[Parker McCollum]

Here we go.

[Bobby Bones]

Come on, Bobby.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Transmitting across America.

[Bobby Bones]

Welcome to Tuesday's show. Morning Studio. Morning. All right, here's a voicemail.

[Parker McCollum]

I asked him what he wants and.

[Bobby Bones]

He said he wanted to look cool if he's having an identity crisis or something. But I'm wondering what stall you guys would suggest looking into any nice male.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Clothing store that you know, if I.

[Bobby Bones]

Could get everyone's opinion other than Lunchbox.

[Parker McCollum]

That would be amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Sorry, lunch. I love you. So she's talking about her husband, what he wants for Christmas. And he just wants to look cool.

[Eddie]

So that's all you, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I just want to ask, and I know all the guys are going to give me a hard time for this. I just pulled up my phone. This is a picture that I have literally 10 pictures ago. So this is not like a bit that I had planned. If I see a guy that looks cool wearing clothes I like, I screenshot the guy.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my gosh.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Oh.

[Amy]

And you try to recreate it or.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I like the vibe.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if I'm gonna go somewhere, I'll be, I'll tell my wife, I'll go, hey, I like how this guy looked. Can you find, can you help me? Or I go and find stuff. So I will take. I will screenshot men wearing cool things. And then, you know, you delete.

[Eddie]

You delete those pictures. I mean, they just stay on your picture.

[Lunchbox]

So embarrassing.

[Bobby Bones]

I mean, I probably have 50 or 60 over the years.

[Lunchbox]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

There are some. My wife will hit me back with VI pictures too. She's like, hey, I liked it when like, Ryan Gosling was on Fallon. He was wearing this. Do you like this look? Especially when I was like doing award shows. Like, if I'm, you know, at the acm, I'm not the host. I'm, like, the second guy. She's like, you should wear something like this. Yeah, a lot of my pictures are, like, random dudes I don't know, wearing clothes I like.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay. So it's professional.

[Bobby Bones]

No, some of it. I mean, I wear the same thing to work every day. A cardigan and pants. But, yeah, but if I'm gonna go play the Opry or. I just like the vibes of the. Of guys.

[Amy]

Yeah, you just. That's your inspo inspiration.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't really call it inspo, but, yeah, I feel you. Is that first of all to you? Is that weird?

[Amy]

It is not weird, because I know a lot of women that do it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's not what I asked. What about guys?

[Eddie]

See, that's why we think it's weird.

[Amy]

I. I don't know any guys that do it, but it's still not weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Hey, Bobby, you're not weird. Like, exact same fault.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, you do?

[Amy]

Okay, so Mike D. Has it. And I would say, thanks for your.

[Bobby Bones]

Vulnerability, Mike, because you know you're about to get attacked.

[Amy]

Well, no, Mike dresses well.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

So that makes sense. So he has a vibe, and I.

[Eddie]

Just wear what you give me.

[Bobby Bones]

So I guess.

[Parker McCollum]

I guess.

[Eddie]

You know what, dude? I'm on board, too, man.

[Bobby Bones]

You'll be wearing this in three years. I like that. Okay, so you want to know stores.

[Amy]

I guess it just depends on the vibe.

[Lunchbox]

It's weird.

[Bobby Bones]

What is?

[Lunchbox]

That you take pictures of dudes and you save them in your phone, like, for inspiration. It's just weird. And going to Mike D. Like, acting like he's like, that's even weird. I mean, Mike D. Is weird. So him doing it and you doing it is weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude, you wear one hoodie, so. To work.

[Eddie]

That's why.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why she was like, I don't care about lunch. You don't. You don't really wear clothes, but lunchbox.

[Amy]

You when you're outside of work, if we have an event, you have a stylist.

[Lunchbox]

But I don't take pictures of dudes. I go to the store, and I'm like, does this match? Does this match?

[Amy]

And you send it to him, and.

[Lunchbox]

I. I say, does it match? Because I don't know what matches. But that's not me going and taking pictures of dudes and saying, I want to look like that. Like, I don't do.

[Eddie]

I do.

[Bobby Bones]

I do like the vibe, though. Like, look, he's got jeans on.

[Lunchbox]

Oh, my Gosh.

[Eddie]

Oh, that looks good.

[Bobby Bones]

And like a cat. Like a kind of cow hide type jacket.

[Eddie]

Is that a tie or three layers?

[Bobby Bones]

It's a tie.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Amy]

White shirt, black tie.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So do you want to recommend any sort of men's store?

[Amy]

Well, that's what. That's what I think is difficult because I don't know his style or what vibe he's going for, but a place where I found some really good basics, because I think a good. Like a good tee on a guy with like, a sweater over it or something. And those good basics, like J. Crew in Banana Republic.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

Is where that picture's from. I was gonna go J. Crew first.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because they have good, good, like, foundation pieces.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Basic pieces. And then you can build on those. And also they have really good deals.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you looking with a weird face? Do you also think I'm weird? No, no, no.

[Rob Gronkowski]

We're making fun of Lunchbox back here.

[Eddie]

I recommend your local TJ Maxx or Marshalls.

[Amy]

Yeah, don't sleep on that.

[Lunchbox]

They do sleep on coals.

[Bobby Bones]

You gotta pick out the right stuff. He doesn't pick out the right stuff, but you got it. But they do have good stuff there too. You know what is pretty good, and it's gonna sound like a child store maybe is Abercrombie. They have good stuff. They've definitely updated their.

[Amy]

No, I have that.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

J.

[Amy]

Crew, Abercrombie, Banana Republic. Like, all good basics that he'll. He could wear over and over and like, interchange a few things.

[Bobby Bones]

And you can go like the Nordstrom, but they have everything. So I feel kind of like a cop out going Nordstrom because it's just like a rich person store that has every brand but the. I would recommend J. Crew because they have really solid stuff. That's literally the picture that I took from that website. And Banana Republic's great because they're kind of cool again. They had to fall off for a little bit. They're back. And Abercrombie has really good men's clothes, which you just think that shirtless dude. That would stand outside of the store at the mall.

[Amy]

Yeah, it's different.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, go to the West.

[Amy]

Even for women now, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, it is.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, as I find really good basics there. Like, they have great jeans and all of these stores too. Like, don't. Don't pay full price there either. Like, go online. They'll have different sales or, you know, give them your email and your phone number and you'll get 20% off.

[Bobby Bones]

That's how she gets hacked, guys. Like, she literally just walked us through how she ends up being scammed. Okay, give me the next one, please. You guys were talking about no shoes in the house.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

And, Bobby, I guess my question is.

[Bobby Bones]

Just, I know you have dogs, so.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

What do you do with them?

[Parker McCollum]

I mean, my dogs are in and out so much.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you wipe their feet coming in and out?

[Parker McCollum]

Do they have a mat or something? I know you moved to the no.

[Bobby Bones]

Shoe house, so just curious.

