Hope everybody's good. Coming up later. We're going to play never going to get it. You guys want to practice one to get your mind flowing? Yeah. On average, Americans think it takes 13 minutes to do this, and it annoys most of us. What is it? We won't drag this one out, but about an hour or so we'll get a caller on and play it.

But on average, Americans think it takes 13 minutes to do this, and it annoys most of us. You guys are good? If you get it, I give you a dollar. I got it. Well, I need you all to ride it down so you don't steal an hour. Everything I'm thinking of takes way long. You can win a dollar or if you're sure you have it, you can bet me $2. No.

Okay, so it's up to you guys. No. Everybody in? Yeah. Morgan, what do you have? Washing the dishes. Lunchbox? Cool down the car.

Eddie? Washing the dishes. Amy? Waiting in line. Anybody feel so sure about it? I mean, the fact that both of us got washing the dishes, I'd say yes. You know, bet $2? No.

But if we both get it, is it $0.50 each? No. It's a dollar if you got it. The answer is, 13. minutes is what people feel like is being late. The answer is being late. Yeah. And being late is socially unacceptable.

We got a more fun one coming up, but nobody got that one. That was a tough one. That was a tough one. Speaking of washing things, Amy was telling me they have an all-in-one washer and dryer now. My mind is blown. Talk to me. Now, if it really does a good job doing both, that's great.

But if it's like shampoo and conditioner in the same bottle, that never works as well. It's like a shampoo and a conditioner. You're right. So what did you see? I can't speak to how well it works. but my sister was telling me about it, and she said that, yeah, you put it all in and you press all the buttons to make it wash.

And then, suddenly, when the water goes away, it turns into a dryer, and you press those buttons, and it starts drying the clothes. It also doesn't make sense we haven't had this already. It's not... Totally. It's a hovercraft. Right.

It's just a... I know. Like a drum, you put clothes in, and you feel like you can wash it and put some... I say that. I have no idea how a washer or drawer works. I don't know how it works, but... But, yeah, I'm surprised this hasn't been a thing,

but that being said, if it is a thing, that's amazing. Yeah, I mean, if this is the future, I'm here for it. And the worst, the worst. W-O-R-S-T, capital W, was having to go to the laundromat. We had to do it a lot of my life as a kid. We didn't have a washing dryer, and they had to do it in college some too.

The worst, you just hang out. And there's no AC. You just sweat and people fight over the racks to hang. Oh, the laundromat was tough. Anybody having to deal with laundromat now? Like I empathize, I feel you. I ain't doing it anymore. But that was a tough.

years for me. What are you going to say? You ever like go back and you took a little too long and somebody took all your stuff out of the dryer and put it on the table? Oh, like took it and put it out. Yes. Yeah. I thought you meant like took it like stole it. I was going to say no.

It's kind of understood. Like don't take people's stuff even if they left it in there. Yeah, no one ever stole it. I would just take like maybe two hours to go back and they'd get my stuff and put it on the table and like great. It would just be piled up because everything was full. Okay. Well, if we can find it, maybe we'll link that up on our stuff. The washer and dryer all in one.

Sounds pretty awesome. Lunchbox, you want to try it? Yeah. You do the first level? Yeah, you ready? Go ahead. It's time. It's pretty good.

That's pretty good. All right. Okay, you're on it. You're on it. Hey, so is it lunch? Lunch, you, me? Yes. Yeah.

No, it's... Yeah, it's me, Bobby, Eddie. Okay. Go. It's time. It's time. Oh, my gosh. Eddie, you go a second. Okay, go.

Go lunchbox. It's time. It's time. It's time. It's time. I don't know, hit the glow You send an email And we read it on the air

It's something we call Bobby's Mailback Yeah We won't do that anymore But fun little experiment All right here we go Hello Bobby Bones I have an 8 year old daughter Who absolutely loves to sing

She's almost constantly singing Some sort of tune We have encouraged it her whole life Because she's had so much fun The problem is the older she gets the worse it gets She is seriously tone deaf It's painful to listen to Of course at home, we just enjoy being serenated, but she started to get picked on at school for singing.

My problem is that she asked me to sign her up for the school-wide talent show, and I don't know what to do. I don't want her to get in front of the whole school and embarrass herself, but I don't want to crush her dreams either. Please give me some amazing parenting advice. Signed a supportive, not so much, parent. This is what I say. Sign her up and let it go. Sign her up and let her sing. Let her learn the hard way?

It's not even the hard way. Just sign her up You don't ever want to hold someone back When they can actually go out and try If she goes out and she doesn't like her experience Then she'll stop herself I don't think you should stop her if she has the ability to go out and sing Sign her up

Let her go do it I think you can put her in singing lessons I think she can find out her own way If she wants to not sing Who knows she might have some other talent and music That she needs to discover by singing poorly And maybe it's not even poor Maybe she just doesn't know how to sing yet.

Sign her up. She needs to do this talent show. If she wants to do it, let her do it. Encourage her. And when she gets off stage, give her a big old hug. And you don't have to say, well, that was a great vocal performance. Be like, I'm so proud of you. You got up and you did that.

She can learn so much by just getting in front of people and performing. So that's what I say. Sign her up. If she can't sing right now, let her learn herself. Amy? Well, yeah. I mean, I think shutting this down, that she could carry that with her the rest of her life and she might not pursue other things that she wants to.

That, again, like you said, could lead to X, Y, Z. So I'm with you. We got to sign her up. Eddie? I think that you guys are halfway there. Go ahead. You also have to have an honest conversation with her that say, hey, I don't think you're there yet, but it doesn't mean that you can't get there.

