Come on, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Transmitting Across America. Welcome to Tuesday's show Morning Studio.

[Lunchbox]

Morning.

[Bobby Bones]

Odd start to the show today as Everybody's online. We're all trying to connect. We went through some crazy winter storms here, and I don't even have power back in my house yet. And it's been three days or so. Amy doesn't have power at her house yet. Eddie had to pick me up in the Jeep this morning to get me to work.

[Eddie Ray]

I got you, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

It's just. It's been tough and I. I've been through many a snowstorm growing up in Arkansas. Even here in Nashville, we've had some big snowstorms. Depending on where you live right now, you might have snow all the time. I've never been through an ice storm like this before because what's happened is it's not the ice that's slick that gets you. It's the ice weighing down the trees and ripping down the power lines. There is a tree near my house, massive fell across a busy highway, and it must have fallen right at the time when a car was coming to it because the car couldn't stop and smashed into the big tree. So on my road, there's a massive tree in the middle of the road, and a car crashed into it still to where they had to get out of the car.

[Eddie Ray]

And the hood was smashed.

[Bobby Bones]

It smashed in and leave it there. So a little in and out because we have everybody getting on different zooms, and some of us are in studio and some aren't. And if you're going through this crazy ice storm no matter where you live, it rocked all the way from Texas all the way to the mid Atlantic, which is the term I like to use now because I've heard it said enough times on the weather. I've never been through an ice storm like this. Have you?

[Eddie Ray]

Like when I was young, I remember South Texas froze and it was a big problem. But, dude, no, I've never seen. I saw a clip on the news of a car driving. You know those, like, cameras that they have just over streets, and the car was driving and a huge tree fell right behind it. And I don't even think the car realized it. It just kept driving like nothing happened.

[Bobby Bones]

I just would have thought I. Okay, we can't drive again. I've been through some massive snowstorms and some big winter weather storms, but nothing like this in my life.

[Eddie Ray]

Did you hear trees falling?

[Bobby Bones]

I kept hearing boom.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, boom, boom.

[Bobby Bones]

There's an entire tree in our backyard that derooted you. It's not limbs felt, because that happened all over our yard as well. Massive limbs. And it's why all the power's out because they keep falling on these power lines. But the bottom of the roots are completely ripped out of the ground.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, you sent me that picture. That tree just fell over because it.

[Bobby Bones]

Was so heavily weighted because of all the ice. So for everybody's going through it, like, we feel you. Hey, feel for me a little bit. I'll take a little bit. It's been cold at our house.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, sorry, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

And we can't leave the fireplaces on through the night because of possible carbon monoxide. And I don't think I would care most of the time, but got a pregnant wife.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So we're like 14 blankets, deep fireplace. I stay awake longer than her to leave it on. Then I go to sleep a few hours after she does. And then when she wakes up, she turns it on, if she wakes up. But I just wake up earlier than her anyway because the show dogs, I've completely crammed their. Their kennels full of clothes.

[Eddie Ray]

Oh, that's cool. Like an igloo.

[Bobby Bones]

And so they're. They're like, what is happening? Because we don't have any power.

[Eddie Ray]

What. How cold do you think it is in your house?

[Bobby Bones]

40S? Yeah, probably 40s because the insulation saves us a little bit. But 40s, it's kind of what you.

[Eddie Ray]

Sleep at anyway, right?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm telling you, it's a whole different monster. Just all the way through the house. But glad everybody's here. We still got a good show. It looks like everybody's getting hooked up as well.

[Lunchbox]

Anonymous.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. My wife and I are expecting our first baby, and my parents have been nothing but supportive, but her mom has been consistently critical. She's made negative comments about the name we chose. She sent my wife a list of better names, so. And she recently criticized the nursery after seeing a photo saying the crib color was wrong. Every time we try to share something and we're excited about it, it turns into unsolicited opinions. How do we get our mom to back off but still include her in our life? Where's the line between keeping the peace and protecting my wife? Signed Mother in law Drama. So this is what I would say to star. You know that this person, it can be any person in your life when they are consistently critical and you still love them, just always know they're going to be consistently critical. You just don't have to value it as much because you understand what's coming from that faucet. You turn faucet on, water comes out, She's a faucet and what she's going to say is going to be consistently critical. So I think you have to learn to not wait her words as much as you're doing. And if your wife is on the same team with you, it's much easier. If she's not, it's probably pretty difficult. I don't know what it's like to have annoying in laws. They haven't been annoying yet. But just generally with people in my life, I kind of know everybody's role and I kind of know what they're good at and what they're not good at because everybody has those, those qualities. And if somebody's constantly critical, but I still love them and have them in my life, I'm just not again going to weigh their criticism as much. There are other things they bring that I am going to weigh, but it's not that. So I think you just have to do value that less and not let it affect you because I think if you go, hey, stop being so critical, that's just going to blow up into something and she's never going to change. That mother in law is never going to change.

[Austin Hankwitz]

I mean there's hope that she could.

[Bobby Bones]

There's not.

[Austin Hankwitz]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

Nah. Old dog, new tricks.

[Eddie Ray]

I mean it happens, man. I had to nip it in the bud early.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, you nip early.

[Eddie Ray]

Go ahead. And I did it with my mother in law.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Eddie Ray]

And ever since then she's given me all kind of like, you know what, you're right, this is your family.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I could be wrong. Go ahead.

[Eddie Ray]

This was a long time ago.

[Bobby Bones]

What did you do, Ash?

