Come on, Bobby.
Bobby Bones
Bobby Bones transmitting across America.
Amy
This is a Bobby Bo show. Let's go. Welcome to Wednesday show. Morning studio.
Bobby Bones
Morning.
Amy
Okay, so here's what I have because the CMAs are tonight on ABC. A lot of the artists, they go around do a bunch of interviews promoting the CMAs. And so here's Morgan with Luke Bryan. And Luke talks about going back to college. Here you go.
Lunchbox
What is something you would like to do before you die?
Bobby Bones
I want to go back to Athens.
Amy
And get my degree. Get a degree from the University of Georgia.
Lunchbox
Do you not have a degree?
Amy
I've got a degree from Georgia Southern, a business degree. But I'd like to go get.
Bobby Bones
I'd like to go get a diploma with Georgia on it.
Amy
That's fun. And I wonder if he could just do like I did because I always wanted to go to Arkansas. Couldn't because I had to work and couldn't afford to go up there and had a job that was a dream of my whole life. And now I have a. Hey, I'll say it. I'm. Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm a doctor. You know, so I, I do have an honorary doctor at University of Arkansas. But I've always too wanted to go back and like get an official one. But I don't even think I need to. I'm a doctor.
Lunchbox
Yeah, but it probably for you, you just, you like to learn. It would feel good.
Amy
No, no, stay with me here. I'm a doctor.
Lunchbox
You are a doctor.
Amy
Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Can you imagine going back to going to classes every day?
Lunchbox
I thought about it.
Morgan
Terrible.
Amy
I think I could do a lot of it virtually. I think I could probably get credit for like teaching some of it as well.
Bobby Bones
That's better.
Lunchbox
What's it like?
Amy
What?
Lunchbox
What's it like?
Amy
What's what like?
Lunchbox
What's it like to have that as an option? That be that. That's great. I didn't think about that part because I, I wouldn't have that option going back.
Bobby Bones
I was Thinking you'd go back to the dorms and like live at like college style.
Morgan
Yeah, like do it college.
Amy
I pitched a show once to CMT about sending Lunchbox back to college for a semester to finish and he would go live the college life.
Lunchbox
That'd be great.
Amy
I know they thought it was creepy.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, well, you know, creepy. You would be creepy.
Amy
Yeah, well they thought. I don't know if it was a you thing, cuz I don't think it.
Lunchbox
Was any adult man.
Amy
Yeah, but it's funny. And I was like, get this. Because this is a time when they were like, give me 100 show ideas. It's before they stopped making shows. Cuz they don't make many shows anymore. It's all like, what's that show they show all the time?
Morgan
Jersey Shore. They want the challenge.
Amy
Don't they have like a Jersey Shore type country show?
Morgan
I can't think of what it's called.
Amy
Regardless, they were like, give us all your ideas. We don't want to make shows. And they didn't make any shows anymore.
Morgan
Party down South.
Amy
Yeah, that's one of them.
Morgan
Yeah.
Amy
And I was like, Here you go. 40 year old man living in the dorms.
Lunchbox
Or that skateboarding guy. I feel like he's always on mtv. Okay.
Amy
Ridiculousness. Yeah. Luke Bryan wants to go get his degree. Lunchbox is only three hours away though from getting his college degree and he has no interest in going back.
Morgan
No ship has sailed, head is out of the dock and you can't get back.
Amy
You haven't burned the boat, but you.
Morgan
You lost the map. I mean you are so far out there in the world that to get back to that wherever you took off from.
Lunchbox
What about like you, Bobby, could he teach something and get credit?
Amy
No, but. No.
Bobby Bones
What's he gonna teach guys?
Amy
No. And I think his class, his three hours is specific.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Hey Abby, can I give you a slight homework assignment that I think would be great because I know you'll be super thorough. Yes. Would you talk with Lunchbox after we finish the show today and find out exactly what he's missing? What class?
Morgan
I wouldn't even know anymore to be honest with you.
Amy
Like figure it out. And then would you mind calling as his representative utsa and see if that class and explain the whole situation? If he could take that online to finish his degree.
Lunchbox
Yes.
Amy
Because I know he'll either not. He'll lie some way.
Lunchbox
Oh right.
Amy
