Bobby Bones
Laney Wilson coming in studio in about 20 minutes. So excited about that. So what we're going to do is do the Anonymous inbox now. So let's start the show with that.
Eddie
It's the Anonymous Inbox.
Bobby Bones
Anonymous Inbox. There's a question to be had. Send it into the hello Bobby Bones. My sister announced to the family that she her boyfriend are pregnant. She just found out they're having a girl. They're going to name her Savory. S A V R Y. Apparently she liked the name Avery but wanted to make it unique. Hence the extra letter. Obviously I don't need to tell you, but this is a terrible name for a baby.
Jason Alexander
Savory.
Bobby Bones
And it spelled like slavery without the.
Jason Alexander
L. Oh no, I know.
Bobby Bones
Okay, sorry. Let me go back to the email. Obviously it's a terrible name for a baby. I politely asked if they were considering any other names. She said no, they'd already decided recently. I gently suggested other options as I'm trying to get closer to my sister. We warmed up to different names and she finally chose Margot after we bonded over a new baby name book. I was relieved until I got to her boyfriend. He sent me an angry text accusing me of meddling. He claimed he chose the name Savory had no right to interfere. I fired back, Am I wrong for convincing my sister to change her baby's name. What can I do now that they're mad at me? Signed future aunt to Baby Savory.
Amy
I mean, you did medal.
Bobby Bones
You'd for sure medal big time. Yeah. So he has a right to be irritated at you.
Jason Alexander
It's his baby.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Jason Alexander
Not yours.
Bobby Bones
More than yours. Yeah, I agree with that. So you meddled with good intentions. We all say the Savage. Pretty dumb name, but it's not her job as a sister to decide if it's a pretty dumb name or not. Honestly, it's pretty dumb name, though. It's a pretty dumb name on multiple levels because, again, Savory. It's like.
Jason Alexander
That'd be like.
Bobby Bones
It's.
Jason Alexander
It tastes good.
Bobby Bones
Exactly what it is, but. But it's also spelled like slavery.
Jason Alexander
That's weird.
Bobby Bones
Like, it's wrong in so many ways.
Amy
Like, if you like the name Avery, just go with that. Like, I know you want to make it different, but what about, you know, Salty Bravery?
Jason Alexander
Oh, bravery.
Eddie
Oh, bravery is pretty good.
Amy
Davory Sweetness Mavery.
Bobby Bones
Go out. You meddled now suffer the consequences. That's basically it. You probably shouldn't have tried to convince your sister to change the baby name to begin with. You could have said, hey, that's a tough name. You understand? The kid's gonna be called Little Slavery or Taste Savory. That's gonna be how the kid lives its life. And once she hears that and accepts it, you just gotta move on. So are you. Were you wrong? I think he had good intentions. But the husband has the right to be mad. We can all agree on that. 100 justice for baby savory. Now, I wanted to be named Savory again because that was the baby's original name. Thank you for the email. That one's on you. But she might just be taking one for the team here, because little Margot will have a much easier life than little Baby Savory. Can we all agree?
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
On the Bobby Bones show now, Lainey Wilson. Lainey, how you been?
Lainey Wilson
I'm good.
Bobby Bones
I feel like Instagram's never a true indicator of how somebody really is. It was all a lot, but it's been, like, awesome. Like, it's. You're doing such cool things now. It's pretty cool. You've always been cool, but now it's like, you're, like, hanging out with really cool people as well. Like, the Miley Cyrus thing was super cool.
Lainey Wilson
Oh, dude.
Bobby Bones
We played a clip of you when you were at my house, like, five years ago. You were Talking about the first time I'd ever heard the story about you doing that as a job. Right. And then to actually see you doing that, like, I don't know, I kind of felt emotional just because you and I talked about that. I'm not even you.
Lainey Wilson
Well, I'll tell you how crazy. Like, last week was just like full circle for me because I got to go back to St. Jude, which was the very last place that I impersonated Hannah Montana and play a little show for the kids in the exact same spot. And the same week as that, I got to honor Miley.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Miley's like an icon.
Lainey Wilson
She is.
Bobby Bones
I mean. Yeah. Do you get. Is it nerve wracking to you? Did you see her seeing you?
Lainey Wilson
Yes. And, like, watching her crying and stuff, like, she don't even know how much of an influence that she was to me. I mean, I did that for five years. We've talked about this, but, like, just.
Bobby Bones
To make money, to have a. Have a chance at a dream, that's it.
Lainey Wilson
I did three or four birthday parties a weekend, and so I felt like I knew her, you know?
