Come on. Transmitting across America. Welcome to Friday's show. We got a big one. Morning, studio. Morning. Let's go around the room. If you could invent a holiday, what would it be? You could invent a holiday, what would it be? I'll go first. It would be National Left Handers Day. But everything has to be built for us for once in our life. Meaning desks, scissors, ball gloves. You need to be able to find ball gloves and guitars and there's a real struggle with being left handed and you just accept it and forget that. You guys, right handers have it a lot easier than left handers after a while because it's just a difficult life. And I would have National Left Hander Day where all the stuff that or you guys just have to suffer through what we have to suffer. Why? Why do we ask? You can never find anything that man. So I would go and we also get. Everybody gets 500 is left handed and you have to prove it by throwing a ball through a hole. Oh, they can't just claim it. Oh. National Left Handers Day as my holiday. The end. Amy. National no parenting Day. The government provides care. That's what I was going to do. Just like, I don't know, go do whatever you want. Oh, and that's part of it. You can do whatever you want. Yeah. Like no laws. Well, you can kill and stuff. No, no, no, no, no. You don't get to break the law. But like you don't have to go to work. You don't have to work as a parent. You don't have to cook anything or clean anything or laundry or. Sounds like Eddie's every day. No, that's not true. Sorry. There's no consequence. You don't have to hand out consequences. Got it. That'd be awesome. Exhausting. I'm kidding. Eddie. What do you have? Yeah, mine was kind of the same thing. But you know what? It would be cool. A random Wednesday day. So, like one random Wednesday, they tell you everyone has this day off and you didn't plan for it. You're just like, hey, it's like finding $10 in your pocket. That's what I'm talking about. But why Wednesday? Did you say random Wednesday day? Yeah, random Wednesday day. Random Wednesday day. I kind of like it because you never know it's coming. And you wake up and at 12:01 you have the day off. All of a sudden it comes across like an Amber alert. Random Wednesday date. Random Wednesday date. You don't have to go to work. That's good. That'd be amazing. Lunchbox national no Tipping day. One day out of the year, you go everywhere, anywhere, and they cannot ask you for a tip. There can't be a tip line. There can't be a sign that says, hey, we accept tips. They can't put a bucket, a cardboard box, a milk jug, nothing. No tips allowed on national no tipping day. So just. Wow, man. This as a whole, great. Three of us wanted something for other people, one of us wanted to take something away from somebody. No, I wanted to give this to all you guys. No, no, but go somewhere and not have to feel like you have to tip everyone. I hear you, but I'm saying your. Your day is you not giving the servers. It's not just servers. Walk in a hotel. Hey, welcome to my hotel. Can you give me a tip? Hey, would you like, help me? Where are you staying, bro? I mean, every hotel. You stayed at the Airbnb where they asked for the note. Oh, me. Was it you? Yeah, we're telling you that. So I stayed at an Airbnb and they left a note that said you could venmo to t tip the house cleaner for the Airbnb. See? Absolutely. Which I'm. Okay. No, it's not. Hold on. But Morgan, why was that weird? It was weird because I already paid a 65 cleaning fee to stay at the Airbnb. There's already a built in fee when you book the Airbnb, but the fees for the owner of the house to clean and the tip is for the clean. But no, no, no, no. Hold on. And I love tipping. Lived my life built on other people's tips forever. I will say though, why that's weird is that $65 is for the owner to pay for somebody to clean. They're already getting that money. There you go. No, not there you go. You just and the owner should tip. Like to tip into the. But if you want to tip, great. But I'm saying that is weird. But I'm not going to get the benefit of a clean house, so why would I tip? Like, no. See, this is why we need national no Tipping day. Yeah. Screw everybody. So stupid. Yeah. All right. That's how we start the show today. Thank you guys for being here. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I have been married for two years. Everything's great, except for one thing. She compares me to her ex. It's not always obvious, but she'll make remarks like, ah, my ex used to handle this. Or my ex would come up with romantic surprises. Oh, all right. I've brought it up before, but she says she chose me and she's just making observations. And I shouldn't take it personally. Still, it's chipping away at my self esteem. How can I address this with her without starting an argument or seeming like I'm insecure? Signed, her ex would never write this. I would start to. Anybody would start to feel insecure if your partner was constantly bringing up somebody they were with before you. So if you're starting to feel insecure, that's totally natural, because what's happening with her doing that to you is not natural. In a healthy relationship, if a reference is made occasionally by accident, okay, I understand, but the constant comparison, the multiple time comparison, that's not good. Even if she's like, but I chose you. That's not good. That's not healthy. That's not. That's not a good partner. The fact that you're even still in the mix here without having said something to her, gone to therapy, you've been married for two years. My guess is the ex dumped her. The ex dumped her and she's still. Oh, I. I know, but otherwise, why would you hold him on such a platform? Because she's platforming him right now. Right. She's platforming the exact. And if she's bringing up. And when you're married, what is. What is two years? What is her intent? I just wonder what is our motivation here? Uncalled for, not needed, not wanted. You don't deserve it. This is something that you bring up to her in therapy. However you do it, it needs to be brought up. You don't feel comfortable with it. And if she still continues to do it, then I think there needs to be a different course of action one way or the other. Yeah, I feel like the only time it's okay to maybe mention an ex, I'm Trying to think of, like, things that pop into my mind. No, it'd be like, oh, it just such a relief to, you know, not be stressed about time because my ex used to always freak out. I wouldn't even say that. I do know. I would do no extra. I know, but I. I agree, but I'm trying to think of something where you could, like, say the experts. Not a dig at you. Instead of, like, my eggs used to be so romantic and you suck. I just wouldn't bring up the ex at all. Even that. Even if, like, my and my ex had such a. And. And his was so little. Even then I wouldn't do that. And that's. That's like the best thing you can say to a dude about your ex. Don't say that. But that's. That's what you would want to hear. But even that, you can't do it. Don't. You can't bring up the ex at all unless he asks her about it. You don't bring it up at all in comparison. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In no way whatsoever. Even if it's benefit, because it just shows you're thinking about him. So not good. You're not insecure. Any insecurity that you do have is brought on by her, and she's chipping away at it. That is unfair to you. It has got to change. Not cool. Not cool even. Like I said, the best case scenario is her saying what I said. And that's not good. And that's not even good. Happy Independence Day. It's the Bobby Bones show, celebrating the red, white, and blue. Happy Fourth of July. It's Tim McGraw. And what I look forward to most about this time of year is the memories of what Fourth of July stands for. Gathering with your family, just hanging out, barbecuing, having a great time, and remembering just how great of a country that we have. Happy Fourth of July, Bones. So these are safety tips that we probably haven't thought of. Yeah. This woman popped up on my Instagram, and she's a safety expert. She studied criminal justice and all kinds of things so she knows what criminals are doing or what they're after and how women are vulnerable. And I just never thought about how I carry myself in a parking lot or when I'm walking from store to store or walking from building to building. So is it about making yourself less attractive to somebody who's going to want to attack somebody? Yes, you're. You're minimizing your vulnerability. Okay, so what do you have here? And so these are clips this is actually stuff that she shared. Okay. There's three things I want you to always keep in mind. Your stride, your posture, and your awareness. Always walk with confidence and a purpose. Remember that a distracted person is a very easy target, so make sure you're never walking around with your head buried in your phone. Practice situational awareness. Always. Last but not least, strong eye contact and acknowledgement. I see you and I'm aware that you're there. Remember that if you ever find yourself in a scary situation, noise is your friend. And carry an AK47. No one will mess with you. Yeah, well, she said she always has pepper spray on her and an alarm on her key. Forget to go. Yeah. Yeah. Something that I personally do is always carry pepper spray or pepper gel and a personal keychain alarm with me at all times. Gives me added peace of mind should I ever need it. It's not living in fear. It's living aware. Yeah, those alarms are pretty scary. You hit it and just goes, I. I would stop trying to kill you if you did that just out of annoyance. And everyone's going to turn around to that sound and see what's happening. The problem is, when they attack people, there's usually not everyone around. It's. You're kind of alone. Is. Yeah. And that's why I thought the eye contact thing was interesting, too. And I don't think it definitely means it's going to work, but you probably could intimidate someone more so if you're just facing it on instead of, like, if you make eye contact, avoiding it. I think you're trying to come on to me. No, no, no, no, no. Not in that way. Saying in a confident way, like, I see you. You're not coming up on me. I know you're here. And then you've got your alarm ready, and then, boom, you get them. It's a different look, Bones. Maybe you just walk. Is it? I never had either one, so, I don't know, maybe just walking with your alarm on the whole time when you're outside. Oh, always. Yeah. It's like people at festivals have the flag, they carry the flag, so you can always find them. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. You. John's here. I think Amy's good in the parking lots, though. She's always in a hurry. Like, Amy's always, like. And she drives, like, running into stuff. No, I do not. No. So here you go. This is Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about aliens. Do you guys know Neil DeGrasse Tyson? I've heard the name. The most Famous scientist in the whole world. I follow him. Oh, that's not. I thought he was an actor acting as a scientist. No, I was thinking. Are you thinking of Mike Tyson? No, I'm thinking about no Tyson Beckford. Okay, well, no, this is Neil DeGrasse Tyson. And so this is a podcast by Zack justice talking about aliens. You know me, I love it. He was asked about what are the chances that aliens have already found out about Earth and who we are and why he thinks aliens haven't been on Earth. Aliens may be vastly more intelligent than we are because they figured out how to get here and we haven't left low Earth orbit in 50 years. So the question is, why would we think they would be interested in us at all? I remain unconvinced that we've been visited by aliens. We have high resolution images of the surface of Mars. We have images from the edge of the universe. We have this high resolution imagery of all these places in the universe. And the best you have is a fuzzy monochromatic Tic Tac. And you want to say, those are visiting aliens. That's the best you have. We have more work to do here, so we have some points. The only thing that I would say is how do we know we'd be able to see them with our cameras and our technology? Yeah, it's like Bigfoot or Loch Ness Monster or the spaceship. It's like, okay, but if they're really advanced, why would they be made of organic materials like we have? And why would they be things that our cameras, the irises in these, would be able to see? So I can't be that smart to be invisible. Would you, would you go, how can we define how smart something is? I mean, we don't even know if exists. We don't even know if it exists. And we're going, it can't be that smart. Ah, don't. You're giving them too much credit. Here are these two guys talking about it