This is a Bobby. Let's go. Hello. Welcome to the show. Morning, studio. Morning. All right, let's get to know. Here's the question. What was your nickname in school? Did you have a nickname? What was your nickname? If you didn't, what was kind of your nickname? I go first, and I'll be very gentle with this because I do understand it's very early in the morning. In seventh grade, offseason football, we wrestled. I was very undersized, but I would take on anybody. And I pick, like one of the big linemen from ninth grade, and he beat me up pretty bad. It was slinging me all over the ring. My shorts ripped. I stopped there. But my nickname from 7th grade all the way to 12th was T Bone. Yeah, I read about that one. Terrible. Hated it. It's the worst trauma. It has nothing to do with Bobby Bones. By the way, the whole school call you T Bone. Yeah, I hated it. It was miserable. That sucked. So that was mine. All T Bone here. Yeah. Good start, Amy. Some called me Motor Mouth Moffett. Motor Mouth Moffett. That was my hilarious last name. What was that for? Some. Some. Not everybody. Yeah. I mean, that's the only nickname I had. Well, one of my neighbors, she called me Famous Amos. And then Motor Mouth Moffat was another one. But why Famous Amos? Because those cookies, My name's Amy. And those cookies, those Famous Amos cookies. So anytime I'd see she's like Famous Amos. I still see her sometimes to this day, and she'll be like Famous Amos. So that just happened to be a cookie. But the Motor Mouth Moffat, which your name was, Moffat, that was probably for. Cause I talked a lot. Yeah, that's. That's, that's funny alliteration too. Yeah, yeah. Lunchbox, Prom King. That wasn't your nickname. That's what they gave me. That's the title they gave me. But did anyone call you that? And also, wasn't that like the end of your senior year? So there really wasn't a nickname? Yeah, I mean, I was just stud, good looking. Mr. Popular. They called you Mr. Popular. You were so popular. Your nickname was Mr. Popular. I mean, yeah. I mean, I was everything under the sun. I mean, I was class. I mean, you just name it that's what. You didn't name anything. You said half of one thing and then you moved off. Yeah, I mean, like I said, they just switched around. Like ladies man. Pimp. They called you Pimp? Nobody called you that. They called you Mr. Popular and Pimp? Yep. Okay. Eddie, do you have any name? Yeah, some people call me Edo, and I liked it. And once in a while, like when I'm typing something and I type my name, I accidentally do Edo, Edo. And I'm like, gosh, that takes me back. Not the whole school didn't call me Edo, but just like a. Certain people. Certain people would be like, edo. What's up? What is up? So that was just because your name. Yeah, it's just like Eddie Edo. I wish I had a name that was just about my name. Not T Bone? No, T Bone had nothing to do with my name. Ray, you have a nickname? Yeah, I mean, I had the sports nicknames, then I had just the school nickname. Some people call me A.C. slater from, say, because your last name was Slater? Yeah. They call you A.C. yeah, in sports. When I played basketball, they called me Total. So I was a total package. Okay. Okay. Total Package. All right, we're gonna get going. Glad you're here. Pimp. Total Edo. Motor mouth. T Bone in the morning. Hello, Bobby Bones. My mom has always decorated her house from the top to the bottom every Christmas. Over the years, she has collected a ridiculous amount of Christmas decorations. When I was a kid, it was cool. House was always so festive. But as my parents have gotten older, my mom has leaned on me more each year to help get all the decorations out, put them all up, and then put all away. The last couple of years, the job has become 100% on me, and it is no longer fun. Now it's just an extra job that I have to do. It stinks. I know I'll miss this when she's not around anymore, but only have so much time. How can I convince her that we should scale back to decorating without upsetting or disappointing her? Signed kid of a Christmas fanatic. To me, it sounds like your mom is getting older. And unless it's keeping you from doing something that you really need to do, you just need to do it. Yep. Cause you're gonna be sad. He didn't. When she's not around anymore, you're gonna be like, I wish I wouldn't have emailed the radio show being kind of. But we're gonna tell you we think you should keep doing it. It's hard though, man. My grandparents My grandpa was into Christmas and he always needed us, our help. And we'd have to go over there, and he'd make like 2 inches in between each stake when we're putting the lights in the ground. And one time I'm in the shed and I'm just complaining the whole time. And my cousin's supposed to be on lookout. And my grandpa walks up and goes, fine, if you guys don't want to be here, you can leave. And I'm like, man. And it's still, to this day, I feel guilty that I should have just enjoyed the moment, even though it was so tedious and so hard. So, yes, just shut up and do it. Shut up and do it. When they're dead, like my grandparents are. You're going to miss those Christmas decorating days. Yeah. I mean, this is the time that you get. I would look at it as, you get to do this right now, and you could take somebody to do it with you, too. Yeah, yeah. Husband, wife, whatever. That's true. Just be. I'm making a thing. Just like, please help me so I can get out of here quicker. But you should do it. That's all. We're making a thing with her, like, of