Come on bobby transmitting across america.
Hope you had a great weekend welcome to monday show more in a studio morning bones we're basically what two weeks and three days from christmas oh wow that's crazy that is so i've put together my mount rushmore of christmas movies for me four ready ready number one the santa claus with tim allen i don't think there's ever ever been a better santa claus and then also that song that was also on home alone i'm dreaming of a white christmas that's a good one the drifter yeah so the santa claus one with tim allen number one on mount mount rushmore number two elf and i hadn't really seen elf until the last few years there's a tradition at my wife's family my in laws house that as a kid i guess they watched that every christmas eve and so every christmas eve we watch it again and it's good i'd not seen it until like four or five years ago so i got elephant number two i'm a mount rushmore number three muppet christmas carol now i start to get a little loose with these movies because i didn't watch a lot of christmas movies growing up but i did watch them up christmas carol and that's good did you know jim henson died in the production of that movie like the pre production of it whoa and then number four gremlins.
Eddie
Christmas.
Bobby Bones
Movie yeah at christmas in it countless.
Eddie
Happens during christmas that's weird you don't.
Amy
Feel that way about home alone oh.
Bobby Bones
Yeah it's true because home alone can.
Amy
Be played anytime so could gremlins i.
Bobby Bones
Don'T know nothing says christmas and chestnuts over roasting fire like gremlins okay so yeah gremlins is considered a christmas movie because the story is set during the holiday season featuring a christmas present as the catalyst for the whole plot of it incorporating elements like oh that makes sense got it as a christmas present.
Eddie
Yeah it was all about a christmas present got it so but you can.
Amy
Make it all about a birthday present.
Bobby Bones
But it wasn't and home alone was like that robbery could happen any time of the year that whole movie's about him being home alone this is about christmas and they got some animals i.
Eddie
Kind of see what he's saying amy.
Bobby Bones
But my whole point of this too is i've not seen many christmas movies and those are my mount rushmore christmas movies santa claus elf a muppet christmas carol and gremlins mount rushmore that up amy give me yours elf you put.
Amy
It number one yeah i love elf.
Eddie
Home alone is that just a spy.
Amy
Bottle it is no it's not i've always had it as a top christmas movie it probably moved up on the list because how many do you want me to pick four.
What'S the one eddie is it white christmas or miracle on thirty fourth well which one is it where there's the money are they.
Bobby Bones
Black and white and the little girl.
Eddie
And the bell oh that's it's a.
Amy
Wonderful life angel gets its wings should.
Bobby Bones
You mount rushmore that if you don't even know what it is i just get on confused did you mean to say gremlins i didn't okay got it i thought maybe you're gonna want to.
Amy
Take gremlins instead no so which one.
Eddie
Is it it's a wonderful life it's.
Amy
A wonderful life that and i only watched that recently because eddie made us i think phenomenal dude it was so.
Bobby Bones
Good it doesn't hold up right but it's just magical because it was made back then and we like tradition oh.
Eddie
It'S just so good and i'm shocked that it's not on your mount rushmore.
Bobby Bones
I never even seen it i don't watch that crap the only thing i ever watched black and white was andy griffith show and if arkansas keith was watching gunsmoke in the black and white days i'd watch a little bit of that otherwise i don't watch anything black.
Amy
And white o and the last one holiday harmony oh you have to throw.
Bobby Bones
That in the movie with you in.
Amy
It you have to what.
Eddie
Stop i.
Amy
Got to be in a christmas movie what do you want me to say any anything from hallmark you don't have.
Bobby Bones
Another favorite though like a real favorite.
Amy
I mean no like scrooged no with.
Lunchbox
Bill murray that's a good one oh.
Amy
I guess like national lampoons those are funny oh christmas vacation vacation so fine i'll do that if you want to.
Bobby Bones
No no you can do your own that's up now too you still getting.
Amy
Checks that yeah i get royalty checks sometimes they're seventy five cents sometimes they're forty seven.
