Also, if he really wants this, you may have to give him

something else. I don't know what it is, but trades are always good. Like, hey, I want to keep my name, but we will live here or this house. I don't, there's something that you can give back to him. Yeah. Instead of just going, I'm keeping my name. And then that's it. Because this sounds like it's very important to him. He probably grew up traditional. Most people did. Most people do. Yeah. I kept my maiden name as my middle name. And even that was a little bit problematic in the beginning. With my husband? With my husband, but I think he would even admit this now.

Like he's a very black and white type person and traditions and this and that. But as he's grown and matured, he sees that now and was like, oh, man, sorry I made you feel that way. But I did. I had, like, my maiden name as my middle name. And I went and I changed it for him back to Elizabeth because, you know, I think that I just folded on it. But should have stood more firm. But here we are 15 years later, a lot of therapy and we're better. I think this is a dig-inable.

Yeah, Angie says. If you really want, I think this is one of those you dig it on. And if you're saying you don't like, you're not a traditional type person, sounds like he might be. And y'all need to get this figured out before you enter a marriage and a lifelong commitment of if this is one thing that's coming up, there's going to be more. Yes. And for everyone that's traditional out there, which is 99.9% of our audience, good for you. good for you you are traditional go for it but I definitely understand her plight

and had Caitlin had the same one I would have been totally cool with it as a matter of fact I wanted to change my name to her last name no I did it no I did no I did it no no you would have had though we could have hyphenated it I'd have been fine we could I'd have been fine with it okay all right that's the mailbag Morgan if they want to email us what do they do mailbag at bobby bones dot com we've got your email and we read it on Air. Now it's time to close. Bobby's Mel Pack. Yeah. All right, Eddie is our video producer. Eddie has four kids, two biological. Two, he fostered and has now adopted. So he's got four kids. All the boys outnumbered your wife. Yes. It's five to one. Yes. And she feels that every day. That's crazy to think about. It's got to be so much farts.

Yes. I'm having to set a rule of like stop farting around your mom. Like just, Stop doing it. Five to one. Yeah. Okay, so we like to focus in sometimes on Eddie's life. All right, Eddie's got two stories. What's the first one?

The first one is, it's funny because this is both my eight-year-old. And the first one is he came up to me, and I don't wear cologne. Like, I just don't wear cologne at all. I have a bottle of cologne, maybe of a special occasion I put it on. Well, he finds it, and he's like, God, that smells so good. He started sprained it on himself. Like, Dad, what do I do it? I put on my neck.

I put it on my wrist. I put it on my chest. And said, well, if you want to, what I do it? He was like, sprayed in the air and walked through it, kind of is a mild smell of cologne. He's like, I want to start wearing this to school. I was like, I don't know you're eight years old. Like, I don't know what people are going to think if you go to school smelling like cologne. I don't know when the right age to start wearing cologne is.

Man, I had some brute when I was about 12. I remember going to Walmart and saving up and buying brute. And I thought I was the coolest kid. I mean, it took me about 30 minutes to get to school and then to make fun of me and tell me I wasn't. How old are we in sixth grade? 12. Okay, because I remember in sixth. grade, a lot of the boys at school wearing

safari. And we all thought they smelled so good. Probably the boys you liked to, though. Yeah, but we did that after gym too. It's like no shower, just put some cologne on. Yeah, not deodorant, just cologne. It's so gross. This is a deal I'd make him. Hey, you can wear some cologne, but I would

wait until after school to put it on. Yes. At 8, that's probably a little too young to be wearing cologne. Why? You don't think rolling to school smelling like the mall isn't good? No, I think 8's... Oh, I don't know. Like, is he attracting the wrong attention? No, I think it eight, if you start to put on a little clone, you want to put on all the

clone. Oh, okay. You don't know how to use sparingly. I think at eight, you're just like, I want it all the time. I think it's, but he can also put it on when he gets home. Like you get two sprays when you get home, you can wear it after school. Yeah. I think that's a nice little warm up so he doesn't pour the whole bottle on himself. Okay, I like that. I like that. But man, it brute, if they still make brute. Yeah. And brew was awesome. Old Spice still around to. I don't, I don't wear a clone. I only the other. You don't, do you? I haven't worn clone since probably None of y'all do. That's probably the brute summer of 92.

Like, Bobby, Eddie, lunchbox, Mike D. None of y'all wear Cologne. No. Not really. Ray does, but. Yeah, Ray wears Axe Body Spray, but he's that kind of guy. Like, he's acts body spray guy. But, like, Colon's awesome.

Why don't y'all wear it? Cost of money. Okay. Too fancy. And you smell yourself all day. The same reason I wear sweats to work every day. Who cares? Okay.

I am trying to still be a watch guy, though. Ray was compliment on watch. He was like, dang, that's a big goal watch. I was like, dude, this costs $30. He was like, hey, how expensive is that? And I showed him up close. And I was like, this is a $30 watch. And he was like, dang, you fooled us all.

Eddie, what else? Okay, so my other story, same kid. He got into some trouble at school. He was just misbehaving. And the teacher called us and said, like, hey, he's doing this. So I told him, look, man, you got to stop acting like this. You got to respect your teacher. And when she says, stop talking, stop talking.

And I said, I'm going to give you five days. And I'm going to call your teacher every single day after school and ask her how you did. and if you come back with five reports, I'm going to take you to get some ice cream. Like good reports. Yeah, good reports. I'm going to take you to get some ice cream. So five good reports.

I said, all right, I'm taking you for ice cream. I said, when do you want to go? He said, let's go Sunday. I'm like, ooh, that's trouble. Got football on Sunday. This is when the Chiefs were playing. I said, all right, I got it. I'm going to take them somewhere where they're showing the game

and I can get him ice cream. So I took him to a sports bar. That's what I'm talking about. My eight-year-old, we roll into a sports bar bones and his eyes were like, what is this place? The bar was hopping, people were ordering shots, beers everywhere, and 20 TV showing football. He was in heaven. I'm looking like, ooh, I don't know if I should be here, my eight-year-old, but they do have ice cream on the menu, and we're going to hang and watch the game for an hour. Amy, how do you feel about that?

That's fine. I mean, I think that kids sports bars sometimes are restaurants and families go there to eat. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I guess it's just that if he starts to get a too curious about all the people taking shots. Water shots. Let him do water shots. One for dad and one water shot for him. Yeah, I don't know about that. He never looked at the alcohol. He just thought the environment was

cool of everyone yelling at the TV. I mean, I don't think he registered that they're all drunk. It's fine. Amy took her 11-year-old to some whiskey place to get a haircut. Yeah. Scissors and scotch. So, yeah, I'm probably not the person to ask, but.

What about Hooters? No. Dude, I can't even go to Hooters. You're kidding me? You can't go to Hooters. That's totally different. That's trouble, man. Oh, my goodness. And no way.

I'm not happening. All right, just making sure. Bobby Bonson. The latest from Nashville and Hollywood. Morgan number two's 30 second skinny. Gabby Barrett and Jimmy Allen were announced as co-hosts to Dolly Parton for the ACM Awards. The award show is going down on March 7th at 8.7 p.m. Central Time on Amm.

