You say if you're stressed doing things like knitting
Starting point is 00:03:39 or squeezing one of those stress balls are good for you, and I was reading more into it, like repetitive motions in general, even petting a dog. Because you pet a dog, it's the same thing over and over again. And what it does is that repetitive motion
Starting point is 00:03:54 because it is constant actually makes your brain focus on the consistency of the motion and not on what you're worried. about. Not fully, but that's why they say to do that, because your brain has to focus on the continuation of something. So pet a dog, human.

Starting point is 00:12:32 The Bobby Bones show. You sit on a toilet and all of a sudden something rubs against your butt while you're on the toilet. This happened to a woman. This is wild. This woman sat on the toilet, did not look in the toilet, and there was a rat in there in it, like rubbed up against her butt. No, no, no. A rat's not as bad as a snake, dude. It doesn't matter what it is.
Starting point is 00:12:52 If it's moving. I don't know. I feel like a rat jump up in there. I feel like a snake, like you tries to go back down the hole or something because snake came up to. What do you mean? They're both bad. The hole in the toilet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:02 I was like, oh, dude. I was like, no way. Yeah, yeah. So this woman had a shocking encounter when she discovered a rat in her toilet while she was sitting on. Oh, my gosh. The rat catcher received a call to remove the rodent, which had climbed up the drains and had gotten stuck at the bottom of the toilet. She described the experience that she was screaming. Imagine being on the toilet and something brushes against you.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Can you Matt? You would jump up. I'd scream. Scream. High-pitched scream. Yes. First of all, I wouldn't think of it. The first rub, I only got to think it was real.
Starting point is 00:13:38 What do you mean? I'd be like, oh, what was that? No, you wouldn't. Because nothing's supposed to rub down there. He talks about increasing rat sightings. Oh, my gosh, in a toilet. Snake or rat? Which is worse?
Starting point is 00:13:51 Rat. Snakes! Snake. Oh, my gosh, you guys are idiots. A rat. Because a rat is bigger, and they're both going to, if they bite you. Well, they're both going to bite. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:13:59 The snake could bite you and you not have any disease at all. If a rat bites you, you're going to get something. Oh, I didn't think about that. It's a dirty, dirty, rat. You dirty rat. It could be a poisonous snake, though. Yeah, it could be. 50-50. Dude, that's brutal.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Lunchbox wants to pitch Eddie and Amy for an endorsement. This may be him just looking out for you guys. What is it? It's called the run for dyslexia. Because you guys are dyslexic. You've been diagnosed. And I was driving and it said, coming soon, the run for dyslexia. And I'm like, I've never heard of that.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Everybody's running both ways. And I'm like, stop. Stop. I said, wow, that would be crazy to put Amy and Eddie's face on that and bring so much publicity. Are you trying to be funny? Yes, he's trying to be funny. He's trying to be insulting to you too. But we're not insulted.
Starting point is 00:14:47 I don't know. I would like to run this. I'm not insulted at all. Like, for me, Eddie would like to ner this. I would like to run this. What is it a race? Yes. I'll run it.
Starting point is 00:14:55 It's run. Bobby. We know. It's run. You know, dyslexi is not just mixing up letters. What did you say? I made me laugh sometimes. NER.
Starting point is 00:15:02 It's nobody else. I got it. I got it. NER. I got it. It's run backward, Eddie. Yeah, but we're not reading it, so I didn't catch what you. I know.
Starting point is 00:15:08 It was most stupid. Nerve. Yeah. Yeah, I just figured that they got diagnosed with this disease later. You should run with us. Like, at least we have a reason. Like, we have, like, an explanation for some of our stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:25 What is his excuse? Sometimes I stutter over my words, but that I can still read. And I just think it would be huge that people see you guys saying, hey, look, I got diagnosed with this later in life. it's okay. It is okay. And so I think this would be part for you. Whoever's marketing this run, they missed a huge opportunity.
Starting point is 00:15:42 Why don't you call them today, find it online, and tell them you have a couple people that like to pitch. Okay. Us be the face of dyslexia? Us be the face of dyslexia. Yes, it's them. That's them. It's them.
