Key Discussion Points

1. Amy Admits to Driving Illegally

[03:18–08:21, 22:54–29:08]

• Amy reveals she let her driver's license expire and, as a result, has been driving illegally.
  • “I have to go everywhere with my passport... I’m driving, yes, to come to work today. Illegal.” – Amy [06:09, 06:29]
• She discusses missing the renewal deadline and now needing to retake the written (and possibly driving) exam to get her license and the new Real ID.
• There's debate about whether Amy “forgot” on purpose for a bit for the show or just procrastinated.
  • “Do we believe she forgot on purpose?” – Bobby [04:27]
  • “No, because I don't. I mean, maybe.” – Eddie [04:28]
• Amy admits to purposefully letting the license expire because of long Real ID lines and dreading the process:
  • “No, I did. I let it run out on purpose because also, I wasn’t looking forward to going to renew my license.” – Amy [07:39]
• Bobby quizzes Amy on sample written test questions with the group chiming in. Amy does surprisingly well.
  • “You should pass the test. These are the jobs. Just eliminate the idiot ones.” – Bobby [28:55]
• The group jokes about how long Amy can push her luck.
  • “How long can I last with an expired license?” – Amy [07:23]
  • “No, that’s not a fun game.” – Bobby [07:25]

---

2. Relationship Dilemma: Should You Ask Your Girlfriend to Chip In For The Engagement Ring?

[08:43–13:17]

• A listener asks if it’s reasonable to request help from his girlfriend to buy the expensive engagement ring she wants.
  • “So I’ve been thinking about whether it’s reasonable to ask her to help pay for it since it’s the ring she really wants...” – Bobby (reading listener letter) [08:43]
• Bobby’s take: If the element of surprise is already out and there’s open communication, it’s ok to bring it up honestly and offer options (wait and save, take a loan together, or she chips in).
  • “I don’t think that is an unacceptable option here.” – Bobby [09:34]
• Amy is uncomfortable with the idea but comes around to see nuance:
  • "I can't see a scenario... I would just advise them to wait and save.” – Amy [10:20, 10:39]
  • “If it’s that important to her, then yeah, she might be willing to throw down...” – Amy [12:09]
• Eddie asks if a downgrade is possible; Amy says she’d downgrade or wait rather than insist her partner stretch beyond his means.
• Consensus: Communication is key; if you’re already discussing rings, keep talking honestly about money.

Notable Quote:

• “No one wants to be asked. You want to pitch in for your ring.” – Amy [12:44]
• “You make a good point there. Because she's gonna have to pay for it anyway if they take out a loan.” – Eddie [12:27]

• Gambling adventures:

  • Bobby tries to prove he’s not lucky.
  • Turns $400 into $1,600 at the craps table, then loses $400 in slots, ends up way ahead after another craps win.
    • “Now, here's where the luck separates itself from just being lucky. I didn’t go back the whole rest of the weekend.” – Bobby [17:02]
  • Eddie finds $100, bets it, doubles it, then loses it.

Notable Moments:

• “The festival was great... It was incredible. And get ready to relive the once in a lifetime moments starting October 2nd, only on Hulu.” – Bobby [15:26]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show Morning Studio. Morning, Bones. Okay, Amy, what happened with your driver's test, Your driver's license?

[Amy]

Well, if y' all recall, I believe a couple of months ago, I informed y' all that I needed to renew my license and that I was like, coming up, there was going to be a deadline where if I didn't do it, by that point, I was gonna have to retake the test. And y' all were like, don't book your appointment.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait.

[Amy]

Wait till you have to retake the test. And at the time, I was like, okay, fine, you know, do it for. Do it for the show. Like, yeah, let's see if I can take the test now and how I would do. And now that time has come where I've missed the deadline. And now if I want a new driver's license because mine is expired, my only option is to take a test.

[Bobby Bones]

But you didn't do that for us. You just forgot. Now you're blaming.

[Amy]

No, I didn't forget.

[Eddie]

We said that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't remember that. You. I don't believe. No, no, no, I don'. Per. Because you forget a lot of stuff.

[Amy]

I don't have the tape, so I can't pull it, but surely somebody in here remembers that. You're like, amy, please, please don't go. Renew it. Take the test.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't think you would do it. There's no way. Because you forgot to do the lottery tickets.

[Amy]

No, I keep a good calendar. That was last minute.

[Bobby Bones]

Do we believe she forgot on purpose?

[Eddie]

No, because I don't. I mean, maybe.

[Amy]

Yes, I forgot the show.

[Eddie]

Maybe we.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no way. There's no way. I don't.

[Amy]

Somebody, Anybody.

[Lunchbox]

Amy. Amy, I'm gonna have your back. Bobby, you did.

[Bobby Bones]

I know we said it, but I'm saying she didn't. I don't think she didn't do. Because of the show.

[Amy]

I know we said it was like, yeah, this will be fun. I'll do it. I'm just saying the time has come. And now I'm. You know, we talk about regrets sometimes, and this is my show. Regrets. It's like, at the time I was with You. And I was like, yeah, that'll be fun. Then I can tell y', all, like, oh, this was on the test, or these are the questions I missed, or I barely passed, or I passed with flying colors or I failed. Worst case scenario.

[Eddie]

So what do you have to do here? Like, take a drive? Like, get in a car with someone and take that test.

[Amy]

I don't know all the details yet, but I'm sure I have to. I have to take the written test. I would imagine it's just the written. You think I have to physically get in the car with somebody?

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe, if you have to redo the test.

[Amy]

Well, what about the test we took on the show, like, two years ago? Does that count? We had a legit driver's ed guy.

[Bobby Bones]

There wasn't the risk of losing our.

[Amy]

License, but I think I was voted best driver by him.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't do that. And when we did our driver test out in the car, didn't you finish last?

[Amy]

No, I think I was first.

[Lunchbox]

But he also said, oh, you know, my daughter goes. Your daughter goes to my driving school. So I'm gonna give you extra points for that. I mean.

[Amy]

Oh, did I line him?

[Eddie]

Maybe that'll happen in the real one.

[Amy]

Oh, maybe I hired him.

[Bobby Bones]

So then what do you have to do? You have to go. Do you have a license right now?

[Amy]

No, it's expired. I have to go if everywhere with my passport. In fact, we went out the other night.

[Eddie]

That doesn't work.

[Amy]

Yes, it does.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't drive with your passport.