asking questions, talking. They'll know you're checking them. Okay. Yeah, but still, do it, do it, do it. Cause like, Lunchbox just said as he had a tear in his eye. He did? Yeah. And then, like, my cousin just really let me down by. He's supposed to be on lookout. Terrible. Let Grandpa walk up on us. Terrible, terrible. All right, there you go. It's time for us to tell you stuff maybe you didn't know. Heck, we didn't know it until we started searching for what are fun facts. Here's one that didn't make the cut. Yoga was banned in Alabama public schools for nearly 30 years because they thought people would be converting to Hinduism. Oh. Just by doing yoga. They're scared of that and stretching. Yeah. So there you go. All right, let's get to some fun stuff. Go. Fun Fact Friday. I'll go first. The phrase blowing smoke up your blank, do you know where that comes from? No. It comes from doctors. They used to give tobacco enemas to drowning victims to resuscitate them. Really? Up there. Whose idea was that, you know, to begin with, 1700s? I don't know. Oh. But it was probably through, like, a syringe. It wasn't like someone blowing, like. No, yeah, of course. It was probably a tobacco enema. Okay. But they were like, Yeah, I couldn't Smoke. Yeah. Amy, what you got? Did you know snakes can predict earthquakes? That makes sense. Maybe they feel something at a more sensitive level than we do. Yeah, these slithery creatures can sense an upcoming earthquake from a staggering 75 miles away and up to five whole days before it even happens. That's crazy. You start seeing snakes running down the road, you know what's up. Out of here, man. Yep. Lunchbox. Between 7 and 10% of men suffer from shy bladder syndrome, also known as tinkle terror or pee anxiety, where they have difficulty urinating with others around. Pick one of those. I think I would go with I'm not doing the tickle terrors. I like that. Tingle terror. Yeah, I would just go with urine anxiety. Urination anxiety. You guys have that, like around other people? No, no, I could be right here. Yeah, I could just go right now. Anywhere. Yeah, Easy, Eddie. The most common password is 1, 2, 3 4, 5, 6. According to research. Other common passwords are I love you, sunshine and just the word password. Come on. Yeah, a lot of password, but now a lot of places make you do a capital. You have to have letters, numbers and symbols. Yeah. So you can't do 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 anymore. But then don't you just change a letter to a. A symbol that kind of looks like the letter you do, Eddie. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Colon. Right, exactly. All right, Morgan. 152 people in the United States are named LOL. It is their legal birth name and most of them live in Wyoming. So it must be like L Law. Like that must be like a family name. Hey, lol. Lol. Lol. Hey, will you get L over here? I need him for help real quick before I didn't help him build the fence. Oh, lol. Fun fact Friday, it's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good. There's a dude out for a walk in Rhode island and he looks up and he sees a two year old climbing out of the window of a second story apartment. And it climbs out on the little roof. Like imagine just seeing that happening and being. Because you don't really have the power to save it right then, right? And so it's out on the little roof and he's like, hey, go back in the window, go back in the window. Go back in the window. The two year old starts walking towards the edge. He's like, I gotta do something. He climbs up the brick building like Spider man from the outside. So the kid doesn't from the outside and grabs the kid in time before it falls off the little roof, and it's all caught on camera. And. And the dude's name is Good Samaritan. Oh, that's his name. So he wants to be anonymous. He wants to be anonymous. He just wants to be known as a Good Samaritan doing what he was supposed to do. Oh, man, that's so cool. If there's video, though, somebody will surely identify him, right? I mean, they blurred out the kid in the video. I can see the video, but they have the kid's face blurred out. Are you irritated at that? No, I'm just saying. But they don't have it. He has a red hoodie on. Oh, now they're. Was it you? You're wearing a red hoodie. Commercial. There's an ad he has. Oh, he got a commercial. Yeah, he climbed up a whoop. Great. Spider man saved it. He got him. That's awesome. Got him. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Morgan. It seems like you're always in uncomfortable situations with your Uber drivers. Yeah, I don't know why that is. Maybe it's because I'm just, like, a young girl and I'm typically by myself. I don't know. Maybe. Maybe. And you're not a young girl. You're 30 years old. I was rude, but he's right. I look young, though. I don't look like I'm 50 is my point. You're a woman. You got it. What's wrong with that? No, I'm just saying, like, everybody's getting offended here. I just look like your older woman. You're small. You're. I'm little. Like, I'm five foot tall. Right. Okay, Morgan, so what happened to you? Well, dear goodness. So I was in my Uber. I went to. With one of my friends out, and we got an Uber together, and I had ordered it, and this car pulled up, and it was the exact car on my Uber app. And so I opened the door, and I'm like, hey, you're looking for Morgan? And he's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, cool. So we get in. Don't think much of it. This already feels creepy. Yeah. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm looking for Morgan. Yeah. He was just like, yeah, Morgan. You see? Huh. Well, I always ask because I get nervous, and so we get in the car, and I always watch on the Uber app because I've had a lot of uncomfortable rides. So I watch to make sure we're going in the right directions. Well, we make a few of the correct turns, and then all of a sudden, he starts going the complete opposite direction. And I was like, I'm watching it on the Uber app, and I'm kind of sitting there for a few minutes, like, where are we going? Maybe he's taking a different turn. Did he look like the picture? Yeah, I mean, it looked like. It's also dark out. I mean, it was like 1:00am his license plate. But your phone doesn't have a light. Well, I didn't, like, shine on him. Like. Okay, okay. But, yeah, as far as, like, it looked like the picture. It was the right car. Everything was accurate. License plate. I didn't check the license plate because we were on Broadway. So, like, you're moving fast. Okay. And so I'm, like, watching it, and he keeps going wrong direction. And so finally, I'm like, are you sure you're, like, taking us to the right place? And he kind of, like, mumbles back something. He's not really making any words. Young girl won't shut up. Young girl. I got this. Young girl, relax. And I'm like, okay. And I kind of look at my friend. We're both getting a little uncomfortable, and we're still going in the wrong direction. And finally I'm like, sir, are you sure you were supposed to be picking us up? He's like, no, I'm not even an Uber driver. And I was like, okay, can you just stop? Just stop the car. Just stop the car. We'll get out right here. Why did he let you get in? I don't know. I have no idea, man. You could have been murdered. Yeah, it could have been over. Yeah. Like, that's. When you get out of the car, take a picture of the lice light, and call 9. 1. Okay, first of all, yes, that's bad. But you got into his car. I asked. I was like, are you looking for Morgan? And he's like, are you? Yes. Maybe he thought, are you looking for, like, a good time? Yeah. Does Morgan mean something else? Like. No. No. So he lets you. He lets you out? He does let us out. I. You know, I don't. I don't know if he thought. We were just so drunk, we weren't paying attention, and that was the. You know, the scenario. But I was very sober, and so I knew what was happening. And so he did pull over. He let us out, and we were, like, in a warehouse district. Like, it was dark out, and I'm like, we are not in a good place. So I'm like, quickly ordering an Uber. We had to wait 20 more minutes for a different. An actual Uber to show up. It was a really bad situation. What do we learn from this? I. We learned that I still. I think that's partially Morgan's fault. Yeah, you gotta check all the. Check the license. You gotta check every last three numbers of license plates. What I do, and I think it is good to see if they are there for you. But maybe we open the door and say, hey, who are you here for? Because then they'll have to say your name back to you. If you give them your name, then they're like, that's a good point. So you say, oh, hey, who are you here for? And they say, I can't believe he said, I'm not even an Uber driver. That's crazy. Like, did you say what was your plan? No, I was just in shock. I was just like, pull over, just pull over. Just get us out of the car. How fast were you going at that point? I mean, he's probably going 40. We weren't on a highway. We were on like a back road, essentially. I was gonna say. I don't even know if I would just say pull over. I'd have been diving out. But anything cuz, like mint in the middle. Yeah, man, that's what they all have. Chart, extra charges, phone up. Like a map was up. It was weird. It was really weird. And you didn't take a picture of the license plate and call 911 afterwards? Like, honestly, all of this shocked me. Like, yes, I'm paying attention. I'm very aware of my surroundings. But like, she did get in his car. Yes. Did he happen to be like a Lyft driver? And like, you said Uber, so he's like, no. Grubhub. Idiot. Did you open the door and say, are you here for young girls? No. And apparently I'm not a young girl. I said, are you here for Morgan? That is so weird. That is so weird. I'm worried. Morgan, you stay home. Yeah, you need to know that's over. No more going out for you. Hey, young girl. No more going out for you. You're grounded. Yeah, apparently I'm old, so I need to stay home anyway. Yes. Okay, look at the license plate, everybody. Yeah, last three letters. License plate. Match it up. License plate. Also, who are you here for? And if they say Morgan, then that's probably not you. Morgan's a code word for young girls. Oh, I mean, you hear. You want to hear? Good. I mean, no, I shouldn't read the story. Well, there are. They make you say codes and stuff now. And that one for whatever. Like obviously he didn't. There was no code. Is it a bad story? It's really bad, dude. What kind of car? Like, did they kill somebody? Yeah, woman mistook a car for an Uber guy. Oh yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Those are bad because I easily could have been Morgan easily. Especially if she didn't have her friend with her. Yeah, I'm really glad I was not by myself. But this is a good psa. Good. All right, thank you guys. Psa. Don't pick up Morgan. She'll get anybody's car, apparently. Here's a little tip for all the music fans out there.

