1. Life in the Country

Bobby Bones opens the discussion by contrasting his life in the country with his previous urban experiences. He humorously remarks, “When I first moved here, there were four skyscrapers. A year later, there were four. And then the show Nashville happened,” highlighting the slow-paced nature of rural life.

Ray Mundo probes deeper, asking, “Do you feel like you start to get to know everybody and you're kind of all, like you're constantly seeing the same people when you go places?”

Bobby Bones responds, “Definitely. The grocery store lady knows me. We're friends with the Amish people. The whole town is basically my wife's last name. So there's a relative on every street corner.” (03:02)

2. Small-Town Drama and Anecdotes

The trio shares amusing and quirky stories that exemplify small-town dynamics:

• Bobby recounts a local drama involving a neighbor who experienced a bad breakup and kept his trailer on the property. “That's the current drama. Oh, like, hey, move your trailer off the property,” he jokes. (04:48)

• They also discuss an incident where a llama and a goat caused a stir by running onto the interstate. Bobby laughs, “There was a llama. You can look it up online. And it went on the interstate... cops are out there. Just a massive thing to happen in our small town.” (05:35)

3. Pets and Wildlife

Bobby Bones and Ray Mundo delve into their lives with pets, sharing both endearing and concerning anecdotes:

• Bobby talks about his cat Piper enjoying the warm Nashville weather: “Piper now, because it's finally 70 degrees in Nashville. So she's on the patio, she's got her little outdoor tent.” (07:07)

• He also shares a touching memory of their late cat Pablo being threatened by a falcon: “There was a guy that lived with our Laura's aunt, and he was gay... he broke up with his dude. So now Piper, we got to watch out. Falcons, hawks, bald eagles are our nation's animal. Watch out. They're going for the cats.” (07:22)

• Ray shares his encounter with a raccoon, humorously referring to it as a “little trash panda,” and discusses the challenges of keeping pets safe from wildlife. (09:15)

4. Intrusive Thoughts and Personal Experiences

The conversation takes a more introspective turn as Ray talks about his struggle with intrusive thoughts and a bizarre out-of-body experience:

• Ray describes an elevator incident: “The vertigo was like, this thing is a Christmas tree right now. I did it, but I don't know why. It was like I was out of my body and watching my body do this and I couldn't stop it.” (27:42)

• Bobby reflects on his own intrusive thoughts, especially related to his busy work life: “You have intrusive thoughts where hey, have one more, get to 6 or 7, your buzz will be a little bit better.” (29:24)

• They discuss coping mechanisms and the impact of these thoughts on their daily lives, blending humor with genuine concern.

5. Show Preparation and Behind the Scenes

Bobby Bones offers insights into the preparation process for the show, emphasizing the meticulousness required:

• He explains, “Every single day, we put out more newspaper articles in the New York Post. Good gosh, man. We gotta be,” highlighting the effort to maintain engaging content. (31:07)

6. Life Updates and Future Plans

The hosts share personal updates and future aspirations, adding depth to their on-air personas:

• Bobby and his wife Laura discuss their decision to freeze eggs, planning to have children later in life: “We’re not having kids for 15 years... Our hands are full, guys. No kids.” (49:12)

• They humorously contemplate the logistics of raising children at an older age, blending lightheartedness with genuine planning: “We would raise these kids right in our 70s.” (50:03)

• Ray talks about his own experiences with pets and shares anecdotes from his time with Remy, emphasizing the joys and challenges of pet ownership. (49:30)

7. Navigating Urban Challenges from the Countryside

Living in the countryside while maintaining connections to urban settings presents unique challenges, which Bobby and Ray explore:

• Bobby discusses the convenience and frustrations of services like Uber Eats in rural areas: “I feel bad for those people. I love them so much.” (24:35)

• They touch upon the balance between enjoying country life and dealing with the occasional urban inconvenience, such as wildlife encounters and service delivery delays.

8. Reflections on Entertainment and Pop Culture

The hosts segue into discussions about their favorite TV shows, movies, and actors, revealing their cultural interests:

• They reminisce about classic shows like Lizzie McGuire and Heart of Dixie, showcasing their nostalgic side and shared cultural touchstones. (45:25)

9. Ethical Dilemmas and Integrity

Towards the end of the conversation, Ray presents a moral scenario regarding missing drinks at a restaurant:

• Ray describes a situation where he and his girlfriend realize their drinks aren’t listed on the check and wrestle with whether to inform the bartender or leave without paying for them: “We ended up paying it, but he only made us pay for one drink when we told them, so we still end up getting one for free.” (39:35)

• Bobby humorously debates the ethics, emphasizing the importance of honesty: “Don’t have to. It's a hometown hookup.” (40:02)

• This segment highlights their values around integrity and the practicalities of navigating such dilemmas in everyday life.

[A.J. Jacobs]

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, French dressing.

Oh, that's good.

[Bobby Bones]

The Best bits of the Week with.

[Morgan]

Morgan Part 1 Behind the Scenes with.

[Bobby Bones]

A member of the show.

[Ray Mundo]

Welcome to the weekend, everybody. Ray Mundo is joining me. What's up, Ray?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there it is.

[Ray Mundo]

Way to start our Saturday, of course thanks for being here. We're going to just kick things off. I need to have some updates on life in the country. Cat, dad. Life, all the things that is the.

[Bobby Bones]

Beauty of country life. There's really no updates. Nothing happens in the country.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, but like, when you say nothing, are you at least doing something? Or you just go home and you just chill on the front porch and that's all you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, when I say nothing, I tell lunchbox. The skyscrapers change every day. When I first moved here, there were four. A year later, there were four. And then the show Nashville happened. And there now, all of a sudden, there's 20 skyscrapers. It's almost like New York City and Nashville.

[Ray Mundo]

Are you sure there's only 20? Have you counted the big ones? More.

[Bobby Bones]

I say the ones that stand out.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And I know that because there's a mural at my gym and there's four skyscrapers, and I look outside, there's way more than four. But in the country, there's no skyscrapers. The same businesses that were there 30 years ago are still there.

[Ray Mundo]

Do you like? Because at a later point in this, I'll mention a show I've been rewatching that I love, but it's very small town centered. Do you feel like you start to get to know everybody and you're kind of all, like you're constantly seeing the same people when you go places? Or do you hang out with enough people in your little town? Enough to know yet?

