[Bobby Bones]

There's a big meeting in our office today. What do you mean all hands meeting?

[Eddie]

What?

[Amy]

What does that mean?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know about it either, but we're working from my house today because I have stuff I have to do right after the show. It's closer to my house, so I know about the meeting. And they're like, everybody Needs to be at this place like 10:30. And we just finished our show, so we're not. Hasn't happened yet. But Scuba Steve's like, I'll go represent the show. I don't know what's gonna happen.

[Eddie]

Appreciate that.

[Bobby Bones]

So I don't know what's gonna happen.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Scuba Steve, are you there?

[Eddie]

Are you there? Hello?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I'm here. Is this something? A late night message you got? No, I got it yesterday. I believe it's because we have some changing of the guard within the local cluster. And so they're just gonna go over, I think, talk about strategy and sales and. Oh, it's not. And see how we're doing. It's not a bad one.

[Ad Council Announcer]

Probably five more people.

[Bobby Bones]

It's not, but it's really. You're just making a joke. Yeah, I'm just kidding. Yeah, you know, not a funny joke. I'm often. I'm often for jokes. Yeah. Yeah, that's a bad one. That one didn't hit, huh? No, no, no. Last time laughing, though.

[Eddie]

He likes it.

[Bobby Bones]

If it happens, it happens. His life. So I guess he'll report to us what's happened.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, everybody in the building has to go to one of those. All right, let's go around the room. Nah, I don't know.

[Amy]

Mine's so light.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. All right. All right. We'll rebuild trust.

[Amy]

This is more for you and Eddie and Lunchbox. I think maybe Morgan, I don't know. Y' all like pickles, right?

[Eddie]

Love pickles.

[Bobby Bones]

Big pickle. Guys love a pickle. Put it in my hole.

[Amy]

I don't love pickles.

[Eddie]

And why?

[Bobby Bones]

Because she ate too many as a kid?

[Amy]

No, it wasn't too many. I had one of the big ones when I was in the pep squad, and for whatever reason, it made me sick. And when we were driving home, my mom had to pull over and I got sick on the side of the road and I just noticed. However, I will say I had some dill flavored chips the other day.

[Bobby Bones]

Those are good.

[Amy]

So good.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you can do those?

[Amy]

I can do a dill flavored chip. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Growth. Try a pickle. Hey, can we get a pickle next week? I think Amy can eat one in the studio and not be sick by it.

[Eddie]

Come on, Amy.

[Amy]

But I don't want to eat it.

[Eddie]

You could do it.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but we never want to grow because growth is uncomfortable.

[Amy]

Okay, well, you don't like. You don't want to eat mayonnaise, so I'm not going to make you eat mayonnaise.

[Bobby Bones]

I have. It's tough to admit this.

[Amy]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Dabbled in aioli.

[Amy]

Oh, that's mayo based.

[Eddie]

Is it?

[Amy]

Isn't it? With a little garlic?

[Bobby Bones]

I really don't know because I didn't know what aioli was. All I know is anything that's white that does not have dairy in it. I'll try, because I'm looking for any flavor. I'm looking for any dip. So I'm like, aioli. Hmm. Not for me, I don't think. Let me give it a try. And I think there's some, like, mayo elements to it. Mike hit me. Yeah, they have mayonnaise, garlic, and lemon juice. If I can do aioli, you can do a pickle.

[Amy]

Okay, I'll give it a try.

[Eddie]

We believe in you, Amy.

[Amy]

What kind of pickle?

[Bobby Bones]

A big, fat Vlasic.

[Amy]

Okay, well, so. So here's.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that a thing still? Yeah.

[Amy]

Here's my story.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Scuba, can we get a big fat Vlasic on, like, Tuesday or Wednesday show next week and have Amy eat a pickle? Oh, I can get you a fat pickle. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Oh, my.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not even in the same room. Just two of us over. Two today. No, I'm saying downstairs there's a Whole Foods. I can grab a pickle right now. Is Amy there in the building? I know, but she. So we're just gonna hold it for three to four days?

[Robert Smigel]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I mean, pickles don't go bad. They're in jars. They last for a long period of time.

[Eddie]

Hey, he wasn't joking, okay?

[Amy]

I was being serious.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think he was paying attention. He was working on his computer is what I think was happening. Amy, go ahead.

[Amy]

So Smoothie King is partnering with Grillo's Pickles for a limited edition pickle smoothie.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you it's probably good. Even though it seems disgusting.

[Amy]

It blends Grillo's pickles with ingredients like bananas, kale, and coconut water. And.

[Bobby Bones]

Seems too green for me. My wife likes green smoothies. I hate green smoothies because there's not enough fruit. I like my stuff sweet, but I bet you if you're a green smoothie person, that's pretty good. Kale, though, makes it green.

[Amy]

The bananas will help balance it out just a little.

[Bobby Bones]

And the coconut water, I need berries to. No, coconut water doesn't balance. It just hydrates.

[Amy]

Oh, it's sweet. Coconut water's sweet? Yes, it.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what's sweet? It is Pepsi.

[Eddie]

Coconut water is not sweet.

[Amy]

Coconut water is sweet.

[Bobby Bones]

I drink coconut Water on the reg. It ain't that sweet.

[Amy]

It's not coconut water this morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe it's because your taste buds are so green that it's sweeter than what you normally have.

[Amy]

No, I just think coconut water has a sweetness to it. It also has sugar. Google Mike. How much. How many grams of sugar are natural?

[Bobby Bones]

Sugar from the coconut. Yeah, we'll have to agree to disagree.

[Amy]

We shall.

[Bobby Bones]

So they're doing a pickle smoothie.

[Amy]

Yeah. So if you're into pickles, then you might want to try this smoothie king collaboration. And what did y' all put on your pickle? Snow cones.

[Eddie]

Oh, that was a strawberry snow cone

[Bobby Bones]

with pickle juice and little pickles in it.

[Amy]

No, you would put that Tajin or.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, pepper powder.

[Amy]

Yeah, yeah. Chili powder. So I bet with this, like a little chili powder in there.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta do the strawberry, though, if you're gonna do chili powder with the pickle. Otherwise you're just drinking a green smoothie with pickle.

[Eddie]

But. But that snow cone, you could do it with any flavor. For us, it was the strawberry, but

[Bobby Bones]

I think that was their main.

[Eddie]

Was it? That was their base.

[Bobby Bones]

Their base. Because I would have never tried that.

[Eddie]

So good, man. It. It doesn't sound good, but was so good.

[Amy]

So. See, that was

[Ashley McBride]

easy.

[Amy]

Fun story.

[Bobby Bones]

Good for you.

[Amy]

Light hearted. Good times.

[Bobby Bones]

Good times.

[Amy]

Because I had options.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, I know. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, we're back. Cardi B. Is back.

[Bobby Bones]

He's back on his beat, guys.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. There was a video of her arguing with her baby daddy, Stefan Diggs, outside of a coffee shop in Maryland. She was heard cursing at him, yelling, and she responded, said, look, I sometimes forget I'm famous, and I was just hangry. So it got a little bit blown out of proportion. Everybody relax. They're not getting back together. They were just, you know, I guess, meeting up, talking about kid. I don't know, maybe he was seeing the kid. But she said, look, I was hangry. Have you never yelled at your baby daddy when you're hangry?

[Bobby Bones]

I have not. I have not yelled at my baby daddy.

[Eddie]

Not in public.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. There's no way she forgets she's famous.

[Eddie]

I bet you do sometimes.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet you don't really. I am not famous. I'm slightly known. And I am always aware that anything I do in public could be recorded and I could be highlighted as the idiot I am if I. Idiot in public.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Send. It's made no sense, but you get it.

