You won't believe what my new friend just told me about dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Dinosaurs.

Is your child having conversations you never imagined? Are they learning without realizing it? It's not a tablet. It's not a toy. It's Meco Mini Plus, The AI powered companion that turns curiosity into endless learning. Hear the future of playtime. Meet the extraordinary Meco Mini Plus.

[Bobby Bones]

Only at Costco, I turned off news altogether. I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of any. It's the rage bait.

[Morgan]

It feels like it's trying to divide people.

[Bobby Bones]

We got clear facts. Maybe we can calm down a little. NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America.

[Morgan]

Hear that? That's what it sounds like when you plant more trees than you harvest. Work done by thousands of working forest professionals like Adam, a district forest manager who works to protect our forests from fires.

[Bobby Bones]

Keeping the forest fire resistant. Synonymous with keeping a forest healthy. And we do that through planting more than we harvest and mitigate those risks through active management. It's a long term commitment.

[Morgan]

Visit workingforestsinitiative.com to learn more.

[Bobby Bones]

Broadcasting from the CMA Awards. It's the Bobby Bong Show. Yeah, for sure. 100%. Absolutely.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm like, the leopard? Is that what that is? Leopard?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Nailed it.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow. Did you think it might be zebra?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Morgan]

I.

[Bobby Bones]

Honestly, I don't know what it would have been. But you could have, like, surprised me and said, like, no, this is. What are you talking about? And I'll probably just like, been calling it the wrong thing. You could have said cheetah.

[Morgan]

Okay, but I was just about to ask you about. Cheetah and love are technically the same thing.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know that. Yeah. Is it like, they're not at all. They're not even. Not even close.

[Morgan]

But is it like buffalo and bison?

[Bobby Bones]

That's not even close. They're not even the same species.

[Morgan]

They're definitely the cat family. Don't make me go crazy here.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I do love big cats. I hope we're rolling, because this is good.

[Morgan]

Yeah, this is great.

[Bobby Bones]

Sometimes, like, if I'm laying in bed at night and I'm bored, I'll be like, big cats are crazy. If you think about them, like, panthers and stuff, like, lions are nuts.

[Morgan]

Have you ever seen people who own, like, the Sphinx and the really big cats in their homes?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty wild. Yeah. Those people, they're strange.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I might be one of them. No, I respect them in the wild. You know what I'm saying? But, like, they're pretty. I've got a few bobcats that run around the yard. Pretty wild to see.

[Morgan]

I know. Okay, as you guys are hearing, Dan and Tay are here with me.

[Bobby Bones]

These are the fans that we care about more on big cats. Up next, we're gonna talk about Tiger King. I'd like to just talk about him. What's he doing?

[Morgan]

No, we don't need to talk about him.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like he's got a burner in jail, Right? He's just commenting on people's posts. Like Dylan Marlowe's post. He's like, damn good song. I'm like, probably. Probably. That's sick, dude.

[Morgan]

Which, speaking of, I wanted to ask you guys about Back to December. Why did you guys decide to record that? What was the inspiration?

[Bobby Bones]

It was random, honestly. We were in Boston and Dan was just, like, playing it on the piano, and obviously, like, the Taylor album was coming out. And so if we were talking about Taylor, we're big swifties. I mean, who's not? And we just. That's one of our favorite Taylor songs.

[Morgan]

You say, who's not? Like, there aren't a bunch of people who watch sports who are definitely not swifties.

[Bobby Bones]

They are now. They lie. Yeah, you either love Taylor Swift or you're lying. You know what I mean?

[Morgan]

That is fair.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you might not like her, but you definitely like you. If a Taylor Swift song comes on, you're bopping to it.

[Morgan]

What is your Go to Bop and Taylor Swift song besides Back to December, which is amazing. Go check it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there's so many. The 1989 album is probably, like, goaded for me. Blank Space goes crazy. Try to think some more Throwbacks. I mean, the first album was amazing. Should have said no was crazy. Teardrops. Yeah. Teardrops on my guitar was. Tim McGraw went crazy. What else we got?

[Morgan]

I love that you guys just keep listening to him. This is great.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, whenever she put out the first album with Max Martin, we are never getting back together. I was blown away by that. I knew you were trouble. Yeah, that stuff was sick.

[Morgan]

It's kind of funny. I feel like Taylor Swift, like, makes you feel. And either you're either really in love or breaking up, and it's never during the actual right moment in your life. It's always the reverse. Yeah. You know, but you're still jamming out to it.

[Bobby Bones]

Every album, though, is so good. Like, when Folklore came out, I did, like, a whole review on my Instagram of all the songs I loved. So good.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, before you guys go, I have some quick questions.

[Bobby Bones]

We've got nothing done. We apologize.

[Morgan]

No, this is so great. I love it and. But I want to ask. Thanksgiving is coming up. What are you not thankful for?

[Bobby Bones]

Probably ads.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. Ads are everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Ads are just in general. I thought you meant, like, country radio ads. I was really going there. I like those ones.

[Morgan]

No, I mean, like, advertisements.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And it's gotten a little much like you're watching YouTube TV and you get on there and it's very personalized to you, and it's like, hey, Shay, you know, I guarantee you, we're, like, a couple weeks away from them, like. Like saying your name, like, hey, Shay, I see you there in your living room, you know, you piece of crap. You should be out doing something. Yeah. And it's good. It gets so personal, and I'm offended by it. I don't want to get targeted. No, yeah. I'm off ads. I'm not thankful for him at all.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's a good one. All right.

[Bobby Bones]

As the days pass, I'm not thankful for the finite window we have for the holiday season, because December 26th, like, things get a little depressing in Nashville. It's dark at, like, 3:30pm he knows what I'm talking about. It's like, once the holiday season's over, you're kind of in no man's land for a minute. Then football ends, and it's like, this is bleak. My Birthday is the 27th, though. Like I said, it's one more day.

[Morgan]

I got it for you.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the worst. I mean, honestly, people forget about it. It's like a whole thing. You Know Dan's the only one who remembers. He comes over every year and gives. He makes me sandwiches about it.

[Morgan]

Well, I really love your birthday for you. Happy early birthday.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

And last quick question. Do you guys know what six, seven means?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm old. I don't know.

[Morgan]

I'm old. You got it. You got it. You nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I. I don't know.

[Morgan]

You're not old. It's actually meant to be like, I think make fun of people who don't know it. It's really more what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

What a dumb thing. I. I'm not thankful for six, seven. That's changed my answer. I hate that so much. I'm so stupid. Yeah, they're not as good as clip.

[Morgan]

That's.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even want to be around.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, go check out these guys new Christmas music because it's awesome. They're like the guys of Christmas music.

[Bobby Bones]

We're happy. I promise. It's.

[Morgan]

You're very happy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we're very happy guys. Hey, that was us blinking twice.

[Morgan]

Side joke that. I have no idea what just happened. Are you guys alive or are we doing okay?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, we're doing good. We're AI Danite.

[Morgan]

Thanks for joining.

[Bobby Bones]

The computers are coming, man. They're taking. Don't miss the CMAs. Live on ABC, Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central. Life's pretty good. I would say better than I deserve. Bailey Zimmerman. Well, you're. What? My throat's a little, like. I don't know. I've just been having this thing. I don't know if I got like, just a cold or something or. I don't know. Oh, that's. That's interesting. But I mean, not contagious according to Dr. Bailey or what. Chat gbt. Let me tell you, chatgpt is so amazing. It doesn't mess anything up.

[Morgan]

Also, it's designed to, like, speak really positively towards you, which is nice because.

[Bobby Bones]

Google is not Google makes me feel like, oh, dude, you better go get every test in the book, because you could definitely have all these things. And you're like, dude, I just got a sore throat. But then all of a sudden you're like, you could have cancer.

[Morgan]

I call the hypochondriac, where if you're scared of everything.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, is that what that is?

[Morgan]

It's like you're scared. You think you have every sickness.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly. So you Google it, and then you're like, oh, my gosh, I have cancer and now I have. Yeah. And then you do a gofundme and then they find out you're faking it. No. Right? And then it's like this whole thing end up Jamaica. I'm like, down. I'm like, on in the streets. I'm like, oh, my gosh, dude. Can somebody just give me, like, McDonald's or something? And then it's just like, tough, dude.

[Morgan]

Wow. Is that how quickly you don't understand.

[Bobby Bones]

How quick life goes into the dumps? Just one little false thing from Google says, oh, I'm gonna die in a week, so might as well spend all my money. And then Google was wrong. And then now. Yeah. And then all the gofundme. I got sued over the GoFundMe thing. I ended up in Jamaica anyways. And then they. Then they take your veneers back because you got to pay your people. And, dude, I like them. I don't. Dude, I'm not. No. That's why we love Chat gbt, because they're nice to us, and they're like, hey, you're probably good, man. Well, no, you know, spend all your money. Go find me. Yep. Then you get sued, Lose it all. Don't end up in Jamaica.

[Morgan]

Well, a little pro tip for you, Bailey. If you want, next time you enter anything into Chat GPT, you can say, I want you to speak to me like, you are, like, my mentor, and you need to give it to me straight.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, really?

[Morgan]

And then it'll be a little bit more, like, tell it to you like it is.

[Bobby Bones]

That's actually crazy. I'm gonna try that.

[Morgan]

Like, tell it. Be like, I need you to speak very directly to me and don't mess around.

[Bobby Bones]

And then if you can also say, like, speak nice to me.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but in a nice way.

[Bobby Bones]

But Bailey also. Yeah, you know, but you can. One minute. What? One. No, we're at one minute. One minute. He just sat down. You don't. You don't wrap me up. I wrap me up. We don't go until Bailey says we go. Okay. Well, Bailey did not say. So what are we gonna do? Oh, my God, Bailey. What can we do? Let's think about it. If you. If you. If you could buy anything in the whole wide world right now, what would you buy? An island. Okay, Go.

[Morgan]

Well, I have lots of things that I would.

[Bobby Bones]

She's done. Okay, see, you can't do it either. We have. I would. I would buy. All right, that's it. We're done. We're good. Thank you so much for being here. It's a cna. No, we're not. No, no. Here's the thing, Bailey. You have so much money, you can buy pretty much anything you want. No.