Bobby Bones
Did you have the clarity while it was happening because it's so big and it's. There are cameras and television, did you have the clarity to actually go, man, how about my freaking life right now and how far I've come and have great people around me and I've worked really hard and right now is really bizarrely wonderful. As it was happening, did you. Were you able to think about that for a second?
Amy
Yeah.
Lainey Wilson
So we were actually, like backstage while they were like playing a clip of her video and stuff. And they had us on this platform that was going to eventually kind of roll out. And we stood up there for a good like seven minutes. And as I was up there, I had slowed down for like seven minutes that day to really just kind of like take it in. I was like, oh, this is what's happening. How insane. Full circle. I don't think I'll ever get used to stuff like that. One of the highlights so far, did.
Bobby Bones
You feel like, because again, you have forever to do your first and second albums. You know, you have your whole life to come up with songs and reasons to write songs and. But, you know, the last year and a half or so, two years, it's been like such a. A massive success. Like, you really caught on to the point where now you got to get music out. You gotta think of stuff to write and sing. Was this a little different, like, having to come up with all these Songs now that meant something to you.
Lainey Wilson
So I will say, Normally I write 200 songs to get my 12 or whatever it is. And this was definitely, like, quality over quantity. I had to, like, sit down and wrap my head around what is it that I hadn't shared yet.
Bobby Bones
And also, you're so busy, right?
Lainey Wilson
That's it. I was having to bring a lot of writers out to me. A lot of these songs were written at my house here in Nashville on, like, a writer's retreat. And the thing that, like, kept me halfway sane during this crazy time of my life that is constantly changing every day and still continues to was making.
Bobby Bones
This music because it felt consistent. Like, it's the one consistent thing that's been happening over the past 10 years as you've been trying to make music.
Lainey Wilson
It brought me, like, a lot of peace and comfort. It made me feel like I had one foot on the ground.
Bobby Bones
I always am curious about the why people put number one songs, number one on a track list. And so I'm going to play a little bit of Keep up with the Jones real quick. Why. When you're thinking about songs going where, why was this the very first song you put on the record?
Lainey Wilson
Because when we sat down to do this record in the studio, my band got to play on this record. This is the first record that they have ever done. And we have played, oh, my gosh, hundreds of shows together in the past two years since Bell Bottom Country. And it's almost like we knew what was missing from our live show without even talking about it. And so we went into doing this record really wanting to kind of show that, like, a little extra thump, I guess you could say. And I want it to kind of feel like you are listening to a live show.
Bobby Bones
Will you explain what you mean by your band finally got to play? Because most people may think, well, wait, I thought your band would play everybody every song you've ever done.
Lainey Wilson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Why was this a big deal that your band got to play in this record with you as opposed to in the past when your band didn't play?
Lainey Wilson
Yep. So one of my band members has played on my last two records. But I feel like, my gosh, you. You spend time with. With people on the road. You get to know them, they get to know you. You communicate on stage without even talking, even just when it comes to stage presence. And we might change up a little something here, and we just kind of riff off of each other. And I think that chemistry has grown so much that I was like, I want to take a Chance on this by. By putting them in the studio. Every other record we've done, we've used studio musicians, which are absolutely incredible. And we still did. We had double drums on the record, so we brought in Fred eltringham and Rob McNelly, so we had a couple guitars, too.
Bobby Bones
That'd be cool for your band that they know you have the confidence in them because this is going to be around forever. Like, what you just did this record, regardless of what happens to you, you go way up, you go way down. Both. This is always going to exist.
Lainey Wilson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And for you to go, I want you guys to do this to be forever with me. Like, that's got to give them a ton of confidence. Oh.
Lainey Wilson
And when I tell you they truly are, like, incredible musicians, probably after some folks hear this, they'll. They'll probably want them to go play on their record. They're that good.
Bobby Bones
Pretty cool. Last song. I do want to talk about Whiskey Colored Crayon. Why would you end the record with that song?
Lainey Wilson
Because when I think about why I fell in love with country music as a whole, it is truly the storytelling. And I come from a family of teachers. My mom was a teacher, all of my aunts. My daddy even taught for a second, my grandma. I think it's just a. It's a good, like, teacher appreciation kind of song to, like, tag on the end and really just kind of sum up the. Why I love country music so much.
Bobby Bones
And in the way the music affects everybody differently. Like, I hear the story from somebody that had all alcoholic parents and, like, from the kids version more than the teacher's version.
Lainey Wilson
Yep.
Bobby Bones
And so, yeah, that song, that's a really good one. You guys had to finish that song and be like, I think we just did something. Did you feel that way?