I don't lie, guys, and that's a lie. Would you mind following up and just like tracking that down in no hurry. Maybe January, we can figure this out. I just want to present him the option of if you would like to finish, you don't have to. The map isn't. What do you say?
Morgan
It's gone.
Amy
The map is not gone.
Morgan
Dave blew off the ship. I mean, once you get so far out there in the sea, like, there's no going back. You're closer to the other side, so why go backwards?
Amy
And I don't think you have to. I don't think you. There's something that you need. I don't think everybody needs to go to college. I don't think a college degree is needed for most jobs, but I think it's something, though. You've made so many excuses about that you can't do it. We just want to show you that you can if you choose to.
Lunchbox
And even if it was a no, then the colleges are advancing to where it might be a yes now because of, like, yeah, doing it.
Amy
Technology. Covid now. Everybody, so close. Dude, dude, you're three hours away from graduating.
Morgan
I understand that.
Lunchbox
Guys, take it from me, it feels good. I walked across the stage three hours short, and they gave me my empty tube, and I thought, well, it appears as though I've graduated. So it just felt to me like I actually had. And then, what, 2003, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Five years later, I finished my three hours.
Amy
That was awesome.
Lunchbox
And it felt really good. Lunchbox. It felt really good.
Morgan
It felt really good walking across that stage and hugging the president of the university and saying, I'm out.
Lunchbox
Yeah.
Amy
Okay, here's Priscilla Block. She talks about with Morgan cutting off some of her finger while cooking.
Morgan
Oh, that.
Amy
She went to play two shows and then she went. Went to the er. That's what I'm talking about. This is Blood, Sweat, Tears. Still blog. If this is true, let's go. Hit it.
Priscilla Block
I was using one of those mandolin things. I do not recommend them at all. And I was making zucchini lasagna, and I went to slice the zucchini and sliced a good chunk of my thumb off. Well, it happened late that night, and I was like, do I go into the er? Like, do I not? And then I'm thinking about hopping on a plane, and I'm like, I know my finger is about to be throbbing flying. So it was a whole thing. But you know what? I made it to the show, and.
Lunchbox
You performed and you crushed it. Thank you.
Priscilla Block
And then I played the next night, and then finally I went into the doctor and they were like, it's a Good thing you came in.
Amy
That's awesome. I won't even go on the story of how to. How I had an ax in my head and still did a stand up show. Don't worry about that. Don't talk about that. I won't do that. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we got a lot. Morgan talked with Blake Shelton. We have that coming up.
Morgan
It's the anonymous synbo.
Amy
Anonymous inbox. There's a question to be had. Hello, Bobby Bones. I heard you guys talking about lunchboxes. Parents getting scammed on Facebook recently. I need some help when it comes to teaching my mother about the dangers of social media. She's 75. She joined Facebook a few years ago. She's been hacked three times. She's constantly sharing things that are clearly fake and then also the potential scams. She's not grasping that she doesn't have to share everything that gets a reaction from her. And she's got no concept of how some of these pages she's accessing are set up to specifically target gullible people. Is there any way to educate her on how to spot scams, fakes, and dangerous malware without making her feel like I'm calling her stupid or something? Sign. Daughter of a senior citizen that needs help. Well, I will say it is difficult for even us sometimes to recognize when something is a scam and the links that come along. So we can't act like we're better than even your mom. We're probably a little more educated because we grew up inside of it. Instead of having it introduced to us later in life, we come on the air and we're like, man, this was a good one. Almost fell for it. I mean, yesterday at a usps, they're like, we got your package. We're holding it. And I'm like, oh, my God, I need that package. And I'm like, I don't know the packages, but I need it. Like. Like they get us. I think it's just mostly explaining to her that basically clicking anything is dangerous. Like everything has to almost be vetted before you click it at all. I don't click a link without right clicking. Or if I get an email and I'm not sure, I'll go up and open that email up. Just right click it and see where it's from. But again, this is. It's the wild west. And Facebook is full of