[Morgan]

What? Yeah, where my brain goes.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I mean, I mean, it depends. Unless you. I mean, last time we thought you talked about how you bought a big house. So I figured I'm broke. I have loans like everybody else. Seriously? Yeah. I'm a normal person. Dude.

[Morgan]

I wouldn't say bro.

[Bobby Bones]

And honestly, I would just say I'm car poor. That's what I say. I just love cars so much. Okay. That I'm just like. I'm willing, I'm willing. I don't care. Like, dude, look at my watch. Casio, baby. 70 bucks. That's pretty good. Yep. And it's pretty nice.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I think it looks.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cool that you wear a watch, cuz now that there's cell phones, like, why do we need watches? It's not even right. Look, what time is it right now? It's 5:30. Yeah. And then 11:18 Tuesday. That's. It's. That's tomorrow. Is it? Yeah. Cuz Today's the 17th. That's actually crazy. That's really weird. Cuz I didn't set that either.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, interesting. Okay, we didn't go over that wrap.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on, I got a question. Since we thought about anything you could buy, let's say you're gonna die. What's the last meal you're gonna have? Bailey Zimmerman, honestly, I've been saying this all day. I didn't get that exact question. Well, it's because your throat. You know what I mean? It could, you know, it could be the end. So I would say my mom makes this really weird concoction. Actually, I get two things and I want to be able to pick between two. So we're gonna go. One is my mom would put mashed potatoes down on a plate and then sauerkraut on top of it. And it's all warm. It's not. It's like all warm. Got it. Not like gross and cold. So it's not weird? No, no, it's not weird.

[Morgan]

Thank you for clarifying.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, and then chopped up hot dogs and then you just mix it up and I eat it. Okay. And I love it. Like it's. I just. I just think it's so good. So anyways, and then my. My buddy's mom, his name's Colton. Her name's Lisa Smith. Shout out Colton and Lisa Smith. Yes. Yeah. Love you guys. You said John to Colton. Oh, he's like one of my best buds. I love that guy. So his mom. I actually lived with that guy for a time. Like, I lived with him for some years in high school. Like, literally, like, I would, like, I would just, like, stay there all the time and help him on the farm and stuff. That's pretty. We have a lot of backstory. But his mom, they have a farm, right? So it's their, like, own. Own hamburger, own everything. So they, like. They, like, control that. And she makes this shepherd's pie that is unbeatable, dude. Unmatched. Like crazy, dude. Hamburger on the bottom, cheese. Then half corn on one side, a bunch of corn. Peas spread out evenly. Mashed potatoes.

[Morgan]

Warm.

[Bobby Bones]

Warm. This is all baked? Yeah, all baked. It's going to be baked together and then. Yeah, that's it.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So what I've learned. There's mashed potatoes on the bottom, too. We're not crazy. I said meat on the bottom, but it's mashed potatoes. Meat, corn, peas, mashed potatoes, and it's fire. What I've learned from this is Bailey Zimmerman loves mashed potatoes. I do. And they're not even good for you, dude. No way, dude. Well, don't potatoes just turn into, like, something bad for you or something?

[Morgan]

Vitamins in there?

[Bobby Bones]

They.

[Morgan]

They do have some good.

[Bobby Bones]

So if I ate potatoes just all the time. No idea what I'm talking about.

[Morgan]

I think it's just because, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Dr. Bailey is pretty smart.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Okay, now Bailey definitely has.

[Bobby Bones]

No. No. But that's why we're all the way back around. Yes. And then one more thing we should ask Starches. What is starch? Thanksgiving around the corner. We always talk about what you're thankful for, but this year, Bailey, we want to switch it up. What is Bailey Zimmerman not grateful for? Like, something you don't like. Okay, what do I not like? Hmm. What do I not like?

[Morgan]

Haters.

[Bobby Bones]

No. That's a great one. Of course. Well, actually, no, honestly, I love them. I'm grateful for them.

[Morgan]

Because they motivate you.

[Bobby Bones]

They honestly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. So what do I hate? Honestly, I'm going like.

[Morgan]

He's so positive.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going, like, when you. When you. I hate when you, like, go to a. Like, when you order from Doordash, and, like, you order, like, you know, like, a couple things that you really want, like, in the order, but then they only send, like, the few other things because they were whatever. Oh, yeah. And then you're like, dude, I didn't even want this. They substitute. Yeah. I just, like, that happens a lot where they'll be like, oh, hey, dude, they were out of the dinner. I'm like, then I wouldn't have take it off the menu. Don't let me order it. I just waited an hour for this.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, you know, that's frustrating. But again, I'm grateful. I'm great. I'm not even sponsored. But I'm grateful for, you know, like, Uber Eats or Doordash or whatever. I'm grateful for, you know, the people that bring it to me, you know, and it's not their fault. It's not their fault. So I'm like. But now you're getting into the mushy stuff. You're being grateful. We're trying to be ungrateful right now.

[Morgan]

Well, you did it. He did it, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I did it.

[Morgan]

He did it.

[Bobby Bones]

And we are grateful that Bailey Zerman stopped by. We're ungrateful. We got wrapped early, but we kept going. Yeah. Thank you, Bailey. I love you guys a lot. Yeah. Thank you.

[Morgan]

That felt weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Broadcasting from the CMA Awards, it's the Bobby Bomb Shoe. Oh, my God, Morgan. These lights are bright. Everybody's lights are bright. Holy crap. Dan Hudson. She likes bright. We can turn them off, too. It's whatever. Are they good for me? You're looking right at a light, though. I mean it. Really. I mean, I'm like. Dylan's a little more used to it. Yeah, well. Yeah, well, he's been doing interviews all day. Look at Dylan. Look at Dylan. How's it going, Dylan? Not as bright as them lights. Not as. When you look at me, it's not as bright as the lights. Right. Like, when you're on stage, are the. Oh, man. Can you see anybody in the crowd? Some nights, yes. Most nights they're so bright, you can see, like, the first three rows and then nothing. Which is kind of a weird thing, right? Yeah. And now at your shows, do people hold up signs? Yeah, they do. See, because to me, if I'm around the person that holds a sign, I am pissed. I get that. There's a lot of places where they won't let them bring it in. I understand that. I do get it. I would be the same way. Because, I mean, I'm not a tall guy. So you put a sign up, and I can't see nothing. Yeah. And then, like, you watch football on, you know, whatever, and you see someone in the stands, and they're dressed in, like, full uniform. They have a little bit. I'm like, what kind of idiot goes to a football game looking like that? I understand. Like, bring the sign, hold it up for A moment and then we're done with it, right? Yeah, that'd be a good thing to do. Holding it up the whole concert where you're blocking my view. I mean, it's going to get a little awkward. That's probably what causes the fights at all these concerts. Yeah. You just thought about it. You ever been in a fight? Like a bar fight? No. Public fight? Never been a fight in my life. Really? I've never swung a punch at anybody. Huh. Like, not even in middle school. Never been in a fight. I don't know. I was friends with everybody. Did you ever, like. Or maybe they felt sorry for me, one of the two. What do you mean? Why would they feel sorry? I don't know. Who knows? It just feels weird that, like, I mean, what, what, what point? Like when you're at a concert. Yeah. What causes people to fight? What is the main reason? Do you think people fight? The main. Okay. The main reason. Okay. Besides alcohol, usually somebody trying to get to the front or somebody knocking into somebody because they didn't see them, and then it just becomes. Yeah. A brawl. You hit my girlfriend. Yeah. Because I. You hit on my boyfriend also. And I got to tell people. Do you know, like, if you're going to a concert and it's general admission. Yeah. Do you know the secret way to get to the front? No, I don't. I don't go to a bunch of concerts, though. Really? Even growing up, I never went to a bunch of concerts. Yeah, yeah. Either did I. But I always have been told, and I don't know if this is true. If you're facing the stage, go to the left. Go front left. Okay. Because everybody's right handed, mostly, so they go to the right. Interesting. And so ever since high school, when I would go, like, we'd go see Robert Earl Keane and we want to get to the front, all my friends, we got to go left because everybody goes right. Would it work? Did it work out? Yeah. But I don't know if that was just because we. We just kind of fought our way or if that really is true. I was wondering if you had done any research, if you ever gone left at a concert. Next time you go to a concert, try it. I will. Next time I go. I don't know when that'll be. What in the world? This is the most random crap I've ever talked about. I'm learning, man. I'm learning. My next concert, general admission, I'm going to the left. But see, now you're at the point where you don't do general admission. It's tough. It's tough to do it. Yeah. Do you. Can you go to the grocery store? Yeah. Nobody expects to see you at a grocery store. So they're not looking for you at a concert. They're looking for people. They are. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. Like a basketball game somewhere in public. They're looking around like, are there any celebrities? Yeah. Let me see. Oh, my gosh. Grocery store. Do you go grocery shopping? Oh, yeah. Or do you use Instacart? So just. No, no, no. We did Instacart for a little bit. It's too expensive. I agree with you. It's not worth. And they don't bring you the right stuff. And it drives me nuts, dude. The other day I did Instacart because it was late at night and I needed breakfast for the kids in the morning. And I ordered two bundles of bananas. Right? Yeah. You know what? They brought me two bananas. Ding. And it's like, I have three kids. How am I gonna present them Two bananas in the morning? I have a banana story. Go ahead. We had some. Hey, we wanted one bundle of bananas, right? This is just a couple weeks ago. I let my wife do it. I didn't let her. She did it. I let her do it. I said, this time you can do it. Yeah. They bring us little mini bananas. All of them. They're about this big. Mini bananas. She goes, hey, what are we gonna do with this? Yes. Not a lot. Talking bananas with Dylan Scott. And before you go, you know it's Thanksgiving time, so I want to know, what are you not thankful for? Not thankful? Yeah. Is that even a thing? What am I not thankful? Yeah. That just. Yeah. Tiny bananas. You don't ever hear that. What are you thankful? I know. I'm trying to think. That gets kind of boring on. Well, no, I'm trying to wrap my health. I'm not thankful for. Yes. Tiny bananas. I'm not thank. I'm really not thankful for Instacart because it gets too expensive. I'm not thankful for not knowing about going to concerts and going to the left side and the right side until I was 35. But here we are. So thank you for sharing that. All right, Dylan Scott, everybody. Thank you for stopping by. Anytime. Don't miss the CMAs live on ABC Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central.