Starting point is 00:15:52 It's music city run for dyslexia. By the way, I'd like to shout out Eddie and Amy because they've had dyslexia and they've still, they've been able to go around that and still, That's right. Be wildly successful in their careers. We were told we were dyslexic and we didn't stop there. We kept working at it. You were just like three weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah, that's true. So it's not like that. That is not an, you shouldn't insult them. I went insulting them. I thought it was a perfect opportunity to partner with somebody. I'm not insulting. Why would you be insulted? Don't be insulted by your disease.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Because you never do anything. It's not a disease. Is it? Yeah. Oh, no. It's not a disease. Hi, everyone. I'm Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild and

It's Financial Literacy Month, and the podcast, Eating While Broke, is bringing real conversations about money, growth, and building your future. This month, hear from top streamer, Zoe Spencer, and venture capitalist Lakeisha Landrum Pierre,
Starting point is 00:20:52 as they share their journeys from starting out to leveling up. If I'm outside with my parents and they're seeing all these people come up to me for pictures, it's like, what? Today now, obviously, it's like 100%. They believe everything, but at first it was just like, you got to go get a real job. There's an economic component to community striving. If there's not enough money and entrepreneurship happening in communities, they fail.
Starting point is 00:21:16 And what I mean by fail is they don't have money to pay for food. They cannot feed their kids. They do not have homes. Communities don't work unless there's money flowing through them. Listen to eating while broke from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. News time. Bobby's big. Stories.
Starting point is 00:21:37 An eight-year-old takes a vehicle, drives herself 25 minutes. To Target to get a Prapuccino. Oh, wow. She's eight. Wow. This is from News 5, Cleveland. An 8-year-old girl was located inside of a target after she got on a vehicle and drove away. Feet to pedals to eyes to dashboard.
Starting point is 00:21:54 That's tough. How tall is that 8-year-old? That's crazy. This is according to Bedford Police, officers were dispatched Sunday morning after the girl and a 2020 Nissan Rogue were reported missing. Family members at the home said she had been seen around 7 a.m. See, I would have somebody stole the car and kidnapped the kid. not that the kids stole the car and drove to get a Frappuccino. I think the neighbor's doorbell cam saw the girl, like, got her getting in the car and driving away.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And Nissan Rogue is an SUV. Like I was thinking, maybe it was like a little mini-Cooper. No, that's awesome. Feet to hands, to eyes, the dashboard. How do you see over to even drive if you're eight years old? But Bedford Heights received a phone call concerning a small child on Rockside Road driving a vehicle that matched the description of one that was reported missing. They said, hey, look out for an eight-year-old girl, and they found her. According to Google Maps, the trip from her home to Target was about 25 minutes.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That is unbelievable. That's what she drove and didn't wreck the truck. Like a little bit, she should get her license early? Yeah, like take a year off. Yeah. She was able to manage it, not get caught. Nobody got hurt. She proved herself.
Starting point is 00:23:05 So you know what? You get yours at 15 instead of 16 if that's the law. If you continue to keep good grades. The best dates for marriage. Researchers looked at what states have the longest average marriage rates. Lunchbox, you'll take any guesses here? Oh, man, marriage. Tell me what you think the state is and why.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Like, nothing to do. But so I'm thinking like Wyoming. Because there's no other options. There's not as many people. I would say Wyoming has a ton of things to do. They're just not things that you're familiar with. Like outside, climb. I'm saying, if you're going to go hiking, you're not going to meet people hiking.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Other hikers? You're by yourself. Or you're with your, you know what I mean? There's more land to people. Like Vegas, like Nevada, bad for marriage. Bad. So you're going to go with Wyoming because you hike alone. And then Nevada for the worst because you're not alone.
Starting point is 00:23:58 You're always with. There's always something going on. There's parties. There's clubs. There's concerts. On the strip. No, everywhere. Researchers looked at what states have the longest average marriage rates.
Starting point is 00:24:08 West Virginia is number one. For the longest? 22.6 years, the average marriage. In second place was Wisconsin. Vermont, Montana, and Iowa. Damn. Well, Wyoming wasn't on there, but I understand what you're saying. These are states.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Not a lot of stuff. Where there aren't really any major cities. I guess Wisconsin has Milwaukee. Yeah, but still. That would be considered small market in the NBA. But still, okay, I feel you. couples where it's the most difficult what the shortest marriage is. Oh, New York.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Are Nevada. Ah, Bing. Nailed it. Who nailed it? Texas and Alaska. Oh, Alaska. A berry people? What are they doing over there?
Starting point is 00:24:55 Shout to all of our Alaskan listeners. What happens up there? I think it's because they go to the bars a lot in Alaska. But they probably do in Wyoming and Montana as well. But Alaska is also what you think of when you, when you, when you, think of things like Wyoming. Yeah. A woman was traumatized after finding a dismembered rat wedged in her bread.