Psychologists say that most fan relationships of famous people and even sports teams are positive. They increase media enjoyment, they improve your emotional well being, and they provide a sense of companionship. I would completely agree with that. I think part of the reason Now I know part of the reason that I love the Arkansas Razorback so much is it was basically the only stable thing I ever had in my childhood. Meaning as I was moving around, as I was, who knows? I knew every Saturday Arkansas was going to Play. And it was going to be on free tv. And I knew on Tuesdays it'd be basketball games. And that was the one thing that no matter where I went, it was always happening. I'd have a lot of consistency. That was always super consistent for me. I'm sure that's why I'm so. What's emotional about it, good or bad? Well, now I'm gonna not want to ever make fun of the fact that. How heartbroken you get. Oh, no, you should. I'm definitely a loser. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I should have gotten out of this. I mean, I'm 43, so. But I feel like whatever. What everybody else's excuse to be obsessed with the teams. Well. Or. Hold on. I don't know. She's judging. I'm not judging. Taylor Swift. A picture. You took an art class to paint a picture for Taylor Swift? Just to give it to her? Yeah, Amy. And she told me I was so talented. I still remember it. She said, you are so talented. So, like, I know. What is. What is your deal? I mean, for. It was for a while, Taylor. I feel like that kind of fizzled off the older I got. But who is it now? Good question. Once we saw a woman named Kimberly Snyder or something in a. Oh, yeah, that's old vegan vegetarian type place. And he was like, I'm so nervous to talk to her. I was like, she cooks broccoli, right? We're all people. I know. And I went up and I was like, what up? Oh, yeah. Bobby said hi. And I was like, okay, fine, I'll say hi. And then Bobby's like, get a picture. And I was like, oh, my gosh. Who is okay around the room? The most famous person or thing that you just are obsessed or love? Mine for sure is the Arkansas Razorbacks. Okay, you have to pick one. Okay. Okay, I'll pick one. I'll go with right now. Reese Witherspoon. It's good. Morgan. Can I choose, like, Marvel superheroes? You can do whatever you want. Does that count? Yeah, Marvel. Okay. Okay. Yeah, just Marvel in general. The superheroes in general. Yeah. Like all superheroes. If you got to make out with one superhero, which one would it be? Captain America. Okay. Is it because of him the actor or because of him the character? Oh, the world? Both. Got it. Got it. It definitely. It turns you on when he's the character, too. What? Okay. Yeah, yeah. Eddie the Dallas Cowboys. But I don't want to make out with any of them. No, I just. I just get it. Cowboys for you. Cowboys Raymundo Sam Haunt. We've been going 10 years strong. No fizzle there. Okay. Scuba Steve, mine's your Luna magic. And I would make out the entire team. And then, Abby, what about you? Basketball. Yeah. Yeah. That's your most passionate fandom type thing. Oh, yeah. At Allen Field House, do you go to games at all? Oh, every. I went to every game in college, and I tried to. When I'm home, like, for Christmas, I go. You still go to game of year? Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Love. It might be easily Post Malone. Oh, yeah. Love Post Malone. Yeah. Mighty. Love Post Malone. But I like the sports ones with y'all. Like, all. That's from your childhood, which is. Mine is for sure. In a while. Your parents were Cowboys fans, right? My mom is the biggest Cowboys fan. Abby's from Kansas. Yeah. Abby, were your parents big Jayhawks fans? Yes. My grandpa and my aunts went there, and. Gosh, I just don't have that. I mean, someone from my childhood that I've always been obsessed with. George Straight. Right. But I don't work on his ranch. Yeah. And I mean, yes. So from early on to now, I would be obsessed with him, but in a healthy way. And just in case he hears this, I. I just don't have a sports team that I. But you don't like sports. Gravitate towards. You're not a sports person. So feeling. I know, but, like, my grandma had pictures of Bear Bryant in her living room. They had a crimson van with an elephant tire cover. They bowled. They had elephant bowling pins. They were hardcore. But, like, I never. It's not like I grew up being like, oh, I've got to go to Alabama. I don't either. You're crazy. All right, thank you, everybody. It's time for the good news producer Eddie, tell me something good. Alvin is a mailman from Dallas, Texas, and he's been doing this for 20 years, but he's also a Marine Corps veteran. So he's at work. He's going through his mail bag, and at the very bottom, he finds these old letters, like, what is this? It's a Christmas card from 1942, which is World War II. Do we think that no one had gotten to the bottom of the bag is. I guess there are, like, so many hampters in, like, the mail room or whatever that sometimes mail just gets lost in those things. What'd you call them? A hampter. A hamper. Hamper. Hamper. But from 1942. And he's, like, reaching the. Gee. So he finds that And a bunch of other letters from that same time. He's like, this is crazy. He looks at them. They're addressed to Mr. And Mrs. Henry Lamb of Jacksonville, Arkansas. He's like, these are World War II letters from a soldier. So he got in his own car on his day off, drove 379 miles, found the people that it was addressed to and delivered to him themselves. Are they still alive? They're still alive. Yeah. I mean, the family. Somebody in the family, Whoever owned that house, whether it's like a daughter or son or whatever. Yeah, they were still there in their 80s. I'm going to be willing to bet that if that mailman wasn't a former veteran. Veteran. He's veteran now, but a former military member, he wouldn't have done that. I don't know. Some men are good, but I bet that meant extra to him because he had also served. Yeah. And also, I hear that, like, you can get a job as a mailman. That's, like, the greatest job. Why? Benefits like a government job. You get all the holidays off. Yeah, but they always seem like they're in a bad mood. Not my mailman. My mailman's, like, always nice, but just people at