Amazon Prime video. Kelsey Ballerini hinted on her social media that she's done with her new music, and she shared a clip of one of the new songs. Here it is. Kinney Chesney-Hesney added 20 amphitheater dates to his 2022 here and now stadium tour with special guest Carly Pierce. His tour is kicking off April 23rd in Florida. I'm Morgan number two. That's your skinny. It's time for the good news. With producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

Mia is a senior in high school, and two years ago, she started this project, part of a class, and she wanted to renovate a camper. And she did. She found a camper. She bought it. And she took two years to get it exactly how she wanted it. And it ended up being really cool, a camper that people really wanted to live in. So she found an organization called Veteran Car Donations.

And she said, hey, is there a veteran that you have there that needs a place to live? And they said, yes, they teamed her up with a veteran. and she got to donate a camper. Wow, that's cool. She worked two years on it and then gave it away. Two years. Love that. That's pretty selfless.

I lived in a camper for about a year. That's right. You did. Put a box fan out there. Lived it up. I didn't have a bedroom growing up. So I slept on the couch my whole life. And so we had a camper that sat, an old camper that sat beside the house that Arkansas

Keith had bought for pretty cheap. And I was like, what if I go and live out there? Wait, it was a one-person camper? Yeah. And that was just, that was like your room. And you didn't drive it. You had hook it up to a truck. It was an old one that you would attack, you hook the ball and drag it.

And so I pulled the extension cord out there. Were you scared at night? No, I just never have my own space ever. Never had a bedroom. So mostly it was like, wow, I get to, I'll have the radio, I'd turn it on to KLAZ or Kissin'96. And I turned the box fan on, and I'd sweat my face off every single night. Because it was like, when it got too cold, I didn't stay out there. Yeah.

I didn't trust the heat. I lived in the camper. It was pretty awesome. I remember I'd get on, and I took the cordless phone out there. Before cell phones, I would take the cordless phone that didn't have a charger because it stayed in the house. I just leave it with me all the time until it ran dead, and then I'd go and charge it up again. Ah, life. Would you call girls on that phone?

What were you doing in there? No. He called the radio station. He just held the phone. I lived in a camper. There were no girls for guys that lived in a camper. Got it. But great story by her.

That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. Seinfeld has become one of Netflix's biggest shows. Morgan had never watched Seinfeld because you were born in 1993? Yep, nailed it. And so you never really watched any of it? No, I mean, like maybe caught like a few minutes on like cable TV at one point, but don't remember it. Even saying cable TV makes us feel old.

Like TVS, which shows Seinfeld all the time. And so we said, hey, watch the first two seasons of Seinfeld and see if it still holds up, having never seen it before. So you finished the first season. I did, but I have to admit something. I fell asleep during episode four. How many episodes are there in the first season? Five. Short season.

It was short. So I had to go back and rewatch four and five because I fell asleep during both of them. And that alone didn't make me feel very good. So I don't have a good vibe with it so far. It's only getting 2.5 out of five dad jeans for me. Oh, you should rate them in dad jeans. Interesting. I do think season one's the weakest.

If you were to watch season one of the office, I think you would go, I don't know if this shows for me. I do think your eyes are going to open up a little bit in season two. And there are far more episodes as well. I mean, I'm not very hopeful, though, at this point. Like, the fact that it made me fall asleep, I don't fall asleep to anything. I can watch stuff for days, and I don't fall asleep. So that's not a good sign for me. So as of right now, you're at 2.5 out of 5.

As of right now, yes. In season two, there are 12 episodes. So not extremely long, but still a little more. And some of the more famous ones, like the Chinese restaurant. That's it. That's it. Oh, that's good. Season two.

The deal, which was a big one. One of the most famous ones, that I'm not even going to say what they do in it, but they agreed not to do something. Oh, yeah, yeah. They bet money on it. I remember this.

So some of the jacket, some of the most famous episodes are in season two. Okay. So we think you're going to like that a little better. Okay, what do you think I'll end up getting to? Like, will it go a 2.5 or will I stay there? I think you'll get up to a 3, but you'll probably peak at a 3.

That's my guess. All right. Hey, one other thing, speaking about getting older, Eddie's son Asked Eddie if he had ever met Jesus And I'm like What?

I mean not I mean one that's rude And two like Jesus lived like a long Long long long time ago And he's like oh well how old are you I'm like I'm 42 I never met Jesus Kids don't understand sometimes the difference in like

2000 years and Amy there are no photographs of Jesus There are only old paintings of what people think he look like Yeah they see pictures and they think think that that's real. How old is the son that asked you that? He's six. Yeah.

He's six. And how did he ask you? Well, we were leaving church and we were in the car and he said, man, Daddy, you ever met Jesus? Because he just seems awesome. And I'm like, met Jesus. Yeah, like, did you ever hang out with him? Do you ever like know him?

That's funny. No. And you explained that you didn't even go to the same school. Yes. I said one day I hope to meet Jesus, but no, I have not yet. Hey, last week we got a call from a lady named Al. who said she had been scammed by a fake Trace Adkins, remember that? Yes.

She was going to buy tickets and got scammed out of money. Tracy apparently needed headphones. A lot of money. You needed to finish a record? Yeah. So it stinks. I mean, because people are getting scammed all the time. And so she's on the phone, but what she doesn't know is we have Trace on the phone too.

Come on. This is amazing. So we're going to make sure she gets hooked up. When Trace heard the story, he called me. and he was like, hey, I want to help her out. That's a bad trace impression, but we're going to do that next. So Alice is on. She has no idea that trace is about to be on.

I mean, you have no idea how many times my manager did. My manager told me this happens all the time. And it's, you know, these platforms haven't been policing this stuff better and don't seem to care. I haven't caught up with our technology. These pacificuted, but, you know, they'll shut their little sight down. But then they just start another one back up and nobody does anything about it. No, that's the truth. Well, Alice, Trace wants to make sure that when you come to the show, that you also get to meet and greet

Here is Julie from Rochester, New York. I just wanted to say thank you. Nine years ago, I was going through a really tough time with my daughter. Turned you on for the very first time. You made me laugh and cry. I just felt like I was going through life with you and you're helping me through a really rough moment. I'm proud to say now nine years later, she's thriving.

She's doing great. I'm still listening to your shows. But thanks again. You guys are awesome. Thank you for making every morning a great morning for me. and keep up the good job. Thank you. Thanks, Julie. And glad to hear the good news there. Appreciate you sharing that with us.

Here's one more voicemail. Morning studio. I was just wondering if you were going to bring back the employee of the month. Thanks. Love the show. The only reason we haven't done the employee of the month the last couple months is because I forget. And then it's like the fifth. And then I'm like, well, we missed that window. And today's the eighth.

So let's make a note, Mike. This is a very short month, 28 days. So you guys better get to working. Oh, man. Who's the last employee of the month? Oh, Abby. Yeah, like an Abby. That makes sense.

Yeah, from last year. Abby was like employee at a year last year. I know that it wasn't an award, but our phone screener Abby, just great content, great attitude, great at her job. Like, A plus, great singer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh. Here's Amy's pile of stories.

So this woman got rejected for a job interview because her voicemail greeting was too, quote, jokey. Well, what was the job? Head of seriousness? No, she... Nope, working at a grocery store and he was actually calling to offer the job, but then left her a message saying, never mind, your voicemail isn't like cool enough.

Well, what are they joking about? Are they being racist in their jokes? All right, here's a clip of her voicemail. What's up? What's up? What's up, y'all? It's your girl now, and I'm back with another vanganganga. I'm sorry, I could have answered the phone.

You be the name, number. Yeah, you know, all that. What happened? Hey, Michaela, it's Bobby. Hey, is there any way you... That's awesome. I heard. Yeah, I don't understand the job.

