[B]

We're gonna get to today's show on the podcast for sure. It's a little, I won't say a mess, but we had terrible, terrible weather over the weekend. So we have a lot of the show. But I'll let everybody go home immediately as soon as we were done with the show because it's pretty bad out there. I don't have any power in my house. I haven't had power all weekend. That's on me, sort of for not getting A generator. But again, it's like, Ray, I had a guy over, like 10 days ago giving us a quote. We had the quote. The actual quote came in as the ice was starting. It was like, hey, we got you all figured out. So I was in on it. Just didn't have it in time. Everybody's freezing in my house, but people have it a lot worse, so. But everybody went home. So you're not gonna have a part two today. There's not gonna be a. Tell me something good. There's. Eddie and I are up here right now in the studio. Well, I'm your ride, so Eddie's my jeep. Yeah, Eddie's gonna take me home. But it is. It is ice. Like, straight ice. So it's bizarre out there. There are so many trees and power lines down all over the city. My wife send me an Instagram. It looks. Because of all the trees that are down, because of all the weighted ice, because snow is nothing. I've now come to respect snow even less.

[D]

It's actually nice.

[B]

Yeah. I used to be like, oh, no snow. It's going to shut everything down. Snow's nothing. Snow's junior varsity compared to a massive ice storm. And when they were saying it could be a half inch of ice, which will be a disaster for everyone involved, there's like half inch at that.

[D]

That's nothing. That's nothing. That's a little. Little piece of ice.

[B]

That's a little teensy teens. It has destroyed the city that we live in, and it's destroyed a lot of other cities that are happening because it's. What happens is it weighs everything down. I just hear constant crunches and booms and pows because it's trees falling down all around us, falling on the fences, falling everywhere.

[D]

Cars, houses.

[B]

It's wild. And it's happening all through the country. So I'm just letting everybody know that we had a go of it. It's been a rough weekend. People have it rougher. Completely understand. But I let everybody go home as soon as the show is over. So there will be no part two. But now you can listen to today's show and have at it. And we'll probably end up doing, you know, do a whistle still.

[D]

Yeah, man. We have to show them.

[B]

I mean, we're up. We're still up here. So we can still do a 25 whistle. So that can be kind of like part two today. If you guys want to go over and listen to that, it'll probably be up on the feed. Otherwise, in Enjoy today's show. Hope everybody's safe and warm out there. Bye. Come on, Bobby Bones transmitting across America. Turn it up. This is the Bobby Bones Show.

[C]

Let's go.

[B]

Hey, I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to Monday show Morning Studio.

[D]

Morning, Bones.

[A]

My name is Anne. I'm calling from Albuquerque, New Mexico. I just wanted to share with you all that after a long process, I have been approved to donate a kidney. I'm going to donate a kidney to my friend and neighbor Eddie. And my surgery is scheduled for February 11th. And I really love the show. Thanks for all you do. You guys just really help create such a positive world.

[B]

Thank you for the voicemail. I want to say this about that we get so many calls from people that have heard our show and have decided to donate organs. Because we talk about it. Wow. And no, you're not taking credit.

[D]

So cool.

[B]

But we talk about it because Eddie says he's always wanted to do it, yet he never does it. And then he backed out of it. But even that has created this. This wave of people that hear about it and then donate organ.

[D]

That's amazing.

[B]

So should we give Eddie credit?

[A]

Stop talking.

[D]

Well, think about it, guys. Like, the fact that we were. That. I just. I mean, I don't even know where it came from. I just said, one day, man, I would like to do that someday. And I haven't done it. Haven't even thought about really doing it. But the fact that it's inspiring other people is beautiful.

[A]

I mean, I think if. If he's going to take credit for that, then shouldn't we all. Because we all talk about it with him.

[D]

You've never thought about it.

[B]

Just I. Since I built the show and hired all you guys.

[A]

Exactly.

[E]

Sure.

[A]

Like, if you. Like, if you want to break it down. I mean, that's basically the same thing as you digging.

[D]

Have you guys ever thought about donating a kidney?

[A]

When we bring it up making fun of you or we bring stories just to point out that you haven't. We're contributing to the storyline.

[B]

Okay. And only because it's not that you haven't, because you keep saying you want to and then you don't.

[E]

I'd love to.

[B]

Yeah, maybe something.

[A]

This is the year of.

[D]

Oh, serious. Yes. Being serious.

[B]

So you don't say that anymore.

[D]

Being serious. I'm not saying it.

[B]

That's amazing. Thank you for that voicemail. Leave us a voicemail anytime. 877-77. Bobby, you should burp your house. According to experts.

[A]

What does this even mean?

[B]

You open the windows for a little bit Each day and you burp your home or you open the front door for five minutes and you. It is important to do this in the summer and winter. Once in the summer, once in the winter, it sweeps out stale air.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Is there a such thing as stale air? Yeah, it just moves in and out.

[D]

Doesn't the air conditioner take care of all that?

[A]

Yeah, no, it's in the vents. The same air being circulated. I get. I get the idea of this.

