  • Eddie: Now does the “California roll” at stop signs in neighborhoods due to his wife's habit, although he admits it's not for society’s good.

    “Why are we making complete stops in neighborhoods where there are no cars around? It’s a waste of time.” (08:45)

  • Lunchbox: Says “don’t die” after runs, inherited from his wife.

And now for a bit of breaking news. Between your breaking news with me, the Geico Gecko, here are some things you ought to know today.

As Beth and Rip begin to build a future together. Peace will have to wait as they face corruption, danger and a ruthless rival ranch willing to protect its secrets at all costs. Legacy is a beautiful thing, but only if it survives. Dutton Ranch, starring Cole Hauser, Kelly Reilly, Annette Bening and Ed Harris. Now streaming on Paramount. Welcome to Tuesday's show morning Studio.

[Eddie]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's say you're drinking something out of a can and you've pretty much drank it all. So the last part of the liquid, but you're holding that can up and something then comes down and hits your lip in the can.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you want to know what that is?

[Amy]

I'm gonna need to know because I need to know if I need to go to the doctor.

[Bobby Bones]

That's good. I think part of me, because I do think there is ignorance and bliss is bliss. I do think at times in my life, yes. The less I know, the better. But that's a good point about the doctor.

[Amy]

Yeah. Because one time I was listening to Armchair Expert and they had a listener call in to like share some crazy story that happened to them, and they drank an entire thing of their water jug, like a Stanley full of water. And I. And there was a rat at the bottom.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're gonna love this. This sailor in Norfolk was drinking a can of monster energy. And according to the story, a rat, a dead rat was in it.

[Amy]

See, now you need to go to the doctor.

[Eddie]

This is common.

[Amy]

You need it.

[Eddie]

What is happening?

[Amy]

I. I don't know. But like, yeah, that's. I've been terrified of that ever since I heard that episode WTKR with the story.

[Bobby Bones]

John Witt, 29, said he buys the drinks from 711 and he became sick after a full size rat, bottom of the can.

[Eddie]

Whoa. Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

He has since filed a report with the fda, I would think, and I don't know. This is not scientific what I'm about to say. And I'm gonna say all the words like allegedly. Okay, so I don't know what I'm talking about. I would think if there was a rat and a monster energy drink, that monster energy would end up eating the rat before the rat could actually come out of the can. All the chemicals, like all the stuff

[Amy]

in the energy drink, that's what happened.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no. There would be no rat to hit your lip.

[Amy]

Oh, but it can't fully dissolve.

[Bobby Bones]

I would think that energy drinks, that's hardcore.

[Amy]

Oh, it's not like you're picturing like when they put bodies in the barrel. I don't think.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think it's acid anymore. I think it's monster energy. Whenever they do that in movies, monster

[Amy]

energy can't be that bad because, I mean, when you would drink it, it would like burn your esophagus.

[Bobby Bones]

I like monster energy. I'm just saying I know what I'm getting into when I drink one.

[Amy]

Right?

[Bobby Bones]

But yeah, there was a rat in the can.

[Eddie]

Is this automatic? Check for that virus. I mean, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Right? Okay, so that story sucks, right?

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, how about a grandma fighting off an intruder? You want this one? Let's go from Kir 7. This is a grandma you don't want to mess with. A Tacoma grandmother held her own against a shot and bleeding intruder who had been on the run from the cops for at least two days. This 23 year old who's a wanted felon named Skyler ran police vehicles, was shot in the shoulder, fled. They couldn't catch him. They finally cornered him and he ducked into a grandma's home, grabbed one of her toddler grandchildren by the arm, struggled with the woman for five minutes. The grandma pushed, blocked, punched, bit, yelled for police, and just continued to fight him until he gave himself up. Nobody was hurt. The grandma wasn't hurt. The kids weren't hurt.

[Amy]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

All that's odd.

[Eddie]

I don't want to take much away from the grandma because that's awesome. But he was injured. He'd already been shot.

[Bobby Bones]

He took some from the grandma. You just took some from the grandma.

[Eddie]

It's kind of like a one armed

[Bobby Bones]

dude, but if you're hurt, you're even crazier.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

I would think you sort of adrenaline pushes through and you also.

[Bobby Bones]

How about that? The cop shot him and then he got away for a whole day.

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy that you don't. What's up with. Is Tacoma where the. They lost Nancy Guthrie?

[Eddie]

No, that's Tucson. Oh, Tacoma's Washington.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, good point, Good point, good point, good point, good point. Yeah. Shout out grandma. Not shout out rats.

[Eddie]

No, no, Bones, it's the anonymous symb

[Bobby Bones]

Been Bo. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby.

[Geico Gecko]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife says drive safe every single time I leave the house. And now I say it to everybody. What's a phrase habit or weird thing you picked up from your spouse or partner? Signed a copycat in Ohio. Okay, we can go around the room. I think the trait that I've picked up from my wife, though mostly is not sending one word text with no sort of like punctuation. I just generally would do that to people.

[Amy]

Like not.

[Bobby Bones]

Not to be rude, but it's like, yes. Nope, go. She's like, you have to add a little. Add more words to it just so people feel the warmth. Because even if you're not trying to be warm, it can be really cold. So I think I. Because of my wife's encouragement and she does this. I. My texts are. Have a. A few more words and punctuation to them. So I would say added warmth is because of my wife. I think she's changed that habit of me. That's what comes to mind. You.

[Amy]

Well, it's got to be something from. I don't have a partner right now. When. When I did have latest boyfriend get on it. If he didn't know the answer to something, like he would always say, you know, I don't know the answer to that. And I picked that up at my house, especially with my kids. Ask me something. Instead of just being like, well, I don't know, or saying something I wasn't really sure. I would pause and be like, I don't know the answer to that. And I always thought it was a thoughtful way to answer. And then we would figure out the answer together.

[Bobby Bones]

It'd be cool if society did that as a whole. Just go, you know, I don't know. But let me, let me do a little figuring it out.