[Eddie]

I get what you're saying, but you're you're smart. You think about that stuff. People that kind of just, like, live their life, like, whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

But she's really famous. Wildly famous, where everywhere she goes, people look. That doesn't happen to me. People look sometimes and they'll go, look, oh, who is. Do I know him? Or they'll be like, hey, I'm a fan. Or they'll record. But it's not like that. Like, everywhere she goes, she's probably reminded how famous she is. I don't believe that. I think she probably got in a fight but didn't care. But if you're that famous, you.

[Eddie]

You know, and then how mad to be yelling and, like, at a coffee shop publicly.

[Bobby Bones]

I know, but I guess you're probably not meeting them if it's not in public. If you have a bad relationship, a strained relationship, based on what had happened with them.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

At the Super Bowl. Remember that crap?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, welcome back, Cardi B. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Good to see her.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome back to the fold, Eddie.

[Eddie]

Man, this is crazy. So this is back to my hometown, McAllen, Texas. A couple, they're a married couple, got arrested for throwing a party for their kids after prom. There must have been, like, 30 kids there, and they were serving alcohol. Cops got called by a neighbor, said that you might want to check this house out. Looks like minors are drinking. Cops show up, the parents are there. The parents are the ones that bought all the alcohol. So 22 minors got MIPS. Is that what that is?

[Amy]

Minor in possession.

[Eddie]

And then the parents got arrested.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm torn. Can't do that. By law, if kids are abs. Excuse me, I think I'm drunk this morning. If kids are absolutely going to drink, would you rather them drink in an area that has physical boundaries? They cannot drive with people overseeing the kids. That's the question, right? Illegally, no, but unless they're so loud, unless they're out in the yard peeing or breaking stuff, why would you call and tell?

[Amy]

Because maybe they were being disruptive.

[Eddie]

Maybe.

[Amy]

Right.

[Eddie]

But, like, if a neighborhood's normally quiet and then there's just a rager going on, you're going to call the cops.

[Bobby Bones]

If it wasn't super rager and you knew what was going on, I would hope the neighbors wouldn't call. Call, because I feel like that's a responsible parent. How old were the kids?

[Eddie]

They were in high school, man.

[Bobby Bones]

I just feel like that's a responsible parent because those kids are going to drink anyway. Can we agree to that? Yes. They're going to go somewhere.

[Amy]

This has been a question for parents Like, I agree.

[Eddie]

I'm not.

[Amy]

This time.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not. Right.

[Amy]

I'm not saying a lot of parents juggle this. Well. They're going to do it anyway. And it's like,

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

Did your parents, Amy, like, ever allow you guys to drink at the house?

[Amy]

My dad. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

One of them.

[Eddie]

One of them.

[Amy]

My mom.

[Eddie]

No, because, like, my parents didn't. But there were so many parents that were cool with it.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. So many. Like, I can name. I can name them. I can name the houses right now.

[Eddie]

I remember our party after prom was at somebody's house. Their parents were there. We all got wasted. It was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Did anybody drive away?

[Eddie]

No. Did we all stay there?

[Bobby Bones]

Was it part of the deal that you could drink if you stayed in?

[Amy]

So some parents would collect keys and would be really strict about it, and then others did not.

[Bobby Bones]

So I would like to say the parents that are only wanting to be cool, I don't. I don't cosign that. The parents that are going, I'm going to make a decision based on my children and what I know about them and their friends. They're going to find a way to drink anyway. So we're going to do it. There are physical boundaries. You cannot walk out of these boundaries. I have your keys. You do it. We'll protect you. I don't mind that. And this is for somebody who's never drank. I feel like we're mitigating some of the death risk for kids, and we're mitigating some of the death risk for people that are out driving on the road that don't know their drunk kids driving at them, that could crash into them.

[Amy]

Right. I mean, these days, a lot of parents, though, I mean, I don't know. I. I'm like Eddie, where. I know there were so many houses that allowed that when I was in high school, but now with lawsuits, no way.

[Bobby Bones]

Absolutely. I agree.

[Amy]

It's very different. Like, which. Maybe they were happening back then, I don't know. Or they just ramped up. But, like, it's scary to even want to be the house that's trying to be responsible. Because if one accident goes wrong. So maybe you take their keys, but is there. Or do you have a body of water? Do you have a. Like, on your property? Because some people have ranches or farms and they've got lakes or they have a pool or they have.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't leave the house. I agree. What you're saying makes a lot of

[Amy]

sense, but an accident happens and then you're Held liable. I've just heard of horror stories of like, oh, man, they were trying to give the kids a safe place to hang, and then the kid fell in the water and then died. And then now the parents are in a lawsuit.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think that is very, very, very rare.

[Amy]

Very rare. But it's just something you have to consider if you're going to be the host of the event like that.

[Eddie]

I just say it's not worth being the host ever.

[Bobby Bones]

But what about if your kids went to a thing where a parent was locking them in and they were drinking? You also can say, no, I'm not.

[Amy]

I don't have any bodies of water.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not right on this. I just feel like that's my feeling. I would rather, again, I'll use the word, mitigate the risk of anybody dying or killing somebody. Because kids are gonna do stupid things regardless because they're kids and you can hold a blind eye to it. But just because you're going, don't see it. Probably not happening, does not mean it's not happening.

[Amy]

When I think back on the houses that did allow it and the parents, it's like a. It's like 50, 50 of like some of the kids, it made them really responsible with alcohol. And like they didn't see it as this crazy deal. When they went off to college, they weren't wild and crazy about it because their parents just kind of low key, like allowed them to have a cocktail at dinner or European culture.

[Bobby Bones]

Way less alcoholism, way less parents.

[Amy]

And you go, yes, to another country or somewhere. You can order a drink at 18. So you, you let them try sips of things. And it's not just this taboo situation. But then when I think of some of the other kids, like, they were pretty messed up. But I think those are the houses where maybe the parents just didn't really care. And they were drinking too. And alcohol was problematic in their family.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because.

[Amy]

And it's sort of 50, 50, like some of those kids, like I said, no problem with alcohol, totally handled it well. And it's probably good for them that it was integrated into their life the way it was. And then others are hot mess.

[Bobby Bones]

There's also a genetic element. That's what I mean in that as well. So it doesn't matter really what the parent situation is. Even if everything was controlled in a perfect environment, they're still probably gonna have trouble with it.

[Amy]

That's what I mean. When I'm thinking back on those kids and how they turned out, I'm like Well, wait a second. Their parents were literally, like, drinking with us, you know, and a little not as responsible, and they probably themselves had an issue, and then their kid passed on to their kids.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't co sign the cool parents that just want to hang and let the kids drink with them. Yeah, that's not for me. I'm saying I would be okay with a safe space if you felt there was going to be drinking to eliminate the risk of them killing somebody or somebody or killing themselves. Because if they're leaving and drinking and driving, I'm okay with that. It'd be hard for me to say no to that, because I feel like that it's a bit of a compromise. It's illegal. So I'd like to also say that,

[Amy]

yes, that's the main thing. It's illegal.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's see. That was lunch boxes. Have we done Eddie?

[Amy]

That was Eddie's.

[Eddie]

That was me.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie. You guys, I always get. Everybody starts talking, and I forget who does what, so forgive me. Lunchbox. Did cardi b. That's right.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, I got a couple. This one is for you.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

It's about hantavirus. Al Roker said on the Today show that the CDC has travelers returning from his flight to voluntary test for hantavirus after flying home from his daughter's wedding.

[Amy]

Yeah. Why is this for me?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're obsessed with the hantavirus.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I'm like. Well, and if they're asking people, random people, to voluntarily test.

[Amy]

Well, so then if they. If they do, do they have to go to the. Where they have to. What's the confinement plate? The quarantine place?