the post office don't seem very happy. But that's not a mailman. But also, sometimes people in line at the post office, the customers are. Can be equally as rude. And the lighting in there. But also, you're not a mailman. Those are postal workers. There's a distinct difference there. I'm always weirded out by the mailman with the. Or mail woman, whatever. With the steering wheel on the wrong side. Yeah. You guess. They can go to, like, London and just, like, kill it. I didn't think about that. Just like, driving. They feel better driving in the uk. That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. These are the top nine driving distractions and cause a crash. Oh, man. Go ahead. Phone. Phone comes in at number two. Yeah, good. Putting on makeup. I've seen people do that. Putting on makeup. Yep. No eating and driving. Number seven, kids. Okay, let's see here, kids. Is a good one. Amy, Other passengers. I'll give you that one. Music. Oh, the radio. What about jamming out or laughing at our show Lunchbox? That guy is so funny. Crash. Okay, that was kind of funny. Hey, listen. That was kind of funny. I'll be honest. That was a good one, but that's not it. Yeah. Okay. Do we say phone? We say phone. Anything else? Music? No. They just said, like, that was the one. Lunchbox crash. He's so funny. Number nine. Pets. Oh, reading a book. Number I've seen. Stupid again. I think just because you've seen it, though, doesn't mean it's one of the most common. Number eight, messing with things like the ac, like the cyst, like, trying to change the system, stuff like the ac, the heat. Number seven, eating and driving. Oh, I know. I know what number one is. Go ahead. Making out. No other passengers. Number five, reaching for stuff like in the backseat or other floorboards, and you swing over. Number four, lack of sleep. Oh, dang. Number three, looking at stuff outside your vehicle, like billboards, even. Oh, daydreaming. That's one. But billboards are everywhere. Two is cell phones. One is daydreaming. I always feel like billboards are made for the passenger, not the driver. They're supposed to be, but if there's a phone number, what do you do? Yeah, it's not like you can look at it very long. You'll wreck. And then you have those billboards that change in the middle. And then you're just like, whoa. You know you gotta turn around. Cause you just missed out what it said. All right, those are your top nine. Amy, you ready for the Corny? Here we go. Morning Corny. The Morning Corny. Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of wool? Nope. She gave birth to Mittens. That was the Morning Corny. Dude, that is funny. Like kittens. Yeah, but mittens. Because it was wool. Because. I got it. Okay, okay. I like that one. I got it. Friday morning conversation win. Yeah, right. Stapleton, Good to see you, buddy. What's your hat there? That's Nashville. Oh, yeah. Okay. Right there on it. Boom. Nashville sounds. I think so. You a big baseball guy? I like baseball. Yeah. I used to be a big baseball guy, and I stumbled kind of a baseball guy. But baseball's kind of too slow now. They play too many games. 162 games. I can't keep up with enough to be a big. They changed the rule, though. The pitch. The pitch clock. Yeah. And that speeds it up, but it's still 162 games. You don't have to watch all of them. I do, because I'm gonna bet them. No, no, no, no. So I gotta. I gotta watch them all. What about football? You watch a lot of football? No, no. I mean, I don't watch a lot of sports, period. I like to go to games. What's your favorite kind of game to go to? A good one. Yeah. You know, any sport, it doesn't matter, you know, if it's a good game, I, you know, a slow game that's, you know, kind of sloppy play. I don't want to see that, but I want to see guys, you know, getting after it. What about coaching? Would you ever coach? No. Your kids, you want to coach any 17 year old teacher? I'm a terrible coach. I don't think I could do any of that. Why? You're a warm. I feel like you're a warm person. You know, you write lyrics, you know what to say. Why don't you feel like you never assistant coached? No. No, Couldn't do it. No. Patience. I have patience. I just don't have the skill to teach. It's a real skill. It's like a talent. It's not. Eddie coaches kids. Yeah. Nine year old basketball. Yeah. Dude never played games. Like I do it. He thinks about square. Do they get better? Yeah, yeah, we won a few games. Just a few. Okay. Well, you know, I don't know. I mean a lot of it also has to do with our work on the weekends a lot. So. Yeah. You know, and a lot of all of those things happen on the weekends. Yeah. The great thing about working on the weekends is you like, if you want to like drop your kids off of school, you could probably do that and think about that. For artists like you guys are able to have like a somewhat normal in an abnormal life. Like that would be pretty nice. Because you're gone every weekend. Not every weekend. I mean you try to adjust that. Yeah, you're not. But like my life. I gotta wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning. It sucks. I don't know. No, I do. It sucks. Chris, I think you didn't hear me. What time are you done? 10:00pm 10:00pm okay. And you have to go to bed at like what time? 10:00pm 10:00pm Yeah, I match work all day, all night. Yeah. I don't have any kids yet though. Right. So I have five. So you and I have nothing to talk about, you know. So let me ask you a couple questions about me then because we're eventually we're gonna have kids. Right. What's fun about them? There's lots of stuff that's fun about this because I feel like it's like it's. They're just taking up time. Like what's, what's fulfilling about time? I don't have any kids. Right. I'm literally asking you a question. You have five kids. But what's. What, what do I do. What do I do? You just always gotta take care of them. I've been very selfish my whole life. I've lived by myself. I didn't get married till 40, and I don't have any kids. But it just feels like, holy crap. Once you have a kid, you don't even have a life anymore. True or false? I think that's false. You have a different life. Okay. You know, it's a different life. Your life is, you know, is in a lot of ways, dedicated to, you