[Amy]

But it's always like that tone like that. That was the cadence. I don't know the answer to that. And always helped me feel. I don't know, there was some warmth about it. Yeah. And so I started doing that even with my kids. And it would lead to more curiosity of like, let's figure that out and we don't have to always know.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

Yeah, mine's not like, it's not good for society. But my wife has always just ran stop light stop signs in neighborhoods like California roll, like a little roll. Right. Like you're in a neighborhood, you see a stop sign.

[Bobby Bones]

His wife under the bus in a segment about him.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And she's just like, why stop in the neighborhood? Like, there's cars. I look both ways, but there's no need to do a complete stop. And I hated this idea. Now I do it. It's so smart. Why are we making complete stops in neighborhoods where there are no cars around? It's a waste of time. So I started doing that.

[Amy]

The police started popping people in my neighborhood for that.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that would be a reason not to do it then.

[Eddie]

No, no. You look to see if there's anything and if there's nothing, just.

[Amy]

I get it. There's a stop sign in my neighborhood that it's a four way stop that everybody kind of rolls through. And I think some neighbor got sick of it, so they called the police and they were hiding out. And I kept. I was walking my dog one day and kept hearing like, they just were pulling over people.

[Lunchbox]

No way.

[Freddy]

Yes.

[Amy]

Because I was like, what are those sirens? And then when I turned the corner and I saw with my dog, like, oh, there's a police officer. And I definitely roll through that stop sign at times because it's right by my house.

[Bobby Bones]

What's crazy is they'll never have to do that again. But that story will live for years. And people in the neighborhood remember that is the stop sign where they bust you. Yep. Okay. Well, Eddie. Ah, man, that's a bad one.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's not.

[Bobby Bones]

Your wife has convinced you to run.

[Eddie]

Stop signs. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah. Whenever I go for a run, my wife would always say, don't die. And so now, like, I don't know why, but, like, after a soccer game, my team's leaving. They're like, all right, see you guys later. I'm like, don't die because it's like, your goodbye, like, after the game. I don't know. It feels weird, but you're trying to encourage them to be safe out there.

[Eddie]

Is this, like, drive safe, like, hatching,

[Amy]

like, such a negative word to, like, a see you later? Like, it could be like, yeah, be safe. Like, I want to hear that over don't die.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Amy]

Now I have my head. Like, I'm going to die.

[Bobby Bones]

Don't suffer a massive tragedy. All right, so you say that too. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Say it now. I'm just like, hey, guys, don't die. See you next week.

[Bobby Bones]

I think if you're going to go running, though, hers comes from a place where you're extremely vulnerable as a piece of organic matter running on the side of the road when a car can crash into you and kill you.

[Amy]

Running stop signs.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. With Eddie's wife out there, you never know.

[Eddie]

Me now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. All right. Email us anytime, by the way. Thank you. Close it up. This guy took out an insurance policy on his dead wife. He didn't kill her.

[Amy]

Yeah, but I don't think you can do that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, can you do that?

[Bobby Bones]

No. You go to jail. That's what happened.

[Eddie]

There you go.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just like that. He didn't kill her. Because that's the story we hear. A lot of times someone takes out an insurance policy or they have an existing insurance policy, and then they murder their person to get the money. This guy just waited after she died and then took one out.

[Eddie]

Huh.

[Bobby Bones]

Guy from North Dakota is pleading guilty after he took out a life insurance policy on his dead wife. Prosecutors say this guy, John, took out a $225,000 policy through Mutual of Omaha about two months after his wife died.

[Eddie]

What a dummy.

[Amy]

He was like, oh, shoot.

[Guest]

Oh, shoot.

[Amy]

I gotta go do this.

[Bobby Bones]

Investigators say tried to collect on the policy about a week later. See, he went too hard and fast.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No patience.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. He signed documents pretending to be his wife.

[Amy]

Dang.

[Bobby Bones]

He claimed he told insurance agents about it. That's what's up. At least he didn't kill her. That's what I see.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because a lot of these stories are they murdered them for the money.

[Amy]

Yeah. So she died in her own way, organically. And then he had like a. Oh,

[Bobby Bones]

I wonder if he like saved her body.

[Amy]

Shoot.

[Eddie]

Right? Like preserved it.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't like turn it in as officially dead.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Oh, to like the morgue. Because there files the death certificate.

[Bobby Bones]

The Grim reaper.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't go to the Grim Reaper when you die.

[Eddie]

With his thing with a stickle.

[Amy]

Yeah, no, but I guess I just didn't know if like through the corner. How. How they officially declare someone dead. Like, but it's got to be that way. I mean, my siblings took care of my mom and my dad. I wasn't the one in charge of that. Like, have we filed for their insurance?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy's drawing insurance on her dad right now.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

KX. Net with that story. Okay, here's another one. This guy goes to a fortune telling machine and the fortune telling machine gives him lucky numbers.

[Kaylee]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And then he hits a million dollar lottery prize. Wow. Now, to be fair, was 30 years later. Oh. But he kept playing the numbers over and over again for 30 years. And then he hit the million dollar lottery prize.

[Amy]

He was committed.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbo takes dedication. You always say if you. That's why you have to stay consistent. I'm glad he did because it paid off. So he probably made 30 years. He probably made $500,000. I'd say that's incredible. And one day I need it. I. It needs to happen to me.

[Bobby Bones]

About 30 years ago, he was in Vegas. He went to that zolar machine like in the movie Big.

[Eddie]

No way. That one.

[Bobby Bones]

And gave him the numbers. He just kept playing them. Oh, that's from people. Gosh. Hit for a million bucks. All right, let's play the Bobby Feud. We got the best hair in country music.

[Tammy]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

There are 10 answers on the board. The game players are Eddie, Amy and Morgan. The best hair in country music. Eddie, we rolled the dice. You're first.

[Eddie]

I'm going to go with an obvious one. Reba has great hair.