[Bobby Bones]

Only if it's positive.

[Amy]

The national quarantine unit.

[Bobby Bones]

Only if it's possible.

[Eddie]

Where was this party? Like, where are they coming from?

[Amy]

A wedding in France.

[Eddie]

France. Okay.

[Amy]

So that's what I've been intrigued by, is I think we're gonna be okay. But, like, the people that are quarantined, I can't decide if it's, like, awesome for them or not. I mean, I'm sure it's a little scary, but.

[Bobby Bones]

No. None. None. Awesome.

[Amy]

Oh.

[Eddie]

I mean, when I was quarantined with COVID it was kind of fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, that's because that was early. You knew you weren't gonna die.

[Eddie]

And I was in my bedro.

[Amy]

I can think of 10 moms right now that would be like a national quarantine unit. I get to stay in my room for how many days? And there's. There's a. There's A peloton bike, a TV.

[Bobby Bones]

If you have hantavirus, you're gonna die. Most likely 50%.

[Eddie]

Okay, then I'm not.

[Amy]

Some of the people quarantine, I guess they don't know if they.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, and if you do, it pops positive when you're quarantined.

[Amy]

Okay, you're right.

[Bobby Bones]

They risk a death.

[Amy]

I know. I don't want to make light of a serious situation. I'm just saying.

[Bobby Bones]

You just said ride a peloton.

[Amy]

Well, the guy I saw in quarantine, Jake, he has a stationary bike in his room.

[Eddie]

Ah, that sounds fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good. Yeah, you make a good point. Symptoms?

[Eddie]

Symptoms.

[Bobby Bones]

It's respiratory. Respiratory.

[Eddie]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Lungs filled with water.

[Eddie]

Oh, with water.

[Bobby Bones]

Die.

[Eddie]

He's like. You're drowning. You basically drown.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, there's other symptoms with it, but

[Amy]

if there are people. Are there people that survive it?

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. I think it's like a 30 to 50% was what I've read. Exactly it. Yeah. What is it? 30. 30 to 50.

[Eddie]

What's the 30? Death or live?

[Bobby Bones]

No death. It's all death. 30 to 50. But there's a 3 and 10 chance. Hey, Eddie.

[Eddie]

No, no, we're not playing this. What, you're gonna, what, are you gonna roll a dice?

[Amy]

Are you drawing a pizza?

[Bobby Bones]

No, pick a number out of what I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna write three numbers down,

[Eddie]

and you said out of third, so. Out of ten.

[Bobby Bones]

So all you have to do is guess one number. But if you. There's three of these here. If you hit one of the numbers, you die.

[Eddie]

Any number.

[Bobby Bones]

One number. One through ten, go.

[Eddie]

Oh, gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

But if you pick one of the three I have here. You died. It's 30%.

[Eddie]

Okay, so I just get one shot?

[Bobby Bones]

One shot.

[Eddie]

Eight.

[Bobby Bones]

You lived?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you see my numbers? Uh huh. Oh, lunchbox. Pick a number.

[Lunchbox]

8.

[Eddie]

Smart.

[Bobby Bones]

That's the exact one to do. That's right. Good job.

[Eddie]

That's smart.

[Amy]

That's smart. I wouldn't have done that. I wouldn't have done that. Not gonna lie.

[Bobby Bones]

Good job. Good job. My numbers were 2, 6, and 1.

[Eddie]

Oh, wow. My second would have been 3, but

[Bobby Bones]

you don't want to have to do that. 3 and 6 chance.

[Eddie]

That's not fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Or 3 and 10 chance. Okay, so that was the first. Another story is nearly half of Americans are lacking fun in their lives. Is there a fun drought in your life?

[Amy]

I could probably use a little more fun.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, that's sad.

[Eddie]

It is sad. But I mean, it's real though, dude. It's Real.

[Bobby Bones]

I could use more fun. I don't really do anything fun.

[Amy]

Yeah, I could use a little more fun. Like, I'm.

[Bobby Bones]

I enjoy some things that I do. Like, I enjoy my job, but it's not fun.

[Amy]

It's more fun than other jobs.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't hate it. I enjoy my job, but I don't go, Whoo. This is gonna be. I can't wait. This is gonna be crazy fun. I could use a little more fun right now. Weird time, baby, but I'm just not a fun guy anyway.

[Amy]

Yeah. I'm trying to think if, like, there's anything on my calendar where I'm like, cannot wait for that. Don't have it yet.

[Eddie]

Nope.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I don't either.

[Amy]

Like, I don't even know what I'm gonna do for vacation, and it's stressing me out because I don't want another year to go by where I just don't do anything.

[Eddie]

What are you gonna say? And you have what?

[Bobby Bones]

Same. I have a baby.

[Eddie]

Oh, you have a baby.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're just kind of like, what? Well, we don't know. Like, we travel with her yet. It's new, so we don't know.

[Eddie]

Whatever. Whatever the doctor says, right? I mean, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you can. We're just thinking, do we want to travel with her? Where do we want to go? Yeah, we'll do something. But yeah, same. Just different Fun.

[Eddie]

No, dude, drought, for sure. And I told you that even if I did have, like, a vacation thing planned, I'd be like, it's just gonna be five days, and then I'm gonna come back to everyday life. And it's not like, like you said, the job's great.

[Amy]

I think this is your. This is your low T, though.

[Eddie]

You think so?

[Amy]

Yeah, because you're. I get it. I, I, I.

[Eddie]

Because I tried to create fun guys. Like, I have the karaoke machine. I try to get it going, and then some kid punches another kid, and it's like, in your house? Yes. And now you ruined the fun guys. Like, and then it's like, why'd you do that? And then do 10 push ups. I don't want to do 10 push ups. Then the whole night's ruined.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Anything fun?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I love fun, man. I got a lot of fun in my life. I mean, my life is nothing but fun.

[Bobby Bones]

What's fun?

[Lunchbox]

I mean, I get to nap. Soccer, golf, neighborhood parties. I mean, everything. Sports, kids, sports.

[Bobby Bones]

He's looking for fun. Yeah. You're living the dream.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Good for you, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, so on the Podcast version of this. You're going to hear a couple things. I think we'll do Ashley McBride. She was awesome today. And you'll hear me talk about her performance. You won't hear the performance. You have to go to YouTube to watch it. There's that. I did a. We'll call it. I don't want to say Inside Baseball, but In the weeds. Q and A that we're putting on here, that you'll hear that. And I think in the weeds of what?

[Amy]

In the weeds of, like, dad life or work life.

[Bobby Bones]

Or for me, like, work life.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because people are asking. It's specific, like, really specific work questions that nobody cares about to talk about here. But I did, like, 15 minutes of it, and people really liked it. They were like, oh, I had no idea that that was a part. Maybe you should listen to it sometime.

[Amy]

I'll check it out.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there you go. Hang around. We'll just play in your ears.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And we'll watch you listen to it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Bones go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Ashley McBride]

Ashley McBride.

[Bobby Bones]

Ashley, good to see you again as always.

[Ashley McBride]

Oh, it's good to see you. How are you feeling? Are you okay? You rested?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I'm good.

[Ashley McBride]

Isn't it wonderful?

[Bobby Bones]

Those onesies that you got our daughter are so funny. They're so funny.

[Amy]

The tattoos.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And she just grew out of them now, but she definitely wore them and people thought they were. They're like, where did you get the tattoo? I was like, no, Those are Ashley McBride onesie. So my wife. Super thankful. We got many good laughs.

[Ashley McBride]

They were so cute.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they got so. Thank you for asking about me. This is not about me, though. This is about you.

[Ashley McBride]

It's okay if things are.

[Bobby Bones]

I understand. I want to make something else about me then. Is that okay?