[Joel and Matt]

We.

[Eddie Ray]

I was just having a discussion with my wife and she butted in, was just like, look, this is what I then like, respectfully, like, this is our discussion. We're the, we're married. So let us have this discussion.

[Austin Hankwitz]

It makes me think of that saying of we, we.

[Eddie Ray]

It was crazy. It was crazy.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Like we, we train people how to treat us.

[Bobby Bones]

You must have been hungry or something.

[Eddie Ray]

I don't know what it was. But, but, but then she was like, I respect that. And, and it never happened again.

[Bobby Bones]

And so was she always like that leading up? Because I feel like this, this mother in law has been doing it consistently.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Because she's been allowed to.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she just liked that though.

[Eddie Ray]

It happened too with my parents, my wife, and it wasn't even me. My wife had to stand up for herself and be like, look, I'm the mom, I get to decide what happens, okay? And dude, it's worked And I remember my parents being like, well that's not fair. We're the grandparents. But after that discussion they were like, you know what? We respect that.

[Bobby Bones]

So then what do you say to this person? Nip it in the butt, bud.

[Lunchbox]

How?

[Eddie Ray]

You just gotta say like. If it comes up again, say like. And it's not a fight. You just gotta be like, look, respectfully, this is how it makes me feel. These are our parameters. We're going to deal with this. This has nothing to do with you. Let us do that.

[Austin Hankwitz]

And if you could keep your comments to yourself, that would be great.

[Bobby Bones]

Dang. Good for you guys, man.

[Eddie Ray]

It was. It's not comfortable. It's definitely not comfortable. But it helped both.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah, like so to your point, Bobby, your method can absolutely work. That's option number one and option number two, in no particular order, pick one.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you guys are better.

[Austin Hankwitz]

No, they're both. No Bobby, there's. They're both Boundari. You have invisible boundaries that you're using to protect yourself. Like you're not going to let her come through the wall, right? It's an invisible boundary. Then option two is a conversation pulled.

[Bobby Bones]

Out the bazooka because she got close to the wall.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Then there's the conversation type boundaries which aren't invisible. You're just starting to create them. But both can work in every, every person is going to be different. Like you were saying. Like, it could be that having a conversation with her is far worse than building the invisible boundary. So you choose that option. You just have to weigh the person's personality.

[Bobby Bones]

Respect to you guys.

[Eddie Ray]

That was crazy, dude. Crazy times to think about.

[Bobby Bones]

You said no.

[Austin Hankwitz]

He said respectfully no.

[Eddie Ray]

Those words that I would never say came out of my mouth. They're like, wow, that was crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why I was like, were you hungry? Okay, well you got two options here. I kind of like their advice better than mine. But be kind. Both work and yeah, you, you can't live the same way. It will be the point though. You can't continue to live the same way feeling miserable. You do have to do something to change it or stop complaining it being so bad.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Right? Because what you don't want is for it to get so bad that you explode. And you do it in a con unkind way because you can do it in a clear kind way.

[Bobby Bones]

Sounds like I just punched his mother in law.

[Austin Hankwitz]

No, no, I think he was still kind and respectful. And then you know, because clear is kind, unclear is unkind.

[Bobby Bones]

There you go. We just talked it out. Good job. Thank you for emailing us Bones. All right, voicemails.

[Caller/Listener]

I just want to give Eddie props for doing his fast. I know you guys are giving them a lot of flack, but bone broth is an approved food, if you will, a fast. They also weren't listening because you did say you were going to do fruits and vegetables and nuts. I'm cheering for you, Eddie. Keep it up.

[Bobby Bones]

No, we were listening. He said the first four days he was going to do none of that. And he did steak on day three or four.

[Eddie Ray]

No, no, no, no. That was later. Two pieces of steak the fourth day.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, I said day at 3 or.

[Eddie Ray]

4, but, I mean, it's towards the end, dude, that's not how it works.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't run 23 miles of a marathon and then get on a scooter and go, it's towards the end. So how many days into it now are you?

[Eddie Ray]

I don't know, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't know?

[Eddie Ray]

No, I really don't. And it's part of. Kind of what I'm doing is not even keeping track of it that. Like that. Because if I look at the 20 day, like, finish line, I will just. I think it'll be worse for me. I'll just start, like, oh, freaking out because it's almost here and I really want steak. I want meat, but. So I'm not even looking at the calendar. If I go 40 days. Dude, give me 40 days.

[Bobby Bones]

Stop it. So, but now you're eating fruits and vegetables.

[Eddie Ray]

Fruits, veggies, I think legumes. Is that what they're called? Beans? Yeah, lentils, stuff like that. But, yeah, no meat, no sugar, no bread, nothing like that.

[Bobby Bones]

He's still going. All right, hit me with another Amy.

[Caller/Listener]

Possibly going to see Teresa Caputo. And I never heard an update, so I was curious if she went, and if so, how did that go? All right, thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

So she's the Long island medium, and she had requested Amy for a podcast. And Amy was like, I can't do it. So then I said, hey, why don't you come on my podcast? And she was like, why don't you come on mine? So we hit a stalemate, and we didn't do it.

[Eddie Ray]

Oh, great.

[Bobby Bones]

But she knew that because she's psychic. Probably saw it coming.

[Eddie Ray]

So nothing's happening. Nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

I think she's already gone from town. Hey, Mike. She's already gone, right? That she is gone.

[Joel and Matt]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But she knew that she's psychic.

[Eddie Ray]

Yes, of course.