But she's eight. She's not competing. I get it. But she says she's getting worse as the years ago. So you have to encourage her and be like, hey, let's work harder. Let's work. I don't think you're there yet. What if she is working hard?

But I don't think is not encouraging. You can do straight encouragement and be like, hey, we're going to get better. The don'ts. Leave the word don't out of it? Well, that's not encouragement. I don't think you're good. That's not encouragement. But it's like, hey, if you want to sing, we got a lot of work to do because to be great,

it takes a lot of work and a lot of effort. That's it. That's good. You've got to have that conversation with her, though. I don't think we say work harder. She's also eight. She's eight. Let her sing.

She'll figure it out. Let's hope Eddie's not in this position. Oh, I've been in this position. And you said, he don't play that sport anymore. Oh, no. His call? Yeah, his call. After you said what?

No, after I said, hey, if you're going to do this, let's go 100%. It doesn't sound like that's what you said based on how the first part of this conversation started. And, yeah, he doesn't play that story. Supportive parent, go be supportive. She's eight. Let her sing her brains out. She really won't even start developing that voice until she's 12 or 13 anyway, like her real voice. So we support you supporting her.

That's the mail bag. We've got your email and we've read it on the air. Now it's about to close Bobby's mailbag. Yeah. Why I lick the spoon when you can drink the whole cup, it's indulgence straight from the mixing bowl with Sonic brownie batter and yellow cake batter shakes. Hand mixed and made with 100% real ice cream.

Try one half price in the app for a limited time, only at Sonic. So here's some audio from Lunchbox. We were coming back from our IHard Country Festival in Austin, Texas. We had to go to the airport, do the thing you do, go through the metal detector, whatever that is. Wait in line, maybe get a Starbucks, but the line was so long because it was in the morning. Get on the plane, fly home. The lunchbox went to the TSA and asked if they had a what? Special entrance for celebrities.

Oh, boy. Well, I mean, guys, usually when you go to LAX, special entrance. Usually, have you ever gone through a special entrance in your entire life for a celebrity? No, but I see other. celebrities do it. And have you ever seen actually seen it happen? No. Okay. But I see it on TMZ. Here is clip number one. So this first

clip, are you in Nashville? Yeah, I'm leaving. I'm heading to the festival. Okay. Excuse me, sir. Question for you. Is there like a special line that you're like a special entrance? Like when you're checking in, when you're a celebrity, you're supposed to tell them instead of going through the regular TSA or is there like a special door that you go through?

Not that I'm aware of. Yeah, I just didn't know if you guys had that because, you know, when you're waiting in line of a celebrity, you know, you're not wearing your ask that's like, oh, there's a celebrity, and then everybody wants to take a picture? Yeah, not that I know it. Okay. I didn't know if you, you know, because you know how like when you come in like, oh, you know, paparazzi so some celebrities get through special interests, I just didn't know how to ask

for that one next time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I have no idea. Okay. Thank you, man. If you have to explain to someone that you're a celebrity, are you a celebrity? But he said it four times. Yeah.

The same thing. So you said it again in Austin? Yeah, then this is in Austin. Okay, here we go. Excuse me, ma'am. Question for you. When you're coming through when you're like a celebrity, do you have a special line for us? This is not my airport. Let me ask my supervisor. Okay. I didn't know if you knew that.

Say that again? No, they do not have a special line. Oh, you know, because like an LAX, you know, when those celebrities go through, you know, they take us through a special entrance. And so I was just wondering, you know, like here, you know, do we get that treatment or do we have to go through the normal line with normal people? He said the normal line. Oh, man, it's awkward. You know, when you go from the special entrance at L.A.X, like I'm used to come in here and just. feels a little like, you know, L.A. more celebrities. Yeah. And that's, yeah. And that's, yeah. There might be paparazzi here sometimes when I come through.

So I just want to make sure there's a way I could avoid him. He said no. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. She wasn't even curious. Oh my gosh. I know. Nobody has been like, what's your thing? Yeah. What do you do? So here's what I was told. And I'll just tell you. Eddie, Eddie said, hey, you know what lunchmarks wears a mask on the airplane? I was like, I don't know. I wears one, why people wear masks. So maybe they don't get COVID.

But that's not what you think. No, that's what I thought. I thought he was trying to be safe and like, you know, it's cool. Whatever, I respect that. But when we landed and got into the car, he rips his mask. He's like, ooh, good thing I wore that mask. Dude, I just feel like if I didn't wear this mask, people would recognize us. And then, you know, people would not let us go.

We'd have to take a lot of pictures. And I'm like, you wore the mask because you thought people were going to recognize you? He said, yes. What about in the plane when you're already in a seat and you're, you know, way up there? Still, they'll be waiting for me when I get off the plane. But you don't think with all of us, were you all in the same flight? Yeah, we were all in the same flight. You don't think with all of us around you, they could have put the clothes together that it was you?

And by the way, why didn't stop Amy? She wasn't wearing a mask? Also, isn't that what he wants? He wants attention. I think that's what he says. But here's the thing. When you're up in an airplane, you don't want to be talking to people, you don't want to deal with it. Oh, you might have I take a picture?

I'm just trying to take a nap, people. And that happens to you? Yes, all the time. and oh, you know, if I don't have my mask on, they're going to be fighting over who wants to sit next to me. And I'm like, man, I don't want Randos sitting next to me. And you don't think that they would have stopped Amy before you? No.

No. Are you kidding me? Bobby before any of us? Well, there you have. Yeah, so that's why I wear a mask. I didn't wear a mask. And at most, I was probably stopped three times. Exactly.