[Ashley McBride]

Okay. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I'd like to have, if it's okay with you, you to name a drink after me at your bar.

[Jewel]

Sure.

[Bobby Bones]

I got some ideas.

[Ashley McBride]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So Ashley has an NA Bar in Chiefs.

[Ashley McBride]

Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

How about. I got a couple things here. Number one, the Pina Bones. Lada. Okay. Doesn't work for her.

[Ashley McBride]

That feels a little risky.

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Ashley McBride]

I like to see where you're going.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, then what? The Bony Colada? Because I. I don't. I'm always looking for, like, right NA drinks everywhere I go.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Ashley McBride]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. How about the Bone Dry Margarita?

[Ashley McBride]

Bone dry. Bone dry is great. You could do a bone dry martini. A Bone dry margarita.

[Bobby Bones]

How about the Self Deprecating Daiquiri? Self Deprecating Daiquiri Bobby's self deprecating daiquiri.

[Eddie]

That's perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, just think about that.

[Ashley McBride]

Just the way humor comes in the glass.

[Bobby Bones]

The mint bone he to.

[Ashley McBride]

I actually like that.

[Eddie]

That's awesome, dude. I like that one.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys like. That was terrible.

[Lunchbox]

That was the worst one.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah, yeah. The bone Hito is great.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought that was my worst one. Okay, enough about me. I'm a massive fan of yours. I was so happy to see that people were loving your record. I was watching you talk about too. Did you not get to be part of the album release? Were you just on the road or what?

[Ashley McBride]

Just doing work. Just all of the work. The whole parade that goes. All of the months leading up to that, which is 12 of those.

[Bobby Bones]

It took a year to do the

[Ashley McBride]

album, and we did the album and then we just got to have to sit with it for a year. So we have songs that we want to play, you know, that we can't play out yet. And then all of the press and the media and we do the tonight show and we do Kelly Clarkson. We do all the things I'm in a plane. We're not in the bus. Like, plus we're doing a couple shows here and there, but we can't play the new record yet because it's not out. And so all of everything just kind of feels like a holding pattern. Even though you're doing what you love, you can't do the new record yet. So on release day, I had a full day of press and media. And then I was. I had just gotten back from London, so I was still pretty jet lagged, and I couldn't really figure out, like, how to use the microwave. Like, there's very confused, exhausted body. And I guess I seemed sad.

[Bobby Bones]

Who said you were sad? People online or your friends?

[Ashley McBride]

My friends were like, are you okay? And I was like, I'm fine. Which of course, I was like, oh, I know I'm sad. Cause I want to be with the guys. I want to be with Dana and Blakely, and I want to be with our crew. And even though I'm out here keeping the road hot and keeping the skies hot, we're not out here doing it all together a lot of the time. So I want them to feel like they're being celebrated. We made an amazing record that I'm really proud of. And we deserve to drink mocktails and have a cake and have that acknowledged, you know, one. One to another. Hey, look what we did.

[Bobby Bones]

And you weren't feeling.

[Ashley McBride]

I guess I was. I guess I Was sad. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you got to, like, do it now with them and.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah. Being all together and just hugging and. It was true US fashion. Dana brought a cake. We couldn't find forks or plates, but we found a bunch of knives. So we just cut it into little pieces and stabbed it. And people would walk by. We're just, like, eating it with a knife. That was very, very us thing to

[Bobby Bones]

do before you play and you have your guitar. I want to play. What if we don't?

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah, that'd be great.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you kind of give me the story? Because I know you're one of the writers on the song.

[Ashley McBride]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So would you tell me about the song?

[Ashley McBride]

It has to do with that. What if we don't? Is the moment of. Right before you make a decision, and it's not. It's not an easy one. This is a. Do I leave the friend zone, or are we safer here? And in that little bitty moment, anything could happen, because after that moment, you're gonna have to live with the I did take the chance or the I didn't take the chance for the rest of time. And you may ruin that friendship by taking the chance, and you may ruin your chances by not taking it. So it is the possibility that anything could happen that we might regret how far we let it go. But what if we don't? And it just so happens that a few years after this song was written might have been within the same year. Oh, it was four. It was four years later. I got in the situation. So, you know, there's Randall Clay, Terry Jo Box, and I wrote this song, and then we pulled from all areas of our lives. And then later, the question would be asked to me, and I would say no. And then that ended in tragedy. That ended in. It's not like somebody sped away in a car and met their end right then it was the next day and had. I mean, it was just complete freak accident. But that right there really drove the song home in me, because I didn't. And there's no way to know. There's no way to know if that would have ruined everything or if it would have been great. Like, there's just no way to know.

[Bobby Bones]

How long did it take you to write this song?

[Ashley McBride]

Let's see. Out on Terry Jo's patio, We probably spent four hours on it.

[Bobby Bones]

And you wrote it that long ago and you held it because it fit this project.

[Ashley McBride]

Yes. It was one of the songs that we kept it in the live show. And it's tried different iterations. We've Tried having it more keys driven. We've tried having it more guitar driven. We've tried doing this group or that group. We never got it exactly right. Then while we were on the road, we're on the Leather Deluxe tour with Cody, and we were trying out Rattlesnake in front of his audiences and getting it to where it needed to be. And we brought what if we don't back to see what it would do to an audience that's not inherently ours. You know, that we're exposing our music to his fans. So with no frame of reference, what does this song do to a crowd? And it moves. And I was like, I knew it. It's a hit. We have to cut this. We have to cut it. We have to go. It doesn't have to be a new song to be the song that belongs on this record. It was one of the first songs I chose for record five. It was right up there with Rattlesnake and Water in the River.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would you even think to pull this song? Because again, you've written so many songs, four or five years, I'd imagine you've written 100 songs. I'm just throwing a number out there. Oh, yeah. What about this song, though? Just kept making it, like, pop back up to play, to try. Because you have so many songs do

[Ashley McBride]

that with the Rudy effect. You know, the Rudy. Like, I know this song can. I know it can. I know it can move. I know it can move us as we play it. I know it can move audiences. I. It's not a love song. It's not a cheating song. It's none of the easy ammo. It's a what if song. And I know that it. It didn't get its chance. And if you'll just give it its chance, then everybody will be rooting for it.

[Bobby Bones]

We're gonna play it now. I love her doing all the work there. All the heavy lifting for the song was done. Ashley McBride is in studio. She's gonna play in just a second, but let's play that now here on the Bobby Bones Show. Here is what if we don't. On the Bobby Bones show now, Ashley McBride. When you put out a new record, Ashley, do you get on at, like 12:05 to see what people are saying, or will you give it the next day?

[Ashley McBride]

Oh, I cover my eyes for at least 24 hours because this is a record that I've made with my guys, and I'm so proud of it. And shame on me if I let anything taint that, at least for 24 hours. I am proud of this record. That's what I need to know. Jono is proud of this record. My band is proud of this record. My team is proud of this record. And what Carol thinks about it's none of my business.

[Bobby Bones]

Classic Carol. Always jumping in with her opinions.

[Ashley McBride]

Here she is with her box wine.

[Bobby Bones]

Classic Carol. I would love for you to play Arkansas Mud. Would you do that?

[Ashley McBride]

I would do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Ashley and I are both from Arkansas, everybody, in case you're wondering.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I got it. Makes sense.

[Ashley McBride]

It turns out this song is incredibly hard to play without a band because there's so much like double time halftime. But that's okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a bell foot.

[Ashley McBride]

Tambourines exist.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you're good though.

[Ashley McBride]

We found it. Look at this. I mean, that's.

[Bobby Bones]

She has a tambourine strap to her boot.