[Amy]

Thanks.

[Bobby Bones]

That is a great question. Yes, 85 of the time, unless they sprint into the house. But now I keep the doors closed. Even coming back, I do wipe their feet quickly. So we have a towel right there. And so I just wipe, wipe, wipe. Because my wife is no shoes, I now abide by that. And the dogs are also no shoes, but they live no shoes.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's their life.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they're Kenny Chesney dogs. No shoes, no shirts.

[Eddie]

No problem.

[Bobby Bones]

No problem at all. So, yeah, for the most part, especially if it's wet outside, we'll definitely do some wiping. You guys can hit us up our voicemail lines. 8, 7, 7. 77. Bobby, leave a voicemail anytime. Bones had an article on Buzzfeed about the ick list of celebrities, and they listed the top 10 celebrities that they think give people the ick. And so I'll go. We'll go 10 to 1. You just tell me, Amy, what were you. Were you. 10 means like. Like, cringe, ick. Bad one means. No, you actually really, really like them. All right, number 10 is Benson Boone.

[Amy]

Oh, I don't get the ick from him at all.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't mind it. I like his backflips off pianos and stuff.

[Amy]

Like, he's so talented and entertaining.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And he's a great performer.

[Eddie]

His songs are good.

[Amy]

No ick.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I mean, if I was only gonna ick, I'd be. It would be ick out of jealousy because he's also ripped up and good looking.

[Amy]

That's what I was about to say. Anybody that's icking is jealous.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Like, he doesn't wear a shirt, and I'm, like, jealous ick. Yeah. But, yeah, I have no ick toward Vincent Boone. Okay. So I'm going to go to. Because the one extra would be just jealousy because he's frigging ripped up like a maniac. What's yours? One Gwyneth Paltrow. Number. Number nine on their list.

[Amy]

I get why people ick her at times, but she doesn't ick me out as much, so I'LL go to.

[Bobby Bones]

I would speculate that a lot of the ick from her has been her inserting herself as an expert in the healthcare, mental wellness, that kind of space. Like, I. I now am gonna have a company. I know all this. And it's like, she's an actress, right?

[Amy]

Yeah. But she has put a lot of work into that part of her brand.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm just.

[Eddie]

She owns business.

[Bobby Bones]

I know you're in love with her, but all my point is, I think that's why people are irritated. I think that's why they would be.

[Amy]

Some of it be a little bit.

[Parker McCollum]

She.

[Amy]

She has had this wonderful life of privilege.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And grew up rich.

[Amy]

Yeah. But some people could be jealous of that.

[Bobby Bones]

What's your ick Level two. I'm gonna go four. Because I'm team Chris Martin. I love Coldplay.

[Eddie]

They like each other. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I just like Coldplay, though.

[Amy]

Yeah, but they. Something. There's something they don't like about each other.

[Bobby Bones]

Drake.

[Amy]

Drake. I don't even think about him, except for sometimes he pops up on my feed talking on podcasts or something. Whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

What podcast? Just Bobby Altoff. That's about the only podcast he's done.

[Amy]

Yeah, I guess that's it.

[Bobby Bones]

All the clips of that.

[Amy]

He's just, like, laying on a bed.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's exactly who that is.

[Amy]

Yeah. Like, Drake doesn't bother me. Although I like Kendrick Lamar. It does bother me. I am kind of ick about the, you know, a minor. So we gotta take away some or add some points for that. So let's go five, just in case.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I like that you're covering your bases.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

In case worst stuff comes out.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Hedging your bets, I see. I'm gonna go six, like, as far as, like, pop rappers makes the greatest songs. However, he tried to kick me out of a restaurant once.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I hold that against him to this day.

[Eddie]

Not you, everyone in the restaurant.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, there's only two other two. Two couples in the whole restaurant.

[Eddie]

Well, then you, then.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And all us people show up in Air Jordan gear, and we don't know it's his people. They're just massive dudes with the Jordan logo on, like, their jackets. And there's just like, a hubbub. And then all of a sudden, the hubbub's gone, and waiter comes over. We're like, what happened? They're like, yeah. Drake wanted to clear everybody out from the restaurant so we could have dinner.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, well, do we have to leave?

[Eddie]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

And they were like, no, we've now put them in a place. We're not going to make everybody leave the restaurant. So seven. But three of those points are from the restaurant incident. Alec Baldwin.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Oh.

[Amy]

If I really think about it, I mean, I'm not bothered. I am. Until I start thinking back to the time that. Didn't he call his daughter a pig?

[Bobby Bones]

He got in a fight with his kid.

[Amy]

Yeah. So let's hope he's evolved a little since then.

[Sophie Cunningham]

8.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think about him. It's like you whenever you had Drake. 3. I don't really hate him that much. I like it. His act like 30 Rock.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He was awesome in that. Like, there are roles that are redeeming, even if maybe you're weird and bad. Like, if you rock a role. I'm like, you know what? Maybe they're not such a bad person. Justin Timberlake, please.

[Amy]

I don't want to ick him, but sometimes he icks me. Like when he got pulled over and was like talking about his world tour.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, that was funny.

[Rob Gronkowski]

He had.

[Amy]

He was getting a dude ui. So sadly, all of his videos from his concerts lately also put him up there.

[Eddie]

Lyme disease.

[Amy]

6.

[Bobby Bones]

Man. Justin Timberlake was like my favorite for a long time.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Same. I'm going to go six as well. A little bit of nostalgia keeps it from being eight. He's so talented.

[Eddie]

The. The cop video is pretty funny.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Taylor Swift is at 5 on their list. 1.

[Amy]

Is that the lowest I can go? Because she doesn't give me the.

[Eddie]

You have no ick.

[Amy]

No ick. No. Taylor's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I try to find a reason to even feel ick.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I try to find with everybody.

[Amy]

And I'm not obsessed with her like I used to.

[Bobby Bones]

People just get mad that she's successful and it's like, owned it.

[Amy]

She's so smart.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go one as well.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Together.

[Amy]

Together.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they're together at 4. You can do them even individually.

[Amy]

No, I'll just do them together. Let's give them a. Since they're together. Six.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so I'd give like Lively like an eight and Ryan Reynolds like a four. So I would go with six. I'd have to equal that out as well on that one. Jared Leto.

[Amy]

No. No thoughts. So one.

[Bobby Bones]

I met him once. He wasn't not nice.

[Amy]

Yeah. Was it at iHeart Festival?

[Bobby Bones]

It was like backstage at something at some festival.

[Eddie]

Was he in character?

[Bobby Bones]

He was by himself.

[Parker McCollum]

He.

[Bobby Bones]

Himself walking. And I was just Walking. So it wasn't an IR festival.

[Amy]

Oh, it wasn't.