[Morgan]

So many juicy.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my gosh. You don't even understand what we're about to ask you.

[Morgan]

It never goes as planned when it's us, too.

[Bobby Bones]

So I really have no Idea man. Yeah. It's funny because is true.

[Morgan]

It really is. Like genuinely him and I together, I don't even know what's about to happen, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's John Morgan. So, I mean, how often do you get. Oh, my God, you're a lawyer too. Like, do you get that all the time? Yeah. I'm going to cash in on that one day. I mean, one day, right? Yeah, one day when the timing's right. Yeah.

[Morgan]

I feel like I'm going to cash in with you, John, because my name's Morgan, so I need to. I need to come in on this.

[Bobby Bones]

Cashing because he's not John. So you don't.

[Morgan]

No, but every time I get it's Morgan and Morgan and I'm like, thank you. I know about the joke.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, man. We'll be Bonnie and Clyde. You just be my. My wife. Right. You'll be my. That's when we robbed the bank. Yeah. Oh, her ID says Morgan too. We're good. We got it.

[Morgan]

Then we claim it. We're going to bond style this. If you see John Morgan rob a.

[Bobby Bones]

Bank, though, like, how cool would that be? Exhilarating. It looks so cool, doesn't it? Like, it looks like it's the most amazing thing in the world.

[Morgan]

Yeah. You were going to commit a crime, what would be the crime you would commit?

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, murder, obviously. Duh. I mean, that's so simple. Yeah, it's pretty easy. Question. What else you got?

[Morgan]

That's. That's the one we're going. You've had just a crazy years. We saw you here last year and you were talking. It was really like the. The beginning phasers. We were seeing you have this moment with Jason Aldean and stuff. Like, what's been going on in the last year that you're just like, is this my even life? What's happening?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no, I've. I've had a couple. I mean, I think the most recent one is just, you know, we've been on this headlining tour doing plan dates all over the place for the last couple months and it's our first headlining tour, so we're kind of learning as we go, but it's been really cool to see the growth. We had our first sold out show in Chicago. Not to brag, but shout out Chicago. Yeah. Not to break. I got a question. Why would you not want to brag like that? First thing you say is, I had my first sold out show. You should brag. You should walk into the grocery store, hey, guess what? You do. How's you going today? Going today, sir. Cool. Cool. I had my first sellout show. What up? You know, you should brag about that all the time. Yeah, I don't know if that's grocery store vibes, but. Yeah, I mean, sure, for sure. No, I. I love it, man. I'm. I'm super, you know, pumped to just see that growth and, you know, seeing people sing album cuts and stuff is pretty wild.

[Morgan]

Okay. And you probably don't have a lot of time for social media, but I love to ask people if they know these trends. So are you ready for this?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, sure.

[Morgan]

Okay. If I start singing wake in morning, and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I see the top of my lungs. What's going on? Do you know the second half of that? It's a remix.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I've heard the remix, but it's not my. It's not my jam. I don't know.

[Morgan]

Bees in the trap.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it is. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I have seen it. Have not partaken in it yet.

[Morgan]

Not in the beads in the trap.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

And are you. Are you a part of group seven?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. I don't even know. This. This is just like. If you want to put me in the most uncomfortable situation, keep asking these questions because they're all gonna be no. Okay.

[Morgan]

So safe to say you're not doom scrolling in your spare time?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I've. I eliminated that out of my life maybe a year ago and haven't looked back. Oh, so you don't feel like you're missing group seven? Because you're not. You don't feel like you're missing those people I'm obviously missing? Obviously you're not. Nobody knows what that is. Well, if nobody else knows what it is, then that's fine, but. No, I just. I don't know. I mean, I get on and, you know, it's more of a tool for me, like Instagram. I just kind of have to look at it that way, otherwise I will spend too much time doing that. And so I'm not really up to date on any of the trendy stuff. But you keep. Please keep asking me and making me look even dumber.

[Morgan]

No, that's what's fun about it, right? It's like social media. It's so categorized in what you find interesting. So what is on your for you page?

[Bobby Bones]

That's my search page.

[Morgan]

You were to be back on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm a big tool guy. I love tools. I know, it's super weird. But, I mean, a lot of tools, like, down Broadway, there are so many free. This is the industry for tools. I mean, 100%. Yeah, there's a lot of them.

[Morgan]

I think we're talking about different tools.

[Bobby Bones]

A lot of sharp tools. A lot of sharp tools. Really? Been. Yeah. Used. No, I. I love tools. I'm always looking at, like, builds. Like, I love watching guys go out in the woods and just, like, build a log cabin from scratch with, like, a hammer and wooden nails. I'm that guy. I like watching.

[Morgan]

Would you do that? Could you build a log cabin? Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I don't know if I could, but I'd definitely give a hell.

[Morgan]

You try.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's. I. I've. I've started a few, actually. My current project is a sauna. I'm building a sauna at my house, and it's been an ongoing project for, like, three years now, but.

[Morgan]

Oh, dear.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds about right. We got it dried in last week, so we're making progress.

[Morgan]

Your wife, like, hey, is this gonna finish anytime soon or.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, she just doesn't go outside. She's just like, yeah, whatever's out there is yours. Just don't bring it in here. So it's kind of a fair trade off, I think.

[Morgan]

I feel like Lunchbox is also like that with his wife. He'll just. He'll leave something, like, just forget about it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll take it down the road, is what I like to say. You know, I'll get that to tomorrow. You know, you start something and something else gets your interest, or you start something else and so you have a bunch of un. Unfinished things. Yeah. Drives your wife nuts. Hey, that's life. That's life. Deal with it. Yeah. At least I'm being creative, you know? At least I'm starting something. Yeah, exactly. At least I got some ambition.

[Morgan]

You know, I'm gonna speak for all the women here and say, finish your projects. Okay. I'm just gonna put it out there, and it might.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe after tour, I'll be sitting in my sauna, just breathing it in, really.

[Morgan]

Proud that you finished.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll be. I'll be proud for sure.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Before you go, you know, it's Thanksgiving time, and, you know, usually we ask you what you're thankful for. Yeah. But we want to know what you are ungrateful for. Oh, man. You'd think that'd be easier, wouldn't you? Yeah, absolutely. Because there's a lot of things that. Oh, man, what am I ungrateful for? You know what? Starbucks has really let me down lately. Oh, no. Yeah. It's been. It's been a long journey with Starbucks.

[Morgan]

Just a lot of waiting and getting cold coffee or cold coffee.

[Bobby Bones]

Gross coffee. Burnt coffee. Oh. You know, now I'm just like, how many chances can I give Starbucks?

[Morgan]

You're probably going to give them another chance tomorrow, aren't you?

[Bobby Bones]

You're right. I am. Because they're literally everywhere. So. Yeah, that's been hard to swallow.

[Morgan]

That was good. We got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Fun. Yeah. I don't know that Starbucks has let me down. It's been a big. Because, I mean, I travel a lot, so I'm always looking for good coffee and try to do like a local spot, if there is one. But it's just so far and few in between, man. I know.

[Morgan]

Hey, you got to go to the gas station. Coffee. Gas station coffee is what I hear is where it's at.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you a Circle K girl? Are you More. I love Casey's. Okay. Midwest girl.

[Morgan]

And I don't even really drink coffee. But that one I'm actually kind of intrigued by. So.

[Bobby Bones]

Huh. Do you do the Styrofoam cup, too, to get that extra flavor?

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, it's a whole vibe.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I've had my fair share, for sure.

[Morgan]

Well, John Morgan, thanks for joining us. Yeah, it was great.

[Bobby Bones]

See you.

[Morgan]

And keep kicking butt everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we're gonna try. We're gonna try. Broadcasting from the CMA Awards, it's the Bobby Bone show rollin. We're live.

[Morgan]

Hudson Westbrook here. And I gotta say, last time you were on the Bobby Bones show, you did just what you did just now when you came over and you're like, oh, yes, ma'. Am. Good to see you.

[Bobby Bones]

Whatever. And most time when I say, yes, ma', am, they're like, okay, you're calling me old.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Well, I am well aware that I'm significantly older than you. It's fine. But I did feel a little bit better when you were saying something to Bo Bobby at some point and you said, yes, sir.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that. That was. I was. I was fixing it. I was fixing it. Yes.

[Morgan]

Equally it out. Which Bobby and I are pretty much the same age, so it's fine. And we've been together 20 years, so sometimes we still think we're young.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

But we've definitely gotten older.

[Bobby Bones]

Stay young. And young in the mind. Young mind.

[Morgan]

Young in the mind. And, you know, we've got. We've had artists that, you know, come up a lot of different ways, and your career has just really popped off lately. So much. So picture it. I'm in BUC EE's the other day, did you know you've got like a setup in Buc EE's?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I went and chopped the brisket. I. We chopped some brisket, made some sandwiches in BUC EE's. Okay. And then we showed up, handed out free merch and signed everything. But, yeah, our merch is in BUC EE's now. So that's.

[Morgan]

Well, I was like, you had just.

[Bobby Bones]

I guess I made it now. I guess I made it.

[Morgan]

And I was like, well, looky there. He's got his whole little section at BUC EE's. But I didn't know you made a whole.

[Bobby Bones]

Glad to hear. Where was that at?

[Morgan]

Thing of it? Right outside of Knoxville. I was on my way to a UT game.

[Bobby Bones]

Sick.

[Morgan]

And they did horns down to. Well, how do you know which game it was?

[Bobby Bones]

The Georgia game, right?

[Morgan]

No, it was the Oklahoma. No, no. Was it Georgia?

[Bobby Bones]

Oklahoma? Oklahoma.

[Morgan]

It was Blackout. Yes, it was Oklahoma.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. You have to understand that he's thinking you're talking about University of Texas when you say ut and you're talking. Oh, University of Tennessee.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He thought you were talking about. See, I'm used to university. See a Texas.

[Morgan]

So am I because I'm from Austin.