Starting point is 00:25:13 Oh. Do what? She'd already gone through half the loaf. This is from Metro. Disgusting footage shared on Facebook shows the mangled rat with hair, guts, and tail visible, lodged in between two slices. Oh my gosh. That's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:25:27 Jilil White. Who's Jillo White? Urkel. He says playing Urkel on Family Matters, left his voice damaged for years because he always had to do the character. That's tough. Yeah, sorry. Did I do that? Hold on. That wasn't his natural voice?
Starting point is 00:25:41 No. And then when he got older, older, it started to be weird because his voice had gotten deeper and he had to struggle it out more. Did I do that? But he would do Stefan Rakel and that was his real voice. Because he would get in the machine and he'd come out and he'd be like, hey, I'm Stefan Rakel. And he would fall in love with Laura. Laura baby. And then he'd get back in here, I'm Stephen Arkell. Think about doing that every day for how long? He really wasn't one of the characters on the show. He was going to be a side character. And at the end of the first episode, he comes in for just a second.
Starting point is 00:26:15 But he tested so well. That show then was built around him basically. We loved him. And then everybody was resentable of him on that show. Seriously, everybody hated him? They were resentful of him. I think there probably was some not positive feelings. Dang.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Resentment in general. Yeah. So when you're the star, that's why people resent me. I don't think so. But I think he wasn't supposed to be the star. He was just a side guy. They got brought in and they slowly built a show around him because he kept testing so positively. So many parallels with lunchbox.
Starting point is 00:26:43 And you fake a voice. If you heard lunchbox off the show is like, hello. Oh, I have lunchbox. Man, so what does that dude do now? Like, what did he do after? He never did anything. No, and he hated it and he did not want to be known as Oracle. But he just put out like a weed line.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Oh. He just did? Yes, and it's called like, something about Urkel. Like something with a theme of it, I can probably look it up here. It's called Purple Urkel. Oh. And so now he's at least doing interviews about Urkel. But he was not happy with how he was typecast.
Starting point is 00:27:20 But how are you going to put that, dude? He's only known as Urkel. And all of a sudden, what's he going to play? See, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing to get typecast like that, because you had such a huge run. Like you had a, I don't know how long family. Family Matters was on. 10 years?
Starting point is 00:27:35 I'm going to guess. Eight, nine seasons, sure. Right. I mean, that's pretty incredible, or would you rather just have a little small snippets? Nine seasons from 89 to 98. That's a long time.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Well, you probably, whenever you're up for the role, you want the role because it's a massive role. You don't really understand you're getting typecast until the show gets so famous and you're playing such a specific character. I don't think,
Starting point is 00:27:55 there's only been a few people I've heard of that have turned down roles like in a Harry Potter or superhero movie because they don't want to be known as that forever. Mostly you're just like, wow, this will be a huge role. I'll take it. like Ross like what I mean he's done a tonne actually oh really yeah and also he turned into a big director
Starting point is 00:28:10 like producer a lot of those guys do that Amazon tells workers they must come to the office five days a week Amazon is demanding that its corporate employees return to the office five days a week a significant change from its pandemic era hybrid policy I can't believe people still work from home that's crazy right I mean I can but like that the job has to say you have to come in because there must be be a reason they need to be in. So therefore they need to go in. I can understand like our salespeople. If you're this company, what you've learned from the pandemic is you don't need to have everybody here all the time. You can probably get smaller spaces. Therefore, you're not paying as much rent on a place. I can understand the scaling down in certain situations. But the fact that companies have to be like,
Starting point is 00:28:55 you have to come in. That's crazy to me because you should know if you should go in or not. But I know people that still work from home and there's a lot of downtime. Oh, they just screw off. A lot of downtime. You screw off the whole time. You really should say thank you from the University of New South Wales. Not only is it polite, but a study says if you say thank you, it makes others view as warmer and more affectionate, which then is good in many areas, personal and professional. From the daily male, thousands of women undergo permanent birth control surgeries and are
Starting point is 00:29:22 still getting pregnant years later, study finds. What is believed to be a permanent birth control solution may actually be less effective at preventing parenting. University of California researchers found as many as 5% of women who underwent a tubal ligation commonly known as a tubes tied the tubes tied we had heard they could come untied so then I heard that it was the tube burning
Starting point is 00:29:44 where you would burn a hole and then seal them so it couldn't pass through. I'd heard the tubes being tied could be like and just come untied. What on earth? Tubal ligation is meant to be irreversible and the most common form of contraception used worldwide with more women choosing it than oral contraceptives.
