Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Him. You. It wouldn't be awkward for everybody around, but I would never do something like that. Lunchbox. You saw Kane, too, right? We talked about this.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I saw Kane, and it was a Disney Ice thing or whatever at the Opryland. And he was there with his family, and his wife was at the ticket window. And I just was like, man, that's Kane Brown. I hadn't seen him since the holidays, so I went up and, man, you're.

If you can pull it off. Because there's some guys that do it. And you can't really pull that off. Cause that's a commitment. And he keeps the hood up. Do you think some people don't bother him? Sometimes he have it up. Sometimes he'll just be normal. Does he keep the hood up, do you think, for A, so people don't bother him or for B, to keep heat in. Because that's a thing. Right.

[Eddie]

They'Re just like us.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw Ringo star at my house doing an interview.

[Eddie]

You did, though. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I know. That is another edition of Celebrities Just like us. Kinda. Amy, brace yourself. This is a voicemail we got. Go ahead. Yeah. Hey, long time listener. But I listen to the podcast. Amy's talking about her boyfriend or not.

[Lunchbox]

Talking about her boyfriend.

[Bobby Bones]

And I thought it was outed solely.

[Lunchbox]

With her and Morgan because when I.

[Bobby Bones]

Heard the best bits with Morgan and Amy, she answered like seven or eight questions from Morgan about her boyfriend. Other than that, it seems like she's already shared. Don't know what the big deal is. Happy for her. Have a great show.

[Amy]

Morgan asked me questions, so I answered.

[Eddie]

This is ridiculous.

[Amy]

I don't even. Yeah, I don't know. Whatever. I didn't. I don't know what. I don't even remember what the questions were.

[Eddie]

What is it about us that you want to share?

[Amy]

I'm happy to talk about whatever y'all want to.

[Bobby Bones]

So here's the whole story. Amy was like, right before the break, we went away for vacation. Christmas. She. Hey, I feel like we can talk about this now. And I'm like, cool, let's wait a second. We'll pick the time whenever it's not like other stuff that gets in the way or gets confusing about it. And so then it was a. She talked about on her podcast.

[Amy]

And I was like, oh, but I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

But you said you did because nobody even knew you had a boyfriend. And I don't care. You can talk about all you want, wherever you want. I, um. But she was like, we can do, like, the announcement. But I was like, well, that. There is no announcement. We'll just bring it up like normal at this point. And so that's where it was. We talked about it earlier where Amy talked about in her podcast, and she's like, it's okay. No one knows except for my listeners. And I'm like, all good. And then, yeah, that was it. But we were. Amy had asked, hey, can we do it and do a deal about. It's like, yes, give me time. We'll make sure that it's not happening at a time where it's confusing with any of the other content. And that was it. And so then she announced it on hers. And I'm like, well, we're not gonna do a big announcement now because you've already done it. And then apparently you guys did a special on Morgan's Best Bits. I gotta go listen to that Barbara Walter special of Amy and her boyfriend.

[Scuba Steve]

It wasn't a special. It was after you guys had talked about it here on the show. She answered the listener voicemail, and I was just like, do you guys do anything for Valentine's Day?

[Bobby Bones]

It's kinda what we talked about. We can put out 25 whistles.

[Amy]

Yeah, I wasn't doing anything. And it wasn't an announcement on my podcast. Like, I had. I've talked about my podcast ever since I started dating, even dating other people. Like, it's just stuff that wasn't coming up here. So I was. Then it flowed into, like, I'm sitting there talking to my friend that's my co host, and she's like, oh. And I'm like, oh, yeah, this guy that I'm dating. And she's like, well, you know, I'm like, yeah, my boyfriend. And then we continue on. But I didn't say anything about the relationship or any details. Like, I haven't said anything.

[Bobby Bones]

But if I were to make an analogy, when LeBron was picking his team, and he was like, when I want to announce it till we get live. And he was like, he ends up going to Miami. I'm gonna take my talents to South Beach. If, like, on Twitter earlier, he was like, yeah, I want to do an announcement. I mean, I'd have been in south beach anyway, but for my next team. But I'm gonna do an announcement. Then people be like, well, there's no need for a big announcement. You just did it.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. And I. Well. And I've tried to talk to you about how I. It just came out. It wasn't, like, a thing where I was trying to.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's edited. It's. It's recorded.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's recorded. But I didn't think it was gonna be a thing that mattered. Like, I felt like I was just being myself and saying it. I wasn't trying to make some.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter. That's the point. Like, it doesn't matter now. It just exists and is okay. But if you come and you're like, hey, I want to make a big announcement.

[Amy]

Personal lives, more on the show. And it's not like I want whatever awkwardness that it is that is here because I mentioned it on my podcast.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're missing the point. It was that you came and said, hey, I want to do an announcement. We can do it here.

[Amy]

I don't know that it has to be. I don't know that I. It has to be an announcement. I said, I'm ready to talk about it. When. When we talk about it. Like, I. I. I'm ready to talk about it. Like, I'm so. I don't know. I wish I could just go back and undo saying anything so that it wasn't like, it just felt normal and, like, a thing, because it's a really happy, exciting time, and it just doesn't feel like I get to. Like, I'm sharing it with y'all.

[Eddie]

Um, you haven't shared it with us.

[Amy]

Yeah, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you did it on your podcast with Morgan.

[Amy]

But I. I just said, yeah, I have a boyfriend. I haven't said, y'all don't know, know anything.

[Eddie]

Nothing.

[Amy]

And it seems like in the past, we would all share different things on here, and it would be, like, exciting parts of our lives, which is why.

[Bobby Bones]

You were like, hey, let's do it. And I'm like, cool, give me a second. Because I did say that. Give me a second. Let's wait until. And then you didn't give me a second.

[Amy]

Well, knowing that I said that on my podcast, now you know, like, what I said and how I said it and that I wasn't saying much then, which is why I was trying to apologize.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you said that's what she was talking about.

[Amy]

And then you said, oh, I don't. I'm good. I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I am. No, I am good. Like, I knew what it was. So did Lunchbox. Lunchbox knew immediately.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why did you know?

[Morgan]

Just the way Bobby reacted. I mean, just. I mean, I just knew. I knew exactly what it was. I don't know. Something about how being part of the show for 20 years, I know how Bobby reacts to certain things and the feelings towards it, and I'm like, ah.

[Lunchbox]

I know.

[Morgan]

It is like, I can feel the. I can feel the weirdness.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I never said, cool. Hey, Amy, do you want to do this? But she was like, hey, let's do this. I'm like, cool. Give it a minute. Wait till we're ready.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

And then.