[Bobby Bones]

[Amy]

I doubted that one, dude.

[Amy]

How? I. I want to go with a guy here, but it's not seeming like a lot of the young guys are. Are hitting this list. But he has great hair. It's Warren Ziders.

[Bobby Bones]

Not gonna. Not gonna be known enough Buzzer. Really?

[Amy]

But he has great hair.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

No. No Warren Zeiders. All right. Remember we asked 2000 Bobby Boncho listeners.

[Eddie]

Okay, you follow up on that?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You've been warned.

[Amy]

I thought I could just. Commentary is not allowed.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you're commentating about how your answer wasn't good enough to make the list.

[Amy]

No, no, I just. It's an obstacle. I did, but.

It's just great. It's like. It's good. You probably notice hair more.

Isn't it ironic?

[Eddie]

I'm gonna go old school again. Wiona Judd.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Winona.

[Freddy]

Okay,

[Bobby Bones]

right over to Amy. Five answers are off the board. Dolly, Morgan Wallen, Willie Nelson, Reba and Ella Langley.

[Amy]

Carrie Underwood.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Carrie. Number nine answer worth 18 points.

[Amy]

Let's go

[Bobby Bones]

back over to you.

[Amy]

Back over to me. Bald.

[Bobby Bones]

Bald.

[Kaylee]

Bald.

[Bobby Bones]

Bald. Who has the best hair? And country music.

[Amy]

Oh. Who are the guys?

[Bobby Bones]

Five seconds.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Amy]

Okay. Dustin Lynch. Random.

[Bobby Bones]

He's right here, though, right?

[Amy]

He's probably not

[Bobby Bones]

Morgan.

[Amy]

Yeah, Warren really screwed me there, so I'm gonna go with Keith Urban. Oh, duh.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Keith Urban.

[Eddie]

Good one, Morgan.

[Bobby Bones]

Number eight answer worth 16 points. Dang. Okay, Dolly, Morgan Wall and Willie Nelson. Reba, Ella Langley, Keith Urban, and Carrie Underwood off the list. There are three remaining.

[Amy]

I don't know. I. I can't decide if good hair is, like, long hair or if it's just, like, really good hair because Chris Stapleton has a lot of hair, but I don't know if it's considered good hair.

[Eddie]

Interesting.

[Amy]

You know what I mean? Like that. That's a thought process.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a thought process. Yes.

[Amy]

I'm gonna go with it. Give me Chris Stapleton.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's check the totals here. We're going into round three where points are tripled. But right now, Eddie has 29, Amy has 18, Morgan has 16.

[Eddie]

Okay, a good lead.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie.

[Eddie]

It's a good lead because I don't have really anything anymore. I have one name on my list and it's a guy. So give me Jamie Johnson.

[Bobby Bones]

Jamie Johnson. Eddie is the leader in the clubhouse. Amy, points are tripled. Three answers on the board.

[Amy]

George straight. He's got great hair under that hat.

[Bobby Bones]

George Strait. All right, Amy loses. Morgan.

[Amy]

I know there's somebody that I'm missing really big, but the only one that I can think of right now is Lainey Wilson. Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

She have good hair?

[Amy]

She does have good hair.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Lainey Wilson.

[Amy]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Number four answer. So it's worth 12 points. Mike, where we at on the score? She has 28, one behind Eddie. Yes.

[Eddie]

Let's go. She's done. She has no more names.

[Bobby Bones]

There are two answers left on the board. Amy does finish in last place, though, so she will not play the next round.

[Amy]

Okay. I'm trying to think of like, who's been in here and has really good hair. Oh, man. What are they? Oh, no. It's hard. A lot of them have cowboy hats and I don't think a lot of

[Bobby Bones]

Amy guessed all those with cowboy hats. They wear a cowboy hat. She guessed it.

[Amy]

Yep. Cuz it's what's under the hat, but it's not. I don't know if there's anything under there. Okay, let's.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's. Five seconds. Fay Till. Okay, show me for the win. Fay Till.

[Amy]

Oh, I just thought of one just now.

[Bobby Bones]

Who is.

[Amy]

Can we play just for fun? No, because I just thought of one.

[Bobby Bones]

Go ahead.

[Amy]

Kimberly from Little Big Town.

[Eddie]

Oh, she has gray hair.

[Amy]

Kimberly Shotman.

[Eddie]

Surely big, curly.

[Amy]

She has the best hair.

[Bobby Bones]

Show me Kimberly Schlapman.

[Amy]

Wow,

[Eddie]

just a little too late.

[Amy]

Oh, man. She also. She just did a hair tutorial.

[Bobby Bones]

And there's one other one. It's a guy, long hair. He now has long hair, but he's very famous for another style before. He just grew his hair out all along.

[Amy]

Sam Hunt.

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Lunchbox]

Blake Shelton.

[Bobby Bones]

No. Blake's hair is short now.

[Guest]

I don't know.

[Amy]

I don't even know what Sam.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy's hair is long. And it used to be not as long, but long, but it was definitely a different style. He's famous for his hairdo. Dirks in the 90s.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, oh, Miley Cyrus's dad.

[Eddie]

Oh, Billy Ray.

[Bobby Bones]

Billy Cyrus.

[Eddie]

Yeah, Good on lunch.

[Bobby Bones]

That would have been number five, but Amy's eliminated from next round. Our winner is Eddie.

Learn more about the Hyundai palisade@hyundai USA.com Call 562-314-4603 for complete details. Let's go talk to Kaylee. Hey, Kaylee, how you doing?

[Kaylee]

Morning, Studio.

[Freddy]

Morning.

[Kaylee]

Doing well. I just wanted to provide an update from when I called in last fall.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, well, what'd you call in for last fall about.

[Kaylee]

So Lunchbox was three credit hours short from graduating college. I called in, encouraged him to finish. Promise it's worth it. I was working full time. I have two very active teenagers. And I was in school full time as well, finishing my bachelor's. And Last Saturday, at 36 years old, I walked across the stage and graduated.