[Amy]

Yes, correct. But if you want to. Or if, like, we went out to dinner the other night and I ordered a drink, and they were like, can I see your ID And I had to give them my passport.

[Bobby Bones]

That works.

[Eddie]

They're like, you're from Tennessee. You're from right down the road.

[Amy]

It works. But, yes, I have to carry my passport to fly. Passport. Even if I'm going domestic to order a cocktail. Passport.

[Bobby Bones]

But you can.

[Amy]

If I get pulled over, I. I can drive with it. If I get pulled.

[Bobby Bones]

You're physically able to drive. Heck, you can drive without it.

[Amy]

I mean, I'm driving. Yes. To come to work today. Illegal.

[Eddie]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang, dang. She said.

[Amy]

I mean, yeah. No one.

[Eddie]

And it's all. And it's all our fault.

[Amy]

I'm breaking the law.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I don't believe. I'm not subscribing to the theory that she purposely.

[Amy]

Not your fault. I did it with you. I. I joined plan. But now that the time has come, And I'm fully expired. And now my only option. And I got to get a real id, so I have to get. That's. I mean, I'd have to get a new license anyway because mine's not real. But now I have to take a test.

[Bobby Bones]

When do you take the test?

[Amy]

Well, here's the thing. My son's 15.

[Bobby Bones]

He'll tutor you.

[Amy]

No, but I was like, is he gonna start driver's ed soon? So, like, we go together.

[Bobby Bones]

Carpool.

[Amy]

I mean, like non traditional student. Non traditional student. Yeah. So I don't know if anybody else is in my shoes. You're not alone. I feel you. It sucks. We just have to do it. Or let's see. How long can I last with an expired license?

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's not a fun game.

[Eddie]

It's not.

[Bobby Bones]

How long can I last?

[Eddie]

See, this is how it starts, Amy. This is what you do. And then you're gonna blame it on us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, because I do think I was encouraging her. Oh, that. But I just don't think she did that on purpose.

[Amy]

No, I did. I let it run out on purpose because also, I wasn't looking forward to going to renew my life.

[Bobby Bones]

Now we're getting too.

[Amy]

But now that we're here, I'm like, why didn't I just do it back then?

[Bobby Bones]

And you.

[Amy]

It's because the. Everyone's trying to get the real id. The lines are long.

[Eddie]

Isn't that over? I think everyone has their real idea.

[Amy]

Back a couple of months ago. Yeah, that was. Those were new stories. It's like lines wrapped around the building. You're never going to get your real id. And so then I tell y' all, I need to go do this because I have to renew it. And then y' all had the brilliant plan that I just put it off.

[Bobby Bones]

It's us, I guess. I'm telling you, I do not take the blame for this. Okay, let me ask you my question.

[Amy]

You can't take the blame. I'm an adult. I made the decision.

[Bobby Bones]

But would you ask some general knowledge? Driving questions for a driving test? Because my co host has to take the driving test. We'll do that in a second. I'm gonna get the questions. We'll ask them to Amy. Coming up. We'll see how you do.

[Amy]

Ok.

[Bobby Bones]

Anonymous in box. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My girlfriend picked out an engagement ring she really loves, but it's out of my budget. But she wants to get engaged soon. So I've been thinking about whether it's reasonable to Ask her to help pay for it since it's the ring she really wants. Do you think it's okay for a guy to ask his girlfriend to chip in for the ring? Or should I just wait longer to propose so I can save up for the ring? Appreciate your honest advice on this signed budgeting boyfriend. This is pretty easy one. Because if you've already talked about the ring, meaning it's not going to be a surprise, if that is not something that is important to you to do a complete. I'm shocked. Surprise proposal, then I don't think it's out of the realm of what's acceptable to go to her and actually present her with this to go, this is the ring that you want. I can't afford that right now. What do you want me to do? I don't think that's bad. I'm not saying you have to demand she chips in, but if you're like, I know you want this ring. I can't afford that right now. So what would you like? I can. I would love to propose sooner than later. I won't tell you exactly when, but I can't afford this ring. So I can take out a loan that we're all gonna have to. That we're both gonna have to pay back. Yeah. So that's going to be on both of us. Or if you wanted to chip in, that's fine. Or your dad or mom or whomever. Or we can just wait. Like, I will give you the option on what to do. I don't think that that is an unacceptable option here.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You've grown it a couple times.

[Amy]

Yeah, because I can't see a scenario. And maybe I need to think through it longer, but I don't like him asking her to chip in. And I know that's not how you presented it. You presented it more like, hey, this is the situation. So what do you want to do about it? Well, I guess I. I would just advise them to wait and save.

[Bobby Bones]

And what if she's, like, pressing him, though? Because that happens. Like, are you ever gonna propose?

[Amy]

Yeah, back off. I'm saving money.

[Bobby Bones]

Say that. Back off, lady.

[Amy]

Yeah. So you want this ring or not?

[Bobby Bones]

So tell her to get your ring. I'm going to have to wait.

[Amy]

I don't. I don't know, because we're. Now we're inserting that. She's pressuring. Maybe she's not. And she can be patient.

[Bobby Bones]

No, Let me read this line again. She wants to get engaged soon.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

He wrote that in the email.

[Eddie]

Would you be Willing to downgrade. Like, if he said. If he said, like, look, I can afford this. I really can't afford what you want, would you be willing to downgrade?

[Amy]

Gosh, I. I guess I don't know. I have not. The one time I did get engaged, I had no say. I guess I had. I said I liked round and he went to my sister and then he picked out the ring. And that's what I was proposed. Like, there was no, like, this is the ring I want. So I don't know that I'm that type of person to be like, this is exactly what I want and it must be this. Like, I guess I don't want to be really a part of it. I want you to propose to me and me not be involved in that process at all.

[Bobby Bones]

But they. She is involved because she's already showed him a ring. And that's what the question comes from. If she's already showing it to him, she has expressed her desire to have it. There's been communication about the ring and the proposal. And I think because there's already been communication, you could continue to communicate inside of it.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

The only time that I wouldn't do that is if it's all going to be a surprise. Yeah, it's all going to be a surprise. You have to make that decision. You're going to wait. You're going to take out a bigger loan. You're going to what? You're going to, but it's not a surprise.

[Amy]

I guess if it's that important to her, then yeah, she might be willing to throw downs for it and maybe she won't.