[Amy]

And I'm saying, I, I. I messed up. And that's what I wanted to apologize about.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think you messed up. That's why you don't need to.

[Amy]

I don't know how to say. I know it doesn't feel right to be, like, messed up, but. But whatever the flow is, you're right. We did have a conversation, and I messed with that. So however we want to say it, I take responsibility for how I went about that. And I'm like, oh, that's something I want to go back and undo just so that it could open it up for here. Where we have always talked about things like the highs and the lows and bringing parts of our story. Now, there are some things in our lives that are absolutely private and personal, but there is a lot that we do end up sharing. And this is something where I'm like, oh, yeah, this is like, listeners have walked through so many seasons of our lives with us that this is something we're.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think it would feel.

[Amy]

Fun to talk about.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's not the same thing. I would say it's like, if Morgan's like, hey, we broke up. I don't really talk about it yet. I will give you the exact date that we can do it. Eddie's like, I do. We have kids now. I'm going to give you the exact time, and then we can do a thing, like, a specific thing. Lunchbox. Like, I drank a beer. I don't know what Lunchbox has, but pretty much, no. It was just that it was like, hey, we're gonna do this. And kind of the form flow is cool. You told me this. Let's plan it out, make sure everybody feels good about it, and then do it. I literally don't care but then you were like, I'm sorry. I'm like, there's no need to be sorry. Like, you can do whatever you want on your podcast. I don't. But. But there was no announcement. Because the announcement was you going, yeah, I have a boyfriend. So for what you asked of me, I couldn't provide for you because you did it. You did it.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. I'm not. I don't. And to make it clear, it feels weird. Cause I don't need some big. Like, it doesn't have to be an announcement, but it is a part of my life, and we talk about our lives on the show. So I want to go back and undo it. I can't. So that's what I'm saying. Like, I messed with what we talked about. So how do we move forward?

[Bobby Bones]

We don't.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Ever. Or we do, or we just do.

[Amy]

And we move forward. We've already moved forward.

[Bobby Bones]

We don't move forward.

[Amy]

Yeah. So I don't know. Now it feels like. I don't know. I don't know, honestly.

[Eddie]

Have you all met him? You met him? No, I met him.

[Bobby Bones]

I was waiting for the big announcement.

[Amy]

Yeah, I've seen.

[Bobby Bones]

I've seen video of them.

[Eddie]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, on some, like, spa website or something.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. Our friend Lauren, she works there, and she posted that. And I was like, Well, I hadn't said anything. She was like, oh, whoopsie. I was like, whatever. It's fine. Just leave it up. Like, we're not. That's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

What was that look for?

[Morgan]

No, I'm just wondering, like, man, so we're never gonna hear about. I don't know.

[Amy]

We all can hear. I don't know. That's where. That's where. Bobby. I'm saying I don't know what to do because there are things that we could talk about, but I don't know how you. Like. There's things I've wanted to prep, and I don't know how to prep it.

[Bobby Bones]

We're still a little hurt by it.

[Amy]

Which is why I was saying it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Not a big deal. We're just a little hurt.

[Eddie]

We're good. We're good.

[Bobby Bones]

It's no big deal.

[Amy]

Even. Okay. This too shall pass.

[Bobby Bones]

We'll grow.

[Amy]

How do we grow? Like, what do we do? Let's just solve it right here.

[Bobby Bones]

Is everybody okay?

[Eddie]

I mean, I'll be fine. I'll be fine.

[Morgan]

Time heals wounds.

[Amy]

Time heals wounds.

[Bobby Bones]

You mourn.

[Eddie]

Give it time.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

There's seven stages of grief.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, which case for the record for everybody that's here. You can talk about whatever you want, whenever you want. Don't care. But if you come and say, hey, I'd like to do this, and then I go, okay, cool.

[Amy]

Okay, so this is. So admit that this is a thing like you're saying, it's not bothering you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Stop talking for one second. What I'm saying is, if you do that, then I'm gonna wait and find that time, because I respect you guys enough to be like, okay, let's find a time to do it. And then we will find something, a time together to do whatever you came to me to do. Right? And so otherwise, just be like, hey, you wanna talk about this? Cool, let's do it. But if you come to me and you go, let's do this, I'm gonna respect you enough to hold off and make a thing about it, if that's what you're asking for. So then don't do it ahead of that. Or then I'll be like, oh, why'd you even come to me to say, let's. Let's do it? Does that make sense? Yeah, Time heals all wounds. Let's walk. At best. He made that up.

[Eddie]

Amy, when your co host brought it up, did you think for a second, like, ooh, should I say something here?

[Bobby Bones]

Or you can also edit. It's a podcast.

[Eddie]

Ah, good point, good point.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I mean, yeah. And also, it's not even, like, in the.

[Amy]

To me, it wasn't, like, a big thing. It wasn't. And then knowing now that it was, like, waiting to be something here. I don't know. I'm just very uncomfortable about it. I haven't said I was gonna get.

[Bobby Bones]

I was even gonna get a cake for Amy announcement. I haven't said that to her.

[Eddie]

Oh, we haven't done another cake.

[Bobby Bones]

I forgot I said that I was gonna do an announcement cake about it.

[Amy]

I didn't know that. And I even said to you when you played the voicemail, I was like, I thought we were gonna do a cake, because it's not like my podcast listeners versus, like, people who are listening to this show is very different.

[Bobby Bones]

And you're getting emotional, and I don't wanna do this emotional. But that's what. That's what it was in my head.

[Amy]

Because you're not. Because I want you to just say it bothers you, and that way I. But you're saying it's not that big of a deal.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember why it bothers me, because I was gonna do a cake. That's what it was. And it was gonna be an announcement. Cause she was like, let's do it. Because I think announcement cakes are funny. And we weren't able to do it.

[Amy]

I know. And I messed it up. And that's why I'm. I feel like I messed. I do feel like I messed it up. And I am a sensitive person and I do get emotional. It's not about. It's just that I want to go back and make it all normal, because this should be like a fun, normal thing. Like, just stuff just feels different sometimes. And I wanna go back to whatever it's felt like sometimes where we just all open up and share about things. And I.

[Bobby Bones]

But I don't think that's not the case. I know now why I was a bit irritated because I was getting a cake. I'd already ordered the cake and for the. Amy.

[Amy]

You'd already ordered it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Okay, well, I feel horrible about that.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I hate it literally doesn't.

[Amy]

But it does matter.

[Bobby Bones]

I just wanted cake.