[Ashley McBride]

That is correct. Sorry, I just hit the mic.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so I want to tell everybody what we're doing here. So she has taken a microphone and built a very small stand going right over the top of her foot. Now she has a bell stand taped, strapped to her foot. And then she's playing. She's doing all this herself. What I think of is, you know that old thing of the one man band where you have it? Ashley's a one man band right now. Oh, my gosh.

[Ashley McBride]

If we can get symbols for my knees, we have made it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, I'm gonna be quiet now. Here she is, Ashley McBride with Arkansas Mud. Oh, I'm sorry we can't post the live performance on the podcast, but if you go to our YouTube page, you can watch it there or maybe listen live. Okay. All right, now back to the podcast. Yes. There he is. Man, that is awesome. You're awesome.

[Ashley McBride]

I love how the E string was just like, meh sometimes. I'm also very sharp while you're banging on me.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, not a single one of us heard that.

[Ashley McBride]

No, I'm remove the tambourine for my foot for our safety.

[Bobby Bones]

That's funny. Every time she answers or gets passionate, you hear, ching, ching, ching, Bones

[Liberty Mutual Spokesperson]

and Doug. There's nowhere I wouldn't go to help someone customize and save on car insurance with Liberty Mutual if it means sitting front row at a comedy show.

[Ashley McBride]

Hey, everyone, check out this guy and his bird. What is this, your first date?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no.

There are times when the mind becomes a difficult place to live. This is David Eagleman with the Inner Cosmos podcast. And for Mental Health Awareness Month, we're dedicating a series to understanding the mind when it struggles. I'm joined by doctors, researchers, and those with lived experience. We'll talk with singer songwriter Jewel about anxiety.

[Jewel]

I started living in my car and then my car got stolen. I was shoplifting. I was having panic attacks. I was agoraphobic.

[David Eagleman]

And making it through hardship to be

[Jewel]

present is a learned skill and it's hard to Be present.

[David Eagleman]

We'll talk with John Nelson about clinical depression and the brain implant that saved his life.

[Bobby Bones]

What I learned is the procedure made me happy because I'm disease free.

[David Eagleman]

This is a month of deeply personal and honest conversations about what happens when the brain goes off course and what we can do about it. Listen to intercosmos on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

You're announcing the new tour, so you're doing the End of the Wild tour.

[Ashley McBride]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So when you do. Yeah, when you do your shows, I feel like you're like such a sophisticated thinker and writer. Like, where do you do, like the. The songs that casuals know?

[Ashley McBride]

The accidental. Accidental fans. Like, casual fans. Where do we put those?

[Bobby Bones]

If it's like. Well, no, if it's like someone's like, I know the song about the room key now I'm gonna go watch Ashley McBride. And where do you put those songs

[Ashley McBride]

that needs to be in the first three?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, really?

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You hit it hard at the very beginning.

[Ashley McBride]

Well, it needs to be something familiar. So we usually, we start with a statement and whatever that statement is. And I like the statement to be, you've arrived. And that's usually very loud.

[Bobby Bones]

So you want to come hard then. Loud and Right.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah. That way, if you weren't in your seat, that's not my fault. And. But then a couple songs in, especially if they're like, is this the girl that, like, leaves lights on all the time in her house, especially where food is prepared, you want to make sure that they recognize. Especially if we were to start the show with Blackout Betty or Arkansas Mud, you're like, I think I came to a different show because there's such a diversity in what we're really good at, and country music has such a diverse range of what that is. So if we hit it hard at the beginning with a rock song, I do want to give you a mid tempo that you're super familiar with in the first three or four.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you ever want to be a preacher?

[Ashley McBride]

I wanted to make sure that that never, ever happened, that you were never a preacher, that it could never be confused as anything even close to it. But. And in fact, when I was. When I went away and there was a spiritual counselor there where I went, and she said, one of these days you're going to walk Back into a church and you're going to share your story. And I said, only if you're in attendance, darlin. You know, that kind of thing. But back in the day, North Little Rock, Arkansas, a bar called Reno's Argenta Main street, this guy had come in, he's in like painter's clothes, you know, like carpenter's pants, that's what they look like. You could hang tools on them. And it was all one color kind of cream, it was colored stain paint all over it. He came in and he was like, hey, what time do you start, sweetheart? And I was like, in 20 minutes. He handed me a hundred dollar bill and he said, start right now. And I said, it's no problem, no problem. I'll just be. Dang, it's 10 o'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock.

[Ashley McBride]

And throughout the show, he kept coming back to the tip jar, which was the red gas can. And he would say things. We're starving for you. Where have you been? Don't you know you're supposed to be here? And then he bought the whole bar, round of shots. When he did that, I said, hey, I would like to tell the people in attendance tonight who to thank for their whiskey. And he said, it doesn't come from me, it comes from the Lord. And I said, okay, congratulations everybody. You can thank Jesus for your fireball. And, and just being very, you know, irreverent and very casual about it. On my break, four hour set, on my break, he came up and he said, would you let me pray with you right now? I don't know this man. He's probably almost 60. And I was raised in the, in the church and I absolutely. If my, if your amen has my name next to it, then I could use that help, whatever that is. That's putting that on your heart. That's a real thing. And so I put my hands in his and I said, of course. He said, did you know God chose you? And I said, yes, I do. I know God chose me. And he said, no, not as the entertainer. You're the accidental preacher. And I said, well, I hope not. And we prayed together and I finished the show and I never saw him again. But by the end of the show, he had put 15 of those $100 bills in the gas can. And this was at a time that I had to choose between making rent and buying groceries. I had to save money to get reflux medication because it was $60 a bottle and I couldn't afford it. I had two things in my fridge. I had a jug of powder like Gatorade, and I had a six pack of PBR in bottles. And that was because I dog sat for someone. I had nothing. So the whole. When he said that, all of that happening around each other, me saying, I hope I could never be confused, for that is not a completely accurate statement, because what he said to me that night was really important. And I don't go around preaching about sobriety, and I don't go around preaching about preaching. And I want everyone to feel like they belong and like it's okay to be anywhere I am, no matter who you are. And if that were to be confused with establishing a message, then I would be okay with that.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you ever feel like you weren't supposed to be around places you were in? Did people make you feel that way?

[Ashley McBride]

Oh, yes. I've been in some really interesting situations. I never really took into consideration how small 53 is because I'm larger than life.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, I would have bet you're way taller than that because you're larger than life.

[Ashley McBride]

Thank you. Thank you. And I have a big mouth, and I have a big energy, right? And I've talked myself out of as many fights as I've nearly talked myself into. And by saying things like, you can hit me, but you're gonna hate the way I take a punch. But I got in a truck one night in my truck. I had loaded up my gear. It was after the bouncers had taken the trash out, so. Big mistake. I should have been gone by then. All my gears in there. There's nobody in this gravel parking lot. And I went to go close the door of my Tundra, and a big, big drunk guy was between the door and the frame. Now I know what size 53 is because. And he's hammered. So it does not matter how hard I push or if I hit him square in the nose, none of this is going to phase this guy. And I'm not pulling this door closed unless he says I get to. And that'll piss me off. Unless. Who says? But that's why I keep a taser in the. In the cup holder. It works every time. Have you ever had every time? One of one times.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Ashley McBride]

One of one time. And I hope he's still in that parking lot.

[Bobby Bones]

You had to use it in. That's the time you used it.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just grabbed it and stuck it in his thigh because that's what. What's funny is when I bought it, we went to, like, a show, like a weapons show. Like, you do at one of, like, at the whatever center in Conway or whatever. And I got, you know, I was like, oh, it's a cute little taser thing. And it was just still in my cup holder.

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't, like, practice, like, grabbing just.