[Bobby Bones]

It was some other event, though. And he looked like Jesus. He was dressed in all white and he had his long hair. And I just remember he smelled really good. And I said, hey, man, big fan of 30 Seconds to Mars. And he was like, thank you, man. He just kept walking. So I didn't ask a lot of him. He didn't give a lot to me, but he gave me what I gave him.

[Eddie]

When you say he smells good, like cologne?

[Bobby Bones]

No, lotion.

[Eddie]

Soap.

[Better Picks Announcer]

Lotion.

[Eddie]

Lotion?

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Like, how do you know it was lotion?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't, but he asked me what it smelled like.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, like.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I have no idea what he does.

[Amy]

He was like.

[Bobby Bones]

But it smelled like a solid lotion. Chris Pratt.

[Amy]

No ick. One.

[Bobby Bones]

No ick.

[Amy]

No ick.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

What would he. What would I have really towards him for?

[Eddie]

He's a little annoying.

[Bobby Bones]

He's one of the most talented guys, I think he just gets, you know, Guardians of the Galaxy or Man, if you go with Parks and Rec. Hilarious. You ever watch him rap Eminem? He lived in a van. He was homeless in a van in Hawaii. Like, just living. I don't know. He can play Ripped Up Guy and he can play Fat Guy. He can do both. I don't know. I like Chris Pratt.

[Eddie]

I think he was just Fat Guy, and now he's Ripped Up Guy.

[Bobby Bones]

Nobody. He does. He plays characters as both of them, though. Like, he get. He gets jobs as both.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Amy]

I saw him doing some Prayer Bible Lab commercials the other day, and I was like, huh. I didn't know that about. I mean, I didn't know he was.

[Eddie]

Maybe that's just a job.

[Amy]

No, no, it wasn't just a job. I did wonder if he got paid for it, though, because I'm like, yeah, you know, that's a tricky time.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet. So it's a business.

[Eddie]

It's an app.

[Amy]

I know, but then I was like, maybe he has invested in the app.

[Bobby Bones]

That's still getting okay, but that's still getting paid, right?

[Amy]

I know. It's just tricky.

[Bobby Bones]

Number one, Katy Perry.

[Amy]

I don't have the feelings like you have towards her. So I worked with her for four years by proxy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. 10.

[Amy]

So then I'll give her a 7.

[Bobby Bones]

10.

[Amy]

If you giving her a 10, then I'll give her a 7.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go hard 10. Can I go 11? It's like when you did Taylor.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I can only go 10. Okay, that's fine. It's the anonymous. Hello, Bobby Bones. I've been going to the same girl for hair for over two years. She's great, but her prices just went up again, like, almost $50 more for the same cut and color. Money's tight right now, so instead of tipping my usual 20% because it was well more, I tipped a little less. When I went to pay, she saw the screen and said, oh, okay. It felt like she was reacting to the tip. Now I'm overthinking everything. I love her work, but I don't want to go broke trying to avoid an awkward moment every six weeks. Sign. Trying not to go broke. Not my specialty. Amy, take it.

[Amy]

Yeah, so I hate that she's right there with you and you're giving the tip. So I had my hair done this week, and what was awesome is my hair person. She walks away when I'm entering in the tip stuff. She's like, oh, my gosh, so glad to see you. Like, I'll see you next time. Hug. And she walks away. And then I'm there with the machine to just finish my thing, and it makes it less awkward. So, yeah, I hate that you were in that situation. And, I mean, I think that she's just gonna have to understand. And I don't like that she even responded to, like, oh, oh, okay. Because then that's also uncomfortable. Like, it's hard, but you. You could also start to look for other places that have better prices that now fit your budget.

[Bobby Bones]

I'll totally go with that because this is all foreign language to me as far as, like, cuts and colors.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

The thing about tips, I do. I will jump in here. I tip a good amount because I relied on tips for a portion of my life. When they walk away, I get mad.

[Amy]

Wait, what?

[Bobby Bones]

I tip the crap out of them, and I want them to see it.

[Amy]

I still tip.

[Bobby Bones]

Then I wonder if they ever get to see it. It goes into a pool. They don't even know.

[Amy]

They know I still tip appropriately, but I just think it's.

[Bobby Bones]

I agree, but I'm just telling you my personal.

[Amy]

Yeah, so, like, she's lingering over, like, trying to figure out.

[Bobby Bones]

I want them to linger like crazy. I want that screen to flip them to be like, okay, let's see. Yeah, I want that. I want, like, the little fist bump. Oh, thank you.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, I think you just give what you can. And I know how incredibly difficult it is to find a new stylist, especially if you've been with one for two years that you vibe with. But if prices went up and it's no longer in your budget, then that's when you may need to. To shift. Ask friends, like, who do you go to? Price compare and try to figure out if there's another place you can go to.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a question. Is hair the same as food? 20%?

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Amy]

Well, I do. I do 20.

[Bobby Bones]

So. Yeah. I didn't know if it was the same standard. Going to get a cut, and I call.

[Amy]

I mean, some people might do less, some people might do more, but I just keep it standard. 20.

[Bobby Bones]

Your hair looks good.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

Is it. Did you do something to it?

[Amy]

It's lighter.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's not as skunky.

[Amy]

Yeah. The roots, my roots had grown.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't mean that in a bad way.

[Amy]

No, no, I know.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know how to say that. Like. Because you had what you call them, like, happy endings.

[Amy]

Yeah, those are. Those have grown out since then, and I don't think that's what they were called. They're called money pieces, but money pieces, those.

[Bobby Bones]

That's on me.

[Eddie]

Very different.

[Amy]

Yeah, that's okay. Those have grown out.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks good. It looks really good now.

[Amy]

I had not had it colored.

[Bobby Bones]

HR is going to call me. I forgot. I can't comment on people's stuff anymore.

[Amy]

No, no, I'm fine with it. I just hadn't gotten in for a color appointment in a while, so I finally was able to get in. And she lifted up the color to. So it's not as rooty like you're talking about the roots. They were dark.

[Bobby Bones]

It purposefully was made to be dark. And then the money shot at the end. Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah. My ombre was ombre. Ing.

[Bobby Bones]

It's good.

[Sophie Cunningham]

It was fine.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's good now. I like it.

[Amy]

Thank you.

[Bobby Bones]

20% seems a little excessive on a hair, but that's such a significant bill. But it is what it is.

[Amy]

So I say do what you can.

[Bobby Bones]

[Bobby Bones]

I was talking with Caitlyn Bristow now she was on the Bachelor. I think she finished maybe second or third or something. Then she was the Bachelorette and then she got with Shawn Booth and they were engaged for a long time and then she went on Dancing with the Stars and she won that show. And so her and I were talking because we're both winners of Dancing with the Stars and the big finales tonight. And so I was just talking to her about how she got into it and how it was her dream to win.

[Eddie]

Bobby Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

When did you know you were going on?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

When I came off being the Bachelorette, the creator of the whole show, he never really liked me. I still don't think he really liked me.