again and Neil Degrasse Tyson. And they ask, do you think the technologies are being kept from us because as a human race, we're not ready for it yet. People think especially the government has all these secret things and their secret capabilities. Have you ever worked for the government? I try not to. The level of incompetence. I think he's like a PR person for the government now. Oh, really? Really? I've heard that before. Anyway, he goes out and says stuff, but that's a. Have you ever worked for the government? But I've got buddies that work for the Government. They're not. Yeah, but very bright. But a lot of bright people do work. Yeah, we just don't know them because we don't have to go get our tags, new tags from them and stand in line for four hours. Not that kind of job. Yeah, but I'm. I'm just saying he's so jokey about that. It makes me feel like he's lying. Wow. Okay. He makes it. You work for the government and he's a brilliant gu. Love listening to him. But that part, I feel like he's hiding something. And yeah, they have technology. We don't know. Let's take aliens out. Of course they have technologies. We don't know. The moon landing thing is weird. What about. Because all the plans that we had that got us to the moon, they. They don't exist anymore. They destroyed them. They're like, we don't have the how to get there anymore. That's weird. Yeah, that is weird. Like, we can't. We don't save stuff. Like, we save stuff and we save everything. I think we landed on the moon. Just let me say that. I just think there's a bunch of weird stuff. And the footage that America saw and the footage that we have of it was of a camera shooting a screen. It wasn't. Oh, because we didn't know how to record that stuff then. It was still a broadcast. Yeah. So it was broadcast onto a screen, but then they shot. They shot the screen instead of feeding the feed through. Yeah. That was a weird thing too. I know. I still think it happened. But it was a real. It's a race with the Russians. Yeah. Here is why he thinks the moon landing was not faked. Not only all the imagery. In the 1960s, you'd have to fake the millions of pages of engineering diagrams for the Saturn V rocket, the warehouses in which they were stored. But here's the best that I heard about this. The government goes to Neil Armstrong, said, neil, we don't know how to get you to the moon, but we have to pretend we did. So what are you going to do? We're going to get some Hollywood people and we're going to stage it. In order to fake it. What we'll do is we'll shoot it on location. That's too jokey, man. See, I do believe we went. But now that he's like, jokey, jokey. I'm like, what's he hiding? Why is he hiding it? He's like, we'll shoot it on location, which means they have to get to the moon. Gotcha. Okay, I get that now. All right. Right. He's too jokey. Okay, now I start believing it's fake because of that one clip. It's too much. That one's almost too much cover up. I feel like. Yeah. To be totally fake. But that's. What's up. Little science for you this morning. Do you follow him on Instagram? I think I'm fed a lot of his videos. Do my for you algorithm because I. If he comes up, I watch a lot of them. Yeah, I don't know. You know what is weird, though? If we did land on the moon, like, why aren't we out there more? Well, now they're saying we're going to build houses there. Yeah, like, we've had time already to do that. I don't know, man. There's other things. Oh, and even real. Is the moon even real? I don't know. A minute ago when we played the clip, the safety tips when walking. I should give her a handle in case people want to find her. She's on a CB. Hey, what's the 20 out there, girl? Give them a safety tips. No, it's Dana. Underscore Eve. And yeah, I've. I. I don't even follow her, but her stuff. Wouldn't that be like her username or her. Oh, do you. I thought you said handle. I need handles. Right. Make it make a one, too. It's a. What's your handle? Yeah, I'm doing a nickel. Nickel down the highway. Happy birthday, America. The Bobby Bones Show. It's time for the good news with lunchbox. Tell me something good. 35 years ago, Alina and Sean were in high school together. And Sean's like, hey, will you go to prom with me? They had a great time, but they graduate. They go their separate ways. Well, now Alina's a teacher in Colorado, and she sees on Facebook that Sean needs a kidney, and she's like, my prom date needs a kidney. Let me go get tested. She's not a match, but she's like, I will donate a kidney. That way it starts. One of those donate kidney chains. She donates a kidney, that puts him to the top of the list, and he gets a kidney. That's crazy. That's what prom baits are all about. You're fired up about that one. Why? Oh, man, I just remember prom. It was a great time of my life because I went and, you know, no expectations. And they said, and the prom king is. And boom, they named me prom king. And I was like, that's what I'M talking about. Do you think your date would donate a kidney to you? Oh, probably. Who is your date? Ally. Was she queen? The one person who doesn't say her last name or give a story base. Ally Ligon. She's out. I think she's in Dallas now. Yeah. You know, we've gone our separate ways. Life has taken us different directions. Was she prom queen? No. So did she feel like. Well, no, no. She was a junior, I was a senior. So Kathleen. Kathleen Wheat was the prom queen. So. Yeah, shout out Kathleen. She's probably listening right now. She got two boys now. Husband. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. No, she got Facebook. Yeah, we still talk every morning. He's on Facebook all day. Okay. That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history. And I find the answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it. Listen to American History Hotline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So what happened at Chappaquiddick? Well, it really depends on who you talk to. There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think, in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy Escapes, Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will Ted become president? Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal. The Kennedys have lived through disgrace, affairs, violence, you name it. So is there a curse? Every week we go behind the headlines and beyond the drama of America's royal family.