Starting point is 00:30:01 How long from the time they got it to when they got pregnant? Minas 5% of women who underwent tubal ligation. It didn't really give a... What you worried about? I don't know. I thought Eddie's wife didn't... Oh, yeah, we got... Tubes tied.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Yeah, because Eddie wouldn't do... No, I know. He's kidding. He's kidding. What? You're kidding why I go on. How long about you? Well, no, I'm not kidding.
Starting point is 00:30:20 No, I'm saying that's a joke. You're saying that because you got your wife... Yeah, and I don't worry that to be him. Anything to happen. Sure. I don't want that to be untied. You know what I mean? That's what I'm coming untied.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Don't want that. If you hear this sound, that's them coming untie. Go home and ask your wife. Have you ever heard of it? That's not those things. Diddy was taken into custody last night. Sean Diddy Combs was arrested. We're talking about celebrities earlier that we hear stories about.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And now all of a sudden we feel way different about them. This is one. I thought he was already in jail. I didn't because I watched some of the videos he put up on social media where he's like down somewhere in like a beach and he's like, oh, I'm innocent. And we're like, we just watch you kick a girl in the hallway. You're not that.
Starting point is 00:30:58 I don't even know what else you've been up to. I'd also heard many, many, many, many terrible things about him over the years by people in the music industry. But what am I going to do? I hear it third hand. You come on, you say something. You get sued for slander since I said it. But yeah, that had been out. Some of this stuff had been out there for a while.
Starting point is 00:31:17 But again, you didn't know if it was true. Because sometimes the people telling me were idiots too. I'd be like, well, you're an idiot. So you're probably saying something idiotic. But did he not a good dude? He was arrested last night with sex trafficking allegations. No word what the charges are. Did he is in New York to cooperate with feds?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Since last November, he's been hit with 10 lawsuits, alleging rape, trafficking, and other crimes. Feds raided his home in L.A. in Miami back in March. So they got him last night. Did you guys see any footage of it? No. Remember when they kicked in the door for I Leon Gonzalez? Was that his name?
Starting point is 00:31:53 Was that the kid from Cuba? Mm. When they got him? I remember that footage. That was a long time ago. I remember seeing that footage. Yeah, that was crazy. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:32:02 What did he do? He, well, it was family member bought him to the U.S. They were looking for him. I don't remember, I don't remember anything that. But maybe they were out of taking care. I can't remember. I remember that name. There's certain footage I remember, like the Waco footage.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Oh, that's crazy. Like, I remember them in sixth grade going, hey, everybody, sit down for a second because something's on the news. We had Channel 1 back of the day. And they were showing Branch Davidian, Waco. Like, I remember that vividly happening. Like, that was crazy. Remember the footage of them kicking in.
Starting point is 00:32:31 The Ilyan Gonzalez's door. The O.J. Oh, the OJ footage, man. Yeah, Ilya Gonzalez, the boy pulled from the sea off the Florida coast in 99 after a tragic bid to flee Cuba with his mother. The mother drowned. The custody battle between the boys' relatives
Starting point is 00:32:45 in Miami and his father in Cuba divide a public opinion in America. Yeah, he kicked that door. That was crazy. Remember any other footage? What footage is do you remember as a kid? Obviously 9-11. 9-11.
Starting point is 00:32:53 We were a little older then because I was in college, so I had like semi-adult brain then. Oh, the spaceship? Tuttle. Challenger. I wonder if I really remember that or if I just remember clips that I've sent, which is a lot of our memory at times. That's me with half the sports things I've seen. Like I saw that catch. I was like, Joe Montana.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Without like two or whatever. There's no chance I saw that. All right, that's the news. Those were Bobby's big. Stories. I'm going to go old, middle, and relatively new. Way back in the day, I went to a Bush concert. I was in high school.
Starting point is 00:33:28 It was Bush and Goo Goo Dolls. And there was this really crazy band that opened up. And I was like, man, I don't know if I can watch this. Because they were all over the place. But they were so good. But the lead singer kept climbing all over everything. Like climb up really high. Then I started to get nervous that there was going to be a death.
Starting point is 00:33:43 But they were so good. And turns out it was no doubt. Gwen Stefani opened up and no doubt opened up for Bush, which they ended up dating and getting married. Yeah. So I was like, wow, I'm a big fan. It was before their first song. and I wasn't a big fan, but I was like, wow, I need to like see what's up.