One time it said because of a foreign screening so i don't know what country was maybe had just gotten it or something i got seventy.
Eddie
Five merry christmas wait that means amy's international yeah she's internationally famous yeah yeah.
Amy
I wonder if they dubbed us dubbed our voiceover you know.
Bobby Bones
And if you guys want to see the movie that amy's in holiday harmony it is on hbo max all right what do you know about blake shelton and gwen stefani.
Amy
Breaking up oh well i saw that maybe there was some rumors they were having trouble but they have their holidays planned out together yeah it seems like.
Bobby Bones
It'S not true yeah i just don't.
Amy
Know if you knew anything that's all.
Bobby Bones
That'S all i've heard gwen stefani revealed her and husband blake shelton which i never know if they're married or not like i know they are i guess but they weren't forever and then they just kind of slid one in on.
Eddie
Us so they are married yeah they're.
Bobby Bones
Married it's kind of like reba and her dude are they married that's a.
Amy
Good question if they're not yet they're getting married engaged no she interrupted somebody.
Bobby Bones
On a talk show being like we're not married yet got it i feel the same way that's like kind of you got something and we just feel like i don't know after you're like old enough you're just married i guess i don't know i guess they're fine gwen and blake shelton blake and i we just bounce back and forth between oklahoma constantly this december we're going back there and then we're going to bounce back to la she's older than him by six years seven years huh page six with that story that's the first one the second one i had was megan maroney did you see who she.
Amy
Was with no glen powell that one i missed oh really i thought that he was hanging out with the girl from landman that's what i saw michelle.
Bobby Bones
Randolph who cares like you can hang out with a lot of people oh they showed her tweet from it's probably two years ago there was like glen powell if you're out there call me she wrote that this is way before she blue blew up and then there was a picture of them together at dinner in la and i was like that's what i'm talking about megan maroney like manifest that crap but it's not official right nothing's official but they were together yeah it doesn't i mean what's official even mean like dating but the.
Eddie
Other thing's unofficial oh hanging out with the other girl yeah oh but they.
Amy
Were dancing okay well they were eating.
Bobby Bones
What'S more intimate eating or dancing i.
Amy
Don'T know it depends that's a toss.
Bobby Bones
Up that's right so yeah i like that one i don't know glenn powell obviously but our buddy george burge the artist they were really great friends george burch was glenn powell's like big brother like fraternity big brother yeah yeah yeah whatever that means i wasn't in a.
Amy
Frat yeah it's just when you join but like you're assigned yeah they were.
Bobby Bones
Assigned it wasn't like he's just an older class george burch was literally glen powell's one on one big brother that's crazy so and he says that glenn powell is awesome so yeah good for you megan maroney manifest that crap did you happen to see any clips of the zak brown sphere show.
Oh my gosh i don't i like zach brown band music i like zach it's bizarre and again i only saw some of.
Amy
The oh is he taking you on.
Bobby Bones
A journey it's yeah into hell it looks like it's so it's so many like demonic what it's crazy like i just don't understand not even about zach brown band i don't fall in love with like skull imagery with like i don't like those colors it's like a lot of like demonic now i'm not even saying devil worshiping because that's that's where people are going wait so it's.
Amy
Not red because red's your favorite color.
Bobby Bones
I think brown hell red cold dark it's bizarre it started popping up i sent it to eddie i was like and he's wearing like a bone crown.
Eddie
He'S got like bone jewelry on and.
Bobby Bones
That'S only one song like i came for chicken fried i think he did.
Eddie
Play chicken fried eventually okay so the.
Amy
Title of the show is love and.
Bobby Bones
Fear well there's a lot of fear from the clips that i saw more.
Amy
Fear than love and i know they.
Bobby Bones
Tried to make a big art statement and i'm sure it's great but man he was shirtless right only in the video i think he had on like a fred flintstone wardrobe in that clip.
Eddie
I sent you look like with the.
Bobby Bones
Bones yes amy i can send you.