Lainey Wilson
Yes. Yeah. They had started the song, and I. And I had to, like, kind of come in and. And help, like, finish the story. And we knew it was special. I think you kind of know when you. When you're, like, sitting down and you get those feels, you kind of feel like the tingle and you're like, is that the holy spirit? What is it? But I had the feelings for sure.
Amy
Even in that clip. No, I mean, I have goosebumps and, like, I was all. I felt all of the emotion.
Bobby Bones
You say goosebumps, and that's what I heard.
Amy
Goosebumps and chills.
Bobby Bones
Oh, chills.
Jason Alexander
I heard this sounded like you said.
Bobby Bones
You had goosebumps and.
Amy
Yeah, I was like, wow, look at you.
Bobby Bones
Colored crayon over there. Herself. No, No, I just thought.
Amy
I feel like that's just gonna hit people from all angles. Like you for sure. The teacher side, the child side, a parent side. Maybe someone that's now sober that's like, oh, wow, you know, now my kids are gonna have different memories of me instead of just.
Lainey Wilson
That's right.
Amy
Alcohol ones.
Lainey Wilson
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
On the Bobby Bones Show. Now, Lainey Wilson, the Good Horses with you and Miranda. You guys write that together?
Lainey Wilson
We did.
Bobby Bones
Do you set a time on a calendar when you're both in town to get together to write? Or is it one of those, hey, are you in town? Let's try to. How did that come together?
Lainey Wilson
She. She called me one day and she's like, I want you to come out to my farm. I want you to take a nap. We're gonna feed you, because her husband can cook. And she said, and if we get around to it, let's write a song. And our buddy Luke Dick was out there, and I took like a 13 hour nap. I'm not even playing. She, like, tucked me in. She said, go to bed, girl. And we just had so much fun, like, living that western way of life that me and her both. Both love just so much and connect on. And as we were sitting there writing this song, we were sitting on, like the balcony of her cabin and three bluebirds flew up and landed on the balcony. And her and Luke kind of looked at each other crazy and said that when they were writing her song Bluebird, that the same exact thing happened.
Bobby Bones
Like it was. Do they feel like it was a sign? Because obviously he didn't write about birds. It's good horses. But they saw that as some sort of indicator of something positive.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Same for you.
Lainey Wilson
Yes. Yeah. It felt special. Yes.
Bobby Bones
She have a bunch of animals up there?
Lainey Wilson
She does. She's got tons of horses and a little bit of everything. Little mini horses. They are so cute.
Bobby Bones
This record as a whole, was it 14 songs?
Lainey Wilson
Yep.
Bobby Bones
What different. What sonically different is a is on this? I mean, what instruments did you use differently? How did you feel like you matured with your sound?
Lainey Wilson
There's been times in my show where I was like, man, I wish I had a song like this to kind of glue these parts together. And so I really thought about that. I mean, I'm going to be singing these songs for a really long time, and I want my live show to be badass.
Bobby Bones
And what song do people sing back.
Lainey Wilson
The loudest now, Man, I'll tell you what, they love them some watermelon moonshine.
Bobby Bones
You can almost just Start it.
Lainey Wilson
Yeah, they can take it. Yeah, it's pretty sweet. That's cool.
Bobby Bones
How often do you take your ears down and listen to the crowd?
Lainey Wilson
Look, my team gets mad at me because they're like, leave your ears in. Like, you're going to end up hurting your hearing. I can't help it. I keep an ear out almost every show because for so long, I wanted that feeling. And I would. I want to, like. I want to hear them.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. I'm so happy for you. Laney's here. Her record is out. It's called Whirlwind. And it's also wild to look and see that you already have seven number ones. Like, I feel like, hey, I'm Bobby. Hi, I'm Lainey. I mean, it feels like that just happened.
Lainey Wilson
We were doing a get up in your backyard.
Bobby Bones
And at the same time, it's also like 20 years, right? It's like two different versions at once. But the fact you've had such, such success, and it's so cool because obviously, you know, eat right now as much as you can, and you're everywhere, and it's cool. It's really cool to see it all pan off for you. All right, there she is, our friend Lainey Wilson. Congratulations.

Bobby Bones
It's time for the good news with Amy.
Lainey Wilson
Tell me something good so there's the.
Amy
Nine year old boy, Derek. His family was vacationing in California and they made it back to Texas and realized Derek left his little stuffed monkey at the hotel in California. Well then they decided to hit up the old church chain because someone that went to their church was vacationing near where the hotel was. So they hit him up and they drove an hour to the hotel. Her name is Josephine Ortega. So shout out to her cuz she picked up the stuffed monkey and then road tripped back to Texas with it. Her and her boyfriend. And they took little photos, like you know the stuff. Monkey got a Dr. Pepper and watched the minions while they were driving. You know, sort of like flat Stanley style.