[Bobby Bones]

But I do think you, since there has been communication, you keep communicating about it and go, I know you want the ring. I want to look at it. I can't afford it right now. Here are the options. We wait longer. I save up to, I take out a loan. We're both going to pay that back.

[Eddie]

You make a good point there. Because she's gonna have to pay for it anyway if they take out a loan.

[Bobby Bones]

Three, if you want it now, if your parents or you can even do that, your parents want to chip in. I would love to take that. If you want to get married sooner than later because it's irresponsible otherwise to get that ring.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's a tough one.

[Amy]

It is. Because I do not ever want to be asked. You want to pitch in for your ring.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody does. I don't think there's a single person that wants to be asked that. And that's not My point or his point? It's like he's already in the situation where they're talking about it. So what does he do? And I think you just keep talking about it.

[Amy]

I think I've decided to. Eddie's question. I guess I would downgrade. Whatever. If I really wanted to get engaged ASAP and get married, then. Okay, whatever we can. Whatever you can afford at the time, let's do it. And then we upgrade later, if that's important.

[Eddie]

She wants that one.

[Amy]

I know, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I would just keep communicating because that. That barrier has already been broken. So have at it. Good luck. Let us know what happens there, Bones. We were in Las Vegas over The weekend for iHeartRadio music festival is a great time. I'm exhausted. I get so dehydrated. I was in the airport yesterday and leaving Vegas, that airport situation is the worst because it's a Sunday, it's in the morning, so everybody's trying to get out, and everybody's also exhausted and dehydrated. So it's just a mess. And you get there and there are lines and shout out. Because those big lines move relatively fast. But I got. I don't know, 10 minutes into the line, my nose started bleeding.

[Amy]

Oh. From the.

[Bobby Bones]

From the air. From just being in Vegas.

[Amy]

Dryness.

[Bobby Bones]

It sucked. It would not stop bleeding. So I take a toilet paper and I've had nosebleeds my whole life, and so I just cram it up my nose. And I saw a couple people that I knew while at the airport, and I. I didn't forget, but I just don't think about it. And they're looking at my nose and they want to tell me I have something in my nose. But then they want. Then they're wondering, do I know I got something on my nose? Yeah, it was a mess.

[Amy]

You just own it at that point.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a mess. But the festival was great. John Fogarty is the lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival. They were massive in the 60s and 70s. He's 80 years old and he's a legend, but he's also 80. But he went up and he sang like he was 30. It was crazy that an 80 year old could go that hard. Offspring. I was telling my wife last night, I was like, I watched the Offspring. She's like, I don't know who that is. And I was like, yeah, you wouldn't, you know, because she's what, 33? Yeah, something like that. She was like, yeah. And then I tried to sing her a couple songs. I Said you wouldn't know their early stuff. You gotta keep them separated. But you may know, like, their later stuff. That was it. Like all the girls say is pretty fly for a white guy. She's like, nah, and it sounds stupid. And I was like, okay, fair enough.

[Amy]

My niece is 21, and she loved everybody. Like, she thought, like, from the. Even the people she didn't know, like John Fogarty. She does not know who that is. It's great she stayed from start to finish.

[Bobby Bones]

She did, yeah. Yeah. It was a great show. Big thanks to Hyundai for sponsoring our house of Music, our 2025 iHeartradio Music Festival presented by Capital One. It was incredible. And get ready to relive the once in a lifetime moments starting October 2nd, only on Hulu. I'll tell you one other story. I go and I just wanted to prove to everybody that I'm not the luckiest person in the world. And so I go and I'm like, okay, I have 400 bucks. So I go to the craps table and I put 400 bucks down. I'm by myself. I really didn't see anybody unless we were doing shows the whole weekend. I was by myself the whole weekend. And so I go and I put the money down on the craps table and I win some. And I'm like, at $1,600.

[Amy]

So this was you trying to prove?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I was just documenting it to show.

[Eddie]

So what did it prove?

[Amy]

Proved that you won.

[Bobby Bones]

It proved that I won that one time. So the next day I go back and buy myself again, and I put 400 bucks in a slot machine, lose all 400 of it, gone.

[Amy]

Okay, so at this point, that's a slot machine.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. But luck's luck.

[Amy]

Your luck is over there at roulette.

[Bobby Bones]

At this point, I'm like, okay, so I was up 1200 at that point. So then 400. So I'm up 800 bucks. But all I have in my pocket is like $150, $160. I go back to the craps table, and I win, like, 2,200 bucks. And so I'm way up at this point. Now, here's where the luck separates itself and winning separates itself from just being lucky. I didn't go back the whole rest of the weekend. Why am I going to go back and lose it? Because if I'd have gone back, I would have lost it. No doubt. So that was me making the conscious decision to take the money that I had won and not gamble it back. Because that's how people lose money.

[Amy]

I'm sort of confused. So you. You came out ahead.

[Bobby Bones]

Of course.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

So you won because I saw people.

[Amy]

Leave Vegas in the.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they don't stop. Have had these guys.

[Amy]

Most people don't win anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Had these guys lose.

[Amy]

Yeah, everything.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy found money on the ground. Don't listen to them. They found me. I did.

[Eddie]

I found a hundred dollars. And then what did I do with it? I went to the roulette table, bet on red.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, doubled it up.

[Eddie]

No $100. $100 bill.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's what I'm saying. So there's luck everywhere.

[Eddie]

I was lucky.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just what you do with it.

[Amy]

So did you turn it. What'd you turn it into?

[Eddie]

200.

[Amy]

Sweet.

[Eddie]

And then I lost it.

[Bobby Bones]

See how he just quit? You'd have been, like, so lucky.

[Amy]

But you, like, won a lot.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

A lot.

[Amy]

Dude, I know you have to play a lot to win a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't play a lot.

[Eddie]

And lucky for you, too, you're smart, so you quit.