Amy
A clip yeah i mean i'm looking at images so i guess i would need to see a clip so i could experience like because yeah right now i'm not really feeling like toes in the water i want you to live.
Bobby Bones
Clip this okay pull it up i'm going to text it to you okay i just sent you a tweet wait.
Amy
Am i gonna have to like go.
Bobby Bones
To twitter no it's not a twitter it's a tiktok committee tease volume up.
Amy
Your phone oh my i'm scared.
Okay it looks like a scene from avatar.
Eddie
Kinda the lightning comes down.
Bobby Bones
Wait exactly this is interesting you're now in hell.
Amy
That'S what it looks like i don't understand the crown on his head yeah like he looks like a yeah i don't know the art behind this he.
Bobby Bones
Was fred flintstone at the prom back.
Amy
In the day but it seems very what are the like avengers like he's in a superhero movie meets avatar comes.
Eddie
To life dude you're right if like you were there watching you expect chicken fry you see that you're like what.
Bobby Bones
Is happening and they played chicken fried i saw a clip of and they played i got my toes and there's water up on the sphere thing but it's bizarre and he's a very artistic guy like not just about playing songs like all but i just never was drawn to that that imagery yeah i.
Amy
Guess i i'm curious now like the the meaning behind the art like what.
Bobby Bones
There'S one thing deeper meaning he's fighting brock lesnar on the screen behind him they're like fighting each other who's that he's a ufc and wrestler guy okay big dude i don't know you just have to watch clips i was taken aback i sent it to eddie and i was like what's happening and then my wife sent it to me i.
Eddie
Was like what's happening and then after i watched it i got a bunch.
Bobby Bones
Of stuff me too i watched the whole show basically on my phone i.
Amy
Mean maybe there's somebody that we know that's like or somebody that's actually gone and like maybe you just be there to experience it i saw it i.
Bobby Bones
Watched it on tv like what's the.
Eddie
Transition from toes to that that's kind of what i'm he had like four.
Bobby Bones
Wardrobe changes too he's going full reba yeah yeah again i'm sure it's a great show but from what i saw it was definitely not what i would have expected going into it yeah so okay so it gets dark at like four o' clock now and so if i'm taking stanley our bulldog out because he has this tendency to dive bomb into poop it's the most annoying thing because if he does it then i gotta take him in and clean him up and so i'll have to go walk with him and he's not super fast because he's a big fat bulldog he doesn't run a lot because he's a big fat bulldog so we go out it's pretty dark and he takes off running.
Which is very rare and so i'm tracking him i got to take my boot off by the way today's the first day that i've come to work not in a boot after my surgery which is great but my ankle has been killing me because i really haven't walked on it in like five or six weeks so my foot's hurting the bulldog's running it's dark and all of a sudden i hear.
And stanley's like jumping and him and opossum are like going at it like not fighting well the possum might think it's fighting but stanley's trying to play with this thing and it's disgusting and so i'm like stop stop stop and the possum just goes and plays as soon as i as soon as i run up it plays possum i love that it just pops over and dies i think it might have like look at.
Amy
This oh my gosh it really is.
Bobby Bones
It'S just like curled up like it died so it might have attacked stanley because that was an animal and they were about the same size but as soon as i ran up it just went boop and fell right over so i like arm like wrap my arm around the bulldog he's sixty pounds i'm carrying him back in i'm watching to make sure we don't get attacked by a possum but man those things are so gross like there's nothing cute their.
Amy
Faces are a little bit cute they're.
Bobby Bones
Pretty cute no they're not if you see one in person there is nothing.
Amy
Cute about that it's kind of cute.
Eddie
Dude i love how he plays his.
Amy
Face right now it's like they have.
Bobby Bones
Bacteria all in their mouth i'm not.
Eddie
Talking about that y i don't you.
Bobby Bones
Guys have some sort of fake version you must not have seen many possums in real life because it was disgusting this thing looks like an alien that's been put to the blender i think.
Amy
It'S kind of cute but also that i get the idea of like playing dead but then what if it's an animal that then wants to eat a dead animal what risk they take well.