That person, if it were like, if you were joking about something that was offensive or obscene, I would understand it. But that's nothing. Yeah, he left her message and said that, you know, if you apply for a job, you should make sure your voicemail is more professional. Get over it, buddy. I would not work for that guy. He said there was no need to call back and he hung up. What a... What a turd in the punchball, huh?

Like, what would your personal voicemail? But again, she was just... having fun, it wasn't like she was saying something obscene. That's what I mean. Wild. Yeah. A three-year-old named Landon had a seven-minute conversation with 911 after he accidentally called 911 when he was playing with his parents Apple Watch during nap time. Here's a clip from an interview that his dad and mom did. I was listening and I'm like, wait, is that someone else talking? It was like one of the original series watches. And I was like, I haven't used it in years. It's probably not connected to a phone.

We're still Herman and him looking at the Mickey. Okay, so here's the bit. Lunchbox calls 911 and sees how long he can stay on. It sees if he can beat the kid. Oh, do it. Do it.

No, you would get arrested for, you can get. But act seven. My mom, he did I get to? I don't think he can do that with that voice. I'm seven. What is it? Improper use of 911? Yeah, yeah.

Don't do that bit. Lunchbox can't go to jail again. Okay. Walker Hayes is on tour with his entire family. So yeah, all eight of them. And he said they're drinking from a fire hose of joy. And then he said the sweetest thing about having his wife on the road with him is because she's his best friend and he loves to tell her everything. But now he doesn't even have to tell her. She gets to be by his side and experience it all because for so many years they were at home and he was

on the road just trying to make it. Now he can bring them. This is that guy's moment and good for him. You know, his kids are also homeschooled, which she talked about on the show before. Yes. So it can do school on the road. Everybody can just go. And I was looking at his merch table on his Instagram. He's actually got some pretty good merch stuff. Yeah, and his kids sell it. His kids sell merch. So, like, they're learning so many different things.

Yeah. Yeah, is that it, Amy? Uh-huh, maybe that's my pile. That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news. With lunchbox. Stay at home if something good. Shannon was headed home from work in Canada because a blizzard was coming into town.

Snow falling. She's like, I'm not going to make it. I'm going to get stuck in the storm. So she got on the community. Facebook page and posted her location, you know, dropped a pin, said, hey, I need help. I'm stranded. Not going to make it home. An 80-year-old farmer saw it, got his lantern. He said, I'm going to go get him, honey. And as he's walking down the road, he found three other cars stranded in the snow. He said, come on. And he brought all seven people back to his house

where his wife made coffee, muffins, and said, stay the night here. But you said he was walking. He had to be like in a truck or something. He walked with his. He walked with his lantern. Yeah, but how did he get him out of their situation? They walked to his house. Yeah, he got him out of their car. And they walked with him. And they walked with him. Got it, got it. Because he tried to get the tractor, but it wouldn't go in the snow.

Pretty good. And how old? 80 years old, Andre the farmer. Shout out to Andre being on Facebook. I guess these people just needed to know there was an available house. Yeah, they had no idea. They didn't know the guy. He just happened, and he found three other cars when he was going to find that woman. That's crazy. I feel like that's like the headless horseman. Walking with the lantern? He has a

the Headless Horsman back in the day. You know who else is pretty old? Jerry Seinfeld's almost 70. Wow. He's like 67 years old. I just see him as Jerry from the show in the 90s. And the reason I looked it up, we watch Curb a lot. It's one of Caitlin's favorite show, so I've been watching a lot with her.

And Larry David is like 74. And it's hilarious on the show. I mean, still, timing, everything's there. And so we looked up Jerry Seinfeld. He's 67. Wow. In one point, Jerry Seinfeld was like 35 a 18-year-old. Never forget that.

That's right. He may have been 38. He's a 17-year-old. Let's not talk about that. Never forget. It ruins. Are they still together? No, no, no, no, no.

She graduated high school. At age 38, Seinfeld struck up a relationship with a 17-year-old girl. It was in the early 90s. Ew. That's illegal, right? Oh, yeah. Depends on the state? No, no.

No, no. No state, that's okay. I don't think that's true. Yeah. I think when you're like 19 and 17, okay, but when... Some of the age of consent is... Because I remember being some states like 16. Oh, man.

17. We should probably check this. Fact check. But, I mean, it does vary state to state for sure. And why would he publicly do something so illegal? I'm glad Mike typed this into his computer. Each U.S. state has its own general age of consent. As of August 1st, 2018, the age of consent in each state in the United States is either 16, 17, or 18.

There you go. He found one from a state that... I did not type that on my computer. I'm not typing in the age of consent of my country. computer for any reason whatsoever. I mean, how does he even go about meeting a 17-year-old? Apparently, she was hanging out at the park, and she looked older. Are you serious?

Yeah. He met her at the park. I think so, yeah. Oh, my goodness. They were just joking. They met in Central Park, and apparently it was just a friendship until she turned 18. Okay. There you go, see?

Ew, though. Ew. Okay, you're 41. One? Going to be 42 soon, but basically 38. So, could you even imagine dating a 17-year-old? No, but an 18-year-old? No.

Anyway, great story of lunchboxes' story. About the guy with the lantern. That's good. That's what it's all about. That was Tell Me Something Good. What's happening, everybody? Here's a voicemail we got last night. Good morning, studio.

I'm calling about Thursday's post show. Amy was asking about why they described her as pleasant in the note from the doctor's office. As a first semester nursing student, you are taught that when you do your nurses, notes to put in the attitude and demeanor of the patient. So that's why you were described as pleasant. It means you made a very good impression and they thought you were very happy. So take that with some pride. Okay.

Cool. That's awesome. But the thing is, it was on my online portal, which I see. So if someone is not pleasant, would they see crazy 40-year-old? I need to go look at mine. I better see, mine better be funny and testosterone filled. Yeah. If it's not that, I'll be up.

And sexy. Yes, yes. Can you imagine you go into this and sexy? Hey, thanks. I'm going to go look at mine. Amy, what do you got? Let's go with the joke. The morning corny.

What did the cheese say to the ground beef when they met at the grocery store? What did the cheese say to the ground beef when they met at the grocery store? It's good to meet you. That was the morning corn. Morning. You guys can leave us voicemail at any time, day or night, week or weekend. Sunup, sundown. It's the same as our phone number.

Here's voicemail number one. Morning studio. I had a question for Eddie and how he disciplines his bio children versus his adopted children and how he will explain to them when they're older, why they're being disciplined differently. I come from a very blended family, and that was always really hard for me growing up being disciplined. differently than numb and I still to this day never understood why. Eddie? Who, it's tough.

Because when we were fostering our kids, it was very difficult because I had done poppins for a long time. We call them poppins. And, you know, and I couldn't do that with foster kids. And we would take our bio-kids to a different room and we'd talk to them and then we'd give them their punishment. And then

that was it. And they didn't really understand why they were getting it. The bio-kids were getting it. And the foster kids were not getting it. Now that we've adopted the kids, we're slow, We're slowly adapting the same kind of discipline with all the kids, but we're explaining to them why this is what we do. And so I think we're starting to get it. I think everyone's starting to feel equal and starting to become a family thing versus bio and adopted. So hopefully we're doing the right thing.