[Bobby Bones]

Definitely. The grocery store lady knows me. We're friends with the Amish people. The whole town is basically my wife's last name. So there's a relative on every street corner.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it. So you guys already kind of know people.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's one degree of separation any direction. Usually I go to the golf course, I'll see a cousin. I go across town to another golf course, got a cousin working a lot of cousins in where I live.

[Ray Mundo]

Is there like drama that happens and you get to catch up on it? It's kind of tea, small town, little happenings.

[Bobby Bones]

Only drama that's happening is us.

[Ray Mundo]

You know what I mean? Like when there's. It's such a small town and everybody knows everyone, I feel like that's when stuff starts to happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

At least that's how the TV shows make it. So this is why I'm asking.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, there's definitely drama. I mean, there was a guy that lived with our Laura's aunt, and he was. He was gay. Awesome guy. We actually partied with him and hung out with him and he broke up with his dude and it was a bad breakup. And so I don't know if it really mattered to the story that he was gay, but I guess for me to say that he broke up with his dude. So then you knew what I was saying. And so then there was a bad breakup. Well, he had pulled his trailer into my aunt's place and they broke up a year ago and now he's dating another guy. Trailer's still there. So that's the current drama. Oh, like, hey, move your trailer off the property. We're cool with him. But maybe that's at the height of it right now.

[Ray Mundo]

Say. See, I still like it. I hearing the fun small town drama.

[Bobby Bones]

And then there was. There was goats and an ostrich and a llama. A llama? There was a llama. You can look it up online. And it went on the interstate and it was actually that dudes llama. And they were able to capture it. And it didn't get hit by a vehicle or anything like that.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh my. But the. The llama or the goats.

[Bobby Bones]

And it wasn't an ostrich. It was. It was a go. And a llama. We're just running down the road, stop traffic, cops are out there. Just a massive thing to happen in our small town.

[Ray Mundo]

Did they both get caught?

[Bobby Bones]

They did, yeah. Everything was good.

[Ray Mundo]

You just said the llama so they're not so worried about the goat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so that was. That was big news in a small town.

[Ray Mundo]

See, but that's so interesting. That's the only news you get in a small town.

[Bobby Bones]

I gotta open this drink. I went to the big city. Whole food is what you call it?

[Ray Mundo]

Well, yeah, that's where we work. So when you come into the studio, you get to go to the city.

[Bobby Bones]

And guys, I'm all about principle and the principle of it. Because they don't cater to my hours. I want everything to be 24 hours because I wake up at midnight. It's well known. And so they're not open at midnight. Whole Foods, they open at 7am And I said out of principle, I'm not ever going to eat or drink there. But I got something today from there.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, well, it was convenient and it was. The timing worked out that you were actually able to run down and get it. That's funny. But you do get the mix of big city with your small town vibe because you get to come to work in the city. I see we're right near Broadway.

[Bobby Bones]

City mouse, country mouse. It's the best of both worlds. Nobody else experiences it. If there is somebody out there, let me know, because I don't think anybody else gets the half and half like I do.

[Ray Mundo]

You do. Okay. And how is Piper doing? What's the update on Piper?

[Bobby Bones]

Piper now, because it's finally 70 degrees in Nashville. So she's on the patio, she's got her little outdoor tent. She goes in. Loves talking to her bird friends in her head, she's friends with them. I think the birds hate her.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, I think because she's rising, I want to kill you versus you. Thinking she's been like, I. Let's hang out.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing we have to watch out for is one time with Pablo, our old cat. Rest in peace, Pablo. It's actually the anniversary of his passing. March Madness always reminds me of Pablo. Beautiful soul, love and miss him so much. And Pablo Hawk made a pass and actually dug into Pablo. And there's always a marking on him. So now with Piper, we got to watch out. Falcons, hawks, bald eagles are our nation's animal. Watch out. They're going for the cats.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, my gosh. You do need to. Hawks love to go after. Especially cats, because they look a little bit smaller, but they'll go after small dogs. They'll go after anything that looks kind of like. Resembles a rodent. Yeah, in a way. That's crazy. I didn't know that almost happened to Pablo. But that was in the city when you guys lived at the apartment.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it was back in college days.

[Ray Mundo]

I got it. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But we always keep a left eye out. You never know when those things are coming through.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, especially now, living in the city. Are you going to think about building Piper a little catio?

[Bobby Bones]

Is that where there's actual wood and structure to it? Yeah, she's already got enough toys and enough stuff at the house.

[Ray Mundo]

But it's an outdoor structure. Where it's a patio. You know how you have a patio for humans? It's a catio. So it's a cat patio.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. My. My parents are in town off and on. They're kind of doing some traveling. And we had so many toys. And I said, get these things off the ground. My father just got a new hip. He's gonna trip and need another new hip. All because of Piper.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, but she was playing, probably right.

[Bobby Bones]

Way too many toys.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, that's why you get a catio. Then you put them all out there with the catio.

[Bobby Bones]

And she already has some cat structure in the man cave. And I go, if any of my boys come over here and see, this is Going to be so impressive and embarrassing.

[Ray Mundo]

And when you say structure. Structure. Is it like a tree, or is it stuff that's on the wall? Yeah, as a tree.

[Bobby Bones]

And she primarily sleeps on it. So, guys, can we get something that isn't as obvious? She's just gonna sleep on it. Get her a pillow.

[Ray Mundo]

You're such a cat, dad. Oh, you know, I got a little visitor on my porch. It was a raccoon. Little trash panda. Tell me it was the cutest thing ever. So I walk outside. This is actually really funny because I had Remy always.

[Bobby Bones]

It is funny. Oh, my gosh.

[Ray Mundo]

No. Speaking of cats and being outside, I had put a harness on Hazel.

[Bobby Bones]

We do that with pipe.

[Ray Mundo]

So I was gonna test out this in my little backyard just on the deck while Remy was going to the bathroom. So Remy's going to bathroom. I have Hazel in my hands and her little harness about to put Touch your mom. And I looked to the right. I was like, oh, we have a visitor right now. This is not an option right now. And I look, and I just see these two little, like, eyes popping through my little, like, barricade, I guess, if you will. That's around the deck. And I was like, oh, little trash panda hanging out. And then I see its little fingers that look like little lemur thing, like, grip onto the bars. Kind of like it's in jail, but it's not. And it's, like, hanging from the side of my deck. And Remy's sniffing. She's going crazy. Hazel's freaking out of my arms. I was like, okay, everybody back inside.