Bobby Bones
It'S the same risk if you try to fight somebody like you might also die while you are fighting too okay.
Amy
So that's just play dead and hope.
Bobby Bones
They walk away there's nothing to do there nothing to see here i guess everybody's dead so move on let's go to stephanie in virginia.
Stephanie you're on.
Stephanie
The show hey morning studio morning.
I am a die hard zack brown fan probably been to twenty to thirty shows and for what the last fifteen plus years and by wanting to say you scared the daylights out of me on the spirit stuff i haven't watched the videos but i have a husband who's been dragged to all these shows his nickname's ad rock shoot i don't remember what band that's from but he likes that weird stuff so sometimes i have to like kick myself out of it and go oh okay other people like this weird day of the dead stuff but i do think it's super weird.
Bobby Bones
That'S a good comparison also it feels like the guy that had the ed.
Amy
Hardy oh yeah yeah yeah kind of.
Bobby Bones
Feels ed hardy ish on the screen but that sphere show looks like i would want to wear a cross around my neck if i went just in.
Amy
Case it got dicey like a rosary like rubbing it i show up with.
Bobby Bones
All of that yeah no i listen they're really great i think they are probably the greatest country band ever zac brown band arguably up against alabama and i think depending on your age probably have a different opinion on that but that show looks.
I'M hoping what i saw is just like a selection of the weirdest stuff but if it because if it's like forty five minutes of that i don't know man i'm probably i'm probably out like i want to go watch something wholesome like the backstreet boys or like i think no doubt doing a sphere show that would be super cool but it just looks weird that's all i'm saying thank you stephanie you've been to twenty five shows sir.
Stephanie
Probably yeah i mean i was pregnant my daughter's almost sixteen i was at a show with her and my belly so yeah we fly around when we can but we're going to vegas on friday for good or for bad so we're going to this show and i.
Bobby Bones
Hope it's great yeah you'll be okay.
Amy
Yeah i mean maybe she'll have to keep us posted one hundred hail marys.
Bobby Bones
Before one hundred hail marys after take.
Amy
A rosary if you make it out of there hit us up thank you.
Bobby Bones
Stephen there was always a rumor when again i was a kid and a lot of the devil stuff is just the media making it up because metallica they weren't devil worshipers led zeppelin didn't sell their soul to the devil oh marilyn manson marilyn manson the thing was with marilyn manson was that one of his shows he was going to lock the doors and then burn and kill everybody inside the arena i remember that and it was just a made up rumor but it spread like crazy so if you went to one of his shows you took the risk of him locking all the doors and killing everybody including himself in the arena do you guys never i mean i heard it.
Amy
But i would i always wondered i mean i'm not a he didn't do it marilyn manson fan obviously he didn't do it but i always wondered if i had a ticket to that would.
Bobby Bones
I back out it wasn't for me for the same reason i did like some of the music the harder core stuff i couldn't do yeah but let's.
Amy
Just say you were a fan if you heard that rumor would you take.
Bobby Bones
The risk probably because if i were a fan i'd probably be a fan of that that type of experience and you'd go down with i think i i just think if i were like a seventeen year old who was painting black underneath my eyes wearing black clothes chains i would be like yep if that's how i go i go marilyn manson or bust yeah okay i just was not a marilyn manson guy.
I did like a couple of the songs but even they were weird even the ones that kind of crossed over were weird like sweet dreams are made of these that's a pretty good one beautiful.
Eddie
People that one that was him too.
Bobby Bones
What'S the concert what have you seen the most i was thinking about this i think i've seen the foo fighters eleven times i was trying to count i've seen john mayer probably ten or eleven times i've seen the red hot chili peppers nine times wow i stopped going to concerts kind of once we.
Amy
Moved here i'm like who's been at i heart festival the most oh i didn't really count that i mean george strait maybe for me if you count from like yeah because i was seeing him at an early age and then i've seen him as an adult i don't really i'm not i don't think i'm a.