[Bobby Bones]

There it is. Come on. That's awesome. So two things here, two things we need to address both of them. Number one, congratulations to you. There was a lot going on in your life. You still focused and accomplished many things. All what you talked about there, including getting your degree. That's awesome. And then Lunchbox, who is three hours short of finishing his degree and he just quit. And he just has one class and he has, he can get his degree and it's up to him. We're not shaming him, but it's just crazy that he's so close to the finish line. He ran a marathon and right as he's about to run through the ribbon, he's like, why? I'm gonna walk off to the side

[Lunchbox]

and get a burger. Yeah, no, see, you act like I quit, just, like, just to quit. No, I started a career. Like, that's what happens. You go to college and to get a career, you want a job to better yourself for the future. And I did that. I experienced everything there is to do in college. I partied. I, you know, did that. I walked the stage, I partied.

[Bobby Bones]

I did that. Well, like, two things.

[Lunchbox]

I, I can't say what, you know and what. I walked the stage, I got in front of everybody, they called my name, all that because I was supposed to take the class over the summer. And then this opportunity came a knocking. And when an opportunity Comes and knocking. You know what you have to do? You have to answer. And I answered that opportunity. And here we are, smash cut a lot of years later. And it has worked out for me. I think I made the right decision opening that door.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree with a lot of what you're saying. You got an opportunity. You're halfway through school. You can chop out. Don't take the opportunity. You were three hours. What? You're one class. And you could have gone back and just done the class. Even having the job, I think Amy wouldn't finish school. I did during the show.

[Amy]

Yeah, I had the same situation where I walked across the stage, they handed me an empty tube because my diploma couldn't be in there because I still had three hours to go. Now, at that time, I was currently taking the class through correspondence. And, you know, I should have finished it like a couple weeks after I walked the stage. But then, you know, life happens. How far into these knives I get a job and then I just forget about it. Smash cut to 2008. And I thought, you know what? I need to finish those three hours. So I re enrolled, did the three hours and got my diploma. And now my diploma says 2008 instead of 2003. But from far away at 8 looks like a 3. And it's fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Just color it in with a Sharpie.

[Lunchbox]

Perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

What you got to do when it

[Amy]

says eight, you got to erase.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you gotta erase it with a Sharpie. Yeah, yeah. Lunchbox has chosen not to go back. It's crazy to me. We're wired different. I think at this point, we know Lunchbox and our wired differently. But you were so close. You did so much.

[Freddy]

I know.

[Lunchbox]

I did so much. And I. I did so well. Like, I mean, I actually passed classes. My parents didn't think I'd even make it that far. They thought I'd be there a semester and I'd be out of college. So I proved a lot of people wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Kaylee, congratulations to you, though. That's awesome.

[Kaylee]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm glad that.

[Kaylee]

Thank you so much.

[Bobby Bones]

You did that. And I hope that there are people listening going through something similar that. Yeah, it's. It's going to be hard, especially if there are other parts of your life that you have to be dedicated to and you're able to do them both. So I hope you feel proud of yourself. We're proud of you.

[Freddy]

I'm.

[Kaylee]

Thank you. I'm so, so proud. So many good tears this weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Bye, Kaylee.

[Guest]

Bye. Ready, Bones?

[Bobby Bones]

Wake up. Wake up in the morning. Then you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning. Steve. Red habit trying to put you through. Mike D's riding this week's next bid. Now Bobby's on the mic, so you know what this is. All right, time for the morning corny.

[Lunchbox]

The morning corny.

[Amy]

Why do bananas have to put on sunscreen when they go to the beach?

[Bobby Bones]

Why do bananas have to put on sunscreen when they go to the beach?

[Amy]

Because they peel.

[Lunchbox]

That was the morning corny.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, voicemail, number one.

[Freddy]

Eddie, I think you are a cool dude. You are cool. You probably awesome to golf with, have some beers with. I think you're a great adult friend. The category of cool dad, that's. That's not at all. I mean, you're a good dad, but not a cool dad. You don't Even let your 18 year old son have a sleepover. Yeah, you're a little too strict. Helicopter dad. Anyway, love the show. You guys are great.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's Freddy.

[Eddie]

Hold on, let me summarize. I am cool.

[Bobby Bones]

You're a cool dude, but you're not a cool dad.

[Eddie]

I'm not a cool dad.

[Bobby Bones]

Kind of a lame helicopter. Kind of a lame dad.

[Eddie]

Yeah, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'd rather be a good dad than a cool dad.

[Eddie]

For sure.

[Bobby Bones]

But not cool as a dad. All right, next one.

[Freddy]

I just called about Eddie. Now I gotta talk about Bobby. Bobby, you are so cool. You literally won't admit that you're cool. Like that's cool. You know what I'm saying? You literally cool. Cool. Sorry, I can't say that. But you're cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you. I don't think I'm cool, though. I think I'm the lamest one. But I hear you. Thank you. But maybe me saying that does make me cool. Well, now I'm not cool because I just said that.

[Eddie]

Yeah, don't say it.

[Amy]

Okay, well, you're not saying it, you're questioning it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not cool.

[Eddie]

And that makes you cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't take that, though. All right, next one.

[Freddy]

Morning Studio. I just called about how Eddie's cool and how Bobby's cool now. And talk about Lunchbox. He's not that cool, but Daniel's really cool. Daniel's so cool. If you see the prices. Right? Daniel's cool.

[Amy]

Okay, so, Lunchbox, what's up with this guy?

[Bobby Bones]

He's been drinking.

[Amy]

Yeah, for sure, for sure.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. The character, not cool. Daniel, his real name. When he's that guy cool.

[Eddie]

I agree.

[Bobby Bones]

So, thoughts, Lunchbox?

[Freddy]

I'm cool.

[Lunchbox]

All the way around, I'm the same person. Just have to go buy a different name.

[Bobby Bones]

Why?