[Eddie]

Wait, so where's the cake, man?

[Bobby Bones]

There is no cake. Oh, yeah, there's no cake.

[Amy]

So you ordered it, but then.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I haven't cancel it. No, I got the cake, but I just ate it. We didn't put an announcement on it.

[Eddie]

I just ate.

[Bobby Bones]

I just got it at home.

[Amy]

Well, now I feel. Yes, I feel. I feel extra.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no need to feel bad.

[Amy]

But I do. These are my feelings. And I know that I messed with something that we talked about doing and it wasn't an intentional on purpose thing.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not mad. I'm not mad. Okay, well, I remember the cake now, and that's why I think I was.

[Morgan]

Like, oh, ordered a cake for you.

[Bobby Bones]

Right.

[Amy]

So how do we move past it? Like, can we buy everybody a cake? Okay, I'll get you a cake.

[Eddie]

I'll take a cake.

[Amy]

I'll get a cake to. I don't know. There's just like. And I've talked. Texted Caitlin about, like, let's do something so that you can meet him. Like, it's just. We're in this weird season of our lives. I think that we have. We've talked about it, but not.

[Bobby Bones]

She doesn't share secrets of me that she's not supposed to. I thought married people shared secrets that they weren't supposed to share with each other. Husbands and wife.

[Eddie]

Like, when someone says, don't tell, she doesn't tell me. That's kind of cool.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not. I thought husbands and wife always told their secrets.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

I got an idea.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Morgan]

We got to bring him in for a Friday morning conversation.

[Amy]

I don't know that he'll do Friday morning conversation with. He's not. He's not public, but I just.

[Eddie]

We're good. You're good, Amy.

[Bobby Bones]

You're good, Amy.

[Morgan]

So breaking news. Amy has a boyfriend. Oh.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But when did it break?

[Amy]

Like, a long ago. Who knows?

[Morgan]

Probably two months ago.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the source?

[Amy]

Amy, on our podcast, four Things casually.

[Bobby Bones]

So I can't do a cake if it's already been announced.

[Amy]

Okay, but. Okay, but then, Cal, when do we move on and get some of it out there of, like, what my life is like now that I am never divorced and co parenting and a boyfriend?

[Bobby Bones]

Perfect cake. It was birthday cake flavor with sprinkles.

[Eddie]

Oh, dang it.

[Bobby Bones]

And it had a guy and a girl on it, but look like married but not married. That wasn't the married thing.

[Eddie]

So cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I know.

[Amy]

And you can eat and you can eat.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but it was like man and woman. You could eat the man and woman, too.

[Amy]

Oh, but, like, there's things.

[Bobby Bones]

Chocolate. Love chocolate. Okay, okay. Well, we got this.

[Amy]

I hope we can move past this and get it out and then we can start sharing some things, because I would like y'all to know more.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you tell them. Well, turn the mics off and you let them know.

[Eddie]

We can just ask.

[Amy]

No, I think that there's. No. I think there's things that I feel ready to share with listeners that I haven't said at all that I think in coming alongside other people, at least that I've heard from, that are divorced and dating and not feeling that hopeful about it and what it's like out there and fear about dating certain types of people, because I certainly feared dating my husband or my boyfriend, period. Like, I was. I avoided going out with him for, like, eight months.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you say that to Morgan on the Best Bits? Did you guys talk about that?

[Scuba Steve]

No, we never got into any of that. It really was like, surface level about Valentine's Day, because you guys had just talked about Valentine's Day and the voicemail about the boyfriend.

[Amy]

Like, the big thing about him I haven't said at all, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, let's do it on 25 whistles. Like I said, really get people to come over.

[Amy]

Sounds great.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, thanks.

[Scuba Steve]

Hey, y'all. I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz. My podcast, when youn're Invisible is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life. I Get to talk to a lot of people who form the backbone of our society but who have never been interviewed before. Season 2 is all about community organizing and being underestimated.

[Bobby Bones]

All the greatest changes have happened. When a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.

[Amy]

I can't have more than $2,000 in.

[Bobby Bones]

My bank account or else I can't get disability benefits. They won't let you succeed.

[Lunchbox]

I know we get paid to serve you guys, but like, be respectful. We're made out of the same things.

[Scuba Steve]

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bone Show Bonehead Story of the day.

[Morgan]

This story comes to us from West Deptford, New Jersey. A 53 year old man has a restraining order out of.

[Lunchbox]

Bobby Bone Show.

[Bobby Bones]

Bonehead Story of the day.

[Morgan]

This story comes to us from West Deptford, N.J. new Jersey.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Nutella. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead story of the day.

[Morgan]

This story comes to us from New Jersey. A 53 year old man has a restraining order out against them. But you know what? He's like, I'm just gonna stop by and see how the victims doing. So he stops by the.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie]

Just a check.

[Bobby Bones]

What? Okay.

[Morgan]

Stops by the house and they call police. So he leaves and goes back to his house, is in his garage and they show up and what do they find? A lab. Illegal guns, everything in the garage.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it for like discovering a cure for cancer? No, I didn't think so, but I was asking. Photo lab. Yeah.

[Morgan]

No, no, no, no. A drug lab. Oh, oh, that could have blown up like the lab.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I've got my pen, I'm in the lab writing the songs. Like.

[Morgan]

No, no, not like.

[Bobby Bones]

No, yeah, yeah, no, no, not that.

[Morgan]

An illegal lab.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, like Labrador retrievers.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, a lab.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's good too. Yeah, that's good. So none of that?

[Morgan]

No, they said that he was charged with the ability to blow up innocent people because of his lab.

[Amy]

Oh, gosh.

[Eddie]

Never heard of that.

[Bobby Bones]

So it wasn't a drug lab? No, it was, but it's.

[Morgan]

No, no, it's a drug lab. But meth labs can blow up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you know, I'm familiar with that.

[Morgan]

But that's what it's. They charged him with.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's a family that were. That blew up. Well, it was A lab. A lab is a really. It's a rudimentary thing, but I'm not gonna throw one of the bus down. They share my last name. Blew up their trailer. They had a small trailer outside their trailer, a camper trailer. And they. I almost say we because it's like family, but I was never. I didn't do it, guys. Okay, but, like, blew up. Almost died. Like, blew up. That, like, boom. Blew up the trailer. All the trailers in the wood, deep in the woods, so nobody got in trouble. But yeah, I've seen a couple meth labs. Well, afterward, one blow up and then one catch fire. I've seen the catch fire one. Oh, but they're dirty. When we say lab, I'm telling you guys, it looks like a. The ones I've seen that aren't high quality, not crystal meth. They look like a really terrible college dorm room stuff. Strode everywhere. Food, pizza, chemicals. Awful.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's not, like, clean with no beakers.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, none of that. Okay, well, I'm glad to hear that the person also wasn't hurt when they stopped by for a visit.