[D]

What's that AC unit outside, the one with the fan that brings air in, that doesn't do anything?

[B]

The circulator.

[D]

That guy.

[B]

I. When people like I need fresh air, I always think you just want to get away from everybody. It's not really about the air. There's not really no difference in error.

[A]

There is very much a difference in error.

[B]

I don't think we've ever burped our house because our dogs run away.

[D]

They're gone as soon as you open the door.

[B]

The daily added outdoor air significantly reduces concentrations of air contaminants that can make you and your family sick.

[A]

That's why in the winter we get more sick, is because we're all indoors more. You're in.

[B]

Yeah. That's because you're close to people.

[D]

It's not the air in the house.

[B]

No, it's because you're closer to people. There's more people. They're all confined.

[A]

But if you were close to people in the open air, it'd be less.

[B]

That's House Beautiful. No, it'd be the openness that would make it less, not the air. Next up, celebrating divorce. More and more women are celebrating their divorces to get over them. Did you ever have a divorce celebration of any kind?

[A]

I did not.

[B]

There are divorce parties. Divorce cakes and jewelers report increasing requests for divorce rings. The ring seems a bit much.

[A]

I guess it just depends on how toxic your relationship was and how.

[B]

I don't mind the cake.

[A]

Celebratory. You feel towards, like, making that move for yourself, you know, Like, I get that. For me, I just was pretty even about it. I mean, I was probably more sad that it didn't work out. So celebration seemed off. But when it was over, I was relieved.

[B]

I don't mind. Who cares? Who cares what I even care about? But divorce parties, fine. Cake, fine. But a ring. A ring actually represents marriage. Marriage?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

No, a full, non stop bond.

[A]

Eternity.

[B]

Yeah. It continues to go circle. Yeah. Yeah. So the ring, that's kind of weird.

[A]

Well, didn't they say it was a diamond?

[B]

It just says divorce Rings.

[D]

Oh, it should be anti diamond.

[B]

It should just be a big hole with nothing in it. Yeah.

[D]

Or like whatever holds the diamond, but nothing.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Nothing. It's like just an empty. Women also get tattoos to mark the breakup. Therapists encourage it as a way to start new, almost like New Year's, with a new outlook and goals. Post divorce.

[A]

I don't know about that. Like, you get into a new relationship and they're like, what's that tattoo? My divorce.

[D]

That's weird.

[B]

There's a statute of limitations on gripes with your partner. According to this story for the New York post, there's a 24 hour rule to save relationships. The logic is if you're upset about something, you have 24 hours to bring it up. If you don't, that's the statute of limitations. You can't bring it up after 24 hours.

[A]

I don't agree with that.

[B]

Go ahead.

[A]

I just think that you may need time to process or calm down. What if in that 24 hours you're still too emotional to bring it up? When you're too emotional, that's like the worst time to talk about stuff. So maybe you need a little bit more time to process and get into your rational brain.

[B]

I know for me, if I don't bring it up at 24 hours, I start to get resentful that that can happen. I'm going, I can't believe this isn't fixed when I haven't even brought it up. I think it's a good rule of thumb if you don't bring it up within the first 24, 48 hours, like you got to kind of let it go.

[A]

Well, now you just gave it 48.

[B]

Well, I didn't make this rule. I'm just saying for me, if I don't bring it up and I don't talk about it, I start to then get mad that it's not being fixed when I haven't even shared it to be fixed.

[A]

Well, that's good that you have that self awareness and that's good to know.

[B]

I'm the most self worth person I know. I'm 100 self awareness.

[A]

Okay, so that, that's great you know that I think in general someone might read that and if they're very black and white, they might be like, okay, 24 hours. But it's. You just have to probably go case by case.

[B]

They're watching a timer at 23:55. I gotta go. Therapists say the rule is not a one size fits all okay. For couples who habitually avoid conflict or suppress their emotions, a time boundary can act as a healthy accountability structure. Again, that's from the New York Post. I think generally that's a pretty good rule because most things aren't things that are so significant. You're wildly emotional about them.

[A]

Yeah, but just depending on where I am hormonally can depend on how long it's going to take me to get rational.

[B]

Sometimes facts. Days. Yeah, well, not weeks.

[A]

No, not weeks. Don't be ridiculous.

[E]

It's free.

[B]

Anonymous in boxing. Anonymous in box. There's a question to be behind. Hello, Bobby Bones. We're looking to hire a tutor for our daughter. She comes highly recommended and also happens to be very attractive. Like, distractingly attractive. I trust my husband, truly. He's a great guy. But I also know he has eyeballs. Am I being ridiculous for thinking this way? Do I ignore looks completely and focus on credentials like a normal adult? Or do I listen to my gut and look for another option so I can sleep peacefully during tutoring hours? Signed, mom worried about tutor. Honestly, I thought it was going to be for her son, and her son was going to be distracted at the Tudor.

[D]

She's worried about the dad.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Yeah, but. So, wait, did she say how old the son is?

[B]

No.