[Lunchbox]

That's just how I like to live life. Incognito. Switch it up. Keep people on their toes. You know what I mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Who's talking now, Daniel or Lunchbox?

[Eddie]

I can't.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I get confused, too.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh. We gotta stop this. It's lunchbox 100 of the time.

[Freddy]

Okay.

[Amy]

Unless it's Daniel.

[Bobby Bones]

Daniel's cool. Daniel's cool. Thank you for the voicemails. Anybody out there, you want to leave us a voicemail if we're not on the air? Leave it. You can leave multiple, and you can be drunk. 8, 7, 7, 77. Bobby. That's our number. Leave it. 7, 7, 77. B, O, B, B, Y.

[Guest]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, voicemail.

[Kaylee]

This is Taylor from Colorado. I saw Russell Dickerson at Red Rocks. It was amazing. So it got me thinking. Who is an artist? You, dead or alive, you would want to see at any venue, real or fiction. For me, it's got to be someone like Bruno Mars at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. I'm curious what you guys have to say.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't know she was doing it. Both, like. Okay, you already got one.

[Amy]

Well, Red Rocks would be my location because I've never gone, and it's. I want to.

[Bobby Bones]

What dead artist would you want to see there?

[Amy]

Dead?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you can pick any artist. Oh, you're gonna pick someone alive?

[Amy]

Well, okay.

[Geico Gecko]

Go.

[Bobby Bones]

Let it rip.

[Amy]

But who dead am I? Who dead do I love?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. Who alive do you love?

[Amy]

George Straight.

[Bobby Bones]

George Straight at Red Rocks. Fair enough.

[Amy]

With my sister.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, well, you. Now you're adding. She's like, with Jesus.

[Amy]

Hey, well, that's who I want to be there with.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Amy]

That would be epic.

[Bobby Bones]

Any artist, dead or alive. Eddie.

[Eddie]

Oh, mine's easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Elvis.

[Eddie]

And I want to see him in Vegas.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, at, like, one of the old casinos.

[Eddie]

Old places that he used to play. Yeah, that's what I want to see.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool. Lunchbox. Do you have anything in mind?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, I'd like to see Tina Turner. And I'm gonna go to the Coliseum.

[Bobby Bones]

The one in Vegas or the one in Rome?

[Lunchbox]

The road in Rome. I don't know anything about it, but it's like. It's a big part of history, so they might have had concerts there. So let's bring Tina Turner there.

[Amy]

Okay, that'd be cool.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go. The Beastie Boys. I don't know. On Mars. Oh, that's great.

[Amy]

Actual Location?

[Bobby Bones]

He picked the Coliseum.

[Amy]

He could get there.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, you said we. I didn't. I was just gonna pick somebody without doing the venue.

[Amy]

Well, I want to know what venue you'd actually pick that exists. I mean, I know Mars exists, but, like, we don't. We don't go there.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you a planet doubter?

[Amy]

No, no, I'm clarifying. It exists. Maybe. And you'd have to be suited up and.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Beastie Boys. Got it. Beastie Boys at Magic Springs Theme park in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The home, my first ever concert that's doable. Where I saw Diamond Rio. Yeah, because they're not alive. Well, not all of them. So they don't perform together. But I think that would be really cool.

[Amy]

Have all of y' all been to Red Rocks?

[Bobby Bones]

I've never been.

[Eddie]

Never been what? Nope.

[Amy]

Dang.

[Eddie]

We should go see George Strait.

[Amy]

I don't care. We should go. Like, let's pick a show.

[Eddie]

Let's go Amy. What are you talking about?

[Bobby Bones]

Amy just wants to do anything.

[Amy]

I think that would be a cool experience for us to all go.

[Bobby Bones]

You know, they have that app, Bumble, where you can find friends.

[Eddie]

What if you need friends, Amy?

[Amy]

I have friends. Y' all are them.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Bones, there's a whole story about telling your relatives how much money you make. Now, this is not your husband. It's not even your kids, but, like, telling your relatives. Have you guys ever shared with your relatives how much money you make?

[Eddie]

No.

[Amy]

No.

[Eddie]

No chance.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. What about you?

[Lunchbox]

Not a chance in the world. Nobody knows. My wife doesn't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that part's weird.

[Amy]

Yeah, because you would think your partner knows.

[Bobby Bones]

But the whole story comes from Money magazine. It says 2 out of 10 people tell their relatives how much money they make and have experts say it's best to keep it in house, though, because it can create jealousy. It can also lend family members asking for loans. I. Caitlyn's parents know how much money I make. What?

[Amy]

I don't know. That. That's. That weird.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my God, Amy.

[Amy]

No, because just knowing Caitlyn's parents, like, I think it's fine. They're not gonna be weird about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they're not weird about it.

[Amy]

I know. That's what I mean. So that's why I think you make that decision of, like, if they were a little shady or weird, you probably not tell. You they would never know, and you would tell Caitlyn.

[Eddie]

You can't you tell them you told them.

[Bobby Bones]

Who else would tell them?

[Eddie]

Your wife?

[Amy]

Wait, you told them?

[Bobby Bones]

Or she told them she would never tell them.

[Amy]

Why'd you tell them?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think I ever. I just declared it.

[Amy]

They asked.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I think it had to come up somehow in conversation.

[Amy]

Yeah. So we're like, maybe they were questioning your ability to care, and you're like, no, I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

This is later. I would never do it. I. I did when I met Caitlin's dad for the first time, who's now my father in law. I didn't say anything like that. I did, though, say you have. You don't have to worry. I have no debt. I didn't say how much money I made, but I was like, I have no debt. I felt like that was the biggest selling point about me. I was like, hey, I think. I think your daughter's awesome and I have no debt.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's a big deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I think it just came. I think it just came up at some point, and I'm not sure, but I. I don't have any. I don't. I share with them. I don't care. But that's weird. That's weird.