it because older people are on Facebook. And also she's doing at 75 probably what you did at like 14 or 15. Like, she's rebelling. She's going crazy. She's finally got a little, little freedom here. I think the best thing to do would just be to individually walk her through some of the things that she has done and say, hey, this is how you're going to get in trouble. This is how they get your information. And There are also YouTube videos that I'll watch sometimes to learn stuff, not just about this, where they do them for like 6 year olds or like an ELI 5. And it's like, watch this and I'll teach you about Genghis Khan or I will teach you about the Renaissance and you can watch them. And then at the end, I'm like, oh, got it. But I think you're gonna have to educate her like a child, because she's like a child here because this is all new to her.
Lunchbox
Oh, but also you could just say, look, this is what I have to do for myself. Like you were saying, Bobby. Like, you've been vulnerable. We all are.
Amy
Like, she could vulnerable.
Lunchbox
Like, she could say, hey, mom, like I. I get tricked too. It's really easy to get confused. And that way her mom doesn't feel like whatever she said she doesn't want to make her feel stupid.
Amy
Yeah. And then show her video for like a child as well. But say, this is what I have to watch because I also am not great at figuring it out. Like, everybody falls for it. And then also do like Amy used to do. Amy used to teach, like, sex ed to kids and she'd so that show them like, pictures of like, oh my God, whenever, like, their. Their private parts would be all eaten up with stuff. Oh, she'd be like, this is what happens when your private parts are eaten up and she hold a picture of private part.
Morgan
It was so bad.
Lunchbox
I mean, it was. It was a slideshow, let me tell you. I cringe even thinking back about it now.
Amy
But hey, you can tell are these stories about people that get scammed out of 50, $60,000.
Lunchbox
Elderly is a high population for STDs.
Amy
No, no, we're talking about scamming. We jump back over to scamming.
Lunchbox
Right.
Bobby Bones
But thank you though, Andrew.
Lunchbox
She could work that in, I don't know, her mom's dating situation.
Amy
Yeah. Good luck. Good luck. Good luck. It's just new to her. So everything is, like, fun. And yes, Facebook is where they target everybody. And it's also the most viable place to go. Twitter's getting there now, but Facebook is. It's awful. It's vile. Okay, good luck. We gave you like four things you can do and you know what? Still, they're outsmarting us. So eventually she's gonna get caught up again if she loves clicking stuff.
Lunchbox
Or you might have to be like, mom, I'm sorry, you can't use Facebook unless I'm with you. You have to put restrictions on her phone and her computer.
Amy
Perfect idea. Introduce her to forwards on emails. Remember those?
Lunchbox
Oh, my gosh. My mom used to do that all the time.
Amy
All right, there you go. Good luck. That will be difficult, but I think you can do it. Thank you for emailing us. All right, close it up. Here's Amy's pile of stories.
Lunchbox
So, Bobby, there's a shop, it's called Sheen. My daughter loves it. A lot of girls shop there. You can get shirts for, like, I don't know, $3. And tick tock Shop is obviously really popular and sells cheap things. Amazon is like, whoa, we gotta take these places on. So they are putting out a discounted storefront that sells a lot of products for $20 or less. It's called Amazon Haul, and it's gonna be in the Amazon app. So you have to have the app, but you can get in there and get all these really amazing deals.
Amy
Revolutionary. It's called the Dollar Store. Ever heard of it?
Lunchbox
Yeah, but it's online and they deliver it straight to your door.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
A study found that using abbreviations like LOL and OMG in text messages can make you seem insincere. And if you want someone to know, like, that you really found it funny or shocking, it's better to use full words instead.
Amy
Yesterday I was texting with a friend of mine who I find very funny. We kind of have a rule that we don't go haha is the general one. Nobody does lol, unless it's like a put down. Then you do laws.
Lunchbox
Oh, nobody does lol.
Amy
No, not really. Oh.
Lunchbox
We quit that.
Amy
Yeah. Years ago. Okay.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
It's only used now if, like, you're making fun of something and you do lawsuits. But I text him something and he wrote back the following. He said, I laughed audibly at this.
Bobby Bones
See, that's better.