[Bobby Bones]

She. She foresaw all of that. All right, hit me with the next one.

[Caller/Listener]

Calling from Fresno, California, listening to your show, the lady calling in about Valentine's Day. I've been married for 44 years.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree with the lunchbox.

[Caller/Listener]

Valentine's Day is useless. Go out a couple days before, a couple days after. It works just as great.

[Bobby Bones]

Love the show.

[Caller/Listener]

Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Appreciate the call. Not everyone feels that way, but if you do and both people in your relationship feel that way, that's easy. Great. Don't worry about Valentine's Day. I don't think Valentine's Day is a necessity for any relationship, but if one of the people do think it's a necessity that we celebrate it, then both have to celebrate it. So, yeah, if somebody's married to somebody, chill like you, no big deal. Don't worry about it. Valentine's Day, not a thing. But some people do like to celebrate it. And those people, you do have to spend time, effort, a little bit of money to make sure they feel loved. Everybody's different. Appreciate you guys. Leave us a voicemail anytime. It's time for the good news with Bobby. Nicu nurse in Massachusetts who has also been battling ovarian cancer for two years. So she has a job that we so appreciate. And she's also been going through something. She had on her bucket list that she wanted to go to a Patriots game, just straight up, and the Patriots came and gave her super bowl tickets. What?

[Eddie Ray]

Well, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So she's going to the Super Bowl. Her name is Shelly Sopulveda, a mother of six who's been diagnosed with ovarian cancer three times since 2024. On her personal bucket list, she wanted to go to a Patriots game. And so what they did is they were just like, we got you. We're going to send you to the Super Bowl. She was invited to the playoff game against the Chargers also. So she did get to go to her first Patriots game. Now she's going to the Super Bowl.

[Eddie Ray]

That's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

That's pretty cool. Good story. WCVB with that. That's what it's all about.

[Kenny Chesney]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

If you could control the behavior of anybody around you, what kind of life would you have?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Can you hypnotically persuade someone to buy a car?

[Bobby Bones]

When you look at your car, you're going to become overwhelmed with such good feelings.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Can you hypnotize someone into sleeping with you?

[Eddie Ray]

I gave her some suggestions to be sexually aroused.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Can you get someone to join your cult? NLP was used on me to access my subconscious. Nlp, AKA Neuro Linguistic Programming, is a blend of hypnosis, linguistics and psychology. Fans say it's like finally getting a user manual for your brain.

[Eddie Ray]

It's about engineering consciousness.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Mind Games is the story of nlp, its crazy cast of disciples, and the fake doctor who invented it at a New Age commune and sold it to guys in suits. He stood trial for murder and got acquitted. The biggest mind game of all, NLP might actually work. This is wild. Listen to mind Games on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go on the Bobby Bones show now. Kenny Chesney, growing up without a lot of. Now you've done quite well for yourself. What's the coolest part about being rich? That you didn't know that you can help other people. That's such a good answer.

[Kenny Chesney]

I mean, you can help other people.

[Bobby Bones]

I want you to say airplane.

[Kenny Chesney]

Well, that's, that's a perk.

[Bobby Bones]

That's.

[Kenny Chesney]

You can help other people with that perk.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, got it.

[Eddie Ray]

Got it.

[Kenny Chesney]

Which we did.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kenny Chesney]

After Hurricane Irma, you were flying stuff. We saved a lot on animals. Like being able to help. That's the best thing about being blessed, you know, with, with what's happened to me is being able to. To help people that need help.

[Bobby Bones]

Of all of your songs, which song ended Monster? That maybe you didn't quite think it would be. And I'm sure you have confidence in all of this. Yeah.

[Kenny Chesney]

But one that surprised me was Save it for a Rainy Day. And I, I don't know that it was the biggest hit, but I didn't. I mean, it was, it was on Brand. I knew when I heard it that it was on Brand, if you will, and that it might be fun live. But when we kick into that today, I went, oh, wow. I mean, that was a real hit. There's that one. I mean, the first time I heard when the Sun Goes Down. Oh, yeah, that. That's going to work. I don't know that it's going to be an eight week number one, which it was. But I didn't know it was going to be that. That surprised me. But I knew it was going to be good for us. You and Tequila. I didn't know what it was going to do. But that song didn't even go number one. I had more number two records than probably any act in the. In the world. I mean, I've had like 14 or 15 songs that didn't hit number one. That was number two. Like no Shoes, no Shirt, no Problems went to number two.

[Bobby Bones]

It wasn't a number one.

[Kenny Chesney]

Nope. It got stuck behind My friend Jimmy Buffett and Alan Jackson's Five o' Clock Somewhere for. For eight straight weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, that's just bad.

[Kenny Chesney]

Same label pissed me off.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. Because they didn't make the call to go pull that one back.

[Kenny Chesney]

Let's do it a little bit. But that record was so hot, they couldn't maneuver it.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I mean? You ever just go to Sonic or Chick fil A and order something and they look at you like, there's no way Kenny Chesney's ordering Sonic or Chick fil a by himself?

[Kenny Chesney]

Well, I mean, it's been a minute since I went to Sonic or Chick Fil a. But I do love when I was eating Chick Fil a. I love the sweet tea. I did love that when I was drinking that stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

But Cheesecake Factory anywhere?

[Kenny Chesney]

Do you guys see what you're saying?

[Eddie Ray]

Anywhere?