I have no idea. We're just kind of doing it because it feels right. If you want to speak on this, you can. Because my next question is what do you whoop them with? But let me talk about what I was whooped with for a second. Come on. Because I was whooped. If I got whooped, which was only.

for talking too much. I was a really good kid. But my mom would whip me with a belt, but my grandmother, being old, would use anything around. I'd pick my own switch, so then I'd pick the smallest switch, but then that would just tear me up. Then I'd like, all right, I'll get the biggest switch. You'd come in a tree limb, then you just get beat with the tree limb. So there really was no win. Like, whichever one you picked ended up badly in a way. The flyswatter, sometimes I get so much, the top of the fly swatter would come off. Then it's just a metal. You ever get the sandal? That's what my mom would do.

Nah. She would just take her sandal off and be like, okay. It was switch or fly swatter or belt for the most part. You? Did you get worked at all? Yes, I got spanked a lot. Oh. Hand or belt, I guess. I never got the hand. I think one time I got the hand for my mom and I was like, yeah, you laugh at that. I was like, come on. Like I deserve more than this. I was being logical with it. I said, no.

The hand, I didn't hurt that much. So if you don't really, I don't. I didn't hurt that much. So if you don't have to learn my lesson, I need something a little harder. Well, that's what we always do. We do hand. And it's almost a gauge of like make sure if it hurts me, then it really hurts them. So it's kind of like, do it bare hand. That way you don't really hurt them because it's just a pun. It's just a form of discipline.

But my 13 year old, he's 14 now is we have to do a paddle now because he's like you're saying, he laughs at us when we do the hand. Wait, you spank your 14 year olds. Yes. What? Yeah. It's just a little paddle, probably the size of my arm. And that's what we, that's like.

At 14. At 14. Because the hand, he literally laughs at us. That doesn't work. You don't need the spank of 14. I don't know. Whoa, he's the one that needs it the most. He's a teen.

What are you guys talking about? He's a teenager. Man, he loves the lip, talk back, and that's when it's just like, all right, here we go again. I feel weird about this. Really? But I, we don't, we don't spank. But, I mean, well, we have adopted children. So our son, we kind of did in the beginning.

We learned, like, that's not for him. But also what I've learned as a mom. whether it's bio-children or adopted or foster, whatever, however your family is blended together, even if they're all biological, they may need to be parented totally differently. Because each child has a different set of personalities, and I think we grew up just this like,

either you were disciplined this way or that way. And it's just, that's just so not the case. And we unfortunately carried that into our children, but as we've matured in our parenting, we don't treat our children the same, even though they're adopted. If they were biological, we would still treat them different, because their personalities are so different.

I feel like I won't spank. Yeah. Yeah, you say that now. I know. And then you're just like, I don't know what else to do. I think I'll just make them memorize poetry or... Yeah. Yeah, that can be...

Yeah, I mean, you can get creative and do other things. And then when they don't memorize it, what happens? Then they get spank. Stop on time. Hey, thank you for the voicemail. Again, call our number 877-77 Bobby, if you guys want to leave us a voicemail. We now play so much cards at the house. Just Caitlin and I play in this game called Nurtz.

We bought a card shuffler and it came yesterday. I thought it was going to be weak because it showed up yesterday. The day after we bought it. Who knew? Well, Amazon Prime said it was going to take a couple weeks in the literal delivery date. But it showed up and we started using it. It's a piece of crap, though. You take the deck and you put it on both sides

and you push a button in the middle and it shuffles them together. But we bought the shuffler for $13. And the cards keep it. getting hung in it. So I guess you get what you pay for. It's worse now. So I think we're going to have to level up and go to like one of those $26 ones.

So yeah, it would take longer to do that because it'd go, oh man, you got to take the card out, it wasn't bent. So we played a card yesterday with the new shuffler, but we're getting shuffling injuries on our fingers. Yeah, I mean, I think at this point, it's worth the investment. Some men get calluses on their hands and I'm putting offenses. Oh, right, right. I get mine for playing cards.

Nerd. So play cards. Went to dinner last night. We, you know, have a goal to have a date night a week. And so we went to dinner and a little late for us, but we could only get in. We used the app open table to book a place and they had a 715. So we go at 7.15, which is basically midnight to me. But it's fine.

So we go, we get there, go right in, and it's freezing cold. Layered up and we go into the place and there are people, there's nobody outside the restaurant. Because it's so cold, everybody's sitting inside, like, right. at the entrance. Everybody's a, you know, packed in together. And I see a guy that I know or have known, but I haven't really haven't seen them since before the pandemic, really like them. But it's like, I didn't want to have a whole 45 minute conversation right there. And everybody's packed in together. And so I see him and I don't think he sees me. And I'm like, I'll catch him on the way out. And so they're like, okay, to your table, to take us to our table. And everybody's pretty packed in tight at

this restaurant, too. It's not a huge place. And so we're sitting there. And the, table next to us gets up and they go off and then they came and seat them and you could reach it and touch him right next to me and so now it's like well do I spend the time catching up because you're the it's like we're almost eating at the same table

you're that close and so and Caitlin doesn't know him but I'm like he sits down and we hey what's up and then we have do the thing of separating from like I'm now done talking to your table and I'm only going to talk to my wife but we're so close. You can hear everybody's conversations

about the girl beside us having a birthday. We should four feet away. So awkward. It was almost like if you go to Habachi and you're sitting next to people that's almost what it was like

except the guy sitting next to me was the guy that I had known for a long time and hadn't hung out with them probably should have made an effort. But we talked for a little bit and then we just kind of made a distinct line and now we're going to focus on the people

that we're with. And then at the end, we're like, hey, it was great to see you. But I'm telling you, Amy, if we were three feet apart that's long. It was so close and it was just awkward putting somebody that you kind of know

right next to you because you feel the pressure of you need to talk the whole time and sometimes you hear the conversation you just want to jump in. Even with the girls beside us to our left like they were having a birthday and I was like I really just want to tell her happy birthday and she was like they don't know us from the man on the moon so she didn't say anything about it. So how do you think you left it with this guy

after we'll's dinner? Because again we focus on the front but I mean will you like you said you probably should have connected at some point, but you didn't, but will you connect again, or it'll go another two years? I'll probably hit him up on Instagram, be like, hey, good to see you. Okay. Because it was good to see him. I just would have preferred, like, three seats down. Not right, because there's an awkwardness there.

Was he like, was he on a date? He was with a friend. I don't know if it was a date or not. I don't know. I was trying so hard to just stay connected to my wife. Yeah. So, we did that. We had a good night. It was just very awkward to be seated next to somebody that you used to know pretty well right beside you. How cool to do something that feels a little normal, like eat somewhere with a bunch of people. Nope. Don't like that.

I like COVID rolls at restaurants. When you were going, nobody's sitting next to you. There's plastic things between. They're like, what were the good old days for me? They're like, what were the good old day? Well, kids, back in the day, when COVID was here, you didn't have to sit by anyone. Sometimes we'll go to dinner and this is not, this is not something that keeps me up at night. But people will take their phones.

They'll record us. or they'll take pictures of us while we're eating. And when they do their phone, I'm holding my phone up here. It's so obvious because if you're looking at your phone, there's an angle where the very top of the phone is you're holding it to an angle. The top of the phone is still down. Sometimes people will act like to look at their phone and they're holding it straight up.

And I know, and Caitlin knows what they're like they're recording us eating dinner right now. And then I feel awkward. Then I feel like I have to eat perfect. And I'm like, oh. And I'm only talking about good things. And I'm like, I want to be super smart. I'm like, oh, how about that stock market? And I don't have a dang thing in the stock market.