Starting point is 00:34:00 That's cool. Yeah, that was cool because that was like the first time I saw somebody live and was like, I think I'm a fan. Mostly it was like, I like them. Let me scrape together some money and go to a concert. Second was I went to a, as I heard festival, I'm sure. First time I had seen Cody Johnson live. I'd heard a lot of songs, and songs are good, but you never can't get a true live
Starting point is 00:34:23 vibe until somebody plays live. And he just dominates a microphone, a stage without having to do much. Like the opposite of Gwen Safani in that he doesn't climb anything. And I was like, Cody climbed something. He didn't need to. Like I saw Cody Johnson and I was like, oh, he is so legitimate, like in every way. Like, that's why this dude has made it. So Cody Johnson would be one for me as well.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So Gwen Stefani, Cody Johnson. And then one from in here that it's not like I felt like he wasn't going to be good. Because I felt like he was good. and the songs are good. And I'd also worked on a singing TV show for four years. And I know you can't go on one of those shows and succeed. If you're not good to pretty good. But who surprised me at being really great with Scotty McCreary?
Starting point is 00:35:06 Like, he's really good. And so I think those are my three that when I saw them, like I did not have an expectation or I didn't know who they were. And they just punched a hole in the wall. And so when the question was asked to me, that's who I said. It was no doubt. Scotty McCreary and Cody Johnson. Not that I was an anti-fan, I just didn't know.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Amy. Yeah, mine's more when I became a fan of someone back in 2005. On a blind date, I went to see George Strait. And I wasn't interested in going to the opener. I just wanted to get there in time for George. But the guy that I was going with, he's like, no, no, I like to go and see the whole thing. So we went early and George's opener that year was Dirk's Bentley.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And that's the first time I heard any of his stuff. and I instantly became like a big dirt fan. It's got a Jenny in Minnesota. Hey Jenny, you're on the show. What's going on? Morning studio. Morning. Always wanted to do that.
Starting point is 00:36:04 So it was, I think, more like 10 years ago, a friend sent me a text message during the day and asked if I wanted to go see Lady Gaga on a Wednesday night at the Excel Center in Minneapolis. us and when I we went there we went early to find our seats and it was going to be way up in the top and a worker asked if she could help us find our seats and we said oh we're over here and she said no these are your seats and we ended up being nine rolls from the floor and she I knew some lady Gaga songs but after seeing her life she was phenomenal huge fan now and it was the best
Starting point is 00:36:46 concert ever been to lunchbox didn't you see lady Gaga and Tony Bennett Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett in Las Vegas, and it was phenomenal. Blown away? Blown away that they could, A, that that dude could sing when he was that old, and that Lady Gaga could sing like that. Like Sing, sing, not her just jumping around like in a meat dress. Like, she just stood up there in a nice dress and sang. I was like, wow, never knew that could come out of her. Who's yours?
Starting point is 00:37:11 Mine, Rockfest, 96, in Dallas, Texas. I went with Lauren Meltzer and Krista Kiki. and I was like, I don't care. It was no doubt. Bush, Blink 182. I was like, man, I'm kind of bored, kind of bored. And then some band came out called Collective Soul. And you want to talk about, I can't even tell you a song they sing now, though.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I can when you're done. Go ahead. But that place went crazy. And people, they were rocked at the stage. No, it was, I don't know who. Was it a festival? It was a festival. It was like a radio station event.
Starting point is 00:37:44 It was at the Dallas Motor Speedway. and they were just bands coming on and like, no doubt went, and Bush went. But when Collective Soul went out, I've never seen the energy in a crowd change so much. People just throwing things, and the band was just everywhere. And I was like, wow, that was awesome.
Starting point is 00:38:00 No idea what they're singing. I was like, I'm going to become a big fan. Probably never listen to their music ever again. Ray, will you pull up Collective Soul because I'm going to sing some of them? Do you know this song? Whoa. Heaven let your light shine down.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Oh, yeah, I know that one. Oh, nah, nah, na, na, na, na, no, no. Yeah. Oh, that's them? Yeah. Or that's hard to do with the music playing in the back. It's like, how does the world I know go? Oh, because I want them on.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Jill, I said you think I am. Don't think about. Don't speak a doubt. Yeah, I don't know what the crowd loved about them, but I mean. They're awesome. That's why. Bears were flying. I mean, it was wild.
Starting point is 00:38:40 And I was like, that was energy. I thought about those guys in a while. That's good. Eddie, you? Yeah. So when we first met in Nashville, I had heard of this singer. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:48 I didn't know what all the hype was. But I was watching. We went to some show. And I think Florida Georgia Line was playing. And they said, we want to invite this friend out. She's a good friend of ours. Here she is. Taylor Swift.