Bobby Bones
I'm sure the kid loved it. Great for her drive an hour to get that monkey. But they were driving back home anyway, right? They didn't just drive home because they had the monkey. They could have also flown with the monkey if they were flying back.
Amy
Yeah, but they. They drove an hour to the hotel out of their way, then an hour back and then out.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, no, I. I agree.
Lainey Wilson
Super thoughtful.
Bobby Bones
That kid had to be so happy to get his monkey back. I just bought him a new monkey. That's me.
Jason Alexander
Sure. And the monkey got a road trip.
Amy
That's really cool.
Bobby Bones
And minions. Maybe he hadn't seen it yet. All right, Good story. Yeah, great. That's. That meant a lot to that kid. I'm sure that's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good, Amy. What happened?
Amy
So my friend's car was hit and run. Like a hit and run happened right outside of her house. And she had this suspicion that it's one of her neighbors. And so she's. For like all week she's been walking around like trying to see if she saw dents that would match, like the. The damage, you know.
Bobby Bones
Why do you think it was a neighbor?
Amy
Because was it a boom hit and.
Bobby Bones
Run or was it like a. No fender bendy type.
Amy
A fender bender. But like damage enough to where if whoever hit it, they knew. And she just felt like it was where they were parked in the alley, that it had to be someone that parks back there too.
Bobby Bones
Got it.
Amy
And so she's been walking around and she found. She found a car that had matching dents. The whole situation. So, you know, now she's like, how do I handle this? Like, what do I do? And I'm like, I don't know that I say anything. Like, they live right by you. What if it's awkward? Like, why would they just do that? And run. And why are they trying to hide it? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
That's awkward. That is so awkward. Same paint color, I'm assuming. Like, it matches where they could have scraped the side if they were driving.
Amy
Oh, she sent me a picture. As far, yes, it's absolutely. What happened.
Bobby Bones
If you were the judge, would you Judge. Judge that. That's the car that hit her car.
Amy
100. And now the car is like, she did. The reason why she almost didn't notice that one for days, is it parked out front in a different spot? Because she was like, oh, this is normally in the alley.
Bobby Bones
Now I present this evidence.
Amy
And so she believes, like, oh, are they intentionally now parking out front to sort of hope it dies down or maybe till they can get it fixed and make it look like not. But I told her, I don't know that I say anything, but she can't let it go. Like, she's like, this. Who does a hit and run? Who does this? This is crazy. Like, you're risking a felony for.
Bobby Bones
I don't know if it's a felony with a mild, like, scratchy hit and run. You're saying hit and run, as in somebody was in the car, you nailed him, and you drove off. This was like you accidentally scratched someone. You can also go, I didn't know I even scratched them. So I don't felony. I don't throw the word felony around because this ain't a felony.
Amy
Well, she. She was very passionate about that. She just thought, like, why would you risk, like, an even larger charge for something that, yeah, maybe you don't want to pay 500 for the dent to fix it or whatever, but, like, you're facing something far worse. So she's just, like, out for justice right now. And I'm like, let it go. I don't want to be awkward with my neighbor.
Bobby Bones
For damages under 400 bucks, it's a classy misdemeanor. A little more than that, but it's not a felony. For those wondering. You don't.
Eddie
And they probably fled because maybe they've been drinking. They're like, oh, I don't want to get in trouble, so I'd rather suffer the consequences later.
Bobby Bones
Or it could have been a kid was driving the car. One could have been. They don't have the money right now. Their insurance is like, they're all these things. What would I do?
Amy
I don't know.
Bobby Bones
I think I would. I think I'd write a note, and I would put it on a few of the cars around there. I'm gonna go hey, someone has hit my car. If you've seen it, please let me know. I live here at this address. The color of the cars seems to be this. Any information, let me know. And I'd put it on like four or five cars, but I'd be sure to put it on the car that had the scratches because then they know you know, and you didn't just target.
Amy
Them and you didn't have to like, go knock on their door and look.
Bobby Bones
And then they know you know. And then what happens is you go, four or five. Then you go over to them later and go, hey, knock on the door, leave another note. Hey, sorry to bother you. A couple of folks said that maybe somebody was driving your car. Scratch my car. When I put the notes on everyone's car, I just want to check and make did that happen. Because then you have a reason to actually go there. It's not just you accusing. You can blame it on another note. That's if you want justice. If you want real justice. Tire iron. Oh, no, no, that's real justice. That's real justice. I'm not advising real justice. But if she's doing that, that's. If she just goes up and is straight accusatory toward them, you did it. Because maybe they didn't. Maybe everything just happens to be. But maybe they didn't.