[Bobby Bones]

Anywhere. Not specific, but just in there.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, they're like, why is Kenny Chesney at a gas station in Tupelo, Mississippi? It's just random. Do you ever just do that? Are you ever by yourself in normal places?

[Kenny Chesney]

Yeah, I mean, I go to normal places. I mean, I can walk between the raindrops pretty well.

[Bobby Bones]

No way. Grocery store, kinda.

[Kenny Chesney]

Well, it's been a minute since I've been to a grocery store, but I go early. If I go to the grocery, where.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you go that's so normal that we'd be like, there's no way Kenny Chesney goes there.

[Kenny Chesney]

Oh, well, I don't know. But I mean, I've been. I've been at. At gas stations or whatever. Or, you know, I would be at a. At a restaurant, you know, whatever it is. And I remember this guy recently, and he was, you know, him and his wife were staring at me. I got radar pretty good, you know, And I. I could just tell or.

[Bobby Bones]

If a phone's up a little more.

[Kenny Chesney]

You know, the worst invention ever was when they could do it backwards. They can act like, you know, whatever. But he finally comes up to me and he goes, you're him, aren't you? I said, well, it depends on who you're talking about, you know, but when people come up to me and, I mean, nine times out of ten, it's pretty positive, you know, I haven't drank in a while, so when. Especially if I'm on island or down south, and they, you know, back when I was really partying a lot and people would want a picture and I would say, no, I mean, I can't see your camera. You know, I'D rather not take a picture. But now, I mean, there's worse things that people could say to you than I love your music. And man, that's part of. That's what happens. We just wanted to tell you that we love your music and there's a lot worse things people could say to you. That means a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you ever feel like you wouldn't make it? Did it ever get so bleak that you're going, I think this may not work out?

[Kenny Chesney]

Yes. I mean, well, even okay, so after, after Capricorn, you know, Joe signed me to a major label deal and it wasn't working. You know, we had a few hits, I had a few songs and that, you know, got into the top five and, and. But look, Bobby, I had what's crazy, what is really crazy about my life and my career. I had an 18 song greatest hits album and nobody knew who I was.

[Bobby Bones]

So then why did you make the greatest hits if they weren't that great?

[Kenny Chesney]

Because we had the songs and it was, honestly, it was a marketing move by the label. None of these are really successful, so we're just going to bunch them all together and make it successful. We went double platinum on a bunch of songs that weren't that successful. So it's a true story. And then that led me into the where that it was during that period that I went, okay, we have to make this better.

[Bobby Bones]

So you had a greatest hits album that launched your career, like supercharged it.

[Kenny Chesney]

I would say it was double platinum. We sold 2 million greatest hits records. And there was about a two year period from when the greatest hits package came out to when the no Shoes, no Shirt, no problems album came out that completely changed my life because the music had changed. I had changed mentally, I had changed physically. I was in shape, I was. My brain was on fire, fire with creativity and it just changed.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go over to Logan, who is listening in Illinois. Hey Logan, you're on the show.

[Logan]

Hey, Bobby.

[Bobby Bones]

Morning, studio.

[Joel and Matt]

Morning.

[Logan]

So next year me and my fiance are getting married and she wants to travel abroad and I'm trying to convince her to just go to like the Florida Keys where we get the same experience and not have to take a flight across seas and everything to get our passports and all that. So I just wanted to see what I could do to convince her to just go to Florida or maybe get some advice on it.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you scared to fly over the ocean? Is that what this is about or is it a financial thing?

[Logan]

I'm terrified of flying. I flew when I was in the military, and it was terrifying. And ever since I've been out of the military, I have done everything to avoid flying, Even as much as I'll drive from one side of the country to the other, no problem, as long as I don't have to get on a plane.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow. So you don't fly at all unless you have to. Unless you really have to.

[Logan]

Exactly.

[Bobby Bones]

What does she say when you tell her that?

[Logan]

She said, well, you got to travel and everything before, and she's never got to travel. So she's like, it's kind of not fair. But I'm like, well, here's the thing. We could save money by just driving. And you get to see all the cool stuff, driving. Like, you don't get to see the world's largest yarn ball flying in an airplane.

[Bobby Bones]

So you have a slight point. Yeah, if. That's why I asked if it was really about money. There is a difference for sure in going somewhere domestically and going to a whole new culture. Now, you may see some of the geographical things could be similar, but there is a massive difference and what you're getting to experience if you go to another country. So, man, you both are coming from a place that you have. You have points, both of you, like, three. I think you should fly over the ocean, man. I think you should get your passport and do it for her. I. I get.

[Eddie Ray]

I hate.

[Bobby Bones]

I hate. I hate flying. I hate flying over the ocean. And the whole time I'm flying over the ocean, I'm thinking, well, if we go down now, there's nowhere to land. We're for sure going to crash and die. And there are hundreds of thousands of flights a week that fly over the ocean. I think. I think you should suck it up. This comes from a scared flyer. I think you'll love it once you get there. I think you'll be nervous on the way back, for sure, But I think it's to her. And you let her know, hey, I'm doing this for you.

[Lunchbox]

Really.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm really going out of my way. You need some points for this, but I think you should do it. Amy.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah, Bobbi makes a good point. And then I think she'll compromise at times and do something for you. And you have gotten to travel. She hasn't. I'm sure she wants to experience this with you, because I was thinking as well, okay, maybe she could do Florida Keys with you. And then later, if she has, like, a best friend or a sister or something, they can go overseas, but she wants to experience this with you. And it would probably mean a lot, and I think you would also, I don't know, prove to yourself you can do it. Doesn't mean you have to do it again or do it a lot. Like this. This could be even a. Hey, I'm gonna give this my all and enjoy it, because it might not happen again. And I think she will also understand that, because you have a true fear, obviously. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because, I mean, but you've never died in an airplane crash, Logan. It sucks. But you've. You've flown. You haven't died. True or false?