[Bobby Bones]

What is the trash panda going for?

[Ray Mundo]

I think it was looking for food would be my guess.

[Bobby Bones]

Which one was it going for? The cat or the dog or the.

[Ray Mundo]

You know, I think it was just startled. Like, I don't think it cared about any of us, but it was enough that it was going to cause a lot of ruckus. And if they all, like, managed to get next to each other, we would have had, like, a raccoon dog, cat.

[Bobby Bones]

Fight, if you would. Of all the things you've gone through, your vertigo, your. Maybe that's the only thing recently. Did you have any other outstanding warrants?

[Ray Mundo]

Well, I did do my little life rant where it was about, like, the smoke alarm was going on, my car broke down, all those things.

[Bobby Bones]

You getting attacked by a trash panda would have been the low point of your life.

[Ray Mundo]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys, I'll never believe this. Morgan got attacked by an effing raccoon.

[Ray Mundo]

Like, I thought I was at my lowest point. Can't go any lower.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you kept digging.

[Ray Mundo]

I don't think they attack humans, though. I think they're pretty friendly. But I do think, like, there could have been a dog, cat, raccoon fight. She, you know, country life within the city.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, yeah, I was gonna say that's country coming to city.

[Ray Mundo]

That doesn't make all the time I do have. We also have a possum. Possum. I want to say that was a weird way I said that possum visitor that hangs out sometimes in the tree. And we'll hiss whenever we go inside the tree. Yeah, it hangs out like lays in the tree.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I think in the country, they just are on the roads.

[Ray Mundo]

I'm sure they're climbing in trees.

[Bobby Bones]

There's armadillos, there's possums, there's moles, arbivore or something we talked about on the show. So there's some weird stuff that you'll see out there.

[Ray Mundo]

Have you also seen groundhogs? I love a groundhog.

[Bobby Bones]

See, these are bigger, so I don't think they're groundhogs.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

But the good and bad thing is.

[Ray Mundo]

Could they be a beaver? We have beavers and otters in Tennessee, and I've yet to see one.

[Bobby Bones]

They're gonna be next to the water.

[Ray Mundo]

I know, and I've been on a lot of water.

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably where you're gonna see them.

[Ray Mundo]

I've never seen them, though. The fact that we just have wild otters. And I've never gotten to enjoy a wild otter in Tennessee.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta hit up the lakes and rivers. My parents are traveling them right now, and they send me pictures. It's gorgeous.

[Ray Mundo]

Where are they traveling on lakes and rivers.

[Bobby Bones]

They're going out west, so. Or out east, where Wallen sings about.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, yeah, like, east Tennessee.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. There's that song.

[Ray Mundo]

I was like, what are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a Wallen song.

[Ray Mundo]

No crap. I mean, he is from out there. But you were like, they're traveling all over. And you reference rivers and lakes. And then I was like, I don't know where they're at. Right. Where are they going? Well, I'm glad your parents are traveling. Is that because they're retired now? Are they enjoying retired life?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're retired and they're. I love them. They're not weird. Weird is not a good word because it means people are odd, but they're just different. They don't go to Florida and sit on a beach and lay down. They like to be on the move. My dad just got his hip replaced nine days ago. And he. They travel, I think their trips, maybe 10,000 miles. They're going all over. They went from Michigan through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri. I mean, I mixed up those two. Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Iowa, Wisconsin, back to Michigan. It's a month and a half long trip.

[Ray Mundo]

That's so much fun, though. And they're not weird. I think that's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. It's a, it's. Sometimes people just want to be beach bums, but my parents are like, show me the parks and the water and the trees.

[Ray Mundo]

That's how I feel. I, I can't lie on a beach. I can do it for one day. You give me one day hanging out on the beach. I'm like, cool. I've had. I'm satisfied.

[Bobby Bones]

Give me seven.

[Ray Mundo]

You just want to hang out there. You're not an active person on vacation. I'm like, put me on a jet ski, let's go parasailing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's me. No, I'm active, very active. But I love. You go lay on a beach. You go play some beach volleyball. You're going for a run, you do a couple drinks, then you get take a little siesta. You're. You're doing water games. I do some water volleyball. You do land volleyball. There's the kid playing soccer. You go kick around a soccer ball with a kid. I don't even play soccer. I'm, I'm active. But I mean, I love me some beach.

[Ray Mundo]

See? But I can do that all in one day. You make me do that for seven days, I'm gonna go crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so I can definitely do it for seven days. Yeah. Especially your tan starts to get better all the. And if you go to a Spanish speaking place, all of a sudden your Spanish is better. You're starting to become friends with people. You almost feel like a local. You're like, Bazer. Couldn't you, like, balance some fruit on your head and you could pick up a job here? I could be a surf instructor.

[Ray Mundo]

I see. Hey, now, living that life. I like it. But I have often always said that I would like to retire in a mountain town. So that tell. If that tells you anything about me.

[Bobby Bones]

I grew up in a mountain town. Never went to the beach. My dad. No, never. Would my dad have taken us to a beach? Maybe we went.

[Ray Mundo]

Michigan has beaches, right?

[Bobby Bones]

They do. But we weren't, we weren't really next to the really nice ones, the different lakes. Some of them are 40 degrees. You don't go to a beach at a 40 degree. Like. Like Michigan is nicer. People go to those beach lakes. Those. Those are gorgeous. That's awesome.

[Ray Mundo]

And I guess maybe those are considered lake towns versus beach towns.

[Bobby Bones]

It's all the same thing. One in one, one or the other. But the thing is this. You grew up in whatever and now you want mountain. I grew up in mountain when I was in Wyoming, so now I want beach. I never had beach for 20 years. Give me some beach.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, it is it. I'd be curious to know for most people if it ends up being the reverse of kind of how you're raised now. Granted, I did grow up with neither. I didn't have mountains or beach, so I guess I could have gone with either one.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to know the worst thing about mountains? This is such a sad story. I grew up with them for 14 years in Wyoming. Yeah, you see them, you see the Rocky Mountains, and I believe they were actually the Sierra Madre mountains. But you drive a little bit, you see the Rocky Mountains. It's all very gorgeous. You take it for granted I was leaving. When I was leaving, my teacher goes, man, what's the only thing you're gonna miss out here? Pretty much the mountains. And I look up at them and I'd never really realized that other places don't have mountains. And I didn't really care for them the entire time I lived there. And I go, oh, that's right. Other places don't have mountains.