But so it makes me feel uncomfortable when that happens. Because that happens. It's weird sometimes. Not a real problem. We have real problems in our life, and that's not one of them. But the good old days when COVID kept people a part of restaurants, oh, I miss them, man. I miss them. Let's go over and talk to April in Ohio.

April, you're on the Bobby Bone show. What's going on with you? there she is April April what's up Hi hey I'm just calling in about the segment you guys did about last name when you get married I want to first say

my husband's the best husband in the world so he didn't mean no harm when you said this but when we got married he asked you said I mean you don't have to take my last name and I was really hurt by that and I was like really offended that he did not want me to have his last name no not the same thing I'll speak I'd not the same thing don't find a way to make it about you

because it was really him giving you the opportunity to if in your mind if you needed to keep it to to keep an identity letting you have that you don't have to have it to keep your own identity I think most people take the name of the other person but I did the same thing to my wife I said you don't take my last name if your name is that important to you if you keep it because I'm fine I'm secure enough to be you know I'll just be just be me and we'll have kids and we'll call them hyphen Hey, little hyphen one, little hyphen two. So now are you still upset about it?

And did you take his name? No, I don't give him crap about it. But no, I mean, I get what he was trying to do, and I respect that. And to me, my identity is my first name, April. And my characteristic defines me and is my identity. So to me, it wasn't a big deal. But when he said that, it just kind of took me back. Because I've never heard any, like, man actually say, yeah, you don't have to have my last name.

Maybe him and I both could have phrased it better And we could have both Him and I are in the same little basket here We both could have said We are so lucky to be marrying you Like of all the people in all the world The fact that you chose us The fact that we met you and you chose us

Wow, mind-blown emoji That being said Would love for you to take my last name Because there is nothing That would make me prouder However, if for some reason You love your last name so much and you don't want to relinquish it.

I'm willing to sacrifice that. That is a lot better than, you don't have to take my life. Yeah, that's a good point. April and Amy does a good point. We probably should have handled it differently. I'm sincere about it. He was because I have a child, but he didn't have my last thing either. But he knows I'm very close with my family.

So he wanted to respect that. But it's like, oh, I could hyphenate it too. But it just really kind of, because we are very traditional. It just put me back. And I was her. And to this day, we'll still bring up almost. seven years later. Like, you know with their time you didn't want me to have your last name? Hey, let it go, April. April, let it go. Let go out of the road.

I do. I do. It's just fun. Hey, well, thank you. Hey, April. Thanks for listening and tell your husband, we say hello, and hope you have a great day. I will. Thanks, you guys too. All right, bye-bye. Eddie was talking about punishing his kids. I guess there was a voicemail. Yeah. And then you talked about what was going on with your kids, and we have a lot of calls on that. And I'll take a couple. Here's Heather in Wichita, who's on the phone. Heather, what's going on? Morning studio Morning.

Hey, so I just dealt with us last week with my third grade son. He and a couple buddies found a marker in the sand on the playground, and they each took turns writing something inappropriate on the slipper slide, thinking it was a washable marker. And when the words did not wash off, uh-oh, they got sent to the principal's office and got in trouble. And so I'm a big believer in punishment should fit the crime. So I told him if you choose to write at school and appropriately, you get to write at home. And I came up with the most epic, longest sentence I can think of and told him he had to give me 25 copies of it before he could do anything else.

And in the eyes of a third grade boy, that was huge punishment. The poor kid never wants to write again. He's just done, period. Well, thank you very much, Heather. Thanks for sharing your story. Yep. See you later. I thought she was about to say because I want the punishment to fit the crime.

I mean, I'm sharpie his face or something. With the word he wrote. You know, I didn't think she was going there. I did not. That's interesting. Let's go over one more. Elizabeth and Virginia Beach. You're on the Bobby Bone Show.

What's going on? Good morning studio. Morning. I had the same experience as Bobby. I had 10 sisters and we got beat by the switch. And then I did also like Bobby. did. I went out and took my own switch and I kept trying different ones to see which

one didn't hurt the worst and we got beat with a paddle and I was saying a while ago my parents didn't get called the APS or anything but now if you say I'm going to beat my kid or spank my kid people want to judge you and turn you over and we were all raised pretty good

well if you say beat your kid I think you probably should have a That's cringy. At least an ear turned your direction We're definitely in different times and for a good reason. Yes. So You know, like, that's valid. Yeah, the word beat. Not so good.

Probably shouldn't be used. And also, I also don't think just because something was done away many years ago, that it's okay to do it the same way now, especially with everything you've learned. Correct. Right. Like what?

I mean, I could, I don't even want to give examples. If someone said I beat my kid. Yeah, that's not good, man. Well, I'm going to do like my dog when I say the word, food. Turn's head. Yeah. And just listen. The Bobby Bone Show is.

Pediatric stroke called a in-utero stroke. and she is such a big-hearted little girl, and her first goal in 2020 was about $1,000, and she reached her goal, and because of COVID last year, she didn't get as much. But she set her goal this year to $1,299.

And so, but she has the travel up there to the Shiner's Hospital in Greenville, South Carolina. Oh, that's what it is. Okay. Well, I'm going to pledge $100 bucks.

She just hangs up. Okay, I will. All right, hold on a second. All right, good. That's what it's all about right there. That was Tell Me Something Good. Okay, let's catch you up on what's happening with the news. Bobby's Big.

Stories. A woman in Oregon who believed she was training to be a DEA agent realized she had been tricked for a year by a man pretending to be her supervisor. That's wild. Robert Edward Golden, 41, is accused by Portland officials

of impersonating a DEA special agent using false credentials to gain information from residents and installing red and blue emergency lighting in his car to navigate traffic. This guy went full on. Wow. It's almost cosplay.

almost, except it's highly illegal, and he's faking being an officer. He also kept a tactical vest with DEA police patches, two body armor plate carriers, handcuffs, badges, and an AR-15-style rifle that turned out to be a BB gun. I mean, I believe him. BB gun. Yeah. Authorities discovered and detained the pair on February 1st after a police sergeant noticed one of the vests saw it, went up to him and said, hey, man, are you a sworn federal agent?

He and the trainee were both feds working in Portland. He then told the woman to show the officer her fake badge, which she didn't know was a fake badge. The unidentified trainee who wasn't charged told authorities that Golden had given her the DEA badge and photo ID and said she'd been in training for a year while attending school for criminal justice. She said Golden had taken her on night surveillance ride-alongs.

She also said that they did practice shooting and mentioned four other DEA agents by name he could go to jail for three years and face a fine of $250,000. It's from Yahoo. I tricked her for a year. I wonder if she had to pay for it. Yeah, that's what, I'm just so perplexed how she thought that this was. Well, she thought it because he had a badge and he had body armor and he had two body armor plate carriers and handcuffs and a BB gun.

Anyway, how did he line all this up? Right. I don't know. At some point. How did he recruit her? Yeah. You can go to like the Army. Surplus.

Yeah, whatever. And buy stuff. that looks extremely similar. Oh, yeah, no, I mean, I would have fallen for it. I guess, you know, she's... Amy thinks she's being a DAA agent. Come on. North Korean authorities arrest a dance teacher

for teaching capitalist routines. Authorities that have reportedly arrested a dance tutor who was teaching kids capitalists. They don't say which one it is. Hopefully it was like something good, at least, like the buggy. No, all seriousness, it's awful there.

That's crazy. They make people go to... to hard, what do they call it? Hard labor camps. This is in North Korea? Or kill them if they watch something from the West. Or listen to those K-pop vans. So this is from the New York Post.