[Bobby Bones]

See, they caught a stray right there. I said, horns down. I don't know. That's funny.

[Morgan]

We'll back it up. I did say right outside of Knoxville, so I thought that would be the first.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fair. That's fair. But you could be driving to Georgia. Like, don't you go through. I mean, do you know, driving Georgia, Oklahoma.

[Morgan]

Okay, I'm with you. I had. Well, I moved to NASHVILLE probably like 12 years ago, and anytime anybody said UT, I thought they were talking about University of Texas. I went to A and M. Oh, really? Yeah. Like, you didn't. Are you. Did you. What did you do school wise?

[Bobby Bones]

I went to school at Texas Tech for like a year and a half.

[Morgan]

That's right. That's right. We talked about this because I remember thinking, like, you would bowl in the morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, I would break bowls in the morning and I'd go to class and then go to the feed store in the evening, and I did that and I wrote a poem at work and added chords to it and sent it to one of the college dudes I knew play electric guitar and he added electric to it and we put it out and everything took off and so bought a van, a trailer and started rolling.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So are you gonna go back home to Texas for Thanksgiving?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, so I'll go back home to Texas for Thanksgiving. I live there still. And we'll go to. We'll go out to Midland, way west Texas, and.

[Morgan]

Oh, I know exactly. My dad used to live in Midland. Odessa.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, sick. Yeah, that's where my mom was and.

[Morgan]

Visited him for spring break and, like, would. I went to Big Daddy's Catfish and Chicken.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that sounds like Midland, Texas.

[Morgan]

Yeah. So. Oh, do you watch Landman?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I do. They actually came out a new episode last night. My. I was supposed to watch it, but that was my plan. I was gonna do something like that. I don't know if it would have been that crazy, but that was the.

[Morgan]

Goal, your career wise. If you had not gone music, you would have gone Landman.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Landman. Or I was doing dermatology for a minute and then dropped. Got out of it, so.

[Morgan]

Oh, very diverse.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, very diverse. But being in Lubbock, I fell in love with Lubbock, and so I wanted to stay in Lubbock, so I wanted to do oil and gas.

[Morgan]

What about. Have you ever been to Rattlesnake Roundup?

[Bobby Bones]

I've not. Where is that at?

[Morgan]

I think it's, like, in Roscoe, Texas, which is west.

[Bobby Bones]

We got. We got rattlesnakes. I can promise you that maybe one day.

[Morgan]

Maybe one day you'll make it and you'll play the rattlesnake. Hey, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the goal. That's the goal. Yes.

[Morgan]

So back to Thanksgiving real quick. Since we touched on you going back to Texas for that, I want to know your favorite Thanksgiving dish and what you are not grateful for this year.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I. What I'm not grateful for you like.

[Morgan]

To throw a curveball.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd say, like, I'd say dressing for the. For the dish at Thanksgiving. If you put grape jelly on it, it's really good. You got to try it.

[Morgan]

That actually sounds pretty good. And I've never heard of that ever, but I'm not gonna knock it because. Have you ever tried cinnamon rolls with sausage gravy on top?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Morgan]

Okay. You got to do that if you're a gravy jelly.

[Bobby Bones]

If I say that. If I say that, then that. That's like. Yeah, I'll try it.

[Morgan]

Okay. Well, I'm just saying if you're a great jelly on your dressing kind of guy, then you will be a sausage gravy on your cinnamon rolls type of guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Alrighty. Alrighty. I'll try it.

[Morgan]

All right. So I feel like a Lot of people are gonna try that now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. You got. Whoever sees this, try it out. If I failed you, I'm sorry.

[Morgan]

That's interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

You.

[Morgan]

You probably think of everything as like a visual. Whoever sees this.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. It's weird when in 20. In 2025, I feel like you're. I know, but some of you always got some things. I know, I know.

[Morgan]

Like I have more of a radio career, but finally, what you're not grateful for.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm not grateful for wasps.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. They built nests all around my house since I've been gone and I'm allergic and I can't stand them. So I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna be there with some wasp spray. So I'm gonna.

[Morgan]

All right, Hudson Westbrook.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Don't miss the CMAs. Live on ABC, Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central. How you doing?

[Morgan]

Good to see you.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on over top.

[Morgan]

I'm already short and then I was sitting down, so I really made that hurt on you. I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I can cut. I can cut the legs off real quick.

[Morgan]

Are you good over there, Charlotte? Yeah, you good?

[Bobby Bones]

Charlotte?

[Morgan]

John party sitting here with me. What's up, Mr. Saturday Night?

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

[Morgan]

You have stuff going viral on social media. Do you even realize that? Do you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm an accidental TikTok star.

[Morgan]

Do you post your own stuff or you just like, let. You don't strike me as somebody who's like posting TikTok.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we'll come up with some stuff, but we usually the fans are doing it and, you know, it's just making good music. That's. That's what my fans remind me. And the TikTok, they keep making more music. So we're going back in studio next year and, and looking forward to that. But the tick tock thing's been really fun. Mr. Saturday Nights everywhere, it's fun.

[Morgan]

And are you Mr. Saturday Night? Is that now your new nickname?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm Mr. Sleepy Night. When he's got these babies, man, you.

[Morgan]

Don'T exactly have the. The party vibes anymore when you have.

[Bobby Bones]

But this CMA, the BA. The BMI awards, the CMA awards, we got. We got 24 hour babysitters. We're not having the monitors in a room. We are planning to go.

[Morgan]

So you're gonna have full parents night out for two.

[Bobby Bones]

Two nights.

[Morgan]

This is a huge thing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a big deal. That's a big deal.

[Morgan]

What is it like being a dad and also like, you come off stage and it's like dad life. But then you go on stage, you're like, oh, I'm Mr. Party. Literally, party.

[Bobby Bones]

I call going from Batman to Superman is that Batman's at night, you know, party guy always up. And then Superman's always got to save the day during the day. And it sucks getting up so early. And like, it's really hard. Like, you always got to do one day where you're tired all day, so you can go to bed at 9:30 and you get up at 7 and then you can start adjusting. But then you got to get up at 7, then you gotta stay up till 1. You know, it's like, it gets a little tough, but it's good.

[Morgan]

I like the Batman Superman reference. And speaking of, like, the viral stuff online, I'm gonna ask you if you know any of these viral social media trends right now. Are you ready for this?

[Bobby Bones]

The only one I see is like, Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday for just £50.

[Morgan]

That's a good one. That is a good one. Okay, okay. What does 6, 7 mean?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I don't know what the 6, 7 means. It's. I. I watched like a mom try to explain what the. The kids are doing, like, like, trying to figure it out, and I was like, I don't get it.

[Morgan]

It literally means nothing. The whole purpose is to be like, that's what that means. Just to help you out.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Are you part of group seven?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I'm stressed out. I'm sweating.

[Morgan]

I know they're crazy. Okay, okay. What if I start singing this song awake in the morning, and I step outside and I take a deep breath and I get real high and I Screaming at my lungs, what's going on? Do you know the second half of that?

[Bobby Bones]

And I said, no, no, no, no, no. There's another one.

[Morgan]

There's a remix that's going really viral right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Morgan]

It's like, yeah, Bees in the trap.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I'm not really. You did great on my viral stuff.

[Morgan]

It's okay. But you know what? You're going viral.

[Bobby Bones]

Will it call me Mr. Saturday Night.

[Morgan]

There we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Viral.

[Morgan]

That's all you needed anyway.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Thanksgiving is coming up. What are you not thankful for?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not thankful because we know you're.

[Morgan]

Thankful for a whole bunch of things, but what are you not thankful for? Something that maybe irritates you or just drives you crazy right now. I'm asking you the really tough questions today, Jon Pardee.

[Bobby Bones]

Allergies. Yeah.

[Morgan]

That's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

It's allergies. It's cold, and you get the dry boogers. You know what I'm talking about? It's like, you gotta really check your nose because they might be, like, hanging out and. Yeah, like, I wake up in the morning, you blow your nose, it's like blood.

[Morgan]

You've had personal experience with this, haven't you?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm outside all the time, and the pollen's coming. You know, leaves are coming down everywhere, and it's like. And I gotta sing, so. But I've been good. I've been good. It's. It's been a good Flonase. Sponsored by Flonase.

[Morgan]

Thank you for that. I'm glad the allergies was a good answer. Okay, John, is there anything else going on in your life you want to talk about? Really exciting. Are you excited for CMA's? Are you doing anything fun besides Parents Night Out?

[Bobby Bones]

After party?

[Morgan]

You love an after party.

[Bobby Bones]

They're like, oh, this is the after party season right now. This is the week of after party.

[Morgan]

Would you ever just show up on Broadway, downtown in Nashville someday?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I did. We did. Me and Summer did that. This. This year in, like, in July. We went out on a Wednesday. Okay. And we went to go see, like, some of the new bars we like. Post Malone has a new bar. It's pretty cool. Postseason Posties went to Aldean's, Met up down at Aldean's, and then we went.

[Morgan]

To, you know, TikTok trends, just FYI.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we went to Luke's Bar, and then we kind of jumped around. Then we danced at Aldean's, and it was fun.

[Morgan]

Do you get stopped when that's happening and you're like, out with your wife, or do people leave you alone?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm pretty dead. But a lot of people think, like, I'm just a big cowboy guy. But then they really start looking and like, oh, my God, John, Party.

[Morgan]

Did people ever, like, come up and just stare at you and you're like.

[Bobby Bones]

I would be, like, in the shadows.

[Morgan]

Like, you know, oh, we're moving. He's moving.

[Bobby Bones]

And being here out of the. And that'd be like, they don't see me. And then the band starts playing hardach on the dance floor. Like, they totally see me. So. But it's fun, you know, and when I go out, like, it's not, like, you know, for me, it's like, it'd be weird if you were a country music singer and on the radio and, you know, and you were, like, mad that you went out into public and somebody came up to, like, you know, in my mind, like, people, I'm gonna have to take some pictures tonight. I'm gonna have to do something for somebody. And it's, it's, it's fine when, you know, you're going out, you know, so. Yeah, that's why I look at it.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Happy with the people. I was Batman that night.

[Morgan]

Thank you, Batman, AKA Superman. I appreciate you being here. And have fun on parrots night out this week.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, we're ready.