[Ray Mundo]

So was it weird when you finally moved somewhere where there wasn't mountains everywhere?

[Bobby Bones]

So weird.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, I just.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought every place had mountains.

[Ray Mundo]

It's crazy how you can grow up in your little bubble to like, you know, until you decide to move somewhere else and have a whole different experience. But the landscape is definitely a thing. I mean, think about growing up in Kansas. It was flat. We don't even have rolling hills. Right. Like, at least not in Wichita. We have the Flint Hills, but you don't have rolling hills in the suburbs of Wichita. You don't have anything fly over state. So it's a flyover state. Very much Jason Aldean song. And when I moved here, even driving down, making the move to Tennessee, I was like, there, wait there, it's hilly everywhere. There's actually like things you see, that's landscape. It wasn't like I hadn't visited mountains and stuff before, but the fact that I was going to live somewhere where you could see a hill or maybe a mountain was a crazy experience.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep.

[Ray Mundo]

So I'm like the reverse end of you. You had it and then you lost it and I never had it. And then gained hills.

[Bobby Bones]

Look at that geography lesson right there. Guys, guys, you're going to school. Even though it's spring break.

[Ray Mundo]

I may not have good geography skills, but we did it there. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

[Paris Hilton]

If you're anything like me, you probably think of Tick Tock as a place for cute pet videos, get ready with me's and viral dance trends. But a few years ago, a group of teenage girls used Tick Tock for an entirely different and utterly heartbreaking reason to track down their friend Daisy's killer.

[Bobby Bones]

They put out something on social media and they put out my cell number. I'd get called in the middle of the night all the time.

[Paris Hilton]

And the crazy thing is, it worked. I'm Paris Hilton, executive producer of My Friend Daisy, a gripping new true crime podcast that uncovers the shocking murder of 19 year old Daisy De La O and the teenage detectives who refused to let her case go cold. It's like, how do you think you're.

[Ray Mundo]

Gonna get away with something like this?

[Harvey Guillen]

Mike Kultura podcast network present the Setup, a new romantic comedy podcast starring Harvey Guillen and Christian Navarro. The setup follows a lonely museum curator searching for love. But when the perfect man walks into his life.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I guess I'm saying I like you, you like me.

[Harvey Guillen]

He actually is too good to be true.

[Bobby Bones]

This is a con. I'm conning you to get the Delato painting. We could do this together.

[Harvey Guillen]

To pull off this heist, they'll have to get close and jump into the deep end together.

[Paris Hilton]

That's a huge leap, Fernando, don't you think?

[Ray Mundo]

After you, truly.

[Harvey Guillen]

But love is the biggest risk they'll ever take.

[Bobby Bones]

Fernando's never going to love you as.

[Morgan]

Much as he loves this job.

[Bobby Bones]

Chulito. That painting is ours.

[Harvey Guillen]

Listen to the setup as part of the Mike Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray Mundo]

All right, Ray, I'm gonna ask you a question about who you feel bad for right now. And I can give you a second to kind of think on this.

[Bobby Bones]

Vamp. Do a Bobby Bones vamp.

[Ray Mundo]

For me, the reason I'm bringing this up is because I am so sad about the Southwest changes. I am just frustrated that they thought this was a good idea. I'm not sure who's making big decisions there, but this is. The only thing that made Southwest stand out was free checked bags. This is the thing. And now I'm like, okay, well, my whole life is going to have to change when it comes to travel. But I feel really bad for the Southwest social media managers because I've been watching them respond to all of these things. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and these poor people who had no say in this decision are Having to deal with the repercussions of said decision.

[Bobby Bones]

See?

[Ray Mundo]

And they're having to respond and be like, we're really sorry. Like, you just know that even they are probably sitting there wanting to respond and be like, this is the dumbest thing ever. And we get it. People are left and right are saying, we're canceling you. We're not using you. And you're like, yeah, we're sorry. They don't even have a comeback usually.

[Bobby Bones]

They're waiting on that account, though, aren't they?

[Ray Mundo]

They are one. And you have social media most of the time. We'll have, like, fun with it, and they'll enjoy it, but this is, I think, devastating for everyone that even the social media managers don't have a way to come out of this. They're just like, we're sorry. We get it. Like, cool. Understand? So I felt really bad for Southwest social media managers right now. Do you have somebody you feel bad for right now?

[Bobby Bones]

I love me some Southwest. I'm a. What is it called? The passenger that flies free?

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, the companion pass.

[Bobby Bones]

I am Companion Pass. I can fly to Hawaii for free.

[Ray Mundo]

Is that still happening? Is that still part of it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

You're still good on that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So we're fine with $25 bags.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But we just do the credit card, guys. It's genius. We pay for everything with it. And you become, within a year, companion. You can fly anywhere in the country for free. So that's my take on that, but with the feeling bad for somebody.

[Ray Mundo]

Wait, but are you also a dude and you never check a bag?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I love me a backpack, but, yeah, if it's a weak trip, I have to take a suitcase. Bazer will get mad at me.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, sorry, I had to ask because I didn't know if that was a different perspective.

[Bobby Bones]

It's always Uber Eats drivers. For me. That. That's so. Because I did Uber, and when it shifted to the Uber Eats.

[Ray Mundo]

Let me also clarify. How long did you do Uber for?

[Bobby Bones]

I went on a couple rides.

[Ray Mundo]

How many?

[Bobby Bones]

I made fast cash. But then Bazer told me, hey, on Friday and Saturday, I want to chill. Since you work so hard during the week, you're not going to go drive around, pick up drunk people on Broadway.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. So how many rides?

[Bobby Bones]

If there's going to be drunk people on Broadway, it's us.

[Ray Mundo]

Keep dodging the question.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Uber eats drivers because they shifted to that. And I go, man, you got to go pick up food. Wait, think about getting towed. Then you got to go to a residence you don't know any of the access codes. Think about getting towed, then deliver the food. And so, yeah, anytime I'm like, tip them. Give them the premium pay. And then I hear these reports, they only make $2 a drive. Why. Why is it so expensive to do the UberEats? Because it sucks so bad. But I wish they would. They were getting more money. But yes, we're so willing to say somebody else will get this food. Because you go in there, your food's not ready, you don't know where to look for it. Where's John? Where's Sarah? Where's the manager? Where's my food? Why is it cold that they handle so much of it? That's why it'll live forever. Because nobody wants to go pick up food. It is a hassle.