Sources say the teacher and students are facing hard labor and the kids' parents will likely be punished as well. The kids' parents. They were teaching them dancing. Some people say that, of the dance that I was taught, some people should be punished. Which one was that? Dancing with the stars.

They're like, you should be punished for putting him on that show. A flying vehicle called a Jetson is now on sale. And it's for delivery next year. It basically looks like a massive drone, but you get in it. And it flies you. That's crazy.

It looks like you're sitting in a drone and surrounding you there are four little propellers. It costs $92,000. It was launched in October of last year and was so popular, they sold out. But now they've opened it back up for 2023. and if you have the money, 92 grand, you can get you one from the Daily Mail. I don't like to fly.

I don't trust it. You know, Dustin Lynch is now learning to be a pilot. He's going to be in on Friday, and I need to have a talk with him about that. I don't like flying. I think flying should be your number one thing. Not a hobby. I think anyone flying, that should be their thing. You be the ones that fly us and then let you, Dustin Lynch.

You should go do music or other things on the ground. I need to have a talk with him But even like real pilots Driving was their first thing And then they fly Well driving's all of our things But we also have our first thing Like work

Oh We all drive That's not our first thing So but yes But you can get you one of these You know that people When it crashed in the buildings Yeah but how

I couldn't keep a drone out of a tree Can you imagine if I was in one Couldn't keep like One of the What are the rules though I don't think there are rules yet No okay Free airspace for all

Have at it It's a while west According to a report, searches for men's lingerie have skyrocketed 60% over the last month. That's because of Eddie. That's all me. Some said the so-called menjuree is a result of Rihanna's Savage ex-Finti brand launching a line of men's lingerie. I bring it up because Eddie had three days of wearing basically men's panties. Is that what I was wearing?

No, you're wearing something from Japan. Just lacy. It was lacy underwear, I guess. Yeah, you're wearing something. Lacey briefs. And what was your final takeaway? It's fine. They're not bad if that's what you're into.

They just creeped up a little too high for me. After like a couple days, I'm like, oh, I had to kind of, you know, pull stuff out of areas I didn't want. Other than that, the lace was nice. It breathes very well. So will you wear them again? No. What'd you do with them? Trashed.

They're trashed. Men's lingerie options include glossy, flossy, cropped top, men's sexy lingerie lace g-strings, and men's see-through thongs. Oh. See-through. What? Isn't a thong pretty much It's already invisible

And finally Billy Joe Armstrong The lead singer of Green Day Here's a clip of Green Day Says one of his prized cars And a bunch of bandgirer Were stolen recently And TMZ's on the case

And so are the cops for that matter Other than the car Police say the unknown individuals Took two electric guitars and the amp Here's a clip of the video he posted Saying you can bring it back No questions asked So once again, I just want to say thanks everybody for reposting and looking for my car.

Also, to the people that stole it, like the one thing, I don't want anybody to go to jail. That sucks. You know, just drop it off. Or, you know, and if you do get caught, I'll bail you out. I just want my car back. And that's it. It was a stolen 1962 Chevy II? Chevy I.

Chevy. It says Chevy, too. It says Chevy 2 here. I don't know what that means. It's a Chevy 2 here! Typeo, I'm sure. Okay, cool. You think he'll really just forgive him?

Well, it sounds like it. I mean, you think this is a trap? I think he really wants a Chevy 2. Yeah, for sure. It says Chevrolet Chevy 2 slash Nova. So you're both right. I know nothing about cars. I mean, I know less than...

You can convince me it's called Heave. And I would be like, oh, it is. I drive a Chevy. I didn't quite know that was the original name of it. I know nothing about cars. Okay, there you go. Amy, what do you think that... Well, we played a clip.

The number one Green Day song of all time. Streaming. What's the name of that song? I don't know the words. They don't think I've had enough. I don't know. Basket case. There you go.

Can you think of another Green Day song? No. I wasn't a big Green Day person. Yeah, but you'll know them. Sure. We'll give me a hint. Don't want to be an American idiot. How about wake me up when September ends?

Oh, this is good. Sing it. Well, you heard the beginning. That was good. Good riddance, time of your life. Oh, oh, this is good. We played this like our senior year of high school Something like that

Time of your life I know it I know it I'm not gonna be able to get there Because I have the other one Hmm It's something Unredictable

Why are you playing hand guitar I hope you had the time of your life You didn't know you knew so much Green Day And finally how about Boulevard of Broken Dreams Oh, that one's good. It is. It is. It is.

Actually, I do like Green Day. Go ahead. She's like, boulevard. It's good. I saw the last one once we played a teeny bit. Watch along this trees. Okay. Anyway, there you go.

About a broken dreams. That's all cadence you have there. All right, that's the news. Thank you. Stories. If you go over and you're looking for a podcast and you've already listened to this show, I encourage you to check out the Bobbycast. It is a music podcast I do with songwriters, artists, and it's an hour long.

And I had Morgan Wade on this last week. And I'm just a massive fan of her album. She talked about how her producer made her sing one line of this song Wilder Days over and over for almost an hour before she got it right. Just singing Wilder Days, I stood in front of that microphone for a solid 45 minutes singing that one line over, and over and over. And I was like, I never want to hear this song again. Which, which part?

I wish I did. And you're wilder days. Like that, that part of it. He made me, and he was in his kitchen, shredding chicken for tacos. And he would be like, yeah, you can keep going. I think you can, and I could see that part of my sleep now. I hated it.

All right, thank you guys. Let's go to the phones. Let's go talk to Crystal in Kansas. Crystal, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's going on? Hey, I just had a proud moment yesterday. All right. So we had a co-worker who had been missing some money, frantically looking for it all day and couldn't find it.

But my son, who goes to another school because he's 13, when I picked him up, he says, mom, I found a $20 bill laying on the ground. And I said, well, what did you do with it? And he said, I just gave it back to the lady that's helping up this school. And so it just made me proud that he, at 13, didn't pocket the money. He did his honest. I'm curious, lunchbox, because you're Mr. Money. You'd keep everything you found.

What would you tell your kid? I would tell him, hey, man, at 13 years old, $20 is a lot of money. And you just, like, cash can't be traced. So that money, you really should have kept that money. If someone came up to you and said, hey, did you find my... You would have said that as a dad? Yeah, I would have told him... Cash can't be traced.

Yeah, you should have kept that money. Good advice, man. What? That's crazy. That's fatherly advice right there. I don't get it. Yes. I mean, that's true because he gave it to that whoever at school and that person just pocketed it.

Crystal, I think you have a reason to be proud of your son. And do you want to say his name here? His name is Carson Hill for St. George, Kansas. All right. Carson, we're proud of you, too, buddy. Just remember. Cash can't be traced. Yes, right. If you remember anything.

For next time. All right, thank you, Crystal. Have a great day. Get her money back. Yeah. Thank you, Crystal. All right. Thanks.

Bye-bye. Hey, speaking of money, how... What's today? The 8th? Valentine's Day's next Monday. Yeah. You bought all those reservations. Yep.

Have you sold any? Yep. You got the money. I'm calling Do you have the money? I do not have the money. Oh, boy. But there will be a call place today after the show to Piree in Vegas.

Got his number. I've been trying to contact him. So I will call him again today. Get it on the books. And then my guy from Austin is supposed to find out today if he's getting off work. So it looks like we may be have two in the bag. So we still just have two? But you have no money.