[Bobby Bones]

That's. I don't think that me being smart is lucky. Oh. I think that's going through a lot of crap and losing it all back and then deciding, hey, the best thing for me to do is just kind of to shut it down. But it was a great. It was a great Vegas iheart weekend. Just generally speaking, the show was awesome. And again, thanks to Hyundai for being a big part of it. If you go to the podcast today, which will be up, it's a backstage interview with Jelly Roll and a backstage interview with. With Bailey Zimmerman on the podcast feed. And yeah, my nose is doing pretty good. It's still a little dry. I had a little bleed this morning still. But, yeah, doing pretty good. This is an ad by BetterHelp.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group. Even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through. Clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs so planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big old mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone. Okay, so if you didn't know, Prime Big Deal Days is coming up soon. Specifically October 7th and 8th. And I know a certain couple of people who always enjoy Prime Big Deal Days because every year, they are all but guaranteed to get some big presents. And by people, I mean my dogs, Stanley and Eller. Now, if you love your dogs and you love to get your dog stuff, this is perfect for you. Even if you don't love dogs, there's just so much stuff. Because prime members get such good, crazy deals during Prime Big Deal Days. It is the perfect excuse to get your dogs, your cousins, your parents, your husband, something. I mean, we're talking about deals up to 40% off. My dogs are so different. But Amazon always has such a great selection of pet supplies that I know I can find something for both of them. Just so many deals, so many things. Whatever you have your eye on, whomever you want to spoil. If it's a canine or a human, you're probably gonna find it during Prime Big Deal Days. Prime Big Deal days coming soon. October 7th and 8th. If you missed it, Amy let her license expire. She has to go retake the driver's test to get her license back. She's currently driving illegally. I'm surprised you said that.

[Amy]

Well, I mean, what. But the whole. That's known from this whole segment?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

No, I guess I just don't have to verbalize it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm glad you. It's funny, but you could have been like, I Ubered and we knew you didn't. I hear you.

[Amy]

Imagine if I'm ubering everywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, here we go. A triangular red and white sign means what?

[Amy]

A try. Oh, a triangular red and white.

[Bobby Bones]

I have all the questions. I don't have the answers.

[Amy]

Like, a triangular yellow is warning hazard.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God. A triangular red and white sign.

[Amy]

A triangle, red and white.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Do you know the answer?

[Bobby Bones]

Red and white.

[Amy]

I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think that's do not enter. No, it's not. What is it, Mike? It is yield.

[Eddie]

It's just upside down.

[Amy]

Oh, you didn't say they're gonna take my license too.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna do this.

[Eddie]

Don't play this game.

[Bobby Bones]

Someone's gonna show up and take my license. Triangular red and white upside down triangle. I can't picture it in my head.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's just turn the triangle upside down and it says, yield on It.

[Bobby Bones]

A flashing red traffic light means what?

[Amy]

Stop. Like a stop sign and then turn.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Stop completely right and then proceed. Yes, I would think that's what that one is.

[Amy]

Or then go straight. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road mean?

[Amy]

It means solid. Is it yellow or white? Solid yellow means I gotta stay in my lane. I can't cross. Like in life has to be dotted.

[Eddie]

Stay in your lane.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Stay on my side of the street.

[Bobby Bones]

What does a solid yellow line on your side of the road mean?

[Amy]

Don't cross.

[Bobby Bones]

What is your answer?

[Amy]

Don't cross. Stay on your side of the lane.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I would think it means no passing. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like don't pass.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, no passing.

[Amy]

But that's the same thing. If you pass, you're leaving your side of the street, you're crossing.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. You know, fair enough.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Next up, what's the legal blood alcohol concentration limit for most adult drivers in the U. S?

[Amy]

I do not know, but I, I hear point zero eight a lot. Or zero point eight. Or would that be deadly? Zero eight or eight?

[Bobby Bones]

Zero point zero eight.

[Amy]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's the answer.

[Bobby Bones]

I, I believe so. I mean, that's what I would guess. 0.08. When approaching a school bus with flashing red lights, what do you do?

[Amy]

Stop and immediately until it goes away. I don't mess with that.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop and remain stopped until the lights on the bus stop flashing.

[Amy]

Nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's that one. If you miss your exit on the highway, I'm going to give you some options here. You should stop and back up carefully.

[Eddie]

Keep going. Could be that.

[Amy]

I'm not going to say that's never happened.

[Bobby Bones]

Make a U turn in the median, go to the next exit and turn around. Or pull onto the shoulder and reverse there.

[Amy]

Go to the next exit and turn around.

[Bobby Bones]

That's got to be all right.

[Eddie]

Yes, 100%.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, how about this one? When parallel parking, your vehicle's wheels should be within how many inches of the curb?

[Amy]

What?

[Eddie]

Like that's tough.

[Amy]

Like as close as possible without damaging the rims.

[Bobby Bones]

Or just like an itty bitty scratch when you feel it. Anybody scratch. You know, you're just close enough.

[Amy]

Yeah, I've never. I didn't know there was a, A measurement, but.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me give you some options.

[Amy]

Sure, I take options.

[Bobby Bones]

When parallel parking, your vehicle's wheel should be within how many inches of the curb? A, 6 inches, B, 12 inches, C, 18 inches, or D 24 inches?

[Amy]

6 inches.

[Bobby Bones]

It's B 12 inches a foot.

[Amy]

But it could be 12.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you know what I mean.

[Amy]

It could be 6.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what? If you're 6, you get bonus points.

[Amy]

If you're 6, you are skilled and I am a talented parallel parker.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll give you one more. If you are involved in a minor collision with a parked car, this is for you specifically. And you cannot find the owner, what do you do?

[Amy]

You leave a note or wait.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I give you the options?

[Amy]

Yes, please.

[Bobby Bones]

A drive away. If the damage is small, wait for the owner to return, call your insurance only and let them know. Or leave a note with your contact information.

[Amy]

I'm gonna say sometimes people don't have the time to wait for the owner to return. So leave a note with your information.

[Bobby Bones]

That's correct.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You want one more?

[Amy]

Yes. I feel pretty good.

[Bobby Bones]

The two second rule. The two second rule is used for A, timing yellow lights, B, parking on a hill, C, avoiding tailgating tickets, or D, keeping enough. Following distance.

[Amy]

Well, following distance and tailgating, same thing, right? I'm confused by that. Is, do you. Do they hand out tailgating tickets?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. You can get a tailgating ticket. I don't know.

[Amy]

So it must be D. It helps, you know, when you're falling too close.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I'll give you one more because this is a good one.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

When driving in heavy rain and your car begins to hydroplane, do you A, accelerate slightly, B, take your foot off the gas and steer straight, C, turn sharply to regain control, or D, brake hard immediately.

[Amy]

Oh, no, don't break hard immediately. Let's eliminate that one.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

Don't accelerate. That was the first one, right? That'd be bad, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm asking you.

[Amy]

Yeah. And then so the. The middle two.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have turn sharply to regain control or take your foot off the gas and steer straight.

[Amy]

Take your foot off the gas.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you should pass the test. These are the jobs. Just eliminate the idiot ones.