[Logan]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

That's true, man.

[Eddie Ray]

You would have said false.

[Joel and Matt]

Whoa.

[Austin Hankwitz]

And, like, think of all of the positives of, like, once you get there, like, you'll. Yes, she's the one that wants to go, but you could also experience some new things.

[Bobby Bones]

The.

[Austin Hankwitz]

The. I don't know where y' all are gonna go, what you're gonna see, or the food or the activities, and then just the joy it's gonna bring her. Like, focus on the positives of the trip, not just the flight, which is.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like this. This should be way different for you guys. If you're going on a honeymoon and you have the ability to go somewhere that's way different, this is probably the only time you're gonna be able to do this for a long time, especially if there are kids in the mix. Etc.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Logan, I. I really thought long and hard. I didn't want to have to say suck it up, but I think. Suck it up.

[Austin Hankwitz]

That yarn ball is tempting, but, yeah, suck it up. It'll be there.

[Bobby Bones]

Is that her in the car now?

[Logan]

No, I'm at work right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. I was gonna say no. Different woman. Yeah. Logan, that. I hate to give you the l on this one, but I think you have to suck it up. And I think if she wants to go, you do it. And, you know, if you got to drug yourself up on that flight to sleep, do it. But I think you go.

[Logan]

That's what she says. She said, I'm just gonna give you a bunch of stuff to knock you out, and then I'll wake you up whenever we get there.

[Bobby Bones]

I promise. I promise you, you'll be fine. From somebody who hates flying. I hate it. You will be fine. And if you die on the flight, I'll admit I was wrong.

[Eddie Ray]

Guys, my bad.

[Bobby Bones]

I will come up, I'll raise my hand up and be like, I was wrong. But you're to. Logan, you're not going to. Okay, all right, all right.

[Logan]

I appreciate it guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Suck it up, buttercup. You got this. All right. See you later, Bones. All right, let's play a game. Raymundo, how does this game work? So I'm gonna give you three movies. You're gonna tell me the one actor who's in all three of those movies. For example, La La Land. Super Bad. The Help, The Red Haired actress, Emma Stone. Emma Stone.

[Eddie Ray]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, I'm not that good. I'm bad at movies.

[Joel and Matt]

I like that.

[Eddie Ray]

You missed that, do you?

[Bobby Bones]

Make you feel good. Make you feel good that I did bad.

Oh, everybody have Steve Carell.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, Steve Carell.

[Lunchbox]

Lunchbox Steve Carell.

[Bobby Bones]

Will I be watching a lot more kids movies?

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, you're gonna watch them all and then you're gonna be like, some of these are really funny because, like, you find things in them that are funny.

[Bobby Bones]

How long until I start watching kids movies?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Oh, you got some time.

[Eddie Ray]

You have time?

[Bobby Bones]

Few years.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, okay. So I got a little bit of time.

Okay. I wrote an answer down. Straight guess. Am. You go.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah. I don't think. Up in the air. Did that great for him. But it's George Clooney.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, that's the airplane movie where you like, quickly put Going through the security.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Something like that.

[Bobby Bones]

Nana Kendrick. That was a good movie. I like that.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Oh, really? Why did I think it wasn't?

[Bobby Bones]

I thought it was one. Don't look up. That's what I was thinking.

[Eddie Ray]

Oh, that's a good one.

[Bobby Bones]

I have Ben Affleck, so I missed it.

[Eddie Ray]

Eddie. Ben Affleck. I thought up in the Air was the Jordan movie about the Nikes, and he was the.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's pretty good. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

I just put George Clooney as a Batman.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought Ben Affleck was the Batman in this one.

[Eddie Ray]

I thought he was Robin.

[Kenny Chesney]

Ah.

[Austin Hankwitz]

See?

[Bobby Bones]

We're all over the place. Okay. Amy and Lunchbox winning a game.

[Eddie Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

[Kenny Chesney]

The Wolf of Wall Street.

[Bobby Bones]

Suicide Squad. I'm in.

[Eddie Ray]

Her name.

[Austin Hankwitz]

I'm in.

[Bobby Bones]

What are you doing?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Why would you say that?

[Joel and Matt]

Why would you say that?

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie's eliminated from this point.

[Eddie Ray]

What's the name?

[Bobby Bones]

No, no.

[Eddie Ray]

What do you mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Don't you. Did I say that out loud?

[Eddie Ray]

Yes.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Bobby Bones]

What do you have?

[Lunchbox]

Margot Robbie?

[Bobby Bones]

No, Eddie doesn't get it. Mike. No, you can't go what's her name in the middle of it.

[Eddie Ray]

I didn't mean to.

[Bobby Bones]

It doesn't matter because we are.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Bobby and I were already in, I think. But Lunchbox could have thought it was a guy, and then he knows it's a girl.

[Eddie Ray]

Lunchbox. Did you know that one? No.

[Bobby Bones]

You gave a hint in the question.

[Lunchbox]

You can't have it because the only two I thought of were Ryan, but I didn't think he was in that Suicide Squad, so I had that girl.

[Eddie Ray]

Come on, you gotta let me back in.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're about.