Starting point is 00:38:59 And she came out and she's saying Cruz with him. And I'm like, oh my goodness. She is awesome. And that's when I fell in love with Taylor Swift. And I became a Swifty. And then like a few months after that, I was at CMA Fest. And she came out with Tim McGraw and sang, a highway don't care.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I'm like, dude, this girl's good. Good. I understand the hype. Yeah, I love Taylor Swift. Of course you're going to pick Taylor Swift. Is he a Swifty? Have we ever... I'm a Swifty. Hey, so when she was here at Nees-on, you went?
Starting point is 00:39:27 No, man, I couldn't afford those tickets. Okay. You all right? See this? I'm saying, like... Right. What? Okay, you want to do more of this? Hold on a second.

Listen to Mind Over Mountain every Thursday on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, gorgeous. It's Lala Kent, host of Untraditionally Lala. My days of filling up cups at sir may be over, but I'm still loving life in the valley.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Life on the other side of the hill is giving grown-up vibes, but over here on my podcast, Untraditionally Lala, I'm still that Lala you either love or love to hate. I've been full on over sharing with fans, family, and former frenemies like Tom Schwartz. I had a little bone to pick with Schwarzy when he came on the pod. You don't feel bad that you told me I was a bootleg housewife? I almost flipped a pizza in your lap. Oh my God, I literally forgot about that until just now. Sorry, I don't want to blame alcohol.
Starting point is 00:42:13 I got to blame that one on the alcohol. This is about laughing and learning when life just keeps on life in. Because I make mistakes so that you guys don't have to. We're growing, we're thriving. and yes, sometimes we're barely surviving, but we do it all with love. It's unruly, it's unafraid, it's untraditionally Lala.

The problem I have with Eddie's story is that Taylor was already wildly famous, and she was doing her very last country album when we moved here, Red. And he's like, it was the first time I even, I thought her name was Mailer Swift. Didn't really listen to her, man.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Didn't know her songs. Didn't know what she was all about. People were like, oh, she's so great. Didn't know it. I've never heard once Eddie say anything about loving Taylor, ever. Ask my kids, they know I'm a Swifty. Never. I agree, lunch, watch.
Starting point is 00:44:57 I agree. He's pandering here. Let's go to Nikki in Massachusetts. Nikki, you're on the air. Hi, good morning studio. Morning. I have two bands or artists that I wasn't super big on until I saw them live. The first one is Dirk's Bentley.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Yeah, Amy's too. Yeah, Dirk's is great. What else you got? The Brothers Osborne. Yeah, they're awesome. Oh, yeah. And they rock. I mean, that's like a rock and roll.
Starting point is 00:45:26 show too. Like it's high energy, you know, grungy guitars, still country music. Yeah, they're brothers Osborne go hard. What'd you like about them? I saw them in a small venue. It was a bonfire local to me and they were just really good. Their energy was great. They were engaging with the crowd. It was just a really high energy show. That's cool. That's cool. You saw him way back in the day too. That's always cool. It's like the person, yeah, man, I saw Cole play once at a laundromat. No, you didn't. Shut up. Nicky. We believe you, though. Thank you for calling. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:59 All right. See you later. Let's go to Susan and Little Rock. Susan, you're on the Bobby Bone Show. What's up? Hey, mine would be a little big town. My husband bought me tickets for a concert. I can't even tell you who they were opening for, but they came on and I totally lost it. I just thought they were amazing.
Starting point is 00:46:22 That's how you know they blew the doors off. She doesn't even know whose concert it was. she just knows Little Big Town went out as the opener, and that's all she remembers. Yeah, they're really good, right? Like, their vocals are so strong. Awesome. I mean, they were just great. And, of course, it also helped it.
Starting point is 00:46:38 I'm from the Air Base area in Little Rock. And one of the leads and one of the guys is went to school at Arkansas State. Or lived on the base. Yeah. And he's from school at Arkansas State. Who's that? Can you name the four members of Little Big Town? Yes, Karen, Kimberly.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Tommy. No, no. Phil. Philip and... You got it. Jimmy. Why would you tell him? He's in the middle of trying to do the game here.
Starting point is 00:47:05 No, I knew. I knew. You didn't know. You were not going to get that. Jimmy, good dude. Phil's from Arkansas. Philip? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:11 That's cool. And Jimmy is married, too? Karen. Okay. Yeah. I didn't even know that was right. I was just naming names. He thought he was trying to mess me out.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I don't know. Let's go over to Tim and Lake City, Florida. Tim, you're on the show. Hey, how y'all doing the day? What's up, buddy? I just want to tell you guys about the first time I saw Old Dominion. It was really awesome, intimate concert in St. Augustine amphitheater down here in Florida. My now wife surprised me.