See, three more than you want to be. I mean, geez, what a hassle. It's such an inconvenient. No, it was actually fine. People called me, hey, I'm big fan of the show. the picture. Yeah, sure. Move on. It wasn't like there's, anyone

was getting trampled. I mean, it could happen that way where there's a, you know, when they say don't line up at the front lavatory, it's going to be don't line up at lunchboxes seat, please.

Walk them back home. Well, one day, Slick will not walk anymore. Like halfway through the walk, Slick stops and just kind of. it digs in. And so like, come on, Slick. He will not go. And they're like, okay, what is it? So Slick starts to walk toward a house.

And so Slick saw him. They ran over to him. He was a Vietnam veteran. And they're able to get to him, call the ambulance. They got into the hospital and he was okay. Wow.

But had the dog not seen him and, like, kept pulling them that direction. who knows what happened to the guy. Yeah. It says the neighbor had suffered a stroke and it spent all day crawling through the house and out the front door trying to get out of the house for somebody to see him.

The question is, you see it all the time on TV, but most Americans say they've never found themselves in this situation. What is it?

That is you're never going to get a question. Let's put on Jeff in North Carolina, who's on the phone. Good morning, Jeff. How's it going, buddy? Good morning, Mr. Bobby. Good morning. Morning. All right.

We got Jeff here. Got chance to win a prize. Jeff, here's the question that you get to answer yourself. You see it all? all the time on TV, but most Americans say they've never found themselves in this situation. What is it? So think about that. Now, you're going to have multiple chances to win, Jeff, but you get it by yourself first.

Oh, wow. See it all the time on TV, but never find themselves in this situation? I don't know. Okay. Well, just throw an answer out there. I don't care how right or wrong it is. Okay. Being without toilet paper.

Okay. pretty good answer. No, that's a good one. That happens all the time. Every show I watch. Every show. I think he's singing commercials. That is not the answer, but I appreciate you giving me something there, so that's incorrect. Now, you can still win if one of the show members get it right. Oh, I got it.

Now, your options are, Amy, lunchbox, Eddie, or Morgan. I know Amy's usually pretty good at his game, and I know Eddie's pretty good at it, too. That's terrible. Lunchbox, I love you, but I don't know, man. Sometimes you're not right on. Well, I'm on this one. You're on this one? Yeah.

I think I'm going to go with Miss Amy. Okay. By the way, I don't think Eddie's ever gotten one. I've never ever gotten one. I just think you win most games, so people think you're good at this. And Morgan's actually pretty good at this. Okay, here we go. Amy, you have yours.

You see it on TV, but most Americans say they've never found themselves in this situation. What is it, Amy? In a helicopter. Okay. Lunchbox. In court. Eddie. Hanging on to a side of the building.

See it all the time. Never done that. What? Morgan. A witness to a crime. Okay. So. It's not bad.

Jeff went with Amy and yours was in a helicopter. Yeah. That is terrible. Watching a lot of Magnum PI. Yeah, like, what are you watching? MASH? Hey, there's always a helicopter. The Bachelor.

Oh, that's right, The Bachelor. What else so? Okay. Breaking Bobby Bones. True. Okay, there's two. That's all you watch us, yeah. Oh, Bob, when you were on with surviving with bear.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Okay. He did it. Probably in both. Amy, you're wrong. Okay, well. You're wrong. You're just horrible.

What was his name? You're just wrong. Jeff. Not Jeff feels dumb now. Sorry, Jeff. All right, Jeff, so here's your final chance to win this. He still can win. Okay.

I'm going to give you a yes or no question. It's 50-50. Do you think one of the other three got it right? You can say yes and you have all three of their answers, or you can say no, and if they all miss it, you win. Yes, I think one of them got it right. Yeah, you're right. You think he's right? Yeah, absolutely. It's it, me or M2. You don't think mine's right?

No, yours is dumb. Okay. Hanging to a side of the building. Do you see it on TV all the time? No, you don't. That show. Name me a show. You see it all the time, but most Americans say they never found themselves a situation hanging on the side of the building. Wrong. And stupid, yeah.

It's so dumb. That's why I never get it. All right, well, we're down to two. Man, I think I got it. You do? I do. What's yours again? In court.

No, everybody goes to court on TV. Every show there's a court case. I think a lot of Americans go to court. I don't think a lot of Americans go to the courthouse right now. And Morgan's is similar, though. It's like, right? Yeah, they're a witness to a crime. Say I in this room if you've been to court.

I? Been to court. You haven't been to court? You haven't been to court? Just to see Eddie's kids get adopted. Yeah. That counts. That counts.

You've been in court. No. What do you mean? That doesn't count? No. No. You got to be tried for a crime? Yeah. You've got to be in court. I've also been in a court room as a juror.

That don't count that. Okay. Then I wouldn't say everybody's been tried. Okay. Morgan. Yes. Yours is wrong. Dang.

Yes. What up, Jeff. You feel so dumb, don't you, Jeff. It's not you. Hey, Jeff, I'm going to give you a chance here to back out of this. Jeff, no. It comes down to lunchbox. He either has it, and if he gets it, you can win,

or if you say I do not believe in lunchbox you can win. I don't believe the lunchbox got it. Okay, so you're going to go against me three times. You, I mean, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice. Shame on you. That's not what goes. I mean, this dude, what was he going to win?

What was he going to win? Because he just lost. I mean, I'm kind of feeling like if there is a court scene, there's also probably a helicopter scene and a hanging from a building. Okay, you have to stop fine for the helicopter. And Eddie's. There's no helicopter. There's no hang outside of a building.

Even if you try to get out of the courtroom? Oh, Jeff. I feel so bad for you today, man. What would you like to say to Jeff before I give you this answer? Jeff, I try to tell you from the beginning, I'm on this one. And you were like, man, I don't know. You're an idiot. And you went with Miss Amy.