[A]

I'm telling you because that also might matter, and she's just too focused on her. Her husband, and she needs to also be focused on her son.

[B]

But the son is different. The son is a kid. You expect a kid. You should have. You should be able to trust your husband, no matter how high the person coming into your house.

[A]

I know. My point is, if you're paying for a tutor. Tutor, though, you want your son to be focused on the material, not the teacher. And if you have, like, say, this, 14, 15. They're not gonna be able to focus on what she's saying.

[D]

That'd be a problem.

[B]

Waste of money. I know, but if you're worried about your husband, even if that's the case, that's way worse.

[A]

Listen, let me tell you, we recently got. I don't know, he might be 80.

[B]

He's hot. You can't keep your eyes off of him.

[A]

No, but this is the first time we've had, like, an older tutor for my son. Best decision we ever made. He does not mess around. And I don't know what it is, but it's awesome.

[D]

He's not attracted. That's what it is. He's focusing.

[A]

Yeah. Because previously.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

My son was with, like, younger girls.

[B]

What would you tell this woman because I know I would tell her. Suck it up, buttercup. It's unfair to penalize somebody if they're ugly or pretty if they have the credentials.

[A]

I know in this case, you need to find yourself a Mr. Jim. That's what we found so interesting.

[B]

So you want to find. You want to find an old, ugly person.

[D]

But this girl's really good.

[A]

He's elderly.

[D]

Really good.

[B]

I just think it's it. It sucks for somebody if you're being penalized for how you look so sad.

[E]

You're so beautiful.

[A]

You can't penalize.

[B]

Dang hater in the house. I'm gonna say let it be and see if there's distraction. And if so, then maybe you can make it as maybe they're all mature enough. But really, if you're worried about your husband, there's something else there.

[A]

Yeah, that would be weird. Like you should be.

[B]

But I don't think she should be penalized.

[A]

No, I know. I'm just. I'm. I'm joking. I think it's. Give it a go, See what happens.

[B]

You do think that. For real.

[A]

But always be present. Okay. Okay.

[B]

It must be tough to be so pretty.

[D]

Oh, man. So hard.

[A]

Do you think she knows?

[B]

Of course. Everybody's super pretty. Knows they're super pretty.

[A]

Especially if they're what you say strikingly.

[B]

Because when someone that's that pretty walks in the room, everybody goes, wow. It doesn't matter guy or girl. Everybody's just like, wow, look how pretty that. Or you're like, wow, how pretty that person is.

[D]

There's that song, though. She don't know she's beautiful.

[B]

Yeah, but mostly they do. Mostly they do. I say give it a rip. You shouldn't penalize it for being hot. You shouldn't penalize it for being ugly. That's what I'll say.

[A]

Also you say penalize. Weird.

[B]

[E]

Or one to five.

[B]

It's probably easier to go one to five, right?

[E]

But it changes.

[B]

I mean it's like it One through five. Kenny Chesney doing Kenny Chesney songs. Number one.

[E]

Number one. Probably it would be Old Blue Chair. Just because such, it's such a portrait of my soul. It's, it was, it stamped a time of my life where I was in the Virgin Islands. And I mean, I remember I was out. This was, Remember. And I started writing this song at the New Year's Day. Well, New Year's Eve, whatever. But it was in 1999. There was this, this person. I forgot the name that, the name, the guy that did this. But he predicted that the world was going to end. The whole world was kind of, oh, okay, well, this is gonna be weird. And I thought, well, that's gonna happen. I'm gonna have fun, you know. So I was, I was down in the Virgin Islands and I was, I was, you know, having a blast. And the place that I rented had two blue wicker rocking chairs. And I stayed there for like three or four years. And I remember I came in from town and I had, I had a cup full about, you know, coconut rum and Diet Coke. And I went out there and sat in that chair. And I was looking up, but it was beautiful. And I was, you know, rock up right on the beach. And I was looking up at the sky. There was a million stars in the sky. And I had to drink in between my legs. And I fell asleep. And I woke up the next morning with the sun coming right over the hill. And I was covered in mosquito bites that day. I started writing down the lyrics to Old Blue Chair and finished it several months later. But that'd be, I mean, as a songwriter, that would be number one.

[B]

Okay. Number two.

[E]

Number two would as a songwriter slash artist would be I go back. Number three would probably be There Goes My Life. Number four would probably be Anything But Mine. And then, I don't know, there's like, young Summertime.

[B]

Well, you said you had Tequila's top five.

[E]

Tequila has to be five. But if I had to do another five, it would be young. It would be summertime. It would be saving for a rainy day.

[B]

It would be, be.

[E]

I don't know. You know, the duet with Pink was a lot of fun.

[B]

I'm not forcing to do a top other five. Yeah.

[E]

Okay. If there's some alternates, we could put those in there.

[B]

Yeah. Are there any songs that you recorded back then that you don't like to play now that were number ones?