Now, Dan and Shay, you guys have been doing it for a long time, even though you're still very young. How do you not do the same thing again when you've had success doing it already? Because I feel like the easy thing would be, let's just do what we did last time. It was awesome, because again, you could keep doing the exact same thing over and over and over and have massive success until you don't. But you guys haven't done that. Like, how do you avoid that? I think a lot of times a solo act, it's harder for you to veer off and maybe try something new. Not to say that that's true for all solo acts, but I feel like for Dan and I, it's. It's a lot easier for us to really collaborate. You know, in those moments where we're writing the album and things, we're able to push each other to try, you know, kind of different. Not definitely, you know, we want to do the same kind of music. We always want to be Dan and Shea. You can't go off and just, you know, abandon what got you there in the first place. But I think that, you know, just, like, going with bigger houses as a single, you know, one of us can be like, hey, why not? Let's just do this. Let's do what we want to do and make sure that we're making the art that we want to make. And, I don't know, it just. It's kind of been that way throughout our career of just pushing each other, of, hey, let's just do what we want to do, you know, what we know our fans are going to love. And obviously, throughout the years, I think that you learn things, you know, you try things that you, you know, you push the boundaries a little bit. Sometimes it's like, all right, let's reel it back. You know, we don't go that way. Let's go in this direction. Let's go in this direction. And I think that, you know, once you have your identity, we know who we are and we know who Dan and Shay, the brand that we've built. And I think it's important to push the boundaries while also still you know, not abandoning what got you there in the first place, which is, you know, that first album for us, there was a lot of our super fans that were still, you know, some of their favorite songs are on that very first album. And, you know, appropriately, you know, where it all began for us. And I don't know, I think it's important to push Those boundaries, but also not abandon, you know, what got you there to begin with. And that can be a. A tightrope that is hard to. To walk, but it's a lot easier when there's two of us to be like, hey, let's. Let's push this, or let's kind of roll this back. And I don't know, that's. That's part of the fun, is kind of pushing the boundaries a little bit. You know, I think it's. We're able to do that and have the confidence to do that, since there's. There's two of us kind of being our own cheerleaders. Let's play this game. What's something that maybe you were like, I don't know, but the other one. And I'd like an answer from both of you. The other one's like, I believe in it. And you're like, all right, fine. I don't know that I do, but let's go. And end up being a success. So what. What did you go? I don't. Because you told the story of bigger houses where Shay was like, why can't it be. I'm not gonna let that be an answer, but one, you're an advocate, and the other one's not, and the one who was not was wrong because it was successful. I wouldn't say I wasn't an advocate, but I. After Tequila, right? Biggest song of our career, trying to figure out what we go with next. And we had a song on that record called Keeping score that was streaming like crazy. Kelly Clarkson was on it. You know, one of the most famous, most incredible vocalists of all time, like, the biggest get we could get as a feature. Getting to hear her sing a duet with Shay was unbelievable. That was kind of my vote for the next single. I was like, it could, you know, go number one at country crossover to hot ac. Do the thing, like, because Tequila was crossing over at that time, and Shay was like, I. You know, Speechless, I think, is the one. Like, I think it's amazing. I love singing it. That was always his thing. If he loves singing it, that's always a good sign. He loves singing Tequila loves singing bigger houses, and he loves singing Speechless, and I love the song. I thought, you know, could be a hit, but I was like, ah, you know, we. We got this Kelly Clarkson thing on here. How are we gonna leave this on the table? There was this show. It was in Rapid City, Iowa, or. No, I think it was Rapid City, Iowa. It was during our album release week. It was a crazy Show. Brett Eldridge was on the show. I was wearing a crazy pink and green floral shirt. I remember it like it was yesterday. We went on stage. The song had been out for, like, three days, and we played Speechless, and somebody was on the side of the stage showing with their phone, and the crowd sang it like crazy. When that chorus hit, I looked over at Shay. I was like, that's a single. That's it. But he was super passionate about that song, and he was right. Good. That's a good story. Yeah. Like, that's the kind of stuff we have them here for. That's a good one. All right, Shay. No, that's a good story. Shay, you do one. Okay. Well, there's a song called Tequila. Oh, man, I don't know. I mean, there's like, how was Dan so right? And maybe you weren't wrong, because, again, keep it War is an awesome song. I loved it too, and that would have been a hit. But I think you made the right decision, because Speechless is what you guys will be known for. All timer. I think it's in our top three in our catalog. It's a special song. It's that it's. It's not time stamped by a moment in time. That song could have came out in the 70s. That song could come out today, and I feel like it would still sound fresh. Yeah. So you. You tell. When. When were you not right? Oh, man. I've never been wrong, Bobby. It's crazy. All right, back after this. Thank you guys for coming. No, I mean, you know, there's been some situations like, Speechless was like, you know, I usually. I try to sit back and, you know, take the collective of the groove. We have such a, you know, great