[Morgan]

I know you're ready.

[Bobby Bones]

Summer's got all her dresses. She was like, what are you wearing tonight? What are you wearing tomorrow?

And that's how I refer to him as M10 Penny.

[Bobby Bones]

I appreciate it. Thank you. You. So if you buy mt, you'd say that.

[Morgan]

Not like that.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know how you said it. Mt how do you. We struck off all the mashed potatoes. It's fine. You walk up and we. We. We just got lunch. We got. I interrupted their food. I'm sorry. I feel horrible. Don't feel horrible. It's my second helping and so I'm Like, I don't care. The free food is going to be there, like, all day. I will go back there three times. Boom, boom, boom. Hey. As you should. And you're right around the corner.

[Morgan]

How are you?

[Bobby Bones]

How's life? I'm great. Everything's great. I'm so excited to be here. Finally home for a second. My wife's got her first top 20, which I'm so proud of her and working her butt off. We finally got to see each other last night, so that was good.

[Morgan]

First time in how long?

[Bobby Bones]

A couple weeks. It's been a minute. And I mean, we get on and off all the time like that, so life's good. Finished all the touring this year and just getting a chance to relax and hang out.

[Morgan]

How the heck do you guys do that? I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

It's called FaceTime. FaceTime. But we. We're not very big phone people like that. We kind of just when we get home, we make it. I mean, as cheesy as it sounds, more quality over quantity. At this point, it's making sure we still date each other. We go out and have day nights. Last night we did. Ordered an Italian and watched Netflix and hung with the dog. What'd you watch on Netflix? It's. I don't know the name of it. It's this new show. Dude, I don't even know the Harry Connick Junior's in it. Another. I don't know. It's this new Netflix show. It's really funny.

[Morgan]

So we weren't focused on the TV show. We were focused on the past.

[Bobby Bones]

I was hanging out. Yeah, we were eating. Oh, and we watched the new Landman last night, too. The new episode. So good. It's great. Yeah. I've never seen this. That. It's awesome. Billy Bob Thorne does a great job. I don't know. See, I can't watch too many shows because I have three kids. And so, like, I get like, one episode a night, if that.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so it's like, everybody starts these shows and I'm just like, how do you have time for all this? How do you guys watch Survivor and that? I mean, yeah, I. I'm. I'm with you. My. My. My wife can have like, seven going on at once. I can't do that Survivor in that. I gotta go one at a time. I gotta fit or my brain. I. I'll start mixing them together and come up with a whole new show that never happened because it's two different ones at the same time. Okay.

[Morgan]

But I need to know because you guys are away from each other if you are watching the show. Like, have you guys cheated on each other with a show?

[Bobby Bones]

So, yes. And that's. Oh, man. I. Yeah. Mitchell cheated. Breaking news, guys. No, it. I. That is a real thing, though. It's like, I can't watch it tonight on the bus with my friends because Megan wants me to watch it.

[Morgan]

Usually. Go hide in your bed and not be around the guys because of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Usually. Usually I will. I'll wait because I want.

[Morgan]

Want to.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I want to experience it together. But there was. What was the last one that I was watching? I think it was Entourage. I was finishing Entourage again. I was like, megan's. You know, I can't wait on the timeline. There's too many episodes. We got to keep going.

[Morgan]

And you're like, okay, sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched the rest of it. We're good.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like after watching Entourage that, like, do you get that feeling being on the road? Do you have. Does it have any of those vibes? That's a different that. So we, me and Ernest went down to Isla Morada a couple days ago to hang out, and that felt like Entourage to me because he went to, like, it's like Post Malone's manager. We just hung out. It just felt like a. One of those TV shows. Everything was happening like that. I'm like, this is not how I'd normally do it, but, hell yeah, let's go. Because what a fantastic show. I mean, if you guys have not watched, like, a posse was around at all time, it was so fun. So good.

[Morgan]

Do you like that aspect of it? Because I. I've known you for a really long time.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, it's. It's fun for. For a moment, but I'm. I'm laid back and chill. I like to just go hang out and. And, like, I. I don't know. The whole thing's a lot for me. I just like to be relaxed and chill.

[Morgan]

Yeah, you are such a chill guy. You always haven't. Funniest story is, way back when I first moved to Nashville, Mitchell Timpani picked me and one of his friends up from the bar because we were drunk one night, and I was like, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

So you can tell me. You went home with one of Mitchell Timpan's friends.

[Morgan]

No, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

It was.

[Morgan]

It was one of his. His fellow girlfriends was not me, but. And I was like. And I was just sitting there. I was like, this feels weird. Mitchell. Tim Benny is my Uber, and I'm. Tonight, I Got you.

[Bobby Bones]

You want to hear a funny story about Mitchell?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So his mom.

[Morgan]

Are you enjoying this?

[Bobby Bones]

You're like sitting for a minute, please. So I appreciate it. The Kid Power was. Is a organization I volunteered for. His mom did some stuff with it, and they were having their bash, their annual gala to raise money or whatever, and we were trying to think of something to do, and she's like, well, my son plays music. He could come beforehand. And I was like, like, oh, my gosh. This is like. You know what I mean? Usually when a parent says that, you're like, oh, my gosh, like, what are we gonna get? I'm sorry. Yeah, no, no. But then it's like, oh, this dude's pretty good. All right, I got it. Yeah, like, like, all right. You know what I mean? Most various bring someone, it's like they don't know how to do any. They can't really sing. But he. He could really sing, so that's pretty cool. That's my behind the scenes story of him.

[Morgan]

This is how we know, like, Mitchell is so chill. So when you said entourage, I was like, there's no way. Mitchell.

[Bobby Bones]

No, man, I. I don't like. Yeah, I don't need any of that. I just want to out hang. It's good, but it's fun to experience. It was cool.

[Morgan]

Okay, so you've been doing this for a while. You were mentioning your wife, Megan Patrick, and she has golden child, which is blown up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

What's that been like, getting to watch that side? Because you've been in this for a while and you've gotten to see a lot of things.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, to be honest, I get emotional talking about. I'm just so glad people are seeing how awesome and talented she is. She's getting the opportunity she deserves. I couldn't be more proud of my wife. She's working her ass off. Excuse my language. Working her butt off. And she's saying, you know, it all come to fruition and I'm. I love it. I'm so proud of her.

[Morgan]

No, you're going to make me cry. Sorry, I'm being lame, but no, I need your best. That's not lame.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, sorry.

[Morgan]

You know how cool it is to support your wife like that?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I love her.

[Morgan]

You should teach Lunchbox a few things.

[Bobby Bones]

Not support my wife. What are you talking about? I gave her three kids. Like, what do you mean? I support her 20.

[Morgan]

Do you see what I'm working?

[Bobby Bones]

He's making me cry now. Yes, you did give her three kids? Yes. I mean, come on, man. And I mean, great kids, too.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

It's amazing. That's incredible.

[Morgan]

Okay, well, I. I want to ask you.

[Bobby Bones]

That made me cry. I was laughing right there.

[Morgan]

Cry, tears. Cry. Laughing.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't believe you cried. That's crazy.

[Morgan]

Yeah, but that's so cool. Like, you love your wife that much. You're so proud of her. And what's happening.

[Bobby Bones]

So what you're telling me is I need to go home and tell my wife, hey, can you do something so I can be so proud of you that I'll cry?

[Morgan]

She gave you three kids.

[Bobby Bones]

She gave you.

[Morgan]

I think you can cry.

[Bobby Bones]

True.

[Morgan]

I think you can cry.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I. I mean, I. I don't tell anybody, but I did cry when we announced the first one. Okay, you're here for that. Out of fear.

[Morgan]

Okay, getting back to this. Thanksgiving is about to happen. What are you not thankful for? Not.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. See? No, no, Mitchell, I know it sounds crazy, but a lot of people, you know, it's easy to say what you're thankful for. There's stuff in this world that you're not thankful for. I'm not. I'm not. We moved out to the woods. We. We got a little bit outside of town and got some land and the ticks. I am not thankful for ticks. And. Because when we walk our dogs or we go out in the woods and hang out, like, there's ticks, and I don't like them, so I'm not thankful for ticks.

[Morgan]

I feel that. Have you ever had to pull a tick off your dog? Because it's miserable.

[Bobby Bones]

It's the worst. And I hate it. And it's like, we're big dog lovers, so we let them get on the couch and cuddle with our dogs. It's like, I don't want the ticks all around.

[Morgan]

There's nothing worse than petting your dog, and you feel a bump, and you're like, what is that?

[Bobby Bones]

No, we check and we roll them. All right. The doorstep before we let them inside now and check. So, yeah, every time you come in, you just burn their fur. You know what I mean? Get rid of this tick. We just get rid of the dog. Get a new one. It's. It's a whole weird thing.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. Well, Mitchell M. 10 penny.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you.

[Morgan]

Thank you for being here. It's always good to see you.

[Bobby Bones]

You, too. You, too, Box. Oh, thanks. Yeah. He was just saying, you the Morgan. I was like, wow. All right. What about me? Don't forget.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Bobby Bones]

Thanks, man. Don't miss the CMAs live on ABC, Wednesday night at 87 Central.

[Morgan]

Good to see you.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on in. Great.

[Morgan]

Oh, man. Y'.

[Bobby Bones]

All.

[Morgan]

Y' all hanging in there?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Yeah. I mean, we don't have to walk anywhere. You're walking around.

[Morgan]

I know. And I decided to wear heels today. I don't know why, but here we are.

[Bobby Bones]

We're good. Are they comfortable?

[Morgan]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Then why do you wear them?

[Morgan]

Like, because your jeans are long.

[Bobby Bones]

I was gonna say your jeans are long enough where you could wear whatever shoes you wanted and no one would see them.

[Morgan]

Well, yeah, but then. But then my jeans would be dragging on the floor and tripping me. Okay, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

We got Priscilla block here. And so when you walked up, up, Amy gave you a hug, and it's like, oh, you smell so good. If I would have said that. Is that creepy?

[Morgan]

No. Oh, sorry, dude. Okay. No, no, I'm just saying, whenever people tell me I smell good, that's like the biggest compliment, because I'm always worried about smelling bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a smell like a B.O. problem?