[Morgan]

Yeah, when he stopped by their house, he didn't have anything, but led all the police to his garage and boom. See you later.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go.

[Morgan]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, keep roll on for a second. Scuba question. Yes, we're recording all this now. We're gonna take that good bonehead, the successful one, and that'll air on the show. Okay, my question is, Scuba and I were in a meeting a couple days ago, and he's like, hey, we may have a client that comes on, and they want to, like, highlight when people mess up.

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

Oh, interesting.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I say something like, that's the way you messed up. I don't know what it is. Oh, yeah, you know what?

[Eddie]

And you hand them something to, like, make their morning better.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what it is. Okay. And this doesn't have to be a Lunchbox thing.

[Eddie]

Yes. O.

[Bobby Bones]

But because it can be Amy thing or a me thing or whatever. Because at times, especially if we're recording, like, a Bonehead. And the reason. Because the radio show only heard the good Bonehead, the podcast is hearing this. The reason we do some of what we call a benchmark, like the Bonehead or the Tell me something Good, we'll record them before the show because they get sent out to affiliates, because they run them at different times all day long. So they'll run on our show, but then they may run them at noon or 3. And be like, here's the tell me something good of the day. Here's the Bonehead. So those are recorded. And do we want to say who it might be? It doesn't matter, right? It's fine.

[Eddie]

It's Starbucks. The ready to drinks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So Starbucks was like, hey, we want to do an integration, they call it. And I'm like, well, we don't mess up live like that, because if we're doing it, it's recorded. But the podcast gets millions of listens. And if, like, Lunchbox messed up, then I'd say what?

[Eddie]

You'd say something like, hey, man, you're having a morning. Grab one of these.

[Bobby Bones]

And then I hand him something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's funny. And Lunchbox doesn't drink coffee. But you would just take it and be like, yeah.

[Morgan]

And just take it and be like, thanks, man.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Eddie]

I need that.

[Bobby Bones]

Throw it against the wall.

[Eddie]

To be fair, he does it to himself. He picks cities, like Meccalachaha.

[Bobby Bones]

Mecca, honey.

[Amy]

Ohio.

[Bobby Bones]

Just say Ohio.

[Morgan]

I don't pick the cities, man. The cities pick me.

[Eddie]

I know, but you can ignore that and just like Ohio, it's more personal.

[Morgan]

If someone gets to hear their soul City on the Bonehead. I get messages like, oh, my gosh. You said my city. I'm so embarrassed.

[Eddie]

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.

[Bobby Bones]

And new sheets. Get a sheet slitter. Cheat of a sheet, you know?

[Eddie]

Or sometimes it really is just a bad day.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Sometimes it's just. That's.

[Bobby Bones]

Or he has, like, a glob in his throat. Yes. Yeah. And we're like, work it out before he come in. Work the glob out. He's like, I got it.

[Eddie]

But that's when you give one of those Starbucks ready to drinks to give a little boost.

[Bobby Bones]

This is from New Bra. Hold on.

[Morgan]

Yep. That happens, man.

[Bobby Bones]

It does happen, because we do record this. But why it happens is because it's so early when we record this. Same with Amy. Same with myself. And we're like, if we're doing Countdown or anything like that. So how are we close to landing that one?

[Eddie]

The other. Pretty close. Yeah. They asked for some other things, but this could. I think if we're going to give them this, this should.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. This wasn't even on purpose.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Just send them this. Okay.

[Eddie]

They'll be hearing this shortly.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Instead of be like, should we throw it at him? Like, painfully? He has to, like, dodge it. Yeah. This would be awesome.

[Amy]

So it's like an actual Starbucks coffee or like a Drink.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, the ones you get at.

[Eddie]

Like grocery stores or glass bottles.

[Bobby Bones]

The cans. I'm like, you suck. Here's your reward.

[Morgan]

So basically, I got us a new client.

[Bobby Bones]

You did not. It had nothing to do with you. You mess up a lot. You made it easier.

[Morgan]

Bam. That's what I do.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so we will extract that bonehead for the radio show. Yeah, we've left all this up in the podcast, correct?

[Eddie]

Correct. Yeah, it's up there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Okay.

[Eddie]

Ray's rolling, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, awesome. Thank you, Ray. There is Kip Moore, everybody, back in Tuning. Good to see you, buddy. You look lean and mean.

[Lunchbox]

Just got done surfing for two straight months, so I guess maybe that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you live in Hawaii?

[Lunchbox]

No, I don't live there. I go there though for at least like a month every winter.

[Bobby Bones]

So what do you do for a whole month? Like talk me through a day in Hawaii because. No idea. I.

[Lunchbox]

You know, normally I'm up before the sun comes up. I used to always ride my bicycle into downtown Lahaina, but that's no longer with us at the moment.

[Bobby Bones]

Because the fires.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because the fires. And it's. But kind of gave me a little hope this time. I mean, when I was there last year, it was totally like an apocalyptic scene. It was pretty gnarly. This year you're starting to see frames go up and hopefully that's followed by, you know, business and stuff. But it still was my routine where I take a bike ride early morning and I would check the whole South Shore coast to see if anything was close by happening, breaking. And then if nothing's happening, I go to Honolulua Bay. Usually I get. I got a truck that I rent out there from a buddy and yeah, so it's like a 20 minute drive. And then I'll surf for four or five hours. And then I go to our roots. I get a little coffee and a little lunch and then I go back out and surf a little longer. And then if some buddies are doing something on the other side of the North Shore, I might mountain bike late in the evening. We'll go up to Haleak Wall and go all the way down and we'll do like a campfire up on Poly Poly and call it a day.

[Amy]

You do that every day for a month?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a different language.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, yeah, I wouldn't say every single day, but the majority of that, at least pieces of that I'm doing every single day.

[Bobby Bones]

And when you surf that long, it's got to be something more than just the physical Part of it, I never surfed. So, like, why do you love surfing?