team, and Dan and I are usually on the same page about everything. I mean, even, you know, Speechless, he was not against the song ever. But there's been moments where I've been like, this has got to be the single. We've got to do this. I felt that way about Tequila, as did Dan, but I felt that way about Tequila as well. And I remember there was a lot of people not to throw, like, our label and everybody under the bus, but it was like that with Tequila. You know, we had pushed a song called Road Trippin. That was. That was definitely. It was definitely a hit. So don't look at showing that tattoo. But it was like that Dan and I were very much. I was like. Because Dan had written the song, and from the very first time I heard that demo, I was like, we're going in there and we're recording the song. Which one? It's Tequila. Got it. And I remember being in London and our, you know, a lot of people, you know, around. Around the label were like, that. We can't. You know, we just, you know, had this song. It wasn't necessarily a failure. Like, our fans loved road tripping, but it was like it was gonna take a long time to. To push the song to number one. And we were kind of getting into. It was wintertime, you know, we had the Christmas break coming up, and I was just like, we. We've got to push this song. Like, this song is this. Is it. Like, I felt as strongly about the Tequila as I did Speechless. Those songs were like, you're talking about how right you are again, you've turned this into how shit is right, you know. That's what the segment's called, is it not? No, you're supposed to be wrong part. I'm trying to think of something. Well, that does make me curious why they didn't. Why were they wrong? Like, why. Why were they not on board? Well, that's eas. But I wondered if they gave you that reason of like, yeah, because it's winter and like Tequila or. I. I have no idea. No. Maybe it's too much inside baseball, but, yeah, that factors into it. The seasonal thing. Is it winter? Is it. You know, and at radio, you always want to have tempo. Like, tempo, I feel like always gives you the best shot. But if you look at it historically, sometimes the ballads are the biggest risk, but they have the biggest re for in our career. From the ground up. Speechless, Tequila. Those are all, you know, what people would say ballads. I don't know. We could come out with 120bpm song. There's going to be somebody out there. They still said it's a ballad. Ah, we can't get to it this week. How? You know, we've got too many ballads. I'm like, this song is punk rock song. We have. Come on, man. Well, everybody. Shay. Perfect. Listen, you should ask Dan, because you think I can't. I'm trying to think of. I usually listen to Dan. Here's the reason I haven't been, you know, wrong with singles, because I. I trust him implicitly. And, you know, most of the singles, it's. We're like right there. And so I really should say, Dan and I have never been wrong. You know what I mean? Except road tripping. We got this that way. All right. Dan and Shay are here. Bones. When we do our podcast, we can't Put any music in the podcast. Because now if you put something on demand in a podcast, it's illegal. It makes total sense. But we can't put even a clip of a song in a podcast now. Unless it is a public domain song. So public domain would be songs that are, like, 100 years old. And without further ado, this is Happy Birthday. That's exactly it. Right. So I have a few. Because we have a really large podcast audience. Like, millions and millions. I listen to every episode. Thank. You're lying, but thank you very much. I swear I do. I watch you in your window. So here's the thing. Cooking sourdough. I will give you Shay. If I give you a public domain song for our podcast listeners, radio's gonna hear this too. Would you mind? I don't know if you're loose or not. Thank you very much. I'll give a little something. Would you. How about a little Hush little baby? Public domain can be sang for free. Oh, nice. Yes. Would you mind giving us 15, 20 seconds? Hush little baby. Oh, he's standing. Bobby. Oh, here. I've been waiting my whole life for this. I actually. I was practicing this this morning. Okay. He's gonna perform it to me as well, which is, you know, I'm trying to make sure I know the words. This. I might screw this up. I don't know. All right. Hush little baby, don't say a word. Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird don't sing, that's all right. Cause Dana Shay is here to do it for you, baby. There you go. We like that. Thank you. Hold on, guys. Bingo. B I N G O. As done by Shea. Public domain. Yeah. Okay. B I N G O. B I N G O. Happy was his name. Oh. All right. That's your next single. Sorry. It is actually, you know, our last freebie. A song we can do for free. Mary Had a Little Lamb, as done by Dan and Shea. Right. Okay. I feel like this is kind of the rendition of, like, our Silent Night. You know what I mean? Honestly, though, Mary Had a Little Lamb, like, it's not too far off from Dan and Shay's sound. You know, Throwing it back is like the savage garden of country to the OT. I haven't said that in 15 years. Give me a break. Give me a break. Pretty good. I love Savage Garden. Give me a break. Okay. All right, let's see here. Mary, you started too high. All right, here we go. Mary had. Dang. This is harder than I thought it was gonna be. Mary Had a little lamb. What's the rest of the words? Little lamb, little lamb. Mary had a little lamb. Oh, that's. I was doing the wrong. I was doing the wrong melody. What were you doing? I don't know. Mary had a little lamb. Little lamb. Oh, no, no, not everybody. Mary had a little lamb Whose coat was white as snow Everybody now. Mary had a little lamb but me. Horrible. Little lamb. Mary had a little lamb who Something white as snow. Dan and Shane. Come on. That's for the podcast listeners. Thank you guys so much. I wonder what you were doing. At first, I don't know, but I. It was. It sounded familiar, didn't it? Yeah, like I was like, is he doing Ro row your boat? I didn't know what it was. But you. It