[E]

Yeah, I mean, I, I, I don't, I wouldn't say don't like to play, you know, we still do don't happen twice in the show. And I, for whatever reason, it still fits in our show. We do Tractor every now and then. Just, you know, there's a moment that I got really sick of Tractor. Like I just said, well, if I don't have to sing Tractor anymore, it's not going to hurt my feelings. But then Megan Moroney comes out on the road with us. She's out there for a couple weekends and she goes, why are you not doing Tractor? I want to hear Tractor. She was. Everybody out there wants to hear Tractor. I want to hear Tractor. And I said, okay, well, you're going to come up and sing it with me. And she goes, deal. And then I did it. And she was right.

[B]

They go crazy.

[E]

They go crazy. It's just, it's like, okay, me, mentally, I'm past it, but it's. It will forever be there.

[B]

Do you ever do the merch lottery with your guys?

[E]

I did merch lottery for a long time. Can you.

[B]

Will you explain that?

[E]

I did merch lottery? I don't know. It was four or five years in a row and it was. I started doing it the first year. We were playing football stadiums across America and I went, you know what I'm gonna like. These guys are out here working really hard and I've decided that I was going to pick one stadium show on the tour and whatever was made that night, we're going to do a merge lottery. So I decided we were going to. It's almost like drawing names for Christmas, you know. So we put everybody's name on a piece of paper in that sombrero and we brought everybody together and I would go out there and shake it all around and pull out a name. And whoever's name I pulled got all the merch for the stadium that night.

[B]

All the money, all the money, all.

[E]

The, all the merchandise, which could be life changing money. It's six figures. Figures, really? Yeah. So what they ended up doing though is after a couple years, whoever got them, let's just say you got the money. You know, if you're in, you're. You're part of the video crew and I, I pull out Bobby Bones's name, right? Well, what they started doing is just sharing it with everyone, which was great. You know, they split it up amongst everyone.

[B]

The first couple of years though, someone would win like two, $300,000. Yeah.

[E]

Wow. Yeah.

[B]

What if. Because that were my. That makes me think of like those lines at Starbucks where they keep passing it on. What if somebody didn't Share it. It's like two years and Jim wins, and he's like, screw this, I'm keeping it.

[E]

Yeah, well, I mean, that happened a couple times.

[B]

Like, somebody that cuts off the Starbucks pass it online.

[E]

You're like, they didn't know they had to share it. You know, that was part of the thing. Oh, you know, somebody's life could, you know, be changed, whatever. But then, then they decided, oh, well, you know what? All of our lives are going to change a little bit.

[B]

That would be crazy to win the merchant lottery. I know.

[E]

I, I. Yeah. When I first did it, I was like, all my buddies are going, you sure you want to do this? Yeah, I' we did it. It was like, oh, okay.

[B]

You put your own name in it. The winner, Kenneth Cheese.

[D]

Me?

[B]

Yes. I did an hour with Kenny. You can hear or see the whole thing. The Bobby cast is now on Netflix. So you can watch it on Netflix or you can still listen normal. Just search for the Bobby cast wherever you get your podcasts. It's time for the good news with Bobby. This woman's name is Janet. For the last 44 years, Janet's worked as the school crossing guard in Tyler, Texas. Her car was repossessed, so she was left without reliable transportation. Her situation became known in the community because she's been known in the community for over 40 years. So parents, staff members of the community came together, and they were like, hey, can you guys donate a few bucks? And they raised thousands of dollars to cover the cost of the repossession, all the fees after that. And then it also helped her with some other bills and stuff, too.

[A]

Wow.

[B]

Because they knew her and she had been there for them for 44 years.

[D]

Wow.

[B]

That's from CBS 19. So big shout out to Janet. Also, there was a crossing guard during our time here on the show that Amy thought was selling drugs.

[D]

I remember that.

[B]

And she was like, you'll never. She's handing people.

[A]

Sure did. I couldn't believe it. Right in front. Right, right. Like, and it's sort of. I thought she was hiding in plain sight, you know, because nobody would suspect that she would be handling drug deals in that way. But I would see cars pull up, she would put something in their hand and then chew pulley, and they would drive off. And I was like, what else could it be? It's drugs.

[B]

So Lunchbox drove up.

[A]

He sure did.

[B]

I was like, let me get some of that kibble.

[A]

And she gave him, like, a peppermint or something.

[D]

That's it.

[A]

So she was known in the Neighborhood as passing out little candies, and people would take her off.

[B]

And Amy thought she was selling on drugs.

[A]

I sure did, man. I thought I had busted her big time. I mean, I wasn't gonna do anything about it. We were just trying to find out just so we could know not to get her in trouble.

[B]

Like, what if she would have handed Lunchbox a bag of meth, dude, we.

[E]

Would have gone crazy.

[A]

Crazy. What would we have done?

[B]

Probably started using it because we're like, this is crazy. This is crazy. Anyway, it's a great story for that town and that crossing guard. That is what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Bones. If you had to write a song about your life right now, like, something going on in your life, what would that song be called?

[A]

No Longer the Weakest Link.

[D]

Oh, wow, that's a heavy song.

[B]

Dang regrows.

[E]

Why?

[B]

What's happening? Why would you write that song? What does that mean?