[Morgan]

No, no, I don't. But, like, as like a Tory musician, like, listen, like, it gets hard sometimes. Like, you know, sometimes you're just, like, trying to get a shower, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, how many days can you go without a shower and feel okay?

[Morgan]

Oh, not long.

[Bobby Bones]

Two, three days.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no. Like, one. Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

I know. I like to say, like, yeah, because.

[Bobby Bones]

They find it weird. Like, I play co ed soccer still, like, because I'm old and I'm still playing, and I'll go to my game at night on Wednesdays, come home and just go right to bed.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah. No, no, no, no, no. If I'm sweating, I need a shower.

[Bobby Bones]

So after every show, you take a shower?

[Morgan]

I try to if I can, but, you know, like I said, it's. It's hard out there sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

What's the worst part of being on the road?

[Morgan]

I mean, I think it's like, just like the not sleeping great. You know what I mean? Not sleeping great. It's not as glamorous, I think, as people think. Especially like, when you're at, like, where I'm at right now. Like, we've got 11 people on one bus.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a lot.

[Morgan]

It's backed. Yeah, it's packed.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like a college.

[Morgan]

We're hustling.

[Bobby Bones]

That's like a college apartment. You know what I mean? You got two door room and.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

No one cleans up out of themselves.

[Morgan]

I do the cleaning.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because, like, that is true. You say it's not as glamorous as everybody thinks. Because when you're younger or a kid and you're on the outside looking in, you're like, oh my gosh, they live the most fantastic lives.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's a grind.

[Morgan]

It is a grind. It's a grind, but it's. It's one that I'm thankful for. And I'll tell you right now, I mean, we were in the van, the church van, before this, for a long time. And that's way less glamorous. So you know what? I'll take the bus with the 11 people in it.

[Bobby Bones]

So when you were in the van, did you drive too? Or did you alternate drivers or did you have a driver?

[Morgan]

We would alternate drivers. Whoever was good to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, what do you mean good to go?

[Morgan]

Like, whoever was like the least amount of tired, you know?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I can't imagine driving so many. I mean, I drive like 300 miles to go see family and it's like, oh my gosh, I'm exhausted. This is so tiring, right? You're traveling all the time.

[Morgan]

All the time, non stop.

[Bobby Bones]

And when you travel, do you. When you get to cities, what do you do? Do you go explore the cities? Or is it mostly man, I'm just on the bus, Take a nap, go play, get out of the city.

[Morgan]

It's kind of like that. Right now we're like, we basically pull up to the show. I shower and back to the shower, back to the shower. Workout, shower, sound check, get ready for a meet and greet, do interviews, do the meet and greet, Then I do my show. So it's like basically a full day.

[Bobby Bones]

What is a Priscilla Block workout? Is it like, do you go run? Is it, do you bring a treadmill? Like, what, what do you bring weights on the bus?

[Morgan]

Right now I'm doing a little bit, like, a little bit of weight lifting, a little bit of running. I started running last year. I ran my first 5k last Christmas.

[Bobby Bones]

How'd it go?

[Morgan]

It was amazing. I ran the whole thing.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty fun, isn't it?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I like to prove to myself that I can do some hard stuff. And I never thought I could run, so I. I've started running a little bit and lifting weights. So I just bring like dumbbells on the road and do what I can when I can, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

When you're running, do you listen to music?

[Morgan]

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

See, because I run, I cannot run in silence.

[Bobby Bones]

And I run in silence.

[Morgan]

That's. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah, that is wild. You're built different.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I mean, I need some, like, cardi b blaring in my ears. Like, just something to, like, keep my mind going. Yeah. I can't be listening to anything slow.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't think about, like, oh, man, look at that tree or that bird. You can hear them chirp. Or you can. You can hear the horn honk.

[Morgan]

I'm like, get me done with this run immediately before I pass out.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so what's the farthest you run? Now that. Now that you did a 5k, that's.

[Morgan]

The farthest that I've ran.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Don't worry, guys. Guys, I haven't gone past the 3.2 miles or whatever it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have a goal to run, like, a 10K?

[Morgan]

I think I was just talking to Lauren Elena, and she's like, I want to do a 10K. And I was like, I'll do a 10K with you. So, like, we'll go from the 5K to the 10K, then to the half. Oh, I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's not be crazy.

[Morgan]

Yeah, no. My sister runs half marathons. She's ran, like, three this year. And I'm like, bro. Like, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Is your sister crazy?

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I think my whole family is.

[Bobby Bones]

So you were about to. You stopped at half marathon because you were about to say marathon is not something.

[Morgan]

No, that's really not in it for me. I don't think so. At this point in my life, probably not, but you never know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, we got Priscilla blocking. Before you go, I need to ask you one question because it's Thanksgiving time, you know, and we like to hear what people are thankful for.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But not this year. We want to know what you are not grateful for.

[Morgan]

What I'm not grateful for?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There has to be things you don't. Like. Like, you're not grateful. Like, wow. She's actually thinking, oh, I don't know.

[Morgan]

If there's anything that I'm not grateful.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, Priscilla, you cannot love everything in this world.

[Morgan]

Not great. I'm not grateful for. I take gratitude really seriously. You know what I mean? So I'm trying to think about what I'm not grateful for. Like, mean people.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's good.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, mean people. Like, in person or online.

[Morgan]

Just, like, rude people. I'm not grateful for them, but I am grateful because they. They are my motivator sometimes. You know what I mean?

[Bobby Bones]

And now we turned it positive again. Oh, my goodness. No, no, no. We can't just make it not grateful.

[Morgan]

I'm doing this thing in my life where I'm really trying to, like, be. Have gratitude every day and find the good in things. I'm. I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

Were you not having a good gratitude before? Were you making everything sad?

[Morgan]

I mean, no, I've always had gratitude, but I think it's something that you kind of have to practice to, like, train your brain to, like, find the good and the bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah, I'm gonna. I dig.

[Morgan]

What are you not grateful for?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not grateful for my kids not listening on the first time.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not grateful for. I don't know which kid it is, but going in my bathroom and missing the toilet and peeing on the floor.

[Morgan]

Oh, I'm not grateful for that.

[Bobby Bones]

That is so disgusting. Because then you walk in the bathroom.

[Morgan]

It's, like, inspiring me. See, you should have started.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, I walk in the bathroom, I'm like, oh, my God, one of them went in here and peed all over the floor. And you can just smell it immediately.

[Morgan]

I feel that. The guys on my bus, I am not grateful for them missing the toilet either. I'm like, guys, there we go. You've inspired me. Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

I just needed that. Okay. I needed to know where your brain was going on these. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Bye, Priscilla.

[Morgan]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

You smell so good.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Broadcasting from the CMA Awards, it's the Bobby Bo Soon Talk Talk. Does it work? I think it works, man. We're here with Shane Smith. And you know what's crazy? You told me Shane Smith. I think Shane Smith is Canadian. Huh. Well, I don't know. Anyway, so my question is, why don't you. Someone told me you're Chris Jansen's boy. Is that true? Yeah. Yeah. Are you his oldest? I'm very confused. Yeah, I mean, yeah, he birthed me, actually. Well, I mean, he didn't. Obviously, he didn't birth you because he's the male. No, we used to work together a lot. Oh. Like, you're not his boy. Like, you're. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, Like. Like buddies. Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, sorry. Sorry. I am. Whoops. My bad. All right, here we go. Let's start this over again. Let's delete that. We're here with Shane Profit, not Shane Smith, and he's not Chris Jansen's boy. Well, that sounds terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, man, what's going. So you used to work with Chris Jensen? Like. What do you mean, worked with him? Yeah. So, like, he. He took me out on my first tour and signed me to my first publishing deal. Okay, so you were, like, writing songs? I was writing with Janssen. Yeah. Okay. Okay. And so now you're, like, doing your own thing. Yes, sir. Hey, Chris Jansen. I don't need you anymore. I'm big time. Right. No, I don't know about you. That. I don't know about that. So what do you do? What's the. What's life on the road like? Is it everything you imagine? Is it so fun or is it like, man, this is a lot harder than I thought. No, it definitely is hard. I say I work harder. So about three and a half years ago, I cut the grass in the medians of the road. No way. Yeah. Tennessee. Yeah. That's what I did for work. So you had the big tractor and you did. You had headphones on. Oh, yeah. Ear protectors. Yeah. With the little blinking light on the tractor and everything. So. But yeah, so I got signed to a record label and had a song called How It Ought to Be that made top 15, is my first song at radio, and met my now fiance, and we closed on our first house. And three days after I closed on the house, I got dropped. Oh.

[Morgan]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was about to be some romantic story. I'm like, oh, that is so cool, dude. Yeah, nothing like that at all. Okay. But I just got a new record deal back at country radio show called Long Live Country. And you still have the house. Still have the house. You still got the fiance. Still got the fiance. And just got a little, little puppy. Okay, okay. Little golden retriever named Leonard. Now, did you get, like, a puppy? Puppy or. Yeah, he's four months old now. My gosh, let me tell you, puppies are hard. Yeah, I've heard that. They're harder than children. Actually, I would agree with that because I've had three children. I have not birthed them. My wife. Yeah, my wife birthed them. I, I, I put them inside of her. But I would say we have a. How did that happen? Actually, so, well, you know, a couple cocktails, and then, you know, one thing led to another, and. And so then we got a puppy. Now he's one years old. He just turned one year this month. And let me tell you. Good gosh, what kind of dog he is. 80% pit bull, 20% Doberman pinscher. Wow. What's his name? Chase. Where'd you come up with that? Well, my kids got to name them. Okay, so you're gonna think paw Patrol. Wrong answer. I don't know what that is. Okay, well, you will if you Ever. If you ever have children, they may like Paw Patrol. Okay. It's the mighty pups. They save the day. It's like Chase and Marshall and sky and Zuma and they're these little puppy dogs that to go, do, you know, whatever. Yeah. Mayor Goodall, all them. And so the one, the main guy is Chase. And Ryder is their guy, meet at the watchtower. And they meet at the Watchtower. And everybody thinks it's after that, but it's really because our dog likes to play Chase. If you chase him around the backyard, he enjoys it. And so they named him Chase. And they want you to make sure they don't mistake it for Paw Patrol. Thank you for clarifying. I know, I know. You were like, holy crap. No, no, no. I'm. I'm gonna sleep better tonight. Yeah, well, you said, how'd you get the name? So that's how we got the name, man. I. I mean, I had to tell you the truth. I mean, I couldn't cut the story short, like if I just said Chase. No, that's cool. It really is. Yeah, it's really fun. My. My one kid wanted to name him Fart Butt. And I was like, not sure. Maybe we'll go without the middle name. So is that the middle name? Yeah, it's Chase Fart Butt Bud. Cuz the other one wanted to name him Bud. And we were like, so you have three children? I have three children. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. And so the oldest got to really pick Chase. And then the middle one was Fart Butt and the youngest one was Butt. Yeah. And so that's why the middle name is Fart Butt. And Chase. Fart Butt Bud. Yeah. Where'd the Bud come from? I don't know. He just wanted to call him Bud, like Air Bud maybe he's never seen. Oh, that's a great movie. I'm gonna write that down. We need to write Watch Air Bud because you know what they really like right now is Rookie of the Year. Oh, yeah, That's a good one. Oh my gosh. We showed them that one like a couple months ago and it is like, that's all they want to watch. Yeah. And my, my middle child in the backyard loves to go. Henry Rowan Gardner. And he falls and he falls on the ground. He.