[Lunchbox]

You know, Bobby, it's. Think about it like this. I love to snowboard. I love it like, I really do. I love playing music. I love it like truly for the purity of it. But either one of those scenarios. But we'll say realistically, like if you said, oh man, where are you going to snowboarding this year? And I said, you know, Park City. He said, oh man, you're going to have a blast. But just be careful because every winter over there, there's a big monster that comes out of the mountain and kills like two people on the way down. I would never snowboard again. That'd be it. You never see me on the mountain. Surfing is the only thing I feel like once we get past the age of like, you know, 11, 12, 13, we have happiness and we have joyful moments in life. I'm not saying that. But to tap in to that childlike spirit of 9, 10, 11 years old is impossible. It's the only thing that does it. So, you know, when I catch a really good wave, this throttling, and I'm on top of like a one foot reef where there's that also that danger element of oh man, you know, I could die. It's two feet overhead and you see people coming out bloody all the time when you catch that and you're in it and you feel that euphoric thing that's happened in that moment and it's, you know, the waves are like carved in these celestial workshops and it's, you know, you get out the backside and the sun's setting and everything. You feel like you're a little kid. And so I'll. You kind of risk that for anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you able to separate yourself from the world and the tasks or troubles of the world? Because you have to focus on just that. Is that a part of it?

[Lunchbox]

You just said it. It's the only thing. I feel trapped a little bit, in a maniacal state that I stay in a lot. You know, I can't ever seem to turn that thing off. And that's the only time that it happens. That's the only thing that I'm doing where everything just kind of goes away. And it's not just like, you know, music and stuff that I'm hearing, you know, all the time in my head, but it's. I. I feel everything big and small, like really deeply. So, you know, I can even remember when we played South Africa last year, I had a moment I've been doing Some things underground over there. And I had a moment where I met this kid, and I've never had a kid make that kind of impact on me. And I carried it with me for. I mean, it was just constantly in there, you know, for months. It felt like it's the only time that when I'm out there and you're in that. That everything goes away. The music, all the things that come with it, the madness, whatever heartache you're experiencing, whatever it is, it all goes away. And it kind of has to, because you have to be dialed in. If it's really pumping, you cannot think about anything else.

[Bobby Bones]

Who was the kid?

[Lunchbox]

It was. So I've been going to these shanty towns in different spots of Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town. And there's a woman that's been running a soup kitchen there for years. I'd heard about her and I wanted to meet her. And they said, well, you can't go into this area because it's just way too dangerous. So I said, well, let's go. We're going today, because this is my only day off. And they were. You know, it was like this back and forth, and the government got involved. I was like, you can't go. We can't go in there, yada, yada. So we ended up going. We weren't supposed to, but I talked a couple of my security guards to take me there. And I met her. I wanted to meet her in person because I wanted to get involved with her. So then that went to this other thing where she was talking about these safe houses she was wanting to build. So that's when I started meeting these individual kids. So this kid was Michael, who lived in this. I mean, this space that was. I mean, easily just as big as this square right here with about six other kids, six of his brothers, one sister. Never met a more gregarious kid in my life. Yeah, just it. So now we're just trying to. Well, not trying to. It's actually happening right now. So now we're working on. The safe houses are going up now in that area.

[Bobby Bones]

Did that remind you that you're not always just a product of your environment? Meaning this kid has, from what we have, a pretty rough life. But if he had such a positive attitude, like you're explaining how he is, like people were drawn to him.

[Lunchbox]

He's unreal. He was unreal.

[Bobby Bones]

Does that continue to give you new perspective when you see somebody living a life like that, but doesn't act like you think someone should actually live a life like that?

[Lunchbox]

1,000%. There's so many elements to this. And when we could sit here and we could talk for two days on this, because I got so many opinions on this, but, you know, you can't help but look around and what. What is happening within that particular area. Tub. The opportunity just is not there. So that light will most likely start dimming. But that's, you know, the special thing about kids before we kind of ruin them in a sense, you know, and. But his environment is nothing but gangs affiliated around him. You feel the tension unlike anything I've ever been in inside that. So you know that there is. I'm really big on this. I'm really big on if you can be in a really dire poverty situation, money speaking, but if you have a solid foundation of parental structure, you can get past those things. But without that and in that situation, yeah, it's a. It's a. It's pretty dire.

[Bobby Bones]

Where do you live?

[Lunchbox]

What state I live? I mean, I live here and you're male.

[Bobby Bones]

Where's your mail? Come.

[Lunchbox]

I live. I live in Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

State.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, I still live in Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

So your bills come here. Yeah, got it.

[Lunchbox]

I still. I still live in Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

You're all over. Hawaii, South Africa.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like when it's time to check the cell phone bill.

[Lunchbox]

Like, where, where. Yeah, yeah. I mean, that goes over there on Charlotte, but. Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So what. What about time to actually be creative? When do you get that? Because you have the new record out. But like, when do you write this stuff?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, it was. It was every single day, Bobby. It was truly a relentless pursuit. Every. Every time I got home last year, I was in this. I was either writing with my friends or I would start most of the songs. I'd get halfway done at this, you know, little place I got on the east coast, and that's where I would go and I would write it and then I would get guys out there, but I would hold up tracking. I mean, it was non stop recording every time I had days off. And I mean, I did. I don't know, I guess I did a hundred shows last year. So it was every time I was home. I mean, I was. I was working on it. Every time I was back in Nashville.

[Bobby Bones]

You're working on it, but when were you riding it?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I mean, like I wake up every single morning, it's the first thing I do. And that might end up being, you know, on the road. And, you know, I'm. I get off the bus and I have a little. Whole little process that I do But I'm jotting out the lyrics that I've got, what that I wake up with. And I'm singing the melodic parts, the counter melodies into my phone. Because I'm always got that there. So then I see what I have. If it's something that moves me, I might be three, four hours into it before soundcheck, or it might just jot down a little bit for 30 minutes. I come back to it after soundcheck, then it's another hour, and then I come back to it after the gym, and it's another hour. It all depends. It all varies. And then late night, I've gotten to where that's kind of when late night, super early morning is when I feel the sharpest.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray, can we play a few of the songs here? Yep. Let's do Bad Spot. Can you give me some Bad Spot? This is Kip Morton Studio. You feel sad there, man. What was that? What's happening with you?

[Lunchbox]

This record was. Was very much a. An unpacking of the closet. It was, you know, I think that, you know, even with you guys, I mean, it's. You come in here and you hustle every day and. Or you're on the road a whole lot, and you have this ability to start compartmentalizing. You compartmentalize all these things in your life, and you shove them down and you bury them. And a lot of times, because you don't want to face it, and you don't want to look at yourself like, you know, you don't want to look at yourself and actually see what it is, you know, what you've done or what somebody's done to you. And so this record was a very cathartic process of that. And I didn't know it was happening because I write, like I said, I truly write every single morning. So I'm not always in a record cycle. But I wrote High Hopes Live Inside, which is one of my favorites on the record. And Solitary tracks in, like, a week span. And then it's like, oh, I'm writing a record right now. I'm saying something. I've got something to say. And I felt it. You know, I felt these things that are buried. And I think it's just an unpacking of that closet, looking in all the junk and saying you're sorry. Some people you can't reach out to and say you're sorry to saying your sorrys in your heart for those people, trying to pray for forgiveness for that, and then trying to receive the grace of that for yourself and letting go of the things that people hurt you on. And I think that's what this whole record is.