[Bobby Bones]

Of which show?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

The Bachelor and Bachelorette. He kind of made it known that he didn't like me. Like it wasn't a secret. And so when I came off the show, he, Chris Soules was the Bachelor that I was on and he did Dancing with the Stars and then they called me and they said, do you want to come on the show? I freaked out because I danced my whole life, which I know is also controversial with that show that I dance background. But my mom was a professional ballerina. It was like my dream to.

[Bobby Bones]

Your mom was a pro ballerina? That is so cool.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah. She was one of the original members of the Alberta Ballet Company in Canada. I quit dancing at 25 because I wasn't good enough. And I, like, chose to not get any education after high school because I was, like, committed to wanting to dance. And so I felt like I failed as a dancer. And it was just always in the back of my mind. And when I went on the Bachelor, I was like, maybe I could go on Dancing with the Stars and, like, make my dreams come true. And so they asked me, and I remember just sobbing. I was so excited. I had the contract. I had it signed, and I was so new to tv. I don't know anything about what I signed for the Bachelor. I just was scribbling my initials on. Everything went, here you go. And so they were like, no, you can't do it. And the creator of the show said to me, I'm really sick of people wanting fame after my show, and you can focus on your relationship that you just had from the show instead. And I was. I don't know how they didn't sue me, because I went. I took it to Twitter, and I was like, sexist, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, Hannah Brown became the Bachelorette, and then she got to go on Dancing with the Stars. And so everyone was tweeting me or reaching out and being like, she went.

[Bobby Bones]

On before you did?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah. I was like, I'm not mad. I'm happy. I spoke up to say, like, why doesn't he let women go on the show? And why have all the men gotten to. And so I was happy for her. And then it was Covid, and they were doing, like, a Bachelor goat show where they were doing the best seasons and recapping them with Chris Harrison. And so Chris Harrison was like, will you jump on a zoom with me to recap your show? I said, yes. And at the end, he goes, well, I have a really important question for you. And I was like, what? And he went, well, you. I could still cry. He was like, do you want to go on Dancing with the Stars? And I. I was just in pure shock. Like, I just. My reaction was just. And I. I couldn't even speak.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't know it was coming at all?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

No idea. And it was so long after I'd been on the show that I was like, I feel like a washed up reality star at this point. Like, you were really want me to go on. And then to win. It felt like such a full circle because I'd always wanted to be looked at as a dancer, and it was just so exciting for me. I always tell my. I'm Canadian. It's like somebody not making it to the NHL, being really close, but not making it. And then 10 years later, getting asked to play in the Stanley cup finals and winning and knowing what that feels like, I was like, this is my Stanley Cup.

[Bobby Bones]

So it ma. It really mattered to you?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Oh, so much. It was again, like the. You know how it is. The whole experience was just so incredible. And even though I was like in the fetal position crying every night and my bones were broken and I was just, like, falling, falling apart, I was like, I can't wait till the next day, and I can't wait to make it another week. And I'm like, I will win that. I would hold a fake mirror ball when I slept and I would manifest. I was crazy. So, yes, it meant everything to me.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Bones.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm talking with Kaitlyn Bristow. She was a contestant on the Bachelor, and then she was the Bachelorette, and then she won Dancing with the Stars. And so it was just two mirrorball champions, you know, chopping it up. And so we were doing superlatives as far as, like, the pros on Dancing with the Stars. You know, who's the coolest, how they can make it look like they're in love with their partner, but they're really not. Like, for the sake of good tv, let's do more superlatives for Dancing with the Stars.

[Lunchbox]

Yay.

[Bobby Bones]

Best all around of the pros.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Daniella. Sometimes I'm like, am I gay for her? Like, I'm like, so I felt that way with Val.

[Bobby Bones]

I felt that way. Val, am I gay for him? Yeah.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Like, there's just something about their swag, the way they move, how they can do it, the fact that they can, like, put aside that they could look like they're madly in love with whoever their partner is, and they compartmentalize it because that is their job. And they just know that chemistry translates to the audience. And I. Yeah, Val and Daniela.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm gonna go for me. Emma was my favorite. She's the best, like, Nobel human peace prize award.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Agreed.

[Bobby Bones]

I had troubles during my season. I think we all did at some point. And she would step in a and and be like, I Wonder. Let me help you.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I wonder what that would have felt like for me because I. Artem, was going through some stuff at home while we had our season. If I cried, he'd be like, you're wasting my time. And I agree with him. I was wasting time because we really wanted to win. And I would always tell him. And he knew if I said I had to go blow my nose, that means I was going to the bathroom to cry for five minutes and get it out of my system and come back and be ready. But Emma, I just got to work with her when I was dancing with Andy two weeks ago. And I was like, she is the most patient, fun, kind, a plus in every way. She is an a human being who.

[Bobby Bones]

Is like the coolest pro.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Pasha. Why Daniela's husband. Pasha is just so sure of himself and his relationship with Daniela. They have so much love and respect for one another. He is so patient and kind. He's very undercover, funny. And the way he dances is just so smooth and cool. Even when he's on, he still. It feels like he's just himself.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to give mine to Val for a couple reasons. One, he freaking plays a violin at a high level.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I know. That's the coolest thing.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's two things that traditionally men wouldn't go a dance and violin player. That's masculine, Right. That dude is a masculine dancing violin player.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

You are right.

[Bobby Bones]

And he's also so not. Was so nice to me.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Because I heard he's tough in the ballroom.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

But I mean, they all kind of.

[Bobby Bones]

They all. Yeah. And my partner was really hard on me. She should have been.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She wouldn't have got out of me what she got out of me. But we all also had the conversation early. Like, I was like, hey, I have to be coached.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And you cannot coach me too hard because we have the same goal, and it is to win.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

She thought I was crazy because she thought there was no chance we were going to win. She had made the finals multiple times and with a backstreet Boy, with a pro player never won. So I was her first win of all people. But, yeah, you can't coach me too hard. But we fought.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Oh, I bet. Yeah. I feel like they all do.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You're just close to that person so much that you. You fight with your friends occasionally.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And that relationship. And you had it with your partner. You're just together so much.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Well. And I don't like being told what to do.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

And I don't like being bad at something. I came in as people thinking I'm a dancer. So then I felt like I was just disappointing everybody with not being able to pick things up.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bones show. If you want to hear the full interview, because we did over an hour, just go search for the Bobby cast on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts, because we definitely got into her story from being on the Bachelor and the Bachelorette and way more of Dancing with the Stars. But it's a full hour on the Bobby cast. It's time for the good news with Amy.

[Amy]

All right, so in 2018, this teenager, Zach collapsed during a high school football game. He needed emergency brain surgery followed by a medically induced coma. He woke up about nine days later. And around the same time, this girl Isabella was recovering from a serious head injury after a car crash. So they were hanging out at the hospital together. Their family stayed in touch, and a few years later, they decided to go out to dinner. And then the rest is history. Now they're getting married. But guess how he proposed. He took her back to where they are.