Starting point is 00:47:43 It was our first concert together. Probably wasn't the hugest fan of them before going. But after that, man, they put on an awesome show. They did like a little singer-songwriter thing, told us a bunch of stories about how they wrote their songs and what hits they wrote out there in the country music world. and it was just all in all a really awesome show. That's the cool thing about Little Big Town is they are all individual, all prolific writers, and they have written so many songs for other artists, so they have a lot of number ones, but they also get to come out and go,
Starting point is 00:48:12 we wrote this for Kenny, we wrote this for Thomas Red, and that's fun, a different part of it. Those guys, you ever said video of them playing in like a bar, like a dance, like an electric cowboy type place because it's a bar and a dance hall, but there's like one person in the crowd. You ever see that in the early days? Was that like back in the day? Well, it's not from yesterday.
Starting point is 00:48:29 It's like, dang, man. Yeah, it's from way early on and nobody was there. 2010. Wow. And they're playing in this, again, like an electric cowboy or whatever the version is where you live. There's always one of those. It's like a country place that also play some hip-hop. After hours.
Starting point is 00:48:47 Yeah, it's like they play Hank Jr. And they also play Nelly. But they're playing that. 2010 to a crowd of two at the Wild Horse in Tennessee. And there's nobody there except two people dancing in the crowd. That's why you should. keep dreaming lunchwalks that's wild keep dreaming buddy and when there's only two people in the crowd
Starting point is 00:49:03 you actually keep playing yeah yeah well you're getting paid oh yeah so you keep playing so you get your paycheck yeah at that point you'd probably give up no you well yeah but you get your check that night at least yeah keep playing there all right thanks so a few more of these these are calls for people who went to an artist not really expecting to like them but they were blown away and now they're fans I do want to talk to julia in georgia who's on the phone hey julie what's up So I've probably got a four or five concerts a year,
Starting point is 00:49:31 but I won tickets in February to the T-Pain concert. And it was by far, like I would pay to go see him probably every time he came to Georgia. It was by far the best concert I have ever been to. Nobody sat down the whole time. It was so much fun. Think about T-Pain. You know, you used the harmonizer, the voice fixer forever. But if you watch him sing now on TikTok, he's one of the greatest singers that exists in the history of singing.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Really? did that as an element of his production that would make him stand out. He now does these stage shows with like three instruments, just like a horn, a guitar. One of the best singers I've ever heard. Really? And now he's just proving that he actually could sing, but he was also producing his stuff too. And so that was just a way to separate. You know, the first person ever used like a voice changer in a song that was a hit?
Starting point is 00:50:20 Sure. Correct. Believe. Oh, 1999. Do you believe the Lord of the love. Good trivia there. Let's go to Carrie in Pennsylvania. Carrie, who blew you away when you saw him? Then you became a fan.
Starting point is 00:50:32 More. We had gotten tickets because we were like $25 each and we're like, why not? We liked them. But when we went, we were definitely going away. He's just very good with his crowd. Genuinely, a kind person. And it was a great show.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Yeah, Justin's really good. Jessica can sing too. And he does the whole. He's got a bunch of hits. And he had hits a long time ago as well. And you're like, oh, yeah, I forgot about this. Yeah, Justin Moore shows a good show to go to. Like Billy Curring.
Starting point is 00:50:58 That guy has so many hits. He's also a really good singer. But you're like, oh, he sings that one. Hey, girl. What's your name, girl? He has like 20 of those things. Banger after banger. I want to do Dave in South Dakota.
Starting point is 00:51:14 Dave. Hey, guys, how's going? Hey, Dave. So, I went to an REO speed playing concert, and I was already a big fan beforehand. But I tell you what, these guys, I mean, they've been doing her for, what, 30 or 40 years, Kevin Crow and Dave Amato, and they kept on a concert.
Starting point is 00:51:34 I heard yesterday they were breaking up. Really? Yeah, like they're doing. Yeah, not to kill your story. I know. Because I'm sure they were great, but I heard yesterday they were done. But go ahead. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:51:44 So my story is I actually got fired from the place I worked at because they sent me to the concert. Wait, they sent you to the concert, and then you got fired because you went to the concert. They sent you to? Yes. I'll need more context, please. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Yeah, okay, so I worked at Grand Falls Casino. It's in Marchwood, Iowa, just a few minutes east of Sioux Falls. And throughout the year, they throw concerts, different venues come out there. And this was an outdoor concert that they put on, and all the employees got tickets to go to it. Well, they didn't explain this very well. I worked in surveillance. So I was supposed to kind of stay hidden from everybody because I also had to write up the employees of the company too, you know? Someone was stealing from the floor, so I had to watch for that.