[Ray Mundo]

It's a convenient thing, for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

And they do it for us every week. And it's. It's worth the extra fee. You know, if you're doing it on a weekend, guys, you can splurge on the weekends. Live below your means during the week. On the weekends, do some Uber Eats. You don't have to leave the house.

[Ray Mundo]

Do you guys Uber eats out in the country?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Do you get it from Nashville?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it goes up to. No, it's different cities around the area.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

There's some massive cities by me. There's Hendersonville, Goodlettsville, Springfield.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it. So but you can get from those. But you never order from Nashville because why, it'd be like a 45 minute drive, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's been times it'll pull from that and it is longer. But I swear they get us food just as fast in the country as they did when we lived at the apartments.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, so it's still active out there. Still got Uber Eats drivers everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel bad for those people. I love them so much.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, and we feel bad for him too.

[Bobby Bones]

We did a subscription thing where with Kroger, they deliver your groceries. It's a per. It's so worth it.

[Ray Mundo]

You don't like going to the grocery store? We do you have a friend at the grocery store? Well, the cashier.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, that's my side grocery store that I go to when I cheat on my main grocery store.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

So the grocery store thing, guys, it's just. It's so convenient. Whatever. It's subscription fee. I don't know. Bazer says this is a luxury we need to have. And I feel bad for them. I'm like, thank you so much. When they pull up, I'm going To get in the bags from their cars. They do.

[Ray Mundo]

I don't know if that's part of the service. I think you're supposed to allow them to bring it to the board.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not me. I'm in their car grabbing crap. I'm grab. There's a pop in the cup holder. They're like, that's mine. Oh, sorry. I thought we ordered it.

[Ray Mundo]

You're just unloading the whole car. That's a good one. Okay. That's who we feel bad for right now. What about the last time you had an intrusive thought takeover? You know what an intrusive thought is?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I'm. I'm a terrible person. I don't know how to talk. I'm not good on podcasts. Me and Morgan's chemistry is bad thoughts.

[Ray Mundo]

You've had all the thoughts you've had. Because now I know. I think we have great chemistry on the podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's what I was going to say with you. I always try to get this out of this podcast. What I want to get out of it, and I want to have our chemistry awesome. And I want us to all talk equally, but I want it to be where I actually enjoy talking to you.

[Ray Mundo]

Are you enjoying it or. Those are intrusive thoughts at the moment.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the only reason I do it, because I'm not obligated to do it.

[Ray Mundo]

So this is true? You enjoy talking to me. Okay, well, I'm glad you at least know what it is. But it could also be, like, silly things, like, where you see something like, oh, it'd be fun to, like, jump off of that. Not like, in a bad way. For some people it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Ray Mundo]

But, you know, like, you're like, oh, I really want to dive. You just have, like, intrusive thoughts all the time. I don't know if anybody else does. Maybe that's a me thing. But I feel like my intrusive thoughts just hang out in my brain every so often. And the other day, this happened to me.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell.

[Ray Mundo]

Where I had a very out of body experience, Ray. I was in our elevator. You know how you see all the buttons every day? You go in and out, you press one button, you go where you need to go.

[Bobby Bones]

I go the back alley.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, yeah. You don't typically take the elevator stairwell.

[Bobby Bones]

But I understand your elevator story.

[Ray Mundo]

You know what I'm talking about. So the other day I go in the elevator, like my normal routine, and I do not know what happened, but for five seconds, I was not in my own body because I literally Hit every button.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Ray Mundo]

The vertigo was like, this thing is a Christmas tree right now. And I did it, but I don't know why. How. What just happened?

[Bobby Bones]

Were you on acid, Ray?

[Ray Mundo]

I'm not kidding you. It was like I was out of my body and watching my body do this and I couldn't stop it. It was the craziest experience and it happened within a span of like 2 seconds.

[Bobby Bones]

But I need a follow up. Was. Did anybody else get on the elevator and there was all the buttons?

[Ray Mundo]

Hank. God, I was the only one on it.

[Bobby Bones]

I would have been like, oh, a kid came on, just ran off like some kids pranking. Bunch of little D heads around here, man. The kids that live at this place, man, these new gen zers, they all have a chance. Some girls doing a TikTok. She like hit all the buttons, ran off. So weird. People are so weird. How are you doing?

[Ray Mundo]

Literally, actually I did it and I had to go down every single one because we're at one of the top fours.

[Bobby Bones]

But how did it feel?

[Ray Mundo]

It felt really good. But I'm like, I'm literally sitting there, like looking at my hand. Like, did I just get like overtaken by an alien? Like, what just happened? It was so fast, right? It was the weirdest experience I have ever had recently where I was just like. That was not me. Somebody else just took over my body for one minute. So intrusive thought one. That was my intrusive thought. That one recently.

[Bobby Bones]

Can intrusive thoughts be where grab another drink on a Friday night?

[Ray Mundo]

It can be.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. See, mine are. It's usually the beautiful number is three or four drinks on a Friday night, no work in the morning. That's the best place to be. But then there's those intrusive thoughts where, hey, have one more get to 6 or 7, your buzz will be a little bit better. And every so often I will dip into that 7, 8 drink marker. And then your whole Saturday, you're lethargic and you're not as motivated and you don't feel as great as you should have felt. And you say, why did I listen to that intrusive thought? Why did I grab three more drinks out of the freezer outside?

[Ray Mundo]

That's a very real feeling. I've had that feeling several times.

[Bobby Bones]

That's not really an intrusive thought. I have. That was a terrible.

[Ray Mundo]

No, but honestly, it's. That's real life. That happens more often than not.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess intrusive is sometimes it's like.

[Ray Mundo]

Intrusive is really something.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, and okay, okay, I know what it is. So we have to submit. That was a decent example. Our truck drivers will love that example. Because when you're at the hotel and you're lonely at night, you have an extra beer. Okay, that's an intrusive thought. You guys get what I'm saying? But with show prep, we have to submit these ideas every day of our lives. Make your life a newspaper. Every single day, we put out more newspaper articles in the New York Post. Good gosh, man. We gotta be.