[Bobby Bones]

You let us guess.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I was gonna say park rack.

[Bobby Bones]

You didn't let us guess. Okay, I wanna guess. Hot air balloon.

[Eddie]

That'd be cool. That'd be cool.

[Lunchbox]

Hospital bed.

[Amy]

He took it back to where it all began at the hospital.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what I figured. I just had airline to be.

[Amy]

Got the staff involved. And then there was this heart shaped floral display saying, will you marry me?

[Bobby Bones]

That's awesome. You just can't say guess and not let us guess. It throws us.

[Amy]

And it was more like a rhetorical question. Yeah, like I was just like. And guess what? He did. And I'm gonna tell you right away.

[Bobby Bones]

Awesome story. I do love it. I just like to play games.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That wasn't a fun game.

[Bobby Bones]

And that wasn't that fun of a game.

[Amy]

It reminds me of my friends that met in the nicu.

[Bobby Bones]

But did they meet or they were just babies in the same.

[Amy]

They were both in the NICU together. They're. They were born at the same time.

[Eddie]

Babies.

[Amy]

Yeah, they were babies.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's the story. And it's awesome. But they didn't meet. There was chemistry.

[Amy]

But it's like they were brought. And then we all ended up at Texas A and M together and they reconnected there and they never connected as babies.

[Bobby Bones]

This is the only problem I have with this story. I love this story. But they never connected as babies.

[Eddie]

That's pretty crazy.

[Amy]

Yeah, they did.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Yeah.

[Amy]

But it's Crazy enough when it's like, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They were at the same time. I don't want to take away from the story, but it does because Amy tells it in a way that it drives me crazy.

[Amy]

But I'm telling you the way that it happened, and this is very similar. So congrats to.

[Bobby Bones]

That's why that caller said they despised you. Really? No, I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding.

[Amy]

Congrats to Zach and Isabella.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a good story. That's it. That. That is what it's all about.

[Better Picks Announcer]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Go on the Bobby Bones show now.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Parker McCollum.

[Bobby Bones]

Parker, what's up, buddy?

[Parker McCollum]

Bless. Lots going on. It's all good stuff. It's the best time of year. How are you, Bobby?

[Bobby Bones]

Pretty good. What are you doing for Thanksgiving?

[Parker McCollum]

Eating.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I know.

[Parker McCollum]

Watching football. Texas A&M versus University of Texas. So it's good.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you an A and M guy?

[Parker McCollum]

I didn't go to college, Bobby, so I don't have.

[Bobby Bones]

I was just asking the question.

[Parker McCollum]

There is one that I root for over the other secretly. I will never reveal which one that is, but I just love Texas, man. As long as it's got Texas in it, I'm all about it.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, that's fair enough. Well, it's good to see you, my friend. I did see on your social media, and I think now it's way more of a story. But you were selling that car. I don't know anything about cars. So this Hellcat, did you ever drive that yourself? And that was in a music video, right?

[Parker McCollum]

Yes. And I will never, ever, ever personally sell a vehicle of mine ever again. I did not think that they were gonna blast that thing all over the Internet and advertise it as Parker McCollum's hellcat. I had a weird, you know, moment one day, and I was like, I'm just gonna sell all of my cars. I'm getting rid of them. I'm tired of worrying about them. I never drive them. I love cars very much, but. Yeah, and then people start sending me, like, I don't have tick tock, but like, they're sending me these videos and stuff from all over the Internet and the worldwide web. Parker McCollum's Hellcat for sale. His what kind of man? Music video Hellcat. I'm like, I don't really like that. I wanted to comment on it and be like, this guy's full of bs. It's not my car. But I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you? As it sold yet at the time we're talking, I don't know.

[Parker McCollum]

I don't. I don't. I have not kept up with it.

[Bobby Bones]

That's weird. They did that with a house we were selling once. It kind of went. It was a story, and then that was. That was weird. It felt a bit invasive. I don't know if that's how it felt with you.

[Parker McCollum]

Probably a little different if it was a home, you know, somewhere that you had lived and called your. Your literal dwelling, but, you know, a car, Like, I don't know. I mean, I hope the guy makes a ton of money on it. I didn't. I didn't even try to make a bunch of money off those cars. I was just like, get them out of my garage. What will you give them? I sold that and my C8.06 all together. One. One price, one deal. I was like, just get them the hell out of here.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you sold them to somebody, then they were selling them as your car. They're already gone from you?

[Parker McCollum]

Correct.

[Amy]

That's why he doesn't know. Like, I was thinking, like, why are you not keeping up with this? Or have you seen a deposit?

[Parker McCollum]

I didn't pick up on that. I understand the confusion. No, I sold the cars, and then people started sending to me that the guy sold them to was just advertising them as yours.

[Amy]

Oh, that sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, we thought you reflects and you were so rich that you don't even know. Like, that $100,000 car doesn't even affect it. You're like, bro, I don't know what comes.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah, I was thinking, wow, I apologize.

[Bobby Bones]

I was looking at your social media. You said 2025 was the fastest year of your life. What. What awesome happened in 2025?

[Parker McCollum]

It was my first year touring as a dad, and something me and my very close circle of friends and mentors have been talking about lately is, you know, being proud of yourself and being easy on yourself, which is something I struggle with a lot. So kind of at the end of the tour, I had this big reflection time, kind of my journal, and just kind of looking back at my year and was I proud of myself and happy with myself? And I said, man, this was my first year touring, and it was a new album year, so it was much more hectic, hectic and stressful and busy year than usual. And I did it all, you know, while my first year as being a dad and being on the road and managing all that, and. And I was. I was able to look back and be really proud of it, but it Just went by so quick. So being a dad was really the simultaneously being a singer and a full time touring performer, you know, that that was the biggest thing. But I mean did we played Red Rocks again. We sold out Rodeo Houston again. I mean, golly, so much stuff happened this year. I did so many, you know, I played a great golf course in, in Georgia with my dad, my brother, which was magical for two days. I mean, so much good stuff, man. It just. God's been good to me.

[Bobby Bones]

What's it like playing shows with George Strait has you. You guys relationship. Like is it. Are you guys closer now?

[Parker McCollum]

I mean, I would say we're closer now than we were the first 31 years of my life. He's a really quiet guy. He's a very normal guys guy. The more I'm around him and if I text him, he'll text me about sending pictures of Major playing guitar or listening to one of his songs or whatever and he'll shoot right back. And you know, he's always super kind in that regard. But man, to be totally honest, Bobby, I just try to leave him the hell alone. He's been. Even when I've played golf with him or you know, been on his bus after a show, I kind of just shut up and I watch. I know how it is on a much smaller scale with just people being around and wanting to talk to you and kind of get to know you a little bit. And so it's pretty interesting for me to be around him and watch him. He's been doing it for, you know, 50 something years and. And these are grown. It's kind of like being around McConaughey like you're watching grown adults like lose it over. Over this other grown adult that's standing there. And so I kind of just sit back and admire one, how well he handles it still and how gracious he is and how just normal he is and humble about the whole thing. But I don't ask him any questions, I don't bother him, I don't bug him. I never gonna ask him for a picture. You know, it's. He's just. He's the king. And I don't think you would really know it hanging out with him because he's just such a normal human being.