Repeat chronic but if somebody.
Bobby Bones
Comes to town you just die to.
Amy
Go yeah george strait how many times i'm trying to think of maybe how many times four i've seen him in my whole life that's little i know but there's not anybody else i can name that i've seen that many times.
Bobby Bones
So you're not being held under a spotlight we're not interrogating you i know.
Amy
But y' all are like eleven what.
Eddie
About you pearl jam how many probably.
Amy
Fifteen okay see now i'm lame fifteen.
Eddie
Times and i'd probably do twenty thirty.
Bobby Bones
But you're not a live music person now because i'm in it so much i don't really love going to concerts unless it's like one of my friends but that's different i was i loved it but then you just do it.
Amy
So much no i mean yeah we've been doing this for a long time that's why i was like these are the festival the most because i've seen them a lot george drape for sure has to be mine because it's at least four times if you count i heart festival five he played i heart festival yeah remember when he was surprise.
Bobby Bones
Guests with oh i heard country yeah.
Eddie
Yeah i was thinking vegas and he.
Bobby Bones
Came out for one song i don't think that counts that's not a concert you buy tickets to he played more.

Hello bobby bones my in laws are amazing people they love our kids a lot but they go completely overboard with christmas gifts every single year we're talking about huge expensive takes up half the living room type gifts last year they bought our six year old an electric mini car without asking us the year before was a giant trampoline they had delivered as a surprise the problem is my husband and i have tried really hard to keep christmas simple we have rules about screen time and toy limits and showering the kids with stuff they don't need do we say something again before christmas or do we just deal with it thanks for the help stressed mom in arkansas amy you go first.
Amy
I mean it must be really over the top to be annoyed by that because.
For me i see it as like oh wow it's like you know if my kids want a trampoline great the grandparents can buy it and i don't have to worry about that i think a conversation is okay what is.
Bobby Bones
It though like what would you say.
Amy
More of like hey we're really trying to work on keeping christmas to this this and this like we love that y' all want to shower them with gifts can we spread it out over christmas birthdays this and that or at least give us a heads up on big gift you're thinking and then maybe we can work together because yeah if they have different boundaries around what kind of stuff they want their kids playing with and then the grandparents are swooping in and blowing it all out of the water then that's that's disruptive to the to the your home the lifestyle you're trying to create yeah and i.
Bobby Bones
Think to the scale of how they want christmas celebrated too it's not just a gift it's like we don't want to celebrate it like this so it may not even be about the money.
Eddie
But eddie i don't see the problem.
Bobby Bones
Oh you guys just want the big.
Eddie
Gifts man i love i love when they do that the only problem i had with the trampoline is that they bought it i had to put it together that's annoying but look anytime christmas comes around they want a big present.
Bobby Bones
Ask your grandparents what if though it's against really what you guys are standing.
Eddie
For now it's what we stand for.
Bobby Bones
Oh so you're changing if they're doing.
Eddie
It we stand for if you want a big gift ask your grandparents look grandparents they're not going to last forever.
Bobby Bones
And from what i love that riley.
Eddie
Green song from what i understand these grandparents this like grandchildren are their life like they love spoiling grandchildren let them spoil the grandchildren you don't have to pay for it enjoy it so let.
Bobby Bones
Me get this straight because i'd like for both of you guys pointed advice here eddie your pointed advice to this emailer is enjoy it let it happen.
Eddie
Let them let them do it until just and you you're gonna see when they're not around anymore you're gonna be dang now i gotta buy the gifts.
Bobby Bones
And that part's gonna suck that's gonna suck amy and your point of advice.
Amy
Is yeah i mean i totally get where eddie's coming from like i said because it would be great to have them fund everything but if you want limits it's okay to have boundaries around the gift giving and it's okay to have that conversation i mean they don't take it away from them entirely and like i said spread it out over the year like maybe there's other things they could do for the kids but it's not christmas i know maybe they limit it to i i don't know how to limit it because i also would be grateful for it one must say that both my parents have passed away so like my four kids some kids have like six sets of grandparents depending on how many times people have been married and divorced and yeah my kids have my their dad's parents okay.