Lunchbox
And that was that. Did that feel more of, like a genuine connection?
Amy
Only because we do that. Yeah. But if I get a solid haha on top of the. On the button, that's pretty good. You know, you hit it and hold it down. Haha. Yeah, I take that as a haha.
Lunchbox
You know my least favorite hold down of the button? Thumbs up.
Amy
Oh, oh, thumbs up. Thumbs up means I've received it.
Lunchbox
Oh, gosh. A thumbs up is just. I don't know. I just think I overall hate the thumbs up. It just doesn't make me feel good. I second guess everything I sent.
Amy
I think you have a bad relationship with thumbs up.
Lunchbox
Maybe.
Amy
Thumbs up is I received it. I acknowledge it, got it, and feel good about it.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Thumbs down is like, I don't get it or I hate it.
Bobby Bones
Right?
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I feel like if I'm sending bad news, they're like, boo. Thumbs down. Like, I'm not personally offended by it.
Amy
But also thumbs down if I don't understand. Oh, like, thumbs down. Do you get it? Thumbs down. Nope.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Yeah. I think you need to build a new relationship with these. You're still holding on to, like, the 10 years ago version of what these emojis mean.
Lunchbox
Okay.
Amy
Yeah. And no more lol, okay? Unless it's laws. And that's why we're making fun of each other.
Lunchbox
I feel like someone sent me an LOL the other day, and now I thought I was actually being funny, and now I'm questioning that. Okay.
Amy
All right.
Lunchbox
Thomas Rhett. When he was a kid, he had a pretty famous babysitter. Anyone want to guess who it was?
Amy
Jeffrey Dahmer.
Lunchbox
No. Thank goodness. That would be really, really bad. No. Here's a clip of TR talking about it.
Amy
Reba has babysat knee. My dad used to tour with Reba. It's one time, me and her son Shelby were playing with some toy or something we were arguing over, and Reba came and stopped that really fast. Nothing would fly under Reba's watch. That's pretty funny. That's a total Nashville story.
Bobby Bones
That's awesome.
Amy
I had a pretty famous babysitter. I never talked about Roseanne. Roseanne?
Lunchbox
Oh, yeah. She took care of you through the tv.
Amy
Through the tv, yeah. For days at a time, every day. Yeah.
Lunchbox
Did you ever have a babysitter for real? What?
Amy
No. No.
Lunchbox
This is a legit question.
Amy
Earth, Hard knocks.
Bobby Bones
The land.
Amy
Yeah. The streets.
Lunchbox
Right.
Amy
I know.
Lunchbox
That was.
Amy
No. Never. I had no rules. I'm not saying I had no babysitter. Wang White. I had no rules my whole life. I could leave. I could come as I go, leave as I go. If I didn't show up at night, nobody cared for a lot. But I think I had every opportunity to do everything bad, so I did nothing bad.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy.
Amy
I was the opposite of a homeschool kid who then goes crazy later on.
Bobby Bones
Like, that's the formula to be a criminal. But you're not a criminal.
Amy
I know most people know Where I'm from, though. Yeah.
Lunchbox
That makes you an anomaly.
Amy
A superhero.
Lunchbox
I think I'm Amy. That's my file.
Amy
That was Amy's pile of stories. It's time for the good news with Amy. Tell me something good.
Lunchbox
This cool. A unique giving machine was recently installed in downtown Detroit. And it's a really easy way to support those during the holiday. Like, you go up to the machine, you purchase the items that you want to donate, like socks or meals to charitable causes. Then you swipe, tap your credit card, whoever. Beep, beep, you're done. Which is great because sometimes you have to actually have the physical item and maybe put it in the giving box.
Amy
So they're not in the machine. You're just swiping for someone to see that information and put it in.
Lunchbox
Yeah. It's like, this is not a giving box. It's a giving machine. So it just, like, takes care of it digitally and you hope that's what's happening.
Amy
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna believe.
Lunchbox
That's what I know. But I mean, tell me something good.
Amy
Not tell me something I'm suspicious about. Right.
Lunchbox
But I feel like we're moments away from scammers putting up.
Amy
We don't do that. And tell me something good. Okay, we don't do that. I love the idea. I bet it's not being. I bet it's a charity that's doing it. We love it.
Lunchbox
Yeah, it's a church.
Amy
Oh, tell me something good, though. Tell me something good. That's a good, great idea. That's what it's all about. That was Tell me something good.