[Ray Mundo]

A lot of us don't live a little. I have to put that much.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, we're making out. We're making the free freaking New York Times every day of the week, guys, right here. And sometimes you're just like, that story sucks. And I'll delete it of my life. Delete it. And then I'll do it again. And it's just like, it was probably fine. My dumbest ideas make the show. It was probably a fine thought. But I can't tell you how many times a week I'll be like, that's so stupid. I'll delete the whole thing after typing it for 10 minutes. Like, what idiot does that? And I'm just like.

[Ray Mundo]

And yours are really long, from what we've heard, at least on the show. You send in, like, the full story in your show prep.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, because also, the story that I do in that it kind of puts it back. It put re. Ingrains it in my head so that I know all angles. I know kind of how Bones is going to take it. The dumb comment lunch is going to make Amy. How she's going to try and smooth it over. So you kind of play it out in your head. That's radio. It's just how we are. We don't. We. Like, what does it say? We view us as from a bird's eye view, like, above us. You ever view your life from 30,000ft?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

When we write these articles, we kind of do.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. You're kind of thinking in your head, how would this play out? Because it also will help you decide if you want to prep it or not, because sometimes you don't want to.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. And we're going to have something coming up next week.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Right. Leave me alone.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey. Probably shouldn't have prepped that one.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. We're still friends anyways.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's me. That's me.

[Ray Mundo]

That's a good one, though. I think a lot of that can be mixed with imposter syndrome. Do you have imposter syndrome?

[Bobby Bones]

No. No, I'm very confident person.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, but like that can be imposter syndrome. And the fact where you're like, no, this isn't good enough and you just don't realize it. You're just doing it because of you and the way that you're viewing it. But that could be you sitting there thinking like, well, I'm not good enough in this aspect so somebody else isn't gonna like it.

[Bobby Bones]

Just kind of with that, I don't know, maybe I'm mixing up the two. But yeah, for me, I've always just been confident randomly. Like even in sports growing up, I always just thought I was gonna be a starter. So there was the times when I would ride the bench and it was so weird to me because in my head I just thought, oh, I'm a starter. And then I wasn't, you know, for a couple times here in my life. Yeah. So I don't think I'm.

[Ray Mundo]

You don't think I've ever had imposter syndrome? That's impressive. Got killer confidence. Right. But you okay, the guys give you a hard time because you often say less stress, more life. But they say you're the most anxious person they know. Do you feel like you're anxious?

[Bobby Bones]

I am. When it comes to parking and driving and the examples that they use is when I we would go eat at restaurants, they love sitting in parking over an hour when it says hour and I pay for an hour and they love for it to expire and just to sit in the car and in the restaurant. Guys, when, when your car expires with the parking, you can get a ticket. These tickets here in town are 100, 200, $300.

[Ray Mundo]

They are.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not worth it with me at Peg Leg Porker with Lunchbox. Hey man, I'm cool. My car's expired. Oh, I just got a ticket. It's not worth it. I'm going to go sit in my car. If I paid for an hour parking.

[Ray Mundo]

I get that anxiety. I would do that too. I don't like my parking. I hate getting tickets. It makes me so angry.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they may also say like, cuz I get up so early for the show, but there's been times they've had to rebuild the butt of the entire computer.

[Ray Mundo]

The butt?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's different words for that, but it takes hours. And the engineers have told me verbatim if you didn't get to work when you did, we would have never had this rebuilt by the time the show started. And I say thank you. Can I put that on my file.

[Ray Mundo]

So it's worth it. The few times that you've needed to be here.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And I've built it in where I go, work out, or even sometimes I'll just sit back and just close my eyes for a second and it's awesome. It's so peaceful.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. And at least you're here in case something does happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yep. Think about going into a building and just having total peace and quiet to think. Any idea you need, any vacation you want to contemplate, anything. It's the most beautiful thing. I don't. Nobody takes advantage of 1am to 5am like I do.

[Ray Mundo]

That is true. It's one of the most calm times of the day because nobody is out. There's no hustle and bustle. It's when everybody's technically sleeping, they're out.

[Bobby Bones]

Till like 2am but you get what I'm saying.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, well, you know, most of the time, not Monday through Thursday, most of the time. Unless you go to Germantown or Midtown.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh my gosh, is an intrusive thought. If I'm driving on Broadway at 1am and I go instead of going to work, what if I just went to the bars?

[Ray Mundo]

Yes, that is an intrusive thought, that is.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, maybe that hits me once a week.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, but you've never acted on it yet. At least not yet. You haven't randomly not shown up to work.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe, just maybe, I will next week.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, just maybe it might happen. Okay, we're gonna take a quick break and be right back before Ray comes up with more intrusive thoughts.

[Harvey Guillen]

Listen to the setup. As part of the Mike Guest Network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Ray Mundo]

Ray, I need to know what you would have done in this situation. So I went to a restaurant with a girlfriend of mine. We're sitting at the bar. We had a meal. All great. We had a drink, and we get our check. And neither one of our drinks are on the check.

[Bobby Bones]

Beautiful.

[Ray Mundo]

Do you tell them or do you just pay the tab?

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's a hometown hookup. Hometown hookup.

[Ray Mundo]

But we didn't know the bartender. We didn't know anybody. We were just hanging out.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't have to.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. You would have just paid the tab.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Not said anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Extra tip, make it a little fat.

[Ray Mundo]

That's where you add in the extra money you got off.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll say there's been a bar or two around town. You notice about, I don't know, seven drinks missing off of it. Just fat in their tip a little bit.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, that's probably a little bit more intentional on that side of things than this one. Well, we both looked at each other and we felt too guilty. We were. Like. We had to tell them because we were too sober. Like we weren't even drunk enough to recognize that it was happening.

[Bobby Bones]

Amazing Americans.

[Ray Mundo]

I did. I was. Ray. I'm a horrible liar. Horrible liar. I think I would have even choked had I just given it. I think I would have giggled giving him the card. When I've been. Yeah, you'd be like, what's wrong with this girl? I'm such a bad liar in that way. So we ended up paying it, but he only made us pay for one drink when we told them, so we still end up getting one for free. So it worked out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He wanted one of y'all.

[Ray Mundo]

No. That's what you think?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Based on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There's not. I mean, sleight of hand. You ain't gonna forget about two drinks. Their. Their jobs. Talked about lunchbox on this. On the podcast, man, there's. People have such specialized jobs as a waiter, say hi, nail the food menu, drink menu, what they're ordering. Boom. They know they. Boom, boom, boom. Say goodbye to them out the door. You don't miss two drinks.