[Amy]

Well, so wait.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

To clarify, you tell them how much you make or you tell them how much you have? Because there's a difference.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, there's a difference. Probably what I make a year.

[Eddie]

Okay, yeah, yeah, that's different. That's different.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you stammering?

[Amy]

I don't know. With you, it's different.

[Bobby Bones]

But you guys don't tell anybody that.

[Eddie]

No, but you know what, though? I feel like I should because all my relatives think I'm so rich, and I want to tell them the real story. Like, I don't have money, guys.

[Amy]

When you say relatives, though, are you talking about, like, siblings and cousins?

[Bobby Bones]

It could be anybody that doesn't live in the house with you.

[Amy]

So not. Okay, so just at a family gathering, you would be like, yeah, so here's how much I make, or here's how much I have.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. I would come up probably organically, but, yeah, that's what's up. The lunchbox didn't tell his wife. Weird. Which. Yeah. Which is bizarre, too.

so yesterday your son had state track. So you guys drove over to the University of Tennessee. They got to run on the campus. It was pretty awesome.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was really cool. Long day, you know, but that's track.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like every time you talk about the track meets, it's a long day.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's what. And I feel like I don't know what it is. And my ex husband and I were there together looking at each other like, when are we going to learn? When are we going to learn? Why are we not like these other awesome track parents that bring umbrellas from the sun? Because it was 90 degrees, sun is blazing and people have got their umbrellas, their face fans, their spritzer fans. They are. They've got their cool earth back there. And we roll in nothing when you get there. That's our first time to state, to be fair. But track meets are always long, so

[Bobby Bones]

we should know how long until Stevenson ran.

[Amy]

Oh, hours. Oh, it's always. But it's always ours.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you waiting that. It could be any minute though. So why don't you just go somewhere else for a while?

[Amy]

Well, I kept thinking that like any minute there. Well, I got there a little later than my ex husband because again, he didn't want to ride together. But we hung out together the whole time we were there. I was like, make it make sense. So then we were. He's sitting in the bleachers in the blazing sun and I'm like. Which he was sitting coincidentally next to some listeners. So I got to meet them. Shout out. They had a niece there running. And then I was like, we got to get out of this sun. So we, we go over to the shade and we're like, okay, it's about to happen. It's about to happen. From that moment, if it's about to happen, it was at least another hour and 20 minutes.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was running the four by 800. So there were four people and they each had to run two laps.

[Amy]

Correct.

[Tammy]

And.

[Amy]

But There's.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it a whole different competition? Like, level competition?

[Amy]

Yeah. And I don't know what it was. I mean, the boys did great. Like, I was really proud of them, but they were seven seconds slower than their best time as a. As a team. So each one of them was a couple seconds off. They finished fourth in the state.

[Bobby Bones]

So that's good.

[Eddie]

Still pretty good.

[Amy]

That's great.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's what grade?

[Amy]

8th grade.

[Bobby Bones]

So he gets to run in junior high again next year?

[Amy]

No, he's going to high school.

[Bobby Bones]

Is ninth grade my school? Yeah, ninth?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Our school is totally different. Small school.

[Amy]

So I. Yeah, they were sort of like when they got fourth place and they were a little bummed about it. They're like, onward, we're going to high school.

[Bobby Bones]

So ninth grade, you're running against seniors.

[Amy]

No, he's in eighth grade.

[Bobby Bones]

No, next year.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, yeah, you can if you run varsity.

[Bobby Bones]

But is there not like a junior varsity?

[Amy]

Well, there may be. I don't know what team he's going to make yet.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Mountain Pine here we had two buildings. One was at the bottom of the hill, one was at the top of the hill. That was our whole school.

[Amy]

So were you single, a, double A or aaa? Okay, so see, that's what was taking so long too.

[Bobby Bones]

Was that all us small school kids that you guys made fun of?

[Amy]

No, I'm all about it. That's fine. But there was, you know, the 4 by 800 starting. Well, the girls go first, which is fine, but it was like, how many heats for the single A, double A, then triple A. And it was like, okay, finally.

[Bobby Bones]

How did he feel about finishing fourth?

[Amy]

He had a great time. He was a little bummed that they were all. He wanted to be faster. And I. Who knows what it was if it was the heat or I don't know what causes them. They. They did switch up the order. This is the first time they ever ran in that order.

[Bobby Bones]

Why would they switch up the order?

[Amy]

I don't know.

[Bobby Bones]

Championship.

[Amy]

We have to trust what the coach was thinking.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't. I don't TR to coach. Not now.

[Eddie]

Doesn't sound like the right move.

[Bobby Bones]

Nope. I'm going to be couch coach.

[Amy]

Yeah. And none of the boy. All four of the boys. They were all. Apparently one of the other dads is saying that they were all like, I don't want to be fourth.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't.

[Amy]

Nobody wants to be fourth. Like, because there's a lot of pressure on the fourth. So Stevenson was second. He's normally first. And then they moved Him. And so he was like, yeah, shoot, why'd we switch up the order? But, oh, well, they did great. I was proud of him.

[Bobby Bones]

That's fun. When'd you get home?

[Amy]

About 7pm I think.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you guys stop and eat on the way back?

[Amy]

I just stopped at BUC EE's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Yeah, I was alone.

[Bobby Bones]

No. That count? Oh, you were alone. So he rode up there with you, but back with his dad?

[Amy]

No, he was with his dad.

[Bobby Bones]

He rode up with his dad and back with his dad.

[Amy]

It's his dad's week.

[Eddie]

So you were alone the whole time?

[Lunchbox]

Oh, man.

[Bobby Bones]

So you drove what, three.

[Amy]

Almost three hours there, Three hours back.

[Bobby Bones]

Three hours back alone. But you could have shared Stevenson from one of the trips and just dropped him back off with his dad, right?

[Amy]

No, it was his week. And honestly, I didn't mind. Then again, Steven said to be there a little bit earlier. I didn't get there too far behind them, but.