[Ashley McBride]

No, I usually practice, like, situational awareness.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ashley McBride]

I keep. I don't know what the actual name of that is. They are collapsible. They are metal. I think they've. They're an asp. Asp, maybe they are called. And they're illegal in some places, so you got to know, like, I keep, like, a stick. Yeah. Like a billy club. But they. They extend.

[Amy]

Oh, okay.

[Ashley McBride]

And so I've always kept ways because I was by myself.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ashley McBride]

Just me and my truck and sometimes my dog. So I've always kept ways to keep myself safe, but that we literally bought as a joke, and I was happy to have it.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. That's crazy.

[Ashley McBride]

It's not gonna hurt the dude, but it's gonna change his mind.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna hurt him. It's not gonna injure him.

[Ashley McBride]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Ashley McBride]

Right. Nothing that cannot be quickly recovered from. Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

When you put this record out, what did you not expect to get from people that you got from people who

[Ashley McBride]

maybe I expected a little pushback on? The Bottle tells me so.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Ashley McBride]

Because I've made it a point to not soapbox about not drinking. And so I tried to be really careful there.

[Amy]

That.

[Ashley McBride]

That isn't preachy, and it isn't soapboxy. It just is a statement that there was a problem. And I think the thing that has surprised me most right now at live shows is the number of people singing so loud during Bottle tells me so. And for some of those people that are singing, their bottle isn't a bottle, it's a something else. And you can see it. Which means that there is a moment happening there with us together that is super healing. Nodding like, come here and I will lay hands on you and heal you. It just. Something hurts a little less after that song.

[Bobby Bones]

The album is called Wild. The tour is into the wild, right?

[Ashley McBride]

Yes. Yeah. You nailed it.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, so the album was out. Just came out. And the tour is into the wild. Just announced 26 dates. You can go to ashleymcbride.com or to her socials. McBride with a Y.

[Ashley McBride]

That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

McBride with a Y. McBride with a Y. I am such fan. I hope this album does everything that you want it to do. Maybe it already has. Maybe it already has. I don't know. But I'm such a fan. And thanks. And I got so Many nice messages to, you know, I have a story. We all have our stories, but we kind of told our story together on my Netflix show. And I hear about that more than just about anything I've done in years.

[Ashley McBride]

I get so many messages about that episode. So thank you. Thanks for having me, and thanks for having that conversation with me, because it's helping. It's helping others.

[Bobby Bones]

I think there's a real safety in talking about something with someone who's also experienced a version of it.

[Ashley McBride]

Oh, absolutely.

[Bobby Bones]

And that for me, that was the safety. Like talking to you about my version of my story. There's safety in that because I know it's not even so much judgment. It's just like understanding and empathy more than sympathy. I get plenty of sympathy knowing that

[Ashley McBride]

there's space for it without anything around that, like, there's room for it.

[Bobby Bones]

So I really appreciate it.

[Ashley McBride]

I appreciate you doing it. I thought about that for days after we spoke. And the more messages that I've gotten, I'm just tickled and thrilled that. That it's encouraging others to talk.

[Bobby Bones]

There she is, the wonderful Belle on her boot. Ashley McBride.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Ashley McBride]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, guys, before I do the FAQs that I'm about to do here, I kept calling them FYQs because I was getting for you page and frequently asked questions mixed up. So I'm not going to change it. But every time I say that, just know, one, I know I'm an idiot, and two, that's where the confusion was. FAQ is Frequently Asked questions. That's what I meant. FYP is the for you page. Okay, Here you go. Enjoy.

[Ashley McBride]

Bobby Bones.

[Rider Strong]

This Bobby Bones show.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, everybody. We're going to do a FYQ on questions that I get that are very inside. In the industry, we call it inside baseball, even though it's not about baseball. But it's like way inside that I don't think most people would actually care to hear the answers to. But I do get these questions a lot. So over the past couple of months, I've made a list here. The first one is not super inside, but it is what is new in your life. Now, I tell you what I did today, before I get to the inside stuff. This is just a little bit of life chum. We have a baby, and we have a car seat for the baby. And today was a big day because we actually took the newborn insert out, and now there is no newborn insert. So the baby's getting bigger. The craziest thing about the baby getting bigger is that her Ears are getting bigger, which is wild because her ears are always like this big. And last night I was looking at her, I was like, her ears aren't that big anymore. So that's what's new in my life now. My life is dominated by baby right now. And even like Internet drama, et cetera. I don't even pay attention to it right now. I can't. I don't have time for it because it's just like I work all day and then in the afternoon and then we go home and we. I don't want to say have raise, take care of the baby, but it's crazy too, because they're so small, but they're also growing so fast that everything kind of hurts a little bit. Through Growing Pains. Also a great show back in the day. So that's the quick update on life now. FYQ is one way or another, these questions get asked about kind of my career inside the question, what's annoying to you but you put up with it in your career? I think the thing that's most annoying to me and I understand the value of it and I put up with it, is on the Bobby Bone show podcast feed. And for those that don't know, I've been doing a podcast for around 20 years. I've been doing the radio show, but I've been so dedicated to the podcast of our show, meaning not just repurposing the radio show, which a lot of people do, but we have been so dedicated for 20 years on supplementing it, doing different shows, podcast friendly shows that aren't segments from the radio show. I've been so dedicated to it, and it's why it's really large. I think if we took the radio show off and just had the podcast, it would just be a massive podcast. But I don't think people think about us as that because it's the radio show first in most people's minds. But we have worked on that podcast so hard for so many years. And I am somebody who is a bit OCD about I like things to be the same. In my perfect world, that podcast feed would have nothing but Bobby Bones show files. Now I don't own that feed. My company, which I love, iheartradio, pays me a substantial amount of money and they own the feed. So there are things and decisions that they make that I understand. Doesn't mean I have to like them. For example, random podcasts get put up on that feed. Sometimes the company owns it. So they go, we have a massive feed. We're gonna like launch a show on your feed. Or even like some of the shows from my podcast network, they get put on the feed and I'm like, oh, this is driving me crazy. I like it to be clean. So that's something that I understand. I can absolutely see the value in that to the company. And since the company owns the feed, because I don't own 51% of it, I own some, but not 51% of it. So they have it. That's it. So that is something that is so inside that I don't think I've ever talked about. If it were up to me, that feed would just be the Bobby Bones Show. So another thing about the podcast feed. Oh man, we're going way inside here. Is that there was a time a few years ago into a couple years ago, I was getting a lot of complaints that the podcast wouldn't go up until way late in the day if it was like 1 or 2pm so what we started to do was we'd finish the first half of the show and we would put the first half of the podcast, the show up on the podcast. Then we'd put the whole thing as a second file and then we would do a second show. So now there are three files up there. I didn't like to duplicate part of the show, which is what was happening, but we wanted to get something up early. Where that got me in trouble was, and we stopped doing that after about a year and a half. Is that because I work for a corporation, you can't actually have less than you did the year before. Streams ads, revenue so when I stopped doing that, first half of the show goes up and the whole show goes up and then there's a third file. I still had to have three files up there. And then we just went one show. It was just two files for like a year. And it looked like the podcast numbers had dropped off significantly. Even though each episode was doing better. We used to have three files up there that they'd be able to sell ads on. And so it looked to the company like our podcast was trending way down. So now what we do is we do basically a 50 minute show that's live on the radio. We do a 50 minute to an hour second show that's just podcast. And then we super extend our tell me something good segment, which I think is my favorite thing that we do. And that's usually around 25 minutes to 30 minutes. And people would go, well, why don't you make that a whole just two and a half hour clip every day, because then it would only get the number of streams for the one file. And the company would be like, you're going way down. But that's why that's like that on the feed. I kind of walked myself into a trap there when I was trying to do the early part of the show and the late part of the show. So that's what's up. That's so again, that's inside baseball. Another one is something you hate doing for work that you never talk about. The thing for me that's most awkward, the thing that comes to my mind first is I hate asking people to collab on Instagram posts because I feel like I'm begging. And so if someone does the Bobbycast or the Bobby Bones show, and on Instagram, you can tag somebody or you can invite to collab, I always feel weird about inviting to collab because I'm going to think that they think I expect them to also push this through to their feed. And, like, I tell my guys, like, we'll do it once, or if they want to, a lot of times they want to because my feed has 1.2 million followers. And so I'm gonna put it on mine and we shoot it really high quality. So sometimes they want it and we'll talk to them ahead of time. But if they don't want it, I just feel really awkward about asking people to collab on Instagram posts. So will usually do or ask for one. I haven't even been doing that recently. Like, unless they don't ask, I don't do it because that feels weird. So that's what I hate doing because I just don't want people I don't know. But that kind of is gross to me. Another one is, do you like talking about Dancing with the Stars? I don't mind it. I think I do it in pockets sometimes. I love it. If somebody has an experience that's similar and they did the show as well, that's fun for me because I like to hear other people's experiences. There are three, four, five, six months at a time where I don't talk about it. And I think I went for a couple years, really without talking about it at all. But then I just kept getting brought back into the mix over and over again, and it was never positive. And then it was, well, if I'm going to take all this for negative, I should at least be able to use some of this content for myself. So I don't mind talking about it. Sometimes people are shocked by it and Then that's kind of fun. If they're like, you were on that show. And I'm like, yeah, I want it. And they're like, oh, my God, that's fun. But I kind of feel like that's like my body like a back road. Like, I'll talk about it the rest of my life, even if I really don't want to, I don't mind doing it. I don't lead with it. But a lot of times, especially if it's people who don't know anything about country music or anything about what I do or books or that's the thing that goes first in a headline for somebody who knows nothing about me, a headline that I don't write. So they'll go Dancing with the Stars champion, and they'll want to ask about that. So, yeah, I don't mind talking about it sometimes. I love talking about it, but I don't normally bring it up out of nowhere unless I think it's going to get me to a place where whomever I'm talking to is either going to give me something or it makes us comfortable. Whenever Danica McKellar was in, who was Winnie Cooper. And she's written books, and she's great. She was a great guest. I knew she was on the show. I knew she had, like, broken a rib. And that is something that I can talk about with her. And I know that she's gonna feel comfortable, she's gonna love telling the story, and it's gonna allow us to get to another place because we've been, like, in a conversation together, we've enjoyed it, and it allows me to move around a little more. So, yeah, I like talking about it sometimes, but I know I'm going to talk about it for the rest of my life if I like it or not. So what is the most bizarre part of your job? So if you remove the things that I think people think the answer would be of, you know, doing a podcast on Netflix that's watched by millions of people, eating at restaurants where people, like, film you and, like, all that's bizarre, although. So I've been able to grow with that a little bit. Meaning when I'm in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and that's where I started. 105.9 Klaz in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Nobody cared. Small town. I just did nights. You get, like, two people a month that'd be like, hey, are you Billy Bones on the radio? And I'd be like, oh, it'd make my day.