Amy
And you're gonna be off, but we will see if you're close enough to give you the point.
Morgan
Got it.
Amy
And number 10, Beyonce. Texas Hold'em.

Amy
Wrong Megan Maroney song. Right. Artist number eight, Zach Top. I never lie. You're not gonna know this one.
Morgan
No, I don't know that one. I'm not even gonna lie.
Amy
Funny song about this. I have a friend that was playing a show with Zach where they were doing a writers round and they were going around and around. And after Zach Top played this song, the group that was next to go after Zach dead wait 10 minutes because crowd would stop cheering.
Lunchbox
Oh, wow, that's cool.
Amy
It was one of those. When you hear about the movie festival and everything, Dasha Austin.

Amy
The song was big.

Bobby Bones
You've never heard this?
Amy
Are you kidding?
Morgan
I don't know if I know this one. Ain't no love in Oklahoma. Because he's from West Virginia.
Amy
The funniest thing is you're almost there on the melody. But he's not. It's not because he knows it. He just got lucky.
Morgan
No, no. I have to know it then.
Amy
Okay, go ahead.
Morgan
Ain't no love in Oklahoma.

Amy
Somebody pour me a drink.
Morgan
Oh, man. Hold on.
Amy

Bobby Bones
Nothing.
Lunchbox
Here comes the two to the three.
Morgan
Three to the four.
Amy
Okay, that's the wrong one, though. That's the old one. That's the old one. Yeah.
Lunchbox
You need to come to 2024.
Bobby Bones
There may be nothing in there for you.
Amy
Let me give you the first line.
Morgan
Gosh, this is hard.
Amy
Ready? My baby wants a Birkin.
Bobby Bones
Come on.
Morgan
She wants a Birkin bag.
Amy
She's been telling me all night long.
Morgan
Maybe I'm not gonna get you that Birkin, but give me some jack.
Amy
Oh, for 10.
Bobby Bones
Oh, my God.
Amy
And before people go, why is he even doing music? It ain't about that on this show, guys. Not for all of us. Some of us should get on Facebook and chat.
Bobby Bones
It is crazy, though, that he's heard most of these songs.
Amy
No, no, no. I'd say 8 out of 10.
Bobby Bones
I don't think he knew Dasha. Like, sincerely. Have you seen her?
Morgan
I mean, I've never seen her before. That is new.
Amy
I think he has.
Lunchbox
You have seen her.
Amy
Thank you, Lunchbox.
Morgan
Yeah, you're welcome.
Amy
Thank you. All right. It's Dirk Spentley's birthday today. 49 years old. Five things you may not know about Dirk Spentley as he celebrates his birthday. He got a day job working for the old television network tnn. And he was just researching old footage of country performances. And he played in bars. He worked on demo tracks at night. And as he was working at the TV station, he talked to us. These are all clips from our show about how he would give his music out to anybody he thought could help him get a start.
Dierks Bentley
Yeah, we worked at Tina, and the building's gone where we used to work. It was across the street from the Opry house. And it was when Tina and CMT were kind of all packed together. And I was just doing anything I could at that point. Yeah, I was working on music, and I was recording songs. I was playing downtown on lower Broadway. I was riding at, you know, ascap and the little writers room they have upstairs for kind of a thing of just a shotgun blast that put as much stuff out there and seeing what would stick.
Amy
And he eventually got fired because he was. As he was working for tnn, he was, like, giving music out to people he shouldn't. And I think they ended up firing from the place. He loves to fly. He's a pilot, and he flies himself to and from shows. He talked about how Tim McGraw inspired his dream of flying.
Dierks Bentley
And then I flew with Kenny Chesney one time, coming back to a show in a private jet. My first time ever in a jet. I was like, this is unbelievable. It was back in 2003. I made signature, my password in my computer. And so every time I had to get on my computer, I had to type the word signature. And I was like, I'm gonna own a jet. I always look at planes, and these guys go, that's Tim McGraw. He's. Tim's up there flying that plane to the gig today. It was a charity gig we were doing, and sure enough, it was Tim McGraw. And he's like, yeah, I'm getting my pilot's license. And he was flying this cool plane. Well, he was an instructor flying to a gig, multitasking. And so I went out the next day and started flying that instructor.
Amy
No chance, because that's the license. I don't want. I don't want to fly. I don't want to get up there and start thinking like I do now on the ground where it's like, how did this metal get up here? Yeah, like, no idea. He told us a story about how he took his guitar and found a music executive and said, hey, come in the parking lot, and I want to play you this song. What was I thinking?
Dierks Bentley
And she met me outside, and I played it for acoustically, like, outside the club. Oddly enough, I fought really hard for that not to be the first single.
Amy
So what did you want to be.
Dierks Bentley
The first song called Wish youh Would Break, which is more about country thing. So you're wishing your. Your car steer would break because every song plays, reminds you, girl. It's a great song. But Mike Dungan from Capital was like, we're going with losing, so.
Amy
And you're glad it did. Yeah. And finally, this is a recent interview we had with him where he flipped out on his daughter's volleyball coach because we were talking about being, like, a dad and a sports dad, and he had just come off the road, and he got upset when his daughter wasn't put in the game. And so he confronted the coach, and then he was like, maybe I shouldn't be released to the public quite yet.
Dierks Bentley
She's not getting in. She's like, no. I'm like, let's go.
Amy
Oh.
Dierks Bentley
So I pulled my daughter. Now she's screaming, I'm trying to protect my daughter. Coach said something to me. I said something back to the coach. We walk off. My daughter's calling me dad.
Morgan
You're a Psycho.
Amy
I just wasn't ready to be back.
Dierks Bentley
Like, off the tour bus and back in, like, a real world situation. Oh, yeah. So emails and visitations and trying to just hat in hand back at the school.