[Bobby Bones]

There's one. I'd like you to comment on that. I like the Flowers in December. Could you play that, Ray? Make that a little more personal for me?

[Lunchbox]

You know, that was actually me thinking about my dad. It wasn't so much of a. Of a. It is a love song in a way, in that sense, but it was. He'll creep into my mind at the strangest places. But then thinking about him had me also thinking about it. That's like a chain event that happens. And then I'm thinking about something a long time ago that went awry and our lives went separate ways. And I happened to be looking at a flower at that time, that it wilted. And that's how the whole kind of concept came there.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a lot of tracks, 23 tracks. Solitary tracks is out. But 23 songs, does that mean you wrote a whole bunch more and you cut it down to 23?

[Lunchbox]

It was just going to be the 13 from side A and B. And that's all it was going to be. Because that side A and B is a thing. It's a very specific thing. The sounds, the sonic nature of it is all one thing. And then when I finished it, the label said, well, you actually. You got four months until we have to turn this in if it's going to come out February 28th. Because that was always the set date. And so I just kept writing. And then C and D is more of just an eclectic mix of. I was in a whole different space because once I wrote that, I was done mentally with that in the way I felt. And so everything started to change. And then I had Love and War, which is just a straightforward rock and roll song, and Alley Cat. And it was a different kind of levity to the music. And it's. But it's definitely kind of a hodgepodge mix on the next side. So I just decided, what the heck, you know, I couldn't have done this in the situation that I was in. Let's just give my whole pile of songs, you know, they hadn't had a record in a minute. So with.

[Bobby Bones]

As much as you travel, do you do a lot of stuff alone a lot? Like go to restaurant, go to movie a lot?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, And I. I've always kind of done that, though. I mean, at 16, I was doing that, you know, I was making up an excuse with everybody, you know, And I love. I love companionship, I love hanging out with good people and But I can just remember kind of being aware when my dad kind of probed me, like, why didn't you go with Jason and Matthew when they were. Came by the house and. But then you left at 9:00. You know, he didn't. Couldn't quite wrap his head around that. But I would go see the movie by myself instead of going with everybody else.

[Bobby Bones]

Why is that?

[Lunchbox]

I don't know. And at times, I love. Like I said, I love the companionship, but I love sitting. I love sitting in the coffee shop by myself jotting out thoughts. I love to read.

[Amy]

It's a solitude thing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, there's a difference between, like, being lonely and. And finding solitude.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's going to be a monk.

[Lunchbox]

It's definitely not a. Like a long interview.

[Bobby Bones]

He announced he's going to be a monk.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, but see, like, you say, like, I'm. There's a part of that. Like, I've even looked into going to those temples and doing the thing where you don't speak for a month. I'm. There's a. There's a. There's a romantic nature to that. And I just think there's certain things that you can't find out about yourself when you're constantly surrounded by people. Like, I'm. And I feel like being uncomfortable is the best way to learn who you are. I really feel that way. So it's not that I'm just trying to stay away from people a lot, but it's like, even when I go on these surfing trips, you know, I'll go get a dirt bike in El Salvador and then make my way down in Nicaragua or whatever and maybe keep going. And I love it. I love the. I got back this morning and yesterday morning, and I quickly. It's like, man. And I'm not. By no means am I bashing Nashville in any sense, but I get here and the madness right away, you know, you're in that traffic and it's just chaos and everybody's honking, everybody seems on edge. And you go to the gym now, and everything just feels so different than even what it was 10 years ago in this town. And it seems like everyone's insular. Super, super insular. It's a very. You don't feel warmth in these places. And so I think, too, I love so much being by myself. I can't tell you how many experiences I've had in the last two months where I pulled up on a dirt bike to a surf spot and I'm just sitting there and I got A cup of coffee in my hands and I'm just kind of hanging out. And the next thing you know, there's somebody else that comes up right here. And next thing you know, there's somebody else here. And before you know it, because there's no waves, we've had a three hour conversation about everything under the sun, and the next thing you know, we're all grabbing dinner the next night. I make friendships, real friendship. So much in the gym that I go to the block Maui, which is just my favorite gym in the world that you walk in and there is such a warmth in that place. And everybody's. It's a genuine nature of. They're excited to see. And it's everybody in there and they're all hanging out, they're talking and they're still getting their workout in and then they all go hanging. I have made more friends in these places that I'm in for just a brief amount of time than the gym that I go to every day in Nashville. I can't think of anybody that I really even hung out with. I've been working out there for eight, nine years. It's just a different thing of everyone's guard is down, there's no inhibitions. Nobody's trying to be cool, Nobody's trying to put on some front. They're not looking around over the shoulder. And who else is in the room? And well, I gotta go. I got a thing. And I got. It's none of that, it's none of this like surface thing. You're. You're in like these deep conversations so fast in these places. And then the next thing you know, I'm in a living room that's happened in Mexico recently. And I meet this guy, I could barely speak English. And we're looking at the waves. We end up surfing all day together. And he's like telling me. And I can kind of understand Spanish pretty good now. And he's invited me back to his house. Next thing you know, I'm in a house with nine people having tacos where no one can speak English. And I'm in their living room in this tiny little house. And like, I'm like brothers with that guy now. And so every time I go back, you know, there's, you know, there's. It's awesome. There's no social, like, you know, it's like people here, around here want to hang out with the people here. It's a weird thing. And it's. You've got doctors hanging out with fishermen hanging out with plumbers. Hanging out with guy that runs a gym and nobody cares. And when I'm traveling by myself, I open myself up to all those things because I'm just kind of drifting and letting it all kind of happen. Happen.

[Bobby Bones]

Obviously, you're playing a bunch of shows and you and Billy are doing some shows. What song in the first few notes do people hear and freak out of of yours?

[Lunchbox]

That was us.