Amy
Right. Because not like she has actual footage of it.
Bobby Bones
If I were strategizing, I'd go multiple notes. And in the multiple notes I would go, if anyone has any door cam footage or anything, please let me know. Because all that's going to do is freak out the person that really did it, that someone's going to turn in the door cam footage and they never have to turn it in. And the other person can't prove that they did or didn't turn it in. That's what I do. I'd freak them out and then I'd be like, hey, we have. This is awkward, but some people said that it could have been your car. That scratch, if you're super nice. I think it's taken care of and justice is served.
Amy
Okay.
Bobby Bones
That's what I would do. Like, three levels deep.
Amy
I think I. I can get on board with that sometimes. I don't understand. You're three levels deep. Like, I'm like, what? Why would you go through all of that? Like, just to, like, dance around, whatever. But in this case, I'm. I'm here for it.
Bobby Bones
It's also a neighbor, and you're always gonna have to live by them. Yes.
Amy
And you don't want awkwardness or them to, like, murder you.
Bobby Bones
Yes, murder.
Amy
Yes.
Bobby Bones
Yes. Yeah, let me know if she decides to do that.
Amy
I'll keep you posted.
Bobby Bones
I hope she does. I want to see how my experiments come to life. That would be great. A new poll reveals the best and worst ways to propose. Half people say that the best time to propose is during a romantic dinner. Other good times are during a holiday, on vacation, or during a concert. That's 1, 2, 3, and 4. The worst text phone call at a fast food restaurant or at their parents house. So that's best and worst. And I saw this and I thought, I bet you our listeners have some pretty great stories. And let's go to Renee in Indiana, who's on the phone right now. Renee, thank you for calling. What's going on?
Renee
Well, it wasn't the worst way to propose, but he just didn't put a lot of thought into it. He put the ring box on the dash of his truck and said, it's yours if you want it.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my gosh.
Amy
What?
Bobby Bones
What is going on?
Amy
Someone's mind.
Bobby Bones
I've heard romance. Wow, that's like a movie. Like if Hugh Grant's not starring in that in the next three years.
Amy
And so what did you say?
Renee
Granted, we had just found out I was pregnant And I was 19, he was 20. And I said, yes, of course. We've been married for 33 years now, so.
Bobby Bones
And all that's great and the story around it. I understand all the circumstances, but you know what, taking you to a park and just getting on a knee and saying, hey, will you marry me? That ain't that hard to do. Hey, see that box? Look in it if you like it, all right?
Jason Alexander
It's yours if you want it.
Eddie
He watched 20.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome, though. I appreciate you telling that story and I love that it's worked out and I love that you're probably happily married and you're a goal for everybody that wants to be happily married, you know? Yes.
Renee
Like I said, he just wasn't that kind of a romantic guy. But it's all worked out and I love him to death.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome. Well, thank you for sharing that, Renee. I hope you have a great day.
Renee
Thanks, Bye.
Bobby Bones
All right, see you later. Here's another Renee in Arkansas. Renee, you're on the Bobby Bones Show. What's going on?
Karen
Good morning, Bobby. Good morning, studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Karen
So my husband and I have been married 35 years, and so this did work out, but he too put we were in a truck and he did think he put some thought into it. He put the ring down in his sock. And so as we were driving, we came to a stop, and he threw his leg up on the dash and he said, hey, babe, look in that sock and see what you find.
Amy
Oh, no.
Karen
I said, what? What? I'm digging in your sock. Yeah, get in my sock and see what you find. I kind of anticipated a proposal, but that threw me off. It's like, what is in your sock? And it was a ring.
Bobby Bones
Renee, thank you. Have a great day. Over to Karen in North Dakota. Karen, you're on the Bobby bone show. What's going on?
Karen
So my husband, we've been married almost 26 years, but we had been living together about four years, and we were shopping in best buy, and we were walking, and he said, let's just go check out the rings. And I said, well, why? And he says, because we should probably get married.
Bobby Bones
Oh.
Karen
That was it.
Bobby Bones
Now it's probably.
Karen
That was my proposal.
Bobby Bones
Most loving story. If it's in, like, a rings, like. Like in the movies, they're like at Tiffany's and the guy's like, let's just boom. And all the lights come on, you know? But he was an electronic store, so.
Amy
Probably I didn't even know they had rings at best buy.
Eddie
They don't either do that neither.
Bobby Bones
I don't know. They have screens on them. Maybe it's a ring.
Amy
Or maybe the one of those coras or they had.
Bobby Bones
Rings at best buy.
Lainey Wilson
That's a great point.
Bobby Bones
They had.
Eddie
Did.
Bobby Bones
Was best buy selling different things back then.