Bobby Bones
Like, I am sorry.
Dierks Bentley
I am an idiot. So I do get, like, especially my daughters are playing sports. I get this inner, like, soccer person, a soccer dad that comes out. That's kind of. I gotta control a little bit.
Amy
Stars are just like us. Irrational, crazy tired. Anyway, happy birthday. Dierks has been one of the greatest guys in general to us, for us, even as a friend of me. Dierks Bentley, 49 years old today, Gwen Stefani says she did not even know Blake Shelton existed before she met him on the Voice. This is from uproxx. I do believe this because Gwen Stefani is so famous. It's not like somebody who is not famous going, I never even heard of them, but secretly they were in the Jonas Brothers fan club. You know what I mean? So this is very believable. She's older than him.
Lunchbox
By.
Amy
We can look that up. I'm almost positive she's older than him.
Bobby Bones
I would think so.
Amy
Like, Blake is ageless to me. Like, you just don't know. Like, is he like mid-40s? He's like mid-50s.
Lunchbox
Yeah. He could fall into either. Yeah, I would say I was on the lower side.
Amy
He's 48.
Bobby Bones
Oh, boom.
Lunchbox
Wow. Way to go, Eddie.
Amy
Gwen's 55. What? Wow. Gwen, 55. As deeply in love as the couple appears to be. During an interview with the Guardian, she said she was not aware of him or his professional accomplishments. And I believe her because she did not need his professional accomplishments. Like, that's what's so believable about this story. She said, I never listened to country music. So while Blake was super successful, I never even knew he existed. I mean, that went kind of hard saying it like that. Maybe just like, I never heard of him. But yeah, I mean, they. You want name drop story or no? Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Yes.
Amy
I've stayed at Blake's place before, and they're pretty normal. Like, she went to get groceries, and they, like, are, like, lovey in normal life.
Lunchbox
Like, yeah, like, love.
Amy
Yeah, like.
Lunchbox
Like, they really, really like each other.
Amy
Like, yeah, they genuinely like each other. And.
Bobby Bones
What do you mean she got groceries? Like, she was like, I'm gonna be back. Get some milk.
Amy
No, she left and came back and had, like, two bags of groceries. And then I didn't cook. Then. Then everybody cooked.
Bobby Bones
That's crazy.
Amy
Yeah, it's great. I don't like being that guy?
Morgan
Yeah, go ahead. Another one.
Amy
Here's the thing. I don't like being that guy. But what I do like to do is have these stories that I can share because I feel like I'm not part of that group, but I can, like, infiltrate it and bring stuff back to the normal people group.
Bobby Bones
And we like that.
Amy
Okay. I was at Keith Urban's house and Nicole Kidman FaceTimes him and is like, hey, I'm going to the grocery store. What do you want? It's two grocery stories from, like, massive couples. That's it.
Morgan
We.
Amy
We think that these people aren't normal and don't live normal lives. And for the mid part, they don't, but they are still absolutely human. And especially if they live here in Los Angeles, it's a whole different thing. Those people are cuckoo. That's why I never wanted to live out there. They're cuckoo out there. It's not even a reality. But, like, here is pretty normal. And when I saw that, because Nicole Kidman is. Ah. So is Gwen, though. They're both like international superstars.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. They're huge.
Amy
And both of them are like, I'll go get groceries. And I'm like, what's next? You're gonna check the mail?
Lunchbox
Stop it.
Amy
Yeah, what's next? You're gonna mow the yard? Like, it's unbelievable, right? But it is. And I guess that's my point in this is I'm not actually sharing these stories to be like, look at me. I'm saying, let me shine a light on these people who we pedestal and think while they're nothing like us, and they do live lives that we cannot understand fully, and they do have access to things that we don't know and have talents that we don't. But in the end, they're just in their core. There's people that gotta go get some macaroni and cheese at the grocery store. I got two grocery store stories. That's crazy.
Bobby Bones
That's so cool.
Amy
About massive stars. Yeah, I thought that was a pretty fun story. When asked if they plan on following up on their first collaboration, Gwen replied, I would love to. I'll say this a couple days ago. And this will probably air early next week. Two days ago. I mean, yesterday I was sick too, but two days ago, as soon as the show was over, I had to run because I was sick. I got sick here in the building. So finish the show. And Amy is absolutely 100 capable. It didn't matter who the person was coming in. And then with Blake, he's like the greatest, easiest guy to have to, like, leave. Like, I probably could have left, like, Ray with Blake and it had been fine. Luckily, it's Amy, so it was great. No offense, Ray. I'm just saying Blake, I'm giving Blake props. None taken. Okay. Thank you.
Bobby Bones
Okay.
Amy
And so I had. I left and Amy did. Did a Blake interview that's gonna air in a couple of days and it's great. And Blake. Blake's awesome. Anyway, that's all.
Bobby Bones
You did an awesome job.
Morgan
Great job.
Amy
It was great.
Lunchbox
Oh, thanks, guys.
Morgan
Great job.
Bobby Bones
Really.
Amy
Are you guys trying to get something from her?
Bobby Bones
No.
Lunchbox
No, I don't.
Amy
Yeah.
Lunchbox
I'm like, what's going on?
Bobby Bones
No, it's just. It was good. I was. Not that we were surprised. I just think that.
Amy
So, like, have been offended by them acting that hardcore because I'd have been like, what do you expect from me? Not good. Don't be. That's a genuine compliment, I think.
Lunchbox
No, it's probably just because also, like, you were saying, Blake is so great. So that probably made it feel overall like an awesome interview.
Amy
He's really good. You made it great.
Bobby Bones
There we go.
Amy
There you go.
Priscilla Block
Thanks, guys.
Bobby Bones
Good job.
Amy
You're welcome.