was something. You were in a pocket. I'll tell you this. It was another public domain spot that hasn't been written yet back in 200 years. Thinking, you know, Dan and I have been having a discussion about this for our next album is going to be all public domain songs, actually for free. There's not enough of them. I mean, Christmas. And you guys are smart because you do originals, but also you can record the classics for free. It's unbelievable. Yeah, yeah, it's great. And make the money. Weren't you doing Twinkle, twinkle, little star? That's what it was, Amy. Twinkle, twinkle. Now we're thinking. Barry Had a little lamb had an interpolation. He did? Yeah. Neon star written by Ernest. Oh, it's sick. How does twinkle to go, though? Twinkle, twinkle. Let me sing it for you, Bobby. Twinkle, twinkle little star. Got it. How I wonder what you are up above the neon signs. Wait, wait, wait. Is this is it is Twinkle, twinkle a little star public domain? It is. Sure is. Bing, bang, boom. They kick the door in right now and arrest Dan and shit. You must. Happy fourth of July. Here on the Bobby Bones show, it's time for the good news with Bobby. A puppy saved from a house fire in Oregon has been adopted by a firefighter who plans to not only save the dog, but also teach kids the importance of fire safety. This is like the ultimate. You got a firefighter, you got a puppy, you got kids. Yeah. The puppy, now named Flame Smokey Close the shelter, took in the puppy up and said that the dog was struggling especially to be adopted because a large part of the dog's neck had been burnt. So people were like, we don't want to adopt the dog until it's healthy. The firefighter was like, I'll adopt the dog and you can see too. Like the neck, top of the head. There's some burn on it. It's like a black, like half bulldog, half, who knows? But he takes the dog now. And first of all, lots of intensive care, lots of, lots of cold baths, medicated, all the. I just call it Sab. They call it salve. Yeah, yeah, Salve. Wound management. He did it all. The puppy is now going with him to these classes to teach fire safety. Smokey. Smokey. It's always weird if you change a dog's name, though. Do they care? I know I never asked one and it has to be weird because we called something for so long adjustment. Like, is he talking to me? But it's just a sound. Like, my name is Rex. But that sound of Rex. Now smoke on. Yeah, smoking. Okay. That's a great story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Steve. Red Habit trying to put you through Mike D's riding this week's next bit. Nobody bobbies on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby story is if you can make a woman laugh, she'll be more likely to overlook your shortcomings, which I like. That works for me. Lucky for you, I'm about to give you a joke. Oh, no, but he's got to make you. I have to make. Yeah, yeah, but you can use it. Oh, it's not the same kind of my. Everybody can use it. Like, I give the jokes and then everybody. The novelty of this is. It's so corny. Like, if I went home and I was trying to impress my wife, I wouldn't. Although my humor just doesn't work the same. My wife can predict everything I'm going to say. Like, she knows all my jokes. However, I, she still makes me laugh out loud. But I, I, I rarely. And when I do, I point at her and be like, ah. Like, I caught her doing something. Like, if I can make her laugh now. Ah, I do that. And she's like, why are you doing that? Because I made you laugh. She's like, yeah, but it's like, it's so, it's so rare now. Dude, you got me and my boys real good. Yesterday when you FaceTimed us and we answered and we thought you were frozen. Oh, I just sat as still as possible as soon as he answered. Oh, my wife hates that bit. We were like, oh, no, he's frozen. She hates that. Oh, I love doing bits, Amy. We were like, it's frozen. I wouldn't crack. Hey, here, move this. Maybe Click on that. And then he goes, ah, I got you. I wasn't frozen. That's a fun bit. That's a good bit. So, yeah, I guess when you do it to your wife, she doesn't laugh. No, she's like, I know you're. You're faking it. She was like, I can see you breathing. She just hang up. In a study, women were asked to choose between two pictures of equally attractive men, and there were biographies about the men. The women chose men with a good sense of humor over more serious men. Even though they found the funny guys at times not as good looking because they were. They were close, they'd still pick the funnier one. Women liked guys that were more fun if it were close than guys that were good looking. No. Study on money. Sorry. More fun or more. Or funny? More fun, generally. Because funny's fun. Like they want to date you and, like, marry and stuff. Maybe I just need a new act for my wife. Like me to do. Like physical comedy. Like slip on a banana pill. Oh, that's good. Like Three Stooges. She just. She's. She's a tough cookie to crack. Sometimes she'll say stuff to me that's so funny. I'll just send Eddie a quick voice memo and tell him what she just said. And it's really funny. I'm like, okay, this is funny. You need to know. Because I'm like, let me post this. She goes, no, I don't tell jokes for. She didn't tell jokes. She says things. She. I don't do stuff for public. She's like, I just do it for us. Like, you get a laugh. Haha. And I'm like, I gotta tell Eddie this joke. That's from Evolution and Human Behavior, a research publication. Guys, if you're funny, it's worth about a half point, I would say. Okay, maybe one whole point. Yeah, maybe one whole point. All right. Speaking of funny, here's Amy in the morning corny. The morning corny. What kind of sandals do frogs wear? What? You got open toed. Open toed. That was the morning corny. That one wouldn't work at home. You don't like that one? No, I mean, she'd like it, but she'd be like, yeah, okay. It's all in the delivery. Like if you have sandals on and then you stick it and go open toed, and then you show your toe, and then you may be hot. Oh, demonstrate. Happy Independence Day. It's the Bobby bones show.