Karen
They must have been, because they definitely had rings.
Bobby Bones
Well, and you've been married.
Karen
We didn't get it. We didn't get a ring from there, but we. That's where we. That's where I got proposed to, basically.
Amy
And then when did the ring come?
Karen
I ended up getting my ring. I ended up getting the ring from his mother, who was passed on. So the ring means much more than a best buy ring, but the proposal will always be a best buy proposal.
Amy
Nice.
Bobby Bones
Well, thank you for the story. I hope you have an awesome day.
Karen
Can I tell you something really quick?
Bobby Bones
Would love to hear it. What's going on?
Karen
My granddaughter is 10 and she's in the car. We watch or we listen every single morning on the way to school. And she did tell me this morning when I was trying to call, she said, what is the point of Bobby telling everybody to call if you can't even get through? But I did get through, so I thought that was pretty funny.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Is she there with you now? Can I talk to her?
Karen
She is. Her name is Aubrey. Say hi, Aubry.
Bobby Bones
Hi, Aubry. How's it going? It's Bobby Bones. Guess what? She got through.
Karen
Say hi. You can say hi.
Bobby Bones
It's all right.
Karen
She's being shy.
Bobby Bones
Well, thank you for listening, and we appreciate you calling, and I'm happy to hear your marriage is. Is long and strong.
Karen
Yep. Long and strong.
Bobby Bones
All right. See you later. Thank you for the calls. Ray, you want to do more of these, or you want to just punt on calls? You move on to another subject. We can do it. I'm giving you the keys of the castle. Today we move on to another segment. Steve's smarter than me. I want Ray's opinion. Ray. Oh, no more calls. Because that seemed like a good bookend.
Eddie
That was good.
Jason Alexander
You're gonna stress him out, Buzz.
Bobby Bones
Don't get stressed out. Ray, I was asking you. I was giving you the authority to say, do we want to do another segment or not? I know, but Steve's the executive. No, I know. It's over. My time for you to have a little bit of say so too, like make decisions.
Jason Alexander
He's gonna text his wife and ask her.
Amy
That's what he does, Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Ray, does your wife make all the decisions in your house? She makes a lot of them.
Eddie
Ray can't handle that pressure.
Bobby Bones
Are you not a pressure guy? Are you not a guy that wants to be, you know, the guy that's pulling the strings, making the decisions? I mean, I deal with pressure, but, I mean, if I can defer to somebody else, I do. Why not? Got it. Big defer guy. Are you.
Amy
Does anybody. Has anybody else noticed that Ray's skin is glowing today?
Bobby Bones
I'm assuming he's shiny. I don't know if glowing is the word, but shiny is the word.
Peter Tilden
Thank you.
Amy
Why?
Bobby Bones
I mean, I got this spray. It's like a toner. Yeah, it's, like, wet. I think that's what it is. He just looks wet. He sprays his face.
Jason Alexander
He mists himself.
Bobby Bones
Ray's got product galore in there. It's either products or supplements. We really do in that little room. Ray's our audio guy, by the way, who runs all the sounds here on the show.

Jason Alexander
I feel it in my stomach. It all went down there. But I don't need to burp.
Eddie
I thought I was gonna burp, probably. When I got that money, I was hurting a lot worse than I was trying to look.
Lainey Wilson
That's hard.
Jason Alexander
Like, it doesn't feel good. Bones, I'm very.
Lainey Wilson
Wow.
Bobby Bones
No, no.
Lainey Wilson
There it is.
Bobby Bones
All right, it's time for the good.
Amy
News with producer Eddie.
Bobby Bones
Tell me something good.
Jason Alexander
So a couple weekends ago, Bones, you and I were at Fanatics Fest, right?
Bobby Bones
Yeah. It's big sports, I would say it's like Comic Con for sports. Tom Brady was there talking. Or you can like run the 40 yard dash or you can go look at cards. It's like in every way I'm thinking.
Amy
Like, when I saw it, I was like, oh, this is like BravoCon for.
Bobby Bones
Sports, which is like Comic Con for Bravo. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All that. Yes. It's like.
Jason Alexander
But I didn't know this was happening. Apparently there was a costume contest going on there, and the winner, she dressed up as a Bills fan. But jumping on a table. Her whole costume was a Bills fan jumping on table. Which is what the Bills fans do.
Bobby Bones
They jump off. Like wrestling and wrestling. I mean, when they jump off the top rope onto a person, they jump through tables. Bill's mafia does. That's their thing.
Jason Alexander
And that was her costume. And so she won the first prize, like the main prize. Dude, this prize is crazy. So for the next year, she's got tickets to the super bowl, the World Series and NBA Finals, Stanley Cup Finals, MLS Cup, WrestleMania, and UFC.