And then you said, no, I don't believe in lunchboxes. One day you're going to realize that you need to listen to me when I speak because I speak truth and I speak knowledge. And I try to lead. You can lead a horse to water. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't teach you to drink. Right, Bobby? Make a drink. Yeah.

All right. Jeff, you've chosen. I give you one more chance. Do you want to go with lunchbox or stay off of him? I'm going to stay off. You better get on me, Jeff. Is it? No, you want him on you.

Yeah, you better get on me, Jeff. At a boy. All right, so, here we go. If the answer... Oh, it is. It already is. It's court. Lunchbox wins and Jeff loses.

If it's anything other than court, Jeff wins a $50 dollar Sonic gift card. Oh, that's awesome. Jokes on Jeff. He ain't going to Sonic. And we'll give lunchbox the card. Yeah. Most Americans said they've never found themselves a situation.

What is it? The answer is being a physical fight. Lunchbox you lose. I'm sorry. Jeff is a winner. Nice job. Yes, Jeff. Yes, sir.

That fight, you got to go to court. No, you don't have to go to court if you're in a fight. Jeff is our winner. Lunchbox is not the winner. Jeff, we're going to give you a $50 Sonic gift card for playing. So thanks for playing. Where do you live, Jeff? I live in Farmville, North Carolina.

I just want you all to know that I used to go to court at least once or twice a month. I'm a retired police officer. I thought I was going to admit to some trouble here.

I saw that you have posted announcement saying you're coming on the show and that The Rock had liked it. Yes, sir. On your Instagram. Yes. How do you know The Rock? Dude, it's kind of weird.

So, you know, The Rock has real Nashville roots. Like, super Nashville roots. So he was like, I think he went to McGavoc. So he just keeps his, like, finger on the pulse of Nashville. Like, he's just, like, engulfed in the culture. And I think, like, a song of my randomly came up on his place. It's like the most random occurrence ever. And somebody reached out.

I was like, yo, the Rock's going to post a video with one of your songs. I was like, please don't play with me. He was like, don't do that to me. I swear to God, this was like four or five years, six years ago. And he sure did. And ever since then, we've stayed in touch, man. He was the first person to congratulate me whenever I got invited to the Grand Ole Opry.

And he congratulated you how? He sent me a voice. He sends like the voice memo. That's like his thing. You got a voice memo from the rock? Yeah, yeah, for sure. I want to play it, but I don't want to be that guy. Yeah.

I listen to it every now and then to pump myself up, though. It's like my pre-workout before I go get drunk because I don't work out. So right before I go to a bar, I'll listen to like a voice memo from the rock, and be like, let's go! Jelly Rolls with us, let's talk about for the audience that hasn't come across your music yet or who you are. Like, what's up with the name Jelly Roll? So I'm obviously looked apart, and my mother named me that whenever I was a little chubby kid. I've been fat my whole life.

And she started calling me Jelly Roll when I was young, and I spent the next 30 years trying to grow into the name. I think I've done it. And yeah, it just stuck. And then I had a guy in high school that Joe. He didn't know that was my house name. And his name was one-arm clay, and you won't believe it, but he had one-arm. And one-arm clay was like, we should call you jelly roll.

I'm one-arm clay and you'll be jelly roll. My mama calls me jelly roll, and then once the high school starts calling you something, you know, that's the kid in caboodle. And so when did you start doing music? I started writing songs whenever I was like seven or eight. In the words of Brantley Gilbert, I didn't know I could sing, but I knew I could talk fast. So I wrote a lot of raps.

What did it for me was my mother, My mother, strove, first of all, my mother follows this show, and she only follows like six people, and I don't even think I'm one of them. I think it's like my three aunts, some dude that she shouldn't be following that has a six-pack in the Bobby Bone show. So if you want to put me on y'all's Instagram, that'd be fired. We will. We'll put you up there. But, yeah, it just kind of came that way. So I do want to play some of this song because it's such a good song.

This is called Son of a Sinner, and I'm going to play it for you now from Jelly Roll. So it's kind of a different approach from you from what I've heard. Like, this is very emotional. You're singing. I mean, it's a country song. Like, why create this song in this way? Well, I had a record. I've always wrote very cathartic music.

My mother struggled with addictions and mental health issues when I was younger. She's a totally different woman now. But Bobby, she would listen to music and it would change everything. You know, she'd put old records on and smoked cigarettes and that old moo-moo and sit at the kitchen table. Just white trash as could be. Just singing along to Bob Seeger or Wayland Jennings. And I just remember thinking, man, I want to make music that makes people feel like this music makes my mother feel.

You know, had my mother had help from a doctor, I might have been a surgeon and had a six-pack and been called Slim Totem or something. But it just turned out the other way. So I've always kind of wrote real songs for real people's been my goal. And the country thing was just kind of me leaning into my roots. I was born and raised right here in Nashville. You know, it's every kid's dream in Nashville to some sort to be a country music artist. And it just kind of happened organically.

Me and Ernest were in the studio about as high. a hippie. About three sheets gone and picked up a guitar and there it went. When you played the opera, I think it was the end of last year, 2021, right? That'd be a special moment, especially growing up here in Nashville. Yeah, it's like not only the historic side of country music, but it's the side of like driving by there my whole life. Dude, I remember the grand old opera house from the screaming Delta demon at Opry Land. That is old school Nashville talk. Before that whack mall was there, that mall sucks. Before that mall was there, it was a theme park.

You know what I mean? So we would watch it from the theme park, dude. I just remember as a kid just thinking, man. And yeah, it was just like a dream come true on all fronts. Did your family think it was super cool that you were performing in that circle? Oh, yeah. Dude, my mother came. My whole family came.