[Ray Mundo]

I don't know. I mean, in my server days, I definitely miss things. Sometimes just so much happening.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't it one of those things where the second they order it, you document it?

[Ray Mundo]

Depends what it is. Sometimes if you're running back to grab something and you don't have to ring it in, then, yeah, you can easily forget it. Or you go and get multiple orders, hook up. You know, I love to B Dubs. I. I'd hook people up with ranch and blue cheese sometimes because they started charging for ranch and blue cheese.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you believe that girl gave us two cups of blue chees free? We're gonna pay for it.

[Ray Mundo]

I felt bad that people always had to pay for ranch and blue cheese. When they didn't and people come in mad, I was like, well, okay, you get one, but I'll grab you two.

[Bobby Bones]

That a girl.

[Ray Mundo]

I tried to make it better so those things, but, like, hey, I got.

[Bobby Bones]

You an extra one. Here's two.

[Ray Mundo]

There were. He made it sound creepy.

[Bobby Bones]

There were, like, in a cute way, you're hooking up these people. Thanks.

[Ray Mundo]

They didn't know, but I was helping them out.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Ray Mundo]

There were moments, though, where there was so much happening, I'd forget to ring things in, and I think that's what happened. I don't think it was them hitting on us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's one of those where you don't want to forget to ring things in because you want the bill to be higher because that's going to generate a more lucrative tip for you.

[Ray Mundo]

Typically. But so it. We got good karma for doing it. We at least got one drink free, so we only paid for one Dr.

[Bobby Bones]

Some of these drinks in Nashville, they got, like, seashells that are $50. They got the guitar shots that are 100.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. You must have just spent time at Hampton social.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And your little drink. What it was in the.

[Ray Mundo]

It was like 16 bucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

So we only paid for one. It worked out. But I'm glad to know you wouldn't have.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a gray area. If. I mean, that's the thing. If they're forgetting a seashell, you're like, holy crap, do I know the bartender? They just hooked us up with a mother of pearl seashell at Hampton Social.

[Ray Mundo]

That is true. That's a very expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

That is a hookah. We learned that the hard way that.

[Ray Mundo]

It was that expensive.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We're there for one hour with my buddy Justin, a seashell and some of these glitter drinks later, the bill was 200. I'm like, get me back to the country. What? Justin, what are you drinking that's in a seashell right now?

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. But cool experience if you are coming to town with a group of people. Hampton Social is cool for that because you can that seashell you all drink out of, which make sure everybody's, you know, healthy. And then also, the guitar shots are really cool because they put a little sparkler on it, make it look like a VIP situation, but you're not paying the full VIP tab.

[Bobby Bones]

Book early and go rooftop.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, good. See, we gave a Nashville suggestion there, too. All right, you've watched some TV shows, movies, stuff like that. Do you have a favorite actor? I don't know if I've ever asked you that.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not specifics on that, but we're watching White Lotus right now.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. Hooked on that one.

[Bobby Bones]

This season's a step down from the previous seasons, but still great. Phenomenal, because it's about vacation. I live in vacation mindset.

[Ray Mundo]

You do. You have two songs that are out about vacation.

[Bobby Bones]

Boom.

[Ray Mundo]

This is a thing. Well, I was looking at something. There was a thread on X the other day, and it was. Who is an actor that has nailed every single role you've seen them in? And it was a hot topic. Is there anybody that comes to mind for you? Because I was trying to think of this one, and I was thinking of, like, my favorite actors and all the things I've seen. For me, the one that comes to mind, there's two. It's Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. And I feel like every time I've seen them in something, now I don't know that I've seen every single thing they've been in, but every time I've seen them in something they crush, they're just superb. Like, top of the line, great actresses.

[Bobby Bones]

Got mine.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, what comes to mind for you?

[Bobby Bones]

Bradley Cooper.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The Hangover. And then he did Black Hawk Down. Or was it American Sniper? Stuff like that.

[Ray Mundo]

I think it was American Sniper. Maybe Black Lockdown.

[Bobby Bones]

He do good?

[Ray Mundo]

He too good?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, his stuff's good.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. As American Sniper. That's a great one. Yeah, it was. I don't know. It's hard to come up with because, like, if you think of people in their, like, really early roles. But that's when Anne Hathaway came in. She's Princess Diaries when I was a kid and I loved her as Mia Thermopoulos, Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.

[Bobby Bones]

Sheesh.

[Ray Mundo]

Long title. Did you ever watch Princess Diaries, Morgan?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Ray Mundo]

It was on Disney. No, everybody was watching Disney at one point or another.

[Bobby Bones]

I was. I was watching. My sister watched Hilary duff C. Lizzie McGuire. Lizzie McGuire. And then she also watched on there. Circus Smirkus.

[Ray Mundo]

Circus Circus.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that I remember that one terrible reference. And that was probably it. But yeah, she definitely watched the Lizzie McGuire.

[Ray Mundo]

And you watched it with her or would you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would see an episode. It was fun. It was pretty good, actually.

[Ray Mundo]

So see, you were watching at the same time this was coming out. It was not a crazier one. Okay. I was making a reference to earlier. Your small town life. I've been re. Watching one of my old, like, favorite shows. Did you ever watch Heart of Dixie? It was on cw.

[Bobby Bones]

Hell nah.

[Ray Mundo]

It was a great show. There's dudes in it. It's the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's. It's a female show.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Is there a basketball or football in it? Or a baseball?

[Ray Mundo]

Well, the mayor of town is an old football athlete.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm in.

[Ray Mundo]

So they talk. They make a lot of football references all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, they do?

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Ray Mundo]

Because of him. He played at Alabama and you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Get any of them.

[Ray Mundo]

I get references. I just don't like, care to watch sports all the time.

[Bobby Bones]

You're gonna be watching it on March Madness. All right.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Over the next month, if you go to any bar. I don't care if you're into the games or not. You need to fake like you love March Madness and that's how you're getting a dude.

[Ray Mundo]

I just don't care. I don't know why. Bone in my body.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, you get. Everybody gets one life to live, but. And you can live it any way you want to, but you can only live it once.

[Ray Mundo]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Ray Mundo]

So I like what? I like going to games. Take me to a game, I'm all about it. I'll be number one fan. But you know, watching tv, that doesn't. I'd rather watch something else.

[Bobby Bones]

Right, but you're. Yeah, you're not talking to me right now. You're talking to people that are listening to this.