[A]

That's just something, like, right now that feels very fitting for me. And it would feel empowering to, like, have a song to sing about it.

[B]

Have you been the weakest link?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Where at times on the show, it. It's not really. Well, maybe even professionally sometimes, but this is more of a personal matter. And it came up on a zoom call the other day and, like, something that, to be honest, we had, like, a mentor of sorts on the line, and my ex husband was on the line and has to do with some stuff with our kids. And I just was real proud. Like, the person that we've been working with for, like, five years, she's like, amy, you are not the same person that I met five years ago, and, like, there would have been a time you would have been the weakest link. And that's no longer the case.

[B]

So you know what that means. You have to assign the new weakest link.

[D]

And who is.

[A]

No, I don't.

[B]

Oh, you don't do that?

[A]

No, that's not really what it was about, but. And not even really that I actually was. But it was a per. Could be perceived that I was as well. And that just. It made me feel good because, you know, she's an expert and she was seeing my growth.

[B]

I think I'd write a song. Holy crap. Babies are small.

[D]

Oh, that's good.

[B]

We got these hangers.

[D]

For the baby gloves.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Tiny, tiny little hangers.

[B]

Who knew they made them?

[D]

Yeah, they're cute.

[B]

I opened the box on my Instagram and I was like, these hangers, I just thought maybe you, like, taped them. Up or something in the closet. Or you just fold it all. Baby clothes, but these hangers are tiny.

[D]

They're so cute, dude.

[B]

So, yeah, I'd write a song called Holy crap. Babies are small. But also, with these baby clothes, I'm telling you, it's a racket. They need to make these clothes where you can pull and stretch them out more as they get a little older, because when they're super baby, like, tiny tiny, they grow out of this crap in weeks. And you just spend all this money on baby clothes. Yep. And they're also going, hey, you have all these baby clothes, but you need, like, eight of them, because baby uses the bathroom all the time. So, yeah, we're going through that right now. That'd be my song. Eddie.

[D]

I'm gonna go. Even my dog don't listen to me. Doesn't that sound like a good country song?

[B]

Does that mean the kids aren't listening?

[D]

Nobody listens.

[B]

The wife don't listen.

[D]

Nobody listens to me.

[B]

Even the dog don't listen.

[A]

Even the dog, like, sounds like you're the weakest link.

[D]

Okay, mine's the. The second part to your song. I just. Dude, no one listens to me in my. In my life right now. Like, I tell my kids something, and I have to yell three times for them to be like, huh? Oh, okay, dad. I'm on that. Or my wife, like, I'll tell her something. She'd be like, you didn't tell me that. Like, I'm pretty sure I told you that.

[B]

How do you change that?

[D]

Well, during. I mean, I'm just being patient, you know?

[B]

Like, you know how they do at the cartel?

[D]

Oh, they make you.

[B]

They make you watch. They kill one of them in front.

[D]

Of you, and then they put a little sign, you will listen to me.

[B]

Yeah. So it had to be that drastic. But get the belt out, dude.

[D]

I'm just being patient. Just being like, whatever.

[B]

What if you were to deal with one of your kids that said, what? Hey, kid number three, I'm gonna be real mad, and I'm gonna fake whoop you. And you don't want you to, really, because we need to sell it to your brothers. They need to listen.

[D]

I do that all the time. I do that all the time where I wink at, like, the three other kids.

[B]

Oh, you want to do this?

[D]

Oh, yeah. I'll watch this. And then I'll be like, start yelling. They're just laughing in the back. But you can't laugh, though.

[A]

Maybe this is why they don't take you serious.

[B]

Yeah. You're already working deals with your kids.

[D]

That could be it.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Lunchbox.

[C]

Pain and suffering with all the idiotic doctors.

[D]

Yeah, I've been having a long one.

[B]

You'd have to do parentheses on that one. It'd be called pain and suffering. Parentheses with all the idiotic doctors.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, I've been in pain since June and I mean, I've been to so many different doctors. No one can tell me what's wrong now. They say it's tightness in my pelvic floor. I. I have no idea. I. I don't know. Every doctor's, like, has a different saying. Oh, it's this. It's that just. They just make it up. They have no idea. And it's just miserable being in pain all the time.

[B]

If you were to sing that song, how would it go?

[C]

The pain and suffering never goes away. You make an appointment today? Oh, yeah. Come on. Let me see. Pull down your pants. Well, that's what they have to do. When you go in the doctor's office and the doctor says, hey, just YouTube something. I don't know what to do. The pain and suffering never goes away. And I got another appointment today.

[B]

Another appointment today.

[C]

And this doctor says, I don't know, but we're here if you need you.

[B]

We're here if you need you.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, we're here if you need us. But they're not really there for you. The pain, suffering never goes away. These idiot doctors need to go away.

[D]

That's good.

[B]

Wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[D]

Good job, dude.

[B]

Qualifying credit required. The person that won that Arkansas Powerball $1.8 billion finally claimed their money and they did it anonymously. Would you want to be anonymous? I know Lunchbox wouldn't. Would you guys do it anonymously?