[Bobby Bones]

But the way back, justice for Amy had to stop at Bucky's by herself. Going in, listening to a sad song.

[Amy]

I listened to a book on tape. I still call it a book on tape, even though I downloaded on audible on tape.

[Bobby Bones]

Ah, got it. Old school. Well, glad. Glad that it worked out.

[Amy]

Yeah, it was great.

[Bobby Bones]

Good experience.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I feel worse for you than I do Stevenson. She had to go ask for beaver nuggets for one. I want to go over and talk to Tammy, who is in El Paso. Hey, Tammy. Good morning.

[Tammy]

Good morning, everyone.

[Bobby Bones]

What's happening?

[Tammy]

What's happening? I've been listening to your show this morning. In three hours. Come on, dude, go take those courses. I went back to school and got my degree. 40 years old. After being done with school at 18, never wanting to step foot into a classroom, I went to the military, served my country for nine years. When I got out, I decided, you know, there's more to life than just maintenance work. So I went to school and got my degree in electronic engineering.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, lunchbox is three hours short, and I think he's gonna die that way. And he's okay with that?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, yeah, I'm okay with that. Because you went back and bettered your life. You got an electronic engineering, whatever the heck that means. So you probably got some fancy job. Now, me, if I go back, I'm not gonna get a different job. Like, my job is set. I'm here. Like, going to get that three hours is not gonna improve my life at all.

[Amy]

What if this job's not here?

[Bobby Bones]

What if this job's not here? I agree.

[Lunchbox]

Okay. Well, then I have 20 something years of experience in the workforce, and that's more important than those three hours to an employer.

[Bobby Bones]

The whole point. If anyone is listening to this and has no idea what we're talking about, we're not even pressuring him anymore. It just. I'm curious as to why he doesn't do one class and then finish his degree. He did all that work, and it's not completed, and it's one class. He could do it very easily online. Just doesn't want to do it. That's fine. Just weird. I just. That's just not. You know, it would drive me crazy. It would drive me crazy. Yeah.

[Lunchbox]

Maybe at the beginning. Like, maybe in the beginning, I was like, oh, man, I need to finish. I need to finish. But as time went on, I became comfortable with the fact that I proved that I could do it. I set out for something, and then, you know, opportunity landed, and I said, you know what? When it's not, when the iron is hot, you got to strike.

[Bobby Bones]

He's just cramming a bunch of stuff in. I feel like it's running a marathon, right? And you're doing 26.2, but at 25 and a half, you're like, oh, yeah, I can finish this pretty easily, but I'm gonna go ahead and quit. Like, you know, you can do it, but then you just kind of trail off and don't finish. That's what it feels like to me. But that's okay. You do you. Tammy, that's awesome. I'm so happy that, you know, you found some fulfillment in a different way and you went back as well. That's super cool and probably inspiring to so many.

[Tammy]

All I hope is people that at least attempt to do their education. I waited a long time, and it took me a lot of time, effort to be able to go back to school and get the degree.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think what you did is awesome. And again, that's inspiring. And I don't think it really has anything to do with what Lunchbox is doing, because he doesn't need to be inspired and doesn't care. Right. You don't need inspiration.

[Lunchbox]

I don't.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't give a crap.

[Lunchbox]

I don't give a crap.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. And that's. That's your prerogative.

[Lunchbox]

That's right. I inspire myself.

[Bobby Bones]

That's right. All right, Tammy, thank you for the call. We really appreciate that.

[Tammy]

Thank you. Y' all have a good day.

[Bobby Bones]

You too. Bye. Bye. That ship where everybody got the hantavirus has now Docked and they're going through and spraying it down, disinfecting it. But the question is, would you ever get on that boat later? Like if there was an amazing cruise and again that's not a real cruise ship as we would think a cruise

[Amy]

ship because it's a very huge large boat.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I'd say burn it, sink it, do

[Bobby Bones]

like a Viking funeral, send it out and shoot a big arrow with a flame on it. Boom. So you would not get on it for any reason whatsoever?

[Amy]

Yeah, I mean if I am, I don't want to know about it.

[Bobby Bones]

Would you rather.

[Amy]

Cuz I feel like it just got a little, it's got bad energy. I just don't want to be on it.

[Eddie]

It's a big discount, right? Like you wouldn't get on a full price.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, the question is, would you rather get on this boat where those people some died and a lot of people got haunted virus, or stay in a hotel room where someone was murdered? Hmm. Oh, you don't have to do either by the way. I'm not making you. It's not a bit I'm gonna turn.

[Eddie]

But we do have to pick one.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Would you rather go on like a five night cruise on this boat where there was the hantavirus or stay in a hotel room where somebody died, was murdered for one night?

[Amy]

Well, I mean we might as well play. We have to choose. You might as well make us choose.

[Eddie]

And it was murdered.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I was saying I wasn't gonna make you do it. When you pick, I wasn't gonna send you to do the bitch.

[Eddie]

We're still playing the game.

[Amy]

Yeah, you're still playing the game, like asking you this. But you don't have to answer.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you have to answer.

[Amy]

And I was like, well that sounds lame.

[Eddie]

And it's a murder, right?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a murder for sure.

[Amy]

Okay. Put me on the boat for five nights. I don't want to sleep where there was a murder.

[Eddie]

You murder.

[Bobby Bones]

Murder night. One night.

[Eddie]

Murder one night. If I don't sleep, big deal. Dude, I don't want Hana virus. I could die from that.

[Bobby Bones]

But they're cleaning it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but still, what if there's like a little piece left on a doorknob or something?

[Bobby Bones]

Are you licking that doorknob?

[Eddie]

I don't want to risk it.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

This is simple. Put me on the boat. Absolutely. They're gonna clean it better than they've ever cleaned anything in the world because they don't want the bad press and so give me the boat.

[Eddie]

But you're not gonna get murdered in that room.

[Lunchbox]

Give me the boat.

[Amy]

Okay. Well, Lunchbox has an experience with ghosts.