[Bobby Bones]

Just.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Right away. That was us. The Bull. I would say the Bull's probably the biggest song that I have, which, you know, it's never on the radio, and it's probably the biggest. Yeah. Easily wherever I go around the world, that. When. The minute. You know, that one. And that was us in Crazy One more Time. Those are probably the three that garner the biggest reaction.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you going to learn all these songs? All 23.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, gosh, Bobby. You know, last night I got home, and I'll be honest, this is the first time that I've, like, really checked out, like, Truly. I was writing, but normally when I go, I'll start kind of thinking about the next year and working on the new stuff that I've written. And I just started looking at it last night and trying to relearn, because a lot of times, too, you record them a certain way, and then when you play them live or you're playing them acoustic, you got to rearrange them a certain way. So I've spent no time. So I. I gotta. I gotta get on that pretty quick.

[Bobby Bones]

You look jacked. I'll be honest with you.

[Lunchbox]

I don't. I mean, what do you bench? No clue. I've never maxed in my. No clue.

[Bobby Bones]

He looks pretty jacked.

[Eddie]

Pretty jacked.

[Lunchbox]

Probably, like, we're ready to ball two.

[Bobby Bones]

285. You do 285 one time.

[Lunchbox]

Truly, no clue. Truly, no clue.

[Amy]

But, like, when you're working out, you don't.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, adults really don't max, though. I mean, I did just because I wanted to, like, see what I could do.

[Amy]

He's like, yeah. Y'all know they. These guys know what they're.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm an idiot. So I Max, like, because I want to relive my junior high school football days. So I didn't know.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. You know, like, I know what. I know what kind of weights I work out with when I'm doing sets and stuff, but I've never maxed. I. Maybe I did in high school, maybe, but I don't remember maxing out.

[Bobby Bones]

You ever do, like, rocks when you're in a country and there's no weight. You're, like, just lifting boulders. So I picture you doing.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, two hand curls with boulders. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

In El Salvador, that's all you could do. So I didn't want to stop, like, training, so, I mean, I was surfing a lot, but, like, you know, you got. You'd find big rocks and do. Yeah.

[Amy]

Are you on life360 or anything like that? I feel like somebody in your life needs to know where you are at all times. Like, I'm kind of worried.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Nicaragua. I've been. It don't feel safe.

[Amy]

But, like. Like, are you able to be loc if need be?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Amy]

You're, like, off the grid. So, like.

[Lunchbox]

No, I mean, I don't even. I don't even have a computer.

[Bobby Bones]

But you have a phone.

[Lunchbox]

I got a phone. Like a. Yeah, I got. I got an old iPhone, like, I think in 2013, still running.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, we're not worried for you because you got it all figured out, but.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I don't have it figured out. I'm the last person that's got it figured out.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's what allows us to say, you have it figured out. Because if you thought you had it figured out, you wouldn't. It's those that don't have it figured out are the ones that have it figured out that you never actually figured out.

[Amy]

Yeah, I'm kind of jealous of.

[Lunchbox]

We all quit.

[Amy]

How you get to live.

[Bobby Bones]

We're all out of here.

[Amy]

But I also am worried.

[Eddie]

What's cool is we've wondered where you've been.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

And now we know he's been on.

[Amy]

A bike in Nicaragua.

[Lunchbox]

I don't. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

It's good to see you, buddy.

[Lunchbox]

It's good to see you guys.

[Bobby Bones]

What people may not know about Kip is that Kip is still. Is a plus athlete. Not even at, like, the rock climbing and the surfing, but, like, was, like, in it and still maybe an elite golfer. I don't know if you get to play enough golf, but, like, Kip's, like, a true artist slash athlete. He's the reason my cup isn't full in those areas. Like, God gave him so much. He didn't have any left for a guy like me, which it's like, oh, we gave it all to Kip.

[Lunchbox]

He gave you plenty. Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. We do have a challenge that we've been doing here. It has to do with a bit of hand eye coordination. Do you still feel like yours is pretty good?

[Lunchbox]

Decent.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. We've had a couple people Give it a run. We had. The current leader is Dirk Spentley. Matt Carney is right under him. We're going to put the scoreboard up behind you now. You can walk away from the challenge. It doesn't matter. But you ever play Bop it before?

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. It's a very easy game. You hit the button, you bop it, you twist it and you pull it and it tells you what to do. All you have to do is listen. You take a practice run. You take a run.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. I heard one of you guys talking about you're spear fishing on the way in here before I leave after. When this is over, whatever. I have the most insane story I've ever heard.

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't you tell on the mic?

[Eddie]

I want to hear it.

[Lunchbox]

I'll give you the really quick version. Dear friend of mine. I'll be Lair, who's probably the. The best big wave rider in the world. The most radical human being you ever meet.

[Bobby Bones]

Surfer. Big wave rider means surfer.

[Lunchbox]

He's insane. And his buddy Tory Meister is also a ripping professional surfer. So Tory is only spearfish twice and Albie goes all the time. And they were on the north shore and this happened like two weeks ago. Albie's down low, he's got all these fish around his belt. He's been catching and he can hold his breath for like four minutes straight. So Tory's up close to top of the surface and he can hear the screaming happening. And he looks up, there's about a 12 foot tiger shark that keeps rushing at him. So he's fighting him off with his spear. So Alvy freaks out and takes his belt off real fast and swims up to the top, gets in front of the shark to like tamper with it and lets the belt go. Shark dives about 10ft and goes away from it right away. Albie sees the shark go away, so he tells him to go up real quick. They get a breath, he says, we're gonna have to go back down. We don't want to be bobbing on top. So they go back down to get eye level, see where it's at. Comes back around, circles from behind him and he says, you know, I've been in the water with so many sharks, but I've never had one literally trying to eat me. And it's going at him. He said the speed of this thing was crazy and it would dart at him. And they were fighting this thing off the spears. It was a solid 15 minute fight with this shark. And now they're trying to spirit and swim backwards towards the shore. And so are they holding the spear?

[Bobby Bones]

They're not shooting a spear over and over again. They're just holding the spirit because if.

[Lunchbox]

You shoot it, you've only got one shot. Yeah. So the shark was opening its mouth and Albie told him they kept going to the surface. Whenever would swim off, they would quickly go to the surface, get a breath. And Albie told him towards the end, he says, this thing is going to eat us if we don't do something now. Because he could tell how desperate this shark was. Must have been super hungry. Juvenile shark, 12ft, male. So. But he knew he only had one shot. He said, if it opens his mouth again, I'm trying to shoot in his mouth, but then you're going to be the only one with a spear. He never got the shot because it was so. He said it was so quick and you couldn't time it. But now the shark had figured out it went behind him and it was trying to push him back out to the deep. And it's pushing him out further and further. He said this fight went on for a solid 15 minutes where he truly thought of all the big wave. Rodney's done. And you know, he's had severe brain damage from Jaws and stuff. He said this was. I knew it was over. As aggressive as this thing was, they finally fought it off and they made their way back. And how did.