There are many versions of what happened in 1969 when a young Ted Kennedy drove a car into a pond and left a woman behind to drown. There's a famous headline, I think in the New York Daily News. It's Teddy Escapes, Blonde Drowns. And in a strange way, right, that sort of tells you the story really became about Ted's political future, Ted's political hopes. Will TED Become President? Kappaquiddick is a story of a tragic death and how the Kennedy machine took control. And he's not the only Kennedy to survive a scandal.

Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

Y lunchbox. You need one here to stay alive. Although if you get any, you take the lead. Yeah, I understand that. I just have nothing. Nothing. I have no idea about America. Best thing about America. I love America. I love being able to vote, but we already got democracy. I love being able to choose what I do. That's freedom. And it wasn't chasing the American dream. He's right now stalling. Yeah, it's called filibuster, Amy, because you gotta think of something. We'll go with healthcare. I know it's not it. Good job. That's the one. I knew it wasn't, but I have no. I literally have no idea. And you want to take a shot? Yeah. Best national anthem in the world. Best national anthem. Although I agree that's incorrect. No, no. Okay. Is it open now? Justin, Just for fun. Oh, Amazon. Amazon. Our railroad system. Right. Like I. I know I did Apple. Yeah, that's meta. The rock. Yes, the rock. At number five, the fourth of July. Oh, okay.

Yeah, yeah, trucks. Big old trucks. Our winner. Come on. Who I guess loves America more than anybody else? Yes. Eddie. God bless America, baby. So these are safety tips that we probably haven't thought of. Yeah. This woman popped up on my Instagram and she's a safety expert. She studied criminal justice and all kinds of things so she knows what. What criminals are doing or what they're after and how women are vulnerable. And I just never thought about how I carry myself in a parking lot or when I'm walking from store to store or walking from building to building. So is it about making yourself less attractive to somebody who's going to want to attack somebody? Yes. You're. You're. You're minimizing your vulnerability. Okay, so what do you have here? And so these are clips. This is actually stuff that she shared. Okay. There's three things I want you to always keep in mind. Your stride, your posture, and your awareness. Awareness. Always walk with confidence and a purpose. Remember that a distracted person is a very easy target, so make sure you're never walking around with your head buried in your phone. Practice situational awareness. Always. Last but not least, strong eye contact and acknowledgement. I see you and I'm aware that you're there. Remember that if you ever find yourself in a scary situation, noise is your friend. And carry an AK47. No one will mess with you. Yeah, well, she said she always has pepper spray on her and an alarm on her key. Something that I personally do is always carry pepper spray or pepper gel. And a personal keychain alarm with me at all times. Gives me added peace of mind should I ever need it. It's not living in fear, it's living aware. Yeah, those alarms are pretty scary. You hit it and just goes, I would stop trying to kill you if you did that just out of annoyance. And everyone's going to turn around to that sound and see what's happening. The problem is, when they attack people, there's usually not everyone around. Yeah, it's. You're kind of alone. Ish. Yeah. And that's why I thought the eye contact thing was interesting, too. And I don't think it definitely means it's going to work, but you probably could intimidate someone more so if you're just facing it head on instead of, like, if you make eye contact, avoiding it. I think you're trying to come on to me. No, no, no, no, no. Not in that way. Saying in a confident way, like, I see you. You're not coming up on me. I know you're here. And then you've got your alarm ready, and then, boom, you get them. It's a different look, Bones. Maybe you just walk. Is it. I never had either one, so I don't know, maybe just walking with your alarm on ride. Oh, always. Yeah. It's like people at festivals have the flag. They carry the flag. So you can always find them. Yeah, I love that. Yeah. You. John's here. I think Amy's good in the parking lot, so she's always in a hurry. Like, Amy's always, like. And she drives, like, running into stuff. No, I do not. No. So here you go. This is Neil DeGrasse Tyson talking about aliens. Do you guys know Neil DeGrasse Tyson? I've heard the name. Most famous scientist in the whole world. I follow him. Oh, that's not. I thought he was an actor. Actor acting as a scientist. No, I was thinking. Are you thinking of Mike Tyson? No, I'm thinking about. No, Tyson Beckford. Okay. Well, no, this is Neil DeGrasse Tyson. And so this is a podcast by Zach justice talking about aliens. You know me, I love it. He was asked about what are the chances that aliens have already found out about Earth and who we are and why he thinks aliens haven't been on Earth. Aliens may be vastly more intelligent