You can't hear you all of a sudden. Yeah, yeah. I don't have any money right now. That's fine. I mean, guys, you don't get money until the sale happens. You made five reservations, right? Yeah. Okay, and we only have two potential buyers. And if you cancel them, they charge you.

Yeah. They do. That's why they take your credit card. No, if you don't show up, they charge you. What's the cancellation policy? 24 hours? 24 hours, some of them are 48. Okay.

So I got time. So listen, guys, the panic is going to set in today or tomorrow for all these smucks out there that are going to look at the calendar and realize, oh my gosh, it's Valentine's Day next week. I have to have a reservation. And they're going to be coming on my Instagram flooding with like, hey, I need it. I need it. Are you checking your DM?

Oh, yeah. I'm checking them. But you've sold none and you have six days left. I don't know why you wouldn't hold them the day of. That's when people would really want them. Well, I tell you what. Because that's running the risk of him. If you hold them day of, we can mention them on the show Monday, that Monday.

He's going to get charged. Well, but I'm telling you. That's the problem. I'm going to get charged. I know, but you want to be a business man? You want to be a business mouse. A man or mouse? because the people are really going to be freaking out day of.

You want to be man or mouse, you hold those reservations. We'll come on the show Monday. We'll say, hey. And I mean, if it is day of, you can charge double. I would not know about double, but you could probably charge a little more. He's already charging a lot. But he hasn't made a dollar yet. He made all these reservations.

He put his credit card down for five different places in three cities. Vegas, Austin, Nashville. He's sold none so far. And just let me ask you this. Do you want to be a business man or a business mouse? Because if you want to be a business mouse, sell them back. can be like and cancel. But businessman comes on the year on Monday and says I still have them.

I don't even call that businessman. You know what I call that? Business baller. Yeah. Think about that. You're going to be a business baller? I'm going to put that in my mind. I'm going to tag that business baller.

Don't. Oh, boy. He's going to put that on the business card. Heck yeah. Don't. What up? Lushbox business baller. Also, for $995 is a service called Love Cloud.

They take couples that want to become members of the Mile High Club up in an airplane and let them do it. Oh my gosh. That's so weird. The interior of the private jet is decorated with red satin sheets. Ew. Pillows. Custom-made foam mattress for extra comfort.

Couples are promised privacy on board the flight, which takes off from Las Vegas. Even with the pilot wearing nose-canceling headphones. I thought it was blindfolds. I'm like, what? No, no, no, that's incredible. And then it's only a sheet that separates. You know that pilot's got one ear pulled back of listening. That is awesome.

That's from the independent. But $995 bucks. $1,000 you go up. 45 minutes. I'm going to hit my wife up, see if she would do it. Okay. What do you mean, see if she would do it? Like, see if she would be down.

We like Vegas? You would pay $1,000 to go up in an airplane a day? Absolutely. To say you're part of the Mile High Club? I mean, come on. The things he spends money on. Like, you're telling me you wouldn't want to be... I'm good.

I'm good. $995 to be able to say, I'm in the Mile High Club. Yes. Do you know what's free? Being able to say I'm in the Mile High Club and not be. being in it. Oh, that's true. No, you just lie about it. Yeah, I'm in the Mile High Club. But why would you should lie? Why do you want to be known as a liar?

Because I don't want to pay $995. Hey, prove you aren't. They probably give you a certificate. I mean, I'll be carrying that around my wall. Just think, you're at the next backyard barbecue. Someone's house like, oh, man, what did you guys do last weekend? Oh, we joined the Mile High Club. Oh, tell me more. Well, we went to to Vegas. The conversations that play out in your head at fictional barbecues are hilarious. We rented a private plane, went up, had some satin sheets and yeah, baby. And you think your wife would be like, yeah, it's true.

Yeah, it's true. No, I don't. I feel like it's more lame if you're like, well, I saw an ad for 45 minutes in the sky. No. Is it more lame or is it more lame sitting on your couch reading a book? Well. Exactly. It doesn't cost $995 to sit on your couch and read a book. And I don't like to fly anyway.

I'll be honest with you. And I don't know that I'm not. I'm in the plane. Yeah, but listen, you ain't thinking about being up in the plane when you're doing that and your thing. I would be. I would be like, oh, we're going to die. But also, when I learn or people, you're not. Like, like, if TNC...

What kind of pilot even flies this kind of plane? Of course we're going to die. Like, or if an article is put out about a celebrity couple that has done this or whatever, I'm like, why do we know this information? I don't need to know about their life. Like, it's not. So why does it matter?

The article's put out so we do know, so they become more famous. Okay. Well, I mean, I'm just saying, but nobody really cares about the intimate details of Lodge Fox. Like, it's not going to make him cooler to know that he did it in an airplane. Do you think people would respect you more? Yes. 100% Well they think it's lame though

You kind of had to rent it No they will not think it's lame They'll be like oh man Where'd you do that? Maybe we'll do that Okay So I think The people that would think it's cool

Would think it's cool If you had your own plane And did it up there Yes Or like you fly private often And that's what happened Not because you rented one Sluck into the bathroom

Like you went to the circus And by I mean people think it's cool When you rent a limo So what's the difference Do they? Do they? Do they?

Do they? I don't think so much. You have... Maybe when I was 12. High school, maybe. Like, we got in when they picked us up when one and how about... That was cool. Well, it's a surprise.

Yeah, exactly. But I would never pay. But I would never pay. All right, well, you guys have your taste. I have mine. That's true. That's very true. Your tastes are rented limos and rented jets.

It's not a jet. It's not a jet. It says jet, but it's not a jet. That's a point, but it's going up. I don't know. What is it? What do you think it in? Yes.

It's like a little propellers. Whatever? It's still my hot. It doesn't matter what kind of playing it is. Man, if you rock that plane a little too hard, doesn't it? Stop. Stop. Stop. You ain't rocking anything too hard. I mean, I'm just saying.

Too much. Now, Eddie's starting to think about it. You guys going together. Hey, you guys going together. No, no, no, no. I ain't going in the same time as Eddie. No, no, thank. Come on lunch. Okay.

All right. I'll let you know. No. We don't want to know. And you won't spend that money to do that. That's stupid. You would not spend that money. You have to fly out there.

then you have to rent the plane you hit something on the slot machine and then you go up in the plane boom then you get a limo home rent a limo back what a day

okay I have this story he lives in fantasy world yes anyway if you want to check it out we'll put that up on our Facebook page

yeah it's it's a prop plane I'm looking at and now Mike Ditch they pull the little door open and then you get in there's no chairs

it's just a bed that's what I'm talking about it's just like a mattress and then I don't even trust the pilot who would be flying that kind of plane either where did they find him

why is he doing this Dude, that looks great. It has a heart pillow, too. Like, love is in the air. Okay, hold on. We'll be back in a second.

Hi, morning studio. Morning. Yeah, so I was just calling in regards to Bobby, when you were talking about how long after being together do you say, I love you, to your significant other. My now husband and I, we started dating when we were 17, and I think we first set it to each other, like in person after six or seven months, I think, I was dating.

And how long until you got engaged after that? We dated for five years when we got engaged and married, and we've been married for five years. Oh, congratulations. The average is about three months. That's when someone says, I love you to some. Amy just shakes her head like that's normal. That makes sense. I didn't say it.

I didn't say it to a single person until Caitlin. I was 39 years old. Well, yeah, but that was deeper. 39 years old. You're what pushes it back. Back to three months. Some people say three months. I said 39 years.