[A]

Probably.

[D]

Probably not.

[B]

Why?

[D]

It's kind of be cool to tell everyone.

[A]

I mean you could tell your friends. You don't have to tell the public.

[D]

I mean doesn't that make people happy when you win the lottery and you like look at me, I won the lottery.

[B]

I don't think it makes people happy for you. I think mostly they're Just jealous. Or if they know you, that they're gonna get some money from you.

[D]

Oh, I don't know. I think it'd just be fun to tell everyone.

[B]

It would be fun to tell everyone. Yeah.

[D]

Because.

[C]

Because, like.

[B]

But I don't think people are gonna be happy for you generally.

[D]

I just think what's the fun of, like, you just winning and keeping it secret?

[B]

I don't think it's NDA where you can't tell anybody. I don't know. I. I'd be anonymous, except I acted like I won this one. And I just went places and people were asking me for money randomly that I didn't even know. That's crazy, because I did a bit because The Powerball was one. It was again, 1.8 billion. They got 834 million before taxes, so the lump sum is that. And so they're gonna have to pay another 400. They're gonna get about 500 million out of a almost 2 billion dollar. The crazy thing is our billionaires in America, that they don't pay this much taxes on their money because they. They have ways to not pay the lottery. You don't have those ways to not pay taxes. They eat you up. So it was bought in Cabot, which is a small town in Arkansas, which I've been to a hundred times. And so I made a video saying, oh, my God, I won the Powerball. Everybody believed it. And then I would go places and people would ask me for money because they thought I won the Powerball.

[D]

So they would just be like, hey, Bobby Bones, big fan, by the way, can I borrow some cash?

[B]

And every DM was, hey, man, taking a shot here. Shot in the dark. I need $50,000. I wouldn't trust anyone.

[C]

What?

[B]

And I'm saying this. It would be worth it to win the money, but I wouldn't trust anyone anymore because my brief fling with winning the Powerball and I didn't even win it, was everybody asking me for money that I didn't have to give them because I didn't win the Powerball. I just wouldn't trust that any relationship was real. New ones, no new friends. Because people are probably just being friends with you for the money.

[D]

Okay.

[B]

But I think I'd be anonymous. Lunchbox, you wouldn't be right.

[C]

I wouldn't be anonymous, and I wouldn't care about new friends. I'd be so rich, I wouldn't need friends. I wouldn't need those people like new friends. Who cares, man? I'm so rich. Oh, my gosh. Everybody Bow down to me. You want a hundred dollars? Tell me something nice. Tell me something great about me. Like, you know, that's what you want.

[B]

That's fake.

[C]

No, I'm not even saying they got to be my friend, but if you want the 100 bucks, if they send me a DM asking for a hundred dollars, tell me something why I'm awesome. They tell me something. Okay, here's 100 bucks.

[B]

Well, dude, that's all it takes.

[D]

Or.

[C]

Or, hey, go run a mile in this amount of time. Sorry, I didn't make it. Don't get 100 bucks.

[B]

So you're playing beast games with people in real life?

[C]

Absolutely. It would be so awesome.

[B]

You would just make people do stuff for your own personal enjoyment. That's Squid game.

[C]

Yeah, I mean that you have all the power, then you have all the power in the world. We so amazing.

[B]

This is why certain people, when they get money, they turn into worse people. Like everything they want to do, they actually do. And it's subjecting people to things that are uncomfortable to them. So you can watch them for your own enjoyment.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, you see someone walking down the street and they want 500 bucks, hey, go knock that drink out of that guy's hand.

[E]

I mean, I knew that.

[B]

That'S a funny show, but that sucks with the person who got the drink.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Then he got the drink knocked out of his hand.

[D]

At least he's having fun with the money. I like it.

[B]

But then he would start to be bored of knocking the Dr. Out of the hand and it would turn into, go punch that person. Oh, boy.

[D]

Go shoot that person.

[B]

Yes. The next. Yes, exactly. What's happening in Arkansas, you have to up to499,000. You have to say who you are. But if you went over half a million, you can be anonymous.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

So, yeah, congratulations, somebody. And I bet you they know in Cabot, if they live there, I bet you they know because there are signs.

[A]

Yeah, they left.

[E]

Yeah.

[B]

Or there's like a couple of Lamborghinis driving around, but some guy used to work at the bank, you know? Most watched Netflix shows. I'm gonna read you the top five of the last two months. Stranger Things makes it twice. I liked Stranger Things season one. I just never got back into it. But the first season and the last season are the biggest. Were you a Stranger Things person?

[A]

Nope.

[D]

You watched the first two seasons?

[B]

Lunchbox.

[C]

Never seen it.

[B]

Squid game at 4, Untamed at 3. I did not think Untamed was that good. I don't But I'm not sure if I finished it. I.

[A]

That's where I am. I'm like, I don't even remember the ending, but I obviously didn't. Stick with me.

[B]

Wednesday is the number one watch show. That's season two of Wednesday.