know, helping them become. I just feel like I'm too selfish for that. I don't think you are. I think you probably have it. Like, you do a lot of charity work. I do. I think a fear, too, is I don't have a dad growing up and. Right. And I didn't have parents that were together and my mom was out. I never saw models. I never saw parents. Okay. So maybe I feel like maybe I'm just scared I'm gonna be a terrible parent, and I'm using all of this as a cover for that. Okay, well, I mean, that could. That could be true. That sounds like a. I'm not a therapist here, but, wow, this got real hard. Play one. Play a therapist. You got five kids. I'm scared to death I'm gonna be like my biological father, but jump out. Well, I mean, I think there's a. Wanting to be better than the parents that you had. Yeah. Even if you had good parents is if you start there, you're in a good spot. Yeah. I think it just scares me when somebody says they have two kids. I'm like, what? Like, why? What other things scare you? Heights. Heights. I'm scared of heights. I got that one. You ever jumped out of a plane? No, I didn't. I wanted to. I didn't. You jumped out of a plane? See, you're scared of heights. You jump out of. I did it by myself. I drove up to the place by myself because I was scared to death and said, I want to jump out of a plane. And they thought I was like a suicide bomber or something. I was by myself going, I want to jump out of a plane. And so I went up with a family I didn't know and jumped out of a plane. Did you do it because you were afraid of it? Yes. So by that logic, are you going to have kids just because you're afraid of it? Not just because I will have kids because I love my wife, and she. And I think I do want to have kids, but if I jump out of the plane and I die. That's on me. I bring a kid into the world and I suck. That's on them. You know this and you know, listen, you're going to fail. We're all going to fail as parents 100%. You can't be a perfected parent. And I think you have to allow yourself that. And then, you know, discuss it with your children too. Like, you know, it's okay to apologize. Your children say, hey man, sorry I was out of line there. And that's not something that we had as a generation, I don't think before us or even particularly before our parents generation like. But I think that's probably the healthiest way to handle it, is allow yourself to be human in it and your kids will see that and hopefully forgive you for your shortcomings and then really kind of adopt your strengths. I'll have a kid, you jump out of a plane. We'll make the deal right here. I don't think I'm allowed to jump. I don't think my life insurance allows me to jump out of the plane. I'm playing.

Okay, look, I got two final questions for you. You know I love you. Got two final questions I keep here all day. You are known as a prolific songwriter now and guitar player, but I'm going to ask you to put that back on somebody else. Have you ever been in the room and it could be one of your buddies, it could be somebody you wrote with the first time that had a concept or a lyric that you were just like, oh my God, that is awesome. Yes. Pretty much every time I ride with somebody, what comes to mind is one of the last times that happened. I mean, once again, I've co written with somebody maybe once in the last two years, so I don't do a lot of that anymore. What about one of your hits from five years ago? Somebody gives you like a great lyric inside of it. Well, I mean, most of the time when that happens, it would have been with Mike Henderson, who's no longer with us, but he was a poet, you know. And I would walk into that a lot in that room and to be blown away. Yeah. Just like, well, okay. Yeah, I'm, I'm. My function in that room most of the time was to make up a melody. Do you get tagged or people want to always show you? People singing Tennessee Whiskey, I would assume everywhere you go. Not a lot. I mean, people will send to me when they're in some place that they don't think that they're going to hear it. Like somebody being Mexico and send a Marriott band planet, which is awesome. Yeah, that's like that song when I was on Idol too, everybody would try to sing. You have made that song just ubiquitous in all the music. Yeah. And I don't know if that gets to you because you're in it, but man, it's even from all the shows and musical and this. Everybody wants to sing that song all the time where it's like, cool, that's good. But let's stop like. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of the point. I mean, I'm sure there's, there's. It's become Etta James at last. They do that too a lot. Yeah. Like great song. But when so many people sing it. Yeah. Well, it's hard, you know, Like Willie Else is Crazy is another song like that that. I'm not saying it's not Willie or the song, but it's the people that keeps in every version of it. And there's so many versions of songs. Like, sometimes, you know, and sometimes they're. They're done, too. Like, you don't need to do them, and. But there's always somebody that can, you know, bring something to it. So that. That's always. I mean, and I think the real challenge, when you have a song that becomes that recognizable or fun for people to sing, the challenge becomes, what can you bring to it? And it's almost like some kind of game for people, for singers almost, you know, like, I'm gonna put this on it, and I don't know. Do you ever not want to sing that song anymore? No. Why would I not want to sing that song? I don't know. Cause you sing it so many times. I mean, I've sing a lot of songs. A lot of times that that song is the reason that you're sitting there talking to me right now. You were on before that. We had you on before that. That's true. That's true. You did, but. But that's the reason that you continue to talk to me. I'm in love with you. That's why I continue to talk to you. Because I'm in love. You have a lot of people on this show that sometimes. And I probably was in this category at one point where. And forgive me for not know how it works, but I think you probably have to have them on because they have a current single out or. I used to have to do that. Not anymore. Not doing anything relaxing. I don't want to do anymore. Okay. Every once