It was a white trash bash, dude. We were all there. Everybody wore their Sunday best, man. You should have seen it. I bought a sports coat. It was big, dude. It was a big deal, man. My daughter got dressed up.

It was huge for us. We don't dress up like that for funerals or weddings. I mean, it was that big of a deal. Were you nervous? I'm nervous now. This whole thing is unreal. I'm a kid that was spent most of his juvenile life in jail. Dude, you are the Joe Rogan of country music.

I am sitting on this is, I am here. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, do you think I'm nervous of all this? You know, I don't want to cuss. But yeah, this is all. My nervousness makes me want to start spouting out of the mouth. What is it about now that, I mean, because you're, I'll just say you're kind of blowing up more mainstream than ever.

Like, what is it about this chapter of your life that is created? this for you now? I think it's the 10-year overnight success story, right? It's the kid that slept in a van and did 230 shows a year for $100 a show. Dude, I used to open up for a pack of bubble gum and a bag of bud. You know what I mean? So it's like, I think it's just years of writing a thousand songs and thousands of songs and just kind of coming here.

And I don't know, I think it's getting the opportunity to sit in places like this and tell my story that's probably helping the most. Because when you look at me, you probably don't expect to hear from me what you hear. So what is your story? I mean, if someone said, hey, man, we're thinking about doing a book with you, right? You considering it? I, well, let's hear your story. Okay.

What is, and, you know, you can tie it up a bit, but what is your story that you think inspires so many people? I want y'all to be clear. Bobby Bono just signed me to a book publisher deal on this show, y'all. So in a nutshell, I'm from Antioch, Tennessee. I grew up in a middle, lower-class community. My father was a hardworking meat salesman. He ran a meat company called D. Ford O'Sale meats. It's our family name.

on the society book bets. My mother struggled with addiction. I was the youngest of four. I never controlled the radio. That's the reason that I make the kind of music I make now. And at about the age of 14, I started making a series of decisions that would lead to what we call the revolving door of the judicial system. And I spent probably 12 years in and out of that system, probably nine years in, three years out, you know. The old do a year in, three months home, two years in four months home kind of thing. And I won't even talk about the crimes because I don't think there's no glory in them

and I'm not proud of them, but it is a part of my story. And it's also too many to list on this show. But I yeah, man, I had a Damascus road experience in the old Baptist term. On May 22nd, 2008, I was at CCA on Hardin Place right down the street from here. I was in cell

223 and a guard knocked on my door and it told me that I had had a daughter. And I knew that I had heard that I had got a young woman pregnant during one of my outs or ends, I guess, in that case. But when I was back in jail, the baby was born. And I just remember thinking, man, you know, I had a good father. He was a hustler, but he was a really good man. And I was like, I want to be a good father, you know.

And I didn't have any skill sets. I'd never had a job. I'm still to this day not qualified to do much more than talk to you and sing. And I was like, well, I know I can do music. So I came home and started selling CDs all. of spindles and mixed tapes out of trunks and doing shows and you know selling a bag of bud here and there when I had too but I got away from real criminal nefarious activities and yeah it's kind of led to here and now I'm sitting here at the Bobby

Bone show you know ready to talk to lunchbox about drinking tequila are you a big tequila drinker oh goodness is that the drink oh boy listen it's like when you blow the whistle of a dog hears and he's the only one in the room that hears it can we are we shooting some you got some not this early now. Morning time. He gets excited. He's like, oh,

good morning. I thought this was where you busted out the bottle. Like, well, coincidentally, the rock's sending some terra mine. I was going to be like, yes. You have a lot of face tattoos. I do. How many on your face? I never counted.

Should we? If I'm guessing, well, some of them connect, right? When you have to commit to your first face tattoo, is that a big decision? I was too young to commit to anything when I did that for what it's worth. What was the first one? I think I had the cross and the tear drop at the same time when I was one of my eyes. stints on a state-funded vacation. Oh, you had them done in prison?

Oh, yeah. I didn't seem safe. No, no, no, but it's the safest thing there. You think that's not safe. You should see the stuff that happens in prison in, Bobby. Let me tell you, that right there is grade A safety, buddy. Let me tell you, that would pass the commission. The CDC would approve compared to the other stuff happening in there.

Well, you have a rose up near your, above your left eye, and that connects down to, what is that? It's a heart with a locket. And at this point, you've seen it so many times, is probably just your face, right? Well, I see it backwards, too. So, you know, you got to think, when you're telling me something,

I don't know what side, what's on. You have one that goes down. Bobby Bones is reading me. Just for the audience. Listen, I'm being red right now. I want to describe karate. He also has one that's like a straight line going down into his left eye

and it comes down below all the way down. Yeah. What's the word above the eyebrow? My son, Noah. Okay. Yep, yep. And this is ignorance on my part, but we've always heard that the tear drops,

like if you have a tear drop, and it's not filled in. Well, I'm just asking, I don't know. Ignorance, you can teach me. If it's not filled in, you attempted to kill someone and were unsuccessful. If it's filled in, it was a success. No comment.

That's why you don't ask like that question. I'm joking. I'm joking. He goes in jail now. I'm being facetious. Minor for the tears, we never forget we shed. See? Powerful. Glad I asked. Jelly rolls in studio, which by the way, he is.

Yes, yes. Which, by the way, Dead Man Walking, number one rock song. As of today, I thought that's why we're shooting tequila and you muff the punt. Son of a sinner. Most added, Dead Man Walking, number one on the rock chart. Do we have a clip of that, Ray? Same album. Here it is.