Lainey Wilson
Wow.
Jason Alexander
All that she got for that costume contest.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy.
Jason Alexander
This is unbelievable.
Bobby Bones
That's the greatest prize I've ever heard of. Yeah, Go to every one of the championships. That's wild.
Jason Alexander
I thought that was.
Bobby Bones
So I saw the costume. It's pretty good. She's. She's on a table leaning back. It looks like she's falling through it, but she's really not. But it's part of the costume. The table is.
Jason Alexander
Dude, why did we not get dressed up when we went?
Bobby Bones
We weren't going to win or think of anything like that.
Jason Alexander
Dang, that's awesome.
Bobby Bones
That's like lunchbox going, why don't we think of a million dollar idea? Well, we just didn't have them, but yeah. That is the greatest prize I've ever heard. Other than like winning the lottery.
Jason Alexander
No, this is pretty cool, man.
Bobby Bones
That's pretty cool. That's what it's all about. That was. Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning, then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, Lunchbox, more game two. Scooby Steve ran out trying to put.
Jason Alexander
You through.
Bobby Bones
Bobby's on the mic. So you know what? This is the Bobby Bone store. One of our favorite voicemailers, Trucker Joe, left us this message. Hey, Bobby, when somebody wins easy trivia, ain't they supposed to eliminate somebody so.
Karen
Somebody else can play?
Bobby Bones
Correct. Oh, we played our. Our whole first match on Friday in the new season. Oh, Eddie's the champion. Eddie, you can still eliminate somebody. Wow. It doesn't matter who it is.
Jason Alexander
Let me think about this for a second.
Bobby Bones
Because if you win, you get to cut someone. So if you don't cut someone the next five seconds, we're moving on with life.
Jason Alexander
I mean, Amy's my main competitor, so if I cut her, I have a better chance of winning.
Bobby Bones
She did cut you once.
Jason Alexander
Yeah. Let's cut Amy.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Just like that. Trucker Joe brings in the justice.
Lainey Wilson
Hey.
Bobby Bones
Oh, and what does that put Abby in?
Jason Alexander
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, whoever, dude. Really.
Eddie
Just an empty chair.
Bobby Bones
Wow. Justice is sir.
Jason Alexander
Thank you, trucker Joe.
Bobby Bones
And now she's gotta do the morning corny right after that.
Jason Alexander
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no. All right, let's go to the morning Corny. The morning Corny.
Amy
Why was the baby jalapeno shivering?
Bobby Bones
Why was the baby jalapeno shivering?
Amy
He was a little chilly.
Bobby Bones
Tears are falling down her face. That was the morning corny. How do you feel about that, Amy?
Amy
I get it. I had to do it to him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, that's true.
Jason Alexander
It's part of the game.
Amy
It's hard being the competition.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Amy
You know, so I guess it's a compliment.
Bobby Bones
Sure. Yeah. You take that wager. Whatever. Bobby Bone show. Bonehead. Story of the day.
Eddie
This story comes to us from Iowa. A 48 year old man was at home with his dad when his dad was like, hey man, can you cover up your feet? Your feet stink. He said what? He goes, yeah, those are nasty. So the son shot the dad.
Lainey Wilson
What?
Bobby Bones
I would imagine there was some. Some beef prior to the feet.
Jason Alexander
Sure.
Bobby Bones
Stinky argument. I would imagine there is a long history of these two not getting along. And then this was just the final straw.
Eddie
And he did ask him to wash his feet.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Again, I would imagine there was a lot more to it than just the feet thing. Nobody died.
Eddie
No. No one died.
Bobby Bones
We don't allow. We don't allow deaths.
Eddie
No, there's no deaths. That's why this one is allowed. This is why it's allowed.
Bobby Bones
Does anyone stinky feet? Because I do not have stinky feet. My shoes don't stink.
Jason Alexander
Depending on what I wear. Like if I wear shoes without socks for like all Day.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess I never. I never do that. So maybe that's why 100.
Amy
I don't know how people do that.
Eddie
Yeah, I never just throw them on.
Bobby Bones
I feel like it makes the shoes smell long term. Gross.
Jason Alexander
Sure does.
Bobby Bones
Okay. You guys are also boneheads for doing that.
Eddie
I'm lunchbox. That's your bonehead story of the day, Bones.
Bobby Bones
Let's go talk to Mitchell in Knoxville, Tennessee. Mitchell, you're up, buddy.