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They'd be like, that's great. No picture or anything because there were no camera phones. And then as I went to Little Rock and had a little more notoriety, it really started for me in Austin. And then you start to get. People want to take pictures with you, but then people also are going to talk bad about you. Like that part of the business starts because the higher your platform, the more everybody's going to talk about you, period. Some people are going to be mad you have it, some people are going to like that you have it. But as the platform lifts, more people see you, more people see you, more people have things to say. I've been able to grow with that from nobody caring at all to a few people caring to. Sometimes people care to. Now it's pretty regular that people say hi or want to take a picture or something. Normal as can be. For my wife, that was the really abnormal thing is she didn't get to grow into it. So when we go to dinner and someone's recording us, and you can always tell when someone holds their phone like this, because most people, if I'm looking at my phone, for those that are watching, if you're listening, I'm looking at my phone like a normal person. I'm kind of bent over whenever the phone comes up like this. You don't look at your phone this way. And that's how you can know somebody's recording you. And so if we're sitting at dinner and someone's phone pops up, like, my wife doesn't like that at all. She doesn't like to be recorded. I don't even notice anymore. But at first I was like, not a big deal. But I realized she didn't get to grow into that. Okay, thank you. They're recording me right now. So that's a bizarre part of it, I think, for her. But I think the weirdest, weirdest part is that if I'm anywhere, I have to have security with me. And it's also not something that I talk about a whole lot because nobody cares. But I've had enough. I've had more than enough instances and incidents that to my company, I am a bottom line, if something were to happen to me, there would temporarily be significant revenue loss. There is insurance on me from my company, not because they like me as a person, although a lot of them do, but because if I were to go down, they would lose a lot of money. So there's insurance on me for that insurance to happen because of all the instances that I've had with people trying to kill me, jump me Death threats. There's security with me all the time. And that's weird for me because it's just me. Like, what's gonna happen now? We've had some real close calls. And, like, you know, I do an iHeart Festival, which we did. My guy's with me all the time. Everywhere I go in the building, I get there. My guy's with me all the time. So that is bizarre. That's a bizarre thing. I understand it. It's like the podcast thing. I understand why the company has to have it. There have been enough instances where I've been almost beat up or almost died that they want to make sure that their investment is protected. So, yeah, I think that's a bizarre part of my job that I don't talk about often because it feels douchey to walk around with a bodyguard. I got a good one, though. He will F you up, though, dude, seriously. Do you know the good episodes and the bad episodes of the Bobby cast? That's a question. No, Kinda. I know the ones that I enjoy doing, but sometimes the joy that I have in doing it does not translate because maybe somebody's humor doesn't translate or it's not as enjoyed as much as I enjoy it. Also, there are times I come in and I am roasted, just exhausted. Didn't get sleep. Show went long, something happened, and I get in the room and I'm having. My brain's not clicking and I finish it and I'm like, terrible. What a terrible episode that was. It turns out it's pretty great. People will tell me that there are some where I'm like, man, that was so much fun. Nailed it. And people are like, yeah, it's fine, it's fine. So I think most of the time I know when it's a good one, but I don't always know because a lot of it depends on when I get to the room, how I'm feeling. But one that I really enjoyed recently, and I don't know how it's going to be interpreted. I haven't seen the edit or anything. Was. It's not out yet, but depending on when you see this Vanessa Carlton, she did. Making my way downtown Walking fast paces Faces pass as they go by Dun dun dun dun dun dun she did a thousand miles. Probably the biggest song we've ever had in the room, honestly. And we've had massive stars, but I think that's. That song's ubiquitous. It's everywhere. And so she doesn't do any press almost never. And she came in very dry. Sense of humor, and I just really enjoyed it because she also had pauses when she answered, which made it feel a little uncomfortable at first. We kind of got the rhythm down. She also was like, no bs. She was also funny. She was like, I'll play a thousand miles first just so I can get it over with, basically, is what she said. I appreciated that. To me, that was an episode that I really enjoyed. I don't know how you guys will take it, because she communicated a little differently than most people do in an interview. So a lot of times I can tell. Sometimes I miss. Sometimes I think the ones are great aren't, and sometimes the ones I think are terrible end up being good. And that's mostly, though, if I just. I just was exhausted going into the room, which I really try not to be. But sometimes, if we can only get them at a certain point, we have to schedule them up against, like, five hours of other work. So that's some real inside stuff. But I wanted to answer some of those because I get those same type questions all the time. And for the eight people that will watch this fyq super inside information about Bobby's career. Thank you for watching Bones. All right, voicemail.

[Ashley McBride]

Why is Eddie so condescending to everybody?

[Bobby Bones]

He's not the best game player. He just gets lucky. But he is rude and condescending.