[Kenny Chesney]

You're not.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't lose.

[Eddie Ray]

I'm just out of that one. I got that one wrong.

[Bobby Bones]

Ray.

[Lunchbox]

Mike.

[Joel and Matt]

You guys are good.

[Lunchbox]

Point.

[Eddie Ray]

Damn. So I lost two in a row there.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Another one. Monsters Ball.

[Lunchbox]

Catwoman.

[Bobby Bones]

X Men. I'm in. And this is number five. Yeah.

[Austin Hankwitz]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Ooh. Can I get back in there?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox might get it, though.

[Lunchbox]

Sam.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Again.

[Bobby Bones]

Monsters Ball. Catwoman, X Men.

[Lunchbox]

God, I don't even know what those are. I mean, I know what X Men is, but I've never seen it.

[Bobby Bones]

Have a shot.

[Lunchbox]

I'm in for the win.

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox. Halle Berry. I win. It's Halle Berry.

[Eddie Ray]

You were, like, just joking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I was. I don't have Halle Berry. I Don't either, because Monsters ball is Charlize Theron.

[Eddie Ray]

No, that's just monster.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it is?

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, dang.

[Eddie Ray]

It's a monster.

[Lunchbox]

I didn't know what Monster's ball is.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Do you have Charlize Theron? Oh, I have Scarlett Johansson.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, why?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Because, like a black suit. I don't know, tight black suit. Oh, she's. She's. She's a spider girl.

[Bobby Bones]

Man, we have some dysfunctional thinking how we're getting movies. Eddie, what do you have?

[Eddie Ray]

Michelle Pfeiffer?

[Bobby Bones]

Lunchbox is Halle Berry. Is Halle Berry, right? Is it Halle Berry? All right, there you go. Lunchbox is the winner. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Well, this story just makes me smile. Did know that teenagers could be firefighters?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know that I want that.

[Austin Hankwitz]

No.

[Joel and Matt]

Maybe.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe an assistant. But if my house is on fire and I see the teen gang out.

[Austin Hankwitz]

There, technically, it's called being a junior firefighter. But shout out to 14 year old Briella Needer because she's following in her father's footsteps. He's worked at the fire department for 25 years, and she's watched her dad respond to emergency calls, do his thing. And now that she is the youngest female junior firefighter at Garden Spot Fire Rescue, she responds to calls alongside her dad. And she's seen jumping into action, hooking up hydrants, preparing equipment for crews on scene. And so I think they have designated tasks they can do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it sounds like a good intern. I like that. I don't need kids. Do the darndest things. Trying to put my fire out of my house.

[Eddie Ray]

Can you imagine? They're like, bro, check this out.

[Bobby Bones]

This fire's lit. No wrist. Literally, it's lit. Yeah.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Hey, film this.

[Bobby Bones]

I like it. That she knows what she wants to do. Yeah, watch. I'm gonna do this dance in front of the fire. Get this for TikTok, right?

[Austin Hankwitz]

She does have a dream of becoming a flight nurse. So she says this role is providing her a head start on that dream. And I just think it's cool that she gets to also do it alongside her dad. Like how? How? Like cool memories that they're making.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not trying to be a hater. I just want to take. Take that.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Oh, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Put that out there. I like it. I just don't want, you know, the ninth grade fire team getting sent to my house. I need the adults.

[Austin Hankwitz]

And she has encouragement for other teens out there. No matter if you're female or male, just be Confident. And go. Try it. It definite. My life a lot, bruh.

[Bobby Bones]

Find your aura, bruh.

[Eddie Ray]

Go.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, good. There you go. That's what it's all about.

[Kenny Chesney]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Wake up. You wake up in the morning.

[Lunchbox]

Turn.

[Bobby Bones]

The radio on, and the dial just keeps on turning. Then you hear. Mike is riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what? This is. The Bobby Bone store. Now time for the morning corny. The morning corny.

[Austin Hankwitz]

When should you ask someone out on a coffee date?

[Bobby Bones]

When.

[Austin Hankwitz]

When you like them a latte.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning corn. All right, let's play this. Voicemail.

[Caller/Listener]

Don't listen to Lunchbox about not baby proofing your house. Because the only memory I have of being a baby is being so hungry and crawling towards an electrical outlet on a wall thinking it was food. I put my tongue on it and I was shocked. I guess that's why I remember it. So definitely protect your child by. By doing those covers on the electrical outlets.

[Bobby Bones]

Does anybody have a memory as a baby? I don't have a single memory as a baby. My first memory, I believe, is my fifth birthday party.

[Kenny Chesney]

Four.

[Bobby Bones]

Four to five. That's my first memory. I've tried to dig. I can't find anything. You?

[Austin Hankwitz]

Yeah. I mean, mine's about that same age. I think I was five. But I remember it because of. It was a traumatic event.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you like outlet?

[Austin Hankwitz]

No. The elevator one. My sister. We were on a family vacation. My sister put me on an elevator and just me. She was supposed to stay with me as my older sister, but she pressed down and then stepped off the elevator and sent me down, not knowing where I would go or where I could. Would end up. But she didn't care. She just thought it would be funny. And I was terrified.

[Bobby Bones]

First memory.

[Eddie Ray]

I was five. First day of kindergarten. That's what I remember. And it was very memorable because my aunt was staying with us and she left a razor in our shot on our bath.

[Bobby Bones]

Bath.

[Eddie Ray]

Bathtub. And so I ra. I razored my arms.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie Ray]

All the hair off my arms.