Mitchell
I don't know if you've noticed this in Nashville, but in Knoxville, there's more and more people running. Not just stop signs, but red lights. So I dropped the kids off at school this morning. On my way back, I was like, I'm just going to pull over this gas station seats, you know, see if I see anybody running. Out of 20 cars, five people ran the red light. And I don't know if you guys are seeing that more in Nashville or not, but it's. It's kind of sketchy. I didn't want to talk about on the radio. I didn't want to entice more people to do it right. But, you know, just wanted to ask you the question. Like, if you pull up to a red light, look both ways and no one's coming, do you run the thing or do you just wait for the green light?
Bobby Bones
Different question. Okay. Okay. I now see what he's saying. Because I. If it's yellow and I'm not too far back, I'm trying to beat it.
Jason Alexander
That's not running red light.
Bobby Bones
That. Because yellow means hurry, right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Unless you're pretty far away, then it means yield slow. It's about to change. But depending where you are in the relationship with the yellow light.
Jason Alexander
Sure.
Bobby Bones
The yellow light means different things. If you're pretty close and there's no car in front of you. Oh. What really burns me up is if somebody's in front, there's plenty of time to get under the yellow and they slam on their brakes.
Peter Tilden
Oh.
Eddie
Oh, that's the worst.
Bobby Bones
That's the worst. Oh, it's like, bro, you could have made it. You easily. I could have made it.
Eddie
Right.
Bobby Bones
And I'm not an aggressive driver.
Amy
That's what I was gonna say. I'm shocked. Medium driver, think you're the yielder at.
Bobby Bones
All times and gotta get somewhere on time at all times.
Amy
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
And if it's safe, yellow doesn't mean slam on your brakes. Yellow means caution. If you're far back, start slowing down because it's about to turn red. But if you're underneath It. Here's a gas. Yeah, they left in parentheses. Here's a gas. So, okay, I thought that's what he meant. Like, people were running the. After it turns red, they just go under. Now, I think it's a different story if you get to a red light and there's nobody around. Yeah. I am a rule follower. If I get to a red light and there's no one around, I do not run the red light. Because I think somewhere behind a bush, there is a police officer that is watching, and I'm gonna get run. So I won't run it. However, I can't. I'm not gonna be mad at somebody who does if there's no reason to sit there. Amy, red light. No one's around. Do you go through it?
Amy
Yes. Listen, not during the normal day.
Bobby Bones
God. Or citizens arrest.
Amy
All right.
Jason Alexander
Huh.
Amy
Like when we're on our way to work and it's early in the morning and there's not that many people on the road, and somehow I'm at some red light that is going to cause me to be late here, and I'm sitting there unnecessarily, and it's. There's not that many people on the road. That is when I do it. But if it's 2pm no, I'm not doing it.
Bobby Bones
Because I don't think any of us are doing it at 2pm Daylight. No. No chance. No. I'm going to sit down and I'm doing it middle of the night, too. But you're saying middle of the night, no one's around. You're gonna go and run through it if you're late.
Amy
Correct.
Bobby Bones
Eddie?
Jason Alexander
3:00Am no problem. 3:00pm not doing it.
Bobby Bones
Do you think twice about it at.
Jason Alexander
3:00Am well, you know, what if I'm like. Sometimes you're, like, coming out of a neighborhood and those lights just don't change for some reason.
Bobby Bones
If you're not back and forth, back and forth.
Jason Alexander
I do that, and you do that 20 times. It's still not changing. I'll look. I mean, if it's more than three minutes, I'm looking like, what's happening here? Okay, I'll go.
Eddie
And what's funny is it's not more than three minutes. It feels like three minutes because you're sitting there.
Bobby Bones
There's 28 seconds, and there's no cars.
Eddie
Going by, but it feels like it's forever. And I'm like, yeah, all right, I'm out of here.
Bobby Bones
What do I.
Eddie
During the day, I've done it where I run it, but but you treat.
Amy
It like a stop sign.
Eddie
I treat it like a stop sign day.
Bobby Bones
You even treat like a stop sign. That's great. And we're not talking about right on red.
Eddie
Right?
Bobby Bones
Cuz that can be treated like a stop sign.
Eddie
Like I'm sitting there and I'm looking and I'm just sitting there. I'm like, there is no one around. This is so dumb. But in the middle of the night if it's dark out. 100%. See ya.
Bobby Bones
Mitchell, we had the conversation.
Mitchell
Yes.
Bobby Bones
How do you feel about our thoughts on what you told us all?
Mitchell
Perfect. I agree with everything. It's lots red for a long period of time. Probably running it. But more of the story is look both ways because you don't know who's coming and who's going to respect the light. Right?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I think the larger moral of the story, even more than just traffic, is look both ways because you never know who's coming.
Jason Alexander
That's right.