[Morgan]

Oh, my arm. Arm.

[Bobby Bones]

He does that probably 20 times a day. Yeah. And they walk around the house. Pitchers got a big butt pitch, you know, things like that. So they love that movie. And then the other one they really like Daddy Daycare. You ever seen that one? I haven't seen that. Let me tell you, it's pretty good. I've seen Daddy's Home. Oh, I haven't seen that one. Is that with ice Cube or is that. Are we there yet? Okay, I haven't seen that one. It's a good one. You need to watch it. And Mark Wahlberg. Okay. Yeah, it's a good one. Air bud. Seems like a good one. That's the one with. I heard they're coming out with a new one too. Really? Yeah. Maybe that's fake. I don't know. What I do need to show another one I thought about showing them is Free Willy. Have you ever seen that one? No. See? Neither have I. That's a good one. Yeah. But you know what we. We are watching a lot of now? Pink Panther. Did you watch Big Panther as a kid? Oh, my God. I watched Barney. Oh, dude. Okay, Barney was a little past me. I'm older than you. Barney was awesome. Hey, thanks for commentating from the sidelines. We're in the middle of an interview here. You love me. All right. The only beef I have with Barney, he made me break my collarbone whenever I was little. Tell me more. I woke up from a nap. Barney was playing. He had a song called Roll Over. Roll over, Roll over. I rolled off the couch, my collarbone. Serious. I'm not joking. That's pretty funny. Yeah, that's. This collarbone. Oh, is it? Still have trouble with it when the weather acts up? Seriously? No, but I did break my collarbone. But I mean, seriously, sometimes when you break a bone, like. Yeah, I just made that up. Well, that's pretty good, though. You got me. And I'm not very gullible, and you got me because you said it so conventionally and you didn't smile. I don't smile a lot. Really? Why not? I'm just kidding. I do. I was like, man, I can. I can do the same thing. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding. So, yeah. What are you doing for the holidays, man? I'm gonna deer hunt. Okay. That's it. I'm sure I'm gonna eat some good food. I've thought about getting a turkey from Popeyes for the first time. Oh, I don't know if there are their turkeys Good. Yeah, they sell turkeys. Okay. They sell turkeys at Popeyes. That sounds like a good idea. That and it's better. I mean, honestly, if it's already cooked. Save so much time. Like people that spend eight hours in the kitchen and then the eating cook. No. Why does it concern you? Do I Cook. Come on, Shane. Do I scream? This guy cooks. No. I mean, I was just wondering. No, no. But I just feel bad because I'm like, they're in the kitchen, and we're just having fun the whole day, and they're just sweating, you know, stressing. And then it's like, eating lasts about 30 minutes, and it's like, you, man, you just spent eight hours doing that, man. Well, here's the thing. So I grew up where we ate leftovers all week. No. No, we did not. We eat the leftovers all week. Yes. And then you finally get tired of turkey because it's like chip beef on toast. You ever do that, where you put the turkey on toast and then put gravy over it? No. Yeah, that's what my mom used to make. All the time. My mom would make turkey pot pie with a leftover turkey. Okay. On about, like, the fourth day. Yeah. It was always turkey sandwiches. Yeah. Yeah. Turkey salad. Turkey salad, yeah. We didn't do salad. We didn't. We couldn't afford lettuce, but. No, no, no, not like that. Oh, like chicken salad sandwich. Okay. With a mayonnaise. Yeah. I don't do mayonnaise, though. Make me vomit mayonnaise. Miracle win. I mean, what do you prefer? Nothing. Pickles and the bread and wait on, like, a ham sandwich. What do you eat? I eat pickles, lettuce, cheese, onions. And you eat it dry? Yeah. Oh, if I go to, like, Jersey Mike's, I'll get whatever that all. Is it olive oil? I don't know what they. Mike's way? Yeah, Mike way. Minus the mayonnaise oil and vinegar. Oil and vinegar. That's what I do on a ham sandwich. You do that? That. Yeah. That's so extra. I would just eat it dry at that point. Maybe put a little dash of water on it or something. That's crazy. Oh, man. Shane. Well, thank you so much for stopping by. Before you go, I want to, you know, we. It's thankful season. Yeah. So we know you're thankful for a lot of things, and we don't want to hear about what you're thankful for. We're wanting. We want to hear about what you're not thankful for. Nashville traffic. Oh, that bad? It's terrible. Terrible. Okay. Could you imagine how much simpler life would be without traffic? I think about it frequently. I think about it like, I'm never in traffic because we get to work so early. So the one time or two times a month that I'm in traffic, I'm like, oh, my Gosh. And my wife's like, it's been three minutes. Relax. Yeah. We haven't been sitting here long. Yeah. My fiance is the same way because she comes in for work. She has to be at work at 8am oh. And leaves at 5. Oh. So. But I would say Nashville traffic and ticks. Oh, really? Yeah. I hate ticks. Okay. You know what's crazy? You're the second person to say ticks. Who is the first? I don't remember. Tenpenny Mitchell. Tenpenny. I can see that. Yeah. Ticks. I mean they're like sand. They get in every crack and crevice. Yes. And then someone has to go get it out. Thanks, Shane. Thanks. Don't miss the CMAs live on ABC, Wednesday night at 8, 7 Central.

[Morgan]

Okay. Okay. Are you, Are you guys ready? We good? Okay. Morgan here with the band Perry. Guys, super exciting, a lot of changes but like, talk to me about what's going through your guys heads right now. Lots of changes since you've seen us last. We're calling this season two of the band Perry. I love that. You know, I took a break from the band back in 2022. It was sort of a moment. Mental health break. Spiritual health break. Creative health break. But I tell you what, I have more energy than maybe when I even started. Like I'm just so ready to put out this new music in the world and just super blessed. To be a part of this week's festivities can be a blast. Oh my gosh. Yes. You. And talk to me too about like that moment in time where you were you considering like maybe just a completely different path of not even going back into this when that was all happening? I don't think so. I don't think it would be possible honestly for me to do something else. I think maybe some of the considerations were like, am I just going to go and be a songwriter and a mom? We do have have a two year old toddler now, which is so much fun. And maybe if he wasn't as wired for the road, it would be more complex. But he loves to sleep on a tour bus and I'm a band girl at heart. I mean, I got to put out some solo music which was so rewarding in so many ways. But I was just chomping at the bit to get back in front of the band and do the band Perry thing. I'm obsessed with it. Yeah. That's so awesome. And speaking of you guys being married, tell me what that's like. I need to know the dynamic.

[Bobby Bones]

It makes it Makes for a lot of onstage fun because I feel like there's some timing, things that in music you share, but also, like, when you know someone's going this side stage left, you're like, cool, I got this side. It's almost like watching a two year old. Yeah.

[Morgan]

And I've watched bands forever with, like, couples in the band, you know, whether it was the White Stripes back in the day or, yeah, Arcade Fire, when Isabel's wife was playing with him on stage. And I just remember being so jealous. I was like, I hope one day my. My husband gets to be in the band. You know, the band. Perry has always been a family band. So this is just our latest iteration of it. Truly. I mean, you guys just took it. When you say new season. This is really like a Netflix show now. That's what this has become. We need that Netflix show. Netflix, if you're watching.

[Bobby Bones]

I love this.

[Morgan]

Okay, so, but then what happens? You guys do have a toddler. You guys are performing on stage. What is that like, as parents, you're like, where's our child? We're worried about performing for the fans. I don't know what's happening. We do have a good, great nanny who travels with us. And, you know, it just. Everybody always says it takes a village, and it truly does. Between grandparents and sister in laws and nannies, he's covered. He just loves to be the center of attention at all times. Shocker.

[Bobby Bones]

He loves a good sound check.

[Morgan]

He loves to play the. Okay, so he might be a new addition. This might be season three. Season three. Whitaker on drums. That's gonna be just a couple years ago. That name, Whitaker. That is so fun. Okay, so. So we got mom life, dad life, and touring life. What else is going on with you guys? Do you guys know? Do you keep up with social media trends? Because I'm guessing you don't, based on how much you guys have going on. I mean, you would be amazed at how much I doom scroll. So hit me. What do you think? Okay, so do you know. Do you know what six, seven means? Okay, I will say I know that six, seven is a phenomenon. I did have to talk to chatgpt about what it meant. And what I'm understanding is that it. It's something that kids don't want us to understand, what it means. It's like their inside joke. Is that accurate or can you enlighten me a little bit more? You're kind of on the right path. The whole purpose is to kind of be an inside joke that nobody else gets. Exactly but it doesn't have a meaning. There's nothing behind it. And here's like, that's kind of what it means. We were actually. Yeah, I was about to go to bed about a week ago.

[Bobby Bones]

My mind is blown.

[Morgan]

And she knows. I was like, this is what Chat said about it.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I'm doing screen scrolling Facebook Marketplace for new instruments.