He gets down. He thinks somebody threw a brick in his window. He gets down. He crawls outside, saves his mom, his wife and his little daughter. Make sure they're okay. Then he calls 911. Cops come over like, whoa. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's a bullet. The bullet came through his window. Apparently it was a stray from two blocks away. Some incident that happened over there. And he had just bought this bookcase from IKEA that he assembled a week ago. And that bullet was stopped by the IKEA bookcase.
Lunchbox

Bobby Bones
How about just working in your office just comes through your window?
Amy
I have a friend that had a bullet shot through their bedroom. It went into their bed, like, shot into their bed. And they just happened to be downstairs. Usually they would have been in bed by then. They were not. They were down watching a show. And they went upstairs because they heard a. Like a. And the bullet. I mean, you know, the person went into their bed.
Morgan
I have a friend that was watching tv, and they were sitting there in their apartment and a bullet hit their tv. His name? Susan. Ray Mundo.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that's right.
Amy
Was it while you're watching Ray? I was in bed. Yeah, I thought so.
Morgan
Nobody was watching tv.
Amy
Yeah, she went to get a bath. Though it would have been worth. See, I mean, I'm still. The stories get exaggerated real quick.
Bobby Bones
Crazy.
Amy
It's. Yes, it's crazy. But they weren't watching TV right then.
Bobby Bones
You know, my brother got shot at. And the bullet hit the little metal part between the two windows. And, like, if it would have just been an inch to the left, it would have hit him right in the neck. Really?
Amy
Yep. Right there.
Bobby Bones
And that car saved his life.
Lunchbox
You know, my uncle died in a bar fight. Got shot.
Amy
Okay, this is going okay. And that's Eddie. Thank you for that. Tell me something good. There you go. That was. Tell me something good. All right, over to Amy with the Morning Corny. The Morning Corny.

Caller
I need some advice. My nephew is turning 5, and my brother has Invited my son and I to go to his birthday at a trampoline park. The only thing is, my son is two and a half and I feel like that's too young to go to a trampoline park. So I opted out. And now my family's giving me a lot of guilt about not going. Do you think two and a half is too young to go to a trampoline park for a birthday party? It is my nephew, but I just don't think it's safe.
Amy
We got a couple guys here that have young kids. Eddie, you first.

Amy
Baby trampoline.

Bobby Bones
No, they can't. And they're like, freak out. Then you go in and you're like, you want to do it again? Then you throw them in there, and then they love it.

Infant?
Bobby Bones
No, like one or two year old.
Lunchbox

Morgan
Trampoline park is perfect for a two and a half year old. They can. They can jump on trampolines. Eddie said it. The foam pit is amazing. You toss them in and then they're like, whoa.