[D]

Adam's Family girl.

[B]

What's her name?

[E]

Mike?

[B]

Jenna Ortega. You like that show? I loved it. Last season was really good. Then you have Sean Combs, the Reckoning. It makes the list.

[A]

Oh, I watched that. That's dark.

[B]

But also it's the puffy show.

[A]

Right. Fascinating.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

By the way, my show is up today on Netflix, the Bobby cast. It's an hour with Kenny Chesney. A lot of people compare it to Sean Combs, the Reckoning. I don't know why, but they do. But you can go and search Bobby Bones on Netflix and watch my show starting today.

[A]

Last weekend, we were visiting our daughter.

[B]

Who goes to college and plays basketball. After the basketball game, they had pasta for the families and for the girls. And some of the girls had hair in their pasta. So they called and asked for more pasta. But the question is, would you eat the pasta if there was hair in it? I would just remove the hair and eat it. What would you do?

[A]

Thanks.

[B]

Bye. I think if it were free pasta, I would eat more pasta, but I wouldn't eat the pasta that's been in my plate given to me. I'd switch it out. Say, I'd like to send this back. There's hair in this. Now if they pulled the hair out and sent it back to me, I would not know the difference. If I'm at a restaurant, I say, hey, there's hair in my food. Can I get a refund? And I would order a completely different dish. But if it's free pasta that they have a whole bunch of, there's really nothing else. I'm assuming it's some, like, buffet that the team provided.

[A]

Yeah, I would imagine so. Yeah. Go get another plate. Yeah, you'll be good. I mean, the odds that that hair touched that pasta. Very small.

[B]

The hair. Gross. You guys out?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My boyfriend pulled a hair out of his food last night, and he just kept eating it.

[B]

The hair?

[A]

No, he pulled the hair out, and then he just went to the trash can and put it in the trash.

[B]

But what pasta did they make it at home? Somebody at.

[A]

Oh, it was chili. It was hair and chili. It was made at home.

[B]

Okay. Okay. If it's made at home. Also not that big a deal, because I know where everybody in my home's been Right.

[D]

Right.

[A]

That's probably why. And I just kind of looked at my bowl and was like, okay, if.

[B]

My wife cooked dinner. That's a good question. And I. She had hair in the food that she cooked, and I knew it was hers. I'd be like, that's okay. I would keep eating.

[D]

It's her hair.

[B]

If I don't know whose hair it is, that's where it gets gross.

[A]

I know, but some people, like, the minute they see the hair, they don't know where it comes from. They just, like, have a gag reflex, and they cannot continue.

[B]

There's a story of a restaurant in Houston. So they're speaking out because this happened where some people at this Mexican restaurant, they were like, I got a hair in my food. Except they went to the security footage, and it looks like they're putting the hair in their own food.

[D]

Oh, for what? To get free food.

[B]

So I'll read you the story here. The video recorded on Monday, January 12, from inside Fajita's Mexican Grill shows a woman removing hair from her own head and placing it on the table. Moments later, the man sitting across from her appears to move the hair onto his plate before calling a server over and pointing it out.

[E]

Oh.

[B]

The footage was later reviewed by the restaurant owner's daughter, who stated that the complaint immediately raised concerns among the staff because they do a great job of making sure there's no hair inside the food. And so they went to the tape and they found out that they were doing this to get free food.

[A]

They had that whole system.

[B]

Yeah. Like, I'll place the hair down. Yeah. We'll spend 30 seconds not touching it. Then you just wipe your hand by. Pick it up and put it in the fajita.

[A]

I bet it's worked for them elsewhere.

[D]

Yeah, I bet they do this a lot.

[B]

Maybe even here. But that should be shared on social media, and that should be shame. You should have shame. Publicly shamed. If you're doing this trick to try to screw small businesses, any business, out of free food or anything else.

[D]

You mean release the footage?

[B]

Yeah. Show them shame it.

[A]

Show their face.

[D]

Show their face.

[B]

It's time for the good news with.

[A]

Producer Eddie.

[D]

Sonny Loken. He's a Navy veteran, he lives in Minnesota, and he's at the doctor's office with his doctor that he's known forever, and he's Talking about his 90th birthday is coming up, up, and he wants to go parasailing. And the doctor's like, hold on. If you go parasailing, I'm Going with you.

[B]

This is because you're 90.

[D]

Well, that too.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

But he made it seem like, I want to be there to see this with you, but.

[B]

But really it was because he was. Okay. Got it.

[D]

So they went to Florida. Is Sunny the doctor and Sunny's granddaughter? They all went to Florida. And Sunny, 90 years old, for his birthday, he went parasailing over the ocean.

[B]

I just think of Amy parasailing.

[A]

I mean, yeah. I did it with my husband on our honeymoon.

[B]

And how much you hated it.

[A]

Hated was horrible.

[D]

How long are you up there? It seems like you're up there for a long time.

[A]

Too long.

[B]

Do you think because this guy's 90, he wanted to do it? He loved it. Do you think he had a better parasailing crew?

[A]

Maybe.