[Bobby Bones]

I was looking at the end of the year, you're doing a New Year's Eve show and you're doing the Dickey's arena in Fort Worth, Texas to do a New Year's Eve show. I mean, you only get to pick one place to do it. Obviously you want to do it at home, but the New Year's Eve shows, are they like casinos? Do they pay extra big if you're doing a New Year's Eve show?

[Parker McCollum]

You know, in Texas, it's a little different for us. That's kind of one of our sweet spots. You know, we. We know that Texas is. Has been our. I'm nothing without the state of Texas and especially the city of Fort Worth. That's really where it all started for me. So I kind of get excited when we start talking. You know, it's a year in advance. We're like, hey, we're gonna go play Dickies on, on. On New Year's Eve in Fort Worth. I know that's going to be a killer one.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you play at midnight when you do a midnight, or do you play, like, normal time of like, going at 9:30?

[Parker McCollum]

No, I tried to do that this year. I was like, I don't want to be on stage at midnight. Because the last time we did it, I missed the countdown by like two and a half minutes. In my ears and he's counting down. I never heard him. So, like, it was like 12:02 before. I'm like, all right, let's count down now. Everything we'd rehearsed, I screwed it up. And we had gone over it so many times, and I just got in the moment and just completely forgot to execute. So it's a little stressful. But, I mean, you don't go on stage till 10, 15, play an hour and 45 minutes, played till about 12:05, and then, you know, the night's over.

[Bobby Bones]

This song. What kind of man? How long ago did you write that?

[Parker McCollum]

Probably 20, 22.

[Bobby Bones]

Was it one that when you wrote, you felt like maybe it doesn't see the light of day? Like, what was the process of this song coming? One, getting recorded and then two, you picking it as a single.

[Parker McCollum]

I had had it in kind of the batch of songs from my previous album, Never Enough, and just never really was in love with it at the time. But when I wrote it, you know, I never sit down really to write songs. I just kind of play guitar all the time. And then, you know, I'll just ramble long enough, hopefully something cool will come out. And so what kind of man? I just kind of sang that first ver chorus in one take, just boom. Kind of freestyled it out and had that first verse on that course for a while. You know, I can tell when I. When I do co write if I have something like that. Like a verse in a chorus. I'll play it and you can tell right away what they think of it. And most co writers are going to be like, regardless of whether they like it or not, they're going to say, yeah, let's write it and finish it and get a song. But I can tell that they genuinely thought it had some substance and was worth our time and attention. So that always kind of juices me up. And we wrote that second verse and I've never had my wife Hallie Ray's always asked me when I'm gonna write songs about love going right. Because I have so many songs about it just going terribly wrong and being a pos. And so that was one that I was like, hey, this is kind of sort of about it going right. So, you know, when it came time to cut that, we actually cut that and Hope that I'm Enough as like, a trial run for me and my producer, Frank Liddell, that I'd switched to for this new record and they needed a new single for radio and Hope that I'm Enough was a little slow and what Kind of Man was a shuffle and fast and felt good. So it was kind of inevitably the single. But, yeah, I never dreamed that song would have the life that it's had.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, man, congratulations on it. I hope you have a great holiday. Good to see you. And I guess we'll probably see you around 20, 26. Yeah.

[Parker McCollum]

Look at you smile.

[Bobby Bones]

Selling cars. Well, I'm just still kind of blown away that the guy was like, I don't know, man. If a hundred thousand hits the checking account, I don't even acknowledge it these days.

[Parker McCollum]

That was so bad.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know.

[Parker McCollum]

I. So bad.

[Bobby Bones]

I felt the same. I did. Yeah. I literally thought you were just. You were selling the car. I didn't. I wouldn't even brought it up if it was some other dude selling the car. I don't want to, like, give him any free press, you know? All right, good to see you, buddy. And hopefully I'll see you soon.

[Parker McCollum]

Thanks, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, see you.

[Parker McCollum]

Parker.

[Bobby Bones]

Amy, I got something for you.

[Amy]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you need this, and I want you to take this a positive way, but Allstate has announced a new scam protection insurance.

[Eddie]

So you can do it, Amy.

[Lunchbox]

This is designed for you. Endorsement deal.

[Bobby Bones]

Endorsement deal.

[Amy]

I mean, maybe. Maybe. I can see where this could come in handy.

[Bobby Bones]

This is ABC News Live with a story.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Allstate announces that it will now pay back customers who fall victim to crypto scams or phishing texts or emails.

[Bobby Bones]

It comes as experts in the area.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Are telling people to be on high.

[Bobby Bones]

Alert for scams like these, especially during.

[Sophie Cunningham]

The holidays, and warning people that tend to fall for it more at this time.

[Bobby Bones]

Our Elizabeth Schulzie has all the details.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Elizabeth, how this works is that Allstate.

[Amy]

Will reimburse you up to $50,000 per year.

[Bobby Bones]

If you lose money to a scam.

[Amy]

You can file unlimited claims. Okay.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I mean, this is. I mean, these are the times we're living in.

[Bobby Bones]

We have Lifelock, and it says kind of the. The front side of that. So you need, like, the back half of that.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Amy]

I love when I get my Lifelock report and they tell me how many things they, like, intercepted, you know, like your force field.

[Bobby Bones]

What's like, stopping. Yeah, it's your missile defense system. Yes.

[Amy]

Yeah, like, that part's awesome. But I do think I've gotten better. Almost too much so. Because the pendulum has swung. Like, I used to fall for everything, and now I'm on guard and not falling for anything. To where I'm, like, legit reports or medical stuff that's coming into my email. I'm, like, not. Not clicking it. It's a scam. And it's really like, my mammogram results that I need.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Amy]

So.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I could see that. Where you're so worried that you don't click anything. What about, like, if a bill collector calls?

[Amy]

Yes, that happened recently, too, because my daughter had a doctor's bill, like, 29.99 or something that hadn't gotten paid, and it went to a collection agency, and I was, like, not falling for it. This is a scam that 29 could have ruined my credit.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, if you didn't pay it.

[Amy]

Yeah. Finally I decided to figure out a way like, well, it can't hurt if I call them back and I'm not going to give them any information. And once I called them back and they told me everything like, oh, your daughter came into this clinic this day. Check the calendar, cross referenced it, like, okay, this is legit.