[Bobby Bones]

What was the final.

[Lunchbox]

It just. It finally get. Gave.

[Bobby Bones]

It got tired.

[Lunchbox]

It gave up with them. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, that's crazy. That's crazy. That's why you don't surf. That's truly. You're talking about snowboarding. If a monster was in the mountains, that's the monster that I would not. That's why I don't go out there. That story alone, I was gonna go surfing today. Not doing it.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so this is just hand eye coordination. So if you hit scuba, if you want to show me, hit the button, we'll do a practice round. We'd have no idea. That's the thing. We don't even know how to offer expert advice. But you will win a scholarship. You will win a scholarship. So if you hit, it's gonna tell you that's the middle button. So that's bop it and that's twist it. And the other ones pull it. Little practice around here. Bop it. Twist it. Pull it. Twist it. All right, he's ready. Let it die now. Let it die now. One of the most athletic guys I know, he's gonna play Bop it. He's ready to go. The leader is Dirk Smelly with 18. Kip, are you ready? All right, hit it up. Pull it.

[Eddie]

Pull it. No, pull it.

[Amy]

Let's twist it.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Now bop it. 16.

[Morgan]

Bop it.

[Bobby Bones]

Twist it. Pull it. Twist it. Pull it. Twist it. Bop it. Bop it. Pull it. Twist it. Twist it. Oh, it slipped out of his hand. 9.

[Lunchbox]

What was the high score?

[Bobby Bones]

18. That you were on it. That was a thing. It just slipped out of your hand? That was a grip issue.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Anyways, now it's going to sleep. Well, look, man, the record, I'm gonna be honest. It's 23 tracks. I haven't listened to every single track, but I did listen to a lot of it. It's awesome.

[Lunchbox]

I appreciate it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I listened to A and B the first.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Yeah, I got you.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how I knew.

[Lunchbox]

Take it. Take it. Take a look on Forever's Alive when you hear you.

[Bobby Bones]

They only gave me the thing last night. The record, it's not actually out yet. I mean, it is. While we're talking about it.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I only just got it, like, last night. Yeah. Yeah. I'm rooting for you. I love the project. I love that it feels so personal. You're able to do it how you wanted to do it. I think that's.

[Lunchbox]

I appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's probably more fulfilling for you than any other project you've ever done.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

You got to do your thing. Everyone that's listening now, go see Kip on the road. And he's doing a bunch of dates himself. He's all over the place, but also he's doing a bunch of dates with Billy, Billy Currington. And the record is out today. It's weird when something new comes out because do you expect feedback immediately? Do you search for feedback immediately?

[Lunchbox]

No. I've tried to, like, really disassociate myself when I like. It's. It's. Yeah. You know, because I can't sit here and say I don't care because I do probably too much. So I try to disassociate myself when I get done with the project. Like, I mean, I've really put it behind and then I'll be playing it soon and I'll be reconnected to it. But, you know, music is just so subjective. So I've just learned to let that be what it is.

[Bobby Bones]

Solitary tracks out now. Kit Moore.

[Eddie]

Go.

[Bobby Bones]

Kitmoremusic Good to see you, buddy.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you so much.

[Bobby Bones]

There he is. Kit Moore, everybody.

[Lunchbox]

Thank you love the Larry Bird Sound Ball.

[Amy]

Hey, y'all.

[Scuba Steve]

I'm Maria Fernanda Diaz. My podcast when youn're Invisible is my love letter to the working class people and immigrants who shaped my life. I get to talk to a lot of people who form the backbone of our society, but who have never been interviewed before. Season 2 is all about community organizing and being underestimated.

[Bobby Bones]

All the greatest changes have happened when a couple of people said, this sucks, let's do something about it.

[Amy]

I can't have more than $2,000 in.

[Bobby Bones]

My bank account or else I can't get disability benefits.

[Amy]

They won't let you succeed.

[Lunchbox]

I know we get paid to serve you guys, but, like, be respectful. We're made out of the same things.

[Scuba Steve]

Bone, body, blood.

[Lunchbox]

It's rare to have black male teachers. Sometimes I am the lesson and I'm also the testament.

[Scuba Steve]

Listen to when you're invisible as part of the my Cultura Podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's a voicemail.

[Scuba Steve]

Hey, Bobby, I heard a rumor that Amy was dating Brett Eldridge.

[Amy]

Is this true?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Oh, wow. Really?

[Amy]

I thought we weren't going to talk about it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not.

[Amy]

It's not true.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not true.

[Amy]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

I think we may have. I. We didn't start the rumor. I think somebody, like, made a joke or something at one point and that's kind of where that came from. That is. That is not true. Yeah, it's funny, though. It is funny. Hey, Ray, give me number two.

[Lunchbox]

Morning, Bobby. Morning, studio. I call quite a bit. Never made it to the air yet, but I'm sure this one will. Amy, I was going to sit down and watch paradise tonight. Somebody had this morning told me how good it was and I didn't want to know anything else about it. Super excited. Told my fiance about it, we were gonna sit down and watch it tonight. And now, once again, you just spoiled a show. So thanks for that.

[Amy]

His car's dinging the entire time.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, don't hold it. Get something that his door's open.

[Amy]

I think a little ding, ding. And also, how did I spoil Paradise?

[Bobby Bones]

You did. Because there's something you said that nobody knows going into that show. I did not know it. When that happened, I was like, what? It totally shifted what I thought the show was even about.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. So what you did is you spoiled the first episode.

[Amy]

I did?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

I need to look at the previews for that and see what is available.

[Bobby Bones]

And when she went to the dings on car. You knew she was wrong. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that was desperation.

[Amy]

I feel like the photo of the show, like, gives away a little bit of what it's like. Okay, Amy, just stop.

[Bobby Bones]

Now it's in. Thank you, guys.

[Scuba Steve]

Sorry.

[Amy]

I'm just never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever talking about a show ever again.

[Bobby Bones]

You've already said this before. You literally said this two months ago.

[Amy]

Okay, but now I mean it, because I don't want her. I don't mean mean to ruin it for people. I really don't.

[Bobby Bones]

I believe that.

[Amy]

I promise. I'm like, what is wrong with me?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think the guy yesterday had a point. You're a demon.

[Amy]

Yeah, it feels pretty satanic of me.

[Bobby Bones]