Bobby Bones
I i'll be the rational one here you don't like it doesn't make you feel good tell them it doesn't make you feel good and just could they limit it like fifty oh yeah just.
Amy
Like cut it in half yeah like whatever you're gonna do whatever you think.
Bobby Bones
It is can you please cut it in half because we're trying to teach our kids about simplicity and the value of what christmas actually means not what the relationship that's created because they're getting awesome gifts but i understand i want.
Eddie
The presents too yeah they do have little trampolines so it's fifty the trampoline tiny little ones all right close it.
Bobby Bones
Up sam hunt forty one years old today so sam was born in what state ray georgia correct wow on december eighth nineteen eighty four today's his birthday like we said he played quarterback at what college ray.
Same state up to you i'm asking you what quarter what college you play quarterback at i don't know it was smaller though alabama birmingham different state correct d one school yeah yeah it was good okay.
He was invited to free agent training camp with what nfl team was it the falcons the chiefs.
It did not work out then he moved to nashville to pursue music and he started writing songs for other artists he wrote cop car for what other artist urban keith urban that's correct all right here is sam hunt on our show talking about being a reluctant star because he knew he wanted to make music but he didn't really set out to be famous the celebrity.
Sam Hunt
That comes with this job in this society i guess is a little bit strange for me the pedestal that kind of you get put on i'm even uncomfortable with the word star like even hearing that like makes me cringe a little bit i loved music and i moved to nashville to figure out how to you know somehow find a career making music and i figured the only option at that point when i moved to town was to make a record and put it out i didn't know exactly what that would look like so all that came with it i couldn't really foresee but and it's not like it's not all bad enjoyed so much.
Bobby Bones
Of it we talked about body like a back road and why that song took him forever to write that was.
Sam Hunt
One where if i missed by an inch i'd miss by a mile and so i had to get it just right so i didn't want to have any lines or sections that were that didn't match the rest of the song and feel like the same character and but also feel like it just came out because i wanted to feel like it just came off the top of the head it took more thought and effort to get it to make it feel like that it kept feeling overwritten every every line early on was like a reference to the back road and it was like just felt overwritten and too cute so i had to find that sweet spot it took a little.
Bobby Bones
While one final thing we talked with sam about the song that changed his.
Sam Hunt
Life leave the night on i remember just driving around locally when you guys were playing it and and that's when i really felt this momentum or this energy bubbling up that felt like the wave had gone from just a slow build over three or four years to this big jump overnight probably that i don't know three or four months span right there when that song first came.
Bobby Bones
Out it's time for the good news.
Amy

Lunchbox
A truck driver in west virginia is going down the highway there's snow there's ice when he's going across a bridge and he starts to slide fishtail the truck crashes through the bridge and is left dangling one hundred feet in the air and he's just oh my gosh what do i do he.

Bobby Bones
Reading books you say ahead of time here are the five categories we're gonna fill and you're only getting five presents so which one would you like to open first something to wear yes socks.
Would you do it like that do you line it up and say here are the five things kids that i.
Amy
Suppose it's up to you on how you want to distribute the rule of five but i mean your kids don't have to know that this is your guideline it's just if christmas shopping is getting a little overwhelming like these are guidelines for parents to use when they're shopping like oh i'm gonna pick out i know they've really wanted this ooh this would be good for them to wear at school or to nice things however you want to break it up yourself it's just giving you guidelines as a parent i don't know that the kids necessarily know that this is your.

Bobby Bones
People there's a few weeks left in twenty twenty five but we should be soft launching our new year's resolutions to boost our chance of succeeding so for me it's always been if you just start doing it like mid december you get re energized at january first and then you kind of will fall off anyway but for your head yeah and if you can see real progress it makes you actually want to do it more so you want to soft launch a resolution i gave you no time to think about it but i'll give you one of mine.
Not be terrible.