[Bobby Bones]

What I do is I will go to the email and if you go up and this is just an easy tip for everybody. If you get something and you're not sure on email what it is, you go up and you click the email address. Not what it says. It could say it's from Apple Inc. But click that. And if it's like, you know, jumping John 643-28622 at Hotmail or anything weird, that is not from Apple. And then also in emails there's like my colors aren't good, but I believe it's like a silver, like a silver medal. Like a, you know how you have blue check marks and, and like Instagram and stuff. There's like a silver medal next to businesses that will come if it's like an established business in email.

[Amy]

Oh, I've never seen this.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's like as fast as we're combating it, they're finding better ways to actually scam us. And I very much recommend Lifelock on the front side of it. We all use it. I'm pretty sure they're still a partner of the show. We talk about it so much. I don't even know if we talk about it because we use it or because they're still a partner.

[Amy]

No, I pay for it. I'm paying like I have a whole system with them. I pay for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, I do too. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so. But there is insurance also, just in case. It's time for the good news with producer Eddie. Tell me something good.

[Eddie]

Chasity is from Ohio and she parked her car because she was going to the store. She has her two kids with her and they're walking to the store and as they're getting close to the store, a man comes out of nowhere.

[Bobby Bones]

Pop.

[Eddie]

Hits her in the face.

[Bobby Bones]

With what?

[Eddie]

His fists?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

Starts robbing her, takes her car keys. He's planning on stealing the car. And this part is crazy. The five year old son goes, not today. He chases the guy and grabs the keys out of his hands and the guy freaks out and keeps running. So the five year old saved the day or saved the stolen car.

[Bobby Bones]

Wow, five, five year old. Like can't you just go like, yeah.

[Lunchbox]

They'Re gonna knock him over.

[Eddie]

Like, assuming this guy probably wasn't like the strongest dude or probably not in his right mind.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm watching the clip of the five year old run up to the dude. I think the guy was just like, what's happened? It was like when a small dog, like, attacks your pant leg and you're like, chihuahua, yeah, get off me. And it won't get off. Yeah. And now you could stomp the dog, but that would be terrible. And so that he didn't do that with the kid, just kind of let him. And then the kids chasing. I'm watching the whole thing.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

This guy's the worst, like, villain ever.

[Eddie]

He's so bad. And then the lieutenant, you know, in the police department said, you know, it's really cool. The kids, he's awesome, but they advise you to not chase people that steal things like that.

[Rob Gronkowski]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But here's the thing about 5 year olds. They don't take advice.

[Eddie]

No, they sure don't. They don't listen.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. That's what it's all about.

[Better Picks Announcer]

That was.

[Bobby Bones]

Tell me something good. Wake up. Wake up in the morning. And you turn the radio on and the dial just keeps on turning, keeps on turning. Then you hear Eddie, Emmy, lunchbox, more Game two, School Steve, rabbits trying to put you through. M's riding his wigs. Next bit. And Bobby's on the mic. So you know what this is? This is the Bobby V. Store. Now time for the morning Corny Morning. The morning Corny.

[Amy]

When is turkey soup bad for your health?

[Bobby Bones]

When is turkey soup bad for your health?

[Amy]

When you're the turkey.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the morning Corny Tuesday reviews day. I got three things and I'm gonna follow up on Movie Mike and Eddie's. I watch Frankenstein on Netflix. It's awesome. It's. It was so good that I asked the guys, like, when's the last time you've seen a good movie? Because I watched that at the house. And I watched it in two sittings, though, same day. Because it's like two and a half hours long. It's so good. And it has Jacob Elordi in it. The guy from. Well, a lot of people. What's the most famous thing? Euphoria. Yeah, but what I know him from is the kissing booth.

[Eddie]

Which one is he? Who's the guy?

[Bobby Bones]

The creature. Oh, that's right.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Yeah, yeah. So it's four and a half out of five. Dr. Frankenstein. Yeah, it's. It's on Netflix. So it's Free. I mean, you get to pay for the service, but it's free. You should watch it. It's really good. I know it's not. I know. I don't like anything about the colors of it. I hate how when things are shot in those weird colors, when they wear those kind of clothes from that time. I hate everything about it except for it was really good.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's told in, like, three different chapters.

[Amy]

It doesn't really fit my movie vibe right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Me either. I'm telling you. But at the end, when they all have Christmas cheer, you're gonna love it.

[Amy]

Do they really?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they don't. But if you wait for that, maybe you'll.

[Amy]

Does a girl go to a small town and fall in love with Frankenstein?

[Bobby Bones]

Very end. I don't want to spoil it.

[Amy]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Four and a half out of five Dr. Frankenstein's. It's awesome. I watched. And I've been watching this for a couple weeks because my foot's been hurt. So we've just been kind of getting through it. That show, all her fault. And it has Shiv, you know?

[Amy]

Yeah. From Succession.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's about a kid being abducted and they gotta figure it out. Peacock. Peacock.

[Amy]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's. It's shot a little corny. Like, there's music whenever scenes get intense. That's how you kind of know when shows are corny now.

[Parker McCollum]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Because like, the real good ones, they don't need music to be like. Like, ominous. Violin plays in the background. I'm gonna give it four out of five. Everything's a spoiler if I say anything. Happy families. No, I don't wanna make it. That's too dark. Happy families.

[Eddie]

Okay, that's generic enough, but Shiv was.

[Bobby Bones]

In it, so I was like, this has gotta be awesome. A little corny at first. And then you just kind of sit in the corn. You just gotta take the corn on and it ends up being pretty good. Anybody else watch that show? I watched it. Thoughts? It gets a little bit more unbelievable as it goes along. Yeah. You're like, huh? You just kind of accept the corn. And then you're like, all right, I'll watch this. What'd you give it? I'd probably give it 3.5 out of 5. Yeah. And then Age of Disclosure.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like 30 high ranking, including the current Secretary of State, Air force pilots of 30 years, all talking about UAPs, all talking about UFOs, all talking about nuclear, all talking about no heat signature. It's. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. There's not a single conspiracy theorist in it. It's all government employees speaking on the record. It'll blow your mind if you. I had to pay for it on Amazon. 25 bucks.

[Amy]

$25?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because, you know, the good stuff, you got to pay. I'll pay for it if you'll watch it.

[Amy]

What's it called?

[Bobby Bones]

Age of Disclosure.

[Amy]

Let me watch the trailer.

[Bobby Bones]

It won't convince you.

[Eddie]

You should probably watch Frankenstein first. Be real.

[Amy]

Okay, Yeah. I mean, if you'll pay for it, I'll watch it.

[Bobby Bones]

I give it four and a half out of five spaceships. But what they talk about, too, is how the CIA funded Hollywood to make movies about little green men and aliens so Americans would be like, aliens? That's so stupid. Like, they funded that to make that the narrative.

[Amy]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. For decades. So we would all look at aliens like, oh, there's no chance little green men.

[Sophie Cunningham]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

But that was an entire, like, part of the government that was funding that. So we would all think that about it. Where other countries don't have that relationship.