[Eddie]

Yeah, you're good.

[Bobby Bones]

You're good. You know, give her a license, bring her one in, we'll write you one out. And if they stop you, just show them this. Okay, it's time for the good news with Bobby.

[Lunchbox]

Tell me something good.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy, Kevin Ryder, is jogging, and he's jogging at a. You know, an active part of the day on the sidewalk. And as he's running, he collapses. And so there are people around and they see him collapse and they're surrounding him. But driving by around that time was an ICU nurse and Grady was his name. I think nurse. I think woman. That's unfair to Me. And I don't like me for that. I almost said her, but Grady was driving by and sees everybody surrounding the person. So he like, hey, stop the car. Let me see what's up. And he goes over, and so they jump on him and give him CPR for 10 minutes. Whoa.

[Eddie]

10 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

Until the first responders were able to show up, got him to the hospital. He ended up living. So big shout out to him for stopping. He didn't even know what it was. He just saw people surrounding something, and they were like, let's stop and see what this is. Just in case. Turns out just in case was somebody was in a situation that he could help. And then they stayed for 10 minutes and gave CPR. Crazy. That's from KCTV5. And big shout out to Grady, the ICU nurse. It also says his friend and the friend help, but they don't put the friend's name in there.

[Eddie]

Oh. They just get ready to go.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah. There you go. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. Now it's time for Masterpiece Theater, where Raymundo and I will act out three famous movie scenes. Can you guess the movie? Amy, Eddie, Lunchbox. Write your answers down. Ray, are you ready? Yep. My acting partner. And action. I want to make sure you're ready, brother. Here it is. Show me the money. Oh, show me the money. Show me the money. Doesn't it make you feel good to say that? Say it with me one time. Show you the money. No, no, no, no. You can do better than that. I want you to say it. Say it with meaning. Show you the money. No, no, no. Not show you. Show me the money. Show me the money. Louder. Show me the money. Yell, show me the money. Scene.

[Eddie]

It's pretty good, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Right.

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, this is the easy one. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Jerry Maguire.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy.

[Amy]

Jerry Maguire.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

Jerry Maguire.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, everybody's good. Next one up. This is the medium one. Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just. Just have fun. I mean, if you were having fun, you'd have caught the ball. You ever have a paper route? I helped a guy once. Okay, well, chuck it like he throwed the paper. When your arm gets here, just let it go. Just let it go. It's that easy. How do I catch it? Just stand out there and stick your glove in the air. I'll take care of it. Scene.

[Amy]

I'm in.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Eddie]

I'm in. Eddie, I have the sandlot.

[Amy]

Amy, sandlot.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

The sand lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job. Everybody's still in. This one's a little harder. Father. You have forgotten me. No. How could I? You have forgotten who you are and so have forgotten me. Look inside yourself. You are more than what you've become. How can I go back? I'm not who I used to be. Remember who you are. You're my son, the one true king. Remember who you are. No, please don't leave me. Remember, Father. Remember.

[Lunchbox]

Don't leave me.

[Bobby Bones]

Remember.

[Eddie]

That's great.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I know the movie.

[Eddie]

But that's great.

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, you think you don't know them?

[Eddie]

No, I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

But you thought that you enjoyed the acting.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Amy]

Father. Wait. Remember?

[Lunchbox]

You guys nailed it.

[Amy]

Oh, my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Three seconds.

[Eddie]

Amen.

[Amy]

Amen.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy.

[Amy]

Thor.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

Lord of the Rings.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Lunchbox is gonna win.

[Lunchbox]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Because you both missed it. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

That is the Lion King.

[Bobby Bones]

No. That is correct.

[Amy]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

We didn't. What?

[Amy]

You didn't sound like a lion.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Lunchbox]

They sounded just like it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, they did pretty good.

[Amy]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

They crushed that. You out. It's Mufasa's ghost.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You have forgotten me. Wow. Big winner. Lunchbox.

[Jelly Roll]

Hit that.

[Bobby Bones]

So.

[Lunchbox]

And they stay there.

[Bobby Bones]

And they stay there. And for Lunchbox only, we will do one more. Ray and I. Oh, yes. He's not a Space Ranger. He doesn't fight evil or shoot lasers. Or fly. Excuse me. What? What? What? These are plastic. You can't fly. They're terrillium carbonic alloy. And I can fly. No, you. No, you can't. Yes, I can. Can't. Can. Can't. Can't. I tell you. I tell you, I would fly around this room with my eyes closed. Okay. Prove it. All right, then. I will. Stand back, everyone. Lunchbox Man.

[Lunchbox]

I. I think my ear headphones cut out. We'll just stick with the Lion King on the last one. But I'll just guess something for fun.

[Eddie]

Wait, are you joking?

[Lunchbox]

Yes, Eddie. I had no idea what it was, so I was trying to act like I. I didn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't. I didn't get it either. Okay, what's your. What's your guess?

[Lunchbox]

I'll go with step brothers.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah, that's Toy Story.

[Eddie]

That was Buzz Lightyear, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. We'll do one more. This is for all you guys. No. I say we stay here, we hunt for jobs, and we keep saving our money. For the worm store. I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick and tired of running from creditors. You know what I'm sick and tired of? Sick and tired of having to eek my way through life. I'm sick and tired of being a nobody. But most of all, I'm sick and tired of having nobody. Okay, Aspen it is. You'd better not be fooling. Okay, okay, okay. Just let it out. Have a good cry. Come on. Okay, okay, okay. That's enough. That's enough. See? Well done.

[Lunchbox]

Well done.

[Amy]

Yeah, really good.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie, do you not have it? I have it.

[Eddie]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, this is for fun. What do you have?

[Eddie]

Dumb and Dumber Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

The champ has Dumb and Dumber Amy.

[Amy]

Oh, dang. Ace Venture, a pet detective.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang. Yeah, Jim Carrey. But yeah. Yeah, Lunchbox is a winner. Nice job. That is masterpiece theater. Let's get an update from Lunchbox about Price is Right. Because he told us last week he bought tickets. He was ready to go. Turns out he bought them for the wrong month. So that means somebody that was waiting for tickets in the standby got tickets. Tickets this last week because Lunchbox bought them and then he couldn't go. Oh, so you made someone's dream come true Accidentally.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. I mean, that's what I do is I'm out here making dreams come true. They showed up in LA without tickets. Just with the hope and prayer getting on and what do you know? September 17th. The wrong day of the week. The wrong day of the month that I was supposed to be there. So they got in to see. Come on now.