Starting point is 00:52:30 Well, anyway, I got tickets to the concert, went to a concert, awesome concert, loved it. Was walking in, the clock in, and HR stopped and says, hey, we ever talk to you real quick? Well, he sat down and talked to me and said, because you were mingling with the employees at a function, that's a violation of your contract, we got to let you go. I thought it was going to be something like he got on stage and, like, flash the crowd. Like, that sounds like something, you know, if it's in the rules, I thought it was like, yeah, I was singing her. heard it from a friend and I just pulled my junk out. Well, I guess it was worth it though because he found out how awesome they are.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Hurted from a friend who, heard it from a friend who, heard it from another you've been messing around. Hey, they did break up. They got to stop touring. Irreconcilable differences. The old classic, we don't like each other. We don't get along anymore. Other songs, Mario.

Starting point is 00:54:51 Bobby Bones Show. Bonehead. Story of the day. This story comes to us from Baltimore, Maryland. A man got a speeding ticket by one of those speed cameras, got him speeding, took a picture, sent it to him in the mail. He's like, huh, I don't like these speed cameras. So he went around the city and started stealing them. That way other people wouldn't get busted.
Starting point is 00:55:11 You can reach them? They're higher than... Yeah, they're up. You have to climb up? I know. Some of these were in like little boxes on the street. Oh, wow. Yeah, those would be easy to steal.
Starting point is 00:55:21 He was stealing them, but the only problem is they were taking his picture when he stole. And probably uploading him to like a cloud. not just sitting in the camera. Dang, got them. I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead Story of the Day. So your kids doing intruder drills? Is that like if somebody comes in with a gun?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Yeah, at schools. We used to do tornado drills in Arkansas. I don't know why. We did earthquake drills for like one day. Just in case. And like one grade, one day. But we did tornado a lot. But we never had to do intruder because school shootings weren't a thing yet.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Yeah, we didn't have that. And so for my kids, it's the norm. they sent an email encouraging us to talk to our kids before it happened. And so we did. And my son's just like, okay, yeah. And then they did it. And he said that he just instinctually, he showed me kind of how he was standing, like with his leg up and his arm, like on his knee, like, ready to do something.
Starting point is 00:56:17 And he said, they told us to kind of sit down patiently a different way. He goes, but instinctually I just was sort of up. And I was like, oh. But it also just is heartbreaking at the same. time that this is even something that they're having to process. They turn their desk over or anything? Like in a shootout? He didn't say that part, but. They didn't do, we didn't do into drills. We did this thing, though, once. It's crazy thinking back. It was like a haunted house at Halloween. I told you guys this. They took our church group and it took us through what was
Starting point is 00:56:44 quote unquote a haunted house, but in the haunted house, people were like dying of AIDS. Oh, yeah. That's terrible. I know. So, oh, dude. But you're never going to forget that. Like scarred from it. I remember walking through and there were these different rooms. I wish I could remember the name of it. But we went through the different rooms. In the first room, there was a guy waking up. And he was like, huh?
Starting point is 00:57:05 And he looks up and there was some money like on the ground to like insinuate that it had been a prostitute. And he looks up on the mirror and she had written in the mirror, I have AIDS. And he's like, no. Oh my goodness. Wild. And at the time, it's just church just took us because it was the church that put it on. And I'm like, wow, okay, I guess I should. Never have sex with a prostitute because I get AIDS.
Starting point is 00:57:30 I don't know what they're thinking. I don't know what they're thinking, man. Thinking back about that. This sounds less traumatizing than that. Yeah. Okay. Well, I hope. Also, I'm surprised there's not an idiot kid who, like, brings a water gun.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Like, they're shooting the intruder. No. Yeah, no. And I don't know that it always equates to. I should ask him, like, how they present it. Oh, they don't have, like, an intruder walking around? No, I don't think it's. No, they just go through, like, protocol of where to go,
Starting point is 00:57:56 what to do how to act. He looked in the mirror and it said, I have a AIDS. It's like, no. Remember it so vividly. Crazy. Bye, buddy. Bobby Bones. The Bobby Bones show theme song, written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry.