[B]

Do you think it was just you hated because you skydived and you like that?

[A]

Yeah, but I wasn't ever gonna do it again. I think I was more proud of myself for doing that, the parasailing. I was like, this is so stupid, because it wasn't. I don't know. I just. I just didn't like it.

[D]

You know what you never see with a parasailing? How do you get down? Like, do you just slowly go down in the ocean?

[A]

We drop in the sand, you know, drop in the water. What, we dropped.

[B]

Yeah, no, I've seen it. Where they reel you in slowly and you land on the back of the boat.

[D]

Oh, nice.

[B]

Like a platform.

[A]

We dropped. We were late. We landed on the sand.

[D]

Was that a hard landing?

[B]

I would have hated that too, I think. Yeah.

[A]

We didn't even get wet.

[C]

Well, I guess you don't land in the water because then the parachute would drown you.

[D]

Hold on. So you started on the sand and then landed on the sand.

[B]

Oh, you started on the sand.

[A]

You have to start. You have to kind of run. It's not terrible. You had this harness on, and I just remember being, like, hot and sticky.

[B]

Well, now I'm nervous because I gotta run fast enough so the thing picks me up.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

It's like running with a kite when there's no wind. Dude, that sucks.

[A]

Yeah, I. I don't know. Maybe in different parts of the world, they do it differently.

[D]

There's no way Sunny was running.

[A]

This was in Mexico.

[B]

Because again, I've seen people get on the back of platforms and they drive the boat and the wind gets under it, and then they slowly let you out.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Next thing you know, you're up and they reel you back in.

[D]

See, I've seen people on the water where they're laying flat on the water and the boat just takes off and they go up.

[A]

No, no, no. I've gone parasailing. And it was definitely from the back of the boat. And it was. I did not have to go running and I did not land in sand. It was from the back the of of the boat.

[B]

And then I landed back on the boat. You guys looked at me like I was crazy when I said that.

[A]

Well, I know, but I, I, that is not what we did.

[C]

I imagine that you were standing on a dock and they start driving and you just fly off the dock.

[B]

That feels dangerous.

[A]

And I remember even more dangerous. Did y'.

[B]

All.

[A]

Do you have to do like a, a, a run through on the sand before? No, we weren't in the sand at any point. We were, yes.

[D]

It was like, this is our first time ever.

[B]

Let's practice this. It was like, we have not tried this method yet.

[A]

Like a, like a, you know, just a run. A little run through, but obviously not full, but they were taking you through and harnessing you up and then just. You had to practice.

[B]

Like a 90 year old couldn't do her version.

[D]

There's no way.

[B]

There's no version.

[D]

There's no running. And he made it.

[B]

He lived, right?

[D]

Yeah, I know. He's good, man. He loves.

[A]

I'm also, you know, I'm worried about my memory, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

What if I call my ex husband right now and I'm like, how do we parasol? He's like, we took off from the boat.

[C]

That'd be really bad.

[A]

And I'll be like, we didn't run from the sand.

[B]

You can text him that.

[D]

All right.

[B]

There you go. Good story. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. Wake up in the morning's next bit.

[E]

Now Bobby's on the mic.

[B]

So you know, it is. This is, this is the body now. Time for the morning Corny.

[C]

The morning Corny.

[A]

What happened to the heart that broke the law?

[B]

What happened to the heart that broke the law?

[A]

It was placed under cardiac arrest.

[D]

I like that.

[B]

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

[C]

This story comes to us from Massachusetts. A man broke into a car, stole the car, and then was going through it. And he's like, oh, no. Open the trunk. Found a bunch of white powdery substances. He's like, oh, gosh, what do I do? What do I do? Do I just leave it? Yeah, I call police.

[B]

You leave it.

[C]

So he called police, says, hey, man, I. I found this white, powdery substance. It may be illegal. You may want to come check it out. Then they start questioning him, and he's like, actually, I stole the car. I found it.

[B]

That's not what you do. You just leave it. So was he concerned that possibly that was a car owned by the cartel?

[C]

Yes, he was worried about everything. Like, A, if the cops caught him with it, he would get busted.

[B]

B, he already stole a car.

[C]

Or if someone saw him steal the car and they were like, hey, now you're on the hit list. So he was trying to do a good faith thing and call the police.

[B]

I bet you they didn't take that faith good.

[C]

No, they didn't. But then they put the car back surveillance and busted the guy who had the cocaine. So two arrests?

[B]

Yeah. Was the guy cartel or was he just like, low level?

[C]

Low level, but it was 1.1 kilos.

[A]

Yeah, but it always circles back to the bigger people.

[B]

Well, the 1.1 kilos doesn't mean anything to me because one, I don't use that system of measurement, and then two, I don't know drugs and how much it costs. But okay, I don't know. Do we give him a lighter sentence because he was honest about it?

[D]

I think so.

[B]

Is it a Brady Bunch ending?

[D]

He did the good thing, right? Like, he did what you're supposed, but.

[B]

He also stole a car.

[C]

Okay, I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day.