[Morgan]

He loves gear. Oh, my gosh. Okay, so you're doom scrolling on TikTok with the trim. You're on Facebook Marketplace looking up to meet somebody in a Costco parking lot. Yes, yes, I totally understand.

[Bobby Bones]

Get murdered.

[Morgan]

Tell me, have you had a funny Facebook Marketplace story? Because I have so many funny interactions from Facebook Marketplace.

[Bobby Bones]

I will say you can tell when people are leaving friends bands by what they're selling. They're like, I will never play drums again. And they're selling all of their equipment. I'll sell. Like, I'm not going to name any names, but I was like, oh, boy. Sad Seago.

[Morgan]

The local gear hunt is hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

The local Nashville gear hunt is pretty fun. That's funny.

[Morgan]

You get to see the drama before it comes out. Exactly. Which is what Facebook's always been so amazing at. Exactly. Okay, last question for you guys. Thanksgiving is coming up, and typically, always everybody asks, what are you thankful for? And we know so many things, but what are you not thankful for? What am I not thankful for? Oh, wow. I feel like I've never heard of it from this direction. Does something come to your mind? Are you guys on the same wavelength? Also, I'm looking at you guys and I'm seeing if you're reading each other's brains, like, you're kind of in sync in certain ways. I think we're trying to both come up with, like, a clever answer, and it's like, who can come up with the most clever thing that you're not thankful for? I mean, I guess for me, I can just say, because today I'm having this experience. I am not thankful for having to figure out how these bangs are supposed to work on my head. Okay. I am thankful that I cut them, because I'm here for it. But figuring out how to style them is quite a headache these days. No, listen, I had a bang era. I loved it. It was my most fun era. But I'm telling you, styling bangs were my worst enemy. It's so hard. So thank God. I am thankful, though, for the little. The creaseless clips. You know what I'm talking about? I do. I know exactly what we're talking about. Saving my life. Right now. But we're not thankful for learning how to style bangs. Okay. Hundred. All right. What do you got thankful for?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not thankful for holiday season. Coming into holiday cookies. Papa Juan likes a good sugar cookie.

[Morgan]

He does.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not thankful for all the sweets.

[Morgan]

We'Re about to consume because so many calories. Okay, that's fair. I'm thankful. Not thankful.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Sorry. Not sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

Starvation. And then we'll get into the next.

[Morgan]

Two months, prepare for the hibernation that is about. I do understand that. Well, guys, thanks for joining.

[Bobby Bones]

And you forgot one thing. Since you guys are married. Like, I'm married, and if I get in a fight with my wife, I just go in the other room. Right. Like, if you guys fight before you go on stage, like, how. Like, how does this work? Like, I want to know how that goes.

[Morgan]

Go in the other green room. Just.

[Bobby Bones]

Just separate. It's just that easy. Okay. Because, like, we go to the grocery store, we can't get along. You guys are like a touring band.

[Morgan]

We have looks. It's sort of like, hey, I need space right now. You need space right now. But nobody else really knows. We have, like, our own little.

[Bobby Bones]

It's Casamigos reposado. I think that's a nice little tequila with that little watermelon Red Bull. It's a pep in your step and some chill in your grill.

[Morgan]

The marital cocktail of choice.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, back to you, Morgan. Sorry.

[Morgan]

That was lunchbox, everybody. Thank you for adding it. And, guys, thanks for joining. Thanks for talking about it. We're excited for your next season. Thank you so much.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you so much.

[Morgan]

Oh, my gosh. So hilarious.

[Bobby Bones]

Broadcasting from the CMA Awards, it's the Bobby Bomb Show. Yeah. All right. I mean, I wore jeans, so I know I look good.

[Morgan]

Oh, boy.

[Bobby Bones]

I stepped it up today.

[Morgan]

Tenille Arts is here with us right now. Tenille, how are you? How's life going lately? I am good. I'm excited. New music. Yeah. What is the new music that you're most looking forward to this year? So I have a new song coming called don't ruin Flowers, and it's basically about how guys should not give apology flowers. I'm not a believer in this.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought you were gonna say they shouldn't give flowers, period. And I was like, I can get behind this movement.

[Morgan]

No, no.

[Bobby Bones]

You know why? Because they're so expensive, and they die in two days.

[Morgan]

Okay, true. But if it's just like. I mean, it can be so simple. It can literally be a little flower off the side. Of the road. And it means so much more if you're like, I was just thinking about you versus getting flowers for something that they did wrong. And you're like, now it just has to sit there on the table. And you just look at it like, they're not beautiful anymore. They're like a reminder. Danielle, I have this perfect story for you because you want to talk about a bad situation. There was one time where I got.

[Bobby Bones]

Home about all the guys you used to date.

[Morgan]

That was rude. No, this is one particular story. We're talking about flowers. Right? So I got home from a trip, and my ex at the time picked me up, and he had flowers. And I had already had a sneaky suspicion that something bad happened. And so I, like, take the flowers, and I'm kind of iffy about it. And I got that hey, girl message about two days later, and he cheated on me. And those were apology flowers. And I realized it. It Those. Those flowers immediately. In the trash. Exactly. So, yes. This whole song is about, like, don't ruin flowers for me. See, lunchbox don't give apology flowers.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't give flowers.

[Morgan]

I know you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

So I'm safe. Don't worry. Like I said, I don't believe in buying something that's so expensive that's going to pass away very soon.

[Morgan]

Pass away?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Have you had, like, a story like this? Why? What? Yeah, I mean, well, I went through a breakup, and, like. Like, one of my big things. It's okay. We're all good, but we're not heartbroken anymore. But it was, like, one of those things that, like, it's one of my favorite things to get flowers for no reason. Like, it's always just like, if somebody's thinking about you in a checkout line, you know, Trader Joe's, just pick up $5 worth of flowers. It doesn't have to be much. And that was always one of my favorite things. And then I was thinking about, like, again, sneaky suspicion that those flowers were no longer just. I was thinking about you that were apology flowers. And I was like, yeah, no, thank you. And I didn't realize how common this was. Like, I got on breakup tick tock and went down a rabbit hole. And there were so many girls being like, yeah, why do you guys think it's okay to give apology flowers? Like, we don't want those. We. We want an actual apology. So what do we.

[Bobby Bones]

Chocolates.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that's what I was gonna. Let's debate this. What's an apology? That we would accept that Might be worthy of something because not apology flowers. I don't know. I. I don't know. Really think there's anything other than just action, a real apology. That's the very healthy answer. But, like, what about a pair of shoes? You know, like, I would take a trip to New York and a shopping spree. I'll do that. Okay. Yeah, see, but then I'll still dump them like that. Yeah. Like, maybe they'll send me with my girlfriends or something. Okay, see, this is what we need.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's very interesting because I never even think about that. Like, I thought you would just say, I'm sorry, and then you move on with life.

[Morgan]

Depends on how big of a. I was gonna say. If you're doing a shopping spree in a trip, you did something pretty bad. Yeah. But if you just did something a little weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Where do you like to shop? Like, you talking like, like, I mean, I don't know, in New York, where you go shopping? I thought in la, it's like Rodeo Drive, right?

[Morgan]

Sure. I mean, the equivalent. Yeah. You.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, so do you have expensive taste?

[Morgan]

I'm wearing a Goodwill dress right now, so I don't know. Are you a thrifter? I'm a thrifter through and through. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You go thrifting. When you go on the road, you go to different.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, Yeah. I find them. I hit them up. I mean, seriously, I just think that's the way to go. It's. It's a. It's a good time in fast fashion world to. Yeah. And I'm always impressed with thrifters because I cannot find anything. You put me in any store and I get overwhelmed very easily. But you take me in a Goodwill and I super get overwhelmed. So, like, I'm always impressed when people can find the cutest outfits. People do these whole hauls on vintage clothing, and they look so awesome. And I. I would have walked in there and found like a vase and that I would have probably left. It's fun. You also have to, like, shop in, like every section because some of my favorite things I've found in the men's section. So you got to go everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. When I go to the women's, I find some beautiful shirts.

[Morgan]

I'm sure you do really good.

[Bobby Bones]

That's my favorite spot.

[Morgan]

He's wearing one today. You know, are we Goodwill buddies?

[Bobby Bones]

I do do some goodwill. I do. And I do some garage sale, or I just do whatever is free. You know what I mean? Like, free shirts and free clothes.

[Morgan]

It's good.

[Bobby Bones]

I Like, free anything.

[Morgan]

Perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Isn't that the cool thing about being famous, though, is you get free stuff?

I mean, it's so funny because, like, when you actually can, like, maybe buy it for yourself, that's when they want to give it to you. And you're like, I could have used this like five years ago. Right, Right. Isn't that would have been like, the time. Have you had any cool partnerships pop up since all of your fame has come into the picture? I mean, I think the best is a guitar. I have the PRS guitars, and I think that's like one of the best things ever to just like, get to pick guitars that you would have, like, never bought yourself. That's what I think is. Yeah, that is a cool experience. Okay. Thanksgiving week.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Thanksgiving. You know, we want to say Happy Thanksgiving. And we know you're grateful for a lot of things.

[Morgan]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

We don't care about that. We want to know what you are not grateful for.

[Morgan]

What I'm not grateful for? And not just, you know, men who buy apology flowers, because we know that, well, we're just going to lump them into, like, bad people. I'm not grateful for bad people.

[Bobby Bones]

People like, what type of bad people? Like, people that speed or like, what are we talking about?

[Morgan]

People that just, like, make somebody else's life harder for no reason. You know? Like, you don't know what people are going through.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're not grateful for women? No.

[Morgan]

Okay, careful there. You always gotta watch out for that one. You never know what's gonna happen. And we don't make life. You know what? We might make life better. And we also don't buy a bulgy flowers.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you make our wives harder sometimes?

[Morgan]

I think what you're referring to is yes, we do. On purpose sometimes. Because you guys need it.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's what I'm saying. Like, I'm not crazy.

[Morgan]

You're still crazy. But yeah, we do sometimes. But we're also really fun. Exactly. Really fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Morgan]

Danielle, thanks for coming. It's good to see you. Thank you. Good to see you.