[Eddie]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going the room.

[Amy]

You are?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Cause I don't believe things are haunted. And it's a free night at a hotel.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Room service.

[Eddie]

And it's only one night.

[Bobby Bones]

I just don't believe that things are haunted either.

[Amy]

Oh, yeah. I don't. I don't think I was worried about Lunchbox as a ghost. I don't think this is a ghost. I just don't want to be where there was a murder.

[Lunchbox]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because, I mean, people died, like, terrible.

[Amy]

That's not a murder.

[Bobby Bones]

It is by nature.

[Eddie]

Oh, murder.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you see that new strain of Ebola? They do not have any sort of cure for it. They have. No.

[Eddie]

It's in Africa. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

Like Uganda, I believe.

[Amy]

So what's the plan?

[Lunchbox]

I don't have a plan.

[Bobby Bones]

You're looking for me for a plan.

[Eddie]

That's always. That's always the plan.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna play this new song from Ashley McBride. I am such a massive fan of her. She had such a great appearance on this show. I hope you go back to the podcast and listen from last week. Bobby Bone Show Bonehead story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes us from Tacoma, Washington. A man was trying to make a letter mural on his wall, and he needed an O. And he's walking by the Tacoma Police Department. He's like, oh, that O would be perfect on my wall. 2:30am so he goes back with a hammer and he starts chipping it off the wall. Only problem is they have cameras. Police inside saw him, came out and arrested him.

[Bobby Bones]

There are two O's in Tacoma Police Department. Did you guys do that in your head?

[Eddie]

No, I didn't. I just said police. Oh, and the police.

[Amy]

Oh, I only. Did the coma. See Tacoma?

[Geico Gecko]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

You went there with all the O's.

[Bobby Bones]

I was like, how many arrows is he looking for? Yeah, that's pretty stupid because sometimes people will do stupid stuff near the police department and they just didn't see it. This guy literally tried to take a letter off the police department. And if somebody's gonna have cameras, it's going to be the police department.

[Geico Gecko]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So what are they getting with second

[Lunchbox]

degree criminal mischief and trespassing?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a hard one to say.

[Lunchbox]

Mischief.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah. All right. There you go.

[Lunchbox]

I'm Lunchbox. That's your Bonehead story of the day.

[Bobby Bones]

Bones, do you have a favorite Sheryl

[Amy]

Crow song, Soak up the Sun.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it's good. I Want to soak up the sun? It's a good one.

[Amy]

I mean, there's a lot. Every day is a winding road.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't claim them all. I just wanted to know one, because I'd like to have some, too.

[Guest]

Okay, cool.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good one, though. Every day is a winding road Jam. That's a good one. Mine is gonna feel like hell to Strong Enough tonight.

[Amy]

Strong enough to be my man?

[Bobby Bones]

Tears in the. Yeah. This is called Strong enough, though.

[Amy]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

If we were playing a game, I'd be like, strong enough to be my man.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'll be like, incorrect. Strong Enough is my favorite. And I was talking to Sheryl Crow on the Bobby cast, and we talked about her getting recognized in public, and I asked her top five Sheryl Crowe songs.

[Guest]

Best technically or my favorites. My favorite song.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, let's do favorites.

[Guest]

Okay. I'm gonna do my favorite, which is my favorite mistake. And it's the only song that, when it comes on the radio, I don't turn it off.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you like how you sound?

[Guest]

I do, but I don't know. I think it's also how it felt when I wrote it. I don't overanalyze it, criticize it. Whereas other things, I go, gosh, I wish I would have done this or would have done that. Best songs, number two, Redemption Day. Wrote it after I went and played for the troops in Bosnia, came home, wound up writing about, asking questions about, why do we go into the places that we go into to create a presence. When Rwanda was under complete and total genocide, we were in Bosnia defending, you know, our oil. And then Johnny Cash recorded it. So that was. That's really the one you should check out if you're gonna listen to it, if it makes you happy. That was the result of my first record being huge and my second record, people going, well, she doesn't even write her own songs. So I was like, oh, really? Let me just hear. And then Every Day is Winding Road. I would say that one that was the result of a really good friend of mine who was in Crowded House, killing himself and feeling too close to home. So I wrote that song. And then it wound up actually, strangely, having a lot of different lives, particularly through Covid. And then the last one, I would

[Tammy]

say,

[Guest]

gosh, maybe I Shall Believe. That's my faith song.

[Bobby Bones]

Strong enough to make it. Yeah. I mean, yeah. Not really.

[Guest]

I love the song. I love playing it. But then I. Sometimes I go, maybe I should have done this or I should have done that. But, yeah, I Do love it. I always tell people I've been engaged three times. I never got married, so I've never been divorced, so I have all my money still.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you play all the hits?

[Guest]

We play all the hits. Yes, definitely. And we are very, very blessed because honestly, with the climate it is now and people making their own playlists and stuff, I don't know how you do it, but for us, we have, you know, about 14 songs that generationally, people know, and I do not take it for granted. So we are happy to play them.

[Bobby Bones]

I did an interview.

[Guest]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

My top 10 favorite artists of all time, and it was in no order. You're one of my top 10 favorite artists of all time.

[Guest]

I'm one of yours.

[Amy]

You're kidding me.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not making that up either. Yeah.

[Guest]

So thank you. That is okay. I have to tell you, I'm going through the mall the other day on a Sunday looking like crap, which I never put on makeup. I'm walking with my 15 year old. An older couple walks by and he said he heard him say, I think that's Sheryl Crow. And he said, mom, did you hear that? And I said, no. And he goes, I think they thought that was you. And I was like, oh, really? And I could see him thinking, and he's like, so when you were like, like when you were like, really happening, were you like, were you like the Taylor Swift? I was like, oh, my God. I was like, so much bigger than her. It's just funny, you know.

[Bobby Bones]

They have no idea.

[Guest]

Thank you. I'm very touched. That's very. That's very co.