[Lunchbox]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

I thought, like, you cut yourself now.

[Eddie Ray]

There were some cuts too. But I remember going to school for the first time ever and being like, I don't have any hair. I've cuts in my arms, and I don't know what I'm doing here at the school.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Trauma. Mine's a birthday party.

[Eddie Ray]

That's good. Good.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember my aunt got me a little radio, and they had called the radio guy the dj, and he said, my Birthday. It's my name on the radio.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Oh, that's cool.

[Eddie Ray]

That's when it all started.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Look. That's a happy one.

[Bobby Bones]

It's before that, because I'd already wanted. I'd already wanted. That's why she knew that.

[Kenny Chesney]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't remember, but I think I already knew what I wanted to do.

[Eddie Ray]

When they said your name on the radio, that was the coolest thing ever.

[Bobby Bones]

Maybe so. Lunchbox.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, I got memories when I was, like, three, four years old. I mean, I remember the kid across the street got his hand, like, caught in his bike spokes. And so the ambulance showed up. I remember Jason Gilbert had, like, a little honeysuckle. Like, the bees loved this plant in front of his house. And you'd go and suck the flower, and you would get, like, great taste. It was so good. I remember a lot of stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

I remember going, you guys gonna do honeysuckles?

[Eddie Ray]

No. You could still.

[Bobby Bones]

You guys didn't do honeysuckles? That's all we did in Arkansas. So good. A little overrated because there wasn't much in there, but.

[Lunchbox]

Right. But as a kid, you thought it was so cool that you could just take this plant, suck it, and it was like, wow.

[Bobby Bones]

You had a friend named Jason, what?

[Kenny Chesney]

Gilbert.

[Lunchbox]

He was my brother.

[Bobby Bones]

Where the name Jason Gibbles come from? Stole his name.

[Lunchbox]

Gilbert was my brother's age, and he lived down the street, and so he's the one that had him. And then there was a. A park down the street, and I remember walking behind the tennis courts with my dad and my brother. And my dad. My brother found a 20 bill, and I found a dollar and 32 cents.

[Bobby Bones]

And I knew life wasn't fair.

[Lunchbox]

Yes. That's when I realized life hated me. And ever since, the world's been out to get me.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the voicemail. You guys can leave us a voicemail anytime. 877-77. Bobby Bones. So I got a baby doll, I think is what you call it. And I was practicing doing diaper changes on the doll.

[Eddie Ray]

I saw the picture. How are you doing?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good.

[Eddie Ray]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Yeah, Pretty good. No problem. If those babies don't kick, I'm good.

[Eddie Ray]

But you just practice the changing, not like the wiping and all that. Right? Because there's nothing to wipe.

[Bobby Bones]

There's nothing to wipe. But I still like. There's a technique that I looked up on YouTube before I was practicing on the doll. When you grab the feet of the baby, you do it with one hand, and there's a. The thumb goes in the middle so they don't kick.

[Eddie Ray]

That's right.

[Bobby Bones]

Now, from that, you lift a little, and while the diaper is still dirty, you slide the clean diaper underneath the dirty diaper. Therefore, when you pull off the dirty diaper, if there's a blowout or anything, it does happen. Instead of getting on the table, it gets on the other diaper, and then you throw them both away.

[Eddie Ray]

Oh, who taught you that?

[Bobby Bones]

The Internet. Wow.

[Eddie Ray]

That's smart.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't come up with it, so I grabbed the baby by the feet. Let's baby up. Take the diaper off, pull the dirty diaper out, fasten it, and then on the sides of the legs, you got to make sure that those. Those edges are out.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah, that's the sticky edges.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're out, not in. So I probably did, like, 20 or so. Wow.

[Eddie Ray]

20.

[Bobby Bones]

But as. As I was doing this, I was thinking that you never changed the diaper of your kids.

[Eddie Ray]

No, that's not true. I changed my. A handful. My wife just always beat me to it, dude. Like, it was one of those things where, like, I. Okay, I will admit, sometimes I would act like I didn't smell it, and it would smell so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie Ray]

And my wife be like, did you not smell that? Be like, smell what? This diaper is nasty. And I'd be like, oh, I didn't even notice. So then she would change it.

[Bobby Bones]

How many diapers of your first two children do you think you changed? Honestly?

[Eddie Ray]

My first Two children?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie Ray]

20. 15. 15. Like, realistically, 15? Possibly 20.

[Bobby Bones]

So seven or eight. Yeah. Each.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And she didn't care?

[Eddie Ray]

No, she would just do it. I think after a while, she was just like, why am I gonna wait.

[Bobby Bones]

For you to do it?

[Eddie Ray]

I'll just do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's what I practiced. I practiced the diaper. By the way, my wife's pregnant. In case you guys are wondering why I'm practicing on a. On a baby doll. I don't know they're called baby dolls anymore. A doll or whatever it is. And I posted the picture on my Instagram @MrBobbybones, and people thought that was a real baby, that I was either announcing the baby was here.

[Eddie Ray]

Stop. What's wrong with people? That was clearly a doll.

[Bobby Bones]

And it had such a happy look on its face and a lot of hair. But, yeah, over on my Instagram, Mr. Bobby Bones, you can see this. So I did that, and then I practiced swaddling.

[Eddie Ray]

That's the vet, dude. I was so good at swaddling.

[Bobby Bones]

So you did that, though.