Yeah, but there's some roots to that. In our relationship, I think I said it about seven months. Okay. After 39 years. Yeah, it's amazing. Okay. Because I never said it to anybody. I didn't love anybody.

So that's it for me. I said seven months in a relationship, but I never said it to anybody else. Amy. Four months. It's pretty average. Yeah. Who said it? He did after he proposed.

Oh, that's true. How long until after? Like, walk me through that? Well, he, well, he was part of his proposal, actually. He said, well, after I said yes. So he got down on a knee. Is it weird to be proposed to and have never been told? I don't know.

Listen, he just said he had never told anybody that. And he had been in relationships with other girls, but never had said it. And he just, I had, unfortunately, didn't want to ruin that for him. You're like, oh, boy, boy, I have, I'm five in. I had loved other boys. friends. But he said, after I said yes, he goes, okay, well, I've been waiting to tell you that I love you. I just wanted to make sure I only said that to my wife. And I wanted, if you weren't going to say yes, I wasn't going to tell you. That's sweet. Yeah, that's sweet. Eddie? Two months. We were dating long

distance and after two months she calls to kind of break up with me. And I said, no, no, no, no, don't because I love you. And that's what I said. I told her, I loved her. You loved her to keep her? And then she goes, you do? You really do? I was like, I really do love you. And she goes, okay. She ultimatum to you a couple times. That feels like ultimatum-ish.

Like, I'm gonna break up with you and you say, I love you. Yeah. She was like, marry me or I'm leaving. Yeah. And you said, no, no, no, I'll marry you. She kept testing me. Is that the kind of guy you are? You need to be told? I guess.

You need to be lead to water? Yes, so I can drink, yes. Watch box? Eight months. We were at her house. It was a Saturday morning. We woke up. We're laying in bed.

Oh, my God. I texted her. I texted her and asked her. And she said, and I was talking, and she goes, I said, I love you to you. And you told me, you want me to go pick up breakfast? How many people did you say it to? I guess just her. You used to say he said tons of girls.

No, no. He'd be like, in the heel of the moment? Yeah, he'd be like, well. I'd tell them, I love you. You want to go back to my place? But that doesn't count. I mean, not real. I would just use it as a tool.

A tool. Okay. But my now wife... Because girls you just met are like, oh, you love me. So it sounds like you've changed your story since you got married. Well, no, no. I'm just saying, I thought you meant like genuine, like when me and my wife did it. And she told me after eight months, she said, I love you first.

Is anybody confused still how he did it to his wife? Like, I thought they were like together in bed, but then he texted her. No, no. Yeah, he was like, we woke up. And then I was texted. I just said. But I said it to girl. But I feel like, I love you.

But that don't count. And then I said, I'll go get food. And I got breakfast. Okay. If you guys would listen. Let me talk to Terry in Virginia. Terry, you're on the show. What's going on? Hey, good morning.

I wanted to ask lunchbox a question about some money I found at an ATM store. If he would have had his kid return it or not. I went to an ATM at a 7-Eleven and I took out $80. And when I took the money out, there was 140 there. So I realized that someone had forgotten to take their cash. So I went to the lady behind the counter, and first she wanted me to tell her how much, and she wanted me to leave it with her. And I just told her, if somebody comes back, get their name and their number,

and I'll swing back by in a couple weeks. And so I did. And it was a young guy with a kid, and I met him at the 7-Eleven and gave him at $60. And a couple months later, he texted me and said it was his son's third birthday. and he would share that story with him and teach him to do that and that it meant so much to him. So I'm just wondering, does he not see that it's, you know, the value in teaching your kid that? Or would he have told his kid to keep the money?

I definitely would have kept that money because I would have saw that. I would have taken it and be like, oh, okay, cool. The ATM messed up, gave me extra money. I would never think it was someone just, how do you, like, go to the ATM, get money, and then just walk away without getting your money? I mean, that doesn't make sense to me. That tells me that he got double money. What's happened?

You've gone to the ATM, Amy, and said, oh, here, I'm at $50, and then walked away before you got your $50? How does that happen? I mean, I've done stupid stuff where I just, where I... You drive away, you're distracted. I've driven away without the food before. Me too. Yeah. I have.

Not a lot. Probably not as much as Amy. That's like Wednesday for her. But for me, if I'm in, like, a weird place, I've done something like that before. Not $50. Because really, that guy could just... Chick-fil-A, yes, I think I've driven off of it. He could just contact A guy.

ATM say you didn't give me my money and they would be like, oh, okay, we didn't. They'd give him his money anyway. All right, Terry, this is an argument that you can't win. Not that you're wrong, but you can't win with him. No, I realize. Well, I appreciate you calling. Have a great day. All right. See you later.

Bobby Bone Show. Boney up the day. This story comes us from Minneapolis, Minnesota. A man walked into a thrift store, got a few items in a bag, went up to the counter, pulled out of a gun, said, give me all the money in the register. Got $200 and fled in a stolen truck. ditched it a block away. When police were looking through it, they found a grocery bag,

had his savers card in it. Oh, he got busted by a savers card. Yeah, you know where you get the discounted from register? Yeah, had his name and everything, and so they tracked it down to his house. Yeah. I mean, good, that sucks. You should never leave home without your savers card. You know, good.

I'm glad they got him, but that stinks. Yeah, what a way to go. Okay. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the day. You guys can call us anytime. We're about to leave here, so you can leave us a voicemail. We listen to them.

We place some of them back. Same as our phone number, 877-Bobby. Morning, guys. I have a morning corny. So when you're at the grocery store, how do you determine the price of a red-hot chili pepper? So you grab the pepper, put it on the scale, and give it away, give it away, give it away now.

I like it. Give it away, give it. That's pretty funny. That's a joke for all you 90s alternative fans out there like myself. They just put out a new record. Yeah, they're touring. I saw. I've seen them in concert like six times. That's crazy. I wonder what they're going to be like now though. Like how old are they? 60 probably but I think they probably still go hard. Here is another voice mail from last night.

Good morning studio. So I've been listening to the show and just like the last week or so lunchbox has just been getting on everyone's nerves. But I was talking about it with my mom. She's also a listener and lunchbox is kind of like the George Costanza of Seinfeld. Like you hate him, but it wouldn't be the same show without him. So I guess, Lunchbox, we need you because you're just out of dynamic. So even though I can't stand you sometimes, you know, you're the character that we hate, but we also love. Okay. Thoughts? No, that was a little weird to be called hated in the same breath as we can't live without you.

So really she loves me, but she just doesn't want to admit she loves me, I guess. I don't know. I don't know why people hate me. I just say honesty and people don't like the truth sometimes because everyone wants to do the little soft gloves. oh, let's just pat everybody and give them participation trophies. We're not here for that. All right, next up. Here's the next one.

Hey, Bobby. I'm talking about lunchbox going through these drive-throughs asking questions. That is actually very annoying to us who actually work the drive-through because we have to get customers through these drive-through in a certain amount of time. So him asking questions like that, we'll waste our time and get us in trouble. All right. Thank you. That's good, good point.

Thoughts? Thanks for your that. but I feel like people still enjoy it. I know you're on a timer and you don't really care about the timer because you're more concerned about having a good day at work. And when someone's nice to you in the drive-thru, I think it makes your day better. That makes no sense. I think he does the drive-thus. You guys care about the timer.

Because it's lazy. Like, I'm just going to drive through and do it, not get out and do it. It used to be I don't want to get COVID. Now it's like I just don't want to get out of the car. Yeah. That's what's up today. All right. See you tomorrow.