And would you consider yourself first and foremost a hip-hop artist? No, no, no, dude, I consider myself a singer-songwriter. I guess I just knew you from doing hip-hop first, though. I know, ain't that crazy? And it's you being a hip-hop artist, and then. the rock stuff and now the country stuff, but I think that's the attitude. Like you're just creating based on what you feel. Just make real

music for real people. I call it therapeutic music Bobby. It's just important. Some music's meant to be heard and some music's meant to be felt. And I hyper-focused on making music that people can feel. You know, it's kind of the Willie Nelson effect. I'm a, but I'm a big jovial guy in real life, you know, kind of a hippie. But Willie wrote the saddest songs, and I feel like that's kind of where when I get in that studio, my wife calls it my confessional booth. It's kind of my therapy.

Do you ever confess to something? And she's like, I didn't know that. No, no, no, dude. We're best friends, dude. I can't surprise that woman with anything. I wish I could surprise her. We've lost all surprise. She helps me find boils on my butt.

I mean, we're as close as you could be. What? Boils on his butt. Like, they're so close, she'll look and find them. Okay, got it. Thank you. The watch. The watch is screaming at me.

Why, thank you. I was hoping it would. Is that real? Is that real? Yes, sir. Well, no, in case somebody wants to hit me in the head later. It depends on who's asking. I mean, that is a watch and it looks loaded

with diamonds. Yes, sir. Like that is... My wife bought me this. Back to her. Shout out to my wife, Bunny. I love her to death. And your wife's name is... Bunny, B-U-N-N-N-I-E. And is that, is it like Jelly Roll Bunny, or is her name really Bunny? Her name's Bunny. Yeah, she was Bunny before me, so... You ever think about

changing your name officially to Jelly Roll, so it could be your legal name? I've thought about it, but I just, I don't, you know, I don't like going... I don't like paperwork, you probably could imagine. Yeah, I've considered making bones my real middle name so I can use it or if I run for office. Right. And I can officially use it.

When you run for office. Can I be a running mate? Do I get a book deal and an offer to be a running mate at one show? I'm blown away by this, man. This is more than I ever expected. What are your live shows like? Incredible. Okay.

Man, let me brag for a second. I'm a humble guy, but man, we turn that thing upside down. It is, the live shows cover everything from old classic rock. to hip hop to country to soul. We do a little Motown in there. I mean, it is an incredible show. It's a live band, two guitars, bass, DJ to keep the old school hip hop element alive and well.

More of an MC than a DJ, but he'll still scratch a little bit here and there. Drums, we do it right, adding a steel player this year. It's going to be fire. You're adding a steel player? We are. That's awesome. We got a full-blown country album in the works, baby. This, you know, make no mistake, it looks like a tote tap,

but I'm going to do a cannonball in the country music bubble. I'm on the way. I'm belly flopping. I saw that you and Brantley are doing some shows together. One of my favorite dudes on earth. So how did Brantley Gilbert? I guess he got in touch with you and said, hey, come do some shows with me? Yeah, he called me one night, which was like the craziest call ever.

But I kept hearing around town, hey, man, you need to meet Brantley Gilbert, man. Y'all look like y'all get in trouble. And I love people I'll get in trouble with. And everybody kept telling him, hey, have you met Jelly Roll? Y'all should meet. And he finally, you know, I guess the word of traveled, he called me and said, hey, I want to do some shows next summer. And what's crazy is I had done a podcast with my wife a couple years earlier. And I was like, when it comes to doing shows, I think artists missed the old school approach of like doing it for people and doing it for the exposure.

So I was like, this was two years ago, my wife's podcast, three years ago I said, if Brantley Gilbert Kid Rocker Shinedown called me, I would not even ask what the amount of money was. I'd say, yes, I want to go on tour with them. And I'm literally doing 30 dates with Shine Down this year and like 10 dates with Brantley, That's cool. Yeah, it was just a complete manifestation. So I'm looking at you and you're in black and you got the chains on and the face tattoos and the bling. Do you know we've met before?

Oh, yeah. No, I see you. Listen, I tried to make them turn the golf cart around and chase you. But we've met, and I didn't want to say. I've met Jellywell playing golf before. Yeah, I was fixing to say this is the most memory I have. I was with Steve Hodges from Sony. Right, and he's like playing golf on a nice course.

Yeah, yeah. I didn't want to blow up your spine and be like, I've seen jelly roll playing at a nice golf course. Oh, yeah. So are you a big golfer? Well, I'm big in golf, but I'm not a big golfer. I'm not a good golfer, but I really enjoy anything. I enjoy anything that you can have a cocktail at 9 a.m. and people don't judge you. And golf is that sport.

We've all been out there with an old man that ordered a jack-and-coke at 8-15 in the morning. Nobody says nothing to that old man except that's awesome, right? That only happens on tour and a golf course, you know? When I saw you, you're with a big record guy. Were you guys talking about this project now? No, we're just living life. No, I was already, I'd already sign with a broken bow at that time. And we were just, you know, I love Hodgist, man.

He's a good dude. And, you know, I've got a, you know, just good dude, man. He's fun to golf with. We play good together. And I'll also gas him up and get him drunk on that back nine. And I think people intentionally bring me out on days when they want to get loose. Whenever you have to go to the golf course, though, you know, it's tucked in. You got you nice.

Because I saw you looking like a golfer. Yes, sir. Does that feel foreign with the collared shirt? Oh, yeah, I'd never look goofier. Yeah, I've never looked goof here, man. I'm telling you, I don't wear a collar church for nothing but the opera. I didn't even wear them to court. How many times do you think you've been to court?