[Ashley McBride]

Love the show.

[Bobby Bones]

Bye. Dang. Is that the impression people are getting of you now?

[Rider Strong]

How?

[Eddie]

I don't understand. What am I doing that's rude and condescending?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, any answer there?

[Amy]

I guess. Does somebody have an example of his. Of him being condescending?

[Eddie]

Yeah, we need that.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it during games when he wins, he gets cocky?

[Amy]

Well, he definitely has a little bit of that, but he's confident. He's always had that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's confidence.

[Bobby Bones]

But you do it after.

[Eddie]

After I win. Yeah, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, give me the next one.

[Ashley McBride]

Years ago, Amy's cousin made a prediction

[Bobby Bones]

about when Bobby Bones would get married,

[Ashley McBride]

and he didn't even know Caitlyn yet. So I wonder if that envelope was ever opened. Just curious.

[Bobby Bones]

Two different things. One, did your psychic cousin, to your best recollection, nail when I was gonna get married?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

That was so long ago.

[Amy]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, there was an envelope for that one, too. Man, we love envelopes on this show.

[Amy]

Where's the envelope?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it was a bit. Amy has a psychic cousin. Show of hands. Who believes Amy's cousin is psychic?

[Eddie]

Not me.

[Amy]

I mean, I do. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, my God.

[Eddie]

Just. Morgan.

[Amy]

I just Think she has a gift. She has a gift.

[Bobby Bones]

So I. I'm gonna raise my hand.

[Eddie]

You're gonna raise your hand.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't believe you. I don't believe in psychics, but I do believe that some people have the ability to read.

[Amy]

It's a different dimension.

[Bobby Bones]

It's tough. It's tough, man.

[Eddie]

Don't raise your hand.

[Bobby Bones]

It's tough. I know. I hear you.

[Amy]

Her level of consciousness goes to a place that most can't get.

[Eddie]

She talks to the dead, too.

[Amy]

Yeah, but she's had conversations with my mom and her mom and other people's mom. There's somebody we work with, actually, that lives in New York. We just saw her at I Heart Country Festival, and I guess she had a thing with my cousin, and she was like, somebody that had passed away in her life. She was like. She was telling me things that nobody would know. Like, nobody. And I was like, oh, that's crazy. You talked to my cousin? I had no idea this person even talked with her.

[Bobby Bones]

We can't prove Amy's cousin is lying. We can't.

[Amy]

Well, but this woman that works with us, she was saying nobody would know the stuff my cousin was saying about the person that died.

[Bobby Bones]

I hear you. I'm not. I don't know, for me, as somebody who. I gotta see it.

[Amy]

I get it.

[Bobby Bones]

I know it's tough.

[Eddie]

Are you raising your hand?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm halfway. Let's go to our historian, Mike D. What do you see over there? She did predict the month you were gonna get engaged. Get engaged. And did I get engaged that month? Yes, you did.

[Amy]

Okay. Yeah. I think I do recall that now. And that was a pretty wild.

[Bobby Bones]

And it was way, way, way past.

[David Eagleman]

Now.

[Amy]

You remember predict. Yeah, now. Yes, now I do recall. I've been sitting here thinking about the different. Because we've done a lot of different things, bits with her or timelines. And there was one that never made it to air. It wasn't about anything. Like, she wasn't. We weren't interviewing her, and she was making any sort of predictions. It was just at my house. Something you had going on in your life, Bobby. And she told me it was gonna happen, and then it happened.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't remember that one.

[Amy]

Well, yeah, because it wasn't on air.

[Bobby Bones]

Did I ever know that one? Was it kept from me?

[Amy]

I don't think so. I think I probably told Caitlin, or maybe I didn't want to say anything until after because it just felt, like, weird. But I already. I sort of knew. And then. Then you announced you were like, yeah, this is happening. And I was like, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even know what it is.

[Amy]

I know. I don't think you would care if I said, because it's not anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Give it a run. Okay. Then don't go.

[Eddie]

You wouldn't care.

[Bobby Bones]

You wouldn't care.

[Amy]

Okay. You were moving, and. Okay. But you weren't in the It. You weren't moving yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

And then you moved, and it sort of didn't make sense because, like, I didn't think that the move would happen. And then all of a sudden, there was conversation of, like, we're moving. And I was like, what the.

[Eddie]

So the prediction was about him moving?

[Ashley McBride]

Yeah.

[Amy]

And I was like, no, no, he's not gonna move.

[Bobby Bones]

Because to be fair, I've moved basically every two or three years my entire life because we had to move. Growing up, we moved everywhere. We couldn't stay in a place for long. No apartment, trailer, wherever. We always had to move. Got kicked out.

[Amy]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

So when I got to be an adult, I kept moving. Just kept moving. So. But.

[Amy]

But I just felt like there. You wouldn't leave this place because it didn't make sense, because, like, yeah, that's

[Bobby Bones]

a long building it up.

[Amy]

And then you got married there. Like, everything just made sense, like, you wouldn't move. And then she was like, no, no, they're moving.

[Eddie]

But Amy. It would be like a sidekick being like, Amy's gonna hit something with her car.

[Lunchbox]

Yes.

[Eddie]

In the future. Near future.

[Amy]

No. But nobody predicted Bobby and Caitlin moving at that point. They had.

[Bobby Bones]

We keep finding reasons to go. No, no, no.

[Rider Strong]

When.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe we should just be open to the idea that it maybe.

[Lunchbox]

Can I. Can I. I did a little research.

[Amy]

She also said Lunchbox wasn't gonna get a car. And.

[Lunchbox]

And she said that I would choose a different career path by the end of the year in 2020. On the engagement, she said if Bobby. Bobby will either get engaged late this year or early next year. That gives her a whole window.

[Amy]

No, we wrote it down. We wrote down the month.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we wrote down the month because I didn't know it.

[Lunchbox]

I am just looking at the Bobby Bone show website, and whoever does our website, that is the quote they put. So I'm just going off the research.

[Amy]

Well, then that's not tracking the bit entirely because. Yes, Eddie, as we were thinking about this, I do have memory and recall of how it happened. And she had texted me or sent, like, an exact month, and I held it secret. Didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

She didn't even tell me because she knew I would Fight it. And purposely not get engaged that month just to prove her wrong.

[Amy]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

And she was right.

[Amy]

If I told Bobby the month, he'll be like, yeah, I'll show her.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, I definitely would have fought it. Might have fought hard. Anyway, Amy has a psychic cousin, but she's been nailing some stuff we don't know for sure.

[Amy]

I mean, also, she'll even say she's like, I'm not going to get everything, but.

[Eddie]

But if you're psychic, why don't you get everything right?

[Amy]

Because it's fuzzy up there in the

[Eddie]

different chance or luck. Yeah, you miss some, you win some, you get some. But you're psychic.

[Bobby Bones]

No business gets everything right. Like, you could be the greatest baseball player. You're not gonna throw all strikes even if you're trying.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, okay.

[Amy]

It's the dead people stuff that really gets me.

[Bobby Bones]

You mean to talk to dead people

[Amy]

knowing things that people aren't. She's not supposed to know about our co workers grandmother in New York. Like they don't know each other. It's not like she could Google like, oh, let me research about this person's.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, wind chimes all around.

[Amy]

I don't know, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what's up. Thank you for the voicemails. Leave us one anytime. Eight, seven, seven, seven. Bobby, that's it. Thank you, everybody. We will see you tomorrow on the show. Tomorrow we'll do obviously the fun stuff for Friday, but there's a.

[Eddie]

[Amy]

We're gonna have fun for a show Friday morning. Dance party's fun.

[Eddie]

It is fun.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And Nico Moon will be an awesome interview I think you guys will love. So that's it. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Bye, everybody.