[Bobby Bones]

You're so thoughtful, man. Lunchbox bought tickets for the wrong day, I guess Got them. You don't buy them?

[Lunchbox]

No, you don't buy them. You just sign up online, dude, and you just. Boom. And I was like. I was just excited. I was scrolling down, I saw the 17th and I boom. I hit it.

[Bobby Bones]

So now what's happened? Have you got tickets for the real date?

[Lunchbox]

Well, guys, I got an update. I said, you know what? I'm gonna make the price and prices right. Be sick of me. They are gonna be so tired of my face, they're gonna be forced to call my name to come on down. They put out tickets for October, and I got tickets for October 15th. I got tickets for October 16th. I got tickets for October 17th. We're going back to. Back to back.

[Bobby Bones]

Jack, I feel like you're about to have a stroke. Yeah, yeah. Like. Or a heart attack or Something.

[Lunchbox]

No, I'm bringing the energy. This is the energy I'm gonna bring to the Price is Right. This is how I'm gonna be when I get there.

[Eddie]

And did he get all those dates approved?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Is he okay to have off work all those days? Oh, yeah. Oh, oh, hold on. Let's talk with Scuba. What's that, Scuba?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, man. It's fine if he goes, man. It's good for the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang.

[Lunchbox]

I mean, we can connect him with a studio in la. He can go there then. The Price is Right. This is national exposure.

[Eddie]

Scuba sounds sick.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Scuba has some kind of weird cold or something.

[Eddie]

Sinus infection.

[Lunchbox]

So I'm just doing nights, you know, I'm doing my afternoon show on the Rock. My voice is just a little. It goes, comes and goes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. I'll need to talk to the real Scuba to see if he has granted permission for Lunchbox to be gone all those days. Three days. That's. It's a pretty bad precedent.

[Lunchbox]

It's not that bad of a precedent.

[Bobby Bones]

What? What's that, Scuba?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I just think that, you know, it's smart that if he's going to be out there, he might as well. If he doesn't get on the 15th, he should try the 16th. If he doesn't get on, then the 17th, it'd be kind of a waste if we just sent him for one day, wouldn't it? I agree with you, Scuba. Great call.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

[Lunchbox]

Scuba. That is so smart, dude. Like, I'm flying all the way to la. Why would I just leave after one day? You're right, Scoob.

[Jelly Roll]

I agree.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. Okay. Yeah, I'll have talk. But that's good that you have real tickets now. I don't really know. I don't know how they don't let him on. I don't know how they don't let him on.

[Amy]

So if he gets on the 15th, does he come home after that?

[Bobby Bones]

Let's ask Scuba.

[Lunchbox]

No, I mean, there's other, like, let's Make a Deal is out there, and there's other ones that have daily.

[Bobby Bones]

You're getting back to your own voice. You can't. There's no.

[Lunchbox]

No tapings. And we. We would probably send them to those.

[Bobby Bones]

No. You sound like you again.

[Lunchbox]

Scuba.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba.

[Lunchbox]

That's a good idea, man.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's just you talking with you right now.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so possibly Lunchbox could be on prices, right the 15th, the 16th to the 17th. I need to see if we can give you three days off. For that though, because this is all a him. This is all like a him fun trip. This is not a work trip.

[Lunchbox]

I disagree.

[Eddie]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no.

[Lunchbox]

This is me doing what you could if.

[Bobby Bones]

No, if you could guarantee you were going to get on the show. That's true. Otherwise you're just like going to have fun. Would you not agree with that?

[Lunchbox]

I don't think it's fun standing in line for hours.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, you do. You know, you're looking forward to standing in line for hours trying to impress the producers.

[Lunchbox]

You're exactly right. I'm thinking about, man, I gotta put on a show while I'm in line. I gotta be there dancing in the street.

[Eddie]

Does that mean three days of him in the, in the studio audience too? Does he get in automatically?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no way he doesn't get on the show. Like I would bet money he's gonna get on because somehow this is going to get back to the producers anyway of us talking about it doing a bit for like a month. We have a pretty large platform also. He's got a lot of energy. I, I don't know how he doesn't get on. That doesn't mean he gets on to play a game. It just means he gets to be in the. Yeah, he goes in the panel. That gets to be. I get to bid $121. Drew that type person. Yeah. Okay. I'll talk to Scuba when he for real gets back. I forgot, he's not in today. But the ghost of Scuba apparently is.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, he is good to go, man. I. I am good. I wrote it down. I put it on the calendar.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think he should have extra days off too?

[Lunchbox]

That wouldn't be bad. It would be good for his mental well being. You know, the stress of, you know, learning the bids. He's gonna have to watch a lot of prices right between now and then.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I say this? Lunchbox kind of talks like Foghorn Leghorn. Foghorn Leghorn would be like, I was gonna eat me a cookie. A cookie. Cookie, cookie, cracker. And lunchbox is like for his mental well being. Well being. Okay. Well, I'm glad you have tickets though. Good job.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to assume that everybody messages their friends. I'm also going to assume that sometimes you run into issues when messaging, especially during group chats. It is really important that my digital messaging is clear. No mistakes. It's also important when I send messages that they send quickly and that I get responses quickly. WhatsApp can help with all that. First, you can message privately with everyone in a group, even if you're using totally different phones. Sent a message too fast and you regret it? No problem. Just edit it. And when the chat gets a little too intense, you can switch to a group video call and actually talk it out. Photos and videos come through clear messages get delivered without gaps or delays. Plus, WhatsApp has so many great features like polls, pinned messages, even event invites with RSVPs. So planning stuff just doesn't turn into a big old mess. It just makes a lot of sense. It's time for WhatsApp message privately with everyone okay, so if you didn't know, Prime Big Deal Days is coming up soon. Specifically October 7th and 8th. And I know a certain couple of people who always enjoy Prime Big Deal Days because every year they are all but guaranteed to get some big presents. And by people I mean my dogs Stanley and Eller. Now if you love your dogs and you love to get your dog stuff, this is perfect for you. Even if you don't love dogs, there's just so much stuff. Because prime members get such good crazy deals during Prime Big Deal Days. It is the perfect excuse to get your dogs, your cousins, your parents, your husband, something. I mean we're talking about deals up to 40% off. My dogs are so different, but Amazon always has such a great selection of pet supplies that I know I can find something for both of them. Just so many deals, so many things. Whatever you have your eye on, whomever you want to spoil. If it's a canine or a human, you're probably going to find it during Prime Big Deal Days. Prime Big Deal days coming soon October.