than we are because they figured out how to get here, and we haven't left low Earth orbit in 50 years. So the question is, why would we think they would be interested in us at all? I remain unconvinced that we've been visited by aliens. We have high resolution images of the surface of Mars. We have images from the edge of the universe. We have this high resolution imagery of all these places in the universe. And the best you have is a fuzzy, monochromatic Tic Tac, and you want to say, those are visiting aliens. That's the best you have. We have more work to do here, so we have Some points. The only thing that I would say is, is how do we know we'd be able to see them with our cameras and our technology? Yeah, it's like Bigfoot or Loch Ness monster or the spaceship. It's like, okay, but if they're really advanced, why would they be made of organic materials like we have? And why would they be things that our cameras and the irises in these camp would be able to see? So I can't be that smart to be invisible. Would you go? Would you go? How can we define how smart something is? I mean, we don't even know if it exists. We don't even know if it exists. And we're going, it can't be that smart. Ah, don't you give it me to too much credit. Here are these two guys talking about it again and Neil Degrasse Tyson and they ask, do you think the technologies are being kept from us because as a human race we're not ready for it yet. People think especially the government has all these secret things and their secret capabilities. Have you ever worked for the government? I try. Not the level of incompetence. I think he's like a PR person for the government now. Oh really? I've heard that before. Anyway. And he goes out and says stuff. But that's a. If you work for the government. But I've got buddies that work for the government. They're not. Yeah, but very bright. But a lot of bright people do work. Yeah. We just don't know them. Because we don't have to go get our tags, new tags from them and stand in line for four hours. Not that kind of job. Yeah, but I'm. I'm just saying he's so jokey about that. It makes me feel like he's lying. Wow. Okay. He makes it, you'll work for the government. And he's a brilliant guy. I love listening to him. Him. But that part, I feel like he's hiding something. And yeah, they have technology. We don't know. Let's take aliens out. Of course they have technologies we don't know. The moon landing thing is weird. What. What about. Because all the plans that we had that got us to the moon, they don't exist anymore. They destroyed them. They're like, we don't have data to get there anymore. That's weird. Yeah, that is weird. Like we can't. We don't save stuff. Like we save stuff and we save everything. I think we land on the moon. Just let me say that. I just think there's a Bunch of weird stuff. Stuff. And the footage that America saw and the footage that we have of it was of a camera shooting a screen. It wasn't. Oh, because we didn't know how to record that stuff then. It was still a broadcast. Yeah. Oh, so it was broadcast onto a screen, but then they shot. They shot the screen instead of feeding the feed through. Yeah. That was a weird thing too. I know. I still think it happened. But it was a real. It's a race with the Russians. Yeah. Here is why he thinks the moon landing was not fake. Not only all the imagery. In the 1960s, you'd have to fake the millions of pages of engineering diagrams for the Saturn V rocket, the warehouses in which they were stored. But here's the best that I heard about this. The government goes to Neil Armstrong and said, neil, we don't know how to get you to the moon, but we have to pretend we did. So what are you gonna do? We're get some Hollywood people and we're gonna stage it in order to fake it. What we'll do is we'll shoot it on location. That's too jokey, man. See, I do believe we went. But now that he's like, jokey, jokey. I'm like, what's he hiding? Why is he hiding it? He's like, well, we'll shoot it on location, which means they have to get to the moon. Okay, I get that now. All right. He's too jokey. Okay. Now I start believing it's fake because of that one clip. It's too much. That one's almost too much cover up. I feel like. Yeah. To be totally fake, but that's. What's up. Little science for you this morning. Do you follow him on Instagram? I think I'm fed a lot of his videos. Do my for you algorithm because I. If he comes up, I watch a lot of them. Yeah. I don't know. You know what is weird though? If we did land on the moon, like, why aren't we out there more? Well, now they're saying we're going to build houses there. Yeah. Like we've had time already to do that. I don't know, man. There's other things. Oh, and even real. Is the moon even real? I don't know. A minute ago when we played the clip, the safety tips when walking. I should give her a handle in case people want to find her. She on a CB. Breaker, breaker. Give her a handle. Hey, watch a 20 out there, girl. Give him a safety situation. This. No, it's Dana Underscore Eve. And yeah, I've. I. I don't even follow her. But her stuff. Wouldn't that be like her username or her.