[Ray Mundo]

I know, but I'm also talking to you.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're telling the guys right now. Guys. You hear that?

[Ray Mundo]

That's just personally how I feel.

[Bobby Bones]

A game.

[Ray Mundo]

Good reference. Anyways, watching Hart of Dixie, it's so good. But I forgot because of when this came out, there were artists like Scotty McCreary, Gloriana, Danielle Bradbury that came on this before they ever blew up in country music.

[Bobby Bones]

Interesting.

[Ray Mundo]

Crazy to watch them now. They look so, so young.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Ray Mundo]

And this is their very beginning of their careers. What's an odd way you've discovered an artist before where you're like, hmm, I didn't realize. I found them this way. And this might take you a second to think of it. You have all your favorites. You love Sam.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, Sam Hunt at a Dave and Busters, when kids were flipping over at Vandy Bros. Were flipping over tables in the parking lot, and the cops had to close traffic because it was that crazy that this Sam Hunt dude came to town.

[Ray Mundo]

I was gonna say, I still can't believe he went to a Dave and Buster's. That story will always get me.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that. That's. That is where you just become so big for the venues that they had previously booked. Knowing. Not knowing how monstrous he was. Like, he was the s. In Nashville. When he hit. When he hit, it was. If not, it was a little step down from Wallen, but it was really powerful.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, everybody was talking about him.

[Ray Mundo]

He did go on a skyrocket, like, as soon as it. That song. To your point, I want to. I want to say it was House party was the first one that really blew up for him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. House Party. You know, you had, like, ecstasy speakers on with it.

[Ray Mundo]

I love all of those. But I think for, like, the mass. Majority of people, it was House Party. That's the one that hit for him.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Ray Mundo]

So Dave and Buster's Sam Hunt. Okay. What about Kipmora? You have a weird thing with Kipmora, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Not really. Went to his shows, I guess I. He was. Because he's. He's a Costa Rica guy, and I lived in Costa Rica.

[Ray Mundo]

That's where that little obsession comes from.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay. Well, that was all I had. You got anything else you want to add before we leave? Any fun updates? Life.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we killed it. Yeah. Life right now. It's just gonna be a lot of golf over the next couple months. It's finally hot in Nashville.

[Ray Mundo]

Is there any news about your guys? Eggs. I know you mentioned something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're not having kids for 15 years. Oh, yeah.

[Ray Mundo]

That's the latest update.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm telling you, my cat's like a dog. She's like a kid as well. Our hands are full, guys. No kids. No kids.

[Ray Mundo]

Well, and your wife still does want a dog. So are you working on building that fence?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's been a hot topic, but I tell her, you can get a dog right now, but when I'm at work, you're going to have to get up and take it out on a leash because we don't have a fence. And I've heard from friends you have to build that fence real quick because it is so annoying taking your dog to the bathroom on a leash every time, multiple times a day.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, it is annoying to do that. I remember apartment living with Remy for several years and every time she had.

[Bobby Bones]

To go out, we were keep selling.

[Ray Mundo]

That was a thing. But.

[Bobby Bones]

But was it really annoying?

[Ray Mundo]

It was annoying, but I loved having her and I would.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a lot?

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah. But also the potty training is crazy. Like, seriously, this is why also adopting is really cool because you can get a dog that's like a year old and the potty training, you could skip the whole face. Potty training sucks. You know how often I was up like once every hour with Remy when she was a puppy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like having a kid.

[Ray Mundo]

It is trying to teach him because otherwise you're going to have accidents in the house, in the bed, everywhere they're at. And so I was like, heck, REM even wore a diaper for some portion because it got to a point where I was like, girlfriend, we can do this. But like, for the time that you are inside and keep wanting to little trickle everywhere we. I'm not going to keep cleaning this up. So she had a diaper on at one point and then she got drained pretty quickly as soon as that diaper went off.

[Bobby Bones]

But and honestly, the beauty of it, to switch back to kids thing, she froze. Laura froze her eggs. So she has 23 eggs that are going to be there forever. And guys are blessed in the fact that we can have kids the lady we want forever.

[Ray Mundo]

Did you ever tell me if you went and got like tested and checked.

[Bobby Bones]

And I got it tested, but we never made the embryo.

[Ray Mundo]

Got it. But you're good. Like, you got tested. You're good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they said just made the cut.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just kidding. I have no idea. They just said good. Whatever that means. But so, yeah, we can have kids later. It's like maybe. Maybe we start the trend of let's. Let's raise these kids right in our 70s.

[Ray Mundo]

Oh, boy. You're not even alive for when they like her in high school.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. Because you want to think you're Gonna Live to 114. They say that's the goal because then you'll have lived a million hours on this earth.

[Ray Mundo]

That is the hope.

[Bobby Bones]

But you don't want to live any more than 114, because anybody even live to 114. Rare. But just wait with Me here for a second.

[Ray Mundo]

Okay, so.

[Bobby Bones]

So then we would have kids that are like. Let's say we haven't. At 70. We would. They would be 30. Then they have kids. So we would be 100 and 100. And then you just get to see your grandkids for a couple years and then you sail off into the sunset. You pass.

[Ray Mundo]

This is saying that you get over 100 years old.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but. But what I'm saying is this.

[Ray Mundo]

But. Right? You know how rare that also is.

[Bobby Bones]

Guys, I get grandkids are awesome. Maybe the Lord intended. Maybe we're not supposed to experience grandkids lives. You know what I'm saying? You raise your kids right. At what age can you raise your kids right? You have no job, you got no responsibilities. You go to every one of the sporting events. 70, baby. And retired. See my grandkids for one year and then I pass away.

[Ray Mundo]

This is certainly a new outlook and I love that for you. I would love to know Laura's thoughts on the topic.

[Bobby Bones]

And then when you're in heaven, you're like, hey, how did the grandkids turn up? Oh, my gosh, I went to jail. Okay, Crazy. Well, yeah, I passed away. I didn't even see what they did.

[Ray Mundo]

You could be watching from above, you know, just.

[Bobby Bones]

At least I raised my kids right. But yeah, the grandkids went to jail.

[Ray Mundo]

Yeah, I did.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't have any. Hey, I had no say in that. I was up here in heaven.

[Ray Mundo]

This is a strategy. This is not nothing. It's a tragedy. But I definitely want Laura's hot take on this thought process now. Oh, man. Okay, let's jump out of here, right? Tell people where they can find you, hear you. All that good stuff.