[Bobby Bones]

Talk to Emma Slater, who's one of the pros on Dancing with the Stars and her partner is comedian Andy Richter. They had the first episode last week, the second episode will be tomorrow night. And so I talked to her about the backlash that she got online because she was paired with Andy because I think people wanted her to have a chance. She had two older partners and so we talk about that. We talk about behind the scenes of Dancing with the Stars. It's like what people are saying while they're actually dancing on the floor on tv. And again, check it out tomorrow night. Here is pro dancer from Dancing with the Stars, Emma Slater. Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Producer Eddie]

Emma Slater.

[Bobby Bones]

You saw the comments about how people were upset that you were teamed with Andy. I love Andy Richter. I'm a massive fan. What are your thoughts on how people are reacting to you being teamed with Andy?

[Emma Slater]

I saw the comments and I thought, my first thought was, ah, I really hope that Andy isn't disheartened by reading this because for me, I think Andy is the best partner for me, I truly do. I have got to that point in my life. And also I've done the show now for 19 seasons. I know where my expertise are and I know what I love to do, and I really love to see the improvement and the growth in my partners. And that's what I'm probably best at. I'm probably best at bringing out people that are not dancers that are potentially even nervous to do the show and to give them the best possible experience. And trust me, all the pros give their partners and such an incredible spot experience and the best one that they could possibly do. But Andy, to me, is the best partner. I love being partnered with the funny guys. I love being partnered with the personalities. I love being partnered with the people that have this special quality about them. And. And so I'm thrilled, and I always was thrilled that I had Andy as a partner.

[Bobby Bones]

People will wonder what you're saying to your partner while you're dancing. What are you saying to your partner while you're dancing on television?

[Emma Slater]

Well, everything I'm saying, the whole choreography. So we just. Andy and I just did our wide shot. And you remember that, Bob, that part in the week where you get that wide angle video of your entire dance to music so that the directors can map out all the cameras. So we just did our video where we did the dance to music, and you can hear the music, but you can hear me screaming on top of the music for the most part. And it'll be things like twinkle toes at one point because it gives him the visual of, like, fast feet. I say, tall hand on head. I'll say quick. I'll say, have fun. Because there's a moment where I asked him, I said, what does this step? How do you become more free in this step? And he says, oh, it makes me think of having fun. So every time we get to that step, I say, have fun. And he does it like he really comes alive. So I need to keep giving him and usually all my partners a lot of structure during the show, during the dance by, you know, vocal cues. And it helps them. If I ever really stop that, it becomes a bit of a problem. I've tried a couple of times, but it's much better for them when they have kind of all angles, like, support, at least a lot of my partners.

[Bobby Bones]

To hear that full episode, it's like 40 minutes long. Go search for the Bobby cast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcast. It's time for the good news with.

[Producer Eddie]

Producer Eddie.

[Eddie]

Sean Davis lives In Bernie, Texas. And he was just pulling over to get some gas. He's. He's pumping gas and as he's leaving, he sees this piece of trash on the ground. He's like, that looks like trash, but it also doesn't look like trash. Let me check it out. It turns out it's an envelope full of cash. Had tire marks all over it. He said twenty dollar bill after $20 bill and a cashier's check. So he took a picture of the check, put it on social media. Does anyone know who this person is? They all responded, yeah, that's so. And so she owns the local daycare. Then he goes to the daycare, gives her cash. She is completely excited that her money was found because she had lost it.

[Bobby Bones]

Wonder what it was for.

[Amy]

Probably.

[Eddie]

They don't say probably for if she.

[Bobby Bones]

Like owns the daycare deposit and there's a cashier's check. So it's got to be. Yeah. Not like drugs or anything. I don't know, man.

[Amy]

She was just excited to get it back.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she was like relieved. I think relieved would be the word. Yeah. Returned it.

[Eddie]

Like who returned returns cash? And to go the extra mile to take a picture and be like, does anyone know? I'll be honest. I wouldn't do. I wouldn't do all that.

[Amy]

Feel like Bernie.

[Bobby Bones]

There was no need for that honesty right now. We just could have enjoyed this.

[Eddie]

But I would take it to the convenience store and be like, hey man, you might want to hold this in case somebody comes.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you have turned it all in with all the cash?

[Eddie]

Yes, that 100. But social media, I'm not taking a picture. Does anyone know who that is?

[Bobby Bones]

But it's not about the cat. You wouldn't say how much cash is in it?

[Eddie]

No chance. Yeah, because then everyone's going to claim it.

[Bobby Bones]

It like I would, right?

[Eddie]

I guess I'd be on the. Come on the show and be like, I found cash. That'd be the first thing I would do.

[Bobby Bones]

That'd be a good bit. Hey, do that. Do that as a bet. If you find cash.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good.

[Amy]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear any emuls box. Morgan. True scene is trying to put you through m riding this wig's next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby now. Time for the morning corny. The morning corny why did the man.

[Amy]

With amnesia go for a run?

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Amy]

To jog his memory.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning. Corny Bobby Bone Show. Bonehead story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from Alexandria, Virginia. The CEO of Redevelopment and Housing for the entire city decided, you know, I've been putting people in new homes. I'm helping people get back on their feet. I should get a new home myself. So she assigned one of these free homes to herself and moved on in.

[Amy]

Oh, that's one way to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

It's a bonus. Yeah, she might have a bonus structure in her own mind for what she was doing.

[Eddie]

It's kind of tempting, too, you know? Like, you're building houses for everyone else.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, if you're cooking burgers, get a burger for yourself. You get a free burger. That's what I hear. You're back there all day slaving around in the kitchen. Have a burger.

[Amy]

Yeah, four dollar burger. Same thing as a house.

[Lunchbox]

Have a house.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna play a couple interviews from this past weekend. It was me with Jelly Roll and me with Bailey Zimmerman, and they're just a few minutes each, but they're both pretty fun. And they were right before they went on stage in Vegas at the iHeartRadio music festival. So we're gonna go one to the other. So first me and Jelly Roll, then me and Bailey Zimmerman. Here you go. Hey, guys, Bobby Bones here with Jelly Roll. Good to see you, buddy.

[Jelly Roll]

Good to be seen.