[Amy]

With it, they're just more acceptable.

[Bobby Bones]

They're just more like, well, we don't know everything because we didn't know everything leading to today. We learned new things today about things we had no idea about. So why would it be crazy if we learned something new about something that we didn't know about?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Amy]

Typical us, trying to control the nft.

[Bobby Bones]

Little green men. All right, what do you have? Anything?

[Amy]

I finished the Beast in Me, which is the Net. Claire Danes, one on Netflix, and the guy from the Americans, Reese.

[Bobby Bones]

R H Y S. Yeah, I don't know his name. Matthew Reese.

[Amy]

I give it four out of five book deals.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you liked it?

[Amy]

Yeah, I did her cry sometimes. Got on my nerves, but. And you know what Netflix put up now is Homeland, because I think that's.

[Bobby Bones]

What we know her from.

[Amy]

Yeah, we know her from home. Well, a lot of things, but Homeland was so good. And the minute I started watching the Beast in me, Homeland started popping up on my screen. So I'm sure they strategically released that around the same time.

[Bobby Bones]

Matthew Reese is the guy from the Americans. Keri Russell's husband.

[Amy]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is a really great show. It's slow at first, but they are spies who live in America. They're Russian. They live in America, and they're basically a sleeper cell, and they have a completely American life, everything about them, and then you just wait till they get called in, and then you start to root for them. Yeah, it is weird in the show. Yeah, it's weird. What do you give it?

[Amy]

I give it four out of five book deals.

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bone Show.

[Lunchbox]

This story comes to us from San antonio, Texas. A 25 year old woman was out putting up Christmas decorations, getting in the holiday spirit, but her car was in the driveway, kind of making it difficult. Neighborhood kids are playing out front. She goes, hey. Nine year old tosses her the keys, says, move the car for me. Nine year old gets in the car, reverses it, Boom. Crashes down the street.

[Bobby Bones]

Was she. Wait, what? Was she anything?

[Lunchbox]

She was just a nine year old girl.

[Bobby Bones]

No, not the kid. The mom who threw the keys or the woman.

[Lunchbox]

She was a 25 year old woman. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Was she anything?

[Lunchbox]

She crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, that's one. Not drinking or not drunk or.

[Lunchbox]

No, no, she was hanging Christmas lights and she.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I hear you. No, no, but you can be drunk and hang Christmas lights.

[Lunchbox]

She didn't want to get off the ladder.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

She was busy.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, but still, I think you need to be something in order to give your nine year old.

[Amy]

Maybe you think the nine year old.

[Lunchbox]

I wouldn't even hurt nine year old. Just a kid in the neighborhood, which.

[Bobby Bones]

Is what I thought. Maybe she was drunk, hanging Christmas lights. Okay. Luckily, nobody was hurt.

[Lunchbox]

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

[Bobby Bones]

I was talking with Kaitlyn Bristow, who was a contestant on the Bachelor. Then she was the Bachelorette. Then she went on Dancing with the Stars and she won Dancing with the Stars. And we spent a long time talking about that because both of us won that show and had a bunch of crazy stories. But I was really talking to her about her time on the Bachelor and the Bachelorette, where she had to be on but with one other Bachelorette. Like it was the first time they'd ever done this where it's like, you're the Bachelorette, except we're gonna have two at the same time.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I always thought it was so crazy when I came off Bachelorette, I was so hated. Not by humans that knew me.

[Bobby Bones]

So I didn't. I didn't watch.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah. So I had.

[Bobby Bones]

What was your. I'm gonna say character? Because they do absolutely edit you to what they want you to be.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Oh, I was like the raunchy, sexualized.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you go on as a contestant first?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you win?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

No. So I went on as a contestant and the Bachelor guy, he was the. He was a farmer and I was like, I need him to know my humor right out of the limo. So I went up to him. And I was like, I don't really know much about you. Like, I know your name's Chris, and I know you're a farmer, so I'd plow the out of your field any day as a joke. And he thought it was hilarious, but they edited it to make it seem like he was like, oh, God, really? Then I just became, like, the edgy Canadian with tattoos who swore a lot, and I was sent home. There was three of us left. I was very sure he was gonna pick me. I was like, he's obsessed with me. He's definitely gonna.

[Bobby Bones]

So you thought you'd win?

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Oh, yeah. He sent me home. I was devastated. And then I came back, and then they asked me to be the bachelorette, and then they put two bachelorettes on my season, and the men got to decide who they wanted.

[Bobby Bones]

This sucks for you for two reasons. One, you finally are the one.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Except there's another one.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you go to Dancing with the Stars, which is also awesome. But then it's Covid.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, you got limited awesomeness in both the things that should have been 100% awesome.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I know it was tough, but, I mean, she. The girl that I was pitted against, was actually a friend, so we didn't. We tried to not take it so seriously. But again, I'm very competitive, and it was more about, like, winning to me than, like. Because I'm like, if they pick her, these just aren't guys for me. But also, like, pick me because I'm. I need to win.

[Bobby Bones]

You're going to be the person, and then you're not. That's kind of a mind screw.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I know. I. I made sure I negotiated the hell out of my contract for that one because I was like, if I go home night one, I still better get paid something.

[Bobby Bones]

So you didn't get with the dude in one? Please excuse my ignorance.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

No, I.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I don't expect you know anything about me.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

No, I'm not. I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you get with anybody from when you were the Bachelorette? Did you marry anybody from.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I got engaged, and I was with him. Sean Booth. Do you know that? Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

He has a gym.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

I was with him for three and a half years. And in the contract for Bachelorette, if you're. If you stay together longer than two years, you get to keep the ring. So I still have the ring from that, but we broke up, and then I started dating another bachelor guy, which was. In my head. I'm going. It just felt, you know, when you like, bond with people. I guess it could be a trauma bond. And you just know what other people.

[Bobby Bones]

You know this experience.

[Kaitlyn Bristow]

Yeah. So I was like, oh, I'll go for another Bachelor guy. Great. And speak about, like you were saying, you know, some people change from getting. I always compare it to, like a drug. And people get a little taste of what it feels like to be famous from the Bachelor, the Bachelorette. And it really does change them. And I've seen it happen so many times, and it was really important to me going in, even when I was, like, walking out of that limo, I was like, I'm. I don't care if people hate me. I'm gonna be myself. I'm not gonna let this change me. And I remember at the very end, all of a sudden, like, all these interviews were happening and people were recognizing me and I was getting all these opportunities, and I remember being so overwhelmed and I got very depressed because I just didn't know how to, like, function after being so manipulated and drinking so much and not sleeping and then picking this guy who was mad at me for sleeping with somebody else in the fantasy suites. And I was just like, in a really bad place. And I just remember in that moment going, just go back to being you. Just be you. And everything will align with what you want in life if you're just yourself and you stay humble. And it was always so important to me to not let it change me.