in a while thing. But mostly it's like, well. But also sometimes it's a relationship thing, I'm sure, where it's like, hey, I got my guy here. Bring him on. For sure. This is the new act. She was really good. I think she'd check it out and you have to roll the dice on those things sometimes, I think. And that's one of the strengths of this show, I think, is you bring people on that nobody's ever heard of, which I was one of those people. At some point. Megan Maroney covered what are you listening to? You played that on the show before. Have you heard her version? I don't think I have. Oh, my God. It's awesome. It's like that song was so. I was always so disappointed that wasn't that first song, because when you. That was that song. I loved it. I think everything worked out like it was supposed to. It's all good. You believe in that. Do you believe in everything working out? Like, it's. I do. Even you know, particularly in the times that you're frustrated, thinking that something's supposed to be. I don't understand. This is. This is a good whatever, and it applies to any part of life, I think. You know, when things aren't working out like you think they should, and you've done all the things that you think you're supposed to do to get the result that you think you're supposed to get, and it's just not lining up. I think if you can take a deep breath in those moments and go, all right, well, there's a reason none of this is lining up. I don't know what it is at this moment. I can't see it. I'm not happy about it. But move on with time and keep on pushing, and eventually you get to a place where you're like, oh, the reason that this didn't happen is because this other thing needed to happen. That's like Marcus Aurelius, like, meditation is the book. He just gave the whole book right there. And also, it's like, that's why he hasn't taken plural murals. There's got to be a real reason. There must be a really good. I mean, I've been thinking about it the whole time. I do think it's a shuffle. Okay, well, let me know. I just don't have the melody, but okay. Chris, congratulations. I love when you come around, man. Thank you. Yeah, it's awesome. You guys heard of this guy? Chris Stapleton? Oh, all right. There he is. Chris Stapleton, everybody. Nice job. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, Then you turn the radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear, eddie, Emmy, lunchbox, more game two scoop of Steve. Ran Abbott trying put you through m rigs next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. I had to give lunchbox money for this bit. But he also used his money, right? Correct. So I'm good. So we had to tell me something good. Where a lady was in line at the store. The person in front of her was struggling to pay for whatever reason. Credit card didn't work. They didn't have any money. She said, let me get it for you. She paid for the person's groceries. So I said to lunchbox, why don't you do this and get some of that magic karma? Maybe that's why she won. Maybe the ticket she bought didn't have the number. All of a sudden, she bought it. It existed after that. Can't prove it didn't yeah, Correct. So you go to the store, you take 50 bucks from me. Yeah, 50 bucks from you. 50 bucks from me. Did you put. You promise with your den? I put more than that, actually. It got difficult, man. What do you mean? I mean like, you would be in line and the person in front of you, it looks like they just have a, like a drink or a candy bar. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, wait, I gotta grab this. And they grab a case of beer. No, no, before you don't know it. And then they have, oh, I need two packs of or two things, a dip. And it's like, ah, let me get out of line. Get back in line. And I go to the back of the line and try to get the next person. So it took a lot long. I thought it was just gonna be easy where people are buying the Snickers, you pay for it. It's like $2. Let's get out of there with the lottery ticket. So anybody that did what you said, you just left, you didn't buy it? Didn't help. Yeah, yeah. Here, here's the first clip. What am I playing here? This is me at the gas station, man. This is just me going in and acting like I'm just there to shop and then just my heart is just bursting with. Do something nice. Can I pay for those? I'm gonna, I'm gonna buy her. She's been working hard all day. I bet. I'm gonna. I'm gonna do something nice. You know what I mean? Yeah. I'm gonna buy her drink and her cigarettes. Here's my idea. That's so nice. Yeah. Do you want this money? I don't want that money. I'm gonna pay for it. I am serious. About to start counters. No, don't count quarters. Don't count quarters. We're gonna do the. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm gonna buy a twenty dollar scratch off. You know what I mean? Like, not saying I need the good karma. I'm just saying, hey, I just want to buy for you. That makes me smile. Yeah. Which one do I want? What's the best? 21. There's no catch. No catch, no catches. I mean, ooh, thank you. Not that I'm saying you smoke. Oh, oh, she already left. She didn't want to hear me talk about not smoking. What's great is she's so excited. That really helped her. That I love. Yeah. She had a 32 ounce coke and a pack of cigarettes. Great. And she was like, oh, I don't want. Have to Count quarters. So we helped make her day a little better. We did. Why did you say, though, the karma thing? You shouldn't even address it like that. Probably killed that ticket immediately. Like, you're doing good. You don't have to talk about it. Yeah, yeah. I was saying it's not. Don't worry. It ain't for karma, and that's what I said. Well, now you're lying now. So you got a ticket? Yep. Okay. Is it with you? It's with me. We haven't scratched them yet, right? Nope. Okay, let's do another clip. Let me go ahead and get this. I'm gonna get this for him. Just do something nice. I'm all about doing something nice, man. So I'm gonna pay for that. Yeah, would you get a hot dog and a water? That's good. Yeah, I'm gonna buy that. 1069. 1069. Boom. There you go. It's yours. That's what I'm talking about, you know, just trying to do something nice, you know? That is nice. And then let's see a 20 scratcher. Where we got. I got the. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to me. Let's do it. Ho, ho, ho. Here we go. That one could be a winner because he didn't even address. I didn't even address it. Good job. Good job. All right. Who knew a hot dog and water was 10 bucks? Inflation, man. Good inflation. Thanks, Obama. All right, here we go. Give us one more. Oh, wait. Excuse me, ma'am. Can I do something? Like, there's something at the bottom of my kindness of my heart. I want to pay for hers. Is that okay? Yeah, there's just something. Yeah, there's just like, my heart's so big, full of love, and I just want to, you know, like, pay for that for you. Yeah. You're welcome. It's just, you know, my heart was, like, bumping, like, ah. Do something nice. Do something nice. And so that's what I'm doing. I got it. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. Yeah, it's just my goodness of my heart. You know, sometimes your heart just tells you something nice and you gotta do it. Yep, you definitely do. Always make it. Oh, I like it. Says win big on there. I like that. Well, you didn't dress the karma. It was weird. You kept talking about how big your heart was. Yeah, I just told him why I was doing it. It was my heart speaking to me. Yeah. Do you have the tickets? I got them. Can I see them? Oh, yeah. You want to see them? I'm happy to pay you. Pay you whatever for the other half of that. No, that's good karma, man. He's good. He's good. Just tell me what. What you spent. I'm happy to jump in. We have all these tickets that we bought, hopefully with good karma. Yeah, great karma. Is it 420 years? 420 years, baby. And 420 doesn't. It's 420 tickets, right? Yeah. So here's what we're gonna do. You pick. Oh, let me have one. Yeah, one Merry Christmas. I take one. Merry Christmas, and we'll play a song here. And then what about the win Big and the Millionaire Jumbo? Just give me whichever one you want. We'll play this. We'll come back. Bobby, Bon. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, now we're going. All right, Bobby, why don't you. So here's the deal. Lunchbox went to the store equipped with money, and somebody would be paying for something. He's like, you know what? I just want to help you out. Let me pay for it. He paid for their groceries, but with the intention of hopefully getting some good karma, because then we bought these lottery tickets. But then he would say that he wasn't doing it. No, no, I did not. And one of them. You said, I'm doing it for karma. No, I said I'm not. Exactly. I don't know what. But you are. And that. I think it's like fight Club. You don't talk about it. Not that I'm doing this for karma. Not doing. Just doing it for kindness. Okay. That's what I said. So we had four $20 scratchers, and we spent our time scratching, and I looked at the odds. The odds to win anything is one in 2.82. Oh, okay. So we should have at least hit 20 bucks on one of these four. So lunchbox on your merry Christmas ticket. I have mine here. Yeah, yeah, Let me check that one. Oh, I got that one right here. Yeah, I'll go first. My merry Christmas ticket. Not merry. Zero dollars. Wow. Zero lunchbox. Merry Christmas. Come on, come on. Ho, ho, ho. Whole lot of $20. Okay, we're back to even on that ticket. Okay. All right. Okay. Okay. We're still fighting. Okay. Ho, ho. Whole other $20. Good one. Okay, the next one I have Millionaire jumbo bucks. Oh, I like that. Went up to a million dollars, and you can win up to 20 times. Match any of your numbers to the eight serial numbers, price shown, you get jumbo. So jumbo Jumbo numbo. No, I won nothing. There we go. Zero, nothing. Hey. So that means it's all up to me, buddy. Come on. Take us home country roads to the place with the law. This is called win big. Win big? Yeah. You're known for doing things big. That's right. That's what she saw you do. Let's go. She does say it went up to $1 million. Buddy, you gotta reveal this symbol and win cash instantly. Let's go. Didn't get any of those. No symbols. Okay. We're still in the mix here. Didn't match any of your numbers. And the winning number win the prize shown for that, get a money bag and win double that prize. 10x symbol. 10 times your money. A 20x 20 times your money. Okay, What'd you get? Do we get anything? We won. Oh, we. Hold on, hold on. Did we win something? Oh, yeah. No way. No way. No. That's what we do. That's what she said. Yeah, that's what we do. Okay. It said win big. We won big. We won. Twenty dollar bill. Okay. Forty total. Yeah. And you know what? This forty still has that karma attached to it. Exactly. So I don't have to buy anything else for those people. Correct. I just have to. No more good deeds. Just go and buy two more tickets for 20 bucks each. But is the fact that you guys are doing this with that purpose, it doesn't matter. As long as you're helping somebody, it doesn't matter. Yeah, but for him to say and, oh, he probably ruined that ticket. That was the one ticket I probably got. Because I think the reason you're doing something matters more than you just saying. You're doing it like this. Win big one was the clip where I told her I just. Something down the bottom of my heart. Okay, do that bit again. Okay. All right. Okay. We're still in. All we got. We just want to fight and chant. Chipping the chair is all we need. That's right. You only need one shot. That's it. One opportunity. Mom's spaghetti. That's what she said. We are going home.

If I could bring my music with me wherever I go, it just make life easier and seamless without interruption. To be able to have the music on hand like that without any interruptions would be great.

Here's BetterHelp head of clinical operations Hes Yoo Jo discussing who can benefit from therapy. I think a lot of people think that you're supposed to be going to therapy once you're like having panic attacks every day. But before you get to that point, I think once you start even noticing that you feel a little bit off and you can't maintain this harmony that you once had in relationships, that could be a sign that maybe you want to go talk to somebody. There's always a benefit in talking to someone because we can all benefit from improved insight about ourselves and who we are and how we behave with other people.