Oh, 50. Easy, 100. I couldn't even imagine. If we get serious for a second, what would you say to a kid now that's listening to this at 14, 15 years old, that maybe is not growing up in the most ideal situation and has to make some tough choices right now like you did. Man, if we can get serious about that subject, we're doing a show later in Nashville this year, big show.

and I'm donating 100% of the money from the show to help build a music program in the juvenile here in Davidson County, and I'm matching it with my own money dollar for dollar. So you're raising money and then matching the money you raise. Yes, sir. I believe artists need to start stroking a check, man. I hate when artists just want a fundraise

and they don't want to reach in their old precious bank account. Put your money where your mouth is, you know? And why is that important to you? Because I think these kids, when I was in juvenile, Bobby, nobody ever came to talk to me that I understood. Right? God bless them, the Gideons would come and they'd slide a Bible under the door. And I appreciate that because I read that Bible a thousand times.

And they'd go, God bless you, young man. But, you know, it was an 80-year-old dude with a suit and tie that was disconnected by a door. Nobody comes through and gives these kids hope. And I've been to the adult prison and I've been to the juvenile prison. The adult prison is full of a bunch of grown men who need to figure out a way to break a cycle. The juvenile is full of a bunch of young kids that don't think they know any better. They don't know any better. You know, and I'm a big advocate for justice reform because when I was 16,

I made a decision that I'm not proud of, but ended up getting charged as an adult. And here I stand in front of you 20 years removed from that decision. I'm not allowed to carry a firearm. I'm not allowed to vote. I just had to fight tooth and nail to get a passport. I'm missing millions of dollars in Canada that I'll never be able to go get. Because of a decision I made 20 years ago. I was 16 years old, dude.

I mean, I don't know if I can say this, but I hadn't even started sprouting hair down there. You know, and here I was being charged as a full-blown ad. I couldn't buy a pack of cigarettes, but, you know, I didn't buy a pack of cigarettes, you justified my criminal act is enough to charge me as an adult. I'm super passionate about that. These kids need chances. They need to see outside of their environment. I have people right now, Bobby, that are from my neighborhood that never left my neighborhood.

They watch the Tennessee Titans on TV, and I call them now that I'm successful. I'm like, I'll take you to a game. They're like, no, I'm cool. I'm like, you know that stadium's 11 minutes from your house. Never seen it. They don't know anything past that environment. Nobody ever comes through and tries to help these kids, man. And that's what I'm the most passionate about.

And that's what I want to help with the most. And I'm going to put my money where my mouth is when it comes to it. What about your kids? How do you plan to be a good dad and use what you've been through as an example to your kids? My daughter is almost, she'll be 14 this month. And her mother had got into a bout with heroin and had a rough addiction. And we ended up getting custody of her, her and my wife, eight or nine years ago. I have my daughter all the time.

she flies out on weekends. I mean, I've seen her this morning on the way to school. I'll be the first thing she sees when she comes home from school. And to me, parenting is just about honesty. You know, it's just about being really honest and having an open dialogue. These kids are exposed to stuff so much faster than we were because of the internet. Do back whenever I wanted to get a little risky, I had to go put together pieces of magazines. Right?

You know, I had to go find them in various spots. You know, these kids are exposed to so much stuff. And to me it's just about being honest and having a dialogue. My daughter is like, I call her my little road dog. That's my little homie. You know, that's my little best friend. And we talk like that. And every now and then you've got to be dad, you've got to growl and show your teeth.

But ultimately, it's just about bringing her along the way and keeping her as close as you can and just kind of watching it grow. Sounds like honesty is a massive part of who you are. Yeah, 100%. Lunchbox has met me outside of here. Same guy that's sitting here, same guy was there, you know. Where did you guys meet? Softball.

We played softball together. and we drank a lot. We did. It's factual. I was excited to bring this up. You play softball, you play golf. Where are you doing the equestrian?

Dude, I'm an oversized. Listen, I am an athlete and an alcoholic's body, Bobby. I'm trying to tell you, man, I had a bomb, didn't I? I had a stinger,

dude. I had the most famous bass hit in celebrity softball history. I was one of the celebrity games. I thought you guys went like a secret league or something. No, no, we played on Tuesday night. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and we bowl on Wednesdays.

Come hang out. We'll talk about that book. Jelly Rolls here with us. Again, congratulations on Dead Man Walking. Thank you, sir. In the number one song, it's great. Son of a Center, again, most added at Country Radio, and you have a whole country album coming out.

I do. Yeah, me and Brantley have been writing a lot, me in earnest. I got some stuff in the kettle pot, man. I'm cooking, baby. We're going to play Son of a Center now. But, man, just appreciate you coming in. You know, I think you have a great message. I think you can speak to the people that you want to,

to speak to, and again, you're probably one of the only people that can, you know, because unless you come from something, you almost don't want to listen to people lecture you. You know, I'm from a very small town in Arkansas, and it's like people don't understand unless they've experienced it. Right. So I appreciate your message, and I think you're probably reaching a lot of people when others can't. So, and you had to go through a lot to actually get that message and gather those tools. But man, it's good to see you here. I feel good. Dude, I'm a huge fan of the show. My mama's a fan of the show. We're all like, this is a big deal, man. We're keeping up with the, the big acting debut and I'm looking forward to drinking with lunchbox again.

I'm totally in the know of this show. This isn't, I didn't do research on the way in. I literally, I seen Luke Combs sit in his seat and I was like, we're getting close. I'm bigger than Luke, but it looks like he's comfortable in it. So now that I'm in it, I feel great and I'd love to come back and talk again. And one thing you're always going to give from me, Bobby, for better or worse, it's honesty and real. And I do want to be a voice for the voiceless.