[Eddie Ray]

That I swaddled all the time. My wife would give me the baby and be like, will you. Swaddling, please?

[Bobby Bones]

You just didn't like the poop part of it, dude.

[Eddie Ray]

It's disgusting. And people are like, oh, you just get used to the smell. I never got used to that smell. It's. That's one thing you're not.

[Bobby Bones]

You're not ready for that, even with dogs. And I clean up after my dogs. And Stanley's been sick a hundred times because he's a bulldog and he's always sick.

[Eddie Ray]

It's a different smell, that baby smell, dude. And sometimes maybe it's the baby food or what they're eating, or the breast milk. I don't know what it is. It's nasty.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I learned too? When a baby is upside down in the belly of a woman.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Why doesn't the blood rush to the baby's head? And I guessed correctly, but I wasn't for sure because, you know, if we're hanging upside down and we're. Let's say we're in a closet and we have our feet over and we're hanging upside down, all the blood rushes to our head. Yeah. If we're on handle monkey bars.

[Eddie Ray]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You can't. Blood rushes to our head. So why do you think that is?

[Eddie Ray]

My guess is that they're in fluid, ambiotic fluid, and therefore they're anti gravity, so there's no gravity anywhere.

[Bobby Bones]

So in liquid. That is true. If you did in a pool, your blood also wouldn't rush to your head. So. Is that right? Yes.

[Eddie Ray]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Good job.

[Eddie Ray]

You nailed it. Right away.

[Bobby Bones]

I got it right. But it wasn't because I knew it was because I. I strictly guessed.

[Eddie Ray]

You know, sometimes the babies are not upside down. That's. That's like a problem at birth.

[Bobby Bones]

It could come out. Breach.

[Kenny Chesney]

That's it.

[Eddie Ray]

That's what they call it.

[Bobby Bones]

So if that's the case, I've learned about this and they. If it's breach, breach, they have to go in, don't they? And like, like cesarean C section. Yeah, man. I'm straight up, straight up at the baby world right now. A big shout out to everybody now all over the country that's doing everything possible to make sure people are warm and make sure people have power and make sure people are bouncing back. After this winter storm where we are right now, we still don't have power. In my house. It's cold, cold, cold at night. We're eight. Blanketing it up. We're fire. Placing it up. We're doing everything we can because we still don't have power. We're fortunate, though. We have a house that has good insulation and we're riding it out. A lot of places, a lot of places, a lot of people don't have that, so. But there are a lot of people stepping up. There's one non profit that I was reading about called Motor City Mitten mission. They spent 16 hours on the streets, found more than 200 people in need of shelter across all these towns, and just making sure that they have gloves. What I did is I found some old football gloves, and I wore them because I was out trying to move trees. We have trees downhill in our front yard, our backyard. Football gloves. Not really meant for that.

[Eddie Ray]

No, man. They can catch footballs, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're good. They're tacky. They got a little tack on them, but holy cow, this is cold. They're still cold. The group that I was talking about, Motor City Mitten Mission, they gave mills cold weather supplies and searched areas like alleyways, bus stops, behind dumpsters to make sure that people were good. And if they weren't, they got them to local shelters, including a lot of homeless people. And so the nonprofit is working with the city of Detroit to operate an after hours helpline as well. So WXYZ with the story, it's. People are going through it right now. So I want to shout out to everybody who's going through it as well and everybody who's helping people go through it, like, you guys are making a massive difference. So appreciate you. Bobby Bone show Bonehead Story of the day.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes from South Miami, Florida. A woman was at the Dollar General. She needed a ride home. She calls a lift. Rideshare guy shows up. She's like, hey, I got a lot of bags. Can you help me put them in the trunk? Dude gets out of the car, starts putting the bags in the trunk. She jumps in the driver's seat, takes off with the car, steals the car, steals the car.

[Bobby Bones]

They can track a lift, though, pretty easily, right?

[Lunchbox]

Yeah, because it has your information on it and she drove it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, it has your information even not in the car, Just like in the app. So where'd she go?

[Lunchbox]

To her house. Literally drove it to her house.

[Bobby Bones]

Was she drunk?

[Lunchbox]

They believe she was under the influence of something powdery substance. Because there was something found in her pocket.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Why are you scared to say that?

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you scared to say the word?

[Lunchbox]

Well, I'm just saying, like.

[Bobby Bones]

No, you're not just saying. That's what you did say it at all.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Like white powder?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Austin Hankwitz]

Okay, like. Like, we don't say.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, don't say it.

[Austin Hankwitz]

This show.

[Bobby Bones]

That's crazy. All right, good job.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Bobby Bones]

All right, here's a voicemail.

[Caller/Listener]

I started calling the owner of my company, Big Dog. Just casually just walking around, he'll ask me to do something. I said, you got a big dog? Or he'll come in, good morning, Big Dog. He loves it. Loves it and hasn't said a word about me saying it. He just kind of goes, hey. Gets a big smile on his face. So I've been doing that for, I don't know, the last three or four days. Gonna continue to do it because I think it's hysterical. All right, hope everyone is doing well. Have a great day. Love the show. Love you all. Bye.

[Bobby Bones]

Thank you for the call, Big Dog. Appreciate that. For those that don't know, Amy's trying to incorporate that in just to her normal, everyday language because she heard if you say that to dudes, like, dudes are more open to you. So she hasn't done it yet. All right, thank you, guys. We'll see you tomorrow. Bye, everybody. The Bobby Bones show theme song written, produced, and sang by Reed Yarberry.