[Bobby Bones]

You look great.

[Jelly Roll]

You know what they say in the South. Better to be seen than viewed.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm from the South. I've never heard that.

[Jelly Roll]

You've never heard?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I've never.

[Jelly Roll]

Dude, that's like one of the most famous sayings ever where I'm from.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, like dead?

[Jelly Roll]

Yeah, like, better to be seen than viewed.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Okay. Okay.

[Jelly Roll]

But a Dutch.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Use the hashtag. I Heart Festival 2025 if you're listening. You got a big show tonight. However, we were just talking about on my show, you meeting the Pope.

[Jelly Roll]

I did meet the Pope.

[Bobby Bones]

What do they say to you before that meeting? Like, do they. Do they warm you up? Like, don't, like, grab him. Don't. Don't, like, rub his head. Like, this ain't anything.

[Jelly Roll]

I could not believe how little instruction they gave him. So when he walked up, it made me even more nervous. I was like, this a complete free for all. Can I ask anything?

[Bobby Bones]

Was it weird to see him in Person.

[Jelly Roll]

It was so weird to see him in person, dude. It's like, it's the pope. And listen, he comes in mighty popish. Like, when he comes in, it's a lot of poping happening. You know what I'm saying? The room feels. It's different, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

So you performed in Vatican City. How did that all come about?

[Jelly Roll]

We just got the call from Adam Blackstone, and then we're producing and said, hey, we're trying to. Pharrell, too, has been a good friend. I love you, Pharrell. Thank you for everything. And they just said, hey, we have this idea to try to bring grace to the world. We think it's a time to where music will bring people together. We want to bring a lot of different kind of stuff together and bring a little glory. So I said, I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you get a little nervous before that performance?

[Jelly Roll]

I get nervous before every performance. So before that one, I had diarrhea.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jelly Roll]

If that. If that's a scale of how bad nerves were, if I'm normally just a little nervous, imagine that one. I was like, dude, it was bad. It was, like, uncorked.

[Bobby Bones]

That's an odd scale. That's a high scale.

[Jelly Roll]

But people will relate. They'll be like, yeah, I've had diarrhea nervous before, too.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, before you do a show, a big show, it could be any show. Like, what do you enjoy listening to? What gets you in the zone?

[Jelly Roll]

Can't believe we're talking about poop.

[Bobby Bones]

You talked about. Not we. Not we. You. You got a mouse in your pocket. You ever heard that in the south? Yeah, exactly.

[Jelly Roll]

I have heard that. You know what I listen to now before, and we sing it every time we walk to the stage is oh, happy day. We watched Sister X on the bus, like, a few months ago and remembered how incredible that moment was. So now you'll see us walking down the hallway going, oh, happy day oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Happy day oh, happy day When Jesus walked When Jesus was When Jesus was oh, when Jesus was He washed my sins away oh, happy day There we go. Thank you, everybody.

[Jelly Roll]

See the way you went high and I went low like we practiced?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Okay. We did diarrhea and sister act. This is a new here.

[Jelly Roll]

Yeah, this is jelly roll Bobby Bones interview, baby.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you believe a song can change someone's perspective or even their life? Like, have you witnessed that?

[Jelly Roll]

Oh, it happened to me. The first time I got to talk about this was on y' all show was I got into music because of what music did for me, it was like I. I've had songs transform me right in my spot, you know, that'll change the way I've looked at life forever. Hearing them once.

[Bobby Bones]

I love you. A lot of people love you. You're creating love out there on stage every single night. We're looking forward to tonight. Jelly roll, Everybody. Tonight, our IHeartRadio music festival.

[Amy]

Good to see Mr. Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, it's Bobby Bones here with Bailey Zimmerman. How you feeling?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Oh, unbelievable. Let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

I was asking you. You have a. You're going on late later tonight. Yeah, it's a late. And also, we're from, like, two hours back. It's really late for us right now. Oh, yeah. No. Body clock is struggling, but we're rock stars, baby. You're a rock star. I'm older. Okay, I got a couple questions here. Now, how do you tell stories. How do you tell love stories through your music? Because you have some really banger love songs.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Well, I've been in love before. When you know what that feeling feels like, you can. I've really been able to, like, write songs about that in a lot of different ways. It was as well. So it's from the heart. Like, real emotion.

[Bobby Bones]

As long as it's real.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Yeah, real.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever feel super vulnerable? Like, I don't know if I should be sharing this?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Yeah, sometimes. Yeah, I'll be writing something. I'm like, whoa, am I being, like, too much right now? But I think that's what music is all about, is being, like, totally out there, because you never know who's going to relate to that vulnerable feeling, you know? So that's what music's all for.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So we're big audible fans here. Audible has. Speaking of love, like, if you're love, love, or romance, do you have a favorite love song that's not yours, like, one that you covered or one you just like listening to?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

I would say Ed Sheeran. Is it called perfect?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Is it called perfect? Ed Sheeran's perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good, darling. You look perfect tonight. Pretty good.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's good.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm a little moved there. That was good. You just announced your different night, same rodeo tour. Oh, you're still gonna be flying. You can do the thing where you jump up on stage.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Oh, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because what he does. For those that don't know, if you haven't been to a Bailey show or you haven't seen Bailey Zimmerman, like, online, he shoots up at the beginning, and it Throws him into the air. And how he doesn't rip all the ligaments out of his legs, I don't know. But you're gonna keep doing it?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Oh, yeah. Have to. It's like the funnest part of the show for me.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you, like, load up and embrace yourself?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

I have this thing where I try to, like, beat the record. Like, how high can I get this thing to launch me?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that doesn't feel like a safe record to Chase. Like, eventually that's not gonna end well.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

We made it through this year somehow. So let's go.

[Bobby Bones]

What's been your biggest pinch me moment so far?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Hands down, when Morgan Wallen called me to go on the Morgan Wallen tour. That was crazy.

[Hyundai Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then what about all these collabs that you're getting into, dude, how'd you end up with let's do, for example, because I know you're going to be with Diplo in a bit. How did that come together?

[Bailey Zimmerman]

Diplo showed up at my house.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a real story.

[Bailey Zimmerman]

That's a real story. Somebody called me like five minutes before. They're like, hey, Diplo is on the way to your house. Can you open up the gate? And I was like, yeah, sure. And then I walked outside and he was already walking up and he's like, hey, dude, can I show you a song? And I was like, yeah. And then now we're here performing that song.