I do want to help the people that, you know, the music's here to help. And I think that's what music did for me. To this day, music helps me through my darkest moments. We got three minutes of songwriters to change the way people feel or to ride with them in the darkest moment or the best moment of their life. And I take those three minutes more than I'm more serious than I take anything else in my life. I appreciate that. And at Jelly Roll 615, if you want to follow him.

because I don't like my steak rare and I like steak I don't eat a lot of red meat but when I do it's beef But I don't like mistake rare I like it I've started to say now I like it a little more than medium Wait is that what I say Because there's medium and there's medium well right

Yes And if you go into the medium well area They start to go Are you sure But I like it a little more than medium I don't like any pink at all And so when you cut it Sometimes I would see like blood come out

Or the red stuff That's not blood The bloody look if you get it Like even less medium rare Is a result of the protein Whenever that mixes with oxygen It turns red. Really?

So it's not blood. It's not, and it never looked like straight blood, but it was so red. I would be like, oh, that's weird. We always call that bloody. Interesting. Because it looks like that. I don't like that rare stuff. I asked for A1 under my breath at every sake place.

And they don't like that. Well, it depends. Like, if the waiter's kind of a hillbilly and he understands like me. He's already got one in his pocket. In Austin, we went and we had dinner. And went to a pretty nice place. It was the only place on open table we could get into. We didn't actually know how nice it was until we got.

got there. We were way underdressed. So they put us in like a corner. I think so people wouldn't see us. And I was like, hey man, do you have a, can I get some, can I get some A1? And he said, yeah, I felt that. It was kind of like I was buying drugs. Except I'd never bought drugs. I felt like that's what it would be like. And so he brought me A1, but in a secret little tub.

Nice. And it's good. I love A1. That's where it's at. Here's Amy's pile of stories. So there's this kid, he's in college now, but he's sharing a story from when he was in case it might help save someone's life. He was eating cereal dry. It's the only way he likes to eat it. No milk.

Can't handle it. It gets too soggy. But he was inhaling it pretty fast. And a piece of cereal, like, went down his throat, kind of struggled to get down. And he had a chest pain for about 30 minutes. But it, you know, sort of went away. He didn't think anything of it.

Well, then his dad ended up getting this crazy ear infection. It was going to the ER. So he said, hey, buddy, just come with me to the ER, because let's get this thing checked out. Like a bogo? Like buy one. Two for one. And a piece of cereal, he inhaled it, and it went and punctured his lung.

And it was in there. And he ended up being in the hospital for five days. So what's the moral of this story? The moral of this story is don't inhale dry cereal. But I think inhaling anything. I eat dry cereal all the time. Exactly. But I don't eat with a bowl or a spoon.

I just eat it with my hand. Like owes? You guys like owes? Oh, so good. Been a bit. Honey o's. The greatest hand cereal ever. Yes.

And so, but I don't want to do this when I eat it. Did you know lunchbox thought that there was only one hole that went down your throat? Oh, no, there's two. No, it's a throat. No, there's two. But there's the food and water hole. And then there's the air hole. And that's how, if you go down the air hole, that's how you can injure the lung.

See, because everybody's always like, oh, that went down the wrong hole. And I'm like, there's only one hole, guys. You think there's just one big throat hole and everything just goes, like, Yeah. Okay. Okay. Hey, I don't hate you for it. But there are two. It's just weird to me how the body knows which one to send it down.

Yeah. It is very weird. It is like they're two trapped doors, which one? Okay, so just take time when you eat. Is that what you're saying? Yes, don't inhale. And then if you feel something going wrong, just go get it checked out to be safe. Because who knows that?

Because we hear of things that get stuck inside people for like 30 years. So good thing is dad had to go to the ER. Yeah. The trachea. That's right. That's the air one. It's the air one, yeah, the tracheas. And esophagus is the food one.

And they're right beside each other, lunchbox. Huh. You truly didn't know. The esophagus connects the throat to the stomach. That's like that driveway. That's that highway. And the other one is the lungs. Man, because I only feel one.

You know what I hear right now? Dr. Bobby Bone's coming out. Oh. This is a premed. Stop. Stop. Stop. All right, what else? So if you're trying to choose a baby name, I saw some tricks.

And one of them is pretty clever. and it's called the Starbucks trick. Pretty much if you're testing out names, next time you go to Starbucks instead of using your own name, use the name that you're thinking about naming your kid and see if they can get it right. And if it's too complicated, then, you know, you might want to forego that one.

Can they pronounce your order? How do they react when they hear the name? So this is being dubbed the Starbucks trick. And then I saw the Social Security Office put out a list of, like, baby names that are coming back in style from back in the day, like Mabel and Clementine and for boys like Valentino. Interesting.

Well, all the old names are becoming new again because we haven't used them on a long time. I'm a big fan of Herbert. I'll be honest with you. That would be Herbie too, right? It'd be Herb, Herbert, Herb, Herbie. I like Herbert. I think that's a good name.

You've run that one by Caitlin? Nope, because you won't like it. Sure happened. Reba McIntyre shared an update on her Oklahoma-based restaurant. It's going to be called Reba's Place. She announced last year that it was going to be happening, So it will open later this year, and she's been testing out things with the chef. But you can expect things like steak, cheeseburgers, beans, cornbread, chicken fingers.

And she's super excited for people to come to Oklahoma and check out Reba's place. But where in Oklahoma? The whole state? No. No. And be like, where's Rebus? Atoka. Is that how you say it?

I don't know. I guess. It's at 319 East Court Street, Atok. Hey, you want to know where about us? Hey, well, there we got it. I made me. That's my file. That was Amy's pile of stories.
